Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune NO COLORED TROOPS SENT FOR STRIKE DUTY NEWS DISPATCHES IN DAILY PAPERS PROVED TO BE MIS-STATEMENT All the News That's Fit to Print NO COL NEWS DISPATCH DAILY PAPE TO BE I War Dept. and Commanding Officer in South Denies Troops Sent REPORT WIDELY CIRCULATED Department Does Not Contemplate Utilizing Colored Troops A news dispatch from Waco, Texas, under date of July 23, was printed in several daily papers, stating that "two carloads of colored federal soldiers passed thru Waco, enroute to Fort Worth, to guard the Texas and Pacific railroad shops." Arthur Brisbane commented on the matter in his famous "Today" editorials in the Hurst papers on July 25. A Tribune representative called at the War Department to verify the dispatch and to find out from what organization they came. An official stated that no orders had been issued for colored troops to do guard duty in Texas nor would there be orders to that effect. He said the dispatch had been shown him but he knew nothing of the affair. "It is possible," he said, "that the commander of the Southern Department, might have sent colored troops out for maneuvers. We do not know of that." The Tribune wired the Commander of the Southern Department, at Fort Sam Houston, Texas for information concerning the movement of these colored troops as stated in the dispatch from Waco. The following telegram from Major General Hines, Commander of the Southern Department states: "Reference your wire this date, (July 26) no colored troops have been moved. Report unfounded." Therefore, The Tribune can state with authority that colored troops are not being used in Texas, to do guard duty in the railroad strike. HOWARD R. O. T. C. GREAT SUCCESS The only advanced Reserved Officers Training Corps unit among colored schools, came to a very successful close last Monday night at Camp Meade, Md., with fitting ceremonies and celebration. The closing exercises were marked by a dinner and smoker given the officers by the men. Many pleasant remarks and tributes were paid the students by the officers in charge and the men in turn praised the officers for their part in making their stay so pleasant. The record made by the Howard students this year, places the institution in a very favorable light and paves the way for a much larger camp next year. Brigadier General Martin, the commanding officer of Camp Meade training Center, presented six men commissions as second lieutenants in the National Reserves. Those receiving the commissions were: Walter A. Adams, Des Moines, Iowa; Robert L. Pollard, Houston, Texas; Robert J. Madison, Mobile, Ala.; Samuel R. Cheevers, Albany, Ga.; Julian J. Evans, Washington, D. C., and Arthur W. Ferguson, Richmond, Va. On the rifle range Albert Joseph Holmes, Baltimore, Md., classified as Expert Rifleman, Arthur W. Ferguson, Richmond, Va., as Sharpshooter, and fifteen others classified as Marks men. ORED TR HES IN RS PROVED MIS-STATEMENT CHURCH CASE MAY COME UP SOON According to Attorney Thos. L. Jones, the case of the Florida Ave. Baptist Church may soon be reported to Justice Bailey. Attorney Jones stated that the long delay was caused to allow the time necessary for the District Auditor to complete his report. Then after the report was completed, Justice Bailey left on his vacation and has remained away over two weeks longer than at first announced. Final action in the case is expected soon after Justice Bailey returns. ATT'Y WATERS ATTACKS ALADDIN REALTY COMPANY Says Scheme is Revival of Old Shell Game of Years Ago NEWSPAPERS RENDER SERVICE People Must Beware Lest They Get Burnt by Dealers Attorney James C. Waters, Jr., who is the attorney for Mrs. Butler, whose letter was published in The Tribune a short time ago, writes The Tribune a letter this week which is herewith published: Wash., D. C. July 23, 1922. To the Editor: I ask permission to acknowledge my part of the debt under which The Tribune, The Washington American and The Baltimore Afro-American have laid our people for publishing Mrs. Nannie Butler's letter of June 27th, tearing the mask off the Aladdin Realty and Home Builders Corporation whose free-lots-to-colored-people scheme is about the fairest rival of the ancient shell game that has recently come to light. Yours was an act of courage and genuine public service. In the corporation's denial published in your issue of July 15th, it is said that "Mrs. Nannie Butler was discharged from our service due to the fact that she did not devote her time for such service she was paid for." As attorney for Mrs. Butler, I say to your readers that Mrs. Butler was not discharged for any such reason, and the Aladdin Corporation knows it. In her letter of June 27th, Mrs. Butler told exactly why she was discharged, and that was the truth; and what is more she says the corporation still owes her in part for her services. The New York World of July 16th in a warning to white people to "beware of the summer real estate swindler," quotes S. W. Straus & Co., building loan mortgage bond operators, in respect of a scheme up in New Jersey which is described almost word for word as the Aladdin scheme is described in Mrs. Butler's letter, except that the whites in New Jersey are to pay from $39 to $49 for "free lots," while the Negroes in Maryland and the District of Columbia having less money and more ignorance, their free doings must go at $69 a throw. I hold no brief against white men, simply because they are white, who want either to sell or give away lots to WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 LEE MAJOR ANDERSON RETURNS HOME FROM LIBERIA Made Splendid Record as Head of Frontier Forces ALL NATIVE WARS ENDED Given Highest Reward Little Republic Can Bestow On Anyone Major John H. Anderson, who for five years was head of the Liberian Frontier Force, has returned to this country for a vacation. Major Anderson returned to America via. Hamburg, Germany and brings with him many interesting stories of African life and traditions, as well as of the commercial and political development of Liberia. While in Liberia, Major Anderson received every known medal and certificate given by the Liberian government for services rendered. Major Anderson is a soldier of many years of experience, having joined the regular army in the late eighties. He was retired under the army ruling in 1917. During his enlistment, he saw service all over the world, and came out of the army with a perfect record. He is brother of the late Henry S. Anderson of Chicago, Ill., who died in December 1921. During the period of Major Anderson's service in Liberia, he quelled every disturbance, and many that had been menacing the government for years. The largest disturbance he was called to quell, was that of the natives in the southern part of the country, in the district called Cape Palmas. For his work in his section, the Liberian Government gave him the distinguished Service Medal and Certificate. Before leaving Liberia, Major Anderson was given the thanks of the Liberian Legislature, Medal and Certificate, Knight Commander of African Redemption and other personal rewards. A full account of Major Anderson's experiences in Liberia and the possibilities of the country will soon appear in this paper. colored people. I do feel, however, that when those of us who have had the advantages of special training see the less favored members of the race being brazenly exploited for the enrichment of a certain type of white man, it is our duty to do just what Mrs. Butler and the New York World did and warn the people to beware lest they get burnt beyond hope of a JAMES C.

N.W Eleven Year Old Girl Victim of Brutual Attack By White Man FRYE SENTENGED FOR LIFE NOTES AN APPEAL James Alphonso Frye, who was convicted of the murder of Dr. Robert W. Brown, on the night of November 27, 1920, was sentenced to life imprisonment, Friday morning by Justice McCoy. The attorneys for Frye announced that they would take an appeal. LITTLE PROGRESS MADE ON THE BATHING BEACH LITTLE PROGRESS MADE ON THE BATHING BEACH Wilson Hold-over Not Accustomed to Making Negro Beaches PERSONALLY SELECTS SITE Republicans Seek to Promote Him for His Services Another summer has come and will soon be gone without public bathing facilities for one fourth of the District's population. The officer in charge of buildings and grounds, C. O. Sherrill has autocratically decided that the Negroes of Washington shall have a bathing beach, next year sometime, but not now. The officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, who is a North Carolina appointee of former President Wilson, and a "hold over" by President Harding, has also autocratically decided that the bathing beach for colored people shall be on Columbia Island, located somewhere in the Potomac River. 'Somewhere' is correct for there is no direct connections, either by automobile, street car or bridge, with the said Columbia Island. Some nice place to locate a public utility. Brazos Bottoms in Texas would not be much more inconvenient than this Columbia Island, somewhere in the Potomac. An inquiry Wednesday at the office of Lt. Col. Sherrill elucidated the information that the plans were being drawn for a beach for the Negroes of Washington. Just when they would be finished and the actual constructive work on the Jim Crow beach would begin could not be learned. Col. Sherrill is not accustomed to Negroes having a bathing beach in North Carolina and apparently is not in a hurry to see the Negroes of Washington enjoying such luxuries. At the present rate the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds is exerting himself, it will take months to finish attending to the plans. Senator Wadsworth, of New York has introduced a bill to raise Sherrill to the rank of Colonel. He is the President's military aid. ASKS PASTOR TO RESIGN According to rumors, Rev. W. M. C. Lean, who succeeded Rev. Thomas Hall of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, on Kalaramora Road, between 17th and 18th Streets, N. W., has been requested to resign by some officers and members of the church. The cause of the trouble was not disclosed. R STRIK ar Old Girl ttack By Clarence DeViele Proves Himself Real Estate Man Started Out in Life With Many Handicaps and No Prospects HAS LARGE QUARTERS From Small Beginning His Business Has Grown Wonderfully About a year ago Clarence M. DeViele moved into his new office at 1837 Seventh Street, Northwest. Since then his real estate business has flourished beyond his most sanguine expectation. Mr. DeViele was left an orphan and had to make his own way thru school and into business. This experience taught him perseverance, patience and frugality. With these characteristics, he has succeeded in going thru school, studying law and building up quite a large and lucrative real estate business. Mr. DeViele has a well appointed and completely equipped office on Seventh Street, owning the building in which it is located. In addition to this office building, which is one of the finest in the city, he has a number of houses which he owns outright and a large number listed with him for sale and for rent. The business for the first year since he has been at his present location amounted to $300,000.00. "How did you enter the real estate business?" was asked Mr. DeViele. "I had just $0.00 which I had saved while working with Mr. Thomas Walker. I decided that I would enter business for myself. I had been with Mr. Walker for about seven years and had learned the business as well as I that I could under another man. I made a deposit of $50.00 on a house with a promise to pay $500.00 in 15 days. I borrowed this amount from a friend and secured the house. I had it painted and sold it for $1,200 more than I paid for it, receiving a thousand dollars on the house. This gave me an incentive and put me in the running and I have been running fairly well for the past ten years." With the determination to succeed, Mr. DeViele has outred poverty, overcome handicaps and built up a business for himself that is a credit to him and the race.

Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS E DUTY I Victim of White Man White Daily Refused to Pub- lish Account of the Affair MAN HELD FOR GRAND JURY Atty. Chas. S. Hill Takes Case and Will Push it Through While the white press of Washington and the country at large were searching for alleged Negroes whom they claimed had raped some white woman or child, a white man in southwest Washington committee a most brutal crime on a little colored girl, and the same white papers with all their news gathering associations and agencies, failed to discover it. Upon noticing the failure of the white press, who heretofore have always featured such crimes when they were alleged to have been committed by colored men, the father of the little girl went to the office of one of the white dailies here and told of the incident and he was informed that the paper did not print such news. However, later the father learned of The Tribune and came to The Tribune office and reported the incident where he received advice as to what he should do in the matter. The reported crime occurred on May 29th at 126 Q St., S. W. The little girl who was the victim was Mary Colvin, 11 years of age, who lived at 132 Q St., S. W. The white man who it is alleged committed the crime was Robert C. Garnett. According to the little girl's father, Garnett asked that little Mary be permitted to come over to his house that he was feeling ill and he wanted her to assist him in some work. The child was permitted to go and it was then that the crime is alleged to have been committed. Garnett was arrested and in the police court was bound over to the grand jury and permitted to give $2,000 bond. The case came before the grand jury on June 29th and arguments were made, but up to the present time, no indictments have been returned. When the father called at the assistant district attorney's office, he was told that the grand jury was trying to get all the jail cases out first. However since this case was heard the grand jury it is claimed, has returned two indictments against colored men on charges of similar offenses. Attorney Charles S. Hill has been placed in charge of the case and he intends to push it to the limit. According to the father's statements, the little girl has practically been injured for life. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ELECT OFFICERS The twelfth annual session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, which was a most harmonious and successful one, has just been held in the Pythian Temple, 12th and You Streets, N.W.

We sometimes hear some person remark that the Negro always seem happy regardless of surroundings and express wonder as to how it ean be. Of course, the Negro is not always happy by any means, but this natural avenue or a channel of expression of his every emotion is in song and music. One cannot argue that the Negro is so constituted that he does not come under the spell of sorrow or depression. He does, just as does the white man. Go to the death cell in any of our penal institutions and you will find Negroes who are under sentence of death singing and praying, and they sing through floods of tears. Go to the grave of some de- parted loved one and you will hear even heart-broken mothers singing songs of hope, and findings comfort in that all-powerful thing we call music. The Negro is full of rhythm. He walks by it, works by it, weeps by it, and rejoices by it. Singing in his life tonie and he allows no condition of circumstance to beat him out of its joys or its comforts.

In the South am, sorry to say, but few white teachers are will- ing to help the Negro in his efforts to ‘gain a musical education, and those Negroes who are financially able to go to northern nd eastern schools for their study. Others who are not able to do that simply have to dig it ‘out of books with the little help they pick up here and there and with the help of Negro teachers who have had advantage in the north and east. In ‘spite of these handicaps, however, the ‘Negro people are making wonderful progress in the study of music. Indeed, ‘some of them rank favorably with any ‘of our white teachers, we owe the Ne- gro people all the help we can render them just as we owe all mankind a debt. We do not live to ourselves. We only live by helping others to live and the Negro people are our people. They ‘are of the South and,belong to the Southland. We as the dominant race ‘owe it to them to help and encourage ‘them all we can. —The Musical Advocate and Peter defeated every man he met. Peter Jackson played Uncle Tom ir one of the many “Tom” (Uncle Tom’s Cabin) Shows, then travelling about the country and critics of that time said he was a very good actor. Like Alexander The Great, Jackson sought new worlds to conquer. In 1800 he went to England where he met and defeated Jem Smith. Failing to secure other matches he returned to the States in 1891. During that year he was matched to fight Jas. J. Corbett. They met and fought May 21,1891 at the California, A.C. This was the greatest fight Jackson ever put up, during the latter part of which he suffered severe pair with an injured ankle. A detailed ac- count of the fight would be too long so it will be dealt with in another ar- ticle. = During the next year Peter had ‘three fights, the one with Frank Sla- vin was the most important.

THEATRES AMUSEMENTS SPORTS THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 4 SPORTS Upon the solicitation of some of the managers of the Junior Baseball teams in the District, The Washington Tribune has decided to stage a Junior Championship series. The junior teams have all made wonderful records this year. There are about 10 junior clubs, with the age limit at 17. So far as organization is concerned, many of these teams are much better organized than the senior teams, and the prospects for a corking good series are very bright. THE GLADIATORS DEFEAT NAVAL REC. STA. On last Sunday in a thrilling and well played game, the Gladiator A. C. defeated the Naval Receiving Station by a score of 3 to 0. We hope to complete all arrangements for the Junior Series within the next two weeks at least and if possible, start the series about the first Saturday in August. All teams coming within the age requirements for junior teams are eligible to enter. The age requirements for junior teams in this series will be, no player under 12 years of age and no player over 17 years of age. Therefore, all teams coming within this age limit can file application to enter the series. The game was a well deserved victory for Wood of the Gladiators who allowed but one hit. Only two men of the Rec. Sta. reached second base and not one got as far as third. The Tribune will contribute 2 prizes for the series There will be no charges of any kind levied on the teams entering the series. The only stipulation will be that all teams furnish their own equipment and necessary balls. Owing to the fact that there are more than 88 teams in the District, it is necessary for those teams deiring to enter to file their applications at once, because those listed first will be given first consideration. A meeting will be called at an early date after the teams have been entered so all rules and other arrangements can be worked out. Remember boys don't delay, but file your application at once. The Gladiator A. C. is composed of the men who formerly represented The Holy Name Guild in Athletics. These men together with some others are out to give any team in this vicinity a fight for victory. On next Sunday they will battle the crack Huntsville nine on The Monument Grounds at one o'clock. APPLICATION BLANK FOR THE JUNIOR BASE BALL SERIES TO BE HELD UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE TIGERS AND ST. CS SPLIT DOUBLE BILL The LeDroit Tigers and St. Cyprians divided a double header before a small crowd at Union League park Sunday, the Catholics copping the first game 7 to 3 and dropping the second a five-inning affair by the same score. "Fox" Barnes was invincible in the initial game allowing but 3 hits. He struck out 9 and but for erratic work behind him, would have shut the Tigers out. "Reds" Johnson was touched up for five hits and three run in the third and was relieved by Adams who fared little better. Campbell's timely clouting was a feature. "Lefty" Smith had the Saints at his mercy in all but one inning in the nightcap, while Lucas who started for the St. C's lasted but one inning, Parker relieved him and proved fairly effective. The game was called at the end of the fifth on account of darkness. St. Cyprians R. H. E. Bush, ss 0 0 0 C. Harris, cf 0 1 1 T.

Once "THE LIFE" PERSONALLY SUPERVISED BY THOMAS H. INCE AN ASSOCIATED PRODUCERS PRODUCTION MORE ABOUT THE PREPS AND CUBS The manager of the St. Cyprians Cubs writes in to say that "The Georgetown Preps kicked against the size of the players when they were defeated by the Cubs about two weeks ago. When they defeated the Peerless Club, they did not kick; the Peerless boys were a lot larger than the Preps, but the Preps won by a large score. If they had beaten the Cubs they would not have kicked." What about this, Georgetown? Will the Tribune have to intervene and settle this argument for you boys? ANOTHER SIDE OF THE AFFAIR Everett Wooden, business manager of the Georgetown Preps sends in a complaint against the St. Cyprian Cubs. He charges that the Cubs will not play games away from their home grounds. Mr. Wooden further challenges the Cubs, to play fair and meet his team in a return on their grounds at 37th and R Streets, N. W. The sporting editor of The Tribune would like to see these two popular teams settle their differences and hope they will do it in a sportsmanlike way. DAREDEVILS CONTINUE TO WIN The 12th Street Daredevils increased their string of victories this week by defeating the fast Champlain A. C. 13 to 9. Airtight pitching by S. Dougherty, who relieved Tecumseh Dougherty in the first inning saved the day. He allowed but five hits in the eight innings. L. Woodson and T. Dougherty made five hits each. ORIENTALS IN BIG GAME SUNDAY What promises to be one of the best games of the season will be played Sunday at the Union League Park at 15th and H Streets, N. E., between the Oriental Tigers and the Peerless A. C. (white). Both teams have been going at a fast clip this season and a hard fought game is assured. DEANWOOD DEFEATS STONEWALL TIGERS The Deanwood Athletics defeated the Stonewall Tigers Saturday July 22 at Union League park by the score of 17 to 3. The Deanwood batters hit hard and played a jam up game. The Stonewalls were unable to do much with Deanwood's pitchers. Brooks started the game for Deanwood but was rather wild; Green who relieved him pitched brilliantly the remainder of the game. One of the greatest catches ever made in baseball was made by the Tiger's rightfielder. Saturday July 15th the game between the Lafayettes of Alexandria and Deanwood which was published as a 4 to 4 game was an error; the score was Deanwood 6, Lafayettes 4. DEANWOOD DEFEATS PIEDMONT The Deanwood Athletics on their home grounds last Sunday before 800 fans, defeated the fast traveling Piedmonts in a ten inning game 4 to 8. This game was tight and exciting all the way through. Robertson a recruit worked nicely until the 6th inning when he became wild and Captain Green was called by the manager to check the rally; it was then a battle between Green and Bland. Sensational fielding wasa feature. SHRDLUS al fielding by the Barber brothers and Watkins brothers were features. T. Howard at second played fine and the catching of Lee who caught was excellent. Seaton seems to be developing into a Babe Ruth. Deanwood will play at American League Park, August 9th with the St. Cyprians as their opponents. Deanwood is looking for a games with some fast team for Sunday at D. A. C. home grounds. Any team desiring this game get in touch with manager Barber. BROOKLAND GIANTS DEFEAT ALEXANDRIA ALL-STARS. THE Brookland Giants journeyed to Alexandria last Sunday and defeated the fast Alexandria All-Stars, 14 to 5. G. Tillman of the Giants held the Stars to 3 hits in seven innings. Tucker who relieved Tillman in the seventh struck out six of the eight men who faced him. A home run by Pat Reynolds and the heavy hitting of the entire Giants team was a feature. The Giants have some open dates for games with any fast team in or near Washington. Consult Tribune's Directory for address. They will play the Capital City Giants, August 6th. The absence of Manager Byrd from the ranks of the All-Stars was plainly noticeable. The infielding of Rose at second and Felton in short spelled doom to the All-Stars. Rose removed pitchers Bill Johnson and Dobby Johnson. The latter's pitching would have retarded such a defeat had he received proper support from the infield. The Giants soon discovered the weak points of the All-Stars and made good use of it. Mike Richardson looked well in an All-Star uniform and played superior ball at first. From a statement made by Thomas (Count) Jones, he expects to be in an All-Star center at an early date. In the seventh, Craig sent out a homer which tallied three runs. Weakey Jackson played good center for the Alexandrians. EASTERN GIANTS WIN TWO The Eastern Giants won a double header Sunday July 23rd at 17th and B Sts., N. E., when they defeated the Black Diamonds 9 to 0 and the Diamond K team, 15 to 11. Lefty Joe Smith pitched the first game and allowed but 2 hits; only two men reached 3rd base. Daniel Johnson the Eastern Giants short stop knocked a home run. William Crumpton starred for the Eastern Giants at 2nd base. Lefty Joe Smith holds the junior strike out record having 59 strike outs to his credit when he fanned eight Black Diamonds. Lemery Scott was a feature of the game making a shoe string catch in the fourth inning. "Slippery" Davis is a new addition to the Easterners line up and a 3rd baseman. EASTERN GIANTS LOSE The Eastern Giants lost their third game of the season when the Parker A. C. defeated them 7 to 3 in a 5 inning game at 19th and Gales Streets. Middleton started for the Easterners, and was relieved by Moore. Lefty Joe Smith was then rushed to the box, but the damage was done. Smith ended the Parker A. C.'s rally by fanning two. ALEXANDRIANS DEFEAT "Y" JUNIORS The Junior baseball team of the "Y" was the guest of Mr. Dolphin and the Alexandria boys on Monday. The Alexandria boys had a real snappy team and took the Washington "Y" boys by storm. The score 13 to 4 in fvor of the Alexandria youngsters. DEANWOOD BLACK SOXS WANT GAME The Deanwood Black Sox, Deanwood's fast junior nine wishes games with all junior nines and some second class senior nines. For games write to John W. Smith, Jr., 4411 Lane Pl, Deanwood, D. C. The Black Sox will cross bats with the St. Cyprian Cubs Saturday July 29th at 84th and Dean Ave., N. E. Games starts at 4 p.m. JAMES CARROLL ELECTED MAN- AGER OF ATHLETICS At a recent meeting of the Georgetown Athletics, James Carroll, one of their star players, was elected team manager to succeed C. R. Parrot. The team has been in a slump because most of their star players left to join big time teams in other cities. However, sufficient players remain to build up a good team, and it is to this end that Mr. Carroll will direct his attention Manager Carroll is one of the smartest players playing in the District, and with his knowledge of the game, should have a very successful regime. The Athletics will play the fast Asbury's this Sunday, July 30th at 37th and R Sts., N. W. The game will be called at 1:30 P. M. All teams desiring games with the Athletics will kindly write the manager. Consult Tribune directory for address. ALL-SARS DEFEAT CAPITAL CITY CUBS After going down in defeat before the Brookland Giants, the All-Stars faced the Capital City Cubs last Sunday evening on the Shipyard diamond.

Thomas Manager Both of these players took part in the previous game and fatigue on their part was visible. Rose placed Isaac Dudley on the second sack which position was held for the Cubs by Joe Dudley, Isaac's brother. Crowes, the short stop for the Cubs drew hisses by interfering with the playing of his third and second base men. Two former Alexandria boys play on the Cubs, they are Joe Dudley and Frank Johnson. The final score was 7 to 3. It is reported that the All-Stars are scheduled for a game Saturday and one Sunday. One with the Piedmonts and one with the LeDroit Tigers. After holding the heavy hitting Baltimore Black Sox in check for five innings "Lefty" 'Smith, star southpaw of the LeDroit weakened in the sixth and the visitors sewed up the first of a two game series at American League Park Thursday. Archer started for the Sox but was chased to the showers in the fourth inning when singles by Kenner, Smith, Lewis and Plummer netted 3 runs. Logan relieved him and held the Tigers scoreless for the remainder of the game. Jefferson relieved Smith in the seventh and after pitching 7 consecutive balls was derricked in favor of Adams who allowed but one run. DEPARTMENTAL NOTES On a protest, the game between the Bureau and Gen. Acets. of June 23rd was ordered played over from the last half of the first inning with two out and a man on third. This game was protested on the catcher's balk. (L. Barbour.) Ed Taylor proved a good lead-off man by working Punch for three passes to first.

CONVENIENT TO ANY AND ALL CAR LINES WELL VENTILATED WITH WINDOWS AND FANS Largest dancing floor space of any hall in the northwest DANCING SPACE 54x90 Rates: Reception, 8 to 12, $60 By Lewis Hillman 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) THE STORY SO FAR: Harrison Clay, a student of Tulgee University, is enthralled by the wise words of Prof. Grandstone, a philoprogenitive philosopher, when the latter asserts that within Harrison lies a great hidden power. Intending to give Harrison all the best educational advantages, Gordon Clay, his father, decides to withdraw his lifetime savings held in trust by his employer, James J. Wormley (white). Shortly after, Harrison rescues a fourteen-year-old white girl from drowning. After a momentary respite Harrison took the girl up the steep embankment to the bridge where perhaps a hundred men, women and children—mostly white—had congregated. A few minutes of careful work restored the unfortunate girl's respiration and Harrison arose to his feet when she opened her eyes. A half dozen men had roughly grabbed a colored youth, while epithets rent the air; someone produced a rope. About twenty children from ten to fifteen years, looked on dumbfounded. "What's taking place?" Harrison interrogated of one who appeared to be most active and vociferous. "This brute threw that girl into the river!" growled a group of huskies. "But, wait!" admonished Harrison whose tone drew ugly scowls from every direction. "Let the girl tell what happened. She's all right now!" Sound reason prevailed and the girl weakly narrated the facts. According to her story, the children present insisted upon the colored stranger to help them "Rescue the Princess." Reluctant toward joining a game he didn't understand, yet cognizant of compulsory requests in some sections of Dixie, the man finally consented, when it was explained to him that they must first abduct the "Princess"—a chosen girl. Then the "Plotters" would confine the little "Princess" in an elongated drygoods box, especially for that purpose, and convey her across the bridge a prisoner. Thereafter the "Rescue Party" would advance, stage a "pitched battle" with her "captors" and return the "Princess" to her "homeland." The Negro's part in the drama simply embraced the carrying of the "Princess" twice across the bridge—first a prisoner; next in tiumphant freedom. what Prof. G capable of doing Irish "Staffing her closely." "The profess years into the idea just what I see that uniform Tom became a War. After w "Princess" was literally stuffed into the box, and the man shouldered the human weight and began his journey. Cries of the "Princess," whose head and arms protruded from the top of the box, were mingled with the "raucous" shouts of her "captors." The stranger staggered on, occasionally shifting the weight to relieve certain muscles. Midway the bride te frantic efforts of the captive to escape resulted in the bottom of the box being kicked out; the "Princess" slipped out of her prison, over the railing and into the muddy waters of the river twenty feet below. The children were horror-stricken; and with one accord blamed the stranger. All seemed pleased and satisfied with the explanation; and immediately Harrison glanced over the water for a sign of Emily in the shell. The small boat and its occupant, drifting, was now below the bridge. "Give me that rope," he almost demanded, his eyes on the figure of Emily. She really was an experienced hand at the oars, he decided; and alayed his fears for her safety. In a minute he had tied one end of the rope to the iron railing and down the rope he slipped into the boat. "Everything here seems to be part of my existence," he told Emily after a lengthy pause. "Yet, I cannot remain here. I must leave, if I'm ever to realize my hopes and desires. Some day I hope to obtain a modest degree of success, wrought thro' my efforts alone. I want a chance in the world, Emily. I have none here." "But I must remain and grind out my lack-luster days in the land of small opportunity," remarked Emily resignedly. At Prof. Grandstone's home Harrison managed to see Emily's grandmother alone. "Prof. Grandstone has wonderful future-seeing powers, hasn't he?" began Harrison, sitting by the open kitchen door and endeavoring to assist her with paring some potatoes. "Go home and change those wet clothes, my child. You'll catch your death of cold," spoke Mrs. Grandstone severely. "I'll not so much as feel the effects of the ducking, granny. "I want you to give me a hint of architect to the painters—bricklayer, dancers, cement workers, steam fitter, the money spent in the erection of hands of Colored men. MURRAY CASINO MURRAY BROS.

He continued peeling Irish "Staff of Life" while watching her closely. "The professor always could see years into the future; but I have no idea just what he sees in you. Do you see that uniform hanging in the hall? Tom became a soldier in the Civil War. After we were freed, he was cited for bravery. Two years before the war he foresaw himself in battle." Vividly she described a battle in all its oldtime gallantry. "You need a broader view of life," she went on. "You come of good stock. Time will ripen your judgment; trust in God." Harrison hurried home, and had just put on dry clothing when he heard excited voices downstairs. He investigated and learned that Mrs. Whitcomb, a neighbor, was brokenly imploring help from his father. The unfortunate participant in the game at the high bridge was Mrs. Whitcomb's son; and for his innocent part in the affair had been lodged in jail. Finally Harrison's father went the boy's bond. A few days later the youth jumped his bond. Mr. Clay was then forced to mortgage his home to cover the bail. Close in the wake of this ill luck, Mr. Clay was more than astounded when he picked up his daily paper the following evening. His hands shook as with palsy. A groan escaped him, and instantly Harrison was at his side. "What is it, father?" queried the son, sweeping the page in a swift glance. "Nothing serious, I trust." Then he read to the old man the account of tragedy. James J. Wormley had dropped dead of heart failure in Cincinnati, while enroute to his home in the South! "Prof. Grandstone's philosophy regarding will power will stand you in good stead, even now, father." Weeks went by, disclosing that the heirs of the Wormley estate did not recognize any property claim in trust which was not on the records. So Mr. Clay lost his $5,220. This was a severe blow to a man past fifty.How could he ever recoup his loss? The material aspect of things shattered his hopes—hopes which had sustained him through years of silent suffering, self-denial and self-sacrifice. Yet, it was not of himself he thought; the years of struggle had been for the welfare of his boy. Intuitively Harrison felt the weight of his father's sorrow, and tried to dispel his gloom by picturing how he would succeed; nay, shall succeed in spite of misfortunate.

Do you the hall? the Civil d, he was be visioned future years of happiness for them both thro' his own success. These affectionate assurances stirred his parent's pride and the elder man became fonder of his boy each day. One evening after dinner Mr. Clay seemed a little more cheerful and talkative than his reverses warranted; so Harrison lingered after the evening meal. "My boy!" began the elder Clay, sinking in the one great rocking chair of the living room which appeared conspicuous by the plain stark furnishings. A meager library cabinet showed years of wear and tear in profound literature. A small rug with threatbare spots seemed shrunk in the center of the room, while the walls held life-sized pictures of the family ancestors, Lincoln and Frederick Douglas. Mr. Clay lit his pipe reminiscently, and Harrison selected one of a trio of straight-back chairs. "Although ours is a humble sphere of life," asserted the father "If you have much to be proud of. If ancestry means anything, you have the best blood of the country flowing in your veins. Your great-grandfather, a free man, fought in the Revolution. Later he was kidnapped and sold into slavery. An almost unprecedented turn of luck enabled him to hire his time and purchase his freedom—and that of his wife. Such a thing may appear to be a small feat; but when you read the history of those years you realize it was a marvelous accomplishment. Be proud of it; and make everybody proud of you. Be upright, honest and true to your friends and look every man squarely in the face, giving each his just due. And remember your dad would gladly shed the last drop of his blood for you; but don't ever bring shame upon me." Proudly the old man delivered himself of what was uppermost in his mind and heart. The tone of his voice and the light flash in his eye stamped him a veritable aristocrat in spirit but cast in a humble walk of life. Thro' the kindness of people who had known the Clays for years, Harrison got a splendid offer to accompany a corps of engineer to the Northwest for an all-summer's work at surveying. "Opportunity bids me go out into the world of learning," he told Emily Tolson one evening. "Though father takes it pretty hard, I suppose it's for te best. I'm going, but I'll miss your companionship tremendously.

(Continued next week) By The Way (Amzi Hamilton) There are other grounds, however, which have been more seriously urged for the anti-lynching bill. One of these may be put as follows: if I have to fight to keep the government safe why does not the government have to fight to keep me safe. In other words, every citizen of the United States owes a duty to support the government even at the cost of his life, and it seems that the government should owe him the corresponding protection. This is a proposition which is not only fundamental to all government but is a fair exchange that lies at the bottom of all friendship and association. As a matter of history it is true that so far in time of peace the protection of the lives, limbs and property of the people of the United States has been left wholly to the state government, apart from the territories which we are not discussing. Yet there is no positive duty placed on the states in the Constitution to, protect their citizens nor is there any positive prohibition on the federal government to keep its hands off. The way the matter is put in the Fourteenth Amendment is that " no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor . . . deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." No reference is made as to what the state shall do; the only rule laid down is as to what the state shall not do. The hands of the federal government are left free. The writer has not thoroly worked out his conclusions on the Dyer Bill as a matter of law. But he certainly cannot see why he should fight for any government which either cannot or will not fight to protect him either from foreign enemies or from local enemies with whom the state cannot cope. He wants the Dyer Bill passed and given a fair trial. If it fails he wants a better bill and stricter enforcement. Something must be done to stop lynching, else one thing is certain: when the next war comes he is going to be absent without leave. 2025 14th St., N.W.

JUNIORS ENTERTAINED On Saturday, July 18th the younger Y. M. C. A. boys were the guests of the Asbury A. M. E. Sunday School on their picnic at Zoological Garden. The games and contests were very interesting and amusing. The "Y" boys had little trouble in winning the tug of war and the medi- cine ball race, though we were defeated in the baseball game. After the games the boys were served ice cream. The cream supply seemed inexhaustable and the boys tried to devour the whole supply—but all in vain. The affair was lively from start to finish. At dusk we hit the trail for home, sweet home. Many, many thanks to our kind hosts. H. F. CARTER Mary went in bathing Right in a dirty gutter— Her mother sent her straight to bed With toast without any butter. The place of my birth, The grandest and dearest Place upon earth. Here let me smile, Here let me cry, Washington, my Washington— The best 'neath the sky. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE POEM? Send in the poem you like best so we can publish it next Saturday. Let it reach the office not later than July 31st. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS My dear Editor: I am very busy with my summer school work. I am taking 4-a History and 4-a English. We have to make every day count because each means three days of winter school. It is also dreadfully hot. Still, I am doing my best. I just had time to work out the puzzles which are enclosed. This summer I am planning to take some pictures for the "Page." I want to take some of groups, infants, and different people. ***VIOLET M. HARRIS (Age 15) (Dear little Tribunite: Just a word to say I wish you the greatest success in your school work. Send in the pictures when you are ready.—Ed.) Dear Editor: Hello. From a letter I saw in the paper a few weeks ago I thought you would print your picture. Why don't you? I saw a boy who knew you. I'm coming to see you at the office. May I? Let me know at once. PERRY HARDEN (Age 11) (Perry, old scout, from now until about August 6th you can find me at the Tribune office any day except They say that Mary had a lamb; Well I have a lamb too. We romp about the fields all day When the sky is clear and blue. We greet the sparrows and the crows, We greet the cows that moo. We greet most anything in sight And now we're greeting you. --- NEGRO JINGLES "R" stands for Revels Who, soon after the war That banished slavery, Was made Senator. I love old Washington Sunday. Drop around so you can see me and I can see you. I am just as anxious to see and meet my little readers as they are anxious to see me.—Ed.) Dear Editor: I have been reading your page for a long while and I would like to joint it. I live at 59 O St., N. W., I am in the 4-a grade at Langston. NAOMI FITCHER (Age 9) (Dear Naomi: Welcome to you I hope you will continue to like the "Page" and I'm looking forward to many letters from you.—Ed.) Dear Editor: This is hot weather we're having. I wish winter would hurry and come back. Which do you like best, winter or summer? JAMES HOWARD (Age 9) (James: I happen to be one of those persons who love all of the four seasons. Personally, summer is pretty severe on me due to my physical condition. But I bear with it because it brings, birds, flowers, gay colors in clothes, the vivid lightning, and best of all—joy time, play time, vacation time for the kiddies.—Ed.) Dear Mr. Frazier: Would it be all right if my mother sent you some stories? She writes them and reads them to me and my sisters and brothers. I like your paper and read it every week. Put me down as a Tribune. (Dear Alice: We would appreciate reading your mother's stories. Get her to send some of them in. I am sure if you enjoy them that there are other Tribunites who would enjoy them.—Ed.) Dear Editor: I am sending you a letter to let you know how interested I am in the "Children's Page" I have been reading the Tribune for a month and I was so pleased in reading it I decided that I would join. I am sending you a story which I hope you will not give to Mistress Waste Basket. FRANCES BOYD (Age 14) Dear Editor: I have a plan to make the Page more interesting this summer. I love to write fairy stories. I wrote a story called "Candy Land" and I failed to send it in. LEONA HARRIS (Age 13) (Dear Leona: I am glad to hear from you after such a long silence on your part. Send in your stories at an early date.—Ed.) Dear Editor: My plans for helping the "Children's Page" during my vacation is to answer the Negro history more and send in poetical selections. BEULAH HARRIS (Age 15) 95 ```markdown ``` POETS' CORNER THE POETS' CORNER This department is devoted to newspaper poetry. All writers interested in this phase of literature are invited to contribute to this department. This is your department. All matter for this column must be in the office five days before the last Saturday in the month. Communications commenting upon the work of Negro newspaper poetry are welcome. This is an exclusive Tribune feature. Help put it over. "POEMS OF THOUGHT AND CHEER" There has come to the desk of the editor of the "Poets' Corner" a compilation, in booklet form, of a number of poems by George W. McCorkle. To the readers of this column Mr. McCorkle's work is well known. The best of the contents of this booklet are the many four line gems and the tribute to Bert Williams. (See answers to last week's puzzles elsewhere on this page and note three of the gems.) Most of Mr. McCorkle's poems are strictly racial—which we think will retard the progress of this able writer. Poetry is universal and he who writes limiting himself to race, religion, etc. cannot expect universal acclamation. It is very regretable that the booklet has so many typographical errors. These errors have a tendency to jar one in the midst of a beautiful thought. In this column there is a poem by Mr. McCorkle which is typical of his swinging, musical rhythm. "La Muerta" by Jose Lopez wafts us on the sweet soft zepher of poetry into the South Sea Isles. LA MUERTA Forlorn, my garden lies and far— Forlorn, the flowers stand and wave: Forlornly burns my desert star Forlorn, above a desert grave. Gone is youth like a summer's day— Gone is the love that once was mine— Soft pillowed down, in deathly clay They lie; ah, would I too were thine. Dead; my love 'neath the desert sand Lies calm, composed 'neath Eastern skies. skies. Ay sleep, the desert holds your hand And mine; the East wind softly sighs. And Lilacs bloom and gently wave, When twilights' gold and purple glow Softly falls on an Eastern grave. Dead my love in the old, old lands Impatient waits, neath Eastern skies. Ah, death, my friend, come take my hands hands And lead me where my dead love lies. —JOSE LOPEZ The same writer of "La Muerta" takes us in fancy to Flanders' Fields and there beside the graves of fallen heroes we meditate. Surely Lopez is a singer of sweet songs. BATTLE SLEEP Tier on tier the graves are built On grassy plain and mossy bank; Trill on plain the skylarkes lilt A direge to Atkins, Boche and Yank. Side by side sleep those who died On foreign battle fields and shores— MY BROKEN PROMISE Week before last I promised to publish the seventy words made from the word "Tribune" which was submitted by ***Lucille Payne. Upon referring to my file I found that I had retained the letter of Gursta Boyd (containing a list of fifty-five words.) Evidently I threw Lucille's letter away and placed the other on file through error. I owe an apology to you, my little readers, for this carelessness. It is too much to ask Lucille to forward another list which would entail rather a lot of work. To err is human, yet I dislike, so very much, to disappoint you, my little friends. PHOTOGRAPHS WANTED We are anxious to receive photographs of Tribunites. All pictures will be returned if called for, or if postage is forwarded for mailing them back to you. We will not be responsible for pictures lost in transportation. Juvenile groups of clubs or Sunday Schools will be accepted. 7 Atkins, French and Yank beside Boche, sleep on green and gold clad moors. Rank to rank march those who drank The cup of death for liberty, Atkins, Boche and French and Yank Who died; and they alone are free. Year on year they lie legere For countrys' cause who fighting die And sleeping dream of those held dear Of those for whom they fallen lie. —JOSE LOPEZ Most writers are so busy seeking laurels for themselves that they seldom think of tendering praises to the other fellow. George W. McCorkle pays tribute to one of Washington's financiers—while the financier is yet alive. A TRIBUTE TO JOHN W. LEWIS Up from Virginia came a youth With rugged face and brow; He came a leader in finance In preference to a plow. Around him moved the satisfied In vain and gay attire, While he, stirred with a vision great Filled with a gospel fire. Though insignificant his looks, He put up no defense; Experience was his degree— A mint of common sense. His message seemed an idle tale To many of his race; But still he forged and carved his way With firmness in his face. Men with superior intellect, Looked on this lad with scorn, But with a will indomible, He loudly blew his horn. At last his words called to his aid Men from each tribe and class; With faith in this unfaltering son, They gathered in a mass. By listening to his wise discourse Another mile-stone came, Which stamped indelibly each heart The leader's worthy name. This rugged councellor convinced The ignorant and wise Today this leader is proclaimed A saviour in disguise. GEORGE W. McCORKLE This little poem lacks the polish of an experienced writer but it carries a message of good and sound advice. The writer is to be encouraged. BE A DOER Be a doer, not a dreamer, Do not stand and pause and wait; If you wait for weakly notions When you start you'll be too late. Be not a dreamer but a doer If you once expect to win; Dreaming leads the heart to evil— Evil leads the heart to sin. If a task is done by evil It is surely never right; If you love God's great commandments You will do good in his sight. Were you ever once a dreamer How did you, my friend, find life? Did you find eternal pleasures, Or did you find eternal strife? If you once should be a dreamer, Never dream but what is right, And you'll find that life's dark path- Will be happier and bright. —HELEN ANDREWS Buena Vista, Md.

In less than eighteen months the administration has disappointed the people so sadly that if a Presidential election was held this fall, Harding and his administration would meet the greatest defeat ever given a Republican candidate. Such is the way of politics. President Harding has proven to be reactionary and capitalistic. Wall Street is given far more consideration by this Administration than the common people. The common people placed the administration in power but Wall Street is reaping the benefit thereof. But the worm turneth. In nearly every primary election that has been held, the Administration candidate was given a black eye. It began with New and Beverage in Indiana. New, the personal friend of the President, lost. Pinchot in Pennsylvania, handed the Penrose bunch a telling defeat, if it did cost him about a cool hundred thousand dollars. The nomination of Henrik Shippead in Minnesota, a farmer-labor candidate is going to give Senator Kellog the run for his money in November and the odds are that Senator Kellogg will be the loser. Brookheart, Senator elect of Iowa threw the old guard into chills but it was left to Lynn Frazier to deliver the knockout blow, when he put Senator McCumber out of the running. The defeat of Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, was the hardest blow yet delivered to the Administration. Lodge of Massachusetts is not safe, even if he wins in the primary. There is much dissatisfaction in Massachusetts with Lodge. The colored vote has turned against him because of his flim flamming with the Dyer Bill. The colored vote all over the country has been informed of the hypocrisy of the Republican party and this Administration. They are determined to give every Reublican candidate a set down. The Negroes in several states are going to put out candidates and where they have no candidates, they are going to vote for Democrats, Socialist and Progressive candidates. The coming of the thousands of Masons and a large number of Physicians in August, brings the citizens of Washington jam up with the inadequate housing facilities of the Capital City of the Nation. It will require systematic handling of the visitors in order to house the number expected next month. There are practically no houses for rent in the District. There are a few rooms and fewer flats for rent at exhorbitant prices. The landlords having had a taste of war time profiteering are reluctant to rent their houses any more, for they can "sell them" at two or three times more than they paid for them and get the cash. Recently a real estate dealer purchased a house for $4,500 and in twenty-four hours was asking $5,500 for it. Six room houses, without electricity, are selling for six and seven and even eight thousand dollars. Eight room houses, without electricity, are selling from $7,500 to $10,000. The Treasury report for July 1, shows that the per capta wealth of $43 for 1920, dropped to $39 for the year closing June 30. In other words, we Americans are $4 poorer this year than we were last year. Applying that drop of four dollars to the economic situation and we find the reconstruction period has punctured the inflated war wealth of this nation and wages, commodities have gradually fallen. Along with the fall of commodities and salaries and the thousands of people out of work, rents and property must come down also. It is about time the real estate bubble in Washington was punctured. If the well meaning purchasers of the exhorbitant priced homes in this city are not careful they will not be able to continue their payments on their property. Quite a number are paying for their homes by renting out rooms and apartments. But a number of persons have been let out of work in Washington and others have had their income cut down; therefore, people will not be able to pay the high rents that are demanded now. Their income will not permit it. Then what about the prospective owner? Roomers can not pay war time prices with peace time wages. If the SITUATION Anything to defeat the Republicans who have the power to put thru any legislation they desire. What have they done? Nothing. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, Ohio, three times elected to the State Legislature of Ohio and for a number of years, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, is a candidate for nomination for Governor of Ohio in the primaries to be held August 8. There are eight candidates in the field and he polled 61,088 votes in 1920 f or the Secretaryship of the State. Smith may prove a formidable candidate. The placing of the state ticket in the field in Virginia, last year by Negroes therby splitting the Republican vote which caused the Democrats to roll up the largest majority in the history of the State; resulted in Bascom Slemp, the "illy white" Republican Representative from the ninth district, announcing that he will not be a candidate for relection this fall. There is talk of colored candidates in Kentucky and New Jersey. There should be some in Missouri and Illinois. The Negro is going to split up his vote this fall and prove to the Republicans that they can no longer carry the Negro vote in their vest pockets and Lincoln's freeing the slaves no longer holds good as a drawing card for the Negro's vote. This Administration has done less for the Negro than the Wilson Administration. President Harding has forgotten his pre-election promises and his "front porch speeches." His sanctioning of "illy whites" in Virginia, Georgia and Louisiana, backed up with his Birmingham speech; his ignoring of the petition of 50,000 Negroes for a review of the cases of the members of the 24th Infantry confined in the penitentiary at Fort Leavensworth, Kansas; his failure to appoint Negroes to offices accustomed to Negro appointment under Republican Administrations; his reactionary policy and his evident leaning toward the influence of Wall Street have driven the Negro from the Republican party as nothing else could have since his emancipation. Away with Harding and this hypocritical Republican Administration. roomers can not pay their room rent, then the purchasers of homes will not be able to meet their notes. It is easy to sign up for a mortgage on your home but it takes cold cash to meet the notes. Real Estate in Washington is inflated and must come down. To those who are paying war rents, the Rent Commission offers relief. The Commission has the power to valuate the property and after allowing for upkeep, places an income of 8 per cent and adjusts the rents accordingly. A number of rent cases have recently been adjusted on the 8 per cent basis and on every case the rent has been reduced. If you are paying too much rent, see the Rent Commissioners, have them appraise the property and adjust the rents on their eight per cent basis. Most of the rents now being paid are based on 25 to 40 per cent basis. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ness like methods and accurate records of Sir J. Clay Smith,, G. K. of R and S., who also has regularly succeeded himself for twelve years.

The biggest juvenile social event for quite awhile was the evening of music and fun held in Zion Hall, on Tues. day night by Leslie's Scouts. The hall was pretty decorated, the music by Messrs. Gus Lewis, pianis and Green, trappist was good. Dancing was the feature of the evening. This event was the final meeting of Leslie's Scouts, a well known juvenile recreational organization, which had existed in Alexandria for over three years. The chaperones were Mesdame Mayme Anderson, Gertrude C. Hopkins, Cora Bently, and Catherine Holand. Mr. C. Leslie Frazier, the superin Miss Evelyn Payton, of 1918 11th Street is spending a few weeks as the guest of her aunt, Miss Cathrine Madden, Atlantic City. Y.W.C.A. Notes Mrs. Clair at Vespers Sunday gave an interesting account of her trip to Africa. One of her first impressions was the sight of numerous men at the port when their vessel arrived, clamoring for work. No women were in sight, but later and farther removed from the wharf the women were seen carrying children and other burdens attached to their back. The men sat in the street sewing and making clothing. Mrs. Clair said that she was impressed by the eagerness of the African girls for an education. Many girls who are sold at an early age into marriage work and buy their freedom and then go to school. Mrs. Clair made a plea for Y. W. C. A. for the women and children of Africa. Mrs. Frances White, an aunt of Miss Olive C. Jones, and her twin daughters from California visited Camp Lihoco-wo at Arundel last week. Miss King is making reservations for week-end visits to the Camp. Those who desire to spend a day or two down the Bay should see Miss King. A group of Madame Walker agents took lunch at the Cafeteria this week. Mrs. Boyce writes of very interesting experiences on her trip to California and other points west, and Mrs. McAdoo is having a strenuous time at the Silver Bay Conference. Miss Johnson and the dressmaking class find the gymnasium a cool working place these hot days. ALEXANDRIA. VA., NEWS The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.

SPORTS Continued from page 5 Barnes saved Ben Fells an error in the Bureau-Printing Office game, by catching Graves napping off first with the hidden ball trick after his bad throw. Flippin pulled a bone in this game when he failed to touch second on Smackum's hit on which he should have scored. Gen. Acets. had a walk away with the Museum team. With an overcast sky the Acets. were trying to get in 5 innings of play. After the fifth inning the clouds blew away. "Mantyne" Harris boosted his strike out record by sending back 13 Museum men. Ross (Capt. of the G. P. O.) played one whole game this season without having an error charged to him and only one strike out. Keep at 3rd base, Ross. SPORTLETS Battling Siki will get a chance at Carpentier's title sometime in the fall, according to reports from Paris. The two fighters have signed articles of agreement to that effect. The winner will receive 300,000 francs out of a 500,000 franc purse. Soldier Bartfield won the decision from Phil King in a twelve round fight in Brooklyn Monday night. LIGHTNING SKETCHES Frank Bald, the lightning cartoonist, who appeared at S. H. Dudley's MidCity Theater during the week, presented one of the cleverest novelty turns that has been witnessed here since the days of Harry Brown, the famous Indian cartoonist. Bald opened his act with the renditions of a number of popular scores, which he played on a specially designed guitar. His Most interesting stunt is the drawing of a number of trick pictures, all of which he drew with lightning rapidity. He was exceedingly well received.—Jay Bee.
