TWENTY-THIRD YEAR NUMBER 21 The Kansas Defense Society Is After Results and Not Petitions. Topeka, Kans Feb. 28, 1918. Hon. T. W. Bell, Atty. at Law. Leavenworth, Kans. My dear sir: We are contemplating on bringing to a test the constitutionality of the trial of the soldiers of the 24th Infantry who were tried and convicted at Fort Sam Houston for participation in the plot there in August, 1917 and for which thirteen were hanged and thirty-eight are now incarcerated in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth. Under the code under which they were convicted, the president has said that this does not apply to this country but over in France. Under the military rules of this country all court martials have to be reviewed by the president and in this case, no reviewing was done except by the commanding general of the southern department. We want this matter thoroughly gore over and wish to know what procedure we should use in the matter, in order to secure for these men their rights and for this we will create and solicit a fund to pay lawyers to take action in the matter. We do very much the authority of this court martial to convict these men and think they should be tried by a jury. Before we do this we would like to know what steps to take so there will be no guess work. The Topeka Plaindealer is championing the cause of these soldiers and expects to see that the funds are raised to defray expenses. We would like to know your retainer fee in a matter of this kind after you have given us to understand if anything can be done. You can be furnished with a copy of the trial and information that you may wish and for further information on the power of the court martial in a case like this, you will have to obtain elsewhere either from the War department or from rules and regulations laid down in some military book. You must understand that a court martial can be mistaken as well as judges on a bench and ought to be subject to errors. We have writter the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston and Ellisha Scott of this city who will be associated with you in this case; and of course we want one white man attorney, a strong man who we will decide on later. Now let me hear from you with reference to this matter. Very truly yours, Nick Chiles. Leavenworth, Kans. Mar. 11. 1918. Hor. Nick Chiles. 'My dear Chiles;' Your letter of February 28th came to me in due time, I note that you say relative to the Ft. Sam Houston matter and hasten to say, that I would be pleased, to confer with the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston and the Hon. Elisha Scott of your City relative to the same, they are both splendid men of whom I have an admiration for. Now, the matter you want to know more is what to do, and what we can do, and what we believe ought to be done. It is a fight and the kind I enjoy, and the kind I treat I see victory ahead, and the kind I would be pleased to take part in with the two gentlemen you speak of. I have a fixed mind on the matter as I briefed upon it as for myself at the time it happened. The retainer fee is an important item and I would want to talk with you personally along that line, as there is an expense to the lawyers who take up the matter. and there is a way in taking up the matter and presenting it to the court that will catch the admiration of the true and fair consideration of, and by the court. These are the things which must be courted carefully, that is the reason I shall here refuse at this time to comment further or differently until I have talked with you. You say that Court Martial can be mistaken and men can be wickedly wrong when he cares not to do right and refuse to be fair, and as for the vengeance to please his wicked mind. So I shall close and will be In Topeka some day this week and talk with you and Mr. Scott and learn what you know about Mr. Lewis Topeka, Kans June 20, 1918 Hon. T. W. Bell, Atty. for Kansas Defense Society. Leavenworth, Kans. As per agreement, you will find enclosed check for $50 as a little expense money to assist you in preparing papers for the bringing of habeas corpus proceedings $n$ the case of the court martialled soldiers of the 24th Infantry now incarcerated $n$ the Federal Prison at Leavenworth. I have sent Mr. E. T. Barbour check for $40 and Elisha Scott, $20 and shall instruct them that you are beginning to prepare the papers for the matter and that you will correspond with them as chief attorney in the matter. Please remember that when this case is brought and when given to the associated press and newspapers that we will use the name of the Kansas Defense Society, Nick Chiles President and you as Chief attorney We want every body given full credit for what they do so that the public may know. I think I will try and have a meeting arranged in Leaverworth soon so that I can make a talk on this proposition and collect some funds there. Mr Samuel's has headed the list with $500. Of course you understand we intend to make this organization parmentent and have it so that any time anything happens to our people in this western country, we will have some funds on hand and can employ attorneys at once to take the matter up, and it is up to me $ like you to assist us in making this organization permanent Very truly yours, Nick Chiles.

By Edw. T. Moore. Business in Claremore was at a standstill last Monday as a result of the down pour of rain which lasted for 11 hours. Part of the business district was flooded and water stood 10 inches deep in the First National Bark. Cat Creek was out of it's banks and was a quarter of a mile wide. Water was very high on S. Missouri avenue. One family living near Cat Creek had to be carried out of their home in a boat. Altho the water is said to have been the highest with the exception of six years ago. There was no loss of life. Rev. Noah W. Moore, of this city has been informed that his son, Tollie T. Moore, who graduates from Shorter College, N. Little Rock, Ark, this spring has been elected to the highest honored student in the high school department. Robert Johnson and family of Tulsa, spent last Sunday in the city as the guests of Mr. Farmer, his father The Crime wave in Claremore, continues to keep us busy and on the alert. About 11:30 p. m. Thursday, two men broke into Rainey's place on S. Missouri avenue. They entered thru a front window. Mr. Lowe and Mr. Weaver, saw them and called Wm. Rainey, the proprietor. A police alarm was turned in. The men were trying to rob the electric piano, but were frightened away before they had an opportunity to pull off the job. They were given chase by Mr. Rainey and others as they fled north of town, where the trail was lost. Nothing was missed from the place. Miss Minnie West spent Saturday in Tulsa taking violin lessons The Rev. L. E. Nelson left Tuesday night for Tullahassee to attend the commencement exercises of the Flipper-Key Davis University. Mr. Troy Murrell and Johnnie Clardy left Sunday for Kansas City. Rev. Noah W. Moore pastor of the A. M. E church of Vlan, preached a soul stirring sermon at the A. M. E church here on Sunday night to a large and appreciative audience His text was, "Occupy until I come" Luke 19:13. The Boostres Club of the Mt Zion Baptist church met Thursday evening at the Washington Bath House, with a large attendance. The guest of honor was Mrs Turner of Bristow, Okla., who made a rice address to the club members. A response was made by Mrs Bell, followed by Mr Wm. Rainey. Rev. P. A. Heart, pastor of Bethel A. M. E church left Tuesday for Tullahassee, Okla. to attend the commencement exercises of Flipper Key-Davis College. During his absence Mrs Heart and daughter, Miss Pearl were alarmed Wednesday night by the storm passing thru the parsonage When the excitement was over, they found many good things left them by the storm, which consisted of groceries of all kinds. These storms are always welcome at the parsonage Mrs F B Beech seems to have been the center of attraction The Rev will be surprised when he returns and finds what the storm did The Social Uplift Club met Thursday night at the church. The next meeting will be held with Miss Laura Rollin on West 6th street. The Rose Hud Club social given at the A. M E church on Friday night, was one of the grandest affairs ever given in Claremore. A large bunch of people turned out and all had a good time. The church was beautifully decorated and the several booths all contained something different. All Claremore people are proud of the Boley bark for which a charter has just been granted. It is true there are several colored banks thru out the country, but this is the only one granted a charter by the National government. We look upon it, not only as an achievement of Boley, but for the whole race. We notice in the Tulsa Daily World, where a warrant was issued for the arrest of Edw Thomas, head of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of Milwaukee, Wis. The warrant charged possession and exhibition of pictures intended to stimulate a race riot. The pictures showed the lynching of five Negroes and a Negro girl. Why don't some of our white brethren issue warrants for the arrest of the owners and exhibitors of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or the "Birth of a Nation"? Both of these do more to stir up hatred and to cause a race riot than the pictures shown by Mr. Thomas. Why does the government allow such pictures as these to be exhibited There is a real building boom in Claremore now. For several weeks building has been resumed on a large scale than at anytime since the fall of 1918. Several residences are in the course of construction and more are being planned. Mr A. E. Elston has just remodeled his home on N. Oesunia avenue. The members of the St Joseph Baptist church have started the construction of their new church on West 9th street. The members of the A. M. N church are very anxious to start their new building which will cost $25 000. Claremore is holding her own. The unemployed is now on the decrease here and at this time most every one here is busy. Last Sunday was a high day at the 1st Baptist church, Rev. C. B Burton, pastor preached Sunday night on the Doctrine of Sanctification. It was enjoyed by all. A large audience was present and the collection was $33.50 for the day. In the issue of May 5th, the Tulsa World remarks, "William Heard, of Atlanta, Ga., in Milwaukee, Wis. to organize a branch of the Ku Klux Klan. Mr Heard described the order as a "secret patriotic organization formed to maintain American principles and white supremacy." But we all know what the Ku Klux Klan means to the black man.
