Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print Vol.I.No.44 MANY CHANGES WITH NEW POLICY OF MANAGEMENT AT THE HOWARD Announcement of Last Week Came as a Surprise to the Public STOCKHOLDERS WELL PLEASED Dudley-Murray Corporation Has Kept Faith With All Investors The acquisition of the Howard Theater by the Dudley-Murray United Theater Corporation, as was exclusively announced in the last week's Tribune, has caused an endless flow of congratulatory letters and telegrams from friends in all sections of the country. The consensus of opinion is that the popularity of the Old Howard, in the hands of the present promoters, will be almost instantaneously rejuvenated. The Howard is both beautiful and substantial, though conservatively constructed. It was erected during normal times; and at a recent inspection of the building resulted in a most favorable report as to its safeness. With its compactness and comfortable arrangement, it is logically and typically a home or family theater. It is and has always been the people's playhouse, but owing to the recent strenuous theatrical conditions the country over, the house ceased, except on special occasions, to be the rendezvous of the popular theater-goers. With the introduction of big pictures and other attractions, as it is planned there will be, it is freely predicted, that within a comparatively short time, the Old Howard will again become one of historic Washington's show places. For many months, it had been rumored that the Dudley-Murray United Theater Corporation was extinct; hence the announcement of the acquiring of the Howard came as a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky. Not even the stockholders of this corporation were apprised of what was being consumed by the wide-awake officers of this organization. The controlling factors of the Dudley-Murray organization are all well-known men of unquestioned integrity and wide business experience. Each one has been instrumental in the founding of racial enterprises that will ever stand as monuments to their ability. The officers of the corporation have announced that there will be no further sale of stock of the corporation. Big Mass Meeting on the 15th A monster Mass Meeting will be held under the auspices of the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. on March 16, at the John Wesley Church 14th and Corcoran Streets, N. W., in honor of the author of the Anti-Lynching Bill which has just passed the House of Representatives, Honorable Leonidas C. Dyer. Mr. Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who has been identified with the Bullock fight against extradition from Canada and who was personally on the scene, will probably be one of the speakers. Everyone is welcome and should come to see our friend, Mr. Dyer, and also get first hand information concerning the Bullock case which is being fought so strenuously in Canada. Published Weekly Recorder of Deeds Called Home The Hon. Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, left for his home in Welch, W. Va., Saturday of last week in response to a message that his wife was quite sick. Mr. Free intimated that the visit was purely an emergency one and he expects to return to his duties as soon as conditions permit. FATHER TIME DRAWS CURTAIN ON "BERT'S" LAST ACT Famous Comedian Passes Away After Few Days' Illness WORLD MOURNS HIS LOSS Was First Negro to be Featured On Broadway Egbert Austin Williams, known to the theatrical world as Bert Williams, died last Saturday night of pneumonia, at his late New York home, 2309 Seventh Avenue, after falling to respond to a blood transfusion operation. He was forty-five years old. At the bedside when the end came, were Mrs. Lottie Williams, his wife and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Williams. In his death, the profession sustains an irreparable loss. He became suddenly ill in Detroit, in which place, he was appearing at BERT WILLIAMS the head of his own company, in "Under the Bamboo Tree." He was sent to his New York home with a private nurse in attendance. When the attending physician informed the family that a blood transfusion operation would be necessary, William Vodery, well-known composer and life long friend of Mr. Williams, immediately volunteered to give the blood. When the news of the death of Mr. Williams was announced at the offices of the Dudley-Murray Theater Corporation, both Mr. Dudley and Mr. Murray seemed deeply affected. Mr. Dudley, himself, a life long friend of Mr. Williams, paid a glowing tribute to his distinguished contemporary.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 Recorder of Deeds, Arthur G. Froe at his Desk with the beautiful basket of Flowers given him by employees. BUSINESS MEN INTERVIEW HEAD OF WOODMEN Commander White Tells of the Needs of Negro Business "Confidence in Colored Business Enterprises" was the subject of Hon. C. M. White, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen, before a meeting of the business men of the city at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday afternoon. The speaker told a number of instances wherein one man in business would endeavor to knock another business man and said that in a measure he was hurting himself for he was destroying the confidence which that particular individual had created in people who had faith in Negro enterprises. Commander White spoke encouragingly of the possibility of a bonding company among colored people to underwrite new enterprises and sustain some of those already established. He also spoke in a public meeting at Asbury M. E. Church, Tuesday night in the interest of the American Woodmen of which he is the national head. He travels constantly in the interest of the order and is conversant with the conditions prevailing over the country. He said that racial consciousness was spreading over the country and the spirit of co-operation was permeating the whole race. "Enterprises are springing up all over the United States," he said, "and this is the most promising outlook for our racial development that I have ever noticed before. This spirit is stronger in the South than it is in the North. Our people are getting together and this will have a telling effect in the forthcoming elections."

CAPITALIZED AT $25,000.00 Many Prominent Business Men on the Board of Directors Each year brings to light its new genius with some new invention or improvement of something old. The subject of this ketch, Mr. Clifford T. Taylor, formerly of the Standard Life Insurance Company, the Inter-State Life Insurance Company and the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, a young man trained in the general insurance business and especially the industrial line, came to this city some years ago. He became identified with the National Benefit CLIFFORD T. TAYLOR Association, the first life insurance company ever chartered in the District of Columbia by men of our race. Soon after entering the insurance world, Mr. Taylor became ambitious to promote a company of his own, organized according to certain plans he had conceived. He determined to achieve his ambition without using a penny of the people's money for promotion expenses or salary and his efforts in the realization of the Federal Life Insurance Company of the District of Columbia with a capitalization of $25,000.00. After organizing a temporary board of directors of fifteen well selected men, he left the services of the government, May 23, 1921 and began the promotion of the company and the sale of its stock, June 6, 1921. Four months and twenty-four days from this date he had completed the organization and sold all of its stock without holding a single mass meeting. By knowing his proposition and having the ability to impress the people with his sincerity, integrity and genius, he was able to effect, single handed, this unprecedented achievement without the expenditure of vast sums of money. He kept his promise with the public, if he failed to put the corporation over, that he would return every dollar paid on stock. The offices of the company are at 1937 Eleventh St. N.W., and the Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS CURIOUS CROWD HEARD REV. W. A. TAYLOR LAST SUNDAY MORN Used For Subject, "My Case In the Supreme Court" PRESENTED WITH FLOWERS Deacon Langhorne Makes a Statement After Sermon That the public is still deeply interested in the outcome of the case of Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, was manifested at last Sunday morning's services, when an unusually large number of persons from all sections of the city, filled the auditorium to its capacity. Pending the outcome of the case, many members of the faction antagonistic to Rev. Taylor, have absented themselves, but judging from the attitude of many who were observed by the Tribune man, there must have been an unusually large number present who had come to hear the special sermon which had been announced. For several days prior to last Sunday, there was a bulletin posted outside of the church, announcing the subject of his Sunday discourse "My Case in the Supreme Court." It is thought by many that this novel text was the incentive for the record-breaking attendance. While announcing his text, there were several instances of snickering and other signs indicative of general dissatisfaction, which could be heard plainly all over the church. During the course of his remarks, he stated that he was willing to stand his ground on conclusions that were founded on facts. He averred that the one great mistake of the community was the reaching of hasty conclusions. "It pays before reaching conclusions on any great issue to know the facts." "You can't go by hearsey. Isn't that so?" he asked. "Yes," shouted some of the sisters but some of the brothers looked scornfully around at one another and said nothing. Further on he stated that his case was "in the Supreme Court above," (pointing upward). "Everybody wants to see the man who has created such a sensation." "That's why there are so many out this morning." "Come, we are glad to have you worship wih us," are among some of the things he said. "God has numerous ways of bringing people out to hear his word, though oftimes causing embarrassment." he declared Referring to the hearing of his case last Tuesday week, he said that while the hearing was going on, he was preparing the sermon which he was then delivering and that he "didn't care a rap about what was going on down there." In extending an invitation to those wishing to become members, he said: "If there is anyone who feels that this church is good enough, or if they think that I am good enough to be their pastor, let them come forward while the choir sings." The choir sang "Yes, there's one," but there was not "one" who ventured in the direction of the chancel. The pastor, on behalf of the Ladies' Aid Society, was presented with a huge bouquet of roses. Someone sitting near the reporter, was heard to say, "It's all framed to create sentiment." (Continued on page 8) trustees are as follows: Dr. Carroll A. Brooks, president; Mr. Jesse H.

Two Brief Outlines of What Do Men Want? Opinions may vary as to what constitutes the greatest possession of man or woman, but in "What Do Men Want?" the great American drama of the hunt for happiness, Lois Weber, the author and producer, gives a startling definition of man's wants and woman's desires. The hunt for happiness, the big theme in this powerful photodrama, concerns every man and every woman in every town and every city in this country. Happiness, that intangible something that millions and millions of women spend years groping and hoping to attain, comes only with understanding. In every large city the newspaper stories of divorce and separation give proof that women do not understand men, and that men do not understand LOIS W present Her Greatest What Do Ask Mother— She Knows.

"The Great Moment" Elinor Glyn Indorses Settings for Gloria Swanson Picture "This is a most perfect English room!" exclaimed Elinor Glyn, noted British novelist, as the finishing touches were put upon a setting which had been prepared for scenes in "The Great Moment," Gloria Swanson's first Paramount starring vehicle, which will open at the Hiawatha theatre next Wednesday and Thursday. The setting represents the boudoir of an English girl played by Miss Swanson, in an ancestral home.

Lois Weber understands both, and in "What Do Men Want?" she supplies the answer to the biggest problem in the life of every woman of today. And she supplies it in series of soul-stirring events that you will never forget. "What Do Men Want?" is a big picture, with a big theme that men and women in all walks of life will want to see. It is a bigger picture than "Where Are My Children?" "The Price of a Good Time" and other successes that have made Lois Weber famous as a producer of pictures that entertain and moralize. When interviewd yesterday regarding the early showing of "What Do Men Want?" in the Howard Theatre, Manager Murray stated that movie fans of this city who see this great American drama of the hunt for happiness would confirm reports from other cities that Lois Weber has produced her masterpiece. It will be shown at Howard Theater for five days—Monday to Friday—of next week. Men Want Love? Flattery? Excitement! Wealth? Babies? Adventure? Home? Thrills? "What DO Men Want?" A WOMAN Answers. author, who wrote the story especially for Miss Swanson, rendered valuable assistance to the director in other angles of production, and especially in the dressing of the English settings. In this story Miss Swanson is seen as the half Gypsy daughter of an English Lord, whose father rears her in strict seclusion, fearing that her mother's nomadic instincts will assert themselves over the subdued English culture. Later, however, on a trip to America, the girl falls in love with a young mining engineer, is bitten by a rattle-snake and taken by him to his mountain cabin. There, intoxicated from the whiskey which he had given her as an antidote, she feels the gypsy spell and brings about a situation which results in many dramatic and highly emotional episodes. Milton Sills plays the leading supporting role, Sam Wood directed and the story was picturized by Monte M. Katterjohn.

The Bathing B Lafayette Theatre burlesque house M Simms and War Mrs. Osborn returns home from a trip East and brings with her Cordelia and Jack Wilson, who, unknown, to her, are a couple of adventurers in search of prey. By disclosures made when the Wilsons are introduced in the Osborn home it is revealed that Cordelia is the woman in Arthur Lynn's "affair." Osborne sees Cordelia alone and offers her a sum to leave his home at once, but she refuses and threatens, for revenge on Lynn, to break up the happiness of the young couple. Complications arise when Jack Wilson makes improper advances to Mrs. Osborn, is caught in the act and thrown from the house. The plot deepens when Wilson, by a clever ruse, succeeds in getting Osborn from the home and attempts to rob Mrs. Osborn. There are many tense moments and dramatic situations before the affair is finally straightened out and the Osborn household is restored to harmony. The picture has a distinguished cast of players. Harry Morey plays the role of the husband; Kathryn Williams the wife; Grace Valentine and Roland Bottomley the adventurers; Faire Binney and Matt Moore the young lovers, whose romance is almost shattered. The production was directed by Ralph Ince, whose many former photoplays have earned him a place in the front rank of directors.

Again, many thanks—Conductor.] Journeyed afoot down to Judge Bailey's court, where disputes are legally settled. The case of a prominent churchman was up for hearing. Upon reaching the scene, I found a multitudinous assemblage of inquisitors lined up in the corridors leading to the court room. "Keep the corridors clear," squawked a half a dozen iron-jawed, tight-looking court officers. Withdrawing my credentials from my waist-coat and presenting same to one of these birds and believing that I would be readily admitted, I was told to back up. I informed one of the blockers that I was an actual bona fide reporter. "Can't hep that, git back over dere," he shouted. Like a buck private, I obeyed. Though the case was not scheduled to be called until one-thirty, one of the officers told me that a "flock of folks" had come as early as ten o'clock, bringing their nose-bags with them. Accosting a neatly attired gentleman, bearing the dignity of one in authority, who was emerging from the office of the United States Marshal; I exhibited my official pass. I was then, immediately and politely escorted into the court room, through a lane, fromed by the same birds, who had just refused me admittance. My distinguished escort later proved to be none other than Mr. Maurice Splain (himself), the United States Marshal, and the boss of the cherry-nosed manhandlers.

CO. 640 North West Street INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA real barrister, I took a deep interest in the case from start to finish. John Wilson, a successful young member of the bar, whom we knew during the "good old days" as "Sleepy" Wilson, was among those, who occupied seats within the reservation for members of the bar. Charley Hill, the Parents League and Odd Fellows' attorney and a famous legal light, was also among the interested spectators. The entire front row of seats was occupied by some stuffy-looking well-fed dignitaries, but none of them, of any known quantity. The aroma that was emitted from the direction of one of these ecclesiastical appearing gentleman, besmelt of very recent boot-boozery dealings. At intervals, he was heard to make guttal tones that could be heard all over the court room. With uncertain tread, he later vacated. After the court's ruling, Managing Ed. and the writer strolled down Louisiana Ave., in the direction of Seventh Street. Took a peep at the Liberty Department store, a Colored concern, but I was impressed by the utter lack of traffic on the side of the street on which it is located. A worthy race enterprise of this sort, surely deserves a far more habitable location. Boarded a Seventh Street green taxi, headed Tribuneward. Friend Willie Walker dropped off at R Street to go home to feed. Butted into Robert (Bob) Thompson and Vernon Green, a pair of social "cubs." Bob is preparing to make an honest living arguing before the bar of justice some day. Vernon is an old gridiron star of old M Street High and Howard University. Some day, he expects to pull and fill teeth for his cakes. With these "fellers," we journeyed down to the Washington Times office, in which plant, I served in various capacities for more than twelve years. Boarding an elevator, we were shot up twelve stories to the editorial department of the paper. We visited each department and received a thorough demonstration of the mechanism of a number of modern intricate machines. Some of the interesting personages that we met were "Heavy" Brown, "Speed" Dowling, Jean Eliot, and Kirk Miller, the nut writer and the author of the "Skillet Finn" stories that appear daily in the Washington Times. A cartoon that was drawn by the writer several years ago, still occupies a place in the "chamber of horrors." Nightfall found the "one day last week" columnist seeking relaxation. Arrived at the Mu-so-lit club on R Street, the only one of its kind maintained by race men in the country. The club occupies a handsomely furnished pressed brick structure, containing twelve spacious rooms, including dormitory accommodations. This club was organized about twenty years ago. It has a membership of more than 300 of Washington's representatives race citizenry. The clicking of balls attracted my attention to the billiard rooms where gathered the knights of the cue-stick, hundreds-or-busters and billiard sharks. Was greeted by Dr. "Sum" Wormley, well-known dental artist and president of the club. Doc rang for cigars and we blew smoke rings for several minutes, while we discussed the general topics of the day. Tried my hand at "hundred-or-bust." Won a gang of games at the outset, but later, I was counted out by some real "hams." In the "gallery" sat Charley Hall, census expert; "Bill Dip" Wilkinson, billiardist extraordinary; Henry Murray, professional rooter; Col. Tom Clarke, of Spanish-American War Fame; Mort Harris, the infant reality dealer; Freddie Cruso, with his golden smile; Percy Bond, the insurance salesman; Fred Cook, past master in the billiard art; E. L. Scott, realty dealer and Norman D. Murray (I said all about him that's fit to print, in last week's column). This club's roll includes men in all crawls of life. Had anyone taken suddenly ill, there would have been surely enough physicians on the premises. Among the weilders of the saw and knife fraternity were Drs. A. M. Curtis, Frye, Henry Freeman, Price Hurst and other medicine men, whom it was my misfortune not to know. Mr. Grigsby, the caretaker is an indispensable fixture here. He is as affable as one need be. He deserves much credit for the painstaking care of the place. After walking about ten or twenty miles around the tables Norman was kind enough to haul me home in his gas wagon.

Father Ehrle, the ex-librarian of the Holy See comes from the Vatican and passes with a great port folio under his arm, saluting hastily his Germans, among whom is Kappenberg. The Hon. Longin, of Montividio has hastened to give a glance at the crisis, which to judge from his heated conversation with a group of Lombards and Venetians, are adherents of Cardinal Rathe. A French Committee is now making its way to the conclave. "Here and there are seen diplomats of one or the other continents, in groups or in company with Italians, also the ladies of the diplomatic corps. There are present representatives of all the religious orders and in the crowd are young persons of all the colleges of the various Catholic nations; Irish, Belgians, North Americans, South Americans, Czechoslovakians, Rumanians, Armenians, Maroniters, Lebanons, missionaries from the Orient missions, pupils of the Propaganda, etc. "Suddenly with the step of a goddess, there breaks thru the crowd, the majestic figure of a young woman, tall, enveloped in a rich Tibetian shawl, edged with fur. She has a dark brown complexion, somewhat high cheek bones and nostrils rather dilated. She is followed by a servant in livery and by a ceremonious little old man, who is giving her explanations in English. This Ethiopian Artemis, as a Greek lyric poet would have called her, excited curiosity in the midst of the International crowd, in which were not lacking even sons of the Far East and descendants of the Incas and the Aztecs—the Negro race has sent a beautiful model and it is in fact Miss Lelia Walker Wilson, of New York.

Howard Girls Organize Sorority On January fourth, nineteen hundred twenty-two, twenty-six Howard University Medical Girls met and organized a sorority, known as the Rho Psi Phi, comprising girls of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical departments exclusively. These serious minded girls felt the need of a closer union in fellowship, the maintenance of higher moral standards, stimulation to greater efforts, encouragement and dissemination for the advancement of colored women of the Medical sciences. These sturdy young ladies need the hearty co-operation of every one interested in the women of the professional world. The medical school faculty, the other fraternities and sororities of Howard University, (especially the Chi Delta Mu medical fraternity) extend their congratulations and sincere wishes for the prosperity of this sorority. This is the greatest movement undertaken by women of any of the professional schools in America, and should these young ladies be successful in carrying out their aim, the medical profession will be put on a higher plane, because, "No race can rise higher than its womanhood." The Rho Psi Phi hopes to organize Chapters in every Medical school where there are colored women. The Howard University Medical school boast of thirty-seven young women and hope this movement will be the means of enticing more young women to enter the different branches of the medical professions. The officers of this sorority are as follows: Miss Mary Jane Watkins, president; Miss Eva Mae Ziegler, 1st vice-president; Miss Lula Mildred Jeter, 2nd vice-president and reporter; Mrs. Willa Nance Johnson, secretary; Miss Bessie Badham, corresponding secretary; Miss Mae Cecele King, treasurer.

[forehead as he leaned heavily against |the windowsill where he sat in the | moving interurban car. ‘This red- brown youth, of autumn tint, wasn’t |a coward, at alll; but his nerves were terribly unstrung. With° trembling hand he fingered the unopened letter he pulled from his pocket. Could he side-step trouble long enough to enjoy his two weeks’ vacation? ‘This was one pay day he wasn’t as happy as he should have been. Al- bert Miller had no intention of ac- |cepting superstition as part of his re- ligion but what puzzled him, would almost distress a modern Solomon. After standing in line before the pay- office for more than an hour, he had decided to take a nap, while awaiting the paymaster of the Osage Turpen- tine Mill. Then the foreman handed him a letter. That the postmark as- sured him it came from Ethel Sweet, only served to magnify his desire for sleep—a little sleep. Why not have |a short dream of her? He would save the letter for wholesome reading while on the train enroute to Philadel- phia and her. Not being fastidious about his “tur- pentine clothes,” he dropped on the freer poard-walk and slept. Ere long he was awakened by a crowd of white boys and girls—from fourteen to sev- | enteen—who insisted that he should help them “rescue the Princess.” "Three seconds he pondered: Reluct- lant toward joining a game\he did not understand, yet cognizant of com- pulsive requests prevalent in some-sec- [tions of Dixie, he finally consented | when it was explained that they would |abduet the “Princess”—a chosen girl. |The “Plotters” would confine the lit, tle “Princess”. in an elongated dry- ‘goods box, especially for that pur- pose, and convey her across the bridge fa prisoner. ‘Then the “rescue” party, [would advance, stage a “pitched bat-| tle” with her “eaptors? and return the “Princess” to her “homeland.” His part of the drama simply embraced the carrying of the “Princess” twice over the long bridge. “Prineess” was literary stuffed into the box, and Al ‘bert shouldered his burden and began the journey. Cries of the “Princess,” | whose head and arms protruded from ithe top of the box, were mingled with | the “raucous” shouts of her “eaptors.” |Albert staggered on, occasionelly shifting the weight to rest certain muscles. Midway the bridge the frantic efforts of the captive to escape resulted in the bottom of the box being kicked out; the “Princess” slipped out of her*prison, over the railing and into the muddy waters of the river’ ‘below, leaving Albert carrying the’ ‘empty box. The children were horror- ‘stricken; and with one accord blamed Albert. But Albert awoke. | | “They're about thro’ paying off,” ctime a gruff voice to his scattered senses. “Better get in line.” A light boot prodded his ribs. In great haste he got his money, dressed for travel and boarded an in- terurban train to Goneville, instead of taking the railroad direct to Phila- delphia. A little roundabout way of getting out of Dixie would avoid ighannels thro’ which part of his hor- rid dream might come true. Come to think of it, every dream has a mean- ing. Could Ethel Sweet be in trouble? ‘Once more Albert fingered the let- ter nervously; then opened it. “fm so glad you are coming, ‘Al. bert,” the letter concluded, “yet I would rather—” Rather odd way for Ethel to end her letter, mused Albert. ‘There must be\ something wrong at her house. Could she be the “Princess” of his dream? If so, she was in some kind of difficulty. His first attack of un- easiness subsided and Albert con- tinued his journey with a new appre- hension. The train didn’t travel to Philadelphia fast enough for him. If he was in time to help Ethel out of a grave situation, everything would end with a wedding ring. ‘Sunshine and soft lazy clouds played over the big city when he heard the conductor call out: “Broad Street Sta- tion, West Philadelphia.” Directly the train pulled in and Albert alighted Fe a ce a a aie : From the architect to the painters—bricklayers, carpenters, steel constructors, cement workers, steam fitters and even tile = setters—all the money spent in the erection of this building went into the hands of Colored men. a.

Whatever it is, I_want to help.” “Nothing at all, Al,” she tried to smile; but only a grimace resulted as the prety lips dropped at the corn- ers. “Of course I haven't been myself lately because mother has. worried her- self sick.” In melancholly resignation ‘she started for the kitchen. 7A “Wait!” commanded Albert. “How Jong has your mother been sick? And who is her nurse?” “She's been sick five weeks. I’ve been her nurse. She's. Some better, now.” Ethel stood uncertainly in the kitehen door. “That means you are not working— lost your job!” exclaimed Albert in an aggrieved tone. Here was indeed a harsh turn of fate to the little home. He knew Mrs. Sweet was a widow; and Ethel was the “bread-winner” of the household. Ethel merely nodded, reached her handkerchief, while her young eyes filled with brimming tears; her should- ers shook violently as she bit her lip’ and hurried into the kitchen. Albert sat down heavily. Gosh; What a sit- ‘uation! His vacation would not be ‘altogether happy; he'd better look for ‘a job in Philadelphia. Thirty-five dollars was the sum total of his re- sourees, with which to help himself and everybody else. But there was ‘something he could do for the girl he loved dearly. Noislessly he tipped into the kitchen ‘and took Ethel’s arm. oa “Don't worry, dear. I’m going to help,” he tried to console her. “Dry your tears, sweetheart. Don't puil away from me. Love cures all ills. Believe in me! I can do—anything!” He had yet to learn the delectable circumstances of the home. Yet, to- gether they peeped into the bed-room and found Ethel’s mother sleeping comfortably. Albert returned to the ‘parlor when the doorbell rang. | Jimmy, Ethel’s tiny brother ushered ‘in the visitor. | “T have been tending to mother so closely,” began Ethel, speaking to the real estate man, “that I haven't had time to get to the bank for the rent money.” | “It’s too bad your mother is sick,” ‘remarked the caller. “But” “Tl be down to your office to- morrow,” said Ethel in finality. _ “But——” the man made haste to ‘continue, | “No arguments in a house where a lady lies sick abed!” snapped Albert, showing the man the-door, As the fellow sulked out, Albert followed him, paid the rent and pocketed the receipt. Re-entering the house, he picked up two-letters in the vestibule. Ethel spent several minutes ‘reading them, “The Stoncheart Furniture Co. is so ‘strict about payments,” she confided in Albert. “If the last payment of eighty dollars isn’t paid within three days, they're coming after the fur- niture. It’s dreadful to think. that the furniture is nearly paid for. I missed last month’s forty-dollar pay- ment; so, they say pay it all this| month. ‘Today is the last day; but we have three days of grace.” Then her eyes brightened when she re-read the other letter. “This is from uncle—an uncle that mother had lost track of some years ago. He informs me he will be here in a couple of days to donate me an allowance—he's very rich in Qklaho- ma oil.” With the news she hurried to her mother’s bedside. The effect was tremendously sudden. Mrs. Sweet actually got out of bed, dressed and began tidying up the various rooms— well that quick. “Your uncle must see an air of independence about us,” she told her daughter in a voice that was once strong. , While joyous hearts cut capers about the good fortune, the bell rang furiously. A Western Union messen- ger thrust an envelop thro’ the crack of the door; and Ethel hurriedly PEE fig A es Cee Eugenics Bill Goes Through N. J. Legislature Trenton, N.

Alexander, As- semblyman from Orange, N. J. This measure had been before the assembly on three other occasions, but each time it occasioned more dis- cussion than any measure that has been before the House for several years. Dr. Alexander made a strong argument on the merits of the bill; and following this. he was subjected for more than an hour to a “cross-fire” of questioning. He met all of the ob- jections logically and adroitly. The vote was 33 to 19 in favor of the measure, and when Speaker Rowland announced the result there was a great out-burst of applause from the large number of spectators who were present. : - Pullman Porter Tips By Quentin Porter James Blakely (P. 7.) died om the Broadway Limited, enroute to Chi- cago last. week. ‘The Railroad Men’s Club in Chicage was held up by two white bandits re- cently, securing $5000.

After paying a week’s board and lodging, Albert gaped at two dollars and eighty-three cents—his balance. Ethel’s_ uncle would arrive in four days. The rent was paid; but what is a house with- out furniture? | He called at the Stonehart office and entreatedsthe credit man to grant and extension of time but; the firm was adamant. Ere he left, Albert called out in exasperation: “You hard- fisted devils will never get that fur- niture. You've got me to deal with!” As he walked out he combed his wits for a means of borrowing the money; impossible. Still, he had told Ethel he could do anything. He was really duplicating his dream,—trying to carry his girl over a bridge of sighs; but his hands were like the empty box. He wondered if he was getting gray. With renewed hope he conceived a fresh idea on the afternoon of the last day of grace allotted Mrs. Sweet. That ought to do it. It was worthy trying anyhow. Hurrying to the postofiice he purchased a money order—a very small order—sealed it in an envelope and slipped it thro’ the cashier's win dow at Stoneheart’s Furniture Co. In dread he waited the passing of a few more days. Ethel’s uncle ar- rived, negotiated her allowance and stayed nearly a week. One morning, when Albert called to see Ethel, she got a letter from Stoneheart Furniture Co. When she opened it a money order dropped out. “What's the meaning of this, AL bert?” she queried. “I sent them an eighty-cent money order, which is six per cent on $80 for two months.” “How did you think of it?” she brightened. “Now read their letter and explain it.” Then Albert read proudly: - Dear Mrs. Sweet: We have your letter enclosing money order for eighty cents, which you state is to cover interest on final Payment while you give the matter further consideration. We are re- turning herewith the order. It is im- Perative to call promptly on receipt of this letter. “Yours truly, : Stonehart Co. “It took them a week to decide to reject the money order,” laughed Al- bert, kissing Ethel fervently. “That gave you the necessary: extension of time.” ae “You dear boy,” she smiled. “I must go and pay Saba ‘at once.” Copyright, 1922, John Lewis Hillman A Conducted by C.

The tablet has been placed conspicuously in the Cayuga County Court House. It was paid for chiefly by personal contributions, mostly from people in Auburn and vicinity. The woman in whose memory the tablet has been erected had a most eventful career. She was born in slavery in Maryland and escaped by running away when a young woman. After she had secured her freedom, she took up the work of conducting runaway slaves to Canada, mainly by what came to be called the Underground Railroad. For that purpose she made many trips into slave States, encountering grave dangers and enduring great privations. When the Civil War made such work no longer necessary, she became a nurse and a spy, rendering valuable service to the Union cause. It is difficult to view the facial features of this heroine as depicted on this tablet without wincing at what must be called—putting it mildly—the bold literalness of the portrayal. In fact, literalness, if it really is that, has here been carried quite beyond the limits of good taste. This woman, whose life-history is like a romance and a hero tale combined, lived, it is true, to a great age; but it is probable that for relatively only a short period of her life, were her features as shriveled, misshapen, and pitifully distorted, as they are here depicted—if indeed they ever were. If the artist intended to do something "striking" he failed; for what he actually did was merely stupid. A picture of "Aunt Harriet," as she was affectionately called, evidently from a late photograph, appeared in the "Auburn Citizen" in connection with the account of the unveiling ceremonies. The difference between this "likeness" and the one on the tablet is marked. (See picture herewith. Ed.) The people of Auburn, where Mrs. Davis lived so long and where she died, probably had no intention to ridicule her; and it is also probable that, knowing her personal character so well, they can manage to tolerate—for the sake of supposed art and truth—the haggish physiognomy which we see on this tablet. But many of us who were outside of her personal acquaintance, altho we would be pleased to see her work and her sacrifices properly commemorated yet find it difficult to reconcile such raw realism—if it is indeed realism—with genuine, deep-seated respect. Art fails of its purpose, if purported realism be pushed to the point where it appears to be inconsiderate or verges on offense; and in no case is it permissible, in the name of art, to do that which is manifestly unbecoming or which will tend to excite ridicule. The inscription on the tablet, while excellent in the main, yet in part reinforces one's objections to the facial portrayal. One sentence reads: "On my underground Railroad I nebber run my train off 'de track and I nebber los' a passenger." We might as well be frank about it—such honors are too much like "puddings rolled to us in the dust." (Note: This article is taken from Mr. Freeman H. M.

I am proud of my race because the Negro is making fine progress when you consider the time he has had. A few years back he was a slave, but now he constantly forges to the front. It didn't seem possible that his name would ever be written on the United States money—but it is. EMILY DAVIS (Age 13) Dear Editor: I am very interested in the "Children's Page" I have never answered any puzzles before. I like the Page. MYRTLE E. DAVIS (Age 10) Dear Editor: My mother buys the Tribune for me. I love the "Children's Page." I attend Garnet School, 8-B Grade. Miss E. E. Perry is my teacher. Note: Don't let granny scrap-bag get my drawing. ALMA GIBSON (Age ?) Loyalty Be loyal to your country, Be loyal to your race, Be loyal and strive for liberty No matter what the case.

Dear Mr. Frazier: I am very interested in the "Children's Page" and I would like to join the T. P. C. C.

Your dolls are now members of the Doll's Club—Ed.) Dear Editor: I am a little girl six years old and I hope to go to school soon; also to join the T. P. C. C. My sister reads me the "Children's Page" every week and I enjoy it very much. I have a little colored doll by the name of Elizabeth who would like to join the Doll's Club. RUTH E. BANNISTER (Note: Hello, Elizabeth is welcome and so are you. Write again—Ed.) Dear Editor: I would like for my colored doll to join the Doll's Club. Her name is Mary. My own age is eight and I go to Patterson School in the 3-B Grade. Miss G. A. Brown is my teacher. JUANITA BANNISTER (Note: Welcome to Mary as a member of the Doll's Club—Ed.) Dear Editor: I have not written to the Page for some time. I am just writing and hope to be "Honor Child" as I have already been "Special" twice so I am striving to reach a higher mark. THADDEUS ACWITH (Age ?) Can you imagine a person who claims he is proud of his race and who condemns other people for lack of race pride—can you imagine that person being given serious consideration if he uses the word "nigger" in all of his conversations? If girls could see themselves working their jaws when their mouths are full of chewing gum they would refrain from doing it.

The established white press of this city is vicious enough in stirring up race prejudice, but there appeared last week, a little four page sheet, "The Bumble Bee" that is destined to instigate another race riot. "The Bumble Bee" is the rankest and vilest publication that has come to our attention. We realize that Washington, altho the nation's capital, is completely Southernized and race prejudice is evident on every hand. But we also know that a large majority of the colored citizens of the capital city belong to the "new type of colored people"—capable of thinking for themselves and acting in their own defense. Therefore, a few more issues of the "Bumble Bee" with its vile cartoons, conceived in race prejudice, and catering to the rabble, ruffian element of the white race, will precipitate a race clash here in the capital that will shock the civilized world. Who can conceive of the baneful influence of such a statement as this? "A few insurgent blacks, to whom a little knowledge is proving a dangerous thing, would upset the lines drawn by God and man. Thank God, it is not possible." That is a paragraph from an editorial in the "Bumble Bee," headed "White Supremacy." The last sentence says: "To perpetuate the distinction set by God, The Bumble Bee steps into the field, bearing a large, sharp stinger." We would say to the "Bumble Bee" that The Tribune has the sword with which to sever this stinger. The whole back page of the "Bumble Bee" is given over to an advertisement of the K. K. K.; and a laudatory article of the Klan appears on the front page. It is apparent that the "Bumble Bee" is inspired by the K. K. K. With the K. K. K. advertising a parade in Hyattsville and the "Bumble Bee" appearing on the streets of Washington advocating "White Supremacy," which is the motto of the Ku Klux Klan, it is evident to colored people that there is insidious propaganda going on provacative of racial hatred. But hate will be met with hate, and who can predict the result? CURIOUS CROWD HEARD REV. TAYLOR (Continued from page 1) Deacon Langhorne, deposed chairman of the deacon board, commenting upon Rev. Taylor's sermon said: "Righteousness and Truth will prevail. All of our cases are in the Supreme Court above and they will be settled up there, but there is one that's going to be settled down here." BERT WILLIAMS (Continued from page 1) Egbert Austin Williams, known professionally as Bert A. Williams, born in Nassau, B. W. I., about 46 years ago. He was brought to this country by his parents who settled in Florida, later moving to California, where Bert attended school. His first theatrical experience was with college players who barnstormed around in California during their summer vacation. After leaving school he joined Mastadon's Minstrels which was at the time playing on the Pacific Coast, during this time he met George Walker who was travelling with a medicine man. Williams and George soon afterwards formed the team of Williams and Walker. After drifting about in the far west they finally arrived in Chicago where they were booked at a variety house as Vaudeville houses were called in those days. Later, about 1897, they landed in New York playing at Koster and Bials, the leading variety theater in the city. Their success was so great they were placed at the head of a show the following season, and as this show did not do so well they returned to vaudeville. Around 1899 their greatest success "In Dahomey," was staged after playing in this country, the Company was carried to England, where they met with instant success playing before royalty both in public and private. During this engagement they introduced the Cake Walk which British society took up. Returning to this country the next season billing themselves the "Kings Komedians." Their next show was "Sons of Ham" followed by "Abyssinia" and the next "Vehicle Bandanna Land," and this was the last time they appeared as co-stars as Walker was forced to leave the company in mid-season on account of illness. His part was played the remainder of the season by his wife Aida Overton By Quentin ington might as well begin pre- f.

The next season Bert appeared alone in a play called "Mr. Lode of Konal." Vaudeville called him again for a short period from where he was engaged by Flo. Ziegfield for the Follies, co-starring with Leon Errol, Eddie Cantor, Lee Wrothe, Nora Bayes and other luminaries. He remained in the Follies for ten seasons, leaving at the end of season 1920. In 1921 he co-starred in a show called Broadway Review where he was as usual a success. His last offering was called "Under the Bamboo Tree' and was having a successful season as a star until his collapse in Detroit last week which brought on his untimely death. Among the first floral tributes to be received by the bereaved family came from Flo. Ziegfield and Nora Bayes. The funeral services were held at St. Phillips Episcopal Church, New York, followed by Masonic rites at the Masonic Temple. Bert was made a Mason in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1907. LOCALS LOCALS Mrs. Estelle Carroll of Southwest is ill at her home. Mr. Andrew J. McGhee and Miss Ruby C. Wood, both of Richmond, Va., were recently united in marriage by Rev. T. E. Davis. Miss Ada Williams of this city is visiting in Pittsburgh, Kansas. The students of Armstrong are planning an operetta, under the direction of Mr. Amos; it is to be given at an early date. The Girls Reserve Sewing Club which is held each week at Birney School, is proving to be a great success. The funeral of Mrs. Henrietta Beckett of 1151 First Street, N. W., was held from Augustine Church. She died at her home. Mrs. C. M. Tanner of 1444 Q Street, N. W., is spending some time in Cambridge, Md. She delivered an address before the school there. Prof. Wellington Adams is having great success with the Community centers in the music departments. --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 SPORTS (Continued from page 4) the press. The press made the Dempsey-Carpentier flasco. And it can and will stage the Dempsey-Wills match when the financial and political powers see fit. But at present not "public opinion" but "press fear" stands in the way. White sport writers know the challenger's class far better than the readers of their data and every effort is made to kill interest in the proposed fight. They recall the days of "white hope" hunting and fear the possibility of a black again being king of the pugilistic world. We know of but one white paper (The Winning Post) whose sporting page has been consistent in its demand for a chance for Wills against the champion. But not only one but all Colored fighters must suffer the pangs of "Jim Crowism." Many claim it is the result of the actions of Jack Johnson but in such a claim the creditable work of Gans, Dixon, Walcott and Jackson is overlooked. These men did not have to fight men of their color only as the present day fighter has. In these days of fabulous purses black fighters must be contented with any offer. Take the most recent offer to the champion to meet Wills, $350,000; $50,000 more than he received for putting Carpentier away. The promoter said that Wills' share would be announced later. He will possibly be offered about $75,000 while Carpentier received $200,000. And they say the sporting world is the fairest and squaresst. All bunk! Edwards Beats New England Champ Danny Edwards the Pacific coast sensation in his second appearance in the East made it two victories in a row by out-pointing Abe Friedman, the New England bantan-weight champion in a tgn round bout at Boston Monday night. Edwards is living up to all advance reports that came ahead of him. He is managed by GeoMoore a well-known and highly respected Colored man from the Northwest, a man of considerable means and one of the leading fistic promoters of the West. JABS AND SIDESTEPS Danny Edwards, Los Angeles bantam, defeated Church Singgs, New England champion feather-weight, in a ten round battle last week in Boston. Harry Frazee, theatrical and baseball magnate, made an offer to Dempsey, guaranteeing him $350.00 if he will fight Wills, Saturday before Labor Day. The site has not been decided on. It may be Boston, New York or Jersey City. Boxing was again made legal in Havana, Cuba recently. The Mayor, who banned boxing several months ago, annulled his decree and accepted a revised version of the Marquis of Queensbury rules. A boxing commission named by the Department of Interior will supervise the sport throughout the republic.

Why can't the local fraternities pool their building funds and build a decent building so conventions can visit our city? Why haven't we a colored drug store? Why can't we have a Negro on the School Board? Why don't our local Sunday School Superintendents unite and have a Sunday School campaign? Why do local business concerns seek capital and fail to produce commendable management as a bid for the purchase of stock? Why should our places of amu ment be owned by white people or Jews and claim to be owned by Negroes; and others owned by Negroes give holiday dates to non-residents? Why do many of the local theater patrons here annoy other patrons by constant loud conversation and the reading aloud of captions? Why can't the night school at St. Joseph's be better attended? These are general questions—not personal. Forward what you think of them to me. Be brief and to the point, writing not more than 300 words. Address: C. Leslie Frazier, Tribune office, Washington, D.
