Smith and White, managers, & Shot well instructor PRICE 5 CENTS GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE AMAZED AT RIOT FACTS Damaging Evidence of Political Rottenness In East St.Louis Given Before Congressional Investigators. Mayor, Police And Militia Guilty of Neglect "My God!" exclaimed members of the Congressional Committee, during the Government investigation of the East St. Louis riot, Monday afternoon. The committee had been listening, in amazement at revelations being brought out by, the testimony and the exclamation came just after Paul Y. Anderson, a reporter for a St. Louis afternoon paper had testified that city cases were sent to Justices of the Peace and it was customary for the Chief of Police to make notations on the case papers indicating what the sentences should be. The Committee has heard with astonishment a mass of damaging evidence about the rottenness of East St. Louis. Anderson, among other statements, said: East St. Louis officials protected gambling; a secret inquest was conducted several days after the riot, reporters barred, and facts kept secret; Mayor Mollman made a physical attack on the reporter for publishing gambling facts; police and militia did not try to suppress ratters, but smashed cameras and photographs that would give evidence; soldiers and police were cowardly and cruel. Anderson also said, his observation was that the mob leaders were men of the type who loaf around wine rooms and other dives and the riot was brought about by a long reign of laxness. Other evidence showed that Negroes were assaulted on route between St. Louis and East St. Louis and while passing through the Illinois town, Packing house managers also testified to the serious interference with shipping. Col. Tripp, leader of the militia during the riot, said Mayor Mollman "abdicated" his office the day of the riot and was afraid to go out on the streets. During the taking of the testimony the city officials have been severely criticized by members of the committee. Such remarks as: "I never heard of such a thing," "this is one of the most extraordinary and most serious things I ever heard of," and "it is almost incredible," have been frequently heard. No evidence has been obtained to prove that Negro strikebreakers were imported to East St. Louis. The committee was much perturbed over the threats of Justice of the Peace Brady against Anderson on account of his testimony. Brady will be required to stand trial before the bar of the House' of Representatives early in December, on a charge of contempt. RIGHT WRITES SENTENCED SO. Eight men are on trial in Belleville, Ill., this week charged with arson during the East St. Louis riot. Eighteen persons have been sentenced to dates ten Negroes to 14 years each for the murder of a detective; three white men to 14 years, John Gow and Charles Hanna to 15 years, Harry Robinson, on a plea of guilty to five years. Robinson's plea was made after the jury failed to agree at his trial. Several witnesses who swore to Robinson being at other places during the time of the murder charged to him will have to face the charge of perjury since Robinson's plea. Two white women have been fined $20 each and will have to serve these fines in jail. One 17 year old girl was freed because of evidence she furnished the state. The state, Thursday, dropped its charges of uproan against 18 men because of the refusal of the Federal officials to permit soldiers wanted as witnesses to leave Texas to testify. Sixteen of these men will be tried for conspiracy. One woman was sentenced to thirty days in jail on a plea of guilty of rioting and a Negro, charged with being in the mob which shot a police sergeant, was declared insane and ordered sent to the asylum at Chester.

The Congressional Investigating Committee that has been in session during the week at East St. Louis, making inquiry into the race riot which took place in that city May 28th and July 2nd seems to be headed in the right direction. That their work will be thorough and far-reaching in its effects, is at present no room for doubt. This is the first time in the history of the country that the Congress of the United States has been prevailed upon to shoulder such a responsibility. The creating-of such a committee is out of the ordinary, which of course, is proper under the circumstances. The cause for the investigation is unparalleled in the history of any civilized world, and while the local and State authorities are at work on the cases, and are prosecuting without fear or favor, those who fall into their hands, it is also evident that their arms are short. There is a deal that they seem to have overlooked which is being most interestingly brought out by the Congressional committee. We do not know that they shall have power to indict or to prefer charges against those who have escaped the eyes of the State officials; but, we know they can report that conditions were "rotten" in the ill-fated "City." Strange as it may appear, evidence thus far given at this inquiry, shows very plainly that the Negroes were not guilty of the many crimes that have been repeatedly preferred against them. It shows further that the charge of importing Negroes from the South as strike breakers is false, and was circulated by our enemies—especially the labor unions—in order to stir up race feeling against the Negroes. It has set at naught, the statement that has been prevalent, that the Negroes precipitated the riots, by firing on and killing a sergeant of the detective force. These and many other startling facts will be taken to Washington by this committee.

E. church at 3966 Fairfax Ave., will entertain the South East Missouri and Illinois Annual Conference which opens Wednesday, Oct. 31. Arrangements have been made to take care of a large delegation which will begin to arrive Monday, Oct. 29th. The S. E. Missouri and Illinois Annual Conference extends as far south as Cairo, Ill., and as far north as Chicago. This conference is in the fifth Episcopal district over which Bishop M. P. Jamison presides, who is expected to arrive Monday. On a recent visit here Bishop C. H. Phillips of the Fourth Episcopal district, said that this conference had a bright future and would soon be the largest in the Colored Methodist Church. Bishop R. A. Carter who raised $14,000 for missions in Texas will be in East St. Louis, will be transferred to the First Episcopal district over which Bishop L. H. Halsey presides. It is said that Rev. Wallace will be placed in charge of the C. M. E. church in Washington, D. C. Much interest is taken in Rev. Wallace's promotion as he is well known in religious and Y. M. C. A. work in St. Louis. Rev. J. A. Winters, former pastor of Lane Tabernacle, now pastoring St. Paul C. M. E. church Chicago, will also be present. Rev. Winters has recently announced his candidacy for Bishop to be elected next spring at the General Conference of the C. M. E. church which will be held at Chicago. Sunday Evening Sermon "In the year that King Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled the Temple." These are words from the sixth chapter of Isaiah, from which Rev. Smith preached Sunday evening. The subject was "The Gospel Train." After getting his congregation in a cheerful mood the pastor began his sermon, explaining' the difference between the gospel train and the earthly train and the difference in the passengers. The pastor, is to be complimented, for the great message for it is the kind we don't soon'forget. As is usually the case whenever the pastor takes his text from the Old Testament, the members know there is a rare treat in store for them. Mrs. I. M. Wisdom made a strong appeal to the ladies to participate in the women's parade which was held Wednesday. The members are preparing for a great day Sunday which will be observed as Harvest Home Day. Manhattan Cafe Scene Of An Elaborate Opening Manhattan Cafe Scene Of An Elaborate Opening The Manhattan Cafe, at Newstead and Finney Aves, on Wednesday evening was the scene of one of the most elaborate openings that has taken place in this city among people of color. This cafe, which is under the efficient management of Mr. Robert Laususe and is the largest cabaret dancing parlor devoted to Colored trade, was too small for the immense throng that pushed and postled its way good naturedly and happily through the jammed aisles. From 8 o'clock until the lights began to wink, a steady stream of machines drew up to the imposing entrance and deposited their human freight of merry-makers who were turning out in full force to wish this young man bonvoyage upon his latest business venture. All St. Louis seemed to be there. Every available inch of space was utilized while hundreds jammed the aisles waiting and in many instances waiting in vain for a table. It was with the utmost difficulty that the waiters were able to wait upon the trade. The cafe was gaily bedecked with an autumnal dressing and entwined with American flags. Ladies were there arrayed in their finest, many of the' gentlemen wore the conventional full-dress, while here and there could be seen a few of Uchele Sani's boys with their silver bars, denoting officers, but forced by governmental regulations to sip soft drinks. This was their first sacrifice to the cause of their country but it tended, in spite of all the gayety to remind many of the seriousness of the hour.

New Pythian Lodge Being Organized New Pythian Lodge Being Organized Like all the great citizenship of St. Louis, we were electrified by the mammoth conclave held by the Knights of Pythias and Auxiliary in our city last month. One could not witness the splendid exercises or read of the wonderful accomplishments of this great institution without being impressed with the tremendous achievements this army of men and women are accomplishing for the race. It has impressed us as one of the greatest agencies for good which is being forstered by our people. We have taken much time to study the business methods of this order and find it has a substantial Beneficiary Department, founded upon a safe and sane insurance rate as recommended and approved by the National Fraternal Congress, and the Insurance Department of Missouri, which is doing much to relieve the distress of the worthy dependents of Pythians who have fallen in the Ranks.

Shaw, will appear in the pulpit Sunday morning, after a rest of a couple of Sundays, in a new series of sermons. He will be in a fine condition, and promises to give the public the Gospel pure and simple, as his mind shall dictate. Come out and hear him. On last Monday evening we had with us Prof. R. G. Jackson, the great and noted organist of Allan Chapel of Kansas City, with his accomplished bride, who is a prima donna of California. The audience, and for that matter the whole city is captivated, under the matchless musical recital, rendered here by them. Every rendition brought great applause. The church at large is wide awake, and doing great things, and the $5,000 rally seems to be a miniature mountain, with an attacking force of busy and industrious ants, who are gradually carrying it way piece by piece. SERVICES AT ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH Arrangements are being perfected for the Memorial Service for Father Mason on All Saints Day., November 1, 1917, at 8 p.m. The people generally are invited to attend, regardless of church connections, as Father Mason in his lifetime ministered to all. The speakers will be Rev. W. H. Peck, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, who will represent the denominational churches, and Rev. Z. B. T. Phillips, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. Rt. Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, Bishop of the Diocese of Missouri, will preside. On this occasion a fund will be started for placing a suitable memorial in All Saints Church for Father Mason. Sunday services will be as follows: Holy Communion at 7 a.m. Morning Prayer at 11 o'clock, and Evening Prayer at 8 o'clock, with sermons by the rector, the Rev. Father Clarke. Sunday school and Mrs. Garnett's Bible Class at 12:30 p.m. The rector's Men's Bible Class at 7 o'clock and an Organ Recital at 8:45 p.m. by Mr. Kecton. Everybody welcome. *MT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429 N. 12th St. Rev. Morris delivered a very impressive sermon last Sunday morning to a goodly throng of worthy listeners. Bro. Thos. Joiner preached at 8 o'clock, his theme being both timely and eminently fitted to the occasion. The very best talent is always employed at Mt. Olive and an appreciative audience is always found here. Sunday, Nov. 4th the Christian Union will rally for winter funds, please be one of us on this worthy occasion. You are ever welcome to our services. Rev. D. W. Morris, pastor. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH St. Paul and her members were agreeable surprised Sunday morning when it was announced that Dr. J. R. Ransom of Witchita, Kansas, would break the bread of life at the morning service. Bro. S. R. Stanley in befting words introduced the speaker who in a few words paid Dr. Johnson a tribute that was well worth hearing and was received with delight. He selected for a text, St. John 9:4, "The night cometh when no man can work."—The time and place to work. The sermon was one long to be remembered. Dr. Ransom is truly a great preacher and one that Kansas or any other state should be proud of. Dr. Johnson, the pastor was absent attending the conference at Kirkwood, where he made one of the largest dollar money reports that has ever been made from St. Paul, also the largest amount of contingent money that has been made in the history of the church. Not only did his report show an increase along financial lines, but the spiritual growth was on the increase. Dr. Johnson was the recipient of many compliments for his work at the leading church during his first year as its pastor. The pastor not being a man of many words but a deep thinker, in a modest way simply said, "The praise belonged to God and the Lord is simply using his people as an instrument to bring things to pass." Dr. Johnson is a lovable character and in the language of Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, Dr. Johnson is clean cut as a hound's tooth. Hear him Sunday morning. Bishop W. H. Heard filled the pulpit Sunday night and delivered a message long to be remembered by all who had the good fortune to hear him. A cordial welcome to strangers. Lieuts. Vaughn, Watkins and Stewart were in our midst Sunday morning. There were excellent services at True Light Baptist church all day Sunday and Rev. W. C. Simmons delivered an excellent sermon from Luke. 15:18 subject "I will arise and go to my Father." Last week was one of success. There were 15 persons added to the church.

THEATRES CLASSY BILL WITH NOVELTIES AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE THIS WEEK Drake-Walker Bom Bay Girls with Big Company Next Week Another high class show with plenty of real novelties is on the boards at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The first act is Princess Floretta, a white actress who has been seen here before in magic. This time the princess is showing wonderful feats of strength contortion and balancing. She bends steel rods with her teeth and does other interesting things. The act is good. Strain and Ford; singers, dancers and fun makers show marked class. Doc Strain does a "Cissy" imitation that takes the house by storm. Although Miss Ford is the limit in stoutness she is a good dancer. Both sing well, their comedy lines are spicey and the act makes a big hit. Kirkpatrick and Bowman, classical vocalists, win applause with a quartette of beautiful melodies, they sing: "Poor Butterfly," "You're Mamma's Baby," "Mother MaCrow" and "Sextette from Lucia." The lady's sweet soprano and the man's rich baritone make a harmonious combination. Their TUESDAY Edith Story and Wm. Duncan, in "MONEY MAGIC" Clara Kimball Young, in "VIOLIN OF MISIEUR" SINGLE REEL COMEDY G SPECIAL--Clara I ODEON 21st and Market Streets work is rare, and well appreciated by the audiences. Paul Seminole and his young son, halfbreed Indians, with an instrumental act, close the show. After a typical dance opening, they settle down to their instruments, consisting of banjoine, a guitar and a xylephone. They play several popular melodies as well as Indian pieces. The work of the little fellow is wonderful. The act wins round after round of applause. DRAKE-WALKER BOMBAY GIRLS Henry Drake and Ethel Walker with their big company of seventeen, including their own band and orchestra will come to the Booker Washington next week in 4 new musical comedy, entitled "Wife Wanted." This calls for new scenery and costumes. The company needs no introduction. It's the best on the road. The work of the orchestra is well worth the price of admission. A band concert will be given each evening at 5:30 in front of the theater. The patrons should remember that "The Red Ace" is first shown at 5:30 on Monday nights and the first vaudeville show begins at 6. A war tax of 10 per cent on the gross receipts has been levied on the Booker Washington Theatre and Mr. Turpin announces that he is compelled to raise the price of admission 5 cents on each seat. Beginning Monday the prices will be children 10 cents, adults—general admission 15 cents, reserved seat section 20 cents, box seats 25 cents. Will Repeat First Episode of "The Red Ace" Saturday "The Red Ace" started off with one of the most exciting first episodes ever witnessed at the Booker Washington Theatre last Monday night, but many patrons' did not get to see the beginning on account of the rain. On account of the disappointment Mr. Turpin will repeat the first episode Saturday night and the second will be shown as usual on Monday. The picture promises to be the most sensational of the many serials shown lately. It will pay you to see the beginning Saturday night. Synopsis of First Episode "The Red Ace" is the name of a carefully hidden mine where the Dixons obtain the platinum with which they have contracted to supply the government. The enemies of the government have discovered the fact, and have diverted every shipment to their own sorely pressed munitions makers. The Government of the United States naturally concludes-that the Dixons have turned traitors. They order an investigation in Lost Hope, and in Washington, where Virginia Dixon, the daughter, lives. Virginia receives a letter from her brother, which tells her that some mysterious power is tampering with their shipments, that all the messengers have been killed, and that her father has disappeared. --- He says he will blow up the entrance to the mine and leave the directions for finding the mine and hidden platinum in a certain ring. Then the letter is broken off shortly. Virginia immediately prepares to leave for Canada, while her brother is writing to give her directions to find the platinum he is attacked by "The Phantom" a mysterious haltman, half beast. The brother is killed and the Phantom delivers the paper to some one inside a hollow tree. Virginia's maid has heard of her mistress' plans to go to Canada, and immediately phones Hirtzman a foreign secret service' man, of the fact. Hirtzman' endeavors to prevent Virginia from arriving at "Lost Hope" before he does, and attacks her 'chauffeur in the garage. One of Hirtzman's men drives the car, but Virginia soon discovers that they are going in the wrong direction. Kelly her companion draws his kni- forces the chauffeur to stop, and then knocks him from the machine. The train has already left the station, but they pursue it, and as they gain on it, Virginia works her way to the front bumper and gets-ready to make a jump for the train. The climax is thrilling. Noble Johnson, the Colored movie star plays a conspicuous part, as "Little Bear." the Indian.
