KANSAS BISHOP LEE AND FAMILY HELD UP BY BANDITS Wilberforce, Ohio, Jan. 6.—Two heavily masked bandits entered the home of Bishop B. F. Lee, senior Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, last Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, and after covering Bishop Lee, his wife and daughter with guns robbed them of a considerable amount of money and escaped. It is said that burglars boldly entered the front door of the house while the bishop and his family were resting after dinner and while one of the men guarded Bishop Lee, another went through his clothes. They also picked up a purse containing $50 belonging to Miss Lee and another containing a small amount of money belonging to Mrs. Lee. They pocketed the money and left the house. On account of poor telephone connections Bishop Lee was unable to report the matter to the Xenia police, and no report was made of the matter until late Tuesday afternoon. Wilberforce is about three and one-half miles from Xenia. The police say the Lee's were unable to give any description of the burglars who were heavily masked, and could not tell whether they were white or colored men.

Plans to Open its Doors Jan. 1, 1923, in Philadelphia. Major R. R. Wright of Georgia, President. Philadelphia, Pa.What will be the largest colored company in the country when organized, is fast emerging from a possibility to a reality. This is the Citizens and Southern Trust Company of Philadelphia, Pa., of which Major R. R. Wright, former president of the Georgia State College, Savannah, Ga., is president and prime mover. A big meeting was recently held in Holy Trinity-Baptist church, Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor, and the best indications are that this gigantic Negro Trust Company will formally open its doors to the public January 1, 1923, the Sixtieth Anniversary of Negro freedom in the United States. A large and enthusiastic crowd assembled. Speakers were: R. S. McKinley, vice-president of the oldest bank in the United States, the Bank of North America, capital and surplus, $4,500,000; Messrs. John Lynn and T. A. Lynn, attorney and Philadelphia manager of the largest insurance company in the world, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which has in force over $250,000,000 of insurance on over 1,800,000 Negro lives; Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor; Major R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens and Southern Banking Company, also president of the proposed trust company; Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, and Wm. B. Ridley, attorney. The new trust company is an outgrowth of the Citizens' and Southern Banking Company, started by Major Wright two years ago. In this new venture he has the backing of the best bankers and financiers of the country. On the advisory committee are: E. Pusey Passamore, president of the Bank of North America; Asa S. Wing, president of the Provident Life and Trust Co.; Elmer Parsly of the great banking house of Parsly Bros. and Co.

Also the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the largest insurance company in the world, which recently gave a luncheon in its palatial dining room in New York to the bishops of the A. M. E. church, at the request of Major Wright. Vice-President Gastcn of the Metropolitan said "our company collects over thirty-three million ndollars a year from colored people. We feel we should give some of this back to aid the min their enterprise. Major Wright has the most reasonable plans ever brought to us and through his trust company, we will be highly pleased to co-operate with him. If you put it over you will have millions of dollars at your command." Mr. McKinley said: "The oldest bank in America greets you. The other day when your board met in the Board Room of the Bank of North America you made history; for the Bank of North America was organized when the financial fortunes of the American soldier in the revolutionary war were at low ebb. We financed American independence and won. You must organize to finance real freedom of your people." Dr. Graham said: "This is an epoch. Major Wright has done for the Negro what was never done before. We all know of white people helping our churches and schools, but they don't pay much attention to our business. By getting the best, the very best and biggest white bankers in this town and leading insurance companies of this country at his back, Major Wright has a business foundation for the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company that no other Negro financial institution ever had. Certainly in the North, and that means success to start with. I am for the Citizens and Southern and my church will follow me." Major Wright announced that progress is being made. Over 100,000 worth of stock has been sold and a quarter million expected by January 1. Kansas City, Kansas, Friday. Jan. 12, 1923 "WE ARE SPLITTING TOO MANY HAIRS" SAYS MIDNIGHT Chicago, Ill.—While we step into the New Year we find that our people are trying to split hairs over white folks, and I wish the damphules will stop and go on get together and try to accomplish something this week. A few politicians got together and defeated the Dyer bill and now comes forth someone and declares that Perry W. Howard was the cause of the defeat, and some others declare that the National Association, with DuBois, Pickens, Johnson, et al, defeated it. None of these men belonged to the Senate and how in the hen feathers could they defeat it. You men stop trying to find the fault and get ready to locate it in 1924 at the ballot box. If the Republican party has drifted to the well, I don't know where except to say away from the party of Lincoln, then let us drift away from that party. Let the Republicans get out in the cold, get hungry a few days and I think when they get back they will come to their duty. Human life is too cheap, and the lawmakers will not take steps to stop it. The Dyer bill was aimed to end lynching. It would not only culpable local officers and complaisant State courts, but the lynchers themselves responsible to the Federal au- thority. It was killed by filibuster and indifference. The only argument brought against it is that it is unconstitutional and won't work. Then find out whether an effectual antilynching bill can be drawn that will be constitutional—and if not, let's alter the Constitution. I put it down and put it down hard that it is high time that lynching was stopped, and this stopping must not be long delayed by partisan politics. Our country right now is in a heluva fix. A lawless crowd within the government trying to regulate law. Two governments can not exist in the same place at the same time without a clash. The K. K. K. will run this country or the regular constituted law will do it, and now the question is, which? This question will have to be answered and perhaps earlier than you think for. Look what happened a few hours ago in Louisiana, look what has happened in other places. That white man had better wake up on earth or he may wake up in one of the other climes, and I do not know which one. Good heaven and good hell, and both places are being filled up every day. Who will be the next to follow? Last year there were picnics, hu- (Continued on Page 4.) BANDIT HOLDS UP MILES GROCERY. Tuesday morning at about 6:30 when Mr. Albert Miles was in the act of building a fire in his grocery store, 1208 North Ninth street, a white man entered the store and called for a box of penny matches and after, his change was given him he stuck his gun in Miles' face and forced him back in the corner of the room. The stick-up rifled the cash register, where he got $40 in nickles, dimes, quarters and halves. Mr. Miles gave a good description of the man and feels sure he would recognize him readily if he saw him. DR. W. H. MEADOWS: Dr. W. H. Meadows, who came to this city about eighteen months ago from Hoffman, Oklahoma and purchased one of the finest pieces of property on Haskell avenue, Number 430, is a graduate of the Botanic School at Watchataw, Germany, one of the oldest Botanical schools, as well as having at its head, and instructors, men of research, in the science of botanical remedies of the world. Dr. Meadows spent eight years in the school, or in other words, he had to spend this time according to their course, before a diploma was granted him or any one who could receive their sheepskin. Dr. Meadows returned home about twelve years ago and opened an office in Oklahoma and put his medicines on the market of his own compounding known as "Dr. W..H. Meadows' New Discovery Remedies," and it was not but a short time before the Meadows' remedies were being called for all over the country and today he is sending his medicine throughout the United States and Canada with testimonials coming every day to his office of its wonderful reaching power, in curing and building broken down humanity. In the published testimonials of Dr. Meadows they are not way off hundreds of miles, but right here at home, with name and number. A guarantee goes with every bottle. The doctor has a fine wife and one child four-year old, a sweet little girl. Hundreds go to his office, some coming for many miles in Kansas and Missouri. His phone is busy all during the day for calls of his medicine. Mrs. Hazel Capps-Johnson, who was called here on account of the death of her father in Kansas City, Mo., returned to her home in Chicago this week.

One of the most enjoyable affairs of its kind was the open house party given under the auspices of the Daughters of Zion Club of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth James, 2012 Walnut Blvd. The house was very artistically decorated. The Club colors were carried out in every detail. There were many pretty evening gowns. The program was excellent. Among the members were: Dr. A. Porter Davis, Mr. Fred Fitchue, Miss Leola Plummer, Mrs. Celesta Graves, Miss Jackson. Each one performed to the delight of all and received hearty applause. Everyone present graciously enjoyed themselves and regretted when the hour came to say good-bye.. The Club provided a special car to bring some of the elderly ladies of the church to this affair, namely: Mrs. Jennie Palmer, Mrs. Fannie Moore, Mrs. L. Mann and Mrs. Lily Wheeler. They were much pleased and enjoyed it. The Club, in its financial effort has been a success. Collected by the divisions, seven in number up to that date, was $78.18. Mrs. E. C. Pickens and Mrs. Zulah Jones wore the blue ribbon for bringing in the most money, the amount being $15 each. This Club has been exceedingly prosperous and received splendid support for which the president desires to thank every one who contributed in any way to its success. The Club has handled over $500. Mrs. A. R. Merritt is its president, and Mrs. Zulah Jones its secretary. Metropolitan Baptist Temple will issue a monthly church magazine, the first issue to appear the first of February.

Missoula, Mont., Jan. 10.—Joseph Wells, colored, who claimed he once won the Kentucky derby and was one time a member of General Nelson A. Miles' bodyguard, died of pneumonia here at the age of 115 years. He was believed to be the oldest man in Montana. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1807. His mother was a slave. With his mannerisms and time-warped visage, his 'story' of how he won the Kentucky derby, strapped to the back of the 'winner of the Blue Glass classic, was an interesting tale. IN SOCIETY.

It was sunshine, balmy and every living creature seemed to give Him, who made it, praises. It was the first Sunday in 1923 and multitudes of human life who honor the Lord's day found their way to one of His Temples of their choice. First church was filled with Christians, church goers and sight seers, but all received their portion from a sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffith, that made every mind act and feel they were no less than in the house of God. The minister's discourse followed and carried out his theme, in the series of his special sermons, "Is Christ a Necessity." Subject, "Love one Another," John 13:34-35. The speaker reached the hearts of both saint and sinner of true Christian love and what it would do for the vilest of mankind. Hearts were made to weep and rejoice. At the close a number joined the -church. These sermons are of special preparation, annointed with the holy spirit. Dr. Griffin in these series of sermons, as many say, ascended new heights in his ministerial work here and is carrying his hearers with him. Monthly communion was administered to 350 at the close of the morning service and one adult baptized. The Junior Missionary girls, come out Sunday, in their white robes, some twenty or more. The ushers were wearing their new badges Sunday for the first time. They look very nice as well as appropriate. Rev. Jordan Allen filled the pulpit at the evening service to a fine audience, when he delivered a fine sermon. One young man was happily converted. The Friday night class meeting is growing from every point of view and those present always receive a blessing. Come out tonight and enjoy this meeting of grace. The Senior and Junior leagues on Sunday evening are strengthening to all who attend and interesting programs are rendered each Sunday evening. The pastor will deliver another special sermon Sunday morning on his second series. Come out and come early if you want a choice seat. You always have a welcome at First church.

He told how obedient Abraham was in starting on a journey, when ordered by our God; although the place was a sealed order, that is, unknown to him. His faith in God caused him to start out. He showed in his sermon that our faith should be just as implicit today. At 8 p. m., our pastor preached to hundreds more, a very fine sacramental sermon, and many partook of the Divine Ordinance. The most appropriate song sung at the Lord's Supper was "Christ Praying in the Garden of Gethsemane." Some of the special music of the day was a saxaphone solo by Mrs. A.-Boone, and a solo by Mrs. Johnson, an evangelistic singer. Prof. A. J. Neely, supervisor of our schools, made a good talk, and some joined the church during the day. Mesdames S. Rollins and L. Davis were reported sick.

Evening Service 7:30 P. M. Sunday brought out a large congregation of members and friends of Allen, who were filled with rich gospel food by the pastor, Rev. C. R. Tucker. His text was taken from Proverbs, 18th chapter and Tenth verse, Subject: "The Name of the Lord's Strong Tower." It was a most scholarly and spiritual sermon and the entire audience felt the spirit of the Lord, through the argument of the inspired speaker. At 3:30 in the afternoon, Rev. S. H. Rhone of Trinity A. M. E. church, in the city, delivered a sermon that reached the hearts of his hearers. Rev. Rhone, who has a fine voice, sang a solo "In Jesus," which mellowed the hearts of those present.

At 7:30 the pastor, Dr. Tucker, delivered his second strong sermon for the day, who was greeted with a good audience. He preached from Jeremiah, 8th chapter and 22nd verse; subject, "Balm of Gilead." The weekly meetings are growing in number and interest. Are you one who are helping to make it so? We will expect to see you at Sunday's services. Men Are Like That. My husband and I, while dining at a cafe, saw a young woman acquaintance who is not only extremely homely but who has unattractive manners. We discussed her quietly. Later we went to call on a distant relative of this girl, and I mentioned that we had seen her at dinner. The girl was not a favorite with my hostess and both of us proceeded to enumerate her shortcomings. My husband is deaf and had been paying no attention to our gossip. Suddenly he turned to our hostess and said: "We just met Marian, and my wife declares she looks and actensh like you to be your daughter." You can imagine what I said to him later—Exchange. Invention Tests Air The Paris-London air service has an ingenious instrument for measuring the depth of fog above the stairing place at Croydon or Abbeville, and so to determine whether there is clear, dry weather a few hundred feet up. The instrument, which is based on the property of human hair of contracting sharply on passing from wet to dry air, consists of a hair attached to a trigger that holds a ring. The instrument is sent aloft with toy balloons on a string; as soon as it reaches dry air the hair contracts, pulls the trigger, and down comes the ring on the string.—Youth's Companion.

WILLING TO DO HIS SHARE Jack Dempsey's Really Amusing Story of Irishman Made a Hit With English Hocts. Jack Dempsey's recent visit to London was a brief one but it afforded him time enough to establish a brilliant reputation as an after-dinner speaker. Several London newspapers, in fact, declared him to be a better after-dinner speaker than Chauncey Depew or James Russell Lowell. Jack made his reputation at a luncheon given in his honor by Lord Northcliffe. All England's greatest statesmen, artists and millionaires were gathered round the board. When the young champion was called on for a toast he rose and said: "I am a good deal like the Irishman who attended a dinner where every guest had to make a speech, sing a song or tell a story. When the Irishman's turn came he got up and said: "I can't make a speech, or sing a song, or tell a story, but I'll fight any man in the room." MADE HIM FEEL THE COLD Young Man's Excellent, Exemplification of the Power of Mind Over Matter. The power of mind over matter has been discussed since mankind found itself. Epictetus, the Roman slave, knew much about it; so did Marcus Aurelius; Bishop Berkeley of England had his theory; in our day and country it has been made much of by many persons. The latest advocate is Emile Coue, the French exponent of autosuggestion. Examples of this influence may be discovered anywhere. In an elevator, for instance, two young men were discussing the weather. "Pretty cold this morning," said one, "Not so cold," declared the other, throwing out his chest. "It was 36 degrees by my thermometer," said the other. "Gee!" shivered the second. "If I'd a known that I'd a put on my overcoat." IN STRICTLY FORMAL STYLE Youth's Grace Before Meal Certainly Savored Strongly of the Corre- lspondence School. Roberts is a correspondence specialist. He writes letters for a large wholesale house eight hours a day. A few days ago he was dining at the home of a friend. As they sat down to the meal he was unexpectedly called upon to say grace. This was something Roberts had never done, but he prided himself on never saying that he could not do anything. So, after a moment's hesitation, he plunged into the prayer: "We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your favors of this date. O'Lord," he began. "Permit us to express our gratitude at this evidence of thy good will. May we merit the confidence thus shown in us, while at the same time trusting to receive more favors in the future. Amen."—Kansas City Star. What Ruth Knew. Ruth is in the primary grade. Her teacher has been impressing on the little boys the necessity of avoiding cigarettes if they wish to grow big. And Ruth has been impressed. The other evening her mother took her to a moving picture show and in one of the pictures shown were a number of elves. For one minute Ruth looked at them and then she said: "Oh, mother, there's a lot of boys who smoked cigarettes when they were little and stayed that way." The Boomerang. My most embarrassing moment was at a family gathering where a lot of cousins, stepsisters and half-sisters were present. We had not met in several years and there was a little jealousy among us. I heard them mention the name Marie several times, so finally asked: "Who is Marie? Is that Mary, with her name-styled up to Marie?" A sarcastic old aunt replied: "Yes, Maggie, just as yours is styled up to Marguerite."—Chicago Tribune. Ended Her Fondness My first love affair occurred when I was about sixteen. A young man two years my senior, whom I was very fond of, had been calling on me. One day I received a nice box of candy which I was very proud of. The following day I received a letter meant for the other girl, telling her that he was sending her a nice box of candy. I never cared to see him any more.—Chicago Journal. Something Strange Madge—When you met the famous writer of South Seas stories what did he have to say? Marjorie—Wanted to know what my ukulele was. Evesore. Crawford—Most men in public life are not as bad as they are painted. Crabshaw—No, my boy, nor even as bad as the statues erected to their memory.

Well-bred persons never boast about it. It's very unlucky to lose $13 on Friday. The best revenge for a wrong is to forgive it. If thou canst not see the bottom, wade not. He who wants content can't find an easy chair. Time flies, but the orchestra leader can beat it. Where there is no purpose there is no progress. Many a man is making his "mark" in Germany. Hard cash is also so called because it is hard to get. Professional bouncers nearly always turn out well. Pay your debts first and make presents afterward. If you mock the lame you will go-so yourself in time. A lot of safes are not what they are cracked up to be. Most women are afraid of a loose dog or a tight man. "Better be ten minutes ahead than ten seconds behind. Virtue is its own reward, while vice gets all the publicity. Seldom does anyone have to apologize for keeping still. It's a rare treat when a mulser invites you to join him. It is reasonably safe to judge a man by the friends he hasn't. It's a poor dog that can't make a man mad by biting him. Love and hate have good memories; only indifference forgets. Fame seldom comes to the man who sits down and walts for it. A sensible woman seldom wastes her time on a handsome man. The best that can be said of some folks is that they mean well. Pride is as great a beggar as want and a great deal more saucy. Let the sluggard attend a picnic and the ant will surely come to him. One of the main troubles with us is that we are too busy to live right. Love may make the world go round, but money lubricates the machinery. Only those have lived well who have not lived for themselves alone. When a new girl comes to a small town all the boys sit up and take notice. A woman will forgive a man anything except a refusal to ask forgiveness. How many times a day do you commend? How many times do you find fault? A man who gets desired results is allowed to do the work any way he pleases. of Kansas City, Kansas Sixth and Minnesota Avenue At the close of business December 29th, 1922 RESO Loans and Discounts Overdrafts Panking House H.

Combined Deposits, $10,833,852,46 Los Angeles Young Lady Didn't Really Require Ticket Offered by the Motorcop. A certain Los Angeles motorcop is still gasping for breath. On Wilshire boulevard the other day he overhauled a fast-stepping car driven by a young lady who looked as if she should have known better. With the customary politeness of the average member of his profession, or would you call it trade, he demanded roughly: "Where do yuh think you're gain'?" "Why, I'm going home," replied a sweet, unperturbed voice. "Well, don't be in such a hurry. Walt, now, till I give you a ticket." And the young lady knocked him cold by replying: "Really, I don't need any ticket, I live right here in Los Angeles, you know."—Los Angeles Times. TROUBLE WAS NOT PHYSICAL Lady's Apparent Suffering Merely the Result of Her Hands Being Temporarily Occupied. Passers-by stopped and looked. The lady's face was writhing as if she was in terrible agony. Her mouth worked up and down and she seemed to be suppressing shrieks of pain. Then a girl acquaintance approached hurriedly and gazed at her face. "Why," she exclaimed "what on earth is the matter?" The twitchings ceased and a sweet smile took their place. "With me?" inquired the sufferer. "Why nothing." "But you look ill," said the girl. "Your face—it looked as if you were in dreadful pain." The lady held out her hands. In one was a paper parcel in the other her umbrella. "I was only trying," she explained, "to work the edge of my vell down over my chin, dear." The crowd passed on. SIGHS FOR REAL SUCCOTASH Oldtimer Deplores Fact That the Dainty Seems to Have Gone Out of Fashion. When I was a boy I was very fond of succotash, and down in New England years ago we were told that it was made as the Indians made it, just pole beans and corn boiled together, and maybe it wasn't good! In travelling around the country at various hotels I often ask for succotash especially at this season of the year when the beans and corn are just right but what offerings are placed before me under the name of succotash! In many parts of the country lima beans are used in making succotash, and lima beans make nice succotash, but I don't think the Indians knew anything about lima beans. Succotash, johnnycake, hoecake, apple turnovers, frizzled beef, do you remember them?—From a Letter to the New York Herald. Gift Indeed! The churchwarden of a country church was to be married to a nurse from a local hospital. A fortnight previously it was decided by the members of the congregation to give him some token of esteem. A committee sat and at last decided on a sum of money in a net purse worked by the curate's wife. The decision was announced at a church meeting by the curate, a nervous little man. "My dear friends," he said, "it has—er—been decided—er—to present to our esteemed friend, Mr. L—, on the—er—occasion of—er—his marriage, £25—and a pet nurse!" Then the smiles grew and grew.—London Tit-Brite.

At each hearing where applications of foreign-born persons seeking citizenship in the United States are considered and passed on, incidents come up which add humor to the otherwise serious process. At a recent hearing before Judge W. W. Thornton of the Superior court, Room 1, George Mackay, United States naturalization officer, was quizzing an applicant regarding his knowledge of the inner workings of the government and regarding the history of the United States. "Who was the first President of the United States?" he asked. "Washington, D. C," replied the anxious applicant. "Just leave off the D. C," said Mr. Mackay. "Oh, I don't care," said the applicant nonchalantly, with an accompanying gesture of his hand.—Washington Star. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the Distroct Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Charles O.
