Since the setting of the last Grand Lodge at Atchison in 1920, Grand Master Miller and Grand Secretary Bettis became estranged for some reason unknown to the members. Miller called the 1921 session off on account of the National Grand Lodge meeung, To this actlon, Bettis de- murred and called a Grand Lodgo meeting himself and was ‘elected Grand Master, Miller claims that Bettis was without authority, not be- ing 1p possession of the State War- rant, nor were any of the Grand Lodge officers of either lodge who were elected at the Atchison meet- fug present. Miller further states that Bettis was suspended from his focal lodge and from the office of Grand Secretary, therefore, hia meet- ing at Wichita was an illegal one. Bettis claime that Miller acted without authority of law in calling off the Grand Lodge and that he was within his constitutional rights in calling the Grand Lodge, after which Miller brought an injunction proceed: Ing in the District Court of Wyan- dotte County, prohibiting Bettis from acting, The Court sustained the cortention of Bettis’ lawyers that the case had no standing In court and dismissed it leaving the funds in the bank. and all claims to be paid only on the approval of Attorney L. ‘W, Johnson and Rev, George McNeal All ‘parties agreeing to this arrange.

When we visited In Arkansas City ‘a few days ago, ve found Mr, Ralph Sowden, president of the New Era Milling Company, ard his wife, on a honeymoon trip in Florlda, They "have been married for several years, but never had the time to taka the ‘much promised trip. Mra, Sowden, uDiike most women did not insiat on duty It will be to preside until all officers are duly elected, fustatled and matters placed on a safe footing. Aw the situation now stands Bettis has no legal authority to act, nor did the Court give him any, accord: ing to the final actfon recently hand. ed down, Attorney I, Ws Jobrson, the attorney for Miller, succeeded in getting the action sought by Miller, that {s, control of the funds. Now, should Bettis call his Grand Lodge in September and all of the tition the National Grand Master to convene the Grand Lodge and whose the members in good standing to pe- Grand officers of the Miller faction attend, they would then be acting without authority and any action tak- en then would have no legal bearing upon the funds now In the bank, as they would be without the charter, which must be a part and in possess: fon of the one to whom it was legally given and which can only be legally disposed of by either the Courts, the |Natlonal Grand Lodge or the Grand Lodge, regularly constituted of Grand officers and the charter, all assembl- ed and working together. Only could such a body take over the funds now tied wp by asking the Court to dissolve the pending order. With the affidavit of the officers of the National Grand Lodge, from ‘whom the charter Is issued, and the Grand officers with affidavite of their action, duly authorized, would give over the money and Bettis and Mil, ler, though elected at Atchison, would be out. In fact, the warrant or charter is the whole show, and that is what constitutidual law is based upon. Now, to the members, take our ad- vice.

CHARLES YOUNG. --- Shiloh Baptist Church was packed to its capacity on fast Sunday, when Memorial Services were held in honor of Col. Chas. Young. The Topeka branch, together with the church furnished a splendid program for the occasion. Preceding the program, a thirty minute musical was given by the 23rd Rgt. Band, under the direction of Prof. Geo. W. Jackson, and the Shiloh Dramatic and Musical organization, with Mrs. Etta Jackson, directing, after which the master of ceremonies, Ion. H. I. Monroe announced the benediction by the pastor, Rev. S. J. Williams. Address by Rev. Bernard Kelly on Col. Young The Rev. was with Col Young on a return trip from the Philippines and knew him personally. He paid a glowing tribute with all the sincerity at his command. Mrs. A. R. Jackson, a former pupil of Col. Young, spoke of his life in the school room and as she knew him. Mr. Wm. Biby, director of the Near East Relief Fund, was the next speaker who dwelt on the Colonel as a citizen. Mr. Biby was a speaker on the program with Col. Young at the time of the Celebration Kansas gave to its returning soldiers, telling of the high esteem and regard he held for this great soldier and gentleman. He further spoke of the racial conditions as exemplified in the life and work of Col. Young. Capt. Bolivar E. Watkins, spoke on the military life of the Colonel, bringing out the great, big broad minded principles which he attributed to the success of Col. Young's career as a soldier. Several retired members of the U. S. Army, some who had served under Col. Young were seated upon the platform. Shiloh choir under the direction of Mr. Fred Ware, rendered several selection on the program. Rewarded For Faithful Service 一 It pays to be accommodating and honest to your fellowman, Mr. Jake Brown, of Great Bend, Kansas, inherits half of the estate of Mrs Ellen Wheeler, widow of the late James Wheeler, who died about twelve years ago. Mrs. Wheeler died a few days ago and gave to Mr. Brown, one half of the estate for being honest and faithful in attending to her business. For sometime he was a tenant on one of her farms and for seventeen years or more he dealt with these old folks in a fair and honest way. The Wheeler's homestead the first 160 acres and bought and added more land to that until their property had reached a high valuation. They were honest, upright Christian people, who loved their race and not like most colored people who die and leave their wealth and possessions to white people or to some white lawyer to steal. While she did not itemize her personal property, or the number of acres of land, she owned other real estate, or the cash in bonds and in the bank, we are informed she owned 480 acres of land three and a half miles south of Great Bend, valued from $100 to $150 an acre, something like Seven thousand dollars in cash and bonds, a fine residence in the city and other property. Why the lawyer who drew up the will, did not give a list of her holdings is more than we can say, as to how the executor will go about finding all of her personal effects, is a grave question. It will pay all who are interested in the estate to assist the executor in this important matter. Mrs. Wheeler at the time of her death was sixty nine years of age and was feeble for some time over to her death. Her funeral was held from the A, M B church, of which she had been a member for many years. The Rev S. B Anderson, pastor officiated, assisted by Rev F. H. Ranney of the Baptist church, one of the pioneer ministers of Kansas, one of Great Bend's oldest citizens. A high tribute was given Mrs Wheeler by the ministers. Rev Ralmev, who had known her for verbs, paid a glowing tribute to the deceased. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at Great Bend. Following is the will: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ELLEN WHEELER. I. Ellen Wheeler, of the County of Burton and State of Kansas, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills by me at any time made.

I specifically give to my executor hereinafter named the full power and authority necessary to carry out all the terms and provisions of this my will with authority to make conversances or conveyance of my real estate as hereinabove provided for, expressly relieving the purchasers thereof of any responsibility to look for the distribution of the proceeds derived therefrom. Fifth.

It is with pleasure we meet you. MISS M. E. Davidson Thank you Man. Ed CARBONDALE, KANSAS By William M. Foster Mrs. John Terrell, Miss Velma and Orville of Burlingame, and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Foster, spent Sunday at the home of Wm Foster. Mr. Earl Odell of Topeka visited Gene Foster ast week. A Wolf Hunt was held at this place last Friday. About a dozen wolves were rounded up but all escaped except one because the north line was too weak. Wm. Foster and Gene were in the hunt and the former shot him twice before he was killed. It took a 100 shots or more before he was killed. The soldiers who were overseas, said that it reminded them of the World War, except that they did not have any gas bombs or shrapnel. Mr and Mrs Freeman were callers at the home of Wm Foster. A very pleasant time was spent for they brought their graphaphone with them. Almost everybody present was on the floor sometime during the evening. MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA Praise the Lord. The Lincoln Conference is to rid this district of the "Gold Dust Twins." Taking the State teachers to a place like Ardmore, is the most undefensible act the committee could make. Ardmore has less morals and less manners than any place in Oklahoma. It may be that the colored teachers are employees in the moral laundry. The painful delay in passing the Anti Lunching bill by the senate, has invited suspicion on the part of the Colored people. That Ohnulgee affair has reached the point of public indecency. The Governor may have the legal anthority to "butt in" but to take advantage of his power at this particular time, only aggravates the matter. Too much democracy. Little Willie, (Rey Arlington Wilson) will conduct a few weeks protracted meeting for the Pey Dr Stewart. During this time he will quietly investigate the general status of the "Old Firs". The people there are fominting under a desire for a relief on one hand and shame to start a "big firs" on the other. Rev and Mrs S S Jones were called to the house of their daughter, who is attending school in Washington. The entire community is praying for the recovery of the young lady. Last report was that able was recovering slowly. Rev. J S Bryant and Dr Webb debated the question of foot washing as an ordinance or command There are many Baptists and Methodists who believe in the foot washing as a command. Measures DeLancey and Fields will open an undertaking establishment on South Second street. This is undertaker No. 4 Political expediency is out thing and political principles another. There is no political decency in the Negroes voting the Democratic ticket this year in the general election. The N.E.T Association was revived during the session of the state meeting. The vote to take the association to Ardmore is one of the best reasons for the revival of this body. W.B. Jores of Lima was elected president of the body. You may now be assured that the N.E.T. Association will be the biggest, busiest and the best. MEN & WOMEN WANTED! Will soon throw open their doors for business. Factory No.1 will be located at Kansas City, Kansas.

Phone Fairfax[0255 Dr. Buttram, the Sage of Eufaula, will have a big normal there this summer. We hope the "Anvil Choir" will not get their hammers out and start their old tune of lying and pimping to the "whi' folks" We are glad to note that both the schools, the state Baptist college and Flipper-Key-Davis, are making good. These schools need the support of the race. Oh what has become of our Community Service Center? Is it possible that this great movement has been drowned in the denominational river of hate? The big K. of P. drive netted about 150 brave Knights, this harder is growing by leaps and bounds. There will be over 200 hundred business men to go on the special trip to Mexico. Major Gleason, the Colored millionaire of Mexico City, will run a free train thru the Republic to induce the American Negroes to settle in that country. No doubt about, Ira T. Bryant is on the right trail. Persecuting him will not change the matter. There are a few knees that have not as yet boughed the knee of humbleness to the Ahab's of the A. M. E. church. Well, the poor old U.D.F.'s mule has begun to flop its ears, and we hope the proper financial food will be had before a demise. Come on Peter with the funds. The little Miss Lillian R.

If we had long ago made provisions for the technical education of our Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been incalculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can scarcely be estimated, nor can we form any estimate of what would have been the effect upon the Negro himself by way of encouragement, arousing his ambition and increasing his value as a citizen."
