ONE KILLED IN Y. M. C. A. RIOT Fight For Negro Personnel Given Set-back as Whites, Led by Tom Heflin Issue Protest First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3. No. 7 ONE Fight For Neg Given Set- by Will we or will we not have colored doctors at the head, and in charge of the new two-million dollar Government Hospital for the treatment of World War soldiers located at Tuskegee? This question is more burning now then ever before, because just as the Veterans Bureau was preparing to name a Negro staff, the white Shouth lead by Govenor Brandon of Alabama, State Senator Powell of Tuskegee, and U. S. Senator Tom Heflin of Alabama, stepped in. They made such a howl that Director Walter Hines stopped everything until further notice. Mr. Hines says he is going down to Tuskegee within a few days to investigate before he will make a final decision. He says, "I will go down there and face the opposition." However, the saying that every dark cloud has its silvery lining is apparently true in this case. Notwithstanding the fact that Director Hines stopped qualifying men for the hospital until he could investigate, he also was frank enough to say that he has been surprised at the facility with which the Veterans Bureau has been able to get competent Negro doctors. "The National Medical Association," he said, "has been untiring in its efforts to aid the Bureau in the selection of efficient doctors." This, coming from Director Hines, absolutely disapproves the statement made in the quarters of the skeptical that competent doctors could not be found. This statement also substantiates the contention of The Tribune, which has been one of few to unhesitatingly contend that a full corps of Negro doctors could be had if once the Government would come out and ask for them. Not only has this doubt been expressed in white quarters, but a number of Negroes have been led to believe that the race could not furnish enough qualified men. It seems like the masses of Negroes are unfortunately misinformed. Many think Negroes are now in charge of the hospital and that everything has been settled, while the truth is just to the contrary. The white people of the South are making a most stubborn fight to keep Negroes out of this hospital, and unless the Negroes put up as good or a better fight, they most certainly will lose out. It was reported from Tuskegee this week that two colored dentists had arrived there. Other Negro doctors, including the colored Chief of Staff, were to follow as soon as they could close up their affairs at home. Hope is still maintained however, that Director Hines will be able to bring order out of the present chaos and that a full staff of Negro physicians will be sent down there to completely man the hospital. While the hospital officially opened June 1st, there are practically no patients there. The hospital has not begun to actually function. Colonel Stanley of Greenville, Ala., (white) who was appointed head of the hospital last February, was in Washington all last week and had several conferences with Dr. Rogers and Director Hines relative to the hospital. He returned to Tuskegee Sunday, but what his plans for the future are, are now known. Grand Masonic Refr The Washington Tribune Admission to Pavilion --- 45 Cents.

Published Weekly Jim Crow Orders Issued By Register of Treasury Speelman Register of the Treasury Speelman, according to an unconfirmed report, issued orders Thursday through Dr. Alphonso Harris, head of the Colored division in the building, segregating the white and colored women workers in the lavatories and also moving the colored workers to the rear of the room behind partitions. While this alleged order it is claimed did not come as a complete surprise to the colored employees, the fact that Dr. Harris would bow to such a policy and himself carry the order to the colored workers caused much criticism of him and director Speelman. The orders for this segregation it is claimed went into effect Thursday afternoon. Supervisor Harris called the colored employees together and made the announcement that hereafter the colored women in the building would use separate lavatories from the whites. Harris further stated that the colored male employees would have to remain two hours after closing time to move the furniture and do other laboring work in order that the jim-crow section would be in readiness for work Friday morning. When called Thursday night on the phone by a Tribune reporter, Mr. Harris admitted he had received some verbal orders but refused to state what they were. The matter is being investigated by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and representatives of the Tribune. Full details will be given in our next issue. Negroes Forced to Accept Segregation to Hear President Harding St. Louis, Mo.—Negroes were segregated in the auditorium here where President Harding spoke on his way to Alaska. Because of this segregation order, only twenty-three Negroes went up to the peanut roost and heard their President discuss matters of State. It is stated that the Mayor's Committee was responsible for the order jim-crowing the colored people. The colored voters will demand an accounting, according to the St. Louis Argus. Ministers to Hear Truth on Hospital The Ministerial Alliance will take up the matter of the Veterans Hospital-at Tuskegee at their regular meeting Monday. July 2nd. Full details of the present fight to get Negro doctors will given. All ministers and the public is invited to attend. Why is the White South Protesting Against a Negro Personnel at Veterans Hospital? Is it because they want to serve the Negro? Are they jealous of the salaries? Is their opposition based on fear? If so, is this fear justified? These questions and many others will be answered in one of the most illuminating articles on the Hospital situation ever published, in next week's Tribune.

VETERANS HOSPITAL FOR NEGROES Negro Physician SERVICE RECORD Governor Brandon Vale Doctor 'General' Forrest Veteran Pullman Porter Dead Was Victim of Heat Prostration in New York City "General" Henry Forrest of New York City and Washington, veteran employee of the Pullman Comapany, died at the City Hospital in New York last Tuesday morning from pneumonia which was brought on by an attack of sun stroke. General Forrest, as he was commonly called by his friends, was on his way to work on the New York end of his line. When he reached the Pennsylvania Station he was staggering, a "red cap" who knew him very well, went to him and assisted him to his car on the Congressional Limited. Noting the condition of the General the conductor and porters tried to persuade him to go back home, but he fought off all and they had to physically take him off and send him to the hospital. General Henry Forrest was born in Tennessee over sixty-five years ago. Of his early boyhood little is known. He began railroading about thirty-five years ago, starting for the Pennsylvania Company. He started on the club car on the Congressional Limited and when the Pullman Company took over this car, he went with the Pullman Company. During his thirty-five years, the General was never on any other train but the Congressional Limited which is practically the only case of its kind in the history of railroading. The General was well known for his many charitable deeds. No one was ever turned away who made an appeal to him. To the nurses at Freedmen's Hospital he gave an annual dinner every year. "General" is his title and not part of his name. He was given this title by President Taft. It came about in the following manner: Coming down from New York, before Taft had been nominated, Forrest greeted Mr. Taft and said "I (Continued on page 3) d U Sts., N.

Sometime ago they purchased a house and lot on the north side of U Street, in the 1200 block, with the view of having a branch office on U Street. The opportunity came to them to purchase a larger site for a big building and they embraced that opportunity. Mr. Harris stated that he was proud of this transfer because it returned property to colored people on U Street that had recently been purchased by white people. "It is my desire" said Mr. Harris, "to turn all the property on U Street that I can into colored hands for it is logically their business street and no more July 10, 12 A.

A tight which assumed the proportions of a riot, occurred at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., last Sunday night. Before the smoke of the gun had cleared away, one man was dead, one badly wounded and two others slightly. The dead is Leon M. Jones, age nineteen of 2325 Champlain street N. W. He was shot through the heart by Joseph Hairston, night watchman at the Y. M. C. A. Hairston himself was shot in the arm and was given a severe blow on the head with a brick. A Cornors Jury held an inquest Wednesday at 11:30 a. m., over the body of Jones and returned a verdict of guilty of homicide against Hairston. The trouble was the culmination of over two years of rowdyism which reigned at the Y. M. C. A. The real cause leading up to the Sunday night trouble however, began Wednesday night, June 20th. According to statements given out at the Y. M. C. A., a group of boys were in the habit of loitering on the front steps of the building and would create much disorder and freely use vile and profane language. The neighbors protested against this and the Y. secretary, Mr. Campbell Johnson, who has been in charge only a short time, issued orders that an end be put to this practice, even if the police had to be called. To carry out these orders, the night watchman tried to force the boys to leave the front steps and after his pleas had been so utterly disobeyed, he called No. 8 Police Station. When the officer arrived, the boys had dispersed, but one of them Milton Glasco was caught and carried to the station house where he put up ten-dollars collateral, which he forfeited the next morning. On learning of Glasco's arrest, the boys who constituted the gang that was on the steps is alleged to have began plans to get even with the watchman. Their threats were open. Sunday night about 10:30, the gang congregated in front of the Y. They began to throw mud and rocks into the building in hopes of attracting the watchman out so they could get him. Failing in this effort, they sent one of their members, Carles Smith, into the Y. Cafeteria to size up the situation. On what is believed to have been a signal from Smith, the gang outside rushed in and was met by Hairston. The watchman was hit on the head with a brick by Vantile C. Harris whereupon the general fight started. In some way, the watchman secured a gun, while some one in the gang flashed one also. Then general shooting began.

Potomacs and Harrisburg Open Big Series Here Monday Washington Potomacs PAGE FOUR The Potoma Taylormen Open Long Home Stay Twin Bill July 4th The Potomacs are homeward bound Ben Taylor's sturdy bunch of athletes will arrive in our midst Sunday night ready for the opening encounter with the Harrisburg Giants on Monday. The Potomacs play in Philadelphia today (Saturday) and complete their road work in Newark Sunday meeting the Meadow brook club of that city. Gala Opening A grand home-coming is being planned for the return of "America's Foremost Colored Baseball Team" to its home grounds. It is estimated that a crowd of more than 5000 fans will view the opening game on July 2nd. Tickets are now on sale at the Tribune office and at the leading drug stores. One of the cleverest aggregations in the country—the Harrisburg Giants will oppose the Taylorman in the first series. The Giants have the same status as the Potomacs in regard to the Eastern League. The season record of the two teams shows the locals trailing with two victories and three defeats. The Giants are under the management of Pettus a well-known former pro star and the man that put the Richmond Giants before the public last season. In the Harrisburg line-up are George Fiall and "Fats" Jenkins, two of the greatest professional basketball players in the country and just Triumphant ANGEL BEN TAYLOR Double-Header on Fourth The Harrisburg Giants will remain here for four games. Single tilt on July 2 and 3 and a double-header on July 4. Following the Harrisburg series the Potomacs have a continuous stretch until July 11, 12, 13 when they jump to Philadelphia to tackle the Hilldale club returning immediately however to finish the month here. The Bacharach Giants, Black Sox, Richmond Giants, Hilldale and practically the outstanding colored profes- as brilliant on the diamond. sional teams of the East and many white ones will be seen here before the Nationals return to American League Park. A large crowd of fans are expected to turn out Monday to greet the home boys. The game will be called at 4 p.m. Trailing the Potomacs POTOMACS DIVIDE TWIN BILL WITH BLACK SOX A large group of local fans journeyed over to Baltimore last Sunday and saw the Potomacs divide a twin bill with the Black Sox. The two games were thrillers from beginning to end. After the first inning of the first game, the Potomacs completely outclassed and out played the Sox in every department. Manager Taylor, sent "Lefty" George Smith, a local boy, to the mound but "Lefty" did not last as long as the proverbial snow ball; he did not have either speed or control. Manager Taylor yanked him with the bases loaded and no out and put the veteran Ross inj. However, before three outs could be made, the Black Sox had made nine runs. In this inning Ridgeley was credited with two errors which should have been easy outs and Jefferson was credited with one error, which was a difficult chance but Jeff got his_hands on the ball but could not hold it. After this inning the Sox were helpless. They scored two more runs; one in the fourth, when Clark missed a hot liner with a man on third and one in the fifth when Wilson the "Babe Ruth" of the Sox team hit one over left field fence for a home run; fortunately no one was on base. Wilson was not the bear, however, in either game; in the first fracas he got two hits out of five times up and in the second he went hitless and was walked once, but not intentionally. The Baltimore fans were sadly disappointed in their idol in the seventh inning of the second game. Carr was pitching and two were out. A hit and two walks filled the sacks and Wilson was at bat. Carr settled himself and pitched to the slugger and the best he could do was hit an easy roller to Ridgeley who threw to Clark for the third out. This completely dampened the ardour of the Sox followers. The Potomacs were there with the big stick work in both games. In the first affair they garnered fifteen hits and pounded three Sox pitchers. Manager Taylor and Lewis tied for hitting honors in the opener, each getting three hits out of five times up; two of Lewis' hits were for extra bases, one being for two bases and the other for three bases. Ross got another one of his lucky home runs; it came in the seventh inning with one man on. He hit a hard liner to right center and Raminez ran in to field the ball but missed it in and trying to stop hurt his leg; THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923 THE BASEBALL PLAYER the ball rolled to the fence and before "Raggs" could field it, Ross had crossed the home plate. The work of Clark at short, although he made two errors, was one of the features of both games. The all-around playing and hitting of Lewis made him the hero of the day. The veteran Ross showed rare form in the eighth inning of the first game when, with the bases loaded, "Hooks" Mitchell was sent in to pinch hit for Poles; Mitchell is known as a dangerous hitter but all that he could do was to whiff at three for a strike out. Ridgeley surprised the crowd by stealing home on Mitchell in the second game. The fleety second sacker showed fine judgment and timed his sliding perfectly; Rojo, the Sox's star receiver was catching. Ridgelye, Lewis and Albrritten, all former "Sox-men" were well received by the big Sunday throng and many Baltimore fans rooted for the Potomacs because of these former favorites. The umpiring was fair; Cromwell, who was sought after by the Western League was way off on several important decisions.

JULY 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th "THE ABYSMAL BRUTE" THEATRE NOTES DOES POVERTY SIGNIFY FAILURE Just what is a failure? The average conception of a man who has failed is a poor man. Tom Forman, who directed "Are You a Failure?" which is showing at the Lincoln theatre, starting Thursday, July 5th has other views on the subject. "I think the man who has failed," says the director, "is the man who has not achieved what he set out to do through the vice of laziness or fear. If circumstances have been such that his object is impossible to reach, then I feel that that man is not a failure, because he held an ideal of what he wanted, at least. "All of us who want to get somewhere must try, whether or not we fail. Mr. Schulberg who produces my pictures, and those of Mr. Gasnier and Mr. Schertzinger, the composer-director, is my idea of a successful man, because at a very youthful age he had dared to produce for himself, and trust to his own judgment to give the public what it wants and yet fulfill his ideals, which are very high." ACTOR FRIGHTENED BY LYNCHING "PROLOGUE" "Sears of Jealousy" Filmed So Realistically It Titches Players. Lloyd Hughes, who is featured with Marguerite de la Motte in Thomas H. Ince's latest screen production, "Scars of Jealousy," says that he knows just how it feels to be a bandit captured by a sheriff's posse. "If there's anything more exciting than being hunted down by a mob of shouting, yelling men trying to make a realistic scene for a motion picture, I don't know what it is unless it's being a real bandit being hunted down by a real sheriff's posse," says Hughes. "During the 'hunt' scenes in 'Scars of Jealousy' I tried to imagine how a bandit really does feel when he knows the cops are after him. The more I thought of it the more excited I became. And by the time the mob was ready to drag me out from my hiding place I was actually scared stiff. I could feel the cold shivers and creeps running up and down my spine. "In the scene where the gang was ready to retire me with pomp and ceremony on the end of a rope, the whole thing became too realistic for me. Judging from my own experience in 'Sears of Jealousy,' I believe that the subject of a real lynching doesn't know what's going on. He's too far gone with fright. I imagine, to realize his predicament. Just while Marguerite de la Motte, as the heroine in the picture, was rescuing me from my captors, the time the camera men took to fix their cameras into position seemed an eternity. "It's ludicrous to say so now, but I found myself thinking half-consciously. 'Suppose Marguerite doesn't get here in time and some of those chaps who are supposed to be lynchers actually do'get me! "I could feel the perspiration standing out all over me. The whole proposition was too awful to contemplate. I think Dr. Coue is right in his theory of auto-suggestion. For the first couple of days after that scene I never passed a policeman on the street without jumping at the thought that perhaps was going to arrest me!" "Of Jealousy" will be shown at the Lincoln Theater on Sunday, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday July 13 and 4. AMOS HOKUM AMOS DEAR I WISH YOU WOULD STOP SMOKING!

It has been decided that only six clubs will compete for the city junior championship. The clubs already listed are the St. Cyprian Preps, Georgetown Athletic Juniors, Imperials and Black Sox of Deanwood. Final details and plans for the opening of the series will be mapped out at a meeting of representatives of each team at the Tribune office, Monday night at 6:30 sharp. TWILIGHT LEAGUE SIDELIGHTS The LeDroit Tigers gave about their poorest exhibition on record. Not alone were the Tigers outclassed but stupid playing added to their defeat. Manager Jackson of Deanwood put two youngsters, Keene and Milan into the line-up. Captain Kenner of the Tigers hit a terrific triple to deep center in the eighth with two on. The Brookland Giants added a victory through the failure of nine men to take the field for the Asburys The Buffalooes substituted for the Asburys and were downed by the Giants 17-5. ARLINGTON WIN SLUGFEST The Arlington Athletics added another victory to their string Sunday by trimming the Vienna All-Stars, 14 to 8. Snow on the mound for the winners was extremely cool for five frames not allowing a man to reach first during this time. Two runs were scored off him in the sixth when his support crumbled. With a twelve run lead Snow was taken out at the end of the sixth. Holmes who replaced him was hit hard. The All-Stars started a southpaw who was lifted in the fourth. Alexander finishing the game.

Any team desiring games with the Bladensburg Athletics for July 8. Write C. Cully, Bladensburg, Md. The game is expected to be a classic of its class. The Alexandrians have played some of the strongest teams of Virginia and this city during this season, always coming off with the big end of the score. The probable battery for the All-Stars will be Beckham and Beckham, or Jones behind the slab. TRAILING THE POTOMACS Three pitchers from the Texas League are expected to join the Potomacs this week. The men have been highly recommended by a scout that has furnished the National League some of its greatest stars. Taylor released Williams and Smith, pitchers last week. Williams has been unable to get himself into condition this season while Smith has been unable to find the plate and on two occasions has lasted less than an inning.

There is an organization, on paper at least, or plan for a method of news gathering at the Negro press. The agencies in the country capable of rendering the race, the Negro press has the greatest interest; but it lacks that powerful weapon of action. There are two or three news clipping bureaues colored papers of the country but they are. The National Negro Press Association is so bounded news service.

Has the Negro agent a man to investigate the condition and reason. How much longer shall we continue to hast opportunity lie dormant? THE PRESIDENT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT Denver speech on "Law Enforcement" Presidency is strongest statements putting the question public. He leaves no chance for dodging or law must be enforced. This is as it shows the devoted the major part of his address of the 18th amendment and made this "The prohibition amendment to the Constitution of the land." Proud to have the President make that state, also call his attention to the fact that there is older than the "prohibition amendment" basic law of the land" as is the 18th, and the 18th Amendment be any more basic other amendment? Then why place so no enforcement of one amendment and absolute. The non-enforcement of the 14th amendment to the country than the failure to enforce it to enforce the 18th amendment is a dangerous thing, says the President. "It will be the disrespect for many laws. It will bring community, and be pointed to as justifying a nation of hypocrites. There can be no inount to that of enforcement of the law." President is in error over the failure to enforce "encouraging disrespect for many laws." Ready exists from the failure of the Nation force the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. been formed and to change it now would be dog new tricks. Isolating failure of the National government amendment is reaping its reward in the disrespect when it endeavors to enforce the 18th Lincoln said: "The Union cannot exist halter neither can the National Government hope any other amendment when it fails to enrolution. Sure, "there can be no issue in the that of enforcement of the law," Mr. Presidency all of the amendments and not pick. To enforce the 18th amendment does not injustice, the personal harm nor wield the on the body politic as the failure of the enrolution. When the President fails to enforce the 18th slavery of the rankest type exists in the north state in the deadly form of peonage Tin Tabert case in Florida. When the President of the 14th amendment, colored citizens of the denied the opportunity of exercising their reelections in every state from Virginia to North Carolina fails to enforce the 14th amendment molest and burn American citizens on the smaller president fails to enforce the 14th amendment segregated and jim crowed on various portation lines south of the Mason and Linden President fails to enforce the 14th amendment to wink at the Constitution and having been government, they conclude that they can disdict in the enforcement of the 18th am 14th. Table of the South have resented the enforcement and that resentment, like race prejudice, developed this country. The people of the North the people of the South can disregard and not of the 14th amendment we will disregard paper out of the 18th amendment. There Amend the Denver speech of the President now that we court, yea, demand, "law enfo The affair of the opening and personnel of the Tuskegee Hospital for our veterans has brought to light the helplessness of the Negro press in the matter of obtaining accurate news. One paper prints one thing, and another paper contradicts that story. Still another paper will have something altogether different from the other two and thus it goes. Sure, there is an organization, on paper at least, but there is no method or plan for a method of news gathering and distributing for the Negro press. Of all the agencies in the country capable of rendering a real service to the race, the Negro press has the greatest opportunity of them all; but it lacks that powerful weapon of accurate news distribution. Yes, there are two or three news clipping bureaus trying to serve the colored papers of the country but they are woefully inadequate. The National Negro Press Association is sadly in need of a well rounded news service. Not more than two papers in the whole country have printed the same article on the Tuskegee Hospital. Very few have struck from the shoulder at the situation. Doubless because of the lack of information on the real condition and the problem affecting the race thru it. Even the famous Tuskegee press service has been absolutely silent. Not one line of information has been seen since the mix up over the personnel came to a head. Has the Negro Press Association sent a man to investigate the condition and report on the same? No. How much longer shall we continue to let our biggest and best opportunity lie dormant? THE PRESIDENT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT In his Denver speech on "Law Enforcement" President Harding made his strongest statements putting the question squarely before the public. He leaves no chance for dodging or compromising. The law must be enforced. This is as it should be. The President devoted the major part of his address to the enforcement of the 18th amendment and made this significant statement: "The prohibition amendment to the Constitution is the basic law of the land." We are proud to have the President make that statement. But we would also call his attention to the fact that there is another amendment, older than the "prohibition amendment" that is as much "the basic law of the land" as is the 18th, and that is the 14th. Can the 18th Amendment be any more basic than the 14th or any other amendment? Then why place so much stress upon the enforcement of one amendment and absolutely neglect the other? The non-enforcement of the 14th amendment is more detrimental to the country than the failure to enforce the 18th. The failure to enforce the 18th amendment is a dangerous and demoralizing thing, says the President. "It will be the means of encouraging disrespect for many laws. It will bring disrepute upon our community, and be pointed to as justifying the charge that we are a nation of hypocrites. There can be no issue in this land paramount to that of enforcement of the law." The President is in error over the failure to enforce the 18th amendment "encouraging disrespect for many laws." That disrespect already exists from the failure of the National Government to enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. The habit has already been formed and to change it now would be like learning an old dog new tricks. The humilating failure of the National government to enforce the 14th amendment is reaping its reward in the disrespect shown the Government when it endeavors to enforce the 18th amendment. As Lincoln said: "The Union cannot exist half slave and half free," neither can the National Government hope to enforce the 18th, or any other amendment when it fails to enforce all of the Constitution. Sure, "there can be no issue in the land paramount to that of enforcement of the law," Mr. President; but you must enforce all of the amendments and not pick out a few of them. The people of the South have resented the enforcement of the 14th amendment and that resentment, like race prejudice has completely enveloped this country. The people of the North say that as long as the people of the South can disregard and make a scrap of paper out of the 14th amendment we will disregard and make a scrap of paper out of the 18th amendment. Therefore, chaos reigns. We commend the Denver speech of the President and would have him know that we court, vea, demand, "law enforcement."

Adams Second Baptist Church Installs Pipe intrinsic Organ ing by t The unveiling and dedication of the new pipe organ at Second Baptist Church, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor, occurred Sunday, June 24th. It was indeed a gala occasion for old Second Baptist, among the oldest congregations in the city. For many years this church has lagged in progressiveness and not until this wonderful man, Rev. Holloman, came did a turn for the better dawn upon them. Rev. Holloman not only has installed the $5200 organ, but numerous other improvements have been made under his astute guidance and leadership, and he is a prince among preachers whose chaste language, eloquence, diction and theological bearing marks him as the modern type of pulpiteer. The choir with their new director and regular organist furnished excellent music on the occasion. Tuesday evening the choir presented jointly the choirs of Nineteenth Street and Shilch Baptist churches in a grand organ concert and cantata for the benefit of the organ fund. Connecting with this thought let us quote a late press dispatch, as follows: "Trinity Church looks on Wall Street and Wall Street looks in on Trinity Church. And musing there, an hour alone, you realize that Christianity can be made as profitable as stocks if you know how. Trinity Church says that its income for 1922 was $1,249,870. Clergymen on the regular staff were paid $78,758.34. Temporary clerical help got $3,434.33; parish visitors and such, $5,892.50. Music, Musicians and Choirs got $50,-864.46. We quote no further. Note amount paid for "Music" only! It almost startles the imagination among Negro churchdom. The Negro church, especially the Baptist denomination, pays less to music, musicians and choirs, probably, and discounts the Herbert Akers, Grand Traveling Deputy accompanied by fifty or more members of Columbia Lodge, motored to Odd Fellows Hall Arlington, Va., where they established Scott T.

Sanhedrin to be Held in November Sanhedrin to be Held in November Dean Kelly Miller's All-Race Conference Program has been making progress even though there has not been much publicity lately. When the movement was launched in New York City under the general direction of the temporary United Front Conference composed of the National Equal Rights League, the African Blood Brotherhood, the Friends of Negro Freedom, the International Uplift League, the N. A. A. C. P., and the National Race Congress, a Committee on the All-Race Conference with plenary and final powers was designated. This Committee has been holding meetings regularly for the purpose of arranging for the Conference Method and Purpose of Representa- The purposes and methods of the Conference have been discussed in all details and certain basic conclusions have been reached. These conclusions being that the All-Race Conference shall be held during the week of November 5, 1923. This is in accordance with the resolution that the meeting be held prior to any of the national conventions to be held during the year 1924. It was also decided that instead of attempting to have a mass convention that the basis of representation be a flat assignment of ten delegates and ten alternates to all national organizations engaged in race activities; that the program of the Conference be arranged around special commissions so that definite study might be given to all subjects of ra intrinsic value of good music judging by the past. Most churches believe ten or twenty dollars is too much pay for a director or organist and five or ten dollars is a large 'bit' per year for music. Let the church raise a higher musical standard thereby enhancing its spiritual influence and power for good among men. Public School Music The Public School music department, Miss Josephine Wormley directress, presented a boys' chorus in a musical program directed by Miss Marie James in the Miner Normal auditorium a few days since. This was a new venture and quite a welcome one indeed by the music department. The boys rendered a good account of themselves. Their directress, and the department, as well, deserves thanks in the effort. Why not train the boys to sing equally as well as the girls? Is there not just as great need for their vocal training? Some of the greatest choirs in the world are composed almost wholly of boy voices and their velvet tones of a surpassing youthful vigor and freshness charms to the uttermost. We fear there is too great neglect in the training of our boys in music in preference to that of girls. But where are our future great pianists and vocalists among the male sex coming from if not among the present generation of youths? The public school department of music should be encouraged in this new effort and it is hoped that each year may add fresh laurels to its brow as did the "Boys' Chorus." Remember, if you please this one outstanding fact: The career of any boy or girl is enhanced greatly by musical training, and, if per chance, that life fails to receive it, treasures of untold value are forever hidden from their grasp. One Killed In Riot Because of the fact that when the police arrived they found only one gun, but as there is a large bullet hole in the mail box, and another hole in the front wall, directly opposite to the mail box and one in the house across the street, it is hard to conceive of one man doing all the shooting, especially when Hairston, a right-hand man, was shot in his right arm. When the shooting began, the gang began a hasty retreat, but when Leon Jones reached the sidewalk, he collapsed. He was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital where he was pronounced dead. When the police arrived most of the gang had fled but seven were later arrested. Among those arrested were: Vantile C. Harris, age nineteen, 1214 S Street, who was held on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon; Charles Smith, twenty, 1203 S Street; Aaron Bankett, eighteen, 1408 Florida Avenue; Uthman Curtis, twenty, 1309 S Street; Charles E. Lee, nineteen. 1812 13th Street; William Hope, nineteen, 1336 W Street, and Leory Hamilton, twenty-four, 1226 M Street. It is claimed that this group of boys have been causing trouble at the Y for some time. Not any of them have paid up memberships in the Y according to Secretary Johnson. Not only have these boys caused trouble, but they influenced smaller boys to do mischief. Several fights have taken place in the lobby of the Y and police have been called many times to quell the trouble. There have been any number of thiefts around the building. Most of the furniture in the building has been maliciously wrecked and this gang is thought to be guilty of the mischief. At times the Secretary has been forced to close the game rooms on account of the disorder these boys would create. Just what effect the present trouble will have on these disturbances is not known, but Secretary Johnson says he hopes it will rid the Y of this very undesirable element. Bond for Hairston and Harris was set at $1000. Hairston was released late Thursday. cial interest instead of discussing the min mass convention.

Each player in turn supposes himself or herself a "bouquet" composed of three different flowers. Each one must name aloud to the leader of the game the three flowers of which he or she considers himself or herself composed. The leader of the game writes down the names of the three flowers, and adds to what he has written (without informing the other) three names of any three persons of the company which he may choose. The leader then asks the "bouquet" to what use the three chosen flowers are to be put. The "bouquet" tells him to what use he means to put them and the leader applies it to the three persons whose names he has written. Example: Leader—Viola, choose three flowers. Viola—The daisy, the pansy, and the rose. Leader—I have written them down. (He will write: pansy—Joe; daisy—Ivory; rose—Byron.) Now what will you do with the pansy? Viola: I will throw it over my shoulder. (The leader writes this down.) Leader: What will you do with the daisy? Viola: I will put it upon my window sill. Leader: What will you you do with the rose? Viola: I will put it on my piano. Leader: Very well, you have thrown Joe over your shoulder, you have put Ivory at your window, and you have put Byron on your piano. Viola (the person who is the "boquet") becomes the leader. This is a quiet game and full of fun. "The Blind Postman" will be published next week. Although this is an old game it will be found to be an ideal game for groups (outdoors or in), for community gatherings, in camp, or at private parties.

JULIA REEDER (11) JULIA REEDER (11) * * * * * * * * * * * * I AM PROUD OF MY RACE * * * * * * * * * * * * POETRY By Rufus P. Turner (15) Poetry is a form of literature which has been greatly appreciated by every race and in every epoch of history. Grecian literature was made famous by Homer's poems the "Odyssey," and the "Iliad." The "Lady of the Lake" by Sir Walter Scott and other poems by Lord Alfred Tennyson made English an outstanding feature of the libraries of that day. Every race has always had men who, through their mental skill, can successfully blend rhyme, rhythm and words. In the days of the Crusades, when a book was not an everyday thing, poets who were called "minstrels", or bards, made up poems and as they traveled, they would sing them to the accompaniment of harps. Poetry, today, is not considered as it was in the past ages. The general inclination is toward prose more than poetry: nevertheless, the poets of recent years have met with wonderful success, especially the colored poets, among whom must be included Phyllis Wheatley and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Miss Wheatley died at an early age, twenty years, having made a remarkable name for herself. She is especially noted for a poem she wrote to George Washington just before he fought a historic battle. We need not be told of the many poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar, they are too numerous. I think that Dunbar's poems should be put in the class with Longfellow's and Whittier's. DINKY DINK DOOM Dinky Dink Doom? Do you know him? "Do I know whom?" Do you know old EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) "AFRICA," GROUP, NEW YORK CITY By Daniel C. French [EDITOR'S NOTE] In reproducing another writer's words, his style of writing must be adhered to. Hence the word Negro appears with a small "n" in the quoted passages wherever it so appeared in the original.] Referring to French's "Africa" before the New York Custom House the "International Studio" for July 1905 had the following: "Africa rests one elbow on the head of a lion and the other on a sphinx, and seems to slumber. She has the lips and chin of a negro, with an Egyptian, cast to the rest of the features. Behind the sphinx is a figure entirely covered with drapery, save for the toes of one foot and the eyes under the shadow of the cloak, giving, with the loose hanging, slightly incurved hands, drooping head and closed eyes [of the main figure], an added suggestion of sleep." The full passage relating to the group in the article in the "Independent" reads as follows: "In marked contrast to the alert attitude of America is the sleeping figure of Africa. Like the others, this figure is not an ethnological portrait, but has a suggestion of the negro in the features, attitude, and the modeling of the hands and feet. "The reclining figure of the dark continent is supported on the one side by the ancient and weather-worn Sphinx, and on the other by a lion. In the background we glimpse a mysterious figure suggesting the unknown possibilities of Africa." I cannot refrain from a short discussion of a statement in the passage just quoted from the "Independent" which makes reference to "a suggestion of the negro in the features, attitude, and in the modeling of the hands and feet"; and to DeKay's reference to "a negro type or touch in features and form." Passing by, for the moment, the claim of a distinctive Negro "form," I will say that I am still convinced that the physical peculiarities relating to hands and feet at which the writer seems to be hinting—so far as they have not been proven to be unreal—are not at all common to Negroes nor characteristic of them; and the attribution of these abnormalities to Negroes as a race is a mere conventionality which had its origin in caricature and detraction, and is still generally employed for these purposes—albeit, sometimes insidiously. I do not wish to appear dogmatic, but do nevertheless insist that these conventionally attributed peculiarities have about the same foundation in fact as the half-jests regarding the big feet of Chicago girls and the flat feet of Englishmen. DeKay's vague reference to a Negro "form," is not so readily combated; for, I can only surmise what he has in mind, since facial features seem to be excluded. None of the defenders of the aboveindicated claims with whom I have corresponded has specified anything as to this alleged distinctive form. It is likely, however, that if pressed, they would seek to take refuge behind one or more of the physical peculiarities (physical, or somatic, "characters," ethnologists call them) which "it is said" are distinctive to Negroes; which characters, so far as I have seen them mentioned, have a basis of fact so very uncertain—those which have not broken down altogether—that it would be not only presumption but folly to base on them anything intended to be serious and permanent. Moreover, it we concede that the variations put forward as race characters really are such, they are admittedly so "trifling" that sculpture could not depict them as determining "characters" without more or less exaggeration. Yet, under restrictions, the employment of these fugitive "characters" would be legitimate; and even their exaggeration might be permissible if, and whenever, it could be done without casting a sinister shadow. Ethnologists tell us that characteristic racial differences in physical forms (except as to facial features) are very slight, elusive, and ques- tionable. Deniker and others mention "very trifling" somatic differences that possibly may be characteristic of race. Seemingly, some of these alleged characters are enumerated and discussed because somebody has asserted or suggested them; just as Deniker thought it worth while, as late as 1900, to refute the claim that there are now races, or at least tribes of men with tails. Of course, men with tails had been seen by credible witnesses; and Deniker shows a picture of one—from a photograph. But close inspection demonstrated that the excellently simulated caudal appendage was merely a part of the bearer's costume. According to what I have read and have seen here and there, the most exploited of these alleged Negro somatic characters or "traits"—excluding plain caricature—have been long limbs, long heels, and certain skull formations. As for the alleged long limbs (arms), Deniker (French) discusses the matter at some length in his book, "Races of Man," published in 1900. He finally says (page 91): "In spite of the quantity of material accumulated (as to the proportions of the body), we have not been able up to the present to make any use of the differences which these proportions exhibit according to race. The reason is that these differences are very triding." Dr. D. G. Brinton (American), after enumerating the real physical race characteristics—color of the skin, the hair, and the facial features—virtually throws out of court the claim as to shape of the skull: In Johnson's Cyclopedia, in the article on "Man," he says: "Much attention has been paid to the shape of the skull as an ethnic criterion, but it must be said with little positive results." The eminent Doctor, whose prejudice against Negroes was strong almost to virulence, was at that time (1896) still clinging rather dubiously to some other vaguely-stated physical race-traits; although, as we shall see, he had already abandoned one of the most strongly pressed of the alleged distinctive Negro somatic characters. As to the feet, there has been, as I have said, a claim that the Negro has an abnormally long heel, or rather, heel-bone. None of the claims which have been mentioned, nor any other, has been more strongly pressed or persistently exploited than this one. Very probably, the writer in the "Independent" had it in mind when making his statement. But Doctor Brinton, who most certainly would have stuck to this particular claim if he could, abandoned it as early as 1890, in his book, "Races and Peoples," which came out that year. That was several years before the publication of the cyclopedia article by him, from which I quoted above, in which article this claim was not even mentioned. In the book, just named, he says (p. 28): "The heel bone is currently believed to be longer and project further backward in the negro than in the white man." But measurements, he said, had disproved the claim, and observation showed that— "The lengthening is apparent only, and is due to the smallness of the calf and the slenderness of the main tendon, immediately above the heel." The eminent English authority, Professor E. B. Tylor, in the 11th edition (1910) of the Encyclopedia Britannica, discredits substantially all that was left of the alleged distinguishing race-physical characters which, for reasons that will be indicated, have had most currency. Ignoring all the claims except those relating to proportions of the limbs, he says (under "Anthropology"): "Proportions of the limbs compared with the trunk, have been claimed as constituting peculiarities of the African and American races; and other anatomical points, such as conformation of the pelvis, have a specialty. But inferences of this class have hardly attained to sufficient certainty and generality to be set down in the form of rules." And so we might go on to refute the claims of other less-stressed characters, if it were worth while. But the alleged abnormalities which I have particularly discussed are the CAN YOU WRITE A LETTER ABOUT THIS LITTLE QUEEN? IF YOU CAN YOU MAY WIN A PRIZE OF SOME THEATER TICKETS Study the picture above and then write a letter telling what you think it is all about. Do you think that the Little Queen is kind or mean; pretty or ugly; happy or unhappy? Are the men her captors or her friends. Perhaps one is her father—ones that have been put forward to justify the caricature and detraction which have been the chief reasons for their exploitation if not for their supposed discovery. It is, of course, highly improbable that many of those who put forward these claims explicitly or inferentially, know or have sought to determine the main basis or the origin of these attributions. Without carrying the matter to too great a length, it may suffice here to point out that all of the alleged physical peculiarities which are exploited, are more or less simian [ape-like,] especially so, are the alleged long limbs and long heel-bones. And this fact becomes the more significant when it is remembered that there are other alleged somatic peculiarities which have at least as good claims to be regarded as race characters for the Negro, which are seldom mentioned and never exploited. Two or three of these have already been adverted to; the one best grounded perhaps being small leg-calves. So far we have touched on only the alleged race traits which are exteriorly anatomical and hence, if sufficiently marked, might be available for the sculptor. The flimsiness if not the falsity of the claims has been shown; and what is perhaps as important—even if foreign to our stated subject—the origin and purpose of the most exploited of the ascriptions have been indicated. If the occasion permitted to consider other real and probable race characters, it would be seen that, for the Negro, the so-called "simian" traits of an anatomical character, not only are un-confirmed by other real and probable traits, but are actually negatived. Characteristic racial attitudes and "expressions," or ways of doing things—temperaments and habits, if you choose—may be readily conceded, and these are legitimate "traits" for portrayal, within proper limits. But it is extremely doubtful whether Mr. French, in the group attitudes, or that he had in mind portraying any distinctive racial attitudes, or that he had in mind "suggesting" the Negro "by the modeling of the hands and feet." And even if he had the latter in mind, he was either knowingly following conventions or he was the victim of once-common, and therefore perhaps excusable, errors. But since Mr. DeKay has expressed his fears that some persons may complain because the Negro "form"—whatever it be—is lacking in the main figure in the group, it is evident that he, too, thinks that the sculptor was not making any such "suggestions" is the writer in the "Independent" imagines, or pretends, that he sees.

BETTY'S OWL By Amelia Henderson One springtime, a pair of owls were looking about to find a nice place for their house, when they spied a hollow branch in a big cherry tree by a farmhouse. The hollow was about two feet deep and a foot broad. After some consultation, they took this place for a future home for their family. In a few weeks there was a great deal of cooing as if they had company, and the ploughboy went up the tree and brought down in a basket, six wee little baby owls to show Betty, the little girl who lived in the farmhouse. Betty clapped her hands and thought they were very cunning, as they fluffed out their feathers and winked their eyes at her and looked so very wise. As she wanted a pet very badly, she thought she would like to keep one of them, and as the family was so large she was sure the mother owl would not object, as there would be one less mouth for her to feed. So on the other side of the farmhouse from the nest, she put the baby owl in a box, one side of which was partly covered with slats to let in light and air and through which Betty could feed "birdie." The next morning, she went to say "How to do" to her little new pet, when to her surprise the baby owl was gone. The night before its feathers fluffed out so it looked very large, but it was really a very little bird and had crept out between the slats of the box, when the mother owl came for it in the night. Betty cried at the loss of her pet, but in memory of the baby owl, she now has a salt cellar made in the shape of an owl. Don't say "nigger." DOLLIES Submitted by Alice C. Henderson, 10 I tuck my dolly in her soft white bed And cover her over with a pretty pink spread, Then rock her gently while the sun-set's red So she can sleep and rest her dainty head. Then I think of the other dollies in the shop Those who get broken, as they are let drop, The dollies that are wound up and never stop And those that can't even play with a top. The poor dollies that have no covers when it's cold, No dishes to eat from, of red, green and gold. So let's have a heart that is warm and bold For the poor little dollies that never are sold. Six Elaine Rioters Released from Prison Justice Tempered with too much Mercy becomes Injustice. Were Sentenced To Death Over Two Years Ago LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 28—Six Negroes, twice sentenced by Arkansas courts to be electrocuted after twice being convicted of murder in connection with the Elaine insurrection in October, 1919, are at liberty a misunderstanding or contradiction of orders having brought them release early this week. Sheriff A. L. Calloway of Lee county had brought them from the jail at Marianna on orders from Judge E. D. Robertson of the Lee county circuit court, he said. Warden Hamp Martin of the penetentiary here, had no orders to receive them, he said, and refused to admit them. They were set free. Recovering from their bewilderment, the six, with attendant relatives and attorneys, climbed into automobiles and returned to Lttile Rock to spend the night as they pleased for the first time since, three and a half years ago, they were arrested and charged with complicity in the uprising which resulted in the death of several white persons and an indeterminate number of Negroes and the calling out of the United States troops. An opinion of the Arkansas supreme court this week directed the dismissal of the case against the Negroes on petition of defense counsel, which asserted that two terms of court in Lee county, where their third trial had been set have passed without their having been brought to trial. The men are Ed Ware, Joe Fox, John Martin, Alf Banks, Albert Giles and Will Wordlow, agreed before leaving the penitentiary grounds that they would meet in the office of an attorney in Little Rock today, when further action on their status is expected. Six other Negro defendants in the Elaine affair are in the penitentiary here awaiting action of Federal Judge Trieber on their habeas corpus plea, which was based on the alleged ground that they did not receive a fair trial at Helena, in Phillips county, the locality of the insurrection. These six remaining in prison are the six whose cases were carried to the U. S. Supreme Court which decided that they had not had fair trials. Their cases are yet to be disposed of The first reversal of a verdict of guilty and a sentence of death in the case of the Negroes released was caused by the failure of the jury to name the offense for which it found the defendants guilty. Its verdict was, "Guilty as charged." Reversal in the second conviction and death sentence was based on the fact that no Negroes were on the jury which found the six guilty, the supreme court declaring that they had not, therefore, been guaranteed a fair trial. A change of venue was then granted to Lee County, where at the last term of court the state's attorney requested the postponement of the trial. He explained that witnesses by whom he had obtained convictions in former trials were not available. SANHEDRIN TO BE HELD IN NOVEMBER (Continued from page 6) usually refers to it by that name in his writings for the press. Program of All-Race Conference Program of All-Race Conference The general outline of the program is as follows: Monday, November 5th, 1923, Registration, Credentials, Home Assignments, etc.; beginning Tuesday, Nov. 6th, and occupying the entire week various discussions based upon co-operation for race betterment will be conducted by the commissions representing the church and religious, fraternal and benevolent, educational, business and industrial, social work, civil and political, women workers', health improvement, inter-racial relations, and cultural organizations. The final session will be devoted to the report of the Commission on plan and scope of a permanently organized race cooperative movement. On a tour covering practically the entire country, beginning June 11th Dean Miller, the Father of the All-Race Conference, will give out firsthand to the people the purposes and method of the Conference. It is hoped that every member of the Race will avail himself or herself of this splendid opportunity to get a clear understanding of the workings of this movement. The Washington Tribune Irresponsible Writer Tries to Belittle Meeting By Geo. Howard Mack In a scurrilous, rude and ill-fashioned article appearing under date of June 23 in several out of town papers appeared a bold-face, brazen affront and rebuff to the intelligence and sober judgment of the local colored post of the American Legion, the Ministers of Washington who participated, the National Race Congress of America, Inc., and other members of our group representative of the leading educators of the nation's capitol. The article in question was a semi-veiled denunciation of the sponsors of the protest mass meeting held last Monday night at the John Wesley Church. The writer of this diatribe observed that among our group who are particularly interested in this hospital at Tuskegee there are two contrary opinions prevailing. One, he said, is that "the promise and directions of the President as regards the operation of this hospital by Negroes will be carried out as soon as practicable." The other is that "statements eminating from the Veterans Bureau are too indefinite and give evidence of pussy-footing, and a white medical officer will continue in charge." Classed Ultra-Radicals In his satirical arraignment and invective perfidy, this scribe, assuming the double role of a chauvinistic bulwark of conservatism and at the same time claiming to be imbued with a new spirit of racial pride and progressive tendencies, waxes bitter as he embarks upon a strange course of hypothetical asperity, characterizing those as ultra-radicals who called the meeting to protest against the placing of, a white personnel at the head of, and in charge of the federal hospital for wounded colored Veterans at Tuskegee, Alabama. He charged that the ultras "had their night," being called to order by the Rev. E. D. W. Jones, president of the Ministers' Alliance of Washington, who presided and announced the objects of the meeting as being primarily for the purpose of demanding at once the appointment of a colored surgeon-in-chief, and failing in this, to advise a nation-wide boycott of the hospital by former service men in need of treatment until such an appointment is made, adding that the only "conservative statements made were by Captain West Hamilton," who, by the way, represented one of the organizations which the overzealous scribe was wont to malign, "and Rev. C. Y. Trigg," who was selected to speak for the pulpit; that a resolution was adopted, and that they—the ultras—adjourned sine die without formulating any constructive plans for the accomplishment of the ends desired, etc., etc. This view he pretends to take not-withstanding the fact that the very "resolution" which he unwarilyly took cognizance of in his eruption, embodies an alternative of a boycott if a change is not made to suit the protesting citizens. The procedure determined upon in this matter is about as strong, effective and "constructive" as may be employed with any degree of success at this time, and the necessary agencies to put it into effect can and will be utilized if such a course is found imperative. Being classed as radicals, however, might have led the scribe to believe this meeting would have devised some means to take the hospital vi et armis but such a fool did not show himself there. The Truth in the Premises Of course this correspondent, having had the privilege to cover the conferences leading up to this meeting, and having no ax to grind in the matter nor any apology to make for having attached his signature to the call, knows that the attack upon these gentlemen and ladies was most fortunate and doubtless based upon inadequate information and bore a gross distortion of facts. The meeting was, called only after a week's conferences between such interests as the American Legion, represented by Captains Hamilton, Newman and Epps, which has been leading the fight in this matter; The National Race Congress, represented by Mrs. G. Pelham, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, (the correspondent in Dr. Jernagin's absence); the Ministers, represented by Drs. J. Milton Waldron. E. D. W. Jones, Pace, Trigg, Russell, J Boston Paper Comments on Negro Migration Boston's leading newspaper thinks the present Negro migration movement may put an end to lynching and peonage crimes against civilization. The paper says in part: "Will the pressure of economic need do more in putting an end to lynching in the Southern states than has been accomplished by appeals based on moral and legal grounds? With the shortage of manual labor there has come renewed migration of Negroes to the manufacturing regions of the North. The departure of so many of the colored population is causing concern among Southern planters and business men. They are confronted with the prospect of greatly curtailing their operations because of shortage of labor. The signing by Governor Pinchot of a bill making participation in a lynching party in Pennsylvania first degree murder, coming at this time is an element in the situation not to be an influence that will increase the migration and so add to the labor shortage in Southern states. "Leaders of the Negroes are advising them to take advantage of their present opportunity to find employment in parts of the country where they are told, they will escape the peculiar dangers to which they are subjected in the Southern states. This attitude of the leaders of the race is frankly stated in a recent correspondence. "Dr. Emmgtt J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of the Howard University, having appealed to Judge Elbert H Gary to employ colored Americans in the works of the United States Steel Corporation, an official of one of the Southern lumber producing companies protested presumably on the ground that the Negroes were needed in the South. "Replying to this protest, Dr. Scott said, 'I very definitely feel that it is the duty of colored people wherever opportunity offers to leave those sections where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. He added that he knew that black men were likely to meet with difficulties in some of the Northern regions, but that these difficulties were inconsequential when compared with the privilege of a free and untrammeled citizenship, along with better housing better educational opportunities for the children, better wages and better an end to the hangings, the shootings treatment. "Such incidents may go far to put and the burnings of which colored people have been the most numerous, if not the only victims. Its lawlessness of a kind rampant in the South, but it must be confessed, not unknown in the North. The present migration of the Negroes may hasten the day when there will be more general recognition of the fact that lynching and peonage do not pay, whether the victims be white or black. Perhaps that will make it easier to convince no small number of people that such practices are also a crime against civilization." U. King, J. W. Waters, and Mrs. Elizabeth L Bryant of the Southern Aid had determined upon such a course. The call for this meeting was signed by the above-named organizations printed and distributed through churches, lodges, etc., throughout Washington, and vicinity, copies of which were published in the "sheet" and sent to the editor personally. Therefore the consequent crowd which filled the big John Wesley church, must have been the ultras. The meeting in question was addressed by Captain Hamilton, who gave a detailed history of the matter from the veterans' point of view; Editor Walker of the Tribune, whose paper was responsible for the information which stirred the citizens to action was there to prove the accuracy of his information; and Rev, C. Y. Trigg, former chaplain in the army. Remarks were made by Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, executive secretary of the National Race Congress. The Resolution, which was given in part by the scribe in his diabolical foray upon the subject was then read by Captain Epps; a motion for adoption by Prof. LeC. Chestnut, who is the Washington manager of the Chicago Defender, seconded by Mr. Neval H. Thomas, who is a professor of history at the Dunbar High School here and an executive of the N. A. A. C.

Va., June 28—The Legislature of West Virginia last week passed a budget bill which carried an appropriation of more than a half million dollars for The West Virginia Collegiate Institute, the leading educational institution of the state for Colored youth. The exact amount of the appropriation for the school is $545,000. This sum represents the largest single appropriation ever made in West Virginia for Negro education, and is probably a larger sum than has ever been appropriated for like purpose by any state in the union. It represents a new epoch in West Virginia for the citizens of color and serves to broaden and increase the mutual good-will which has existed for many years between the races in the mountain state. The highest state officials as well as the humblest citizens of West Virginia take unusual pride in the Collegiate Institute. It is the determination of all to make the school standard in every way. John W. Davis, the President, and the able faculty of the Institution get the support and encouragement of all of the thinking people of the State. The State Board of Education and Board of Control, as well as the executive Department of the State, maintain a close and vital interest in the work. Definite cooperation from the members of these bodies and from the colored citizens in general make the College a real State College. The appropriation is itemized as follows: Salaries for teachers and officers, $170,000; current general expense, 75,000; repairs and improvements, 50,000, and for buildings and land, 250,000. The $250,000 under buildings and land will be added to $125,000 left to the credit of the Institution from the 1921 legislature. This sum will be used for a new administration building. Plans and specifications for the building are ready. Work will be started within a few weeks. The building now used for an administration building will be remodeled into a dormitory for men and boys. Only the most modern equipment will be put into the biological, chemical, physical, and psychological laboratories of the new administration building, in keeping with the policy of making The West Virginia Collegiate Institute meet only the highest standards. dissenting vote, even from this "conservative," if such he may be termed. Now what is really meant by the philosophical term "ultra-radical," we do not know, unless, perhaps, it is the vernacular in which is expressed the temperament of those who entertain no notion of shuffling crumbs from the political pie counter when the doling is to be at the expense of their group. I s'pose that's it. I close by saying that the saddest thing about any journalist is his failure to ascertain sufficient information on a given subject before giving vent to his lust for something sensational. If the writer of the diatribe had taken the time to make proper and unprejudiced inquiry before indulging in scattering his vile effluvium upon a credulous public, he would have gone a far way in maintaining the dignity and veracity of a newspaper sub-editor as well as assuring the protection of the reputation of such papers as are willing to accept his offerings.
