MOB BALKS INVESTIGATORS IN SEARCH FOR TABERT'S GRAVE Legislative Commission Gets Real Test of Actual Conditions Tallahassee, Florida, April, 26—The investigation resulting from the death of Martin Tabert, the youth from North Dakota, in the lumber camp of Florida, is bringing out much direlection on the part of local officials of Leon County. Wednesday, an armed mob, including a sheriff and his deputy, balked the search by two members of the Legislature, to locate the unmarked grave of Tabert. Thirty armed white men surrounded Representatives John C. Smith and C. H. Kennerly, who had brought Arthur Johnson, the camp cook of the Putnum Lumber Company at the time of Tabert's death, to the alleged burial place of Tabert and dared Johnson to point out the spot where Tabert was supposed to be buried. I consider this a damnable outrage," shouted Representative Kennedy. "I shall report it to the Governor as soon as we get back and I shall see that it is published in every newspaper in the United States." "I represent the State of Florida," said Representative Smith, "and nobody else, and I intend to see that this investigation is carried thru to the end." The mob frightened Johnson so that he did not point out the place where Tabert was thrown into a hole of water and covered up. The State Board of Health states that no death certificate for Tabert has been filed with hte Bureau of Vital Statistics. The mob law that Florida has encouraged was turned upon two of the State Legislators in the discharge of their official duty. The worm has turned and Florida is getting some very unfavorable publicity. It is thought that the Legislature will revoke the convict lease system.

The Washington Tribune Daily Voices nant Levi A Marathon D SOUTH IGNORES O STITUTIONAL A AND NORTH DICES Devi A mon D NORES O NATIONAL A NORTH The fight started by The Trbione for law enforcement has had an echo in one of the largest dailies in New York City, The New York Pictorial News. The Tribune started its fight immediately after Attorney General Daugherty announced President Harding would be candidate for re-nomination and that law and order would be one of the paramount issues. The Tribune immediately took the position that if law and order were to be among the paramount issues in the next presidential campaign that President Harding start now to enforcing all laws and thereby prove to the American people that he will also carry them out in his next term should he be given it. The editorial in the New York Pictorial News was such a glowing substantiation of The Tribune's stand that it is herewith reproduced: "THE CONSTITUTION EAST AND SOUTH" "It is reported that the use of the submarine chasers of the navy to capture or disperse rum runners off the Eastern coast is recommended by Administration officials and being considered by President Harding. "The Government might stop most of the liquor smuggling if it gave the job to the navy. It might stop some of the moonshining if it gave the job to the army. It is easy to enforce prohibition in Kansas because the majority of the people want prohibition. It is not easy to enforce it in New York because a majority of the people do not want it. In some States it represents the consent of the people, and in some States it does not. It requires powerful force to impose a law when it does not represent the will of the people. The army and navy are the President of Association Scott's Teleg at of N. ion Anse Telegra President of N. C. Pine Association Answers Dr. Scott's Telegram to Gary The telegram sent Judge E. H Gary, chairman of the U. S. Steel Corporation, by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, regarding the use of colored labor from the South, proved a real bomb to the South. Telegrams, letters and newspaper articles have been pouring in on Dr. Scott, some favorable and some otherwise. A letter from John M. Gibbs, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Pine Association, with headquarters in Norfolk, Va., objecting to Dr. Scott's statement that the colored people of the South are in position to supply any labor shortage in the large industrial plants of the North was received recently. Dr. Scott in his reply to Mr. Gibbs' letter, describes conditions in the South in the following language: Four Big SUN Merry-Go-L All Rides Our Big Ride SUB y-Go-Roo Rides 1 most powerful forces of the country. "Eastern Democrats are mainly wet. Southern Democrats are dry. The Eastern Democrats want to dispose of one constitutional amendment. The Southern Democrats have disposed of two. The principle has been accepted that States shall handle Negro suffrage as they want to; regardless of the Constitution. That goes by general tolerance, but it could cease. "If the navy can be used to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment the army can be used to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. A force bill could put the whole power of the United States behind the constitutional right of citizens to vote. "There is some uncertainty and embarrassment in the prohibition North regarding the nullification indulged in by the prohibition South. It is not a good record for prohibition. The Northern prohibitionists are not so certain that the Constitution can be maintained to be a binding law if notoriously it isn't. If Kansas tells New York it must not nullify one amendment it seems morally mandatory that it should tell Georgia it must not nullify two. "New York and Georgia are frequently in the same political party, and sometimes when they are the President and Congress are Democratic. They may agree that it would be good if each State determined for itself what constituted compliance with the Eighteenth Amendment as well as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. That would not make the South wet. It would not give the South Negro rule and Negro representatoin in Congress. It would not give gin to Southern Negroes, and it might give beer and light wines to New Yorkers." —New York Pictorial News. N. C. Pine Answers Dr. Gram to Gary "I approach the study of Negro migration, withthe very definite feeling that the South owes the Colored people a square deal than it has been giving them. The horrible stories of peonage, the lynching crime, the lack of educational opportunities, the residential and labor segregation laws, the Jim Crow car system, the destruction of political privileges and the curtailment of civil rights, are all matters which stimulate the migration of Colored people from the South. "I must not fail to emphasize the fact that the Negro is no longer willing to accept the intolerable conditions to which I have referred and a lowered wage at one and the same time. It is a matter of common knowledge that the vagrancy laws of the South are used to intimidate Negro laborers Rides BURBA Round WASHINGTON, D. C.

Dances 50 Hours and 5 Minutes BOY SCOUTS HAVE HOPES OF SUMMER CAMP District Citizens Are Asked to Assist Them in Obtaining Needed Facilities Last Sunday, April 22nd, the Boy Scouts of the District of Columbia started their drive for the summer camp to be located on Chesapeake Bay. Several of the larger churches in Georgetown and vicinity were visited with much success. Nearly thirty-five scouts responded to the call together with many scout officials. This drive is being conducted to raise a $1,000 budget in defraying expenses for the camp. The boys have an opportunity this year to enjoy fishing, boating, bathing and all water sports if the citizens of the District will respond in large numbers to this appeal of the scout leaders. Personal subscriptions from $1.00 and up are asked and will be acknowledged through the columns of this paper. They should be sent to the office of the Assistant Deputy Scout Commissioner, S. Z. C.

Those who have participated in the contest have possibly given the greatest exhibition of human endurance ever recorded. There were no excessive rest periods in this contest as have been the usual custom in similar contests. The contestants have actually danced continuously without sleep, for three days. Promptly on the stroke of one o'clock Tuesday night, twelve couples, all bent on shattering previous records, began gliding lightly over the mirror-like dance boards to the jazz of Elmer Snowden's band. Later two other bands and two photographs were used. The 48-hour contest attracted wide attention and during the length of the dance race, several hundred gathered daily and nightly to boost their several favorites. Every facility for the comfort of the contestants was afforded by the management. Drs. George Adams and Charles B. Fisher were the physicians in charge and both worked unceasingly in efforts to keep the contestants conditioned. Rest periods of five minutes were granted hourly, at which time, electric massages and foot-baths were given by the corps of attendants. After the 36th hour was passed the roll-call disclosed the absence of many foot-battlers, who, early in the spurt, had been acclaimed, likely winners. Clarence Streets, a favorite for many hours, fell out after having danced continuously for forty-two hours. The event was conducted by G. Frank Jones, well-known in amusement circles. A. J.

PRICE 5 CENTS orcement Virginia ray Casino Marriage of One Month Ended After 3 Year Divorce Fight Mrs. Hallie Queen Anderson Must Pay for Husband's Divorce Levi Thurman Anderson, a lieutenant in the army during the late World War, was granted a decree of absolute divorce from his wife, Mrs. Hallie Queen Anderson, a teacher in Dunbar High School, in the Farquier County Circuit Court, at Warrenton, Va., April 7th on the grounds of wilful desertion and abandonment. Mrs. Anderson filed suit about a year ago, alleging cruelty, non-support and lack of marriage relations. Mr. Anderson in his cross-bill and answer, characterized these charges as a libelous contradiction invented by his wife after their separation, which he alleges, was precipitated when he accidentally discovered a perfidious correspondence being carried on between Mrs. Anderson and a former admirer and which she seemed unwilling or unable to explain. Mr. Anderson alleged that they mutually felt at the time of their separation that a condition existed just the reverse of her allegations, relative to the martial relations and that she underwent subsequently, was due to no harsh treatment or fault of his; that he provided properly and according to pre-marriage understanding, Mrs. Anderson continuing to teach of her own desire. The costs of the suit were charged against Mrs. Anderson. It is recalled that this case was fought out in the District courts about three years ago. Mr. Anderson at that time being granted a limited divorce. The case attracted a great deal of interest owing to the standing of the parties involved and the fact that what was expected to be a most successful marriage terminated so abruptly. Mrs. Anderson, who was Miss Queen before marriage, is well known in local educational circles and is now taking a course in Standford University, California. Mr. Anderson served as an officer with the over seas forces during the war, after his graduation from the Fort Des Moines, Iowa, Officers' Training Camp. Since the war he has been employed in the local post office. The Andersons were quietly married in Warrenton, Va., in the home of Mrs. Anderson's aunt, Mrs. Jas. S. Durham, shortly after Mr. Anderson's return from over seas. When the case was tried in the District court, Attorney Armond W. Scott, represented Lieutenant Anderson, and Attorney Jas. A.

Edmonds, of the senior class, and a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Mr. Edmonds underwent a minor operation at Freedmen's Hospital sometime ago from which it is thought that he contracted Blood Poison affecting immediately his heart. He was returned to the hospital where he afterwards contracted pneumonia dying from congestion of the lungs.

BOARD TO MAKE CHANGES AT LOCAL BRANCH At the joint meeting of the Board of the Y. M. C. A. and the Committee of Management of the 12th Street Branch Y, Monday night, it was agreed not to close the 12th Street Branch on May first but gave the 12th Street Committee until May 14th, to bring in definite plans for funding the debt of $5,300 and assurance of their raising at least $8,000 to repair the building. This meeting was called as the result of the passing of a resolution by the white Board of Managers of the Y. M. C. A. corporation of the District, in whose name all of the property of the various Y. M. C. A.'s is deeded. The resolution stated that "notice be sent to the membership of the 12th Street Branch * * * that on and after May 1st, the program of the Branch will be discontinued and that the members be informed that provided that the indebtedness of the Branch at the date of closing shall have been lifted by funds raised by the membership of the Branch, it is the purpose of the Board of Managers of the corporation to provide another building in a more suitable location and better adapted to the work of the Branch, provided further that after conference with Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Rockefeller, or their representatives, these gentlemen consent to the use of the money which they have contributed to the 12th Street Branch for the relocation and the building of a new building for said purposes." In the discussion of the resolution at the meeting Monday night it was brought out that there is not a single colored man on the Board of Managers of the Y corporation; that their resolution was passed without consulting the Committee of Management of the 12th Street Branch. They knew nothing of the action until it was taken. The Committee of Management of which Dr. C. H. Marshall is chairman, promised the five members representing the Board of Managers that they would work out a plan to raise the money to liquidate the debt of $5,300 which has been running for some time and that they would devise a plan to raise the money necessary to place the building in a habitable condition and continue the work at the present location. A new secretary is to be elected to take the place recently vacated by Mr. Wm. Stevenson, who resigned to accept a position with a life insurance company in the District of Columbia. Representation was asked on the Board of Managers by a member of the 12th Street Branch, which met with favorable comment by the president of the Board, Mr. Thrift.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor of Tribune: In the issue of your paper dated April 14, 1923, you published an article on the recent Exparte Ecclesiastical Council, which was held at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Wednesday April 11, 1923. The title, "Council Upholds Dismissal of George Parker" is calculated to mislead the public as to the merits and decision in my complaint against Reverend James L. Pinn and the First Baptist Church, and is not only unfair to me but casts an unwarranted and unjustifiable insinuation at the most prominent and respected Baptist ministers and laymen of this city. The council, composed of thirty-seven churches, represented by their pastors and laymen, was practically unanimous in its finding against the First Baptist Church. Touching upon the matter of my expulsions from the First Baptist Church of which you wrote, I am consoled by this fact, that each expulsion was due to my insisting upon right, and, inasmuch as the Council upheld my contention in the one case, I feel satisfied that it would have likewise done so in the other cases. There is glory and honor in suffering for righteousness' sake. I stated that "in view of the fact that Rev. Pinn had, behind closed doors at the Ministers' Conference on Monday morning last, presented his case and tried to prejudice mine in my absence, and inasmuch as he is present, I think he should now present his own case and therefore I object to a representative who is not a member of the First Baptist Church. (This objection is in strict keeping with Baptist polity. The Council found that the church acted hastily in its action and recommended that I make application for reinstatement, without asking pardon and if refused, then I am at liberty to join any other Baptist Church.

PRINTING CO. 918-20-22 U STREET, N.W. White Man Runs Wild On Saturday, two weeks ago an unknown white man accosted several colored girls and proceeded to make immoral propositions to them. His conduct was resented by several Negro youths. He left the vicinity and returned later in a truck and was in possession of a shot gun. He approached Courtland Seaton's pool room and threatened to shoot up the place. One of the patrons of the pool room went across the street to a grocery store and asked permission to phone for the police. It is alleged that the proprietor, one Helms, a white man, would not permit his phone to be used. It is alleged that Helms asserted that he would not permit his phone to be used by a colored man to phone for the police to arrest a white man. This allegation was made by John Sanks. The greater portion of Helm's patronage is by Negroes. Later the police arrived, were given the number of the truck, (which bore a District license tag), and claimed they would go in search of the wanton. After the police had gone the white man passed through the vicinity again. It is stated that the white man was first seen coming out of Trigger's oyster shop. Trigger is a white man of questionable character having been arrested on the charge of attempted assault on a young colored girl. He has also been arraigned as a bootleger and several years ago was on trial for an alleged offense committed while he was in the local post office service.

WHY DID THE INTER-FRATERNAL MEET FAIL? Those interested in athletic affairs at Howard were amazed to learn that Director of Physical Education Watson was forced to call off the inter-fraternity track meet scheduled for last Saturday. The refusal of a sufficient number of teams to file entry blanks to guarantee a successful meet was given as the reason for the action. From where we sit, the entire blame can rest on those fraternities who were not interested enough to put it over; with the fear of defeat their only alibi. Apparently there is no other reason. Surely no college man would question the success or popularity of intramural athletics. We are in receipt of a lengthy letter from a Howard student quite prominent in athletics who relates that when the interfraternity meet was suggested, it was discussed by representatives of five fraternities with the majority favoring and successfully refuting the unsound arguments of the minority who doubted its success. The majority pointed to the success of the University Basketball League, the prosperity of intramural athletics at Ohio Sate, Penn State and other colleges. The writer also takes a rap at a "reincarnated student publication" that was not frank enough to out and out oppose the meet, but preferred to stay on the fence. Shortage of space prevents us from publishing this letter this week but we expect to do so in the near future. The entire situation brings us to the questions: Has the Washington social life taken precedence over loyalty to Howard? Do fraternity members crave the gay life, and frown upon the rigid training and the discipline necessary in athletics? Not so in the old days, when winning a letter or carrying the Howard colors on the athletic field stood second to academic work only, and often paralleled it. THE FIGHTING SON OF A FIGHTING FATHER An interesting article is before us taken from the Boston Post, headed, "The Fighting Son of a Fighting Father." The hero of the short story is William Henry Lewis, Jr., student at Harvard and son of "Fighting Bill" Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General under Taft's administration. After paying a sterling tribute to the senior Lewis, who by the way was the only Negro to make the first All-American eleven two seasons (accomplishing this feat in the early nineties) the article forecasts that young Lewis, last fall regular center on the Harvard freshmen team, will win a regular berth on the varsity before the end of his college career and win fame as did his father two decades before. UNION TRIUMPHS OVER ST. PAUL dred St. Paulites and Unionites cheered the opposing teams. Merritt Lawrenceville, Va., April 18—In a fast game, and one that was a thriller from start to finish, Virginia Union University submerged the St. Paul aggregation on Russell Field here today by the score of 2 to 0.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 Last Show Begins at 9:30 P. M. Will Be First Real Test of Team's Strength Richmond, Va.—What promises to be one of the biggest events ever pulled off in this city, if the way the town has been billed means anything, will come off next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 3th, May 1st and 2nd when Ben Taylor and his Washington Potomacs (who have been in these parts almost four weeks getting the kinks worked out of the old joints) and the Richmond Giants, the local team (who have also been working on an adjoining field) will hook up in the first crucial series of the season. The two clubs clashed here last Wednesday, April 18th, and the game resulted in a tie score, 2 to 2. After that game the fans have been asking which is the best team and this will be proven in the big series next week. Wayne Carr, premier slab artist of the Potomacs and "Rats" Henderson, ace of the Richmond staff who pitched against each other in the tie game are expected to be the opposing hurlers again. The fans are already worked up over the prospects of this battle royal and a large crowd is expected to be present. The veteran, William Ross, is more than likely to be Manager Taylor's choice for the first game with Carr, Campbell, Albritton and Lefty Williams in reserve. The veteran Ross is in splendid condition and with a few more hot days, will in all probability, be in mid-season form. Ross stated to Manager Taylor this week that he has discovered a new ball; according to Ross, this new ball is a "hounddog" and is sure to mow the batters down this season. According to on-lookers, from the work that Manager Taylor is carrying his men through every day, and the way they are responding, all of them should reach the heights of stardom before the season is over. Manager Taylor has tried to perfect his men in the art of running, fielding, batting, pitching, running bases, sliding and in fact more things than the average ball player ever dreamed of. Ridgely, Lewis, Washington, Campbell, Goodrich and Albrritten are showing up well among the youngsters in camp and if they continue to hold their own they will more than likely win a berth with the Potomacs. "Specks" Clark, the star shortstop arrived in camp Thursday from Porto Rico and is as fit as the proverbial fiddle. With Clark's presence in the infield, the Potomacs will look like a new team Potomacs Break Camp This Week Richmond, Va.—The Washington Potomacs under the management of Ben Taylor, who have been in Spring training here for over a month, will break camp Thursday. The Potomacs will journey to Petersburg for a couple of games with the fast Petersburg Elks' Giants. The Giants are rated as a fast club and have on their roster Ben Harris of Atlanta, Ga., a former pitcher with the Columbus Buckeyes, in the Western League. On Saturday, Manager Taylor will bring his squad back to Richmond for one day's work-out which is expected to put the team on edge for the series with the Richmond Giants which will be played Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Potomacs are expected to pack and start for home the later part of next week. All the players will be glad when that time comes, not that the people here have not been nice to them, but as one player stated, there is no place like home. The team will finish thir training on some lot in Washington. A large delegation of Richmond fans will journey to Washington to witness the opening of the season on the Potomacs' home lot, May 10th, when they will cross bats with the fast Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, members of the Eastern League. Howard Meets Va. Seminary Here May 5 The Howard baseball team will play Virginia Seminary of Lynchburg on Howard campus on May 5. The Virginians captured the first game between these teams and boasts of a strong aggregation. The locals are showing wonderful improvement since their disastrous invasion of Virginia. MOREHOUSE CAPTURES SIX GAMES Morehouse College made a successful invasion of Alabama and Southern Georgia last week and captured six out of seven games. The results of the game were: Morehouse 14; Alabama State 5 Morehouse 2; Tuskegee 0 Morehouse 7; Tuskegee 4 Morehouse 9; Americus 2 Morehouse 14; Americus 2 Morehouse 4; 24th Infantry-9 Morehouse 22; 24th Infantry 3 Everything Being Made Ready for Opening of The Ball Season Here Petersburg, Va., Special—The Washington Potomacs defeated the Petersburg Elk Giants here Thursday in the first game of their series by the score of 5 to 3. The pitching of Ross and Carr of the Potomacs was a feature of the game. The game was fast and was witnessed by a large crowd. Fans Plan to Welcome Team With Banquet The dyed in the wool fans and well wishers of Washington's new professional baseball team, the Potomac, are planning to officially welcome Manager Ben Taylor and his players to Washington with a big banquet at the Whitelaw Hotel, Monday night, May 7th. The banquet is being arranged by Mr. S. H. Dudley and the Washington Tribune. All fans who desire to participate in this official welcome are advised to get in touch with the Tribune office at once; phone N. 6554-W or stop in 920 U Street, N.W. The Washington public is cordially invited to take part in this modest expression to one of the greatest leaders and players in Negro baseball. The banquet will not be formal and will be open to all who desire to take part. VETERANS BUREAU IN THE FIELD Through the untiring efforts of Otey Brown and Mose Morris, the Veteran's Bureau will be represented this year in the Colored Departmental League. The welfare section of the Bureau has consented to outfit the aggregation. Two practices have already been held and a number of promising candidates uncovered. The infielders out for the team are Manager Herod, Captain Moten, Watts, Holmes, Proctor, Gibson, Baltimore, Franklin and Middleton. The gardeners will be selected from Morris, Diggs, Jenkins, Dry, Luckett, Brown and Kenny. Carter and Upshaw are the backstop candidates and Banks Robbins, Walker, Washington and Hughes are pitching prospects. With the arrival of Mr. E. J. Butler, secretary and publicity manager of Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac, in the city this week, things began to take on a new appearance. Mr. Butler is a publicity man of note, being the only race man with a union bill-postre's license. Mr. Butler is whipping things into shape for the grand opening at the American League Park, May 10. The city is being completely covered with bills of all kinds and the local fans are promised one of the greatest opening days ever in the history of the city. Manager Taylor wired from Richmond this week, that the Potomacs are rounding into shape in fine style and that he will have a team this season that will be second to none in the country. AUTOMOBILE PARADE All persons having automobiles are requested to participate in the street parade on the opening day of the baseball season here at American League Park when the Washington Potomacs and the Atlantic City Bacharachs meet in their first series. It is the hope of the management to have a grand street parade and all fans and sport lovers are asked to join in and help make this parade one of the biggest events in the history of Washington. The southwest and southeast sections of the city are planning to have a big representation in the parade. The following cars from these sections have already been entered and numbers of others are expected to enroll before the end of next week. Gus Hill, 615 Half St.; William Byrd, 948 L St.; Gorge F.

A number of prominent national stars are programmed for the week. The finals will be played off on May 5, beginning at 2 o'clock. The F. W. Bryson Co., of Boston, have donated the choice cup while numerous smaller ones will be put up by local firms. Lawrenceville, Va., April 25, Special—St. Paul defeated Virginia Seminary in a well played game here today by the score, 5 to 3. BLADENSBURG DOWNS MARY- LAND WHITE SOX In a slugfest, Sunday afternoon Culey's Bladensburg All Stars triumphed over the strong Maryland White Sox on the former's diamond, 15 to 14. The game was an uphill affair and kept the large gallery on its feet throughout. BASKETBALL RULE CHANGES The specialized foul shooter has been eliminated by the joint basketball rules committee and under the change when a personal foul is called against a player, the man against whom the foul is called must make the free throw. Any player can throw technical fouls. The allowing of one free throw instead of two for a foul committee within the zones when the player fouled does not have the ball in his possession was the only other major change. Mr. Benjamin Washington was requested by the Director of Athletics at the Naval Academy to submit any recommendations for changes in the rules. The changed foul throwing plan was one of Mr. Washington's suggestions. given a pass to the game. Business houses will be permitted to place any banner on their trucks that they may desire.

No more intense interest and enthusiasm in amateur baseball has ever been displayed than that in evi- dence. in Southwest Washington, Deanwood and Brookland on the in- auguration of the new league. Geremonies preceded the openings on the Southwest and Deanwood dia- monds, President Wm. 0. Walker threw out the first ball and started the Teddy Bear-Oriental Tiger contest on its way, on the Southwest diamond at South Capitol and P Streets. James E, Edmonds, well-known sportsman of Deanwood, tossed the initial ball and began the season in Deanwood. Attendance Records Broken According to Southwest inhabitants, the crowd that viewed the league's opening in that section smashed all previous records. The Brookland at- tendance record was also broken, fans coming for miles to see the Brook- land-LeDroit game. The crowd at Deanwood compared favorably with any in the past. Although high scores prevailed, the brand of baseball shown was good considering the short time the teams have hfd'to get into condition. ‘This is especially true of the pitchers, who in practically all instances ‘went bril- liantly for a few innings but were unable to stand the strain of a full game this early in the season. ‘The Results The Teddy Bears defeated the Oriental Tigers, 17 to 9, in a game that in the early innings bore all the earmarks of a pitching duel between Mantyne Harris and Seriver. Both pitchers blew up and had to be yanked Deanwood was unable to hit Bland and Kaiser and the Piedmonts won an easy game, 15 to 0, although Green and Anderson of the losers fanned fourteen, The Deanwood team was without the services of the Barbour brothers owing to the death of their father. Grant of the Piedmonts featured the game with heavy clout- ing and hit one of the longest drives on record which went foul by inches. ‘The LeDroit ‘Tigers found, the of- ferings of Kenny to their liking, an¢ defeated the Brookland Giants 17 tc 3, Kenner’s fielding, a long drive by Baylor, and Red Johnson's pitching featured. The Giants line-up has a number of well-known players who will soon strike their stride, ‘The Asbury nine broke into the win column on opening day at the expense of the Buffaloes 14 to 4. Serving as a nightcap to the Tiger-Teddy Bear clash the game shaped up as the best played of the day and held the huge crowd until the end.

The following subjects are on the calendar of the Alliance for future discussion: May 28—"Evolution," by Rev. J. U. King; June 25—"Fundametals vs. Liberals," by Rev. W. O. Carrington; July 23—"The Kingdom of God," by Rev. P. L. Moore; Sept. 24—"Old Faith and New—What and How to Believe," by Rev. James Brown. Rev. E. D. W. Jones is president of the alliance and Fev. F.

Visiting Nurses Having Drive The Instructive Visiting Nurse Society, of this city, is in the midst of a drive for $100,000 to complete their 1923 budget and for the year of 1924. The drive is for funds which result in an investment in health. There should be one nurse to each 2,000 population of a city. Washington has one trained nurse to each 8,000 inhabitants. There are twenty-six nurses in the I. V. N. S. Of this number, three are colored. They are Miss Bertha M. Davis, of Freedmen's Hospital and post work in New York, who has been with the Society for about four years. Miss Mintha Hankins, of Freedmen's Hospital and the Henry Street Settlement, New York City; she has been with the Society about four years. Miss Louise E. Parr, General Hospital, Kansas City, who came into the service of the Society in January of this year is taking the place of Miss Helen Goins, who has left the city. The Instructive Visiting Nurse Society, founded twenty-two years ago, sends graduate Public Health Nurses, health agents, into the homes of the sick to relieve suffering, prevent illness, and to teach health. It offers through its Pay Servcie, a high grade nursing care on a cost basis (80 per cent visit) to those of small and moderate income. It makes possible that same care to those who can pay only a little through its Part Pay Service. It renders precisely the same service to those who are ill and helpless and financially dependent. Daily this constructive work of the Visiting Nurse goes on. Into all types of homes, scattered over the sixty-nine square miles of the District of Columbia, she finds her way. A population of 437,571 people are to be served. The work is increasing. The service must be extended. To do this, to reach all those who are ill and suffering in the homes, we need more nurses. Will you invest in this public service? Will you show your practical interest by your support? Will you send your subscription now? In New Orleans the city authorities mail the pay of married men to their home address. Boy! Page Patrick Henry. ERS! BECOME THE DANCER arded winners Dance VENTION HALL 5th and L Streets, N.W.

RAILROAD MEN WIN VICTORY The colored railroad porters in this section of the country won a decided victory Tuesday, when the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia rendered an opinion granting certain colored railroad porters the same wages paid white men when acting as brakemen and porters, as in the case of Dick vs James C. Davis, Statutory Agent of the United States railroads. On June 1, 1918, W. G. McAdoo, Director of the railroads, promulgated an order, giving the colored porters who also acted as flagmen the same pay per month, as the white SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT of Columbia, Holding Probate Court.

FEDERAL LIFE GIVES BANQUET The banquet, given Friday night, at the Whitelaw Hotel, by Jesse H.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS M FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) THE BEECHER MONUMENT, BROOKLYN. Up to this point we have considered chiefly statues and groups whose fundamental idea was more or less a representation or commemoration of Emancipation. There more important works of that character have been discussed. It now remains to con- The Beecher Monument, Br Scul THE STATUE OF MARY TAYLOR The Beecher Monument, Broklyn, N. Y. J. Q. Ward, Sculptor sider the more important of the other productions of American sculptors showing Black Folk, in which the representation of Emancipation was subordinate to other purposes or from which the idea was absent altogether Ignoring chronological order, we may, now consider a figure by J. Q. A. Ward, whose "Freedman" has already been discussed. The figure to be considered is of a young Negro woman which flanks one side of the pedestal of the Henry Ward Beecher Monument in Brooklyn, unveiled in 1891. She is in the act of laying a palm at the feet of this true Knight of Freedom; while on the other side of the pedestal a little girl of Mr. Beecher's race, supported by a boy, places a wreath at the feet of this great man who was also a friend of, and a lover of, children. Mr. Taft, in his History of American Sculpture, uses this monument as the basis of a great and deserved tribute to Ward. After discussing Ward's "Indian Hunter" and other early works, Mr. Taft says: "But greater far, than any of these early works are the subsequent triumphs of Mr. Ward's skill and incessant study. As already stated, these have been largely portraits of contemporaries, a field in which Mr. Ward is one of the masters of the day. Perhaps the finest of his achievements in this field is the statue of Henry Ward Beecher which stands in front of the court house in Brooklyn. In it Mr. Ward has inadvertantly told us much of himself. None but a big strong man could have grasped that character; none but a strong nature could convey to others that impression of exuberant vitality and conscious power. . . . At either end Mr. Ward has introduced realistic figures which pay homage to the great man above; a youthful negress(See Note 18), who reverently lays a palm branch at his feet, a small boy and girl who attempt to hang a garland of oak leaves. The use of such adventive figures is often in doubtful taste as their realism may easily be carried beyond the bounds of legitimate art, or even of legitimate sculpture; but if they were always handled with the restraint shown here, one could not object. Though essentially unarchitectonic in conception, they have been developed with sculptural breadth and simplicity. The young negress in particular is most happily treated, both in the matter of drapery and as regards the lines of the figure and of the clinging arms. The little ones on the opposite side illustrate well a combination which, though seemingly accidental, has been in reality carefully and wisely planned. The natural-ness of pose and expression could scarcely be improved. They are close to genre; yet they are so winning and so closely bound to the subject through the all-embracing sympathies of the man who was ever quick to respond Brooklyn, N. Y. J. Q. Ward, Alptor to innocent childhood and to downtrdden helplessness alike, that there is an unusual appropriateness in their presence here. The interpretative value will grow as the memory of the great orator becomes remote." Mr. Taft continues through ten pages to enumerate and discuss Mr. Ward's many and varied works. Toward the end he says: "Such is the record of our oldest practising sculptor. Such are a few of the many dignified works which it has been his privilege to contribute to the general mass of good sculpture in the United States. It is not to be wondered at that the entire profession delight to do him honor. They respect in him the upright and generous man and artist. They made him president of the National Sculpture Society upon its incorporation in 1896, and probably will have no other while he lives.... (This was written in 1903. Mr. Ward continued as the president of the society named, until his death in 1910.) In the figure of this young freedwoman, as in the case of his "Freedman," wrought thirty years before Ward has given us frankly Negro features. He depicts her as one who has just emerged from bondage—a bondage, the blight and deprivation and shamelessness of which are manifest in her uncultivated, though nobest, features and her coarse, scanty covering. But if this young freedwoman's face lacks the light of intelligence, it also fails to carry that insinuating assurance which negatives innocence. Clearly, we see—and I think the sculptor desired that we should see—by her expression, her attitude, her meager raiment, and her physical form, that she has been spared the shame, even if she has missed obtaining the advantages, of being a "favorite"; she represents the great mass of her lately oppressed sisters who deserve our considerate pity even as they sometimes command our rather grudging admiration.

(To be continued) OUR LETTER BOX SCHOOL NAMES (The writers of these letters are entitled to three theatre tickets each. Come to the office and receive same.) Dear Editor: Sumner School, which I attend, is named after Charles Sumner who was born in Boston and educated at Harvard. Later he became a recognized Free Soil leader. His anti-slavery attitude was defined by him as a determination never to "support any candidate for presidency who is not known to be against the extension of slavery, even though he has received the sacramental unction of a regular nomination." In 1850 the Free-Soilers of Massachusetts combined with the Democrats against the Whigs. They elected George Boutwell for governor and sent Sumner to the United States senate. He was cold, logical—not a lovable man—but a man of social position, sincerity, courage, and unswerving integrity. He was for nearly a quarter of a century the leading anti-slavery Senator of this time. He argued that the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law was inhuman. He opposed the Know Nothing party and classed it as an un-Amercian institution. The compromise measures of Clay and Douglass were his particular aversion. HELEN PETHEL (Age 12) 1505 Swann Street, N.W. Grade 8-B. Dear Editor: I am sending in a composition on William Lloyd Garrison. I attended Garrison-Cleveland school. I am in the 7-B grade. Mr. R. A. Gillem is my teacher. On New Year's Day, 1836, the question about filling government offices was pushed aside by a greater question—slavery. William Lloyd Garrison was then a poor young man with a very poor education, if any at all. Later he became the editor of the paper "The Liberator" in Boston. He was the owner, publisher, printer, and carrier. This paper demanded the immediate and unconditional emancipation of every slave held in the United States. Mr. Garrison said that he would attempt to free the Negroes if he had to destroy the Union to do it. After laboring for many years in the cause of emancipation, Mr. Garrison finally came to the conclusion that the constitution of the United States upheld slavery, and that the dissolution of the Union, by depriving the South of the support of the North, would hasten the liberation of the slaves; in consequence of this conviction he violently denounced the Constitution as a covenant with death and an agreement with hell. These words were then regularly printed at the top of "The Liberator" until the outbreak of the Civil War, at which time they were dropped. Mr. Garrison said in an address that he found the prejudice and contempt of Northern men harder to deal with than that of the slave-holders. In an article in the first number of "The Liberator" he used these words, "I am earnest. I will not equivocate—I will not excuse—I will not retreat a single inch—and I will be heard." Mr. Garrison's appeals in Boston in behalf of the freedom of the slaves aroused very great excitement. Meetings held to discuss emancipation were broken up by rough men. On one occasion a howling mob dragged the editor of "The Liberator" through the streets of Boston with a rope tied around his body. Mr. Garrison was against slavery and that is why he wanted to free the Negroes. JANIE EDWARDS, 1510 10th St., N.W.

SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH There are two passages in President Harding's speech before the representatives of the Associated Press in New York Tuesday, which are of vital interest to the country in general and the Negro in particular. One of these is the paragraph in which the President says that he believes "in keeping the faith." The country certainly is sadly in need of a President that will dare "keep the faith" of the platform promises on which he was elected. After quoting much of political party history, President Harding said: "I have quoted it, because I believe in keeping the faith. If political parties do not mean what they say and candidates do not mean what they say, then our form of popular government is based on fraud, and cannot hope to endure." That is either a very brave or a very hypocritical statement. We venture to ask the President if the Republican party, and he as a candidate of that party in 1920, "meant" these paragraphs, which appeared in the platform on which he was elected: "We undertake to end Executive autocracy and to restore to the people their constitutional Government. "The policies herein declared will be carried out by the Federal and State Governments, each acting within its constitutional powers." The Constitution of these United States en-franchised the Negro. The Federal Government has permitted a number of the Southern States to dis-franchise the Negro. The platform on which President Harding was elected declared: "We shall undertake to restore to the people their constitutional Government." Has the President "kept the faith" as to that declaration? Another paragraph of the 1920 platform says: "We urge Congress to consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country, which continues to be a terrible blot on our American civilization." Hon. L. C. Dyer, a Republican Congressman, from Missouri, introduced a bill (H. R. 13) which proposed to deal effectively with lynching. Did the President "keep the faith" of the platform of 1920 and "urge" the passage of that bill? Was that paragraph a "fraud"? The Negroes of the country have decided that it was a "scrap of paper" and so expressed their belief last November, and in a number of city elections since then. Here is another paragraph of the President's speech last Tuesday: "I like the party government where purposes are reached in the reasoning of honest representation, and I like a party which is commissioned to govern to strive in good conscience and all loyalty to keep the pledges which brought it popular approval." So do we like, and appreciate "honest representation." Certainly the President cannot in "good conscience" believe that the eight or more millions of Negroes of the South enjoy "honest representation" when they are deprived of participating in the election that chooses representatives from the very districts in which they live and pay taxes. Of a truth, the Republicans cannot say that they strove "in good conscience" to pass the Dyer anti-lynching bill during the last Congress in which they had an overwhelming majority; although this bill was in keeping with their platform promises of 1920. Permit us also to mention the paragraphs of the platfrom of 1920, on which President Harding was elected, referring to the "civil service" the "postal service" and "education and health," and let us ask if the President has a "good conscience" regarding the discriminations practiced in these departments now under the Regarding "woman suffrage," the Republican platform of 1920 said: "We welcome women into full participation in affairs of government and the activities of the Republican Party. We earnestly hope that Republican legislatures in states which have not yet acted on the suffrage amendment, will ratify the amendment, to the end that all of the women of the Nation of voting age may participate in the election of 1920, which is so important to the welfare of the country." Has the President "kept the faith" in the enforcement of this amendment? Remember, the paragraph said: "To the end that ALL WOMEN of the Nation] of voting age, may participate in the election of 1920." Has the President a "good conscience" over the fact that two or three million "women of the Nation" if you please, were forcibly denied the opportunity of "participating in the elections of 1920" nowwithstanding the amendment had become a part of the "sacred constitution" which he took oath on March 4, 1921, to enforce? The Republicans have not "kept the faith" with the Negro and he is aware of it. Therefore, they cannot blame him in 1924 for voting with the Democrats or any other party he may choose; for he can do so with a "good conscience," realizing that the Republican party and its candidates have proven that they did not mean what they said in 1920.

President of N.C. Pine Association Answers (Continued from page 1) and to force them to work under intolerable conditions. It is equally a matter of common knowledge that as a result of his refusal to work under the oppressed economic conditions of the South he has even suffered himself to be placed in prison. If unwillingness to work under these restrictive and dehumanizing conditions is to be interpreted as a shortage of labor, then, if there is not a shortage of labor in the lumber plants and other industries of the South, there should be such a shortage. "I very definitely feel that it is the duty of Colored people wherever opportunity offers to leave those sections where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. I know quite definitely the difficulties that black men are likely to meet in some Northern sections, but these difficulties are inconsequential when compared with the privileges of a free and untrammlered citizenship. "I am sorry that you are disposed to consider the ambition on the part of Colored people to seek their fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship as being unworthy. I should very much dislike to feel that the South, the natural habitat of the Negro, as you say, is going to assume a permanent feeling of hostility toward the Negro in these fundamental directions. If it does, migration northward will continue." HOWARD UNIVERSITY TO CON- DUCT A SUMMER SESSION Howard University will inaugurate this year a summer session.
