RESOLUTIONS OFFERED BY THE
WORKERS IN THE REPUBLICAN
CAMPAIGN TO THEIR CHAIR
MAN MYRTLE r. COOK.

Be 1t Resolved: That we, co-work-
ers in the Republican campaign. ex-
tend to Mrs. Myrtle Cook, our chair
man, our hearty thanks for the unbi-
ased spirit she has shown to all. When
God looked down the ages and con-
ceived a woman fit to be the moth
er of Christ, He chose a woman
Of noble, pure and unselfish quail
tiles; and when the County Com
mittee put forth every effert to
secure a chairman for the Negro
Women's Division, they found Mrs.
Cook with the same spirit and quail
tiles characteristic in the mother of
Christ. Some may have conceived the
idea that they could have accomplish
ed greater work but, to us who know,
the results have been satisfactory.
Be 1t Resolved: That we extend to
to the County COMMITTEE through their
chairman, Mrs. Mosher, our heart felt
thanks for their wise selection; and
Ne 1t Further Resolved: That we ex-
tend to Mrs. Cook many, many thanks
for all she has done and that Gods
OACoolI6 may LlOlS lullg OhALC hpOh
her in the future than in the past. And
with these words of the great poet so
fully describing her work we leave
you:
Not to the Wise Men only
With their gifts of myrrh and gold,
Not to the shepherds lonely
Is confined the quest of old.
But each in his heart may find Him,
Who enters on earnest quest;
And the gift as of old we may bring
Him,
Is simply-Our Very Best"
Many thanks also to our very eff
cient secretary, Mrs. Anna Roberts,
and the same blessings for both.
Be 1t Resolved: That a copy of
these resolutions be given the General
Committee, a copy to Mrs. Cook, and
a copy to the organization that is to
be completed.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Ona B. Wilson, 9th Ward Capt.
Mrs. Miley G.. Wallace, 18th Ward.
Miss Lillian Tooley, Sth Ward.

ILL" ARTHu RSTlLL CARRIES A
KNOCK OUT PUNCH.

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 24.-Wear-
ing his universally known golden
smile, Jack Johnson, former worlds
heavyweight champion today demon
strated to 5000 fellow prisoners in
the federal penitentiary here and
$500 boxing JAMS that he still is at
least a shade of his former self when
he knocked out Frank Owens, Chi.
cage heavyweight in the sixth round
of a scheduled six-round bout. Owens,
who claims to hold a referees deci-
into submission by lii Arthur" who
worked a short left hook on his OPP
ponent almost numerically. Johnson
entered the ring weighing 215 pounds,
Owess was ten younds heavier. John
son is AZ years old.
The masterful cunning of the for
mer champion, which made him fam
Gus several years ago, remains visible.
Owens did not land a telling blow af-
ter the first round when he caused
Johnson to bleed from the mouth by
a right uppercut.
Johnson stepped about the ring hit
ting his opponent at will and lodging
whenever the latter made N attempt
to hit him. The former champion
threw caution to the winds in the
first round when Owens landed three
hard blows. Johnson retaliated, blow
for blow, and threw in several for
good measure. The blows did not
seem to tell on rugged owens, who
came back for more each time.
Johnson's hard punches began to
take effect in the second round.
Owens went down for the count of
eight three times in the third. He
regained his stamina in the fourth
round. but in the fifth the unending
rain of blows showered on his face
and body, sent him down time and
again. Owens graced the floor no
less than seven times during the
round, each time remaining down a
little longer than necessary in hope
of a short rest that he might weather
the inevitable storm.
Groggy, with both eyes nearly
closed, Owens staggered from his
corner for the final round. He walk
ed clear across the ring where John
son waited for him. The ~unrelentless
shower of punches was renewed
Owens went to the floor where he
remained for the count of nine. Nc
sooner was he on his feet than he
was floored again, this time for the
count of seven. He arose almost help
less for Johnson to finish the bout
with a crashing left smash to the
jaw. Owens was out for several min
utes. The smile still remained on
Johnson's face. His mouth had quit
bleeding.
johnson then called for Topeka
Jack Johnson, whom he spared with
through four rounds. The former
champion toyed with the Kansas Ne
gro without exerting himself.
Four other bouts were on the pro
gram, which was the annual Thanks
giving entertainment for the inmates
of the federal prison. Mike Regan Of
Leavenworth refereed all bouts.

WANT SPECIAL SESSION OF
 CONGRESS
For Purpose of Taking Some Action to Re-
 lieve Paper Crisis

* WASHINGTON-It has 5 been learned here that 5 there is a strong senti- j. ment among many of the j. leading newspaper men # of the country in favor of 5. requesting President # Wilson to call a special
 $ session of Congress for j. no other purpose than to * pass upon the recommen- s. dations of the Senate j. Committee Investigating * the print paper situation.
 j. The publishers urge that
 j. there have been many * special sessions of Con-
 * gress called for far less # vital matters than the # present print tpaper situa- * tion.
 # Courtland Smith, pres. s ident of the American
 * Press Association, in an j. interview on this subject # said:
 # "The publishers should
 remember that no other # business interests ever # hesitate a moment to ask # for special legislation or # a special session of con- # gress, if they find them-
 + selves in a position that # threatens their exist j. ence. The publishers # have a commodity that # is vital to the welfare of # this country. The per. # manent or temporary $ suspension of newspa-
 j. pers would be a national # calamity"
 # The Senate Sub-com- # mittee of Manufacturers $ adopted recommenda- # tions for the relief of # publishers. This commit * tee recommended that # the Department of Jus ::+ tice institute proceedings E under the Sherman and j. Clayton Acts against g. print paper manufac-
 * lures. The paper manu- * facturers were charged j. by the committee with * unjust, illegal and dis. B criminatory practices" j. The present prices for . j. paper were held by the * committee to be "excess- % i've and unwarranted." * The hurried adjourn j. ment of Congress pre- j. vented these recommen- * dations from being car- * ried out. In other words % the legislators seemed $ more interested in get # ting out of Washington % than in continuing in * session for an extra day * or two to give the pub- E fishers relief from an in- # tolerable situation. l.
