The Broad Ax

President Warren G. Harding Died at San Francisco, Thursday Evening at 9:53 P.M. EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Attorney Augustus L. Williams Scored Another Great Legal Victory On Last Monday Morning; Hon. George Fred Rush, of the Circuit Court, Handed Down His Final Decree or Decision; That Mrs. Blanch Carter, Must be Paid the Fourteen-Hundred Dollars, Which She Had Lost in a Shady Real Estate Deal. MR. WILLIAMS, IN HIS GREAT LEGAL FIGHT FOR MRS. CARTER, RAN CLEAR AWAY WITH ATTORNEY PETER SISSMAN, MEMBER OF THE LAW FIRM OF DARROW AND SISSMAN, AND THE OTHER ABLE LAWYERS IN THE CASE. Vol XXVIII Attorney Legal Vi Rush, of or Decis teen-Hur Estate D MR. WILLIAMS, IN THE FIGHT FOR ME CLEAR AWAY PETER SISSMAN LAW FIRM OF D MAN, AND THE YERS IN THE C The first of October, 1920, Mrs. Blanch Carter, bought a six-flat building located at 4527 and 4529 Prairie avenue, through the South Side Realty Co. or Investment Co., at 520 East 39th street. Mr. Arthur Griffin standing at the head of the company, Mrs. Carter was to pay twenty thousand dollars for the building and grounds, but before she paid any money down on the property she secured the legal services of Attorney G. C. Adams to represent her in the business transaction and just as Mrs. Carter was ready to close the deal, it is claimed that lawyer Adams informed or represented to her that the leases on the six flats had run out, that all that she would have to do would be to pay down the two thousand dollars and that she would, without the slightest trouble, come into possession of the building and everything looked bright and rosy for Mrs. Carter and she willingly parted with her two thousand dollars. It is said that after she had paid in the two thousand dollars that lawyer Adams informed her that as her lawyer he would notify the six white tenants who were then occupying the flats to move, which they did not do and some claim that he never notified them to move and shortly after that time Mr. Adams gently broke the news to Mrs. Carter that she would be compelled to resort to the courts in order to get the six white tenants out of the building. It appears that five hundred dollars of the two thousand dollars which Mrs. Carter paid in went for commissions and it is contended that half of that sum of money found its way into the pockets of lawyer Adams, aside from the thirty-five or forty dollars which Mrs. Carter paid him for his tricky and very doubtful legal services and after she had learned the true state of affairs and that with safety she would no longer be guided by the unsound legal advice of lawyer Adams she dropped him and secured the legal services of Attorney Alva L. Bates. After Attorney Bates had looked the legal troubles of Mrs. Carter up one side and down the other side and all around he freely admitted or confessed to her that she had no standing in the courts of this city or county; that she had no case and that she never would be able to get one dollar of her two thousand dollars back in her pocket and that he was unable to do her any good. Then Mrs. Carter, after many misgivings, called on the Hon. Edward H. Morris, who is one of the ablest lawyers in this city and consulted with him in relation to the crooked real estate deal in which she had been caught to the tune of two thousand dollars and after listening to her story he finally informed her that the only way on earth for her to get her two thousand dollars back was to start in and collect the rents on the building, otherwise she would simply be fighting the winds and that the fates were against her attempt to re-secure her money or to come into the ownership of the building. On the advice of Mr. Morris, Mrs. Carter collected in as rents a fraction over five hundred dollars, still leaving her more than fourteen hundred dollars in the hole. At that point Mr. Benjamin Paresky, owner, of the building, stopped her from collecting any more rents, not knowing what to do or hardly how to turn and being in the greatest despair, Mrs. Carter at last wended her way to the law offices of Attorney Augustus L. Williams, 184 West Washington street, who is ever ready to light real hard and long in the interest of his many clients and after relating everything in connection with her troubles, Mr. Williams decided to take her case, at the same time he informed Mrs. Carter, that it might take three years before she would recover her fourteen hundred dollars, but, if he lived that he would surely get every cent of it for her. Before moving forward it might be well to also state that Lawyers Adams and Bates started two suits in the Municipal Court of Chicago. One fell to the lot of Judge Samuel H. Trude and a jury and the other to Judge Harry C. Moran. Judge Trude ran out from under Messrs. Adams and Bates and in the long run they made no headway with Judge Moran. Mrs Carter also lost possession of the building through Messrs. Adams and Bates. Mr. Williams, paying no attention to all the muddle and nixup which Messrs. Adams and Bates had gotten Mrs. Carter into, started right in and filed a suit on the Chancery side of the Circuit Court of Cook County, claiming that everything in connection with the whole transaction was tainted with gross fraud; that he wanted the deed set aside and so on. For almost three years Mr. Williams was cited into court on one pretext or another in connection with the case. In the meantime, Col. Franklin A. Denison filed a case in the Superior Court in the interest of Mrs. Blanche Woodard who was supposed to hold a ten-year lease on the six-flat building which still had five years to run from that time and it was said that she had sold the furniture and sub-leased the building to Mrs. McAvoy. The owner of the building, Mr. Paresky, was unable to prove that last statement in court. As Mrs. Carter says that from the very first day that Mr. Williams entered the fight for her against so many able lawyers she never expected that he would be able to stand up and bitterly fight the whole bunch of them single handed and alone, neither did she expect that he would recover every cent of the fourteen hundred dollars for her. So it was a wonderful surprise to her last Monday when her phone rang and Mr. Williams on the other end of the wire informed her to call at his law offices either that afternoon or on Tuesday morning and receive her check calling for fourteen hundred dollars. Mrs. Carter did not and could not believe that he was telling her the truth for the news seemed too good to be true, but in a very short time she was fully convinced that it was really true for on that same Monday morning Hon. George Fred Rush, sitting in Chancery in the Circuit Court of Cook County, wound up the whole case after Mr. Williams had THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE After More Than Three Years of Hard Legal Fighting, on the Part of Her Attorney, Mr. Augustus L. Williams, She Has Finally Succeeded in Securing Fourteen Hundred Dollars Which She Was Tricked Out of in a Crooked Real Estate Deal, and Mrs. Carter Feels That She Will Never Be Able to Stop Thanking Mr. Williams for the Great Legal Services Which He Has so Faithfully Rendered Her in Connection With Her Long Fight in the Courts for the Right. tought so long and after he had been rushed from court to court by Messrs. Denison, Sissman and the other able lawyers in the case. Judge Rush declaring that the whole real estate transaction was tainted with gross fraud right on its face and that the owner of the property, Mr. Benjamin Paresky, must write out a check in open court for Attorney Augustus L. TRICKERY OF POLITICS By Dr. M. A. Majors We are not to be hog tied to the Republican party any more. We used to worship it and carry its principles very near to our hearts, but here of recent years men have come into power by the solid Negro vote, and no sooner did they get in office we were forgotten, their promises were forgotten and we got the laugh for a while. Well that old chestnut has gone forever and we are studying men and their principles and are giving less serious thought to the party to which they belong. As a rule the Republicans bring out superior men for office, but now and then they put up an inferior man as a candidate and we have been slow in learning our political lessons. We have heretofore been such hide bound, dyed in the wool republicans that no force of good reasoning has ever entered into the equation. Occasionally men like Gov. Dunne and Judge Dever have been brought out by the democrats, and yet strange as it may appear, such men have always been given hearty support by a large number of us. This is as it should be. We know what the G. O. Party has MRS. BLANCH CARTER Than Three Years of Hard Legal Her Attorney, Mr. Augustus L. W.

At the end of the long drawn out trial Mrs. Carter states that Mr. Griff fin and Mrs. Woodard stood by her, testifying for her and doing everything that they possibly could to aid her to recover her money which she thought was lost forever until Mr. Williams saved the day for her, and Mrs. Ca- done for us and we have some faint recollection what the Negro has done for it. Hereafter the public will have to guess again where the Negro stands. We are in the political game because we have seen how the present National administration has acted toward us as a race by leaving us to the mercies of Georgia, South Carolina, and the rest of the South. Our friends are mostly in the cemetery. There are yet a very few proportion who think kindly of us. In the main and upbnd divers occasions we have been lied to because we heretofore have been the easy prey to every jackall that wore the label of republican. BEG YOUR PARDON It was stated in the last issue of this newspaper that Col. or Mr. Madison Davis Carey, the pampered son of Bishop and Mrs. Archibald James Carey did not have a lawyer at the time that Judge Denis E. Sullivan sent him over on the North Side and right into the Cook County jail house for his utter failure to pay up his back alimony to his former wife, Mrs. Carey for the support of their four children, that was a mistake on our part for Attorney W. H. Jamison of ter wants the world to know that she can never get through in loudly sounding the praises of Lawyer Williams, and she honestly believes that he is one of the very best fighting lawyers in the United States. Mrs. Carter, who is a preposing real widdow, owns a nice three-flat building at 533 E. 41st street and she is a very pleasant lady to meet. the law firm of Patterson & Jamison appeared in court for Col. or Mr. Carey but Mr. Jamison was unable to keep him out of jail. NEGRO APPOINTED ASSISTANT U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY Newark, N. J.—The appointment of Assemblyman Oliver Randolph, colored lawyer, of 164 Market street, to be an Assistant U. S. District Attorney for New Jersey with headquarters at Newark, will be made within a few days, according to a statement by United States Senator Walter E. Edge, in a letter to the chairman of the Essez Republican County Committee. HIBERNIANS ARE URGED TO WAGE WAR ON KU KLUX Montreal.-The Ancient Order of Hibernians was urged at Thursday's session of its convention to wage war on the Ku Klux Klan. Mrs. Carrie Warner, 3822 Calumet avenue, expects to depart on a two week's pleasure trip to New York City August 6, and after returning from the east, she will spend the remainder of her vacation at her summer home at Idlewild, Mich. 200 NEGRO PREACHERS MEET AT BETTIS ACADEMY Hon. J. H. Hope, Hon. James Sheppard, Dr. J. H. Dillard, Principal Gregg, and Jackson Davis Speak at Fifth Annual Institute—Preachers and Teachers Cooperate—Well-Balanced Program. Hampton, Va.-The fifth annual preachers' institute, which was recently held for-four days at Bettis Academy, Trenton, S. C., of which Alfred W. Nicholson is president, brought together an average daily attendance of nearly two hundred rural preachers, seventy-five colored teachers, and many friends of rural teachers and preachers. About one hundred and sixty preachers lived on the Bettis Academy grounds and were excellently cared for by friends living in the community. Throughout the institute there prevailed a spirit of Christian service. Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater boards, rector of William and Mary College, and member of the General Education Board, first carried into action, during the summer of 1919, at Bettis Academy a plan for reaching and helping rural colored preachers, who are unquestionably the most powerful leaders among their people. These leaders, however, have been and still are severely handicapped in their spiritual work on account of the general lack of training. Doctor Dillard's plan, summer after summer, has been to bring to the colored preachers of western South Carolina—men eagerly seeking the truth—some white and some colored teachers who could understand the everyday problems of the rural preachers and who would teach the truth of Christian thought and work in simple speech and with the love of God and men in their hearts. Better Teamwork The recent institute was the best of the series. The preachers attended the meetings more promptly and regularly. They asked a greater number of worth-while questions concerning the work which they had been doing and the work which the visiting teachers believed should be done. They expressed more frankly their ideas of what could be done to improve racial co-operation and good feelings between white people and colored people. They came in large numbers for the opening meeting and they remained in larger numbers for the final meeting. They looked more prosperous, in spite of the bad effects of the boll-wavevil in their home communities and the exodus of many of their church members. They understood more clearly what they could do by working together, to help bring in the Kingdom of God. The following regular courses were given: "The Background of Christian Preaching," J. E. Gregg; "The Minister's Correspondence," B. C. Caldwell; "Sthday Schools," T. B. Lanham; "The Price of Health," W. A. Aery; "The Church and the Neighborhood," Jackson Davis; "Church Business and Records," W. T. B. Williams; and "How to Read the Bible," J. H. Dillard. The preachers began the day's work with a six o'clock prayer-meeting. Devotional exercises, with brief talks by visitors, were held each morning at 11:15 o'clock. Each evening at 8:15 o'clock there special lectures on subjects of interest and value to preachers and teachers Doctor Dillard, in opening the institute, said: "We all need to make constant effort to improve ourselves. We can all give some help to other people. All of us bear our proper burdens. We need to improve ourselves in body. We need to make our bodies stronger, cleaner, purer. We must improve our home surroundings as well as our minds. We must strengthen ourselves in fellowship for our fellow-men." Jackson Davis said: "The teachers and ministers are making rural life throughout the South more attractive and are developing the neighborhood sense." W. T. B. Williams of Tuskegee Institute, stated that he had visited eleven summer schools for colored teachers and had found three thousand teachers at work. Education Makes Progress Hon. James Sheppard, member of the South Carolina Legislature from Edgefield County, expressed his amazement at the progress which colored people have made along all lines since their emancipation. "I find," he said, "that Negro children are anxious to get an education. I find that Negroes are furnishing much money for their own schools. I have been deeply impressed with the splendid work of Doctor Wilkinson at the State A. and M. College. I can see a great future for this school at Orangeburg." The Rev. Dr. Albert D. Betts of Beaufort, S. C., spoke on "Preaching a Balanced Gospel." He made a plea for thorough, hard work on the part of the preachers. "Speak the truth always," he said, "but speak it in love. We must let men see in our lives a glory that is not found outside of the Christian life." Doctor Dillard said: "We have started to get good high schools for Negroes. We hope to have one in every county of the South. We do not want the Negro schools to be one whit below the white schools. We hear this criticism everywhere: 'Negro children do not attend school as regularly as they should.' We must teach people to have their children in school and at school on time." Superintendent Hope Speaks Hon. J. H. Hope of Columbia, S. C., State superintendent of public instruction, said: "Nowhere is there a body of men who are trying harder than the Negro ministers to educate boys and girls. These Negro ministers are tireless workers for education. These men have not been appreciated as they should be. None of us, however, must grow tired of the task of teaching right morals to people, both young and old." "We must equip people for life in the schools. In these schools we must give people a broad training. Education, however, does not mean cessation from work. You and I owe it to our children to teach them how to be useful as well as ornamental. I am glad that you accepted the challenge of erecting each week one new school for colored children. We know that you are not in your work for the loaves and fishes.

I want all the children educated, regardless of race. We might as well try to raise ourselves by our bootstraps, if we do not educate colored children as well as white children." W. W. Fuller, superintendent of schools for Edgefield County, said: "We may raise quantities of cotton and corn, but if we do not know how to use the money which we receive from our cotton and corn, what does it proft us? We are living in the hope that we shall be able to give you additional educational advantages. We have been greatly handicapped because of the unprepared teachers. I want to urge teachers to prepare themselves to do better work." James L. Quinby of Graniteville, S. C., who for many years has been a trustee of Bettis Academy, said: "Bettis Academy has exerted a wonderful influence. This is shown by the lives and characters of those who have been trained here. The teachers and preachers are here to learn what they can do to prepare the rising generation to be better men and women." The institute program included the following addresses: "Campaign against Illiteracy," F. O. Black, superintendent of schools for Saluda County and Mary E. Hite of Rock Hill, S. C.; "Christian Living," B. F. Crouch of Saluda County; "Serving and Lifting People" and "Work of the Country Minister," Rev. G.

Doctor Dillard's closing words follow: "All have been working to do each other good, day by day. We must have faith to believe in the great hidden forces of the world; faith to believe that God will see that right will triumph."

PADDEN The Brilliant and Far-Seeing First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, Who Has Further Political Honors in Store for Him. By Dr. M. A. Majors Just as the surface of the ocean reveals to the observing traveler traces of wreckage, so does life's sea reveal human trash floating upon its surface. This has ever been so. The marauding forces of the lower elements of humanity are ever at work seeking like some dynamite power to destroy the good. Many a ship has gone down to the seas of oblivion because of the wreckage that lay in its path across the trackless deep; so to have many stalwart men and women in their sterner aspect of life become the object and prey of false friends deceiving bigots and lying degenerates. We read history and study the progress and upbuilding of nations, but we find in the construction of government itself the traitor and the marplot. The church bells ring, the believers in a risen Christ assemble but the torrent goes swiftly on baring its human wreckage. Ever and anou the scare headlines of the daily and weekly papers tell us the sad story of human misrepresentations, human mistakes and human misfits. Perhaps it is in the nature of things that the unfit seek low levels and in time become crowded out. Perhaps it is better for those who live not to be contaminated with the dying. Out of the remote past teeming with disorder and disorganization noted for its perfidy and turbulency have come all of the development and progress to bless civilization with its glamor of reform. So too may there be hope and refuge for all the human trash floating upon the surface of life's sea. In spite of this weight opposing the good, the world has progressed steadily upward and forward.

Christianity and the ennobling reaches of human intelligence must bring eventually a halo, a shower of human blessings over the waste places, of earth. The church bells will ring throughout the ages and a nobler people will assemble to hear God's word, the sorrowings and wailings will cease, the torrent will pass swiftly on baring less wreckage of human trash in its wake toward oblivion on life's sea.

FRANK M. PADDEN, THE FIRST ASSISTANT CORPORATION COUNSEL OF CHICAGO, WHO IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CITY OFFICIALS IN CHICAGO. FRANK PADDEN HONORED AT MEMORABLE BANQUET By Leonard J. Grossman, Assistant Corporation Counsel As we look through the dim vistas of the distant future, through the half-drawn folds of fleeting time, we predict that the banquet in honor of Frank M. Padden at the Lighthouse will long swing in the hammocks of the sad memories of every one who attended that impressive occasion. When Mr. Padden's name is writ larger and larger in the annals of his Party, as he is called to higher places of public service and public honor, this banquet will always be recalled as a great milestone in his career. No list of speakers, however eloquent, could have paid a more glowing tribute to the character and popularity of Mr. Frank Padden than the silent and perfect tribute paid him by the capacity crowd which filled the Lighthouse last Wednesday evening. The presence of the highest dignitaries in the service of the City spoke volumes. Corporation Counsel Hon. Francis X. Busch stirred the large audience with his eulogy of Mr. Padden. "Mr. Padden's appointment today as First Assistant Corporation Counsel is not a political appointment, but a promotion honestly won by splendid service as an Assistant Corporation Counsel prior to his elevation today," said Honorable Francis X. Busch. A platinum star was presented to Attorney Padden in the name of his associates of the City Law Department, and an engrossed copy of his formal certificate of appointment signed by Corporation Counsel Busch. A pall fell over the hundreds of guests assembled as Frank Padden broke down in tears in the midst of his remarks, "When I entered this hall tonight I was the happiest man in Chicago. Word has just reached me that makes it impossible for me to talk," said Mr. Padden, after acknowledging his appreciation of the occasion in his honor. Toastmaster Busch then called upon the Chairman of the evening, Assistant Corporation Counsel Leonard J. Grossman, who announced that word had been received of the untimely and sudden death of Judge Joseph R. W. Cooper, who was the Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements for the Padden dinner. "Clinging with the tenderness of an ivy vine, the affections of us all are entwined about Frank M. Padden whom we are met to honor tonight." --- said Mr. Grossman. He then said it was the wish of Mr. Padden and the colleagues of Judge Cooper on the staff of the Corporation Counsel that, in memory of Judge Cooper, and as a token of respect to his bereaved family, the festivities, as planned, be abandoned. Judge Cooper was described as "the artist who weaves the tapestry and modestly stands behind the tapestry he weaves," always pushing others out in front. Like Frank Padden, Judge Cooper has reared for himself an enduring monument in the hearts of all who knew him that will survive long after monuments of granite and of bronze have crumbled into dust. The banquet was perfectly planned, and in all of its arrangements was a lasting testimonial of the devotion of those who had it in charge to the man so deservedly honored. The following Committee on Arrangements had charge of the affair which was saddened by the death of former Judge Joseph R. W. Cooper, special Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago: Committee on Arrangements Leonard J. Grossman, chairman; C. Hjalmar Lundquist, Thomas A. Green, John J. Kelly, Harry P. Beam, Maurice J.

ASKS REMOVAL OF TUSKEEGE HOSPITAL COMMANDER Situation Called National Scandal in Letter to Harding Director General Hines, of the Veterans' Bureau, has been asked in a telegram sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to remove Colonel Robert H. Stanley, at present commanding the Government Hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee, Alabama. The demand follows disclosure of charges that Colonel Stanley had permitted the use of the Government Hospital supplies by the Ku Klux Klan, that he had failed to protect colored subordinates from the threats of mob violence, and that a number of colored nurses who it was feared might reveal conditions at the hospital, were summarily discharged without cause. A letter to President Harding calling the Tuskegee Hospital a "national scandal" and asking for a definite stand by the Administration, supplements the telegram. The telegram sent to Director General Hines is as follows: "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asks that Colonel Robert H. Stanley be removed immediately from command of Government Hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee. Our request is based upon information on file in your office, establishing conclusively the failure of Col. Stanley as commander of the Hospital to protect Negro subordinates against mob threats; and showing that Col. Stanley tolerated, if he did not actually convince at Ku Klux invasion of the Hospital and use of Hospital supplies; further, that Negro nurses have been summarily discharged without cause. We ask the restatement of the three nurses removed without cause. Many other acts of discrimination are indicated, as to which a number of white doctors of Col. Stanley's staff are ready and willing to testify." The Letter to President Harding The letter written to President Harding by James Weldon Johnson.

TRICE, Chairman Transportation Committee —Adv. "Let me recall to you the exact words of a letter written on April 28 to this Association by your Secretary, Mr. Christian, at your direction: "Your communication of April 19th has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of Tuskegee Hospital is well under way. It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel." "Is it the purpose of the United States Government to change its plan because a few mobbists make threats? Is political pressure in Washington going to retain in office a commanding officer who has shown himself so unfit as has Colonel Stanley? These questions colored people throughout the nation, and white people as well, are now asking. We cannot do otherwise than present them to you, for we have steadily and persistently warned your 'Administration of the danger in making any concession whatever to the mob sentiment represented by the Ku Klux Klan and by certain white people of Alabama. "We have already asked Director Hines to remove Colonel Stanley. We ask your approval for this action, preceded of course by a thorough investigation and substantiation of the charges against this officer. We ask furthermore for the exact continuance of the government's plan, that is, a complete colored staff of qualified physicians and nurses, from the commanding officer down, and, if necessary, United States troops in Alabama to see that they are not interfered with in the work to which their government has called them.

Box Office Open Phone Victory 1097 Kansas City, Mo.—Believe me when I tell you I have been going some since I wrote you that letter from Chicago, and here I am right here in Kansas City this week the guest of Rev. Edward Wittenburg, pastor of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. church, but before this letter can get out of town I will be out also, and will have covered several miles when you read it. It would not be out of place for me to tell you that Rev. Wittenburg, is one of the leading pastors in the A. M. E. church, a young man who has worked his way from the ground up and who has won everything that he has attained in this world, and is still winning more, for it is only a few months now before he will be addressing Bishop Wittenburg. It is a nice thing to work from the ground up. When a boy, he worked in the mailing room of the Picayune, in New Orleans, and his life was such as to demand respect from all who worked with him, to the extent that they would not say even a "cuss" word when "Eddie" was around. Well he worked and worked and then he went to Wilberforce University to prepare for his work. He got his bride, and with faith in himself and God, with his bride and a baby four months old went to Wilberforce to prepare for the ministry. He graduated with honors from Wilberforce University, and Payne Theological seminary, and then right into the work for which he was prepared. His first charge after returning from school was at Plaquemine, and then to Patterson, La., Baton Rouge, Greenville, Miss., then Vicksburg, and from there returned to his childhood play grounds, for he was assigned to St. James, M. E. church, where he remained 6 years and three months over. Then he was sent from New Orleans to this place, and believe me he is doing a great big work here. He is making his place by hard work, and when placed on the bench he will make, a great big Bishop. But, now comes my trip over here. I left Chicago after getting around all day with Bishop Parks, and reached here Sunday morning, remaining just a few hours, for at 3 o'clock in the afternoon I was in Fort Scott Kansas, there the guest of Rev, and Mrs. G. M. Tillman, of the A. M. E. church. I certainly get this Baptist foot of mine under many Methodist tables. It is a great thing to make friends, and this is what I have been doing. I was in school one time, and Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman was there also and we were in the same class. She has gone out and made a reputation as a writer and author, and is editor of the Woman's Christian Recorder, the missionary paper of the church. She is a worker. From there I made my way to Chanute, Kan., stopping two hours at Parsons, taking breakfast with Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. church. At Chanute the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Kansas met, presided over by Dr. S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City, Kansas, and a leader of men. It was indeed a pleasure to come in touch with this wonderful man and all those associated with him. This is a grand lodge of brains. I don't know when I have seen so many educated men and women together as in the Grand Lodge and Grand Court of Calanthe, of Kansas. I was assigned to a first class stopping place, the home of Rev. and Mrs. Branch, of the Baptist church, and you see I was walking with John and Jordan. There were six women stopping at the same place and two other men. Now you may see just how I was surrounded, and pray for me, I was present at the opening of the Grand Lodge, and the Grand Court. The Court was presided over by Mrs. Norene Davis, a graduate from Western College, now located in Kansas City, but then it was in Macon, Mo. They met that day, delivered their addresses, heard some reports, appointed some committees and got down to business. At night they had the addresses of welcome, and this is where we heard some few things. They had the postmaster, who had at one time been the mayor of the town, but had been appointed by the President to the position of Postmaster. He is one of these fellows who believe that manhood is vested in white, and I am just well—I don't know what. He talked about you people, and your people, 'and people. He went out of his way to say that my people did not want equality, and would not have it if it was given to them. I wondered why in the hen feathers he should bring up such stuff as that to me or to my people. I am sure that none of us wanted to associate with him socially. Then he said that he believed in separate schools, yet he would vote on the colored people unless they asked for it, and he thought that they should ask for separate schools and he would vote for them. He spoke what was in his heart, and Judge I. F. Bradley responded in mild terms to this man. *There were many who were anxious to speak out in church and one of the number did speak out. He told him just a few things. I will not attempt to respond to this, and you will pardon me if I should not for it would take a whole paper. I have seen some things to inspire me. I have met some people, and it was a pleasure to do all this and to see what I did 'see and hear what I did llear. I told you about North Carolina and what was going on there. I told you of the number of teachers who are in school talking on more education, and North Carolina is trying to make better teachers and more teachers. There were 537 in the summer school at Shaw university, Raleigh conducted by Prof. J. H. Bias, vice principal of the State Normal School at Elizabeth City. In this school it is divided into groups: High School; State; County; Preparatory. Prof Bias is one of the noted educators of the country, and he is becoming known throughout the country. He was at one time principal of Berry O'Kelly High school, Method, N. C. and resigned there to go to Elizabeth City. But before going there he succeeded in getting the high school in class A, and perhaps the only one of its kind in the state. All of North Carolina praise the name of Berry O'Kelly, because he is a man every inch of him, and a man who believes that there is a future for his race in America and is making his contribution to that end. He presented Method with the high school building, and that is why it carries his name. He is a man of wealth, a friend to Dr. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute. Recently he won the heart of Miss Margerette Bell, of New Jersey, and she is now the queen of his home and his companion for life. She is indeed a fine young woman, and was one of the teachers in the school. She has left the school room and will some day have a school of her own. It is fortunate that he has such a wife. I am now back in Kansas City, but THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 The Recent Honorable President of the United States of America, Who Suddenly Closed His Eyes in Death at San Francisco, Cal., Thursday Evening, at 9:53 o'Clock. All the People Throughout the Civilized World Lament His Untimely Passing Away and Their Unbounded Sympathy Flows Out to Mrs Harding in This, the Saddest Hour of Her Existence, in the Great Loss of Her Distinguished Husband, President Harding. The sudden death of President Harding at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Cal., Thursday evening, shocked all of the people residing in all parts of this mighty nation who had been led to believe by his eminent doctors that he was on the road to complete recovery and that he would soon be enjoying the best of health. It is said that his good wife, Mrs. Harding, who was at at his bedside reading to the President when he suddenly came to the end of the road in this life, bravely stood up under the great shock and loss which she sustained in his unexpected death. His mortal remains will be transported across this great continent on to Washington, D. C., and from there to his old home in Marion, Ohio, for burial. The train bearing his remains will make no stops en route except those which it is compelled to make. The body of the President will be borne in the rear car, the same in which he made the trip from the capital to the Pacific coast. The car will be lighted at night, and at all times two soldiers and two sailors, a part of a naval and military guard of sixteen enlisted men, will stand at attention guarding the casket. The train will carry the presidential party as composed during the trip across the country to Alaska, and also Gen. John J. Pershing, Attorney General Dougherty, and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Remsberg and family, Mrs. Remsberg being a sister of the President; and Mrs. Harding. President Harding is the sixth President of the United States to pass try and will soon be in Chicago and headed for another part of the counten right back. Are you going to be at the meeting of the National Negro Business League? I hope you are, for I am going to be there myself. I am going to be there with the people. The Governor of Arkansas has decided to be present and deliver an address of welcome. This will be done August 15 in Hot Springs. The delegates will be there in large numbers to hear him. I am going to be right on hand, because I think he will have something to say. From there I will go to New York for the National Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and then right to the National Baptist convention in California. I am sure you will be there, and I will meet you there. Dr. L. K. Williams, has been doing something this year and we will all be delighted to hear his report. I think it is time for me to bring this letter to a close. I hope to have something to tell you about the affairs of life, especially Tuskegee soon. Let me know how you are getting along. You may reach me care Hon. John L. Webb, Woodmen of Union, Hot Sprinks, Ark. CHARLES E. STUMP. away before the end of his term as President. The five other Presidents preceding him who died before their terms had ended were: WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, a Whig, died one month after his inauguration in 1841 and was succeeded by John Tyler, Democrat, who served out the remainder of the term. GEN. ZACHARY TAYLOR, elected as a Whig in 1848, died in 1850, after serving one year, four months, and five days. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the first Republican President, after serving a full term from 1861 to 1865, was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in Ford's theater, Washington, on April 14, 1865, one month and eleven days after beginning his second term. JAMES A. GARFIELD, Republican, was assassinated by Charles J. Guiteau in the Baltimore and Ohio station in Washington and died ten weeks later on Sept. 19, 1881, six and one-half months after beginning his term. WILLIAM McKINLEY, Republican, after serving nearly a full term, was shot at Buffalo by Louis Czolgosz on Sept. 6, 1901, and died on Sept. 14. Hon. Calvin Coolidge, the new President of the United States, has a splendid political record behind him and everything pertaining to the governmental affairs of this, our dearly beloved country, the greatest nation on the face of God's green earth, will move along in the regular order of everyday life.

"PLANTATION DAYS" STARTS IN ON ITS SECOND WEEK AT THE AVENUE THEATRE; EACH EVENING IT HAS BEEN PLAYING TO CROWDED HOUSES Last, Sunday, evening. "Plantation Days," which is by far the best show composed of colored artists now on the road which had a long run in London and caused the people of that wonderful city to go completely crazy over it or about it, held forth at the Avenue Theatre, 3106 Indiana avenue. More than one thousand people were unable to witness the first show on the opening night and each evening the theatre is crowded to the doors. There is no use in pointing out anyone connected with the show as a bright shining star for each and every one of its 33 members are first-class stars and the rich and flasy costumes worn by them are far beyond description. The music is snappy and enchanting and there is not one dull moment from the time that the curtain goes up on the first act until it falls on the last one. "Plantation Days" starts on its second week Sunday, August 5th, and Mr. W, Meakin, the able manager of the Avenue Theatre is well pleased with the show and freely predicts that it will have a long run at that popular show house.
