G. McCampell, Chairman, and Mrs. J. E. Dibble, secretary; Dr. T. C. Unthank chm. of the executive committee and Mr. O. J. Hill, a splendid and philanthropic white man who acted in the capacity of advisor to the general committee. While some of the ladies of the race were timid and somewhat doubtful as to the outcome, yet they went ahead with all their energy determined to make it a success regardless of the sneers, jeers or unkind words of those who were not in sympathy with the movement and who were unwilling to assist. How well they succeeded and how brilliantly rewarded they were for their sacrifice and labor was evidenced in the great pile of coins that were poured upon the tables in the director's room of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. at 7:30 last Saturday night. After all the matrons reported present a committee composed of Dr. William H. Thomas, Dr. J. E. Dibble, Editor Nelson C. Crews and Prof. Ellison, assisted by Secretary R. B. DeFrantz and Dr. T. C. Unthank, proceeded to count the money which at its completion totaled $864.55 which Mr. T. G. McCampbell agreed to make $900.00 through the Masonic organization of the city, the first five of which was paid in by Rone lodge la'6 Monday night. That the Colored people were deeply interested and unhesitatingly contributed of their mites to make it a success was demonstrated in the fact that in the pile of coin there were H. B. TALBERT, President.

Their workers were stationed at the Union Depot and on Independence avenue, and they raised a total of $158.11. The second highest team was that of Mrs. R. P. Jackson; she only had seven workers all of whom were members of the Second Christian Church, save one; they raised a total of $105.06. The highest individual collection was by Mrs. J. H.

Mrs. Lulu Patton Underwood, wife of William A. Underwood, of 636 New Jersey avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, in a moment of temporarily mental abberoration wandered away from home last Tuesday night and was found Thursday in one of the vacant store rooms on Union Avenue, opposite where the old Union Station stood, frozen to death. Mrs. Underwood was one of the most beautiful girls in Missouri when she was married to Isom Patton 30 years ago, and to this union one son, Floyd Patton, was born, who is a railroad porter now twenty-eight years of age and who led the search to find his mother's body. She was married to Mr. Underwood of Richmond, Mo., several years ago and they moved to Kansas City, Kansas, where they bought a beautiful home. She was a devoted member of Allen Chapel in this city, a member of Ruth Court of Calanthe, a loving mother, a devoted wife and a friend to all who knew her.

The checker match between Mr. E. Jackson and Mr. E. Headley is now a certainty. The match will begin about Jan. 1. It will probably be a two move restriction match, and if so, will be the first restricted match ever conducted by Negro players in Kansas City. Checker fans are looking forward to this match with great interest. Newell W. Banks, champion checker player of the United States, was in Kansas City Dec. 15-16. Mr. Banks was on his way to Los Angeles, where he will play Alfred Jordan for the CAPT. A. YOUNG. championship of the world. He will be in Kansas City again in March, and at that time we shall try to secure him for a blindfold exhibition at the Y. M. C. A. All the workers and new members are expected to be present on Sunday afternoon at the Men's meeting, when they will be given further information relative to the jollification of next Wednesday. Dr. D. A. Holmes, of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, will address the meeting on "Spiritual Blunders." The men are expecting one of the most forceful and eloquent talks of the year. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 23. 1916 HON. J. E. BUSH DEAD. Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 15—Hon. J. E. Bush, Republican leader, philanthropist, orator and organizer, died at his home this week and was buried Thursday. He had been ill for some time and his death was expected. Mr. Bush was founder of the National Order of Mosaics and was secretary from the time of its organization until his death. Through him the order spread into every state in the south. As an organizer, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington said he was in a class alone. At all the meetings of the National Business Men's League, Dr. Washington reserved Mr. Bush to go after members for life membership, which costs $25. He was a stalwart Republican, having been United States land receiver for 12 years, succeeding the late Judge Muffin Gibbs. Mr. Bush was a "Baptist and Republican," as he often said in many of his speeches. The Arkansas Baptist College, of which he was a liberal patron, and the First Baptist church, of which he was a member, have been greatly benefited by his life. J. E. Bush was easily the largest figure in this state since the death of Judge Gibbs. He was the cause of the monster Mosaic building being erected at Ninth and Broadway. He was a delegate to every Republican state convention to past forty years and was elected delegate-at-large to the convention that nominated William McKinley for president. He leaves a wife, one daughter and two sons. He is estimated to be worth $250,000. LINCOLN, NEBR. (By W. W. Moseley.) Mesdames Maude Gates and L.

A. A. C. P., which has made a concerted campaign against the pas: sage for several months, At the Com: missioner’s meeting, Prof. A. J. Neely, supervisor of schools, made a splendid address regarding the Negro’s attitude toward the ordinance. He represented the local branch. A large number of white prominent citizens have pledged their support in fighting the ordinance. ‘The Supreme Court will render a deci- sion in these cases sometime in Jan- uary. CITY FOR CHRIST.

He has completed a four years’ course and has been graduated with the highest honors ever attained by any violin stu- dent in that institution. ‘The Commercial club and choirs of practically all of Richmond's churches have charge of the testimonial con- dition to young Howard's violin num- bers there will be a chorus of school children and special numbers by the high school orchestra, It will be Howard's first home coming and the event is to be made one of special in- ‘tercat: lo Yooel inunteal Wroclew, Hes ange E 8 ON ir « a . oo t we. i Vf aoe é oe $35.00 per month as a minimum, and $40.00, $50.00 and $60.00 as a maximum to $12.00, $15.00, and sometimes $20.00 eastern and southern wages for domestics, you’ can readily see the vast difference.

The young boys enjoyed their selves skating...Prof. Moten and the pupils of Humbolt school made a very successful effort at raising funds for purchasing books for the school library....
