The Washington Tribune Red Jackson Fights Extradition to Va. SOUTHERN LAWYER REBUKED FOR USING OFFENSIVE TERMS IN JUSTICE HITZ' COURT All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. II. No. 2 Red Ja SOUTHERN LAW FOR USING OFF IN JUSTICE The fight against the extradition of Red Jackson, to Virginia came up before Justice Hitz last Friday and was continued until Monday, June 5th. Jackson is accused of attacking a white woman by the name of Hawkins at her home in Arlington County, Va., during the month of March. Miss Hawkins lived alone and worked in one of the Government departments in Washington. Her assailant is alleged to have attacked her and left her tied to a post in a barn in the rear of her home. During the court trial last Friday, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Farr of Virginia, who represented the State, while questioning Jackson used the word "darkey." Immediately Attorney Royal Hughes objected and called the court's attention to this gross insult and demanded an apology from the Southerner. Realizing that he had to apologize, Farr stated that he would apologize to the court only and at this point, Attorney Hughes stated that he did not want his apology, if the Southerner was no more of a gentleman than that. The incident greatly chagrined the Southerner as the coloring of his face showed. Attorney Armond W. Scott has charge of the case and is being assisted by Attorney Royal A. Hughes. Every effort will be made to prevent Jackson's return to Virginia. Many witnesses in Jacksons' behalf, including a prominent contractor from Baltimore, for whom Jackson worked. Attorneys Scott and Hughes are determined that Jackson will not be sent back, where it is a certainty that he will be immediately railroaded to the death chair if he escapes the lynchers' noose. At the time of the alleged crime, no clue as to the identity of the assailant was found; but the white newspapers and some of the Virginia authorities attempted to fasten the case on some Colored man. Several men were arrested, but because of the lack of indentification by the alleged victim, they were released. It is significant that the sheriff refused to take part in the big "man hunt." A few days after the crime, a Colored man by the name of Red Jackson was arrested by the police in Georgetown, who had been working near Falls Church. He was immediately labeled a suspect and the Virginia authorities notified. His extradition was sought. Jackson was kept in a cell at the 7th Precinct for 22 days by the police department, where he had to sleep on a bench and with very little accommodation. During this time it is alleged that the Virginia authorities were permitted to see Jackson and question him. Jackson's extradition from the District is sought on charges of housebreaking in addition to the alleged rape. The owner of the house which Jackson is said to have broken into was unable to give the exact date the alleged robbery took place. JAPANESE PROFESSOR VISITS DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL Dr. S. Konishi, Professor of Education, Kioto Imperial University, Japan, inspected the equipment of classroom work at Dunbar High School, on Friday, May 12. His special interests were history, language, music and science classes, in each of which he observed one or more lessons. N.A.A.C.P.DRIVE EXTENDED TO END OF MAY The Drive for 25,000 members which has been in progress since April 23 and was to close on May 15, has been extended, according to the announcement of Shelby J. Davidson Executive Secretary and Colonel of the Drive, until the end of this month. The numerous workers in the field and the number of outstanding pledges to the workers has made it impossible to close as intended without an injustice to the efforts put forward. Thus far, with very incomplete returns of which no definite approximation can be made, the Drive is very satisfactory and it is hoped when the two weeks expire and the results can be announced that the showing will be in every way creditable to the interest which is being conserved. On Sunday next, the regular meeting in the series will be held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets, N. W. Rev. J. C. Olden, Pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, will deliver the address. HIGH SCHOOL BAND TO LEAD CADETS AT DRILL The High School Regimental Band will lead the 24th Regiment of High School Cadets to the field of conquest in the annual competitive drill to be held at the American League Park on Monday, June 12. At the weekly round table of Dunbar officers, Captain James A. Williams reported that the men of Company "A" had their eyes grimly set on the goal and were drilling with a precision and determination calculated to win. Captain Egbert Facey was inspired to say that close inspection of Company "B" in action gives evidence of preparation most difficult to defeat. Captain Hyman Chase gave assurance that Company "E" welcomes the contest and will leave the battleground in triumph success. Captain Charles Drew reported that Company "F" was "out to win," and that his men have caught the true spirit and will bring back the prize. Captain Daniel Doy serves notice that Company "K" has no purpose for entering the contest except to return the "White Flag," the victory emblem, to old Dunbar. Horace Dove, military wizard and Dunbar's battalion mascot, contended that all the companies were well matched, and the sign of the Oracle was so mystified and confusing that it was impossible to foretell the winning company in advance of the decision of the Judges. Dunbar girls are displaying commendable school spirit; class groups are giving encouragement to their favorite companies; and the general student body has securely anchored its hope in victory for old Dunbar. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 Big Drama by Miller & Lyles Plays Howard "The Flat Below," Miller and Lyles drama on Negro life, will play here for one week beginning Monday.

BARRY FARM CITIZENS MEET Last Tuesday evening the members of the Barry Farm Citizens Association which is one of the most active in the District, packed the C. M. E. Church at Staunton and Pomroy Roads Anacostia, in one of the most interesting meetings in the history of the association. Mr. E. S. Hoffman, the president had all necessary maps and papers to definitely show the citizens where the new streets will be laid out and what property will be affected, by the recent ruling of the Supreme Court. Major Cary H. Brown, U. S. A. Corps of Engineers and Assistant to the Engineer Commisisoner of District of Columbia, was the principal speaker and gave a very interesting talk. Secretary Braxton read many communications received and sent by the Association since the last meeting. This correspondence dealt with many important community problems. The association plans a big celebration for July 4th and already Greenwillow Park has been secured. The association went on record as favoring two mail deliveries a day for that section and will take steps to secure the second delivery. Among the visitors present was Dr. Garnett, who will open a new drug store in that section; Mr. Whitfield McKinley, Lieut. Thos. H. R. Clark, Mr. Flagg and Mr. Wm. O. Walker of the Tribune. The fifth annual Spanish Carnival was given on Monday afternoon, May 15. The idea in this program was, likewise, the entertainment given for the King and Queen of the Carnival. The procession of the gaily costumed participants was followed by the crowning of the King and Queen, Harry Mickey and Adrienne Marshall. After this ceremony their majesties were entertained by singing by "Lady" Anola Miller and dances by "Lady" Lenora Scott. "A Clown's Serenade" proved effective by being a ukelele solo by Louise Jefferson, to which the company of clowns danced. The next number consisted of the "Judgment of King Carnival" and the third and fourth parts, two plays entitled "Las Solteronas" and "Zaroqueta." Each part in the play was translated from Spanish by the pupil presenting it. The scenic effects, produced largely by a big electric central piece, was most pleasing and added much to the occasion. SENS. BORAH AND LODGE PROMISE ACTION ON ANTI-LYNCHING BILL SENS. BORAH AND LODGE PROMISE ACTION ON ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Wm. Monroe Trotter and a Delegation Tell Senator Lodge to "Get Busy" The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will be reported to the Senate next week early. This was the positive statement Wednesday afternoon of Senator Borah, chairman of the sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to Secretary William Monroe Trotter of the National Equal Rights League, who headed a delegation of which Maurice W. Spencer and Judge E. H. Hewlett were members present. At noon a delegation of the Equal Rights League, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, National President, consisting of W. M. Trotter, Chairman, Jas. L. Neill M. W. Spencer, Judge E. M. Hewlett and J. Louis Taylor, had an audience with Senator Lodge, presenting a petition with five thousand Massachusetts signatures to the senator urging him as Republican Leader to advance the Dyer Bill. Complaint was made of the long delay of the Judiciary Committee and Senator Lodge was asked to call a Republican Senate conference to request the committee to report out the bill at once for action before Congress adjourns. Senator Lodge said he would start by asking the sub-committee to act, and if not successful would then try for the Republican conference. In two hours, Senator Lodge's secretary telephoned to Judge Hewlett's office and told Mr. Trotter that Senator Borah had agreed to act at once and that the bill would soon be on the Senate calendar. The delegation then saw Senator Borah at the Capitol. He declared he had been waiting for briefs in constitutionality from lawyers of the N. A. A. C. P. some of them having asked the committee to give them ample time. He said he was not sure of the constitutionality, but would not longer stand the blame his sub-committee was getting for the delay. He would at once telegraph these lawyers to get their briefs in, within forty eight hours, for the bill would be reported out any way on Monday, and the fight be made in the Senate itself. The legal question should not keep the bill from the Senate. On Tuesday Mr. Trotter saw Representative Dyer and got well posted. TESTIMONIAL TO BE GIVEN LIEUT. COL. BROOKS Lieut. Col. Arthur Brooks, formerly military instructor of the High School Cadets, who organized the cadets here 28 or 30 years ago, and left the service about two years ago, was a great factor in the life of the young men of this city. He is to be in the city next month and the men who have seen service under Col. Brooks, either in the District National Guard or as High School Cadets, have arranged to tender a testimonial to Col. Brooks on June 10, 1922. The function will possibly take place at the Whitelaw Hotel. There are about ten men on the general committee, of which assistant superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson is chairman; R. N. Mattingly, secretary; Lieut. Benjamin O. Boyd, treasurer and Prof. Benj. Washington, chairman of the committee on arrangements. dition Anniversary of Union Laborers BankCelebrated The Union Laborers Savings Bank, on 14th Street, opened its campaign, for $50,000 Tuesday night, with a reception at the Whitelaw Hotel. The Laborers Savings Bank has been in operation for a year. The officers that it best to operate a year before asking the public to purchase stock in the company. Twelve thousand and dollars of the stock had been subscribed and the privilege to operate was granted the company. During the year they have cleared more than $200,000 and have conducted both savings and checking systems. When the $50,000 is obtained, the charter will be secured and a full fledged bank will be in operation, making its reports regularly with the other banks of the city. Dr. R. T. Nelson, vice president of the bank, acted as master of ceremonies. After giving a brief review of the history of the bank, he introduced the official family of the bank and called on Mr. J. H. W. Howard, the financial manager, who gave an interesting account of the progress of the institution. Mr. Walter Reynolds, the cashier, was introduced, and read a prepared statement of the bank Other speakers were Mr. Carter, of the Standard Investment Co., Mr. D. E. Taylor, Mr. J. Finley Wilson, Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank; L. K. Langford, architect and Mr. F. D. Lee. President L. Melendez King, of the Laborers Savings Bank was in Baltimore on important business and therefore, could not be present at this, the annual reception of the bank. The dining room of the Whiteclaw was decorated for the occasion. Industrial Bank Statement Shows Much Progress The statement issued by the Industrial Savings Bank, as of May 5, 1922, shows an increase in resources of $17,294.45 over the statement for March 10, less than sixty days ago. This gain in resources is made up from a gain in deposits of $13,784.13; in undivided profits, $2,835.43 and in the sale of stock for $425. The total resources are $556,158.04, of which $505,655.95 are deposits. The capital stock of the bank was increased since the last call of the comptroller of the currency, as well as the fixtures and furniture by $650.67. The total amount of the undivided profits of the bank, $5,827.67 for the first four months of the year, is a feature of the report. Another feature that should be called to the attention of the people of the city is the amount of the school thrift clubs which was $1,910.51 on May 5th. The officials of this bank conceived the idea of helping the children of Washington to save their pennies, nickels and dimes. Therefore, about six weeks ago, Mr. Lewis, the president of the bank, placed saving stamp machines in four schools. The plan proved so popular that he has placed four more and one in the lobby of the bank. This week the total from these school saving clubs amounted to more than $2,500, which is not a mean amount for school children from eight grammar schools to save. By the time the schools close this amount should be around $4,000 for the children, a commendable sum; and the lessons that the children should learn about thrift will produce results in the years to come. The report of The Industrial Savings Bank is a commendable one and should be multiplied by at least three more banks among the colored people of Washington. --- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS to Va. PROF. KERLIN PRAISES THE TRIBUNE CHIL- DREN'S PAGE Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, former head of the English Department at Virginia Military Institute, and a writer on Negro subjects, writes congratulating The Tribune on its first anniversary. Prof. Kerlin has for several years made special study of Negro periodicals and literature. He is the author of a book, "The Voice of the Negro," which is composed of quotations from race periodicals with appropriate comment. He is a constant reader of The Tribune, as well as a large list of other race papers. His letter to The Tribune follows: I wish I had anticipated The Tribune's second birthday, that I might have sent you my congratulations. It well deserves the highest praise—appearance, quality and variety of matter, spirit, everything, is journalism at its best. I wish particularly to commend your Children's Page. There you are absolutely unrivaled. You are fortunate in having such a co-laborer as C. Leslie Frazier. And then is not Mr. McCorkle associated with you? He is another guarantee of high literary standards. I pass my copy of The Tribune on to a community library in the Baptist parsonage here, otherwise I should keep the Children's Page for its permanent value. Yours with heartiest congratulations, ROBERT T. KERLIN. New Taxi Company Operates 21 Fine Cars New Taxi Company Operates 21 Fine Cars To enter business or not to enter? is a constant question. Mr. James M. Miller, answered this question about five years ago and entered the "taxi" service, with one car, at 1448 Florida Avenue. At this address his line was listed as the "A. B. C. Taxi Service." Two years ago, Mr. Miller had an opportunity to take over the District Taxi Cab Co., at 1139 17th Street, N. W. He took over this line and obtained a lease on the house and garage at the 17th Street address, where he is now located and advertising his line as the "Brown and Green Taxicab Co." However, the lines are advertised in the telephone book and by calling either of the lines the service that Mr. Miller offers can be obtained. From one to twenty-one service automobiles in five years is the record that Mr. Miller has made. By conversing with him one will readily observe the reason for his progress. Mr. Miller is a progressive young man. One who gives detailed attention to the busines which he is promoting and by this close attention he has been able to build up a line of patrons sufficient to warrant the purchase and operation of the twenty-one cars. He is ever alert and on the lookout for everything that will place his business in favor with the public. He is original in his ideas for advertising and keeping in touch with the advantages and disadvantages of the service. The rates of the Brown and Green Taxicab Co. are reasonable and their service is prompt. "HE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY.

STOCK OFFERED The Capital Coaster Company which is the company installing the many attractions in Suburban Gardens this year, is offering shares to those people of Washington who wish to invest.

The amusements now being installed will transform the park entirely, and it will certainly deserve the name of America's Finest Colored Amusement Park. One official said "Nothing takes, in an amusement park, as much as a Scenic Railway, and it is certain that the throngs of people who will ride on this amusement this first season will bring quick and positive returns to those who have invested in this enterprise." Great progress is being shown in the work now going on out at the Gardens. The Capital Coaster Company is selling the stock—the public is offered something safe, sound and sure—a golden opportunity.

Layton and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, who was reared in this city, but who now resides in New York Cily, has recently composed two high- class songs that has elicted favorable comment from “Musical America” and others. His latest success “In Dear Old Southland” is sweeping the coun- try and if he continues in his present vein, he will yet reach the highest pinnacle of musical success as com- poser. <A talented group of colored Ameri- can composers are represented in our coming Music Week festivities to be held at Dunbar beginning this month and the character of compositions sub- mitted bespeaks much for the future success of our rising composers. Since so much interest in composing is manifested at this time, we quote Carrie Jacobs Bond, popular composer on “How it feels to write Music”: “I find greatest pleasure in writing songs to appeal to the tender emo- tions; songs that may make a man or woman feel more deeply after singing or hearing them.” Speaking of “The End of a Perfect Day,” which is still sung in thousands of horaes, although it is many years old, Mrs. Bond said that this song was born of the desert.

TWENTY-SEVENTH COMMENCE- MENT AT MANASSAS \arnet \ Wiikinson and George Gor- don Battle, Principal Speakers The Manassas Industrial School, for Colored Youth, Manassas, Virginia has arranged one of the most elaborate Commencement programs in the his- try of this Virginia institution. A series of events will be staged such as re-union of the Alumni, Class night, receptions, Baccalaureate sermon and Commencement which will begin on May 24 and continue through May 30th. A vast throng of Washingtonians and New Yorkers are expected to at- tend the Comencement Day exrecises on account of the fact that the prinei- pal speakers of the oceasion have been chosen from those cities. Mr. Garnett C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superinten- dent of Public Schools, Washington, D. G, is reputed to be one of the most able race educators in the country and also a forceful and convincing speaker Honorable George Gordon Battle, fa- mous barrister, and Wall Street finan- cier, is a philanthropist of national fame. Mr. Edward D. Howe is principal of the school. Congressman Rhodes Address Men's Club On last Monday evening Congress- man M, E. Rhodes of Missouri and ‘Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary- Treasurer of Howard University, ad- dressed the Men’s Club of Asbury Chureh. Remarks were made by At- torney McLaurin and Dr. J. U. King, supplemented by renditions by the Male Chorus of the church, The mas. ter of Ceremonies was Mr. G. H. Hairston. The soloists for these oc- casions were Messrs. Hall, Waters, Sprague, Chase, Roy, and Caldwell who showed marked talent and fami. liarity in the field of music. Reci- tations by Messrs, Collins and Beldon ‘were well received. the desert and nature brought to her the thought that another perfect day seemed to be ending. In her mind little verses of content- ment and rest took form. At inter- vals she stopped and scribbled the verses on the back of an envelope. That night the music came to her, and ever since then the song has been regarded as one of the immortals a- mong the popular songs of today. She best likes to compose songs of that sort. Jazz and ragtime offerings are not in her repertoire. She said she had rather touch the heartstrings than to put the feet of dancers in motion. “J played and sang this song (Per- fect Day) so often,” said Mrs. Bond, “that I rather grew tired of my own composition. I almost resolved not to sing it again. Then one day I met a soldier who had just returned from the World War. He told me of one afternoon when he walked along the trenches amid the dead bodies of many of his comrades. Although the ending of his day was anything but perfect, he told me that he found himself hum- ming my song just because there was something consoling in the music of it, It helped him to bear up under the strain. “That tribute alone was enough to repay me for having written the song. I am happy if I can compose songs that may prove of comfort to some- body and bring out the better side and the sweeter and deeper emotions of human nature. It is for that I strive.” Prom the'(“. weZS Notebook yf ar Eh a ae | &t WHE pernaps come as & SUIprise to many, and as a shock to a few, to learn that there is at least one full- fledged socialist government in A- merica. It is the government of the state of Yucatan in Mexico. ‘That it is unmitigatedly socialist— and not afraid to say so—is evidenced ‘by a recent official statement issued by the Attorney General on behalf of the Governor of the state. It seems that there has been lately considerable agitation in Mexico con- cerning birth control. Some reform- ers in Merida, Yucatan, secured a pamphlet written some years ago by Margaret Sanger, translated it into Spanish and had it published in the press. Some opponents petitioned the Governor to prosecute the persons re- sponsible. Under the Governor's in- structions to refuse the petition, the Attorney General issued a long state- ment, which not only brings out the fact that the government is officially socialist but which also lays bare the reasons why some “influential” people oppose birth control. ‘The New York “Nation” (May 3) reproduces the greater part of the statement. Some extracts follow: “The Attorney General's office can- not shape its manner of procedure to the narrow-minded and antiquated moral eriteria—the result of deep- rooted religious _prejudices—which ‘crop out in your petition. The Execu- tive of the state wishes to have it made clear that prosecutions arising solely from moral fanaticism such as filled with horror the vast period of clerical domination of the Middle Ages have gone foreyer. As long as the present Socialist Government directs public destiny the Attorney General’s office will not undertake any prosecu- tion for futile ideas of morality, sinee prosecutions in the name of morality have at all times been the most odious pretext used by religion to destroy its enemies... . “The problem of the birth-rate to which the pamphlet refers pertains most profoundly to the proletarian groups, and it is natural that the con- fervative and reactionary classes of society which have an advantage through the excessive birth-rate a- mong the working classes should set up a cry to heaven in defense of their selfish interests: It is natural that they should try to impede the move- ment of emancipation, denouncing it as an attempt against morality, in or- der that they may maintain their prerogatives; for as long as the phe- nomenon of excessive birth-rate re- mains, it permits them to keep the workman in slavery, paying a paltry price for the fruits of his hands, and just so long will the economic emanei- pation of the workingman be delayed. “Tt is a fact worthy of observation that the rich, the privileged, the capi- talists, those who live in comfortable circumstances, while they limit their ecutive of the state judges that your denunciation, issued with the purpose of securing, in the name of morality, the prosecution of a printed publica- tion for a supposed crime that has no legal basis, constitutes merely an epi- sode in that strife of the classes in which the blind forees of the past have united to engage in their last battle against the redeeming ideas of human- aty. 34" From the above it is clear that the Attorney General’s claim that the gov- ernment is socialist, seems fully jus- tified. | Those persons who think they are ‘opposed to birth control on moral or religious grounds (especially the ‘working class—the proletariat) should study the Attorney General's state- ment, above. ‘The Genoa Conference is about to adjourn to reassemble, maybe, at the Hague about a month hence, Those persons who have kept track of the proceedings—by reading such papers as the “Nation” or the “New Repub- lic,” weeklies, or the daily New York “Call,” will have observed that the conference was a long drawn out bat- tle of wit, wisdom and courage be- tween the Russian Soviet Government on the one side and all the rest of Europe (except Germay) and most of America on the other. After attempted bullying and threat- ening and bluffing and wheedling had failed to bring the Russian representa- tives to signing away their dearly bought economic and political emanei- pation, the “allies” finally tried an ‘old but frequently successful “jew- ‘shop” trick. ‘The Cynic hastens to state, that, by the words “jew-shop” he means no dis- paragement of Jews as such. These words are based on the fact that since “success” under capitalism is due more ‘to wit than work, these shrewd people ‘have not failed to make the most of ‘it wherever unhampered. "There used to be a play that exem- ‘plified the trick quite well. Jones ‘dorps into Abraham’s store in quest ‘of an overcoat—confident of his ability ‘not only to get what he wants but ‘convinced that he ean “beat the Jews.” ‘The coat which he selects is priced to ‘him at $40.00 While he has the coat on and is “jewing down” Abraham, Jacob from next door rushes in from the rear inquiring excitedly for “that overeoat you showed me yesterday. I have,” he says, “a customer in my store now who wants just such a coat. I can get eighty dollars for it, and I will split fifty, fifty with you on the profit.” “Sorry,” says Abraham, “but I just offered it to this gentleman for forty; but if he don’t take it, of course I'll let you have it. How about it?” he asks, turning to Jones. Of course Jones is willing to pay forty dollars for a coat thay someone else wants for eighty and-so, after a little pretended reluctance, he . . . . When the allies, through Lloyd George, presented the proposals to the Soviet representatives, it was ex- plained that while some of the govern- ments signed the proposals reluctant- ly, France and Belgium had refused ‘point blank to sign at all, on the ground that Russia was getting (or *would get if she accepted the terms) far too good a bargain. It was a great play; but it failed. The Russians did not buy the coat, notwithstanding the vehement French protests—to Lloyd George—that it was going too cheap. And so the “Conference” will ad- journ for a while to try to think up other schemes. In the meantime they are trying to get Uncle Sam to come into it, hoping perhaps that he can bring with him a “Yankee trick” that may “work.” Would that “our” race leaders had ‘some of the wisdom, the courage, and the self-sacrificing probity of the lead- ers of the Bolsheviki. THE CYNIC Reception to Rev. and Mrs. Tanner and Daughter On Wednesday evening, May 10, an informal reception was tendered Rev- erend Dr. C. M. Tanner and his wife, Mrs. F. S, Tanner and daughter, Miss Sarah Tanner, at the parsonage of Metropolitan A. M. E.

One of his ancestors, a full blooded Negro, was ennobled by Peter the Great. Alexander inherited this ancestor's dark skin and a mass of curly hair. During his early life he began writing. One of his poems, "Ode to Liberty" brought him the displeasure of the court and to escape being arrested and sent to the prison at Siberia he managed to be appointed to an official post at Kishineff, in Southern Russia. When Tzar Nicholas ascended the throne in 1825, Puskin was recalled to Moscow and appointed imperial historiographer. Puskin gained great reknown while he lived as being the greatest writer in Russia and among the greatest poets of the world at that time. As a poet, he still remains the greatest Russia has produced. His novels and other works of prose do not rise to the high standard of his poetry. His best works of prose are "The Pistol Shot," "The Queen of Spades," "The Undertaker," and "The Captain's Daughter." The last novel was written about 1831, and published under the pen name of Ivan Byelkin. WE OBSERVE— That "The News" a white daily paper of this city, prints the word Negro with a capital letter. That the darker races across the sea are discontented to the extent of resenting the white control of northern Africa and western Asia. Turkey, Arabia, India, and African tribes are becoming openly resentive to the whites. History is in the making and wherever a movement by the darker races is made, there should the American Negro center his attention. That the United States Government want men to enlist in the Marines, but the only men accepted are white men. That Emile T. Holly, the Negro appointed from New York to enter Annapolis Naval Academy failed in his examination. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: May I join your delightful Page? I have been reading it for a long time and so, now I have decided to ask you to let me join. I am sending you the answers to some of the puzzles. GURSTA BOYD (Age 13) (Hello, little new friend. You may join our ranks and welcome. Write often and often.—Ed.) Dear Mr. Frazier: You have not heard from me for two weeks because I have been busy with my lessons. This week I am sending in some puzzles and hereafter I will try to send something in every week. LAWRENCE TRIMMER (Age?) (I'm glad you are deeply interested in your studies. Continue to be so. Constant application is bound to bring favorable results.—Ed.) Dear Editor: Although I have not contributed to the "Children's Page" for sometime, I have been carefully reading its contents each week. Next week I will write a story to submit to you. I hope it will be good enough to be accepted by you. I am sending in some answers, hoping that they are correct. In the future I will try to reach a goal. That goal is "Honor Child" or at least a "Special." I'm a second year Dunbark student. CORNELIA JACKSON (Age 15) (We anxiously await your story. If you fail the first time, attempt again. Failure never defeats perseverance. —Ed.) Dear Mr. Frazier: I haven't been so faithful as I should have been so I have decided to be true blue hereafter. Enclosed find answers to puzzles and questions. ALEASE WOODS (Age 13) (Little friend, we're proud of your spirit of loyalty.—Ed.) Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" for a long while, but I have just decided to send in the answers to the puzzles and questions. EVELYN WATSON (Age 14) (Welcome. May your becoming a Tribunite bring as much joy to you as it does to us by considering you one of us.—Ed.) Dear Editor: Will you please let me join the "Children's Page"? I sent in the answers on Freemasonry, April 22 and I have not seen my letter published. I wish that you will please attend to that matter and I will thank you very much. MARION S. HARRIS (Age 14). (All right, little lady. You are bringing me to task because Granny Wastebasket gobbled up your other letter. I asked her about this matter and she says that it is true that your letter was received but she claimed it because—oh, well, never mind that, write again.—Ed.) Dear Editor: I was very glad to know that I was welcome to write again. I also had a very pleasant surprise when I read the Tribune for May 6 and found I had been fortunate enough to be a "Special." I am sending in again this week and I hope to become "Honor Child" soon. LUCILLE PAYNE (Age ?) (Reward ever comes to the industrious—Ed.) TWO NEGRO SENATORS The United States has seen two Negroes holding the honorable position as Senators. These two men were Hiram R. Revels and Blanche K. Bruce. Revels served from 1870 to 1871. Bruce served a longer period, he was Senator from 1785 to 1881. Both men were elected to Congress in the state of Mississippi. Revels was born in North Carolina in 1822. He was born free. His childhood was that of the Negro boy of his day, although he received training denied the average Negro boy. Later he attended and graduated from Knox College in Illinois. Bruce was born a slave in Virginia in 1841. He had the advantage of an early training because the man who owned him allowed him to study with his son. Later he became a student for a short while at Oberlin College, Ohio. It can not be truthfully said that these men were ignorant. To attain such prominence as they did in the days when the Negro was hated most, is proof positive that they were men of the finest quality as far as intellect is concerned. Negroes as Senators have been a real sure enough fact. Who will be the third Negro Senator? Perhaps some little boy who is reading this, and who struggles over the puzzles on this Page may be the third. It will happen within fifty years and fifty years isn't so long for a race to struggle through. Look at our record for the past fifty. When I draw your attention to the accomplishments of the past, I do not mean for you to sit idly by and dream on these things. A great past is only of value when it causes its young people to press forward and add greater glory to those accomplishments. NEGRO CITIES By J. A. G. LuValle Taft, Oklahoma Oklahoma has the largest number of independent colored towns of all the states in the union. There are about twenty strictly colored towns in this state. Last week we spoke of Boley, the largest of them. This week it is Taft, which was opened in 1906, during the time that Wm. H. H. Taft was secretary of war, and it was named in honor of him. It is on a rolling prairie, with a large hill for a picturesque background. Taft has a population of about 1,000 people, all colored. It is eleven miles west of Muskogee, on the Midland Valley railroad, running to Tulsa. There is a modern three-story brick public school building. The State Deaf, Dumb and Blind Industrial School is located there. There are only two state schools in Oklahoma for colored pupils, the other one is the State Normal, at Langston, also a colored town. Taft has a progressive set of people. They have their own town government, with the necessary officers. The stores are race institutions and they own a cotton gin. It is not so far from the oil fields and a number of its inhabitants are independent because of their oil holdings. While many colored people have oil land, very few colored people are employed in the oil fields. Taft's proximity to Muskogee makes it a desirable place in which to live. It is in the farming section, and cotton is the principal crop. A large number of automobiles are owned by the people of Taft. With good roads across the prairies the auto is a big factor in the life of the western people. MY FAVORITE PAPER My favorite paper is the Washington Tribune. It is my favorite paper because it is printed by men of my race with news concerning my race. LAWRENCE TRIMMER (Age ?) The Tribune is my favorite newspaper because (1) it has more news about Colored people than any other paper: (2) and I like the "Children's Page." OLEVIA MORRIS (Age 12) --- The Washington Tribune and the Washington Post rank equally, in my estimation. Both have an interesting Children's Page, and the facts of current events can be usually relied upon. VIOLET M. HARRIS (Age 15) DECORUM AND ETIQUETTE It is not given to every man to be a brilliant talker, or to express himself in writing with elegance or force. There is, however, no reason why any person should be ignorant of the rules of general conversation. The Laws of Etiquette—CONVERSATION 1. It is almost useless to say that your conversation should be adapted to your company; that is, nevertheless the golden rule on this subject. 2. Avoid all topics likely to excite argument, or to lead to warmth of feeling or expression. 3. Talk of yourself and your own affairs as little as possible. 4. Above all, never drag in the names of distinguished persons to whom you may be related or who may be numbered among your friends. 5. Be very careful not to interrupt a person while speaking, and should he hesitate for a word never supply it. A GRATEFUL DOG There was once a dog whose name was Rover. One day he was runnig along the road and an automobile that was running at full speed ran over Rover. The driver did not stop. Soon after the accident Mr. Brown, the smithy, came along and saw the wounded dog. Mr. Brown was a kind-hearted man so he took the dog home and attended to him until he was well. The dog learned to love the smithy and his little son Ned. Ned was only five years old. One day as Rover was out looking for some prey he spied Ned running from his big brother Jim. Ned was running near the bank of a deep river. Just as he turned to look to see if his brother was coming nearer to him a big wave came at that moment and took him off the shore. Rover saw this. He ran and jumped into the river and he was just in time to save Ned. You can imagine how proud Mr. Brown was when he heard of Rover's deed. He said, "I am glad I helped Rover when he had a broken leg." BOOK REVIEW Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture: This book is the work of Mr. Freeman H. M. Murray and is worthy of the consideration of young readers. Although this book is out of the general line of books written or compiled by Negroes, it has a valuable and direct appeal to those interested in Negro history. To gather the information contained in this volume entailed a long period of time; it called for an over-abundance of patience, and it required love of the author for his task. I have made previous mention of this work but never in the way of a review. I make this review for the benefit of the older readers of this page. The wording is too advanced for the very young, but scholars of the higher grades and of high schools should read it. This volume is profusely illustrated and each picture is very plain, showing in detail the exceptional qualities of the subjects under discussion. On the third page begins a monograph under the caption “‘FREEDOM’ ON THE NATIONAL CAPITOL” and it concludes with this bit of information: “Another interesting matter connected with the statue is that while it was being cast into bronze at Mill's foundry near Washington the Southern states began seeding; whereupon the white workmen, * * * *, 'turned rebel' and a Negro assistant completed it." It is full of valuable historical information. So it goes on through the book. Here we find a bit of criticism—at times bitter, at times sarcastic—and to the reader, the criticism seems ever to be just. One of the most thoughtful works of Meta aux Warrick Fuller, a sculptress of our race, is pictured and discussed at length. A unique feature of this book is that the author set the type of this work during his spare hours. This task was faithfully stuck to for over a year. The introduction was written by Mr. John W. Cromwell, author of "The Negro in American History." Mr. Cromwell's book was reviewed last week. Mr. Murray's book is cloth bound. 7 contains 179 pages of subject matter; and appendix of useful information (seven pages); and thirty-three pages of notes which makes a total of 228 pages of worthwhile reading matter and illustrations. Published by Press of Murray Bros., Inc., 920 You Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Price $1.75. CONTEST WINNERS The contest as put forth in the May 6th issue of this page brought forth many clever stories. Those winning the two prizes of five theater tickets each were as follows: Bro. Rabbit's Queer Little House won by Violet M. Harris, age 15. Tom and James' Queer Little House won by Courtland Lewis, age 14. One story appears in this issue. The other story will appear later. Better luck to the other contestants next time. Sixty stories came in which has made it advisable to give better inducements for our future contests. WHY BRO. RABBIT BUILT HIS QUEER HOUSE Violet M. Harris. Age 15 Bro. Fox met Bro. Rabbit coming home from work one evening. "Hello, Bro. Rabbit," said Bro. Fox. "I haven't been seeing you often for sometime but if all goes well, we'll see each other oftener from now on." "No," answered Bro. Rabbit, "we haven't seen seeing each other very often. But why do you expect to see me often?" "Oh, easily enough," laughed the other. "I'm going, to build a house right next to yours." "I see," replied Bro. Rabbit. "Well. The Queer Little House s'long. I've got to hurry." Here they parted That night Bro. Rabbit sat down to think. "I can't continue to live in this house if that Fox moves next door. He's just like his name, foxy. My house is old anyhow, so I might as well build a new one." This decided, he began to wonder what type of a house he should build. He thought a long time, when a good idea came to him. "I have it," he said, as he clapped his paws together. Then he turned over in bed and went sound asleep. The next morning Bro. Fox began working on his house and what was his surprise to see a number of men working at Bro. Rabbit's house. Some were tearing down the old one, others hauling bricks and mixing cement for the foundation of the new one. Bro. Fox stopped his own work and stared, but no one paid him any attention. They worked on steadily. In four days Bro. Rabbit's house was up. And it was the queerest looking house. It had a window between two doors. Then the inside of the house was completed. A bell attachment was fixed so that if anyone came up on either step, the bell rang violently on the inside but could not be heard outside. Then he had a button put on the inside of either door and if either button was touched both doors would fly open. With this the house was complete. Bro. Fox finished his house but he was jealous of his neighbor's new home. One day, about a month afterwards, Bro. Rabbit was sleeping, when he was awakened by the bell. He jumped up, ran to the window and peeped out. There stood Bro. Fox with a desperate look upon his face. And what astounded Bro. Rabbit was that Bro. Fox held a gun in his hand pointed straight at the door. Bro. Rabbit ran to the other door, and pushed the button. Both doors flew open. Bro. Rabbit ran out one door as the fox ran in the other. Bro. Rabbit called for help and several policemen answered. They and a great crowd went to the house and found Bro. Fox studying the wonderful mechanism of his neighbor's house and also calling himself a fool for not getting Bro. Rabbit. Bro. Fox had to stay in jail for six months. Wasn't Bro. Rabbit wise to build the queer house? New York Man Becomes Famous Inventor Published Weekly by the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO., Inc. 920 U Street, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C. Phone North 6554-W F.

Subscription Rates: One Year $2.50; Six Months $1.25 JIM CROW BATHING BEACH Two of the daily papers announced Sunday morning that Col. C. O. Sherrill, the North Carolina appointee of the present administration, would begin sounding out sentiment on the proposition of making a bathing beach on the South end of Columbia Island on the Virginia side of the channel in the Potomac River, above the Highway bridge, for Colored people. It was stated that it would possibly be ready for use this summer. A jim crow bathing beach is bad enough from any angle; but, to put it on the Columbia Island and compel the citizens of the District to go across the river and then ferry back to the Island is a deal of unnecessary trouble besides the fact that we do not want to contend with the double car fares and the Virginia jim crow cars. Col. Sherrill is so full of Southern customs that he cannot think straight where the colored citizens of the District are concerned. He is the author of the jim crow signs in Rock Creek Park Easter Sunday and Monday and he is maintaining segregation wherever he can install it and get away with it. U.

Out of obscurity has come an inventor whose names will go down into history with those of Edison, Bell, Morse, Lowe, Pintsch, Field, and other great inventors of the past. For Burhans Van Steenbergh, of Goshen, N. Y., has perfected a process for the manufacture of a pure, non-poisonous, brilliant heating and illuminating gas, and that will, according to scientific opinion, reduce the cost to gas consumer and manufacturers alike by at least twenty-five per cent. This process is fully protected by broad, basic United States Patents so that competition is impossible. And like those who invested their money in the Bell Telephone, the Morse Telegraph, the Lowe and Pintsch gas systems, or the Atlantic Cable in their early days, and made fortunes, the same opportunity is now offered to the people of Washington and vicinity.

Over 40 years ago Dr. T. S. C. Lowe invented a process for making gas that is used by the majority of the gas companies today. While this Process is costly and unsatisfactory in many ways, there has been an increase of over 78 per cent. in the Nation's gas plants in sixteen years, and of 63 per cent. in the quantity of gas produced in the past five years. In New York City alone, for example, about 80,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas is consumed yearly. The great magnitude of the gas industry is, therefore, apparent. For further information see J. A. G. LuValle, 920 U St., N.W. WASHINGTON, D. C. 8 Tau Delta Sigma ```markdown ``` Why compel the colored citizens of this city to pay two fares to go on Virginia interurban cars and then ferry back to the Columbia Island in order to enjoy a bathing beach? If the ferry is needed to get to the beach, then why not run it from this side of the river? Why not run it from the District end of the Highway bridge instead of compelling District citizens to subject themselves to the Virginia jim crow cars? We will not go around in that fashion to get to a bathing beach. A public utility of that nature should be placed where it can serve the largest possible number of citizens and when it is placed on the Columbia Island thus compelling patrons to go around to the Virginia side and ferry back to the island, it will serve a minimum number instead of the maximum number that it would be possible to serve by the approach from the District side of the river. What will the Colored citizens of the District do in regard to this matter? The Civic Association of Anacostia is taking steps to combat this method of approach. What will the Associated Civic Association do at their meeting next Friday night? The fraters were, for the first time, held to the rules of practice by one not connected with the Howard University Law School. Judge Hawkins remarked in the beginning that he would rule as though the case was in actual court. He sprang some surprises on the "cobryo lawyers," as he called them. At the close of the proceedings, however, he expressed himself to the effect that he was highly pleased with the case.

MAY 20. 1922 His Wonderful Process for Making Cheaper and Better Gas Will Revolutionize Industry, Scientists Say His Wonderful Process for Making Cheaper and Better Gas Will Revolutionize Industry, Scientists Say A Big Service Company Is To Acquire Gas Plants All Over the Country--New Process to be Installed on a Royalty Basis in Many Existing Plants. An Opportunity offered to Washington City People To Join This Gigantic Enterprise and Become Financially Independent. Dr. T. S. C. Lowe, the inventor of the gas-making process in general use today, made over $5,000,000, while those who invested in his original company made many more millions. The company first using his process—the United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia—has a chain of gas plants throughout the country, earned $7,128,723 last year, and paid $4,968,647 in dividends to its stockholders. Prominent Gas Engineers, and other recognized authorities in the Gas Industry say that the Van Steenbergh process, by cutting down the cost of gas both to consumer and manufacturer at least 25 per cent, and producing a better grade of illuminating and heating gas, will revolutionize the gas industry and prove to be "the greatest invention of the age." The American Gas Improvement Company (A. G. I.) controlling the Van Steenbergh process, is planning to establish a chain of gas plants throughout the country within the coming year, whose estimated profits will be $250,000 per annum based on a profit of $10,000 per plant—a very low estimate. 2 Rector Street, New York City Lucy Slowe, the first president of Alpha Kappa Alpha and now the principal of the Junior High School.

VAN STEENBERGH A GREAT INVENTOR Mr. Van Steenbergh, the inventor of the Van Steenbergh process, has been engaged in the Gas Industry for 40 years, and has constructed no less than 30 gas plants throughout the country, the majority of which have proven big money-makers for their stockholders. He knows the art of gas making, both practically and scientifically as few other men do. Here is what Dr. E. B. Clark, the prominent patent attorney of Washington, D. C., and an authority upon gas manufacture, says of Mr. Van Steenbergh: "You have achieved success. You have rubbed the wonderful Alladin lamp and wrought a miracle. Specifically you have obtained by your process economy in heat, economy in the use of oil, economy in time, economy in labor—produced a larger yield and better gas for less money. The public will now get the benefit of your genius and untiring energy." Hundreds of discriminating investors in all parts of the country are buying A. G. I. shares because they know the opportunity to make big money by being associated with Mr. Van Steenbergh and the A. G. I.
