pie are manifesting a greater measure
of enthusiasm for their own welfare
now than has been known at any time
since emancipation, and the readiness
with which they are responding to the
call of the representative men in
charge of this cause bodies well for the
future of all concerned. Active work
in the organization of local units is
being carried on day by day by public
spirited men and women, and to make
the convention truly national" par
ticular attention is being paid to the
territory as far west as Kansas City
and as far south as Texas and the gulf
border, where personal canvass is
being made. Large delegations from
the South and West will render a
service that cannot be valued too
highly in pushing our problems of
suffrage and equal rights to the fore
ground of national consideration. The
adoption of the "zone system" is prov
ing quite effective, and in the western
districts, under the supervision of Rev.
J. r. Ransom of Wichita, Kan, the
results reported are gratifying to the
last degree. In a measure not less
satisfactory the southern districts are
being heard from and delegates in
many quarters have already been
elected and qualified.
Prof. John Il. Hawkins, executive
secretary in charge of the $250,0OO
emergency defense fund for the pro-
lection of the race everywhere, reports
a constant inflow of subscriptions,
with churches, fraternities, clubs and
individuals responding generously and
heartily. The recent unfortunate race
happenings here and in other places
have deeply impressed upon our people
the necessity for the maintenance of a
substantial defense fund for just such
emergencies, and Professor Hawkins
is confident he will be able to make a
showing at the October convention
that will be both surprising and in
spring.
The Negro press is lending cordial
support to this movement "of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the people"
and there is every reason to believe
that Oct. 7 will bring to Washington
the most progressive outpouring of the
rooa tbat tho nation has ever wit
messed.

Young Man Gets
Aldermanic Boost

Mr.. Walter Anderson, senior part
ner of Anderson & Terrell, prominent
real estate brokers of the city, was
favorably mentioned as the most log
zeal candidate in the next aldermanic
election.
He is very widely known for his
honesty and ability, especially as it
apertains to the civic needs of the
city. To no less degree is he in
formed upon the necessary changes

needed to make this section of Chi

A wagon load of pennies amounting
to $4,000 was dumped into the street

He was arrested early last November
charged with desertion. While await
ing court-martial he and three white
prisoners escaped by scaling a high
wall at the camp. The white men
have been recaptured and are serving
sentences in the Leavenworth federal
prison. Woodbridge was arrested short
ly after his first escape and while be-
ing brought back, leaped through the
window of a moving train and again
fled. 1t was said that Woodbridge is
dangerous character and the utmost
care will be exercised this time in
preventing his escape again.

Visitors Struggled Pistols TO
Pontiac Inmates, Belief;
Two Killed in Fight.

Two mysterious women visitors
were traced to Chicago Monday as
the search for the gun-runners who
supplied the ammunition for Sun
days rioting in the state reformatory
at Pontiac was renewed.
Transfer of the ringleaders in the
convicts' uprising to Joliet peniten-
tiary was contemplated. The state
authorities have ordered an investi-
cation.
Wounded Guard Dying.
Physicians stated that the death of
Carl Hancock, guard, shot through
the head, was matter of hours. His
father, John Hancock, shot in the leg,
will recover.
Two were killed in the fighting that
followed the attempted jail-break.
They were Charles Kruger, reforma-
tory guard, shot and beaten to death,
and John Kelly, Chicago gunman, in
mate.
John Frederick, Chicago, inmate,
who with Kelly led the vain rush of
the convicts Cor freedom, was wound
ed in the thigh.
Shoot Two Guards.
Rioting started when Kruger, no.
ticing signs that the bars of the door
of the cell occupied by Kelly and
Frederick had been sawed, called
Carl Hancock and attempted to re-
move the men to solitary confinement.
As the guards entered the cell the
two convicts drew automatic pistols
and fired point blank. Both guards
fell. Krugers' death was instanta-
neous.
At the sound of the shooting Turn
key w. F. Donovan FASTENED into the
corridor, where he was promptly am
pushed. He was forced to surrender
his keys and locked in a cell.
Turn Loose 500 Inmates.
Frederick, stationing himself at a
point of vantage, held off the other
guards with pistol shots while Kelly
attempted to release the remainder
of the 500 prisoners.

EMBARGO WORST
FOE OF COTTON:
Smith AT WORK

ATLANTA, Feb. 10.-That the price
Of cotton will not advance materially
until the embargo restrictions on cot
tom exports are removed by the War
Trade Board Is the belief of Atlanta
bankers and business men who are
watching the situation closely and this
opinion was shared by the statewide
conference held at Macon Thursday
Tor the purpose Of launching a cur
tailment Of acreage and promoting the
holding movement.
Acting on the information and adj
vice contained in a telegram from
Senator Hoke Smith, the cotton con-
ference passed resolutions strongly
insisting upon the removal of the en-
barge restrictions, and further than
this the farmers of the state are anx-
iOus for the blockade of German and
Austrian ports to be removed at the
earliest possible moment, in view OF
the fact that Germany has surren-
dered her navy and airplane fleet and
demobilized her army and retired
across the Rhine, rendering her pow
sriess to launch another attack on the
world.
While the acreage curtailment is
being actively and aggressively pro-
NOTED in Georgia, following the state
conference, Senator Smith in Wash
tngton will exert his utmost efforts to
secure the removal fthe embargo
restrictions, which make it necessary,
practically speaking, to secure the
consent and approval of the War Trade
Board to ship any cotton out of the
country

The preamble to their constitution is
one of the finest and most patriotic
paragraphs ever written in the Eng
fish language. 1t is as follows:
For God and Country we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes:
"To uphold and defend the Consti-
tuition of the United States OF
America; to maintain law and order:
TO foster and perpetuate a hundred
per cent Americanism; to preserve
the memories and incidents Of our as.
sociation in the Great War; to in
culcate a sense Of individual obliga-
ton to the community state and ma
ton; to combat the autocracy of both
the classes and masses; to make
right the master of might; to promote

secrate and sanctify our comradeship

ness, and to safeguard and transmit
