geons are saving human lives to-day
in cases where few years ago the
patient would have been counted as
mortally wounded. This is partly due
TO the fact that with this modern
equipment and swift movement the
most difficult and delicate operation
may be performed oftentimes within
sound of the big guns along the line
OF battle.
Some of the best known surgeons in
the United States are engaged in this
work and daily and nightly are per-
forming operations during battle
which would have been impossible in
previous wars.

A coWARDLY MURDER.

Harry Brown, % years of age, son
of Mrs. Laura Brown, a widow of
Mecca, Mo-, and a brother of DR.. G.
w. Brown, one of our best known and
most popular physicians, was struck
with a stone by a young Negro named
Dade at the Lyric Hall last Saturday
night and died Wednesday morning.
Young Brown, who had just come
here from Minneapolis, where he has
been employed, IN response to a no
tice from the War Department to re-
port for duty, was in company with
a young woman of whom Dade was
extremely jealous and was struck
down without warning.
Brown was a graduate of Western
College, Macon, Mo-, and had volun-
teered in the service last summer, but
had been rejected at first but on sec
ond examination was accepted and
was here to report.
The funeral was held at II o'clock
Friday morning at Mecca and quite
few friends of the family we're in at
tendance while the floral offerings
were very beautiful. Besides his
mother he leaves four brothers and
three sisters to mourn his loss.
Dade has been arrested and is now
in jail awaiting trial.

HOSPITAL PAYMENTS.

Payments of pledges to the Wheat
ley-Provident Hospital still continue
to come in, though rather slowly, and
the Board of Managers hope before
the dedication, however, September
29, to collect at least $1,000, and ex-
pect that an additional thousand will
be raised ON the day of the dedica-
ton.
One of the pleasing incidents of the
week which deserves mention was the
subscription of five dollars made by
Mrs. Versia Rice, one of Kansas City s
popular and well known matrons, who
said that none of the solicitors had
ever been to see her, and yet she and
her husband felt that it was their
duty to make contribution to laud-
able enterprise of this character. The
following have completed their pay
ments during the week:
5000

$500

FORT RILEY, KANS.

There are Johnnies by the score
Who will face the fire of war,
Without a bomb or rifle in their hand
They'll be men marked by the foe,
Yet they'll never have to go
With the troops that fight and fall in
No Mans Land.
You will fight them there with bells
When the gunners yell for shells,
And the front line trenches holler for
their chuck;
And while shy on reputation,
AS the heroes of nation,
They are master drivers of the army
truck
What care they for praise and cheers,
If the piston brakes and gears
OF their transports but withstand the
racking strain?
They've route tHat grants no cnange
When the boches get their range,
They must drive from here to hell and
back again,
They will more than see it thru
Make deliveries P. D. @.
They've a perfect blend-efficienc
and pluck,
So We'll use this legion mighty
In the days of peace and blighty,
In the way they served the army on a
truck.

in every way possible. Prof. j. Silas
Harris and Mr. Steward of the Asso-
ciated Press made short but convinc-
ing arguments Major N. Clark Smith,
director of music of Lincoln High
School, assisted by a number of his pu-
pills, furnished an excellent musical
program. After the meeting it was a
consensus of opinion that the Negro
Home Guard for Kansas City was only
a matter of very short while. The
several companies present were freely
applauded for their fine soldierly ap-
pearance and their captains looked
the part. Too much praise cannot be
given to DIR. Dibble for his great work.
DR.. Dibble is also one OF the ply
sicians of the Home Service Section
of the Red Cross and is physician and
surgeon for the Negroes employed by
one of the largest corporations in the
city, the Kansas City Bolt & Nut
Works. He is graduate of the fam

FIVE SOLDIERS HANGED.

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE
five Negroes whose sentences to death
were pronounced by court-martial
which tried them for participation in
the Houston riot and whose sentences
were approved by President Wilson,
were hanged at Fort Sam Houston at
daybreak today. No civilians were al
lowed to witness the execution of the
sentences, which were carried through
with great secrecy.
Those who paid the death penalty
were all members of Company | of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry. They are:
Privates Babe Collier, Thomas Nc
Donald, Joseph Smith. James Robin
son and Albert D. Wright.
The men were convicted at a court
martial conducted in October, 1917, at
which Brig. Gen. George X. Hunter
was president.
Ten other members of the Twenty.
fourth who were sentenced to be
hanged by the court-martial, were

the best representatives of the Negro
race in Kansas City, thereby giving
the speaker an opportunity to con-
graduate the race upon it's wonderful
achievements during the past half CEN
tury and to assure them that the white
people of this great commonwealth
were in sympathy with them in their
struggles to reach highed plane in
the activities of mankind. Col. Jones
paid splendid tribute to the leaders
of the race in Kansas City, declaring
that, in this respect, Kansas City led
all other cities in this country. He
stated that he had no room in his
heart for race prejudice and that he
was fully converted to the idea of
forming a Negro battalion for Kansas
City. The speech was most con-
vincing argument and won a warm
place in the hearts of the Negroes for
Col. Jones. Hon. w. C. Hueston pre-
sided and spoke eloquently for a
square deal" for his people. Prof. J.
r. e. Lee, prince of promoters, was at
his best, and the people added one
more star to his many for leading in

is veteran of the Spanish-American
War, having served as Lieutenant
of the Medical Corps with the Ninth
Louisiana Immunes Regiment that
saw active service under Roosevelt in
Cuba. In every movement for racial
uplift he has given loyal and faithful
service. And as the directing spirit
and commanding officer of this EN-.

he will doubtless achieve the same re-
markable degree of SUGGEST, ,rshat has

MARTIN Is FREED OF MUIR
DER CHARGE.
Jury Out Forty-Five Minute Only
When It Found Columbia colored
Boy Not Guilty.
SELF DEFENSE PLEA WAS A
STRONG ONE.
Man Exonerated Makes Statement Ex-
pressing His Thanks for
Treatment.

Theodore Martin, of Columbia, the
Colored boy charged with the murder
of Romeo West, right hand man of
President Allen, former head of Lin
coin Institute, was found not guilty
by jury in the circuit court last We'd
nesday. He was Immediately dis
charged from custody and walked out
of the court room free man,
The trial came to a conclusion after
the attorneys had finished their argu-
ments Both sides were we'll present
ed, but the demeanor of the defendant
on the witness stand had much to do
with the creating the idea in the minds
of the Jurors that he had killed West
only in an effort to prevent West from
killing him first.
rhe fact that the automatic pistol
found on West had not been discover
ed until the morning after the shoot
ing raised some doubt in their minds,
but the fact that West had made some
previous efforts to stag Martin with a
fish-gig and had made threats were
sufficient to warrant the belief his life
was in danger,
After receiving the instructions from
the court the jury took forty-five min
utes to make up it's mind which it is
understood was a unanimous opinion
Last night Martin made the follow
ing statement:
Il desire to express my thanks to
my friends, both white and Colored
for thir most kindly consideration
during my'stay here as manager of the
boarding department at Lincoln In
stitute and also for the degree OF re
gard in which l was held while under
a cloud awaiting trial was always
made to feel as though as l were q
citizen and never at any time was
Inundated.
Il also wish to express my thanks
to the officers of the law and the daily
press of the city, particularly the
Capital News, and shall strive to live
in the future that none shall evel
have reason to feel their confidence
in me misplaced
