AMERICAN LEGION MEETS THE COLOR QUESTION The national caucus of the American Legion in session at St. Louis this week, found its only stubborn questions when they undertook to consider prohibition and also the colored man's place in the organization. Speaking of the matter, the press dispatches say: "Differences on the race question caused a deadlock at the morning session. Tarton Swift, a New York representative, said his State opposed drawing a color line, or any attempt to bar Negroes. At this point the discussion became so heated that Louis Genelle, a delegate from Louisiana, shook his fist in the New York representative's face. G. P. Calhoun, representing Connecticut; Archie Genellev, and G. A. Rick, of Pennsylvania, also took part in the discussion. A resolution to put the matter up to the State themselves and to provide separate charters under which the Negroes and whites could hold separate joint conventions was rejected. "It was decided to hold the first full National Conference in Minneapolis, Nov. 11, 12 and 13." REV. J. R. RANSOM RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT FOR BISHOP, Electoral College at Emporia Pledged Support to Well Known Kansan. The Electoral College of the Kansas Conference of the A. M.

SLAIN BY DRUMMER Herbert Wright, Member of His Band, Is Charged With Stabbing Leader In Neck at Boston Concert. Boston May 9—Ident James Heese (Jim) Europe died at a hospital here at 11 o'clock tonight as a result of a wound in the neck, said to have been inflicted by Herbert Wright, drummer in the band of the "Hell Fighters" (26th Infantry), of which Europe was the leader. The two engaged in an alteration at Mechanics' Hall, where the band has been giving a series of concerts. Europe, who was standing in the wings while the band was playing, called out to Wright to "put more pey in the sticks." Wright left his drum and walked hastily over to Europe, who retreated to his dress- room. Wright followed him, and after some words the police allege he drew a knife and slashed Europe in the neck. Wright was arrested. Both men came from New York. Born in the South. Lieut. Europe was born about 37 years ago in Mobile, Ala., his father being at the time in the Government service. Europe early in life showed the Negro's aptitude for music and dled in Washington. He came to New York about fifteen years ago and immediately became prominent in the musical activities of his own people. He founded the Cef Club, which comprises some 250 musicians and which had at times been heard in public as a symphony orchestra and in other capacities. A Composer of Note. Europe acquired much fame by providing musicians and composing a large part of the music used by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle when the dance craze was at its height. "The Castle Lame Duck" waltz was his best known composition of this nature. When the call of war came, Europe answered and went to France as a machine gunner. He was soon asked to organise a band from the colored fighters who were abroad, and Europe gathered a band made up of colored men from all parts of the United States. When this band gave its first concert in Paris, the so-called jazz features a great sensation, and Europe had to play in Paris for weeks. When the Fifteenth returned to America in February, Europe's band got much recognition and a fine welcome. After the Fifteenth was mustered out, Europe and his band gave two performances at the Manhattan Opera House, to the delight of crowded houses. They then started on a transcontinental tour of the country. Members of the Clof Club last night, when told of the death of their popular founder, said it would be a distract loss to the club and to the Negro colony here. It was said at the club that Europe leaves a waldow at No. 57 West 133d Street, a brother in New York, and a mother and three sisters in Washington. MITE MISSIONARY SOCIETY WILL MEET IN LEAVENWORTH Parsons, Kansas May 12.—To the Members of the Kansas Conference Branch Mite Missionary Society. Dear Sisters: Our annual Convention will be held in Leavenworth, Kansas. Thursday and Friday, July 30-31 1919 in the A. M. E. church, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, pastor. All auxiliaries are asked to raise their assessment and quadrennial tax, and send one or more delegates. If you do not know the amount of your quadrennial tax, write to the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Lille Lacy, 1643 E Maple St., Kansas City, Kansas, and she will gladly tell you. This being the quadrennial year we must raise our connectional claims. We have made wonderful advancement in the last four years and we cannot afford to fall in the raising of these claims. The war has caused our Missionaries to suffer greatly and we must double our efforts to meet the demands of the reconstruction ported. Do not forget to send or bring in a piece for the bazaar. Pray that we may have a glorious convention and go over the top finally. - St. President. Under the leadership of their pastor, Rev. J. A. Broadnax, the 138 members that constitute Allen Chapel A. M. E. church in a rally May 4th raised $1,038.25. Born in the South. QMAHA. NEBRASKA. HON. NELSON C. CREWS Orator and Editor THE EDITOR EN ROUTE In route to Oklahoma, the editor made several stops at the following places: The people of Leavenworth are in high spirits over the great improvement made on the A. M. I. church by the Rev. J. C. C. Owens, the pastor. The interior on both floors has been newly papered and painted. At one collection they raised over $1,200 with which to make improvements. Mr. R. M. Frazier, who owns and operates one of the most successful vulcanizing plants in the country, has all of the auto people coming his way. He does first-class work, employing three or four men. He also owns the business block in which he is located and also a fine residence. His daughter is attending Wilberforce University. Prof. and Mrs. B. K. Bruce received a letter from their daughter, Miss Louise, stating that she is on the ocean en route to Paris, where she has the appointment to a splendid position with the Y. W. C. A. She speaks and writes Spanish, German and French. Miss Bruce is an accomplished young lady and a graduate of Ann Harbor, and Kansas is proud of her. Prof. Bruce, her father has been principal of the South Leavenworth school for years and is one of the country's foremost educators. Here the people are holding their own for a small town. Mr. R. M. Shelby is still buying grain at the elevator. He looks like a bov of sixteen smiling over three beautiful children. Miss Daisy Peak, principal of the school, is doing fine and has a good attendance. Mr. Edward Jackson is still manufacturing cement blocks. PLEASANTON. Here is the home of our foreman, Ira Smith. This town is where you find little race prejudice. The white people believe the colored people have rights which others are bound to respect. Hon. D. A. N. Chase, the high-minded young white man who ably represented Linn county in the 1919 session of the legislature lives here. He ably assisted in killing the Jim Crow school bill and is proud he did it. We organized a branch of the Kansas Defense Society on Friday night at the A. M. E. church. The Rev. J. E Christopher, pastor, had a fine meeting. Mr Arnold, our correspondent, deserves much credit. He is a race man. Mr. R. E. Fine is a real live wire. He conducts a clothes cleaning establishment and shine parlor, and is making good. Mr. Fine is a Western University boy, married and doing well. We wish other young men in the state would follow the excellent example set by this young man. We met Mrs. Mary Smith, the fine Christian mother of Ira Smith, our foreman. She is proud of her son, Ira, and the success he has made at his chosen profession. Mr. Smith is one of the best allround printers in the country. He is ahead of any colored printer we know of and we are acquainted with many, and very few whites are his equal. The colored people in this community neglected to take to the farm in the early days, so there are none to speak of farming around here. RAYTER SPRINGS. We organized a branch of the Defense Society at Baxter Sunday. The colored people need a shaking up in this place. Here they have a volunteer Jim Crow school; an old, delapidated building not fit for the housing of cattle, Prof. R. E. Johnson, principal, is a fine young race man, and wants a new building or put the children where the law requires. The school board will be asked to do something. The Kansas Defense Society will be on the scene. Rev. C. T. Whitcomb, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church will help and take the lead in this matter. He is a young man full of good thoughts for the future. RAOLA ```markdown ``` Plaindealer CHARLES PINKSTON HOME. Charles Pinkston, son of Patrolman K K.

Miss Edith Harvey has been visiting her chum, Miss Margie Weaver and Miss Willie Weaver. DR. MOTON'S REPORT The revelations contained in Dr. Motou's statement recently telling why he went to France are startling and almost inconceivable in haring to the world the naked and hellish efforts of white American officers to blacken the record of Negro officers and soldiers in service in France. From the facts adduced by Dr. Moton two plain outstanding conclusions are drown: that a cabal of white American army officers in the Expeditionary Force had planned to fortune in the great world war as write the history of the American Negro as proven by himself by his peran inferior and notoriously unfit and incapable for duty as a soldier and especially unfit for leadership as an officer and, inferentially, upon his return to America unfit and incapable of exercising the functions of citizenship and the leadership developing therefrom. This nefarious scheme was to be accomplished by the conviction of the Negro private in the public mind, through propaganda, as a beast, and of the Negro officer as a coward. Like the infernal lying propaganda of fifteen years ago which sought to mark the entire race as a race of rapists and the infamous daily spread of which by Candidate Hoke Smith, now a United States Senator, precipitated the Atlanta riot, the Negro soldiers of the 92d Division were a band of raiders. Just as in Georgia and other Southern states when the rape propaganda was at its crest it was declared that white women dared not walk the highways alone for fear of Negro brutes, so it was told to American women that they dared not walk through the lines of the 92d Division even with a white officer accompanying. The commanding officer of the 928 Division declared to Dr. Moton that rape was very prevalent, that there was a great number of cases and that he was very much disturbed there by When the record was examined, Dr. Moton found only seven cases charged against soldiers of the Division increased to eleven by the statement of the Judge Advocate General of which only three were found guilty and punished, one whose sentence was reduced from life imprisonment to loss of half of the soldier's pay for twelve months. At General, or French headquarters there was no criticism of Negro privates or officers. In the history of the great war no blacker page will be written, not even of the atrocities of the Hun, than the record of the brutal and unjust treatment of Negro soldiers and the living and persistent endeavors on the part of the cabal of white officers to destroy their good name as men in the ranks and as officers despite their amazing loyalty and unsurpassed heroism in facing the foe and their descent to duty and efficient service wherever placed. Dr Moton deserves the highest praise and the gratitude of the entire race for the thoroughness and the effectiveness with which he performed the delicate mission with which he was charged resulting in the overthrow of the cabal and rescuing the name of the American Negro soldier from the infamy and oblivious with which it was attempted to overwhelm it-Haltimore (Md.) Daily Herald. We doubt very much the truth of the above story from the fact that all of the ranking officers of colored regiments were white, and to traduce the record of the colored soldier would be a reflection on their own record. Does any one think for a minute that Price $1.50 Per Year Col Haywood, of the Fifteenth New York would stand for any man or set of men to detract from the bravery and manhood—on or off the field, of his regiment? No, not for a minute, nor would the loyal whites of the great state of New York stand for it. We think the above bunk is being circulated to detract attention from the real mission of the gentleman from Tuskegee, which has been held in the columns of all of the race papers in this country. It is a play to the gallery to "square" Mr. Moton with the race. LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS The play, "In Allah's Garden, written by Mrs. Eunice Diemer Jackson, which was put on at Bethel A. M. E. church, was a decided success. A large crowd attended. Mrs. Lora white Odden was a visitor last Friday, the guest of Mrs. Vina Broadus.
