UDLY UNDS THE
PRAISES OF THE
BROAD AK

The Following Letter Speaks for
Itself
Mr.. Julius F. Taylor
Editor Of The Broad AK
6206 Elizabeth st.,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:
l desire to compliment you on the
article in last weeks issue about the
unwarranted raids made in the homes
Of respectable Colored people of the
south side You cited one OF many
cases where colored men and women
are arrested, incarcerated and held for
twenty four hours without being
booked or given an opportunity to
communicate with friends. often
rushed to the Bureau of identification
and photographed and measured and
then appear before the Judge next
day and are discharged, because of
no evidence against them Officers
in plain clothes accost them on the
street search them, without showing
stars and are often taken for hold up
men. They 60 into houses and search
trunks, beds, bureaus drawers and
every thing in the house breaking and
tearing up clothing and If money Is
found, give no receipt for it but take
it away with them. All Of which
goes to make colored men and women
desperate characters, with no friendly
feeling for the officer Of the law. "A
visit to the 48th st. court any Mon
day morning will convince the most
conservative man that the Negro Of
the south side is up against not only
southern, but police prejudice as well.
Mayor Dever was a fair minded judge
and believe a citizen Of this country,
and his attention should Be called tc
these outrages and a visit to this
court will convince him Of the Unjust
ice perpetrated on the colored citizens
Of Chicago.

this morning" all the time his clean
cut face was wreathed in pleasant
smiles.
Very briefly we informed President
Coolidge that out little newspaper had
loyalty supportd him in his race for
vice President in 1920, and that it
strongly supported him for President
Of the United States in 1924, and that
it would continue to up hold his hands
and administration as long as he had
the courage and the manhood to stand
by the American people, not the white
people or the colored people but the
American people.
AIT the conclusion Of our remarks,
President Coolidge again extended his
hand and said, Mr.. Taylor | heartily
thank you for the friendly feeling
which you have expressed towards
myself and | shall always strive to
occupy a warm spot in the hearts Of
all the American people and anytime
you visit Washington | will be pleased
to visit the White House and Mr..
Sanders followed us to the door and
Julius as long as you are a close
friend of Hon. Martin B. Madden,
Hon. William B. Mckinley, Hon.
Charles S. Deneen and Mr.. Nettleton
the doors Of the white house will al
ways swing both ways for you
Shortly after our pleasant inter-
view with President Coolidge We
greatly enjoyed chicken said
luncheon with Mr.. Charles Pickett
with plenty Of ice cream and home
made cake and two hours thereafter
we were seated in the parlor car
hooked on to the Capitol Limited the
crack train on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad headed for Chicago, ar
irving home on March TO- Keeping
our promise with our dutiful wife,
Mrs Taylor to land at home on that

 OVER SITUATION
See Threats Of War in Chinese
 Muddle

London Aug. 2l Rl-The new Chinese coastal regulations discrim- mating against the British and Jap anese shipping, as reported from Canton yesterday, are not only en- gazing the close attention Of the British government but have raised a remarkable stir in the press.
 The regulations framed by the Cantonese authorities, are: First Steamers of any nationality except British and Japanese will be allowed 10 use any port, provided they omit calling at the British port of Hong Kong. Second--All steamers upon entering ports must he subject 10 inspection by pickets of the anti-im perialist union.
 The British counsul general at Canton protested to the Chinese gov ernment that the regulations were In violation of Great Britian's treaty rights and were tantamount to a declaration of war. His stand Is en- dorsed by many papers here, al- though 1t Is remarked that the Chinese government is probably powerless in the matter.
 The general conclusion according ly is that the regulations are a de- liberate affront by the so-Called Can tonese government, which lacks in ternational status and is regarded here as under the thumb of the Bol- sheviki. The action, therefore, Is held by acme 10 be rather an act ot piracy than of war, Nevertheless the incident is looked upon as haV- ing created somewhat of a crisis.
 The foreign office Is examining the situation with great care and is understood to be in communication with the other powers, desiring to reach a complete agreement regard ing any measures to be taken. Press discussions indicate desire 10 have the support of the United States in any concerted action,
 The Daily Mails Hong Kong cor respondent says there is intense in. dignation among the British there coupled with impatjouCe at the ar- parent inaction of the British gov. ernment
