CHICAGOS SPECIAL GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT ON WORK COMPLETED
TO START DEPARTMENT
STORE IN BALTIMORE
(By Associated Negro Press.)

Baltimore, Md, Sept. A. 4.-Subscrip-
tions are being taken among Negroes
here to establish a department store,
which is to be operated exclusively by
and for members of the race. At a
meeting held at the Metropolitan At
rican Methodist Episcopal Church it
was announced that more than $4,000
had been subscribed.
The movement is partly due to a
speech recently made here by Col.
Charles Young, of the United States
Army a Negro, in which he urged
Negroes to own and operate their own
business institutions of all kinds. Such
a plan previously had been discussed
among Negro leaders here, but Col.
Young's speech caused it to bear fruit.
Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Met
ropolitan Church, is in charge of the
taking of subscriptions. He said that
it would not be possible to start the
proposed store with less than $4,000.
1t would be operated on the coop
erative plan so that the customers
would not only deal with members of
their race, but also would get lower
prices. No person will be allowed to
hold more than 500 worth of stock in
the concern. If the store proves a
success the next logical move will be
to establish Negro bank, Shaw said.
Ee believes that such bank, with
capital of at least $250,000, can be es-
tablished

CHARGES WRONG
SYSTEM IN j. 5.
COURT MART|ALS
(By Associated Negro Press. J

Washington, D. c., Sept. 4.-Adop-
tion of some plan which would permit
of modification of the findings of
courts-martial when it was shown that
errors of trial had been made was
urged before a Senate Military sub
committee today by Samuel T. An
sell, who recently resigned from the
army.
Illustrating his contention that the
present system is wrong, Ansell called
attention to the execution Of Negro
soldiers at San Antonio, Texas, re-
Gently before the papers in the case
had been sent to the office of the
Judge Advocate General. 1t was
deemed sufficient, he said, that the
commanding general of the depart
ment in which the crime was commit
ted had approved the findings of the
court.
Mr., Ansell indorsed the Chamber
lain bill for revision of the military
justice system, on which the commit
tee is holding hearings, and said that
had some better system existed during
the war some cases of "gross injus-
tice" would have been obviated.

SHOE DRUMMER TRAV-
ELS MILLION MILES
WITHOUT ACCIDENT

Portland Oregon: Travelling
100000 miles in so years as shoe
drummer and never having an acci-
dent is the record of R. ]. Prince, who
is at the Multnomah. Since he started
on the road in Maine in 1869 he has
averaged more than 10000 miles a
year, or equivalent to a trip around
he world each twelve months. Mr..
Prince has seen the sleeping car de-
velop from a crude affair to the pal
ace of today and he declares there was
less kicking in the old days than now.
On Sept. 2 he will celebrate his gol-
den jubilee as a travelling salesman,
and invitations have been issued to
400 travelling men in the territory to
attend a banquet to be held at the
Multnomah. Speaking of shop Mr..
Prince asserts that quality and prices
of shoes now are better than they
were in 1873 and people have greater
variety Of widths; leather is treated
so it no longer has to be CREASED to
keep soft. AS to the price of leather,
it was A0c a pound in January, and is
now S5c, so there isn't much hope of
getting cheap shoes with the world
demanding leather.

schild Francis, a West Indian and
member of the st. Thomas Virgin

dience of about 250 persons last night

the islands and migrated to this coun-
try in the last few years.
Mr. Francis said that he had re-
Gently appeared before the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate

ised that bill would be introduced
providing that three Senators and
three members Of the House of Repre-
sentatives should be sent to investi-
gate conditions in the islands
MIR. Francis said the inhabitants
wanted reorganization of their ju-
iciary and school systems after the
American plan.

Chicago, H., Sept. 4.-With cen
sure for the part politics plays in the
police department and the Indictment
of five white men, one of them a po-
liceman, the special grand jury on the
recent race riots reported on its work
late this afternoon.
Two of the men indicted-Frank
Biga and Joseph Carka-are charged
with the murder Of Negroes. Biga
is accused of killing Robert Williams
at State and Van Buren streets, and
Carka with the death of william Do
zier in the stock yards.
julius Beneventui, 1901 Federal
street, saloon keeper, and Cash Har-
ris, are accused of conspiracy to bribe
and Policeman Edward Mitchell of
bribery in connection with the attempt
to hush up riot case.
The political influence of hoodlums
and loafers in the black belt region,
which saved lawbreakers from proper
punishment, was blamed for the recent
race riots by the jury which rendered
its report to Judge Kavanah. The re-
port also criticised the police force for
failure to apprehend criminals and the
judiciary for failure to punish offend
ers brought before them.
AT the request of the Judge the
special jurors will continue in session
indefinitely. The court asked them
to continue to serve until all the
cases pending are disposed of because
they were the only body of men who
were familiar with the situation.

OFFICERS SAVE NEGRO
FROM ANGRY MOB,

Persistent persuasion and never
failing supply of good humor are as
signed as reasons for the safety from
death of Robert Grigsby, a negro, II
or 1S years old who was placed in the
Dallas County Jail early last night,
after two deputy citizens had kept
the negro from the hands Of a mob
variously estimated at between 200
and 500 persons, at Wilmer, Is miles
south of Dallas, yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. Deputy Sheriffs Pat
Richards and Allen Scale, accom-
panied by Deputy Constable Will Green
of Wilmer and }. c. Bramlett, arrived
in Dallas after going through an ex-
perienca they described as lacking but
the stricking of match to set off sit
uation already threatening to their
own lives as well as the negro they
were attempting to save from a vo-
lent death at the hands of mob.
When they arrived at the jail the
Negroes neck was helf encircled with
a pnk-tinged ring the size of half
inch rope from which the black skin
had been removed in two abortive at
tempts to hand the Negro and an at
temnt to drag him behind an auto
mobile. His body also was covered
with abrasions that had been inflicted
with a rope and club.
Negro Makes Statement.
In a siged statement made befoore
District Attorney ]. Willis Piersoon
last night the negro admitted all of
the allegations made by the father of
two little girls who figured in the in
cident that brought on the attempt at
violence. Wilder stories were in cir
culation among the great crowd of
people that had gathered, but they
were minimized by some of the calmer
men who were present but took less
active part in the proceedings, accord
ing to the officers.
According to the story of the girls
father, which was borne out by Grigs-
bv's signed statement, he was proceed
ing along the Seagoville- Wilmer road
yesterday about noon when he met

POLICE DEPARTMENT
IN FOR A SHAKEUP
Lack of Proper Living Conditions
Given as Cause for HOstilitieS.
Advocate Elimination of Politics
From Police Department

The cause of the recent riots, ac-
cording to the report submitted by
the jury, was the steady importation
Of colored labor from the South with
out making any preparation to receive
it.
The lack of proper living quarters
and the crowding of the black belt.
created hostility between the whites
and the blacks in the district that
only needed a spark to start bitter
race war, the jurors said. This spark
was furnished by the killing of the
Williams boy, Negro, at the Twen-
ty-ninth street beach.
The remedy suggested by the jurors
to prevent a repetition of the riots is
the providing of a decent section of
the city for the Negro populace and
furnishing proper police protection in
that section
If such a district was provided the
Negroes would willingly segregate
themselves there and would not min
gle with the white race, according to
the opinion of the jurors.
"The police department is in need
of a thorough cleaning" the report
continues. "All officers who heed
the command of politicians or who ca
ter to the cheap political bosses of the
worst districts of the city, should be
dismissed Immediately. There should
be 900 new men added to the force
as soon as possible, and all old men
who are no longer fit for service
SHOULD be put on the pension roll.
Since the riot grand jury was sworn
in it has heard 1877 cases and returned
true bills.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 4.-Wesley Me-
mortal Hospital, owned by the Geor-
giA. Methodist Conference, and To-
Gated at 129 Courtland street, has
been sold and new hospital to cost
about $500,000 will be erected on the
grounds of Emory University within
the next year, according to informa-
tion obtained from authentic sources.
Neither Bishop w. Chandler nor
Walker White, president of the hos
pital, would discuss the reported sale
and the plans for the erection of the
new institution, but it was definitely
stated by others in close touch with
Methodist activities that the facts are
as stated.
The present hospital, it is said, has
been sold to AL Herdon, well known
proprietor of a Negro barber shop,
and one of the wealthiest Negroes in
Atlanta, and Henan Perry, president
of the Standard Life Insurance Com
pany, with headquarters in Auburn
avenue.
