THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Lincoln Conference, of the M. E. Church-Closes Most Successful Session Here The 20th Session of the Lincoln Conference, Methodist Episcopal church, was held at Mt. Olive M. E. Church of this city, April 6-9. The Conference met on the morning of the 6th, with Bishop Chas, L. Mead, D. D LL D, presiding. Devotionals were conducted by the Revs: W. H. G. Rowe, and S. H. Johnson. Following this was the Sacremental sermon, though brief, was truly a great sermon, by Dr. Edmund J. Kulp, D.D. of this city. It was both edifying and instructive to all present. The Bishop then delivered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Organization of Conference The conference was organized by electing the following named officers: A W Talbert, secretary; S. H. Johnson, treasurer; W. L. Darlus, statistian. The welcome addresses were delivered on Thursday evening. The Rev. J. H. Williams, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, on behalf of the Mineral Association of the city; the Mayor, H. J. Corwine, on behalf of the city. The address of the Rev. Mr. Williams, was a masterly effort and made all feel welcome; the audience at large felt that there was a common ground in the plan of Redemption, where all denominations could stand and realize the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. The mayor discussed with great eloquence, the character and work of the Christian ministry. He exalted the ministry, giving it the highest place in the gift of Jesus Christ. The response by Bishop C. L. Mead, was very appropriate and showed the comprehensive grasp which the speaker had upon the social and religious problems of today. The Rev. H. T. S. Johnson responded to the welcome extended by the Rev. Williams. He was easily equal to the occasion and combined thought with eloquence, wit with logic and held the audience spell bound during the time allotted him. Friday morning finds the conference hard at work; it was the day for the passage of Character of each minister and to receive their reports as to their labors in their respective fields of labor. They reported on several items of their work, among which was the Centenary reports. Many of the pastors reported a fair percentage of their assessments and a few reported "over the top" on all claims. Mt Olive church of this city, under the pastorate of Dr. N. J. Johnson, reported her full quota of all benolences and $83.00 in advance. The Denver church under the leadership of Dr. S. A. Striplings, reported in advance, $45.00. Manhattan, under the leadership of the Rev. Darlus, $20.00 in advance. Chanute, under the leadership of Rev. Allen, $20.00 in advance. There were several General Conference visitors in attendance at the conference. Among them may be mentioned: Dr. W. S. Bovard, secretary of the board of Sunday School world Chicago, who delivered a powerful address on "Child Life" Prof. R. B. Hayes, A. M. president of George R. Smith College, was present and addressed the conference on the subject of Education and the College. The Rev. W. H. Nell gave a very instructive address on the Centenary Movement. The Bishop's lecture, "The Black Knight of the 19th Century" on Friday night at the 19thman Hill M. E. church, will never be forgotten by all who heard it. He exhibited all the attributes of a great orator; and in addition, the two principles concerned in the making of an orator, the man and the message. The essential attributes of a great speaker were unconceciously displayed by him from beginning to end for more than an hour and a quarter. He was graceful in action and exhibited a well-furnished mind, showing a fluency of language and possession of a refined pronunciation and a devotion to the truth. His peroration consisted of a burst of sublime eloquence that almost lifted the audience on tiptoe. Truly he is a great man that is thoroughly prepared to deliver a great message. On Sunday at 11:00 a.m. the bishop prescheduled as a dying man preach ing to dying men. His them was, "The Suffering of Jesus." Out of this theme, he drew inferentially many powerful, awful and sublime truths, such as sin must bring suffer- ing and death; Jesus conquered, sin and death, and those who believe on Him are privileged to sin no more, and those who live in Him by faith shall never die. In short, the sermon was evangelical, interesting, in- structive and edifying. Many hearts burned, while he talked with us by the way. Appointments There were many changes made in the appointments. The pastor in charge of Mt Olive, in the person of Dr N. J. Johnson, was reappointed to the same charge to the delight of his many friends and the public of n' denominations. T.' conference adjourned to meet at Ft. Scott, Kansas, one year hence. Topeka District The Rev, G. G. Logan, box 324, Topeka, superintendent. Alma-McFarland, Rev, R. G.

All departments of the church reported financial gains over the previous quarter. As a whole, the church continues to grow in membership and spirituality. The Presiding elder reports this to be the best report since he has been on the district. Mr. Andrew Burton applied for license to preach and was recommended by the church to the district conference. Mr. Burton is a man worthy of his calling. We know nothing of him but as an upright, Christian gentleman. He has been class leader of No. 1, for eight years. The U, B. F.

Carter regarding the Easter program to be held in the evening. The program was a splendid one rendered by the young folks of the church. APEX THEATER CHANGES HANDS H E. SHEPHARD PURCHASES TO PEKA'S FIRST AND ONLY RACE PICTURE HOUSE. Among the business transactions of interest during the week, was the purchase of the Apex Theatre, at 302 Kansas ave., by Mr. H. E Shephard, formerly of Los Angeles, California, who has recently come to Topeka to locate permanently. PETER H. The Apex, was the first and only picture show house ever owned and operated by Colored people in this city, and was opened to the public about ten years ago by a group of well known men of Topeka, headed by Mr. K. K. Pinkston, who were brought face to face with the problem of racial discrimination and "Jim Crowism" afforded the race in the various show houses of the city, For a number of years, Mr. Shephard conducted a successful business in Los Angeles, California, where he bore the reputation of being a wide-a-wake, progressive business man, farseeing and conservative in financial and business affairs. A few months ago, he retired, disposed of his holdings in the Golden West and came to Topeka for a much needed rest, bringing with him his family, composed of his wife, formerly Miss Lizzie Cooper, well known in this section and their little daughter, Miss Henrietta. They have recently returned from a trip through the Southwest, where they visited for several weeks. While on previous visits to this city and by no means a stranger, Mr. Shepard has made the acquaintance of a large host of friends who are eated to know of his new adventure and feel that his location in this city will mean much to the commercial growth of our racial enterprises of Toneka. In speaking of his entrance into the business life of the city, Mr. Shephard remarked: "I am anxious to see that which the race has been years in accumulating and building up, kept within the race, and insomuch as this is done, we establish our own race solidarity and increase our enterprises. In the face of recent difficulties here, it is necessary that this picture house be maintained and managed by Colored people. In taking over the Apex, it is my intention to give to the patrons, the best possible for the money. The motion picture has become of educational, as well as recreative value, and I will make it a policy to show only those pictures which will be inspiring and edifying to both the young and the old. In my long years of lealing with the public, I have long since learned that if the people are given value received, for their money, they will come again and bring their friends" New Features To Be Added. In the way of improvements, Mr Shephard has outlined further plans for the conscience and comfort of the patrons of the Apex, and as soon as possible to do so, remodeling and repairs will be carried out which will place the Apex on a level with similar show houses over the country which are maintained by Colored city "Music," says Mr Shephard, "is a necessary and important asset to pictures, and it will be my policy to very shortly install suitable music for the class of pictures which will be shown. I have visited some of BETTISMAKES BLUFF. W A. Bettis, of Wichita, and others have brought a restraining order in the District Court of Shawnee County against F. O. Miller, Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. lodges, for interfering with them in official capacity. Mr. Bettis and his associates met in Wichita in 1921 and proceeded to elect themselves Grand officers of this organization without warrant or authority. They took this action on the ground that the Grand Lodge adjourned in Atchison to meet in Wichita on that same date. They assumed that F. O. Miller and other officers had called off the Grand Session for the reason that the National Grand lodge would meet that same year, and they presumed it would be necessary to hold the Grand Lodge that year. In issuing the call for the Grand Lodge, Mr. Bettis and his associates, claimed that Miller and the Grand officers who were duly elected at Atchison, had no power to call the session off. With a few disgruntled ones, without authority, assembled themselves as a Grand lodge at Wichita, at which time Bettis, with the crowd with him, elected themselves officers. He then went into his newspaper and pro- to the people that he was legally elected Grand Master, as Villa pro-claimed himself President of Mexico, but never did act. We are surprised at him going to court after telling the people of his so-called victory. It seems to us that if he were working with the warrant, he would not have to resort to the courts. We are surprised at him taking such action as this in the matter. If he had proper rights involved and Miller and the organization were trying to rob him of the same, then we could see some reason for suit. There is some thing wrong in this method of procedure. He is either trying to disrupt the organization or seeking revenge. None of the local organizations have given his mandates any consideration, save two or three. The Sister organization have never recognized him. So if he and his few friends think the district Court of Shawnee county or the Supreme Court of Kansas, or the U. S. District Court at Washington can place them in possession of the records of a secret organization or place them in authority to conduct or rule, they are mistaken. The Courts do not force lodges to take expelled members in, or to place them in authority. The Courts are established for the protection of the individual and property rights. These gentlemen the finest picture houses in the country and have observed in particular the effect of the proper relationship of pictures and music, and it will be the policy of the management to please its patrons at all times." KANSAS INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE TO HOLD 26th ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT MAY 19 to 24, 1922. BISHOP CLEAVES AND CHANCELLOR LINDLEY SPEAKERS. The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute announces that its 26th annual Commencement exercises will be held on May 19th to the 24th. This has been an unusual successful year in all departments of the school. The graduating class consists of twenty two members. Roger Burton, of this city has been selected as valedictorian. He has made a very unique record while at the institute, being winner of the oratorical contest in 1919, a member of the chorus and quintette and the Y. M. C A, cabinet, chairman of the finance committee of the senior class and captain of both football and basket ball teams during the past season. Miss Aurilla Franklin of Kansas City, Kansas, received second honor. The program of the week is as follows: Friday, May 19, 10:12 A. M., Junior High school graduating exercises in the institute chapel. 6:00 P. M., Music Exhibition, Chapel. Sunday 3:30 P. M., Commencement sermon, Chapel, by Bishop N. C. Cleaves, St Louis.

Physical exhibition by young women and Band Concert, Chapel. 8 p. m. Oratorical contest, Chapel. Tues- PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR who are disgruntled appear in courts in the case will be demurred out of court. It is high time that Colored men who pose as leaders of the race, who are piloting them into success, not be eternally in court about some small matter. While ninety-eight percent of the people are not disturbed and unmoved, yet it places the race in a bad light. The Ten thousand dollars is under the protection of the Wyandotte County court and is being paid out only on orders of the court. As long as this is being done, Mr. Bettis and his associates who want the Grand Lodge to meet, ought to wait until it meets and if he is permitted to enter, place the matter before that body to make the final decision in this matter. As the case stands today, I am doubtful whether or not he will be permitted to enter, as the report is current that he has been expelled from the local lodge. In a previous article, we stated that he had no power, and he has proven this by bringing this case in the district court for a decision. Following is a clipping from the Topeka Daily Journal of this city: There isn't much use in electing officers if they can't take office. That's what drew the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten into the Shawnee County district Court today. The new officers of the Negro fraternal organization, elected in September, 1921, at the Wichita convention, filed a petition asking the court to issue a restraining order to prevent the old officers from interfering in the affairs of the association. They assert that the old officers will not quit. The petition also recites that there is $10,000 in the mutual aid fund and that the money is imperiled by the dissentions that have arisen. The new officers who are plaintiffs in the case are: W. A. Bettis, Grand master, E. Baker, deputy grand master; S. T. Jones, treasurer; S. T. Hood, fifth member of the Executive board; G. W. Burns, member of the mutual aid board, and P. C. Thomas, grand secretary. The old officers, named as defendants, are: F. O. Miller, grand master, L. W. Johnson, deputy grand master; W. J. Morgan, grand treasurer; A. R. Ewing, fifth member of the executive board; J. N G Soanes, treasurer of the mutual aid board, and H. W. Jameson, national grand master. day, May 23, 10:12 a m.

Mrs Deborah Fields Geeter, was born near Talequah, Okla., May 26th, 1856, and died in this city March 10, 1922, at the age of 65 years, 10 months and 10 days. Her mother and father, Abraham and Sarah Fields, had departed this life several years ago. She came to Manhattan with her parents when a mere child and attended the public schools here in the early days. She was married to Isaac Smith in November 1883. To this union one child, Maud Sarah Smith, was born. Soon afterwards becoming a widow she was a faithful and loving mother, working hard to educate her daughter, because although not having the opportunity herself, she was a great lever of education. After living a widow for twenty years she was married to Edward Geeter, January 3, 1904, and was a faithful wife until death. In September when her health began to fail she began preparing her clothing and household things for her departure, and would constantly tell her friends and relatives that she would soon leave them, even selecting the clothes she wanted to be buried in. She was converted at the age of 16 and joined the First Baptist church but later in the year 1891, she united with the A. M. E. church and was a faithful member to the last. She was not one to make a great display, but always willing to comfort and sympathize whenever she could. On Thursday morning as she was nearing the Jordan she called her husband and daughter to her bedside, she asked for her grandchildren. She told them all goodbye, that her mother had come after her. She made it plain to every one she was patiently waiting on the Lord, and at 7:30 a.m. she quietly passed to the Great Beyond She leaves to mourn her, her husband, Edward Geeter, daughter, Mrs Maud E. Ervin, and a brother, four grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. The beautiful floral offerings and the large concourse of friends who attended the funeral show the esteem in which she was held. Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest. Lay down thy had upon thy Savior's breast. We love thee most, but Jesus loves thee best.

Grand lodge has issued a proclamation for the annual meeting of the Grand lodge of the jurisdiction of Kansas, to meet in Wichita, Kansas, on September 5. 1922. ATTY. SCOTT ADVOCATED THE During the trial in Kansas City, of the U. B F. case, Attorney Ellisha Scott, proposed to the court, that the funds aggregating more than $10,000 be held in the Minnesota Ave., State Bank, as a trust fund until the Grand lodge could convene in Sept. 1922, at which time all differences would be thrashed out. Atty. Scott advised that the solution to the matter would be to "let the fellows scrap to determine who the officers, but he wanted the people's money protected and the court sustained the application.

TOPEKA'S FASHION SHOW A GLOWING SUCCESS A large crowd thronged Metropolitan Hall last week to witness the Fashion show under the direction of Mrs. Essie Clark, Tapeka's popular milliner. The models were indeed, striking in appearance, as they posed in the "Paris-up-to-date" creations of woman's attire. Charming ladies, beautiful gowns, chic sport suits and from head to foot they exhibited the many fads and foible which so readily please the women of today. Hats of every shade, shape and texture, were shown from the Hat Shop of Mrs. Clark's, from which are turned out hats for the young, as well as the old; the thin, as well as the stout; and for the tall as well as the short. As the fore runner of spring and Easter, this was a most unique introduction of the season's latest in women's wearing apparel. Mrs Clark was ably assisted by Mrs. Allen Alexander, Mrs. Cyrene Gaines and Miss Effle Burge, who aided largely in making the affair a success. Through the courtesy of the Pelletier Store, the models were furnished the necessary accessories, such as gloves vanity bags, paraols, etc. The W. W. Mills Co. furnished the ladies wraps, some of the finest in the store. The following ladies posed as models: Misses Annabelle Sawyer.

CARROLLTON, MISSOURI The entire citizenry of this place is all aroused over the Dan Heinz Park and lake which was started several years ago. The park composes 13 acres with artificial lakes, one of which is well stocked with black bass, cropple, perch, cat, sand pike and other species of game fish. The lakes are supplied by ten large wind mill pumps. Now the trouble is, that in all these years the whites did nothing toward helping him and now the park has become one of the finest in the state with plenty of shade trees. 1500 box elder, 275 pine and numberless other tree whihh for the past 22 years have been growing until they spread their boughs outward making cool, inviting shady spots over the entire park. They would not allow Colored people to frequent the place. Now, however, he has sold the park and it was Colored people who bought it. This is the point which hurts the a fair and square man and does the right thing with both white and Colored alike. On last September, the Colored Masona tried to rent the park but were turned down as the whites stated they would not use it any more if the Colored people were allowed the use of it. So now the race is in possession of the park and are at liberty to enjoy all the comforts of same. It is hoped that the whites will not disturb or molest in any way since Colored people have made this purchase.. Kev, Jackson, pastor of the A. M.
