The first serious disorder to occur in

place in Al Tcarney's Jim crow jazz
palace, 35th ST and Calumet Ave, Mon

Throughout the holidays South Side
cabarets have been particularly free from
police interference. Little or no dis
order has occurred, and there have been
few complaints, Al Tearney's cabaret
known throughout the district for its
jim crow policies, has catered only to
white trade because OF the implication
that mixed trade would create disorder.

This makes the third shooting at Al

TEN that the famous developments in
the notorious Williams murder farm
and peonage cases became reality.
The Williams case, IN which l3
colored poems were found murdered, ,
the bodies OF some chained together
in muddy creek and others buried
in shallow graves stirred the entire
country, and led to the disclosures of
the deplorable prison system" which
has enveloped the southern criminal
for years. Williams was convicted
and sentenced TO life, while his three
sons are even now fugitives of justice.
The discoveries have, TO great
extent, led to the increased activities
which have marked the prison reform
movement throughout the entire
South and which in time, Is bound
to lead to a more modernized and edu-
cational form of prison life.
