I, No. 13 POLLYAN MINISTERS TURN DOWN APOLOGY OF CHAPIN-SACKS Record Vote Taken After Two Hours of Debate On the Floor STRENUOUS FIGHT MADE Conference Officials Make Report and then Adjourn Until Fall At the final meeting for the summer of the Baptist Ministers Conference which met at the National Training School for Girls, Monday, the report of the Executive Committee, to accept the apology of the Chapin-Sacks Ice Cream Company for discriminating against colored children on the Ellipse, in April, was rejected by a vote of 32 to 5. Mr. A. A. Chapin appeared in person before this committee about three weeks ago and made a statement concerning the affair. In addition he sent a lengthy statement to the committee; and on Monday, Prof. Charlie Thomas and Mr. David E. Taylor, of the Daily American Bulletin, went before the committee in an endeavor to have the "apology" accepted. However, the Baptist Ministers, led by Rev. Harvey Randolph, spoke in unmistakable terms against accepting the apology. After an hour and a half of discussion, in which the majority of the ministers spoke and placed themselves on record as being straight on the race question and against all kinds of discrimination, the vote was called for and only five members voted for the report while thirty-two registered their disapproval and rejection of the same. By their firm stand the ministers endorsed the position of THE TRIBUNE that the discrimination was intentional and deliberate; because the notices in the daily papers and the signs on the booths corroborated the newspaper notices. The outcome is a great victory for righteous and racial solidarity. The Secretary, Dr. J. I. Loving, and the Treasurer, Dr. W. J. Howard, made their reports, for the year which agreed with each other. The reports showed that $1,156.59 had been collected during the year and $1,093.27 had been disbursed, $417.00 of which was sent to the Tulsa Relief Committee, of Tulsa, Oklahoma. There was a balance of $63.32 on hand. Dr. Howard was given a vote of confidence and thanks for his untiring efforts and trustworthiness in handling the funds of the Conference. Dr. Loving, who has been the Secretary for 28 years, was given a vote of confidence and thanks and a purse of $50.00 for his service. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, has been Chairman of this Conference for the past eight years and his masterly way of organizing and directing men has developed this Conference into one of the most powerful organizations in this city. They have a membership of about 200 ministers. These men are reaching the people each week throughout their various churches and their influence will be felt in their position on any vital subject that may come before the citizens of this city. A part of the time of the Conference was given over to reviewing the year's work and many good features were brought to light. The announcement of the death of Dr. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., was made by Rev. Tyler and a committee No One Hurt at Suburban Gardens Monday R. G. BYARS NO LONGER MANAGER OF DUNBAR AND HIAWATHA INAS DEN No One Hurt R. G. BYARS NO OF DUNBAR A Public announcement is made this week by the Hiawatha Theatre Co. and the Dunbar Theatre Co.' that Mr. Rufus Byars will not serve in the capacity of Manager of these two theatres after August 8th. The reasons for this change are clearly set ATT'Y-GENERAL ASKS REPRIEVE FOR BROWN Attorney General Daugherty sent to President Harding this week, recommendations that the President grant a reprieve for Henry A. Brown, sentenced to be hanged during this month for the death of Miss Harriet Cavannaugh, a nurse at the Naval Academy Hospital. The Attorney General stated that he has come into possession of certain information which forces him to believe that the case should be thoroughly reviewed as a matter of justice. As the President is on his vacation up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, his decision on the recommendation of the Attorney General has been delayed. There are a number of papers in the case for the President to look over. FIRST SIXTY DAYS OF THE SOUTHERN AID On June the 6th, the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, opened its office in this city with Mr. J. Lacy Doss as superintendent and seven men under him as an agency force. They began writing industrial insurance; and for the past sixty dyas have made rapid progress in this city. Beginning with an agency force of seven, after sixty days, the force has increased and about a thousand new members have been added to the rolls in this city. An excellent record for summer work. The Southern Aid has made and is making good with the people of Washington as is testified to by the letter appearing on another page of The Tribune, from Miss Lillie B. Rhodes, 1620 Tenth street, N. W. The Southern Aid Society is a progressive institution and owns more than $300,000 worth of valuable property and is giving employment to more than a thousand men and women of the race. It owns the beautiful four story building on the corner of 7th and T streets, N. W., in which its offices are located. Mr. B. L. Jordan, the Secretary of the Southern Aid, of Richmond, Va., is uniting in his efforts to make the Society the most serviceable one of its type in America. was appointed to draft suitable resolutions for condolence which were sent to the family by Rev. Tyler, who left Tuesday night for Augusta. Dinner was served to the members of the Conference and their wives by the National Training School of which Miss Nannie E. Burroughs is president. The Conference is composed of ministers of both the National Baptist Convention and the Lott Carey Mission Convention and all work together harmoniously. They meet weekly and will resume their weekly program the 12th of September. forth in the printed statement by the owners. For some time there has been much rumor as to Mr. Byars and the Crandall Theatre, and the change made by the Hiawatha and Dunbar leave Mr. Byars in a position free from the embarrassment of his former associates. CLEAN POLITICS AIM OF WOMEN Convention at Kansas City This Month Promises To Be Interesting "The Negro Women's National Republican Convention, called to meet in Kansas City, Mo., August 22-27, 1921, is meeting with popular favor throut the country and it is confidently predicted that this will be one of the most important as well as the largest political gatherings held by colored people since the Emancipation," said Mrs. Monen L. Gray, chairman of the Women's League, when seen at the headquarters by a Tribune reporter. "Many of the leading women of the race will be in attendance and deliver addresses," said Mrs. Gray. Continuing she said: "While this convention has been called for the purpose of making preparations for the Congressional election next year, it will devote a major portion of its time to the working out of some plan or plans to combat, and if possible check, the tide of opposition against colored people. We believe that it is necessary for the women of our race to work in politics, not for the dollar and cents, but for the good of the race, and we would rather contribute to the expense of the National Committee instead of drawing on its treasury." The Negro Women's National Republican League is an incorporated organization of which Mrs. Monen L. Gray is the chairman, with headquarters at 1721 U street N. W. A committee from this League called on the President recently. Mrs. Gray presented her memorial to the President and in reply, among other things, he said: "Your statement covers so much ground; I would like to take it up step by step, but time will not permit. However, I will challenge one statement made by you concerning the dark clouds hovering over the colored race. Why; your race has made greater progress within the fifty years of freedom than any other people in a like time. I know the needs of your race; and will admit that they have not been treated fairly in some sections of this country. "There can be no justice in prejudice. Liberty does not mean there should be prejudice. "Congress is working out plans whereby the colored race will be benefited. No race has reached perfection in one generation. "The white Republicans are kicking as much as the colored Republicans, and they think we are going too slow in making appointments. It takes time. A number of citizens of this country, of foreign birth, have not been recognized in appointment by the Republicans. Do not become impatient." Mrs. Gray has mapped out a comprehensive program for the League and she feels that the colored women of this country are going to teach the men that there is more to be sought in politics than a few paltry jobs. She is looking at the bigger things and possibilities of and for the race. The delegation will leave here about the 20th for Kansas City where the big convention will be held. Crowd Estimated at Seven Thousand Over Taxed Park's Facilities The Suburban Gardens located at 50th Street and Hayes Ave., N. E., on the night of August 1st, was the scene of one of the largest crowds in the history of Washington; it was unofficially estimated that over 7000 people attended. The cause of this large gathering was the announcement of the appearance of the Whitman Sisters in a vaudeville sketch in connection with the regular amusements of this resort. The crowd became so large that the facilities of the park proved inadequate to properly handle it. As early as 7:30 o'clock, the street cars leading to the Gardens were crowded and until a late hour, the crowds continued to pour out to this park. As the show was billed to appear in the ballroom, practically five sixths of the crowd poured into this pavilion. Soon it became a mass of jammed humanity. The crowd became so large that dancing was impossible. Unable to dance, the people became restless while waiting for the show to start. Evidently desiring to have what they probably called some fun, some young men started a little excitement at the extreme front of the hall; one of them with his hat in hand, waved to the crowd in a maner that indicated distress and immediately the people began to run. Because of the presence of mind of a few, a stampede was averted. Not contented with their first effort, some of the men started an excitement on the right side of the hall, near the refreshment counter; again another rush was made for the exits. Becoming alarmed at the apparent danger of such a monster crowd, many people filed out the dance hall, and started for home. The management realizing the situation, made several attempts to clear the stage, so as to start the show and thus settle the crowd. By this time, someone had phoned in to the Central Police station for assistance. About 15 officers were dispatched to the park. No special disorder was found and the officers simply policed the grounds to prevent any possible disorder. They made no arrest whatever. The stage was finally cleared sufficiently to permit the show, but in the rush, the trombone and drum were broken, and the violin was lost, so there was only the piano left. However, the show was started and was enjoyed greatly. No definite reports of disorder on the cars of the Washington Railway and Electric Co., were filed by the conductors according to a statement from company's offices. Every road leading to the Gardens was literally jammed with automobiles and trucks. Thousands of people went to the park in this manner. So great was the crowd at the gates that they were packed about 15 deep for over a block. Five ticket sellers were unable to sell tickets fast enough to get the crowds through the gates and the fence around the entrance gave way, admitting many without charge. The actual sale of tickets was estimated at 5,700. The management of the park expressed regrets for the article appearing in the Washington Post, on Tuesday morning. No one was hurt in the park at all and no arrest was made in the park, as reported. Steps have already been taken by the park officials to have better arrangements installed for the handling of such large crowds. Many other large attractions are booked for the park and ample accommodations are assured the patrons. It is stated that the management will take some steps to have the Post correct the statement they had on the affair. An open letter to the public has (Continued on page 8) DID NOT PROMISE TO TURN OVER ANYTHING, ACCORDING TO ANSWER The sworn answer of the Pollyanna Club signed by its officers, Miss Ruth Savoy, Mrs. Anna Burwell and Miss Adella Parks, was filed Monday in the Municipal Court. In it the officers swear that they did not conduct the charity ball for the benefit of Carrie Johnson and "did not promise that they would turn over to her for her own use or for any purpose, any money realized or collected by or through said entertainment." The case was postponed again last Monday, and by agreement of the counsel, was set for hearing on Thursday, September 15th. This is the third postponement of the case. The answer of the club through their Attorneys, Henry E. Davis, and James A. Cobb, the first one a white man, has caused much speculation since its filing, because the public at the time of the "benefit" believed that it was for the purpose of giving material aid to one Carrie Johnson.

When approached by a Tribune reporter, Attorney Gaskins who is Miss Johnson's representative in the case, had no comment whatever to make other than that he "was shocked at the club's denial." The three points as set out by the defendans' attorneys are: (1) they did not promise as alleged: (2) they are not indebted as alleged: (3) they never were indebted as alleged. The answer as filed in The Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, Monday August 1st, reads as follows: "Carrie Minor Johnson by her next friend, Beulah Wells, Plaintiff, vs. Ruth Savoy, et al, sued as Pollyanna Club, Defendants, at Law, No. A33.

TULSA NEEDS MORE FUNDS One thousand and four hundred claims have been filed against the city and county for property burned the day following the riot. Value of the property burned is neary $5,000,000. Fifty Colored men have been indicted for rioting. The City will not permit the people to rebuild their houses unless they build brick houses. Therefore thousands are living in tents with winter fast approaching. About $4000 has been raised by the Colored Citizens Relief Committee and the N. A. C. P.

"Why Theatres Owned and Operated by Our People Should Be Supported" (By Salter J. Cochran) An enterprise that tends to promote the interest of the community and at the same time furnish amusement and education is truly worthy of support. The things that vitally concern us, whose merits are not questioned and whose fundamental principles are based on the sound judgement of our people are the most useful for us. In all living things there must be a certain unity, a principle of vitality and growth. It is so with the theatres owned and operated by our people, and the more complete and clear this unity the more vigorous and fruitful the growth. We are fully aware of the high standards of our theatres and the influence they exert on the community. They are a business like any other and have to pay in the material sense in order to live. They play on the minds and consciences of men. They may educate, stimulate, assist, or may do the opposite. They have, therefore, a moral as well as material existence and their character and influence are determined by the balance of these two forces plus our support. They may make profit or power their first object, or they may conceive themselves as fulfilling a higher and more exacting function. Truly the character of our theatrical promoters is unblemished. Character is a subtle affair and has many sides and shades to it. It is a thing to be felt; it represents the deposits of our past actions and ideals; it is for each of us our most precious possession and so it is for that latest enterprise, the theatre. Fundamentally the theatre considers honesty and fairness a sense of duty to its supporters and the community. Primarily the theatre is a necessity. No enterprise possesses the influence for good or for evil, and holds such a prominent place in the development of our future generations than does the theatre and with our support it can do a great good. The power for effectiveness and far reaching effect has long since taken its place in the scientific world. It represents the dawning of a new day for our people and plays the part of a philanthropist in that it offers lucrative employment to some, and to others a chance to win fame. Teo little emphasis is placed on the conservative opinion of our people with respect to the genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of affairs that concern us. We are infinitely more capable of culling out the things that are of no interest to us than any one else. If our interest in self and race is commensurate with our attitude and interest toward our other enterprises, then it is our duty as individual standard bearers of our race, to uphold the integrity of our race by supporting the theaters operated by our people. The rewards of life are for service. Human service is the highest form of self interest; it is a movement in the line of self preservation. No better service can be rendered the race as a whole than the support of its enterprise—the theatre. Service and support go hand in hand. We cannot afford to sacrifice our race pride. (By William A. Bethel) One of the many reasons why we should support theatres that are owned and operated by our people is, because it is one of the many undertakings the Negro has accomplished successfully since the days of slavery. Having enough race pride within ourselves to appreciate the efforts that are being put forth by those who are endeavoring to entertain us, is another reason why we should support our theatres. Not only would our patronage show race pride, but it would give the theatres the financial support that is necessary for their maintenance, and give the public the best accommodations in every respect. If the theatres owned by our people could get one half of the support that the white theatres get from our people, plus what they already obtain, there would be no need to impress upon the minds of the people, the reason they should support our theatres. With this support they could build enough theatres to accommodate all of our people without them going to the white theatres where they are segregated, jim crowed, and given the poorest accommodations possible. It would also offer an opportunity for the people to invest in these theatres, and reap some benefits from their investments. We should endeavor to keep our money circulating among our people as much as possible, and the theatres are one of the mediums through which we could do this. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1921 If each one of us who are doing our best to support our theatres would impress upon the minds of our people who do not believe in racial patronage to the extent of patronizing our theatres there would be no need to fear when other promoters seek to invade among our people. (By Henry C. Nelson) (Age 15) Our race should support theaters owned by their people for many reasons. (1) If they support these theatres it will enable them to build more. (2) They are members of our race and we should do all we can to help these men to run their theaters. (3) Every theater built and owned by a race man helps the colored people, and by supporting these theatres we are helping ourselves. (4) If there is union, there is strength. If our people continue to help these theaters by their support we will have a chain of theatres like the large down town movie houses. These theatres owned by race men are not only for their benefit but every Afro-American Citizen in the world. For an instance take the Dunbar Theater one of the finest movie houses in the country with every modern improvement that a theater could have. I am in every way doing all I can to help and to support the theaters owned by our race, and I am also encouraging all the boys and girls I see at the little five cent theaters to come and attend decent and respectable theaters which are owned by their race. The following theaters are owned by our people and they are the ones we should attend, The Dunbar, Jewel, S. H. Dudley, Mid-City, Hiawatha, Florida Theatre, Blue Mouse and the Foraker. All of these are owned by race men. If any person or persons have not been supporting these race theatres now is the time to start for they need your support as well as the other faithful few who are supporting them. (By H. E. Wilson) The management of a theatre is a business venture and cannot thrive unless the public says it can. Colored patrons, engendered with race pride, should heed this, spend their money in play houses built and managed by members of their race so as to make it possible for the Colored acting fraternity to have race owned theatres where they can go and give their performances exclusively to Colored audiences. To support Colored theatres by members of that race means that money taken in at the box office goes back again into the pockets of Colored managers and owners, enabling them from time to time to improve facilities and give their patrons the same high classed entertainment denied them at similar places of amusement owned and managed by the opposite race. Another reason why Colored theatres should be supported by Colored people is to make it possible for the stock holders, if it be a corporation to get a safe return for money invested and to encourage other similar business concerns, contemplating being launched, to make the start. Play houses operated by Colored capital give employment to Colored musicians, ushers and others who comprise the working staff. These avenues are closed to the Colored brother in like recreational centers controlled by the whites. No flow of language, no matter how beautifully expressed, can describe the intrinsically set pleasure that comes to those who avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy the treat felt, when Colored performances are being played in theatres under Colored management before Colored audiences. White theatre syndicates that invade Colored communities and turn such enterprises over to the Colored merely to manage are simply financial traps set by white theatre interests to catch those stray dollars spent by Colored people for that purpose. Support the Colored theatre, so it can live and drive from your locality all commercial parasites of this kind. The Colored theatre fills in the long standing gap of social ostracism made by the white theatre operators in the way of discrimination against Colored theatre goers and a race enterprise of this nature is the only weapon that will eventually wipe out this feature of segregation, bring white theatre managers to their senses and show there is enough race pride among Colored people not to go where they are not wanted. Read with Your Mind There is danger that reading will become a lost art, because of the immense number of books, magazines and newspapers. Real reading is an art, and it must be learned by conscious effort. No one can get anything worth while out of a book or newspaper unless while reading it with the eyes the mind works just as did the author's mind when he wrote the book or article. Reading done for the purpose of training the understanding, must be done by the mind itself. It might help if you try to do some thinking yourself on the subject of the book or article in hand. You might ask yourself, "What do I know about this subject anyway? What would I like to know about it? If I had to write on the subject, how would I treat it, and on what topics or paragraphs would I place special emphasis?" The value of this preparatory work, which may occupy five minutes or an hour, perhaps longer, is that it will tend to get your mind into working harness. It will also stir your curiosity or interest in the subject. Now we come to "Concentration." We mentally concentrate when we focus our powers of mind upon any one that or problem. The man who has a very retentive memory sometimes relies upon it too much, failing to make use of his judgement or imagination. Such a man in business is likely to be a mere imitator, and may never become a success because of his failure to take advantage of new conditions. He who uses memory merely as an aid to judgement and imagination concentrates, and he is the man who achieves real success in business. Success in business comes only to those who work hard and do clear thinking. Therefore, reading with your mind entails a degree of thinking and thinking is not an idle, lazy, passive mental occupation. It is very strenuous work. The aim of thinking is understanding. The mind is looking for an explanation of something that it does not understand. When do we understand anything? Not until we know precisely what is its cause. The Steel Corporation The United States Steel Corporation is the leading business organization of the world. It his over 250,000 employees, a yearly payroll of $480,000,000, the average daily pay per employee being $6.17. Its volume of business averages $1,500,000,000 a year. Its property assets equal more than $1,900,000,000. These include 800,000 coal property, 23,000 coke ovens, 1,600 miles of railroad, 59,000 freight and passenger cars and steam locomotives and 356 steam ships and barges. A New Laundry Could you imagine a city of 115,000 people without a laundry? Such is the condition of the colored people of Washington. Not a single steam laundry in the city owned by colored people. The establishing of a laundry plant does not require such a big outlay of capital. The location on a prominent street is not absolutely necessary. Five thousand dollars would equip a first class laundry capable of handling the patronage for at least two years. Securing a competent manager would be an important factor but not an impossibility; for there are a number of our men who are filling those positions and would readily go with a race concern. Efficient and dependable help can readily be secured. Therefore, what is hindering the colored people of Washington from having a laundry? Nothing but the lack of 'someone with the courage to inaugurate the proposition and with persistence enough to see that a real plant is installed. Who will take the initiative? The Tribune is with the man or set of men that will start the ball rolling. The addition of a steam laundry to our list of establishments here would be a commendable and profitable one. It would add to the aggregate volume of business. It would add a new line of endeavor in this city. It would open a new channel for constructive use of our idle capital. It would give employment to a number of our men and women and thereby assist in de- If you are "red blooded" and a hundred, per cent racial in spirit, you will examine each personal inclination you have, see in which path duty directs it and be found each time you visit a theatre, in one, where perfect freedom is guaranteed you and "the owner of the service," yours. finitely establishing racial consciousness. Let's have a laundry. BANKS AND BURWELL On November 30, 1916, the present drug firm of Banks and Burwell opened their doors for business, in the Pythian Temple building on the corner of 12th and U Streets, N. W. The proprietors of this fast growing drug store are First Lieutenant R. E. Banks and A. C. Burwell, both registered Pharmacists, having graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. They are both young men and have been friends since childhood. Lieut. Banks won his rank in the Officers' Training Camp at Des Moines, Iowa, in 1917. He served thru the World War with distinction and returned to his former business upon being honorably discharged. Dr. Burwell is President of the local Druggists Association. Banks and Burwell are live wires in the commercial life of Washington. They are also alive to the race's welfare and are ever ready to promote its racial consciousness and establish its confidence. When the colored children were discriminated against on the Ellipse, in April, by the Chapin-Sacks Ice Cream Company in the distribution of ice cream, Banks and Burwell were the first druggists to resent this insult by kicking out the cabinets of the company and installing Fussell's cream. They said: "An insult to the children of our race, is an insult to us and we will not permit any firm to insult our race but that we will cease to handle their product." This was a manly stand and is an insight as to one of the contributing cause of their success in business. Banks and Burwell are alive to the manufacturing department of their business and are preparing to place some of their own manufactured articles upon the market. Watch for their advertisements in September. The new company that was recently organized under the name of "The Douglass-Wheatley Candy Company" and putting out the best "chocolates" in the city, is an offshoot of this live wire firm. Pullman Porter Tips By Quentin Williams In my jaunt across the Continent a few things I noticed: That prejudice is greatly on the increase in the West. That Indians are able to fleece the pale face especially in selling them so-called Indian curios (that are made in eastern factories and shipped west and sold on a percentage basis). Plenty of work for women, but rather scarce for men; for jobs that usually are filled by us, Japs and Mexicans have them. That better houses are owned and occupied by the race in Chicago than in any other city in the country. That New York is greatly congested, and there is a large increase in the West Indian population. Places of business about the same all over; restaurants, pool rooms, shoe shining parlors, theatres, cabarets and a few hotels. While not as a whole well conducted, you find far superior service in the hotels in the West that are operated by Japs.

HARDING PAYS TRIBUTE TO FALLEN HERO OF WORLD WAR Among the 130 bodies of our Sea Soldiers consigned to Arlington National Cemetery for burial July, 28th was private Kenneth Lewis, Colored of the Medical Department 372nd Infantry, who died in France August 2, 1918. Young Lewis was a student in the Dunbar High School at Washington, D. C., and only 17 years old, when enlisted. He was in the 92nd Division comprising the famous 370th Illinois Infantry, the 367th Buffalo Infantry the 371st and 372nd Infantries, all of whom were decorated and cited for bravery. Lewis was killed at his post by hand grenades. He was decorated posthumously twice. He won the Croix de Guerre, with palm and medaille militaire, the latter a distinguished recognition in the French Army. He was buried with militray honors, accompanied by comrades of the James Reese Europe and the James E. Walker Posts of the American Legion under command of Captains A. C.

Henry their new pitcher held them down to 5 hits. They have defeated all teams in Washington except the Georgetown Athletics and are ready to meet them at any time, anywhere. The team is noted for its strong batters. No opposing pitcher has been able to stop the willows. For games, apply R. Clark, Brightwood, D. C. SPORT GOSSIP By Quentin Williams Damon Runyon the New York sport writer says an ideal middleweight match would be between Johnny Wilson and Panama Joe Gans the Barbados fighter. Gans recently used George Robinson for a punching bag and this same Robinson knocked the Champion down in a fight in Boston a few weeks ago. So, as Runyon says, I think fur would surely fly if the Champion and Gans ever meet. Leo Flyn, Gans' manager, says if Wilson will fight he can have thirty thousand dollars for his end of the purse. Gans holds-the title of colored middleweight champion and diamond studded belt awarded him by Tex Rickard and he has also been very successful in recent fights having knocked out Jack Stone on the Fourth of July. REX DEFEAT GIANTS IN TEN INNING GAME The famous Boswell brothers battery were defeated at Union League Park last Sunday by the Rex, one of the strongest white teams in the city. They had to go ten innings to take the long end of the ten to nine score against the Washington Giants. Altho out hitting the Rex men fourteen to twelve, the wildness of Otto Boswell who passed eight and hit one (five of which caused runs) permitted the Rex's to get ahead. With Boswell in form, the Giants could easily defeat the Rex. It was a very interesting game all the way; first one team then the other in the lead. Captain Barbour "Fish" used pinch hitters Scott, Mose, Greenfield to an advantage in the seventh, each hitting and causing runs. Next Sunday the Washington Giants take on the Leesburgh Giants, one of the fastest teams in Northern Virginia, at Union League Park.

To The Public For the information of the public who so generously patronized the Midnight Show at Howard Theatre, July 15, with the understanding that they would witness a wrestling match between Theodore Peters and Eugene Jackson, and who were greatly disappointed is not seeing that match, we wish to state that the promoter, Mr. Fred. R. Byrd offered Peters $25 to wrestle; but when Peters put in his appearance Byrd stated that he could "PROBABLY GIVE HIM $10." This was not satisfactory to Peters and he refused to wrestle. Had Mr. Byrd respected his Contract the public would have seen a splendid match. The statement that Peters refused for any other reason is absolutely untrue. Peters stands ready to meet Eugene Jackson at any time. (Signed) Harry W. Peters, Jeweler, 1712 7th St., N.W.

Murray, President The Voice of the Pack (Copyright 1920, Little, Brown & Company) In the little town of Gittchenpolis small Dan Falling dreams beyish dreams, tincured with melancholy over his supposed physical weakness. There, years later, he meets Destiny. BOOK I—REINITATION CHAPTER L—Warned by his physician that he has not more than six months to live. Falling sits despondently on a park bench, wondering where he should spend those six months. A friendly squirrel practically decides the matter for him. His blood is pioneer blood, and he decides to end his days in the forests of Oregon. Memories of his grandfather and a deep love lie in the wild help him reaching a decision. CHAPTER I.—In a large southern Oregon city he meets people who had known and loved his grandfather, a famous frontman. He makes his home with Willis Lennox, a typical westerner. The only other members of the household are Lennox's son, "Bill," and daughter, "Sarah." She is known from "divertization," in the Umpqua divide, and there Falling plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told is his. His extreme weakness in the face of even a slight exertion convinces him that the doctor had made a correct diagnosis of CHAPTER III.—From the first Failing health shows a marked improvement, and in the companionship of Lennox and his son and daughter he fits into the woods life as if he had been born to it. By quick thinking and a remarkable display of "nerve" he saves Lennox's life and his sense. When they are attacked by a mad oyster man he is rewarded by an earnation of his grandfather, Dan Falling I, whose fame as a woodsman is a household word. BOOK TWO—THE DEBT. CHAPTER I L—Dan, now thoroughly proficient in woods lore, learns from Lenox 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 head. Cranston, however, overlooked the fact that he would 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. CHAPTER II A cougar, on a personal hunting expedition, finds Hildreth in a ticker where he had crawled after being shot by Cranston. The cougar finishes Cranston's work, and in striking down man becomes a forest outlaw. Falling, on his way home from a visit to "Snowbird" a lookout station, comes upon Cranston in the act of starting a forest fire. The man quarrel and fight. Falling is no match for the study mountainer and is saved by Cranston with by driving the outlaw from his victim by threatening him with a revolver. "ir I were in one piece." Lennox answered him very quietly, "instead of a bundle of broken bones that can't lift its arms, I'd get up off this couch, unarmed as I am, and stamp on your lying lips." But Craston only laughed and tied Lennox's feet with a cord from the window shade. He went to work very systematically. First he rifled Lennox's desk in the living room. Then he looked on all the mantels and ransacked the cupboards and the drawers. He was taunting and calm at first. But as the moments passed, his passion grew upon him. He no longer smiled. The rodent features became intent; the eyes narrowed to curious, bright slits under the dark lashes. He went to Dan's room, searched his bureau drawer and all the pockets of the clothes hanging in his closet. He upset his trunk and pawed among old letters in the suitcase. Then, stealing like some creature of the wilderness, he came back to the living room. Lennox was not on the divan where he had left him. He lay instead on the floor near the fireplace; and he met the passion-drawn face with entire calmness. His motives were perfectly plain. He had just made a desperate effort to procure Dan's rifle that hung on two sets of deer horns over the fireplace, and was entirely exhausted from it. He had succeeded in getting down from the couch, though wracked by agony, but had been unable to lift himself up in reach of the gun. Cranston read his intention in one glance. Lennox knew it, but he simply didn't care. He had passed the point where anything seemed to matter. "Tell me where it is," Cranston ordered him. Again he pointed his rifle at Lennox's wasted breast. "Tell you where what is? My money?" "You know what I want—and it isn't money. I mean those letters that Failing found on the ridge. I'm through fooling, Lennox. Dan learned that long ago, and it's time you learned it now." "Dan learned it because he was sick. He isn't sick now. Don't presume too much on that." Cranston laughed with harsh scorn. "But that isn't the question. I said I've wasted all the time I'm going to. You are an old man and helpless; but I'm not going to let that stand in the way of getting what I came to get. They're hidden somewhere around this house. I've watched, and he's had no chance to take them into town. I'll give you—just five seconds to tell me where they're hidden." "And I give you," Lennox replied, "one second less than that—to go to h—ll!" Both of them breathed hard in the quiet room. Cranston was trembling now, shivering just a little in his arms and shoulders. "Don't get me wrong, Lennox," he warned. "And don't have any delusions in regard to me, either," Lennox replied. "I've stood worse pain from this acclent than any man can give me while I yet live, no matter what he does. If you want to get on me and hammer me in the approved Cranston way, I can't defend myself—but you won't get a civil answer out of me. I'm used to pain, and I can stand it. I'm not used to fawning to a coyote like you, and I can't stand it." But Cranston hardly heard. An idea had fanned in his mind and cast a red glamor over all the scene about him. It was instilling a poison in his nerves and a madness in his blood, and it was searing him, like fire, in his dark brain. Nothing seemed real. He suddenly bent forward, tense. "That's all right about you," he said. "But you'd be a little more polite if it was Snowbird—and Dan—that would have to pay." Perhaps the color faded slightly in Lennox's face; but his voice did not change. "They'll see your footprints before they come in and be ready," Lennox replied evenly. "They always come in by the back way. And even with a pistol, Snowbird's a match for you." "Did you think that was what I meant?" Cranston scorned. "I know a way to destroy those letters, and I'll do it—in the four seconds that I said, unless you tell. I'm not even sure I'm goin' to give you a chance to tell now; it's too good a scheme. There won't be any witnesses then to yell around in the courts. What if I choose to set fire to this house?" "It wouldn't surprise me a great deal. It's your own trade." Lennox shuddered once on his place on the floor. "I wouldn't have to worry about those letters then," would I? They are somewhere in the house, and they'd be burned to ashes. But that isn't all that would be burned. You could maybe be crawl out, but you couldn't carry the guns, and you couldn't carry the pantry full of food. You're nearly eighty miles up here from the nearest occupied house, with two pair of snowshoes for the three of you and one dinky pistol. And you can't walk at all. It would be a nice pickle, wouldn't it? Wouldn't you have a fat chance of getting down to civilization?" The voice no longer held steady. It trembled with passion. This was no idle threat. The brain had already seized upon the scheme with every intention of carrying it out. The wilderness lay stark and bare, stripped of all delusion—not only in the snow world outside but in the hearts of these two men, its sons. "I have only one hope," Lennox replied. "I hope, unknown to me, that Dan has already dispatched those letters. The arm of the law is long, Cranston. It's easy to forget that fact up here. It will reach you in the end." Cranston turned through the door, into the kitchen. He was gone a long time. Lennox heard him at work; the crinkle of paper and then a pouring sound around the walls. Then he heard the sharp crack of a match. An instant later the first wisp of smoke came curling, pungent with burning oil, through the corridor. "You crawled from your couch to reach that gun," Cranston told him when he came in. "Let's see you crawl out now." Lennox's answer was a curse—the last, dread outpouring of an unbroken will. He didn't look again at the glittering eyes. He scarcely watched Cranston's further preparations? the oil poured on the rugs and furnishings, the kindling placed at the base of the curtains. Cranston was trained in this work. He was taking no chances on the fire being extinguished. And Lennox began to crawl toward the door. He managed to grasp the corner of the blanket on the divan as he went, and he dragged it behind him. Palm wracked him, and smoke half-blinded him. But he made it at last. And by the time he had crawled one hundred feet over the snow crust the whole structure was in flames. The red tongues spoke with a roar. Cranston, the fire-madness on his face, hurried to the outbuildings. There he repeated the work. He touched a match to the hay in the barn, and the wind flung the flame through it in an instant. The sheds and other outbuildings were treated with oil. And seeing that his work was done, he called once to the prone A man with a hat and a stick walks away from a fire.

Two miles across the ridges, Dan and Snowbird saw a faint mist blowing between the trees. They didn't recognize it at first. It might be fine snow, blown by the wind, or even one of those mysterious fogs that sometimes sweep over the snow. "But it looks like smoke," Snowbird said. "But it couldn't be. The trees are too wet to burn." But then a sound that at first was just the faltest whisper in which neither of them would let themselves believe, became distinct past all denying. It was that menacing crackle of a great fire, that in the whole world of sounds is perhaps the most terrible. "It's our house," Snowbird told him. "And father can't get out." She spoke very quietly. Perhaps the most terrible truths of life are always spoken in that same quiet voice. Then both of them started across the snow as fast as their unwieldy snowshoes would permit. "He can crawl a little," Dan called to her. "Don't give up, Snowbird mine. I think he be safe." They mounted to the top of the ridge; and the long sweep of the forest was revealed to them. The house was a singular tall pillar of flame, already glowing that dreadful red from which firemen, despairing, turn away. Then the girl seized his hands and danced about him in a mad circle. "He's alive!" she cried. "You can see him—just a dot on the snow. He crawled out to safety." She turned and sped at a breakneck pace down the ridge. Dan had to race to keep up with her. But it wasn't entirely wise to try to mush so fast. A dead log lay beneath the snow with a broken limb stretched almost to its surface, and it caught her snowsurface. The wood cracked sharply, and she fell forward in the snow. But she wasn't hurt, and the snowshoe itself, in spite of a small crack in the wood, was still serviceable. "Haste makes waste," he told her. "Keep your feet on the ground, Snowbird; the house is gone already and your father is safe. Remember what lies before us." The thought sobered and halted her. She glanced once at the dark face of her companion. Dan couldn't understand the strange light that suddenly leaped to her eyes. Perhaps she herself couldn't have explained the wave of tenderness that swept over her—with no cause except the look in Dan's earnest gray eyes and the lines that cut so deep. Since the world was new, it has been the boast of the boldest of men that they looked their Fate in the face. And this is no mean looking. For fate is a sword from the darkness, a power that reaches out of the mystery, and cannot be classed with sights of human origin. It burns out the eyes of all but the strongest men. Yet Dan was looking at his fate now, and his eyes held straight. They walked together down to the rulen house, and the three of them sat silent while the fire burned red. Then Lennox turned to them with a half-smile. "You're wasting time, you two," he said. "Remember, all our food is gone. If you start now, and walk hard, may be you can make it out." "There are several things to do first," Dan answered simply. "I don't know what they are. It isn't going to be any picnic. Dan. A man can travel only so far without food to keep up his strength, particularly over such ridges as you have to cross. It will be easy to give up and die. It's the test, man; it's the test." "And what about you?" his daughter asked. "Oh, I'll be all right. Besides—it's the only thing that can be done. I can't walk, and you can't carry me on your backs. What else remains? I'll stay here—and I'll scrape together enough wood to keep a fire. Then you can bring help." He kept his eyes averted when he talked. He was afraid for Dan to see them, knowing that he could read the lie in them. "How do you expect to find wood—in this snow?" Dan asked him: "It will take four days to get out; do you think you could lie here and battle with a fire for four days, and then four days more that it will take to come back? You'd have two choices: to burn green wood that I'd cut for you before I left, or the rain-soaked deadwood under the snow. You couldn't keep either one of them burning, and you'd die in a 'night. Besides—this is no time for an unarmed man to be alone in the hills." Lennox's voice grew pleading. "Be sensible, Dan!" he cried. "That Cranston's got us, and got us right. I've only one thing more I care about—and that is that you pay the debt! I can't hope to get out myself. I say that I can't even hope to. But if you bring my daughter through—and when spring comes, pay what we owe to Cranston—I'll be content. Heavens, son—I've lived my life. The old pack leader dies wheu his time comes, and so does a man." His daughter crept to him and sheltered his gray head against her breast. "I'll stay with you, then," she cried. "Don't be a little fool, Snowbird," he urged. "My clothes are wet already from the melted snow. It's too long a way—it will be too hard a fight, and children—I'm old and tired out. I don't want to make the try—hunger and cold; and even if you'd stay here and grub wood. Snowbird, they'd find us both dead when they came back in a week. We can't live without food, and work and keep warm—and there isn't a living creature in 'the hills." "Except the wolves," Dan reminded him. "Except the wolves," Lennox echoed. "Remember, we're unarmed—and they'd find it out. You're young, Snowbird, and so is Dan—and you two will be happy. I know how things are, you two—more than you know yourselves—and in the end you'll be happy. But me—I'm too tired to make the try. I don't care about it enough. I'm going to wave you goodby, and smile, and lie here and let the cold come down. You feel warm in a little while—" But she stopped his lips with her hand. And he bent and kissed it. "If anybody's going to stay with you," Dan told them in a clear, firm voice, "it's going to be me. But aren't any of the cabins occupied?" "You know they aren't," Lennox answered, "Not even the houses beyond the North Fork, even if we could get across. The nearest help is over seventy miles." "And Snowbird, think! Haven't any supplies been left in the ranger station?" "Not one thing," the girl told him. "You know Cranston and his crowd robbed the place last winter. And the telephone lines were disconnected when the rangers left." "Then the only way is for me to stay here. You can take the pistol, and you'll have a fair chance of getting through. I'll grub wood for our camp meanwhile, and you can bring help." "And if the wolves come, or if help didn't come in time," Lennox whispered, passion-drawn for the first time, "who would pay what we owe to Cranston?" "But her life counts—first of all." "I know it does—but mine doesn't count at all. Believe me, you two. I'm speaking from my own desires when I say I don't want to make the fight. Snowbird would never make it through alone. There are the wolves, and maybe Cranston too—the worst wolf of all. A woman can't mush across those ridges four days without food, without some one who loves her and forces her on! Neither can she stay here with me and try to make green branches burn in a fire. She's got three little pistol balls—and we'd all die for a whim. Oh, please, please—" But Dan leaped for his hand with glowing eyes. "Listen, man!" he cried. "I know another way yet. I know more than one way; but one, if we've got the strength, is almost sure. There is an ax in the kitchen, and the blade will still be good." "Likely duiled with the fire—" "I'll cut a limb with my jackknife for the handle. There will be nails in the ashes, plenty of them. We'll make a rude sledge, and we'll get you out too." Lennox seemed to be studying his wasted hands. "It's a chance, but it isn't worth it," he said at last. "You'll have fight enough without tugging at a heavy sled. It will take all night to build it, and it would cut down your chances of getting out by pretty near half. Remember the ridges, Dan—" "But we'll climb every ridge—besides, its a slow, down grade most of the way. Snowbird—tell him he must do it." Snowbird told him, overpowering him with her enthusiasm. And Dan shook his shoulders with rough hands. "You're hurting, boy!" Lennox warned. "I'm a bag of broken bones." "Till tote you down there if I have to tie you in." Dan Falling replied. "Before, I've bowed to your will; but this time you have to bow to mine. I'm not going to let you stay here and die, no matter if you beg on your knees! It's the test—and I'm going to bring you through." He meant what he said. If mortal strength and sinne could survive such a test, he would succeed. There was nothing in these words to suggest the physical weakling that both of them had known a few months before. The eyes were earnest, the dark face intent, the determined voice did not waver at all. "Dan Falling speaks!" Lennox replied with glowing eyes. He was recalling another Dan Falling of the dead years, a boyhood hero, and his remembered voice had never been more determined, more masterful than this he had just heard. "And Cranston didn't get his purpose, after all." To prove his words, Dan thrust his hand into his inner coat pocket. He drew forth a little flat package, half as thick as a pack of cards. He held it up for them to see. "The thing Bert Cranston burned the house down to destroy," he explained. "I'm learning to know this mountain breed, Lennox. I kept it in my pocket where I could fight for it, at any minute." Cranston had been mistaken, after all, in thinking that in fear of himself Dan would be afraid to keep the packet on his person, and would cravenly conceal it in the house. He would have been even more surprised to know that Dan had lived in constant hope of meeting Cranston on the ridges, showing him what it contained, and fighting him for it, hands to hands. And even yet, perhaps the day would come when Cranston would know at last that Snowbird's words, after the fight of long ago, were true. The twilight was falling over the snow, so Snowbird and Dan turned to the toll of building a sled. The snow was steel-g. A man in a uniform is pointing at a woman sitting on a bench, who is holding a newspaper. The scene is set in a city with smoke rising from the buildings in the background. "The Thing Bert Cranston Burned the House Down to Destroy." moonlight when the little party made their start down the long trail. Their preparations, simple and crude as they were, had taken hours of ceaseless labor on the part of the three. The ax, its edge dulled by the flame and its handle burned away, had been cooled in the snow, and with one sound arm, Lennox had driven the hot nails that Snowbird gathered from the ashes of one of the outbuildings. The embers of the house itself still glowed red in the darkness. Dan had cut the green limbs of the trees and plumed them with his ax. The sled had been completed, handles attached for pushing it, and a piece of fence wire fastened with nails as a rope to pull it. The warm mackinaws of both of them as well as the one blanket that Lennox had saved from the fire were wrapped about the old frontiersman's wasted body—Dan and Snowbird hoping to keep warm by the exercise of propelling the sled. Except for the dull ax and the half-empty pistol, their only equipment was a single charred pot for melting snow that Dan had recovered from the ashes of the kitchen. The three had worked almost in silence. Words didn't help now. They wasted no sorely needed breath. But they did have one minute to talk when they got to the top of the little ridge that had overlooked the house. "We'll travel mostly at night," Dan told them. "We can see in the snow, and by taking our rest in the daytime, when the sun is bright and warm, we can save our strength. We won't have to keep such big fires then—and at night our exertion will keep us as warm as we can hope for. Getting up all night to cut green wood with this dull ax in the snow would break us to pieces very soon, for remember that we haven't any food. I know how to build a fire even in the snow—especially if I can find the dead, dry heart of a rotten log—but it isn't any fun to keep it going with green wood. We don't want 40 have to spend any more of our strength stripping off wet bark and hacking at saplings than we can help; and that means we'd better do our resting in the heat of the day. After all, it's a fight against starvation more than anything else." "Just think," the girl told them, reproaching herself, "if I had shot straight at that wolf today, we could have gone back and got his body. It might have carried us through." Neither of the others as much as looked surprised at these amazing regrets over the lost, unsavory flesh of a wolf. They were up against realities, and they didn't mince words.

They moved through a dead world. The ever-present manifestations of wild life that had been such a delight to Dan in the summer and fall were quite lacking now. The snow was trackless. Once they thought they saw a snowshoe rabbit, a strange shadow on the snow, but he was too far away for Snowbird to risk a pistol shot. The pound or two of flesh would be sorely needed before the journey was over, but the pistol cartridges might be needed still more. she didn't let her mind rest on certain possibilities wherein they might be needed. Such thoughts stole the courage from the spirit, and courage was essential beyond all things else to bring them through. As the dawn came out, they all stood still and listened to the wolf pack, singing on the ridge somewhere behind them. It was a large pack. They couldn't make out individual voices—neither the more shrill cry of the females, the yapping of the cubs, or the low, clear G-below-middle-C note of the males. "If they should cross our tracks—" Lennox suggested. "No use worrying about that now—not until we come to it," Dan told him. The morning broke, the sun rose bright in a clear sky. But still they trudged on. In spite of the fact that the sled was heavy and broke through the snow crust as they tugged at it, they had made good time since their departure. But now every step was a pronounced effort. It was the dreadful beginning of fatigue that only food and warmth and rest could rectify. "We'll rest now," Dan told them at ten o'clock. "The sun is warm enough so that we won't need much of a fire. And we'll try to get five hours' sleep." "Too long, if we're going to make it out," Lennox objected. "That leaves a workday of nineteen hours." Dan persisted. "Not any too little. Five hours it will be." He found where the snow had drifted against a great, dead log, leaving the white covering only a foot in depth on the lee side. He began to scrape the snow away, then hacked at the log with his ax until he had procured a piece of comparatively dry wood from its center. They all stood breathless while he lighted the little pile of kindling and heaped it with green wood—the only wood procurable. But it didn't burn freely. It smoked fittily, threatening to die out, and emitting very little heat. But they didn't particularly care. The sun was warm above, as always in the mountain winters of southern Oregon. Snowbird and Dan cleared spaces beside the fire and slept. Lennox, who had rested on the journey, lay on his sled and with his uninjured arm tried to hack enough wood from the saplings that Dan had cut to keep the fire burning. At three they got up, still tired and aching in their bones from exposure. Twenty-four hours had passed since they had tasted food, and their unreplenished systems complained. There is no better engine in the wide world than the human body. It will stand more neglect and abuse than the finest steel motors ever made by the hands of craftsmen. A man may fast many days if he lies quietly in one place and keeps warm. But fasting is a deadly proposition while pulling sledges over the snow. Dan was less hopeful now. His face told what his words did not. The lines cleft deeper about his lips and eyes; and Snowbird's heart ached when he tried to encourage her with a smile. It was a wan, strange smile that couldn't quite hide the first sickness of despair. (Continued Next Week) READ THE TRIBUNE Fortune Teller T FOR YOU?

The members of this League play upon the doctrine of white supremacy, and drink freely from the cup of Negro hatred. The chief qualifications for membership in this organization are ignorance and depravity. Since there exists in the commonwealth of Virginia an illiteracy percentage of 5.2, the new member is fully qualified on that score. The depravity is evidenced by recent occurrences. When citizens of Brunswick county, or of any other county in the United States, snuff out the life of some poor unfortunate without proper legal procedure, then the Congress should hold that county responsible for proper redress. The Southern States should give up their multitude of prejudices, which are but off-springs of hatred and only destroy the energy and natural virtues of mankind. Because the more the morals of man degenerate the less he depends upon the virtues of his equals. Let us hope that Virginia speedily makes amends for her act of violence. NO ONE HURT AT SUBURBAN GARDENS (Continued from page 1) been circulated extensively. A copy of the letter is reproduced below. NOTE: The following open letter was handed the Editor with the request that it be given the same display given the incorrect report. August 2, 1921. Editor Washington Post: The news article in this morning's paper headed "Fifty Police End Fights" etc., which is assumed to make reference to the enormous crowds which literally stormed the Suburban Gardens at 50th and Hayes Streets last night, is so inaccurate that the writer is persuaded that the Post will welcome a correction. It is true that there was some disorder resultant from the impatience of the crowd of six thousand persons at the delay in the appearance of the Whitman Sisters who had been extensively billed for a short act. So great was the jam that it was impossible for our special officers to make their authority felt, so that it was decided to ask the Ninth Precinct for Reserves. A Squad of five officers responded almost immediately and through their action in repressing and directing the crowds it was made possible for the Whitmans to proceed. There were no fights within the Park and no arrests were made. There was however, the usual excitement caused by the jostling of. a large crowd. A young man who had indulged too freely in a certain brand of prohibition refreshment did make considerable trouble at the merry-go-round and later made more trouble on the outside, after the park had closed. There were no wrecked banjos however as the Suburban Gardens' Orchestra does not include that instrument and the band was "finished" actually and simply because it did not have room to play. Doubtles there was a terrible jam at the cars, as there would have been anywhere with such a crowd to handle, but the car folks had lots of cars waiting and the situation was very rapidly eased. The Universal Development and Loan Co., has established the Gardens (including a playground for children) on nine acres of its sixty-five acre tract, and while gratified to feel that the Colored people of Washington are enthused with its efforts to provide for them an adequate amusement and recreation center; the company will be abundantly satisfied if in the future this approval may be made manifest in a less strenuous and more orderly way. The Gardens are for the enjoyment of all people but we shall insist, with the aid of our special officers and the co-operation of the regular force (which is always ungrudgingly given) that ou rrules be observed and that they at all times be decent and well behaved.

This part of their contract was carried out under adverse circumstances. This stand, on their contract, is substantiated by the hand bills distributed by the Whitman Sisters, which carries the following: "Costuming A Feature, Whitman Sisters Entertain During intermission." They sadly regret this unfortunate incident and personally desire to thank their many friends for their kind and loyal support. It would have been impossible to have started any earlier as all the instruments were practically destroyed in the rush. It was not the Whitman Sisters trying to see "every nickle that came in the gate," as "the way those nickels were manipulated" by the manager of the affair, It was an impossibility. They also wish to correct the erroneous statement to the effect, that a future engagement was cancelled by one Mr. Chas. Lane, Jr., when as a true fact, Mr. Geo. Robinson, a member of the board, in the presence of Mr. Lane and members of the board, solicited a return date for Saturday, August 6th and Miss Whitman flatly refused to do so because of the uncouth treatment accorded by Mr. Lane, Jr. (Signed) MABEL WHITMAN REV. WALKER IS NO MORE Augusta, Ga., Aug., 5—Rev. C. T. Walker, the noted Baptist preacher of this city passed away Friday and his funeral was held yesterday, with the largest audience present of all classes of people that ever witnessed a funeral in this city. Dr. Walker was vice-president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, and had been the pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church here for the past forty years, save five that were spent in New York City as pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. While in New York he founded the colored branch Y. M. C. A. on 53rd street, in February, 1901. The Association is now located in a magnificent building on 135th street. Dr. Walker's church became famous for its institutional work and was one of the attractions in this city. Many northern tourists visited this church, among them being former President Taft and John D. Rockefeller. The Baptists Ministers' Conference of Washington at their meeting Monday, drafted resolutions of condolence and sent them by Rev. A. J. Tyler as their personal representative at the funeral Thursday. Let The Tribune accompany you on your vacation. Send it to your friend or relative. It will be "just like a letter" from Washington. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness and thank you for the interesting news that The Tribune will bring to their attention. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1921 WHAT HAS HAPPENED WHAT HAS HAPPENED As a result of a co-operative agreement between the States relation service of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Federal Board of Vocational Education, special attention has been given to the educational condition among Negroes. The conference report on the Sweet bill revising war risk insurance regulations and creating in the government a veteran's bureau, was adopted by the House by a large majority. The Civil Service Commission has found it necessary to decline to accept medical certificates in future from six physicians whose certificates as to physical condition had proven to be grossly unreliable. Representative Browne, of Wisconsin, has introduced an anti-lynching measure (H. R. 7886) which provides: That whenever any person or property shall be destroyed by reason of the act of any mob or riot, the city, county, town or parish wherein the act of violence takes place shall be liable to the owner of the destroyed or injured property, or to the person who has suffered injury, in case of death to his legal representatives. ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF FORGERY Edgar Buckner, manager of the Washington Braves and personal representative of Henry Lincoln Johnson, was arrested in Philadelphia last week on the charge of forgery and brought to Washington by Detective O'Brien. Buckner is alleged to have passed checks on local merchants at various times for an estimated amount of $600. The finances of the ball team have been in straights for some time; many of the men complaining that they have not been paid for weeks. The team drew very small crowds during its last games here. The team has remained away from home so long that the fans here have practically forgotten the players. What effect the arrest of Buckner will have on the team could not be ascertained. NEW YORK, August 3—Formation of the Haiti and Santo Domingo Independence Society was announced this week. Ernest Angell of New York, attorney for the new organization, will appear before the Senate committee of inquiry "to ask punishment for Americans guilty of atrocities in the island and for the financial restoration for injury done in the impairment of the sovereignty of the countries." Moorfield Storey was elected chairman of the society, and the advisory council includes Robert Herrick, Chicago; Miss Anne Martin, Nevada, and Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver. FREIGHT HANDLERS TO RECEIVE AID The American Federation of Labor may give some assistance to the colored freight handlers of the south who are presenting their grievances to the railroad management. The promise of assistance is to be extended until at such time as the freight handlers union may be admitted to the membership in the railway brotherhood. SHOT BY PISTOL FROM SUITCASE While handling luggage on a baggage car at the Union Station shortly after 10 o'clock Thursday night. Van Buren Hill, 30 years old, am employee of the Station, residing at 213 K St., northwest, was shot through the abdomen when a .38 caliber revolver in the suitcase exploded.
