The Washington Tribune Mother and Daughter Killed By Gas In Their Home CITIZENS TO ASK FOR BEACH ON TIDAL BASIN All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, NO. 6 Mother CITIZENS Policer PASSERSBY RELEASE GIRL Officer Ran Out of House To Chase Boys Accused of Throwing Stones INSULTED AT THE HOSPITAL Neighbors Express Great Indignation On The Whole Affair Miss Novella Johnson, seventeen years of age, was brutally assaulted by Policeman E. C. Spaulding, of precinct number 10, Monday afternoon about five o'clock on Fairmont Street, near Georgia Avenue. Two small boys it is said were throwing stones at an iron post, near a lamp post at the corner of the alley and Fairmont St., near Georgia Ave. A white woman was chastising the boys for throwing at the lamp post. Miss Johnson was trying to explain to her that the boys were not throwing at the lamp, but at the post nearby. Policeman Spaulding, who lives in the second house from the alley, heard the conversation, came running out of his house, bare headed, in his shirt sleeves. The boys ran up the alley and as he could not catch them, he turned on Miss Johnson, calling her and the race, vile and unprintable names. Coming up to her, Spaulding is alleged to have slapped Miss Johnson down. On getting up, she picked up a stone and threw at him, striking him over the left eye. Spaulding, it is stated, came back to her and choked her to the ground, held her down with his knees and pummelled her in the face, bringing the blood from her nose and mouth, and continued this until pulled off by a white man. Mrs. Williams, who lives near by, saw the assault as did a Mrs. Jackson on Georgia Avenue. Both agree that it was most brutal and uncalled for. Mrs. Jackson called up the police station, asking that someone be sent, because the man was trying to kill the girl. The whole neighborhood was worked up over this inhuman attack on this young woman. Policemen guarded Spaulding's home all night Monday. Officer Spaulding has been transferred to number 8 precinct. Miss Johnson was carried to Garfield hospital, notwithstanding this occurred off Georgia Avenue, above the Freedmen's hospital, where, she alleges, the internes and nurses made sport of her, laughing and poking fun at her wounds. Miss Johnson was arrested, charged with assault on the officer, who came out of the house without, hat, coat, or collar. Her trial came up Wednesday and her attorney asked for a jury trial which was deferred for a future sitting of the court. Mr. Royal Hughes is her attorney. 3RD COLORED WOMAN RECEIVES Ph.D., DEGREE Philadelphia, Ja. June 17—Miss Sadie Mosselle, a former graduate of Dunbar High School, of Washington, D. C., received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania on June 15. She is the daughter of Attorney Aaron A. Mosselle and a grand daughter of Bishop Benj. P. Tanner.

W., was struck by a truck, going north on 7th. He was knocked under the front wheels of a street car also north bound on 7th, injuring him seriously about the head and face. He was carried to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment. It is alleged by persons who saw the accident, that the street car, number 127, was in the lead of both the truck and bicycle, and approaching the stop sign at the intersection of S Street. Edmonds, on the bicycle was near the street car, with the truck coming up behind him on his right. It is said that as the street car slowed down to stop at S Street, the driver of the truck speeded up his car to avoid stopping for the street car to discharge its passengers. In doing this, he went to the right of Edmond on the bicycle, striking him on his right side, knocking him under the front wheels of the car. His head was caught under the fender of the car crushing it severely. He is not expected to live. The truck belongs to the Standard Oil Company and was driven by A. W. Block, 20 Sibly Ave., Hyattsville, Md. Mr. Edmonds regained consciousness this morning but was too ill to give out a statement. MISS NORTON CALLED DOWN BY BOARD The Board of Education at their regular weekly meeting Wednesday afternoon, repudiated Miss Cecil B. Norton's segregation order to the janitors of Central and Dunbar High Schools, "Not to admit anyone of opposite color to the entertainment of June 4." The board declared the said order as "unwarranted, and is most regretable." Dr. J. Hayden Johnson offered the resolution in the meeting of the Board and it was passed without a desserting vote. The resolution said: "That it is the sense of the Board of Education that the order issued by the Community Center Department, in connection with the Dunbar and Central High Schools, during Music Week, was unwarranted and is most regrettable." This resolution upholds The Tribune in its editorial of June 11, which stated that Miss Norton "overstepped her authority." HAITIAN COURTS PROTEST BEACH TO BE GAGGED BEING SEPARATE Secretary Denby Transfers Civil Courts' Power To Marines POWERS TO BE BROAD Bibles Ordered Along With Troops For Good Of The Islanders Secretary Denby of the Navy issued a statement this week that he had transferred to the military authorities the jurisdiction of the Haitian civil courts over persons charged with instigating disorder, bloodshed or rebellion or libeling members of the Haitian government or the American marine forces of occupation. The secretary gives as his reason for issuing the gag order that the consistent refusal of the civil courts to convict persons accused of these offences and the rapid growth recently of revolutionary propaganda leading to fear of an uprising and sporadic revolutionary disturbance on the island, had made it necessary. Inasmuch as the chief sufferers from this order will be Haitians who have expressed themselves against the iron rule of the American Marines, it is stated that the Government feels it will have little to fear from this source in the future. It is also alleged that the recent visit of a mission from the island to the Secretary of State, at which time they filed a "Memoir" on the Political, Economic, and Financial Conditions existing in the Republic of Haiti under the American Occupation, which directly repudiated the recent statement of Mr. Denby about conditions in the island, caused the secretary to act. Under the new order, anyone speaking unfavorably of the Marines or their conduct of affairs, will be liable to prosecution by the United States Government. The N. A. A. C. P. recently issued a statement signed by H. Pauleus Sannon, former Miister of Foreign Affairs of Haiti, Perceval Thoby, former Haitian Charge d'Affaires at Washington, asserting that a rigorous press censorship has been re-established at Port-Au-Prince. This report was issued before Secretary Denby issued his famous order this week. The order issued by the Secretary called for troops and Bibles. He approved the plan of the white churches to evangelize the Haitians. Since practically every person in Haiti is a member of the Roman Catholic Church or some other Christian denomination, the talk of "evangelizing" them would seem to be due to gross ignorance or mere pretense—probably the latter. POLICEMAN SHOT BY TRAPGUN Danville, Va., June 14.—Irving Price, a prominent merchant of this city was arrested after a trap gun set by him to guard the front door of his store had shot a policeman by the name of J. P. Jones. According to Price's story, his store had been robbed several times recently. He appealed to the police authorities for protection but this did not help. It was then he placed a trap gun at the front door. The officer it is alleged was trying t obreak in the door when the gun went off and almost instantly killed him. Committee Agrees To Call On Col. Sherrill Early Next Week MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE Tidal Basin Is Fully Large Enough and is Only Logical Place At several meetings of various organizations this week, the consensus of opinion expressed on the exclusive article appearing in The Tribune last week, concerning appropriation for a segregated bathing beach, was that they would get together and send a committee to wait on Col. Sherrill next week. Citizens of this city have decided to ask for improvement of the present bathing beach in the tidal basin, so as to accommodate colored people instead of having Congress pass a special act to segregate colored people at a public bathing beach. A committee of half a dozen citizens will call on Col. Sherrill one day next week and ask that the present facilities be enlarged to accommodate all the citizens of the District. "The site on Anacostia River and the one near the War College are out of the question from every view point," said a prominent citizen when approached this week by a Tribune reporter. "The location at the mouth of Rock Creek is also undesirable. We do not need a separate beach way off in an out of the way location. We would rather not have a beach than to have one on these conditions. Another citizen said that the Tidal Basin offered ample room for every citizen in the District and all that the authorities would have to do, would be to enlarge the present facilities and arrange for all of the citizens to bathe in the Tidal Basin, since there is plenty of room there. MEMBERSHIP BANQUET AT Y. M. C. A. Mr. William Stevenson, General Secretary of the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., launched a series of "membership banquets" at the "Y" on Thursday night with a full table and an appreciative membership. The Liberian Commission were the honored guests. These functions were given with the view of forming a better get-to-gether spirit of good fellowship and service. The table was arranged in "Y" shape, with purple and white for the colors. Two courses were served by the newly elected "social committee" the members of which displayed their taste and ability to really serve. Prof. J. Francis Gregory, of the Miner Normal school was the principal speaker of the evening. He spoke on the theme of "The Spirit that Beckons Us." He spoke of the spirit of the great colored men that have passed away, as in inspiration in various fields of endeavor. Particularly did he emphasize the physical training and the great work to be accomplished by the schools and Y. M. C. A.'s of the country, in physical culture. This was a timely and brilliantly delivered appeal for keeping physically fit. Office: 920 U St., N. W. In The ON TIDA ung Girl TRIBUNE PASSES 4000 MARK In its upward march to power and prestige, The Tribune, Washington's greatest and most popular newspaper, passed the four thousand mark in circulation. The Tribune today is the fastest growing paper in the United States. The Tribune takes pains to investigate the accuracy of all its news articles, which in a large measure accounts for its success. It states the facts. OFFICER REH'S CASE TO COME TO TRIAL ON JUNE 24TH The trial of James Hawkins, who was brutally assaulted June 9th, by policeman F. R. Reh and David Hadnut, at the ball park, will come up June the 24th. At this trial it is expected that the evidence will show that Reh's assault was unwarranted. The petition of the citizens, which appeared exclusively in The Tribune on the 11th, was sent to Maj. Gessford Friday; and on Saturday Policeman Reh was transferred from No. 8 Precinct. If the trial develops sufficient evidence in the case, charges will be filed against both the policemen, with a view to their dismissal from the force. Hadnut is already under suspension and had no authority for striking Hawkins with his concealed black-jack. CLASS NIGHT AT DUNBAR "That was fine." "It was something different." Those were the expressions heard after the excellent program at the Dunbar Auditorium Wednesday night. Principal Garnet C. Wilkerson said: "We are trying to get away from the old type of class day programs, where only a few can take part. We have tried to encourage our children to do big things—not to over-reach themselves but to make an attempt to express themselves and develop their own strong points." Last year was the first attempt along this line, when "The Negro in American History," was presented for the class night program.

Net Circulation in the City 4,000 PRICE 5 CENTS eir Home L BASIN BODIES FOUND BY BROTHER Refusal To Answer Door Bell Caused Friends To Investigate SUICIDE THEORY DROPPED Mystery Surrounds Finding Bodies in Same Bed and Room Mrs. Lenora McCary and her daughter, Miss Maude McCary, were found dead in their home, 1523 Columbia Street, N. W., Sunday evening about 8:30 p. m. They met their death by gas poisoning which was pronounced an accident by the coroner. Rev. W. H. McCary, son and brother of the dead women, stated that someone phoned him about eight o'clock Sunday evening that persons had been to his mother's home and no one answered the bell, and the morning paper was yet at the front door. He came over, arriving about 8:30. On opening the door he smelled gas, running up stairs, he found his mother and sister lying in his mother's bed. The mother was cold in death; his sister's body was warm. Soon other persons arrived, they worked over his sister endeavoring to restore her, but their efforts were futile and after an hour's time they gave up as gas poisoning spots began to appear at various places on her body. Rev. McCary stated that when he arrived he found the window of his mother's room open and the connecting door between his mother's and sister's room open, with the window in his sister's room also open. The only theory that he could advance for the accident, was that his mother was not feeling well and that his sister was waiting on her. That she must have lain down with her mother, to be near when she should call. Leaving the gas jet burning low, the wind must have blown it out and the gas escaping therefrom, caused the death of his mother and sister. The extraordinary circumstances in this case are the windows being up and the connecting door open. It has been the theory that gas is lighter than air, and will not bank in an open room. However, the two women are dead and their brother claims that he was the first to arrive at the home and found the windows up and door open. The coroner reported the case as an accident. When first reported, people living in the community of the McCary home considered it as suicide. The rumor spread that Miss McCary worked in the Bureau of Engraving as a white girl and was found to be colored and was denied the use of the white girls' dressing room. This humiliation was that to be the incentive for suicide. Upon investigation, it was found that this happened about a year ago and could hardly have been the cause for this occurrence at this time. CONTRIBUTE TO FIGHT SEGREGATION Do you want to be jim crowed on trains and cars entering Washington? A case is now pending which will decide just where you must ride. You have all to gain in this case. Are you interested in your own salvation? If so get busy. About $150 is needed to get the necessary papers, etc., in order that the case may be properly presented. The Tribune is raising a fund for this cause and has contributed $5. What will you contribute? Your cooperation is needed. 2 INVESTIGATION REVEALS DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS IN BUREAU OF ENGRAVING An investigation of conditions in the much talked of Bureau of Engraving, has found them to be unbearable. We shall make a full exposure of these conditions as they have been found to actually exist. This is the first article of the series. Next week an article will cover the "Bosses and their treatment of employees." A state of peonage in "The Bureau"—it sounds absurd; but after months of careful investigation, we have facts to prove that conditions are deplorable in many government departments, and since the Bureau is the most arbitrarily controlled, we will begin our expose there. We will present the facts and let Congress and the people decide whether such administration is justified in law or in logic. For years the Negro press has been silent—in the vernacular "bought off by petty appointments." The N. A. A. C. P. did not know because the employees' lips were sealed for fear of dismissal; but from their unwilling testimony we now have sufficient evidence on which to base serious charges. Our investigation shows that in many divisions there is no standardized day's work and whenever there is a shortage of help, the girls are worked like dogs. Both men and women are woefully underpaid and have been for years. This is true in spite of the fact that thousands of dollars have been turned back into the Treasury—money which Congress meant for the employees to share. Also, thousands of dollars are spent in useless experimentation on machines that serve little or no purpose. The latest machines (laundry mangles to all appearances) have absorbed so much of other men's ideas that we doubt if a patent can be obtained thereon. Employees—per diem employees—are often made to work from a half hour to an hour overtime and receive neither money nor thanks. All this is contrary to law and the order of the Secretary of Treasury. Three-fourths of all the employees who have not some other income are in debt. This explains why there are so many thefts. The line of segregation is as tightly drawn as on a peonage farm in Georgia. At every turn one is reminded of color. Seniority is nullified. Efficiency does not count. Attendance means nothing unless it is poor. Good deportment means humility. Promotions are bribes rather than the reward of merit. In appointments, in promotions, and in every adjustment or re-adjustment there is discrimination. Petty bosses are so numerous that one hardly knows whom to obey. The employee has no rights that they are bound to respect. To contend, therefore, is impudence. Colored normal and high school graduates who stood highest on the Civil Service roll have been denied appointments, while, white girls, almost illiterate, have been appointed without examination. Colored men and boys of good reputation and better education have been barred while whites of doubtful reputation and in some case without civil service requirements are admitted on mere application. No wonder there are so many thieves in a Department where honesty should be at a premium. Only last week one Hopkins (white) was sentenced to a term in prison for stealing unfinished securities. H. Platt (white) is now under indictment on a similar charge. One Johnson (white) was trapped with stolen goods or securities in his possession by a colored employee named Christian. Johnson was serving time at last accounts. Since these thefts and dismissals other securities have been reported lost. That is sufficient proof that all the thieves have not been caught. Once in every while the honest employees are asked to contribute from their trivial earnings to make up the shortages created by these thefts and thus indirectly help care for the thieves. The relief looked for under 'the Harding administration has not been forthcoming. Instead, a sinister movement is alleged to be on foot in which all colored clerks are being grouped into sections that are expected to be later declared non-essential; thereby causing hundreds of efficient workers to be laid off, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921 C.

Mr. perienced swimmer a GIRL RESERVES FORM COUNCIL The great increase in the enrollment of High School Girl Reserves has made a governing body necessary. It was decided that a High School Council should be formed of representatives from each club to act on all matters concerning the clubs in general. In order to become acquainted with the work of such a council, the Girl Reserves of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. invited Mrs. Taylor, the Girl's Work Secretary and two officers of the High School Council of the F Street "Y" to visit them and tell them of some of their council's activities. Two representatives from each of High School clubs met Mrs. Taylor and her girls on Monday, June 13. The meeting was interesting as well as instructive. The visitors explained the advantages derived from having a council and cleared up all puzzling details for the members of the new council. After the adjournment of the meeting, the Phyllis Wheatley girls were very proud to show the building to their guests who expressed great admiration. The prospect of forming a council so enthused the girls that they voted to organize immediately. The following officers were elected: Bernice Chism, President; Leonora Scott, Vice-President; Wenonah Bond, Secretary-Treasurer. Installation Services for the officers were planned to be held in the near future and to which all High School Girl Reserves are invited. Visitors at the Y. W. C. A. for the week: Hon. William H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass.; Pres. Davis, of the West Virginia Institute and Prof. Carter G. Woodson of the same school; Mr. and Mrs. E. A.

GIRL RESERVE HAPPENINGS On Thursday afternoon June 9, twenty-four girls were initiated into the Willing Worker's, Blue Bird, and Montgomery School Corps of the Girl Reserves. The Blue Trinagle Corps under Miss Kitty Bruce presented a drama "Young Doctor Devine" on Friday night June 10 and on the next night the Chain of Friendship Girl Reserves under Miss Esther Peyton gave a Barn Party. The boys and girls, numbering more than one-hundred, made quite a pretty sight, the boys in shirtwaists and the girls in aprons and bonnets. The Elizabeth C. Carter Girl Reserves who are under the leadership of Mrs. L. R. Brent presented the Boy Scouts of Metropolitan Church with an American flag. The girls in their uniforms served the church as ushers during the Children's Day exercises on Sunday morning. The members of the High School Council of the F Street Y. W. C. A. with Mrs. Taylor, the Girls' Work Secretary, visited the girls of the High School Council of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. on Monday afternoon. The meeting proved a source of information and inspiration to both councils. On Monday night June 13, the Paramount Club of the Miner Normal School rendered a very unique program in the "gym" which was followed by a jolly social. The Mother and Daughter Banquet given by the Phyllis Wheatley Girl Reserves under Mrs. M. F. Thompson was well attended and greatly enjoyed by the mothers who went away with a greater understanding and appreciation of what the association is trying while whites, who have been employed for only a short time will be retained.

Let REV- ERENCE FOR THE LAWS be breathed by every American mother to lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let is be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges, let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legisla- tive halls, and ENFORCED IN COURTS OF JUSTICE. “In short, let it become the practi cal religion of the nation.” The colored press is clamoring for this same principle. See how closely the editors have followed Lincoln's injunction. ‘The Pittsburgh American “The Tulsa riot is but another bloody index to the dire necessity for law and law enforcement. President Hard- ing, who has so eloquently announced himself in regard to the spirit of law- lessness, needs only to observe the shameful Tulsa spectacle and there behold the reason why America stands today embarrassed and disgraced be- fore the civilized world. If the presi- dent proposes to fulfill his promises to aid America to become a Democracy in fact as well as in name, let him haster to deal with the Southern predilection for lynching and mob violence, which evils were in very truth the direct cause for America’s most recent shame.” ‘The New York News “The cause for the great disgrace of American democracy is simply the nation is unwilling to enforce its Con- stitution in spirit and letter which guaranteed to all men equal protection of the laws without regard to race, creed or color. The issue is clear cut. ‘The nation cannot with safety to itself in the year of our Lord, 1921, postpone the settlement of that issue longer. The strong arm of the federal govern- ment must stop in its tracks, the hydra headed monster of mob law .or the dreadfal day of nation-wide reckoning is not far distant.” ‘The Negro World, New York “This is where the harm of dis- franchisement, jim crow cars and seg- regation comes in. The mere depriva- tion of casting the ballot, the mere denial of the comforts and luxuries of travel and the being set apart in restricted localities are not the worst things about the curtailment of the Negro’s civil and political rights. The reflex psychological reaction upon the Negro himself and upon his white townsmen is the worst thing. The Negro tends to regard himself as less than a man. And the white citizens are led to regard him as less than man and not entitled to the same legal protection that the white man would enjoy under similar circumstances. . . Regarded as less than a man, a certain| place is assigned to the Negro. If he gets too educated or too prosperous, he is charged with putting on airs and of thinking himself as good as a white man. Then he is taken down a peg’ or two and taught to know his place.” The St. Louis Argus “If we are to judge by press re- ports, ‘only Negroes will be haled before the courts and punished for rioting and murder. This is strongly indicated by what is called a digested statement appearing in last Sunday’s| St. Louis Post Dispatch. It is shrewd- 1y written so as to put all the blame| on the Negroes.” ‘The Detroit Times “The uneven score demonstrates| where the blame lies. Ten-to-one kill- ing is not done in self defense.

These | stroeities by depraved fool, whites, |hurts and lowers their own race a | thousand-fold more than ail the crimes | that will be committed by colored cri- | minals to the end of time.” The Afro-American, Baltimore, Me “Millions of thoughtful Negroes will thank God for the Tulsa riot as an- other index of progress. “As long as we have yellow jour- /nals like the Tulsa daily and the local | Sun and American, which feature dis- orderly cases involving black men and | white women and close their columns to the same class of cases when white men molest black women, there will be lynchings or rumors of lynch- ings—UNLESS Black men will re- solve with God as they did at Tulsa, that the law will be upheld, even tho it cost home and church and business and life.” ‘The Norfolk Journal And Guide “The Afro-American is fighting back—meeting violence with violence. And one may be pretty certain that, taking the cue from Tulsa, the Afro- American will fight fire for fire in future riots.” The Philadelphia American “One hopeful sign, however, is that 'the Negro fought back. He armed ‘himself. He secured automobiles. He |went to the protection of the incar- |eerated man and fought to the death, It may be however, that they have |received the worst of this clash, but they have oo-fan-given-s good account of themselves. This we believe, is the ‘only way that we will ever stop race riots. When the white criminal and ‘hoodlum, loafer and murderer is given ‘to understand that when he attacks ‘the law-abiding, self-respecting Negro, ‘either as an individual or in masses, he is taking chances on his own life, and that the Negro will be a foe worthy of his steel, he will think twice before he acts.” The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. | “Many of the ring leaders among the white rioters and men who did | most of the shooting, carried arms as ‘special officers. “If the South does not mend its ways toward its colored citizens, which means that its politics of ne- cessity, will have to be improved, there will never be an end to its race troubles. “It is sheer mockery and waste of time to expect southern white soldiers to protect colored people as soldiers should from the savage attacks of white criminals.” The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune “There is just one way; and that is according to justice and absolute right. There can be no two stand- ards in the market-place or in the courts; there can be no two plans of education in the common schools; there can be no two sets of qualifica- tions for the functions of full citizen- ship. The Negro citizen, honorable and capable and thrifty, must event- ually exercise the full function of citi- zenship. He must have the right to vote; the chance to serve his govern- ment if other citizens desire it; equal ‘opportunity before the law; equal ad- vantages for his children; equality ac- cording to his merits as a law-abiding respectable citizen everywhere. This has not been.” ‘The Pittsburgh Courier “There is little doubt in the official mind of Washington that something will have to be done to make America safe for Americans. Every day new evidence of the need of a saving reme- dy is making itself felt in undenia- ble terms. “Tt seems providential that the Tul- sa riots should come to serve notice on official Washington that some reme- that men are ready to fight back. It is nothing that fire is‘ to be fought with fire. This is not Americanism as we preach it. It is not the spirit that sent us forth to save the world from the blood thirsty Germans. Shall we out-German the Germans? “The government at Washington may be busy with Haiti, France, the Germans, the Japs or what not. But its biggest job lies at its feet. Let us have a remedy and let us have it Now.” Here is food for serious thot res- pecting the economic side and the pos- sibility of retribution, as expressed by the following” editors: “Compensation is an exact balance between give and take. Tulsa-Pueblo” —Pittsburgh American. ‘The New York Amsterdam News “Refugees reaching New York from ‘Tulsa report that the riot, round-up and slaughter was prearranged some- time ago by white wage earners on the one hand and oil speculators on the other, who desired: to get the oil lands owned by colored people by ter- ror, as they had. refused to sell them, ‘The warnings were printed in the daily papers and posted on the streets of the city. “The Afro-American people have reached an awful crises in their man- ‘hood and citizenship! Lawful author- ity and lynchocracy appear to join hands to destroy them, while the Na- tional Government stands by consent- ing.” The Denver Star arise a Fok SEARS SPN man with a white skin and soul, not ‘only wanting what was in a Negrc home, but actually over riding all law, justice, peace and common decency by ‘destroying the homes to pack away a piano, a brass bed, a victrola and other evidences of modern civilization? ‘Think of the white man in Tulsa being compelled to steal these Christian and humanizing evidences of culture and refinement from a Negro Home! Think of the white business men of Tulsa ‘so jealous, envious and filled with race prejudice as to render them wholly incompetent of a fair, successful com- petition in business, trade and finance that they would acquiesce in the burn- ing down of six or eight blocks teem- ing with Negro segregated business ‘houses and commercial and industrial ‘activities! Then, after the fire, un- ‘molested by the city firemen, had razed those beautiful places, evidences of years of struggle, sacrifice and in- tellectual business genius, to the ‘ground, even these philanthropic Tul- ‘sans desired the NEGROES to MOVE ‘their places of businesses already built ‘up and established to somewhere on the edge or outskirts of town, for- sooth that these white men wanted this section for the extension of their commercial pursuits. “The answer and the real cause of the wholesale mobbing, business ruin and burning ereeps out on every hand ‘and nothing but a pure rank jealousy against that ever increasing dollar the Negro was earning, shows out so majestically, It was not a riot, it was a pogram or a slaughter of the in- nocents, just like in Russia when the Jews were butchered. Why dignify it with the terms of riot.” The Pittsburgh Courier “The whole situation summed discloses that the whites were guilty of more crime than were the blacks ‘The whites committed the more hein. ous crimes; they resorted to the lowes! type of crime, and the Negroes wer the victims. “In placing blame and punishment ‘the whites deserve far greater punish: ment than the blacks. The whites se fire to the homes of the innocent ‘people and after the ravages of th fire, robbed the helpless victims. Th ‘whites were the aggressors, in accus- ing the Negro of crime which has ‘not been proven; they were the ag. gressors in forming a mob to lynch 2 human being; they were the aggress: ors in burning the homes of innocent ‘people; and finally, they were the ag- gressors in robbing the fallen home: of the victims who had nothing to de with the disorder. “And God furnished a striking ex- ample of quick retribution. He visited ‘the innocent at Pueblo and altho the ‘mob killed 25 Negroes in Tulsa, the waters of God swept from the earth 3000 whites who were as law-abiding ‘as were the innocent Negroes who lost their homes at the hands of the mob in Tusa. God had nothing to do with the mob at Tulsa; but He demonstra- ted how much are to be pitied any innocent people who are visited witk unexpected destruction.” CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my thanks, and deep appreciation to the friends, neighbors and business associates of my late husband, I. ‘T.

ADDITIONAL THEATER NEWS bee lonee mare anacme i8 the scin Sivas ‘star who will be seen in “The Passion ‘Flower” at the Dunbar Theatre all next week. The management is proud to announce this super-attraction, which is adapted from Jacinton Bena- vente’s play of the same name, because ‘it represents the most artistic and fascinating production that has’ yet ‘comte from the Talmadge studios. Benavente, who wrote the play, won the Noble prize for literature last lyear, He ie the author of eighty plays and is known as the greatest living dramatist of Spain. “The Passion Flower” was a Broadway hit last sea- ‘son with Nance O'Neil playing the role of Raimunda, the mother. In the screen ‘version, however, Norma portrays the alluring daughter, Acacia, in this dra- ‘matic story of Castilian peasant life in which a vivid plot of love, hate and ages is unfolded. “The Passion Flower” gives Norma he first opportunity to appear in a Spanish role, in which she is said to be at her emotional best. Harison ‘Ford and Courtenay Foote appear in ‘the leading male characterizations op- ‘posite the star. Others in the east are ‘Natalie Talmadge, Eulalie Jensen Charles Stevenson, Alice May, Rober! Agnew and Robert Payton Gibb. ‘The production was directed by Her- bert Brenon, a recognized genius of his profession, who recently returned to America from the Old World. It is released by Associated First Na- tional Pictures, Inc. “The Passion Flower,” in its cinema form, is the last word in splendid motion picture enter- tainment, and theatrezoers will see the very popular Norma in her most am- bitious and interesting vehicle to date. HORSE ONCE MORE BECOMES THE HERO. _ Horses have been supplanted by the telephone, as well as by the automo: ‘bile. Millions of readers of “Black Beauty,” the tremendously popular “Autobiography of a Horse,” by Anni Sewell, will remember John's wild ride ‘on Black Beauty to summon the doc tor when Mrs. Gordon was at the point of death. The physician would be ‘called by telephone today. Yet, with “the pasing of the horse” from many fields of former ser- ‘vice, since Anna Sewell wrote her won- derful book more than forty years ago, “man’s noblest friend’ still holds a firm place in the heart of humanity and “Black Beauty” holds eighth place among the world’s most popular books In preparing the motion picture ver- sion, to visualize “Black Beauty” as a Vitagraph all star special produc- tion, Mr. and Mrs. George Randolph Chester labored long and earnestly to insure the faithful and accurate pres- entation of Anna Sewell’s story, as she wrote it, on the screen. “Black Beauty” will be shown at the Dunbar theatre on Friday and Sat- urday. In the picture play, as in the story Squire Gordon, Jessie Gordon, Harry Blomefield and all the other humans in the book, appear in the dress of the early seventies, the period in which the action was laid. ‘There are no telephones, no electrie lights, no auto- mobiles. In this respect, as in all others, the picture version has been kept true to the story as told by Anna Sewell. Without in any way encroaching upon the original “Black Beauty” story, the Chesfers have added the thrilling human romance, going on in- doors while Black Beauty was living in the outdor story. The result is one of the most appealing picture dramas ever produced. CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG'S LAV- ISH GOWNS SET HIGH WATER- MARK FOR EXPENDITURE. Motion-picture fans have lately been victimized by one announcement after another that a forthcoming production was the “most lavish” ever mgde. It seems to be forgotten that extrava- gance in itself is no credit to a photo- play, unless the luxury of scene and setting serves to heighten the action of the picture as a whole. That this point has been realized by the Equity Pictures Corporation is convincingly shown in their latest Clara Kimball Young photodrama “Straight From Paris,” written by the celebrated Sada Cowan, who won her laurels as the writer of “Hush,” Miss Young's former starring medium. , Evidently the producers felt that in filming a picture on the sparkling ro- mance of society life, a typical French surrounding was necessary to heighten the realism of the action. That is why, in “Straight From Paris” the spectator not only enjoys a delicious love-story that includes old aristocracy in its intrigue, but surveys a succes- sion of gowns, robes and the smartest creations of French fashion in an a- bundance and richness that is enchant- ing. A session at this artistic master- piece of screen production proves once ‘more that Clara Kimball Young is an artiste i every sense and a supreme master in the skill of adorment. eee ae F HOWARD THEATRE | Manager Vincent B. Thomas of the 'The Howard Theatre announces as his headline attraction extraordinary for next week, Dr. C.

Sir:—Being possessed with a burn- ing desire to give public expression to my heartfelt gratitude to their Ma- jesties for the great honor they saw fit to bestow upon me—a humble ser- vant of the peoples of my race as well ‘as all the peoples of the worli—by the command to appear before their Maj- esties at Buckingham Palace on Satur- day last, I am writing this letter with the hope that you may be kind enough to publish it in your columns. My feelings were deep and pro- found when their Majesties gave ex- pression to their enjoyment of my singing, and complimented my voice and art, and I was greatly touched by their presentation of a beautiful pin with the Royal monogram sur- mounted by the Imperial Crown as a token of their appreciation. Words fail adequately to express my delight and satisfaction. One of the things that struck me most forcibly and one which I enjoyed to the full was their Majesties’ ex- treme simplicity, homeliness, and hu- man regard. From the moment I was brought into their presence I realized that I was with friends, and during the time I was before them I left absolutely at home. I shall never for- get the joy which that hour aorded me and the encouragement they gave, which thoroughly equips me for the goal I have set out to reach. I was also greatly honored that their Majesties expressed an interest in the purpose for which I have come to this country—that of giving the inhabitants of Great Britain a further opportunity of knowing the Negro’s capabilities in the field’ of vocal art, and that of my intentions to visit the NOTED DIVINES TO SPEAK AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Va., June 14—The Rev Laurene2 Fenninger, who is the chap. lain at Hampton, Institute, hos an- nounced, as secretary of the Ministers Conference of Hampton Institute, th program for the e’ghth annual meet- ing, which will be held from June 27 to July 1 in Memorial Church. “The Ministers’ Conference of Hampton In. stitute,’ says Mr. Fenninger, “was on- ganized to afford an opportunity to to ministers of all denominations t meet for a few days of study an¢ diseusison of the great common prob- lems which they are facing in thei work.” ‘The following Conference lecturers have been secured: Rev.

We are investiga- ting almost everything else.” land of my forefathers for the pur- pose of studying the origin of Negro music and—as far as I am able—to assist in its development. My felicity was enhanced and 1 was deeply moved by his Majesty's inquiry about my aged mother—the dearest and best friend I have in this world—I am sure that his Majesty did not realize how thoroughly I was af- fected by his inquiry. No man can fail in the enjoyment of the richest blesings of this life whose regard for humble peoples is made manifest in the manner exemplified by his Majesty on Saturday last. I shall always crave the blessings of the All- Kind Father upon his Majesty, the Royal Family, ana the great nation over which he is the distinguished ruler. In addition to the foregoing. I wish to express my sincere thanks to all those friends who in every possible way have supported me in my work in London during the past eleven months, and who have in any way as- sisted if bringing me success as well as securing me the great honour which it is the extreme pleasure of me and all members of the Negro race to enjoy—because in honorouring me their Majesties have honoroured all of them.

RARE MUSICAL PROGRAM AT DUNBAR HIGH The Musical Department of Dunbar High School, of which Miss Mary L. Europe is instructor, rendered a "Major Musical Program" at the morning exercises, Wednesday. It was called "the fourth annual program of original composition." There were sixteen members on the program; thirteen of which were original compositions by members of the various musical classes. These students supplement their musical training at Dunbar, by taking private lessons from recognized teachers and are given credits accordingly. Miss Europe said that she was proud of the work accomplished by the students appearing on this program, for it was an evidence of their developing along composition lines. "However," she said, "we have simply been writing for the practice in composition, not that we expect finished product here, but to acquaint them with the art and increase their confidence in their ability and possibilities." "Lullaby"—words and music by Clementine Hart and sung by Theodore Swann, is worthy of special mention as was "Matin Au Printemps" by Mary Morton. Possibly the best number on the program was the waltz "The Call of Spring" by Montrose Hunt. This program places Dunbar in the front line for initiative and originalit The students are taking greater interest in their music because of the opportunity for expression, not only in rendering music but in producing the composition as well. LARGE CLASS TO GRADUATE AT DUNBAR One of the largest classes that have finished at Dunbar High, will receive their diplomas there Tuesday, June 21, 165 in all.

As the United States approaches first place amongst the powers, Washington will become the most important Capital in the world. Whatever customs prevail here will be given serious consideration elsewhere. With the large construction plans for buildings, highways and parks, there is persistent evidence that our colored citizens are to be subjected to the most humiliating system of discrimination ever practiced upon loyal taxpayers. It must be said to our discredit that we have failed to meet this vicious and hope-destroying propaganda with anything like the organized effort which it employs. When these anti-Negro statesmen, who threaten to hold up appropriations unless their wishes are respected, establish us on a basis of permanent inferiority, in Washington, the capital of the United States, you may rest assured that we shall be treated no better in other cities. A few colored citizens have contended for equal recreational facilities, but we are always met with the argument that we show so little interest that they must provide for all of the whites before doing anything for us. Because we would be obnoxious to some of the white bathers in the Tidal Basin we are forbidden the use of the municipal bathing beach. While in many instances they have had colored nurses, and have eaten food prepared by colored hands, still their silly prejudices must be upheld. All last month in the long line at the Tax Collector's Office, colored men and women did their bit. There was no discrimination there. Unless the colored citizens of Washington get together quickly on the question of buildings and grounds and follow our taxes with more civic interest, we shall find ourselves permanently excluded from all civil rights in the District. We must organize our churches, schools and societies to combat this steady encroachment upon civic rights and to insist upon better treatment from the police, the street paving and cleaning departments, the playgrounds and the daily newspapers, which we support so liberally. POPULATION OF MARYLAND BY SEX, COLOR, AND NATIVITY The Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, today issued a preliminary statement showing the composition of the population of Maryland according to sex, color, and nativity, as shown by the census taken as of January 1, 1920.

The lend went straight home, full through the neck and slant- Ing down through the breast, and the coyote recolled as if an trresistible hand had smitten him. It is doubtful if there was even q muscular quiver after Graycoat struck the ground, not twenty feet from where Dan stood. And the rifle report echoed back to find only silence. Lennox got up off the ground and moved’ over toward the dead coyote. He looked a tong time at the gray body. And then he stepped back to where Dan waited on the trail. “T take it all back,” he sald simply. “You take what back?” “What I thought about you—that the Falling line had gone to the dogs. Til never call you a tenderfoot again. But tell me one thing. I saw the way you looked down the barrel. I could see how firm you held the rifle —the way you kept your head. And that 1s all like your grandfather. But why, when you had a repeating rifle, id _you wait so long to shoot?” “I just had one cartridge in my gun. I @idn’t think of it until the coyote charged.” Lennox’s answer was the last thing fm the world to be expected. He opened his straight mouth and uttered a great, boyish yell of Joy. His eyes seemed to light. ‘The eyes of the two men met, and Lennox shook him by the shoulder. : “You're not Dan Falling’s grandson —you're Dan Failing himself!” ‘he shouted. “No one but him would have THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921 had self-control to wait till the game was almost on top of him—no one but him would have kept his head in a time like this. You're Dan Failing himself, I tell you, come back to earth. Grandson nothing! You're a throwback, and now you've got those glasses off, T can see his eyes looking right out of yours. Step on ‘em Dan. You'll never need ‘em again. And give up that {dea of dying in four months right now; I'm going to make you live. We'll fight that disease to a finish— and win!” And that {s the way that Dan Fall- ing came into his heritage in the land of his own people, and in which a new spirit was born in him to fight— and win—and live. s BOOK TWO # +: The Debt. CHAPTER I. the Umpqua divide—that far wilder- ness of endless, tree-clad ridges where Dan Falling had gone for his last days. Everywhere the forest people were preparing for the winter that would fall so quickly when these gold- en September days were done. The Under Plane of the forest—those smaller peoples that live in the dust and have beautiful, tropteal forests in the ferns—found themselves digging holes and filling them with stores of food. Of course they had no Idea on earth why they were doing it, except that a quiver at the end of thelr tails told them to do so; but the result was entirely the same, ‘They would have a shelter for the winter, But the most noticeable change of all, in these days of summer, was a distinct tone of sadness that sound- ed throughout the forest. Of course the wilderness note 1s always some- what sad; but now, as the leaves fell and the grasses died, tt seemed par- ticularly pronounced, All the forest voices added to {t—the wall of the geese, the sad finttering of fallen leaves, and even the whisper of the north wind. Of course all the tones and voices of the wilderness sound clearest at night—for that 1s the time that the forest really comes to Iife— and Dan Falling, sitting in front of Lennox’s house, watching the late September moon rise over Bald moun- ‘tain, could hear them very plainly. /_ It was true that In the two months “he had spent in the mountains he had Teamed to be very receptive to the -volees of the wilderness, Lennox had ‘not been mistaken in thinking him a natural woodsman. He had Imagina- tlon and insight and sympathy; but most of all he had a heritage of wood- lore from his frontiersmen ancestors. ‘Two months before he had been a resident of cities. Now the wilder- “ness had claimed him, body and soul. | ‘These had been rare days. At first he had to limit his expeditions to a few miles each day, and even then he “would come in at night staggering from weariness. He climbed hills that seomed to tear his diseased lungs to sbreds. Lennox wouldn't have been afraid, in-a crisis, to trust his marks: ‘manship now, He had. the natural cold nerve of a marksman, and one twilight he brought the body of a lynx tumbling through the branches of a pine at a distance of two hundred yards. He got so he could shatter a grouse out of the air in the half of a “second or so in which Its bronze wings glinted in the shrubbery; and when a man may do this a falr number of times out of ten he Is on the straight road toward greatness. ‘Then there came a day when Dan caught his first steelhead in the North Fork, ‘There is no more beautiful thing in the wilderness world than a steelhead trout in action. He simply seems to dance on the surface of the water, leaping again and again, and racing at an unheard-of speed down the ripples. He weighs only from three to fifteen poun¢s. But now and again amateur fishermen without souls have tried to pull him in with main strength, and are still somewhat dazed by the result. It might be done with a steel cable, but an ordinary line or leader breaks Ike a cobweb. When his majesty the steelhead takes the fly and decides to run. it can be learned after a time that the one ‘thing that may be done fs to let out all the line and with prayer and humble- ness try to keep up with him, Dan no longer wore his glasses Every day his eyes had strengthened. He could see more clearly now, with his unaided eyes, than he had ever Seen before with the help of the lens. And the moonlight came down through rift in the trees and showed that his face had changed, too. It was no longer 0 white. The eyes were more intent. The lips were straighter. “It's been two months,” Silas. Len- nox told him, “half the four that you fave yourself_after you arrived here. And you're twice as good now as when you came.” Dan nodded. “Twice! Ten times 88 good! I was a wreck when I came, ‘Today I climbed halfway up Baldy— within a half mile of Snowbird’s cab- in—without stopping to rest.” Lennox looked thoughtful. More than once, of late, Dan had climbed up that his guest and hs daughter had that his guest and his become the best of companions In the two months; but on second thought, Lennox was not in the a eee of complications. The love ‘moun- tain women does not go out to phys- feal inferiors. “Whoever gets her,” he had said, “will have to tame her,” and his words still held good. The ‘mountain women rarely mistook a ms- ‘ternal tenderness for an sppealing man for jove. It wasn't oe See weak except from his. Bane rere Grete oo 5: ag errs from Snowbird’s ideal. Although Dan had courage and that same rigid self- control that was an old quality in his breed, he was still a long way from a physically strong man. It was still an even break whether he would ever wholly recover from his malady. But Dan was not thinking about this now. All his perceptions had sharpened down to the finest focal point, and he was trying to catch the spirit of the endless forest that stretched in front of the house. His pipe had gone out, and for a long time Lennox hadn’t spoken, He seemed to be straining too, with ineffective senses, trying to recognize and name ‘the faint sounds that came so tingling and tremulous out of the darkness. As always, they heard the stir and rustle of the gnawing people; the chipmunks tn the shrubbery, the gophers who, Ike blind misers, had ventured. forth from thelr dark burrows; and per haps even the scaly glide of those most-dreaded poison people that had lairs in the rock piles, Dan felt that at last the wilderness Itself was speaking to him. He had waited a long time to hear its voice, His. thought went back to the wise men of the ancient world, waiting to hear the riddle of the universe from the lips of the Sphinx, and how he himself—more in his unconscious self, rather than conscious—had sought the eternal riddle of the wilderness. He had asked questions—never in the form of words but only ineffable yearnings of his soul—and at last it had responded. ‘The strange rising and falling song was its own voice, the articulation of the very heart and soul of the wilderness. “It’s the wolf pack,” Lennox told him softly. “The wolves have just Joined together for the fall rutting.” “Then this means the end of the summer?” Dan asked. “In a‘way, but yet we don't count the summer ended until the rains break. Heavens, I wish they would start! I've never seen the hills so dry, and I'm afraid that elther Bert Cranston or some of his friends will decide It’s time to make a little mon- ey fighting forest fires. Dan.

I believe they've got a regular arson ring, maybe witl “unscrupulous stockmen behind them and perhaps Just a penny-winuing deal of their own. I suppose you know about Landy Hildreth—how he's prom ised to turn state's evidence that wil! send about a dozen of these vipers tc "the penitentiary?” “Snowbird told me something abou ite “He's got a cabin over toward the marshes, and it has come to me tha “he's going to start tomorrow, or maybe has already started today, down Int the valley to give his evidence. 0! "course, that is deeply confidential be tween you and me. If the gang knew about {t, he'd never get through the thickets alive.” But Dan was hardly listening, His attention was caught by the hushed intermittent sounds that are always te be heard, if one listens keenly enough in the wilderness at night. “T wish the pack would sound again,” be sald “Ll suppose It was bunting.” “Of course. And there is no living ‘thing In these woods that can stand against a wolf pack in its full strength.” “Except man, of course.” “A strong man, with an accurate pifer of course, and except possibly in the starving times in winter he'd never have to Sight them. All the beasts of prey are out tonight. You see, Dan, when the moon shines, the deer feed at night instead of in the twilights and the dawn. And of course the wolves and the cougars hunt the deer. It may be that they are running cattle, or even sheep.” But Dan's imagination was afire. He wasn't content yet. “They couldn't be—hunting man?” he asked. “No. If it was midwinter and the pack was starving, we'd have to Iis- ten better. It always looked to me as if the wild creatures had a law gaint killing men, just as humans ‘have. ‘They've learned tt doesn't pay —something the wolves and bears of Europe and Asia haven't found out. ‘The naturalists say that the reason {5 rather simple—that the European ‘Peasant, his soul scared out of him by the government he lived under, has always fled from wild beasts.

And one weal have wondered a long time as to what entised [t, It was simply that | he was shivering all over with hate “and fury. A twig cracked. far on the ridge above him. He leaned forward, peer- ‘ing, and the moonlight showed his ‘face in unsparing detail, It revealed the deep lines, the terrible, drawn lips, the ugly hair long over the dark ears. His strong hands tightened “upon the breech of the rifle. His wiry figure grew tense. | Of course It wouldn't do to let his “prey come too close, Landy Hildreth was 9 good shot too, young as Cran- ‘ston, and of equal strength: and no sporting chance could be taken tn this hunting. Cranston had no Intention of giving his enemy even the slightest chance to defend himself. If Hildreth got down Into the valley, his testl- mony would make short work of the arson ring. He had the goods; he had been a member of the disreputable crowd himself. The man's steps were quite distinct by now. Cranston heard him fighting ‘his way through the brush thickets, and once a flock of grouse, frightened from thelr perches by the approaching figure, flew down the trail in front. Cranston pressed back the hammer of his rif_e. ‘The click sounded loud in the silence. He had grown tense and still, and the leaves no longer rustled. » His eyes were intent on a little clearing, possibly one hundred yards up the trail. The trail itself went straight through ft.

But per- ‘haps he had walted too tong for Hh! ‘dreth to come; and the strain had told on him, He had sworn to take no false steps; that every motion he ‘made should be cool and sure, He didn’t want to attract Hildreth’s at- tention by any sudden movement.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR e QUESTION CONFRONTING GRADUATES 4 With Howard University graduating 169, Dunbar High sending out 165, Miner Normal 64, Armstrong High 60, and the Junior High 25, making a grand total of 474 graduates from these five schools, the question with many of them is, Where can I secure a position? About one hundred of these are professional men and women, which means that they have selected their field of endeavor and are seeking a location. There remaina 374. A big question confronts them—‘Where can I get a position?” This is only one city. When we think of Nashville with her many schools, Atlanta, Wilberforce, and nu- merous schools of the South, the question is multiplied just that much, “Commencement” is the proper word and hundreds of our grad- uates that are leaving the various schools this month will soon realize it, th too many cases, with regret. This old world is a cold, unsympathetic and serious stage on which to play the great game of life. Our fight is an economic one. Our graduates are practically forced to look for employment among our people. The white man has his business and industrial enterprises and his child readily finds employment. With us it is different. We have but few enterprises, not one one-hundredth enough to employ all of our graduates, here in Washington or thruout the country. We do not have enough to inspire a child to seek a business education, nor do we patronize those we have, which would prove that we would support our children if they should enter business. Every parent who has a son or daughter among this year’s graduates, should ask himself or herself this question: Can my child be inspired to enter the commercial world, and feel the least assurance of succeeding by securing the patronage of my people, because of the example that I have set? Or, have they reason to believe that because of my attitude toward colored enterprises, my trading with the other fellow, my decrying the efforts of my people, my praising the efforts and accomplishments of the other fellow, passing a colored enterprise, where my own people are employed, to patronize the white man thereby cutting out the pos- sibility of employment of my own child and my friend’s child; can they by such forceful examples, feel that they will receive support? We must establish and foster more commercial and industrial enterprises for our own economic welfare; for our own preser- vation. We have stressed education and religion and left the economic side practically untouched. There are as many colored people in the United States as there are Jews in all the world. The Jew gives due consideration to his religious obligations and educates his children; but, he has stressed the economic side of | life as well and as a result he is felt in all of the commercial cen- ters of the world. Jews are a power to be recognized thruout the world. Henry Ford found that out. It is indeed hard to understand the colored man’s psychology | when it comes to racial patronage of a commercial or industrial | enterprise. There are so many petty things that loom up so large with him: the color of the person doing business; the at- tention his family shows him, if he should possibly meet them on the street, whether they know him or not; the church he attends or don’t attend; the lodge he belongs to, or does not belong to; the friends he has or does not have; all enter into his progress and success in business. Or in other words, the colored man feels that he must take his home, social, fraternal and religious affairs into his commercial life, any one of which may become a lia- bility rather than an asset. “Where can I get a position?” is the big question that is con- fronting our graduates all over the country and especially those of our own city. Has your patronage of any given institution waranted a position for your child? Does your support of the colored banks warrant your going there for assistance in helping establish your son or daughter in a business of his or her own, or will the $40,000,000 of colored people’s money on deposit in the white banks be used to employ hundreds of the white graduates? U Street News Dealers T. W. TowNsLEy Along about the time Germany was trying to break into France, T. W. Townsley, proprietor of the Beacon Cigar Store and News stand at 1020 U Street, N. W., was breaking into the-news and cigar business and proved far more successful in his efforts than did Germany in hers. Mr. Townsley was working at the headquarters of the fire alarm department. Having a mind of his own, he decided that he would be better off in a business of his own. Therefore, he opened a newsstand and cigar store at the location mentioned. He has studied his patrons, their likes and dislikes. Accordingly, he has built up a substantial, dependable business. Mr. Townsley carries all of the leading colored weekly papers and monthly magazines that are publisheé~in this country. He also has the popular magazines that are found on every first class stand. In addition to the news end of his business, he has cigars, cigarettes, tobaccos, matches, books, writing paper‘and envelopes,. and many other notions, like art pictures, calendars, ete. A race man can hardly go into Mr. Townsley’s place without purchas- ing something racial and feeling proud of the opportunity know-. ing such a place exists. : Mr. Townsley said “TI do not regret the day, nor have I regretted THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, _ SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921. i | a single day that J cut loose fro man employer, and beeame my own employer.” Mr. Townsley is demonstrating what can be accom- | plished by our men by entering into the various lines of business. : This is the line that he prefers and he has built up a dependable | patronage. es D. J. CUNNINGHAM . The Wide World News Stand of which Mr. D. J. Cunningham is proprietor, was opened by his brother, Chas. P. Cunningham, in 1917, at 1102 U Street, N. W. Mr. D. J. came here from Califor- nia about two years ago and took over the business because his brother’s health was not so good at that time. He has built up a large patronage and handles all the colored papers and maga- zines, along with the popular ones that are to be had at first class stands. In addition to the news, Mr. Cunningham sells soft drinks, ci- gars, tobaccos, cigarettes, stationery. He is a close observer of the business conditions that affect our people and is strong for business and economic features in the colored papers. Mr. Cunningham has served in a number of capacities but feels that he is far better off trying to build up and manage a buisness of his own. Mr. Cunningham is one hundred per cent racial and is strong for racial enterprises. sf There are other people in Washington who have papers and magazines for sale, in places like drug stores, shining parlors, etc. Of such places there are more than fifty among the vari- ous types of business operated by colored people. a FUNERAL SERVICES FOR CLASS NIGHT AT DUNBAR MR. COLLINS sae The funeral services of Mr. Samuel (Continued from Page 1) L. Collins father of Mr. Alonzo Col- This year the program was made up of two parts. The first was the President’s address, the salutatory by Miss Mary Cook, a solo of an original song, written by Paul Mason and sung by Miss Theodora Swann. William H. Hastie was the valedictorian. Part two, was the rendition of “The Spirit of Fair-play” an operetta, with dances. A contest was arranged to settle a dispute as to which nation excels in singing, dancing and pic- turesqueness. The contest was pre- sided over by The Spirit of Fair-play, assisted by Miss Lady Utopia, fore- woman of a Jury composed of non- contestants. The climax was reached with Miss Columbia, in an elaborate delineation of the progress of her country, with historical types (including the Puritan, the Indian and the Negro) who made an excellent declaration that the Ne- gro will demand respect, equal oppor- tunity and justice before the world. ‘The auditorium was crowded to its limits and the play made such a fa- vorable impression that it was re- peated Thursday afternoon to an overflow audience.

Mr. Collins was a member of the Order of St. Luke which organization, assumed entire charge of the funeral services. There were many beautiful floral pieces that were expressive of the deep sympathy of a host of frinds, many of whom, gathered to pay their last tribute of respect Rev. Lewis, pastor of the First Bap- tist Church, Rosslyn, Va., who had known the deceased for a number of years ,delivered a fitting eulogy and Mrs. Julia Mason-Layton, also a de- voted friend of the family, delivered atimely talk relative to the exemplary of the life of Mr. Collins, now de- ceased. A son, Mr. Alonzo Collins, two sis- ters and one brother are left to mourn their loss. It is generally conceded by intimate friends, that Mr. Collins never recov- ered from the shock caused by the loss of his wife, Mrs. Mary E.
