Colored Man Now Gums Restaurant
In Which He Was Once Head Chef
J. A. Alexander Has Come Out
of the Kitchen to Be Propri-
etor of NOrthfield's Finest
, Eating Place; Does Large
Business.

Rising from chef in a small res
taurant to the position Of proprietor
of one of the finest restaurants in
southern Minnesota in the short
space of one year is the story of j.
A. Alexander, proprietor of the Alex
ander cafe, Mortified, MINI.
A year ago Mr.. Alexander began
work as chef of the Decline cafe in
Northfield. Several months later he
purchased the cafe from the. owners
who wanted to get out of the busi-
ness. In slightly more than six
months he has built such an estab-
lishment and done such a volume of
business that he is now one of the
respected and prosperous citizens of
the busy little college town of
The main dining room of the Alex
ander cafe has a seating capacity of
140 and is kept immaculate. A chop
suey room on the second floor is ca
pable of caring for 80 diners. This
room is equipped with Chinese tables
inlaid with ivory.
Mr.. Alexander does a big business
the year around. In the winter
months the students at St. Olaf and
Carleton colleges keep him busy.
The summer months bring heavy
trade because of the fact that North
field is on the paved Jefferson high
way which carries thousands of tour
lists to and from the Twin Cities and
points in Iowa, Missouri and Eastern
points.
It is not the policy of the manage
ment to discriminate against either
white or colored. Both white and col
ored mattresses are employed. Mr..
Alexander himself is a staunch op-
ponent of discrimination. eff I could
not serve my own people with the
same courtesy and thoroughness with
which I serve my white patrons, l
would close up nv restaurant" he
told The Appeal reporter.

CoLored Mutt And
Jeff; In Chase, Tie
Up Subway Service
Pair Throws Express Train In
to Panic; Elude Cops and
MOtOrman
(Crusader Service.)

New York, Aug. 16.-John Thom-
as, subway agent on the southbound
platform of the 125th Street station
in Lenox avenue, counting his cash
at 7:3O o'clock last night, heard yells
and then saw a short and tall COL
ored man tumble down the stairs.
The short one was leading and ran
past the change booth and vaulted
over the turnstile. "Hey, where's
your money" shouted Thomas.
"Got no time to answer foolish
questions" yelled the short man as
platform and leaped to the tracks.
The tall man followed at his heels.
The two crossed to the northbound
rails as a Bronx express came thun-
dering in. The motorman saw them
and jammed on the emergency
brakes, jostling the passengers from
their seats and into each others
arms. Fearing the worst, the mo-
torman sprang to the rails and peer
ed under the train. But pursued and
pursuer were not there.
A telephone call was sent in to the
power house and the "juice" was cut
off. Policemen arrived. The pas
sengers, trembling and white faced,
piled out on the platform. One man
tainted and three women went into
hysteria, as the result of the excite
ment caused by the sudden stopping
of the train.
Trains were stalled all along the
route. The police swept the tracks
with searchlights, but found no trace
of the colored Mutt and Jeff who had
caused all the excitement. After an
hours tie-up, the search was given
up and service resumed.
1t is thought the colored Mutt and
Jeff pair ran to the next station and
out to the street. Thomas said the
tall one threatened to "run the short
one ragged"

New York, Aug. -Maddened
with jealousy and cocaine, Norman
Roberts, 27, of 204 West 143d street,
shot and killed his beautiful young
wife, Nellie, in the corridor of the
Washington Heights court, Thursday
morning. The murderer was in turn
fatally wonded by bullets Patrol
men Enoch Parsons, Francis ]. Quig-
ley and George Donelly, fired into his
body and died soon after the Colum-
bus hospital.
Family Trouble Cause.
Family trouble was the immediate
cause of the shooting. Roberts had
been served a summons to appear to
answer a charge of wife-beating. He
was in court early and had been
standing at the window watching the
passersby in the street. When Mrs.
Roberts, leading her fve-year-old
kirl Norma, appeared at the head of
the steps, Roberts advanced to meet
her and demanded roughly:
"What do you mean by bringing
me here?"
Norman" she replied, 81 want no
more trouble with you" Roberts

pocket. Mrs. Roberts caught his
hand instantly and held it down but
not before he had drawn the "A auto
matte. He began shooting at her
legs. His hand once on the trigger
he kept it there. AS the first shot
took effect in the lower part of her
body, she sank lower and lower until
a bullet finally pierced her heart.
Then she fell lifeless on the tiling.
Detectives Open Fire.
Court had just opened and at the
sound of the shooting Magistrate
Simpson ordered the patrolmen to
see what was the matter. They ar
rived in time to see Mrs. Roberts
fall. Roberts, it seemed had plan
ned to kill himself but at the sight
of the officers with their levelled re-
volvers he opened fire on them. One
of his two remaining shots was all
that he succeeded in firing for the
next instant he crumpled to the floor
under a fusilade of bullets from the
guns of the officers.
The little daughter that the dead
woman had been leading had mar
row escape. Thanks to the presence
of mind of Mrs. Eva Hoffman, "a
West 135th street, the little one was
snatched from the mother at the first
shot.
The pair had been married six
years and had been separated several
times. on account of the way Roberts
beat her.
The dead man is the son of Tren-
ton minister and is the brother of
Needham Roberts( who won distinc-
tion in the war.
Roberts it seemed, had planned to
kill himself, also. This fact is borne
out hv a letter found in his pocket
in which he stated he couldn't stand
things any longer.
