But it is the bath deluxe which elicits from every beholder a sigh of satisfaction. Sixteen units, every one fitted with the most massive base porcelain tubs in the men's department, this being duplicated in the separated women's section, elaborate with cabinets, spacious heating and cooling rooms, a special masseurs department. In fact, they are equipped to give every kind and type of hydropathic treatment, with competent attendants on call.

The charity committee allowed something for the widows and orphans and the afflicted members. A Lodge of sorrows were held in memory of the departed dead. Past Grand Master Ben Watson of Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Kansas forty years ago, who died in Washington, D. C. recently, also Past Grand Master Nelson C. Crews of Missouri. The Grand Lodge voted to meet in Topeka, Kans., in 1924. This was the W finest time in the history of Prince Hall Grand Lodge that the entire elective grand officers were re-elected by one motion. Harmony was so thick that a two-edged sword could not cut through. The citizens and lodge members of Coffeyville are to be congratulated on the fine reception given the delegates and the hospitality shown. Grand Master Soanes was highly commended for the dignity and fairness in presiding over the craft, in fact, all the officers were kind and courteous. The following are the officers. J. G. N.

Mr. Tom Shelton is in charge and certainly no mistake was made when a man so experienced in greeting and caring for the public was secured. Assisted by his son, he not only gives the guests a sense of contentment, but sees that everything about the imposing structure is kept immaculate. On the top floor there is a sanitarium operating ten provide rooms for the accommodations of the patients. It is a splendidly equipped hospital. The lighting facilities are wonderful. One can't find a shadow when the lights are on. Over all is a roof garden. The bath house may never pay the Pythians on the basis of money invested, but one thing is certain, they have erected a monument to their order which will make every member of the organization proud. John L. Webb, president of the Arkansas State League, the treasurer of the national, was the outstanding host of the convention. He represented the spirit of Hot Springs, and his name was upon every lip as they viewed the wonderful accomplishment that this Tuskegee graduate has wrought during his brief stay in Hot Springs. Truly, he is the king of the town. No matter where you turned, the evidence of his ability and vision TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1923 ing city the red in art and the influence of the organization he has built, the Woodmen of the Union, were apparent, White Hot Springs from the mayor down and black Hot Springs from the street urchin up repose confidence in John Webb and his Woodmen. WEST VIRGINIA CITIZENS ORGANIZE TO WIPE OUT RULE BY COAL BOSSES Defenders of West Virginia Will Enforce Constitution and Resolve State Bill of Rights Starting a bare dozen years ago, four years ago he moved his organization here. The first month of his effort 75 members were organized. Now there are 42,000 with assets of a quarter of million. The splendid Woodmen bath house and sanitarium, with Drs. Kendall, Barrabin and Eue in charge, the interesting office force with twenty-nix young women actively employed as stenographers and clerks, the plans for a four-story office building soon to be erected with a bank, now in process of organization, occupying the main floor, all are evidences of the unusual genius of the man. Dr R. R. Moton performed more than a heroic action when he sprang into the Bayou and rescued Mr. Webb and his daughter last Monday morning. He saved to the race a real constructive force which will more and more take a front rank in the affairs of the group. A good job is open for the right man. An error in the general news release quoted a special committee as being responsible for the progressive new program to be put in vogue. The executive committee, headed by Chairman C. C. Spaulding, is behind the move and states that they are ready to pay a big salary to the man capable of earning it by organizing local leagues throughout the country. A vote of confidence was extended to Charles W. Anderson of Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Anderson, the former treasurer, personally guaranteed payment of funds lost in a bank failure during his term of office. Charley was here there, and everywhere as usual among a host of friends. PROF. J. S. HUNNICUTT REACHES PITTSBURG Prof. J. Sherman Hunnleutt, principal of the McKinley school, Topeka, Kans., spent several days in this city last week making a special survey of the educational facilities, methods and schol administrations as conducted in connection with the public school system of Pittsburg. While in the city he was the guest of W. P. Bayless, business manager of the Stralt-Tex Chemical Company. Prof. Hunnleutt left Sunday for Wilberforce university, where he will spend a few days with his parents and from there he will go to Kansas City, Mo., where he will spend several days studying the school system of that city. During the early part of the summer he attended the graduate school of the University of Wisconsin.—Pittsburg Courier. CHERRYVALE, KANS. Mrs. E. P. Landis left yesterday for Baxter Springs, Kans., where she will attend the picnic given by the N. A. A. C. P. Mrs. Barton of Clearwater, Kans., visited with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Roberson, for a few days. Mr. Kellog, a pioneer citizen of this city, died at his home early Friday morning from the attack of a stroke Thursday evening. The funeral was held from the Bethlehem Baptist church Monday evening. He was a deacon of the church. His presence will be greatly missed. The K. of P.a had charge of the body. Mr. Kellog leaves a family and a host of relatives and Friends. - Mr. Alec Clay of Kansas City, Ka. Mrs Lessie Clay of Pittsburg and Lillie Clay of Kansas City, Mo., who have been in the city visiting their brothers, James and Earnest Clay, returned to their respective homes Sunday afternoon. While here they attended the Masonic Grand Lodge at Coffeyville. Rev. Roberson of Parsons preached at the Baptist church Sunday. The Stewards Rally given at the A. M. E. church Sunday was a success. We are winding up the work for this conference year and hope to send up a good report. Mrs. Pearle Williamson is visiting relatives and friends in Iowa. WEST VIRGINIA CITIZENS ORGANIZE TO WIPE OUT RULE BY COAL BOSSES Defenders of West Virginia Will Enforce Constitution and Resive State Bill of Rights End of Mine War Outrages and Victory of Union's Right to Organize in W. Vo. Seen As Result of New Organization The citizena of West Virginia, determined to wipe out the rule of private coal interests which have in recent years made their state the scene of violent conflicts between capital and labor, developing at times into a virtual civil war, have banded together into an organization called the "Defenders of West Virginia" for the purpose of "enforcing the Constitution of the United States and reviving the Bill of Rights of West Virginia," according to information just received by the American Civil Liberties Union. The new organization, according to its secretary, Killie Starr Chambers, young widow of the murdered Ed. Chambers, who with Sid Hatfied was shot down in cold blood on the court house steps at Welch, McDowell county, by agents of the coal operators, "has the backing of at least 90 per cent of the citizens of West Virginia." "The Defenders of West Virginia," Mrs. Chambers declares, "is in part a movement of the West Virginia women rising against the black name given their state by the un-American suppression of all civil liberties, the terrorization work carried on by gunmen, Baldwin-Felts thugs, deputy sheriffs in the pay of coal operators, and the whole train of outrages committed by the coal operators controlling the state government." Prominent among the West Virginia women organizing the Defenders is Mother Lavinia Haberfield, the vice president of the new organization and former state president of the Womens' Relief Corps of the G. A. R. Mother Haberfield is also ex supreme representative of the Knights of Pythias and has been a charter member of that organization for the last 30 years. Together with Harry Bell, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias in West Virginia, who was one of the officials prevented from speaking in Logan county by Sheriff Don Chafin last February, she is lining up the Pythias to give full support to the Defenders. Members of other fraternal organizations, among them prominent Masons, are lending their support. The first issue of The West Virginia Defender, the official organ of the new organization, is already being circulated throughout the state, the Civil Liberties Union is informed. The Defender aims to lay before the people in West Virginia the plain facts about lowlessness in their state and to bring back to them "their heritage of constitutional rights and their hard won personal liberty." Notable among those citizens who have organized the "Defenders" in Thomas C. Townsend, attorney for the mine workers leaders in the recent trial at Lewisburg, Sam B. Montgomery, former state senator, W A. Miller and George W. Oldham, members of the House of Delegates, and Benjamin L. Rosenbloom and J. Alfred Taylor, members of congress. "The Defenders will not quit until free speech is a reality in Logan," declares President Townsend, "and until the miners there have have the right to meet and speak freely and to join a union or not as they see fit." That the West Virginia State Federation of Labor will also give full support to the "Defenders" is evident from the proclamation sent out by the officers of District 17 of the United Mine Workers of America, urging all union miners in the state to become members of the new organization. The Union's proclamation, signed by C. F. Keeney, president of District 17, William Petry, vice-president and Fred Mooney, secretary, declares: "We predict a rapid growth of this organization, which is now in its inception and feel that before many days have elapsed that thousands of members will be enrolled, composed of men from every walk of life, as every true American believes in the principles on which our nation and state were founded—that is, that we should not be deprived of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the enforcement of this is the purpose for which this organization is created, and in view of this undisputed fact citizens the nation to their names as the Defenders of W. Virginia." Commenting on the new organization, Robert Mors Lovett of New York, acting chairman of the Civil Labellies Union states: "This is the most encouraging local revolt against the suppressors of civil liberties we have heard of for many months. Led by natives West Virginia, the Defenders cannot be handed as outsiders, as was formerly the case with any organization opposing the brutal rule of the coal operators and their agent, Don Crafm, who has not hesitated to murder mine workers for attempting to exercise their constitutional right of free speech. Some of the District of West Virginia run the risk of paying the price with their lives. It is a top organized cannot be ignored by time. The principle for which this stands well win out at a time of great brutality and Bildwut like gunmen." GOVERNOR AL SMITH BIDS FOR NOMINATION New York, Sept 6. Every colored paper in New York City claims that Governor Al Smith is endeavoring to strengthen his prevailing campaign for the democratic nomination for the presidency by blocking the Dempsey-Wills boxing bout in defense to the prejudices of Southern democratic votes. The Amsterdam News says: "Like a bolt from a clear sky came the news Monday night to this city of the real reason why the Dempsey-Wills fight has been hanging in the balance for the past few months, and that reason is that the Honorable Al Smith, governor of the state, is making a bold play to the cracker Democrats of the South in preventing Harry Wills from meeting Jack Dempsey in the toped arena. Negroes who have supported the democratic party in this part of the country that Al, good old AJ, of the East Side, would go out of his way to see that justice was done and that fair play would be meted out to all, at least in the world of sport. This is the same Al that smilingly gazed upon the colored Democratic Marching club a few months ago, which made the trip to Albany to let Al know that he had the colored vote in the palm of his hand. But unless the governor suffers a complete change of mind, there will be no Dempsey-Wills contest until after the Democratic Convention of 1924." The New York Age, the New York News and other publications in behalf of the race are on in declaring that the reasons for the governor stopping the fight were that he did not want to offend the Southern element of his party, upon whom he must depend for his support in his candidacy. WORK ASKS $500,000 FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, Sept. 6-Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, will ask congress to appropriate $500,000 for the construction and equipment of an addition to the medical and dental school at Howard university here. Of the amount sought $130,000 is for equipment. There amounts have been already included in the estimates of the appropriation of the department of the interior for the coming fiscal year of 1925. Secretary Work said that it is due to the insufficient facilities for the education of the colored race in the medical and dental professions existing throughout the United States. At the present time the medical school of Howard university is being conducted in a small building. The proposed appropriation would be used to build a large structure which would practically double its present capacity. NEW YORK COLORED MAN GETS FEDERAL APPOINT MENT New York, Sept. 6—Paul W. Henderson, assistant postmaster-general, directing head of the Railway Mail Service, has appointed Samuel Lee, a colored railway mail clerk, as supervisor of the New York terminal of the Pennsylvania railroad. The commission making Mr. Lee supervisor was brought to New York by John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service, who is a colored man, recently raised from the ranks of the service to the high position that he now holds. Subscribe for The Plaindealer.

Among the sisters 19 had joined the G. Household and 20 of the Odd Fellows had joined the G. 2 above. Among them was Patriarch Wm. Johnson of 105 and the last chartered member of D. S. L.

Dear Sir: Please refer to my letter of June 12th which was an answer to your protest dated May 31st against the display of signs in railroad coaches operating thru Kansas, intended to show the nationality of passengers in those states where a distinction is made between the white and colored races. As you were advised, the matter was taken up promptly with all of the railroads operating thru Kansas and the Commission now has assurance from all of them that these signs will not be displayed while the cars are in Kansas. In memory of my dear husband, W. H. Jackson, who departed this life one year Sept. 6, 1923. Dear husband, how I miss you, no one knows. God called you and you had to go.

President Coolidge will recommend a strong and potent anti-lynching measure to the next congress, and promises to get behind it with all of the influence and power of the White House, is the announcement given out by C. Bascom Slomp, new executive secretary. It is understood that the president will not only ask for the enactment of all of the clauses of the Dyer bill, but will urge that penalties and juri-diction be incorporated for the punishment by the federal authorities of masked and hooded organizations engaged in outrages upon American citizens. Washington has remarked the characteristic reserve that has prevailed with the president upon his policies in general, but in the matter of stamping out lynching the executive has broken the silence, and according to Mr. Slemp, he has broken it in a forceful and decisive manner. Recent depredations reported from Georgia and other points in the south, in which men and women have been flogged by masked bands of marauders, are so deeply deplored by the president that he desires the ant-lynching measure to include penalties drastic enough to bring them to an end. It is expected here that the bill will meet with the same opposition from the democratic members of congress, particularly from the south, that appeared against the Dyer bill. It will be remembered that Senator Underwood, leader of the minority and candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, obstructed a vote on that measure and threatened to stop the functions of the government with an Infamous filibuster, rather than see it become a law. Those close to the president say that he believes the present emergent conditions will ensure a favorable consideration of a new bill. At least the supposition obtains that with the long session of congress, which comes in December, there will be offered sufficient time to fight the defenders of lynching to a finish. WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, Sept. 6.—Applying the "one-over" to the democratic display of presidential timber in our letter of last week, and calling attention to the prime qualification of all of these candidates going on record against the colored citizen of the country, we referred to Governor Al Smith, of New York. We said on him: "He will be placed to the trethy of declaring himself as being opposed to the colored American, else his chances for the democratic nomination will dwindle to zero." We, felt in making this assertion that we were talking by the book, as it pertains to the party of Harrison, Varduman and Underwood, but we never dreamed that a verification of our prophecy was no imminent. Here comes the news that Governor Smith files the certificate of his desire for the democratic nomination in truly democratic form, and its first edition issues forth from a proposed purifiie mull between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills. The inconsequential matter of approving a prize fight between a white and a colored votary of the little game, should not affect the destines of a candidate for the high office of president, but it does with the democratic party. Any event or individual afflicted with color is a nightmare to the Southern democrats, and conscious of their power, they know that there is no democrat party about them. If you are not right with them about holding the pro-terro in abweaee you with them on every Government knows this, every- body knows that simon-pure hatred against the Negro is the fundamental of all democratic policies. If you cannot mix a little of this hatred into every democratic concoction it loses its savor with that singular organization. Governor Smith was quick to discern that if he permitted Harry Wills to try for the championship with the droughty Dempsey, and maybe, by hook or crook, wrest the crown from the champion that he would never be forgiven by the Southern democrats, and he might as well chuck his presidential aspirations into the junk heap. He realized that if he allowed any such punching proceedings between black and white pugilists to take place in his state, he would become immediately a cipher as a party possibility. So he moved in the matter in a purely democratic way by stopping the contest, as the New York Telegram asserts, "until after the democratic convention in 1924." Knowing of this peculiar fatuity of his party, Governor Smith, exercising his fine sense of self preservation, stopped the fight rather than let the fight stop his candidacy. This seems ridiculous on its face, but all things are ridiculously possible in the democratic party. CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT Washington, Sept. 6.—W. H. Lewis, of Boston, assistant attorney-general under President Taft, called upon President Colidge last week. Mr. Lewis was the first colored man named to the position of assistant attorney-general. He was a delegate to the Republican National convention in 1920 and attended Amherst College with Mr. Coolidge NATIONAL BAND CONTEST Coming out of the achievements recently in Chicago, a proposal has been made that a national band contest, both concert and jazz bands, would be a fine thing for increasing the interest in musical development, as well as demonstrating to the world just what is being accomplished. The idea, set in embryo, would include bands in all parts of the country, those now formed, and those that might be assembled within the next few months. These contests would be arranged on the elimination plan, with the finals to be in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. The subject has been broached to J. L. Grinnell, director of the famous band in the John Wanamaker stores, as well as Major N. Clark Smith, and others, all of whom think well of the idea. Recently Mr. Grinnell's band gave a concert of Negro music, as a memorial to the late Lieut. James Reece Europe. The concert was given in the Wanamaker Philadelphia store, with large placards telling the full meaning of the event. Mr. Grinnell has achieved such fine distinction as a band director that Musical Truth, published by C. G. Conn company, large manufacturers of musical instruments, lauds his success in superlative terms. "I think all the troubles of the world would be worked out through music if the people stopped to listen," said Mr. Grinnell. WORLD WAR BANDS During the World War, some of the most famous bands in the American army were colored. Two of them gained an international reputation: The Fifthth, New York, and the Eighth, Illinois. Not only were these great bands a constant inspiration to the soldiers of all grades and classes, but they were exceedingly popular among the people of France. The J. O.
