Storming Chicago Church
Three Negroes Are Saved

Sporadic Race Outbreaks

CHICAGO, Sept. Fl. - One small
priest with smile and the word "sanc-

squads of police last night in pre-
venting the threatened lynching Of
three negroes who took refuge in his
church. The negroes were wanted for
the murder of a white man, Thomas
B. Barrett, in a street corner argu-
ment
The priest is Father Thomas Burke,
pastor of St. Gabriels Church, in the
stockyards neighborhood. When he
reached the church a mob estimated
to number nearly 5000 was packed
about the doors and hundreds more
had already entered in the search for
the negroes. Forcing his way in, the
priest shouted:
What is this sacrilege? Who are
the rowdies that storm the house OF
God?"
Some one explained.
That makes no difference" the
priest cried. This place is sanctuary.

to leave Immediately and quietly"
Disturbers Leave Church
The crowd broke and filed out. The
last man had left when q police riot
squad arrived. Taking the police in
side, Father Burke called to the hid
den negroes to come out.
There was stir and one of the men
stepped out from confessional. A
pile of cassocks in robing room

peared from behind the altar rail. One
knelt and kissed the priests hand just
before the police spirited them out a
side entrance.
With the negroes safely away, Father
Burke, smiling, went out to address
the mob.
Go home. Re peaceablc and happy.
There's too much trouble in the world
right now. Don't start more" was his
advice.

Barrett was standing on a street cor
ner when the three negroes approached.
He is said to have made some remarks.
An argument resulted. There was a
flash Of knife and the white mans
head was nearly severed from his body.
The negroes fed. They were pursued
by gang of men, who shouted, "I.ynch
them! They attacked white woman"
This misunderstanding during the cx-
citement caused the mob to grow
Disorders Are Checked

Bedtime Stories
Buster Bear Turns Spy
BY Thornton w. Burgess
DON'T judge another By his size
Or you may get great surprise.
Buster Bear is big and he looks as if

Buster Bear is big and he looks as if
he must be very clumsy. But that is
one of the ways in which Buster often
fools people. The fact is Buster can
move very quickly indeed. He can run
fast and he can strike swiftly with
those big paws of his. When Buster
was awakened from his nap and pleas
ant dreams by sharp little pains all
over him he wasted no time in getting
away from that particular place.
Just as soon as he had his eyes fairly
opened he knew what those sharp little
pains were from. You see he knew all
about Busy Bee and her sister and the
sharp little lances with which they
fight. So Buster took to his heels. II
was the very wisest thing to do. He
plunged into the bushes where they
were thickest, for that was the easiest
and quickest way to get rid OF his tor
mentors.
Now you wouldn't have supposed that
Buster would grin with ell those places
smarting all over him, but that is what
he did do. Have you guessed why 7?
q sharp reminder of something pleas
ant; something he hadn't thought of
for long time; something Of which
he is very fond.
Honey" exclaimed Buster as he
ran. Honey" He smacked his lips.
II wonder why / haven't thought of it
before. My goodness, how those Bees did
sting! But l am very much obliged to
them for reminding me of honey.
Where there are Bees there must be
honey. wish I had some this very
minute. I've got to have some. That is
all there is about tive got to have
some. Wow, how those stings smart.
I must get some mud and then I'll do a
little spying. That is just what III do.
I'll make those Bees pay for all those
stings."
Buster had had experience with
stings, much experience. He knew
just what to do. He ran straight to a
certain damp place in the Old Pasture
and with his big claws dug out mud.
This he rubbed on the smarting spots
and presently they smarted less. The
damp mud was cooling and soothing.
Then with broader grin than ever
Buster Bear turned back toward the
very place where he had been stung,
But this time he didn't run. No, sir;
he didn't run. He walked as softly, as
quietly as only he can. AS he drew near
that open spot where he had found
that fine bed Of grass and late flowers
he moved slowly and still more slowly.
At last he reached the edge of the
bushes. Peeping out. he looked eagerly
this way and that way. He could hear

a humming sound, and a look of great
satisfaction swept ACROSS his face

a humming sound, and look of great
satisfaction swept across his face.
They're here" muttcred Buster
Bear. "They're here. And they are get
ting over their anger. don't know
what they picked on me for when |
wasn't bothering them, but they did,
and they were real mad about it. Now
they think they have driven me away
end they will soon get to work. BUSY
Bee never wastes time. All her sisters
are just like her. Ha! There is Busy
Bee now a work on a flower over there.
III just keep my eyes on her to see in
which direction she goes"
So Buster Bear kept his eyes on
Busy Bee. He watched her Ay to an
other flower and then to third. When
she left that one she lew high and
then c;rcled a few times, then darted
away. Buster Bear rubbed his ewes,
blinked, rubbed his eyes again and
sighed. "f didn't see in which direc-
tion she went" he muttered.~ "lil have
to try again"
So Buster fixed his eyes on another
Bee until she, too, circled high and
disappeared. Buster had no better luck
than before. She was SO very small
and she darted away so swiftly that he
hadn't the least idea which way she
went. Once more he sighed, then turned
to watch another Bee. So the morning
slipped away with Buster Bear spying
on Busy Bee and her sisters, and he
was no nearer than before to that
honey.

Street at q. m. yesterday gravely dis
cussing the world in general and their
own problem in particular. Along
came Patrolman Mclaughlin.
What yuh doin', boys?" he asked.
"Seen' New York." they told him.
They told him further that they lived
in Charlestown, Mass, had run away
from home and thought they'd stay
here long enough to look the old town
over.
Patrolman Mclaughlin told them he
thought they ought to see the East

rival there the boys gave their names g
as Thomas Buckley, twelve years old :;
Edward Remission, twelve, and John
Griffin, nine. They had currency
sewed in their clothing. The boys were
