Dabney's Lifeless Body Discovered Mystery Surrounds Under-taker's Death. Suicide Theory Scouted GAS JET LEFT OPEN Was Pioneer Business Man But Retired About Three Years Ago "Accidental death," was the verdict rendered by the coroner, in the case of James H. Dabney, the undertaker, who was found dead Tuesday about noon, in a gas-filled room, at 1017 4th street northwest, where he had been rooming since the estrangement with his wife, Mrs. Ruth Dabney, about two years ago. Mr. Dabney was rooming with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Robinson at the Fourth street address. Mrs. Robinson said that she left the house about nine o'clock Monday night to go to a lodge meeting, and met Mr. Dabney on the corner of 4th and L, on his way to the house. He went directly to his room and lighted one gas jet and turned the other on but it was not lighted. When she returned home later in the night, she smelled gas and went down the hall as far as Mr. Dabney's room, but did not locate the escaping gas. The light was burning in his room and she did not realize that gas was escaping from his room. She retired and on arising next morning found the light yet burning in Mr. Dabney's room, but did not pay any attention to it. At noon, Mr. Robinson came home and finding the light yet burning, went to the rear of the room and looked thru a window and found Mr. Dabney lying across the bed, face down. They called a physician who pronounced him dead since about one o'clock Monday night. The Coroner was called and signed he death slip as "accidental." It is that that Mr. Dabney turned on both jets and supposed that he had lighted both of them, or that he tried to light one and failed and then turned on the other one, which he lighted leaving the first one on but unlighted. He had been in poor health for the past few years and had practically retired from the undertaking business, but Mrs. Ruth Dabney, his wife, continues the business at 1132 3rd street northwest, from which place the funeral took place Friday afternoon. Mr. Dabney was one of the first colored undertakers to open in Washington.

URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING FromSmallBeginningLeague Is Now Spending Over $250.000 Annually Steady increases in the forces making for cooperation between the Negro and white races was emphasized by L. Hollingsworth Wood, Chairman of the National Urban League, at its eleventh annual meeting in the Russell Sage Foundation Building Wednesday afternoon. He reported that the year 1922 had been the most important in the history of the Urban League movement which started with a small group in New York spending $2,500 in 1910 and has grown to a national movement with branches in more than forty cities spending more than $250,000 a year. Announcement was made that friends of the late Mrs. Harry Plotz, who died in Paris last spring, had raised $10,000 which had been given to the National Urban League for the establishment of the Ella Sachs Plotz Fund, the income from which is to be devoted "to the development and training of some Negro man or woman especially fitted for social and civic service in the community." Mrs. Plotz, who was a daughter of Samuel Sachs, was an active member of the Urban League Board and a Trustee of Fisk University Irving S. Merrell, President of the Merrell-Soule Company of Syracuse, and a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, and C. C. Spaulding, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the largest Negro insurance company, were elected to the executive board, and among those re-elected for a term of three years were Felix Adler, Mrs. Julius Rosenwald, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, William G. Willcox, Miss Nannie Burroughs of Washington and James H. Dillard of Charlottesville, Va. The officers, including Mr. Wood, chairman; Dr. Robert R. Moton, vice-chairman; William H. Baldwin, secretary and A. S. Frissell, treasurer, were re-elected. The executive secretary of the league, Eugene Kinckle Jones, presented his annual report showing the establishment of four new branches of the league, the establishment of a new monthly magazine "Opportunity," a journal of Negro life, surveys of the Negroes of Hartford and of the industrial opportunities of the Negroes in Baltimore.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1923 Student Strike Threatened at Howard Univ. Result of Dissatisfaction Over Power Wielded By Dean Slowe The students of Howard University held a mass meeting in the University Chapel on Wednesday afternoon at which time an ultimatum was issued to the Acedamic Council to curb the power now being wielded by the Dean of Women, Miss Slowe. The present trouble is the outgrowth of a series of suspensions and other punishments met out by Miss Slowe. The students call for an answer from the Academic Council within 48 hours or else they will consider calling a general strike of all students. Miss Slowe's regime has been under fire from the students for over three months. It is claimed that the Dean of Women, and also the Dean of Men, has been invested with the power to dismiss any student they desire without the student being given a hearing before any other person or body. And it is the use of this power that the present trouble is about. At the mass meeting Wednesday, several spirited speeches were delivered denouncing the present system and demanding an immediate change. Attempts on the part of one or two students to defend Miss Slowe, resulted in the speakers being hissed down. What action the Academic Council will take in the matter could not be learned. Wins Suit Against Washington Times On February 13th, George W. McGee, 323 South Capitol St., Veterans' Bureau employee, and prominent in local fraternal and religious organizations, was awarded five hundred dollars damages against the Washington Times company. On August 7th, 1922, a George W. McGee, was charged with using a dangerous weapon—said dangerous weapon being a Ford automobile which had run down a white woman. All local dailies carried the article but the Times alone gave an address—George W. McGee, 323 South Capitol Street. Being owner of the premises bearing that number, and having resided there ten years and not having any knowledge of the crime—not even owning a Ford—Mr. McGee at once investigated and learned that the accused was a white man. Three days elapsed before the Times apologized. Mr. McGee's attorney opened suit for $10,000, maintaining that the article had proven effective. It could not be learned definitely if an appeal would be taken. COLORED BOY SCOUTS TO HEAR ANNUAL SERMON This is anniversary week and the Colored Boy Scouts are observing it, on Sunday, February 18th, they are to hear their annual sermon at Union Wesley A. M. E.

SMALL CHANCE FOR BEACH ON VIRGINIA SIDE SMALL CHANCE FOR BEACH ON VIRGINIA SIDE State's Senators Seek Elimination by Holding Up D.C.Bill The "jim crow" bathing beach for colored people at the Virginia end of the new Key bridge, was virtually killed Wednesday, in the Senate Committee, when Senators Glass and Swenson of Virginia, served notice on the committee that they would hold up the District appropriation bill, carrying more than $22,000,000 if the item of $25,000 for a beach for colored people on the Virginia side of the Potomac was not changed. The District bill was sent back to conference for the elimination of that section or the changing of the location of the beach. A number of civic organizatins along with The Tribune, have been fighting the location of a bathing beach for colored people on the Virginia side of the Potomac, since the plan was announced by Col. C. O. Sherrill, who has charge of public buildings and grounds of the District. Up to Thursday afternoon, the conferences had not met on this section and, therefore, the final disposition of the matter is not known at the time of going to press by The Tribune. Southerners Claim Lynching on Decrease ATLANTA, Feb. 8—(Special): That the lynching evil is steadily being reduced, both as to numbers and area, and that its eradication is only a matter of years, is the substance of a statement given out by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation as the result of a careful study of the lynching record for the past forty years. During that period, the statement points out, lynchings have occurred in forty-four States, in as many as thirty three in a single year, (1892), and in an average of twenty-one states a year, whereas in 1921 only thirteen states had lynchings and in 1922 only ten. This indicates that the habit is being gradually pushed off the map. The number of victims also has steadily decreased, with slight variations, from the high mark of 255 in 1892 to-57 last year, the latter figure being only about half the annual average for the forty year period, which was 109. In addition, it is pointed out that there has been a notable decrease in the lynching habit in the states where it still persists. Last year's record represents a decrease of (Continued on page 4) TRIBUNE READER UPHOLDS STAND ON GARVEY Says Some Men are Like a Ground Hog When He Sees His Shadow Perhaps one of the strongest presentations of the side of the common people in the recent explosion over Garvey, is made in a letter received from a Tribune reader recently. The letter is a forceful presentation of facts and justifies completely the Tribune's stand in this matter. The letter is from a man who is the head of one of the largest and most substantial business institutions of the race; an institution which gives lucrative employment to scores of our people, male and female. He writes as follows: WHY CROAK OVER GARVEYISM To the Editor: First of all, may I ask a few questions: Why take Garveyism so seriously? Why shudder at the thought of an organized black peril? Can such an animal be created by any man of our race? Can Garvey accomplish the impossible? If it is true as claimed that he is preaching a spirit of hatred, violence, and revenge; is he any more guilty than our daily press? What worth while movement has the aggregation back of this solemn protest successfully organized? Are they not inadvertently admitting that this shrewd West Indian possesses greater organizing ability than our educated American Negro? Then why all this ill-considered clamor? Are the gentlemen not aware that they have done more to give Garveyism national publicity than all his paid press agents could have done in twelve months? Why give Garvey opportunity to play the role of martyr? I believe that the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all similar organizations should be regulated and compelled to make strict accounting thru sworn monthly or annual reports to some qualified representative authority of the United States Government and the States. Had the able gentlemen addressed their activities to bringing about this much needed reform, they would have been engaged in a far better cause. Periodically it appears that some of our able men get worked up over some great majority wrong for a week or two, or possibly a month, then, as in the case of the ground hog which sees its shadow, withdraw into their holes of selfish interest and permit the K. K. K.'s and the Universal Negro Improvement Association to say and do about as they please. Real honest-to-goodness race interest is not a matter of shouting or weeping on occasion, but caring enough for one's race to be constantly interested. I sometimes wonder what would happen if a majority of our prominent men in high stations were honest and candid and really anxious to serve whole-heartedly the cause of justice and right. I have profound respect for many of the gentlemen behind the protest to the Department of Justice, and have faith in their good intentions, but give it as my opinion that they could have spent their valuable time and talents in ways more beneficial to the race; that is, if they have faith to believe that the Harding Administration is anxious to do anything substantial for our race.

Others Give Lesser Amounts The drive of Howard Uniwersity for $250,000, as its share of an endowment for the Medical School, was launched last week and will be concluded by July 1st this year. The drive officially started in Washington with the slogan: "As Washington goes, the country goes." The city has been divided into districts, and teams composed of medical students under the captaincy of prominent local physicians, are making a complete canvass. Dr. William C. McNeill of 1423 T street northwest, was selected as chairman of the Washington campaign. $50,000 was set as the goal for Washington. The job of canvassing Washington began Monday. Luncheon was served daily through Thursday to the canvassers in the new dining hall of the University, where daily reports were made and instructions given to the various teams and captains. A final luncheon will be held next Monday at which time the Washington campaign will end. Up to Thursday noon, a total of $34,734 in subscriptions had been reported coming from 650 donors. Of this amount $19,000 was subscribed by 18 physicians and one lawyer, each of whom subscribed $1,000. Cash received so far amounts to $6,107. The persons so far who have contributed as much as $1000, are: Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. M. A. Francis, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. S. S. Thompson, Dr. J. C. Dowling, Dr. C. I. Wast, Dr. J. R Wilder, Dr. S. L. Carson, Dr. E. D. Williston, Dr. W. A. Warfield, Dr. H. S. Martin, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Dr. Thomas Martin, Attorney M. M. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Dr. Marcus Wheatland, Dr. J. W. Mitchell, Dr. M. L. T. Grant, and Dr. F. D. Whitby. The necessity for increasing the endowment of the Medical School at this time arises from a recent ruling of the American Medical Association which requires that all schools of Medicine of class A standing must have an independent income of at least $25,000 over and above fees, to provide for research, experimental purposes, etc. For Howard to meet this new requirement, it is necessary that there be an endowment of not less than $500,000. The university officials secured a donation of $250,000 from the General Education Board, founded by John D. Rockefeller which is contingent on the university raising a like sum. Unless the university raises its share before July 1st, the board will withdraw its offer. The trustees, faculty, administrative body and students have already pledged $65,000 to the endowment, plus the $34,734 raised this week, which makes $99,734 pledged so far, leaving $151,000 yet to be raised. On the completion of the drive here next Monday, workers will extend it to other cities and continue the canvassing until the money is raised. Already the drive has made history both as to the number of subscribers and the amount subscribed.

PROMINENT "Y" WORKER JOINS SUPREME LIFE AGENCY Washington was very greatly stirred this week over the news of the resignation of Secretary William Stevenson from the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. It was at first thought that the change would take Mr. Stevenson away from the city, but it was quickly shown that he was to be the District Manager of the Eastern Division of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, with his headquarters in Washington. The "Y" will lose the executive and active services of one of its most capable secretaries, while the business circles will gain an enthusiastic, energetic and progressive worker. Because Mr. Stevenson is a native of Ohio, it is not to be wondered that when Mr. Stevenson severed his long and successful career in social service, he would take up connections with an Ohio company. This is the company which came into the District quite recently, with a most energetic force of salesmen, a group of modern up-to-date policies, and a campaign of city wide publicity, all contributing to a remarkably successful introduction into the shops, homes and hearts of Washington. Mr. Stevenson leaves the "Y" work and enters upon the new, having the confidence of all classes of people, with whom he has been identified. This confidence, aside from his wonderful experience and equipment will be one of his greatest assets in the Insurance business. It is safe to predict the same, if not indeed greater success will be his in the spreading of the gospel of thrift, economic independence and protection to the people of this community. AT THE BAPSTIST MINISTER'S CONFERENCE Monday was a very busy day at the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity. The reports by the pastors of their Sunday services were listened to with interest. Dr. J. Harvey Randolph took occasion to ask, while making his report, how many pastors present had speaking in their churches, while the bread and wine were being served at their communions. It was brought out that the majority present did, while others did not. The question will be made the order of the day for discussion in the near future, as to the advisability of such a practice. Dr. P. P. Samuel, of Philadelphia, and Dr. W. M. Alexander of Plainfield, N. J., were introduced to the conference and made a few timely remarks. Mrs. McAdoo, in charge of the Y. W. C. A., and Mrs. Amanda Gray Hilyer made impressions by their strong pleas for the working girls and others in the city. The ministers' conference will take a deeper interest in the Y. W. C. A., from now on, owing to the splendid addresses of the ladies referred to. Mr. Anderson, a young representative of Howard University, made an appeal to the conference on behalf of the Medical Department of the University, which has a drive on to raise $250,000 by the first of July, in order to obtain a like sum from the Rockefeller Foundation. The conference voted to give the Medical Department $400. Mr. Harris, representative of the National Benefit Association, presented a plan of insurance to the conference by which the churches would realize $5000, more or less, at the death of the pastor or pastors, in case they took advantage of the offer. The pastors wanted to know where their families came in, and since there was no provision in the plan for the protection of the families in case of death, they promised to consider the matter at a subsequent time. Dr. Aminger, superintendent of missions in Africa, made a touching plea for the African work. He referred briefly to the mission stations and their needs as well as to the need of more workers and more money to carry on the work already done. He will attempt to raise $100,000 before returning to Africa.

Alpha Kappa Alpha, One of Leading Greek Sororites Establishes Institute, W. Va., Jan. 5.—One of the most important steps toward permanency of friendships and associations which are formed in college has been the establishment at the West Virginia College Institute a new chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, one of the most prominent Greek letter Negro sororities. This is the first sorority to receive permission from the faculty to establish itself at Institute. The movement, which has been under way for a long time, was sponsored by Mrs. T. G. Nutter, from Alpha Chapter, Howard University; Mrs. J. S. Price and Mrs. A. A. Taylor, from the Epsilon Chapter at the University of Michigan, and Miss Ruth Stevenson, of the Alpha Chapter, Howard University. The establishing of the new chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha took place on December 26, 1922, with the following members: Miss Thelma Brown, '23, Basileus; Miss Ione Bowyer, '24, Anti-Basileus; and the Misses Marie Robinson, '24; Clara Fairfax, '24; Ruby Hubbard, '24; Madeline Marshall, '24; Ethel Nunnally, '24. A telegram of congratulations was received from Zeta Chapter, Wilberforce University. The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, of which Mrs. T. G. Nutter, wife of the Hon. T. G. Nutter, former member of the legislature of the State of West Virginia, is a charter member, was established at Howard University in 1909. Since that time it has grown to include 13 chapters, established in the leading scholastic communities of the country from coast to coast, and it embraces a membership of approximately 1,500, among whom are many of the more prominent and well-known women of the country. The establishment of a chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, along with chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternities, marks a new beginning of a new era in the under-graduate life at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Membership in these organizations brings students into closer contact with students and graduates of the leading colleges and universities of the country.

PRAISE LINCOLN, DOUGLASS AND DUNBAR Exercises were held under the auspices of the Hillsdale Citizen's Association at Birney School, Anacostia on Monday, February 12, at 8:30 p.m. observing the birth anniversary of Lincoln and Douglass, and the death of Dunbar. The meeting was called to order by the president, Dr. R. H. Shipley, and prayer was offered by chaplain, Mr. J. L. Chambers. After the audience sang "America," Rev. G. W. M. Lucas gave a talk on Paul Lawrence Dunbar, ending with Dunbar's "Ode to Ethiopia." Mr. Haley Douglass, teacher in the Dunbar High School, delivered the main address. He is a son of the late Maj. Charles R. Douglass, and a grandson of Hon. Frederick Douglass. He made no attempt at oratory, but stated facts concerning his illustrious grandfather. The "Sage of Anacostia" said at the Hatiian Building during the World's Fair, "I regard Paul Dunbar as the most promising colored man in America." Mr. Haley Douglass was at that time messenger to the poet Dunbar. Urging Hillsdales Citizens' Association to get more young people into their meetings, he cited the love of young folks as one secret of Douglass' power. The old must not spend too much time in sleep, and the young must not spend too much time in play. Singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," was followed by Lincoln's Gettysburg Address which Mr. Earle Ballard rendered in effective style. He reviewed the life of Abraham Lincoln, born in Harden County, Ky., February 12, 1809. Early in life a promise he made to God pledged a killing blow to slavery. How well he kept it, is known by thousands. Fitting responses were made by Mr. A. B. Corum, Mr. Marcus Dale, and Mr. A. F. Jackson. Dr. R. H. Shipley stated that Douglass encouraged him in securing education and in success of Douglas Hall Pharmacy. Lawyer J. H. Wilson linked the three characters—Dunbar, Douglass and Lincoln as being among the greatest examples for the race. The secretary, Mr. J. H. Dale, Jr., reported $6.70 collected at the meeting for cases of need or destination. Rev. J. L. Smith pronounced the benediction. Rev. G. W. M. Lucas was master of ceremonies. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNESATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1923 Negro Hatred Et Lynching Our Proud United States Must Inevitably Succumb to Her Own Malicious Self Inflicted Venom. Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert, editor of the Federal Council Bulletin (New York) takes exception to an editorial which appeared in the July number of the Missionary Seer under the caption: "The Tragedy of Armenia: What will America Do?—Federal Council Bulletin Versus the Curse of the United States of America for Which She Doesn't Care a Whoon—Missionary Seer." Editor Cavert thinks the editor of the Missionary Seer should not have used such (harsh) language in his condemnatory remarks of the Federated Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Mr. Editor, we did not only condemn the Christian Churches in America, but our anathemas were also aimed at every guilty American in America, whether in church or state. My fight was then, and it is now, in condemnation of the lynching-curse that is going on daily, right under the eyes of the Churches of Christ in America. And they (the churches) are sitting around on their drowsy seats of do nothing. Yet they do not want to be told of their moral cowardice, to say naught of being condemned for their sullen lynchery. Now we have no disposition to be insolent to the editor of the Federal Council Bulletin, for he is an honorable man. We have not meant to be insolent, yet he demands an apology for what appear to him, an unwarranted attack on the Federal Churches of Christ in America for their false pretentions as charged by the editor of the Missionary Seer. We did concur then, and we do now concur with the Executive Committee of the Council in their efforts to bring pressure to bear upon our National Government to suppress the outrages that are now being inflicted upon the Christians in Armenia. But we did take exceptions to that same committee's palsied zealousness, when it comes to the question of our white Americans on the lynching of Negroes in the South. We hold that if it is a wicked thing for the Turks to persecute and massacre Christian Armenians in Armenian, it is worse than wickedness_for white (Christian (?)) Americans to burn at the stake, and torture with red hot irons—burning out the eyeballs of human beings—black Americans, merely because they are black, who are of the same Christian religious professions, as are the people who do the burning and torturing. The editor of the Bulletin waxes warm and indignant because, as he charges, the editor of the Missionary Seer had ignored a warm speech which he, the editor of the Bulletin, had not long since delivered before a large gathering of Anti-Lynchers against lynch law. That was not a hard speech to make at all. And yet we appreciated it. But only a few of the churches of the Council in a negligible way have brought strong pressure to bear upon the powers that be to arraign and punish lynchers and to put out of public office all pro-lynchers. When it comes to the question of condemning the act of lynching Negroes in the South, the churches' press and its pulpits are as tractable as so many spreaddled legged ducklings. The lower House of Congress passed the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. And instead of the Senate following the example of the House, by passing the bill in concurrence; they have simply dilly dallied with it and finally by a democratic filibuster it was killed. If the white church folk of the South had had enough moral courage—just half as much as they have so glibly displayed over the Armenians—to have importuned the President of the United States and the Senators from their own States to pass the Dyer Bill, we might be able to discern the sincere side of their religion. America, that is, this United States portion of it, shows itself up as a blatant hypocrite whenever it starts off to discipline other peoples about their massacres and persecutions of its subjects, or other subjects when it allows worse things to be carried on in its own back yard. There is no defense that the Bulletin editor can logically make in exoneration of the American Government. And so long as this Government is guilty, its people must suffer for the sins that they live under. If the Church is too impotent to stamp out the outrages and sins committed by its own people at home, how dare it attempt to correct those abroad with lesser crimes laid at their doors? We should practice what we preach. Unless we do, why shouldn't we be regarded as hypocrites? There can be $m \neq$ greater curse upon any people than the curse of mob-rule and lynchings. And America is the most guilty of any other civilized nation—Christian or heather. There have been more than three thousand human beings lynched in the United States without the slightest semblance of law for a just trial for the alleged crimes with which they have been charged. The truth of the matter is, that hundreds of black women and men, and even children, have been lynched without ever having been charged with committing any crime at all. And still the churches are just going on shouting, and praising God, and preaching, and sending missionaries abroad to "convert" the "heathens and the savages" in other lands. It is all a farce. It is nothing more than tommy-rot. And this is just about as much of an apology as we feel we could conscientiously offer at this time, brother editor.-The Missionary Seer, official organ of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Lynching on Decrease (Continued from page 1) 27 per cent from the forty year annual average of 79 for the same ten states. The figures for certain states where special efforts have been made to curb lynching are cited as particularly encouraging in their assurance that the habit can be overcome when public sentiment and law unite against it. For example, Alabama with a yearly average of eight lynchings for the forty years, has cut the number to two. Tennessee, with an average of six, had but two last year, and a total of only five in the last four years. Oklahoma and South Carolina, each with an average of four, had but one each in 1922. Louisiana, with an average of nine, has cut the record to three. North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky, each averaging from two to five victims per year for forty years past, had not a single one in 1922. It was pointed out that in several states special legislation has been enacted and found very helpful in curbing lynching, among the most effective measures being a state constabulary under the control of the governor, as in Alabama and Tennessee, and provision for the removal of officers who surrender prisoners to mobs, as in Alabama, Florida, Ken- Dante's Inferno! VIVIDLY REPRODUCED ON THE SCREEN At DUNBAR THEATRE, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, Feb. 22, 23 and 24 The pictures of this great work so closely follow the words and ideas of the poet that in describing the one we cannot help depicting the other. Dante at the age of thirty-five, "in the middle of this our mortal life," the half-way mark of the three score and ten, finds himself in a dark and gloomy forest, which means that he is beset by doubts as to the meaning and mystery of life, as most men at that age are. He attempts to reach the summit of a mountain lit by the sun, hoping there to find joy and peace. His way is barred first by a panther, symbolizing lust, then by a lion, symbolizing pride, and lastly by a she-wolf, symbolizing avarice. He is seized with the bitterness of despair, when he beholds at a distance, likewise at the base of this mountain, a strange figure, whom he addresses and implores for aid. This strange figure is Virgil, a pious poet of the ancient times. Virgil tells him that he has been charged by Beatrice to give him safe conduct through the Inferno on his way to Purgatory and Paradise. Here they see standing and walking upon the beach wicked spirits waiting to be ferried across into the lower depths of Hell. He finds Hell to be arranged in compartments or "circles." In the first circle, called "limbo," are confined those "who have led sinless lives but cannot enter Heaven because they did not know Christ." There is no actual punishment inflicted in that circle. In the next three circles are confined persons guilty of sins or crimes, such as gluttony, anger, spreading of false doctrine, self-murder etc. For these classes progressively severe punishments are provided, the most severe being "tombs of fire." An idea of the variety and severity these punishments may be gained from the detailed statement concerning the eighth circle, which follows. In the eighth circle Virgil and Dante, behold the punishment of those who have been guilty of the various forms of fraud. This circle is subdivided into ten pits, in which are confined the seducers, the flatterers, the simonists, the false prophets, the faithless custodians of other people's money, the hypocrites, the robbers, the false counsellors, sowers of discord and the falsifiers. The seducers and flatterers are plunged in filth, the faithless custodians of other people's money are pursued and tortured by demons. Those who have trafficked in sacred things for the sake of gain are plunged head foremost into burning holes and only the lower portion of their legs remain visible above ground. The false prophets are punished by being condemned to have their faces twisted backward, the hypocrites must wear leaden cloaks. The robbers are pursued and beaten by venomous serpents. The falsifiers are afflicted with leprosy and every form of loathsome disease. A hail of fiery flames falls upon the evil counsellors.

These two measures consistently applied, says the Commission, will make it possible for any state to reduce lynching to the vanishing point. THE WHITE CHRISTS By Guy Fitch Phelps The White Christs come from the East, And they follow the way of the sun; And they smile, as Pale Men ask them to At the things Pale Men have done; For the White Christs sanction the sum of things Whine of the groaning car, Cast, which divides like a wall; Curse of the raw-sored soul; Doom of the great and small; The White Christs fashioned by Pale White Men Prophets of truth have said That Afric and Ind must mourn; And the children of Oman weep Trampled and slashed and torn, Keeping the watch with brown Cathay Till the Black Christs shall be born. —Southeastern Christian Advocate COME AND HEAR "What Does the Dead Know?"

What We Should L Football While Washington is one of the leading cities in the East in many activities pertaining to the development and progress of the race, it is without doubt the "old cow's tail" in its development of baseball. Just why the laxity in this respect, we are at a loss to understand. Surely it is not because of the lack of talent, because if all the local talent now playing on other teams was recalled and combined with other local stars, we could boast of a team equal to any in the country. At present there is a movement on foot to try to put life into the dead spirit so far as it relates to baseball. An effort is being made to organize a six club local league for the coming season. If successfully organized, the league will endeavor to stabilize and standardize baseball here. So far, three clubs have signified their willingness to join the proposed league, leaving only three more berths yet to be filled. A meeting will be held next Monday evening at seven o'clock in THE TRIBUNE office, at which time all managers and persons interested in such a league are requested to attend. If the managers of the several clubs here are anxious to better their lot, the proposed league will certainly offer them a medium through which they can do it. There has been a lot of talking about what we need here, etc.; now is the time for action. The fans can do much toward helping the situation by insisting that the managers do something. Remember Washington will be the "old cow's tail" in baseball as long as the local managers fight each other. They must come together and put aside petty jealousies and cooperate for the good of the game. What We Should Learn From the Past Football Season "THE COLORED INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION" The twelfth annual meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., on March 10th. Mr. W. A. Rogers, secretary, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute is president of the Association and Charles H. Williams, is secretary-treasurer. The following seven institutions complete the enrollment of the Association: Howard, Lincoln, Union Hampton, Shaw, Va. T. S. and, C and Va. N. and L. I. Object of Association A ticle II, of the constitution of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association under the heading "object" states that "the purposes for which this Association is organized are to promote the physical welfare of the students in Colored Educational institutions of higher grade; to foster athletic games and contests in connection with the same; to formulate from time to time and to recommend for adoption by the various authorities controlling athletics in these institutions such regulations as will tend not only to promote clean, manly sport, but also to maintain scholarship; and to adopt and enforce umi- Opens 3 p.

Eligibility Regulations The eligibility regulations of the Association stipulate that no student shall participate in any one sport more than four years; that any student who transfers from one institution to another must remain at the latter institution one year before engaging in intercollegiate athletics; that no student can take part in an intercollegiate contest if conditioned in more than one subject; that four months must elapse before a new student can participate in intercollegiate athletics and that any student is ineligible who ever received money for athletic competition or for instructing players or teams or performed as a member of a professional team. The constituent of the Association also requires that officials be approved by the Executive Council of the Association; that each year an official record of each sport be submitted to the Secretary-Treasurer and that all games must be scheduled six weeks before they are played. Association Lacks Pep The object and rules as set forth in the constitution of the Association m. DUN THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNESATURDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1923 could not be improved upon by any athletic body. Practically every necessity of athletic organizations is covered by the by-laws. But the mere having of a worthy constitution is not sufficient to make a successful association. The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association is not functioning as it should. There are but seven institutions on its enrollment wherein that number should be tripled. Its constitution has been smashed too frequently to be wholesome. The Association has done too little in the past to demand and receive any recognition it may rightfully deserve. But once is it heard of during a year. It does not supervise the conduct of its constituent members, neither dose it preserve collegiate athletic records. What does it do then but meet once a year? Why have an association without administrative power? President Rogers Optimistic We quote in part a letter from President Rogers to the writer "relative to the Association," I feel that the organization has done some good but has only touched upon its possibilities. Ernest efforts have been put forth to make the C. I. A. worth while. We have fallen short in many respects. However, this failure is not due to any one institution in the Association. If every institution gave the right sort of cooperation our Association would be far better." Broader Sphere Urged What is needed is a Colored National Association, embodying institutions of all sections with sectional conferences or associations such as the Texas Conference and North Carolina Association coming under its jurisdiction. The executive staff could be made up of men from regional districts working for their particular section as well as for the parent body. The only way for the C. I. A. A. to take its rightful place as the governing organ of college athletics is to hold all members strictly accountable to the regulations, put into operation a constructive program, and encourage and solicit other institutions to become members. Colored college athletics are too vital not to be protected by some organization able to discuss, recommend, criticize, and vested with a measure of authority. Conference should not alone serve to increase public interest but also aid in keeping college athletics sound and free from the dangers of outside influences. KENTUCKY NORMAL VICTORS Frankfort, Ky.—Fighting to the last whistle, the Central High School Girls of Louisville, Ky., went down to defeat before the basketeers of Kentucky Normal by a score of 8-6. The first half ended 6-5 in favor of the High School Girls and the game went 6-6 for some time in the last half. A "Battling Siki," French Champion who was recently reinstated by the French Boxing Commission, playing the hero's part in a French movie. The title of the picture is "The Knock Out." Siki is very popular among the Frenchmen, much to the distate of the American whites. This was the most stubbornly contested game of basket ball played here this season and practically decides the state championship. The Normalities journeyed to Lexington Tuesday night and defeated the Chandler Normal Girls 15-4. The Bluegrass Girls failed to get a single field basket.

LIGHTNING FIVE BOWS TO ARMSTRONG On February 12, the Lightning Five of Howard University, with some of the best luminaries in basketball in her line-up, bowed to the faster team of lightweights at Armstrong School, 41-29, in what was perhaps the very fastest exhibition of basketball ever seen at the latter school. Lowery, Dash and Wheatland for the Howard boys thrilled the spectators with remarkable exhibitions of floor work, but even more spectacular were the passing, shooting and dribbling of Turner and Ellis of the Manual Trainers.

Adams VIRGINIA BERRY QUIVERS SHINES AS SOLOIST St. Mary's Parish Hall was comfortably filled with an appreciative audience of music lovers and friends on last Monday evening, February 12th, to hear Mrs. Virginia Berry Quivers in a Voice Recital with Mr. Roy. W. Tibbs at the piano, assisted by Miss Marguerite Kennerly, pianist. We are not exaggerating in the least when we say that Mrs. Quivers unequivocally is an artist in every sense of the word. In fact we were agreeably surprised in the quality of both her voice and program as rendered. She held her audience in the palm of her hand, so to speak and thrilled them time and again. Mrs. Quivers possesses a remarkably sweet voice. It is vibrant, sparkling, has depth and breadth and her tone color is exquisite. In the opening number "Come Beloved" (Handel) the soloist showed marked interpretive powers singing it with warmth and feeling. In this number and the second "Ah! Love but a Day" (Beach) she exhibited a wonderful upper voice or head tone, so beautiful, free and resonant. Her high tones were delightful to the ear, in fact, she excels in that more so than in her lower registers (chest and medium) which apparently were thinner and less vibrant in tone form. In "Blackbird Song" (Scott) she showed controll. The language group by Tschaikowsky, Stange and Becker was done with good diction; "Fruhlingzeit" (Becker) (Springtide) receiving greatest applause. It was executed in vigorous style, abounding in gleeful spirit and cheerfulness, inspiring and thrilling with buoyancy of melody. "The Cry of Rachel" was a dignified and majestic rendition sung with marked depth of feeling and emphasis. Her head tones again were superb in Salter's song. She closed with "Restless River" (German); "Lullaby" (from Jocelyn); "Flower Rain" (Schneider), the last named thrilling her hearers to spontaneous applause to which the singer responded with an encore. "Flower Rain" was one of the gems of the program and it was beautifully done with rare shading, masterly phrasing manifesting excellent breath control. The encore number was possibly one of the best numbers of the evening, her freedom of delivery and martellato amazed in its unfolding. It was a fitting climax to a magnificent program. The soloist presented a fine stage appearance and was extremely graceful in rendition. Prof. Tibbs at the ppiano, supported the artist with digpiano, supported the artist with digniste Miss Marguerite Kennerly, gave a masterly rendition to Liszt's "Rhapsody No. 12" and as well her former selection. She is a splendid technician, but above all a scholarly musician in her interpretations. She ably assisted in the program and merited the hearty applause which was given her. The program was a follows:—Come Beloved (From the opera Atalanta), Handel; Ah! Love but a Day, H. H. A. Beach; Blackbird Song, Cyril Scott; St. Francis Walking on the Waves, Liszt, Miss Kennerly; Nur, wer die Sehnsucht kennt, Tschaikowsky: Die Bekehrte, Stange; Fruhlingzeit, Becker; The Cry of Rachel, Salter; Rhapsody No. 12, Liszt, Miss Kennerly; Restless River, German; Lullaby (From Jocelyn), Godard; Flower Rain, Schneider. Thel Columbia Conservatory of Music, 1911 Ninth street northwest, will hold a Student Musical Program in the parlors of the school on next Monday evening, February 19th at 8:30 o'clock, as follows: Program—Piano duet, March of the Brownies, Mrs. Belle Mitchell and teacher; Vocal, Give me my love (Trevelyan), Miss Mary Jones; Banjo-Mandolin, Bingo (Bickford), Mr. William Marshall; Piano, Sourire d-Avril (Depret, Op. 11), Mrs. Violetta Lewis; Violin, Menuet Antique (Aldrich), Mr. John Gibson; Vocal, Zuni Indian Song (Carlos Troyer), Miss Gertrude Gibson; Piano, Sizilietta Serenade (Von Blon), Miss Vivian Walker; (Accompaniment with violin by teacher); Reading, "The Death of Gauntentiest", Miss Mary Reeves; Violin, Prayer (Bertniansky), Mr. Edgar Redmond; Vocal, Dear Heart (Mattei), Mrs. Johnsie Turner; String Quartet (Piano accompaniment) selected, Violins, Messrs J.

SONGS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ELABORATE AND NEW WARDROBE BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE SPECIAL SCENERY DANCERS WHO CANNOT BE EQUALED THEATRE NOTES ANNIVERSARY WEEK AT THE LINCLON During next week which is anniversary week at the Lincoln, two of the greatest productions released by First National Exhibitors will be featured. Both have that punch which the producer, Thos H. Ince alone can inject into screen attractions. Beginning Sunday for a four day run Madge Bellamy and Douglass McLean will be seen in "The Hottentot." "The Hettentot" is the sort of a picture that is sure to appeal to every member of the family. Its comedy is brilliant and wholesome from start to finish. There is a strong love interest and a smashing climax in the magnificent steeplechase. Madge Bellamy, recently starred in Maurice Tourneur's "Lorna Doone," is at her winsome best as the vivacious little sportswoman for whom Sam overcomes fear. Douglas MacLean, as the horsefearing yachtman, and Raymond Hatton, as Swift, the eccentric butler, have worked out clever characterizations that are good for a laugh every time they appear on the screen. On Thursday for three days "Skin Deep" another Ince special will be the attraction. The story of "Skin Deep" hinges upon the complete change in identity of one of the ringleaders of the gang who is frightfully injured in a fall from an airplane while making his escape from prison. That prison escape, by the way, involving a leap from the prison wall to the top of a speeding passenger train is wonderfully spectacular. Remember: Matinees Daily 2 P. M., Sunday night, Special added attractions: Monday night, Surprise night: Friday night Talent night. PEARL WHITE IN "PLUNDER" Her Last Picture Before Entering Convent Paris, Feb. 5.—Pearl White made her confession of faith before an audience in the largest Paris picture house, the Piflace, today. "I am not going to a convent because Harry Pilcer refused to marry me or because I love somebody who doesn't love me. For ten years I have taken good care of my body and neglected my soul. Now I am going to look after my soul. I am going to a convent tomorrow, but I do not know how long I shall stay," she said. Speaking in broken French, she was greeted frantically. "She has become very religious," Mr. Verando, her manager, said afterward, "and if her spirit is strong enough to resist the lure of beautiful clothes and her gay friends in Paris she will take up a religious life." "Plunder" will be run at Dunbar Theatre, beginning Sunday, February 25 and Monday 26. Music lovers of Washington will have a great treat when the production of the "Open Door Pageant" comes to the Lincoln Theatre, March 14th and 15th. "The Open Door," a little pageant, or better a morality play with music, has been presented before crowded and enthusiastic audiences, in the South and in the North, from Savannah to Boston. The Pageant portrays symbolically through music and rhythm, the progress of the Negro race from primitive days to the present time. All of the actors and musicians are Negroes and much of the orchestration is by Negro composers. Among the musical numbers are the works of Harry T. Burleigh, Nathaniel Dett, Coleridge-Taylor, and Clarence Cameron White, all well known to Washington music lovers. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, a former resident of this city, will lead the orchestra. Mrs. Gertrude Ware Bunce, who has directed the "Open Door" wherever it has been given, is the daughter of the founder and first president of Atlanta University, Edmund Asa Ware. She grew up on the school campus, and after studying in the North, returned to the school, as head of the Kindergarten Department. After sixteen years in this capacity, the pageant called her, and she has since, devoted to it much of her time, taking its message to people in many cities. The production of the pageant here is sponsored by the Atlanta Alumni Club, and is given for the benfit of the school. BATH-LATEST NOVELTY Do you like to read a book and smoke a cigarette while taking a bath? You have a right to think this is too personal a question. However, it is not as personal as it sounds. There are people who like to lazy about in the morning, and have plenty of time to kill. Such a person is Anthony Patch, the hero of "The Beautiful and Damned," the picture, adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's best seller, which will be shown at the Broadway Theater week beginning February 25th. Anthony enjoys this form of indoor sport and practices it constantly. The bath room as seen in the picture, is of marble tile Within easy reach of the bath is a little recess, consisting of book shelves, with several dozen books reposing thereon. There is also a humidor containing choice cigarettes, and a pipe ready for Anthony when he wants to change. Miss Prevost has a strong supporting cast in this picture. It includes Kenneth Harlan, Tully Marshall, Harry Meyers, Parker McConnell, Clarence Burton, Walter Long, George Kuwa, Charles McHugh, Lou- HOWARD T STREET NE TEST AND MOST PRONOUN RAYMOND DALEY Presents HOGOLA est 50 PEC Leon Diggs, Billy Arnte, Jazz War ington, Josephine Jones—also Erne orld Famous Ginger Snap and Fla BAND CONCERT DAILY—WATCH FOR BIG STREET PARADE ise Fazenda, Kathleen Key and Cleo Ridgeley. AT THE HOWARD By Quentin "How Come" that splendid organization is playing a return engagement to capacity audiences at the Howard Theatre. They have the same large talented company as on its first appearance and I must say greatly improved putting over their comedy and song numbers with telling effect, so those who missed seeing the wonderful aggregation have something to regret. Bandanna Girl, Sunshine and Come on Lets Strut are some of the big musical numbers. "CHOCOLATE TOWN" COMING TO HOWARD THEATRE. "Chocolate Town," o conglomeration of everything from high-class minstrelsy to grand opera, presented by a company of 50 colored artists, will be the attraction at the Howard Theater for next week.

The second part of the show is given over to musical comedy, opening with "Kicky Koo," which is a Hawaiian idea and is backed by a chorus of class, dressed up for the occasion. Then follows a big musical operatic ensemble styled "Society," in which the entire company take part. "The Oklahoma Wild Cat Oil Company" is the title of the ensuing comedy act, and is a howl from start to finish, and the performance is brought to a close with "The Frolies and Pastimes of 1865" with a great bunch of foot-work by the entire aggregation.

(T7157, The Tribune is in receipt of severa communications endorsing its stanc for fair play for Marcus Garvey, ‘We ‘cannot publish all of them but will quote a few sentences from one of ‘the best which will give their trend. oat 1 & Williams of 1207-a South ‘Capitol street, among other things ‘says: “In regard to the article in the Washington Post of February Ist, I was never more dumfounded than when I read that article eminating from men that I would never have thought could have allowed themselves to fall so low. “Solomon spoke wisely when he said: ‘Jealousy is the rage of a man.”..... Surely no man who has an ounce of judgement could afford to take issue with Mr, Garvey in his effort to arouse the consciousness of the Negro peoples of the World to a realization of their condition. “My God what will not some people do to carry their point? . . . Garvey has proved his worth as an organizer of men. He has done that which many have said colud not be done. So now it is up to his crities to do something tangible so as to prove their worth.” To the Washington tribune: ‘There exists today at Howard Univ- ersity, a feeling and a collegiate spirit different from that at any other Univ- ersity in America both on the part of the faculty and the student body. ‘The question is where does ‘the trouble take root; in the higher of- fieials or in the student body? It is felt seemingly that the trouble started from the higher officials and his found its way into the student body. The great number of grievances and con- flicts on the part of the students in the past three years gives evidence of something going wrong somewhere. In 1918-19 came the trouble over the jubilee melodies sang at chapel services when great crowds of white visitors were invited by the president to attend the services. Then came ‘trouble from compulsory laws for all students in Clark Hall to board in the dining room. In the next year came the legislation making chapel at- tendance compulsory, which was fol- lowed by a strike. ‘Then in this year’s regulations there is a law enacted by the faculty restricting dancing. Later came a fight against Dean Lucy Slowe on the grounds that she had exercised too much power, such as restrictions and suspending young women of the University. It seems to be the idea of the student body that the Academic faculty should wield some of the power that Dean Slowe is now using so arbitrarily. Something should be and must be done soon to curb the threatened out- break. There should be a heart to heart talk between the faculty and the ‘student body, so that these matters can be thrashed out. The University atmosphere is charged with un- necessary ill feeling, The teachers seem to be dissatisfied; and appear not to be interested in any part of the University’s activities outside of their few hours of teacning. The students ‘are antagonistic towar many of the ‘teachers apparently because of the lack of interest in the student on the | part of teachers. |" Another menaz2 to the good feel: ing on the hill is the selfish and nar- row fighting and unfair competitior |between the various fraternities. This fighting, which in most eases is honey- combed with trickery, permeats al athletic and student organizations: and to a large degree, hinders these organizations. from doing anything constructive. Howard University, through its of- ficials, must remedy this situation o1 else the University will eventualls reap the results of all this dissatis. faction, The fraternities, sororitie: and other student organizations shoulé join hands, and thru an open forum or in some manner, frankly discuss these problems.

Blanks THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1923 INDEPENDENCE Do not aspire to be a painted face flapper, nor merely a well dressed vamp. Life holds too much for such trivials; for such waste of one's life. Be industrious and be a toiler. To her who toils comes independence. By independence I mean: You can select a good worthy man for a husband— You will not have to accept any makeshift of a man who aspires to you. You can be a home owner— You will not have to be a mere tenant in the house which is the property of some man. You will not have to dread the coming of the doctor or nurse— You can meet emergency bills because you are prepared. MY FAVORITE NEGRO: FREDERICK DOUGLASS Douglass was born in Tuckaho, Maryland, in February 1817. He was the son of a Negro slave. Later he became a noted American lecturer. In 1832 he was captured by a Baltimore ship-builder; six years after he was captured he made his escape. Douglass taught himself how to read and write. He was employed by the Anti-Slavery Society as one of their lecturers. In 1845 he published an autobiography and afterwards made a successful lecture tour in England. In 1871 he was appointed secretary of the commission to Santo Domingo. Douglass was a marshal for the District of Columbia in 1877. He died in Washington, D. C., February 20, 1895. LEONA HARPIS Age 14 BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Booker Talliaferro Washington was born a slave on a large plantation near Hale's Ford Post Office in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1858 or 1859. As a boy he was poor and when his mother would only give him a little bit of molasses he would run it over the plate to make it look like a lot. In August 1865 his mother moved to Malden, West Virginia. He first attended the public school in 1866. In 1872 he went to Hampton and asked permission to enter there. The manager laughed at him but he begged so earnestly that the manager told him if he would sweep the floor clean enough, he would let him stay. The manager then went out. Booker swept the floor but was not satisfied, then he took his handkerchief and went over it so that when the manager came in he readily consented to let him stay. As a student he was in very poor circumstances, and as he did not have five or six pairs of socks as men have now-a-days he had to wash his socks at night so as to have them to wear the next day. He graduated from Hampton in 1875. He then taught at the Malden Public School. Later he was called to Hampton to take charge of and teach the Indian boys. He remained in this position until 1881, when he was called to Alabama on July 4, establishing the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of which he remained principal until his death on November 14, 1915. Washington is ranked as one of the greatest Negroes this country has produced. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: I have just been getting used to the "Children's Page" I am nine years old, in the fifth grade at Garnet School. I like the puzzles. ANTOINETTE TUCKER Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" for a long time. I have just made up my mind to write. My father and mother are subscribers to The Tribune. I have answered several puzzles. Let's have some nicknames for our Page. For mine I would like Peggy. I have a story I will send in soon. LOUISE E. AMOS (Age 10) Dear Editor: You have not heard from me for sometime and I guess you have forgotten me but I am still going to be a Tribunite. I hope all of the children are enjoying the "Children's Page." Now I am enclosing a poem called "Better Than Gold." FRANCES BOYD (Age 15) Better than grandeur, better than gold, Than rank and titles a thousand fold. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. Is a healthy body, a mind at ease And simple pleasures that always please; A heart that can feel for another's woe. And share his joys with a genial glow, With sympathies large enough to en- fold All men as brothers, is better than gold. Better than gold is a conscience clear; Though toiling for bread in a humble sphere, Doubly blessed with content and health, Untried by the lusts or cares of wealth Lowly living and lofty thought Adorn and enoble a poor man's cot; For mind and morals, in Nature's plan, Are the genuine test of a gentleman. Better than gold is the sweet repose Of the sons of toil when their labors close; Better than gold is a poor man's sleep, And the balm that drops on his slumber deep Bring sleeping draughts on the downy bed, Where luxury pillows his aching head His simple opiate labor deems A shorter road to the land of dreams. Better than gold is a thinking mind, That, in the realm of books, can find A treasure surpassing Australian ore. And live with the great and good of yore, The sage's lore and the poet's lay, The glories of empires passed away, The world's great drama, will thus unfold, And yield a pleasure better than gold Better than gold is a peaceful home, Where all the fireside characters come The shrine of love, the heaven of life Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife However humble the home may be, Or tried with sorrow by Heaven's decree, The blessings that never were bought or sold. And center there, are better than gold THIS WEEK'S BEST LETTER Dear Editor: I am a stranger to the "Children's Page" and I am sending in my first article on good manners. I attend Douglass School, 7-8 Grade. Good Manners Quiet manners are everywhere a mark of good breeding. It is ill bred to slam doors, to talk too loud, too fast or too much. He who has good manners will find it easier to get along in life than he who lacks them. Good manners is the greatest charm that one can possess. Young people should cultivate them; there is one way to obtain them (good manners) and that is by constant daily practice. Always use good manners at home and school, then you need not be alarmed when among strangers, for it will be perfectly natural to be polite and respectful to all. Remember that politeness is of great value, yet costs nothing but your own pains to acquire. LUCILE SLAUGHTER, (Age 12) (Dear Lucile: Please send us your address.—Ed.) YESTER-DAY, TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW Yester-day you smiled and laughed, And romped and jumped with glee I croomed to you a lullaby— You cooed it back to me. To-day you smile again, my dear, You've gurgled much with joy; You're tired, and you come to me A much spoilt sleepy boy. To-morrow you will be a man And I'll be bent and gray— I wonder if you'll love me then As yester- and to-day. —C. LESLIE FRAZIER. EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation (Continued from last week) Editor's Note: Notes pertaining to this article will be published next week. "EMANCIPATION," GROUP WASHINGTON AND BOSTON By Thomas Ball A group by Thomas Ball calls for particular consideration and analysis. Mr. Ball was well known through several fine works—one, an equestrian statue of General Washington in Boston—when, in 1865, he made a striking half-life-size group showing "Lincoln and a Kneeling Slave." Later this was "expanded" into the "Emancipation" group in Lincoln Park, Washington, set up in 1876. This enlarged group was paid for with money contributed by former slaves. A replica of this large group was made for and set up in Boston, a gift to the city by the Hon. Moses Kimball, one of the citizens. THE STATUE OF THE MASTER AND THE SCHOLAR EMANCIPATION (group) Washington and Boston by Thomas Ball the light of its original purpose and its time—all tend to prove that Mr. Ball, indeed, "felt what he was doing." And yet from what has gone before, it need occasion no surprise for me to say that I regard this group, as far less adequate that it has been popularly regarded. We may concede with Mr. Taft that the conception of Lincoln in certain respects is lofty, but the group as a whole is an unsatisfactory representation—repeating and insisting that we are now considering it under its adopted name, "Emancipation." The sculptor has given to the figures in this group attitudes and expressions which are too strongly suggestive of the conventional representations of Jesus and the Magdalene. In fact, Ball has come perilously near making Mr. Lincoln appear to be saying: "Go, and sin no more," or, "Thy sins be forgiven thee." As for the kneeling—or is it crouching?—figure, his attitude and expression indicate no elevated emotion, or any apparent appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of his new position and little if any conception of the dignity and power of his own personality and manhood, now first recognized and respected by others. He seems to have a hazy idea that he is more or less, or maybe is about to be made, free, but it appears probable that introspectively, he is yet a "kneeling slave." In his attitude he more exemplifies a man who perhaps has escaped extreme punishment by commutation of sentence (see Note A.) than a man who feels that he is one of those who, as the Declaration of Independence expresses it, "are, and of right ought to be free". If he should speak, he would probably mur- The popularity of this group—the fact that it is repeatedly used in an illustrative and pictorial way as the very exemplification and symbol of "the Emancipation"—is conclusive evidence of the need of an "enlarged vision," and of greater circumspection and care in analysis and interpretation. Mr. Taft enthuses over this group. He says: "His [Ball's] conception of Lincoln is a lofty one . . . One of the inspired works of American sculpture; a great theme expressed with emotion by an artist of intelligence and sympathy, who felt what he was doing." Mr. Ball's life and works—particularly his intimate portrayal of his inmost ideas and sympathies as they are set forth in his book, "M y Three-score Years and Ten," and this group itself, in ND THE FREED IN SCULPTURE interpretation by MORRIS MURRAY mur, dubiously and querulously, "O Mr. Lincoln! am I——?" Whereas, Ward's "Freedman" plainly and some- what resolutely says: "Well Sir; you see I am." It should be borne in mind, however, that this group by Ball was not modeled originally as an "Emancipation" group, but was called, as has been stated, "Lincoln and a Kneeling Slave." (see Note B.) Ball's chief fault, if fault it was, consisted in his consent to its use as a representation or symbol of Emancipation. However, in his book before mentioned, Mr. Ball indicates that his part in the matter was merely to enlarge the original half-life-size group to its present size—about nine feet high—on the order of the Freedmen's Memorial Association which planned to erect it as a memorial to Mr. Lincoln. In a booklet which relates the occurrences and ceremonies attendant on the presentation and dedication of ON (group) Washington and Boston by Thomas Ball the Boston replica, there is a statement, descriptive and interpretative of the group. The author of the statement is not named, nor are the sources of the information stated. However, internal evidences indicate that not all of it, if any, was derived directly from the sculptor himself. We read: "The work was conceived and executed by Mr. Ball under the first influence of the news of Mr. Lincoln's assassination. "The original group was in Italian marble, and differs in some respects from the bronze group. In the original the kneeling slave is represented as perfectly passive, receiving the boon of freedom from the hand of the great liberator. But the artist has justly changed all this, to bring the presentation nearer to the historical fact, by making the emancipated slave an agent in his own deliverance. He is represented as exerting his own strength, with strained muscles, in breaking the chain which had bound him. A greater degree of dignity and vigor, as well as of historical accuracy, is thus imparted." The booklet from which I have quoted was loaned to me by Miss Helen F. Kimball whose father presented the group to the city of Boston in 1879, three years after the Washington group was put in place. There is no gainsaying Mr. Kimball's noble motives, for he was a high-minded patriot and a consistent friend of the Freed people. In his proffer of the group to the city, he refers to it as one "emblematical of Emancipation"; the same group which had been erected in Washington by the exslaves' organization as a memorial to Mr. Lincoln. Of course there is no inherent rea- or course, there is no limit. By J.D.D. son why a group, properly designed, might not answer for both the purposes named. But the above quotation clearly indicates that at the time the original group was being "expanded," its inadequacy, even as incidentally a symbolization of Emancipation, had been recognized. But it must be admitted that the group, at least in its altered form, regarded merely as a memorial to Mr. Lincoln, is much less open to objections. Yet, considered simply as a memorial, it would have been improved perhaps by removing the naked slave altogether. Coming back to the description above quoted, it would appear to be more nearly a statement of intentions and desires than of actual accomplishments, so far as the enumerated alterations are concerned. I have not been able to see a picture of the original marble(?) group so cannot determine to what extent it was changed. But whatever alterations were actually made, viewing the group as it now stands, it requires a pretty strong pull on the imagination to find warrant for the claim that the slave is "exerting his own strength with strained muscles." If, indeed, such action or its results, were obvious, or, we may say, a little more obvious, visually, the acceptability of the group would be greatly enhanced. There still remains unmentioned, certain objections to the group, but these have little to do with interpretation. To mention these supposed faults here might tend to make all my criticisms seem captious if not presumptious; and probably they will be so regarded by some persons. As it is, I have tried within reasonable limits to justify the criticisms that I have thought should be made, for it would be little less than presumption if I were dogmatically to assume to rule out wholly these admittedly striking and appealing groups in Washington and Boston, which so many of my fellow-citizens and fellow-sufferers have so highly regarded if not revered. Note A—A large iron ball, with attached chain and ankle fetters such as convicts frequently carry, but which slaves in America seldom or never did, gives added color to the convict idea. Note B—Ball, in his book, "My Three-score Years and Ten," refers tothe group as, "Lincoln and a liberated slave." (Continued next week) THE JOLLY MISTER By Grace E.

C., under the Act of March 8, 1879. a een ee A NEW POLICE JUDGE Seven civic associations of the District have passed reso- lutions asking the Commissoners for additional police court facilities, which is natural and proper for there is a large number of cases—500 or more—awaiting disposition because of inadequate facilities of the present organization of the police court. The population of the District is constantly growing and it is impossible for two judges to handle all of the cases brought before the police court. This congestion of the police docket is detrimental to good government and results in faulty ad- ministration of justice. Therefore, the need for an additional judge in the police court is evident. The demand has been made to create the additional division. Would it not be wise for the colored civic associations to ask that the additional police judge to be ap- pointed*should be a colored man. Nearly one third of the population of the District is made up of colored citizens. The latest census report of the Health Department gives the colored population of the District as 112,364, and that of the whites as 341,662. We have Judge Terrell in the Municipal Court and should have one of the Police Judges. There are a greater number of our people in the police court than in all the rest of the courts of the District; and it is only fair that we should have ‘representation in this court where the most of our people find themselves in the tentacles of the law. The Commissioners are usually fair in their apportionment when such matters are properly called to their attention. Let the various civic associations pass resolutions asking that the additional division of the police court be presdied over by a colored man as judge. TWO LAW SCHOOLS ‘The result of the recent Bar examination presents an inter- esting feature in the 100 per cent success of the graduate of the John M, Langston Law School, connected with Freling- huysen University, and the 100 per cent failure of the gradu- ates of the Howard Law School, of Howard University. There were nine colored applicants for admission to the District Bar but only one of the nine passed and that was Chas. H. Toms, of Edwards, Miss., who graduated from the John M. Langston Law School, in June 1922. He was the only colored man out of 120 persons admitted to the Bar on Monday. Attorney L. Melendez King is dean of the John M. Langston Law School. Both the president of Frelinghuysen University and the dean of the law school are colored men. In fact all,of the instructors are colored. The president of Howard Univer- sity and the dean of the law school of Howard are white. In a competitive examination a graduate of the strictly colored university passes while all of the graduates who took this ex- amination from the colored school with the white president and white dean, fail. This is a concrete fact worthy of considera- tion. “CONSISTENCY THOU ART A JEWEL” the supreme Order of Helpers (Negro), who own the build- ing located at 615 I street northwest, had the front of their building painted recently, by white painters. Attorney W. L, Houston is at the head of the “Helpers.” which is strictly a colored organization, and they demonstrated wonderful ra- cial consciousness by “helping” white painters to a nice little job on the front of the headquarters building of this strictly colored organization.

Doneghy called a meeting of the former varsity men and the applicants for next season which wa: held in Library Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss plans for puting into effect a better training schedule or a more systematized ba- sis of its operation and the awarding of letters at the end of the season. After many prolonged talks on the system in former years of the train- ing table, it was finally decided that 4 petition be seni to the faculty asking for board throughout the month of December which would cover the rime bétween September 15th and December 31 taking in the whole a ee THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1923 | first quarter. The men feel that this would give them ample time to shape themselves for their work, bringing embarassment to no one. Heretofore it has been the policy of the adminis- tration to send the men a bill for ‘December board immediately after ‘the Annual Classic. This in many in- stances has set up circumstances caus- ing many men to drop out of school to seek employment during the second quarter, after secrificing their time on the gridiron for the school, The next item for discussion was the letters. The administration feels that jerseys with letters should not be awarded yearly, but that one sweater be given the men participat- ing in the Lincoln game, and in the event that an honor is won the second year only theTetter be awarded to be attached to the original jersey. Of course this would necessitate a more durable, a stronger and more costly jersey than the usual. This would impress the men if better jerseys were awarded. ‘Mr, Lewis Watson head of the De- partment of Physical Education at- tended the meeting. Mr. Watson in speaking of ‘next season's schedule stated that Howard would play More- house and Wilberforce in Washing- ton. He was asked when the call would be made for the men to report. He stated that he did not know defi- nitely, as it is not known just who is to be the next coach. Although Mr. Watson is head of the Department of physical education, it is felt that he is the only logical man to coach. The former head of the department, Ma- jor Dean did not engage in shaping the men, because he lacked athletic training and experience; but Mr. Wat- son is a football player, track man and former coach himself and the necessary arrangements can be made through the University authorities to have him kill both birds with one shot. He is trained efficiently in con- ditioning men and is the man for the job; all that is necessary is the touch of the authoritative pen. The meeting lasted an hour and a ‘half, THE DEANWOOD BLACK SOX MEETS The Deanwood Black Sox, Dean- wood’s sécond best team in 1922, is preparing for a big season On Fri- day 9th, at the Deanwood School the Black Sox held their second meeting of the year, The team will be out this season to-win the junior champion- ship of the District and to give some of those second class first string teams good games | The D.

BOARD OF RASKET BALL OFFICIALS ORGANIZED There has recently been organized in this city a Board of Basket Ball Officials among the Approved A. A. U,, Officials of colored men. It is the purpose of this Board to interpret basket ball rules for general uplift of lovers of that sport, to lend a spirit of improvement to the style of play among our many contesting teams ,to advise coaches of the chang- es in rules, to insure to the public clean and impartial decisions in all games, thereby removing any sus- picion of corrupt influence to win or lose games for pecuniary benefit. ‘The officers of the newly created Board are: President, Mr. Benjamin Washing- ton, who is responsible for the or- ganization, and secretary treasurer, Mr. Isaae Cupid. The personnel is as follows: Mr. Edwin B. Henderson, Mr. C. H. Penderhughes, Mr. I New- ton Miller, Mr. Thomas Johnson, Mr. E. C, Westmoreland. The competence and impartiality of these men is beyond dispute, and the city can be assured of satisfactory officiating in all basket ball games in which they participate.
