We take this opportunity Of giving
notice to the public at large, that
the anniversary dinner given to the
employees of the Custom House depart
ment was first scheduled to be held at
the Hamilton Club, purporting to be
the big Republican Club of the West.
AT the time scheduled for arrangement
tor said dinner, Mr.. Czarnecki was
personally informed that the dinner
would have to be served in two groups.
which meant segregating. Upon such
information being given the collector
withdrew his contract and the dinner
was given at the City Club at which
the entire staff Of the Custom House
department, the editor of the Chicago
Daily News and Others were in attend
ance.
The members of the Hamilton Club
are on record it is said, as having
passed resolution denying the right
of any Negro Republican to dine in
said club. Every member Of the Ham
ilton Club who is candidate for Office
should be scratched in the primary and
at the polls unless such organizations
are taught distinctive lesson. These
outrages will go on. Mr.. Lloyd Heath
is now the president of the club. He
was formerly an assistant states at
torney.
Mr.. Ralph w. Anderson, 6628 ST.
Lawrence Avenue, it is reported bought
special steel case with vacuum moth
ball valves to store away many of the
choice things given him upon his birth
day 50 that they could be enjoyed after
he has visited DIR. Switzer, and paid
his three dollars. 1t is a thoughtful
thing for young fellows to follow this
example in preparing for their life
sentence.

THE EIANIL TON CLUB WHICH is THE.
GREATEST REPUBLICAN CLUB IN
THE WORLD DRAWS THE COLOR
LINE.
By Charles Stewart, Jr.

1t is not the desire to have such ex-
plosion but if it does come it will look
like one of the wrecks from Mount
Vesuvius.
We appreciate the fact that the tea
and coffee magnet had a special frame
made to hold the scroll canvas OF his
retirement which was printed in The
Broad AK sometime past. If the citi-
zens Of Englewood would appreciate
more their home section paper they
would get in crisp form the things
that would be Of interest to them and
the upbuilding of their community.
Mrs. Bell Taylor Of Rock Island,
ILL.,, is the guest of Mrs. Elvie L.
Stewart, 1928 Calumet Avenue. Her
engagements during her visit have
been so many that she has to draw
lots to see where she has to spend
her time. Mrs. Taylor is the wife Of
the popular Will Taylor Of Rock Isl
and. When you visit Rock Island, if
you fail to meet the Taylors your visit
will not be complete.
The sage Of Englewood's political
history who stands in different groups
and tells the folks how much service
ne has been in the upbuilding of En-
glewood's construction takes this op-
portunity Of announcing the marriage
Of his daughter, Miss Marjory Clark,
to.the one Albert Littlejohn. 1t is to
be regretted that space will not permit
US to list the names Of the many we'll
wishers, but the parents thank the
many loyal friends.
We are creditably informed that
Mr.. Enos Bond, 6l5o Loomis Boule-
ward, is working on plans for the build
ing of new garage The commun-
ity points to this young man as one
Of their exceptional products and too
much credit cannot be given him for
his fidelity to his home and his many
friends.
The Rev. George Mex. Miller, Pas
tor Hope Presbyterian Church, is i'm
pressing his congregation as man Of
exceptional theological brain. 1t is to
be hoped that at every point he will
follow the civic course of the late
Rev. w. Edward Williams, in the
keeping out of the church politics and
the attempted domination of personal
interests which will tend to destroy the
Christian spirit left among its mem
bers and friends by the work Of Rev.
Williams.

1.-THE attitude Of Congress relative
to the congestion of jury cases in this
court is stern one. They have re-

fixed determination to use a.; means
to expedite these cases and ins,.re q

There are approximately 1900
cases pending and new demands are
being made at the rate of 10 per day.
If through lack of funds these jury
trials are not disposed Of, q terrific
congestion will result in the Jail. as
many of those who demand jury
trials will be unable to secure bond.
Judge Schuldt reported that $8,4SO

jurors and $40 for salaries for EN-
