The Washington Tribune POLICEMAN TERRORIZES CITIZENS RETURNING HOME FROM CHURCH All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 35. With Gun in Hand Officer Threatened Many People Without Cause Last Saturday night about 12:30 o'clock, police officer J. J. Fisher of the 8th Precinct, created a near-riot in Temperance Ave., N. W. just back of the Pythian Temple on U St. Policeman Fisher, apparently full of liquor, went into this short street which is off the main line of traffic, and proceeded to terrorize the residents. As it was "Watch Meeting" night, many people were returning home, and as they entered Temperance Ave. they were confronted with a drunken policeman and a dangerous pistol which he was brandishing. The officer proceeded to hold up some of the people and took money from two of them; others ran into their homes. After clearing the street, he began breaking into the tightly locked houses, where women were screaming and children were crying, not knowing just what was going to happen to them. He broke into a house where a lady lay sick in bed and made her and all other occupants get up in a corner while he cursed at them in the most vile language. Leaving this house, the officer went to another house and after listening at the key hole, broke the door down and ran the people up stairs. By this time some one had called for help and the 8th Precinct wagon arrived with reserves. They went into the house and found Fisher coming down the stairs with a lighted lamp in his hand, which was shaking frightfully. Before breaking the lamp and setting fire to the house he was captured and carried to the 8th Precinct lock-up. Charges were preferred against him and he was suspended. By Sunday morning the officer was apparently sober and to try to keep the people he had wronged the night before from pressing their charges against him, he carried the money back to the people he had taken it from, and tried to make amends to others. The matter has been reported to Commissioner Oyster and the people are demanding the absolute removal of Fisher from the force. It is just a miracle that no serious trouble resulted from his drunken escapade. CHARLES LANE, JR. RESIGNS FROM MINER NORMAL SCHOOL JOB Mr. Chas. Lane, Jr., has placed his resignation as Librarian of Minor Normal School, in the hands of Principal E. A. Clark, to take effect February 1st. Mr. Lane announced that he is leaving the school to enter upon the practice of law and engage in other business ventures. When interviewed at the school, Prof. Clark spoke very highly of Mr. Lane and his ability and expressed regret at having to lose him. Many teachers in the school expressed the same sentiments as Prof. Clark. Just who will be Mr. Lane's successor, could not be learned, but is understood that the position, because of its importance, will have to be filled very soon. The rush of applicants for this position recalls the situation which prevailed seven years ago when Mr. Lane was appointed from among twenty applicants, after passing the first competitive examination ever held for the position. This was the occasion of the first-chair fight between Mr. Glenn then a member of the Board of Examiners and the late W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee, which brought both parties into Police Court. During the late war Mr. Lane saw service in the Judge Advocate's office on the staff of the Commanding General, 92nd division. He was appointed to Judge Advocate after long service as defendant attorney for many soldiers in America and France. "Strong As The Hills" at Dunbar High School by Howard Players, January 26-Benjamin Washington, Mgr. Published Weekly DYER BILL TO BE USED AS PAWN Southern Senators Said to Be Seeking Some Such Arrangement Will House bill number 13, known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill be used as a pawn by the Republicans in bargaining for Southern support of certain measures which they want to put thru this session of Congress? This question looms up as the result of the dilatory tactics of the Republicans in the House and by the language of the bill itself. Mr. Dyer comes from a district in Missouri in which the colored vote holds the balance of power. He has introduced a similar bill before, just in time to catch the ear of his colored voters and they have accepted his word for his sincerity which upon close examination will be found to be "insincerity." All that Mr. Dyer seeks is to be returned as a representative in the coming election in November. In his appearance before the Rules Committee to obtain a special rule to bring the bill before the House, Mr. Dyer made a very poor showing. His arguments were weak and disconnected. Senator Burton of Kansas made a far better impression on the Committee than did Mr. Dyer. The chairman of the Rules Committee, Mr. Campbell of Kansas, demonstrated more interest in the bill and its appearing before the House than did Mr. Dyer the author. Representative eSommers of Texas, who brought in a minority report against permitting the bill to go before the House, made a better showing before the Rules Committee than did Mr. Dyer. The Dyer Bill in its present form, is claimed to be unconstitutional; and J. Weldon Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P. is using that organization to hoodwink the people concerning this bill. Neither the economic nor the political salvation of the Negro lies in the enactment of more legislation; but rather in the national enforcement of the Constitution and the laws already enacted. Let the Constitution which guarantees "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" to all of its citizens, and 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution, be enforced and the Negro will be satisfied. COMMITTEE OF SEVEN TENDERED BANQUET The Committee of Seven, composed of Reverends E. D. W. Jones, C. M. Tanner, J. Milton Waldron, James L. Pinn, C. J. Henderson, W. D. Jarvis and Mr. Geo. A. Robinson, were tendered a banquet by Mr. W. H. Shields at the Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, on 23rd Street, N. W., Friday night, December 30. Mr. Shields said that he was aware of the excellent service that the Committee of Seven had rendered the race in calling the Race Conference her on the 8th and 9th of December, out of which came the "Appeal to the Nations of the Earth in Behalf of the Darker Races," presented the members of the Armament Conference here in Washington. By way of appreciation Mr. Shields took this method of "giving flowers to the living." The Sunday School rooms of the church were beautifully decorated for the occasion with evergreens and varied colored lights peeping therefrom. The word "seven" was beautifully worked into the decoration of the table. The menu was served in three courses. The members of the Committee had their wives with them and a few of their friends were invited which added socially to the occasion. Short, informing as well as inspiring speeches were made by Rev. J. (Continued on page 8) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 W. N. BOWIE CONVICTED ON SECOND CHARGE Wm. N. Bowie was tried in Chief Justice McCoy's court last Wednesday on the charge of robbing a haberdashery store in the shopping district. This is the second charge of robbery Bowie has been found guilty of and there is still another one yet to be tried. Two weeks ago in the same court, Bowie was found guilty of robbery and given a sentence of 4 years in the penitentiary. James Frye was not connected with this case, but must soon go on trial on the charge of murdering Dr. Brown. Justice McCoy remanded Bowie back to jail. Just when he would sentence him could not be learned. ATTUCKSTHEATRE NORFOLK, VA., CHANGES ITS MANAGER ATTUCKSTHEATRE NORFOLK, VA., CHANGES ITS MANAGER Former Assistant Manager J. Kelly Takes Complete Charge of House R. G. BYARS AND PIERGE OUT House is one the Most Beautiful Built by Colored Mechanics Norfolk, Va. Jan. 4—(Special to The Tribune)—The Twin City Amusement Corporation owner of the Attucks Theater of this city, announced last week the appointment of Mr. J. E. Kelley as manager. He had been assistant manager since the opening of the house. This is the third change in managers since the opening in 1920. Mr. Rufus G. Byars of Washington took the house over as manager in October and brought Mr. Billy Pierce here as house manager. The Twin City Amusement Corporation upon assurances from Mr. Byars, had expected a great success for the theater, but within two months a change in the management was made necessary. Mr. Byars' management terminated just before Christmas and Mr. Pierce departed for Washington, his home. The Attucks is one of the most beautiful Theatres in America and was built entirely with Colored capital and by Colored mechanics. It has a seating capacity of about 1000 and is modern in every respect. The week of January 9th, the famous Dunbar players now playing at the Howard Theatre in Washington will play here. Other big attractions will follow, and the new management is looking forward to success for the house. ALPHI PHI ALPHA MEETS IN BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md.—No more inspiring occasion has occurred throughout the history of Negro College life than the record-breaking 14th Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity held during the days, December 27th to 31st, 1921, inclusive, at Baltimore, Maryland, to which over three hundred Negro college men from all parts of the United States came as representatives from 38 chapters of the Fraternity located at 60 of the largest colleges and universities in America. From the opening day of the Convention, Tuesday, December 27th, the program of the Fraternity, filled with interesting and notable events, was followed through to its conclusion, Saturday, December 31st, at 12 p. m., 1921, with a report of successful results for the year and a pledge to greater efforts in uplift and service.

Talley, Executive Secretary of the National Race Congress and pastor of the first Baptist Church of Selma, was the principal speaker at the Emancipation celebration held at Vermont Avenue Baptist church, Monday, January 2nd. The National Race Congress had charge of the services. A large crowd was out and a well balanced program was rendered. The Race Congress issued a call for all organizations to meet in Washington in May to work out a nation-wide program for the welfare of the race. It is the desire of the Congress to engender more harmony between the leaders. YOUNG WOMAN SHOT TO DEATH BY HUSBAND YOUNG WOMAN SHOT TO DEATH BY HUSBAND Was Returning Home With Her When Crime Was Committed SANG IN CHURCH CHOIR Remains Were Shipped to Decatur, Ill., Her Former Home Mrs. Geneieve Young of 1520 T St. ct. K. W. was shot to death early Tuesday morning in front of 1440 T Street. Mrs. Young was well known in church circles and sang in the choir of John Wesley Church. Her body was found by pedestrians who stumbled over it on the street. Mrs. Young, Monday evening went to the home of a friend and later is said to have phoned her husband that she would spent the night there. Her husband, however, called for her about 2:00 o'clock a. m., and demanded that she accompany him home. Not desiring a scene, she dressed and started with him. She never reached her home however, as she was found dead about 4 o'clock a. m. Her husband has not been seen since and it is therefore believed that he killed her. A nation wide search has been instituted for him and the authorities have charged him with the crime. Mrs. Young's body was carried to Frazier's undertaking establishment where it was made ready for shipment to Decater, Ill., her former home. Her father is a minister. Short prayer services were held over the body just before shipping it, by Rev. Carrington. WORLD AFFAIRS ENGROACH ON BANQUET Wit, humor and merrimaking dominated the third annual banquet of the Georgetown Civic Association last Thursday night, at the Odd Fellows Hall, 28th Street and Dumbarton Avenue. There was something doing from the advent of the banqueters into the hall, (which was especially decorated for this occasion) until the closing hour, one a. m. As soon as the guests were assembled around the four long tables, the fun began. Suddenly the lights were out and a bunch of Ku Kluxers entered the room robed and hooded—but they were met by a determined bunch of men with arms drawn, who said that they represented the B. L. A. and were determined to put the Ku Klux out of business. Taking them at their word, the robed figures quietly slipped out of the hall and disappeared in the darkness of the night. The phone broke the silence following the disappearance of the Ku Klux. Someone desired to know if Dr. C. J. Pride was there and if he had his rear light on his car and his driver's permit, for he was picked up on leaving the second annual banquet without either. (Continued on page 8) RACE'S POLITICAL OPPORTUNITIES ENHANCED BY PENROSE'S DEATH Office: 920 U St., N. W. "Link" Johnson Poison Ivy of Politics His Endorsement Said to Have Caused Senator to Withdraw Support The political bee is yet buzzing regarding the Recordership of Deeds for the District of Columbia, since Henry L. Johnson failed of confirmation by the Senate. The latest information is that W. H. Lewis, of Boston was offered the job of Recorder and had the courage and good sense to decline. When Lewis declined, it is said that Senator Lodge supported Wm. C. Matthews for the place. Matthews was recently appointed U. S. District Attorney in Massachusetts. When Senator Lodge was informed that Link Johnson was backing Matthews for the place, he forthwith withdrew his support of Matthews, as if Link's support was the "poison ivy" of politics. C. H. Lott, of Indianapolis apparently heads the list for this position. Senator New of Indiana comes up for re-election this fall and, judging from the hard fight that Senator James Watson had in Indiana in 1920, Senator New is anxious to do something for his colored henchmen as sop for their support this coming fall. Senator New is aware of the fact that had it not been for the colored vote in 1920, Senator Watson of Indiana would not be in the Senate today But, if Link Johnson is favorable to Mr. Lott, Senator New it is said will look for another candidate. The fact that the leader of the Senate shrinks from supporting any one in touch with Henry Lincoln Johnson is an unusual one and merits consideration of political leaders. RELIEF FOR ALLEY DWELLERS SOUGHT The only practical solution to the housing of the people in the alleys (who will be forced to move according to a law passed by Congress) has been advanced by Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, who is the head of the "Emergency Housing Association." This association was given a hearing before the Commissioners on Friday morning. Just what the Commissioners will do could not be learned. The solution of the Emergency Housing Association is, that the District Commissioners ask Congress for a law which would permit the issuing of $6,000,000 in bonds. The returns from the sale of the bonds to be used to purchase ground and build modern houses to be rented to the people who must leave the alleys. These bonds would not be issued by the District, but would only be guaranteed by the District, which would in no way add to the taxation of the people. As there is a ready market now for such bonds, they could easily be sold. The investment would be one of the safest in the District and so profitable that it would pay for itself within less than 20 years. It could also be arranged so that those who desired to buy could do so, and at the end of 10 years would own their own homes free from all debt. The proposition is a safe and sane one and conforms to the most approved methods of present day financing. Something must be done soon, because the owners of alley property have not made any improvements since the first passing of the alley evacuation law in 1916. Many of the houses are now run down and are not fit for human habitation. The conditions under which the people in them live is such that sickness is always prevalent. The children have no places to play, and in consequence, there is a high mortality rate among them. Dr. Waldron is asking all civic and Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS Party fights for Leadership May be Used as Stepping Stones The death of Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania in the last hour of 1921, threw consternation in the Republican camp in Washington. His going marks the passing of the last real, national, political boss. Penrose was the Republican party, and it has been said that President Harding owes his position to Senator Penrose. The President maker and boss has gone with no one to fill the role as he has filled it. The leadership of the G. O. P. had about gotten away from the one-man-boss business. It is now being led by cliques, coteries and blocs, without any definite leadership dominating the party as Mark Hanna, Murray Crane, Senators Quay and Penrose did. It had already been decided that this would be a hard year for the Republicans in the November election because they have failed to do anything worthy of returning them to power. It has often been mentioned that the colored voter would have a good opportunity to show the Republican party that he would not follow it on blindly without due recognition. But in the death of Senator Penrose, a new opportunity comes to the Colored voter and he should take advantage of it and make it count for all that it is worth. The whole house and 33 members of the Senate come up for re-election this fall. Of the Senators, 18 are Republicans and 15 Democrats. In the House there are 301 Republicans out of the 435 members. This large majority of 167 in the House cannot be maintained after the November election this year. With the proper organization, the colored voters, in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Kentucky and possibly Tennessee could decide just who some of these members of both the House and the Senate should be. In the reorganization that is taking place within the Republican ranks, brought on by the passing of Penrose, strife will more than likely be engendered and factions ensue. While the factions are striving for ascendency, the Negro has the chance of bargaining and by well conceived plans, will be enabled to obtain power, prestige, and something more than a promise. Leadership and power in the Republican Party is gradually passing from the East to the middle West. The States of the Mississippi Valley are in the ascendency and the colored voters are a factor in these states. They have an excellent opportunity to get what they want, if they know what they want. From Penrose and Pennsylvania, the powerful chairmanship of the great Finance Committee in the Senate goes to Senator McCumber of North Dakota, who is also second from the top on the Foreign Relations Committee. On this same committee, Senator Borah, of Idaho, is only two places below Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. With McCumber taking the chairmanship of the Finance Committee, Borah is next in line for the chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee. Therefore, corn, wheat, hogs and beef are more than likely to dominate the banks, steel and textiles of the East, in the leadership of the Republican Party. The West expects to take over the job of leadership, if the operation of the farm bloc amounts to anything. There will be a struggle, however, for the East is not going to lay down its mantle of power without a fight. With this struggle comes the Negro's opportunity. Will he avail himself of it by throwing his balance of power in the districts where he is a factor to bargain in the interest of his race or will personal aggrandizement enter into the equation and abort the opportunity? charitable organization of the city to co-operate with his association in helping to relieve this condition. Welfare workers declare that the number of alley dwellers is between 12,000 and 14,000—most of whom are colored. THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE By Herbert J. Seligmann VIII. (This is the eighth of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America" who is now director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) History tells of no greater incongruity than an armament conference in Washington at which statesmen scrap a few instruments for quick killing of people while the victims of slow starvation and disease are dying by millions in Russia and Central Europe—and may before long be dying in other countries.

When as a consequence of this criminal stupidity, famine and the bottomless pit of social disorganization open out before the eyes of those statesmen and they realize that their cowardly assaults upon Russia and Austria produce eventually unemployment, unrest, danger to themselves and their jobs at home, then the talk is of an economic conference. What is to be the nature of this economic conference? One would think that, confronted with the world's misery, the statesmen would unite. But French statesmen continue to demand the pound of flesh from Germany's heart, the German prime minister announces that Germany simply cannot pay, and London bankers decline to lend money to Germany to put her on her feet unless there is some assurance that French statesmen will not seize that money. Meanwhile the German Banker, Hugo Stinnes, announces a new plan for the industrial and commercial exploitation of Russia, in which he hopes to interest English and French bankers. Thus, it looks as if statesmen and bankers, instead of admitting bankruptcy at home and striving to deal with it, were still loking for new regions to plunder. It makes no difference whether the region to be plundered is Russia or China or Africa. Under the circumstances every bit of Under the circumstances every bit of navy to protect it is in jeopardy. For the "security" that bankers and diplomats are looking for is always in the land belonging to someone else. Having denied recognition for over three years to a Russian government which has successfully resisted all the pirates sent against it, the statesmen and bankers of the allied governments now want to "exploit" Russia industrially. The bankruptcy of the statesmen and bankers of the world, it is becoming evident, is moral as well as financial. They and the newspapers have lied the people into war. They have been lying to the people about Russia and Germany, about "inferior" races and the white man's burden, and they find it less difficult to continue lying than to stop. The alternative to lying is to admit mismanagement at home, and this will not do.

It is the tyranny of money that has followed the tyranny of kings and czars and that tyranny is with us yet. Unless Europe and the rest of the world can be organized so that the primary aim is not making money for someone, then the future of the European peoples is dark indeed and that dark future will eventually stare the people of the United States in the face. For the present condition of Europe the United States has its share of responsibility. We helped blockade Russia, whose government the United States has even now not recognized. We threw in prison those who protested against the sending of American soldiers to fight Russians. We have loaned money to European governments without seeing to it that that money was used for purposes of peace instead of for armies and navies. If we forgive European powers those loans without insisting on a reduction of those armies and navies, then we are helping Europe to prepare for the final destructiveness of more war. That makes all the more dangerous the enormous power which has come to us.The United States dollar is rapidly becoming the standard of world currency. Much of the world's gold is in the United States. Other countries are printing paper money which is, much of it worthless. In this gold, the United States possesses a powerful instrument. Gold cannot be eaten. It does not protect the body from freezing. But it can be used to procure food and clothing and shelter. The gold of the United States could repair broken faiths in Europe, save lives, set the remaining wheels turning and plows and harrows and harvesters moving. It would be worth while for America to make huge presents of money to Europe, not only to relieve starvation but to set up the industry, farming and railroads with which to fight hunger and cold. That would be making of money an instrument, a servant instead of a master, and once put in its place, it could be made to bring about freedom instead of enslavement.

By the way of contrast, merge these two groups of ARTISTS into one common whole and there well have the flood-gates of music opened so wide that the very heavens would shake with resounding melody. What do you know of these musicians, some of them or all of them? Have you heard many of them or read about some or all of that brilliant galaxy of musical stars? If not, rub up your intellectual memory and learn of them. Many of us specialize on the history of white musicians and can tell all about them but know little, if anything at all about our own race artists. Why not gain intimate knowledge of our own musicians as well and learn of their great careers? We hear so many of our musicians praising great white musicians to the sky but never a word about their own. How can they expect others to praise their efforts along this line if they neglect so great and important an opportunity which is rightfully due their race? Many of us spend from one to two dollars to hear white artists and complain at spending fifty cents to hear our own. It's a crying shame that such is the case. Why many of our local citizenry hardly appreciate the masterly musical ability of Roy Tibbs, Mary Europe, Estelle Pinckney and others, and yet rave over some foreign entrant. Why isn't it possible to pay one or two dollars with pleasure to hear some of our own great artists as easily as going down town to some jim-crow theatre and pay the same to hear some white artist? Certainly, go and hear white artists, they're worth it no doubt but as well, we should encourage our own sometimes with first-class support without protestation afterwards. Shame on New York New York City has one of the biggest, if not the biggest Negro population of any town of the world, over one hundred and fifty-eight thousand. Ocala, Florida, has one of the smallest Negro populations of any town in the world, about twenty-five hundred. Ocala has a Negro bank, but new york (and we write it with small letters on purpose), has no Negro bank. In Ocala, is a Negro farmer who is one of the greatest farmers in the world. He has 800 acres of well-kept land and 21 miles of fence. Just consider one single product of his farms; in a single season he may ship one hundred carloads of melons, and for a single car of melons he receives hundreds of dollars. And he clears all these accounts and deposits his money in that Negro Bank. But in new york most of the money-making Negroes are afraid of the very idea of a Negro bank. In Ocala, the Colored people have a knitting mill, and black women and girls are seated at complicated knitting machines, making underwear which they sell to merchants in New York City, and those white merchants in turn sell this underwear to the Colored people little old New York. In Ocala (where there are only 2500 Colored folks, mind you) there are several general merchants, drug stores and many other businesses run by Colored folk, and the Colored people patronize them. Consequently one of the best departments stores in Ocala is owned by a black man—and that Black Man does Business through that Negro Bank. Are you "getting it"?—In New York the Colored folk of Harlem could own and support one of the best department stores in the United States, if only they could trust each other—and they would concentrate their financial power in banks and insurance to back up business. The greatest power of the poor is their buying and consuming power, if they organized it and concentrated it. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 Wm. Pickens him out." "The horse is blanketed and cooling off, Lord James," frowned Al, his eyes snapping his displeasure an instant. "You must be joking. I'm Sunbeam's trainer. This racer needs a certain amount of rest for recuperation; and I'll see that he gets it." Thro' it all he didn't cringe or weaken as he clipped his words straight from the shoulder. "A trainer!" sneered Lord Grayson's son with an irascible curl of his thin lips. "You're nothing but a crapshooting jockey. Now step lively and fetch Sunbeam out for another mile. He must equal Blue Streak's time, or I'll——" He ground his teeth together because his evident anger was too great for mere words. "Nope," grunted Al with a note of finality in his tone. What did this young stripling know about training? Gymnastics in college, perhaps. But beyond that, his education in training had been sadly neglected. The fellow's domineering desire to trample rough-shod over everybody—except his father—had kept him from making friends easily despite the added distinction of a titled parent. In England they are titles; America subtitles. "You're fired, Al Mason!" stormed James in a white heat. "Yes, you're done. You'll learn who's giving orders around here and how to take my orders." "Fired?" questioned Al with a proud lift of his head. "That's no cause for slow marching. Let me see the color of your check book!" Angrily beside himself, James Grayson paid Al his month's wages. Quitting the place was like leaving home to Al—and Sunbeam was such a wonderful piece of horse-flesh. He stroked the sleek neck of the animal and slowly walked away with the bag marked Sunbeam. Yes, he could take that, since he had purchased it for his favorite horse. The persuasions of Lord Grayson fell on deaf ears; and Al was gone. He might be of service to Tom Lincoln, he reflected. They were colored—and it wouldn't be disloyal to the Graysons if he rode Blue Streak to victory in the Grandole handicap. It would be a mild form of revenge in the bargain. Big bluff Tom Lincoln engaged Al as a jockey. While the latter sized up Blue Streak and Jockaleen, Tom's sister Letty approached him. "Mr. Mason!" began Letty in a hushed whisper. "Are you sure Blue Streak will win? My brother has bet heavily on his horses; and if he loses we'll be practically destitute. Isn't there some way to stop it?" The velvet-brown eyes looked sad and wistful, as she brushed flowing hair from exquisite cheeks of yellow satin. "Let him lose," grunted Al. "He'll learn better." Covertly his eyes kindled with admiration at her charm and loveliness and naive manner. "But he can't afford to lose," she went on in deep concern. "I'd give anything to have him win that race! Will you do all you can?" "I will," he assured her. As she tripped off relieved, Al was stirred with mixed feelings. While reconnoitering the Lincoln stables for the night. Al heard a sharp report ring out in the night's stillness. Blue Streak fell over dead. When he hurried toward the horse a second shot followed which tore thro' the fleshy part of AI's right leg. He dropped down limply in some straw and swore softly, as three masked figures scurried off in the dark. A crowd of neighbors rushed to his assistance. Letty Lincoln bathed the wound with deft and nimble fingers and made him comfortable. Silence reigned concerning the shooting of Blue Streak. Jockaleen was expected to take up the burden of winning the handicap. Al's condition rendered him unable to ride a horse. But on the day of the race he limped out among the gay folk where frenzied hordes jammed around the betting stand. "You look like a traitor," he heard at his elbow. The dulcet contralto voice of Letty Lincoln caused him to turn sharply as he flushed at the words. "I'm not a traitor!" he hurled back at her, half angry. "Why the nose-bag stamped Sunbeam?" she interrogated with a lift of her brows. "To worry the inquisitive." He could have bitten out his tongue after he had uttered the words, for her glance of scorn was unbearable. Sunbeam entered the race a favorite and Jockaleen stood an outside chance of coming home with the money. At the sound of the gong and the shout "they're off." Al walked over to the backstretch and leaned against the fence. Jockaleen took the lead at once; at six furlongs, Sunbeam running second was fast closing the gap; then they ran neck and neck. As they burst into the last furlong, Sunbeam was leading by one and a half lengths. strength of the Community, and not of the banker. And as long as this strength is given by one group (the Colored) into the hands of another group (the whites for example), the one group is simply surrendering so much of its strength into the keeping of that other group. With this power that other group may build hotels where the Negro cannot even wash the dishes, and theatres where he cannot even sit in the "third heaven," and capitalize business where the Negro will only have the further privilege of spending more money. There are thousands of businesses in the United States supported "by Colored trade" in which the Negro can only sweep the floor and take orders. "JOCKALEEN" A Short Story by Lewis Hillman He had keen brown eyes—eyes with the knowledge of generations upon them—eyes that refused to open wide in astonishment at anything that transpired. Thus stolidly he sat his saddle after riding Sunbean around the dirt track to the time of 2:01. A slow reluctant smile lifted the corners of his mouth, then let them droop ere the smile matured. He had the nonchalancy of a sage, though he was only twenty-six. After a bit of hesitancy this autumn-brown jockey perfunctorily pulled his hundred and eighteen pounds from the saddle, yet, with a measured unconscious deliberation before the group that had witnessed the try-out. For years Al Mason had been a combination of trainer and jockey in the Grayson stables and integrity was his religion. He was beyond bribe, talked little, knew every angle of his calling in a modest way and had many friends. Unbuckling the saddle he whistled softly while Sunbeam trotted to the stable. "She made great time on the mile," appreciately grinned Lord Grayson, the English owner of much repute. What with his smartness of dress, the sprinkling gray about the temples and the way he smoked his cigar, one could hardly fail to put him down as a titled man. In recent years he had stables in Ra Tonia and stayed in this country to specialize in blooded stock of thoroughbreds. "With proper care Sunbeam will long be one of the best horses of the turf," replied Al, smartly slapping his saddle with his quirt. Then, as he turned to leave, Lord Grayson's son James drove up in his high-powered car and jumped out excitedly. "Father!" he heard the young man say. "I've just witnessed a Lincoln horse on a trial run. Those colored people have a horse called Blue Streak that ran a mile in 2:00%. Damn if he aint a blue streak too." Al Mason didn't tarry to hear more more. At the barn he blanketed the horse restively; he could tel something was in the wind. Lord Grayson might buy the other horse and put many minds at rest. If he was unable to do that there was no telling what young Grayson would do. The senior man was a royal prince and it was regrettable he couldn't think as well of the son as he did of the father. He never tried to analyze his instinctive dislike for the former; yet, the impression was there to stay. An irresistible curiosity welled up within him to know what would be done about the fact that another race-hores could outdistance Sunbeam. The Lincolnhes knew well. That family had turned out a winner—yes, many a winner from their blue grass graze land. They busied with the breeding and selling end and never entered the racing game. The reason was obvious. But from James Grayson's vocal explosion he felt sure that Tom Lincoln, of the younger and livelier generation, was going to try his hand at the races—colored people seldom broached the subject of an entry, to say nothing of actually doing that very thing. The closest on record was an instance where a Negro "flash" bought a second rater—an old jaded plug—and the best time made by I'M-TRYING in the workouts was 2:50 for the mile. For some time Al suspected that Blue Streak and Jockaleen were being primed for a race; but the Graysons had nothing to fear in the way of competition aside from the horse that cut the wind like a streak. Still, Jockaleen wasn't so very much slower. Musing Al picked up a nose-bag marked Sunbeam. The horse knew his name and bag so well he refused to eat from other bags. Al fed him any way it suited his fancy. Playfully he made Sunbeam reach hither and thither for his bag of oats. He never maltreated the sleek brown sire nor overworked him. His very peculiar whistle always brought Sunbeam whinnying with tossing head to be petted and fondled—a custom among all good horses. Al turned his head and gave up the bag to the horse when he heard a voice at the stable door saying: "Bring Woodson, Vaughn and Ferguson ARCHITECTS Phone North 7798 1353 U St., N.W. Washington, D.C.

With J. Lawrence Criner in the center position, being ably supported by Andrew Bishop, Cleo Desmond, Charles Moore, Lionel Mongas and the other exceptionally well-trained members of the cast, the play was really put over in fine style with no apparent misinterpretations noted. Criner as Stanwix, was truly a typical 7th and T street lounge lizard of very recent date and as such he pulled off some 7th and T Street stuff that was indeed amazing; in fact, the story was of "The Spider" spread like wild-fire—among the "Pee-Eyes" and according to one of their number, the haunts of the cakies have been miserably deserted. However, they all agree that the show places them conspicuously in the lime-light this week. Andrew Bishop, in the role of a New York "dy-cop" was really on the job and he unloaded several tons of rough stuff.

High Class Vaudeville at the Dudley Houses Novelty Acts On Every Bill During the past few weeks a complete revolution in the administration and character of entertainment has been effected in the S. H. Dudley houses and a pleasing increase in patronage has been noted. The crying need for variety in Negro vaudeville is fast becoming extinct, Mr. Dudley is sparing neither pains nor money in bringing the country's best performers to this city. Washington patrons are exceedingly fortunate in that all new acts that play in the Dudley houses are required to make their initial bows in one of his local houses. There will be many new faces seen in the Dudley houses here during the present season. That Mr. Dudley controls the Negro vaudeville situation is an undisputed fact. He is the founder of the first Negro Booking Agency in the United States and today, nearly every theatre in the country that plays colored vaudeville is wholly dependent on his booking offices for talent. Mr. Dudley has played in 95 per cent of all the theatres in the United States and there is not a more capable showman to be found anywhere. Just keep your eye on the Dudley houses. "Strong as the Hills" "Strong as the Hills," a play written from a book by the same name, is being rehearsed by the Howard Players for presentation at Dunbar High School on January 26, with a matinee performance for school children, only on January 28, 1922.

Washington) (By arrangements with Mr. Benj. Washington, official American Basket Ball referee, he will answer questions pertaining to basket ball, in these columns each week. This is the first installment of Mr. Washington's articles.—Ed) Will you kindly advise me, thru your columns, under what rule the referee, in the basket ball game between Wilberforce and Y. M. C. A., last night allowed the Y. M. C. A. team TWO free throws for a foul committed by the visitors? Answer—Rule 15, Section 14:—A player shall not charge into, push, hold or otherwise foul an opponent who is in the ACT OF THROWING FOR THE BASKET. Penalty—Two free trials. The offender shall be charged with one personal foul, or may be disqualified. Time out was called for by a player but not allowed by the referee. I thought a player could call time out at his pleasure. Answer—Rule 11, Section 1:—Time shall be taken out at the request of a CAPTAIN only when HIS team is in possession of the ball, except in case of injury. In the case mentioned, the captain's team did NOT have possession of the ball, nor was a player injured; hence the referee did not grant the request. On a free throw by the Wilberforce team the ball went into the basket, but was disallowed. Why? Answer—Rule 14, Section 2:—A player shall not while making a free throw for goal, touch or cross the free throw line until the ball has touched the basket or backboard, or consume more than ten seconds in making a free throw. The Wilberforce player crossed the line before the ball touched the backboard, ostensibly to be under the basket in case the ball failed to enter. There is no prohibition to his being under the basket, but he violated the rule by crossing the free throw line too soon. Critic and expert trainer is in charge of the production, and according to her belief this will be the most stupendous effort of the Howard Players since their appearance before the public. The play is given under the auspices of the Dunbar Advisory Council, consisting of the following representatives of the various community centers: Charles S. Hill, Miner Normal Center, president; Andrew Washington, Burrville Center, secretary; Daniel E. Freeman, Garnet-Phelps Center, treasurer: Mrs. Louisa Frye, Birney Center; Arthur Jessup, Deanwood Center; Henry H. Naylor, Lovejoy Center; Rev. G. O. Fisher, Randall Center; George T. Beason, West Washington Center; Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools; Walter L. Smith, Principal Dunbar High School; Miss Anita J. Turner, Executive Secretary at Dunbar Center; and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, Assistant Director Community Centers. The Board of Education is heartily approving the presentation largely due to the fact that the author is a High School student, and the beneficiaries are the children of our play grounds. Miss Matalee Lake, the talented young author, is but fifteen years of age, a student of the Western High School, and has traveled very extensively in her desire to perfect the plans for the conception which she has so beautifully portrayed. Ancient Persia offers the field of operation while the costumes and customs of the far east are so accurately carried out in the production that to witness the performance is not only inspiring but historically correct. See local papers next week for additional informatoin. FONTAINE La RUE IN PICTURE Fontaine La Rue, a charming screen player well known for her portrayals in De Mille Paramount productions, has an excellent role in Ethel Clayton's new picture, "Exit—the Vamp," which will be shown at the Howard Theatre Supper Show next Wednesday. Miss La Rue is seen as a vamp who is outvamped by another woman and put to rout. In the cast are such players as T. Roy Barnes, Theodore Roberts and William Boyd. Carlisle Five Split Even on Trip The Carlisle basketers journeyed north Monday and made a most creditable showing. The matinee game with the Spartans resulted in a victory for the latter by the score of 42-28 but the Titans of Orange, N. J., were taken into camp on their own court, 15-14. When it is taken into consideration that the locals played a double-header and also traveled from New York to Orange their showing can be more appreciated. Morris, Taylor and Hill were the outstanding players for the locals in both games. The Spartans "Braves" presented an all-star five including Slocum, Sessom, Wallace and others. Y HumblesWilberforce Before a crowd Tuesday night that packed the capacity of the 12th Street Y. M. C. A. gymnasium the local "Y" quint nosed out the Wilberforce five by the score 23-21. It was a bitterly contested battle all the way but marred slightly by undue roughness. The margin of the score would have been greater had the locals had someone able to toss goals effectively from the 15 foot line. Only one goal was registered out of 19 attempts. Tyler, Baker and Cozens were the outstanding players for the "Y" courtmen while Hall's shooting from the floor and foul line and McGee's guarding featured the playing of the visitors. The preliminary game between the girls of the Y. W. C. A. and those of the National Training School resulted in a victory for the former, 17-7, Miss Anita Gant was the whole show and accounted for all the winners points. The Training School five is coached by Miss Gertrude Curtis and the Y. W. team by Miss Florence Brooks. Y. M. Positions Wilberforce Tyler L.F. Mason Baker R.F. Hall Cozens Center Hudson Rush L.G.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 ```markdown ``` Let The Tribune Rent your Rooms or Sell your House There are hundreds of satisfied advertisers who have easily rented their rooms through this paper. The proof of the drawing power of the Tribune ads lie in the fact that it has carried more ads of this type than any other paper. Therefore remember to call the Tribune's office the next time you desire to rent your room, sublet your apartment or buy a home. Its CLASSIFIED SECTION will serve you. THE ADVERTISING policy of THE TRIBUNE, like its news policy, has been a distinct feature within itself. During the nearly nine months just closing, THE TRIBUNE has carried more paid advertisements from Colored merchants than all local papers combined. This great record has established THE TRIBUNE as the greatest local advertising medium. Its advertising policy is as fixed and rigid as its news policy, thereby insuring its readers and advertisers alike a square deal. THE TRIBUNE, through its added facilities and more experienced staff of reporters, will be much better prepared to serve the people of Washington and the country during the coming year than during the past. SERVICE will be the slogan of THE TRIBUNE during 1922, and in order to give better service, each department has been reorganized and placed in the hands of competent men. THE TRIBUNE has from its very first issue, been the first paper with authentic news. Whenever a big news story broke, THE TRIBUNE either carried an exclusive account of it or the fullest and most authentic story. With a much better trained staff, the people of Washington may rest assured that THE TRIBUNE will continue to lead the field during the coming year. Believing that the citizens of this city and country desire to have the best possible newspaper, THE TRIBUNE re-dedicates itself to the task of advancing journalism here as well as elsewhere to a higher plane by rendering the best possible SERVICE during 1922.

John was a religious young man, gifted in prayer and given to a piety that smacked of hypocrisy. He stayed in the woods while Henry went to the city to handle the gregarious portions of the Remalie lumber business, then on its way to a million. John never married. Once he had planned to marry. He built a magnificent stone castle to house his bride. Suddenly without warning or reason, he broke off his engagement and altered the appearance of the house. He made it a grim, prison-like structure and moved in with a Miss Labo, daughter of a camp cook, as his housekeeper. She was a silent woman, and for twenty-seven years she had said no unnecessary word to him. In the city Henry had married and of the union there came a beautiful girl, Dorcas, who grew to eighteen in luxury, the tempestuous blood of the forest coursing unseen in her veins under a veneer of education and culture. Dorcas had only met John Remalie once, and that was at the funeral of her beloved father. She disliked her uncle intensely. When the will of Henry Remalie was read it provided that his daughter should become the ward of his brother and stay within his house until she had become of age. Into Weird Surroundings Rebelliously Dorcas left for the woods, a spoiled and pampered child of wealth. With her went a maid and five trunks. Miss Labo met her at the door—sullenly. An hour later John Remalie arrived from his lumber office at the mill and told her that her sinful soul would have to mend before she could reap the benefits of his pleasure. They sat down to a frugal meal, unctuously eaten with a pall of hypocritical piety hanging over the forbidding room like a shroud. Dorcas was miserably unhappy and rebellious. In a few days Dorcas, with feminine instinct, senses that something is wrong with John Remalie and his whole scheme of life. She cannot understand the sullen housekeeper and trembles with a foreboding of evil. In the town comes Jevons, a splendid figure of a young man, but a person of mystery. No one knows why he is there and every one likes him for his cheerful manner, and his open frankness in everything except himself. Jevons Enters Her Life Particularly interested in Jevons is Sloan, Remalie's camp foreman, who wants Dorcas for her beauty, and fears the presence of any other man in the village, particularly one as clean as Jevons. On a pretense he picks a fight with Jevons and is thrashed for his trouble. Accidently Dorcas meets Jevons, and while despising lumber-jacks, is surprised at his apparent education. The girl and the man becomes interested in one another until Dorcas overhears a conversation Sign On The Door "The Sign on the Door" Considered One of the Best Norma Talmadge Pictures At Hiawatha Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 9-10. In "The Sign on the Door," Norma Talmadge, incomparable emotional actress of the silent drama is seen at her best in the most interesting and absorbing screen vehicle yet given to this talented star. "The Sign on the Door," which is to show at Hiawatha Monday and Tuesday, January 9th and 10th is a screen version of Channing Pollock's highly successful stage play of the same name, and to merely say that it is a creditable one would be putting the facts very mildly indeed. A splendid plot is extremely well presented on the screen. The story concerns Ann Hunniwell, a pretty stenographer, who, through no fault of her own, is compromised by her employer's scapegrace son. Later, when she marries a man of high character and social standing, the fellow comes into her life again. He is in which Miss Labo tells a certain mysterious visitor that she is his mother and that John Remalie is his father. Dorcas has reason to believe that the visitor is Jevons. She is torn with anguish. Jevons announces that he is going to compete with Remalie in the lumber business and begins constructing a mill. Remalie plans to have him put out of the way, perhaps unctuously, but nevertheless effectively. Sloan is to do the work. Remalie leaves for Boston so as to be absent when Jevons is killed. The housekeeper, to get his fortune for her son as the only heir, tries to poison Dorcas. She leaves the grim house and goes to live with the three Ginger brothers, uncouth but mighty men of the forest, who swear to protect her. Jevons saves her from annoyances at the hands of Sloan. She learns that Jevons is not the mysterious visitor. She is thrilled by Jevons' plans of getting his logs to the mill and outwitting the timber baron, Remalie. They soon become sweethearts. She pledges to carry on his work in case aught happens to the young lumberman. The day is set for pitting of forces—on one side the wit of Jevons and the loyalty of his crew—ex-service men who had fought under him in France—and on the other, the hireing lumber-jacks of the Remalie interests. **Jevons a Prisoner** On the morning of the day word reaches Doreas that Jevons is missing. Sloan has taken him prisoner and bound him in a deserted cabin. Doreas, thinking Jevons is dead, goes to finish his job. She arrives at the Jevons logging camp in time to see the two forces engage in conflict. She spurs the minions of Jevons. The tide of battle turns against them, however, so she determines to outwit her uncle's forces by desperate means. She sets off the fuse which blows up the dam behind which Jevons had stored millions of gallons of river water and thousands of logs. The liberated water roars down the dry river bed, the logs rolling and tumbling on their way to the mills below. It is then she learns from Sloan that Jevons is helpless in a cabin directly in the path of the flood. Then begins a terrific race between the rushing waters and the girl on horseback. She is too late to reach the cabin, but soon overtakes Jevons who is floating down unconscious on a section of the cabin floor. He rapidly is approaching a cataract. Forsaking her horse, Dorcas takes to the river, jumping from log to log—sometimes falling between them. She reaches Jevons in the nick of time and hauls him to safety. The rule of the lumber baron is broken. So is his spirit. Dorcas inspires him to honor and right and prevails upon him to marry Miss Labo, so that Sloan, their son, can hold up his head again. Then, with Jevons, her happiness is complete. At Dunbar Theatre four days—Monday to Thursday, next week. Norma Talmadge killed in a struggle with her husband. The husband,does not know that his wife has witnessed the tragedy. An extraordinary denouncement follows Jeyons a Prisoner her act in summoning the police and accusing herself of the shooting. In this production Norma takes full advantage of the opportunities for dramatic and emotional acting in wonderful fashion. And the technique and artistry of Herbert Brenon, who directed "The Sign on the Door," is apparent throughout the production. The star has excellent support, Charles Richman is seen as her leading man, and others prominent in the cast are Lew Cody, David Proctor, Helen Weir and Paul McAllister. "The Sign on The Door" was adapted for the screen by Mary Murillo and Herbert Brenon. It is a First National attraction. "Discontented Wives" Drama of Human Nature To be Shown at Hiawatha You do not have to be a discontented wife to enjoy the program at the Hiawatha Theatre Thursday and Friday, Jan. 12 and 13, the feature of which is "Discontented Wives," a Playgoers photodrama starring J. P. McGowan. It is a very human story Fred Windemere tells of a wife whose discontent arose out of hardships and a J.P.McGoway Discontented Wives loneliness she had never before endured, and whose selfish nature battled with her better self. Fritzi Brunette gives a very intelligent and sympathetic performance of the wife, and J. P. McGowan is virile and powerful as the husband.

LLOVE A GOOD JOKE Recently a little friend told me that he believed I didn’t like jokes. He said that white magazines for child- ren contained jokes. Now the reason I do not publish jokes on the Page is because jokes can be found in many sourees but Negro history and Ne- groes’ accomplishments can not. The space here is limtied and as this is 9 chance to advance the children who want to know the best concerning the race, all of the space is given to Ne- gro lore. TI do love a good joke. Do not be ‘too severe with me because I leave ‘out the jokes, any mpre so than be- eae inave oe oto general in- formation. Look in your church, pub- Iie, or school libraries and see what an array of books for amusements— but look further and see how many books you find dealing with those higher facts which will prove a source of encouragement and inspiration to you. Here are a few of my favorite smiles: A little Negro school girl, down in Florida, in answer to the question, “What is anatomy?” is credited with this composition: “Anatomy is the human body. It is Jivided into three parts, the haid, the heist, and the stummick. The haid roldes the skull and the brains if hey is any, the cheist holdes the liver and part of the lites, and the stum- mick holdes the entrails and the vowels, which are a, e, i, o and u and some- times w and y.” Another one is: “A child’s composi- tion on a Cat.”— “A eat has whiskers around his mouth to feel. If he hadn't these whiskers, he vould almost be useless. He also has whiskers around the eyes; these are necessary to see with. With- out whiskers around his eyes or nose and mouth he could not smell, feel, or see, and a dog could come right up to the cat without the eat knowing it and, could bite him. A cat is very wise, and all this wiseness that the cat has| mostly comes from her whiskers, so that is why a cat has them.” Jimmy, aged 5, was being prepared for bed. Mother hunted high and low but nowhere could she find his night- own. “Well, Jimmy,” she said, “you'll have to wear sister’s nightgown just for tonight.” Jimmy drew himself up haughtily. “What!” he exclaimed. (“Wear a girl's?” “Yes, why not?” “I won't wear a gitl’s nightgown. Td rather go to bed raw.” Now I hope I have vindicated my- self and to my many little stranger friends Td like to state I'm not a Kill-joy and I do love good jokes and smiles, TUMBLE IN Tumble in!

We appreciate such an interest because it is our aim to reach and acquaint as many of our children as possible with some of the reasons for being proud of being a Negro. We would greatly appreciate com- munications from teachers, passing on to others the plans they use in this particular. We show that we lack personal pride every time we use the word “nigger.” By C.

The first week of the new year has passed and we are rocking along in the same old ruts. Many have forgotten their resolutions and have drifted into the same old ways. There are some things that the 115,000 colored people of this city should set out for as objectives to be obtained this year. The first objective should be more classrooms; and the replacement of some of the old, unsanitary and antiquated school buildings. The Parent-Teachers' Associations, the various Civic Associations and even individuals should appear before the District Committee at the hearing on the appropriations for this purpose and enter a strong and manly protest against cutting the appropriations for new school buildings and more play-grounds for our children. How many will go before the Committee this week in the interest of more and better school buildings? The second objective should be bathing facilities for the 115,000 colored people of the District of Columbia. If a bathing beach is necessary, beneficial and serviceable for three out of four of the District's inhabitants, why is it not necessary, beneficial and serviceable for the one out of four of the inhabitants? We represent one fourth of the inhabitants of the District and desire the same sanitary, bathing facilities that the three fourths enjoy. This matter should be brought to the attention of the District Committee on Capitol Hill by every organization that can comamnd a committee to appear before the District Committee in its hearing on the District's affairs. Who will take up this important matter before the Committee this next week? The third objective should be better housing facilities. It is a crime, a damnable shame, the enormous rent that is being charged by some of these landlords who are devoid of conscience regarding the renting of some of these shells—misnamed houses, for human beings to occupy. The "alley law" will soon demand the evacuation of the alleys of the city; yet no homes are being prepared for the residents of the alleys to enter. This is a serious problem for all of us and should be given immediate attention. Since the war, wages have been reduced but rents have remained at war heights. Fifty, sixty and seventy-five dollars per month for three, four and five rooms is entirely out of keeping with our incomes and cannot be maintained without injurious results to our health, morals and progress. What can and will we do this year to secure relief from these extortionate rent hogs that gobble up every dollar they can possibly squeeze out of the already over-burdened tenants? A fourth objective should be bigger and better business establishments among our people in Washington. We can easily maintain another bank, an ice cream manufacturing company, a first class steam laundry, shoe stores, more and better groceries, a book store, a large furniture store, clothing stores and a real live commercial organization that will function by going after the things necessary and essential to our progress. Who will take the leadership for the accomplishment of this our fourth objective? As a fifth objective we should endeavor to secure more civic improvements this year. In various sections of the city there are a number of streets on which our people live that need repairing, paving and improving. Many of old brick sidewalks should either be replaced by concrete ones or be torn up and relaid so that the holes and unsightly places could be eliminated. Water collects in these places and in some places the walks are almost impassable when it rains. A comfort station for the Northwest section should be included in this fifth objective.

If a beneficial and serviceable for District's inhabitants, why is it not viceable for the one out of four sent one fourth of the inhabitants to same sanitary, bathing facilities. This matter should be brought to Committee on Capitol Hill by Romamnd a committee to appear in its hearing on the District's important matter before the district housing facilities. Some, the enormous rent that is these landlords who are devoid of setting of some of these shells—beings to occupy. The "alley evacuation of the alleys of the district" prepared for the residents of a serious problem for all of us use attention.

In 1899 the assets of the association was given as $350, insurance in force, $247.92 and a premium income of $840.
