STARVING REFUGEES.
Fifty oolored People Shipped Back from Kan
sas-Their Condition Lamentable
In the Extreme.
Lex
Tst. Louis Globe- Democrat. !

Immediate attention Is demanded to the
new aspect of the colored refugee question.
AT Union Hail. 1915 Christy Avenue there
were last night about fifty negroes, OF all ages
babes at the breast. They sat around quietly,
with demeanor of perfect resignation to
their lot And their lot was a hard one. They
had not had anything to eat for thirty hours.
To put the matter plainly. there has been
gross acknowledgement somewhere In relation
to these people. They came here two weeks
ago-refugees from Mississippi and Louis
lana.
Rev. Mr. Lack. of the PrOvident Associa-
ton, and Mr.. James E. Yeatman sent them
to Kansas out Of contributions made on be-
half of the unfortunate eolored refugees.
The .sfelief board" had nothing to do with
their transportation. and, indeed, it seems
that they were sent To Kansas against the re-
monstrances OF that body. which had re-
eeized instructions from the State authorities
of Kansas and from different colored commit
tees that AS many eoorsi refugees were
within the confines of the State as could be
conveniently taken care Of during the coming
winter. The relief board" wanted them to
be sent to Nebraska or Iowa, as applications
had been made here for colored labor on the
Burlington and Missouri Railroad. and at
Portsmouth, Neh, AM Burlington, Ia. How
ever the refugees We're sent to Kansas City.
Had 1t not been for the action of the authori-
ties and citizens there they would have
starved. No work could be procured, for
Kansas had already absorbed more than 1000
or 5000 refugees.
Particular indignation Is expressed against
Rev. Benjamin F. Watson. a Leading colored
man of Kansas City. He told the people that
he had received dispatch from the "reliet
board of this city. directing that they should
be sent to ST. Louis. The relief board en-
phaticaIly deny having sent such a dispatch
the board knew nothing whatever Of these
parties. On the strength Of the representa-
tions of Rev. Watson, owing to the inability
to otherwise provide for them, the State and
city authorities paid their way back to st.
Louis. Rev. Watson accompanied them to
East st. Louis, left them at the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi depot on Friday morning, and told
them that he was going to inform the conf
nlttee OF their arrival. He went to the relief
BOARD, stated that he had brought fifty col
nred people from Kansas City, and then
skipped. 10 the meantime the refugees
