The School Inquiry Supt. Ballou Tells Congress Committee Members Should Be Appointed by Commissioners. The Congressional investigation of the District of Columbia schools began last Monday with the probability of the investigation now under way going beyond the delay in construction of school buildings. The method of appointing the board of education has never been settled; the various phases of organization in the schools will engage the committee. The committee, headed by Senator Capper, took up the question of building costs first, instructing the engineer commissioner's office to prepare a schedule of comparative building costs of today and before the war.

Ballou advocated the appointment of the board by the commissioners. The commissioner discussed the appointment of the board from the viewpoint of its satisfaction to the people, which, he stated, might be enhanced by changing the method of appointment or the election of the school board. The question for the special joint committee to determine, according to the statement of Senator King, is twofold: First, whether the board of education should be appointed by the commissioners and be responsible to them, or second, whether the board should have sole authority, derived possibly from presidential appointment, over all matters of education, including selection of building sites, and report directly to Congress. "It has been charged that the municipal architect's office has been exceedingly slow," said Senator King, "and this committee is charged with endeavoring to find reason for it." Maj. Brown pointed to the limited appropriation for the Gallinger hospital, which was later doubled, and said the commissioners had the feeling that more delay on that project, might have been advisable in view of high building costs. Senator King then pressed the matter of a combination of building material manufacturers elsewhere and of hardware men here.

Maj. Brown replied that he had no knowledge of the truth of the charge. The cost of lumber, he said, had dropped considerably. Outside bids are expected on Eastern High School, Maj. Brown said. Supt. Ballou made recommendations as follows: Recommendations by Ballou. 1. Appointment of a business manager for the schools. 2. The system, he said, should grow out of the supervising principal system, and replace them with assistant superintendents, several of whom would be placed over elementary schools, and one or two over high schools. 3. Taking of a school census, and more rigid enforcement of a better compulsory attendance law, with a view to determining how many children attend, school and how many attend private schools. The committee adjourned subject to call by Chairman Capper. Two plans are to be carried out by the committee before the next session. The first is to obtain written statements of recommendations from a commissioner, the superintendent and Maj. Brown, who was asked to furnish a schedule of building costs. The second purpose is to visit in person as many schools as possible and obtain first-hand information about conditions. for current expenses—coal, wood, crib mattresses and sheets. Volunteers to assist in the religious work—mothers' meetings, prayer meetings, and plan to make the institution a community recreational center. "THE WASHINGTON BEE." The author, while speeding on a Southbound Baltimore and Ohio train recently, and having in his immediate possession "The Washington Bee," and a book on Natural History—he being fond of all animals—naturally turned to the passage on "The Bee." The following lines are are the result of his musings, and are respectfully dedicated to the late and lamented Founder and Editor, the Honorable W. Calvin Chase; the present editor, her immediate official staff, the family, and every one who has, is or in any way have, or are lending, or intend to lend their assistance to the placing of The Bee upon the exalted plane which has always maintained, and which all indications point toward its ever holding up the flag, thrown to us at the "Last Victory" of her former champion W.

LUTHER MARTIN. TO THE MEMBERS OF TURNER MEMORIAL A. M. E. CHURCH. Fellow Christians and Co-Workers: In the issue of The Bee as of even date, there was a copy of a letter written to a lawyer, and a copy of my resignation. The latter has never reached the pastor nor the Trustee Board. No one is to blame for the publication of the same except the writer. Whatever was the attitude of the writer Sunday night, the time the missives were written; after he saw the lawyer in question Monday afternoon his sentiments changed radically. The lawyer has been more than an adviser to me—he has been as a father to me since I have known him, and I have more confidence in him and respect for him than most any man I ever met. The letter as published was intended for his eyes only, saving for the fact that the writer admires the entire Editorial Staff of The Bee, and he always submits a carbon copy of any document of momentous importance. When he does not want them published he writes on them "not for publication." It was his fullest intention of writing the same on this memoranda, which was only sent for the reasons as stated above. I have no further explanation to make than the following: One can see by having followed the writer's many articles in defense of Turner that the same have required the burning up of quite a deal of energy and to have kept his mind constantly upon the self-same subject night and day. He has hardly slept well since he was made a trustee of Turner, for there was something which he could not understand, and he used every means at his disposal to find out the "why" of certain things. While on his vacation he got in touch with the greatest powers of the A. M. E. Church of America. One of these gentlemen unqualifiedly recommended the lawyer in question as one in whom one could place explicit confidence. It was he and no one else who set us on the right road as to our financial and legal status. After having written night and day to defend Turner, and his nerves almost wrecked, he attended the Mid-Year Conference at Baltimore, as stated in another article of The Bee as of the 22nd. The news received there completely unnerved him. When there was a misunderstanding Sunday night, he felt that his work was done. If one will note in The Bee as of recent date one will note that the writer, in the church news written by his daughter, sent a letter to Turner, advising every one to keep silent on the affairs of Turner. He also stated that he would refrain from printing other articles about Turner until there was something definite to which he could call the attention of the public. At the time this letter and the "Give Me Liberty!! Or Give Me Death!! You will find Liberty at THE LIBERTY DEPARTMENT STORE The building is spick and span with Five (5) Departments of wonderful assortments and values, a Cafeteria and Rest Room. Too much to tell—Come and See. Is it goods you want? Come to the LIBERTY DEPARTMENT STORE. Is it a nice Lunch you want? Come to the LIBERTY DEPARTMENT STORE. THE LIBERTY DEPARTMENT STORE CO., INC. 616 Louisiana Avenue, Northwest Washington, D. C. NOTE—Can be reached by all car lines resignation was written there was a letter sent to the pastor and addressed "1506 15th Street Northwest." This letter was returned, having been wrongly addressed, and is now before me. In it was the original resignation and a personal letter to the pastor stating by reasons for having written the same. The pastor was in entire ignorance that I had written it until today, when the city knew that I had contemplated taking such a step. If I was the editor of The Bee and a church article ended as my article did in the same issue, and then had copies of communications in my hand and no distinguishing marks to state that the same was not for publication, I, too, would have done precisely as they did. The "06" after the "15" is written more than anything else for my address is "No. 1026" a certain street. The "0" and "6" in some way runs in my mind every letter I address, and I write fewer letters marked "not for publication" than I do letters unmarked—and heaven knows that is the absolute truth. Had this one been so marked, it would have seen the light, and that is the reason, and the ONLY reason, it was not withheld. The church out northeastward mentioned in the article was visited by the writer Sunday, and with them the question is forgotten. When the writer needed advice after the letter to the lawyer was written he called on the gentleman for advice. It was suggested that I write a letter to Dr. Watson on the financial affairs of Turner. A letter under date line of October 18th from the secretary is now before me, in which the entire financial status of Turner is given. Everything pertaining to Turner's dealings with the Extension Society is fully explained. If there is any one who takes exception to the publication, the writer trusts that the body of this article is the thought that he alone is responsible, and if he had been a little more careful the incident would not have occurred. He asks in all Christian and manly spirit that the incident be forgotten and the matter closed. Again assuming all the blame, and feeling that "not for publication" will not be overlooked, again I remain yours for manliness and straightforwardness. BILL 1616. Revs. J. Milton Waldron, James S. Pinn and Joseph C. Lee, Miss Sara Jackson and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton were the representatives of our people at the hearing in District committee room, United States Capitol, last Thursday afternoon. Senator Ball presided. Rev. Waldron spoke on the alley housing proposition and made a splendid argument thereon. The speakers of the other race all seemed to put special stress on the fact that nearly all the vice and crime in Washington was among colored people; that Four-and-a-half Street, Maryland Avenue, and Maine Avenue Southwest, was the pivot around which bootleggers, prostitutes and all other bad folks and things turned. Just before adjournment a number of white women, representing organizations, but of course did not take part in the proceedings, asked to be recorded as being in hearty cooperation with both of the bills and willing to serve in any way to help out. A minute before closing Mrs. J. M. Layton arose and pledged the cooperation of the National League of Republican Women's Forums, of which she is president, and the District Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which she represented also as community secretary, said: "Senator, all the prostitutes do not swing around Maryland Avenue and Four-and-a-half Street—but around all corners of Washington and they are not all colored women either. To my deep regret we have such among both races. You can find them on Connecticut Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, F Street, You Street, Seventh Street, Fourteenth Street, where." She spoke of her work among the soldiers of the hospitals since 1918 and knows considerable. HOLD JOINT ANNIVERSARIES Last Monday night Mount Olive Baptist Church, Arlington, Va., celebrated its Forty-sixth Anniversary as a church and the Seventh Anniversary of the pastor, Rev. Joseph Lee. Many of the leading Baptist pastors of Washington and Virginia were present and took part in the program. Mrs. Julia M. Layton represented the women, and paid a glowing tribute to the pastor, whom she had known for many years, and helped him when he started out with a little mission at the mouth of O Street alley in Washington, D. C. A feast was served at the close of the program. Sandwiches, salads, cocoa, cream, cake and fruit. Tuesday night Mrs. Layton was with Rev. J. I. Loving, St. John's Baptist Church, Arlington, Va., which was celebrating its eighteenth anniversary and third anniversary of the pastor. This was Sunday School night. Splendid choir, choice music, well prepared program. TOOSAYNTE LEE OVACHOO BROWN. "Toosaynte's" Dreams Come True in "Romeo and Juliet." That last infirmity of noble mind, the desire for fame, had let Toussaint rest a while. For a month after his precipitate flight from the office of the "National Prospect" he had led a quiet life, running his elevator by day and strolling on Lenox Avenue at night. He might have gone on that way for a year; but the noise of the Shakespearean Tercentenary celebration reached his ears, and he knew no rest. One of the fifty-seven ambitions of Toussaint's life was to be an actor. He did not care what kind of actor so long as he could be known as a star, with his picture in the Harlem Diameter. He dreamed of himself looking through the golden haze of the footlights, his form and features brought out in handsome relief, bowing to stormy applause. He was ignorant of the troubles of actors, the starvation wages for beginners, the tedious rehearsals without pay, the long periods of unemployment, the disheartening frequency of failures, and the long, slow pull up the hill to fame. All he could see was the glory, the moments of applause. And now that the whole world was agog about this man Shakespeare, whoever he was, Toussaint again caught the stage fever, and, being a young man of action, he immediately joined the Harlem Shakespeare Society. Now, any society that allowed Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown to join it was in for a change. The Harlem Shakespeare Society was made up of well meaning colored folks of various nationalities and scanty education, who met every week to discuss the great bard's plays. When Toussaint joined them they were in the middle of "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream," an airy fantasy which did not appeal to Toussaint, especially as he was always called upon to read the lines spoken by Bottom the Ass. Besides, Toussaint's idea of a great play was a welter of battle, murder, and more or less sudden death. Going over all the plays, he favored "Richard the Third," with its parade of ghosts and numerous assassinations, but when he suggested it for study the female half of the society objected stridently. Always gallant to the ladies, Toussaint then propose "Romeo and Juliet." It was full of love, he said, "de rule, fiery shoofn sumpin'-doin' love," and with a rush the ladies voted to take it up. "Dis is de life!" said Toussaint a week later. He was studying hard, though clumsily. Every night he labored on the play, for he had no lesser ambition than to learn it all by heart. It was a real tribute to Shakespeare's greatness that an ignorant boy like Toussaint, who misread most of the lines and half their meaning, should be so caught up and whirled along in the fiery surge of him who wrote for all times and all men. Toussaint lived with Romeo and Juliet day and night till he knew the speeches word for word. Then he grew dissatisfied, as usual; he wanted a bigger field. It seemed a shame that a man of his education should waste his time reading. should "mistah Macklin," he said one night to the president of the society, "it's all raight to read dem lines an' plays—fo' a while. Dat mout be enough fo' some peoples, but Toosaynte. Lee Ovahchoo. Brown wants to act 'em out." "Act 'em out?" asked the president, who was a druggist with a Barbadian accent. "Yes, raight on de stage, lak dey wuz meant to be. I kin go befo' a audience raight now an' roll off dat Romeo talk same as Romeo hissef 'thouen a minute's notice." "Well," said Macklin cautiously, "you know all the words, and that's very necess'ry, and you're a self-confid- "Cose I is," broke in Toussaint. "I knows whut Toosaynte Lee Ovachoo Brown kin do wid Shakespeare, an' all de peoples 'll know ef I evah gits a chanst at 'em." "Well, I hope you get it," sair Macklin, smiling, "but, of course, our treas'ry's in no condi-she-on to take on a play." A few nights later things began to happen as they happened to nobody but Toussaint. The Harlem Shakespeare Society, met early, for they were to go to the Sheba Theatre in a body. The Sheba was the comedy theatre of Harlem and the highbrows called it the low-comedy roost, with clowns for actors and clowns for an audience; but in consideration for the poet or the 'fashion the management had included in its program a scene from Shakespeare every night for a week. For this particular night an act from Romeo and Juliet was on the bill, and the proprietor of the Sheba had honored the Harlem Shakespeareans with complimentary tickets. It was 8 o'clock and Macklin, the president, was giving the society a final explanation of the play, obstreperously aided by Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown. He was about to end his speech when the door burst open an excited little man rushed into the room. "This the Harlem Shakespeareans?" he asked without ceremony. we asked "Yes, sir," said Macklin with dignity, "and I am Mr. Macklin, the president." "Good," said the little man impatiently. "I'm Charles Glenn, manager of the Sheba, running Romeo and Juliet tonight—just got telephone from Sam Creighton, Romeo—sick in hospital—ptomaine—can't get anybody else on short notice and can't disappoint audience 'cause we've advertised it so much. I'm nearly crazy, grabbin' at straws—got anybody? Little man that can wear Creighton's costume—act Romeo?" "We suit'tny has!" barked a voice from the rear of the room, and Toussaint came bounding up the aisle. The Sheba manager darted with his eyes up and down Toussaint's frame. "About Creighton's size—know the lings?" "Know 'em bettah dan Romeo hissef," said the modest Toussaint. "Huh, you don't hate yourself, but that'll help you? Name? Brown? Gimme Romeo in the balcony scene." "But soft, whit light fum yondah windah breaks? It is de eas' an Juliet is de sun. A-rise, fair sun——" "Yes, yes," said Glenn. "Gimme 'pothcary scene." Toussaint complied and for fifteen minutes Glenn put him through a rapid-fire examination. "Course you can't act but——" "Who caint act?" said Toussaint, belligerent. "You lead me to 'em, dat's all, jes lead me to 'em." Glenn fairly snatched Toussaint from the room, and in a second they were on the street with the whole society at their heels. Toussaint could hardly realize his sudden sweeping off to glory. He walked in a dream, he hardly knew what Glenn was saying. By the time they reached the Avenue, however, the cool night air had brought back his senses. The Sheba, thousand-lighted field of fame, was before him, and his racing-imagination shook off the bridle. Shouts of applause, volleys of flowers, ladies weeping at his power, his face and name in the Diameter—all flitted before him as he hurried up a dark alley after Glenn and followed him past a burly doorkeeper into a corridor. Pacing up and down this corridor with a manuscript in one hand and a wine glass in the other was a big-boned, beetle-browed young woman with a brick-brown complexion, full, snoouldering eyes, and a generally combative aspect. conductive "Got 'im, Miss DeLannel" cried Glenn. "We can go on with it now." "Got who?" asked the young wom- in in a husky growl. an in a hussy a guy "Romeo," said Glenn. "From the Harlem Shakespearean, to take Creighton's place. Miss DeLanne, Mr. Brown. Miss DeLanne is our Juliet." junet. "Ise yeerd o' Miss'Romietta Deanne befo," said Toussaint, "bowing gallantly. "Huh," said the Juliet somberly. "You Romeo?" Toussaint wished he had a more amiable Juliet to play to. This big, man-sized woman looked as if she could break him in two. It was evident that she had quite a temper, and a suspicious odor filled the air whenever she spoke. Toussaint had expected to meet a fragile, lily-like girl with a violin voice. But such are disillusionments of life—and the theatre. Glenn left him no time for reflection but hustled him into a cupboard-size room and told him to change his clothes. Then Glenn went out and shut the door, just as the step of Romietta sounded in the corridor. "For God's sake, Etta," he heard Glenn say, "lay off that girl You know it always sets you crazy." "My Gawdl" gasped Toussaint, his disillusionment completed. "Do she drink gin, too?" (Concluded Next Week.) Howard University overwhelmed the eleven of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institutes, 26 to-0, in the foot ball game on Howard athletic field, Saturday, October 22. The Virginians were big, husky players, who probably outweighed the Howard boys slightly but their expected offensive did not materialize. Neither team was able to score in the first quarter. Both showed power- ful offensive work, and although the Virginians line appeared quite strong on the attack its drive was not quite strong enough. When the "Blue and White" finally broke through the visitors' defenses, they smothered them under the two touchdowns which were credited to them so quickly in the second quarter that the Virginia boys were fairly amazed. The further the game went the more pronounced became Howard's superiority. During practically the entire second half, Howard kept the ball in its possession, but the Virginians held well when their goal was threatened. Four times the visitors held the "Blue and White" eleven off after they had pushed them up to their 5-yard line. Once when the Virginians held Howard for downs on their 5-yard line and upon the attempt to kick out, Howard blocked the ball and recovered it for a touchdown. Howard broke through three times and blocked the Virginians kick outs. For the visitors, the work of Captain Spratley, right half back, was good, and the punting of Full Back Dykes was a conspicuous feature. Howard had the forward passing game down fine, and made two touchdowns as a direct result of two tosses, one of which netted about 25 yards. For the third time this season, the Howard machine emerged not only victorious but unscored upon. The line up: Howard—Nurse, r. e.; Brooks, r. t; Melton, r. g.; Holton, c.; Smith l. g.; Fuller (capt.), l. t; Williams, l. e.; Doneghy, l. h.; Payne, f. b.; Kean, q. b.; Molson, r. h.

Hampton, Va., October 25.—Although Hampton and Shaw began playing football in 1907, Hampton played its first game in the League Park at Raleigh on Friday. October 21, 1921. Under clear skies and with weather made to order, the two teams battled for three quarters without either side being able to score. The Shawites entered the game with considerable confidence, as they defeated Hampton last season, 13 to 0. Hampton had two chances to score and Shaw one chance in the three periods. The defensive work of both teams was effective. Poor generalship and a penalty for Hampton aided Shaw, but she could not score. The punting for both teams was only fair. Chamberlin for Hampton and Young for Shaw received and advanced kicks well. Dabney of Hampton at center played in old-time form, while Ligon at full for Shaw played stellar ball. The last quarter was sensational. It opened with both teams trying to score. Hampton appeared to be getting the advantage until Williams of Shaw made a dash of 75 yards around Hampton's left end for a touchdown. His interference was perfect, taking every Hampton man out of the play. The goal was missed. The Shaw rooters were wild with joy. As there were only eleven minutes remaining to play, victory seemed certain. Hampton received the kick-off. In the next four minutes of play they planted the pigskin behind their goal line without losing it once. Goal was kicked and the score stood 7 to 6 in Hampton's favor. Both teams displayed some of the old-time fighting spirit that has made their schools famous. The game was one of the cleanest and hardest fought ever witnessed in Raleigh. The sportsmanship exhibited added much to the pleasure of the spectators. The following is the line-cp: Hampton—Watley, left end; Coleman, J. B. (Captain), left tackle; Wilson-Shumate, left guard; Dabney, center; T. J. Coleman, right guard; T. T. Coleman, right tackle; Mann, right end; Irwin, right half; Hardwick, left half; Saunders, full back; Chamberlin, quarter back. Shaw—Chambers, left end; Crump, left tackle; Hornsley, left guard; Johnson, center; Pickford, right guard; Crawford (Captain), right tackle; Stewart, right end; Mallory, right half; Williams, left half; Ligon, full back; Young, quarter back.

Pictures and Data of Lecture Can Be Had for Other Schools—Dunbar to Start New Activities. Those who attended the Miner Normal Community Center Friday night of last week were, treated to a very instructive illustrated lecture, "The Cave Man," given by Prof. Mehrman of the Bureau of Education The affair was extremely interesting, contained many points of value and bore every mark of a careful research search. The pictures and data used by Mr. Mehrman were taken under the direction of Miss Randolph, a member of the editorial staff of the Korea Journal. This lecture is available for other schools and groups. *** Among activities to begin November 1 at the Dunbar will be china painting, and supervised study classes. Misses Annie Payne and Hallie Brown will be in charge. These courses have special educational advantages. Children who are held back and join make up their deficiencies and are allowed to proceed. Last year twenty-two enrolled, and all made the grade. Piano lessons, organdie flower making, ecclesiastical embroidery and free French classes are other units to be established. There will be a separate French class for children, and a small fee exacted. This class will be under the tutorship of a well known governess, who has seen considerable experience in London among notable families.

KLAN TRIES TO INTIMIDATE AN HONORABLE TEXAS OFFICIAL. (Special to The See.) Beaumont, Texas, October 25—Because he was too active in opposing the Ku Klux Klan, particularly the tarring and feathering of a white woman, presumably by that organization, a former constable at Tenaha, Texas, near here, received through the mails a drawing showing a man dangling at the end of a rope. Attached was a warning which read: "All such leave town." The letter has been turned over to the post office authorities. ENGLISH TO FORM ANTI- COMMITTEE LYNCHING COMMITTEE. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 75 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced news of the impending organization of a committee of leading Englishmen to consider the question of lynching in the United States.

Wells, who is coming to America to attend the Disarmament Conference; Harold J. Laski, lecturer at the London School of Economics; C. P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian, the Right Hon. J. H. Clynes, leader in Parliament of the Labor Party and John H. Harris, of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society. JOHN T.

KU KLUX KLAN TERRORIZES RACE CITIZENS OF NOR- FOLK, VA. (Special to The Bee.) Norfolk, Va., October 25—(By A. N. P.)—Despite police assurance that they would be protected, colored people who left Bruces Park Friday night after warnings supposed to have been sent by the Ku Klux Klan that their homes would be burned, refused to spend another night under their own roofs. The police succeeded in returning some of the refugees to their homes, but later that night they again became panic stricken and fled. The police say 500 are homeless.

The Sunday school and church were well attended. The superintendent. Mr. Sewall, conducting the same. Three new members joined the school. The pastor preached the sermon at the morning services. At the afternoon service Rev. A. D. Holder, pastor at Ward's, Bennings, and his excellent choir, held the service. The doctor's subject was "Our Relationship," and with his fine scholarly gestures, beautiful intonations, and lofty rhetoric, bore us all aloft on the pinnons of oratory; the following is why he can do it—he came from Cape Haitien, Republic of Haiti, 1891. The Missionary Training Institute of Brooklyn, N. Y., sent him to New Jersey to take up English. He studied at Morgan College of Theology, and afterward became an itierian elder in the A. M. E. Church, 1900. After having done noble work in Canada, he went to Port au Prince, Haiti, as superintendent of missions of the A. M. E. Church. While there he translated into French, the discipline and cathecism of the Church of Allen. One can see by this that his bearing is of the scholarly order. Brother J. J. Hawkins of Wards, prayed a fervent, opening prayer and with the writer lifted a fine collection. The choir under the direction of Prof. Richard R. Queen, accompanied by Mrs. Rachel Crampton, the organist, rendered some most soul-inspiring and excellent music. The sopranos, were Mesdames R. L. Queen and L. Hawkins; altos, Misses D. Campbell, M. Kenney, and Mrs. Ayres; tenors, Capt. H. D. Queen, Messrs. William Crampton, D. Holder, L. Holder; bass, Mr. Enoch Ayres. All the numbers of the choir were exceptionally well rendered, but the writer liked best, the anthem, "I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me." The choir is coming in soon to give the writer a recital, assisted by the best local talent. Quite a few of the members of Wards, aside from other visitors graced the meeting with their presence. The Allen League was led by Rev. F. R. Turner, Jr., of At. Paul's A. M. E. Church. A goodly time was had by all present. The grand mass meeting of the pastors and members of the Potomac District, Baltimore Conference, which will be held at Turner Sunday afternoon, the 30th. This day has been set apart by the district conference to raise $1,000 toward paying on the debt of the church which will accomplish the desired result. At 3:30 p. m. sermon by Rev. O. E. Jones, D. D., of Brown Memorial A. M. E. Church; singing by his choir assisted by the following brethren and their congregations: Rev. C. M. Tanner, Rev. J. N. Waters, Rev. P. J. Jordan, Rev. A. A. Murray, Rev. A. D. Holder, Rev. Mack B. Simpson, Rev. Charles E. Waldron, Rev. J. W. Bowie, Rev. J. D. Banks, Rev. Walter Murray, Rev. J. A. Dames, Rev. U. S. Edwards, Rev. G. A. Hawkins, Rev. Charles Wesley, Rev. W. H. Monokoo, Rev. Charles B. Bailey, Rev. M W. Travers, Rev. G. W. Nicholas Rev. E. Q. Plummer, and Rev. J. W Armstrong. Remarks by Dr. B. F. Watson, Church Extension Secretary. Rev. J. A. Briscoe, D. D., P. E., master of ceremonies; Rev. J. C. McEaddy, pastor; Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., Bishop. Rev. I. N. Ross, D. D., Resident Bishop, is expected to be present. Turner will be an A. M. E. Church as long as the world rolls around, and everyone down there has taken fresh courage for there is a thorough understanding and all of us will strive to do our best. Aside from the other friends, the writer begs leave to pay special thanks to Lawyer Stewart who has set us right. May Turner live and at the annual conference in 1922, show up as one of the leading churches of the Baltimore conference! And to this all of us say, "So be it."

If a tight-rope walker becomes a doubting Thomas and loses his nerve in the middle of a performance, the results are very disastrous. Tow often have we been present at an amateur performance consisting of playing, singing, acting or in fact anything which requires self-control and poise, and how often have we come away, saying to ourselves—or listening to others says it—"If I could not do better than that I would not try." The very performers who are said to show "great talent," in the studio, are often the most susceptible to nervousness, and "go to pieces" before an audience. Generally, the cause of their failure is a total lack of self-confidence, which is a quality that requires training, just as much as memory or concentration, or any other mental quality. Not long ago, a student was to play at a recital given by their music teacher (which is always considered an ordeal by the average pupil, on account of nervousness). She knew her piece, and on former occasions her memory proved reliable. On the way to the school she met a friend, who, in great excitement, exclaimed: "My aren't you nervous? I should think you would be scared to death! Suppose you should forget your piece, what would you do then? Why, I would not play without my notes before all those people for anything. Oh, dear me, I should think you would be nervous." This little speech, although delivered with no evil intention, was nevertheless very discouraging, and the result was that for the first time in her life the girl doubted. herself, lost her nerve, forgot her piece, and gave miserably nervous performance, which no one could enjoy, and which could have been so easily avoided. Never approach a performance with the thought "Suppose I should forget." Never for an instant doubt yourself. Instead, say to yourself, "I am going to play well, because I know my piece well, and I know that I know it well, so how can I make a mistake? I am not nervous, so my fingers cannot run away. My memory cannot fail me, so I will not play wrong notes." And the audience cannot disturb me, so what is there to fear? Therefore, I will play well." And you will. This plan has saved a great many from failure, and it can save a great many more. Try it, and you will believe in it firmly. "TULSA—HOW OUR HEARTS BLEED FOR THEE!" Affectionately dedicated to those who are suffering from "The Destruction of Tulsa." Heroes and Heroes all. To every one who lost his or her all, through the covetness of those who deliberately killed many to get their property and oil holdings; destroyed $5,000,000 worth of property, and made 30,000 people homeless. Through Mrs. Willie A. Jones, Tulsa, Oklahoma. (This song can be sung to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne.") The richest city in the world, Was in Oklahoma! Her lands, gave forth the fumes of oil, They came like Hunnish fiends aroused. With murder in their hearts; Backed by police and militia, They threw their fiery darts! They burned thy homes and killed our kind, With Hunnish, frightful glee, And thou art mourning—dear Tulsa— How Our Hearts Bleed for Thee! When flames were sweeping Heaven- ward, Sacked a department store! Women and children were shot down. In "this land of the free." We extend sympathy, Tulsa— How Our Hearts Bleed for Thee! The colored people all are moved Far from their former homes, And trenches all the night were dug. To hide their charred, burnt bones! Some of these "Boys" had been to France. How Our Hearts Bleed for Thee! Beltshazzar and Alexander, Caesar—Napoleon, All were dethroned and basely died And lost all they had won! Belgium cut off our people's hands, In Africa—Doth see? But Germany, sir, paid her back— Tulsa—we pray for thee! For two hundred and fifty years, The South traded in slaves! The overseers beat them with whips, Also with rods and staves! But God in His wise Providence, In eighteen sixty-three, Broke slavery's chain—think—think— Tulsa— Oh, How Our Hearts Bleed for Thee! The old Bourbons of the Southland, Had to give up or fight; They lost their "cause"—the reason was They opposed all that's Right! They died like flies for all their crimes, And had to set us free, "Revenge is sweet"—hear that Tulsa? Oh! How Our Hearts Bleed for Thee! It is a fact that every time The white fiends shed our blood, The land's made sad by earthquake, Tornado, cyclone—flood! Look at Pueblo, Colorado! Think of her misery! Yes! "God still lives,"—brace up, Tulsa— How Our Hearts Pray for Thee! Some day this land must go to war! Deny this fact, who can! England is helping hard to arm The little isle—Japan! Then all the whites will pat our backs And love us most dearly. We are "fed up" on "your land" stuff— What is Democracy? She'll pay thy score—fret not thyself; For God Who Rules on High, Said "vengeance is mine—I will re- pay"— He cannot fail nor lie! He'll guard His own, as heretofore, He'll set the oppressed-free, Cheer up! Oh! Bleeding, Loved Tulsa— Oh! How Our Hearts Bleed for Thee Some day the strife wilt all be o'er, And thou wilt then be blessed, In Heaven above, with Him who said, "Come! I'll give thee rest!" Look up to God—bleeding Tulsa— He'll heal thy misery, "On Canaan's Hapy Shore"—Tulsa— We'll e'er rejoice with thee! Rev. J. Luther Martin, 1026 Kenyon Street Northwest, Washington, D. C.

They are a fine body of singers. Capt. John W. Dabney, the father of Ford Dabney, was the happiest man in town the night his son conducted his orchestra from New York at Convention Hall. When only a school boy in the Washington public schools, Capt. Dabney placed young Ford under the best instructor in the city, Prof. Doach. The lessons at that time were costly. As a pianist and conductor Ford Dabney is at the top notch. It is reported that Ford will not return to the Ziegfeld Circuit this season, preferring to take in the different states concerting. Carroll Boyd, musical director at the Dunbar Theatre, has just returned from a visit to New York City. Prof. Boyd brought back many musical compositions from the different publishers of Gotham. His clever piano playing at the Dunbar is causing much favorable comment throughout the theatrical circuit. He reports the "Shuffle Along" Show, now playing its third month's stay in New York City, as the biggest hit at any of the theaters in New York. They have several Washingtonians playing in the orchestra, namely, Felix Weir, who taught music in the public schools here; William Carroll, former leader of the Howard Theatre Orchestra, and H. Jeter, the cello player. It is expected "Shuffle Along" will be produced abroad. Manager Harry E. Simms announces an Armistice and Disarmament Musical Festival to be given at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church for the evening of November 15th. The soloists are Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, baritone, and W. Calvin Chase, Jr., cornetist. Besides these there will be musical numbers by the famous old Metropolitan Choir of fifty voices, and the Odd Fellows' Concert Band.

It is most centrally located at the corner of Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue Northwest, near three car lines. While used mainly for club and recreation purposes, it has 43 dormitory rooms, which rent from $2 to $5 a week, accommodating 46 women, who are employed in various vocations. Four are teachers, three seam-tresses, ten government department and clerical workers, seventeen in private service and nine students. It is difficult for a woman to secure rooms in Washington. Few homes will take a working woman in and a colored woman finds almost all doors closed to her. The Phyllis Wheatley offers to the colored girl a beautiful, safe home, rooms well furnished, clean and sanitary. Thursday last was the membership social night. Were you there? If not, you missed it.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association, through its American headquarters, 56 West One hundred and thirty-fifth Street, New York City, today made public the following statement of Hon. Marcus Garvey, managing editor of the Negro World, same being an answer to one Cyril V. Briggs, editor of a New York magazine. Mr. Garvey says: "Cyril Briggs, editor of the Crusader, a small monthly magazine, published in New York, who subscribes himself as executive head of the African Blood Brotherhood, for over a year has been trying to gain notoriety at my expense by attacking me and corporations I represent. "Recently he sent copies of his magazine and circulars to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in different parts of the country, attacking me. I took no notice of him for months but three weeks ago the 'Negro World' carried an announcement that Briggs was a white man and being used to intercept the success of my organizations, upon which statement Briggs caused to be issued a summons for my appearance in court for criminal libel. Those trying the case seized upon it as a splendid opportunity at getting back at me for my uncompromising stand for the Negro. So what promises to become one of the most interesting cases in the history of the country will soon be pulled og. "I hold that Briggs is a white man. Brigg's mother who gave testimony for him, states that she is a colored woman and that she lived with a white man in St. Kitts, British West Indies, but she was not married and that Briggs is an offspring born in St. Kitts. Briggs bears his mother's name. The judge claims that one drop of black blood makes a colored American, and therefore, holds that Briggs is a colored American and not a white man in argument between us. "I submit that 'white man' is not a proper terminology, such as colored American, but that 'Caucasian' is. Briggs being white in color, is a white man even if one drop of black blood makes him a colored American. I hold, therefore, that Briggs is a white Negro and the case promises to be an interesting one in deciding the issue."

THE AGE OF SEVENTY-FIVE CENTIMETER. Today is the age of seventy-five centimeter energy everybody is getting ready to get there. Some time in the history of the world each race has had its entrance and given a chance to play its part on the stage of life, has received applause or grunts and then finally its exit: The man who will win is not the cringing, whinning, begging sort always asking for sympathy, that man is to be shunned; he is a carrier and breeder of a disease even the stench of which is depressing and, contact with it for any length of time is fatal. If you have health, strength and a clean record and a good character you have been favored by God and possess the greatest of His gifts and, in return for that favor he expects you to extend yourself. Walk with head erect (don't look down) feet treading firmly upon the ground on which you walk as though you owned that particular space and, verily I say unto you that you do own that ground on which you stand until you move off of it. Paleontology has established the fact that, the primitive man showed far more skill in despicing animals than in drawing human beings. This seems to be a phase of a still more general and puzzling fact; civilized man often shows more interest in and sympathy with the brute creation than with humanity. The suffering of frogs in a physiological laboratory excites more interest than the agony of working girls in a sweat shop. The imagining torturing of dogs in laboratories arouses more humane activity than the torturing of men in prisons. A man can, go up or down in life as he chooses, color has nothing to do with it, although it may surfacely appear to be so, make the opportunity and then fit in. It probably is true that humanity cries out for one and reprobates the other, but I would inspirit the minds of those who are about to give up, and right here I want to tell a short story that will illustrate admirably: A milk can filled with fresh milk was placed on the front steps of a country house with the top left off. A short time later two frogs accidentally hopped in and immediately found that they would drown unless something happened. Frog No.1 said I give up, I can't stand, it any longer and sank. Frog No.2 said I am going to hold on a little longer and he kicked and kicked and kicked and when the milk man came around the next morning he found Frog No.2 comfortably safe on the top of rich butter. The highest individual conduct is manifested when reason controls personal action, and the greatest good comes to a people when the brainiest and best men control the state; a sound heart' and a --- NEGRO EDITOR CALLED WHITE SUES. The charge of criminal libel brought by Cyrill Briggs, editor of The Crusader, against Marcus Garvey, president-general of the U. N. I. A., was sustained by Justice Renaud in the Twelfth District Magistrates' Court, New York, on Thursday, October 20, and counsel ordered to prepare briefs for a final hearing on October 31 at the Fourth District Court to decide whether it is a case for the grand jury. Marcus Garvey was represented by Attorney Wilfred Smith, counsel for the Black Star Line. The case for Briggs, the complainant, was efficiently handled by Assistant District Attorney Lynch. Editor Briggs, who is also executive head of the African Blood Brotherhood, and a former editor of The Amsterdam News, took sharp exception to a statement in Garvey's paper, The Negro World, to the effect that he was a white man passing for a colored one. Directly after Briggs' action was sustained, Garvey made a complaint against Briggs charging the latter with having committed criminal libel against him in the October Crusader, citing as evidence an article claiming that Garvey had lost money in "escrow," because he knows so little of how to go about putting money in "escrow," and an editorial demanding that he abandon his announced plans to go to Europe and that he remain in the United States at "this critical period in those enterprises," of which Mr. Garvey is head. Justice Renaud said he saw nothing criminal in the "escrow" article and in referring to the editorial demanding that Garvey stay in the United States asked Garvey whether he did not himself think that he should stay in the United States just now, inquiring if it was true that the Black Star Line was in financial difficulties and bringing out the admission that the line had only one steamship in operation and that for the last six months in a Cuban port. Garvey also presented a letter from Briggs claiming that in it Briggs had invited him to "co-operate with him in overthrowing governments." The judge failed to see any such meaning in the letter, and; after asking Garvey if he had any other evidence, threw out his complaint against Briggs.

Peace with yourself, peace with your neighbor and prosperity for both, for civilization is the altruistic fruition of the ages and rests upon man's unselfish service to man.

Dr. Alphonzo J. Harris. REPORTER "He let's me do all de wuk," he mumbled, "an' den he hogs all de credick." The outer door was thrown suddenly open, and Toussaint felt his legs shrivel. A tall dark man and a stout dark woman came in, ominously quiet. The man was Reverend Absalom Jackson, High Worshipful True Lighter, and the woman was the Worshipful Miriam. "I want to see Mr. Johnson," said the High Worshipful, and anticipated Miss Ramsey's reply with: "We can wait." They sat down, the man stern and purposeful, the woman batting her eyes angrily round the office. Toussaint felt his hair crinkle as their eyes fell upon him, but they did not know him, as he had been only one of several hundreds on the picnic. Besides, their thoughts were occupied by Washington Johnson, whose voice now rumbled behind the partition as he read choice parts of the article. A threefold peal of laughter shook the room. "Johnson, you're a casel" cried one of the lawyers. "Well, gentlemen," came Johnson's voice, proudly, "we've got to protect the regular churches from these disreputable organizations, and these True Lighters are the worst of all. I was just watching for a chance to show them up, so when this picnic came off I wouldn't leave the job to anybody else. I just took my pen in hand and did up the article myself." "And a great job it is," said one of his visitors. "When I first read it I said the man who wrote that article could make his fortune with the big magazines. Well, good-bye, I'll see you again." The two lawyers came out and departed unaware of the resentful looks cast at them by the Worshipfuls. Johnson called Miss Ramsey in and Toussaint had no opportunity to tell her who the visitors were. In a few minutes Miss Ramsey came out and said: "Mr. Johnson will see you now." The True Lighters passed grimly into the sanctum and shut the door. For a moment there was no sound but the shrill of Johnson's pen, writing rapidly. Unless his visitors were very important he kept them waiting that way. "Well, what can I do for you?" he asked finally. "Whut kin you dol!" snapped the Worshipful Miriam. "Whut ain't you already done did?" "I don't follow you——" "You will follow, or we'll follow you," said the High Worshipful Absalom. "I am the High Worshipful Master of the True Light." "An' Ise de Worshipful Miriam." "Sir, you have held us up to ridicule," thundered the Reverend Absalom, "with a pack of dirty, filthy lies, you—" "But wait," began Johnson, "I didn't—" "Yes, you did—you did!" cried the Miriam. "Didn't we just set out dar an' hyuh you tell dem men dat you done wroten dat ar-tickle yo'sef an' youse gwine sho us up? Didn't we—" "Yes, we heard it!" thundered the Worshipful Absalom. "We heard it, and that ain't all—" "Now, now," said Johnson, "we needn't have a scene here. The police—" "Call yo' p'leece!" cried the Miriam. "You ain't gwine need de p'leece, you gwine need de coroner. You dirty—w-o-wl Yee-owl!" As she uttered this battle cry the Miriam launched herself upon Washington Johnson. "I'll tak yo' eyes out, you dirty liah!" she howled as Johnson tried to shake her off. "Hold him, sistah, hold him!" cried the Worshipful Absalom, whirling his cane.

BROWN MEMORIAL A. M. E. CHURCH NEWS. The writer called upon the pastor, Rev. Dr. O. E. Jones, Sunday morning and the business matter was adjusted in ten minutes' time. Thank you, Doctor, for your courtesy and kindness. The Sunday school was well attended and the closing music—all that the writer heard—was well rendered. Great work is being accomplished by the school. The morning service was a glorious religious feast. Brother M. J. Key, a student at Howard University and district superintendent of the Sunday school, of the Potomac district, very nicely opened the service. The morning's prayer --- A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. DEPARTMENTS ALREAANY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA was offered by the writer. Miss Mary E. Johnson, the organist threw her force into the organ and with such goodly assistance the choir simply "Made the Welken ring." Madam J. A. Brawner, the chorister was unavoidably detained; she was missed yet with the write we just simply "carried on," with "The Awakening Chorus." In their vestments the choir made a beautiful appearance. Rev. Edward, who came later, is one of the most energetic men in the Baltimore Conference, under whom the church which he is pastoring is going steadily to the front. The pastor preached an excellent sermon, his text being from 1 John, 1,7, last clause, "The Blood of Jesus Christ His Son, Cleanseth Us From All Sin." He asked this question: "Have you had new birth?" The pastor then plunged into the argument, which was a masterpiece of logic. When speaking of the "Golden Gate," California, he said when he saw it, it only looked like a smooth body of water to him. The "salt" at his side, told him that that was the most treacherous body of water on the globe, and that no ship could come in under its own captain—a pilot who knows the way brings in all the ships, then he quoted "Jesus Savior Pilot Me." Brown's under the pastorate of Dr. Jones, is marching steadily onward and why not? Jesus leads the way and the doctor follows holding up the "Banner of the Cross" and the church follows with hearts aglow and voices sweetly singing. The writer rendered "Mother's Religion" and the audience which has been trained to sing joined in the chorus of "The Old Time Religion." If all churches would indulge in more congregational singing it would help them to be more spiritual. This is in nowise a criticism of them for they are doing exceedingly well, but sometimes the people just want to open their voices in song to the praises of Almighty God "The Tents of Jerusalem," a secret order, was sermonized by the pastor in the afternoon. The writer being at Turner at that hour could not get the details. He learns, however, that the church was crowded and that the pastor simply "turned himself loose." At night "The Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem" had their annual sermon preached to them by the pastor. The church was crowded and the choir simply did "break lose into singing." The daughters were about the most representative set of women of the race that the writer has seen for sometime. They not only represented intellect, culture and refinement but they represented motherhood, the home, the church, and all things which tend for the betterment of the world. The pastor's theme was "Ruth-and Naomi." The exact name of the order is "Queen. Elizabeth Court No. 6, A. O. D. of J." consisting of over 80 members. The officers are as follows: Sisters Maggie Lee, Laura Green, Snowden, Mary Chew, Jennie Hughes, Mary Posey, Mary E. Johnson, Emma Lee Kuns, Lewis, Watkins and Madden and Brother Landis Perry.

A most delightful day was spent at Bellada Academy, Buena Vista, on last Saturday by a few friends of the school, when it had its informal opening.

FIRST, ASSERTS SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT. P. S. A. L. Officials Meet in Joint Conference—School Principals Express Views—Assistant Superintendent Promises Support. Graded school principals from the tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth divisions of the Washington public schools, together with officials of the Public School Athletic League, met in the library of the Dunbar High School Monday afternoon to go over and formulate whatever plans are necessary for the revival of school athletics that in the last couple of years or more had been unavoidably placed upon the retired list. Mr. Eugene Clark, head of the Miner Normal, and also president of the league, presided, and after a few preliminary remarks introduced Mr. Henderson, supervisor of the various activities, who went carefully over the grounds, showing why the league had deteriorated, and some probable remedies, if put into operation, might bring about new life and put the league on its feet again. Several of the public school principals spoke and were in perfect accord with the new movement. Mr. J. C. Bruce, supervising principal of the thirteenth division, and treasurer of the league, rendered a statement concerning its financial condition. An announcement was then made that Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, was present, and would address the meeting. The superintendent gave an unusually spirited talk, dwelling upon the physical welfare of the child, deeply deploring the seemly apparent neglect along those lines. He favored the idea of joint cooperation of the different school departments to render what aid they could, providing there was no interference with the regular work. The superintendent reiterated what he had said on former occasions that the child was the sole consideration and that public schools must be so conducted as to conform to its needs. "I say without any reservation," he declared, "yes-am willing to go on record that the physical fitness of the child comes first." PORO COLLEGE Mr. Aaron E. Malone Convalescent.
