INFANTRY CLEMENCY DENIED CONVICTED MEN OF 24TH U. S. INFANTRY (Special to The Tribune) (Special to The Tribune) Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—The war department is opposed to granting clemency to the sixty-three former members of the 24th Infantry who are in prison for participating in the Houston riots in August, 1917. Secretary Weeks informed the chairman of the house military committee. The secretary, in a letter, gave information concerning the prisoners, sought in a resolution recently introduced by Representative Anthony (republican, Kansas) who asked whether any of the men were in Leavenworth penitentiary for merely missing roll call on the night of the riot, and whether there was any likelihood of clemency being extended to them. "The only reason clemency has not been extended and is not now recommended," Mr. Weeks stated, "is that on account of the offenses of which these men were clearly guilty they are not entitled to any clemency." Secretary Weeks reported that 58 of the 110 men convicted of participating in the riots were serving Life sentences, while five others were in prison serving fifteen years each. Of the others, nineteen were executed, the letter stated, six have died in confinement and the rest have either served out their terms or have been granted clemency. 9 None was found guilty because he had been absent from roll call on the night of the riot, Mr. Weeks said. The war secretary said the evidence had been reviewed repeatedly to determine whether any injustice had been done, but in every instance the reviewing officers had recommended against clemency. CHURCH TO REMAIN STRONG FACTOR IN NEGRO RACE, AVERS (The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Dec. 30. — For years to come the church will furnish the majority of leaders of the Negro race is the belief expressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, in a new book just published entitled "The History of the Negro Church." While the author sees in the record of the church reasons for hope that the institution will continue to figure in the life of the Negro as a conspicuous factor, yet he does not hesitate to consider the faults and shortcomings of the institution. GILPIN GIVEN OVATION (The Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., Dec. 30. — Charles Gilpin, the noted performer, is appearing here, his birthpulse, in "Emperor Jones." Mr. Gilpin was given an ovation by his native town folks. To Our Readers No person is in a better position to know the attitude of the business concerns of a community than the one who solicits the advertisements and comes in personal contact with the heads of the business concern. When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment. Go Where You Are Invited BERT WILLIAMS NOW PLAYING TO BIG AUDIENCES IN EAST (The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Dec. 30.-Bert Williams, the famous comedian, who is now appearing in "Under the Bamboo Tree, at the Studebaker, this city, is at "his best," according to opinions of the ever critical and hard to please public. The vehicle, through which Bert Williams passes is philosophy and humor to the public is unique in musical comedy productions in that Williams is the only Colored member of the organization. This situation proves that the theater going public has at last arrived to the point where they are willing to be entertained strictly on merit. No comedian on the American stage, or any other stage, can produce better laughs than Bert Williams. PHILADELPHIA HAS FINEST THEATRE OWNED BY BLACKS PHILADELPHIA HAS FINEST THEATRE OWNED BY BLACKS (The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 30. — The Dunbar Theater at Philadelphia is the handsomest theater in the country catering to the Colored people. It was built by E. C. Brown, the well known banker and is now owned by John T. Gibson, the most successful theatrical man the race has produced. The manager of the Dunbar is Charles B. Edwin, who is probably the youngest man in the race holding such a responsible position. Mr. Edwin is genial, courteous and urbane. He has executive ability and discharges his duties with painstaking fidelity. DOUGLAS By Norman King One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the season was the banquet given last week by Olympia Lodge No. 5, F. & A. M., when officers for the ensuing year were installed. Following are the officers who will serve during the ensuing year: D. Roberts, W. M.; V. R. Wells, S. W.; William Caldwell, J. W.; A. G. Reid, secretary; J. Hayes, treasurer. Officers appointed were F. Lee, S. D.; G. Clark, J. D.; B. Brown, S. S.; A. J. King, J. S.; F. McCallister, tyler; Norman King, chaplain. After the installation a banquet was served and the famous Wright orchestra dispensed music for the occasion. Real "brown skin service" was given and all were delighted with it. A paper by Mr. J. Hayes was very interesting and was the subject of favorable comment. After the banquet, the hall was celared and dancing was indulged in until the wee sma' hours of the morning. Sgt. A. G. Reid purchased a bright new Buick seven-passenger touring car and presented it to his wife for a Christmas gift. Rev. Z. Z. Johnson, presiding elder of the C. M. E. churches in this district, passed through the city last week en route to Bisbee where he held quarterly meeting Sunday. Rev. T. L. Watson, presiding elder for the A. M. E. churches in this district, preached an able sermon last Sunday to the congregation at the local A. M. E. church and left this week for Colorado where he will take up some important work. We wish him success in his work. Mrs. D. Roberts is spending the holidays with her brother, William King and her sister, Mable Bowens, in Hutchinson, Kansas. Watch meeting services will be held at the Baptist church Saturday evening, December 31. You are invited to come and watch the old year die. Norman King is suffering with a severe cold this week. Public sentiment is a hard thing to go up against now-a-days. Tom Watson is making himself felt up in the capital, but there be few who admire him. In fact, he is unadmirable. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1921 PRESCOTT LOCALS By Mrs. L. V. Hines The big Christmas tree at Mount Olive Baptist church was a great success. A large crowd attended and many presents were given out. The Christmas tree Monday at the Methodist church was postponed on account of the rain. Miss Naomi Tabron, teacher in the colored school at Somerton, is spending the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paris Tabron in South Montezuma street. Rev. Youngblood of Wichita, Kans., is a recent arrival and preached a wonderful sermon Sunday night at Mt. Olive Baptist church. He is just the sort of man Prescott needs and we are indeed glad to have him with us. He is planning to run a revival and solicits the hearty co-operation of all Christians. Mr. Russel Cannon, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Hines, motored to the Dunlap ranch near Jerome Junction and spent a happy day with these good people. The Dunlaps have several hundred chickens, turkeys, hogs, a fine motor truck, have remodeled their house and made other wonderful improvements on their ranch home. They are the type of people who never say fail and make good in everything they attempt. The entertainment given by the Fort Whipple boys of Ward 11, was beautifully carried out and a pleasing program was rendered. A full account of this affair will be given in next week's Tribune. "Butcher" Scott, formerly a patient at Fort Whipple, but who was discharged contrary to medical advice, died suddenly last week while sitting in a chair. Heart failure was given as the cause of his death and the remains are at Ruffner's undertaking parlors awaiting advice from relatives in his home, Porter, Oklahoma. The Prescott division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C.L. had a beautiful program and Christmas tree Friday night. Many were present and all had a delightful time. Miss Drucilla Polk and brother were in Prescott last week and furnished music for the dance given at Masonic hall. Mrs. Ramsey of Jerome, was a business visitor in Prescott last week. She reported her home town "just a little dull." Have you renewed your subscription to the Tribune for the year 1922? You'd better hurry. Don't miss the connecting link. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hines were hosts at a beautifully appointed Xmas dinner given at their home complimentary to a few of their friends. Several out of town people were invited but could not be present on account of the steady downpour of rain. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap, Mr. and Mrs. Staton and the host and hostess. All enjoyed an old fashioned Christmas dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Maxwell were hosts to a jolly party of motorists Monday. Mr. Sells and Miss Maggie Clark were their guests. They attempted to make the drive to Jerome, but on reaching the hills, found the road too slippery and returned to Prescott. They enjoyed a specially prepared dinner in one of the down town cafes. Report comes that Mr. Wilbur Smith has been offered a lucrative position in Phoenix and that he and his family will spend the winter in the capital city. Their many friends here regret to lose them and trust they will return next summer. Mrs. F. H. Alexander is in receipt of a letter stating that a friend, Miss Lilla Watson, teacher in the public schools of Houston, Texas, will arrive soon and spend a few weeks visiting in the city. Mrs. Alexander will accompany her to the coast where both will enjoy a brief vacation. Miss Watson is among the most popular members of the younger set in her home town, loved and respected by all. All the real sick patients in Wards Nos. 1 and 11, except Mr. Alexander, have been discharged, and he is doing fairly well through the damp season. CHURCH DOOR LOCKED IN PASTOR'S FACE BY HIS OFFICERS (Special to The Tribune) Seattle, Wash., Dec. — Rev. J. Logan Craw, pastor of the First A. M. E. church, Seattle, was served with a restraining order Thursday enjoining him from entering the church or interfering with the trustees and to show cause why he should not vacate the parsonage by December 16. The restraining order was issued by Judge King Dykeman of the superior court and Rev. J. Logan Craw is ordered to appear December 16 and show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent. The restraining order was issued on the plea of five of the seven members of the board of trustees. Those signing were O. H. Winston, chairman; Stephen A. Young, secretary; G. J. Penn, W. Appleton and James A. Roston. The two members refusing to sign are I. Allen and J. G. Gayles. Strife has existed in the First A. M. E. church since the return of the pastor from the annual conference held in Yakima last October. The trustees complain that Rev. Craw has refused to recognize their authority, that he will not let them function as a body, that he tries to force them to act with members of the official board as members of their board. These are only a few of the reasons they give for their action. A faction in the church has sided with Rev. Craw and claim the pastor acted with the authority given him through the discipline of the church. They point to the record of the church under Rev. Craw's administration and cite that the church was cleared of debt by his management of its affairs. The First A. M. E. church is an incorporated body, being incorporated under the laws of the state of Washington August 5, 1890. The articles were approved by three bishops of the church, Bishops Shaefer, Lee and Grant. The articles of incorporation give the trustees the right to elect their chairman. The discipline of the church gives the pastor the right to act as chairman of all the church committees or boards. The five trustees who seek to restrain Rev. Craw state that article 3, page 443 of the A. M. E. discipline upholds them in their action as it reads: "Whenever the law of the land requires a specified mode of election that mode shall be observed in electing trustees." This difference of opinion has divided the church into two factions and has resulted in much bitterness. Recently three of the trustees were expelled from the church for insubordination. They refused to recognize the expulsion. The hearing before Judge Dykman December 16 will pack the court room with interested members of both factions of the church. LAW BREAKERS IN GEORGIA THREATEN FEDERAL OFFICERS LAW BREAKERS IN GEORGIA THREATEN FEDERAL OFFICERS (The Associated Negro Press) Athens, Ga., Dec. 30.—Federal investigations into the killings that were staged in Oconee county Sunday, December 4, have been started and through the joint efforts of the county officials and the federal authorities, it is believed that the persons guilty of the law violations will be brought to justice. Since the investigation was begun, Judge Walter C. Cornett, United States deputy in Athens has received several anonymous communications warning him to discontinue the federal investigation. These letters have been traced, according to Judge Cornett, and the persons responsible will be brought to trial. The Oconee officials who are working toward the capture of the gang which is said to be responsible for the disorder and killings in that county, and incidentally who are charged with selling illicit liquor, have been in communication with Judge Blanton Fortson, of the superior court, who will aid in the government investigation by calling a special grand jury at the proper time.

Many of the grown-ups were well remembered, too. When Santa made his departure to Toy Land with a fond farewell to all, the jolly throng in the building enjoyed movies. On Xmas' day each company tried to excel the other in decorations and preparation of sumptuous feasts for their members, friends and families. All decorations were beautiful and all of the dinners were the best. Monday declared a holiday, was celebrated with a regimental dance at the Service Club. A very large, jolly crowd filled with Xmas spirit attended. The public was invited to the memorial services dedicated to St. John, the evangelist, commemorating the loss of deceased brethren of Tyre Military Lodge No. 143 A. F. & A. M.

A. has been established in Cleveland, in a large building at Cedar avenue and 77th street. Those who are backing the movement claim that their plans are meritorious, and predict nothing but success. The building is located in a section that is fast being turned over to Colored people, and the movement is popular among the masses. Cleveland has heretofore been one of the few large centers without a branch accessible to large numbers of the race.

Pinchback, 84 years old, died here last night and will be buried in New Orleans. Attorney Pinchback was one of the most noted characters in the Negro race. He was born in Macon, Georgia, but reached the distinction of acting governor of Louisiana for 43 days from December 6, 1872 to January 18, 1873. Elected Lieutenant Governor When Oscar Dunn, Negro lieutenant-governor under Womack, died in 1872, he was elected lieutenant-governor and president of the senate. When Womack was impeached in 1872, Pinchback became acting governor until Kellogg took office. In 1872 he was a candidate at large for congress and the returning board announced his election. General George A. Sheridan contested his election and the case was finally decided March 3, 1874, in favor of Sheridan. Sheridan assumed his office for one day, as the following day the term expired. Meanwhile the legislature in 1873 elected Pinchback to the United States senate, but after a long contest the senate rejected him. He moved to New York several years afterward and was a United States marshal there. He later moved to Washington, where he practiced law.

That all business throughout the country has suffered more or less, because of certain economic conditions over which we have no control, and that there is danger of further depression in all lines, cannot be gainsaid. In the history of mankind, there was never a cause without its effect, and the question that confronts us now is: "What will be the result of this era of depression?" Pessimists say that we can never attain our former status, while the optimists predict a revival of business such as we have never witnessed. Let us hope the latter are right in their prediction and set our sails accordingly. "Come, let us reason together", said a philosopher of old. Now, what is it that can bring about better times? Are there any industries that may open up soon, and if so, will they find a market for their product? The people of Arizona know that their salvation lies in the mining industry and they also know there is now no demand for copper. Is it not reasonable then to suppose that we are destined to have a few months more of bad times? We heard a prominent business man say that after the first of February, things will begin to look up. How does he know? On what does he base his prediction? It is alright to talk optimism and try and instil it in the other fellow, but when you face facts, they prove to be stubborn things. The United States government has the bulk of the money that was spent so freely by all during those prosperous times. Some way will have to be devised, whereby this money again will be put in circulation before the small business interests can derive any benefit from it. The great responsibility, as we see it, rests with our government. It is not a matter of party or politics, but is the more important question of business management and executive ability. The congress and the president have an excellent opportunity to prove to the more than one hundred millions of people of this great commonwealth, that the reins of government are in safe hands. Will they fail us in this great emergency? They must not fail. DAME FASHION NATIONS are slaves to style. fashion imposes there are no all manner of inconveniences air, short hair, bobbed hair and are have been adopted from times, narrow skirts and wide ski skirts and bustles, large and so at the decree of remorseless f that women cling to with gre CIVILIZED NATIONS are slaves to style. It matters not what discomforts fashion imposes there are millions of people who will endure all manner of inconveniences in order to be stylish. Long hair, short hair, bobbed hair and a hundred other varieties of coiffure have been adopted from time to time. Long skirts, short skirts, narrow skirts and wide skirts have been in fashion, also hoopskirts and bustles, large and small, have adorned lovely women at the decree of remorseless fashion. The one thing, however, that women cling to with great persistence is the small shoe, regardless of fashion. The shoe may be pointed, high-heeled, high-laced, low-laced, buttoned or tied with ribbons, even bordered with fur; but it must be a close fit—two or three sizes too small if it is possible to get the foot into it. The size of the foot has little to do with the size of the shoe. The foot must adapt itself to it, regardless of corns, bunions, blisters or deformities of every nature. For men there have been high hats, wool hats, widebrimmed hats and hats with narrow brims, and some have required two sizes; one for day or evening and a larger one for "the morning after." This latter style is not now so much in vogue as before the passage of the Volstead Act, but still worn by those who are not in harmony with the Volstead style. There have been various styles of trimming the wiskers. Some have worn all that nature would provide, while others wear none at all. There have been and still are Burnsides, chin tassels, short side-beards, long beards, short beards, curly beards and bushy beards. There have been long and drooping moustaches, curly moustaches, short moustaches and the Charley Chaplin variety, if such may be called a moustache at all. In any event it is style, and that is sufficient. There has also been a time when the soup-strainer variety of moustache was considered quite the thing, and occasionally a man has been seen tucking the ends of his long moustache behind his ears when preparing to drink a cup of coffee, a part of which went down his throat and the balance down the front of his vest, and he has been seen to complete the operation by wiping the dripping facial adornment with the back of his hand, and the hand upon the slack of his trousers. Men accuse women of being slaves to style, but the impartial observer has failed to note much if any difference between male and female vanity. It may be displayed in different ways, but it is there; just as when men appear at a "swell" affair in wide shirt fronts and claw-hammer coats and women with shoulders bare. It is style, style, the most exacting autocrat that ever dictated to humanity, and the one whose mandates all must obey.—Ex.

Splendid Program Rendered Colored pupils of the Phoenix Union High school rendered an excellent program at the school last Friday, December 23. The orations, recitations, readings, vocal and instrumental selections, all were good and too much praise cannot be given for the commendable showing made by these high school students. Many of the parents were present and their chests were made to swell with pride when they listened to the splendid rendition of selections by their daughters, or heard their sons eloquently deliver orations that would do credit to a Roscoe Simmons or a Kelly Miller. Short talks were made by all parents present and by several who were mere visitors. The Glee club deserves special mention, as this number received an encore. These high school boys have Caruso backed off the boards when it comes to harmony and melody. The senior class presented their teachers with remembrances as a token of esteem and Louis Rosser of this class was selected to make the presentation speech.

E. church Tuesday night and filled their Christmas tree with candy and other goodies for the sweet little children and grown folks too.

E. church Saturday night and left lots of presents, candy and other good things on the tree for the children and grown-ups. He was rather lavish with his gifts and all received something worth while.

The Green Pea Pirates (Continued From Last Issue) her off into deep water, the Maggie Lought vallantly to stick to the beach and even to continue her interrupted journey overland. She merely succeeded in stretching both hawers taut; slowly she was drawn seaward, stern first, and at the expiration of fifteen minutes' steady pulling, Mr. Gibney could restrain himself no longer. He rang for full speed astern—and got it promptly. Thea, calling Nells Halvorsen to aid him, he abandoned the wheel and scrambled art. With no one at the wheel, the Maggie shot off at a tangent and the hawers slacked immediately. In the twinkling of an eye Mr. Gibney had cast them off, and as the ends disappeared with a swish over the stern he ran back to the pilot house, rang for full speed ahead, put his helm hard over, X Mr. Gibney Turned His Stovepipe Seward and Shouted: "Tugboats, Ahoy!" and headed the Maggie in the general direction of China, although as a matter of fact he cared not what direction he pursued, provided he got away from the beach and placed distance between the Maggie and two soon-to-be-furious tugboat skippers. CHAPTER IV. The crews of the Aphrodite and the Bodega slept late, for they were weary and, fortunately, no calls for a tug came into the office of the Red Stack company all morning. About ten o'clock Dan Hicks and Jack Flaherty breakfasted and about ten-thirty both met in the office. Apparently they were two souls with but a single thought, for the right hand of each sought the shelf whereon reposed the blue volume entitled "Lloyd's Register." Dan Hicks reached it first, carried it to the counter, wet his tarry index finger and started turning the pages in a vain search for the American steamer Yankee Prince. Presently he looked up at Jack Flaherty. "Flaherty," he said, "I think you're a liar." "The same to you and many of them," Flaherty replied, not a bit abashed. "You said she was an eight thousand-ton trump." "I never went so far as to say I'd been aboard her on trial trip, though—and did cut down her tonnage, shown' I got the fragments of a conscience left," Hicks defended himself. He closed the book with a sigh and placed it back on the shelf, just as the door opened to admit no less personage than Bartholomew McGuffey, late chief engineer, first assistant, second assistant, third assistant, wiper, oiler, water-tender and stoker of the S. S. Maggle. With a brief nod to Jack Flaherty Mr. McGuffey approached Dan Hicks. "I been lookin' for you, captain," he announced. "Say, I hear the chief o' the Aphrodite's goin' to take a three months' layoff to get shet of his rheumatism. Is that straight?" "I believe it is, McGuffey." "Well, say, I'd like to have a chance to substitoot for him. You know my capabilities, Hicks, an' if it would be agreeable to you to have me for your chief your recommendation would go a long way toward landin' me the job. I'd sure make them engines behave." "What vessel have you been on laterly?" Hicks demanded cautiously, for he knew Mr. McGuffey's reputation for non-reliability around pay day. "I been with that freshwater scavenger, Scraggs, in the Maggle for most a year." "Did you quit or did Scraggs fire you?" "He fired me," McGuffey replied honestly. "If he hadn't I'd have quit, so it's a tosup. Comin' in from Halfmoon bay last night we got in the fog an' piled up on the beach just below the Cliff house—" "This is interesting," Jack Flaherty murmured. "You say she walked ashore on you, McGuffey? Well, I'll be shot!" "She did. Scraggs blamed it on me, Flaherty. He said I didn't obey the signals from the bridge, one word led to another, an' he went dancin' mad an' ordered me off his ship. Well, it's his ship—or it was his ship, for I'll bet a dollar she's ground to powder by now—so all I could do was obey. I hopped overboard an' waded ashore. I suppose all my clothes an' things is gone by now. I left everything aboard an' had to borrow this outfit from Scab Johnny." He grinned pathetically. "So I guess you understand, Captain Hicks, just how bad I need that job I spoke about a minute ago."
