St. Louis Argus

DR. SHAW DENIES CHARGES MADE BY THE CLARION Shows He Was Not The Sole Promoter Of The Garden Of Eden, Aeroplant Exhibition And Auto Contest. To The St. Louis Argus: I am asking you publish the article you follow, an answer to that I was not to the would-be slanderous article, in The St. Louis Clarion of last Saturday, Feb. 22, 1918. friends I have in St. Louis are members of that great church. But that I was not thinking of the Eden," Doctor Brooks called my attention to it. He said to me affection. I do not in the least consider my self making any defense, but rather as answer. First, I wish to state, that I would not even answer the vicious malicious and unwarranted attack of the would-be assassin. If it were not for the fact that thousands of our people from the South, who do not know me, Secondly, because of The Charion going to the various exchanges of newspapers of the race who do not know the truth of the matter, is the reason I attempt this answer. I am now in my ninth year as pastor of the progressive Metropolitan A. M. S. St. John Church, one of the greatest headlights of moral and religious uplift in America, regardless of discrimination. The people know me and they also know G. K. Robinson. Now these are the facts in regards to the many charges made against me in The Chancellor. WHAT'S NO MAN LAND MERO MAKER DAMAGING STATEMENT? In this, G. K. Robinson, in his annual hypothetical manner, wishes to mislead the public by singing me out as the only one who had anything to do with the coming of what has turned out to be the impostor. The whole City of St. Louis knows and the eight ministers, myself included, were the promoters of this entertainment: Drs. B. F. Abbott, Sas. B. Stevens, G. C. Maxwell, J. K. Parker, R. A. Moseley, N. L. Smith, W. H. Peck, are all menly man and are Christian gentlemen and are not trying to shrink from the responsibility. Although, Mr. Robinson, you tried to shield them on the front page, by only naming their churches, but instead into your editorial columns, "Like unto a thief in the night," and throw your venomus sting into their moral hearts and accused each one of them as being moral degeneration and supporters of vice. You are trying to make sure of worry in raising the standard of morals in this city and thought the matter would have the support of the ministry, but they left you like the accusers left the woman when Christ wrote on the ground. I know not what the other ministers say to such an accusation, as for me, as the Lord God liveth, and whom I stand, I'll show myself to Abah today. Now, Mr. C. K. Robinson, the moralist, why play the hypocrite? Why not be a manly man? Why did you not tell the truth in regards to the "Aerostans Ascension." What can you do, at Colchester, as the "Automobile" at Colchester, the "keystone mould and the ignorant cripple, from Mobile, Ala." Why do you not stick to the subject? And, since Mr. Robinson, you did go back, why did you not tell the truth, and since you do not credit anybody with a memory but yourself, I shall tell the truth comically. Attention Mr. Robinson the moralist, to your second big headline: "B. G. SHAW, THE HUN OF CHRISTIANITY" I shall not attempt to answer this, I shall not attempt to count the courts of the city that for me. "H18 RECORD—FAKE AERO- PLANE ASCENSION Mr. C. K. Robinson, did you not know that what you called the "Fake Acropolem Ascension," was brought to your attention by your pastor, Rev. W. Sampion Brooks? It was Doctor Brooks who brought Mr. Headin to this city. Did you not know, Mr. Robinson, that I had Handin's Park rented for my Fall carnival and that Dr. Brooks, Dr. Abbott, Dr. Geo. E. Stevens and myself went in together, representing St. Paul Chapel, Union Memorial, Central Baptist and Metropolitan Churches? Do you not know, Mr. Robinson, that this man Handin's Park and that he did try to fly, and the climb was too great, and that in making the effort, broke the propeller on his machine? Did you not also know, the four ministers were afterward known and called the "Big Four." Yes, you knew it all, but you thought we had forgotten it. This is my first time of over hearing that the Aerocapane was a fake. Whereas Mr. Editor should you liken it to a bake? Why did you not include all four of us; why did you just take the one? Ah! Ye leopard, you cannot change your spots. GARDEN OF EDEN I wish here to refresh your memory in connection with the "Garden of Eden.' It was again your pastor, the Rev. W. Sempanson Brooks, who was the author of the "Garden of Eden." However, be it known unto you that what I am about to say is not a reflection upon one of the best friends I have in the world, Doctor Brooks, for he is a Christian gentleman of the first water and we are in impossible Friends today, neither I wish to reflect on the historian Dr. Paul; for some of theuest friends I have in St. Louis are mem bors of that great church But, it is a fact, that I was not thinking of the "Garden of Eden," until Doctor Brooks called my attention to it. He said to me, after he had raised his $7000 or more in that great rally, the amount he thought at that time was needed to cancel the long and vexing mortgage, that bad hang over the church for so many years, and when he went with his good and honorable board of trustees with the $7000 or more to cancel the mortgage, they found other indebtedness of which they did not know about, but having told the people that the amount they had was quite sufficient, he could not go back saying that more was yet needed. He went down in his own pocket and loaned to the trustees $1200. He asked me to go in with him in the "Garden of Eden," that he might get his money back. This is well known by the officers and some of the members of that church. C. K. Robinson knows it, for it was this same C. K. Robinson who printed the posters, bills and tickets for the "Garden of Eden," that he now calls a fake. I want St. Louis to know that C. K. Robinson led the parade the day we entered the "Garden of Eden." I want the people of St. Louis also to know, that C. K. Robinson carried us backwards and forwarded in his automobile and was one of the men who handled the money. C. K. Robinson carried us backwards and forwarded in his expenses and expenses were counted up and got his part when we handed over to the trustees of St. Paul for its part, as near as I can remember at this very late date, approximately $1500. I saw them turn over to Dr. Sampson Brooks, ten one hundred dollar bills. The "mud-slinger," C. K. Robinson knows this to be true. It was said by everybody who attended the "Garden of Eden" that they enjoyed the finest outing that they had ever enjoyed before in St. Louis. The best people of St. Louis, of our race and other races, attended it. The Police department declared that the finest conducted affair that was colored people. The Police Gazette paid a high tribute to Docen Brooks and myself for the many and Christian way in which we conducted the affair. This magazine is the chief official paper of the Police Department. We never heard of the "Garden of Biden" being a fake until now. The best men and women of our churches were in it. Like the "Aerospace Flighttit." it was not an individual. Mr. Robinson, himself was a member of both the associated mentioned fakes. Ah! I must have been Vestrain at a nat and swallow team. Mr. Robinson makes mention of the AUTO GAMBLING SWINDLE In this I wish to pay my obedience to the man of ignorance, in this affair; for no one but an ignorance would attempt to write about a thing like that, when he himself is living in "a house of glass." I did not have anything to do with the "Automobile Raffle," at the Coliseum, only in so much that I permitted the automobile to be brought in under my supervision. Now, then, what is the truth—the real truth in this matter? He that comes to court must come with clean hands. Mr. W. H. King, the ex-Editor of The Afro-American newspaper, a man of honesty and integrity, a high-class gentleman, came to me in the progress of our advertisement for the Shakespier play, that was pulled by the Coliseum of which Richard B. Harrison was the star. Mr. King said to him to help you make some money for the church, and he proposed to me to offer to the one who would get the ticket. I said to him, I would not go into the matter unless I could get authority and protection from the police department of the city. Before we took any farther steps in the matter, we went to the police headquarters and laid the matrer fairly and squarily before Mr. Young, the Chief of Police. We said to Mr. Young, we had an automobile we want to give away during our Shakespier play, Chamam. It was done on this wise. Then we a certain group of reserved seats, and all persons securing a reserved seat. We would be given a coupon ticket with a number on it. The purchaser of the reserved seat kept one part of his coupon ticket, and Mr. King kept the other part. Captain Young, Chief of Police, come to the Coliseum himself and went from one end to the other, and declared that it was being conducted strictly under the law. Capt Young Young is still living. The regular meeting of the St. Louis Poro Agents' Club, will be held Monday evening, March 3, at 6 o'clock at the meeting room, will be the close of the meeting, will be at the Arts Party. All Agents are asked to be prevented from infil. Published In The Interest Of Colored People E. ST. LOUIS RIOT MAYOR DEFEATED FOR REELECTION Mayor Molman and every candidate friendly to his administration were decisively beaten Tuesday in the first election East St. Louis has had under the commission form of government, which it adopted soon after the race riots of July, 1917. Mayor Molman ran tenth in the list for commissions receiving 1611 votes out of 1800, two years ago he was re-elected mayor plurality of more than 3,000, it being the largest ever given a candidate for the office. The blame for the East St. Louis riots was placed on the shoulders of Mayor Molman. His failure to remedy conditions before the riot and his failure to do anything to stop it, was denounced by prominent citizens, but his machine was strong and he had the drastic exposure of condition before the Congressional Investigating Committee that the public generally turned against the Molman administration. After that, the decline of the mayor's popularity was rapid. JOHNSON DENIES CLARION INTERVIEW A representative of the Argus called at Police Headquarters last Wednesday to discuss with Henry Johnson alias Albert Parker, Jimmie Franklin, Oliver Mitchell, James Wilson, his plight in St. Louis. He stated that the people in St. Louis had caught only the suspect, and could only get out of jail he would beat it" and quit trying to take the public. When assured by the reporter that we knew his friend and if he would tell the truth he could get help, Johnson stated that he was about ready to tell the truth as he had tried everything else in his efforts to free himself. When asked what his real name was, he stated that his name was Mison. Where is your home? New York City. Where are you living at Mobile, Ala? I was down there to see Judge Ennls who raised me. When did you first try the war hero act? Well, I heard so much about Henry Johnson and remembered I went. in that name once, I thought it a good chance to make my living because I am pretty well scarred up myself. So I got together a sort of uniform and had some pictures made and started out. Where were you living? New York. You see I went South where the folks don't know me. Where did you first meet Rev. Show? At Mobile. I had just been robbed of a hundred and seven dollars and my watch, and a crowd was around me, and I had some ladies selling my pictures and Rev. Shaw came up and asked who I was, and I told him I was Henry Johnson from New York. Next time I saw him at my boarding place; he was taking his meals there, my watch, and a crowd was speaking? I didn't get so much for speaking, but the folks just gave me money everywhere I went and bought my photos at 50 each. Didn't you tell a representative of the St. Louis Charlton that at the time Rev. Shaw met you, you were seedy and he told you to fix yourself up? No! I had money and would be making plenty of it right now if I had not come to St. Louis. But the worst place I could find I have never seen Charlton reporter. It's all a lie. The newspapers have never given me a fair-deal. I hope you will tell the truth just as I am giving it to you. And please send my clothes down here for I am sick. I will die if I stay much longer. SOLDIERS DRILL AND MUSICALE A SUCCESS The entertainment given at Corinthian Baptist Church Tuesday evening, February 25th, was indeed, a success. The concert given by the young people of Carondelet was both interesting and intellectual. Much oratory was displayed and the thoughts, and views expressed were very impressive and to the point, and will no doubt cause humility to realize that it has young talent that can compete with any in any part of this city. Special mention is made of the addresses by Mr. Wm. Officer, Miss Pearl Swartz and Sergeant Isaac Bates. The subl., "Carondelet's failure, her needs and future prospects," delivered by Sergeant Bates, was one of the best ever heard in that vicinity. It was impressive the man is so kind and student an oratorical genius and gives promise of being one of St. Louis future leaders. NEW EXPERT SERVICE AT THE ACCURATE LAUNDRY CO. The management of the Accurate Laundry announces that they have secured expert women for important services in their system and can now give the very best satisfaction in all laundry, work. Owing to the trouble getting and keeping good, efficient help during the war the company acknowledges the fact that the best service was often not to be bad, but this has been corrected and absolute satisfaction is guaranteed. New Service The Accurate Laundry Co. has also installed a new service. Patrons can now get Finished Family Wash done almost as cheap as rough dry. This should be good news to the patient housekeepers. For further information phone Klinch, Central 6822-R; or ask their driver.

Steele is a St. Louis boy, Billings is from Springfield, Mo. William lives in Hannibal, Mo., and Smith in Nebraska City, Neb. Other St. Louisans who won the cross of war are Eugene B. Clark Roy Sims, William Bush, Le Grau and Hodea Hubert. It will take a lot of of history to record the doings of these gallant men. Their unit was called the "Battalion of Death," because it was not believed by the French that they would ever live to take a dangerous objective when they were sent out, under murderous fire one eventful day. They not only won where thousands of French had fallen, but they always advanced, or retreated, and usually went beyond their goal. They always opposed the flower of the German army, but they broke one of the strongest porches of the Hindenburg line, and had to hike to the Hindenburg line, in pursuit of the feeling we were catching them just as the curtain went down on the greatest war in history.

It is understood that the plan of the War Department is to wait until the entire division is here before demobilizing. If this is carried out, St. Louisans will get to welcome more than 500 of its brave sons at one time. Our boys will probably be sent to Jefferson Barracks or Camp Funston to be mustered out of service. This should be "BLACK DEVILS" AND "RATTLESNAKES" ARE WARMLY WELCOME St. Louis never more earnestly extended welcome than she did Tuesday day when the brave heroes of the 368th Infantry, known as "The Battle Snake" Regiment; and 370th, known as "Black Devil" paraded the streets. About 150 men were mustered out of service at Jefferson Barracks at 10 in 1861, taken in charge by a committee of the club, which had gone to the barracks in mobilities. The excess baggage, belonging to the men was sent to the Boaters' headquarters and the men brought to St. Louis by train. An immense crowd met them at Union Station where the soldiers started on parade accompanied by the Boaters' Club and two bands. Captain Shackleford was grand marshal. The majority of the soldiers brave wore their treach helmets to St. Louisans. Great masses of citizens to a line of march, greeted the boys with cheers.

AMERICAN OFFICERS ARE JIM-CROWED ON TRANSPORT St. Louis Lieutenants Arrive in New York City LIEUTENANTS LOWE Three St. Louis officers reached New York Tuesday with the 365th Infantry, of the 12th Division. The were Lieut. Walter Lowe, Lieut. Charles H. Fearing and Lieut. C. Udell Turpin. Other officers were: Lichtenstein J. R. Falke of Kansas City; J. C. Banks, Columbo; I. H. Morse, Excelsior Springs. There were 15 St. Louis privates with the 365th First Volunteers Return. Eight of the nine St. Louis boys who were first to volunteer and went to Metropolis, Ill. Joellist in the old 8th Regiment, in the early part of the war, returned home Tuesday morning. None of them were injured, except Dan Ewell, who was wounded in the shoulder. He is either in France or at a hospital in this country. (Special To 'The Argus.) New York, Feb. 25. Colored officers of 36th Infantry, 34th infantry, 35th Field Artillery were grossly insulted by being grouped together irrespective of rank, in a separate dining room, or more properly in the tea room, on board H. M. S. "Olympic" white shave-tail hutteants and white captains and field officers of some organization together with nurseries of coiled men's rank, Y. M. C. A. in main dining room. The engerger, Colored Officers Highly Indicted. The demand of Colored officers for fair play and their letters to Commanding General Gerhardt, resulted in his dodging issue by saying that the Colored officers got the same service in the main dining room. This paradox on democracy has aroused the greatest feeling of indignation among those officers some of whom they held against. They they felt that the Democracy for which they been fighting is either false to its pretenses or that southern generals are allowed to misrepresent the true spirit of the nation. General Gerhardt, Commanding U. S. troops, who returned home on board H. M. S. "Olympic," and Colonel McMaster, are both southerners of the 36th Infantry and are in positions and defiances done their officers or to accept responsibility for the condition. It being stated by former that he was not responsible. Feeling among the officers is anger at the lack of mental age and color of the 36th Infantry were salvaged and lost by order of Lieut. Oconnel A. E. Dietz, who commanded the organization in the latter months of the war. It is known that this is the result of a bad commander and a regard for foe that was astonishing to put mildly. Investigation on board the Olympic showed that British officials were not responsible, or at least they deceived responsibility for the aggression. One British officer came out but falsely with the statement, "It is not the policy of the British Government to discriminate. It is by order of your own Americans (which affect that arrangement was made). This sets a precedent on the British fleet which is subject, metropolitan and sanitary." The officer, who oversaw the route of the fleet of Stirling, was not issued by the British board. CALL GATES & MANUEL ...Undertakers...

ST LOUIS PHONES Office: Ball E. 1887 St. Clair 1696 R Rec. St. Clair 1720 R REV. S. V. TERRY. Rev. S. V. Terry, pastor of the Southern Mission Baptist Church, 2966 Market St., has made good. He has succeeded in organizing the greatest Literary in St. Louis, ably assisted by Miss Mamie Ray as president and other students of the high school, Misses Ray and Walker are pupils of Sumner High School. The debate held on Monday night was a great success, over 25 persons were present. Prof. W. H. King and G. F. Craven were to have debated against Mr. I. E. Banks and C. Scott, but on account of the absence of Mr. Banks no one in the audience would take the place against Mr. Craven, so he declined in honor of Prof. King and Mr. C. Scott. The subject was: "Has the War Benefitmed the Negro Race?" Mr. King, affirmative, did well and succeeded in making nine strong points. Mr. C. Scott took the audience by storm with a great display of oratory and won 12 points. Fifteen minutes were allowed each speaker. Monday night, March 3, the same discussion will be taken up in which everyone can take part. The principal address will be made by Corp. R. W. Buck, late with the famous 5th Illinois Infantry. Refreshments will be served free. Rev. Terry will launch a great revival to win souls for Christ. He is a young man with high ideals and the greatest gospel singer in the city. G. F. Craven, reporter. ST. JAMES CHURCH. The pastor preached a masterly sermon from Eph. 2nd, Chapter 13 and 14 verses. Theme: "Jeans Christ the ideal of a World Peace." The lesson was drawn from Paul's letter to the Ephesians when he compared what they were by nature and what they were by grace. The pastor made a striking comparison between the experiences of Paul on his way to Damascus, and the soldier. Like Paul, many of the American soldiers crossed the mighty ocean with nothing but contempt and loathing for a despaired race. But when they met on the bloody battle fields of France, fought shoulder to shoulder, endured the same horrors and suffered the same agony as the shrapnolt tore their flesh they emerged from that indescribable torture believing in the Brotherhood of man. The dead who are sleeping in France are the ones who had the greatest part in this war. The rows of crosses in Flanders are the most powerful. The spirits of the boys who so nobly made the supreme sacrifice control the thoughts of men who are alive today, saying: "Do not give up the struggle." It is over the ocean of blood spilled by the fallen heroes, and when every great opposing force is brought together, that peace, will be established. Jesus Christ alone can bring peace, sweet peace that passeth all understanding. About twenty soldiers worshipped with us. After the service they were the guests of Dr. Peck and St. James at dinner in Poro dining room. Sunday School.

After their deliberations and at the conclusion of the program the guestes were escorted to the dining room where a sumptuous repast was served.

Eight p. m., Rev. Spurlock again occupied the pulpit and presented the subject: "Active Faith," which who no less inspiring than the morning presentation, regardless of the possible fatigue of the day of spiritual labor, which in reality is a compound of pleasure and fatigue, wherein the fatigue becomes a complete absorbent.

My flesh was so sore I could not stand my clothes to touch me. The palms ran from my hip to my leg to the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. I did not rest day or night; now I can sleep like a baby from 9 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the pain in my head were so severe I thought at times I would lose my mind. I feel better now than I have since last August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies. After had taken six doses of the New Discovery and the Blood and Liver Tablets, could I see a difference and when I had taken it steady for three weeks I was able to walk anywhere in the house.

Come and consult me and I will tell you just what you need. My specialty is curing bald spots, had taches and thin hair. I will teach these branches: hair and scalp treatment, facial and body massage, manicure and chiropody. Diplomas given. A heart to heart talk with every woman and girl. I will tell you why you need to use different oils and salves. I make and sell all kind of hair goods. Agents wanted; send stamp for a reply. CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEMIST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seabey's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinade-soap, a soap-made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full names. Price is 25c each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send as the price, and we will mail them to you direct.

WOODSUN, 320 In a writup of Medinah Temple of Shriners that appeared in The Argas, some weeks ago, when short sketches of the fraternal career of the officers of that organization were published, a just and satisfactory account was not taken of Illustrious R. S. Woodson, due to inadvertence. Through his uniting efforts, Morning Star Lodge No. 32, A. F. & A. M. Webater Grove, was reorganized. His term an District Deputy Grand Master of the 1st Midsite District of Missouri was most successful, and expired with creditable results. He is a past high priest of Farwest Chapter No. 2, R. A. M., past generalissimus, Tuscan Commandery No. 12 Knights Templar past oriental guide, Medinah Temple, Nobles of Mystic Shrine and an officer of Eureka Consistory No. 29, Scottish Rite Masons of the 32nd Degree. Elaborate preparations are being made by the 21 Pythian lodges and 17 Courts of Calanthe of St. Louis, for a large and enthusiastic Thanksgiving celebration on March 23. Medinah Temple No. 39, Nobles of Mystic Shrine, will hold their regular session Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Divan of the Temple met in an executive conference last Sunday and mapped out many important issues that will be presented the Nobles at their approaching meeting Sunday. The three newly organized K. P. lodges, since the recent grand lodge session at Sedalia in July, demonstrales clearly the master-power of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd to organize and lead men. He thinks in secret; systematically plans and invariably his efforts are crowned with success. Of the new lodges established, at Netherlands 23 men were enrolled, at Jefferson City, 25; at Dearring, 29. Royal Lodge No. 76 of St. Louis has added more than 37 new members to their number. J. B. Doctor Simpson spent a week in St. Louis on professional business, and returned to Florence, Ala., last Thursday, where he is located. Until October 12, 1918, the doctor was a practitioner in St. Louis. He was called to U. S. Hospital Service at the Government Air Nitrate plant, Muscle Shoals, Ala., and was followed later by his wife, who is in the employ of the educational department at the government plant. Doctor Simpson is well known in the fraternal and professional circles of this city. It will be of interest to his many friends to learn that he has met the requirements of the Alabama Board of Health to practice medicine in that state. He st. Louis regretting that he had not time to pay his many friends the social regards he felt was due them. Dr. Simpson is pastmaster of East Gate Lodge, A. F. & A. M. and a past officer of Prince Hall Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Among the overseas boys who are again to enjoy our fraternal intercourse is Chas. Howard Lucas, 1034 Illinois Avenue, who enlisted into service in the U. S. Army Nov. 27, and after training at Camp Logan, and Newport News, Va., arrived in France April 3, where he saw actual service until his resident was with drawn. Lucas comes to us with a graphic story of his experiences, at the rest 20th (illinois) Resident. He is recovering from a wound in the stomach that caused by a haynet attack. A German helmet and gas mask are among the riles brought to America by our veteran son. A reception was given in his honor. Saturday evening by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Board. More than 15 guests were present. Lucas is a member of J. Q. Johnson Lodge No. 30, A F & A M.

We doubt that the American citizens who could have resisted the circumstances—this was loyalty tested. According to a statement given out by Dr. R. R. Moton since his return from France, where he went following the signing of the armistice as a representative of the United States Government to advise and study the Negro soldiers says the Germans, after finding that the Negro soldiers were that irresistible foe of their Mighty Army, undertook to alienate those colored men by citing the many wrongs and injustices forced upon them in their own country by distributing literature which reads as follows. To the Colored Soldiers of the United States Army: Hello, boys, what are you doing over there? Fighting the Germans? Why? Have they ever done you any harm? Of course some white folks and the lying English and American papers told you that the Germans ought to be wiped out for the sake of humanity and democracy. What is democracy? Personal freedom, all citizens enjoying the same rights before the law. Do you enjoy the same rights as the white people do in America; the land of freedom and democracy, or are you not rather treated over there as second-class citizens? And how about the law? Are lynching and the most horrible crimes connected there with a lawful proceeding in a democratic country? Now, all this is entirely different in Germany, where they do like colored people; where they treat them as gentlemen and not as second-class citizens. They enjoy exactly the same privileges as white men and quite a number of colored people have fine positions in Berlin and other German cities. Why then, fight the German? Only for the benefit of the Wall Street robbers and to protect the millions they have loaned the English, French and Italians? You have been made the tools of the egotistic and rapacious rich in England and America and there is nothing in the whole game for you but broken bones, horrible wounds, spoiled health, or death. No satisfaction whatever will you get out of this unjust war. You have never seen Germany, so you are fools if you allow yourselves to hate us. Come over and see for yourselves. Let those do the fighting who make profit out of this war. Don't allow them to use you as cannon fodder. To carry a gun in this service is not an honor but a shame. Throw it away and come over the German lines. You will find friends who will help you along." Men are moved to commit rash deeds by imaginary wrongs, but here was a case of real wrong, a wrong that no one could deny, yet these black boys true and loyal, refused to allow even this citation to alienate them from the cause for which they were fighting—Democracy. This was a mighty challenge. We doubt that there are any other class of American citizens who could have resisted the temptation under the circumstances—this was loyalty tested.

It has been officially announced by the election commissioners that the petition for the recall of Mayor Kiel had failed for the lack of sufficient qualified signers. Just as we have predicted through these columns all along since this agitation began, the people have administered a nice rebuke to the promoters of such petty schemes. We regret however, that Proskil Felix Lawrence and their gang succeeded in getting their hands in the pocket of the public and extracting what we believe to be a nice sum of money which no doubt, will last them until another scheme can be devised by them. Impetus was given their first move with the referendum because it was aimed at the Negroes of this city. But thank God they have met their equals in this latest attempt. The promoters of this recall movement are Negro haters. It was they who initiated the segregation move. It was they who got out circulars against Dr. Riley, who was a candidate for State Representative solely because he was a Negro. They are not big enough to initiate any good move. Power and influence is what we all want. Don't envy a man because he has more than you. At least fifteen thousand people in St. Louis know just how the Globe Democrat "gobbles" up a news story; after reading the account of what happened at the Coliseum the other Monday night. The people of St. Louis are beginning to wonder what has become of the local Branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Attending the conference of the league of Nations, which was held in this city February 25 and 26, were to Negroes who were delegates—Rev. C. R. McDowell, Hannibal, Mo., and Prof. R. H.

Don't envy a man people in St. Louis know just how a news story; after reading the Coliseum the other Monday beginning to wonder what has been Association for the Advance- were seated at the table and upon which was the delicious three-course menu, served by Mrs. Ernestine Wilson and Miss Maa Cox. Those who enjoyed the affair were: Mr. D. F. Wells, Miss George E. Cannon, Mossers, Fred D. McCree Cornelius Johnson and G. W. King, Misses Maa, Patti C. Marie and Adelaide Cox, Miss Mary M.

Troy Meriwether, C. C.; Geo. Carter, M. of F.; Jan Miller, M. of Ex C. NOTICE. (Continued from Page 7) files, that they might know the truth in regards to the matter. I offered these same letters to The Clarion, that The Clarion might know and state the truth. The Clarion, in order that it might have an opportunity to slander one of the citizens of St. Louis, refuse to accept letters, and would not publish them. The dr. Dr. J. Lyle Caston, who is one of the citizens said to me, "You do not need to publish all those letters, just make a statement." I do not charge Mr. Caston with any insincerity, for he stated in The Argus, he believed all the ministers were sincere. Now, Mr. Robinson, knowing me to be such a fake, as you claim, why did you not, being a wise man and rightforward, investigate the matter? You published on the week to do it. Your paper four weeks, the coming of this man. Why did you not investigate this matter before you published it? You knew that Neoham Roberts gas in New York, for Mr. J. L. Caston was in communication with him, to have him come to this city. It seems to me, that if anybody needed to make an investigation before hurling to the world broadcast, it should be the newspaper man. Did you do it? I answer, no. There was not anywhere until the 14th day of February, when the soldiers landed in New York, bringing the real Henry Johnson. No one knew then, it was only a suspicion. In the first publication I made, I described the man that was to come here. The man I described did come and bore every mark of my description I gave. If you knew the history of the real Johnson, why did not you raise the question? I knew not what the prisoner would say about me, but I do know, that I am able to defend myself and prove myself innocent from any charge of fraud in connection with the impostor from Alabama. I am prepared to defend myself from even the alightest suspicion. It is so strange that the leading white papers of this city, who interviewed this would-be soldier and fake, did not find enough, all of them together, to charge any person or person with fraud in this connection. The Argus, the leading Colored paper of St. Louis, which was on the scoop every minute, during the investigation of this fraud and did not see anybody as a fraud connected with the scorned Mary Johnson. The Clarion goes down and takes a statement from what they call an ignorant cripple and faker, who is in prison, who had traveled more than 660 miles, without the aid of any promoter, and wishes to destroy eight of St. Louis' best citizens and ministers with such a fraud. He said that this importer declared he had never appeared before the people of Mobile as a speaker. This will prove to the world that there was a victious and wicked and anousible spirit, for C. K. Robinson to publish such things, when all other papers, with their millions back of them, who quote no favor, called to publish. To show that this fake Henry Johnson, did speak in Mobile I will publish the telegram I sent to the pastor of the largest church in the City of Mobile, and the answer, TELEGRAM February 14, 1819. Dr. G. W. Johnson 112 Bayou Street, Mobile, Ala. Do you know of a man that was in your city in December or any other time, by the name of Henry Johnson, who wore a soldier's uniform and who said he was the Henry Johnson who fought in No Man's Land? Write me all the news at my expense. Go to 55 Water Street, the people there will help you out. It was there that I met him. Wire me at once. (Signed) B. G. Shaw. The following is the answer to the above telegram: February 19, 1919 Dr. B. G. Shaw. 613 N. Garrison Ave, St. Louis, Mo. Henry Johnson was here, smoke in my church, also spoke for the Red Cross and assisted us to raise our money. He said he fought in No Man's Land. We published same in The Forum, with his picture. (Signed) G. W. Johnson. I wonder if. The Clarion will see how false it was in its statement, that this man never spoke in Mobile Ala. Somebody has falsified. The Clarion or the Rex. G. W. Johnson, who sent the telegram. Fill let the public pass its own judgment. I wish in close to say, that I am sorry from, the bottom of my heart that was fooled and that my brother ministers were fooled. I am tremendously sorry that the public was fooled, and I ask all the people of St. Louis, who have never been fooled. "Cast ye the first stone." I wish to say to the general public, that perhaps I did not go into the matter as deeply and minutely as I should, but who is it that has never made a mistake, and I say to you again, I am sorry. Now, Mr. Robinson, in my farewell words to you, you said the churches should refuse money gotten by open windows, and I said when you prove that this was an open fraud, I shall then, and not until then, refund my share of the money, less the expenses. My share will be one-eighth of the proceeds. If this money was so tainted, why did not Mister Robinson refuse it? Mr. Robinson, you got $31.00 of this tainted money. Turn yours over to charity and not use ill-supposed money as you consider it. While I only received one-eighth of the proceeds, but in your glaring headline on the booklet you paid the price that I took eight-eighth of the whole. Why give me the blame minus the gain? MADAM BEDFORD RUYS HOWE ON COOK AVENUE. Mrs. Sam Bedford, the hair culturist, manufacturer of "Bedfordia," has purchased the modern residence at $229 Cook, just across from her formwork, and moves in this week. Mrs Bedford, who friends to call and inspect her new home where "Bedfordia" service is much improved. We the underaligned minstrels of the City of St. Louis, deeply regret the shame of the fake Henry Johnson, coming to this city for our patriotic celebration at the Coliseum, Monday night, Feb. 17, 1919. We frankly acknowledge to the public that we warto deceived in this man, who claimed to be Henry Johnson, and because we were deceived, the public was misled. The patriotic celebration of victory for our American troops and especially the glory achieved by the Negro of America, and the return of our home boys were the things uppermost in our minds. We felt that the active community should be given an opportunity to jubile together; so we arranged a great program for the evening. We are not the only men that this Henry Johnson has deceived, for he has fooled many communities in Illinois, Tennessee, Kefutzky, Georgia and Alabama, and has engagements in Missouri and Arkansas. But we were those that he deceived and and did not escape the law. The article in The Post Dispatch of Thursday, Feb. 13, 1919 relative to Henry Johnson's regiment just returning from overseas aroused suspicion that this Henry Johnson programmed ter St. Louis was a deception. We included in conference to investigate the man as soon as he arrived in the city. Monday's investigation began, and the conclusion reached that this Henry Johnson was a fake. One of the ministers, in company with Mr. L. S. Williams made a street search for Defective Ira Cooper to take charge of this Henry Johnson. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Cooper was found and in conference, we decided to give Henry Johnson up to the authorities of the law. It is not true that the legal authorities came and arrested Henry Johnson and would not allow Johnson to appear on the program, but it is true that the ministers in charge of the celebration would not allow Johnson to appear on the program and voluntarily surrendered Henry Johnson to the officers of the law. One of the ways to build a race is to rid that of a great victory has been achieved in ridding the public of this deceiver, Henry Johnson. We feel that the public, notwithstanding the disappointment sustained, will appreciate the victory won by the arrest of this Henry Johnson, and bringing to an end many of the fake schemes to prey upon the public.
