Kansas City Advocate

TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 OUR NEW MAYOR TO FULFILL PLEDGES HE WILL ENDEAVOR TO GIVE A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Oath of Office Was Administered Today After the Official Canvas of the Returns Was Completed—No New Appointments Until Saturday. "I have promised to give the people of Kansas City, Kansas, an efficient business-like administration and I will endeavor to make my promise good." That invariably is the characteristic reply of Harry A. Mendenhall, mayor, to the hundreds of congratulatory messages and expressions of good will that have been showered on him since the result of Tuesday's election was announced. Mr. Mendenhall carried 76 of the 101 precincts in the city, thus showing that he was the popular choice of the people of all of the city. He recognizes this fact—and in truth it 1 Who was inaugurated today as mayor of Kansas City, Kansas. The demonstration exhibited at the ceremony by citizens from all walks of life shown conclusively that Mr. Mendenhall is the most popular mayor who has held this office since the commission form of government came into effect. was one of his platform pledges that, if elected, he would to the best of his ability serve the people of the entire city and not, of any particular section, or any faction of the people. The election of Mr. Mendenhall as mayor, J. B. Brown as commissioner of parks, and also the re-election of L. H. Chapman as commissioner of water and light, James Beggs as commissioner of streets and Gerard Little as commissioner of finance, was received with general satisfaction by the people. Everybody is confident that the city will have a continuation of popular and efficient government by commission, and everybody is in line for the making of a bigger and better Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Mendenhall will take the oath of office today, following the official canvas of the returns of Tuesday's election. J. B. Brown was sworn in as commission of parks to succeed W. H. Martin, while L. H. Chapman, James Beggs and Gerard Little, present commissioners, were LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL 512 Box Seats ..... 25 cents—Reserved... 4,000 Arena Balcony Seats ..... 15 cents—Not Reserved 2,000 Upper Balcony Seats ..... 10 cents—Not Reserved VOL. 3. sworn in for their new terms of office. No appointments of public officers will be made by the new city administration, it was announced today, until April 7, when Harry A. Mendenhall, the newly elected mayor, will officially take office. It has been indicated, however, that few changes are contemplated by the mayor-elect. It was announced at the city hall today that many requests were made on the commissioners-elect not to disturb the legal department at this time because of the pendency of important matters in the courts and also of the gas situation. VESPERS AT W. U. EASTER SUNDAY. Hear Dr. S. W. Bacote and Mrs. Bacote and choir of Second Baptist church of Kansas City, Mo. Fine music and an excellent address. Sumner Post No. 10, G. A. R., will be guest. 'GEO. DUVALL, Commander. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. "How you feel, Uncer Ike—Humph." "Well, your Uncer Ike feels tolerable-lak—purty good—fair to middlin,—Yas. Your Uncer like feel lak sayin'." "De Ded is er live,—De loss is found'—and de Prodigal is turnin' home—Bless De Lawd." In truth, there is reason, for us to feel a little lifted, and for us to take courage, at the outlook. We have contended in these columns, that there is hope for us, and that our strongest hold was in our Preachers. That an awakening in them to a full sense of their duty and power would be the lever by which we would lift ourselves to a higher level. Recent action on their part, together with results, shows that your "Uncer Ike" is not a bad prophet. Then "All Hall,—and God save and help our Preachers, to keep awake to a full sense of their Powers and Duties, and to keep active in the work that will do us good. Let us continue to combine, hold together, think, reason, discuss thresh out, contend with each other, but not to hate or nag; pool and put together all our interests, religious, industrial, professional, economical, social and political, and all together cry— "Lay on, McDuff, and down with him who first says, Hold enough." Let's be quiet, gentle, clear and cool, but with all tenacious, and continue until we get out of smudge and smoke. There is much—even all, to be had. Let's do our best. That is the way angels do. Let's not forget, truancy officer, kindergarten and other things pertaining to schools, and in the meantime other fruits that are ripening. More yet, YOUR UNCER IKE BRADLEY. Mr. W.

HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING EXTRAORDINARY TON HALL G, MAY 11, 1917. 200, Dumbbells 200. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, APRIL 6. 1917. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. After congratulating the splendid citizenry of Kansas City, Kansas, for their righteous verdict expressed at the polls on last Tuesday, we extend to each and all of you our sincere thanks for your loyalty in following the leadership of those of our race whose interest was not controlled by a few paltry dollars and personal ambition, but those whose interest was in the welfare of the city in general and the race in particular. When this segregation issue was first launched we the ministers and members of the civic brotherhood, not to devise ways and means by which this issue might be satisfactorily solved without being made an issue in any future campaign. We drew up resolutions appealing the Christian ministry irrespective of creed, society or politics. We mailed to every clergy in charge of a church or parish within this city a copy of these resolutions. A committee from this Brotherhood waited on Bishop Ward of the Catholic church in person with the hope that this segregation or race question might not become an issue. We further advised our people from our pulpits to divide their strength among every candidate that was opposed to the segregation issue and Jim Crow regulation. We further admonished our parishioners to take no stock or part in the church fight and as a race we had hoped by this fair and impartial method to make friends with all the candidates, and maintain the confidence and respect of all the church creeds and denominations. We regretted to note that Mr. Hewlett became a standard bearer of that issue that stands in an absolute contrast to Christianity. But when he was buried under such an avalanche of ballots we had hoped that he with his issue would have had no resurrection. But, alas, to our regret and to the shame of Mr. DeCoursey and his followers in the theory of the transmigrationist this issue was transferred to the above standard bearer. Thank God and the good people irrespective of race, creed or political affiliation this question was settled last Tuesday (and we trust settled for ever) for since God has created of one flesh and blood all people to dwell upon the face of all the earth and we being brethren, let us contribute our quota for harmony and peace, and brotherly love among all the churches, creeds, races and people. Again thanking you for your loyalty and undivided effort we are respectfully your humble servants. THE'CIVIC BROTHERHOOD. J. R. RANSOM, President. W. A. BOWREN, Secretary. Up! Up! oh, sable warriors, With the sun-god in your veins;— Columbia's calling, calling, For her loyal-hearted swains!

FUND AND CLINCH WHITE CITZENS' OFFER OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS Nashville, Tenn., 3-31-1917—By raising in a seven day campaign which closed last night, Twenty Thousand One Hundred Forty Dollars Eligheight cents, the Negroes of this city took up the offer whereby the white citizens were to supplement it with their $100,000 and which is expected will secure from Mr. Rosenwald the $25,000 which was promised sometime ago. They have already purchased the magnificent Duncan Hotel property, which passed into their hands on December 31, 1916, and which consists of a four-story building of eighty rooms with its entire furnishings. The campaign was notable for the amount of ginger put into it. More than $10,000,000 were reported on the last day of the campaign. Money was solicited through letters, by personal subscriptions and by telegraph. Friends, ex-residents and sympathizers of Nashville people from all sections of the United States were brought into the campaign. The building, which will be remodeled from the funds of the present campaign, will be worth more than $200,000, and it is said by the leading Y. M. C. A. experts to be one of the best locations and will be one of the most modern equipped buildings of any Negro Y. M. C. A. in the United States. Today contributions were still coming in, and it is expected that the grand total from the Negroes alone will reach the sum of $22,000. While this marks the third campaign in Nashville since 1914 in the interest of the Y, M. C. A., it was announced this morning by the daily papers that the Negroes had done well their part. In 1914 $33,000 were subscribed. Early in January 1917, $6,000 more were subscribed, and in the present campaign an additional total of $20,140 were subscribed, but it was understood that the campaign just closed is to conform with the campaign of the whites to protect the shrinkage and to revive new interest. Henry Allen Boyd is chairman of the Committee of Management, W. N. Sanders is the secretary. J. C. Napier served as chairman of the present campaign, W. D. Hawkins, General of Division A, Preston Taylor, General of Division B, with Bishop K. B. Scott as vice chairman. There were fourteen teams at work, all schools and colleges helping. Mr. J. B. Watson, the International Secretary, spent the entire time here helping to direct the efforts. The Bible class for persons of all churches, also for sinners, met at Mrs. Geo. McLelland's. Mrs. L. Hail Chapplain opened the meeting. Two chapters in the Bible were discussed. The leader, Mrs. M. C. Matthews presented those present with a pretty Easter token. They have many calls to visit the sick. Next meeting will be at Mrs. B. Carroll's, 1322 North Eighth street. Lesson, II Corinth 6-7. Attorney E. A. Shackelford received a telegram Thursday of the sad news of the death of his oldest sister at Tipton, Mo. Mr. Shackelford left Thursday evening.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. PEOPLE STAND FOR HIGH CITI ZENSHIP. In Tuesday's election of this city the results did not only show the people rule, but it demonstrated the High Citizenship of the Majority. On the other hand were shown that lower strata of humanity and to the ideal in which it is calculated. There was never a time in the history of our great and beloved metropolis when citizens who have been rated for many years as some of the city's greatest benefactors lost all respect for the sanctity of person, home and high ideals of citizenship. *Church men, bankers, business and professional men let themselves down in the slime of iniquity so low that they have to climb up the ladder to get in the place where their soul and heart dwells. "Oh, ye vipers of damnation." Where will you spend eternity? But with all of this dirty, low, degrading prejudice, segregation, secession, publicity, there were enough hearts of good white men and women, with pure all red blood running through their veins, with the assistance of a loyal and patriotic race to overthrow those would-be destroyers of peace, prosperity and harmony. The race stood firmly shoulder to shoulder in helping to retain the fair name of a state and city whose forefathers, of whom some died as martyrs, that no stain of inhumanity should rest within her borders. With all of this hatred and abuse the colored man remains loyal to his country and flag and at this crucial period they are offering their services from every part of the country to go to the front and sacrifice their lives in defense of the nation. EASTER SERVICES Baster services will be observed all day at the Metropolitan Temple. The Sunday school will have their program at 9:45 o'clock. At 11 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. D. A. Holmes, will have for a subject, "The Glorious Destiny of the Human Body." The following musical numbers will be given with Mrs. W. G. Wood at the organ: Prelude, "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today." ..... Ashford Offertory, "Chorus of Angels"..... ..... Scotson Clark Anthem, "As It Began to Dawn"... Lerman Choir Folk Song, "He Rose"...... Rosamond Johnson ! Organ with Echo by Choir At the Evening Service. Sermon, "The First Command with Promise" Prelude, "Spring Song". ..... Mendelssohn Anthem, "The Day Which the Lord Hath Made". ..... Lambillotte Choir Offertory Hark, Ten Thousand Harps and Voices ..... Ashford All are cordially invited to these services. Elder D. A. Holmes spoke at Lincoln High school Monday at the patriotic meeting observing the opening of war of the U. S. A. against Germany. Mrs. Alice Washington, 839 Walker, is sick. --- By Mervin Harris. A special assembly was called last Monday at 11 o'clock in accordance with the other patriotic meetings that were held in various high schools throughout the two cities. Rev. Ransom delivered a patriotic address in which he pictured the patriotism of the Negro in the previous wars that the United States has waged. One of the points dropped was that if we are not patriotic, it is not discreet to display a lack of patriotism, owing to the fact that every government employee has been appointed a secret service detective with the instructions to report any person who openly expresses his criticism of the government or its officials, such person is subject to arrest. Following this address Mr. Matthew Carrol rendered a selection in which he reviewed the bravery of the Negro troops in all battles of the country's history. Sumner night as usual was largely attended. The Manual Training exhibit which occupied three rooms was undoubtedly the most popular attraction. The auditorium was crowded to its utmost capacity during the program which began at 8 o'clock. The welcome address by Mr. Albert Maddux was exceedingly good. The Physiology, Domestic Science, English and other exhibits were quite attractive. The experimental wireless sending and receiving station proved very interesting. The sign "Do not touch, ten killed this morning," appeared on the sending station. This was for the purpose of preventing persons unfamiliar with the high voltage required in wireless sending stations from being subject to an unpleasant shock. Don't be alarmed, however, as we did not designate as to ten what were killed, but we assure you that it was not ten people that were killed. It may seem impossible to some that messages can be submitted in code through space without a wire or such to guide them, but those of you who put on the receiver at the receiving station know that it is possible. We will try and have it so you can hear your friend's voice next time and not the buzzer. At the assembly on Wednesday Rev. Harrabellio A. Marangeopa gave a very interesting account of his travels around the world. He was born off the northwestern coast of Africa in 1571. In his early life while a captive in Central Africa he made a vow that if he escaped he would travel around the world preaching the Gospel of Christ. He is now keeping his vow and when he has reached the Pacific ocean, where he is now on his way he will have completed his trip around the world. He arrived at New York from England in 1907. He has never ridden in any of the modern conveyances except when crossing the ocean. He has also had many thrilling experiences during his travels of over 114,000 miles. While in Russia he stayed in prison over three months. In Constantinople dogs are held in high reverence because it is said that they at one time saved the country from invasion. SUMNER NIGHT, BEST EVER— FINE EXHIBITS AND DEMONSTRATIONS. Sumner Day was celebrated appropriately. The freshmen gave a good program in the afternoon and the young man who gave the welcome did fine. Prof. Neely and Prof. Hodge talked. The Kitchen symphony was enceded. At the close a reception was held for the visiting patrons. Some of the patrons were Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Mesdames Buster, Scott, Taylor and others. Sumner Night the school was crowded to its capacity. A fine program was rendered. The playlets from the history department were effective. The sewing, cooking, drawing and typewriting were good, but the manual training was excellent. The Sumner Night school pupils had some things that had won prizes. While the day school boys had many fine pieces made. The older and experienced night school men showed what matured age can do. Mr. W. E. Green had a dining table with revolving top. Mr. Moore had a large hall tree. Mr. Grant-Plummer a book case, another a refrigerator. Mr. A. D. Williams had a large easy chair. EIGHTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.

Collection was $68 The spelling match for the benefit of this church was a success. We thank Prof. Neely and his teachers for their assistance. The church community entertainment will be given at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple Monday, April 16, 1917 We are sorry that Sister Salina Bruce keeps so ill. Sister B. C. Scott received a slight injury by falling from the street car. ZANESVILLE, OHIO Palm Sunday was observed at St. aul A. M. E. church last Sunday. Mrs. Charles Frye of Springfield, O., wife of Undertaker Frye, spent the week end here, the guest of her husband. The junior choir of St. Paul A. M.

Lewis Brown of Pine street has gone to Cleveland, where he will work in a hotel.

There were over 3,000 converts during the series of meetings. Messrs. Roy Lyons and Grant Balden are home from Toledo, O., where they have been employed for several months. The boys look well. Everybody seems to be getting ready to garden this year. Not a bad idea. Mrs. Sarah Pointer, one of Zanesville's old prominent citizens, died Saturday night at her home on Eighth street. She was 80 years of age at the time of her demise. A husband and son and a sister survive. The funeral was held Monday of this week at 2 p. m. from her late home, Rev. Thomas officiating. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH—REV. MARANGEOPA LECTURES. There will be special Easter services Sunday. The pastor, Rev. Ransom, will deliver a specially prepared Easter sermon at the morning service and the choir will render music appropriate for the occasion. The Sunday school has arranged an Easter program which will be rendered at their regular hour Sunday morning at 10 a. m. sharp. On Wednesday evening of this week Rev. Marangeopa, the Malay missionary, delivered his most interesting lecture of his twenty years' travel on foot around the world and for nearly two hours he held his attentive audience with his marvelous experiences and adventures. It was simply wonderful, beyond imagination. Rev. Reeves will preach at the church next Wednesday night who will stop over night here in passing this way. A - NEW ENTERPRISE. Mr. A. D. Williams, a fine furniture maker, will open a furniture manufactory and repair store at 929 Everett avenue in this month. He is an expert on making all kinds of furniture and repairing the same.

If we haven't what you want We will get it for you At the 11 a. m. service Rev. Merangeopa preached a sermon from M. tthew 17:1, "The Power of Prayer." was a beautiful discourse which inspired the auditors. Part of it we "We must not neglect prayer, as it is the key to God's favor. The best prayer that brought the spirit was a silent prayer; also it is not the loud speaking and many words but the short secret prayers from the heart; when we have faith." He told of God delivering him when he was imprisoned in a Russian dungeon. At 8 p. m. Rev. D. A. Holmes preached from I. Corinthians, 9:7. "Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges?"

TWICE VICTIM OF U-BOAT, QUITS SEA San Francisco Youth Has Had Enough of Excitement for a While. WILL TRY TO FORGET WAR Met His First Submarine in the Mediterranean and His Second in Irish Sea—No Warning Given Either Time. Boston—Joseph Barnett of San Francisco, late second saloon cook aboard the Baron Ogilvy, is only twenty. But twice he has been the victim of a submarine. Young Barnett met his first submarine in the Mediterranean a year ago, his second in the Irish sea last January. Now he's on his way back to San Francisco, where the war seems far away. No more of the sea for him, he says, until the war's over. He shipped first, when he was fourteen, as a galley boy aboard a Union Line boat plying between Vancouver, San Francisco and Australia. Four years later found him second saloon cook aboard the Medic of the White Star line, bound from Liverpool to Mediterranean ports and the Antipodes with a general cargo. This was in February of last year. They had been 15 days out and were somewhere off Sicily, Barnett thought, though out of sight of land, when a torpedo put an emphatic period to their progress. Never Saw Submarine. "We never did see the submarine or the torpedo," he said. "It was about dusk, and the sea was fairly smooth. I was cooking in the galley when she hit us. There was an explosion in the engine room which wiped out the whole watch below—about a dozen of them—and the ship lurched to starboard suddenly and all the dishes and pans went sliding. The cook and I rushed up on deck, and so did the rest, but we were ordered back. "It's all right, lads,' the captain said. 'Don't lose your heads. Go back. It'll be all right now.' "But she began settling down at the stern, and soon we were told to take to the boats. It took ten minutes to lower them—there was no trouble—and then we pulled away and laid by until she went down, sterna first, half an hour later. A French torpedo boat picked us up and we were landed in Marscilles the next morning." Six months later he shipped aboard the Baron Ogilvy of the Baron line, out of Glasgow, again bound for Australia. And he made the passage there and back to Liverpool on her, with no unusual incident to mark either voyage. It was after his ship had discharged her cargo of frozen mutton at the latter port and was on her way to Barry, on the Welsh coast, to load with coal for the British fleet, that he met with his second and greater adventure. For at noon of the next day the stern lookout made out a periscope sticking its tiny head about six inches above the waves in the wake of the ship. He gavo the alarm, and part of the crew was set to work immediately swinging out the lifeboats. Almost all the rest were ordered below to help the stokers crowd on steam. Meanwhile the gun crew manned the 13-pounder at the stern, and the captain started his distress rockets soaring. But neither stern gun nor rockets brought results. And with all the extra stokers the Baron Ogilvy could make no more than 11 knots. The submarine discharged her first torpedo at 12:15, and missed. Then, to get into better position, she rose to the surface, and in the course of the chase circled the freighter two or three times, diving and rising like a great porpoise. Thought They Had Lost Her. The Ogilvy appeared helpless. While the submarine, whether submörged or awash, was racing ahead of her or abreast of her, her stern gun could not be brought to bear on its target. The captain steered a zigzag course, ever edging toward shore. The submarine discharged another torpedo about three o'clock, and missed again. Then for a while she was no longer seen. The crew of the Ogilvy thought they were free of her. Their gun crew had fired 83 shots, all the ammunition they had. About five o'clock, to their consternation, the submarine rose from the sea on their starboard bow and started shelling the Ogilvy with both deck guns. The freighter was only about three-quarters of a mile off shore by this time, and Captain Thompson beached her, while the submarine lay off half a mile and continued her shelling. Both masts of the Ogilvy, her wireless house and her funnel were carried away, but the only human casualty aboard her was a leg wound suffered by one of the gunners. The battle speedily attracted the coast guard ashore, which brought out artillery and drove the enemy off. Two days later the Ogilvy was pulled off the rocks and into a floating drydock. Her crew made their way to Barry and were discharged. Young Barnett shipped on the Leyland liner Anglian, at London, February 3, and landed in Boston two weeks later. --- L.

WANT TO WORK IN ALASKA Sixty Thousand Persons Have Applications on File for Jobs on the Railroad. Portland, Ore.—Almost 60,000 persons have applications on file for positions with the Alaska Engineering commission, which has charge of the construction of the government's railroad in Alaska. The commission will employ 6,500 men in construction work this summer, which is an increase of 1,000 over last summer's maximum. The Seward division will have 1,000 men, the Anchorage division 3,500 men, while the Nenana division will have 2,000 on the payroll. From present indications the line to Chickaloon, in the Matanuska coal fields, will be completed by August 1. Station work on the 14 miles from King's river to Chickaloon was let this winter and construction is being rushed. Plans for the coming season include the construction of all bridges in the Seward division, so that by next fall the old railroad between Seward and Mile 71 will be ready for heavy traffic. Preliminary work is now under way for the construction of the $300,000 railroad bridge across the Susitna river at the mouth of Indian creek. Requisitions for supplies to the estimated value of $1,055,000 have been received at the Portland headquarters of the commission. MAKES ANNUAL TEST OF COINS Government Agents' Inspection to See If All Are of Standard Weight. Philadelphia.—The assay commission, which annually comes to the Philadelphia mint to examine the weight and quality of gold and silver coins made during the course of the year at the mints in Denver, San Francisco and this city, has begun its work here. The commission numbers fifteen. L. A. Fischer of Washington, who is connected with the bureau of standards, department of commerce, at Washington, was chosen chairman of the commission, which is annually appointed by the president. "The object of the commission is to check up on the various mints and see that the coins stamped off are of the proper standard," said Mr. Fischer. "Specimens of coins were selected at random at the various mints during the course of the year and sent here for examination. They reach us here carefully sealed and we weigh and test them." $66,500 FROM OLD STOCK Wisconsin Woman Realizes on Stock Bought 25 Years Ago and Long Forgotten. Milwaukee, Wis.—Twenty-five years ago Miss M. L. Martin paid 10 cents a share for 5,000 shares of Hecla mining stock. She forgot the investment, changed her name to Mrs. Mary Humes, and recently, after a search of years, the company located her under her new name, paid her $68,500 in back dividends, and informed her that her stock was worth $8 a share. In the early days of the company, when assessments were being levied, John A. Finch, one of the officers, paid the $400 assessments. Fortune to Delivery Boy. Tiffin, O.-The late William Van Nest, a retired carriage manufacturer, who was found dead recently, by his will gives the bulk of his $25,000 estate to LeRoy Cadwallader, twenty years old, a poor delivery boy. The boy had been the favorite companion of the old man and it was he who discovered Van Nest's body after life had been extinct several days. "Hurrah! The staunch Republicans, white and black, elected Mr. H. Mendenhall as mayor of the largest city with Nonpartisan commission form of government in the U. S." "What's the matter with Mendenhall? He's all right. Who is all right? Mendenhall." We knew that right would prevail and we'd get our mayor and commissioners, too. "Nothing is to be gained by falsehoods."
