FLAGSTAFF COLLEGE
HOMECOMING WILL
BRING HOBO PARADE

TEACHERS COLLEGE (Flagstaff)
Oct. 2S.-The hobo parade will be
one of the outstanding features of
the third annual homecoming day
of the Northern Arizona Teachers
college, with graduating classes dat
ing back to 1901 taking part, is the
announcement made today by Dean
Rellwood.
Today the campus at the Flag
staff college is taking on a strange
atmosphere, its male population wear
ing many forms of facial appendages,
vulgarly termed "whiskers." college
city" as the campus is known among
the school people throughout the
state, is q "bewhiskered city," and
for reason. College men not sup
porting an honest growth of hairs
upon the face have the alternative
of having them tatooed on, kanga-
rooed, fined and likewise scorned and
held up to- ridicule.
Kangaroo court has set at Taylor
hail., and Judge "Turk" Way rules
with an iron hand. Various and
sundry charges are brought against
miscreants ;nF the hours of the night
and the penalties imposed in no mean
or impartial manner. There are no
laws-His Honor, Judge Way, is THE
law, and kangaroo court in this
college city is the kangaroo court
of the old days with q vengeance.
Just now It lis possible to fine a
shick for going over to any of the
womenis dormitories, and also for
not going over. Right is wrong and
wrong is right. Use your own
judgment" is the advice, land Wen
prove you wrong and also fine you
for it, is the slogan laid down by
Judge Way.
For the Teachers college alumni
this will be the annual homecoming
cay, and also the 9th anniversary
of the college, and with the Hood
of returning old-time college stu
dents and the influx of many recent
graduates, the population of the col
lege city" is expected to increase
many times, bUt extensive prepara-
tions are being made to take care
of all.

ILLINOIS GANGSTERS
DISAVOW INTENTION
OF FURTHER BATTLE

MARION, ILL.,, Oct. 20. - up - With
whereabouts of the Shelton gangsters
in doubt and the Shelton brothers dis
avowing any intention to fight, it ap-
peared problematical tonight whether
would be another clash soon with the
militant Birger faction.
The only war-like move by the rival
factions today occurred this afternoon,
when Charley Birger, leader of one of
the gangs, announced he had been
warned that he was to be framed" by
st. Louis gangsters and left Harrisburg
with six automobiles loaded with
armed men and drove swiftly westward
to his roadhouse midway between Ma
rion and Harrisburg
Earl Shelton, i'll in East st. Louis,
meanwhile declared he and his two
brothers had permanently withdrawn
from Williamson county a month ago
and no longer had any connection with
the men operating in that section and
commonly known as the Shelton gang
He declared Birger was only talking
when he threatened to get the Shell
tonites in retaliation for the staying of
two Birger men last Sunday night.
The Sheltonites, driven out of Frank
lin county yesterday by the sheriff and
states attorney of the county, left for
parts unknown.
National guard officers at Herrin, as
observers of the situation, planned toI
remain in Williamson county until af-
ter the election next Tuesday when al
successor is to be elected to succeed
Sheriff George Galligan, who has been
accused by his enemies of making but
little effort to enforce the law against
bootleggers and gunmen.

DIR. SWEET AND co-DEFEND-
ANTS GO ON TRIAL AGAIN
ON APRIL FIRST

It was announced today by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People at its National
Office that the Detroit mob violence
cases growing out of the attack last
September by a mob upon the home
Of DR.. Ossian H. Sweet at Detroit will
be retired, the new trials commencing
on April |. This information comes to
the N.A.A.C.P. from its chief counsel,
Clarence barrow. Mr.. barrow and
Walter White spent two days in De-
troit this week, making final arrange
ments for the new trials. Robert M.
Toms, County Prosecutor, has an
nounced that Henry Sweet, younger
brother Of DR.. o. H. Sweet, will first
be tried. Separate trials have been de-
manded by defense counsel. Though
this will make the trials much longer
it is felt that this procedure will more
surely result in fairer trials for all the
eleven defendants.
Colored and white people all over
the country will watch closely the new
trials. The fair treatment of the case
by the press, especially by the white
newspapers of Detroit, has changed
sentiment somewhat towards the de-
PENDANTS but the opposition Of the
Khan has been increased because Of the
magnificent defense made in the first
trial. which, it will be remembered, re-
suited in a jury disagreement.

New York, N. Y, March 25.-The
Domestic Credit Bureau, Inc, a COM
pany specializing in confidential re-
ports for insurance companies and
credit departments on Colored appli-
cants, was incorporated last week under
the laws of the State of New York.
This company, with general Offices at
228o Seventh avenue, New York City,
is the first Colored organization to
enter the field. J. Leo Chestnut, well
known former newspaper man, is presi-
dent and general manager.
The new bureau is doing business on
national scale, already having in
spectors in II large cities, with sub
branches in FIVE of these. Other sub
branches, particularly in the South and
Southwest, are to be opened soon, thus
guaranteeing rapid service in field from
whence requests for service have come.
The president Of the company in a
brief statement to the press said, 1--WE
feel that the Domestic Credit Bureau
gives service and fills need that no
other bureau now in existence can.
Then again, it is wholly owned and
operated by our racial group"
Furthermore, we believe that the
high grade colored inspectors, which
it employs, guided as they are by care
full supervision, can give ample, exact,
and accurate information such as in
surance companies and business or
carnations sorely need.
Judging by the way in which the
companies are responding to the Do
mestic Credit Bureaus announcement
of opening for business, we cannot but
feel that il is giving type Of inspec-
ton not furnished by services previ-
ously used"

BULLETIN NO. 5O-BEWARE OF
THE FAKE SOLICITOR
By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins

Thousands of dollars are mulchted
every week by smooth talking fake So
licitors for alleged contributions for
benefits and other affairs in aid of
charity.
The favorite modus operandi of
these fakirs is to telephone the in
tended victim, representing himself as
a public official or some prominent
Chicagoan, telling him that personal
representative will call upon them in
the course Of day or so.
Investigation of hundreds of COM
plants shows that the major portion Of
these telephone solicitations are frau
dulent.-
When you receive call of the above
nature, take the name and telephone
number of the caller. Then satisfy
yourself as to the geuineness Of the
name and proposition by calling back.
Before parting with money to any
solicitor, demand to see their creden-
tials and satisfy yourself that the char
ity is bona fde.
If You have been duped by false
Misrepresentation and you have given
check Immediately notify your bank
to stop payment on the check. Then
call your nearest police station-Police
1313-and make complaint.
If your suspicious are aroused by
one of these fakirs, quietly call the po-
lice and engage the solicitor in con-
versation until they arrive.
Always play safe by investigating all
requests for aid before parting with
your money.

MISS HELEN GREEN A BRIDE
A Tribute to Mrs. Helen Green Usher,
From the knowledge Seekers
Club
By Rev. Theodore Stephens

To more than one-even to her
mother and father-it was revelation
of JOY Except possibly, to one gentle
man who when apprised Of the fact
over the telephone, exclaimed, Its
too badl') when it became known that
the charming and worthy Miss Helen
Green was, in reality, Mrs. Helen
Green Usher.
On the evening Of the 10Th instant,
number of friends of the nuptial pair
assembled at their home, Ala Bowen
Ave, to do them honor.
At 1880 P. M, after a rather lengthy
promenade, the happy couple, nothing
doubling, returned to Ala Bowen, to
find that their home had become a
veritable wonderland with gaudily at
tired guests who had come to honor
bride and bridegroom with both pres
ence and presents.
The groom seemingly, because OF
some foreknowledge, was not wholly
surprised, but Mrs. Usher was over
whelmingly so when the lights turned
on, revealed in joyful concealment in
her apartment a number of happy
guests.
The hours which succeeded the UNI
yelling Of the Shower" were happily
spent.
Marriage in these days Of fashion
able divorce, is considered civil con-
tract easily entered into for society's
sake, and as easily broken by the con-
tracing parties.
Some people forget, and others are
ignorant Of the fact that the conjugal
has its origin in the Divine union of
the Divine Love and Wisdom in the
Lord. This union of Good and Truth
in the Lord is seen in universal nature,
but more especially in marriage love
which is the union Of two minds-the
love of the woman united to the wis
dom of the man. When these two are
not united there is doubtless, legaIized
mating or common law" relationship,
but no marriage in the true sense of
the term. Marriage is the spiritual
union of two souls, the one-the wom-
an-being the form Of love; the other
the man-being the form of wisdom
(By form we do not mean shape).
Marriage is the ef@ieeless' jewel of the
Christian religion and likeness it is
of the Lords love for His bride, the
church. Hence the sanctity Of mar
riage.
The X. S. G. extends to Mr.. and
Mrs. Usher its fluctuations and best
wishes for an unbroken conjugal life.
On the twain-Helen and Fred-we
see two lives welded into one; two feet
travelling the same pathway, two eyes
beholding the same vision, two hands
lifting the same load, two lungs breath
ing the same atmosphere, two hearts
pulsating with the same love, two lives
made one in love and in thought, thus
one in purpose-"No more twain, but
one"
What God hath joined together let
no man put asunderp
