Executive Bushes to Scene by Special Train. Gives Mob "A Chance to Lynch Him First." Whites Had Attempted to Prevent Trial of Negro. Murray, Ky., Jan. 11.—In line with his announced intention to give the mob "a chance to lynch the governor of Kentucky first." Governor A. O. Stanley arrived here early today and took charge of the situation growing out of the threats made yesterday by a mob against the lives of Circuit Judge Charles Bush and Commonwealth Attorney Denny Smith. The special train on which Governor Stanley arrived was left standing with steam up, ready to take them from Murray if further demonstrations were made against their lives. Open threats were made on the streets that any attempt to remove Judge Bush from Murray or to prevent the trial of Lube Martin, a negro, charged with killing Guthrie Dugiuid, a white man, would place the governor's own life in danger. It was because of a continuance granted yesterday by Judge Bush, in the case of Martin, that the anger of the mob was aroused. Immediately after the continuance was ordered Martin was spirited out of Murray and taken to-Padueac for safekeeping. SLAYER IS TRIED, CONVIOTED, SENTENCED IN 90 MINUTES Texarkana, Ark., January 15.—John Hawkins, a negro, today was tried, convicted and sentenced to be electrocuted all within an hour and a half, for the murder of Mrs. Ben Diles and her 18-months-old daughter, at Ashdown, Ark., November 3.

DePriest Named In Graft Charge Chicago, Ill., Jan. 18.—State's Attorney Hoyne last night exploded a new bombshell in his war on police corruption and connivance with the underworld. He exposed a new alleged graft ring—separate and distinct from the West Side ring of which former Chief of Police Healey is charged with being the head. He named Oscar DePriest Negro alderman from the Second ward, one of the spokesmen for the city administration, as being its director. Its operations, he charged, were confined to the big "Black Belt." The tribute it levied on gamblers and saloon-keepers, he charged, totaled thousands. Others named were Capt. Healy, one of the city's best-known policemen; Teenan Jones, politician, gambler and "brains" of the ring; "Big Bill" Lewis and several others. All are colored except Captain Healy. The revelations strike directly into the city hall, where De Priest has been one of the administration leaders and one of the council floor leaders for Mayor Thompson. Negro Prosecutor Aids Mr. Hoyne and Edward E. Wilson, a Négro assistant state's attorney, presented the evidence yesterday before the grand jury, and examined a score of witnesses PARLOR SOCIAL There will be a parlor social of the Woman's Guild, of All Saints Church at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Maxwell, 4288a Lucky, Thursday evening, January 25. Dancing and refreshments. Admission, 10 cents. Mrs. Mattie Grady, Chairman. Mrs. J. Shipton, secretary.

Was Re-elected to Office by Large Majority. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People on December 30, presented a loving cup to Sherman Eley, county sheriff at Lima, O. The trophy was given in recognition of Sheriff Eley's bravery in defending a colored man accused of a crime or misdemeanor from being lynched by a mob of white people. This is the first time that a sheriff of any county has been so honored, it is said. The inscription on the loving cup reads, "For devotion to duty in defending a colored prisoner from lynching, enduring torture and insult, that the majesty of the law might be upheld, at Lima, Aug. 30, 1916." The presentation of the cup was made by Governor Frank B. Willis before a crowd that filled the Second Baptist Church. He said that the world loves and appreciates a man who stands squarely with a heart unafraid and his face to the front at times of stress and that public appreciation never is small for the faithful official who stands for the administration of the law and the enforcement of justice. The sheriff was too moved to say more than simple thanks in accepting the cup. Prior to the presentation, however, he told friends that what he had done hardly called for action by the Advancement Association, because he had only done his duty. As a result of the Lima riot many arrests were made, some of the indictments being against well known citizens. Several of these have been sent to prison on charges of having attempted to lynch. Other cases are pending. A colored man of the name of Daniels has been given a penitentiary sentence. Sheriff Eley, at the last election was returned to office by a big majority. Dr. J..H. Crooks At Lane Tabernacle THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL SERVICE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 3 P. M. FOR YOUNG@PEOPLE, CONDUCTED BY GREAT EVANGELIST The pastor, Rev. N. L. Smith, and members of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, 3966 Fairfax Ave., are engaged in a great battle against sin and Satan. The Rev. J. H. Crooks, of Clarksville, Tenn., though a young man, is one of the greatest evangelists of his day. He is wonderful in his delivery and powerful in his speech. Rev. Crooks has served several charges in Tennessee and Kentucky and has been the means of bringing many souls to Christ through his great gift of preaching. This Gospel preacher and evangelist will have charge of the meeting. His songs are full of religious fervor which carries with it the proper touch which stirs the hardest heart. Dr. Crooks will preach Sunday at 11 a. m. Subject, "The Gateway into the Kingdom." At 3 p. m. there will be a special service held for the young people, conducted by Dr. Crooks, assisted by Dr. Smith. The subject at this hour will be "Customs of Jesus."

There will be a special prayer service every afternoon at 3 o'clock. Let every member and Christian join in and help fight sin and crime in this great and wicked city. On last Tuesday night a very enthusiastic and interesting church conference was held. After the adjournment, the pastor, president of Steward Board, and Board, Stewardess Board No. 2 were highly entertained by Stewardess Board No. 1. All left, having spent a pleasant and profitable evening. NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE A grand reception was tendered Noble I. H. Bradbury, retiring Potentate of Medinah Temple 39, January 6, 1917, at Masonic Hall by the Nobles of this city. During the administration of Noble Bradbury this order, Locally, had a phenomenal growth in membership, and every shriner felt proud to honor such a Noble. One of the largest gatherings in the history of the Temple were present to give their Old Sheka, their retiring officer, the glad E. Alaam Slam-Pooh. A four-course menu was served with cigars and a few other trimmings. Secure a nice, warm, furnished room for the winter. Consult the Advertising columns in the Argus. Y.W.C.A. NATIONAL WORKERS MEET Week Spent at Wheatley Branch in Real Work for Uplift and Spiritual Development. Miss Eva D. Bowles, International Secretary. January the sixth we were awakened by a gentle tapping on our chamber door which told us that our looked-for friend and visitor, Miss Eva D. Bowles, had come. GREAT AWAKENING AT CENTRAL BAN Big Men's Mass Meeting at T D'Clock Sunday. Special Sermon Women Sunday Morning. The long-expected soul-winning pignon has started at the Co Church, Ewing and Washington A nnes. Dr. A. C. Powell, of New Y the noted evangelist, preached his sermon of the series on last We Sunday began the real spirit of the Educational Institute which lasted throughout the week and is still afame. Tuesday morning the members and friends gathered in the parlor to listen to Miss Bowles' message on "Membership." The new faces seemed to catch the first deep draught of inspiration which followed throughout the meeting. There was a great awakening in this meeting and questions which had hovered in the minds and puzzled many, poured forth bringing a better understanding of real Association Membership. This meeting was repeated at four o'clock for those who could not be present in the morning. Wednesday brought a getting together on "Association Purpose" which was equally as interesting as the first. The purpose of bringing all women to a knowledge of Jesus Christ and how to fulfill that purpose was clearly brought out. In the Thursday meetings "Association Responsibility" was discussed, which made a deep impression and everyone went away feeling a deeper responsibility for the association and its great purpose. Mrs. Walter Cannon held a community parlor meeting on Friday morning in which we emphasized how the people of the community might become more acquainted with the "Association Purpose" and prepare themselves to meet the needs of all the people of the community, thereby sharing in this great world movement for the welfare of girls and women. Another parlor meeting was held in Mrs. Frank Williams' home on Saturday afternoon and a deep interest was shown in the grouping of women after the general discussion to work out problems that were presented in the discussions of the week. We are planning to continue these parlor meetings in the different communities. We are sure that this institute has meant a great deal to all who attended and we want the spirit that it created to keep alive throughout the year. We believe that the women now feel that the work should be shared by all the women of every community, and it can come into its own or fill its place in the community only so far as every woman shares it. We shall then come to realize that we are a part of the greatest organization in the world for women. Beginning February the first there will be given at Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. a course in housekeeping. The first ten applicants may have the training free of charge. All others will be required to pay five dollars for twelve lessons or fifty cents for one. Positions are waiting. Good wages are offered. Who will be the first ten? There was a membership meeting on Sunday. Mrs. Coleman gave the Bible lesson.

"SALAMBO" NEXT WEEK "SALAMBO" NEXT WEEK $600 A YEAR This is the Record J. D. Wilkerson Argus Newsboy, Expects to Make in 1917. Present Income $569.40 or $45 a Month. 1 JOHN D. WILKERSON A little over two years ago, J. D. Wilkerson started selling the Argus on the streets of St. Louis, with very little encouragement except a live, newsy weekly paper and a determination to succeed. He began by selling 10 copies a week but has continued to increase that number, by adding a few more customers each week until he now handles nearly four hundred copies each week. It only requires a little more than a day to dispose of his lot. Considering the very short time required the job looks easy, but it requires intelligence and tact to sell that many Negro newspapers on the street, almost in one day. Many boys, some older and some younger, have tried and failed. One boy is selling his 15 each week just as he did two years ago. Fifty Dollars a Month is the goal he expects to reach this year, an amount that many men are working for in St. Louis, giving all of their time. How He Does It The method is simple; in the first place, young Wilkerson is ambitious and industrious. He is courteous in his treatment of his customers and at all times sees that they receive the Argus each week. He also keeps a list of his customers. He is a pupil in the High School of this city and is well up in his studies. He has a bright prospect for a useful career. CARONDELET NEWS Mr. H. G. Parris departed Inst. Wednesday night for his home, New York City.

Mrs. Maggie White, an old resident of Carondelet has moved from West Belle to her old home, 6109 Idaho. She says this is the garden spot of St. Louis. She was also heard singing, "There is no place like home—Home, Home, Sweet Home." On Friday, January 5, Mrs. Geo. Johnson entertained in honor of her niece, Viola Taylor, with a whist and a dance. The younger set wore out in a mass. At a wee hour all departed having spent a very pleasant evening.

PRICE 5 GENTS Most Magnificent and Wonderful Six Reel Picture Ever Produced, Will Be Shown At The Booker Washington Theatre Next Week Beginning Jan. 22. Matinees Daily Beginning Monday, With Other Pictures, General Admission 10c. Night Shows With Vaudeville at Regular Prices. "Salambo" a most magnificent and wonderful six-reel photoplay will be shown at the Booker Washington Theatre all next week with daily matinees, beginning at 2 o'clock. This picture, which it is said cost a half million dollars to produce, features a Negro in the leading role of "Spendius." The scene is laid in Carthage. Salambo, daughter of Amilcar, ruler of Carthage, and Priestess of Tanit, is the keeper of the Sacred Veil, "on which human eyes must not gaze." She falls in love with Matho, a slave, who becomes the leader of a band of mercenaries, fighting for Carthage, against Rome. Matho steals the Sacred Veil and Salambo is ordered by he priests to reclaim it. The lovers meet in Matho's tent and Salambo revokes the Sacred Veil. Matho is made prisoner by the Carthaginians through the treachery of Narr Havas, who is rewarded by Amilcar for his treachery by the hand of his daughter, Salambo. Matho escapes from prison and death: and the Oracle of Tanit is made to declare, by the instrumentality of Spendius, Matho's faithful slave, that Matho is acceptable to the God and will one day govern Carthage. Salambo, who has protested against her marriage to Narr Havas, whom she does not love, is thereupon given by Amilcar, her father, to Matho, and the marriage ceremony is celebrated with much pomp. This great photoplay will be run in connection with other pictures at daily matinees, beginning Monday, for 10 cents admission. The night shows will start at 6 o'clock and the picture, with one of the best vaudeville shows ever booked at this house, will be shown at the regular prices. Y.M.C.A.

OHIO, SHERIFF . ‘The’ National Association for the Advancement 02 Voli’ has awarded a gold medal to Sheriff Ely of Lima, Ohio, for his gonrageous stand jn-protecting a Negro prisoner from a mob. This -officer of the law hay’set a good example for others to follow. He put his own life in'the breach, suffered tortures and assaults of ‘an angry mab rather, thant violate his oath of office. It must have been a very unpopulay-aet-on- the-part- of.the.sheriff who was expecting to°be re-elected to the ‘same offiee, by the very < ganie people awho composed the mob, “He niust have thought that he had.committed political suicide. But we are told that he has been re-elected to the office of sheriff for another term, The people have more confidence in him now than ever before. He has raised himself in their estimation, and the public opinion of the world is ready to reward him. 3 “Tt required bravery to withstand @ mob, and ip awarding the gold medal the N. A. A. C,P. did not do it for what they expect him to do in. the future nor. to bribe him to do his duty, but as a reward for bravery. A Carnegie medal has been sugwested for Sheriff Bly: And while his great service was not rendered directly to the Colored race, it was a valuable service to his (the white) rage. ‘The names, ‘of the members of the mob will soon be forgotten, ex- cept as their names are called in the penal institutions of their state dr when their names are mentioned.as “eonvicts.”” Bit the name of Sheriff Ely will always be lsuded and honored as a hero who ‘saved the Buckeye State from disgrace. = wr CAN'T RUN THE NEGRO OUT OR KEEP HIM OUT _ Ever and anon we get inklings of the second sober thee American white man which shows that, at heart, he is nearly all right. You would hardly believe but the other week ‘the Us:S; Senate ‘re- jected Senatof-Reed’s amendment to the immigration bill excluding \gatives ‘of Africa as immigrants to the United States, The vote was B to 32 against it. The West Indies exclusion was lost also and our ‘Missouri Misrepresentative- utterly - failed. in excluding , Negroes, either natives. of Afriea or the West Indies from immigrating to the United States. : : We, the Negroes of the United States, are charter members ; we are én-én-the foundex's.day and. have established an ineffaceable claim to our citizenship whieh eannot be destroyed. ° ‘The Negro-is"here-to stay, He is an inalienable citizen, and has'a claim that “has not been weakened by treasonable acts, which has been the the case with some of the supporters and ancestors of the Negro hating Senator of “Missouri. Bene : Z _ We American Negroes: have ne flag but the American, flag; that is our flag, our army, our navy, our constitution and our glory. It was not made such by poetic sentiment, but by bloody: deeds, we did net gain this by a Fourth of July oration, but on such battlefields as New ‘Orleans and San Juan. ee z ‘The Negro in America-must take his stand and not budge an inch. He must insist on Americanism: He may be robbed of his labor but not of his claims and rights. He must push to the front in all move- ments for Atheriea’s gain and power. He need constantly remind the white American than he is an American also and insist on being -counted-in;ait- movements. bringing honor to the nation. : . “Let us hawe preparedness and let the Negro participate in pre: +1 -muiltisnillions ace to be appropriated to establish schools to make soldiers, why not give the Negro, who is also called-on to-fight, 2 chance to be a soldier also. ee : : A great school, sustained by the nation to teach the Negro to be é soldier would be a magnificent contribution to~our-owlture...Dix cipline, Uniformity, Culture, Manhood, Physical Culture, Courage and Moral responsibility aré what military training teach, ¢ So give us a great National Military School.

Smith and wife of the Church of the Living God, were present Monday evening. He is the newly elected pastor of said church and will act as secretary of the Alliance. It is the purpose of this body to ensure a larger and combined influence for the churches of Christ in all matters affecting the moral and social condition of the people. Annual Party To The Graduates Mr. James W. Grant announces the informal party to the Summer High School graduates, January Class, 1917, their relatives and friends. This annual social event of the winter season will take place at the Pythian Hall P. Auditorium, Friday evening, January 26, from 9 until 12 p. m. The dance program will consist of all the popular numbers of this season including the newest sensation "The Honolulu Schottische." These parties are always looked forward to with pleasant anticipation by the lovers of the terpischore. They are usually the climax in social brilliance and this season's will be no exception, to the rule. DUMAS SCHOOL GRADUATES The graduating exercises of Dumas School will take place in the school kindergarten Thursday, January 25, at 1 p. m. Members of the Graduating Class Bessie C. Davis, Christina Felix, Helen C. Sedric, Laura E. Wilson, Fannie Young, Allen E. Hunter, James E. Jackson, Arthur U. McClelland, O. C. Winn. The normal graduating exercises of Summer High School will be held on the evening of the 23rd at 8 p. m. in the auditorium. The High School graduating exercises will be on Wednesday, the 24th. The graduating exercises of the Cottage Ave., Portables will be held on Friday, January 25, at 9 a. m. METROPOLITAN NOTES This year the campaign will be conducted by the Rt. Rev. Lyman W. Kyles, Bishop of the Seventh Episcopal institute, of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Bishop Kyles has conducted some of the most successful revivals in the history of the church. This is his first attempt in a meeting of this kind in the city of St. Louis. Being the only residential Bishop of our race in the city, it is believed that the citizens of our great city will appreciate the effort that Bishop Kyles is putting forth to get in touch with the lowly and the unsaved and the down-and-outs, as well as reaching the high and lofty. Bishop Kyles feels that his chief mission in the world is to help save the un His first sermon will be Sunday morning. He will continue then every evening during the revival. The church is being thoroughly organized to assist in this great meeting. We are calling for volunteer workers to assist in this great movement. Some great questions to be settled in the 4 o'clock afternoon meetings will be as follows: 1. What is meant by effectual, fervent prayer! 2. The necessity of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a preparation for Christian work. 3. What is repentance? 4. Will God heat a sinner pray? 5. Shall we know our relatives in heaven, if we know them here? The Metropolitan Brotherhood has been thoroughly organized upon permanent basis and it is destined to meet the ever-increasing needs of a great and growing metropolitan church. It has reached the proportion to give sick benefits to the amount of $2.50 per week, as long as the occasion demands and to give $25 toward the funeral expenses of a brother. That gives the church its place in the world of charity. The womanhood of our church will soon be organized into a similar organization. Rev. Shaw, the pastor, feels that the hard-worked women and men of the church, who are giving their time and money must be cared for in the midst of their illness and the unfortunate conditions that might come to them. The Brotherhood will have lunch on Monday evening at the close of the revival service that they might have a greater acquaintance and fellowship with one another.

NEW PENSION LAWS 2117 Market St. THIS STAR ON EVERY HEEL For Sale Do you think because you fall me, And draw back your hand today. That from out the heart I gave you My strong love can fade away? What would any man think of a man who came, courting his sister, season in and out out, but never made any pretentions of being a marrying man? That's the situation in many a family where young men have been calling for a year or more. The reason for not speaking out is often justifiable. The man may be waiting for a raise in his salary, or a score of other good reasons. Being sure that the girl he is [Name] calling on regularly is in love with him, he considers it justifiable to wait until he is good and ready to propose. It is a decided shock to such a lagard to see a stranger step in and in no time win the girl from before his very eyes. He has only himself to blame. There are a few little things about girls that men should remember. One is that their interest is keenest in a young man during the stage of their earliest acquaintance. After a girl has summered and wintered a man and he has not proposed, her interest begins to dwindle. She looks upon him Milk As a "Bracer" By DAVID STONE KELSEY The Pasteur institute of Paris makes the declaration that one of the most powerful stimulants known is milk. It has been in use for months now as the one stimulant for the French soldiers in the trenches, and its effect on them has amply justified the statement made by the famous institute in regard to it. Milk has been used liberally to stimulate the French soldiers before they go into battle and its effects have been such that the French government has urged the sale of milk in preference to other soft drinks behind the trenches when the soldiers go off duty for their spells of rest and recreation. That the qualities of stimulation should be demonstrated on the fighting men should commend the beverage to those engaged in the pursuits of peace in those parts of the world where Mars does not now rule. While alcohol may fire the brain and dull the sensibilities and thus impart a false courage, milk, according to the learned scientists of the Pasture institute, performs the work of keying up the individual without affecting the keenness of his senses or the coolness of his judgment. High courage and a clear perception of what they are doing is necessary for the best work in all the arts and professions, as well as in the handicrafts and in trade. This fluid hitherto has been considered synonymous with all that is mild and peaceful. Advocates of preparedness have referred to "these milk-and-water pacifiers." The "milk of human kindness" has no suggestion of powerful stimulation. But science has discovered, among its many wonders, that the patient cow has put a punch in milk that necessitates the addition of no product of the still to make itself felt on the human system. It has discovered a new and a harmless "bracer." Ancient Shrine Is Found. One of the most important archeological discoveries of recent years has just been made at Gounou near the vale of Tempe in Thessaly. The archeological society has just unearned what is plainly a sanctuary to the Goddess Artemis and among the articles found on the spot are some of the most remarkable votive offerings yet discovered. One hundred and thirty-eight marble shafts hear inscriptions, from which it is plain that the shrine was devoted to Artemis as a goddess of childbirth. "Artemis genitrix." Iron Duke's Doctor Still Living. It is rather bewildering to read in these days that one of the Iron Duke's medical attendants is still alive. Yet it is a fact. The victor of Amaya and Waterloo died in 1652, and it was in the year before that he was attended by a very young medical man attached to one of the London hospitals. Recently the doctor in question, Dr. Henry P. Holland, celebrated his eight-seventh birthday at Godalming—London Globe. as a friend, and begins to cast sheep's eyes on other men as possible beaux. No man should be too sure of a girl's love until he has placed a betrothed ring on her finger. Even then, he should see that the marriage is not put off too long. "A pretty girl once had one of these leggard lovers of whom she thought a great deal. But pop the question he would not. Her aunt advised her not to waste'time with him. At an afternoon affair, to which she had gone with girl friends, she met a new admirer, who escorted her home. They encountered the old beau. His jealousy was straightway aroused. The sight of her with another showed him how dear she was to him. The question faced him as to what life would be without her if another won her. He called that evening and lost no time in asking her to be his wife, declaring that an open confession was good for the soul. He had been too sure of her and because of that came near losing her. The wise girl does not devote all of her time to one caller. She treats him as she finds him—simply as a friend—until he has given her reason to be assured otherwise. There would be no long-drawn-out courtships which end in parting if girls pursued this plan. Men are at fault in calling upon one girl steadily when they have no serious intentions of matrimony. If they call upon many young women, making no secret of the fact, no one mailed is apt to build her hopes upon them, only to be disappointed at last. In Doubt "Do your views on public questions meet with your wife's favor?" "I've never been able to find out," answered Mr. Twobble. "Whenever I voice an opinion my wife merely hums a little tune. I don't know whether she does that to express disapproval, or merely to show that she isn't listening and doesn't intend to." Not Worth Mentioning. "Tommy, you've been fighting again." "I'd hardly call it that, ma." "But I saw you through the window. You struck that little Gilthers boy." "An' knocked 'im out the first lick. It takes two scrappers to make a fight, ma." Tough Luck. AIRPLANE "Hiram Shucker says a chap tried to sell him a skyscraper while he was up to the city last week." "Did Hiram fall fur that?" "Nope. But he fell in a coal hole while he was lookin' the durned thing over." "Conductor," said the fussy old lady, "are you sure this train will take me to Bunksville?" "I'm reasonably certain that it will, madam. I've been traveling this route for twenty years, and to the best of my knowledge Bunksville has never eluded us yet." "That has been the understanding hereabouts for the past fifteen years." answered the town gossip. A "I did five years an' learned a new trade." "Goin' ter re-form, eh!" "Naw, I'm goin' ter' quit second-story work an' be a counterfeiter." fellow," "So he is.

It is an in- allenable possession, a blessed, unal- terable fuct, that we have peace with God, tf Christ ts ours, But what now of this other peace which Christ gives?
