HINES STANDS BY HIS LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
Calhoun, Who Was Run Away, Ordered Back To Tuskegee
Director Hines, Chief of the Veterans' Bureau, stated to a Trbiune reporter Saturday morning, that he stands squarely on his letter to President Harding, which promises a complete Negro personnel at the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee.
When asked about the running away from Tuskegee of Calhoun, a young man who was given the job as clerk in the hospital office, Director Hines stated that he had talked with Calhoun and regretted that he had left Tuskegee. However, he said, he had ordered him back there; the job was his and he was to have it.
Director Hines stated that he is now waiting for a delegation of Tuskegee whites, who are coming here to lay before the director, what they believe proof of the promises alleged to have been made to them, that the hospital would have all white help. Mr. Hines said that just as soon as this delegation called on him, he will come out with a statement.
The morning Herald published the following article Thursday morning, under the head "Tuskegee Row is Settled."
"Another important development made known by Director Hines is the situation at the Tuskegee, Ala. hospital for colored veterans. The policy of the bureau appears averse to the wishes of President Harding in regard to the problem at Tuskegee, as it was intimated that white physicians already at the hospital will be retained. Colored nurses and hospital attendants will remain at the hospital, it was stated.
"During Director Hines' recent inspection trip to Tuskegee he conferred with a committee of white citizens, and it appeared that a compromise was effected permitting colored nurses and attendants.
"While 60 per cent of the hospital personnel is colored, Director Hines asserted, the demand of the Tuskegee citizens for white control had been satisfied."
When a Tribune reporter called at the Veterans' Bureau here Thursday morning, he could not see Director Hines but saw Mr. Sweet, Hines' secretary. When shown the article Mr. Sweet sent for one of publicity men who attended the press conference of Wednesday when this article was supposed to have been given out.
This young man denied that Director Hines had said what the Herald had reported. He stated that what Mr. Hines did say was that unless the Tuskegee delegation came real soon, he was going through with his original plans. Mr. Sweet reiterated what Mr. Hines had stated last Saturday, that the Director had not changed from his previous stand for a colored personnel.
A prominent white physician, in a letter to the New York City World, substantiates The Tribune's views as to why the South wants a white personnel at the Tuskegee Hospital.
This writer gives economics as one of the reasons why the South desires the hospital. His letter to the World follows:
---
Negro Veterans at Tuskegee To the Editor of the N. Y. World: The present situation at the Veterans' Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, affords a conspicuous example of southern inconsistency. The one thing that the South is supposedly particular about is the non-association of whites and blacks, yet in

The Prudential Bank, will officially open its doors to the Washington public next Monday morning, July 23rd at 9 a.m. This bank will be the first Negro institution of its kind in Washington and will occupy one of the most handsome banking homes of any like institution in the country. The bank is located on Florida Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets northwest. It is a half block from one of the largest street car transfer centers in the city. Its location as to Negro business is ideal as it is virtually in the center of Negro activities in the northwest. Prof. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, is president of the new bank. Prof. Hawkins is one of the best known financiers in the race and under his leadership, the new bank is destined to take a place as one of the foremost financial institutions in the country. The other officers are: Dr. A. M. Curtis, vice president; Thomas Walker, vice president; Dr. P. W. Price, vice president and C. W. Banton, secretary. Mr Banton is also the cashier
The Prudential can boast of a well representative board of directors. The board, in addition to the officers, is composed of Attorney Jas. A. Cobb; Dr. W. L. Board; Dr. E. G. Evans; Mr. Geo. A. Robinson; Mr. L. A. Schenck; Attorney Chas. S. Hill; Mr. A. F. Jackson; Dr. J. Hayden Johnson; Mr. F. Morris Murray; Dr. H. S. Pope; Dr. J. C. Dowling; Mr. A. N. Scurlock; Mr. W. H. Thompson; Attorney L. Mendez King; Mr. Geo. A. Robinson; Mr. M. S. Koonce; Prof. G. C. Wilkerson; Mr. E. S. Heywood; Mr. J. H. Maxwell and Attorney Mortimer M. Harris.
A record number of desposits, both in volume and number are expected Monday, the opening day. The bank will remain open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., to receive deposits and for general inspection by the public. The public is cordially invited to come and inspect this modern bank.
The Prudential Bank's capital permits is to do banking in all its features. Besides the general banking business which will be carried on by the Prudential Bank, it will also have an up-to-the-minute savings department.
In order to encourage thrift among the young people, a number of gleanors will be distributed among the children. These gleanors, which will be given to children for ten cents apiece, will hold various amounts; when full, the amounts are to be deposited in the Prudential. Another savings feature will be the Home Savings banks; these banks are
FRENCH SEGREGATION ISSUE UP TO POINCARE
FRENCH SEGREGATION ISSUE UP TO POINCARE
Paris, France—Complaints about the attitude of the American tourists toward colored citizens of France have been made to Premier Poincaré by Negro deputies in the French parliament. Colored citizens of France feel that travelers from overseas who fail to realize the absolute equality of the races here and the total absence of a color line, should be made to understand these things before leaving home in order not to violate French susceptibility in this direction.
A certain amount of satisfaction probably will be granted to the colored deputies in this matter by Premier Poincaré re. One plan is to close for a definite period all places that decline to serve patrons on account of objections raised by white patrons.

made up like one of Frederick Douglass's books and is leather bound. It is a convenient bank to have in the home for the saving of small amounts.
Only the latest and most modern banking systems of keeping accounts will be used in the Prudential. Commercial accounts can have monthly statements of their accounts furnished them free if they so desire.
The Prudential bank has an authorized capital of $200,000. It has met all of the requirements of the Comptroller of Currency and has been given its certificate authorizing it to do business in the District of Columbia under the supervision of the U. S. Government.
When the board of directors was sent to the Comptroller of Currency for approval, the Comptroller was so well pleased with it that he at once suggested to the bank officials that they make the Prudential a national bank. The Comptroller thought a Negro National bank should be established here.
The Prudential Bankbuilding is one of the most beautiful buildings owned by Negroes in Washington. Like the Whitelaw Hotel, the Southern Aid building; the Lewis building; and Murray Brothers' building, it was designed and constructed entirely by Negroes.
The offices and stores in this building are already filling up with doctors and business men seeking this choice location.
With the opening of the Prudential Bank, Negro business in Washington will add another mile stone to its progress.

GUILT
LONG GRUELING FAILS TO MAKE MAN ADMIT GUILT
Police Have No Bertillon Measurements or Photo of Slayer
The long arm of the law stretched out to Akron, Ohio, last Tuesday and landed a man, claimed by the local police authorities to be Herbert Copeland, 43 years old, slayer of Police Lieutenant David T. Dumigan, policeman John A. Conrad, and L. H. McParlan, a constable from La Plata, Md.
The suspect was arrested in Akron, Ohio, just as he was leaving the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., where he worked. When arrested, he immediately denied his guilt. He was placed in the Akron jail under special guard to await the coming of the officers from the District.
Detectives Kelley and Sweeney left here Tuesday morning and returned with the prisoner Wednesday morning Copeland was heavily chained in his trip from Akron here.
After over four hours of intense grilling by detectives, Copeland stoutly denied that he was the man and stated that his name was Golden and that he had never been in Washington before now.
As the local police department has no Bertillon measurements of the man, they must depend on their memory of his physiognomy.
When Copeland was captured, May 21, 1918, he was so badly wounded that the authorities had to rush him to the hospital. When he was able to leave he was sent to jail without even his picture being made, or any measurements taken. Therefore, because of these facts, the government may find it difficult to definitely establish his identity.
Policemen John A. Conrad, Constable McParlan and Policeman Niles went to 76 I Street northeast on the morning of May 21, 1918 to get Copeland as a material witness in a case. When officers approached the house, it is alleged that Copeland locked himself in. When the officers tried to force him out, he shot from a window upstairs and almost instantly killed Conrad. Running to the back of the house in an effort to escape, he encountered Constable McParlan and officer Niles.
Copeland opened fire on the two men and both fell; McParlan was killed and Niles was badly wounded.
A search was started and Copeland was located in a house at 100 Carrollburg Place southeast. The house was surrounded and Police Lieutenant David T. Dunigan entered the house through the front door and was immediately shot; he died later at Casualty Hospital. Copeland was later captured however and lodged in jail awaiting trial. After remaining in jail 11 months, Copeland made his escape on the morning of April 21, 1919.
At the time of his escape there was some doubt as to whether he could have made his escape through the hole found. It was claimed at the time that some of the other prisoners had killed him and had destroyed his body. Copeland is now confined in the District jail.

NATION WIDE LABOR DRIVE FOR 50,000 LABORERS, COLORED AND WHITE
Two Big Excursions Planned for Labor Day, September 3rd, and Emancipation Day, September 22nd, to Altoona, Pa.
Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, the famous evangelist, pastor of National Cosmopolitan Baptist Institutional Church and president of White Cross Free Labar Bureau of America, main office 921 N Street, N.W., will preach by request the sermon, "Valley of Dry Bones" at 8 p.m. at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church.
Persons who desire work of any kind, both male and female, is requested to register their names with the bureau. Transportations will be made from Washington, D. C., to any part of the North, West, and East, free of charge. No transportations will be sent down South.
Appeals have already been issued to all pastors, ministers, doctors, lawyers, teachers (of both Sunday and public schols) the Press, and other leaders of the race, to aid this most praiseworthy movement.
Dr. Drew stated that undoubtedly God's ways of doing things, would be that all persons irrespective of race or color may be able to secure positions to make livelihoods for their families. No greater sermon could be preached or aid to humanity given than that of taking care of the body as well as the soul of man.
It will reduce jail sentences and crimes. Idleness is Hell.
Dr. Drew's work is endorsed by leading clergymen, members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives.
A loving cup was given by citizens to Dr. Drew for his interest in the case of Mattie Lomax, who was sentenced to be hung. Dr. Drew had it changed to life imprisonment by appealing to President W. H. Taft who committed the sentence, a second loving cup for bringing home the soldiers who were killed at Carrizal, Mexico.
Dr. Drew is a gifted evangelist with peculiar powers. He is deeply interested in his work and the strength of his convictions is carried home to the minds and hearts of his hearers by the forceful manner in which he presents and urges in behalf of the conversion and saving of souls.
He is a gifted preacher endowed with peculiar ability for his work. His sermons are spiritual compositions. His power as an evangelist has won from every denomination the title of an evangelistic artist. —adv.

PERFECT DIME-NOVEL HERO
Thomas Stukely Peer of Any of the Adventurers Who Flourished Under Good Queen Bess.
A career so lurid and impregnated with a dine novel atmosphere has scarcely ever been seen outside the covers of the penny dreadfuls as fell to the lot of Thomas Stukely as it ran the gamut from matrimony to piracy, interspersed with dashing, gallant and fearless bravery which has caused his name to be remembered when many a better man has sunk to oblivion. Stukely was an adventurer by nature. His mother was Irish and of a very good family, and it is said that he could claim as his father Henry VIII of England. Stukely acquired a great fortune by marrying a lady of wealth and proceeded immediately to spend it with the greatest dispatch. Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruffled it with Raleigh and the best of them at the court of Queen Elizabeth. His first chimerical scheme was to found a kingdom for himself in Florida. Then he went to Ireland and gained considerable influence over Shane O'Neill, the most powerful of the native cheftalts, helping him to gain a decisive battle. Stukely never gave up his career as a merchant and still retained ships which, under the gulse of peaceful traders, committed infamous piracies. On being discovered he went to Spain as a grande and thence to Rome. At the great naval battle of Lepanto he commanded one of the papal ships.—Chicago Journal.
WAVES OF GIGANTIC HEIGHT
Thousands of Tons of Water Not Infrequently Poured Upon Decks of Ocean Vessels.
Even in stormy weather the average height of waves in mid-ocean does not as a rule exceed 30 or 40 feet. Sometimes, however, one enormous wave makes its appearance amidst the rest. Why this should happen no one can say. All we know is that a mighty mass of water rushes suddenly toward a ship at the appalling speed of over 100 miles an hour.
If the ship can meet such a wave with her hows she will ride over it, though thousands of tons of water may sweep over her decks. But if the wave is following her and rushes at her from the stern, she may fall to rise. Many a good ship has gone to her doom in this way.
These vast mountains of water rise sometimes to a height of more than a hundred feet—as high as the spire of a church. They have been known to extinguish the mast-head lights of sailing ships.
Sometimes on a perfectly calm day there will be a sudden troubling of the surface of the sea, and without the slightest warning a wave 150 feet high will appear.
Plant Societies.
It appears that the knowledge of botany has been greatly advanced by the development of what may be called the sociology of plants, that is, the study of their relations to one another, as well as their adjustments to surroundings. Botanists recognize that plants are not scattered haphazard over the globe, but are organized into definite communities. A pond has its plant society, all the members of which fall into their proper places. A swamp-forest consists of trees possessing a certain social relationship, and differing from those that form a forest on dry land. There is progress slow from one social organization of plants to another. A 'illy-pond may give place to a swamp-shrubs, and this, again, to a swamp-forest of tamarack, plna and hemlock. So societies of plants on dry lands succeed one another as the conditions change.
Cause of Volcanic Explosions
Volcanic explosions are commonly regarded as the release of stores of energy kept confined by external pressure, and boiled explosions and geyser eruptions are typical of this class of outbreaks. An expert of the United States geophysical laboratory finds that another class of explosions, that of explosive mixtures like gunpowder, are not likely to occur in volcanoes. But a third class, that of explosive compounds brought into contact with oxygen or water, is more probably the usual source of volcanic explosions, and is illustrated by aluminum sesquioxide—finely divided—brought into such relation with water in the electric furnace that mechanical detonation causes violent explosion. The dust of Mont Pelée may have been analogous to the aluminum sesquioxide.
The Indians' "Pipe of Peace."
The calumet, the "pipe of peace" of the American Indians, was used on all ceremonial occasions, but especially when treaties of peace were being ratified. Each warrior took a solemn puff from the pipe as it was passed around the circle. Native tobacco, with which willow bark or sumac leaves were mixed, was smoked. The bowl of the pipe was made of white stone in the East and Southeast. In the West it was made of a red clay obtained from the famous pipestone quarry of Minnesota, mentioned in Longfellow's "Hiawatha." The pipe had a very long stem, made sometimes of wood, sometimes of reed. Feathers, porcupine quills and women's hair were used as decorations on the stem. The name "calumet" originated with the French Canadians.
Millicent Ends a Feud
By DOROTHY WHITCOMB
(©, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.)
The night before my father died he called me to his bedside. He had become conscious at the end, after three months of speechless stupor, just as the doctor had anticipated.
"Milly," he whispered, "when I am dead you will have enough to live upon. I want you to promise never to sell the old homestead."
"I promise, my dear," I answered, and that was all. He seemed to have called himself back to life with one wild effort in order to get my promise. He died at four o'clock in the morning.
"Of course, you'll sell now, Miss Street," my friends told me, and they laughed when I announced my intention of refusing. So did Mr. James' lawyer when he called on me a few days later.
"Well, young lady," he said, setting down his hat and staring hard at me, "you can guess what I have called to see you about, I suppose?"
"Perhaps," I answered enigmatically.
"You know that for seven years Mr. James has been trying to get the Street homestead. The assessed value of your property is, I believe, four thousand dollars. Mr. James offers you fifteen thousand."
"He rose from four thousand to fifteen thousand in seven years," I answered. "But I wouldn't sell it for a hundred thousand. In fact, I won't sell it at all. My father might have sold once, although the homestead was naturally dear to him. But when Mr. James began his persecutions—"
"That was old Mr. James," interrupted the Jawyer, frowning, "Mr. Cyprian James had, I admit, a vindictive nature. Mr. Harold James, however, is a fine gentleman. Mr. James is coming South to live, and wants your place for a shooting box."
"No," I answered. "It isn't for sale."
One morning a few days later I saw that a series of boards had been put up all around my little property in the night. I went down to look at them. There were ten in all, and each bore in large letters the words: "TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED."
The road led from the garden through a mile of James land to Hicksville. A man was waiting at the gate of the garden, and I hadn't set foot outside before he came hurriedly forward.
"I must ask you to go back," he said, taking off his hat respectfully. He seemed a gentleman, although he was dressed like a tramp. "You may not know that this is a private road. I must request that you step back upon your own territory."
"Indeed, I shall do no such thing," I replied angrily. "I utterly defy you and your old road."
I returned from town about an hour later.
I was very lonely. I had written to a girl chum to come down from Richmond and stay with me until I had decided upon my plans, but I had never contemplated being marooned. What if that Wicked Harold James really meant to let me starve to death there? I wasn't too joyful when I awoke next morning.
I looked out of the window. Close to the gate, tied to a short stake by a very long chain, was the most savage-looking bull I had ever seen. He had his head down, and as I approached the garden gate he gave one bellow and began to paw the ground furiously.
I tried to compute the length of that chain.
I saw that he could not reach the garden.
Then I took heart again. The chain was too short. I could pass the bull with several feet to spare.
I felt so infuriated that, as I passed the snorting monster, I snapped my fingers at it. Next instant, with a roar, the creature leaped at me. And then—well, for the first time in my life I fainted.
I could not have been unconscious long, for when I opened my eyes the bull was feeding a short distance away, as peacefully as though it had never had thoughts of violence toward me. And the gamekeeper was bending over me, a look of agonized reproach upon his face.
"I didn't mean to do it—indeed I didn't," he was saying over and over again. Won't you forgive me?
"I suppose you have to earn your wages," I answered curtly.
"Are you—engaged?" inquired the man, paling.
"What business is it of yours?" I demanded.
"Because," he said, "I am Harold James."
"I might have guessed it from your actions." I answered.
And then Mr. Harold James suddenly caught hold of my hands.
"Millicent," he said pleadingly, don't you remember how we used to be sweetheartse when we were at school together and how you promised some day to marry me? I've been crazy over you ever since. Millicent, may I have a chance to win you?" I could not help laughing.
"You may call on me next Wednesday evening, after my friend, Miss Jones, gets here," I answered.
Well, the Street homestead is still standing, and it will never be sold as long as I am alive. But it is used now mainly as a shooting box, for the James mansion is so much more convenient and comfortable.
By GRACE R. OLIN.
(© 1921 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
The third of July dawned reluctantly and sultry. Outside, the sounds of the day were already heard.
Inside, the Raff flat was commencing to show signs of the beginning of the daily routine.
Mrs. Raff, smart in her morning dress of striped blue and white, was putting the finishing touches to little Anna's and the baby's toilet.
"Jimmie," she called to James, Jr., "didn't you call grandma, yet?"
"didn't you can grandpa, yet?
"Sure," answered the eight-year-old heir; "but grandpa says he isn't going to eat any breakfast this morning; he says he's got a 'gagement."
"A what?" with a puzzled frown.
"A 'gagement,' shrieked Jimmie, above the clatter of the dishes, as he vigorously set the breakfast table.
"I can't be guessing now," replied his wife. "He ain't going to see mother until tomorrow. Jim," she added, lowering her voice, "this is the second time this week he's gone without his breakfast; the other time he had an engagement, too."
"Hint anything?"
"No, aim, he's as mum as a clam. If Elie's house was not so far away I would suspect him of going to see mother. He's getting pretty restless lately, I've noticed.
Mrs. Raff sighed in a grieved fashion. "We can't have everything we want in this world," she continued. Now, wouldn't I love to go to Ellen's for the Fourth, dressed up swell, with you and the kids. But we can't afford it, costs too much for fares.
"I'd like pretty frocks, and a car, and cute clothes for the young ones, and some new things for the house. But if I can't, I can't, and I ain't going to mope over it. I've tried to make a nice home for father, but if he don't appreciate it, and tries to keep things from me, I can't do a thing. But I do say as how I think it's kinder ungrateful like."
Mrs. Roff deposited Baby Johnnie in his high chair, and stepping across the hall, she knocked on her father's door.
"Father," she called, "it's terrible hot out this morning, you'd better have an egg and some coffee to brace you up. Come on, we're just sitting down."
"I'll be out in a minute, Nellie," the voice inside had answered.
It was quite some five minutes later that the Raff family suffered a severe shock. They had heard the warning of steps, but they were altogether unprepared for the apparition that stood in the doorway. She had seen her husband's eyes fairly bulge over his coffee cup, and had heard Junior's excited exclamation, before she turned to look.
"Patrick Henry Grandman," she cried, quite ignoring the / familiar "father" in her wonder.
"Wherever in the world did you get the fine duids and where, I ask, are you going?"
For answer, Mr. Patrick Henry Grandman advanced jauntily into the room.
His eyes were twinkling, but when he spoke his tone was calmness itself.
"Nellie," he said, "did you think your old dad was content to wear old togs and work in the factory for twenty dollars a week, when I worked full time?
"Did you think I wanted to be separated from your blessed mother? But I was tied, hand and foot. First, I was sick, and then your mother, then they cut us down to half a week's work and I had my trade and could do nothing else.
"Well, Nellie, to make a long story short, I've been working on an invention. I've thought of it and dreamed of it and at last my dream has come true. Nellie, I signed the Declaration of Independence last night when I sold it to the government." He placed a roll of bills at her plate.
"Celebrate tomorrow," he told her.
"But, father," broke in Mrs. Raff.
"you aren't going to leave me. I won't—"
Patrick Henry Grandman raised his hand.
"Didn't I tell you, girl, I had signed the Declaration of Independence? Your mother and I will never be bossed again." He patted her hand as he spoke, and for the first time his daughter could find no answer.
And meanwhile, down in Ellen's house some sixty odd miles away, a little old lady was smoothing down her soft black silk, and white laces, with hands that shook.
"No, thank you, Ellen," she was saying. "I don't want to do it myself. Patrick always liked it the way I did it."
It was rather an awestruck little throng that watched them depart the next day. The flag waved proudly from their automobile, and around them and above them burst firecrackers and the crack of Jimmie Junior's pistol.
"Dearest," he whispered, as the big red car rolled off, "we've got good children, but I'm glad we are going-to be together, just you and I."
"Patrick Henry," exclaimed his wife, anxiously, "you didn't tell 'em that, did you, dear?"
"Of course not, darling." The corners of his mouth deepened suddenly. "I'm just telling you, dear. Give me liberty or give me death," quoted Patrick Henry.
Don't Scatter Your Dollars
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.

OVER THE HOME
BREW
By "THE MONOPED"
When the fellow sitting next to you says the only toast you know—oh, boy, don't you get all het up?
* * * *
I'll tell the pop-eyed world that if hard luck was sand, yours truly would own a seashore.
We've all met Love; entertained Love; fed Love; been worried by Love; been made happy by Love; and—would have died for Love. Yet—we don't know what Love is.
Girl, here's hoping that some day we can by the process of love separate the Y from "your" father and make him "our" father.
What is home without the fodder?
There are three things a man must have; they are love and love and love.
Let's light the weeds and smoke;
Let's fill the glasses and drink.
Say something foolish and call it a joke—
You'll hurt yourself if you think.
Ham—Say, boob, how fast can your car go?"
Sandwich—Well, to be exact, about two blow-outs an hour."

More Rest for Harry Wills
A number of what is termed have been in order this year, and situation just as it has stood for it. In July 1920, Dempsey was chaired Today, Dempsey still wears the formidable as his logical opponent. Firpo's victory over Williard him and the champion. The Sh Gibbons in the running for a retire. Firpo, a foreigner, shows impulse is to lead him to the slaughter his power. Put the match off a year and carry the title to South America by American promoters to get rich. No better joke than the Dempsey wished on the public. Think of weight championship going fifteen time neither man is hurt and not. A change in affairs may chance to restore the title to the I tunity will present itself this year. Only one championship match October the season for outdoor these days are too big to pull the Firpo next in line it means 1924 country which is quite unlikely.
A number of what is termed elimination heavyweight matches have been in order this year, and the settlements still leave the situation just as it has stood for the past three years.
In July 1920, Dempsey was champion with Wills his chief rival. Today, Dempsey still wears the crown and Wills looms just as formidable as his logical opponent.
Firpo's victory over Williard means an early meeting between him and the champion. The Shelby farce of July Fourth put Gibbons in the running for a return fight.
Firpo, a foreigner, shows improvement with each fight. The idea is to lead him to the slaughter before he reaches the zenith of his power. Put the match off a year and Firpo may beat Dempsey and carry the title to South America. Every effort will be made by American promoters to get rid of Firpo this year.
No better joke than the Dempsey-Gibbons fiasco has ever been wished on the public. Think of a battle for the world's heavy-weight championship going fifteen rounds, and at the end of which time neither man is hurt and not a single knock-down is scored.
A change in affairs may come giving Wills his long awaited chance to restore the title to the Race, but we doubt if such opportunity will present itself this year.
Only one championship match will be staked this year. After October the season for outdoor bouts ends. Purses demanded these days are too big to pull them off indoors, consequently with Firpo next in line it means 1924 for Wills or a fight in a foreign country which is quite unlikely.
Trailing the Potomacs
The refusal of Clark Griffith to allow the Potomacs to play white clubs at the American League park has put the club management to a great disadvantage. Many white semi-pro clubs in and around Philadelphia and New York with former big leaguers in their line-up had been booked to play here but the ruling of the park authorities forced these games to be cancelled.
* * * * *
Physicians have warned Manager Taylor that if he does not lay off for a while and give his bad leg time to get well he may be forced to quit before the season ends never to return.
The tactfulness of Manager Taylor probably averted a riot in Germantown, Pa., last week. Albrritten pitching for the locals got peeved at the frequent raw decisions of the umpires and took occasion to tell one of them just) what he thought for which he was sent to the showers. The Potomacs were playing a white team and the crowd was about 50 per cent each color. The colored fans took offense to the umpire's decision and were about to swarm the field when Taylor sensing trouble made his men play ball.
Perry the latest addition to the ranks is the former Richmond Giant third-sacker. Perry was about the last man of what was probably the greatest team in the country last season to sign-up elsewhere. He is a remarkable player in the field and a fair hitter.
* * * *
With a little more aggressiveness and use of his brain "Bucky" Ridgeley would be a world-beater but unfortunately the local product will slumber.
* * * *
Clark and Goodrich electrified the faithful on Sunday with scintillating stops. Clark is probably the most popular player on the team with the local bugs.
Although the Potomacs dropped three straights to the Hilldale in their first meeting of the season the team was not outclassed. The Philadelphia aggregation is unquestionably the best in the east and quite probably in the country.
The scarcity of first-class colored teams was felt when the management made frantic efforts to get a well-known attraction here Sunday. The Weldon Giants were recommended to the club officials as ranking next to the Black Sox in Maryland. The Giants however failed to make a creditable showing. The fans will not see them here again.
After being hit hard on Wednesday, Wayne Carr was sent back at the Hilldale on Saturday and for six innings stood Bolden's men on their heads. The strain however was too

On Sunday July 22, the Va. All-Stars of Alexandria, will play the Gladiator A. C. on diamond No. 8, at one o'clock. The All-Stars have been going at a fast rate this summer so far and have lost only one game. This promises to be one of the best amateur games of the season.
On last Sunday the E. Wash. Braves forfeited to the Gladiators by failing to appear for the game although it had been scheduled by the Business Manager, for over a month. It is to be regretted that some managers think so little of their honor, that, having scheduled a game and finding it impossible to play the same, they will not even write to the opposing team for a cancellation.
JACK JOHNSON TALKS
Jack Johnson when questioned in Indianapolis last week as to the heavyweight championship prospects replied, "There are three persons in the world who can knock-out Jack Dempsey, they are Firpo, Harry Wills and Jack Johnson."

Home Run Lands Game for Hilldale in Ninth
Philadelphia, Pa.—Inserted in the game in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter, "Big Bertha" Santop, the portly catcher of Hilldale, slammed out enough hits to defeat the Washington Potomacs at Hilldale park, the game ending by the score of 6 to 3 in favor of Hilldale. In the seventh inning, with two men out and J. Johnson on second base, Santop hit a double scoring the first run for Hilldale.
In the ninth inning, with the score 3 to 2, in favor of the Potomacs, Santop came up with the bases loaded and no one out and hit the first ball pitched over the right field wall for a home run.
Wayne Carr pitched a good game up to the closing innings when he weakened and Hilldale scored enough runs to win before he could be removed.
Hampton pitching for Hilddale, was hit hard in the fifth inning where the Potomacs made all their runs on a single by Perry, Jefferson was safe on an infield hit, Woods sacrificed perfectly and Carr hit a double, scoring Carr with their third and last run.
Jefferson and Mackey furnished the fielding thrills.

REID MUSIC STORE EXPANDS
In taking over the store room recently occupied by George W. Taylor, the Reid Music Store has increased its floor space one hundred per cent. G. B. Reid, the proprietor, opened the music store last October, in the room where he ran a barber shop for several years. He has made remarkable progress.
In the new arrangement, Mr. Reid has added two booths for record playing. A display counter for sheet music and another show case. This gives him another show window and enhances the appearance of the place.
The Reid Music Store carries a complete line of muscial instruments, sheet music, pianos, rolls and graphaphone records.
Being a first class violin maker and repairer, Mr. Reid has built up a large patronage in string instruments, and the repair work connected therewith.
HINES STANDS BY HIS LETTER
(Continued from page 1)
this hospital controversy they very clearly belie themselves, for, no matter what arrangement is made, there is compelled to be a very intimate contact between the black patients and the white personnel. It could not be otherwise in a hospital, and one is just a little afraid that these people are willing to sacrifice their sensitive spirit in these matters if the question of economics is injected. The unusually attractive salaries offered by the Government for positions at this hospital have been the magic that has made them forget that contact with a black man is distasteful.
The arguments which they have put up against a colored personnel are ridiculous and childish. First, they claimed that colored professional men
were not competent; but is was very easy to demonstrate to the officials of the Veterans' Bureau that the Negro race affords professional men of the highest degree of skill and efficiency, and large numbers of eminent physicians and dentists gave willing testimonials to the fitness of colored professional men. Then they put forth the claim that there were not enough colored professional men. The National Medical Association, with a membership of 2,000 colored physician, dentists and pharmacists, presented a list of more than three times as many men as were necessary.
The argument was then put forth that the colored disabled soldiers preferred white doctors. It cannot be considered that the colored soldiers are any different from the general mass of colored people, and the large practices which are enjoyed by practically all colored physicians and dentists are sufficient proof that colored people have confidence in colored professional men.
As a clinching argument, the claim was made that Tuskegee Institute, with the Veterans' Hospital and a colored staff, would create a condition inimical to the citizens of the Town of Tuskegee, that there would be such a preponderance of Negroes in the community that the lives of the white citizens would be in jeopardy. They further argued that the Negro soldiers were already shell-shocked and many of them mentally unbalanced, and it would be impossible to prevent bootleggers and dope vendors from selling their ware to them, and that when these disabled veterans became charged with bad liquor and dope a colored staff would be unable to control them.
It is ridiculous that supposedly thoughtful men would lead themselves to believe such a preposterous proposition. What chance would Negroes, either at Tuskegee or anywhere else in the South, have against the whites in an uprising? The police force, the militia, ammunition and the co-operation of adjacent communities and States are all at the disposal of the white people, and the Negroes have practically nothing.
But none of these reasons is the real reason. The real reason has been stated above, and that reason is money.
This action on the part of the people of Alabama is nothing less than defiance of the United States Government. The Federal Government decides on one thing and the people of Alabama decide that it shall not be. This is insurrection. The South is crying against the nullification of the Eighteenth Amendment, and this act and everything else connected with the consideration and treatment of the Negro are more flagrant acts of nullification than are aimed against the Eighteenth Amendment, for one is merely aganist a beverage and the other is against human souls.
The Government has left but one of three things to do—first, open the hospital as it has been decided under a Negro personnel, with the protection of Fdeeral troops (not State troops); second, make the institution a hospital for white soldiers under a white personnel and give or erect another hospital in more favorable surroundings to the Negro soldiers, under a Negro personnel; third, abandon the hospital.

START CAMPAIGN AGAINST
SICKNESS AND DEATH
Dallas, Texas, July 19—The Grand Lodge, Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas has started an active campaign to reduce the sick and death rates of Negroes in this State. The campaign will be waged through its 35,000 members, composed of men nad women distributed in 800 lodges covering every section of Texas where Negroes live. Negroes will be instructed in the fundamentals of hygiene and sanitation, and told how to keep well so as to stay on the job and make themselves more efficient workers. They will be urged to cooperate with local, state and national health authorities in all efforts that are made to eradicate communicable and preventable diseases.

THEATRE NOTES
GASNIER ASSISTS IN NEW FORMAN PICTURE
Professional jealousy is not necessarily a consideration between famous directors. Gasnier and Tom Forman, who are making special productions at the Schulberg Studios for Preferred Pictures, are like brothers. Forman's film, "The Girl Who Came Back," to be shown next Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Lincoln Theatre in the opening titles don't say anything about Gasnier being an assistant director, but that is actually what happened when Forman was working all one night to catch up on his schedule toward the completion of the picture.
Gasnier, who had finished the day's work on his big spectacle, "Poor Men's Wives," was preparing to go home when he stopped on Forman's set to watch the "shooting" for a few minutes. He became so interested in the scene under way that when the camera stopped clicking he approached Forman with "Give me a job for tonight." Forman gladly replied, "All right, you can be assistant director if you will."
Gasnier promptly took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and worked until morning under Forman's orders.

Twilight Flashes
The Piedmont-Teddy Bear game next Sunday will likely be worth a long trip to see. The entire pennant race may hinge on this game. Manager Bland will likely hurl for the league leaders, while Mannger Fells has named Ed. Barner.
Makel was unable to increase his base-stealing record on Sunday. Briscoe nipped the Deanwood flash off the first-sack trying to get a lead on one occasion.
Tom Barnes has been declared ineligible for further competition until an investigation of his case can be made.
Although it was rumored that the Asburys had thrown up the sponge the team put in its appearance Sunday and gave the Tigers a pretty stiff fight. One thing can be said that not one of the seven clubs in the league is a quitter.
Hughes was signed up by the Piedmonts after his clever performance on the rubber for the Veterans Bureau team against the Treasury in the Department.
The managers voted the Deanwood grounds unfit for further play and authorized all league games transferred elsewhere.

LeRovers Defeat Shiloh
On last Saturday, Ralph Barbour's LeRover A. C's defeated the Shiloh Sunday School nine by the score of 7 to 4. The game was an abbreviated affair, being called after seven innings by agreement.
As on his previous appearance 'Bill' Hager was in great form, allowing but four hits and fanning ten, while Barksdale and Craige, doing mound duty for Shiolh were hit freely, being found on eleven hits.
The outstanding features of the game were the clouting of M. Caul, who got four hits out of four trips to the plate, and the defensive work of Earl Tolls who patrolled right field. The work of Hager and his battery-mate, Watkins, could not be over shadowed. The score by innings:

THE NEW BANK AND WHAT IT MEANS
The last vestige of an excuse of the Negroes of Washington for
failing to patronize their own banks will be wiped out Monday,
when the Prudential Bank opens its doors for business.
With the opening of the Prudential, the race in Washington
will have three tvpes of banks in which to do business: the com-
mercial and savings type in the Prudential, the strictly savings
type in the Industrial, and the private type, in the Union Labor-
ers Bank. Hence the excuses for not patronizing Negro banks
are eliminated.
The Prudential is the first bank of its kind, operated by the race,
to open for business in the District. In fact, the Prudential has
the potential power of a National Bank and it is possible and
probable that it will become one before many months.
The economic and commercial opportunities of the race are
enhanced and widened by the opening of the Prudential. A strong
bank is the nucleus around which commercial enterprises are
biult. The Prudential will be made as strong as the Negroes of
Washington want a bank to be. They have the potential power
within their grasp to make of this bank the largest and best one
of the race in this country.
There are 112,324 Negroes in Washington. There is a larger
number of federal employees here than can be found in any other
city of this country. If their checks were all cleared through |
our own banks, just think of-the volume of business that it would
amount to ina vear. There are 756 public school teachers whose |
checks total more than a million a year. There are about thirty|
colored drug stores here which should patronize our banks and)
the volume of their business should veach another million. The
undertakers, the professional men, and the other business men
and women should practice what they desire others to do when |
they seek their patronage. By concentrating our deposits with |
the three colored banks of the District we would be surprised at)
the resources and power it would make available for us.
Take any city of 100,000 inhabitants and study their banking
facilities and compare any one of them with our 112,324 Negro
population of Washington and the number of banks and re- |
sources, Yonkers, N. Y., has 100,176 people. Tt has six banks |
with $50,590,690 in resources. Norfolk, Va., has 115,577 people, |
13 banks with $75,930,560 in resources. Roanoke, Va.. has 50,842 i
people, 9 banks with $33,330,000 in resources. Charlotte, N. C.,1,
has 46,338 people, 13 banks with $39,129,358. Compare these |
showings with, Washington’s 112,234 Negroes. with two banks |,
today having resources of less than $750,000. Any little old town |,
of 10,000 people will have four or more banks with resources of |,
more than $10,000,000. Therefore, the Negroes of Washington |
should rally to their three banks, and deposit their money in one}
or the other or all three of them and build their own resources up |,
to a creditable amount. |
It is an evident fact that we have more than $25,000,000 on |,
deposit here in other banks. Does it look consistent to have the |
lowest rate of illiteracy for colored people of any city in the coun-
try, and yet have more money in the white banks than any other |
city in the country? Is it consistent to boast of education and a |
high number of college graduates, and yet have the lowest per-
centage of commercial enterprises and the smallest volume of |
pusiness? It is consistent to boast of our fine city and our oppor-
nities here, but yet not help make the opportunities more tan-),
gible?
The opening of the Prudential bank should mean the passing
of another milestone in our economic and commercial develop-
ment in this city. Our deposits should rise in colored banks. \
Our commercial enterprises should multiply by financing thru;
these banks. Our facilities for employing more of our own gradu- |,
ates should be enhanced and our financial prestige should rise ,
to commanding recognition where such recognition counts.
Will you open a new account in one of the colored banks next |
week? ;

The Negroes of America will not make much progress as a}
race, until they have a few hundred funerals and get rid of the
enemies within the race. This fact was again forced upon the
race this week by a statement from one Wallace A. Battle, in
Boston.
Mr. Battle is principal of an elementary school at Okolona,
Miss., with some three hundred pupils from the kindergarten tothe
eighth grade. He has placed himself on record as favoring that
“the Negroes show a spirit of magnanimity and yield to the
white people of Alabama in the controversy over the Veterans
Hospital at Tuskegee.” . Mr. Battle “would have the hospital put

-the same plan was put in foree concerning Mr. Battle’s school?
Let the Negroes select a white Southerner for principal of his
school, and he would raise a howl. ~
It is this type of would-be leader among Negroes whose com-
promisings and toadyings counteract the efforts of those who are
striving for real race progress, based upon racial consciousness.
The very thought of a Negro recommending a white Southerner
to head any kind of institution which is exclusively for Negroes
is repugnant to one whose racial consciousness has been aroused.
Of course there are hundreds whose racial consciousness lies dor-
mant, and whose intelligence is undeveloped as is the case with
Mr. Battie; and they are proving to be enemies within the ranks.
The sooner the race realizes the impediment of its hundreds of
Uncle Toms, one of whom Battle proves himself to be, and gets
rid of them by ostracism or otherwise, the sooner the race will be
on its true road to racial progress based upon righteous and sen-
sible race consciousness. Away with Battle and his ilk.

met a most appreciative audience. Dr.

them at his beautiful home. They
were impressed especially with
the magnificent campus and landscape

master mind in Dr. Shepard.
In Greensboro at the “A. and T. Col-

ceived a hearty reception largely thra
the indefatigable efforts of Dr. Alex.
Rviera, dentist, who interested him-
self in working up the citizens interest
and succeeded admirably. He is an
active young man and knows all the
influential white citizens well. He is
a school Trustee also. At Sedalia,
N. C,, ten miles from Greensboro may
be found one of the finest buildings
on any’ Negro campus, the main buld-
ing known as “Palmer Memorial”.
Concerning the “A. and T. College”
at Greensboro, it would be timely to
note that this institution, receiving
recently about $600,000 for building
and teachers’ salaries, has received
more revenue for educational purposes
than any other school. That's im-

Dear Editor: There is scarcely a chapter in the American history where any battle has been fought for liberty and justice where the Negro has not done his part, from 1770 down to the World War.
In 1770 when Boston was young, and the British were invading the Colonies, a Negro by the name of Crispus Attucks seeing how the British soldiers marched through Boston as though they had conquered it, was so aroused that he joined in with the protesting citizens and assaulted the British soldiers.
Attucks was leader of the American citizens. He was killed along with three white men. It is claimed that Attucks was the first man killed.
This brave man is honored by the city of Boston. A monument was erected in his memory in that city. LOUISE MOSS (14)
DO YOU DO YOUR SHARE?
(Republished from the issue of February 25, 1922, by request.)
Have you ever noticed a friend of yours shrug his shoulders when mother or father tells him or asks him to do some task?
Do you pout, frown, or act meanly when your parents ask you to do something? If so—do you realize that any task you are asked to perform is for your benefit in a large degree?
Suppose mother says, "Wash the dishes" or "Bring in a hod of coal"; isn't it true that you dirtied some of the dishes and if "you" fail to wash them some one else will have to do it. If you are being warmed by the fire or if you are eating the food cooked over the fire, isn't it a duty to yourself and for yourself, more than a favor to mother, to bring in a bit of coal?
Learn to earn the things you enjoy.
Have you noticed a certain class of boys, youths, and men, who live on the corners—who are always without money—who have no homes—who know not where the next meal is coming from? Those frail, weak makeshifts of humanity started life by not wanting to help earn their enjoyments. They frowned and pouted when mother wanted a task done. It grew into them with age, and now when they should be doing tasks for themselves—thinking of owning homes, or having businesses that will care for them in their old age, these failures turn out to be bent, broken, people depending on relatives, friends, or the community for support.
Next time mother or father asks you to do a task, stop what you may be doing and perform the task at once; for in so doing you will cause a song to rise in the hearts of your parents, you will be helping to earn your living, and you will be keeping God's fifth commandment.

EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE
A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS
FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY
(Continued from last week)
THE "DEMOCRACY OF CHILDHOOD," GROUP, WATERBURY, CONN.
George E. Bissell, Sculptor
A Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial at Waterbury, Connecticut, has a most notable and inspiring group which comes within scope of our subject.
This group and the monument of which it is a part are the work of George E. Bissell, whose Lincoln Memorial in Edinburgh, has already been discussed. While this Waterbury group seemingly was not intended primarily as an "Emancipation" group, yet to commemorate that event, or at least its consummation, was one of the purposes of the sculptor.
The Waterbury Memorial as a whole is so exceptionally tasteful, yet so expressive; so un-ostentatious, yet so appealing; that I wish the occasion would permit an attempt at an analysis and interpretation of it in all of its parts.
It was dedicated in 1884, nearly ten years earlier than the Edinburgh work. It is a matter of no small moment that so small a city as Waterbury should undertake and construct such an imposing and costly memorial to the nine hundred men

shows a practical patriotism and
art-sense that is truly remarkable.
Concerning the particular group
which interests us now, it may be
said that nothing needs to be added
to the description and but little, if
anything, to the interpretation which
was given of it at the dedication by
the Reverend Joseph Anderson, D.D.
He said of it:

"The central figure in the group is seated in a chair of state, the panellled back of which is occupied by a wreath of oak leaves and laurel; and within this, in a medallion, is an eagle, from whose beak depends a tablet bearing the word 'Emancipation,' the key, of course, to the meaning of the group.
"The seated figure, whose face is full of motherly tenderness, leans forward in an attitude of listening. Her clasped hands rest on a large book which stands on her knee; her right foot is upon a cannon, beside which is a broken shackle. The fillet which binds her hair is ornamented with a miniature shield, graven with stars and stripes, which marks her out as representing the American government. A well-dressed schoolboy—his bundle of books beside him—stands at her knee; and while she leans forward to listen to him she looks benignly upon a ragged little Negro sitting on a cotton-bale at her feet, who holds in one hand a hoe, and is trying with the other to force open the leaves of the book upon her knee. In the school-boy, making an earnest appeal in behalf of the young Negro, the North is represented (by
By
MORRIS MURRAY
one of its children—for children have no prejudices and know no color-line) as appealing to the Government to extend to the African race the educational and other advantages which white people, North and South, had long enjoyed. And the Negro, who represents an emancipated people, illustrates by his position and action the eager desire of his race to secure the education which they know to be necessary to success in a free republic."
If indeed this Negro boy represents his race mentally—as he plainly does physically—it would be difficult to express, concerning the race, anything more complimentary and reassuring. The black boy, though the hoe is still in his hand, attempts with the other hand to "force open the leaves of the book", in order that he can secure the treasures therein. I know of nothing in American art that is more frankly and generously complimentary to Black Folk. Only a deep discernment, and a generous and noble heart would have conceived and proposed such a thing, even in Connecticut—the home state of Prudence.
needed—the home state of Prudence Crandall, but alas, the state which in Miss Crandall's day had not reached her stature. (See footnote.) Only a generous and noble community, and above all an intelligent community, would have sanctioned such a representation.
1
Another idea that is set forth by this group is beautiful and true—the freedom from prejudice, the fundamental democracy, of childhood. The Reverend Doctor Anderson brought it out in his description, but I think it may profitably be pressed a little further. As I have stated, the idea is not only beautiful but true; and we should never look at this group or a picture of it, not even think of it, without remembering this, among the important lessons which it teaches. Those of us who were reared in an environment where the children of our own race were relatively few, will perhaps bear strongest witness to its truth. From experience, we also know the truth of that which the sculptor himself has explicitly affirmed, that "race prejudice is the result of training, to which only grown-ups are subject." (This statement is taken from a letter to the author.)
Hence, besides having other excellences this group is an everlasting reminder of the falsity of the recently enunciated claim—seemingly the "last ditch" of those who are fighting against the teaching and the spirit of the times—the claim that there is a natural and instinctive aversion of one race for another. Hereafter, when a person seriously asserts this doctrine; when he seeks to buttress his cultivated prejudice and calculated meanness by this claim, we need not argue with him, we may merely refer him to this group—or show him a picture of it—this eloquent testimony in bronze, this noble group of Bissell's to which I have given the name, "The

(Letter Series No. 7)
Here is a picture of a native of Africa hearing, for the first time, music played on a graphophone.
There are several things we would like to know.
How did he come into possession of the machine? What is he thinking about it? Is he interested, amused.
So far as I know, Mr. Bissell has given no name to this group nor sanctioned one for it; nor has he designated what he regards as the main idea in it. It might be called "Negro Aspiration," or "The Glory of Emancipation," or perhaps some other more expressive name. I would like to call it by the latter of the two names just mentioned, although the phrase may sound somewhat grandiloquent; fore surely, the greatest good and therefore the greatest glory, of Emancipation was the fact that it made possible, and to some degree attainable, for the Negro boy, what had been impossible and forbidden before. (The relatively few colored children in the free states who had more or less access to schools are excepted.) I refer to education. It was the possibility of obtaining that, that was Emancipation's greatest boon.
But perhaps the name which I have presumed to give the group is more in keeping with what appears to be its dominant idea. Except for the purpose of identification, there is no serious need of a name. Call the group what you choose, or give it no name at all; it matters not. The really important thing is to appreciate the significance of what Mr. Bissell has here represented and to realize that here we have another instance of what Jarves refers to as, "High Art teaching noble truth."

Footnote:
The "Prudence Crandall Incident" is sketched in John W. Cromwell's book, "The Negro in American History," (page 254) as follows: "Prudence Crandall in 1833 admitted a colored girl as a student to her Girls' Boarding School at Canterbury, Conn. Notwithstanding opposition by whites to her retention Miss Crandall refused to exclude her, and on the withdrawal of white patronage she defiantly opened a school for colored girls. This intensified opposition and caused the enactment of a law making such a school illegal under penalty of fine and imprisonment. Miss Crandall was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced. She refused to pay the fine or permit friends to do so. She was thrust into jail, but was subsequently released."

Government Investigation Shows Increase Of Skilled Laborers in Northern Mills
Justice Tempered with too much Mercy becomes Injustice.
An unexpected phase in the placement of Negro labor passing from the South to northern industries is the inclusion of skilled workers of this class. The Department of Labor made this announcement today from a survey conducted by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, who has been detailed as an observer for the migration now in progress.
The results accrue from a careful analysis of payroll statistics of 273 employers of Negro labor in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
Returns from these firms indicate a heavy intake of Negro labor, but difficulties were encountered in discriminating as to whether those employed were recent migrants or from the class that were already located in the North However, sufficient specific classification is given to suggest that the South is not only yielding up a great mass of unskilled workers, but a remarkable number of skilled hands are finding employment.
Distribution is difficult as to the source of the present Negro labor utility, whether it is directly from the South or is a left-over from the 1916-1919 shift; but the conclusion is safely drawn that the mass of this labor emerges from southern sources and its entire movement is covered in less than five years.
Many employers replying to requests indicated that they were placing Negro labor, but were without definite information as to the number that were purely of Southern origin. Allowances are made for drifters, who are already North, seeking change of locative employment, a disposition strongly characteristic of this labor. Along the New England coast many leases were disclosed wherein Portuguese black men are employed. These, of course, are rare under present immigration restrictions and are represented only by a few hundred units.
Inclusion
Comparisons were made between 42,371 Negro workers, distributable into groups of 10,794 skilled and 31,577 unskilled workers, as of April 30, 1922, and 60,421 Negro workers, distributable into groups of 14,951 skilled and 45,470 unskilled employees as of April 30, 1923, as reported by 273 firms engaged in such typical pursuits as are necessary to produce iron and steel, foodstuffs, leather, machinery, tobacco, automobiles, paper bags, copper goods, boilers, billiard tables, brass articles, chain, bricks, oil, saws, wire railroad equipment, rubber, glass, textiles, chinaware, cement, paper, and varied other articles of necessity and comfort, together with numerous occupations in construction work, railroad work, and transportation.
During the year for which observations were made among the 273 firms listed with the Department, Negro workers were increased on payrolls by 18,650 men, of whom 4,157 and 13,893 were skilled and unskilled workers, respectively. The total per cent of increase was 42.6 and the per cent of increase of skilled and unskilled workers, respectively, was 38.51 and 44.
Based upon a descending scale, the total increases in percentage of Negro workers taken on in the various states were: Connecticut, 88.74; New Jersey, 74.82; Indiana, 70.17; Ohio, 69.98; California, 66.67; Pennsylvania, 64.91; Michigan, 63.77; Wisconsin, 58.24; Maryland, 55.48; Illinois, 45.14; Kansas, 40.42; New York, 37.19; Massachusetts, 25.00; Kentucky, 24.00; Missouri, 18.30; Oklahoma, 14.20; Delaware, 2.63. West Virginia showed a slight decrease in the per cent of Negro workers.
Skilled Workers Increasing
High marks were reached in the increase of Negro skilled workers, who advanced by 186.86 per cent in Maryland; 90.48 per cent in Connecticut; 70.73 per cent in Michigan; 63.97 per cent in Kansas; 68.04 per cent in Ohio; 60.00 per cent in California; 43.68 per cent in Pennsylvania; 39.94 per cent in Illinois; 33.33 per cent in Wisconsin; 30.00 per cent in New York; 18.18 per cent in Indiana; and 13.93 per cent in Kentucky. New Jersey and Oklahoma showed respective increases of 12.96 per cent and 3.85 per cent in the number of Negro workers taken on in the skilled occupations during the year, while West Virginia showed a loss of 1.82 per cent.
Negro unskilled workers are slightly ahead of their skilled associates in

Famous Carrie Johnson- Pollyanna Case Settled
The famous Carrie Johnson-Pollyanna case is finally settled according to an announcement made this week by the president of the Pollyanna Club, Mrs. Helen Gordon Curtis.
The Club's statement is as follows: "The Pollyanna Club takes this opportunity to inform the public that the case of Carrie Johnson versus the Pollyanna Club has been settled to the entire satisfaction of the club. As the instance of the attorneys for Miss Johnson, after a writ of error had been allowed by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in favor of the club, the case was compromised. the facts of the compromise are as follows:
"After the expenses of the litigation were paid, a trust fund, for which the club was contending, was established with the remainder for Miss Johnson at the Munsey Trust Company, payable when she becomes of age."
"We wish to thank our many friends for their unswerving support in our efforts of the past and shall anticipate with pleasure their cooperation in the future.
"The Pollyanna Club has just ended another highly successful year of charitable endeavor. As the result of a rummage sale held in October, the
a remarkable increase during the year. Returns indicated an increase of this type of Negro labor of 102.86 per cent in Indiana; 88.58 per cent in Connecticut; 85.15 per cent in New Jersey; 77.52 per cent in Pennsylvania; 71.21 per cent in Ohio; 68.00 per cent in California; 62.48 per cent in Michigan, 69.48 per cent in Wisconsin; 46.69 per cent in Illinois; 39.79 per cent in New York; 37.13 per cent in Kansas; 27.67 per cent in Maryland; 27.15 per cent in Kentucky; 16.17 per cent in Missouri; and 15.69 per cent in Oklahoma.
Migration
Accurate figures describing the migratory phases of Negro labor coming direct from the South during the year ending April 30, 1923, were nearly as difficult to acquire as they were during the intensive migration during the war-time shortage. Nevertheless, the Department was able to observe 19,747 Negro employees among the whole number of 60,421 on hand April 30, 1923, and to make estimations as to the number included therein whom employers could positively identify as having moved northward into employment during the past year. Of the 19,747 thus observed it was found that 4,702 or 23.81 per cent had come direct from the South during the year. From another viewpoint, taking the whole number as a base and discounting .06 per cent thereof as being impracticable of distribution, the Department estimates that the distribution of migrants among the states listed can be approximately indicated by the following percentaegs: Ohio, 37.26 per cent; Pennsylvanian, 21.63; Michigan, 10.53; New Jersey, 6.4; New York, 4.76; Missouri, 4.74; Illinois, 4.49; Kentucky, 4.36; Connecticut, 3.04; Maryland, 1.30; Wisconsin, .85; California, .32; Oklahoma, .26; Non distributable, .06. Total 100 per cent.
As a final step in the migratory feature of Negro labor, the Department endeavored to ascertain what proportion of payroll employees, as of April 30, 1923, could be regarded as migrants, and the following results are deemed as reliable approximations: New Jersey, 62.19 per cent; Oklahoma, 54.54; Michigan, 52.27; Ohio, 36.01; California, 30.00; Pennsylvania, 29.82; Connecticut, 20.82; Missouri, 19.08; Wisconsin, 19.14; Kentucky, 14.91; Maryland, 12.03; New York, 11.88; Illinois, 5.17.
Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts and West Virginia were omitted from the last conclusion on account of lack of authentic reports from employers.
This last conclusion points strongly to two conditions which evidently have a tremendous influence upon migrants, namely, (1) wages and types of employment available in northern states, and (2) geographical location of the points considered by oncoming migrants. No doubt, direct touch of trunk lines from southern points and the amount of railroad fare required have their effect upon these workers who desire to move northward, and.
club turned over to the Summer Outings Committee $200 to purchase playground equipment for Camp Pleasant. Through Mrs. Charles I. West, it has donated to the budget of the Associated Charities $125, the proceeds of a card party given at the Lincoln Colonnade in May.

By HELEN GORDON CURTIS,
President."
The Carrie Johnson-Pollyanna case came up in the District Supreme Court in the summer of 1921. Carrie Johnson, through her attorney, B. L. Gaskins, sued the Pollyanna Social Club for funds they had collected through various benefits for Carrie Johnson. Miss Johnson was at that time being ciated Charities $125, the proceeds of a card party given at the Lincoln Colonnade in May.
In order to assist in pushing the case to a successful conclusion, the Pollyanna Club raised over $1,000. After Miss Johnson was acquitted, her attorney asked the club for an accounting and the full amount of the money on hand. The club preferred to hold the money in trust for Miss Johnson. Both sides fought bitterly for what they thought were their rights. The recent compromise possibly adds the last chapter to this case.

NEW TAXI CAB CO.
Another well equipped taxi cab company with offices at 1937 13th Street, N. W., started business this week. The proprietors of this newly organized firm are J. B. Anderson and W. Grayer Williams, two men well known in the business circles of Washington, with a vast experience in catering to the ever increasing demands of pleasure and comforts of their constituency.
The (A. & W.) Taxi Co., is the official name of the firm, and their policy is to be "excelsior in service." They intend to give the public a perfect meter-service system—a dozer Dodge limousines equipped with an accurate meter registration. Meters for the satisfaction to the riding public, the protection of the chauffeur and systematic expediency to the operators have been given much consideration. They are prepared to furnish Cadillacs and other high-grade touring cars.
VA. BUS LINES MUST NOT
DISCRIMINATE.
Fairfax, Va.—The Attorney General of the State has in the past month settled a worrisome question that has threatened the peace of the community. The Attorney General ruled that all suburban bus lines are public carriers, and as such must carry passengers with no regard as to race and color.
on the other hand, distinctive types of work with attractive wages form another inducement.
It may be of worth to state that the reports indicated that migrants frequently come to border states and after working a while use a portion of their earnings to remove to points of vantage further north. This particular feature is, perhaps, largely productive of causes of turnover, which was not strongly noticeable in the states farthest north.
James Chestnut Promoted By The Defender
According to recent announcement made J. Le Count Chestnut, Washington representative of the Chicago Defender, has been promoted to the position of Eastern Representative for his paper, taking charge of the territory from Maine to the Tide-water district of Virginia, going as far west as Syracuse, N. Y., and Harrisburg, Pa. He will make his headquarters in New Yory City.
The New Eastern representative of the Defender is a graduate of Amherst College in the class of 1907. For a year he was an associate professor of English at Claflin University, Orangeburg, S. C. He has also taught in the elementary and high schools at Washington. Just prior to going with the Defender he was a teacher of English in the Business Practice Department of Dunbar High School.
Washingtonians generally remember Mr. Chestnut for the signal service he rendered as president of the MuSo- Lit Club for three years. It was under his regime as president that the organization was changed from an itinerant one to a $15,000 corporation, and beautiful and luxurious quarters were brought and fitted up at 1327 R Street Northwest. He is also remembered for his success in building up the Defender here.
Mr. Chestnut, or "Jim," as all the boys call him, has ever maintained and courted the friendship and good will of all newspaper men. He has always been a welcome and frequent visitor at the offices of all Race newspapers here. His genial face will be greatly missed and his future visits will always be appreciated.
In discussing his work with The Tribune Reporter he said: "I labor under no misgivings as to the magnitude of the task before me. It means hard work and I am ready for it. In fact I welcome the task. My experience has been that the only romance of business is the eromanance of hard, consistent work. I believe far more in the gospel of perspiirathan than I do in that of inspiration."
Mr. Chestnut accompanied by his father, Rev. James Chestnut, left by auto for New York on Wednesday morning. He is to enjoy a two weeks' vacation given him by his firm at his home on Staten Island, where his wife and two young daughters reside.
