Vol. IV. No. 49 COLORED BOY LEADS CLASS OF 300 WHITES WINS FIRST HONORS COLORED BOY LEADS CLASS OF 300 WHITES WINS FIRST HONORS (Special to The Tribune) New York, Feb. 24.—Will some one please page Arthur Brisbane? That distinguished Hearst journalist recently oracularly expressed himself on the fixed and irremedial mental inferiority of people of African blood and lineage. And now comes a youth who in competition with more than 300 classmates of the white race, outranks all in scholarship and captures virtually every honor and prize offered by the school in which he was the stellar pupil. Moreover in all school activities he took a prominent place and part. He was first lieutenant of the Dotey squad, the crack military organization of his school; editor-in-chief of the "Clinton News," the weekly school journal and editor of "The Senior Magpie," and vice president of the Clinton Club. This brilliant student is Countee P. Cullen, the 18-year-old son of Rev. Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem M. E. church, West 133d St., who has just completed the course at the DeWitt Clinton high school, winning practically every honor and prize which was to be competed for. There were 6,000 students at DeWitt Clinton and 300 of these were in young Cullen's class. And only three of the 300 were Negroes. That did not stop Countee Cullen. He won the highest honors possible, with an average through the four year course of 83 per cent, and graduated as valedictorian. He won prizes in deportment, attendance, debate, mathematics and English. One of his latest achievements was the winning of the Douglas Fairbanks oratorical contest, this being awarded him for his original poem, "I have a rendezvous with life." As a result of the splendid record made by Cullen in high school, both Columbia and New York Universities have offered him scholarships but the latter named institution was the first with their offer and the brilliant young Negro has already entered upon his studies at the New York University. His valedictory address was in the form of a poem of fifty-seven lines, entitled, "Any Senior to His Friend." and the effort was greeted with tumultuous applause from the enormous audience that filled DeWitt Clinton auditorium on graduation day. Countee has ambitions that lead to winning a Rhodes' scholarship, carrying with it a year's study at Oxford College, England, and it is not at all improbable that he succeeds. The family lives at 234 W. 121 street. (Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., Feb. 24.—Intelligence tests have been held here for the pupils in public schools. In school 1119, Harriet Ida Pickens, 12 years old, stood highest of all the pupils, white and Colored, in the tests of three classes. Her mrak is 141. She is daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Pickens, and expects to enter Wedley high school this year.

Two amendments to the constitution were voted on and after all business had been transacted, the hostess served delicious refreshments, all the product of her fine Holstein cow. That good old country butter and pure rich cream took us back to the days of our grand-mothers. Mrs. Hodges brought in the following questions Q. State the difference between a noise and a musical sound? A. A musical sound is caused by a regular series of exactly similar pulses succeeding each other at precisely equal intervals of time. If these conditions are not fulfilled, the sound is a noise. Q. Upon what does the pitch of a tone depend A. The pitch of tone depends on the number of virbrations to the sound which produces the note. Q. Does sound travel faster through air or through water? A. Sound travels through air at the rate of one thousand feet per second; through water at the rate of four thousand seven hundred feet per second. FIRE DESTROYS ALMS HOUSE (Associated Negro Press) Delair, Md., Feb. 24.—One man was burned to death and five others narrowly escaped a similar fate in a fire that destroyed the frame building which housed the Colored inmates of the county alms house farm near Belair at 1:30 last Thursday morning. The man who lost his life was "Buddie"Bresbury, who had been at the home for several years. When Overseer Chas. McCarthy who lives in one of the group of buildings on the property was aroused by the alarm and hurried to the Negro quarters he found the building enveloped in flames. He risked his life by rushing into the building and after battling with the flames and dense smoke succeeded in saving all of the infirm occupants with the exception of Bresbury. Origin of the fire is unknown. The main stone building in which the white inmates are housed was also in danger, but the efforts of McCarthy and his wife who is the matron of the institution, aided by a few of the inmates succeeded in saving the building. will journey to Los Angeles, Calif., to make their future home.

DYER BILL BROUGHT FOURTH SOME STRONG SPEECHES IN HOUSE Knowing how deeply interested our readers are in the Dyer bill which has been passed by the house and is now before the senate, The Tribune will publish in this and subsequent issues, extracts from some of the principal speeches which were delivered in congress during the prolonged debate on this measure. Extracts from speeches in the senate will also be published when the discussion begins there: As To Its Constitutionality As To Its Constitutionality If the gentlemen opposing this bill are so absolutely confident that the supreme court of the United States will certainly declare it null and void, why filibuster against its passage and try to prevent its enactment? What are you afraid of? I almost suspect that you are afraid the supreme court may sustain the law.—Frederick W. Dallinger, Massachusetts. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee it seems to me that this debate is bringing a great deal of extraneous matter into the Record. In view of the fate of the thirteenth, the fourteenth and the fifteenth constitutional amendments in the south it seems to me that my democratic friends should not now exhibit such great tenderness as to whether this bill is constitutional or not. Nor does it seem to me that the honorable gentleman (Mr. Linthicum) who is afraid that it is going to create a supergovernment need concern himself greatly about that in view of the record of his party which is somewhat in favor of supergovernment if we may judge it by the past.—Charles L. Knight Ohio. Those of us who oppose this legislation have taken the position that this bill is unconstitutional even under that provision of the fourteenth amendment. During this discussion some very able arguments have been made against the constitutionality of this bill in which it has been clearly shown that the bill is unconstitutional. It would be unwise to enact it into law even if it was constitutional.—Morgan G. Sanders, Texas. Would Increase Mob Rule Would Increase Mob Rule I am opposed to this bill because it would increase mob violence by encouraging the crimes which are the most provocative of mob violence and which more than all things else combined create the conditions out of which mob violence as a punishment for other offenses arises. I am opposed to this bill because the interposition of federal power would lessen the sense of local responsibility and retard the growth of local purpose to suppress the mob violence. I am opposed to this bill because it is unconstitutional and appeals for support to the very spirit which it denounces—the spirit of disregard for law and the sacredness of the official oath.—Summers, Texas. The Government's Duty The government that will not defend its defenders, that will not protect those whom it compels to offer their lives to protect its interest, is a disgrace to the family of nations, and I hope that this congress will help to wipe such a stain from our flag and carry out the purpose of those who drew and those who proposed this amendment. When a state falls to punish those who commit mob murder it fails to afford due process of law and the equal protection of the laws. Aside from immediate police protection which in most instances can not be given the one method recognized and relied on by every government as the appropriate, the necessary, and effective means for protecting persons against lawlessness is the punishment of those who violate law.—Andrew J. Volstead, Minnesota. Mob Law Must Be Ended Both my observation and my judgement lead me to believe that this legislation will go far toward removing this disgraceful and barbaric practice. No man, though guilty, should be killed until he has his day in court. And we know that many innocent persons have been burned (Continued on Page 9) (Continued on Page 2) St. Paul Baptist church is progressing nicely under the leadership of its new pastor. New members are being added each Sunday. The financial end is keeping pace with the spiritual and the various clubs and their captains are progressing nicely.

Miss Ola Mitchell of Ripley, and Miss Marie Wise. Many people have been on the sick list. Sister Mitchell is now on the road to recovery. An ice and cold storage plant is being built in Blythe. The quarterly conference of the Zion A. M. E. church will be held soon as the bishop, L. W. Kyles and presiding elder, E. M. Clark will arrive soon. YUMA-SOMERTON Mrs. A. J.

Y., Feb. 24.—Ten years in Sing Sing prison for stealing 50 cents worth of bread was the sentence meted out by County Judge Hackel to William Burke, an 18 year old Colored boy. JAPS TOLD TO BE LOYAL (Associated Negro Press) Hilo Island of Hali, T. H., Feb. 24. —Japanese residents of Hawaii have been admonished to rear their American born children as good American citizens "even to the point of instructing them that they must fight for their native land, America, against the land of their ancestors, Japan," by M. Zumoto, editor of the Herald of Asia, who is staying here several days on his way back from the international conference at Washington, according to an address he delivered before an assemblage of plantation managers and business men. SEVERAL KILLED IN STORM (Associated Negro Purs.) Enterprise, Ala. Feb. 24. — Sam Jones, a Negro boy, was killed, several white persons and five Negroes injured in a storm which destroyed 41 houses here. The storm resembling a tornado, came from the southwest and swept a suburb of the town, damaging everything in its wake for a width of 300 feet. In spite of the beautiful days the snow is frequently falling and the surrounding mountains have the winter coat, snow covered. Mrs. Joe Anderson entertained several social callers, namely, Mrs. and Miss Alice Fernely, Mrs. Shaver and her son, Mr. Tolliver. Dainty refreshments were served to the delight of all. During the evening Miss Alice Fernely entertained the guests with many beautiful selections at the piano, while Mr. Tolliver, a beautiful singer, spiked the affair with several numbers. Mr. Tolliver is a poet and has devoted much time of his life in this work. Following is one of his poems: Though the snow was deep we knew. There in their comphy little home So clean you never could see a spot, Things were so carefully arranged One could never say they're not. We talked of Prescott's latest storm, California too as well, And many other things of interest, Too numerous to tell. Now we must say the dinner, Was splendid as could be, Prepared by careful tidy hands, As one could plainly see. And for our entertainment, We had music, jokes and fun, Thus 'twas a very cheerful evening, In the home of Joseph Anderson. Many folks, both white and Colored, are suffering with the flu and many are confined to their beds. Over 10 of the teachers and more than a hundred pupils have been absent from the school because of the disease. It is hoped that this condition will soon be relieved. It is hard to give names of all of the folks that are sick, but will say nearly every home has some one suffering with colds and many with light attacks of the flu. The big carnival scheduled to be staged by Mile High Chapter Tuesday night, was postponed and will be staged later. Mrs. Paris Tabron has been very sick with a severe cold but is much improved. Prescott was graced with the distinguished visitors, Bishop L. W. Kyes, wife and little son, and Elder Clark, arriving here Thursday on the noon train and left Saturday morning at 2:30 a. m. for points in California. Their trip will include as far as Seattle and then they will return to Monrovia, California, and hold the mid-year conference the 22nd of March. As usual the bishop was at his best and delivered one of the greatest sermons witnessed in Prescott—On Light—the spiritual, physical and moral light. Many hearts were made glad and rejoiced in the great feast. After his wonderful sermon he told in a brief way of his trip to Eccumunical Conference, the proceedings, and in a very modest way of the honors betowed on him there. He preached one of the two important sermons delivered Sunday during the conference, the most important, in the afternoon, and presided over the Eccumunical conference during the most important part of the session when the question was discussed, "Interacial Relationship—and the papers of London commented on both sermons and the dignity with which he presided. He told of his trip to several countries during his tour and spoke of standing in Rome, Italy, on the spot where St. Paul was beheaded and of the spring of water that sprang up on the same spot. Of the 400 churches and cathedrals there, and told of his trip to Venice, Italy. After the lecture a social was tendered the bishop, his wife and little son in the annex of the church. During the social, at the request of Mr. and Mrs. Hines, Little Nettie May Hines was brought forward and blessed which was also a touching part of the services as Baby Nettie has recently been placed and adopted into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hines, given by the father, Mr. Lewis to his cousins. Many that did not understand the mode of the blessing thought she was christened, but 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year FORMER SLAVES NOW FIND THEMSELVES ROLLING IN WEALTH (Special to The Tribune) Mexia, Texas, Feb. 24—"Big Slim" Simmons of Houston, may become the Crippled Croesus of the "Golden Lane." "Big Slim" drifted into the Mexia oil fields the early part of the month with his gang of colored men and announced he was ready to start drilling. Big Slim has his own company. They control a ten acre lease which they obtained from Mrs. M. B-Kemp, a white woman. "No white man can own an interest in my company," Simmons decreed. Simmons, a powerful, dark-skinned man, lost a leg in a railroad accident several years ago. He walks with a crutch. Although "Big Slim" will be the first Colored man to drill for oil in the "Golden Lane," the peculiar fact is that this liquid gold land was owned by Negroes when oil was first discovered. Andy Eckels, grocery store proprietor, former slave, who owns a half block west of Mexia, has consistently refused to sell. "I'll take $1,000,000 for my land," is his stock reply to all offers. "I'm contented here. There ain't going to be no tent nor oil well to dirty up my back yard." not so just offered to the Lord, and not connected with church membership. Several entertainments were given the bishop, wife and little son, and Elder Clark. On Thursday Mother Massey and sister served a seven course dinner in their honor. Guests present, Bishop, wife, little son, Rev. Clark, Rev. Draper, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Emmit Scott, sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jourdan and babies, Rev. Johnson and the family. Friday morning Rev. Draper entertained the bishop, wife, little son and presiding elder for breakfast, at 4:30, Mr. and Mrs. Hines and little daughter were at home to them for a ride around the inner loop, 22 miles in their car, and rushed to The Lanier Restaurant where a specially prepared dinner was served as only Mr. and Mrs. Laneer serve, the best cooks in town. The table was beautifully decorated, the most exquisite linens used. The party around the drive consisted of bishop and Mrs. Kyles and son, Revs. Draper, Johnson and the Hines family and all were guests at the dinner. After the sermon an afterpart was served at the Hines home, nuts from Alabama and Texas and other things which made the affair pleasant. The parties there were bishop, wife, son. Presiding Elder Clark, Rev. Draper, Johnson, Mother and Sister Massey and home folks, Mr. Hines conducted the party to the train and Mrs. Kyles wishes all of the folks to know that it is impossible to express how she enjoyed meeting the different ones and of the hospitality shown. The U. N. I. A. held its regular meeting. A nice meeting was had Friday night and a better one will be expected Friday night. Come out.

Bishop Reese of Georgia, tells a diverting story of his first appearance as a Bishop of the Episcopal Church in a backwoods church of Georgia, the congregation of which, wholly Negroes, had an easy manner of audibly approving sentiments expressed from the pulpit. "There are among you," he began, "some who remember my predecessor, Bishop Nelson, handsome, eloquent, devout. You will not find me like him." "No suh, no suh!" came a disconcerting chorus from the congregation. "And some of you," continued the Bishop, "will recall his predecessor, Bishop Beckwith—learned, robust, commanding. I am afraid you will not find me like him either." "No suh, no suh!" agreed the congregation. "There may even be some among you who will recall that saintly man, Bishop Elliott," Bishop Reese continued, struggling on, "and I cannot claim to be like him." "No suh, no suh!" echoed the congregation, with emphatic nods. Pausing in his desperation, Bishop Reese bent forward earnestly and faced the throng of expectant communicants. "But none the less," he said, impressively, "I am your Bishop." And back from the congregation came the devout and hearty response: "Dat you is, suh, dat you is!"—The Church at Work. The coming city election which will be held March 4, promises to be one of the hottest ever witnessed in this state. The colored voters of Phoenix will play an important part in this election as they will cast the deciding vote. We should stand up for the right and vote for men and measures who will at least recognize our group as a part of the body politic. The candidates have stated their positions and you should be able to judge for yourselves. The mission of the Tribune is to educate the voters so that you may be able to vote intelligently.

I shall vote for the bill because I am in hearty sympathy and accord with its intents and purposes. The continued frequency of mob rule in the United States which usually culminates in the putting to death of the victim in many instances in a most repulsive and barbarous manner is a blot and a stain on our country's name and professed civilization, and such atcations can not be justified under any circumstances. I believe this bill, when enacted into law, will have a very powerful THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING moral effect upon the law officers of the country. I can see no good reason why there should be any opposition to it, for no one can consistently condone the action of an infuriated mb bent upon wrecking vengeance upon a helpless victim, too often without substantial proof of the guilt of the victim, and in many instances carrying out the will of the mob in a manner far more gruesome than the crime of which the victim is charged.—Isaac Bacharach, New Jersey. Nation Tired of Mobs We as a nation know too well the efficacy of the orderly administration which lynchings are of frequent occurrence must learn now that the patience of liberty loving America is about exhausted. There are no "ifs" and "ands" about it. This bill, amended or unamended, will pass, and those communities can take the consequences or leave them alone. The decision is up to them. (Applause). There never was a case of mob violence, but that every personal safeguard constitutional, legal, and moral was overridden with heartless impunity. There never was a case of lynching but that every law, so carefully woven into our civil fabric was defiled and every element of orderly, organized government for the time was overthrown.—John F. Miller, Washington. Loyalty To Country In the early morning of a spring day of 1918 healthy, manly colored boys began to assemble in Washington Square, New York City. Thousands of them were formed in a military procession and marched up Fifth Avenue amid the cheering of the multitude. The places of business were decorated with the national emblem, and when they reached Murray Hill they were stopped in front of the Union Club, where the governor of the state descended, accompanied by his official retinue, and passed to this company of colored troops their colors and said to them that they should bring them back with honor. The survivors of this company, some of them having paid the supreme sacrifice, came back to their country, bringing the colors with honor. They all offered their lives to save the world for democracy and save the civil and personal freedom of every man, woman, and child in the United States. In the heart of hearts of these brave colored boys rested the hope that their acts of bravery would also free them and give them a little higher standing in the community in which they lived. They had the hope that while they were fighting to make the world safe for democracy and saye civilization they might also win a little freedom for themselves. What has been the record? They were honorably discharged from the service, and within one year from the time they were discharged ten of their number were lynched, not one of the ten for rape.—Wm. Chalmers, Ohio. DISGUISED AS MAN STEALS RIDE (Associated Negro Press) Mobile, Ala., Feb. 24. — Wearing men's clothing and beating her way from Denver to Dalton, Ga., where she claims she has a sister who is ill, a brown skin woman was discovered in an empty freight car at the Choctaw yards of the Louisville and Nashville company by special agents of the line. The woman told the officials that she was trying to get to her sister who was ill and having no money, she decided to beat her way on freight trains. A collection was taken up among the employees of the road and others and a ticket bought to Dalton from this city and the woman sent on her way. She was a half breed Cherokee Indian, according to local officers. GOOD PLUMBING THEY SAY - KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!

She claims self defense. THE GREEN PEA PIRATES you'd realize what it means to run from a Mexican." Captain Scraggs said nothing further. Perhaps he was a little ashamed of himself in the face of Mr. Gibney's simple faith in his own ability; perhaps in his veins, all unknown, there flowed a taint of the heroic blood of some forgotten sea-dog. Be that as it may, something did swell in his breast when Mr. Gibney spoke of the flag and his scorning to hide behind it, and Scraggs's snaggle teeth came together with a snap. "All right, Gib, my boy," he said solemnly, "Tm with you. Mrs. Scraggs has slipped her cable and there ain't nobody to mourn for me. But if we can't fight under the Stars and Stripes, by the tail of the Great Sacred Bull, we'll have a flag of our own," and leaving Mr. Gibney and the crew to get the guns on deck, Captain Scraggs ran below. He appeared on deck presently with a long blue burgee on which was emblazoned in white letters the single word Maggle. It was his own houseflag, and with trembling hands he ran it to the fore and cast its wrinkled folds to the breeze of heaven. "Good old dishthoof," stirred Mr. "Good old dishcloth!" shrieked Mr. Gibney. "She never comes down." "D—d if she does," said Captain Scraggs profanely. While all this was going on, a deckhand had reeved a block and tackle through the end of the cargo gaff and passed it to the winch. The two guns came out of the hold in jig time, and while Scraggs and one deckhand opened the after hold and got out ammunition for the guns, Mr. Gibney, assisted by the other deckhand, proceeded to put one of the guns together. He was shrewd enough to realize that he would have to do practically all of the work of serving the gun himself, in view of which condition one gun would have to defend the Maggie. He had never seen a mountain gun before, but he did not find it difficult to put the simple mechanism together. "Now, then, Scraggsy," he announced cheerfully when the gun was finally assembled on the carriage, "get a sizeable timber an' spike it to the center o' the deck. I'll run the trail spade up against that cleat an' that'll keep the recoil from lettin' the gun go backward, clean through the opposite rail and overboard. Gimme a coupler gallons o' distillate an' some waste, somebody. This cosmoline's got to come out o' the tube an' out o' the breech mechanism before we commence shootin'." The enemy had approached within three miles by the time the piece was ready for action. Under Mr. Gibney's instructions Captain Scraggs held the fuse setter in case it should be necessary to adjust with shrapnel. Mr. Gibney inserted his sights and took a preliminary squint. "A little different from gun-pointin' in the navy, but about the same principle," he declared. "In the army I believe they call this kind o' shootin' direct fire, because you sight direct on the target." He scratched his ingenious head and examined the ammunition. "Not a high explosive shell in the lot," he mourned. "I have to use percussion fire to get the range; then I'll drop back a little an' spray her with shrapnel. Seems a pity to smash up a fine schooner; like that one with percussion fire. I rather tickle 'em up a bit with shrapnel an' scare 'em into runnin' away." He got out the lanyard, slipped a cartridge in the breech, paused, and scratched his head again. His calm deliberation was driving Scraggs crazy. He reminded Mr. Gibney with some asperity that they were not attending a strawberry festival and for the love of heaven to get busy. "I'm estimatin' the range, you sappie," Gibney retorted. "Looks to be about three miles to me. A little long, tweeble, for this gun, but—there's nothin' like tryin'," and he sighted carefully. "Fire," he bawled as the Maggie rested an instant in the trough of the sea—and a deckhand jerked the lanyard. Instantly Mr. Gibney clapped the long glass to his eye. "Good direction—over," he murmured. "Till lay on her waterline next time." He jerked open the breech, ejected the cartridge case, and rammed another cartridge home. This shot struck the water directly under the schooner's bow and threw water over her forecastle head. Mr. Gibney smiled, spat overboard, and winked confidently at Captain Scraggs. "Like spearin' fish in a bath tub," he declared. He bent over the fuse setter. "Corrector three zero," he intoned, "four eight hundred." He thrust a cartridge in the fuse setter, twisted it, slammed it in the gun, and fired again. "Over," he growled. Something whined over the Maggle and threw up a waterspout half a mile beyond her. "Dubs," jeered Mr. Gibney, and sighted again. This time his shrapnel burst neatly on the schooner. Almost simultaneously a shell from the schooner dropped into the sacked coal on the forecastle head of the Maggie and enveloped her in a black pall of smoke and coal dust. Captain Scraggs screamed. "Tit for tat," the philosophical Gibney reminded him. "We can't expect to get away with everything, Scraggsy, old kiddo." The words were scarcely out of his mouth before the Maggle's mainstam and about ten feet of her ancient railing were trailing alongside. Mr. Gibney whistled softly through his teeth and successfully sprayed the Mexican again. "It breaks my heart to ruin that craft's canvas," he declared, and let her have it once more. "My Maggale's tail is shot, away," Captain Scraggs walled, "an" I only rebuilt it a week age." Three more shots from the long gun missed them.

Walter Flowers a Pullman porter was caught with several cases of the goods. He appealed to Sam McGowan, well known Colored politician who has a job in the county recorder's office. McGowan spoke to Colonel John V. Clinnin, assistant United States attorney about it and to others in District Attorney Clyne's office. The first grand jury to which the case was presented voted a "no bill" because it was said no evidence was presented. Flowers said he then paid McGowan $1,300 and McGowan reluctantly told Judge Landis that he had received it. They might have been in the clear if they had not been so encouraged by that success as to try to recover the confiscated whiskey. That effort brought the matter to the attention of the district attorney and he sent the case to a second grand jury which indicted. Flowers pleaded guilty, but bellowed about his bad luck and Judge Landis heard of it. Flowers has been sent to jail and it is claimed that it serves him right. In the meantime Attorney General Daugherty has suspended Colonel Clinnin, assistant district attorney, and one of the most influential politicians in the city and is investigating the case. The old time miner with his primitive methods of operation is not extinct. Two miners working with an old-fashioned rocker took out $10,000 worth of gold in six weeks recently in the Caribou Creek country of the Caribou mining district of British Columbia.
