Wm. Trotter's Statement to the Congressional Committee Opened the Eyes of that Body to the New Era. No. 30. BUSINESS LEAGUE GREAT SUCCESS BUSINESS LEAGUE GREAT SUCCESS National Gathering of Business Men Shows Commendable Progress. The National Negro Business league held its annual session at St. Louis and we must say that it was one of the best sessions we ever attended and they are getting down to real business. They have formed a national employment bureau with headquarters at Washington, D. C., for the purpose of finding and creating positions for colored people. It will last 8,000 per year to operate this department. Three thousand dollars are subscribed at once. The different reports of the representatives and members of the different parts of the country show that the race is getting down to business by incorporating and organizing stock companies, banks, dry goods stores, etc. The convention was called to order by Mr. A. E. Malone, president of the local league, and president of of "Pore," a million dollar manufacturing concern. After reviewing the many successful business enterprises at Louis, he turned the gavel over to the president, Mr. J. C. Napier, who then called the convention in order for business. The reports and speeches were enforced by the many hundreds of people in attendance. The following officers were elected: J C Napler, honorary president; Charles Banks, Mound Bayon, Miss; Fred R Moore, New York; C. H Brooks, Philadelphia; John M. Wrigltz, Tapoka; Kan: Robert R. Church; Mercie vice-president; Emmett J Scott Washington, D. C., secretary; Charles H. Anderson, Jacksonville, Fla. treasurer; F. H Gilbert, Brook- lin, N. Y., registrar; R. H. Clay, Brooklyn, Va. and R. C. Houston, Kna- t City Kan., assistant registrar; H. Davis, Washington, D. C. official stenograner; Albion L. C. Tuskegee Institute, transportation agent; R. E. Jones, New Orlea- son chairman executive committee; T. J Illott, Muskogee, Okla.; W. T. Andrews Baltimore, Md.; Thos H. Hare, Memphis, Tenn.; Dr. J. R. Levy Logan H. Stewart, Evansville, Iol; A. F. Herndon, Atlanta Ga; J. Jackson, Philadelphia; H. A. South St Louis; Aaron E. Malone, St Louis; Berry O'Kelly, Method, N. C.; W J. Hale, Nashville, Tenn. members of the executive committee; R R Moton was elected president. Dr Moton has served as chairman of the executive committee of the league since the Chattanooga 1917 season, and brings to the league an influence which, joined to that of the officials, assures a strong and useful organization. St Louis certainly covered herself with glory in the dignified manner in which she entertained the visitors. There were automobile rides, proscenies and entertainments given in honor of the delegates Mr. and Mrs Malone entertained visitors in their wood garden and on two or three different occasions, assisted by the beautiful lady agents and representatives of that institution, held special entertainments. Poro College was the headquarters of the officers and visitors of the league. These two people are certainly leaders of the race and we believe that in Mrs Malone the Lord created a real angel, and it is our earnest prayer that she be kept to heaven without dying. --- While in St Louis we had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful brick mansion of Dr. and Mrs. F. T. Breedlove, 4011 Cook street. Mrs. Breedlove was formerly Miss Mabel Taylor of Leavenworth, Kansas. She was one of Kansas's best and noble young ladies, who graduated in pharmacy from Meharry College. She was one of the finest pharmacist and served at some of the best drug stores in the West. Afterwards she met married Dr Breedlove, who was at that time one of St. Louis' young struggling physicians and he soon proved himself to be a man who knew his profession and now he enjoys one of the best and most lucrative practices in St Louis. He and his most accomplished and beautiful wife are now touring in the East for the summer. They are well fixed for a rainy day and are now turning their attention in helping many deserving orphan and aged people. We enjoyed a two o'clock breakfast and everything was first-class from fried chickdown. The invited guests were: Lizzie Grant, one of St Louis' most accomplished widows. She is a chiropodist and serves nothing but the wealthiest people of that city, most of them being millionaires. It was certainly a source of pleasure to meet her to be in her company. --- We were proud to visit the under- taking establishment of A Russell, who is now dead, but the business is now carried on by his wife and sister Mrs A K Russell, who is a bea- ful maid, full of energy and push. She has practically grown up in the business and understands handling it almost as well as did her late business. COLORED WOMENS MOTOR CORPS The only colored women's motor corps in the world is that of the Hayward Unit, a branch of the National League for Women's Service in New York City. If you can imagine the feeling of a man in the desert, coming unexpectedly upon an oak, you will appreciate the surprise and joy of colored soldiers, lying wounded in New York hospitals, at sight of women of their own race to comfort and cheer them as they had so often seen their white brothers visited by other members of the League. While the work of the Hayword Unit may not be as extensive or as far reaching as that of other departments, in point of personal service and results accomplished it is excelled by none. "Ironwon Louisiana," lying on a cot in the big ward at Debarkation Hospital No 3, brightens visibly at the approach of Sergeant Pearl Murray, and when she mentions that "some of the boys are going up to see a ball game this afternoon", and asks him to join the party, his exclamation of pleasure sounds as though he had forgotten all about being sick. There is no reason why a colored boy should feel lonely or neglected in New York. And judging by the number who have been entertained by the motor corps, there exists only satisfaction and happy memories for the colored convalescent when he leaves for his home town. Of the hundred thousand men welcomed by the Hayward Unit, the majority are natives of Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee. Forty members of the motor corps devote a large part of their time to the soldiers With Captain Sadie Leavelle directing. Lt. Mae Kemp, Sergeants Murray and Anna Reid head the organization Three ambulances, two buses and a dozen cars, owned by members are used in the transportation service. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, a member of the National League, donated three motors for the use of the Haward Unit. Every day the trim khaki colored ambulances may be seen standing in front of hospital entrances ready for a load of convalescents to be taken to the races at Sheepshead of Jamaica, to a baseball game at the Polo Grounds, or on a "seeing New York tour" Chinatown, the Ghetto, Wall Street, Riveride Drive, and Coney Island are interesting sights for the boy who has never before crossed the Mason Dixon Line. There is no for of recreation that the colored boy enjoys more than to see the largest city in the world, and to have its wonders unimaginable upon it two painted Hospital No 5, Polyclinic, and the Messiah Home for shell shocked men, contribute hundreds of soldiers weekly) to these trips. Officials of the hospitals are pleased with the arrangement as an aid to speedy convalescence, they declare that with new thoughts to occupy the minds of the patients, their work is greatly facilitated. Also they are secure in the knowledge that their charges will have excellent care while enjoying the outings, that they will be brought back on time, and that there is no danger of infiltration. The Hayward Unit maintains headquarters at No 200 West 139th St. Comfortable rest rooms for reading, writing and relaxation are provided and a fine piano, player-plano, amicrola are placed at the disposal of visiting soldiers. Sunday picnics in the country are popular features of the work of the Unit, as are ministrel shows, parades and carnivals. But the greatest boom of all is an opportunity for self expression in music; the colored race of its little gathering for singing and might as well be deprived of food as playing musical instruments. Among those who have been entertained at the club house are members of the "60th colored regiment, commanded by its gallant deeds in France, and no little fame as the originators of "jazz" music. A Masourian, entrée for a ball game, said recently "Down South, we thought New Yorkers were cold indifferent folks, and that we'd just have to wait in misery for our discharges and a chance to get back home. I'll say the women of the flay-ward unit have been pretty nice to us, and when I get down home I'm going to tell them all about the good times we've had. The fellows didn't expect anything like this, and they are having the time of their lives. Whir, New York folks are just like home folks, after all" The activities of the motor corps are not confined to military operations, however. Civilian hospitals, orphanages and Old folk's homes come in for their just share of relief work. Old men and women, friendless and dispituted, are gladdened by a motor ride to and from church on Old Folks (colored) sends many to church through the efforts of the League. Four thousands orphans were recently entertained at an amusement park near the city; their day including the free distribution of ice cream candy and cakes. The unseen of motors and ambulances, the distribution of detachables and numerous small expenses are met by special contributions. Even the smallest amount of money can be stretched to bring happy hours to sufferers and the motor corps will be grateful for any aid, however modest. Imagine your own plight were you a helpless invalid, confined to the sickroom during all the gorious days of the summer. How wonderful it would be to be able, through TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 23. 1919. the courtesy of generous donors and the efforts of the Hayward Unit to drive through the country, weekly, enjoying the sight, sound and fragrance of nature's beauty. The motor corps, has proven its worth. Captain Leavelle is rewarded by the ability to look backward on the work done thus far and face the future styling: "The Hayward Unit, in brightening the path of the sick and unfortunate is attaining the utmost in personal service." MRS. MALONE'S ANNIVERSARY. St. Louis, Mo, Aug 11.—The birthday anniversary of Mrs Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro college, and one of the most noted women of the race was celebrated by the immediate friends and those connected with Poro College last Saturday in the shape of a number of surprises. Mrs. Malone lives in the hearts of the women off this country, because of the service she has rendered to the whole race. Commencing at the chapel services Saturday, and ending about 12:30 at night was just one long continuous surprise. At the devotional services at 8 o'clock which are held every morning before commencing work, Mrs A. H. Stevely, representing the employees, congratulated Mrs. Malone on her anniversary, and upon the good she had accomplished for the race, and presented a large bouquet of flowers. Remarks were made by Gal. two Editor Nick Chiles of the Topeka Plaindealer. Getting over the surprise, Mrs Malone expressed thanks, and said that it had been her alm to keep secret her birthday. A surprise birthday dinner was given at the home of Secretary Jones, of the Y. M. C. A., which was followed by a picnic. At the home, Mr. Malone had caused to be placed in an Ampleco, the baby grand Knabe piano, which he presented to his wife, and it was followed by a dinner party, composed of Miss Allie Simms, Mesdames Mable Breedlove, Fannie P. Peck, Ray Tyler, Victoria Turner, Jennie Chaney, Latré F. Christiaan, Mary J. Dixon, Willie McAlister, Mary J. Dreer, Minnie Turner and Annie M. Malone. Furber and Katherine Sunday morning came a surprise in the arrival of Mrs Malone's sister and her husband. John Merrick Dead Durham, North Carolina—One of the most successful business men in the race, John Merrick, president and founder of the North Carolina Mutual Life insurance Company, perhaps the wealthiest and largest insurance company in America, died at his home today after a long illness. yesterday afterward. In many respects Mr. Merrick was a remarkable man. He was a barber but twenty years ago, he laid down his razor and clippers, rented a small room for $200 a month, with one clerk launched the great racial enterprise. Right by his side in developing the work have been C. C. Spauling, and Dr. A. M Moore. The company is now operating in eleven states. At the anniversary held in July, Mr. Merrick after speaking of the work done in twenty years, said that he felt that he would have to go, and was perfectly willing to go if those in charge would keep up the company, and in so doing provide for the unfortunate, and help to give the user a start. race a hurt. The funeral was held Friday from White Rock Baptist church of which he was a member. HARRISONVILLE, MO.

Mr. Horace Martin of Lexington, Mo. came up to be present at the reception given for the soldier boys and is spending a few days with his parents and friends. The citizens of Harrisonville, gave the soldier boys a grand reception Friday eve on the Davidson lawn.

FRANK WILSON The memorial services held at Pleasant Green Baptist church, Rev. Geo. McNeal, pastor, August 17th in honor of the late Rev. Frank Wilson, chief grand mentor of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Kansas and Nebraska Jurisdiction and grand master of the Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons, was witnessed by over 2,000 people. There never was such an honor paid a citizen, a minister, a statesman, a Christian gentleman and lodge man as was paid this illustrious Sir Knight. He had merited all the honors that were paid him and more besides Representatives from almost every Tabernacle, Temple and Tent in the jurisdiction were present to attend the funeral and pay the respect to their chief. The International Grand Chief Mentor, S. H. Jordan was absent on account of illness, but was represented by Sir G. H. Evans, of Little Rock, Ark. Chief Grand Mentor Sir Dr. Neal, of the Oklahoma Jurisdiction and Prof. A. R. Chinn, Chief Grand Mentor of Missouri, were present to pay glowing respect to the work of the late Chief. The entire auditorium was used for the Knights and Daughters, York Masons and the Hoornee of Jertcho. The Sir Knights and Daughters mee at the Taborian hall at 4 o'clock and proceeded to march to the home of the nephew of the Chief, Dr. John Wilson, Tenth and Everett. The procession was headed by two of Kansas City's best bands, who played the funeral drge from the house to the church. It was followed by the grand lodge of York Rite Masons, the Palatine Guards of Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City, and the grand officers of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of the Kansas and Nebraska Jurisdiction in automobiles. As the cortege neared the church with the solmn dirge of the bands, the many Knights and Daughters were lined up, gowned in black dresses, long black veils edged in white touching the ground and the Hearlines of Jericho gowned in black with long white veils. The Palatine Guards and the Sir Knights with drawn swords and bowed heads, opened ranks stood attention while the cortege passed the church in a procession about three blocks long. The remains were taken into the church, headed by the minister, followed by the mourners and members of the order. The Pleasant Green choir under the direction of Mma. Bartelle, sang some beautiful anthems after which the following, Rev. T. A. Bowers, pastor of Lane Chapel, C. M. E. church, Topeka, paid a high tribute to the great work of the departed Knight and used the last words of the late Sir Knight Wilson, who said to him before he was taken to the hospital, that he had fought a good fight. Among the many things that Rev. Howers said was that he had lived a good life and it was no trouble for him to die. Sir A. F. Wilson sang the beautiful Prayer," which created a great emotion. The Rev. James Arthur Hamlett, editor of the Christian Index came all the way from Chicago to pay homage to this illustrous departed Sir Knight.

Sir Frank Wilson, who had filled that office with signal credit for twenty-eight years. After the sermon the remains were viewed by several thousand. Undertakers Nathan Thatcher, of Kansas City and Stonestreet and Son, of Topeka, had charge of the body. The members of the order then filed out and formed the line and the casket was bourn on the shoulders of the valiant Knights for three blocks to the Thatcher undertaking parlor where the body laid in repose until Monday morning, as they do not bury in Kansas City on Sunday. On Monday morning the grand lodge officer of the York Rite Masons and the grand officers of the York Rite Masons and the grand officers of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor assembled at the Thatcher funeral parlor and escorted the remains to Woodfawn cemetery, where the Chief was buried with the York Rite Masonite ceremony and concluded by Sir A.

The body was then escorted to the train for Kansas City, its final resting place. There were resolutions and telegrams read from all the lodges of the jurisdiction and a number from different portions of the country. ABILENE, KANS.

Winkfield had been urged by many friends to give this work to the public that he decided to publish it. No one who claims to be up to the minute of social conditions or to understand the things that are happening these days and still claim to be so unless he has read this work.

Rev Mosby was called to this church twelve years ago, with a membership less than twenty-five and a salary of $400 per week.

These lots were about to be put on sale for taxes by Mr F. S. Thomas. I was northered by Mr. Thomas and being the pastor I was forced to act quickly to save the ground. I called the little hand together and we raised $100, made the first payment on the $400 and paid the other $900 in three months.

RACE MEN MANUFACTURE SOME HIGH GRADE CASKETS St. Louis Firm is One of Most Successful in the United States. While in St. Louis we had our first opportunity to visit an establishment owned and controlled by colored men for the manufacture of caskets and undertaker's supplies at 400 S. Jefferson avenue, St. Louis, Mo. This is a great institution and should be patronized by every colored undertaking establishment in the country. If every undertaker would just purchase (went) five per cent of the caskets used by them from this manufacturing concern, it would make this one of the largest institutions in the United States. We went through the entire building which constitutes several floors, from the basement where the raw material is to the next floor where the machinery is in motion; controlled and operated by several young colored men, who are first-class mechanics and who are making these caskets, to where they are painted, covered and then to the sales and display room. We are giving a list of the directors, officers and agents who are making this a go and also present herewith a cut of one of the hand-some caskets produced by them. J W Bronaugh, President, J W Chambers, V-President and Treasurer Oliver Rowlett, Secretary. Board of Directors J W Bronaugh, President; Oliver Rowlett Secretary, J W. Chambers, Treasurer Irby, James Williams Saleemen, Agents and Office Force John W. Hays, General Salesman and Advertising Agent. Rev Burton Short and Bennie Beard, Agents, Chris Wallace, Clerk, Horace Irby, Jr. Office Boy They say that the undertakers of St Louis are buying their goods and C that they are loyal to them. It is a duty of every church every secret order and every individual to demand of every undertaker that they buy their supplies from the Eliro manufacturing Co., of St Louis, Mo. Whenever a colored person has a white undertaker in their family in the vicinity where there is a colored undertaker, the colored undertaker raises a howl for not getting the business. Now let the people howl if the undertaker does not get his goods from the Eliro Co., the only concern of its kind in the United States. These young men should be encouraged in this enterprise. THE KANSAS DEFENSE Society needs your help on a proposition that is close to the heart of all true, loyal race men and women. A number of our soldiers are imprisoned at Leavenworth, and you should join the Society, contribute your money and thus help these boys in the gigantic legal struggle for freedom The Woman's Convention of the S H R.
