BULLETIN NO. 6O-GUAR RID
YOURSELF AGAINST THE
HIGHWAYMAN
By Chief Of Police Morgan A. Collins

Pedestrians and motorists who travel
late at night must at all times be
vigilant Upwards of 80 per cent Of
Chicago's hoIdups occur at night
Darkness is the silent partner Of the
footpad and automobile highwayman.
Here are a few suggestions on how
to guard yourself against this type of
criminal:
Don't carry more money than is
necessary. If you must carry large
sums of money, don't carry it in a
handbag or in loose manner. Conceal
it safely on your person.
Don't display large sum of money,
particularly at night time in the pres
ence of strangers.
Pedestrians and motorists should
avoid using poorly lighted thorough
fares as much as possible. Be ever
on the alert crossing dark alleyways.
Don't shortcut through deserted
prairies or dark lots. A desire to save
a moments time may cost you your
valuables.
If followed by strangers late at
night, either on foot or in automobile,
seek lighted spot and stay there until
you satisfy yourself that you are safe.
A lavish display of jewelry at the
theatre and other forms of amusement
is always an invitation to the holdup
man. Many Of our so-called vestibuIe
robberies are traced to this cause.
AND REMEMBER, AN OUNCE
OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A
POUND OF CURE. WE ARE
TRYING TO PROTECT YOU.

In common with the united civiliza-
ton, Monday, May 81, there gathered
from the four corners of the globe,
men, women and children who carried
with them in bundles and baskets,
ferns of every description, to be plant
ed on the mounds, some of long ago,
in commemoration of their valor.
Orators of renowned reputation pic
tured to these millions the cause for
which the sleeping fought, and en-
deavored to impress upon their gath
erings anew the reason that the worth
and character of the silent service
means that no tribute could be too
highly BETTING as an example of the
deeds that their service gave in an en-
deavor to make democracy for the
worlds highest moral principle.
AS revivation Of the deeds of the
soldiers of '61 no greater lesson was
ever painted than the famous reprint
of Tom Nast's famous picture where
General Robert E. Lee extended his
hand to the uncompromising general
whose monument stands. in Galena,
Illinois and when the curtain of all
time shall have been pulled down on
all these parades the new born de-
scendants of the men of this day and
time, if they will read as history tells
of Grant, Logan, Sherman and Sher-
idan and the black soldiers of the re-
bellion called in to defend a nation at
the most crucial hour when the last
shot of the old cannon and musket had
been fired. it meant in fact, that the
descendants of these four million men
who had been endeared to American
justice in all OF its measures would
sleep in quiet in the cities made from
countless numbers.
AS has been the custom in the past,
hundreds of thousands of citizens of
every age and station IN life, gathered
along the route of the new Michigan
Avenue, travelling from the north,
ending at the road named after the
most powerful warrior of his time, who
gave four sons that America might aid
other nations of the earth in bringing
peace to the godly sons of man. IN

Fifteen hundred police led the pa

in Michigan Avenue, but on fields in

thinned as said above by many who
had hoped to be there this day The
special notice of those who have
watched these parades in days gone
by. was the absence of the majority OF
the famous Grant Post fife and drum
corps. 1t used to be the proud day IN
the late Bishop Samuel Fallow's life
to be part of this parade with his old
Grant Post in the march of Decora-
ton Day. They are all gone except
Manly and one other and too on this
day John Davis, one of the comrades
in parade in health and seeming
strength but as an example OF the
time of battle he fell in the line OF
duty and the life he gave on that pa
rade marks the same step that others
must follow.
They passed on down by the review
ing stand and thousands cheered as
the music played the old and new war
songs and the radios carried to the
worlds civilization the distinctive
period of the things that were to mark
their days memory and pick the story
to that point.
Then there came in line the Spanish
American war veterans, representing
today some Of the foremost business
and professional men of Chicago and
America. They fought that the tyran-
nical hand of Spain be loosened and
Cuba and Porto Rico be made part
of the army of civilization. The sad
dest section of today's part of the pa
rade was the pictures personally drawn
by the Gold Star mothers, young
widows and orphans that had been
made so by writing a new history of
the world in their common blood that
represented the best of the nation that
participated in the battle of defense
that a new and lasting tribute to the
fundamental establishment of equal and
common justice to all. In this parade,
too, our group played a part. The
boys marched down the street and
upon each Of their faces was told the
story as they marched away from
Camp Tanner in '98 to become a part
of the army described above under
Roosevelt and Wood. They were the
old Eighth Regiment, then and they
played "There'll be Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight and THE Gangs
All Here" In 1918 they marched away
on Columbus Day, October 18th, to
prove to the world that they were a
part of the bravest men that ever par
ticipated in any character of war.
When they enlisted they were known
as the 370th U. S. "A. They did honor
to the country. They had hoped to do
honor to themselves. They had hoped
that on this Memorial Day equality of
man and woman would have come, yet
as they marched down behind the men
who had fought the battles of the COS
and other wars before their very hearts
were in pain and in silence they were
sending prayers Of reverential tribute
that those who sleep in fields where
the jonquil is the greatest worshipped
flower and the widows and mothers
there were strewing equally and alike

to him; that he is the dark king among
the colored people in this section of
the United States or words to the same
effect.
After Alderman Adamkewicz had
finished blowing the horn of Alder
man Anderson who is ever ready to
deal out big stack Of dirty, vile and
unprintabIe stories on the colored peo-
pie and none on the white people, we
simply informed Alderman Adam
kewicz that Col. Abbott might run
the greatest newspaper in the world
but that did not indicate that he is the
greatest orator in the world"
On all occasions Col. Abbott always
thrust himself forward and proclaims
to the whole world that he represents
the brains of the colored people in this
country and right here will some one
please hand US a smelling bottle or a
large dose of Knockout drops.
Coming right down to the colored
man in the wood pile, Col Abbott
absolutely refused to publish one line
free in the columns of his newspaper
in connection with the benefit for the
Old Folks Home given by the Amateur
Minstrel Club, which held forth at the
Eighth Regiment Armory Easter
Monday evening and as long as Col.
Abbott claimed ''that he was too poor
and money was too tight at that time
for him to aid the Old Felix's Home in
any manner, shape or form, he does
not represent the better class Of col
ored people in this city, for the best
class of colored people in Chicago are
filled full of race pride and they firmly
believe in supporting the Old Folks
Home.
AS further evidence that Col Abb
bolt and Alderman Anderson are one
and the same thing, that every time
that Alderman Anderson sneezes real
low, Col Abbott coughs very loud,
and some of their friends claim that
Alderman Anderson writes his own
articles which appear in the greatest
newspaper in the world and covers
himself over with much gush or soft
mush, so it was no wonder that Alder
man Anderson joined in the number
with those who called on Hon. Robert
E. Grove, states attorney of Cook
County, the latter part of April 1925,
(see picture in another column of this
newspaper), and urged him to select
N. K. McGill, brother-in-law of Col
Abbott to fat job in his Office, which
for some cause or other he was in
capable of holding down.

The Chances Are Desperate for SGccO
and Vanzetti, Review of the Case Shows

IN October 2srd Judge Webster
OThayer handed down his decI-
sion on the motions for a new trial
heard the week Of eeptember 18th.
Here arc his own wordsi
ain conclusion, as far as the Made
lros affidavit ls concerned II would
have been an easy tack for this
court to transfer the responsibility
upon another Jury, but II this were
done It would be the Sinking Of a
solemn duty that the law places
upon the trial court. Guided by this
solemn duty | have examined and
studied for several weeks without
interruption the record Of the testl-
mony upon this motion and the Ma
deiros deposition; and, being con-
troIIed only by Judgment, reason and
conscience, and after giving as
favorable consideration TO these de-
PENDANTS as may be consistent with
a duo regard for the rights Of the
public and sound principles Of laws,
am forced to the conclusion that
the affidavit Of Madelros ls unre-
liable, untrustworthy and untrue. To
set aside the verdict Of jury affirm
ed by the Supreme judicial Court Of
this Commonwealth on such an az
fldaVIt would be mockery upon
truth and Justice. Therefore, exer-
eIsIng every right vested In this
court In the granting Of motions for
new trials by the law Of his com
monweaIth, the motion for a new
trial is hereby denied"
That means that In spite Of the
confession of Madeiros, in spite Of
the affidaVlts of the department Of
Justice agents, Letherman and Wey-
and and Weiss's letter and the great
mass of testimony that has been
piled up refutlng the evidence on
which they were convicted, saceo
and Vanzetti must die.

radical workers, were arrested at

even capitalist newspapers, both
Sacco and Vanzett were convicted
and sentenced 20 death July II, 1921.
Stay Of execution was granted
while five motions for new trial
were argued on October 1923. In
this period, and In the months that
followed, the entire labor movement
OF America and Of the world was
aroused by what assumed even
greater international proportions
than the Mooney-6llllnus case. One
