"It is generally conceded" said

that the low prices obtaining for

WH|SKEY IN COFFIN
CAUSES SENSATION
PROFESSIONAL NEGROES ENGAGED IN BOOT-LEGGING--
ERAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST TWO NEGRO UNDERTAK-
ERS AND ONE DOCTOR.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 6-Solu-
tion of the problem that faced Fed
Grated officials when a coffin filled
with whisky was opened here several
weeks ago was announced today.
1t was announced also that charges
have been filed in Shreveport against
a Negro embalmer, a Negro under
taker and Negro physician of Mon
roe, La, and that charges also have
been filed at Waco against the Louis
ianians and a Negro undertaken at
Waco. The coffin that was covered
filled with whiskey was labeled as
the corpse of Lula Crawford and
supposedly was accompanied by a
relative named Will Crawford, but
the latter was not to be found when
members OF the Fort Worth Police
Department took charge Of the whis-
key, Dec. 6. The coffin had been
sent from Monroe, La, Dec. s. De-
partmentment of Justice agents here
who worked on the case said that
the investigation revealed that a
shipment had been made month
earlier and was not discovered. When
the shipment that caused the revela-
ton Of the subterfuge came to light
the baggage agent at Dallas became
suspicious Of the extraordinary
weight of the corpse" when the
coffin was transferred there and he
notified the local police department

Justice went to Louisiana, Dec. 81
and worked on the case until the
charges were filed Jan. 3. His inves-
tigation disclosed, he said, that a
Negro appeared in Monroe in Nov
ember and on Nov. 81 coffin which
set for that it bore tthe body Of
Victor Hugo" was shipped to Waco,
accompanied by Negro. That coffin
went through without molestation.
The Negro appeared in Louisiana a
second time in December and the
coffin that was intercepted here was
prepared for shipment Dec. s. The
practice, he said, was for the Negro
undertakers of Monroe to go to the
Negro physician and get death
certificate for q fictitious parsonage.
The death certificate was carried to
the Bureau Of Vital Statistics, which
issued burial and transportation
permit. Then transportation for the
corpse" and the relative" was pur-
chased.

Paris, Jan. DIR. Robert X. Mo-
on, head of me Tuskegee Institute,
who recently returned from thou
sand mile motor trip on visit to
the American Negro troops in Alsace
Lorraine and elsewhere, has report
ed to the American peace delegation
that the condition OF these soldiers
is satisfactory.
DR.. Motion addressed many Negro
organizations, complimented the men
on the good showing they had made
on the firing line and urged them
to set an example Of industry and
thrift to their race upon their re-
turn houe.
Me cautioned the Negroes to ex-
ercise self-control in France and
leave such a reputation that the
allies would respect the American
Negro because of his character.
DR.. Motion came to France ar the
invitation of President Wilson and
Secretary of War Baker as adviser
to the American delegates oG Afri-

the conference protect the rights Of
the mistre stment. He declares they
are incapable Of self-governnlent as
yet, but that they should have the
protection of great powers against

Bravely denouncing not only the

Colored man at Sheffield, Ala, but
naming some of the participants and

justice, young Booker 7. Washing

He was serving as claim adjuster

employed nine thousand men.

erican mothers need have no fears
of the dangers and pitfalls lurking
to ensnare their sons in Paris" said
Brig. Gen. w. w. Harts. commanding
officer of the Paris area for the
United States army.
"The French capital is as moral
and safe for young man as any
community in the United States. In
fact, our records and statistics show
Nthat there is less danger than in
the average American community.
have been highly complimented on
the the excellent behavior Of Ameri-
can troops in Paris by high French
officials and can state that our
men merit the compliment.
"The cases Of intoxication, dis
orderly conduct and contraction of
venereal diseases among members
Of the American expeditionary forces
stationed in or passing through Paris
are fewer, in proportion, than in
camps or army posts and other cen
ters in the states.
There are always between 25,-
Paris and the number is increasing
steadily since the cessation of hos
tilities. But the men are well be-
haved, quiet, obey orders and regu-
lations laid down for their guidance
and have caused absolutely no
trouble for the French municipal
force. Our own police-the M. Ps
have little more to do than to act
as guides and information officers" :"
General Harts asserted that he was
heartily in favor of permitting as
many officers as possible to visit
French capital before they return
to the United States and said that
there is no doubt but that they will
continue to behave themselves as
we'll as they have in the past.
! "The impression has been too pre-
valent in the United States" said
! General Harts, THAT Paris, the plea
sure city of the world, is composed
entirely of Mont Matre resorts and
inhabited by questionable women. As
a matter of fact, that is entirely err
roneous and all those American
troops who have been in Paris are
going to do whole lot toward dis
pelling that idea when they return
to their homes in America.
Investigation shows that the great
preponderance of American officers
and men having day or so to pass
in Paris while in transit invariably
visit such well know places as Notre
Dame, the Louvre, the Madeleine
the Sacre Coeur, the Eiffel tower
the Bois de Bouigne, the Bastile mon
ument, the Tulleries gardens and
the Invalides.
'They are temperate in their habits
and this situation is largely eased
through the lack of whisky over here
and glass of beer, with little
wine at meals, is all they drink as
general thing"
General Harts has a highly organ
lied force of M. P's who were sta
toned all over the city, day and
night. They are stationed at rail
way stations and at intersections OF
| principal streets.
