JEALOUS CRAZED: KILLS GIRL WHO SPURNED HIM EVANS FORMERLY LIVED HERE Attacks Officers and is Killed by Shot Kansas City, Mo, May 12.—Wm. Evans, formerly of this city, shot and instantly killed Miss Seletha Robinson, a teacher in the public schools of this city this evening. One of the shots which entered the body of the young woman, passed thru the arm of her father who had gone to protect his daughter. Bleeding from a self inflicted wound which he had made in the attempt to cut his own throat, Evans escaped from the Old City hospital on the following morning in his nightshirt. After being cornered several blocks from the hospital by a patrolman, a deputy marshall and an attendant of the hospital, he refused to surrender and attacked his pursuers with a hatchet. The Colored patrolman fired into the air three times in an effort to subdue the crazed man, who fearlessly fought his way to the officer. When at a distance of about six feet, the officer fired, the bullet striking Evans in the left breast. He fell with the hatchet clutched tight in his hand. Miss Robinson and her father ere preparing to leave the city to go to California, had purchased tickets and were rushing to reach the bed side of their sick mother and wife, for whom the girl was to give blood for transfusion to her mother. She had taught in Kansas City, for the past three years. Evans was well known in Topeka where he had lived with his mother and brothers. For a number of years he was in the dining car service on the Rock Island to Denver. GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE Sedalia, Mo. The usual Sunday afternoon lecture at the college was given by the Rev F. D.

Cotton, who still survives. On Thursday night there was rendered in the college chapel a drama entitled "The Fruit of His Folly," by the fourth year class, which was in every way a grand success. The scenery, which was made by the students, exemplified great artistic ability of them all and the whole rendition throughout was perfect. Prof. George S. Murray is faculty supervisor of this class, therefore it is no wonder that they are making such marked success.

Murray, who is certainly obtaining some fine results therefrom. The orchestra furnished the music at the A.M. P. church of this city on Friday evening, and from the enthusiastic applause which went up from the full house who heard it, their renditions were very pleasing. Mr. Charles W. Graham is president of the orchestra. W. C. HAWK SEES VICTORY FOR W. Y. MORGAN Hutchinson, May 18.—The nominating petitions of W. Y. Morgan were circulated last week at his home city at Hutchinson. Over two thousand signatures were attached to the nomination and the circulators reported that as they presented the blank to every Republican they met, they did not find more than one or two in a W. H. Merritt hundred who did not sign. "It was one of the most remarkable testimonials of united support that could be given", said C. O. Hitchcock, who had charge of the petitions. "It would be natural to expect that in a city like Hutchinson there would be some who would not give their endorsement, but we confidently say to the people of the State that Hutchinson is solidly behind W. Y. Morgan for Governor for the nomination and when election day comes in November, I believe it will be practically unanimous for him as Democrats announced their intention to give votes to Morgan if he were the Republican nominee."

Dolley today gave out a statement telling why he is supporting W. R. Stubbs and why he believes Stubbs is the man the people want for governor. In his statement, Dolley, who has been prominent in business and Republican political circles for years, said: "I am supporting W. R. Stubbs for governor because I believe him to be the best qualified and best equipped man asking for the nomination at the August primary. "I served Kansas six years in the legislature and four years as Governor and practically the unanimous opinion of the people was, and is, that he has made one of the best governors Kansas ever had. "Kansas voters are about to select a new chief executive, and at this time there are a great many important problems regarding the state's business, and its efficient, economic and proper management, which are confronting the voters of Kansas. Stubbs knows through practical experience how to run the state efficiently and economically. He knows the problems of the people and their wants. When Governor, he enforced the laws of Kansas as they had never been enforced before. He has demonstrated beyond the denial of his enemies, that he has the courage to act in the interest of the people, and the laws that were put on the statute books during the period that he was in the legislature and governor before, are the greatest testimonials of his clear vision of the needs of Kansas. 'By their works, ye shall know them', is still true. "Stubbs has not made a fortune from state offices with which to go out and make an expensive campaign for this nomination. Instead of this, he lost a large fortune raising grain, hogs and cattle on the urgent demand of the government to feed the American soldiers and sailors during the world war. In this he did as thousands of Kansas farmers and stockmen did, and he has gone through every financial difficulty they have gone through. He knows how hard has been their struggle and what they demand and need from their state government. There is no man in Kansas of his experience and ability who knows the needs of Kansas farmers better than Stubbs. And Kansas, if this great state is to continue great and prosperous and progressive, must enforce all laws necessary to protect the rights and promote the welfare of the Homes as well as the business interests of Kansas, must give labor a square deal, and give proper and just consideration to the needs, and rights, of the agricultural and live stock interests of the state. "I am for Stubbs because I think he is the man the people want for Governor. But I would advise the women and men of Kangas to read the public record of W. R. Stubbs as their former governor and member of the legislature, and then decide whether they want to engage his services again. If they conscientiously review his record of ten years of public service, they will vote for Stubbs and Kansas. "I believe beyond question that Stubbs is the leading candidate for the nomination at this time. The sentiment that is so rapidly growing in his favor shows to me that the voters of Kansas are alive to their best interests and are for Stubbs." MUSKOGEE, OKLA. J. E. Mason.

EMPORIA, KANSAS (Continued from front page) Miss Capula Tipton, of K. S. Normal lute, has been cal oil to Washington to find a position as secretary. Mr. Curtence Tipton, our housemover, made a business trip to Kansas City last week. Mr. L. Plowers, who has been located at Wichita for some time, has returned home to stay and will locate in the kitchen business on his suburban home west of towh. He has a nice roadster. The Colored Ill-Y meets every Tuesday at C'ochel, p.m. in the Y. M. C. A. balbain. Their meetings are successful and they are hoping for great improvements, as the Emporians are much interested. There will soon be a drive in half of the older boys' conference, which will enable all men and boys to enter. A Bible class also will be one of the interesting events. Rev. C. P. Morrow, of Ottawa, is in town shaking hands with relatives and friends. He is looking well and seems to enjoy being home with us. A move is on in the Kansas towns asking all Colored people to boost for our Colored men to be given an opportunity to enter civil service in all cities where they are not being accepted. Mrs. Diza Tipton is able to be out again after Kwang had a serious attack of muscular ailism. Little Geraldine Chaine has been very sick having a complication of alliments, but at this writing she is very much improved and we hope for her speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Douglas of Toroka were joined with us Sunday and left for home Monday. The St. James Missionary society held its weekly meeting with Mrs. Nettle West Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. After the usual time spent in sewing, we were invited to a aplendid luncheon. Each one paid 25c. Mrs. C. M. Watson still remains on the sick list. She doesn't improve very fast, and has been sick for some time. We are hoping that she will soon be her usual self again. We had another heavy rain Sunday night, which began shortly before midnight and lasted far up into the morning hours. Naomi Chapter No. 13 O. E. S., gave a banquet and recital at the A. M. E. church Wednesday night, May 3. Alex Enrico Gatewood, of K. U., tenor, and Prof. Theo. Copeland, graduate of K. U., pianist. Mr. Gatewood has a wonderful tenor voice. One of his favorite numbers was an Italian song from Paglascçi, which was appreciated by everyone. This will perhaps be the last time to hear Mr. Gatewood before going abroad. Prof. Copeland played a number of his compositions, which were loudly applauded by the large audience. Prof. Copeland and Mr. Gatewood are artists of real talent. While in the city the two musicians were he guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Copeland. Mr. Bruce Copeland of Frisco and Mr. Orval Copeland of Lawrence were also guests at the Copeland home. The services at all churches Sunday were very good and the attendance was splendid. Rev. Moses Williams, evangelist of Mount Zion Baptist church, Kansas City, Kans., arrived here Monday afternoon to engage in a series of meetings. He is a strong gospel preacher and with the co-operation of the people he cannot help succeed. May God bless his efforts, and sons and daughters he brought home to Christ. He will preach at St. James Baptist church. Mrs. M. A. Evans, one of the pioneer members of St. James Baptist church, is very sick at this time. She has been in poor health over a year, but never an attack like this one. She is a consistent Christian, a loving mother, a loyal citizen, and a blessing to any community. Her case seems to be very serious and all the children have been summoned to her bedside, but we trust she will recover. The II-Y boys are showing interest in the work and staying upon the firing line. One of their mottoes will be after Abraham Lincoln, which reads as follows: "He built the rail as he built the state, pouring his splendid strength through every blow. The conscience of him testing every stroke, to make his deed the measure of a man." Mrs. Peter Tucker, who was reported very sick, is much improved at this writing. Her daughter is here with her. Mrs. C. M. Watson left yesterday afternoon for Fort Scott, Kans., to visit her father and relatives for a while. Mrs. Watson is sick, and it is thought the change will do her good. She was accompanied by her sister-in-law. It is authoritatively reported that Emporia has a Ku Klux Klan here. All of the accused deny being members, and we hope the outcome will be all right.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI A few months ago a group of representative colored people, realizing the need for such a place, formed themselves into an organization, the purpose of which was the erection of an amusement park. Plans have been formulated, a site selected and work has progressed nicely toward the completion of such a park. This park, known as the Monroe Amusement park, is situated on Twelfth street between Meade and Moseley, and promises, when completed, to be of the highest order. Included in the Monroe park is a baseball diamond and throughout the season there is to be played a schedule of games with the fastest teams in the state. Because of their splendid record in seasons past, the "Black Wonder" team under the management of William Gray, has been chosen as the team who can best represent the colored people of Wichita. After May 10 they will be open for dates with any and all professional teams in this section of the country.
