We went up on the passenger ele-

man in room 919. We went back
to the elevator and rang the bell. The
Negro running the elevator wouldn't
stop for us and we kept ringing the
bell.
"They kept on passing up until

there and quit ringing that bell.' We
told him we came up that way and

HEAD BELL MAN OF THE
ADOLPHUS HOTEL KILLED
Death Mystery For Forty-eight
Hours. White Boy Confesses to
The Staying

Edward Garland, the we'll known
head bell man of the Adolphus hotel
was murdered last Saturday night
on the ninth floor of the hotel.
Garland was found lying on the
floor face down near the entrance
to the elevator hail. A knife wound
in the center of the breast resulted
in the death.
Garland was 20 years of age, and
married. He had gone to the ninth
floor few minutes before he was
discovered in a dying condition by
Night Watchman Percy Olmstead in
response to the call of one of the
elevator boys that two small white
boys were ringing the elevator bell.
olmstead stated that he found Gar
land lying on his face to pool. of
blood. So far as the police were
able to learn, Garland never spoke
a word to any one after he was
heard demonstrating with the two
white boys. who appeared to be
about II years of age.
No clue to the identity of the two
boys was discovered and nothing at
that time was learned as to where
they went after they were seen talk
ing to Garland at the elevator door.
Mamie Harbert, elevator operator.
described them as being dressed in
khaki clothes with aviator head
guards.
Harbert stated to the police that
he had taken Garland to the ninth
floor in his elevator when the boys
persisted in ringing the elevator
bell He stated that when Garland
stepped from the elevator he heard
Garland saying to the boys: u will
show you the service elevator"
The party or parties who killed
Garland left no clue behind. The
knife with which the deed was COM
mitted has not been located. Several
theories have been advanced, but
none of them have led to any def
mite information.
The boys told Harbert that they
had come to the ninth floor to de-
liver a package The records of the
hotel do not show where any pack
ages have been delivered to the floor

Chicago, Ill, Jan 1.-The final sur
vey for 1919. as arranged by The AS
sociated Negro Press, discloses the
fact that the year was the greatest
in history in material achievements
and economic progress. This is
true despite the fact that race ten
sion has been at its highest state
and the many outbursts of feeling
in various sections of the country.
These outbursts, though ever de-
plorable, have served to focus the
attention of the nation, in a serious
way on matters that have either been
ignored, regarded with indifference
or ridiculed by the majority of whites.
The year has been remarkable
for the establishment of large bus
mess enterprises of a cooperative
nature in northern cities. Never
has there been such a showing in
this respect, the investments been
so large. and the cooperation of the
people more enthusiastic. Despite
the fact that there have been some
failures, because of unsound bus
mess methods, the confidence of the
people has not been shaken, and they
are as ready with their dollars as
ever, accepting the failures with
amazing philosophy. Another feature
of the economic progress has been
the class of business enterprises es-
tablished The people have entered
new fields of activity, long ignored
and are meeting with success. Among
them are such enterprises as depart
ment stores, shoe. stores, groceries
meat markets, insurance, banking
manufacturing and transportation.
Real estate investments and build
ing construction for and among Col.
ored people for the entire country
approaches $l00O0O0,000. according tc
the best information. This itself is
remarkable.
Agencies for UDlift
The national agencies for uplift
among the Colored people of the
United States have increased in finan-
cial strength and influence more than
ever before. Among the strongest
of these agencies are the following
Churches. Schools, The National
Urban League, The National Negro
Business League, The National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
cred People, Young Mems Christian
Association, Young Women's Chris
tian Association, War Community
Work National Equal Rights League
The Associated Negro Press, The
National Negro Press Association
The Lincoln League. These organi-
cations cover every phase of the
problems of the entire group and
their work is carried on with COM
mendable efficiency and ever increas-
ing support of the people at large
The work of these various organiza-
tions attracts not only the people oil
the group. but for 1919 especially
the leading forces among the whites
have given serious consideration tc
their progress, and helpful cooper

NEGRO WOMAN TO Be
APPOINTED IN MASS

Boston, Mass, Jan. lin the
State of Massachusetts, women were
first permitted to enter the three
great professions of medicine, law and
the ministry, as well as many other
lines of professional and business
life
Among the young business and
professional women of Boston, and
New England who have come to the
front is Miss Vitcorial Blackwell,
stenographer and advertising spec
ialist, who has had the honor to be
appointed a notary public by Cover
nor Calvin Coolidge.
Miss Blackwell, as far as known,
is the first young woman of the Ne
gro race to receive such an appoint
ment in the Commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts. She is a graduate of the
Centre High School, '03, Norwalk,
Conn, and Bryant and Stratton Com
mercial College, 'O6. Boston. Mass.
Miss Blackwell, whose education
was acquired wholly by personal
effort, private study and contact with
the business world, stands today in
the forefront of representative Col
ored American women because she
has by energy and clear-sighted busl-
ness capacity succeeded in building
up large and profitable business
in the field of stenography and type
writing among many of the best
firms in Greater Boston. She merits
special commendation for her sue
cess in a field where she is the first
OF her race in Boston to establish
public service and win recognition
by strict attention 10 the fundamental
principles which constitute a sound
business.
