WILL ELECT FOUR BISHOPS DOCTOR J. R. A. CROSSLAND ELECTED DELEGATE AT LARGE "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" AT AUDITORIUM THEATRE MAY 20TH AND 21ST Prominent Men Tour South CHAPTER III. It was with reluctance that we boarded our train at Birmingham Monday evening at 4:30 to start our journey to Montgomery, the historic capitol of Alabama. But, as usual accompanied by a large delegation of prominent citizens we did so and held an informal levee for half an hour prior to our departure where we exchanged final greetings and were compelled to promise them that if we made the trip next year Birmingham would be upon our itinerary. We are arrived in Montgomery at 8:45 P. M. and were met by a delegation of the leading business and professional men and were immediately escorted to the leading cafe of the city where an elaborate banquet was served, consuming two hours. It was one of the most toothsome and elaborate dinners that we received on our entire tour; after introductions and informal discussions, our party repaired to their Special to take a well earned rest arising bright and early the next morning for a trip to Mount Meigs where the famous Boys' Reformatory established by Miss Cornella Bowen upon land owned by her, assisted by Mrs. Booker Washington and the Federation of Negro Women's clubs of Alabama. Miss Bowen is at present principal of an Institute at Mt. Meigs and gave the 400 acres of land comprising DR. M. H. LAMBRIGHT. Among the men who always stand ready to push any laudable undertaking of the race is Dr. Lambright. Aside from his large practice which has grown wonderfully during the past year, the doctor in conjunction with Dr. McQueen Carrion owns and cultivates 10 acres of land they have near 35th and Hardesty and on which they are feeding more than 30 head of registered hogs. Men of this character are worth while in any community. the school holdings with the proviso that the State would pay her whenever the state felt able to take it over. (Would that we had such a woman in the State of Missouri.) The Montgomery Advertiser, the most prominent paper in the South had this to say of our visit: "A party of Negro business and professional men from Middle Western states, now engaged in making a tour of Southern cities, reached Montgomery yesterday in a special car from Birmingham. The party was met here by members of the Montgomery Negro Business League and tendered a supper and later a smoker. There are twenty-seven men in the party which was arranged by J. R. B. Lee, principal of the Lincoln High School of Kansas City, and formerly an instructor at Tuskegee Institute. They are making a study of the Negro's progress in the South with respect to education, hospitals, banking, and other energies. Victor H. Tulane, a trustee of Tuskegee; J. H. Phillips, President of the State Negro Business League, and James Alexander, Principal of the Colored schools of Montgomery, were in charge of the committee on arrangements for the visit of the party." "Enroute to Meigs, Meigs which is 12 miles from the City, we visited one or two of the famous Rosenwald Schools which are made possible through the splendid generosity of Mr." The Kansas City Sun Julius Rosenwald of Chicago who has done so much, yea more than any other man in America, for the moral, educational and economic advancement of the Colored people of this country. These schools are doing a wonderful work for the race in Alabama and are usually crowded before the crop season begins by the boys, girls, young men and young women of the race. We also passed many excellent farms and poultry ranches owned by the race and met one sturdy old fellow who was the owner of 800 acres of fine land near Mt. Meigs. At Mt. Meigs is located the reformatory of which we just spoke and its various buildings, inmates and equipment was studied with careful interest by the visitors both of our party and of Montgomery who accompanied us on the trip. There are six or eight buildings on the ground, the largest of which is the Chapel and Assembly room where the principal, Augustus Simms, a graduate of Tuskegee had us assemble after the inspection of the buildings and the grounds, to witness calisthenic exercises by the boys and to hear them singing. Both were entertaining. Brief addresses were made by one or two members of our party and one or two citizens of Montgomery. The one regrettable feature observed by us was the failure to care for the hair of the boys; a few of them gave evidences of having not combed their hair for a month or more and when at Tuskegee the matter was called to the attention of Mrs. Washington, she immediately dictated a letter to the Superintendent insisting that combs, brushes, and all other toilet accessories be secured to correct this very noticeable omission. There are more than 200 boys ranging from 6 to 15 years of age in this institution and about 100 yards east of the Boys' Reformatory, ground has been purchased and a building is being erected as a nucleus for a Reformatory for Negro Girls for whom no provision is made in the state of Alabama, although many think it unwise to locate the Girls' Reformatory to the other Institution. We had the pleasure of meeting the Rev. W. W. Matthews, pastor of Old Ship A. M. E. Zion church of that city who at one time was pastor of St. James A. M. E. Zion church, Kansas City; he is a very active candidate for Secretary of Missions and the wise ones say his Conference now in session in Knoxville. Tenn., will elect him for this position. We also visited the business places of Mr. Victor H. Tulane one of the South's most progressive business men and also the splendid Newstell Shoe Store, which really should be called a Department Store as they carry a complete line of men's women's and children's clothing, furnishings, notions and a tailoring establishment in connection. On our return to the City we were joined by Prof. E. J. Jones, son-in-law of Prof. J. R. E. Lee and Captain Stewart, vice commandant at Tuskegee, who had been sent on by Principal Moton to conduct our party to Tuskegee. We paid a hasty visit to the historic State Capitol where we viewed many interesting souvenirs and relics of the late Confederacy and viewed with interest the Gold Star embedded in the front portico of the Capitol marking the spot where Jefferson Davis stood to take the oath of office and deliver the inaugural address as President of the Southern Confederacy. Then we hurried to the Station where we boarded our special enroute for the main objective of our trip, historic Tuskegee Institute, the idol of that greatest of all Americans Booker T. Washington of which we shall speak in our next chapter.

CONFERENCE AT KNOXVILLE. 20,000 Brazilians Petition A. M. E Zion Conference For Negro Bishop Knoxville, Tenn. May 13.—Four hundred delegates from 42 Conferences in the United States, Africa and South America gathered here in the 28th Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Commission from Brazil. A commission from Brazil has come prepared to make a request for a colored Bishop. They represent 200,000 Brazilians who feel that they cannot gain anything from allegiance to the Catholic Church and are certain that because of the amalgamated race condition in Brazil, domination of Church affairs by the darker people will result in greater things. The commission represents all of the churches in the connection in Brazil, from the thatch jungle church to the palatial cathedral. Three Bishops to Be Elected. Owing to the death of Bishops J. W. Hood, C. R. Harris and Alexander Walters, three bishops will be elected. There are three candidates who have announced their candidacy, Rev J. W. Wood of Indianapolis, Rev P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, and Rev E. D. W. Jones, of Rochester. Topeka Jack Johnson, the veteran base ball player received an offer from Colonel Rube Foster to take the management of the Club at Winnipeg, Canada, but on account of the short season in that section, it is hardly probable that he will accept. Jack should be in the game somewehere States, where he is known from Coast to Coast. ST. JOSEPH, MO.

I feel that I owe to the public an explanation for attempting to organize the Liberian Investment Company. It is not a case of high finance, nor have I gone money wild and wish to fleece the people. Every article I wrote on Liberia drew me deeper into the subject. To quit would be showing the "white feather" on a very unpopular subject, unpopular. I think because of the lack of un-standing on the huge race problem. Why should an educated Black people know so little and showing no disposition to want to know anything about the black race from whence they came was a puzzle to me. One year has passed since I wrote the first article on Liberia which appeared in the Kansas City Sun. There has been quite an interest shown by the race on this subject from all parts of the country even Cuba and Mexico, have sent some replies on this venture. To stir up a subject so important, as I believe this to be and not see it through would be rank cowardice on my part. Do you think that I have acted wisely? While the elements of fraud may loom up big to some, assure you, that every precaution shall be guarded against it. To do something besides write was obviously necessary, so I chose the Stock Company; it offered the only solution—is there a better way? To resort to charity would be impossible, I shall leave it to the race, if you are ready for such a move you will support it, if not, you won't. Before passing your final judgment on this case, I invite you to read my next article, "The Big White Hand" which will appear in the Sun soon. Rucker Smith, 1403 Walnut street, Kansas City, Mo. ATTENTION! Wayne Minor Post No. 149 of former service men will sponsor the presentation of the thrilling drama "Dangerous Hours" to be shown at the Panama Theatre, 12th and Woodland Sunday and Monday May 16 and 17.

Crossland Elected Delegate-at-Large to Republican National Convention ALL THE LEADING NEGROES OF THE STATE WERE UNANIMOUS FOR HIS ELECTION. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley of St. Louis Elected Alternate In one of the most largely attended as well as enthusiastic Conventions ever held by the Republicans in grand old Missouri, Dr. John R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Missouri, Ex-Minister to Liberia, and one of the race's most distinguished citizens was elected unanimously as one of the delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention with Mrs. Victoria-Clay-Haley of St. Louis as his alternate. Dr. Crossland was nominated in a well chosen speech by Editor Nelson C. Crews, which was received with great applause and was seconded by one hundred voices from all sections of the State and upon motion Hon. Fred W. Dabney of Kansas City and seconded by Hon. Charles H. Calloway that the rules be suspended and Dr. Crossland be elected by unanimous vote, with a whoop that could be heard to Main street the motion prevailed. After wards to make sure that the election was regular the Chairman ordered the call of the Congressional District and Dr. Crossland received what no other man in the Convention was given, the vote of every delegate. The 26th Quadrennial Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church now in session in St. Louis, Mo., one of the greatest and most interesting ever held by this denomination. Over 600 of the most representative ministers and laymen of the Country are in attendance and matters of racial import are being discussed. The Quadrennial sermon by Bishop J. Albert Johnson was a masterpiece and elicited universal praise while the annual address read by Bishop Flipper covered every phase of the church activity. The Sessions are being held in the great Coliseum with a seating capacity of 10,000 and it is usually crowded at each session. Many splendid programs are being rendered rightly and all are declaring it the greatest conference in the history of the church. At its opening session the conference marched in a body, headed by the bishops according to their seniority from St. Paul Church to the Coliseum and it was a most imposing spectacle. Miss Georgia Harvey lately returned from Russia gave a recital the night of the 5th attended by 5,000 people; on Monday night the 10th, a musical contest was waged against the different schools of the connection On Tuesday night, May 11, the celebrator Dr. Leroy Bundy of East St Louis delivered a thrilling and pathetic lecture on "The Future of the American Negro. Reports of all General Officers were made in two days, which was a record for the General Conference. Reports were well received. Every General Officer reported progress, and from the spirit of the General Conference as their reports were listened to, they appeared to be acceptable to the rank and file of the General Conference. The following resolution was adopted: Believing as we do that Organic Union is practicable, desirable, and feasible we recommend: 1. That the African Methodist Episcopal Church; The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; and the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church united organically into one body, under the Denomination title of: "THE UNITED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH." RAISING OF SALARIES RECOMMENDEND The Financial Secretary, who is in a position to know the condition of the Church better than anyone else, has recommended a raise in the salaries of the Bishops, General Officers and College Presidents. He recommended for Bishops, $3,500; General Officers, $2,500 (the first raise the General Officers have had for more than twenty years), and College Presidents, $2,000. Owing to the very high cost of living, it is generally conceded that, in the main, the recommendations of Secretary Hawkins will be favorably acted upon. ELECT 4 BISHOPS. It is said the election of Bishops will not take place until Monday and that four will be elected. Advertise Your Business and Get Results. OPS T LARGE AND 21ST Elected Delegate-at-Large National Convention THE STATE WERE UNANIMOUS ELECTION. L. Louis Elected Alternate. Mrs. Haley was ably nominated by Hon. I. H. Bradbury of St. Louis and seconded by Congressman L. C. Dyer and was also given a unanimous vote. One of the features of the Convention was the key-note address by the Hon. Roscoe C. Patterson of Springfield, Mo., permanent Chairman of the Convention, which was undoubtedly one of the ablest addresses ever heard in the Republican Convention. After which the Convention was permitted to hear brief addresses from Senator Seldon P. Spencer, Colonel Davis and J. L. Minnis candidates for United States Senator also E. E. E. McJimsey and L. E. Hye candidates for Governor; and upon the insistent demand of the delegates of the Convention a ten-minute address that aroused his hearers to the high pitch of enthusiasm was delivered by Nelson Crews on behalf of the Negro delegates to the Convention. This is the first time in thirty years that a Negro delegate at large has been elected in Missouri and it is needless to say that the Negroes of the State are united to a man for the success of the Republican party in the coming campaign. DR. BUNDY COMING. Arrangements are being perfected by the Bundy Defense Committee to have Dr. Bundy deliver an address in this City Sunday, May 23rd. If arrangements are completed, full particulars will be given in our next issue. Dr. Martin G.

Sothern, the great dramatist, who with his wife, Julia Marlowe, has been playing to capacity audiences in Washington for two weeks, paid an unusual compliment to the officers, teachers, and students of Howard University by reading to them from Shakespearean dramas and from other selections on Friday, April 9th, in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Because of conditions in Washington, the Colored people have not been permitted to see or hear Sothern and Marlowe at the local theatres, and Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe paid the Colored people the compliment of reading to them at Howard University and at the Dunbar High School during their visit to Washington. Miss Marlowe read the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at the Dunbar High School, but was prevented by the many demands upon her from appearing at Howard University. Mr. Sothern was most generous in his rendition of selections. For more than an hour he read one selection after another, giving the students and teachers of the University full opportunity to appreciate his finished art. His introductory addresses at both places on the valor of the colored troops he met in France, and on the pleasure and satisfaction it gave him to meet the colored people of Washington during his stay here, were warmly applauded. Seldom has he received so generous a welcome anywhere as given him by the representative Colored people of Washington who gathered at both Howard University and the Dunbar High School with officers, teachers, and students of those institutions to greet him and his distinguished wife.

Dr. Butler spoke with very great clearness and definiteness of the responsibility resting upon students privileged to attend an institution such as Howard University. He traced in chaste language the steps one must take to reach the station of "educated men and women," and then devoted himself to a discussion of the value and importance of the judgments which such men and women must make in their contact with the problems of life. Dr. Butler was warmly received by the whole student body when he arose to speak and was tremendously applauded at the conclusion of his eloquent remarks. Louisville, Ky.-M. Huggins, white attorney, objected to the presence of about three hundred Colored men and women being in court where a white client was on trial for murdering of a sixteen-year-old Colored boy. He asked the judge what all of those Niggers were doing here, and the judge fined him three dollars for contempt of court. Huggins' clien was held for murder.

It is simply this: I bought 100 suits from a bankrupt tailoring house. The actual value of these suits are worth $65.00, and up. Who can buy a 14-oz. Blue Serge or a fancy Brown or Gray worsted hand-tailored for $40.00. I CAN, because I bought these suits at a price I can afford to sell them. These Suits were hand-tailored for some particular individuals who paid $20.00 or more on their suits. Possibly the lack of finances forced the tailor to close his doors.

Are we going to have strangers come within our gates and have them say that we didn't feed them. You and I have both said that a town was no good that didn't serve us good food. Make up, Mr. and Mrs. Kansas City, you will have to wor kwith the Eat Shops to hold up your home town. You have as good Eat Shops as there are in this country, but if you and others will not work for a Colored man, don't knock. They mean well; everything you hear about a Colored Mans place is not true; they are lots better morally than white's. Tell your daughter, son or friend that if you won't work, don't say anything; they are trying to do good. We admit that the old Negro has failed as an employer; the younger ones are putting it over in this modern way. We are on trial and you are the jury. Give us justice. The Colored Eat Shops must help feed the people who are coming to Kansas City. From now on, everyone that stops here will make it much better for you. Tell the boy and girl before they take that job in a white place to try some Colored place. There is no work that is disgraceful. Let them start in a Negro business and go to the top. The white man will not let you go over the top. All together for the future of the Negro business, Mr. boy and girl, come to us and be saved and help save the Negro business from stagnation.

Now playing at the Lincoln every Thursday. Episode One—"Below the Dead Line," with Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world. The great financial interests of Wall Street, alarmed at the frequent robberies of their messengers, in which millions in Liberty Bonds and other negotiable securities are stolen in the street to the extent of millions, find upon inquiry that a vast system of organized plunder exists dominated by a mysterious and sinister recluse known in the underworld at "The Evil Eye." David Druce, head of the banking house of Druce & Co., finds it necessary to send a million dollars in Liberty bonds, which he intends to present to his only daughter, Dora. The trustiest and bravest messenger employed by the Druce bank is Frank Armstrong (Benny Leonard), who is entrusted to carry the bonds, guarded by a force of strong arm men. Denton Drake, a cousin of David Druce and a junior partner in the bank is secretly high in the councils of "The Evil Eye." Aided by his fiancee, a society adventurer who has gained the confidence of the Druces and is a visitor at their home, Denton gets word to the "Evil Eye." at to the time the million in unregistered and therefore negotiable Liberty bonds are to be carried through Wall Street and lower Broadway by Armstrong. The word goes out in the underworld, and that day a host of real and bogus blind men invades the financial district. Several of them collide with Armstrong and the guards with the bonds. An indignant pedestrian, garbed in clerical attire, brings about a street riot, claiming the poor sightless men have been brutally attacked. The sympathy of the crowd that quickly gathers are with the blind men, who fight viciously. The bogus clergyman, who is none other than "Holy Joe," a slick crook high in the councils of the "Evil Eye." Meanwhile, to draw the police away from the streets, "The Evil Eye" stages a bogus hold-up and robbery by a half-witted Bolshevist in the Druce Bank. At the alarm all the police and detectives below the "Dead Line" rush to the Druce bank, leaving the streets unguarded when Armstrong and the other guards are attacked, that "The Evil Eye" may secure the million in bonds. FRANKLIN ICE CREAM 50 Cents Quart JEFF'S LUNCH, 1900 Vine Street. PANAMA THEATRE 12th and Woodland 2 Days Only Sun. & Mon. May 16-17 THOMAS H. INCE Presents HIS SPECIALLY SUPERVISED PRODUCTION Dangerous Hours BY C. GARDNER SULLIVAN His back was against the wall. In his honest zeal for mankind, he had aided red-handed fanatics to trample on all he once held dear. Standing against the crimson tide that rolls upon us the scum and flotsam of earth—also stands our America. What shall we do? This picture tells—sweeps you on with its action—stirs your heart with its power. Vivid—vital—spectacular—vastly entertaining. This same wonderful super-photoplay was shown at the Shubert Theatre a few weeks ago at $1.00 top admission prices. Panama prices for this picture only: Meanwhile, Dora Druce, who has been to the bank to see her father, passes in her car, and notes the riot on lower Broadway. Seeing he will be overpowered, Dora impulsively has her automobile stopped and endeavors to assist Armstrong, whom she met. She aids Armstrong as best she can, and when Armstrong leaps out of the mulee still holding to the satchel of bonds, into a racing car from which two crooks participating in the hold-up have jumped,she gets into the racing car with him, and they speed away. Meanwhile at the Druce bank, the lone hold-up man is overpowered and is found to be a harmless crank armed only with a toy pistol. He is taken to the police station, just as word comes telephoned in to the bank by one of the guards that Armstrong and the other guards were attacked in the street by a gang of crooks following a sidewalk collision with two blindmen. The guard also reports over the telephone that at the height of the encounter and struggle Armstrong has disappeared with the million in bonds. The police are sent to the scene, but when they arrive most of those who participated in the attack on the messengers and guards with the bonds have disappeared, and the police have no prisoners to take except the two or three blind men and the protesting man in clerical attire. At the police station, Denton Druce refused to prosecute the silly crank who held up the bank with a glass candy pistol, especially when the bogus clergyman states he will see the poor half-witted fellow placed under proper restraint. The bogus clergyman also testifies and proves the innocence of himself and the poor blind men. As it is evident the real crooks and robbers have escaped, and as word has ben received at the bank that Dora and Armstrong are safe at the Druce mansion with the bonds, and as nothing has been stolen either at the bank or in the street, the blind men as well as the hilt-witted Bolshevist bank-robber are dismissed, and the oily "Holy Joe," the bogus clergyman receives the thanks of Denton. Outside the court it is apparent that the bogus clergyman and the supposed half-witted Bolshevist who has held up the bank with a glass pistol are crooks who are the secret accomplices of Denton and cohorts of "The Evil Eye." Deeming the million in bonds safe for the present in the great safe in his library at home, under guard, David Drue having to go to Chicago on business and his daughter Dora having to return to college after the holidays, a family travelling party in David Drue's private car is made of the trip. All this falls into the plans of Denton Drue and Marcia Lamar still plotting to secure the million in bonds for themselves and "the Evil Eye". Denton arranges with the cohorts of "The Evil Eye" that Dora shall be mysteriously kidnapped from the observation platform of her father's private car on the rear of the Chicago Express. Marcia Lamor has accompanied the Druces, as a close friend of Mrs. Drue, and David Drue has brought Frank Armstrong along as a guard of valuable papers he is taking to Chicago. It is Denton Drake's plan that Dora shall be kidnapped and held in a secret den of "The Evil Eye" until her father will pay the million in ransom of his daughter. While the attention of the Drue travelling party is diverted by a clever ruse, Dora is dragged from the observation platform, as the train halts and is carried off by masked men in the power of "The Evil Eye." BOLSHEVIK "VAMPS." Several Seen in New Ince Film "Dangerous Hours." A new type of screen "vampire" is introduced in the new Thomas H. Ince production, "Dangerous Hours," which is coming to the Panama Theatre for two days, Sunday and Monday, May 16-17. The movie public is used to the "tiger lady" who hures men in an atmosphere of soft draperies, leopard skin rugs, and perfumed cigarettes. But the latest Ice "vamp" works amid the most sordid atmosphere—cheap boarding houses and underground dens. Moreover, she is heart and soul for the Bolshevik cause and people who imagine that all Reds are long-bearded, hawkened villians like Trotsky and Lenine will have a pleasant awakening when they see this radiant creature. Seriously, "Dangerous Hours" is declared to be a thrilling love story, filled with spectacular scenes and with the underlying theme of the cur rent Radical unrest. It is a Paramount Artcraft picture directed by Fred Niblo. TRAILED BY THREE. Second Episode, continued from the "Sun", May 8th. "TRAPPED IN CHINATOWN." As Tom Carewe stands in the darkened parlor of his home trying to wrest the pearls from Trent, Michael Casserly, from behind the curtain, presses a revolver to his head. Before Casserly can fire Jane turns out the light and the bullet goes wild, but Trent has made his getaway with the pearls. When the lights are turned up Casserly, in a dressing gown, enters the room with the older Carewe and the butter and hears from Tom and Jane what has happened. He pledges himself to assist Tom in recovering the pearls. t In their pursuit of Trent and the pearls, Casserly, Tom Carewe, Jane and Anoto go to Arizona where, unknown to them, Trent is to meet Casserly who is posing as their confederate. The stage coach in which they are riding is held up by Trent and his gang and Tom Jane are take en prisoners to a barn, Anoto having escaped. Trent and his men tie Tom to the wall and Jane sees a scorpion crawling across the floor. Her scream attracts Trent who, making a noose with a piece of string, lassos the creature. Then he suspends it over Tom's head with a knife and tells him that if he will return to New York, leaving the girl and the pearls there, he will be free; other wise the scorpion will be lowered until it stings his face, which will result in his death. Tom refuses and the scorpion begins to descend. At that moment, Anoto who has followed, crawls through the window and releases Jane. With Anoto's gun, Jane shoots the scorpion from above Tom's head and holds up Trent who is made a prisoner by Tom and Anoto. Two of T rent's men enter but are knocked out and Jane, Tom and Anoto escape. Trent, still in possession of the pearls, leads the chase to San Francisco, where Casserly, Tom, Jane and Anoto follow. Near the piers they see a Chinese girl, the daughter of a notorious Tong leader, who is wearing a necklace which Jane recognizes as one stolen from a woman when the stage coach was held up by Trent. Tom and Anoto follow the girl while Casserly and Jane start back to their hotel. The girl enters a restaurant in a Chinese quarter and Tom follows, but the Tong leader has had word of the coming and is ready for him. Posing as an opium smoker, Tom lies down in a bunk, the bottom of which suddenly opens and drops him into a deep pit. In the next room the Tong chief and T rent turn on a water main which begins to flood the pit. Anoto then enters the resort and by accident discovers Tom's plight. He rescues Tom by lowering some bed clothes and pulling him out. In the meantime Casserly has induced Jane to go to dinner with him at the same Chinese restaurant. The door is locked and Casserly attacks her. During the struggle Jane throws a bowl of gold fish at her assailant. It crashes through a window and into the street, where it is seen by Tom and Anoto who were passing. They climb a drain pipe and enter the room where for the first time Tom realizes that Casserly is a crook. He attacks Casserly and gives him a terrific beating. Immediately a number of Trent's Chinese gangsters break down the door and overpower Tom, Anoto and Jane, and are about to kill Tom as the episode ends. "Trailed by Three" will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre on Friday of each week. CARD OF THANKS.

Great Photo-Play Production to be Shown at Lincoln Theater, Thur- "The Birth of a Race," which played to packed houses for four weeks at the Doric Theater was seen by a number of the leading ministers and prominent citizens all of whom are very enthusiastic in their praise of this wonderful film. Aside from being a very fascinating story it is a stupendous educational film. The "Birth of a Race," deals with the freedom and better understanding between races and nationalities. It carries us back to the very inception of the world and advances through the ages to our present hour. Each momentous chapter of the Bible and of history is portrayed in all of its realism. From Eden you are carried to Noah and through the great filid, to Moses and the Exodus, to the birth and crucifixion of Christ and on through the struggle of humanity as century passes into century. Those who have seen the picture say that they feel as if they have lived through the very times and events. No lectures, nor books can so vividly impress upon the mind and memory the great narrative of mankind. There are more than 10,000 people in this play and it took two years to construct it with a cost of $1,000,000. This picture attracts both races. Mr. Goldman of the Lincoln Theater was indeed fortunate in making such arrangements for the exhibition of this picture that it can be shown at a popular admission price. Adults will be admitted for twenty-five cents which is far less than the play has ever required. In order that all school children may have the opportunity of seeing this picture, Mr. Goldman has arranged the admission at ten cents for them. The box office sale on tickets will start Monday, May 17th. The Lincoln Symphony Orchestra has been diligently preparing for this picture with an elaborate and special program especially adapted to the BIRTH OF A RACE. Those who have heard the orchestra know that they THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 15. 1920. will be able to "put over" their part with all the beauty and impressiveness that such a production merits.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE EDITORIALS. Few people outside of our group can possibly realize the sting, the humiliation, the hardships the black men and women are forced to endure under the provisions and interpretation of so-called "Jim Crow" law. A careful study on the part of any social student will convince that it is contrary to a Christian sense of fairness, utterly incompatible and conducive to more friction between the races than any other policy of public probity known in our government.—The Tulsa (Ok.) Star. The Kansas City Tour The entire country has been discussing with much interest the recent tour of the group of business and professional men from Kansas City to the following points in the South: Memphis, Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuskegee Institute, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville and St. Louis. It is the first time in the history of the race that such a large group of busy men, on their own initiative, for the purpose of studying conditions and acquainting themselves with economic facts, and paying their own expenses, have made such a tour. The communities visited were fully alive to the importance and possibilities of the visit, and everywhere the occasion was made a holiday, and the fullest opportunity to gather information and incidentally to enjoy the blessings of the famous Southern hospitality was afforded. The Associated Negro Press is carrying a series of articles giving a complete description of the events of the tour. These articles are creating widespread interest. They should, for they make a new departure in business vision and economic progress. The business and professional group among us in Kansas City, as a result of the tour, will soon establish a bank and a chain of co-operative stores; they will form commissions of both races today with the various phases of economic and social progress, and they, as never before, will have higher respect for the South, a more cordial interest in its development, and a friendlier feeling of brotherhood. Then, there will follow in other communities, "Inspection and Inspirational Tours" that will lead from the North, South, East and West. They will vitalize the co-operative spirit that now prevails everywhere, and lift the entire group to a plane of activity and efficiency unlike anything ever before known. THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS ANNUAL. The world is getting a new vision of achievements. The most remarkable booklet ever prepared in behalf of co-operation and better understanding between groups, and the various peoples of those groups, is the Annual of the Associated Negro Press, which has just been issued from Executive Offices. The edition, aside from its typographical excellence, is a distinct surprise to every reader because it illustrates as nothing else has ever done, the growth of journalism and newspapers among our people, and the widespread interest the white people of the nation are taking in our publications. The edition opens with a Foreword, giving two practical reasons for issuing the Annual; follows a brief history of newspapers among us. Then begin a series of brief articles from some of the most eminent sources in the country, telling of the advantage of a united news service, and the magnificent possibilities of the future. The booklet is profusely illustrated, and carries as one of the features a special double page illustration by the famous artist, W. E. Scott, entitled, "The Negro Press." This, alone, is a lasting inspiration. The opinion of public men of both races, from great daily newspapers, North and South, from our own editors and many others concerning the value and necessity of the Associated Negro Press, make reading that makes history. The edition is being distributed free of charge. Mary Elegant $40.00 Misfit Suits at Golden 1611, 18 E. 18th. Worth $60.00.

KANSAS CITY, MO. Well No. 4 was brought in Saturday, April 17, 1920, with a good production of oil. We are drilling WELLS No. 5 and 6. As soon as these wells are brought in, Square Deal stock will greatly advance in price. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY SQUARE DEAL STOCK IN A SUBSTANTIAL WAY. One investing his money in Square Deal stock now is simply placing it where he will receive great returns for his money. You read about people making hundreds and thousands of dollars in the oil game. It is in just such companies as the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company that fortunes are made, and it is the stockholders who buy in these companies when they are in the same stage of development as the Square Deal is now, who will profit by their investment. The bringing in of our present wells proves our Allen County, Kansas, leases. There is oil there, and the more wells we drill, the greater our production, and the larger our DIVIDENDS. One hundred, or more, wells can be drilled on this lease. Think what this will mean to the stockholders of the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company with oil selling at Three Dollars and Seventy-five cents per barrel direct from the wells, and prices going up. You can get in on this if you hurry. Every dollar received from the sale of our oil is to go into the "DIVIDEND FUND." Every dollar received from the sale of our stock is to be used for developing our leases. The Square Deal Oil and Gas Company is controlled and managed exclusively by competent and successful Negro business men—men who have studied and know the oil business—men who act rather than talk—men who know no such word as fail. It has been unjustly said that the Negro could not successfully operate an oil company; up to date, the Square Deal Oil and Gas Company has disproven this unfounded and injurious statement. THE NEGRO INVESTOR. If you have any money to invest—much or little—and desire to invest it in a safe and sound investment, an oil company with real producing oil wells, and one that is now paying a very large dividend—buy Square Deal stock. Remember—the more shares you own, the larger your DIVIDENDS will be. You can get in on this, if you hurry.

The Indianapolis fans were hungry for baseball; hungry for the kind and class of ball, characteristic of the well known efforts of their wizard manager. And the manager of the rousing reception tendered the re-entry of Taylor and his stalwarts spoke volumes for the success of colored baseball.

Moore, for many years was located at 1820 East Eighteenth St., is really the first man of his race to own a business building on Eighteenth Street, who during the war was compelled to suspend for lack of proper assistance, has again resumed business at the Southeast corner of 17th and Holmes streets, owing to the fact that his own building was rented for other purposes. Mr. Moore's friends are glad to know of his re-opening and knowing full well his superior ability as an embalmer and director they again turn to their first loved in that line of work as he is second to none; for those who know him know he has brought the profession up to its present standing and is now doing good business at reasonable rates; his past experience has made him more proficient as well as prudent. He does no personal soliciting with fruits, flowers and so on with the expectation of getting the remains, but with professional ethics deals fairly and squately with everyone and with an ever charitable heart to those who might come to him for help, confidential advice or economical counsel and he is no farther from you than your nearest Bell Telephone. His number is Grand 118 day or night; absolute privacy and seclusion from curious persons guaranteed. He is glad to see and meet you while you are living and though your enemies may be glad to hear of your death, your loved ones will be pleased to view your peaceful countenance in case of death if the body is prepared for burial by A.
