To be exact when the officer pulled
his box at 1900 o'clock he received
notice to be on the lookout for two
holdups. At 1855 he had the right
men. Your correspondent was trudg-
ing home through the snow when the
officer hailed him with the statement
that he was headed in the same direc-
tion. He said: I am stalking four
fellows, two of whom answer the de-
scription given of a pair who did
piece of work in the earlier part of
the night Williams here followed
them into Browns restaurant and then
into cornor saloon. The next morn.
ing the first thing read in the Kansas
City Star was the account of the cap
ture of four Negroes by Officer Will
liams and the heinous crime two of
them had committed. Reynolds and
Williams not satisfied with robbing
Mrs. jackson, of 2312 Park, had
dragged her into a nearby lot when
each in turn abused her according to
their own statement made to Officer
Williams in most brutal manner.
But the story is old. The criminals
have been tried convicted and are now
waiting to have the death penalty pro-.
nounced upon them which Judge Lat
shaw will do Saturday morning."
The Press Was Mild.
The newspapers of Kansas City told
the story with the absence of excit-
ing and inflammatory head lines. In
fact it was only since the trial be-
gan. And in this matter the public
press has the everlasting appreciation
of the Negroes of this Community for
treating the matter in manner that
did not cause every self-respecting Ne
gro to feel as mean and miserable as
the culprit must feel himself

RgRourlNe VINE STREET CARS.

A btrch of crabid, disgruntled
North-enders who have made what
little money they have from Negro
patronage are alleged to be using all
the means at their command to Sc
cure rerouting of the Vine street
cars which go out independence ave-
nue. and serve a territory largely popu-
lated by Colored people and urging,
instead, the Sunset Hill cars be sent
that way, so that they may have an
opportunity of rubbing up against the
aristocracy of the South Side (what-
ever good that will do them) instead
of being brought in contact with the
horny-handed but honest laboring ele-
ment of both races in this city. These
alleged boosters" have no care for
the inconvenience to which they put
the Negro patrons of the South and
North Side, who being largely labor
ing class, must necessarily get to their
places Of employment early and on
time but rather to seek their own sci
fish ends b. trying to build Up their
territory on racial prejudice and snob-
berry. Will the city authorities or the
Metropolitan Street Railroad fall for
such petty, niggardly conduct as this?
Very little consideration is paid to
Negro patrons anyhow by the Kansas
City Railways system and yet when it
was seeking renewal of its franchise,
its most loyal and consistent support
ers were among the hard working,
honest-thinking Colored people of this
city If you're going to reroute the
Vine street cars so that the patrons
of the territory it serves cannot get
down town for an hour or two then
take them off altogether or give its
patrons a SQUARE DEAL.

OBITUARY.

OBITUARY.
John Wesley Williams was born in Eu-
faula, Ala, February 10, 1870, died De-
cember 81, 1916, at 10:4O n. M. at the age
He came to Kansas City in 1892, joined
the Church in 1895. He leaves two BROTH
ers, w. S. Parks and L. G. Parks, both
OF Kansas City, Kans., also an aunt, Eliza
beth Charles, and an uncle, Madison Lo-
max. and few cousins.
Just as the old year was closing
out, and sealing up the history it had
made during the three hundred and
sixty-five days of it's existence, the
Messenger of Death came into the
home of Office John Wesley Williams
and summoned him to appear before
the close fthe old year in the pres
ence of God his creator. John w.
Williams was one of the bravest, most
gentlemanly and best liked officers,
regardless of color, on the police
force of Kansas City. He was a fine
speciman of Negro manhood: ply
sically he was more than six feet
tall, straight as an arrow, athletic and
well proportioned. He was a model
citizen before his appointment as a
police officer and continued as a model
officer. He was for four years before
his appointment as a patrolman, a
member of the fire department and
was as popular there as upon the po-
lice force. AS an officer Mr. VIII
liams was terror to evil doers and
friend to the unfortunate and needy.
He was a member of the Christian
church at Twenty-fourth and Wood
land avenue; also member of Amos
Johnson lodge A. F. & A, NJ. The
Negro race in this city feels that it
has suffered an irreparable loss in
the death of this brave and lovable
officer. 1t was Officer Williams who
captured the Negroes who assaulted
Mrs. Jackson (white) some seven
years ago and the following story pub
lished in the Afro; American of St.
Louis by w. G. Mosely as correspond
ent bespeaks the sentiment of the
better element of Kansas City:
'If there is a man of whom the
Negroes of Kansas City should feel
justly proud, that man is John W
Williams, police officer. 1t was his
quick work that landed two ex-convicts
with their two companions in a cell
in No. 6, police station within less
than an hour after a description had
come to him over the Gamewell alarm.
