YOUNG, MAYOR OF BOLEY OKLAHOMA, SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE—PRESIDENT MARQUESS ALSO SPEAKS—A Probably the most interesting, if not the most instructive meeting of the many held during the summer by the Kansas City, Kansas, branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was held at the Eighth Street A. M. E church, Sunday evening, Aug. 20th. As has been announced to the public from time to time, this branch, through its educational committee, of which Mr. G. B. Buster is chairman, has been holding Sunday evening meetings for the purpose of not only creating sentiment of race pride, but to give that instruction concerning the history and achievements of the race that must be known before this pride can arise within its members. Opportunity is given also, in such meetings to let the people of the city know just what the association is trying to do, and what it has already done. The principal speaker on the program Sunday evening was Dr. Isaac H. Young, mayor of Boley, Oklahoma, a town composed of about 3,000 Negroes, and not a single white man in it. Although Mayor Young had very little time to prepare for this meeting yet he delivered a very scholarly and instructive address, in which he very clearly set forth the main principles upon which our race will have to build its future, if it is to be successful in gaining a very hopeful view for the future of the race and pointed to many proofs that conditions are now much better than they were a few years ago, and to many signs that bespoke a bright future career. He reminded us that we must be careful not to entertain for other races that prejudice that has so often worked injury to us; that we should not forget that the foundation of all success is love, and that if our race is to build strongly and securely, a profound respect for and an active part in Christianity is absolutely necessary. Dr. Young has been a resident of Boley only five years, yet by his sincerity, his Christian character and his earnest desire to serve his race to the best of his ability, he has, in that short time gained the confidence of the people and has received the highest honor it is in their power to bestow. Following the speech by Mayor Young, President J. M. Marquess, of Langston University, was seen in the audience and called upon to make a few remarks. It will be no surprise to Kansas City people when we say that upon this invitation he delivered one of the most scholarly and enthusiastic speeches it has been our privilege to hear. It was no surprise, because we have always found President Marquess to be equal to all occasions—at all times prepared. He congratulated Mr. Hodge, President of the local branch, upon the educational campaign he and the association were undertaking, and in a vivid illustration showed how necessary it is, in fighting the fight of the race, to have not only the ambition and desire to help, but to display good judgment. President Hodge has lost no opportunity this summer to urge the members of the branch to show more interest in the work, especially did he urge that in the future we ourselves must work out our own salvation—stating that the white people who have largely worked for us in the past are gradually withdrawing their support and expecting us to solve our own problems. While speaking of the wonderful help that has been given us in the past by our white friends, he took on- POOR GIRL'S BLESSING A Three Act Play.

Dallas Bowser will be the speaker. The public is invited, and the promises made by the officers that the meeting will not be long and you will be dismissed early so as not to have to spend a great deal of time inside while the weather is warm. The work undertaken by the association deserves that this last meeting be well attended. J. C. BRANCHE. Who was elected president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees at their third annual session, which closed in this city Saturday of last week. Mr. Branche is very popular with his brother mail clerks and is said to be among the most efficient employees on Uncle Sam's payroll. The local Alliance and citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, feel much honored and congratulate the convention in its wisdom in selecting this manly man of worth and character as chief executive. COSMOS CLUB OPENS FOR THE SEASON FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1ST. The Cosmos Club, one of the best known as well as the most popular clubs in the two Kansas City's will open the season of 1916-17 next Friday evening September 1st at M. & O.

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION CLOSES WITH A SWELL BANQUET. The National Medical Association, which closed a three days' session last night with a swell banquet at the Y. M. C. A., 1824 Paseo was within keeping of former conventions of this great national body. The local organization took care and entertained their guests in great style.

Hodge, of Sumner High school, will be in his office to discuss with any prospective student or with any parent the courses to be pursued for the coming year. Mr. Hodge would like especially to confer with those who expect to enter Sumner for the first time. The program of enrollment of students will be as follows: Wednesday, September 6th, Freshmen. Thursday, September 7th, Sophomores and Juniors. Friday, September 8th, Seniors and Normals. These dates are for the afternoons only, from three to five, on account of the institute which will be in progress at that time. Mr. Hodges urges all students to enroll on the date set so as not to interfere with other classes. Also does he urge that all students who expect to enroll to be present on the first day of school, as it is shown that most of the failures of students are due to the fact that they get a late start and are usually unable to make up back work satisfactory to the teacher in charge. Announcement is made of the selection of Miss Josephine Pinyon for the position of science teacher in Sumner. Miss Pinyon is not a stranger to Kansas City, having visited this city and its schools, while acting in the capacity of student secretary for the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association. Miss Pinyon, in her four years of study at Cornell University, and in her summer study at Columbia University, specialized in physics and chemistry and taught these subjects both at A. & M. College, Normal Ala., and at the Training School, at Durham, North Carolina. Kansas City is to be congratulated upon securing the services of Miss Pinyon, who has proved her worth both as a teacher and as one who knows how to make herself valuable in a community. Word has been received from Chicago that Prof. G. A. Curry, teacher of Latin in Sumner High school, has been given his degree of Master of Arts from the University of Chicago. This reminds us that there is no other colored high school in the country and few other white high schools that can boast of such high scholastic preparation of its faculty. Its members come from the best universities of the country, and have had experience teaching in reputable schools before entering here. We wish Sumner and all the public schools of the city a pleasant and profitable year. ROYAL ARCH MASONS ELECT OFFICERS—C. H. LONG OF KANSAS CITY PRESIDED.

Marquess, president of Langston university, was in the city Sunday and Monday calling on his old friends. Mr. Marquess was the efficient principal of Sumner High school for eight years, resigning last spring to accept the presidency of the great school of which he is now the head. The school board and citizens here were loathe to see this great educator leave us, but his wonderful intellectual powers as an educator beckoned him to come to greater heights in his profession, so he is found at Langston university and will on his first year's administration double the student body. The new head has made many changes in the school which will build up and bring about greater results to the school. The teaching force has been greatly strengthened by eighteen new efficient teachers. Oklahoma should feel lucky as well as honored in having such a character and educator. [Picture of a woman with curly hair, wearing a dark dress with a high collar.] The estimable wife of Mr. J. C. Branche, who had much to do in making the social and entertaining side of the National Alliance of Postal Employees convention a glowing success. Mrs. Branche kept open house from the time of the first arrival of a delegate until the last one had departed and their fine big touring car was kept ready at all times with their safe chauffeur at the disposal of their guests and friends. The Branches own a large and beautiful home at 835 Nebraska avenue. NEGRO TRACK STAR SUFFERS PARALYSIS. Physicians Say Howard Drew Can Never Run Again. Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 22.—The amateur world will learn with regret today that Howard Drew, the fastest sprinter in the world, probably will never run another race. Drew, who holds a record of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash, is partially paralyzed and physicians say even if he recovers he can never run again. The Federation of Women's Clubs, of K. C., Mo., entertained prominent people of both cities at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. Wednesday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, the leading woman of our race. The gymnasium was packed to its utmost with both sexes to meet this distinguished guest. The following program was rendered: (1) Music, choir led by Mr. Wm. Lewis, (2) Prayer, (3) Music, chorus, (4) Vocal Solo, little Miss Hortense Davis, (5) Address, Mrs. B. T. Washington, (6) Vocal Solo, Mrs. Shannan, (7) Renaarks, Mrs. Freeman (a Caucasian), (8) Closing with a reception with ices served at which time Mrs. M. C.

RECEPTION TO GENERAL MILLER. Dr. F. O'Hara Miller, one of Wichita's leading and prominent physicians stopped with Dr. Hayden on Tenth street while attending the National Medical Association in Kansas City, Mo., this week. The doctor is chief commander of the uniform department of Knights of Pythlas of Kansas, and by virtue of this holds the rank of Brigadier General. Mid-West company No. 2 tendered their general a reception Friday evening at their armory in the Slaughter building. MUCH BUSINESS OF IMPORTANCE TRANSACTED—VISITORS ROYALLY ENTERTAINED—MANY SWELL FUNCTIONS DURING THE WEEK—J. C. BRANCHE ELECTED NATIONAL PRESIDENT The third annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees closed its session Saturday afternoon after being in convention for four days. There was a large amount of business transacted during the four days' work. The most drawn out work was the amendment to the constitution, which took time and patience. The president, A. K. Bruce, found himself at times on parliamentary usages, riding bareback, but he was always found holding to the reins. The meeting was said to be one of harmony, with enough spices to give a good sensible business taste to the proceedings when everything was threshed out. This organization probably has the best balanced men in thought, deed and temperament, than most any other like body. This is probably due to the kind of work in which they are engaged where it takes patience, quick of mind and normal temperament. Henry L. Mims, former national president, was presented on the last days' session with a large silver loving cup by the National Alliance. The local alliance entertained their guests during the week with many swell functions. Mr. and Mrs. Branche were the often and large entertainers of the week, at their beautiful home on Nebraska avenue. Mr. Gayden, the local president and chairman of the committee on arrangements, was a busy man during the session and entertained six of his brother mail clerks at his palatial home, and that big opened-hearted Charlie Starr, chairman of the entertainment committee, never let up during the whole week in trying to make everybody happy. The visitors left Saturday evening, Sunday and Monday for their respective homes, carrying with them in their own words, "The best time and most hospitable people in Kansas City, Kansas, ever." The following national officers were elected: President, J. C. Branche, Kansas City, Kas.; vicepresident, D. H. Dwight, Florida; treasurer, A. H. Hendricks, Ga.; secretary, R. L. Bailey, Indianapolis, Ind.; auditor, W. H. Bass, Arkansas; editor, M. D. Patten, Texas. The next place of meeting is Chattanooga, Tenn. Come again, N. A. P. E. The third annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees adjourned sine die Saturday afternoon last. The delegates with one expression declare this to have been the best convention in the history of the organization. Next to the princely entertainment provided by the home folks, the electric sign, "Welcome Railway Mai Clerks, Aug. 16, 17, 18th," erected by the city in honor of the clerks received the most favorable comment Mr. G. A. T. Gray of Fort Worth Texas, was accompanied by his little girl. It is stated that Mr. Gray is one of the wealthiest men in Texas.

RESOLUTION. Whereas, the untimely hand of death has again entered our midst and plucked from the garden of life a blooming flower, our much beloved and esteemed friend and coworker, Leslie Woodfork, and summoned him to meet the tribunal of the Most High—and with sorrow and sadness of heart we bow in humble submission to the call. And yet we, the committee, are not unmindful of the fact, for it is written, "It is better to enter a house of mourning than a house of feasting, for in it we are reminded of the approaching end, yes, the end, the outlet, the doorway through which all men must pass. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the postoffice department, for whom the deceased had served for more than six years, has lost one of its most efficient, honest, upright and trustworthy servants. The community in which he lived a noble character, kind hearted, affectionate and true to all who knew him. Therefore. Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and the local press. Friends, co-workers and to the bereaved, we the committee extend to you our deepest and heartfelt sympathy in this your hour of sorrow and trial; and entreat you to listen to the call of a loving, merciful Saviour, for Him we are sure who can take such fatherly care of us all, will never forget nor forsake, even an that solemn and silent hour of death—the dear ones who will trust in his words.

The judge paid no at- tention to the letter. The first open move to try to get sufficient evidence on the judge to oust him from office was made today. Depositions were taken in the office of T. A. Pollock, attorney for the brew- ers, ostensibly under the injunction granted by the federal court. The depositions wére to show the judge exceeded his authority in trying Leo Bobrecker without filing a written complaint. | Bobrecker testified, and so did one of his attorneys, Henry Werenga, he asked for a written complaint and it was refused him. His attorney said that he was unable to prepare a prop- er defense and as a result Bobrecker was fined $500 and sentenced to six! months in jail. | Lee Judy, assistant city counselor, and Charles E. Little, sergeant of po- lice who arrested Bobrecker, denied he asked for a written complaint. They said Bobrecker was told the day he was arrested he was violating two city ordinances; one was driving on the streets with a beer truck with the name painted on it, and the other for delivering beer without orders. They said Bobrecker was given plen- ty of time to prepare his case, almost a month, and if he violated the city ordinances they could not help it, Other depositions will be taken later it is understood, BREMEN TAKEN BY BRITISH? Caught in Nets in the English Channel. (International News Service.) New York, Aug. 25,—That the Ger- nian trans-Atlantic freight submarine Bremen has been captured by the Brit. ish and taken into the port of Dover, with two members of her crew of 35 dead from suffocation, was the report brought here today on the White Star liner Baltic. .The informant refused to allow the use of his name. According to the story the Bremen became entangled in wire ropes and netting at the eastern end of the Eng- lish channel on August 2 and was tak- en into Dover harbor five days later. The man giving the information is an officer of a British merchant ves- sel and the brother of an officer in the English navy. CASUALTIES IN AIR RAID. Zeppelins in 24 Hours.

A mighty host of "little unknown Baptists" will be in attendance: William Stong Solves Most Intricate Problems Quickly and Without Effort. ANSWERS APPEAL INSTANTLY Has Declined Many Offers to Travel and Demonstrate His Gift in Public—Enjoys Amazement He Evokes. Bloomington, Ill.—Illinois possesses a mathematical prodigy in William Stong, twenty-eight years old of Tazewell county. He has been able to solve any problem in arithmetic that has been given to him. He reels off millions and billions with equal precision and promptness. One of his feats is to wander down to the railway station when a freight train dashes away and add up the numbers on the sides of the cars. By the time the last car has passed he has the total. People who are skeptical concerning his powers come long distances to test them. They are primed with brain-racking problems, but all prove easy for Stong. One of the most-common questions relates to the number of seconds in a lifetime, given the date of birth. One who propounded this problem gave him the date January 26, 1873. Right off the reel came this re- JOHN B. HARRIS William Stong. ply: "15,873 days, 378,392 hours, 22,703,540 minutes, 1,362,211,000 seconds." Another problem was: "It is 155 miles to Chicago. How many pounds of rails in the track at 80 pounds to the yard." Without hesitation came the reply: "436,380,000." Some of His Feats. Another one was: "An automobile wheel is 30 inches in diameter. How many revolutions will this wheel make in traveling the 100 miles to Chicago?" Strong came back with this answer: "104,476 revolutions." A nail problem came next. He was told that $2 nails were to be driven. One cent would be paid for the first, 2 cents for the second and double the sum for each succeeding nail. He was asked how much he would be paid for the thirty-second nail. Almost instantly the answer given: "21,474,000.48. One skeptic propounded: "With 25,000 miles around the earth and silver dollars at an inch and a quarter in dia. meter, how many will it take to girdle it?" Stong answered: "1,267,200,000." "The Illinois river flows at the rate of 400 cubic feet an hour. If a reservoir was constructed, one mile long, one mile wide and half a mile deep, how long would it take to fill it if the water from the river was diverted?" Strong hesitated for a few moments and then gave the answer: "183,997,440 hours." One man tested Strong with this railroad problem: "There are 750,000 miles of steam railroads in the world. There are 352 rails to every mile. To every pair of rails there are 18 ties with 4 spikes per tie. There are 5 bolts to every rail and 2 steel plates per tie. How many rails, ties, spikes, etc." Within a few moments Stong told his audience to put down the following answer: "There are 264,000,000 rails, 2,367,000,000 ties, 528,000,000 flanges, 950,504,000,000 spikes, 1,302,000,000 bolts and 4,752,000,000 plates. At 85 pounds to the yard there are 224,400,000 pounds of steel in the rails. At 50 tons per carload, there would be 2,244,000 cars or 44,880 trains of 50 cars per train." Was Despair of Teachers. He was asked to give the total of all the numbers from one up to 9,600, adding them together. His answer was 46,084,800. The total of the numbers from one up to 78,000 was 3,042,939,000. Stong was asked how many bricks would be required to lay a pavement from New York to San Francisco, 3,578 miles, the pavement to be 60 feet wide and the brick 8 inches long and 2 inches-wide. He figured that it would require just 10,201,377,600 bricks. Asked to divide 68,719,476,736 by 32,768, he answered instantly: "2,097,165." E. P. JONES. D. D., Pres., Vicksburg, Miss. ERNEST J.

Berlin, Aug. 25.—All the men and officers of the returned merchant submarine Deutschland, including Captain Paul Koenig, declared their readiness to undertake a second voyage to the United States as soon as the submersible can be loaded. Frederick Karr, one of the principals in "Cranberries," a new Orpheum offering, was a protege of Fanny Davenport, and as a youngster, fresh from Notre Dame University, had an opportunity to study under the famous star of the Sardou plays. The Rev. Father Healey, of St. Thomas's parish, who has been visiting his home in Horndike, Mass., since August 6, underwent an operation at the hospital in Holyoke, Mass, Saturday, August 19, the result of which has not been learned. Railroad Presidents Fearful of Effect On November Election. (International News Service.) Washington, Aug. 25.—Opposition of certain railways to President Wilson's demand for an eight-hour day to prevent a nation-wide strike is dying hard. As a last stand, after they had verbally given in, the executives are insisting upon a guarantee from the White House that legislation which will make impossible a similar crisis will be enacted before the November election. They also are fighting for definite assurances as to how soon the promised increase in freight rates to meet any added burden of wages may be expected. The defiant stand made in opposition to the president's expressed demands smacks of politics and indicates the railroads are not willing to gamble for big stakes on his re-election. Kansas Spent 2 Millions for Charity. Topeka, Kas., Aug. 25.—Kansas spent nearly $2,000,000 for charity under the state board of control during the past two years, during the report completed this morning. In these expenditures are included those for the Topeka and Larned state hospitals, the epileptic hospital at Parsons, the Atchison Orphans' Home, the Winfield feeble minded school and the Norton tuberculosis sanitarium. The costs amounted to $1,841,600.58 and the unexpended balance, $6,539.09. A TEMORARY FOOT BRIDGE. The County Commissioners Grant the Request of Workingmen. Following an inspection of traffic conditions at Central avenue and the Kaw, the Wyandotte county commissioners yesterday agreed to build a temporary foot bridge to satisfy the demand until the reconstruction of the bridge is completed. Robert L. McAlpine, engineer, estimated the cost at $2,750. Hundreds of persons inconvenienced by the tearing away of the old bridge petitioned the commissioners to take action in the matter, and appointed a committee of 15 to confer with the board.
