The deed submitted to them for

Fake Credit Houses--
BeUdreU

Judge John p McGoorty gave a
jolt to the practice employed by
shrewd solicitors of fraudently OBJ
tanning signatures of incautous wives
for assignments of their husbands
wages, when he issued an injunction
against the Weber Department Store.
Van Buren, and Clark SITS.
Suit was brought by Woodie Gray,
2644 Park Ave. who claimed that an
agent from the Weber Stores had
secured Mrs. Gray's signature assign
ing her husbands wages for the
purchase of $3.50 set of silverware.
Mrs. Gray paid $500 down, and
agreed to pay the rest when the sill
yer was delivered. Evidence showed
that the silver had never been deliv-
cred, but that the Weber people had
harrassed Gray so much that he had
lost job after job. 1t was shown
that the assignment was obtained
without the knowledge or ratification
of Mr.. Gray.
Judge McGoorty issued the injunc-
ton without bond. Gray then i'm.
mediately filed suit for damages
against the Weber people for money
and time lost as he was bounded from
job to job in an effort to collect this
fake debt.

This Is a Dog-gon
Mixed Up Story

The wisdom of Solomon was
needed last week when Mrs.
Edythe johnson of 1913 State st.
and Mrs. Hill of 1924 Wabash
Ave. met in the grocery store.
Each flew to clasp little spotted
bull dog to her breast. Mrs. Hill
called it "Broncho" and Broncho
came and leapt about her. Mrs.
Johnson called it Chester and
Chester came and fawned before
her. Finally Broncho at command
of Mrs. Hill did some real stunts
that Mrs. johnson had never seen
him do before, but she had found
him on the street after he had
been advertised for in the Whip
and other papers and he was hers.
Mrs. johnson had done the same,
and Solomon in all his glory was
about to beneeded in addition to
the policeman on the beat when
Mrs. Hill remarked that she would
prove it was her dog by John
Withers at 5147 Federal Street.
"That's my cousin, said Mrs.
Johnson. "Then the dogs are
brothers" said Mrs. Hill, and they
were. Mrs. johnson is still look
ing for Chester who is the exact
counterpart of his brother Bron-
cho.

CRUEL OVERSEER'S SLAYING
ENDSIN DOUBLE LYMCHING

ALBANY, Ga, Dec. III. E.
Adams, white, a farm overseer in
Worth County, was shot and killed
Monday by unknown parties. Adams,
who has the reputation of being one
of the most cruel overseers in this
part of the country, has been en-
ployed for a number of years OH the
farm where he was slain. Two young
men, the McKelvey brothers, had also
been employed for some time on the
same farm, and by reason of Adams
cruel treatment to them, were sus-
pected by the authorities as being the
slayers. Based upon this fimsy
evidence, several farmers gathered to.
gether, taking the prisoners from the
authorities, shot them to death few
miles from the scene of the crime.

LOS ANGELES COURT CON-
DENNIS SEGREGATION

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. l.
Members of the colored races in this
city feel that they have won an I'M
portant legal victory in the awarding
of damages to colored boy for
refusal of moving picture house to
let him seledx his own seat after hav-
ing paid for his ticket. 1t had been
the custom in this, as in all other
California theatres to segregate per-
sons of dark skin to one side of the
house, be they Negro, Japanese
Chinese, or whatnot. The defendants
attempted to prove that the plaintiff
had been excluded from the house
because he was a minor.
The Supreme Court held, however
that clearly the defendant had been
refused seat because of his color ant
that this was contrary to section 81
and 81 of the civil code.

Says "PainleSs'' Lady Dentist
Burned His Face With X-Ray

How would you like to have your
face severely burned by an X-Ray
machine? A painfully blistered and
baked check is the result of Sylvester
Jones', 532 Aldinc Square, sojourn
in the palatial parlors of the New
York Dentists, of segregation fame,
side show and painless" or appar-
emily painful" fame.
Jones Own Story
Mr.. Jones states that on Saturday
last, November goth, while passing
the corner OF 35th and State Streets,
he was attracted by loud voices and
a congregation of people in the New
York Dentists Museum where
teeth were being extracted free and
cards were being given away repre-
senting $l00 in dental work The of
fer of X-Ray pictures of the teeth
was too much and he decided to take
advantage of it.

SOUTHERN JUDGE
FLAYS LYNCHERS

TYLERTOWN, Miss, Dec. L.
Possibly the most brazen insult to
American forms of government was
perpetrated in Tylertown last week."
was the comment made by Judge D.
M. Miller, of the criminal court, when
he recounted the lynching of Harry
Jacobs. who was taken from the court
room where he was on trial for his
life, and lynched in the main street
OF this city last week.
Judge Miller Makes Statement
Judge Miller is reported to have
the body of the prisoner from his
jurisdiction and his murder by the
mob the most reprehensible act ever
committed by brutal and savage
fiends of the South, and he branded
those who took part as unworthy of
claiming kinship to decent and re-
spectacle people. Judge Miller is
further reported to have said that the
act was entirely uncalled for, as the
prisoner would certainly have been
executed if he had come to trial.
Trailed From Auto
After breaking the courthouse doors
down while the trial was in progress,
the mob carried Jacobs into the
streets, shot him to death, tied him
by a rope to the axle of an auto-
mobile, and dragged him through the
town. The murdered man was
finally dragged to Magee's creek,
near the town, where he was hanged
from the bridge and his body riddled.

and on getting Supposed" free pic
ture his face was burned very severe
ly, causing him untold misery and
pain and necessitated him seeking the
services of physician who sent him
to one of the co1ored dentists for
proper and careful treatment and re-
lief.
To Sue New York Dentists
So great has been his pain and loss
of time from work that suit has been
started against the New York Den
fists for $25,00000 by the law firm of
Ellis & Westbrooks, 5000 State St.
This is but one of the many cases
that has been brought to the attention
of the Chicago Whip in which the
painless" parlors have failed to keep
up to their haring signs. Many still
listen to the siren songs of the
barker" who calls them in to the
free" clinic that they may begin
work Oh their mouths which in
Jones case will cost dearly.

it has been a we'll recognized custom
from ancient days down to the present
to bostow a key on favored individuals
as token of esteem.> Indeed, when a
distinguished visitor comes to Chicago
the city fathers give him the keys to the
city. 1t is recorded in history that
Caesar turned over to a distinguished
visitor from the San Hedrin Courts the
keys OF the city.
But be that as it may. Foster Brad

holder OF the other key is shrouded in
mystery Whether he went out by the

Chivalry TO the Rescue
The uproar caused by Bradford's en-

at the scene OF conflict just as Bradford
had disposed OF the two girls. Johnson
did not even have time to grid himself
for the fray He fell, cut grievously
three times across the face. Bradford
then made his escape.
SO ends the story of the key.
