Chicago Rated Second
In Negro Population

contains 5000 more souls than all
the state of Wyoming.
Black Chicago contains more peo-
pie than all the principal cities of the
state of Mississippi combined II is
larger than any city in Arkansas.
Florida. South or North Carolina,
| Virginia or Oklahoma.
1t is twice as large as the city of
Port au Prince. capital of the Repub-
lie of Haiti.
Philly Third
In 1920 the city of Philadelphia
contained $4,000 Negroes. as
against $4,000 in 1890. In 1920.
the city of Baltimore had a Negro
population of 10000. as against
$4,000 in 1880. Thus in the ten
year race for population between ci-
ties, Chicago caught up with Phila-
delnhia and now leads that city by
$4,000. Baltimore, which was dog
ging her heels in 1920. is tagging
behind by $1,000.
Word From New York
Chicago is now eagerly awaiting
word from the census bureau about
New York. So much has been heard
about the great city of the east, that
Harlem. in the last ten years. that
the big baby of the middle west. can
not be sure that she has passed her
eastern rival. The Negro population
of New York in 1920 was 152. 1000.
In order to equal Chicago. she will
have had to have added 81 900 to
her population. That would be phen-
omenal, as was the growth of Phila-
delphia, which added $4,000 new col
ored citizens
A preliminary estimate of the 1890
population of New York, made for
the woofter report. credited the city
with 100000 Negroes. That figure
may be under or over the actual num-
her, final report upon which is ex-
pected by the ninth of July.
The total Chicago population of
all races is 3.373.43S. There are
115,4SS colored males and 11S,415
eolored females: 1896 colored folk
are over 81, and therefore eligible to
vote.

HOPE DELAY
TO TRAFFIC
AT END soon
New Regulations Will
Increase Tourists
To Valley

Mexico Is now working out a set
OF uniform regulations governing
the entry Of tourist automobiles
and for planes into that republic
at all ports or entry. which will
greatly facilitate the passage Of
tourists through here.
This was the information brought
back TO Brownsville BY O.. c. Rich
ardson. manager OF the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce. who has
been in Mexico City for about a
week working on this matter.
Consid< Airplanes
AS a result or the efforts OF Mr..
Richardson and others interested
in this matter a committee consist
ing OF John II. Yeaman, manager
Of the American Chamber Of Com
merce in Mexico City, and Jose
Rivera r., of the department Of
public relations Is now working out
a new set of regulations governing
the entry OF tourist automobiles
and airplanes at al Mexico ports
OF entry.
These regulations will greatly
simplify passage Of vehicles into
Mexico. and will. it Is believ v
solve the problem OF getting PR
vate airplanes through here into
Mexico without long delay such as
has been experienced in the past.
This committee will make ks re-
ports within ten days. Mr.. Rich
ardson said. and the new regula-
ticns are expected to be announced
and put into effect soon after that
time.
Mr.. Richardson talked W a
number Of other officials In TEX
leo City in working out this prob
lem. having several conferences
with General Tapia, chief Of the
customs in Mexico.
Entering al Laredo
AT the present time tourist auto
mobiles are entered through the
port or Nuevo Laredo with little
difficulty, the Laredo Chamber OF
Commerce. and the American
Automobile Association in Mexico
working together to handle the
situation there.
However il is difficult to pass
automobiles through other border
points, a bond being necessary IN
most instances. and 1t Is difficult at
times 10 get this bond. The bond
also Is expensive az other ports,
where the Automobile Association
does not operate.
The new regulations are expected
to greatly encourage tourist traf-
fic through all border ports. and
will prepare the way for heavy
traffic through Brownsville as
highways into Mexico are inn
proved.
