The Washington Tribune SOUTHERNERS ATTACK RACE IN BATTLE AGAINST DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL All the News That's Fit to Print .VOL. I. No. 36 The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was again taken up for discussion on the floor of the House Wednesday afternoon after several attempts by Representative Garrett of Tennessee to filibuster against it. After the bill was taken up, the Democrats showed that they were well prepared with fixed speeches to fight the bill to the last ditch and force the Republicans to go the limit if they are to pass the bill. Representative Madden of Illinois, was the first speaker. He comes from the first district, which includes most of the first and second wards of Chicago. These wards are nearly 90 per cent Colored and the Colored people hold the balance of power in the Congressional district. Representative Madden urged the passage of the bill saying that he believed in law and thought that America should guarantee life, liberty and freedom to all its citizens. He further said that: "We boast of the freedom we have extended to subject races in other lands, and yet we forget the humility that is imposed on 12,000,000 people in our own land. We do not hesitate to say that we are willing to divide the police power of the state with the nation to enforce prohibition, but we hesitate, or many do, to divide the police power of the state with the nation to preserve human life." Representative Madden further said in part: "I am not in favor of permitting anywhere in this land the organization of any number, no matter how powerful they may be, America is entitled to a trial. He is Every man who commits a crime in American is entitled to a trial. He is entitled to the protection of the law." Following Representative Madden was Representative Tillman of Arkansas. Mr. Tillman in true Southern form, arose amid the plaudits of his Democratic colleagues. After the usual formality of saying that he disapproved of lynching, he plunged into a fierce attack on the Negro race and the Republican party. Representative Tillman, like most whites, tried to show that the race is made up mostly of rapists going about like wild animals preying upon women and girls. In substantiation of this theory, he read a clipping from the Washington Post regarding the alleged attack of Thomas Minor of 2002 Eleventh St., N. W., upon a white woman in an apartment house at 1107 Eleventh St., N. W. He related the story as the Post had it. However, he failed to tell the House members that this same man Thomas Minor, was the next day released after being acquitted of the charge and that it was later found that a white army officer was the would-be rapist in the case. From this point on, the Southern representative quoted case after case that he had gathered from white newspapers and tried to build his story up on the purity of the white race. In one of his rape charges, he claimed that the man was drunk on cheap gin manufactured in Representative Dver's district. Representative Tillman charged the Republican party with playing unfair with the Negro and said they never will play fair. He stated that when the test comes as to who his real friends are, the Southern people will prove out. Looking over to the Republican side of the House, he said: "Your trouble is you play fast and loose; you blow hot and cold with your colored brother, and he has about found you out." He charged that while speaking in the last election campaign in Virginia, Anderson, the Lily-white Republican candidate for governor, said: "The idea of a Negro being elected governor of Virginia is nonsense. If he should be elected, there are trees in the Capitol Square." "This, said Tillman, is a threat that if the Negro were elected he would be lynched." Representative Tillman in referring to Representative Tinkham of Mass., said: "He (Rep. Tinkham) is always present when we discuss black men or red liquor." Tillman used several poems extolling the virtue of white women. In speaking of how radicals have governed countries, he referred to the Negro race as follows: "Clothe the Published Weekly illiterate, lewd, vicious, criminal black man with a little authority, brief or otherwise, and he will make a mess of things also. A race of tip takers can not become a race of rulers." The House applauded this statement. He charged that if the Anti-Lynching bill was passed, it would break up the Union and would change the flag. Representative Goodykontz of West Virginia, spoke on the Constitutionality of the bill. He said he firmly bet that the guaranties for the protection of the citizen are clearly defined in the organic law and particularly in the articles that appertain to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. He further said: "Let us pass the bill and thereby arm the Department of Justice with a weapon that can be used to vindicate the rights of all citizens, irrespective of their color, race, or condition, within the protecting aegis of the Federal Constitution." Among other Representatives who spoke against the bill was Hersey of Maine. Little of Kansas and Taylor of Tennessee spoke in favor of it. The bill will soon come up for a vote, but it is gravely doubted if it will pass. Veteran watchers of congressional procedure point out that the bill is merely a political move. The whole house comes up for election and many of the Northern representatives are from districts where the Negro holds the balance of power and know that they must purport to do something for the race in order to appeal to the voters. UNIVERSAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY MEETS The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Universal Development and Loan Co., was held on the evening of January 3rd at the Y. M. C. A. The terms of office of one third of the directors expired and the following were elected for a period of three years: Dr. E. P. Beckley, J. C. Clark, S. M. Dudley, Frederick Fitchett, John A. Hyder, Rev. Logan Johnson, R. C. Mason, John H. Paynter and Rev. C. E. Queen. On the following Monday the Board of Directors elected officers for the ensuing years as follows; Rev. Logan Johnson, President; E. E. Pierce of Philadelphia, vice president; W. W. Holman, secretary; R. C. Mason, assistant secretary; John A. Hyder, treasurer; Abram Gates, assistant treasurer; S. M. Dudley, general counsel; H. D. Woodson, supervising architect; and A. S. Pinkett, chairman of the Board of Directors. The personnel of the Executive Committee is: Geo. A. Robinson, chairman; John A. Hyder, Edward Holland, Abram Gates, Frederick Fitchett, W. W. Holman, H. D. Woodson, Rev. Logan Johnson and A. S. Pinkett. The attendance at the stockholders meeting was large and enthusiasm ran high. The annual report of the directors was read by John H. Paynter, recapitulating the activities of the year and projecting a year blossoming with encouragement. Among the items of especial interest was the information that the Surveyor's Office of the District of Columbia is now completing the sub-division to be known as Universal Heights, that at a very early date the stockholders will be called upon to select their lots and that buildings will soon be in process of erection for the home-seekers desiring well-built suburban houses. This feature of the company's activities will be emphasized in the coming months. The Suburban Gardens commanded no small portion of the director's report and a roseate picture is painted of that matchless amusement park for the coming season. Manager Ransom Coming Attorney F. B. Ransom, manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Company, will attend the meeting of the Mme. C. J. Walker Club, Monday night, January 16, at the Virginia Hand Laundry. 1331 U Street, N.W. This meeting will be of much importance to every Walker agent and a large attendance's expected. NEW SOLDIERS' ORGANIZATION FORMED On Monday, January 16, 1922, at 8:30 P. M., there will be held a meeting in the Assembly Hall of the Y. M. C. A., 12th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C., to elect national and district officers for a new veteran association to be known as the American Veterans of the World War. At this meeting all colored ex-service men are earnestly requested to be present, in order that the work, now well under way in this city, may become national in its scope. Its purposes are many, and all of great importance; but its chief aims are to secure for disabled comrades-in-arms a just and equitable administration of the various laws enacted for veteran relief, and to assure to the 400,000 Negro veterans, their proportionate share of whatever benefits the government of the United States, and of the several states might provide for service in the World War. BIG THEATRICAL CIRCUIT FORMED Mr. S. H. Dudley One of the Big Factors in Enlarging Present T. O. B. A. A meeting of far reaching import to the theatrical world and the race was that of the Theatre Owners Booking Association, in Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 5th of this month. Representatives of all the colored theatres in the United States, playing colored vaudville, met and formed a circuit covering the country, with eleven men in the Association. Mr. S. H. Dudley of this city was among those present and was a factor in the enlargement of the booking circuit. He refused to hold any office whatever, but retains the booking headquarters here in Washington. There were eleven men elected to office in the Association, four of whom are colored. This is an exceptional association of colored and white men. The following officers were elected: Clarence Bennett, New Orleans, president; Charlie Turpin, St. Louis, vice president; W. S. Scales, Winston Salem, N. C., secretary; Sam E. Reevin, Chattanooga, Tenn., treasurer; and Milton Starr, Nashville, business manager. The following persons were elected to directors: Clarence Bennett, New Orleans; Milton Starr, Nashville; C. H. Douglass, Macon, Ga.; C. W. Huray, Birmingham; Sam E. Reevin, Chattanooga; E. M. Stone, Indianapolis and B. Arasso, Memphis. Mr. Dudley organized the first booking association for colored actors in this country. He says that he selected Washington for his headquarters in preference to either New York or Chicago, because it is the gateway between the North and the South. He gave up the stage four years ago and since that time has devoted his efforts to the colored vaudeville players and a circuit for their continuous service. In this meeting at Chattanooga, he perfected a circuit that covers the entire United States and every colored actor in Vaudeville. This is no small accomplishment for four years and brings to this popular idol of the stage added power and influence. Just recently Mr. Dudley was offered a lucrative contract to head a company in this country and another one to go abroad both of which he turned down to further perfect the circuit of the T. O. B. A. DR. SMOOT TAKES OVER DRUG STORE Dr. John W. Smoot is now the proprietor of the drug store at the corner of New Jersey Avenue and Q Streets. This store was formerly under the management of Doctors Smoot and Beckwith, but Dr. Beckwith retired during December. Dr. Smoot is a graduate of Howard University Pharmaceutical School. He is a young business man and is interested in the growth of Colored business in this city. The store enjoys an all ready established business. INDUSTRIAL BANK ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR 1922 INDUSTRIAL BANK ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR 1922 The stockholders meeting of the Industrial Savings Bank was held Tuesday night at the bank on 11th and U Streets. The largest number of stockholders were present in the history of the bank. The reports for the year showed earnings of $20,088.15. Of this amount $5,000 was paid out in interest to depositors; $6,877.61 for salaries and other running expenses and $8,210.54 was the net earning for the year. The report to the Comptroller of the Currency show the Industrial had resources on the 31st of December to the amount of $518,634.40. While the resources show a decline of about $65,000 since September, the Industrial Bank is in a healthy condition. It has deposits amounting to $467,975.04, with loans and discounts of $202,584.97. This is a very strong, in fact, an exceptionally strong showing. All of the directors were re-elected as follows: Walter S. Carter, John H. Lucas, Chas. H. Neal, W. H. Ricks, John H. Sims, Logan Johnson, Wm. A. Bowie, and John W. Lewis. The directors elected the following officers: John W. Lewis, president; Walter S. Carter, vice president; Wm. A. Bowie, cashier; and W. H. Ricks, secretary. The following persons were elected to the financial committee: W. S. Carter, chairman; Wm. A. Bowie, John H. Sims, Chas. H. Neal and John Lucas. FORMER WASHINGTON BOY MADE N. Y. COMMISSIONER The Tribune notes with pleasure the successful careers of all former Washingtonians. According to the New York papers, the biggest position ever accorded a race man, was recently handed out to Hon. Ferdinand Q. Morton, former assistant U. S. district attorney and a former Washington man. He has been recently appointed one of the three civil service commissioners by Mayor Hylan. Though born in Mississippi, Mr. Morton received his early education in this city, having attended the graded schools and high school. As a student in the Old M Street High School, he was a popular favorite with the faculty and he was held in the high esteem of the student body. Because of his early oratorical proclivities he was the recipient of many complimentary prophecies, some of which he has since fulfilled. Upon graduating from the high school in 1901, Mr. Morton entered Harvard College. After graduating, he later entered and finished Boston University School of Law. He chose New York City as the scene upon which to stage his brilliant career. He is a power in the Democratic activities of New York and he commands an exceptionally large following. While in the district attorney's office, he headed the Indictment Bureau. LABORERS RELIEF INSTALLS OFFICERS On Monday evening, January 2, 1922, the Laborers Relief Association of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing held its first meeting of the year at the Y. M. C. A. Building, 12th St. Branch. Several new members were added to the membership. There was also installation of officers. Robert Tate, was re-elected president for his fourth consecutive term. The treasury is in good financial condition. The following officers were installed: president, Robert Tate; vicepresident, Robert B. Blunt; recording secretary, Shelby B. Covington; financitl secretary, Edgar Friend; treasurer, H. A. Ramsonille; chaplain, Jas. A. Ross; serg't-at-arms, Thomas H. Lee. After the installation a collation was served. SENATORS AGAIN INSPECT SCHOOLS Senator Capper's Committee, along with the school officials, made another tour of inspection of the City schools Thursday morning. One colored school was covered in their tour, the Stevens school, 21st and K Streets, N. W. The Committee happened to be at the school just at recess time and saw the dire need of play-ground space for this school. It is very much over-crowded, demonstrating the need of an annex to relieve the situation and exemplifying the pressing need of the eight-room addition that has been recommended for the Phillips school on 28th Street. The Stevens school is so crowded that there are 12 half day schools being conducted at this building. The children are forced to play in the streets. The Committee was impressed favorably for more ground for the Stevens' school and an annex to this school. Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson accompanied the Committee. EMPLOYEES TENDERED BANQUET By Murray Bros. Printing Co. Cresent Amusement Co. and Washington Tribune Last Wednesday (By Jay Bee) The third annual "get-together" of the employees of the various interests connected with the Murray Brothers, The Crescent Amusement Corporation, and The Washington Tribune, was held at the Murray Casino, last Wednesday evening, and was a brilliant affair. Covers were laid for 141. Promptly at 11 o'clock, Mr. F. Morris Murray, toast-master, called the house to order and the third annual "get-together" started on its merry way. After a few remarks by the toast master, stating the purpose of the occasion, Mr. William O. Walker, managing editor of The Tribune, was summoned to make the first speech of the evening, but on account of a heavy cold, he was unable to "shine." Mrs. Corrine A. Williams, office manager of the printing plant, because of her valuable services, was paid a glowing tribute by the toast-master in his introduction of her. Apparently dazed at having been called upon, Mrs. Williams briefly related some of the pleasantries enjoyed during her connection with the firm. Mr. Raymond H. Murray, dean of the motion-picture exhibitors of this country, in a short but instructive address, pointed out many good reasons why those assembled, should not only "get-together" but he also emphasized the fact that to succeed, we must "STICK TOGETHER." That his remarks were well received was attested by the prolonged applause of the guests. At this juncture, Mr. James H. Washington, of the Industrial Cafe, and his fleet-footed corps of waiters and waitresses, laboring under the strain of loads of good things to eat and oceans of beverages to drink (soft), appeared on the scene and asked permission to do service. They instantaneously obtained the unanimous consent of all, without even the faintest sign of a dissenting voice. The score card showed the following: Sweet Pickles, Roast Pig, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Mashed White Potatoes, French Rolls, Sliced Tomatoes, Ice Cream, Cake, Fruit, Nuts, and Coffee. While the guests were partaking of this sumptuous repast, a tall gentleman, gaudily dressed in an outfit at which Bert Williams would have shuddered, was seen lurking about the hall. The toast-master directed that the gentleman advance forward and "draw his cork." A close-up of the gentleman, revealed a likeness of Mr. Cholly Lee, Manager of the Murray Casino, who according to the program was the official "funster" of the evening. The next speaker was heralded as the "man from every where," Mr. J. A. G. LuValle, city editor of the Washington Tribune. Two yarns and a Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS KU KLUX KLAN ATTEMPTS TO COME BACK KU KLUX KLAN ATTEMPTS TO COME BACK Hold First Outdoor Initiation in Rock Creek Park According to the daily papers here, the notorious Ku Klux Klan has invaded Washington in earnest again. One of the big evening dailies here this week ran a picture purporting to show an outside initiation service which was held in Rock Creek Park this week. One of the members of the Klan made a statement which was published in the same paper. It is rumored that several organizations here among Colored people are preparing to wage a fight against the spreading of the Klan here. One of the Klan's officers is reported to have stated that the initiation this week was the first of a number they intend to stage in and around Washington. Much has been written and said about the Klan, but this is the first public demonstration yet heard of in the District. Because of the strict enforcement of the laws here, the Klan has not flourished here like in other cities, but there is a very large southern population here that came here during the late war and such an organization like this is likely to flourish among them as they are for anything that is against the Negro. N. A. A. C. P. TO HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION Anouncement is made by the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., that the annual meeting of the Branch will take place January 20, in the Assembly Hall of the Y. M. C. A., 1812 12th Street, N. W. At this meeting the election of officers will take place; the report of all the activities for the past year, through the different committees, will be made and the report of the officials, Treasurer, Secretary and President, as to the income and disbursement for the period. NEW THEATRE UNDER CONSTRUCTION A new theatre is being constructed in South Washington by Mr. George Nelson, a race man who will be this owner. The house is costing nearly $20,000 and is being built entirely by Colored mechanics. Mr. Wm. Lucas is handling the brick work, Mr. John Dixon the carpentering and Mr. R. H. Gunnell is superintending the work. brief sketch of the founding of the "Peoples' Paper"—the Washington Tribune, at the conclusion of which he resumed his vicious attack upon a helpless little piggy, that lay on the festive board near him. The principal speech or talk of the evening was delivered by our esteemed friend and comrade, Mr. Sherman H. Dudley, guest of honor. In his imitative manner, "Unk-Dud" told of his many experiences in the show game. He seemed very much impressed with the many declarations of loyalty by the different speakers. A beautiful violin solo was rendered by Mr. Morris of the Dunbar Theatre staff. Short talks were made by Messrs. George E. Battles, musical director of the theatres; George H. Tucker, manager of the Foraker Theater, and Mr. Walter Dickson, of the printing plant, and Mr. Chessen of The Tribune, all of whom, have long been in the employ of the Murray interests. The supreme jolt of the evening, came when this writer, lauded to the skies by the toast-master, as a molder of opinion with cartoons, briefly related the founding of the first Negro moving picture house in the United States. After the feast, Elmer Snowden and his Jazzologists blew in and dancing was indulged in until the wee hours. F. MORRIS MURRAY ..... President WILLIAM O. WALKER ..... Managing Editor J. A. G.

JANUARY 14. 1922 A short story by Lewis Hillman, author of "For Her" and "Jockaleen" Evening's burnished sunset cast a colorful glow over the city and threw a glass door when Claud Lake reached the top of the frosty steps, turned his key in the lock and halted in the corridor after shutting the door. His tall graceful figure stiffened when his eyes caught a headline of the paper in his hand. "Jealous Man Kills Another Over Wife," he read aloud. Then the thought came uppermost in his mind: "Should a man harm a fellow creature to make his own happiness complete?" While thus he mused the shades of eve gathered more thickly in the dim twilight as if some hidden specter were stealthily approaching. He shuddered slightly at a sound—a potato bounced down the stairs and stopped at his feet. Thro' this diversion his glumness vanished. Before him was a quaintly scented staircase—of jasmine sweetness. Some fairy-like girl had gone up the steps very recently. His searching eyes glimpsed a pair of smart shoes and black lace stockings drawn about two well-turned calves and ankles, as he picked up the Irish staple. Hastening up the stairs to the second floor of the flat building, he switched on the lights and handed the vegetable to a charming little lady on the landing. "You're very kind, sir," she thanked him, fumbling with her keys while holding fast to a number of packages in her arms. Quickly she noted his reserved courtesy, as he stood with head bared and a pleasing look of admiration in his eyes. Those dark eyes, which dropped before hers, were brilliant windows for his orange-brown complexion and mobile countenance. She liked him from that moment. "Don't mention such a trifle," he bowed courtly, his gaze sweeping her from head to toe. "Shall I unlock the door for you?" As she smiled her consent, her comely features seemed rightly enhanced by dimples, even white teeth and the contour of yellow cuticle in contrast to a wealth of coal-black hair that adorned her shapely head. Her smile dwindled away as soon as he opened the door for her; and beneath that gaiety of youth's ELMAN Consideration W.

"I—I'm," she stammered; she could not tell him the truth, for he would never like her is she did. "I'm Malone—May Malone. I'm stopping with my brother and his wife who have just moved in flat eleven." "Claud Lake is my title," supplied the man. "It's a real pleasure to know you. My brother and I have a bachelor flat on the third floor." Vaguely he wondered what had made her unhappy at times, as he left her and continued to the next floor and his apartment. "May Malone," he mumbled to himself. The name brought visions of springtime, sunshine and flowers. Why couldn't he have waited a little longer—till she came along? She was adorable! Wasn't there any way out? Perfunctorily he greeted his wife and sat down to supper. His flat looked real homy; but his wife was the one misfit to the surroundings. That leaf-brown spouse was meek, large and flabby. Claud hoped the other girl wouldn't find him out. But it wouldn't be a week before she'd know all. Deliberately he had lied to her about being single. Why were some folks mismated in life? Was there no eress? Each day Claud timed his footsteps homeward so he invariably met May Malone on the stairs or in the vestibule. He didn't think he was doing wrong. People sin or make mistakes in matrimony, he reasoned. Why not rectify such blunders? A mismatch should be corrected, even as a mathematical problem must be worked till one arrives at the solution. Then one evening in sheltering dusk he kissed her on the stairway. "May," he whispered rapturously, "whose little doll are you?" She was alluringly refined, he told himself. Such bliss! "Don't!" she remonstrated hoarsely, wiping her parted lips and pushing him to arm's length. "You must not, Mr. Lake! I'm surprised at you!" Inwardly delighted, yet she was afraid; her brows lifted distractedly in half alarm. Just then a key grated in the front door which admitted a heavy dark man in overalls. With an outward show of bravado and unconcern—though his knees were unsteady—Claud passed the girl, turned on the hall lights and slowly ascended to the third floor. "How much did that man see?" he soliloquized with misgivings. Had the other witness tabled on the stairs? He could have looked thro' the door and seen. Besides that, who was the man? He didn't remember tarrying to scrutinize the gentleman. It might have been May's brother? But nothing would stop the whisperings thro' the flat that he, a married man was in love with the new comer in flat eleven. A mumble of voices was heard as he let himself into his apartment. "What you worried 'bout, dear?" questioned Martha his wife, while she busied with the supper of steaming hot edibles. "Oh, nothing much," he prevaricated. "Just a little preoccupied." The closing shadows of night not a little disturbed him—the gray windowpanes turned blue-black then murky; January's howling wind held an ominous note. To dodge the uncomfortable feeling he still felt May's warm red lips pressed to his. During the evening meal Martha inquired: "Have you met the people in number 'leven'? They are Mr. Burt Malone and Mrs. May Malone. And—" Claud jumped in his chair and winced, his knife clattering to his plate. "What's the matter?" Martha wanted to know and then continued. "They're perfectly lovely. Mr. Malone is simply adorable—the most unusual man I ever met! I could just—" She stoned abashed. "I don't care to meet them," he replied curtly. So May Malone was married! If that was the case was that her husband who came in behind them?

C. wife! His perturbation magnified to distress. The inner man wanted to live true to his marital vows. Why had that girl come into his life? He must forget her—not even speak to her, if such was necessary to hold his head. Suppose her husband had spied upon them? What would the man do? He groaned his penitence. Trying to quiet highstrung nerves he left his unfinished repast, adjusted the table lamp and pretended to read a book. Across the table from him Martha knitted in a happy mood—more cheerful than was her wont, he thought. For some uncanny reason prickly sensations ran up and down his spine. Hunching his houlders against he knew not what, his gaze shifted to a window. His heart almost stopped; cold perspiration popped out on his forehead, as his startled eyes glimpsed a pudgy snarling face beyond the dark glass. For an instant his muscles were paralyzed while he watched the apparition raise a large colt revolver and point it directly at him! Gosh! he had kissed Malone's wife and the former had seen him! Moistening his dry lips with his tongue, de dragged one hand over a cold clammy brow, then tapped the arms of his rocker apprehensively. By a supreme effort he pulled his head away from the range of the muzzle and upset the rocking-chair sidewise. A shot rent the air as he sprawled on the carpet. Glass splintered and jingled about the rugs. Martha screamed shrilly and threw up both arms in a dead faint. Claud peered around the edge of the overturned chair toward the window. The scoundrel had gone down the fire escape, no doubt. Cautiously the frightened man revived Martha with a basin of water, felt himself carefully then noted where the bullet tore an ugly hole in the wall. His wife was unharmed. Taking three hasty steps thro' the shattered glass he jerked down the blinds. From a table drawer he slipped an automatic into his pocket. At his hall door he heard loud voices—a policeman and the flat neighbors crowded about to storm him with questions. Displaying the damage to the wall he explained: "A burglar came up the fire escape and shot thro' a pane of glass. Frightened by the noise, the man disappeared. Nobody's hurt, thank heavent!" He gave a vague description of the thug, showed everyone the door and sat down to unravel his troubles. Martha went to bed distracted. How could he tell folks the true stat eof affairs—a near tragedy from kissing another man's wife? He must carry his automatic pistol, for he and the other man would meet again—to settle matters. Everyone in the right wing of the flat building had been up to learn the trouble, except the Malones. The following evening he got his first good view of Mr. Malone, since that gentleman met him in the vestibule where the sunset beauty filled the glass door with golden yellow streamers from a waning sun. Claud's hand went to his gun pocket, as the big dark man spoke with metallic grimness: "You have been courting my wife! and you have kissed her, you wretch! You shall feel the vengeance of Burt Malone." For some seconds the two men glowered at each other; then the speaker mounted the steps and vanished. To avoid going up the steps behind the man, Claud went across the street and purchased a cigar and came back smoking. On the second floor landing he stumbled over something. At his feet lay the heavy dark man; a ghastly smile twisted the bloodless face—dead! As Claud stooped over the figure a lady opened a door. Terrified she yelled in a harsh whisper: "My God!" Suddenly she retreated and slammed the door. An examination disclosed a pool of blood beneath the dead man's head and shoulders. Totally unnerved Claud leaned back against the wall at a loss what he should do. How long he stood there he couldn't tell. Finally several officers entered—the woman must have phoned for them. Then her head poked thro' the edge of her door while she pointed. "He did it. He was the only one around, officer." The policemen took Claud sternly by the arms. Frantically incautious the prisoner struggled till he rang the bell at number eleven. "Mrs. Malone!" he called lustily. "May! May, open the door quick!" As the door swung ajar and Mr. Malone stood frame in the opening, Claud sagged in the officers' grasp. "I was horrified by the sight, sir. I thought it was you." He shook as with vertigo. Then the officers took him to jail. Next day the coroner's verdict was Mr. Malone's brother had died from a hemorrhage and heart failure while paying a vist to his older brother. Claud was released but lived in insatiate fear of what might happen. What kind of revenge was Malone planning? Then one day he was dragged into court. His wife was granted a divorce on the ground of alienated affections. Incidentally Mr. Malone secured a divorce from May on the same day. In his testimony he said: "When this man made love to my wife I wanted to kill him but for my high regard for his wife, I didn't. Thro' the game of 'put and take' I paid court to his wife. And I find the arrangement mutual." Mid the calling of another case before the court, the mismatched couples remated. Malone meekly took Martha's hand. And May passionately embraced Claud. "That will do!" thundered the judge rapping with his gavel. "Just a minute, judge," sweetly echoed May's voice while she held Claud Lake very close. To him she said: "We change flats tomorrow, dearest!" Eagerly her lips sought his.

Mrs. Caroline King, 92 years old, died in Jersey City on the 31st of December. She had been making Jersey her home for more than twenty years.

It is a work of art of exceptional merit, a fascinating and instructive presentation and portrayal of Biblical story, dramatic incident and human sympathy; a work which in finesse of conception, beauty of thought and expression is little short of an inspiration. It appeals not only to the sense of sight and sound, but with matchless skill and delicacy speaks to and reveals the soul in its deep longings and hidden mysteries. The piece is great and for what it says in song and story, greater yet for what it is in fact and fancy. The drama consists of six scenes with eleven principal characters and a large chorus. Mrs. Emma Lee Williams will direct dramatic acting and the Sewing Club will make the costumes. Good singers, both male and female, are cordially requested to join the cast at rehearsals or by registering at secretary's office. Phillips, Garnet and Lovejoy Centers The Comic Operetta, "A Merry Company" will be produced by the combined music groups of the three above named centers, starting last Tuesday evening at Phillips Center with a goodly number. Find out from the Secretary at your nearest Center, rehearsal periods and please be prompt and regular in attendance. The comic operetta depicts a merry picnic scene of School-Cadets and Girls and music is characteristic and martial as well. The cast consists of eight leading characters and a chorus chorus. It is a regular summer holiday's outing and you'll want to get in it. Register in your center at once. Burville and Randall Centers "The Crowning of Love," a cantata for young ladies, embraces a fashionable school and a wood scene with eight elading characters and a chorus of lovely music. This is a bright and sparkling school play and is bound to please in both music and dialogue. Persons nearest these two centers should register at once if desirous of joining cast and learn date of rehearsals. Birney Center With a "King" and a "Princess" character in it, "The Singing Leaves" cantata should prove a musical extravaganza for Birney patrons. The fact that it is written by two noted persons, the words by James Russell Lowell and music by Grace Mayhew, at once establishes its intrinsic value as a muscial play of high degree and taste. The music is of high calibre indeed and would thrill any audience of music lovers. Persons likewise, nearest this Center please learn date of rehearsals. Orchestra and Music Lessons at Centers Piano lessons are being given in all centers at a reasonable rate, and violin classes as well as a community civic orchestra will be organized beginning February 1st by a well trained violinist. Sight-singing class was started at Phillips center last Tuesday evening and other centers follow during this month. Persons interested in these musical activities should communicate with the secretary of your nearest center for enrollment or further information. The general music director is leaving no stone unturned to awaken a greater interest in music at the centers for the welfare of all citizens, and the public should certainly take advantage of the opportunities created for their particular benefit.

Theatre DAYS 5 ed., Thurs., Fri. 7, 18, 19, 20 ng 6:30 20c Chief of Screen ations SHIEK" WITH Rudolph Valentine WITH THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 Rivers our 1920 end, again wins a berth at this position. He is able to do anything expected of a good end. Tripp played an extraordinary game throughout the season and is awarded the other end by a slight margin over Skinker. The latter has the making of a great wingman and his work will bear watching next year. Gayle and Holland closely follow the above three. Morse and Williams might even have routed Tripp and Rivers out of their positions but for injuries early in the season. We pause to wonder if the spectator really appreciates and knows the value of a good tackle. There is little to choose between Long, Fuller, Brooks, Williams and Brown at this position. All are capable of executing the following requirements in high order: open holes for their backs, hurry the kicker and passer, break up interference, tackle, block, and get down under kicks. Long and Brown slightly excelled the others in general ability. Coston and McKinney stood out at guard. The former was shifted to fullback for the Howard game but played at guard in all others. Both were towers of strength in the center of the line as well as able assistants to their tackles. Smith was a wonder at recovering fumbles while Barksdale is well known as a strong linesman but too frequently loses his head. Dabney was the most active and reliable center of the year. Great expectations by opponents made his task more difficult because many knew that when he was halted the main cog in Hampton's machine was stopped. There were many other remarkable centers. At quarterback, Jackson is preeminent in the position. A wonder at generalship, great kicker, accurate and speedy passer, star at off-tackle or broken field running; truly there is nothing he can not do in grand form. Keene and Wester are exceptional quarterbacks. The latter is probably more versatile but Keene is the best general and broken field runner. The backfield positions are probably more closely contested this year than ever before. When we think of the star backfield material that is forced off of both teams we become more boastful of our picked men. Anyone who saw Law play in the Union-Hampton or Howard games will agree that no mythical eleven would be complete without him. Truly a great halfback was Law. Payne was the most dependable man for short gains in Colored colleges. Seldom, if ever was he called upon that he did not advance the ball. As a carrier of interference, receiver of the pass and dropkicker he had few equals. Doneghy, on account of his natural ability and season's playing previous to the Lincoln game, is chosen the final mmeber of our backfield. While not exceedingly fast afoot, he has a "slipperyness," elusiveness and change of pace that made him look like a streak of chained lightning. It is regretted that he was forced out of the Lincoln game in the first period because of injury. Johnson was the same star as last year but the all-round brilliance of the above trio forces him to the second eleven. The same might be said of Edwards and Williams. Injuries had much to do with keeping Parr, Gregory, Molson and a few others off the teams. Other star ends of the season were: Gayle and Starr, Morehouse; Nurse, Howard; Bullock, Knoxville; Myers, Tuskegee; Hoyle, Va. Seminary; Brown and Ballard, Va. Union; Lattimore, Livingston; White, Talladega; Taylor, Wiley; Cox, Ky. Normal; Gordon, Biddle; Williams, Howard; Morse, A. & T. Other great tackles were: Fuller, Howard; Hammond, Va.

Other outsanding centers were: Malone, A. & T.; Coles, Talladega; Evans, Wiley; Waller, Va. Union; Holton, Howardd; Jackson, MorrisBrown; Rivers, St. Paul; Stuart, Simmons.

Williams) Hampton, Va.—Wilberforce University defeated Hampton Institute 24 to 18 on Hampton's court on Saturday, January 7, in what spectators declared to be the most brilliant basket ball game witnessed at Hampton in the last two years. From the beginning of the game until the sound of the timekeeper's whistle there was great defensive playing by both teams as well as wonderful passing and spectacular shooting. The brilliancy of play brought the spectators to their feet constantly as the two teams battled for supremacy in their first inter-sectional clash. The first half ended 11 to 9 in favor of the visitors. The score was evened early in the second half, but Wilberforce again took the lead and held it throughout the game. With two minutes to play and the score standing 18 to 20, the Ohioans clinched the victory by making two sensational shots from the center of the floor. The game was clean and hard-fought throughout. It was a fine demonstration of sportsmanship of the highest type. Hampton 18 Wilberforce, 24 Saunders .. R.F. Hull Lovett, Cornish, LF. Fisher Watley C. Hudson Gunn R.G.

"Strong As The Hills" Dunbar High School Thurs. Jan. 26 The very best vehicle that the Howard Players have used to display their unusual histrionic training, is "Strong As The Hills" a most remarkable conception of Miss Mateale Lake, of this city. The Dunbar High School auditorium with its 1500 comfortable seats, its very excellent acoustics, its spacious stage, unexcelled lighting effects for the theatricals, is being offered by the Dunbar Advisory Council as the place where the citizens of this city may not only witness this master performance, but also that the many hundreds of children who desire playground facilities may have them. The play receives its conception from a student of the Western High School, who has journeyed through the lands of the Orient, notwithstanding her youth, where she witnessed Persian life, customs, dances, religious observances; saw their plays dealing with real Persian heroism, and love, mingled with Persian casts, and out of the whole experience has produced a remarkable play which is an inspiration to every reader and thinker. The work of this young lady is but indicative of what we may expect of our own children and to that end a School Children's Matinee is booked at the Dunbar High School on Saturday afternoon, at 2:30o'clock to which admission is but Twenty-Five cents, payable at the door. Mr. Benjamin Washington, managing the performance at the Dunbar High School, says that, the indications are that the Auditorium will be taxed to its seating capacity on Thursday, January 26 when the first production at Dunbar will be given, by the entire cast of Howard players just as they are trained by Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest.

Attendance urged. OBITUARY Lord let me not strive endlessly To be like some sweet pictured saint, But help me to be just myself, And keep me close to Thee in prayer, For Thou hast made me Lord, to work A work that no one else may do, So all I ask Thee is to keep Me to Thy blessed purpose true." The above quotation from Mimie Sanderson, aptly applies to the life of our friend and co-worker, Mrs. Genevieve Sheen Young, who departed this life suddenly, Tuesday morning, January 3, 1922. Mrs. Young was a devoted member of the John Wesley A. M. E. Z-Church choir, having cast her lot with us soon after her arrival in this city a title more than one year ago. Since that time she had rendered untold service for our church and the Master's Kingdom. She was a young woman of rare talents, her voice, her willingness to do, no matter where the call for service, combined with her quiet and gentle manner made her of untold value. Is not this the secret of success in all the battles of life. She had consecrated herself and talents not into the cloudland region, but into actual common daily living. She was always willing to help in the little things, no matter how small or obscure the church she would gladly go and use the voice God had given her not only on state occasions, but the consecration suggested by the living sacrifice, that walks on the earth, that meets life's actual duties, struggles, temptations, and sorrows, and that falters not in obedience, fidelity or submission, but follows Christ with love, and joy wherever He leads. Her real life was made up of the simple things, love, generosity, forgivingness, sympathy, and human understanding. the members of the above named choir knew her and loved her for the strength and unselfishness of her Christian character. Speaking of the seemingly strange providence shown in the sudden removal of such a useful young woman from friends, parents and church, the hardest thing for humanity to understand is that God's plans are always better for men than are their own plans and that it is always hard to understand that God's plans for His glory are always those that are best for men. The removal of a good, and useful man or woman from the earth to heaven is never an accident but is only an answer to the prayer of Jesus Christ that those whom He loves may be with Him where He is. We shall all miss her greatly and she shall always be remembered by each of us, as a splendid young woman who gave unreservedly of her life and gifts to help further the cause of the lowly Nazarene. RESOLVED, that since each member feels so keenly the death of this our dear and faithful member— First—That we bow in humble submission to Divine Providence; Second—That we shall greatly miss her; Third—That we tender to the bereaved family our sorrowing and heartfelt sympathy; and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family at Decatur Ill.

Find A Job For Your Your Dollars "Men are seldom, if ever, more innocently employed than when they are honestly making money," says Johnson; and Mr. Orrin C. Lester, Acting Director, Treasury Department, has said: "The greatest asset of a nation is the morale of its people, and the greatest influence in keeping up morale is financial independence. Until one has removed his financial shackles and has a little money to the good, he can not rise to the full advantage of a citizen. He lacks confidence to accept responsibility. He lacks courage to plan for the future. He lacks means to take advantage of opportunity. A little money saved from honest work and invested successfully is one of the essentials of complete citizenship." The first step toward financial success is a job. The next step is to save something from the job, and to FIND A JOB FOR WHAT YOU SAVE. There is a job for every dollar. How successful a dollar may be at its job depends upon HOW GOOD A JOB IS SELECTED FOR IT. Our company is now engaged in selecting the very best jobs for your dollars.

It is World Film Corporation's picturization of the drama, Mary Tudor, by the immortal French author, Victor Hugo, and tells a tensely interesting story of "Bloody Mary," England's first reigning queen. Fabiano Fabiana, an Italian adventurer, has wormed himself into the Queen's favor, and has induced her to elevate him to the English nobility, in spite of the advice of her counselors. All objections are silenced by the executioner, and Mary turns a deaf ear, too, to the pleadings of Simon Renard, Ambassador from Spain, that she marry his master, Marie Tadar "JUDGMENT" The Mighty Sp María Tader "JUDGMENT" The Mighty Spectacle Drama by Victor Hugo LURE OF YOUTH DUNBAR THEATRE, JAN. 20 & 21 "Lure of Youth" is the story of a woman's sacrifice for the sake of helping youth to cherish its illusions, and of a jaded man of the world who is purified and uplifted by her example. The play opens with a gay supper party given by Florentine Fair, a famous American actress, to celebrate her successful theatrical season. Among her friends Morton Mortimer, a broker and social lion, sues for her heart, but not for her hand. She tells him the theatrical life is beginning to pall on her and that she already longs for a less empty life, with a home and children. Scoffingly, she tells her she is not made for marriage; that she is a different type, and that no one but himself must ever mean anything to her. Acting on this suggestion, Mortimer decides upon the town of Litchfield as an ideal location for her "rest." Roger Dent, twenty-one and naive, is stagnating in Litchfield, trying to write plays and helping his father in the town's old drugstore. Florentine meets him while purchasing some rouge; is astonished at hearing herself addressed in French, and invites him to her rooms for tea and conversation. Mortimer arrives in time to see this unusual setting with Roger, carrying his play, and accompanied by his friend, Marjorie Farnol, who confides to Florentine Fair the boy's literary ambitions. The play is read aloud. At first bored, Florentine's interest grows as she discovers the spark of genius in Roger. She encourages him to write and takes him as a protege to New York, where he progresses, while Mortimer all the while is angered at what he dubs Florentine's playing with the fires of genius. In a jealous fit Mortimer makes a return visit to Litchfield, convinces the parents of Roger that their son is in the hands of an adventurer, and takes them to New York. A portion of the last act of the play is being read by the actress and her protege as Mortimer and the family enter Florentine's apartments and accuse Florentine of leading their boy astray. She denies the charge and the boy refuses to return home. Mortimer, madly jealous, confesses to having staged the scene and gives his love as the excuse. The actress has decided to part with him and devote her life to developing Roger's talents, this being necessary as the climbing playwright resents Mortimer's easy familiarity with Floren- Philip. To cure her of her infatuation, and to gain his point, Renard finds a girl, Jane, who is willing, to save her own lover's neck, to swear that Fabiani has wronged her. The Queen's love turns to hate, and she condemns her favorite to death. When popular opinion demands his immediate execution, however, Mary relents and determines to save him. She supplies the girl, Jane, with gold with which to bribe the jailors, believing her still in love with Fabiani, but Jane uses it to free her own lover, Gilbert, never guessing that the Queen has already given instructions that Gilbert be sent to the headman, under a black cap, in Fabiani's place, and that the jailors, though they accept the bribe, do not dare free him. Suspense runs high as the Queen and Jane, both waiting in the tower, pray, each, that her lover may be free. The outcome, which man's head falls, is shown only at the conclusion of the picture. The distinguished and beautiful European actress, Ellen Richter, plays the part of Mary Tudor, having played the same role in a recent revival of Hugo's drama upon the speaking stage. pectacle Drama by Victor Hugo tine. At a supper given for the purpose of introducing Roger to Sellman, the great producer, the clubman's conduct towards the actress evokes the lad's anger. Mortimer is drunk and tells Roger that he will have the same privileges later. In a white rage Roger tears up his manuscript and rushes from the room. He returns to Litchfield resolved to forget Florentine and resume his writing. Meanwhile Mortimer has perceived the folly of his action and asks Florentine to marry him. But she refuses and tells him that men propose only when the women are slipping from their grasp. Mortimer then turns a new leaf, helps the playwright and has his new play produced on Broadway, where it is an instant success. Roger receives the actress' felicitations and SCENE from "LURE of YOUTH" METRO ALL STAR PICTURE discovers that he has wronged her. He begs and receives pardon and proposes to her, but she tells him it cannot be. "It isn't because I don't love you, but because I do," she says. Roger leaves, consoloed by the knowledge that Mortimer now loves Florentine—in a different way. Florentine has made the supreme sacrifice and Mortimer appreciates it. He asks the chance to make her happy, and she indifferently offers herself to him. She tenders him the latch-key he had requested long ago and tells him he may have a duplicate at any time he wishes. Mortimer takes it, but declares he wil lorder the other one when they are married. Florentine is surprised and happy at the change. "Now I know you love me," she exclaims. Howard Theatre Takes on New Life NIGHT AND SUPPER SHOWS WELL ATTENDED During the present season, Howard Theatre, like a majority of the theatres, all over the country, suffered an unavoidable business slump. The immediate cause of many failures of the theatres this season has been principally due to the scarcity of attractions and high prices. The coming season, according to optimists, will offer many pleasant surprises. The recent patronage at the Howard has been very encouraging. Both the supper and evening shows have been well attended, for which, the management seems deeply grateful. The Paramount program which is shown exclusively at the Howard, has a number of wonderful spectacular productions yet to be shown, which will no doubt draw a number of capacity houses. Manager Vincent Thomas and his efficient corps are straining every effort to recompense the loyal supporters of this, the logical big house for our people in this city.

Alumni Association Makes Last Call The Snowden School Alumni Association has issued a number of appeals to members and friends who have not contributed to this year's fund. The need of a new piano and other articles is the aim of the association and the amount already received is worthy of creating encouragement, it is not enough to carry them over the top. All who have not contributed and who are able to do so are urged to make their contribution at as early a date as possible. Forward money to Mr. R. D. Lyles, Fin. Sec'y, 616 So. Columbus St., or to the Parker-Gray School during school hours. Town Topics in Brief The Magnolia Social Club retained their old officers at its recent election. On Tuesday night it held its first quarterly sitting and welcomed new members. Contribution boxes have been placed in different sections of the city to collect money to aid Ernest Lloyd. Lloyd is best known as Big Mutt and is charged with the murder of Herbert McCray who was in search of the Lloyd brothers with a gun. Upon finding the brothers in a pool room, it is alleged, McCray fired at Ernest and just missed his shoulder. Lloyd returned the fire and the bullet took effect, passing through McCray's abdomen and proving fatal.

You can do this by ever remem- ‘bering that, “To those who will, every thing is possible.” Very truly yours, MONROE N. WORK. (Note: Mr. Monroe N. Work is Di- ‘rector of the Department of Records and Research at Tuskegee Institute and is Editor of the Negro Year Book. Every student or person interested in the history of the race would do well to have a copy of this book on his, desk.—Ed. If you draw, send in some of your sketches. We would like to see them. Do not fold your pictures. YOUR LIFE What is your life's aim? Are you doing the best you ean or training to engage in the thing most suited to your ability and natural in- clination? You—every person—are born for some particular good or special ac- complishment. God is not a creator ‘of useless beings. If one fails 'tis because he or she did not help him or herself or because others failed to en- courage. It is not God, but us. ‘You are put here for some particu- lar purpose. It is apparent to you subconsciously if you are inclined to be a drone, You are wide awake to it if you are alert. It is that which gives you the blues, It conflicts with that which you are doing, it antago- nizes those foreign attributes you are trying to,create in yourself. God is your creator, Your partic- ular genius is part of you. God created it in creating you. Dream awhile and discover it, let the world call you a useless dreamer—but by no means dream too long, for long dreams are apt to become nightmares. If you think, deep within yourself, that you are best adapted for one thing, try it—try it—try it. Others may try to discourage you but strive bravely onward, Today learn and observe the adage of Lincoln: “I will work and pre- pare myself and perhaps my chance will come.” To him who toils comes success. Dream, aspire and work and you will not die unwept, unhonored and ‘unavne. : DIVIDEND NOTICE ‘At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Colum- bia Realty and Investment Company, held on December 7th, 1921, the fifth (5th) quarterly dividend at the rate of 8 per cent per annum on the capital. stock was declared, payable January 15th, 1922, stock of record December 31, 1921.
