Benj. Gaither, N.A.A.C.P. Start Anti - Lynching Bill Campaign N.A.A.C.P. Start Anti - Lynching Bill Campaign New York City, May 4.—The campaign to have the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill enacted into law by the next United States Congress, is under way, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Representative Dyer has begun his speaking tour under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., having already spoken in Kansas City, Springfield, Illinois; Omaha and Denver. Representative Dyer is using as one of the arguments for federal action against Lynching, the recent mob murder of Jamse T. Scott, colored janitor of the University of Missouri, who was hanged from a bridge while protesting his innocence of an alleged attempt at assault, while the father of the girl alleged to have been attacked pleaded in vain with the mob to give its victim a trial. At the Springfield, Illinois, mass meeting which he addressed, Representative Dyer said of his measure: "The bill is not sectional in its scope nor is it aimed at any particular part of the country. It simply provides justice for the survivors of those lynched no matter of what race or creed or color. The Anti-Lynching Bill provides a federal hearing for those active in the crime and will necessitate investigation by government authorities and trial in the federal court for the lynchers." NewY. M. C. A. Secretary Selected NewY. M. C. A. Secretary Selected Captain Campbell C. Johnson, a veteran of the World War, has been selected as the Executive Secretary of the 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. of Washington, D. C. The newly elected Board of Managers, made the recommendation and the Central Committee of Directors immediately confirmed the selection. The new secretary is a product of the Washington Public Schools and of the Washington Public Schools and of the College Department of Howard University as well as a graduate of the Law Department of that institution. He is a member of the bar of both the District of Columbia and of North Carolina. His other connections are: at present chief of the special service section of the personell office of the Veterans Bureau; secretary of the supreme council of the Omega Psi Phi National Fraternity, and a member of the Masonic Lodge John F.

Mr. Johnson has had considerable experience in handling men in civil as well as in military life, having a very creditable war record in the 350 Field Artillery, and as military instructor at Howard University where The Washington Tribune Miss L. Williams and John M. Jackson who were on the 3rd floor were rescued by engine companies 7 and 4. The iron rail on the steps of the adjoining house at 327 T Street was demolished by the fall of Miss Regenia Moore, who fell upon it, seriously injuring herself. The injured persons were taken to Freedmen's Hospital, all of them being given emergency treatment and dismissed, except Miss Moore, whose condition was reported Friday morning as being greatly improved. Arranging Burial Ceremonies For Charles Young A group of about twenty-five Wilberforcians met at the home of Dr. W. L. Board to arrange for the ceremonies attending the re-interment of late Col. Charles Young. The burial will take place at Arlington National Cemetery, about the twenty-first of this month. The Wilberforcians will have a reservation in the amphitheatre, and would like all Ohioans of the District, as well as visitors from that state to occupy seats in this section. Capt. H. O. Atwood and Mr. Richard Bundy, both of whom were in Africa with Colonel Young, were present; and many interesting accounts were given of the Colonel's splendid service in the interest of the natives, whom he always held very dear, and as deserving his best efforts. Capt. Atwood was the only American with Colonel Young when he died in that far of country, and did all that human hands could to soothe his last hours and carry out his wishes.

Injunction Against Mrs. Helen Curtis Made Permanent for Period of Twenty-One Years Justice McCoy in Equity Court last Tuesday permanently enjoined Irene Corrigan from selling her property in the seventeen hundred block on S Street, N.W., to Mrs. A. L. Curtis for a period of 21 years from June 1, 1923. The court further enjoined Mrs. A. L. Curtis from taking title directly or indirectly to the property owned by the Corrigans. An appeal was noted and the Court fixed bond on appeal at $100. The suit was brought by one of the owners of property in the seventeen hundred block of S Street, John J. Buckley, who was a party to an agreement made by a number of residents not to sell their property to colored people for a term of years. Mrs. Curtis was made a party defendant to this suit by reason of being the intending purchaser. This case on its face is based on the right of contract between the parties thereto not to sell their property to persons of color, and the court has ruled that such a contract is binding as between the parties. It will remain for the Court of Appeals to which the case will be carried to determine whether or not such a contract, the basis of which is discrimination on account of color, can be valid. In the meanwhile, however, there is nothing in the decision that prevents some other Colored person from purchasing the same property from Irene Corrigan, or to prevent Mrs. Curtis from purchasing the same property from someone else who might buy from Mrs. Corrigan the language of Howard Wins Triangular Debate For the second consecutive year the Howard University Debaters by defeating both of their opponents, Lincoln and Union Universities won the inter-collegiate debating championship. A remarkable feature of the double victory was that Union University was defeated for the first time in her history in a debate in Richmond the evening of April 27th, thus the Howard team composed of Messrs. C. Glenn Carrington, F. H. Robb, and L. E. King have made debating history for their institution. They upheld the negative side of the question, "Resolved that France is justified in en at on day." by presi- and church music s. inted and Cap- needed now t Week, 一 WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1923 SCENES AT THE OPENING OF THE BASEBALL SEASON HERE FRIDAY the injunction being as follows: "ADJUDGED, ORDERED, AND DECREED: That defendant Irene Hand Corrigan be and she hereby is permanently enjoined for and during the period of twenty-one years from complying with or carrying out in any manner whatsover all or any of the terms and provisions of that certain written contract of sale entered into between said defendant Irene Hand Corrigan and the defendant Helen Curtis. "It is further ADJUDGED, ORDERED, and DECREED: That said defendant Helen Curtis, be permanently enjoined during the period of twenty-one years from taking title directly or indirectly to the hereinabove described land and premises from defendant Corrigan and from using or occupying the same and from selling, conveying, leasing, renting or giving the same to, or permitting the same to be used or occupied by, any negro or negroes or persons of the negro race or blood." It is to be noted that the Court has enjoined Mrs. Curtis, (not Mrs. Corrigan) from selling, conveying, leasing, renting, or permitting the same to be occupied by persons of Negro race or blood, but has not enjoined Irene Corrigan from doing so, the injunction against Mrs. Corrigan being specifically confined to the sale to Mrs. Curtis, and the injunction against Mrs. Curtis specifically states "from defendant Corrigan." her occupation of Germany in order to collect the reparation guaranteed by the Versailles Treaty." The team composed of Messrs. Arthur M. Brady, A. C. Gilbert, and J. A. Curry defended the affirmative side of the question in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, on the University Campus, Friday evening, April 27th, against Lincoln University. The Howard University is thus taking a foremost place in the intellectual activities of her students. The teams were in charge of Professor Montgomery Gregory, assisted by Professor Burch. All of the debating at the University is under the supervision of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society of which Mr. Yancey L. Sims is President and Mr. Edward W. Anderson is in charge of Arrangements for the Inter-Collegiate debates. BODY OF VIVIAN TIBBS, FLOOD VICTIM FOUND Floating in Eastern Branch After being Carried Through Culvert The body of Vivian Tibbs, who was drowned in Stickfoot Creek, Saturday, April 7th, when a cloudburst flooded that section of Anacastia, was found this week in the Eastern Branch. Tibbs was driving a Ford sedan down Nichols Avenue, when the water, rushing down from the Asylum grounds, stopped his car. The water rose so fast, Tibbs did not have a chance to extricate his car. He climbed to the top of the car where the rushing waters washed him off. The swift current quickly carried Tibbs out of sight. Searching parties looked for the body for three days but no trace of Tibbs could be found. The big culvert, which carries the water of Stickyfoot creek to the Potomac was thoroughly searched, but in vain. The water where Tibbs was drowned rose to a height of 15 feet. Tibbs lived at 326 D. Stret, S.E., and left a wife and several children. Public spirited citizens contributed a nice purse for Mrs. Tibbs, which was presented to her last week. COLORED ASSEMBLYMAN PRE SIDES AT CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE Sacramenta, Calif., May 8—(Pacific coast News Bureau.)—For the first time in the history of California and the entire West, a Negro presided over the State Legislature during the debate over one of the most important measures to come up before the California legislature, when Frederick M. Roberts, assemblyman from the seventy-fourth district in the city of Los Angeles, and the only colored member in either house, recently was calle dto the chair in the debate on the three quarters jury bill. When speaker Merriam called upon Mr. Roberts to assume the gavel, the colored assemblyman, who is serving his third session as an assemblyman, was greeted with applause from his fellow members. The preceding day, the assembly passed and sent to the Senate the following bill introduced by Assemblyman Roberts: "To require booking officers at prisons to give receipt for property taken from prisoners at time of arrest."

SCOUTS PLAN TO SPEED UP DRIVE FOR CAMP FUNDS Citizens Asked to Donate Liberally-Movement has Backing of Nation Great interest is being manifested throughout the Boy Scout organization in the drive which is now on to secure funds for the summer camp, which will be located on Chesapeake Bay. The fund committee says that the citizens of the District have not responded with personal subscriptions as largely as the officials would like to see them do. This work is highly important and is worthy of every cent contributed toward its support. The organization is dependent upon public contributions for its support; and the contributions must come from our group to people. No funds of any kind are received from the government, nor is any equipment supplied for the movement. The white Boy Scouts are splendidly supported and have excellent equipment. Our boys deserve the same, and the public is called upon to aid in this worth-while work. The camp needs floors in the tents and also competent persons on the premises in charge of various departments and other necessary features. The following is a report of the campaign to date: amount previously reported, $36.62; amount collected, $13.02; Remington Cash Register salesman, $2.00; friend, $1.00; Total $52.64. Send all personal donations or subscriptions to the office of the Assistant Deputy Scout Commissioner, S. Z. C. Westerfield, 1503 R St., N.W., and they will be acknowledged through the columns of this paper. Do not forget the Spring Bazaar and Dance for the benefit of the Boy Scouts at the Murray Casino May 16 and 17. COLORED BOY CAPTAINS DEBATING TEAM Atlantic City, N. J.—In a debate here between Haddonfield High School and Pleasantville High, the latter won, by a unanimous decision. The winning team was captained by Robert Burrell, a Colored boy. Burrell also gave the rebuttal. The Pleasantville school took the negative side of the question: "Resolved that the Merchant Marine of the United States should be subsidized by the Federal Government."

Potomacs Please Washington fans turned out 4000 strong and braved the chilly breeze that swept the field to see their home team, the Potomacs defeat the Bacharachs of Atlantic City in the season's opener. Although the weather was very cold for this time of year, the local fans turned out in full and enjoyed one of the best games ever seen on the local lot. A street parade composed of over seventy-five cars started the festivities off. The parade went through the principal sections of the city and ended at the ball park where the big program of the day was carried out. The women, in their gay colored clothes and mannish styles lent a color and touch to the big crowd that has seldom before been seen at a baseball game here. Citizens in every walg of life attended and everyone rooted himself hoarse and enthusiastically received the Potomacs. Fans came from far and wide to witness the opener and in leaving the park, everyone of them acclaimed the Potomacs as one of the greatest teams they have ever seen. Manager Ben Taylor had his men all spick and span for the opening and the players immediately won a lasting place in the hearts of every fan by their department on the field. The players really set a standard for good sportsmanship here that will be hard for any other club to equal, be it white or colored. Although this was the first time the fans have had a chance to see the home team, they immediately became acquainted and before many innings had passed, the fans knew all the players by their first names and gave them the glad hand whenever the occasion justified it. Everything favored the Potomacs but the weather. Wednesday night the thermometer fell almost to freezing, and Thursday the temperature rose very little, making it an ideal day for football, but not for baseball however, the dyed-in-the-wool fans were determined to give Ben Taylor a good send off and they donned their mufflers and 'oercoats and came out in droves. That the vast crowd was pleased with their home team in putting it mildly. The Potomacs simply took them off their feet and the fans went wild with joy. All through the crowd you could hear: Oh, boy, we have a team now." There is little doubt that if the brand of ball played by the Potomacs is kept up during the season, this city will be one of the best baseball towns in the country. Taylor was presented with a beautiful horseshoe of American Beauties just before the game started. The design was over four feet high and contained over two hundred roses. The presentation was made by Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University. Recorded of Deeds, A. G. Froe threw out the first ball. Mr. S. H. Dudley officially introduced the team to the public. The victory for the Potomacs was a fitting climax to the day. The fans were sent home happy and full of praise for and confidence in the local aggregation. The Potomacs will play a series with the Black Sox, of Baltimore, and the Richmond Giants before taking the road. (Continued on page 4) LOCALS AND SOCIETY COMING!

Taylor's America's Foremost Colored Ball Club Saturday,Sunday MAY 12,13,14, ATLANTIC BACHARACHS Monday CITY Tuesday Wednesday May 15,16,17 Baltimore Black Sox Thursday PAGE FOUR The Potomacs Defeating Potomacs Show Class in Defeating Bacharach Giants Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs, the greatest baseball aggregation that ever represented this city, began its initial season of operation Thursday afternoon at American League park by defeating the far-famed Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City 5 to 2. At no stage of the game were the visitors able to do anything with the delivery of Carr who allowed but 4 hits, and but for a ball getting away from Woods and a bad play to third by Lewis, Carr would have shut the visitors out. The spectacular fielding of Woods, Brown and Jefferson in the local's outfield and Ridgeley and Clark infielders featured for the Potomacs. Lundy contributed a hair-raising stop of a ground ball from Lewis' bat and retired the side with the sacks loaded. Henderson pitched creditably, but faulty fielding which put men on bases and timely clouting meant his undoing. Manager Ben Taylor, the greatest first baseman in the game, lived up to his reputation with his hitting, fielding and leadership of his team. The Potomacs counted two runs in the third on Clark's hit, Jefferson's sacrifice, White's error and Taylor's hit. Three more were added in the fifth when Brown singled and stole; Taylor walked; Ridgeley hit to Henderson and all men were safe when Henderson threw late to Francis. Brown died at the plate when Eggleston hit to Henderson, but two runs were scored on Wood's single to left. Eggleston scored while Lundy tossed out Lewis. The Bacharahs scored their only runs in the seventh when Mason singled and counted on Crockett's hit which got by Woods for a triple. Crockett was run down when Carr fileded Downs' grounder but Downs stole and scored on Lewis' bad peg to catch him. MANAGER TAYLOR ISSUES STATEMENT Washington, D. C. May 10, 1923 MANAGER TAYLOR ISSUES STATEMENT Washington, D. C. May 10, 1923. To the Loyal fans of Washington: I want to express my Appreciation and gratitude for the whole hearted support given me this afternoon. In my long experience in baseball I have never played before a more appreciative and enthusiastic audience. I have long felt that the fans of this City wanted a real representative Colored baseball club, and if given one would respond with their unqualified support. I am more than pleased with the attendance of the opening game, and feel satisfied that if my club can continue to play a good brand of baseball that the attendance will increase. I want to add that it will be my endeavor to give you even a better club than was seen in our opening, all I ask is the continued support of the lovers of good baseball. Mgr. Yours respectfully, BEN.

Marshall Walsh believed in brute force—not necessarily as the way to a woman's heart, but as the way to conquer her. And she who had cherished ideals of love and marriage met such disillusionment on her wedding day—met indomitable brute force of a man who, but a few hours before, had promised to love, honor and protect her! Around this theme is built the starting, dramatic story of "When Husbands Deceive," the Associated. Exhibitors feature by and with Leah Baird, beginning Sunday, May 13 at the Broadway Theatre. Under the personal supervision of Arthur F. Beck, "When Husbands Deceive" has been given a spectacular and luxurious mounting. And Miss Baird upholds her reputation for modish gowns. The supporting cast includes William Conklin, Jack Mower, Eulalie Jensen, Katherine Lewis and John Cossar. The direction is by Wallace Warley. 1515 7th St., N.W.—DAILY 3 P.M.—PHONE NORTH 7255 SUN.

PAUL Lawrenceville, Va.—St. Paul will hold its second annual track and field games, which is an intramural affair, at Russell Field on Saturday, May 12. Last year this event created a keen spirit of interest and competition, and proved very helpful to this branch of sports which is just in its infancy at St. Paul School. Mr. Niles will direct the event. The Faculty Relay Team, which is composed of Anderson (Yale); Douglas (Lincoln); Russell (Oberlin); Whitehead (Pennsylvania), and Wiley (Morris Brown), will compete against the varsity in an exhibition contest.

MIDNIG THE LIVES OF A HOW MUCH DECEPTION SHOULD A WIFE TOLERATE ON THE PART OF HER HUSBAND UNLOV sory divorce if the husband and wife do not love each other was recommended by Professor Earl Barnes, formerly of Leland Stanford University, speaking here at a State social work conference. "It is a monstrous thing," he said, "for any man and woman to live in the close intimacy of marital life if they do not love each other ardently."

His preceding offering, "Oliver Twist," disclosed Jackie's genius in its tender, pathetic and wistful aspects. "Peek's Bad Boy" revealed Jackie mainly as an impish, mischievous, adorable lad; there was grotesque humor in "Trouble," wherein Jackie was a plumber's helper; but it remained for "Daddy" to bring to Jight Jackie's capacity for tragedy. "Daddy" was produced by Sol Lesser and directed by E. Mason Hopper from the original story by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coogan. In the cast are Bert Woodruff, Anna Townsend, William Lewis, George Kuwa, Arthur Carewe and Josie Sedgewick. Pictorial Beauty in Gasnier Prod. When "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" was assigned to Gasnier to produce, the director found it essential to secure descriptive scenes of Spain where the story opens. Just how well he succeeded can be seen for the picture comes to the Lincoln theatre, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The cast includes Kenneth Harlan, Estelle Taylor and Edith Roberts. "THE UNLOVED WIFE" AT THE HOWARD How often have you read in the newspapers of the life of another woman wasted? How often have you asked yourself the question, "Are you one of them?" How shall you retain the love of your husband? Did it ever occur to you that many married men have a double personality? Why is your husband different from the man you married? What is the reason? You probably know a dozen couples who are unhappily married. Why? How often have you asked yourself the question, "Does my husband really love me? Honestly now—does he? Or does he just tolerate me?" Have you ever thoroughly tested his love? Have you? You say, you do not doubt—yet do you doubt? What is that which grips your heart and causes your blood to almost freeze in your veins—that word which is most prominent in every woman's life, doubt? Your answer may be the right one, or your friend's, your neighbor's. At the Howard Theatre commencing Sunday, May 13th for one week only you can hear the real answer in a play that is a thunderbolt of drama. Miss Florence Edna May must have had the important questions in a woman's life in mind when she wrote "The Unloved Wife," as the dramatic construction of this play shows the untiring efforts of a master mind in playwriting and stagecraft. "The Unloved Wife" is human, it carries with it an appeal, it strikes at the heart, its comedy situations are brilliant, it is a remarkable story made into a really big play. Unity Play Co., the producers, sends it here with a capable cast and beautiful production. Matinees are given daily for ladies only. The evening performances are for everybody over the age of sixteen. Heading this much Ellis with the greatest aggregation of talked of play is none other than colored artists ever assembled for a Washington's favorite, Miss Evelyn dramatic engagement.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1923 EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) "MORTAR PRACTICE," GROUP, CLEVELAND, By Levi T. Scofield While considering representations of the Emancipation, reference was made t othe "Mortar Practice" group on the Cleveland military monument by Levi T. Scofield. So far as I am aware, (See Note 19.) there are but three War monuments or memorials in this country which, among their many figures and groups, show a Black Defender. This monument is one, and the earliest one (1894), of the three. We may regret that Scofield lacked the technical skill and power of the great sculptors who executed the other two. [Saint Gaudens, Shaw Memorial, Boston. (1897); MaeMonnies, Naval group, Brooklyn (1900). We also may recall Randolph Rogers' "Emancipation" on the military monument in Detroit, and may look forward to the consideration of a related group on Bissell's military monument at Waterbury, Conn.] But we may congratulate ourselves that Scofield was not a whit less sincere and high-purposed THE PYRAMID OF GIZA seriously questioned. But Mortar Practice, group, on the Military Monument, Cleveland, by Levi T. Scofield such has long been held up as the ideal. Hence Scofield's portrayal was intended to be—and it actually is—highly complimentary to Black Folk; and the courage displayed by the artist in executing this group was of a character at least praise-worthy and as effective for ultimate good as the courage which he ascribed to this stalwart black man.

Question: Was there ever such a publication in Washington known as "The Black Pen"? If so is it true that it was a Negro publication?—M. E. T. Answer: "The Black Pen" was a monthly magazine of about sixteen to twenty pages published at 1313 Ninth Street, N.W., in 1912. It was edited by C. L. Webb and existed only three or four issues. Question: Where were the first Methodist Missions for Negroes started?—R. J. Ans: The first Methodist missions were started for slaves in the Carolinas and Georgia in 1829. They were called Plantation Missions. Question: Please give me a bit of information concerning the Frances Lyman case about ten yeras ago.—G. C. C. Ans: Frances Lyman an eighteen year old colored girl was brutally beaten and kicked in front of the post office at Ocean Spring, Mississippi, January 30, 1916 by a white linesman who claimed that the girl cursed him. Alf Smith, the girl's uncle and Bud Jemison in defense of the girl nearly started a race riot. Smith was arrested and fined $25 and costs. Jemison was fined $10 and costs. The white men who took part in the melee were dismissed. Question: What is the Ship Subsidy Bill?—C. C. Ans.: The ship subsidy-so-called—was embodied in a bill which authorized the U. S. Government to assist or "subsidize" American shipowners if they should sustain any losses or "deficits" in the operation of their ships when engaged in foreign trade. The extent of the assistance or "subsidy" was not to exceed $50,000,000 annually. The purpose was stated to be an attempt to "build up an adequate merchant marine." Our picture was taken from a viewpoint not best adapted to bring out the Negro artillerist individually. Yet it is plain that in the group he is conspicuously placed and strikingly posed. While the others in the group seem for the moment absorbed in their particular duties, and are indifferent to danger, our gigantic Black, disengaged at the moment, appears to hold whatever of present danger there is in almost expressed contempt. Whether indifference to danger or contempt of it is an actual military asset, is nowadays being QUESTION BOX --- MORRIS MURRAY Sculptor Scofield had served as Captain Scofield(103 Ohio Infantry) through the Civil War. Doubtless he had frequently seen Black men "in action" on land and on water. This nobly conceived group in enduring bronze is his testimony. There is here no squeamishness, no equivocation; on the other hand, no exaggeration, no covert caricature. As Tuckerman said of Ward's "Freedman," this powerful artillerist, wielding the great swab, is "all African," yet we view him without wincing, for he is "a mighty expression of stalwart manhood"; "a noble figure", doing a noble work—a man's work, in a manly way. We could ask no more and I trust that we shall never, without protest, accept anything less. Note 19. My statement that there are but three war monuments which show a Black Defender, was made while having in mind merely the late Civil War. Certainly I should have considered the Tablet in old Fort Griswold, described in the appendix. The Attucks Monument also might have been considered.—F. H. M.

It is a day dedicated to the memory of mothers who have died, and a day of honor to living mothers. In 1914, Congress proclaimed the second Sunday of May as the day set apart to pay tribute to the Mothers of the nation. Because all of us have mothers, or have had mothers, it should be a day we love with reverence sincere and deep and strong. A pretty feature of the day is the wearing fo carnations. A red one is to be worn if your mother is living and a white one is to be worn if she is dead. "Honor to whom honor is due"—if we believe in this adage there is no one due honor more than mother. Let every Tribune pay homage to mother on this day by wearing the symbol of love and remembrance. Let each one of them make every day mothers' day by keeping in his or her heart, love sincere and true, which is shown by obedience and honor to her. Don't say "nigger."

A Native Liberian and a Dental Student of Howard University (Continued from last week) Through the goodness of Bushrod Washington, Henry Clay, Randolph and others, the American colonization Society was founded in Washington, D.C., in December, 1816. On the 23rd of December, 1816, Congress was petitioned to establish a colony on the West Coast of Africa. The matter was reported favorably with a recommendation that stipulations be obtained from Great Britain and other maritime powers "for the guaranteeing of a perfect neutrality for any colony of free people of Color, which, at the expense and under the auspices of the United States Government, shall be established on the African Coast." The act was passed by Congress on the 3rd of March in 1819, and adequate financial provisions were made for the executing of the project. With the passage of the Act, the American Colonization Society, of which President Monroe was a member, became agent for the United States Government. Prior to this time, (1817) the Society had sent Samuel J. Mills, and Ebenezer Burges to seek a suitable location for the colony, and it was to Mills that the credit for the work of foreign missions of the United States was largely due. In February, 1820, Samuel Bacon as agent of the American Colonization Society started from New York City for the West Coast of Africa, in the Ship "Elizabeth" which was chartered by the Government, and which sailed under the flag of the United States. He carried with him eighty-six persons of color The Colored Colonists were given free passage, thus enabling all to go who were able to get away from their masters. The colonists made their first stop in Freetown, Sierra Leone, but ere they reached this point, many and varied had been their experiences. Because of the slowness of the old sailing vessels of those days, the journey was a long, tiresome, and unhealthful one. Many of the older ones died on the way and had to be buried at sea, while some reached the shores with breath in them and that was all. From Sierra Leone they sailed to the Shebro Island, where they disembarked. It was very unhealthy in Shebro and death was busy. The grave was never closed. Back to Sierra Leone from the jaws of death, the disheartened fled. Many died there and were buried in the Fourrah Bay. In October, 1821, the United States Government ordered Lieutenant R. F. Stockton of the Navy department to proceed to the West Coast of Africa to select and purchase territory for the Colony in the name of said Government. Stopping at Freetown, Lieutenant Stockton took aboard Mr. Bacon and a few of the Colonists and steamed slowly down the African coast amidst her tropical rays, green foliage and invigorating breezes. They sailed until they came to Cape Messurodo, a bold promontory, eighty feet above the level of the sea, when they decided to investigate. The warship hove-to and dropped anchor. The Lieutenant and his party went ashore; they explored the land around and decided to make a purchase, but this was not destined to be as easy a task as it might have been. While the party moved around by day, interviewing the native kings and chiefs, the slave traders were also at work. They knew that a settlement there would destroy their trade. They employed a foreign born Colored man to circulate prejudicial lies among the kings against the Americans, urging them not to sell them.

Lieutenant Stockton and his escort; Eli Ayres and one other were on hand. So was a colored slave trader. The moment of their arrival, they could see that there was trouble brooding in the air. The palayer began. The Lieutenant explained to them his mission and made his proposal for the purchase. The kings replied; the palayer grew warm; the slave trader, who could speak the native dialects, boldly and frequently interjected such comments as would make for trouble. Feeling ran high. Imminent peril threatened the lives of the visitors. Destruction would have overtaken them had Lieutenant Stockton not drawn his revolver, held it at the Slavetrader's head and commanded his marines to prepare to fire and threatened death to any man who dared to break the peace or make the slightest move.

May 2, 1923 Dear Editor: The articles "Emancipation and The Freed in American Sculpture" by Mr. F. H. M. Murray are interesting, but the one on the "Children's Page" was of special interest to me this week. We are studying American literature in our English class and on Wednesday we were talking about Henry Ward Beecher, the "true Knight of Freedom." I had the "Children's Page" at school so I read the article on the Beecher Monument and Henry Ward Beecher which told more than the book did. LAWRENCE A.

The horrors coming to light in the uncovering of the law protected peonage system in the State of Florida is enough to make "the unspeakable Turk" shudder, not to say anything of Christian Civilized America. Mrs. J. E. Franklin, wife of the postmaster of Glen St. Mary, told the investigating committee Tuesday, of twenty-one human beings who were slain by the lash in the peonage camps owned by State Senator Knapp. She also told of the shooting of two colored women, mother and daughter last Wednesday, who were to have appeared as witnesses in this investigation. Along with this news comes the cables from China of the kidnapping of a few Americans, among them, a sister to the wife of Rockefeller, Jr. The whole country is alarmed. Cables are hot with burning messages to capture the "brigands." This government thru its Secretary of State has informed China that it will hold the Pekin government responsible for the 17 Americans. But not one word has come from the White House, or the Attorney General against the legalized murders in one of our own supposedly civilized and Christianized sovereign States. This State of Florida, recently had a Baptist preacher for its Governor. He (Gov. Catts) was indicted on the charge of peonage, but the case has not come to trial and nothing has been done about it. We have a Baptist for President of the United States, "a good Christian man," but he is apparently more interested in a few Americans in China han he is in the hundreds dead, and thousands dying, under the peonage slavery in certain of the states over which he rules. What will the historian of the future say of these inconsistencies? ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Mr. H. A.

In many respects this plan of operation and method of organization is superior, and preferable to the corporate plan, especially for banks and banking institutions. In the District of Columbia banking institutions may lawfully be organized and operated, either as common law organizations created under and by virtue of the common (fundamental) law and established and operated in accordance with the provisions of a common law trust agreement and declaration of organization or as incorporated bodies.
