MARCUS GARVEY GETS 5 YEARS
First in Local Circulation.
MAR
IS ONLY ONE OF HIS GROUP TO BE CONVICTED
In addition to Prison Term, Judge imposes $1000 fine
Marcus Garvey, self-elected provisional president of Africa, was sentenced Thursday to the Atlanta penitentiary for five years for fleecing the public through sale of Black Star line stock.
In addition to the prison term Judge Mack imposed a $1,000 fine on Garvey. He granted a motion for a stay of execution pending an appeal, but declined to fax bail for the prisoner, directing that he be held in Tombs prison until the appeal was decided. He allowed four months for the filing of a bill of exceptions, stipulating that during the four-month period Garvey must agree to write no inflammatory articles for the newspapers.
At request of Garvey's counsel, Assistant United States Attorney Mattuck agreed to ask Attorney General Daugherty to permit Garvey to serve his time in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., instead of at Atlanta.
Garvey was taken back to the Tombs under heavy guard. A crowd assembled about the federal building raised a wailing and a lamentation that could be heard for blocks as Garvey approached.
Women shrieked and men groaned. Some tried to break through police lines to reach him, but he waved them back with a sweep of the arm.
None but counsel and relatives was allowed in the courtroom.
(CRUSADER SERVICE)
New York, June 13—Marcus Garvey, advocate of the "Back To Africa" movement was found guilty by a jury before Judge Mack in the Federal Court last night of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock of the Black Star Line, which Garvey organized. The jury retired at 12:30 o'clock in the forenoon, and the verdict was returned ten hours later. Orlando M. Thompson, George Tobias and Eli Garcia, who were identified with the Garvey ventures and had been indicted with him, were acquitted.
Two indictments had been returned against the four men, but Garvey was found guilty of the third count in the second indictment. This alleged that he had continued to sell stock in the Black Star Line Company when he knew it was insolvent. Garvey admitted this when he testified in his own behalf. Three other indictments had been dropped because of the Government's inability to get the persons involved to testify in view of the intimidation carried on by the Garvey crowd.
The delay in delivering the verdict was due to the insistence of two jurors that a verdict of guilty be returned against another of the defendants. Eventually the other jurors satisfied them that all Garvey employees had been mere rubber stamps in the hands of an autocrat.
Garvey Loses His Head
Garvey made a demonstration in the court room when he heard the verdict. He violently abused the prosecutor and the jury and insinuated that they might be forced to relent. So violent was he that five United States Marshalls sourrounded the U. N. I. A. "Moses" and led him away. As he passed Mrs. Garvey, he fell sobbing into her arms.
Prosecutor Mattuck, who handled the case for the Government, made the request that Garvey be held without bail after Garvey's white lawyer, whom
The Washington Tribune
he had summoned in toward the end of his trial, had asked that he be released on the $5,000 bail under which he was held after his indictment. Mattuck branded Marcus Garvey a menace and told the Court that evidence in his possession showed that the African Legion was supplied by guns and ammunition and were continually threatening the peace. A crowd of Garvey followers, who had been turned out of the court room earlier in the day, had congregated at the south side of the building, and sent up a menacing murmur when news of the verdict reached them. Threats against persons concerned in the trial were heard from this crowd. Crowd Waits At Liberty Hall.
Up in Harlem, a huge crowd was waiting at Liberty Hall, West 138th Street, to receive the verdict. Few of these had any idea that "Mister" Garvey could be convicted. Inoculated for several years with "Mister" Garvey's greatness (had not Garvey told them over and over again how great a man he was!) they could not conceive of any power on earth defying the "mysteries of Africa" with which, they slyly told each other, Marcus Garvey was well charmed and protected from the harvest of retribution due him for defrauding the widow and the fatherless.
These loyal followers had in their minds vague ideas of a great torch light procession through Harlem when news came that the jury had really found "Mister" Garvey guilty and that he was at that moment lodged behind prison bars. Sadly and silently these exceptional people, who dotted on being stung by "Mister" Garvey, and who believed with the Mediavals that "the king can do no wrong" departed homeward with the knowledge that the widely heraled "mysteries" had proved impotent to prevent their Moses from making a trip to the "Promised Land" of Atlanta Penitentiary.
Judges Charge Eminently Fair
Early in the afternoon, "The Negro Times," which has been making its appearance with "irregular regularity" during the trial of Garvey and three of his associates, appeared on the streets with a headline declaring that Judge Mack's charge to the jury was a masterpiece of fairness. This headline was followed out by the body of the article, in which great praise was given the Judge and all concerned in the trial for the attitude of fairness and toleration displayed toward the defendants.
In summing up his case, Mr. Garvey acting as his own attorney said, in his dramatic spell-binding fashion that has separated forty thousand Negroes from their savings:
"I want no mercy, only justice—justice. I am no lawyer, I am ignorant of the law. My only concern is truth. I would not betray my struggling race if I did I should be thrown into the innermost depths of hell. If I am to be condemned for trying to uplift my race, so be it, my conscience is clear."
Mr. Garvey termed Government witnesses, who testified against him as crooks, sharks and sharps, who plotted, duped and robbed the Negro people of their money.
He said that hundreds of Wall Street firms had failed and that the Black Star Lines failed (meaning the million dollar loss investment) was only a drop in the bucket.
"Would the great God condemn a soul on the testimony of devils?" (as he termed the Government witnesses) asked Garvey?
"I have wronged no one, I have served my people and my God, I would fight and die for the freedom of the black race."
Assistant District Attorney Mattuck, in summing up for the Government, accused Garvey of betraying his race, of duping his associates and of conducting a swindle shop under the guise of the Black Star Line. If this was a spiritual movement, then Jessie James belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Both Sides Fighting for Personnel at Vets Hospital
PRESIDENT APPOINTS S. C. DEMOCRATS IN PREFERENCE TO COLORED CITIZEN ON D. C. RENT COMMISSION
President Harding just before leaving on his junket trip to Alaska and the West, lingered just long enough to put another crimp in the aspirations of local citizens desiring a voice in the local government. The President refused to appoint Attorney Thomas L. Jones on the District Rent Commission.
The colored citizens represent one-fourth of the District's population and are more concerned about high rents than any group here as they suffer more because of the scarcity of houses available for them to live in. They are the easy prey of the rent hogs.
Attorney Jones is a prominent and respected lawyer here and was endorsed by the entire colored population and by many influential whites, including the local white Bar Association.
The Rent Commission is now composed of five members. The President preferred to appoint a South Carolina Democrat than a local representative Negro.

OPERATION OF NEW RATING SYSTEM POSTPONED BECAUSE OF BITTER DISSATISFACTION
The public school teachers of Washington had their inning this week. Not only are they ending up their year's work and preparing for their vacations but they were informed Friday that "the decision to measure teaching efficiency on the basis of the curve of normal distribution," would be postponed for another year, thereby alleviating much anxiety and growing debates over the proposed "curve of normal distribution."
The normal curve distribution came up sometime ago with the idea of being installed into the system this year but finding it impractical at this time it has been deferred for another year according to the following communication from the assistant superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson:

5 YE hnel at Vet NEW RATING ONED BECAUSE SSATISFACTION
"In view of the interpretations placed upon the decision of the School officials of Divisions 10-13 to standardize teacher's ratings, and in view also of the earnest requests of individuals and representative groups of the teaching force that the whole question be postponed for consideration and "study" by the educational employees themselves, the rating officials of Divisions 10-13 agree that the action contemplated in the decision to measure "teaching efficiency on the basis of the curve of normal distribution, etc. be postponed."
The new ratings were accepted by the supervisers with one exception, but the mass of teachers who were to be affected failed to favorably accept the decision of the supervisors.

MOTON OFF AGAIN
Fails to Commit Himself in Speech in New York Church
(Special)
The New York "Amsterdam News" stated in its current issue that Dr. Moton in his first address since the hospital matter became a paramount issue, at the dedication of Abysinian Baptist Church, in New York City last Sunday afternoon, not only evaded the hospital matter, but charged that Negro physicians were incompetent. Dr. Moton stated he would issue a statement to the public soon.
The fight over the personnel at the Government's new two million dollar Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, continued through this week unabated.
A monster mass meeting was held here last Monday night at which time the public endorsed unanimously the stand taken by The Tribune in its fight for a Negro personnel. The meeting passed resolutions unalterably opposing a white personnel and went on record as being in favor of closing the hospital until the Veterans Bureau can register a sufficient number of physicians to completely man this hospital. The meeting Monday night was a spirited one and was attended by representatives of all walks of life. Many prominent in government circles were present, including Dr. J. R. Crossland of the Veterans Bureau and Special Assistant Perry W. Howard of the Department of Justice.
The speakers gave facts to show that the government was insincere at first about a colored personnel, as one speaker pointed out, if they had been sincere, a colored chief of staff would have been appointed last February instead of Col. R. H. Stanley, a white southerner. It was further pointed out that the Government only became concerned over a colored personnel after the press had began its fight. To prove this, a letter dated June 2nd addressed to the National Medical Association was produced. The letter came from the office of Dr. L. B. Rogers, Chief Medical Director of the Veterans Bureau and asked the Medical Association through a special committee to submit a list of experienced physicians qualified to fill position at the Tuskegee Hospital. Dr. Rogers' letter further stated that "as soon as you can secure qualified physicians the hospital can be manned by a complete colored staff."
The special committee representing the National Medical Association is composed of Dr. M. O. Dumas of this city; Dr. W. G. Alexander of Newark, N. J; and Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City.
While this committee was called in after the hospital was supposed to have been opened, one of the members stated that he thought they would be able to certify a complete list within a very short time.
At present there are at the Tuskegee Hospital 10 white doctors and 8 colored nurses. The bureau here denies that there are any white nurses there.
Dr. Rogers in his letters asked for 25 physicians divided as follows:
Commanding Officer of proved administrative experience and ability; 1 Executive Officer; 10 Tuberculosis Specialists; 10 Neuropsychiatric Specialists; 1 Roentgenologist; 1 Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist; 1 Operating Surgeon who is capable of handling the surgical and G. U. services.
Medical men here say they will have no trouble in findnig men for these positions with one exception and that is

If you do, you must use The Old East Indian Hair treatment and it will grow your nair long, straight and beautiful. If your hair is off on the sides, this treatment will restore it; if gray, this treatment will turn it dark; if harsh and kinky, this treatment will make it straight, smooth and glossy. There's nothing on the market that equals it. It is indeed a wonderful hair grower.
The Tonic is the principal hair grower. Its herbs are imported from abroad and contain the greatest hair growing properties of any treatment on the market. Don't waste another minute with fake treatments, go to your druggist and get you The Old East Indian Hair Treatment: Shampeo Tonics, and Pressing Oil, and Pomades. Be sure you get the Old East Indian Hair Treatment, and don't let them push some other Indian goods on you, to do you harm. Look out for imitations. If your hair dresser don't have it, get it and apply it yourself. Price by mail: Tonic 75c, pomade 25c, shampoo 25c, pressing oil 50c, postage 10 cents extra. Send all mail orders to Dr. McGuire's Drug Store, You and 9th Sts., N. W., Washington, D. C.
The degrees were conferred by Dr. Gilbert P. Brown, president of the college, and Dr. Ethel G. Wood, its registrar, two of the trustees.
This science is making marked progress among our people. There are over 20,000 practitioners in these United States and foreign countries. The following states have legalized the practice of chiropractic: Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Connecticut, Vermont, Washington, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Maryland, Arizona, Iowa, New Mexico, South Dakota Oklahoma, Mississippi, New Hampshire Georgia, Nevada, Maine, California, and Utah.
The school was tastefully and appropriately decorated, for which much credit is due Professor James H Cowan, A. B., of the Dunbar High Among the several busts that graced the platform was that of Frederick Douglass, in honor of one of the graduates, Professor Haley C. Douglas, of Dunbar High.
The college is located at 1914 7th Street Northwest, where it has a large enrollment and many friends in our midst predict for Dr. Brown and his co-workers a prosperous future for bringing the science to our people.

Mrs. McAdoo visited last week-end the camp at Arundel, which she thus describes: The charming new building of bungalow type which is situated on a knoll in a dense forest of sweet scented pine trees overlooking the Bay, is within a short distance of the large screened-in porch there is an unbroken view of woods and water full of inspiration for the poetic and artistic genius latent in our young women. The girls and women who will be fortunate enough to spend a week or two at this camp will come back to the city invigorated for the fall work. Mrs. McAdoo is Secretary, and several delegates leave Saturday for the conference at Cheyney next week.
Mrs. Cabanis and the library committee gave a most delightful musical in the gymnasium last week.
Mrs. Gregoria Goins' two musical recitals in the social hall were very good and well attended. The musicians in the "W" buildings are Miss Hannah C. Smith, a Y. W. C. A. secretary, and Mrs. J. H. N. Waring of Downingtown, Pa.
Mrs. Thompson says: "Last, but not least important, the membership social on next 'Thursday night' at which time Miss Estelle Pinkney will present her pupils in a musical recital at 8 p. m. Johnson assisting. Membership and public are cordially invited to attend.
Mr. J. M. Avery, vice-president and secretary of the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company, spent a few days in the city en route to the, commencement at Wilberforce, Ohio. He paid a very pleasant visit to the editor and gave a glowing report of fraternal and business activities of the race in the Old North State.
William A. Buckner, trainer of the Chicago White Sox, dropped in Sunday and paid his respects.
THE CHIROPRACTIC GRADUA TION.
Fully one thousand persons attended the third annual graduation of The Central Chiropractic College at the auditorium of the Dunbar High School, on the evening of June 14.
The principal speaker of the evening was Professor Garnett C. Wilkinson, A. B. LL, B., assistant superintendent of schools. The audience was extremely pleased with the manner in which Mr. Wilkinson handled his subject. He impressed upon his hearers the importance of this most unique science, reminding them the percentage of healers is inadequate to serve humanity.
Others speaking along scientific lines were Drs. Ethel G. Wood and William H. Beck. Dr. Isaac Cupid and Professor Henry L. Grant pleasingly entered the audience with the musical features. The invocation and benediction were delivered by the Reverend Lewis C. Sheafe and Charles A. Thompson. The ushers were of the class of 1924.
The graduating committee were: Dr. Roger M. Holland, chairman; Dr. Moses W. Howard, Dr. Myrtle O. Kerrick, Dr. James E. Young, Dr. Jesse W. Greene, Dr. Marie H. W. Rubel, Dr. James H. Cowan, Dr. James H. Wash-

Don't Scatter Your Dollars
Seeds cast to a whirlwind will give you "distribution"—but that's no way to grow a crop.
Plant your advertising seeds in abundant, concentrated local circulation—the newspapers that go to and are read in homes—and you reap an abundant harvest.
The newspaper that has effective concentrated local circulation has it because it enjoys reader-confidence and reader-interest. It has local INFLUENCE and STANDING. Influence and standing constitute the fulcrum of which advertising is the lever. And a fulcrum must be LOCAL—close to the object to be moved—or it is nothing. Try it on your next "lift" and see.
The nearly 6,000 weekly circulation of The Washington Tribune—essentially a home circulation—concentrated 99 per cent in Washington and its suburbs is, perhaps, the nearest approach to complete weekly newspaper "saturation" attained in any of the great single markets of the world.
That advertisers recognize and profit by this unusual condition is attested by the consequent fact that, year in and year out, the volume of advertising printed in The Washington Tribune is repeated.
The Washington Tribune's readers want, everything any other patriotic group of Americans want. They have money to spend and they spend it with local merchants. Their wants include everything the merchant has on his shelf. If you want to sell to these people, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE is the only medium you need.

Ben Taylor will take his hired men into Baltimore Sunday to engage the Black Sox in a double header at Maryland Park. Manager Taylor faces a stiff proposition for the Black Sox are apparently growing better as the sun gets hotter. Since the acquisition of Clarke, Cooper, Carter and Ramirez from the Richmond Giants and Kemp from Philadelphia the Black Sox is a greatly improved team.
The Potomac will not lack for support Sunday for hundreds of local fans are going to make the trip to Baltimore by various means. It was first planned to charter a special W. B. & A. car but the idea was abandoned after it was found out that the service would not be any cheaper or better.
The Potomac have managed to break even on the road which might be termed a prosperous voyage considering the many injuries and handicaps experienced.
The Potomac's pitching staff forced through an overtaxing ordeal faltered pitifully. Ross has been the only consistent winner. Albrritten has shown class but hard luck seemingly follows him. Carr is beginning to show his old-time form.
Just who Manager Taylor will send to the start against the Black Sox is problematical. Ross is almost cer-

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. JUNE 23. 1923
SPORT CHATTER By H. Scott
The sporting public was taken off its feet last February when the news flashed around the country that Ben Taylor was putting a professional baseball team in Washington. Always a popular individual in the Eastern, as well as, Western circuit, Taylor's new venture was greeted with overwhelming joy in all sections.
Those that knew Ben felt that he was one person capable of putting the national pastime over here.
The Potomacs made their first home stand in a world of glory and at the end of the home stay the team, right off the reel, became quite as popular on the road.
Although working under the handicap of booking late, Taylor has never suffered for the want of games. Few cities in the East successfully support baseball on days other than Saturdays, Sundays and holidays—yet the Potomacs have averaged about six games each week since leaving home.
No longer than last Sunday Manager Taylor was forced to turn down three offers for games.
The real surprise however has been the drawing power of the practically new aggregation. In every city visited so far, the "pride of Washington" has played before record crowds. Older and longer established nine haves in numerous instances failed to approach the Taylormen as a gate attraction.
The recent releases of the Ranking Committee of the American Tennis Association has caused quite a bit of stir in certain circles. While the Committee's tardiness in making the data public has been the chief criticism more than one sports writer and critic have voiced their disapproval of the ratings. We have been informed however, by an official of the James E. Walker Tennis Club, our local tennis body, that the Committee worked under an extreme difficulty without real authentical information on which to rate. A new system will be in vogue this season it is claimed whereby each club will submit a full report on the tournament play by its members. This data together with the Committee's findings will determine further rankings.
Trailing the Potomacs
Manager Taylor is a much dreaded person at bat these days. He has been intentionally passed in nearly every game. The team has averaged about one double play a game since the opening day. Lewis has been out the game with a bad wound on his elbow. The team has missed his timely clouting. Taylor's outfielders Woods and Jefferson and pitchers Ross, Carr and Albrritten are the only members of the squad who have escaped the hospital list since training season. Elias Brown, the Potomac outfielder who wrenched his knee in the Bacharach series and was out the game for a month is now in a Philadelphia hospital having injured his knee two days after rejoining the team.
GERMANTOWN RALLY TO WIN
Philadelphia, June 19—The Potomacs drapped a close game to the Germantown club, 13 to 10. The locals overcame a 5-run lead by bunching hits with bases on balls. Baruss' drive In the sixth won the three hits each.
POTOMACS WIN IN 12 ROUNDS
Atlantic City, N.J., June 15—The few who gathered at Bacharach Park saw a highly interesting overtime contest in which Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs nosed out the Ricmond Giants in the twelfth inning; score 5 to 4.
It was Eggleston's clout to center that brought home Jefferson for the deciding marker. Jefferson had previously doubled to left and reached third when Garfield bungled Woods' grounder. Ben Taylor was purposefully walked in order to take a chance on Eggleston, but the latter came through with the necessary blow. The run came after two men had been retired.

HILLDALE DEFEAT LINCOLNS
IN CLOSE GAME
Philadelphia, Penn. June 16—The big war clubs carried by Captain John Henry Lloyd and "Biz" Mackey was responsible for the three-to-two victory over the Lincoln Giants of New York in an Eastern Colored League game here today. Red Ryan also featured with his airtight relief pitching, relieving Lee in the ninth with two men on the bags and none out, and succeeded in retiring the Giants without a score. Singer hit into a double play in their half of the ninth. Hildale won out, when Lloyd, first up doubled after Santop had flied out to J. Thomas, Mackey singled sharply to left field and Lloyd scampered over the plate with the winning run. The Giants had scored two in their half of the 7th, when with two men on the bags Hudspeth tripled to left field scoring both runners, but was left stranded as Lee got the next three men in order. Before "Smoky" Joe Williams could get properly started, Hildale had scored two runs.
Bridge being hit, sacrificed to second by Warfield and scored when Lloyd banged out a double. Thomas then grounded out to Williams but Mackey came through with a triple scoring Lloyd. No further scoring was done by either team until Hildale won out in their half of the ninth as related above. Wilson made a spectacular catch of a liner from the bat of G. Johnson in the seventh falling over the bleachers as he made the catch. The score:

Three thousandermine were required to make a new gown for Gloria Swanson. Only the tails of the animals were used in this new style creation, which is an entirely original idea and a unique innovation in dress. The gown is worn by Miss Swanson in the last sequence of her new starring vehicle, "My American Wife," a Sam Wood production for Paramount, which comes to the Broadway Theatre next Sunday. Miss Swanson was so delighted with the new creation that after finishing with it for her work in the picture she purchased it for her own personal wardrobe. The gown is valued at $25,000.
"THE ISLE OF LOST SHIPS" TALE
OF STRANGE REGION
"The Isle of Lost Ships," a Maurice Tourneur production to be shown at the Lincoln Theatre, beginning Sunday is a fascinating tale of a legendary spot known to mariners as the Sargasso Sea, to which, during the ages, all manner of vessels, from the pirates' galleons that rode the Spanish main to the liner, only just reported missing by Lloyds, have been drawn.
At this strange "island of ships," after weeks of drifting, three survivors of a shipwreck find a port. Here amid the miles of accumulated wreckage, the trio—a condemned murderer, his captor, a dective, and a young society girl—find a strange community of castaways. This strange people lack for nothing, for each new wreck brings in treasures of every description. They are ruled by an arrogant brute. The cast includes Milton Sills, Anna Q. Nilsson, Frank Campeau and Walter Long.

Those present were instructed to submit a roster of their players with their ages which should not exceed 17 years. It was not determined whether the series would be restricted to six or eight clubs. The teams will compete for the city junior championship and a handsome trophy is to be awarded to the winner by the Tribune. Another meeting of the junior team representatives will be held Monday, June 25 at 6:30 o'clock at the Tribune office. All local junior teams are expected to have a representative present.

The white man has his business and industrial enterprises and his child readily finds employment. With us it is different. We have but precious few enterprises, not only here in Washington, but throughout the country; and cannot begin to absorb all of the graduates from the Washington schools.

The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., announced recently that it would carry the Curtis case to the Supreme Court and that "A special fund for the fight is being raised by the Association, and the appeal is being prepared to make a test case on the issues involved."
To fight "the case on the issues involved" is perfectly all right. But to make the injunction against Mrs. Helen Curtis a race issue is a mistake and to ask the public to donate funds to fight the case is a big blunder on the part of some one. The injunction against Mrs. Helen Curtis only affects Mrs. Helen Curtis and that particular injunction does not affect the race at all.
Dr. Emmett J. Scott purchased and is now living in one of the houses said to be in the "covenant." The injunction against Mrs. Curtis is not a race issue but a personal one, and the public should not be asked to donate to a fund to fight a personal injunction.
There is an existing covenant of fifteen or twenty white persons who covenanted among themselves, not to sell their property to colored people. To prevent a colored person from purchasing and living in one of these houses, some one of the covenanters must secure a personal injunction against the purchaser. But if the purchaser can buy the house and get the deed on record and move into the house before the papers enjoining him are served, the injunction is of no effect. Such was the case with Dr. Scott, he made his purchase, recorded his deed and had his furniture moved into the house before the injunction could be served upon him and it has not been served. Recorder of Deeds A. G. Froe also lives in that same block as well as several other colored families.
The public should not be asked by the local N. A. A. C. P. to raise a fund for which there is not justifiable cause.

A Symphony Orchestra in Washington Ably Discussed by Wesley I. Howard of the University Conservatory
In an article teeming with facts and logic Wesley I. Howard, instructor of violin, Howard University Conservatory comes out with a striking appeal for the organization of a symphony orchestra composed of colored performers which according to his statement is highly practical and possible
An organization of this character as stated by the writer, calls for financial support and the editor of the "Forum" will pledge five dollars with nineteen other charitable citizens to make the initial $100 promoting it. Who will pledge another five dollars? We will accept all contributions towards the movement and acknowledge same in this column. The organization would commence in the month of October, this year, and persons interested are requested to communicate with us. Better still, if 100 persons would contribute one dollar each, a larger interest would be created in the movement. Anyway, we desire to raise the complete amount during summer. Mr. Howard's article follows:
"Colored musicians in Washington are probably unaware of the fact that there is a symphony orchestra scattered about in the schools, theatres, and homes, waiting to be organized and developed. Few colored orchestra have been developed along symphonic lines, mainly because a symphony orchestra must be a local organization, and at the same time a large one of not less than twenty-five pieces, containing twelve different instruments. Any fewer than that would not be entitled to recognition as a symphonic orchestra. To find the necessary instruments and performers, then, is the first thing to be done. Washington can furnish more than the required number, as the following will show.
"The soul of an orchestra is in the string section, made up of violins, violas, 'cellos and basses.
"The violins are divided into two sections, called first violin and second violin. The writer knows sixteen violinists, nine of whom could play first violin, one viola player, two 'cellists, and one bass player. There are twenty to begin with, and the whole string choir of four parts are included.
"Next is the wood wind section. There are two flutists, four clarinetists, one oboe player, and one bassoon player in Washington, although the writer is not sure that the bassoon player is colored. Not counting him, there are seven players for the wood wind choir.
"The brass section includes cornets, trombones, French horns, and tubas. There is a full supply and some to spare in Washington, but not more tras have been developed along symphony orchestra.
"The percussion section requires three drummers,—one kettle drum one for snare drum, and one for bass drum. Trap drums won't do. Add to this number four saxophones and a piano, though neither are used in symphonic works, but may be used here in the absence of a full quota of violas and 'cellos, and you have an orchestra which can be trained until it deserves the name of being the only colored symphony orchestra in existence. Forty-five players in symphonic concert! What would it mean?
"It would mean that by way of preparation, some two or three people with the ability to organize and finance a thing of that kind had taken enough interest in colored Washing-
ton to get the musicians together once a week, pay for the season's rehearsals (less than a hundred dollars, including cost of music) and promote the concerts. The concerts would more than pay for the season's expenses.
"It would mean that by way of preparation, the musicians had given up two hours each week to attend rehearsals, and while attending had made themselves students of the art of orchestral playing. Also that every player, though exceptionally good individually, had learned to drop his individuality and obey the baton. The average colored player has little or no respect for the baton after the first note has been played. The leaders of colored orchestras, bands, choirs, and glee clubs, who direct with the baton, are usually forced to 'follow the crowd' rather than lead it. The writer has even seen cases where the performers had a contemptible attitude toward their director. In a symphony orchestra, players of that sort, no matter how expert, would soon learn better, or be forced out of the organization.
"It would mean that colored musicians of Washington had learned that which nearly all good white musicians and very few of our colored experts seem to know; viz., that more discipline is required in music (especially in an orchestra) than in anything else, including the army.
"Last, but not least, it would mean that people like Clarence White, Joseph Douglass, Eugene Martin, Antionette Garnes, Florence Cole Talbert, Hazel Harrison, and others could be brought to Washington as soloists to sing or play with orchestra accompaniment. The test of a soloist is a performance with orchestra accompaniment. The test of an orchestra is in the playing of accompaniments.
"The people of Washington spend from fifty cents to five dollars a lesson learning to sing or to play. Unless the pupil can leave Washington, or pass for white, it isn't worth the money, especially for those who take music seriously. Barred as we are from white theatres and concert halls, with very few exceptions, our colored music students are one-sided in their musical education because they cannot hear and see enough grand opera, and hear enough grand orchestra music.
"While on this subject it may be well enough to mention that, far from being impracticable, both comic opera and symphony orchestra have been undertaken successfully in Washington during the past season. 'The Mikado' was twice given with success. Those who missed seeing and hearing it missed something very much worth while in more ways than one. There is more and better talent in Washington, however, than was offered in 'The Mikado,' for these performers were all students. An orchestra of nearly forty players, also students, gave three public concerts with much success, playing a Mozart symphony, Egmont Overture by Beethoven, and the accompaniment to the Mendelssohn Concerto for violin. More and better talent could be found in the city, as has been shown.
"In Washington, the success of a musical affair should not be determined by the attendance, which is usually poor no matter how good the performance. Those who can pass for white usually attempt to prove it when they compare our feeble but honest efforts with the finished performances of the world's best which they attended instead, on the same night. The rest of us, lacking, it seems, either the knowledge of what is good, or enough nerve to indorse it, or both, fail to support anything not indorsed by our white reporters and friends.
"Roland Hayes sang better years ago than he does now. His Washington audiences, except for his last two concerts, were small. Someone had the good sense to present him to a white audience, and lo! the colored people flocked to hear him. He sang before the King of England, came again to Washington, and crowds who had been unable to obtain seats lingered outside until the program was half over.
"The concert, in the writer's estimation, was one of the shortest and poorest Mr. Hayes has ever given. The estimation is based upon nearly ten years of association with Mr. Hayes in concert work.
"Salome' was a failure here until a white critic wrote it up. Before the write-up some of the colored audiences were inclined to hiss it, and not a few, it is said, wanted their money back. When it was learned through the press that white people were coming to see it, the cream of Washington's colored society filled the house for weeks afterward. "So in Washington an artistic affair can be a huge success artistically if properly promoted by its citizenry. Let us hope that Washingtonians will soon wake up along artistic lines."

EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE
A Study in Interpretation
By
AN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY
FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY
"AFRICA," GROUP, NEW YORK CITY
"Africa is on the extreme right, near the Battery Park. As a dark and unexplored continent, the genius, whose lower limbs are covered with a robe, has her head bent in a somber dream. Eyes, mouth and hands hint of lassitude and discouragement. She rests one elbow on the head of a lion, with the hand clenched on her knee, knuckles downward, while the other arm rests loosely on the granite sphinx of Egypt. Behind her crouches, deeply enveloped in a mantle, a figure that expresses the mystery of the deserts and the unexplored recesses of Africa's primeval forests.
"It is as if the sculptor, an early admirer and portraitist of the sage of Concord, had meant to suggest that Africa, not awake, but on the eve of change, still struggles with a troublesome vision. Were bits of one of Emerson's finest poems floating thru his mind?
While they slumbered and slept"
There is considerable more regarding these groups, and all of it shows discernment and good taste. But toward the end of the article, DeKay goes into a defense of the sculptor against anticipated criticisms. He says:
"In the groups here shown the sculptor has held a middle path be
Africa (side view) New York City Daniel C. French, Sculptor
This paragraph is a curious mixture of unwarranted assumption and mistaken inference. Why should he assume that people will object to the sculptor's purported failure to do what there was no call for him to do? Why should we expect the sculptor or any one else to single out the "East Indians" as sole representatives of Asia? or the Berbers as typical of Africa? If the sculptor actually had done any of these things, it is conceivable that some sort of defense of his action might be made; but it seems far-fetched to assume that anybody will criticise him for not taking such liberties.
Mr. DeKay's defense against anticipated criticisms of the sculpter's "middle path" in the matters of accessories and symbolism, is more reasonable. There is some ground for anticipating criticism, or perhaps an expression of a different preference, as to these matters; though personally, I think that his middle course here was happily chosen; and in my opinion, the consistent yet discriminating manner in which Mr. French has pursued his chosen course, displays exceptional intelligence, skill, and taste. The minor exception which I have presumed to note, appears to me to be merely a brief "falling away" from the course, or, if you choose, a brief steering to one side to avoid a supposed "snag."
The really unfortunate features of Mr. DeKay's supererogatory defense are his acerbity and almost self-opinioned dogmatism. It is scarcely necessary that he should say that "the sculptor steered a course that suited him"; and it is going entirely

By Daniel C. French
"The Sphinx is drowsy, Her wings are furled,
Her ear is heavy,
She broods on the world.
I awaited the seer
"in the groups sculptor has held a tween realism and extreme symbolism. One observer may object that the faces of Asia and her attendants are not types of East Indians; another may not like even so much attention to Oriental figures and accessories as the group shows. One critic may call for a Berber, Abyssinian or negro type or touch in features and form of Africa, while another reents such obvious symbols as sphinx and lion. The sculptor, however, has steered a course that suits him and will suit those whose appreciation is worth while."
too far, to say that the chosen course "will suit those whose appreciation is worth while." It is doubtful whether Mr. French needs or desires such defenses. But, be that as may, I for one, give full assent to DeKay's last statement concerning these groups. He says: "Certainly they are worthy of prolonged study. They are the strongest work of one our greatest sculptors." At the risk of appearing to be ungracious, I am constrained at this point to press a further consideration of certain ideas that have been discussed under French's group and have been averted to under other figures.
There is no denying that as things appear to go among colored people in America, any artist has a fairly good right to suppose that "we" do put some premium on approximations to the physical features of Caucasians. Confessedly, the reason behind this apparent preference are somewhat beyond my ken, but I do not believe they are solely what, superficially, they appear to be. And often where there is a superficial appearance of such preference, intimate knowledge of all the facts fails to confirm its existence. In the few cases where there is little or no doubt of its existence, it is generally tracable to triviality of character or to a supposed expediency; but we know that expediency is not based on preference. In any case, high and serious art should refuse it recognition; for it is neither worthy nor representative. It has no higher claim to recognition than have excessive prudery, religious bigotry, racial or class arrogance, or any other of the preferences, prejudices, and pretexts, born of shallowness, cant and pretense.
At the same time, it should be
borne in mind that, though we may concede wide licenses, what is fundamentally needed in Art is not so much rigid literalness, as high purposed seriousness; not stupid indifference, but sympathetic sincerity; not narrow exactness, but broad truth: remembering also, and always, that it demands more and higher courage—and courage guided by intelligence—to show true culture, than to follow convention; to be ungrudgingly just, than to be merely charitable. And, for those who are in real need, it requires even a higher courage, and at least as much intelligence, to rise above expediency and insist on justice, when there is being tendered benevolence backed by good intentions.
Let us, nevertheless, without fear, say to the artsits—and to ourselves as well—what Mrs. Browning said to the poet—
"Truth is fair: should we forego it? Can we sigh right for a wrong God Himself is the best Poet, And the Real is His song. Sing His truth out fair and full, And secure His beautiful. Let Pan be dead.*
"Truth is large. Our aspiration Scarce embraces half we be. Shame! to stand in His creation And doubt Truth's sufficiency!—To think God's song unexcelling The poor tales of our own telling—When Pan be dead."

What is lovely, what is pure—

COLONEL YOUNG'S FUNERAL
(Prize Letter)
Dear Editor: Having participated in the funeral procession of Colonel Charles Young, I can tell something of the procession. I was in the 24th Regiment of High School Cadets, in Company "A" of Dunbar High School. I think the Negroes of Washington could have paid no better tribute to a great man of our race than they did Friday, June 1, 1923. All along the line of march were crowds of people and school children—even in the stands erected for "Shrine Week."
The funeral procession was of great length and very impressive. I think that almost everybody who could take part in the procession did so to do honor at the funeral of a great man of our race and the highest ranking colored man in the United States Army. I was greatly impressed with the ceremonies at Arlington, and I was glad I had the privilege of taking part in the funeral procession of so great a man as Colonel Charles Young. LAWRENCE A. TRIMMER.
OUR LAST WORD: "Good By"
(Revised)
We are the graduates of Mott '23—
The very school on this spot—
We hate to leave you but we must,
Our time is up, and life is just,
Our work in grammar school is thru
And in the high school we are due.
We will go there and do our best,
To strive to keep up with the rest,
Who've left this dear old school be-
hind:
They've held its name up and always
will
Glorify each teacher's name,
Who has struggled to give us
An education, and a graduation the
same
As they received on one bright June's
day.
Eight long years have some of us tar-
ried at this school.
With frowns and smiles we tried to keep its rules.
Our teachers' tongues often repeated, "Tex, again."
Try again;
So when a problem we would heed
We would try hard to succeed;
This is the motto that has brought
This is the motto that has brought us to-day
Far enough to start us on our way.
Now we are graduates going forth—
God bless us every one;—
To try to run this stubborn world,
Just as it should be run.
But, much I fear we'll find that facts
Don't all agree with dreams,
And running this old stubborn world
Is not as easy as it seems.
We graduates are prone to think
Our wisdom is complete;
We need but ask—the world will lay
It's trophies at our feet.
But school days done and work begun
We learn to our regret,
That in the school of life we have Much to master yet.
Our friends give garlands and applause At graduating time,
But may forget us the next day When we attempt to climb.
Life is a battle where each one Must seek and hold his own,
He who would rise above the clouds Must scale the heights alone.

CONCERNING TWO NEGROES
The New York "Nation," a weekly publication, frequently carries articles of interest pertaining to the race.
It has a policy of helping, and of fighting for, the under dog. When Mexico, Haiti, Turkey, Russia, the Jew or the Negro needs fair treatment or any of them do things worthy of favorable comment—the "Nation" lets it be known. When they need encouragement or counsel, the "Nation" attempts to give it.
One of the departments in this paper appears under the heading, "In the Driftway." The Drifter (the writer of the column) in the issue of June 13th says:
"Ordinarily the Drifter has no fault to find with his colleagues, and as a rule he approves of The Nation; but every now and then some news of moment seems entirely to escape the attention of the estimable editors, and when that happens the Drifter feels a certain responsibility in the matter. Some of these recent neglected bits of information have been heart-warming. For example a card to the Drifter says:
"A few days ago at the Institute of Musical Art, five candidates for the Artists diploma in piano-playing played before a jury which consisted of Harold Bauer, Wilhelm Bachaus, and Ernest Hutcheson. I know you will be interested to know that of the four winners of the diploma Miss Sanoma Talley, a colored girl received the highest mark by the jury, who consider Miss Talley a most conspicuous piano talent and a musical personality of genuine distinction.
"The Drifter need not say that he was glad to hear about Miss Talley, and he was equally pleased with the story of Albert Morgan, of Chicago who after fifty years of service with Wilson Brothers of that city received with the affectionate wishes of his fellow-employees, a gold watch and chain and enough money for an extra vacation. Such gifts from co-workers are not unprecedented; but Albert, too, is colored and his co-workers are not, and that is much more unusual."
THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW
The closing of the school year finds Shaw Junior High presenting an exceptionally good edition of its publication "The Junior High School Review."
The stories are well told, and the drawings are good.
We are glad to note the number of Tribunens who contributed to the literary department of the Review. Perhaps this may prepare them for editorship of high school or college papers, or for a college year book.
The following story is published because of its interesting news value.
A Visit to the Home of Frederick Douglass
On Wednesday, February 14th, Miss Popel with a number of pupils visited the Douglass home, on Cedar Hill in Anacostia. There we saw many interesting things.
The lady who takes care of the house conducted us first to the Douglass library where we saw his desk, hats, typewriter; pictures of Abraham Lincoln and of his first and second wives. There were also many other things which were arranged just as they were when he used them.
From the library we went to his sitting room where we registered. The thing that interested us most was a framed copy of a speech made by John Brown just before he was sentenced to death. In the next room there were three large bronze plates on which were engraved the names of any one person, or number of persons, who gave twenty-five dollars or more, in order to keep up the Douglass Home. We were then taken to the museum. There we saw his silver, violins, diaries, newspapers, and canes. There was a cane which had a white pearl handle. This was Lincoln's favorite
cane. After the President's death it was presented to Douglass by Mrs. Lincoln.
The last room shown to us was Douglass' bedroom. There we saw his old-fashioned bed and bureau. Everything was arranged as it was during his lifetime.
When we left that day, every one felt that he had been very much benefited by the trip.

Don't say "nigger."
AN OLD GAME
By Mrs. Lucille L. Davis
There is lots of fun in old games. Games change from year to year the same as styles in clothes.
The following is an old game which you have never played. It is full of fun. It is called "The Dutch Concert" and is played as follows:
All parties sit down.
Each person makes a selection of a musical instrument—say one takes a flute, another a drum, a third a trombone, one a piano, or harp, or fiddle, and each person must imitate the way his instrument is played and the sound of the instrument.
The leader of the band (the person who first suggests this game) commencing with his instrument, plays popular airs such as 'Yankee Doodle,' "Home Sweet Home," or any other song, and all the other players join in.
The fun consists in this, that the leader may take any instrument from any player, exchanging his own. The exchanged instruments must be correctly imitated in method of playing and in sound.
If the leader is clever he can cause much confusion by demanding an instrument suddenly.
When a player fails to imitate correctly he pays forfeit. Or if he makes a mistake, and takes the wrong instrument, he pays forfeit.
Suppose A be the leader, playing the violin, and B to be one of the band, playing the trombone: directly A ceases to play the violin and imitates the trombone, B must cease the trombone, and imitate the violin, and immediately A returns to the violin, B must take the trombone (or whatever other instrument A was playing the moment before he took B's instrument.)
This is a very laughable though rather noisy game. It should not be continued too long.
PLANS FOR MY VACATION
What do you intend to do this summer? Are you going to visit friends in the country, or are you going to some other city for two or three weeks? Perhaps you intend to stay home. Write a letter telling of your plans for this summer's vacation. Just write a letter in your own way, using your own words, just as you would do in telling it to a friend.

YOU
By Mr. J. Stephen Agenor
You!
You are
What you are
Because
You can not be
Anything else
And be yourself
In the people's eyes.
So be good.
Be honest.
Be true.
Be careful.
Be patient.
Be cheerful.
Then whatever happens
To you, this side of Heaven,
Most men and women will say:
"He's made of pure clay."
To hear that is grand,
Fit for any man;
When death comes knocking
At your door,
You can smile, look the world
In the face, and say:
"Father, I am ready to go."

Prof. Carver
Has Developed 165 By- and 115 of Swed
New York City, June 14—The Spingarn Medal, awarded annually for the most distinguished achievement by an American citizen of African descent, goes to Dr. George Washington Carver, of Tuskegee Institute, for 1922, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The award was made by a committee composed of: Bishop John Hurst, chairman: Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Dr. James H. Dillard; Oswald Garrison Villard; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois; Dorothy Canfield Fisher and Dr. John Hope.
The medal is awarded to Dr. Carver: "in consideration of his services in agricultural chemistry, his recent recognition by a British Royal Society, and for lectures on agriculture during the last year before white and colored audiences, particularly in the South, where his clear thought and straightforward attitude have greatly increased interracial knowledge and respect."
Dr. Carver's achievements include developing 165 by-products of the peanut and 115 of the sweet potato; mak-

He also devised a dressing for canvass shoes, and white and colored washes from clay; used okra fibre for paper, rope cordage, straw matting and carpet, and made 20 varieties of laundry bluing. Dr. Carver appeared before a Senate Sub-Committee in 1921, taking hearings on the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill and startled them with his wonderful array of exhibits of articles made from peanuts and sweet potatoes.

BOTH SIDES FIGHTING FOR PERSONNEL
(Continued from page 1)
the 10 neuropsychiatric specialists. Neuropsychiatric is the treating of mental, shell shock and nerve cases.
There are very few such specialists among either race stated one well informed local physician and he further stated that the only way the bureau has been able to get white specialists, was to make up special classes and train them at government expense; such classes have regularly held here at St. Elizabeth Hospital.
This physician further said, the colored doctors are not asking for any special favors, but are asking for the same chance as given the white doctors and if the Republicans intend to play fair, they will see that they get the same opportunity.
That the government has been badly advised in matters pertaining to the hospital is attested to by the recent announcement that the Peoples
Kentucky Girl Held in Peonage in Jersey City, New Jersey
Jersey City, N. J., June 14—Rumor that a fifteen-year-old colored girl had been brought from Kentucky to Jersey City, and was being held in peonage, reached the Jersey City Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recently, and a committee was promptly appointed to investigate, by Dr. George E. Cannon, president of the branch. The committee was composed of Mrs. Anna Seaverns, Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas and Miss Ann Harper
During the investigation, the girl became ill, and was removed to the City Hospital. From the hospital the girl was taken into the home of Mrs. Seaverns. The girl, Anna Belle Wilder, then appeared before the Jersey City N. A. A. C. P. in the Lafayette Presbyterian Church and thanked the Association for her release, saying:
Undertaking firm of Macon, Ga. colored, has been finally awarded the contract to take charge of those who may die at the hospital; this was done after recending the previous order issued over a week ago giving this contract to a white undertaker in Greenville. S. C.
While no definite announcement has come from the Veterans Bureau about the personnel, Dr. Rogers' letter is taken here to mean that colored doctors will soon be appointed to this hospital. The only question now seems to be the time. There is an unconfirmed rumor here that colored will go in the hospital on July 1st.
However, the whites of the south, under the leadership of State Senator R. S. Powell of Tuskegee, are determined to fight to the bitter end for a white personnel. In an interview given out to the Associated Press last Saturday at Tuskegee, Powell said: "the government will be breaking faith with the people of Tuskegee if Negro physicians are sent here, for the Treasury Department promised the people before the hospital was erected that white officials and physicians would be in charge before land was donated, and the hospital was constructed upon such guarantee from the government. The result of such action by the government will prove serious, even disastrous. I fear it will mean failure of the hospital to serve its purpose."
A definite decision on the future course of the hospital is expected soon.

Humphry that he was coming North and wanted to take me. He said I could finish my schooling here. But since coming here I have not been allowed to go to the public school or Sunday School. I had to get up at 6 a.m., attend to the baby, cook breakfast, wash and iron, run errands and do other work, and retired about 11 or 12 at night. I have slept on the floor for over a year.
