District C Case Came Up On Ground Receive a Fair and The Supreme Court of the United States, thru Justice Holmes, delivered its opinion, Monday, the 19th, in the case of Frank Moore, Ed Hicks, J. E. Knex, et al., appellants, from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of the State of Arkansas, who had been condemned to death in the Elaine riot case of September, 1919; reversing the decision of the lower Court, thus sending the case back to the U. S. District Court in Arkansas. The opinion, by Justice Holmes says "This is an appeal from the order of the District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, dismissing a writ of habeas corpus upon demurrier, the presiding judge certifying that there was probable ground for allowing the appeal. The appellants are five Negroes who were convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death by the Court of the State of Arkansas. The ground for the petition of the writ is that the proceedings in the State Court, altho a trial in form, were only the pressure of a mob without any regard for their rights and without, according to them due process of law. "On the night of September 30, 1919, a number of colored people assembled in their church were attacked and fired upon by a body of white men; and in the disturbance that followed a white man was killed. The report of the killing caused great excitement and was followed by a hunting down and shooting of many Negroes and also by the killing on October 1st, of one Clinto Lee, a white man, for whose murder the petitioners were indicted. They seem to have been arrested with many others on the same day. The petitioners say that Lee must have been killed by other whites. "They say their meeting was to employ counsel for protection against extortions practiced upon them by the landowners and that the landowners tried to prevent their effort, but that was being passed by as not directly bearing upon the trial. "On November 3rd, the petitioners were brought into Court, informed that a certain lawyer was appointed their counsel and were placed on trial before a white jury—blacks being systematically excluded from both grand and petit juries. The Court was crowded with a throng that threatened the most dangerous consequences to anyone interfering with the desired result. The counsel did not venture to demand delay or a change of venue, to challenge a juryman or to ask for separate trials. He_had no preliminary consultation with the accused, called no witnesses for the defense altho they could have been produced, and did not put the defendants on the stand. The trial lasted about three quarters of an hour and in less than five minutes the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. According to the allegations and affidavits there never was a chance for the petitioners to be acquitted; no juryman could have voted for an acquital and continued to live in Phillips County, and if any prisoner by any chance, had been acquitted by WASHINGTON'S FAVORITE This Coupon May be Exchanged THE HOWARD T For TEN VOTES in addition to the Vote Admission Ticket VOTE FOR YOUR F The Washington Tribune Published Weekly Approves Supreme To Make or Life Before Court in Ark. und That Men Did Not d Impartial Trial TRIBUNE ARTICLE STIRS THE IRE OF SOUTHERNERS Representative William C. Lankford of the 11th District of Georgia, in his attempt to answer an article appearing in The Tribune of January 27, covering a speech he had delivered in Congress, had inserted in the Congressional Record of Monday February 19th several lengthy excerpts from The Tribune's article. Lankford said he was using these excerpts to prove that the Northern Negro is offensive insulting and impudent. Lankford who hails from Douglas, Ga., came into the limelight recently when he attacked the Negroes of Washington because they use the Union Station, the public parks, the street cars and other public places just as other people do. Lankford being from Georgia, of course desires to have all Negroes segregated. He terms any Negro who desires pure, unadulterated, American freedom, impudent, insulting and offensive. Coming from a section where modern civilization has not as yet been fully embraced, where human beings are burned at the stake, where penal slavery still exists and where the Negro has no rights that the whites are bound to respect, Lankford's ignorance of other sections of the United States, can in a way be excused. To his narrow mind, the civilized world consists of the 11th District of Georgia and Washington, D. C., and is peopleled by whites of his ilk and the sort of Negroes who abound in his section, who are ignorant, submissive, and cowed. For any Negro to desire a status in life above that of menial servant at Southern wages (two to six dollars a month) is a crime. He bleieves that when this planet was created, the Almighty personally turned it over to the whites and told them to run things just as they saw fit; that the whites were given the keys to the front door and the Negroes were shown how to slip up the latch at the back; that all privileges in the world were carefully wrapped and given to the whites to be parceled out to other people as the whites desired. If you desire to be treated like a citizen; to enjoy the fruits of your toil and play as big a part in a government you help sustain and defend as you are capable of; if such desires are insolent, offensive and insulting, then the time has come for all Negroes to enroll in this class; and Lankford and his kind are doing a good deal towards increasing its size by continuing such tactics as he seemingly delights in pursuing. the jury he could not have escaped the mob.

Students in Mass Meeting Declare They Only Object To Power Given Her The troubled situation at Howard University among the student body somewhat clarified itself during the week. A meeting was held some days ago at which time many points of differences were cleared up. An erroneous impression seemed to have been created that the students were fighting Dean Slowe. To the contrary the students, it was pointed out have the highest regard for Miss Slowe, but were protesting the broad powers given her by the Academic council. While trouble over the designating of this power has been brewing for some time, it was recently brought to a head by the suspension of several students without the Academic Council approving the action. On being asked by the Academic Council for suggestions looking toward an amiable settlement of the present trouble, the Student Council and Student body in a recent meeting approved the following three suggestions: 1. That the Academic Council state the method of procedure in making appeals; 2. That recommendations be through the Student Council; 3. When appeals are to be heard before the Academic Council that the votes of the dean of men and the dean of women be reserved. The Academic Council is expected to act on these recommendations at an early date. Busniess Changes Mr. E. J. Nelson has purchased the stock of The Peoples Grocery Company, located in the Douglass Cooperative building at the corner of 8th and Florida Avenue. Mr. Nelson has been working in the grocery business for the past fourteen years and brings to his own business rich experience and is turning that experience into results at his store. He has increased the stock in the store and carries a full line of fresh meats, vegetables and country eggs and poultry. Mrs. B. Claderbuck is associated with Mr. Nelson as clerk and she is an experienced grocery clerk, having served for several years in a store in Chicago. She has that personality which pleases and once you visit Mr. Nelgon's store, you feel that you want to return again. Y.W.C.A.Starts Campaign For 1923 Budget Institution Has Done Great Service Since Its Organization Here The Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association for colored women and girls of Washington with open a campaign on March 1st to $10,000. They have not appealed to the public for funds for maintenance and extension work since November, 1921. The receipts for 1922 were $29,025.27 and expenses $34,615.50. The Phyllis Wheatley is endorsed by the Washington Council of Social Agencies and the Endorsement Committee on Welfare Organizations of the District of Columbia. It is 17 years old and is directly affiliated with the National Y. W. C. A. of New York City. They are faithfully and conscientiously working toward the big program which the Y. W. C. A. all over the world is trying to realize for all women and girls. Recently there appeared at the door of the "Y" a teen-age girl with a bundle in her arms at three in the morning. Upon investigation it was found that the bundle was a wee baby and the bewildered mother, with an indistinct address vaguely impressed upon her mind, was seeking her husband. They were taken in, given a warm bath and comfortable bed. The next problem was to find the husband. With the cooperation of the agencies whose duty it is to look after such cases, he was found and before nightfall the family was united. An elderly woman, whose home in a southern city had been sold for taxes and debt, arrived in Washington without funds to go further. She had lived in Brooklyn and had a son there and a small bank deposit, but did not know how to reach the son or to get the money. She was cared for at the "Y," given warmer clothing, put in touch with the son and the bank balance secured for her. A girl from a distant city came to Washington seeking work in answer to an "ad." A porter to whom she appealed for instructions on the train as to how to reach the place, offered to accompany her saying, "It is a place to which I would not like to have my sister go." The girl upon finding that the advertisement and the advertiser did not agree in her estimation, decided to take the porter's advice and go to the "Y," where she was further convinced and found what a Y. W. C. A. means to a girl so stranded in a strange city. Do not such acts appeal to you? Does not the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., which is the only "open door" to the friendless girl and woman, deserve your moral aid and financial support? The Board of Directors and entire management of Phyllis Wheatley are made up of colored women. They invite your inspection and constructive criticism during "Come and See Week," March 4th to 10th. ENDOWMENTFUND DRIVE REACHES $50,000 MARK Honor Roll of Thousand Dollar Donors is Increased By Two The drive of the Medical School at Howard University for $250,000 continued through last week and up to Monday of this week with unabated fury. During the week the total of the subscriptions reached $43,212. The Honor Roll Club composed of persons or organizations who contributed one thousand dollars, was increased from 19 as announced last week to 21 this week. The two new gifts came from Dr. P. W. Price, $1,000 and Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia, $1,000. President Durkee and Dr. Emmett J. Scott were special guests of the Medico-Chirurgical Society at its meeting last Thursday night, February 15. At the conclusion of the general discussion, attention was called to the campaign which is under way to raise $250,000 so as to claim the conditional gift of the General Education Board. A motion was made and carried unanimously that $1000 of the $1200 remaining over from the entertainment fund of the Medical Convention held here last summer, be donated toward the endowment of the Medical School. Dr. Price made his subscription at this meeting. The matter of checking up on the subscriptions and properly cataloging them for collection is now under way. The managers of the drive here will carry it to other cities just as soon as arrangements are completed. The University has until July 1st to raise $250,000 in order to receive a like sum from the General Educational Board. This Endowment Fund is necessary in order to maintain the Class A standing of the Medical School. GEORGETOWN ASKS NUTRITION CLASS Nutrition classes in the public schools are a comparatively new institution, but their value is already established The favor with which they are meeting was reflected in the action of the Community Christian Endeavor Society of Georgetown last Sunday evening when it passed a resolution asking that such a class be established in that section of the city.

Sergeant Jones recently returned from Atlanta, Ga., where he carried twenty-five prisoners to the Federal Penitentiary. CITIZENSHIP DENIED TO HINDU AS NOT WHITE Considerable enlightenment was thrown by the Supreme Court in a decision yesterday upon the meaning of the words "free" white persons," as used in the naturalization laws. The decision was in a case brought by Bhagat Singh Thind, a Hindu of high caste of full Indian blood, born in Punjab, India, who was granted a certificate of citizenship by the United States district court for Oregon, over the protest of the government. The court yesterday denied his right to citizenship. Having decided recently in the Ozawa case that a Japanese was not entitled to naturalization because the term "free, white persons" was synonymous with Caucasian, the court yesterday indicated it had intended to leave the question to be dealt with in doubtful and different cases by the "process of judicial inclusion and exclusion." The mere fact that an applicant could establish a line of descent from a Caucasian ancestor was not necessarily conclusive, it explained. laid before the Board of Education. An effort is being made to line up all the religious, civic and benevolent organizations in support of the clsas. A class for the systematic study of the Bible has been organized by the Community Christian Endeavor Society of Georgetown to meet on Saturday evening of each week. Dr. James A.

While the recently Southernized Northerner did not use exactly the above words, his meaning was unmistakable. Bryan's statement was such a shock that even the Southern Society before whom the Commoner was speaking had to gasp. The new exponent of racial segregation was a guest of the Southern Society at their annual banquet at the Hotel Willard last Tuesday night. He came late on the program as an impromptu speaker. Although all the speakers were practically Southerners, Bryan was the only one who in any way discussing the race question. Bryan stated that he "finds that the Southland is confronted by a condition and not a political theory, and that there is no remedy for it except the undisputed dominance of the superior civilization. Northerners who hold other views simply don't know. If Massachusetts faced the issues the South faces, she would do exactly what the Virginians do to meet them." Bryan further argued that "The Jeffersonian doctrine about all men being created free and equal could not be littrally interpreted or enforced where there is a manifest inferiority as between one racial civilization and another. Amid such conditions the superior civilization would and must be the ascendant factor." Bryan declared that he had watched the South's laws at work for a decade and that they had convinced him that no other system was possible. He declared the South's method is immeasurably preferable to the theoristic doctrines of Massachusetts or the experiment of Illinois. Though delivered before a Southern audience, Bryan admonished his hearers that his remarks were primarily intended for Northern consumption, and gave the impression that he may become an evangelist in propagating it North, East and West. William Jennings Bryan became a national figure in the Democratic presidential convention of 1896 and since then has held the spot light because of his various activities. He holds the record in running for president, having been an active or potential candidate since 1896. At times he has championed the cause of the Filipinos, and the prohibitionists, recently he began an assault on the Darwinian theory. His native state was Nebraska until a few years ago when under the guise of "seeking his health," he migrated to sunny Florida Since making his abode in Florida, Bryan has evidently been undergoing the gradual change that all Northerners must go through if they would be in favor in the South. Evidently Bryan has (Continued on page 8) --- LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Georgia State Club The Georgia State Club held its third meeting of the year Monday February 19th, at its regular meeting place, 1905 9th Street, N.

Prof. Wilkinson a member of the Board of Directors of the Century Club requested Mr Stevenson who is leaving the Association the first of March to preside, and handle the meeting in his own way. A suggestion was made that it be turned into a forum with the result that the following subject which was offered by Mr. F. L. Cardozo was accepted and thoroly discussed: "Have the Colored People of the District of Columbia reached the point where they can support public charities which are supported in part by White People for the benefit of Colored People?" The consensus of opinion seemed to be that they have not reached the point where they can support their own institutions. It was a very instructive meeting, the discussion of which was participated in by Prof. Wilkinson, Atty. Cobb, F. L. Cardozo and many others. Interspersed were classical selections rendered by the Griffin Orchestra. The interest in the Century Club is steadily increasing. Last Saturday night at the regular meeting several gentlemen qualified by paying their membership fee. United States Senator James E.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor, The Washington Tribune:—In your issue of February 16, there appeared a poem by a writer of our race group, and incidentally one of no mean ability, which poem with its musical arrangement was meant to be adopted by us as a sort of National hymn, altho I have not had the pleasure of hearing it I am told by those who have, that it falls short of expectations as to plaint as well as fire and inspiration in its musical arrangement, which of all things a national or racial hymn should produce. I believe that we as a race have sufficient anthropology present sacrifices, and future hopes on which a wonderful masterpiece of music could be based. I would suggest that thru the columns of your valuable paper, there be inaugurated a campaign looking toward a nation wide effort on the part of our poets and musicians, to compile words and music suitable for such a hymn. No finer national hymn as regards pathos and thanks for deliverance can be found than the "Pilgrims Chorus," and some such treatment of our stay here no doubt could be set to music by some of our very capable musicians and writers. Of course to make it universally approved it would have to be played and voted upon, in all of the large cities of America by our musically inclined, then left to final judgement, by the process of elimination, to a jury of our most eminent musicians. At any rate if such a thing is possible I am certain that The Washington Tribune, can successfully conduct the campaign to make it something which will redound to the alreadyestablished credit of our musicians and writers. A CONSTANT READER LAFAYETTE PLAYERS AT HOWARD THEATER. Next Monday will mark the return of the Lafayette Players, headed by Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond, in the great mystery play, "The Seventh Guest." "The Seventh Guest" is a clever combination of laughter, tears and thrills. It starts with the very rise of the first curtain and the story never lags for a moment. By the end of the first act you'll be breathless with wonder ano at a loss to explain who did the thing and what has become of the mysterious "Seventh Guest." The play is the same type as "The Bat," the sort of play that thousands have been enjoying on Broadway, and you will talk of this show for many weeks. Owing to the great demand for seats, it will be advisable for you to make your reservations early.

The open date, October 20th, will likely be filled by a school that has not been on Howard's schedule before or at least not for a long time. An effort was made to land games with Virginia Union University of Richmond, Va., and West Virginia Collegiate Institute of Charleston, W. Va. Union was offered any date in October, but the Virginians absolutely refused to accept any date except one in November. In the case of the West Virginians, they demanded November 10th and stoutly refused to accept any other date, although it was made plain to them that Petersburg had a contract already signed for that date that was made out two years ago. However, Director Watson hopes to play a post-season game with West Virginia if such can be arranged. There will be six games played in Washington, running consecutively from October 3rd to November 10th. There are only two games away from home; one in Hampton and the Thanksgiving game in Philadelphia. As Mr. Watson did not assume his ScuMlock Photo.

The 1923 football schedule for Howard University was announced this week by Athletic Director, Mr. Louis Watson. The schedule as announced calls for eight games; contracts for seven of these games have already been signed, thereby leaving only one open date on the schedule of the "Bisons." This date has been offered to St. Paul, Livingstone, Bennett and John C. Smith University (formerly Biddle University), but no game has been announced to date. tersectional games have been booked for next fall; Wilberforce University of Wilberforce, Ohio and Morehouse College of Atlanta, Georgia. Both of these games will be played in Washington and will completely off-set the Hampton and Lincoln games which will be played away from home this year. According to the plans of Watson, the Wilberforce and Morehouse games will be played in the American League Park, making them the "classies" of the season so far as local games are concerned. The schedule differs slightly from the schedules of former years. Two entirely new schools calling for in- A. and T.

FAST LINCLON FIVE SNOWS VANDALS UNDER Philadelphia, Feb. 12—Things took a gloomy hue for the Lincoln five in the beginning of the game between Lincoln and the Vandals. The Vandals, with "Long Legs" Lee full of (Continued on page 5) Washington To Have Big Time Baseball This Season At last Washington is to advance into a position in Negro baseball commensurate with its standing in other racial developments. Mr. Benjamin ("Ben") Taylor, brother and right hand man of the late C. I. Taylor former owner of the famous Indianapolis (Ind.) A. B. C's, has been induced by local business men to transfer his interest from Indianapolis to Washington. Mr. Taylor was in the city this week when practically all details necessary to bring him here as manager of a big time club were practically completed. According to the news given out, Ben Taylor, who after his brother's death a year ago this month, assumed control of the destinies of the A. B. C's and successfully piloted them through the season and landed in second place, being beaten out by Rube Foster's team, will come to Washington and build up a ball club here the equal of any in the country. Many of the stars on the A. B. C. Club last season and in the Western League are slated for berths on the new Washington club. The home grounds for the local club will be the American League Park on Georgia Ave. The club will use the park when the local American League team is on the road. The Washington team is to be an associate club in the newly formed Eastern League and it is the hope of Manager Taylor to have a team the equal, if no t the superior of any club in this league. The Eastern League is composed of the Baltimore Black Sox, Philedelphia Hillsdales, Atlantic City Bacharachs, New York Lincoln Giants, Brooklyn Royal Giants and the Cuban Giants of New York. Washington's location makes it a logical city for the development of baseball in the East. With its population of 112,000 colored people and 350,000 whites, the city offers one of the best fields for development in the country, especially as Sunday baseball is permissible here. Washington has never had a real first class colored ball club. The city has been extremely backward in this respect, while the western cities of lesser size have been going forward. However with the coming of Ben Taylor, who is one of the best known characters in Negro baseball and a manager and player of no mean ability, the hopes of the local fans are bound to jump sky-high. Manager Tayler left for Philadelphia Tuesday and is expected to return to the city soon, before leaving for the West on business. While in Philadelphia, he hopes to make up a tentative schedule for the coming season. A call for spring training about the first of April is expected as soon as Manager Taylor returns from the West. It is the hope of the management to use all local players who can make good. Those who desire to try out should get in touch with Mr. Taylor at once. Mail addressed care THE TRIBUNE office will reach him. It is hoped that many of the local stars now on other teams will try out for the local club. As he American League Club plays here the most of April, Manager Taylor will open the season on the road; the local season is expected to open some time between the 10th and 17th of May. A contest for a name for the local club will be started through the local papers very soon; the winner is to receive a season's ticket to all games. Local ball fans have much in store for them this season. Practically every big club in the East will be seen here during the coming season. A calibre of baseball equal to that played by any big league is promised. Among the players on Mr. Taylor's team last year were: infielders, Clark, Day, Taylor and Blackmon; outfielders, Washington, Halloway, and Charleston; pitchers, Mahoney, Jefferies and Ross; catchers Mackey, Eggleston. The team closed the season in second position in the league's standing and was the second heaviest hitting club in the league being beaten by Kansas City.

Some dozen hundred fans on the side lines were yelling for the boys to make their first point.Hamer succeeded in caging a basket for his scoreless team, and by the end of the first half the Vandals were leading by 22 to 18. Between the halves Coach Law's cubs pulled themselves together. Trigg (K.M.) went in at the left guard, Woods was shifted to center, and Pollitt went in for Woods. This combination proved to be hard on the Vandals. Tompkins and Trigg in guard, fenced the Vandals in with such superb defense that in the final half, they were unable to sack more than four baskets. Bill Howard, one of the best forwards in the cast, was literally sewed up. The beauty of the thing was that a sterling defense was followed by a thrilling offense. The Lion team was shooting from all over the floor. Woods with nine field goals, Pollitt with six and Hamer with five were finding the cage like martens find their nest. The House was uproarious, and of course Lincoln was glad to see the game end 47-31 quite in their favor. This is the last game before the Quaker State five invade the South The Lions, began with Hampton on February 22nd. On the Western trip, Wilberforce and the powerful Loendi will be encountered.

ORIOLE GIRLS FALL BEFORE LOCAL "Y" Marvelous passing, uncanny dribbling and unnering shooting tells in a few words what the large crowd witnessed at the Casino last Thursday night when the local Y. W. C. A. quint defeated the Maryland Oriole Girls, 22 to 21. The locals presented an all-star combination with Misses Winston, Gant, Duffey, Stewart, Minor and Joyce. Miss Winston's floor 'work fully justified the title that has been given her by New York and Pittsburgh sport writers as the "leading Race woman basketball player." But her brilliancy barely overshadowed that of her team mates, Misses Gant and Stewart, or the two visiting luminaries, Misses White and Spriggs, Miss Thompson also played well. SPORT CHATTER The Y. W.C. A. quint which recently gave the Maryland Orioles their first defeat in four years will play the Howard varsity five at the Phyllis Wheatley "Y," 9th and Rhode Island Avenue, on Friday evening, March 2 at 8 o'clock. The Delta-Lightning Five battle will be staged today (Saturdya) at 2:15 at the Casino in the first of a series of three games. The second game will be played on the afternoon of March 10th. Morgan College will meet Armstrong at the latter's gym on the afternoon of February 26th. MOREHOUSE DEFEATS HAMPT'N Hampton, Va.--For the third time in as many years the fast Morehouse College quintet administered an overwhelming defeat to the Hampton Institute cagers. Never before was the defeat so overwhelming or so thoroughly administered as it was on February 17. The Southerners took the lead from the beginning. Never were they in danger of losing it. They played a clean, fast, and hard-fought game. In some places it could be termed "flashy." Bailey, Gayles, and Sykes were brilliant players. Bailey collected eighteen points, ten of which were from the free-throw line; Gayles made ten, and Sykes, eight. Hampton's team is largely made up of inexperienced men. Hampton, after all, put up a splendid fight. This was her first big game at home this season, Long passing, long shooting, and the need for someone to short fouls, added greatly to her downfall. "Chet" Jones was Hampton's bright player. This youngster caged four from the floor before he was removed from the game. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1923 LOENDI, BASKETBALL CHAMPS TO PLAY AT MURRAY CASINO Why Say More? The greatest treat in the history of local basketball will be offered to lovers of this sport at Murray Casino on the night of March 1st, when the Loendi Club of Pittsburgh, National champions, will play the Alco quint, city champions. The Loendi five is the last word in basketball. There is no phase of this popular court game that this team can not do sensationally. In the lineup will be some of the greatest college athlets that ever represented an institution. The most brilliant member of this super-team is Young, famuos as one of the brothers that made basketball history at Lincoln a few years ago. Young is rated as the greatest guard in the country. Another star is Gayle, probably the greatest all-round athlete that ever represented Hampton. He is claimed by many as the basketball equal of the late Gilmore, the former Howard star. Sessions, the lofty center, towering over six feet, and he is as agile as a panther will electrify the fans with his brilliancy. Betts, guard, ranks in the first flight of national stars, while the most picturesque individual on the quint is Cum Posey, manager and forward. For a long time ranking as one of the greatest forwards in the country, Posey apparently is going on forever. Posey, today is in a class by himself as the most prominent Race basketball individual in the country. No local lover of sports should fail to see this combination perform. Opposing the above brialliant array of individuals the Alcoes will present Barrell Keener the best floor forward in the city; Buck Carroll, a high scorer of the League; Dick Graves, the clever guard who recently made a trip west with the Baltimore Athenians; Arnold, a center of merit; Mose Morris, the "spark plug" of local guards, and Neale who ranks with the city's best. The management is leaving nothing undone to make this game the winter "classic." Although being forced to guarantee the champs a huge sum for making the jump from Atlantic City here, popular admission prices will prevail and special preparation is being made to handle the crowd. Dr. Arthur Curtis and Mr. Thomas Johnson will officiate. MORGAN COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAM AT ARMSTRONG On Monday February 26,at 3 o'clock the Armstrong High School basketball team will entertain the fast team from Morgan College of Baltimore. Recently, in the Monumental City, the Collegians were bested by Armstrong by a lone point, the score being 29 to 28. With this in view the game on Monday promises to be a nip and tuck affair from beginning to end. Armstrong has the unique record of winning every game it has played in this city this season, and is anxious to close theseason with an untarnished record. Extra preparations are being made to handle the large crowd which has indicated its intention to be present when the ball goes up at 3 o'clock. DISTRICT BASKET BALL LEAGUE Standing of Clubs W L Pct.

February 21, '23 Sports Editor, Washington Tribune, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: In looking over the sports notes in your issue dated February 8, I note that under the heading "Howard Men Meet" that you have thoroughly mis-interpreted the reason and gist of our meeting, in that you say we "finally decided to send a petition to the Faculty asking that we be given board gratis, the month of December." This is entirely the wrong conception, for the men met to discuss a plan to relieve them of the embarrassment that they met after the season and agreed that they would ask that the administration give them preference of the work in and around the University for their board until December 31. We of the football squad would not think of asking for our board gratis as each and every man knows that to ask and receive this consideration would endanger the status of every man. There is not a man on the Howard squad that is not self supporting, and, the rates for board are nearly prohibitive to any one that would play football and the University is doing no more than the other universities by helping self-supporting men that would give their time to football, for which we are grateful. Mr. Sports Editor, this is what our meeting was about, what we the football squad think, and without malice towards anyone we are not trying to form the policy of the University. We think, because that is primarily what we came to the University to learn how to do, and think, because God gave us the grey matter for that purpose; and think, because we are the ones vitally concerned. These are our thoughts and those of the majority of the student-body. This letter is not for the purpose of pressure on the Administration or for public sentiment toward that end, but it is in denial of statements that we want free board and discussing the coach's policy. I sheerely hope that this letter is not misinterpreted as all written missives seem to be as it is written in the most humble thoughts of and for the welfare of the school and ourselves. Very truly yours, CHARLES J. DONEGHY Captain, Football Team 1923 THEATRE NOTES NEW YORK'S NIGHT LIFE SHOWN IN FILM Wicked old New York, its unsavory dives, its white lights, its cafes and cabarets, is shown as a voracious dragon slaying all adventures in the Warner Brothers screen version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Beautiful and Damned," featuring Marie Prevost, which will be shown at the Broadway Theatre, during the week of February 25th. Especially the New York between Forty-second and Seventy-second Streets on one side, and Fifth Avenue and Broadway on the other, where all the theatres and cabarets are centered, and where is found the most motely collection of humanity ever thrown and nudded into one spot. Gloria Gilbert, the beautiful flapper and Anthony Patch, the idle young man waiting for his grandfather to die and leave his millions, are shown swept into the vortex of these cruel streets thronged with sharpers, criminals, adventurers and demi-mondaines, where harlot and virgin jostle each other, where clerk and millionaire rub elbows, where beggars gave enviously at the gorgeous splendor of diamonded overdressed ladies. The picture, an adaptation from F. Scot tFitzgerald's novel of the same name, is the story of Gloria and Anthony and their adventures in the maelstrom of madness that is New York at night. They live riotously but the day of reckoning comes when they are discovered by their grandfather during a wild party at their home, and disinherited. As high as they have flown in pleasure, as deeply are they plunged into poverty and wretchedness, and their mutual salvation brings on the strong climax of the picture. For her supporting cast in this production, directed by William Seiter, Miss Prevost as Kenenth Harlan, Tully Marshall, Harry Meyers, Parker McConnell, Clarence Burton, Walter Long, George Kuwa, Charles McHugh, Louise Fazenda, Kathleen Key and Cleo Ridgeley. Extensive interest in the Gilbert-Sullivan Japanese Comic Opera master-piece, "The Mikado," which is to be given by The Howard University Choral Society at the Lincoln Theater, Thursday evening, March 1st, is evidenced by the large number of patrons who have already made reservations. The students of The Howard University are being trained under the supervision of professional directors which assure the presentation of the opera in a purely professional manner. The scenery and costumes to be used have been secured from New York City. There is required for the production an ensemble of seventy-five principals nad a chorus with an accompaniment of a Symphony Orchels LINCOLN T U Street a Wed. & Thurs., March "THE OPEN A Pageant w SYMBOLIC OF THE HISTORY TO BENEFIT ATLANTA Tickets on sale on and after Ma Girls Basket Ball Howard University VS.

Robert Hichens, who has gained international fame as a writer of stories of the Orient, is the author of the book on which this production is based. Frank Lloyd directed it. A striking example of the psychology of clothes in motion pictures, is seen in the sort of costumes Helene Chadwick wears in "The Sin Flood," a Goldwyn picture coming to the Lincoln theatre, for two days, commencing Friday, March 2. Hitherto, Miss Chadwick has appeared in smart French frocks, or exquisitely designed gowns. As "Poppy," in this Frank Lloyd production Miss Chadwick wears an amazing, but true to type, array of cheap silks, flashy jewelry, and conspicuous hose.

Stanley Durkee of How: ard University in his remarks at, thi regular Sunday Vesper exercises of th Howard University Sunday, February 11, paid tribute to Lincoln and Douglas: in’ words both appropriate and eloquent Howard University celebrates each yeat the memory of Lincoln and Douglass. In addition to President Durkee's ad. tress, Mr. Neval H. Thomas, of Dun nar High School, spoke in the univer: sity chapel Monday evening, February 12, on the subject, “Frederick Douglass. ‘A thought or two from Mr. Durkee’ address, under the subject, “The Thoughts of Men Are Widening,” fol tow: “Two great men grew ont of thos trying times which preceded and. fol lowed the American Civil War. The one, as a child, was owned by ignorance the other was owned by greed. “We have the picture of the on hrowing himself down by an open grate penciling out words from an old al manac and thus learning to read. His education was ever limited. He nevei ecame great as a scholar, as a lawyer as a statesman, or as a world redeemer but he became so supreme as a grea lover of justice and truth that the fur. ther we recede from the time of his living, the more monumental and heroi does his life grow. Abraham Lincolt will be rated among one of the world’s greatest sons and his place is secure for- ever in the heart of America. “The other boy, owned by greed, w find standing down by the docks at Bal: timore, He watches the stevedores putt ‘Eng a peculiar mark on a piece of tim her, and finds that piece of timber is laid on a certain side of the schoonei which was loading there. A differen mark would he made on another piec that would be put_on the opposite sid of the schooner. In his mind he won dered why those marks should deter imine the pkice to which the differen sticks of timber would go. We knov now that the one mark was “IL,” standing for “left,” and the other mark was “R’ standing’ for “right,” so one stick of timber went to the leit. side andthe ‘other to the right. Here is where Fred erick Douglass began his education. H decame, not a great scholar, nor lawyer ‘nor statesman, nor world redeemer, ‘bu ie became so supreme as a great lover of justice and truth and so incorporatec ‘those in every will and work of his Til ‘that the further we recede from the tim of his living, the greater becomes Fresl erick Douglass, a Ieader of his peopl ind a challenger to right and justics whereversman lives.” |Motor Corps of the U.N.I.A. jee HOLD SPECIAL EXERCISES | at the Pythian Temple 12th and U Sts. i SUNDAY FEG. 25th at 3:30 P.M.

Two Bible verses: "Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." THE SALUTATION OF THE DAWN Submitted by Irone C. Watson, Age 10 Listen to the exhortation of the Dawn: "Look to this day, for it is life, the very truth of life, "In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence, "The bliss of truth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty, "For yesterday is but a dream "And tomorrow is only a vision— "But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, "And every tomorrow a vision of hope. "Look well therefore to this day." Such is the salutation of the Dawn THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1923 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. "EYES AND SEE NOT" By Theodore H. Homer John, who had been a student in high school for two years, was greatly offended because Thomas who had been in the school only five months advanced so, rapidly that his name appeared on the honor roll. After some hesitation John went to the principal, and asked why his two years of high school work had not been rewarded. "I am glad to see you and to talk the matter over," said the principal. "By the way, before we begin, can you tell me whether there are any of Dunbar's sayings in the building?" "I will see; sir," said John. He returned five minutes later saying, "Yes, sir, in the assembly." "How many?" asked the principal. "I'll see, sir," answered John as he left the office. Returning in a few minutes, he said, "There are two." "What kind of sayings are they?" asked the principal. "I'll see, sir," said John, startinf for the door. His next answer was, "They are both verses of poetry." "Won't you please ask Thomas to step in here for a moment?" asked the principal. As Thomas entered, the principal said "Thomas are there any of Dunbar's sayings in the building?" "Yes, sir," was the reply, "There are two verses of poetry in the assembly." And he quoted them. As Thomas left the room the principal said, "John, you have learned your subjects fairly well, but you have never lifted your head above your desk." —From Dunbar Ledger. TAKE COURAGE By Cornelia Jackson, Age 16 When clouds hang heavy overhead, and all your endeavors seem to be in vain; when all you've either said or done, Has been unnoticed again and again; take courage, beginner, and try once more. When books you've written are never read, and all your time seems wasted; write others to put in their stead. Take courage, author, and be uplifted. When speeches you've made take little effect; and people look bored at your very sight. When the cause you're pleading for is none but right—Take courage, good rator, and speak again. When lessons seem harder each day, and you're worried about your mark, study harder and don't delay, and your path will never be dark. Take courage, young student, and study right on. Through life let us all take courage even if our tasks seem ever so hard, let us now take every advantage, and never give up. A JINGLE By Howard Ward, Age? I had a little dog, they called him Buff, I sent him to store to buy some snuff, He lost the bag and spilt the stuff, So I whipped him soundly 'till he got enough.

EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation (Continued from last week) The following are notes which are references to the last two subjects which has already appeared in this article.—Ed. Note 5—The statement regarding the "Freedman," quoted by Tuckerman, which says, "Here is the simple figure of a semi-nude Negro, sitting, it may be on the steps of the Capitol," probably formed the basis of a curious mistake which has had wide currency. The mistake locates "this" statuette "on the steps of the Capitol at Washington." This error occurs in Clement and Hutton's "Artists of the Nineteenth Century" and in many other places. Of course no copy of the statuette is on the steps of the Capitol now anywhere in or about the buildings. No copy of it is on public view in Washington, and almost certainly none ever was. It would, however, be a fine thing if what appears to be the last remaining copy which is for sale (by the Gorham Company, New York City), could be secured to be placed on public view at the National Capital—the beautiful Carnegie Library building at Howard University suggests itself as a suitable place. The "Freedman" was on exhibition among the sculptures at the recent Panama-Pacific Exposition. Moreover, it drew favorable notice from Mr. Laurvik in his review of American sculpture in the Catalogue of the Exposition already referred to. With fine appreciation, he says of it: "Few productions of contemporary art have been received as so fully expressing the fervor of a great national movement as the Freedman, though it was never executed larger than a statuette." Note 6—For the information that Edmonia Lewis attended Oberlin College, I am indebted to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y. The information is confirmed by the College catalogues, 1859 to 1863, and by a letter from Doctor King, president of the College. Note 8—The Detroit monument was one of the very earliest of the War Monuments to be dedicated; earlier even than the Lincoln Memorial at Springfield. In view of the fact that Black Folk were relatively few in Michigan, it is notable that the projectors of this fine memorial should have suggested the placing of one of the race in such an honored place, or even have permitted it, possibly at the artists suggestion. However, the colored people of Michigan, though few, were of exceptionally high character and attainments. Moreover, Sojourner Truth, at that time certainly, the most distinguished woman of Negro blood in America, was then residing in Michigan. Francis H. Warren, Esq., refers to her (in a letter) as: "Michigan's first distinguished woman, whose antislavery work no doubt mothered the thought to place the figure of a Negro woman on our soldiers Monument in Detroit." Note 9—It may be of interest to note that Frederick Douglass was not pleased with the attitude and expression of the "kneeling slave" in Ball's group. Mr. Douglass delivered the principal address at the unveiling of the group in Washington in 1876. His address and the remarks of others made on the occasion are printed in a pamphlet. Referring to the address as published in the pamphlet, Mr. John W. Cromwell writes to me as follows: "I have before me the oration of Mr. Douglass on the occasion of the unveiling of the monument in Lincoln Park, Washington, April 14, 1876. "I find, however, no criticism of the group in the published address; evidently it was an extempore utterance brought out by the occasion and the environment. He did, however, make the criticism and I was about fifteen feet—not more—from him during the entireaddress. He was very clear and emphatic in saying that he did not like the attitude; it showed the Negro on his knees, when a more mainly attitude would have been more indicative of freedom." Note10—Mr. Ball informs us in his NOTES book that the Association paid $17,000 for the enlargement and the casting of the bronze group, which he indi cates was a low figure. He says Congress appropriated the money for the pedestal. Note 11—Following what is quoted on Pages 29 and 30, [these pages refer to Mr. Murray's book.—Ed.] the description of the group is continued, in the booklet mentioned, as follows: "The original was also changed by introducing, instead of an ideal slave, the figure of a living man, the last slave ever taken up in Missouri under the fugitive slave law, and who was rescued from his captors (who had transcended their legal authority) under orders of the provost-marshall of St. Louis. His name was Archer Alexander, and his condition of servitude legally continued until emancipation was proclaimed and became the law of the land. A photographic picture was sent to Mr. Ball, who has given both the face and manly bearing of the negro. The ideal group is thus converted into the literal truth of history without losing anything of its artistic conception or effect." This description appears to have been copied almost verbatim from the pamphlet which contains the addresses at the unveiling of the group in Washington. The description is a part of the remarks of Mr. James E. Yeatman who represented the Western Sanitary Commission, which was the organization that initiated the movement to organize the Freedmen for the purpose of erecting the memorial. I have already pointed out (page 31) that the description appears to be more a statement of intentions and desires, than of actual accomplishments so far as relates to the alterations enumerated heretofore. It will be noted that one of the alterations enumerated in the part here quoted is the introduction of the figure of a living man in the place of "an ideal slave." The expression, "an ideal slave," while perhaps not technically incorrect, is apt to disconcert the ordinary reader. "The ideal [imaginary] figure of a slave," would perhaps be less objectionable in form and probably clearer also. But, be that is it may, it is worth noting that the figure of the slave in the original group was modeled by the sculptor after his own body viewed in a mirror—as he informs us in his book—no other "model" being at the time available. It is very probable that the alterations that were based on the photograph included no changes other than in facial features. Hence what we see in this group is probably no more the literal truth of history than is usual in such cases: perhaps less than is usual. These matters, of course, have no bearing on the merits of the group as a work of art, nor have they any considerable interpretative importance. They may be, however, of some historic interest. Another matter of some historic interest and perhaps also of some interpretive importance, is mentioned by Mr. Ball in his book. He informs us that Wendell Phillips was displeased with his Boston statues. He says (p.298): "He [Phillips] sent me away with his exceedingly vulgar tirade against me and the Boston statues ringing in my ears." Whether on not this occurred after the Emancipation group was in place, is no certain; but seemingly it did. The account which Mr. Ball gives of the occurrence is inexplicit and vague—even more vague than is his wont. Note 12—I have put a query after the word "marble," for the reason that, although the description in the booklet, quoted on pages 29 and 30, says that the original was in marble, Mr. Ball's book indicates that it was cast in bronze. He says: "The first copy of this little group was ordered in bronze before it was finished in the clay, by Mr. —— of Boston." Of course, a marble copy may have been made, also. This matter is of no importance here, except as bearing on the question of the general reliability of the statements in the description quoted.

LESLIE FRAZIER --- William A. Johnson says what he has to say in a trite manner. It is brief—but true. Johnson is a student at Howard Medical School. RETRIBUTION For wrong is wrong and right is right, Be the doer black or white. Whoe'er commits an act of shame, Despite his caste, the crime's the same. Be jutsice done despite the clan, Or creed, of color of the man. All beings sprung from out the sod; All destinies lead back to God. WILLIAM A. JOHNSON. Comes forth George W. McCorkle with his song—a song of praise and adoration: THE QUARTET (Lincoln, Douglass, Washington and Dunbar) Each with a mission to perform Never thought to shirk, But bravely fought to reach the stage To carry out his work. The multitudes were hard and stern; The critics stood in line, But these performers had a torch Lit by the Hand divine. The Nation's chief executive Was first to take the stand; Though homely was his looks, he had Salvation in his hand, With this same hand he made a stroke That set a people free, Four million and a half rejoiced, Because of Liberty. The second, too, with voice afame, Had stirred the hearts of men, To see the country's wickedness While plunging into sin, His matchless eloquence made way To lands across the sea, There he was spokesman for a race, That clamored to be free. Though free himself, he felt the sting Of cruelty and pain; He fought and stood the battle's heat Till slavery was slain. He said, "My race, go forth, achieve; Strong prejudice subdue; When ignorance has from thee fled There'll come a clearer view." The third, the Moses of his day, Came with a message great; "Industrialism" was his text; He sought to conquer hate; His sword was sharp diplomacy. And common sense his shield; Though strong the conflict, he held fast, And cried, "I will not yield." His race at first sought to condemn The message which he brought; That only gave him impetus; For more convincing thought; His gospel conquered stubbornness And reached to every clime; The message heard, the world then saw, His was a life sublime. The fourth and last performer comes On stage to close the scene; A star with many parts to play, He's placid and serene. He has a song upon his tongue. And comfort in his heart; Inspired, he takes the liberty His message to impart. He gives his predecessors praise; For tose who died as slaves; He has an epitaph in hand To place upon their graves. He speaks a language simple, but His logic is profound; Yea, millions gather near the sage His echoes to resound. His part performed, he steps aside; He sees a brighter ray; His vision fully realized; Then dawns a brighter day. The curtain drops, and loud applause Is wafted on the air; Upon each memory is carved: "A Genius Great and Rare." GEO. W. McCORKLE Two new writers to us, Sylvester R. Woodfork and Archie R. Smith present two interesting verses: "Life" by Woodfork; "Little Deeds" by Smith. Life is just a one way street We're always going West, So day by day in every way Just do your level best. Some of us have a longing That's deep down in the heart To turn back on this beaten path And get another start. LIFE Start again—right where you are And do the best you can, For there's no going back to where Your journey first began. And should you see a person Who stands in need of aid, Don't simply say, "I'm sorry," But help him make the grade. It's nothing to your credit No matter what you own To travel on thru' this old world And think of self alone Do think sometimes of others, Hand out a little cheer, So when you reach your journey's end Your conscience will be clear. Now as I end these verses These words let me repeat, The main point to remember, is. That life's a one way street. SLYVESTER R. WOODFORK. LITTLE DEEDS It's the little things that count That make our lives worth while, It's the little hills we mount That gives courage for a smile. Each day some act of kindness done, Let it be great or small. Brings joyous souls at the setting sun As the twilight shadows fall. And after all, life's greatest work Is, deeds of kindness wrought. A duty we shall never shirk When in our reach 'tis brought. And all the little deeds we do Some day will count as one. They may be many or be few, God's verdict, "Tis well done." ARCHIE R. SMITH. "Lifting as we Climb" was composed by Miss Margaret R. Thomas and recited at Calvary Baptist Church, Ithica, N. Y., July 13th 1920 at the convention of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs. This versification is composed of nine stanzas, 3, 4, 5 and 6 being reprinted here. Lifting As We Climb Men, need your wrath be kindled For the injustice shown? Your women, silent tho', and meek, The heavy end has borne; Still fewer of her noble deeds Bedeck the sands of time, Yet she it is who've set the pace For lifting as we climb. Her's is a sad and bitter lot Conceived by God alone. He knows the burdens which she bears And he has pity shown. He sees her striving upward T'ward a purer, brighter clime. She's rising up beneath her load, And lifting as she climbs. From slavery's dark prison By faith and earnest prayer, She lifted up the sons of Ham To freedom's purer air. From ignorance's dread pitfalls Of sin, and vice, and crime, She comes a mightly conqueror Still lifting as she climbs. From the lowest depths, she struggled By faith's light from above, To life's exalted station Of sacrifice and love. From heaven God views her progress; Smiles on her work sublime For not alone she scales the heights, She's lifting as she climbs. MARGARET R. THOMAS.

Mr. Hoover's Department of Commerce sent out a report recently to the effect that sugar would be scarce next year and the profiteers proceeded to raise the price of the stocks already on hand and for which there is no reason under the sun to advance the price, except that the sugar barons see a good opportunity to make the consumer come across with a little extra cash. Your government is permitting you to be robbed on sugar, coal, oil and gasoline, wool and practically everything that you use. Rockefeller made a large donation to a library in New York city last week and three days after the announcement was made, all of the Standard Oil Companies of the country raised the price of gasoline. Rockefeller made the donation, but the oil and gas consumer will pay the bill, with the 2 cents raise on gasoline.

WHITE MAN GONE WRONG Another white man connected wrong. William T. Dulmage, the department in the Union Laborer Streets, N.

Dulmage, the white man who installed a bond department in the Union Laborers Bank, corner of T and 14th Streets, N.W., was arraigned in Criminal Court, Number 1, Tuesday, for the violation of section 851 (b) of the Code and placed under a thousand dollar bond. Last fall the Union Laborers Bank, a colored institution, entered into contract with William T. Dulmage, a white man, to establish a bond department in the bank. He was given office space in the bank and advertisements were run telling of the new department. Some time ago, Mr. Dulmage's actions were not consistent with banking principles and his office became noted for his absence. His son is in charge of the office now. Negro enterprises must learn their lesson and one lesson they will do well to learn is that when white men hang around Negroes to sell stock and offer them a "good proposition," that it generally turns out: "Ought is an ought and figger is a figger, most all to the white man and very little for the Negro." The Union Laborers Bank should have realized that a colored man could have sold all the bonds that they would be able to handle. A Negro bank clamoring for the patronage of colored people should be very careful as to the placing of white men in responsible positions in that bank. How can they consistently do otherwise? The unbusinesslike and shady deals of the white man connected with the colored bank, reflects far more upon the bank than could be offset by the service that that man might render the institution. We have colored men capable of handling the bond department of the Laborers Bank and they should be sought out for the position. Would a white bank place an unproven colored man in charge of its bond department? Declares South's Method only Solution (Continued from page 1) been thoroughly assimilated and is now ready to go before the world wearing the glasses of race hatred and white supremacy In playing his new role the Commoner evidently has his eyes centered on the Democratic presidential nomination in 1924 and figured that the opportunity of speaking before the Southern Society would be a good one to win the Southerners to his banner by championing their pet cause and hobby. In other words he hopes to ride the Democratic nomination on the broken necks and scarred backs of Negroes. Like omt Northerners who migrate South, Bryan believes that by simply "hollering" Negro and White Supremacy, the Ku Klux Klan and the white South generally will just flock into his camp and naturally bring him along with them, the nomination. It is essential for Bryan to try now to win the support of a skeptical South because Oscar W. Underwood of Birmingham, Ala., now U S. Senator, is being groomed by some Southerners as the Demoas Underwood is Southern born and bred, and thoroughly rabid to boot, bred, and thoroughly rabit to boot, naturally Bryan must prove to the South that he is ever a better or worse, Southerner than Underwood himself. Bryan finds himself drowning in a political sea; and like most drowning men he is grabbing for the proverbial straw, and that straw is the Negro issue. Unless he can win his party's nomination next year, his chances for ever being a figure again is forever gone, as his advanced age will forever eliminate him. His purpose in moving South was considered by many, at that time, as being a political move. This contention was, practically proven in 1920 when Bryan made an attempt to run for the U. S.

BECKET PASSES AWAY The passing of Mrs. Julia C. Becket a few days ago removes another landmark from the families of native Washingtonians. In direct decent from both sides, the inheritance of Mrs. Becket was distinguished, for her father, the late William B. Ingraham, a courtly, genial and thrifty gentleman of the old school, impressed himself in many ways on his day and generation and held the unbroken confidence and esteem of citizens, black and white; high and low in all sections of the city. In the Coast and Geodetic Survey, where he faithfully served for more than forty years, he was looked upon with signal affection and respect. Her mother, Eveline Edmonson Ingraham, also long since departed, was one of the children, sons and daughters fo Amelia and Paul Edmonson, whom Harriet Becher Stowe visited at their humble home across the District Line, a few years before the Civil War, and afterward in her Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, especially noted the high moral tone and closknit family life of the "Edmonson Children." The married life of Joseph C. and Mrs. Becket covered a period of forty-eight years and prved a most happy relationship, both in a material and aesthetic sense. Their home on Connecticut Ave, just above the original John Wesley Church, which numbered both her parents among its founders, was for many years the abode of distinguished Negro statesmen, churchmen and educators, who through their labors have made valuable contributions to Negro culture and racial progress OBITUARY YOUNG Camille Young, born May 8, 1899, confessed religion and joined the Israel C.M.E. Church, Jan. 1911. In September 1920, she accepted a position in Huntington High School, Newport News, Va., having graduated from Howard University, June 1920, cum laude. She became seriously ill May 9, 1922. Having regained strength, she returned to Newport News, September 1922. A sudden relapse caused her to return to Washington, January 5, 1923. She died February 16, 1923 at 3 a.m. During her life and illness Camille expressed her firm belief in the Supreme Being, praying constantly and faithfully that His will be done. She leaves to mourn their loss, a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Young; four sisters, Aurelia, Evelyn, Portia, Ollie; four brothers, Lorenzo, Henry, Lawrence, and John; a devoted fiancee, Professor Thedore Randolph; a host of relatives and friends. In God's home of fadeless beauty Camille is now a shining star Dwelling in that Holy City With the golden gates ajar. Oh! how sudden was the summons— (When the word came she was ready) Time was too short to say farewell To the one we loved so well The days of her life all were num- The days of her life all were numbered, The messenger whispered soft and low.
