J. E. Mitchell Wins in Circuit Court. Judge Kimmel Hands Down Decision in the Case. Attorney Grittenden Clark Makes Able Plea for His Client. The American Woodmen received another setback in its legal entanglements last Monday, June 19, when a decision from the circuit bench was rendered in favor of J. E. Mitchell, who brought suit against that organization to recover sick benefits that had been due him since February, 1998. The case was originally filed in a justice court and after delays, change of venue and excuses on the part of the order, Attorney Clark finally got them to trial in Justice Piffer's court where a judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff. An appeal was taken and W. C. White the supreme commander, secured the services of Frumburg and Russell, in addition to Attorney D. Bewles, to fight the case in order to avoid paying a just claim due one of its members. It was shown at the trial that the business order was conducted on business basis, and that the officers failed in carrying out the bryaws of the order. After hearing all the evidence in the case Judge Kimmel rendered a decision in favor of Mr. Mitchell, together with attorney fees. Attorney Crittenden Clark represented Mr. Mitchell and made an able plea for his client, showing that the practice of the officers of the order was the only guide by which a just decision could be reached. This contention was sustained by the Judge who handed down the decision. The order is in bad repute and many former members who state that local operations are too much of a "one-man affair". Another suit is now pending in the Circuit Court against the order, bled by Mrs. Sarah Smith. Mrs. Smith also won her suit in justice court. D ARCY TO SPEAK AT BUSINESS LEAGUE MEET IN ST.

BY ASSOCIATE NEAR FREMONT NEW LONDON, Conn., June 12—Clashes between Colored and white men have broken out on for several days, have reached their climax in a street battle. Before the rioters could be separated a detachment of United States marines had to be called out. For some time Negro seamen have been protesting that white sailors have been attacking them. Following a clash, two white blue jackets were arrested. Their comrades demanded that they be burned loose, and when the police refused, sought vengeance. They raided the Hotel Brutel, Colored men, and number of the parrons in the attack. Reinforcements arrived for both faceless and a fierce battle developed on Bank street. All the town's police and firemen were unable to stop the riot, and the marines were appealed to. These, by free use of butts, produced temporary peace Women's Relief Corps Annual Thanksgiving Col.

By Associated Nearro Press COLUMBIA, S. C. June 12—W. P. Pollock, of Crawford, formerly United States senator, in a commencement address at one of the colleges here, discussed a way to provide suffrage for the white women of the state, but eliminate the Colored women. He would base registration on legitimacy of birth, extending back three generations. His proposed amendment would read: "No person shall be eligible to vote in this state, unless such person shall present a registration certificate to the managers of the election; and no registration certificate shall be issued to any person, unless such person shall present sufficient evidence to the registration officials that such person is not an illigitimate to the third generation." It is well known that the white men of the South are responsible for 90 per cent of whatever illegitimacy there may be.

(Special to The Argus) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 3. Five Thousand delegates attended the sessions of the National Conference of Social Workers here last week. Every seize of the Industrial and Economic Problems concerning the Negro was thoroughly discussed. One of the principal speakers was made by Eugene Kinkle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League Mr. Jones brought out the fact that: Negroes are not usually welcomed in the highly organized trades; and when they do, through the favor of the circumstances, they are so-called "scabs" of these trades. The unions have refused to accept them as members and on the other hand brand them as scabs for working at a lower wage. Colored men are told they are disliked because they are scabs and they organize and pass resignations in the effort to move into the unions for the Colored men. The National and International Councils inform us that there is no discrimination recognized in the institutions of these great labor organizations but in the next breath admit that they cannot control their locals and the locals continue in their work of discrimination. Negroes are mainly engaged in the unskilled and semi-skilled trades and in domestic service which has always proved difficult of organization. Surely, the plight of the Negro working-man seems impossible but the Hand of Providence is unerring and unexpected forces are at work to bring to the Negro the opportunity he deserves and should have.

June 28 MOST OF POLITICAL INJUSTICES DUE TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY Conference in New Orleans to Take Definite Action on Conditions. By Associated Norse Press NEW ORLEANS, La. June 13.—A call has been issued for a conference to be held at the troubadour Club, this city, June 16-17, which is regarded as the most significant ever made. The object of the conference is to take drastic and definite action on the political condition of the Negro in America. Such conferences have usually been held in the North, and when held in the South have beclouded their true purpose. The callers of this conference, however, declare that the problem of justice are largely political and that that is the reason where the greatest infractions are made, and that the Democratic party is responsible for most of the troubles. That seems to be plain enough. The conference, in its New Orleans session, will issue an address to the country, and will arrange for a nation-wide convention to be held either in Indianapolis or St. Louis in August or September. It is proposed to have a woman's department, something new in the alterment of racial political activities. The committee acting for the national leaders who are interested in seeing the movement a success, are, Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans; Robert R. Church, Memphis, Tenn.; and Roscoe Conkling Simmons, Chicago. Among those invited are: Wm. H. Lewis, Boston; James A. Cobb, Judge R. H. Terrell and Finley Wilson, Washington; Perry W. Howard, L. K. Atwood, Charles Banks, Geo C. Cranberry, D. W. Sherrod, Missisipi, Louis B. Anderson, Ewd. H. Wright, Robert S. Abbott, Chicago; Geo W. Harris, Chas. W. Anderson New York; Henry L. Johnson, Benj Davis, Georgia; Dr. J. R. Lovy, South Carolina; W. C. Houston; D. C. H Phillips, C. H. Turpin, Missouri; A. J Perkins, J. B. Griggsy, C. A. Gilmore, C. F. Richardson, Texas; Dr. E.

NEW YORK PAPER PRAISES SUCCESS OF MME. WALKER Says "She Played the Game With True American Skill and Demonstrated that the Race May Rise to the Most Distinctive Heights of American Achievement. NEW YORK, June 11—The New York Evening Post declares that the last straw in the demonstration of the American's idea of success has been broken upon a white boy by the Madman Walker, in business, played the game with trub American skill Says the Post. "What more American than a millionaire whose fortune was made by patent hair restorative? The Negro race has racehair poets of note, composers, orators, a great educator, who also was a disgusted writer. But it itself the full stamp of Amercanism by producing in "Manam" Walker a woman who built up a great fortune on the formula for a scalp decoction. The Negro population—though it is denied she claimed ability to straighten hair her fortune is equivalent to one at least ten times as great made by sellers of patent medicines among white it was accumulated in years, and its possessor knew how to live and entrain richly. Negroes have been slow to show the full benefits of white civilization by blossoming forth as oil kings, movie magnates and magnificent stock exchange gamblers. Mrs. Walker demonstrated that they may rise to the most distinctive height of a man. Men who would do nothing but sneer at what Coloridaes-Taylor composed, Paul Lawrence Dunbar wrote, or Booker Washington built will be all respect when the Negroes have their full quota of millionaires."

Scott, Screener at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the University. The new official enters actively upon his duties July 1st. The selection of Dr. Scott as the executive officer of Howard University is regarded as a most fortunate one in all aspects and is viewed with great enthusiasm by the franks of the school, white as well as Colored. It is felt that the acquisition of Dr. Scott as a member of the staff of the leading institution of the land for the higher and professional training of the Negro, brings to its support a new and powerful influence for advancement along both educational and material lines.

The ripe experience and broad acquaintanceship gained by Dr. Scott by reason of his long connection with Tuskegee Institute internationals in the state of Georgia, has given stead in looking after the heavy responsibilities that will be entrusted to his keeping at this important center of civilization where real leaders of the Race are to be developed.

Lincoln Institute, the Normal Col- lege, Industrial and Agricultural State School for Negroes has ended another school year and its forty- seventh commencement has passed in to history.

PRICE 5 CENTS KUKLUX KLANAT WORK IN GEORGIA Fire Five Churches, Two Schools And A Lodge Hall. Whte Citizens RaiseSeveral Thousand Dollars To Rebuild Destroyed Property. By Associated Press News MACON, Ga, June 12.—Five of our churches, two schools and a lodge hall were fired at almost the same time in the city of Georgia, with indications pointing to concerted action by a party of white men who have revived what in days following the Civil War was known as the Ku Klux Klan. No clue to the incendiaries have been found by officers, who claim to have made a thorough search. A flash between an unknown Negro and a white merchant at Dennis Stalino, near Eastonton, is said to have been the origin of the outbreak. The man asked for a bottle of soda as the merchant started to close his store, and was refused. He is allowed to have made some remarks concerning at least being courteous on a hot night, and the companies of the Colored man took the quarrel. Before it ended, plats appeared, and many shots exchanged, no fatalities resulting. One of the churches destroyed was Ward Chapel, situated in a community where William H. Seward once taught school. The chapel was over one hundred years old. At a mass meeting of white people, $1,000 was raised as a reward for running down the individuals who fired the building, and the amount has been asked for of Gov. Hugh Bain. The whites have also raised several thousand dollars to help rebuild the burned buildings. The destruction of the property was condemned in mass meetings of both races. 806 Pioneer Regt.

Rev White preached at 11 o'clock and after a short recreational period the covenant was entered with great zeal. The night session was holy and solemn and calm as befitted the occasion attending our Lord's supper. Pastor Morris preached the communal sermon with such unusual zeal that every heart was quickened with love palpitating joy. Several of St. Louis' best ministers will preach for us next week; rich, rare treats will embody each night's service. Beginning Monday night, June 16 and continued through to June/22.

CHURCH Rev. E. D. L. Thompson, a native of West Africa, filled the pulpit at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The discussion was very interesting. He very plausibly stated that we can do nothing of ourselves and that we must advance on our knees and Christians should so live that God may use them for his glory. "Those who were present can never forget the Children's Day program of the Sunday School. A great work is being done and this is the best year of its existence. The superintendent is a man of great energy and usefulness. The program of the B. Y. P. U. was commendable. New life has been instilled into the membership and the members have taken hold with a determination to stop at nothing short of complete victory. Bro. I Clay gave a very helpful talk on the lesson. The pastor, Rev. Parker made a beautiful illustration on the tote. He outlined to the congregation conditions necessary for a world's peace that the soul must be in harmony with God, then the Holy Spirit of God will set your life aglow and your will entail all other souls. Let us set in a closer touch with God that peace may abide. Preaching at 8:30 p. m.—E. D. Buford reporter. SEVEN CHURCH UNION. The Seven Church Union met in its regular meeting June 10th. Rev.

Tabernacle Baptist Church, 2736 Pine street, of which Dr. S. A. Moseley is pastor, was filled to overflowing Sunday. Dr. Moseley, since his return from his western tour in the interest of the Western Baptist Convention, which is to convene in this city June 15, at Calvary Baptist Church, 2625 Morgan street. Rev. W. H. Harris, pastor, has made encouraging reports respecting the west. We consider that his trip was quite helpful to him, as he is the very picture of health and vigor. Dr. Moseley has never appeared to better advantage than he did Sunday morning, when he delivered his message, "Divine Sonship." He handled the subject in an eloquent, masterful way, and those who heard him will never forget his words of wisdom and inspiration. Many visitors were in attendance and several united with the church. The church is in a great financial campaign, and all the members are actively engaged in this movement. The fifth Sunday will be the great report day and our slogan is $6,000.00. The leaders of the Sunday School Department said to the pastor, "Best easy, we will bring up the amount required of us." The B. Y. P. U. under the presidency of Mrs. Lillie B. Lowe, will make good. The Mission Circles, led by Mrs. B. F. Woode, is not leaving a stone returned to bring up its plurata. The Missionary Band, under Mrs. A. L. Moseley, says "They know no defeat." The Brotherhood, Mr. A. B. Fowler, president, says "When the roll is called, they will be there." The Dorcas Club, led by Mrs. Amana Bassett, are seeing to it that the widows will not be left behind. The Victory Club, led by Rev. W. L. Owens, says "Victory shall be ours." The clubs of the different states seem to be shy of each other for they will not talk. They are trying to spring a surprise. The church has installed a new lighting system, which is a great improvement to its general appearance. If you want to hear a good, strong gospel, sermon, preached with the power of the Holy Spirit, don't fail to hear Dr. Moseley Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Strangers in our city are always welcome at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Come early if you wish to get a seat. WOMEN'S UNION AUXILIARY The Women's Auxiliary held its last meeting with the Baden Baptist Church. The next meeting will be held with Pilgrim Baptist Church Sunday. June 15, at 3 p. m. Mrs. Shivers, president; B. Coker, secretary. ST. PAUL MISSIONARY. 19th and Morgan Sts. The St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church is progressing under the pastorate of Rev. J. J. Cheefun. The congregation was especially honored by a lecture Sunday, June 3, delivered by Mrs Victoria Clay Haley whose inspiring words electrified the entire audience to the effect that a greater success seems eminent; ST. JAMES CHURCH. The services were well attended Sunday and quarterly meeting was a success despite the threatening weather in the foreground and the heavy downpour of rain in the afternoon. Presiding Elder Thurman preached morning and evening. His sermons were forceful, practical, full of Gospel truths and accomplished the good where unto they were sent. Rev. Christopher brought the message at 3 o'clock. The Sunday School is increasing in numbers, in interest, in enthusiasm. If you doubt the truth of this statement accompany your child next Sunday morning. The superintendent and cateleer of teachers will accord you a hearty welcome. The Boys' Band, under direction of our own Mr. John Sellars, gave their initial concert Monday night. The boys played well and did credit to their director who is untiring in his efforts to train them to be first-class musicians. The Men's Guild presented them with one-half their net profit from the "Verson Lecture. The Friendship Committee, will entertain the new members of the church in an informal social Thursday evening at the church. The reports showed the rounding up of a good quarter's work.

THE PERISCOPE Associated Negro Press Call of the Soul The call of the soul is expressed in a manner that is seldom seen in a short poem written by Professor Pearson, vice-president of the Georgia State Industrial College, and reproduced in a recent issue of The Southwestern, Christian Advocate. The expression is worthy of the full page devoted to displaying it by The Southwestern, and cannot be too generally read and remembered. Here it is with the title: VOICE OF THE NEGRO SOLDIER When I return from foreign shade and shora, My native land with joy. behold once more. If I have been a soldier true and brave. Risked limb and life my country dear to save. Yea, nations all from autocratic greed That they be wholly free in state and creed— While father, mother made and conserved food, And war bonds bought in loyal, cheerful mood— I will not ask for houses, favors, praise. As we resume the toll and peace of former days, But that you lift the cursed racial ban. Grant me the rights of any other Bombing the Bombers There is nothing to glott about in the amazing national, and international unrest, and the rioting, bombing and lynching going on in our fair land. It is a pity and a shame. However, the leaps and bounds with which the state of affairs is fighting may serve to stir the nation in such a way that our own troubles and misfortunes will be looked after. We have pleaded and denounced, implored and warned, but our voices have seemingly passed into the vapor of objection. We are all against anarchy and lawlessness of any kind, and have always been. We are noted for being the least demonstrative under the greatest provocation. The virtue of our patience is one of the amazing chapters of American history. But every time one of us is lynched or mobbed, they who do it are only grinding, the nation a little more closely to that uncivilized and disgrateful state called anarchy. The whole business of destruction must be stopped. Woman's Suffrage Woman's Suffrage, as a national privilege, is now put on the various legislatures to vote on the amendment, the 18th, to the United States Constitution, in order to make the privilege lawful. The South is against suffrage, for the principal reason that a clear and definite way has not been found to completely eliminate the women of our group. The South is frank about it, and one of the prominent senators in a recent address declared that while they were able to get away with disfranchising the men, he was not sure that they could repeat in disfranchising the women. "Therefore, he declared, "it is best to let South alone." The South, undoubtedly, is most presumptuous to mock that forever and a day, it will be permitted to hold the vote of expression against the majority of the population: The time is most certain of coming when women and the men of the Negro race will have the right, to vote, and have their votes properly counted. The white South's claim to "superiority" must be met in a square and not a crooked contest. Upon such a basis, we are willing to stake our all, and if they are not, they are either coward or poor sports, or both.

June 11, 2015. parts of economic conditions in this state are deeply interested in the movement of the Race looking towards voluntary, social regulation in natural communities, as well as cities and towns. It is not known whether the movement has been planned and encouraged, or whether it is coming about in the natural course of events. The people are getting to learn in communities of their own and particularly is this true of those who have the ambition to own real estate. Many of the Race leaders for years have been advising the people to live homes and it apparently is having much effect. Greater greediness and influence is the result of these conditions in South Carolina.

BILLY KING'S COMPANY MAKES HIT WITH "EQUAL RIGHTS" PLAY By Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, June 12 —"We are the most warlike people when let alone; the most peaceful when abused." With this amusing bit of humorous philosophy, Daily King, the performer, ushered in the most unusual theatrical performance ever presented by the Race for entertainment. The play known in theatrical titles as a "musical comedy" is that, and more. It carries a clever story bringing out the military success of the Race in France, the effort to get representation at the Peace Conference, the harbours and the final determination to be real Americans, and "fight it out on this line" if it takes a dozen Summers. During the dialogue of he play commitment reference is made of the old "Illinois Elight Regiment", representing the soldiers and the National Association of Colored People, representing organization. The play is being produced for several weeks at the Grand Theatre. There are forty people in the company, and the principals are: Mue, Rose L. Tyler, Sadie McCarver, Gerritude Saunders, Clarence Stevens, Macro Grewood, Ernest P. Whitfian, M. L. Slater, Manzie Campbell and Billy King. The costumes and various scene-effect surgegas anything ever seen in Racial showdom. Those who view the production declare that the theatrical profession is demonstrating its earnest desire to push the program for real democracy and justice. Mr. King is one of the best known performers and his home in Chicago, 2319 South Park Avenue is regarded as one of the most beautiful and elaborately furnished of any member of the Race anywhere.

By Associated Negro Press. ATHENS, Ga., —In a recent contribution to several newspapers, former President William H. Taft declares that the best friend of the Race is the aristocratic white of the South; that all the trouble comes from the ignorant white. This may be true in a sense, but there is a long way to go in order to get many sections of the South and its people educated up to the real understanding of American rights. In a lently editorial, speaking on the plan of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to have an organization with at least 100,000 members by the latter part of June, their great convention will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, the Athens (Ga.) Banner, a leading daily of this section declares. "It is indeed unfortunate for the Ne'groes of this nation to suffer from the acts of such lawless leaders who are not real Friends of the Negro; but his most cannibalous enemy. Such organizations will work harm to the Colored Race, rather than advance their interest. The representative citizens of the Negro Race, in this section of the nation will not endure any will their In Her Latest Screen Triumph "OUT OF THE FOG" SUNDAY, JUNE 15, At The Featuring ELMO LINCOLN and GRACE CUNARD PISODE OF MOUNTAIN" Best on Market Street, and LETON 4264 FINNEY BEST PHOTOPLAYS SHOWN WM.

There is a place in this nation for the Negro: He can live happily, and be prosperous, if he so desires; The whistle of the South is his best land. That has been proven whenever needed friends. No one realizes this more than the Negro. Unscrupulous Negroes and organizations of this kind do not represent the better element of the Negro Race and it may be depended that the Negro lanners of this section of the country will not lend their influence and aid to any such organization or set of men promoting schemes which can only work harm to the Negro Race and bring no good. The Banner announces that it has always "stoon for fair treatment of the Negro." That this is true from its plot of view, is not denied, but the above expression demonstrates the very strange point of view of many southerners, and, also, shows how very little such southerners know about what is going on in America among members of the Rape, and how they really feel about it.

IN MEMORIAM. In loving remembrance of my dear daughter, Lela Mac who departed this life three months ago. Three months have passed away, Yet time brings no relief; We miss you more and more each day. With sad and bitter grief. But we trust that you are happy In the mansion of the blest Where there is no pain or sorrow. But eternal rest. Jennie Carter, mother; sisters and brothers. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear father Nelson Green, who departed this life 13 years ago, June 11, 1906. Silently the shadows of evening gather Around my lonely door; While alone I sit thinking Of that sweet face I'll see no more. But some day I hope to meet him. And this aching void to fill. But all I have is memories And that grave on a distant hill. Sadly missed by wife, daughter and son. IN MEMORIAM. We join in memory of our beloved Louelia J. Hampton, who departed this life June 14th, 1918, and is the daughter of Mrs. S. A. Halt. Her suffering ended with the day. Yet lived she at its close. And breathed the long, long night away. She passed through Glory's morning gate. And walked in paradise I feel thy kisses over me thrill! Thou unseen angel of my life. I hear thy hymns around me thrill! An undertone to care and strife. Thy eyes upon me shine. As from a being glorified. Till I am thine and thou art mine And I forget that thou hast died I almost lose each vain regret In visions of a life to be; But, daughter, art: thou living yet. And dost thou still remember me? Mrs. John H. Wade and family IN MEMORIAM June again is here. The saddest month of all the year On the eighth day of June. Our dear, Roxy was taken away A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is still. A place is vacant in our hearts Which never can be filled. Two sad years have passed away. In the graveyard softly sleeping Where the flowers gently wave. Lies the one we loved so dearly. In her silent lonely grave, Days of sadness still comes over us; Tears in silent often flow. Fond memory keeps you near us Though you left two years ago, You shall never be forgotten; Never from our memory fade. Loving hearts shall always linger Around the grave where you are laid Home at rest, so sweetly slink in in thy Savior's tender care, Where there is no pain or weeping. None on earth can harm you there Mrs. Mary, Poston, Mother Mrs. Stella Sneed, Sister GRAND DANCE The Four Leaf Clover Social Club will give a grand dance and entertainment. Friday.

She was a devoted Christian and believed in nothing but right. She was married to Geo. Craig. To this union four children were-born, three now survive. As a mother, sweet-tempered, kind and loving; always to please if for the best. As a neighbor and a friend no better could be found. To know her was to love her. As a sister she was devoted to her Brother Lewis Villars. Her friends extend the deepest sympathy to the bereaved ones. We loved her, yes, we loved her But the angels loved her more And they have gently called her To yonder's shining shore. The golden gates were open A gentle voice said come, And with kind words unspoken She calmly entered home CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. By Miss H. N. Jones NETHERLANDS By Mr. Dave Young.

He looked to be about 23 or 24 years of age, tall, slim, well dressed. On inside of his coat the name C. W. Wilson was found stamped on a pocket. Several people claim to have seen the train, No. 806, slow up just after leaving the station, nor did it pick up speed until after it passed the switch in front of Yeager's house.

Scott, Special As- sistant ey the Secretary of War, who closes his connection with the War Department on the first of July, for the Dis- tinguished Service Cross. Mr. Scott has rendered to the Nation a Most valuable and far-reaching service. No man of the Nation,during the war gave more devotion to 4 given _ task and worked harder than Emmett J. Scott as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. The Distinguished Ser- vice Cross is awarded by. the Nation in recognition of the high-water mark in patriotic service and if Mr. Scott has rot brought himself by merit, devotion, loyalty, intelli- gence, dignity, dependableneéss, efficiency and concentra- tion, to deserve this recognitionthen we do not know what meritorious service is If the point is raised that Mr. Scott is a civilian, then the reply is at hand that the Dis- tnguished Service Cross was conferred upon Dr. Anna. Howard of the National Council of Defense who has the distinction of mobilizing the women during the war-period. Ir, Anna Howard deserves the Distinguished Service + Cross as clearly as ary ong who has received it and to our mind Mr. Scott is equally as deserving. While we are arguing the case, we have not the slight- est doubt but that the Secretary ofghe “War will recognize the service of Mr. Scott inthis way &s he passes out from 4 the Department on the first of July We endorse the above editorial: because Mr. Scott truly ren dered a most valuable service togZ sation in the peculiar positior which hé held. i.

Wé will not be surprised W find the white people of the South directing all of their ener@pand ‘geniusness io channels looking forward to enacting some kind of a. law or subterfuge. by which the colored women will be disfranchised. It will be the duty of the government to see to. it that the pro- vieions of the Amendments are enforced with equity and justice. We know that they-are now thinking of the Grandfather Clause which has so effectually disfranchised most of the Negro menof the South. Notwithstanding the fact that. those laws have from time to time been declared by the courts-of the land te be unconstitutional they have had a far-reaching effect in carry- ‘ing out thesr original purpose. | . ; + It may be a “Grand Mother’ Chyuse appended to the Consti- tution ef the several states, but the people teday are wiser, and will not accept this asa matter-of course.
