The Topeka Plaindealer The Y. M. C. A. is now on foot; your support, both financial and moral, is needed in furthering the work. Help'em. The members of Shiloh Baptist church installed the new pastor, Rev. Samuel Joseph Williams, of Joliet, Ill. The services were held three nights and ended on Sunday afternoon, December 5th, with a large attendance from all the baptist churches in the city. The installation sermon was preached by Rev. W. W. Ewing, who preached a most interesting sermon on the duties of a pastor and the members toward each other. The members of the church and the citizens of Topeka are indeed proud of Rev. Williams and are very much impressed with his general demeanor. He has an excellent family and we feel that the community will be well paid by their prosperity. Rev. Williams was born in Marl on County, Mo., in 1872, attended Douglass high school in Hannibal, Mo., studied law at Quincy under Hern Monroe, for two years, afterwards taking up Theology and then entered the ministry. His first cell was at Canton, Ill., where he served several years. Here was where he built his first church, Mt. Cernel Baptist church, on which the corner stone bears his name as pastor. His new call was to Calro, Ill., where he preached for some time, pastoring the first baptist church. He paid off the debt, and made a number of improvements on the structure, besides adding many members. He was next called to Jolie, in August 1910, where he served several years and did much good for the race and the public at large, as well as the membership of the church. He was called to the pastorate of Shiloh in this city OKLAHOMA' MASONS RECEIVE MORE LIGHT GRAND ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER IS INSTITUTED That you are never too old to learn was verified on last Monday night. Due, 6th by a number of Masons of Dureka - Grand Lodge of Oklahoma, when they organized in Grand Royal Arch Chapter and received the subline and important degree—the Ne Plus Ultra of Masonry. More than two score years of their life had been spent looking for this light, but patience, diligence and constant application of self duty and study will never miscarry reward, hence after strict trial and lawful examination the promotion was made in recognition of merit only; and the men thus favored with their inducements and more light are laid under new and stronger obligations to promote each others welfare and to correct each other's fall by advice, admonition and restraint and are also bound by most lenient ties, to dedicate their life to virtue and holiness in their intercourse with mankind by being upright and just, and never guilty of any act which shall sult the dignitary of their profession, or forfeit the support due this chapter. ROY R. ROBinson, N. G M., of Philadelphia, Pa. and Hon. H. M. Dennick, 31 degree, of Columbus, O. Va. promised and planned to visit Oklahoma City and institute this Grand Chapter, but other business investments prevented their plans. Roy, W. H. Lane, Ph. D., District Deputy Grand Master, of the Nation, V Grand Lodge of the U. S. and Provinces was authorized to examine the candidates and Institute the Grand Chapter with the following Mowns at officers and companions: J. G. Huffman, G. H P., O. L. Williams, G. Kling, H. E, McColough, G. Scribe, W. H. Hall, Grand Capt. of the Host, J C Osby, G. Principel Solorner, W. H. Williams, G. R. J. Captain, McHenry Norman, G M., of the 3rd Vell, Virgil Lawrence, G. of the 2nd Vell, F. C. Corson, G. M. of the 1st Vell, J. D. Campbell, G Secy, G. B. Remsey, G. Treaster, Moore Butler, G. Tyler. Companions: G. C. Nowland, Hebron and Jordan Stoner and others Jerroth realize that with more trust and knowledge in Masonry three should come a larger vision of life and a cleaner conception of American citizenship and its duties and privileges and strive to fulfill the chief end of life. Pearl W. E. Smith, Grand Master of Kurdish Grand Lodge of Oklahoma delivered the charge to the companions.

His wife is a lady of high attainments, refinement and culture with a fine literary training. She was formerly a Wallace, which was one of the leading families of Kentucky. She is very much interested in public questions and especially work pertaining to the study of children. She has been connected with both church and educational movements and has been of great help to her husband in his ministerial and church work. She came with her parents to Monmouth, Ill., when a mere child, where she graduated from the public schools of that place. She has taught in the public schools of Kentucky and Missouri. Rev. Williams was the president of the General Baptist Convention of Illinois for three years, and a member of the National Executive Board of the National Convention. He had to work his way through life and secure his education than hard work. Being a young man of good morals, he was encouraged by his many friends who say to it that he never wanted or suffered for anything which was necessary to carry on his education. He was an orphan boy, his mother passing away leaving him at the age of six years. At thirteen he started out for himself worked on the farm and attended school in the winter. He is a member of several different lodges, but puts his whole energy into his ministerial work. It is a master who is broad in his views and will join in with any minister of any denomination for the upbuilding of the race. were Rev. and Mrs J C Mitchell and children; Mr. and Mrs Eugene Methews.

Ala., Dec. 11th—E- laborice plans are being made for Thirtieth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which will be held at Tuskegee Institute on Wednesday and Thursday, January 19th and 20th. "Needs of the South's Present Day Rural Life" is the general topic for discussion, and as usual the first day will be given over to the farmers and the second day to persons engaged in educational, christian and social uplift work. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, announces that the indications are that the conference in 1921 will be one of the largest attended in the history of this movement. A number of speakers of national importance have been invited to appear on the program and men have already accepted. Special reduced rates on the railroads have been applied for and persons attending will be entertained as guests of the Institute. KANSAS INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE The week was opened by a lecture by Alderman George Harris of New York on the Subject, "Opportunity" or the "Coming Conflict", and was enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of hearing. Our next big day was a genuine "PEP" meeting which was for the purpose of aiding our boys in winning the game with Lincoln Institute, at Jefferson City, Mo. The game ended with a score of 13-6 in favor of Lincoln, but we are just as proud of our boys in spite of the defeat. It has been said though we did not win, we have the strongest team in the Missouri Valley. Our defeats have been largely due to disadvantages such as the weather, etc., Captain Ross Owens, our famous broken field runner and our famous teekle, Chas. Lewis, weft the stars in the game. We were glad to have our Chaplain Rev, W. H, Young and Prof. Turnell who gave us some good advice from his personal experiences. We desire the citizens of Topeka and of the state of Kansas to come and visit this wonderful institution of ours which is trying in every way possible to make the coming generation stand for something, and be able to accomplish good results.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17., 1920 ```markdown ``` Season's Greetings and wishes for its large Family of readers A MERRY XMAS --- As president of the Kansas Defense Society, we wish to call the attention of the public to the Houston Hot Case, where several soldiers of the 24th Infantry, U. S. Army were court maritaled, is of them passing the penalty at Ft Sam Houston and something like a hundred were sentenced to prison for life. We organized the Kansas Defense Society to secure the liberty of these poor, unfortunate soldier boys and employed Hon T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth, Kansas, and Hon Elisha Scott, of Topeka, Kansas, and Hon I. T. Baalbour, of El Reno, Okla. Habeas Corpus proceedings were instituted in the U. S. District Court at Kansas City, Kansas, before Judge Pollock who rendered a decision sometime ago which necessitates an appeal to either the United States Supreme Court at Washington or the Appellate Court at Minnesota. Attorney Bell contended that we should begin raising funds before the decision of Judge Pollock was made. While we differed from him on this proposition, he was permitted to go ahead, to organize and collect these funds to suit himself. Up to this time nothing has been done towards filling this case to the higher courts, neither has there been any action started to do so. However, he is now going over the country collecting funds for expenses, which no one knows where it is needed or how much is necessary. Hon Elisha Scott has notified Mr. Bell that he is ready to proceed with the case and has been for sometime and has requested Mr. Bell to cease collecting funds from the public, as it is his opinion that the public has up to this time contributed sufficient funds to take the case to all the courts in the United States. Mr and Mrs. S. A E Moore motored through Richardson and Toppea last Sunday and report very enjoyable trip. Dear Editor: I hope this will miss your waste basket as I am one of your subscribers. If you all don't trust this please tell me why. Mr and Mrs Muckes and Mrs Haford and Mr. Harris all motored out to the ollridge and had dinner at one o'clock. After slight seeing for sometime during which time they viewed the milking machines, they had lunchhe and returned to Mr. and Mrs. Moore arriving back at home about 9 30 in the evening. MR. D W. LAWSON - Shoemaker. The people of Topeka are always proud to welcome new business enterprises among the Colored race. Mr. D. W. Lawson, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, was born in Baldwin County, Alabama and attended the public schools at his home and finished his trade as shoemaker at the Institute in 1917, also took the Literary Course in connection with his trade. He took Horace Greeley's advice and came west. His first stopping place being Junction City, where he worked for J. A. Counts who operates one of the largest shops in the state. His first job at his trade was at Mobile. Ala., before coming to this section. He also worked at the Blue Ribbon shop on Government contract work At Junction City, Cupid's arrow plorced his heart and he was married to one of Topeka's most cultured and beautiful young women, Miss Ethel Wroldridge, in March 1918. She has been a great help to him in his business in keeping the books and looking after the cash. After Now as president of the Kansas Defense Society and one who is responsible for the employment of these attorneys, we want the general public to be patient and insist in seeing to it that Attorney Hall takes action in this matter at once. We have no doubt but that since the Republican administration is in power at Washington, we will be able to secure the release of these men and find occurs to us that Attorney Hall is attempting to play this same game. He assured us that he had the law on his side and that there would be no question about the release of these boys through all the courts. Now we want him to be busy and show us this law and what can be done. On the other hand, Mr Scott has information from a prominent attorney in Washington, to the effect that he can not only secure the release of these men but that they are entitled to $1085 00 each from the government for money due them for the time they were deprived of their liberty up to the present date, and that he would take the care for one half the amount due the imprisoned men and take his chances. He also expressed little faith in the manner in which the case had been handled up to this time, but is yet willing to go into it and correct the present mistakes. The attorney in question is well known in the city of Washington and whose reputation is well known throughout the country. We now expect Mr Bell to get busy at once in this case. NICK CHILES President Kansas Defense Society Editor, Toeka Plaindealer first place of employment at Mobile where he worked for sometime at his trade. From there he came to Tojeka in May 1920, and went to work at Reuter's Shop, where he re-married two months leaving place to engage in the shoe repairing business of his own and opened up the Globe Shoe Shop at 219 Kansas Ave. Telephone 3910. His shop is equipped with all the modern and necessary equipment to turn out first class work. He says the people who bring their work to him go away so well pleased that they not only bring all their work but send others. He now has the reputation of being a first-class shoe maker and repair man. He says the business is growing steadily. He has a young man working with him and is teaching him the trade. He is doing fine and bids fair to make a good workman. The race will have to make a way for the young people of the coming generation who are rapidly forging their way along the business and commercial avenues. Mr. Lawson deserves great credit and should be encouraged. He places a guarantee on his work and his prices are, 'live and let live' prices which are within the reach of all. He will appreciate your patronage. Call and see him or phone him at 3901. His number is 219 Kansas Avenue. CHETOPA, KANSAS Please attend the Pazaar next Wednesday.

Formally Claim Investigator. Claim Department. C. R. I and P. R. R. Topeka, Kansas. CHRISTOPHER C. BELLE Train Porter who was retired on pension June 1st, 1920, has worked under fourteen Superintendents and eleven Train masters during his 29 years of service on the Kansas Division, Rock Island Lines. This grand old man was born in slavery near Lexington, Mo., Lafayette Co., January 15th, 1851. Mr. Bell like many others had no chance for an education and as soon as he was able to go to the fields was put to work among other laborers as a farm hand thinning out corn, being only four years old when this task was put to him, his young heart became full of hated and anger and in the year of 1865 being disgusted with his hard task, ran away from home and came Kansas where he made his home and gained his livelihood following day labor until 1874 at which time he entered the service of the Union Pacific as train porter on the Kansas Division. He remained in the service of the U.P. for 12 years resigned and went to Texas and entered the service of the H. T. Houston and Hearne, Texas. He held this position four months and not finding Texas very pleasant, returned to Kansas City, Kansas and worked as a day laborer and then entered the service of the Rock Island as train porter on the Kansas Division in 1891 and worked continuously until retired June 1st, 1920. This predead old man is one of the most respected citizens of Topeka and has had the reputation of being honest and upright and always on the job, and well known by the traveling public who on learning of his retirement gave him world of praises for the courtesy he showed them while in the services of the company. He was a loyal employee and when the news reached the General Passenger Department at Kansas City, it was with regret that the old man was forced to retire, account, disability and old age. On his retirement, Mr. Dell said, "The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad is the greatest railroad on earth." Mr. Fazel, who has charge of the Boy Scout work in the city is appealing to members of the rce to assist in developing this work among the boys of the city. Some active leader is wanted at once to act as Scout Master for the proud of Boy Scouts in the vicinity of the Buchanan School. This work is a worthy one and should be encouraged. bax.
