BOGUS DOCTOR PROVES TO BE CROOK AND SWINDLER Dr. Oliver Leon Desayles Preyed on Preachers and Local Business Men Dr. Oliver Leon Desayles Preyed on Preachers and Local Business Men First in Local Circulation. BOGUS Dr. Oliver Leon Preyed on Pr Local With the arrest of a Dr. Oliver Leon Desayles, alias Dr. George Welton Gross, by detestives Jones and Jackson, the local authorities believe they have apprehended a national crook and swindler. Dr. Desayles was arrested in Richmond, Va., on the advice of the local detective bureau; and Detective Paul Jones brought him back to Washington. He was at first arrested on suspicion but after the local authorities had began an investigation, they found that the alleged doctor had passed two worthless checks on prominent business men here. Dr. Desayles first put in his appearance here about a week after the race riot at Rosewood, Fla. He spoke before the Baptist Ministers Conference and told how he escaped. The doctor, however, has both legs off above the knee and walks with artificial limbs and crutches. He played on the sympathies of the ministers and quite a sum was donated to him. He later spoke at Dr. Norman's church, and was again given a sum of money. He remained in Washington some time, all the time representing himself as a victim of the riots. Dessayles went to the Imperial Commercial Company, on U Street and purchased several dollars worth of haberdashery and gave a check for $76 and received the balance in change. This check was returned with the notation "no account." Another check of Desayles for $20 was O.K'd by Mr. John W. Lewis. This check also was no good. When the detectives went to the place where Desayles had been rooming, they found over twenty-five letters addressed to him, coming from Norris Wright Cuney Dead Was Native of Texas; Graduated from Howard University Mr. Norris Wright Cuney of 503 Florida Ave., N.W., died at his late residence this week after a short illness. Funeral services were from his home Tuesday, March 27th. Mr. Cuney held the degree of LL.B., from Howard University, and was employed in the Government Printing Office. At the time of his death he was taking a course in Chiropractic at a local school and was president of the Senior Class. He was active in the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Cuney was a native of Texas. He is survived by a widow, two sons, a father and two sisters. WAGE EARNERS TO MEET The District Union, National Association of Wage Earners, will hold its monthly meeting on Friday, April 6, at 8 o'clock at Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Building, 9th and Rhode Island Avenue. Members are urged to be present as important legislation affecting the future welfare of the organization will be enacted.

PUBLIC UTILITIES SECURED Through the efforts of local committees on race relations a park and swimming pool have been secured for Negroes in Atlanta, a detention home for colored girls in Savannah, an H $85,000 recreation ground in Memphis, play ground and promise of swimming pool in Louisville, and better travel-ing conditions on trains in Oklahoma. The Washington Tribune DOCTOR Desayles reachers and al Business Men TOR and Men every section of the country. Most of the letters were from women. These letters proved conclusively that Desayles was not from Florida as he claimed, since it would have been impossible for him to correspond with so many people as widely scattered as these in the short space of time. One of the checks was on a bank in Stubenville, Ohio, and was signed by Dr. George Welton Gross. The local authorities sent a picture of Desayles to Ohio and the bank officials recognized it as the man who represented himself there as Dr. George Welton Gross. Dr. Desayles is being held in jail here, his case having been continued in the District Police Court, pending further investigation by the authorities. Detective Jones said Desayles kept a memoranda of a number of women with ages ranging from 16 years up. He had them listed with notations after each name. Some of them were listed as good prospects, and others for a call, etc. Although he calls himself a doctor, he cannot in any way prove that he is one. When asked by the court where and when he lost his legs, Desayles first said he lost them in France; and when asked why he was not getting compensation, he could not answer. Then he said he was not in the combatant division, and even later said he was in the French army. When pressed for further information he claimed he was not in the army but was over there as a private citizen. It is believed that Desayles has been operating for some time as a crook and that whenever any racial trouble happens, he takes advantage of it by claiming to be a victim of the trouble. $50 In Prizes For Best Cake Housewives Offered Big Opportunity To Win Cash In Contest Through special arrangements with Mr. Benjamin W.

GO TO SCHOOL CAMPAIGN TO START APRIL 29 Fraternity Hopes To Carry Message To Entire Country Perhaps the most forward-looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students is the "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign which was begun a few years ago by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and which has since been conducted annually by that organization This year the "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign will be conducted by the now 45 chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha under the direction of Simeon S. Booker, General President of the Fraternity; Raymond P. Alexander, R. W. Cannon, James W. McGregor, and Charles W. Greene, Associate Directors; Carl J. Murphy, Director of the Speakers' Bureau; Norman L. McGhee, Director of Publicity; and Oscar C. Brown, Director of the Bureau of Statistics. Every chapter of the Fraternity will have a committee of five headed by its president to have charge of their local campaign. The plan of the campaign calls for the observing of April 29th as Educational Sunday in connection with which ministers of all denominations will be invited to cooperate; April 30th, as Conference Day with principals and teachers of public schools, clergymen and other leaders; May 1st, as Letter Writing Day, when communications will be sent to students and parents; May 2nd, as Parents' Day, when visits to homes will be made by members of the Fraternity; May 3rd, and 4th as Grammar School Day and High School Day respectively; May 5th as Banquet Day, when it is hoped to have each chapter of the Fraternity entertain the members of the senior classes of their local high schools where addresses will be made to them by local educational leaders; May 6th as Mass Meeting Day, when it is expected that large public meetings will be held in every city in the Country at which addresses will be delivered by outstanding educational leaders. From all indications the gospel of "Go to High School, Go to College" will be heard in every State in the Union as there are now chapters of members of the Alpha Phi Alpha in practically every city of importnace in the United States. Attack of Acute Indigestion Proves Fatal; Passed Away Tuesday LOSS MOURNED BY ALL Was Born in N.C., Graduated From Shaw and Boston Conservatory of Music All of Washington was thrown in mourning this week when the news of the sudden death of Mrs. Fannie Bridgets Norman, wife of Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, was flashed throughout the city. Mrs. Norman was one of the most well known and liked women in Washington. During her residence here she became intimately known to thousands of people. Mrs. Norman passed away from her home, 1933 13th St., N.W., at 2:45 o'clock Tuesday morning, March 27th. Mrs. Fannie Bridgets Norman was born in Raleigh, N. C. She attended Shaw University from which institution she graduated. She later went to Boston to study music and graduated from the Boston Conservatory. She possessed a wonderful voice and took active part in the development of the choir at her husband's church, which was known as one of the best choirs in the city. The sudden death of Mrs. Norman completely up-set Rev. Norman who is one of the leading ministers in the Baptist Church in the country. Rev. Norman has been grief stricken at his home ever since the death of his wife. They had been married for a number of years. The cause of Mrs. Norman's death was acute indigestion. Funeral services were held from Metropolitan Baptist Church. Interment was in a local cemetery. Mrs. M. W. D. Norman By George W. McCorkle Death plants a seed in every heart, And ceases not to work; His messengers in every breeze And every corner lurk The day and hour are not known, But we are told to keep Our hearts always in readiness To greet that last, long sleep. This monster with his icy hands Has touched another life; She goes to get her rich reward And leaves a world of strife. Her heart with music was attuned To prayer and to praise; She joins the great celestial choir To sing through endless days. She built her monument in hearts This was her highest aim; These shall perpetuate her life And magnify her name. She may have been misunderstood, But Jesus knew her best; A crown of righteousness is hers And one eternal rest.

BUSINESS MEN HOLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE Negro Business Must Be Supported if Race is To Advance The first of a series of Industrial and Economic Conferences to be held in the District of Columbia, was held at the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church 11th and R Sts., N.W., on Wednesday evening, March 21, at which addresses were delivered by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Mr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Mr. Whitefield McKinley and Dr. A. B. Jackson, officers and directors of the Ained Industrial Finance Corporation under whose auspices the Economic Conferences are being conducted. The purpose of these conferences as outlined by the speakers is to call to the attention of the Colored People of the District of Columbia, the growing need for more careful consideration of the economic interests of the Race. It was pointed out that there is definite need for larger and larger amounts of capital to meet the growing demands of the business enterprises being operated by Colored People and the general desire of the Colored People to become home owners Nothing more vividly indicates the need and necessity of a Corporation such as the Allied than the experience which the officers have had in having brought before them so many investment opportunities of a worthy nature which they have had to turn down because of lack of funds. Perhaps the best indication of the progress of the Corporation is seen in the fact that it was able to pay a quarterly dividend at the rate of 8 per cent a year on its preferred stock for the period July 1st to September 30th, 1922, and a similar dividend payment for the period October 1st to December 31st, 1922. The holding of this series of Economic and Industrial Conferences will be of great value in bringing to the attention of the Colored people, the great need of united effort in solving their economic and industrial problem. She paid the price each life must pay Let it be rich or poor; We should be ready to reply When death knocks at our door. Let us continue in the fight To win the Christian race, Then we shall meet around the throne Again to see her face Husband Deserts Wife and Eight Little Children Husband Deserts Wife and Eight Little Children Will Hold 12th Girls' School Annual Clinic Gets Dormitory AND SW Husband Deserts and Eight A few months ago a frail, little mother deserted by her husband, left with the care of eight little children, the youngest, nine months, the oldest, sixteen years, came to the attention of interested parties. The family was living in a dark, tumble-down house, without funds, food or clothing. The mother became ill and the entire responsibilities of this "home" fell upon the shoulders of the oldest boy. He cooked, cared for the children, and got those who were attending, off to school, then himself going to work from noon until eleven at night, earning only five dollars a week. The Associated Charities were called in. The mother's condition was found to be such that she had to be sent to the hospital, where she will be for some time. It was a most pathetic, heart-rending picture to see that mother, the only means of holding that family together, moved from the midst of those dim-eyed little people, mute with uncertainty and fear, and certainly no idea as to what the future held in store for them. A crisis exists in this family. There seem to be no relations to take any responsibility. The Associated Charities has seen that the family got proper medical attention, has supplemented the earnings of the boy by supplying food, fuel and clothes, and when possible, secured a caretaker for the children. The needs here are immediate and vital. Homes must be found for these children, either temporary or permanent. Money is required to supple- Will Hold 12th Annual Clinic Many Noted Physicians To Participate At Tuskegee Tuskegee, Ala.-The 12th annual clinic and 5th annual meeting of the John A.

The committee on program has arranged for a number of papers, lectures and clinical demonstrations, both medical and surgical. Dr. R. H. Miller of the surgical staff, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston and Dr. Wm. B. Breed of the staff of internal medicine, will be prominent speakers. Other speakers will be Dr. Albert A.

About $600,000 was invested in additional buildings and equipment at the three Negro Normals, $115,000 was put into the State A. & T. College, and $320,000 was invested in eighty-one Rosenwald school buildings. A $60,000 colored high school was recently dedicated at Salisbury and a similar plant is now under way at Greensboro. In the appropriations for 1923 the A. & T. College comes in for nearly half a million dollars for further expansion. The Negroes of the state have been greatly encouraged by this liberal policy and are contributing from their private funds more than $100,000 a year to aid in building schools and lengthening the term. The Best Sport Page in the East. WINDLER arts Wife nt Little Children ment the earnings of this boy, and if a home cannot be found, to provide a caretaker for the children who are now doing the best they can for themselves. They must go back to school. The Board of Children's Guardians would ordinarily take charge of these children, but they cannot function, because Congress failed to pass the Deficiency Bill carrying the necessary supplementary funds to carry on this work. An appeal is herein being made directly to the public to come to the relief of this family. They are deserving. What will you do to help? 1. You may offer suggestions as to how funds can be raised, or where, possibly, homes may be found for one or more of these children. 2. You may contribute funds for the direct assistance of these children. 3. You may open your house for one or more of these little ones.

Beginning eighteen years ago without capital, she has built up an institution with assets of over $300,000 and a student body of 370 girls.

SPORT CHATTER From all angles unquestionably the greatest basketball season in the history of the sport in this city is approaching a final whistle. The rapidity with which this thrilling indoor pastime has gained popularity among local fandom is surprising. On numerous occasions nearly 1000 spectators witnessed games at the Casino and Colonnade. While at practically all games between teams of any merit, league teams or outsiders, a representative audience was present. Another feature of the past season was the appearance of the two outstanding Colored quints of the country, the Loendi club of Pittsburgh and Commonwealth club of New York. The brand of basketball displayed by these teams was truly a revelation. The Baltimore Athenians and Orioles also showed their wares here. The work of local officials was of high order. An organization of city arbitrators found its beginning during the past season. The members of this organization are Messrs. Benjamin Washington, Edward Henderson, Thomas Johnson, Ike Cupid and Newton Miller. The development of Johnson and Cupid into first-class officials is worthy of comment. The former worked in practically all inter-city games while Cupid handled all high school encounters. The Armstrong High quint and Y. W. C. A. All-Stars stood out in their respective classes over anything in the city and in fact in the East. It would be a difficult task to name the city's leading independent team. However the showing of the Lightning "5," Gladiators and Alcoes places them over all others. The Lightning "5" met the New York Spartans, Athenians, Lincoln and closed the season by engaging the strong Yankees, a white aggregation and runner-ups for the city championship. A review of local players and teams will appear in an early edition. ROBINSON NOT TO COACH AT HOWARD We wish to correct an item that appeared in these columns some weeks ago commenting on the official appointment of Leo Robinson as assistant track coach at Howard. Contrary to this announcement Robinson has not been named assistant track coach at the University and will again carry the Blue and White colors at the Penn Relays and the Hampton and Howard meets. He will assist coach Watson only in the capacity of a member of the team. To know that Robinson has reconsidered his plan to retire from the cinderpath is pleasing news to Howard track followers. WILBERFORCE'S CLAIM TO CHAMPIONSHIP A lengthy letter from A. Hasbrook, Wilberforce's sport scribe, who in behalf of his university questions Morehouse's claim to the Colored intercollegiate basketball championship has recently reached this office. Mr. Hasbrook points out that Wilberforce won seven games this season without a setback, amassed a total of 274 points to opponents' 109, and undoubtedly had her greatest team in history. He also stresses the fact that both Morehouse and Lincoln cancelled games with the Ohioans after being scheduled. It is unfortunate that this great quint that coach Mohr developed at Wilberforce the past season could not have met Morehouse, Hampton and Lincoln, and thereby clarified the present intercollegiate tangle. The distant locality of this University coupled with the inability to list enough games to cover expenses was given by Coach Harvey as the reason Morehouse did not visit Wilberforce and no doubt the same situation confronted Lincoln. In view of Morehouse's sweep of the South and victory over Hampton who in turn defeated Lincoln, it is hard to rank any team over the Tigers. The recent announcement that St. Paul Normal School had been accepted as a member of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association brings to mind the startling rise of this institution in the athletic world. It is hardly necessary to go back over a five-year period to recall when hardly a half-dozen athletic games a year were contested by St. Paul. But like a thunderbolt out of the clear sky, this School suddenly awakened and now there is not a Colored institution in the country that could not profit by the adoption or acquisition of such a spirit and policy as may be found at St. Paul. Not alone, however, does St. Paul emphasize athletics, but the authorities have realized that to derive intellectual benefits a sound body and cheerful spirit are necessary; and consequently the school is experiencing its greatest year in the thirty-five years of its existence.

Washington 'Potomacs To Train in Richmond MANY STARS TO REPORT The new Washington "Potomaes" under the management of Ben Taylor will embark next Teusday for training camp at Richmond, Virginia. About ten men will make the trip from Washington with the remainder of the squad coming direct from their homes. A series of games with the Richmond Giants have been booked and negotiations are under way for other games with Virginia and North Carolina colleges and independent teams. Many Stars Under Contract The signing of William Ross, Maurice Williams, "Bullet" Campbell, pitchers; Ralph Jefferson, William Woods, outfielders; Lewis, catcher; and "Bucky" Ridgelye, infielder has been announced by Manager Taylor. In addition to the above group and "Specks" Clark, Wayne Carr, and Eggleston who were announced last week three men from Georgia, one infielder from Texas, and three brothers from North Carolina, all highly recommended and reputed to possess major league class, will receive tryouts at the training camp. Manager Taylor considers himself were fortunate in landing Ross who is Man credited as being one of the brainiest the pitchers in the game. Last season majors Ross was with the A. B. C.'s and had A ce much to do with the success of that are team. He is a righthander and started trial pitching in Texas in 1913. During 1920-21-22 Ross pitched in the California Winter League (white) and was A primarily responsible for his team try winning the pennant. Ross depends upon a fast breaking curve and a good Kur change of pace. Both Williams and Campbell are N. fast ball pitchers. Williams, a righthander, towers over 6 ft. 4 in and weights over 200 pounds. He was an A. B. C. member during 1921-22. Campbell also an orthodox tvriler hails from Boston. Taylor had to work fast to sign Campbell as several Eastern teams were on his trail. Woods and Jefferson are looked upon as sure regulars. The former is recognized by Colored and White sport writers as one of the fastest men in the game. Woods has played with the American Giants, Columbus Buckeyes and A. B. C. clubs of the National League. He has few equals in laying down a bunt and beating it out. Jefferson began his professional career under C. I. Taylor. He is a graduate of Atlanta University and has the reputation of being one of the best hit-and-run workers in the game. Ridgeley and Lewis are not new to Washington fans, both played with the Baltimore Black Sox last season. "Buckley" is one of the most popular local products now playing professional baseball. His best playing days are ahead of him and if he doesn't make guarded as a fair hitter and will likely be carried as utility man. Lewis has a strong throwing arm and is regarded as a fair hitter and will likely be carried as an understudy to Eggleston. The men coming from the south whose names have not been announced were looked over by Taylor's scouts. Manzger Taylor makes no secret of the fact that he has high hopes of the majority of these group making good. A couple of pitchers, one a southpaw, are most certain to be given thorough trial.

"Potomacs" is Name of Washington's New Baseball Club Washington's new professional baseball team under Ben Taylor's management will be officially known as the "Potomacs." Out of more than 100 names submitted by local fans, the judges agreed that the above title vividly fitted the newly formed club. Mr. Walter Dickson, 1151 20th St., N.W. gets the glory, honor, and a pass to all local games to be played by the "Potomacs" for suggesting the name which was accepted by the judges. An interesting feature of the contest was the large number of letters that accompanied the names endorsing and guaranteeing the support of the fans for the coming season. In all parts of the country people have learned to link the Potomac river with Washington and in a short time Ben Taylor's aggregation will bear this same association with the Capital of the nation Messrs. S. H. Dudley, well known theater magnate; W. O. Walker, managing editor of the Tribune; and, B. H. Taylor, manager of the "Potomacs" served as judges of the title contest.

R THE WASHINGTON TRIAL SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923 (Continued from page 5) Collegiate Athletic Notes BRIGHT HOPES AT HOWARD Howard baseball and track candidates are rounding into condition. About 50 track and 30 baseball men have been limbering up for the past month. Most of this time, however, has been spent in the gym. The pitching staff of the locals shapes up well with Clark a southpaw and Long, a righthander, headliners. Both are experienced pitchers. Taylor and Green are others showing form The staff is far advanced and this can be credited in no small measure to Mahoney, a Washingtonian who last season pitched for the A. B. C's and at present is working out with the Howard squad and assisting Coach Allen preparatory to joining the Baltimore Black Sox. The catchers are giving the coaches much worry. The loss of Kean by graduation left quite a gap to be filled. However, Higgins is developing fast, while Young and Whitted are promising. Efforts are being made to coach Jack Nurse of football fame and an experienced backstop to come out. Speed Johnson, a weak hitter but dependable fielder, may again win the initial sack berth. Jacobs is also in the running for this position. At second Robinson is having little competition. Long and Melton two veterans are fighting for the shortfield. It is not unlikely that a shift will be made in the infield to take care of these seasoned players. Bryant has the hot corner practically clinched. The outfield will be selected from Doneghey, Walker, Baylor, Jackson and Dotson. In this group are a number of heavy hitters and gardeners capable of covering a wide area. The track candidates numbering nearly 50 can be found tramping the cinder path in the early morns and late afternoons. The relay teams in preparatio for the Penn. Carnival are receiving most attention although the entire squad is making ready for the inter-fraternal meet on April 21. Present plans are to have Howard represented in three relay events; medley relay, mile relay, and freshmen championship at the Carnival. Nichols a former University of Nebraska miler and Bridges from the University of Pittsburg are experienced and fast and much is expected of both. Any of the regulars of last season, Captain Kraft, Wyndon, Contee and Robinson, will be hard to displace. Brown and Walker are also displaying natural ability. Anderson, Howard's representative in the field events at the Carnival last season who failed to make good due to inability to stay inside the circle, is making every effort to remedy this fault and win fame for Howard. The interclass meet will be held on April 14th and an annual intercollegiate meet on May 12th. LINCOLN ALUMNI HONOR LIONS The "Old Guards" of Lincoln headed by Dr. Lewis of Philadelphia and Dr. Alexander, graduate manager, of Orange, N. J. motored out to the Music Forum Music Forum By Wellington A. Adams MRS. NORMAN, MUSICIAN, DIES SUDDENLY In the unexpected, sudden death of Mrs. Norman, wife of the Rev. Dr. Norman pastor of Metropolitan Baptist church, the race and citizens of Washington lose a musician and music teacher of some prominence. Her influence was largely felt among music students, many of whom sought her counsel and whose careers were shaped by her musical excellence. In her demise we bow our head in silent tribute to a fellow-musician who quits the shores of time to join a greater musical host on the other side, striking her harp of gold with angelic sound in the presence of her maker.—God. Rest on! Thompson, Mr. John M. Pritchett. The choir of Meade P. E. Chape under the personal direction of the organist, Mrs. J. Milton Hopkins, will render "The Easter Alleluia" on Easter Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock Mr. Edwin S. Thomas, baritone soloist of Cleveland, Ohio, will sing the offertory. The music loving public is cordially invited. IN MEMORIAM COLBERT—Sacred to the memory of our dear wife and mother, Alice V. Colbert who entered into rest two years ago today, March, 27, 1921. In our hearts your memory lingers, Tenderly, sweetly and true. There is not a day dear wife and mother, That we do not think of you. By the Family University last week and presented nineteen blue sweaters bearing the orange "L" to the victors of the Howard-Lincoln classic. Speeches were made by representatives of the "Old Guards." Ex-captain Coston, Captain-elect Johnson, and manager Sterrett made stirring speeches. The student body and faculty turned out en masse to witness the colorful occasion. Only two members, Sty Woods and Jacques, will be lost to the 1923 Lion varsity. St. Paul Stresses Athletics For over three weeks baseball practice at St. Paul has been in full swing. The veterans Maddux, Collins, Williams, Cooke, Harris, Bruce, Blackwell, Wallace, Allison and Lee are showing excellent form while there is much promising material among the new recruits. Howard, Lincoln, Hampton, Va. Seminary, Va. Normal, N. C. State, Kittrell, J. K. Brick, Bennett and National Training are on St. Paul's schedule. The track team is slowly rounding into shape having been retarded by inclement weather. J. Williams, Yancy, Brooks, Green, Brown, Banks, Baskerville, and Johnson are Coach Niles' chief reliances for the Howard and Hampton meets. Although every student takes an active part in one or more branches of physical exercises, beginning with the 1923-24 session, physical education at St. Paul will be compulsory. A physical director to handle the men and a woman assistant to supervise the girl's training are soon to be named. Major Whitehead, '15, and of Springfield College and University of Pennsylvania recently conducted an exhibition in gymnastics which not only was a rare treat but far reaching in its effect. Adams to Lead Union Adams the brilliant shortstop of Virginia Union has been elected captain of the nine. In addition to meeting all association teams the Panthers will take their annual southern trip. MOREHOUSE WINS TWO FROM TUSKEGEE By Dock D. Crawford, Jr. Atlanta, Ga.—March 24, 1923—Before the largest crowd of the season the Morehouse Tigers won a twin bill from the Tuskegee Bears by the count of 8-3 and 3-1, respectively. Marlin, the veteran right-hander of the Tiger squad, pitched a wonderful game until the sixth inning, when Tuskegee pounded out 3 hits for 3 runs. Fourteen of the Tuskegee batters were turned back via the strike out route. The second game was featured by a pitching duel between Starr of Morehouse and Smith, a southpaw of Tuskegee.

LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: This is my second letter to the "Children's Page." I was the writer of the letter without a name and I hope I shall not forget again. Easter is here to bring us cheer, I do hope the day will be fair: We will dye our eggs, Exercise our legs, And go walking on Easter everywhere. CARL CHASE (Age ?) Dear Editor: No matter what I have to do or where I have to go on Friday night, I always find time to glance over the "Children's Page." I am fond THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNESATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923 of reading poetry and I find a lot of it on the page. I hope to receive the paper and enjoy the page for a long, long time. This is my first letter. I have been intending to write for a long while, but just kept putting it off. Because I enjoy reading the page I think that I should at least let you hear from me. I am for the page all the time. MOLLIE O. RICHARDSON (Age 16) Dear Editor: You do not know how happy I was to know I had become a "Special" but just because I became a "Special" once, I will not stop there, I will try and try, until I become an "Honor Child." I am sending in a printer's pi which I made and a story which I composed. ERMA BARBOUR (Age 12) Bunny is going all over the world To greet each little boy and girl. CARL LEE EARLY. Dear Editor: I know you think that I have forsaken the "Children's Page" but you are mistaken, for from now on I am going to write more often. I have been studying very hard in school in order that I might obtain very good marks in my studies. I am in the second term high school. I attend Dunbar High School now. OLEVIA R. MORRIS (Age ?) Dear Editor: How are you. Notice most of the old Tribunites are dropping from their work now. What has become of Alonzo Aden, Lawrence Trimmer, the Bannister girls and others? I wish there was some special meeting or something of the sort where all the Tribunites could meet each other and talk over ideas for the improvement of the Page, it would stir their interest. Why not have a contest for the girls and a contest for the boys? The boys' contest could consist of telling how to make something and the girls' contest could consist of something like (as I am not familiar with girls' interests I cannot make a suggestion). RUFUS P. TURNER (Age 15) (Dear Rufus: Many of the old-timers write cards saying "hello" to me. Most are busy with their studies. The Bannister girls have moved to Baltimore. Your suggestions are good and I am glad to note your active interest. If you wish to write to any of the Tribunites, you can secure their addresses upon request.—C. L. F.) 614 So. Washington St., Alexa., Va. Dear Editor: Please find in this letter an Easter poem entitled "O Glorious Morn." I have been reading your page for sometime, and have sometimes sent answers to puzzles and other things. I have once been a "Special." I hope Mr. Scrapbasket is out riding or walking when my letter arrives. FLORENCE HAYNES (Age 11) Dear Editor: I am sending in an Easter story which I hope won't go in the trash basket. I tried to compose a poem but it did not take. For my pen name I would like "Queen Beth." LOUISE E. AMOS (Age 9) AN EASTER STORY (By Louise E. Amos, Age 9) Once upon a time a little girl whose name was Nell was wishing that Easter would come. Soon the day before Easter came. She said, "Easter is nearly here. It brings us happiness and good cheer." That night she put her basket on the table and left a note saying, "Dear Mr. Bunny: 'Please eave me a little Easter egg' to put in my bastet." When Mr. Bunny came he read the note and put the egg in the basket and rode away. The next day Nel's mother took her to the zoo. When she went to bed she dreamt that she was still in the zoo. Note—"The Squire" when reading the "proof" of this letter remarked that the most interesting feature of it is the fact that the writer seems to be one of the few persons in this part of the country who know the part that the Easter Rabbit is supposed to play in the observance of Easter. "The Squire" says that in the northern part of Europe, and in those parts of America settled by peoples from those countries, the Easter Rabbit plays a sort of Santa Claus' part except that he brings—or lays in some more or less secluded place—eggs, mostly beautifully colored, each EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY ```markdown ``` "Emancipation," group, (front view), by Meta Vaux, Warrick Fuller "Emancipation," group, (front view), by Meta Vaux. Warrick Fuller (Note—The picture of this group shown last week was by error labelled "front view" when it should have been, "side view." This week's picture is front view.-Ed.) (Continued from last week) "EMANCIPATION," GROUP By META V. WARRICK FULLER (Continued) In this group we may see limbs, bodies, and joints modeled after the manner of present day works of that "school" of sculptors represented in America chiefly by Barnard, the Borglums, and Konti, and in Europe by several noted sculptors, including that greatest of moderns, Rodin. In the works of these and their school we find an effort at least to shape and model—so far as shaping and modeling are carried—as in Nature we find things, and not as we imagine they ought ideally to be. But the most important and characteristic qualities of the work of this school of sculptors spring from deep seriousness of purpose and virility in "Emancipation," group, (f Warrick F (Note—The picture of this group shows "front view" when it should have e ture is front vi expression. To these qualities, which may be called affirmative, may be added certain other qualities, which we may, for our purpose, call negative. Chiefly, these latter are results of an indifference to "finish" and, under certain conditions, a tolerance if not an approval of seeming incompleteness. The qualities to which I have referred as negative are the ones most likely to be misunderstood, and if understood, liable to lack appreciation. Concerning these qualities, it has seemed to me that in the works of these sculptors in which these qualities appear, "beauty," that is, conventional beauty, is but lightly regarded; the fundamental purpose being to set forth ideas or to express character, and to do so with the utmost directness and simplicity. Hence, in these cases, when the modeling has proceeded far enough to accomplish the purpose intended, the sculptor feels free to stop. Bromwell quotes Rodin as saying: "One stops at some stage or other when he has put into his work all he sees, all he has sought for, all he cares to put, or all he particularly wants." And Mauclair further quotes him: "No notion is falser than that of finish unless it be that of elegance: by means of these two ideas people would kill our art. . . The public, perverted by academic prejudices, confounds art with neatness." The modern tendency toward the subordination of what may be called minute modeling and high finish to Easter morning. The children have great fun searching for—and finding—these eggs. Hence the prevalence of the Rabbit in Easter decorations.—Ed. By loftiness of purpose and depth of meaning—the subordination of technique to conception—is, in my opinion, of so much importance, that I am inclined to press the matter just a little further. To that end, permit me to quote a passage from a recent book by Kenyon Cox, "The Classic Point of View." He says: "The modern view was admirably expressed in a favorite saying of the late Augustus St. Gaudens which has been frequently quoted. 'You may do anything,' he used to say, 'it is the way you do it that counts.' As he meant it, the saying is a true one, for he did not mean that if you do a things cleverly enough, with great skill and command of material, that alone will make it a great work of art. He included sincerity, nobility of temper, high purpose, a love of beauty and a love of truth, among the elements of 'the way you do it'; and he would have placed mere virtuosity, (front view.), by Meta Vaux. Fuller wn last week was by error labelled e been, "side view." This week's pic- view.—Ed.) however excellent a thing in itself, far below these qualities in his scale of values. He would have been among the first to admit that there is a sense in which the reverse of his proposition is equally true. If the thing done be noble it does not matter how it is done. If the picture or statue have dignity of conception and grandeur of mass and line, if it conveys to you a sense of imaginative grasp on the part of the artist, if it arouses emotion and elevates the mind, it may be ruggedly—almost clumsily—executed; it may be entirely devoid of surface charm and technical dexterity and be none the less a work of art." Mrs. Fuller's group as it stood at the Exposition was in plaster. It was about eight feet high, making the figures a little over life-size; the youth being six feet six inches high. It is perhaps due the sculptress to say, that, notwithstanding her leaning toward the school to which I have referred, she was not satisfied with the execution. It was, in fact, a "hurry order," hence the modeling was less complete than she desired. She also says in her letter, "I am sorry that time did not permit me to represent in some way the faith, poetry, and music which in the Negro is so great.") The group was to be cast in bronze by the Emancipation Commission, but Mrs. Fuller writes that she "could not hand down to posterity a piece done so hurriedly as a representative bit of work." She said that, for the general public, "time would be no excuse," hence she asked and received permission to work further on it as she had opportunity. (To be continued) Poets' Corner CONDUCTED by C.

TRIBUNE EASTER POEM CONTEST WINNERS FOR 1923 FIRST PRIZE: One Dollar and two theatre tickets; was won by Mabel Wych, Age 13. SECOND PRIZE: Ten theatre tickets; was won by Florence Haynes, Age 9. THIRD PRIZE: Five theatre tickets; was won by Celestine M. Jefferson, Age 15. Other Good Poems Submitted "Easter Time" by Annie Young, 12 years old, 601 Fairmont St., N. W., was very good. "Tomorrow is Easter Sunday And the next day is the day We will have our great hurray." Annie, I truly hope your day will be a pleasant one and real "hurray" day for you. George Morse, age 10, who lives at 1629 D St., S. E., says in his poem: "When Easter is gone We are all forborn." Why be forlorn, George, Christmas is just nine months off. "The Resurrection" a four verse poem by Beulah E. Barbour of Lincoln Park, Glendale, Md., is worthy of mention. The second verse is as follows: "Sing with all the angels of glory Sing the resurrection song, Because we are spared to tell the story Of the God we've loved so long." "Easter Days" by Effie E. Reeves, 14 years old, 1007 26th St., N. W., was very very good. EASTER MORN First Prize Easter Poem, 1923 By MABEL WYCH, Age 13 The Saviour wakened from the dead, The grave has lost its prey; He's risen as the Prophet said, At dawn—the peep of day. With sorrowing hearts and anxious face, Unmindful of his promised word; Mary came to see the place, With face aglow above the tomb, Above the sable darkened night An angel rose within the tomb— Arose in radiant spotless white. Said he, "Ye seek the Saviour slain, Who has given the world new life He's left the tomb, you faithful few, He's conquered hell and strife. The rich, the poor, the humble slave, To meet Him who has set us free." And so we celebrate the day On which our blessed Lord arose, Who went to teach our feet the way, From earth to farther, fairer shores. Oh! Easter day! Glad Easter day, (The messenger of life to come) Within our souls you shed a ray Which lights pure mortals to their home. O GLORIOUS MORN By FLORENCE HAYNES, Age 9 O Glorious Morn, When Christ arose Triumphant from the grave. He died, ah! yes, For you and me, That we from sin he'd save. --- O Glorious Morn, When all are glad, Even the poorest boy, One Easter egg, Just only one, Can cause a lost of joy. Corner LESLIE FRAZIER O Glorious Morn, When parks are filled, With children merrily When every one, With smiling face, Sings out so cheerily. O Glorious Morn, When violets blue, On plain and hill do peep. When lilies white, Most beautiful, Do wake the earth from sleep. This glorious morn, This blessed morn, On which our Lord arose. This holy morn, Most blessed morn, Is Easter, Easter, Morn. NOTE: The third prize poem will be published next week.—C. L. F. Dedicated to the memory of the Gibbs Children who were accidentally killed Easter Sunday Morning, 1922. With eager steps and hand in hand, On Easter Morn they strolled along, With gleefulness within their hearts, Upon their lips, perhaps, a song, Had lingered there to conquer wrong. They knew not death was lurking 'round Nor did they know the end was nigh; A tragedy heart rendering Was fast approaching to defy Their thought on safety to rely. Two buds of prounse, instantly, Were severed from earth's spreading tree, By force of Time's unyielding wheel; While hoping many years to see They stewed into eternity. Our hearts were touched with sympathy For those who felt the deepest pain; The children's lives of innocence Were swept away without a stain; This meant our loss was heaven's gain. We weep and wail while Providence In mystery our hopes destroy; A sympathetic Hand awaits, If we our wills and hearts employ→ From every sorrow comes a joy. of earth. Thou art a thing of Paradise, A wind-blow creature of the skies, Too lovely and too holy to be of lowly birth throne, thou grew; Grew lovely, tall, unblemished, white, Spun from a ray of morning light And watered with the Heaven's own dew. As the seraphs, who, for purity, Bathe their wings in the depthless sea Of divinity, flowing from His throne. Thou art come to earth now like some faint sweet breath By J. Stephen Agenor You have forgiven me; yet I cannot Expect you to forget. I have bruised you, Oh! If you could Only measure my regret; The pain is piercing. My sorrow unceasing. To me, and mine, your kind heart is true? God wills, my truest aim for good Shall ever be for you. It is the heart that prompts me, Sincere and true. A debt, I owe, of gratitude, O'er and o'er, to you. Copy this little speech on a postal and send it to that friend. Mr. Agenor perhaps says what you have been trying to say and couldn't.

He heard much from the Republican Party for the Negro; but the signal failure of the administration has brought the Negro voter to asked him to reflect upon the long strings of the Republicans. If the Republican Party is to make "law enforcement issue in 1924, it is evident that much order will be thus created; and in the tent, it is hoped that it goes beyond the nine Amendments, the 18th (to which the in allude) and will take in the whole scope, including the 14th and the 15th Amendments.

Then may God have mercy upon the white man's Bible that "Righteousness Sin is a reproach to any people." We are people really believe that?

Does the President believe in His Ordining Administration is to make "law and then 1924, why not begin now and clean up the Administration permit the Dyer Anti-Lyme Senate for lack of its support? Why do general permit abject peonage to exist in the why does he permit the coal operators to hard earned money by selling "waste" the permit the sugar barons to raise the price more than $500,000,000 extra? Why do men to participate in rum running and when they are caught with a half pint? Mr. President, and Mr. Attorney General in your sincerity as to the issue in 1924. The 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States receive with keen appreciation the announcement that President Harding will make "law enforcement" his paramount issue in the coming campaign of 1924. The Tribune would suggest that the President begin the enforcement of law during the remainder of his present term which has nearly two years to run. By so doing he will give the people an example of his intention and his ability to enforce law. Also, we should then have tangible demonstration of his principles. We remember a few "front porch speeches" and promises which we have failed to hear anything more about since the President, arrived in Washington. We have heard much from the Republican Party as to its friendship for the Negro; but the signal failure of the party during this Administration has brought the Negro voter to his senses and has caused him to reflect upon the long string of broken promises of the Republicans. However, if the Republican Party is to make "law enforcement" its paramount issue in 1924, it is evident that much sentiment for law and order will be thus created; and in the creation of that sentiment, it is hoped that it goes beyond the enforcement of one of the Amendments, the 18th (to which the issue will be supposed to allude) and will take in the whole scope of the Constitution, including the 14th and the 15th Amendments, if you please. The President and Attorney General should realize that a people can not be expected to respect and obey the statutory law of the country, in full, as long as they wink at the breaking of two of the constitutional Amendments. Habit is a powerful factor in the human life. Persistent disrespect for, and breaking of, the Constitution as to some of its amendments creates disrespect for the Constitution as a whole and for all law. The South has disregarded the Constitution and broken the laws of the land at will ever since it acquired the habit during the Rebellion. The various Administrations since Lincoln, have encouraged the practice by acquiescing in the constant breaking of Constitutional laws. The Administration will have a hard row to hoe while attempting to enforce certain laws, while it permits other laws to be broken with impunity. Carrying "law enforcement" as the paramount issue of one of the major parties of this country will be a sad commentary on our supposed Christian civilization. Have we gotten to that point where we must make "law enforcement" a "paramount issue" in a national campaign? Then may God have mercy upon us, for we are told in the white man's Bible that "Righteousness exalteth a nation but Sin is a reproach to any people." We wonder how many white people really believe that? How many of them really believe their Bible that they are trying to enforce upon the supposed heathen? Does the President believe in His Bible? If the Harding Administration is to make "law and Order" its battle cry in 1924, why not begin now and clean up the K. K. K.? Why did the Administration permit the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to die in the Senate for lack of its support? Why does the Attorney General permit abject peonage to exist in the Southern States? Why does he permit the coal operators to fleece the public out of hard earned money by selling "waste" for coal? Why does he permit the sugar barons to raise the price of sugar and clean up more than $500,000,000 extra? Why does he permit moneyed men to participate in rum running and arrest the poor devils when they are caught with a half pint? Begin now, Mr. President, and Mr. Attorney General, and we will believe in your sincerity as to the issue in 1924.

The Christian world celebrates this day as the one on which Christ arose from the dead. In Matt. 28th chapter and 6 verse the angel is quoted as saying: "He is not here; He is risen as he said." In those three words used as the subject of this editorial, the fundamental principle of Christianity is encouched. The Resurrection is an outstanding feature of the Christian religion. And there is a wonderful lesson in these three words—"He is risen"—for the Negro. The masses are in the narrow confines of superstition and ignorance. A resurrection from these would be a wonderful blessing to the race. Religion is supposed to eliminate superstition and eradicate ignorance, but it has not accomplished either for the race. Consider the State of Louisiana. With more than a million Negroes, there is only one public high school in the state, and that is in New Orleans. There are more than fifty parishes, or counties, that do not have a single public school house for Negroes owned by the parish, or county. There are only thirty-four high schools in all the Southern states, and the state of Texas has more than half of them. For the race to "rise" there must be an enlargement of the possibilities for the masses to secure more secondary training. May we ask for this along with our Easter prayers! BAPTIST MINISTERS CONFERENCE BAPTIST MINISTERS CONFERENCE Refuting the statements of Dr. Grant concerning the Immaculate Conception of Christ, Dr. C. S. Morris, president of the school at Boydenton, Va., preached a strong, inspiring and infroning sermon at the regular meeting of the Baptist Ministers Conference Monday, at Metropolitan Baptist Church on R Street.

Over forty managers and performers attended the meeting. CATHOLICS HAVE MANY NEGRO SCHOOLS The Catholic Church in America is giving increasing attention to Negro education. According to a recent statement it has "eight special schools of more than local importance and about one hundred and twenty-five small parochial schools," with total property values of half a million dollars.

The Catholic Church claims a Negro membership of 250,000 in the United States. much of ourselves as we think of white folks and we will not get anywhere until we change our thots so that we will think more of ourselves and less of the white folks."

WOULD-BE LYNCHERS The fight against lynching gains ground. A mob which a few days ago charged the jail at Palatka, Florida, intending to lynch a Negro accused of murder, was repulsed by the sheriff. Thirteen members of the mob were later arrested and jailed on the charge of assault with intent to murder. On January 29th, North Carolina troops were rushed to Whiteville just in time to disperse a mob that was attempting to take from the jail a prisoner charged with murder. On February 9th a detachment of Texas Rangers was ordered to Waco to guard against the possibility of mob violence in the case of Roy Mitchell, a confessed murderer. In January, a South Carolina mob took a Negro suspect from jail, but for smoe reason had a change of heart and returned him uninjured to the officers. During last year twenty-two indictments were returned against members of mobs in Georgia. Four were convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. Others are still to be tried. Virginia courts recently convicted a member of a lynching party, and sent him to the penitentiary. FRENCH GOVERNMENT BUYS NEGRO'S PICTURE In the field of art the work of an American Negro, Henry O.
