an investment instead of an expense.
He made this point last winter in his

COLORED PATROLMAN
OF CHICAGO Alone
NABS Three BANDITS
(Ry the Associated Negro Press.l

(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 23.-Detective
Sergeant Sidney Williams is now
numbered among the heroes of the
local police department. Stunned by
blow on the head by blackjack in
the hands of a desperate criminal,
Williams overcame three hold-up
Negro bandits last Friday night, XII
ing one and assisting in the capture
of the two companions of the slain
bandit.
The affray was started in a restau-
rant at 2S42 South Dearborn street, in
the heart of one of the dark" sections
of the south side. Williams entered
the place and recognizing the three
bandits as members of a desperate
gang of pickpockets and automobile
Landits who have been making life
miserable for southsiders in general
during the past few weeks, he began
searching the men for concealed
weapons when he was struck on the
head with a blackjack by one of the
men.
In a fight which followed, William
Holland, who appeared to be the
leader of the gang was shot and
killed by Officer Williams. After a
desperate struggle in the course Of
which the restaurant was wrecked,
the men were overpowered and
placed under arrest.
Williams, who is Negro, has come
in for much praise from citizens and
public alike. Holland, the man killed
is known to have been the leader of
a "black and tan" gang of thieves and
burglars who have been terrorizing
certain sections in the city by their
daring depredations. The police have
been baffled in their endeavors to ap-
prehend the men. Williams was one
of special detail placed on their
trail. He had received information
which pointed to Holland and the men
who were with him at the time the
brave officer entered the aforesaid
restaurant
Charges have been filed against the
proprietor Of the restaurant that de-
clare the place is a resort for crimi-
nails. The police say that they will
cause the closing of the place. In
the meantime Officer Williams has
put. himself in line for early promo
tion.

prove of great interest in connection
with the movement which has been
started by group of Negro bankers
and business men to organize a three
million dollar ($3,OO0,00O) industrial
finance corporation. Just as the
American Bankers association in the
organization of this gigantic corpora
tion is seeking to build up American
export trade, in the same way the
Allied Bankers and Industrial cor
poration will seek to build up Negro
business in America. The Washing

movement to stabilize foreign trade
and also mentions the significant fact
that the stock of a six million dollar
($6,00O,OO0 southern finance corpora
tion recently organized to finance ex-
ports from the south has been over
subscribed. This corporation is an
answer to the need of supplying for

answer to the gerat need of assuring
