MOB LAW TO COST CHICAGO TAX
PAYERS $5OO,OOO in 1923.

(By The Associated Negro Press
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 28-It is now cs-
timated that "mob law" for eight days
during the Chicago Riot, in 1919, will
cost the local taxpayers more than
100000. in addition to their share OF
the expense OF maintaining an estimat-
ed 5000 state troops in the city for
nine days This estimate followed the
council finance committees approval
yesterday afternoon OF eighteen death
claims aggregating $4,000.
For FIVE other deaths the city had
previously paid $20,8O0. and probably
will be forced to pay for fifteen other
killings, which both the coroner's jury
and the lowden commission charge to
the race riots.
On the basis OF recent settlements,
$500 per death, recommended by a
subcommittee composed OF Aid.
Guernsey, L. b. Anderson. Grove,
Schwartz and Rivhert, the fifteen other
deaths will cost 800.
The riot injured total 543, according
to the investigating body, the Lowden
commission, of which 178 were white,
348 colored and seventeen of undc-
termined race.
Thirty-three were sufficiently injured
to have filed suits for total OF $l70,-
600 Three have obtained judgments
aggregating $ll,T3 an average OF
$3,79l 1t is roughly estimated that the
thirty-three will obtain an average OF
$1,000 each. which adds $4,000 to the
expense.

Howard University
to Give Courses
in Negro History,

Washington, d. c., Dec. 30.--For
several years past the authorities
OF Howard University have recog-
nized the need and possibility OF a
more extensive study that is at pres
ent being given TO the history OF
the Negro peoples of the world. For
quite some time beginning with the
establishment of the Moreland Foun-
dation and through Il the acquisition
OF Negro America the study OF Amer
lean Negro life and history has con-
stituted an important part OF the
work OF the University, but until
now It has not been able to extend
this study in any intensive way into
its African beginnings The authori-
ties, however, now take pleasure In
announcing program designed to
meet, in part at least. this important
need. During the winter and spring
quarters of this year three definitely
outlined courses dealing with Negro
civilizations in Ancient and Medieval
Africa will be established and given
as an integral part OF the work OF
the School OF Liberal Arts. These
courses, which will be made under
the general supervision of the His
tory Department will be directed by
Mr.. William Leo Hansberry, grad
| nate and graduate student Of Har-
ward University. Mr.. Hansborry is "a
young man Of African descent, and
has devoted considerable time both
in and out of college to investigations
in this field. -
The following is an official state-
ment Of the scope and general nature
of the courses to be offered
