BALLOU'S RECOMMENDATION All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I NO. 2 Paren I. T SUPT. BRUCE'S FOR LEAVE O SCHOOL BO BALLOU'S RE GARNETT C. WILKERSON APPOINTED TO FILL VACANCY The petition of Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of public schools, asking for an indefinite leave of absence without pay, beginning September 1, was granted at the adjourned session of the school board Thursday noon. Prof. Garnet C. Wilkerson, principal of Dunbar High School was appointed by the board as the successor to Prof. Bruce. The petition follows: "I have the honor to request leave of absence from my position as assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools for an indefinite period beginning September 1, 1921. During the term of such leave, if I should desire to engage in any other gainful occupation, I request permission of the board of education to do so. In any case, let me say, it is my purpose to enter upon certain inquiries within the field of educational administration." Conditions of Leave The leave of absence was granted to Mr. Bruce on the following conditions: That it be without pay. That Mr. Bruce be permitted to engage in gainful occupation while on leave of absence. That Mr. Bruce's reappointment to service following this leave of absence shall be in accordance with rule one of the board of education, and section two of the organic act, i. e., "upon the recommendation of the superintendent of schools," at the discretion of the superintendent. These conditions were objected to by Attorney Fountain Payton, the one member of the school board who has expressed his objection to Prof. Bruce on a number of occasions. He said: "I cannot concur in those conditions for that does not set at rest this condition which should be definitely set at rest." By giving Mr. Bruce an unlimited vacation, it is said that Dr. Ballou and the majority of the board members believe present agitation of members of the Parents' League for his dismissal from office will subside within six months or a year and he will be able to resume his duties. It is the opinion of some school authorities that the proposition of the superintendent will give Mr. Bruce an opportunity to obtain a position elsewhere. Removing him, it is pointed out, would lessen his chances of finding another position. Those who voted to grant Mr. Bruce an indefinite leave of absence were: Dr. Abram Simon, president of the board; Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, Daniel A. Edwards, Edwin C. Graham, Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook and Dr. Henry B. Learned. Fifteen Years in Schools Mr. Bruce has been in the District school system for 15 years, coming here in 1906 as a supervising principal. The year following he was appointed assistant superintendent for the colored schools. The fight on his incumbency began in 1911, and was then waged by three members of the --- CHRISTMAS SHOT BY SOUTHERN OFFICER Richard Christmas, a groom at the Army quartermaster stables at 19th and Virginia Ave. was shot and seriously wounded by Lieut. Col. Shelly of the Quartermaster Corps, U. S. A., son of a former Confederate General of Alabama, last Monday morning. The shooting was an aftermath of a quarrel between the two men on the parade grounds at Fort Meyer. Christmas stated that Shelley attacked him without any provocation whatever. Not wishing to start any further excitement, he stated that he withdrew. Monday morning, seeing Shelley leaving the offices at the stables he, (Christmas) approached Shelley, it is alleged and attempted to ask him the reason for the attack the day before. Shelley resented this and an altercation ensued in which Shelley attempted to hit Christmas across the head with his riding crop, which is loaded at the end. Christmas dodged the blow with his head and caught it on his shoulder. He succeeded in wrenching the crop from the Colonel and it is then it is alleged that the southerner drew his automatic and shot Christmas; the bullet pierced his abdomen. Shelly jumped into his automobile and speaded off to the parade grounds across the river. Christmas walked about 50 yards and fell. He was rushed to the Emergency Hospital where his conditions are still critical. Shelley was turned over to the government authorities on the technical point that the shooting occurred on government property. He is being held awaiting the outcome of Christmas' condition. board, R. R. Horner, Prof. Tunnell, and Mrs. Harris. This was under the superintendency of Dr. William Davidson. The contest was quieted until it again broke out afresh about two years ago, when Ernest L. Thurston was superintendent, this time to be waged by the Parents' League, who challenged Mr. Bruce's incompetency on many grounds. A special investigation by the board of education was completed on October 22, 1919, and the majority report declared his administration satisfactory. It was signed by H. Barrett Learned, now vice-chairman of the board. Other members of the committee were Fountain Peyton, who filed a minority dissenting report, and Mrs. Coralie F. Cook. Prof. Garnett C. Wilkerson is a product of the city schools having passed thru the grades and graduated at Dunbar High School. After finishing the schools here he entered Oberlin College where he received his A. B. in 1902. That fall he was appointed principal of M Street high school; in 1912 he was transferred to the Armstrong Training School and in 1916 was made principal of Dunbar High School, which position he now fills to the credit of the school system. In WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 COMPETITIVE DRILL NEXT THURSDAY The Annual High School Cadet Drill Contest will be held next Thursday afternoon at the American League Base Ball Park, between the cadets of Dunbar High and Armstrong Manual Training School. These drills have become an annual affair that is looked forward to each year by the citizens and students alike with much interest. The various companies are working hard each day getting in readiness: A large crowd is expected to be on hand and see the drilling. Setting up exercises will also be gone through by students of the Junior High School. FREE DENTAL LECTURES AT HOWARD UNIV. The first of the free lectures series offered by the senior classes of Howard and Maharry Dental Colleges, was delivered May 7, by Dr. S. J. Lewis of Harrisburg, Pa., and president of the Interstate Dental Association and Dental Editor of The Journal of The National Medical Association. The Aim of the lecture series is to foster higher professional ideals on the part of the younger men about to enter the profession and to establish a direct point of contact between them and the profession as such at the earliest possible time; thus safeguarding them from the pitfalls and handicaps incident to the beginner and to which he is subject in the early stages of his professional career. The second lecture of the series will be presented on Saturday, May 21st in the Ambitheatre of the Medical College. D. D. A. Ferguson of Richmond, one of the most well known in the profession in America, will deliver the next lecture. The hearty cooperation on the part of both schools has given a new impetus to the Association's program of helpfulness and practical service to the profession. MOCK CHAPEL EXERCISES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, D. C.—The Mck channel exercises held by the students of the Senior Class of Howard University Saturday evening, May 14th, in Rankin Memorial Chapel, in which they impersonated members of the faculty, proved most interesting. The character parts chosen were very efficient in their representation. The impersonation of President Durke by Jesse M. Lawrence was of continual interest throughout the performance. Dean Woodard was excellently mimicked by Miss Maze Tyson in the announcement of a lecture. George Brown, with the enthusiasm of Dean Cook, presented the cause of race pride and the N. A. A. C. P. Miss Lillian Brown was at her best when she gave out the notices for Dean Parks, as was John Eubanks in announcing the Debate and Dramatic Club meeting for (Contniued on page 8) 1909 he received the degree of LL.B., from Howard University. Prof Wilkerson is in his forty-second year. When seen at his office in the Dunbar school, Prof. Wilkerson said that he felt the responsibility of the appointment but owing to the fact that he would not assume his new duties until September 1, he would have nothing to say. This is a distinct promotion for Professor Wilkerson and in keeping with his past record. The position carries a salary of $3,750.00. TREASURY FMPLOYEE PASSES AWAY Mr. Samuel Bonner, widely known in Washington and a well-known resident of Alexandria, passed away Friday evening, May 13.

GOOD TIME MADE IN INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET Notwithstanding the boast of the athletes from various schools that sent representatives to the second Annual Field and Track Meet held Saturday, May 14th, on the Howard University Campus, that they would win over the Howard Relay Team that recently won a National Collegiate Championship One-Mile Relay at the Penn Relay Games held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Howard not only held her own in the Intercollegiate One-Mile Relay but registered 89 points in the Meet, outscoring all opponents including Lincoln, Hampton, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, and Morgan College, having as her nearest rival Lincoln who secured 40 points. One of the most interesting events of the Meet was the Intercollegiate One-Mile Relay in which the Lincoln Relay Team composed of Webb, Branch, Carr, and Hailstalk and the Howard Relay Team composed of Perry, Craft, Contee and Robinson, were entered, both of which teams won similar events at the Penn Relay Games. It had been thought by many that the Howard Relay Team would find it difficult to win over the Lincoln Relay Team but the outcome of the event showed that Perry, Craft, Contee and Robinson were quite equal to the oc- (Continued on page 8) DESIGNED SOUTHERN AID BUILDING, WHITELAW HOTEL MURRAY CASINO AND OTHER PROMINENT STRUCTURES Read Gov.

Tuesday morning about two o'clock, after a lingering illness of more than a year. Mr. Hatton had been seriously ill for the last four months and while many of his close friends knew the end was apparently near, the news of his death was a great shock to all. When the end came, his deceased wife, and her sister were the only other people in the house. After composing themselves they calmly went about the supreme task of dressing him. About three o'clock, a. m., one of them walked a mile and a half down the railroad track to notify friends of the death. The funeral services were held at the undertaking establishment of Grice at 12th and R street at 1:30 P. M. Friday, May 20th. The funeral was in charge of the Widow Son Lodge of Masons. The Rev. M. W. Travers conducted the last rites over the corpse. Floral tributes were numerous and were banked high around the beautiful casket. Many were received from out of town friends. A very large wreath was sent by the Southern Aid Society of Virginia. Many prominent men attended the funeral; among them were: Messrs. B. L. Jordan, W. A. Jordan, J. T. Carter, of the Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Va., Mr. W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News, Va. Isaiah T. Hatton, as he was generally known, was the only son of the late Isaiah and Mary Susan Hatton. He was born in Hagerstown, Md., March 1st, 1888 and was 33 years old at his death. His family moved to Washington, D. C. when he was about seven years of age. He attended the public schools here and graduated from the old M St. High at the age of sixteen. After receiving his diploma, he successfully completed courses both in steam engineering and architecture. Having thus fittingly prepared himself for life's work, he began work as a draftsman with Mr. Sidney Pittman. This proved however, to be but a stepping stone as he soon launched out into business for himself under the firm name of I. T. Hatton & Co. Architects, with offices on the corner of La. Ave and Fifth St., N. W. He later moved to the Pythian Building on You St., N. W. where he maintained offices until his death.

"The Kind of Christianity Needed to Reconstruct the World" proved a timely topic and many participated, bringing out the far-reaching possibilities of the modern day church. The afternoon session was given over to the Educational program, at which time Dr. R. C. Wood, president of the school at Lynchburg, delivered the annual Educational address and offering was given for the school, amounting to $28,54.00 which is the largest amount ever raised in the fifty-four years of this historic organization. Last year, at Saunton, Virginia, they placed $23,000.00 on the table for the college at Lynchburg, which has the record until today when it was surpassed. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of the Lincoln Heights School, was the principle speaker at the evening session. She spoke on the general possibilities of education and told of the work that she is trying to do at Lincoln Heights, which was instructive and interesting. Friday was given over to the discussions of Race Relations. The first subject was discussed by Prof. M. F. Peters, "Christianity Its Intellectual and Spiritual Framework." One of the most interesting addresses delivered at this session was that of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, on the question "Is Present Internationalism Compatible With the Teachings of Christ?" Dr. W. B. Reed of Connecticut explained "Thru What Medium Can the Colored American Expect Citizenship?" Friday afternon was given to "The Home Field" work of the convention and the question of "How to Get Kingdom Ideas and Interests Into Self-centered Churches?" was opened by Dr. S. A. Brown and participated in by many of the members for none want to admit that theirs is a "self-centered church." Foreign Misions was the subject for discussion Friday night. The sermon was preached by Rev. S. A. Davenport and an interesting and instructive report was made by Dr. James E. East, who has spent the past eleven years in South Africa. He told of his work there and how he had built it up to a school and eleven stations serving 100,000 people. He is here trying to raise money to purchase 800 acres of land of which to build a school after the pattern of Tuskegee. A collection $160.00 was given him. Saturday morning was given over to summarizing the work of the session and the afternoon was spent in sightseeing. Dr. T. J.

MU-SO-LIT CLUB HEARS HON. PHIL BROWN MU-SO-LIT CLUB HEARS HON. PHIL BROWN Hon. Phil. H. Brown, special conciliator in the Department of Labor, was the main-speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club, on R street last Tuesday. Special music was furnished by Messrs. Wooding and Lomax. Many visitors were out and among them was the Hon. President of Liberia, D. B. King. President King delivered a short informal talk to the enjoyment and enlightenment of all present. "Reminiscences" was the subject selected by Mr. Brown and he brought forth many laughs as he related tales of the days of old. Mr. Brown also interjected some good sound philosophy in his talk; urged race collectivity as the one means of solving some of the pressing problems that now confront us. The open discussion proved very interesting and covered a wide range. Lieut. Clark moved that the Mu-So-Lit Club draw up a petition and send it to Congress asking them to rigidly enforce the Constitution of the United States. The motion was carried. All of the speakers stressed the need race solidarity. The meeting was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

BIG EXCURSION TO AFRICA PLANNED BY RACE CONGRESS Plans are now being perfected by the National Race Congress for a big excursion to the West Coast of Africa next December. Circular letters, bearing the name of Major W. H. York are being sent out to scores of people. Many notable events are being planned for the entertainment of the visitors. Th following copy of the letter will explain many of the details: Dear Friend: The Negro of America shows each day a keener desire to see Africa. This desire is fast becoming a passion. He wants to see and decide for himself as to the advantages offered there to black people. He also wishes to know from personal contact what he can do to help his heathen brother, about whom he has heard so much from pulpit and press, all his life. And why not? Great journals like the Saturday Evening Post, secular, and the Christian Herald, religious, are running series of long, illustrated articles on Africa. It is the big stakes for which the white world is playing. Liberia is our only open door to help the great sorrowing, sobbing, yet ever-living, vigorous and aspiring Motherland. Realizing this fact, the Liberian Plenary Commisison, now in this country, headed by His Excellency, Mr. King, President of the Republic, offers this chance and indorses an excursion to Liberia and other West African parts, next December. In order that tourists taking the trip may enjoy the great advantages such a tour will offer, a "Convocation of Chiefs" will be held during that month. Every tribe will be represented in native villages and all these villages will be enclosed in an exhibition ground. The event will amount to a Fair—the most unique in the history of West Africa. The Excursion will be conducted by the American and African Tourist Co., Inc. Reservations for this tour are now being booked. Unless you register early we cannot insure passage, as our party is limited to three hundred people. The company expects to close out the sale of tickets in thirty days. If you are going fill out the enclosed blank and return it with $25 on your ticket.

May 9—Last week indictments were returned by the United States grand jury against A. H. Dunnaway, a wealthy planter of Oglethorpe, Ga., on the charge of being the chief conspirator of a peonage plant developed here, according to the government's theory, by John Dunnaway, a brother, and Tom Erwin, a deputy sheriff of Oglethorpe county. All the men named have been indicted, but issuance of process will probably not take place until the eve of the next term of federal court It is understood that the prosecution of the Dunnaways and Erwin was directed from the office of the Attorney General in Washington, being the outgrowth of a series of habeas corpus cases instituted here two years ago by Attorney J. Walter Peak, counsel for John Muckle, a prominent colored citizen, in which it was charged that peonage was the motive for the attempt to take several men back to the state of Georgia to stand trial for various offenses. The government dispatched a secret service man to the section-where the Dunnaways live and as the result United States Attorney Kennerley of the eastern district of Tennessee was directed by the Department of Justice to prosecute the cases in which indictments were found here this week. A number of men were brought here this week from Oglethorpe county to appear before the grand jury. Indictments charging the Dunnaways and Erwin with conspiracy to violate the peonage laws with impressing three men into service against their will and with practical operation of a peonage system here were the results. John Muckle, one of the alleged victims of peonage, was arrested in Chattanooga two years ago on a warrant from the state of Georgia. About the same time Mary Chealy and Tilford Jackson, two other men who were witnesses before the grand jury here this week were taken into custody. Muckle had been in Oglethorpe county, and he was accused by John Dunnaway. Mary Chealy and Tilford Jackson were returned to Georgia, placed in jail and later bailed out by A. P. Dunnaway. Muckle fought extradition, but lost his case, was taken back to Georgia and later released. In the meantime Lula Jackson, mother of Tilford Jackson who had returned to Georgia, remained here, but a short time later was decoyed across the Georgia line and placed in jail. She claimed she was bailed out by the Dunnaways and placed at work on the plantation. The cases against the defendants, it is understood, will be tried at the November term of federal court here. NEW INSURANCE COMPANY The Federal Insurance Company, is one of the recent corporations incorporated in the District of Columbia for the purpose of conducting industrial insurance. The company is capitalized for $25,000 with a surplus of $5,000. Speaking of existing conditions their circular says: "Has the thought ever occurred to you, that of the vast amount of insurance of all kinds purchased by Negroes, more than ninety per cent has been placed with companies which not only frequently discriminate against them in the class of policies offered, but invariably give them little or no recognition in the matter of employment? Has it ever occurred to you, that for us to persist in this course is to do ourselves and our children a grave injustice? Not only do many of the companies with which we carry insurance treat us unfairly both in the class of policies offered and in the matter of employment but frequently their funds (our funds) are invested in the securities of enterprises that exploit us and discriminate against us in many other ways. The following persons comprise the listof officers; Dr. Carroll A. Brooks, president; C. T. Taylor, 1st Vice-president; Mrs. Julia W. Hamilton, 2nd Vice-president; John H. Polk, secretary; Mrs. E. M.

YORK, Business Manager NEW YORK PAPER SEEKS INVESTIGATION IN HAITI The New York Evening Post in commenting on the recent statement made by the Commission from Haiti virtually demanded a further and more thorough investigation of affairs in the island. Under the following caption it had the following to say. INVESTIGATION NEEDED IN HAITI In the face of the terrific arraignment of our record of military occupation in Haiti, now laid before the government at Washington by delegates from the island, it is impossible for Mr. Harding to postpone that full investigation which events in Haiti have long demanded. The language of the Haitian protest is more than strong. But it is also specific, and many of the charges are corroborated by American observers in the island. It is to be hoped that not all the charges are true. But the only way to establish the facts is by an investigation much more comprehensive and much more open than we have hitherto had. Public sentiment in this country has up to now been confused by a succession of charges and investigations. We were shocked by Brig. Gen. Barnett's report of indiscriminate slaying practiced by our marines in Haiti. We passed through a severe reaction when these charges were seriously modified by Maj.-Gen. Barnet himself and in great measure rebutted by Maj. Gen. Lejeune after an inquiry under instructions from Secretary Daniels. We have had a naval court of inquiry under Admiral Mayo and an investigation enthusiastically approving our policy in Haiti by Rear Admiral Knapp. There is obviously pressing need of a definite report. If we are not guilty of the charges it is only mere justice to our armed forces that the fact should be established. If we have done wrong public sentiment will be behind the administration in making confession and amends. Today Haiti is an open sore.—New York Evening Post (Independent).

Jones The first conference for Colored High School Girl Reserves of the East Central Field met at Germantown, Pa. May 13-15. One hundred and twenty delegates from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Lancaster, Coatesville, Wilkes-Barre, and Germantown were present. Out of this number Washington sent eleven. Those chosen to represent the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. were Ethel Bruce of the Blue Triangle Club, Margaret Brown, Marjorie Ferguson, and Bernice Chism of the Chain of Friendship; Dorothy Craft, Ida May Hall, and Margaret Petway of the Dramatic Club, and Alice Richards, Stellena Harrod, Anita Turpeau, and Inez Hearn of the Phyllis Wheatley group. The girls were accompanied by Miss Florence Brooks the Girls' Work Secretary, Mrs. M. F. Thompson, adviser of the Phyllis Wheatley group, Misses Esther Peyton and Waugh of the Chain of Friendship and Miss Olive Jones adviser of the Dramatic Club. The conference opened Friday night with a camp fire, and on Saturday morning the business session began with Devotions led by Alice Richards. Discussion of Commissions followed Washington having charge of the Membership Commission which was very ably led by Ida May Hall. The most notable recommendation of the conference was presented by the Washington Commission which created a scholarship fund for extending the education of High School girls with ability, who couldn't otherwise obtain a college education. The suggestion was unanimously adopted and donation to this fund by the clubs was made a point of the Honor Roll. Voluntary contributions to the amount of Twenty-five dollars were received to start the fund. At the banquet on Saturday night the girls were addressed by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, after which the delegates from Germantown and Washington entertained the guests with a program. Our girls presented to Miss Prack, the Field Girls' Work Secretary for the wonderful interest she has taken in them and to the Germantown Girl Reserves for their hospitality, framed Girl Reserve Codes. Sunday afternoon Vespers closed the session. The Washington High Schools allowed their girls a day for sight seeing, and the Washington delegation spent Monday on a sight seeing tour in Philadelphia where they visited the Mint, Independence Hall and many other places of interest. A tired but happy group returned Monday night to resume their duties and bring back the wonderful spirit of the trip to the other Girl Reserves of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. It was generally conceded by all present that Washington put the "pep" in the conference, which they did both by their able suggestions and arguments, and the remarkable enthusiasm they showed in their cheers and songs led by Anita Turpeau of the Phyllis Wheatley group, the conference cheer leader.

McGhee HOWARD PLAYERS IN OUTDOOR PLAY—THE CANTERBURY PILGRIMS The Howard University Players are taking another forward step in their ambitious dramatic program. Their splendid productions of such plays as "The Tenths of the Arabs," "Simon the Cyrenian," and of "The Emperor Jones," with Charles Gilpin, has already given them a national reputation, and now they announce another noteworthy production for the evening of June ninth, the evening preceding the Commencement at Howard University. Breaking away from the customary presentation of indoor plays, they are to give a great out-of-door drama in a natural amphitheatre on the University Campus. The play is by Percy Mackaye, regarded as America's leading dramatist and it is being given through the special consent of Mr. Mackaye. The play is "The Canterbury Pilgrims" and is based on Chaucer's immortal "Canterbury Tales." It is a delightful comedy of four acts and fifty characters. Caucer, himself, is made the hero of the play and he is presented to us in all of his human appeal—not the immortal bard alone, but the man among men. In addition, all of the great characters of the "Tales" are presented in a moving and telling drama. The version used will be that of the opera for which Reginald DeKoven composed the music and which was presented at the Metropolitan Opera House, in New York. Plans are being laid to make this play, one of the most beautiful and artistic ever witnessed in Washington.

The costumes and lighting will all be in harmony with this artistic setting. Provision will be made to accommodate 3000 spectators. The play is being directed by Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest and Montgomery Gregory, Director of the Department of Dramatics at Howard University. It is expected that the public schools will be particularly interested because of the educational and literary significance of the play. Miss Helen C. Lawrence, one of the graduates of last year's class (1920), who is now teaching at her home Norfolk, Virginia, in the Booker T. Washington High School, was in the city over Saturday and Sunday, May 14th and 15th, visiting her sister, Miss Margaret Lawrence, who is a member of the present Sophomore Class at the University. The many friends of Miss Lawrence, and her classmates who are now in the professional schools of the University, were much delighted over her visit. Inquiring friends were pleased to learn that she is enjoying her school work. The Chapel exercises at the Howard University Monday noon, May 16th, proved of unusual interest because of the presence of Mr. Robert Lawrence, organizing director of community singing, who will have charge of the "Music Week" campaign to be held in Washington, May 29th to June 4th. Mr. Lawrence was asked to lead the students assembled at Chapel exercises in a number of songs.

GO TO SCHOOL MOVEMENT SUCCEEDS "Of the great number of students who enter Howard University every year, only about 35 per cent remain throughout their courses and graduate," stated Mr. J. Garland Wood, an undergraduate of the University, in an address before the Howard student body as a representative of the Second Annual "Go to High School—Go to College" Movement, a nation-wide educational campagin conducted by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, May 9th to 15th. "The Class of 1921 entered with an enrollment of 218, and graduated with only 60; the Class of 1922 entered with 239, and only 86 remain; and the Class of 1922 entered with a record enrollment of 325, and now have barely 100," he continued. Mr. Wood made a strong and forceful appeal to the college students to continue their course in college, and in an effort to stimulate a realization on the part of the present Freshman Class of the seriousness of this condition, presented to the University on behalf of the Movement, a Scholarship of $50.00 to be awarded to a worthy member of the Freshman Class. The Second Annual "Go to High School—Go to College" Movement was conducted in the District of Columbia, by Beta Chapter, of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, located at Howard University, under the direction of Mr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Chapter's local Movement. By permission of the Board of Education, members of the Chapter visited each of the fifty-two colored colored schools of the District of Clumbia, and in heart-to-heart, "big brother" talks pointed out the value of educational training and urged the 18,000 colored school children to continue in school. On Sunday, May 15th, the Movement was concluded when speakers appeared at the local churches and urged the public to encourage boys and girls to remain in school; to talk to parents in the interest of their children; to urge ministers, teachers, and leaders of all groups to talk education; to interest clubs to establish scholarships at reputable schools for worthy students.

Adams SONG LEADERS TRAINING AT DUNBAR The training school for community music leaders was started in earnest last Monday evening in the "gym" of Dunbar High School by Mr. Robert Lawrence, organizing director of Washington's "Music week." An interesting group were present. To some the meeting appeared as a novelty but ere long after opening, busy-seekers became busy-bodies, so completely did Mr. Lawrence put the novices through only a few technical drills with the utmost ease and grace. Mostly present were women, among them some of Mary E. Mrs. GABRIELLE PELHAM, Assistant Secretary our best musicians and a sprinkling of men, some of them a little stiff-jointed as evidenced in drill but they loosened up after a bit as well as a few of the ladies who apparently needed the exercise in gymnastics. Really, one would be surprised to see how little one knows when a great big mind imparts knowledge of a well equipped faculty which is daily being proven by shortgivings here and there among the group, especially the musicians. But let it be said to the credit of all that they are an earnest, sympathetic, willing group, there to receive instruction with an open mind and heart and that's what counts in the final analysis. Enthusiasm is manifested more and more each night and flashes of real talent are noticed already by director Lawrence, who is highly encouraged over the prospects for good song leaders. Mr. Lawrence undoubtedly is one of the greatest musical directors this country affords. His ease of manner, grace of action and charming disposition make him an ideal director the kind with "pep" and agility that would defy a trained athlete on the course. Miss Alice Pollock, the secretary, with her winning smile and cheerful manner is out each night in the class and is just as eager in the training as the least one there. Several ladies of the white group assist the director cleverly and interestingly, taking great pains with the "embryo" song leaders aside who come late. Their interest is appreciated by our group to be sure. PICKINGS FROM CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, in discussing Federal aid to education, said: "Illiteracy is not confined to the Southern States, where so large a part of its population is colored, but it exists all over the country particularly in States like Pennsylvania, where the foreign population is so large." "According to the census of 1920, soon to appear, there is a total of 182,574 illiterates over ten years of age in Tennessee today. Of these 79,502 are colored and 103,072 are white. The number of white illiterates in Tennessee is distressing." During the debate on the "Emergency Tariff", Senator Gooding, of Idaho, in criticizing the remarks of the senior Senator, from Mississippi, (John Sharp Williams) said: "It is not hard to understand the reason why the Democractic Party has always opposed protection to the farmer, for they have had a class of labor in the South that up to a few years ago cost but very little. But the trouble is, Mr. President, that the 'nigger' refuses to remain a 'nigger' any longer. He is demanding the same right to live and the same pay for his hire as others Dr. Emmett Scott, and pupil at Miner Normal, as well as Master James Haley, pupil at Garrison School, caught the fancy of director Lawrence in their good work so thoroughly on the opening night (Monday, May 16th) that he had them both come to the platform and show the class their splendid position amid applause. The class was closed to applicants last Wednesday night and those selected from among the group who best demonstrated talent for directing shall be the song leaders for Music week among colored. We shall give the list of selected leaders next week. COMMUNITY CENTER BAND The Helping Hand Club, Mrs. Emma Hall, president, presented the Community Civic Center Band, James E. Miller, Director, in a splendid musical program at Second Baptist church Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor, or Thursday evening May 12th, 1921. This band was organized about three years ago by Mr. Miller and he has succeeded in this short time bringing the membership to the number of fifty-five performers and purchasing about $4000.00 worth of property in instruments and uniforms since organizing with the aid of his good men. This band is doing splendid work in our city and should be encouraged not by word alone but with finance contributed by the public at large. They played in the city parks last Summer with credit and will likewise repeat this year according to announcement. They also will perform on the Ellipse during Music week. Let's encourage the Community Civic Center Band in every way possible, they would appreciate the least kindness tendered.

Senator Caraway, of Arkansas, introduced a bill (S 1793) prohibiting the enlistment of any member of the Negro race in the military or naval services of the United States of America, and directing the discharge of all members of the Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States. This bill was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Caraway, also introduced (S 1796) a bill prohibiting the Intermarriage of the Negro and Caucasian races in the District of Columbia and the residence in the District of Columbia of members of those races intermarrying outside the boundaries of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes, and providing penalties for the violation of this act; which was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. Read our various departments in this issue of The Tribune then write us a note telling us what you think of it. Your suggestion will be given due consideration. Let it be brickbats or otherwise we will be the wiser for having them. 3 SINISTER BILL INTRODUCED BY SOUTHERN SENATOR CARAWAY Senator Caraway of Arkansas, like many other Senators from the South, who attempt to boost their popularity at home by introducing bills aimed against the race, has introduced two such bills in the Senate of the United States. Caraway's first bill is aimed to prohibit the enlistment of any member of the race in the army and navy. The second one is to prohibit the intermarriage of the races within the District of Columbia. THE BILLS Prohibiting the enlistment of any member of the Negro race in the military or naval services of the United States of America, and directing the discharge of all members of the Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter, in times of peace, no member of the Negro race shall be enlisted in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States of America. Sec. 2. That all members of the Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States shall be discharged from such service within sixty days after the passage of this Act. Sec. 3. That no member of the Negro race shall be admitted to either the Military Academy or the Naval Academy of the United States. Prohibiting the intermarriage of the Negro and Caucasian races in the District of Columbia and the residence in the District of Columbia of members of those races so intermarrying outside the boundaries of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes, and providing penalties for the violation of this Act. Sec. 3. That any such marriage hereafter contracted in the District of Columbia shall be null and void, and the issue born of any such marriage shall be illegitimate. Sec. 4. That any person residing in the District of Columbia and whose intermarriage is forbidden by this Act who leaves the District of Columbia for the purpose of evading the provisions of this Act and intermarries with another whose intermarriage is hereby forbidden in the District of Columbia is hereby declared to fall within the provisions of this Act and to be subject to all of its provisions, and upon conviction shall be punished as hereinafter provided. Sec. 5. That any minister or other person authorized by law to perform a marriage-ceremony who shall in the District of Columbia knowingly perform a ceremony intended to unite any person of the Negro or black race to any person of the Caucasian or white race shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished as hereafter provided. Sec. 6. That any person violating any provision of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a felony and shall upon conviction be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment for a period of not less than one year nor more than five years. ASSISTED IN CAMPAIGN With the very generous help of a number of the students of Howard University including Misses Vivian E. Mason; Anne Scarlett, Wilhelmina Butler, and Arizona Cleaver, who assisted in collecting pledges and getting contributions from the various teachers and officers, together with the Misses Mayme L. Green, Florence V. McNorton, and Velda T. Brown who solicited contributions in the slot cans, the sum of $80.73 was secured towards the Instructive Visiting Nurse Campaign conducted at the University recently by Misses Marie I. Hardwick and Lillian L. Childs. The general supervision of the drive at the University was under the section Chairman, Mrs. Emmett J. Scott.

THEATRE NOTES The Colored Actor's Union, with offices in the Mid-City theatre building is making rapid progress and their membership is composed of actors in every section of the country. The officers of the organization are Mr. Henry Wooden, president, Mr. Boots Hope, secretary, Mr. S. H. Dudley, temporary treasurer. The Union has a capitalization of $25,000. Midnight rambles will be held in every colored theatre in the country for the benefit of this association The real purpose of this association is to form a closer union between the colored actors and the owners of colored theatres throughout the United States. Mouse is a very commendable one and was well received by large and appreciative audiences. William Macconico, the clever ventriquist went over in fine style. Dade and Dade, eccentric clarinet artists of extraordinary ability presented a very neat musical act and won many friends. Toots and Bondenia are singers and dancers of a high type and sang their way into the hearts of an enthusiastic audience.

MAY 21. 1921 James Williams in a singing and talking act distinguished himself as a clever clean cut performer and was heartily applauded. Al Major, a clever magician put over a very nifty bit of illusions that really made a delightful evening's entertainment. SCANDAL OF 1921 AT HOWARD THEATRE By Jay Bee An enthusiastic audience greeted Quintard Miller's new show, "Darktown Scandals of 1921" at the Howard last Monday night. The opening number "Is Everybody Blue" by Miss Lulu Whidby, the charming soubrette, assisted by one of the snappiest bunch of girls seen here for quite a while, easily got away to a good start and established herself as one of the assets of the show. At the end of that number, Mr. Miller, the owner and manager of the show formally set the show in motion and disappeared for the remainder of the evening. A little disappointment was felt because of the non-appearance of Mr. Miller in the "straight" position. Mr. James Howell, a very energetic worker, took care of this situation and received a very kindly hand. Messrs. B. B. Joyner and Johnny Hudgins are really funny and kept the audience on their toes. A slight inclination to use "cuss words" served to somewhat mar the temperament of the audience and the elimination of this feature of their dialogue should be affected at once. It is not necessary to resort to such practices to draw applause. They are funny enough without it. The entrance of dainty Theresa Brooks, the clever little comedienne and favorite here, brought forth a round of vociferous applause from her admirers and her elaborate wardrobe of costly costumes was the subject of much comment. Miss Mildred Martien, who appeared in the spot made conspicuous by the absence of Miss Daisy Martin, another Washington favorite, easily won the admiration of audience by her very graceful appearance. The musical numbers: "Kentucky Blues," by Miss Martien; "Land of Old Black Joe," by Miss Kelly; "Home Again Blues" by Miss Whidby; and "Beautiful Faces" were song numbers that were well put over. Johnnie Hudgins, the versatile comedian all toged up in purple and white satin suit, cleaned up when he appeared in imitations of Bert Williams and the lamented George Walker. Harold Williams' rendition of "When the Bell in Lighthouse Rings" was an excellent piece of vocal work, and he was forced to acknowledge several recalls. The orchestra was under the personal direction of Miss Mary Daniels. A suggestion—A little investment in electric iron would help greatly toward smoothing out the costumes of several of the members of the show. EXCELLENT BILL AT FORAKER That the management of the Foraker is positively giving their patrons the best screen clasics and the highest quality vaudeville that is obtanable is being attested nightly by the record capacity audiences, that make up the attendance there. Charles Anderson, that clean-cut singer of ballads and a widely popular favorite here, opened the bill with his famous yodling number, which always provokes the hearty appreciation of all his hearers. His three-voiced specialty, a rare vocal novelty, was a real treat and he was very heartily applauded by an enthusiastic audience. His closing number of a "blues" variety, made a very capable finish and was a scream. Edwards and O'Brien, offered "Under Hawaiian Skies" in big time style and their attractive Hawaiian Costumes helped greatly toward putting this number over. Miss Edwards, assisted by Mr. O'Brien at the piano, offered several new songs that were just from the press of a well-known New York publishing house, which were well received. Owing to the very recent recovery of Mr. O'Brien, who has been ill, he was unable to give a full measure of his musical ability. It is a well costumed act and should do well in any house. It was an excellent bill. NEXT WEEK Edwards and Edwards, popularly known as "Butter Beans" and "Susie" clever vaudevillians will make their appearance here next week. The bill also includes the famous Al Major Duo, magicians and illusionists of note. You will miss a real treat if you fail to see next week's bill. There will also be, as usual, feature photoplay attractions. ROBINSON WINS HUNDRED At the Dunbar-Armstrong Track Meet held on the Howard University campus, Wednesday, May 18th, a special 100 yard dash and a 220 yard dash was held by the request of Messrs Robinson, Molson, Craft, and Fannin, members of the Howard University Track Team, in the attempt to decide the championship among the Howard stars. In the special 100 yard dash, Leo. G. Robinson, the star of the Howard Track Team at the recent Penn Relay Games, won first place with Molson securing second place. Robinson still held his own in the 220 yard dash, securing first place in the event also. TENNIS FINALS The finals of the men's singles in the Howard University Tennis Tournament were played by Percy Richardson and Sylvester Smith, local tennis stars, the sets ending 6-3, 6-2, and 6-love in favor of Sylvester Smith. The silver loving cup which was presented by the Republic Theatre was awarded to the winner. The game was fast and hotly contested. Washington, D. C.—Coach Morrison has just announced the names of the men of the basket ball squad who will receive the varsity H in basket ball for the 1920 season. The men were called together Thursday noon and elected John Clifford Clarkson, formerly of the Springfield High School, Springfield, Mass., as captain of the 1921 team. Clarkson was one of the star guards on the varsity squad this season and featured during the season with his close, hard and consistent guarding, and his lightning floor work. The members of the basket ball squad receiving their letters this year are: Percy Richardson, 1920 captain; R. Haywood Johnson; George L. Johnson; Edgar Houser; Lorenza Carter; and Frank Hailstock.

Both games were well played. Punch, the star pitcher for the Athletics, opposed Boswell for the Giants. Boswell had the better of the argument between the two. The Hitting of Bland of the Giants was one of the features, getting 4 hits out of 5 times up. Dean and Harry Johnson also played well. Score first game, Giants 10, Washington Athletics 4.

E. Church. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Brown, the rector. The church was lavishly decorated with choice floral pieces. The altar was bedecked with carnations and roses while the entire chancel was completely covered with mountain laurels that were in full bloom. An archway of palms just outside the altar presented a veritable palm garden. At the ends of the three aisles were beautiful standards, which were surmounted with vases filled with pink and white roses and asparagus vines. The baptismal font was hidden with mountain laurels, roses, ferns and carnations. Across the center aisle was a double white gate profusely decorated with asparagus ferns, which served to separate the family from the audience and was opened by maids who were dressed in white and wore large white hats. The bride was given away by her cousin, Dr. Norman T. Cotton of Patterson, N. J. The bride wore white satin, pearl trimmed with court train bridal veiling and a coronet of orange blossoms.

THE BINGS SCORE HUGE SUCCESS On Wednesday May 18, the Tau Sigma Beta, erstwhile the "Society Bings" closed the season with one of, if not the best and most brilliant affairs yet given at the new Murary Casino. This beautiful auditorium, was so beautifully and effectively decorated that the very prevailing atmosphere was seemingly conducive to fun and frolic. This being their first appearance at the Casino, the club did its best to make it as wonderful as possible, and without a doubt they succeeded beyond their fondest hopes. Not since its doors were first thrown open to the public has the spacious auditorium been decorated as elaborately and as beautifully as it was on this occasion. In the center of the floor large gilted letters, "T. S. B.," were conspicuously mounted on beautiful red bunting draped around a circle of covered chairs. In the center of the circle a large electric light surrounded by beautiful ferns and floating ballons of many colors gave a very netrancing effect. With long drooping folds of blue and white bunting fastened lengthwise along the ceiling; with small air balloons effectively placed all around the room while larger ones filled with hydrogen gracefully floated above the dancers' heads, with old glory fastened in folds on the different walls; with soft rays from a beautiful spot-light falling upon the smiling faces of the guests; with sweet melodious strains from Duke Ellington's incomparable syncopators floating around, co-mingling with the pitter patter and half suppressed giggles of young hearts bubbling over with pleasure; the whole place was virtually transformed into a fairyland of magnificent splendor. Not for a long time has such a variety of feminine charm assembled at the same place, at the same time and with the same results. The officers and members of the club are as follows: J. Royal Boone, pres; H. Clinton Taylor, vice-pres; Wesley B. Speller, sec.; Joseph T. Stewart, treas.; Wilbur C. Stewart, asst. sec.; Roger Mason, attorney; Russel S. Carpenter, historian; Walter E. Ellis, floor manager; Walter S. Stewart, sergeant-at-arms; Andrew Walker, Gordon Johnson, Shaefer S. Bentley, Joseph Wilson, Fred Wilson, Carper Haris and Dr. Walter Savoy.

Dorsey 135 Cases of Alleged Brutalities Listed 6 TO THE CONFERENCE OF CIT ZENS CALLED TO MEET THIS DAY AT ATLANTA: D. The Negro subject to individual acts of cruelty— Under these four headings, in the following pages I have grouped 135 examples of the alleged mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia in the last two years. Without design, or the knowledge of each other, Georgians, with one-exception, have called these cases to my attention as Governor of Georgia. The exception noted was the appeal of two Negroes to Washington for protection. Their appeal was forwarded to me, as Governor, with the request that I should act if I could do so without adding to the danger in which the Negroes stood. No effort has been made to collect cases. If such an effort were made, I believe the number could be multiplied. In some counties the Negro is being driven out as though he were a wild beast. In others he is being held as a slave. In others, no Negroes remain. In only two of the 135 cases cited is the "usual crime" against white women involved. As Governor of Georgia. I have asked you, as citizens having the best interest of the State at heart, to meet here today to confer with me as to the best course to be taken. To me it seems that we stand indicted as a people before the world. If the conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more severely than man and God have condemned Belgium and Leopold for the Congo atrocities. But worse than that condemnation would be the destruction of our civilization by the continued toleration of such cruelties in Georgia. I place the charges before you, as they have come unsolicited to me. I have withheld the names of counties and individuals, because I do not desire to give harmful publicity to those counties where these outrages are said to have occurred, the better element regret them, and I believe, furthermore, that the better element in these counties and whole State, who constitute the majority of our people, will condemn such conditions and take the steps necessary to correct them, when they see and realize the staggering sum total of such cases, which while seemingly confined to a small minority of our counties, yet bring disgrace and obloquy upon the State as a whole, and upon the entire Southern people. The investigation and the suggestion of a remedy should come from Georgians, and not from outsiders. For these reasons, I call to your attention the following charges together with a suggested remedy, which you will find at the end of the recital of cases. HUGH M. DORSEY, Governor THE NEGRO LYNCHED County No. 1. Case No. 1. July, 1919, two white men, drunk, went to the Negro section of a town in this county at night. An elderly Negro, got his gun and went into the streets, it is claimed, to protect the women of his race. In the shooting, which followed, one of the white men was killed. The Negro was placed in the jail, The sheriff left him there, with no guard, to go to another place to get a prisoner. A county commissioner hearing that a mob was coming went to the jail to remove the prisoner, but could find no key to unlock the door. The mob had the key. They lynched the Negro. County No. 2. In October, 1919, a Negro was taken from the sheriff, who was carrying him from one county to another for safe keeping and lynched. The Negro was a preacher and teacher. Schools and churches were closed on account THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 of influenza and the Negro went to work for a farmer. nI a dispute about extra work, the farmer attacked the Negro with an axe. The Negro raised his gun. The farmer turned and received a load of bird shot in the back. The Negro fled, but was brought back. The sheriff heard of a mob threatening and removed the Negro to another County. The sheriff of this County hearing of a coming mob started with the Negro to another County but was overtaken as described above. The man shot by the Negro is alive. A Negro charged with assault upon a white girl, was tied to a tree and shot to death in January, 1921. No indictment has ever been found, no arrest made. Counties Nos. 4 and 5 Case No. 4 A Negro murdered a farmer, who ordered the Negro not to hunt upon his farm. The Negro fled but was arrested and brought back. A mob took the Negro from the train at the station and put him in an automobile, and carried him back to the scene of his crime, where his bullet-riddled body was found hanging in a tree. A Negro was suspected of the murder of a white woman. He was arrested. The same day he was taken from the jail. In the midst of a mob of 3,000 people, he was burned to death by a "low fire," the torture being prolonged as much as possible. THE NEGRO HELD IN PEONAGE Case No. 6 (a) In 1920 a Negro on the place of a white farmer in this County made a crop of $2\frac{1}{2}$ bales of cotton and two 2-horse wagon loads of corn. The crop was turned over to the white farmer, who claimed that the Negro still owed him $118.00. In September the Negro ran away to Atlanta, where he was arrested and carried back and put in jail. A brother of the complaining farmer, made the man's bond and carried him to his farm, where the Negro worked a week. He escaped and walked to Atlanta, where he was arrested again the day that he arrived, February 13, and carried back again. In his presence, the Negro charges, the farmer offered to sell him to another man, if the man would pay him $55.00. Offer to Sell The whites deny this, but one admits that the other said something about paying him for the expense of his Atlanta trip. He says that he settled with the Negro in December, 1920, when the Negro agreed to work through 1921 for $12.50 a month and his board, the farmer agreeing to cancel the debt of $118.00. On this new trade, the farmer advanced the Negro $5.00 and bought goods for him amounting to $8.00. The Negro the same day ran away. It was on account of this $5.00 in cash and the goods, that the warrant for cheating and swindling was sworn out. Knifed The wife of the Negro, mother of a girl of nine, and a boy of eight years, confirms her husband's story with the additional information that the farmer knifed her husband while they were killing hogs, for some trivial infraction of the farmer's orders. (b) Another Negro worked for the same farmer in 1920. The farmer claims to have paid him $15.00 a month and board, and that December 12, the Negro agreed to work during 1921, when he, the farmer, advanced $5.00 to pay for a pair of shoes for him. That night the Negro ran away. A warrant for cheating and swindling was sworn out and the Negro brought back. The farmer made a bond of $50.00 for the Negro, who agreed to work for him for seven months at $12.50 per month and board. Cause for Running Away The Negro claims that last year he was to receive $25.00 a month, but received nothing but a suit or two of 'overalls, some work shirts and shoes. He has received no settlement for last year, he says. He admits the shoes being purchased for him but says he paid back $2.00 before leaving. Gov.-Elect Hardwick and Others Try To Discredit Governor's Pamphlet Atlanta, Ga. May 15—Publication of the booklet, "The Negro In Georgia" by Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey, charging 135 cases of mistreatment of Negroes, was assailed in three statements published here this week, by prominent men in Macon county. A mass meeting was called for Sunday May 22 with the announced purpose of taking steps to impeach the governor. J. Gordon Jones, mayor of Cordele, Ga. was announced as one of the speakers. The purpose of the meeting is to try to stir up sentiment against the Governor, and press their charges of Inpeachment. The replies were in the form of public statements issued by Samuel L. Olive, president of the State senate, and by Judge E. R. Searcy of Flint Circuit, superior court and an address made at McDonnough by Thomas W. Hardwick, former United States senator and governor-elect Try to Deny Governor's Charges Mr. Hardwick, who declared he would issue a detailed reply as soon as he takes office in June, made a general answer to the charges contained in the booklet, branding them as untrue and as a "slander on the state." Judge Searcy went into charges that Ed White, of Upson county, had been sent to the chain gang on trumped-up charges, and asserted the evidence proved the guilt, and also asserted no one has ever been lynched in Upson county. "Such attitude on the part of your investigator and you, as governor, beggar contempt," said Judge Searcy, in his statement. Mr. Olive denounced the chages in general and taking up a particular case, that of a man burned at the stake, declared it referred to a happening in Oglethorpe county. Mr. Olive declared the governor's booklet referred to the man as one 'suspected of the murder of a white woman' and then proceeded to describe what he said were the facts. The cited case, he declared, attempted an attack on the wife of a young farmer, and failing murdered her with a hoe. Negroes and whites joined in the search and in applying the torch, Mr. Olive added. There was ample evidence of the Negro's guilt in addition to his confession, he declared. The charges made by these men were branded as untrue by all persons knowing anything about conditions in the South. Gov. Dorsey will be upheld one because his book tells of nothing but the truth. Threatened with the chain gang, he went to work for the last man, but ran away because the farmer struck him in the face with his fist, and threatened him. Case No.8 2. (a) A Negro worked for a farmer in County No. 7 for the last six or seven years. The contract called for a certain wage, but the employer would pay him what he chose. The Negro left three of four times, but was always brought back. The year 1920, he was to receive $25.00 a month and board. At Christmas, the Negro asked his employer how much the employer owed him. The man told him $65.00 and paid him $10. The Negro left and came to Atlanta where he was arrested and carried back January 26, 1921. From Christmas Eve until that date, the Negro was at his brother's home in Atlanta. Arrested and Whipped The warrant for his arrest, charged him with assault with intent to murder, committed December 27, 1920. He was released, when the Grand Jury returned "no bill" against him. The warrant was sworn out by the employer. Case No. 9 (b) The Negro described above states that another Negro, now working on the same place, ran away in August last. He was arrested and brought back, severely whipped and put to work. Fear of Death (c) A Negro woman working on the same place has been there for four years. She states that she ran away and reached Florida, but was brought back. Both the Negro and this woman state the man would kill them, if he found that they had talked with anyone. Cases 8 and 9 reported to the Governor by white officials. (d) Two Negroes owed a man, on whose place they were working, $1,800 the indebtedness representing food and supplies advanced to them during the past 12 years. In December, 1919, the two Negroes moved to another plantation. Case No. 10 The owner of the place from which the Negroes moved and his brother came and carried the Negroes back. The Negroes made affidavit before the Solicitor General that they left of their own account. They are located on the place of the brother, who has paid his brother $500 on this account. The man from whose place the Negroes were taken believes that fear of violence caused them to make the affidavit and that the Negroes are held in a state of peonage. Case No.11 (e) A Negro was sentenced to 30 days in the Fulton County Chain Gang for vagrancy. When he had served enough of his time to pay his fine excepting $5.00, the son of a farmer in this County paid him out. With ten other Negroes he was carried to the man's farm, where they were locked up for the night. They were guarded by two armed Negroes, by day and locked up every night. Case No.12 The man stayed from February 1st until September 1st when he and another Negro ran-away. They were caught, brought back and whipped. The other Negro begged to be killed. The white owner shot him. A weight was put upon him. His body was put in a nearby pond back of the owner's home. Fifteen Negroes were working on the place. They were frequently beaten. Peon Sees Murder (f) Another Negro was arrested in Atlanta and fined $25.00 for keeping late hours. The same white man paid the fine in April, 1921, and carried the Negro to the farm to work upon a promise of $40.00 per month, board and lodging. Three other Negroes were carried there at the same time. He remained for four months, when he escaped. He was caught and carried back, severely whipped and locked up. Case No.14 He was whipped twice. He claims to have seen another Negro beaten and then shot by a Negro for running away, and at the instance of the white man. Cases 15-23 Wholesale Murder Since the investigation, the owner of one of these places has been indicted for killing eleven Negroes on his place. He was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life in one of these cases, April 8, 1921. County No. 8 Case No. 24 3. (a) A Negro, in February wrote to a man in Washington: "I am writing you to help me. I am in trouble. I am asking you to please give my case to the State Official for me. Now this my trouble is I work a farm on shers with a man name Mr. —— and now he is holden all I has made and yet claims to hold me still I det to him now want me to work for $1.00 a day and board my self out of it and I has four in family and I hastener feed six mules three times a day and don't get eny pay for it and he put me out the last of the fall to make my living after taking all I made when cotton was 30 and 25 per pound he would not let me sel after it to 18-17 cent per pound for paid by debts an when I got in it would not covy my debts then I will sel and will you please report this for me. Please don't coat my name if you public this Please don't call my name until it come to trial." "Dear Sir, i am ritting yo to get Atlanta Constitution Supports Governor Dorsey's Stand The Atlanta Constitution is with Governor Dorsey on his stand in the exposure of the men who are trying to withhold the real news of the inhuman treatment of colored people in Georgia. In an editorial supporting Governor Dorsey the Constitution says: "The governor's course in calling attention to the seriousness of conditions in the state, will be approved by public sentiment. The governor and every observant citizen knows that unless lynching and disregard for the law as to peonage are done away with by the state, and federal government will inevitably intervene to that end. All must agree that it will be better for the state to accomplish this task without outside aid or assistance. That is what the governor is seeking to have done. It is simply a question as to whether five per cent of the people of the state are going to be permitted to run roughshod over the wishes and welfare of the other ninety-five per cent. The governor makes it plain that it is not his desire or intention to injure the reputation of any county, town or official; but he wishes only to awaken the people of Georgia, to what he regards as a peril overshadowing all others threatening our state, which peril he believes 'to be due to a failure upon the part of the majority of our people to appreciate what is taking place, and the staggering sum total of the charges made against us as a people in connection with our treatment of the Negro.' It is clear that the governor is fighting only for public decency, for law and order and justice. The public sentiment of the state can be relied upon to give strength to his right arm in defense of such a position." yo to help me i am having trouble please give my cas to the State official for me now hear is my trouburl i has work a farm on shers with a man name _____ and he has taken all that i has made and now are holding me claming i am still in dept to him and now wants me to work for $1.00 a day and board my self out of it and i has seven in family and i hasto milk his cows and don't get any pay for it and he put me out of the fall to make my lifing after taking all that i made when cotton was 30 and 25 cents per pound.

Prologue. If one can just lie close enough to the breast of the wilderness, he can't help but be imbued with some of the life that pulses therein.—From a Frontiersman's Diary. Long ago, when the great city of Gitcheapolis was a rather small, untidy hamlet in the middle of a plain, it used to be that a pool of water, possibly two hundred feet square, gathered every spring immediately back of the courthouse. The snow falls thick and heavy in Gitcheapolis in winter; and the pond was nothing more than snow water that the inefficient drainage system of the city did not quite absorb. Besides being the despair of the plumbers and the city engineer, it was a severe strain on the beauty-loving instincts of every inhabitant in the town who had any such instincts. It was muddy and murky and generally distasteful. A little boy played at the edge of the water, this spring day of long ago. Except for his interest in the pond, it would have been scarcely worth while to go to the trouble of explaining that it contained no fish. He, however, bitterly regretted the fact. In truth, he sometimes liked to believe that it did contain fish, very sleepy fish that never made a ripple, and as he had an uncommon imagination he was sometimes able to convince himself that this was so. But he never took hook and line and played at fishing. He was too much afraid of the laughter of his boy friends. His mother probably wouldn't object if he fished here, he thought, particularly if he were careful not to get his shoes covered with mud. But she wouldn't let him go down to Gltcheapolis creek to fish with the other boys for mud cat. He was not very strong, she thought, and it was a rough sport anyway, and besides—she didn't think he wanted to go very badly. As mothers are usually particularly understanding, this was a curious thing. The truth was that little Dan Falling wanted to fish almost as much as he wanted to live. He would dream about it of nights. His blood would glow with the thought of it in the springtime. Women the world over will have a hard time believing what an intense, heart-devouring passion the love of the chase can be, whether it is for fishing or hunting or merely knocking golf balls into a little hole upon a green. Sometimes they don't remember that this instinct is just as much a part of most men, and thus most boys, as their hands or their lips. It was acquired by just as laborious a process—the lives of uncounted thousands of ancestors who fished and hunted for a living. It was true that little Dan didn't look the part. Even then he showed signs of physical frailty. His eyes looked rather large, and his cheeks were not the color of fresh sirloin, as they should have been. In fact, one would have had to look very hard to see any color in them at all. These facts are interesting from the light they throw upon the next glimpse of Dan, fully twenty years later. Except for the fact that it was the background for the earliest picture of little Dan, the pool back of the courthouse has very little importance in his story. It did, however, afford an illustration to him of one of the really astonishing truths of life. He saw a shadow in the water that he pretended he thought might be a fish. He threw a stone at it. The only thing that happened was a splash, and then a slowly widening ripple. The circumference of the ripple grew ever larger, extended and widened, and finally died at the edge of the shore. It set little Dan to thinking. He wondered if, had the pool been larger, the ripple still would have spread; and if the pool had been eternity, whether the ripple would have gone on forever. At the time he did not know the laws of cause and effect. Later, when Gitcheapolis was great and prosperous and no longer untidy, he was going to find out that a cause is nothing but a rock thrown into a pond of infinity, and the ripple that is its effect keeps growing and growing forever. The little incident that is the real beginning of this story was of no more importance than a pebble thrown --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 they said that thei is gonto hang him tonight and Mr. ____ sais he is gonto have me and ____ killed and i am lokoing for you to help me by puting my case in the united State court and then you have that man that is to be hung tonight they claim hat he killed a white woman." Newspapers confirm the fact that the Negro referred to in the last letter was lynched that night. (Continued next week) ICE THE CK SON HALL BROWN, AND COMPANY. into the snow-water pond; but its effect was to remove the life of Dan Falling, since grown up, far out of the realms of the ordinary. And that brings all matters down to 1919, in the last days of a particularly sleepy summer. You would hardly know Gitcheapolis now. The business district has increased tenfold. And the place where used to be the pool and the playground of Dan Falling is now laid off in as green and pretty a city park as one could wish to see. Some day, when the city becomes more prosperous, a pair of swans and a herd of deer are going to be introduced, to restore some of the natural wild life of the park. But in the summer of 1919, a few small birds and possibly half a dozen pairs of squirrels were the extent and limit of the wild creatures. And at the moment this story opens, one of these squirrels was perched on a wide-spreading limb overarching a gravel path that slanted through the sunlit park. The squirrel was hungry. He wished that some one would come along with a nut. There was a bench beneath the tree. If there had not been, the life of Dan Falling would have been entirely different. If the squirrel had been on any other tree, if he hadn't been hungry, if any one of a dozen other things hadn't been as they were, Dan Falling would have never gone back to the land of his people. The little bushy-tailed fellow on the tree limb was the squirrel of Destiny! BOOK ONE Repatriation. Dan Failing stepped out of the elevator and was at once absorbed in the crowd that ever surged up and down Broad street. He was just one of the ordinary drops of water, not an interesting, elaborate, physical and chemical combination to be studied on the slide of a microscope. He wore fairly passable clothes, neither rich nor shabby. He was a tall man, but gave no impression of strength because of the exceeding spareness of his frame. As long as he remained in the crowd, he wasn't important enough to be studied. But soon he turned off, through the park, and straightway found himself alone. The noise and bustle of the crowd—never loud or startling, but so continuous that the senses are scarcely more aware of them than of the beating of one's own heart—suddenly and utterly died almost at the very border of the park. The noise from the street seemed wholly unable to penetrate the thick branches of the trees. He could even hear the leaves whisking and flicking together, and when a man can discern this, he can hear the cushions of a mountain lion on a trail at night. Of course Dan Falling had never heard a mountain lion. Except on the railroad tracks between, he had never really been away from cities in his life. At once his thought went back to the doctor's words. They were still repeating themselves over and over in his ears, and the doctor's face was still before his eyes. It had been a kind face; the lips had even curled in a little smile of encouragement. But the doctor had been perfectly frank, entirely straightforward. There had been no evasion in his verdict. "Ive made every test," he said. "They're pretty well shot. Of course, you can go to some sanitarium, if you've got the money. If you haven't—enjoy yourself all you can for about six months." Dan's voice had been perfectly cool and sure when he replied. He had smiled a little, too. He was still rather proud of that smile. "Six months? Isn't that rather short?" "Maybe a whole lot shorter. I think that's the limit." There was the situation: Dan Falling had but six months to live. He began to wonder whether his mother had been entirely wise in her effort to keep him from the "rough games" of the boys of his own age. He realized now that he had been an underweight all his life—that the frailty that had thrust him to the edge of the grave had begun in his earliest boyhood. But it wasn't that he was born with physical handicaps. He had weighed a full ten pounds; and the doctor had told his father that a sturder little chap was not to be found in any maternity bed in the whole city. But his mother was convinced that the child was delicate and must be sheltered. Never in all the history of his family, so far as Dan knew, had there been a death from the malady that afflicted him. Yet his sentence was signed and sealed. But he harbored no resentment against his mother. It was all in the game. She had done what she thought was best. And he began to wonder in what way he could get the greatest pleasure from his last six months of life. "Good Lord!" he suddenly breathed. "I may not be here to see the snows come!" Dan had always been partial to the winter season. When the snow lay all over the farm lands and bowed down the limbs of the trees, it had always wakened a curious flood of feelings in the wasted man. It seemed to him that he could remember other winters, wherein the snow lay for endless miles over an endless wilderness, and here and there were strange, many-toed tracks that could be followed in the ley dawns. But of course it was just a fancy. He wasn't in the least misled about it. He knew that he had never, in his lifetime, seen the wilderness. Of course his grandfather had been a frontiersman of the first order, and all his ancestors before him—a rangy, hardy breed whose wings would crumple in civilization—but he himself had always lived in cities. Yet the falling snows, soft and gentle but with a kind of remorselessness he could sense but could not understand, had always stirred him. He'd often imagined that he would like to see the forests in winter. In him you could see a reflection of the boy that played beside the pond of snow water, twenty years before. His dark gray eyes were still rather large and perhaps the wasted flesh around them made them seem larger than they were. But it was a little hard to see them, as he wore large glasses. His mother had been sure, years before, that he needed glasses; and she had easily found an oculist that agreed with her. Now that he was alone on the path, the utter absence of color in his cheeks was startling. That meant the absence of red—that warm glow of the blood eager and alive in his veins. Perhaps an observer would have noticed lean hands, with bigknuckled fingers, a rather firm mouth, and closely cropped dark hair. He was twenty-nine years of age, but he looked somewhat older. He know now that he was never going to be any older. A doctor as sure of himself as the one he had just consulted couldn't possibly be mistaken. He sat down on a park bench, just beneath the spreading limb of a great tree. He would sit here, he thought, until he finally decided what he would do with his remaining six months. He hadn't been able to go to war. The recruiting officer had been very kind but most determined. The boys had brought him great tales of France. It might be nice to go to France and live in some country inn until he died. But he didn't have very long to think upon this vein. For at that instant the squirrel came down to see if he had a nut. It was the squirrel of Destiny. But Dan didn't know it then. Bushy-tall was not particularly afraid of the human beings that passed up and down the park, because he had learned by experience that they usually attempted no harm to him. But, nevertheless, he had his instincts. He didn't entirely trust them. After several generations, probably the squirrels of this park would climb all over its visitors and sniff in their ears and investigate the back of their necks. But this wasn't the way of Bushy-tall. He had come too recently from the wild places. And he wondered, most intensely, whether this tall, forked creature had a pocket full of nuts. He swung down on the grass to see. "Why, you little devil!" Dan said in a whisper. His eyes suddenly M. M. "Why, You Little Devil!" Dan Said in a Whisper. sparkled with delight. And he forgot all about the doctor's words and his own prospects in his bitter regrets that he had not brought a pocketrun of nuts. And then Dan did a curious thing. Even later, he didn't know why he did it, or what gave him the idea that he could decoy the squirrel up to him by doing it. That was his only purpose—just to see how close the squirrel would come to him. He thought he would like to look into the bright eyes at close range. All he did was suddenly to freeze into one position—in an instant rendered as motionless as the rather questionable-looking stone stork that was perched on the fountain. The squirrel was very close to him, and Dan seemed to know by instinct that the movement of a single muscle would give him away. So he sat as if he were posing before a photographer's camera. The fact that he was able to do it is in itself important. It is considerably easier to exercise with dumb-bells for five minutes than to sit absolutely without motion for the same length of time. Hunters and naturalists acquire the art with training. It was therefore rather curious that Dan succeeded so well the first time he tried it. He had sense enough to relax first, before he froze. Thus he didn't put such a severe strain on his muscles. The squirrel, after ten seconds had elapsed, stood on his haunches to see better. First he looked a long time with his left eye. Then he turned his head and looked very carefully with his right. Then he backed off a short distance and tried to get a focus with both. Then he came some half-dozen steps nearer. A moment before he had been certain that a living creature—in fact one of the most terrible and powerful living creatures in the world—had been sitting on the park bench. Now his poor little brain was completely added. He was entirely ready to believe that his eyes had deceased him. Bushy-tail drew off a little further, fully convinced at last that his hopes of a nut from a child's hand were blasted. But he turned to look, once more. The figure still sat utterly inert. And all at once he forgot his devouring hunger in the face of an overwhelming curiosity.

In the death of Isaiah Truman Hatton, the race has lost a notable architect and constructural engineer. Altho a young man, Mr. Hatton has a creditably remarkable record as a successful architect and builder. Besides the Industrial Savings Bank, Whitelaw Hotel, Southern Aid Building and the Murray Casino, he designed and built the Grace P. E. Chapel in which his body laid in state previous to the funeral. Mr. Hatton's fame as a builder, was national. His construction of prominent buildings in Philadelphia, Pa., Norfolk and Newport News, Va., attracted the attention of men of affairs over the country. Most notable of his buildings in Virginia is the palatial home of Mr. W. H. C. Brown of Newport News. This building, more than any other, proved the real genius of Mr. Hatton and his devotion to his profession. It is said by everyone who knows anything about constructural engineering that the home of Mr. Brown's is equal to, if not the superior of any home in the state of Virginia. Mr. Hatton was an example of the efficient man, and his contact with the large material supply houses was of the best type which won their highest appreciation and confidence. He knew his profession in all of its varied ramifications and was conscientious in every detail. He was one of the most unprententious, successful men. It will be a long time before his place can be filled by our race.

In making its appearance last week, The Washington Tribune struck a happy chord, if we are to judge from the many and varied compliments, congratulations and news stand returns. We can say without successful contradition that in printing more than three thousand copies, The Tribune broke all records for "first issue" of a newspaper by our group. We did not have, nor have we solicited a single "mail subscriber." They were all disposed of by cash sales, 3,000 of them, and everyone of them sold in the city of Washington. Do you know of any paper that has equaled that on "first issue"? Our returns tell us that our people are ready, willing, yea, waiting to support a real honest-to-goodness, clean cut, journal. The Tribune surpassed all other race journals in city circulation last week. It was first in local news, not a single letter from out of town villages. It also demonstrated that colored business men and women are ready to support first class race journals with their advertisements. SPECIAL ASSISTANTS ment of the appointment of theorney General Daugherty last week the Attorney General, to look by COLORED PEOPLE, against question: Where do we come in the Tribune is of the opinion the appointments of our supposed salary. Tribune is not elated over either of The announcement of the appointment of the Hon. Perry W. Howard by Attorney General Daugherty last week, to a "special" assistant-ship to the Attorney General, to look after fraudulent claims brought by COLORED PEOPLE, against the government, provokes this question: Where do we come in as a race in this appointment? The Tribune is of the opinion that there is more involved in these appointments of our supposed race leaders, than a mere $5,000.00 salary. In fact The Tribune is not elated over either of the three appointments that have been dished out to our group. They are nothing more than mere clerkships. The first one, that of Lieut. Flipper, is regarded as the better of the three. The last two, of phil Brown and Perry Howard apparently show that the pie hunters are tired of waiting and are willing to accept any old thing offered. Of what service is either of these appointments to the race? Neither of these appointments come under the category of "Presidential appointments" requiring their names to be sent up to the Senate for confirmation. They have no definite status and may be cut out at any time. Therefore, President Harding has not made a single appointment of a colored man during the eleven weeks of his administration. In a recent public address, Mr. Brown said that he "had no plans" for his department and in accepting the position he was not pleased with the paragraph setting forth the status of his position. Then why show the yellow streak and accept a position, the status of which does not meet with one's moral sense of equity and justice? Yet the information is sent out that these appointments are of a great benefit to the race. Why complain of segregation in the civil service, then turn around and accept a "special clerkship" where one is placed off in a segregated corner and given insignificant, segregated duties? Is there consistency in this? If the Republican Party has a sense of appreciation for the constant and unfailing support of colored people, now is the time to demonstrate it. We are of the opinion that the G. O. P. is long on promises but short on fulfilling them. And our supposed race leaders, politicians, et al., should have the moral courage of their convictions and not fall for every worm-eaten plum that may be offered. Especially is this true in the case of Mr. Brown and Mr. Howard who are in a financial position enabling them to be more cautious in accepting these "special," segregated, "assistant"-ship. The race is demanding appointments commensurate with its political power, its intelligence and tax-paying worth, and our political leaders should support us in this demand. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 PUBLIC FORUM Articles for this department should be short and the writer should use only one side of the paper. The Tribune assumes no responsibility for opinions appearing herein. The column is open to all who can use it. Articles over 300 words will not be considered. One year ago the bitterest enemy of the board of education and of Negro people was the Senator from Mississippi. To destroy the board he did not hesitate to resort to duplicity; to humiliate Negroes he attempted to abridge the Constitution. Today the best friend, ostensibly, of the board of education is Senator Harrison of Mississippi, whose enmity to colored people has not been lessened. The present status of the colored schools is explained by the reversion of Senator Harrison. By that reversion he became the dominating factor in the city schools, and his dominance is based largely upon his hatred of colored people. The white populace is imbued with a certain idea. This idea a cabal endeavors to transfer into acts. The idea is, as they say of Haytians, colored people are incapable of maintaining self government. The idea avers the city school government, so largely colored, has been but an experiment in Negro control and it avows that the experiment is an absolute failure. It consists that success can be attained solely with white men in control. The alleged proof of failure it illustrates by the agitation which the last two years have seen. It insists that no regard is paid to investigations, judicial emanations and exonerations, merely because the victim is colored. It affirms when similar victims are sought, if colored, similar agitation will be indulged in to the end that there can be no peace when colored men are in authority. It asserts there will be no agitation when white men are in power, and it claims the unperturbed condition in which Thurston and Van Schaick dwelt, they were the responsible individuals in the Moens incident, is positive proof that the Parents' League type fears to attack white men. And so the idea connotes settlement of the whole Negro imbroglio by replacing Negroes with whites in all supervisory positions; elimination of Negroes from the board by reducing its personnel to six, and curtailment of Negro opportunity by making the school courses contain more industrial and less cultural training. This is the pass to which we have been brought by Negroes. Whether this idea can be put into operation is not just now as important as is the fact that Negroes gave white people reasonable bases upon which to seek its operation. Negroes have made their bed. If they do not lie in it they must be saved therefrom by those whose vision sees beyond individual vengeance and personal aggrandizement. Wm. H. Wilson, M.D., 1515 Tenth St. SPORTS CONTINUED GOOD TIME MADE IN INTER- COLLEGIATE MEET (Continued from page 1) casion and easily took the event from Lincoln. Of the scholastic combinations at the Meet, Dunbar High School registered 29 points against 16 Bordentown Manual Training School, her nearest rival. The most interesting of the scholastic events was the One-Mile Relay which was bitterly contested by Dunbar and Bordentown. The Meet proved to be the most successful ever staged under the auspices of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and all the events were well managed. More than 200 athletes from the various schools were assembled at the Meet. As an added attraction to the Meet, Lieut. Richard R. Queen, and Captain Don Queen, formerly members of the Tenth Cavalry gave an exhibition cavalry drill. The exercises in horsemanship exhibited by them produced many thrills for the spectators. The R. O. T. C. band composed of some 40 pieces, recently organized at the University by Sergeant Dorcy Rhodes, afforded excellent music for the occasion.

FOSTER DEFEATS BACHARACKS Scoring two runs in the ninth inning. Rube Foster's American Giants, defeated the New York nine, 2 to 1, in a league game at Schorling park this week. DeMoss and Lyons scored the Giant's runs on clean hits. D. Brown hurled good ball for the local nine, fanning eight and allowing only six hits. Score: RHE Giants ...0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2—2 4 1 New York .1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0—1 6 1 DEANWOOD DEFEATS LAYFAYETTE The Lafayette Athletic Club of Alexandria, was defeated by the Deanwod A. C. in a well played game at the Deanwod park last Sunday. The score was 5-2. A wet field slowed the game very much. The Lafayettes will travel to Anapolis next Sunday, May 22 to cross bats with the fast team of the U. S. S. Cumberland. DUNBAR DEFEATS ARMSTRONG The Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools engaged in a gruelling battle of baseball last Wednesday in which Dunbar came out victorious. The score was Dunbar 13, Armstrong 7. Batteries Carter, Parham and Smith for Armstrong; Goldsby and Deen Dunbar. NAVY YARD WINS Tuesday on diamond No. 8, the Bureau of Engraving defeated the Navy Yard in a well played game to the tune of 11 to 5. Williams of the Bureau pitched a fine game. DUNBAR DEFEATS ARMSTRONG IN ANNUAL TRACK MEET IN ANNUAL TRAIN MEET Dunbar High and Armstrong held their annual track meet Wednesday on Howard University field. The usual rivalry of the two schools was strong as usual. Dunbar won the meet by a large score but Armstrong because of their relay team winning their event, come more than pleased and claiming the city championship. Armstrong makes her claim because of these facts; Dunbar defeated West in the Penn Relays and Armstrong defeated Dunbar. BRAVES DROP SECOND GAME TO STARS A. Albritton lost his first game since joining the braves, Sunday against the Buffalo Stars. The game was a real pitching duel and it is a certain fact that the Braves would have returned winners had Scrappy Brown been in short. For some reason he was unable to be present at the game and Harris who played short did every thing but stop the balls coming his way, he even went so far as to allow one to go thru his legs untouched. The entire team was trying hard to make it four straight wins for Albritton. Kenner who played the keystone sack kept the fans continually cheering for his spectacular stops going from first to second grabbing everything that came his way. Wingfield led at the bat securing two triples out of 4 times at the bat. Out of the four hits that the visitors got off Albritton they succeeded in crossing the pan twice; while the Braves who got 7 hits could only get one counter. Score: Buffalo .....1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0—2 Washington .....0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0—1 WHEELER SHUTS STARS OUT Bodie Wheeler the local pitching ace shut the Buffalo Stars out in their last clash of the series, thereby allowing the D. C., boys to take out of the three games. Scrappy Brown was again in the line-up and with T. Allen (the former Hillsdale Star) kicking the initial sack the local infield was like a stone wall and played errorless ball. Reds Johnson did the twirling for the stars and pitched a fine game, but the local boys were too strong for him and collected three runs while the visitors failed to get one. The D. C. Center fielder, Wingfield, afforded the fielding feature of the day when he raced to the score board and speared one of C. Johnson's liners that was labeled for a sure home run. BRAVES TAKE FIRST FROM BUFFALO STARS The Washington Braves took the first game of the series from the Buffalo Stars. The game was fast and well played from the start. The visitors seemed to have set their minds on a victory for in the first inning they went to work and got three runs but the D. C. boys showed them that three was not enough to win the game and crossed the pan 5 times before the last man had been retired in the second inning. Scrappy Brown led the D. C. boys at the bat getting 2 hits out of 4 times at the bat he also made some fine stops in the short field that kept the fans on their feet. WHAT SMART DRESSED LADIES ARE WEARING Many novelty effects in veils are being used, and the long-made veil seems to be enjoying more favor than the square-shaped veil. Chantilly lace veils are being accepted to a greater degree than earlier in the season, and the veil with chenille and silk border done in contrasting colors is exceedingly popular with smart women. Veils as part of the hat trimming were an early spring fashion introduced by French milliners. Now separate veils are being worn in similar manner on ready-to-wear hats, draped to suit the wearer's idea of individual requirements. Considerably more color than usual is seen in veils and veiling generally, which makes for a pleasing change. The campus coat made of Camel's hair is a slip-on V-neck sweater that is new and fast meeting with favor. These smart sweaters come in all the popular colors, are plain knit and in waistline length that make them particularly desirable for wear under the sport suit. The knitted scarf daily gains in favor, for it is the logical neckpiece to wear with the sport or general utility spring suit. Scarfs of striped knitted silk give a delightful color note to the practical suit, as do scarfs of brushed wool designed in two-color block effect. It is not unlikely that the soft felt hat, untrimmed except for a single large flower, that Paris introduced for early spring wear will be utilized all summer, for these soft felts are most comfortable for sport wear. Pin-check gingham is a favored material for little girls' summer playtime frocks. Many of these practical little frocks are made exceedingly smart by a good-taste placement of embroidery done in black, others are made very dainty yet more or less tailored in effect by collar and cuffs, belt and pocket flaps of white pique. One-piece, straight-line dresses of white and of colored linen are semitailored in effect, with pipings, collar, cuffs and belt of check gingham cut bias. The reverse combination is seen in dresses of check gingham piped and similarly trimmed with white or colored linen. MOCK GHAPEL EXERCISES (Continued from page 1) Prof. Gregory. Dean Miller was represented by Myles Paige in a class room recitation in Sociology. But the most interesting impersonation was that of Prof. Locke by Roland Heacock—who won the applause of the audience on every move. This character part was perfectly imitated in appearance, speech, and movement. The announcement of Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. Scott, concerning 50 per cent in- crease in board or. account of the lowering in prices of material was effectively given by William Nelson. Prof. Tunnell would have been forced to doubt that he was himself had he seen Miss Anna Scarlett announce the opening of a new course in English History, as would Professor Lochard when Peter Christian gave the announcement in French. The other characters represented were: Prof. Harvey by Miss Olive Bond, Prof. Pollard by John Nurse, Prof. Brown by Miss Hilda Hopewell, Dean Holmes by Miss Julia Alston, Prof. Johnson by Miss Pearl Herndon, and Miss Cook by Miss Harriet Robinson. The whole event was one of laughter and applause throughout. "KAZAN" AT DUNBAR What is declared to be one of the most remarkable photoplays of the season will be shown at the Dunbar Theatre when "Kazan," adapted from James Oliver Curwod's thrilling narrative of the same name, opens an engagement of two days, beginning Friday. It is a William N. Selig production with Jane Novak in the leading role, supported by Ben Deeley, William Ryno, Ben Haggerty and Edwin Wallock. The story was adapted for the screen and directed by Bertram Bracken. It is a gripping tale of a great malute dog named "Kazan," who becomes a killer following the murder of his master. He is the enemy of all mankind until he comes into contact with beautiful Joan Radisson, who befriends him and sets him free from his brutal surroundings. He joins a wolf pack, becomes its leader, and has an opportunity while leading the pack to show his appreciation to the one, who befriended him when the wolves swoop down on the girl and a man trekking through the wilds of the great snow country. He fights off the pack in what is said to be one of the most thrilling scenes ever pictured. Twice more he saves this same girl, but on these occasions it is from a human wolf. He also visits a terrible revenge upon the slayer of his master. In his faithfulness to his own mate, Kazan sets an example for a man and a girl to follow. The story, which ran in the Cosmopolitan Magazine, is one of the most charming and popular of James Oliver Curwood's works. In its picturization Bracken is said to have caught Curwood's inimitable spirit and understanding of the northland and accomplished a screen masterpiece. I. T. HATTON DEAD (Continued from page 1) ability, stands The Whitelaw Apartments, the Murray Casino and the Southern Aid Building, Norfolk, Richmond, Philadelphia, and Newport News, and many other cities of the south have magnificent examples of his handiwork. On November 29th, 1911, he married Miss Bertha B. Sayles and soon thereafter became one of the pioneer settlers of Lincoln, Md. About three years ago, he erected a new home and moved to Buena Vista, Md. and surrounded himself with most of the comforts of life. The last four years of Mr. Hatton's life marked the apex of his career, and his achievements in this short space of time remain behind him as monuments to his name. It was four years ago, at the age of 28 years, Mr. Hatton designed and built the Industrial Savings Bank. Two years later he designed and superintended the construction of the Whitelaw Hotel, The Southern Aid Building, and The Murray Bros. Building, the last named being Mr. Hatton's last work; in fact he was taken to his bed before the building was completed.
