The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print Vol.2.No.17 CITY EDITOR OF PHILA. TRIBUNE PASSES AWAY Brilliant Career Comes to An End After a Long Illness DIED AT WINDSOR, CONN. Gained Much Prominence by His Fight for Race's Rights Philadelphia, Pa.—G. Grant Williams, for a long period of years, city editor of The Philadelphia Tribune, and prominent in Masonic circles, died Sunday, September 10th at 4:00 p. m. at Windsor, Conn. His wife and a few friends were at his bedside when the end came. Mr. Williams has been in bad health for some time and was visiting his sister in Windsor, when he suffered a relapse from which he never recovered. G. Grant Williams was one of the most prominent editors in the country. Through his association with the late Chris Perry of the Philadelphia Tribune, he placed this paper in the forefront and did much to make it the success that it is. He was a fearless writer and led many fights on the growing race prejudice in the City of Brotherly Love; and he also fought the various political cliques for their hypocritical attitude on the Negro. After Lesly Waldron failed as manager of the New Dunbar Theater in Philadelphia, Mr. Brown acquired the He did not remain in this position long services of Mr. Williams as manager, and never did relinquish his connections with the Tribune. MANY ATTEND BARBEGUE AT SUBURBAN GARDENS MANY ATTEND BARBEGUE AT SUBURBAN GARDENS A record breaking crowd of over 16,000 people attended the barbecue and picnic at the Suburban Gardens on Labor Day. Many thousands of both young and old have visited this park this summer and found wonderful amusement and pleasure in the scenic railway, aero swing, dodgem, merry-go-round, dance pavilion and numerous other amusements. The order in the park has been excellent due to the hearty co-operation of Major Sullivan, Chief of Police, the Captain and officers of No. 9 Precinct. The park will be open daily until October 1st, under the able management of Mr. W. W. Fraction as manager and the following committee: Messrs. G. A. Robinson, J. A. Hyder, A. S. Pinkett, Frederick Fitchett and Edward Holland. This park and all the amusements are owned and controlled by colored stockholders. All are welcome. You are cordially invited to come. Admission to park free. SCHOOL BOARD MEETS Very little was accomplished at the meeting of the Board of Education, Wednesday, in its first meeting of the year, save routine matters and the discussion of the cut in the budget. It was reported that 40,800 square feet of ground had been purchased for the Lovejoy school. The Deanwood Citizens' Association ask for the appointment of a lady janitress and matron, at this school. The six teachers who had enjoined the Board from holding an examination of teachers for promotion to Class A, lost their case and Superintendent Ballou announced that an examination would be held October first. It was announced that the school budget for the District was cut from $8,000,000 to $5,500,000 or about 27 per cent. No appointments of colored teachers, directors or instructors were made at this meeting. They will be made at the called meeting Friday the 15th. Florida Avenue Baptist Church Member Declares That Fight For Rights Will Continue MISS BURROUGHS PLEADS FOR BAPTISTS TO GET TOGETHER Florida Av Member For Rig MISS BURROUG BAPTISTS TO Split Has Greatly Retarded Progress of the Baptist Church In a forceful appeal issued this week for the unification of all Baptists, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, head of the National Training School for Girls, located here, has started an agitation that may eventually end one of the bitterest fights in the history of the Baptist Church. Miss Burroughs' appeal follows: Oh, that I had the influence—the persuasive kind—over Negro Baptists to get them to see the wisdom of calling a great get-together meeting at a central place and praying three whole days for grace enough to unite the two wings of the National Baptist Convention—NOW. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs This is the psychological moment. Brethren, will you hear the voice of a mere woman and lay down your arms and study war no more? I believe God wants you to unite. I believe He wants you to do it now. His ways, though mysterious, are not past the understanding of those who watch His movements. I awoke this morning at four o'clock and my first thoughts were of our denomination. The Spirit said, "Write! Tell them to get together." The voice was so loud that I got up immediately and turned to my DAILY LIGHT. Under the date of September sixth, I read my message for the day. I hope you have one of these little books. I wish you would turn to that message. It is to us. It is for this moment: September 6 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwellel on high, who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!—Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul—I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in Thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee. Because Thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee. Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy name. —Rejoice the soul of Thy servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do. When I concluded the reading, the voice of the Lord still said to me, (Continued on page 8) SECOND BAPTIST LEADER DIES WITHIN MONTH Dr. E. C. Morris Follows Dr. R. H. Boyd to Grave Within Short Period "Was the death of Dr. R. H. Boyd on August 23rd and that of Dr. E. C. Morris, on September 5th, a warning to the colored Baptists of this country to get together?" is the question that is being asked from coast to coast this week. Within two weeks of each other, the principal characters of the two rival national Baptist Conventions of the United States, passed away—Dr. R. H. Boyd, 79, at his home in Nashville, Tenn., August 23, and Dr. E. C. Morris, 67, in Little Rock, Ark., September 5th. Dr. Morris was enroute to his home in Helena, Ark., from Memphis, Tenn., where he had attended a board meeting last week at which time the meeting of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, which was to meet in Los Angeles, Calif., September 6 to 11 was called off, on account of the strike. Dr. R. H. Boyd was for many years the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, of Nashville, Tenn., Dr. Boyd began the issuing of Sunday School literature in Nashville, about thirty years ago, and built up the National Publishing House from this beeginning. Dr. E. C. Morris was elected president of the National Baptist Convention in Atlanta, Ga., in September 1895, when the National Baptist Convention, the Baptist Foreign Missionary Convention and the National Baptist Educational Convention merged into the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America. He held this position continuously for 27 years. This consolidated organization continued for twenty years, when in Chicago, in September 1915, a split occurred over the ownership of the publishing house in Nashville of which Dr. Boyd was secretary and manager. It was found that the ownership was vested in the board of directors and not in the Nat'l Baptist Convention, as many had thot! Thus, there became two factions among the Baptists, one known as the Morris faction, which incorporated its convention here in the District of Columbia, with Prof. M. M. Rogers, La Grange, Texas, Revs. S. E. Griggs, Memphis, Tenn., C. H. Parish, Louisville, Ky., and W. Bishop Johnson, A. Willbanks, H. Powell and M. W. D. Norman, all of Washington, D. C., as incorporators. The Boyd faction elected Rev. E. P. Jones, of Jackson, Miss., as president of the other convention, known as the "unincorporated convention." Rev. Jones is now pastoring in Evanston, Ill. Dr. Boyd continued as secretary of the Publishing Board and Dr. Morris continued as president of the incorporated convention. The Morris faction is erecting a $300,000 publishing plant in Nashville, also. Dr. Boyd was a native of Texas. Dr. Morris was born in Murray County Georgia, May 7, 1855. At the time of his death he had been for thirty-nine years president of the Arkansas State Baptist Convention and pastor of the Centennial Baptist Church at Helena for 43 years. He was a member of the Trustee Board of the Arkansas Baptist College at Little Rock. Dr. Morris was a member of the Exec- Adverse Decision by Court Spurs Members to Greater Effort The folowing letter received this week probably states the position that the members of Florida Ave. Baptist Church who are opposed to the pastor will assume since the adverse decision by the court: Washington, D. C., Sept. 4, 1922 To the Editor of the Wash. Tribune: Sir: Now that Rev. W. A. Taylor, alleged deposed pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, has been upheld in his claim to the pulpit, there is considerable speculation in his camp as to the "apparent intent" of the "antis." I have the honor of being an "anti," for I would rather be a door keeper in the house of the Lord than be clothed with regal powers in a weighed and condemned dynasty. We are not discouraged in this hour of "temporary defeat"; we are not dismayed that the mighty conqueror should march from one end of his kingdom to the other exclaiming: "Who is this that defies the army of the living prince?" When we voted on that fatal night in December to deliver ourselves from the "body of this death" we chose the bitter with the sweet and we are as resolute in that choice today as when it first began. Shall we lay down our arms? Shall we surrender at the hill? Shall we fold our tents like the Arabs and silently move away? Forbid it Almighty God! In the name of humanity decency and high heaven we haven't begun to fight. If we can return to our maker with the record of having resisted to the last, an evil haggard and monstrous, we believe that we shall hear the wholesome welcome: "well done thou good and faithful servants." When "pastor Taylor" is flattered with the emoluments: "high purpose," "devotion and loyalty to the best interest of the church," in the face of his known course nad hideous administrative conduct, if the gods of the heavens were malicious; if they could be controlled for a moment by influences from the other region, they would look over the battlements of the skies and laugh themselves into hystics. "CAROLINA JOE" RELEASED "Carolina Joe," who was imprisoned some months ago in connection with the killing of a white woman at White Station on the Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad in Prince George County, Maryland, will be freed this week according to word given out by State's Attorney J. Wilson Ryon. From the day of this arrest, "Carolina Joe" has protested his innocence. The newly elected secretary-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will address the local branch and public next Sunday, September 10th, at 3:00 o'clock at Pythian Temple. The Elks band will furnish music. Admission will be free. utive Board of the World Baptist Alliance which is to meet in Sweeden next year. Dr. W. G. Parks of Philadelphia, is vicepresident of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, and will assume the duties left by Dr. Morris. There will be two other strong contestants for the presidency when the convention meets next year. They are Rev. L. K. Williams, the pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, of Chicago, which is said to have 8,000 members, and Rev. P. J. Bryant, of Georgia. The funeral of Dr. Morris will take place, Tuesday, the 12th, in Helena, Ark. Dr. Boyd's remains were placed in a vault and will be viewed by the hundreds of Baptists attending the unincorporated convention in Nashville this week. Office: 920 U St., N. W. TIME EXTENDED FOR CLOSING ALLEY DWELLINGS The bill extending the time for the closing of the alley dwellings has passed the Senate and has been signed by the President. This bill extends the time for closing these houses to June, 1923. The houses were to have closed by October of this year: the law authorizing the closing of the alley houses was passed in 1914. It is expected that by next year some plans for the housing of the thousands who will be dispossessed will be worked out. CONFERENCE OF Y.W.C.A.WORKERS CONFERENCE OF Y.W.C.A.WORKERS The 4th annual session of the Y. W. C. A. Conference of Business and Industrial Girls, including delegates from the Associations at Philadelphia, Germantown, Wilkes Barre, Lancaster, Baltimore and Washington was held at the Cheyney Training School, Cheyney, Pa., lasting from August 28th to September 4th. This conference proved to be very inspiring and successful in every way, and the Washington delegates expect to put into execution the new ideas which they have acquired, and the suggestions received as to methods by which to break down barriers, change thinking, and widen the reach of love. At this conference it was voted that Washington supply the President for the 1923 conference of Business and Industrial Girls, and that Washington also furnish a delegate to be sent to the Students' Conference of Colored Girls to be held in Talladega, Alabama. An outstanding feature of the conference along dramatic lines was the pageant portraying the colored women of today and of yesterday. Some of the Washington girls had the leading roles. The Washington delegates with Miss Harriet E. King as leader, were thirteen in number, and were not lacking in any feature of the conference programs. HUMAN HAND SENT THRU U. S. MAIL New York City—Part of Harlem was excited this week after the announcement that Philip Randolph, publisher of the Messenger magazine, had received a human hand through the mails from the Ku Klux Klan. The hand was sent in a box about the size of a shoe box and is believed to have been post marked New Orleans, La. When Mr. Phillips began to open the package, a whitish powder sifted out; upon seeing this he became alarmed, and knowing of the many threats made against him sent for the police. The police put the package in water so in case it was a bomb it would not explode. However, on opening it, they found the left hand of a colored man in a decomposed state. An investigation will be made. A letter in the box stated: "We have sent you a sample of our good work, so watch your step or else you—Don't think we can't get you and your crowd. Although you are in New York City it is just as easy as if you were in Georgia. (Signed) K. K. K." Many believe that the package was sent from New York City as a joke or scare by some of Garvey's followers, but Mr. Phillips believes that the K. K. K. sent it. LARGE DELEGATION TO ATTEND B. M. C. LARGE DELEGATION TO ATTEND B. M. C. The twentieth B. M. C. of the Odd Fellows in Cleveland, Ohio, next week will attract a large number from this section.

Odd Fellows from North Carolina and Virginia will be joined here by the two hundred from the District. The train will also pick up another delegation in Baltimore.

PINCHBACK STATES REASON FOR RESIGNING Feels That Public is Entitled To Know Facts in the Case WITH THEATRE ONE YEAR Declares He Would Not Forfeit His Independence of Thought In a statement released this week, Mr. Walter A. Pinchback makes public his reasons for resigning from the Republic theater. His statement follows: Feeling that my position as manager of the Republic Theater was one of quasi public interest, by virtue of the circumstances surrounding the house, and appreciating as I do, the magnificent support given me by the people, I deem it a duty to supplement the bare statement of my resignation (given out by the Globe Amusement Company) and know of no better way to so do than to submit a copy of the resignation itself. Washington, D. C. August 23, 1922. Mr. Joseph Makover, President, Globe Amusement Company, 1343 U Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Your remarks to me yesterday, relative to my lack of co-operation in the management of the affairs of the Republic Theater, were, to say the least, very unfair. Since the opening of this theater, May 30, 1921, and several months prior thereto, I have done my very best in every way possible to help put it over. I do not hesitate to say that through my personal efforts, helped by the loyal and efficient support of the employees, I have created an atmosphere in this theater that does not exist in any other house in Washington—a condition which is largely responsible for the patronage which we have been able to enjoy. I have at all times given my best, both in thought and labor and whenever I offered a criticism (to which you seem to take such great exceptoin) it was for what I thought to be the best interest of the house. However, you seem to think otherwise, or else, from the statement that you meet more patrons of the house than I do, you deem your knowledge of their desires greater than mine. Feeling as I do, that you desire me to forfeit my individuality and independence of thought—a thing no real man can do, I hereby tender by resignation as manager of the Republic Theater, to take effect, in keeping with our agreement, two weeks from date. It is with many regrets that I take this step, having centered my future in the enterprise and having hoped to reap the reward which I thought was in store for me. Thanking you, and through you, the Globe Amusement Company, for past courtesies and wishing for the theater all the success possible, PARENTS LEAGUE TO MEET The Parents League of the District of Columbia will hold its first meeting of the Fall next Monday night at the New Bethel Baptist Church, corner 9th and S Sts., N.

TUT JACKSON According to news received from New York City, Tut Jackson and his manager have been suspended by the New York Boxing Commission. The reason for their suspension is to give the Commission an opportunity to investigate Tut's record. It is claimed that most of the long string of knockouts are on paper only.

The truth is, Mr. Harding has done but little in the interest of his own Party, other than appoint men from his own State. It can truthfully be said, he has certainly looked after Ohio and Ohioans. In 1913, when the Democrats came into power, they immediately began to set the government wheels Democratic. House cleaning was the way they put it, wholesale dismissal of Republicans; Chiefs of Divisions, Superintendents, Chief-clerks, Auditors, Field Agents, Customs Officers, down to little, petty clerks. Segregation and discrimination were some of their big Students' Corner PIANO PLAYING, TOUCH, The Two Ginger Exercise The two-finger Exercise. The two-finger exercise in its primitive form is one of the oldest known devices for strengthening and individualizing the fingers. It is found in most of the piano instruction books of the last century, and appears also in the more modern works of Clementi, Hummel, and Czerny. As to its treatment in a modern method, the main features are: (1) Its adaptation to metrical and rhythmic forms through varieties of grouping and accentuation. (2) The cultivation of strength and stability as well as lightness and speed in playing by means of the "graded sequence" and "velocity" forms. (3) The development of a musical as well as mechanical legato quality of touch by means of the employment of the diverse and varied muscular movements which contribute thereto. These things in proper combination enhance the value and efficacy of the two-finger exercise in a wonderful degree, because they involve the cultivation of phrasing and expression as well as of mere muscular strength and dexterity; of firmness and elasticity; of light and shade; and of repose in action which is so necessary to a finished and artistic style of playing. During the years 1853-54, Liszt's pupils were few in number, only three, in fact, viz., Dionys Pruckner, Karl Klindworth, and another foreigner. One day the boys were discussing the subject of mechanical technic and wishing for some little "multum in parvo" exercise, which should be so comprehensive and far-reaching in its results as to do away with a multiplicity of exercises, and acting like magic, accomplish the whole thing instanter and thus obviate the necessity of slow plodding, as many of us are wont to do nowadays. They finally referred the matter to Liszt, and his reply was that inasmuch as all pianoforte pieces consisted of scale, arpeggio, chord, and octave passages, the practice of these could never be wholly dispensed with; but, he continued, "of all exercises of which I have acknowledge, for stimulating, strengthening, and limbering the fingers, this simple little exercise is the most effective." (Note: Exercise was grouped sixteenths in two-four time, two-finger legate, Met. 96 to 120). Liszt went to the piano two-four time, two-finger exercise but without observing any particular metrical form. "You know," he continued, "that I have given up my concerts and public playing, but when occasionally I do play in private for my friends and feel the need of preparation, I practice this exercise solely and for two or three hours uninterruptedly. As a result I regain my full technic without practice of anything else, either exercise or piece." Tausig, who got this exercise from Liszt at a later period, also held it in high esteem, and, according to the testimony of many of his pupils, he used it in his individual practice more than any other form of exercise. QUESTIONAIRE 1. What is meant by Technic? 2. What is a Musical phrase? 3. Name all octaves of the keyboard? 4. What is a Gavotte? A Folksong? 5. What are Balancing Phrases? 6. What is a Variation?—Explain the term a Tempo. Friday evening.—The B. Y. P. U. Congress Chorus of D. of C. rendered "Jephtha's Daughter" at Metropolitan A. M. E. church last Thursday evening. The chorus has twenty members. features. It was thought by many when the Republicans had again been swept into power, they would right the old ship of which Frederick Douglass had spoken so complimentarily; but in lieu of "righting" the old Republican ship, Mr. Harding, much to the surprise of the people, was and is content. No real progressive Republican will discuss the present administration and the reason for it. is because he is ASHAMED. Mr. Harding entered the executive Mansion and has made himself content with being Chief Executive. He has left in office practically all of the Democratic Assistant Secretaries. He has made it known to them that they do not need to resign. In lieu of removing Democrats, he has protected them and on the contrary he has removed and accepted resignations of real progressive Republicans, such as, Ass't Secretary Dover. He has upheld the hands of Secretary Mellon, who has no politics other than dollars; and whose policy is keep the little man poor and aid the rich man regardless of his politics, be he Democratic or Republican. Mr. Mellon's stanch friend is Blair, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a winked-at Republican. The Republican policy has been (and with the approval of Mr. Harding), GET RID OF NEGROES IN THE DEPARTMENTS and MAKE AS FEW APPOINTMENTS IN FEDERAL POSITIONS AS POSSIBLE. The positions of Auditor for Navy, Register of Treasury, Ass't Attorney General, Collector of Customs, et al, once held by colored men, have been snatched away from them by Harding Administration. And in the face of this dire and contemptuous treatment, Mr. Harding and the Republican party are expecting the colored Americans to vote the Republican ticket this Fall. Any Colored American who will support any administration candidate is an incorporeal-infernal fool. Mr. Harding has permitted and does permit, "jimcrowism" in the office of the Register of the Treasury. In the Supervising Architect's Office, he permits and continues in office the Acting Supervising Architect, the Acting Executive Officer, Technical Officer, et als, all Democrats and who will not recognize or elevate a colored man to a clerical position. The Chief clerk and Ass't Chief clerk are Democrats and opposed to elevating colored men. The Controller General's Office (Comptroller of the Treasury) is run by Democrats; Republicans, other than a cousin of the President, being entirely ignored. The words of the late Colonel and former president, THEODORE ROSEVELT are flashing back from the grave. "The two old parties are rotten, there is need of a birth of a NEW PARTY." Let all true colored Americans, rise up and put down the Harding Administration. Respectfully, W.

SWIMMING MEET BIG SUCCESS The capacity attedance at the swimming meet at the Howard pool Labor Day, was appreciative of the excellent program arranged and executed by managers Joseph Walker and Thomas Hughes, under the auspices of the Washington Tribune. Intense interest was manifested in the different contests by the large crowd as well as by the participants themselves. Loving cups were provided for individual prizes of the senior and junior contests; and first, second and third prizes were provided for each contest of the senior and junior grades. In addition to the contests there were demonstrations made by young ladies who consented to help enliven the program. Dr. Empress Skinner, 1984 4th Street, demonstrated the full stroke and floating. She was given a great hand on the float. Miss Evelyn Brockenborough, 417 V Street, gave an excellent demonstration of the breast stroke. Little Evelyn Walker swam twenty-five yards as evidence of what a first year child may do. Miss Louise Jefferson demonstrated the side over arm stroke. Miss Anita Gant showed just what it is to trudge-geon in water. She also exhibited several high diving stunts. The loving cup for the senior individual prize went to Samuel Baker, 1610 4th Street, N. W., who made thirteen points'. The cup for the junior grade went to E. Lewis, 1343 2nd Street, with ten points to his credit. The first, second and third awards went to the following persons in the order given: Senior, 50 yards, S. Baker, 35 seconds; followed by T. Jackson, E. Davis. The 100 yards was won by S. Baker, 1 min. 5 sec.; followed by T. Jackson and A. Akers. In the 220 yard contest T. Jackson won in 3 min. and 13 seconds followed by S. Baker and B. Akers. In the relay, S. Baker, H. Walker, R. Wilson and E. Lewis. In the junior 25 yard contest, Oscar Taylor, of Alexandria, won in 19 seconds; followed by D. Jones and E. Gant. The 50 yards won by E. Lewis, 44 sec.; followed by W. Wallace and D. Jones. The 100 yard test was won by E. Lewis, in 1:38; followed by Peck Smith and D. Jones. The junior relay created interest. It was won by H. O'Tell, W. Wilson, W. Beckett and W. Wallace. The prizes consisted of medals, pins and ribbons. The boys who took part in the contests were inspired over the event and increased interest in swimming was manifested. The Washington Tribune scored another hit with the young people of Washington in promoting this event and many expressions of appreciation have been received. THE GLADIATORS ISSUE CHALLENGE The Gladiator A. C. takes this opportunity, to challenge the Asbury A. C. for a game of baseball on Sunday, September 24th. If the Asbury A. C. is interested, its representative will kindly get in communication with the secretary of the Gladiator A. C. at 1629 Tenth St., N. W., before Monday September 18. SKATEOMOBILE RACE On Friday, September 1, the Junior boys of the 12th Street "Y" took part in a lively skatemobile race. The race aroused quite a little interest on 12th Street. James Briscoe, in his brightly painted, well lubricated car had little difficulty in outstripping his rivals. PIEDMONTS BREAK EVEN PIEDMONTS BREAK EVEN The hard hitting Piedmonts hooked up with the St. Cyprians on Labor Day at Union League Park, in a double header. The Piedmonts took the first game by a score of 5 to 1; the Saints came in and captured the nightcap of 5 innings, with a score of 3 to 2. Batteries for Piedmonts—first game, Spike Bland and Banks; for St. Cyprians—Fox and Bush; second game; Grant, Taylor and Mills. St. Cyprians, Parker and Mantine Harris. The Piedmonts will play the fast Deanwood A. C. Saturday September 9th at Union League Park, 15th and 9th at Union eLague Park, 15th and H Street, N. E., at four o'clock. On Sunday, September 3, the Piedmonts won a game from the Teddy Bears which went 10 innings; score 2 to 1 in favor of the Piedmonts. Batteries—Piedmonts, Kaiser and Mills; Teddy Bears, Fells and Payne. DONNY DESPORT, A REAL UMP Probably no department of Negro baseball needs strengthening as badly as that of the umpiring staff. This is noticeably true in all sections of the country regardless of the class of baseball. District fans can at least boast of having one of the best "umps" in the country in the person of Daniel Desport. "Danny" is a local product, having been one of the greatest outfielders in the East until a train accident in 1916 mashed his left arm so badly that its amputation was necessary. Previous to this unfortunate experience, Desport had played with the Royal Giants of Brooklyn, the Cuban Giants, the Philadelphia Giants and other strong teams of the East. For five years Desport has served as an arbitrator in these parts, and his great popularity vouches for his success. Western fans are now clamoring, and even demanding, that Colored umpires replace white ones now performing in Foster's league. In the near THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 9. 1922 future we hope to see "Donny" calling them in that circuit. The fast fielding Treasury Messengers A. C. went down to defeat before the hard hitting and sensational pitching of the Arlington Athletics last week. Batteries—Arlington, Snow and Richardson; Messengers, Harris and Hannon. Snow allowed six scattered hits for eight runs, while Harris allowed twenty hits for nine runs, including three triples and many extra base hits. The score—19 to 8. Lafayette All Star Controversy A game between the All Stars and the Lafayettes seem likely not to materialize. A difference of opinion seems to hinge around the opening date. An official statement from the managers and captains of these teams will appear on this page next week. ASBURY BROWNS DEFEATED BY STARS Pie Williams' Asbury Brown's were defeated by Jack Love's Elite Stars by the score of 17 to 8, this week. The features of the game were the pitching of Jack Thomas and Lomax; the fielding of Robinson and Gus. Colbert, the hitting of Hansborough, Gillbert, Colbert and Robinson.

The Receiving Station boys desire games with any local team, LeDroit Tigers preferred. Call Lincoln 4730 and ask for S. L. Owens. BY THE GLADIATORS Sunday, September 3, found the Gladiators in a thrilling game with the Virginia All-Stars at Alexandria. The All-Stars put up a game fight and for a while it seemed as if the game would end 1 to 0 in their favor. The Gladiators registered nine hits but the All-Stars did not allow hits when hits meant runs. In the seventh, however, the Washington boys got busy, bunched three successive hits after a walk and scored three runs which seemed enough to win. The All-Stars didn't think so, as they came right back in their half and scored the winning run when Wm. Rose's error allowed the catcher's and runs impossible, but in the tenth, after one was out, the second man up for the Gladiators beat out a bunt and scored the winning run when the second baseman allowed the catcher's throw to go through his legs. The All-Stars were retired in order in their half. The Gladiators completely outclassed their opponents in the field; their fast work causing much applause from the crowd. At the bat, however, the honors went the other way. The pitching of the Gladiators stood out by itself, fourteen strikeouts being registered and only 3 passes issued.

One critic says: "The fact that two of the race's best comedians, in the persons of Clifford Ross and Billy Higgins, are featured will give reason to believe the claims of the producers and managers that the comedy end of this attraction is 100 per cent right, and a peek at the lineup of principals, in which such names as Ernest Whitman, Alice Gorgas, Susie Sutton, the popular Legette Sisters, Iola Young, Ollie Burgoyne, Zarleda LaRue, Edna Hicks, "Monk" Bramelette, Walter Brogsdale appear, is one of the finest recommendations for a fast working Mary Iola Young, the girl with the golden voice in "Follow Me" at the Howard next week. and up-to-theminute evening's entertainment that could be desired. There is also a pretty and sweet singing chorus of high caliber in support of the cast named above and a quartet which is different from the regulation production four in that they can sing and they do so, with fine effect. The entire group is drilled to the final notch, the ensemble being done with a swift action that leaves no chance for the customary waits. There are 16 scenes in the two big acts and the settings are all new and attractive. The costing is fresh and nifty, the music beautiful and there are many novel electrical and scenic effects, including a rain and snow storm which is vividly realistic. There is, as usual, a light comedy story running throughout the piece with just enough seriousness in well developed spots to hold interest."

T·SOUNDED LIKE "THE OLD FARM," BUT WASN'T-IT WAS JUST BROADWAY In the air was heard the mellow sound of a deep-voiced cowbell; at intervals came the barking of a dog, the mewing of a cat, the crying of a baby in distress, the plaintive "b-a-a-a" of a lamb, or the raucous crash of metal on metal. Occasionally there came the twitter of birds. A rooster crowed, a hen cackled, and from somewhere came the shrill squealing of a pig. It was not evening on the farm, despite the lowing of cattle. The sounds came from a jazz orchestra which formed a very important part of a cabaret scene in Pearl White's new picture, "The Broadway Peacock," filmed in the mammoth William Fox studios in New York. Facing the scene sat Director Charles J. Brabin, who made no attempt to direct the orchestra, having his hands full with directing the progress of the scene. For brilliance, beauty and gorgeousness no similar scene in a motion picture has ever eclipsed it, it is declared. The atmosphere was perfect, and the players were imbued with the boisterous spirit of the occasion. Miss White was radiant in a dazzlingly beautiful gown, sent from Paris solely for this scene. Her acting brought forth applause from the director himself. As the cameraman ceased grinding on the last bit of movement on the set, Brabin arose, stretched his great length ectastically and announced that the day's work was ended. "The end of a really perfect day," suggested Mr. Brabin to the star. "The Broadway Peacock" is undoubtedly one of the most enthralling pictures the popular star has ever done. It is booked for Dunbar Theater, September 11 and 12. FILM FACTS The moving picture industry has grown to such an extent that the mak- ing of pictures is a real business which requires as much business training as that of making a locomotive or an automobile. About three out of every four pictures made in this country are produced in southern California. Capital invested in the production of moving pictures amounts to $600,000,000. Southern California produced $150,000,000 worth of films last year. There are 20,000 people steadily employed producing pictures. One typical picture may employ 10,000 people and cost from $140,000 to $150,000. Of this amount more than $85,000 is spent in salaries. From $20,000 to $25,000 for materials used in the scenery, sets and rentals. About fifty foreign countries are using films made in the United States. The export of American produced films has increased from 32,000,000 exposed feet and 114,000,000 unexposed feet in 1919 to 175,000,000 exposed feet and 63,000,000 unexposed feet in 1921. There are more than 16,000 motion picture theatres in this country. About four out of five are of the smaller type, charging from 10 to 29 cents admission. There is said to be only about 17,500 moving picture theatres in the rest of the world, therefore, we have nearly half of all the theatres in the world. It is estimated that the movies take in about $20,000,000 a day in this country, or $700,000,000 a year. More than $200,000,000 of this amount is spent in California alone to produce new pictures. Washington had the first moving picture house to be owned and operated by colored people in the United States. While there are ten houses in Washington now catering to colored patronage, only six are controlled by colored people. Postal Facts There are 252,756 persons regularly employed and 80,485 people indirectly connected with the great business of mail distribution, in the United States. In this number are 51,948 postmasters of all grades, as follows: First class 834; econd class, 2,808; third class, 10,407; fourth class, 37,899. There are 2,730 assistant postmasters; 56,118 clerks; 40,591 village and city carriers; 485 post office inspectors; 11,283 substitute clerks; 10,765 substitute carriers; 3,500 pecial delivery messengers; 19,659 railway post clerks; 2,419 substitute R. P. O. clerks; 345 air mail employees; 44,086 rural carriers; 3,177 motor vehicle employees; 13,128 mail messengers; 10,766 star route contractors; 273 steam boat contractors and 1,917 in the post master general's department in Washington.

Two complete sets of solutions which were sent in to the Page last week had to be given to the office goat. (The office goat eats paper and everything.) Both sets of solutions contained the same errors in spelling, the sentences were composed exactly alike, and the articles were styled and numbered alike. Tribunites have been warned against copying or permitting others copying solutions. Please remember this.

TEN LITTLE SHADOW MEN CONTEST JINGLE (To be completed after 3rd Stanza) Note: The first, second and third prize completions were published last week. First three stanzas read as follows: Ten little shadow men All standing in a row Each dressed in eve'ning clothes Wondering where to go. One went to a dancing class To pass away the time— After he went on his way There were only nine. One went to a movie show He hoped he wasn't late— After he went on his way, There were only eight. (Contest jingle completed by Anthony Lemmon, Age ?) Another joined an aeroslane band Another was a "rough-neck" He would with any mix— He joined a band of "bad guys" And that left only six. Another went to the bathing beach And oh! what a terrible dive— The poor fellow was never seen again And that left only five. Another had such an awful temper! And he was such a bore. He shook himself, until his sides did crack, And that left only three. Another rode on the scenic railway, He was feeling so awfully blue, And oh! when he was taken off Alas, poor fellow, that left only two. One met a "bootlegger," And drank some awful rum And when the law captured him, That left only one. Finally, one got so despondent, He bought himself a gun, He built a "subway" through his brain, And that left none. (Contest jingle completed by Eloise Robinson, Age 12) Planning to return at eleven— After he went on his way There were only seven. One went to see his only girl One went to the Suburban Gardens Planning to take a dip dive— After he went on his way There were only five. One went to a goldsmith To get a key to his door— After he went on his way There were only four. One went to a banquet Wondering who he would see— After he went on his way There were only three. One went to the Murray Casino Wondering what street it was, T or U— After he went on his way There were only two. One went to an astronomer To study about the sun— After he went on his way There was only one. The last one thought and thought He decided to have some fun— So he turned around and walked away And there were none. (Contest jingle completed by Helen Payne Age ?) One went to the Doctors' ball He stayed 'till half past eleven If he'd danced till twelve o'clock There'd been only seven. Another went to knitting class He likes the needles pleasant click To make sweaters for those at home Who were of course, the other six. One went to the swimming pool To learn a fancy dive— He stayed until 'twas time to go Back to the other five. Another went around the block Then came home through the back door— He didn't want to leave the house alone With the youngest four. Another went out walking, too, He climbed a sycamore tree— He saw a mad dog had gotten loose And he determined to save the three. Another one went to the drug store For want of something better to do While coming home he met the six To see how fared the remaining two. When they got home they were dismayed They couldn't find them, were they dead? They had to pass the youngsters' door Locked in, the scamps were asleep in bed. How happy they were So glad and so gay They went to bed, too, You'll hear more another day. THE COOPER AND VINTNER Over in Alexandria, Va. there is a lot, the former site of Hallowell school which colored girls attended for years until about three years ago when the building now occupied by boys and girls was opened. Hallowell School was named in honor of Benjamin Hallowell a noted scholar (white) and mathematician of Alexandria. Benjamin Banneker, our own beloved astronomer and mathematician submitted a problem to George Ellicott (white) a noted mathematician of Maryland. Mr. Ellicott was a personal friend of Banneker. Mr. Ellicott could not solve the problem. Many master mathematicians attempted to solve it, but failed. This great Negro had America wondering, had the leading brains puzzled—but all the solutions sent to Banneker were wrong. It was finally solved by Mr. Hollowell. The problem is in verse and is as follows: "A Cooper and a Vintner sat down for a talk, Both being so groggy, that neither could walk, Says Cooper to Vintner, 'I'm the first of my trade, There's no kind of vessel but what I have made, And of any shape, sir,—just what you will,— And of any size, sir,—from a ton to a gill!' 'Then,' says the Vintner, 'you're the man for me,— Make me a vessel, if we can agree. The top and the bottom diameter define To bear that proportion as fifteen to nine; Thirty-five inches are just what I crave. No more and no less in the depth will I have. Just thirty-nine gallons this vessel must hold,— Then I will reward you with silver or gold,— Give me your promise, my honest old friend?' 'I'll make it tomorrow, that you may depend!' So the next day the Cooper his work to discharge, Soon made the new vessel, but made it too large;— He took out some staves which made it too small, And then cursed the vessel, the Vintner and all. He beat on his breast, 'By the Powers!' he swore, He never would work at his trade any more. Now, my worthy friend, find out if you can The vessel's dimensions and comfort the man!" A solution worked out by Benjamin Hallowell asserts that the greater diameter of the tub must be 24.745 inches and the lesser, 14.8476 inches. Q: Who was it who sang a song about the grave making all people equal? It is asserted a colored woman sang this song a hundred times in one night. Please tell me something about this affair.—C. H. A: A singer of note of our race known as Flora Batson, sang a hymn ninety successive nights at a temperance revival in New York. The name of the selection was "Six Feet of Earth Make Us All One Size." This singer became nationally famous in 1887. She visited several foreign countries. She died in Philadelphia, December 2, 1906. Q: Where was the first colored Y. M. C. A. organized?—E. F. A: The first Colored Young Men's Christian Association was organized here in Washington, in 1853. The first colored student association was organized in 1869 at Howard University. Q: Who was the first Negro priest in this country?—Z. N. H. A: The firstNegro priest appointed in this country was Augustus Tolton. He was ordained in the Propaganda at Rome in 1888. At the time of his death he was pastor at St. Monica's church. Chicago, Illinois. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE Published W WASHINGTON TRIBUNE 920 U Stree WASHINGTON Phone No. F. MORRIS MURRAY WILLIAM O.

DAUGHERTY'S INJUNCTION No greater blunder has the present Administration made than when, on September first, Attorney General Daugherty asked for an injunction against Union Labor, in Chicago, to settle the strike of the shopmen of the railroads. Nothing is gained now, after two months' delay by a sudden access of sound and fury. Nothing is gained by seeking to enjoin men in the name of the Nation, from acts which the Nation has not declared illegal. What is to be gained by giving exasperated men a reason to doubt the good will or question the good sense of the Department of Justice? have refused all reasonable offers of the employees for settlement of the strike. In fact, it proves they would have been foolish to agree to the strikers' terms, knowing that they controlled the powers of government through the Attorney General." If the Attorney General wants to benefit the Nation, as he claims he does, in issuing this injunction, why doesn't he enjoin the rich mine owners from grafting by withholding and raising the price of coal, so that the consumer will not have to pay exorbitant prices for his fuel this winter? Why doesn't the Attorney General enjoin the rich railroads from with The Attorney General has practically asked for a reign of anarchy and terrorism in this country by endeavoring to enjoin the leaders of the railroad strikers; from participating in the continuation of the strike. The mass of unemployed workingmen is similar to a mob and the Herrin, Illinois affair is an example of what leaderless strikers may do. So far the injunction has proven fruitless and is embarrassing the administration in many ways. Since no good has been accomplished or will possibly be accomplished the question arises: Why did the Attorney General seek to have the injunction issued? The statement by the central committee of the New York district issued Friday, following the issuance of the injunction, may throw some light on the affair. The following paragraph speaks for itself: "It (the injunction) indicates the perfidy of President Harding in offering a so-called settlement to the men and railroad companies, with an apparent understanding that it would be turned down by the companies and the present action taken when it became evident the strike could not be broken. It shows why the railroad executives By The Way (Amzi Hamilton) The drive on organized labor is not meeting with the success that the capitalists predicted. The miners have won their strike, and the railroad situation is rapidly becoming worse for capital. Transporation is gradually but surely breaking down, and the claims of the operators that the shops are filling up again with men do not square with the constantly increasing net loss of serviceable equipment. Armed guards and labor spies have not served to break the spirit and ranks of the strikers. Now a new assault has been made. The federal government, ostensibly on the ground that the strikers are interfering with interstate commerce and the transportation of mails, but really on the ground—some of us believe—that if something is not done soon labor will win the strike, has issued an injunction against the strikers so broad and sweeping in its terms that it seems to prevent the strikers from doing anything but sleeping and eating, if they can. First reactions show a widespread resentment among labor leaders. On Labor Day, in spite of threatened arrest, they spoke bitterly against the injunction. Labor seems to have been aroused rather than cowed, and the victory of the miners will unquestionably tend to stiffen the whole of the striking shopmen. One who has not followed the history of the conflict between capital and labor cannot appreciate the admission which capital makes by invoking government aid against the railroad strikers. The government is a last trump,and as such is saved for the final stand. For the moment it distracts the attention of labor from capital to the government itself. Labor then goes after the government either by peaceful means or violent. If it fails, capital is saved; if it succeeds and gets control of the government, capital is doomed. In the great railroad strike of 1894, the government interfered by injunction as a last resort and labor lost the strike and received a temporary set back in its proportion of government control. What will be the ultimate --- 18 have refused all reasonable offers of the employees for settlement of the strike. In fact, it proves they would have been foolish to agree to the strikers' terms, knowing that they controlled the powers of government through the Attorney General." If the Attorney General wants to benefit the Nation, as he claims he does, in issuing this injunction, why doesn't he enjoin the rich mine owners from grafting by withholding and raising the price of coal, so that the consumer will not have to pay exorbitant prices for his fuel this winter? result of the present injunction remains to be seen. * * * * * Meanwhile in Europe small straws indicate that the workers there are on the upward swing into power. In Germany the imperial eagles and heads of the nobility have been replaced on postage stamps by scenes of common labor. It is hard for us to imagine the head of Washington taken off our postage stamps and the picture of some common miner picking coal substituted, but that is what has happened in Germany and what to a greater or less degree, in other ways, is happening over the rest of Europe. The United States can set its face against this irresistible tide but cannot check it. MISS BURROUGH PLEADS FOR GET-TOGETHER MISS BURROUGH PLEADS FOR GET-TOGETHER (Continued from page 1) "This is the time to write." I have no lengthy appeal. We have discussed this matter for seven years. This is not the time for a review. It is time for decision and action. Because of the death of two leaders, Doctors Boyd and Morris—one on each side—both wings of the National Baptist Convention will be called upon to fill the vacancies. The progress of Negro Baptists for the next fifty years will be seriously affected by the selections made. Not that the new leaders will stay in office forever, but because their attitude on this get-together idea will determine how much progress we shall make and how fast we shall move. In fact, this is the most momentous period in the history of the denomination. Never before have we faced a crisis when the opportunity for a glorious success and the danger of an awful failure faced each other so squarely. The opportunity to get right with God by getting right with each other is up to us. Our future is in the balance. Our leaders are in the balance and will be weighed. Will they be found wanting in unselfishness, in vision, and in love for their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? Let me give, in brief, five reasons why we should get together: FIRST—We have not done anything since we have been apart. SECOND—We cannot do anything effectively as long as we stay apart. THIRD—The people (the masses) who have suffered most because of the split want us to get together. FOURTH—Divided forces cannot command consideration and respect from the people and from friends to THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 BUNE G CO., Inc.

He is ready to direct every movement we make in the direction of union—in the carrying out of a constructive program commensurate with our tremendous opportunity and obligation. The leaders who say NEVER or NOT NOW are either selfish or destructive. Do not wait to come back one by one—we lose the moral effect thereby. Brethren, this is the time to disappoint the devil of his long expectation and make heaven ring with hallelujahs and earth repoice over a signal victory. Let's do it!
