White Man MadIy infatuated with
Negro Woman Kills Her and
Fires Bullet Into Own Brain
MUST NOT ASSOCIATE WITH NEGROES
Wired from PocateIIa, Idaho, He Was
Coming Here and for Her to Meet Him

The causes that are believed to have
led Homer j. Martin, a white man of
Pocatello, Ida, to slay Annabel Ell
bert, a Negro woman, in her home,
1916 East Third street, Thursday
morning and then turn a revolver on
himself are clothed in mystery. The
woman was dead and Martin was dy-
ing when a man believed to be a col
lector called at the house shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock.
When police of the Flora avenue
station reached the scene they found
the body of the woman lying in the
bath room, two bullet wounds in her
head. Martin, unconscious and suf-
fering from a bullet wound in his
head, was found nearby. Under his
body was a 80 automatic revolver,
with three empty cartridges.

FOOLISH NEGROES.


In barber shops, pool halls and on
the street corners, Negroes are dis
cussing the prospect of this country
entering into the war and some of
the Negroes have said: "This is a
white mans country" this is a
whit mans war" have nothing to
fight for" and 81 wouldn't fight for
this country" The cause for uttering
these remarks is not from a heart
feeling of disloyalty, but mainly from
plain ignorance or lack of intuition
to see things in a right light. A
black man or white man, for that
matter, who has no interest in his
country; who does nothing for its
progress; who would not fight in its
defense and who so expresses him
SELF is considered in the same class
as a traitor or a spy, and if he is.
subjected to the severest treatment
ne has no appeal to Caesar" The
fact is the Negro is a citizen of the
world. His is not a history of dis
loyalty and he willingly fights the
wars of his individual country. 1t
would be fine thing if the intelli-
gent Negro could influence this
thoughtless class to talk less and
listen more. And it would be better
thing if the preachers of the race
would take advantage of their posi-
tion as leaders, that is, those who are
capable of doing so, to discuss with
their congregations the vital prob
lens of this practical life, as well as
those of a vague spiritual world

The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-03-31

In the house officers found a tele-
gram sent to the woman by Martin
from Pocatello, stating that he expect
ed to meet her here. In pockets of
the mans clothing were found $55,
watch and papers that indicated he
was a railroad brakeman.
Annabel Ebert. or Wilson, as she
was known here, has lived in Kansas
City for several years, coming here
from Leavenworth, Kansas, with two
other sisters. She was out West for
some time and it is supposed there is
where she met the man who slew her.
Parties who knew her said she had
expressed fear of Martin as he was
bitterly opposed to her associating
with colored men. She left Idaho to
get away from him, they say, but he
came 1900 miles to kill her.

SOUTH HAS PROVEN
HER PATRIOTISM
DIXIE SHOWS NATION WHERE
SHE STANDS IN WORLD WAR
MATTERS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 18.-If any
thing at all Should be needed to show
the people Of the world that the South
has both money and patriotism, and
is sepnding the former and properly
boarding the latter, it is only neces-
sary to consider the laest figures on
Liberty bond sales from the different
federal land bank districts through
out the country.
Eleven OF fhe twelve federal re-
serve banks reports, included in these
being the Richmond and Atlanta
banks. he total for these districts
shows that the people had invested
in the second call for bonds 10 the
extent Of $528,230,S5O, but the inter
esting feature is that the Richmond
bank purchased to he extent Of
$24,659,600, and Atlanta piled up
more than $7,O0O,OOO
While the Treasury Department is
lEdDlS W GAPldlA WHY LllSLc SUCLlI
be SO great variance between these
two Southern districts and why there
should be apparently more money
and more patriotism in the Richmond
district than in Atlanta, the fact, is
developed that with an additional
four and one.half million dollars
from Dallas, the grand total is such
as to awaken the eyes of the world
to the fact that the South has money
and plenty of it to subscribe to the
Liberty bonds.
The best indication from a South
ern standpoint is that farmers there
are big buyers. Whether or not the
war has helped them, their cotton
selling at almost thirty cents a pound
has filed their pockets with money
and they want in most cases, for moth
ing. After paying off their debts they
are investing their surplus in bonds,
which they know are substantial, bet

WANTED 10000 VOLUNTEERS
FOR CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA
BY A. M. souLE

Georgia and to perform the voluntary
| service work asked of us by the Fed
eral Food Administration, a campaign
has been instituted in the state OF
Georgia to secure the signing of the
necessary pledges and the distribution
of kitchen charts and such other lit
erature as may be necessary to fully
inform our people as to how and what
to save. No inventory of the food
supply of the individual is to be made
| Nc money is to be collected. This
campaign is to be instituted, it is hop
| ed, by sermon or announcement
from every pulpit in the state OF
Georgia on October 2Sth.
he campaign will be in progress
for one week. During that time,
Georgia, if she does her full patriot
ic duty, and she has never failed to
surpass the requirements placed up
| or her in any previous hour of ma
tional peril. must secure the enroll
ment of 100000 householders during
that week. 1t is is a tremendous task
1t is problem of educating the whole
state to a new ideal with reference
to the conservation Of food. Il can
and will be done, however, and in or
der that our people may be fully in
formed about this matter a state ex-
ecutive committee has been appoint
ed. It's membership includes many
of the ablest leaders in the state of
Georgia. They in turn will appoint a
committee Of IL or Is aggressive citi-
zens to work in each county and so
the work will be organized right on
down to the militia districts.
AS a result each canvassar should
have only six to twelve individual
signatures to obtain to the pledge
card. Working as volunteer my
self under the Food Administration,
| ask the active and sympathetic
cooperation and the ardent support
of every individual, organization,
business industry, cooperation, school
and college in the state Of Georgia,
that the end in view may be accom-
Dlished quickly and satisfactory.
especially appeal to the women of
the state through all their multifar-
ious organizations to see that Georgia
stands at the head of The list in the
matter Of food conservation.
