The Washington Tribune REGISTRATION IN SCHOOLS BREAKS RECORD All the News That's Fit to Print REGISTR REPUBLICANS AGAIN TURN DOWN NEGRO Refuse to Put Through Bill To Reinstate Lieut. H. O. Flipper That the Republican leaders do not intend to do even one thing for the Negro race was again brought out by the action of a sub-committee of the Committee on Military Affairs of the U. S. Senate in supporting a motion made by a Democrat member of the sub-committee to indefinitely postpone hearings on a bill to enable the President to restore Second Lieut. Henry Ossan Flipper the first Negro graduate of West Point to grade, rank and status in the U. S. Army. The bill was introduced in the U. S. Senate by Senator Poindexter, on August 22nd, 1921, and was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs of which Senator James W. Wadsworth of New York is chairman. The bill was later referred to a subcommittee of which Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania was chairman. The story of the railroading of Lieut. Flipper out of the army back in the early eighties is an interesting one; and this bill was the result of hard work by his friends who desired to see a wrong righted. Senator Pepper's sub-committee took the adverse action on the bill in July of this year. The bill is now regarded as being practically dead, and thus another attempt to have the Republican party manifest its alleged love for Negroes has gone a glimmering. The committee never even called for hearings on the bill, although many prominent men intimated that they desired to testify in behalf of Lieut. Flipper. The Flipper bill, like the Dyer bill, the Liberian Loan bill and other pieces of legislation intended for the benefit of the Negro, has been placed in the waste basket by the Republican party leaders who profess such great love for the Negro voter about election time. Two Republican members of the Senate Committee will come up for election this year, namely Senator Sutherland of West Virginia and Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey. Lieut. Flipper was the first Negro to graduate from West Point and after a short service in the army, was court martialed and dismissed from the service. His own story of how he was railroaded out of the army and the bill introduced by Senator Pointexter is herewith given for the information of those who would like to know the facts in the case. A BILL To enable the President to restore Second Lieutenant Henry Ossian Flipper to grade, rank, and status in the United States Army. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the President is hereby authorized to set aside, annul, or expunge the proceedings of a court-martial, as promulgated in general court-martial orders, numbered thirty-nine, Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant General's office, Washington, June 17, 1882, to take effect June 30, 1882, and to restore Second Lieutenant Henry Ossian Flipper, Tenth Regiment of Cavalry, United States Army, to grade, rank, and status in said arm of the service to which he would have attained had he remained continuously in the service from the date of his dismissal therefrom by said order until the date of the approval of this Act, to all intents and purposes as if he had never been dismissed, and that he then be placed on the retired list of the Army. (Continued on page 8) --- Published Weekly "CAROLINA JOE" THANKS PEOPLE FOR KINDNESS "CAROLINA JOE" THANKS PEOPLE FOR KINDNESS Arrived Home Safe and is Happy to be Home Again The Tribune received a letter this week from Frank Keller, brother of Joe Keller, alias "Carolina Joe" thanking the people of Washington for the many kindnesses shown his brother while he was in jail in Maryland and after his recent release. The N. A. A. C. P. local branch here, was instrumental in having Keller released after he had spent over sixteen months in jail as a suspect in the killing of a white woman. After the release of Keller had been assured, his brother Frank, who is in business in Summerville, S. C., came to Washington to take Joe back home. His letter to the Tribune follows: Summerville, S. C., September 13, 1922. To the Washington Tribune: To the Washington Tribute I am very glad to have the opportunity to say that Joseph and I arrived home early Monday morning where all were very glad to see and meet him with joy and happiness. All of the family, as well as himself and I, wish to thank you to the highest of our ability for what you did in assisting to get him safely home. Now he is as happy as can be, but he cannot forget the unjust suffering an innocent person must undergo sometimes for something which he knows nothing about. So each and every one wish to again thank every one for their sympathy and kindness. I am, Respectfully, FRANK KELLER BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS At the meeting of the Board of Education, Wednesday, Supt. Ballou recommended cutting down the pay of six teachers because of the poor showing in their rating for the past five years. This was approved by the Board. In some instances the bonus of $240 was withheld and in other cases, both bonus and longevity were withheld. During the discussion, the Superintendent said: "We should not continue in the service those teachers who last year were rated poor." "If that is your opinion, you ought to have the courage to recommend it to the board," said Attorney Wm. L. Houston, a member of the Board, in response to Dr Ballou's statement. The transfer of the Dental Clinic from the Cleveland school was discussed and ordered placed in the Henry Polk school. Dr. Fowler of the District Health Department wanted it in the Thompson school. During the discussion it was brought out that there are three dental clinics for white children and only one for the colored children of the District. That one is located in the Shaw Junior High School. Attorney Wm. L. Houston, asked why the clinic could not be left children and only one for the colored children, since that school had been turned over to them and there is only one dental clinic in the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th divisions. Rule 43-L came up for a lengthy discussion. This is the rule granting married women teachers a maternity leave of two years. A new angle of leave of absence came up Wednesday, when it developed that the board had requested a certain married teacher on maternity leave until October 15, to report for duty last Monday. It developed that she had given birth to a second child during the two years' leave, which child was only eight months old and the Board was asked WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922. LONESOME SOLDIERS AT MT. ALTO HOSPITAL ASK PUBLIC TO PLEASE VISIT THEM UNION LABORERS BANK NOW UNDER A NEW SYSTEM Is Doing Business Under a Special Declaration of Trust Opening their doors under a "Declaration of Trust" on September 14, the Union Laborers' Savings Bank, 14th and T Streets, Northwest, eliminated the word "savings" and began business under a new system of banking, which gives the broad powers of a trust company and increases their powers in the commercial banking field. The Union Laborers Bank is the first colored bank in the country to open under a declaration of trust. The first bank of the sort to open in the District was a white bank in Anacostia, on Tuesday the 12th. The Union Laborers followed on the 14th. There is a white bank in Philadelphia and one in Cleveland operating under the declaration of trust and all of them are doing excellent business. Banks operating under the "declaration of trust" are not subject to the Comptroller of the Currency and do not have to submit to his call for statements at given periods. The Union Laborers Bank is to have a capital stock of $100,000, based on 10,000 certificates at $10 each. J. H. W Howard is the president of the Union Laborers Bank. Mr. Howard stated Wednesday that their business is increasing as fast as they can find the help to handle it. They are prepared to do a general banking business as well as to accept trust funds, execute wills and act as executors. to rescind her appointment. It has been an unwritten rule of the board that the child should be at least fifteen months old before the mother returns to the school room. The Board accepted the Superintendent's recommendation to open the night schools of the District on Monday night, October 2nd. The following changes were authorized— Turn to this page and see how every school child has a chance to see a fine movie for ten cents. This week the Tribune received a letter from the sick soldiers at Mt. Alto Hospital asking that the people of Washington come out to the hospital once in a while and give them a word of cheer. The letter speaks for itself and is herewith reproduced: U.S. Veterans' Hospital No. 32. Washington, D. C. A Voice from Mt. Alto Hospital I am taking the liberty of bringing to the eyes of the public a few facts concerning the apparently deserted spot, 2650 Wisconsin Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C., where are housed about fifty colored veterans of the World War, most of whom are suffering from that awful plague, tuberculosis. One of the sad experiences is that incessantly do the weeks pass and practically no one comes in to say "hello" to a despondent soldier. Some of our lives are fast being eaten away and will soon fall into that dreamless sleep, only to wake in the ages of eternity. Why not cheer us a bit and give us the rose when the aroma may be enjoyed. What has become of those female organizations whose function is to visit the sick? A few years ago we laid our most costly treasures upon the altar of democracy. It is no fault of ours that we are here, but we came here as a result of protecting a principle, yes, a flag, that in some parts of the southland is one of stripes and whose star of glory has never shown for us. We remembered you when in the Marboch Sector, St. Pie, Argonne and the Vosges Mountains, so don't forget us now. No wounds received at the front are half so horrible and ghastly as those from desertion and loss of morale. So come out and give us the once-over; visiting days are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; hours: two to five; seven to eight. H. F. BOUYER, Ward "Y" REV. C. M. TANNER CALLED TO CHICAGO Rev. C. M. Tanner, for several years pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church of this city, and recently called to Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., has now been called to the largest church in the denomination, Bethel Church in Chicago, Ill. This church is commonly called "Big Bethel" because of its very large membership. Bishops Coppins and Carey were instrumental in securing Dr. Tanner for this church. It is proposed to build a great cathedral in the heart of the masses of the pepole in Chicago. The bishops believe that Dr. Tanner is the man for the job. Dr. Tanner has long been connected with the church and has pastored some of the largest churches in the East and South. He is the son of Bishop Tanner and entered the ministry in 1893. While pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church here, he made an enviable presence in all lines of activity. New Grocery Opened The Peoples' Grocery Company opened a store at 8th and Florida Avenue, Saturday, in the building formerly occupied by the Douglass Cooperative League. Mrs. C. A. Harris will manage the store and she will carry groceries, vegetables, meats and fresh fruits. The place presents a clean and sanitary appearance. Mrs. Harris says that she feels that women can carry on business as well as men and that she has already passed her expectations for the first week. The Douglass Cooperative League did an excellent business on that corner last year, and Mrs. Harris believes that she can do likewise. Mrs. U. S. Brooks is assisting her. Office: 920 U St., N. W. MANY EXPECTED TO ATTEND MASS IN ANACOSTIA Large Chorus Will Sing During the Open Air Services Plans have been completed by Rev. Franz M. W. Schneeweiss, Rector of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, for the First Annual Field Mass to be celebrated Sunday morning (September 24th) at 10:30 o'clock, on the campus of the church at 15th and Morris Road, southeast (Anacostia). Cars marked Congress Heights and Anacostia, D C., will run regularly within walking distance of the church. The Altar for the celebration of the Mass has been set on a platform which is used for Boxing bouts at Walter Reed Hospital. The platform has been donated bythe Knights of Columbus, through Charles O'Donnell, General Secretry. Members of many colored organizations have signified their intent of attending the Mass in a body. The Colored Boy Scouts of the District of Columbia will form a guard of honor to the possession. Other organizations, such as the Knights of St. Augustine, the Holy Name Society, the Knights of St. Cyprian, the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, the Oldest Inhabitants Association, the American Legion, the Colored branch of the Young Men's Christian Association and many other civic and Fraternal Organizations have been invited and have accepted invitations to attend in bodies and in uniforms. Rev. Franz M. W. Schneeweiss, Rector of the Church will sing the Mass. Rev. P. T. McAllister, O. P. will serve as Deacon and the sermon will be preached by Rev. M. J. Riordan, Rector of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Father Riodan has just returned from a trip to Europe, where he visited the Holy Father, witnessed the Passion Play at Oberameragau and visited Sant Domingo. The music for the Mass will be sung by the St. Cyprian's Choral Society and the Mixed Choir of the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The Sisters and the ladies of the congregation have beautifully decorated the altar with palms and flowers and the setting is very picturesque. Several bands of music have promised to attend in uniform and several other uniformed organizations will be present. At the end of the Mass there will be the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The people of the parish expect fully ten thousand persons at the ceremonies. LOCAL TALENT GIVES GREAT RADIO CONCERT The first radio concert given by colored artists in Washington was broadcasted Monday from the Thomas P. Williams' broadcasting station on New York Ave., N. W., and was picked up as a special concert in the Lincoln Theater. The radio concert was under the direction of Mr. Louis N. Brown and consisted of selections by an orchestra of seven pieces, including the Miller Brothers, William Nixon, Harry White and Alvin Campbell; Dr. Summer Wormley, baritone soloist, Miss Virginia Williams, soprano soloist and Mr. James Brooks, tenor soloist furnished the vocal numbers. So pleasing was the music that several long distance phone messages were received from Louisville, Ky., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Schenectady, N. Y., asking for a repetition of several of the numbers. It is expected that another concert by this group will be given soon. Circulation Books Open To All RECORD Over 19,017 Students Register During First Three Days ALL SCHOOLS CROWDED Percentage of Enrollment of Colored Children is Very High The reports coming in Thursday morning gave 61,900 children as having enrolled in the schools the first three days of this year; 19,017 of whom were enrolled in the colored schools. This is the largest number in the history of the system for the first three days, and the officials are at a loss to know if it means the earlier entrance of older pupils or the additional increase of new pupils. All the schools are crowded beyond their capacity. The large enrollment at Miner Normal is attracting attention. Since married women are admitted to the Normal school, the question arises: Is it a natural increase of young women devoting themselves to the teaching profession, or is the increase accounted for by the entrance of married women? Thursday the reports gave 211 for the teachers' course and 254 practice students, making a total of 465. Last year the total was 365. At Dunbar High all records are broken—1,524 were registered there at the close of the Wednesday session against 1401 on the same day last year. This school was built to accommodate 1,200 pupils. More than 300 above capacity already, with no relief in sight for this year. Armstrong reported 1,020 for the first three days this year against 790 for the same day last year. This school was built to accommodate 600 students and now has more than 400 above capacity. There is a falling off at the O Street Vocational and the Cardoza Vocational when compared with last year. Wednesday's enrollment gave only 84 this year at O Street against 228 last year and 40 at Cardoza this year against 60 last year. The Shaw Junior High continues its popularity, having enrolled 380 the third day this year against 359 last year. Miss Minneola Kirkland, the new principal, is adjusting herself to the new situation and preparing for an enrollment of more than 400. The following are the enrollment figures for the elementary schools by divisions. The first figures are for this year and the second for the same day last year. Each division shows an increased enrollment over last year: Tenth division 4,763 and 4,139; Eleventh division, 4,622 and 4,281; Twelfth division, 1,321 and 1,108 and the Thirteenth division 4,798 and 4,393. The total enrollment in the colored schools reported Thursday morning was 19,017 against 17,124 on the corresponding day last year, an increase of 1,893. An interesting feature of the present enrollment shows that there are more colored children in school when compared with the population of the District than there are white children, based on the 1920 Census. There is one colored child for every five and three quarters colored persons, while there is only one for every seven and three quarters of the white population. LIBERIAN LOAN The loan for Liberia has attracted a deal of attention in the Senate this week. The Wilson Administration promised the Liberian Government a loan of $5,000,000 if they would enter the war on the Allies' side. They entered and about $30,000 of this amount was advanced for the delegation to attend the Peace Confernee in Paris. Senator Borah objected to the loan on the ground that Liberia would get (Continued on page 8) they are surprised to know that there are such people in the world who make a hobby of collecting stamps, that stamp collecting is of such great scope, of the beauty of the thing, and of the immense value that can be embraced in a good collection of used postage stamps. Yet they always seem highly interested at the story, and ask question after question in an effort to learn more about it. Mention the matter of stamp collecting to white folk and no explanation is needed, as stamp collecting is a most popular fad among them, and they are naturally already enlightened about it. The writer is very anxious to organize a stamp collectors' club among people of Washington, and if there are any boys, girls or grownups among us who would like to take up stamp collecting as a pastime, he will start them on the road by presenting them with 60, all different, foreign stamps, free, if they will send their names and addresses or call in person for them. They will be surprised how easily they can add specimens to their collection after they have begun their collection. Stamps can be secured from friends by trading with fellow-collectors, and by various means. A word of explanation for those who do not know. Stamp collecting is the most popular and most fascinating fad of any, and numbers its adherents in the hundreds of thousands. service not be duplicated. r hour Touri 0c City Proper Give us a trial on our quick service --- That's why a CLASSIFIED AD in THE TRIBUNE will Rent your Vacant Room for you in less time than it takes you to put your sign out.

The Washington Tribune Newsy and Reliable at all Times 920 U St., N. W. Phone North 6554-w ARE YOU INTERESTED IN STAMP COLLECTING Editor Washington Tribune: Being a postage stamp collector and dealer, I have been trying to ascertain the names and addresses of any and all colored stamp collectors in the city, with a view to organizing a stamp collectors' club, for the mutual association and advancement of the members in this popular hobby. Recently, through the kindness of the Tribune, the editor inserted a notice in his paper that all colored collectors in the city send their names and addresses to me. Not a single name did I get, hence I was left to imagine that there are none. I was greatly surprised to find this scarcity of philatelists, as stamp collectors are known scientifically, among us, when there are many millions of them throughout the world, in every country under the sun and many thousands right here in this city. Seemingly all here are white. Outside of myself, I know of but one other colored collector, and he is not an active one; he it was that started me off in the great pastime. I have occasion at times to mention to colored folk about stamps and stamp collectors, and—almost invariably— T Phone Main 94 or Franklin 600 Cheapest Taxi Rates in the City BROWN & GREEN TAXICAB CO. there who amps, great and emused always story, in an Men-ng to n is most they ad a- in every country under the sun. A stamp collector's object is to get one stamp of every kind that has ever been issued by every country in the world. There are postage stamp albums laid off alphabetically by countries, and the allotted space under each country heading is ruled to have a certain space for each stamp that that country has issued from its first postage stamp up to the present time. A collector wants to get the stamp that goes in the particular space ruled off for it, and the chase of finding these missing stamps is what provides the fascination and enjoyment. and best known men are collectors. Among them is the present king of England. Some collections are valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are many stamp clubs—local and national—but, like everything else among them, colored membership is barred. Start a stamp collection today and let us have a stamp club. Remember, I'll give you sixty foreign stamps to start you off. WM. H. WILKERSON, Jr., 778 Irving St., N.W. ALPHA PHI ALPHA ESTABLISHES CHAPTER AT A stamp collection—properly arranged—is a thing of great beauty and value, and the envy of all friends to whom it is shown. For you surely will not have a common-place something. For stamps themselves in their brilliant colors and many pretty designs—are very beautiful. They teach one all about the history of countries, for—unconsciously—he—he learns from the designs and pictures thereon of the names of the rulers, the various kinds of moneys, of the rise and fall of mighty empires, of internal changes and revolutions, and many, many other facts worth knowing. Stamp collecting is a recognized science, not a mere occupation of boys and girls. The great bulk of collectors are adults; the boy and girl collectors are simply the great collectors of the future. Many of the world's great James M. Miller, Mgr. and best known men are collectors. Among them is the present king of England. Some collections are valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are many stamp clubs—local and national—but, like everything else among them, colored membership is barred. Start a stamp collection today and let us have a stamp club. Remember, I'll give you sixty foreign stamps to start you off. WM. H. WILKERSON, Jr., 778 Irving St., N.W. ALPHA PHI ALPHA ESTABLISHES CHAPTER AT DENVER COL. Denver, Colorado:—The Alpha-Iota Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, comprising the University of Colorado, Denver University and Colorado College, has just been set apart at Denver, Colorado by Attorney Claude A. Jones, of Kansas City, who bore credentials from the National President of the Fraternity, Simeon S. Booker, of Baltimore, Maryland, and National Secretary, Norman L. McGhee, of Washington, D. C. Attorney Jones was assisted in connection with the chapter by Rev. A. W. Ward, Father H. E. Rahming, Messrs. Harold Brown, Hamilton and White, members of the Fraternity residing in that section. Most impressive ceremonies were conducted by the representatives of the Alpha Phi Alpha in establishing the first chapter of the Fraternity in the State of Colorado. Much interest was shown by the college men who composed the group applying for admission as a chapter. The personnel of the Alpha-Iota Chapter is composed of the leading Negro college men attending the schools comprising the chapter. The chapter roll is as follows: James D. Hine, President; Charles D. Taylor, Vice President; Aristide Grant Chapman, Secretary; Morgan Maxwell, Cor. Secretary; William D. Fountain, Treasurer; Charles L. Howard, Chaplain; George W. Grahame, Sergeant-at-Arms; the other members being Valaurez B. Spratlin, John A. Waller, Ucecil Maxwell, and Theodore M. Von Dickersohn. (Amzi Hamilton) American race prejudice is so stupid. The United States refuses social recognition to Negroes as such, yet sends the Secretary of State aboard a first-line battleship to convey our national greetings to Brazil, ignoring the fact that many of his hosts will be Negroes. During the war Indians, Hawaiians, Hindoos, Filipinos, Mexicans and men of every other dark-skinned race served with white troops; but the moment a man of light complexion admitted he was a Negro he was stuck aside with Negro troops. One officer of light complexion had detectives put on his trail in a Northern city because he was seen on the streets with his brown-skinned wife. After the war the United States Signal Corps made a composite face of the men in the Army taken from the representative types of some nine different races, many dark; but the Negro race was not included—except for working, fighting and dying in the white man's war the Negro was not a part of the Army. Negroes cannot enter American professional baseball leagues, but if the manager can camouflage them as Indians or Cubans the white public having saved its face is satisfied. In short, it is all right to have Negro blood in your veins if you just do not look too much like a Negro and if you will deny that you are one. American race prejudice is so foolish. In order to make the United States a white man's country it is trying to shut the native Negroes out of national life. Yet the United States is so consantly reaching out for more dark peoples: Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, Cuba, the Canal Zone, Guam, Samoa, the Virgin Islands, Haytai, Santo Domingo, and now Liberia. England is a white man's country in spite of its colonies, but England's history furnishes no analogy for the United States. The most important of England's colonies are white, at least as to the governing class. Further, England has no great black mass at home threatening to disrupt an already heterogeneous population such as the United States has. On the other hand, the lands the United States is reaching out for are not savage lands but lands in which black men have reached a high state of civilization, have had control of most of the local affairs, and—most important of all—have had no intimate contact with race prejudice. Inevitably these black men will be driven into the arms of the American black man, just that many more black spikes in the coffin of white supremacy in this country. American race prejudice is so blind. (Continued on page 3) Hours 8 to 6 North 9917 Dr. Robert L. Peyton Surgeon Dentist 1918 Eleventh Street, N. W. Are You Planning To Get Married?

Moreover in spite of everything our history shows that we are rising. The furnace of race prejudice is tempering the steel in our backbones to a finer mettle than anynigir the white race has. $1 Students' Corner THE UKULELE The ukulele is growing in popularity more with each succeeding year. It is conveniently carried and easy to play providing one knows how. If a string breaks, get a set of ukulele strings but better still are violin strings, two E's and two A's. The second banjo (gut) string is often used in place of the violin E string. How to String For the first string use a violin E string; for the second string use a violin A string; for the third string string use a violin A string; and for the fourth string use a violin E string. How to Tune the Ukulele Ukulele methods offer two ways of tuning but both are sufficient unto themselves for harmonizing. The manner of tuning is done one of two ways, either by the piano or by pitch-pipe and fretting. By the piano, tune each string to its corresponding tone on the piano as follows: 1st string—B; 2nd string—F sharp; 3rd string—D; and, fourth string—A. To tune by fretting, begin by tuning the third string in unison with D on the piano, or pitch-pipe, then press the fourth fret of the second string and tune the second string in unison, then press the third fret of the second string and tune the fourth string in unison, and then press the second fret of the fourth string and tune the first string in unison. After a short time the ear will become accustomed to the intervals and it will only be necessary to tune the fourth string "A" to the same tone on any instrument; using this string as a base makes it easy to tune the rest. To attest correct tuning, press down the third fret on 1st string and stroke quickly all strings; if the harmony or chording is tuneful, all's well; other one or more strings are off, due to bad ear in tuning or slipping pegs. Cheap ukuleles are hard to keep in tune, because pegs slip easily. Other cases require proper adjustment ere box stays in tune. Remember, nothing sounds good on a ukulele unless it stays tuned-up thoroughly. Keep both hands in an easy position without the slightest rigidity or strain upon any of the muscles. Assume a natural position and if sitting, cross right leg, resting lower end of ukulele in neck of thigh-joint. Left hand—Place the tip of the thumb at about the center of the back of the ukulele neck. Do not rest the neck in the palm of your hand. The fingers should curve naturally over the finger-board ready to press down lightly with the tips. Never allow the nails to come in contact with the strings as they have a tendency to cut them. Never press down directly on the frets, always just back of them, the frets, always just back on them. Right hand—Let the middle of the forearm press the back edge of the ukulele to your body, holding it firmly but not too tight, so that you may be able to play either in a standing or sitting position. The Strokes There are many strokes but the Common Stroke is the base of all, made with the fore-finger of the right hand, running it rapidly across all the strings The down-stroke should be made squarely on the nail of the finger and the up-stroke with the fleshy part of the finger, but not on the side; always even and smooth. such. At the close ofthe chool term in May of this year, Mr. Hall went to Chicago Musical College, recently completing a course there. He plays not only the piano but several other musical instruments. Those of us who arrive will have conquered the worst and be prepared for anything. How will race prejudice be able to check us then when it could not hold us down when we were down? The way to stop us is to kill us with kindness, but white race prejudice would never stand for that. It goes on preparing pits for us to fall in, not realizing it is digging its own grave.

Many fans lament the fact that there is no colored team here of the caliber of the Hillsdales, Black Sox and others. For years the people of Washington haye had to content themselves with the undeveloped situation as it exists here. They have. been denied the priviledge of seeing the big colored teams in action, except in rare instances when these teams come here like the Bacharachs and Japaneese did last week. While there has been much talking done about a first class team here, there has on the other hand been very little effort put forth by anyone to make such a team possible here. Generally speaking, the west has far out- stripped the east in the development of base ball among our people. Rube Foster and the late C. I. Taylor are possibly more responsible for the rapid development of the west than anybody else, The east has lagged far behind and Washington seems to be farther behind than any other cify in the east. Now the question is why should this condition be true? In size of colored population Washington ranks about third in the east, only Philadephia and New York City having a larger number. Every advan- tage for a base ball team is here, more so than practically any other city in the country. In the first place Sunday base ball is permissible and second, during the main part of the season, the Government employees, who form the majority of the working people here, and numerous business houses give their help a half holiday on Saturday. ‘This would give a ball club two days a week under the most advantageous circumstances. ‘The only disadvantage facing the placing of a club here is the lack of a properly enclosed park. While good sites are not in abundance, there is one or two good places that may be obtained for such purpose. With a regular park, there is no doubt that a good team would be successful here and with the proper spirit among the local men, a good park can be secured with the outlay of a very inconsiderable sum, Washington is strategically located. A league in the east is bound to come; and without Washington, this league will be incomplete. Washington is also the breaking point between the north and south and also is close enough to Pittsburgh to make it possible for Western teams to jump from that city here and then play the eastern cities right in a row without any serious breaks. Therefore, a good ball club here is sure to make money if properly financed and managed. ‘As a producer of ball players Washington ranks first. There are now over| 15 Washington boys playing on the various big teams, and most of them are are away because there is no oportunity here for them. Also there is plenty of local talent that could easily be devoloped. The Departmental league and other sand lot teams would be a regular training ground for a big team here. Washington practically holds the key to the development of base ball in Richmond and Norfolk, because by having to jump over Washington, the big teams of the east find it unprofitable to play these towns. Will the progressive business men awake to the opportunity that now. awaits them and capitalize this idea before people of the other race seize upon and forever close this door in their face. Mr Andrew Allen, manager of the LeDroit Tigers is a tireless advocate of placing a big team here and has done much this year to establish a high standard of ball. His team ould be used as a neuclus around which a good team could be built. © JUNIOR SERIES STANDING W. L Pet.

B ONE FAULT OF THE SERIES The recent games between the Bu- reau and General Accts., for the championship of the Departmental League brought out some yery inter- esting facts regarding the managing endsof teams and the League. The errors of commission and omission by those haying chargé of conducting the series were so flagrant that some mention must be made especially of the umpiring. The first mistake ‘made was the selecting of just one man to umpire the first day. The officials should have known by past experience that each play, would be bitterly contested and that it would be humanly impossible for one man to properly see every play and that the importance of the games demanded more than one um- pire. However, Fish Barbour, the man selected, did almost the imposs- ible thing by umpiring an almost per- fect game. The second day, Mr. Bar- bour was given the needed assistance of Mr. Danny Desport, one of the best arbitrators in the East who was assigned to the bases. Mr. Barbour went behind the bat. Although there were some squabbles, in each instance, the umpires were correct and as a whole, the umpiring was of the high- est order, On the third and last day, just before starting the game, the| players, who seemed to have been! running things themselves, decided that they did not want Mr. Barbour and Mr. Desport with whom they had no just fault to find, and hereupon, went into the grandstands and se- lected two unknown and untried men to call the decisions. Naturally this, brought on some trouble much to the disgust of the fans and some of the players although the men selected did the best they could. It is just this kind of stuff that is keeping the baseball here 15 years be- hind other cities. ‘The managers: of the teams either ought to manage the | clubs or get down; the officials of the Departmental League ought to see to it that the managers conduct their teams properly. and obey orders,” or these officials, in justice to the players and especially to the public, should re- sign and permit men who have the knowledge and courage to do these things to be selected. Who is the cause of the squabbling on the teams? The managers, of course. Therefore if these managers permit squabbling and in many cases themselves join it, then the responsi bility of stopping it or banishing the managers and rowdy players is en- tirely up to the Departmental Leaigtc officials. The three game series at the American League Park is but typical of what happens nearly every after- noon during the League’s season or the Monument Lot. It is time that the players ané managers realize that the public ha: somehing to say about their conduct on the field. It is time that th League officials realize that if they are to advance baseball they will have to demand respec for their authority from the managers and players. When this is done we will have a sereis that will not be marred by a lot of cheap arguing and unsportsmanlike conduct on the field as we witnessed this week. GEYERAL ACCOUNTS WIN ClAMPIONEHIP The General Accounts’ team won the championship of ‘the Departmental League this week by taking two out of three games from the Bureau team at the American League Park. Each game was bitterly contested but the General Accounts demonstrated con- clusively that they had the best team, ‘The pitching of Mantyne Harris was ‘a feature of the series. ‘The first game was a pitcher’s battle between Harris and Punch in which Harris had the better of the argu- ment. The General Accounts won by the close score of 6 to 5. The Bureau team had three men on base when the third out was made in the last inning. The second game was a tie affair with Adams pitching for the Bureau and C. Fells for the General Accts, The Bureau was leading by two scores up to the sixth inning, but the General Accts. managed to tie it up by hard playing before darkness ended the game in the eighth. The score was 2 to 2. Harris and Punch were again, the pitchers for the third game, but Punch was unable to stand the grind any longer than seven innings and gave way to Adams; Harris going the full route. The General Accounts won by the score of 5 to 1. The attendance at all three games was very poor. ROAMER A. C.

Toward the end of September when the days get cool and short and dreary; when all the boys hurry home at twilight to sit and gaze into the glow of the fire; when little girls rush home from outdoor playing and get out their dolls and picture books and play for half an hour; when mother calls and there is a clamoring to tell what has been learned during the day; when daddy comes and helps with the morrow's work; when the evening prayer is said; when mother takes brother by the hand and daddy takes sister upon his back, and tired bodies and minds and weary eyes seek rest Oh, boy, vacation days were never like school days. Now that this glorious of all times with its hours of learning new things, with its recess time of jollity and fun, with its merry holiday seasons, let us make two resolutions which we live up to: To study hard and faithfully; To honor and be proud of my race. Make school time count, always remembering that in the years when you have become men and women your chances of success will be in proportion to the education you have acquired. MY NEW TEACHER I just love my new teacher, She's a pippin you can bet; She calls the girlies dearies, She tells me I'm her pet. She wears a pleasant cherry smile, It's surely cute and winning I study hard just to please her — Ive made a grand beginning. She never keeps in after school, She never yells nor fuses, She doesn't ever whip a chap When he accidently cusses. She is a scrumptious little Miss, The big boys call her flapper Because her hair is all bobbed off— And she dresses charm and dame That some day I'll be great Instead of reaching school at ten I'm always there at eight. I didn't like her much at first But now I like her better I rush to do just what she says And mind her to the letter. —C. Leslie Frazier If you contemplate sending in answers to puzzles and questions be sure you have read the conditions in the list under the caption of "The Prize Winners." EDITOR'S CHAT The world has its eyes on Turkey and India. They are the world problems of the day. It is history repeating itself. It is a matter of weak peoples resenting injustices heaped upon them by the stronger peoples; it is the world old battle of races against races. Perhaps the followers of Ghandi in India and the followers of Mustapha Kemal in Turkey will go down in defeat—but those who fight and die in their struggles today will only be inspiration to those generations that follow. It is all a very good sign to the peoples of the darker races. Read of the events that are now happening today. While reading look at the affairs in such a way as to give the darker races the benefit of the doubts sometimes. Before me I have a paper containing so-called dispatches issued, of course, by a white syndicate. Of the four columns of the "massacres" and other "atrocities" (almost as heinous as the American lynching bees) little is given to other than emphasizing the brutality, murdering and looting done by the Turks. In another paper the lone paragraph starts one to wondering, weighing and thinking about the many unfair statements given out by the majority of the white press service concerning our own race. The paragraph is as follows: The paragraph is as follows. "The Turks are said to have started the massacres after the inhabitants of the city (Smyrna) had, for several days given them provocation. During this period the Turks were under perfect control." Turkey is not as bad as she is painted; neither is India, Japan, Mexico, Chile, Haiti, the heathen (?) of Africa, or the black "citizens" of the United States. This article is written to try to lay stress on the fact that no child need be ashamed of his or her race because it is not white. Keep in touch with the affairs of the world; keep alert as to what the darker races are doing; carry one's self so as to demand the respect of all; be proud. Love your race, live for it and if need be—fear not to die for it. FOUR NEGRO HEROES There are facts in American history pertaining to Negroes which if these same men were white, every school child would know them. There was Crispus Attucks, the first to die for the liberty of America when he and three others were killed by British soldies, in the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770. An unknown Negro was the first man killed in the city of Baltimore in 1861 when the Federal troops were mobbed there en route to the front at the beginning of the Civil war "A Virginian of Accomac County, fell at the same moment or a second or two before a white sailor on the torpedo boat Winslow, in the harbor of Cardennas, May 11, 1898, in the Spanish-American war. This man's name was Eliiah B. Tunnell. There was George C. Hudnell the first man to lose his life in the Mexican invasion in 1916 in the search for Villa, the Mexican rebel leader. Hudnell had been a member of the Tenth Cavalry for twenty years. His remains were buried on a ranch 250 miles south of the Mexican border. Is this a record to be ashamed of? A race that can produce such men as these—is it a race to be ashamed of? What would your answer be were you asked, "Are you proud of your race?" LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: You call us Tribunites. I have a name for your work. I am going to call it "Frazierism." One night this week my father said that now that school is about to start I would have to give my time to study and would have to cut out books and papers and that Frazierism stuff. I like it because it makes me feel so proud of my race. I heard a friend say she could read the whole page filled with letters. I like the letters but I like things about the race better. This is my second letter to you so I hope you will like it. CORA WASHINGTON (Age ?) (Dear Cora: You failed to say whether dad was teasing you or whether he was scolding. Stuff isn't a bad word. There is good stuff and bad stuff and I hope your dad considers the contents of the Page as being mostly good.—Ed) Dear Mr. Frazier I thank you ever so much for putting my gem on the Page. I am sending in answers to puzzles of the week's work. I hope they are right. I am sending in a puzzle for the children to work out. FANNIE A.

X Turn it up, and, oh my, you'll see How daddy frowns at sis and me When we've something naughty done Or played a joke on him for fun. Each boy and girl who has a big desire to go to college looks forward to joining some college fraternity, because of the many opportunities it offers to keep in touch with the most intellectual group of college men and women. That the fraternity idea has taken deep root in the life of Negro college men and women in the United States is evidenced by the continued growth and expansion of the fraternity organizations among this group in the American colleges and universities. Beginning in 1906 with the founding of the Alpha Phi Alpha at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, today there are four national greek letter fraternities, three college sororities, three men's professional fraternities, and two women's professional sororities among Negro college men and women. It is of interest to note that with the exception of the Alpha Phi Alpha and the Kappa Alpha Psi each of these fraternities and sororities had its origin among the students of the Howard University. 7 The rapid growth of fraternity life among Negro college students is indicated by the large number of chapters which the organizations have at the leading colleges and universities throughout the United States. The Alpha Phi Alpha, the oldest fraternity among Negro college men, has a chapter roll numbering forty-two, having a chapter at practically every important college and university in the United States, stretching from Harvard University at Cambridge, Mass., to the University of California at Berkeley, Calif. The Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is the oldest sorority among Negro college women, has twenty chapters. The next oldest fraternity, the Kappa Alpha Psi, which was organized at Indiana University in 1910, has a roll of some twenty-eight chapters. The Omega Psi Phi, the first college fraternity to be organized at a university primarily for Negro students, has since its organization in 1911 increased its roll to twenty chapters. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority since its organization in 1913 has carried its influence to many of the leading co-educational institutions throughout the United States, having now a chapter roll of nineteen. The youngest of thenational college fraternities is the Phi Beta Sigma. Its youth, however, has not interfered with its influence and growth since it has since its founding in 1914 set apart twenty chapters at various colleges and universities. The same is true of the youngest sorority, the Zeta Phi Beta, which was organized in 1920 and which now has seven chapters. There has also been rapid growth among the professional fraternities and sororities. Pehaps one of the most helpful activities of the fraternities and sororities is the coming together of their representatives each year in annual conventions. This affords opportunity for the flower of the Negro race from the various sections of the United States to get acquainted with each other and formulate common ideals and definite goals in race development. At these conventions not only do the young men and women themselves give expression to their ideas regarding their problems, their obstacles, their failures and their successes but they receive inspiration from the talks they are privileged to have with the large number of leading men and women in attendance who form the honorary membership of their organizations. EDUCATIONAL CONDITIONS IN COLORED SCHOOLS Mr. W. T. B. Williams, field director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, who studied the educational conditions in 33 private colleges and universities during the past year, makes the following statements: "Today there are five universities and three colleges with more than 100 college students each; Virginia Union with 135; Lincoln, Pa., 220; Wilberforce, 249; Fiske, 273; and Howard, 895; Talladega College, 121; Morehouse College, 135; and Wiley College, 177. In the thirty-three colleges and universities studied this year there are 3264 students of college grade. The proportion of high-school students in these institutions is also on the increase. Nine years ago only thirty-three per cent of the students were in the high school departments. This year the schools show 43 per cent in these departments. On the other hand, the number of students in the elementary grades in these schools is on the decrease. "A significant change in the teaching force is also taking place in these colored schools of the higher grades. In 1913 there were only 59 more colored than white teachers in the 22 Negro universities. In 1922 there are 269 white and 175 colored teachers. Of these 984 teachers, 193 hold A. B. degrees, 84 M. A. degrees, and 18 Ph.D degrees from standard colleges, while 151 have A.B. degrees and 29 M.A. degrees from colored colleges only." NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA Pennington, J. W.

THREE EXAMPLES OF "RACE SUPERIORITY" The egotism and arrogance of the American white man constantly reminds people of color that he thinks he belongs to a "superior race." The President even gave vent to his feelings in the matter last fall in Birmingham, when he delivered his "Fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference" speech. There are a few Negroes foolish enough to want to "pass for white." But, when we consider the enormous crime and immorality in high places, we have much to be proud of and are really criterious ourselves. lying near each other, under a tree by a lonely lane. Monday morning we read of a respected lawyer, churchman and leading citizen of Richmond, being an rested Sunday night, with another man's wife, in Washington at fashionable apartment house. When arrested, both were thinly clad in the same room. Here we have three examples of the white man's boasted "superiority." In each case the men were spoken of as leaders, as Christian men and all of them professional men—two lawyer and an Episcopal Rector. There is Last Saturday we read of a man "from the first families of Alexandria" a lawyer and esteemed Y. M. C.

They were found, REPUBLICANS AGAIN TURN DOWN NEGRO (Continued from page 1) (From speech by Brigadier General Anson Mills at El Paso, Texas, May 29, 1918. A Major in regiment at time of the trial.) "I am glad of the opportunity my visit to the University Club has given me to express my confidence in the integrity and worth of H. O. Flipper," said Gen. Anson Mills. "I am familiar with the circumstances of the court-martial, was convinced at the time of his innocence and am of like mind today. He now is a resident of El Paso and I feel it a privilege to express to his fellow citizens my confidence in his probity." LIEUT. FLIPPER'S STATEMENT I have always believed I was "railroaded" out of the Army because a Negro, on the undefined charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, under the 61st Article of War, after abandonment of the charge of Embezzlement, under the 60th Article, and trial and acquittal of constructive Embezzlement under sections 5488 et seq. of the Revised Statutes, preferred by Colonel William R. Shafter of the First U. S. Infantry in 1881. When first placed under arrest and told that charges would be preferred against me, I applied to Colonel Shafter for a court of inquiry to make an investigation, but he preemptorily refused it. The animus in the charges is shown by the fact that, in violation of Army Regulations and the customs of the service, I was confined for four days in the month of August in a cell $4\frac{1}{2}$ x $6\frac{1}{2}$ feet in the Post Guard House at Fort Davis, Texas with an armed guard watching over me with orders not to lose sight of me at any time; that, when the Department Commander, General C. C. Augur, learned of the facts, he at once ordered me taken out of the Guard House. Not to be balked, Colonel Shafter had me confined in my quarters, the windows boarded up and an armed sentinel placed at the only entrance, and exit. Nothing was omitted that could add to my disgrace and humiliation, while the press of the country was supplied with every idle story that my enemies could invent While in the Guard House, my quarters were ransacked and everything of value carried away by Lieut. Louis Wilhemi, Colonel Shafter's Adjutant, and by Colonel Shafter's orders. No effort was made to protect my interests, and my property has never been returned to me in full. How much of the missing funds, that led to the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman disappeared then and by those means? The government itself lost nothing, as full and complete restitution was made. The Article of War prescribing dismissal for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, does not define that offense, nor is it defined elsewhere in the legislation of the country. In his annual Report for 1881, the Judge Advocate General of the Army said: "The offenses which are usually held to constitute conduct unbecoming a officer and a gentleman are not clearly defined by the law, and the cour. lying near each other, under a tree by a lonely lane. Monday morning we read of a respected lawyer, churchman and leading citizen of Richmond, being arrested Sunday night, with another man's wife, here in Washington at a fashionable apartment house. When arrested, both were thinly clad in the same room. Here we have three examples of the white man's "boasted "superiority." In each case the men were spoken of as leaders, as Christian men and all of them professional men—two lawyers and an Episcopal Rector. There is certainly nothing in these cases to inspire, to awe or to boast of as people of "superiority." Could we take cognizance of the fact that the Negro in many respects is "superior" to the white man, we would lose much of our false opinion of the white man's supposed "superiority" and thereby lay the foundation for a strong structure of racial consciousness and the building up of race pride. therefore, contrary to the fudamental maxim that a court declares the law but may not make it, in such cases legislates as to what shall or shall not be defined criminal under this article "The article, therefore, is construed to deal out unknown punishments for unknown and undefined crimes and offenses, while yet the truth of the maxim, it is a miserable slavery where the law is vague or uncertain, has long been recognized and judicially sanctioned in this country." The most damning feature of my case, however, is to be found in the fact that the Judge Advocate who tried me was Acting Judge Advocate General of the Department, on whose recommendations the Department Commander ordered and detailed the court; the reviewing officer, on whose recommendation the proceedings were approved, and, in fact, that they were never actually reviewed, in the meaning of the law, by any of the various authorities whose duty it was to do so, beyond perfunctorily attaching their signatures to recommedations based soley on that of the prosecuting officer in his capacity as reviewing authority. I was dismissed in 1882. I have had several bill introduced in Congress for my relief, but have never found any friend in that body who would take interest enough in the case to push it, and the complexion of Congress itself has not always been such as to invite a serious effort. In each instance my restoral to the service has been blocked by officers of the Army under the specious pleas that they did not want to serve under a Negro officer, but this objection no longer holds, as if restored and placed onthe retired list, I shall have no command. My career in civil life, since leaving the Army, has been honorable and successful. I have surveyed public lands in Mexico for American companies under concessions from that government; have been a Deputy United States Mineral Surveyor in Arizona; have engaged in the general practice of civil and mining engineering and law in Mexico; have held important positions with American mining companies in Mexico and am now the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Sierra Mining Company with offices at 120 Broadway, New York; was special Agent of the Department of Justice and rendered excellent service in the Mexican and Spanish Land Grant litigations in the southwest; have been a member of the National Geographic Society for many years; was interpreter and translator to the sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations investigating Mexican Affairs, and am now Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Interoir. I was unwittingly caught in a trap that had been skillfully and adroitly set for me. I was well aware that efforts were being made to bring about my ruin and dismissal from the Army. I had ample warning from civilians about the Post, who had reported to me what they overheard officers say about me. I, myself, several times caught Lieutenant Louis Wilhemi, 1st Infantry, the Post Adjutant, prowling about my quarters and prying into my windows at unseemly hours of the night. I entertained no fear on this account, as I kept my personal conduct always above reproach. The blow came, however, in a way that was wholly unexpected, and, for a long time, I did not realize how it had been worked out. I was Acting Assistant Quartermaster and Acting Commissary of Subsisence of the Post at Fort Davis, Texas, by appointment of Major N. B. McLaughlin of my regiment, the then Commanding Officer of the Post. Colonel W. R. Shafter of the First Infantry subsequently relieved Major McLaughlin and one of his first acts was to inform me that I would be relieved just as soon as he found another officer for the place. He did not, however, relieve me. and old not mind time I had spent a single penny of it for any purpose whatever. Surrounded on all sides, as I was, by enemies who were seeking to encompass my downfall, and with no friends to whom to go to for counsel or assistance, whatever I said and did after I was entrapped was said and done for the sole purpose of gaining time with the hope of saving myself. Like a drowning man I grasped at every straw I saw floating on the surface of the water, and even then I was tried and convicted of a crime that is not defined anywhere in any statute, as stated over and over again by the Judge Advocate General of the As Quartermaster I had charge of all the buildings in the Post; the transportation, consisting of wagons, teams, pack animals and equipment; feed and forage for the Quartermaster's animals and Cavalry mounts; fuel and water supply; clothing, footwear and headgear for troops; a large force of civilian employees, teamsters, packers, post saddler, blacksmith, carpenter, etc., and the monthly pay roll was large. I handled many times more money as Quartermaster than as Commissary and there was never any question about its management. I had a civilian clerk in this department and a Commissary Sergeant in the Commissary. These two men did practically all the office work in the two departments. In the Commissary my personal work was limited to bearing the responsibility and signing the statements and reports made out and placed on my desk by the Commissary Sergeant. Every Sunday morning I signed a weekly statement of funds on hand and counted the funds to see that the amount agreed with hte amount on the statement. I then carried the funds and the statement to Colonel Shafer for his inspection, but neither he nor I had any possible means of knowing anything about them beyond the fact that the amount of funds handed me by the Commissary Sergeant was the amount on the statement, nor could we have known unless we had personally made the sales and received and kept the cash. It was impossible to tell whether the Commissary Sergeant issued rations to the troops, sold supplies to the officers families and kept the accounts. He collected and handled all the funds and also controlled the only safe in the office. The funds consisting of cash and officers' checks were remitted by me monthly to the Cheif Commissary of Subsistence at San Antonio, Texas. The amount remitted each month rarely exceeded one hundred and fifty ($150) dollars. I spent but little time in the Commissary, as the Quartermaster's Department required my personal attention to a greater extent than did the Commissary. The Chief Commissary at San Antonio wied me not to remit any funds until further orders from him, as he was leaving on a tour of inspection of all the commissaries in the Department. During the period of suspension of remittances the commissary funds accumulated and the inspection was suspended. This fact was taken advantage of in laying the trap for me. As a first step, the Commissary Sergeant advised me that the safe in his office was not a secure place in which to keep the funds. He used it for his books and it was kept open practically all the time. It did not occur to me then that the funds had been kept in it safely for more than a year, along with the books. Although the money could have been kept in this safe as well as not, I innocently mentioned the matter to Colonel Shafter at one of the weekly inspections in his office, where I carried the funds and weekly statements for that purpose and not in my office. He then told me to keep the funds in my own quarters in my trunk and I just as innocently and unsuspectingly transferred them to my quarters. This was the trap that was laid for me, to get the funds into my quarters, under my personal care, and then steal them from me. All the cash was stolen but the checks were left. If this money had been stolen from my office, it would have been more difficult, if not impossible, to fix the theft on me. I occupied one of a double set of quarters with a common entrance. First Lieutenant C. E. Nordstrum of my troop, occupying the other set. The doors of our quarters were never locked, being officers quarters and inside a military post where sentinels were always on duty. I believed at that time that the Post Adjutant, Lieutenant Louis Wilhelmi, or Lieut. Nordstrom, had entered my quarters in my absence and stolen the funds from my trunk, and I have had no reason to change my belief since then. I still believe one or the other of them stole the money. Both were unfriendly to me and I had been several times warned against them. That I had used the funds myself, or that I had in any way been privy to their use, I solemnly denied and still deny and Colonel Shafter, with all the machinery of the Federal Government at his disposal, could not and did not find that I had spent a single penny of it for any purpose whatever. Surrounded on all sides, as I was, by enemies who were seeking to encompass my downfall, and with no friends to whom to go to for counsel or assistance, whatever I said and did after I was entrapped was said and done for the sole purpose of gaining time with the hope of saving myself. Like a drowning man I grasped at every straw I saw floating on the surface of the water, and even then I was tried and convicted of a crime that is not defined anywhere in any statute, as stated over and over again by the Judge Advocate General of the Army in his reports and appeals for a definition. See Annual Report of the Judge Advocate General of the Army for the year ending June 30, 1881. (Continued from page 1) but very little of the money. He said that $1,600,000 would go direct into the hands of Wall Street bankers with another large portion going to England and that Liberia would get less than a million dollars, which would not be of much service to Liberia for her own improvements. If the loan is made there is a provision which provides for the paying of a commission, by the Liberian Government, appointed by the United States to see that this money is spent right and that the loan is repaid. This Government would send twelve white men to Liberia at a cost of $78,000 a year to the Liberian Government, CLASSIFIED CLASSIFIED Miss Nannie H.
