The Washington Tribune Wm. Bush Killed in Church Row FLORIDA AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH IS SCENE OF A REGRETTABLE AFFAIR All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 1, No. 37. Wm. FLORIDA AVENU CHURCH IS A REGRE Dead Man Was Successful in Wood and coal Business In this City William Bush of 1117 S Street N.W. was mortally wounded in a fight at Florida Ave. Baptist Church last Friday night about 7:30 o'clock. He died at the Freedmen's Hospital Sunday morning about 12:30 A. M. from a blood clot on the brain. Two members of the church, Joseph Burke, age 49, 2226 Ga. Ave. and James A. Jackson, 1823 6th St. are chaged with the crime. The fight which resulted in Bush's death was precipitated by the intense WM. BUSH and WIFE feeling between the two factions which the church has been divided into. Friday night was the regular business meeting of the church and because of the riotous scenes enacted at these meetings, large numbers of people would attend them. On last Friday night several of the trustees of the church, who were Rev. Taylor's sympathizers, stood guard at the doors of the church to prevent the admission of anyone from their point of view or ruling, not a lawful member of the church. On Friday night last, Joseph Burke who is aligned with the opposition to Taylor, asserting himself to be a lawful member, entered the vestibule of the church on the Bohrer street side, and, according to testimony given at the District Morgue, was immediately seized by three men, Drew, Turner and Bush, supporters of Taylor. According to the testimony of Drew and Turner, they attempted to push Burke out of the door into the street. Burke resisted the interference, stating that he had a lawful right to enter the church. In the scramble that followed, Burke, according to the witness, in an attempt to prevent himself from falling grabbed Bush and both of them stumbled out of the narrow entrance to the sidewalk, being pushed by the other two men. The force of the scramble, tore the door open. Eye witnesses testified at the inquest that the two men fell out on the side walk on their knees, both holding each other. Policeman H. W. Smith of No. 8 precinct, who had been detailed to the church on Friday night to preserve order, testified that he and James A. Jackson, the other accused assailant and also one of those opposed to Rev. Taylor, rushed to the clinched pair and that Jackson struck Bush with a cane across the forehead, which Jackson denied on the stand. At the same time, Burke, who was getting up, officer Smith stated, also struck Bush with his cane. His blow fell on the left side of Bush's head. Bush it was said sank down, but not to the pavement. By this time, the (Continued on page 8) Bush THE BAPTIST SCENE OF TTABLE AFFAIR Pastor Has Been the Storm Center of Great Many Church Fights Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor and founder of Florida Ave. Baptist Church, has been the storm center of many church fights.His church is now badly divided into factions. One side is demanding his immediate withdrawal from the church, and because of the nature of the numerous charges official and otherwise they have filed against him, has gained public support. His supporters have been equally active in his behalf, which has resulted in a number of court cases. REV. W. A. TAYLOR The recent trouble which resulted in the death of Wm. Bush, it is stated to a Tribune reporter, was brought on by the suspension of many of the members of the church who opposed the pastor. One of these cases in which Burke and Jackson were involved went into the District court. The court ordered these men's names restored to the church's book. This was done, but at the last church meeting in December, they are said to have been again dropped. They were said to have been dropped this time because of their breaking some of the church's rules. So in order to keep these members out, those favorable to Rev. Taylor, did guard duty at the door on last Friday night. The Deacon board under the leadership of Mr. Langhorn, who is senior deacon, filed a long list of charges against Rev. Taylor before the Baptist Ministers Alliance. However, these charges were ignored by the Alliance. A petition asking the removal of the pastor was presented to a joint session of the Deacons and Trustees of the Church December 14th 1921, and was signed by seven men and four ladies all members of the church. The petition offered to pay Rev. Taylor $750.00, which is his salary for three months, if he would resign. The petition also stated that "Rev. W. A. Taylor has forfeited the respect and confidence of the church and has brought to termination his usefulness as its pastor." The petition presented to the Baptist Ministers Alliance pointed out how Rev. Taylor has assumed autocratic and dictatorial power in removing from office all members who opposed his rule. The petition further states: "We believe that if your Honorale Conference were acquainted with the intolerable administrative conduct of Rev. W. A. Taylor in the endless ramifications and hideous disregard for logical sequence, or ethical consistency, you would unhesitatingly expel him from your organization and take such steps as will rescue our (Continued on page 8) CENTRAL FIGURE IN CHURCH TROUBLE IN NORTH CAROLINA SEVERAL YEARS AGO CENTRAL FIGURE IN CHURCH TROUBLE IN VIRGINIA A FEW YEARS AGO CENTRAL FIGURE IN CHURCH TROUBLE IN THIS CITY NOW HOW MUCH LONGER MUST WE TOLERATE THIS TYPE OF PREACHER? SHIP AHOY! SPLIT CHURCH HERE IN 1911 GENERAL PUBLIC CHARGE OF A DISSENSION CAUSING MURD AGED AND INFIRM MOTHERS TO SEE "MOTHER O'MINE" AS THE GUESTS OF DUNBAR THEATRE A special showing has been arranged by Mr. R. H. Murray, manager of the Dunbar Theatre for all the aged and infirm mothers of Washington, Tuesday morning, January 27th, at 10:30 o'clock. This special performance for these mothers has been arranged so as to permit them to see the great drama "Mother O' Mine." This is a great story of a mother's love. Manager Murray stated that there are a number of mothers in Washington who are unable to attend movie theaters; some of them because they cannot easily walk and others because they cannot stand the crowds. Therefore, in order to accommodate the aged mothers, who desire to see this great picture, arrangements have been made whereby they will be called for in automobiles and carried to the theatre and then returned home after the show. All of this, plus the admission to the theatre, will be given to them FREE by the management of the Dunbar Theatre. All aged and crippled mothers are CO-OPERATION OF THE FRATERNITIES SOUGHT An inter-fraternity movement, aiming to organize an inter-fraternity council has been started in Howard University. The preliminary meeting was held on Saturday night, January 14, in the Moorland room of the Howard University Library. This movement for an inter-fraternity council in Howard University was started by the-Xi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, who sent invitations to all of the fraternities and sororities of Howard University. All of these organizations were represented at the rpeliminary meting, which was also attended by representatives of the Academic Council of the University. The inter-fraternity council movement is one of the most constructive movements ever begun in Howard University. It aims to engage the cooperative effort of all secret organizations in the University to foster a spirit of friendliness between them and the administration of the University. The college fraternity is fast becoming a powerful factor in the student life of every institution in which they are located. Their value as organizations of good influence upon the student life is recognized by college authorities everywhere, and in many institutions they are organized into inter-fraternity councils to cooperate and advance invited and asked to send in their names and addresses at once to the Dunbar Theatre, 7th and T Streets, N. W., so that automobiles may call for them. Anyone knowing of an aged mother who they think would like to see this great picture, can make arrangements by filling out a card at the box office of the theatre. The management of The Dunbar desires it to be clearly understood that every possible courtesy will be shown the mothers and that a number of ladies will be on hand to assure them of every comfort. All aged and infirm mother desiring cars to call for them must send in their names and addresses to the Dunbar Theatre at once. The picture "Mother O' Mine," will afford them a great opportunity to see a picture of real life and one that will appeal greatly to them. The matinee will be restricted to aged mothers so there will be no great crowd to inconvenience them. All names and addresses must be in the office of the Dunbar Theatre by Monday evening, Jan. 23. the best interests of these organizations and the college or university where they are located. A temporary organization was formed to meet on Saturday January 21, to make definite plans for such an organization. Mr. Lemuel D. Bolton, was selected temporary chairman, and Miss Fannie Pettie, temporary secretary. It is expected that at this meeting a definite plan of operation will be worked out, to be submitted to each organization for its consideration. The representatives of the organizations present were: from the Academic Council, Deans, Kelly Miller, D. O. W. Holmes, D. W. Woodard, E. L. Parks, and Registrar F. D. Wilkinson.

OFFICER SHOT AT BY PRISONER On Monday night at the Dancing Class given by the Oriental Club at the Murray Casino, James Cooper 19 years old of 2008 L St., N.W., who had been arrested for disorderly conduct, in an effort to resist arrest fired a revolver the bullet striking Louis Grant, 19 years old, 81 Alexander St., N.W. in the right arm inflicting a serious wound. In the police court, the next morning, Cooper was remanded for the action of the grand jury under a $2,000 bond. In an effort to clean up this gang of hoodlums, Messrs. Tucker and Matthews, managers of the dancing class caused four arrests to be made, all of whom were fined or imprisoned by the Court on Tuesday morning. BOWIE'S SENTENCES TOTAL TEN YEARS William N. Bowie has a total of ten years to serve in the penitentiary, having been given four years for robbery, four years for housebreaking and two years for forgery. He was sentenced for robbery some weeks ago by Justice McCoy. On Saturday the 14th he was sentenced for housebreaking and on Wednesday of this week, for forgery. Two other cases against him for forgery were nolle prossed. As these sentences are to run concurrently, there is little chance that he will ever be paroled. The grand jury returned an indictment against James C. Grice, Wednesday on the charge of housebreaking and larceny. He is alleged to have been with Bowie in the case in which Bowie has been convicted and sentenced to four years. TRIAL OF PROMINENT ODD FELLOWS STARTED The sub committee of management of the G. U. O. of O. F. began hearings last week in Philadelphia in the cases of members who were charged with conspiracy to disrupt the fraternity. These cases are attracting widespread attention because of the men involved in them. Attorney Chas. S. Hill of this city is the prosecuting attorney for the lodge. Last week he went to Philadelphia and prosecuted two of the cases; Charles Colburn of Wilmington, Del., and John S. Noel of West Virginia. There are many other prominent men to be tried, including Atty. W. L. Houston of this city. Just what the penalty in these cases will be could not be learned but it is rumored in the high circles of the lodge that they will be suspended from the order. Further hearings will probably be continued next week. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENT LT.-COL. YOUNG DIES IN AFRICA LT.-COL. YOUNG DIES IN AFRICA Was the Highest Ranking Colored Officer in the U. S. Army The announcement of the death of Lieut. Colonel Charles Young, Thursday, Jan. 12, who passed away in Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, recently proved shocking here. His death closed an interesting military career. He had served his country in the army since his graduation from West Point in 1889. Col. Young was born in Kentucky. He finished school at Wilberforce University and entered West Point Military Academy in 1884. He should have graduated in 1888 but he broke his leg while riding that year, which confined him to the hospital for six weeks and he therefore finished in 1889. He served as 2nd Lieut. for five years and in 1894 was promoted to 1st Lieut. and appointed as military instructor at Wilberforce University, by President Cleveland. He remained at Wilberforce until the Spanish American War in 1898, when he was commissioned Major of an Ohio volunteer regiment, by the Governor of Ohio. After the Spanish War, Col. Young was assigned to the Phillipines. In 1900 he was made captain in the regular U. S. army and from 1904 to 1908 Captain Young was again at Wilberforce University as military instructor. He was promoted to major 1906. From 1908 to 1911 he was military aide in Haiti. Returning from Haiti in 1911, Major Young was attached to the 10th Cavalry and mobilized at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio Texas in the spring of 1911. After this Major Young was sent to Africa to establish the Liberian Constabulary force. In 1916 Major Young was made a Lieut. Colonel and headed the 10th Cavalry in Pershin's punitive expedition into Mexico after Pancho Villa in 1916. In February of this year, Col. Young was given the Spingarn medal for his service in Liberia. When the war was declared in 1917 between the United States and Germany, Col. Young was seventh on the list entitled to be promoted to Major General. The South was in the saddle in the War Department and by a medical examination Col. Young was retired with the rank of Colonel in order to prevent his being given a commanding position in the World War. Col. Young was said to be one of the most learned military men in the whole United States army, and the rank of full Colonel held by him was the highest yet attained by a colored officer. Col. Young leaves a wife and two children. MU-SO-LIT CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS The Mu-So-Lit Club holds its annual election of officers Friday night, the 13th, at the new home of the club, 1327 R Street.

Tate claims he is the one to meet Dempsey as he is now the colored champion by receiving the decision in his fight with Wills on New Years Day on a foul. So dissatisfied were the spectators at the first bout that contestants were rematched, fighting the same week this bout ended in a draw, after ten rounds of the fiercest fighting ever witnessed in that part of the country. So Tate is once more in the limelight and has had numerous offers to fight, but there is no one for him to fight with except Wills and they are meeting to often for their own good. Jimmy Leggett, the Philadelphia middle, weight, now in Europe, says boxing is flourishing on the continent and that carnivals are being held in England, Holland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Look for a big feature next week. Howard Theatre S.H.DUDLEY AMUSEMENTS OWNED BY OPERATED BY BENEFIT OF COLORED ```markdown ``` Howard To Abolish Varsity Basket Ball Due to the inadequacy of proper space to develop and train a team to well represent Howard University, in the basket ball world, there will be no varsity team this year. This spirit of the game however, around the university will not be lost. The clubs and various organizations about the university have organized teams which constitute a league. After the season is closed, a cup will be awarded the championship team by the athletic association. Teams now organized are: Northeastern club, Beavers, Diamond, Lightning Fire, Delta Big Five, and the Phi Beta Sigma teams. These teams will play weekly, usually on Saturday evenings in the university gymnasium. In the absence of basket ball, the university hopes to put out one of the best track teams this year THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE in its history. There are many candidates out for the team and the men are making ready for the Boston indoor meet and the Penn. relays where they made a record last season. Beavers Win from Delta Big Five Saturday evening in the gymnasium at 2:30 o'clock, the Beavers and Delta met in a fast and thrilling game. The Beavers exhibited more class and technique than did the Delta. Capt. French of the Beavers tried several long shots for his team; but could not perfect his old grand stand plays as when in high school. Richardson of Delta made many good and interesting plays. He was the individual star of his team. The Beavers are composed of former Dunbar boys who are now of the freshman class of the university. The game was a hard fought battle throughout the course of play. Subs: Beavers — Blackman for Jones, Roberts for Elofton; Delta—Kean for Hardwick, Hardwick for Kean. Final score: Beavers 28, Delta 26. Referee, Clarkson. Note: Mr. Hilbert Rozier, of the varsity track team was recently appointed coach of the Freshman track team. Basket Ball Questions and Answers 1. During the game at Murray's Casino 6 January 6, the referee tossed the ball in the air and it fell to the floor before being touched, after which he said "TAP the ball to put it in play." What did he mean? Anwser: (Rule 8, section 6). When the referee puts the ball in play in the center, he shall blow his whistle when the ball reaches its highest point, after which it must be TAPPED by either one or both of the center players. If the ball touches the floor without being tapped, the referee shall put it in play again at the same place. 2. Must players face their "OWN" goal when jumping in center or elsewhere? Answer. No. No particular FACING is required, but they usually face their own goals as a matter of choice. 3. Did the referee PUT OUT two players of the Holy Name Guild team in the game Friday, at Murray's Casino? Answer. No. The referee did not PUT THE PLAYERS OUT. He simply called fouls and according to Rule 6, section 3, the players automatically left the game, because of THEIR OWN conduct. Rule 6, section 3, says: The referee shall REQUIRE to leave the game a player who has made FOUR PERSONAL fouls, or a player who has committed a disqualifying foul. 4. Why was the ball changed during the game? Answer: (Rule 4, section 1). If used balls are provided, the visiting team shall choose the one with which the game shall be played, and they shall have it as their practice ball. If a NEW ball is provided neither team shall use it in practice.

Stage and Screen MANAGER MURRAY IMPROVES CONDITIONS AT THE HIAWATHA Better Order and Other Improvements Noted A campaign, recently instituted by Manager Raymond Murray to improve the conditions at the Hiawatha Theater, has been completed with the most satisfactory results. Much of the dissatisfaction at this theatre was due to the disorder that was being created by a group of irresponsible boys who frequently visited the place. Mr. Murray, the manager after braving several assaults, which caused him minor injuries, has succeeded in making the Hiawatha now, a place of perfect order. A decided improvement in the music has also been noted. Since these changes have been made, the patronage has increased by leaps and bounds. The recent engagement of the Dunbar Players at the Howard Theatre in which Miss Susie Sutton appeared, recalls the good old days when the show game in Washington was in its infancy. Miss Sutton has always been a favorite here. Arthur Ray, one of the clever character men with the Dunbar Players, was at one time, one of the members of "Ten Dark Knights," a big time act.

SPECIAL VAUDEVILLE "Strong As The Hills" On Thursday, January 26, the Dunbar Players, of Howard University will present what seems now to be their master-production, the wonderfully dramatized version of "As Strong As The Hills," that beautiful, oriental, conception of Miss Matalee Lake of our Public Schools. The portrayal at Howard University, on Tuesday, was but a foretaste of what Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, expects to present at the superior rendition at Dunbar High School, on January 26, 1922. Mr. Benjamin Washington, representing the Dunbar Advisory Council, has charge of the management on this particular date, and is disposing of the tickets. He is ably assisted by the United Phonograph Company's Agency, under management of Dr. Hightower at 1836 7th Street, N.W. where tickets may be procured as late as 9 o'clock P.M. each evening. A matinee performance, exclusively intended for students of all institutions of learning in our city, will be given on Saturday afternoon at the Dunbar High School, for which an admission of TWENTY-FIVE Cents will be collected at the door. The very worthy object for which these performances are given should prompt every citizen in Washington to become a patron. The funds are to be appropriated towards securing needed equipment for our Public Schools playgrounds. Practically the entire staff of public school teachers will be present on Thursday evening, as a testimonial to Miss Matalee Lake, and to gain an inspiration from the work of the product of our public school system. The Board of Education is lending its support to this movement and several prominent educators who are now visiting our city have indicated their intention to be present. The fame of the Howard Players is so widespread that mere announcement of their appearance, means the gathering of a very select and appreciative audience. LOCAL NEWS LOCAL NEWS Mrs. S. B.

After attending to all business matters, the club adjourned at 5:30.

Northern Conference Gave Charity Dance The members of the Northern Conference, of the Associated Charities, for the District of Columbia, gave their Third annual charity dance Friday night, the 13th. A large crowd attended and a very enjoyable time was had. The "Northern Conference" is a circle of women, numbering about 30, with Mrs. Laura B. Glenn, supervisor; Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, chairman and Mrs. J. Hayden Johnson, chairman of the finance committee. This is one of the nine branches of the Associated Charities, of the District and has a supervisor connected with it. They maintain an office at the corner of Rhode Island Avenue and 7th Street, N. W., thru which Mrs. Glenn operates. The Northern Conference holds a weekly meeting each Tuesday afternoon, from 4 to 5 o'clock. At this meeting reports are made and the various cases that come to them for attention are discussed and given all the attention possible. Mrs. Charles I. West was elected a member of the Board of Managers of the Associated Charities on the 11th of January. This is the first time that a colored person has held this position and it was given because of the effective work of the Northern Conference and because they asked for representation on the board. More colored workers are needed in the District, particularly in the west end section and in the South West section. A recent case developed on 23rd street, which brings the matter vividly to the front as a telling example of the need, yea the demand for more colored members of the Associated Charities and other colored workers. A full report of the dance last Friday night will appear in The Tribune next week. All of the persons selling tickets had not reported up to the meeting Tuesday. The chairman of the finance committee, Mrs. J. Haydn Johnson made a partial report. The Dunbar Advisory Council announces the Howard Players at Dunbar High School, Thursday, January 26, at 8:15 P. M. in Miss Lake's master-production "STRONG AS THE HILLS." The Sisters and Brothers and Friends of Benevolence, an association of the First Baptist Church of West Washington, has for the past fifty years been making annual presentations to the pastor of the church at the holiday season. This year, in their fiftieth presentation, they presented to Rev. James L. Pinn, the pastor, the sum of $180.00 as a token of the high regard and esteem which the members and friends have for him. Mrs. Mary E. Milstead has been the president of the club since its organization. The other officers are: Mrs. Martha J. Williams, vice-president; Mrs. Araminta Harrod, secretary, and Mrs. Ella Clark, treasurer. Miss Blanch Marguerite Cardoza and her sister Mrs. J. C. Nicholas, were called to Philadelphia on the account of the death of their grandmother, Mrs. Emma Jones Warrick. The death of Mrs. Warrick, who was the last of the famous Jones family, releases the Jones property which has been held in trust for almost fifty years. It is said to be worth about $250,000. Mrs. Warrick died intestate, leaving property valued at $75,000. Miss Cardoza and her sister, and all the other children of Frank Cardoza, are direct heirs, as their mother, the late Mrs. Frank Cardoza, was the daughter of the deceased. H. U.

The"Oriental$ "Inc. Makes True Explanation of Unfortunate Affair To Correct Many Untrue Rumors in News Statements Tuesday, Jan, 17—The "Orientals" have undoubtedly been the victims of incorrect, rumors combined with stretched and absurd statements as to the unfortunate affair Monday night. It can be truthfully said that this club has enjoyed unparalleled achievements in its ideals of set purposes and policies of unstinted devotion to principle of conduct, and demanding the same from each and every patron. Unfortunate but not unusual as at most any affair a few undesirables happen to gain admission bringing with them their personal differences which happened else where, they made several attempts to settle them at the discomfort of others who had in mind only the pursuit of pleasure. The orchestra was instructed by some one by mistake to play home sweet home at an early hour A Change of Policy The Orientals regret that is is necessary in the future to admit patrons by card only. The cards can be secured at the Casino, Monday; box office Foraker Theatre; or office of Casino. The promoters in person, shall in the future handle the sale of all tickets, and trust that this misconstrued affair will not over-shadow all good efforts of this club for the enjoyment of all. They will continue as the only club featuring weekly a syncopated band. The Orientals G. H. TUCKER, Secy. Find A Job For Your Your Dollars 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 6LUBS 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.

Ince's stirring melodrama, "Mother O' Mine," which opens at the Dunbar Theatre on Monday, January 23rd for four days. For more than half a century the abolition of capital punishment has been an issue in American public life. Several states have dispensed with the death sentence as the supreme penalty for crime, and one or two of these states have returned to the noose and the electric chair as the only effective means of both punishing and diminishing murder. In "Mother O' Mine" the abolitionists point out a striking example of THE FILM OF "THE LOVE OF THE WEEK" Thos.H.Ince presents "Mother O'Mine" the danger of the state assuming to take the life of its major criminals. Robert Sheldon, the leading character of the drama falls into an altercation with his employer, the result of the latter's vicious slandering of the boy's mother. A thrilling fight follows in which the elder man manages to get a revolver from the drawer of a table. The boy, fighting for his life, forces the gun from his employer's hand, and, falling to the floor, it is accidentally discharged, fatally wounding its owner. The only witness to the affray is the mistress of the slain man, who, in spite of her waywardness, is sincerely devoted to him. She promises to avenge his death, and on the witness stand perjures herself, stating that the boy was the murderer, therby securing his conviction and sentence to the electric chair. Mother Intervenes There is apparently no hope for the condemned lad. His mother, however, intervenes and her determination and loyalty draw a confession from the guilty woman. Even then, with but a few hours remaining before the hour of execution, only the resourcefulness of the district attorney and a mad ride through a raging storm effect the boy's release as he is strapped to the death chair. The decriers of capital punishment who have seen the Inee drama advance this episode, which has been duplicated in real life when circumstantial evidence has brought men to their doom, as an argument in support of their demand for doing away with the electric chair and the gallows. There are many instances on record, they declare, where innocent men and women have suffered the death penalty when subsequent events proved their innocence, and they argue that "Mother O'Mine" is a vivid dramatic example of the fallacy of the system now generally in vogue. Jesse Brown Players At. Dudley's Mid-City Jesse Brown Players, a company of 10 people, who are appearing at the Mid-City Theatre, Washington, this week is SOME MORE SINGING SHOW, anyone who is a lover of harmony singing will more than enjoy this entertainment. It is the best tabloid company that has been in Washington for a long time. Special mention must be made of Blondine Brown and Toots Bean, a sister act who are a decided hit and the mixed quartette, two women and two men are worth the price of admission. The show will close its engagement at the Midcity Theatre Sunday night but manager Dudley has secured the attraction for his Dudley Theatre on You Street for an early engagement so if you should miss it this week, just wait and don't fail to see it at the Dudley Theatre, week of Feb. 6th. Manager Dudley has also inaugurated a slight change of policy at the Miricity Theatre, heretofore he has always featured Vaudeville and opened at 5 P. M., continuous until 11 P. M.

WATCH FOR THE PICTURE MATINEE, BEGINNING JAN. 23rd. HEAR DUD'S NEW JAZZ BAND. Rube Berstein's "Broadway Scandals" which opens an engagement of One Week, at the Howard theatre, starting Sunday Jan. 22, comes to this city heralded os one of the best musical attractions of the current season. Headed by that Funny Tramp Comedian, Clyde Bates, ("Sum Bum") Mr. Bernstein has surrounded him with a cast of Broadway Stars. Mr. Bernstein has spared neither expense or money, in producing this show and no doubt the patrons of the Howard are in for a real treat when they witness this show, for the amusement loving public have been amazed in the towns where this show has played so far at the brilliant costumes and scenery furished by Mr. Bernstein for this company. There is a large chorus beautifully costumed while the scenic environment is all that could be desired. Two acts full of comedy, specialties, and plenty of good singing and dancing make up the performance, besides Slyde Bates, the cast this season consists of the pick of the musical comedy; including Henry (Gang) Hines, America's Greatest Colored entertainer. Don't miss this show for if you do you will miss one of the treats of the season. Snowden-Diamond Jazzologists, Excentric Musicians Supper Show Idols and Popular Favorites with Dancers Washington is not only noted as the home of national legislation, but is also widely known as the center of the most critical group of terpsichorean followers in the country. This city boasts of several jazz and near-jazz bands. One of the most notable group of syncopaters is the Snowden-Diamond combination. Elmer Snowden, formerly of Bal- DIAMOND greatest drummer in the East with Elmer Snowden's MURRAY CASINO JAZZ ACES Phone N-1025 timore, one of the principals, made his first appearance in this city with Joe Rochester's band about four seasons age. He immediately became a favorite with his antics on the banjoine. When it comes to the banjoine and saxophone, he really "Snows" 'em under. Recently, Elmer formed an alliance with Diamond, of Atlantic City, reputed to be the world's greatest and most sensational trap-artist. For several seasons, he starred in some of Atlantic City's smartest hotels and cabarets. Since coming to this city, Diamond has completely "beat" his way into the hearts of an exceedingly large following. As his names implies; he is really a brilliant Diamond in the world of drummers. This wonder band has been advertised as "Jazz Hounds," "Jazz Bandits" and a score of other nom de plumes, but they are in reality, one of the snappiest bunch of jazz distorters, that have ever invaded these diggins. Included with these disciples of jazz is Miss Ellanorist Young of Montclair, N. J., a pianist of rare ability. Like her name, she is "young" and vivacious. She is one of the outstanding features of this combination. She is nothing less than a wizard when it comes to the "ivories." Miss Young's musical ability is inherent; her father being a chorister in one of the leading churches in Montclair, N. J. In action, Miss Young attracts much attention. She is exceedingly eccentric. Charley Warner, the cornetist, is a Washington boy. He is an artist of exceptional ability. His solo work is a rare treat. For eight years, he was one of the principal musicians in the Tenth Cavalry. He has played with some of the leading musical organizations of the country. Lathran Johnson, the fiddler, blew into the city about two years ago from Topeka Kans., and entered Howard University. As a side-line, he began playing in the different orchestras in the city. He is reputed to be one of the best violinists in the city.

I was away from home for two weeks and did not get the Tribune, but I found it here when I returned and I was so glad when I saw my name in it and that has made me determined to work so much harder. Dear Editor, I am back in my history. I thought it would be a good idea for me to get some of my schoolmates to form a Negro history club. I am 11 years old and a pupil of Brentwood School. Miss J. Bryant is my teacher. I hope to join the T. P. C. C. soon. I have been so busy that I haven't had time to look up the questions and puzzles, but I am sending in these few to show that I am still very much interested in the work of the paper. My dolly wishes to join the Dolly Club. She is a year old and her name is Lily Rebecca Scott. She is 18 inches tall. EVERTEAN SCOTT. (The forming of a club in Negro History is a good idea.

BOORY CHECKERS Arrange the checkers on the board in the regular formation and with one eye blind-folded play a game of checkers by moving the checkers "towards" you from your opponent's side of the board. In so playing the king row for you to reach is the row nearest your breast. The fun is created by the unusual method of moving towards one's self; apparently moving the checkers of your opponent; and the number of jumps you will neglect because you do not see as much nor as quickly with one eye as you can with two. The rules of the regular game are followed. Sure We are Proud of Ourselves Though many try to suppress the fact, the stubborn fact remains that black men have an old history which stretches back even in the twilight of time. The Bible records it, and historians like Rollins in his ancient History proves that those men in Egypt and Aethiopia—the land of Ham and elsewhere, were as lofty pyramids when compared with the proud hay-stacks of the present age. As modern science marches along, half-blindly, she finds herself stumbling on "discoveries" which put the best efforts of present achievement to shame. But buried in the bosom of the earth many valuable secrets are hidden which may never be revealed. —T. ALBERT MARRYSHAW, In "Cyclones of Civilization." BATTLE OF THE METARUS B.C. 207 In this battle the Roman army surprised, defeated and crushed the army of Hasdrubal (the brother of the great Hannibal) in its march from Spain to Italy before it could join Hannibal to conquer Rome. They cut off the head of Hasdrubal and threw it into Hannibal's camp who regarded this as a token of the doom of Carthage, the great city-republic of Northern Africa. Hannibal had maintained his army on enemy soil for more than 14 years, something no other general has ever done, during which time he "won every battle," and in the great battle of Cannae, B.C. 216, with 60,000 men annihilated and utterly destroyed the entire Roman army of 85,000 men. Most military writers regard Hannibal as the greatest general the world has ever produced. He was finally defeated, on account of inadequate home support, by Scipio Africanus at the battle of Zama (B. C. 202). After his death Rome destroyed and burned Carthage to the ground (146 B.C.) It took 17 days to burn it, after which they ploughed it up. Thus ended the bitter rivalry of centuries and the stupendous struggle for supremacy between Rome and Carthage—the greatest tragedy of all time. THE ATTUCKS MONUMENT BOSTON There stands in Boston a monument which commemorates an event of great importance. * * * * The monument referred to is the "Attucks Memorial," sometimes called the "Massacre Monument." The history of the event which this memorial commemorates is so familiar that it need not be repeated here. The monument itself is a most beautiful and tasteful piece of work; and it is notable because its erection by the state of Massachusetts in 1888 was due chiefly to the efforts of colored persons who began and pushed the movement. The sculptor was Robert Kraus. One can hardly refrain from regretting that the sculptor elected, or was requested, to reproduce, in the relief at the base of the shaft, "the scene of the massacre as it was presented in an old plate published in London." The scene as it is presented, is somewhat inexact historically and almost "impossible" sculpturally; yet it is frank and sincere. Crispus Attucks the Negro, who was first to fall, lies prone, plainly in view. His face is toward the front, as if to give opportunity to make manifest his race: and it is plainly manifest. There are a number of pictorial representations of this event which are more spirited and dramatic but none more satisfactory from the standpoint of frankness and sincerity. On the granite shaft are the names of the men who were killed in the massacre; Attucks' name standing first. On the occasion of the dedication, the late John Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish American patriot, read a poem of his own composition. Nothing nobler has ever been penned by an American. 'This splendid poem is not nearly so widely known as it deserves to be. If some unfortunate catastrophe had completely destroyed the granite and bronze of this monument on the day after its dedication, the fact that its erection inspired this poem would have made its erection amply worth while. A few stanzas are appended. Where shall we seek for a hero and where shall we find a story? But we honor a shrine unfinished, a column uncapped with pride. If we sing the deed that was sown like seed when Crispus Attucks died. Shall we take for a sign this Negro slave, with unfamiliar name— With his poor companions, nameless too, till their lives leaped forth in flame? Yes, surely, the verdict is not for us to render or deny; We can only interpret the symbol; God chose these men to die— God chose these men to die— As teachers, perhaps, that to humble lives may chief award be made; That from lowly ones and rejected stones, the temple's base is laid! When the bullets leaped from the British guns, no chance decreed their aim; Men saw what the royal hirelings saw —a multitude and flame: But beyond the flame a mystery: five dying men in the street dying men in the street, While streams of severed races in the well of a nation meet! Oh, blood of the people! changeless tide, through century, creed, and race! Still one as the sweet salt sea is one, though tempered by sun and place; The same in the ocean currents, and the same in the oolltured sea; the same in the sheltered seas; Forever the fountain of common hopes and kindly sympathies. Indian and Negro, Saxon and Celt, Teuton and Latin and Gaul— 9 Mere surface shadow and sunshine, while the sounding unifies all! One love, one hope, one duty theirs! No matter the time or ken, There never was separate heart-beat in all the races of men! And honor to Crispus Attucks, who was leader and voice that day— The first to defy, and the first to die. The first to dery, and the first to die, with Maverick, Carr and Gray. Call it riot or revolution, his hand first clenched at the crown; His feet were the first in perilous place to pull the king's flag down; His breast was the first one rent apart that liberty's blood might flow; For our freedom now and forever, his head was the first laid low.

OUR EXCHANGES We have before us papers containing features for children. The idea is spreading and it will not be long before the movement of juvenile features in the realm of Negro journalism will invade every worth while Negro paper. Let us be up and doing. Let us forge ahead and be inspirations to those who are far away from us—but who are of the same blood. Let, them too, publish such columns or pages as will be inspiring to us. We have a definite aim, to learn more and more about the history and traditions of our own people. I know my little readers join me in wishing luck, success, and many moments of merriment to the readers of the Chicago Defender, Jr., edited by Robt. Watkins (Bud Billikens); to "Uncle Alph" who edits "A chat with Boys and Girls" in the "Nashville Globe"; the readers of the Kiddies' Korner in the "Philadelphia Tribune"; and "Boys and Girls Afro" of the Baltimore "Afro-American." I sincerely wish such pages had been edited for me when I was a child. Now you have them, let them help you by your willing support. READ NEWSPAPERS This isn't a plea for you to read the Tribune—but an honest-to-goodness plea to you to read some newspaper. Keep up with the times. Read, read, read. Many people can not discuss a thing after they have read it but it is better to know what others are talking about in the matter of current events even if you can't discuss them. Take part of your play time and read a paper every day. Don't look for the jokes and comics and ignore the news and editorials. Read the news first then the other articles. Be alert, be alive, know the things of today as well as learn the things of past days from your histories. Remember that every event today goes to make up the history of tomorrow. Too, read some good publication edited for and by the race. This is the only way many things pertaining to the progress of the race can be learned. Form a habit of reading daily and in reading try to understand what you read and do not feel "too knowing" to ask concerning the things you do not understand.

This Washington lady is also a clever writer of short stories.—Ed.) WHY YOU SHOULD STUDY Of course this is just one of the very very many reasons why Negro girls and boys should study, and study diligently. In the near future we will demand a group of producers. To produce well one must have a well founded knowledge of what he attempts to produce. A producer cannot be a halfway, hap-hazard person. He must be exact with the exactness of a trained well informed master of his particular line of enterprise. No matter what the product, the trained persons wins. To produce bricks, music, pan-cakes, fine crops of potatoes, or good poetry, demands a trained mind. To get those pictures of white faces from the walls of Negro homes means that a generation of Negroes must devote time, energy, and money to the production of something to take their places. Negro art by Negroes for Negroes will not be an intrusion upon the general and broad principle that art is not of a group of people but is universal. Even so, wouldn't it be nice to see pictures of little black and brown tots, busts of Negro men and women in prominent places in our homes? If art—and most art in America is commercial—eliminates black faces (other than comic) from the homes of white folks why not eliminate white faces from the walls of the homes of Negroes? Study, children, to become producers. A TRIBUNE SCRAPBOOK If there are certain features or special articles in the Children's Page that appeal to you, you would do well to obtain a blank book and paste them in it. You could also look about for a large bound volume that no one wants, and paste your clippings in it. If the printing in the book is wider than your clippings, you can get green, blue, or deep red tissue paper and paste over the book printing and it will make a neat border which will give your book a neat appearance. Always note dates of papers you cut clippings from and make note of it on a page in the back of your book. Number each clipping and you can easily refer to it by glancing at an index which you can place either in front or the back. Y. W. C. A. Rev. Chas. H. Wesley, pastor of Ebenezer A. M.

The Carry-On Club gave an enjoyable anniversary party, at the residence of their leader and organizer Mrs. M. A. Chiles on Tuesday night last. A short business meeting was held at which time the following officers were elected for the second term Miss Ida Washington, president; Miss Mattie Woodruff, vice president; Miss Margaret Welch, secretary; Miss Lillian Rouse, assistant secretary and Mrs. G. J. Williams, treasurer. Excellent reports were given of work done during 1921, and all went home after spending a most enjoyable evening, determined to do better work in 1922. School News Miner Normal Notes Final examinations for this semester were held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The reorganization of the school for the next semester has begun. The students of section H presented a series of playlets, dealing with health, at the Dunbar High School dramatizations in the interest of better health in the schools were given with the desire of impressing upon the children of the graded schools the value of acquiring health habits. Receipts are still coming in from the sale of Christmas health seals; $500 having been collected to date. Miss Elizabeth Kayo leads with $17.15 and Miss Melissa Thomas is second with $16.00. Dunbar High School The senior class of Dunbar entertained Wednesday afternoon in honor of the faculty. The reception took place in the library, where the officers of the class, headed by president Lee Johnson, welcomed the faculty. A program of music, poetry and esthetic dancing was presented. Following the program, refreshments were served and an informal hour was enjoyed. Reports from Syracuse University state that Miss Lorraine Redmond, major of the girls cadets at Dunbar last year, is doing quite well in her studies. Her averages are exceedingly good and her work in Latin, philosophy and English deserve special mentioning. Miss Redmond was a member of the 1921 class. Armstrong Manual Training School The senior class organized last week with James Wright as president; Miss Lillian Turner, vice president; Taylor Beck, corresponding secretary and Hortense Johnson, treasurer. The Armstrong Athletic Association was represented at the conference in Annapolis this week by Prof Benjamin Washington of the athletic advisory staff. Two new motors have been installed in the shoe repair department by boys of the applied electricity division. This will relieve the situation of overcrowding because of the lack of speed. James Wright has been elected chairman of the Areo Club for this year. Various types of machines will be studied analytically, prior to the construction of a minature model in competition for the prize offered by the National Aeronautical Society. The Armstrong basket ball team defeated the fast Y. M. C. A. team, Saturday, 28 to 23. The Baltimore High School basket ball team was beaten Monday by the Armstrong team.

THE DOUGLASS CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE The Board of Management of the Douglass Co-operative League voted Monday night to close the grocery store at 8th and Florida Avenue. A telling lesson is encouched in this failure. To begin with, the Douglass Co-operative League was misnamed. The immediate economic purpose of co-operation is to save money for the members of the association or to earn for them some form of middleman's profit. In a regularly formed co-operative association, none of the officers are paid a salary, save the clerk, and then only a nominally small one. The business is carried on by a manager, who is hired by a board of directors, who should be responsible for the operation of the association. It is stated that the Douglass Co-operative League had 1,200 members and that they had paid into the League, $10,000. It is also stated that at this time the League's equity in the property at the corner of 8th and Florida Avenue amounts to about $2,000. At the beginning of the operation of the store, a large business was carried on. Indeed it cannot be said that our people did not give the store their support, for they are said to have done seven, eight and even nine hundred dollars worth of business on Saturdays, and a weekly business of about sixteen hundred dollars, a volume of business seemingly sufficient to have kept the stock up to normal. But it appears that the overhead was too heavy. It is learned that about five of the officers drew a salary of $100 per month, although some were employed in the government service and did not give their entire time to the work of the store. The Douglass Co-operative League has failed with its store. Its failure is indeed regrettable and due to inefficient management. Will other group business enterprises among our race take cognizance of this failure and its cause and profit thereby? The laws governing the operation of a business enterprise are fundamental. When they are ignored, failure results. The condition of the successful operation of a co-operative enterprise is fundamental. The scheme depends not merely [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. ROBERT H. PALMER on economic thrift and support, but on integrity, fidelity and disinterestedness. A completely self-seeking man cannot be a good co-operator. In other words, co-operation presupposes forbearance, and co-operative spirit, and can be successful only where such qualities exit. Co-operation is, in fact, a form of moral education, an expression of social ethics, a way of trade which might write over its stores: "Bear ye one another's burdens" for "Ye are members one of another." It is not fair to say that the people would not patronize this store, for it is quite evident that they did; and this failure is due to other causes not chargeable to most of the members or the Colored people. NO SMOKING BY GERBERS OF COMING SHERIERS LLC ALL REPAIR WORK STOCK THE CARS ONE CORNER OF OUR REPAIR DEPARTMENT DEAD MAN WAS SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN (Continued from page 1) men were separated. Bush's head was bleeding. Officer Smith arrested Jackson and Burke and carried them to No. 8 station, leaving Bush in the hands of his friends. After going to the station house and leaving his two prisoners, Officer Smith started back to the church, and met Bush on his way to the station house, the officer going with him. The men were charged with disorderly conduct and all put up the necessary collateral for their appearance in court. No one suspected Bush of being as seriously injured as he was. His friends, it is claimed carried him to the drug store, and then to his home. When his wife, who remained at the church, arrived home about 10 o'clock, she found her husband lying across the bed unconscious. She summoned Dr. Albert Ridgeley, who later had his patient sent to Freedmen's Hospital. Dr. T. Edw. Jones of the hospital staff, testified at the inquest that his attention was first called to the patient's condition about 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and that after consultation, it was decided to operate upon him. Bush never gained consciousness from the time he arrived home to his death. William Bush was born in Bertie, N. C. in 1881 and came to Washington 14 years ago. He was first a member of Vermont Ave. Baptist Church, leaving that church during the split under the leadership of Rev. Taylor and went with him and a group of members who later formed the Florida Ave. Baptist Church. Up to the time of his death, he engaged in a coal and ice business at 1110 S St., N.W. He was a very successful business man 904 Barry Place N.W. and was liked by all the community. He is reputed to own valuable property here. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock from Florida Ave. Church and Rev. Taylor preached the funeral. The church was packed to capacity; an over flow crowd was in the Sunday School department and about 800 people swarmed the streets. Two women fainted in the crowd and were carried away. Special policemen were necessary to handle the crowd. Rev. Taylor was assisted in the services by Rev. Jernagin of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church News of Bush's death spread thru the city like wild fire and policemen guarded the church during services last Sunday. Because of the turbulent state of the church, the news of the killing of a man did not shock some. The affairs of this church have been in court almost continually during Rev. Taylor's pastorate, much to the disgust of the public and many of the members. A coroner's jury Monday afternoon recommended that Burke and Jackson be held for the action of the grand jury on the charge of Involuntary Manslaughter. They were committed to jail but their Attorneys. Thos. L. Jones and Royal A. Hughes, secured bail for them Wednesday, which was fixed at $5000 each. Both men are out. PASTOR HAS BEEN STORM CENTER OF MANY FIGHTS (Continued from page 1) church from the gripping agonies of total disintegration. "In consonance with its long established tradition, we concede that the titular [head] of church should not be changed or removed for light and transient causes, and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by altering the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, nay their bounden duty to throw off such shackles and provide new guards for their future security." "Such has been the patient sufferance of the complainants of this church and such is now the necessity which constrain them to this action. The history of our present pastor is a history of repeated wrongs, coercions and usurpations, all having in direct affect, the establishment of absolute tyranny over this church, and the causation of strife, discord and unrest among its members." "A charge involving moral turpitude was filed against our pastor, with the officers of this church and though the investigation was placed in the hands of his friends, the pastor refused to meet his accusers and the report of the committee which looked into the case was shamelessly tabled for ninety-nine years." "There is a stain on the good name of our church today that cannot be removed until this church is rid of its one liability, Rev. W. A. Taylor." All of these petitions were turned down or tabled for ninety-nine years. The dissention has now become a matter of public gossip. The public is anxiously awaiting the trend of events there especially since the death of Bush. H. U.

Chi Rho Sigma Chemical Society Presents Lecture Monday evening, January 16th, at 8 o'clock, in Thirkield Science Hall, the Chi Rho Sigma Chemical Society presented Miss B. B. Scott, of the department of Chemistry in a lecture: "The Recent Development in the Field of Alloys." Medical School Dr. A. B. Jackson, of the Public Health Department of the University will lecture to the senior classes hereafter on public health service, as it is one of the vital phases of medicine, and that there is so great a demand for men in that particular field. He began a series of lectures on Monday evening in the amphitheatre of the Medical building. At a recent meeting of the Pharmaceutical faculty, there were discussions petraining to raising the entrance standards of that school. At present, this department is the only one of the medical school, to which students are admitted raw from the high school. Just as there is a pre-dental and pre-medical course at the university, there will soon be a pre-pharmaceutical school. It is the one aim of the university authorities to place this school on a class A basis. The students are coming into that school here recently in greater numbers than ever before.
