HONOR AND CREDIT Honor to whom honor is due and credit to that which is worthy of credit. Due to the fact of my indisposition on Monday evening, I was unable to convey my true thoughts to those present at the Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital at the reception given in honor of Miss Susie Brown, the efficient nurse who should soon make her departure to some other section of the country. As a club, rone can excel the Booker T. Washington Hospital Relief Club. And, why? Because we not only have business men and women connected with this club, but we have professional and distinguished persons, such as Dr. W. C. Hackett and wife, who are second to none in their line. We also have clergymen and heroes such as Rev. T. J. Sanford, Rev. E. D. Greene, Rev. M. Thompson, Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon and other respectable citizens. Now, Booker T. Washington has made his mark and passed on to the great beyond, but this club and its members are very much alive and are up and doing something worth while; uplifting humanity to the extent of no segregation and each good citizen and member of this wonderful race, should join forces in this great organization. Booker T. Washington Hospital Club.) and make Phoenix beacon light in the southwest for all peoples. 711 W. Sherman St. Phoenix, Arizona Set Out Trees Mr. A. G.

Atlanta, Ga., May 5.—Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican national committeeman from Georgia, who came here to attend a political meeting, emphatically denied that he was going to resign as national committeeman and declared untrue the charge that he was trying to "Africanize the party in Georgia." "All we ask for is some little show, some recognition," he said. Warm weather has arrived and the people of this section are preparing to leave in large numbers. Mr. Byas, Sam T. Lowder, Mr. Mitchell and son already have gone and others are planning to follow. Great enthusiasm was shown in the meeting Sunday at St. Paul Baptist church. The morning 'services were well attended and in the evening the house was crowded. The pastor preached two able sermons that were well received. Much interest is being manifested in the Christian Epideavor meetings held at the A. M. E. Zion church. We are glad to see so many young people taking part in these meetings and trust their enthusiasm will not wane. Deacon Wise has left for Riverside, Cal., where he will enter a hospital. We hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. Joe Ellerson has moved 'to town and has opened a swell cafe in North Main street. The colored people of Blythe had quite an outing Sunday evening. They witnessed the open air baptising by the white Baptist church. Miss Ada Bras and Rev. Robinson were dinner guests of Mrs. Vina Taleem on last Sunday.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922 BLACK MAN REFUSES POSITION OFFERED BY PRES. HARDING BLACK MAN REFUSES POSITION OFFERED BY PRES. HARDING (Special To The Tribune) Chicago, Ill. May 5.—Frank A. Byron made a quiet trip here from Washington recently to decline appointment as Deputy Internal Revenue Inspector. Federal officials expressed surprise as refusals of this sort have been rare, but Mr. Byron had an eminently good reason for his refusal. The position which he holds in Washington is infinitely better than anything which the administration is offering in district offices, even the salary being a thousand or two higher. Mr. Byron, who is a Chicagoan has the distinction of serving as clerk to the House Committee on Naval affairs, his appointment marking the first time a Colored man has ever held a position as clerk to any committee. He won the position through merit and because he knew the work, having served the committee in various capacities for the past 20 years. Mr. Chas Pickett for years trusted confidential secretary to the late Senator Cullom and now with Senator McKinley is credited with being the power which brings things to pass for Illinois. While he works modestly and quietly. Mr. Pickett is always on the qui vive to do the thing which can be counted to be of the greatest good to the group. Successful Play Given The class play given Friday night, April 28 by students of the colored division of the Phoenix Union High School was a pronounced success in every way. The auditorium was filled with interested spectators and they were not disappointed with the play. The students played well their parts, several displayed rare talent and ability. The high school teachers, Mrs. C. B. Caldwell and Mrs. Myrtle Rodgers, deserve much praise for the wonderful manner in which they trained the pupils for their parts. The play this year was the best and most successful ever given by students of this division of the high school. ```markdown ``` The entertainment and dance given Monday night May 1, by ladies of the Charity club at the Frolic dance hall, was a brilliant success, both financially and socially. Over three-hundred attended and all were unanimous in proclaiming it one of the most delightful social affairs ever witnessed in Phoenix. The Morrison Jazz Orchestra and entertainers were the feature attractions and their popularity added to the success of the affair Delightfully Entertained After the Charity Club dance Monday night at the Frolic, the Merrison Jazz orchestra entertainers were special guests of Mrs. J.

All will gather at the home of Mr Shepperson's sister, Mrs. Josie Wade, 4324 Cote Brilliant street. Mr. Shepperson will return to Phoenix after the reunion. Expression of Gratitude Mr. George Morrison, speaking for the Morrison orchestra stated that they were lost for words to express their thanks and appreciation for the excellent manner in which the citizens of Phoenix entertained them. They want you to know that they are grateful for all favors shown them and should any of you come to their home in Denver, they ask that you look them up and they will try to return your kindness.

However, it is the earnest hope of their many friends that they will have a glowing success in their new field. Mrs. Mack has been in California for several months. Mr Mack left Tuesday for the coast. Their places will be hard to fill.

As a feature of the week, postoffice officials have arranged inspection tours of the Phoenix office, that the general public may become acquainted with methods of handling mail. These tours will be conducted whenever a party of 25 or more is organized, Selim Michelson, postmaster, said. During this week the general public is invited to cooperate with the local department for the betterment of postal service. To this end, the department is preparing mail schedules, showing the arrival and departure of trains and the hours mail matter should be posted to catch these outgoing mails. These schedules are being mailed to all business houses and manufacturing plants and to individuals upon application. Prior to the opening of Postal Improvement Week, a series of meetings was held for all postal employees and suggestions for the betterment of service were invited. The public also is invited to make whatever suggestions it has in mind for the improvement of service, either locally or in the rural districts. In connection with the campaign, the local postoffice department has mailed the following letter to all Phoenix business men: "You are naturally interested in the economy of time as it affects your business mail. Did you know that if you tie a string around your package of letters and drop them in the package box, it will save a lot of time in arranging them for the canceling machine? "Why not keep them in orderly fashion, as they certainly must be when you have sealed and stamped them, and send them to the postoffice in that manner? "Just think how a little thoughtful act of this kind on your part will assist in helping your mail to catch an early train. "Mail trains don't wait. We must be on time. Won't you assist the postoffice to give your letters the best service possible? "Don't forget to keep the mail coming to us. Just take those letters that are ready and send them to the mail box at intervals during the day. "Don't be an 'also-ran.' Study your schedules, finish and mail such letters as go by the next train and impress upon your office force the importance to your business of getting your mail to the postoffice promptly, tied in bundles, so we can handle it quickly to the departing train." Mrs. James Entertains Sunday afternoon, April 30 Mrs. Ben James, assisted by Mrs. L. Ada Walker, entertained informally with a musical at her home 14, North 11th street complimentary to Prof. and Mrs. Wade Hammond, chief musician of the 10 cavalry band at Fort Huachuca, and Mrs. Carter, wife of Chapain Carter of the 25th Infantry, stationed at Nogales, and the Morrison orchestra of Denver, Colo. Over forty guests were invited and came to meet the honor guests and enjoy the music. A number of vocal selections by Mrs. Carter, who also is an accomplished musician, a violin number by Mr. Geo. Morrison who is too well known in the southwest for introduction, a number by Miss Gertrude Bradshaw of Topeka, Kansas, Mr. Lee Morrison, Mr. Montgomery and Miss Hattie McDaniels with Mrs. Weaver at the piano, completed the delightful musical program. Punch and ices were served Mrs. Chas. Lewis presiding at the punch bowl. Mrs. Oralee Mims assisted in receiving. At a late hour all departed proclaiming Mesdames James and Walker excellent hostesses.

HOBBIES very community, more or less, and who come later fall in line. Group are enthused about the Association and African Community, founded a short time ago by the National President of Africa. We are leading men and women are meeting the meetings, which are held in these meetings they discuss ways of people of the race, improve the status. They preach the doctrine and co-operation.

They are going forward and give a goal and are determined to individual or a race as to have. Then, you are moving in an orientation is fired. I wish to make is this: Phoenix of the cities named and our city combined. We have a brave city, but it is not functioning, used call after call for a meeting. We have a local division of the to get the people together, by call number present. Those wiving weak and discouragement that's the matter with Phoenix over anything? Many brilliants not a few eloquent, oratorical up our group. If we do not pushed back. You can not sit the tide is too swift. We need, from the state of lethargy we arise and unite our force soon, we are due to have aers to use their minds and do precede action; action become destiny. Think on these lines. People of every community, more or less, are given to some hobby, and those who come later fall in line. In Prescott the people of our group are enthused about the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, an organization founded a short time ago by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa. We are informed that nearly all the leading men and women are members of the organization and the meetings, which are held weekly, are well attended. In these meetings they discuss ways to better living conditions among people of the race, improve their moral, social and intellectual status. They preach the doctrine of race solidarity, race unity and co-operation. Some good is bound to result from such meetings and no thinking person of our group will condemn the motive. In the little town of Mesa, just sixteen miles from Phoenix, the colored people caught the U. N. I. A. spirit and with safe and sane leaders, have taken the town. They discussed organization and co-operation until it became a part of their nature. Result: On the 20th of this month they will open what is known as a Co-operative Grocery Store. Every share of stock in this giant enterprise has been subscribed and paid for by colored people. The idea surely is not a bad one if it leads our people to do things like that. In Albuquerque, N. M., the colored people are enthusiastic about the National Association for The Advancement of Colored People. The Spring membership drive is on and more than one hundred new members have been secured by workers. They hold regular meetings, discuss current topics, teach race pride, unity and solidarity. They are going forward and their future is bright. They have a goal and are determined to reach it. Nothing so arouses an individual or a race as to have a commanding object in view. Then, you are moving in an orderly, systematic way and your ambition is fired. The point we wish to make is this: Phoenix is many times larger than any of the cities named and our colored population greater than all three combined. We have a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in the city, but it is not functioning properly. The president has issued call after call for a meeting and cannot get even a quorum. We have a local division of the U. N. I. A. and it is trying hard to get the people together, but each meeting sees the same small number present. Those who have been attending are growing weak and discouragement is written on their brows. What's the matter with Phoenix? Can't we be made to enthuse over anything? Many brilliant minds are in our town, and not a few eloquent, oratorical and intellectual giants go to make up our group. If we do not go forward we will as surely be pushed back. You can not stand still in this progressive age, the tide is too swift. We need to be aroused, awakened, as it were, from the state of lethargy into which we have fallen. Unless we arise and unite our forces under a single banner, and do it soon, we are due to have a rude awakening. We ask our readers to use their minds and do a little thinking. Thought should precede action; action becomes a habit and habit shapes our destiny. Think on these lines. Think out loud. OUR COMPLIMENTS first Review, a race journal pub- lishes forth this week with its five pages, well filled with National amount of advertising from a triumph in journalism.

The Southwest Review, a race journal published in Albuquerque, N. M., comes forth this week with its first Anniversary Number. Eight pages, well filled with National, State and local news and a liberal amount of advertising from local merchants, make this number a triumph in journalism. Editor S. W. Henry and his corps of workers deserve the unstinted praise and commendation of all colored members of the Fouth Estate. Just think, only one year old, and they own their printing establishment, have all colored employees and are able to produce an eight page creditable newspaper. This is little short of marvelous, and when it is remembered that they have less than a thousand colored people to draw from, it is all the more wonderful. Situated as we are, brother Henry, we know what this year of struggle has meant to you and your co-workers and it is our sincere wish that the ensuing year and those which follow, may abound with success for your valuable paper.

Not a scar on her shapely lines gave evidence of the sangulinary engagement through which she had passed. Mr. Gibney had her painted a creamy white with a dark blue waterline. She had had her bottom cleaned and scraped and the copper sheathing overhauled and patched up. Her salts had been overhauled, inspected, and repaired wherever necessary, and in order to be on the safe side, Mr. Gibney, upon motion duly made by him and seconded by McGuffey (to whom the seconding of the Gibney motions had developed into a habit), purchased an extra suit of new salts. The engines were overhauled by the faithful McGuffey and a large store of distillate stored in the hold. Captain Scraggy, with his old-time aversion to expense, made a motion (which was seconded by McGuffey before he had taken time to consider its import), providing for the abolition of the office of chief engineer while the Maggie II was under sail, at which time the chief ex-officio was to hold himself under the orders of the commodore and be transferred to the deck department if necessary. Mr. Gibney approved the measure and it went into effect. Only on entering or leaving a port, or in case of chase by an enemy, were the engines to be used, and McGuffey was warned to be extremely saving of his distillate. Mr. Gibney made a splendid job of changing the vessel's name, and as she chugged lazily out of Panama bay and lifted to the long ground-swell of the Pacific, it is doubtful if even her late Mexican commander would have recognized her. She was indeed a beautiful craft, and Commodore Gibney's heart swelled with pride as he stood aft, conning the man at the wheel, and looked her over. It seemed like a sacrilege now, when he reflected how he had trained the gun of the old Maggle on her that day off the Coronados, and it seemed to him now even a greater sacrilege to have brazenly planned to enter her as a privateer in the struggles of the republic of Colombia. The past tense is used advisely, for that project was now entirely off, much to the secret delight of Captain Scruggs, who, if the hero of one naval engagement, was not anxious to take part in another. In Panama the freebooters of the Maggle II learned that during Mr. Gibney's absence on his fillibustering trip the Colombian revolutionists had risen and struck their blow. After the fashion of a hot-headed and impetuous people, they had entered the contest absolutely untrained. As a result, the war had lasted just two weeks, the leaders had been incontinently shot, and the white-winged dove of peace had once more spread her pinions along the borders of the Gold coast. Commodore Gibney was disgusted beyond measure, and at a special meeting of the syndicate, called in the cabin of the Maggie II that same evening, it was finally decided that they should embark on an indefinite trading cruise in the South seas, or until such time as it seemed their services must be required to free a downtrodden people from a tyrant's yoke. Captain Scraggs and McGuffey had never been in the South seas, but they had heard that a fair margin of profit was to be wring from trade in copra, shell, coconuts, and kindred tropical products. They so expressed themselves. To this suggestion, however, Commodore Gibney waved a deprecating paw. "Legitimate tradin', boys," he said, "is a sane, sane, healthy business, but the profits is slow. What we want is quick profits, and while it ain't set down in black and white, one of the principal objects of this syndicate is to lead a life of wild adventure. In tradin', there ain't no adventure to speak of. We ought to do a little black-birdin', or raid some of those Jap pearl fisheries off the northern coast of Formosa." "But we'll be chased by real gunboats if we do that," objected Captain Scraggs. "Those Jap gunboats shoot to kill. Can't you think of somethin' else, Gib?" "Well," said Mr. Gibney, "for a starter, I can. Suppose we just head straight for Kandavu island in the Fijis, and scheme around for a cargo of black coral? It's only worth about fifty dollars a pound. Kandavu lays somewhere in latitude 22 south, longitude 178 west, and when I was there last it was fair reckin' with cannibal savages. But there's tons of black coral there, and nobody's ever been able to sneak in and get away with it. Every time a boat used to land at Kandavu, the native niggers would have a white-man stew down on the beach, and it's got so that skippers give the island a wide berth." "Gib, my dear boy," chattered Captain Scraggs, "Tm a man of peace and I—" "Scruggag, old stick-in-the-mud," said Mr. Gibney, laying an affectionate hand on the skipper's shoulder, "you're nothin' of the sort. You're a fightin' turantula, and nobody knows it bet- ter'n Adelbert P. Gibney. I've seen you in action, Scraggsy. Remember that. It's all right for you to say you're a man of peace and advise me and McGuffey to keep out of the track of trouble, but we know that away down low you're goin' around lookin' for blood, and that once you're up again the enemy, you never but an eyelash. Eh. McGuffey?" McGuffey nodded; whereupon, Captain Scraggs, making but a poor effort to conceal the pleasure which Mr. Gibney's rude compliment afforded him, turned to the walk, glanced seaward, and started to walk to attend to some trifling detail connected with the boat' fails "All right, Gib, my lad," he said, affecting to resign himself to the inevitable, "have it your own way. You're a commodore and I'm only a plain captain, but I'll follow wherever you lead. I'll go as far as the next man and we'll glom that black coral if we have to slaughter every man, woman and child on the island. Only, when we're sizzlin' in a pot don't you up and say I never warned you, because I did. How d'ye propose intimidatin' the natives, Gib?" "Scruggsy," said the commodore, solemnly, "we've waged a private war agin a friendly nation, licked 'em and helped ourselves to their ship. We've changed her name and rig and her official number and letters and we're salin' under bogus papers. That makes us pirates, and that old Maggie burgee floatin' at the fore ain't nothin' more nor less than the Jolly Roger. All right! Let's be pirates. Who cares? When we slip into Mugahar harbor we'll invite the king and his head men aboard for dinner. We'll get 'em drunk, clap 'em in double irons, and surrender 'em to their weepin' subjects when they've filled the hold of the Maggie II with black coral. If they refuse to come aboard we'll shell the bush with that long gun and the Maxim rapid-fire guns we've got below decks. That'll scam 'em so they leave us alone and we can help ourselves to the coral." Scraggs' cold blue eyes glistened, "Lord, Gil," he murmured, "you've got a head." "Like playin' post-office," was McGuffey's comment. The commodore smiled, "I thought you boys would see it that way. Now tomorrow I'm going ashore to buy three divin' outfits and lay in a big stock of provisions for the voyage. In the meantime, while the carpenters are gettin' the ship into shape, we'll leave the first mate in charge while we go ashore and have a good time. I've seen worse places than Panama." As a result of this conference Mr. Gibney's suggestions were acted upon, and they contrived to make their brief stay in Panama very agreeable. They inspected the work on the canal, marveled at the stupendous engineering in the Culebra Cut, drank a little, gambled a little. McGuffey whipped a bartender. He was ordered arrested, and six spiggoty little policemen, sent to arrest him, were also thrashed. The reserves were called out and a riot ensued. Mr. Gibney, following the motto of the syndicate, l. e. All for one and one for all- United we stand, divided we fall mixed in the conflict and presently found himself in durance vile. Captain Scraggs, luckily, forgot the motto and escaped, but inasmuch as he was on hand next morning to pay a fine of thirty pesos levied against each of the culprits, he was instantly forgiven. Mr. Glbney vowed that if a United States cruiser didn't happen to be lying in the roadstead, he would have shelled the town in retaliation. But eventually the days passed, and the Maggie II, well found and ready for sea, shook out her sails to a fair breeze and sailed away for Kandavu. She kept well to the southwest until she struck the southeast trades, when she swung around on her course, headed straight for her destination. It was a pleasant voyage, devoid of incident, and the health of all hands was excellent. Mr. Gibney took daily observations, and was particular to make daily entries in his log when he, Scraggs, and McGuffey were not playing cribbage, a game of which all three were passionately fond. On the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day after leaving Panama the lookout reported land. Through his glasses Mr. Gibney made out a cluster of tall palms at the southerly end of the island, and as the schooner held lazily on her course he could discern the white breakers foaming over the reefs that guarded the entrance to the harbor. "That's Kandavu, all right," announced the commodove. "I was there in '89 with Bill McGinty in the schooner Dashin' Wave. There's the entrance to the harbor, with the Esk reefs to the north and the Pearl reefs to the south. The channel's very narrow—not more than three cables, if it's that, but there's plenty of water and a good muddy bottom that'll hold. McGuffey, lad, better run below and tune up your engines. It's too dangerous a passage on an ebb-tide for a sailin' vessel, so we'll run in under the power. Scraggsy, stand by and when I give the word have your crew shorten salt." Within a few minutes a long white streak opened up in the wake of the schooner, announcing that McGuffey's engines were doing duty, and a nice breeze springing up two points aft the beam, the Maggie heeled over and fairly flew through the water. Mr. Gibney smiled an ecstatic smile as he took the wheel and guided the schooner through the channel. He rounded her up in twelve fathoms, and within five minutes every stitch of canvas was clewed down hard and fast. The sun was setting as they dropped anchor, and Mr. Gibney had lanterns ```markdown ``` Visitor from Hauchuca Sgt. Claud U.

CAVALRY VISITS FAMOUS TENTH Fort Huachuca, Ariz., April 28. Following the visit here of the United States chief of cavalry, General Holbrook, members of the Tenth United States cavalry regiment were granted two special holidays in appreciation of the excellent showing made during the process of inspection. One day was granted on the recommendation of General Holbrook and the other by the regimental commander as a mark of his own appreciation. The program included a full pack inspection, preceded by a review, inspection of barracks and stables, combat exercises with ball ammunition, a horse show of military events, a steeple chase and a polo game between picked teams. Colonel Winans, regimental commander, announces it as the opinion of the assistant secretary of war that the Tenth regiment is in a class by itself in every way. The wagon train is rated the most efficient, spick and span in appearance, etc., in existence. This is the "graduation regiment" for all generals, including General Pershing. In addition it holds the "champion athletic team" of the whole army. LEAGUE SEASON OPENS OFFICIALLY MAY 6TH Detroit, Mich., May 5.

This will give the fans along the circuit route a chance to see two of the best playing teams in the league and should furnish an excellent opportunity for a general sizing-up of the goods packed by the various clubs, especially Cleveland and Pittsburgh—new clubs in the league. The clubs that compose the Western circuit of the National Negro League are: American Giants, Chicago; Detroit Stars, Detroit; Tate Stars, Cleveland; Keystone, Pittsburgh; Taylor's A. B. Cs, Indianapolis; St. Louis Stars, St. Louis; Monarchs, Kansas City; and Cuban Stars, Havana, Cuba—(traveling club). The Hildaldes of Darby, Pa., and the Bacharach Giants of New York City are eastern clubs affiliated with the western organization. WIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER OF HUSBAND Deland, Fla., May 5.—Peter Smith, charged with murder in connection with the death of Wm. A. Shields, white, formerly of Moline, Ill. was released from jail here Wednesday; the Volusta county grand jury reporting it could not find a true bill. Mrs. Alice E. Shields, widow of the slain man, was indicted for murder in the first degree for the crime. The true bill charges her with having "sided, abetted, hired, procured or counseled" the unidentified person who killed Shields. MAN KILLS WIFE AND SELF WHILE ON TRAIN Beaumont, Texas, May 5.—While coming to this city last Monday night on a Santa Fe passenger train from Newton county, Samuel Samson shot and killed his wife who was seated beside him and then placed the gun to his temple and killed himself before other passengers in the coach could reach him. Insanity is thought to be the cause for Samson's act. The bodies were brought here. Samson formerly lived in Beaumont. THE ETERNAL FEMININE "The last shall be first."

It has been well said that the cart horse goes until he can't go another inch and then gives up: that the thoroughbred goes until he can't go another inch—and then goes the other inch. The Green Pea Pirates (Continued from page 2) hung along the sail so that it would be impossible for any craft to approach the echooner and board her without being seen. Also the watch on deck that night carried Mauser riles, six-shooters, and cutlasses. Mr. Gibney was taking no chances. "Now, boys," announced Commodore Gibney, as he sat at the head of the officers' mess at breakfast next morning, "there'll be a lot of canoes padding off to visit us within the hour, so whatever you do, don't allow more than two of these cannibals aboard the schooner at the same time. Make 'em keep their weapons in the canoes with 'em, and at the first sign of trouble shoot 'em down like dogs. It may be that these precautions ain't necessary, but when I was here twenty years ago it was all the rage to kill a white man and eat him. Maybe times has changed, but the harbor and the coast looks just as wild and lonely as they ever did, and I didn't see no sign of missionary when we dropped hook last night. So don't take no chances." All hands promised that they would take extreme care, to the end that their precious persons might remain intact, so Mr. Gibney finished his cup of coffee at a gulp and went on deck. The Kandavu aborigines were not long in putting in an appearance. Even as Mr. Gibney came on deck half a dozen canoes shot out from the beach. Mr. Gibney immediately piped all hands on deck, armed them, and nonchalantly awaited the approach of what might or might not turn out to be an enemy. When the flotilla was within pistol shot of the schooner Mr. Gibney stepped to the rail and motioned them back. Immediately the natives ceased paddling, and a wild-looking fellow stood up in the forward canoe. After the manner of his kind he had all his life soused his head in line-water when making his savage toilet, and as a result his shock of black hair stood on end and bulged out like a crowded hayrick. He was naked, of course, and in his hand he held a huge war club. "That feller'd eat a rattlesnake," gasped Captain Scraggs. "Shoot him, Gib, if he bats an eye." "Shut up," said the commodore, a trifle testily; "that's the number-one nigger, who does the talkin'. Hello, boy." "Hello, cap'n" replied the savage, and saunaed gravely. "You likee buy chicken, buy pig? Maybe you say come 'board, I talk. Me very good friend white master." "Bless my sweet-scented soul!" gasped the commodore. "What won't them missionaries do next? Cut off my ears if this nigger ain't civilized!" He beckoned to the canoe and it shot alongside, and its brown crew came climbing over the rail of the Maggie II. Mr. Gibney met the spokesman at the rail and they rubbed noses very THE TWO MEN KISSING They Rubbed Noses Very Solennly, solemnly, after the manner of salutation in Kandavu. Captain Scraggs bustled forward, full of importance. "Interduce me, Gib," he said amably, and then, while Mr. Gibney favored him with a sour glance, Captain Scraggs stuck out his hand and shook briskly with the native. "Happy to make your acquaintance," he said. "Scraggs is my name, sir. Shake hands with McCuffey, our chief engineer. Hope you left all the folks at home well. What'd you say your name was?" The islander hadn't said his name was anything, but he grinned now and replied that it was Tabu-Tabu. "Well, my bucko," muttered McDuffey, who always drew the color line, "I'm glad to hear that. But you ain't the only thing that's taboo around this packet. You can jest check that war club with the first mate, pendin' our better acquaintance. Hand it over, you black beggar, or I'll lit you a swat in the car that'll hurt all your relations. And hereafter, Scruggsy, just keep your nigger friends to yourself. I ain't waxy' effusive over this savage, and its again my principles ever to shake hands with a colored man. This chap's a d—d ugly customer, and you take my word for it." Tabu-Tabu grinned again, walked to the rail, and tossed his war club down into the canoe. "Me good missionary boy," he said, rather humbly. (CONTINUED NEXT ISSUE) CHAPTER XI "McGuffey, my dear boy," protested Captain Scraggs, "don't be so doggone rude. You might hurt this poor lad's feelin's. Of course he's only a simple native nigger, but even a dawg has feelin's. You——" "A-r-r-rhl" snarled McGuffey. "You two belay talkin' and snappin' at each other," commanded Mr. Gibney, "an' leave all bargainin' to me. This boy is all right and we'll get along first rate if you two just haul ship and do somethin' useful besides buttin' in on your superior officer. Come along, Tabu-Tabu. Makee little eat down in cabin. You talkee captain." "Gib, my dear boy," sputtered Captain Scraggs, bursting with curiosity, following the commodore's reappearance on deck, "whatever's in the wind?" "Money—fortune," said Mr. Gibney, solemnly. McGuffey edged up and eyed the commodore seriously. "Sure there ain't a little fightin' mixed up in it?" he asked. "Not a bit of it," replied Mr. Gibney, "You're as safe on Kandavu as if you was in church. This Tabu kid is sort of prime minister to the king, with a heap of influence at court. The crew of a British cruiser stole him for a galley police when he was a kid, and he got civilized and learned to talk English. He was a cannibal in them days, but the chaplain aboard showed him how foolish it was to do such things, and finally Tabu-Tabu got religion and asked as a special favor to be allowed to return to Kandavu to civilize his people. As a result of Tabu-Tabu's efforts, he tells me the king has concluded that when he eats a white man he's flyin' in the face of his own interests, and most generally a gunboat comes along in a few months and shells the bush, and—well, anyhow, there ain't been a barbecue on Kandavu for ten years. It's a capital crime to eat a man now, and punishable by bollin' the offender alive in palm oil." "Well," rumbled McGuffey, "this Tabu-Tabu don't look much like a preacher, if you ask me. But how about this black coral?" "Oh, I've ribbed up a deal with him," said Mr. Gibney. "He'll see that we get all the trade we can lug away. We're the first vessel that's touched here in two years, and they have a thunderin' lot of stuff on hand, Tabu's gone ashore to take the king into doin' business with us. If he consents, we'll have him and Tabu-Tabu and three or four of the subchiefs aboard for dinner, or else he'll invite us ashore for a big feed, and we'll have to go." "Supposin' the king don't care to have any truck with us?" inquired McGuffey, anxiously. "In that case, Mac," replied the commodore with a smile, "we'll just naturally shell him out of house and home." "Well, then," said McGuffey, "let's get the guns ready. Sethinh" tells me these people ain't to be trusted, and I'm tellin' you right now, Gib, I won't sleep well tonight unless them two quarter galltings and the Maxim-Vickers rapid-fire guns is mounted and ready for business." "All right, Mac," replied Mr. Gibney, in the tone one uses when humoring a baby. "Set 'em up if it'll make you feel more cheerful. Still, I don't see why you want to go actin' so foolish over nothin'." "Well, Gib," replied the engineer, "I may be crazy, but I ain't no fool, and if there's a dead whale around the ship, I can come pretty near smellin' it. I tell you, Gib, that Tabu-Tabu nigger had a look in his eye for all the world like a cur dog lickin' a bone, I ain't takin' no chances. My old man used to say: 'Bart, whatever you do, allers have an anchor out to windward.'" "By the left hind leg of the Great Sacred Bull," snapped Captain Scraggs, "if you ain't enough to precipitate war." "War," replied McGuffey, "is my long suit—particularly war with native niggers. I just naturally crave to punch the ear of anything darker than a Portuguee. Remember how I cleaned out the police department of Panama." "Mount the guns if you're goin' to, Mac. If not, for the love of the Lord don't be demoralizn' the crew with this talk of war. All I ask is that you set the guns after I've finished my business here with Tabu-Tabu. He's been on a war vessel, and knows what guns are, and if he saw you mountin' them it might break up our friendly relations. He'll think we don't trust him." "Well, we don't," replied McGuffey, doggedly. "Well, we do," snapped Captain Scraggs. There is always something connected with the use of that pronoun of kings which eats like a canker at the heart of men of the McGuffey breed. That officer now spat on the deck, if defiance of the rules of his superior officers, and glared at Captain Scraggs. "Speak for yourself, you miserable little wart," he roared. "If you include me on that cannibals' visitin' list, and go to contradictin' me again, I'll——" "Mac," interrupted Mr. Gibney, angrily, "control yourself. It's agin the rules to have rag-chewin' and back-bitin' on the Maggie II. Remember our motto: 'All for one and one for all'——" "Here comes that sneakin' bushy-headed murderer back to the vessel," interrupted McGuffey. "I wonder what devilment he's to up now." Mr. McGuffey was partly right, for in a few minutes Tabu-Tabu came alongside, climbed aboard,' and salaamed.

Phoenix, Arizona Amu WHITE SOX WIN BOTH GAMES AT RIVERSIDE PARK LAST SUNDAY "Iron man" Hammond pitched the White Sox to the city baseball championship at Riverside park Sunday afternoon, winning both ends of a double-header. In the first game, Hammond beat the Caseys 5-4 and in the second event he downed the Giants 7-5. The diminutive portsider was in a hole several times, but he managed to work himself in the clear each time. Both games were scheduled for seven innings by agreement and both went an extra inning. Wrangling over decisions marred both games, the second contest being delayed fully 25 minutes by a dispute over a fly ball. The playing of Hout, Nuth, Teddy and Football featured the Sox' side while Golden, Ortega and Harry West-fall stood out for the Caseys. Wiz White was the shinning star for the Giants, the colored phenom pitching winning ball while his team-mates booted the ball to every corner of the lot. The first game was three and in the last half of the eighth inning, and with two men down Benenato threw wild to Hudlow and Messon romped home with the winning run.

The Phoenix Now $2.5 And W TRIBUNE PU CLUBS OF NATIONAL LEAGUE NOW READY TO START SEASON Chicago, Ill., May 5.—The majority of the clubs of the Negro National League got off to a flying start for the 1922 season, when a bright sunshine permitted several of the clubs to pull exhibition openings. The American Giants of Chicago led the head from an attendance standpoint, the largest opening day crowd in the history of that organization turned out to witness the Easter scrap. The loyalty of the fans was well rewarded by one of the fiercest contests yet waged. Torrentee, the star center fielder of the Foster club, rapped out a home run producing such a thrill that it required 20 minutes to clear the field of fanatics who rushed out to give the great batter the "glad-hand." Torrentee's drive, which went over the right field wall at American Giants' park, is the fourth ball to be hit over that particular spot since 1911. Pete Hill hit one over, Cyclone Joe Williams hit one over and Torrentee hit two over. Detroit Stars Win. 4-0 Detroit Stars Win, 4-0 Detroit, Mich., May 5—The Detroit Stars started the present season by blanking their opponents with a score of 4-0. The Stars have added several new faces to their roster and it is the opinion of all Detroit fandom—from the form displayed by the club in its first tilt—that the Wolverines are going to be strong penant contenders. The Detroit infield, considered from all angles, just about tops all competitors and the boys lived right up to expectations in their first appearance, pulling several of the most snappy stunts with lightning-like execution. MINSTREL SHOW MAKES HIT IN PITTSBURG Pittsburgh, Pa., May 5.—An aggregation composed of prominent society women of Chicago gave a minstrel show at the Pershing Theatre here last Friday night under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Urban League. While the ladies do not claim to be professional, but many of their stunts easily backed many "pros" off the boards. The S. R. O. signs were hung out long before time for the curtain to rise. A feature of the evening's offering was the ensemble composed of local talent and directed by Prof. S. Nelson Arter. The entire performance was well received. The Chicago ladies left Saturday for Brooklyn where they will give an entertainment for the benefit of the Urban League. BACHARACH GIANTS MOVE NORTHWARD New Orleans, La., May 5—Following the American Giants, and Cuban Stars, the Bacharach Giants of New York open a series of games here against the Crescent Stars. The Cuban Stars moved northward, stopping at Birmingham, Ala., for a series and then on to Indianapolis, Ind., where they opened April 30th in an exhibition game against the Taylor A. B. C's. ATTY. STEWART RECUPERATING French Lick, Ind., May 5.—Atty. Gilchrist Stewart, of New York City, is here taking special treatment and rest cure. Mr. Stewart is said to be suffering from high blood pressure. En route here he stopped over in Pittsburgh, Pa., and spent several days with his friend, Atty. Robert L. Vann. TUSKEGEE FINANCIAL AGENT VISITS PITTSBURGH, PENN. Pittsburgh, Pa., May 5.—Charles Winters Wood, Financial Agent for Tuskegee Institute spent several days in this city securing funds for his institution. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING Eastern Sport Flashes New York City, May 5—The St. Christopher Club of St. Phillips, Parish gained had splendid representation at the National Amateur Boxing Championships in Boston. Her boxers performed in a manner to draw praise from all the big dallies throughout the country. This club fosters amateur sport in every form and but for their activities along this line we would fall of representation at the many athletic meets and other affairs. The Lincoln Giants have started their campaign at Protectory Oval and continue to mow down the white clubs sent against them. A game is being staged every Sunday. The Bacharachs upon their arrival here will for the first time have their home grounds in this city and Messrs. Connors and Wilkins are looking forward to the season of this crack combination with great hopes for success. The Royal Giants have also started in Brooklyn and Nat. C. Strong will will pilot them at the Richmond Hill grounds where it is expected they will do even better than last year. The other semi-professional teams in New York City are getting ready to blossom forth, but consider the weather still too uncertain to venture out just at this time. Basket ball had its official close for the season in Newark, N. J., on Monday night, April 17t, when the players of the Dunbar Physical Culture Club defeated the boys of the Titan Athletic Club by a score of 27-23. The game was one of the best staged, and while many did not turn out to witness it, the season was auspiciously closed when Wheatland, the Lincoln University star, out-generalled Simms, the former Howard University luminary, who created a sensation on his first appearance in New Jersey sometime ago. Plans are on foot to make this the banner year in tennis here. The New York Tennis Association is at the present time laying plans that will give to this sport among colored people a boost that will place the game on an even firmer footing than in previous years. An attempt will be made to bring many foreign players here to compete with the best this country can produce. TOMMY BURNS SAYS HARRY WILL IS BEST BET FOR DEMPSEY TOMMY BURNS SAYS HARRY WILL IS BEST BET FOR DEMPSEY Brooklyn Fighter Compared to Boxer of J. L. Sullivan's Jaws; Tommy Burns says Harry is Only Pugilist Who has Any Chance With Dempsey—Claims He is Better Natural Fighter Than Jack Johnson, but Not As Good on Defense (By Preston News Service) New York City, May 5.—According to Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion, who is now using his right to write wonderful news items for the London papers about the "Manly Art." Burn's opinions are widely printed and generally respected when he talks about ring matters. Expostulating about present conditions of the heavy weight class, Burns says: "The only fighter who has a real good chance at all is Harry Wills. Probably no boxer knows Wills as as I do, as I referred two contests for him—one against Sam Langford and one against Jim Johnson. Wills won both fairly easy. "Wills is as big as Jack Johnson and a better natural fighter than he ever was, but not as good in defense. Wills is another Peter Jackson." URGES U. S. LOAN TO LIBERIA Washington, D. C., May 5.—The United States is morally obligated to keep its promise of extending five million dollars credit to Liberia and must make the loan or suffer a lamentable loss of respect before the eyes of the world. Secretary Hughes told the House Ways and Means Committee last Thursday afternoon. By vote of thirteen to nine the resolution was favorably reported out. It is known as the Fordney resolution. FIRE IN PROVIDENT MISSION Pittsburgh,Pa., May 5.—Fire last Monday night partly destroyed the three-story brick building in Fullerton street, owned by the Kingsley estate and leased by the Baptist Home Mission Board, but unoccupied at the time. The blaze is said to have started in the cellar and radially worked up to the roof, virtually destroying the interior of the building. PHOENIX TRIBUNE Sports J. ARTHUR JOHNSON EX-CHAMPION WANTS CHANCE AT DEMPSEY P. S. S. JACK JOHNSON As He Appears Today (Special To The Tribune) St. Louis, Mo., May 5.—Jack Johnson, who came to St. Louis this week with his own Vaudeville show wants a chance to wrest the crown from Dempsey. Johnson is just a stone's throw from being in the pink of competition and several weeks ago Mat Kinkle the fight promoter and one of the referees of battle between Johnson and Willard at Cuba remarked that he has never seen Jack in such good condition and that it is his opinion that Johnson is the only heavyweight in the ring today who can give Dempsey a run for his money. With a few months of hard training and road work Johnson would be as hard as a rock, he has never let himself become fat and soggie always doing a little training so that he could and will meet any man in the world today. Although it is a long time since Johnson indulged in a real battle, the big fellow has so much national ability that it is believed he still retains the form and smoothness of action which made him a real marvel and a champion of the world. JACK JOHNSON HAS LOST NONE OF HIS POPULARITY WITH ST. LOUIS NEGROES (Special To The Tribune) (Special To The Tribune) St. Louis, Mo., May 5.—A reception and dance will be given in honor of Jack Johnson, at Jazzland Wednesday night. The former champion of the heavy-weight prize ring will be present and meet his admirers in person. There is no doubt of a big crowd, for the man who beat Jeffries has thousands of followers in every city. TATE STARS TROUNCE A. B. C.'S 4-0 IN AN EXHIBITION GAME TATE STARS TROUNCE A. B. C.'S 4-0 IN AN EXHIBITION GAME Cleveland, Ohio, May 5.—Jim Taylor, one of the new managers in the league, tabbed a shutout by the score of 4-0 at an exhibition game. Bruce Petway is another manager who is serving his first term at the head of a club. Petway's men started him off with a 4-0 victory. Many of the new recruits upon the various clubs started off with a bang. Johnson a young outfielder snatched from among the small clubs in Michigan, up to date has made an impressive showing. Daniels, a young back-stop, has released a world of pep, showing a great throwing arm and generally stepping about like a vet. Both boys are with the Detroit Stars and look good for a stay. The Kansas City Monarchs have several recruits who are trying for regular berths. Among the number arethere former members of the 25th U. S. A. The Monarchss' grabbed two are three former members of the 25th and they proved about the classiest finds uncovered in years. If the new players from the army prove anywhere near the class of Rogan, Moore, Fagin and Hawkins, the first lot to be drafted, then we look for a world of sensational playing by the 1922 K. C. aggregation. Kansas City, Kansas, May 5.—Richard Reed, aged 58 years, was found dead early Friday morning with two bullet holes in chest by John McDowell. Reed'ssassailant has not been found. Musical Comedy MUSICAL COMEDY & DRAMA (By Preston News Service) R. L. Dougherty Staff Correspondent New York City, May 5.—The drama is not faring well in New York. The Dunbar players, led by Andrew Bishop and Cleo Nesmond, returned here some weeks ago and the first few nights business led the management to believe that a new area had been ushered in and colored people would support this form of entertainment inaugurated by Robert Levy of the Quality Amusement Company. Holy week and the days following left the Lafayette theatre high and dry, and the company played to very small houses. Negotiations are on foot to bring Whitney and Tutt back for a run of from four to six weeks at this house. The arrangements if carried through, will call for the showing of one of their latest musical hits to be followed by some of the hits of former days which helped to make the name of Whitney and Tutt famous in theatrical circles. Word comes that Robert Levy is again negotiating to get control of the Lafayette with other houses in Philadelphia, Washinton, and Baltimore. It is said that Mr. Levy plans a revival of the Lafayette Players and will present high-class dramas in conjunction with motion pictures acted by colored artists. Mr. Levy heads the Reel Pictures Corporation, the latest release of this company being "Easy Money" with S. K. Dudley. The picture failed to create any furore here in New York, and Dudley seems to be a stranger to the present generation. Speaking of motion pictures, after a close study of what our colored concerns have put out, we fail to see where our people at least here in New York, have done any raving. In spite of what might be said, we doubt seriously that this field offers anything worth while for the small investor if the companies are planning a campaign of stock selling to further their work. Our people do not seem to take kindly to investments of this kind, for the luke warm reception accorded productions from the colored companies have not been lost on those who would perhaps invest.

Baseball fans are promised one of the snappiest games of the season Sunday afternoon when the Western Giants and K. C.'s are scheduled to cross bats at Riverside. These teams are old rivals and the fight will be for blood. Manager Milton Lewis and Captain Haywood of the Giants, have been practicing their team hard for this game and indications are that they will bring home the bacon this time. Both teams are considered invincible, and when they meet Sunday afternoon in Riverside park it will be a case of an irresistible foe meeting an immovable object. Result: "Somewhat Is Bound to Happen." The Giants want all their friends to come out Sunday and root hard and strong, as a victory over the "Caseys" will mean much to them. months ago a white company started a campaign of stock selling to produce pictures and at this writing the concern seems to have followed the others to the land of forgotten things. An attempt to secure a Broadway house in which to place the Smarter Set company was made by Jack Goldberg recently. Mr. Goldberg placed the ill-fated "Put and Take" in the Town Hall and worked heroically to carry the Whitney boys down town, but at present the outlook is very hazy as it is argued that the powers in control of the Big street will not countenance another colored production as long as "Shuffle Along" remains at the 63rd Street Music Hall. Then too, such a show must measure up to or be even better than "Shuffle Along," and in all fairness we cannot say the Smarter Set company can stand the comparison.

Tut!! Tut!!! on the Tutt Jackson stuff which has the younger scraper afraid to meet Sam Langford in another tilt. If Jackson's manager is wise he will stay away from the Langford game. Jackson has a bright future and if properly handled should soon work his way to the front as a first-class drawing card. Many a youngster with a future has had his fond hopes dashed to nothingness by bad management. Jackson should work his way to the top by easy stages, Dempsey worked among the easy marks for a long time and when he decided to take a shot at the tough marks he had plenty of confidence. There is nothing to be gained by fighting the aged and decrepit Sam, but there is danger of a damaging loss of prestige. Langford is blind in one eye, but still has a stiff wallop that he manages to get home now and then and it often scores a win. He can also absorb a world of gaff. It takes a mighty fighter to put the ancient one down for the count, with his foviness and prestige among the referees, etc. That was shown when he managed to stay with Wills some time ago. Young Jackson has been in the habit of facing fellows, who when they fell from one of his blows they remained down. It was not thus with Langford. The ancient Sam probably pulled the stunt for a purpose. It is a little trick that always puts a damper upon the ambitious youngster when he seemingly down an opponent several times but he does not stay down. The veteran scrappers and their managers have bag after bag of tricks for the unsuspecting public and inexperienced boxes; so if Tutt Jackson is wise, he will continue to steer clear of the Tate, Langford and Company game. The best way to tell whether an individual or race is making progress, is to see if they are moving in the "same old rat." RANTEED?
