President Richardson, made a splendid address outlining the future policy of Lincoln Institute, and assured his bearers that above all things, he would endeavor to keep the Institute free from politics. This declaration on his part brought forth an outburst of applause for it has been of common knowledge that the school has hitherto been manipulated by the fine hands of state politicians. The address of President Richardson as a whole was optimistic to the last degree and punctured at times with a touch of witness that made his first appearance in St. Louis a pleasing and amenable one. Prof. David E. Gordon, Principal of L'Ouverture school, acted as Master of Ceremonies. The speaker was introduced by Joy Prof. E. H. Cols, Principal of Sipmons School. The occasion was sponsored by the K. of P. Lodges and Courts of Calanthe of the City of St. Louis, and the detailed arrangements were perfected by Grand Chaneller A. W. Lloyd.

One Colored Man Killed—Shot in the Back by Guards Who Fired Without Provocation or Command—Thirteen White Men Arrested—Will Be Punished If Found Guilty. New York City, N. Y., August 26. The facts regarding the race riot at Camp Merritt, N. J., of August 17, in which it was reported that several men were killed and wounded, were ascertained today in an interview with Col. J. A. Marmon, commanding officer of the camp, by Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The morning papers of August 20 stated that the camp was closed to newspaper reporters and others seeking information regarding the disturbance, but the association, in keeping with its policy of aiding the government in allaying suspicion and preventing friction between the races, sent Mr. White to obtain the facts in the case. These were given to him freely by Colonel Marmon and show that the incident was not as serious as was at first supposed. On the night when the trouble occurred two Colored soldiers were elected from Y. M. C. A. 2, by two Southern white soldiers, when their presence was resented by the Southern white men, although there is no discrimination allowed in any of the Y. M. C. A. buildings, ad the Colored soldiers had a perfect right to be there. As they left the building a chair was thrown at them. Previous to this incident there had been one of two minor clashes between soldiers of both races who were quartered in adjacent sections of the camp, which necessitated both, using the same general street. The white soldiers involved were from Mississippi, while the Colored were from Camps bodge, Taftel Grant and Serthman. About half an hour after the ejection of the two soldiers from Y. M. C. A. 2, a white soldier was cut by a Colored soldier. Contrary to press accounts he was not badly cut, nor has he died. Col. Marmon stated that his wounds were so trivial that it has been seen necessary for the wounded man to apply at a hospital for treatment. For this reason, they have been unable to learn who the wounded man is, nor has it been possible to learn who the assailant is. Shortly after this occurrence, groups of soldiers of both races gathered in one of the camp streets and threats were passed. Fearing trouble the guard was called out and orders were given to the man to dispense. The guard consisted of between 30 and 40 men in charge of a sergeant Standing at a short distance from the guard, officers of both the white and Colored troops conferred as to the best method of preventing trouble. A group of the Colored troops were moving away in obedience to the command of the guard, when suddenly without a command being given shots rang out and five of the Colored men fell. The sergeant in command of the guard rushed in at once and knocked up the guns to prevent further firing. One Colored soldier was killed, four wounded, none of them seriously, and all will recover. The most seriously wounded of the four has a bullet wound in his groin and one of the fingers of his left hand is shot off, evidently by the same bullet. The man killed was shot in the back The guns of the guards were immediately examined after the shooting and thirteen of them were found to have been fired. The thirteen men to whom these guns belonged were immediately arrested and placed in the guard house. Colonel Marmon stated that these men would be tried for firing without orders and punished if found guilty. The camp is now entirely quiet and no further trouble is anticipated MISSISSIPPI COLORED WOMAN AFFLIES FOR DENTAL Jackson, Miss - Two state marks of examiners are in session here. The dental examiners have taught applicants for licenses among them a C. Colored woman, the skin in the history of the state, and two Colored men.

I returned to the ticket seller with the information and he said: "If it is all right with him it is all right with me, but you know your kind have no business riding on that train." I told him all he had to do was sell me the ticket. He got mad and said someone else could do it, but he would not. He called the vilest of names and I retorted.

CHURCHES The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preschel the gospel to the poor. St. Luke 4th chapter, 18th verse. Theme: "The mission of Christianity to the world." De Beek clearly demonstrated, that Christianity means service to mankind, and the Bible, which is so important in our worship, should not be used to settle religious contentions, but to teach service to humanity. We must teach others clean without lifting. Christ came to emancipate. The progress of Christianity is the progress of emancipation of men from their sins. No constitution, however ideal its service or scholarly the message that is brought by the patient has fulfilled the mission for which it was intended so long as there exists codlight, districts in which there are dens of vice where the most humious crimes are committed in defiance of God and man.

On Sunday, Sept. 1, our pastor will give a special sermon on Labor.

In the evening there will be a program rendered having as a special feature a patriotic drill. Don't forget the rally on the second Sunday of next month. All friends and visitors are welcome at each service. Sunday was another day to test the loyalty of the masters of St. Paul. Through the rain the members found their way to the altar church, to listen to Dr. Johnson as delivered one of his famous sermons, St. Matthew 10:55, 10:60, 10:65, which lead as follows: 'Heal the sick, raise the dead, change the lepers, cast out devils; freely give you received, give you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your parses; no wealth for your journey, neither two coins, nor staff; no believers in the life of his fellow.' for the minister is worthy of his food. As we have often ordered the inj preservatives and the thyme and quinne Dr. Johnson holds his congratulation spell- bound, we do not want to hire the pubs with the repetition of the same. Sunday night was an odd one of the fact that the people he enjoyed a fare trout Sunday morning he attended and was unusually lazy. They were expecting to hear the table-mister who delivered such a powerful sermon Sunday morning. The pastor did not preach Sunday night but introduced to the congregation the news of the conference Sunday in the season of Sister Georgina Mackey, who gives us an old- three sermon, which we well received. Sunday is quarter's closing day, and Dr. W. H. Peck, pastor of St. James' Church, will bring the news at 9 a.m. Dr. Peck is so well known throughout the congratulation, standing room will be at a promenant at that hour the less than deliver the less quarter's Dinner will be served by the Snowgriess ladies. So the people may remain over from the morning service and get their dinner in the century room at a reasonable price. Dr. Johnson is attentive to eclipse last year's report and from present in information's every dog will be fully relied on by this man if good. Special invitation to strangers. We find The St. Louis Argus an institution and encouragement in the cause of Christ and community; let the good work go on; work us 18 copies of The St. Louis Argus instead of 24. We are glad to report your service on last Sunday, in spite of the rain. Pastor Harroll praached a forceful sermon, which was enjoyed by all. The Second Baptist Missionary Circle visited the First Baptist Circle Sunday at 3 p.m. We praise the Lord for the union services of the First and Second Baptist churches in Kinboch, under the leaderships of our worthy pastor, Rev.

Just at a time in which labels the entire Negro race, and has stitched up so much alloying between this white and Colored people throughout the country, finds such a welcome in St. Louis, calls people thought: "Who should indulge this play made its first appearance here, it is as goodly as appeared by the local branch of the NAACP. It is somehow, it filled the entire engagement. The second bouquet was also with opposition on the part of the Colored people, but it only seemed to increase the daily receipts for the play based on its promoters." The play is still every much of it. The lie it portrays about the Negro sets the sort of soul of every Colored man, woman and child on fire, who sees it.

During the past week, Lieutenant (S) Morgan, the first William S. Aldoe has created a Bureau of Complaint and has asked the traveling public to "suggest and complain" with regard to service received at the hands of the employees. We are pleased to hear this statement coming from Mr. McAdoo, especially since he is clothed with full power to grant or reject, to remedy or maintain any condition affecting the welfare of the traveling public. We shall take him at his word and hereby register the complaint of twelve million loyal Americans who have been subjected to untold suffering, and abuse at the hands of the employees of the railroads. We most solemnly affirm that the men, women, and children of the Negro race have not a decent place to travel on the railroads throughout the Southland in this country. They are denied the ordinary comforts of some things to eat in a place to sleep, while they are required to pay a first class fare. Soldiers in uniform, women and children of our race are directed to the dungey, dirty compartment of passenger trains and are forced to remain there during thousands of miles of travel to the detention of their health. who do not, join us in this appeal.
