CHAPTER IV.
It was with bated breath and undisguised expectation that we started on the next act of our memorable tour with the world famous Tuskegee Institution as our objective. As stated in our last article Prof. E. J. Jones, son-in-law of Prof. Lee and Captain Steward both of the Executive Department came on to Montgomery to meet us and escorted us to this wonderful Institution. They placed in the hands of each member of our party the following neatly printed program outlining the plans for our entertainment during our stay.

And what a welcome! Many of the Faculty were at the station when our train pulled in. Principal Moton was there, the veteran Treasurer, Warren Logan was there. The famous Tuskegee Band of fifty pieces made our hearts beat faster by their splendid music as we alighted; and our reception was the warmest and most cordial we had yet received; in keeping with the splendid system prevalent at Tuskegee, our baggage hal all been placarded with

DR. LAMBRIGHT PRAISED.
Dr. M. H. Lambright, E. 18th Street, has been medical examiner for the Standard Life Insurance Company for the past five years. Mr. T. A. Dickson Supervising Agent for the State of Missouri says the Standard Life Insurance Co., made a wise selection when it chose Dr. Lambright as its examiner. The company has not had a single claim to pay since Dr. Lambright has been the examiner. His diagnosis has been correct on every one of the large number that he has examined for the company. His examinations have been so perfect that now when the Doctor examines an applicant and recommends favorably, it simply means a policy for the applicant. Mr. Dickson is here with two of his ablest men, Mr. J. W. Spann and Mr. W. O. McMahon to aid Messrs Stewart and Smith, the local agents in properly putting the Standard Life be before the people of Kansas City. The Standard Life Insurance Company is the largest Corporation owned and operated by Colored people in the United States. Every able-bodied man, woman and child that believes in racial uplift and self-protection should have a policy with the Standard.
THEDA BARA IN BIG NEW VAM
PIRE ROLE.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
This old adage never was better exemplified than in "Lure of Ambition," the Theda Bara super-production which William Fox will present on Sunday and Monday at Love's Theatre.
Olga Dolan, who is impersonated on the screen by Miss Bara, finds that the man to whom she has given her love was only trifling with her affections. in her nery she determines to avenge the insult upon the entire breed of man. She is transformed from a trusting girl into an ambitious woman, thirsting for worldly success. She achieves success far beyond her first ambitious dreams.
Theda Bara is seen in the principal role of this unusual and gripping production. Several local screen favorites are in the strong supporting cast.
Prof. Roscoe White will attend a dance at Leavenworth, Kas., Monday May 23rd.

name and room numbers in the dormitory where we were to be domiciled and when we had alighted from the train, a number of the sprightly—courteous students removed our baggage, loaded it upon trucks and carted it to our dormitory where we found it all neatly arranged in our various rooms. The same thing prevailed upon our leaving. After removing the stains of travel and a few moments rest, under the direction of Commandant Wolcott, we started upon our scheduled sight-seeing, and 'tis needless to state that we were continually gasping in astonishment and wonder at the many wonderful things we beheld. Our first trip was to the Massive and commandingly located administration building where we had the pleasure of meeting the Executive force of the Institution registering and also receiving from the Institute Post Office large quantities of mail that had accumulated for our party. No institution in the country is run with more system and precision than Tuskegee Institute and the men and women connected with the Executive department are proficient in their duties to the highest degree. From the Administration building we went to the Carnegie Library which for size and beauty is in keeping with the other buildings on the grounds. Here we spent a few moments sightseeing after which we were conducted to the Photographic Division, which is one of the most interesting and costly equipped in the Southland. Mr. E. M. Battey in charge of this division is a past master in Science and Photography and one of his most beautiful and recent creations was used upon the page cover of the April Crisis.
At 7:30 we had the pleasure of attending a specially arranged meeting of the Faculty, student body and many visitors in the Chapel and it was one of the most inspiring and

memorable occasions we have ever witnessed. Nearly 4,000 persons were in the vast auditorium and the singing by the choir and student body was simply wonderful. Addresses were delivered by several members of our party all of which were fittingly responded to by the splendid principal, Dr. Moton. After the Chapel exercises we were conducted to the Adelphi Club, an organization of teachers and citizens where we were tendered a delightful smoker which many of our party enjoyed until a late hour after which we retired, tired but happily satisfied that we were in the presence of the greatest Institution, and the most inspiring object lesson the race has yet developed.

EMOTIONAL WORK OF BLANCHE SWEET GREAT.
Harry Garson, best known in America as producer of Clara Kimball Young and Blanche Sweet masterpieces, will once more court the approval of local theatr-goers as a producer of photoplays when he presents Blanche Sweet in "The Hushed Hour" as the attraction at Panama Sunday and Monday.
Mr. Garson's standing as a producer was firmly established not long ago when he favored this city with the premiere of "The Unpardonable Sin," starring Miss Sweet. That big picture which has since swept the country like wildfire, proved conclusively that Mr. Garson was in remarkably close touch with the public's screen tastes. It would seem, therefore, that the success of "The Unpardonable Sin" has already assured "The Hushed Hour" of at least a comparative measure of success.
"The Hushed Hour" is from a short story by Gertrude Brooke Hamilton, recently printed in one of the big national magazines. The screen adaptation is by Charles Maigne, who has done splendid work for Elsie Ferguson, and recently turned out the photoplay version of Maeterlink's "The Bluebird." Edmund Mortimer directed the picture.
When "The Unpardonable Sin" was shown not long ago much interest attached to the work of Blanche Sweet who made in it her re-debut to the screen after an absence of approximately two years. Reviews and criticisms of the big Rupert Hughes story production were unanimous in the expression that Miss Sweet showed remarkable power as an emotional actress. Those who have seen both "The Unpardonable Sin" and "The Hushed Hour" point out that if Miss Sweet's individual work in "The Unpardonable Sin" was worthy of such high praise than the plaudits which will be hers after "The Hushed Hour" has been introduced will unquestionably give her rank with the foremost screen actresses of the day, for her opportunities in the emotional line in "The Hushed Hour" are greater by far than they were in "The Unpardonable Sin." There is a most unusual cast, including Blanche Sweet, Wilfred Lucas, Milton Sills, Mary
Anderson, Rosemary Themy, Harry Northrup, Edward M. Klimball, Lydia Knott, Gloria Hope, Wyndham Standing, L. T. Steers and Master Bennie Carpenter.
DR. JONES ELECTED BISHOP.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 20.—Dr Robert E.

They will have charge of all the Colored conferences in America.

CONVICT NEGRO WHO KILLED WIFE.
Arthur McGee, who killed his wife, Mrs. Beatrice McGee, was convicted of third degree manslaughter Wednesday by a jury in Judge W. H. McCremish's division of the Wyandotte County District Court. McGee shot and killed his wife following a quarrel at the home of her sister, 535 Nebraska avenue, Kansas Side, on December 4, 1919. His defense was that his wife threatened to shoot him with a revolver and that he scuffled with her and gained possession of the weapon. With the weapon he shot her to protect his own life, he testified.

KLLED A NEGRO MOMAN
Chauffeur Told Police She Had Been Following Him.
Mary Harvey, a negro woman living at 2407 East Seventeenth street, was shot and killed Tuesday night near Fifteenth street and Troost avenue by Robert Ching, 27 years old, a negro chauffeur and houseman at the home of Abraham Dancerig, 101 Gartfield avenue. Ching-told the police the woman had been following him, and that she fired at him before he began shooting. Ching is being held by the police for investigation.
PIANO WANTED.
There is urgent need for a piano at the home for aged and infirm Negroes out at Little Blue. And if some of our Clubs and philanthropic organizations would take hold of this proposition, a prominent white citizen who is thoroughly familiar with the needs of the Institution and who was instrumental in securing several pianos for the white home authorizes the Sun to subscribe $10.00 toward its purchase to whichever organization takes hold of the proposition to secure this much needed necessity. One of our splendid women's organization recently gave this home a beautiful Graphanola but that will not meet the needs for an instrument for concerts, religious gatherings and musicals, with which it is proposed from time to time to entertain the old people. What do you say ladies of the various clubs? Who will start this project. Call the Sun for particulars.
Mrs. Dora Dorgans and Nathaniel White will spend the summer months in Arkansas.

GREAT COLORED AUTHOR FEA-
TURED.
Loyal Hearts, Super-Special Drama
Scores Tremendous Eastern
Quecess,
Sidney P. Dones, author of several:
novels of racial interest, 1s ftatured
in the leading part of his own play,
“Loyal Hearts,” which has taken the
‘Bastern cities by storm. It has been
pronounced to be one of the finest
and biggest colored photo-dramas
ever screened by an all-star Colored
company. In Chicago and New York,
thousands of patrons were turned
away daily from the doors of the
great theatres which played “Loyal
Hearts.”
Mr. Dones qualified himself for the
part he is taking by several years of
study under Captain Leslie T, Pea-
cocke, author of the —super-produc-
tions “Neptunes Daughter,” which
starred Annette Kellerman, “The Pas-
sion Flower,” “Hearts in Exile,” “The
Woman Who Dared,” “As Ye Sow,”
‘and many other famous Universal
Successes.
Captain Peacocke's interest in the
future of Colored photo-drama means
‘a decided advance in the standard of
such productions. The producers of
pictures featuring Colored casts have
deen suffering from a failure to se
cure the’ proper assistance from the
experienced directors and scenerio
writers. Not only has “Loyal
Hearts” secured an experienced direc
|tor but it has, and it is the only Col
ored company that has, secured a di
rector in Capt. Peacocke, who ts ¢
Jleader and star in the making and
|direction of photo-drama, This marks
Ja new era for better films featuring

DECORATION DAY
When Lionel Barrymore played "The Copperhead," women and men wept like children—then they rose and cheered. Now our patrons will have their only opportunity to see the same play produced on a greater scale, acted by thousands of people—with Barrymore in the title role.
MR. FORBES
By JACK LAYTON.
Mary Todd leaned back in her chair and listened, as her garrulous neighbor talked. She was well aware of the jubilant spitefulness of Abbie Mead's tone, yet almost convinced of its truth. Her own patient lips trembled in an effort to keep back protesting words of denial—of what use to deny that of which she knew nothing? Bob had been strangely reticent concerning this well published love affair of his. Every one seemed to have known of Bob's marked attention to the pretty stranger, before his mother had taken note of his absent evenings.
"Guess I'll run out for awhile," Bob would say; while she would nod smilingly, and get out the silk muftheer she was knitting for him. Mary Todd was very proud of her son's position in Millville's only bank. All the men of Bob's family had been clerical men. Mary was proud that her son added honorably to the line. The Todds had always been "looked up to"—as Abbie Mead had just repeated. "It was really too bad," she continued "that Bob should go and take up with a queer actin' strunger instead of nice girls he'd been brought up with. Abbie's own niece had seen Bob night after night, sittin' right out with the girl from the city on the porch of the Hall house, which she, herself, had rented and furnished, when the Halls went off to stay with their son's folks for the summer.
"My father and I will move in at once," the girl said, and the very next day she drove up in a car with a big man, who hurried into the house before those watching could catch a glimpse of his face, and nobody"—Able's voice dropped impressively—"nobody had seen the man since. Not even Jim Burley, when he left the groceries, or Ann Cloud, when she went there to work.
"My father, Mr. Forbes, doesn't wish to be disturbed,' the girl says calm as you please. an' Ann says that the girl even carries his meals up to him in his room; an' when one passes the door all one can hear is a rattle of papers, or smell cigar smoke beneath the door. Jim was telling Ann yesterday that this mysterious Mr. Forbes might be a bank robber from the way he hides his face. No one here pays any attention to the girl but—your Bob. A quick choice she made too. No one else was worth sinlin' up to, I reckon, in her opinion 'cause Bob's a good salaried man. Up an' down the street she goes in dresses like those on a fashion cover, her complexion too good, I says, to be true, an' her hair done up like a dancer's." Abbie Mead coughed. "I always like to know what there is to know before I condemn folk," she went on, "so I stopped in myself to call on Mis Forbes, an' I asked straight out for her Pa.
"He is not seeing anyone while we are here," Miss Forbes says real smooth, "you must try to let me entertain you."
"Well, I didn't let her entertain me long; but if I was you, Mary, I'd ask Bob, see how things is going, if he has seen the father of this new girl he's so crazy about, an' if not, what's the man hiding for? Ann says the door of his room was open one day when she went up the stairs, an' the girl, Fran—outlandish name—just flew ahead to close it before she got there. Well, good by Mary, I hope you realize this is told in friendly spirit."
Mary Todd arose as her neighbor left, and wiped the tears from her glasses. It was all nonsense of course, to be so disturbed over Millville gossip; yet Mary was disturbed. Bob's unusual reticence in this affair grieved her. When he came in she met him gravely. "Bob dear," she said. "Abble Mead has been telling me of your attachment for—the young stranger in our town. Your mother would be the first to relieve with you if it is a happy attachment. Bob. Or is there no truth in their suppositions? I want very much to know." Robert Todd drew his mother back to her chair, then looking down upon her slowly replied. "So much truth, mother, that I have just come from asking Frances Kennedy to marry me." A light came to Bob's dark eyes, his voice rang trumpet.
"Fran has accepted me—it is incomceivable with her beauty, her knowledge of bigger, better men in a world outside our little one. But my girl loves me mother, she really does—women are strange. And I'm bringing her to meet you tonight. She is so anxious to know you, mother—can you believe it?—to make her home humbly with us if you are willing. My golden girl with a heart as sweet and pure as a child—"
"Bob," Mary Todd spoke quietly, "you referred to this little girl as Frances Kennedy; here she has given the name of Miss Forbes—"
"Oh, that!' her son interrupted, "was to protect her father.
"Fran's father is in strict seclusion. Doctors have ordered absolute rest for a period of months. Hiding himself in a place like Millville was the only way he could get it. Even now, they are hunting him out. Fran explained this only when I asked her to be my wife, and she had to force her dad down to give his consent. Her father is Forbes Kennedy, you see, motion picture actor, of world renown; the moment I saw his face, I knew."
Troy, Mo.—More than 100 farmers of Lincoln county gathered here to discuss the drilling of a test oil well at Brussels, about six miles from here. A drilling machine has arrived and operations are to begin within a few days.

Oscar Micheaux's Drama at the Lincoln—All-Star Colored Talent.
No Colored drama has ever made a deeper impression upon the members of our race than the great play of the Northwest written by the renown dramatist and author, Oscar Michaux of Chicago. Wherever it has been shown, it has met with overflowing attendance. Next week, beginning May 23rd, Sunday, it will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre for a three day run.
"The Homesteader" is a powerful drama. The story is of the Great American Northwest with the race question defly interwoven. With Noble Johnson taking the leading part, the mammoth production presents to the patrons of the Lincoln Theatre a rare and never-to-be-forgotten treat. As other great plays, it will remain for many years to come a classic of colored drama.
The play is well written with all the action and thrills that go to make a sensational picture without ineting the wrong emotions. The portrayal of the parts are with the finesse that such stupendous drama merits. At no time during the acts, does the play lag but increases in its fascination until the very last of the picture. Those who know "The Homesteader" will ever praise it in no uncertain terms. The Sunday matinee will begin at 1:30 sharp and during the week days, performances will begin at 7 o'clock, so that the eager throngs may all be accommodated.
It takes a woman to out dream Napoleon. The great Corsican had an army behind him, but Olga Dolan was merely a child of the slums burdened with a drunken father. How she won the high social position of her dreams will be shown at Love's on Sunday and Monday, when William Fox will present "Lure of Ambition," the newest Theda Bara super production.
Married men cause most of the trouble in this world. At least Olga Dolan thinks so. Olga is the heroine in "Lure of Ambition," the new Theda Bara super-production which William Fox will present on Sunday and Monday at Love's.

For you, dear husband and father, just you
We've sighed and we've cried since we've lost you
No one knows what we've gone through.
We would give all we own just to have you back home;
We're lonesome, so lonesome for you.
Sadly missed by wife,
Della Baber, and Children.

In the midst of life, there is death.
Whereas the great and supreme
Ruler of the Universe has, in His infinite wisdom removed from among us one of our worthy and esteemed fellow laborers George W. Greenlee and
Whereas the long and intimate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties, in this Union makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him.
Therefore be it resolved that the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid of our organization by service, contribution and counsel will be held in grateful remembrance.
Resolved that the sudden removal of such a life from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this organization and will prove a serious loss to the Community and the public.
Resolved that with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased, we express hope that even so great a loss to us may be overruled for good by him who doeth all things well.

BISHOP PARKS RETURNS.
The General Conference of the A. M. E. church has closed and the Episcopal committee has seen fit in the face of fierce and ominous opposition to return Bishop Henry Blanton Parks for the third time to preside over the Fifth Episcopal District. Many Ministers and Laymen were out spoken as to the unwisdom of this act but now that it has been done it remains for the District to determine what the future shall be.

And so, Frederick Douglass will have a place in the American Hall of Fame. I think we can be justly proud of the honor thus conferred. Douglass is one of the unforgettable figures of American History. He was the upward and forward urge of the nation in that period in which the principles encoubled in the Declaration of Independence received their severest test as a code for democratic conduct. He conceived no "movement" and he did not found any school for specific educational training. But, somehow he towered above men. There was something of the "larger soul" in the man. He thought as a seer and he spoke as a prophet. He was Big, generous of heart and sincere in spirit. And, finally, I do not believe it was his possession of white blood—he might not have possesses any white blood—that made him a great man. Nature has an odd way, at odd times, of forging "blood" and making men out of the very mud of life.
the death of William Dean Howell recalls to mind the very gracious appreciation he gave to the world of Paul Lawrence Dunbar as a poet. In a more general sense, Mr. Howells will be remembered as a notable figure in the realm of what we sometimes call "American iLiterature." On my own account, I cannot help recalling the many pleasant hours, I have spent in the company of his books and "chats." I found charm and if not distinction in the more exalted sense, a strength of quality and a poise of templer which was adequate and permanently satisfying. I also feel free to confess that I got my completely satisfaction out of my reading of "The Imperative Duty." the novel in which Mr. Howells endowed to solve a phase of the "race problem." The book was so kindly conceived and so delightfully executed, from my point of view, I have never lost my relish for it as a story. It follows, I imagine, that the rank and file of our people will best remember him for the part he played in bringing Dunbar into the notice of the lovers of poetry throughout the country and the English speaking world in general. In the wider instances however, he will be remembered as the author of "The Rise of Silas Laphan," "A Chance Acquaintance," "The Quality of Mercy," "The Landlord at Lion's Head," and his "chats" delivered from the "Editor's Easy Chair," of "Harpers," for so many years. Long live his memory.
BRAITHWAIT PLAYERS PRESENT SECOND ANNUAL PLAY.
The second annual play of the Braithwaite Players of Western University was presented Wednesday evening May 5 to an even larger audience than witnessed the Senior presentation in March, that being the largest crowd that ever packed into Ward Hall.
The play was entitled "Ritas" and was the production of Prof. Crews, director of the Players and founder of the organization.
The lines were ably interpreted and were notable for their sprightness and sparkling humor. The Choruses were tuneful and well sung and the audience took them up in sheer delight. A drama probably "Fixed upon Jebovah" will be presented next year.

On a "Special train" to Southland,
Gally journeyed a happy band;
Men of prominent social standing,
Ever noble, quite commanding—
Their mission proved a marked success,
Read "The Sun" and you'll confess;
A visit South reveals true facts,
Depicts the situation exact.
One can but duly note with pride,
Race enterprises opened wide;
The Master has been truly kind,
To some of our race in Southern clime—
Bayview—Memphis and Montgomery too,
The boys really know just what to do;
The commodious Elks' Rest, at Birmingham,
Will gladly tender you a welcome hand.
At Tuskegee, an Institution grand,
Sweet music furnished by an excellent band;
The home of educational developments rare,
All others with which can hardly compare—
Tis admirable and interesting to walk within,
The spacious halls where knowledge begin;
In Southland you'll find a welcome awaits
To all who enter within her gates.

SOMETHING ABOUT "THE BRAT"
Being shown Tuesday and Wednesday by request.
Nazimova's great production, "The Brat," which comes to Love's Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday next for a two days' engagement, is the story of the ennobling influences of love. Its heroine and dominating character is a waif of the city's slums who has never known any name save "the brat." To eke out a precarious existence she plays in the chorus of a cheap musical comedy. But the pittance she receives for wages is not enough to clothe her in even the half-decent style of the other girls. "Fired" for being shabby, she faces the world desperate. A masher insults her: she slaps his face and is haled to the Night Court on an outrageous charge falsely made by the man she rebuffed. There a celebrated author salvages her from the human wrecks awaiting justice for their misdemeanors. He takes her home to study her as the heroine of his forthcoming novel. Love is kindled and fanned to flame—but jealousy stalks in its wake; and there ensues a drama of heart-throbs and smiles, with surprises and tremendously moving climaxes. By reason of her simple faith the odd little "brat" eventually triumphs after heartburnings and sacrifees that touch the whole narrative with the superb qualities of genius.

No Indian head-hunter ever was fiercer than Oliga Dolan. She was on the warpath of revenge, eager for the head of society. And she got it. Therein lies a story. It will be told at Love's theatre on Sunday and Monday when William Fox will present "Lure of Ambition," the newest Theda Bara super-production.
Only cowards flee when caught in the act. But Olga Dolan did not permit Cyril Ralston's cowardice to pass unpunished. The story of revenge is embodied in a thrilling photoplay "Lure of Ambition," the newest Theda Bara super-production, which William Fox will present on Sunday and Monday at Love's.

"The skeleton in the closet" may be a living person. That person may even be insane. So it was in the case of the Duke of Rutledge.

An ingenious method of measuring the depth of sludge in deep sedimentation tanks is employed at the sewage disposal works of Fitchburg Mass, says a Canadian writer. The measurements are made by means of a pitcher pump and 28 feet of 1-inch rubber hose, marked in 1-foot lengths. The pump is screwed to a 3-foot plank and attached to the hose by a union coupling. In making measurements the plank is placed across the top of a gas vent and the hose pushed into the tank until it is near the supposed sludge level. The hose is then lowered an inch at a time. Between each shift sufficient pumping is done to insure a complete change of water in hose. When the sludge level is reached, the pump will raise sludge. The length of the hose below the chimney top is then noted, and as the distance from top of chimney to bottom of tank is known it is an easy matter to estimate the depth of the sludge.
