Local WILL OPPOSE A MONUMENT TO NEGRO MAMMIES Southerners Put More Value On Human Slavery than On Virtue SEEK LOCATION IN D. C. United Daughters of the Confederacy Are Fostering The Movement A bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Steadman of North Carolina, and in the Senate by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi to permit the erection of a monument to the "Faitful Colored Mammals of the South" on Government land in the District of Columbia, will meet with strong opposition from all colored people. The bill provides that the Government is to donate the ground while the Jefferson Davis Chapter, No. 1650, United Daughters of the Confederacy, will erect the monument. The only inscription to go on the monument would be these words: "In commemoration of the faithful colored mammals of the South. By the Jefferson Davis Chapter No. 1650, United Daughters of the Confederacy," The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia and other organizations here will bitterly oppose the bill. The bill has been reported out of the Committee on Library in the Senate but has not yet been considered by a similar Committee in the House. The protest issued by the Civic Center Association is as follows: The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia, do hereby earnestly protest against the passage of the bill now pending in the Senate to provide a public site for a statue to be erected to the Black Mammies of the South. The organization composed of women of the South who desire to raise a monument to the former slave women of the black race wish to emphasize their love in a most despicable way. They wish to tell the world through such a representation how much more value they put upon slavery than they place upon virtue. These black mammies who unwittingly helped nurse a generation of men who have lynched by hanging, burning butchering and shooting, over three thousand five hundred colored men and women in the past thirty-five years; a generation of men who instead of grasping the opportunity to enforce law and order and safeguard the homes and lives of the descendants of these black mammies, actually lynched the bill in the Senate of the United States proposed to protect the descendants of the black mammies in their Constitutional rights under the laws of the land. When these faithful black women nursed the infants whose fathers were fighting the men who wolud make them free, little did they think those carefully nursed infants would later be the ones to deny their descendants educational facilities, humiliate them in public conveyances, Jim Crow them in public places deny them the rights of suffrage of American citizens and finally insult their race by proposing a statue to commemorate servitude, in the Capital City of the Nation.

C.,—Dr. John C. Love, of this city, president of the National Association of Colored Fairs, has issued a call for the first annual meeting of the Association to be held at Norfolk, Va., February 22. The Association was organized last August at Norfolk during the meeting of the National Negro Business League, with the idea of a closer co-operation of the colored fair associations, horse show associations and owners of amusement parks and beaches, which for the present will compose its membership. The program at the meeting will include addresses by several well informed and experienced men on subjects that pertain to the various departments connected with the operation of fairs. The Association will also adopt a constitution, and by laws. Steps toward co-ordinating the dates of the various affairs will be taken. COMPANY SHOWS REAL PROGRESS IN ATLANTA Declares Substantial Dividends and Increases its Capital Atlanta, Ga.—What could well be termed the most remarkable gathering of Negro Capitalists ever assembled in America met in Atlanta, Ga., January 16th, 17th, and 18th, 1923, for the semi-annual meetings of the stockholders and directors of The Service Company, and its subsidiary concerns; The Standard Life Insurance Company; and the Citizens Trust Company. The three days were spent by the officers, directors, and stockholders in discussing the affairs of the these three corporations. Men of national reputation journeyed from as far West as New Orleans, Louisiana and from as far East as Washington, D. C., the Capital of the Nation to Atlanta to lend the benefit of their experience to the allied corporations and their subsidiaries. Definite Steps taken in Negro Economic Progress Perhaps the most significant feature of the meeting was the indication of Drive for 1,000 Women Progressing The National Association of Wage Earners, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president, is working with might and main for 1000 members in the District. Domestic workers, unskilled laborers and women of all trades and professions are urged to join in this effort to build up an organization which will effectively protect the interests of millions of hard-working men and women throughout the country. Parlor meetings are now being held in both white and colored homes looking toward the establishment of a District Headquarters, which will be open at all times to wage earners; where they may spend their leisure hours, conduct their social affairs and receive instruction along their particular lines of employment. A profit-sharing factory and mail-order department will also be established which will supply appropriate uniforms for working women. Mrs. Sadie T. Henson is in charge of campaign headquarters at Murray Brothers, 920 U street northwest. --- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 Dr. Norman Getting New Work of Baptist Convention Started A self-appointed committee of our race who have assumed the role of "guardians of the Race" have recently addressed themselves to the Attorney General of the United States in a lengthy, alarming as well as pitiful, appeal to save our race and humanity at large from the effects of the operations carried on by Marcus Garvey and his organization the U. N. I. A. This organization according to the appeal is destined to do more harm to the world than the tyrannical workings of Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, and is so dangerous to society, that it makes the Ku Klux Klan look like a Sunday School organization. The appeal to the Attorney General is indeed a scurrilous document filled from the salutation to the post-script with the most vile generalities, but upon analysis lacks any specific charge that in the remotest way would justify bringing the matter before the Attorney General or justify the Government in taking action against Garvey. The charges as set out in the appeal to the Attorney General read like this: 1. "In 1920 Garvey's supporters The National Baptist Convention of the United States of America, Dr. L. K. Williams, of Chicago, Ill., president, voted unanimously at its 43rd Annual Convention held in St. Louis, Mo., from the 6th to the 11th of December, 1922, to remove the headquarters of the National Public Service Board from Chicago to Washington, D. C., and designated seven branch offices strategically located throughout the country, to co-operate with and function through the national headquarters, Washington, D. C. Dr. M. W. D. Norman was made national superintendent of the several bureaus referred to, throughout the United States, and Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins was made national executive secretary, in charge of the office at Washington. There were nine commissioners appointed for the District of Columbia. The names of the commissioners, in addition to the national superintendent and the national executive secretary, who are also members of the commission, are Dr. George O. Bullock, Dr. William D. Jarvis, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Dr. A. Sayles, Dr. George W. Brent, Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, and Mr. C. F. Murray, manager of the Whitelaw Hotel. Rev. Dr. Albert J. Greene pastor of First Baptist Church Baltimore, Md., was made a member of the commission also. The branch offices or bureaus, with nine commissioners each, are located as follows: New York City, N. Y.; Chicago, Ill.; Memphis, Tenn.; Atlanta, Ga.; New Orleans, La.; Fort Worth, Texas, and Los Angeles, Cal. The Work of the Board The work of the national service board, as stated by the national secretary, follows: First, the board will serve the nation by seeking and cultivating a closer relation between the white and the colored people of the United States. The board will, therefore, hold and cause to be held meetings in different sections of the country to promote a more friendly feeling between the races in the United States. Second, the board will cooperate with the United States Census Bureau in collecting and correcting Baptist statistics, and to assist in circulating correct Baptist statistics and other Baptist information which may be gathered and kept in the office of the executive secretary at Washing- rushed into a tent . . . and sought to do bodily harm . . . and were prevented by the police." 2. "Several weeks ago the Garvey division in Philadelphia caused such a disturbance in a meeting against Garvey that the police disbanded the meeting." 3. "In Los Angeles a distinguished colored citizen who had reported in a paper adversely against Garvey . . . was attacked . . . and only through the help of the police was saved from bodily harm." 4. "A few months ago when some members in Cleveland asked for an accounting of funds a veritable riot took place." 5. "In Pittsburgh after seeking to disturb a meeting conducted by Chandler Owen, Garveyites . . . rushed on the street car after the meeting, seeking to assault him, but were prevented by the police." 6. "When Wm. Pickens . . . was to deliver an address in Canada to expose the Garvey frauds, Garveyites met him on the steps of the church with hands threateningly on their hip pockets, trying to intimidate him." ton. Third, th board will, as far as possible, keep in touch with the legislative, judicial and executive branches of the Federal Government, to the end that the national offices may be in a position to support all questions that may arise from time to time for the good of the race and to oppose all legislation, decisions and appointments that seem to be detrimental to the race. Bulletin to be Published The board was authorized by the National Convention to publish a bulletin, in order to circulate, such information as the board may desire the constituency of the convention and the public generally to know. The jim-crow car laws and other vicious legislation that may arise from time to time will be vigorously opposed by the national officers of the public service board. A list of vacant churches will be kept on file as a matter of information, and a list of all Baptist periodicals and such other information as may be helpful to the constituency of the convention and others desiring to be better informed about the workings of the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America, which represents more than three million members, according to the report of the United States Census Bureau last made public. It is the hope of the board to raise $250,000 to erect a suitable building, to be known as Baptist Headquarters, at the capital of the nation and also to collect an additional $250,000 to carry out the instructions of the convention in fighting unjust discrimination and to carry on the work of the board to which we have above referred. Rev. Dr. Lankins spent two days in New York this week and will accompany Dr. M. W. D. Norman to Chicago Monday to meet a number of influential Baptists from every section of the country, who will hold a conference of great interest to the denomination in Chicago Tusday, February 6. Meeting for February 6th The natinoal commissioners met at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between 12th and 13th streets northwest, at 2 o'clock Friday February 2, to formulate plans for the carrying on of the work of the board, and to send out instructions to the several bureaus throughout the country to which we have above referred. ABYSSINIANS TO STUDY IN AMERICA Chicago,—Three sons of King Ras Tafari, of Abyssinia, successor to King Menelik, have entered Muskingum college, at New Concord, Ohio, to receive an American education as part of the king's progressive program for promoting industry and modern thought in his ancient country, it was disclosed today by Dr. Thomas-Lambie, formerly a missionary worker. Dr. Lambie is in the United States entrusted with the education of the three princes, the obtaining of a typewriter equipped with the 245 Abyssinian characters and negotiations for farm and other modern machinery needed in that country. Negro Business Booming On U Street Survey Shows Street Rapidly Becoming Nation's Greatest A survey of the business of Florida Avenue and U street presents progress in the number of business establishments and offices occupied by race men and women. During the past year a new two-story building was erected in the 1200 block by Mr. Satterwhite and three other buildings were started. A three story building by the National Mutual Association at 11th and U Streets; the two-story Prudential Bank building on Florida Avenue, near 8th street, and the Masonic Temple. Several changes were made during the year. However, the survey shows 137 buildings and offices from New Jersey and Florida Avenues to 14th street, a distance of ten blocks. There are also 38 establishments conducted by white people. Real estate dealers and restaurants head the list with ten each. Physicians, dentists and barbers come next with nine each. Lucky seven is the number of fair dressers and six cleaning and pressing shops. There are five printing establishments, drug stores, and lawyers. Running in fours are the newspapers, expressmen and pool rooms. There are three shoe repairing shops, three notaries, three photographers and three shoe shining shops. Running in pairs are the churches, undertakers, grocers, confectioners, chemical manufacturing establishments, flower stores, insurance offices and taxi cab companies. There are 21 establishments without competition on this street, they are a bank, a bakery, a news stand, a jewelry store, a music store, a book store, millinery, hand laundry, theatre, fish stand, electrical store, upholstering shop, a haberdashery store, optician, employment office, fruit stand, a tailor shop, a manufacturing druggist, a public school, a sign shop and photo frame supply company. This survey tells that there are openings for many other kinds of profitable businesses that could be made a profitable investment in this section of ten blocks of this progressive section. A shoe store would have no competition in this section; a furniture store should pay well; another millinery shop would increase the trade of the present one; a steam laundry in this section is needed; a hardware store should find ready patronage; a department store should attract a large number who have to spend car fare to go down town; a ladies ready to wear shop should make an excellent business on this street and a clothing store should attract a large patronage. Office: 920 U St., N. W. PRICE 5 CENTS Proposed Site In Virginia Is Now Under Fire From Both Sides If Secretary of War Weeks decides to locate the proposed bathing beach for colored people on the Virginia side of the Potomac, it certainly will be against the combined protest of the colored people of Washington and the white people of Virginia. Last Tuesday, Senator Swanson and Representative Moore of Virginia and three white residents of Arlington county, made a formal protest to Secretary Weeks, against locating the beach on the Virginia side. Mr. Weeks told the delegation that he would take their representation under advisement and see what could be done to meet the wishes of the various interests involved. There was no further formal protest made to Mr. Weeks last week by the colored people as the Civic Centers Association has already on file a protest which they made in December before the item was put in the District Appropriation bill. Public sentiment is fast crystalizing against a beach anywhere other than in the Tidal Basin. The colored people of Washingtin help pay for the upkeep of this basin as well as any other group of citizens here, and they are entitled to use the basin as long as it is used for bathing purposes by anyone. Just wen Secretary Weeks will hand down his decision is not known. Ax-Men Operating in Birmingham Birmingham, Ala.—The killing of J. R. Turner, a white man, and the wounding of Lily Bell, a colored woman in the latter's home in the rear of 552 North Twenty-third street, has stirred the police department and a number of white men as nothing else in the history of this city. To add fury to the excitement, a letter was received by a newspaper which indicated that the crime was perpetrated by a band known as the Colored K. K. K., department of Ax Men. The killing of Turner was the fifth of a series of ax killings involving white men and colored women who are staying together. The indications are that the crimes are the work of a band of colored men seeking to stop immorality between the races, with the same methods employed by whites in lynching Negroes. Although the police department is arresting people by the wholesale, they have not as yet been able to find a possible clue to the murderers. A letter was turned over to the police department that was received by a woman which states: "Will get you next—Look out. (Signed) "Colored K. (Continued on page 3) S. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR SOCIETY The S.

HIGHTOWER'S ABSCONDING A REAL MYSTERY Friends Believe Worry Over Business Entanglements Real Motive HAD SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS Rumoured That Woman Accompanied Him On His Flight Dr. N. D. Hightower, proprietor of the University Book and Supply Co., of 2015 Georgia Avenue, N. W., who mysteriously disappeared from the city on about January 6th, leaving no information as to his whereabouts or as to the disposition of his business, has been located in Mexico City, Mexico, according to a telegram understood to have been received by his brother, Dr. Richard A. Hightower, dentist, 6th and T Sts., N. W. It is believed that Dr. Hightower's rash act in leaving the city and abandoning his business might have been due to the many law suits and a divorce proceeding in which he has been continually involved for more than a year. About a year ago Dr. Hightower was sued by his wife for a divorce, naming in her bill as correspondent, Miss Revels of 7—Irving Street, N. W. It is stated that she too left the city about the same time of Dr. Hightower's disappearance, abandoning a home recently purchased by her at the above address. Some months ago Dr. Hightower, who was a silent partner with Mr. Ben. Moore in the conduct of the Dreamland Cafe on 7th Street, near T, brought suit to dissolve the partnership, which suit terminated in the business being put in the hands of a receiver, and subsequently sold at auction several weeks ago. The proceeds of this sale are now in the hands of the court awaiting a report of the auditor appointed of the two parties. It is stated that the amount in hand will be no more than is necessary to liquidate the indebtedness of the business. In leaving the city and abandoning his business, Dr. Hightower made it possible for a number of creditors who were left unpaid to take legal steps to close the business. On Wednesday of this week under an attachment issued out of court the U. S. Marshall seized and took into possession all the property of Dr. Hightower's book store for the benefit of the creditors who are said to be Mr. timer M. Harris his attorney, $1100; Second National Bank, $3600; J. H. Maxwell, $2000 and Dr. Wm. C. McNeill, $2500; the last named having been very helpful to Dr. Hightower in the infancy of his business. Dr. Hightower graduated from Howard University Medical College as a physician several years ago, immediately entering into the book store business. The business reputed to be a very profitable one being an annual business of about $75,000 due largely to his having had a contract with the Government to supply all the vocational students with books and supplies. The stock at the time it was taken over by the creditors on Wednesday was valued at about $40,000. He was also proprietor of the High School Book Co., near 1st and O Sts., N. W., which also did a very large volume of business. Dr. Hightower comes from a very prominent family of Montgomery, Ala. His wife and several children are now living in Florida, having recently left this city where they lived on Elm St., N. W.

M. : : THE FIELD OF SPORTS What We Should Learn From the Past | mm TRACK TEAM. Football Season | By A. Leon Richardson. PAGE FOUR What We Should L Football SPORTSMANSHIP It has been aptly stated that good sportsmanship not only involves fair play but extends beyond it into. the finer expression of gentlemanliness and chivalry. Each season foot ball- players, authorities and spectators are recognizing the “win at any price” spirit is a ruination to the game. Pre- caution must therefore be taken to safeguard this great college sport, not alone with rules but by appealing to the individuals who come within the law, but nevertheless seek to gain an advantage. Good Speftsmanship Code The following code framed by a committee of the American Football Coaches’ Association, enumerates the many ways by which “good sports- manship” can be expressed: “By pro- viding comforts and conveniences to the visiting team and its friends; by ceasing cheering while .signals are being called; by applauding outstand- ing plays, demonstrations of pluck and acts of sportsmanship on the part of opponents; by confining scouting to legitimate study of regularly played games, entailing rufusal to spy on an ‘opponents practice, scout his signals ‘or secure, by secret means, informa- tion concerning the style of play of a “team to be met later; by endeavoring to settle questions of eligibility con- fidentially, rather than by public dis- cussion; by active encouragement of cordial relations between teams and student bodies of rival institutions, and by going out of the way to con- gratulate the coach and captain of the winning teams.” Another abused code of good sports- manship concers the encroaching on the playing field by spectators. In most instances authorities are more to blame than the spectators. The stationing of sufficient guards and the stretching of rozes will eliminate this erowdnig of the playing field. ~Hamp- ton using the above policy handles the spectators admirably, The Lincoln- _SZilberforce game was protested by ‘the latter because of this’ violation and the Howard-Lincoln game was held up until the crowds were put of the field. The cheer-leader should be held ac. countable for the frequent infraction: of the good sportsmanship code bj the college habbles. He should hok full sway over his folowers and hav them so controlled that when either quarterback is calling signals the Stands wlil cease cheering at once on when a player is injured he will re- ceive a deserved ovation, The tendency to alibi the loss of « game is another type of poor sports. manship. Time and again, news articles refer to the incompetency of officials, absence of certain players, condition of the playjng field, all bear- ing excuses for defeat. Seldom doe: the thought occur that the victor should be complimented for being able to conquer under the same conditions. If college authorities would empha- size and impress on th-’. players the importance of displaying the highest types of sportsmanship in every game there would be little need for two. thirds of the rules by which football is now covered, _ Unsportmanship tactics resorted tc by either the spectator, player or col lege official smirch the traditions the game and bring discredit to the college. MOREHOUSE SWAMPS TUSKEGEE | Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Jan 27,—The Moorhouse College basket ball team defeated the Tuskegee Institute team in the gymnesium of the Collis P.

About two months ago the depart. ment of physical education sent out call for track men. ‘The response was 65 men who were given uniforms to-be gin work, This great influx of candi dates from which to choose should giv Howard a winning track team, one su: perior to the other college teams, an¢ one that can make a creditable showing at the Penn Carnival in April. It i not expected that Leo Robinson will rum this year, but-he will assist in every possible way to whip the team in shape Elaborate arrangements are being made for the intercollegiate meet and the [Penn relays. Wyndham, Craft, Contee will carry the “batons” this year. Jenkins will run in the 100-yard dash; Nichols, a new: comer from the University of Nebraska is expected to make good in the quar. ter mile.

One of the most important events ‘in which the relay team will be en- tered this year is the Penn Relay Games to be held under the auspices of the University of Permsylvania on ‘Franklin Field, April 27th and 28th. ‘Howard’s relay team, composed of Perry, Craft, Contee, and Robinson, won a Collegiate Championship at these games in April, 1921. In 1922, upon being moved up into the Class B Collegiate Championship of Amer- ica, comprised of Boston College, Pittsburg, and a number of other in- stitutions, the team made up of Craft, Wyndon, Contee, and Robinson acquit- ted itself creditably by taking fifth place in this faster class in which there were thirteen teams entered. Howard’s relay team this year is expected to be the fastest in the his- tory of the University. Last year's team has reported in fall and compe. tition for places is- expected to be keer because of the exceptional quality of the new men who are also reporting Among the new men who are out fo the squad are: H, A. Bridges, whe starred on the University of Pitts burg’s Freshman team, and the relay team of the Scholastic Club of Pitts. burg last year, and who ran on the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity team which won the inter-fraternity cham- pionship of the Panther University: Macéo Morris, former star of Lincolr University; H. 0. Bright, star anchor man of last year’s Freshman team; George Pendleton, of last year's Freshman team; Walker, of Asbury Park High, N. J., a veteran of thre« year’s experience; R. Brown, of Mor. gan College; H, P. Williams of How. ard; and many ohters. “Humpty’ Brown, former captain and star 440 man of Dunbar High, Washington, D C., is expected to report at the beginn- ing of the spring quarter. All of last year’s veterans have re- ported to Captain “Bob”.Craft and Athletie Director L. Watson. The diminutive captain is already showing auch of his old time:form and indica. tions. point to a great year on the cinders” for him. Emmett Wyndon, After a splendid season with the foot- ball squad, is in fine condition.

J. Anderson, Howard star weight man and hammer thrower, who was an entrant in the field events at the Penn Games last year, is entered a- gain this year. He has been busy practicing with the weights since early fall, and his superb condition points to a banner year for him, Local “Y” Wins Close Game Baltimore, Md., January 27,—The Y.

EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY ATLANTA, GEORGIA AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write for Particulars Music Forum Music Forum By Wellington A. Adams LYRIC QUARTET MUSICALE The Lyric Quartet gave a musical program last Wednesday evening at Third Bassist church to an appreciative audience. Members of the quartet are: Miss Amy Dorsey, soprano; Miss B. L. Stevenson, alto; J. A. Walker, tenor; and R. Amis, bass. Assisting in the affair were Thomas Heathman, reader; James McIntosh, baritone; and the Violin Trio, R. Carlton Dorsey directing, C. China and W. B. Jones. The program was as follows: Allahs Holiday, quartet; Temptation, Mr. Heathman; Songs of Love, a, At Dawning and, b, When You are Near Me, Mr. Walker; Spring Song (Schuman) Violin Trio; My Lord What a Mornin' (Burleigh), Miss Stevenson; Deep River (Burleigh) Quartet; Pro Peccatis (Rossini), b, Calvary (Mitchell) Mr. McIntosh; Farewell Brother Watkins; Mr. Heathman; and Good Night, by Quartet. Miss Josephine Muse at the piano. The program as a whole was an enjoyable one with bright spots here and there. The participants presented their numbers with evident care and musical and literary taste. While the selections were not specially brilliant ones, adaptable to a straight recital program as such still they were marked with a sympathetic touch that blended well with the character of hearers present. The quartet was very pleasing in "Deep River" with its rare harmony, the voices blending smoothly. Their interpretation and phrasing were good but a little off in their dynamic effect. This quartet presented a fine stage presence and with continued severe coaching and patience, will make a reputation worth while. They are capable however of entertaining any smart audience now and the future holds out to them much of promise. The violin trio was a thing of beauty. The violin, so to speak, is a susceptible, nervous, capricious, little object which, unless tamed with mastery, literally conquered, will provide the listener with anything but pleasure. This trio proved well in renditions. Their bowing was consistent, the sustained or singing stroke was of a mellow, carrying tone character, allowing an infinite variety of dynamic shadings. Only twice did we note a slight deviation of pitch which only an acute ear could detect but the general performance was of the higher order bespeaking much for the ensemble. Miss Stevenson possesses a voice which she would do well to continue developing. She should pay more attention to distinct utterance as her voice is musical and resonant. Her singing pleased the audience and they applauded her heartily for an encore which she gracefully gave. Her stage presence was also very pleasing. Mr. Heathman in his readings caused much hilarity and applause and the audience showed that they appreciated his comical delineation of race characters by several recalls. SPORT CHATTER By H. Scott Most any day now we may expect something definite regarding a Wills-Dempsey match. Many big matches that can't be handled indoors are being "smoked up" in preparation for summer. The Wills-Dempsey affair has under gone the same ordeal before but this year will likely see a settlement. The Howard football schedule is nearing completion and will be announced within two weeks.

O street Vocational School, located on O street between First and North Capitol streets, began its new semester Thursday, February 1st. It is the earnest hope of the principal and teachers that the parents and children will aid in every way possible to enlarge the attendance of the school by encouraging their friends to enter this wonderful center of activity and progression, the advantages and possibilities of which are far beyond the realization of those who have not taken a survey of this plant. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 TERMINAL EMPLOYEES TEN- DEDED DECEPTION Mrs. Boyce, the Y. W. C. A., presi- dent will be held at Rockefeller House DERED RECEPTION The employees of the Washington Terminal Company were royally entertained in the gymnasium of the Union Station last Wednesday by the Terminal Company. About 1400 employees and friends were the guests of the Company. The reception was officially tendered to the Washington Terminal Employees Association, which is composed of the Terminal Company's employees, including those at the Union Station, the yards and the shops at Ivy City. A delightful time was had by all who attended. Punch and Ice Cream and Cake were served. Dancing was a feature of the evening with the music being furnished by Sam Taylor's orchestra. This is the first reception given the Terminal Employees by the company. The officials of the Terminal Company are I. M. Wallet, president; D. M. Fisher, secretary; Mr. Tonge, superintendent. Mr. A. Jones is head of the Employees Association. Y.W.C.A. Notes Y. W. C. A. PLANS TO ENLARGE SERVICE To make the Young Women's Christian Association more useful to the young girls is the aim of a conference which will be held at the Phyllis Whettley Y. W. C. A., 901 Rhode Island Ave., Monday, February 5th at 7 P. M. Some of the principal features to be discussed in this connection will be the need of a summer camp for girls, equipment and quarters for educational classes, additional dormitories to accommodate the many applicants that cannot be placed in the building and to provide a swimming pool where segregation will not humiliate and embarrass the young women. All persons interested in assisting the Y. W. C. A., to carry out their proram are asked to attend this meeting Monday evening. Miss Olive C. Jones, organizer of girls' clubs, is improving from an illness of several days. Miss Hattie E. King has been in attendance at a conference of industrial secretaries at Philadelphia during the past week. Rev L. C. Sheafe will be the speaker at Vespers next Sunday. The O Street Vocational School caters to a class of children who desire a trade and at the same time wish to receive an academic training which will develop them into well-rounded business women. A cordial invitation is extended to the public in general and the parents in particular to visit the different departments of the school. See the course of instruction offered; examine the work done by the pupils; leave orders for work to be done; and offer suggestions that will help in building up this busy little bee hive and make it one of the prize show places of Washington. The following trades are taught in their entirety by a corps of teachers whose motto is thoroughness in every detail. Plain sewing, dressmaking, tailoring, millinery, home economics (embracing domestic science), manicuring and shampooing, lamp shade makniq, and novelty and flower making. If you know a girl who has a natural bent for any of these trades and who desires to prepare herself for an independent living in a minimum of time, with a maximum of knowledge, encourage her to enter the O Street Vocational School.

"Speaking of "social lions" it is well to note that avoirdupois is decidedly against them when the tames decide to take a shot. Another mystery is how coal dealers fluctuate the prices of substitute coal without deviating from the usual practice of sticking you on the slate. Returning home at close of day Who wouldn't curses utter, When told before you take a seat, "Go get a pound of butter." * * * * * With thrift week in the rear of us, our next problem is the near Easter hat bills. * * * * * "Did you regard the photographer's admonition to 'look pleasant, please' a commonplace expression?" "Not in the least," replied Mrs. Brainstorm. "But when he said, 'it's natural expression,' I couldn't refrain from giving him a sarcastic look." * * * * * Household hint: Onion juice will remove rust from knives; it will also cause other pepole to move further away from you. "Mer Rouge charge a 'frame up'"— headlines a local paper. What of it? The vital question is Kan the Klan Kome Klean? A Sign of Progress Forty-six years ago there was only one telephone and one wrong number in the whole world. On the contrary, nowadays, the wrong numbers have exceeded the output of telephones. The Eyes of Youth "I always feel sorry for the Browns, who live in the corner house, when it snows," remarked the youngster as he threw the last shovel full of snow from the walk in front of his home. "Why so, are they out of coal?" "No, no! its worse than that. You see, they have to shovel twice as much snow as we do." * * * * From the looks of things (or should we have said from present indications) the only bathing we'll probably get other than at home in this city will be when "Jupiter Pluvius" weeps. Over The Home Brew By the Monoped. I mentioned the fact to the editor that there are thousands of readers of this paper who would like to know, and who want to know who The Monoped is. He didn't say so, but I saw that he got jelless all of a sudden. He curtly asked me where, what, when, and why do I think such a thing. I then reminded him of the 642 and a half letters which were not sent to him asking, "what is The Monoped?" I told him that I though it was our bounden duties to allay their curiosity, interest, and evil intentions by telling them all about myself. "My good man," he said in a violet like voice; "I could easily tell them what The Monoped is. I—" "Oh, no, "I interrupted,"the honorable public does not really want to know what a monoped is , but they want to know WHO The Monoped is." "Well, what would you tell 'em?" he snapped out, smashing the top of his desk with his fist, bruising it serevely. "If they wanted to know what or who; or who and what The Monoped is, I'd tell 'em in a jiffy that I'm single, handsome, flirts like Valentino, loves like Romeo, and is audacious like the Sheik.

This Week's Best Letter Dear Editor: I have been reading your Page for several months and I have enjoyed it very much. I would like to become a Tribunite. I am sending the answers to some puzzles and the Negro History Questions. I sincerely hope that you will allow me to become one of your Tribunites. I do not use the word "nigger" because it is a word used by members of other races to humiliate the members of our race. I am very proud of my race because it has made such wonderful progress during its years of freedom. Although we have been free only about sixty-years, we are the white man's equal in almost every way. I am also proud of my race because although we were in bondage, at one time we composed "Folk Songs" which will never be forgotten as long as the world exists. The "Negro Folk Songs" are the only original songs which are found in America. For the reasons stated above, I am very proud of my race and sincerely hope that every other person of my color will feel likewise. GLADYS TINNEY (Age 15) Dear Editor: Here is a good recipe for making graham pudding. I hope other girls who like to cook will send in their favorite recipes. Use two cups of unsifted graham flour, one cup of chopped raisins, one teaspoonful of baking soda, one teaspoonful each of cassia, cloves and nutmeg, and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Stir these ingredients thoroughly into one cup of thick sour milk and steam the pudding in one loaf for three hours. Serve hot, in slices, with a hard sauce made of butter and powdered sugar, mixed hard enough to cut. ALICE FAUNTROY (Age 16). THE WASHINGTON TRIL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 1923 EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY A "THE FREEDWOMAN" (or Fraedom), group by Edmonia Lewis (Continued from last week) THE "FREEDWOMAN," By Edmonia Lewis As the War was drawing to a close, an entirely new and unexpected star burst forth in the firmament of American art in the person of Edmonia Lewis, a young woman of Indian and Negro blood. Her first work made public appearance in 1865 at a fair in Boston for the benefit of the Soldiers' Aid Fund. It was a portrait bust of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who had lost his life in the assault on Fort Wagner, in July, 1863, on which occasion his Negro regiment, the 54th Massachusetts, won immortal fame. Miss Lewis afterward did much "THE FREEDWOMAN" (or Fr meritorious work, but this occasion will permit only one piece to be discussed. So, too, we must defer going into a history of her life and career. It may be permissible, however, to state that she was educated at Oberlin College in Ohio; and hence those sketches of her which assume or imply that she was wholly untutored or ignorant, are misleading. One of these erroneous stories relates that on her visit to Boston (about 1864 or 1865) she saw a statue of Benjamin Franklin which it is said, "filled her with amazement and delight." The story goes on to relate that she did not know by what name to call the "stone image," and that she thereupon said to herself, "I, too, can make a stone man," etc.* (See footnote.) In view of the fact that she had previously attended the college named for nearly or quite four years (from 1859 to 1863), this story is so extremely improbable that we may confidently claim that it is untrue. It may be further said of Miss Lewis that she ranked at least as high as a sculptress as any American woman up to her time. It was in 1867 that Miss Lewis brought out a statue which comes directly within the scope of the subject we are treating. She called it the "Freedwoman." Although I have made diligent efforts (which have not ceased) I have not been able to locate this statue nor to obtain a picture of it. In Clarke's "Great American Sculptures" it is thus described (page 142): "She [the "Freedwoman"] was represented as overcome by a conflict of emotions on receiving tidings of her liberation and the pathos of the situation was interpreted in a sympathetic spirit." Those who knew the conditions affecting the Freed people which were prevailing in 1867, when this statue was modeled, will not find it difficult to imagine what would be the nature of the conflicting emotions which this sculpture would herself feel and would therefore, consciously or un- consciously, embody in this figure. This cultured young artist, which descended from the two races mentioned, was yet by American custom identified wholly with the Negro. Hence she would see and feel for her "Freedwoman" what it was almost or quite possible that Ward should feel when modeling his "Freedman," admirable though it was. Not only were there racial differences in the artists but the times in which they worked were different, surprisingly different for so few intervening years. When Miss Lewis was modeling her "Freedwoman," in 1867, reaction—reenslavement, I had almost said—had set in. If, perchance, Mr. Ward and other sincere and absorbed souls had r sedom), group by Edmonia Lewis not observed it, Miss Lewis and "her people" had felt it. The Sun of Emencipation which had risen in 1863, had seemingly reached its zenith in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment prohibiting slavery. But already the sheriff's hand-cuffs were taking the place of the former master's chains; already the chain-gang stockade was supplanting the old slave pen. Another constitutional amendment, the 14th, was being pushed to bolster up the 13th. The freedwoman was being told that it would be better for her children, even in the North, to go to "separate" schools; and that it would be better, "for a while, anyway," for her people not to "thrust" themselves forward too much but to accept "separation" on public conveyances and in public places. She was being gravely assured that there was no degradation nor detriment in all of this. "Of course," she was being told with a cajoling smile, "your people will be more 'comfortable' to have churches and a social circle all your own: public sentiment, you see, is not yet ripe enough—: you know you've got to begin at the bottom": etc., etc. Miss Lewis, being an intelligent and educated woman, could not help seeing and feeling and interpreting So while she was purporting to portray the freedwoman as of the time when she received tidings of her liberation—which was in 1863, when the "quiet" and "thankful" "Freedman" came out—yet it was impossible that the conditions prevailing and threatening at the time—1867—as well as her own feelings and emotions, should not find some expression in Miss Lewis' work. And so, necessarily and rightly, she portrayed her "Freedwoman" as "overcome by a conflict of emotions." "Article (letter) in "The Revolution," (N. Y.) for Apr. 20, 1871, probably by the editor, Laura Curtis Bullard. This article has been widely quoted and accepted.. (Continued next week) PARENTS' COLUMN THE WORTH OF A BOY. By President John A. Earl, Des Moines College. Boys have no rating in Dunn and in Bradstreet. They have practically no commercial value. If a boy happens to be killed by the negligence of a corporation the parents of the boy can collect next to nothing by way of damages and loss. Hence to speak of the worth of a boy in this respect is wide of the mark Wherein then does the worth of a boy lie? In possibilities rather than in possessions, in latent forces rather than in developed resources, in becoming rather than being. Like a bit of uncultivated land, the boy may be developed to the highest point of efficiency; or he may be left like an unoccupied city lot—a dumping-place for refuse. In the language of land value we talk of the uncarned increment; but there is no such fictitious value in boys. The worth of a boy is proportioned to his improvement. He will increase in value only as the latent forces within him are loosed trained, and directed in proper channels. From this viewpoint, the worth of the boy is inestimable. His price is above rubies, and were all the wealth of the world offered for him it would fall far below his real worth. What the boy will become as he grows into manhood depends upon two things, viz., his inheritance and his environment. Every boy is born with an inheritance. The bent of his mind and the trend of his disposition are part of this inheritance just as surely as the color of his eyes and hair. He brings with him into the world the blood of his ancestors, and blood will tell. This is the reason why so much emphasis is now placed upon the science of eugenics. Every child has the right to be well born and to come into the world without the handican of bad blood. Such natural endowments as the boy is born with constitute the raw material out of which character is made, and enwith the making of character. An evil environment almost invariably spells ruin for the boy. Plastic and receptive, the boy in the hands of a bad man, or in the midst of vicious environment, will almost without exception take on the habits and character of those among whom he finds himself. The boy is ambitious to imitate men, hence if the men among whom he is thrown are profane, dishonest, cruel, drunken, and selfish he will, in all probability, pattern after them. If we sow a vicious environment we will reap a crop of bad boys and worthless men. The receptivity of the boy is his salvation if he falls into wise and good hands. The new version of the proverb is an improvement over the old: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and go that way yourself." Example is better than precept, but example and precept combined are best. The men who develop a genuine gold mine are mightily interested in every element of the process and in the rich results secured. No expense is spared and no sacrifice is withheld in bringing the mine to its highest possible capacity. But what is a gold mine is compared with a boy? "It is worth all if it cost if it is the means of saving one boy," said Horace Mann at the opening of the Public Library in Philadelphia. At the close of the address he was asked by a friend if he had not made the statement too strong. "No, not if it were my boy," was the characteristic reply. Therefore down with everything that destroys boys, and up with everything that ennobles boys and helps them to be good and true men. PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS. By reason of our former condition of servitude, and prejudice against our color, we must try to perform every duty entrusted to us, not only as well, but better than any one else, so as to receive proper consideration. How often have I wanted to say to white students that they lift themselves up in proportion as they help to lift others, and that the more unfortunate the race and the lower the scale of civilization, the more does one raise one's self by giving the assistance. We are crawling up, working up, year bursting up. Often through oppression, unjust discrimination and prejudice, but through them all we are coming up, and with proper habits, intelligence and property, there is no power on earth that can permanently stay our progress. What is a "nigger" anyhow? Poets' Corner The Poets' Corner is a department for the people. Opportunity is here given amateurs to present their attempts to a critical public. It is a medium through which semi-professional and professional poets can lend helping hand to the striving unknowns. It is a medium where the critic is ever alert for promising material. It is a medium through which that portion of the public who have not been educated to care for poetry may be aroused and become interested in this beautiful phase of literature.

MINUTE FORMS OF LIFE At school we have been studying about the lightest forms of life and of the minute forms of life. The highest forms of life are quadrupedes, reptiles, domestic, fish, fowl; and the minute forms of life which can hardly be seen by a microscope are bacteria, fungi, microbes, parasites and saprophytes. Plants or animals which live upon other living plants or animals are called parasites, and those living upon dead ones are called saprophytes. Some fungi are useful and some are harmful. The fungus most commonly made use of is the yeast plant. Bacterium is a single cell plant the simplest of all plants and it can only be seen by a high powered microscope, but bacteria are rod-shaped, screw-shaped or have other different forms. Bacteria and fungi cause the spoiling of food and it is necessary to find a way of stopping their growth. In order to stop the growth of them it is found that thoroughly smoking fish and meat preserves it, and if fruit is heated to a boiling temperature and tightly sealed in cans it will keep and will not spoil. I put some water on a piece of bread and rubbed it on the floor and left it in a dark place over night. The next morning it looked like a piece of molded bread that had been in a closed box for some time. Disease bacteria do not harm us as long as they remain outside the body, but as soon as they get into the nose, mouth, wounds or cuts they may develop and produce disease. If good food is handled with soiled hands, bacteria' pass into the body with the food. Drinking cups used by a great number of people always have disease germs on them. Other persons in the house may contract a contagious disease by using spoons, knives, forks, cups or saucers which have been employed in the sick room. The danger may be avoided by allowing no one to use the same eating utensils as the sick person does, or by washing them thoroughly in boiling water before being used by others.

C., under the Act of March 3,1879. "THE BEST WHITE PEOPLE" and RACE PREJUDICE The events of the past few weeks have given impetus to a new line of that concerning race prejudice. We have always been told that race hatred and race prejudice was engendered and practiced by the middle and lower classes of white people, and that the "better class" of white people were too intelligent, too highly civilized and Christianized, and too busy looking after their own affairs to stoop to the littleness of race prejudice. We have held the "best white people" on that high pedestal of Christian civilization and gave them credit for strength of character and noble principles which we have been taught would eschew such demoralizing, un-American and unChristian behavior as to permit race prejudice to enter into their attitude toward any people, not to mention the American Negro. But alas! Our ideal "best white people" have fallen from their pedestal. Harvard University, thru its president, has announced to the world its race prejudiced exclusion of Negroes from the Freshman dormitories. Harvard University represents the highest type of American educational institution, so if the highest, most respected university in American stoops to race prejudice, what may we expect of the lesser ones? Our confidence is shaken in the "best white people" and their supposed high principles. Just last week the Bankers Association of the District of Columbia sent out invitations to the school children of the District to visit 23 of their banks and inspect the banks in operation. But to the colored children of the District, more than 21,000 in number, it was suggested that they "should call from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m." Here we have the highest type of financial institutions of the country "suggesting" jim crowism, fostering race prejudice. It is evident that race prejudice is not only fostered by the "ruffians" and middle classes, but the germ has infected all classes and is becoming a vital issue in America, the Land of the Free. MR.

Davidson, as regional director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, by the national office, is one of merit. Mr. Davidson has rendered meritorious service and his appointment is gratifying to the members of the local branch of the association and to his friends in general. He organized a silent parade of 10,000 people against lynchings; he saved a fifteen year old boy from being sent back to the Ku Klux ridden state of Louisiana and one from the chain gang in North Carolina; he rescued a Haitian girl of sixteen years from peonage under an American army officer here in the Capital, not to mention other activities which has made this the largest local branch of the N.

Several of Dr. Hightower's friends who were interviewed by the Tribune reporter express the opinion that in a short while Dr. Hightower will re-return to the city and straighten out his affairs both business and domestic as he has been looked upon by them as being both capable and honest. His sudden departure is believed to have been caused more from remorse than anything else. PAGE EIGHT appointment of Shelby J.

WHY "LYNCH" GARVEY? (Continued from page 1) 7. "In Chicago, after seeking to break up an Anti-Garvey meeting, a Garvey supporter shot a policeman who sought to prevent him from attacking the speaker as he left the building." 8. "In New York last August during a series of meetings conducted to expose Garvey's schemes . . . scores of Garveyites came into the meetings with avowed intentions of breaking them up . . . this they were prevented from doing." 9. "On January 1, this year, Rev. J. W. H. Eason . . . was waylaid and assassinated, it is reported, by two Garveyites. . . Both men deny the attack." Analyzing the above stated charges, it is to be noted that in the nine "charges" set forth there are but two, Nos. 7 and 9) in which criminality is even charged—the killing of Dr. Eason which charge has been denied by the two Garveyites now under arrest, and who under the fundamental law of our land are innocent until proven by a court of justice (not a self-appointed court) to be guilty; and the alleged shooting of a policeman, which allegation is strangely lacking in details, being wholly contained in, and dealt with, in the words quoted. The applength on the charge of killing Dr. Peal, however, dwells at considerable Eason. In charge No. 4 as set forth above, the complaint is that the Garveytes themselves had a row among themselves as to finances. If this is a sufficient ground for the intervention of the forces of the Government to disband this organization, and such a policy of closing up Negro companies and organizations who row about the finances were carried out, we soon wouldn't have any organizations left. In the remaining six charges set out above you will note—first, that in THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 1923 every instance the charge states that an attempt was made to do this that and the other, but not in a single instance was the attempt carried out. And even had it been, what province has the federal government over misdemeanors and crimes committed in the various states of the country. As is to be expected (and desired) in each case the local police were able to quiet the disturbance. It is to be further noted also, that, as set forth in these six charges, the cause of the trouble was in each and every instance opposition to "Garveyism." If the "distinguished citizens" whose lives have so posing Garvey don't like his organization Garvey don't, like his organization they should stay out and keep their mouths shut. If Catholics don't like Protestants, have they any right to hold meetings for the specific purpose of condemning? If you don't like the Catholic Church and the methods of its Pope, you simply stay out of it. Freedom of speech and action in America can only be preserved by permitting men to choose for themselves whom they shall follow and support. It is further charged in this wonderfully drawn "legal brief" that "The U. N. I. A., is composed chiefly of the most primitive and ignorant element of West Indian and American Negroes," and "Not only has this movement created friction between Negroes and whites, but it has also increased the hostility between American and West Indian Negroes." Just what "friction" has been created between Negroes and Whites the carefully and specifically drawn brief does not even suggest. If Mr. Garvey is able to organize the most ignorant and primitive Negroes into one solid organization, with faith in Negro leadership and loyalty to the Negro race, he deserves credit not condemnation, for he has succeeded in doing with primitive and ignorant Negroes what a number of our intellectuals including some members of the self appointed "guardian board" have failed to do with the educated and less primitive Negroes. The comparison only magnifies Garvey's greatness. The most groundless charge in the whole document, and one which should shame the signers into public seclusion for the rest of their lives is this charge: "The Garvey organization is just as objectionable and even more dangerous than the Ku Klux Klan, inasmuch as it naturally attracts an even lower type of cranks, crooks and racial bigots among, whom suggestibility to violent crime is much greater." Every one knows that The Ku Klux Klan has murdered, burned at the stake, tarred and feathered, destroyed both private and public property through the entire Southland. These facts are known to every child who can read. We would like these signers to state when and where the U. N. I. A., as such has committed one single offense in this list of crimes, or has as an organization even been accused of committing or attempting to commit one of this string of crimes. So far as is known, this group of signers have not appealed to the Attorney General to abolish the Ku Klux Klan, which would have been far more commendable on their part as Negroes. In fact the brief, wholly fails to make a case showing the great memace of this organization, for the brief itself states: "the membership of the U. N. I. A., is conservatively estimated, to be much less than 20,000 in all countries, including the United States and Africa, the West Indies, Central and South America." This being true wherein lies the great danger and menace to society? Should we lose our heads about the danger of what 20,000 people scattered thruout the world can do to society? The Klam, which to the signers of this appeal is far less dangerous, is reported to have over 20,000 members in Atlanta, Ga. alone. This brief further states that "Garvey has built up an organization which has victimized hordes of ignorant and unsuspecting Negroes." It seems inconsistent to charge the victimizing HORDES, at the same time stating the membership as conservatively less than 20,000. And further, if to have an organization thru which members are victimized is a crime, it seems logical that those victimized should be the ones to protest, and seek legal redress, and not persons who have not been victimized. It is further rather strange that this committee of signers have not seen fit to appeal to the Attorney General to go after John Mitchell or any of the others of our race who it appears have victimized people against their will—while (if it be true at all with Garvey) it was with his members' will. The Tribune holds no brief for Garvey nor his organization. To our way of thinking, his business methods are bad. We do not approve his scheme of going back to Africa or anywhere else. We do not approve nor condone the useless expenditure of money spent by Garvey in his various enterprises. We are not members of the U. N. I. A. But, we do approve of the one foundation principle of Garvey's movement; that Negroes throughout the world learn to stand together under Negro leadership, giving their support to Negro enterprises in preference to all others. To our way of thinking an inferior Negro leadership is better for us than a superior white leadership. For though the leadership of white men be intellectually superior, that leadership cannot feel the sufferings that our race is forced to undergo in this country. And while Garvey has foolishly invested some money, while he has undertaken a number of foolish business enterprises, wasting much money, the net result is still far ahead of the progress made by those who oppose him. Notwithstanding the ventures that have failed, his organization maintains a number of successful enterprises among them being a weekly newspaper "The Negro World," unquestionably the best edited Negro publication in America. This publication is printed in the organization's own plant, with Negro labor, which by the way is more than can be said of some of the publications who are fighting the U. N. I. A. If Garvey with his alleged only 20,000 members can establish and maintain such a plant giving Negro men and women an opportunity to develop, why do not some of the big Negro organizations boasting large membership do so? The difference might be, where there is Negro leadership Negroes get the money, and where there is white leadership white people get the money. One of the leading publications which is fighting Garvey spent last year according to its own statement $27,000 with a white firm for printing its magazine. If Garvey's schemes are contrary to good business they will fall of their own weight. If the U. N. I. A., is dangerous to society the law will take care of those guilty of the offenses committed. No matter what else Garvey may do or not do, in teaching our racial group unification and a willingness to follow Negro leadership, he deserves our help. If these signers just must save the race anyhow, it would be well to "sic" the Attorney General on Moton and his kind who do the race more harm in one "Uncle Tom" speech outside of the race than Garvey can do within the race in a generation. However, it seems that the real gravamen of the appeal is disclosed in the opening paragraph wherein the basis of the whole matter is postulated on the charge that the Garvey organization is a "menace to harmonious race relationships," and it is "moved and actuated by intense hatred against the white race"; and finally: "The undesirables [the Garveyites] continually proclaim that all white people are enemies to the Negro." But if these petitioners are really concerned about guarding or protecting anybody, it seems from these opening sentences that they seek to make it appear that it is the whites they are anxious about.
