Not satisfied with the mere taking

Lewis attempted to provoke an ar

furiate Lewis who proceeded to mau
the colored man with his fists, revil-
ing him all the time.
Lewis then drew his revolver ant
shot the colored brakeman, emptyine
all the chambers of his revolver.
Feeling is running high and many
white persons are incensed at th'
wanton killing of an innocent mar

had offered no resistance. Up to th'

Cook County Bar AssqQ:-:
ciation Has Instana-
ton and Banquet.

On Friday evening at eight o'clock
in the Gold Room of the Royal Gar
dens, The Cook County Bar Associa-
ton had installation of officers, fol
lowed by banquet. The honored
guests of the evening were Judge
Joseph 3. David of the Superior
Court and Judge Bernard P. Barassa
of the Municipal Court.
Atty. Jerry M. Brumfield. Asst.
City Atty introduced Judge David.
Many recall that it was Judge David
who stood up in The American Bar
Association and registered protest
against the resolution introduced in
that Law body which required all
applicants to send their photographs
with application. That measure be-
ing intended for the purpose of keep
ing out colored men.
Judge David stated that he appre-
ciated the feelings of the colored
people as he was member of a per-
secuted race also. He stated that
prejudice was a heritage of Amer
lean children. He emphatically stood
for fair play for all and that his ad-
vice was that if the colored people
wanted all of their privileges that
| they should bend every energy in the
fight for them. He urged the Cook
County Bar Association to let the
world know that body would fight
unstintingly for these right by legal
procedure. His attitude in court
has proven his fairness on the bench
and through him riot victim of oul
group will receive damages.
Atty. Benjamin Pollard introduced
Judge Barassa. Judge Barassa statec
that he was always for the under
dog" and his record during the rio
bears out this statement, He com
plimented the Cook County Ba'
Assn for their activities during tn,
riot. 1t was due to Judge Barassi
that the scotch was put in the Sadle1
! Law and thus the police were mo-
able to go into the homes of the
coored people in search of arms.
Cook County Bar Association wa
founded seven years. ago by Atty
Richard T.. Westbrooks, who recent.
made such splendid showing as al
independent candidate for alderman
in the last election.

Police Arrest White Girl
Married To Mexican.

Dodge City, kans., March s.
Francis Winiger, claiming shea was

can known as Little Mexico was ar
rested today by officers, upon the
report that there were several white
girls living with Mexieans in the

The white woman says she is legal
ly married and says. 81 don't care
if he has brown sin, he has "a white
heart She is, however. being held,
until her statement that she is mar
ried has been proven.
1t seems indeed strange that man
continues to make and tries to en-
force laws contrary to the laws of
nature. Such laws will always be
broken. The law of opposite attrac-
ton was in existence before man was
sufficiently intelligent to conceive of
a law. 1t is as old as the laws of
gravitation. Man can never change
it, he might as well attempt to make
laws contradicting the force of grayi-
taaion he would suceeed about as F-ea.
