He has saved the city considerable money and says if continued in office he will continue to save the money. The city bonds have been placed at the disposal of the poor as well as the rich man. Mr. Wasson says he has always had the port of the colored people and that Mr John M. Wright, M. W Oweron, Prof. Sawyer and Prof. Ridley have been his friends for years and he says anyone in doubt as to who he is need but ask one of these men, Tom B. Garrett Announces Himself a candidate for Commissioner of Streets and Public Improvements. He is a printer by trade and come to Toneka in 1881. He has been con- The following is the segregation bill that failed to be passed at the session of the Kansas Legislature which closed Tuesday. It is one of those Kaiser Bill-Tillman-Vardman laws meant to crush down a class of citizens who have proven one hundred per cent American on every occasion. The bill: (Printed for the House) Senate Bill No. 567—By Committee on Education. AN ACT In relation to powers and duties of boards of education in certain cities of the second class, and to amend section 9136 of the General Statutes of Kansas for 1915. Do it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas; Section 1—That section 9126 of the General Statutes of Kansas for 1915 be, and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 9136. The board of education of any city of the second class shall have power to elect its own officers, except treasurer; to fill vacancies in said board, caused by death, removal or resignation, until the next city election; to make its own rules and regulations subject to provisions of law; to organize and maintain a system of graded and high schools such as it deems the educational interests of the city demand; to exercise sole control over the schools and school property of the city; to maintain such high school, in whole or in part, by demanding, collecting and receiving a tuition fee for and from each and every scholar or pupil attending such high school; and, in cities of the second class which now have or hereafter may have a population of 5,000 or more, to establish and maintain either on its own initiative, or upon petition, separate rooms or buildings for the different sexes, races or nationalities of the grade schools of said city, or any part thereof; Provided, that such separate rooms or buildings shall be equal in sanitation, equipment, conduct and facilities to those of other grade schools; And further provided, that in such separate rooms or schools not over three successive grades nor more than the average number of pupils shall be included in any one room. Sec. 2-That original section 19136 on the General Statutes of Kansas for 1915 is hereby repealed. Sec. 3-That this act shall take effect and be in force from and after its publication in the statute book. We are under many obligations to Mr. W. M. Amos, labor member of the house and Mr. Thos. Nelswender, representative from North Topeka. These two gentlemen from Shawnee county are to be congratulated and the colored people shall always remember them. We also wish to call special attention to the sneaker pro tem of the house, Mr. D. A. N. Chase, of Pleasanton; Chafman Evans and several other members, whom we cannot mention at this time. Mr. Chase is one of the grandest and best men that ever sat in the house, and if ever he seeks higher honors in politics, The Plaindealer along with all the rest of the colored people and clean, high minded whites will be for him and his kind. Martin, of Iteno, made himself conspicuous by calling for a vote on Senate Bill No. 567, but the motion was lost and then a vote carried to take a recess until 9 o'clock Wednesday morning at which time nothing but financial and appropriation bills should be considered and then adjourn at noon the same day. This is what put Senate Bill No. 567 out of compulsion. This bill came up last Friday before the Committee on Education and the committee voted that it be not passed. Mrs. Minnie J. Grinstead, of Liberal, Seward county, and J. A. Myers (note the kaiser in the name) filed a minority report which placed the bill on the calendar, thereby causing so much trouble for a people who are 100 per cent American in name deed and act. We hope the people of Liberal will exercise good judgment and see that this woman stays at home and darns her husband's socks gets his meals and keeps the cobwebs out of the house, two years hence, as it seems to be the onlion of both men and women in and around the capitol that she would succeed more admirably at that than trying to make laws. The only thing she did for Seward county was to place her son on the payroll as a page in the house thereby keeping some returned soldier out of a job and violating the law that forbids making a public job a family affair. Seward county needs many things that could have been obtained at the hands of the late legislature, had a man or woman been sent to Topleka with something else on their mind other than a job for member of their family and a monkey wrench to cast into the machinery that is moving the colored race closer to the goal of a better and higher citizenship. It is the first time that a woman has ever had a seat in the Kansas legislature, and it is a pity that they were represented by such a miserable failure. However, we believe the people who voted for Mrs. Grinstead, did it more as a fad than for real results. We cannot imagine what the people of Tribune and Greeley county were thinking about when our boys are just returning from drowning Fritz, to elect a man named Myers to represent them in the legislature. The Myers have cost this government more money and more lives in the past two years than any one thing on earth. No sooner did this fellow land in Topeka than he began to try to spread his "kulture." The mad desire to dominate and crush the weak is visible unto his generation. We have crushed the iron heel of the Myers "over there" and sincerely hope the good people of Greeley county will not make a mistake by again sending them to the Kansas legislature to make laws for America and Americans. This man Myers, of Tribune, is indeed offensive to the good name of Kansas. Prof. Fred Roundtree, Prof. N. Sawyer, teachers in the public schools, Rev. S. E. J. Watson and Rev. H. W. White, went before the Committee on Education and spoke in behalf of the colored citizens of Kansas. Prof. Roundtree is bold, brave and every inch a man. ... told the Committee that the schools were for the people and not for the teachers and that he was asked to teach in the public schools of Topeka, but if teaching separate schools was meant to keep him in a job in order to segregate the children he would rather give up his job and mix the schools for the children's interests were paramount to those of the teachers' or that of anybody else. Prof. Nat. Sawyer was equally as hold and manly in his declarations against the bill. These two men are the only teachers in the City of Topeka who showed any interest in trying to kill this bill; in fact they have always been interested in the welfare and upbuilding of the race. They not only talk, but they act and put their hands in their pockets to help fight the battle of the race while most of the other male teachers do a great deal of talking and nothing more. Some of them are satisfied to draw money from the public and play the part of the white man in letting the race struggle as best it can. The Kansas Defense Society is under many obligations to Mrs. Ella Rolling, of Topeka. She was faithful tried and true, never once resting on her arms. She is a bold, and fearless exponent of the rights of her people, and had it not been for the faithful watch of she and Prince Edwards, of Wichita, the handicap would have been much greater. We are sorry that the Kansas Defense Society will not be able to pay Mrs. Rolling the amount of money she earned in this fight, because the organization can only afford to pay but a little as it is not being supported by all the people who cry race pride.

His cheeks are rosy showing that California climate agreed with him. Mr. Hodgins said he was in company with Mr. W. E. Sterne, who was for years one of Toukea's most formidable business citizens, but went to California several years ago, established a large business and is making plenty of money. Mr. Hodgins says that Mr. Sterne made it very pleasant for him and they visited many places of interest in the state. Mr. Holdens is a great friend of the colored people and their true to him.

He is one of the largest stockholders and manager of the Topeka Ice and Fuel company and also a stockholder in the Central Topeka Paper Co. and the Shawnee Milling Co., besides vast holdings of real estate in this county and other parts of Kansas. WILL REVIEW CASE OF SOLDIERS WILL REVIEW CASE OF SOLDIERS Men Sent to Prison for Participation in Houston Riot Get New Trial. The light of day begins to show for the soldiers convicted for participation in the Houston, Tex. riot, for whose release the Kansas Defense Society is working. Several days ago the Defense Society through that ever ready and willing servant, Congressman Dan K. Anthony, who sent the following telegram to which he received a reply granting the request to review the case of the soldiers by the Clemency Board in Washington. At the same time however, the habeas corpus proceedings brought in the United States court by the Society for the release of these boys is pending will be heard shortly. Congressman Anthony's telegram reads Leavenworth, Kansas March Leavenworth, March 11, 1819. Judge Advocate General, U. S. A., Washington, D. C. Will the cases of the men convicted for participation in the Houston riot be taken up for review under recent order of the Secretary of War, that all cases where excessive sentences were imposed during war would be reviewed. The Kansas Defense Society asks that this be done, and I would strongly urge that there be no discrimination in the reviewing of all war sentences. Advisor, Following is the telegram received by the President of the Kansas Defense Society from Congressman Anthony in response to the message sent by the Congressman to the War Department.

Negro Actors Will Appear for First Time on Screen in High-class Play—Topakane in Cast. For the first time in stage history, a Negro cast will appear on the screen in a high-class play. It also marks the first time that a book by a race man has been dramatized and presented before the public. The "Homesteader" is perhaps the strongest story ever put in print. It is a beautiful, well told story of western life as it really is, and not a sensational picture or story as most western stories go. Kansas and Kansans feel a deep interest in the "Hometeader," more so than any other picture ever flashed upon the screen, because of the fact that the author is a Kansan as is also several members of the cast. When the "Hometeader" comes to Topeka, a warm welcome awaits the picture, and every person of color and hundreds of whites will avail themselves of the oppor- n MISS EVELYN PREER unity to see familiar faces- home folks, who carry the strongest rolls in the play, Miss Evelyn Preer, one of the most beautiful women before she tootlights, is the wife of Mr. Frank Preer, one of Topeka's oldest citizens, but now a resident of Chicago. She is carrying a leading roll, as is also Mr. Trevey Woods, of Coffeville, Kansas. He is well known in Topeka and throughout the state. Word comes from St Joseph, Mo. that the picture is playing to big business, but it is in Topeka where the picture will no doubt receive the largest and most enthusiastic crowds since leaving Chicago. At each and every performance of the "Inmesteader" which comes to the Grand Monday, March 24th for five days' engagement, Mr. Geo, R Garner, Jr., greatest Negro tenor will sing. This is his third annual tour of the West and the press of all the cities where he sung, speaks of him as America's greatest Negro tenor. In Judge Advocate General's office in Washington. (Signed) D. R.

It follows: Washington, D. C., March 20, 1919 Hon. D. R.

Malone, Race Builders Were Royal to the Boys. St. Louis, Mo., March 12—The "Poro" College Co., of which Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone are proprietors opened their college to the replacement soldiers of the 369th Infantry last Saturday, and made them welcome. Eleven soldiers who were en route to Camp Funston to be mustered out of service, passed thru the city, and having a day to remain, were brought to the "Poro" College by the Rev. Shelton Parr, of the Y. M. C. A. The boys who were mostly from the state of Kansas, wore the colre de guirre. In the party were Corp. Bert Watts, Corp. Augustus A. Davis, Corp. Eugene Washington., Privatees Samuel Mayhew, Walter Hunter, William Glover, Grover Gilleaple, Fred W. Cooper, J. W. Essex, Len Richle, Plummer Walker, and Eugene Washington. For an hour they played pool in the private pool room of Mr. Malone and at noon were escorted to the main auditorium where a splendid program was rendered by the "Poro" College girls. Miss May D Thomas sang, "The Rose of No Man's Land" sweetly and charmingly, and the soldiers were highly elated over the rendition. Misses Keith and Moore sang, "Somebody Here Bears a Weary Load" in a pleasing and delightful manner. The whole College sang as the soldiers marched in "The Old Flag Never-Touched the Ground Boys." It was an inspiring occasion. Cary B Lewis, of the Chicago Defender, who was here on a visit presided at the meeting and introduced an old soldier, Comrade G. W. Edwards, who told the boys of his experience during the sixties. Fred W. Cooper, Kansas City, and Len Richle, Atchison, Kansas, who were citation badges awarded by the French government, delivered addresses. They related in detail the bravery, heroism, during and courage of the 169th Infantry. Told of how the boys of their regiment went "over the top" and incidentally how some of the Southern white officers treated them. Tears came to the eyes of the young women who heard how their brothers in blood were treated, but the soldiers said "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground." Following the addresser, Mr. and Mrs. Malone extended them a warm welcome, threw the building onto them for the afternoon. The soldiers were surprised when they were escorted to the dining room where a feast, a real old fashioned dinner was prepared for them. Mr. and Mrs. Malone received a letter yesterday from Prof W S Scarborough of Wilberforce University on Founders' Day at the school. The Malones are planning to establish a branch at Chicago, Ill and Atlanta, Ga. and in June will make a drive in the East for a larger business. THE DENIAL OF PASSPORTS. The March Crisis says: In spite of the assurance of Dr W. E. H Burghardt DuBols, special European correspondent of The Crisis, that Negroes would be welcomed at a Pan-African Congress to be held in Paris, the State Department has refused passports to Negroes wishing to attend such a conference. The New York Call says: Fear that the delegates to the Pan-African Congress at Paris would tell the story of Negro lynchings, "Him Crow" laws and discrimination against the black race in the United States to the Peace Conference, caused the State Department to refuse them passports. The State Department is in a position to state that the French government has not been approached on the subject, but does not consider this a favorable time to hold such a conference. In the circumstances the Department will be unable to grant passports to persons desiring to proceed to Paris for the purpose of attending such a congress. The purpose of the Pan American Congress was to urge upon the peace delegates the internationalization of the former German colonies in Africa. mules, actors, field marshals, presidents, emperors, authors and the entire category of great and remarkable men. In short the whole library of famous names is to be found in the long testimonial given by the valiant colored citizens composing the 84th company, Transportation Corps, U.S.A. to the K. of C.

PUB GRAND Twi Oscar Mi 66 The The crack Chicago Regiment who pushed the Huns back across the Rhine and sent the Kaiser into oblivion. NOTICE—This wonderful and spectacular production, the first great creation from the pen of a Negro ever screened, was held up by the Board of Censors for the city of Chicago, owing to a vicious attack by three well known Negro ministers of that city, until reviewed by a committee of the better class of both races, who unanimously proclaimed it to be the most masterful portrayal for many a day. The part objected to by these three ministers was, that it attacked the moral conduct of a certain well known minister—one of the three happening to be the one attacked. Needless to say the production was duly released and is now playing to great crowds at more than a dozen houses in that city, black and white.
