TOPEKA PLAINDEALER "TWO JIMS" ORDER PROVEN A SKIN GAME! The Editor of the Plaindealer Substantuates Charges Against Fake Insurance Order in Court. ALL OUR STATEMENTS TRUE! Get-Rich-Quick, Skin Game Finds Very Little Balm in Libel Suit----Backed by Insurance Records and Substantial Citizens, the Editor Was Acquited and the Brand of "Fake" Placed on the Knights and Ladies of Protection. Historical Society State House Since Winning "TWO JIMS PRO" The Editor of the stantuates Char Insurance Or ALL OUR STA Get-Rich-Quick, Skin Gan in Libel Suit---Backe and Substantial Citi Acquited and the Placed on th Ladies of The "Two Jims" order, better known as the Knights and Lafites of Protection met with a warm reception in the court of common pleas at Kansas City. Kas, last week with the editor of this paper They are now sadier officials but no wiser. In December 1910, "Big" Jim Mason, vice president of the order and a resident of Topeka, journeyed down to the Mouth of the Kaw and there swore to a complaint charging that we had unliciously libeled his fake order in the following articles charging three counts: A WARNING To the Colored People of Kan. and Elsewhere: "Seware of the knights and ladies of Protection, an order that has robbed several colored people and will rob many more if they continue to live up to its mandates. They are duping the hardworking men and women of the race. James H. Gray is the president. J. G. Groves, treasurer Rev. Fishback, secretary holds the office only in name. He knows nothing of the order. They are sending agents over the state fleeing the people. The insurance commissioner ought to stop them. He said if they had been a white order they would have been stopped long ago. They ought to be stopped. That is no reason why they should be allowed to dupe and rob the poor Negro. We warn the race to beware of this wild cat skin game." While they were still smarting under the sting of the "Warning" the following shot was fired into the hulk of their sinking craft. Then came the mad rush to Kansas City for a warrant. We said: FAKE INSURANCE COMPANY We have bounded a note of warning to the colored people to be ware of a fake order, the Knights and Ladies of Protection, an order destined to rob the poor, hard-working men, women and children. They should not be permitted to operate another minute. The insurance commissioner is aware that they are weak and preying upon the innocent for existence. They owe several hundred dollars which they cannot pay. We are at a loss TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1911 to know just how long the officers will permit this wild cat, get rich. quick, skin game to quiet. When a loss occurs they 'hodge' around to around to beat the beneficiary out of part of the money. No one seems to know anything about the running of the game but the president. He keeps the books and the head quarters at his law office. The idea of the insurance commissioner permitting this concern to issue thousands of dollars worth of policies with about 4500 in the treasury with which to pay the claims. They can't pay. We can name policies where they turned the people in great shape. They aim to pay enough to keep the people in good shape. If the insurance commissioner fails to act the government should investigate and leprose them of the use of the mails. J. G. Groves, the treasurer knows nothing of the working of the order—just in it to grab his share when the order goes broke. James Mason, the vice president, knows less, and Rev. C. G. Fish, back, the secretary, never wrote a note in the book and does only the things he told. He too is waiting for Negro to drop and get his share. "It will pay one to read the report of 1 in which several untruthful statements will be found." THE LAW SUIT. We met the charges, went on the witness stand and told judge and jury that every word was true as published except a typographical error which said "can pay" when it out to have been "cannot pay." We substantiated our charges by D. D. Hope who testified that "Big" Jim with another officer had beat him out of $51 on a note endorsed by him for the use of the company and that they owe it now. Dr O. A. Taylor swore that he was out of $125 by signing bonds and notes for the company which had not been paid. Miss Ellie Porter was not permitted to testify because her claim was back in 1905 when they beat her out of $150. The objection of the proseciting attorney on the grounds that her claim was too far back was sustained. The gang tried to back up just at the time "Little" Jim was elevated to the presedency, but Jim and all of them have been connecte with order since its organization. They contended that we were sore because the company had beat us out of several hundred dollars which prompted the newspaper attack. To make good this contention they put D. H. Branaman, one of their attorneys on the stand, who swore that we said we would brake the company up if they did not pay the money due us. Elisha Scott, general field agent, J. G. Groves, treasurer and J. H Guy, attorney, also testified They also had their whitewash brush from the insurance department, J. E. Jones, special examiner, who resides in Osage City. He made a special examination last fall when we first began to train our guns upon the rotten institution. Jones got a little tar mixed in his lime, and before our attorney, L. S. Harvey got through grilling him, the boys were sorry they called him to the stand. While Jones unintentionally assisted us in unearthing a rotten deal carried out by J. G. Groves, he showed his incompetency by not being able to discover a one hundred dollar shortage which had been in hiding for five years or more, yet Jones could not tell how much or what it was, but said it was something that did not amount to much. When Groves was called to the stand, Mr. Harvey made him tell all about the transaction Groves jabbered like an ancestor in Ringling's menagerie, but he had to come across with the clean thing. He borrowed $100 to send P. C. Thomas on a wild goose chase to Tennessee for the purpose of organizing new companies. "Big" Jim and Thomas signed the note and Groves guaranteed it. The note came due and was carried a long time Groves does business with the bank as does also the order and at the first opportunity the bank charged off the account by taking the hundred out of the order's funds. Groves was afraid to squel, as he knew the hundred would come out of his pocket and he would be forced to look to the company for reembursement. The loan was not authorized by the order was the company's contention in our case notwithstanding the fact that the entire committee signed the note and Groves guaranteed it, but he and the order side-stepped and we had it to pay. They coiled Rev. Fishback. national president, to the stand only to have him substantuate our claim that he did not keep the books and therefore knew nothing of the running of the affairs. Rev Fishback said Jim Guy is the president, the office in Jim's office and that his wife is the clerk and that the money came to Jim's office. Jim is also the attorney, in fact we think he is the whole show except when it gets up to Groves. "Little" Jim told of the claims they had paid but was silent about those that had not been paid. Attorney Bell, of Leavenworth, the man in the bushes, assisted Prosecutor Meeks, and we certainly felt sorry for the prosecutor. He realized what he was up against, but somehow the boys seemed to think he ought to dethrone the judge and assume full charge. Meeks did all in his power to pacify the gang and it is a good, safe bet that he was glad to get rid of them. The president of the local council at Edwardsville was called to the stand and he too like Blind Bartemus cannot see or hear the breakers ahead We called Mr Grant Harrington, an expert on fraternal insurance, to the stand to prove that the order was in a failing condition and could not pay out at the present rate, which has been and is our contention Here poor meeks suffered again. The gang tried to whisper in his ear all at the same time. Finally the court decided not to admit Mr. Harrington's testimony. We next offered a report file with the insurance commissioner by the order ending December 31, showing total of 200 members with liabilities amounting to more than forty-five thousand dollars cash in bank $295, claims unpaid $278, leaving a balance of $17 in the treasury. Just think of it, only seventeen dollars in the treasury of a concern after being in business since 1805. The jury was composed of twelve white men who were out a part of two days. Seven were for acquital and five did not understand the law nor the evidence so they were dismissed, thus proving to the public that what we said was true. Instead of them proving us guilty, we proved that they ought to be put out of business Hugh Smith, the presiding judge, is a man of exceptional ability, and watches the scales with a vigilant eye and if they tip a little too far one way he will bring them back to ballance. In fact the whole bunch from judge down to baliff are gentlemen in every particular and attend strictly to business showing neither fear nor favor. Our attorney, Hon. L. S. Harvey, is a crackerjack. He was formerly county attorney of Miami county, but now resides in Kansas City, Kansas, and has an office at 715 Minnesota avenue. Mr. Harvey made it so NUMBER 18 warm for the boys that they will remember him as long as they live. "Scotty," general' field agent for the order, says he is the best in the state. We believe Jones, the whitewash man thinks so too. It would have been a pleasure indeed to have seen this order succeed and it would had good, conscientious, streightforward business men been put in command. "Big" Jim knows as much about running an insurance order as a chimpanzee does about running a Sunday school If success can be obtained by scheming people out of their money. "Little" Jim and Groves would make the company a howling success. Again we repeat, beware of this FAKE order for they cannot exist the way they are running now. We hate to see hardworking people duped in such a manner. If the order is able to keep up let them prove it to the public by facts and figures. We have no personal grievence against the order because they skinned us but they beat so many others that it would be a shame for this paper to keep silent when the editor has personal knowledge of what they have done and are doing We have discovered something startling about one of the officials since the trial and when dished up and served to the public will be more convincing proof that our contention is right. The citizens and taxpayers of Wyandotte county are justly sore and kicking because the case was unloaded upon them when all parties concerned live in Shawnee county. Refused to Jim Crow Mrs. B. T. Washington Memphis, Tenn., May 2--As a result of charges today in railroad circles that the Jim Crow laws of Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee had been violated, officers of the Cotton Belt Railroad and Pollman company will be prosecuted. The wife of Booker T. Washington alighted from a Pullman car Charges are made that she had been snuggled through from Paris, Texas in the drawing room. Mrn. Washington'm effort to get a taxicab failed her, every white chauffeur refusing to conduct her. Conductor Rogern maid that he would rather give up his job than to continue being a slave driver. "Mrn. Washington," he maid, "in just on good and far better than lots of passengers I handle over my line. You may put me on record as saying that not only Mrn. Washington, but any respectable colored lady will be given comfort by me." TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Troutman, one of the leading attorneys and capitalists of Kansas has returned from Jackson Miss., where he purchased five thousand acres of land. He says land can be bought from $4 to $15 per acre. Mr. Troutman says further that the Southern white man will not work, that the perest whites loiter ar und and whit good boxes and trees, and that the colored man is practically a slave. Before he could rent some of his land a colored farmer he had to pay a balance of $75 due the man whose farm he worked the previous year. A colored man cannot move to another farm until his present master is satisfied, no matter what the claim may be Mr. Troutman is trying to interest Kansas capitalists in purchasing cheap lands in Mississippi and send Northern and Western people down to resurect the dead art of agriculture in this Sodom and Gomorah Mr Troutman is a man of culture, refinement and wealth and three Speer Hardware Co., The largest Hardware House in the Soutewest.

Probably this is the work of the Lord-sending a Joseph down to Canaan to save his starving brethren who had at one time sold him into bondage. Surely the scripture is being fulfilled: "Go save the heathens." Mr. Troutman is one of Kansas's most aggressive Republicans and served as lieutenant governor. He is a firm believer in the doctrine advocated by Abraham Lincoln, Grant and Sherman, and always preached that Jeff Davis and the rebel army were traitors. We wish him success in his new field of adventure and also hope that he will succeed in getting Southern men to cease dreaming of "Negro mination" and go to work. A young white man asked Mr. Troutman that was trying their whites in the North feed and milk their cows and grow their horses, and when informed that it was a fact he was ast mish Mr. Troutman said that Northern people fall into the same rut with the Southerners after being there a short time.
