CAUSES SERIOUS
ILLNESS TO WOMAN
Especial To The Tribune)

lockwood, Tenn, Aug. 11.-Mrs. ].
G. Campbell residing on the corner of
Walden and Clinton streets, Hartman
became suddenly i'll Monday while
partaking of the noon day meal after
eating a few bites of potted ham that
was later found to contain poison.
After medical attention she is rapidly
recovering. Mr.. Campbell is a well
known barber of that place and at
once began an examination of the ham
and to his horror found the we'll de-
veloped leg and foot of a rat in the
meat. All the lower joint was present
and the toes and claws. 1t is pre-
sumed that the foreign substance most
have been part of a rat that was
poisoned evidently at the packing
house where the meat was put up and
that some of the poison was carried
into the meat. Mr. Campbell was
highly indignant over the matter and
the can and rats foot have been sent
to the United States District Attorney
Kennerly at Knoxville for examina-
ton and further investigation.

ficient to accommodate at least three

DIR. |. X. WILLIAMS
MAY BE NEXT Pres.
OF N. B. CONVENTION
Especial To The Tribune)

Chicago, H., Aug. 11-Rev. L. K.
Williams, pastor of Olivet, who left the
city little more than a week ago
over the Alton is having the time of
his life. His first stop was at Kansas
City, Mo-, the next was Denver, Colo
RADIO and then Colorado Springs. All
along the line he was enthusiastically
received and is being favorably men,
toned for president of the National
Baptist Convention which meets in
Chicago early in September.
1t is generally believed that the Rev.
Williams because of his experience
and executive ability is the logical man
to lead the monster galaxy of religious
men and women numbering in the
millions His friends are urging him
to permit his name to be used as a
candidate for this great office.
Many great ministers believe that
DR.. Williams is the man to unite the
two factions which split here in 1916,
thereby making the Baptist the largest
organized force among Negroes in
America.
Sentiment for DR.. Williams is grow
ing every day and many are of the
opinion that his name is certain to be
placed before the convention while
others contend that DIR Williams will
be too busy in the work of his propos-
ed mammoth church and theological
seminary to devote his time to the
national presidency.

BLACKS OF CHICAGO
SOON TO BE owners
Of NATIONAL BANK
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, H., Aug. 11-To have a
life dream realized is the fortune
which has come to P. w. Chayers, the
president of the Douglas National
Bank of this city. The Douglas Ma
tional Bank is about to open it's doors
to the public. All the preliminary
steps of organization have been taken
by Chavers and his associates and
with the official stamp of the United
States Government as a guarantee of
good faith and sound business enter
prise, the first Negro national bank in
the history of the race on this conti-
nent will have been added to the al
ready large number of commercial en-
terprises that have been launched in
the past few years.
Chicago's daily press and the more
influential business interests of the
city have given their unqualified ap-
proval of the venture. The Chicago
Daily News calls it praiseworthy eff
fort and says: while the south has
many banks owned and controlled by
colored men, doing a large business
exclusively with colored people, they
all have been organized under state
supervision and never before have
colored men become heads of a ma
tional bank. The institution is open
ed with 100000 in capital and $4,000
in surplus. Stock in the institution
is to be sold exclusively to colored
people. It is praiseworthy effort. {"
Some of the best known colored
men in the city are among its officials.
Major R. R. Jackson, alderman of the
famed second ward; S. A. T. Watkins.
the general attorney for the knights
of Pythias; DR.. Edward S. Miller, one
of the city's noted physicians; DR..
John w. Robinson, the noted pastor
of the st. Marks M. E. church, are
members of the board of directors.
"This is to be a peoples bank" said
president Chavers recently. "The peo-
pie are invited to own it's stock. No
steps will be taken by the manage
ment that will not be in compliance
with the law and in obedience to the
will and best interests of the people
am happy to say that my life's dream
has been realized. The race is surely
coming into it's own.

COLORED editor IS
NOMINATED FOR JUDGE.
in PITTSBURGH, PA.
Especial to The Tribune)

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. lit was
Republican Senator Barr, of this city,
who declared on the floor of the. Penn
sylvania legislature, in speech,
while the Civil Rights bill was up,
that the trouble with the Negroes Of
the state was, that they were being di-
rected under false leadership. One of
the leaders referred to, was Attorney
Robrt L. Vann, who is also editor in
chief of the Pittsburgh Courier and
the Competitor magazine.
The answer to this false leader
ship" charge is the placing in nomina-
tion by the womens Republican or
ganization, of Attorney Vann for the
position of County Judge. All of the
colored LAWYERS of the city were bal
loted on for the position. and vann
won out with good lead.
A "committe of one hundred" has
been formed, and they will push the
candidacy of Attorney Vann for the
primary nomination in September
Under the new Pennsylvania election
law, with the great plurality of Re-
publicans in the district, nomination
at the primary is equivalent to an
election, and there is every reason to
believe that Vann will be nominated
for he is a most aggressive public
spirited citizen, and has large fol-
lowing in both races. Attorney Vann
is, also serving a term as Assistant
City Solicitor. The campaign is at
tracing nationwide attention. To
the Associated Negro Press Mr.. Vann
said: 81 greatly appreciate the com
pliment paid men, and when made
Judge, will serve all people to the
best of my ability. 1t is agreed that
the great increase of our population
entitled us to genuine elective repre-.
sentation."
