Charged with killing Detective W Examined before Coroner's Jury, Returned to jail, where she spent First Trial began January 3rd, 1919. Jury rendered verdict of Mansla appealed. Bond of $5,000 secured January Second trial before Justice Siddo Johnson was set free Monday, June Case Nolle Prossed as the Breaks Go Against the Prosecution The mills of the gods grind slow but sure, and so it is in the case Miss Carrie Johnson, who was convicted on a charge of manslaughter, before Justice Gould last January, in connection with the killing of Detective Sergt. Harry Wilson during the race riot of July 1919 and was released Monday afternoon, when United States Attorney, John E. Laskey, nolle pressed the case before Justice Siddons. The case has been a long drawn one and has been bitterly fought by the attorneys on both sides. Miss Johnson was arrested on the night of July 21, 1919, when the riot was at its height, on the charge of killing Detective Wilson, who entered the Johnson home at 220 G Street, N. W. Her father, Richard Johnson was also arrested at this time. They were confined in jail until the trial in January, 1921, after 18 months of incarceration. At this trial her father was given his freedom and Miss Johnson was released under a five thousand dollar bond. A verdict was brought against Miss Johnson charging her with manslaughter. A motion for a new trial was immediately asked by her attorneys, Gaskins and Watson; on a plea of self defense, which was denied by the late Justice Gould. However, during Justice Gould's illness he called Justice Siddons to his bedside and there told him that he could not die in peace with this girl's case unsettled and that it was clear in his mind that she should have a new trial for there was doubt in his mind as to her being guilty. When her attorneys went before Justice Siddons with the motion for a new trial, Justice Siddons said; "In sustaining the motion for a new trial on the points of law presented by the defendant's counsel, I have reviewed the condition leading up to the riot and deplored the fact such a stain could be put upon the fair name of Washington City. Often it has been said from platform and press that this is a government of laws and not of men, but the time has come when we must either make this true or, stand condemned before the nations of the world. "I can easily understand the state of the defendant's mind, when she, a girl of only seventeen, was going thru this trying experience and in keeping with my conversator with the late Justice Gould, I grant the motion for a new trial."

The case was called last week, and on Monday the case was noelle pressed by the United States Attorney and Justice Siddons pronounced her free. When seen by a representative of the Tribune, Miss Johnson was elated over the opportunity of her freedom which the decision brought her and expressed her gratefulness to the attorneys and Justice Siddons. Attorneys B. L. Gaskins and T. M. Watson were proud of the decision, for it meant the third riot case for them to result in freedom of their defendant. The first, was that of Dr. Theodore Walker, charged with murdering a man on the corner of 15th and New York Avenue. For lack of evidence, this case was ignored by the grand jury and Dr. Walker was set free. The next was that of Richard Johnson, the father of Carrie. His case was noelle pressed in January at the trial before Justice Gould. The National Race Congress agreed to pay the expenses of the case and during the course of the trial, turned over $450 to the Attorneys; $250 for the Bond and $200 for records. Rev. Jernagin is President of the Congress and Prof John R. Hawkins is treasurer. A, local club of young ladies known as "The Pollyannas" stated some time ago as a result of their benefit dance, they had one thousand and five dollars ($1,005) to turn over to Miss Johnson to assist her in the legal fight for her life. As yet, this amount has not been turned over, but it is expected to be at an early date, so as to assist her in cleaning up bills yet unpaid. The photographs contributed by Mr. Daniel Freeman, on U Street, aided materially in helping the attorneys for the defendant, prove their case. His work was done free of charge and the pictures produced by him were the official exhibits in the case. Since her release on bond in January, Miss Johnson has been working at her former employment and is proud of the fact that she is a free girl again. She was only seventeen at the time of her arrest in July, 1919. PRESIDENT HARDING REFUSES TO SAVE TURNER President Harding declined Tuesday to commute the death sentence of William Turner, held in the state penitentiary at Richmond, Va. on conviction of murdering Morgan Moore, ir. near Alexandria, Va. Turner is sentenced to be hanged next Friday. In refusing to exercise clemency, the President is understood to have followed the recommendations of Attorney General Daugherty. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY JUNE 25, 1921 PRINCIPALS IN FAMOUS JOHNSON CASE SOUTHERN AID'S DEDICATORY EXERCISES NEXT WEDNESDAY DR. BALLOU GIVES FEEBLE CITIZENS TO SEEK AUDIENCE NEXT WEEK EXCUSE ATTY. B. L. GASKINS SOUTHERN AID'S EXERCISES Dedicatorial Exercises of the Southern Aid Building at the corner of 7th and T Streets, will be held Wednesday, June 29th, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, with Prof. John R. Hawkins as the principal speaker. The program will begin at 8:00 o'clock. All of the officials of this great institution will appear on the program, interspersed with music by the Wooding Quintet, assisted by a choir. Mr. B. L. Jordan, Secretary of the Southern Aid Society, will be Master of Ceremonies. The Society will hold open house at the building all day Wednesday and to every person passing thru the doors, will be given a useful souvenir. The Southern Aid opened its local office here on the 6th of June, on the third floor of their building, with Mr. J. L. Doss as City Superintendent. They began with seven agents. They have been industrially working the city for their company with results beyond their expectations. The rendering of this program will be an inspiration to every one attending. Information will be given showing the progress, purposes and effi- DR. BALLOU GIVES FEEBLE EXCUSE Along with The Tribune's protest, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. wrote a letter to the Board of Education protesting the order from Miss Cecil B. Norton's office, during Music Week, to the janitors of the Central and Dunbar High Schools; "Not to admit persons of opposite race to the entertainment of June the 4th." This letter was turned over to Superintendent Ballou for investigation and report on the same. Dr. Ballou has made his report to the board. The report in part, says: "The Superintendent's official connection with the events of Music Week was limited to one announcement to officers and teachers in the form of a circular, and one official meeting of high school principals and supervising principals." After reviewing the incidents leading up to the entertainment for Saturday night, the report reads: "Following the serenade of the President on the Ellipse, the Superintendent was invited to a conference with Mrs. Pelham, Mr. Washington, Miss Norton, and Mr. Lawrence. Protests were made by Mrs. Pelham and Mr. Washington against the directions given the janitors of Dunbar and Central High Schools. The Superintendent was requested to cancel those di- Miss CARRIE JOHNSON DEDICATORY NEXT WEDNESDAY Mr. J.

Since the Superintendent of Schools had not been responsible for the arrangements for the two programs he felt that any directions which had been given for the carrying out of the program by the officers connected therewith could not be modified by him without being misunderstood or interpreted as undue interference. It appeared to the Superintendent then and still appears to him that the responsibility for these programs and the arrangements for carrying them out rested with the Executive Committee for Music Week, and that that Committee was responsible for modifying the conditions under which the programs were to be presented, or for concealing the programs, whichever in their judgment seemed better. "The incident is particularly unfortunate because differences have been engendered throughout both divisions of the Community as the result of an enterprise which was intended to advance and promote better feelings among all people of the District." (Signed) FRANK W. BALLOU harity INSON CASE ATTY. THOS. M. WATSON MANY FEATURES MARK CLOSING OF SCHOOLS In awarding 171 diplomas, Dunbar High School of which Prof. Garnet C. Wilkerson is Principal, graduated the largest class in its history, Tuesday night, June 21. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, a member of the school board, presided, and Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, also a member of the school board, delivered the oration. In speaking of prejudice, Mrs. Cook said: "White people suffer from their race prejudice for it blunts their conscience and defiles their religion. How can one say that he loves God, whom he has not seen and hates his brother whom he has seen?" At one point she advised the students to be thinkers. "There is no color in the realm of thought," she declared. She spoke clearly and logically. Her address was well received. At the close of her adress, Mortimer G. Weaver, vice president of the class, presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, in choice words. Dr. F.W. Ballon, superintendent of the city schools, presented the diplomas. In his brief remarks he said that a school's success was dependent upon its graduates and that his department wanted to keep in touch with each of the young men and women that were leaving Dunbar tonight. Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce awarded the prizes. One of the longest and most fervent bursts of applause ever given anyone, greeted Mr. Bruce as he rose to make the awards. He announced his gratification for the record that Dunbar graduates were making—especially the young ladies. The only three Ph.D. degrees conferred upon colored women in this country, were conferred upon graduates of this school. At the close of the exercises, Miss Mary Dorothea Cook, president of the class, surprised Prof. Wilkerson, by presenting him with two small packages, containing a diamond sock pin and a pair of platinum cuff buttons. A notable feature of this class is that 75 per cent have rated their intention of persuading higher courses—72 have expressed a desire to enter Miner Normal; 48 expressed the desire to enter College and 40 are to specialize in various subjects. HONOR* STUDENTS AT DUNBAR First place in class honors went to William Henry Hastie. Second place was won by Mary Dorothea Cook. Scholarship Prizes The following scholarship awards were announced by Mr. Bruce: (Continued on page 5) Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS Fund PROCEEDS OF CHARITY BALL AT COLISEUM IS DEMANDED One of the most sensational occurrences that has happened in the social circles of the Capital City, culminated yesterday when Miss Carrie Minor Johnson, thru her attorneys, Gaskins and Watson, filed a suit for $973.00, with interest, against "The Pollyanna Social Club" with the following persons named as defendants: Ruth Servoy, Annie Burwell, Adele Parks, Ethel McKinney, Mae Hurst, Daisy Glenn, Helen Curtis, Marie Wilson, Sarah Clarke, Jessie Parks, Mamie Lewis, Marion Wormley, Ethel Murray, Mrs. Emory Smith and Mrs. Edward Rattley. The particulars of the demand are set forth as follows: "To net proceeds of Fashion Show held at Coliseum Hall, Washington, D. C., Feb. 25, 1921. By defendants for benefit of plaintiff, $1005.00. Less amount paid or secured to Architect, $28.00, balance due. $973.00." Miss Johnson states in her suit: "The said defenders requested me to allow them to use my name in connection with a certain charity ball to be conducted by them on or about Feb. 25th, 1921, at the Coliseum Hall, and promised that they would turn over to me, for my own use, all moneys realized and collected by them as profits thereof, that I agreed therto; the defendants and each of them in pursuance of said agreement conducted a public function at which they charged admission fees, and which they advertised to the public as being given for my aid and benefit." Miss Johnson claims that she, with her attorney, B. L. Gaskins, met the club in an official meeting on March 23, and was informed that the net proceeds of the ball on February 25th, was $1005.00. That she has asked the Pollyannas for the money to pay off her obligations incurred by her case in court and they have refused so to do. The request was made again on Monday, June 20th without result; therefore, the suit was filed. TO HOLD BIG MASS MEETING ON TULSA TO HOLD BIG MASS MEETING ON TULSA A mass meeting to consider and discuss "The Tulsa Outrage" will be held Monday night, June 27th at the Meropolitan A. M. E. church on M, street between 15th and 16th, N.W. The Program says: "All justice loving people without regard to race, religion or occupation are invited to this meeting to hear the truth about the latest and greatest outrage in the history of this country." Rev. E. W. D. Jones, will preside as the chairman of the meeting and all persons appearing on the program are strong speakers who know what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. The meeting is held under the auspices of the Committee of Seven and promises to be one of the strongest, the most far reaching, sentiment making meetings that have been held in this city for many a day. Tulsa was outraged by not only the lawless element of the white race, but her sworn officers as well. Not only were colored people brutally murdered but their property was plundered, stolen and what could not be carried off was burned to ashes. READ THE TRIBUNE 2 INVESTIGATION REVEALS DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS IN BUREAU OF ENGRAVING --- Second Installment These articles are not mere allegations. They are facts backed up by letters, verbal and documentary evidence. Let Congress grant immunity to the employees and hear first hand the real truth about the unwarranted conditions in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Dont miss them. NEXT WEEK DISMISSALS THE BOSSES There are more petty bosses in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing than in any other government institution. Taken collectively, they form a system as rotten as it is old—the system of oppression. Most of the bosses are woefully ignorant of wilfully unjust, as is attested by the methods they employ. But ignorance and injustice always go hand in hand—that is the only way ignorance can sustain itself. It is a hard task master because it can't be consistent and its inconsistency ultimately proves its own undoing. Thus wicked institutions fall of their own weight. But while they are in power they do an irreparable harm. In so far as the system affected the bosses—it kept them in power. In so far as the bosses affected the employees, they destroyed efficiency thro' favoritism. They encouraged spying. They discouraged industry. They kept down the salary schedule by dismissals, forced resignations and a system of transfers that prevented any one from sustaining a claim of seniority. They changed the personnel of the various divisions by gradually elevating the favored and keeping down the less fortunate. They transferred deserving men and women out of divisions where they were senior and the transfers robbed them of years of faithful service. On the other hand they transferred less deserving employees to exclusive divisions where there was every chance of promotion. Such practices are sanctioned because they are justified by the system. To this policy they brook no interference. Like a troublesome peon—any one who opposes the system must be gotten rid of. Thus by keeping a vague uneasiness in the breast of every employee, they gain in security—knowing as they do that fear, whether from physical or, from economic causes, makes cowards of men. Nearly all of the resignations and most of the dismissals are traceable to one of two causes: "bosses, too numerous and arbitrary," and "salary, too low." The most efficient workers only use the positions as stepping stones while the incompetent hang on and drift into debt. Thus the morale of the institution is at its lowest ebb. There is no future for those who remain. They are irrevocably chained to the daily grind of unremitting toil, ever in constant fear of the probable spell of sickness and the spectre of old age. Collectively the bosses form the system but let us examine them individually. Every person vested with the least bit of authority is technically your boss. A mere foreman of laborers is sustained when he promulgates an order prohibiting the use of certain dressing rooms to a particular set of employees, while at the same time, placing no restrictions upon another. The peculiar part is that the order affects men over whom he has not the least jurisdiction. The captain of the watch is a man so Irish in his brogue that one is incapable of understanding him. His speech alone bars him from any claim to the higher Americanism and yet, he—the head of an important branch of this large department—is inapproachable and insulting. Whether visitor or employee, no one gets a.civil answer but his superiors; and he cringes so before them that they hardly believe one half the things said of him. He never loses an opportunity to humiliate or degrade any one to show his authority. Petty officers—self styled detectives—search the lockers of employees during the absence of the workers and there is no one present at the time to represent the employees and see that there is no frame up. Director Wilmeth is not a boss in the strict sense of the word because he lacks the executive ability. He secured his position because he was "ill" is a Democrat. But had he could have to overdapcap. He is at system he helped min. Not being a letter, he has to dejm. McKinney for printing; not being r, he has to rely A. Beall for his ning; not being a he has to defer to mechanical ideas: clear of all entangling alliances until they have cleared the place of all irresponsible bosses. That is the employees only salvation. At present, there is no board of personnel—nothing or no one to safeguard the rights of employees. The plate printers are accorded some show of recognition because of the Plate Printers' Union. Without this their lot would be the common fate of all. justly with men. Mr. George Carte Public Printer, has teen changes in his by consolidations, nations, intends to He, too, knows the in time worn, boss Because he has marked efficiency in we have discontinuities in the printi It matters not how just your grievance, and appeal gets you nothing but the ill will of the boss whose decision you appealed. There after the employee is subjected to petty nagging, if not actual discourtesy. In other words he is slated to go. That he does not go is no fault of the boss, for he becomes the victim of a rigid spy system and secret reports—often falsified. Secret service men .employed to protect the various notes and currency printings are so busy tabulating data on how long it took an employee to go and return from a dressing room or drink a cup of coffee after 8 a.m., that thieves find ample time to ply their trade with more confidence and security. The bosses found them (the detectives) willing tools and they use them to persecute those in ill favor. In this manner nearly all the potential good of the institution is turned into stagnant pools of personal greed or emolument, rather than into the channels of public prosperity. To this mismanagement is due the wholesale clamor for reclassification. Who is to blame—the bosses? They have built up a one sided salary schedule for the benefit of the favored. They have abused their powers and privileges to benefit the few. They have done an irreparable harm to the majority. At this moment Congress is seeking to right these wrongs. But unless Congress wants to nullify its action and intent, it will do well to create a supervisory board or leave it to the Civil Service Commission to administer affairs during the reconstruction. Surely it will not entrust the welfare of those it entends to help in the hands of the very one who heretofore have cheated them out of their just due. Congress is composed of thinking men. Let them think now. It is significant to note in this connection that Post-master General, Will Hayes, is personally reorganizing his department. He knows he cannot trust the old line bosses to deal The Tri BIG ESSA $20 in Gold 2nd Prize: One Mon owned by our "Why Theatre Operated Should B - Contest Close Tribune's B SSAY CO Gold to the One Month's Pass to our People in W Subject : meaters Own ated by our ld Be Supp Closes Midnight, The Tribune's First BIG ESSAY CONTEST $20 in Gold to the Winner 2nd Prize: One Month's Pass to all Theaters owned by our People in Washington Any an dall persons living or residing in the District of Columbia, except those connected with the Tribune's staff.

Holmes, Dean of School of Education, Howard University. --- the ability, he would have to overcome a serious handicap. He is at the mercy of the system he helped to create and sustain. Not being a practical plate printer, he has to depend chiefly on Wm. McKinney for his knowledge of printing; not being an expert examiner, he has to rely upon chief Miss A. Beall for his opinions on examining; not being a master machinist, he has to defer to chief Chappell for mechanical ideas; and not being expert in any of the trades—nor knowing conditions anywhere—he is at the mercy of the bosses. There's the rub. Most of his depences are superannuates, of the old school—of fixed ideas and opinions—pschycologically unfit to meet the ever changing conditions that arise. There trouble with the employees begins and ends in discontent. But so long as discontent is unorganized they are able to combat it by posting spies all over the building—by arbitrary action, and summary dismissals. Few, indeed, are the employees who have not a just grievance. The director cannot disclaim responsibility. He makes his office inaccessible, except to the few while the rights of the majority are trampled in the dust. There is no appeal from the prejudiced opinions of the bosses except to the assistant director, a Mr. Fisher, and a man of the old school of oppressors, who believes that sixty dollars a month is enough for any employee—except his personal friends and the like. His mind has scarcely moved from where it was twenty years ago and he thinks the minds of others have been as inactive. On strict merit there would be other men ahead of him but he is a beneficiary of the system. Still, there are a number of good foremen and foreladies who would like to see the just thing done but their hands are tied. They are part of the system. They accepted their positions for service with the bosses and with the bosses they must serve the system. If a union man is made a foreman, he is supposed to turn in his union card and sever the conencting link with everything but the system. Occasionally there is a change in the various division chiefs but it does not profit employees—nothing does. To this end there is but one solution—the Secretary must appoint a director and assistant director who have the executive ability and the independence to assume immediate control and stay WHO ARE ELIGIBLE THE JUDGES e's First CONTEST the Winner Pass to all Theaters e in Washington t: Owned and our People supported" night, July 2nd LENGTH OF ESSAY The essay must be limited to 500 words or less.

INCREASE OF COLORED FARMERS $1,365,565, 780 In a release on June the 15th, from the agricultural department of the bu- reau of census, the colored farmers of the 16 southern states are shown to haye increased their valuation on land and buildings in the ten-year period from 1910 to 1920, by $1,365,569,780.00 ‘This report covers the entire num- ber of farms owned, managed and rented by colored farmers. The total number is given as 920,976. Farms operated by colored tenants number 702,215, leaving 218,761 as owned. In an interview with Mr. Chas. E. Hall, who has charge of the section from which this release emanated, he said that he found the value of owned farms, by colored people, to be about one-fourth of the total. Using these figures then, we have the increased valuation of actual property owned in the 16 southern states, about $559,- 765,697.50 or nearly 200 per cent in the ten-year period. _ From 1900 to 1910 there was an increase in number of farms of 31,669. During 1910 to 1920 there was an in- crease of only 6/484 farms owned. ‘This was caused by and is one of the lessons of, the great migration from the south during the war period for seven of the 16 states actually lost 0,222 farms operated by colore¢ farmers. Alabama was the heaviest loser with 15,187 less than in 1910. Mississippi was second and Florida third, The total number owned and rented, increased 40,152. The total acreage increased by 62,567 acres; the improved land ‘increased by 535,963 acres. While Georgia ranks first in acre- age, Mississippi ranks first in number of farms and in valuation, and Vir- gina takes first place in number owned by colored farmers.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY JUNE 25, 1921 DOWN ON THE FARM _ “IT love the Cows and Chickens,” ‘some years ago, the title of a popu- Jar song, but nowadays, it’s a song that S. H. Dudley one of Americas’ foremost race comedians can be heard singing any day as he rambles about on his fifteen acre farm down in Oxen Hill, Maryland, a distance of about ten miles from the bright lights of Wash- ington, It is-there, after encountering the many complex problems that are in- volved in the operation of his ‘several businesses, that he relaxes and enjoys the sweet companionship of his moth- er, who is mistress of the estate. It was the distinguished honor of the writer to have been the guest of Mr. Dudley one day this week and 3 only regret that I cannot relate or picture to you how extremely adequate are the accommodations of this mod- ern farm. In the center of a-fifteen acre tract of fertile Maryland Soil, stands a handsomely furnished house of twelve ‘rooms, that is equipped with electric | lights, furnished from a private plant and many other modern conveniences. The stables house several head of horses, including two racing mares. There are also modem dairy, poltry ond truck farms, the produce of which a niea 18 offered in local markets. ___ Ibis indeed a wonderfu! demonstra- ‘tion of what can be accomplished by ‘perseverance and should serve as an inspiration to the performer of today, many of whom are frittering away valuable time and money in being “good fellows.” NOTED INVESTIGATOR TO JOIN URBAN LEAGUE New York City—Charles S.

In htis production Mr, Ray departs from his usual rube role, appearing in up-to-the-minute ‘mail order house garb as a dapper nineteen-year-old city youth, whose two obsessions in life are Phyllis Laurin and a desire to be regarded as a Southern gentle- man, When his rival appears at a party attired in the only dress suit worn in the community, he at once gets busy and plans a new style campaign to win the favor of the fair Phyllis, but a burglar nearly spoils it all.

BOTH MARRIED AND UNMAR- RIED WILL LAUGE _ A departure from Mack Sennett ‘comedy tradition is promised in the Comedy King’s latest five-reel super- production, ‘Love, Honor and Behave, ‘the First National attraction at the ‘Dunbar Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. Charlie Murray, hero of a million episodes, will be introduced in a role ‘of legitimate appeal. He will imper- ‘sonate a “grave and reverend” Judge ‘of the Supreme Court, playing the part with dignity and power. ‘This re- volutionary role will be revealed in the ‘opening scenes of the story when Jus- tice and Romance will come in con- tact. Marie Prevost, a bride, and George O’Hara, her young husband, appear before “Judge” Murphy, carrying to the halls of justice the fragrance of a ‘romance about to die. Here, it is pointed out, is a sincere and authentic picture of dramatic material, treated in a sympathetic and dignified manner with ever so slight a wink of the eye on the part of the learned jurist. Not long, however, does the plot remain in the atmosphere of said drama, for the jurist, in order to convince the jealous bride of the innocence of her bridgegroom, tells a story of his own experience when he too was a bride- groom; the said story's purport being to discredit circumstantial evidence. It is this story that forms the bulk of the episodes depicted in “Love, Hon- or and Behave.” TRUTH ABOUT HUSBANDS | Next week’s feature attraction at the Dunbar Theatre is “The Truth About Husbands,” adapted from Sir Arthur Wing Pinero’s brilliant stage play, “The Profligate.” It is a Whit- man Bennett ‘production released thru First National and has an exception- ally well balanced cast headed by May McAvoy. It deals in a startlingly interesting ‘way with the age-old problem of how a man before marriagé cannot have his fling without the danger of his esca- pades confronting him after marriage. ‘The denouement of the play is per- haps as thrilling a climax as ever screened in a society drama. H. E. Herbert plays Dunstan Renshaw, a wealthy bachelor who is supposedly typical of his class, He is not vicious, merely worldly. . tGininsnin Under an assumed name he meets Janet Preece, played by Anna Lehr, who is a librarian living in a suburb, and makes love to her. Later he mar- ries Leslie Brownell, portrayed by May McAvoy, a young society girl, and takes her abroad. But it so happens that Leslie’ brother, Wilfred Brownell, enacted by Arthur Rankin, is acquainted with Janet Preece, the librarian, but is not cognizant of the fact that Dunstan, his sister’s husband, has ever met her. Janet is engaged as secretary to Mrs. Stonehay, played by Elizabeth Garrison, whose daughter Irene is a friend of Leslie's. Janet is taken abroad with the Stonebays. Irene Stonehay, a role euacted by Lorraine Frost, is engaged to Lord Dexter Randolph—Ivo Dawson, the latter an ‘old acquaintance of Dunstan's. While Dunstan and Lord Randolph are away from home they visit a no- torious cafe in Rome, but Dunstan is deterred from participating in the mic night revels by thoughts of his bride. Leslie, to whom he remains loyal. Never before has such a fascinating scene as the dance of the butterfly girl on the dinner table been depicted ‘on the screen, MADONNAS AND MEN Svncosic of Stary. The Emperor of Rome is seated in his box in the Roman Amphitheatre, ‘Before him his gladiators have just engaged in bloody cbmbat for his amusement, his favorite just danced ‘to please him and now for the crown- ‘ing event of the holiday, the Chris- tian girls are to be thrown to the lions. Then the old Soothsayer seeks ‘the car of the Prince, begs him to ‘Postpone the awful sacrifice, the ‘Prince stops the proceedings and lis- tens to the story. A girl has jilted a ‘young man, not for any sinister pur- pose but because she had found an- other she truly loved. Deep into the jilted one’s heart went the seeds of re- venge, he worked to make money to carry out a plot of revenge that was forming in his mind and later, a father and a millionaire, he began to carry it out. ‘The woman who had jilted the man who was now a millionaire, lived peacefully with her husband and young daughter on a lonely farm. ‘And then one day, like a bolt from the blue, came the blow. The daughter was stolen, The mother was distract- ed and soon died of a broken heart. No clue was left of the daughter's disappearance except a letter bearing a New York post-mark. Almost pen- niless the father could not search properly for his lost child and then, in digging a grave for his beloved wife, he discovered oil that made him wealthy. ‘This wealth he pledged to the search for the girl. He went to the big city, groomed himself like a gentleman and everywhere he searched. Perhaps she might be among the girls of the ca- barets he thought and so went there and met a famous dancer. This en- tertainer at the midnight shows lis- tened to him and his offers of money and eventually led him to the home of the millionaire. Here was the beautiful young coun- try girl. She was to be forced into a marriage with the revengeful mil- lionaire despite the fact that his son loved the girl and defied his father in trying to prevent the marriage. ‘As the two are about to be united in marriage the girl’s father breaks into the house. After a short terrific fight the wedding is prevented. Mil- lionaire and father lose their lives, ‘but the girl, the one who was to be ‘saerificed, is saved and goes to the arms of the man she loves and who loves her. ‘The Soothsayer’s story is finished. ‘It has so impressed the Prince that he defies all Rome and compels them to stop their unwonted lust for bar- baric entertainment for the Emperor has died and the young Prince is the leader of the people. Sunday—Monday—Tuesday. “SHUFFLE ALONG” GOING STRONG The “Shuffle Along” show, as was predicted, is still making New York sit up and take notice. Herewith fol- lows a comment on the show by the dramatic editor of “Life.” “All the harmory that has been mis- sing from our musical stage for s0 long has beon given a home at the Sixty-third St. Theatre, where a com- pany of Negro singers and dancers are presenting “Siuffle Along.” “Every line that is sung except those in which the company unfortu- nately take Broadway as a model, re- solves itself into a rich combination of heart-rending notes which bring you back to the days when songs were written for singing and not for danc- ing. “There are a great many dancing songs in ‘Shuffle Along,’ too, and much enthusiastic dancing. Never was a company so enthusiastic. It seems as if each member had just paid money for the pleasure of taking part in the performance. On this basis, about four million dollars’ worth of pleasure is extracted from the show by the cast,—and consequently by the audience. But there still remains the old mystery of Negro quartette sing- ing: why is it that they never sing enough? why must they ever stop?” Coleman's Airdome, better known as the “Iceland” opened this week with John Be:ringer’s Dixie Girls, twelve people, and a jazz band. At the open- ing performance 700 persons attended. ‘After having been closed for five years, Mr. Coleman has decided to give the people of Southwest Washington the best possible attractions in vaude- villi, and considers himself fortunate in recuring the services of the Berrin- ger show.

Brown, a member of the Junior Class of Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusettes, has been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society, being one of the few members of his class to receive this honor in the junior year of the college course, and the only colored member. ‘The election of Mr. Brown to member- ship in the society marks him as an exceptional student since few colored students have succeeded in attaining such a distinetion in the junior year of their college course. Mr. Brown is the son of Rev. Sterling N. Brown, a professor of Howard University, and a graduate of Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C. 3 ) LARGE CLASS PROMOTED FROM GRADED SCHOOLS Four hundred and seventy-eight pu- pils of the eighth grade of the Dis- trict schools were awared certificates at the closing exercises Wednesday, indicating that they have completed the elementary course and are entitled to continue their studies in the high schools of the District.

Buckner, Executive Sec- retary of the St. Louis Urban League, who immediately after the East St. Louis riot and for two years there- after worked as Executive Secretary for the East St. Louis Urban League, ‘was dispatched immediately after the ‘Tulsa incident to the scene of the riot. He has reported in part as follows: “The whole colored area has been wiped out with only a few homes here and there remaining—these owned mostly by white people. Several thousand have left, and the M.K, & T. Railroad is offering half fare to all who wish to leave. ‘Tho situation here is black beyond description, I am staying on a cot in the basement of the Tulsa Hotel. I will stay here until the situation has been worked out. In the meantime, I will be working along heading to an organization. The city is still guarded and I had to show my telegrams in order to get a permit to remain here.” It is Mr. Buckner’s purpose to in- augurate a social welfare program in ‘Tulsa which will tend to remove the causes of friction, enlarge the Negro’s industrial opportunity and secure for him a square deal in all phases of com- munity life.

Leroy Gresham is a mirth-provoker of the first order and he kept the audience in a continuous uproar of laughter with Ben Turpin eyes. Miss Martin is the possessor of an excellent vojee, which she uses very effectively. Her "Sweet Daddy" number was a winner and with the capable assistance of Mr. Gresham, this number was a distinctive success. Next Week, Trixie Smith, who has been making records for a well known concern, Essie Whitman and Baby Alice are the attractions scheduled and a record attendance is expected. his home team with a silver loving cup. Upon being approached by several church delegations who expressed their objection to the opening of Sunday games, Mayor Waters cleared the situation by stating that it was the votes of the people that brought about the Sunday games, and if teams are brought in that play with such order as the Washington colored team, he would never revoke the order permitting Sunday ball.

The tournament waxed warm in the last days. Killingsworth ran a close second to Ross for the last eight days. Killingsworth ran a close second to end to Ross for eight days. Saturday in his anxiety to overcome the one point lead held by Ross, he went to the home of one Mr. Dodson and pulled him out to the "Y" to play his series. He was successful in scoring eight points on this young man, but much to his dismay Ross appeared on the scene and challenged Dodson for $e$ series and was successful in scoring eight points which gave Ross the one point lead over Killingsworth, which he had held for the last week.

Moton was the principal attraction of the program of Armstrong High School's graduation exercises, which were held at the Dunbar Auditorium, Wednesday night. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, a member of the School Board. Prof. Roecoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of city schools, presented the scholarships and Major R. R.

Mr. Leo Wilson won the highest honors of Armstrong this year and was awarded the James E. Walker Medal for his efforts. Dr. Moton said in part: "Negroes residing in Washington, have unusual opportunity to demonstrate that members of the race have the capacity for intelligent and useful citizenship. "Let me urge you in this connection," Dr. Moton said, "to make it a rigid policy to talk to white people rather than talk about them. Booker Washington used, to say that few men objected to being talked to, but there were fewer still who did not object to being talked about. I some- Dr. Moton said in part: times think that we have spent too much time talking about the white people and they, in turn, have talked too much about us. The time has now come when we can and should talk to each other about the things which cause misunderstanding and friction." ROBERT GOULD SHAW The Robert Gould Shaw Junior High School, formerly "M Street," held its gradating exercises Wednesday at noon, at the school building. Eighteen students were promoted to Senior High School. Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, one of the members of the School Board of the District, presided.

The certificates were awarded by Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of the city schools.

MINER NORMAL An overflow audience greeted the graduates of the Miner Normal Thursday evening, when sixty-four young women received their diplomas, amid the applause of grateful parents and well wishing friends. Dr. H. Barrett Learned, vice-president of the Board of Education was the presiding officer. The Principal Address was made by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, member of the school Board. After discussing the rise of the race and the progress that it has made, Dr. Johnson said: "We must do as others have done before us. We must serve in the hard school of discipline. Nor have we any reason for despondency. There must be that in our character which has never yet been found unequal to any purpose." In closing he said: "Let us hope that you will realize that full measure of the responsibility which rests on you and that you will think not of your gain alone, but of the service which you will be able to render in and out of the class room, not only for the upbuilding of those children mentally, morally and physically but also in laying a splendid foundation for the development of a great race." Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce made cogent-remarks to the graduates, advising them to let service be their motto and success would attend their efforts. "Devotion to ideals, in emulation of Charlemagne, who, though himself a barbarian, civilized his people," was also recommended to the class by the speaker. Mrs. Coralie F.

SPEECH AND THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK Ra Ue ee OT ec, eee students of Lincoln University strikes the press of the country as not having gone far enough, when he said: “One of the great difficulties with popular governments is that the citi- zenship expects at the hands of the government that which it should do for itself, No government can wave a magic wand and take a race from bondage to citizenship in half a cen- tury. All that the government can do is to afford the opportunity. The colored race, to come into its own, must do the great work itself in pre- paring for that participation.” The Negro World, New York “President Wm. McKinley told a delegation of colored men that the race problem would be solved in the hearts and consicences of the Ameri- can people. President Theadore Roose- velt said, when the Crum case came up, that he would not shut the door of hope in any man’s face because of his color. President Wm. Taft in his inaugural address said that he would not appoint colored men to office where southern whites objected. President Woodrow Wilson intimated to editor Wm, Monroe Trotter and his delegation that race prejudice was a fact like the law of gravitation. “Consequently President Harding’s address at Lincoln University was re- garded as significant, as it revealed his attitude toward the colored citi- zenship of America, There was no evasion or straddling in the address. It was a clear cut statement of fun- damentla truths. | “One of the grievances of the Negro against the United States of America is that his opportunities are restricted on the account of his color. In the Wilson administration a Negro might be loaded down with the Ph. D., LL. D., and D. C. L. degree, but he could not hold any governmental or diplo- matic position that carried with it a| lucrative salary and dignity. In the| civil service colored men and women passed examinations and were notified of their appointments. But when they | showed up they were turned down be-| cause of color. “That is to say, the confusion of political and civil equality with social | equality, the confusing of equality be-| fore the law and economic equaliyt| with social acceptability has made the | Negro’s color a bar to his advancement | in the industrial, business and politi-| cal world.” The Norfolk Journal and Guide “What we all expect is that the gov- ernment shall exercise its authority and power to correct the evils of mob law, disfranchisement, unequal distri- bution of tax funds and unjust dis- crimination in travel. We do not ex- pect to be advised by the President to front the mob, and officers of the law affiliating with the mob, to defend our lives and property from mob violence. That is the business first of the State, and, failing in the State, of the Federal Government. ‘That is what we have Federal Governments for. The President in effect, advises Afro-Americans to meet mob law with mob law. That is awful. “If Congress has no such power, why did the President advise in his inaugural address that Congress might legislate against mob law and author- ize the appointment of a Commission to investigate the whole question of race relation?” ‘The Philadelphia American “This advice from our President was alright, but it did not go far enough. It is all very well to edu cate and train the Negro in the moral and Christian ethics of today. It makes him law abiding, long suffer- ing, patient and enduring under many trying circumstances; but this advice should go farther. It would be more effective for the white hoodlum, mur- derer, incendary and criminal to be taught Christianity, purity, morality and nicety. The best elementary les. son, however to be taught to these members of the superior race, who not only violate the statutes of the State, God and humanity, but who violate every principle of civilization would be.leaden bullets from the muz. ale of a high-powered rifle, when thes are on their rampage of distruction Rh ce | WE iN Bee POLITICAL OUTLOOK ‘The reduction of the southern repre sentatives to the National Republican Conventions strikes all of the editors as being unjust, un-American, and further, imposing disfranchisement. Before the National Committee, Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson made an im- passioned plea against the plan to reduce the Southern delegation to 144. He said: “The Republican -Party THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY JUNE 25, 1921 should help us who have helped it in the past, but apparently you have not the stamina to meet the real issue and compel Congress to give us rights. You can’t camouflage this thing which you propose in the teeth of the declar- ations made by President Harding. ‘Why evade the issue which involves a ‘great constitutional questions and re- sort to the unjust proposal which you have before you? Do you think that ‘Theadore Roosevelt would have stood for it? Oh, for the touch of a van- quished hand and the sound of a voice that it still.” ‘The Atlanta Independent: “The Independent does not hesitate to state that any man or set of mer who believe or advocate the elimina- tion of one group of American citi. zens for the benefit of another on ae- count of race or color, is no republican —not any more than a bourbon demo- erat, The truth of the matey, he be- longs to the democratic party. And any national leader, whether he be chairman or president, who would flirt with a character of that kind, who believes in the disfranchisement and elimination of the Negro from the party council, his republicanism is questionable. And when the leaders of the party so far forget themselves as to adopt such suicidal policy, the party is doomed; for every time the party has received great reverses, it has been due to the fact that it for- got its fundamental doctrine of equal and exact justice to all irrespective of race.” Ths Amsterdam News. “The suffrage in the Southern States is not going to be settled by subterfuge and compromise, any more than the question of slavery was; it can only be settled by so controlling the primary election laws so that all persons entitled to vote shall be able to do so with no guns or other in- struments of intimidation at their heads to prevent them from doing so. That is the reduction of the whole question which the Republican party is called upon to face, and which it does not want to face.” LETTERS TO EDITOR Riots among White and Colored Americans in Ameriea—Who's to Blame? ..How to Eliminate Rioting between said Races perpetually. | Wash. D. C., June 18, 1921. To the Editor: From more than a score of news- papers I have read causes and opinions of the Tulsa, Oklahoma riot. I have carefully read what the Literary Di- gest has had to say under, “Mob Fury. and Race Hatred as a National Dan- ger,” and the Digest’s many quotations from numerous papers both white and colored. It is but natural to conceive that a Colored paper would endeavor to place the burden—the origin of this trouble—upon the white race, and it seems the same as to the white papers, though natural it imay seem, we are confronted with diversions for many of the white papers are outspoken in placing the fault of this riot-breach and disgraceful affray upon their kins- men in Tulsa, Okla. Most notable in the Digest topic were found quotatiosn from Texas papers. An insane person could tell the hipocricy and lying utterances “made by these papers—their base "proclamation and accusation, that the Negroes were not in their right senses |—inflamed by violent propaganda - against whites by Negro radicals of the North, East and West—coneluding with direct cause being attributed to this propaganda from Negroes having ‘been North, to France and with some ‘education, endeavor to bestir hatred in the hearts of the southern Negro. | This kind of gospel from Southern papers has been preached since the | very dawn of Freedom.

Why-doesn’t Con- gress pass the Spencer and Madden and Dyer Bills? Why pigeon-hole these Bills, if America really and truly desires to rid herself of this great evil? Why doesn’t President Harding urge the passage of these Bills? He says he believes and intends to see to it that all American citizens fare and share alike-as guaranteed by the Con- stitution of the government of the United States. Is the Congress of the United States sincere and just? Does President Harding mean what he has said with regards to Colored Ameri- cans or was he simply jesting and talking? To pass these Bills beats all talking. Urging the passage, proves sincerity. ~ W. THOMAS SODERS EDITOR R. L. VANN DISCUSSES RACE COMMISSION IN THE COMPETITOR | “The creation of a commission b; | Congress, with proper power and au- thority to function freely and inde- pendently, is easily the biggest and best beginning the country has ever _made toward race adjustment,” writes ‘Robert L. Vann in the June number of The Competitor. Continuing he says: “If the commission can successfully ay the foundation for the creation of a healthful atmosphere for the culti- ‘vation of a public sentiment it will have worked the desired consumma- tion.” Mr. Vann feels that “the delicate features to be encountered must be approached with sanity, courage and sincerity,” and he states that “the commission will have ample occasion to operate in northern as well as southern states.” ‘The editor of The Competitor gives us one of the best discussions of the proposed Inter-Racial Commission that has appeared thus far.” He closes his able commenary with this keen analysis: “Human improvement all over the country is the paramount task be- fore the American people. Our per- sonal opinions of ourselves carry lit- tle weight, after all, in the final anal- ysis. "We are what we are when we are. Thé Jew is as good as the Gen- ‘tile when he is; the Gentile is no bet- ‘ter than the Jew when he is not; the colored ‘American is as good as the white when he is; the southerner is | as good as the northerner when he is. |‘These opinions cannot be disturbed by ‘any commission. If the South will di- vorce herself from the social equality bugbear, and accept Negro improve- ‘ment as meaning Southern improve- ‘ment, rather than a corressponding southern impediment, the Commis- sion can take effective root in the South and prove itself a moulder of effective sentiment throughout the country.” CHARLES GILPIN WINS - SPINGARN MEDAL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today an- nounced that the Spingarn Medal had been awarded to Charles Gilpin, the actor who created the role of Custis in John Drinkwater’s play, “Abraham Lincoln,” and the title role in Eugene O’Neill’s play, “The Emperor Jones.” The Spingarn Medal is awarded an- nually “to the man or woman of Afri- can descent and of American citizen- ship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. The donor of the medal is J. E. Spingarm, treasurer of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People. Mr. Giilpin, whose acheivement as an actor was acclaimed publicly when he was chosen by the directors of the Drama League of New York, as one of ten guests of honor to be invited to a dinner in the Hotel McAlpin, was ranked among the. following stage people: Lionel Atwill, Gilda Varesi, Dudley Gigges, Lee Simonson, Mar- garet Severn, Ben Ami, David Belasco and Fred Stone. Gilpin and the other guests were selected by vote of the Drama League as those who had made the most distinguished contribution to the American’stage in 1920. He is the seventh recipient of the Spingarm Medal, his predecessors re- presenting many fields of activity. The first to receive the medal was E. E. Just, to-whom it was awarded in 1915 for researches in biology. ‘The second Spingarn medallist was Colonel Charles Young, to whom it was award- ed for his services in organizing the constabulary of Liberia, The third was Harry T.

CHAPTER L—Warned by his physician that he has not more than six months to live, Falling falls dispondently 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 all things of the wild help him CHAPTER II.—In a large southern Oregon city he meets people who had known and loved his grandfather, a famous frontman. He makes his home with Silas Lennox, a typical westerner. The only other members of the household are Lennox's son, "Bill," and daughter, "Snowy." He has been involved from "utilization," in the Umpqua divide, and there Falling plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told is his.

Lennox declares he is a reincarnation of his grandfather, Dan Falling I, whose fame as a woodsman is a household word. BOOK TWO—THE DEBT. CHAPTER L—Dan, now thoroughly proficient in woods lore, learns from Lennox that an organized band of outlaws, of which Bert Cranston is the leader, is making trouble in the vicinity. Landry Hildreth, a former member of the gang, has been induced to turn state's evidence. On his way to the city Hildreth is waylaid by Cranston, shot, and left for dead. Cranston, however, overlooked the fact that Hildreth might have documentary evidence on his person, and is satisfied that his enemy will never reach the city to tell what he knows of the operations of the gang. dreth would have preferred to wait in the hills and possibly to write another letter, but a chill that kept growing at his finger tips forbade it. And all these things combined to stretch his nerves almost to the breaking point as he stole along the moonlit trail under the pines. A moment before the rush and whir of the grouse flock had dried the roof of his mouth with terror. The tall trees appalled him, the shadows fell upon his spirit. And when he heard this final sound, when he saw the glint that might so easily have been a gun-barrel, his nerves and muscles reacted at once. Not even a fraction of a second intervened. His gun flashed up and a little, angry cylinder of flame darted, as a snake's head darts, from the muzzle. Hildreth didn't take alm. There wasn't time. The report roared in the darkness; the bullet sang harmlessly and thudded into the earth; and both of them were the last things in the world that Granston had expected. And they were not a moment too soon. Even at that instant, his finger was closing down upon the trigger, Hildreth standing clear and revealed through the sights. The nervous response that few men in the world would be self-disciplined enough to prevent occurred at the same instant that he pressed the trigger. His own fire answered, so near to the other that both of them sounded as one report. Most hunters can usually tell, even if they cannot see their game fall, whether they have hit or missed. This was one of the few times in his life that Cranston could not have told. He knew that as his finger pressed he had held as accurate a "bread" as at any time in his life. He did not know still another circumstance—that in the moonlight he had overestimated the distance to the clearing, and instead of one hundred yards it was scarcely fifty. He had held rather high. And he looked up, unknowing whether he had succeeded or whether he was face to face with the prospect of a duel to the death in the darkness. And all he saw was Hildreth, rocking back and forth in the moonlight—a strange picture that he was never entirely to forget. It was a motion that no man could pretend. And he knew he had not missed. He waited till he saw the form of his enemy rock down, face half-buried in the pine needles. It never even occurred to him to approach to see if he had made a clean kill. He had held on the breast and he had a world of confidence in his great, shocking, big-game rifle. Besides, the rifle fire might attract some hunter in the hills; and there would be time in the morning to return to the body and make certain little investigations that he had in mind. And running back down the trail, he missed the sight of Hildreth dragging his wounded body, like an injured hare, into the shelter of the thickets. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY JUNE 25, 1921 G. came out of his brush-covert when the moon rose. It was not his usual rising time. Ordinarily he found his best hunting in the eerie light of the twilight hour; but for certain reasons, his knowledge of which would be extremely difficult to explain, he let this time go by in slumber. Whisperfoot had slept almost since dawn. It is a significant quality in the felines that they simply cannot keep in condition without hours and hours of sleep. In this matter of sleeping, they are in a direct contrast to the wolves, who seemingly never sleep at all, unless it is with one eye open, and in still greater contrast to the king of all beasts, the elephant, who is said to slumber less per night than that great electrical wizard whom all men know and praise. The great cat came out yawning, as graceful a thing as treads upon the earth. He was almost nine feet long from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, and he weighed as much as many a full-grown man. He stood and yawned insolently, for all the forest world to see. He rather hoped that the chipmunk, staring with beady eyes from his doorway, did see him. He would just as soon that Woof's little son, the bear cub, should see him too. But he wasn't so particular about Woof himself, or the wolf pack whose song had just wakened him. And above all things, he wanted to keep out of the sight of men. For when all thugs are said and done, there were few bigger cowards in the whole wilderness world than Whisperfoot. A good many people think that Graycoat the coyote could take lessons from him in this respect. But others, knowing how a hunter is brought in occasionally with almost all human resemblance gone from him because a cougar charged in his death agony, think this is unfair to the larger animal. And it is true that a full-grown cougar will sometimes attack horned cattle, something that no American animal cares to do unless he wants a good fight on his paws and of which the very thought would throw Graycoat into a spasm; and there have been even stranger stories, if one could quite believe them. A certain measure of respect must be extended to any animal that will hunt the great bull elk, for to miss the stroke and get caught beneath the churning, lashing, slashing, razor-edged front hoofs is simply painful, painful and without delay. But the difficulty lies in the fact that these things are not done in the ordinary, rational blood of hunting. What an animal does in its death agony, or to protect its young, what great game it follows in the starving times of winter, can be put to neither its debit nor its credit. A coyote will charge when mad. A raccoon will put up a wicked fight when cornered. A hen will peck at the hand that robs her nest. When hunting was fairly good, Whisperfoot avoided the elk and steer almost as punctiously as he avoided men, which is saying very much indeed; and any kind of terrier could usually drive him straight up a tree. But he did like to pretend to be very great and terrible among the smaller forest creatures. And he was Fear itself to the deer. A human hunter who would kill two deer a week for fifty-two weeks would be called a much uglier name than poacher; but yet this had been Whisperfoot's record, on and off, ever since his second year. Many a great buck wore the scar of the full stroke—after which Whisperfoot had lost his hold. Many a fawn had crouched panting with terror in the thickets at just a tawny light on the gnarled limb of a pine. Many a doe would grow great-eyed and terrified at just his strange, pungent smell on the wind. He yawned again, and his fangs looked white and abnormally large in the moonlight. His great, green eyes were still clouded and languorous from sleep. Then he began to steal up the ridge toward his hunting grounds. It was a curious thing that he walked straight in the face of the soft wind that came down from the snow fields, and yet there wasn't a weathercock to be seen anywhere. And neither had the chipmunk seen him wet a paw and hold it up, after the approved fashion of holding up a finger. He had a better way of knowing—a chill at the end of his whiskers. The little, breathless night sounds in the brush around him seemed to madden him. They made a song to him, a strange, wild melody that even nox could not experience. A thousand smells brushed down to him on the wind, more potent than any wine or lust. He began to tremble all over with rapture and excitement. But unlike Cranston's trembling, no wilderness ear was keen enough to hear the leaves rustling beneath him. CHAPTER II. Shortly after nine o'clock, Whisper-foot encountered his first herd of deer. But they caught his scent and scattered before he could get up to them. He met Woof, grunting through the underbrush, and he punctillously, but with wretched spirit, left the trail. A fight with Woof the bear was one of the most unpleasant experiences that could be imagined. He had a pair of strong arms of which one embrace of a cougar's body meant death in one long shriek of pain. Of course they didn't fight often. They had entirely opposite interests. The bear was a berry-eater and a honey-grubber, and the cougar cared too much for his own life and beauty to tackle Woof in a hunting way. A fawn leaped from the thicket in front of him, startled by his sound in the thicket. The truth was, Whisperfoot had made a wholly unjustified misstep on a dry twig, just at the crucial moment. Perhaps it was the fault of Woof, whose presence had driven Whisperfoot from the trail, and perhaps because old age and stiffness was coming upon him. But neither of these facts appeased his anger. He could scarcely suppress a snarl of fury and disappointment. He continued along the ridge, still stealing, still alert, but his anger increasing with every moment. The fact that he had to leave the trail again to permit still another animal to pass, and a particularly insignificant one too, didn't make him feel any better. This animal had a number of curious stripes along his back, and usually did nothing more desperate than steal eggs and eat bird fledglings. Whisper-foot could have crushed him with one bite, but this was one thing that the great cat, as long as he lived, would never try to do. He got out of the way politely when Stripe-back was still a quarter of a mile away; which was quite a compliment to the little animal's ability to introduce himself. Stripe-back was familiarly known as a skunk. Shortly after ten, the mountain lion had a remarkably fine chance at a buck. The direction of the wind, the trees, the thickets and the light were all in his favor. It was old Blacktail, wallowing in the salt lick; and Whisperfoot's heart bounded when he detected him. No human hunter could have laid his plans with greater care. He had to cut up the side of the edge, mindful of the wind. Then there was a long dense thicket in which he might approach within fifty feet of the lick, still with the wind in his face. Just beside the lick was another deep thicket, from which he could make his leap. His body lowered. The tall lashed back and forth, and now it had begun to have a slight vertical motion that frontiersmen have learned to watch for. He placed every paw with consummate grace, and few sets of human nerves have sufficient control over leg muscles to move with such astonishing patience. He scarcely seemed to move at all. But when scarcely ten feet remained to stalk, a sudden sound pricked through the darkness. It came from afar, but it was no less terrible. It was really two sounds, so close together that they sounded as one. Neither Blacktail nor Whisperfoot had any delusions about them. They recognized them at once, in strange ways under the skin that no man may describe, as the far-off reports of a rifle. Just today Blacktail had seen his doe fall bleeding when this same squand, only louder, spoke from a covert from which Bert Cranston had poached her—and he left the lick in one bound. Terrified though he was by the rife shot, still Whisperfoot sprang. But the distance was too far. His outstretched paw hummed down four feet behind Blacktall's flank. Then forgetting everything but his anger and disappointment, the great cougar opened his mouth and howled. The long night was almost done when he got sight of further game. Once a flock of grouse exploded with a roar of wings from a thicket; but they had been wakened by the first whisper of dawn in the wind, and he really had no chance at them. Soon after this, the moon set. The larger creatures of the forest are almost as helpless in absolute darkness as human befings. It is very well to talk of seeing in the dark, but from the nature of things, even vertical pupils may only respond to light. No owl or bat can see in absolute darkness. It became increasingly likely that Whisperfoot would have to retire to his lair without any meal whatever. But still he remained, hoping against hope. After a futile fifteen minutes of watching a trail, he heard a doe feeding on a hillside. Its footfall was not so heavy as the sturdy tramp of a buck, and besides, the bucks would be higher on the ridges this time of morning. He began a cautious advance toward it. For the first fifty yards the hunt was in his favor. He came up wind, and the brush made a perfect cover. But the doe unfortunately was standing a full twenty yards farther, in an open glade. Under ordinary circumstances, Whisperfoot would not have made an attack. A cougar can run swiftly, but a deer is light itself. The big cat would have preferred to linger, a motionless thing in the thickets, A A Full Twenty Yards Farther. hoping some other member of the deer herd to which the doe must have belonged would come into his ambush. But the hunt was late, and Whisperfoot was very, very angry. Too many times this night he had missed his kill. In desperation, he leaped from the thicket and charged the deer. In spite of the preponderant odds against him, the charge was almost a success. He went fully half the distance between them before the deer perceived him. Then she leaped. There seemed to be no interlude of time between the instant that she beheld the dim, tawny figure in the air and in that which her long legs pushed out in a spring. But she didn't leap straight ahead. She knew enough of the cougars to know that the great cat would certainly aim for her head and neck in the same way that a duck-hunter leads a fast-flying duck—hoping to intercept her leap. Even as her feet left the ground she seemed to whirl in the air, and the deadly talons whipped down in vain. Then, cutting back in front, she raced down wind. It is usually the most unmitigated folly for a cougar to chase a deer against which he has missed his stroke; and it is also quite fatal to his dignity. And whoever doubts for a minute that the larger creatures have no dignity, and that it is not very dear to them, simply knows nothing about the ways of animals. They cling to it to the death. But tonight one disappointment after another had crumbled, as the rains crumble leaves, the last vestige of Whisperfoot's self-control. Snarling in fury, he bounded after the doe. She was lost to sight at once in the darkness, but for fully thirty yards he raced in her pursuit. If he had stopped to think, it would have been one of the really great surprises of his life to hear the sudden, unmistakable stir and movement of a large, living creature not fifteen feet distant in the thicket. He didn't stop to think at all. He didn't puzzle on the extreme unlikelihood of a doe halting in her flight from a cougar. It is doubtful whether, in the thickets, he had any perceptions of the creature other than its movements. He was running down wind, so it is certain that he didn't smell it. If he saw it at all, it was just as a shadow, sufficiently large to be that of a deer. It was moving, crawling as Woof the bear sometimes crawled, seemingly to get out of his path. And Whisperfoot leaped straight at it. It was a perfect shot. He landed high on its shoulders. His head lashed down, and the white teeth closed. All the long life of his race he had known that pungent essence that flowed forth. His senses perceived it, a message shot along his nerves to his brain. And then he opened his mouth in a high, far-carrying squal of utter, abject terror. He sprang a full fifteen feet back into the thickets; then crouched. The hair stood still at his shoulders, his claws were bared; he was prepared to fight to the death. He didn't understand. He only knew the worst single terror of his life. It was not a do that he had attacked in the darkness. It was not Urson the porcupine, or even Wool. It was that imperial master of all things, man himself. Unknowing, he had attacked Landy Linderth, lying wounded from Cranston's bullet beside the trail. Word of the arson ring would never reach the settlements, after all. And as for Whisperfoot—the terror that choked his heart with blood began to wear off in a little while. The man lay so still in the thickets. Besides, there was a strange, wild smell in the air. Whisperfoot's stroke had gone home so true there had not even been a fight. The darkness began to lift around him, and a strange exultation, a rapture unknown before in all his hunting, began to creep into his wild blood. Then, as a shadow steals, he went creeping back to his dead. Dan Falling had been studying nature on the high ridges; and he went home by a back trail that led to old Bald mountain. The trail was just a narrow serpent in the brush; and it had not been made by gangs of laborers, working with shovels and picks. Possibly half a dozen white men, in all, had ever walked along it. It was just the path of the wild creatures, worn down by hoof and paw and cushion since the young days of A man in a hat is digging a hole in the ground. He is wearing a long coat and a hat.

It took him within two miles of Snowbird's lookout station, and at this hour of day he had been particularly fortunate in finding her at a certain spring on the mountain side. It was rather a singular coincidence. Along about four he would usually find himself wandering up that way. Strangely enough, at the same time, it was true that she had an irresistible impulse to go down and sit in the green ferns beside the same spring. They always seemed to be surprised to see one another. In reality, either of them would have been considerably more surprised had the other failed to put in an appearance. And always they had long talks, as the afternoon drew to twilight. "But I don't think you ought to wait so late before starting home," the girl would always say. "You're not a human hawk, and it is easier to get lost than you think." And this solicitude, Dan rightly figured, was a good sign. There was only one objection to it. It resulted in an unmistakable inference that she considered him unable to take care of himself—and that was the last thing on earth that he wanted her to think. He understood her well enough to know that her standards (Continued Next Week) READ THE TRIBUNE SERVICE North 133 ordered service of this kind in D.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OF U STREET In another column of The Tribune, we present a survey made this week by this paper, of the business and professional men and women actually in office, store or shop on this street, which includes Florida Avenue to 5th Street. This survey shows there are 125 places occupied by our men and women in a professional and business capacity. When we realize that these nine blocks of Florida Avenue and U Street run thru a section of the city almost wholly occupied by our own people (being an East and West street, the principal one for business on the north side of G Street) the opportunity for business of various kinds is patent. While there are thirty-five different lines and professions already represented, there are other necessary lines that could be entered with the same likelihood of success as attends the operation of those established. A shoe store with modern equipment and dependable stock should thrive on U Street. Leather has about gotten back to normal and the price of shoes is adjusting itself. Ten thousand dollars would make a fine showing in a shoe store here. Furniture is a line that could be successfully established and maintained on U Street. Within walking distance of the eighth Precinct Station on U Street near 9th, there are about 40,000 colored people. Within the District of Columbia there are 109,000. Just think of a city with a population of that size with one bank, one shoe store, no furniture store, a handful of grocery stores, no hardware stores, no clothing stores, no department stores. Can you realize it? Such is the position and condition of 109,000 with the highest percentage of intelligent colored people in this whole country. We harp on our being segregated; we magnify our ills; but we seldom ever extol our opportunities, our ability to accomplish, or our determination to enter into the commercial world and prove our metal therein as merchants and financiers. The principles of leadership in business are not many. They are not hard to grasp. Yet, less than two men in one hundred ever learn them. The two chief reasons for this failure are: first, lack of rounded business experience; second, the difficulty of drawing sound conclusions from the relatively few experiences that any one person can have. Every man who hopes to be a leader in the business world needs special business training apart from the ordinary work of the high schools and colleges. The successful business men of today are those who have fundamental knowledge of business principles and a faculty for the practical application of these principles to daily business life. The Florida Avenue-U Street section of nine blocks covered by the above mentoned survey, offers the man or men who can develop this leadership a wonderful opportunity to apply their knowledge and ability in more than a dozen lines in which there would be practicially no competition. Our music stores with musical instruments, records, and sheet music would be an excellent venture on U Street. A hardware store, more groceries, another bank, a steam laundry, a book store, and a department store—all could be established within the nine blocks referred to on this fast growing business street. Consider the $40,000,000 which we have on deposit in the various banks of this city. Less than a half million would be sufficient to open every business that we have mentioned. How many of the recent graduates of our city schools and of Howard University, could find employment therein? The annual turn over from the investment of a half million dollars in the lines mentioned would run into millions of dollars. Let us quit protesting orally of our condition but invest our time, means and that into a more tangible protest, which will be more readily considered and quickly heard. Our condition is an economically weak one and we only can remedy it. Train our boys and girls in commercial lines, establish more business enterprises and patronize them and we will find that the world will respect our accomplishments and hear our requests. 8 K. P. FIELD DAY BIG SUCCESS The Field Day exercises of the Uniform Department of the Knights of Pythias held Thursday afternoon, at American League Ball Park, was a distinct success. Several hundred members and friends of various organizations were in attendance. The principal features of the event were the drill contest, dress parade and a ball game. The dress parade was reviewed by Col. Geo. H. Hunt, 1st Regt. U. R. K. of P. The drill team contestants were Simon Commandery, Knights Templer, Capt. Al. Dodson, Commanding; Washington Patriarchie, No. 18, G. U. O. of F., Capt., G. Gaines, commanding; Georgetown Patriarchie No. 42, Capt. Ed. Chivers, commanding; and Ancientt Order of Knights of Jerusalem, Capt. G. W. Clark, commanding. Each drill team gave an excellent exhibition; and in a close contest, the Simon Commandery, K. T. was awarded the coveted prize. The judges were: Capt. S. F. Sewell; 1st Lieut. Richard Banks and 1st Lieut. Charles E. Lane. In big league style, the Datcher Lodge, F. A. A. M. and the Corinthian Lodge, F. A. A. M. played an exciting game of ball, and the laurels were carried off by the Datcher Lodge to the tune of 5 to 4. The following fraternal musical organizations were in the line of march: Odd Fellows Concert Band, Prof. Elzie Hoffman, Dir; Elk's Military Band, C. E. Blakey, Dir.; and the Fife and Drum Corps of the K. of P. The following organizations were represented: Knights Templar F. A. A. M., Patriarchs, G. U. O. F., A. O. K. of J., I. B. P. O. E. of W., Auxiliaries to the K. of P. and to Patriarchies. The Department Staff of the Uniform Department of Knights of Pythias includes: Gen. J. Clay Smith Commanding Officer; Col. O. M. Smith Chief of Staff; Col. Wm. S. Conway Adj. Gen.; Col. Benjamin F. Johnson Q. M. Gen.; Col. John T. Rhines, Judge Advocate Gen.; Col. J. E. White, Chief Sig. Officer; Col. R. J. Henderson, Chief Mustering Officer; Col. A. G. W. Gaines, Surgeon Gen.; Col. George F. Knickerbock, Inspector Gen.; Col. James O. Barber, Chief Engineer; Maj. Wm. E. Ridout, Chaplain; Maj.

Harper, Regimental Supply Officer. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY JUNE 25, 1921 STREET SURVEY SHOWS BIG BUSINESS BOOM The Washington Tribune recently made a complete survey of the racial business and professional men and women on U Street beginnig on Florida Avenue, at Fifth Street on through to 14th. The survey disclosed the fact that there are 125 offices and business places in these nine blocks. The 125 places are divided into 35 different lines, with from one to nine establishments in each line. Of the single establishments there is the Industrial Savings Bank; the office of the Prudential Bank, which is in the process of formation; the S. H. Dudley Theatre; the Virginia Hall Laundry; Mme. Blanche, the milliner; the Capitol Haberdashery, the office of the Standard Life Insurance Co; an undertaking establishment; a musical studio; a sign studio: a church; and the Murray Casino. Running in pairs are two groceries: two jewelers, two lodge halls, two newstands, two manufactories of hair preparations and two chiropodists. It is remarkable that there are only three pool rooms. Running in threees are florists, conectioneries, photo studios, Notary publics and shoe reairing shops. There happens to be no quartettes. Among the quintettes are printing establishments, soft drink places, lawyers, newspapers and shoe shining parlors. With the real estate dealers, the physicians and drug stores, six is their number. In the lucky seven class there are tonsorial artists and dentists, while hair dressing parlors and the restaurants tie up for eight each. Only one class reaches nine in number and that is the cleaning and dyeing establishments. Did you think there were that many places on U St., occupied by colored people? Go over the list again and get a line on the class of business and type of professions in these nine blocks. All of these offices and business establishments are conducted by colored people and represent an investment of time, money and brains. In return they are giving employment to a large number of persons, who are not only making a daily living, but getting practical business experience that will enable them to push their own business successfully or branch out into still other lines not here represented. The Murray Casino building was the last noteworthy one to be erected on this busy street and the proposed Masonic building will add its quota to the improvement and business appearance of the street. MASS MEETING TO FIGHT MD. JIM CROW CAR LAW A great mass meeting will be held Sunday afternoon, at the Zion Baptist church, F Street, between 3d and 4 1-2 streets, S.

EXAMS FOR LIEUTENANTS OPEN TO ALL Three thousand lieutenants are needed for the United States Army, so the War Department announces. Orders from the department, have been issued for an examination to be held August 22, for men to fill these three thousand positions. A committee from the Ministers Alliance held a conference with the Adjutant General of the department recently and were informed that there were no restrictions attached as to race or locality. Applicants must be between 21 and 30 years of age; commissioned in the Reserve Corps, enlisted men or graduates of schools where military training is given. Young men desiring a commission as second lieutenant in the regular army, should write at once to the Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, D. C., for blanks and necessary instruction. Rev. E. W. D. Jones, who was chairman of the committee that waited on the Adjutant General, said: "Young men who are qualified for these positions, should not allow this excellent opportunity to pass. There is all possibility that the McCormick bill may pass the present Congress, providing for four more regiments of colored troops in the regular army and those who take this examination would have the better opportunity for promotion. It is imperative that action be taken at once." Washington Clergy to be Banquetted The Universal Coal Co. Inc. is to hold a banquet at the Whitelaw Hotel July 1st at 3 p. m. in honor of the Washington clergy. Invitations have been sent out to all the local clergy irrespective of denominations and each minister has been supplied with two extra invitations which may be re-issued to any two of his deacons or trustees. It is expected that this affair will be one of the most important social events ever held in honor of the local clergy. The speakers will be selected from the following: Pres. King of Liberia, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Attorney Armond Scott, Rev. Ernest Lyons of Baltimore, Md., and Rev. Emory B. Smith. New Insurance Company Making Rapid Strides The Federal Insurance Company, said to be the first local race insurance company formed here in the last twenty years, reports that the organization is rapidly growing into public favor. Stock in this company is being offered for sale to the general public and little or no trouble is being encountered in promoting the proposition. The persons directly responsible for the organization of this company are all men of wide experience in the insurance business. Accused of Poisoning Whites Montgomery, Ala.—Two people, a man and a woman, were lodged in jail at Greenville by sheriff's deputies, charged with poisoning Mrs. J. F. Moore, wife of a white planter living about six miles west of Greenville, in Butler county. They are reported to have purchased poison and placed it in the water bucket of the Moore family.
