MANY THOUSANDS BID FAREWELL TO NEGRO DRATEES Tears Mingled With Cheers As Train At Union Station Pulls Away From Greatest Demonstration Since Declaration Of War With Germany, COLORED MEN LEAVE WITH GREATER HONOR THAN WHITES Were Not Given A Chance To Volunteer Their Services To The Country. Can Not Be Classed As Slackers. 588 St. Louisans Leave. Twenty-five thousand persons gathered at Union Station Tuesday night to bid farewell to 480 drafted Colored men who were leaving for the Government cantonment at Ft. Funston. More than five thousand had witnessed 108 leave the night before. The first squad was from the Sixth Ward of St. Louis, the second from 24 wards, all but the 9th, 10th, and 13th which had no negro draftees. A spirit of patriotic cheer prevailed. The big crowd was of one purpose, to encourage the boys who had been called upon to defend the flag, to "Make the World Safe for Democracy." While thousands cheered, there were tears and sorrow that added pathos to the part-friends who were probably paying a hundreds of dearest relatives and friends who were probably saying a last farewell to loved ones. There were heartrending partings which tested the metal of young manhood and caused weeping wives, mothers and sisters to enquire their greatest sorrow. Many women, prostrated, had to be carried from the scene. When the Burlington train pulled out of Union Station Tuesday night at 8:30 away from the greatest patriotic demonstrationinion, Colored or white, St. Louis has seen since the declaration of war, it left one thousand more young Colored men who must later follow their stalwart brothers; how many more only A.

Ferris is "The The St. Louis Argus The boys arrived in Kansas City about seven o'clock Wednesday morning and after enjoying a hearty breakfast at the station departed at 8:30 over the Union Pacific for Camp Funston. All appeared to be in a jolly mood. Many were hoarse from cheering the night before. It was well after midnight before the crowd quieted down. Honor in This Draft The Colored citizens had every reason to feel a distinctive pride in the boys who were going to Camp Funston. Although subjected to the selective draft, they bore higher honor than the conscripted whites. They had been refused the right to volunteer their services. They were not slackers. How many of that number would have volunteered, no one can say; but it is certain that there are many Colored young men in St. Louis who sought to enlist and were refused and others who would have done so had the way been opened to show their valor. If given a chance they would have been a big factor in filling St. Louis' quota of Colored soliers, and relief for many who have been compelled to leave dependents behind.

Church Monday evening, giving them a royal reception prior to their leaving for the training camp at Ft. Eiley, Kana. Meeting was under the management of J. H. Tanter and an able corps of assistants. OUR WORST ENEMY In view of the fact that a recent discussion was indulged in regarding the Associated Press as the Negro's worst enemy. The writer has selected two of the leading St. Louis dailies and for a period of one week has carefully noted all articles referring to Negroes. The following clippings total the number of references except those on the "Draft" and the East St. Louis Riot." Readers of the Argus are left to decide for themselves whether the majority are favorable or unfavorable to the race: FROM THE GLOGE DEMOCRAT NEGRO DOCTOR CONVICTED OF KILLING WHITE WOMAN PARSONS, Kans., October 14—Robert Smith, young negro physician, charged with killing Mrs. Asa Smith, a white woman, by pouring acid/down her throat, was found guilty of first-degree murder late last night by a jury in the District Court, here. The maximum sentence is life imprisonment. In testimony, Mrs. Smith, a few hours before her death, told the County Attorney the negro accused her of coming between him and her. The negro had been befriended by Asa Smith, the woman's, husband, who is wealthy, and who provided money for his education. NEGRO LAUGHS WHEN HE IS SENTENCED TO DEATH WEST CHESTER, Pa., October 14. Bill Warren, colored, of near Avondale, convicted of murdering William Kirk, the 45-year veteran, for about $70 pension money, was retracted, new trial and was sentenced by Judge Butler to the electric chair. With a laugh, Warren answered the court that he had nothing to say why sentence should not be passed upon him. NEGRO HOLDS UP MARSHAL WHO HAD TWO REVOLVERS C. E. Maguire, night marshal at Woods- Ill., was held up by a negro whom he received in an interurban waiting station. In early negro thrust a revolver at Maguire, declared he did not intend to be arrested and maintained the drop on Maguire until he had opportunity to escape. Maguire had two revolvers, two clubs and a flashlight. The negro had a bag which he admitted was filled with money. NEGRO IN POSSESSION OF AUTO, SAYS HE STOLE IT Harry Truall, 19 years old, a negro, 107 South Fourteenth Street, was arrested by Marshal Knickman of Webster Groves early yesterday on suspicion. He was riding in a five-passenger automobile. Knickman questioned him about the car and he admitted he had stolen it from in front of the King's Theater Saturday night. The machine is owned by George J. Kobusch, 2240 St Louis Avenue. The machine was turned over to Kobusch. Truall at first said he was "Mayor Kiel's right-hand bower" and that Kiel had loaned him the automobile. He was turned over to the St Louis police. They will investigate his age to ascertain if he is evading the draft. They said he appeared to be about 26 years old. NEGRO DEPUTY DEPUTY ARRESTED FOR SUSPECTING FOR SHOOTING AT GREEK A negro deputy marshal, Marion F. Henderson, was arrested last night after he fired his revolver once at William Callas, a Greek, proprietor of a restaurant at 2355 Market Street, during an argument over a bill of $4 which Henderson was trying to collect for a negro publication. A warrant charging assault to kill will be applied for today by police of the Eighth District. Callas said Henderson seemed to be excited when he called last night, and that he pushed Henderson out of the front door because the restaurant was crowded and the diners were being annoyed by Henderson's loud talk. Callas did he not authorize the advertisement for which the negro deputy marshal was trying to collect. Negro Roba Man of 85 Nathan Kauffmann of 2815 Stoddard Street reported to the police yesterday that he was robbed of $5 by a negro holdup man at 10:45 o'clock Saturday night. Kauffmann said the negro was frightened away by the shout of a man who came from a near-by drug store, before he had found $60 and a gold watch valued at $100, in an inner pocket. TWO NEGROES ROE AND MAKE ATTEMPT TO ATTACK A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL Two negroes robbed and attempted to attack Miss Clara Trimberger. 17 years old, daughter of Mrs. Chester Kernepeck, 5428 Bighorn Avenue, at 10 o'clock. Macklin and Daggott Avenue, at 10 o'clock. The girl's screams attracted the attention of Mrs. Kate Hannick. 2125 Macklin Avenue, who went to her rescue. The negroes fled. They robbed Miss Trimberger of, two gold rings and 30 cents, which they took from her stocking. OPEN-AIR SCHOOL FOR NEGROES, STEWART'S PLAN Dr. James Stewart of the hydrangea department of the St. Louis public schools, yesterday recommended to Superintendent of Instruction Withera, that an open-air school be established for negroes. St. Louis has two open-air schools for white children, and both have proven highly successful. It was said. The two schools proposed for Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart recommends a school to accommodate seventy-five negro children. The school is to have dining rooms, sleeping porches, rest rooms and other facilities such as the white schools contain. Supt. Withera is to submit the report with his recommendation to the Board of Education at its next meting. Negroes to Be Given Reception Approximately ninety negroes from all parts of the United States who have been in training for the Officer's Reserve Corps in Des Moines, Iowa, will be given a reception by St. Louis negroes at the Python Hall, when they pass through here to meet the Officer's Negroes who received commissions will arrive with the others. FROM THE REPUBLIC COLORED OFFICERS-IN PARADE Colored officers of the Reserve Corps who have been in training for four months at Des Moines, Ia., will spend the day in St. Louis tomorrow, when they will be entertained with a pajama and reception at night in Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine Street. They will be met at UNION Depot by a delegation of colored citizens. The officers number about 100, some of whom are local men. NEGROES ATTACK GIRL While returning home at 10 w'clock last night Miss Clair Thimberg, 17 years old, 5428 Bishop Avenue, was attacked by two negroes at Macklin and Daggett Avenue. The negroes tore her clothing in an effort to choke her. She fought back and screamed. Mrs. Kate Harinck, 2125 Macklin Avenue, was attracted to the scene, and the negroes escaped through a vacant lot. They stole two rings from Miss Trimberg and her pocketbook. SELF-STYLED RIGHT-HAND MAN OF MAYOR ARRESTED Harry Troll, a negro, 107 North Fourteenth Street, who says he is 19 years old, and who styles himself a personal friend and right-hand man of Mayor Kiel, is being held by the police for Federal investigation on the charge of being a slacker. Troll was arrested Saturday night by Marshal Knickman of Webster Groves when Knickmann became auspicious as to the ownership of a machine driven by him. The car belonged to G. Cobusch, 2240 St. Louis Avenue, from whom it was stolen several weeks ago. NEGRO WHO BOASTED HE SHOT 2 EAST ST. LOUIS OFFICERS HUNTED AS ROCHESTER, N.Y. RIOT LEADER Special to the Republic ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 14—Police tonight are searching for Douglas Reese a negro charged with leading a riot among black laborers here early today, as a result of which one man is in the hospital seriously wounded, a score of others are suffering from minor hurts and a number of robberies have been reported. Reese is said by the police to have boasted he was one of the leaders of the negro faction during the race riots at East St. Louis last summer. John Henry Doe, 73, white, a night watchman, was seriously beaten when a number of blacks started a fight following a craps game among the laborers a barge canal contract at Brighton, near here. The police also are charged with holding up and robbing a number of other employers, both white and black. Five arrests have been made by Sheriff's deputies.

Francis Robinson, noted pulpit orator, was the speaker at Central Baptist Church last Sunday night. This message was a masterpiece in argument and diction. We must pause to find an address of greater patriotic and racial fervor than that delivered by him on that occasion. In a straightforward and sincere manner, the speaker said, in part as follows: "A large number of our churches are publishing lists of the names of young men who have enlisted, called 'The Roll of Honor.' The churches ought to keep a special eye on them in every way possible. The church ought to be the vanguard of any helpful service it can render to the men and women who devote themselves to the work of the army. Our boys must be encouraged; they face a crucial situation, different from any heretofore, without the guidance of leaders such as Douglass, Bruce, Pinchback and Washington. "Our boys must be encouraged to cultivate self-restraint and courage. A great responsibility rests upon them; they have came to the most critical moment in their career. They should be encouraged to make good." "White men who have to do with the black men in the army should use common sense—should be broad enough to recognize that color of a soldier's skin has nothing to do with his measure as a man. Overbearing, insolent attitudes, that prevoke insubordination and violence in us, should be avoided. Give the Negro an American citizen's chance—a man's chance—yes, an equal chance on the battlefields of Europe, and he will fight and bleed and die, just as his forefathers did in the Revolutionary War in 1812, and later in the War of the 'Rebellion.'" Dr. Robinson is field secretary of the National Baptist Convention; his visit to St. Louis was official. INFORMATION WANTED Dock Richardson, formerly of Nashville, Tenn.

Y MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN November 8th to 17th. 202 members are to be added to the membership of the Pine St. Department Y. M. C. A. between November 8th and 17th, if the efforts of the Y. M. C. A. workers are as successful as they are hoping they will be. The new Y. M. C. A. year book which has just been issued gives the memberships of the six leading Associations as follows: Chicago, 884; Philadelphia, 1004; Indianaapolis, 615; Atlanta, 300; Kansas City, 379; Cincinnati, 470. St. Louis is below these six cities of her class. A group of St. Louis young men have determined that this should not be so and are going to make a drive for 202 new members. The teams will be divided in two divisions, one to be known as the Tanks and the other as the U Boats. From present indications a battle royal is promised between these two deadly machines, and it seems certain that most men eligible for membership will be captured in this campaign. All men of moral, character are eligible for membership and that gives the team workers a wide field to work Some of the men was are to serve as Captains are as follows: Dr. Thurman, Mr. Lyle Caston, Mr. Steve Talbert, Mr. Adolph Angles, Mr. Ulysses Bolden, J.

Does Business With Your Own Race: THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD COL. J. H. KENT. The above is the likeness of Col. J. H. Kent, who has been appointed Commanding Officer of the Military Department of the American Woodmen. Col. Kent is well known in St. Louis, as a Military Organizer. He will immediately form three regiments in St. Louis. The first Battalion is being organized Church Rector Highly Praised The celebration of the Twelfth Anniversary of the Christian Spiritual Church, located at 2727 Lawton Ave. last Friday night was quite an enjoyable affair. A large and appreciative audience was in attendance. Rev O. C. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist, delivered the address of the evening. - Among the other speakers was Mr. G. F. Craven, who spoke as follows: This is what I know of your beloved Rector, Rev. Weatherford: Dear beloved Spiritual Church, it certainly affords me great pleasure to attempt to write a paper on this wonderful spiritual leader in this great spiritual church. I have known your oveloved rector for more than twenty years, and just these few late years I am beginning to realize what a wonderful man he is, and on this your 12th anniversary of this splendid church and pastor, he has broken all records. His congregation is made up of some of the leading Colored and white people of the city. During his twelve years as pastor he has not asked the church for one dime for himself; he is spending his life's work in trying to raise money to purchase the first spiritual church organized by Colored people in this great city. God is watching him and we can safely say that he will succeed. Let us for a moment study this God man. Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them. This wonderful gospel leader was born great, to lift a higher standard of the Christian religion. He is highly honored and respected among both races. He has not changed much in appearance; he still has the boyish look, the fine physique, and the kindly smile. He is as brave as a lion but as harmless as a dove. He takes a firm stand for the right. Rector Weatherford is among the first spiritualist leaders of the city, in fact he is their leader. Many of our great spiritual leaders of the city owe much of their success to this quiet Christian leader. May he live long among us and when the time comes for this wonderful leader to give his last test, rest assured his works will never die. It will be as bread cast upon the waters and gathered in many days hence. So let us do all in our power to help him Keep Your Eyes Open Du Save Money MRS. Confectionery a 210-212 N.

God bless him and crown his efforts with success. We all know nothing but success awaits anyone who puts all of their interest in a good cause. There are but few men who are called to do the kind of work this splendid man is doing. When we as pew members feel sad and lonely, something worrying our minds, we can come to these meetings on Friday nights and get a message from some one in this life or even in the other world, that often lifts the dark cloud which hangs over our head and inpires us to go on, hold up our heads and look this cold and ungrateful world in the face and smile. My friends let us from tonight see this spiritual leader as never before. If you have any flowers to give him, give them now, don't wait until God calls him home to rest. Encourage him, praise him, spread the news from one end of the city to the other, and help hasten the time when we shall be sitting in a magnificent edifice listening to him and his other great spiritual leaders. So Let us all be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. A NOTED EVANGELIST COMING TO ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH Miss M. J.

Funeral services Saturday, Nov. 3, at 1 p.m. at Central Baptist Church. In memory of my dear beloved wife, Sophia Saker, who departed this life Sunday, Nov. 2nd., 1913, four years ago. There are griefs that cannot find com- fort, And wounds that cannot be healed. There are sorrows so deep in the human heart, They cannot be half revealed. God is my strong salvation, What foe have I to fear, In darkness and temptation, My light and my help is near. Though hosts encamp around me, Firm to the fight I'll stand; What terror can confront me, With God at my right hand. Sadly missed by sisters and husband, Capt. Clarence W. Salter. In memory of our dear beloved mother and wife, Naney Vails. The month of November again is here, This day one year to us the saddest of the year, It took from us November the 4th day Our darling sweet Mother, away. A precious one from us has gone, The voice we love is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Just one year ago today; Since our darling mother passed away, O, Lord keep green the grave that lies, Beneath the wide and starry sky; Keep sweet with sleep and give her rest, Whose hands are folded on her Breast. A loving mother, true and kind. No one on earth like her we'll find. God called her home, it was His will. But in our hearts, she lingers still. For all of us she did her best. May God grant her eternal rest. Sadly missed by husband, sons, daughters and grandchildren.

Say what you will or may, the fact remains the same—that the best investment on earth is in the earth. Real estate is the basis of all wealth and nothing else proves more concisely a man's progressiveness than that of owning Real Estate. I have heard some men say that the reason they would not buy property was, because their wives would get part of their earnings if they ever decided to part, but the husband who buys Real Estate loves his family and wants to make them happy, and that's our business. I will give a $50 credit toward the purchase of any piano or player piano to every customer holding this coupon. This offer is good for 30 days only. It is the greatest true bargain ever offered in the piano business. Our object is to clean out the old stock for the new coming in. We will also make inducements to fit anyone's pocketbook. We know times are hard and we will make terms so any one desiring a piano can have one. If you pass up this marvelous offer you will pay the penalty.

Quinada, Invented by a New York Chemist, Stimulates and Nourishes The Roots of the Hair Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over twenty-five years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUINADE, mentioning the name of this paper.—Advt. NEGRO JAMLEE SONGS, PLANTATION NELODES. CHURCHES (Continued from Page Three) but was able to fill his pulpit. He selected his text from St. Mark 6-12: "Gather up the fragments that nothing be lost." A more appropriate sermon could not have been selected; especially when our government is demanding each individual to use economy along all lines. The pastor beautifully outlined the interesting story, "how the Master fed the famishing thousands in the wilderness and laid especial stress on obedience," when He commanded the multitude to sit down in companies of fifties." Just here he dwelt at length on the lives of Luther, Bunyan, Wesley and other great reformers moved by the holy spirit who performed great feats for the betterment of mankind. The sermon was well received and all present felt they had been much benefited. The pastor also gave a short statement of his report at the annual conference which celipsed all reports that have been made during the history of St. Paul. Hear him Sunday morning as his sermon will be interesting. Special invitation to strangers. TRUE LIGHT BAPTIST CHURCH By Carrie M. Fletcher The fight is still on at True Light Baptist Church.

Dunavant, pastor of Leonard Avenue Baptist church, delivered a great sermon last Sunday, and strongly impressed upon the people to be careful in the use of their means and not to be wasteful. He advocated the purchasing of Liberty Bonds, and the necessity of being loyal. The Antioch District Sunday School Institute held an interesting session in the afternoon. The Institute looks forward to the accomplishment of a great Sunday school work this year. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429 N. 12th St. Invocations were the main-spring of spiritual worship throughout each auxiliary and each service of the day. The prayers of the mighty and of the lowly blended as one man's prayer in humble supplication to our Master and King, the "Mighty God" in behalf of our broken ranks, deserted homes, the stricken ones left behind, and last though not least, the plea for victory. Rev. Gaines of East St. Louis, preached at 8, o'clock a thundering appeal to God's army to be unionized to Christ, a glorified church without spot or wrinkle. A gladsome day mid sorrows. You are welcome to share Christ's love. Rev. D. W. Morris, pastor. EL BETHEL CHURCH El Bethel and all auxiliaries are doing nicely. The pastor. Rev. Perry preached an excellent sermon from the Sunday school lesson, theme: Getting together. Services were well attended throughout the day.

THEATRES DRAKE-WALKER BOMBAY GIRLS AND BIG COMPANY AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Henry Drake and Ethel Walker, supported by a big company, including their famous Bombay Girls and own band and orchestra, are playing a return engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre this week in a musical comedy entitled, "Wife Wanted In Hotel Nobody." The offering is well up to the Drake-Walker standard, which means that the patrons are being served a spicey repertoire of song, dance and side splitting comedy with a rapidity that keeps excitement at a high pitch throughout the performance. Henry Drake is the comedian and as "Dusty" the hotel-porter, he keeps the audience laughing continuously. The fun centers on the efforts of the proprietor, Russell Lee, to secure a wife through an advertisement and the climax is reached in the application of Wm. Bailey, who impersonates a dusky damsel. A number of lively song and dance specialties are introduced. These include a male quartette; "Sweet Emaline My Girl," by Mr. Drake; "Miss Walker and Company; Dark Town Strutter's Ball," by Clifton Drake and girls with a buck dance by Drake; "Your Dreamy Eyes," by Mr. Lee, Miss Johnson and an Egyptian chorus of girls; songs and dances by Misses Lester and Ricks and opening and closing choruses with dances by the company. New costumes and special scene are featured and the orchestra is an important feature in the big entertainment. The company is playing to crowded houses at every performance. Next Week. The same company will offer a big musical review next week with plenty of good comedy. An up to the minute rehearsal of a current event will be one of the features. The band gives a concert in front of the theatre every evening at 5:30. Mr. Turpin, of the B. W. Theatre received word last week that the Drake-Walker Company would be unable to get a train out of Louisville Sunday night, after the show, so that it could arrive here in time to open Monday night. Mr. Turpin left for Louisville Saturday night and after failing to arrange for holding the last train Sunday night, he chartered a train, with special baggage car for scenery and trunks, secured the right of way, made a record run of fifty miles, arriving at a cross road just in time to make connections for St. Louis. Some stunt, eh On Wednesday, Nov. 7th, the Movie Theatre will present Pathe's most wonderful production of every day life entitled, "The On The Square Girl," featuring Miss Mollie King, the star of the "Seven Pearls." The Comet Odeon, at 21st and Market, is showing a high grade program of pictures at 5 cents. Patrons of this house are seeing Paramount photo plays, featuring the Famous players. Next Sunday "The Squaw Man's Son" in 5 parts will be featured. The admission on Sunday is 10e. Walker. Whiteside in "The Melting Pot" will be seen at the Pendleton Theatre Sunday.
