BISHOP SHEDS TEARS
over CONDITIONS in
KANSAS CITY CHURCH
(By J. E. Herriford)

Kansos City, Mo-, Jan. 13.-It fl
nally came to pass that Bishop H.
Blanton Parks came to Allen Chapel
after many broken and deferred prom
ises. 1t came to pass last Sunday at
the morning services. The bishop
preached, and after the routine Of
services he rose and told the congre-
cation of the hours during which he
had not slept and of his great worry
over the conditions In Aliens fold.
He said that he found himself unable
to secure for the church the sort of
pastor that would be able to measure
up to the required standard and oat
he had decided to reappoint Rev.
lsaacs to complete the year of serv-
ice. Then he launched into extrava-
CANT praise for Rev. Isaacs, and turn
ing to him grasped his hand and
dramatically declared that the govern
ment of the A. NJ. E. church is not
congregational, that it is Episcopal.
and that after all the people would
be compelled to submit to ecclesiasti-
cal authority The situation was
tense, autocratic authority was in the
saddle and pent-up indignation of an
outraged laity had no voice.
Then the bishop effected tears and
asked those to rise who would stand
by Allen Chapel. A majority of those
present rose and the deal was over
that is, over for that day.
Perhaps what the bishop meant to
say was that he had been unable to
find any congregation that would ac-
cept Isaacs and that he placed the
welfare of his protege above the well
fare of the church, even above the
sancity of his word. For, only a few
weeks before the bishop had raised
his hand to heaven and solemnly
promised the trustees and other pro-
testers that he would remove Isaacs
and send them more acceptable
man
This sort of turmoil exists in prac-
tlcally all of the bishops district and
indicates to many Methodists that DR..
Parks himself is incompetent to prop
erly lead and direct the great work
which is assigned to him. He lives
In Chicago and most of the time is far
removed from the people whom he
should lead and inspire. He is in a
constant mixup with the men under
him and perhaps there is no bishop
in the whole connection who has to
encounter more uneasiness and dis
content among the ministers than
does Bishop Parks 1t is openly as
serted that his promises are not to be
relied upon and that he is vacillating,
temperamental and tryrannical. High
class pastors from other districts can
not be persuaded to transwer to this
district and many of our best men are
anxious to get away to other fields.
Ever since the present trouble has
been on at Allen Chapel, many of the
members have been declaring that the
bishop did not intend to make a
change of pastors, and that he has
been merely playing for time. Now,
their convictions are confirmed and
their confidence in the bisnop thor
oughly upset.

AMERICAN LEGION
UNFAIR TO negroes
SAYS CAPT. MARSHALL
ASSOCIATED Negro Pressl

New York City, N. Y, Jan. 13.-
Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, vet
eran of the World War and at pres
ent an officer in the famous Fifteenth
New York regiment, charges the
American Legion with unfairness to
Negro former soldiers, in a special
statement to the Associated Negro
Press.
Mr.. Marshall's office is at 2295
Seventh avenue, New York City, and
he is calling on the newspapers of
the country to assist him in getting
in touch with all former soldiers. Cap
tain Marshall says:
after the armistice was signed, as
you will recall, there was a great
world victory parade held in Paris of
military units representing all the
combatants who were engaged in that
struggle. Not one American Negro
was permitted to march in that par
ade. This fact was commented upon
generally by the French people.
Last summer the American Legion
sent over to France a delegation of
veterans to visit the battle fields and
to lay wreath on Frances unknown
soldier. I, myself made personal ap-
plication to be permitted to represent
the Colored American veterans on that
occasion in view of the fact that had
arranged to he in France at that time.
My application was curtly and uncere-
moniously rejected. Several French
men, including some officials suggest
ed that the Colored veterans send a
delegation over to France and acting.
upon that suggestion upon my return
to America last fall, I wrote to the
national headquarters of the American
Legion, Indianapolis, Ind, requesting
list of all American Negro Legion
posts in America with their locations.
subsequently, there Appeared in
the Chicago Defender an interview
with me in which it was set forth
the action of the American Legion
last summer toward it's Colored mem
bers and my purpose to organize a
delegation of Colored veterans to go
abroad next summer Failing to re-
ceive any reply to my request to the
headquarters of the American Legion,
as aforesaid, again wrote, repeating
my request and received from the
headquarters letter of which the
following is a copy
"Our committee is now compelled
to appeal to the Colored newspapers
all over the country for the names
and locations of the Colored American
Legion posts and l am asking you to
help us in this matter as no one can
do as well as the Associated Negro
Press"

ter received by Captain Marshall from
the headquarters Of the American
Legion.

My Dear Sir:
Your letter dated December 9th,
indicates that you had communicated
with US several weeks ago but we are
unable to find in our files any letter
addressed to us by you.
The national executive committee
of the American Legion almost two
years ago prohibited the issuing OF
any lists of posts of the American
Legion, and we feel therefore sorry
that we cannot comply with your re-
quest.
Very truly yours,

KANSAS CITY MAN IS
SLATED FOR POSITION
Held BY WILL HAYS
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

kAOoOCAcLCQ ANC5AO 1881
Washington, d. c., Jan. 13.-The
death of Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, and the passing of VIII H.
Hays from the position of postmaster
general to a high executive position
in the motion picture world, at a
salary of $15O,OOO per year, have alb
sorbed all the high points in political
gossip at the beginning of the New
Year.
Senator Penrose will be remembered
for his notable interview given last
spring, with reference to civil rights,
as the Negro is affected. The senator
made one of the most outstanding
declarations for justice ever uttered
by a public man. 1t is true that some
of the Pennsylvania leaders claim
that the late senator "ate his words"
prior to the failure of the bill, but it
is known that the senator earnestly
denied taht he did anything to cause
the defeat of the bill. He was very
much affected by the criticism that
followed and told a representative of
the Associated Negro Press that he
hoped the people would not hold him
responsible.
Senator Penrose was practical in
his political friendships. There were
a number of men CLOSE to him in
Pennsylvania, probably the chief be-
ing Andrew Stevens the banker of
Philadelphia. There are those who
wonder what effect the death will
have on the political fortunes of
Stevens.
"Hays and Bob" Church
There is no denying that the clos
est man of the group to Will H. Hays
in political life has been Bob"
Church of Memphis Mr.. Hays has
had every confidence in Mr.. Church.
AS matter of cold fact, they formed
| sort of comradeship that was most
unusual, and certainly will not be COM
pletely ended by Mr.. Hays taking an
other position.
The representative of the Associ-
ated Negro Press is in possession of
actual information concerning the
high esteem in which Mr. Hays holds
the very inexpensive but powerful
political leader from Tennessee, that
would read like a thrilling story Of
fiction if it could be told publicly.
Suffice it to say that Will H. Hays
has always accepted Robert R. Church
strictly on his merit as a man, and
has accepted the political opinions
and advice of Church at face value
President Harding has very high
regard for R. R. Church. With Mr..
Hays out of the cabinet, however it
will be necessary for Mr.. Church to
form new political alliances. Attor-
ney General Daugherty has a very
exalted opinion of Mr. Church How
ever, Perry w Howard, as assistant
attorney general, naturally has the
sympathetic ear of his chief, and while
Howard and Church work "hand in
hand" Church is of the type who be-
lieves in dealing direct Therefore,
President Harding himself is the best
bet for the srafty and earnest Tenne-
ssean.
To succeed Will H. Hays, Senator
Spencer has recommended Walter S.
