ASKS FAIR PLAY AT FORUM.
Negro Attorney Says His Race Wants
No Special FaVors.

Justice and fair play-an honest
reward of merit in whatever race
found
That is all the Negro wants in Amer,
lea, S. L. Cary, Negro attorney told
the Open Forum at Grace Community
Church, Sunday afternoon.
Equal civil, legal and economic
rights, not special laws or favors, and
certainly not intermarriage, Cary
asked for his race.
1T has been said the Negro prob
lem is "A problem of ignorance, he
said. But ignorance is not confined
to the black race. Illiteracy is not
greater than in other groups.
1T is not II problem of poverty, Tor
it was found after the Atlanta trouble
that the mobs had attacked the Ne
groes who had shown the finer quail
ties and had accumulated property
leaving the others unhurt.
Purely Color Problem.
at is purely problem of color,
caused largely by the press OF TINS
country playing up crimes said to be
committed by Negroes and railing TO
play up the truth when 1t is found that
white men have been the culprits.
"The same God made the black man
who endowed tne White luCe Win 'iS
qualities to lead civilization.
"The only real friend the American
white man has in the world is the
American Negro. England is Jealous
of us, France is reaching out for pow
er, Germany is singing with defeat
and the little brown men of the Paciflc
are filled with race prejudice. They
are smiling in our faces because we
are the bankers of the world, but they
do not love us.
10000 Made Sacrifice.
"The Negro will fight when the need
comes. Today 10000 colored boys are
sleeping in Flanders fields, though
they knew when they died that they
were fighting for liberty they did
not have. -.
"The fourteen million cannot be kept
separate from the 100 million. The
black man cannot be kept in the gutter

MRS. TENiE LYONS PASSES
AWAY.

Mrs. Tenie Lyons, the beloved wife
of Wesley Lyons, and one of Denver's
most highly respected and influential
women, passed away early last Friday
morning after long and painful ILL
ness. The funeral services were held
from the Lyons residence, 1914 Wash
ington avenue, Monday, Jan. 16, at ,
p. m. Services were conducted by
Rev. w. H. Thomas and Father III. f..
Raining of the Church of the Re
deemer. The rich, resonant voice of
Mrs. Vernal Barnett lent the charm of
pathos to the occasion by vocal solo
feeIingly rendered.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful, blanket of white carna-
tions from Mr.. Lyons fellow employees
being especially striking.
The home was filled with sorrowing
friends, among whom was the presi-
dent of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, Mr.. Jesse f. Welborn, and
wife. Many other prominent white and
colored citizens attended.
The COLORADO STATESMAN ex-
tends its heartfelt sympathy to Mr..
Lyons and all surviving members of

FORMER PROMINENT DENVER
TIES VISITING THE CITY.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur S. Newsome of
Akron, Colo, formerly of Denver, are
among the prominent colored visitors
TO our city during the Stock Show.
Mr.. Arthur Newsome was clerk in
the treasurer's office during the term
of Mr.. Fine, when he lived in this city,
and was well known in politics and
race activities. Mrs. Newsome was
well known in social and club circles
and they made many warm friends
during their residence here. They are
stopping at Mrs. Ralph Branford's,
Washington avenue.

unless the white man stays in the gut
ter with him.
when my people were brought over
here in chains they were semi-DarDar-
ic, clinging like vine to the strong
branch. They worked in your clubs,
homes, business houses, and they
learned to think the same thoughts ana
love the same things. And the greatest
thing you taught us to love was lib
erty.
"The solution is for the business
man to promote the Negro when he
shows merit. Don't give him goods
give him a chance. Show him that MS
effort will be crowned with promotion
Encourage him that much.
Pleads for Square Deal.
"Then if the friends of the Negro
race would speak up when the Negro
is attacked, speak against mob vlo-
lence, speak for a square deal and
fair hearing.
Mob violence must stop. There is
not place in the United States where
Negro may feel safe in his own
home. If the Negro had possessed
spirit of vengeance and destruction
America woulds have been destroyed
long ago"
In answering questions, Cary sald
from three to five times as much is
spent for education on II white child
rs on n black, in Southern states. Pas
tors IN Southern states dare not preach
brotherhood.
In answer to the suggestion that the
five races be given the five continents
TO live on, he said: I'VE would give
this continent back TO the Red man,
would go to Africa, where would you
goT'-The Express.
The COLORADO STATESMAN is
proud to reproduce the above report
of the able speech delivered by Attor-
ney Cary last Sunday, taken from the
Daily Express of Monday evening.
Prof. George Morrison and his full or
chestra were out and enlivened the
meeting with some rich selections. The
vocal solos rendered by Mr.'Gene Mont
gomery and Lee Morrison were enthu-
siastically received.

A GREAT revival is in progress at
n Zion Church. The wonderful
pulpit eloquence and spiritual
power of DIR. Hall is most certainly
having its effect. The response has
been large and the interest is still in
the ascendant. Sunday night witnessed
a tremendous outpouring and the flood
pit fairly engulfed the great congrega-
ton. Never has there been heard in
our city more forceful presentation
of the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ.

FIREMEN FIGHT
BRISK BLAZE
FOR TWO HOURS
Does S4OO Damage to
Wood Working Shop
On Concord Ave

Fire Of an unknown origin early
this morning threatened the wood
working factory owned by The o..
V. Hooker Co., and operated by
W. H. Arkley on Concord Avenue.
The fire was discovered about
3 o'clock by Bert Boutain who was
passing. Mr.. Boutain sent IN the
alarm to which the fire department
answered promptly. Upon arrival
the firemen found the large bin in
the rear of the factory in which
sawdust is kept, blazing merrily,
Both the chemical truck and the
hook and ladder answered the call,
and general alarm was sounded.
The fremen with three lines of
hose battled for about two hours
before the stubborn blaze was sub
dued. Two men were left on the
scene until six o'clock.
1t was discovered that the fire
started in the chute that leads
from the sawdust bin into the en-
CINE room. The officials of the
firm are at d lose to place the real
cause of the fire as there had been
no fire in the boiler since the pro
ceeding noon. The sawduSt was
cleaned from the chute in which
the fire started as ususal Friday
afternoon when the plant was
closed down. The damage to the
building will probably amount to
$400, but it is a serous hindrance
10 the business as it will neceSoi-
tate some time in which to repair
the shop.

Attach No Blame to Hun
ters for Death of
Beebe Man

SHERBROOKE, P. O., Dec. 2
At the coroner's inquest held in
Beebe to inquire into the death of
the late Harry B. Stewart, acci-
dentally killed while out hunting
with some friends in the Emberton
woods, the jury was unanimous
in returning a verdict of "acci-
dental death" without placing the
blame on any particular individual.
The parties involved were very
great friends, and are understood
to have been participating in these
hunting expeditions during the
course of the past 25 years.
A high tribute was paid to the
deceased yesterday in the Court
OF the Kings bench, when W. c.
Tracey, Crown Prosecutor, applied
for the exemption of juror W. G.
Johnston of Stanstead, until Sat
urday morning in order to enable
him to attend the funeral.
Mr.. Tracey remarked: "In con-
curing with the request of juror
Johnston, ] desire to say that | re-
gret exceedingly that circumstan-
ceo will not permit me also TO fol-
low the remains of Mr.. Stewart,
who was friend of mine, and |
take advantage of this occasion to
lay a flower of remembrance on the
b;er of one who was one of God S
nohlcmen."
