GENERAL PALMER'S PROMISE
TO NEGROES WILL BE KEPT.

Colorado Springs, Dec. 13.-A
verbal promise, made by General
William j. Palmer some time be-
fore his death, is to be sacredly
kept by his executors, and the Ne
gro population of the country will
be the recipients of bene6cence
that he planed but did not live TO
carry out.
General Palmer decided, several
years ago, to give site for an in
stitution for the care of superan-
nuated Negro clergymen. There
was a contingency that the Ne
groes should go ahead with their
plans to build home, and now,
after lapse of years, the plan is
to be carried out.
The Negroes are in position to
provide for the helpless ministers
of their race, and negotiations are
being conducted with the Palmer
estate to give them the old Deac-
oness hospital.
The new Deaconess hospital
needs more ground which was ORR
glnallv intended as the Site for the
Negro home, and the Trustees of
the Deaconess hospital have prac-
tically decided to deed over the
old properly to the Negroes in ex-
change for ground which General
Palmer had promised to them.
George II Krouse, the resident
executor of the Palmer estate, is
favorable to the idea, and only a
few details remain before the ex-
change can be consumnared.

A few days ago John w. Thomas
a Negro, planked down something
like $4,000 cash for a piece of
farming land south of Hutchinson.
Thomas also closed a deal about
the same time for the sale OF IA
farm southwest of town for Slo,-
900. Thirty years ago Thomas
came to Kansas without a dollar
and took odd jobs such as he could
get. But unlike the majority of
his people, he did not stay in the
city, but sought the country and
began farming. Today Thomas is
worth not less than $4,000, owns
a couple of farms and some city
property, has a touring car and en-
Joys other luxuries of life. He
