NO. 35 CONGRESS K. of P., After January 1st, Or Organization To Wear Unifor Worn by the U Navy Or Marin Major Jackson Issues The Law. Will O Half Million Dol Pythians. The following order, issued by the major general of the Knights of Pythias, thoroughly explains a drastic measure passed by Congress, which forbids uniforms, worn by secret lodges which are similar to the regular U. S. uniform: HEADQUARTERS UNIFORM RANK, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Jurisdiction of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia Office of MAJOR GENERAL 3300 South State Street Chicago, Ill., October 28, 1916. I. For the information of all Officers and Sir Knights of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A., & A., I have to inform you that at the last session of the Congress of the United States a law was passed, the same becoming effective July 1, 1916, known as the National Defense Act. Section 125 of said act prohibits the wearing by any person not an officer or enlisted man of the "duly prescribed Uniform of the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps or any distinctive part of such uniform or any part which is similar to a distinctive part of the duly prescribed Uniform." It further provides that such provisions shall not be construed "to prevent the members of military societies composed entirely of honorably discharged officers or enlisted men, or both, of the United States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, regular or volunteer, from wearing upon occasions of ceremony, the uniform duly prescribed by such societies to be worn by the members thereof." That the uniforms worn by members of the military societies and accepted organizations "shall include some distinctive mark or insignia to be prescribed by the Secretary of War to distinguish such uniform from the uniforms of the United States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps." II. Your Major General having secured a copy of the law (The National Defense Act) at an early date, the following letter was duly forwarded to The Adjutant General, United States Army: Chicago. Ill., July 24, 1916. From General R. R. Jackson. To the Adjutant General, U: S. A. Subject: Submitting Uniform Regulations of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias N. A., S. A., E., A., A., and A., and request permission to continue same. It has come to my knowledge that a bill has been passed by Congress affecting the wearing of Uniforms by all Organizations similar to those of the United States Army. As Major General of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, of North America, South America, etc., a secret organization, I submit herewith the uniform regulations of the said Organization and hereby make application to be permitted to wear said Uniforms and Equipment with such changes, if any, as you may direct and order. The Uniform Bank of the K. of P. etc., is a semi-military organization of 15,000 men, distributed throughout the entire United States, and it constitutes the military branch of said Order. The members are our very best citizens and are self-sustaining. They are taught Military Etiquette. Regulations, Drills, Ceremonies and Field Duties, administrative and tactical. The organization is made up into companies, battalions; regiments and brigades, and State Encumbrances are held each year and National Encumbrances every two years. The same at individual and organization expense. The training given these men has been helpful to our country, there being more than 800 of our members now serving in the Militia and Regular array at this time. The St. Louis Argus most of whom enlisted during the past three months for service in Mexico, and many of whom have been selected as non-commissioned officers and officers in the Militia on account of their efficiency and previous training. Memorandum Organizations to be designated by the Secretary of War as permitted to wear the uniform of the United States Army must comply with the following requirements: Organizations must be purely military. They must be composed of citizens of the United States or those who have declared their intention to become citizens. The object of the organization must be to so drill and train its members that they may be better able to take their places in the large armies that would be called out in case of great national emergency. The organization must be armed with the ride or other arm approved by the War Department. Some mark or insignia of a distinctive character must be adopted to be worn on the blouse or coat, or shirt when blouse or coat is not worn; also a distinctive hat band in lieu of a cord must be worn. Officers must not wear the insignia of rank prescribed for officers of the Army, Navy or Marine 'Corps. The insignia of rank prescribed for officers of educational institutions are recommended, with reference to which it may be stated that a circular setting forth what the Department regards as proper insignia for use at educational institutions and by military societies is now in course of publication, and copies will be furnished as soon as practicable to the institutions and societies concerned. By direction of the Secretary of War: H. P. McCAIN, The Adjutant General. (2432756, A. G. O.) War Department. This new act of Congress will cause a loss to the Uniform Rank of Colored Knights of Pythias, ambunting to nearly a half million dollars in clothing and equipment. DR. BOLDEN DIES Dr. H. T.

D One of the most interesting weddings of the season took place on Wednesday evening, Nov. 29, when Mr Felix Campbell, 4432 W. Belle, and Miss Mary.Dixon, of 4200 Finney Ave., were united in marriage at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Thos. Pope, with whom she lived. According to the invitations sent out, the ceremony was to have been performed at 9 o'clock, and quite a large number of friends of the young couple had gathered to witness the same, but, to the surprise of many, about 9:20, when the wedding match was played, instead of the minister preceding the couple, Mr. H. W. James came in, followed by the bride and groom, with all the attendants, and introduced Mr. and Mrs. Felix Campbell, saying that the ceremony had been DENTIST BEATEN IN LAW SUIT Mrs. Pearl Johnson gets $150 Verdict Against Dr. C. M. Hutchinson for Attempting to Force Her to Pay Bill She Did not Owe. A jury in Division No. 2 of the Circuit Court, over which Judge Daniel D. Fisher presides, returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Pearl Johnson, Wednesday, December 6, in the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, and against Dr. C. M. Hutchinson, whose offices are located at Market St. and Jefferson Ave. The case grew out of an attempt by Dr. Hutchinson to force Mrs. Johnson to pay him a dental bill which she claims she did not owe. Upon her refusal to pay, Mrs. Johnson alleges that the doctor locked her in his office and refused to let her out until the police arrived. She is corroborated in this statement by Miss Arabella Payne, who accompanied her to the dentist's office. Dr. Hutchinson denies that any such happening took place. The case went to the jury on the conflicting testimony of both parties, and the jury returned the verdict in favor of Mrs. Johnson. Dr. Hutchinson also testified that he had three chairs in his office, one of which he used to seat patients in to whom he was administering gas, one was for the exclusive use of white patients and the other for the exclusive use of negro patients. Mrs. Johnson was, represented by Geo. L. Vaughn and Homer G. Phillips, well-known negro attorneys. The facts in the case were thoroughly covered in the news columns of the Argus at the time the trouble occurred.

A sigh of disappointment was visible on the faces of most of the crowd which was quickly overcome when the bride ex- plained that it was in her original plan to have the unusual take place when she was married. Her friends soon forgave her, and the evening was spent in pleasure and congratulations. Only a few intimate friends and the families were present when the marriage took place.

ARRESTS WOMAN ON PHOTO Special Officer Ferd Waller, attached to Chief of Detective Allender's staff, has a good memory for faces. It enabled him to make a good arrest recently, when he picked up Mrs. Logan, or Saphora Lasley, who was wanted in Kansas City, Kansas, on a charge of murder. The woman had been introduced to Waller as a stranger in St. Louis. Within the next day or two a letter came from the chief of police of Kansas City with a picture of the Last lady woman enclosed. Waller recognized the picture as that of the woman he had met and he went at once and made the arrest. She was delivered to the Kansas authorities last Wednesday.

And the Sensational Photo-Drama "THE TROOPER OF TROOP K" or the FIGHTING TENTH CAVALRY AT CARRIZAL, MEXICO. "THE TROOPER OF TROOP K" Synopsis "Shiftless" Joe, unkempt and careless of dress, spends his last cent for flowers to give to Clara Holmes, a high school girl of good family, who, through a kind and humane act of Joe's, has taken a sisterly and charitable interest in him, and at every opportunity upbraids him for his shiftlessness, and advises on ways to better his condition. Jimmy Warner, an ardent admirer and chum of Clara's, is afforded good clothes and spending money—by his mother's untiring efforts over the washtub—and is quite a favorite among his sporty class of friends. Jimmy is not pleased with Clara's unselfish, broad-minded interest in Joe. Though he tolerates it, he ignores Joe. Clara induces Joe to secure a job, but his deep love and sympathy for animals causes him to be late at work. He finds the foreman very angry when he arrives and, being unfamiliar with this line of work and anxious to make good, Joe becomes excited and makes a botch of the whole affair to the humiliation of the foreman and other workmen. Joe, after being kicked off the job, seeks Clara to tell her of his ill luck. Clara is at home with Jimmy when Joe arrives and tells of his experience. Clara is a little disappointed with Joe, while Jimmy is thoroughly disgusted. Clara gets an idea from seeing her little brother playing soldier in the yard, that the Army, with its regularity, discipline and training would be a good thing for Joe. Joe being assured that he would get plenty to eat in the Army, straightway enlists, which is not at all displeasing to Jimmy. Several months later Joe is seen doing duty with Company K of the Tenth Cavalry near Casas Grandes, Mexico, while Jimmy, at home, is finding it not so very clear sailing with Clara. Although Joe is still a little crude and shifftless, he has won the heart of the Captain by his constant good nature and love and care of his horse. Through workings of the Army, Company K and Company C are drawn into a fight with Mexican troops at Carrizal. Joe distinguishes himself by heroic deeds during the fight, in rescuing his wounded Captain and making good their escape. Clara, reading in the papers of Joe's deeds and experiences denounces Jimmy for his false accusations. Joe is decorated for bravery and recommended for promotion. He arrives home on leave of absence and is welcomed by Clara with open arms. Noble M. Johnson as "Shiftless" Joe. Beulah Hall as Clara Holmes. Jimmy Smith as Jimmy Warner. "He finched not when the treacherous foe assailed him. Red-hot on flanks and front with hidden guns. His great, courageous spirit never failed him. Though trapped by Montezuma's murderous sons.

MEMBER e NATIONALON EGRO- | Ne oa : inwaenore rg Susanah Sees een sieeve mhevemdan Lae adie : ne THE = ROT . This story of the political colonization of the Negro. In ol North is all rot. It is not the shortness of the cotton crop nor the need of Negro votes to bring around Republican success in the North that causes this heavy migration of the Negro to the North. The eauses are the small wages paid the black workman of the South; it is the laxity of the law ih protecting thellife, limb, virture, property and liberty of the southern Negro; it is the mob, lynch: ing. burning of men to death, suppressing free speech and destrey- ing: the right of self-defence that is now forcing and has been, for a year, forcing the Negro to leave the South. The election is over and yet this kind of industrial colonization is going ‘on. At East St. Louis, weeks after the election, thousands of Negroes arrived from the South; at Birmingham, Ala., ten thousand Negroes left a few weeks aftersthe election. News has been spread abroad in the South that the business men of the North are calling for 3,000,000 Colored: laborers from the South, for whom they have work, paying higher wages, giving better protection and affording ampler facil- ities for the intellectual, moral and industrial advancement of the Negro race. The Democratic politicians know when they charge that the present large migration of the southern Negto to the North is a political colonization scheme that they are simply trying to cover their brazen vote stealing frauds with a falsehood that cannot stand a moments investigation : It is estimatydthe@already 100,000 Negroes have left Georgia for the North, that 4 million already have left the South and that instead of subsiding the movement grows larger and larger, as we get further away from the election. The leading white journals jn the South, Democratic-dailies ete., all complain of his exodus as affecting the industries of the South and disrupting the labor con- ditions, no mention is,made of it as a political colonization move- ment. They know its cause. : Bad treatment, low wages, mobs, inhuman outrages, poor schools, debased moral surroundings all are causes to make the Negro leave the South, same as made the Isrealites leave Egypt, the Irish leave Ireland, the Pilgrims leave England and the Jews leave Russia. 2 ties _ The effect of this Negro migration could not be felt in polities of the North, because none could register in the states of their destination, not having been there long enough. If this migration goes on a year longer and increases at the rate it is now going on, Jook out “that. the disfranchised Negro of the South, who is now the rejected stone. doesfnot become the chief stone pf the corner. ‘ The latest news from Mexico indicates that the natives have developed the United States civilization’ traita of burning a man at the stake and compelling his son to mitness the horrible deed. The victim was an American citizen. f Notice .to Taxpayers Taxes for 1916 dre now due. ~All money for taxes must be in the hands of Collector before close of business December 31st, to avoid‘pen- alties—added January Ist.

It is just as much importance for us ‘to take care of the pastor as it is to take care of the church. If we had clean, upright, God- sent deacons, deacons full of the holy gliost, I don’t think it would be s hard task for the members to see the necessities of taking eare ‘of the pas. tor, that is, if they have a pastor, ey- ery minister that bas a eburch isn’t & pastor, because a true, clean, up- right God-sent pastor will cheerfully share necessities with his people, No pastor will ‘expect to live up to the standards of the wealthiest, or’ should we expect him to live down to the standard of the poorest. Let us do our duty towards the church and pas- tor, and whatever galary we. promise to pay him, let us pay it because prom- ises are often. made, but very seldom kept. Christians, let us get our hearts fight, then we can take care of our pastors, We don’t. want. tho pastor to have a name of not paying: his debts. If we should give him a bushel of potatoes, a sack of meal or a sack of flour, don’t say we need not give him his salary, but let this be a per- sonal gift and the salary como by: it- self, 80 that he will have something to pay his debts, if he has made any. So, Christians, let us sacrifice ourselves to God and be just what Christ would have us be, then we can take care of our pastor, and they -won’t have to live on earth and board in heaven.

THEATRES REAL HIGH-GRADE BANNER SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON One of the banner shows of the season is playing to crowded houses at the Booker Washington Theater this week. The talent is of the best, with a repertoire covering a large variety of entertaining specialties. Pope and Dallas feature a slack-wire performance. The man does several difficult feats while balancing on a wire. He keeps a flow of wit going as he douss a complete outfit of street clothing, including shoes and plug hat. His loop-walking stunt is extra good. The lady sings a couple of songs and is well applauded. The act is a good one and a winner. Billie Nichols is everything from an original witty monologist to a full brass band. Besides singing, dancing and keeping the audience laughing with his rapid-fire humor he does some imitating that is extraordinarily good. He takes a whisk broom and plays a cornet solo and then astonishes his hearers with an almost perfect imitation of a bass violin with a broom and yard stick for effect. He also imitates a train, a street car and a whole brass band. This is a real big act. Burns' and Burns, Sandy and Gretchen, start the audience roaring right on the jump. This team is always up to date. They have a big stock of humorous dialogues that goes good and scores vociferous applause. Miss Burns, handsomely gowned, is both graceful and good looking. Her feature song "Under the Mellow Arabian Moon," is well presented with a rich voice. Mr. Burns gets a laugh with every word and mixes burrlesque enough with his work to keep the fun going. The set is making a tremendous hit this week. Alma Arliss, a white actress, opened the first half with a repertoire of three songs and scored nicely. Dorothy Hughes, another white singer, went on Thursday night for the latter half. She possesses a strong soprano voice and her trio of song numbers are being roundly applauded. The moving pictures of the Sumner-Macon football game are very interesting. They show the spectators in several groups, the Sumner boys and girls cheering their heroes, the teams in action and other scenes. Mr. Turpin informs us that the picture was finished and tried out in less than 24 hours after taking. This is the season of the year when football experts occupy themselves doping out All-American and All-Sectional football teams. It is noticeable that with few exceptions Pollard, the Negro half-back of Brown University, is one of the stars selected. GORCE COMBED & PRESENT FOOD The Purple Mask THE GREAT UNIVERSAL SERIAL ANOTHER SENSATIONAL SERIAL TO OPEN AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER ON X-MAS DAY. "The Purple Mask," another sensational serial of 16 episodes, will follow the "Yellow Menace" at the Booker Washington Theater, opening December 25, Christmas day. The well-known stars, Grace Canard and Francis Ford, feature this serial, and it, is claimed that the serial is greater than "Peg o' the Ring" or "The Broken Coin." The Universal Film Co. have surrounded these celebrated stars with the largest and most brilliant assemblage that has ever been collected.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all could know, yet longing for the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasin which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told.
