FISH LAUDS COURAGE
OF NEGRO SOLDIERS
(Preston News Service)

Indianapolis, Ind, June 30.-Hamil-
ton Fish, Jr., member of Congress
from New York, upheld the courage
Of Negro combat regiments that served
in the American Expeditionary forces
in an address here at the 18th annual
convention Of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie.
Recalling failure Of Congress to pass
his bill for appropriating $4,000 for
a monument in France to commemo-
rate the deeds of Negro troops, Mr..
Fish said: "All we ask is that the
unjust discrimination against the cour-
age and war services of the Negro
soldier be done away with and that a
battle monument be erected in France
which will for all time be an inspira-
ton to loyalty, patriotism and heroism
for all the colored people of America" !"

Col Moriarty Was Old Time Warm Friend of Mr. julius
Taylor and He Was Constant Subscriber This Newspaper
From October l. 1S99 Down the Day of His Death.

Last Friday evening, Col. Daniel
Moriarty, who was in his seventieth
year, peacefully closed his eyes in
death after long spell Of illness at
his lovely home, 11722 Longwood
drive.
For many years he was the head and
the front Of the old fighting Seventh
Regiment Of Illinois, serving as its
Lieutenant Colonel during the Spanish
American War. At the end Of that
war, succeeding Judge Marcus A.
Kavanagh as its colonel Col Moriarty
was a prominent figure in Democratic
politics. In 1912 he was elected one OF
the commissioners of Cook County.
Prior to that time he was connected
with the Board Of Election Commis-
sioners' Office. After his return from
France, where he was separated from
his regiment he was connected up until
he arrived at the end Of the road with
the County Clerks Office, Hon. Robert
NJ. Sweitzer.
Col. Moriarty was born in old Ire
land and had resided in this city for
more than fifty years. He was very
popular and much beloved by people
in all walks Of life. He was one Of its
first Irish-American citizens to become
a member Of the old Hibernian Rifles,
which was in time merged into the old
Seventh Illinois Infantry.
Several times in the past the won
derful military career Of Col Moriarty
has appeared in the columns Of this
newspaper and as it has already passed
on down into history through this
we will briefly refer to
him as we knew him for almost 80
years.
Shortly after coming to the great
city of Chicago to reside in June, 1899,
We came in contact with Col Daniel

more strongly impressed on our mind
that Saturday afternoon than ever be-
fore; for while walking around among
the great crowd Of people who had
assembled there to witness the depar-
ture of the regiment for the last time
as such, we noticed a young colored
soldier belonging to the Eighth Regi-
ment wandering around with a basket
of peaches is his hand, and we kept
on watching him, and finally he ran
across a young white soldier belonging
to the Seventh Regiment with his
sweetie holding on to his right arm
When they met face to face the colored
soldier exclaimed, Hello, Charleyl ]
have been looking for you for a long
time" and at that he presented his
white soldier friend with the basket oil
peaches. That one act on his part was
positive proof that a strong friendship
existed between the officers and mer
of the two regiments.
He is survived BY his widow, Mrs
Deborah Moriarty; his son, Maurice
and his brothers, Maurice Thomas and
Patrick, who is a captain in the fire
department.
Funeral services were held over his
earthly remains on Monday morning,
with full military honors, at Sacred
Heart church in Morgan Park. Mem

Business men and politicians, civic

and taps were sounded over it. Inter

Moriarty, and from that time until his
death we were the warmest of friends,
and on October /, 1899, he started in
to become a regular subscriber to this
newspaper and during all those years,
once each week to the present it found
its way into his fine home, 11722 Long
wood drive.
On several occasions in the remote
past the writer was the guest of Col
Moriarty and the members Of his old
fighting regiment while it was in camp
at Springfield, Illinois, and we were
never treated more royalty in our life
than we were on those occasions. We
had seat right by the side of the
much beloved Rev. Father Edward A.
Kelly, the eloquent and brave chap
lain Of the old fighting Seventh Regi-
ment, who has also passed on into the
next world.
1t also fell to our lot to attend sew
eral Of the balls held at the Seventh
Regiment Armory, and it was there
that Col Moriarty with much pride
presented us to his constant and de-
voted wife, Mrs. Moriarty and to his
many other lady friends. He would
always say, This is my friend, Mr..
Julius Taylor"
On beautiful afternoon in October,
1917, Col. Moriarty proudly marched
at the head Of his famous fighting reg
iment from its armory, 35th and Went
worth ave, to the Union Station, and
we walked all that distance and kept
within his shadow all the time, and
bade him farewell when the train de-
parted for the training camp at Fort
Houston, Texas.
There was always a friendly feeling
between the officers and the rank and
