Colored People of Tulsa Bring Suit Against the Insurance Companies for Five Million Dollars TWENTY-THIRD YEAR NUMBER 27 (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.-Racial Adjustment was the principal topic discussed at the A.M. E. Church's Bishop's Council, which closed its annual meeting here last Saturday morning. The Council met in the old historic Bethel Church and the sessions were largely attended by the public. Organic Union and Fraternal Union were the other big topics discussed. The question of Organic Union with other large bodies of Methodists was the most warmly debated by the Council. While the question was laid aside for the present it was earnestly presented as one of "the more vital questions now confronting Methodism throughout the world." On the other hand, Fraternal Union was advocated, and the Secretary of the Council, Bishop J. Albert of Philadelphia, was instructed to conduct such correspondence as would encourage the favorable action of all Methodists on this particular matter.

In accordance with a new Constitutional provision our time of meeting has been changed from the third Wednesday in July to the third week in June of each year. At 10:30 a.m. the Grand Patron sounded the gavel and the usual opening ceremonies were observed with Mrs. Lottie J. Gamble, Worthy Grand Matron, and Mr. William Jacobs, Worthy Grand Patron, presiding; after which the Grand Chapter was called off and the program of the local committee was carried out. The welcome addresses and responses intertwined with vocal and instrumental numbers proved both interesting and entertaining. These features concluded, the Grand Chapter resumed business and Hon. H. I. Monroe, Grand Master of Prince Hall Lodge of the Kansas-Colorado Jurisdiction and the Associate, Grand Mutron, Mrs. Monroe of Prince Hall Grand Chapter O. E. P., were introduced and extended the courtesies of the meeting. Bldg. Monroe address for the grand Chapter, cementing more closely the bonds of friendship between the Kansas and Missouri Jurisdiction. He was made the honor guest of the Grand Chapter with Mrs. The Bishops in attendance at the Council were: Benjamin F. Lee, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Levi J. Coppin, of Philadelphia, Pa.; C. S. Smith, of Detroit, Mich.; William H. Heard, of Philadelphia, Pa.; John R. Hurst, of Baltimore, Md.; I. N. Rows, of Washington, D. C.; A. J. Carey, of Chicago, Ill.; H. B. Parkes of Chicago, Ill.; W. W. Beckett of Brooklyn, N. Y.; W. I. Chappelle, of Columbia, S. C.; J. M. Conner, of Little Rock, Ark.; W. D. Johnson, of Plains, Ga.; W. A. Fountain, of Atlanta, Ga.; and J. Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia, Pa. The Connectional Council, comprised of the heads of departments of the church also held session during the week. Among the more prominent men in attendance were: Dr. Reverdy C. Ranson, editor of the A. M. E. Church Berlew; Dr. John R. Hawkins, the general financial secretary of the church; Dr. B. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the connection. A. B. Robinson and Mrs. V. E. Guy, Past Grand Matron, as attendants. The afternoon session was occupied with the annual addresses of the presiding grand officers and departmental secretaries which showed marked increases and substantial growth under the most trying circumstances thru which our jurisdiction has passed since its organization thirty years ago. The address of the Grand Patron and Grand Matron were among the best that we have listened to and demonstrate the fore sight of the grand body in its selection of officers in 1910. Men and women who can stand the test and "Hold the Fort" till we arrived in Liberty with a full corps of officers and representatives ready to stand for the good already accomplished and plan for future growth and expansion. The second day's session completed all reports, among which was the Grand Lauturer's, Sister Mary Johnson, and that on Foreign Correspondence by V. K. Guy and committee. This report reviewed the proceedings of thirteen jurisdictions with greetings from eighteen. The report showed also that the Order of the Eastern Star is doing substantial work among our race variety in assisting in maintaining Masonic homes for the widows and orphans of the order. The Grand Chapter attendance was unusually large this day by a full delegation of the sisterhood from Kansas City and adjacent places whose presence gave increased enthusiasm and support to the business measures under consideration. Mrs. Gamble and Mr. Jacobs and Mrs. Marle Hedgemon, Grand Secretary, were retained in office, but after these changes chased each other down the memoranda sheet quick and fast and when the balloting was over a new force, together with appointments were given charge of the different department work. The exemplification of the secret work by the drill teams of Kansas City and the Chapter of Sorrow by the team from St. Louis were up to the standard set by those ladies some years ago. While sitting under the spell of those matrons of the fine arts of skill and beauty and sorrow we traveled from the home of the widow to the grandeur of King Solomon's court—enjoyed the beauties of the Amarathan Court and then sheil the silent tear with those chapters who had lain away thirty-four sisters since our meeting in Hammalb, Mo., in 1920. Miss Ethelyne Horde, Grand Auditor, reported the books of the several secretaries and Grand Treasurer Mrs. Bill Edward in excellent condition and balancing to a half penny. The financial receipts showed. Relief and Burial Department Receipts ..... $11,404 09% Disbursed ..... 0,722 06% Balance ..... $ 4,713.33 General Fund ..... 1,441 01% Total ..... $ 0,183 04% $50 was given the Tulsa sisters of the O. E. S. and Mr. Newkirk, a photographer, who had lost all, was given a collection of $20. The third day's session was filled, the closing scenes and the appointment of the Grand Matron, Mrs. Lottie Gamble, Mrs. M. P., Woods, Mrs. Marie Hedgemon, William Jacobs, G. P. and Mr. George W. K. Love, P. G. P., as a committee to represent the United Grand Chapter before the Grand Lodge at its meeting in August. "God be with you till we meet again" made us realize that we must bid each other good bye with the hope of meeting in Richmond in 1022. Virginia E. Guy, Topeka, Kan. NOTICE TO MISSIONARY WORKERS The Kausaq Conference Branch Women's Mite and Missionary Society, which hold their convention in Chanute, Kan., July 23 and 20, will be favored by a special guest in the person of Mrs. Mattle Murff, a returned missionary and a native African woman, Miss Jeanie Somtunale.

We are to have a Basaar in connection with our convention, all societies send art work, nothing very expensive, please. State President of Kansas Conference Branch Mite Missionary Society. COLORED MAN REFUSES ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS Buzzards Bay, Mass.—Charles Garland, who a few months ago refused to accept his $1,250,000 share of his father's estate, has just refused another million, this time from the estate of an uncle. Barefooted, tamed and happy, Garland is leading the life of a farmer here. "Men become great by following their ideals, not by following the lure of wealth. Money kills idealism. Christ preached this. I am a professing Christian. "A society based on money is the wrong thing." he continued. "All the evils of the world spring from private possession—from the desire of one man to have more than another. The real things—ideals and ideas—cannot be bought and paid for." "If I have something others need I will give it to them. And if they have something I need I'll take it, but not on a money basis. All I want to eat, I'll plant my foodstuffs and build an engine to reap them. Then I am producing what I need and not robbing any one." ...Notice... To All Delegates and Visitors: I am pleased to inform you, that I have just secured arrangements with the Passenger Association for reduced rates for One and One half Fare under the Certificate Plan of 350 or more tickets purchased at Full Fare going to Iola, from any point in Kansas or Nebraska. In buying your tickets ask the Agent for a Certificate. At stations where Certificates are not issued ask for receipt. Now if we have as many as 350 we can get one half Fare home. (Certificates showing the purchase of One any tickets from points from which the local one-way fare to the place of meeting is 67 cents or more.) Any ticket bought July 8 to 14 included will be accepted. No certificate dated later than July 14 will be taken up. ALL BOOST the attendance to the Session and be benefited thereby. A. M. HARROLD, C. G. M. 1540 Willis Ave., Omaha, Neb. READ THE MAINDEALER FOR YOUR HOME NEWS. Editor's Note Book Mr. J. G. Lewis and Mrs. Ada Hatcher Jenkins were married at Kansas City, Mo., last Saturday. Mr. Lewis is an employee of the Santa Fe. He became very lonely after the death of his wife with whom he had lived very happily until she died on May 29th and was buried on June 4th, and he was married July 2nd to Mrs. Jenkins. These two people are very prosperous citizens of Topeka and at home now to their friends at 1125 Boxwell street. This shows times are changing. In our write up of Pittsburg, Kan. we made a mistake in saying Mrs. G. W. Summit was conducting a successful laundry. This is a mistake. She has a position that pays her $75 per month. She is a widow, whose husband left her property and money to care for the children. She is one of Pittsburg's most prosperous lady citizens. The manufacturing concern recently organised by Hon. W. G. Banks, of Kansas City, Kan., is something much wanted and needed by the Colored people of this country and this should be easily managed and if the race will take stock and take hold of it there is no doubt but good returns will be had for the money as well as finding employment for Colored people of the race. This is one of the main roads for success of the race, is by the combination of wealth and uniting under some kind of a corporation that finds employment for the people as well as a sale for the stuff manufactured by them.

AS I WAS GOING TO SAY. To The Editor of the Plaindealer: Now, Mr. Editor, the great question of racial solidarity, is the burning issue. No one will be allowed to derogate though he be a minister. I shall not deal in slap, vulgarity and throw a stink pot in order to retaliate. The mission is too sacred, the cause is too noble, the demand to throw off the present church system is too intensified to deal in opprobium with an insolent, arrogant, bigoted, ignorant minister who lives by the sweat of docile, superstitious people. The article by a minister a few weeks ago is the best argument for a unity of the Negroes into one denomination. I expect to be hocked, abused and misrepresented by the beneficiaries of the present denominational system. Geometrically speaking, allow me to fly a tangent. I shall demur to the accusation and beg for such time that I can put this ignorant upstart on my literary lap and castigate him in such a way, that he will learn never to break into intellectual circles, where his training and "bringing up" forbids. When the rush of business on farm and in my office will permit, I shall take this mental invalid to a shearing. My contention in the promises, is this, that since no influence is greater than the church thru various denominations and the cardinal differences can be easily adjusted, the Negro in America should form one denomination. Since, the present system is costing the Negroes millions annually; since there is a minimum of results with a maximum of expenditures, the system should be changed. Since the Negro is a denominational bigot rather than a fervent christian and the system by its very existence for over 50 years has further disorganized, impoverished and fed the Negro on a creed, biotry and heresy, it should be changed Now Mr. Editor, the multiplicity of church meetings, the constant building of expensive churches, that one man might have a job—the millions given to the railroads each year; the supporting of an army of Negro ministers, is not only affecting the Negro but has invited a disrespect for the Christian institutions. In order to delineate more forcibly, allow me to give a few concrete examples: Town Negro Pop. Churches Muskogee 9000 49 Taft 700 5 Wagoner 600 4 Haskell 350 5 Rentlesville 892 5 I am reciting this to show the baneful effect of the denominational system and the criminal extravagance that follows thereto. The question that forces itself on an intelligent mind is. What is the need? Why do such ridiculous situations obtain? It is caused by a system forced upon the Negro during and immediately following slavery. It is being maintained by an army of selfish, grafting, designing leaders, who profit by the continuation of this system. The indictment against the present system must not be confused with that of the church, Christianity or any particular creed. The question is "Resolved that there should be only one denomination, to which all Negroes should belong, not one of the 29 denominations to which the 16,000,000 Negroes belong can claim that they have the only "passport to glory." Protestants believe or should believe in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. They all subscribe to the Trinity or the doctrine of "One Lord, one Faith one Baptism." It is not enough to say that the consolidation invites aggression by the state, a protectorate nor will the state act in a judiciary capacity, nor establish a suzerain over any creed. It is as foreign as it is foolish to take refuge behind such a transparent object. Any Negro who is not willing to subjugate his denominational pride for church consolidation is one of three things: a denominational bigot, ignorant or a beneficiary of the present system. The 18 annual National church meetings held by the Negroes thru out the country would be converted into one, the many thousands of state district and county meetings could be eliminated and better results be had with one meeting to each state or 48 meetings a year. This is not a dream, they are facts that only need to be studied. As a matter of fact, this is revolting to a certain element of Negro ministers whose proficiency would prevent them from keeping time with the march of events. This element of ministers prey on the Negro rather than pray for them and any attempt to jar them from their "chops" will meet with stubborn resistance He has a plausible reason. Does not he get all the good things of life? Is it not he who makes the ignorant Negro feed, clothes, house and give him not only extra suits but automobiles. It is he who takes from the plump handed baby the contents of its little savings bank and accepts at the hands of the rheumatic old mother, her last penny. Is it not he who PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR inst the Dollars TULSA POLICE CHIEF INDICTED 12 Other Persons Included, In True Bills of Grand Jury. Tulsa, Okla. Grand jury investigation of the recent race riots here led to return of indictments against seven civilians and five of the police, including Chief John Gustafson. Attorney General Freeling, who conducted the inquiry, told the court he could not fully contour in the jury's findings, believing accusations should have been made against other officials and alleged thieves. Chief Gustafson and the four policemen are charged with conspiracy to dispose of stolen automobiles. ANDERSON SLATED FOR FOST IN NEW YORK (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York.-Charles W. Anderson, a Colored leader, is slated for collector of internal revenue at New York City. There is pending in Congress a bill, recommended by the Treasury Department, providing for an increase in the internal revenue collection districts throughout the country from 04 to 74. One of the new districts is to be established in New York, to relieve congestion in the Second District at present presided over by "Big Bill" Edwards. The Second District is the richest one in the country in the amount of tax collected. Senators Wadsworth and Calder are to recommend the appointment of Frank Bowers as the successor of Edwards when the latter's term expires. The New York senators will also indorse Anderson for the new district in case Congress favorably acts upon the bill increasing the collection districts. Anderson served as collector of internal revenue in the second district under previous Republican administrations. NEGRO MESSENGER AWARDED ORDER OF BRITISH EMPIRE To Charles F. M. Brown, servitor of the British embassy, has gone the distinction of being, according to official records, the only Negro in the United States to receive the medal of the Order of the British Empire. The presentation was made yesterday in the presence of a full staff of the embassy gathered under the big maple on the lawn of the embassy. Brown, for 35 years, has been attached to the embassy as a messenger and clerical assistant, during which time he has served under nine ministers and ambassadors, beginning with Sir Jackville-West. Sir Auckland Geddes himself planned the decoration on the breast of Brown and delivered a felicitous speech, reciting the long service of the recipient. Brown replied with an expression of his devotion to the embassy. NOTICE NOTICE Kansas City, Kansas, is making great preparation to entertain the Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. O.

The 5 Million dollar drive was discussed and the 3rd and 4th Sundays in July, as the days to raise money for that purpose. An unusual number of young men were in attendance at the meeting than ever known at a previous session.

Each Sunday School in the district was represented with one or more delegates. Several conversions were reported and the finances above the usual. Mrs. Seaborn was re-elected as our Superintendent for another year; Mrs. Gillum, of Lawrence, as Assistant.
