Topeka Plaindealer SEES HOPE FOR SOLDIERS CONVICTED IN HOUSTON RIOT Judge Pollock Heard Petition for Writ of Haebeas Corpus, June 13, Decision Expected Soon --- Twenty-First Year. No. 24. SEES HOPE FOR SOLDIER CONVICTED IN Judge Pollock Heard Writ of Haebeas Con Decision Expect The following appeared in the Heavenworth Times, Friday morning, June 13th under glaring headlines: "At 10 o'clock this morning in Kansas City, Kansas, Judge John C. Pollock of the United States District court will hear the petition for a writ of heabees corpus in the case of William Frasier and forty others, colored soldiers, generally referred to as the Houston rioters, who are now imprisoned in the Federal penitentiary, "The Houston riot caused manhole wide interest. It will be remembered that thirteen of the colored soldiers were executed. Court martial proceedings resulted in prison sentences for William Frazier and the others. Although the hearing will be held this morning, no decision is expected in the case before September 1 or the latter part of August at the earliest. Among exhibits offered by the attorneys, T. W. Bell, who has been employed by the Kansas Defense Society, are three bound volumes of the court martial proceedings. A review of the exhibit will require much time and decided. Judge Pollack begins a two months' vacation about the first of next week. No decision is expected until his return. Court Martial not Legally Oraignized. "The Leavenworth attorney says he is confident the Houston rioters will be released. The case is a record one, having no parallel. Among other things he expects to show that the court martial, which sentenced the men, was never legally organized. "On the 31st day of April, 1915, Judge Pollock ordered that a leave be granted to amend the petition and that the petitioners amend their application for the writ of habeas corpus by filing as exhibits to said petition, the record of the court martial proceedings contained in three bound volumes and that counsel for the petitioners deliver to the district attorney copies of said exhibits, and that this case be continued for further hearing as may be ordered by the court. "The proceedings in these three volumes describe action taken by a general court martial that was appointed to meet Thursday, November 1, 1917, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The court martial convened at Port Sam Houston, Tex., by special order from army headquarters of the Southern Department." The petition was presented and argued before Judge Pollock at time set and was ably handled. The attorneys did not overlook the most minute detail, thus giving no grounds for a possible error, and it is believed by all that Judge Pollock will render a decision that will open the way to speedy success. As we have stated on previous occasions, the Defense Society needs funds with which to push this matter to a successful conclusion and it is hoped that every race loving man, woman and child will contribute to this worthy cause. ASK PROTECTION FOR NEGRO RAILWAY EMPLOYEES John R. Shultz, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has made a letter to the Director General of the U. S. Railroad Administration, Walker D. Hines, calling attention to the resignation of an entire dining car crew because they could not obtain protection in the performance of their duty, being colored. The letter was in part. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in receipt of a communication stating that the dining car crew doing service on dining car 3816 of the New Orleans Meridian line, resigned their positions because it was impossible for them to obtain protection, the dining car conductor having failed to protect a colored waiter from an assault by a white flagman which resulted in the waiters' dept. "Both the train conductor and the flagman are under the jurisdiction of the United States Railroad Administration. The resignation of the employees of the U. S. Railroad Administration, on the ground that they cannot obtain protection because of their color, would seem to merit investigation of those officials of the U. S. Railroad Administration who decline to afford their protection in the performance of their duty. This occurred June 6th." injured occurred John May we hear from you what steps have been taken to investigate this situation and to protect colored dining car crew on the New Orleans Meridian Line?" SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION AND DISTRICT CONFERENCE Lawrence, June 14—The District Conference, Sunday School Convention and Christian Endeavor League of the Topeka District, of the Kansas Annual Conference, A. M. E. church which was held at St. James A. M. E. church, N. Lawrence, June 11-13 inclusive was a fine success. No.24. It was generally conceded that this was the best session ever held in the history of the district. The many papers read and discussed were rich, rare and interesting. The attendance was good. The reception given by the pastor and congregation was a grand affair, the program was a literary treat. Brothers Snell and Hooker were elected lay delegates to the Annual Conference. Prof. H. H. Wade, district superintendent of the Sunday school department, who has served for a number of years, offered his resignation at this session, to the regret of all the ministers and delegates Mrs. Mollie Midridge Seabron, of Junction City, was elected to succeed Prof. Wade. Mrs. Clara Alexander was elected superintendent of the Allen League department Presiding Elder J. T. Smith of the Kansas City district. Rev. Ransom, of Wichita; Rev. T. W. Greene, Jr., of Parsons; Rev. J. C. C. Owens, of Leavenworth; Rev. Lee and Jackson, pastors of Missionary Baptist churches, Lawrence; Rev. S. A. Williams, pastor Baptist church, Ottawa and Editor Nick Chiles, of the Topeka Plainndeler were welcome visitors. Rev. Warren, of Junction City; Rev. Johnson, of Paola; Rev. Sanders of Ottawa, delivered sermons which were enjoyed by all who heard them. Rev. Harris, presiding elder was all smiles, when $26.99 was paid him above the expenses of the Convention. Rev. Jelzit and congregation deserve special mention for the hospitality shown us. A. J. SANDERS, Reporter. HON. NICK CHILES ADDRESSES LARGE GATHERING IN 8T. JOE. Missourians Were Delighted by Kansas Editor—Other Notes. In St. Joseph, Mo., Sunday night I had the pleasure of attending a meeting addressed by the "boss" of this paper, who is also founder and president of the Kansas Defense Society. The Francis Street Baptist church of which the Rev. G. L. Prince is pastor, opened its doors to Mr. Chiles and a large, appreciative audience greeted the distinguished Kansas newspaper man who talked for nearly two hours on "Race Loyalty and the Houston, Texas Riot." The sneaker was frequently intertwined by hearty applause as he drove home the many facts in his discourse. He made an urgent appeal to the members of his race to purchase homes, establish business enterprises and become more closely united. Mr. Chiles then told of the execution of the thirteen soldiers and 41 others who were imprisoned for life without a fair trial on a charge of participating in a riot at Houston, Tex. in which some fifty or more civilians were killed and wounded. From this not grew the idea of organizing the Kansas Defense Society, which he set out and organized with the aid of a few leading citizens of both races. The Society now has a membership of some ten thousand or more, which under his leadership is doing things for the race. The Society is indeed grateful for the nice sum contributed for the relief of those worthy soldier boys. Mr. L. R. Perry conducts a large second hand furniture store on North Third street. He is doing good business among both races. I visited the office of Dr. C. S. Wheatley at Fifth and Edmond streets. He is the leading chiropodist and foot expert of St. Joseph, having a large practice among both races. The Doctor is assisted by his two daughters. The Y W C. A. had an informal opening at their rooms in Dr. Carrillon's nice building, corner of Tenth and Francis streets. Sunday afternoon. About four hundred people visited and inspected the rooms. Music was furnished during the afternoon. Details next week. WESTERN NEGRO PRESS ASS'N TO MEET IN KANSAS CITY. Newspaper Men Will Meet With the Oklahoma Boosters. To Members of the Western Negro Press Association, and to all other newspaper and magazine representatives, Greeting: By the authoritiesvested in me as president of the Western Negro Press Association, I hereby call upon you to consent in the fifteenth annual session of said association in the Masonite Temple, 18th and Woodland streets, Kenang City Mo., July 25 and 26, 1919, for the purpose of transacting all business of the association that may be brought before the convention and taking up and discussing imper TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 20, 1919. tant public questions affecting the interests and welfare of the race in the United States of America. I warnestly urge all newspaper and magazine owners, whether members of the association or not, to send representatives to this meeting, which will be one of the most interesting in the history of the association. Never before have the opportunities seemed so bright for the colored newspaper man as now; and never before have the attending responsibilities been so pronounced as those now developing upon us. It is for the colored press to blaze the way for the race through the velled future of a great reconstruction period, and to meet these grave responsibilities, to act wisely and timely, is one of the big problems we will attempt to solve at this meeting. Another very interesting feature of this meeting will be the entertainment in Kansas City on the 24th and 25th of July of the Oklahoma Boosters, a large party of race people who will travel in autos from Tulsa, Okla. via Winfield, Wichita, Newton and Topeka to Kansas City. The press boss have been invited to make the entire trip with the party and doubtless many of them will accept the invitation. Allow me to urge every colored publication owner to send representatives to this meeting: A. J. SMITHERMAN, Pres. Tulsa, Okla. J. D. COOK, Secretary, Gary, Indiana. ORGANIZED LABOR WILL ADMIT BLACKS Colored Americans Will be Given a Fair Chance to Earn a Living Wage The following is the fairest and best editorial on the race question we have ever read in Senator Capper's Topkea Daily Capital, and we have been reading that paper for years. Usually editorials on this subject are half-hearted, showing between the lines the cloven hoof of the black man's greatest enemy in this socalled land of the free, race prejudice. But labor has thrown wide open her doors to America's most loyal citizen, and the Capital puts a stamp of approval on the action of that body in terms that ring with true manhood, free from that ducking, dodging manner heretofore employed by that paper when attempting to say something commendable of the black race. This move by organized labor comes as a second Emancipation Proclamation to the colored race, and will prove a big help to the white man who is compelled to toll for his bread. In a bold, manly editorial on the matter, the Topeka Daily Capital says: "One of the hopeful signs of the times so far as the Negroes of the United States are concerned, is the action taken by the American Federation of Labor admitting Negroes to the ranks of organized labor on equal terms with the white members. Herefore organized labor has been inclined to take an unfriendly attitude toward the black workers. The bars have generally been put up against them. This almost forced the Negro worker to become a "scab." He could not get work as a union man and he had to forfeit." "If the unions of the country admit Negro workers to membership it will do more than anything that has ever been done to open the doors of opportunity to the Negro race. More than that it will have a tremendous influence in stopping lynchings, for the white members of the labor unions will be bound to do what they can to see that justice is done the Negro members of the unions. "The treatment of the Negro in the United States has been something of which every white man ought to be ashamed. The ancestors of the American Negro were dragged from their native wilds, crowded into horrible slave ships treated with unspeakable cruelty and sold as slaves to masters professing to be Christians. "For more than two hundred years they and their descendants were held in bondage in a country which boasted of its freedom and democracy, robbed of their sold, sold as if they were dumb brutes, taught to believe that virtue among slaves was a fault, hunted down with bloodhounds if they sought for freedom, whipped without mercy if they were recaptured. "When freedom came to them by the fortune of war and they were invested with the right of suffrage, they were blamed because they did not use wisely in all cases the privileges of citizenship, created by their white employers, murdered for trivial offenses and denied the protection of the courts, discriminated against in the matter of educational opportunities and forced to pay first-class fare for riding in third-class cars. With the doors of opportunity shut in their faces they were blamed because they did not mote greater progress. "In spite of the treatment they have received at the hands of the government, state and national, the Negroes have always been loyal to the flag and with uncomplaining cheerfulness have responded to the call for men to fight our battles. With valor unsurpassed they fought in the trenches and machine gun- fested woods of France and with their blood wrote on the pages of history a record of imperishable glory "Black men do not swell the ranks of the I. W. W., the Dolshevists or the anarchists, altho if there are any people in this country who would be justified in joining such organizations it would be the Negro race. They deserve sympathy and fair treatment which up till now they have received in scant measure. It is a hopeful sign that the labor unions seem to be read at last to open to the black man the door of opportunity. "There is a manifest inconsistency in proclaiming that we are going to spread democracy and freedom to the uttermost parts of the earth when we deny ten million citizens of the United States equal rights, equal protection by the courts and equal opportunity to earn an honest living." GIRLS FORM CLUB WHICH WILL BECOME THEIR OWN Y. W. C. A. A club for young colored women, which will eventually become a Y. will eventually become a colored Y. W. C. A., it is hoped by the founders, has been organized by Miss Vera Pratt, of Washburn college, and ten young colored women who are students at the college. Miss Pratt is a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet at Washburn, and had upon her social service committee the ten young colored women attending college. During the winter, the colored girls organized very successfully into a social service club. With the help of the college girls, Miss Pratt gave a party for high school colored girls, Fridays afternoon, at the rooms of the Colored Federation of clubs, at the corner of 11th and Quincy streets, and a similar club was formed. The club has a board of patronesses of four influential colored women of the city, Mrs. W. I. Jamison, Mrs. Cyrene Galne, Mrs. G. W. Hamilton, and Mrs. I. A. Graham. Two rooms of the club house have been given to the girls, to be fitted into club rooms. This is the only club of its kind that has ever been organized among the colored high school girls, as was the club in the college the first of its kind. Officers of the club were elected Friday, with Miss Alberta Holder, who is attending Washburn, as president; Miss Anna Griffith, vice president; Miss Marguerite Oden, secretary; Miss Etta Parker is assistant secretary, white Miss Dorothy Page, a Washburn student, is treasurer. MR. WILLIAM H. NOLEN. Kansas City Business Man Is Making Commendable Strides. To meet a colored man in Kansas City, Mo., who is doing business, real business, makes one feel good all over, especially one who is investing money in real estate, a proposition that counts. Mr. Nolan came to Kansas City some years ago with no ready cash, but full of pluck and energy and a determination to win in the struggle for a foothold in the world. He filled the position of head waiter in some of the leading hotels of Kansas City at that time, but after saving a few dollars he THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM Beautiful Residence of Mr. William H. Nolen, Kansas City, Mo. launched in business for himself at his present location, 1706 E. 12th street, one of the best earlier shops, pool hall, cigars tobacco and soft drink resorts in Kansas City. Here you find an organization known as the "Gentleman's Whistle" club. Mr. Nolen is very popular with everybody from the fact that he treats everybody in his place of business on the same terms of equality. Service is what he gives and requires of his seven or eight employees. His place is always crowded. Mr. Nolen recently purchased a fine home at a cost of a few thousand dollars. It is a seven room modern brick structure located at 611 Jefferson street. The lot is 125 feet deep with a forty foot front. This home is for the pleasure and comfort of Mr. Nolen's devoted wife. He also has a seven passenger auto for their pleasure and comfort. His business place is a fifty foot front. It is a pleasure to meet and know Mr. Nolen, a gentleman who has not only race pride but a public spirited man who believes in malling Kansas City grow and prosper. He stands ready to take hold of any worthy enterprise where men mean business. 805TH INFANTRY TO TOBEWELCOMEHOME According to a report from the War Department, the 805th Pioneer Inf., which was organized at Camp Funston and contains 500 Kansas boys is due to arrive at New York from Brest, France, on Thursday, June 26th.
