Model of Mammy Statue Insults Race Death of White Man in Florida Peonage Camp Causes Stir RACE INSURANCE COMPANIES OPERATING IN DISTRICT SHOW RESOURCES OF $6,440,895.01 First in Local Circulation. Vol. 2, No. 48 Mode Dea RACE INSURANCE OPERATING IN D RESOURCES OF A tabulation of the nine insurance companies and societies owned and operated by colored people doing business in the District of Columbia forms an interesting economic and commercial subject for thought. The ones tabulated are the Standard Life, of Atlanta, Ga.; The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance, of Durham, N. C.; The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Washington; The Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio; Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Va.; The Standard Benefit Insurance Company of Baltimore, Md.; The American Woodmen, of Denver, Colo. and the Federal Life Insurance Company of Washington, chartered on March first. Capital and Assets The combined capital and surplus of these companies totals $2,405,763.28. That is not a bad showing; but when the assets of them are considered we find a total of $6,440,895.01. This is real strength and shows a gain of $1,188,271.79 over last year. It is noticeable that one company, the Standard Life, has passed the two million mark in assets, the first company to reach that point. The Standard Life The Standard Life comes first in point of being the oldest in the old line legal reserve business, and the largest in point of assets, these being $2,042,439.68. The largest item in the asset column is mortgage loans, $836,268.85, which is nearly $200,000 more than it had the previous year. If these loans are among colored farmers or property holders, then the Standard is a real economic factor, rendering tangible service to the people from whom it receives its income. Policy loans have increased about $100,000 totaling $274,377.98. We are sure that these have been distributed among colored people. Since the States require deposits to secure the Capital stock the Standard Life has $292,644.49 in government and municipal bonds. Of the nine doing business here, this company has the largest amount of cash on hand, which is $305,172.35. The Standard reserve fund of $1,646,310.64 is an increase of about $400,000 and places it in the forefront in reserve for the protection of policy holders. Insurance in force on December 31, 1922, was $22,881,575. There is one item of $139,952.50 labeled "borrowed money." N. C. Mutual The next in reserve, asset and cash is the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. The mortgage loans of this company have about doubled since the last annual statement, and are now $614,802.64. Since the writer's article reviewing the insurance companies last year the N. C. Mutual has put out a little booklet showing how its loans are distributed. Most of them have gone to colored farmers and home owners and have been a real factor in securing and saving homes and property for their policy holders and others of the race that could give the proper security. This company owns real estate to the value of $356,124.01. That includes the fine seven story office building in Durham. The stocks and bonds held by this company have been reduced about fifty per cent, having dropped more than $600,000 to $323,591. This is much better than last year. Cash on hand is $210,215.29, with an item of borrowed money amounting to $35,000. The reserve of the N. C. Mutual is $1,462,103.00. This is more than a quarter of a million over 1921 and gives us two companies with more than a million each on reserve.

C. Boone, of Monrovia, Liberia, was the feature of the Baptist Ministers Conference Monday, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Dr. Boone has spent the past twenty years in Liberia. He is the only colored physician in the whole republic. His address was instructive because it gave more light on Liberia than has been obtainable without much research. "On the 20th of December, 1816," said Dr. Boone, "there gathered in the parlor of one Mr. Cardwell, of Boston, many friends who had their teeth clenched against slavery. Among them was Robert Finley. He said to the friends there gathered: 'We must plant a colony of free blacks on their own soil of Africa, where they can be true men unopposed by the prejudice and unrighteous legislation of the whites.' "At that meeting it was decided to undertake the scheme of planting a colony in Africa. The next meeting was held in Washington. D. C., and a society was formed. Samuel J. Mills was chosen to make the first trip and make a survey of the country and the possibilities for the colony. "On November 16, 1817 he sailed for Africa, via London. He finally landed in Africa, in February, 1818. The report was encouraging and thirty families were assembled for the first settlers, who sailed on the ship Elizabeth. They landed in Sierra Leone but finally sailed down the coast about 300 miles and found a bluff that looked healthy and with a good harbor. It was a desirable location. "Lott Carey was among this first number and upon the death of Mr Ashmun, the Governor General, Carey assumed the responsibility of being their leader and held the band together. It was on the present site of the Providence Baptist Church, in Monrovia that Carey first sung the praises of God and raised the banner of the cross. "Providence Baptist Church was the first church to be established in Liberia, with Lott Carey as its first pastor. "They recently celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of that church. There has gone out of that church, thirty-five Baptist Churches with 5,000 members, three institutions of learning and thousands of Sunday School students." Dr. Boone will sail April 28th to resume his work in Liberia. A young man who is a native of Liberia, who is here studying dentistry at Howard University, was introduced to the Conference. His name is A. F. I. DeWalt. There is not a colored dentist in Liberia, and young Mr. DeWalt hopes to be the first. Being a native, he feels the responsibility and is inspired with the desire for service that he will be able to render his people. Dr. M. D. W. Norman, the president of the conference was ill, and not able to attend the conference. --- Denver, Colo.—Special—It was announced here Thursday that Dr. E. W. D. Abner, prominent physician of Austin, Tex., and Supreme Medical Examiner of the American Woodmen, had been elected Supreme Commander to succeed the late Hon. C. M. White. SOUTHERNERS' CONCEFTION OF MAMMY, TYPICAL THOUSANDS VOICE PROTEST While no model of the proposed "Black Mammy" Monument has been officially approved by the Jefferson Davis Chapter of the Daughters of Confederacy, a picture of one of the models submitted was published here last week in a local afternoon paper. The model was by a white woman, now of Birmingham, Ala., but formerly of Washington, D. C. Its passage if introduced, will be bitterly fought by the various civic and racial organizations throughout the country controlled by Negroes or sympathizers with their cause. The model already submitted is an insult to the Negro citizens of this country. It stirs afresh the hatred of slavery and its erection would be a direct bow to the movement for better racial feeling in this country. Mrs. Lucinda Shorter Walker, 1412 S Street, N.W., spent Easter Sunday in Atlantic City with a party of friends. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 DR. ABNER MADE HEAD OF AMERICAN WOODMEN Can Only Think of Race as Slave Servants of Old Times Doubtful if Legislation Giving Site Will Be Passed The model is just what the colored people of the country expected it would be. As a work of art, it is a monstrosity. However, it shows the conception the Southerners have of the so-called "faithful mammy," and shows just how they like to think of her. The dull mind of the Southerners can comprehend no other pose or likeness of these women who virtually gave their life that these Southerners may live and who today abuse and oppress the children of these "mammies." Since the introduction of the bill in the Senate by the former Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Representative Stedman of North Carolina, thousands of protests have poured into the Senate and House and even into the White House against the passage of such a measure. The bill, as introduced, would give the Jefferson Davis Chapter, No. 1650, United Daughters of the Confederacy of Richmond, Va., permission to erect a monument in Washington on public land, in commemoration of the faithful colored "mammies" of the South. The bill was introduced in the House in January and in the Senate in February. It was one of the last bills the rabid Mississippiian, John Sharp Williams, introduced before resigning from that body. It was reported out by the Library Committee of the Senate, of which committee Senator Williams was a member, and was placed on the calendar but never came up for a vote. In the house the Library Committee never considered the bill in open session and it was never reported out of committee. By virtue of the fact that the 67th Congress passed into history upon its adjournment March 4th, the bill will have to be re-introduced if it is to come before Congress again.

PARENTS LEAGUE TO FIGHT THE REVIVING OF OLD ISSUES According to notices sent out this week by the Parents League, of which Attorney Chas. S. Hill is president, the league will have a special meeting, Monday, April 16th at 8 o'clock p.m., at the New Bethel Baptist Church, 9th and S Sts., N.W. At this special meeting the conduct of a local preacher (whose name was not given) who it is claimed is trying to revive dead issues relating to the public schools and fomenting strife among the people, will be made public. A Tribune reporter was unable to obtain the name of the preacher the league has reference to, but members of the league stated that something of a sensation may be developed. The Parents League became a big factor in the civic life of Washington during the Moen scandal and was instrumental in forcing the then assistant superintendent of schools, Mr. Bruce out of the school system. The league has done much good work since its organization. Mrs. C. M. Tanner was its first president. STUDENTS SEEK MORE RACIAL CONSCIOUSNESS STUDENTS SEEK MORE RACIAL CONSCIOUSNESS Delegates from Various Institutions Gatber Here to Discuss Topic The American Federation of Negro Students, the temporary headquarters being at Lincoln University, is in a two day session this week at Howard University, striking a keynote for racial solidarity.

Race Welcomes Harding's Law and Order Issue Race Welcomes Harding's Law and Order Issue Will Demand Enforcement of 14th and 15th Amendments Also Now that the presidential campaign of 1924 has been started by President Harding and his backers, the next important matter is, what will the issues be? Of course, Mr. Daugherty, the President's chief adviser has already stated that law enforcement is to be one of the paramount issues. Regardless of the other issues that are bound to come up, law enforcement is certain to be the one that the Negroes of this country will be most interested in. Already this issue has provoked much discussion, and before the election of 1924 is over, the attitude of the Negro on law enforcement will be known throughout the breadth of this country. The demand has already gone out for the enforcement of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. So, while President Harding and his administration are planning to spend millions of the people's money to enforce the 18th Amendment, the Negroes are demanding that some attention be also given to the 14th and 15th. This paper joins this crusade for the enforcement of the law; provided, however, that in enforcing the law, the Attorney General will show absolutely no discrimination in regard to race, color or creed, and this paper in this connection calls Mr. Daugherty's attention to the following provisions of the 14th Amendment. ARTICLE XIV. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Apportionment of Representatives in Congress 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of Electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male members of such State, being of twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one The Best Sport Page in the East. Race Stir LUMBER CORP. HOLDS MEN IN ABJECT SLAVERY North Dakota Demans That Florida Abolish Penal Farming MAN WHIPPED TO DEATH NegroesWho Comprise Large Number of Victims are Helpless From a desire to see some of the world beyond the borders of his home county in North Dakota, Martin Tabert (white) was led away from his home in the fall of 1921. His travels came to an abrupt end in Clara, Fla., where he died from whippings with a seven pound leather strap, in the peonage camp of the Putnum Lumber Company. Young Tabert was arrested in Leon County, Fla., by Sheriff J. R. Jones, for stealing a ride on a freight train. He was tried and sentenced to ninety days in jail. Florida has a law permitting the sheriffs to "farm" the prisoners out. The Putnum Lumber Company, holds the contract for the prisoners from Leon County, and State's Attorney Grimson, of Langdon, North Dakota, states that Sheriff Jones had an understanding with the lumber company whereby he received twenty dollars for every able-bodied prisoner sent to it for ninety days. Therefore, Tabert was sent to the Putnum Lumber Company and Sheriff Jones received his twenty dollars. When Young Tabert was arrested, he notified his parents in North Dakota of his predicament and asked for fifty dollars. They sent him seventy-five dollars in care of the Sheriff. Sheriff Jones returned the letter with the money and made the notation that young Tabert had left the county and he did not know where he was. The next information the parents had of their son was a letter from the Putnum Lumber Company stating that Tabert died on February 2, 1922, from pneumonia and was given a Christian burial. The parents mourned their son's death and thought everything was regular until July of last year, when they received a letter from a man who was with young Tabert when he died. This letter told of young Tabert's tragic death. That he was given shoes too small for him to wear and because he complained about them and his feet swelling because of them, he was "horse whipped" with a leather strap that weighed about seven pounds. This occurred more than once and happened the last time on a Saturday night previous to the lad's death on Tuesday. The letter also stated that the boy was not given a Christian burial nor even given clean clothes. And the State's Attorney from North Dakota stated that he could not even find the grave of young Tabert, when he made a thorough investigation of the case in the Putnum Lumber Company's camp near Clara, Fla. The state of North Dakota has passed resolutions in the State Legislature urging the State of Florida to abolish its "leasing system" and the Tabert family has instituted a suit for $50,000 damages against the Putnum Lumber Company, in the United States Courts.

She loved music and always taught music wherever she chanced to live. She had a large class in Portsmouth, Va., and here in Washington. So many became interested in her teaching that she organized a musical school which was recently incorporated and was preparing a large class for graduation. She was an excellent woman whose character was uniformly of the highest order. A good Christian with strong faith in her Maker, entirely devoid of superstition a devoted and faithful wife, a real helpmate, always considerate and hopeful, even tolerant tenderhearted and forgiving. The pall-bearers both active and honorary were from the Board of Deacons and Deaconesses of Metropolitan Baptist Church. The floral tributes were exceedingly beautiful and in great variety. The big membership of the church vied with each other in doing honor to her blessed memory and in consoling her husband, their Pastor. The Rev. Dr. W. A. Taylor. Pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church presided. Mme.

Adams both of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society and varsity men selected for the Atlanta Debate. Mr. H. A. Green was master of ceremonies. The Y. M. C. A. this year has done work surpassing all other work in previous years. Through the leadership of Mr. Edw. Anderson, president and Mr. Wm. B. West, official secretary, the organization has been successful in rendering great good to the young men in need about the university. The student evening and morning jobs such as waiting, portering, and elevator operating, which were of very small benefit to the students have been increased to higher compensation through the Y. M. C. A. Thus it has been made possible for a number of students to remain in school who might have been forced out on account of financial reasons. In another connection the Y. M. C. A. has equipped an up-to-date reading room, with fixtures, newspapers, magazines and other pamphlets; it has equipped an up-to-date recreation LOCALS LOCALS The Howard Players in New Plays The Howard University Players are presenting two new plays and are repeating "The Death Dance" in Baltimore and Washington.

Accompanying this drama will be an example of the Yiddish Theatre in the form of a play by Samuel Pinski entitled "Forgotten Souls." The Yiddish Theatre is playing an important part in dramatic development, both in America and in the old world. This will be the first opportunity for the patrons of the Players to witness the work of the best known of the Yiddish playwrights. Mrs. A.

Of course the success of any organization is dependent chiefly upon itself, but there must be concrete, wholesome and effective backing from the outside. Certain teams have become so prominent in the baseball world that it is never necessary to mention their home cities. The major leaguers, members of the Negro National League and those of the newly formed Eastern Association are examples. And just as Philadelphia and "Hillsdales," Indianapolis and "A. B. C.'s," etc., have become almost synonymous, so it shall be with Washington and "Potomacs." From the very fact that local fans have faithfully supported the Washington American League club, which only once in modern baseball has been able to land a second-place berth, it goes without saying that they will back solidly a Race aggregation able to hold its own with any—Colored or White—in the country. Ben Taylor has not only promised that the "Potomacs" will be a first class outfit, but to substantiate his promise, he has gone out and signed up some of the leading players of the country, men known as stars from coast to coast. Remember, the "Potomacs" are to represent us; first as a step in race advancement, and second, as a boom for this great city. Let us make the "Potomacs" a real institution, by giving them our unselfish support. HARRY WILLS AND THE POWERS THAT BE A Hearst newspaper correspondent under name of Menke recently revealed rather clearly and fearlessly certain operations of William Muldoon, chairman of the New York State Boxing Commission, with Tex Rickard, the well-known boxing promoter. Menke goes back to the period when the chairman owned stock in the Madison Square Garden enterprise and discloses that although these holdings have probably been disposed of, Muldoon has never ceased to aid Rickard. The correspondent cites the many inconsistent edicts of Muldoon as proof of his leaning toward Rickard. Forcing scrapers to work on a percentage basis instead of a guarantee; allowing fighters to be matched at the Garden when contracted to another club; the toleration of gambling at the Garden without disciplinary action; the utter disregard of other rules at the Garden not tolerated at other clubs and the calling off of all matches in New York involving the heavyweight title after Rickard's statement that too much money was demanded by fighters, are some of the evidences given of Muldoon's underground methods. While Menke did not openly bring it out, nevertheless the association of Muldoon and Rickard has had more to do with the discrimination against Colored fighters in New York than anything else. Rickard, a Texan, has never shown any love for Race fighters. He has promoted a number of big fights involving Race pugilists but in practically all instances the Blacks had the laurels which Rickard hoped to extract with his white-hopes. It is not difficult to see why Muldoon, in a non-salary job, should line-up with Rickard the biggest promoter in the state and favor the Garden and other undertakings under his management. The doings of this czar of New York pugilism is expected to be curtailed at any time by the appointment of a new commission. And such a change can't come too soon. A local tennis enthusiast, Mr. R. T. Williams, sends in a very interesting article on "The Game of Tennis." Mr. Williams states in part that "Quite a few Colored people about the country are playing tennis. Fifty times that number ought to be and should be playing tennis if they only knew the great advantages of this fine sport." Mr. Williams appeals to members of the Race to play tennis is timely and essential. The game is of such a nature that men and women of all ages can enjoy it. There is no better diversion for the parent or more popular pastime for the youngsters. As he says, "As a matter of general health and bodily vigor, muscular strength and endurance, self reliance, activity and precision, no game quite equals tennis." PAGE FOUR By H. Scott POPULARIZE THE POTOMACS Washington's new professional basis is the duty of every Washingtonian as "Potomacs" as popular as any aggy course the success of any organization itself, but there must be concrete, long from the outside. We have become so prominent in the area necessary to mention their host, members of the Negro National League, armed Eastern Association are examiners and "Hillsdales," Indianapolis are almost synonymous, so it shall Potomacs." Any fact that local fans have faithful American League club, which only a few able to land a second-place berth, will back solidly a Race aggregation—Colored or White—in the county promised that the "Potomacs" will substantiate his promise, he has gone leading players of the country, men coast.

There is no or more popular pastime for the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923 Last Show Begins at 9:30 P.M. Manager Taylor and nine warriors arrived in Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesday to begi training for the coming campaign. Included in the group of hired men that are camping in the Virginia capital are pitchers, Ross, Carr, Williams and Albritton; catchers, Eggleston and Lewis; infielder, Ridgeley; and outfielders, Brown, Woods and Manager Taylor. Another dozen players will be drifting into camp within the next week. Practically all of these men are from distant localities and are on their way. In this latter group are "Spes" Clark, shortstop, enroute from Porto Rico; Goodrich, third baseman, from Texas; pitcher Campbell, from Boston; Jefferson and Wycks, outfielders, from Pennsylvania; and two men from Georgia. Manager Taylor made a special trip to New York Monday to land Elias Brown, the hard-hitting gardener of the defunct New York Bacharachs. Brown has played the sun garden for the Bacharachs since 1919, and is regarded as a finished player in every particular. The fact that he batted in the clean-up position all last season touches for his hitting ability. Wycks, another outfielder, has performed around Pennsylvania most of his career. He has had some professional experience and comes recommended as possessing abundance of speed and hitting power. Wycks is a player of the Charleston type. Goodrich hails from Dallas, Texas where he has acquired the reputation of being one of the best hot corner players in the southland. He has been so widely acclaimed that Manager Taylor expects him to fill this position during the season with dignity. Albritton, the only other player in the advance party who has not been announced, comes from upper New York state. Although not well known in professional ranks, Albritton comes highly touted and is regarded as a certain find. The three Bowen brothers are due in the Richmond camp today. These brothers are expected to make a name such as was made by the famous Taylor brothers. The two Georgians whose names have not been announced are well known players in the Cracker state. One is a southpaw and the other an infielder. Both of these men stand good chances of being retained. The Potomacs will remain in Richmond for nearly a month. For the first week only a limbering-up process will be in order, but real training will begin thereafter. Manager Taylor has expressed high hopes over the men acquired, and has already openly claimed his aggregation will rival any in the country. Twilight League to Meet The regular meeting of the Twilight League will be held Monday night at The Tribune office. Final plans for the season's opening will be mapped out at this meeting. GLADIATORS TO PLAY ATHENIANS The Gladiators are scheduled to meet the Athenians in Baltimore on April 10th. Annual Review of Basketball Season By H. Scott The success of basketball here the past season can be attributed in no small measure to the large number of high class teams and the host of star performers that make up these quints. From the fact that the District Basketball League's season came to a close with two teams tied for leadership and with one high-grade combination out of the circuit, no further proof is needed to verify the almost balanced strength of three or more city fives. The ability of the players can also be appreciated when the showings made by these teams against outsiders is taken into consideration. Many brilliant performers sparkled during the season. Wheatland (Lightning) was in a class by himself at the pivotal position. He flashed as a wonderful player in every department. The rest of the field might be bunched with W. Davis (Y) having a slight edge over Arnold (Alco), Carter (Delta), Frazier (Gladiators) The outstanding forwards of the season were Ed. Davis (Gladiators) the most improved player of the year; Carroll (Alco) league's leading scorer; Slade (St. Cyprians) in a class by himself from the foul line; Richardson (Delta) and Kenner (Alco) star floor men; Benny Hill (Gladiators), brilliant as ever; Taylor (Carlisle) dangerous at all times; Dash (Lightning) aged but agile; A. Jones (Y) promising; the high schoolers Turner, Coates, Elliss and Middleton; and a number of other lesser lights, Lowry (Lightning), Everet Davis (Gladiator), Blackwell (Carlisle), Neale (Alco), Cozzens (Y) and Robinson (Carlisle). Selecting the best guards is quite a man-size task: Clarkson (Lightning), Davis (Delta), Graves (Alco), Nurse (Delta), Hammond (Y), Mayo (Gladiators) stood out in the backfield by a fair margin over Wright (Lifftnning), Morris (Alco), Pinkney (Carlisle). Anderson, Levi and Blue (Armstrong) and Campbell (Dunbar) were exceptional guards. The Y. W. C. A. All-Stars fully justified their name with Miss Winston, recognized in the East and West as one of the best of the country's fairer sex players, Miss Gant. another headliner and Misses Stewart, Joyce, Duffey, and Minor, all of high rank; it would not be at all surprising if the locals should conquer the famed New York Blue Belts at the Colonnade April 12th.

Departmental League Holds Initial Meeting The colored Departmental League met on Thursday, elected officers and appointed several important committees. Seven teams were represented, six of last year and one new. The old teams are as follows: Navy Yard, Bureau of Engraving, Treasury, Museum, Gov. Printing Office, and General Accounting Office. The Register's office is the new member. One more franchise is to be granted teams of any Government department are eligible. A full roster of officers, managers and captains will be published as soon as the remaining franchise is disposed of. The officers hope to make this the banner year of the league, and to that end we will be glad to receive suggestions. The league's next meeting will be held within the next few days when the deposit will be made on each franchise. White Socks Desire Games By C. A. Richardson On Easter Sunday at 1 p.m. the Maryland White Sox were on the diamond "rarin' to go." However, they could find nothing to "rare" with, for the Potomac Giants failed to put in an appearance. Of course it was awfully cold in Washington and we do not criticise the Potomac Giants for not showing up but we hated to disappoint our friends and patrons. However, the afternoon was well spent by the White Sox in warming up into mid-season trim. Pop Robertson, last season's star behind the bat, did his customary good work. But Johnson and Richardsen shot the pill down to the "Keystone" sack in such style and speed that the cold afternoon grew warmer from the effects thereof. The person that got the biggest surprise was the gentlemen manager of the Potomac Giants who watched the White Sox do their stuff and returned to Washington in a frame of mind which will produce many drops of sweat upon the shoulders of the Potomac Giants. Burley, who graced a White Sox uniform for the first time, showed up exceptionally well in short, and the White Sox patron-friends lok for great things from him in the future. If the weather permits the Sox will either cross bats with the Potomac Giants or the LeDroit Tigers on next Sunday. Definite announcement of the game will come out later in this paper. Any club wishing to challenge the White Sox, write James Robinson, Brentwood, Maryland, Manager. LeDroit Tigers Practice All regular players and candidates desiring try outs, on the LeDroit Tiger's team are requested to report to Captain Burrell Kenner, Sunday morning at 10:30 at the Playgrounds at the corner of 4th & W Sts., N.W. Williams, Doneghy and Walker Get Circuit Drives in Easter Monday Game (By J. L. Whitehead) Lawrenceville, Va.—In each school's first game of the 1923 baseball season, St. Paul fell prey to Howard University's nine on Easter Monday by the score of 9 to 12, not because they were outplayed, but on account of costly errors. Fifteen hundred diamond enthusiasts witnessed the game which was clean, hard and sportsmanlike, although a long-drawn out affair. The brilliant pitching of Williams, together with his home run, were among the features of the St. Paul side of the tilt. Collins played a fine game, his catching being superb and his throwing accurate and timely. Maddux and Wilkerson played a harmonious game for the orange and black outfit. Doneghy, the Bison grid star of 1922 fame, who played an errorless and stern game at center field, found the sphere for a homer. Walker, who also played stellar ball at right field, banged the old cork center for four bases. Clark's excellent pitching and Higgin's catching were among the interesting, sensational and commendable acts of the fast Howard machine. Second Game Before one thousand wild baseball fans St. Paul's premier varsity team took sweet revenge on Tuesday afternoon by humbling the sturdy National Capital boys to the score of 5 to 2 The visitors found it utterly impossible to fathom the delivery of "Lad" Wallace. And at times it appeared as though the Bisons were far outclassed, but when the locals threatened to pile up a big score, fate intervened in their behalf. Never in the history of athletics have the Tigers displayed such a varied style in baseball, backed up by heavy hitting and superior pitching and team work. Both teams played a masterful game, and exhibited magnificent knowledge and technique of baseball; but St. Paul's airtight methods excelled those of Howard. Wallace subdued the previous day sluggers just as often as they faced him. His tossing was marvelous; he used mature judgment on the mound, and handled the old ash stick to perfection during his times at the bat. Blackwell, Wharton, Madden, Harris, and Bruce lammed the old pill to wonderful advantage, while the other St. Paul youngsters played in spectacular form. The fielding of Long and Johnson and Higgin's duplication of his previous day's doings, together with his 500 batting average, featured the second day's work of the Howard camp.

LANGFORD WINS Sam Langford, the oldest fighter in the game has won the heavyweight championship of Mexico by defeating Kid Savage (white) in the first round, Saturday afternoon, The fight only lasted one’ minute and a quarter, when Langford swung a terrific right uppercut to his oppo- nent’s jaw; then it was all over. The spectators gave the victor a great ovation, carrying him about the ring on their shouldérs. ‘The pro- moters are now talking of Sam with Balzacs, the champion of Spain, in the near future. _ In an interview, Langford said he had no knowledge of any eng. sement by Tex Rickard to engage him to train Firpo, also says he will remain in Mexico as he thinks it is a great place.

A gold star play with an all star cast headed by Mae Marsh the little Sarah Bernheardt of the screen who holds your heart in the palm of her small hands! She makes you laugh and cry, tingle with delight, pulse in anger, chill with fear, throb with joy. Often the thing that touches you the deepest is the thing you can say the least about. “Till We Meet Again,” reaches to the innermost re- cesses of your emotions—it’s a real heart twister—yet you cannot convey an idea of its magnitude by giving, in a few words the type of story. No words can give an impression of the interest of its gripping plot. We are not under-estimating pre- vious attraction at the Broadway or over estimating this play, but it will make as big a hit with you as the photoplay you've liked best this year. Save yourself after-regrets by see- ing “Till We Meet Again.” PAGE SIX NEGRO TOWN WITHOUT A JAIL Mound Bayou, Mississippi, has not had a jail for the past twenty-five years.

Adams WHITE AND DETT THRILL HAMPTON AUDIENCE A large, representative, and enthusiastic audience of white and colored citizens attended the concert of the Hampton Institute Glee Club, which was recently given in the Academy of Music at Newport News, Va., under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett, well-known Negro composer-pianist, who was assisted by three of his pupils—Burke M. Mathis of Boley, Okla., tenor; Aubrey W. Pankey of Pittsburgh, baritone; and Gerald B. Wilson of Salem, Va., pianist. The thirty members of the glee club and the assisting artists did yeoman missionary service in making white and colored men and women realize the fact that Negroes can master the intricacies of difficult musical compositions and can present a wide-range program with artist finish and extraordinary self-control. The Hampton Institute Glee Club program, included religious classies, American Negro folk songs and their derivatives, and modern compositions, including the work of such Negro composers as Coleridge-Tayor and John W. Work of Fisk University. The program included: Religious Classics: Sanctus (Schubert), From Thy Throne (Gluck), and Beside the Manager (Ancient Carol); Negro Folk songs: Tis Me, Let us Cheer the Weary Traveler, Balm in Gilead, and Daniel Saw the Stone; Negro Folksong Derivative: Babylon's Falling (Dett); Modern Compositions: Bedouin Song (Foote), Silver Lanterns of the Night (Redding), With You, Dear (Scott), Her Rose (Combs), Drake's Drum (Coleridge-Taylor), Old King Cole (Forsythe), Viking Song (Coleridge-Taylor), Lullaby (Work), and On, Hampton (anonymous). R. Nathaniel Dett played several of his own compositions, including the Barcarolle and Juba Dance from "In the Bottoms" suite; Song of the Shrine and Dance of Desire from "Enchantment" suite; and two encores, Mammy (from "Magnolia" suite) and Honey (from "In the Bottoms" suite). He also played several accompaniments: Cast Thun Believe (Giordani), sung by Burke M. Mathis; Zion Hallelujah (Dett), Poor Me (Dett), and Dinah Kneading Dough (Dett), sung by Aubrey W. Pankey. Gerald B. Wilson played the Gavotte in B minor (Bach) and an encore, Arabesque (Lescheitiszyk). Luther T. Purvis of Gegetown, S. C. recited two of Daly's well-known Italian dialect poems, "Between Two Loves" and "Ive Got her." This was the fifth big concert which the Hampton Institute has given this season. The others were given in the Richmond City Auditorium, at the University of Richmond, at the Virginia Medical College, and in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. At Hampton the assisting artist was Clarence Cameron White of Oberlin, Ohio, well-known Negro composerviolist. Y. W. C. A. Notes The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. campaign has not reached the $10,000 mark, but enthusiastically and with determination, they are working toward that goal. The members who have given volunteer work in this effort to raise funds for the association have the true "Y" spirit of service. Miss Shadd's team and Mrs. Cromwell's team have "gone over the top," having raised more than $600 each, the quota for each team being $500. While Mrs. Boyce's team has more than doubled its quota [with over $1250 to its credit. The secret of this team's success is its leadership and organization. Personally she solicited a large amount, going daily from person to person and nightly coming to the building to make reports with her team. This team had a most representative "Y" group of earnest workers. There were various slogans in the cafeteria during the campaign and the one over the table used by this team was "In to Win," and the measured up their slogan. Most of the contributions of this team were small amounts from many persons, there being only two large donations to them.

APRIL 7. 1923 EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS M (Continued from last week) "EMANCIPATION," GROUP By META V. WARRICK FULLER (Continued) Concededly, the symbolism and allegory in this group are not as palpable as in some of the picture stories in the "comics" of our Sunday papers. There may be persons to whom the conception will not appeal even after it is interpreted to them. In fact, Mrs. Fuller herself collided with one such person. He was one of the participants in the Pageant at the Exposition. Happening to overhear him "explaining" the group to a crowd of persons, she says that she listened with gathering dismay mingled with some amusement until the expositor "Emancipation," group, Warrick ```markdown ``` explained that the weeping female in the group was the young man's "wife," whereupon the sculptress was no longer able to restrain herself. Nevertheless, despite her interposed explanation, of her own group—the expositor insisted he could not see it her way. Yet, even if it is possible to do so, the sculptor should not yield to clamor for more direct and obvious statement, where reserve, symbolism, and idealization are more fitting. Referring to a recent symbolic figure by the eminent sculptor, Daniel C. French, William Walton says: does the group appear. Here we may fittingly reexclamation of Louise Gonsee "Alas! it is not the absence of which makes a masterpiece flame; it is life; it is emotive sincerity; it is the personal a With these three figures, in attitudes, and this twisted truss with its gnarled branches—a modeled or, we may say, barcated—the sculptress endeavors forth, not an episode, but the drama. With boldness, and the ness born of a penetrating m a personal revelation, she set "Simple apparently—though not really so; striving to convey more in a few words, as it were; a single figure motionless instead of a group in action. It is difficult not to think this is the way the higher art proceeds; that it is truly finer to develop the artist's message of longing, or hope, or sorrow, in the heart of the spectator than to spell it out, palpably and objectively, before his eyes in pigments or in stone. This would seem to be peculiarly the inspiration which should animate the sculptor. . . . It is not a form of art for the dull of eye or the slow of comprehension, but it is so much the better; there is no surer way to degrade art than to work downward to the level of the meanest comprehension." (Scribner's Magazine, Nov., 1912.) And Emerson admonishes the artist thus: "Quit the hut, frequent the palace, Reck not what the people say; For still, where'er the trees grow biggest, Huntsmen find the easiest way." Notwithstanding the symbolism and allegory in this group, there is a certain obviousness as to some of the features. Thus we note: that the figures representing the Emancipated are of a mixed race; that they are youths; that one is a male, and one a female; that both are scantily covered; that both are empty-handed and that one is almost oppressively con- --- scious of his lack, yet both look forward and upward with faces illumined by faith; that one definitely advances, but the other seems to ask, as it were, "And must I—thus?" We observe that "Humanity" half pushes, half detains them, while she hides her face in grief or shame or both; and so on. Still, we may well believe that to the "dull of eye and slow of comprehension" none of these features will appeal with much of meaning or power. Paraphrasing Walton—simple apparently, but not really so; three figures almost motionless, instead of a group in action. We do not ask merely, what are they doing? we are impelled to seek the deeper meaning and purpose. And the more there develops of the artist's message of longing, of hope, of sorrow, introspectively—"in the heart"—the finer (front view), by Meta Vaux. Fuller does the group appear. Here we may fittingly repeat the exclamation of Louise Gonse: "Alas! it is not the absence of faults which makes a masterpiece. It is flame; it is life; it is emotion; it is sincerity; it is the personal accent." With these three figures, in as many attitudes, and this twisted tree-trunk with its gnarled branches—all freely modeled or, we may say, barely indicated—the sculptress endeavors to set forth, not an episode, but the whole drama. With boldness, and the sureness born of a penetrating mind and a personal revelation, she sets out to reach our fundamental intelligences and our inward sympathies, leaning lightly, if at all, on the obtrusively obvious or on the purportedly adventitious. The portrayal is emptied of the usual accessories as well as of the frequent claptrap—no broken shackles, no obvicus parchments, no discarded whips, no crouching slave with uncertain face; not, not even a kindly, benignant Liberator appears: in short, she essays to set forth and to represent, not a person, not a recipient—not the Emancipator nor one of the Emancipated—not even the Emancipation itself, as a mere formal act, but far higher, The Emancipation as an embracing theme. Has she succeeded? Some will wag their heads and murmur ruefully: "There is yet more to be said." Perhaps it is so. It remains to be seen whether or not, in comprehensiveness, in profundity, and in art-power, Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller will, in the rendition of this far-reaching theme, yet surpass herself or any other will equal her. In what has been stated, I have tried to indicate some of the thoughts and the emotions which well within while one sincerely and sympathetically studies this group. But highlyidealized and symbolical works of this character are beyond the range of explanation, in the ordinary sense, and there are no complete interpretations of them which can be set down ex- A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO AFRICAN LIFE By Mr. Wm. Anthony Aery C. Kamba Simango, a native of Portuguese East Africa and a graduate of Hampton Institute, class of 1919, who has just completed a special course at Teachers' College, Columbia University, spoke recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on African forms of government, police systems, education, and physical training. "Africans," he said, "in spite of the lack of highly organized police systems, succeed in apprehending wrong-doers. They follow the customs and laws which are useful to their tribes, but they do not carry their rules beyond their tribes to so-called 'aliens.'" His wife, who is a native of Freetown, Sierra Leone, and who is a graduate of the Royal College of Arts at South Kensington, England, described the affection of African mothers for their children, especially for those children that are offered in human sacrifice for the sake of bringing peace to whole tribes, and likened this affection to that expressed by other mothers who send their sons to fight in modern warfare. She referred to the hardship which is brought on African women through the government conscription of abebodied men for forced labor. "There are today," she said, "226 different languages and over 900 dialects spoken in Africa." At another Hampton Institute meeting Kamba Simango gave, in appropriate African costume, vivid pantomimic presentations of an elephant hunt, a witch doctor's incantations, and a leopard-killing. His wife described several phases of African life, gave an African dance with piano music (originally written by Coleridge-Taylor and later arranged by Helen Hagen) which was played by R. Nathaniel Dett, and displayed specimens of native African work in brass, textiles, and basketry, which had been made by men and women who had not come in contact with outside civilizing influences. She said: "The Africans need help in order to develop themselves, but they also have important contributions which they can make to the rest of the world especially in the fields of art and music. "Those who go to Africa must have big, generous hearts. The natives are keen at detecting all insincerity or failure to make works and deeds consistent. The African native judges individuals. He does not put many persons in a single group because of the failure or even meanness of a single individual. Africans are carefully watching American Negroes to see what they will do to help Africa." These two well educated Africans will leave the United States in April to take up their work of missionary teaching in the Mt. Silinda School, at Melsetter in Southern 'Rhodesia, where they will help the native people realize some of their worthwhile gifts. Africans Make Progress That the missionaries who have gone to Africa have given the natives the best that they possessed of religion and civilization and that these missionaries continue their work of bringing out the best traits of the natives were opinions expressed by Kamba Simango before a large audience of white and colored people, assembled at Hampton Institute. He said: "We find that the African is also striving and reaching out to get those things which will develop his happiness and welfare. "In 1920, I understand, the Government of Southern Rhodesia started two industrial schools. They have tried to interest missionaries to develop industrial education to such an extent that the natives will use the material they have for commercial purposes. This is the time that we need the educated Negro to point out the way. The Government of Rhodesia is extending liberty in education. Africa is looking for intelligent Negroes to do educational work in Africa." plicitly by the pen or expressed by the tongue. We see; we feel; we are impressed; we are edified: we are filled with enthusiasm; our glad souls overflow. We exclaim: "Here is Art at its highest, and therefore, at its best." And Art's higher message, after all, is not for the pen nor for the tongue; but for the sight, the sense, the soul. "It is a truth which we can feel and see, But is as boundless as Eternity." —Lowell. THE POETS' CORNER This department is devoted to newspaper poetry.

Mary and Magdalene came all the way To kneel at his feet and there weep and pray. Soon He died and in a sepulchre was laid They followed Him there—all the while still they prayed. II When the third day did dawn 'Twas a beautiful morn, Mary and Magdalene returned to pray. But what they did find An Angel said unto the two. An Angel said unto the two, "Over there thy Lord thou shalt see. Do you remember that He told thee When the third morn should dawn The stone would surely be gone And He would rise to live eternally?" IV Mary and Magdalene departed with fear, To the disciples they went to carry good cheer— But behold on their way Jesus Christ they did meet— They cried at the sight of His hands head and feet. Christ to the disciples His instructions gave, How in this world sinners could repent and be saved. If only they trusted and in Him believed— Of their diseases and afflictions they would be relieved. So forth they went as Jesus had said, And they healed the people and raised the dead. MARIA AND ROSA By Erma Barbour, Age 12 Once there were two little girls, the name of one was Maria and of the other Rosa. Maria was the older of the two and was very selfish and ugly but Rosa was just the opposite. She was kind hearted, unselfish and pretty. Her mother was selfish and ugly too, so of course she did not like little Rosa. One day in the coldest of winter Rosa was sent out to get some food at the store. She had on a very thin dress and coat, thin slippers and no hat. On her way she met a little girl crying, Rosa asked her why she was crying. The girl told her that she had been without food and shelter for two days. Rosa told the girl to follow her to the store and she would give her something to eat (forgetting that her mother would scold her if she did). The girl ate as if it was the first time in years, then suddenly she began to grow and grow until she became a woman. She said. "I have heard so much about your kindness that I wanted to test it. You are a good girl and I am going to give you three gifts, they are: every time you talk or sing you will have a diamond, a rose, and a gold piece. The next is that you will become rich, and third you shall become a queen. Rosa thanked the fairy—for such was the woman—and out fell a diamond, a rose, and a gold piece for every word she spoke. She ran home and told her mother. Her mother made Maria go to the store, though Maria did not want to go. She met an old lady who said to PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" Corner LESLIE FRAZIER From Detroit, Michigan, comes the complaint that too much money is spent in the movies. Perhaps so—but the local movie managers, whom I know, complain that business is dull. We admit that Miss Smith has a good text. Wanted—Billionaires By (Miss) J. P. Smith "Almost a billion," statisticians say, Is frittered each year in "movies" away. "Almost a billion!" and you and I know How many folks just "must go to the show." Yet, let us pause for a minute or two, While we think of the good that our dimes would do If they could be saved; not idly spent For something that gives no lasting content. Would the Anti-Lynch bill be up in the air If we could boast a big billionaire? Not one—but a good round dozen or more, Just to keep things healthy from shore to shore. "Almost a billion!" O men of the race, Let us for once look facts in the face: Let us say to this Nation that lynching must go. If it takes all the money now spent in the "show." ANSWER THESE. What has been your greatest evil? What has been your greatest kindness? What has been your greatest passion Fanned to flame by evil's blindness? What has been your greatest thought— One of love and ease and life; One of fame and toil and honor; One of Christian love or strife? What has been your greatest love— Love for father and for mother; Love for emptiness of pleasure; Love for helping of a brother? What has been your greatest hate— Hate for violence and hatred; Hate for evil thoughts and words; Hate for those who hate the sacred? What has been your greatest fear Fear of Christ and fear of death; Fear of pestilence and worries; Fear of inhaling Satan's breath? Monoped her, "Little girl. please give me something to eat." Maria said, "I will not. I just give to little girls. I don't give to old people." Then the old lady said, "You are a rude little girl, so for your rudeness I will give you two gifts. They are, every time you talk or sing a frog, a lizard, and a rat shall come out of your mouth and you shall marry a beggar." "I don't believe you," said the girl; and for every word a frog, a lizard and a rat jumped out of her mouth. She ran home crying to her mother. Her mother was so angry with her that Rosa ran away into the woods. She kept going until she was tired and sleepy. Then she sat down and fell asleep. When she awoke she found herself in the King's palace, with maids to wait on her. When she was dressed in royal clothes she went before the king and prince. She told her story. At the first sight the prince fell in love with her and after a few days they were married. They lived happily together. Maria ran away too, but instead of marrying a king or prince she married a beggar.

Its assets are well distributed—Cash $76,444.55; real estate owned $378,516.71; mortgages $94,759.60; stocks and bonds $32,553.00; this is less in stocks and bonds and an increase in mortgages and real estate owned, which is commendable.

Both the state of North Dakota and Florida are aroused over this case. Young Tabert was a white man, and if he received such treatment at the hands of his fellow citizens in Florida, at the behest of the big lumber corporation, imagine the fate of hundreds of colored men in the camps of this same company. As there are hundreds of such lumber companies over the South, how many men have met their death at the hands of such brutes as T. M. Higginbottom?
