engaged in abolition work; among
those with whom he was associated
were Wendell Phillips, l. c. p. Freer,
Ghicago's most prominent attorney,
Frederick Douglas, and many other
great men of the cause. Frederick
Douglas, when in Chicago, made
Jones home his stopping place and
later preached his funeral Grafton.

he was able to purchase the property

JOHN JONES.

John Jones, a native of Raleigh,
North Carolina, born 1916, came into
this world of freeborn parents just
plain "John Jones'. He was a man
o medium stature, quiet and unas-
Stunning but possessed those qualities
that were characteristic of men born
to lead. He was not only n leader of
men but one of the greatest forces
that the century had produced for
the liberation of an ensaved people.
He was a christian of the baptist de-
nomination and dedicated his life to
the cause of abolition. Many are the
stories told of this humble and nigh
ty man of despised race who out
of nothing made something which
time nor space will not permit the
author to here inscribe, but later,
many of the great accomplishments
of this wonderful character will APP
pear under other headings.
A few years after the birth Of John
Jones, his parents moved t. Alton,
Illinois, to aid in the work of aboli-
ton under the tutorship of a sect of
Quakers. 1t was at Alton that Mr..
Jones became acquainted with John
Brown, who operated a printing Office
that was later destroyed by Copper
heads, these men became enraged
with the activities of John Brown.
burned his printing Office and threw
the press and type into the Missis-

accomplished his dream he said:
John Jones, was not anly recog-
"Now God, | shall use it for the pur-
pose of making others happy"
John Jones was not only recog-
nized as great colored man--but he
was considered TO be one of Chica-
COS most progressive citizens and the
fact that he was elected County Com
missioner in 1874. when there was
not over nine hundred colored votes
in the county Of Cook, bears this out
in toto. He filed his position of trust
with great credit and distinction;
when complimented upon for his good
acts, he would make reply: There
are thousands Of other negro men
who are more efficient and would do
as we'll if not better if given the OPP
portunity."
About 1877 he suffered break Of
health caused by too close attention
TO his work, and in 1879 he passed
away. His funeral was one of the
largest in the history Of Chicago, and
leading eitrizens paid homage at his
bier. Dr.. Raymond, of the First Bap-
fist Church preached the sermon. and
Frederick Douglas made the funeral
Grafton.
Other than bearing the distinction
of being the first colored man elected
to executive Office he was made a
members OF the Chicago Historical
Society and his picture still hangs ON
its walls until this day.
The life and work Of John Jones
should serve as more than an inspira-
ton for the many thousands of col

to Chicago within the past few years
they are coming to work over
"plowed ground" which if cultivated
with thrift and industry will return

was compelled to break virgin soil

Little Possibility
 Of Financial Panic
 Declares Sen. Owen

LINCOLN Neb.. May 2S.-Senator Robert L. owen of Oklahoma, in an address to at merchants club of Lincoln this afternoon. denounced financial conditions of the country and particu- larly what he said was the policy of the federal reserve banks in raising interest rates in an effort to check speculation.
 There is an impression justs now over the country that financial panic may be coming" Senator Owen said Such a thing is impossible. An in dustrial depression. however, is not at all impossible"
 The senator protested against what he declared to be the mistaken policy of the New York federal reserve bank in increasing rates for call loans The result he said. was to cause alarm when it was unnecessary, because they do not stop speculation. but sim ply encourage the bear markt." His remedy, he said. was not 10 raise i'm terest rates, but to limit loans. Fol- lowing his formal address the senator answered a series of questions put to him by bankers. He believed there could be no repetition of the 1907 panic brought about, he declared. by man ipulation.
