in order to cause his friends to laugh.
Many times after Mr.. Carr became
Treasurer Of Cook County he would
ask our advice in relation to extending
favors to colored people who did not
have the money right on hand to pay
their taxes, and without any blare of
trumpets or newspaper publicity, he
stretched forth his helping hand and
assisted many of them to pay their
taxes and save their little homes.
Near the end of his first year as
Treasurer he called us in to see him as
he wanted to find out something about
the Fort Dearborn Hospital and
Training school. At all times we en-
deavored to tell him the absolute truth
pertaining to public institutions and
I'VE informed him that we had every
reason to believe that the hospital was
all right" and he said right off the
reel Il will contribute fifty dollars to
it through you"
The following letter speaks for itself

liant record in that body, always work
ing hard for the best interest of all the
people of Chicago, that after he had
served his first term his constituents
and all the politicians in his ward were
SO well pleased with it that he was
reelected to it without the slightest
opposition and shortly after his re-
election a huge banquet was given in
his honor at which time he was pre-
sented with the finest and the largest
diamond star in Chicago.
In moving onward in this short re-
view of the political career of Mr.. Carr
we wish to simply state that there is
nothing that we would state that
would add to the honor or fame Of Mr..
Carr, for his name has long became
a household word which will linger in
the hearts Of his fellow citizens for
many ages to come.
1t is simply our intention at this
time to touch upon his past political
career or fame that at all times he
would be regarded as one of the true
friends of highly respectable and
worthy coiored people, as IT has been
stated before Mr. Carr and the writer
had been warm friends for more than

it IS very hard to tell just at what
time of the year when the writer first
came in contact with the late P. ].
Carr, but if our memory serves US
correctly we first came IN contact with
each other around the City Hall either
in 1905 or 1906, at or near that time
he was honorably serving as one OF the
inspectors for the Board of Local I'm
provements, position he was appoint
ed to by Mayor Carter H. Harrison,
Jr. At his first attempt to be elected
to the City Council from the old 5th
Ward he had hard fight on his hands
and he was defeated by the late Al
5erman Charles Martin. At his second
contest with him, Mr.. Carr secured
more than two thousand copies Of this
newspaper which contained a strong
article against Alderman Martin and
his reelection to the City Council and
after the copies of the paper had been
scattered over that ward, it was much
easier sailing for Mr.. Carr, than it
had been before, and after the votes
had been counted. Mr.. Carr. proudly
walked into the City Council as one
OF its new members
He made such an honest and bril-

Dear Mr.. Taylor:
1t is with pleasure I enclose here
with my check to the $4,000 cam.
paign fund for the Fort Dearborn
Hospital and Training School for col
ored nurses. In doing so | fully ap-
preciate the work of these young
ladies, and your committee has my
hearty support in your endeavor to
raise this money for this exceptionally
good cause.
Yours respectfully.
Patrick J. Carr,
County Treasurer.
It will be recalled that only several
months ago Mr.. Carr contributed fifty
dollars to Mr. Harry S. Brown, who
prevented many prisoners from break
ing out of the Cook County Jail re-
Gently.
The vast majority of the people, white
and colored, will never know the many
good deeds which he performed for
suffering humanity.
There was one thing which cemeted
our friendship closer and tighter than
anything else, namely, at all times we
were willing to give through the col
umns of this newspaper publicity to all
of his charitable movements; that one
act alone on our part gripped him to
us with bands of blue steel, and at all

All day yesterday l waited for

could pay little attention to
the courtroom drama-and drama
1t was. There was mystery ana
suspense The actors played their
parts according to their own ideas
OF their roles.
The defense attorneys were ponp-
Gus, dignified and slow.
Senator Simpson was quick and
biting.
It was interesting. but always
my mind came back to that big
box.
Today It is the same-that big
box. Those things they wore that
night four years ago when they
went out to meet each other and
never came back alive.
Today. too, I am haunted still
by some Of my fathers testimony
late yesterday. He told on the
81 =
for letters which DR.. Hall had
written to my mother. But that
wasn't his fault. A woman tricked
me out of those letters.
She told me she was a lawyer,
and wanted to protect me. Sac
took the letters and had them
published.
Came Back Sheepishly
Later she came back sheepistiy
with some of the money she had
gotten. Poor father was In debt
because OF my mothers heavy fun
eraI expenses.
The damage was already done.
My mothers romance had already
been barred to the world. Nothing
could remedy that. So father took
the money.
Father wasn't exactly nervous on
the stand, but he seemed confused
little. That is easy to under.
stand. It is hard to be on the
stand with all those eyes staring
at you.
When my father took the stand,
| the little Somerville courtroom
fairly buzzed with the whispered
comments Of newspapermen and
spectators. Poor father! He's such
quiet. unassuming chap-not at ali
the type that should provoke any
excitement. But he was the hus.
band OF the woman who was
murdered and therefore anything
he has to say or anything he does
is OF great interest. At least so it
seems.
His Alibi Stands
If you only knew father as /
know him and as the town of New
Brunswick knows him, you viii
readily understand why. No one
ever took much stock in efforts to
discredit his alibi. He can account
for every minute from the time
my mother left the house the night
i of September IA, 1922. to the time
when he was first told Of the dis.
coyery Of the bodies.

BY WIZ. K. HUTCHINSON
After suffering 3 series Of
defeats il Tuesday y elections,
the Republican party faced q
new peril today ID the posi-
bility that the Democrats may
assume actual control of the
Senate ii the new Congress.
While the Republicans
boosted Of holding 48 seats in
the new Senate just enough
to organize that body after
next March a their calcula-
tions included Senator Lynn j.
Frazier Of North Dakota, in
surgent, who was openly and
eagerly thrown out Of the
party just 20 months ago.
Frazier On Fence
Now like q Chicken come home
to roost, Frazier hasn't made up
his mind whether he'll be party
Republican when it comes time to
organize the Senate.
Without Frazier's vote, the Sem
ate would divide AZ Republicans,
AT Democrats, / Farmer aborite
and l independent '-as the Re-
publicans themselves have CLASH
fled the North Dakotan since
March, 1925. This Republican
strength includes Senator'S elect
Smith of Illinois and Ware of
Pennsylvania, and if their certifi-
Gates are refused at the initial
session Of the new Senate. all
hope Of Republican control will be
destroyed.
Holds Fate In Hands
If Frazier votes with the Demo-
Gratis to organize-regardIe Of the
Smith and Ware contests--that party
will control the Senate, grab off all
the chairmanships, the patronage,
the choice offices, and the glory
of putting Democratic names on
legislation.
1t Frazier and Senator Shipstead
F.L) Of Minnesota, walk out of
the room or vote independently
matter what happens to Ware and
Smtth-the Republicans and Demo.
Gratis will have to divide all chair
manships and the rest of the glory
And Shipstead recently was me-
morialized by the Farmer-Labor
party to vote Democratic in TIE
future. thus adding to the peril.
