The Washington Tribune ARMY OFFICER WHO SHOT CHRISTMAS TO BE TRIED General Educational Board Discriminates HOWARD GRADUATES DENIED SCHOLARSHIPS UNLESS THEY AGREE TO PRACTICE IN SOUTH Sinister Moves by Educational Board Proves There is an Organized Conspiracy to Relegate the Race to the South Through a Well Constructed Program of Action All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 9 ARMY O Gene HOWARD GRAD SCHOLARSHIPS AGREE TO PRACT Sinister Moves by Edu There is an Organ Relegate the Ra Through a We Program There seems to be a general concerted action by men of money and influence to keep the colored man subdued and subjected to living only in the southern section of this country. This has been brought to light in more ways than one and has its far reaching influence thru our schools and colleges. Last year there graduated at the Howard University Medical School, Miss Carrie J. Sutton, of San Antonio Texas. Dr. Sutton applied for and received a $1,200 scholarship given by Julius Rosenwald, through the General Educational Board of New York City, to further the study of Medicine. After receiving the scholarship she found that she could enter Freedmen's Hospital as an interne and she asked that the scholarship be deferred until after she had finished her interne-ship, which would only be for a year. On the First of July she completed her interne-ship at the hospital, being the only woman that had ever been admitted in such capacity during the history of the hospital. In May she applied for the scholarship to be used this year, from the General Educational Board. There were three other doctors who applied for scholarships to the General Education Board this year: Dr. W. C. Johnson, now an interne at Freedmen's Hospital; Dr. C. C. Cook, and Dr. Dightower, of this city. Each of these young-physicians received a letter from the President, Dr. Abraham Flxener, of the General Educational Board, to the effect that they were ineligible unles they were going to practice in the South. While Dr. Sutton's home is in San Antonio, she is thinking of practicing in "the Middle West" as she stated to a representative of The Tribune. Dr. Sutton said: "I do not know just where I will locate to pursue my profession; and do not feel that we should be bound by obligating ourselves to practice in any certain section of this country which boasts of being the 'home of the free.' I sent the letter on to my father for his consideration but do not think that I shall press the claim for the scholarship." Julius Rosenwald poses as a great friend to colored people and is a trustee of Tuskegee Institute. He decided to offer scholarships for colored graduates in medicine, to take up "fundamental medicine" with the provision that the one receiving the scholarship must agree to participate in the South. This insidious propaganda is being speard thru our educational institutions by making gifts with strings to them. "The invisible" governing power of our schools is wielding far greater influence thru a conspiracy to hold the race in the South, than the average layman realizes. This letter discloses a link in the chain that is being forged by "the powers that be" who dominate the Board of Directors of our various educational institutions.

Church, of which Rev. J. W. Waters is pastor, a very liberal collection was lifted and turned over to the local troops of the Boy Scouts movement the members of which left for the camp in Ardmore Md., July 1. Mr. Chas. Marshall, Probation Officer of the Jevenile Court is the District commissioner of the local Boy Scout activities. A CORRECTION Owing to the leaving out of a rule to separate the two columns in the article on "Representative Committee Protests to Col. Sherrill" appearing in last week's Tribune, several people were misled as to its purport. The Tribune has taken a definite stand against discrimination and will ever be found a contender for the right and the people's welfare. Essay Winner Announced Next Week The winners in The Tribune's big "Essay" contest will be announced in our next issue. The essays are now in the hands of the judges and owing to the large number sent in, they will not be able to complete them before next week. Watch next week's paper for the winning and other essays. The Management also desires to take this opportunity to thank the many who sent in essays for their interest and the loyal spirit which prompted them to participate in an effort on the part of The Tribune to find out what public sentiment is on such an important question. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE MAY STOP EXECUTION DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE MAY STOP EXECUTION Declares Henry A. Brown will not be Railroaded to the Gallows TWO REPRIEVES GRANTED Conflicting Testimony of the Witnesses to be a Big Factor W. Frank Gibbs assistant to Attorney General Daugherty has stated that there is no disposition on the part of the Department of Justice to show Henry A. Brown, accused slayer of a white nurse near Annapolis last spring, any special consideration, nor said Mr. Gibbs, is the Department disposed to railroad him to the gallows to satisfy public clamor. The statement was made after the star had carried an article Wednesday evening stating that the people of Annapolis were indignant because President Harding on the advice of the Department, had granted two reprieves to the accused man. The second reprieve grants a stay until August 1st. Many of the low element in Annapolis are clamoring for the life of Brown on the ground that it would set a bad example to not have a Negro hanged for the murder of a white woman and their attitude generally is regardless of whether there is exact proof of the man's guilt or not. Governor Ritchie addressed a letter to Atty. Gen. Daugherty in which he expressed the hope that the Department will act finally in the case before the expiration of the second reprieve. Mr. Finch of the Department is now engaged in reviewing the testimony in the case and his decision will probably be made public in a few days. Mr. Gibbs stated that the testimony of several important witnesses, on which Brown's conviction was probably brought about, is conflicting in essential details, which accounts for the reprieves and raises a serious doubt us to whether Brown will be hanged. The case gained much publicity because no clue was found that offered more than circumstantial evidence. Brown was arrested because he was later found in the vicinity where the murder occurred. At first he stoutly denied having any knowledge of the crime and protested his innocence; but after he was carried through the third degree he is alleged to have confessed. Later in Court Brown repudiated his alleged confession because he stated the authorities beat him so severely in putting him through the third degree, he had to do something to save his NO DECISION REACHED IN CASE OF J. L. CHESTNUT NO DECISION REACHED IN CASE OF J. L. CHESTNUT After Hearing Evidence Board Deliberates for Over an Hour MANY WITNESSES CALLED Atty. Hayden Johnson Acts As Counsel for the Defense The trial of Mr. James L. Chestnut, before the school board came up Wednesday night, on the charges of gross violation of the rules of the board "by committing an act against morality and good order." The trial was the first that the board has held in three years, and resulted in no decision. Mr. Chestnut was suspended on May 31, by the board, after Miss Marguerite Robinson, twenty years old, a pupil of Mr. Chestnut's night school, filed charges against him of improper conduct, which was alleged to have occurred in February, but the charges were not filed until April 25th, and Mrs. Kennard, who is Miss Robinson's sister and guardian testified that she did not know of the affair until about the time the charges were filed in April. Mr. Chestnut stoutly denies the charges. The trial opened about 8 o'clock and continued until 11:20. The board retired behind closed doors and discussed the evidence and after an hour's deliberation, announced that they would not reach a decision until a later date. Atty. Hayden Johnson represented Mr. Chestnut at the trial. William H. Whaley, assistant corporation counsel, was the Government's attorney. More than a score of witnesses were heard in the case. Percy E. Ricks, a friend of Miss Robinson told of attacking Mr. Chestnut when informed by Miss Robinson of the teache's actions toward her. Mr. Chestnut had as character witnesses Mr. John Franklin and Mr. Irvin Norris, both in the class with Miss Robinson, who testified that they had not seen anything improper in Mr. Chestnut's conduct; and also Mr. J. C. Burrls, Dr. William A. Warfield, of Freedmen's Hospital; Walter J. Singleton, and Prof. Walter Dyson, of Howard University. From the evidence produced, it appears that these charges were instigated by Dr. John R. Francis. life. Most of the evidence against Brown appears to be manufactured and it is because of this that the Department has granted the reprieves and will probably prevent the hanging of this ill-acused man. HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER'S APPEAL FOR ICE CREAM CO. PROVES FRUITLESS Chas. M. Thomas Used in Effort to Induce Business Men to Repudiate Their Stand in Throwing Company's Cream Out Office: 920 U St., N. W. MAS TO I discrimin HIGH SCHOOL APPEAL FOR CO. PRO Chas. M. Thomas Use Business Men to Re in Throwing Com SHELLEY CASE CALLED SOON Ministers Manifest Great Interest in Case. Will Employ Counsel Lieut. Col. James E. Shelley, of Alabama, Quartermaster Corps U. S. A., is to be tried by general court-martial on charges growing out of his shooting Richard Christmas, a hostler, at the uartermaster stables on 19th street several weeks ago. Orders have gone from the War Dpartment to the officer in command of the 3d Corps Area, with headuarters at Baltimore, to arrange for the trial. The District of Columbia is included in that corps area. The Corps commander will detail the members of the court, submit the charges against the accused officer and designate where the court shall hold its sessions. Following the usual course, the court will be composed of thirteen officers, the majority of higher rank than the accused, and a judge advocate to present the evidence in supporting the charges. The charges were prepared in the office of the judge advocate general of the Army and are based on the results of an investigation made by officers of the inspector general's department immediately following the shooting affair. They have not been made public, but are said to allege violations of the articles of war, relating either to conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline or to conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. It is stated at the War Department that action in the case was deferred to await the result of Christmas' injuries. He is now regarded as out of danger. If he had died, it is stated, the case would have been turned over to the civil courts of the District for action. The Ministerial Alliance has interested itself in the case and after calling on Secretary of War Weeks, got permission to have counsel for Christmas. The trial is expected to come up soon. TRIBUNE REFUSES ICE CREAM OFFER Editor J. Finley Wilson informed us that the Carry Ice Cream Company wished to give us a gallon of cream on the Fourth. We told Editor Wilson that we could not consistently accept Carry's ice cream and phoned the Company to that effect. They said that we were the only paper to refuse. We told them that we did so on principle. The Tribune takes the position that a paper should have a policy and follow it consistently. We are against those who discriminate against our people and cannot therefore accept favors from them. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS BE TRIED ates TEACHER'S FOR ICE CREAM MOVES FRUITLESS ed in Effort to Induce pudiate Their Stand company's Cream Out Professor Charles M. Thomas, has accepted a position with the Chapin-Sacks Ice Cream Company "to promote the sale of ice cream among colored people," and to try and get the colored druggists to reconsider their action in kicking "Velvet Kind" out as a result of the company's discrimination against colored children in April. Prof. Thomas is a teacher of economies in the Dunbar High School; and under the pseudonym "Ironquill," he writes for a local paper. Since the 9th of April there has been much ado over the discrimination against colored children by the Chapin Sacks Ice Cream Company, on the Ellispe in the distribution of ice cream. Some of the colored druggists became incensed over the matter because they were selling the Chapin-Sacks cream to their customers, and being loyal race citizens, they could not stand for their customers to be discriminated against and not resent it. Exercising their personal privilege in the matter, about a dozen of the colored druggists have stopped patronizing the Chapin-Sacks Company and have installed the Fussell ice cream, which some allege is better and more saleable. Some of those who had the nerve and initiative to kick the "Velvet Kind" out and install "Fussell's" are: Banks and Burwell, corner of 12th and U Streets, N.W.; Dr. Simmons, 21st and L streets, N.W.; Sweeney's Pharmacy, 20th and E Streets, N.W.; Dr. Morse, 19th and L Streets, N.W.; Dr. Plummer, 3d and H Streets, N.W.; Jackson and Whipps, 7th and T Sts., N. W. During the week of April the 4th, the afternoon dailies printed a statement to the effect that white children would be served ice cream on the Ellipse from 1 to 5 and the colored children after five. A committee called on the Chapin-Sacks Company and asked an explanation for their actions on the Ellipse. The committee was informed that the Company did not authorize the statement appearing in the papers. They were asked to refute the statement in the same papers in which it appeared but refused to do so. The following propositions were placed before the management of the Chapin-Sacks Company and they were asked to sign one for publication. 1. That during the week of April 4, 1921, the Washington Times and Washington Herald printed upon their own initiative news items relative to the distribution of free ice cream by the Chapin-Sacks Corporation on April 9, 1921 on the Ellipse, which news stated in part that the white children would be given a party from (Continued to Page 8) Don't Fail to Read Discrimination,this week's article on the Bureau of Engraving Printing Discrimination in Bureau of Engraving is Rank Investigator Continues to Unearth Conditions More Characteristic of a Peonage Farm than of one of the Government Departments Second Anniversary Sale A Large Assortment of Beautiful Dresses in Combination Sport Models of Georgette, Crepe-de-Chine, Canton Crepe and Satin Dresses for the Smaller Women.

Yet in the Bureau of Engraving, within sight of the White House, we find a Democrat dector and assistant director and conditions so deplorable, that it would do Georgia proud. Under all conditions, whether political or economic, justice must be the silent determining force. When questionable politics clog the machinery of government, some one must suffer. The bureaucrats may erect a governmental superstructure but they cannot long becloud the issue—nor cheat the employees out of their rights and privileges. They may use excessive measures and attach severe penalties but unless there is equitable application, the method must fail. Nothing but force will sustain discrimination; but the present administration will not sanction force to sustain a vice; hence officials of the Bureau must find other methods. Since it does not require a superabundance of brains to use trickery, no doubt a way will be found if they remain in office. But why should they remain? They have usually bungled affairs in such a manner as to make the institution an object of ridicule. Inconsistent Rulings In war, it reminded one of a rendezvous for slackers; and in peace, a hothed of discrimination. The report, relative to the male employees—stated to the draft board—was that work in the Bureau "is essential and trained men canont easily be replaced." The report to the reclassification committee stated that men of ordinary ability and a common school education could do almost any grade of the work. The first report cheated the army out of men who should have been in COURTESY S. C.

All Sizes at $.79 --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 the trenches and the latter report cheated the employees out of a just rating and the money that would accompany such rating. Under such vacillating opinions and inconsistent rulings, how can any one expect justice? Relative to Appointments As for assistants, during the war the director insisted that he could not secure sufficient help. He asked that Civil Service rules be waived in order that he might appoint girls without examination. All the while the Civil Service rolls were well stocked with eligibles. Of course, they were not the eligibles the officials favored and were not appointed. These girls, having complied with the requirements of the Civil Service Commission were entitled to appointment but they were the victims of the "system." Salary Schedule The U. S. Chamber of Commerce, comprising 1400 business organizations, has gone on record as favoring and strongly urging reclassification, uniform wages, and a merit system. They urge not only adequate but uniform pay and accept it as an "elementary proposition that any body of employees permeated with a sense of unjust and inequitable treatment by an employer in the primary matter of just pay for services rendered, will be expensive and inefficient." Yet in the face of such logic and despite assurance from the best minds and organizations, the chiefs in nearly all the departments, still try to maintain the dual standard in assignments and salary schedules. Nearly all assignments are made with reference to salary and the man. Efficiency does not count. Certain employees are often assigned to positions, only to find that the money for the grade of work has been transferred to another position. Equitable salary schedules and assignments prevail only in the lower paid positions. Relative to Promotions "Promotions," says the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, "should be given GITTELMA Ready To Wear G 1328 7th Street, N. W.

Every chief in the employ of the government knows that. They know it is fine in doctrine but bad in practice. Their friends would suffer. The lackey would disappear. Spies would become obsolete. The chief, himself, would, in many cases, receive a smaller salary than subordinates because chiefs do not often secure their positions through merit. Now and then, vacancies occur wherein the applicant must have clerical ability. Sometimes an examination is held for the purpose of filling these vacancies but all undesirables are barred even though they are best qualified in every conceivable way to fill the position. In other cases the clerks are merely hand picked and have to their credit neither efficiency nor seniority. A resort to such high handed methods shows in just what dire straits are the bosses in trying to perpetuate the "system." It might, also, show just to what extent male-factors will go in trying to maintain dual standards in the fundamentals of life. Enforcement of Rules There are hundreds of burdensome rules—rules to fit every individual case. Certain rules are never enforced except as a matter of revenge. Other rules are allowed to become "dead letters"; and then, all at once, a notion comes to spring the trap always with a view to embarass a certain few. There are rules, so ridiculous and one sided, that they dare not reduce them to writing. 'Tis the hand of the coward that fears to strike in the open. A rule was once formulated that any one guilty of leaving government securities unprotected in a truck would be summarily dismissed. The notice, if such was written, was never seen by many of the employees, yet the very next day several employees were dismissed for the offense. That rule was enforced to the letter until the penalty, without any advance notice, has dwindled to a five day suspension, on one of the favorites. There was a rule that no employee should mark the tissue indicating the amount of printed securities in a package nor the name of the printer thereon. On one occasion an employee disobeyed this rule. He was promptly suspended. The very next day a petty boss marked a tissue in the forbidden manner and nothing was done about the matter.

They, that have been wronged are coming to us in private and enabling us to meet the bosses in public. As a result they are on the defensive. Before an indignant public they will seek to justify themselves. But nothing justifies discrimination. The reaction has set in and the hand picked bosses must go. Where there has been discrimination, it must cease. Where there have been abuses, they will no longer be tolerated. Where harm has been done, it must be corrected. Incapacity in administration, official cruelty and repressive methods are evils that sorely beset the functioning of this great institution. The Republicans have offered a constructive program. The public will not be satisfied that they are handicapped by Democrat holdovers. They will not tolerate inefficiency, protected by old alliances, the relics of an administration that is done. They will not condone evil in the form of discrimination to save the few while it spreads discontent in the rank and file of the employees. Efficiency and economy were pre-election promises. They were after election assurances and now they must become administrative realities or practical democracy is a failure. Administrative reform is imperative. Gen. Dawes realizes that the success of the budget will depend, in large measure upon the employees in general. But as a body, they cannot function so long as their hands are tied. As individuals they can be of little service so long as their lips are sealed. Therefore, he has liberated them temporarily. This may be the entering wedge. Representative Madden before the House Committee on Reform in the Civil Service, denounces the present methods of handling disciplinary cases in the classified service. He claims there should be a court of appeals: "In some cases," said he, "methods are harsh and repressive and in others so lax as to encourage inefficiency." "Too much power," he continued, "is vested in the bosses." He is one man who has a thorough grasp of the situation. All virtues are negative. There is not a single rule that establishes a specific reward of merit—of efficiency—of honesty—of industry. But for every rule reading, "Thou shalt not," penalties are attached—suspension, demotion, dismissal. Thus wrong doing has its penalties definitely established. Why should positive virtues not have the same definite assurances of reward? Because prejudice and propaganda have so warped the minds and dulled the intellects of many of the bosses that they only see things in the light of expedience. A resort to expediency usually ends in discrimination. In their conceit they may bluff and blunder; they may dare and defy; they may oppose and oppress; but as surely as fate, the bureaucratic superstructure they have erected is bound to fall unless founded upon justice and equali- (Continued Next Week) DOINGS AT LINGCOLN, MD.

Annual Meeting of Negro Music Association It has just been learned through Prof. H. B. P. Johnson of Nashville, Tenn., the chairman of the local committee of arrangements, that all things are now in readiness for the coming of the National Association of Negro Musicians which is to meet in the city of Nashville, July 26 to 28. The first day's session will be held in the spacious auditorium of the Mount Olive Baptist Church. Other meetings will be held on the campus of Fisk University, the institution which has done so much for the musical development of the race. Mr. Johnson also announces that the white music stores of Nashville have agreed to "feature the compositions of Negroes" during the entire week that the national association is in session. This is something new to Nashville but it is only one of the The Door of Opportunity is Open to You Through the many surprises that Nashville musicians have in store for the visitors. Not only music stores, but it is announced that the schools, churches and all organizations using music in any form whatever, will be requested to feature the music of Negro composers during said week. Teachers, preachers and all persons who have opportunity to do so, will be called upon to se their influence in any way possible to help create among the people of our race a keener appreciation of the works of Negro composers. It is hoped that this may be made a national movement, says Mr. Johnson. White stores further South featuring Negro Music are alright and interesting, but why not a Race store owned and controlled by Nashville colored musicians? Surely, we buy enough music, all things considered. We presume however, that they, any one of them, are afraid of the proposition for lack of patronage. Washington Musicians Poor Example Right here in our own city, race musicians manifest utter indifference toward a colored store located in Ninth Street northwest, which has been opened for several years but has survived the lean years through patronage largely of white people in the vicinity. That's a strong indictment against music folk of the race and especially Negro musicians and teachers here in Washington, who trade entirely among white stores. This store now is carrying a large stock of music of all classes and grades, still no Negro musician makes a specialty of buying there. Talking about encouraging Negro composers, why don't you know the Negro store is the best medium of exploiting Negro compositions among our people, as white stores do not make displays of same nor do many of them care to handle music by black folk. That's an evident fact here in our city; and just why colored teachers and musicians as well as their pupils, can't see the necessity of patronizing a music enterprise conducted by one of their own race is one of the puzzling problems to be solved. GIRLS! THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 N. B.—A year's subscription to The Washington Tribune, payable monthly in advance, MUST accompany this coupon. Negro Choirs in same boat. There are about one hundred choirs (and perhaps more) in Negro churches in this city. Where too, do they purchase all of their music? Answer—from some white store. Do they get it any cheaper? No; but they believe so. Do they get it any quicker? No; but they think so. Thus the spirit of non-racial patronage runs the gauntlet, on down through the Negro band, Negro orchestra, Negro student and Negro music lover. It must be purchased from "illy" white hands before it would sound right on the piano, graphophone or player; that's all. And, like all other Negro enterprises the Negro Music Store must suffer along with them for lack of staunch support; but it cannot fail if managed properly. We hope some Nashville musician, instead of requesting the whites to feature their own race music, will open one of their own as well and do so. We are not decrying the splendid good-will of our white friends who are kindly disposed, but we are preaching the gospel of race pride to one and all. Nor have we any tears to shed, only smiles and keep "Hopin' On." GUESTS AT WHITELAW E. Garcia, New York City. Leroy Edwards, Baltimore, Md. Miss Geneva Hamilton, Keyes, W. Va.

ISSUES ENCOURAGING REPORT The Armstrong Association of Philadelphia affiliated with the National Urban League has just issued a most interesting and encouraging report of a year's work in behalf of the colored citizens of the "City of Brotherly Love." The Association specializes in industrial activities, having placed 1933 persons in positions last year at an estimated value of $224,837 per month. Nine contracts were awarded to colored contractors amounting to $67,985, and one man was placed as an engineer with the Pennsylvania Railroad,—the first time that this Company has engaged a colored man in this capacity. Home and School Visitors who have carried social work from three school centers into the homes of the pupils, have made on the average of one hundred visits each per month. These workers have assisted in starting a Little Mother's Club and a clinic for babies, and in investigating the need for a Day Nursery in one of the neighborhoods (nursery to be established in fall). They have inaugurated a successful Dress Reform, Campaign against Lateness, and assisted in strengthening the Big Sister and Scout Movement. A scholarship fund of $1727.61 was raised with which three scholarships were established at the University of Pennsylvania, one at a medical college and one at Temple University. Assistance was given to two students at the University of Pennsylvania and to one who is preparing to enter Hampton Institute. Neighborhood Center work has been conducted during the summer in Southern New Jersey where a successful Farmer's Picnic was conducted, Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Haynes is particularly fitted to discuss this subject as she has given years to the study of industrial conditions as they affect colored girls and women. If industrial democracy is coming, Mrs. Haynes believes that the workingmen as a class must be trained for the responsibility which the future has for him. In his organizations and under his own leaders, he must learn to practice that fairness and self restraint without which democracy cannot function. The Washington delegation to Cheyney was composed of Mrs. Boyce, President of the Y. W. C. A.; Mrs. J. W. Hamilton, Chr. of the Industrial Committee; Miss King, Industrial Secretary for the Phyllis Wheatley Branch; Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, Mrs. M. A. Chiles and Mrs. Carolyn Hall Mason, and twelve representatives from the various Industrial and Business Clubs. The Florida Avenue Baptist Church, having paid off its entire mortgage June 14, the full amount of which was $23,000 is preparing to burn the same July 21, its ninth anniversary and the eighth of its pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor. Jabez Lee has been selected to write and read the church history at the celebration. The committee on program, Jabez Lee, chairman; Linwood Turner, Dr. J. J. Porter, E. H. Glenn, W.

Manly has been the consultant on problems affecting the Negro workers in a large number of big industrial plants, and the woman industrial secretary, Miss Emma V. Carter has rendered similar services in connection with women employees in factories and other connections. Recently Miss A. L. Richardson, who has for a number of years been a Home and School Visitor, was taken over by the Board of Education of Philadelphia for this same work thus justifying the Armstrong Association in its experiment. The Secretary and most active person on the Board of Managers of the Armstrong Association is John T. Emlen who is Vice-Chairman and member of the Executive Board of the National Urban League. The cost of conducting this work during the past year was $9228.60. The Board of Managers is made up of both colored and white men and women who feel that it is thru cooperation of this kind that the causes of misunderstanding between the races and friction may be reduced to a minimum. Y.W.C.A. CONFERENCE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL GIRLS Nothing can be so delightfully instructive as a conference, if rightly treated. The Colored Industrial Conference of the East Central Field of the Y. W. C. A. held at Cheyney Industrial School, June 18 to 25, offered a wealth of knowledge and experience in all maters pertaining to the ideals of this organization. The theme of the conference revolved about the words of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois: "I believe in service—humble, reverent service; from the blackening of boots to the whitening of souls." The Reverend Doctor Imes of Philadelphia, in an excellent sermon opening the conference stressed the ways in which those desiring to render real service might do so in accordance with Dr. DuBois's wonderful preachment. "The Colored Girl in Industry" was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. Elizabeth R. Haynes, a member of the Industrial Committee of the Phyllis 3 CHURCH PAYS OFF DEBT Roy Moorman is off his run suffering with neuritis in the arm. R.

Motion Picture Suggests Amazonian Theory as Solution of Post-War Problem The World War has left two million women in England who will never have a chance to marry. Practically every European nation who participated now finds that the shortage of males has left it in the same predicament. Various solutions to this baffling problem have been unsuccessfully offered. Children born out of wedlock have been legitimized; polygamy has been advanced in theory, the transplanting of the surplus females to other lands has been thought of, but none have been a success. Press dispatches from England have declared that the shortage of marriageable men has produced a second and more appalling situation.

Those who have despaired of finding a solution to this dilemma may yet find it in the matriarchal sequence of Allen Holubar's Associated First National super-feature, "Man-Woman-Marriage," starring Dorothy Phillips at the Dunbark Theatre. The Amazons propagated a finer race of males by permitting the women to choose their mates and to have full charge of the rearing of children. Men unfit to become fathers were doomed to bachelorhood and women unfit to mother posterity never married. If such a course were pursued in England healthy women would not feel hesitant about proposing to men. There would then be no necessity of marrying chronic invalids, and the success of future generations would be assured. INGTON THE LATEST orientals" In Dances BEG. MON.

THEWASHINGTON BRAVES The Washington Braves returned home from a long trip Monday and stayed in Washington long enough to play three games, two of which they won. The team then beat it away to some other town to play. While away, the Braves are reported to have won 14 out of 21 games, which is a very good record for any team but the sad and lamentable part about it, they kept all this good news to themselves and therefqre, the good base ball fans of Washington really forgot they had a base ball team. Absence makes the heart grow fonder so the saying goes, but it usually grows fonder for some one else. So it seems in this case. The team returned suddenly home to play Homestead Grays and to their sad dismay, and notwithstanding the fact that ladies were admitted free, Monday morning July 4th at 10:30 found a measley few fans out at the American League Park to greet the heroes. The game was advertised probably well enough, but the fault was, that the team had not been advertised. Handicapped at the first of the season by lack of co-ordination between the management and the players and in some cases mediocre talent, the team got in bad with the public from the start. There also arose some dissatisfaction because certain local players were not given a proper tryout with the team. All of this tended to create a bad feeling between the public and the team hence the support of the team has not been sincere and regular. The real cause of this The Tribune thinks is the management of the team. They have not tried to win the public over and in many cases have absolutely neglected the public. Because of this neglect, the management had the unplasnant experience this week of finding as many rooters for the visiting team as there were for Washing- JOHNSON WINS RUN Pasadena, July 4. While a few colored trackmen participated in the great A. A. U. meet held here, only one of them won one of the important events. The old stars of yesterday were greatly missed for they always held sway in the sprints. The only member of the race to stand out prominently was R. E. Johnson who ran under the colors of Thomas Steel Works in the five mile run. It was anybody's race for the first mile or two then Johnson went out in front and stayed there finishing in 25 minutes and 53 2-5 seconds. Paddock, the printing idol of Southern California, smashed Howard Drew's record for the 100 yard dash by making it in 9 3-5 seconds. HARRY WILLS KNOCKS OUT New York, July 2.—Harry Wills of New Orleans, now termed the only logical contender for the world's heavyweight championship, knocked out "Big Bill Tate" of New York here in the sixth round of a fifteen-round match in Long Island City. Wills completely outclassed the big fellow. The bell saved Tate in the fifth round when he was knocked down twice and he took the count of nine in the sixth round before the final count. Wills weighed 214 pounds and Tate 243. CONGERNING JACK JOHNSON In commenting on the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, Arthur Brisbane says: "Enthusiasts are advised not to bet too violently on Dempsey if he ever meets a good man about his own weight. 'Little Arthur' Johnson, now languishing in a Federal Prison, could have disposed of Dempsey easily in his good fighting days." Jack Johnson was released from prison today. He has been training during the year that he has spent there and is said to be in excellent condition. Many believe that he is the best boxer in the world today. One of the latest additions for recreation and amusement opened by the progressive business men of the District, is the new Suburban Gardens, at 50th and Hayes streets, N. E. The gates of this new amusement park ton; the spirit was generally that of a critic than that of a rooter for the home team. This indeed speaks bad for 108,000 people of Washington; but we cannot wholly place the blame for this criticism on their shoulders. The public is always just and fair. Too often it has been accused when the real cause has been with the management of whatever business that was complaining. The public only appreciates those things that seem to appreciate them. This team while away enjoying so many victories missed a great opportunity to create a feeling of pride among the home folk by their refusal to send any news whatever back to any of the local papers. The management before leaving on the last road trip was invited to send returns of each game in to this paper and we would pay the expense of same but this they stubbornly refused to do for some reason we have not been able to ascertain. The team is now on the road but not a dozen people in Washington know just where and whom they are playing and when they will return. We believe the public is anxious and willing to support a good team provided the management makes the proper bid for their support. It is sad to say that the Braves are not as well known here as some visiting teams. The two games July 4th drew less than 1500 people, notwithstanding the fact that there was no other major attraction in the citw white or colored. The fact that the team won two out of three games from the fast Homestead club shows that all the players are of a very high rating; so the lack of their popularity does not rest on their shoulders. The public really doesn't know the men. No score cards with their names were available at the game, no box score has appeared in any of the papers so they learn them that way, so the fans who did attend the game had little or no opportunity to get acquainted with the men. While we do not desire to criticise Mr. Buckner, the manager, we must say that unless he can show managerial ability in the way of making his team popular in Washington, base ball among our people here will be set back many years. Washington is too good a field to be ruined and unless something is done soon, we think base ball will be a long time getting up to a paying basis. were opened the 25th of June and has been the attraction for hundreds of people seeking a respite from the sultry city streets. The New Suburban Gardens are owned and operated by the Universal Improvement and Loan Company, a corporation capitalized for $100,000 by colored men of the District of Columbia. The park contains nine acres of ground, with beautiful shade trees. The management has erected a $12,000 pavilion to be used for conventions, chautauquas, dances etc. A merry-go-round has been installed, swings have been placed and athletic fields are provided for, with carnival features lending their attractions. Lodges and other organizations desiring an excellent picnic ground may phone the management for dates for their outings. The office of the company is located at 502 T street, N. W. The cars on H street marked "District Line" will take you direct to the grounds. There is a general admission of 10 cents. LOVEJOY CENTER INSTALLS OFFICERS The Lovejoy Community Center installed the following officers for the ensuing year: Mr. Henry, president; Mrs. Early, vice president; Mrs. Letitia Lewis, secretary, Mr. William Queenan, treasurer, Mrs. Rebecca Gray, Community secretary. Rev. Burke, pastor of Israel Baptist Church, acting as master of ceremonies, made a very interesting talk, which was followed by a short program. Refreshments were served. CHOCOLATE BROWN SHOW AT HOWARD By Jay Bee The Howard Theatre patrons, despite the torrid weather of the past week, were given a red-hot, sizzling show, when "Irv" Miller's latest musical comedy success, "Chocolate Brown," in two acts, was presented. The show has a real plot that is unusually well followed throughout the play, which is interspersed with a score of catchy song numbers, novelties and specialties. There were several crucial situations that provoked the spontaneous applause of a liberal handed audience and afforded an excellent opportunity to witness the dramatic possibilities of several of the principals of the show, all of whom deserve much praise. The comedy honors were "copped" by Andrew Trible and Pee Wee Williams, both Washington favorites of long standing. They are received with open arms. By many, it will be remembered that these versatile entertainers made their first appearance in this city several years ago—when Howard, Hiawatha, and Minnehaha (now the S. H. Dudley) were then "mere babies" in the local theatre industry. There was a gorgeous display of artistically tailored costumes—the product of the Irvin C. Miller Costume Co., that were worn by "oodles" of shapley, sharp-looking "chocolate brownns"—all good to lamp off. There were a few pinks, but it is really a "high brown" show. The work of handsomely-gowned Mildred Smallwood as "Chocolate Brown," the cousin of the mythical "Bon Bon Buddy" made a charming appearance and favorably impressed all with here dainty dancing numbers. As a toe dancer, Miss Smallwood stands prominently in a class by herself and her exhibition of this difficult art is by far, the best offering that we have had the pleasure of witnessing for many moons. William Thirll, a somewhat of a reckless, care free dancer of the Russian type, offered, "Dancing Your Sports and Theater Not Sports and Theater Notes Continued on Page 5 The Theaters You Should Patronize HIAWAT Open daily 6 p. m.

William Fountain as John Walton and Lillian Goodner as Mrs. Walton, assisted by Mary Bradford, Mae Crowder, Mildred Poebleborn, Henrietta Loveless, William Thrill, Percy Colston, and Archie Cross, presented an interesting sketch, in which there were many good lines, that brought rounds and rounds of applause from a sympathetic audience. The show is swamped with song hits, which includes, "June Love," "Shoulder," "Don't Forget the Old Folks at Home," "Chocolate Brown," "Snag 'em Blues," "High Brown Ball," and "I've Got a Loving Disposition." The male and female quartettes brought forth much applause and they were recalled many times. This production, though out on the road but a few months, should meet with much success in future engagements, but the urgent necessity of a musical director stands out as paramount. Three different directors and each a member of the show were observed in the orchestra pit. Such arrangements will have a tendency to work considerable hardships upon the personnel of any orchestra that is accustomed to working under ordinary conditions. tes Continued on Page 5 The Howard Theatre, 7th and T.

My reason for |this advice is based on the fact that |1 as the donor of the Central Coli- |seum, free of charge, for this benefit, made such a gift (which hall rents for $300 per night) with the intention that the proceeds from such an affair, f there would be any, be turned over to Carrie Johnson without mincing or quibbling. Last January while in conversation with one of your members, I learned that your club intended and wished to give a fashion show and dance for the benefit of charity, to be more specific, | the seventh division of the Associated | Charities, at the Dunbar High School. However, you were experiencing some |difficulty in securing a date there. It was about this time that Carrie Johnson, a vietim of the riot, had been released on bail from a term itt jail of some 18 months. So I in- formed your member that I would do- nate the Coliseum provided a benefit for Carrie Johnson was given, the pro- ceeds of which were to be turned over to her. | I did this because I felt that hers ed a worthy cause and any person who had spent 18 months in jail need. ‘ed money, however small or however large. This member came to you with ‘my offer, forthwith, you investigated through your repregentative, Dr. Wm. Hipeviileas ha oper iicteatare of ‘staging such a benefit. Dr. Wilson ‘returned to you without having as ‘yet consulted me in reference to the ‘hall and informed you that there was some element of doubt relative to. certain phases of the donation by me_ of this hall, It was at this time that I wrote you a letter officially giving you the| use of the Central Coliseum for the aforesaid purpose. You answered my letter with thanks and commendation for such an act. You or rather your committee called me in to meet them and give them advice as to the adver- tiseement and promotion of this large undertaking. I willingly and freely gave my ser- viees. Little did I think that such a stir was to be made about the dis: position of the receipts from an af- fair which I had made possible by| allowing you the use of the Coliseum and naming the benefit for which: it would be given. Had I known then that such @ stir as this was going-to be made, I could have ill afforded to have made ‘such a donation and would | not have done so. | ‘Therefore, the advice I give is to turn over the money in full, which all of us have helped to raise to give and_ to help one who suffered the pangs of jail for 18 months as the result of an unfortunate circumstance. In the second place, you asked for eriticism. In answer to that appeal, I SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 have little to say as any right think- ‘ing person will know what criticism to make of a group of persons who raised a sum of money for somebody ‘else and afterwards were reluctant | about turning it over to that person only in the way they see fit, when pre- ‘viously they had been told the man- ‘ner in which the money should be re- “leased. _ Your last appeal is for general ‘opinions. I will reduce mine to speci- ‘fie opinion since neither time or de- sire permit me to gather the attitude of hundreds of others who contribu- ‘ted to the success of that noble pro- ject. My opinion is that you have done an injustice to the public and me in appointing yourselves as éusto- dians of a fund which I thought you intended to turn over to Carrie John- ‘son for her needs and benefit, sinee you acepted my gift of the Coliseum ‘without a whimper. _ Furthermore, what opinion but one can be rightly expresstd, namely, that ‘you give this money without reserva- tions to Carrie Johnson. In conelusion, I wish to express my gratitude to the Pollyannas for their labors in raising such a sum and to remind them: that the labors of many others not members of their club were given absolutely free for this cause. Another question which arises in my mind is what right or reason have the Pollyannas to hold this money? Allow me to recall the fact that the Pollyannas advertised to the public that they were staging this affair “to ‘give material aid to Carire Johnson,” a victim of the recent riot and not for “the Carrie Johnson legal fund” as the article states, Respectfully yours, CHARLES B.

AFTER THE GAME BEAT IT OVER TO , Wilson & Bernard’s 1906 7th St., N. W. Sandwiches and Soft Drinks of all Kinds 6 Under the heading, "The Rising Tide of Color," Mr. Charles W. Dahlinger, white, gives in The Competitor for June a splendid and unbiased running account of the black man's rise in recent years. Referring to Lathrop Stoddard's book on "The Rising Tide of Color," Mr. Dahlinger tells us that it treats of the advance in self-importance of the non-white races, and of the peril to the white race resulting therefrom. He adds: "While the chapter on the black race can have no effect on any fair-minded person in the United States, it may, however, influence those who are naturally prejudiced against Negroes." According to Mr. Dahlinger: "The tide of color had been steadily rising in the United States many years before Marcus Garvey's scheme for a Negro millennium was thought of. In 1917 the Interior Department reported that 'no other racial group in the country shows better adjustment in relation to the white natives than the more than ten million Negroes. In fifty years illiteracy has decreased from 90 to 30 per cent. One million Negroes are now farmers, either as renters or owners, and a fourth of them own more than twenty millions of acres of land. There are fifty thousand Negroes in the South in business or professional pursuits, such as banking, law, medicine, and other lines than farming. They own more than a hundred banks.' "The World War has caused a still further advancement, but there is no reason for believing that any anti-white sentiment has come for it. While the Negroes of the United States are naturally elated at the splendid manner in which the men of their color conduct themselves in Europe while fighting in armies of this country, their rise was mainly in peaceful pursuits. Their material prosperity has increased many fold. Many of their race have risen to honorable positions, not only in the learned professions, but in industry and the mechanic arts as well." CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By W. H. A. Moore (By the Associated Negro Press) Two Negroes were hanged in the city of Chicago not long since. They were charged, tried and convicted for murder. The victim was a white sailor who was killed during a street fracas following the burning of a flag as part of a ceremony held at the end of a street parade in which the two men hanged were participants. Two very foolish men. They called themselves Abyssinians. More foolishness. They were fostering an organization which had for its object the liberation of Africa from the thraldom of the white man. Still more foolishness. And yet the feeling for freedom is not mere foolishness although at times it may be foolishly expressed. It must be admitted that the burning of a nation's emblem by these two unfortunate stresses a situation to tragic propositions that had, in its beginning, decidedly comic opera aspects. But why this tragedy and travesty? A Negro policeman was about to put an end to the unseemly spectacle by arresting the principals when the zealous sailor stepped to the fore and was promptly shot for his pains. His was a yelp of the hysteria which is gripping at the very vitals of the nation. A sort of wavering perspective of life view that is bringing us dire situations of life conduct from all the points of the national compass It is not pessimism to contend that the American social order is an unhealthy social organ. Neither is it unpatriotic to assert that the perpetuity of American institutions does not depend on hanging deluded creatures for burning the nation's emblem and killing individuals who may chance to interfere with the program. Peonage and murder are punished with life imprisonment; lynching is tolerated and goes unpunished; ignorance is maintained among a considerable number of Americans with a temper of detail that stands astounding in its nakedness. This is the background of the Chicago hanging. It is the outline of these untoward refractions of purpose which create contempt for the flag and disbelief in the government among the weaker minded of the nation's elements. But this condition must not deter us from doing our utmost to make the world truly safe for Democracy. Let The Tribune accompany you on your vacation. Send it to your friend or relative.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 PICKUPS FROM CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES The fourteenth amendment was used as a "constitutional grenade" during the debates held on the bill (H.R.7294), being a bill supplemental to the national prohibition act. During the consideraton of the bill, Mr. Mills, of New York, interrupted Mr. Tillman, of Arkansas, to inquire about the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment. Mr. Tillman replied that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution is enforced at least in the State of Arkansas. "One reason," continued Mr. Tillman, "why the South is for prohibition is because fake doctors have prescribed gin and beer and certain patent medicines for the Negroes, and these Negroes, inflamed by these liquors, sometimes commit the awful crime of rape, for which they are sometimes hanged in the South; a fact that we all deplore." Burke Cockran, of New York, speaking on the same bill said: "The late James C. Carter has held that no law had any force unless it embodied a custom created by men in their daily doings. The instances that Mr. Carter gave were, first, the absolute failure of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to secure the right of suffrage to the Negroes in the Southern States. These amendments were supported vigorously by the Federal and State Governments, by the army and the navy, by the Supreme Court, and a powerful newspaper press. "Yet they failed. They are today dead letters because the public opinion of those States regarded the enforcement of them as incompatible with civilized conditions. And it is a fact today of which Southern men may be proud, that they violated these constitutional amendments and excluded human beings who were unfit for the suffrage from the exercise of it, and by that act raised Negroes in the South to a degree of prosperity they do not approach in the North. In the North we let them vote but we do not let them work. "In the South they are not allowed to vote, but they are allowed to work. And, thank heaven, the Negro, reduced to a choice between living where he could vote and living where he could work, has elected for work. He has quadrupled in the South. He is acquiring property there and attaining a position that could not have been anticipated or even conceived of a few years ago. That impressive result was achieved through resolute and persistent violation of two constitutional amendments, of the civil rights act, of all the laws that were passed during the period of Reconstruction, nullification of which was the salvation of the South and, I think, a tremendous contribution to the welfare of the whole country. Yet gentlemen of the South are vehement now in declaring that because this is a constitutional amendment it must be observed." BEING COLORED (By William Pickens, the Associated Negro Press). Now and then we read after some paper or person who accuses the colored American of "not wanting to be a Negro" or of being "ashamed of his race." How can we show such a person that often what appears as dissatisfaction with one's color or race, is really a dissatisfaction with the CONDITION of one's color or race? One may seem to be seeking another color when he is only seeking a better chance. Black as a color is just as popular in the world as white, but black men have more inconveniences artificially created for them in white-controlled countries. It is no more discreditable to colored people that some of them want to escape the inconveniences of being colored, than it is to white people that some of them want to appropriate and arrogate to themselves extra privileges and advantages BECAUSE they are white and for no other reason. Colored people are not in reality trying to escape being black, but they are trying to escape the unnatural and, in America, terrible consequences of being black. As long as colored Americans are lynched, Jim Crowed, disfranchised and robbed, there will be a tendency in at least some of them to escape these dangrs even at the risk of losing their racial connections. That means only that colored people are human. The only thing to be wondered at is, that this tendency is not stronger. Many times in America, have honest-minded white people expressed to the writer surprise that tens and tens of thousands of perfectly white Negroes 'do not avail themselves of their easy opportunity to pass over into the white group, which they could do by simply changing their geographical location. The marvel is that the great majority of these people do not "try to escape their race," or rather to es- cape from what is NOT their race into what IS their race, for hundreds of thousands of them are far more than fifty per cent Caucasian, even Anglo-Saxon. We will be blaming the Negro for being human, unless we think ourselves into a like situation where we can feel how human it is. When the race riots were raging in Chicago, one white family who lived in a section surrounded by Negroes, blackened their faces and endeavored to escape from that section. They were not as ashamed to be white; they were (temporarily at least) afraid to be white. They were not trying to escape from "their race," they were trying to escape from death. Would it not be mean to accuse them of being "ashamed of their race". because they were trying for another and entirely sufficient reason to look and act like Negroes? We might as reasonably accuse those white fugitives of not wanting to be white, as to accuse colored folk who try to escape lynching and insult, of not wanting to be black. WEEKLY EDITORIAL DIGEST HARDING ADMINISTRATION HAS NOT MADE GOOD The Press has not forgotten the National Committee meeting in June, nor is it satisfied with the appointment of "Link" Johnson. Some of them feel that a better POSITION for the WHOLE RACE is far more desirable than a few measley jobs for individuals. The editors are outspoken and clear in their demand for better administration of the laws; the offering of equal opportunities; the recognition of the race as an integral factor in the body politic. "The laws belong to us. They have been withheld too long. And it is not even a reasonable demand to ask us to give up position in exchange for what is justly ours—position or no position. "The Courier subscribes to the theory that a better POSITION for the whole race is more to be desired than a few appointments which affect only a deserving few. The whole group can not be asked to suffer longer the unjust oppressions just because a few have been favored with an appointment. Justice is not to be bartered in that fashion. The South should not demand the death of the Negro as its price for participation in a Republican party government. This is wrong in theory and in principle. "Give us relief now." The New York Globe( white) "We shall continue to educate the Negro, or he will rather continue to unceasingly educate himself. "The body of intelligent and self-respecting colored people will continue to grow larger. Discrimination or lawless force will bring about a resistance which will be more difficult to cope with as it grows more and more informed and organized. Injustice or violence will, in fact, be the one thing capable of keeping the Negro at his worst, and of making him for the South the danger it fears he will become. Certain parts of the country may have been able to deal with the Negro in the past outside of justice and courtesy. "They will now find mob law and unconstitutional law duller and weaker weapons. Certain traditions of the treatment of Negroes must pass with the passing of the ignorance and helplessness of the black race." The Denver Star "Now, after 400,000 colored men served in the war 'to make the world safe for democracy' and with the Republican party, to which the colored voter has always been a faithful ally, in complete control of the government, it is infamous that the party leaders should insult the people by giving inferior appointments and it is humiliating to think that colored men will accept such places." The Norfolk Journal and Guide The Norfolk Journal and Guide "We want it distinctly understood and we wish that President Harding might be informed of the fact, that we do not consider that the Afro-American people are indebted to the Republican party, or to the Federal Government, in the least thing whatsoever, and that we regard the patronizing and condescending attitude of either as adding insult to injury." "This nullification of our voice in the affairs of the Republican party in the consideration of a mere sop at the crib of political patronage as doled out at the hands of the President is a part of the program of Chairman Adams, of the National Republican Campaign Committee who in conjunction with Congressman Slemp of Virginia, is working to reconstruct the party's standing in the South, with a view to giving greater importance to the white men-of that section of the country. "If all this be true and if Mr. Johnson is willing to be a party to the program in consideration of an appointment that is entirely unworthy in importance and salary, his former ser- vice to his people and party, then the favorable comment of the press that would otherwise be due him will have to be suspended until such a time as the situation is clarified and the President and Mr. Johnson himself can both be seen in a light that will place them above the hypocritical tactics now being indulged in by the new Chairman." HOWARD UNIVERSITY AND FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL HEADS ATTEND CONFERENCE The most notable conference in Washington in a generation was the unique mass meeting held in the Auditorium of the Interior Department Building at two o'clock, Wednesday, June 29, 1921, at which time President Warren G. Harding, Vice President Calvin Coolidge, Secretary of State Charles. E. Hughes, Sec. of Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of War John W. Weeks, Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby, Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, Postmaster General Will H. Hays, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, General John J. Perkins and his military aide, and six hundred chiefs of bureau were present. Grouped on the platform, with the President as the central figure, were the men who might be expected to inspire awe in the less mighty, if any collection of Americans could. But the importance of that gathering did not have any such effect upon Charles G. Dawes, recently named Director of the Budget, in telling what he hoped could be accomplished in cutting down governmental expenses and increasing administrative efficiency. With all the enthusiasm of a zealot, with high-pitched voice and vigor of gesticulation that at times threatened the welfare of those sitting within range of his arms, he proceeded to unfold his mind. For those who were on hand to get what enjoyment they could out of life in Washington on a torrid day, as well as to profit by what they might hear, the meeting was a huge success. President Harding, smiling, but obviously warm despite his Palm Beach Suit, opened the meeting with a short address. The meeting was called by the President for the purpose of bringing about a period of economy and efficiency in government and was a huge success. The flashing uniforms of the officers of the Army and Navy together with the variegated summer dress of the President, members of the cabinet, and bureau chiefs presented an interesting picture. Undoubtedly wonderful results are to follow from this meeting, the first of its kind to be held in the history of the Nation. The Freedmen's Hospital and Howard University, both of which are under the Interior Department, were represented at the conference by Dr. William A. Warfield, the well known Surgeon-in-Chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Howard University. GEORGETOWN NOTES Mr. William Spencer, one of Georgetown's oldest citizens, was buried from the First Baptist Church Tuesday evening.

And by now his lips had acquired their old curl of scorn. “Tl go, Snowbird,” he said. “Til leave you with your sissy. But I guess you saw what I did to him—tn two minutes.” “I saw. But. you must remember he’s sick. Now go.” “It he's sick, let him stay in bed— and have a wet nurse. Maybe you can be that.” ‘The Uds drooped halfway over her gray eyes, and the slim finger curled more tightly about the trigger. “Oh, I wish I could shoot you, Bert!” she sald. She didn't whisper it, or hiss tt, or hurl {t, or do any of the things most people are supposed to do in moments of violent emotion. She simply said it, and ber moaning was all the clenrer. “gut you can’t, And [ll pound that milk-sop of yours to a jelly every time I see him, [4 think, Snowbird. that you'd want a man.” He started up the trail; and then she did a strange thing. “He's more of a man than you are, right now, Bert,” _she told him. “He'll prove It some day.” Then her arm went about Dan's neck and lifted bis head upon her breast; and in Cranston's plain sight, she ‘bent and kissed him, softly, on ‘the lps. + Cranston's answer was an oath. It Gripped trom bis lips, more polsonous, more malicious than the venom of a snake. His features seemed to tight- en, the dark Itps drew away from his teeth.

And only actions, not other words, could be its payment, Va the volces of his body called to him to Ife still, but the voices of the | spirit, those higher, nobler promptings | from which no man, to the glory of the breed from which he sprung, can | ever quite escape, were stronger yet. | Be tugged upward, straining.

I'll kill bim—" | And he would. There was no filnch- tng In the gray eyes that looked up | to her. She leaned forward, as if to | put the weapon in his hands, but at once’ drew it back. And then a single sob caught at her throat. An fnstant | tater they heard Cranston's laughter | as he vanished around the turn of the | tral, |" For tong minutes the two of them were still. The gir! still held the man’s head upon her breast. The pistol had fallen In the pine needles, and her | nervous hand plucked strangely at the | leaves of a mountain flower. To Dan's eyes, there was something trancelike, (a hint of paralysis and insensibility ‘about her posture. He'had never seen her eyes like this. The light that he had always beheld in them had van- i ‘Their utter darkness startled him. He sat up straight, and her arm that |nad been about his neck felt at her side, He took her hand firmly in his, j and their eyes met. | “We must go home, Snowbird,” he | told her simply. “I'm not so badly | hurt but that T can make tt.” She nodded; but otherwise scarcely seemed to hear. Her eyes still flowed with darkness, And then, before his ‘own eyes, thelr dark pupils began to | contract. The hand he held filled and throbbed with life, and the fingers | closea ‘around his, She leaned toward | him. | “Listen, Dan,” she sald quickly. “You hear¢—didn't you—the last thing that he sald?” “I couldn't help but hear, Snow- bird.” Her other hand sought for his, “Then {f you heard—payment must be made. You see what I mean, Dan. Maybe you can't see, knowing the girls that live on the plains. You were the cause of his saying it, and you must answer—" It seemer to Dan that some stern code of the hills, unwritten except in the hearts of their children, inexorable as night, was speaking through her Ups. This was no personal thing. In |some dim, half-understood way, ft went back to the basic code of life. | “People must fight thelr own fights, up here,” she told him. “The laws | of the courts that the plains people can appeal to are all too far away. There’s no one that can do tt, except you. Not my father. My father can't fight your battles here, if your honor | 1s going to stand. It’s up to you, Dan. | You can't pretend that you didn’t hear |bim, Such as you are, weak and sick | to be beaten to a pulp in two minutes, | you alone will have to make him an- | swer for it. I came to your ald—and now you must come to mine.” | Her fingers no longer clasped his. | Strength had come back to him, and | his fingers closed down until the blood | went out of hers, but she was wholly |anconsclous of the pain. In reallty, | she was conscious of nothing except | the growing flame in bis face. It held | her eyes in pawsfonate fascination. His pupils were contracting to little bright dots in the gray irises. ‘The jaw was setting, as she had never tt be- fore. “Do you think, Snowbird, that you'd even have to ask me?” he demanded. | “Don't you think I understand? And tt won't be in your defense—only my own duty.” “But he is so strong—and you are | 90 weak—" “I won't be so weak forever. I nev- er really cared much about living be- fore. Tl try now, and you'll see— ob, Saowbird, wait and trust me: 1 understand everything.

It's my honor, 00 one else's, that stands or falls.” He lifted her hand to his lips and | kissed It again and again. And for the first time be saw the tears gathering in her dark eyes. “But you fought here, didn't you, Dan?” Said, Staybe the chance will Dever come for the first of the two; only I'll pray that {t will. Maybe it would be | kinder to you to pray that it wouldn't; yet I pray that it will! Maybe I can | bay that debt only by being always | ready, always watching for a chance to save you from any danger, always trying to protect you. -You didn’t come in time to see the fight I made. Besldes—I lost, and ttle else mat- ters, And that debt to you.can’t be | paid until sometime I fight again—for | you—and win.” He gasped from his | weakness, but went on bravely. “I'll never be able to feel at peace, Snow- | bird, until T'm tested tn the fire before your eyes! I want to show you the | things Cranston said of me are not | true—that my courage will stand the | test. ' “It wouldn't be the same, perhaps, | with an Eastern girl, Other things matter in the valleys. But I see how | it ts here; that there ts only one standard for men and by that stand- |ard they rise or fall, Things in the mountains aré down to the essen- tials.” | He paused and struggled for strength to continue, “And I know | what you sald to him,” he went on. “Half-unconscious as I was, I remem- | ber every word. Each word Just seems | to burn into me, Snowbird, and Til | make every one of them good. You sald I am a better man than he, and sometime it would be proved—and {t's | the truth! Maybe in a month, maybe tna year, T'm not going to dle from | this malady of mine now, Snowbird. Tve got too much to live for—too many debts to pay. In the end, Tl prove your words to him." His eyes grew earnest, and the hard | fre went out of them. “It’s almost as | if you were’ a queen, a real queen of | some great kingdom,” he told her, tremulous with a great awe that was | stealing over him, as a mist steals over | water, “And because I had kissed | your fingers, for ever and ever I was your subject, living only to fight your | fights—maybe with a dream in the |end to kiss your fingers again. When | you bent and kissed me on. that hill- | side—for him to see—it was the same: | that I was sworn to you, and nothing | mattered In my life except the service and love I could give you. And It's | more than you ever dream, Snowbird. It’s all yours, for your battles and | your happiness.” |" ‘The great pines were silent above jthem, shadowed and dark. Perhaps they were listening to an age-old | story, those vows of service and self- gained worth by whfch the race has struggled upward from the darkness. “But I kissed you—once before.” she reminded him, ‘The voice was just a whisper, hardly louder than the |stir of the leaves in the sind. | “But that kiss didn’t count.” he told |her. “Tt wasn't at all the same. 1 |loved you then, I think, but it didn't mean what It did today.” “and what—" she leaned toward him, her eyes full on his, “does It mean now?” “AN that’s worth while tn life, all that matters when everything Is said | that cam be sald, and all ts done that [ean be done. And {t means, please | God, when the debts are paid, that T may have such a kiss again.” | “Not until then.” she told him, | whispering. | “Until then, I make oath that I | won't even ask it, or receive it if you should give It. Tt goes too deep, dear- est—and {t means too much.” | ‘This was thelr pact. Not until the | debts were paid and her word made | good would those lips be his again. | There was no need for further words. | Both of them knew. In the skies, the gray clouds were | gathering swiftly, as always in the | mountains. ‘The raindrops were fall- ing one and one, over the forest. The summer was done, and fall had come {n earnest. | ‘The rains fell unceasingly for seven days: not a downpour but a constant | drizzle that made the distant ridges smoke. The parched earth seemed to | smack ite ps, and little rivulets be- gan to fall and tumble over the beds of the dry streams. All danger of for- est firé was at once removed, and Snowbird was no longer needed as a lookout on old Bald mountain, She went to her own home, her companion back to the valley; and now that his sister had taken his place as house- keeper, Bill had gone down to the lower foothills with a great part of the live stock. Dan spent these rainy days In toll on the hillsides, bullding himself physically so that he might pay bis debts. Tt was no great pleasure, these rainy days. He would have greatly liked to have lingered tn the square mountain house, listening to the quiet murmur of the rain on the roof and watching Snowbird at her household tasks. She could, as her father had said, make @ bisenlt. She could also to forget the little, whispered message that she gave him with his last spoon- ful of medicine, She sald she'd pray for him, and she meant {t too—literal, entreating prayer that could not go un- heard. She was a mountain girl, and her beliefs were those of her ances- tors—simple and true and wholly without affectation, But he hadn't relaxed thereafter. He’knew the time ‘Thad come to make the test. Night ‘after night he would go to bed half- sick from fatigue, but the mornings would find him fresh. And after two weeks, he knew he had passed the erisis and was on the direct road to complete recovery. Sometimes he cut wood in the for est: first the felling of some tall pine, ‘then the trimming and hewing Into two-foot lengths, The blisters came fon is hands, broke and. bled, but ‘finally hardened into eallosities. He earned the most effective stroke to ‘hurl a shower of chips from beneath the blade, His back and lmbs hard- ened from the handling of heavy wood —and theggugh was practically gone. His frame filled out. His face became swarthy from constant exposure, He gained In weight. One cloudy afternoon tn early No- vember found Silas Lennox cutting wood on the ridge behind his house. It was still an open question with him whether he and bis daughter would attempt to winter on the Divige. Dan of course wanted to remain, yet there were certain reasons, some very defl- nite and others extremely vague, why the prospect of the winter in the snow fields did not appeal to the moun- taineer, In the first place, all signs pointed to a hard season. Although the fall had come late, the snows were exceptionally early. ‘The duck flight was completed two weeks before {ts usual time, and the rodents had dug thelr burrows unusually deep. Be- sides, too many months of snow welgh heavily upon the spirit. The wolf packs sing endlessly on the ridges, and many unpleasant things may hap- pen. On previous years, some of the cabins on the ridges below had human occupants; this winter the whole re- gion, for nearly seventy miles across the mountains to the foothills, would be wholly deserted by human beings. Even the ranger station, twelve miles across a steep ridge, would soon be empty. Of course a few ranchers had homes a few miles beyond the river, but the wild cataracts did not freeze in the coldest of seasons, and there were no bridges. Besides, most of the More prosperous farmers wintered in the valleys. Only a few more days would the road be passable for his car; and no time must be lost in mak- ing bis deciston. ‘Once the snows came tn reality, there was nothing to do but stay. Sev- enty miles across the uncharted ridges ‘on snowshoes ts an undertaking for which even a mountaineer has no fondness, It might be the’ wisest thing, after all, to load Snowbird and Dan Into his car and drive down to the valleys, The fall roundup would soon be completed, Bill would return for a few days from the valleys with new equipment to replace the broken light- ing system on the car, and they could avold the bitter cold and snow that Lennox bad known so long. He chopped at @ great log and wondered what would sult him better—the com- fort and safety of the valleys or the rugged glory of the ridges. But at that Instant, the question of whether or not he would winter on the Divide was decided for him. And an instant was all that was needed. For the period of one breath he forgot to be watehful—and a certain drend Spirit that abides much in the forest saw its chance.

Lennox leaped too, in a frenzied effort to save his life; but already the leafy bows, like the tendrils of some great amphibian, had whipped around his legs.

As Thomas Carlyle has said: "Our aim to see what lies dimly at a distance, but the hand." Washington are opportunities for our men in world along many avenues. By careful nine of commercial and industrial endeavors an opportunity to establish a new business Washington is true of every city in this country are living in large numbers. We are opportunities by any means. Practically no limit to what a man can act he will only try. Here are the things he may, read, think, observe—and then do let the man who wishes to prepare for oppose into harness and, if necessary, rebuild his man can do. Hence opportunity is potent of all. All of us have wanted and are looking for Opportunities. The intensity of our nature, the quality of our character, the tenacity of our purpose, are all revealed by the vigor or sloth with which we pursue opportunity. It is one of the most important words in the language. It means much more than chance. Chance comes to us unasked, unexpected, and often undesired, but opportunity is secured only as the result of our desiring, willing and acting. It is a precious golden thing and must be worked for. Men who succeed in business somehow seem never to lack opportunity, while those who fail often complain that opportunity has been denied them. Young men trying to get a start in business should have a clear idea of what opportunity means. They are too prone to think that getting a good start depends upon "pull" or luck. Growth creates opportunity. In a country where business is at a standstill, population not increasing, no fresh capital accumulating, no new wants developing, opportunity cannot flourish. In such a country a fixed amount of business is done, and the demand for the services of men is therefore comparatively fixed—young men are able to get into business only as the older ones drop out. But in a growing country like the United States, where conditions are constantly changing, where inventions are forever improving processes, and where markets are continually widening, business opportunities are so plentiful that we may regard our land as an actualization of the fabled "Eldorado." The vacuum cleaner displaces the broom and builds new fortunes. In a decade the automobile develops the latent love of travel and fresh air, gives rise to an insistent demand for good roads, and creates industries of gigantic proportions. The commercial motor truck brings opportunity to the manufacturer, making him independent of the railroad. The automobile has greatly augmented the value of farm property, and has made it possible for large farms to be operated on a business basis. On account of the rapid changes taking place in the industrial and commercial life of the United States, the great increase in wealth, the consumer's buying power, the broadening of markets, a business man today is surrounded by opportunities much more numerous and attractive than any known to his father. We do not believe in that old hoax that opportunity comes but once. We are of the opinion that opportunity discloses itself to men in proportion to their ability, their will for action, their power of vision, their experience and their knowledge of business. Just so, opportunity is concealed from men in proportion to their slothfulness, their reliance upon others and their passion for imitation. It is a familiar human weakness to think of ourselves as not being in just the right place. Many a country boy feels certain that he could do great things if could only get into a city. We are prone to think that opportunity, like happiness, lies in some distant place, and if we could only get there we should be successful and content. As a matter of fact, the secret of opportunity, like that of happiness, lies in ourselves. No young man who wishes to enter business need travel far to make a start. For him the very best opportunities are at his elbow. Many of our biggest business men got their first training in their home towns or villages, by clerking in a country store, by selling newspapers, by taking subscriptions to magazines, by acting as agents for various kinds of wares. After a young man has discovered opportunity near at home and has profited by it, then he will be fit for the larger opportunities in other places; but as a rule a man's next opportunity lies not far from him. As Thomas Carlyle has said: "Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do clearly what lies at hand." Here in Washington are opportunities for our men to enter the commercial world along many avenues. By carefully considering every line of commercial and industrial endeavor one can readily discern an opportunity to establish a new business. What is true in Washington is true of every city in this country where colored people are living in large numbers. We are not living up to our opportunities by any means. There is practically no limit to what a man can accomplish in business if he will only try. Here are the things he must do work, study, read, think, observe—and then do more work. Therefore, let the man who wishes to prepare for opportunity put his brains into harness and, if necessary, rebuild his character. This any man can do. Hence opportunity is potentially within the reach of all. MISS BURROUGHS TAKES CHARGE OF DINING ROOM AT WHITELAW HOTEL The management of the Dining room and Grotto of the Whitelaw Hotel this week passed into the hands of Miss Nannie Buroughs of the National Training School and will be conducted under her personal supervision as part of her students' regular work in the future. The announcement that Miss Burroughs had taken charge of this department of this popular hotel, met with approval in all quarters. It has long been apparent that a change in the affairs of this department was necessary in order that it may come up to the standard set by the management at the opening.

Opportunity is potentially within ty for over 50 people has not been as popular with the people of Washington as it should have been and much dissatisfaction between the management and the public was permitted to grow, therefore, the choice of Miss Burroughs was a logical and popular one. The first task that confronted Miss Burroughs after she assumed the management was the high task of cleaning up. In her genial way, she, assisted by a corps of ladies, began the stupendous task of making the White-law's kitchen, pantry, grotto and dining room spotless. When visited by a reporter of The Tribune, Miss Burroughs was found hard at work and anxiously looking forward to the opening day. The service in both the dining room and grotto has been suspended until the new management can reorganize and clean everything. In the new order of things, the motto is to be "Service."

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER'S APPEAL IS FRUITLESS HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER'S APPEAL IS FRUITLESS (Continued from Page 1) 1 until 5 and the Colored children would be treated later. 2. That the Chapin-Sacks Corporation has put forth every possible effort to have the above named newspapers make the proper retraction through their columns and thereby relieve the corporation of the responsibility for the authority of said news items, but the same has been denied them at any cost. 3. That the Chapin-Sacks Corporation, as a mark of appreciation and respect for its colored patrons, will refuse from this date to advertise in the Washington Times and the Washington Herald until a retraction of the aforesaid news items has been made satisfactory to the colored public. 4. That the colored persons who have discharged by the Chapin-Sacks Corporation on account of race alone will be immediately re-instated without prejudice. They refused to sign any of the above statements. This virtual approval of discrimination on public grounds, struck home to every thinking colored person in the city and the men selling "Velvet Kind" decided that was too much for them to swallow and as individuals they would show the Company their disapproval by having them remove their cabinets and cease to bring the cream to their places of business, which struck home with the ice cream company for it meant the loss of about 800 gallons of cream per day. In the face of all this evidence, Prof. Charles M. Thomas, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, has accepted employment by the Chapin-Sacks Company to "promote the sale of ice cream among colored people." In this official capacity he called on Dr. Plummer at 3d and H streets, N. W., and said to him: "I see you have changed ice creams." Dr. Plummer asked him what had he to do with that?

BATTERY TUSKYREE INSTITUTE, ALA that I would make some investigation to get the straight of this affair." "Did you put this in after the affair on the white lot?" asked Prof. Thomas. "I do not understand you, sir," said Dr. Plummer. "Well. I have been employed by the Chapin-Sacks Company to promote the sale of ice cream among my pepole throut the South and I will travel as far south as Atlanta in this work," said Prof. Thomas, "but I want to straighten this affair up with the colored druggists here, before I leave on my trip south." Dr. Plummer said that he had already fixed it up and did not need Prof. Thomas's assistance in the matter. In an interview Dr. Plummer said: "Charlie is a smart man and I regret to see him sell his race for a little money. He should set a better example before our children, some of whom he is supposed to instruct." Prof. Thomas also called on Dr. Simmons at the corner of 21st and L streets and was informed that nothing that he could say would be of any service to the Chapin-Sacks Company. It is up to the Chapin-Sacks Company themselves to make restitution and not any colored man in this or any other city. This incident has brought to light the real race men doing business in the city and those who are looking out for the interests of their people. Racial consciousness has been aroused and the brotherly spirit has entered into the matter. The colored people of Washington are realizing that when one of their group is discriminated against, it is an insult to the whole group and it is only a matter of time until all will possibly be subjected to the same prejudice. Therefore, they are ready to fight every act that tends to discriminate. The Tribune is with every man that stands for racial solidarity and racial progress. GIVE US A TRIAL MADAME A. W.
