The Washington Tribune Attempt To Lynch Causes Riot Man Kills Wife With 45 Galiber Revolver All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, NO. 4 Atter GUNS AND FIRE TAKE HEAVY TOLL TROUBLE STARTED OVER ARREST OF A MAN ON A FLIMSY CHARGE CITIZENS PROTESTED FINE NEW $85,000.00 CHURCH WAS CONSUMED BY LEAPING FLAMES Tulaa, Okla.—Another page was added to America's book of black crimes committed by mob action in which the principal sufferers were colored, here Tuesday when the two races clashed in armed warfare which raged throughout Thursday night, when Martial law was extended over the city. The dead list was greatly overestimated at first; the first official count Thursday morning listed 24 known dead; fire consumed property by real estate men at more than $1,500,000, principally in the colored section. Among the buildings destroyed was a new church, recently constructed at a cost of $85,000. The trouble is alleged to have started over the arrest of Dick Rowland on a flimsy pretext of assault on a white girl. Rowland was placed in jail and a mob formed to stage a lynching bee. Sheriff McCullough protected the prisoner and the mob was cheated of its prey. Rowland was spirited away, his whereabouts were unknown to practically all. The news of the mob's action spread quickly and a band of colored citizens formed and marched to the jail with the sole determination of assisting Sheriff McCullough in protecting the prisoner, until a fair trial could be obtained. This it is stated angered the whites, and for a while threw consternation among them. Reinforcements were quickly secured, stores were broken open and all kinds of ammunition and weapons were secured. Then the general fighting began. A white detective named McQueen is the alleged instigator of the fatal fight. Adjt. Gen. C. F. Barrett of Oklahoma City is in charge of the troops and is directing the rescue work; he is assisted by the Red Cross and other local volunteer workers. Furious fighting occurred over the tracks of the Frisco railroad, which separates the colored section from the white; also in a church, where a score or more of men had barricaded themselves. They repulsed several attacks made by the whites and held their ground until the church was fired. After many casualty's on their side, (Continued on page 8) Can You Write?

The jury was out thirty-five minutes. Little interest was manifested in the trial of Manning. His counsel changed his tactics and had Manning to plead guilty, but charged that he committed the crimes while under threats and fear from Williams the owner. Under the Georgia law, if the court had taken this view, Manning would automatically have been set free. Manning's counsel was furnished by prominent Atlantians. A plea for a new trial was made. Practically the same evidence presented in the Williams case was presented in Manning's. SOUTHERN AID TO OPEN HERE NEXT MONDAY SOUTHERN AID TO OPEN HERE NEXT MONDAY ONE OF THE STRONGEST INSURANCE COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES The Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Virginia, which recently erected a fine business and office building in this city, on the corner of 7th and T Streets, N. W., is to open a branch office here, in their new building, on June the 6th, with Mr. J. Lacy Doss as Superintendent. Industrial insurance is their strong feature, with a three-in-one policy as their specialty. They will give employment to a large force here. The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, was organized about 28 years ago and the record for 1920 is one of service to policy holders, growth in volume of business and substantial increase in the assets of the company, which is largely the result of confidence and trust of the membership in the institution, its officers and employees. Their statement of the business for 1920, which was made to the insurance commissioner on the 3d of January, 1921, shows an income for the year of $712,724.58, with a cash balance of $145,076.94 making a total income of $857,724.52. In their disbursements, $218,333.53 was paid out for sick claims to the members of the Society, while $53,637.14 went for death claims, making a total of $271,970.67 distributed among the people. The Southern Aid Society of Virginia is one of the strongest and most substantial business enterprises in the country today. Their assets show a total of $548,738.46, with $303,252.67 of that amount in real estate, free of all liens, $62,838.00 in Federal, State and City Bonds. They own their home office building in Richmond, a two-story brick, a fine two-story brick in Danville, a three-story brick in Norfolk, a two-story brick in Newport News, one in Portsmouth, one in Lynchburg, one in Peterburg and a modern four-story building with basement in Washington. The building in Washington alone, represents an investment of $165,000.00. Their liabilities show a capital stock of $30,000.00, deposits of employees and a ledger accounts of $25,691.89 and a surplus of $493,046.57. This is a capital and surplus of $523,046.57. This is one of the strongest financial statement yet published by any colored business concern. Each share of stock in the Southern Aid Society carries a valuation og $1,643.50.

GRADY ADDRESSES NEW ENGLAND CLUB In December of 1886, a Mr. Grady, of Georgia, in addressing the New England Club, of New York, said: "There was a South of slavery and secession—that South is dead. No section shows a more prosperous laboring population than the Negroes of the South, none in fuller sympathy with the employing and the land-owning class. He shares our school fund, has the fullest protection of our laws, and the friendship of our people. Self interest as well as honor, demand that he should have this." Mr. Grady was a patriot and a publicist, certainly no one would accuse Mr. Grady of qualifying as a prophet. sel; Edw. Stewart, Vice Pres.; B. A. Cephas, Vice Pres.; A. Washington, Vice Pres.; W. E.

RALPH TYLER PASSES AWAY ACHIEVED GREAT PROMINENCE AS A JOURNALIST AND POLITICIAN Columbus, Ohio, June 2.—Ralph W. Tyler, newspaper man, former auditor for the navy and special war correspondent with the 92nd Division in France, died at his home here Wednesday night. He had been sick only a short time. Ralph Tyler, as he was generally known has been an active figure in America for a number of years. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, and was 56 years old at his death. He was educated in the public schools of Columbus and did further studying at home. He began as a writer on the staff of the Columbus Evening Dispatch about 1884, continuing 17 years, rising to assistant manager and confidential secretary to the publisher. He later went to the Ohio State Journal, where he stayed three years. He was the only colored person regularly employed on the staff of a white daily paper in Ohio. Being a newspaperman, he took active part in local and state politics. He was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt as Auditor for the U.S. Navy, in 1905 and served until 1913, being reappointed by President Wm. H. Taft. In 1916 he entered the fight for delegate at large from his native state against now Senator Frank B. Willis. In this contest he polled a large per cent of the votes and made a very creditable showing. In 1918 he was designated by President Wilson as special war correspondent and assigned to the 92nd Division. He stayed with this division and returned after the armistice. For a while he was connected as Contributing Editor to the Cleveland Advocate. Returning to his home in Columbus, he again took up newspaper work on white dailies and began writing for the Columbus Evening Citizen. He leaves to mourn his loss three sons and a wife and a host of friends and admirers. STANDARD DEVELOPMENT HOLDS FIRST BANQUET The first annual banquet of the Standard Development and Investment Company, was held at the "Ideal Lunch" on 14th Street, Wednesday night June the First. It was a fine get-together meeting for the purpose of spreading the good news of the first year's accomplishments, and incidently secure new subscribers to the stock. Dr. W. L. Board, the president of the company, presided. In his speech, he stressed the character of the men connected with the company and their integrity in carrying out the plans of development. The house was well filled with both men and women, representing the business and professional people of Washington. Mr. T. H. Norman was the first to be introduced and while the menu of salads, crackers, ice tea, ice cream and cake, was being served, Mr. Norman said: "I came up thru the hardest times of slavery but went to school and there learned to baffle them. I had faith and looked ahead. I can read land as well as people and as soon as I saw the property that the company proposed to purchase I realized that this was the hope for our people in Washington."

NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL STUDENTS' WORK SHOWS UP WELL PRIZES PRESENTED BY MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS The Commencement Exercises of the National Training School for women and girls, began last Sunday with the Baccalaureate sermon by Rev. J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh. Class Day exercises were held Tuesday night. One of the attractive features of the program of the week was the presentation of "The Japanese Girl" an operetta by Charles Vincent, on Wednesday night, June the First. The young ladies acted their parts perfectly and the costumes and scenes were attractive and interesting. This took place on the campus. The annual meeting of the trustee board took place Thursday, followed by the meeting of the Alumni Association with a banquet that evening. The Commencement Exercises were held Friday, on the Campus, amid the throng of spectators who assembled to witness the excellent results that are being accomplished at this school. The "Right and Wrong Way" of the Domestic Science Department, by Miss Margaret Brown, of Virginia, proved very interesting. A demonstration in dressmaking and beauty culture was given which brought out the possibilities of these arts in making "mi lady beautiful." The Principal address was delivered by the Rev. James Bryant, of Atlanta, Ga. The diplomas and certificates were delivered by Mrs. Mary V. Parrish of Kentucky. The prizes were presented by the president Miss Nannie E. Burroughs. The enrollment amounted to 125 for the year with 4 graduating. There was one Normal graduate, Miss Evangeline M.

Evans for several hours, Saturday afternoon, Edward Godfrey Evans, 47, shot her about 8:30, in their room, at her mother's home on R St. N. W., she died later at the Freedmen's hospital. It is stated that Evans had been nagging and fussing with his wife nearly all the afternoon. She was down stairs shortly after eight o'clock and he called her to come up and write a note for him. Her mother, Mrs. Laura A. Griffith, with whom the couple were living, tried to persuade her daughter not to go up stairs. Mrs. Evans went up, however, and it was only a short time before her mother heard her scream twice, following which she heard two shots. Hearing a body fall to the floor, she ran out to notify some one to call the police. In a short while Evans came down stairs with the pistol in his hand and walked off toward Ninith street, after shouting to his mother-in-law that her daughter was upstairs dead and she had better go up and look at her. The ambulance was summoned and mortally wounded woman was hurried to Freedmen's Hospital where Dr. O. R. Sheffield gave her medical treatment, but she died at 9:45 p. m. She was shot twice, once in the head and once in the abdomen, with a 45 Colt revolver, which Evans is alleged to have stolen from General Marsh at Ft. Meyer, where he was stationed as the General's orderly. Officers Edwards and Henry of the 8th Precinct Station, picked Evans up at the corner of 7th and T Streets, about four blocks away from the scene of the shooting. At the station house it is claimed Evans stated that he was sorry that he did not shoot his mother-in-law and the children. The couple had two children, the older a boy, 22 months old and an infant only five months old. They had been married about three years. Evans was indicted Wednesday, for murder and remanded to jail to await trial. The funeral of Mrs. Evans was held Thursday from the residence, at one o'clock. WILLIAM LANEY ON TRIAL AGAIN FOR MURDER William Laney, who was indicted more than a year ago for murder in connection with the killing of Kenneth Crall, during the race riot in July, 1919, went on trial Thursday before Justice Siddons in the criminal court. Laney was on trial before Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in March, 1920, a mis-trial resulted and a new trial ordered. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took up Laney's case and employed attorney James A. Cobb with Houston and Hughes to defend him. The Trial began Thursday with not a colored man on the jury. There are forty witnesses to be examined and it is that that the case will take the remainder of this and practically all of next week, as the trial last year required two weeks. 2 GRADUATES GREATEST NUMBER IN HISTORY Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 26— ‘The fortieth annual commencement ex- ercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which began Sun- day afternoon, May 22, with the splen- did commencement sermon by Dr. Charles W.

In aceord with this custom, throngs of people could be seen on the campus and many teams and automobiles parked on the old hitching ground. Many of these had faced the heavy down-pour of rain last night rather than be late or absent from the ex- ercises which meant so much to them.

McGhee "CANTERBURY PILGRIMS" TO BE PRESENTED ON CAMPUS NEXT WEDNESDAY The Department of Dramatic Art of Howard University announces another notable drama to be given during Commencement Week, June 5 to 10, at the University. The great pageant drama "The Canterbury Pilgrims," by the distinguished American playwright, Perey Mackaye, will be presented out-of-doors, on the University Campus, on the evening of June 9th. The production promises to be one of the most beautiful and picturesque events ever seen in Washington. The play itself is based upon Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," and is a delightful comedy, comprising four acts and having more than fifty characters. The opera version, which was presented at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, will be used and the accompanying music by the great composer, Reginald DeKoven will be played by the Howard Orchestra. The natural setting for the play will give a marvelous picture of magic beauty. The stage will be placed in the bowl of a natural amphitheatre with the blue sky and stars overhead, the twinkling lights of the Capital City in the background and clusters of massed flowers and shrubbery in the foreground. No curtains will be used but especially constructed electrical appliances will create the various light-illusions desired for the dramatic effects. The costumes of the host of characters will be in harmony with historical accuracy and visual charm. All students of English Literature will be delighted with the dramatization of the immortal "Tales" of the bard of Canterbury. Teachers in all neighboring schools should see the play themselves and see that their pupils avail themselves of this rare opportunity. They will see in flesh and blood great Chaucer himself as he was known to his contemporaries, as the very human hero of the play—then the Priocess the Friar, the Frankin, the Host, the Wife of Bath, John Wyclife, and King Richard II—all will pass before them on their way Invest in a Sound and Worth-While Race Proposition!

Get into an Enterprise that the public will support, and get into it before most people awake to its possibilities; here lies the secret of fortune.—Rothchild. from Tabard Inn to Canterbury Cathedral. They play is full of lively dramatic action and has a plot full of human interest and suspense. Professor Montgomery Gregory and Mrs. Marie More-Forrest co-directors in the dramatic work of the University have carried the now famous Howard Players through a very successful year. They presented Charles Gilpin in "The Emperor Jones" at the Belasco Theatre before an audience of over 2,000 persons. The critics in New York and Washington have generally acclaimed the work now being done at Howard as one of the most significant dramatic movements in the country. In addition to the acting in the plays given, the students design and construct their own scenery in the workshop under the direction of Cleon Throckmorton, the well known scenic artist of New York City. All costumes used in the plays are likewise designed by the students under the direction of Sue Gossin of the Botson Academy of Fine Arts and Evelyn Lightner. As Kenneth Macgowan wrote in the New York Globe, Howard University has taken the lead in the development of native drama among the Universities of the country. It is hoped to have a splendidly equipped Little Theatre ready for use on the Campus by the opening of the fall quarter. Fully 3,000 persons are expected for the production of "Canterbury Pilgrims." As a part of the Music Week program at Howard University, the students of the I Howard University School of Music gave a special recital in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel at the noon club exercises Tuesday, May 31. Among the various students who participated in the recital and the selections rendered were: Polanaise, C Sharp Minor—Chopin, by Miss Hortense Freeland; Prelude—Chopin, by Miss Helcn Denson; Lento—Cyril Scott, by Miss Ruby Collins; LeCloche—Saint Saens, by Miss Arliner Young; Magnolias—Dett, by Miss Mildred Felton; Seenes From an Imaginary Ballet—Coleridge-Taylor, by Miss Lenora Scott; Novelle—MacDowell, by Miss Verna Mae Wardlaw; Aria from Jean de Arc—Bemberg, by Miss Carolyn Grant; Concert Etude—MacDowell by Miss Caroline Thornton. a Sound and While Race Pre Ovington To be Erected At Atantic City, N Pacific Ave., One Square off Board ing at $10.00 per share, 6 per c Cor.

Porter and Rev. C. Proyer. An interesting program is being planned for each week. The officers are president, George T. Beason; vice-president, Charles T. Turner; secretaries, Misses Helen Alexander and Roberta Williams: assistant secretary, Miss Cora Day; Treasurer, Mrs. Georgia Burnett. The Patriarchies of Alexandria, Va., No. 175; Washington, No. 18; and Georgetown, No. 42; went to Rockville, Md., on the 30th where they were entertained by the Laurel Leaf Lodge, No. 6502, G. U. O. of O. F. The program for the day filled with thrills beginning with a baseball game between the Rockville team and a picked nine from the visiting lodge members. In the contest drill the prize of $50.00 was won by the Georgetown Patriarchy No. 42, which was commanded by Capt. Edward Chevis, 1st. Lieut. Walter Washington; 2nd Lt., Archie Bourman. Sunday was Woman's Day at the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church. Miss Katie Bennett presided at 11 a. m., Mrs. Mary E. Thompson at 3:00 p. m. and Mrs. Dewitt Turpin at 8:00 p. m. The total amount raised was turned over to the church and was received by Mrs. C. H. Wesley, on behalf of the pastor who was awav at the time. Mt. Zion M. E. Church had the field secretary of the Epworth League with them Sunday, The pieces were pleasingly rendered and the students reflected credit upon the instruction they are receiving at the University. Mr. Harry S. Stanback, a graduate of Virginia Union University and now with the Mutual Savings Bank, Portsmouth, Virginia, was a recent visitor to the Howard University. During his stay, he stayed at the Beta Chapter House of the Alphi Phi Alpha Fraternity. Messrs. Marion S. McCall of the University of Michigan School of Medicine, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Robert Tate of the Northwestern University School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois were recent visitors to the Capital City, coming here to take the examinations for internship in the Freedmen's Hospital. ADDITIONAL THEATER NEWS CHAPLIN NEEDS NO EFFICIENCY COURSE Sends Kid to Break Windows and Then Gets Job of Mending Them Efficiency abounds with humor if you don't happen to be the person that is affected by it. The favorite story that is told by friends of a roted efficiency expert is about an occasion where he changed the method of distributing mail in an office, so that a woman who sat at the door to attend to callers would take the personal mail to the various offices. He had good reason for making the change. The woman had nothing to do the first hour of the morning before callers arrived and it was during this hour that the mail must be distributed. The change did not work. The woman had been assigned to her job where she had nothing to do except sit at a table and talk through a telephone, because she was an old employee of the firm and had become nearly crippled through a combination of rheumatism and bunions. Another question which would bother most efficiency experts. How can an itinerant glazier increase the demand for his services? Obviously unless he happens to be on hand when a window is broken the chances are that the travelling glazier will lose the job. The building owner probably would send immediately for the neighborhood glazier. Efficiency experts probably would advise the glazier to study conditions in his home city, with a view to discovering what neighborhood is most hazardous to window lights, and then keep wandering about in neighborhood so that he could keep on the job when the need for his particular service occurred. This superb picture play will be at the Hiawatha Theatre next week. "THE MISLEADING LADY" COMING AS FEATURE In "The Misleading Lady," which comes as the feature attraction at the Dunbar Theatre, for a run of two days, June 5th and 9th, local motion picture patrons will be treated to a screen version of the notable play by Charles Goddard and Paul Dickey, which enjoyed such a triumphant success on the New York stage. More than that, they will see Bert Lytell, that versatile and gifted young actor who has won an undisputed niche in screendom. He has the dashing role of Jack Craigan, the confirmed woman hater whose first appearance in effete New York after a stay in South Africa brings with it his complete surrender to beautiful Helen Steele. Only after he has made his avowal does Craigan learn that she made him propose to prove her fitness for a leading part at a millionaire's "little theatre." Infuriated by such treatment, Craigan abducts her to his hunting lodge and proceeds to a brusque wooing, which begins with the lady chained, and ends in a breathless episode in which he wins against the claims of Helen's fiance. The story, with its quick tempo and its delicious sparkling humor, which critics say is conveyed on the screen far more effectively than it was on the footlights, is a Metro special production, directed by George Irving, under the personal supervision of Maxwell Karger. Lois Zellner adapted the play. Arthur Martinelli was the cameraman and Lester J. Vermilyea designed the special art interiors. UNUSUAL COMBINATION OF TYPES IN "DINTY" Wesley Barry in Leading Role with Chinaman, Pickaninny and Others Supporting Him An unusual combination of types is offered in "Dinty," Marshall Neilan's newest production for First National release, which will be the attraction at Foraker Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. As three of the chief characters in the story Director Neilan has used Wesley Barry, the freckle-faced kid in "Go and Get It" and "Don't Ever Marry"; Aaron Mitchell, a pickaninny, and Walter Cung, an almond-eyed youngster of Oriental extraction. Other widely contrasted types are offered by Colleen Moore, as an Irish girl; Julia Faye, as a modern vamp; Anna May Wong, a beautiful Chinese maiden of eighteen summers in pretty Oriental garb; Noah Berry, as a Malay half-breed; Pat O' Malley, Marjorie Daw and J. Barney Sherry, in straight American parts; Tom Wilson, as an Irish cop; Jimmy Wong, an 86-year-old native of the land of the Chee Chee bird, and Kate Price, as a typical Bridget from Erin. WORKS OUT THEORIES AS JAIL WARDEN Induces Escaped Convicts to Return to Prison Major Gracie had faith in mankind, and he believed that kindly encouragement would achieve better results in dealing with convicts than harshness and brutality. In this he differed radically from Samuel Green, whom he superseded as warden of the state penitentiary at San Pedro. The major's lovely daughter, his secretary and pal, shared his views. Her feeling for Daniel Craig, known as "Three Sevens" in the prison where he was serving twenty years for a murder of which he was not guilty, was not based upon theory, however but upon sentiment and admiration. The story is told in "Three Sevens," a stirring melodrama by Perley Poore Sheehan visualized by Vitagraph as an Antonio Moreno production, which will be shown at the Dunbar theatre on Friday and Saturday, June 10-11. In escaping from the prison, with the aid of two tiny saws smuggled in for a convict who died in his cell before they reached him, Craig unintentionally brought about the release of five desperate and hardened criminals, as well as a number of others, willingly, whom he felt had reasonable claims to freedom and another chance. To undo the injury done society by letting the five outlaws escape, and to retain and strengthen Joan Gracie's feeling for him, Craig resolves to devote himself to the recapture of the five. In carrying out this purpose he experiences a number of exciting adventures and often is close to death. "BIG" BILL HART WRITES BIG PICTURE Famous Paramount Star Author of "The Testing Block" His Latest Western Photoplay Has Most Powerful Love Theme William S. Hart, widely known as "Big Bili" is an author as well as actor as he proves in his latest Paramount picture, "The Testing Block," a story of the California gold fever days which will be shown at the Hiawatha Theatre, Sunday, and Foraker Theatre, Monday of next week. It was adapted and directed by Lambert Hillyer. "In the life of every man, on the ladder he climbs toward his goal, there is a rung that proves his testing block." That in a sense is the theme of the story. Hart as the bandit chief meets Nelly Gray a straying violinist—a lovely girl. He fights his entire band to save her from, their embraces—and, under the influence of liquor, forces her to marry him—but she learns that beneath his vicious exterior he is a real man. This is preliminary—for the real story starts when the deeds of the past, and the faces of the past, come forth to haunt him. Eva Novak is the leading woman. It is a story that will never be forgotten once seen. It is the western picture of the year. CHINESE DISGUISE AS COLORED TRIED TO ENTER AS AMERICANS. Los Angeles, May 28—If a leopard can not 'change his spots,' neither can a Chinaman successfully evade immigration offceds by attempting to disguise himself as a negro. Immigration officers held two prisoners who had the outward appearance of being freaks fresh from some circus sidehow. The prisoners were Chinese coolies charged with having attempted to smuggle themselves into this country by disguising as negroes. The black grease paint was smudged about the faces of the Orientals and spots where officers had rubbed off the paint for investigation gave the prisoners a grotesque appearance. According to officers, the men carefully blackened themselves in Mexicali, took a stage to El Centro and boarded last night's train for Los Angeles. The conductor became curious when the two supposed negroes apparently were deaf and dumb, refusing to speak. The two men were arrested, their yellow skins being shown when the officers unbuttoned the fronts of their shirts. Immigration officers declared it was the first time in their knowledge such a trick had been attempted to snuggle Orientals into this country. 3 Washington, D. C., May 29, 1921 To the Editor: May the columns of your paper be used to call attention to the fact that the 115,000 colored citizens of this District are deprived of a proper and suitable bathing beach. If it is the order of things to separate the races to the end of amity and to a continuance of understanding and good feeling, that end can not be reached by providing every facility and modern convenience for the one and denying it to the other. The taxes paid here are not separated in separate funds according to the color of those paying such taxes, but all go together in keeping up the expenses of the District, including its playgrounds, bathing beaches and etc., and there is absolutely no justification in turning over to the colored citizens a bathing beach unfit for the use of white bathers and one only used in the emergency when plans were being carried out in building a new and more suitable beach on the little basin. Is there any reason existing why a beach can not be built on the little basin for colored-bathers or why the beach can not be used for all bathers allowing at least two days in the week for colored. The writer would suggest that the attention of the Community Centers at Lovejoy, Randall, Phillips, Dunbar, Birney, Miner Normal, Garnet-Phelps and Deanwood, be again called to this state of affairs, and that each of these centers call a special meeting June 9th, for the election of one member from each center to form a Committee to wait on Col. Sherrill, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, and acquaint him with the desires of the several communities and request him to take steps necessary to effect desired improvements or state his reasons for not doing so. The writer would further suggest that such members elected meet at the Dunbar Community Center on May 16th, at 7:30 o'clock and complete plans for waiting upon Col. Sherrill. There should be no restrictions as to sex on the committee. OLIVER R. ROGERS ORIENTALS SPEAK AT HOWARD On Monday, May 23rd, at the Howard University Chapel exercises, Dr. Jenaba Fazel Mazandarani, accompanied by Mizra Ahmud Sohrab and several of the speakers of the recent Conference for Amity between White and Colored people, appeared and spoke on the movement for universal brotherhood and understanding among peoples, races and creeds. Dr. Mazandarani was formerly a professor at the Universitw of Teheran, the Imperial University of Persia, and is now a lecturer and publicist. The gist of the message which he gave to the students of Howard University was that the world is equipped for internationalism materially, but not yet equipped spiritually. He spoke in the Persian language and was interpreted by Mr. Sohrab who was formerly secretary of the Persian Legation at Washington for many years. He was introduced by Mr. Albert Vail of Chicago, and among those who accompanied him to the University were Mesdames Parsons, Boyle, and Heney, who have been very active in the recent Amity Conference. During the course of Dr. Mazandanai's remarks, he referred to the reception of Abul Baha at Howard University in 1912 and said that the speech he delivered here had been spoken of in many places in the East.

Sports and Theater Notes Continued on Page 8 COMING TO THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK "THE SMARTER SET" The Style in which the former "Smart Set" is now touring the show world is "The Smarter Set" and under which a lively entertainment will be offered at the Howard on next Monday night. As most show goers are well aware, the Smart Set was one of the most famous colored organizations, which ever appeared on the American stage, and is said that the new organization is well up to the mark as regards singing ability, dancing expert and general fun making. In the reorganization of the Smart Set into "The Smarter" it was the special care of the producers to secure voices which were executionally even among the sweet singers of the Southland, and in consequence it is claimed that as a musical attraction "The Smarter Set" is in a class by itself. The large jubilee cast is headed by the well-known comedians Salem Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt, who are supported by singers, dancers and comedians who rank high in their respective lines, and are presenting a new and original musical creation called a jazzonian operetta "Bamboula" in two acts and ten scenes. "THE GUNSAULUS MYSTERY" A NEW MICHEAUX PICTURE AT DUNBAR NEXT WEEK Myrtle Gunsaulus, a young girl is found mysteriously murdered in the basement of a factory by Arthur Gilpin, the Colored night watchman, who is arrested and charged with the crime. Sidney Wyeth, a young lawyer, who had got the impression that she was immoral, is engaged by the girl to defend her brother. The incidents surrounding the tragedy, the motive of the crime, and the strange manner in which the girl came to her death, makes one of the most complicated cases the courts had ever confronted with. Strange murder notes found upon the floor, covered with white substance, strands of her hair scattered here and there, all add to the mystery. Out of it all, there was one fact that was self-evident,—the girl was the victim of assault—but not in the usual way. Lem Hawkins, jantor, falls under suspicion and is arrested, but the police are unable to get much out of him before suspicion is directed to Anthony Bris- Bureau 9, War 0 War Department forfeited to Bureau last Friday by not having nine men in uniform on the grounds.

The Game Saturday between Government Printing and Census was postponed on the account of rain. Manager Slade of the Census is holding his own as he is heading the list in the percentage column; but Manager Mills of the G. P. O. was ready for the fray. These two Clubs will play a postponed game on Diamond No. 6, Monday, June 9 at 5:15 p. m. Treasury 22, Navy Yard 4 On Tuesday, the Treasury trounced the Navy Yard in one of the worst games played on the League grounds. Brown started for the Navy Yard in the box and got a good start but on account of poor support by his teammates, was replaced by Dick Dandridge, the veteran who was hammered over the fields. The Navy Yard club will have to go some to win games, especially when Manager Brown of Treasury has the array of players he has. Postponed games that have somewhat disarranged the schedule will be played on diamond No. 6, and are as follows: bane, the superintendent and general manager of the factory. A great trial follows. Wyeth succeeds in proving Ida May's brother innocent; at the same time, wringing a confession from Lem Hawkins in which he told the story of Anthony Brisbane's double life; of how he, Brisbane, a sexual pervert, had committed the unspeakable crime and killed to try to hide it. After his success in placing the crime where it belonged, Wyeth writes another book, in which he reveals a secret. Ida May reads the same, sees where he was laboring under the wrong impression, and, in answer to a letter she sends him, the whole thing is cleared up and the old, old, story.

Dudley theater in Alexandria, Mr. Dudley's newest acquisition, opened Decoration Day and Gresham and Martin were one of the opening attractions. The Colored Actor's Union held its weekly meetings in their club rooms last Sunday evening; at which time, various points of vital interest to the organization were discussed. Mr. S. H. Dudley, who has just returned from Chattanooga, Tenn., where a meeting of the T. O. B. A., was held, gave a very interesting talk relative to the future plans of the theatre owners and managers throughout the country. Mr. Dudley in concluding his talk, very earnestly endeavored to impress upon his hearers the importance of concerted effort and said that such an organization as was now being formed, should have been in operation many years ago. Many pertinent questions were asked by many of the members present and each was given a satisfactory answer by Mr. Dudley, who was assisted by Mr. Boots Hopes, the secretary. A letter from Mr. Savini a film producer of Atlanta, Ga., was read by Mr. Hopes in which Mr. Savini offered to furnish to every Colored theater in the country as many reels of film as the occasion would require when the great drive for the finance necessary toward the building of a Colored Actor's Home would be inaugurated. The set for this event is August 2, and it is hoped that the membership of the organization will by that time be greatly multiplied.

Kappa Alpha Psi Dance Xi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity at Howard University gave their initial reception and dance Monday-evening at the Whitelaw Hotel which was one of the most brilliant affairs of the spring. It was in the main dining room of the hotel which was elaborately decorated with palms and pink rambler roses. The lights were shaded with pink and white carnations and the programs were embossed with the fraternity emblem. The entrance was enclosed by two lattices of crimson and cream crepe, forming an open entrance. The orchestra was hidden by a lattice of the same material with an entrance between two large palms. The lattice extended from here around the back of the room and enclosed the two large mirrors on the right of the room. Before one of the mirrors stood a large design of the diamond shaped pin, emblem of the fraternity, the edge of which was covered with white and pink carnations, offset by the white scroll on a black background. American flags were draping the corners of the mirrors. The striking feature of the decorations was the large crimson and cream banner that hung above the orchestra in such a position that it could be seen from all sides of the room, and especially from the entrance. Around the large column in the center had been placed a circle of chairs among a number of large palms, which gave the appearance of a shady and cool spot beneath the many colored lights. Between dances the guests were entertained by Mr. Beasley, the well known tenor of New York. The guests present from other colleges were: Mr. N. S. Duff, Temple College; Mr. C. N. Terpin, Columbia University; W. J. Young, Columbia University; H. C. Wright, Lincoln University and Jas. Bergin, Temple College. The "Oriental's" Decoration Day Attraction, "The Sultan's Ball," in the spacious Murray Casino, was a brilliant affair and more than 500 persons danced and danced until they couldn't "dawne" any more. The nall was elaborately decorated in truly Oriental style and lots of local color was lent the occasion by the appearance of many in Turkish costumes. The attraction was given under the personal direction of Messrs. Geo. H. Tucker and J. Howard Matthews. Mrs. A. M. Curtis has returned to the city from Boston, Mass., where she attended the commencement exercises of the Sargent School of Physical Education, from which school her daughter, Miss Gertrude Ellen Curtis, graduated last Wednesday, May 25. THOMAS-MASK WEDDING On last Thursday evening, at promptly five o'clock, St. Augustine Church was the scene of one of June's earliest and simplest weddings, at which time, Miss Francea DeMar Mask, became the bride of Mr. Vincent Brown Thomas. The ceremony was very short, but impressive and was performed by the priest, Father Olds, who was assisted by four altar boys. As the strains of the wedding march were wafted to the cars of several hundred admiring friends who had gathered to witness the ceremony, the bride, on the arm of her father, was borne to the altar, immediately followed by her only attendant, the matron of honor, Mrs. Pearle N. Brown-Curtis, on the arm of Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, a brother of the bride groom who acted as best man Standing at attention, within the chancel, with the stoicism of the soldier that he is, Mr. Vincent Thomas with Father Olds at his side, awaited the bride's coming. The entire ceremony was performed in seven minutes and the newlyweds passed through a long lane of friends that extended from the first tier of seats on the inside out into the entrance of the church. The bride wore white crepe de chine in rose petals, while a crown of orange blossoms, mixed with lilies of the valley, adorned her head. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs. Pearle N. Brown-Curtis, the matron of honor, wore peach organdie, with hat of the same color edged with ostrich tips. She carried a bouquet of pink roses. They left at once for Patterson, N. J., where they will be the guests of Dr. Norman T. Cotton, returning to their handsomely furnished home on U Street about June 11. Mrs. A. W. Curtis, of Chicago, Ill., mother of Dr. A. M. Curtis, will arrive in this city next week to be present at the reception of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent B. Thomas Dr. Murdock, of Salisbury, N. C., is visiting the city this week.

Miss Curtis returned home last week and will devote a portion of her time in the interest of her profession. She has an offer already from Chicago and one from Indiana. A decision has not been reached as to which she will accept. MU-SO-LIT CLUB Tuesday May 31, was "Ladies' Night" at the Mu-So-Lit Club, on R Street. This is a feature the club has established since entering their modern club rooms and has proven to be an interesting and enjoyable feature. PHELPS COMMUNITY SONGFEST The members and friends of the Phelps Community Center gathered on their spacious pavilion last Thursday evening and were created to several selections of folk songs, that were very capably rendered by the pupils of the sixth, savannah and eight grades of Garnet-Patterson and Phelps schools. The song leaders were: Misses Kellene Lewis, Lewis, Annie Duncan and Mr. C. K. Wormley. Miss Marguerite I. Hall was the accompanist. Mrs. L. H. Johnson directed the eighth grade choruses. The Community Center officers are: Mr. Daniel, Freeman, president and Mrs. Julia Mason-Layton, secretary. "PICKUPS FROM CONGRESSION AL DEBATES" The Hon. Thomas D. Schall, of Minnesota, in a remarkable address, which touched upon the newly created General S'aff of the army said: "In the late war it was notable how the 'desk scratchers' hustled out to get big commissions for themselves, and you all know the subsequent hard-boiled methods of these 'headquarters favorites,' who taught and practiced, that it was not enough to treat the enlisted man like a dog, oblige him to act like a dog, but he must admit that he was a dog." Mr. O'Connor, of Louisiana, in offering an amendment to the deficiency bill, which provided for passport bureaus and their maintenance, remarked: "I do not like a fee system—it is analogous to the tipping system—which has renlled personal service in this country today almost ignoble and one can truthfully say, that a tip system is gradually taking away the courage and manhood of the people dependent upon it." FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET OF STANDARD DEVELOPMENT ... AND INVESTMENT COMP- PANY HELD (Continued from Page 1) velopment Co., has purchased a very desirable plot of ground on 14th; between T and U, N. W., on which is located eight business houses. The lot extends back to a 30-foot alley and the promoters of the company are planning to erect a four story office building with store rooms on the ground floor. It is in a fast developing section both in commercial enterprises and apartment houses and the value is constantly being enhanced by this rapid development. Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance of Howard University, is chairman of the Executive Committee. He said: "I had no disposition to invest when Dr. Board brought me down here to look at the property. But when he took me in the back yard and showed me the possibilities of the property, I knew it was a good investment out of which I would not get any returns for the next five years. I believe the company is running right and am satisfied that we are going to succeed." Dr. F. D. Whitby was introduced. He said: "I have no doubt but that you have at the head of this organization men who have vision and efficiency and I am not in a position to give out information but would rather consult Mrs. Whitby and give you a check," which he did when they called for subscriptions, to the time of $1000.00. Dr. Wm. H. Wilson said, "The motives which animate men are not always discernible. However, when I saw this proposition I was ready to invest a thousand dollars in it, because I felt we should make a place for colored people to do business. Negroes do not invest. We have 600 teachers here in the city schools and if they would save and invest only $5.00 per month, it would mean $36,000.00 in a year's time. Our condition is largely of our own making but can be relieved by such institutions as this for the development of our properties and the establishment of business among our people." Prof. Wm. A. Joiner, the business manager, formerly the financial officer of Wilberforce University, said: "Business is done on the other man's money. We have more than $20,000,000 down town in the white banks and they are using our own money to hinder our economic progress, gentlemen we must stop it. We are losing money every minute that we let that 12,000 square feet of ground lie idle. Fourteenth Street is the longest business street in Washington and traffic is coming this way." Among others who expressed their confidence in the company and the plans for the development of this property were: Mr. W. H. Carter, Mrs. Q. V. P. Scipio-Holmes, Prof. C. M. Thomas, Mr. Oldham, Mr. Howard, W. Jackson, Mr. G. A. Robinson, Hon. James A. Cobb and Prof. John R. Hawkins. Prof. Hawkins had just returned from a trip to Atlanta and told of conditions in Georgia. He said: "I am just back from Atlanta. Yesterday, 400 men pledged to raise $850,000 and took up $26,280 at that meeting in our $5,000,000 drive for the A. M. E. Church. However, the people of Georgia are tired of the conditions there and want to get away and are leaving by the hundreds. They are not poor people by any means, but men who have acquired a home and in many cases other property. The condemning of Manning yesterday only created more dissatisfaction and hundreds are ready to leave. Washington is the gateway and we can get a number of these people to locate here, but we must prove our confidence in our city by putting over this proposition. I feel like a fire horse and am ready for the fray. Who will be the first to subscribe?" With this invitation the subscription started and $2,000.00 was soon placed on the table. This proved a very profitable meeting for the Standard Investment and Development Company and those present certainly obtained a better view of the proposition, receiving encouragement from the various and timely speeches, backed by subscriptions with real money. The company has raised about $60,000.00 this year and have been able to meet all of their obligations and are now endeavoring to assemble the money necessary to begin erecting the large building they hope to put on the entire lot. THREE CITIES GO OVER THE TOP IN N. A. A. C. P. DRIVE. In the recent drive for membership, the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters in New York City, allotted the number that each city was expected to secure. Some of the cities have reported over the quota allotted Akron, Ohio, is in the lead, with a quota of 500, she has secured 692. Rockford, Ill., is a close second, with an allotment of 300, she has secured 471; the third to exceed the quota was Newport R. I., with 376, having a quota of 300. Kansas City and St. Louis are gaining in new members, the former reporting 797 and the latter 557. The local branch was allotted 10,000 and has secured 6,500 so far. At the meeting of the Executive Board, on May the 21st, Mr. Shelby J. Davidson was elected executive secretary for the Washington branch of the Association, with the office of the branch at 1333 R Street, N W. THE WOODING JUBILEE SINGERS THE WOODING JUBILEE SINGERS It has come to our ears that in certain parts of our country a strong objection to the singing and perpetuation of our own folk-songs and spirituals exists. Unfortunately, too, this is the case among some of the more intelligent of our people. There is the sadly erroneous idea that these beautiful outbursts of intense religious fervor and spontaneous expressions of the heart tend to caricature the race. In such an age as this when every land and every race is striving to preserve and immortalize its folklore and especially when composers of all nations and classes are selecting these themes as settings for their masterpieces it seems that the originators of such melodies, should reflect and try to realize the innate beauty and the great value which such songs must possess. Negro spirituals are the only music in America which meet the scientific definition of folk Song. It is a serious mis conception of their meaning and value to treat them as "minstrel songs" or to try to make them funny by a too literal attempt to imitate the manner of the Negro singing them, by swaying the body, clapping the hands or striving to make peculiar inflections of the voice. Their worth is weakened unless they are done "impressively, for through them all there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice and brotherhood of man. We have among us in Washington, D. C. the "Wooding Jubilee Singers," who under the most able leadership of Mr. A. Russell Wooding are striving to interpret these songs in the BY Special Req. E "MI-DEA other SELECT EVENING, JUL 40c.

RAL REQUEST I-DEARS" ELECT BARN DANCE ING, JUNE 7,-8 to 1 Carroll Boyd's Jazzers 5 "The Negro in Georgia"By Gov. Dorsey Many Recommendations Offered By Governor to Stamp Out Peonage and Promote Better Race Feeling (Third Installment) THE REMEDY To end these conditions I would suggest: PUBLICITY 1.

THE SOCIAL GOSPEL 2.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION 3. Compulsory education for both races. COMMITTEES ON RACE RELATIONS 4. The organization of State Committees on race relations, one Committee composed of leading white citizens, another of leaders among the Negroes, and local committees made up in the same manner in each county of the State, the committees to confer together when necessary concerning matters vital to the welfare of both races. REPEAL CERTAIN LAWS 5. The repeal of Code Section 716, which together with 715 reads: "715. Procuring money on contract for services fraudulently. If any person shall contract with another to perform for him services of any kind, with intent to procure money or other things of value thereby, and not to perform the service contracted for, to the loss and damage of the hirer, or, after having so contracted, shall procure from the hirer money, or other things of value, with intent not to perform such service, to the loss and damage of the hirer, he shall be deemed a common cheat and swindler, and upon conviction shall be punished as for a misdemeanor." "716. Proof of intent to defraud. Satisfactory proof of the contract, the procuring thereon of money or other thing of value, the failure to perform the services so contracted for, or failure to return the money so advanced with interest theron at the time said labor was to be performed, without good and sufficient cause, and loss or damage to the hireer, shall be deemed presumptive evidence of the intent referred to in the preceding section." 6. The enactment of laws— STATE CONSTABULARY (a) Establishing a state constabulary under proper safeguards and authorizing the Governor, upon his own motion, to send members of such force into any County of the State to quell disorder or to protect the life and property of any citizen. PENALTY ON COUNTY (b) Imposing a financial penalty upon any County in which a lynching may occur, when the officials of that county have failed in their duty. INVESTIGATION OF LYNCHINGS INVESTIGATION OF LYNCHINGS (c) Authorizing the Governor of the State to appoint at any time any three judges of the Superior Court to act as a commission to investigate any lynching occurring in any County of the State and empowering the Governor to remove from office any public official found by such commission to have failed to enforce or uphold the law. JURIES DRAWN FROM STATE (d) Giving the Governor the discretion and power in any case of mob violence or lynching to authorize and direct any judge of the Superior Court to draw grand and petit juries from the State at large for the consideration and trial of such cases, and authorizing the Governor to designate the place at which the trial or trials shall be held.

'21. Under the above heading the Atlanta Georgian had a double column editorial on Saturday, May the 21, in support of Gov. Dorsey, in his fight to restore law and order in his state. This editorial is an answer to one in The Macon News, which scored the governor for publishing the list of 35 injustices to colored people in Georgia. We give a few paragraphs: "Inasmuch as there have been lynchings within the state of Georgia, by Georgians, within the past 35 years, 415 Negroes and a few additional whites have been lynched, and during all that time there has not been so many as one person tried and convicted for the crime of lynching, we cannot very well say that we have combated the crime of LYNCHING as valiantly and as courageously as we might have. "Georgians believe in the LAW in respect of upholding prohibition, and arrest 'bootleggers', try them and put them in jail. We enforce the laws against burglary and chicken stealing. "BUT FOR 35 YEARS, WE HAVE STEADFASTLY REFRAINED IN ANY MANNER, SHAPE OR FORM FROM ENFORCING THE LAWS AGAINST LYNCHING. And that, notwithstanding the shameful and disgraceful record of an average of one Negro per month LYNCHED during that period of time. "That is the crux and the climax of this entire matter. "Passive intolerance of LYNCHING and passive abhorrence of LYNCHING have existed among us for the past 35 years—only ACTIVE intolerance of lynching and ACTIVE abhorrence of lynching will STOP lynching; and it is for that The Atlanta Georgian will plead. . . . "It may have been 'unfortunate' primarily as The Macon News says, that the governor stated his case as he did—although The Atlanta Georgian does not at all think so—but, as The News says, 'good may come of it.' Let us hope so. It was in such a spirit and hope that the governor issued it—and for that we commend him. "It still will remain TRUE that the problem that he has proposed NEEDS settling and that it takes courage and manhood and calmness to settle it; and that HARSH denunciation of the governor, classing him as a liar and a slanderer, is not in any manner, shape or form, approaching a solution to the trouble. We are all agreed upon that. By Wellington A. Adams MUSIC WEEK ACTIVITIES Washington's "Music Week" started officially last Sunday with seventy or more churches offering special musical programs, the colored including Campbell A. M. E., Union Wesley Zion, Mt. Carmel Baptist, Haven M. E., Zion Baptist, Fifteenth Street Presbyterian, Church of Our Redeemer, Lutheran, Vermont Avenue Baptist, and Lincoln Temple. All official Washington, including President and Mrs. Harding, were represented on committees as well as some of our leading colored citizens. Special Programs in Schools Special musical programs were rendered at the following places, Dumbar, Minor Normal, Howard, Mott, Birney, Summer, Phipps. National Training School for Girls and Phyllis Wheatley Club Y. W. C. A., with the following Song Leaders in official charge: Misses Sara L. Pelham, A. Duncan, Gladys D. Duncan, A. P. Lewis, Kellene Lewis, Margaret Ha'l. Mary Europe, Edith M. Chandler, Mac Stewart, Edna Gordon, Madames Gregoria F. Goins, F. H. Douglas, J. Wilder; Messrs. C. K. Wormley, A. C. Terrance, Thomas Heathman, John Miles, Henry Buckner and Wellington A. Adams. The biggest and most spectacular feature of the week was the symbolic celebration on the Ellipse Friday afternoon, June 3rd, with the President of the United States as the honor guest on a central stand where a great eight-foot floral lyre marked the throne of the Goddess of Music, in front of which the President reviewed 60,000 colored and white school children who sang patriotic airs, assisted by the Howard Singers and the Community Civic Band. Nothing like this has ever been witnessed before and the scene and martial music thrilled thousands with animation. The week closes with two big programs, one at Wilson Normal furnished by colored talent and the other at Dunbark furnished by white musicians, exchanging racial courtesy. In the completion of his several weeks labor, Organizing director Robert Lawrence has rendered Washington a most beneficial and interesting service in more ways than one. With broad vision, keen insight, qualified for leadership, well trained and possessing thorough musicianship he soon won his way to the hearts of all concerned, gaining their confidence and interest he plunged into the arduous duties confronting him with smiling face and willing heart We wish him continued success in the work. He will conduct the first State Music Week for Michigan next fall, November. COLORED SONG LEADERS The two weeks free training school at Dunbar for colored song leaders proved highly interesting and beneficial to those attending. Mr. Benjamin Washington, chairman and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, secretary, certainly performed their duty faithfully welcoming all who attended and assisting in every way possible making things run smoothly. They deserve a large share of the credit for success of music week among colored communities. A large number entered the course, among them an elderly old soul who possessed the spirit but not the qualifications necessary to success and she certainly did occasion much merriment time and again, by her weird antics in trying to keep up with the younger bodies. The nineteen song leaders mentioned above were successful in passing the test and were assigned to schools and centers for music week Among the number we mention Miss Mae Stewart whose picture is herewith reproduced, as a type of the splendid group of song leaders selected. Miss Stewart created a favorable impression in gymnastic drill by her supple motion in rhythms, having studied at the Harvard Summer School, Boston, and with Anita Turner, assistant physical directress, D. C. Pub "The next thing to do then, is to resolve that this shameful record must be CONCLUDED and a NEW record forthwith written—and that the manhood and womanhood of Georgia is going TO SEF TO IT that it is written henceforth and forever, to the credit and honor and glory of this dear state which we all so devotedly love and for which we are willing to sacrifice, if necessary so very much." A. Miss Mae Stewart lic Schools. She is teacher of physical training at the State Normal School of Maryland. At the close of the training school at Dunbar, Saturday evening, May 28th, the "Song Leaders Club" was organized permanently with Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham as president, and Wellington A. Adams, secretary, next meeting to be held in the fall. Director Lawrence, before closing the class told them that this was the first exclusively colored song leaders group in the world and congratulated them upon the fact, and further remarked that they were about the most active, talented and interesting group, not even excepting the white group( who were in his presence at the time) he had ever instructed, which brought forth hearty applause. He thanked all and bade them goodbye! Thus comes into existence a new musical factor in this city, the "Song Leaders Club," organized as a body and qualified individually to lead singing in any form, chorus, choir or congregation for the first time in the history of this city. The stamp of approval has been placed upon them by authorities in power, as each leader was officially approved. "CHARIOT JUBILEE" AT SYRACUSE MUSIC FESTIVAL R. Nathaniel Dett's "The Chariot Jubilee" was sung at the third concert which was recently given at Syracuse, N. Y., by the Central New York Music Festival Association. The large chorus was led by Prof. Howard Lyman. The Syracuse "Post-Standard" said: "Mr. Dett, who has done much for the cause of music, was presented by Alexander H. Cowie, president of the Festival. He made a happy speech and after the number had been given with fine taste on the part of singers and orchestra the composer was called before the footlights and, in responding to the long and sincere applause, asked Nikolai Sokoloff and Professor Lyman to appear with him. This was the first large performance of 'The Chariot Jubilee 'in America and the work is dedicated to Syracuse University Chorus. It possesses much credit and will become a standard work. Mr. Dett is a graduate of Oberlin and directs the music at Hampton Institute. Lambert Murphy sang the solo part with much finish. This was the biggest number of the evening for the chorus." GIRLS' QUARTETTE FROM MANASSAS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL A girl's quartet of Manassas Industrial School, Virginia, rendered several splendid selections at Second Baptist church last Sunday evening, in the interest of a fund for the school. They made a good impression upon the audience as evidenced by the large donation given them. They used "Calvary" to good effect, second voices blending well in the sequence passages as arranged, closing with an effective pianissimo. The young ladies are: Miss GUESTS AT WHITELAW J. P.

In the little town of Gltchepaolis small Dan Falling dreams boyish dreams, tinctured with melanoboly over his supposed physical neatness. There, years later, detects Dan. BOOK I—REPATRIATION. CHAPTER I—Warned by his physician that he has not more than six months to live, Falling sits despondently on a park bench, wondering where he should spend those six months. A friendly squirrel practically decides the matter for him. His blood is pioneer blood, and he decides to end his days in the forests of Oregon. Memories of his grandfather and a deep love for the wild help him reshaping a decision. CHARLES H.—In a large southern Oregon city he meets people who had known and loved his grandfather, a famous frontiersman. He makes his home with Silas McCormick, a native of other members of the household are Lennox's son, "Bill," and daughter, "Snowbird." Their abode is many miles from "civilization," in the Umpqua divide, and there Falling plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told is his. He is a native of a slight exertion convinces him that the doctor had made a correct diagnosis of The mountaineer's bronzeed face was earnest and intent in the bright lights of the club. Steele thought he had known his breed. Now he began to have doubts of his own knowledge. "He won't be; don't count on it," he said humly. "The Fallings have done much for this region, and I'm glad enough to do a little to pay it back, but don't count much on this eastern boy. He's lived in cities; besides, he's a sick man. He said so in his wire. You ought to know it before you take him in." The bronzed face changed; possibly a shadow of disappointment came into his eyes. "A lunger, eh?" Lennox repeated. "Yes—it's true that if he'd been like the other Fallings, he'd never have been that. Why, Steele, you couldn't have given that old man a cold if you'd tied him in the Rogue river overnight. Of course you couldn't count on the line keeping up forever. But I'll take him, for the memory of his grandfather." "You're not afraid to?" "Afraid, h—! He can't infect those two strapping children of mine. Snowbird weighs one hundred and twenty pounds and is hard as steel. Never knew a sick day in her life. And you know Bill, of course." Yes, Steele knew Bill. Bill weighed two hundred pounds, and he would choose the biggest of the steers he drove down to the lower levels in the winter and, twisting its horns, would make it lay over on its side. Besides, both of the men assumed that Dan must be only in the first stages of his malady. And even as the men talked, the train that bore Dan Failing to the home of his ancestors was entering for the first time the dark forests of pine and fir that make the eternal background of the Northwest. He was wholly unable to understand the strange feeling of familiarity that he had with them, a sensation that in his dreams he had known them always, and that he must never go out of the range of them again. --- Dan didn't see his host at first. For the first instant he was entirely engrossed by a surging sense of disappointment—a feeling that he had been tricked and had only come to another city after all. He got down onto the gravel of the station yard, and out on the gray street pavement he heard the clang of a trolley car. Many automobiles were parked just beside the station, some of them foreign cars of expensive makes, such as he supposed would be wholly unknown on the frontier. A man in golf clothes brushed his shoulder. Dan looked up to the hills, and he felt better. He couldn't see them plainly. The faint smoke of a distant forest fire half obscured them. Yet he saw fold on fold of ridges of a rather peculiar blue in color, and even his untrained eyes could see that they were clothed in forests of evergreen. Over the heads of the green hills Dan could see a few great peaks; McLaughlin, even and regular as a painted mountain; Wagner, with queer white gashes where the snow still lay in its ravines, and to the southeast the misty range of snow-covered hills that were the Sickeyouk. He felt decidedly better. And when he saw old Silas Lennox waiting patiently beside the station, he felt he had come to the right place. It would be interesting to explain why Dan at once recognized the older man for the breed he was. Silas Lennox was not dressed in a way that would distinguish him. It was true that he wore a flannel shirt, riding trousers and rather heavy, leather boots. But sportsmen all over the face of the earth wear this costume at sundry times. Mountain men have a peculiar stride by which experienced persons can occasionally recognize them; but Silas Lennox was standing still when Dan got his first glimpse of him. The case resolves itself into a simple matter of the things that could be read in Lennox's face. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 Dan disbelieved wholly in a book that told how to read characters at sight. Yet at the first glance of the lean, bronze faced face his heart gave a curious little bound. A pair of gray eyes met his—two fine black points in a rather hard gray iris. They didn't look past him, or at either side of him, or at his chin or his forehead. They looked right at his own eyes. The skin around the eyes was burned brown by the sun, and the flesh was so lean that the cheekbones showed plainly. The mouth was straight; but yet it was neither savage nor cruel. It was simply determined. Lennox came up with a light, silent tread and extended his hand. "You're Dan Failing's grandson, aren't you?" he asked. "Tm Silas Lennox, who used to know him when he lived on the Divide. You are coming to spend the summer and fall on my ranch." The immediate result of these words, besides relief, was to set Dan wondering how the old mountaineer had recognized him. He wondered if he had any physical resemblance to his grandfather. But this hope was shot to earth at once. His telegram had explained about his malady, and of course the mountaineer had picked him out simply because he had the mark of the disease on his face. As he shook hands, he tried his best to read the mountaineer's expression. It was all too plain: an undeniable look of disappointment. The truth was that even in spite of all the Chamber of Commerce head had told him, Lennox had still hoped to find some image of the elder Dan Falling in the face and body of his grandson. Because of the thick glasses, Lennox could not see the young man's eyes; but he didn't think it likely they were at all like the eyes with which the elder Falling saw his way through the wilderness at night. ? "You're Dan Falling's Grandson, Aren't You?" Of course he was tall, just as the famous frontiersman had been, but while the elder weighed one hundred and ninety pounds, bone and muscle, this man did not touch one hundred and thirty. Evidently the years had brought degeneracy to the Falling clan. Lennox was desolated by the thought. He helped Dan with his bag to a little wiry automobile that waited beside the station. They got into the two front seats, and a moment later were starting up the long, curved road that led to the Divide. During the hour that they were crossing over the foothills, on the way to the big timber, Silas Lennox talked a great deal about the frontiersman that had been Dan's grandfather. A mountain man does not use profuse adjectives. He talks very simply and very straight, and often there are long silences between his sentences. Yet he conveys his ideas with entire clearness. Dan realized at once that if he could be, in Lennox's eyes, one-fifth of the man his grandfather had been, he would never have to fear again the look of disappointment with which his host had greeted him at the station. But instead of reaching that high place, he had only—death. He knew what his destiny was in these quiet hills. And it was true that he began to have secret regrets that he had come. But it wasn't that he was disappointed in the land that was opening up before him. It fulfilled every promise. His sole reason for regrets lay in the fact that now the whole mountain world would know of the decay that had come upon his people. Perhaps it would have been better to have left them to their traditions. He had never dreamed that the fame of his grandfather had spread so far. For the first ten miles Dan listened to stories—legends of a cold nerve that simply could not be shaken; of a powerful, tireless physique; of moral and physical strength that was seemingly without limit. Then, as the foothills began to give way to the higher ridges, and the shadow of the deeper forests fell upon the narrow, brown road, there began to be long gaps in the talk. And soon they rode in utter silence, evidently both of them absorbed in their own thoughts. Dan did not feel oppressed at all. He merely seemed to fall into the spirit of the woods, and no words came to his lips. Every mile was an added delight to him. Not even wine could have brought a brighter sparkle to his eyes. He had begun to experience a vague sort of excitement, an emotion that was almost kin to ex- ultation, over the constant stir and movement of the forest life. Once, as they stopped the car to refill the radiator from a mountain stream, Lennox looked at him with sudden curiosity. "You are getting a thrill out of this, aren't you?" he asked wonderingly. It was a curious tone. Perhaps it was a hopeful tone, too. He spoke as if he hardly understood. "A thrill!" Dan echoed. He spoke as a man speaks in the presence of some great wonder. "Good Heavens, I never saw anything like it in my life." "In this very stream," the mountaineer told him joyously. "you may occasionally catch trout that weigh three pounds." But as he got back into the car the look of interest died out of Lennox's eyes. Of course any man would be somewhat excited by his first glimpse of the wilderness. It was not that he had inherited any of the traits of his grandfather. It was absurd to hope that he had. And he would soon get tired of the silences and want to go back to his cities. He told his thought—that it would all soon grow old to him; and Dan turned almost in anger. "You don't know." he said. "I didn't know myself, how I would feel about it. I'm never going to leave the hills again." "You don't mean that." You don't mean that. "But I do." He tried to speak further, but he coughed instead. "But I couldn't if I wanted to. That cough tells you why, I guess." "You mean to say—" Silas Lennox turned in amazement. "You mean that you're a—a goner? That you've given up hope of recovering?" "That's the impression I meant to convey. I've got a little over four months—though I don't see that I'm any weaker than I was when the doctor said I had six months. Those four will take me all through the fall and the early winter. And I hope you won't feel that you've been imposed upon—to have a dying man on your hands." "It isn't that." Silas Lennox threw his car into gear and started up the long grade. And he drove clear to the top of it and into another glen before he spoke again. Then he pointed to what looked to Dan like a brown streak that melted into the thick brush. "That was a deer," he said slowly. "Just a glimpse, but your grandfather could have got him between the eyes. Most like as not, though, he'd have let him go. He never killed except when he needed meat. But that—as you say—ain't the impression I'm trying to convey." He seemed to be groping for words. "What is it, Mr. Lennox?" Dan asked. "Instead of being sorry, I'm mighty glad you've come," Lennox told him. "It's not that I expect you to be like your grandfather. You haven't had his chance. But it's always the way of true men, the world over, to come back to their own kind to die. That deer we just saw—he's your people, and so are all these ranchers that grub their lives out of the forests—they are your people, too. And you couldn't have pleased the old man's old friends any better, or done more for his memory, than to come back to his own land for your last days." The words were strange, yet Dan intuitively understood. It was as if a prodigal son had returned at last, and although his birthright as squandered and he came only to die, the people of his home would give him kindness and forgiveness, even though they could not give him their respect. CHAPTER III. The Lennox home was a typical mountain ranch-house—square, solid, comforting in storm and wind. Bill was out to the gate when the car drove up. He was a son of his father, a strong man in body and personality. He too had heard of the elder Falling, and he opened his eyes when he saw the slender youth that was his grandson. And he led the way into the white-walled living room. "You must be chilly and worn out from the long ride." Lennox suggested quietly. He spoke in the tone a strong man invariably uses toward an invalid. Dan felt a curious resentment at the words. "I'm not cold," he said. "It's hardly dark yet. I'd sooner go outdoors and look around." The elder man regarded him curiously, perhaps with the faintest glimmer of admiration. "You'd better wait till tomorrow, Dan," he replied. "Bill will have supper soon, anyway. You don't want to overdo too much, right at first." "But, good heavens! I'm not going to try to spare myself while I'm here. It's too late for that." "Of course—but sit down now, anyway. I'm sorry that Snowbird isn't here." "Snowbird is—" "My daughter. My boy, she can make a biscuit! That's not her name, of course, but we've always called her that. She got tired of keeping house and is working this summer. Poor Bill has to keep house for her, and no wonder he's eager to take the stock down to the lower levels. I only wish he hadn't brought 'em up this spring at all; I've lost dozens from the coyotes." "But a coyote can't kill cattle—" "It can if it has hydrophobia, a common thing in the varmints this time of year. But as I say, Bill will take the stock down next season, and then Snowbird's work will be through, and she'll come back here." "Then she's down in the valley?" "Far from it. She's a mountain girl if one ever lived.

A don't know the recent policy of the forest service to hire women when they can be obtained. It was a policy started in war times and kept up now because it is economical and efficient. She and a girl from college have a cabin not five miles from here on old Bald mountain, and they're doing lookout duty." Dan wondered intensely what lookout duty might be. "You see, Dan," Lennox said in explanation, "the government loses thousands of dollars every year by forest fire. A fire can be stopped easily if it is seen soon after it starts. But let it burn awhile, in this dry season, and it's a terror—a wall of flame that races through the forests and can hardly be stopped. And maybe you don't realize how enormous this region is—literally hundreds of miles across. We're the last outpost—there are four cabins, if you can find them, in the first seventy Have you a house for sale or rent? Have you a Vacant Room, Furnished or Unfurnished For Rent? stirring and pulsing with life. Some of the sounds were quite clear—an occasional stir of a pebble or the crack of a twig, and some, like the faintest twitching of leaves in the brush not ten feet distant, could only be guessed at. "What is making the sounds?" he asked. He didn't know it, at the time, but Lennox turned quickly toward him. It wasn't that the question had surprised the mountaineer. Rather it was the tone in which Dan had spoken. It was perfectly cool, perfectly self-contained. "The one right close is a chipmunk. I don't know what the others are; no one ever does know. Perhaps ground squirrels, or rabbits, or birds, and maybe one of those harmless old black bears who is curious about the house. And tell me—can you smell anything—" "Good Lord, Lennox! I can smell all kinds of things." "I'm glad. Some men can't. No one can enjoy the woods if he can't smell." WASHINGTON (D. C.) DISTRICT OFFICE SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY OF VA., Inc. tures where, at certain seasons, Lennox kept his cattle; and at last they came out upon the tree-covered ridge. The moon was just rising. They could see it casting a curious glint over the very tips of the pines. But it couldn't get down between them. They stood too close, too tall and thick for that. And for a moment, Dan's only sensation was one of silence. "You have to stand still a moment, to really know anything," Lennox told him. They both stood still. Dan was as motionless as that day in the park, long weeks before, when the squirrel had climbed on his shoulder. The first effect was a sensation that the silence was deepening around them. It wasn't really true. It was simply that he had become aware of the little continuous sounds of which usually he was unconscious, and they tended to accentuate the hush of the night. He knew, just as all mountaineers know, that the wilderness about him was (Continued Next Week) .

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR THEATRES AND DRUG STORES The Washington Tribune commends theColored Exhibitors As- sociation and the Retail Druggist Association for their commend- able spirit of Co-operation as has been demonstrated in the for- mation of these’ organizations. Co-operation is growing more and more in favoritism thruout this country and proving the big factor in many lines of commer- cial endeavor. If the citrus fruit growers of California can form a co-operative association and raise the orange, lemon and grape-fruit growing to a paying business; the apple growers of Washington and Oregon can raise the apple from ten cents a bushel to ten cents each; the peach growers of Georgia and other organizations in boot, shoe, gracery and hardware lines make a suc- cess by co-operating, of a truth our business men will find in co- operation a boone to their business. By placing the ten colored theatres of the city into a co-opera- tive association, much of the expense can be eliminated and bet- ter service can be rendered the patrons than if each was running for himself and fighting each other. The same principle holds true with the Druggists and more so, for they can pool their pur- chasing power thereby securing better prices and more considera- tion, a better class of goods can be obtained and higher rating established, and waste cut eut by co-operating. With the Lincoln Theatre of Newport News, Va., and the At- tucks of Norfolk coming into the Exhibitors Association, booking their shows thru one office a bulwark is being thrown around these enterprises that will insure their perpetual success. The thirty drug stores in the association in this city can build up their business thru this cooperative effort beyond their pres- ent expectations. Take one item which they handle, ice cream. By forming a company they could manufacture their own cream'at a great saving as well as giving more employment. They have the assured outlet. There is no doubt but they can make the: cream. In New York they have individual plants in the base- ment of their stores. In Norfolk, Va., there are three colored ice cream manufacturing companies. Druggists, awake to your ‘opportunities and avail yourselves thereof. THE TULSA TRAGEDY An assault is claimed to have been made, the usual alibi. A colored man was arrested, the usual result of such a claim. Some bloodthirsty white savages decided to take the law into their in-| human hands and lynch this colored man that had been arrested, by white police officers, placed in a jail presided over by a white jailer, to await his trial by a white prosecuting attorney, before a white Judge and white jury; then why try to kill him before the law had its course? But something unusual happened. The colored men in Tulsa knew this man was not guilty and there- fore, decided they would give the sheriff some assistance in pro- tecting their comrade. They formed a crowd and marched to the jail, informed the sheriff they were to help him protect Dick Rowland from mob violence. This was something, unusual and the mobbists were nonplussed for a time. The colored men would not run and a quarrel was started, a gun went off and the big thing was on. The colored men made The Frisco tracks their “Hindenburg line,” and held it to their credit, and not until aero- planes were sent up and fire brands dropped on the homes be- hind them, did they surrender this vantage track. They shot with such deadly effect that terror was sent thruout the city. The governor ordered all available guards near there, to proceed at once, and martial law was established. The first thing the guards did was to search for and disarm all the colored people. Why is it they never disarm the white people? » There are several lessons for white people to learn in this coun- try if they will but study them. The colored people all over this country are tired of “watchful waiting” for justice that is due them. They are fast learning to distrust the white man for jus- tice, feeling in many cases there is “no such animal.” They have decided that since they have to go, they feel better when they take someone along with them. One report said there were 500 white men at one time against 1,000 colored men. That was a significant report. It showed the colored men were not the passive, “me too boss” type that we use to see. Mob violence has not solved the race problem and never will; but it has been a strong factor in arousing racial con- sciousness, fostering prejudice and encouraging caste. Tulsa, like Washington and Chicago, proves that the colored people are aroused and lynchings, burnings and mobbing can never teach Colored Americans justice and respect for law and order. On the other hand it inspires revenge and determination for self pre- servation, since it is not obtainable otherwise. Pullman Porter Tips Mrs. Annie E.

The Athletics also scored in the 7th and 8th. Edmonds’ batting and J. Harrir’s running catch of King’s long fly, were the features of the game.

GUN AND FIRE TAKE HEAVY TOLL-IN RIOT *” (Ooetinued from pane 2) the whites began to apply the torch The fire department stood by and made no concerted effort to quench the leaping flames, that soon lighted the entire territory for miles round. Mans of the houses and buildings burned belonged to whites. Strong streams af water prevented the fire from spread- ing to the warehouses and the white residential section. The damage done by the fire is estimated at $1,500,000, in property, besides the personal be- longings and furniture. Much sniping was done from trees and house tops and the toll of dead will probably never be known. The whites were successful in getting most of their wounded and killed away, hence their list of dead is comparative- ly small, but in no way indicates the actual number killed. Scores were treated at the various pene the more serious cases were given beds while the less serious went to their-homes. Large’ numbers of colored people: were rounded up in the local baseball park and others were locked in jail. : Thursday morning after: quiet had been restored, many people could be seen on the streets wearing white handkerchiefs or white ribbons on their lapels, which indicated that they had gotten permission from the mili- tary. authorities to go to their work. The stores all opened Thursday morn- ing. 7 Gov. Robertson came to Tulsa to in- vestigate conditions there and he promised a speedy investigation into the cause of the trouble. Muskogee, Okla—When the siren began to sound here, scores of people went to cover fearing that trouble had broken out here. The siren was used to call the national guardsmen out. It was feared for a time that a band of colored men of this city would or- ganize and go to Tulsa, but the author- ities quickly threw guards out on every road. THEATER NOTES On Saturday, May 14, S. H. Dudley of Washington, D. C.; E. L. Cummings of Pensacola, Fla. and Martin Klein of Chicago, journeyed to Chattanoogz ‘Tenn., where they conferred with Sam- uel Reevin and other officers of the T 0. B. A. cireuit. Inasmuch as the gentlemen named constitute the executive staff of the Southern Consolidated Circuit, the movement may be regardéd as an in- dication of an amicable working agree- ment between the contending organi- zations if not the complete amalgama- tion. The competitive bidding of the bet- ter attractions and the inability to contro! houses at the point necessary to breaking long and expensive jumps has no doubt touched the purse con- science of-both sets of officials. It is therefore within the range of possibilty that before the opening of the full season, peace will again pre- vail over the eighty or more houses represented in the two circuits that provides employment for the colored artists of the country. “WIF!, WOFF, WABBLES” AT THE HOWARD Re re ih ne eae A large and appreciative audience wptnensed “Wiff, Woff, Wabbles,” a tuneful musical revue in two acts and nine scenes, headed by Amon Davis and Eddie Stafford, both well-known here, when it made its initial appear- ance at the Howard this week. ‘The “Don’t Take Away Those Blues” number was a real live one; and the “shoulder shakers,” a bevy of dainty, dancing little maidens were recalled several times to shake ’em some more. ~ Davis and Stafford’s presentation of the “Jail House” number, one of their many specialties, is the same “show stopper” that it has always been and it was put over in regular big time style, These “fellers” are real laugh-getters and offer nothing but clean cut comedy. ‘The “Wiff, Woff, Wabblers,” a quartette of young men, with exeell- ent voices, augmented by a one-string violin, (cigar box and broom handle) warbled themselves into the popular favor of an enthusiastic audience. ‘They “knocked ’em cold.” “Down in Chinatown,” by Miss Ethel Watts and “Sweetheart Blues” by Miss Elveta Davis were very capably done and each received round and rounds of hearty applause, All in all, the show is a clever mus- ieal piece with lots of real whole- some humor, excellent chorus work and plenty of ginger. d FLORIDA THEATRE The management of the; Florida Theater offered a very commendable vaudeville bill this week and a capacity audience was in attendance. James Williams, a mile-a-minute dancer, opened with a catchy song number, which was followed by 2 monologue, that was highly entertain. ing. He did an excellent “single.” Gross and MeClennon, who closed the bill, began their week's engage- ment in the city and were just a: heartily received here as they have been received elsewhere. Both are conscientious workers of high type and were formerly members of several large productions. Their “Laundry Woman” sketch was a “winner” and proved an interesting evening’s enter tainment. Good bill. AT THE FORAKER Russell and Carroll, and Dade © anc Dade are the two vaudeville attrac tions at the Foraker this week ané they were greeted by very appreciative audiences. Russell and Carroll opened the bill ‘with a-sure-fire song number followed ‘by a line of jokes that had plenty of punch; they gave also a clever exhibi- tion of eccentric dancing that pleased all. Their closing number, “the Geor- gia Hunch’ ‘was a “humdinger” and this number afforded Bob Russel an excellent opportunity to demonstrate , tdeu — 1921 | LOOK—LISTEN—A BIG VICTORY “YOUR STORE is One-Year Old Don’t Fail To Attend Our First Anniversary Sale 10 Days June 2nd to 11th inclusive Store Open—Until 10:30 P.

MG A The principal speaker at the special meeting Sunday, in the lobby of the Y. M. €. A., was Congressman L, C. Dyer, of Mo., who sponsored a bill in ‘Congress against lynching. After paying a glowing tribute to the Y. M, C. A. in general, telling of its power for gold and the influ- ence it is wielding in the life of men, he took up the subject of segregation in St. Louis and told of his efforts ‘in fighting the attempted law there. He said the colored people of the city did not take the interest in that matter that they might have taken, and the city voted for the segregation but the supreme court knocked it out. Concerning the present bill before Congress, he said that he felt sure the present Congress would pass the bill and if the Republicans did not do so, he would resign from the party. He also said that while we as a race had made a rapid and outstanding progress, there was much for us to do yet, toward our own welfare. Special music was rendered by Prof. Leroy Tibbs, of the Howard Universi- ty Glee Club. Mr. Thornton and Mr. Murray both rendered solos as did Mr. Frank G.
