w. E. MoLLISoN, WELL KNOWN
LAWYER, MAKES STATEMENT
TO CORRECT SOME MIsREPRE-
SENTATIONS.

A representative of The Broad AK
called on Mr.. ". E. Mollison at his
Office in the Firmenich Building, 1S4
W. Washington St., the first of this
week to find outwhathis views were on
the quotation made of his remarks
some time ago in the Tribune on the
riot question. We found him unusually
busy, having just tried a riot case
one of the Sunday bathing beach crop.
He said he had not had time to weigh
the effect upon his business of the
threats made by some of the thought
less and i'll hammered. He showed US
resolutions passed by the ministers
counseling in terms much stronger
than those used by him. But on this
subject he did not wish to be mis-
under stood. He has as his motto one
of the beautitudes: blessed are the
peacemakers." He said he had saved
hundreds of lives and no end of prop
erty from the hands of rage and hate
in the years in which he has been a
factor in public affairs. He said he
had often been denounced by people
who finally came round to bless and
thank him. He told of his effort to
set himself right in the matter of
the interview, but as an experienced
newspaper man knew the difficulty of
doing some things with a newspaper.
On the subject of being afraid of
colored people he hooted at the idea.
To use his own words: Il have done
nothing to either the white or col
ored people to cause either race to
want to harm me and so ! fear nei-

PRESIDENT OF THE ILLINOIS TRUST AND SAVINGS
BANK. WHO IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FINANClEKS
IN THE UNITED STATES.

that the Colored men and women are
eng rapidly re-employed at the Stock
Yards and at other places in the city
and expressed the hope that they will
continue to save some of their earn
ings which they should invest in real
estate and in high grade stocks and
bonds which will enable them to en-
10Y their share of the great tidal wave
of prosperity which will to continue to
roll all over this country for many
years &c come.
After conversing with him for full
ly fifteen minutes he extend his hand
to US and to Rev. Braddan and said:
'Mr. Taylor, any time that you want
any information on public affairs,
come in and see me-"
1t is safe to state that Mr.. Mitchell
handles more money belonging to Col
ored people than any other, ten bank
ers in this city, for the Colored people
have more than five million dollars on
deposit in the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings Bank.
1t is a pleasure to state that all the
time that Rev. W. S. Braddan was in
France with the "Old Eighth Regi-
ment" that Mrs. Braddan every week
wendell her to the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank, and drew her 33 dol
lars allowance whether it had arrived
or not which simply indicates that
the head officials of the bank want
to be more than fair in their dealings
with worthy Colored people.
The Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
and the Merchants Loan and Trust
Co. are being merged into one Great
banking institution it will take about
two years to fully complete the deal
and they will occupy a new building
to be constructed which will extend
from La Sale St. and Jackson Blvd.
to Clark st. and Jackson Blvd
The capital stock of the CONSOLE
dated bank will be ten million dollars
with undivided profits or dividends
amounting to between so and 40 mil
lion dollars, as some of the best and
wealthiest business men in this city
are the directors in the consolidated
banks, more than one hundred and
fifty million dollars would have to
fade away before there would be the
remOtest chance of the thousands of
depositors losing one dollar of their
money for it will be one of the great
est financial institutions in the world.

Wednesday morning at IL o'clock
the writer rushed into the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank building to
keep an appointment at that hour
with its president, Hon. John ]. Mitch
ell. who is one of the greatest and
most successful inanciers in this coun
try, as he had expressed a desire the
day before to have an interview with
US at that hour.
As we entered the bank Rev. w.
S. Braddan, pastor of Berean Baptist
church aRd ex-chaplain Of the old
sth regiment of Illinois, was convers-
ing with Mr.. F. T. Haskell, one of
the vice presidents of the bank, who
greets all of its thousands of custom
ers with a pleasant hand and a glad
hand shake and after being introduced
to him by Rev. Braddan, Mr.. c. F. Mon
ohan the confidential man of Mr.. Mitch
ell. accompanied Us and Rev. Brad
dan, to the private Office of the presi-
dent on the second floor and a few
minutes after entering it, Mr.. Mitch
ell walked in and cordially greeting
both of US with a hearty handshake,
at the same time requesting us 10 be
seated.
Drawing up a chair right in front
of US so that he could look US right
square in the eye during the inter
view.
Among other things, Mr.. Mitchell
said that he was very glad to learn
that everything was settling down
among the races on the south side,
that white men who committed the
crimes against the Colored people
should be punished to the fullest ex-
tent of the law; that as the Colored
people did not kill themselves that
they must have been killed by the
lawless element of the white race.
Mr.. Mitchell further stated that
once more he desired to go on rec
ord as being friendly disposed towards
decent, respectable and law abiding
Colored people; that the best white
citizens and the best Colored people
must stand shoulder to shoulder on
the side of law and order, that with
out law and order we would be in a
state of anarchy and with such a state
of affairs confronting US no persons
life or property would be safe in
Chicago.
Mr.. Mitchell was pleased to learn
