MAN IN VIRGINIA
(Special to The Tribune)
PORTSMOUTH, Va—The visit c.f
a party of white men, last night at
10:30 o’clock, 'to the home of B.
Trant, colored, on Key Road, at the
Seaboard Air Line Railway crossing,
about Iwo mites south of Portsmouth,
precipitated a rpm* battle. So far as
the county police were able to learn,
nobody was wounded.
A Star automobile found near the
scene was confiscated by Deputy
Sheriff Smijth and Officer A. S.
Chase. In a package in the car. the
officers said, were found two long I
white robes and two cornucopia caps.
Although a claimant, who had pre-|
viottsly reported a car stolen, appear-1
ed at the jail early this morning for
the car, it was ordered held pending
further investigation by the police.
According to the story told by
Trant, someone rapped on his door
at 10:30 o'clock. When he opened the
door he was seized by three white
men and dragged toward three auto
mobiles that were parked before the
house. When he resisted and scream
ed for help, he said, one of the men
struck him with a heavy stick, and
somebody from one of the cars cried
out. *KillGiim.”
Trant's son, W. F\ Trant, who lives
next door, rushed to his father's aid
with a shotgun. He opened fire, shoot
ing six times. The white men fled
to the automobiles, and returned the
fire, apparently with revolvers. The
three cars sped away, but the Star
machine ran off a bridge a short
distance from Trent’s (home. The
occupants jumped out and ran.
When Deputy Smith and Officer
Chase reached the scene, upon being
notified by telephone, shots were be
ing fired promiscuously in the neigh
borhood. and the residents seemed in
a highly perturbed state.

NEGRO DEMOCRATS OF
CHICAGO HAVE FORMED
PARTY ORGANIZATION
(Preston News Service)
CHICAGO, 111.—Under the leader
ship of Attorney A. E. Patterson, at
one time a Democratic nominee for
the position of Register of the U. S
Treasury. Negro Democrats of Chi
cago are said to have formed an or
ganization advocating loyalty to the
Democratic Party and its candidates
during the coming campaign. It is
said that one objective will be to
break the traditional policy of sup
porting candidates of the G. O. P.
One of the first acts of the new or
ganization will be to protest the ap
pointment of C. Bascom Slemp, as
Secretaary to President Coolidge.
Another Unique Supper—
On Tuesday night, Sept. 11, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Webster Davis,
1442 East Monroe street, there was
given one of the most unique suppers
ever served in Arizona. Not a sup
per like Mother used to cook, but one
like Mother tried to cook and couldn’t.
This supper was cooked and served
by men exclusively. It was known as
Father’s cooking. Maryland fried
chicken, red hot biscuits and all the
trimmings that go to make a com
plete supper, were served, and the
beauty of it is that every one in
Phoenix ,was invited: The supper
was given for the benefit of the C.
M. E. church, and was managed by
Webster Davis and Matthew White,
class leaders. Everyone was agree
ably surprised. Ice cream and cake
galore.

A Real Booster—
Attorney Robt. L. Fortune, our pop
ular colored lawyer, whose offices
are in the Dorris Building, 35 East
Washington street, is quietly boosting
Phoenix .and the Valley. He is car
rying an advertisement in the Black
Dispatch of Oklahoma City and invit
ing all who want to come west to
write him for information about Ari
zona. He has received many replies
and doubtless will be the means of
bringing some good citizens to Phoe
nix. He is in receipt of a letter from
Mr. T. E. Campbell, supervisor of
agriculture at Tuskegee Institute,
stating that he will be in Phoenix
soon to look over some farm lands
with a view to bringing a group of
real farmers to this section. Through
the influence of Attorney Fortune the
editor of the leading Race paper in
Oklahoma, who recently visited Phoe
nix, is boosting Phoenix and the Salt
River Valley in his publication and
using all his influence to induce
some of the wealthy colored men of
that state to come to Arizona and
invest part of their capital. Oklahoma
has more Colored millionaires than
any state in the Union, due to the
fact that so many have discovered oil
on their land.

Turns Benedict—
It is reported from reliable sources
that the old veteran, I. W. Hayes,
stole a march on his friends during
his visit to the coast this summer and
annexed the missing rib. When asked
by a Tribune reporter to verify the
report, M 4 Hayes laughed
and indicated that it was the report
er’s business to find out for himself.
The reporter, having an ear for news,
got busy and satisfied himself that
there was something to the report
and he wishes to inform Tribune read
ers that they need not be surprised to
see a demure little widow come to
Phoenix this winter to be mistress
of the Hayes home. "BUI” Hayes,
as he is called by his friends, is too
foxy to be caught with the goods, but
we think we have'his number.

State Supper a Success—
A novel affair was presented last
week at the C. M. E. church in the
form of a state supper. Various
states were represented and the favor
ite dish of that particular state was
served. Louisiana was represented
by that famous dish called 'Gumbo”
, and judging from the way it sold,
most of the people were from Louisi
i ana. Texas of course, and Alabama,
as well as Georgia, were represented
and good sales were made by all the
. ladies at the different tables. The
■ Louisiana table, we believe, won the
; prize. It ’was surprising that Texas,
; represented by fried chicken and hot
, biscuits, should lose to 'Louisiana on
, an occasion such as this. It’s the
; way of the west, we presume.
