EARLY CAREER OF
E. P. BLAKEMORE
Prominent Kansas Lawyer
WIeIds Potent Influence
BORN ON FARM IN TENNESSEE

Rise Of an Ambitious Country Boy
Who Worked His Way Through
School and Achieved Success In the
Legal ENTHUSIASTICALLY Esteemed
by Both Races at Wichita. Kan.
Wichita, Kan.-One Of the strongest
advocates of equal Justice to our peo-
pie in this section of the country is At.
torney E. p Blakemore, who enjoys
the confidence of the people of both
races in Kansas. He has made a good
record In his profession as well as
along other lines which mean the up
lift and progress Of the race.
Attorney Blakemore was born In
Crockett county, Tenn. His boyhood
days were largely spent on the farm
until his parents moved to Nashville
where he had the opportunity of at
tending the public schools.
His early impressions of manhood
were received through the advice and
instruction of President Braden while
a student at Walden university, which
was then known as the Central Ten
nessee college. He was an unusually
bright student, and President Braden
took great interest In him. After fin
ishing the normal department ut Wal
den he took up law In the same school.
with honors in 1903, and
then started out to make his mark In
his chosen professor. He was proud
The Denver star., 1916-10-28

Of the fact that he had worked his
way through school. His father was a
Methodist minister Of very limited
means.
Young Blakemore started out In life
without money. but with few friends
who knew him while a student In
school. who gave him much encourage
ment. He did not remain In Nashville
He went to a strange city. among
strangers, to start life. He began the
practice of law at indianapolis, Ind.
after taking the examination and was
admitted to the bar. He secured All
Office and hung out his shingle. Little
by little he worked up q clientele.
With his practice and practical knOwl-
edge Of things, after two years he went
to the Indian territory, locating at Ok
mulgee, which was the capital Of the
Creek nation. He remained there for
six years. during which time the In
dian territory was admitted into the
Union as the state of Oklahoma.
Lawyer Blakemore was considered
among the best practitioners In Okla
homa. saying nothing about race or
color. He was persuaded by some OF
his friends to come to Wichita, Kan.
one OF the most progressive cities In
the west. The people were calling for
progressive men such as Lawyer Blake
more had become. His ability soon be-
came known, and his services were
sought by all classes Of people. HE
clientele grew, as well as his p0pu-
larity.
An unusual thing in the life Of this
young lawyer is his great courage I'M
der trying circumstances. He Is one OF
the local attorneys for the street rail
way company Of that city and also for
the Arkansas Valley Interurban Rail
way company. He is the first member
Of his race to hold position Of this
kind with the company, and he Is max
ing good. He Is demonstrating the fact
that 1t is not the color but brain. that
counts in the great battle OF life, for.
rs he says, knowledge knows no color.
Among his personal friends Is Mayor
o. II. Bentley. To show the influence
Of the man, he secured thirty automO-
biles in Wichita. Sept. %. and carried
Bishop II. BlantOn Parks and the en-
tire Kansas African Methodist confer
ence for ride through the city and
suburbs. Mr.. Blakemore headed the
line, and the next car carried Mayor
Bentley, Commissioner Schell and
Bishop and Mrs. Parks. In tile next

DRASTIC ACTION TO
RELIEVE The ACUTE
FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. lJ-Drasuc
action for the relief Of the shortage OF
freight cars in certain sections of the
country is expected to result from the
conference here Friday between a
committee Of five railroad presidents
and Commissioner c. c. McChOrd.
This is the belief Of majority of the
railroad representatives present at
hearings being held here in connec-
ton with an investigation into the
exchange and return OF eQuipmet by
the cOuntrys railroads.
The testimony offered al the hea7-
ings, which have been in progress Tor
The last week. has related almost OK
clnsiyely TO existing conditions. Hut
little has been attempted 10 provide
immediate relief as result of the
disclosures made except as regards
the supply Of coal and refrigerator
cars. Now. it is the belief of railroad
representatives. the committee Of five
presidents, who will represent the
American Railway Association, will
endearor. in conjunction with Com
missioner McChord TO work OUT some
temporary arrangement which Will
relieve the shortages OF all sorts If
revision Of the car service rules as
will prevent their recurrence.
Commissioner MCChOrd. comment
ing this afternoon upon the fact that
many railroads were not represented
at the hearings, declared that though
he was reluctant 10 rio so, it seemed
he would have 10 take action TO com.
pei the desired representation.
