The Washington Tribune Armstrong Wins Drill Contest $20 Prize Essay Contest "Why Theaters Owned and Operated by Our People Should be Supported" All the News That's Fit to Print VOL.I NO.3 COMPANY C MARCHES AS WINNER IN A HOT CONTEST Before the largest crowd that ever attended a drill contest here, Company C of Armstrong Manual Training School, under the leadership of Capt. Claude Terrell, marched off with a well earned victory in the annual competitive school drill, held Thursday afternoon at the American League Park. Mrs. Coralie Cook, a member of the Board of Education, pinned the prize a diamond studied medal, the emblem of the winner, upon the breast of Capt. Terrell. This was the greatest attraction of the city schools during the year and the colors of both of the schools were much in evidence in the vast crowd, which was estimated at 24,000 by Mr. Taylor of the Assistant Superintendent's office. Long before the schedule time, the people began filling the grand stand and at 12:40 when the first company marched into the park, nearly every seat was filled. The contest lasted until 5:30 and then the entire regiment marched into the park and went thru manoeuvres to entertain the crowd while the judges were getting their data together and deciding upon the winning company. posed of members of both of the com- schools, and directed by Prof. H. B. Wallace, furnished the music for this occasion. Master Leonard Ellsworth Madden, of Eleventh Street, as mascot of the band, dressed in boy scout uniform and carrying a gun was an attractive feature unprogrammed. Brief History of Drill Beginning in the spring of 1893 the first annual contest was held between the two platoons of the only company then of cadets, from the M Street High School, the companies have been augmented from year to year until now when there are ten companies in the regiment, five from each school. The present regiment is commanded by cadet Lt. Col. Theodore Dulany of Armstrong Manual Training School with a staff composed of Captain and Regimental Adjutant Oliver R. Rogers, Jr. Captain and Regimental Supply officer Vernon Rich. The Battalion commanders are Major Sylvester Blackwell and Major Alpeheus Booker. This was the 28th annual Contest. At the conclusion of the closely contested drill, which lasted more than five hours the regiment was reviewed by Major Webster of the local National Guard. The winning company under the able command of Capt. Terrell put up a magnificent exhibition and carried off the honors to Armstrong, which for the past three years has come out on the short end. The company sponsors were: Co. D, Miss Brinkley; Co. L, Miss Livera Milligan; Co. G, Miss Catherine Diamond; Co. F, Miss Gladys Peters; Co. K, Miss Josephine DeVaul; Co. A, Miss Audrey Marshall; Co. C, Miss Wilma Harvey; Co. E, Miss Eula Simms; Co. H., Miss Jeanette Thomas. 1st battalion sponsor, Miss Ada Bolton of Dunbar. Company H, of Dunbar, though not a competing company presented an excellent demonstration of modern warfare. Dr. Ballou, superintendent of the schools was present and occupied a seat in the box of Prof G. C. Wilkerson, asst. superintendent-elect of public schools. Prof Wilkerson's party included: his wife, Mrs. B. E. Wilkerson, his mother, Mrs. J. W. Wilkerson, Miss (Continued on page 8) strong PREACHER DENOUNCES PEONAGE Atlanta, Ga., May 23. Rev. John W. Ham, a prominent white minister of the Billy Sunday type, loudly condemned peonage within the law and peonage without as he put it, in a sermon delivered on this subject last Sunday in the Baptist Tabernacle. He stated: "We have ourselves to blame as a state; we are aiding and abetting the whole process. It gets us nowhere to cry, 'That isn't so,' or 'The indictment is too broad.' The facts stare us in the face. More than 400 lynchings to our credit and no punishment of the guilty." WOMAN DIES OF HEART FAILURE Mrs. Jennie Anderson of 447 6 1-2 St., S. W. died of heart failure and not by falling down the stairs as reported. Mrs. Anderson was 38 years old and had 4 children; 3 boys and 1 girl.

Barett was fatally clubbed and thrown over board by a gang of striking white seamen. Five men, all colored were clubbed by the striking whites.

DISCUSSES MARINE WITH DRAWAL FROM REPUBLIC The State and Navy heads are considering the withdrawal of Marines from Santo Domingo. The President-elect, who was prevented from taking office in 1916 by the Marines, is here now seeking the withdrawal of the troops. The Dominican republic situation is somewhat similar to that of Haiti, in that it is practically governed by the U. S. Marines. The Dominican representatives apparently have been more successful than the recent one from Haiti. The two republics join each other geographically and conditions prevailing in the island are very similar. Several missions from Haiti have visited this country during the last few years. $1000 REWARD FOR BRACELET The $1,000 reward for the recovery of the $25,000 diamond and sapphire bracelet lost in Savannah by Mrs. Horace Delisser of New York, and found by a colored boy has been paid and the bracelet returned to its owner. The boy found it on a street. He had considerable trouble in getting any one to advance him as much as $5 on it. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921 CLARENCE MARTIN NOT BEATEN TO DEATH AS REPORTED WHEN ARRESTED Clarence Martin, of 125 Pierce St. whose arrest created some excitement at the 8th Precinct Station Monday afternoon, was tried and pleaded guilty in Police Court, Thursday morning. He was fined $10 on the charge of being drunk, $10 for assault and disorder, and given 60 days for resisting arrest and assault on an officer. The impression went out that he had died, but this was wholly untrue. After being arrested Martin was carried to the Freedmen's Hospital to be treated for a cut on his head, sustained in his fight while resisting arrest; upon finding that he was also suffering from alcoholism, he was carried to the Washington Asylum Hospital for treatment. It was found at the hospital that, Martin had been drinking Alchorub and some other drink. It required TEACHERS AT DUNBAR SEEK APPOINTMENT Since the appointment of Prof. Garnett C. Wilkerson to succeed Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, as assistant superintendent of schools, the question of Prof. Wilkerson's successor is one in which the faculty of Dunbar is vitally interested. A letter has been circulated among the members of the faculty calling their attention to this fact and a meeting was called for Friday to vote on the person or persons, to fill the vacancy. Precedent has already established this popular idea of democratic government and Dr. E. A. Clark, principal of the Miner Normal School was selected by this method as was Dr. Newton of the Western High school. With these recent examples before them the teachers of Dunbar feel that they should have the same opportunity as was given the teachers of the two schools just named. The process of elimination will be used until one teacher is elected and this person's name will be presented to the school board for nomination as principal to succeed Prof. Wilkerson, who is to assume his new duties September first. SEVEN KILLED BY STORM WILSON, N. C., May—Seven colored people were injured, one of them seriously, when a house on the Hiram Walston farm on Contentnea creek, near here, was blown down during a terrific wind and rain storm, which visited Wilson county. Outhouses and fences were blown down and trees uprooted in different sections of the county. It is believed the damage to crops will be only slight because of the absence of hail. DECLARED INSANE George Jackson, was declared of unsound mind Friday by a jury in Criminal Division 2 before Justice Bailey. He is under indictment for murder in the first degree in connection with the death of his niece, Agnes Jackson, ten years old, April 10, 1920. The prisoner will be transferred to the Government Hospital for the Insane. The Stylus society, November 1915 under Professors A. L. K.

In a statement given out by him, it is stated he disclaimed any knowledge of the affair which took place Monday evening. The Tribune assigned a special reporter to this case and publishes here-with the reporter's findings: Clarence Martin has served any number of terms in the jail here for being drunk and resisting arrest. His mother, Mrs. Maggie Martin of 125 Pierce St. who works at the Yale Laundry, stated that she has had much trouble with her son because his fondness for drinking. She stated that he was a very powerful man in strength. He assisted her very little in her support. Upon being delivered to the District jail, Martin was immediately assigned to his regular task, which carried the honor of trusty. FRENCH HIGH COMMISSIONER LECTURES HERE "France and her relations with other countries" was the subject of a very instructive address, by Mr. Vincent de Weirzlicke, French High Commissioner, at the Dunbar High School Tuesday afternoon, to the student body. The Commissioner is in this country to help promote better relations between France and America and in his lecture, France, and her present position was beautifully portrayed in the best of English. Mr. de Weirzlicke was quite positive in his belief that the allies, and the allies only, should have the settling of the Siliean question. He said: "Germany cannot be trusted to carry out her promises and should therefore have no say whatever, in this question." The present suffering of France was related in a stirring story full of pathos, which affected those present. America was given due credit for the part, yea the large part she filled in the winning of the war. In his description of this, the High Commissioner's efforts in America was in evidence. It was remarkable, how fluently he spoke the English language.

W. was severely burned about her face, arms and body Monday while cooking in her home, when a pan of grease on the stove became ignited. Her clothing caught fire and the blaze quickly spread over her body. Becoming confused, she began screaming which attracted the attention of Mr. James Taylor, a neighbor. Several fire companies responded to a general alarm. The fire did not damage the contents of the house. Mrs. Harrington was rushed to the Casualty Hospital for treatment and later removed to Freedman hospital Her condition was considered critical but the doctors stated she had good chances of recovering. RECEIVES DIAMOND PIN FOR SINGING Master Lenoir Cook, of this city, was presented with a handsome diamond, set in platinum, by an unknown young white woman after he had finished singing "Mammy" by special request at the Convention for Amity Between the White and Colored Races which was recently held in this city. The song was written by the boy's uncle, William Marvin Cook, and was dedicated to the latter's mother, whom the family all called "Mam." The lyrics were written by Lester A. Walton of New York City. Master Lenoir Cook is thirteen years old, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook of 2224 Sixth St. N. W., Washington D. C. Ever since he reached the age of three, he has shown remarkable talent for singing. The only training which he has had thus far to develop his voice has been given by his father, who acts as accompanist whenever he sings. SHOOTS DEPUTY Shot by Posse Atlanta—"Ross" Rosser, accused of shooting and fatally wounding Deputy Sheriff Kempton of Coweta county, was shot to death near Grantville late today by a posse which opened fire, it was declared, after Rosser fired two shots at his pursuers. Deputy Kempton died today. RACE QUESTION TAKEN UP BY NOTED PERSIAN "Education is the sure remedy for prejudices that exist between races and nations," was a thought brought out in the lecture of Mr. Jenabe Fazel Mazandarant, a Persian, at the Dunbar High School, Wednesday morning, before the student body on "Modern Education in Persia." Mr. Mazandarant was introduced by Mr. Albert Vail of Chicago, who told of the service that is given to the cause of education and the powerful drive against prejudice that Mr. Mazandarant is making while in America. By giving the children the proper education, in the course of time prejudice would be eliminated, is the belief of Mr. Mazandarant.

Woodson, chairman of the North East Boundary Citizens Association, thru constant touch with the District Commissioners, have secured a number of improvements in the plans as originally prepared by the Municipal Architect for their new building. A pneumatic pressure tank will be installed to make possible toilets on the upper floors; facilities for a kindergarten have been provided for. No provisions were made for teaching sewing, but a specially equipped room for this will be provided. A special equipment fund of $1000 was requisitioned for Burrville school for housekeeping and cooking school, a model suite of rooms, drawing room, living room, kitchen, and bed room that will be thoroughly equipped; and the girls will be taught the most modern and scientific methods of the gentle art of housekeeping. The ravine to the east of the school will be filled in and graded at the cost of several thousand dollars. The school authorities are now soliciting parents to send in the name of prospective pupils for the kindergarten class for next fall; this is being done because no classes will be started unless attendance for them are assured. The community is fortunate in having a professional architect to advise them in the civic improvements. Mr. H. D. Woodson and the Vaugh have opened offices in the city as architects. What Smart Dressed Ladies Are Wearing What Smart Dressed Ladies Are Wearing Paris has set its stamp of approval on the corseted figure by persistently presenting for some months past designs that more definitely define the figure than did the models of last season. The idea is not to encourage a return to the stiffly boned corset of several years ago, but to encourage the wearing of a corset developed on soft supple lines, a corset that gently confines the figure and insures a natural, graceful posture, at the same time permitting of ease and freedom of movement. More often this corset is of tricot than of any other material, for tricot, being a knitted fabric, has the necessary "give" and at the same time clings to the figure. Dotted swiss in all the prevailing colors is being used for midsummer dresses now in the making. This is as equally true of models for little tots as it is of smart new styles for young girls and women who are determined to stay young. Batiste and organdie embroidery are favored for trimming and ribbon velvet for sashes of girdle belts. Large picture hats for dress wear are developed in black, dark brown and gray lace, the greater preference being quite materially for black, though the colored hats are favored by the women who can afford more than one such milinery creation. These hats are usually on draped lines and are flower trimmed. Lace in metal effect and dyed after the manner of French designers plays a prominent part in the exquisite new negligees recently presented by a foremost American creator of smart apparel. Negligees entirely of lace prevail, though there are some lovely models in brocade and other fabrics for which lace in some form serves as the trimming. DISCARD HOOK AND LINE FOR SPADES IS THE LATEST FORM OF FISHING DISCARD HOOK AND LINE FOR SPADES IS THE LATEST FORM OF FISHING New Smyrna, Fla.—No more long hours of waiting for fish to bite in this man's town. No more do the anglers gather up their hooks and sinkers. But instead they get all the farm implements that are available and dig for their catch instead of trusting their luck in the uncertain streams. Such conditions prevail in Florida where large numbers of mud fish are found. This queer member of the funny tribe inhabit streams or ponds which have mud banks or bottoms, is black and weighs up to five or six pounds. When the water in the pond evaporates as it does during certain seasons of the year, leaving only a mass of mud which on the surface is practically dry, it doesn't worry the fish at all. They merely burrow into the mud and wait for rain and apparently continue to live as long as the earth is wet. They are fished for mostly by the colored people in that section. The fish is edible, but is not a favorite because of its stringy and coarse flesh. FRELINGHUYSEN'S EXERCISES STARTED FRIDAY NIGHT Class Day exercises at Lincoln Temple, 11th and R streets, northwest, Friday, May 27th, at eight o'clock, marked the beginning of Commencement week at the Frelinghuysen University. The baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, at Shiloh Baptist Church, L street between 16th and 17th streets, northwest, Sunday evening, May 29th, at eight o'clock; on Tuesday evening the alumni reunion and reception will be held at the University Building, 1800 Vermont Avenue, and the graduating exercises will take place at the Dunbar High School, First and N streets, N.W., Thursday evening, June 2nd, at eight o'clock. The address to the graduating classes will be delivered by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. The musical program for the occasion will be under the direction of W. Scott Mayo. TRIP AROUND THE WORLD AT THE HOWARD TRIP AROUND THE WORLD AT THE HOWARD By Jay Bee Notwithstanding the fact that this production had been seen here recently. Billy King, one of Washington's favorite comedians, carried an enthusiastic audience, which included His Excellency, the President of Liberia, with him on his "Trip Around the World." The ginger dancing and the voluminous singing of a well trained chorus, composed of many beautiful girls, that were really good to see and the gorgeous costumes, representing the various nations were the distinctive features of the show. The many comedy situations were capably taken care of Kid Bumpsky, Marshall Rodgers and the inimitable Billy, with his inevitable cigar. These gentlemen easily outdistanced the average run of fun-makers. Berlina Blanks, Maybele Brown and a score of others, who will be remembered for their clever work in other shows seen here, were warmly greeted when they made their appearances. It is a matter of conjecture to determine which of the many catchy song numbers were the more favorably received. They were all gloriously done amid scenes of the most radiant splendor. The various scenes, with electrical effects of the highest order, vividly reproducing panoramic views of China, Japan, Turkey and the other countries were truly beautiful to behold and spontaneously provoked the generous applause of a very appreciative audience. The quartette and octette scored heavily in their renditions of popular melodies and completely carried the entire house by storm. They worked over time in their efforts to allay the enthusiastic upheaval of their hearers. "Rastus" Lee and James Thomas are soft shoe dancers of exceptional ability and really "strutted their material" (whatever that means). Madame Margaret Scott's offerings of "L' Estasi" and "Bleeding Moon" were exceedingly rare exhibitions of vocal accomplishments and the occasion of her appearance brought forth rounds of hearty applause. The Bull Fight, staged in this production is one of the most mirth-provoking pieces that has been seen here for some time and afforded an excellent opportunity to see our Billy at his best. Billy's antics furnished wholesome humor at the rate of a laugh a minute. CHANGES IN IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION CHANGES IN IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION Important changes in existing immigration laws are proposed in a bill (H. R. 4705), which has been sent to the President for his signature. The act provides: That the number of aliens of any nationality, who may be admitted under the immigration laws of the United States in any fiscal year shall be limited to 3 per centum of the number of foreign persons of such nationality resident in the United States as determined by the United States census of 1910; with certain exceptions. Prior to 1882, when the Federal Government first assumed definite control of immigration, the movement was practically unregulated, and while the Congress gave some consideration to the subject, it took no action. The policy of excluding Chinese immigration was adopted in 1882, and it is significant that, the first restrictive measure affected a darker skinned people. The Chinese exclusion act was followed some years later by the so called "barred zone" provision of the immigration act of 1917. This provision restricts with certain exceptions the inhabitants of, India, Siam, Indo-China, parts of Siberia, Afghanistan and Arabia, the islands of Java, Sumatra and Ceylon. Most of whom are of the darker Asiatic type. Immigration from Mexico is not very large, but it plays an important part in the labor supply of the Southwest. The West Indies, including Cuba, Jamaica, and other islands, have become quite an important source of immigration in recent years, the total admissions during the past twenty years being 200,000. The peoples chiefly represented in this movement are African (black), who came mainly from Jamaica and the Bahamas. As in the case of the Mexican immigration, many of those coming from the West Indies are seasonable laborers, who find employment in Florida; but a considerable number stay more or less in New York, Massachusetts, and other eastern States. Most of those coming from Africa, have been European stock although a few natives have joined in the movement. During the past two decades, about 750 have come to these shores. The Pacific Coast States continue to be the destination of nearly all of the Japanese immigrants, who are fortunate enough to reach the mainland of this country. Seemingly, in the race for white supremacy, all restrictive measures have prohibited an influx of dark skinned peoples into this country. Nearly 90 per cent of our alien immigration has come from Europe. Its distribution has been confined to the North, East, and Western sections of this country. Few southern States have more than one per cent of foreign born; take the State of South Carolina. A few years ago South Carolina conducted an experiment of bringing in, two ship loads of "carefully selected" immigrants selected on the other side—by her own State officials—landed at her port, and "intelligently distributed" by being located in the factories and on the farms of South Carolina. Within a year less than 5 per cent were within the State, and at the end of a few years, there was not one in the State of South Carolina. What is true of South Carolina, is true of most southern states. The European immigrant will not stay in the south land to be exploited. If American conditions increase the propensity for peonage and other crimes, the restrictive features of this act will aid materially in helping us first to clean out those institutions whose policies and traditions are not in harmony with the ideals of Americans citizenship. ATLANTA "Y" SUGCEEDING IN CAMPAIGN ATLANTA "Y" SUGCEEDING IN CAMPAIGN Atlanta, Ga.—The Atlanta Y. M. C. A. Campaign for more members has met with success. The rivalry of the various teams has enlivened the canvassing greatly. The Pilgrim Insurance Co. team stands at the head of the list, with the Atlanta Mutual a close second. The Methodist Ministers Team continued ahead of the Baptist Ministers. Chairman Driskell is very enthusiastic over the results obtained. Miss Blanche Walton, the talented musical directress of the show ably assisted by the entire personnel of the Famous Howard Theatre orchestra very effectively handled the scores of song numbers. The entire show, a well organized aggregation of excellent singers, ginger dancers and versatile comedians, is beyond description. In the language of the street, "It's a Real Dog." Heed the "GO TO SCHOOL MOVEMENT" by attending our private classes at the Capitol Institute 1800 11th St., N. W., a private school for beginners, preparatory for College, and Civil Service. W. J.

The Business men of Washington have felt the power of The Washington Tribune already and feel that it marks a forward step for the commercial interests of the District. A CIGARETTE I was lying in a dug-out almost dying for a smoke; I did not have the "makins" and besides, my arm was broke. Having run out of tobacco, I had given up all hope. For a cigarette I would have given away ten bars of soap. As I lay there ruminating, trying vainly to forget, why! up comes a fellow saying, "Won't you havea cigarette?" Do not ask if I accepted, or declined it from mere pride? That fellow was an angel and he saved my life besides. His wings he must have hidden underneath his big trench coat; but when I told him that he had them, Say! I got that fellow's goat. Oh! If e'er I go to heaven and that angel don't forget, I know I'll hear him saying, "Won't you have a cigarette?" —Edward J.

ALL GAMES PLAYED ON THE MONUMENT GROUNDS Diamond No. 8. Called at 5 P. M. ATHLETICS AND RED GAPS DIVIDE HONORS The Washington Athletics and the Red Caps divided a double bill at Union League Park Sunday afternoon. The Red Caps taking the first game, 6 to 1 and the Athletics the second 10 to 3. The feature of the first game was a long running catch by Reed of the Red Caps. The Red Caps scored one in the first on Adam's walk, Payne sacrifice, and Punch's wild pitch. One in the second; Fields walked and took third on Johnson's right field single and scored on Lewis' perfectpeg to second; B. Fells and Dean stood looking at each other. The Athletics scored their lone talley in the fifth when J. Johnson rapped off a three bagger, which was followed by Montgomery's single. The Second Game The Red Caps lost a chance to get in lead in the beginning of the second game when Carrol singled and stole second; taking third on Payne's sacrifice. Their hopes ended when Reed struck out for the third out on the squeeze play. The Athletics bunched three hits in the first inning; a wild pitch let in three runs. Bunching five more hits in their half of the fifth for four runs. B. Fells got a single in the third and stole second, third and later stole home. This feature more than atoned for his error in the same inning. Seven of the Athletics 13 hits were infield singles.

He kept the outfield aggregation uneasy. Enental League n, Sec. Wm. H. Davis, Treas. THE MONUMENT GROUNDS Called at 5 P. M. CENSUS 10, WAR 9 Tuesday game between War and Census increased their percentage by remaining at the head of the League It shows that under the management of Mr. Shade who holds the reins management of that Club that it is a management of that Club that it is a fast contender for the Loving Cup. GAME POSTPONED The game between Treasury and Bureau for Wednesday was called off on the account of Wet Grounds. It is to be regretted that this occurred as we were looking for one of the best games this season. Watch for the Loving Cup that is to be given to the Club winning the Championship in the Colored Departmental League. This cup will be in the window of the Washington Tribune, on You Street. Go and see it. Great crowds continually to come to the games of the League. It is hoped that if you have not availed yourselves of the opportunity come and see what your Department is doing. TREASURY DEFEATS BLACK SOCKS Monday, May 22nd on No. 6 Diamond, the Treasury Dept. defeated the Vienna Black Socks in a fast game by the score of 6 to 4. Captain Jack Harris of the Treasury Dept. came to bat with the score tied 4-4 and with one on, hit a home run. The game was won in the eighth when Jack Harris made another home run. Another feature was a running catch in right field. Col. Strothers, prominent business man and baseball promoter of Harrisburgh, Pa., was an interested spectator at the Sunday Buffalo-Braves game. DUNBAR COACH REFUTES ARMSTRONG'S CLAIM May 21, 1921 Sporting Editor, The Tribune: Please publish this "Correction." Armstrong has no claim whatsoever to the Interscholastic, D. C. Championship. Dunbar won that at the Penn Relay Carnival when she defeated McKinley Tech, the white High Champions. Since then at the Howard open meet, Dunbar defeated both Armstrong and Bordentown—Armstrong being a poor third. The only reason Armstrong won at the Dual meet was because she ran against a substitute team from Dunbar. "Humpty" Brown the 440 yard interscholastic champion and the best man on Dunbar's relay, could not run because of poor condition, and so Clark, a sub. ran. We don't mind Armstrong feeling elated over her relay victory as it's her first in nine years, but her claim to any championship is entirely unfounded. expectantly, W. M.

Sunday in time to play in the second game against the Stars and his presence was greatly needed. Two local boys were used against the Braves by the Buffalo Stars. They sent Reds Johnson to the mound and Dick Dandridge played the outfield. Scrappy Brown, the Braves' clever shortstop, was sadly missing in last Sunday's game. However, Scrappy was back on the job Monday and will be hereafter. AFTER THE GAME BEAT IT OVER TO Wilson & Bernard's 1906 7th St., N. W. Sandwiches and Soft Drinks of all Kinds RENTALS" G. H.

BARN DANGERIOT OF FUN The "Mi-Dears" one of our newest social clubs, composed entirely of ladies, entertained several hundred of their friends at a Novelty Barn Dance in the Murray Casino last Tuesday evening and it was a huge success. From the time that "Cholly" Lee the omnipotent keeper of the seals and guardian of the Casino, opened the doors until the International Jazzers crooned "Home, Sweet Home," there was not a single dull moment. Everybody pranced like "kiddies." Everyone took an active interest in the affair and a large majority of the girls who attended the affair being goured in neat ginghams and "sun downs" really presented a strikingly vivid reproduction of the "good d schools." A hay pile, an effective display of electrical genius was placed in the center of the hall and soft vari-colored lights in contrast to a full moon, presented a most beautiful moonlight scene. This hay pile afforded an excellent opportunity for many to rest up at intervals, for nearly all of the dances were of the "Virginia Reel" variety. The club members includes: Francena Foote, Hattie Jackson, Virginia Fletcher, Viola Jackson and Corinne A. Williams. 125 BUSINESS MEN VISIT TUSKEGEE Tuskegee, Ala—Headed by J. P.

"SHUFFLE ALONG HITS BROADWAY By Chas. S. Johnson Contrary to expectations and prophesies of a number of Washington critics "Shuffle Along," which had its initial workout of two weeks in the Howard Theatre, went "Over the Top" in a blaze of glory at Cortis, 63rd St., Music Hall, New York City, and if press reports and the enthusiastic reception accorded them both on Sunday night at the private performance, attended by New York City's leading theatrical producers and critics, and the public performance on Monday night, composed chiefly of Broadway's Show fanatics, give significance of anything at all we can safely foresee another triumph for our people in the realm of the footlights. As was expected Lottie Gee, credited by several of New York's leading newsies as "America's leading Negro Prima Donna" made a decided hit with her peculiarly fascinating soprano which has made her famous throut variety circles in this country and Europe. Those skeptical as to Miss Gertrude Saunder's ability to "make good" on Broadway, can now banish all doubts, as from the sound of the first strains of the introduction, till the last strains of "I'm Craving for that Kind of Love" and "Daddy," applause after applause bore evidence of the high appreciation of her work. "Simply full of jazz" was another of her numbers which scored heavily she and her "syncopated steppers" taking four encores easily. Roger Matthews showed marked improvement in his work and stood out with Misses Saunders and Gee in rendering "Gypsie Blues" and the song hit of the show "Love will find a Way." It is needless to comment on the enthusiastic reception accorded Sissle and Blake and Miller and Lyles, as they have always held their own as "Big Time" favorites. The outstanding features of the work of these Broadway Stars was the Boxing Specialty and rendition of Oriental Blues, Blake's piano specialty and the rendition by Noble Sissle of the Late Jas. Europe's number "Life of a patrol out in No Man's Land." Much success in putting over "Oriental Blues" must be attributed to the able assistants to Messrs Sissle and Lyles in the persons of Misses Marguerite Weaver, Ruth Seward, Beatrice Williams, Theresa West, and Mamie Lewis. Each gorgeously gowned in Oriental Costumes received their share of individual applause as they appeared on the stage. Of the Chorus numbers, "Bandana Days," led by Arthur Porter of the "Palm Beach Four," and ably backed by a bevy of well selected girls in beautiful, red and white suits, with "Uncle Sam" beavers matching, easily stood out. The intricate dance numbers which accompanied the rendition of this number easily "scored big." Other terpschorean numbers "looming big" were Chas. Davis and "Bob" Williams as "Uncle Tom" and "Old Black Joe" respectively, and the "Balto Buzz" dance ereation introduced by Billy Andrews and Mildred Brown. The song hit "Shuffle Along" was another sensational number. The most notable and appreciative changes were the insertion of the "Palm Beach Four," a former Keith Production as the Board of Aldermen which affords the audience an opportunity to enjoy melody and harmony which ranks with the best heard on Broadway, and the interchanging of parts by Lawrence Deas and Noble Sissle. It can be safely said that Mr. Deas is easily the best suited in the role. He now assumes the role of "The Detective." A grave mistake was noted on the program, that of crediting the staging of this stupendous production to Mr. Cort's, manager, when in reality our own Lawrence Deas, is directly responsible for the excellent stage deportment in general of which this company can rightfully boast. Another outstanding feature was the twenty piece orchestra composed of some of the best musicians of our race and who can render Yodrey harmony as he alone will have it. Among this talented aggregation those best known to Washingtonians were Wm. Carroll, Caldwell, Leonard Jeter, Hall Johnson and "Pee wee" Conway. The "hit" made by the entire company was evidenced by the five or six encores received at the finale from an audience numbering nearly 3000 practically all of whom remained seated until the final drop of the curtain. The New York World paid the company a flattering compliment which easily sums up the sentiments expressed by some of our best crit- ics: "The score is superbly handled and the pretty settings and exquisite song numbers rank well up alongside the best the Musical Comedy stage has offered in New York this season." THEATER NOTES Byron Bros. have closed with the Dave Marion Show and will open in Philadelphia at the Gibson Standard this week. Harper and Blanks are in Philadelphia where they are preparing to play the extensive bookings of the Zubalaski time. The Billy King Co. opens the week of the 30th at the Avenue Grand, Chicago for an indefinite stay. The entire company of the Billy King Show joined the Colored Actors Union. Billy King bought $7000 worth of costumes and $6000 worth of new scenery, which will have its first display in Billy's new show. The new show will open at the Avenue Grand, Chicago. MID-CITY The week's offering here comprises the well known team of Porter and Porter, who cleaned up in a novelty singing and dancing numbers. Gross and McClennon, formerly with the Williams and Walker and "Doctor Beans of Boston" Shows closed in regular big time style. BLUE MOUSE Cozy and Ethel Dudley opened in a new revised act, "A Brick Bat Party" a clean bit of clever comedy songs and dances and were well received. Gresham and Martin, Leroy Gresham, better known as "Kike" and Sarah Martin, of the Sam Gray and Virginia Liston Co. went over big in one of Boots Hopes snappy playlets, "The Civil War Sergeants and the 1921 Vamp." Songs and patter by "Boots" The sketch is very well put over. FORAKER HAS ALL-STAR BILL "The Kid," Charlie Chaplin's latest six reel screen success, in which little Jackie Coogan shares honors. Al Majors a very clever magician and Butter Beans and Susie were the chief reasons of the vast crowds that filled the house to its capacity. Al Majors opened with a card manipulation stunt that is a very neat demonstration of illusion. His Chinese ring experiment and wine experiment were far different from anything that has been seen here for some time. His act furnished quite a pleasant evennig's diversion and was well received. Edwards and Edwards, better known as "Butter Beans" and Susie closed the bill. Their opening number, the "Hellish Rag," a brand new bit of syncopation was warmly applauded. Interspercing their song numbers were terse bits of comedy on current topics that kept the audience hysterical with laughter. The parody on "Does She?" and the closing number "Hell No!" were really two knock-outs. Next week—Russell and Carroll in character portrayals; Dade and Dade, a red-hot singing and dancing team. MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD FOR THE LATE MME. WALKER Memorial services were held by the Madame C. J. Walker Union of which Mrs. Gertrude Shelvy is president, and Mrs. Eleanor B. Reed is secretary, in memory of Madame C. J. Walker at Plymouth Congregational Church, Sunday evening, May 22, 1921, at eight o'clock.

Among the prominent persons who were present and made short remarks were Mrs. Leila Walker-Wilson, daughter of the late Madame Walker; Dr. Emmett J. Scott; and a representative from the Madame C. J. Walker Company, of Indianapolis, Indiana, who was sent by Lawyer F. B. Ransom, the Manager, on account of his being unable to be present.

Read these startling accounts of brutalities that have been perpetrated on the race by the white South. 6 (Continued from last week) C. THE NEGRO DRIVEN OUT BY ORGANIZED LAW- LESSNESS 1. A white man in this County received the following notice in January, 1921: "NOTICE" "To Mr. _____ you had better keep Negroes out of this house of yours if you don't everything you have got will be burned down to the ground." Terrorizing Railroad Laborers Case No. 27. 2. Negroes were being worked on a railroad in this County. A small mob visited the camp in February, 1921. They notified the white foreman and the Negroes that if they continued to work, while white men wanted jobs, they would be mobbed. A number of the Negroes were frightened away. The sheriff of the county protests that there was no danger. This occurred January, 1921. COUNTY NO. 11 Beating and Coffins Cases Nos. 28 and 29. 3. December 31, 1920, a Negro living in this County was taken from his home and badly beaten. The same month, small coffins gruesomely painted, one marked with a skull and cross bones, were left on the porches of two Negro homes. Ku Klux Klan Cases Nos. 30-60. 4. January, 1921, Negroes in one district of this county were notified that no Negroes would be permitted to remain in that district. At 2 A. M., January 12th, a Negro living in this district was called from his bed by unknown parties. They asked him if he had made threats against the Ku Klux Klan. He answered "No." He was informed that he would be given until Saturday night to leave the district; that if he did not leave, there would probably be war against him. They asked him if he had seen the notice posted on the nearby Negro school house and said that notice meant all Negroes must leave, and that they had notified thirty Negro families that night. No Negroes were to be permitted to remain in the district. Firing two shots in the air, the parties left. NEGROES MUST LEAVE The Notice reads: "Notice to the Colored people of— if you haven't got a job you had better get one at once. If you are not done gathering your crop you had better finish and settle your account. If you are disposing of your crop you had better be at home by dark, if you haven't got a lawful excuse for being out." "WHITE CAPS" Case No. 61 The same night, the home of another Negro farmer was fired into, the shot striking the ceiling just above the head of the bed. The Negro was out of the house at the time. The Governor sent the Sheriff of the county a wire calling attention to the charges against the Ku Klux Klan and saying: "Negroes have been called from their homes, shots fired, threats made to do them physical in- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921 jury, if they had not left by night. I have four affidavits of Negroes who have never been in court and some of whom own their homes. This is an outrage and I beg that you will go into this district this afternoon and tonight with ample force not only to protect these Negroes, but for the purpose of making such a display as will deter these worthless white people from continuing their campaign of terror." January 17th, the sheriff replied by letter: "Pursuant to your telegram, I have gone to the place directed by you and have made an investigation of the trouble credited to the Ku Klux Klan, and I find it is the general belief that it is not the Ku Klux Klan, but some lawless element in the community there causing the trouble. "As best I can find out, the Ku Klux Klan is also conducting an investigation for the purpose of ascertaining who the parties are, in order that the law may be vindicated." "I shall keep in touch with the matter and cooperate with the citizens of the community affected, and shall do all within my power to protect the citizens." KU KLUX KLAN SEAL ON LETTER OF PUBLIC OFFICIAL The sheriff's letter bears the seal of the Ku Klux Klan and this endorsement—"Endorsed by Cameron Klan—No 17—Realm of Georgia." COUNTY NO. 13 5. A Negro was killed without excuse, it is said by a deputy officer in this County in the latter part of 1920. A Negro minister in preaching the funeral said; "that some line of protection for the lives and property of Negroes should be formed." As a result, leading Negroes were ordered to leave the place, or suffer the consequences. Most of them left. Some armed themselves and remained. The better element of whites protected them. TOWN ACTS A Georgia newspaper commenting said: "The city of——has redeemed itself in the eyes of the people. The decision of the officers there brought relief to the bewildered blacks who had committed no crime at all, except that it is criminal to the lawless set of any community that a Negro show the slightest inclination to protect himself." "All of these outbreaks, we believe, are the echoes from the discordant notes of the Ku Klux Klan, though they may be contrary to the intents, as advertised of that mysterious and useless organization." COUNTY NO. 14 Case No. 62. 6. (a) A Negro lodge room was dynamited in this county in February or March, 1921. In response to the Governor's proposal to offer a reward, the sheriff advises, "As yet, no arrests have been made, nor has any evidence been brought out which points to the guilty parties; however, I have been and am following up any leads that I get in this connection, and I believe that the best results could be had in bringing the guilty parties to justice by working quietly and I know that local conditions will not be improved by an offer of reward at this time." (b) The Grand Master of Negro Masons, for Georgia, March 9, 1921, wrote: "I am very sorry to learn of the uncalled for trouble in your community, as the burning of halls, etc. I know it is hard, yet I would advise the brothers to put their trust in God, and hold their meetings in the day time, and attend to their business in a quiet and brotherly way. Do not hold long meetings and attend only to Masonic matters, which I know you always do, and nothing else." "I do not think that the white people in your community object to the colored Masons meeting to prepare, in their humble way, to care for the sick and bury the dead. I know that our people in the rural districts are having a hard time, which, I hope, 'God in His good judgement' will adjust." 7. (a) January, 1920, the Negroes living in one district of this County, were threatened. Their churches, school houses and homes were burned. Several families were driven out of the community. A reward was offered by the county commissioners and the sheriff was instructed to get the guilty parties. None were caught and convicted but the trouble subsided. WHOLESALE DRIVE In January, 1921. conditions in this County were worse than ever. Houses occupied by Negroes, some of whom own their farms, were posted with threatening notices. Letters ordering them to leave were sent them through the mails. In a week, fifty-one Negroes, men women and children fled to a nearby town, where they had to be supported by charity. The notice stated that no Negro would be allowed to live from the river north of the town to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Case No.115 In September, a Negro received through the mails a notice saying: "A few words is easy understood you gather up your crop and leave this country there is plenty of places will sute you better than here, if you don't we will see after you later i will pass there again." Case No.116 Another Negro found in his mail you all 'niggers' 15 days to get from box a notice saying: "We only give here." Case No.117 One received a notice which read: “get away and get on and old _____ get away I don't give a dam what_____ says you Beter get—I going to blow up old _____ dam you.” Case No.118 "We have agreed to give you just 10 days to leave in and if you don't get out in 10 days we wont give you no further warning." Another Notice Read: Case No.119 "Well the Dam Negro better get away from here and get away in a hurry you better away you dam Negro you and old——al the dam Negro is doing to i am going to damite you all up i dont care what——say—you tell old——and——to get out—after the first of April no dam Negro must not be seen this side of the river old——and——I dont care what——says he can have all the guns he wants I dont fere him and no other dam man they are all men just like me." WHITE COURAGE: A white man, a leading citizen, on whose plantation a number of the Negroes worked, had promised them protection. He gave them arms. He went to the man, whom he suspected to be at the bottom of the trouble and warned him that if a Ngreo on his place was harmed, he would neither eat, nor sleep until he had treated that man as he would treat a rattle snake. None of his Negroes were actually harmed, but most of the Negroes later left his place. ARSON THREATENED Another white farmer living in this County, stated publicly that he would protect the Negroes on his place. A letter threatening to burn his home and cotton gin was received by him. LEADERS KNOWN (c) The name of the man commonly reported to be the leader in this lawlessness in this County is known. Case No.120 8. (a) Negroes working in a plant in this Coutnry were ordered to leave. An effort was made to dynamite their sleeping quarters at the company's camp. Armed guards, were stationed there. One fired at the gang who attempted to light the fuse to the dynamite under the quarters. The company procured guns and ammunition for the protection of their hands. (b) In this County, a man and his brother are commonly reported to be the leaders in lawlessness. 9. The gang which attacked the Company Camp in County No. 16, came from this County, where one man is reported to be the leader. County No. 18 10. No Negroes remain in this County. County No. 20 11. The Negroes have gone from this County. D. THE NEGRO SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ACTS OF CRUELTY County No. 21 A THRIFTY NEGRO Cases Nos. 121 to 123 1. Near a small town in this County a Negro was born fifty-eight or sixty years ago. By work, he accumulated a little money, with which, ten years ago, he bought a farm of 14 acres, where he lived with his wife and twelve children. Three of his daughters were educated. They were school teachers. A three-room house was on the farm. The farm was well stocked, the Negro owning in 1919 outright five mules, and having made payments on the horse, a cow and fifty-five hogs. During the war with Germany, this Negro family bought approximately $1000 worth of liberty bonds and thrift stamps. The Negro headed an organization of Negroes, who raised between $10,000 and $11,000 for liberty bonds. His work was highly praised by newspapers at the time. A white man, who can neither read nor write, owns a farm adjoining the farm of the Negro. When the articles praising the man for his work appeared, the white man remarked: "—'s getting too damned prosperous and biggity for a 'Nigger.'" Trouble began. A LINE DISPUTE The white man had his land processioned. The Negro had no representative present. The processioners ran the man's line twenty-five feet over the Negro's line, across a terrace which had been there since the Negro was a child working for the family, from whom he bought the land. The deed given to him covered the land to this terrace. The white man crossed the terrace, drove stakes along the new line and warned the Negro not to cross the line. The Negro disregarded the warning and continued to plow the terrace, as he had been doing since boyhood. Blacks and whites from the country crowd the town Saturday afternoons. One Saturday, the fall of 1919, the Negro with his three daughters and son, came to town. The town marshall approached the Negro in the street and said: "I have a warrant for you." The Negro answered: "Mr. _____, what have I done? Read your warrant." The Marshal replied with an oath that he would rather kill the Negro than read the warrant. Here the evidence varies. The Negro had a stick in his hand. Some say thatthe marshal, who is large and powerful, grabbed, the stick and struck the Negro in the face with a pistol, knocking him down. Others state the Negro, raising his stick, backed away, when the marshal rushed in and struck him to the ground with his pistol. Several other white men rushed upon him and began to choke and beat him. Two of his daughters started to him. A man kicked one girl in the stomach. The other reached her father and began to wipe the blood from his face. The three were quickly overpowered. The third daughter and the son were caught. All were locked in jail. The girl who was kicked was menstruating. The blow made her deathly sick. She lay in jail moaning and begging that something be done for her, and her father, who was bleeding badly from his wounds. The sheriff locked them in and left them without medical attention and ignorant of the charge against them. Next morning the Norse learned in the chain gang, when the case should come up for trial. The man, his daughters and son were tried in the Superior Court. The father was sentenced to serve twelve months in the chain gang and pay a fine of $250.00. The girls were fined $50.00 each. The son was fined $100.00. The Negro paid the fine of his children. The man's smaller children and his wife were in his home, while he was in jail. A mob lead by the town marshal went to the house, kicked the door and demanded admittance, then shot up the house and went away. This was night. WOMAN AND CHILDREN TERRORIZED Next morning, the woman with her children, fled from her home, never to return. circuit, who informed them, it is charged, that he would put the Negro the live stock belonging to the family.

The Negro employed a lawyer. Then he found that he and his daughters were charged with resisting an officer in the discharge of his duty, his son with carrying a pistol. Only one witness claimed to have seen the pistol. This was the white neighbor, who said that he had seen the son put the pistol in the buggy, while the crowd was on his father. The buggy was searched. The pistol was not found. LYNCHING THREATENED Talk of lynching the Negro and his family caused their removal to another county. A committee of citizens waited upon the judge of the circuit, who informed them, it is charged, that he would put the Negro Southern Aid Building LIABILITIES Correct—attest: 126,364.51 1,851.89 1,062.41 9,528.50 9,570.00 4,934.15 1,059.47 593.22 and sold it for them at a great sacrifice.

Reputable merchants and bankers in this county united in giving the Negro and his family a good character. The son has been offered a loan of $450.00 by a leading farmer to pay a note, the holder of which threatened suit during these troubles. A leading merchant gave the father a line of credit, running from $800 to $1500 a year. One of the best citizens of the county signed his bond. THRIFT SOLE OFFENSE 2. A white citizen of this county had a Negro boy arrested for failing to comply with his contract to work for him. The boy's defense was—He was drafted for service in our army, where he served fifteen months. This service caused him to break the contract. Negro Bondsman Shot A successful Negro farmer came to the court house of the County to sign the boy's bond. The accuser was there. When the Negro was signing the bond, which the sheriff said he would accept, the white, declaring "No 'Nigger' shall help another 'Nigger' to beat me out of my money," shot the Negro twice. No effort was made to arrest the white men, and the first grand jury refused to indict him. Subsequently he was arrested, indicted and convicted in April, 1920, of "shooting at another." His sentence was 12 months or 6 months in jail and a fine of $300. The Negro recovered. A WHITE CHARACTER The character of the white is shown by his conviction of rape upon a Negro woman under circumstances so vile, that a white jury convicted him and sentenced him to twelve months in the penitentiary in January, 1920. County No. 23 CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN Case No. 126. 4. In this Count: (a) Two Negro women and a man, the nephew of the women, lived together. Whites drove the man away and debauched the women. The men were prosecuted and made to pay a small fine. Case No. 127. (b) A poor white family, the father suffering from tuberculosis, lived near the Negroes. The Negroes helped the whites. Two girls were in the white family. It was charged that the Negro who was helping them, was going to their home for immoral purposes. The Negro was lured from his home at night and shot to death. Case No. 128 (c) A doctor called, found a negro with his brain laid bare by the blunt end of an axe. The doctor informed the man's employer, the owner of a large saw-mill, that he was afraid to handle the case without assistance. The employer replied, "That is my best 'Nigger,' get your other doctor and save him and send the bill to me." Fear Rules When the Negro had barely recovered, the doctor asked him the name of the assailant. The Negro answered: "Why, Boss, I can't tell you." (d) The owner of a gin had several Negro tenants on farms owned by him. One of the Negroes was whipped and taken away. The owner of the gin protested. He was warned that all of his Negroes would have to leave. He organized a guard and outwitted the plotters. His gin was dynamited and destroyed. Case No. 130. (e) At the same time the home of another man, who had given evidence that led to discovery of a still and the conviction of its owner, was blown up with dynamite. Witnesses who appeared against these outlaws were warned to leave the country. Case No. 131. (f) A Negro complained in a peonage case. At the trial in Atlanta, he appeared as a witness. Fearing to return to the County, he went elsewhere to live. The son of his former employer discovered where he was living, secured a warrant for his arrest and brought him back. He disappeared. A Gruesome Find A boy fishing, found a skull in the stream. Search was made. A body was unearthed. In a pocket was found a card identifying the corpse as that of the missing Negro. County No. 25 Case No. 132. 5. (a) March 28, a Negro was whipped and left almost dead upon the ground by a white man, it is charged. The Negro had disputed the word of the man's bookkeeper in his saw-mill. The Negro has disappeared. Case No. 133. (b) March 30th, a Negro, said to have been held in peonage, appealed to a justice of the peace. In the presence of the justice, a Marshal is reported to have beaten the Negro with an axe handle. Nothing has THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921 been done to the Marshal. Case No. 135. (c) December, 1920, a white man is reported to have killed a Negro for trying to leave his place. The white has not been arrested. County No. 26 CRUELTY OF DRUNKEN SHERIFF Case No. 135. 6. The sheriff of this County with two other men were in an automobile on the road to the County seat. They were drinking. The sheriff asked a Negro in the road to get him a drink of water. The sherif left the car and struck the Negro twice with a pistol. The man brought the water. The sheriff made him get in the car, carried him 300 yards, and made him leave the car and go into the woods, where he beat him over the head with a pistol and stick. The bleeding Negro was forced into the car again and made to lie down. He was carried ten miles, the sheriff kicking him in the body and head. One eye was virtually knocked out. There the sheriff made him get out. He was beaten again on the naked body. The sheriff stopped to cut another stick, when one of his companions advised the Negro to run if he wished to live. This he did, hiding in the woods until later a passer-by carried him into town. The sheriff was indicted for assault with intent to murder. He was acquitted. THREAT OF DEATH The Negro beaten, has the reputation of being a peaceable, law abiding hard working man. He was threatened with death, if he testified against the sheriff.

The Voice of the Pack BY EDISON MARSHALL He came somewhat nearer and looked a long time. Then he made a half-circle about the bench, turning his head as he moved. He was more puzzled than ever, but he was no longer afraid. His curiosity had become so intense that no room for fear was left. And then he sprang upon the park bench. Dan moved then. The movement consisted of a sudden heightening of the light in his eyes. But the squirrel didn't see it. It takes a muscular response to be visible to the eyes of the wild things. The squirrel crept slowly along the bench, stopping to sniff, stopping to stare with one eye and another, just devoured from head to tail with curiosity. And then he leaped on Dan's knee. He was quite convinced, by now, that this warm perch on which he stood was the most singular and interesting object of his young life. It was true that he was faintly worried by the smell that reached his nostrils. But all it really did was further to incite his curiosity. He followed the leg up to the hip and then perched on the elbow. And an instant more he was poking a cold nose into Dan's neck. But if the squirrel was excited by all these developments, its amazement was nothing compared to Dan's. It had been the most astounding incident in the man's life. He sat still, tingling with delight. And in a single flash of inspiration he knew he had come among his own people at last. He knew where he would spend his last six months of life. His own grandfather had been a hunter and trapper and frontiersman in a certain vast but little known Oregon forest. His son had moved to the eastern cities, but in Dan's garret there used to be old mementoes and curios from these savage days—a few claws and teeth, and a fragment of an old diary. The call had come to him at last. Tenderfoot though he was, Dan would go back to those forests, to spend his last six months of life among the wild creatures that made them their home. CHAPTER II. The dinner hour found Dan Falling in the public library of Gitcheapolls, asking the girl who sat behind the desk if he might look at maps of Oregon. He remembered that his grandfather had lived in southern Oregon. He looked along the bottom of his map and discovered a whole empire, ranging from gigantic sage plains to the east to dense forests along the Pacific ocean. He began to search for Linkville. Time was when Linkville was one of the principal towns of Oregon. Dan remembered the place because some of the time-yellowed letters his grandfather had sent him had been mailed at a town that bore this name. But he couldn't find Linkville on the map. THE He Couldn't Find Linkville on the Map Later he was to know the reason—that the town, half-way between the sage plains and the mountains, had prospered and changed its name. He remembered that it was located on one of those great fresh-water lakes of southern Oregon; so, giving up that search, he began to look for lakes. He found them in plenty—vast, unmeasured lakes that seemed to be distributed without reason or sense over the whole southern end of the state. Near the Klamath lakes, seemingly the most imposing of all the fresh-water lakes that the map revealed, he found a city named Klamath Falls. He put the name down in his notebook. The map showed a particularly high, far-spreading range of mountains due west of the city. Of course they were the Cascades; the map said so very plainly. Then Dan knew he was getting home. His grandfather had lived and trapped and died in these same wooded hills. Finally he located and recorded the name of the largest city on the main railroad line that was adjacent to the Cascades. The preparation for his departure took many days. He read many books on flora and fauna. He bought sporting equipment. Knowing the usual ratio between the respective plenures of anticipation and realization, he did not hurry himself at all. And one midnight he boarded a west-bound train. He sat for a long time in the vestibule of the sleeping car, thinking in anticipation of this final adventure of his life. He was rather tremulous and exultant as he sank down into his berth. He saw to it that at least a measure of preparation was made for his coming. That night a long wire went out to the Chamber of Commerce of one of the larger southern Oregon cities. In it, he told the date of his arrival and asked certain directions. He wanted to know the name of some mountain rancher where possibly he might find board and room for the remainder of the summer and the fall. The further back from the paths of men, he wrote, the greater would be his pleasure. And he signed the wire with his full name: Dan Falling, with a Henry in the middle, and a "III" at the end. He usually didn't sign his name in quite this manner. The people of Gitcheapolis did not have particularly vivid memories of Dan's grandfather. But it might be that a legend of the gray, straight frontiersman who was his ancestor had still survived in these remote Oregon wilds. The use of the full name would do no harm. Instead of hurting, it was a positive inspiration. The Chamber of Commerce of the busy little Oregon city was not usually exceptionally interested in stray hunters that wanted a boarding place for the summer. Its business was finding country homes for orchardists in the pleasant river valleys. But it happened that the recipient of the wire was one of the oldest residents, a frontiersman himself, and it was one of the traditions of the Old West that friendships were not soon forgotten. Dan Falling I had been a legend in the old trapping and shooting days when this man was young. So it came about that when Dan's train stopped at Cheyenne, he found a telegram waiting him: "Any relation to Dan Falling of the Umpqua divide?" Dan had never heard of the Umpqua divide, but he couldn't doubt but that the sender of the wire referred to his grandfather. He wired in the affirmative. The head of the Chamber of Commerce received the wire, read it, thrust it into his desk, and in the face of a really important piece of business proceeded to forget all about it. Thus it came about that, except for one thing, Dan Falling would have probably stepped off the train at his destination wholly unheralded and unmet. The one thing that changed his destiny was that at a meeting of a certain widely known fraternal order the next night, the Chamber of Commerce crossed trails with the Frontier in the person of another old resident who had his home in the farthest reaches of the Umpqua divide. The latter asked the former to come up for a few days shooting—the deer being fatter and more numerous than any previous season since the days of the grizzlies. "Too busy, I'm afraid," the Chamber of Commerce had replied. "But Lennox—that reminds me. Do you remember old Dan Falling?"

Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc. Lennox probed back into the years for a single instant, straightened out all the kinks of his memory in less time than the wind straightens out the folds of a flag, and turned a most interested face. "Remember him!" he exclaimed. "I should say I do." The middle-aged man half-closed his piercing, gray eyes. Listen. Steele," he said, "I saw Dan Falling make a bet once. I was just a kid, but I wake up in my sleep to marvel at it. We had a full long glimpse of a black-tail bounding up a long slope. It was just a spike-buck, and Dan Falling said he could take the left-hand spike off with one shot from his old Sharpe's. Three of us bet him—the whole thing in less than two seconds. With the next shot, he'd get the deer. He won the bet, and now if I ever forget Dan Falling, I want to die." "You're just the man I'm looking for, then. You're not going out till the day after tomorrow?" "No." "On the limited, here tomorrow morning, there's a grandson of Dan Failing. His name is Dan Falling, too, and he wants to go up to your place to hunt. Stay all summer and pay board." Lennox's eyes said that he couldn't believe it was true. After a while his tongue spoke, too. "Good Lord," he said. "I used to foller Dan around—like old Shag, before he died, followed Snowbird. Of course he can come. But he can't pay board." It was rather characteristic of the mountain men—that the grandson of Dan Failing couldn't possibly pay board. But Steele knew the ways of cities and of men, and he only smiled. "He won't come, then," he explained. "Anyway, have that out with him at the end of his stay. He wants fishing, and you've got that in the North fork. Moreover, you're a thousand miles back—" "Only one hundred, if you must know. But Steele—do you suppose he's the man his grandfather was before him—that all the Fallings have been since the first days of the Oregon trail? If he is—well, my hat's off to him before he steps off the train." (Continued Next Week) Have you a house for sale or rent? Have you a Vacant Room, Furnished or Unfurnished For Rent?

He said: "Justice, like charity, must begin at home. We must be just to ourselves and to our own first of all." That is just what this administration should have for its object in its attitude to all the citizens of this country. "Justice" has sadly been denied the colored people of these United States. Every thinking person among our group has desired, yea pleaded for "justice." If this administration will simply carry out that idea of "Justice, like charity, must begin at home" then we will receive equal opportunity in education, "justice" in the administration of the laws, will eliminate the photograph with application for a civil service position; "justice" will take the "jim crow" cars off the railroads; "justice" will give appointments to worthy colored people in all the departments and not single out certain minor positions to salve a few hungry politicians; "justice" beginning at home will make of America a real example of true democracy and not a hypocrite before the world, when she protests against the inhumanity of the Germans or the terrible deeds of "the unspeakable Turk" and permits 415 of her own loyal citizens to be lynched in ONE of her states, and not a single person ever tried for these murders. There is indeed plenty of room for this country to "be just to ourselves and to our own first of all." Another sentence in the same address that strikes forcibly is the statement: "The war sadly disjoint things in the world, and we are now seeking to restore the proper balance. In our efforts to do this, to achieve justice without selfishness, we will do well to cling to our firm foundations. I believe in the inspired beginning." So do we believe in "the inspired beginning" and wish that this administration had the moral courage to enforce the Constitution as written by the inspired fathers. We would that this administration could be inspired with half of their inspiration and enforce the laws that are now upon the statute books of our United States. If it has the courage to do that we will not need a "Commission to study race conditions in this country." The Department of Justice already has enough evidence in its files of inhuman, unjustifiable and criminal treatment of the colored citizens of this country to keep the administration busy for five years clearing up this mass of evidence. The Tribune asks for, yea pleads for, "justice at home" and a sufficient portion of the inspiration that inspired the fathers, for this present administration to enable it to see its duty and feel the responsibility of discharging it as well as did "the inspired fathers."

The recent track meet at Howard University brings out the dire necessity of more attention being given in athletics in both secondary and college education. Howard was ill prepared for the big meet held there last week. The general management was without system and altho there were programs, no one was able to use them to any advantage. To stand up from one to six o'clock in the afternoon, under a blazing sun, produces a hardship that few care to undergo; therefore, the interest in the games was lost because of the physical discomforts. A stadium is sadly needed by all of our big schools if they are to promote athletics. Credit however, must be given to Howard University for staging this big event among our schools. These athletic events are the best asset for a school, outside of the regular curricula. The big football game between Howard and Lincoln last fall and the Penn meet a few weeks ago in Philadelphia, have done more to advertise these schools and unite the alumni, than any other events in their history. Consider Center College, a small school of about 300 students, yet by her athletic prowess she carried her name and fame around the globe. What event connected with the big schools of the country conduces more to inspire loyalty and morale in the students and alumni, than the annual meets of the various athletic events. Wilberforce, Fisk and Atlanta are concrete examples of the need of the real athletic spirit. Hampton has recognized this fact and has definite plans underway which will give her one of the best school stadiums and general athletic fields of any school in this country. The war brought forcibly to our attention, the vital need of physical education. "A sound mind in a sound body" should be the slogan of all our schools. Our boys made the best showing physically of any group in the United States army entrance examination; and our schools should have that fact brought to their attention in order that we may be kept physically fit thru well equipped physical and athletic departments in all of our schools. Open the purse strings for the physical department and it will bring an hundred-fold both in well developed manhood and financial returns from increased interest in the school. TO HOWARD CLASS Mr. H.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1921 DRILL PROGRAM CRITICISED The drill number of the joint edition, "Civitas" Dunbar High School and "Spark" Armstrong M. T. School has created a deal of comment because of the advertisement on the back cover page. A number of people criticised the colored theatre owners for not having their advertisements in its program. On interviewing them they stated that they had not been solicited for an ad for the program and did not know that one was being gotten out. One manager stated that he had gone over to Dunbar and ran a show or two for them; another said that he had let them have his scenery on different occasions and feeling that one good turn deserves another, was surprised when shown the program with the advertisement of a theatre that had not yet opened its doors and had not done one thing for them, and that too, one owned by the opposite race. Speaking of race pride and racial consciousness, one business man said "Here is what our race leaders do for us." And he was not a theatre owner either. The colored men who own nine theatres here, representing the largest amount of invested capital of colored people in the District and employing more than any other business, said that they would have given their advertisements but were not solicited and therefore did not know of the Mr. Raymond H. Murray, President of the Exhibitors Association said: "Numerous inquiries have been made of me as to the direct cause of the non-appearance of our theatre ads in the program for the drill on Thursday. All that I can say is that the man or men in charge of securing the ads for the program ignored us completely. I think it a shame after we have done as much as we have in building up our business for our people to then have it appear that both of these schools endorse the advent of a competitive business, owned by whites. It strikes me as a very poor example to set before our boys and girls who must some day launch out in the business world and depend on the race loyalty of their people to support them."

Lee Cook, of Louisville Kentucky, at the University Chapel Exercises on Thursday, May 26th. What Mr. Cook said was especially interesting to the students because of the success which he has made in five or six distinct lines despite the disadvantages of physical handicaps which he has labored under throughout his life. His appearance as a public speaker in an invalid's chair was particularly appealing. Grimke, Miss A. W. Grimke, Dr. and Mrs. West, Mrs. Kelly Miller, Mrs. Frank Langston and Dr. Burill.

SPORT NOTES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 GOURDIN STARS IN HARVARD-PINCETON MEET Cambridge, Mass. May 24.—Edward O. Gourdin, Harvard's great all-round colored athlete, was the brilliant star in the dual track meet between Harvard University and Princeton University which was held in the Harvard Stadium, Saturday, May 21, 1921, the Harvard track team beating the Princeton team 59 to 58 points. Gourdin was entered for three events in the meet, gaining first place in each of them. In the 100 yard dash he easily led Lourie of Princeton, and in the 220 yard dash, he took the event form Princeton's star runner, Stevenson. In the broad jump, Gourdin set up a new collegiate as well as intercollegiate record by jumping 24 feet, 6 inches, breaking by an inch and a half the American collegiate mark which had stood since 1899, when it was made by an athlete of the University of Pennsylvania. Bill Smith of Indianapolis, formerly catcher on the Lincoln Giants was spotted in the grand stand at the Sunday game and seemed very much pleased with the game. CONTEE ELECTED CAPTAIN OF HOWARD TEAM Raymond E. Contee, formerly Captain Dunbar High School Track Team and a member of the Football and Baseball Teams, was elected Captain of the Howard University Track Team on Monday, May 23. Mr. Contee has made a splendid record as an athlete at Howard, being a member of the Team which represented the University at the Penn Relay Games and also a member of the 1920 Howard Varsity Football that had such a victorious season. His election to the captaincy of the 1921 Howard Track Team is a merited reward. Among those of the 1920 Track Team who were awarded the Varsity H in Track along with Mr. Contee as announced by Coach Morrison were: James H. Taylor, Captain of this year's Track Team; H. Rozier; H. K. Perry; Robert Croft; L. G. Robinson; H. Fannin; William Greene; Emmitt Wyndon; Julian Evans; Fleming A. Jones; George L. Johnson; F. D. Williams; George D. Williams; Carl O. Kent; F. B. Luke; William Minyard. The work of the Track Team this year has been most successful. Aside from winning honors in the local Meet at the University, it has accomplished much by its praiseworthy work in competition with white colleges.

M. C. A., for business men from 8 to 10 p. m. During these two hours of work and recreational exercise systematic workouts will be given, starting gradually and working up to the heavy stuff. The swimming pool is now open and will be at the disposal of the men entering this Thursday night class for their exclusive use for the two hours. New lockers have been installed in the gym where one's clothes may be placed with safety. Mr. Ross, who has recently taken charge of the Physical Depat. says these weekly workouts will prove the best preventive methods against disease and will keep the persons following them regularly, physically fit and ready for the fray. The class started Thursday night the 26, with an encouraging number enrolled. DEANWOOD CONTINUES WIN NING STREAK BY DEFEATING ATHLETICS The Deanwood Athletic Club outclassed the N. W. Athletics, Sun. when they won their game by the score of 17 to 2. The D. A. C. gathered 20 hits, including 3 doubles and 3 home runs. MacGowans who pitched for the D. A. C. struck out 6 men in the five innings he pitched. The game was called in the 7th to save further slaughter. Teams desiring games are asked to write At the rate Martin Lewis is now going, he will soon be picked up by some scout for some of the big teams; for he has been a terror to all of the local base runners and has been hitting the ball around the 35 mark. AMERICAN GIANTS DOWN BRISCOES American Giants defeated Briscoe Motors of Jackson, Mich., 8 to 5, at Schorling park yesterday, each side pushing over four runs in the third inning. Dan Brown finished for the Giants and staved off further scoring, while Collamore was touched in succeeding rounds. We solicit your co-operation in making The Tribune the best paper in the United States. We feel that Washington should have that distinction and that type of paper. HOWARD CLOSES BALL SEASON WITH 2 WINS The baseball season for the Howard University team came to a successful close when its last two games were played Friday, May 20th and 21st against Hampton Institute and Lincoln University, the game against Hampton ending in a score of 3 to 2 in Howard's favor and the one against Lincoln was won by the overwhelming score of 15 to 2. The Hampton-Howard game proved of much interest because the two teams appeared well matched. Neither one of the teams could tally until the fourth inning when Howard secured two runs and Hampton one. In the eighth inning, Howard succeeded in getting her third run which proved to be the winning run. Hampton made a heroic attempt to tie the score in the ninth inning but was able to add only one run making the score 3 to 2 in Howard's favor.
