The Washington Tribune FRYE CONVICTED OF DR. BROWN'S MURDER All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. 2, No. 11. NAVAL OFFICER ACCUSED OF HOLDING GIRL IN PEONAGE Haitian Minister Appeared Timid When Told About About three months ago the District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had its attention called to a case of peonage in Washington. Altida Supplice, a Haitian girl under fifteen years of age, was brought to this country from Port au Prince by the wife of a Captain of the Marine Corps, at one time stationed in Haiti, with promises of employment with wage consideration. She had been with this family nearly a year and had been compelled to do all kinds of work for the family, laundry, chamber work, cooking, and cleaning of all kinds, and while she was to have received Ten Dollars per month, as a matter of fact when paid she received Five Dollars sometimes and the other months charges were made, for clothing, sufficient to cover the amount due and leave her in debt to her employers. The girl becoming dissatisfied with this condition ran away but was retaken and returned to the employers. Her second attempt to get away was about Easter when the information was given to the District of Columbia Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. by Mrs. Turner of $932_{1/2}$ Florida Avenue, N.W. Investigation proved that the girl had been improperly treated, deprived of compensation that was due her, was without sufficient clothing and was in horror of being returned to her employers. Through some friends, who were kindly disposed to aid in relieving the situation, she was placed while the investigation was being made. The matter was called to the attention of the Haitian Minister, Hon. Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, by Mr. Davidson accompanied by Prof. Metz Lochard of Howard University, who acted as interpreter, and Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. William Pickens, who chanced to be in the City at the time. The first interview with the Haitian Minister, Hon. Mr. Bailly-Blanchard, rather impressed the Committee with his unwillingness to take up the mater but upon insistence he stated that since the girl was under age and her whereabouts being unknown to her parents, she having been brought away without their consent, the Marine Officer could be compelled to return her at his expense, and finally consented to have a conference with the Marine Officer's wife. This conference resulted in a charge against the girl by the wife of the Marine Officer, denying the charges of peonage and stating that the girl was worthage to her and that she had not been mistreated, all of which had been substantially proven by several persons who had been in the employ of this family and knew that the statement of the Haitian girl was correct. The Haitian Minister called up Mr. Davidson and requested him to get in touch with the wife of the Marine, which he did, and found that the Police Department had been asked to find the girl and return her to this home. With this information, steps were immediately taken to place the girl under the Board of Children's Guardians in view of being homeless, without proper parental care, she would be a charge on the District and in consequence the Immigration authorities would take up the matter with a view to her deportation. This was done with the result that the Immigration Bureau investigated the matter and has succeeded in having the Government confirm the order for Published Weekly ROYAL WELCOME GIVEN AFRICAN KINGS BY VAST CROWD IN PARIS France Praises Soldiers, instead of Insulting Them Like U. S. France, unlike America, is giving full recognition to her black subjects who fought in the late war. One o the latest acts of the French government in recognition of the wonderful service rendered by her Colonial troops, were the honors bestowed upon twenty-seven gings who rule in the wilds of Africa. These kings, who represent every French possession in Africa, assisted the French in recruiting soldiers in their dominons and n sending food to France. As they remembered France, now France remembers them. The Frenchmen again prove that they know no color line when service is rendered to France. The French government sent invitations to these ruling monarchs and also sent a French ship to convey them to France. Their trip and all the entertaining is at the expense of the French government. A big celebration was held on the French Independence Day and the African kings took prominent parts. A report from Paris stated that the African Kings received as much applause when they were received by President Millerand, as did the pollus on their first appearance on parade after the armistice was signed. President Millerand received them and thanked them for the 200,000 soldiers they sent to France to fight. The Kings brought their wives, children and servants. The official program of their visit will take them to see the battlefields where African riflemen did yeoman service for France, and other places of interest about the French capital. The contrast to the treatment of the Negro soldiers and now of their Fathers and Mothers, by the French Government, and the reception given America's Negro soldiers is enough to insult every Negro in America. Instead of inviting the American Negro soldier back home and offering him the privileges of the citizenship which are rightfully his, boastful America greeted him with discrimination of all kinds, and race riots. The thanks the Fathers and mothers of Negro soldiers received for their sacrifice was a revival of the Ku Klux Klan. Southern newspapers, as was only recently pointed out at Harvard by a student, began at once to tell the Negro soldiers that the war was over and the sooner the forget it the better. "Pull off your uniform," they said, "find the place you had before the war, and stay in it," "Act like a Negro should act," said one newspaper, "work like a Negro should work, talk like a Negro should talk, study like a Negro should study. Dismiss all ideas of independence or of being lifted up to the lane of the white man. Understand the necessity of keeping a Negro's place." France has bestowed every kind of medal on her Negro soldiers, while not a single American Negro soldier that we know of, has received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Mrs. Georgia B. Henry, 1911, Second St., N.W., who was furloughed was recently sent for and assigned to her former position as examiner and counter in the Surface Division. deportation and the passport and necessary papers which were in the possession of the girl have been turned over to the Immigration authorities who will, on the sailing of the first vessel from this country, see that she is taken to Port Prince. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY; JULY 22, 1922 HARDING'S POSITION ON RACE ISSUE COMPLETE REVERSAL OF PRE-ELECTION STAND Many and loud have been the lamentations about the short comings of the Harding Administration. Protest after protests have been made about the treatment or rather lack of treatment given the Negro who was led to believe before the last presidential election, that President Harding would be another emancipator like Lincoln. That the Negro had a right to expect much cannot be questioned, because the then presidential nominee, Senator Harding, made many promises and bold statements, both to delegations, that called to see him, and in correspondence with the press and personal friends. Not only did the then Senator Harding show much evidence of friendship to the Negro but manifested a desire to assist the Negro in obtaining his civil rights. His position on the Negro question was shared by his campaign managers. Joseph C. Manning, formerly of Alabama, who for years has been a fighter for human rights and who has suffered greatly because of his position on the rights of the Negro, became interested in the Harding campaign and had much correspondence with Senator Harding. Particularly do Republican party leaders know Mr. Manning and what he has stood for and upheld in his public activities. In 1919 he was frequently in Washington armed with data and holding discus- BUSINESS EXPANDING ON U STREET Need of a Public Comfort Station on Triangle Pointed Out The improvements being made along U Street, Northwest, will make a better and more attractive street of this popular thorofare. The Masons are excavating on their lot at the corner of 10th and U for a five story building with basement. There are to be eleven store rooms on the first floor. This beautiful building will add much to the general commercial value of the street and offer eleven opportunities for colored business establishments. The second and third floors are to be for offices and will offer opportunities to the professional and business men requiring office space. The corner stone of this building will be laid during the week of August 6th. On the corner of 11th and U Streets the National Mutual Association will soon begin the erection of a two story business block. They plan to have three store rooms on the first floor. In the twelve hundred block, Mr. Satterfield is erecting a two-story building designed for business purposes. This building will be ready for occupancy about the first of August. Dr. Evans has had the tenants of his large house on the corner of 12th and U Streets to vacate so that he can tear down that building and erect a modern four-story apartment on that prominent corner. The street car company has recently finished laying a new track from 9th to 18th street, on U. With these improvements made by private citizens, and the constant throngs on U Street, one improvement much needed which the District should make, which will render a service to the citizens of this section, is that of a comfort station. The trian- sions on Southern conditions. It was then that he more than once conferred with Senator Harding. He often sent Mr. Harding clippings of articles he wrote on disfranchisement and other subjects. From the replies to his correspondence, Mr. Manning came to believe in the sincerity of the interest on the part of Senator Harding as well as did many other people. So, Mr. Manning gave very earnest support to the presidential nominee in 1920. It would appear that Mr. Daugherty esteemed this support also. One of the most outstanding letters in the Harding-Manning correspondence was written by Mr. Harding on June 11, 1919. The letter follows: Mr. Joseph C. Manning, New York City. My dear Mr. Manning: Permit this tardy acknowledgement of your note of June 6th, together with a clipping from the Cleveland Gazette, in which you so forcefully expressed yourself regarding the insincerity of many of the things said by the present national administration. Much of a high sounding nature has been said about the warfare for democracy, but no one can pretend we are making any progress in establishing wholly free democracy in our own (Continued on page 8) MODERN LAUNDRY OPENED IN S.W. THIS WEEK Equipped With All Modern Machinery and Motor Truck Delivery A new business establishment opened for business last Monday in the South West section, which adds to the fast growing progressive Negro business houses in Washington. This new venture is The New Method Laundry Company, located at 1326 6th St., S.W., and was organized by Mr. C. J. Hammond. The company will do a general laundry business, and will use only the latest and most improved methods of laundering. No caustics or other harmful and injurious bleaches will be used in washing; a new and original method for removing stains, iron rust, etc., will be installed, and many other new features. The building is a two story brick, about 250 feet deep with a large yard, both back and front. All machinery is of the latest type and especially constructed for keeping each and every wash separate. The laundering will be under the direct supervision of Mr. Oscar Bartie, a laundryman of twenty-six years experience and a graduate of the Suds School of Syracuse, N. Y. The transportation department is in charge of Mr. J. W. Mosley and is equipped with motor trucks for prompt delivery. The outlook for the success of the company is very bright. gle on U Street, between Vermont Avenue and 10th would be the logical location for such an improvement. The District owns the land already, so that would not enter into the cost of the installation of the station. The appeal should be made before August 1st to the Commissioners, so that it would be included in this year's budget. REPUDIATED CONFESSION MADE LAST YEAR AND ACCUSED DR. JOHN FRANCIS OF CRIME Jury Returns Verdict of Second Degree Murder After Short Deliberation. Will Be Sentenced Later OWN'S N REPUDIATED CO LAST YEAR A DR. JOHN FR Jury Returns Verdict of Short Deliberation. The jury in the case of the United States vs. James Alphonzo Frye, who was tried for the murder of Dr. Robert W. Brown, at his residence, 1739 11th Street, returned a verdict of second degree murder, Thursday afternoon. This verdict carries a maximum punishment of 20 years in the U. S. penitentiary. He will possibly be sentenced next Friday. Mattingly and Wood were the defendant's attorneys. They tried to obtain permission of Justice McCoy, before whom the case was tried, to present Dr. William M. Marston, of the American University, operator of a machine said to be "truth tester" but were overruled. Justice said he had some books on the syphygmometer which he would read on his vacation and possibly by next year his mind would be changed as to the common usefulness of such a machine. District attorney Bilryd had charge of the case for the Government. Frye's Arrest Frye was arrested the 16th of last August, on a highway robbery charge, with Wm. N. Bowie. The officers received a tip to question Frye about the Brown murder. About a week after his arrest, he made a confession of the murder before Inspector Grant. In June of this year, he gave out a signed statement to the effect that Dr. John Francis, told him (Frye) that he (Francis) shot Dr. Brown. On the witness stand, Frye repudiated his first confession, saying that "not a word of the confession made before Inspector Grant was true." He also testified that his statement made in June, to the effect that Dr. Francis told him that he shot Dr. Brown, was true. He went over in-detail, his statement of last August, but said that Dr. Francis told him all of this on Wednesday night, after the murder of Dr. Brown, on Nov. 27, 1920. The mysterious murder of Dr. Brown, on Saturday night, Nov. 27, 1920 caused one of the greatest sensations in Washington. The trial of Frye was attended by large crowds each day. Frye's Confession Frye was convicted practically on his confession made last August before Inspector Grant, Detectives Jones and Jackson. His confession was supported by the testimony of Dr. Julian Jackson, who admitted him into Dr. Brown's house and by Mr. Wm. Robinson, who went into the office about the time Frye entered. In his confession Frye is alleged to have stated that, on the night of the murder he went to Dr. Brown's office twice and found the doctor out. On these two occasions, a woman answered the door. He stated that he again returned about nine o'clock and was admitted by a man who wore glasses. On this visit the doctor was in. While in the waiting room he stated a man, wearing a velour hat, came in, and he, Frye, suggested to this patient that he (Frye) would wait, giving up his turn to see the doctor. He states that he did so, because he was suffering from a severe attack of venereal disease, and that he felt it would take the doctor some time to examine him. Thereupon the other patient, who it develops to be Mr. Wm. Robinson of 1835 12th St., N. W., was waited on and left the room. Frye's confession further stated that the doctor wrote the prescription, and before giving it to him asked him how much money he had. He stated he told the doctor that he had one dollar, but that he would go and get another dollar. He left the office, attempted to borrow a dollar, and in --- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS MURDER INFESSION MADE AND ACCUSED FRANCIS OF CRIME Second Degree Murder. After Will Be Sentenced Later failing to do so, went to his home on Sixth Street and got his revolver, which he had purchased from a soldier for six dollars; returned to the doctor's office, and after explaining to the doctor that he could not borrow a dollar offered the doctor the revolver to hold until he brought him in the other dollar. Frye stated that at this point, the doctor refused the revolver and be- JAMES A. FRYE came very indignant, using vulgar language, and ordering him out of his office. He states that he told the doctor "You needn't use that rough stuff," whereupon the doctor struck him in the face, he returning the blow to the doctor's head with the but end of the revolver. In the tussel that followed from the little office to the front door, several blows, were passed; he states that at the door the doctor grabbed and choked him to the floor, and that it was while down that he shot at the doctor three or four times, one shot striking him in the head. Frye stated that he pushed the doctor's body aside, opened the door, ran across the yard, jumped over the north fence into the alley, fired a shot in the air to frighten the man who pursued him, (this man was Dr. Jackson of Norfolk), ran to Tenth St., up Tenth to either French or West-minister (he didn't remember which) thence to 9th, up 9th to T, out T to Georgia Ave., thence to W, and threw the revolver over the lumber yard fence on W St., near 6th, thence up Sixth to his home. He stated that the reason the revolver was loaded was because he didn't know how to unload it. Dr. Brown was one of the successful business men of Washington and stood high in the medical profession; he was president of the National Benefit Insurance Co. of this city and was connected with many fraternal organizations. He was considered one of the wealthiest colored men in the United States. At the time of his death his two daughter lived with him. He maintained his office in his home at 1739 Eleventh St. N.W.

LOCAL MUSIC TEACHERS We are going to bring our local music teachers in the lime light. They have been obscured from the public eye for one reason or other, quite long enough. They deserve a better fate, these deserving public servants of the masses, who toil month in and month out, year after year, training our folk in musical education and in an art quite essential to the well-bred, well-informed, well-balanced individual. Most folks think of music teachers in measured terms, not once realizing their value to the community at large. Where do we get our great singers, great organists, great pianists, great musicians other than as developed many times by some unnoticed and unheard of music teacher in some obscured village or town? The great cities furnish the gobetween, the medium, for a larger vision in things musical, and, by the way, Washington can boast of a large list of music teachers, among whom may be found some of the best in the country. Here's the list in part, excluding public school teachers in this particular case: R. J. Daniels, M. Harvey, Celestine Lott, Josephine Muse, Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey Rhodes, Edna Gordon, William H. Braxton, Marie Jumper, M. Harrison-Bailey, Mrs. Jarvis (of Asbury); John M. Johnson, Olive Jones, W. Slater, Lulu Howe Robinson, Miss Rivers, Gregoria Fraser-Goins, Robert A. Blackwell, M.

Don't you think the civic welfare of the community is greatly enhanced by the moral influence and training of good music teachers in and out of the home? Don't you think it is about time that we give the MUSIC TEACHERS a higher rating and their rightful place amng "professionals"? AND, don't you think that MUSIC TEACHERS, at least, should ORGANIZE for their own mutual advancement and welfare, instead of forever and eternally HANGING APART? Why even the garbage-men and street-sweepers have beaten them to it! 11 A Negro who was injured on 16th Street early last Saturday morning was taken to the Emergency Hospital for first aid and then home. He claims that the doctors at the hospital failed to do anytihg for him and gave him no consideration. What he should have done was to have had The Tribune notified immediately; instead he did nothing and the matter was only accidentally discovered Monday. We then attempted to investigate but the scent was cold. Nobody at the hospital knew anything about the man or the accident. Once more a rumor of discrimination went unverified, and The Tribune cannot wage a campaign on bare rumors. The remedy is for each and every reader to make it a personal matter to send in all reports of discrimination with names and addresses of witnesses at once. The Tribune is the Negro's servant and champion. Investigation of his wrongs is its business. But in matters involving discrimination it will usually have to depend on reports from its readers for a start, because discrimination is generally done in secret and far from a reporter's eyes. Motto: Get busy for it may be your turn on the stretcheers next. One by one the peaks of the earth have fallen before the assault of man, but the summit of Mount Everest still remains untrodd. The second British expedition has been forced to turn back after superhuman efforts short of the top. The attempt though unsuccessful, however, carries its own glory. Better luck next time. There will be a next time for we have seen enough of the white man to know that he will send expedition after expedition to the quest until the last height has been scaled. Nature flings no challenge at him which he does not accept with a will. Are we behind? Not at all; the only difference is that we are in a valley surrounded on all sides by peaks which make Me Everest look like the proverbial molehill. But it is just a question of time before we go over the top, kind friend, just a question of time. The Lincoln re-opened Monday evening to a packed house. The bill was uneven, running from the very good to the very bad. There was no merit to the opening ensemble, and the only thing which saved the first act was the two puppy dogs. On the whole the instrumental work was the best feature, with dancing a good second and singing a poor third—Clarence Williams and Eva Taylor excepted. Miss Taylor was especially effective with "Dear Old Southland" and Williams was clever with his blues. The soloist in the last act had a good voice but we wish she would stop singing about Caroline an dpay some attention to Caroline's grandchildren, they certainly must be full grown by this time. The instrumental work, however, completely met the announcements. The Spillers were excellent, their drummer superb. But the thing which stopped the show was the way that dark gentleman in the last act blew his clarinet. He got more weird effects out of that little tube than most people could coax out of a band. Then not content he brought out a lady with a fluttering cornet and another gentleman of color with a laughing trombone. They played—with what a lingering passion they did play. We would be their press agent for life just for two selections a day. ACTORS OF THE PAST By Quentin Black Patti, Sisserretta Jones, the daughter of a clergyman and one of our best known performers was born in Richmond, Va. Her first public appearance was choir work in her father's church. Following this she began to give church recitals, travelling all over the country, until the early nineties. At that time many colored musical shows were being organized and she was induced to head one as prima donna. This organization was known as "Black Patti's Troubadors" and existed about sixteen years playing abroad as well as in this country. During her reign as a singer, Patti, had few equals. She had a wonderful soprano voice which was highly cultivated. When she sang "Swanee River" and "Old Kentucky Home" she seemed to be inspired. Black Patti last appeared here in Washington about 1911 at the Howard Theatre. Shortly afterwards she retired from the stage. The following year the manager of the Pekin Theatre persuaded her to appear there for one week in vaudeville. Later in the season she appeared in New York at the Lafayette Theatre receiving it is said $500 for the week. After this engagement she retired from public appearances. Mme. Jones is now living in Providence. R. L. Notice Let all the earth keep silent. God is speaking. Come and hear Mme.

In the first inning Anderson allowed ten men to visit the bases, seven of them making the circuit. Anderson's poor delivery gave the All-Stars a lead of seven runs. Taylor and Gilbert was a little better than Anderson but they allowed the runs to reach the total of 12. The All-Stars played a fair game of ball. Broadus Beckham, the young pitcher who worked so well with the Piedmonts last season, went well for six innings. Bill Johnson was sent in for a little exhibition pitching, and Brown faced the Asburians in the eighth and almost spilled the beans. Fair support saved him. For the ninth inning Allan Beckham displayed a brand of pitching that was professional to all the preceding pitching of the day. A demonstration of what kills the success of a good manager was exhibited when Manager Byrd allowed Brown to face fast company. Many of the All-Stars objected in an unsportmanlike way. Perry Felton, the former regular of the Lafayettes, held second in his customary style. Byrd's catching was excellent. The All-Stars need good youngsters to take the place of Rose in center and Brown on second. Manager Byrd expects to repeat next Sunday with a victory over the Brookland Giants.

The Terrible Awakening. Fainting in the arms of the millionaire, Lady Vivienne awoke to find him lying dead at her feet. Overcome by fear she fied from England and sailed for South Africa. 2. The White Captive. Trekking across the African veldt she wandered from her wagon and was lost in the desert. After many hours under the broiling sun she sighted a camp. A few moments of rest and she learned the terrible truth — she was a captive of a desert renegade. 3. The Terrific Flood. Then came tense, thrilling moments — the escape, "the sting of wild honey," the coward's confession, the plot, the explosion of the dam, the terrible flood, the rescue and, finally — happiness. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1922 team strolled down to No. 8 diamond Saturday at 4:30 p. m. expecting to play a 5:30 game, finding it had been forfeited at 2:30. Hard luck, Frazier, better get a little closer to Artie Brown. Manager "Cy" of the Bureau on learning the Navy Yard had forfeited "I don't want a game given to me, I would rather play for it." "Some Ball" Punch remarked, "This is easier than playing for it." "Tom" Payne and Manager Bryant of the Gen. Accts. team pulled a surprise on "Gil" Bland and his wrecked Treasury players Saturday. With a full strong lineup and "Mantyne" Harris (who is now holding the strike out record) pitching in form, the Accts. drove Grant from the box in the second inning. Bland taking the duties of pitching upon himself holding the Accts. to 3 runs while his mates could not find Harris when hits were needed. "Muley" Stewart one of the best base runners among sandlot players fell prey to Harris' deceptive pitching, being caught off first twice. "Jimmie" Brown trying out as an umpire had the crowd on his neck from the first inning. When that crowd starts ragging an umpire it is "good night" umpire. A few more postponed games have yet to be played to determine the winner of the first series. Official announcement will be made as soon as determined. Rain and wet grounds are leading the league in the second series so far. Rain, Won 3, Lost 0; Pct. 1000. ST.

A fine spirit characterized the whole game and both teams played a clean game. Rev. John F. Moore, pastor of the Green Spring charge accompanied the team and rooted for his team hoping for a victory over the Woodlawn slides, while Rev. P. G. Myers stood calmly by relying on the ability of the slides to put it over. Green Spring entertained the visitors royally and everybody left feeling fine. Woodlawn not only carried away the victory but the best and kindest wishes of Green Spring. Piedmont Athletics The public has been inquiring about the work of the Pledmont Athletic Club this season. The Piedmonts have played fourteen games this season winning twelve and losing two and, usually defeating their opponents by a large score. The last game was played Sunday July 16th with the Oriental Tigers and was a very interesting, fast and thrilling game; one that was admired and enjoyed by all who saw it. The score was 5-2 in favor of the Piedmonts. Egges pitched good ball for the Oriental Tigers, but, was unable to find the weak spot of the Piedmonts, while Taylor held the Tigers well at bay allowing only two runs and seven hits. He walked four. At one point of the game Taylor had the bases loaded with no outs but the Tigers did not score. Lots of credit is due to the splendid fielding of W. Mackall and C. Nickens often robbing the Tigers of sure hits. The fans who wish to see the Piedmonts in action can do so by going with them to Annapolis, Md., Sunday, where they are due to meet the Weldon Giants of that city. Watch this paper for dates with the following teams, Ledroit Tigers, Washington A. C., Deanwood and St. Cyprians. For games address G. H. Bland, 121 12th St., N. W. PIEDMONT ATHLETICS DEFEAT ORIENTAL TIGERS The Piedmont Athletics defeated the fast Oriental Tigers, Sunday at Brightwood, July 16th, 5 to 2. Ed. Taylor the hero, allowed only four hits. The game was well played until the Piedmonts' artillery came up in the 7th and broke up the game by scoring three runs. The Oriental Tigers invited the Piedmonts down to their diamond in Southwest Sunday July 9th, which ended with another victory for the Piedmonts Athletics with Bland and Blackward hurling. The final score was 6 to 4 in favor of the Piedmonts. ST.

This only shows how shrewd Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager is. It has often been said a good manager was half of a battle. The New York State Commission allowed Dempsey a limited time to sign up for the fight or forfeit his title so Kearn's has evaded this by having his man sign the agreement, they may fight next year or never. Dave Driscoll, match-maker for the fighting department of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, is trying to arrange a match between Wills and Tut Jackson the Ohio fighting wonder. Jackson says he is willing, so probably the fight will come off in early fall. This boy Jackson is no dub. He has been fighting for little over a year engaging in more than fifty battles winning most of them by knockouts. His victories include one over Sam Langford. Sam Langford joined forces with his ancient enemy, Jack Johnson, and right away misfortune overtook him. While in Pittsburgh last week en route to Detroit Sam was arrested for assaulting a cigar store keeper who claimed that Langford had taken a number of cigars, refusing to pay for them. Langford was released. Battling Siki the Senegalese boxer has been matched to fight Frank Moran (white) twenty rounds early in September in Paris. Georges Carpentier recently refused to meet Siki in a match although the promoters offered 500,000 francs. The "Plantation Revue" headed by Florence Mills, opens on Broadway Monday night making the third colored show on the White Way. Suit against the American Burlesque enterprise and Jack Johnson has been started by Mrs. Margaret M. Broham for injuries sustained when a punching bag knocked by Johnson flew out in the audience at the Academy, Buffalo, N. Y. last November rendering the plaintiff unconscious for a half an hour. A. L. Erlanger and Lee Shubert, have issued a decree that they will book no show or act that uses offensive racial caricature or references. Marjorie Sipp, recently returned from Paris, is being featured in "Plantation Days" playing at the Green Mill, Chicago.

"FOOLS FIRST" THE HIDDENPOWER A strong drama of a Colored Man who set a great standard—the best work of the author of "Cornered," "The Golden Scheme," "Breathless Moments," etc. (Copyright 1922, John Lewis Hillman) May sunlight tinted the Tulge University campus where thousands thronged and watched the inter-scholastic field meet of several colleges. The peanut and cracker-jack munching stands were almost quiet when sixteen athletes toed the mark for the century dash. In the front of the stands where gay colors flaunted the breeze sat Emily Tolson with Prof. Tom Grandstone, her grandfather. *Do you think he's got a chnace to win against such a field?" asked Emily, all expectancy. "Who?" countered her grandparent, then bestirred himself. Certainly he knew of whom she was talking. "Yes, Harrison Clay is a fine athlete, Emily. He's built something like your grandpap;—I used to tow big saplins a mile and half to the farmhouse, then chop 'em for kindlin' wood." Emily jumped in her seat and almost dropped the silken cloth in her lap, as a pistol shot rang out and the "starter" had sent the runners down the cinderpath. Spiked sandals patterned swiftly along the chalked runway, and the immense gathering leaned forward. Tall, lithe and bronze, Harrison Clay led the field by five yards. The student body of Tulge University arose and gave a mighty shout when he crossed the tane first. While assistants managed the hero—massaged his muscles and threw a blanket around his shoulders—Emily Tolson rushed forward and pinned a big silk T on his breast. "You've more than won your T, Harrison." she announced radiantly. Then, when she turned away from his frank brown eyes that expressed the proudest moment of hi slife, she heard her grandfather comment at her elbow: "That was well done, son. Step over closer a minute." Then began the old man's examination of the youth's frontal and temporal bones; for Tom Grandstone was a philosopher—a philoprogenitive philosopher, "Yes, Sir." Assiduously he went about his task as From the arc steel construct setters—all went into the From the architect to the painters—bricklayers, carpenters, steel constructors, cement workers, steam fitters and even tile setters—all the money spent in the erection of this building went into the hands of Colored men.

Finally the old man dropped his hands and sagely gazed into the blue firmament of spACE, and spoke as one in a trance: "You have a future, if you will, my lad. Your frontal and temporal capacity is developed to the highest degree. Within you lies a great hidden power." "What is this power?" interrogated Harrison, skeptically surprised. I don't quite understand! Absently he glanced around then focussed his eyes upon the philosopher. "Seek long and earnestly and you shall find out," came the wise reply. Emily searched Harrison's face with new interest, visions of unexplored greatness flitting across her mind. "Grandfather seldom errs, Harrison. I'm sure you'll remember what he has sajd." Fervently she grasped his hand and wished him well. The impression stayed with Harrison and kept him alert to life's possibilities. Twilight gray was slowly melting into night where a few church spires towered above all else in the quaint and picturesque village of Pomeroy, Dixie, when Harrison accosted his father on the subject of learning. "I think I should spend my last year in a Northern university," he pointedly told his only parent, "though the schools here are as good as those anywhere, I suppose." "Yes," replied the elder Clay. "You shall have all the advantages I can give you. Emily's grandfather predicts a brilliant future for you if will persevere. "For twenty years I have worked in Wormley's Carriage Shop and saved $5 a week in trust with Mr. Wormley. Though no legal record has been kept of it, that $5,220 is as safe as if it was in my hands now. My employer will be back from a trip west next week; then I'll attend to the matter. Yet, I haven't asked him for the money for lo these many years! "Prof. Grandstone has just about stirred up this household to the boiling point. But, God knows I hate to ask Mr. James J. Wormley for the money." Restlessly he paced the floor of the living room. Slowly he walked before the tall hall mirror and rehearsed just how he would approach Mr. Wormley and withdraw his savings. Yes, it had to be done, he told himself, emphasizing his pursed lips by striking his cane resoundingly on the floor. He loked determined enough; but would his nerve fail him? Forcibly he began speaking to an imaginary Mr. Wormley: architect to the painters—bricklayer, tors, cement workers, steam fitter, the money spent in the erection of hands of Colored men.

His five thousand dollars represented the savings of a life time; and each one of the edollars was equivalent to a desire suppressed here and a denial of self-indulgence there; and the sum total showed in every line of his honest rugged countenance. In the plainest black clothes hanging loosely on his frame, he stood, a woe-begone figure before his mirror. His whole attitude was indicative of the lack of self-confidence which only self-mastery can acquire. Lamentable experiences of thousands of Negroes, in the field of finance, taught them such a degree of caution that they hoarded their savings in the most unique and peculiar places Meanwhile Harrison Clay found Prof. Grandstone teaching his granddaughter, Emily Tolson, how to row a boat. Forthwith he began: "Prof. Grandstone, can you suggest a way to develop nerve and will power?" "Young man," said the old sage, looking up. "Learn to curb your childish weaknesses first. That's the way to develop will power. If you're in the habit of getting peeved and angry at little things, say I'll not let this little thing annoy me," then smile. Also, practice makes perfect." "That's right," concurred Harrison. "But I never thought of it in that light. Father often gets peeved at Aunt Simanthy, the housekeeper, over trifles. Of course I don't remember my mother."

"I don't mind," consented Harrison, dropping his air of glumness as if by magic. "Be careful, children," warned Prof. Grandstone, trudging off down a well beaten path. Evening's gorgeous sunset played purple and gold ribbons on the ripply waters of tranquil beauty, where the boat shot ahead in the glorious picture, a rapt diffusion of colors in water and sky. In midstream Harrison dallied with the oars and spoke in smooth clinking accents: "Isn't a water sunet a dream when you're with a real pal?" significantly. "The sunset is wonderful!" shyly answered Emily, turning her head in feigned innocence. Still there was a glad song in her heart. "The sunset is only part of life's photoplay," he enlightened her. "The gloaming and purple shadows steal into dusk; then it is gone. But we linger, and the scene becomes a treasured memory. And memories urge us on to happiness." "But how can one be happy when we see so much ignorance, vice, poverty, and injustice?" Involuntarily she shuddered, as if to blot out some sad impression which she recalled. While drifting with the current their ears caught sweet strains of a beautifl waltz walthed along on the breeze. They were passing a magnificent resort's amusement park. The music swelled with contentment and repose. A distant landnig and greensward, swarmed with a multitude of lads and lasses, stirred within the pair a feeling akin to homesickness. Restraint and repression toward a race, seemed the code of the throngs that differed from the two only slightly in the matter of complexion. They remained silent for a time, each busy with secret thoughts. And who could tell but what their thoughts were the same? Then the faraway music was drowned by wild screams at the bridge now fifty feet away. Straining their eyes they made out the form of a girl hurling thro space from the bridge to the dark water below. Harrison, appalled and excited, rowed like the "varsity eight" toward the bobbing head of the girl struggling in the water. Quickly diving from the boat he gathered the drowning girl under his arm and headed for shore. Dripping wet and exhausted he-deposited his burden, a fourteen year-old white girl, on the bank. (Continued next week) ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Miss Kathryn Johnson of Ohio, who served for eighteen months in France with the American Expeditionary Forces, in Y. M. C.A. work, spent the week-end as the guest of Mrs. Delilah Murray. Miss Johnson is the joint-author with Miss Addie W. Hunton of a book, "Two Colored Women with the A.E. F." The book is a fine large work and amply illustrated. Miss Johnson has been on a lecture tour through the Southwest and South for several months. She was accompanied to this city by Dr. Minnie Thorpe of Richmond. They came by automobile. On to Newark is the slogan of the Alexandria Lodge No. 48 of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. and the boys are making all preparations for the journey. The lodge has succeeded in getting reduced rates for all of their friends, whether they are Elks or not. Full particulars regarding same will appear in next week's issue of the Tribune. The Marching Club has secured new uniforms and are expected to win a prize at this year's convention. The lodge wishes to correct a rumor that has been going the round for several weeks regarding the coming Elks' Parade in the City of Newark during the Annual Convention in August. The rumor has been to the effect that the local committee at Newark had met with opposition from the city authorities in procuring a parade permit. The Tribune is in position to state that this rumor is false. The facts of the matter are, that on beautiful Broad Street, Newark's renowned thoroughfare, no parade of any kind is ever permitted until after 6 p.m. on week days. But as it is such a splendid way through which to send a parade such as the Elks generally have, the committee is seriously thinking of having the parade take place in the cool of the day so as to permit it to swing into Broad Street at six o'clock. The following is the direction to reach the Alexandria headquarters at Newark, N. J. Get off the train at Market St. Station. Go down steps to street turn to left, up Market Street to Mulberry St., then left on Mulberry to Elm Street, turn to left on Elm, walk one quarter of block to Columbia Street, turn to left a corner and No. 78 Columbia St. is where you will be able to find the Alexandria boys.

Please tell me the Negro population of the United States in 1900. If space permits, please give me this information in detail. E. W. A. The ten counties in the United States having the largest Negro population in 1900 were, in percentages, Isaquena, Miss., 94.0; Texas, La., 93.5; Madison, La., 92.7: East Carroll, La., 91.6; Beaufort, S. C., 90.5; Tunica, Miss., 90.5; Washington, Miss., 89.7; Coahoma, Miss., 88.2; Leflore, Miss., 88.2; Bolivar, Miss., 88.1. The Negro population of cities having the largest number of Negroes in 1900 was: Washington, D. C., 86,762; Baltimore, Md., 79,258; New Orleans, La., 77,714; Philadelphia, Pa., 62,613; New York City, 60,666; Memphis, Tenn., 49,910; Louisville, Ky., 39,139; Atlanta, Ga., 35,727; St. Louis, Mo., 35,516; Richmond, Va., 32,230; Charleston, S. C., 31,522; Chicago, Ill., 30,150; Nashville, Tenn., 30,044; Savannah, Ga., 28,090. More than three-fourths (77.3 per cent) of the Negroes lived in the country districts. There were 3,992,337 Negroes in continental United States engaged in gainful occupations. The proportion of Negro children to Negro women 15 to 49 years of age was largest in 1880 and smallest in 1900. There has been uniformly a larger proportion of Negro children than of white children. That difference more than doubled between 1860 and 1880, but in 1900 it was less than half what it was in 1880 and less than at any other census except 1860. Though the Negroes had a larger proportion of children than the whites, it was noticed that the whites of the South had a larger proportion than the whites in other sections of the country. At the two censuses preceding the Civil War, the proportion of children for the two races in the South was substantially the same. The immediate effect of the Civil War and Reconstruction, if the figures of 1870 may be trusted to that extent, was to reduce the proportion of children among Souhern whites by about one-eighth, and among Negroes one twenty-fifth. The following decade saw an increase in the proportion for each race, but as the decrease among the Negroes, 1860 to 1870, has been less, so was the increase, 1870 to 1880, greater. But between 1880 and 1900 there was a decrease of 160 in the number of Negro children in the South to 1,000 Negro women, and a decrease of 75 white children to 1,000 white women. As a result, in 1900 there were for the first time more white children than Negro children in the South. What is a "nigger" anyhow? DO YOU DO YOUR SHARE? Have you ever noticed a friend of yours shrug his shoulders when mother or father tells him or asks him to do some task? Do you pout, frown, or act meanly when your parents ask you to do something? If so—do you realize that any task you are asked to perform is for your benefit in a large degree? Suppose mother says, "Wash the dishes" or "Bring in a hod of coal"; isn't it true that you dirtied some of the dishes and if "you" fail to wash them someone else will have to do it. If you are being warmed by the fire or if you are eating the food cooked over the fire, isn't a duty to yourself and for yourself, more than a favor to mother, to bring in a bit of coal? Learn to do. Learn to earn the things you enjoy. Have you noticed a certain class of boys, youths, and men, who live on the corners—who are always without money—who have no homes—who know not where the next meal is coming from? Those frail, weak make-shifts of humanity started life by not wanting to help earn their enjoyments. They frowned and pouted when mother wanted a task done. It grew into them with age, and now when they should be doing tasks for themselves—thinking of owning homes, or having businesses that will care for them in their old age—these failures turn out to be bent, broken people depending on relatives, friends, or the community for support. Next time mother or father asks you to do a task, stop what you may be doing and perform the task at once; for in so doing you will cause a song to rise in the hearts of your parents, you will be helping to earn your living, and you will be keeping God's fifth commandment. If at first I don't succeed, I'll try, try again. 7 BISHOP RICHARD ALLEN In 1787 Richard Allen started an independent Methodist church. He was the founder and first Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Born a slave in Philadelphia, February 14, 1760, Richard Allen purchased his freedom and became an itinerant Methodist preacher. During all this time he worked as a common laborer or at whatever came to hand. During the Revolutionary War he was employed as a teamster, hauling salt. Allen, with many other Negroes, was a member of St. George's Meth. Episc. Church in Philadelphia. A movement began to force the Negroes into the galleries. When on a Sunday morning, an attempt was made to move Allen and Absalom Jones to the gallery, the colored portion of the congregation rebelled, and on April 17, 1787, under the leadership of Allen and Jones, formed the Free African Society. This Society "formed without regard to religious tenets," and "in order to support one another in sickness and for the benefit of their widows and fatherless children," prepared the way for the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. In September of 1787, Allen, with a few followers, started an independent Methodist Church. The congregation worshipped first in a blacksmith shop at Sixth and Lombard Streets. In 1794 Bethel Church was erected. 1816, Allen was ordained the first bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Allen died March 26, 1831. —Negro Year Book A COMMUNICATION Mr. C. Leslie Frazizer: Editor, Children's Page, Washington Tribune. Dear Sir: Your "Children's Page" in the Washington Tribune, is to me, (a lover of children and interested in their future) a most inspiring contribution for the future betterment of the race. Though each of my children are above the age of thirteen (I am the proud father of three very ambitious Southern girls) I send them every week the "Children's Page" of the Tribune, because I am sure that the information they get in regards to the race from that page is worth while and they have written me that they appreciate it very much. It is my intention to add them to the school colony of Washington by next fall. I am, believe me, yours for children, JOHN S. AGENOR, 1910 15th St., N.W. PHOTOGRAPHS Get out your cameras.

DEMANDS FOR JUSTICE The Republican Party has failed. This Republican Administration has failed miserably. The economic and political condition of the Negro in these United States is growing from bad to worse. Nothing is being done and less being proposed for his betterment, his advancement, his co-operation. Thru all of the ills that afflict the Negro and in all of his pleas for self-assertion, Justice is the cry, Justice is the demand and Justice will bring wonderful relief. will be a booica as well, the citizens fitted, that c extent. De regarding b and the acqu property are more than ing to drive of Texas, a Freestone They have h them enjoy Justice in the protection of life would make the sworn officers of the state and national governments more alert in the honest discharge of their duties. It would give impetus to the Department of Justice, and the 14th Amendment to the Constitution would be enforced, protecting life. Justice in the enforcement of the laws already on the statute books for the protection of life would eliminate the need of a Dyer bill. Enforce the laws justly and America will become in truth the land of the free and the home of the brave. Justice in the security of property PRESIDENT HARDING (Continued from page 1) United States. It will be the greatest political injustice of the times if we are to contemplate a situation under which the brave colored men of the South took such valiant part in the winning of the war and return to conditions under which they are denied the right of franchise at home. Very truly yours, (signed) W. G. HARDING This letter which was written before the campaign for the presidency was started, fits in nicely with the later sayings of Mr. Harding to the various delegations that called on him and the impression he gave the men on the stump. This impression was carried thru until election day in November. Then, after all the ballots had been counted, and the then President-Elect went to southern Texas for a vacation, it was apparently the beginning of the end of the Negro's hopes. Mr. Daugherty who was the President's closest adviser, was fully aware of the many sattements made to the various delegations. In view of everything that had been said and done up to the inauguration in March, the Negro still held high hopes for big things. He expected the segregation signs to disappear in all the departments here, he expected competent Negro men to hold offices and strong law enforcement in the South and other things. However, notwithstanding all that had been said, the man inaugurated President March 4th last year, and the man who solicited votes ten months previously, have turned out to be two entirely different characters. As president, Harding has blasted every hope the Negro ever had in his administration. The President Harding that stood in the heart of Dixie at Birmingham and told of fundamental and inescapable differences between the races, was not the same Harding who, as candidate for the Presidency, stood on the famous front porch at Marion, Ohio, and told of the many things he would do for the Negro if he elected. The President Harding who refused to appoint Negroes to office in the South as well as the North, was not the same Senator Harding writing to Joseph C. Manning, in June 1919, telling of the undemocratic principles of the Wilson administration and stating it would be the greatest political injustice of the times if we are to contemplate a situation under which the brave colored men of the South return to conditions under which they are denied the right of franchise at home. The reason the President has for neglecting these people now, when as Senator, he thought it such a grave injustice, is what the Negro people of America would like to know. What has made the Negro of today different from the Negro of 1919? Has the Negro changed or has the President changed? If the President has changed and we have every reason to believe he has, was this change voluntary on his part or was he influenced by supposed political leaders in Virginia, Georgia, and Texas? will be a boon to the Negro and America as well, for when ten per cent of the citizens of any country are benefited, that country is benefited to that extent. Deal justly with the Negro regarding his property in the South and the acquisition and maintenance of property and the South will bloom more than ever, as a rose. Stop trying to drive them out of the oil fields of Texas, as was recently the case in Freestone and Limestone counties. They have lived there long enough, let them enjoy the increased value of their land and the excellent income thereof. They have earned it. We Negroes, as American citizens, ask for no special legislation, nor for any special opportunities, we only ask for Justice as free American citizens and this great, supposedly democratic Government can not afford to grant us less. Every ideal for which this nation stands and for which our fathers fought, sustains our plea for the exercise of Justice; simple, democratic Justice. What are you going to do about it Mr. President? Mr. Secretary of the Department of Justice? What the Negroes would like to know is who was the genius behind the front porch speech in Marion, Ohio, and who was the genius behind the Birmingham, Ala., speech. The two speeches are so different that it is impossible to believe that it is the same person in both speeches. These questions the Republican party must answer. The progressive Negroes of today demand it. JAMES HOWARD ELECTED PRESIDENT (Continued from page 1) his physical ability to give the time and attention that the bank required. The action of the Board of Directors has met the unanimous approval of the stockholders and depositors, and the future success of the bank is assured under the guidance of Mr. Howard, who from the day the doors of the bank were opened some fifteen months ago, has labored industriously to make this institution the outstanding success it is today. Mr. Howard is well known in the community for his rugged honesty, his untiring energy and ability to do things worth while. Dr. T. C. Smith and J. Finley Wilson, were added to the Board of Directors. The bank now has between seven and eight hundred depositors, and is in full possession of the building at 14th and T Sts., N.W. A campaign will be put on in September to increase the capital stock to $100,000 in compliance with the recent ruling of the Comptroller of the Treasury. Mr. Walter R. Reynolds, the cashier was elected secretary to succeed Mr. Howard. The Union Laborers Realty Department, has been reorganized and incorporated and will have its offices in the bank building as will the Culver Budget System, which is a decided adjunct to the Bank. This unique savings system offering the public an opportunity to save for their own needs with its Christmas Savings Fund, which is open the year round, is growing rapidly as the people more fully understand its advantages. Mr. Jas H. W. Howard is Trustee of this fund and Mr. S. H. Rose, Manager. SUSPENDED POLICEMAN BEAT GIRL LAST YEAR Policeman E. C. Spaulding of the fifth precinct, who along with policeman Bremmerman of the second precinct, was suspended from the force Wednesday after serious charges of brutality had been lodged against them by a white man, is the same officer Spaulding who last June beat up Miss Novella Johnson, age 17, at the corner of Fairmont Street and Georgia Ave. After beating up the young girl, Spaulding then arrested her and charged her with assault on an officer: Atty. Hughes was retained by her and he filed charges against Spaulding, but for some unknown reason the trial never came up for a hearing and is still pending on the court records. Now however, that Spaulding as attacked a white Canadian, it seems that at last someone has been successful in hauling him into court where he can be tried for his brutality. Mrs. I. N. Ross, Founder and Honorary President; Mrs. Fannie B. Norman, Mrs. Susie Fountaine, Mrs. Aquila Sayles, Mrs. Annie Dorsey, Mrs. S. J. Janifer, Mrs. Rebecca Williams, Miss Mary E. Wilson, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton Mrs. Marion D. Butler Miss The beating up of people by policemen seems as though it is becoming an epidemic here. One doctor reported to The Tribune that he had sewed up the wounds of three men last week who were beaten up by policemen. He remembered the name of one but did not get his first name; the last name was Kelley and he lived at 213 G St., N.W. This evidently occurred in the sixth precinct. A number of policemen have been scored by the judges, for their brutality, but the practice seems to continue. BOY SCOUT CAMP July 23rd will mark the opening of "Camp Jollity," Boy Scout Camp at Glenarden, Maryland. The camp will run for six weeks, closing about August 26th. Charles A. Marshall, Deputy Scout Commissioner for Colored boys in the District of Columbia is making final arrangements to have every registered Scout attend the camp. The camp will accommodate sixty boys, many of whom will remain during the entire coming season. Announcement is made by the Boy Scout Department, National Catholic Welfare Council, that Boy Scouts from the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and from St. Cyprian Church will attend the camp during the latter part of July and the first of August. Alphonsus Edelin, Scoutmaster for Troops at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, Francis Greenfield and Charles Billings, in charge of St. Cyprian's Boys will attend the camp with their scouts. Mr. Leon Eskridge of St. Augustine's Troop Committee is Sanitary Officer for the camp. Forty small cots were presented by Rev. Walter Reed, Chaplain of St. Cyprian's Troops. It is expected the Scouts of St. Augustine's Church will visit the camp during the latter part of August. Arrangements are now being completed whereby Mass will be celebrated in camp each Sunday during the camping season. Local priests will be invited to visit the camp and to say Mass for the Scouts of the Catholic faith. This is being done in keeping with a recent regulation issued by National Headquarters, Boy Scouts of America. A rustic chapel is being built for this purpose. BUTLER BROTHERS GARAGE BOUGHT BY JOHN W. LEWIS Final disposition of Butler Brothers' garage, on 8th Street near Florida Avenue, was made Thursday afternoon, when John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, bought in the garage at auction for $40,000.00. Last April the Revenue division of the Treasury, confiscated this garage for income and other taxes, claimed to be due the Government amounting to $24,083.41. Butler Brothers objected to the confiscation and took their case to the courts and it was declared, by the court, that the Treasury Department could not legally confiscate this property on its plea of failure to pay taxes said to be due from them. Since the Government had confiscated the property it became necessary to sell it at public auction, in order to clear up the title. There are two trusts, amounting to $30,500, on the property. The lot is 34x112 feet. The building is a two-story brick, modern in every respect. There are about 18,000 square feet of floor space. It was designed and built by colored mechanics and will house about 200 automobiles.
