NIGHT GAME

Chicago, 111., Sept. 2<>—The Ne
gro All-Stars who were sebcted
By a nation wide poll to partici
pate in the 1st Charity game un
der the lights of Soldiers Field
Friday night Sept. 23rd, were out
classed and out played by the Chi
cago Bears to a tune of fil to 0. In
the first quarter the Professionals
made the All-Stars look as if they
were standing still. Fans from all
paits of the country were on hand
to see the undertrained colored
stars go down under the line drives
of the Chicago team. The All-Stars
threatened only once in the third
quarter when Ozzie Simmons
sneaked through lino for a gain of
12 yards, from then on it was the
Bears all the way. The Bears
nutweighted the All-Stars in eveiy
department. The fact ig that tho
Bears have been organized for
several years and they also have
some of the outstanding players
in the country on their squad, so J
this is one reason why our team |
was scored on go often. The other
reason is that the all-stars had
not been training but for about
ten days and the Bears have been
training all summer. So give the
all-stars just two more years and
they will reverse that score. More
power to the All-Stars, coached by
Duke Slater, Ray Kemp, Ozzie
Simmons and Windy Wallace .

TO KEEP YOU OUT
OF TROUBLE—
Privileged Communications
In a court action it is not only
the trickery of the opposing law.
yer that an attorney has to fear
—but also the trickery or evas
iveness of his own client which can
be just as dangerous. Many a
client loses an honest ase by tink
ering with the truth. If you have
a good lawyer whom you trust
tell him everything. Failure to do
this is just as silly as concealing
your symptoms and habits from
your doctor—It’s your healt' at
stake, not the doctor’s. More
good cases are lost on account of
evasiveness, I believe, than for any
other reason.
Not long ago a lawyer lost a
perfectly good case because' the
opposition sprung a witness on
him for which he was utterly un
prepared. The lawyer asked his
client afterwards. “Why didn’t
you tell me you had once corres
ponded with that man.”—‘That
was years ago and I thought he
had probably lost the Utters,’’ she
said. “So I didn’t tell you because
I thought perhaps you might lose

confidence in my case.”
There is no power which can
force a lawyer to tell what his I
client has told him—-It is what is
known as a privileged communi
cation, and is of the highest confi
dential nature, and will never be
told unless the client releas s the
lawyer. So remember that when
you go to your lawyer seeking »
advice.
Ev.n though the marriage may
be dissolved by death or divorce,
conversations between a husband
and wife ure also privileged.

CRIMINAL LAW—Drib ry
Bribery is a criminal offense—
and the offense is complete when
any attempt is made to influence
an officer in his official conduct,
wh: ther in the judic'al, executive
or legislative department of the
government by effer of a reward
or pecuniary consideration.
And the offer to accept a bribe
is equally criminal. It is no de
fens to plead that the official or
the body of which he was a mem
| be.1} had the authority by law to
---—- I
do the thing sought to be accom. '
plish by the bribe. And it does i
not matter whether a vote if pro
cured by bribery produced the de
sired result or not, nor dots it
matter whether the official con
duct of ar officer produces the de
sired result or not. And it has
been held that where two magis
trates agreed to vote for the can
didate of the other, that the same
principle applied.
O.S.S. BOISE TO VISIT
LIBERIA
Washington I). C., Oet. 1-—
The Navy Department has an
nounced that the shakedown cruise
of the newly commissioned 10,000
ton. cruiser BOISE will begin on
October 12 and will include inform
al courtesy calls at two ports in
Africa. The Boise is scheduled to
visit Monrovia, the seaport capital
of Liberia, from October 24 to
October 27, and Capetown, Union
of South Africa, for the week be
gining November 6.
There are a number of reasons
why the visit of the Boise to Li
beria is of interest at this time.
Tho Unite ! States Government has
completed n'^ns for a modern Le
gation building at Monrovia, de_
signed especially for tropical con
ditions, to take the place cf the
rented, structure occupied at pre
sent, and contsruction is to start
shortly. It is planned to dedicate
the site of the new Legation build
ing at the time of the visit of
the Boise, with appropriate cere
monies commenorating the occas
ion.
For some time there has been
in the possession of the Plelps
Stokes Fund, a philanthropic or
ganization which for many years
has contributed actively to the ad
vancement of Liberia, the surviv
1 ing portions of the bunting from
which the first flag of the Re_
j public of Liberia was made. As a
special gusture of good will, the
trustees of the Fund have decided
to prepare this material in a form
suitable for donation to the Liber
! ian Government and the historic
^ relic will be carried to Monrovia on
the Boise for nres°rtation follow
ing the arrival of the vessel in
that port.
The Republic of Liberia has al
ways been bound to the United
States by close and traditional ties
of friendship. In 1822 American
freedmen established their first
settlement near what is now Mon

rcvia, and during the period pre
ceding the Civil War many emi
grants left this country under the
auspices of the American Coloni
zations to join the colonists, on
the West Coast of Africa. Henry
Clay, as well as Madison, Monroe
and numerous other distingiushed
American,s became an active sup.
porter of this movement. In 1847
a group of the West African set
tlements united to adopt a con
stitution modeled on what of the
United States and a Declaration
of Independence was issued on July
26 of that year. American citizens
hav0 since maintained their early
interest and sympathy for the
young republic.
The first treaty between the
United States and Liberia was
signed in 1862, after the outbreak
of our Civil War, and was rati
fied and proclaiming in 1863. This
treaty was recently replaced by the
signing on August 8 ,1938 of a
new Treaty of Friendship, Com.
merte and Navigation. The visit
of the Boise to Monrovia there
fore coincides with the seventy
fifth anniversary of the initiatian |
of treaty relationships between j
the two governments. In view of
this fact, and considering the re
markable progress made by Li.
beria in the last few years under
President Edwin Barclay, the oc
casion is expected to be something
of a landmark in the history of
the relations between the two
countries.
The last visit of a United States
naval vessel to Liberia took place
in 1928.

Put on Big League
‘Preview”
New York Sept. 26, Negro base
ball stars kept out of the big lea
gues by Jim crow, put on a great
show yesterday for 15,000 fans at
the Polo grounds.
It was the Eastern All-Stars a„
gainst the Western, with the form
er winning in the tenth, 5-4, but
the main thing wasn’t the result of
the game but the brand of ball up
to prove that what so many sport
writers and fans and big league
players have been saying is more
than true—that many Negro ball
players are good enough to step
right into the big leagues and
star.
t Fifteen thousand fans Negro an
white, applauded the sensational
play of such aces as pitchers Ray
Brown, Johnny Taylor and A1
Trent, a trio that would look sweet
on any big league pitching staff,
Josh Gibson, slugging catcher

and Wright, outfielders.
The American League stars,
composed of players of the Negro
team of the West and South took
the lead, tallying one in each of the
fourth and fifth off Johnny Tay
lor after Ray Brown had pitched
thrce beautiful innings, fanning
six. A fit of wildness cost the first
tally and Burt Johnson’s rap into
the right field stands for home
run scored the s<?cond.
Two more A. L. tallies came in
the seventh ar.d then the power
laden National batting order
caught up to A1 Trent who had
been pitching a beautiful game,
holding the East for six innings
with masterful control and curves
that exploded.
In the eight however, Wells,
walked, Dun ripped a double to
right to score the fleet shortstop
Barney Brown singled to left scor
ing Dunn, Bill Wright doubled off
the right field wall and Ches Wil

both with the tying runs.
In the tenth Brutan relieved Ted

over the winning run.
Fast fielding and all around

Unemployment
Compensation—
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 29—Ne
braska employers subject to the
Nebraska Unemployment Compen
sation law do not cease to be li
able under the terms of the law
immediately when their employ
ment rolls fall below the mini
mum requirement of eight or more
employees it was pointed out today
in a statement issued by R. T.
Malone, Director of the Nebraska
Unemployment Compensation Div
ision.
“Every quarter when contribu
tions are due we receive letters
from a few employers who send
in blank contribution reports,
stating that they are now below
the minimum requirement of
eight or more workers and are no
longer subject,” said Mr. Malone.
“When an employer has become
subject to the Nebraska Unemploy
ment Compensation law by reason
of his having employed eight or
more workers in twenty or more
weeks during a calendar year, he
remains subject to the law for a
minimum of two years, regardless
of how few workers he employs
the second year.”
