Official Organ of the Supreme Lodge Committee Knights of Pythias N.A., S.A., E.,A.,A. & A The St. Louis Argus TROOPS REMAIN IN EAST ST.LOUIS An Appeal By Business Men To Secretary Baker Brings Desired Results. Plants Operating With Full Force. Leading Citizens Say Place Is Safe But Employees Are Doubtful. VOL. VI. NO. 15 TROOPS IN EAST An Appeal By Busi tary Baker Brid Plants Operati Leading Citizen But Employees Last week when it was learned the troops would be withdrawn from East St. Louis July 25, to be mustered into the regular army, it caused quite a deal of unrest among the white as well as the Colored people of that city. As a result quite a number of Colored people moved their families away in anticipation of another outbreak. The business men, becoming alarmed at the seriousness of the situation, immediately sent a committee to Springfield to consult Ajt. General Dickerson; also to Chicago to consult Major, Gen. Barry, commanding the Central Army Division, and to Secretary of war Baker, requesting that the companies be permitted to remain. The members of the committee wired the heads of the firms Saturday that their request had been granted and to give every assurance to their Negro employees that they would be amply protected and also give the matter the widest possible publicity. This seemed to have an tendency to quiet things down and the plants have been working full force during the past week. MOVING PICTURES OF RACE RIOT WILL BE SHOWN AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER THIS SATURDAY NIGHT. Moving pictures of the scenes in the East St. Louis Riot will be shown at the Booker Washington Theatre this Saturday night July 28. The pictures are authentic and are worth going miles to see. They will be with other pictures and vaudeville Saturday night only. N.A.A.C.P.RIOT FUND GROWING Total Amount Donated to Date Is $717.40. $149.19 Spent on Immediate Relief Work The activities of the St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancements of Colored people are proceeding with unabated vigor. It is generally conceded that little or nothing is to be expected from the East St. Louis authorities in the way of bonafide prosecutions of the rioters. Therefore the burden falls upon us. The militant chacter of this organization will not allow it to remain passive in the face of so great a responsibility. All you who value your liberty and cherish the aspirations of the free born must lend your moral and financial support to the organization that will not keep silence in the presence of ruthless assault upon the lives and property of its people, and that will leave no stone natured to bring the guilty rioters to justice to the end that it may establish without challenge the right of Colored men to order their lives after the manner of the highest type of free and law-abiding citizens. Every man, every woman, every child of color is vitally concerned in the legal investigation and punishment of the East St. Louis rioters. Therefore without delay contribute your part of the two thousand dollars needed by the N. A. A. C. P. to do this work. The committee on finance submits the following report of receipts to date for the East St. Louis Refugee Relief Fund: Amounts previously reported... $507.65 Martha Gruening... 10.00 W. T.

Moneley to date: Amount previously reported... $116.52 Mike Berniger for moving Mrs ARGUS REPORTER INVESTIGATES After making several trips to the East Side and thoroughly investigating the riot and the conditions that led up to it, an Argus reporter finds, according to the best information obtainable, that it was a "hired"" mob, backed by the Police and City Officials, and that the labor unions saw their plans to tie up the big commercial industries would be futile unless they succeeded in dispensing with the Negro labor. There is also an idea prevalent among the manufacturers that German influences have been conspicuous around all plants contributing to the necessities of war. Rev. De Shields, pastor St. Paul Baptist Church of East St. Louis, advised the people, in a sermon last Sunday, to return to their homes as he had received every assurance that they would be protected and those who had lost property, such as clothing and furniture, would be replenished free. This opinion voices the sentiment of all the leading citizens, but the laboring classes are inclined to doubt, and are slow about returning. MEN RETURN FROM FORT DES MOINES TRAINING CAMP Twelve of the Missouri men who have been in training at the Fort Des Moines, Iowa, Officers*Camp, returned to their homes during the past week. Failing to pass the rigid examinations was the cause. These examinations, of course, are tests of the physical as well as mental ability of the students. Those who returned were: Edward Lias (Wm. H. Banks, Jas. A. Williamson and W. H. Owens of St. Louis); Alvin Jordan, Edward S. Baker, Jr., Prof. J. M. Horton, Dr. J. Franklin Wilson, Attorney Booker and J. F. Bradley Jr. of Kansas City; Virgil J. Schweick of Boonville; and Dr. J. C. Tymony of Columbia. Returning candidates seen by the Argus reporter say they have no "kick" coming. The work is hard and strenuous and naturally some have to fail. The process of elimination is now in full force after six weeks' training. Examinations are held every Monday and many will drop out between now and September. Dr. Charles E. Herriot. - a physician with offices at 4300 North Market street, has been appointed a captain in the Medical Officers' Reserve Corps, United States Army. He is awaiting orders to proceed to the training emp under direction of the Medical Department. COLORED PLAYGROUNDS The Colored Playgrounds of the city are slowly increasing. The opening of the Dumas Ground made two appointments necessary. Pine-St., the oldest Ground has. Mr. Gerald Tyler as director and Misses Hattie Lewis and Sarah Marshall, assistants. Kennerly Ground, Mr. A. J. Goasin, director; Misses Helen McWhorter and Jennie Mack assistants. Dumas Ground, Mr. Elmer Burgess, director; Mrs. Nellie Agge and Miss Felicia Stevens, assistants.

No. One Will be Compelled to Render Service Saturday July 28 is registration for Council of Defense and signing of the Hoover Pledge by all females over 15 years. The women of the 23rd Ward are endeavoring to have the pledge of every woman in the Ward. Mrs. Nellie Agee, Registrar; Mesdames Stafford, Major, Hollman and Misses E. Parker, F. Stevens, B. Tyler, S. Gossin, I. Dixon, N. Miller, assistants. J. Gordon, L. Cummings and M. Gurtis are making a house to house canvass under the auspices of the Food Conservation Committee. The following Registrars and their assistants in other wards are working just as earnestly to enlist the women: 6th Ward—Mrs. H. A. Smith, Registrar; Mrs. Jas. Morehead, Mrs. Lindell Jones, Mrs. C. Bryant, Mrs. E. Reynolds, Misses Mildred Mills, Fannie Foster, Arvella Tyler, Dorothy Payne, Agnes Todd. 12th Ward—Mrs. M. Anthony, Registrar, Mesdames, Casey, P. Hayden, C. James, Misses M. Taylor, C. Marshall, 16th Ward—Mrs. M. L. Liggins, Registrar, Miss Bernice Bailey, Mrs. Polly Jordan, Miss Ada Jones. 17th Ward—Mrs. J. W. Myers, Registrar, Mesdames B. L. Saunders, H. Davis, J. H.

They have been getting pledges from the women who are willing to carry out the directions and advice of the Food Administrator in the conduct of their household. The object is to prevent the wasting of food. Mrs. H. A. Smith registrar of the 6th ward, reported 1,000 pledges, Thursday morning. The names of the registrars for registration day, Saturday, under the auspices of the Council of National Defense could not been had in time for publication. The women are asked to go to the regular precinct polling places Saturday, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and register their willingness to do some kind of service if needed. This registration does not compel any service, but merely aids in classifying the women according to their ability and desires. ADVANTAGE TO WOMEN There are a thousand ways in which women can be employed after the men have been taken from their positions. Women who register Saturday will practically be making applications for positions they desire. The government will know just what they are capable of doing and who to appoint to certain duties without the loss of time. Of course many who can afford will volunteer their service, but the opportunity is especially bright for those seeking employment. Every women should register Saturday. C. M. E. Church at Detroit Mich. C. M. E. Church at Detroit Mich. The C. M. E. Church members who have moved here from other cities hailed with delight the coming of Bishop R. A. Carter of Atlanta, Ga., and Editor J. Arthur Hamlet of Jackson, Tenn., last week. They perfected an organization and purchased a beautiful brick church and parsonage from The Evangelical Association. It is a magnificent edifice and the property is worth $25,000. Editor J. Arthur Hamlet conducted the first services in the church Sunday and received a large number of members into the church. The church is anxious that the Bishops Council be held here in October. The legal side of transferring this property was ably looked after by Attorney O. S. Mosley of this City, Mr. Mosley is formerly of Topeka, Kansas, and is making good in his profession here. Over Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars for Building and Equipment.

A. A. C. P.—A CONSISTENT STAND From the Boston Guardian To the Editor of the Guardian, Sir: I have just read with regret, but without surprise, that the Red Cross persists in carrying out the odious, unreasonable and unjust policy of discrimination against the Negro. This is, of course, because their mean discrimination finds much favor among, and is indeed, I believe, dictated by the highest political authorities of this country, who seem to be so eager to make the world safe for the poor, the weak and the helpless—under the name of democracy—abroad, that the murder of a hundred innocent Negroes at home has not yet been observed or commented on; much less has any expression of regret been heard, where most of it is demanded. Refuses to Aid Red Cross Further Within the last week, I have had many requests to aid the Red Cross. I have decided to refuse to do so, because of its attitude towards the Negro. Red Cross Dividends to N. A. A. C. P. As, however, I have no desire to keep-the Red Cross dividends—so-called—which I am receiving, I here pledge myself to present to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a sum of money equal to the entire amount of Red Cross dividends which may reach me on or before the first day of September. A Word on the Guardian I consider the "Guardian" an excellent, puffspoken, but not extreme publication; I hope it will have a long, prosperous and useful life. Very respectfully, Philip G. Peabody. July 9, 1917, N. B. (Editor Trotter takes special sprite in the fact that his fight in 1903 first brought Mr. Peabody into the cause of the race. Editor Trotter also thinks the N. A. A. C. P. branches in view of Mr. Peabody's stand should refuse to sew for the Red Cross.) CARONDELET NEWS Rev. G. A. Conway was with us Sunday and spoke to a very appreciative congregation' at Corinthian.

This report also shows that there bad and in many cases, houses that have and are in a delapidated condition, have people, without repair. Course, is due principally to the influx of Nazi following the recent race riot. These tenantable before the recent influx, but then many and avoided the delapidated ohes.

Change for better, and now with the increased conditions demand immediate action on the department of this city. Every days delay is there are needed, we would suggest that a little wars will reveal startling conditions. It is According to a recent investigator, it has been found that housing conditions among the colored people have become very much congested in this city. This report also shows that sanitary conditions are bad and in many cases, houses that have been vacant for years and are in a delapidated condition, have been rented to colored people, without repair. This of course, is due principally to the influx of Negroes from East St. Louis following the recent race riot. These houses were practically untenantable before the recent influx, but the renter had his choice of many and avoided the delapidated ohes. We have a law in this city which deals with sanitation and health. In an address before a colored audience recently Dr. Stockloff painted out the danger of unsanitary conditions. He said he favored a change for better, and now with the increasing population, the conditions demand immediate action on the part of the Health Department of this city. Every days delay is costly. If specific cases are needed, we would suggest that a little work of a few inspectors will reveal startling conditions. It is really worth while. JOINT RESOLUTION. ing the resolution offered by Hon. L. C. Dyer, teaching a Federal offense, a similar resolution by the Hon. Mr. Dallinger, of Massachusetts, pleased to know that at least some one has found themselves) with the courage to offer such resolutions in the councils of the Government outrages committed against colored citizens, at East St. Louis, Illinois, have set the thirteenth crimes were committed that the average man. It is now clearly seen what may happen at the United States unless something is done, always found themselves either unable or not and property when the mob spirit was on the equal protection of the United States has in all such cases. It is the duty of the Government to stop power and put a stop to such practices. Mr and Mr. Ballinger are perfectly right when XIV of the Amendments to the Federal Court "No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law, nor deny to any person on the equal protection of the laws. The day but the enforcement of the law is weak is the passage of the "Dyer Bill" that will in the responsibility. Sentiment in favor of law and order should be for the resolution that it should pass with any colored man, woman and child lend their representative in Congress and Senate use the resolution. This is the one step in the way of light is seen in it. Let all support it. Following the resolution offered by Hon. L. C. Dyer of this city to make lynching a Federal offense, a similar resolution has been introduced by the Hon. Mr. Dallinger, of Massachusetts. We are pleased to know that at least some one has been found (or some one has found themselves) with the courage of their convictions, to offer such resolutions in the councils of the nation. The recent outrages committed against colored citizens of the United States, at East St. Louis, Illinois, have set the thoughtful to thinking. Crimes were committed that the average mind thought impossible. It is now clearly seen what may happen at any time or at any place in the United States, unless something is done. Local officers have always found themselves either unable or unwilling to protect lives and property when the mob spirit was once started. The constitution of the United States has in all such cases been flagrantly violated. It is the duty of the Government to step in with its unlimited power and put a stop to such practices. Mr. Dyer and Mr. Ballinger are perfectly right when they say that Article XIV of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution provides that "No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The law covers the case fully but the enforcement of the law is weak. What is needed now is the passage of the "Dyer Bill" that will in the future be able to fix the responsibility. Public sentiment in favor of law and order should be so overwhelmingly for the resolution that it should pass with very little opposition. Let every colored man, woman and child lend their influence, by writing their representative in Congress and Senate urging their support of the resolution. This is the one step in the right direction. A ray of light is seen in it. Let all support it. EAST ST.

They have found a gigantic scheme was under way to tie up the city in the near future.

The business men and the business interest at East St. Louis seem to have awakened to the real situation in that city, and now are found very busy putting forth extraordinary efforts to prevent another outbreak of lawlessness there. They have found by investigation that a gigantic scheme was under way to tie up all the industries of the city in the near future. The promoters realized the necessity of an almost unanimous co-operation of employees in order to make the scheme a success, but found too much loyalty in the Negro to make him a part of the plot; therefore, they decided to drive the Negro out. The business interests will do well to offer every possible protection to those who are most faithful in every emergency, ere they find their hands tied.

The first suggestion is that God 1: what he is. In the text he is represent ed as having purpose and that it {s !m. Possible to change that purpose ; every. thing he purposes goes through to the end. God himself claims that his-coun- - Sel shall.stand, and he is the, first sind he is the last, and-besides’him there ig no other God. - He aske of men that they be still and know-that he is God, ‘and he will-be exalted in the earth.

All nations before "hini a¥e.as nothing and vanity, and he caltteth upon the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are ‘as grasshoppers. Paul chided the {ntel- Jettual Athenians because they seemed to. init God ke unto gold and silver, and Job sald in ancient: times that 9 man. is foolish who strives against God, for he does:not give account of any of his matters, and again and again does the Bible represeat God in bis.infinite reative power as speaking, and ma- terial’ things; worlds. ang universes “even spring into being. : | The proper thought of God will take, away the despair that often comes, to men as they ‘contemplate the world about them. -Never:in the history of the race were the affairs of men in such ruin gs today.

The word “Ho” 4s..perhaps an abbreviation of the word “Hold,” used to excite attention. This Intitation-ts ‘extended to, every one:* (a) the “thirsty,” to those who are needy; (b) the poor aud the rich; those “without money,” and the supply is abundant, even as the water. Every one is invited without Imitation or distinction. The greatness of a man's spirit is medsured by the numbers of his desires and thirsts, by thelr. qual- ities and by his capacities of the in- tensity of hig thirst. Those invited were, to hav? “wine.”"a lusury, and “milk,” .a: staple necessity, without money and without price. “The cur- rency of the kingdom of Heaven is, grace (v, 1): (2) Who Witt Come? (v3).

EXCELLENT BILL AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE An excellent bill with unusual variety is on the board at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Herman Taylor, in the character of a tramp, opens the show with a parody on "Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula." He follows with a humorous story of an arrest and closes with a parody on "What Do. You Want. To Make Those Eyes At Me For," with dance; appearing in a grotesque female costume. The act goes well. Princess Myateris, a wonderful telepathic artist, is playing a return engagement in her art of mind reading. She is assisted by the prince, who mingles with the audience and touches articles belonging to the patrons, which she accurately describes. The princess also answers questions secretly asked her assistant. Their rapid fire conversation not only astounds the big audiences, but the answers seem to satisfy the questioners and the patrons are convinced that the hidden power is beyond doubt. Special acuency is hased and the act is creating a sensation. Bessie Brown, a character actress, has three very creditable numbers in her repertoire. She has good expression, is attractive and scores a talling effect with her efforts. "Old St Riddle," a rural song and "Creatore" an Italian characterization are both artistically given. She closes with "What Makes You Hold It So Long," a love plea. Zollie Ford and Ethel Reed, in a comedy sketch "The Coal Heavet," have a moral lesson on the unappreciative wife and the hard working husband. It's the same old story that works out to the satisfaction of the wronged one in the end. It affords much room for comedy and Mr. Ford makes the best of this. They sandwich in a couple of good songs and close with a "Shimme Shewabble" prince that leaves the house in a spasm of applause. Motion pictures of the East-St. Louis Race Riot will be shown at the Booker Washington Theatre this Saturday evening, Aug. 28. There will be no advance in prices. The Booker Washington has a Bell phone, Bomont 2208, installed for the convenience of its patrons. Printing! Call Bomont 1452.

THE "GRAY GHOST" IS COMING Mysterious Criminal, Will Thrill Booker Washington Theatre Goers Every Monday Night Beginning Next Week. Photoplay Taken From Saturday Evening Post Serial Story "Loot." Charles Turpin, proprietor of the Booker Washington Theatre has established a reputation as a photophy critie, which was indorsed by the great throng that crowded the theatre for hours last Monday night to see the final of "The Voice On The Wire." Commencing next Monday, Mr. Turpin will introduce another mystery "The Gray Ghost." One would naturally shudder at the very name, but this does not begin to reveal the startling elimixms that are in store for the picture fans. This-play is taken from the famous Saturday Evening Post serial story, "Loot." It is full of enthralling situations, gripping scenes, marvelous action of extraordinary swiftness, and punches galore. Its startling scenes and intensely dramatic incidents lead up to a tremendous climax, that holds the audience spellbound. The story revolves around a series of robberies and murders. It has a soul-stirring love theme. A beautiful actress is in the power of the arch criminal, the Gray Ghost. He is madly in love with her and though she despises him, she is constantly in his company. Scene upon scene of startling power follows in hair raising succession, until the mystery of the Gray Ghost is cleared. A big east of brilliant stars were chosen to present this swiftest, most gripping and yet most interesting photoplay that has even been produced. The first episode will be shown at the Booker Washington next Monday July 30. The theatre will open at 5 o'clock and the first show starts at 6:30. Come early and avoid the big crowd that will come later. Drake-Walker's Bom Bay Girls are coming to the Booker Washington Theatre next Monday, July 30 for a two weeks engagement. This is the largest and most expensive attraction ever booked at Mr. Turpin's popular house. The company consists of 17 players and carries its own band and orchestra. The following special admission prices have been decided on for this engagement only. Children 10 cents, adults 15 cents, reserved section 20 cents, box section 25. A band concert will be given in front of the theatre each evening. A new Monday schedule has been effective at the theatre for several weeks. The house opens at 5 p. m. and the first show starts at 5:30. Four instead of the usual three shows are given. Next Monday will see the first episode of the thrilling serial photoplay "The Gray Ghost" and the fifth-installment of Official War Pictures will be run on Wednesday.
