URBAN LEAGUE STARTS SURVEY IN CHICAGO Chicago.—The Chicago League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, with offices at 3719 South State St., is making a preliminary survey of the city with a view of securing co-oper ation among the welfare organizations touching Negro life and getting the needed agencies established. Special efforts will be made to aid the almost 30,000 Negroes recently migrating to Chicago from the South to adjust themselves to the acquirements of modem city life. T. Arnold Hill has been selected as acting executive sec retary of the local organization until the permanent secretary is secured. Pr. Robert E. Park of the University of Chicago is president of the organ ization. ANDERSON WINS NOMINATION Chicago, March 15—In a five-cor nered race, Louis B. Anderson, assist ant corporation counsel, won the Re publican nomination for alderman in the Second ward, having over 2700 votes to spare. William Anderson, William R. Cowan, Ferdinand L. Bar nett and Louis Lettiere were the un successful opponents. The election will take place in April, and as the Second ward is overwhelm ingly Republican, Mr. Anderson seems reasonably sure of election. He will take the place of Oscar DePriest, who has been indicted for alleged connec tion with the graft ring. The position pays $3,000 a year. WHITE WRITER SCORES SOUTH In a recent letter written to a news paper against “The Birth of a Nation” film, Frank A. Agnew closes his let ter with the following words, which score the South’s treatment of North ern white men: “It is an insult to every law-abiding citizen of this great republic to have the doings of the outlaw organization known as the Ku Klux Klan exhibited for their edification today. I have wondered that some of the old Union soldiers have not denounced such an exhibition to Northern audiences. The exhibit would not be made if it was not for a purpose. What that purpose is we can only guess at this time. There are no more courteous people than the people of the South in exist * AMUSEMENTS * *■»..« ..... ■.
