disgust the people of Cuba.

color, and a member of the present

the leading business men of Havana,
will unquestionably be reelected to
Congress. He is the most popular
candidate on the island

other occupations will be found among
the members of this club. They have
not organized for the purpose of per

LOVES THEATRE NO. 2

An epoch in the history of Negro
progress is the requirement by the
Love Brothers, Geo. w. X. and Capt.
Frank w. of the Theatre at 18th and
Woodland formerly known as the
Panama, one OF the best located and
best patronized Movie houses for the
race in this City. In keeping with
Loves reputation for cleanliness and
up-to-date facilities, new carpets, new
furnishings, new lighting system have
been installed and a new $4,000 pipe
organ is on the way which will be in
stalled the next few days. Captain
Frank w Love who has seen twenty
years service in the regular army will
be in charge and they will run moth
ing but the best of pictures and their
big attractions will be running in both
houses at the same time. The pur'
chase of this house by the Love
Brothers gives the race solid block
of business institutions on 18th street
and inspires from other Negro bust
ness districts the desire to own all
business places in their neighborhood
The Sun congratulates the Love
Brothers upon their foresight and
business acumen and predicts a con-
tinuation in their new house off the
splendid success that has characteriz
ed their house No. l at oath and Vine
streets. They will take charge at the
opening matinee Sunday at $3.50. and
extend cordial invitation to the citi'
zens of greater Kansas City to visit
their new house and inspect this beau
ty and witness at the same time a
high class performance.

late Paul Laurence Dunbar, famous
Colored poet, was unceremoniously
discharged from her position as
teacher in the public schools of this
city by the Democratic board for hav-
ing attended the social justice pill
grimage to Marion, Ohio, October /.
Mrs Nelson, who was among the Col
ored delegation from the east that
went to Harding's home, joining the
thousands of other women assemb-
ling theIe for the purposes of social
welfare, had been warned by her
principal that If she attended this
meeting she would be dismissed.
When she returned and presented
herself at the school to take up her
duties, she was informed that her
services were no longer needed. She
appealed to DR.. Conwell Banton,
member of the board, and was in
formed that the action of the prin-
cipal would be sustained by the
board.

and to promote greater educational
activities and intellectual attainments.
Thus again they felt the necessity
of place, a rallying spot, center of
genuine interest, that would attract
appeal to all. A place that each and
every member would feel a personal
and dirct interest in. Such could
only be accomplished by the purchase
of home for the club paid for by
their dues and other obligations. So,
of course, they Immediately put the
idea into execution with the result of
the beautiful bungalow seen in the
picture being the seat of their organi-
cation.
The club started with about twenty

tion seeks to increase the membership
and for short period only beginning
October 10th, the books are open for

Rev. DR.. Thomas H. Phillips, one
of the best known men in the West

souri, affairs for fifty years during his
residence in this state at Moberly
Mo-, passed away last Tuesday after a
brief illness at his residence in Keo

daughter also a son and two daughters
by former marriage,vall of whom are
well known in Missouri; his eldest

lips was one of the first Grand Mas
ters of the L. B. F. and lived to wit
ness its growth from an Insignificant
number to the largest f"aternal organ
ization in this state. DIR. Phillips was
a real leader of men and his command
ing figure being more than 61a feet in
height, straight as a soldier and with
snow white hair made him the center
of attraction in any gathering. The
order has lost great man. the church
a noble preacher and the race a cour-
ageous and heroic leader. The funeral
was Friday at Keokuk, and was large
ly attended from all 12ctions of the

Louisville, KY, Oct. 1.-THE First

made what is believed to be rec
ord among Colored people in the
United States. It's entire stock rep
resenting Capital and Surplus OF
$11O,0O0O0 has been sold in less than
five months. In other words, Color
ed people themselves have bought up
the entire Capital stock within less
than five months-not one dollar of
stock having been sold to white per
sons. So far as available records
show there is no other corporation
among Colored people that has ever
approached this record. Wilson S.
Lovett is business agent of The First

NEGROES COULD NOT GET HALL
OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

For some reason as yet unexplained
the House of Representatives was
closed to Prof. Inman Page Saturday
night. Quite few people went there
to hear Prof. Page. The hall had been
previously engaged by the Republican
committee, but when the people ar
rived to hold the meeting they were
refused admission.
Prof Page, however. was not long
handicapped. He spoke at the Sec

He explained the League of Nations in
a manner to be easily understood. DR..

the meeting.

We the members of the Graeco Art

Josephine Berry who is sentenced to
be hanged in the District of Columbia

this execution to take place as sched-

Bethel Church Split

Z (By the Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago African Methodist
Episcopal Church, one of the nations
greatest religious congregations, hav-
ing a membership of nearly 5000 and
a landmark in the progress of com
munity life in Chicago, has been torn
asunder'
The break follows closely on the
heels of the trouble in New York City,
where the Bethel church of that COM
munity. was split and the doors clos
ed because Bishop Hurd refused to
hear the wishes of the congregation
in the assignment of a pastor.
In this instance it is Bishop Cop
pin, of the Fourth Episcopal district.
A delegation of officers visited the
conference and had an interview with
the bishop, whom, they claim, led
them to believe that DR.. W. D. Cook,
one of the most popular ministers in
the city, would be returned as pastor,
When the appointments were read
DR.. Cook was assigned to Des Moines,
and Rev. S. l.. Birt of that city was
assigned to eBthel in Chicago. This
SO incensed the officers and congre-
cation that they held meeting and
resolved to withdraw from the A. M
e. connection. They state it is not
because of any disregard for Rev
Bird, but because of the Arbitrary
bethods of the bishop.
Over 90 members with the major
ity of the stewards and trustees, have
established Community Church, and
DR.. Cook has sent in his resignation
as minister in the church, and &C
cepted the pastorate of the new con
gregation.
The break in the church seems to
be the elimination of long period
of dissatisfaction with the manner in
which the church has been treated by
the. connection. 1t is claimed that
they were refused a delegate to the
general conference. Notwithstanding
the church has raised more money
than any other A. M. E. congregation
in the city.
There is, also, internal strife in the
Olivet Baptist congregation, of which
DR.. L. X. Williams is the pastor. This
congregation claims to be the largest
of the race in the world. After going
into their new building, there was a
new congregation built up in the old
building, but under the same Olivei
direction. Now, seemingly in keep
ing with the prevalent spirit OF self
determination" the new congregation
from the old church wishes to have
independence.
