Zion Baptist church took up $42.00 in a public collection, the money to be used in hiring a special prosecutor in the Cook murder case. The deacons of the church and individual members are soliciting the funds also. Rev. Allen in a statement said his church was shocked at the murder, and he wants to see the guilty person brought to justice. Information has reached us that Cook had contemplated going on the railroad. His application was already in and he had been promised a job. It was his idea, according to reports to leave home and try to forget his troubles. Mr. Cook was a deacon in the church and bore an excellent reputation. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon from Mt. Zion Baptist church. Rev. Allen, pastor. Monday morning, Washington Benford, aged 39 years, 2049 North Hallock, fell from the Wood Bros. barge into the Missouri river and was carried down stream. He was drowned before aid could reach him.

According to reports Mr. and Mrs. Cook have been hard working people and by close saving had bought a piece of property at 1952 North Third street and another piece of property on Springfield boulevard. Mrs. Cook has been working for E. C. Cannon, grocer, for nine years, and was considered a good clerk by him. It seems that gossip went the rounds that they were friendly and at different times when Cook and Cannon talked over the affair, it has been said that Cannon said, "All right, I'll have Mrs. Cook stop work. I don't want her to work here if you don't want her to." Little misunderstandings like that soon blew over. According to Mrs. Cook had filed suit for divorce two different times and had one pending at the present time of the shooting. Wanted To Sell Property. Further information also revealed the fact that Cook wanted to sell the property on Springfield boulevard and wanted his wife to sign the papers. Upon her refusal it is alleged that he threatened her life. On Thursday, Cook laid off from work and followed his wife who went shopping. They returned home about 4:30. Mrs. Cook went back to work and Sam stayed at home. About 7 o'clock on Thursday the same night, Mrs. Cook came from the store. She went to visit Camelia Dodd at 315 Troup. Mrs. Cook on returning said her husband was dressed and said he was going to church. Suddenly he changed his mind and concluded he would stay at home. According to reports later on they got in an argument about signing the papers for the sale of the property. The writer was told that Cook threw a leather hat box at his wife and picked up a chair, then his wife seized a 38 Spanish make gun from under the mattress and fired. The next morning she was arrested by Costello and Little and alleged to have confessed to the shooting. E. C. Cannon, who was arrested, has been released and Mrs. Cook is out on a $2,000 bond.

Church has produced eloquent ministers that were real orators: Cain, Arnett, Derrick, Ransom, yet Bishop Carey cannot be omitted from that list. If any one doubts it, he should have heard the bishop Thursday, or he can ask Gov. Paulen. Bishop's Review of the Negro. Bishop Carey has been accustomed to talk before governors, lots of them, even Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Harding, yet he was never more happy than on this occasion, reviewing before these young Negro students the soldierly achievements of their people from Attucks at Boston Commons to our boys at the Hindenburg line, recalling their deeds of gallantry and daring with Washington at the surrender of Yorktown, with Jackson at New Orleans, with Perry on Lake Erie, with Scott in Old Mexico, with Butler at Fort Pillow; by themselves at San Juan Hill and with Pershing in devastated France. Bishop Carey's opostrophy to "Old Glory" was sublime. The times were troublous, the day was dark. The president knew not whither to turn. He bethought him of his own state, Illinois. He sent word home to send him 25,000 more sons to fill up the gaps, that southern chivalry had made. That great commonwealth sent a committee all the way to Washington to say to President Lincoln that Illinois was through, she would send no more of her sons to this war. Let the south with her eleven states secede and go! "Lincoln's massive chin dropped to his depressed breast at this disunion note. He turned sadly away and looking out of the window, it may have been in the direction of battle scarred Virginia, when, lo, a radiant, cheery reassuring note from the distance smote his ears. What was that sound? It arose from the swamps of Virginia, from the everglades of Florida, from the canebrakes of Louisiana, from the cotton fields of all Dixie The cry was: "We are coming Father Abraham, 200,000 strong!" Thus as the eleven stars were falling from old glory, they were not allowed to touch the ground, but Negro bayonets caught them, thrust them back into place and sealed them there with their blood! Bishop Introduces the Governor. When the bishop finished introducing the governor, the applause was deafening. Governor Paulen is a business man, not an orator and does not make any claims to such, but he recognizes one when he hears him. He declared that he had been introduced many times, but never before so eloquently as today. He did not wish to inject politics into this auspicious meeting, yet he could not refrain from saying that regardless of the, untrue things that were said of him during the cam- Number 36 N AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY Baches at Western University on the Beatrice Childs, Special Servvisor.

He was anxious to see to it that the colored boys and girls had the same opportunity as any other boys and girls in the state to become useful citizens. As proud as Kansas is of her agricultural standing and her mineral resources, she was prouder of her citizens. He was pleased to see that Pesident Peck had made that pittance of $70,000 granted by the last legislation stretch so far and so well. Professor King Laudus Governor. Professor King responded in his imitable style, observing that he had been told after the nomination that Mr. Paulen was a Kluxer. In the south where he came from that was a name not to be laughed at, so he was afraid of Mr. Paulen until he mustered up courage enough to broach the subject to him and learn from his own lips that he was not. In his contact with the governor since he heartily subscribed to the encomium of the bishop: "Governor is one of the best governors of one of the best states of the best country in the world." Attorney Green, a member of Wester nuniversity board, would take up no more time than to say that Governor Paulen is true blue to all the people and especially sincere with the colored people, not granting favors but performing his duty conscientiously. "But," concluded the attorney, with emphasis, "Western university must do her part." The bishop now turned the gavel over to President Peck, who regretted to have to extend the time, but could not close the meeting without a word from Mrs. Childs. She said that as soon as she looked into the face of Mr. Paulen, she never doubted him; for he looked too much like the lamented McKinley. President Young extended the greetings of Lincoln university and had greatly enjoyed this great occasion. The moving picture operator never missed an opportunity to attend Lincoln day exercises among colored people. So when he heard of this meeting he came. He thought race prejudice was silly and had none of it. He was glad of this opportunity to congratulate President Peck on the superb work he was accomplishing. Mrs. Paulen had accompanied her the governor and was glad that she had. She was not a politician but a home lady. She was struck with the neatness of the girls and the excellent care of their hair. She noticed the straightness of their stocking scams, the acid test of neatness. She complimented the boys on their appearance also. The program is not complete where Rev. Williams is without a word from him. His opinion of Kansas was exalted. In his childhood, a tramp came to his home. His father asked him where he was from. He said: "Kansas." "Then," said the father, "you are a great tramp for only great things are produced in Kansas." Rev. Williams impressed the students with the fact that they were sprung from a race of great achievements and that they must prove their metal. : = . a Ce SSC et | | F Watch the ADVOCATE ; _and save money by taking advantage ‘ _ of the Bargains Advertised | FOR EASTER : a ! - Levine’s $7ore : STORE | 1700 E 18th St. Corner 18th and Highland KANSAS CITY, MO. } WEAR THE DUNLAP SHOE EXCLUSIVE FOR MEN AND WOMEN PRICES $7.95 TO $10.00 } | OTHER: MAKES © AT LOWEST PRICES 2 ; Snappy Oxfords for young men , $3.95 and up : } Suggestive Styles for Women in Satin, Patent, Blond and | Gray Ki¢ | Shoes for Kiddies School and Sunday Wear } JAS.

FEDERAL FARM LOAN SYSTEM Washington, April 2.—The nearly one million colored farmers in the United States will be interested in the last report of the Federal Farm Loan Board which states that credit of two billion dollars has been ad- vanced to agriculture since the pas- sage of the Federal Farm Loan Act by Congress in 1916. Some of the general purposes of the act is to lower interest rates on first-mortgage farm loans; to provide long-term loans to farmers; and to make it easier for the landless to get land. Reporting loans last year of $127,- 355,000 to 39,905 borrowers by the Jand banks alone, the Board declared “the banks have met fairly all the requirements made upon them for credit.” While the loans by the land banks were less than those in 1924, the joint stock land banks advanced $131,430,000 to 19,699 borrowers last year, compared with $74,586,000 to abe producers in 1924. Through local national farm loan associations the Board said, farmers now practically own the twelve land banks, having furnished $52,000,000 out of the $53,769,000 in their cap- ital accounts. The Intermediate Cred- it Banks, established in 1923, have done $215,949,000 in business direct- ly with co-operative marketing or- ganizations secured by staple agricul- tural commodities, and $96,221,000 in farmers’ notes have been redis- counted. The largest loans last year were made to co-operative operating in wheat, cotton and wool.

The collection was $24.65. Many thanks are extended to those who contributed. TREMONT BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday, March 28th 1926, Sunday school opened at 10:30 o'clock, Press C. Jackson in charge.

PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Kansas City, Mo. The Sunday School's attendance, March 28, was fair. In the absence of Miss Forney, Superintendent Rosa Jones taught the Primary class. The interest the little ones took in the circumstances concerning the Lord's Supper, while their teacher was defly drawing them out and causing their undeveloped minds to sense the significance of the solemn feast, was refreshing. If such teaching is continued, the Faith of the Fathers is safe with them. The morning service's main features were: Clarinet Solo, "The Psalms," Master Perry Jones; Scripture, Isaiah 40, Dr. Lewis B. Moore of Philadelphia; Prayer, Rev. Benjamin Foster; Announcements, Pastor, in absence of Stated Clerk; Duet, Soorran and THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Alto, Mrs. Forney and Miss Wilson. Text, Romans, 7:21, "I find a law that when I would do good, evil is present with me." Dr. Moore set forth clearly, wittily, yet emphatically the dual nature of mankind and the incessant warfare of the evil self to overcome the better No one escapes this conflict. It is on until death, unless the evil self wins. Religion is not so much to get the people out of the alley, as to get the alley out of the people. The collection was increased to $116.27 by the $50.00 donation of the Gleaners' Club, proceeds of its entertainment, recently engineered by Mrs. Rosa Jones. ST. PAUL A. M. E.

From the biggest of the colored revues and carbarets come the talent that offers this sparkling Ethiopian entertainment; names there are on the roster known and admired wherever musical pieces have played. Some of the principals are making their initial burlesque appearance, all have played in higher priced offerings prior to their "Lucky Sambo" engagement. Just glimpse this array of performers and try to recall any single show within memory that has ever had so many stars; Julia Moody star recorder of phonograph disks, is the featured feminine player and she is doing her famous "blues" singing specialty besides playing in the two acts and many of the 10 big scenes. Her disks are a good introduction for her. Then there is comical Billy Higgins, as droll a colored chap as ever made an audience shriek with merriment. Billy has been given the bulk of the comedy but he is ominently capable of carrying the fun burden to a successful laugh climax in every instance The best colored straight man on the stage is Ernest R. Whitman and in "Lucky Sambo" is given ample opportunities to display his famous wardrobe of modish attire. Joe Byrd is another fine comedian and two other laugh providers will be seen when Arthur Porter and James Watts shuffle into the spotlight. Singing there will be a plenty with Three Dixie Songbirds a trio of Southern girls in specialties and vocal ensembles "Red" Cassidy and Cora Winters will be seen in displays of extraordinary Russian dancing.

Martin is in receipt of a communication signed by prominent citizens of Ocala, Winter Park, Orlandc, Tampa and Gainesville, requesting a thorough investigation of the lynching of Chandler Colding near Ocala on January 11th, "in order that the true facts may be given out and that any parties found guilty may be punished accordingly."

Okla., Where a Negro Can't Be Shuyler in the Pittsburg Courier or why a Negro cannot be lynched, been tried on two or three occasions have armed themselves and mills. At one time 300 Negroes ent Everybody was afraid to shoot, ebody or bodies would die. Mr. Geo. Schuyler in the Pittsburg Courier of last week says: "The reason why a Negro cannot be lynched in Muskogee is because it has been tried on two or three occasions. Each time the Negroes have armed themselves and mingled with the crowd of whites. At one time 300 Negroes entered a crowd of 5,000 whites. Everybody was afraid to shoot, because it was known that somebody or bodies would die. Disarm the Negroes? A suggestion was made to disarm the Negroes prior to the proposed lynching but it got no further than talk, because N. W. Twine, the virile militant Negro attorney, instructed the Negroes to 'lie with their guns in their hands.' The whites learned of 'The Black Tiger's order and they very shortly disbanded to allow the law to take its course. A suggestion was made to proposed lynching but it got no Twine, the virile militant Negro to lie with their guns in their Black Tiger's order and they vow law to take its course. on was made to disarm the Negro but it got no further than take the militant Negro attorney, instruc guns in their hands.' The white order and they very shortly disbar course. Contemplated White Lynching. On another occasion when a mob was talking of lynching a white man, the Negroes offered the sheriff their aid, and that was the end of the lynching talk. Hence it comes about that not only can you not lynch a Negro in Muskogee, but you can't lynch a white man either!!

After a business meeting of the Committee, at which encouraging reports of interracial co-operation were heard from various places in the state, the Council of Welfare Agencies held its own annual interracial session, presided over by Dr. Dunbar Hunt Ogden, of Montgomery, Chairman of the Interracial Committee. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Ogden, Dr. Robert R. Moton, President of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. W. W. Alexander, Director of the general Interracial Commission, all emphasizing the importance of seeing that colored people are given equal consideration in every state and community welfare program. The audience, which was composed of juvenile court judges, probation officers, representatives of health and educational agencies, heads of community chests and other welfare workers, was deeply impressed. Many came forward at the conclusion to express their hearty interest and to pledge their purpose to carry out as fully as possible the ideals expressed by the speakers. Since these people represent in large degree the leadership of the state in social welfare work, it is believed the effect of the meeting will be general and far-reaching, working out through many of the established agencies in the promotion of education, health, child welfare, justice in the courts, the care of dependents, etc. The prospects of a general and effective interracial program in Alabama are thought to be better than ever before in the history of the movement. Good work is now being done in a number of communities, Mobile and Selma heading the list. She Didn't Care We had been going together for about six months. One Sunday after noon in the fall we were out walking in a new addition of the city, where many young couples lived. As we passed one newly built house, I said "There is one house that young married people won't live in, because it has no heating plant." She immediately turned to me, and putting her hand on mine, said: "O that wouldn't make any difference to me; I could get along with a stove." We are now married, but do not live in the house that has caused all our happiness.—K. P., In Chicago Tribune. Announcing the E. & W. DR.

Herbert Clark and his half sister Kathryn, have been the victims of circumstances as strange as anything in fiction. They met by chance in New York and, not knowing they were related, fell violently in love. They were just about to be married when a telegram from their father apprised them of their relationship. Dogs Aid Scientists Almost all that we know about the cause and relief of diabetes has been learned from dogs, because they, being omnivorous, could be fed starchy food—meat, fat and any desired combination, says Dr. Walter B. Cannon in Hygeia Magazine. Diabetes appears if the pancreas is removed. An extract of the pancreas if injected into the body, can abolish the diabetes due to absence of pancreas. It has been estimated that in the United States alone there are now 1,000,000 people who already have diabetes or will develop it. Formerly it was a quickly fatal disease in young people. E. P. Joslin, the distinguished American authority, has suggested that every diabetic child should have a dog to care for in recognition of the dog's life-saving service. Cat Lives 25 Years John Willie, a cat, living at Wellow, died at the age of twenty-five years. He is believed to have been the oldest cat in Britain. Probably also John Willie had posed before the camera more often than any other cat, for he was constantly being photographed on account of his age. A veterinary surgeon states that the average age attained by cats is fourteen years. "You can never lay down any hard and fast rule, however," he adds. "Cats are like clothes or human beings. Some wear better than others, but twenty-five years is a remarkable age for any cat to reach." Bananas Everywhere A violent storm, the worst for many years, swept over the Canary islands, during the week end, causing much damage to property and some loss of life. Many banana plantations were swept away and the main streets of the town were flooded and strewn with bananas.

The Detroit convention of Garveyites decided against Sherrill-and elected officers unreservedly loyal to their chief. Despite Mr. Gravey's setbacks undaunted, he continues to hold and fire the imagination and compel the support of a larger part of the masses of Negroes outside of Africa than any other leader. He has inspired them to give of their means, and to enlist their talents freely to the idea that the Negro has a distinct, compelling and indispensable mission to perform and that if he neglects it, he must report to God the reason hy. This unanimity of purpose has during the short life of the movement borne much fruit. A conspicuous example of which is seen in our midst in the recent undertaking of the Sunflower Division in purchasing and operating a business, valued at $10,000. Mrs. Garvey's presence in our community at this time should give this little band inspiration for greater activity. She has thoroughly imbibed the spirit of her husband and possesses the rare ability of disseminating it. FURNISHED ROOMS FOR RENT Nicely furnished rooms for rent, either for ladies or gentlemen.
