ANDERSON HAS NJ
 CHANCE FOR FIRST
Will Have to Win Nine Games
 From Gudain to Cop Second

Eddie Anderson, last year state durkpin bowling champion, lost his last opportunity 10 remain in the running for the state title again this year last night al the Casino alleys when he dropped seven out of nine games 10 Ray Gaines of Hartford. 4 new champion will be crowned after this week with the decision in the race remaining between Teller Of Meriden and Barbour of Waterbury. Anderson has probably also lost his chance to remain in second place because glance over the standings reveals that he must take all Of the nine games in his remaining match with Gudain of Meriden to land in the second bertn.
 Anderson rolled his poorest nine games of the season in inc match last night while Gaines was in great form. They both started with very good scores in the first game. but Anderson fell into q slump and Gaines ran away with the match
 r appears although the official standings are lachire that Barbour of Waterbury has won tho cham pionship with Teller leading for sec ond place. r is hardly probablo that Anderson will be atln to cop nine games from the Meriden bowler for second money. This match with Gudain is not definitely settled hut it is expected that il will be rolled off some night next week.
 The biggest crowd Of the season was on hand last night 10 witness the champions downfall. The scores Of last nights match were as fol. lows:

TEXAS YVES WITH SOUTH

LYNCHING ORGY

Houston, Tex, Nov. 19.-The Texas
prairies are being combed by posse
in search Of seven men dressed as cow
boys, sought as the killers of three
Negroes, one Of them woman, in one
of the most diabolical crimes ever per-
petrated in the state, it is said.
The bodies Of the victims were found
Thursday morning at an isolated spot
near the county line, twenty-five miles
from Houston. Two of the victims
one woman-were burned to death
when the demand of their attackers
that they quit the home went unheeded.
Kidding the burning wooden building
with bullets, the attacking barbarians
emptied their pistols and fed.
Surrounding the house under cover
of darkness the marauders shot their
first victim, Scott Evans, so, ranch
foreman, when he responded to cali
at the door. Wounded, he tried to run.
One Of the williams crushed the wound
ed mans head with heavy weapon.
Robert Brown, who occupied the
house with his wife and Evans, failed
to heed demands that the Negroes
leave their home to face probable death
at the point of mob's guns. Brown
and his wife died in the flaming build
ing, which had been set on fire from
end to end By the mob.
The fourth occupant Of the house,
Frazier Holmes, cook, escaped. He
answered cali at the door and was
allowed to escape unmoIested, il is said.
The house was on the Bassett
BIakeIy ranch near the county line Of
Harris and Reed counties. The struc-
ture was probably mile away from
the main ranch buildings.

T E l. ONE LIST IN LOS
ANGELES PASSES 100000

Since 1921 California City's Total Of
instruments Has Doubled Itself
Los Angeles has recently installed its
300,000th telephone.
The city of Los Angeles is now the
fifth city in the United States to attain
this distinction and the seventh city IN
the entire world with as many as 100000
telephone connections, the other cities
in the United States being New York
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
Outside of the United States only Lon
don and Berlin have as many tele-
phones, but London has a population
of 100000 and Berlin 100000, while
the population Of Los Angeles is given
as only 100000
The growth Of the telephone in Los
Angeles, especially in recent years, has
been remarkable. In 1921 the city had
only half as many telephones as it has
today. 1t was three years and two
months ago that the 2OOOOOth tele-
phone was added to the Los Angeles
system. The metropolitan area Of Los
Angeles has twenty-five telephones for
every 100 persons, which is better ra-
ito than for the country as whole,
which has fifteen telephones for every
100 persons.
This 300,O00th telephone was placed
in tire factory on South Central ave-
nue. and was installed by John Klein,
the local telephone company's Oldest
installer. Los Angeles now aims to
overtake Philadelphia, which has about
355,000 telephones. 1t is also interesting
to note that Los Angeles now has as
many telephones as there were in the
whole country in 1895.

most progressive class of Jewish
Americans in Chicago For our part.
we honestly feel that Mr.. Eller and
his son and Mr.. Rosenberg and his
near relatives would be utterly in
capable of committing such a vicious
and diabolical crime against society and
humanity. 1t is true that Mr.. Eller is
high tempered and full of ginger, but
that fact does not justify anyone to
destroy his home and to break up the
happiness of his family.
Mr.. Rosenberg, after some years, has
become the high leader among the
Jewish-American Democrats on the
west side and Mr.. Eller has been
among the most prominent Republi-
can leaders belonging to the Jewish
race in that same section Of the city
and it seems to us that there is plenty
of room for both of them and their fol-
lowers to dwell together in peace and
harmony.
In the past Mr.. Eller has served as
market master at the Maxwell street
market. He was selected by Mayor
William Hale Thompson as City
Sealer of Chicago. His six year term
has almost expired as one of the
trustees of the Sanitary District Of
Chicago and he may become the
Thompson candidate for Treasurer Of
Chicago in 1927.

30 OKER T. WASHINGTON,
PATRON OF THE CoLORED
RACE


While ireland sings loudly the VIZ
tues Of its patron, Saint Patrick, and
many other nations and races laud the
names of heroes outstanding among
them, the Negro race in America has
not yet come to realize what Booker
T. Washington did for them and that
he was a saint indeed in their very
midst.
Washington's life is perpetual
challenge to the youth Of all nations
and races in the saying obstacles are
things to be overcome. No obstacles
seemed insurmountable TO him, from
the time he left home and went to Bal
timore where he laid his head on
Mother Earth's pillow under board
walk at night as the cheapest lodging
place he could find, until he dined with
the President Of the United States in
the White House
In the founding of Tuskegee lnsti-
tute, Booker t. Washington gave a
legacy to the Negro race that will re-
main through time If the colored
boys and girls that now attend that in
stitution can think back to the time
when its founder presented himself a
travel-stained, hungry boy for admis-
sion at Hampton Institute in Virginia,
with no funds to pay his tuition and no
friends to pay it for him, they might
well resolve that there are no obstacles
too great for them to overcome. For
that penniless boy managed to gain
admission, and when the class of rs
was graduated, Booker T. Washington
was on the Honor Roll of speakers.
We hear much these days OF young
men and women who say they would
enter college but they have no one to
pay their tuition. What these youths
need is to read the story of Booker T.
Washington's life, up from Slavery"
and say, IF colored boy such as he
could overcome all the obstacles he had
to encounter, / should be able to over
come trifes."
When Booker T. Washington took
hold of the proposition to make Tus-
kegee a college where every Negro
boy and girl of merit might receive an
education, it was landless, building
less, teacherless, studentless institution
of learning. A pleasant task to take
hold Of, especially for penniless Ne
grol But Washington had tackled
some hard problems before and was
ready to tackle another, and today that
institution stands as living monument
to his memory. At that time there were
many among the whites who were
strongly opposed to education for the
Negro, declaring it made him a worth
less scamp. Many Negroes themselves
did not care. And when this patron
saint of the Negroes borrowed $500
with which to purchase tract Of land
on which to found his dream of an in
stitution of learning, scores laughed the
idea to scorn as a foolish dream.
But when Booker T. Washington
died eleven years ago the school had
an attendance Of 1900 students. with
property valued at $2,000,000, where
forty-seven trades were taught at an
institution covering and owning 1000
acres of land-a testimonial and liv-
ing monument to one penniless boys
vision of the future. Although his body
has been laid to rest, his soul goes
marching on" as the patron saint Of the
colored race.
