at never rains but it pours." The
truth of this statement is attested by
the way in which new enterprises are
springing up among the colored people
of Phoenix. One of the latest of these
enterprises to be brought to our no.
tice is the Mary Frances Elite Shoppe,
an up-to-the-minute dressmaking, mil
linery and notions store that will be
opened soon by Madam o. G. Howard
at No II So. Fifth avenue. This es-
tablishment will be credit to the
community and all Phoenix is on tip
toes, breathlessly waiting for the
opening announcement.
After spending several months in
California as special designer for
Catherine Williams, the moving pic
ture star of the Golden State, also as
designer for Jennie Mcpherson, the
great magazine writer of national
fame, Madam Howard has decided to
open shop in Phoenix. She will
cater to discriminating women who
want something little above the or
binary. A complete staff of workers
will be employed and Madam Howard
will design and display the latest
models in millinery and exquisite
gowns. She asks that all ladies who
have not purchased their fall apparel
and winter costumes, wait for the
opening announcement of the Mary
Frances Elite Shoppe.
Madam Howard stated that she re-
ceived her inspiration from Madam
E. E. Hilbert, the noted designer of
Prescott, Ariz., and that it was to her
she gave all credit for her skill in the
art. On the evening of the opening
two superb gowns of the latest fall
creations, specially designed by
Madam Howard, will be on display.
1t will be a revelation to view these
latest ideas in fall fashions and all
ladies who take pride in their per-
sonaf adornment win want to see
these exquisite gowns.

BLACK MILLIONAIRE
LEAVES Big FORTUNE
TO HIS RELATIVES

West Columbia, Tex, Oct 7-Chas.
Brown, who died at his home here a
few days ago at the age of 80 years,
was probably the wealthiest, but one
of the most transformations, Negroes
in the world He is believed to have
left a fortune of considerably more
than a million, some estimates plac-
ing the figure at $2,000,000.
1t is known that Brown owned at
the time of his death about $500
acres of land, considerable part of
which is in the heart of the wonder
fully productive West Columbia oil
field, all under lease. He received an
enormous revenue from oil wells un-
der the one-eighth royalty clause
which is in all the lease contracts.
He was also a successful farmer dur
ing his long life. He leaves a family
of several children and number of
grandchildren. Although the aged
Negro did not set store by reckless
display and expenditure of money, he
was liberal in providing for his chill
dren.
Browns physical and mental condi-
ton was vigorous up to few days
before he died. He made no change
in his manner of living when fortune
came to him. He was familiar fig
ure on the streets of West Columbia
and surrounding country. Frequently
he was seen driving along the roads
and streets in farm wagon. AL
though his children rode in high
priced automobiles, their father was
content to follow the even tenor of
his old life. He was always held in

COLORED WOMEN

New Orleans, La, Oct 7-Practi-
cally no Negro women have attempt.

appeared at the registration office
here but were promptly challenged by
watchers and less than. dozen reg

have registered in New Orleans, and
approximately 200 have registered in
the county parishes of the state.
Twenty-Five registration clerks were
turned away from the women's regis.
tration office in Washington Artillery
Hall to make room for women clerks,
whose appointment was demanded by
women suffrage leaders of the city
and state.
When plans were first made to reg
lister women suffrage leaders ap-
preached Registrar William A. Bell to
have women represented among the
clerks. Registrar Bell asked that the
women wait until next year, as many
of his clerks were familiar with the
work and he felt it would hinder the
speed of registration if inexperienced
women were put in to handle the
blanks.

SLUMP in PRICES
Caught DEALERS
in SUGAR UNAWARE
Especial to the Tribune)

New York, Oct. IAN involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed in
United States District Court last
week against A. R. O'Neill, Inc, sugar
brokers of 68 William street. The liza
bilities alleged in the petition are
$3,600,000, against which are assets
fixed at $2,90O,OOO. The petitioning
creditors are Marcelino Garcia, Died
rich Scheffer and Oscar Napoles, who
allege that they hold claims aggregat-
ing approximately $636,OOO. Garcia's
claim consists of an unpaid balance
of $4,000 for goods sold and delivered,
while the other two petitioners, Schef-
fer and Napoles, claim drafts of $685.
200 and 1892, 900, respectively.
The assets are said to consist of
raw and refined sugar, sugar con-
tracts, accounts receivable, furniture
and fixtures, securities, cash, etc. The
petition alleges that O'Neill has con-
tracts for the purchase of over 49,
100000 pounds of raw sugar, and at
the same time hold contracts for the
sale of large amounts of the commod-
ity. The reason for the failure, ac-
cording to Rabenold & Scribner, at
torneys for the petitioning creditors,
is the failure of the company to dis
pose of its stock of sugar, purchased
at high prices. before the break in the
sugar market few weeks ago.

Is MILLION A DAY
IS RUNNING COST
OF GOVERN N ENT
(specia. to the Tribunel

Washington, Oct. with prices
generally receding and even the high
cost of living checked, statesmen and
sober-thinking officials in Washington
are turning inquisitively to the high
cost of government in the United
States
1t is costing Uncle Sam something
like eight times as much to run his
establishment now as it did in 1914,
before the European war began its
devastation, and there is no further
relief in sight in liquidating war costs
at least for a year.
All appropriations for the current
year have been made. They carry up
to June 30 next and they aggregate
nearly $5,OOO,OOO,O O,OOO-s4,S59, ,S9O,S7 to
be exact.
1t is costing an average of better
than $15,0OO,000 a working day to run
the government now, as compared
with but a trifle more than $2,O0O,0O0
day back in 1914, when the country
was "hollering" over billion-dollar
Congresses and the Democrats were
promising economy.
In fact, on last Thursday the daily
statement of the treasury shows dis
bursements fer the single day of $16,-
796;056. This sum covered only the

SMALL RESPONSE
MADE DEMOCRATIC
CALL FOR FINANCE
Lack of Money Regarded as Explana.
ton Of "SIush Fund" Charges
Against G. o. p.
Especial to the Tribune)

Washington, Oct. money, the
oil which might help the machinery
of the Democratic national committee
to run more smoothly in its efforts to
elect Cox to the Presidency, is sadly
lacking. it has been learned here. In
this fact, it is believed, is the under
lying explanation of the Democratic
nominees repeated oratorical flights
higher and higher into the millions, he
says, he thinks his political foes are
raising with which to beat him.
Since the call first went out for
funds there has been a lamentable
lack of response from those usually
prompt and generous in their gifts
to the Democratic cause. Large gifts
have been conspicuously absent, and
the Democratic committee, with no
limit set on individual contributions,
had counted most largely on the poll
tical preferment in the event of the
election of Cox and who have opened
their purses easily in the past.
The reason for this scarcity of con-
tributions is generally laid by few
frank Democrats at the door of a
general lack of confidence in the
chance Gov. Cox stands in the Novem-
Ter elections. It is the belief of many
politicians here of both parties that
the original charges" by Cox that
the Republicans were raising a fund
of $15,O0O,OO0 with which to buy" the
election were inspired by sadly de-
pleted Democratic treasury.
1t was hoped, it was said here, that
this might inspire Democrats to
come across" a little more literally.
This would seem to be confirmed by
the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Cox's running mate, burst forth with
the same !, thing at the same time,
varying only from the Cox statement
in that he made the amount of the
"slush fund.- just twice as much as
did Cox, later raising the figure to
s3OOOO,OOO
The first quotation of alleged fig
ures by Cox failing, to have the de-
sired effect in due time, the governor,
in somewhat of panic, renewed his
unsubstantiated charges, but this time
made the figure $3,000,O0O.
The skillful engineering of the Will
son contribution to the Cox campaign
fund with Chairman George White of
the Democratic national committee
volunteering the statement that the
contribution was not only welcome,
but sadly needed, is understood here
as further proof of the inspiration of
the original Cox statement about
money
1t is known here that attaches of
the Democratic national committee
have been dropped from time to- time,
and some of these men now in Wash
ington have ascribed it to lack of
funds with which to pay them.
