The Washington Tribune ATTORNEYS MAKING DESPERATE FIGHT ON EXTRADITION OF RED JACKSON TO VIRGINIA All the News That's Fit to Print ATTORNEYS MAKING FIGHT ON EX RED JACK District Officials Pushing Case for the State of Virginia BITTER FIGHT SEEN Many Witnesses to be Called In Big Effort to Prove Jackson Innocent The hearing in the proceedings of Red Jackson who it is alleged by the Virginia authorities, assaulted a white woman by the name of Hawkins in Arlington County during the latter part of March, was resumed Monday morning, June 5th before Justice Hitz. Attorneys A. W. Scott and Royal Hughes appeared in behalf of Jackson while one of the assistant district attorneys of Wasington represented the state of Virginia. The case was continued from Monday noon to Tuesday morning in order to get witnesses desired by the defense. However, Tuesday morning the witnesses could not be had. The prosecution placed an old colored man of very little intelligence on the stand to testify that he had seen Jackson several times on the day of the alleged assault, but the testimony proved to be of little or no value, since it was so contradictory and shaky. Attorney Scott demanded that several witnesses be summoned, and after arguments by counsel on both sides, Justice Hitz decided that he would summon the witnesses and continued the case until Thursday, June 15th at 1:30 p. m. Attorneys Scott and Hughes will make a determined fight to retain Jackson in the District as it is almost sure death if he is turned over to the Virginia authorities. LARGE PROTEST PARADE TO BE HELD FLAG DAY What promises to be the greatest event of its kind in the history of colored Washington will come in the form of a monster protest parade which is being planned for June 14th, Flag Day, by a most representative committee of citizens, headed by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Mrs. Theresa L. Connelly and Shelby J. Davidson. The committee is composed of one hundred citizens from all walks of life, all the ministers of the city and heads of all organizations. Banners with appropriate slogans will be carried. The ladies of Washington are to be given credit for the idea. A group of them including Mrs. McAdoo, Mrs. Clifford, Mrs. Connelly and many other women of prominence met at the Y. W. C. A. a few weeks ago and laid plans for a monster protest against lynching and torturings that reached the high water mark during the month of May. The result of their plans was Major Sullivan's approval on Wednesday of the parade. Major Milton T. Dean has been appointed Marshal of the Parade by the Committee and has issued the following order for orgnization, mobilization and demobilization: 1. The Parade will be divided into eight Divisions of approximately 2,000 persons each. 2. Mobilization will take place at 2 p. m. sharp at points indicated below. 3. The assignment to Divisions is as follows. The Marshal and Staff The Committee of 100 The Ministers NG DESPERATE TRADITION OF SON TO VIRGINIA COMMENCEMENT WEEK ATTRACTS MANY TO HOWARD Pres. J.

TERRELL REPORTED VERY ILL Rumors are current that Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court has suffered a stroke and has lost the use of his right hand and right leg. However, these rumors were denied by Doctor E. D. Williston, the attending physician. A Tribune reporter went to the Terrell home on S St. and learned that the Judge has been at home recovering from bronchial asthma and that on last Friday night about twelve o'clock he went to his bath room to get some water and fell unconscious and remained on the floor for about an hour before his son-in-law found him and carried him to his room. His physician was summoned. On Thursday of this week, Dr. Williston stated to a Tribune reporter that the Judge had not suffered a stroke but had suffered an attack of auto-toxemia and was recovering fairly well.. Mrs. Terrell is visiting in Florida. STUDENTS FROM TEN COLLEGES PETITION PRESIDENT TO ASSIST IN PASSAGE OF THE DYER BILL STUDENT DELEGATION THAT CALLED ON THE PRESIDENT Friday morning, June 2, at 9:30 o'clock, a delegation from the National Student Anti-Lynching League conferred with President Warren G. Harding, in the interest of the Dyer Bill, which is now pending in the Senate judiciary committee. The delegation was presented to the Presi- STUDENT DELEGATION THAT C dent by the Assistant Attorney General Mr. Perry W. Howard, who introduced the spokesman of the delegation, Mr. A. D. Williams of Lincoln University. Mr. Williams spoke briefly on the shame and disgrace of lynching in America, and presented to Mr. Harding a fourteen page pamphlet, an essay of his which was awarded a prize by the N. A. A. C. P., entitled: "Lynching, Its Causes and Cures." The President in his reply stated that he had already expressed his attitude toward lynching before Congress. He said also that the bill was now being held in the Senate committee on judiciary in question as to its constitutionality, and as he was not a constitutional lawyer, he could not take up that part of it. He advised the delegation to get its organization together and have the bill amended in such a way that it will stand the test. In conclusion he stated that he felt that everything would come out all right, for TAFT DISCLAIMS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SEGREGATION Chief Justice Taft in a letter to Mr. George H. Murray disclaimed any knowledge of the flagrant discrimination given the race at the recent dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. The Chief Justice further stated that he had ordered Col. Sherrill not to segregate the races. Chief Justice Taft's letter follows: My dear Sir: I am surprised at your letter of June 1st. I directed Colonel Sherrill to see that no such segregation should be made as that to which you refer. If colored people did sit in a particular place, it must have been accidental for certainly nobody having authority connected with the dedication was authorized to bring it about. Sincerely yours, WM. H. TAFT. This letter would seem to indicate a breach between the Chief Justice who was also chairman of the Dedication Committee and Col. Sherrill who stated that he had charge of the seating and ordered colored people segregated. Whether any further action will be taken by those who suffered the humiliation is not known. --- the current is flowing in that direction. The delegation was composed of the following: Mr. E. A. Simmons, Executive secretary and one of the founders of the League, and Miss Lillie Martin, Howard; A. Leon Richardson, Howard, representing the CALLED ON THE PRESIDENT Washington Tribune; Messrs. A. D. Williams and I. J. K. Wells, Lincoln; Mr. Milo C. Murray, Fisk; Mr. C. A. Jackson, Cheyney School; Mr. A. C. Terrance, (proxy) New Orleans College; Mr. L. S. Hughes, West, Va. Collegiate; Mr. W. W. Goens Storer; Mr. J. J. Hopkins, Ga. State College; Mr. W. L. Green, St. Paul, N. I.; Mr. Geo. D. Williams, Hampton. The League was organized on March 29th, 1922 at Lincoln University. Since that time it has won the sanction and support of churches, fraternal orders and the race. Messrs. Williams and Wells have toured the Atlantic Coast in its interest. After leaving the White House Offices, a representative from Scurlock's Studio made pictures of the group. The delegation then by special permit pilgrimed through the gold blue, red and state dining rooms of the White House. The delegation then held a conference in the East Room, and discussed some future plans of the organization. WALKER AGENTS TO MEET IN RICHMOND A call has been issued by the Madam C. J.

DESPONDENT OVER MARKS MISS GRAHAM, STUDENT AT HOWARD, ATTEMPTS SUICIDE DESPONDENT O MISS GRAHAM HOWARD, ATT THE CLEVELAND SCHOOL GIVEN TO COLORED The School Board Formally Transferred Building This Week RELIEVE GARRISON Board Decides to Charge Tuition for Out-of-Town Students Dr. Ballou took the position that it was narrow and unfair to the children to be deprived of attending the District schools without extra pay. At the meeting of the Board of Education on Wednesday of this week, the Cleveland school building at the corner of 8th and T Streets Northwest was transferred from the fifth division for white children, to the eleventh division to be used for colored children, in order to relieve the crowded conditions that exist at the Garrison School on 12th Street, between R and S Streets Northwest. The Cleveland school building was desired by some for the Business High for colored students to relieve the crowded conditions at Dunbar High. The Cleveland school building is of modern construction and is conveniently located. The decision of the Corporation Attorney stating that only the children of parents actually living in the District should be admitted to the District schools without tuition, was discussed. Muzzey's American History came up for discussion, and Superintendent Ballou told the board that he would like for that body to take some action on the matter before the end of the fiscal year. He suggested that the board members read the book. The following changes in employees were approved: Changes in Employees Resignations— Laura Weaver, caretaker, Shaw Junior High School; D. M. Bennett, teacher, class 3, Syphax School. Promotions—L. S. Pyles, teacher, from grade 2, Birney School to grade 3, Syphax School. Appointments—Albert Shorter, laborer, Congress Heights School; W. F. Nickens, caretaker, Military Road School; C. W. Quantrille, janitor, Blow School; C. A. Barnett, probationary teacher, class 2, Birney School; D. A. Lanause, permanent teacher, class 6A, Dunbart High School; R. W. Clifford, permanent teacher, Domestic Science Dent. A PROMINENT MINISTER HONORED The Reverend F. R. Killingsworth, A.B., of 1509 S Street, N.W., this city, who for a number of years held very creditably the positions of vicepresident and Director of the Academic Department of the Industrial Institute, Manassas, Va., has recently been honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Livingston College, the leading institution of learning of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. Killingsworth is now serving his fourth year as Pastor of Arlington Station, where plans are under way for the erection of a new brick church. He is the husband of Dr. Laura A. Killingsworth, who is a practicing physician of this city, and a member of the medical staff of the Freedmen's Hospital. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS Failed to Get Satisfaction from Registrar and Dean About Marks CONSIDERED BRIGHT STUDENT Is Daughter of Prominent Baptist Minister of Philadelphia Failure to pass the rigid test of some of her instructors at Howard University, in her final examinations, Miss Ottie Beatrice Graham, of Philadelphia, fired a shot from a 38 caliber pistol into her right breast in her room at Miner Hall about 10 o'clock Friday morning, June 2. She is now improving and is out of danger. Miss Graham is of a highly nervous temperament and had inquired of the Dean as to whether she would graduate or not. He did not give her any satisfaction and she vent to the Registrar, who gave her some documents and told her to bring up certain work before he Dean as to whether she would graduate or not. He did not give her any satisfaction and she vent to the Registrar, who gave her some documents and told her to bring up certain work before he could inform her as to her graduation. She might expect an answer possibly, about Tuesday, afternoon, the 6th with graduation set for Friday, the 9th. Upon examination of the pistol which Miss Graham used, it was found that all of the cartridges had been snapped, so the theory is advanced that she must have snapped them all, the last one exploding, which accounts for the shot in the right instead of in the left breast. Dr. A. M. Curtis, the attending physician, said the ball had been extracted, and that it did not enter her lung. He excused her from confinement to the bed Wednesday and he thought she would fully recover in a short time. It is said at the University that Miss Graham was a very brilliant young woman. She was specializing in Dramatic Art and was an outstanding pupil in this department; in fact she was the leading factor in the development of the entertainment that was scheduled for Thursday night. The first half of the play was Miss Graham's own creation and she was to have been the leading character in it. It is said that she worked hard from 8 to 11 and 12 o'clock at night in rehearsing and directing the others in the rehearsals for Thursday night's entertainment by the Howard Players. In addition to dramatic work, Miss Graham did literary work for the various University publications, including The Journal, The Record, The Stylus and the Minerva, the latter being the year book for 1922. Miss Graham was popular with student organizations. She was vice-president of the French Club in 1921 and vice-president of the Students' Council in 1921. With her regular studies, her literary work and her dramatic work, by which the University benefited, Miss Graham was kept very busy. She was such an outstanding character in her dramatic work that it had already been decided that she would go-to Paris, France to finish her course in this art. With the anticipated trip to Europe depending on her graduation here this year, she was anxious to know if she was to finish; therefore, the interview with the Dean and Registrar. Obtaining little satisfaction, she returned to her room from the Registrar's office. There the intended fatal shot was fired. However, Miss Graham is not a suicide. It is said that this is the first suicide attempt by a student of Howard University. Her deficiency, it is learned from authoritative sources, was one-tenth of (Continued on page 8) National Baptist Sunday School convention, Nashville, Tenn., June 7-12.

When two years ago, in altruistic gratitude for the attitude of the colored people toward Germany, I set out to teach artistic musical interpretation as taught in Berlin and further elaborated on by myself, intending my negro pupils to teach my secrets to other negroes in turn and these to still others for the permanent benefit of your race, the class of people I had intended to reach held back due to the recent unfortunate activities of a certain Hollandish adventurer. Now, through such holding back, through irony of fate concurring with present intensified negro uplift movement, your race was practically the sole loser, the more so, as it is as good as certain that imminent manufacture of my patents and publication of my compositions etc. will compel me to discontinue teaching all together before end of year. Therefore persons, especially music teachers and prospective artistic performers, desiring to study with me so as to obtain, before too late, for their splendid race the information originated by me as author and taught exclusively by me and no one else, will do well to apply to my studio, Twelfth Street entrance, Pythian Temple, Twelfth and U, without delay, Fridays and saturdays, three to ten, Phone, North 7171 and 4961. I do not, except incidentally, teach Technique; anyone can do that. But I do teach the following subjects, which no one else here does teach, can teach, and which you will do well to know because without them you can never hope to become a real, truly great artist: 1) Proper Formation Of Each Single Tone, Intonation, Tone Coloring, Singing Touch, Melody Treatment; 2) Rhythm; 3) The Accent And Its Ramifications, Shading, Phrasing; 4) Blending, Pianistic Orchestra Effect, Musical Elocution; 5) My Original Practical Keyboard Harmony. To sum up, I do not teach mere piano, but Musicianship, not mere dull, mechanical skill of belaboring the greatest possible number of keys no matter how the individual note sounds, but intelligent interpretation similar to that of orchestra works at the hands of a conductor. If your playing is crude and mechanical, if it is void of expression, rhythmic and structural beauty, tone quality, -color and -shading and intellectual interpretation all around, I will be pleased to have you arrange for interview.

Kerlin expresses his views’ on the recent lynchings in Texas, Arkansas and Georgia. All of the Southern people are not mob erazy, nor do all of them think mob rule is the right thing; but so few will expres$ them- selves. Editor of The Tribune: You know not what you ask when you request me to say a word in The ‘Tribune on the recent lynchings and burnings in Texas. I am horrified beyond expressian at these unspeak- able atrocities—yet the sin of silence, and of inaction, is the unpardonable sin of too many “good” people. I shall not be among them and of them. The baldest statement of the facts of these seven May lynchings (add to the six in “Texas one in Georgia) makes my blogd run cold—and boil. Whiat sort of civilization does a State, or a Nation, have that is guilty of such hellish outbursts.of murder-lust one after another? Do these lynch- ers not know. that they are inviting destruction—red ruin, fire and slaugh- ter—upon themselves and their child- ren? They are brutalizing both races —they are sowing the whirlwind of furious death. Our infamy is published in all lands. The disgrace is upon us all, Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, are States of the Union, parts qf America. They must be taught to know this. The remedy for this shame is at hand. It will be applied, and that speedily, if we have a national con- science. The Federal Government must assert its authority. ‘Texas has proved, as often before, and as other Southern States have done time and again, the necessity of the Dyer Anti- Lynching Bill. It behooves every man and woman of us to work with re- newed energy for the immediate pass- age of that bill. This is my feeble word. Yours respectfully, ROBERT T. KERLIN To the Editor of The Tribune: Some day, when this country’s eyes experience an opening to the horrible crimes she must answer at the bar of God, the little Americans yet unborn THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1922 will shudder and ask the question, Did my father and mother live in such ¢ cruel and fiendish age? The superior white race is making very bad history for their future sons and daughters to study. We seem to be stepping off the rock of safety into the quicksands of destruction, for, disregarding the laws of the land, and trampling the laws of God under foot with impunity, it seems only a question of time whén the Great Jehovah will call. the hand of the “Bully” of the world—the United States of America. It is not the purpose of the writer to utter one word in behalf of any man—be he black or white who violatés the law; but when the law is violated the ac- cused person or persons should be tried in the courts and punished by just men who may be properly chosen for that duty. he law, but not the lawless mobs, should be respected. Now, in so far as the colored race is concerned, who know the difference between this present Republican ad- ministration and ‘the former Demo- cratic administration? Considering the fact that lynching and burning of human souls at the stake is picking up, at an alarming extent, in the past few days, it seems that the Harding administration is bidding fair to out- do the Wilson administration along these shameful lines. And this; too, in the face of the fact that our hon- ored President promised that, if he should be elected, he would be a “Con- stitutional” President. Maybe he meant “unconstitutional? for such is far more in keeping with the facts and acts as we've been able to observe them thus far. Our earnest wish and prayer to God is, that He may look in ‘a merciful way upon wicked America a‘ while longer; because as powerful as she thinks she is, she is too weak to withstand the punishment she has so faithfully worked for and deserves. I’m informed that the much abused colored people are planning to have ‘a great march here in protest against lynching on or about the 17th of June. Good! This should have been done long, long, ago. But there should be no silent marching. We should sing songs—such soul-stirring songs as, no other race of peoples can sing, in order to reach the hearts of the white people who are in a position to help us. Sing such songs that were left us as a her- itage by our sainted forefathers and mothers—such as “Swing Low Swee' Chariot,” “Nobody Knows the Troubl: ‘I’ve Seen,” “Almost persuaded,” ete: ete. r We are passing through a crucial period; we are meeting with troubles all along the way. But, cast all your cares on Jesus—my people—and don’t forget to pray! Keep on troubling God on His throne and He will answer bye and bye. : J. C, CUNNINGHAM MRS, SMITH BUYS VALU: That there is money to be made in the barber business and especially for women, is demonstrated by the an- nouncement this week, of the purchase of tHe building at the south east cor- ner of 7th Stret and Florida Avenue for $35,000 by Mrs. M. F .Smith, the proprietres sof the barber shop-in the basement of the Southern Aid Build- ing, at 7th and T Streets. This is the largest real estate trans- action that has been consumated for several-months, in this section of the city. The store is now occupied by @ chain grocery company. \Mrs. Smith said to a Tribune repre- sentative, “We expect to open an eight or nine chair shop on the first floor of the building as soon as we can secure possession, which we hope will be about the middle of July. Mr. Smith will continue the operation of his shop on F Street, near the Union Station and I will operate the new shop, as I have been doing here.” Competition has ben pretty lively among the tonsorial artists on Seventh Street and the recent opening of the shop in the 1800 block increased the sompetition. Mrs. Smith decided that she would get out on the street and meke it at least an even break with the men who are operatin gthe other shops. Her efforts will be watched with interest. LIGHTNING SETS FIRE 10 HOUSE AT LINCOLN, MD. During a severe electrical storm on last Saturday, 5 p. m. the home of Rev. and Mrs. P. A. Seott at Lincoln Park, Md, was struck by lightning and completely destroyed. Mrs. Scott, her daughter, Mrs. Herman P. Socks, ‘a grandsdn Scottie Socks and Miss Charity Riddick of Norfolk, Va., were at home when the lightning struck. - Mrs, Scott was doing some work in the cellar when she heard the crash which on investigation showed that the attic window had been knocked out. The explosion or flash from the shock was seen in the cellar. It burned the eyebrows on Mrs, Scott; who was otherwise unhurt. Most of the furniture was taken out of the burning house before the flames consumed it, thuogh a great deal was badly damaged. ‘The trunks of clothes were on the third floor and all goods of whatever kind on that fioor were destroyed. . ‘The house and furniture were in- sured but the amount will by no means cover the loss. Too much cannot be said in thanks about the faithful friends who came to the assistance of the family both during the fire and in caring for them after. Mr. Herman Socks who is employed at Murray Bros. Printing Go. had not returned from the city until the fire was about over. Rev. Scott who is pastor of St. James A. M. E. Chudeh, at Norfolk, Va., arrived home on Monday morn- ing. RETURNS WALLET WORTH $4000 GETS $200 REWARD Samuel Cunningham, /a runner for the American National Bank, lost 2 wallet Tuesday afternoon, while run- ning for a car at the corner of 7th and N Streets, Northwest. The Wallet contained about $4,000 with more than $2,000 in bills and $1,900 in checks. Mack Cowell, 21, (colored) found the wallet and on opening it found it con- tained money and checks, hurried on to his employer at the OsStreet Mar- ket, asking his employer to notify the police department. He was advised to take the money to the bank, which had offered a reward of $200. Howell took the money to the bank Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning re- turned for his reward, which was given him. He forthwith opened an account with the bank for the amount of the reward. Young Cowell was highly complimented by the bank of- ficials and was told that at any time he was out 6f a position to call on them and if they had nothing for him they would assist him in securing 2 position.

THEATRES AMUSEMENTS SPORTS Howard Defeats Baltimore at Tennis On Decoration Day, the Howard varsity tennis team entertained the Monumental Tennis team of Baltimore in a tournament on the James E. Walker tennis courts. There were quite a number of people present including a large delegation from Baltimore. The Monumental club presented the best players in Baltimore, Dr. Rhetta, Rev. Walker and Dr. McRae. Howard presented the best in Washington in the person of Tally Holmes national champion in singles and doubles, Sylvester Smith, state champion of Pennsylvania, of Maryland, and of New York, also national doubles champion in partnership with Mr. Holmes, Harold Freeman, national mixed double champion. Howard's line up was as follows: in singles 1. Tally Holmes; 2. Sylvester Smith, Capt.; 3. Harold Freeman; 4. Percy Richardson; 5. Maceo Wiseman; 6. A. Panama Johnson, mgr.; 7. Freeman Jones; 8.

The hardest match of the day was that of Harold Freeman and Dr. Rhetta in which the latter came near to winning several times. The second annual tournament opened this week, at Howard. Independents Showing Class Fans Urged to Support After having seen the strongest of local independents in action, this writer concludes that some high class baseball will be displayed at Union League Park this season. Six or more teams, particularly, the St. Cyprians, Washington Athletics, LeDroit Tigers Deanwoods, Piedmonts and Oriental Tigers have shown that they can play baseball. There are other teams in and around the District that closely push the above group. With the assurance that real baseball will be given them, it is hoped that local fans will support these teams. All of us are quite interested in major league baseball, and rightly so, but why not develop an interest in the semi-pros and sand-lotters? Journey to 15th and H Sts., N. E., the site of Union League Park and see our stars perform. The bulk of the attendance at these games is from sections of the city other than northwest TRIBUNE'S BASE BALL DIRECTORY and yet the latter section produces and has as many representatives among the independents as any. While we have no personal interest in any of the above teams it is our hope to have Washington the Colored baseball center of the East and it is from sand-lotters ad semi-pros that the players must be picked. BUFFALOES DEFEAT HALLS HILL On Tuesday May 30th—the Buffalooes journeyed to Hall's Hill, Va. and downed the fast Virginia White Sox of that place. The game was a slugfest, the final score being 15-11. Williams of the Buffaloes struck out 10 men, while "Turk Furbey" played a star game at first base. BRIGHTWOOD LOSES TO WHITE SOX The Brightwood A. C. was defeated by a picked team under the name of the Maryland White Sox at Lakeland on June 4th in a 12-inning contest by the score of 11 to 10. The Brightwood A. C. disliked the methods used by the White Sox in picking from other teams. They had players from Bladensburg and Brentwood. BUFFALOES ASKING FOR GAMES The Buffalo A. C. with its one defeat this year wants to books games with the following teams or more: Lafayette, Washington Athletics, Teddy Bears, Bellmont A. C., Piedmont A. C., Ledroit Tigers, Washington Giants, St. Cyprians, Deanwood A. C. and all the Departmental teams. For games write Earl R. Williams 250 Warren St., N. E., call L. 6156. UNION UNIVERSITY CLAIMS Richmond, Va., June—Everybody—let's go with the Old Reliable! Ready! Hip! Hip—Rah! Union! Union What's it all about? Under the leadership of Coach H. D. Martin and Captain A. A. Branch, Virginia Union University's baseball team has this season unquestionably won the championship in the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association of the Middle Atlantic States. The complete schedule shows that the team won a majority of the games played with the followin gecolleges: Howard, Lincoln, Hampton, Lynchburg Sem. and College, and Petersburg Normal.

The Tigers so far lead all local teams in the number of games won with 9 victories and no defeats. Duke Slater Champion Wrestler Duke Slater, star tackle on Iowa's champion eleven and point-winner on the track team recently added to his athletic achievements by winning the heavy-weight wrestling championship of the University. Anderson vs. Tate Another match causing almost as THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. JUNE 10. 1922 much talk is scheduled for the Fourth at Juarez, Mexico between Leo Anderson and Bill Tate. Bill Tate holds a decision on foul over Harry Wills and is well known in the East, but Anderson has done most of his fighting in Mexico where he has defeated some good boxers including Kid Norfolk. In his match with Norfolk, however it is reported that he butted the Kid in the early rounds opened a gap over his eye and the blood flowed so freely it blinded Norfolk and forced him to quit. A monstrous crowd will see Anderson the champion and "idol of Mexico" battle Bill Tate. Langford by Knock-out Sam Langford celebrated his return to good standing with the Louisiana boxing commission which had previously suspended him for failing to meet Battling Owens by knocking out Kid Flowers in the second round at New Orleans Monday night. Notes on the St. Cyprian Athletic Game The Saints looked upon as weak hitters and airtight fielders reversed the order Sunday and fielded poorly but batted heavily. Wilson started out in rare form but in the fourth showed signs of weakening and was kept on the mound too long. Barnes was clubbed hard but when it looked as though he was due for the showers he took a decided brace. Fells pulled the prize bone when he touched third with a man on second the only one on the bases thinking it was a force play. Barner got Parker's single in the 9th and held it so long that Dean had to go out and take it from him. The winning run could easily have been cut off by Barner,. Punch the A's mainstay recently injured his arm which forced him to the bench. Both teams are capable of playing much better baseball that that displayed Sunday. The Athletics appeared over-confident while the younger Catholics showed signs of nervousness. Danny Desport handled the game in the same grand style that characterizes his umpiring. Some day we will tell you more of "Danny." DEMPSY-WILLS MATCH UNI- LKELY THIS SUMMER The white heavyweight champion and his manager have successfully dodged the proposed fight with Wills in Canada on July 1st. The trip to Europe was a sad disappointment to the Dempsey contingent financially but it served to quiet the aggregating demand for a chance for Wills. Immediately upon his return to this country the champion beat it west for home, where he will not be continuously confronted with talk of the prowess of Wills. A fight for July 1st is out of the question and only a little maneuvering is necessary to kill any offer of a Labor Day match. It is amusing how sport writers have heralded every white heavyweight able to raise his arm, as an opponent for Dempsey and all the time the public clamors for Wills. Many of these newspaper matches have been so ridiculous that boxing commissions have openly stated they would not be allowed. However, it is gratifying to see that a few of these writers are learning what we have known for many months—that Dempsey is afraid of Wills. The boxing world is sadly in need of a national organisation to control and supervise all fights and fighters with laws compelling a champion to defend his title a number of times each year against his chief rivals, regardless of color or the amount of the purse. Were this the case such fighters as Dempsey and Kilbane would not be champions. COLORED HEAVIES BATTLE FOURTH Final arrangements have been completed for the Jack Johnson-Tutt Jackson heavyweight bout at Washington Court House, Ohio, on July 4th. Carpenters have already started building an arena suitable to hold 25,000 spectators. No opposition to the fight is expected.

W. 5 From the CYNIC'S Notebook The Crisis for June has the follow- "In Topeka, Kansas, there has just been held the first music memory contest. The schools of the city for a period of eight weeks learned forty phonograph records. A preliminary contest was held in each building to select a team of five pupils who would contend in a final contest for prizes of $100, the first prize being $50, the second $25, etc. The music club of the city gave additional prizes of $10 to each building in the preliminary contest. The representatives of the colored Monroe school, Elizabeth Wilson, Minnie Martin, Altha Hickman, and Anita Williams won the first prize in the contest with 21 schools. All of them made 100 per cent. They received both the $50 and in addition a gold medal. Both the second and third prizes went to colored schools." The above is in certain respects rather vague—it is not clear what was memorized, words or music or both—but in any case it was a "memory" contest. And inasmuch as all the prizes went to colored schools, one wonders whether the white children—and teachers—made any serious effort to contest. Is it not possible that they were able to realize, or were made to realize, that a victory in such a contest—assuming it was as stated, merely a memory test—was not worth an effort to achieve? Suppose that instead of memorizing forty "records," these prize winners had memorized four hundred or a thousand; in what way or to what degree would that have contributed to their education—assuming that education is preparation for life?

SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1922 practice on Shakespeare, or Caesar, or the Bible or authentic history; or why not attempt to really advance in music—in its technique and theory and history? Eight weeks—of school time—devoted to memorizing phonographic records! Maybe next year we shall hear of ten weeks devoted to dancing—jazz of course. Very likely in that contest also the colored will win ALL the prizes—and some more. Even the K. K. K. could afford to foster such contests as these and rejoice when "we" win. Now let no one jump to the conclusion that The Cynic is indifferent to the charm and beauty and power of music, or that he opposes dancing. He has and does indulge in both to the best of his ability—but not under the delusion that mere indulgence in either is education or in any way contributory thereto. And furthermore, music—music mind you, not song-singing—is no more a matter of memory than is mathematics. It may be doubted whether there is among the many distinguished musicians of our race a single one who knows by heart, or could be induced to memorize, forty phonographic records—words or music. Why, asks The Cynic, should so many of our people permit themselves to be fooled and fuddled by one futility after another—during the very hours we should be, and often (there's the pity) think we are, acquiring education? What do our leaders in education get the long titles and big salaries for, if not to tell us better? Well; the great occasion and the great opportunity—the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial—has come and gone and, pitiful to say, has yielded nothing to the Negro people but humiliation and disappointment—humiliation through the shameless jim crowing of those of our race who accepted in good faith the invitation to be present and occupy seats "on the platform," and disappointment in the choice of the person to represent us on this occasion. The speech of Mr. Moton on this occasion was what was to be expected from him—notable for what he did not mention. It would be a waste of words to wade through the welter of platitudes and "pleas in avoidance" winding up, of course, with a panegyric on our boys who fought in the late war "for democracy." None of the disabilities, denials and crimes from which we suffer—from the humiliation of his own people under his very nose, through the deprivation of the ballot, to the Ku Klux Klan and lynching under torture—none of these things were even mentioned much less protested; and there before him sat the representatives of the nations of the earth witnessing his giving this nation a clean bill of health as to the present situation. One interesting thing in connection with the speech should be recorded. Some of the newspapers report him as saying that, of the 12,000 persons convicted under the espionage act not one was a Negro. Not only are his figures, 12,000, a gross exaggeration (one gentleman who heard the speech says he gave the number as 30,000) but it is not true that none of the two or three hundred, perhaps, who were charged with violating the so-called war acts—espionage, obstructing the draft, etc.—was colored. The Cynic personally knows one black man, Ben. Fletcher, an I. W. W. organizer of Philadelphia, who was sentenced to ten years in prison along with the 100 and more I. W. W.'s, socialists, etc., tried under Judge Landis in Chicago. And Ben and many more are in Ft. Leavenworth prison yet. The interesting thing is not that Mr. Moton should have made such errors—for his lack of information would easily account for the errors—but the matter of real interest is the fact that in the copy of the speech sent out from Tuskegee, there is no statement in reference to the matter whatever. When then, and by whom, and for what reason, was he induced to thus attempt to falsify history? It might be a pleasing unction to a certain class to believe what there was no Negro in our twelve million who had sufficient understanding or conscience or courage to protest the iniquities of our war time hysteria, and the poorly disguised attempt, under cover of this hysteria, to put the worth while leaders of the workers, white and black, out of the way; but it is not true. And the man or party or class that banks on such a delusion; Doctor Moton to the contrary not-withstanding; has coming—or his or their not distant posterity have coming—a rude awakening. THE CYNIC Rev. J. L. Pinn Given Degree of D. D. by Howard University Rev. J. L. Pinn Given Degree of D. D. by Howard University Rev. James L. Pinn, pastor of the First Baptist Church, West Washington, wa shonored by Howard University on Friday, June 9th, at its Commencement with the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Rev. Pinn graduated from the Washington High School in 1894; continued studies there to 1895, and in the Washington Normal School until 1896. He graduated from the School of Religion of Howard University with honors in 1902, and subsequently completed courses in Central University and lectures in Syracuse University. During the school year of 1896-97 he was the assistant principal of the Manassas Industrial School. For fourteen years he was pastor of the Bethany Baptist Church of Syracuse, N. Y. For eight successive years he was the executive secretary of the Onondaga Baptist Association of Onondaga County, N. Y., an organization composed of 21 white churches and one colored church. Upon his-leaving Syracuse the Onondaga Baptist Association unanimously adopted the following resolution. "The Onondaga Baptist Association in annual session hereby records its appreciation of the character, worth and work of our beloved brother and fellow-workers, the Reverent James L. Pinn, who for eight successive years has served us with marked efficiency and courtesy. In the fourteen years of his fruitiful pastorate of the Bethany Baptist Church, Mr. Pinn has commended himself to all who have known him in both church and city as a Christian man of high ideals, fine spirit, and of untiring devotion, not only to the welfare of the Bethany Baptist Church and this Association, but also the promotion of every cause which makes for the uplift of society and the increase of righteousness in our city and the world." For three years prior to his leaving Syracuse Rev. Pinn served as Probation Officer in the courts of that city. Rev. Pinn has been pastor of the First Baptist Church of West Washington for nearly six years and is held in the highest esteem by a very large majority of the members of that church. As an evidence of the flourishing condition of the First Baptist Church, $1,000 was raised and given to mission work alone during the past year. For three years Rev. Pinn has been teaching Bible History and Exegesis in the School of Religion of Howard University. "MOONSHINE" A Riot of Fun "MOONSHINE" A Riot of Fun BILLY KING PRESENTS GREATEST COLLECTION OF STARS EVER SEEN HERE The inimitable and versatile "Billy King," veteran of many show seasons, bumped into town this week with one of the laughingest, moonshinest musical comedies seen in these parts for many moonshines. Yes sir, the "Moonshine" Billy brings us this time really has a kick in it. The aggregation is really an all-star one in fact, and Billy King's BILLY KING "Moonshine!" is greatly brightened by this array of brilliant stars in its cast. To head the list, of course, we have "Billy King," and then follows, Silas Jenkins, the bootlegger who is a riot; BabyCox, Wm. Gunn, Marie Lucas, Bessie Brown, Anne Belle Cooke, Ed Woods, and Geraldine Bustell all vie with each other in providing the high lights of the show. These stars display a bigger variety of talent than any collection of artists ever before seen in one aggregation. This group in itself would be worth the price of admission. Assisting this group is another group of stars who act more collectively, but nevertheless are a big factor in putting the show over with a bang. A girl chorus and a male quartet furnish plenty of dancing and singing. Miss Marie Lucas, who was formerly leader of the orchestra at Howard, featured with her playing both at the piano and trombone. The "Bow Wow Blues" by Miss Bessie Brown was a big hit; the violin solo by Miss Geraldine Bustell showed both rare skill and great musical ability; Miss Anna Belle Cooke, the lady with a double voice went over big. Her rendition of "Rose in the Bud" proved beyond a doubt that her voice is a wonder. However, with all of these musical numbers on ahead of him, Ed Woods, with a sweet melodious tenor voice Music Forum Wellington A. Adams Director Columbia Conservatory of Music Colored Bandmaster of a United Marine and Sousa's Bands respectively States Naval Band Visits with great success; and his latest the Capital March entitled, "The Governor's Last week Washington was honored with a most distinguished visitor in the person of Alton Adams, Bandmaster of the United States Naval Band at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. He helped to organize and was assistant director of the Municipal Band of St. Thomas, and later organized and taught a large band of young men. This latter organization was developed to such an excelent state of proficiency that its work was instrumental in inspiring the officials to get permission to enlist it in the service of the Government. This band was to have been stationed in the islands, nevertheless it volunteered for active duty in the war zone. The Government afterwards detailed Mr. Adams to organize two more such bands in the neighboring islands, a task which was brought to a successful issue within six months. He is now supervisor of Public School Music, Virgin Islands; Naval Bandmaster; directs the Governor's Band; music writer to Jacob's Monthly magazine; composer of the "Virgin Islands March," played by the proved that there is plenty of room at the top. His two numbers, "Suwanee River Moon" and "Lonesome for You, that's all," were exceptionally well rendered. Wm. Gunn as Tommie Tattle, a simp, had the whole house crying with joy over his anties. For juvenile dancing, Baby Cox is a wonder; she is supple, graceful and clever. The work of Margaret Scott, as Mrs. Sallie Booker, the wife of Billy Booker, (Billy King); Genevieve Stearn, as Miss Luella Lee, the vamp; Doc Straine as Prof. Buggs, a nut, and Maybell Brown deserves much commendation and praise. The whole show is a riot of fun and mirth and to miss it is to miss the best offering of the season. Next week Billy King will offer an entirely new show, with entirely new songs, music and dances, entitled "A Whirl of Joy." Actors of the Past This article deals with old favorites. Many remember the clever singer and dancer, Belle Davis, who graduated from a chorus girl to a vaudeville star of great magnitude. Perhaps some recall her and her "Picks" travelling with burlesque shows as an added attraction also on big time vaudeville. Miss Davis was the first of our actresses to use "Picks" on the stage although there were a number of white actresses using them. In 1902 Belle was engaged to play a part in a white show called "Browns in town." Though the part given was small her singing and comedy made such a hit that it was rumored at the time that the other actors became jealous. I don't know for sure whether that was true or not but I do know that after playing an engagement here at the Columbia Theatre, apparently to good business the company was called back to New York. Miss Davis after leaving this company returned to vaudeville with her "Picks" finally went abroad where she had great success and is now married making her home in London. Y. W. C. A. Notes Y. W. C. A. Notes The Aesthetic Dancing Class gave their initial Soiree on Wednesday night May 31st in the gymnasium which was beautifully decorated with the class colors. It was a formal affair and the young ladies and their escorts in evening attire presented a lovely scene. Dainty refreshments were served and pretty favors were distributed and about 60 persons enjoyed a most delightful evening. Miss Lucille Moore is the popular teacher of this class. The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A camp at Arundel-on-the-Bay opens July 1st. Girl Reserves and other school girls will register with Miss Brooks and other girls register with Miss King at the Phyllis Wheatley building. Get your name on the register early so as to assure yourself of a place at camp. Instead of the regular Membership Social this month there will be a party on the lawn of Mrs. J. S. Carter, 1311 Girard St., N. E., Brookland. This will afford an opportunity to have a delightful ride and pleasant surroundings for a social evening. At last Sunday Vespers, Rev. Stewart, the new pastor of Metropolitan Marine and Sousa's Bands respectively with great success; and his latest March entitled, "The Governor's Own," was recently played by the Marine Band at Keith's Theatre. As a music critic and writer, Frank Seltzer, an acknowledged authority himself, says: "His articles stamp him as one of the most learned writers of recent years." While in the city, Mr. Adams attended the Prize Composition Contest held at Dunbar High School recently and was highly enthused over the affair. He also visited the Naval department and the Army Music School in company with the writer and was cordially and gracefully received by the commanding officer and others. No sign of discrimination whatever was manifested in the visits as the uniform he wore as that of a Naval Bandmaster was sufficient assurance of his rank in the United States Navy and a passport of high distinction wherever he went. Alton A. Adams, Walter Loving, Dorsey Rhodes, Jack Thomas and a few others are making Negro history as Bandmasters and another one will graduate from the Army Music School this city, during this month of whom we shall make mention ere long. church, gave a very interesting and entertaining talk and won his way into the hearts of his hearers with his beautiful music. Mrs. Jumper and the choir, stewardesses and other members of the church accompanied Rev. Stewart. Next Sunday, June 11th, will be special Childrens' Day with services by children of several Sunday Schools. Mrs. Theresa Dickson of Seattle, Washington, is a guest at the Phyllis Wheatley. Other visitors, recently have been Dr. Chas. B. Purvis of Boston and Miss Alice Brady, General Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at Kansas City, Mo. Fights of the Past George Dixon, "Little Chocolate" who held the featherweight championship for ten years, began slipping in 1899, the last year of his reign. Several second-rate fighters, who in Dixon's earlier days would have been defeated easily, managed to stay the limit with him now. Will Curley, an English fighter, met and fought Dixon November 2, 1899 at the Broadway Athletic Club in New York. The Briton did not have a chance and as I have said, he would have been a cinch for George a few years back, Dixon was getting older and had to be satisfied with decisions instead of knockouts. Curley ducked everything for two rounds but finally he ran into a left hook in the third. George did not corner him again until the fifth then he batered Curley all over the ring forcing him to hang on until the bell, which was a welcome sound to the Englishman. The Britisher came out for the sixth greatly refreshed. He managed to stand Dixon off for two rounds, then he got wise to George's leads, blocking a number of them. In the eighth he got in a good left to the chin and a right to the stomach at the same time. They went along pretty even until the twelfth, when Curley all but got knocked out, being saved again by the bell. In this round George jabbed Curley's nose twice with his left and ripped to the heart. The champion then hooked him with a left on the jaw and dropped him with a right cross to the same spot. Curley's excellent condition helped him to recover quickly, while Dixon took it easy. The belt saved Curley again in the fourteenth round when Dixon drove a straight right to the jaw. The next seven rounds were pretty even and the fighters were rapidly tiring. In the twenty-second round Curley closed Dixon's left eye. The next round Dixon is fighting like a demon to put his man out but by clinching, Curley is able to save himself. And in the final round George is still fighting hard but the best he is able to get is the decision. James Reese Europe will be featured in next week's article.

Ten years was to be spent in secretly preparing and extending the organization in all sections of the United States. Before the expiration of that time, the underground railroad system was put into operation and this organization turned its attention to this activity. In 1871 Dickson reorganized under the name of The Knights and Daughters of Tabor. This Society is still in existence.)

The human race; a human being; an adult male person—Manhood, n. State of being a man; courage; bravery—Manly, a. Becoming a man; not childish; resolute—adv. In a manly manner—Mankind, a. Like a man in form, nature, character, etc.—Mankind, n. Human race; made portion of the human race. Such is Webster's definition of man. According to this definition we, Negroes, are men, are human. That being true we expect treatment from other men which should be accorded to men. But on the other hand. We must treat ourselves as human, as men. We must study; study; study. We must learn about what the race has done so as to be inspired to add glory and honor to our race. We must put forth the best in us. We must make things. We must make things that people want. We must have factors We must have respect for humankind. We must respect the rights of others. We must have courage. We must compel the respect of others. We cannot be real men until we do these things. An automobile, a home, an office cannot alone demand respect. Self respect leads to race respect and no Negro is going to receive the full measure of real respect until the race as a whole surrounds itself with worthy achievements. Don't be a rowdy. Don't be a cake-eater. 'Tis just a step between the two. Work. Get a dollar in your pocket. Better a dollar in the pocket than a pistol there. Buy a pistol, but keep it at home to protect your women folk. Every home in America is entitled to protection. Boys do you intend to be real men? I hope so. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: The "Children's Page" has been a great help to me. I always love to read it. Before it was printed I loved to read the "Cousin's Club." (Washington Post) now I enjoy reading the "Children's Page" best. I hope to see more pictures in the "Children's Page" when school closes. I am very sure that the children will spend more time in drawing then. I am sending in a little poem which I hope Granny Wastebacket will not get (Dear Little Tribunite, your interest is greatly appreciated. So you want more pictures. Very well.

THE MONSTER There was once an old man who was called a monster and he lived by himself because no one liked him. He was so cross that no one could live with him. One day a child was walking down the street and he said to it, "What is your name?" The child made no reply and went on its way. The monster wondered why no one paid any attention to him. "Oh! I know! I have been so cross to all of my people, and even to myself, and now I have no one who cares for me," he murmured. ELIZABETH JACKSON (Age ?) NEGRO CITIES It is said that Grayson is the oldest colored town in Oklahoma. When it was first opened as a town, it was called "Wild Cat." After it obtained proportions of a real town, and when business and professional men established themselves, they called for a vote on changing the name from Wild Cat to Grayson. This name is for a prominent Creek Freedman family that sold the land for the town site. Grayson is in the old Creek Nation, in Okmulgee county about fifty miles from Muskogee, near the Muskogee, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway. It is about a mile from the railroad. The first colored physician to hang up his shingle in Grayson was from Meharry Medical School in Nashville, Tenn. His coming meant much to the little place and now there are several physicians, dentists and lawyers there. Grayson, is on a beautiful prairie where one can see for miles in all directions. Very little cotton is raised in this section. Small grain and stock raising are the principal occupations. The oil leasers have invaded this section and oil derricks can be seen in the distance from the town. HOME No stately palace do I ask; No pillars lined with golden thread; In all of this I could not see The cozy home that would please me. Enough to eat, enough to drink, Pleasure fills this kind retreat; A better tavern could not be Than such a home that could please me. VIVIAN P. BRIGHT (Age 14) GERTRUDE'S ADVENTURES "It's time for supper, Gertie," called Mrs. Robinson. "All right, aunty, I'm coming." Then turning to Mary and Ruth, she said, "We'll meet tomorrow, eh?" "Sure we will," replied Ruth, "right after school." "All right! Good bye," and the three girls parted. "Ruth," said Mary, "I like Gert, don't you?" "No," said Ruth with a twinkle in her eyes. "No, I don't like her." "Why, because she is colored?" "No. Because I love her," came the cheery reply. "Isn't she a beautiful color," half asked, half asserted Mary. "Deed she is. She reminds me of a flower, of a shrub. I like to lie at night and think of her as a little brown flower. The more you crush a shrub the sweeter it seems to get, and so it is with Gertie. Did you notice how hurt she was when we said aunty called her a 'nigger'?" "But she didn't get angry did she?" "No. That is why I say she is just like the shrub—she was hurt—crushed, but she seemed so sorry—so sweet." "But, Ruth, a shrub isn't brown, it's sort of a dark red," said Mary. "I know, replied Ruth, "but it's near enough brown to make me think of Gert as being one." "Let's go back and call her 'shub' and run back home," replied Mary. No sooner said than attempted. The two little girls crept up to the gate of Gert's里, opened the gate and tiptoed along the flower bordered path, and out jumped Gertrude with a musical "Boo." "Ah, shucks!" pouted Mary, "why don't you let us do the surprising sometimes? You always seem—" "We've come to call you by your new name—" interrupted Ruth. "Oh! Gertrude," came in unison from the two white girls. "We were going to call you' shrub,'" explained Ruth. "Shrub? Shrub? Why?" asked Gertrude, wondering. Then Ruth and Mary told her why they had decided to call her Shrub. "That is a beautiful idea," said Gertrude's mother, who had observed the scene and heard the conversation from the window. "Won't you girls come in and have supper with Gertie?" "I smell biscuits, so I guess I'll come in," said Ruth. "Oh Ruthy," exclaimed Mary. "The idea—it's always biscuits." "Come on, girls," said Gertie, and they went into the cozy little dining room. After supper Ruth asked Gertie to play some music on the Victrola. "This isn't a Victor," remarked Gertrude. "This is a Swanola. It is made by a company of Negroes. This record is called a Black Swan record and is produced by the same company. Only Negroes work in the factory where these records are made. "This record is sung by Bessie Allison, here's one by Inez Richardson. Here are some fine pieces by Carlton Boxhill, Revella E. Hughes, Black Swan Trio, Ivan H. Browning and Lorenzo Wells." "You say they are all colored people?" asked Ruth. "They are," replied Gertrude. "There is another company which colored people sing and play for, it is a phonograph company which is operated by Jews. This company confines their colored artists' productions to blues, jazz, plantation songs and spirituals. The leading artists for them are Mamie Smith, the first col- ored woman to become famous as a record artist; Daisy Martin; Gertrude Saunders; Tim Bryann's orchestra; and Shelton Brooks." She continued, "Colored artists are not permitted to sing anything other than comical or light songs for the white companies; but they are capable of singing higher grade selections as is shown by some of these Black Swan records." Gertrude played some of the sacred songs sung by the Black Swan artists. "I've enjoyed those selections," admitted Ruth, "we have some Columbia records of Bert Williams and of the Fisk Jubilee Singers—" "Play this Emerson record 'Baltimore Buzz,'" interrupted Mary, "Is it pretty?" "It is rather catchy," informed Gert. "It is sung by Noble Sissle." "Noble Sissle!" exclaimed Mary. "Why he is our aunt's favorite comic song record artist. When we started to play one of Bert Williams' pieces she said she didn't want to hear a 'nigger.'" "And," added Ruth, "Aunty has a Pathe machine and she doesn't think much of the Columbia people for having colored people sing for them." "My dear," came the pleasant voice of Gertrude's mother, "Noble Sissle your aunt's favorite is a Negro who used to sing for the Pathe and he is the artist your aunt has been admiring. Fortunately I have a letter from Mr. Sissle which he sent me in answer to an inquiry I sent him: In response to your inquiry of May 4th, I beg to advise you: That I am the artist who sings for Pathe. The following colored artists have also recorded for the Pathe Company: Jim Europe's Band, Jim Europe's Harmony Kings, Jim Europe's Jubilee Singers, Lavinia Turner, Opal Cooper, Creighton Thompson, Eubie Blake Trio, Blake's Jazzzone Orchestra, Wilber Sweatman's Band, Biddle University Quartette, Sissle's Southland Singers, and the Memphis Pickaninny Band. I beg you to note that I am no longer recording for the Pathe as I have signed an exclusive contract with the Emerson, and will be featured there. You will perhaps enjoy my new records from the show "Shuffle Along" in which I am now appearing. Yours very truly, NOBLE SISSLE "Mr. Sissle is now with Shuf—" "There is the phone, mother, must I answer it?" asked Gertrude. "Yes, dear." Turning from the phone, Gert was interrupted by Ruth with, "I'll bet it was mother." "Yes it was. She says it's time to come home."

AN OLD STORY (Note: This story is written to show that although strong men were enslaved they were not always submissive, nor is it true that they were not capable of thinking.—Ed.) There is a story, told very much in the South, of an event which took place at the home of Henry Clay during slavery. We must not get the Kentucky politician, Henry Clay, confused with the greatest of all Southern Abolitionists, Cassius Marcellus Clay. Henry Clay owned a slave called Aaron. Aaron had formed the bad habit of getting drunk. One day he was to drive Mrs. Clay to town and while she was shopping, Aaron secured enough to drink to cause him to become drunk. He was in such condition that he was unable to manage the horse and Mrs. Clay had to secure another man to drive her home. Upon arriving home she informed her husband of the affair. The next morning the overseer was told of the incident and was instructed to whip Aaron. "Now, do it quietly," Mr. Clay told the overseer, "and be sure not to cut his skin. I don't want to hear any disturbance. Do it as gently as possible." One of the maids overheard the conversation and upon finding Aaron, told him about it. Aaron prepared himself for the worst, and the story goes, he braced himself with his favorite drink. He was ordered to the carriage house and after the overseer had locked the door he told Aaron he was to be whipped for getting drunk the day before. "Take off your coat," said the overseer. "If I take off my coat you ought to take off yours," said Aaron as he pulled off his coat. The overseer imagined Aaron to be very drunk, and to save time and argument he consented to take off his coat. Then the vest, and Aaron made the same request. When it came to the shirt the same request was made. As the overseer lifted his arms to pull his shirt over his head, Aaron seized him and bound him so he could not defend himself. He next took the whip and began whipping the overseer. The overseer began calling for help in the meantime threatening the Negro with vengeance. Aaron did not cease. Mr. Clay heard the noise and grew angry. "I told him" said he, "not to be too severe. He must be cutting the slave to pieces." "Open the door," he cried. "Didn't I tell you not to whip him hard? Open the door." "Oh, Mr. Clay! Aaron is whipping me! I haven't struck him a lick. Please make him stop. Mercy! Ouch! Mercy!!!" "Open this door, Aaron! Open it at once!" Aaron obeyed and when Mr. Clay entered he saw Aaron holding the whip in his right hand and with his left hand he retained a strong hold on the twisted shirt of the overseer. Mr. Clay took in the scene and when the overseer had finished giving an account of the affair he made a motion towards Aaron. "Stop," said Mr. Clay, "I think there has been enough whipping for today. Let this be the end of the matter." The men went their different ways. Two were smiling—and one wasn't. How To Join The T. P. C. C.

NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA Riot, Maiden Lane—In 1712 some runaway slaves set fire to a barn in an orchard just off Maiden Lane, New York, and in the riot which followed many slaves and slave owners were killed and wounded. Twenty-one slaves were captured by the militia. Some were hanged, some burned at the stake, some hung in chains, and some others were starved to death. As late as 1741 New York city was the scene of another riot. Fourteen Negroes were burned to death and eighteen were hanged. Advertise in the Tribune Shucks! Star. State.

Subscription Rates: One Year $2.50; Six Months $1.25 HAT IN HAND LONG ENOUGH The Negroes of the United States have carried their hats in their hands long enough. It is time that they were putting them on and wearing them like men. There is no room or place for the "me-to-boss," "hat-in-hand Negro" in the present or future life of the race in America. That type of Negro is considered and will be considered an impediment to the race. Yet, a large proportion of the Negroes of Washington in particular and of the country in general have not only carried their hats in their hands far too long, but they are still doing so under this present Republican Administration and swallowing its insults besides. "DOWN WITH SHERRILL" should be blazoned on every letter, in every newspaper and on cards in every conspicuous place. The blatant insults of this North Carolinian at the Lincoln Memorial Dedication, presents a new occasion for the Negroes of this country to demonstrate to the Republicans that they will no longer be carried around in the vest pockets of subservient Negro political parasites, but that the race can and will act in- ARE YOU DISCOURAGED? There are many reasons for the colored people of this country to be discouraged. Fortunately there is a characteristic optimism in our make up that will not down. However, there is much unrest and dissatisfaction throut the country which is conducive to progress if discouragement is kept in the background. Discouragement is one of the greatest of human enemies. It is an unmitigated curse. It has done more to dwarf the efforts of the race, has thwarted more careers, stunted and starved more lives, ruined more creative power and hindered our progress more than any other one agent. It is an indirect producer of poverty, because it paralyzes ability and blights efficiency. No man is level headed when he is discouraged or blue. Men who have done great things, made stepping stones of their failures. When Abraham Lincoln was a young man he ran for the legislature in Illinois and was badly defeated. He next entered business, failed, and spent ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS The Woman's Evangelistic and Missionary Union will be held at the Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday June 11.

Of all places in this country and of all times, the occasion of the Lincoln Dedication was the last place to Jim Crow colored people. Lt. Col. Sherrill, who ordered section V set apart for colored people, must have little regard for Lincoln's memory and none whatever for the rights and feelings of colored people. The shame of it all is that many of the very ones discriminated against were the leading Republican politicians, yet they seem to have practically acquiesced in the Jim Crow order and accepted it, since it appeared to be dictated by th ebosses, for the bosses must not be antagonized. But there are a goodly number of the race not so easily squelched. Inasmuch as adopting resolutions and sending petitions to the White House have so far not got us anywhere it seems time for us to make some other and more drastic move. But first of all let us—all of us—put our hats on our heads and keep them there. Sherrill and his kind—and if need be his sponsors—MUST GO! seventeen years of his life paying off the debts of a worthless partner. He was in love with a beautiful young woman to whom he became engaged —she died. Entering politics again, he ran for Congress was badly defeated. He then tried to get an appointment to a United States Land Office, but failed. In 1856 he was a candidate for the vice-presidency which resulted in defeat. He became in 1858 a candidate for the United States Senate, was again defeated. One failure after another, bad failures, great setbacks. However, in the face of all this, he eventually became president and history records him as one of the greatest Americans that ever lived. When reviewing a series of defeats like this, do you not feel rather small to become discouraged just because you think you are having a hard time? Brace up, and remember that "Not failure, but low aim is crime." King's Pocket League of Washington rendered several Jubilee selections. Mrs. Coomer, mother and sister, all of Trenton, N.
