The Washington Tribune MURDERER OF DR. BROWN CONFESSES CONGRESS ADJOURNS WITHOUT CONFIRMING "LINK" JOHNSON All the News That's Fit to Print VOL I, No. 16. MURDE CONGRESS ADJOURNAL CONFIRMING District Committee Meets But Gives Out No Information Congress adjourned Wednesday without confirming the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. The sub-committee of the United States District of Columbia Affairs Committee, composed of Senators Wesley L. Jones of the State of Washington; Morris Shepherd of Texas; and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas is reported to have met on the 18h and considered the charges which had been filed against Mr. Johnson. The sessions were executive and it has been impossible to ascertain the nature of the charges or the source from which they come. Apparently most all of the political factions are supporting Mr. Johnson for the appointment. Congress will reassemble the 21st of September. STARVING RUSSIA ASKS FOR HELP STARVING RUSSIA ASKS FOR HELP The Russian Medical Relief Society is to establish headquarters at 811 E Street, N. W., from which place they are to conduct a drive for medicine, canned milk and soap for the starving people of Russia. Soviet Russia has been and is without color prejudice. Colored men of ability have been given an opportunity both in the Soviet army and in its governmental affairs. A colored man was general of one of the Red Armies and another sat in Council with Lenine and Trotsky; and Alexander Pushkin, a colored man, is honored as Russia's greatest poet. It is reported that at the Communist Congress at Baku, the majority of the delegates were of color. John Reed's last speech before the Third Internationale was in defense of the colored peole of America. These people are now without food and the committee is soon to start a drive here for medicine, milk and soap to help relieve the terrible conditions that now exist in Russia. Every one who can, would render humanity a service by contributing to this call when asked to do so. KINDERGARTEN TRAINING COURSE OFFERED Chicago, Ill.—The demand throughout the country for colored teachers specially trained in Kindergarten work coupled with the unusual difficulty of obtaining this training and the small number of competent institutions available has prompted plans for the establishment in Chicago of an institution at which any colored graduate of a high school who plans to teach children may receive thorough training. This school in contemplation can be started in the fall if it is assured that a large enough number of students in different sections of the country are sufficiently interested to come to Chicago to take the course. The following course of studies to be completed in two years outlined by Dr. Carolyn Hedger of the National Kindergarten College, has been submitted Tuition and fees will be very small and instructors will be specialists in Kindergarten instruction taken from the foremost Kindergarten Colleges in Chicago. Students will live in private houses while attending school. Interested persons may communicate with T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary, Chicago Urban League, 3032 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill. --- ERER O RNS WITHOUT "LINK" JOHNSON GEO. WIBECAN HEADS ELKS Boston, Mass., August 26.—Geo.

August 26—(Special to The Tribune) Because he wrote an open letter to the Governor of Arkansas protesting against the injustice in the trials and sentences of colored men following the riots at Elaine, Ark., in 1919, Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English in the Virginia Military Institute, of Lexington, Va., has been preemptorily dismissed by a resolution of the school's board of visitors. When Prof. Kerlin's defense of the colored tenant farmers of Elaine first came to the attention of the board of visitors of the institute, he was requested to resign. This he refused to do and accordingly, the board passed another resolution dismissing him abruptly from his connection with the school. A copy of the resolution follows: "Whereas it is the opinion of this board that Col. Kerlin, by reason of his interposition in the Elaine insurrection cases, as exemplified by his letter to the Governor of Arkansas, reflecting upon the administration of justice in that state and those upon whom the solemn duty rests of enforcing the laws therein (in which connection the board has considered his general activities in inter-racial matters), has rendered his further connection with the Virginia Military Institute undesirable, and his retention in his professorship, instead of promoting the beneficial ends for which the institute was established, would prove harmful and detrimental thereto, and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct and management and prejudicial to the interests it is its duty to guard and protect. "Therefore, be it resolved, That the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute are unanimously of the opinion that the usefulness of Col Robert T. Kerlin at the Virginia Military Institute has ceased, and that his further connection therewith as professor would be inimical to its welfare, and therefore his immediate resignation is hereby requested and the secretary is directed to hand Col. Kerlin a copy of this resolution. "And whereas Col. Kerlin has replied to the aforesaid resolution, refusing to resign as herein requested; therefore his employment as professor at the Virginia Military Institute is hereby immediately terminated; his salary nevertheless to be paid until January 1 1922, or to such time prior thereto as shall have accepted other employment." Prof Kerlin is secretary of the Virginia Society for the Study of Education and a member of the Virginia State Interracial Committee. He published a book last year on the Voice of the Negro. He has been active in interracial affairs and has been a real friend to colored people. He read a paper on "The Negro's Reaction to the World War" at the Sociological Congress in Washington last year that attracted nation-wide attention. Principals In Solving Brown Murder Mystery Alfonzo Frye Detective J. T. Jackson Detective Paul Jones MYSTERY FINALLY SOLVED AS HOW PROMINENT PHYSICIAN WAS MURDERED LAST YEAR Alfonzo Frye, Arrested on Charge of Robbery Was Suspected, and after Investigation Confessed to the Crime Much interest was created this week by the announcementm that the alleged murderer of Dr. Robert W. Brown had been apprehended. The announcement was made by the Police Department last Monday and was the result of investigations made by two colored detectives, Jones and Jackson. The man accused of this crime is James Alfonzo Frye of 2220 Sixth Street, N. W. Suspicion was cast on Frye by the authorities it was stated, after they had received an anonymous tip telling them to question Frye, about the Brown murder. Frye was in jail awaiting trial with William N. Bowie, on a charge of highway robbery and other crimes alleged to have been committed by them. Dr. Brown was mysteriously murdered on Saturday night, November 28, 1920. At the time of the murder, no clue was left by which the authorities could trace the guilty party; and no clue could be found to show the motive of the crime. Many rumors were afloat as to the possible cause of this crime. Numbers of people were shadowed and suspects questioned, but no definite clue could be obtained. Frye's Confession In his confession Frye is alleged to have stated that, on the night of the murder he went to Dr. Brown's office twice and found the doctor out. On these two occasions, a woman answered the door. He stated that he again returned about nine o'clock and was admitted by a man who wore glasses. On this visit the doctor was in. While in the waiting room he stated a man, wearing a velour hat, came in, and he, Frye, suggested to this patient that he (Frye) would wait, giving up his turn to see the doctor. He states that he did so, because he was suffering from a severe attack of venereal disease, and that he felt it would take the doctor some time to examine him. Thereupon the other patient, who it develops to be Mr. Wm. Robinson of 1835 12th St., N. W. was waited on and left the room. In his confession he stated that the doctor wrote the prescription, and before giving it to him asked him how much money he had. He stated he told the doctor that he had one dollar, but that he would go and get another dollar. He left the office, attempted to borrow a dollar, and in failing to do so, went to his home on Sixth Street and got his revolver, which he had purchased from a soldier for six dollars; returned to the doctor's office, and after explaining to the doctor that he could not burrow a dollar offered the doctor the revolver to hold until he brought him in the other dollar. Frye stated that at this point, the doctor refused the revolver and be- SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921 BROWN g Brown Murder Mystery Vive J. T. Jackson Detective Paul Jones LY SOLVED AS HOW PHYSICIAN WAS D LAST YEAR ted on Charge of Robbery nd after Investigation l to the Crime came very indignant , using vulgar language, and ordering him out of his office. He states that he told the doctor "You needn't use that rough stuff," whereupon the doctor struck him in the face, he returning the blow to the doctor's head with the but end of the revolver. In the tussel that followed from the little office to the front door, several blows, were passed; he states that at the door the doctor grabbed and choked him to the floor, and that it was while down that he shot at the doctor three or four times, one shot striking him in the head. Frye stated that he pushed the doctor's body aside, opened the door, ran across the yard, jumped over the north fence into the alley, fired a shot in the air to frighten the man who pursued him, (This man was Dr. Jackson of Norfolk), ran to Tenth St., up Tenth to either French or Westminster (he didn't remember which) thence to 9th, up 9th to T, out T to Georgia Ave., thence to W, and threw the revolver over the lumber yard fence on W St., near 6th, thence up Sixth to his home. He stated that the reason the revolver was loaded was because he didn't know how to unload it. Dr. Brown was one of the successful business men of Washington and stood high in the medical profession; he was president of the National Benefit Insurance Co. of this city and was connected with many fraternal organizations. He was considered one of the wealthiest colored men in the United States. At the time of his death his two daughters lived with him. He maintained his office in his home at 1739 Eleventh St. N. W. TENNIS TOURNEY REACHING FINALS TENNIS TOURNEY REACHING FINALS The Tennis Tourney now in full swing at the Suburban Gardens, has attracted national attention and draws large crowds each day. The National Colored Championship Contest began Monday and will continue thru the week. The semi-finals were reached yesterday afternoon and finals today. The full report of the winners and awards will appear in The Tribune next week. Our local players are holding their own and in some cases leading the tourney. It is safe to predict that Washington will carry off two or more of the awards. THROWS LIGHTED LAMP ON WOMAN, CAUSES DEATH Office: 920 U St., N. W.

COLORED GIRL ATTACKED BY BRUTAL WHITE COLORED GIRL ATTACKED BY BRUTAL WHITE Screams by 13-year-old Lillian Conklin, 908 D street, southwest, attracted the attention of two colored men who frustrated the attempt of an unidentified white man to attack the girl in a lumber yard at Ninth and D streets, southwest. The girl told the police she was proceeding to her home when she was grabbed and pulled behind a bill board into the lumber yard. She was fighting bravely and screaming when Joseph Smith 1009 Reilly court southwest, and William Acton, 516½ Eleventh street, southwest, ran to her aid and the assailant fled to Eleventh and E street where, boarding a moving trolley car, he escaped. Up to an early hour this morning police from every precinct in the city had been unable to capture him.

"Why Theatres Owned and Operated by Our People Should Be Supported" 2 This is the fifth installment of Essays submitted during the recent Essay Contest conducted by this paper. (By Mrs. Anna Buford) "Why theatres owned and operated by our people should be supported." This gives food for much thot to the right thinking Negro man and woman. We should support them for the same reason that we support our homes, churches, and organizations. Who will if we do not? Race pride should compel us if the isolated seats in the down-town theatres do not. How often do we forego attending shows rather than occupy these — reserved seats? Now, by patronizing Negro owned and operated theatres, no such humiliation is visited upon us. Our money will seat us in any part of the house, and they can be made as beautiful as any theatre in the city, according to the way we patronize them. And another thing, this patronage of race owned and operated theatres keeps the money in the race. There is no gain-saying the matter, the possessor of money weighs heavily, wherever it may be found. Let us get an understanding, both to our own money's potency for good, as a spur to greater efforts in raising our estimate of ourselves, and causing other races more and more to realize that we, as a part of the American people, are a living, virile, vital force, to be reckoned with, who will not stay "Put." By all means let us patronize our own theatres so that our managers can not only house us as handsomely as any other, but can well afford to give us the best and first releases. Money, you know, friends, secures these things. Surely they are not too good for us—are they? Are they too good for your mother, your wife or posterity? No! a thousand times, No! As a parting word, I must insist that it is our duty to not only patronize Negro theatres but all other Negro enterprises. (By Theodore S. Botts, Jr.) Theatrics owned and operated by our people should be supported, because they are purely the race's enterprises and their success, for our own benefit, depends upon our hearty, loyal support. For many years we have been fighting hard with orations and petitions, trying to obtain our blood-bought equal rights from this government, but the dawn of that new day has not yet appeared. Then, why not try a new method? The Jew's method which is a method that will aid us in bringing forth our long desired results—equal rights. The Jews own more than 69 per cent of the commerce of this country, and they became in possession of this high per cent in the commercial world by sticking together and helping each other. Do the Jews fail to get their equal rights from the Anglo-Saxons in this country? The answer is emphatically no. Why? One of the chief reasons is, because they are the masters of the finance of this country. This should be a lesson for us. We will never obtain our equal rights from this government until we make ourselves important, strong factors in the commercial world. But we will never bring this to pass unless we stick together and support enterprises owned and operated by our people. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE we sow these seeds of evil, among ourselves, we must expect to reap them. When we patronize them, we show that we would rather have the white man to make the profits than we would the black man. This is discriminating against our own color. Therefore, we should support theatres owned and operated by our people, because they are purely the race's enterprises and their success, for our own benefit, depends upon our hearty, loyal support. (By John S. Agenor) Why Theatres Owned and Operated by our People should be Supported? Because, unlike any other people, we hold a peculiar position in the American body politic. First and foremost, whenever it is practicable, we are separated from a close contact with other Americans, native or naturalized and foreigners, especially those from Europe. Secondly, because in every avenue of business and commerce we are given the least opportunity; whenever we are given consideration and an opportunity in any number, we are, as a rule set apart from other Americans. We ought to support theatres owned and operated by colored people Because, we are shouting from every housetop UNITY and LOYALTY. Because, theatres owned and operated by colored people represent capital hard earned saved and invested by thrifty colored people for the amusement of colored people who are denied admittance in theatres owned and operated by white people, and Because, if we fail to support theatres owned and operated by colored people, we will be contributing to the failure of colored people in business, impoverish those colored people that invest their all for our amusement, give a black eye to race UNITY and LOYALTY and stultify our sincerity of purpose as a race aiming for our advancement in the business world. Because, in supporting theatres owned and operated by colored people we are not only making it possible for some colored people to be employed congenially, but, we are increasing the wealth of the colored people, thereby assuring a further progress in the business world, by contributing additional capital, by our support to be used in the promotion of other business the additional capital from the profits of the colored theatre enterprises will afford, giving additional employment to the colored people they would not otherwise get. Because, when we give our support to a theatre enterprise owned by white people, employing colored people to operate it for colored people, we are only biting at the bait that is thrown to us to divert us from supporting colored enterprises; enriching the white business people and impoverishing the colored business people; making the white people stronger at the expense of the colored business people, in other words we are unconsciously helping to keep the colored people from rising in the financial and business world, while preaching the necessities of expanding in that sphere and endeavoring to fit ourselves for our present and future business activities. These are the reasons and facts I give in answer to the query "Why Theatres Owned and Operated by our People Should Be Supported?" (By Miss Veda L. Porter) Theatres owned and operated by our people afford the only opportunity for real colored talent to display itself. The doors of the white theatres are closed to the colored artist because white people consider it perfectly ridiculous for him to appear in any but a servant role or that of comedian. What could be more absurd to them than a Negro made up as white and playing a lead? It makes no difference how clever a colored artist may be his only hope is in the colored theatre. If these theatres are not supported so that the actors can make a living out of the profession, it not only crushes the ambition and blights the hope of those already in the field but it offers no inducement for others to enter. To support our own theatres raises the standard of the performances. Many believe that it is only vaudeville to which colored people are especially adapted. That is due to the fact that white people have pronounced us a success in that line. A good many of our people refuse to attend high class colored performances simply because they have no confidence in colored performers unless they are playing in vaudeville. Efforts, of Southern politicians, both in this Congress and previous ones, to condone the actions of deserters who joined the Confederate forces during the Civil War, are slowly but surely bearing fruit. The Northern viewpoint is gradually being changed by the persuasive utterances of suave Southern statesmen. Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, in his fervent desire "to cement the two sections together," had an amendment attached to a naval relief bill which reads: "See 2. That every officer or midshipman of the United States Navy or Marine Corps who was dismissed therefrom solely because he left such service in order to join, or because he joined, the Confederate forces for service during the Civil War shall be held and considered to have duly resigned and to have been honorably discharged therefrom, and the Secretary of the Navy is hereby authorized and directed to correct the records of such officers and midshipmen in accordance herewith as the date of such ssaal." "Solely because he left." They did not leave; they deserted. Not only were they deserters, but they were guilty of the crime of treason. Section 3, of Article 3, of the Constitution of the United States provides that: Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Orators may declaim the feasibility of correcting war records but the fact still remains that the Confederate forces were engaged in the heinous crime of treason against their common country. GEORGETOWN NOTES The funeral of Mr. Geo. Freeman was held Saturday at John Wesley A. M. E. Z. church. He was a member of Peter Ogden Lodge G. U. O. of O. F. Interment took place in Wood-lawn cemetery. The board of directors of the Georgetown Odd Fellows met Monday night to hear reports of the ways and means committee. Chas. H. Turner made his report of the drive of 1921, which showed $1,200. The board of directors of the Crispus Attucks Relief Association held their regular meeting Tuesday night. The Georgetown Civic Association will soon resume their regular meetings. Georgetown Patriarchy No. 42, G. U. O. O. F., won three prizes at the Roanoke Encampment last week; one for the largest number of men attending the session; one for the largest number of recruits. Capt. Chavis and his men are to be banqueted by the Georgetown Citizens. A corporation is being formed especially to aid those buving lots at Glenarden, who desire Homes built, see Mr. Scott today about your lot. Our best talent won't always do that class of work. If we show our appreciation by properly supporting these playhouses, it will be an incentive for actors who are really worth while to develop thereby giving better class performances. People who are theatrically inclined are afraid to venture because they feel that it isn't worth while. What we want to do is to produce actors of merit and raise the standard of the shows. To support our own theatres inculcates race pride. When our boys and girls frequent white theatres and see nothing but white actors, they naturally get the idea that white people are the only people who can do real acting. These colored boys and girls must be made to feel that they are just as capable and they must be given the opportunity to make good. If we do not pride ourselves, pray, from whom may we expect it? We must build up a theatrical world of our own and be proud of it. There is that feeling of freedom in our own theatres, that we fail to get elsewhere; the feeling that we are not only welcome but that satisfaction of having our patronage actually solicited. To support theatres owned and operated by our people benefits the race financially. A prosperous colored business gives employment to colored people. The greater the patronage, the larger the salaries of the employees and the greater the profit of the proprietor. When the profit goes to the colored theatre owner the race is benefied. Wealth is accompanied by influence and the two are the surest means of obtaining those things which are most beneficial to us as a race.

ADDITIONAL NEWS OF THEATRES MONTE BLUE IS HERO OF "A PERFECT CRIMF" Allan Dwan has turned to his first love comedy drama in producing "A Perfect Crime," his second Associated Producers' release, which comes to the Dunbar theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. He has taken a simple story, embellished it with sound philosophy, provided plenty of romance, humor and pathos and turned out the best comedy drama of his career. The story has for its hero the greatest liar on record. Baron Munchausen himself was a rank amateur compared to Wally Griggs. And Wally is so proficient in the art he lies his way to success. For in the beginning he is a poor bank messenger, timid, grovelling and despised, earning $60 a month. He is disgusted because bank officials endeavor to make him a thief by placing money about where he can steal it. Wally revolts. If they expect him to be a thief, he'll be one, and he plans a cunning robbery. He lays his plans carefully and devotes his time to examining another identity so that when the time, comes Wally Griggs will have disappeared and a new personality in no way connected with the bank will reap the harvest of the stolen money. In establishing his new identity it is necessary for him to lie. He lies magnificently and impressively. For the first time in his life he finds that people are listening to him. Does he rob the bank? It would be unfair to tell you. But he does steal a girl's heart. Monte Blue is the hero of the story and Jacqueline Loban, a former Ziegfield girl plays opposite him.

Scott to represent or have me represent latest First National starring vehicle, "The Branded Woman," which will be shown at the Dunbar Theatre, Monday and Tuesday. Because of the elaborate nature of the sets called for in this motion picture, which was adapted by Anita Loos and Albert Parker from Oliver D. Bailey's well known stage play, "Branded," Hugo Ballin was engaged to design them. The result has been an artistic triumph. In addition to beautiful interiors for a private house in Paris and the Ritz Hotel, a fashionable boarding school for girls up the Hudson, the library and other rooms of a wealthy New Yorker's home are some remarkable scenes in India. The scenes of the Far East reveal an open market place and a slaveblock, where Norma, as the heroine, is sold at public auction, with donkeys, camels and natives in picturesque costume lending a touch of "atmosphere." But most remarkable of all are the allegorical scenes in Hades. One of these sets, which represents a dream of Norma's, wherein she imagines herself dragged down by Society into a hideous whirlpool of slime and filth, from which she is rescued by the man she loves, was filmed in a huge pool discolored and apparently filled with horrible creeping creatures like the "slimy things that crawl with wings" in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." So hideously realistic is this pool into which Norma plunges in a costly and beautiful costume, that the other members of the cast and the "extras" playing the roles of unfortunates caught in the river of lost souls, hesitated to enter the water until Norma herself plunged in. RACE MAN ENDORSED Baltimore, August 19—David Robinson of the seventeenth ward was endorsed by the republican organization for the state legislature. This is the first time that a colored man has received the endorsement of any political party as its candidate for the legislature in the history of this city. The seventeenth ward is represented in the city council by a colored man and the colored voters of this ward have been clamoring for recognition in the state legislature. This the leaders of the party have agreed to by allowing them to name Robinson as one of the six candidates for the house. 10 per cent in 15 days—Balance in 15 months 10 per cent Discount for Cash PAUL D.

Lovejoy the abolitionist editor of Alton, Ill., who lost his life in November, 1837, has just been acquired by the Chicago Historical Society. The press upon which Mr. Lovejoy printed his "Alton Observer," was dismantled by the rioters and thrown into the Mississippi River from which it was taken years ago and became a part of the historical collection of the late C. F. Gaither of this city. Y.W.C.A.NOTES Classes and clubs for study are being formed for the next fall season and those desiring to enter these are urged to register as soon as possible. A delegation of the New England Federation of which Miss Elizabeth C. Carter is president and which has been meeting in Baltimore visited the Phyllis Wheatley building on Saturday and Sunday. The Athletic Club had a very interesting program for Vespers last Sunday. Miss Belle Davis, executive secretary of the Circle for Negro Relief of New York, was the speaker on the subject of Health Education. She told of her work in the North and South in a most interesting manner, of the success in creating health centers in local, county and state units, giving inspiration for health activities. The nurses attending the sessions of the National Nurses Association were highly pleased with the W. W. C. A. to which they made a donation of fifteen dollars that will be used to purchase something permanent for the building. Ask to see it when you come in. The residence accommodation in the Phyllis Wheatley for forty-four was so stretched as to house more than double that number, giving entire satisfaction, which proves that the management of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. has gotten efficiency down to a fine point. The Sadie R. Johnson Room, a suite with bath, was the most popular room in the building, being occupied by members of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Nurses.

The Le Droit Tigers put it all over the St. Cyprian Club last week by the score of 6 to 5. Bunny Jefferson, who has been playing left field for the Tigers was given his initial tryout in the pitcher's box and judging from the score he made good and by looking at the box score, he made an extra fine showing; striking out 11 men and allowing only 5 scattered hits. He was backed up by superb fielding. Manager Andrew Allen of the LeDroit Tigers is desirous of entering his team in a post series of games to determine the city championship; such a series of games are now being contemplated by the managers of the various teams.

Warner and Lillian Biron, in the star roles will be the attraction at the Hiawata Theatre, Monday of next week. This picture is an adaptation from the powerful story of the same name by ArthurHenry Gooden, and the cast contains such well-known names as Robert Anderson and Bert Sprotts. Robert Anderson is well remembered for his work in D. W. Griffith's "Hearts of the World" and "The Greatest Thing in Life," also in Universal's "Hearts of Humanity." "Below the Deadline" is really a melodrama of the underworld, and every moment is crowded with full-blooded and vigorous action, the kind that thrills to the very core and makes the spectator clutch his seat in sheer excitement. Detective Donovan, as played by J. B. Warner, is one of the most delightful hero portrayals ever given on any screen, and the work of Lillian Biron as the abused wife of Buck Elliot (Bert Sprotte) has won for that charming little actress an established place in stardom. The story opens with a bang, and the swift action and tense situations develop the plot in a manner throughout the entire picture that one almost sits in breathless suspense until the final fade-out, when all ends as it should end, happily and to the entire satisfaction of the audience.

The public want a post-series a to give them what they want. The timid. The Tribune wants them to open. For the good of the game, give At present there is much talk about staging a post-series of games between the leading teams of this city so there will be no doubt as to the city champion. Every year about this time this same question arises and the season usually ends with all managers and players arguing about which is the best team. This is due to the fact that the teams do not have a regular schedule during the season; they rather live like the fox, "If they don't find any games, they don't have any." This system, to a large extent, has greatly reduced the attendance, because there was no rivalry to keep the fans interested. If the public goes to any particular game, it is because they know the players, or the manager, or, perhaps because most of them in attendance had nothing less to do. It was not because they knew this team or that team would play its best to win, so as to have a higher standing at the end of the season, or be eligible to enter the post-series and have a chance to win the championship. Because of the absence of these elements, interest in the games has not been built up to what it should be. A post-series would aid greatly in increasing the interest in the game and building up a larger attendance. Such a series can be brought about only by the absolute cooperation of the various managers. If these managers are broad enough to see the many advantages they have to gain, such a series will be played this year, but if they continue to dwell in the darkness of misunderstanding, this series will not come to pass and the public will again be left in the dark as to which is the be team. The Tribune desires to see these games played, not only because they would meet the public's approval, but because the managers themselves would gain in the confidence and support of the public. It would also be one of the greatest boosts that could come to pass; for baseball here next season. It would place the grand old game on the same high plane here that it enjoys in other cities. Washington, today, is one of the few large cities in the East not having a first class ball club. The Braves has been a dismal failure and another team will have to take their place next year. Such a post-series would bring before the people the best players in action and establish them in their confidence, so that next year, should one of these teams decide to go in for big game, the impression will have already been created. In order that a post-series of games can be arranged, The Tribune suggests that the managers of the Piedmonts, Deanwood A. C., Le Droit Tigers, Washington Giants, Georgetown Athletics, St. Cyprians and the winner in the Departmental League any other teams that can show a good record, meet in The Tribune office, 920 U St., N. W., at 7:30 p. m., on Wednesday the 31st, so that such details as may be necessary can be worked out. The public want a post-series and now it is up to the managers to give them what they want. This is no time for managers to be timid. The Tribune wants them to state their views; our columns are open. For the good of the game, give the public the series. SPORTS AND BASEBALL CRUCICAL GAME OF DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE The Colored Departmental League closed its second series with a three cornered tie between the Census Treasury and Navy Yard. A play off series to decide the winner was held and the Census team won. By winning this series, the Census team is to meet the Treasury team, winner in the first half, to determine which team will win the Loving Cup. Much interest has been manifested in these games and when the final game is played next week, Tuesday August 30th on diamond No. 8, an extra large crowd is expected to be present. Other dates of the league will be announced later. GEORGETOWN ATHLETICS SWAMP PIEDMONTS The much touted Piedmonts met the Washington Athletics at American League Park last Sunday and bowed in defeat to a score of 14 to 2. Kaiser, opening for the Athletics, allowed only 4 hits in six innings. Punch the "smoke ball" king, who started in the seventh, did not allow a man to reach first until the ninth, when Baylor walked after two were out. "Muley" Steward and "Buck" Carroll each made seemingly, almost impossible catches. "Muley" when he crossed the fowl line in the third to take Perry's fly and Carroll, when he speared Bland's liner in the 4th and threw him out when off balance.

Eleven years ago some of the leading colored farmers of Howard and Montgomery Counties, Maryland, deded to form a norganization for the purpose of injecting new life into a part of a group of men who represented the backbone of the nation. The outgrowth of this meeting was the formation of the Colored Farmers' Club of Howard and Montgomery Counties, Md. Each year the crowning feature of the work of this organization is the Annual Horse Show which takes place on the farm of Mr. Chas. T. Hill, near Colesville Md. Marylanders, as well as hundreds of citizens of the District of Columbia, look forward to this event each year with great anticipation. On Wednesday, August 17th, thousands made their way to this annual affair. One who has not attended one of these annual "turnouts" can not realize what wonderful things are being accomplished by our brothers of the soil. The fine horses, buggies and wagons exhibited are a credit to the promoters of the affair and to the race they represent. The mule race was the most amusing of all. The most exciting event was the Hurdle Jumping. Two young men and Lancelock Russell, a boy of ten years, rode the horses. The boy was the successful contestant. Club's Finance Accounted For (By C.

Music Forum THE POWER OF MUSIC (Continued from last week) We repeat, in the development of poetry, Music has exerted a remarkable influence, notably in the use of phrases and terms which represent the meanings of the verse through their sounds. Music and poetry are twin sisters as well said by a writer, and by way of diversion we reproduce a poem by James Weldon Johnson in the New York Age, entitled: "The Creation"—A Negro Sermon. After telling that God stepped out on space and said, "I'm lonely—I'll make me a world," and that "darkness covered everything blacker than a hundred midnights down in a cypress swamp," the poem says:— "Then God smiled, And the light broke, And the darkness rolled up on one side, And the light stood shining on the other, And God said, 'That's good!' Then God reached out and took the light in His hands, And God rolled the light around in His hands, Until He made the sun; And He set the sun a-blazing in the heavens. And the light that was left from making the sun ing the sun God gathered it up in a shining ball And flung it against the darkness, Spangling the night with the moon and the stars. Then down between The darkness and the light He hurled the world; * * * * * * * And God walked, and where He trod His footsteps hollowed the valleys out And bulged the mountains up." The imagery is preserved through the succeeding lines, which tell how, seeing "that the earth was hot and barren," "God stepped over to the edge of the world and He spat out the seven seas;" "He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed; flashed; He clapped His hands, and the thum DOINGS OF THE RED CAPS Mrs. Jones E.

Banks is running to Cumberland, Md., on the B. & O. 6 And the light broke, Forum ders rolled; And the waters above the earth came down, The cooling waters came down." When green grass sprouted, red flowers blossomed, the pine tree pointed his finger to the sky, the oak spread out his arms and the rivers ran down to the sea, then "God smiled again, and the rainbow appeared, and curled itself around His shoulder." Peopling the waters and the earth with "fishes and fowls, and beasts and birds," He walked and looked "on all that He had made. He looked at His sun, He looked at His moon, and He looked at His little stars, but He was lonely still. So— "Then God sat down On the side of a hill where He could think: By a deep, wide river He sat down; With His head in His hands, God thought and thought, Till he thought, 'I'll make a man!' Up from the bed of the river God scooped the clay; And by the bank of the river He kneeled Him down; And there the great God Almighty, Who lit the sun and fixed it in the sky, Who flung the stars to the most far corner of the night, Who rounded the earth in the middle of His hand; This great God, Like a mammy bending over her baby, Kneeled down in the dust Toiling over a lump of clay Till He shaped it in His own image; Then into it He blew the breath of life. And man became a living soul. Amen. Amen." Maj. N. Clark Smith, supervisor of music in the Lincoln High School of Kansas City, Mo., has spent the summer in Chicago with Mrs. Smith.

Weak and over-extended spots are rapidly being purged and here and there the upturn, widely anticipated with the passing of the summer, has started. The recent report of the Federal Reserve bank shows the excellent condition of the regional banks—they being in position to handle the business of the country without pressure. Increased buying of pig iron is the best evidence of the turning of the corner and the bond market which has readily absorbed all first class issues is another evidence that we are on the upgrade in the industrial and commercial world. Sure there are unfavorable factors, which must be presented and weighed for what they are worth. These are the results of past conditions which now are history, rather than of current events. The passing of dividends by a number of industrial concerns was felt in the marketing of that stock, which only shows the earnings of the companies for the past three months. They reflect the past; not the future. In many industrials it is safe to say there will be a perceptable showing in their earnings the next three months. President Harding's plan for refunding the railroads had been reflected in the purchase of pig iron in anticipation of the demand for the finished product of steel. The first break in the low scale of crude oil has attracted the industrial world to that industry and strengthens the opinion that liquidation has been absolute in that industry and the advance of 20 to 25 cents per barrel of certain grades, is evidence of the turn of the corner. Grain and cotton have continued irregular; but their purchasing by foreign trade has featured the week's market. The Disarmament Conference here in November, will have great bearing in the international situation, for already one or two loans that have been discussed, have been held up until after the conference. Stabilization of foreign exchange is likely to be big topic for discussion at this conference, for the wide fluctuation of foreign exchanges has been a stumbling block to a revival of normal international commerce. All indications now point to crop shortage in both wheat and cotton due to curtailed acreage, and the compensation for these crops may be found in higher prices than were anticipated for these commodities. THE ROSS PHARMACY At the corner of R and 10th Streets, Northwest, a white man opened a drug store, at that time one among the few in this section. Ten years ago a few young colored men purchased the store from the white man and named it the "Howard Pharmacy," out of respect to their Alma Mater, as all of them were graduates of the pharmaceutical department of Howard University. One of the men of the Howard Pharmacy was Dr. Chas. D. Ross, Howard 1901. He was working in the Government Printing Office then. Six years ago he conceived the idea of running the store on modern lines and decided to own the place himself and run the store in accordance with his plans. Therefore, he purchased the store and renamed it the Ross Pharmacy and during the past six years has built up a lucrative and dependable patronage to the extent that while there has been a general slump in business this summer, the Ross Pharmacy has had its regular clientele of loyal patrons who have been constant and regular customers of the store in which they take just pride. Dr. Ross is one of the influential Masons of the District. He is the Master of Corinthian Lodge Number 18. He is also a race man and was among the first to kick out the Velvet Kind cream in resenting discrimination against colored children. Dr. Ross is also a member of the Druggists Association and one of the substantial business men of the city. GATHINGS' SHINING PARLOE Shoe shining has developed into a real paying business. J. G. Gathings, a student of Howard University struck upon the idea last fall of operating a shining parlor to help defray his expenses while in school. In December he purchased a place that had been running for two years at 1708 7th St., Northwest. By giving his personal attention to it and carefully selecting his help he has built up a business of which he is proud and one from which he makes a fair salary while a student. Mr| Gathings is preparing to be a doctor of medicine and has developed progressive business ideas that will prove profitable in his future field. The location of his parlor being near SATURDAY. AUGUST 27. 1921 From The Press From The Press KEEP YELLOW RACES OUT (The Washington, D. C. Times) There is one reason for excluding all Orientals from residence and land ownership in the United States which is sufficient. This is white man's country, and white self-protection demands that it be kept a white man's country. That is the reason. And reason enough it is. We have, it is true, a negro population. But the forefathers of these black people were brought here against their will, and these black people themselves have no other country and are, therefore, morally and legally entitled to their residence and citizenship. But there is no analogy at all between recognizing the claims and rights of these native-born negro citizens and recognizing the CLAIMS—not the RIGHTS—of these yellow foreigners who clamor for admission to America. No analogy at all. Not a bit. Any attempt to expel the negro population would be not only illegal but also wicked and cruel. If such a thing were possible—and no sane white man dreams of it—the expelled negroes would have no land to go to, no home to seek, no place of refuge. But all that is demanded of the Yellow men is that they do not come in—not that they be driven out. The negro belongs here, where he was born, and where he is a useful citizen. The yellow man does not belong here, and he never becomes a real American citizen if he is permitted to come here. So that we state only a fact when we say that this is a white man's country—even though it does contain several millions of negro citizens. The negro is no menace. He is loyal. He is a willing soldier in war and a productive worker in peace. But the yellow man is a menace. He is not and he cannot become an American. He remains Chinese or Japanese, and in the case of the Japanese his whole loyalty is to Japan, in peace and in war. Our Pacific Coast is overwhelmingly white. It wishes to remain so. And every probability of the future demands that it should remain so. The Western coast is our outpost on the Pacific. When the final struggle comes for the safety of American commerce on the Pacific, the three coast States must bear the brunt of hostile attack. It is absolutely necessary that they shall have then a loyal and courageous white population, not endangered by the presence of thousands of yellow enemies, fanatically loyal to a hostile power. As we said the other day, our stand upon this question is not taken with any regard at all as to whether it pleases or benefits either the Hawaiian sugar capitalists or their opponents in the ranks of organized labor. It is dictated solely by an earnest and anxious regard for the welfare and safety of the whole American people. Keep the yellow people out. Keep this a white man's country. That is the common sense policy. THE PLACE OF THE PRESS (Dallas, Texas, Express) There are too many of us who do not yet fully appreciate the place of the newspaper in the eevry day life which we now live and especially is this true in the case of the Negro newspaper. There was a time in the history of American civilization when every locality, and to a great extent, every family was sufficient unto itself as far as the satisfaction of its immediate wants were concerned. But the increase of population, the linking together of different localities by means of railways and telegraph connections caused such a scheme of interchange of commodities that today nearly every quarter of the globe contributes something toward the comfort and well being of the humblest citizen of the smallest town and the individuals of the world find themselves so closely related that a condition which affects one affects all. The death of a London banker is felt in Wall Street, and when Wall Street is affected adversely the pressure is felt even by the humblest citizen of the the Tech High School, Mr. Gathings being a good business man, has cultivated this trade and finds the drill days of the school profitable ones. He has built up a fine cigar and news trade, handling out of town papers as well as those of the city. Mr. Gathins says that The Tribune is a favorite among his patrons. The shoe shining business is one of many possibilities for the chain idea and the possibility of manufacturing one's own products, thereby increasing the profits of this business.

Such a relation commercially has been accompanied in its formation by a corresponding condition in things political, social and scientific. The numerous diversifications and divisions of such relations must of necessity have a common center from which they may go out to the public which they concern. They find this common center in the newspaper. It is, as it were, the place where one may find, carefully arranged for most efficient consumption, facts concerning all agencies which have to do with human welfare. Newspapers and periodicals themselves, must of necessity fall into different groupings in accordance with the needs of the public which they serve. In this fact we find the reason for the existence of papers and periodicals devoted to finance, agriculture, social work, science, medicine and general news. They even group themselves, especially in America where all races meet and each has its own peculiar problems, according to race and nationality. Each has its place. Each performs a special service to its public which others of a different sort find it impossible or impracticable to attempt to render. In reasoning thus it is hard to realize that we, the ten million of us who comprise one-tenth of the great American population and are able to contribute so largely to American welfare, should not realize more speedily than we now do, the height in journalistic appreciation. Probably because of the fact that the conditions incident to our life in America have not been conducive to great racial pride or interest in the general conditions under which we live, we have not fully realized the importance of having dependable organs of information with the sole purpose of keeping us informed. But it is a fact that from now on such organs can do, as they now are doing, much to increase the rate of our development. Now more than ever before we are realizing the need of organization, of co-operation of a realization of the fact that wherever we may be, our interests are some how identical and the success or failure of one individual or group affects us all. The opening of a National bank by Negroes of Atlanta, of necessity raises the status of Negroes in Texas; the purchase of real estate in large quantities in New York has its effect upon Negroes in Mississippi; the improvement of farming and marketing methods of Negroes in Texas, will be felt by Negroes everywhere; for, whether we fully realize it or not, we are a distinct part of the great American whole and our mass accomplishment will determine our status. Therefore it is highly necessary that news of the doings of our people along their various lines of endeavor find a common point from which they may be distributed. The Negro newspaper furnishes this point. And be it realized now that they perform for our public a service which cannot be as efficiently rendered by any other agency. Papers will develop as people develop. More widely varied interests will encourage their development by increasing their opportunity for service. At this time, lack of appreciation of the service rendered by the press is a confession of failure to progress to that point of intellect and consciousness which causes a realization of the fact that knowledge of one's fellows is important in one's own development.

The once docile Negro is now steaming and puffing under an adequate head of pressure, which has been quickened and tempered by the persistent insolence of the old gullible and pusillanimous Negro (leader) who sallies to the fore in the guise of omniscience of all ills and deserts harbored in the aching breasts of the masses and blats like a goat through a megaphone the mendacious promises of his "masters," which are always given in recognition of the Negroes' loyalty and fidelity to the Party's standard. A GOLD BRICK always looks good. It has to. Its promising appearance is its sole virtue. Looks alone will not sell goods today. Merchandise with a name, the name of its maker, has the call. Only the maker of worthy goods can long afford to advertise. At the High Court of Public Opinion any other sort is condemned. These lying political slop- and garbage-animalcules cannot forever obuscate their chicanery and hide their machination from the growing resentment of 15,000,000 people who have learned to distrust the veracity of their lickspittle and whose avowed purpose and object is to relegate these sycophants to the junk pile of worthless human endeavor—whence we pray they shall never come "to trouble us again in this world nor condemn us at Thy bar"—for their days are numbered and the hand of fate quietly pulls the bells of their doors in guest of faineant faiters. The old school leaders have been given our confidence and support, but they forsock us in the pinches. When we repose our trust and claim of Race pride in their little News sheets, we soon find that they too are a part of the insidious propaganda that beguiles us. In the heat of the battle they have retreated to cover and call to us from the eminence of their little perch, admonishing us to be patient, long-suffering (like Jesus), assuming, and let the "iawd" and the republican party fight our battles; they make haste to set forth apologetic symposia to the white mobs and their accomplices for the action of this New Negro who determines to protect his home and the lives of his women and children. They wriggle in the road of least resistance and ask us to emulate their posture. They fall into ecstacies at the resound of the hobnails of marching invincibles who have determined to capture human rights at all cost and exile the arch enemy of God and the Negro race. When we ask for meat, they give us a serpent; for bread, they give us a stone. When we cry in our distress for remedial legislation, they make haste to fetch a hyssop of fallacy and delusion. When we express our disapproval of lynch-law, jim crow cars, injustice and discrimination, they ask us to be quiet lest we be classed as radicals, Bolshevik, and Socialists! When we show them the picture of a black babe grappling with the empty pap of an under fed mother, they point to the stars as the "Milky way." THE Advertiser of today must not only seek circulation, but must also seek Interested Readers—Readers who are not only interested in the news columns but the advertising as well. But this is not all. When the political pie is cut and lily-white waiters begin to file around the hall, our own lackeys, thinking only about number one, squirm and cringe around for their share of the sweets. Reluctantly a seed is pitched in their direction, and they, catching it firmly in their wicked jaws and holding tightly to it, move silently back to their lair and slumber till the next campaign. They maintain a silence as grim as death. In their advanced state of coma, all promises to the bleeding millions are fo-gotten, all principles and policies wafted to the skies, and all hopes of the deceived stranded on the asininity of Negro lackasses. WISE Merchants always seek good publications to tell the story of their wares; therefore resolve to use THE TRIBUNE, because of its large number of Interested Readers in the District of Columbia. After a lapse of time these languid dreamers are aroused by the blatant toot of a baron's trumpet. It is the masters' summons to another political campaign. They emerge from their hiding place, shake themselves a little, and growl around awhile till their riddle is perfect, and scurry away through alleys and the Ghetto of cities, through gullies and ditches of the country, and finally wind up their diabolical mission in the confidence of the credulous. They have failed indubitably. The hand that spued them upon their high place, circumscribed the province of their actions. To continue to follow blindly these serfs of the republican party would tend to illumine the intelligence of the Modern Negro.

That the Ku Klux Klan is in active operative in the Capital of the Great United States was brought to light Wednesday of last week when one of their number approached a prominent gentlemen (who was taken for a white man) on a prominent street in Northwest Washington, with an invitation to join the Klan. This K. K. K. member said that they were organizing here and asked this gentleman to join with them. They wanted he said, to show the Negroes of Washington their place, because the Negroes of this city were living in too fine houses and too many were driving high powered motor cars to suit the Klan. He also stated that although the Negroes stood their ground in the conflict in July, 1919, that the Klan would show them their place in the next conflict. This gentleman said: "All right, I am with you; but I want you to know that the Negroes are already organized and have a K. K. K. of their own. If the white people of this city start any trouble the Negroes will take good care of themselves, as Knights of the Kerosene Kan." The recent actions of the K. K. K. in Texas in tarring and feathering members of their own race, is sufficient evidence of the reckless brutality to which they resort when it suits their purpose. Let the would be Ku Kluxers here beware; for with the lesson of Tulsa's burning impressed upon their memory, the colored citizens of Washington will ever be ready to discharge their duty as citizens of the Republic, and give a good account of themselves if the occasion should demand. The recent parade of the K. K. K. in Alexandria, Va. in which 500 men took part, strengthens the report of their intended activity in this city and should a conflict occur here, it is probable that the Alexandria contingent would be called upon to reinforce the Klan in Washington. The Stateof Virginia is said is completely organized by the Klan; and while they have not been so reckless and so brutal as the organization has been in Texas, in Oklahoma and in Louisiana, the fact remains that the organization is working hard thruout this section and is using race prejudice as its rallying cry for members. The K. K. K. is marching on and colored pepole are reading, thinking, and reaching conclusions. "Remember Tulsa," rings out everywhere. It would be well for the K. K. K. to realize that colored men have decided that they like company fairly well and are determined to have some of the Klan accompany them in trying the realities of the unknown. That the spirit of the mob has permeated our whole country is an outstanding feature of the past week's news as has been reported by the various press dispatches which record ten or more mobs that performed everything in the catalog of outlawry. At Abiline, Texas a mob of 100 white men assembled and drove colored men and Mexicans from a church that was being erected and demanded that they be given the work in preference to the colored and Mexican men. In New Orleans, Louisiana, some colored men decided that they could do a little team work and proceeded to rescue a colored man from an Italian that was pursuing him. They used bricks for defense and the Italian a pistol but they drove him away, forcing him to board a moving street car. In Knoxville, Tennessee, a mob of white men attacked the jail to get Frank Martin, accused of a crime, but were met with machine gun fire and twenty-eight boys, women and men were shot, four of whom died. That machine gun brigade proved the best remedy for the mob for they retreated faster than double quick time. Mobs are only a bunch of cowards, that's all. Four machine guns and a detachment of artillerymen prevented the mob from storming the jail in Barnstable, Massachusetts, and getting three colored men held therein accused of crime. Another case of courage upsetting a cowardly mob. At San Antonio, Texas, a colored man sold a white girl a rattle snake with which she entertained the men in training, by dancing with this snake. It became angry and struck her twice. The white men wanted to lynch the colored man for selling the white girl the snake. Can you beat that? A mob formed at Datura, Texas, and marched over to Collidge, Texas, took the body of Alex Winn from an undertaking establishment and burned it. Wait a minute. Read this: In Augusta, Georgia, a colored man named Walter Smalley was struck by a white man. The colored man went home and got his gun, returned and killed the man that struck him; shot the first policeman that appeared on the scene and then shot eight other white people before he was killed. That night a mob went to the morgue, took out a body supposed to be that of Walter Smalley and burned it. The sheriff stated that they burned the body of the wrong man. How is that for revenge—cowardly, brutal revenge? While preaching in a tent at Oskaloosa, Iowa, Rev. W. L. Wilford, spoke plainly about the American dead in France and some ex-service men decided to make an example out of the Reverend by taking him into the country and treating him to a tar bath, adorned with feathers. One thousand five hundred white men in Kingston, N. C., captured Jerome Whitfield accused of attacking a woman; hanged him, riddled his body with bullets and then burned him, to make sure that he was dead. Because Tom P. Waverly, white, ran over a bird dog belonging to a colored man, he was shot in the face by the col- 8 PUBLISHED WEEKLY by the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO., Inc. 920 U Street, N. W.

While Waverly was in the hospital, three hundred white men surrounded the colored man in a corn field and proceeded to teach him a lesson by lynching him. In Cincinnati, Ohio, John Douglass accidentally bumped into William Lawson, a railroad detective, who resented the accident. Lawson knocked Douglass into the gutter and was surrounded by about twenty nine colored men. He ran about two blocks and fired into the crowd without effect and was arrested before further harm was done. With this array of mob violence before us it should be a powerful lesson to us and one that this Administration should consider with the view of remedying; for this carnage cannot go on forever without arousing the sleeping lion of colored people's fury and once aroused who can imagine the end? Will Congress take heed? Will the department of injustice become the Department of Justice and discharge its duty? Will the President take cognizance of this awful condition that is ruling in this country besmirching the Stars and Stripes? WISER THAN THE WISE The tiny flames of rumor that have been smoldering under the Harding administration's political pot have now been fanned into a blaze of considerable size. Seemingly the pot has begun to boil, and the hungry hordes of Negro job seekers are eagerly sniffing its odors. But the wise ones say that it only contains twenty portions. It may be that some one of the faithful henchmen, is going to perform the miracle of the five loaves of bread and the five fishes; for the "Gang" must be fed. One portion—labelled The Recorder of Deeds—has already been dished out, but evidently it was not flavored rightly. The other nineteen are not necessarily Presidential appointments, a majority falling within the purview of the various departmental heads as assistants and part of administrative staffs The next among these coming appointments, is that of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph, Missouri. The wise ones have him slated as Chief Examiner for colored patients, in the newly created Veterans Bureau. The others, so the crystal gazers say, are to be made from time to time as the various departments are reorganized. But the piece de resistance—The Register of the Treasury—is still at the bottom of the pot; and until that is dished out to the hungry, the wise ones will continue to prophesy. N. W. IMPROVEMENTS There is much improvement being made thruccet the City.
