NOT A NEGRO, SAYS PROMINENT SOUTHERN PREACHER FILES $130,000 Will Announce Contest Winner Next Week Little Hope Seen For Alley Dwellers NECRO BUSINESS RAPIDLY EXPANDING ALONG U STREET First in Local Circulation. NOT A N FILES $130,000 DAMAGE SUIT IN D. C. COURT Wife was Candidate for Congress when Statement Was Made "When thieves fall out just folks get their dues," is an old axiom that has been handed down to this day. The thieves are falling out now, but whether just folks are going to get their dues remains to be seen. From Mississippi, where Negroes are not permitted to vote, let alone hold office, comes a very unique suit. Unique in the fact that it involves a question of race that some jury will have to pass on. Cases of this kind have been very rare and especially in the way this one is brought. Last summer in the state primaries in Mississippi, in the Fifth Congressional District, Representative Ross A. Collins of Meridian, Mis., was opposed by a white woman, a Mrs. Arnold, wife of a Baptist Minister of Union, Miss. During the course of the campaign, Collins, in order to kill the candidacy of Mrs. Arnold, published in twelve Mississippi newspapers a statement to the effect that Mrs. Arnold's husband was a Negro. The statement completely upset the whole Fifth District as well as the state. The mere mention of the word Negro in Southern politics is always bound to produce action. And the fact that the husband of a candidate for Congress was a Negro—Ye Gods, what could Misissippi be coming to? Anyway, the statement whether true or not, completely knocked the socks, so to speak, off the candidacy of Mrs. Arnold. However, the fight did end there. The Rev. James E. Arnold decided to prove to the world that he was not a Negro, and consequently in January of this year, he filed in the District of Columbia's Supreme Court, a damage suit for $130,000. Ross A. Collins, the successful candidate, F. J. McKinley, of the U.S. Indian Field Service, and Thomas J. Scott, McKinley's clerk, are named as the defendants. NECRO BUSINESS EXPANDING The Northwest section seems to be the favored section of the Nation's capital, and U Street is the main thoroughfare for the large Negro population of this section. The progress along U Street exemplifies the progress of this section. During the month of March several changes have been made and new shops have been opened. Just off U Stret on Tenth is the store of N. L. Collins. This week the partition was set back about ten feet to accommodate the increased stock demanded by a constantly increasing patronage which Mr. Collins has enjoyed since opening the place last fall. Mr. Collins is in the third year Dental Class at Howard University and Mrs. Collins devotes her time to the store. Mr. Collins fills in between the class hours. Pelham and Steward have opened an electrical shop in the Pendleton building at 1216 U Stret. This store room was formerly occupied by the Journal of Negro History, which moved into its own building in the 1500 block on 9th Street, N. W. Mme. Blanche has moved her millinery establishment from her home, 1115 U Street to the second floor of the Imperial Commercial Building, 1214 U Street. Dr. A. M. Curtis has remodeled the building on the corner of 13th Street. He and his son, Dr. Merrill Curtis, the dentist, occupy that floor. In the corner basement room vacated by Dr. Curtis, Pinchback and Langston have opened a law and real estate office. Mr. Walter A. Pinchback is in charge. In the other basement room formerly occupied by Dr. Curtis, the Cecile The Washington Tribune Will Announce Contest Winner Next Week Due to the inability of Mr. B. H. Taylor to reach the city in times to confer with the other judges, Messrs. S. H. Dudley and W. O. Walker, the announcement of the winning title or name of Washington's new professional team could not be made this week. Mr. Taylor is touring from Indianapolis and will not arrive in Washington until Friday, March 23. The announcement of the winning title will appear in next week's issue. The article that caused the furor which was published over Collins' signature was as follows: ATTENTION WHITE VOTERS OF THE FIFTH DISTRICT Dept. of the Interior, U. S. Indian Field Service, Philadelphia, Miss. Aug. 4, 1922. Hon. Ross A. Collins, Meridan, Miss. Dear Sir: In answer to your recent inquiries regarding J. E. Arnold of Union, Miss., beg to submit the following facts in regard to the man and his record: Our official records on file in the Department of the Interior at Washington show that J. E. Arnold is a son of Artha Arnold, a Virginia Negress, originally owned by Alexander Scott and afterwards owned by Washington Arnold and then sold by him to James Arnold. Both of the Arnolds lived in Coweta Co., Ga. J. E. Arnold had no Indian blood whatsoever in his veins. If he possessed even sixty-fourths (sic) he would have been enrolled on request. I have in my possession the complete roll of all Indians in Miss., and those who were removed to Oklahoma, and Arnold's name does not appear on any of them. The fact is, it has never appeared on any of the rolls ever made anywhere. The records of our office show that J. E. Arnold is one of the most cunning and unscrupulous exploiters of ignorant Indians that ever operated in Oklahoma, and Mississippi. I know of my own personal knowledge that he instituted over 100 suits against Indian estates and that in every instance his claim was based on the fact that he had induced his victims to abandon their home in Mississippi only to be dumped like cattle in vacant lots and empty barns in Oklahoma. Many of (Continued on page 8) Dressmaking Shop opened on the 15th with Mrs. C. Lewis and her sister Miss H. Gwyn as proprietors. At 1232 U Street a pool hall is preparing to open in the basement. Davis and Lipscomb have opened a real estate office at 1115 U Street, in the room formerly occupied by Mme Blanche, the milliner. Several new places have opened and will open soon in the 1000 block. The first to open was an up-to-date fruit and confectionery shop by R. E. Mangum at 1005. Mr. Mangum has an attractive place and is attracting the trade in his line. R. J. Richardson has opened a furniture store at 1003, in the building recently remodeled by the Thrift Commercial Association. The National Mutual Association building on the corner of 11th and U is progressing and rounding into shape for tenants. Plate glass was placed in all of the store rooms this week. Dr. Wm. Davis will occupy the corner room with his drug store; George W. Taylor,the jeweler, will move from the south side of the street into one of the rooms in this building. The Standard Life Insurance Company will move its office from the Industrial Bank Building into one room and an electrical shop will open in the fourth room, fronting on U Street. Construction on the Masonic Temple at the corner of 10th and U Streets seems to have halted after the placing of the steel for the basement and first floor. The Prudential Bank building in the 800 bloc kof Florida Ave. is progressing and there is talk of its being ready to occupy in April. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 HON. C.M.

Death Comes as Shock to Order—Visited Here One Month Ago Denver, Colo. (Special)—Hon. C. M. White, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen, died at his home here Wdenesday night after a short illness. The death of Mr. White came as a complete surprise to the thousands of Woodmen and his many friends. He had only returned from an extensivetour of the various Woodmen Camps, and was supposed to be in good condition. Mr. White was born in Michigan and attended school there, graduating later from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He went to Texas soon after his graduation and settled around Austin where he began a career as a teacher. In 1909 he went to Denver, Colo., and became affiliated with the present order of American Woodmen. The idea of a fraternal beneficiary society that should emphasize the insurance features, yet combining the fraternal features, was something quite new to our group at M. B. that time. In conducting the affairs of the American Woodmen, the one great purpose has been to establish and increase confidence among our group in Negro businesses. To this end Mr. White gave his whole life. He was married and had two children, a girl and a boy; the boy is a student now at Lincoln University. The District of Columbia camp of the American Woodmen was plunged into grief when the news of Mr. White's death reached the city. Mr. White visited the local camp just about a month ago. He was well known to a large number of people here. HEALTH EXAMINATIONS OF CHILDREN EXTENDED It is announced by the U S. Children's Bureau that the examinations of children referred to in last week's Tribune will continue until June 1st. The schedule of the various centers and days remains as announced last week. Declares Right to Supervise Expenditures is Vested in Board The rejecting sometime ago, by the Commissioners, of the requisition from the School Board, for an appropriation of $225 to purchase supplies for the new course in shampooing and manicuring recently established at the O Street Vocational School resulted in the denial of the power of the District Commissioners to determine the necessity or wisdom of proposed school expenditures by the Board of Education at its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, when it adopted an opinion setting forth its answer to the Corporation Counsel that the school board is a creature of the Commisisoners and subject to them. The opinion was drafted by Wm. L. Houston and James T. Lloyd, members of the Board of Education. It declares that while Mr. Stevens, the Corporation Counsel, sets forth the duties of the Commisioners, he fails to explain the obligations of the Board of Education. The opinion adopted by the board states: "The corporation counsel, aside from the merits of this case, argues that since the members of the Board of Education receive no salary, and because they are not required to give a bond, that they should have nothing to do with the expenditures. Certainly the corporation counsel would not seriously contend that because the Board of Education performs the onerous duties imposed upon it, as a public duty without remuneration, that it should be penalized for so doing. Why should a bond be required by the Board of Education. Under no construction of the law can the Board handle any money, nor does it make any expenditures. The responsibility for making the payments and accounting for the same is vested in the commissioners. "It is contended that the Board of Education is not responsive to the people of the District, because it is appointed by the Supreme Court. The Board of Education answers that by the same reasoning the commissioners TO THE TRIBUNE SUBSCRIBERS Physicians and Dentists to Cooperate in Preaching Health Doctrines Health Week will be observed by the Washington public during the week of April 1st to 7th, inclusive.

WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION OPENS LEGISLATIVE HEADQUARTERS HERE HERN PR Alley Dw W. Va. Institute Suffers Great Loss From Fire Heroic Work of Students Confines Fire to Trade Building Institute, W. Va., March 19—Discovered too late for any concerted effort to be made at fire-fighting, a blaze of unknown origin destroyed the building and contents of the trades school of The West Virginia Collegiate Institute, with an estimated loss of $230,000, early yesterday morning. No one was in the building at the time the fire was discovered at 3:35 Sunday morning. The flames were discovered by the night watchman, who sounded the alarm. Students turned out to fight the fire, and a call was sent in for the local fire department, which on account of low water pressure and bad roads, was unable to reach the scene, according to John W. Davis, president of the college. With the falling of the roof, attempts to combat the flames were halted, as it was feared that the walls would fall. A water tank near the building and the president's house were saved from the blaze by the prompt use of fire extinguishers. One of the students climbed the supports of the tank to the base, which had caught from the intense heat, and strapping himself there, applied the fire extinguisher that put out the flames. The main power plant, which served the school with water and light, and which adjoined the burning building was saved, and it was said last night that work there would be resumed early this morning. The building destroyed was used to house the equipment of some 300 students studying various trades. An even dozen branches of instruction are thrown out by the fire. The building contained $80,000 in equipment and supplies for use in teaching dressmaking and sewing, masonry, printing, carpentry, auto mechanics, plumbing, stationary engineering, the department of biology, chemical and physical laboratories, cooking and domestic science and blacksmithing. Adjustments have been made so that the school work may be continued. The building which was 228 feet long and 114 feet deep, was of brick and stone construction and finished inside with wood. According to President Davis, the fire first started at 3:35 and the building was destroyed in the course of an hour. It was known as the A. B. White building, in that the appropriation for it was made during his term as governor of West Virginia. It was valued at $150,000. WOMEN'S ORGANIZ LEGISLATIVE HEA The national legislative headquarters of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, has been officially opened in Washington. The headquarters are located on the second floor of the Whitelaw Hotel on 13th Street, N.W., and are in charge of Mrs. M. Mossell Griffin, national legislative chairman. The opening up of the headquarters here by the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, is the first move of this kind attempted by any national organization. The headquarters here will keep in touch with Congress and fight for legislation favorable to the race and fight against that which is not. The headquarters here will not only concern itself about na- 5 The Best Sport Page in the East. PREACHER wellers WAY TO EVADE LAW IS NOT YET FOUND Commissioners Face$50 Fine For Each Day They Fail To Enforce Law Despite the bad weather last Friday, about 250 citizens gathered at the District Building to discuss plans for caring for the thousands of people who must vacate their homes June 1. The Commissioners stated that there was nothing they could do but enforce the law unless some one brought suit in the form of an injunction to stay the enforcement. The Commissioners realize that if the law is enforced that it will cause much suffering, and they are anxious to do something to help the people, but admit that at present they are helpless. The law assesses a fire of $50 a day against the Commissioners for every day they fail to enforce the law. John Ihlder, housing expert of the United States Chamber of Commerce and a group of prominent Washington citizens are making a thorough investigation of the alley situation with a view of evolving some method of erecting a large number of houses to care for the people. Ihlder would not go into detail about his work but said he is expected to have some announcement to make soon. Practically ninety per cent of the people who will be affected by the ousting law are colored. At present the housing problem among them is most acute, and if the alley people are forced out, there will be absolutely no place for them to go. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, president of the Alley Improvement Association, is taking a leading part in trying to work some plan to care for the people. According to James S. Lakin, president of the State Board of Control, the building was fully insured, but that it would be some time before reconstruction will be started. He spent yesterday at the Institute investigating the fire, and said that students in charge of teachers were cleaning, up the debris, and that school would continue. Two of the walls of the building fell following the fire which gutted it, and this was being cleared away. The president's house, which was a short distance from the burning build- was scored by the heat, and would have caught fire had it not been for the prompt work of the students with fire extinguishers. The heat from the flames was so great that the water tank, 100 feet high, was scorched, and even burned around the top, according to Mr. Lakin.

COOKING DEMONSTRATION One of the most practical cooking demonstrations ever staged in the nation's capital, was the one held last week at the Y. W. C.

Mrs. Allen and Miss Boyd, the demonstrators, are the only two colored representatives in the Educational Department of this company and what they cannot do with all kinds of receipts, remains to be seen. Cakes, rolls, bread, pies and every kind of dainties imaginable, were cooked right before the eyes of the visitors; and the best part of it, these dainties were served to the guests after they were cooked. Mr. Benjamin W. P. Allen's talks each night were highly interesting. All who attended were greatly benefited by the talks and by the unique cooking demonstrations.

Taylor, Manager of Washington's New Professional Club Much has been said and more written on why and for what reason did I, Ben Taylor, after piloting the A.B. C.'s within twelve point of the Championship in the National Negro League, after getting together the greatest bunch of baseball players to represent Indianapolis since 1916, leave that club and the league. Why am I leaving? That is the question the fans of Indianapolis are asking and not only are they asking that question in Indianapolis, but the same question is being asked and re-asked all over the country. Something had to be said. The present so-called owner of the A's sent for the secretary of the National Sport Writers Association, A. D. Williams; they agreed that the public was demanding a hearing; we must say something, it doesn't matter if it is not true, just anything to make the people think that I was a bad egg. Through the present "owner" of the A's, A. D. Williams was hired to release to the Indianapolis Ledger and other papers throughout the country the preposterous story of March 15, last week. They cared nothing for facts, although the secretary of the National Sport Writers Association is familiar with most of them. Facts Grossly Misrepresented First, I am called the deposed manager of the A. B. C's. The facts are, I refused to consider the job for this season because I would not in any way consent to be a manager in name only. I told the present "owner" of the A's in the middle of last season that I was through when the season was over and for her to look for a new manager for 1923. In September I was called into conference and asked if I had changed my mind and if I could not pilot the club again this year, which I refused. At this time the Secretary of the N. S. W. A. and myself were very good friends. I told him all about the matter. I was told that some time later he was called in by the "officials" of the A. B. C's, and given a substantial check which of course changed the situation. My Promise to A. Rube Foster and Why It was Made The secretary of the N. S. W. A., further says that I utterly disregarded my promises to the president of the league; that I was fined $200 and Jeffries was fined $50 for sharing in the trouble at St. Louis last season. In order for the public to fully understand the situation I will tell just what happened at that game. My club had been in St. Louis earlier in the season and had won four straights. On our first visit, Charleston shoved the umpire and he was promptly put out of the game; he at first refused to go and I walked over and told him to go on out. Foster fined him ten dollars for this act and when we arrived in Chicago the fine was given back to him but this together with the fact that they could not win a game from us left a sore spot in the hearts of the St Louis fans. On our second trip there it was said that we would not get away with any rough stuff this time. The umpire in chief, that is the one who was going to work behind the plate, came to me before the game started on our second Sunday. We were on the bench prior to the starting of the game. At that time I was injured and out of the game, but was in uniform. The umpire asked for the manager and I said, "Here he is." He then said to me, "We are not going to have any arguing here today; the first man that says anything to me will be put out of the game." I then asked him what did he think he was, the Kaiser? Mind you, he did not work the games when we were there before. The other umpire, who worked the series before and was standing near, then spoke up and said "You won't have any trouble out of Taylor." That feller (the umpire-in-chief) gave us about the rottenest exhibition of umpiring I have ever seen. St. Louis won the first game. I was not even allowed to make a protest. The second day, which was Monday, I decided I must get in the game. Jeffries was pitching and the score was six to one in our favor. Jeff was unbeatable. It was about the sixth inning; my club was at bat, Mackey was on first base with two out. St. Louis was working a left hander. Mackey took a good lead at first; the pitcher being young, thought he would catch the baserunner napping. Instead of going back to first when the pitcher started his throw to that base, Mackey dashed for second which completely upset the youngster. He did not complete the throw to first, but instead, turned and threw to second. The base THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 umpire hesitated a second before calling the base runner out. I immediately protested that it was a balk and the man was entitled to second base. The base umpire sent me to the umpire-in-chief. He told me it was not a balk, and without giving me any consideration at all, gave me one minute to begin play. I was standing at home plate; my men were on the bench, and that was the third out. I told the men to go to their positions and I started to mine. Jeffries was standing in the pitcher's box ready to warm up. Charleston was on his way to center field and most of the other men were in their positions. I picked up my glove and turned at first just in time to see Jeffries up close to the umpire and was told that he had hit him. I then found out that the umpire had forfeited the game without giving us time to get on the field and that after he did that Jeffries hit him. For doing nothing at all, I was supposed to have been fined $200, or at least the A. B. C. Baseball Club was fined that amount; and because I was the manager it was taken out of my money. Has clean record for 15 years I have been in baseball for fifteen years and in that time have played all over the country. No one will say that I have been a rowdy either on or off the field. In all that time I have been put out of but one ball game by the umpire and that happened at St. Louis two years ago. League decides to refund fines At the league meeting last December the board voted to give me my money back after they decided that the umpire was incompetent and was not instilled in forfeiting the game The morning I went to get my money I was asked by the president if I was going East. I told him if I could get something in the West I would not go. He then said, "I was to give you this money if you would stay in the league." I agreed and was told by him to see if I could get some one with capital to put a club in Cincinnati. At the same time he wrote Jeffries that he would send him his $50 dollars if he would sign with the A. B. C.'s at the same salary as last year. Jeffries had asked for a raise and was told that the $50 dollars that was being returned to him would count as his raise. In other words, he was giving the "owner" of the A's $50 to let him pitch for them this year. Foster wanted Me to Remain at Indianapolis I could not get anyone interested in Cincinnati and in the meantime Foster wrote and asked me if I still watted to leave Indianapolis; that he would rather I would stay and that he thought he could arrange it all right. I told him there was nothing doing and asked him if he had anything else for me, that I did not want to go to any other club in the league merely as a player, that whatever club I was on this year I wanted to be part owner. He answered that whatever was done in my case would have to be taken up with the present "owner" of the A.B. C's and if I would stay here he was sure she would have to give it up soon and then I could step in and take control. It was then the latter part of January. Up until that time I had made no plans, but was waiting to see if he was going to do anything. I then went to Washington, got a lease on the American League grounds and will put a big league club there this year. Wrote Letter to Dr. Howard Smith. After leaving Washington coming home, I stopped off in Pittsburgh and while there released something to the Pittsburgh Courier and at the same time wrote a letter to Dr. Howard Smith in Kansas City, whom I have known for several years. In my letter to him were the names of the same men I gave the Pittsburgh paper and which were run the issue of March 3rd. He (Dr. Smith) sent the letter here to the "owner" of the A. B. C's and not to Foster, as the secretary of the N. S. A. says. League to Another The secretary shows his ignorance of baseball ways when he says that I intended transferring the franchise as well as the players to Washington. He evidently does not know that this franchise in the Western League would not be any good in the Eastern League. If I should get a franchise in that league I would have to get one from-them and not a franchise that is in the Western League. Brother gave me 25 per cent interest in team As to who the franchise and players belong, I will say this, that on his deathbed, my brother, the late C. I. Taylor, told his widow and myself that he wanted me to have twenty-five per cent of the club and that he wanted me to run it the same as he had always run it and to always call the club "C. I. Taylor's A. B. C's". As he had sent evyry one out of the room except the two of us, I had no way to prove that he said this. 25 per cent dwindles to Nothing I was told later by the new "owner" that I was to get twenty per cent and still later that I could not get anything. Foster knew of these conditions last spring as I kept him posted on it. Does any one wonder why I don't stay? After being robbed of my share of the club last spring, I told her (Mrs. Taylor) all right let it go at that; and worked just as hard to make the A. B. C's succeed; yet I am the "deposed" manager. The Mr. Secretary also had inside information on that. "What wonders a little cheek will perform." Post season games played by A's. Every fall as the fans know, we have a series of games with the Indians. We had our annual fall meet. The "owner" of the A's got her twenty per cent of the net; that is, of the money that we got for our share after expenses were taken out, twenty per cent was given to her and the rest was divided among the ball-players. We finished our series here and the boys were going to disband. Some of them went home. I told all those who wanted to stay that I would book a game at Muncie under the name of Ben Taylor's All-Stars; that I would take five per cent for booking and that I would borrow some uniforms and give the rest of the money to them. We played several Sundays there but after the second Sunday the "owner" of the A's got a lawyer and tried to stop the game. She even went so far as to go to Muncie and hired two lawyers who tried to hold the money up at the gate, but the law said she had no case. It seems that the man there in advertising the games said it was Taylor's A. B. C's, instead of Ben Taylor's All-Stars. When I spoke to him about it, he said well your name is Taylor, as long as I don't say C. I. Taylor's A. B. C's, it is all right. My record versus N. S. W. A. Secretary I have been in this city (Indianapolis) since 1914. I did my share toward building up baseball here. My record in baseball speaks for itself. I have done more for baseball than a whole flock of little "Secretaries." The loyal fans will not forget that I am a man without a black mark during my entire career in the national pastime, and now at this late date some irresponsible persons bray, that for the good of the game, get rid of one of the pillars. What has the secretary ever done for the good of the game? Did he help build from the bottom up as I did? No! When he came in, we had fought and worked until within the last few years, baseball began to take on the aspect of a profession. Then it was that the National Sport Writers' secretary stepped in to enjoy the fruits of other men's labor and hardships, and if we are not careful, such men with the power of the press behind them will do the game more harm than all the rowdy ball players. Something needs to be done to curb the irresponsible pen. Will own one-half of Washington's Club I am not going to Washington merely as manager. I am manager and half owner of the Western League until my usefulness as manager or anything else is over and still get no higher. My best chance was here (Indianapolis) and I was robbed of that. Collegiate Athletic Notes Wilberforce Boys Win and Girls Loose Last night March 12th, saw the curtain fall on basketball for the boys at Wilberforce. The team may take a trip during the spring vacation but the game with the Columbus Collegeians was the last one scheduled for Beacom Gym. The game last night was just another walk away for the "Force" boys 41-11. The Collegians were never in the running after the first five moments. G. Lewis and Willett together made 29 points. Capt. McGee made the feature shot of the evening, after running the length of the floor he looped one over head on the dead run. Huff and Lewis made some very spectacular shots. The team work of the "Force" boys was very good and it was seldom that the visitors got their hands on the ball. Pattengall, Jefferson and Mann played well for Columbus. Coach Pettyjohn in all used 10 men during the game, he sent in a new team at the first of the second half but replaced it with the first string lineup with ten minutes to play. The game ended Wilberforce 41, Columbus 11. Miss H. C. Payne took the girls' basketball team to Kentucky for two games after losing to Kentucky Normal 17-14, the next game was with Simmons Univ. of Louisville, Ky. This game though won by Wilberforce was close all the way thru, the first half ending Wilberforce 9, Simmons 5. In the closing half Simmons made a desperate effort to tie the score by some spectacular shots from mid floor. The "force" scored every time Simmons did and managed to keep the lead. The superior team work of Wilberforce showed in this half and as a result came off with a well earned victory 14 to 11. This makes two victories over Simmons, the first game was won at Wilberforec Feb. 3 by the score 10 to 7. The girl's team has won 6 out of 7 games played and expects to play another game with the Kentucky Normal girls in the near future. A challenge was sent to them soon after the last game. Should it be accepted the game will be staged in Cincinnati. About 16 battery candidates answered the first call of baseball coach Pettyjohn on Sunday. Some very promising material was on hand. Regular practice will be the order from now on inside. The squad will take to the outside by the first of April. Morehouse 6—Morris Brown 3 Atlanta, Ga., March 17, 1923—Before a very large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators, the Morehouse Tigers defeated Morris Brown in a well-played baseball game. Both teams showed mid-season form and gave an exhibition of real baseball. Clark doing mound duty with Max-well on the receiving end proved too much for the Purple and Black Machine. The final score was 6—3 for the Tigers. Each team received 8 hits but hits by Morris Brown were well scattered. Nine of the Purple and Black batters struck three hard blows at the offerings of Clark in vain, while five of the Morehouse Tigers were led back to the bench via strike out route. Idlett of Morehouse and Fields of Morris Brown fielded brilliantly. Much interest was attached to this game as neither team had been defeated this season.

Commonwealth Show Class Few local basketball lovers took advantage of the opportunity of seeing the Commonwealth five of New York in action against the Alco quint at the Casino on March 15th. While perhaps not as impressive as Loendi's victory the New Yorkers decisively defeated the local Champs 56 to 40 and in so doing presented the greatest scoring machine ever seen here. The first half was rather bitterly contested but class told in the end and the visitors went on to an easy victory Every member of the Commonwealth put up a stellar performance while Carroll Neale and Kenner were conspicuous in defeat.

Graves Judging from the vast preparation now being made, the "Carnival of Jewels" scheduled to be staged at the Convention Hall, Easter Monday night promises to be the greatest event ever attempted in Washington. Much publicity has been given to the affair through the curiosity of the people who have been wondering just what a Carnival of Jewels might be. The management of the affair has declined to give out the exact details, but states that hundreds of dollars have been spent to make it the greatest ever staged for their thousands of patrons.

Some say it is easy to win at home, but the "Y" girls showed that it is easy for them to win anywhere. Now that they have triumphed over every team in these parts they will bring the champions of New York down to play for the championship of the East. The game will be staged at the Lincoln Colonnade, Thursday, April 12th with the famed Blue Belts of New York City.

And so the foregoing forms the foundation of the play. Shane Keogh, at his death, impresses his daughter with his great responsibility and counsels her against admitting scheming strangers to the banquet of his inheritance. TO GIVE PASSION PLAY, "ON SLOPES OF CALVARY" The Federated Colored Catholics of Washington and Vicinity, the organization which so successfully staged the Carnival held in Convention Hall the week of January 8-13, 1923, has been able to secure the services of the company presenting the passion play, "On the Slopes of Calvary," at the President Theatre (white) this week. They have agreed to present the play in the Lincoln Theatre on Tuesday night, March 27th, in its entirety, using the same cast, scenery, etc., that has so delighted thousands of Washington theatre-goers during the past week. The proceeds of the performances are to be donated by the Federated Colored Catholics to the building fund of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a national school for colored youth, open to Catholic and non-Catholic, to be located in southern Maryland.

Sole Distributors Music Forum By Wellington A. Adams OUR TRIP TO NASHVILLE, TENN. We left the city Wednesday morning, March 6th for Nashville, Tenn., in response to a call meeting of the Sunday School Board Music committee of the National Baptist Convention, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Secretary, to compile a Hymn book for Baptist churches. Mrs. J. Taylor Nickens also left on the same train for Nashville. Reached Chattanoga that evening about 11 o'clock. Found some of our old acquaintances who made our short stay pleasant until train hour, 3 o'clock, continuing journey reaching Nashville early Thursday morning, 6:30 o'clock and Mrs. Nickens and the writer were met by Dr. Townsend who greeted us cordially and escorted to his palatial residence under the shadow of the State Capitol. His residence is beautifully designed, modern and gorgeously appointed. Enjoyed a splendid breakfast then on to the call meeting. Introductions done we convened in regular session at 10 a.m. and for four days we labored faithfully on the hymnal. Fifteen members composed the committee. Among those present were: Dr. Townsend, the secretary, who outlined the task confronting the committee. He is a man of scholarly attainments and a leader among men, strong traits of character and stalwart in heart he readily wins friends and holds them. He is accomplishing wonderful results as official head of the Baptist Publishing department and has laid plans to erect a $300-000 plant ere long. Mrs. W. A. Townsend, wife and hostess, is the Musical Directress of the committee and one of the finest women of the Race, possessing every element of greatness, cultured and the most congenial entertainer we ever knew. Rev. J. D. Bushnell of New York City was elected chairman. Dr. Bushnell is a scholar, logician, sweet singer and preacher of marked ability. Mrs. Emma J. Hynes of Nashville, Tenn., is a woman of beautiful voice and attractive personality. Mrs. J. Taylor Nickens of Washington, D. C., served faithfully as accompanist. Mrs. M. Geneva Williams of Jackson, Tenn., is a charming vocalist and full of enthusiasm. Mrs. Katie Pharroh of Nashville, Tenn., is an earnest worker, possessing a pleasing personality. Rev F. Rivers Barnwell of Fort Worth, Texas is a splendid man and has a very sweet melodious voice. Prof. T. P. Bryant of Chicago, Ill., is a thorough musician who rendered excellent service. The Committee visited Fiske University, Roger Williams University and the State A. & I. Normal College where they were received with every honor. Addresses and music was the order of the day at each institution visited. Dr. Bushell spoke for the group at Fiske. We visited many places of interest but none interested the group more than the Baptist publishing plant where efficient work is being done. Rev. Ellington's church was visited on the first night and what a grand time we had with the committee's singing, Dr. Bushell's sermon, Dr. Townsend's and Dr. Ellington's adresses, also Mrs. Townsend's remarks. Mrs. Nickens rendered a fine organ solo with chimes. Mr. E. T. Brown, manager of the publishing plant entertained the group in fine style. We visited the B. Y. P. U. plant also. Met Prof Paul F. Mowbray, formerly of Washington, now head of the Department of Sociology at Fiske University, who sends greetings thru us to Washington friends. Had the pleasure of seeing and meeting in person one of the most beautiful young colored women of the race in the person of Miss Ethel Gray, head stenographer at the Baptist publishing house. During our stay we were pleasantly domiciled at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. A. Bennett, A. B., superintendent of the Book department and pastor of Roger Heights Baptist church. They certainly made our stay a most happy one indeed. Visited the $75,000 Y. M. C. A. building, five stories high containing a colored Bank and several commercial enterprises. Enroute back home over the B. & O. R. R., we stopped over in Cincinnati, Ohio for a half day visiting a friend which we enjoyed immensely. Arrived in Washington Wednesday morning, March 14th after one of the most delightful and eventful trips in our career. P. S.—Forgot to state that we heard Judge Harrison of Chicago in a remarkable literary and musical program at the Bijou Theatre Sunday afternoon March 11th. His address was a masterpiece and the music by Fiske, Roger Williams, Meharry Medical School and State A. & I. College was well worth hearing. Miss Nivens of Roger Williams sang "Go Down Moses" (Burleigh) with telling effect. THE WASHINGTON TRIAL. SATURDAY.

SCHOOL BOARD ANSWERS COMMISSIONERS SCHOOL BOARD ANSWERS COMMISSIONERS (Continued from page 1) are not responsive to the people, because they are named by the President. The Board of Education is using its best endeavor to direct the schools in the interest of the people, and are generous enough to assert their confident belief that the commissioners are trying to serve the same people in the administration of municipal affairs." Muzzey's History The Board declined to take any action on the question of Muzzey's American History, which had been complained against by the Piney Branch Citizens Association. It voted to refer the matter to a special committee composed of Mr. Houston, Mr. Callahan and Mrs. Hodgston, who are to confer with the Piney Branch Association and others that may be interested. A letter of protest at the procedure of conducting the examinations for promotion to group B, Class 6, from Mr. McDuffie was read upon the request of Dr. J. Hayden Johnson. The Board voted to appoint a special committee to investigate the irregularities alleged in the letter. The president appointed Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook and Mr. Graham on the committee. The Board agreed to hear all persons interested in the Teachers' Salary Bill, in a conference on Thursday night, March 29, at 8:30, at the Franklin Building. It also agreed to hear all citizens or associations interested in the budget to be presented this year, on Wednesday night, April 11, at 8:00, at the Franklin Building. Ralph Bond, of Armstrong Manual Training School, was promoted to second lieutenant of cadets. The following appointments were announced: J. M. King, caretaker, E. V. Brown Plans for the new Chain Bridge school are now ready and those well informed in such matters claim that the school, when finished, will lack none of the facilities found in a modernly designed up-to-date structure. The building will be of the extensible type and so arranged as to make provision for any future enlargement that may be necessary. The school will face 49th Street, N.W., with appropriate ground for recreation, holding in tentative reservation all the available land to the north that may be purchased in case the educational development of the community outgrows its present dimensions. * * * * * The school administration is to be congratulated in the selection of the site for the proposed new Junior High School. It is causing somewhat of a furor in public school circles, the indication being that the public is in complete accord. The location is at 24th and M Streets, NW., overlooking the famous Rock Creek Drive. The citizens of Georgetown were anxious for the honor and suggested the Phillips school, but the authorities after combing the city thoroughly for a suitable spot, felt that the site chosen, offered the best advantages. $50,000 have been appropriated for that purpose. The annual competitive drill of the High School Cadet Regiment takes place May 24th and 25th. Parents and friends of the Shaw Junior High School were treated to quite a unique demonstration a few evenings ago, when classes in the respective branches, went through their daily programs. The school closed its regular session that day at 12:30 c'clock and was opened again from 7:30 to 10 that evening. The aim was to give the parents an opportunity to see the plant in full operation. It is estimated that 250 parents attended. Principal Kirkland and her assistants are to be highly commended for the orderly way in which the affair was handled. Public school teachers, connected with the intermediate department of the Tenth Division, assembled at the Sumner School Wednesday of last week and were splendidly entertained by a talk by Mr. Phillip Williams using "Arithmetic" for his subject.

There bobbed into the spot light a few weeks back, one willyam byrant, who is catering to the vote of the South through orations of race hatred. He evidently has come to the conclusion that the Negro (white man's inferior?) was instrumental in keeping him out of the White House on his severalteen attempts to get there. Evidently, too, his bug-a-boo "16 to 1" is reasserting itself. He could easily persuade the "rowdy" South that although they are the superiors to Negroes—it is in keeping with democracy, justice; altruism for 'sixteen' white men (with instruments of torture) to constitute a quorum to lynch "one" Negro. That was hung there last night? It is not true that the one-legged men of Washington are forming a "foot" ball team to play against the one-legged men of Alexandria. Nor do we contemplate having a "one-step" contest at Murray Casino on March 33rd. A man may be down but never out. But— If you go to his house and he is "down" in the cellar "mixing it" he sends word to the door that he is "out" Wont that be a grand and glorious Negro advertisement which will read without using the phrase "the greatest in the world"? There is a guy in our town And he is wondrous wise, He goes into his cellar— And there his wisdom lies. It's a poor rule that doesn't work in "all" ways. Because the American government has no authority to stop lynching, one thousand and eleven WHITE men were lynched in the United States from 1885 to 1921. Not that we're personally or racially interested—but what we want to know is:why send money to Africa when it could be used in America?

The benefit to be derived from them depends upon the attention given to them and the proper conclusions reached; backed with action in keeping with our conclusions. The recent meeting of the business men held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was an eventful circumstance if properly considered and will produce wonderful results. At the beginning of the preparation for this meeting, about thirty men gathered to consider the possibility of the venture. When it came to the actual showdown and the putting across of the program there were about twelve men who showed real interest in the effort to better their own progress in the commercial world. That is characteristic of the Negro. He is emotional; always ready for a new thing. As a result, we are the most "organized" people in all the world, when the multiplicity of organizations is considered. But when we come to organizations for our substantial progress and welfare, we are the least organized people in all the world. If it is an organization for dying, we are there strong. If it is an organization for vital living and strenuous progress we are conspicuous by our absence. Because of our lack of the proper organizations for business and economic progress we suffer. We do not have any state or national organizations that really function, from which we can derive the least benefit in a commercial or economic way. The National Negro Business League is one in name only. Maj. Moton, the president, is not a business man, never has been in business, and has demonstrated that he knows precious little about even the fundamentals of it. Therefore, the only business that his organization fosters is that of re-electing Moton each year. Here in Washington we have 112,324 Negroes. Af fifty cents per day the Negroes of Washington are spending $56,162 per day. How much of that sum is going thru Negro business houses? What organization have we here to help to pass that $56,162 thru Negro establishments? If that money was organized into trading with Negro business houses it could be distributed into 112 places and give an average of $500 a day to each place. Isn't that sufficient prospect to inspire an organization to corral some of that $56,162? When will the Negroes of Washington realize their possibilities and act upon that realization? Money is power in these United States. Money really talks and is heard around the world. When we quit whining and complaining about not getting our rights and form an organization and corral our spending power, we can DEMAND our rights, and that is about the only way we are going to get them. Beggars are not given much consideration in this country any more. A meeting will be held Monday night in room 300 of the Southern Aid Building to organize a commercial organization in Washington. We shall see what we shall see. NOT A NEGRO, SAYS SOUTHERN PREACHER (Continued from page 1) these Indians perished from exposure and starvation. I know also that Arnold has induced ignorant and unsuspecting Indians to adopt him as their heir, especially those that owned or inherited oil land. The fact is, his conduct has been so reprehensible that he has been twice disbarred before the Department at Washington. I know of my own personal knowledge that Arnold was regarded in Oklahoma not only, as a crook, but he and the rest of his family were also regarded as Negroes. On account of his wretched conduct he had to leave the state of Oklahoma, so he removed to Washington City, Miss., where he operated for several years before coming to Union, Miss. He came to Union about four or five years ago and is now pursuing there, the same raw and infamous practices only on a smaller scale. I am, Very truly, F. J. McKINLEY.

Af fifty cents ington are spending $56,162 per going thru Negro business houses? to help to pass that $56,162 thru money was organized into trad- it could be distributed into 112 a day to each place. Isn't that a organization to corral some of Negroes of Washington realize that realization? United States. Money really talks When we quit whining and com- rights and form an organization we can DEMAND our rights, and are going to get them. Beggars in in this country any more. Day night in room 300 of the size a commercial organization in it we shall see. The Rev. Arnold in his suit, denies all allegations and says he is of Indian blood and not a person of Negro blood in whole or part. He further says that the charge of his being a Negro would, especially in the neighborhood in which he lives in the State of Mississippi, cause a great many people to refuse to associate with him and his wife, who is a person of white blood. Such a charge would destroy his usefulness of his profession and occupation. His reputation has been brought into disgrace and disrepute. He further says, good and worthy citizens have suspected and believe and still do suspect him to be a person of Negro blood and have by reason thereof since, wholly refused to have any transaction, acquaintance or business relations with him. After the District Marshal had served the papers on Representative Collins, he filed papers in court denying that the local courts had jurisdiction in the case, because he was not a citizen of the District and the alleged act did not occur here and that the other parties to the suit are not residents of the District. However, after filing these papers on February 9th, Collins went back to court on March 15th and without waiving his special appearance and motion to vacate the Marshal's service in answer to each count says: He is not guilty of wrongs and injuries alleged by Arnold's declaration; that things published were true in substance and in fact according to their natural and ordinary signification, but were without the meaning and intent implied to them; that he believed and had good cause to believe that the matters were true; that he was up for re-election, and nomination practically meant election; that a large number of qualified voters were of pure white blood and some of Indian and white descent, but none were of Negro descent and it was well known that few, if any of said electors who were qualified to vote in said primary election would, with knowledge of the facts, vote for any candidate of Negro descent or for any person who had knowingly and consciously con- --- tracted or continued to maintain the marital relation with a person of Negro descent or of recognized bad character. She (Mrs. Arnold) represented her husband as being of Indian descent and he had a right to publish the statement as he had just and reasonable grounds to believe same was true. The above is Southern politics in its true light. Negroes are wholly barred. Collins was elected. In his district there are 209,691 people. He polled 11,336 votes and his opponent polled 437 making a total of 11,773. However, in Northern politics, a Representative Ayres, democrat in the 8th Kansas district, where there are 207,878 people, polled 37,581 votes and his opponent 22,721 making a total of 60,302 votes cast. The difference in the votes cast in Kansas and Mississippi is the discrimination practiced in Mississippi against Negroes. In Mississippi, Negroes are counted but not allowed to vote; in Kansas they are counted and allowed to vote. It is in this muck and mire of dirty Southern politics that Collins and Arnold are now wallowing. As Collins says Arnold is a Negro and Arnold denies it, it evidently will go before a jury for a decision. What will the verdict be? Can you tell whether or not a man is a Negro by his blood? Are there any pure blooded people in this conglomerate mass of people in America, the white man's claim to the contrary notwithstanding? These are some of the questions that the jury will have to answer. The developments should at least be interesting to the Negroes of America. WILL MARION COOK AND CLEF CLUB TO PLAY HFRE The most brilliant and colossal event of the Easter season, coming after the lull of social activities during the n Lenten period, will be none other than the presentation of Will Marion Cook and his celebrated International Orchestra of Soloists, players and singers, in Negro spirituals, folk songs, ensembles, modern Negro classics and the quintessence of jazz, under the direction of the Dunbar Community Center, and the pedbar Community Center, and the perham, Easter Monday night, at Dunbar High School. The foremost singers and instrumentalists of the Negro race who have had triumphant success in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna under the immediate direction of the master musician, composer and director—Will Marion Cook, ably supported by William C. Elkins, nationally famous choral director. The participants, will include Mr. Paul Robeson, the famous all-American end of 1919, with Rutgers College, who was the hero of the London Stage in 1922 appearing opposite Mrs. Patrick Campbell in "Vodoo." The English press was unanimous in its opinion on Mr. Robeson's voice, a rich mellow bass, exceptional in its sheer beauty and rare ability. His power of expression is felt by all who have the pleasure of hearing him. Other participants will be Mercer Cook, the first lieutenant colonel of colored high school cadets of the District of Columbia and Dunbar class president in 1920; and Hartwell Cook, former sensational quartarback of Dunbar varsity 1920 football team; anchor man on Dunbar relay team at University of Penn track meet in 1920.
