OXFORD U. MAN TO PUT
SLANG IN DICTIONARY
Author Proposes to Include "Bo-
gus" "Loafer" and Similar Ex-
/ pressions in Publication.

CHICAGO OP.-An Englishman of
oxford University has set about writing
a dictionary in which "beeline,' "bo-
gus" "loafer" and similar slang ex-
pressions in the United States are to
find a place.
The historical dictionary of "Amer-
acan English" which viii trace the
origin and development of American
words and phrases Is the lexicographical
project of Sir william A. Craigie, now
a professor of the University OF. Chi
cago.
Sir William was knighted by King
George v for his work on the Oxford
English Dictionary.
Among the expressions in everyday
usage. which Sir William will list, are
"electioneering," ito catch on, ito get
the hang off, carpet bag" ITO strike
OIL" "law abiding" Ito take a back
seat" and "backWoods."
Prof. Craigie's original scholastic
'creation was born of his conviction
that the transplanted seedlings from
the pure tree Of Elizabethan English
not Americanisms only, but the whole
United States tongle of today-should
|be collected and edited in dictionary
form.
,uinnings this English scholar has set
about the task of tracing the language
of the United States to the present
time, chiefly through the aid OF yolun-
teer readers.
Modern dictionaries are so imperfect,
he declares, that complete history of
the English tongue in the United States
Is needed.

M. E. Bishops Highly Commend the
Efforts of Southern Commission
to Improve Interracial
Conditions

Kansas City, Mo.-The work of the
Commission on Interracial Co-opera-

and branches throughout the south,
was highly commended by the bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
their address to the general confer
ence in the recent quadrennial ses-
sion in this city. The section of the
address referring to the commission
was as follows:
"As illustrating the possibility of
constructive work in the correction
of race prejudice, we would call at
tention to the remarkable work done
by the Commission on Interracial Co
operation in field of unusually deli
cate relationships and perplexing
problems. 1t is one of the move
ments which has called constantly for
self-restraint and that faith which in
spires broad-minded endeavor. We
would formally acknowledge our obli-
cation to those who have given them
selves to the promotion of this work,
and we should not only encourage the
commission to continue effort in it's
particular field, but also should ac-
cept its Accomplishment as suggestive
of what may be done and ought to
be done in bringing other racial
groups together. The general con-
ference has it in its power, by the
promotion of such agencies, to
strengthen in a significant measure
the bonds of interracial good will"

TWO INNOCENT MEN
ARE LYMCHED BY
LOUISIANA MOB
Blackman Brothers, Who Admittedly
Had Nothing to Do With Alleged
Killing by Another Man
Victims of Mob.
sHERIFFs ACTS SUSPICIOUS
Responsible Citizens of Alexandria,
Louisiana, Charge Official
Collusion in Death
of Two Men.

New York, N. Y.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, SO Fifth avenue, has
just received detailed report cast
ing new light upon the brutal muir
der near Alexandria, La, of two in
nocent colored men, Lee and Dave
Blackman, brothers of William Black
man who was shot to death after al
legedly killing a deputy sheriff. No
crime was charged against the two
Blackman brothers lynched, except
that of being brothers to Willis.m
Blackman.
The facts as recited in the report
sent to the ~ A. A. G. P. and vouch-
ed for by leading colored citizens of
the community, are as follows:
Il. William Blackman was wound
ed by unknown deputies before he
even attempted to defend himself.
He was called to his door and shot
twice Closing the door he crawled
into another room. Securing his gun
ne shot and killed--alleged to have
Deputy Sheriff J. F. Phillips.
"2. The high sheriff went to the
scene of the alleged crime and per-
suaded two brothers of the deceased
William Blackman to allow him to
have them confined in Jail to keep
down mob law and to afford them
protection. This they unwillingly
agreed to, even though they were
over a mile away from the scene of
the alleged killing and knew nothing
of the crime until informed by the
sheriff
"3. Upon the date of the lynch
ing the high sheriff left the city of
Alexandria to convey two prisoners
to the state penitentiary at Baton
Rouge, La, thus setting a precedent
as prisoners are usually conveyed to
the penitentiary by deputy sheriffs.
The two prisoners carried to the peni-
tentiary were not so desperate that
it was necessary for the high sheriff
to accompany them, as is shown by
the fact that one of them had re-
Gently returned from Chicago that he
might surrender to the charge of
petty larceny, and had he been des-
perate this act he would not have
performed.
"A. Practically one week after the
lynching, only one newspaper has had
any comment to make and no efforts
have been put forth by any parish or
tigation, no effort has been made to
replace the burned homes or reim-
burse the aged father who has been
driven from the only home he has
ever known, no restitution has been
made.
"5. The foregoing facts leave the
public with but one opinion, namely
that the entire sheriff's force either
participated in, or were in sympathy
with, the mob. Further information
elicits the following: The high sher
iff was a staunch supporter of the
present governor, Huey p. Long, as
was the coroner who is also related
to the deceased deputy sheriff.
Therefore, doubts arise whether the
governor will even order an investi-
cation. If this is the democracy
for which the Negro fought, bled and
died, then for mine. give me heathen-

He is thus man without a country

boy away when he found him sulking
about evesdropping, but eye witnesses
have declared that the Russian hit

Subkoff was elected by the indignant
bystanders.
The princess was prevented by a
cold from accompanying her husband
to the cabaret, where in his previous
numerous visits he was said to have
incurred the resentment of other
guests by his rough manner.
The marriage OF the 63 year old
princess last November 10 was opposed
by her brother, the former kaiser, and
by others OF the former German
ruling houses. Recently. however, the
princess had asserted that she was
on good terms with members of her
family and that she and her husband
intended to settle down in a home
in Berlin.
