London, Dec. 19, 1919.-On the
Islands of Trinidad and Tabbage the
most progressive and enlightened of
the West Indian Islands and populat-
ed almost entire:y by colored people
was a scene of revolutionary uprising
for over seven days. The British
government considers this revolt the
most significant, since the Boar upris-
ing grew out of labor trouble. 1t is
said that the uprising has been in
the making for more than three
years, but that the natives upon flat
tering promises for social and econo-
mic equality and independence by
the British Government decided to
bury the hatchet and heat back the
Hun. Instead of fulfilling their
promises the British government has
tried to introduce the American
practice of peonage. They have also
tried to curb free sl ch and free
assemblage.

Culprit Caught
Confesses Crime
Expressman held as accessory
after fact

slumbering state of rest. So ignor-
ant was he that any suspicion had
been centered around him and to
further conceal any identity Of the
crime he claimed not to have heard
anyone trying to gain admitance to
his apartments.
After giving him through grill
ling he admitted frankly to the crime
and stated clearly that he and his
wife had some domestic trouble which
led up to the killing. &
Wife's head was crushed in.
During the course of the heated
argument he seized deadly weapon
striking her on the head and crushed
the skull in two places. ~
Not being satisfied with the job he
had done, he employed friend.
whose name is Owen Donaldson and
lives at 80 East 37th St., operating
an express wagon, to help him to
disect the body.
After having cut the body into
pieces they carried it out and buried
it in vacant lot at 1857 So. State
ST. Later developments show that
the head was found at 40th and
Wentworth Ave, presumably carried
there by Donaldson who says that he
was paid $25.OO by Reese to assist
him in destroying the body.
Reese has lived in Chicago quite
a long time and was formerly en-
ployed by the Pullman Co. as a por-
ter In order that he might be able
to give more time to the inner circle
of home affairs, forsook the travails
of the porter's life and found employ
ment at the Stock Yards where he
was working as butcher at the time
the dastardly crime was committed.
Personal friends of Reese says that
his disposition was stubborn, temper
unruly and that he had an evil dis
positioned mind.

GERMAN PRISON CAMPS BETTER

At the government Base Hospital,
47th and Drexel Boulevard, there are
several of our colored wounded sold
iers. In compliance with ruling in
effect at this hospital, the colored
and white men are completely separat-
ed, they not even being allowed to
walk on the same floors of the build
ing together. The efficiency of this
segregation has given opportunity for
another display of race prejudice and
narrowness on the part of the white
patrons of the hospital in that they
are absolutely declining to decorate or
prepare for Xmas the wards inhabit-
ed by the eolored soldiers; saying that
the colored people know they are out
there, let them do for their own.

One of the most barbaric, heinous,
fiendish and cave man like murders
that ever docketed the annals OF
police history consummated itself
Thursday night, Dec. 18th, when the
body of Mrs. Reese cut into pieces
avs unearthed on vacant lot at
1867 So. State st.
The mysterious crime had its be-
ginning at the apartments OF the
murdered woman, Mrs. Reese, and
her husband John Henry Reese, 1868
Wabash Ave.
1t was said by neighbors that she
and her husband had quarreled dur
ing the course of the evening of
December 5th. Just what led up to
this understanding has not re-
vealed itself up to this date.
Jealousy suspected.
1t has been automatically tsated that
Reese gave his wife sometime during
Thursday, Dec. the 4th, $4,000
in cash money Just what disposi-
ton was made of the money has not
yet been determined. 1t is generally
understood that the money and other
domestic affairs played major part
in the tragedy.
Tenants get suspicious.
The sudden disappearance of Mrs.
Reese for several days aroused the
suspicion of friends and neighbors.
Patrolman Blue of the Cottage Grove
Ave. station was called in, he knocked
on the door several times and got no
response. Fearing that the culprit
might take advantage of the situation
as he was alone the officer proceeded
to summon help.
The arrival of the patrol wagon
bore half dozen or more blue coats.
The strong arm of the law was forced
to break through the door to gain
admittance. Upon entering the room
they found Reese supposedly in a

Woman Murders Son;
Tries to Hide Crime
By Accusing Negros

Atlantic City, N. Y, Dec. 10TH
Had Mrs. Esther Blake been in Mis-
sissippi instead of New Jersey two
unfortunate colored men would be
swinging to day. AS it is her tale
has been discredited by the police and
she is being held for crime for
which she sought to escape respons-
ibility by using the time worn charge
of the south.
Several days ago Mrs. Blake relat-
ed to the police the astonishing story
of her sons kidnapped by two ne
groes "of burly appearance. She
claimed that the two men attacked
her while she was walking along the
beach in company with her son and
that after she had been severely
beaten and bruised, her son had been
carried off by the men.

STORY DISCREDITED.

Yesterday the boys body was found
on the beach, washed up by the
waves. No two such men as Mrs.
Blake described have been seen in
the neighborhood and the police are
inclined to scoff at her whole story.
1t is the belief of the authorities that
the woman killed her son, who is a
deaf mute, in order to win back the
affections of her husband, from whom
she had been away. Her husband
blamed her for her sons affliction.

Col. Young Sent To Liberia

Washington, Dec. 11.--Col. Chas.
Young, the highest ranking colored
officer in the United States regular
service at West Point graduate and
one of the most efficient cavalry Of
ficers in the universe at the request
of President King of Liberia was Sc
lected by the Wilson administration
as military attache to the African
republic.
Trained African Army.
Some years ago Col. Young was
given a leave of absence from the
United States Army, during the in
term he went to Liberia and intro
duced the present military system
that is being used. During his stay
he succeeded in building an Army
numbering more than $4,000. 1t is
said that as a result of his modern
training Liberia has been able to stay
from the hand of designing White
Nations from Western Europe. Col.
Young says that the natives are born
fighters, all they need is a uniform
system.
Retired by Wilson.
During the late war Col. Young,
who was then Lit. Col of cavalry, was
relagated to the scrap heap by the
Wilson administration. The excuse
being Physical disability" accord
ing to expert testimony the Col. was
in first class shape. White men how
ever who had never seen a rifle or
who did not know the command

missions. Prejudice is SAID to be the
direct cause of this retirement, ac-
cording to Army regulation. When
an officer is retired he is automatic
ally given a rank higher, this being
reuw Col Young had he been re-
tanned in the active service would
have been retired with the rank of
General. The south being in the sad
die the Colonel did not have a ghost
of show.

which have been made in the cove
nant Of the league of nations at Paris
have been cabled from Paris to Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska. retiring
chairman of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee. The message was re-
ceived today by the senator but he
declined to discuss it further than to
say he had not asked the American
peace delegates for the information.
Senator Hitchcock is regarded gen
enerally as the chief spokesman of the
administration in the controversy
which has developed in this country
over the league of nations plan. and it
is understood that the purpose of
sending the communication was not
only to keep the senator informed of
the progress made in revising the
league constitution, but also that eX-
peCted to be made.
Senator Hitchcock is to participate
in a joint debate with Senator Lem
root of Wisconsin, republican, on the
league of nations in New York next
Monday night and it is probable he
will use some of this information in
his address. The communication to-
Senator Hitchcock was said to lie the
first relative to the peace conference
to be received by any senator from
the American delegates at Paris.

and her young grandson. Otis, at the
Bush farm home near Olathe, Colo.
in December. 1917. In the alleged
confession submitted H. the prose-

boiled his body after he had Killed
the boy Otis and disposed of his body
in a similar manner because the boy
had stolen a small amount of money.
Mrs. Bush is alleged to have said that
her son compelled her to help dis

killed the boys father for fear he
would attack her.
The defense outlined late today
was that Mrs. Bush had concocted
this story to enable her son to escape

In support of this contention the
defense today placed two witnesses
on the stand. J. II. Roatcan testified
that he saw John Bush in Olathe two
