Bear Cat" Baker Loses
Heavyweight Title

George "Bearcat" Baker, colored
boxer of Riverton did not hold his
Northwest championship honors very
long. He lost mis- title Thursday
night to Cyclone Thompson, former
holder of the belt in hectic six
round go at White Center. Baker
was saved by the bell from the ig-
nominy of knockout. To his credit
he came back and held Thompson
fairly even the rest of the way. 1t
looks as though Baker is being badly
advised by his handlers.

Seward is not only situated right geographically for the conference of the Home Missions Council which being called for next August but at the time the gorgeous summer will bathe our mountains in all their beauty and the hulning birds will be gathering honey from lowered fields In August when the States are pantng in gaspng heat up here will be getting
 real summer that is not too hot too cold. 1t will be just right
 Of course the conferees are coming for solemn business discussion but nevertheless the leaping trout in the streams will not have heard of it. Those visitors from the States who will to discuss ecclesiastical affairs and the frtherence of mission work in the Ter ritory may well find few hours from assembly dis cusson to wander in sylvan beauty, the like of which is not vouchsafed elsewhere on the globe
 Furthermore it would seem, in all justice to the vast spread of Alaska that central point be selected for the conference that delegates from the various ms sions to be represented at the council have little travelling to do as possible With it's Jesse Lee Home Seward has of the biggest missions in Alaska. The Council has never honored with visit We believe it fitting that they select this city for big conference next summer, and we can assure them welcome in which there will De no disappointments.

CHICAGO.-When visitors from
all over the world come to Chieago's
World Fair in 1888, they will be
coming to the second, and maybe the
first, largest Negro city In the world.
They will come to Negro city that
is larger in point of numbers than
the Athens of old Greece or the old
Rome that was built upon seven
hills.
According to figures Just released
by the United States census bureau.
Chicago contained 233,903 Negroes
In April. 1880.
The figure for 1920 was 1O9,45S,
and the increase during the decade
has been just 113.7 per cent, or near
ly six times the rate of increase OF
the white citizens, which was 20.4
per cent.
Thus the Negro city of Chicago IL
larger than, or approximately as
large as the following well-known
cities: Providence, II. l.; Atlanta.
Ga; Jacksonville, Fla; Richmond.
Va; birmingham, Ala; Des Moines,
Ia; Hartford. Conn. Kansas City,

Pickens Flags Reds
In His Dixie Speech

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-Repre-
senting the N. A. A. C. P. i'm the
Scottsboro (Ala.) trial of nine boys
for the alleged rape of two white
girl hoboes, William Pickens spoke
Sunday night at st. Paul A. M. E.
Church. He said.
THE communists have corralled,
abducted, fenced in and hidden out
the relatives of the Negro youths to
prevent them being reached by
agents of law-abiding organizations
which aim to conduct the defense.
They have poisoned the minds of
these humble and helpless Negro peo-
pie concerning the honesty and mo-
tives of the state, the courts and
even of the noncommunist Negro
leaders. In Chattanooga they are re-
ported even to have advised the Ne
groes under their influence to COM
NIT violence against any noncom-
munist who may approach them on
this matter.
LET the white people of Alabama
and the South sit up and take no.
tice; This communist sapping through
the densely ignorant portion of the
colored population, while not imme-
diately menacing to government it
self, certainly is most menacing to
good race relations"
Communists report that they hec-
killed. Mr. Pickens and declined to
leave when police were called.
