VARD, IN CHICAGO, ISSUE
SOLEMN WARNING.
VALUES SUFFERED BIG DROP
Claim $250,000,000 Already Lost On
Fashionable Street Because of
"Encroachments" of the '
Black Man.
Chkago.-The first organized step
to stop the encroachment of negroes
on exclusive residence streets was
taken by 1,200 wealthy property hold
ers of Grand boulevard. They formed
an association and pledged $25,000 to
fight the negroes. Negroes already in
the neighborhood were warned they
must leave and real estate men were
told they must not deal with negroes.
Strong feeling was expressed at the
meeting. John P. Bowles, treasurer
of the Grand Boulevard association,
warned the negroes they must evacu
ate the territory.
"The blacks are going to give us a
lot of talk, but they'll not bluff us,"
he said. "I want to tell you people
that there will not be an insurance
company that will care to take a risk
in this section if we say the word.
No banker will make a loan to an un
desirable and no real estate dealer
will dare to make a sale.
"I am not against the black man,"
Mr. Bowles continued, "but I don't
want him for my neighbor. Since tie
necro started to invade Grand boule
vard property values have fallen $250,-
000.000. My own homo cojt $25,000 to
build, but today I cannot realize $8,000
on It In the open market."
Harry Fox, president of the Ken
wood and Hyde Park Property Own
ers' association, who preceded Bowles
on the floor, said:
"We will grant the negro full jus
tice. We will aid in securing for him
better housing facilities, equitable
working conditions and good schools,
but we will not stand for any haran
guing on hi3 constitutional rights and
social equality to your detriment and
mine."
Alderman TJ. S. Schwartz advised
the gathering that the law hampered
their action.
"But there are things that can be
done," he said. "There is more than
a money loss involved here."

ATTORNEY GENERAL WARNS RE'

NOT BE EXCEEDED.
INVESTIGATION WAS MADE
Beet Sugar Producers Have Been Hold
ing Their Product Off the Mar
ket, But Must Now Sell At
Fixed Price.
Washington. Steps to prevent an
abnormal increase in the price of sugar
because of the existing shortage were
taken by the department of justice.
Attorney General Palmer notified
beet sugar refiners.who have been with
holding their products from the mar
ket until the price situation became
more stabilized, that the United States
sugar equalization board had deter
mined 10 cents was a fair price to be
charged the wholesaler and that any
charge in excess of that amount would
be regarded as in violation of the food
control act.
Refiners were asked to telegraph
thai concurrence in this price, which
would mean they would put their sup
ply on the market immediately, there
by relieving the present stringency.
Attorney General Palmer made pub
lic the following telegram sent to he
beet sugar refiners: .
"After thorough investigation by the
recognized authorities on sugar, the
United States sugar equalization board
have notified the department of justice
of the following facts:
"As a considerable part of the coun
try generally supplied at this time of
the year with beet sugar may be em
barrassed because of the beet sugar
factories' failure to sell beet sugar as
produced, and this condition in turn
is due to the uncertainty regarding
price, our judgment is that no higher
price than 10 cents cash less 2 per cent
seaboard basis is justified and we hope
that you will decide at once to begin
marketing your sugar on this basis and
relieve the very serious situation.
" 'The price of IQV2 cents cash f. 0. b.
plant, which has been offered by the
sugar equalization board for sugars in
excess of requirements in your terri
tory as shown by your 1917 deliveries
as a minimum up to 50,000 tons for No
vember and December shipments to re
lieve acute shortage among the manu
facturers east, is not to be considered
a precedent or basis for local prices.'
"I ask you to make your announce
ment of prices based on the above. The
department of justice will treat as an
unjust charge any price in excess of
this, and consider such a charge a vio
lation of section 4 of the Lever food
control act. a 3 amended."
