To The Advocate:— We are pleased to say that the Exposition of Nations and Church Judgice was very much enjoyed by many of the two Kansas City people. Some of the most noted of the race were in attendance during the short period of the entertainment. The churches, were very much interested in the social, moral and intellectual uplift of the people. This annual festivity which has been, enjoyed by many in the last four years has proven to be of much good to all concerned. As an outing, it was much needed for our wives, husbands, children and friends to enjoy the pleasant evenings of the season. To greet each other as church men and women, in a great cause of industry and thriftiness, was a pleasant act under the law of love which is of good-will toward men. Labor Day evening was the greatest of the season, people from most anywhere around to see the contest of the babies and queens. Mrs. Smith of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, had the largest amount in the baby contest. When the applause was over for the babies, Dr. Anthony said, "Queens in the contest come forward." The Mrs. Smith of the Mount Pleasant Baptist church had $33; Mrs. Lizzie Suel of Metropolitan Baptist Temple had $60; Mrs. — of Pleasant Green Baptist church had $81; Mrs. E. J. Thompson of the Eighth Street Baptist Tabernacle had $15.05; Mrs. F. B. Watson, of the First Baptist church had $122.40. God bless these great women who worked so nobly in the cause of their church and community.—Sus- scriber. MR. AND MRS. ALEXANDER BEING HIGHLY ENTERTAINED Mr. and Mrs. Alfred W. Alexander who is visiting Mrs. Alexander's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Dandridge on North Mill street, have been delightfully entertained with sight-seeing trips in Greater Kansas City and house entertainments. This being Mr. Alexander's first visit to the States from his native home, Victoria, B. C., he says he is very much impressed with the States and the people. The ancestry of the Alexanders were the first colored people to settle on the island where many of this pioneer stock have become quite prominent in the affairs of their country and also in its financial and commercial enterprises. Mr. Alexander has one brother who has been in the trenches in France for about a year. Mrs. Alexander is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Dandridge who own and live in a beautiful home, 252 North Mill street. Mrs. Alexander is a fine, stately looking woman and she owes the greater part to her handsome mother. She is quite fond of jewelry and is in possession of a number of costly diamond settings. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander left Wednesday night for an Eastern trip, stopping off in Milwaukee, Chicago and other points East, returning by the way of St. Louis, back to Kansas City, where they will spend the balance of their time, before returning to their home. Mrs. M. Curry, 940 Nebraska avenue, and children have returned from Ottawa, where they buried husband and father. The family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. FOURTH QUARTERLY MEETING A FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY The services on Last Sabbath were largely attended, at all the services. Dr. Griffin delivered his usual strong gospel, sermon at the morning service and at the evening service his sermon was one of wonderful power of Christian instructiveness. The doctor's evening sermons are bringing out larger and larger audiences each Sunday. evening. This Sunday will be the fourth and last quarterly meeting for this Conference year. The presiding elder, Rev. J. T. Smith, will preach at the morning service. His sermons are always full of rich thought and blessings. The pulpit will be filled at the 9 o'clock communion service with one of our strong neighboring ministers. Major N. Clark Smith met the choir Tuesday night, and no doubt some extra music from this great choir will be exhibited. The pastor says his "dollar money" seems to be a bit lazy, but his faith and confidence in his church and people cannot fall him. Visitors and strangers are always in welcome pews of First A. M. E. church. Come and worship with us and let us become better acquainted with each other. REGISTRATION OF WOMEN REGISTRATION OF WOMEN. Mrs. A. M. Brown, president of the Attack's Red Cross unit, was assisted in registering women at Douglass school, by Mrs. Matthews all day. Ther registrars who wrote part of the day were: Misses caution Davis, Pynola Moore, Marie Johnson, Eva Washington, Mabel Jackson, Olivia Lewis, Orpheus Scott, Janie Miller and Mosdames C. Dameron, T. A. Reynolds, and C. Meeks. Miss Ida Mae Jones was there a few moments. Nearly 100 were registered. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Communion was observed by a large number and almost all present testified for the blaster in such an enthusiastic manner that soon His Divine Presence was felt in every heart, making the service one of grand praise. Owing to the earnestness of the service, and the prayers of the saints, there was one conversion and seven new additions to the church. Every one went home with a song of praise in his or her heart. The collection for the day was fine. Do not forget the men's meeting on Sunday afternoon. Strangers in the city and sinners will always find a hearty welcome at First Baptist by the pastor, Rev W. A. Bowren, and his members. We were very pleased with those strangers who tacked Sunday morning. Come again often. We hope that many of the First Baptist ladies will devote some of their time and talent to this great Red Cross work spoken on by Mrs. Dows, the president of the work in Wyandotte county. METROPOLITAN CHURCH. This pretty edifice, built for God, had its usual quota of persons in its congregation. At 11 a. m. the pastor preached a fine sermon from Gal. 5:22-23; "The Fruit of the Spirit," and had the congregation in one of the beautiful old hymns. Mother Frye, wife of the late beloved Deacon Frye, was present and made a good Christian talk. After service her friends held an informal reception for her. She is here from Lawrence and will remain three weeks. At the evening service the pastor preached from Rev. 12th chapter, about the great dragon. The choir sang some pretty anthems, also sang "He Lifted Me" sweetly. Two united with the church by letter and a large collection was taken up. Sunday, September 8th, is covenant and sacrament, which was deferred, but will be administered then. Friends are asked to attend. BIBLE CLASS. This class met at Mrs. Kemp's and read two chapters which were very cheering. Mrs. L. Hall opened the meeting. The singing of "God Will Take Care of You" greatly inspired all, especially Mrs. Merritt, who is not so well, but was present. Next meeting is at Mrs. Rice's, 1415 North Eighth Street.

The Summer.High school at the corner of Ninth St. and Washington Bvd. under the principalship of that excellent-educator, John A. Hodge, will open its doors' Monday to the youth of our boys, and girls, many for their first, entrance and, some for their last time. This week has been registration week and, it's found a splendid showing has been recorded. Summer high school of Kansas City, Kansas, ranks among our very best high schools of the country and there are but few, in the country that can show such a high educational standard. The graded schools of some dozen with that widely known educator, A. J. Neely, as general supervisor, will throw wide their doors Monday with every room equipped with selected material for the sole benefit of training, refining and cultivating the raw material of our young and tender plants of the race. The parent, the teacher, the supervisor, the school board, the superintendent, the race, yes the world, is looking forward to the time when history will have to record either their success or failure. Which will it be? All hope for the former. UNCLE SAM GOES IN Washington, Sept. 5.—Uncle Sam and "Big Business" are synonymous these days. Since the war started, that is, since the United States "engulfed," the world has been the pendulum of its affairs, business and otherwise, swing gradually toward the capital of the country. The United States is the main "operator" in the biggest business deal the world has ever seen—war. From London the keyboard which handled the war now has an extension run to Washington, and America has entered, the market on a scale which in Will street parlance is decidedly "bullish." Million in gold, million in men and millions in supplies, ships and munitions are what America is throwing into the market. These million must be secured exactly as any trust must secure its capital. The government has had to combine, organize and girl itself the same way a corporation might on entering a fight to a finish with its fierce rivals. The effect of all this has been to transform the scene of government into one of business—big business. As an example of what one phase of activity has meant, take the ship-building enterprise. The United States has had to enter the market first for steel and other materials. Firms must be secured to build the ships. Then the ships must be fitted out when completed. One detail of this alone again illustrates the enormity of the business. Each ship must have refrigerating plants. Even when the whole plan was still "in the air," scores of experts in this line were conferring or seeking conference with the idea of efficiently carrying out just this on detail. And the refrigerating plant of a ship is only one of hundreds of other equally important parts. All of this has led to hundreds of the keenest technical and business men of the country being called in. Shipbuilding is only one part of the country's business, however. Taking every phase of the government's activity since entering the war and comparing it with the one item of shipbuilding, the layman can get some idea as to just how much of a "big business corporation" Uncle Sam has organized. Mrs. Bettie Johnson of Los Angeles spent a couple of days this week with Mrs. J. W. Bailey, 1853 North Eighth street. She left for Oankand, Cala, where she will visit a few days on her way home. Died—Mr. Jessie Woods, August 30th, at his cousin's home, Mrs. Wilson's, on New Jersey avenue. He had been sick less than a week. Mr. and Mrs. C. Buckner, 929 Spiklog, have returned from their visit at Montrose, Iowa. Dts RS ER ad Ge os RON Oe RR >, gE Fee a ee Ee ee ree me Ser nee ee si Be OS si Beng A A " ™ ae : Lote Bo LS SS ERATED ee!

KANSAS CITY, KAS. MAY PROSECUTE CHICAGO MAYOR UNPATRIOTIC UTTERANCES OF THOMPSON SUBJECT FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION Chicago, Sept. 4.—While Chicago prepared to bid farewell to her thousands of soldiers of the new national army today and her contribution to the Bazinbow division was speeding eastward, preparations for a house-cleaning that will clear the city of the stain of anti-war propaganda were under way. There were reports, apparently authentic, that the federal governmentaws making a very rigid investigation of the alleged pro-German utterances of Mayor William Hale Thompson,whose ruling permitted the people's council for peace and democracy to meet here Saturday. Reporters who were seeking to see Mayor Thompson during the night declared that a prominent German-propagandist also was on the trail of the Chicago chief executive and that secret service agents were prepared to arrest this man and make him explain his errand, should he confer with the mayor. Literally "Bib Bill". has taken to the woods. He remained out at Fox Lake, but not far from the watchful eyes of the secret service men and several newspaper reporters. Prominent Chicago politicians, say today the mayor's actions in the last four days have killed any chance he might have had in his proposed senatorial race, although the mayor's closest friends say he will launch his senatorial campaign down state this week. HOME SERVICE BY RED CROSS HOME SERVICE BY RED CROSS GREAT ORGANIZATION TO ACT AS ELDER BROTHER TO SOLDIER'S FAMILY Washington, D. C., Sept. 5.—As the first step in a plan to train volunteer Red Cross workers for home service during the war, the Department of Civilian Relief of the American Red Cross is holding a conference of Home Service Directors here today. While the Government will assume the care of dependent families of soldiers, there will be needs for other than material aid which the Red Cross plans to provide. It will be able to place at the disposal of families medical and legal aid together with advice and suggestion on those affairs which ordinarily are settled by the husband. In his absence the Red Cross will act as an elder brother to his family. This is called home service. train volunteer or home volunteer Department of American Red conference of ors here today. vs. Plaintiff, No. 8110 Rosa R. Brown, Defendant. State of Kansas, Following the Washington conference, institutes to train volunteers in home service will be established throughout the country. Courses of instruction will last six weeks and include lectures and practical field work. Membership in institutes will be limited to twenty-five in order to secure adequate personal attention to each pupil. The Institutes will be in charge of special directors appointed by the Red Cross and will be run in connection with colleges or schools in the various cities. In charge of these institutes, ar Capital as Youould See It Yourself The War Capital as You Would See It Yourself By DAVID M. CHURCH L.N. S. Staff Correspondence I. N. S. Staff Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 5—Perhaps you have heard of the "gimmeguy." He is a peculiar animal, but not at all rare. He is of the male sex and talks in terms of the word "gimme." It is always either "gimme a match," or "gimme a cigarette." Washington since the outbreak of the war has developed a new strain of this species; it is the "get me man." The national capital is overflowing with the people who are here to get something. Hundreds of young men have flooded into the city and beieged their congressman and other "back home" officials to get them commissions in either the army or navy. It doesn't appear to the casual observer here as though any American is willing to be a private. There is the youth who doesn't want to go to war. He has come to Washington in hinds looking for a governmental position which will exempt him from the draft. Compensation doesn't matter; what he wants is to keep out of war. Then there is the great horde of men who have come to get fat government contracts. Any day at 10 in the morning you can find half a hundred important looking men, guarding fat bundles of documents, waiting at the doors of the State, War and Navy building in hopes of getting into see some one that can give them a contract. They range from the man who has come to offer the government lumber for governments to the youth who wants to sell the army all the best buckles. ```markdown ``` BY DAVID M. CHURCH. ```markdown ``` American soldiers marching through the streets of London after being reviewed by King George at Buckingham Palace. Tremendous enthusiasm was shown by the crowds that gathered. Many of the spectators along the line of march shook hands with the boys in khaki and they were cheered the entire route. W. Frank Persons, director general of Civilian Relief, has appointed Dr. Thomas J. Riley, general secretary of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities, and Porter R. Lee of the New York School of Philanthropy. Courses of instruction for Home Service workers will be held in practically every large city in the country. Extension courses will be given for smaller cities and towns.

To the above named defendant, Rosa R. Brown. Greeting: Said defendant, Rosa R. Brown will take notice that she has been sued for a divorce in the above entitled court, by said plaintiff, William H. Brown, on the grounds of extreme cruelty, gross neglect of duty and of abandonment of plaintiff for more than one year next preceding the filing of the petition in the above entitled action and that the defendant must answer the petition filed against her by the plaintiff, on or before the 12th day of October A. D. 1917, or the allegations in said petition will be taken as true and a judgment and decree for plaintiff, adjudging and decreeing a divorce to, him from the defendant, for the causes in said petition alleged, will be granted and rendered accordingly. Plaintiff, J. GUY BOOKER, Attorney for the Plaintiff Women haven't been missing in the "get me" class either. There are great numbers of young girls and women who have come to the capital to get positions. They are filling to fill the places of men who can go to war, but most of them have found the conditions of work altogether too strenuous and they are thinning out rapidly. College friendships, boyhood acquaintance, fraternal affiliations, every subterfuge has been resorted to by these persons in order to gain their ends. Army and navy officers and other officials have taken up the practice of leaving their offices by the side and back doors, in order that they mal dodge teh insistent demanders of concessions and privileges. Undoubtedly the work of the war capital has been considerably retarded by this horde of seekers for profit. In every office in the capital there is now an official "buffer." It is the duty of this person to weed out the undesirables. "Buffers" are just as persistent as the "get me men," and persons with real business find it most difficult to reach the proper official. In all fairness it must be said that the numbers of those who seek to give the government something are almost as large. But it has been found that there is generally an attachment to every gift, and the government has adopted an attitude of entire independence. Although he doesn't seem to thrive, the "get me man" continues to live on. Hotel keepers are the only sympathizers that he has, too. To the above named defendant: You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the above named court, by the above named plaintiff, 17th A Kansas S Hutchinson, Septe Under control of the Kansas The jewels of knowledge are o thus the Kansas State Fair, teaches breeder and buyer.

Once in the Limelight Being Tales of Thurs. Who Reached the Front Page and Then Dropped Back to Obscurity. ROLAND B. MOLINEUX. Of the many New York murder mysteries there is none more interesting or peculiar than that in which Roland B. Molineux figured as principal. It was a complicated affair which began over a petty quarrel at the Knickerbocker Athletic club and nearly ended in the electric chair. seltzer consisted ofonly half of the remedy and the balance was cyanid of mercury. The obvious clue to follow was the silver holder. An enterprising new paper reporter discovered that the initials on it were teh private man of a firm of Newark, N. J., jeweler. The books of the jewelers shows that they had made and sold 47 silver The Kolckerbocker Athletic club in 1895 was one of the newest clubs of its kind in the city. Prominent among its members was Molineux. Equality prominent was Henry Crossman Barnet, a rich yachtman, and the physical instructor of the club, Harry Cornish. During preparations for an amateur circus in 1896 Molineux and Cornish, through a series of petty discords, grew to be bitter enemies. Molineux with drew from the club because of the quarrel and joined the New York Athletic club, where he was, elected to the board of governors. Cornish about the same time by reason of a change of club policy was not allowed the use of the club house for living purposes and went to live in the apartment of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams. Mrs. Adams was an elderly woman who was distantly related to Cornish. With Mrs. Adams lived her daughter, Mrs Laura Rogers, who had secured a divorce from her husband. At no time was any scandal connected with either of these two women. The next character necessary to the advancement of the plot was Blanch Chesbrough, a vivacious, pretty blonde of 22. Molmeux at the time was general chemist for a large paint manufacturer in New Jersey and considered fairly wealthy. Both Mollineux and Barnet ware ardent suitors of Miss Chesbrough. On Thanksgiving Day, 1897, Mollineux proposed marriage to her. She did not then accept him. Barnet, as far as is known, never made any offer of marriage, but seemed to be the favored editor. On June 30, 1898, Barnet was taken violently ill. A doctor was called and discovered that he apparently was suffering from an advanced case of diphthema. The previous day he had apparently been well. When questioned, Barnet said the only drug which he had taken was a patent medicine sent him by mail. The medicine apparently was a harmless preparation, but the patient showed unmistakable signs of mercury poisoning. Examination of the supposed "medicine" disclosed the presence of mercury in great quantity. Barnet died and the real facts did not come out for some time. Soon after Barnet's death Molineux and Miss Chesbrough were married. On Christmas eve, 1889, Harry Cornish received a present by mail. It was a silver medicine bottle holder, and in it reposed a bottle of bromo salt. Cornish did not find out who sent the present, but, concluding that it came from someone of the club members, took it home. He mentioned the incident to both Mrs. Adams and her daughter and they admired the broder and remarked it was a useful present. Two or three days later Mrs. Adams had a severe headache. Her daughter requested the bromo scatzer that had been sent Cornish in the silver broder. Cornish opened the bottle and mixed up a dose for Mrs. Adams. She remarked that it tasted quay, but he insisted, her it was all right and she drank it. Three minutes later Mrs. Adams died to Cornish from the dining room to come and help her. He rushed to the room and in a few few minutes he died. The supposed tyranny selitzer consisted ofonly half of that remedy and the balance was cyanide of mercury. The obvious clue to follow was the silver holder. An enterprising newspaper reporter discovered that the initials on it were teh private mark of a firm of Newark, N. J., jewelers. The books of the jewelers showed that they had made and sold 47 silver "bottles" for candlesticks and toothpick holedrs. A small bottle of bromo selitzer fitted exactly inside them. It was obviously impossible to trace the silver holders, as some of them had been sold through department store trade—of which no record was kept. About this time there was a general buzzing around the Knickerbocker Athletic club. Someone had recalled the death of Barnet and the name of Rotand B. Mollueux was mentioned as being rather unfriendly to both the dead man and Cornish. He was also a chemist. The buzzing reached the ears of the police and Molineux was arrested. His trial was one of the most sensational ever held in New York. His father and mother stood by him throughout the whole proceedings. Evidence was introduced during the trial which indicated that Molineux and Miss Cheshire had been friend, long before they were married. This opened up the way for the introduction of the Barnet death and Molineux was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. He was actually in the death house at Sing Sing awaiting his end when a new trial was granted. In the new trial, a very tedious affair, he was finally acquitted. His wife secured a divorce and he dropped from the public eye. In 1914 he was working in his father's paint shop in Brooklyn when his mind became unbalanced. He was sent to the King's County Ayurveda. The long days he spent in the deaf's house were believed to have worked on his mind to such a degree that insanity resulted. He saw thirteen men go to the "chair" and believed that each day he would be the next. The mystery of the pot-on bottle was never cleared up. LICK 'EM FIRST SAYS'E. ROOT TEUTON POWER MUST. BE BROKEN, INSISTS THE FORMER SECRETARY Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Sept. 4—There can be no talk of peace and security of democracy with Germany in her present position," said Elihu Root, as president, in opening the fourth annual meeting of the American Bar association here. "If Germany had succeeded in what she started out to do and had come out with her power unbroken and we had been unable to defend our rights and had, not held Germany down in the last five months, her heel would have been on our neck. "We are in war, and the principal for which we fight is liberty, independence and our America county and our American life. Rome, Sept. 4. It is reported in circles close to the Vatican that the British government has drafted a proposals which will be handed to brief reply to Pope Benedict's peace the pontiff probably within the next 48 hours. In well posted quarters the belief was expressed that England's reply will consist of a reference to President Wilson's answer and that it will state that the ideas and ideals outlined in the America note are also those of Great Britain. ALLIES USING AIRPLANES TO SMASH ENEMY ALLIES USING AIRPLANES TO SMASH ENEMY Italians Drop Tons of Bombs on Austrian Naval Base. STRIKE U-BOAT SHELTER British Continue Raids on German Submarine Base With Good Results. Rome, Sept. 4 (via London).—Thirty Italian airplanes dropped nine tons of bombs on the Austrian naval base at Pola, causing destruction and large conflagrations; it is announced officially. London, Sept. 4.—Continuing their raids over Belgium British aviators Sunday night made attacks in the vicinity of Bruges. A British airplane fought six Germans and shot down one of them. The following official account of these operations were given out today: "Naval aircraft made a bombing raid at midnight Sunday on the docks, submarine shelters and railway sidings at Bruges. Bombs were observed to explode over the objectives and fire was caused adjacent to the lock gates of the Elseuse Canal. "A raid also was made early Monday morning on the aftrodome at Varsenaere (four and one-half miles southwest of Bruges). Bombs were seen to explode along the sheds. One of our machines was attacked by six hostile craft and succeeded in shooting down one out of control. In an engagement between one of our aircraft patrols and enemy machines there were three decisive combats. One of our machines failed to return." Geneva, Sept. 4.—A dispatch from Innsbruk says that after several urgent appeals, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg has consented to send two divisions of Bavarian troops from the Russian to the Isonzo front to strengthen the Austrian defense. The Skoda factory, the dispatch adds, is working twenty-four hours a day to supply heavy artillery in order to protect Hermada Heights, the key to Triest. The Austrian appeal for aid from Germany is considered significant here, especially since President Wilson's reply to the peace note has been made public. London, Sept. 4.—Field Marshal Haig resumed his offensive today with a sharp blow that advanced the British line portheast of St. Julien. Elsewhere on the British front the commander-in-chief reported: "North of Lens, at night, we carried out a successful raid. A number of Germans were killed and several taken prisoner. "Southwest of La Bassee hostile raiders were driven off. "Northeast of Ypres enemy artillery was active." Take Notice: We are still jogging your memory about refusing to buy or eat DeCoursey's ice cream or his White Rose butter. He was the segregation candidate for mayor.
