P Dramatic Scene Before Judge Smith---Both Fugitive he Would a Man's Chance in MAN WHO KILLS MEMBERS OF LONGVIEW. TEXAS MOB SEEKS PROTECTION IN KANSAS President Kansas Defense Society Comes to Dr. C. P. Davis's Rescue. Dramatic Scene Before Gov. Allen and Judge Smith---Both Assured the Fugitive he Would Be Given a Man's Chance in Kansas. "They were coming with torches and oil and a rope," said the man. When the leaders of the mob were a short distance from his home Dr. Davis says he opened fire with a revolver. Four men, he told the governor, were killed. Then the mob drew back. This gave Doctor Davis an opportunity to escape with his family. Bloodhounds Were Neer. "We waded the river," he said today—"back and forth to throw that mob off our trial. Sometimes the bloodhounds were within fifty feet of me. Conditions Around Topeka and the great State of Kansas was stirred as never before or since the days of old John Brown, of Harper's Perry fame, when Dr. C. P. Davis of Longsley, Tox, who had fled from the state that General Sherman once said if it was left to him to choose between two places in which to duell, Texas or hell, he would much prefer the latter, arrived in Topeka. From the treatment the colored race is receiving at the hands of the "crackers" who are backed by the lawmakers as well as those entrusted to enforce the laws bears out the old General's statement. Dr Davis had in view "Bleeding Kansas" and her struggle for the freedom of mankind and set his face to ward the land of fair play and justice to all mankind. He knew that in Topeka dwelled a loyal class of white and eloquent people as well as a governor, state county and city officials who would see to it that no harm would be done him. Dr Davis was informed to see the editor of The Plaindealer who is also president of the Kansas Defense Society. He called at our home on Sunday morning. We were out of town and met the Doctor Monday morning and after hearing his story that afternoon we went to the governor's office, where we took the matter up with Judge Smith, parole officer who passes on all requisitions before the governor takes any action The Doctor related the story of the trouble, the cause and condition with tears at times streaming down his cheeks. The Judge assured us that everything would be carefully considered and not to worry. Governor Allen was out of the city and when he returned the next day a delegation of leading colored citizens representing every section of Kansas called on Governor who had Dr. Davis relate the story. The Governor then succeeded that he put himself into the custody of the sheriff and all would be well. The Doctor was worrying about his family and said he would like to go to Boston where they had gone, so he left Toneks in an automobile driven by a recently returned soldier without saving anything to anyone, which was the same thing to do and we hope he is now in the old State of Massachusetts, where he will also be safe from the illegal and unlawful panes issued by a one sided state government whose autocratic powers are always crushing the progressive colored Americans. We are delighted that the colored people of Longview, Texas stood up for their rights. We need just two thousand leaders equally divided up in those sections of the United States where this lawless element are allowed by the officers of the law to override everything that is decent and right when it comes to dealing with the colored race. If the decent whites want the law equally enforced, let them place colored men in official positions. Sheriff, constables and deputies should be parceled out according to population. As a rule, Southern white officials are ignorant as well as vicious and prey upon the weak. We have contended all along that the Southern white man is a big coward from the fact that it takes a mob of hundreds to subdue, outrage or murder one colored man. Dr. Davis and his associates took a small pistol and drove the cowards back, wounding several and made their escape. Now they have the audacity to want them arrested and brought back to be lynched or burned at the stake. No! Noll never will any civilized state like Kansas ever give up a human being to such people who have no more regard for human rights than the kaiser and his butchers who murdered women and babies. Part of these United States: Texas, Georgia, Alabama and a few others ought to be placed under martial law. The white people of these states are as much unfit to govern the people as the inhabitants of the First Islands. The constitution should be so amended that a state allowing such outrages should be put under martial law. These same hell hounds are supporting two families, one colored and one white and yet they have not the sense to quit outraging their own flesh and blood. One-third of the South is amalgamated—plenty of white people with colored blood and visas versus. We want to see the colored people stand up for their rights everywhere. Just think of it, right under the shadow of the dome of the Nation's Capitol, race riots are allowed to go on for several days in plain view of the President members of congress and the may and war department who have just finished fighting a world war and put out of commission the greatest fighting machine the world has ever known, and now think, they cannot stop a lot or stop the many outrages that are breaking out in different sections of the country against the colored people. If the law continues to be lax there will be nothing left for the progressive, fair minded white and colored people to do but follow the method laid down in Washington and Dr. Davis in Texas. If the colored people as a whole would have backed Dr. Davis up he would not have had to fire for his life, but the people of Longfellow would have been taught another lesson. White people all over the nation are resorting to anything to secure their rights, why not the colored man? The colored man has been loyal. He could dynamite; he could have destroyed the whole town of Longview by fire; he could destroy any and all of the principal towns in the South if he so desired when these mobs break out and officers refuse to give protection. The colored people are loyal to their government and don't resort to these things. Now let all the good, Christian white people join with the blacks and make America a better and fit place in which to live. Now let it be known from now on henceforth and forever, that the colored people are not going to stand for insults and not resent them. DR. DAVIS TELLS GCVERNOR | THE STORY OF HIS FLIGHT He Admits Shooting Into Mob and Killing Four—Dramatic Scene at Capitol—Delegation Accompanies Davis to Governor. Fleeing from a Longview, Texas mob and with a bounty of $7,500 on his head, Dr. C. P. Davis, a Negro, today surrendered himself to Governor Allen. The Negro—wealthy and graduate of Harvard university—fled to Kansas for protection from the town which was placed under martial law following a race riot. Doctor Davis told a dramatic story to Governor Allen today and admitted that he shot into a mob and killed four men in defense of his home and his family. Details of the night of horror in the Texas town were related to Governor Allen. Doctor Davis told the Kansas Governor how he escaped with his family in a motor car and of hours in the river while he mob searched for the Negroes with bloodhounds. A large delegation of Topeka Negroes, headed by Nick Chiles, president of the Kansas Defense society, accompanied Dr. Davis to the governor's office. Governor Allen said he had no right to accept the Negro's surrender. He directed the delegation to Sheriff Hugh Larkimer. Under this procedure a full hearing of the case may be had before Governor Allen when the state of Texas seeks to extradite the man. Was a Dramatic Scene. Few more dramatic scenes have been enacted in the state house than that which surrounded the twenty-minutes conference in Governor Allen's office. The Negro fugitive went into details concerning the Longview rioting. "I protested when one of my people was mobbed," said Dr. Davis. This action aroused race feeling in the town. The fugitive became the principal in a drive on the Negro settlement of the town. "Six strong white men came to my home to whip my niece," the Doctor said. "They charged her with insolence toward her employer. She had already been beaten once. I drew a revolver and protected her." Then the mob sought to destroy Dr. Davis's property. They cut the tires on his automobiles. When night came a mob formed and the whites prepared to storm the Negro's home. Bloodhounds Were Near: "I knew of just two states that TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 25. 1919. were truly dear," continued the fugitive—"Massachusetts, where I was educated—and Kansas." Dr. Davis told Governor Allen he had sent his wife, daughter annd niece to Massachusetts. The center of the race riot came to Kansas to surrender to the state's executive. At South Coffeyville, Okla., several days ago, Dr. Davis was arrested by a peace officer. He was released when he gave a $1,500 cash bond State and local departments of government in Texas have offered a reward of $7,500 for arrest of the Negro Demands for extradition of Dr. Davis are expected from Texas as soon as officials of that state know the man is in this state. Dr. Davis appealed to Governor Allen for protection. He said that removal to Texas meant just one thing—mob violence. Under the action of the Kansas governor today, it will be possible to hold a full and complete hearing as to the merits of the case. The town of Longview was under marital law two days following the rioting. Antagonized White Business Men. According to the story which Dr. Davis told in Topokia today, he aroused race feeling in the Longview district when he organized the Negro cotton planters. Thus his organization the Negroes sent their cotton direct to Galveston and saved the middleman profit of local dealers. Dr. Davis also organized cooperative Negro stores which permitted Negroes in the district to buy merchandise at prices below those quoted by local dealers. During the war period, Dr. Davis said, he was called upon by committees which told him the amount of bonds he must buy. He said he bought a total of $10,000 worth of government securities. He declared that when he had from Longview he had a deposit of $11,000 in a local bank, as well as property and securities worth several thousand dollars. He asked Governor Allen to arrange for the protection of this property. Dr. Davis declared he did not dare return to Texas in the face of the race feeling which exists—From The Tonaka Daily State Journal, Monday evening July 21. Dr. Davis was not detained in Tonaka by the sheriff but was permitted to go his way and The Plainlander assures his friends in Texas that they will hear from him shortly in a state like Kansas, where he will be protected. BALTIMORE BLACKS ARE DOING SOME GREAT THINGS. Home of W. Samson Brooks. Next A. M. E. Bishop is Alive to Best Interest of the Race. Baltimore, July 24.—Leading citizens here are behind a movement to have Mayor Broening appoint a colord member of the school board. Bishon John Hurst, of the A. M. E. church, and Carl J. Murphy, managing editor of the Afro-American, had an interview with the mayor on Thursday of last week, and strongly urged the necessity for such an appointment. The mayor, who is a Republican, has said that a new building is needed for the colored High school and that the buildings of other schools should be remainted and repaired. Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of Bethel church, returned from a far Western trip a few days ago, remaining until Tuesday of this week. He says that the news of the success of Bethel church in liquidating its mortgage debt of $74,000 was known all over the country. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Weaver, City Councilman Warner T. McGuinn and John H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro American, spent a brief vacation at Sea Isle, N. J. Harry T. Pratt and J. Clarence Chambers, teachers in the city schools, are taking courses at the summer school of Columbia University, New York. Dr. S. H. Hughes, Dr. Hugh Price Hughes, James Hunter and Albert S. Peek were recent visitors at Atlantic City and Cape May. The War Community club observed its first anniversary Sunday. Over 80,000 colored soldiers have visited there.

Evans. grand master for Maryland, delivered an address. Hold Policeman for Shooting Colored Chauffeur. Policeman W. A. Peppersack shot a colored chauffeur a few weeks ago, and now he has been presented by the grand jury for alleged murderous assault. The chauffeur was driving his car on the wrong side of the street, due to repairs being made on the other side when the policeman halted him. The chauffeur kept on, stopping at his garage. The policeman when he caught up with him angrily demanded an explanation. The chauffeur handed him his operators card, which Peppersack tore into bits and throw into the street he then started to arrest he man. The latter asked to be allowed to telephone, and the policeman pulled his "blackjacket" struck at the man who warded off the bow. Peppersack pulled his revolver and shot the man The officer prefaced charges against the man alleging that he resisted arrest and violated the trade court. The policeman's arrest then followed. He was before the police board Tuesday on charges of alleged conduct uncoming an officer. At Frederick Md. Geo, A Waltys was reected grand clinicuor of the Maryland Knights of Pathias of the annual session of the Maryland Grand Lodge of the order.

Peace and Harmony Prevail District Grand Lodge No 17, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Kansas and Jurisdiction met in its thirty-sixth annual session at Coffeyville last week as did also the District Grand Lodge, Household of Ruth. The sessions were held at the Odd Fellows hall on Union avenue, and the Household in the old Foster Williams building. The reports of the various departments showed the Grand Lodge officers were on the alert and attending strictly to business. The Endowment department where lies the heart of the members, showed all death claims paid and over $9,000.00 in the bank drawing four per cent. Interest. The Burial department organized about two years ago started without a dollar, showed all claims paid and money in the treasury. W. W. Shobe and P. I. Bassett are the fathers of this new move. Grand Secretary Chas Childs, deserves great credit for efficiency displayed in his department. When he took hold there was a deficiency of over $2,000 in outstanding claims. He has so managed that the District Treasurer had something like five hundred dollars on hand and all bills paid. He spurred the lodge up to paying in promptly what they owed. They increased the death benefits from $100 to $125 to take effect Oct. 1, 1919, without increasing the dues. The Grand Lodge showed is confidence in its officers by re-electing the following officers: District Grand Master—M. L. Butler, 1404 Crawford Ave, Parsons, Kansas District Deputy Grand Master—E. E.

The District Grand Lodge Household of Ruth held one of the finest sessions in history of the order. District Most Noble Governoress Mrs. Henrietta Harper took hold of the order when everything was in chaos. Endowment department and others were in bad shape. Through her efforts and with the assistance of the grand officers all claims have been settled and they have sufficient cash in all departments to withstand any kind of crisis. Greetings were exchanged between the two bodies assuring continued JOHN H. MR. CHAS. CHILDS, Who Was Elected District Grand Secretary for the Fifth Time. Locality Resolutions of thanks were tendered the citizens of Coffeyville and the local lodges for the kind hospitality extended them while in the city. The following are the officers for the ensuing year: District Grand M. N. G.—Mrs. Henrietta Harper, Wichita, Kansas. District Grand R. N. G.—Mrs. Letitia Carter, Kansas City, Mo. District Grand W. R.—Mrs. Luella Greene, Kansas City, Kansas. District Grand W. T.-Mrs. Cora Yeager, Lawrence, Kansas District Grand W. B.—Mrs. Anna Daniels, Parsons, Kansas. District Grand W. R. of End.—Mrs. Beatrice Childs, Wichita, Kansas. District Grand W. T. of End.—Mrs. Rosie Jackson, Topeka, Kansas. The memorial services were held in the A. M. E. church on Wednesday evening and were very impressive. Both lodges paid a high tribute of respect to their departed dead, there being over sixty who had answered the last summons during the past two years. The installation of officers was held in Odd Follows' hall on Thursday evening. The colored people of Coffeyville are certainly kind and courteous, and did everything to make it pleasant for the visitors. Past Deputy Grand Master T. B. Watkins of Missouri, was guest of the Grand Lodge and raised $90 for the Dr. Bundy defense fund. The welcome addresses on behalf of the lodges and city were listened to and heartily received at the A. M. E. church. The major sent his proxy, Attorney Clapp, who made a nice speech from the end of his lips, after which he grabbed his hat and rushed out hurriedly without offering an excuse. He is young and has something to learn before he dies and as he plods down life's rugged path will someday ask the colored people for their help and support. This youngster thought this being colored people he could use them as common, ordinary ignorant folks, but in that audience were men and women who were his intellectual masters. He was censured to the very extent that they would not care to ever see Mr. Clapp again would he to suffer the torrences of the damned. The mayor should have sequestered someone who had respect for their home training if they possessed none for the people to whom they were to address. The next place of meeting will be Omaha, Nehr., in 1920. The Misses Counts gave a 9 o'clock breakfast in honor of Mrs. Honrietta Harper, grand noble governess of the Household of Ruth at their home in Coffeyville, Thursday morning of last week. Those present were: Mrs. Carter, Kansas City, vice-noble governess and Nick Chiles, editor of The Topeka Plaindealer. Fried chicken was no object. Five courses were served and enjoyed. --- We are proud to note that our friends, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hunnigan have opened a nice little grocery store at 5046 E. Fifth street, Coffeyville, which is one of the best stores in that section. This young married couple are doing things up-to-date. Mr. Hunnigan is clerk and tailor at the Palace Clothing Co., one of the best stores in the state. The owner of the Palace who is retiring says he will back Mr. Hunnigan for ten thousand dollars if he will find the place to open up a clothing store. Keep on boy. The Kansas Defense Society needs your help in the work undertaken and you should not hesitate to donate funds to further this worthy cause. Price $1.50 Per Year THE EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK Interesting Jots Concerning People Prominent in the Affairs of Kansas. Mayor Humphrey, of Hutchinson, is all in a class by himself when it comes to a white man addressing a colored audience. He is the first one we ever hear use the expression: "We people." The usual and favorite expression of the white man is, "you people." Mayor Humphrey says the salvation of any people lies in their own efforts to shape their destiny for better or for worse. He said that he felt much encouraged at the wonderful progress made in the race and that we must stand up for all that is good. Efficiency and ability will bring any race up and compel others to follow and respect their wishes, he declared. Mr. Humphrey is serving Hutchinson as mayor for the first time and is making the town one of the best the city ever had and the people are proud of him. He is a big-hearted Christian gentleman and his welcome to the Kulahls and Daughters of Tabor at their annual session was a master piece. It was not his purpose to use a lot of meaningless words, but spoke from his heart. The Mayor referred to matters of importance and used the expression, "We people" must do this or that as it is our duty; not one time did he say "you people," as does the ninth white man out of every ten on such occasions. He endowed himself in the hearts of those who heard him. If the Democratic party could produce ten per cent of as fine men as Mayor Humphrey, they would always be in power. The Mayor said he believes in brain and ability and is not using hatred or prejudice to further his interest. He is one of the officers of one of the largest salt plants in Hutchinson and a Virginian by birth. We hope he will continue to preach the doctrine of Americanism to the white race, the colored people are one hundred per cent. American. We note with deep sorrow the death of Mrs. Melina Bettis, mother of Lieut. W. A. Bettis, editor of The Wichita Protest, which occurred in that city several days ago. Deceased was seventy-two years of age at the time of her passing. She was a conscientious and devoted Christian mother, loved and adored by friends and neighbors. Her demise is the passing of one of the old landmarks of Wichita. Mrs. Bettis did her part in making it possible for the present generation to enjoy the privileges and opportunities of Freedom in that city. She always stood up for the rights of her people and looked upon no one as her superior. The funeral was held from the A. M. E church, the Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor, officiating. Editor Bettis and his family have the sympathy of The Plaindealer and a host of friends throughout the state. We visited Parsons a few days ago and had the pleasure of organizing a local branch of the Kansas Defense Society at Brown Chapel, Eighteenth and Washington streets of which the REV. T. W. GREENE. Jr. Nov. T. W. Greene, Jr., is pastor. He is now serving his fifth year at Parsons and is one of the leading progressive ministers of the Kansas Conference. In fact the entire Conference idolizes him for the progressive and manly Christian spirit which he exerts every moment of his life. This church is about completed and is one of the finest in the A. M. E. connection. It cost something like twenty thousand dollars. It is modern and up-to-date. In our travels over the state we find the ministers and the laity saying that it is no more than right to recognize the young ministers of the connection by sending one to the next general conference at St. Louis, Mo., in 1920. They say that Rev. Greene is the man and it will almost be unanimous. Before entering the ministry he was a professional horsehoeer and was master of the trade. He has served at Oswego, Chetopa, Bassett and Emporia. Rev. Greene remodeled the church at Emporia at a cost of $1,000. When he took the church a Parsons there was an indebtedness of $600 which he paid off a short time after he was on the job. He has the assurance of ninety per cent. of the ministers and lay delegates at the annual Conference at Kansas City that they will vote and work to send him to the general conference at St. Louis, Mo., in 1920.

The meats, fish, etc., were delicious and with good, cold "almost" beer fresh from the keg, the meats were devoured without mercy, and those who desired pop, ginger ale, etc., did not have to go wanting for it too was there in abundance. It reminded us of the good old days when staff drawn from a keg had the "authority." The feature of the evening however was the music by Hamilton's Jazz band; Joe Tolbert, violin; Andrew Harris, clarionet; "Doc" Gilbert, cornet; Clinton Duke, piano and Preston Smith, traps. Each man knows his "stuff" and plays every note on the score from beginning to end. Clear and sweet as a bell the notes of the inspiring jazz thrilled those who heard them, and when they struck up "Home Sweet Home," the crowd clamored for just one more. It can be truthfully said that this organization is the equal of any in Topeka and the best of their race the city has ever boasted. PIERCE ADDITION NOTES.
