The Washington Tribune CONGRESS STARTS PROBE OF THE KU-KLUX BUTLER BROTHERS' HOMES RAIDED LAST SATURDAY MORN All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I No. 23 CONGRE BUTLER BROTHER RAIDED LAST The homes of William J. Butler, 324 T Street and Eddie Butler, 1015 Lamont Street, northwest, along with several other places, were raided Saturday morning by revenue officers in conjunction with the city police, in which about thirty arrests were made on the charges of having and selling whiskey. The raiders claim to have secured one automobile, 40 quarts of gin, 150 gallons of alcohol, 40 gallons of corn whiskey, 70 quarts of liquor, one gallon of flavoring extract for gin, two safes and 31 arrests. In addition a number of books and papers were seized, some of which had no bearing on the case whatever. The raiders broke open the front door of William J. Butler's home on T street. Took the safe down to the Treasury building and opened it. Found two half pints of whiskey in it but none any where else in or about the house. At Eddie Butler's on Lamont street they arrived about 7:30 a. m. Mr. Butler was away. As the raiders entered without knocking, Mrs. Leotha Butler asked them what they desired. They replied that they had come to raid the house. "Show me your warrant," asked Mrs. Butler. "We don't have to do that," replied the leader. "Well read it to me, then," demanded Mrs. Butler. She was coming down the steps and she says that she was met on the steps by one of the U. S. Revenue Officers and kicked by him down the balance of the way. She was ill and was to have gone to the hospital that afternoon for an operation. This brute of an officer kicked Mrs. Butler down the steps because she asked to see the warrant authorizing them to search her home. Mrs. Butler says that there was a large butler of officers. "They went up stairs, blew open the safe, took two $100 bills, every letter, deed, policy, $85 in gold, $700 diamond ring, and $125 in silver without giving me a receipt for them." Mrs. Butler continued, "They could not find any whiskey or alcohol, only some wine I was making and it was not thru fermenting. They ripped open my mattress, tore the lock off of my trunk and went into the back room where Mr. Butler has his office in which he attends to the business of the building of the garage on 8th street, and literary tore up everything." The two men were placed under $5,000 bonds and their cases set for October 18th. MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION RECEIVES DONATIONS The rejuvenation of the National Memorial Association by president Lee and his co-workers is bearing fruit. Letters of invitation and appeal have been sent to the fraternal and benevolent organizations of the city. A few have responded as the following amounts will show: Masonic—Felix, $5.00; Social, $5.00; Eureka, $3.20; Prince Hall Chapter, $2.08; Miriam Chapter, $2.00; Odd Fellows—Ionic Lodge, $3.00; Free Grace, $2.00; making a total of $22.28 received in the last few days. The other lodges will be heard from as they have their meetings. President Lee spent Sunday in Philadelphia in the interest of the Association and spoke at the Cherry Street Baptist church. Arrangements were made for the celebration of Armistice Day in the interest of the Association, in one of the large churches of that city. Letters are going out to all of the State Commissioners concerning the Armistice Program and already New York, Maryland and Virginia have been heard from, stating that programs are being arranged. Messrs. Jas. H. Howard and J. A. G. LuValle, will speak in the interest of the Association at the great fair in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Saturday, October 22. DEATH CLAIMS MAN 113 FATHER OF 32 CHILDREN Published Weekly ESS STA S' HOMES SATURDAY MORN WM. J. BUTLER EDDIE BUTLER HOLD-UP STORY PROVEN-FALSE Robert Coles, 22 years old of 1208 V street, N. W., and Arthur R. Bradford, 23 years old of 626 Callan St., N. W. resented the glaring headlines appearing in the white dailies about a white man and his wife being robbed last Sunday evening on 14th St., and therefore, have since reported to the police department a correct description of what actually happened. From their statements it appears that the rumors of a "crime wave" in this city which grew out of the sensational hold-up, robbery and assault report alleged to have been made to the police by George O. Roper, of 2516 Thirteenth street, northwest, were practically dispelled when a police investigation revealed that the incident was nothing more than a street brawl, caused by Roper himself, who is from Tennessee. Roper is alleged to have attempted to push one of the men off the sidewalk, which was resented and a fight ensued, and Roper was badly beaten up. The investigation revealed also that Roper's photograph was contained in the police records with the information that he had been arrested last December on the request of police authorities in Tennessee, but later was released. The Columbia Citizens Association and most of the white dailies tried to make the most of the situation, by painting the Race as black as possible. Neither, it seems, cared to investigate and get the real truth. York, S. C., Oct. 14—"Uncle" Fenton Diggs, 113 years old, was buried here Thursday. Mr. Diggs died late Tuesday after a short illnes, the first he had ever had, he told his friends. His wife, age 90, survives him. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 COLLEGE MEN TO GATHER IN BALTIMORE, MD. Reduced Rates Obtained for Big Alpha Phi Alpha Convention Word has just come to the National Secretary of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Norman L. McGhee, from the chairmen of the Railroad Passenger Associations of the country that a reduction of one and one-half fare on the certificate plan will apply for members attending the 14th annual convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to be held at Baltimore, Maryland, December 27th to 31st, inclusive, 1921, and also for dependent members of their families. Ever since the establishment in 1906 of the Alpha Phi Alpha, the first Negro college fraternity to be organized, the college fraternity idea among Negro college students has rapidly spread until there are now seven national Negro college fraternities and three sororities. From the mother chapter organized at Cornell University by a group of Negro male students, the Alpha Phi Alpha has spread until it now has thirty-five chapters located at the various colleges and universities of the United States, numbering among them such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, the Universities of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Pittsburg, Illinois, Chicago, Ohio, Kansas, California, Howard, Lincoln, Wilberforce, Virginia Union, and Meharry Medical College. It has now a membership of 2000, of whom 1200 are prominent graduate and honorary members and 800 undergraduate members. Among the prominent graduate and honorary members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity are Hon. William H. Lewis, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Dean Kelly Miller, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Hon. Robert L. Vann, Mr. Clarence Cameron White, Mr. E. C. Brown, Bishop John Hurst, Dr. J. E. Moorland, Hon. James A. Cobb, Dr. George E. Haynes, Dean George William Cook, Dr. George Cleveland Hall Hon. William C. Matthews, Dr. George E. Cannon, Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite, Dr. W. G. G. Alexander, Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Dr William A. Warfield, Dr. Marcus F Wheatland, Dr. S. L. Carson, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Dr. E. D. Williston, Mr A. L. Jackson, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Dr J. T. Cotton, Dr. W. S. Scarborough and Dean D. O. W. Holmes. The rate reduction to the 14th Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha upon the certificate plan as granted provide that tickets at the regular one-way adult fare for the going journey be obtained on any date from December 23rd to 29th, inclusive. Request is made for a certificate when ticket is purchased. Such certificate is presented upon arrival at the meeting to General Secretary, Norman L. McGhee for endorsement. Return tickets may be purchased when certificate is duly validated on any day up to and including January 4th, thus allowing ample time for all members of the Fraternity and their friends to enjoy a visit to Baltimore and to Washington, the National Capital. Probably the largest delegation of Negro college men ever to hold a meeting will come to Baltimore and attend this convention as there are within a radius of 200 miles some twelve hundred members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity located in the various eastern cities and colleges. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 14—A. D. Burgess, an employee of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, probably has the largest family in Georgia, if not in the South. He is the father of thirty-two children and has had three wives. Twenty-six of the children are living. AUTHORS OF VARIOUS BILLS, TROTTER REV. SHAW AND OTHERS DEMAND ACTION KLAN'S WIZARD NOT INVISIBLE Feebly Denies Everything Newspapers Have Published About Order (By The Tribune's Special Correspondent) The investigation of the Ku Klux Klan being conducted by the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives this week has revealed many features of the workings of this cowardly organization. The Imperial Wizard, W. J. Simmons, was present and at times appeared nervous when aspersions were cast upon him and his organization—smoking black cigars (altho ladies were present), trimming his finger nails and whittling on matches (the favorite pastime of a Southern cracker), to quiet his nerves. Representative Tague, of Massachusetts, who introduced one of the two resolutions in Congress calling for an investigation of the Klan, was the first person called before the committee, which met in the caucus room of the House Office building, Monday. He denounced the K. K. K. most vigorously, saying: "The Klansmen are a pack of cowards who go into the night behind masks and infringe on the rights of citizens. I do not want them coming into my home because of my race, color or religion. I do want to see every citizen protected and the Constitution not made a scrap of paper by these cowardly men. They have become so powerful that they even went into the courts and destroyed court records that held evidence against some of their members. I would be glad to have them try a parade in my city—Boston. They would not get far with it, Mr. Chairman." Growls were heard from the Klan members present, Congressman Upshaw particularly. Sitting with Congressman Upshaw, of Georgia, was James A. Holloman, one of the editors of the Atlanta Constitution and when asked by an acquaintance, "What are you doing here Jim?" he replied, "I am here to protect my friend Upshaw and to keep these d—n Niggers from killing him." When favorable reports were made on the Klan, there were smiles from the Klan quarters, near Wizard Simmons. When unfavorable evidence was given, growls and snarls were heard from the clavern end of the room. Sitting in the midst of Klan members, many interesting things were heard by the writer. This same editor of the Constitution, J. A. Holloman, said on another occasion, "Upshaw, I was not so much in favor of the Klan, until I came here and saw so many d—n Niggers in here. I am for them now." Congressman Dyer, of Missouri was called and told why he introduced his resolution. "One of the principal aims of the Klan is to terrorize the colored people of the country, by posting warnings, parading and by publishing statements." He read from two letters showing the activity of the Klan. One of them said: "I want you to help me get a warrant for members of the Klan. They have ruined my business, driven me away from my family and my home." Mr. Dyer said that many of the authorities were failing to give protection against the Klan and that the colored people of New Jersey have purchased arms and ammunition with which to protect themselves. He also told of the Klan parading just before election time last fall to intimidate voters, especially in Florida. Growls came from the klavern as Mr. Dyer denounced the Klan. Office: 920 U St., N. W. ARIOUS BILLS, AND OTHERS D HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE K. K. K. HEARING "The Klansmen are a pack of cowards who go into the night behind masks and infringe on the rights of citizens."—Representative Tague of Mass. "What are you doing here, Jim?" asked a friend of James A. Holloman, an editor of the Atlanta Constitution. "I am here to protect my friend Upshaw and to keep these d—n Niggers from killing him." When favorable reports were made on the Klan, there were smiles from the Klan quarters, near Wizard Simmons. When unfavorable evidence was given, growls and snarls were heard from the klavern end of the room. "Upshaw, I was not so much in favor of the Klan until I came here and saw so many d—n Niggers in here. I am for them now."—J. A. Holloman, editorial writer on the Atlantic Constitution. One Klansman decided that there were too many colored people sitting and too many whites standing. He said to Congressman Upshaw: "What would we do with those d—n Niggers over there sitting while white women are standing, if we had them down home?" "We would do a plenty," replied the Reverend Congressman Upshaw. He is a Baptist preacher, you know. They were all interested in William Monroe Trotter, the militant editor of the Boston Guardian. The Imperial Wizard, the Reverend W. J. Simmons, said he belonged to two churches—the Congregationalist and is a "watch-care" member of the Baptist church. Tom Watson (Senator from Georgia) practically acknowledged his membership in the Klan when he made his dramatic appearance at the hearing Thursday afternoon, Walking up to Simmons, while the Wizard was addressing the committee, took him by the arm and said: "I want you to know I am here. I am with you." "Many secret orders have restricted membership," said Simmons. "Yes, the Niggers, for instance," chirped Congressman Upshaw. Simmons boasts of his Americanism but he has paid no income tax for his Klan. Congressman Gallivan, a Democrat of Massachusetts, introduced a resolution calling for a joint investigation by the House and Senate to determine the number of members of the Klan in each of the houses of Congress. He appeared before the committee in support of his resolution and deliberately denounced the Klan and all members holding seats in either house of Congress as being traitors to their oath of office. He charged that in the last election, nominees for office joined the Klan prior to election, and he wanted to find out who they are. A growling undercurrent went thru the Klan quarters while Mr. Gallivan was speaking. One Klansman said to another: "What would we do with those d.-n Niggers over there sitting while white women are standing, if we had them down home?" Congressman Upshaw answered, "We would do a plenty." Trotter Speaks They were all interested in William Monroe Trotter, the militant editor of the Boston Guardian and a leading (Continued on page 8) --- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS J-KLUX TROTTER EMAND ACTION RECALLS KLAN'S EARLY HISTORY Was Investigated in 1871 Under Orders of Pres. U. S. Grant The present Congressional investigation of the Ku Klux Klan is the second attempt, by Congress, to inquire into the vicious practices of the Klan. Fifty years ago, President Grant sent a message to Congress, in which he said: "A condition of affairs now exists in some of the States of the Union rendering life, and property insecure," etc. The proof that such a condition of affairs exists in some localities is now before the Senate. President Grant recommended legislation to secure life, and liberty, and property, and the enforcement of law in all parts of the United States. In pursuance of this recommendation, "An act to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, and for other purposes," was passed and approved April 20, 1871. Prior to the passage of that act, a joint committee, consisting of seven senators and fourteen representatives, was appointed to inquire into the condition of the late insurrectionary States, with permission to report at any time the result of their investigation during the next or any subsequent session of Congress. This committee made an exhaustive survey of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in the Southern States, and made its report to Congress in thirteen volumes. They found that the Ku Klux Klan came into existence in middle Tennessee, about the year 1866. And that, the generic Ku Klux Klan was distributed under the following names, Constitutional Union Guards, White Brotherhoods, Invisible Circle, Knights of the White Camelia, and Pale Faces. - Starting in Tennessee, the Ku Klux Klan rapidly spread into adjoining States, and manifested itself by its acts, to a greater or less extent, in every one of the late insurrectionary States as early as during the summer and fall of 1868. It was composed of the late rebel soldiers as opposed to the Union men; Democrats as opposed to the white and Negro Republicans in the Union Leagues; of those who resisted as against those who sustained efforts to maintain law and order. Coming into existence after the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution was adopted, it visited its vengeance upon the Negro and the Union man whose acts had liberated him. The reconstruction acts, being another step to secure national safety, were met with increased bitterness by the followers of the Klan. When the fourteenth amendment was proposed, conferring citizenship and its rights upon the Negro, and imposing disabilities to hold office upon those who had already disregarded the obligations of office, the spirit of this order is revealed in the atrocities they committed in the various Southern States. One of the marked characteristics of the Ku Klux operations, was the persecutions of that branch of the Methodist Church, known as the Methodist Episcopal, as distinguished from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It pursued the ministers of that church because of their interest in the enwly freed slaves. In Mississippi they destroyed school-houses and drove away school-teachers, because they did not desire the Negroes to receive education. In all the States investigated, they committed murders, whippings, and (Continued on page 8) ```markdown ``` WELL. THE DAY'S WORK IS DONE NEW FOR HOME AND HAPPINESS HELLO LOVEY! HELLO SWEET HEART!

I desire to state that I did not know that a contract to decorate the lobby was contemplated. I left the city in June for a period of two months and was not consulted as to the color scheme, the paintings or the painter and had nothing whatever to do with the work. In a visit to the city after the work had been started, I immediately entered my protest against the so-called decoration as not being in keeping with the high standard of art endeavor expected of the people of the Nation's Capital. Respectfully W. D. NIXON. Y. M. C. A. At the regular meeting of the Committee of Management of the 12th St. Branch Young Men's Christian Association, Tuesday, October 4th, at the suggestion of the Executive Secretary, a committee was appointed for the purpose of rendering assistance to unemployed men. The personnel of this committee is as follows: Chairman, George A. Robinson, 1312 F St., N. W.; Mr. U. W. Hall, 1940 11th St., N. W.; Mr. C. E. Howard, 1019 U St., N. W.; Mr. Wm. Stevenson, Executive Secretary. Y. M. C. A. It is the aim of the Committee to co-operate with all other agencies having in view the same purpose and it is the earnest wish of each member that all individuals, firms, corporations, etc., who may be in need of help will make same known by calling the 12th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., North 1054. It is felt that the coming winter, in view of the present unemployment condition, will present a very serious situation. The churches and all civic organizations, it is hoped, will take active part in the movement. It has been stated that from 5,000 to 7,000 men are out of work in the city of Washington. This is, of course, not encouraging and something must be done to alleviate those who are already suffering. Constructive suggestions will be thankfully received by any of the member of the Committee. Y.W.C.A. At the Fall Opening meeting next Monday night at the Phyllis Wheatley the "Home Fires" will be burning and an interesting program given. "Y" members and friends are invited. Come hear how the "Y.

CHI RHO SIGMA ORGANIZED Dr. St. Elmore Brady, head of the department of chemistry, Howard University, organized last March a chemical research society, The Chi Rho Sigma. This is the first organization of its kind among Negro students in the world to-day. This organization did commendable work in chemistry last session and with the advice and counsel of Dr. Brady promises to be a medium thru which men will become known who have become eminent in the various fields of chemistry. Once during each month the organization will hold public meeting at which various problems will be discussed and reports on research work will be made. The present members are: Dr. St. Elmore Brady, M.S., Ph. D., Counselor; Frederick D. Johnson, President; Russell W. Chapman, Vice-President; Leonard W. B. Foote, Sec'y; John E. Eubanks, Treas.; Joseph W. Stuart, Eugene T. Alexander, Whittier C. Atkinson, Executive Committee. University Notes The R. O. T. C. is expected to have a banner year. Organization has already begun under the leadership of Warrant Officer, Edward York and Sergeant Darwin Smith. These two men have great interest in the unit and its success; not towards personal achievements and aggrandizements, but seemingly to the value of the unit to the Negro in future years. Sergeant Dorsey T. Rhodes, began his first rehearsal of the R. O. T. C. bandmen Monday. Last year the band made a very promising showing on the Ellipsse during music week, as well as on the campus and in concerts. Saturday morning at eleven thirty o'clock, Dramatics will begin in Library hall, under the direction of Prof. Montgomery Gregory. Professor Gregory successfully directed the dramatics department of last year and wonderfully exhibited his work thru his players at the Belasco Theatre, with Chas. Gilpin (our Negro dramatist pre-eminent) in "Emperor Jones" the play which startled Broadway. The department will feel the loss of Mr. Prior who is requested by Mr. Gilpin to train with him and tour Europe. There is an enrollment this year of two hundred thirty freshmen, approximately. This falls below last year's enrollment; being due probably to the present status of the country. There are many students who are self dependent and were unable to procure work. On Monday, October 10, Dean Kelly Miller will speak to the freshmen at eleven o'clock in Rankin's Memorial Chapel. Mr. Johnny Smith, president of the Junior Class, has called a meeting for organization. The Junior Class looks forward to much success this year. The Y. M. C. A. extended a cordial welcome to the incoming students at the Union Station and about the campus. This organization has always stood for good among the students. It is especially a great help to new students. The organization is planning a welcome entertainment to the students in Spaulding Hall, Saturday evening, at 8:00 o'clock P. M. The faculty is expected to participate. The Initial meeting will be held Sunday morning at 9:00 A. M. in Library Hall. Mr. L. K. McMillan is president of the association. The Sophomore Class is busy organizing its various departments. Mr. Robb and Mr. Gilbert are shaping the future debating team. HOWARD UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL OPENS The Howard University Law School held its opening October 1st, beginning its first year under the new Dean, Mason N. Richardson, Esq., and with its increased facilities for preparing larger numbers in the profession of the-law. At the formal opening announcement was made of the new program of instruction and the new standards required for entrance to the school. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of the University, addressed the students of the Law School and the large number of alumni who were present, upon the subject "Life and Law." Professor Andrew Wilson who presided in the place of Dean Richardson who was absent due to illness, announced the enlarged program that would mark the work of the new school year. MARSHAL FOCH INVITED TO VISIT HOWARD As a member of the Citizens Committee of One Hundred, which is making arrangements for the entertainment of the delegates to the Conference on the Limitation of Armament and for the entertainment of Marshal Foch, the Inter-Allied Commander, Dr. Emmett J.

Howard Theatre One Week Starting Monday, October 17th Matinees: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday THE FASHIONPLATE OF MINSTRELS "COLLINS' ALABAMA MINSTRELS" Headed by James Crosby, "The Tall Talker" The Stage and the Screen (By Jay Bee) SMARTER SET SHOW PUTS OVER "UP AND DOWN" WITH A CRASH Many Favorites included in Cast From a point of vantage, (in the orchestra pit, as guests of Messrs. Jim Vaughn, director, "Clarinet" Moore and "Cornet" Moore—buddies, not brothers) with about 1200 others, I witnessed "Up and Down," Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt's latest and most pretentious production. "Up and Down" is one of the jazziest, "dancingest" and "singingest" shows that we have seen this season. The producers of this wonder show, themselves modestly admit that this is their greatest success, and after witnessing the offering last Monday evening, there are many of us who are of the same opinion. Taking into consideration that this is their third week out, with several minor details yet to be straightened out (such as switching numbers and positions) the show was a real riot. It is about as snappy as anything that has been seen on Broadway this season. (That goes for "Shuffle Along" too.) The story of the show, interpersed with many catchy musical numbers, is based upon a plot, which, unlike many of the other productions seen here, is adhered to throughout the entire presentation. J. Homer Tutt, Salem Tutt Whitney and Amon Davis, being the chief funsters, registered high "Up" in the amusement barometer of an enthusiastic audience and jointly, they will go "Down" on record as being the leading comedians in the season's greatest musical comedy success. In the cast we observed several favorites of former seasons, among them being, J. Frances Mores, Julian Costello, Alonzo Fenderson, Amon Davis, Nellie Brown and Tiney Wilson. We did not fully appreciate the work of Costello, because of his seemingly in-opportune positions. It was some time before we were able to realize just why Costello should do his classic number with a cotton-field setting in the back-ground, but a short explanation in the dialogue, soon cleared up the situation nicely. The show is brimful of clever novelty creations, that follow in rapid succession. There is no evidence of stalling in any situation. Everybody is on the job all the time. "That Da Da Strain" by Julia Moody and "Rock Me Daddy," by Jennie Dancy are "stoppers." "We Want Our Booze," and "The Right Way is the Only Way" afforded an excellent opportunity to listen to a bit of real harmony, rendered by Tutt, Whitney, Mores, Fenderson and Davis. The "Fan Tan" number is beautiful staged but it did not get the handsily staged but it did not get the hands Miss Wilson, who features this number is "mis-cast." However, we trust that it may be possible to see her in a more advantageous setting as the show goes on. The "Strutting Sam" number with J.

The entire show was staged by Nat Cash, who has been connected with "Smarter Set" show for several years. This production may be seen on Shubert time later. CHILDREN PROVES ATTRACTIVE The Special Saturday Shows for children at the Dunbar has made a tremendous hit with the children. Many parents, who are opposed to having their children attend the evening shows, have readily noted the prudence of this innovation and have displayed a willingness to co-operate in making it a success. These Special Shows will serve as an appreciable reward to children who have been diligent in their school work. Special arrangements have been made, by which, only pictures that are particularly adapted for the entertainment of children, will be exhibited. SHOWN AT THE HIAWATHA "Wet Gold," one of Ince's most wonderful under sea productions was shown Monday and Tuesday of this week at the Hiawatha and it was witnessed by several overflow audiences. The exhibition of this picture at popular prices, came as a distinct surprise to the regular patrons of the Hiawatha and many expressed themselves in commendable terms. Manager Raymond Murray promises the patrons of Dunbar, Hiawatha and Foraker Theaters many more surprises. Read the weekly announcements carefully for the early showing of a number of photo-play features which are booked to be shown at the above-named houses. HOWARD ORCHESTRA TOOK IT EASY LAST WEEK Last week during the engagement of Herbert's Minstrels, which carried its own orchestra, the Howard Theatre orchestra "vacationed." However, three hours was spent each day in rehearsing several new numbers, which they have recently acquired from some of the New York publishing houses. They will be heard during the Supper Shows. Taking into consideration the exceedingly short space of time that this combination has been working together; it is remarkable to note the success with which they are meeting. They are rapidly becoming popular favorites with the Howard patrons, who frequently refer to them as the "Supper Show Idols." TRIBUNE READER COMPLAINS OF VULGAR PRACTICES In a letter to the editor of the Tribune, last week, Mr. Woodfork complained of the persistent practices of some of our performers, who are of the opinion that they cannot put over their offerings without the aid of language of dual meaning or suggestive chatter. Performers who are laboring under such impressions will be ultimately driven out of the profession. It is a very timely letter and the conductor of this column in his reviews of plays and players will spare neither pains nor mince words in voicing the opinion of the public at large. We want good clean vaudeville and we can have it only through the co-operation of the managers and performers. There is no excuse for the use of smut at any time. So beware! You, who are dependent upon the public for a livelihood.

RED SOX LOSE FIFTH STRAIGHT (By E. Jones) In the night-cap on The Christ Child Diamond, Ford's Red Sox lost their first straight game for the City Championship. The Red Sox played in hard luck all thru the series losing their first 3 games by a one run margin. The St. Cyprians hammered their way thru Milan and Taylor for 7 hits and 12 runs in 6 innings. Scriver, one of the coolest pitchers to be found, was nicked for 4 hits and 5 runs. The Sox played very ragged ball in this game being charged with 7 errors. Box Score: St. Cyprians— Ab. H. Po. A.

They need only one more game to have a clean sweep for the Colored City Championship. In that game they have to meet the fast Piedmonts, a team that has already defeated them in a ten inning game but was protested and thrown out to be played over because of the ineligibility of their pitcher. In the morning game, the Athletics swamped the Red Caps by a 13 to 4 score. Although both Jefferson and Slade allowed 10 hits and passed 5 men, the Athletics made the most of their hits while the Red Caps were charged with 2 misplays. While in the second game the Athletics had a walk away after the 4th inning. Kaiser only allowed 3 scattered hits while Donald working for the Soxs, had 13 charged against him. Fast fielding could have easily cut them to 7, Harry Johnson and "Dick" Fells contributed the fielding fea- Starting Monday, tuesday, Thursday and Sa TE OF MINST AMA MIN tures of the day.

C.-Howard Inaugurated the 1921 football season Friday October 7th, at Lynchburg, Virginia, with an easy 19 to 0 victory over the Virginia Theological Seminary and College team.-Coach Morrison did not use any of his football "tricks" but simply had his men use straight football which proved ample to overcome the plucky Virginians. Doneghy, half back, a comparative newcomer, was the individual star of the game, making a thirty yard run for a touch down from kick formation. The team showed its strength over its opponents by marching about 80 yards on line plunges to the Virginian's third yard line in the third quarter. Good work was done by Captain Fuller, tackle, and Smith, guard, on the line. Payne also showed up well in the backfield. The past two weeks intensive training has been partially fruitful in that Coach Morrison went to Lynchburg not only hopeful but confident that the "Blue and White" would achieve its first victory over the team of Coach "Buck" Hunt, a former Howard star. The recent cold snap seemed to have invigorated the men to such an extent that a stronger hold was taken on the positions and "teamwork" improved. The last former "H" man to report was Nurse of last years squad, who enters the Medical School. Score by Quarters: First Quarter—Howard 6; Theo., 0. Second Quarter—Howard 0; Theo., 0. Third Quarter—Howard 6; Theo., 0. Fourth Quarter—Howard 7; Theo., 0. Total—Howard, 19; Theo., 0.

The game was hard fought from start to finish. Half-back Sedgwick of Wilberforce made the only touchdown of the game by pulling a spectacular fifty yard dash for the goal. The forward passing by quarter-back Mumford to Capt. Tripp and Scotty Brown, both ends, was another feature. For State, right guard Butler starred both on offensive and defensive. Coach Taylor's men returned to Wilberforce confident that the team will make it hard for all comers. Their next hard game is with Lincoln University at Wilberforce on October 29.

Miss Burroughs is quite optimistic for this occasion and feels assured that the people are going to meet Mr. Terry's challenge. The laundry is 40 x 80 feet and is to be fully equipped by the 19th and ready for operations. Concerning the advantages of the laundry to the Training School, Miss Burroughs said: "This new laundry will save the School the Five hundred Dollars which we have been paying, annually, to other laundries to do our flat work. "It will enable us to take outside 6 ciety, including a choral and music study branch. The president and secretary of the center and the general secretary at Franklin building have heartily endorsed this program and the work was launched last Friday evening at the first meeting of the center. Mme. W. R. Dudley sang two very delightful solos accompanied by the director at this meeting which showed that good music will not be lacking during the season. Persons desiring to join in these activities at Miner should get in touch now to stimulate the movement. All teachers and musicians, choirs and singers should apply for registration at once to W. A Adams, 1911 9th Street, N. W., or to the secretary, Miss Quander. All others who are interested in the musical development of the community at large should also register, as community singing will be carried on with energy. work and in less than four years we can earn money enough to pay for the plant. "We can give employment to a number of poor girls who are begging for a chance to work and play for their education. Our Slogan is SELF HELP. And the Laundry will give us another opportunity to practice what we preach. "We can train women in the fine art of laundering and in the operation and management of home and public laundries."

A. A. M. Business and Commerce CORPORATIONS The Corporation like most other forms of business organizations, takes its rise in Roman times. In the American colonies before the Revolution, corporations were mostly educational, religious or military. They had not been introduced into business affairs. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century, with the growth of manufactures brought about by the Napoleonic wars and a consequent rise of an investing class, that the corporation really began to make strides. In 1800 it is estimated that there were not over 100 corporations, and these mostly in Massachusetts. Between 1800 and 1815 many manufacturing companies and turnpike companies were incorporated and between 1815 and 1835 a large number of canal and railway companies. Within this period, too, banking institutions spread rapidly over the country so that the corporate form of organization became thoroughly established. In New York, in 1811, the first state laws brought incorporations under state supervision. The corporation is generally termed a Company and abbreviated Co., in all of the States of the union except Louisiana, where it is termed "Limited" and takes "Ltd." for abbreviation. From the small beginning, briefly spoken of above, corporations have come to the place of honor in the modern business organization. Aside from the corporations already in existence, the annual output of new companies is enormous. The Journal of Commerce in its annual review of 1918 said: "Papers filed in the principal states for new companies with a capital of $100,000 or over involved only $2,339,749,600." That does not tell the number nor does it tell of the smaller companies which are created each year. Corporations assemble larger capital than could be gathered by individuals or partnerships. Within our group, corporations are just beginning to reach the $100,000 class and only one, the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, of Norfolk, Va., has reached the $1,000,000 class. However, we are getting in the game and getting away from "one man business." "THE MEANS TO AN END" By Patrick H. O'Donnell By Patrick H O'Donnell (Extract from an address delivered at a public meeting of the Douglass National Bank in the city of Chicago by a famous Irish orator.) (By the Associated Negro Press) "We are at the dawn of a better day for all humanity. We are about to abolish slavery forever from the face of the earth. All of the races of men have tasted of the wine of true liberty and the Negro would be less than human if he didn't drink to the fullest of the spirit which promises to make all men free and equal. Fairmount Lodge, National Ic Zenith Lodge, K. of P. Third Wednesday Lincoln Lodge, S. O. H. Wade Council St. Luke. Lincoln L. N. L. The fruits of labor form the base of all characters of wealth. The possession of wealth makes for true economic freedom. The gift of economic freedom kills every possibility of life for slavery in any of its detestable forms. In the commendable effort you are making to establish a National Bank in one of the largest cities in the world, whether you appreciate it or not you are bringing your people into closer contact with each of the activities that give our common country a first place among the greater nations of the earth. No white man can help you to rise in the social scale. You alone can do the work. This is a busy, practical world today and sentiment plays but a small part in the processes that are holding the elements of society together. Confidence, respect, courage, these are the great elemental forces. The confidence in yourselves that has prompted you to establish the Douglass National Bank in this great metropolis of the West is the first big step you have made in whatever you have planned to attain economic freedom. This bank, put on a sound financial basis will make certain whatever else your race may attempt to do in fields of big business enterprises. There is the bondage of the body and there is the bondage of the soul. We must be free of both before we can be truly emancipated. This can only be accomplished by showing confidence in your own ability and intelligence to solve the practical problems of life. Have you ever stopped long enough to realize that one day's profits of the white business men in the so-called 'Black Belt' takes that much from your chance to enjoy the economic freedom that is yours as a matter of right and justice? Do you know that the National Bank is the stabilizer and mainstay of the nation's prosperity? Can you not see, then, that a National Bank that you can call your own will bring you those situations of respect that will make you welcome in all of the greater movements for the general public good in this great city of ours? Confidence in yourselves and the full respect of the other elements of our big cosmopolitan population, I say again, will bring you the economic freedom which all men throughout the world, are eagerly seeking in these days and times. Don't be easily satisfied. Don't give too willingly an ear to praise. It takes courage to do this. What I mean is, that you have got to summon up all the courage you possess to keep from falling into the pitfalls at the bottom of which lie failure, the savage play of prejudice, economic slavery and final social elimination. You have $25,000,000 on deposit in the banks in Chicago over which you have no control. Aside from the fact that you have saved that huge amount of money, it brings you no power to use to the economic profit of your people. But the thing I wish to bring home to you is that confidence in yourselves, the wholesome respect of your neighbors and then the courage to fight valiantly for the places of economic freedom are the common sense weapons by which men get to the top in the great and worthwhile struggle for full economic freedom. Keep this bank going. Stand solidly behind the band of brave men who are working to give you an institution that will be a front rank agency to bring you quickly to the proud position of a true 100 per cent Americanism. Your place in the larger American life will be determined in larger measure than you are aware by your loyalty to your business enterprises. Lodge Directory Third Monday Hiram Lodge No. 4.

City Manager Plan Adopted The new form of city government was adopted on Tuesday of last week. Many Colored voters were noticed at the polls casting votes.. In this, as in all other matters, any new movement should get the support of the race as no condition in civics or national af- fairs can be worse than the present systems. If tried, new movements may produce advantages for the race. ‘The Citizens Welfare Association urged all voters to cast votes in favor of the plan. At its meeting stress was laid on the-fact that every person must pay poll taxes $ix months before an election, and then must register before they can vote. Persons over 21 years old and in arrears of paying taxes must pay 8 years back taxes before they can register. Capt. Holland, retired officer of the U. S. Army, informed the’ mem- bers that no person is exempt from the above law, he having to pay the three years back taxes and the fact of his being a national army man made no difference. A committee was appointed to ascer- tain whether there exists a local tru- ant officer and the same committee is to interest the parents of children who do not attend school and also to make arrangements to provide clothes for those who are found in need of such, so that they may be sent to school. Mrs. Bertha Skinner was named as hairman with Mrs. Alexander Pringle, Mrs. Catherine Holland, Mrs. Ger- trude Hopkins and Miss Irene Ran- dolph to assist her. Mrs. Bertha Philips living in Prin- cess Street, is recovering from a two week's illness.
