Hines Fails to Appoint Negro Doctor in Stanley's Place N.M.A. VOTES TO REFUSE TO SERVE UNDER WHITES Garvey Out on $25,000 Bail First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 15 Hines F N.M.A. VOTES TO REFUSE TO SERVE UNDER WHITES Director Hines Says Whole Personnel Must Be Detailed First The transferring of Col. R. H. Stanley of Greenville, Ala., from the head position at the U.S. Veterans hospital at Tuskegee to the federal hospital at Fort Bayard, N. M., was announced at the Veterans Bureau this week. Col. Stanley has been in charge of the Tuskegee Hospital since February. His tenure in office has been very stormy. With the announcement that Col. Stanley had been transferred also came the announcement that Dr. Griffin the present executive officer at the hospital had been appointed in Stanley's place. Director Hines made it plain that no Negro would be appointed as executive officer until a complete Negro medical personnel has been DETAILED to the institution. Just why the entire personnel of colored physicians must be detailed before a commanding officer can be appointed is not known. The complete white personnel was not appointed until after the commanding officer was detailed, so why must this procedure change when Negroes are involved? The apparent lack of sincerity on the part of the Veterans Bureau in dealing with the colored physician was taken up at the recent meeting of the National Medical Association which met in St. Louis, Mo., last week. The association in a set of resolutions which it passed unanimously, went on record as insisting upon assurance of working under Negro officials before any of the physicians certified, should accept appointments. The resolutions follow: August 28, 1923 August 28, 1929 Whereas the Veterans' Hospital No. 91 at Tuskegee, Alabama, was built exclusively for the accommodation of disabled Negro Veterans of the World War. Be it resolved that the National Medical Association in Convention assembled, approve the stand taken by the executive board of said association in its appeal to the President of the United States and General Frank T. Hines (chief of the Veterans Bureau) to man the Veterans Hospital with a complete Colored personnel. Be it further resolved that it is so in keeping with the fitness of things that a hospital built by the government for the exclusive care of disabled Negro soldiers, should be manned by a complete Negro personnel, that this association stands unalterably opposed to any other program. Be it further resolved that this association, in taking this stand is not actuated by any malice or race prejudice but from the sense of justice of our cause. Be it further resolved that the National Medical Association highly appreciates the support given it by the press and individuals of both races North and South. Be it further resolved that it is the sense of this Association that it is to the best interest of all concerned that a complete Colored personnel be installed immediately, and that our men are to accept appointments in the hospital only with the assurance that they are to work under Negro Officials. Committee: Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore Dr. J. A. Lester. If the Negro doctors support these resolutions it is hard to see how Director Hines is going to detail to Tuskegee a complete Negro personnel before he details the three staff men. Apparently General Hines, because of his army training, thinks he is dealing with soldiers who would have to obey the orders simply because he issued them. If the Government desires to make a fizzle of this hospital matter, then it is certainly pursuing the right course. (Continued on page 3) The Washington Tribune Golden Keyof Freedom Given Body by the Mayor of Atlantic City According to a number of Washington, (D. C.) members of the Alumni Association of Howard University who have just returned from Atlantic City, New Jersey, what might well be called one of the most successful sessions ever held by the Alumni Association of the University took place at the special meeting which was held in that city on August 29th and 30th, 1923, in response to a call issued by President W. Justin Carter, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. President Carter had widely broadcast the call over the country through the press and by individual notices to members of the Association. A large number of Alumni responded. At the opening session on August 29, committees were sent out to consider and report on the items covered in the agenda previously decided upon by the President and the Executive Committee of the Association for the special session. On the evening of August 29, an open session was held in the Asbury M. E. Church, Former President I. H. Nutter delivered the address of welcome to the city. The Mayor of Atlantic City officially welcomed the Association and presented a beautiful gold key, the symbol of freedom of the city, to President Carter. Short addresses were made by several alumni, all expressing the sincere desire of the Alumni Association to build up a unified Howard spirit to aid in the making of the Greater Howard. In the morning session of August 30, reports were made by the various committees. All resolutions presented were conspicuous by the unanimity of their desire to work in a cooperative spirit for the general good of their mother University. The committee on athletic conditions reported a resolution for joint management of intercollegiate athletics by the Administration of the University, the Alumni and the student body; and for the filing with the Alumni Association annually a financial report on intercollegiate athletics. The information that the delicate athletic situation which existed at the close of the Spring Quarter had been satisfactorily adjusted, caused the association not to take any action on that matter. The following resolution was presented to the General body by a subcommittee and after full discussion was referred to a subcommittee of the executive commitee for further consideration: The Alumni Association views with alarm the report that comes to us through official channels of the Alumni Association of Howard University, and feels that the future of our greatest university is imperiled if said conditions are not quickly changed, that the Deans of Departments may conduct their work with freedom and without interference and with proper consultations with the President of the University. Similar action was taken in regard the item alleging unfair dismissals, and demotions, and that an atmosphere of oppression and threats existed at the University. A resolution was adopted placing the Alumni Association on record with the Board of Trustees of the University as insisting unequivocally on Academic Freedom in the teaching force and in the student body. It was decided to refer the matter in respect to the ballots cast by the Alumni for Trustees last Spring to the Executive Committee for investigation and report. An item was added to the agenda Dr. J.R.A. Crossland's Attempt to Trade Bureau Job for one in Tuskegee Fails When Wife's Attorney Exposes Facts Appoint New ey O Dr. J.R. A. C Bureau Job When Wif The law of retribution seems at last to be working against Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, Technical Assistant, in Charge of Colored Trainees under the U. S. Veterans' Bureau. The unearthing of special correspondences written by Dr. Crossland and the disclosing of the fact that his wife's attorney is alleged to have written Director Hines, laying before him the matrimonial troubles of the doctor, have about at last shown the doctor in his true light. Because of his alleged duplicity both in his governmental as well as matrimonial duties, Dr. Crossland was severely criticised by members of the National Medical Association, at their meeting in St. Louis last week. Had it not been for the fact that the local Missouri Medical Association has not as yet suspended the doctor, he would have been disbarred from membership in the N. M. A. However, so strong was the sentiment against him, that the Missouri members stated that they would immediately proceed to suspend him from the state association. It seems as if Dr. Crossland has not only gotten in bad with the Medical Association, but also with Director Hines as well. It is alleged that Dr Crossland in one of his audiences with Director Hines, sought to get the Director to appoint him to a nice bert at the U. S. Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, and to close up his (Crossland's) office in the Veterans' Bureau. According to the story, Director Hines agreed to this plan and went ahead with plans to transfer the per- CAPITOL FUR SHOP AP- PRECIATES TRADE The fact that The Capitol Fur Shop, 1208 G Street, northwest, states in its advertisement in this paper that it appreciates the trade of colored people of Washington, and recognizes the fact that their trade has been a factor in its progress, makes it an outstanding establishment on G Street in prejudiced Washington. The Capitol Fur Shop makes this statement: "A special invitation to the colored trade. We wish to thank the colored people of Washington for their kind favors in the past and to stress that we emphatically know that they have played an important part in our growth, to the largest fur shop in the city—the colored patron receives every courtesy and consideration at The Capitol Fur Shop." Mr. Silverman, the proprietor, has been a furrier for more than twelve years and his experience is valuable in the selection, preparing and repairing of furs. "Value" is the motto of The Capitol Fur Shop. The fall and winter styles are running more and more to furs, those contemplating purchasing furs would do well to consult Mr. Silverman for styles and qualities. concerning the religious and social life at Howard. A committee sent out on this matter reported a resolution asking that a definite interest be taken by the University in the religious and social life of the students. A wonderful spirit of harmony existed throughout the session. The fair and impartial way that President Carter presided over the session won the commendation of all Alumni present. sonnel in Dr. Crossland's office to the hospital and to other departments. Before the time came for Dr. Crossland to go to Tuskegee, the alleged letter from his ex-wife's attorney was sent to Director Hines. Upon receiving this alleged letter, Director Hines called Dr. Crossland on the carpet and informed him that he could not appoint him to the Tuskegee hospital, because to do so would be inviting a national scandal. However, Director Hines refused to stop the transferring of Crossland's office force. The entire force was transferred except one stenographer. This young lady was left to be the doctor's clerk. From spacious quarters on the seventh floor of the Bureau building, here, he was moved to the eleventh floor, into very small and crowded quarters. Many charges have been filed against Dr. Crossland. It is claimed he has abused the prerogatives of his office and position. Among these charges is one of the improper use of telephones at the various schools where veterans are located. While in Savannah, Ga., some time ago, visiting the State Industrial College there, he used the school's phone to call the "Baby Doll" who figured so prominently in his divorce case, a Miss Jones who lives in Chicago, Ill. This long distance call amounted to $25.25. Dr. Crossland left the school without paying for this call and consequently it came out on the next bill from the telephone company. Knowing that no SUMMER SEASON AT HIGH LAND BEACH CLOSES The social season at Highland Beach, Md., on the Chesapeake Bay, came to a brilliant close last Monday, Labor Day. The closing of the summer season began Saturday afternoon with a lawn fete on the lawn of Mrs. Chas. Douglass. That night a party was given at the cottage of Dr. and Mrs. Harry Minton of Philadelphia; dancing was the feature of the evening. Sunday was given over to visiting in the morning and bathing in the bay during the afternoon. That night a marshmellow roast was given on the beach by the younger set. Monday morning a breakfast dance was given at the cottage of Mrs. Joseph Douglass. After this affair the colony retreated to the wonderful beach for one last plunge in the salt water. That afternoon a 500 party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Henderson; while Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Flagg gave a social that evening for the grown ups; the younger set had a dance at the cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Norman D. Murray. Highland Beach is the popular retreat for Washingtonians who desire their summer vacations near salt water. It is located five miles from Annapolis and has one of the finest beaches on the bay. The community is governed entirely by Negroes, having five commissioners who are: Haley C. Douglass, Mayor Edw. B. Henderson; Dr. Milton A. Francis, O. T. Taylor and Mrs. Eula Gray. Many local people have built cottages there. During the next year the community expects an addition of several more cottages. In addition to the individual cottages, the Y. W. C. A. has for two years had its girls camp there. The boy scouts this year established their boys' camp there. Highland Beach is a very picturesque little community nestled among the pines far from the noise of the big cities. It is composed of over 15 cottages; one at the school had any authority to make such a call, the item was investigated and the above facts disclosed. The auditor of the school refused to certify this item and the principal, Prof. C. G. Wiley, was forced to pay it out of his pocket. Prof. Wiley is now trying to collect this amount from Dr. Crossland and has written him some twenty letters, but the Doctor, it is learned, has refused to answer any of them. Another instance happened in San Antonio, Texas. While in this city, which is a noted resort for the cure of tuberculosis, Dr. Crossland called together several of the leading physicians and told them that the government had authorized him to select a site there for the building of a hospital. He asked these physicians to cooperate with him in finding a site. Being unable to remain in San Antonio long, he left the matter up to the local men. He was royally entertained by these men, who were acting in all seriousness. Crossland left them with instructions to find the site and communicate with him at his Washington office. The men took their perfectly valuable time in finding several sites and mailed their information to Washington. After waiting a reasonable length of time, other correspondence was sent, but no reply came; and finally, the men realized that they had been bounced. Dr. Crossland's matrimonial sea has not been at all smooth. His married MASONIC FIELD DAY BIG SUCLESS A large gathering attended the Masonic Field Day and Pageant held at the American League Baseball Park last Saturday. The events were the most artistic ever seen in Washington, and from the applause and expressions of praise this Field Day and Pageant can be considered the finest ever held here. Much praise is due the Commanderies of Knights Templars under the command of Emniment Commander Charles W. Hale for their skillful drilling and intricate movements executed with precision and ease. The climax of the day came with the pageant "Opening King Tout's Tomb" given by the Order of the Eastern Star. Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Mary F. Thompson and her assistant, Mrs. Genevieve Lawson, directresses of art, for the costumes and arrangement of this colossal play. Mrs. Essie Love Thomas who trained the dancers for the pageant was the center of admiration by hundreds of pleased patrons, who showered her with praise for her wonderful interpretation of the "Mummy Dance." The solo dances by the Misses Elba Forrest, Louise Alexander, Cornelia Eignor and Gwendolyn Smith brought applause after applause. "King Tut" and "Queen Tut" were the admiration of thousands as they held "A Day in Egypt" in all the pomp of an Egyptian potentate. "King Tut" being acted by the Grand Worthy Patron F. E. Hearns, and "Queen Tut" by the Grand Worthy Matron Mrs. Marian Stewart Lewis. The baseball game between the Odd-Fellows and the Elks turned out to be a walkover for the Odd-Fellows who defeated their opponents, thereby winning the $25 prize offered to the winners, who were led by William H. Davis. Much credit is due Mrs. Sallje M. Stockton and her efficient corps of 1923 Office: 920 U St., N. W. Stanley's 5,000 NATIVES REVOLT AGAINST U. S. RULE IN HAITI Closing of Important Ports Working Great Hardship on People According to the New York correspondent of the "Courier-Haitien" the natives of Haiti are now in revolt against the form of Government as now set up there and administered by the American Government, through the instrument of the U. S. Marines. According to this correspondent, the American occupation headed by High Commissioner Brig. Gen. J. H. Russell, decided recently to close the ports of Miragoane, Aquin, Mole, St. Nicolas and Fort Librette. In explaining to the bewildered and half starved natives his reason for doing this drastic thing, General Russell stated he was carrying out orders from Washington. The closing of these ports practically brings the natives living in and around them, face to face with slow starvation, because the trade of these ports furnish these people with their only means of livelihood. Early in the month of August, Jolibois Fils and Edouard Pouget, two fearless newspapers publishers, were thrown in jail because of an allege infraction of the American occupation laws. These men were given only bread and water and were denied bail and were forced to live in dungeons utterly unfit for human habitation. Commissioner Russell was last week called to Washington for a conference with President Coolidge at which time he went over the turbulent situation on the island with the nation's head. However, since this conference, President Coolidge has not made any statement which might in any way indicate what his policy will be. According to well informed circles, the bone of contention in the whole matter is that a big New York City bank, during the late world war, forced on the Haitian people a bung loan, the benefit of which the people have not received. It is now feared that if the people are given a voice in their Government, they will repudiate this loan. In fact, already some of the fearless Haitian leaders have hinted at this procedure. Therefore, in order to protect this American bank's interest, the Government is apparently forced to resort to barbarous methods. MISS BURROUGHS TOURING THE WEST Miss Namie H. Burroughs, President of the National Training School for Girls located at Lincoln Heights, D.C. is now traveling in the far western states in the interest of her school Reports from Miss Burroughs indicate that she is having much success in her campaign. Miss Burroughs has with her a quintette of girls from her school, whose singing has been a big feature of all her meetings. In a recent address in Lincoln, Neb., at one of the big Nebraska Chataqua meetings, Miss Burroughs was praised very highly by the Lincoln Journal, the leading paper there. At present Miss Burroughs is now touring the pacific coast states. She is expected to return home soon as her school will open within a few weeks. helpers for this creditable production. Past Master Bobbie Williams as a "Masonic Tramp" and A Frank Rhodes as "Barney Google" and "Spark Plug" caused roars of laughter. --- Washington's Best Advertising Medium. s Place Bail Judge Mack Cables Release of Black Star Line Head from Palestine New York, N. Y., Sept. 1 - Upon the recommendation of Colonel William Hayward, United States attorney for the southern district of New York, Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has been granted bail. The amount was fixed at $25,000. Marcus Garvey was convicted on June 18, 1923, for using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the mythical Black Star steamship line, a subsidiary organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He sued out and was allowed a writ of error. The trial judge, however, denied him bail pending the appeal. At different times two judges of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals denied his petition for release on bail. He has been incarcerated in the Tombs prison since his conviction. At first the Government was opposed to the release of Marcus Garvey on bail. Maxwell S. Mattuck, the assistant United States attorney, who prosecuted the case, represented to the court that in view of the numerous written threats made upon the lives of himself and Judge Maek, who presided over the trial, it would be dangerous for Garvey to be at large, and that if released he would forfeit his bond and never serve his sentence. Upon being denied bail in New York, Garvey's followers carried their fight to the President of the United States. Two petitions were presented to the late President Harding, and after his death, similar petitions were presented President Coolidge. It is thought that the views of Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, had much to do with changing the Government's position, who took the view that the ends of justice would be more properly served by admitting Garvey to bail and made this representation to Attorney General Daugherty, who concurred in this view, with the result that, with the consent of Colonel Hayward, Marcus Garvey has been given bail. The order for the release of Garvey on bail was cabled from Palestine by Judge Julian W. Mack. IMPERIAL COMMERCIAL CO. CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY The Imperial Commercial Company, 1214 U Street, northwest, celebrated its second anniversary Saturday, September 1, by placing a sale on most of their merchandise. Having purchased the building in which they intended to do business, the young men promoting the company, opened on a small capital, September 1, 1921. By conservative management the Imperial Commercial Company has withstood four robberies and kept the business going. Today the stock is in good condition, the store has made a name for itself and built up a dependable list of patrons. "The outlook for our third year is very promising" said Manager Harris, when asked of the business outlook. "We have passed over our worst period, that, of getting established. During our two years, in fact, in our first year we were robbed four times, which threw us back considerably. However, we have passed that crisis and from all indications we will make our third year our best one. Our volume of business increased the last year over our first year and we want to double that this year." The building in which the store is located, is a two-story one. The Imperial Commercial Company occupies the first floor and the Madame Blanche Millnery occupies the second floor. The company is composed of F. T. Harris, president; R. B. Ford, vice-president; Votle V. Dixon, treasurer; Abram B. Harris, secretary; Wm. F. Borden, assistant treasurer and Allen C. Gillmore, assistant secretary. LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Cape May, N. J.

Editor's Note: The importance of giving a child a good education is one that should be given serious consideration. As our schools will soon be opening, The Tribune is this week beginning a series of articles, which we hope will aid parents in getting their children properly started in schools. No. 2 My last little talk tried to remind you that in High School, as everywhere else in life, success depends largely upon the ability to select wisely, and that the choice of the easiest and quickest in school usually leads to lacking ability to master hard things in after life. We are in the habit of talking a great deal about a "practical" education and the word in this connection so often comnotes that by which we can make money or provide the material things of life. If the sons and daughters of the family have learned enough music to enable them to enjoy their evenings at home with their piano or violin or in joyous singing, it is practical training in the estimation of those parents who strive to keep their girls and boys from the streets or from vulgar dance nails. Education has a practical side when it administers to the soul and to the spirit just as much, to say the least, as it has when it is providing for the needs of the body. If one has studied the sciences, which is a more "practical" use of one's knowledge, to earn enough money to be able to spin over miles in an automobile for pleasure, or to be able to enjoy the birds and trees on a stroll through the parks and woods, or, perhaps, to feast the eyes on the flowers of one's own garden? Now our Dunbar High School offers a program of such a kind that, whether you care more for the material or for the ideal, you ought to be able to have your needs satisfied. It is something like this: Sciences—Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Physics, Physiography Physiology, and Hygiene, Domestic Science. Mathematics—High school algebra, college algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry. History and Government—United States; Ancient—Eastern nations Greece, Rome; European—especially of Western Europe. English—Grammar, composition, extemporaneous speaking, dramatic art literature. Foreign Languages—Greek, Latin Spainish, French, German. Music-Reading, chorus singing, harmony, orchestral practice. Activities-Military drill, physical training, football, baseball, basketball, journalism, debating. Now there are at least two kinds of students, i. c. students looking toward at least two different goals who enter our High Schools: 1. Those whose school days will end with graduation from High School. 2. Those who are preparing for higher institutions of learning. The former are perhaps at liberty to Increased July 9,1923, because of popular demand for larger policies. Insurance in force $ 41,384.00.

J., Aug. 20—Quite a stir was created in society here when it was learned that the Sheriff of Monmouth County had served divorce papers on Orville Davis, at Sea Girt, in the suit brought for divorce against him by Lucille Lassiter Davis. Mrs. Davis is one of the beautiful nieces of Dr. Norman Lassiter, the wealthy dentist of Newport News, Va. This suit is filed under the Blackwell Act, passed by the last New Jersey legislature, which provides for absolute divorce on the grounds of cruelty. In her petition Mrs. Davis alleges that her husband on numerous occasions beat and attempted to kill her, and made a practice of going about with young girls, naming several girls in the very younger set as being unduly friendly with her husband; that she left him in May, 1922, but in answer to his entreaties returned from Newport News and tried to live with him, but he resumed beating her and going with the younger women and on New Years' night beat her so that she was forced to leave the house to save her life. Attorney Robert Queen represents Mrs. Davis. from St. Joseph's Church. She is survived by her husband, Herbert L. Lucas, and five small children.

PAGE THREE SPORT CHATTER Potomacs Play Colored Track Stars Prime For Olympic Team Dehart Hubbard, Earl Johnson, Albert Washington and Ned Gourdin upheld the banner of the Race at the National A. A. U. senior championships at Chicago last Saturday. This quartet gathered in three firsts, a second and a third. With victories in the running broad jump, and in the hop, step and jump events, Dehart Hubbard was an outstanding figure. The University of Michigan wonder failed to set up new records but defeated the world's broad-jump record holder, Ned Gourdin. The latter's effort to stage a comeback after a year's lay off was rather disappointing. He was forced to be content with third place behind Legendre, the former Georgetown track star. Earl Johnson, for the third consecutive year, won the five-mile run. Johnson has done very little running this year and the rest has apparently done him a world of good. The unheralded and unsung sprinter, Albert Washington, of the University of Chicago, qualified as a formidable candidate for the Olympic team by a sterling performance behind the speedy Murchison in the century dash. Authorities Upheld in Suspending Edgar Brown According to eye witnesses the officials of the American Tennis Association were fully justified in imposing a year's suspension on Edgar Brown following an unsportsmanlike demonstration by the national champion at the Chicago matches. It is said that Brown assailed the referee with language altogether unbecoming an individual of national repute, and cut-up rather disgracefully in the presence of a large gallery when the arbitrator refused to heed Brown's demand that the doubles match in which Brown and Thompson were trailing McGriff and Downing be postponed on account of darkness. Brown's youthful doubles partner, Ted Thompson, was the chief sufferer as a result of the former's actions. Had the national champ held his temper his partner would have received the moral support a youth needs and the combination would quite likely have pulled through to victory. The year's lay-off will make the champion realize that he is but a small figure compared to the game of tennis. While Brown's playing ability on court ranks him above all Race tennis players, yet, unless he can respect certain codes of sportsmanship the game can very easily do without him.

Trailing the Potomacs POTOMACS REGISTER THEIR SIXTH STRAIGHT Philadelphia, Sept. 2—The Potomacs made it six straight by defeating the strong Ardmore club at Ardmore, Pa., today by the lopsided score of 14 to 6. Manager Taylor's boys gathered 17 hits, among them being two home runs by Eggleston, and triples by Owens, Jefferson and Goodrich. Clarke pitched a steady game, holding the Ardmore club safe throughout. Washington and Jefferson starred in the field. R H E Potomacs ----030 700 301—14 17 2 Ardmore ----000 500 001—6 13 2 Clarke and Eggleton; Slevine, Rogers and Haigh. Judging from the late performances of the Potomacs there is no disputing the fact that Taylor has a better club now than at any time since the first series of the season. When the club met the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants in early May every player was in perfect trim. Gradually however, as certain ones became acquainted here they fell into old habits and have seldom shown their real worth since. When the Potomacs played the Norfolk Stars here on August 26, Taylor presented a gang of hustling, wide awake youngsters. The club on paper does not shape-up as strong as in June but on the field its strength was easily discernible. Plans are already under way to improve the team for next year. Three men from Texas who were to have joined the club in July have been instructed not to report until March, the training season period. Taylor will make a trip through the Southland in late February to look over other players tipped off to him. Many holes in the present line-up must be patched. Another first class catcher will be signed to assist Eggleton. The pitching staff must be rebuilf. Clarke has shown enough to stay and Hawkins gives promise: "Stringbean" Williams is a real asset because of his long experience. He also has many good games left in the old wing. While he won't admit it, Taylor is getting old and must develop an understudy. If Brown recovers his former speed he will likely be shifted back to outfield. Otherwise he will be carried as a general utility player in which capactly only Mackey of Hilldale and Cleo Smith of the Black Sox overshadow him. iveness and stickwork to be sure of the shortfield berth. Goodrich's work at the hot corner makes him a certainty for next season. The young Texan has been the sensation of the East. It is quite unlikely that Jefferson and Washington will be supplanted in the outfield. Both can cover acres of territory. The former has a mighty throwing arm and is a fair hitter, while Taylor believes that Washington will be a real star in another year provided of course he regains full strength in his ankle which was broken in June. Taylor has confirmed the rumor that the American League park may not be the Potomacs' home lot next year. Efforts are being made to interest Lawrence Phillips owner of the New Union Park, in a proposition that will make the latter place the locals' camping grounds. DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE ADJUSTS SCHEDULE Officers of the Departmental League held a special meeting Thursday night to map out a plan for the adjustment of the league's schedule and the elimination of the many postponed games. The first and second sections of the schedule were featured with races between the Treasury and Veterans' Bureau teams. All other clubs were closely bunched but out of the running for the pennant. Approximately twenty games are yet unplayed. Many of which if played will have no bearing on the race. It has been suggested that a series between the leading contenders be played to settle the issue. Just what action the officials took is unknown. --- DECLARES HAITI HOLDS RAREST HISTORIC RELIC Representative Dowell (Iowa), who has been dubbed "Corabelt" Dowell thinks the most interesting relic to be found anywhere on the western hemisphere is the old iron anchor which was used on the Santa Maria, the flagship of Christopher Columbus when he discovered America. This old relic is now located at the entrance hull of the Haitian gendarmerie in Port Au Prince, the capital of Haiti. The island of Haiti was discovered by Columbus on December 6, 1492, and the good ship Santa Maria was wrecked on that island. Timber from the wreck was used in building the first settlement in the Western world, says Representative Dowell.

The fast traveling Brooklyn outfit which has pushed their way from down near the cellar is now crowding the leaders and holding third place by a comfortable margin. The contest developed into a pitchers' battle with thrills aplenty to appease the most rabid fan, Wagner, Downs and Woods drew rounds of applause for their spectacular work on the field, while "Judy" Johnson and Warfield also horned in for their share of the honors with some flashy fielding stunts and Dick Redding's mace furnished the big noise of the day, accounting for three of the Giants' tallies. Lce weakened in the fifth inning of a twilight game with Chester after apparently the contest well in hand, holding a three run lead and with darkness fast approaching was yanked after yielding the second run of the Chesterites, "Red" Ryan was sent in with the tying run on second and although retired the first two men to face him, Eberts' triple and Brigman's single put over the winning marker for Chester.

The order directed Tex Rickard and the New York Boxing Commission to show cause on Friday why a peremptory writ of mandamus should not be issued preventing the /Dempsey-Firpo bout from taking place. Mullins, in his plea, stated Wills, the logical opponent of Dempsey, had posted a $2,500 forfeit demanded by the boxing commission for a bout with the champion but had failed to secure satisfaction from that body. If the Dempsey-Firpo bout takes place, Mullins contended, Wills, under the rules of the New York Boxing Commission, must be declared the champion because of the failure of Dempsey to fight him. Mullins has appeared before the boxing commission regularly at the weekly meeting of the board demanding that some action be taken on the forfeit and challenge posted by Wills for a title bout with Dempsey. Mullins claimed Simon Flaherty, a Brooklyn promoter, was willing to stage the fight and guarantee Dempsey a huge purse.

She cane to Whshington with Dr. Crossland, but remained here only a short time. She and Dr. Crossland were separated. lust September, She was granted alimony of $40 a week, Which the doctor has refused to pas. Before coming to Washington, Dr, Crosland had had lots of trouble ac cording to well informed eireles. While living out in Missouri some years ago, a man shot him in the throat because of some alleged family trouble. ‘This is said to be the reason Dr, Crossland has an impediment in his speech, While in Liberia, a minister to that country, he became involved in some trouble with the wife of one of the natives. One day this native dectded to rescue his wife who was closeted in the American Legation with Dr, Cross- land, When he attempted to do this, Dr. Crossland opened fire and shot and seriously wounded the man, Feel- ing in Liberia ran so high against Dr. Crossland that the President of Liberia had to call out the army to protect: his: life until he could secure passage to ‘America, His explanation of this in- cident to the people over here was that the man was trying to pull down the American flag at the Legation, ‘The duplicity of Dr. Crossland is revealed in a number of letters and memorandums written to Director Hines and others concerning the Tuske- ‘gee hospital situation. ‘The present plan of a white super- intendent, a white executive officer! and a white clinical medical director is very largely his: for he wrote Direetor Hines that “it is going to take ‘a combination of forees such as a good Jevel headed white man as Command- ing officer and some good sensible colored man who will co-operate on a fifty-fifty basis to handle this situation at the hospital.” In a letter to Brigadier General Frank ‘T. Hines, under date of August} 4, at which time he was under the im- pression that he would be given a place at the hospital, Dr. Crossland wrote] that “Whatever white man is there as; Commanding Officer, I shall be glad for him to run the hospital as a batance wheel until we can put the institution upon a firm basis, and when the time comes I can stand up and show. the country at large the necessity of re- taining him. I will gladly assume that responsibility with my people and the! public in general.” Under date of August 17, he wrote Director Hines as follows: “It was somewhat surprising t me] to see the statement in the ‘Star’ of | yesterday that colored physicians had! carried the Tuskegee hospital situa-| tion to President Calvin Coolidge with-! out first getting a definite decision from you as to the outcome of the matter. “Dr, Moton visited my office and said that he was in favor of a mix- cd personnel because he thought, I prestine, it was in full accord with your plus, He went to the home of| Dr. M. ©.

After Colonel Johnson and his friends had’ written the letter, thinking lthat ther were doing it for the very best interests of the race, Dr, Moton doubled crossed them by going to some high officials of Washington, through his sceretary, denouncing the men who had written the requested letter, I have been forced recently to entertain the same opinion of the rank and file of members of my race, who censured Dr. Moton for this unpleasant situation and his double-crossing is the cause of his being driven from Tuske- gee, together with Dr. Keneny, and has not as yet been permitted to return, 1 do not take stock with many of my people who are pulling his skeleton out of the closet, but Ido want to say that in addition to Dr, Moton’s statement to me while I was a guest in his house during the dedication of the Tuskegee hospital—that the hospital would oper- ate successfully under my management because of my years of experience as a physician, my knowledge of condi- tions in the South and my contact with both races, being ‘Technical Assistant, Charge of Colored Trainees under the U.S. Veterans’ Burean, ‘Theres only one way to handle this matter and that is to prepare as rapidly as possible for a colored per. sonnel under the plans upon which you and T agreed, I see that some of the | physicians being called to the hospital are not voters in any state and there are other men on the outside preparing. for a great fight against it.

Missioner Brown had a wonderful opportunity to medicinal handicaps under which the Negro labor states of America, before the world. After this address, we are forced to conclude that, as almost all of our politicians holding little if any service, so Phil Brown, represident department of Labor of the United States surrounds it to serve his race. Address demonstrates gross ignorance and lack of the occasion. It was full of big, high sounding words, which is the first evidence of ignorance in blunderbus way, "Commissioner Brown" ten,000 of the race leaving "the firesides of its fire if its youth and the soil of its nativity to follow. But fails to tell the cause of their leaving. For wages nor peonage. Missioner Brown" said the Negroes left their better wages, enlarged opportunities for educational advantages for their children and for manhood. But he failed to specify how we "educational advantages" in the highly Chic there the white child receives an expenditure of $2.92 is spent for the education of the Negro Missioner Brown" failed to state that the recognition of manhood rights" was based on the total of 10,000,000 Negroes, though they are loyal. Should "Commissioner Brown" discuss, intelligent migrant" without informing his audience of migration. There is evidently a reason, who have one section of the country and travel to another section. And of telling this Association of what the Negro complained or was accomplishing and how Missioner Brown" brings up, in a foreign country no necessity for it, the weaknesses of the Negroer the paragraph below being presented by a race in a foreign country. Stelling of Negroes "failing to report after parlour" Missioner Brown said: Her case which emphasizes a contagious racial offence of this labor to attend funerals. As what he had ten colored men on his roll who lodge, and when a member died the whole job to attend the funeral. He asked one of them was true. 'Well came the answer, the deceased member of my lodge, and if I don't turn out we need one dollar.' The worker was willing to lend should receive for working a day rather than to one dollar. Is not to have occurred to the white employer—that these workers were not attending their brother for mercenary reasons; but were willing in order to pay due respect to a dead co-worker themselves from the stigma of being "good." Of labor unions, Mr. Brown said: "There is noror excluding Negroes from labor unions"; as to their acceptance appear to be entirely Missioner Brown is aware of the fact accepting Negroes into most of the unions are of race prejudice, which is almost national. Missioner Brown, like "technical assistant" presents" the race far more than they "represents" could be far better off had neither of them come along will the Negro tolerate such "representative." Phil H. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Ky., labeled as "Commissioner of Conciliation, U. S. department of labor," delivered an address on "The Negro Migrant" before the International Association of Employment Services, at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, Canada, Thursday, September 6. Commissioner Brown had a wonderful opportunity to place the prejudicial handicaps under which the Negro labors in the United States of America, before the world. After reading a copy of his address, we are forced to conclude that he failed miserably. As almost all of our politicians holding office render the race little if any service, so Phil Brown, representing the great Department of Labor of the United States surrendered the opportunity to serve his race. His address demonstrates gross ignorance and lack of preparation for the occasion. It was full of big, high sounding, yet meaningless, words, which is the first evidence of ignorance. In his blunderbus way, "Commissioner Brown" tells of more than 600,000 of the race leaving "the firesides of its fathers, the friends of its youth and the soil of its nativity to follow the North Star." But fails to the cause of their leaving. Not a word about poor wages nor peonage. "Commissioner Brown" said the Negroes left the South for "promised better wages, enlarged opportunities for living, adequate educational advantages for their children and fuller recognition of manhood." But he failed to specify how woeful is the lack of "educational advantages" in the highly Christianized South, where the white child receives an expenditure of $28.44, while only $2.92 is spent for the education of the Negro child. "Commissioner Brown" failed to state that the seeking of "fuller recognition of manhood rights" was based on the disfranchisement of 10,000,000 Negroes, though they are loyal American citizens. How could "Commissioner Brown" discuss, intelligently, "The Negro Migrant" without informing his audience of the cause of the migration. There is evidently a reason, when 600,000 people leave one section of the country and travel a thousand miles to another section. Instead of telling this Association of what the Negro migrant had accomplished or was accomplishing and how distributed, "Commissioner Brown" brings up, in a foreign country where there is no necessity for it, the weaknesses of the Negro. Consider the paragraph below being presented by a Negro, to an audience in a foreign country. After telling of Negroes "failing to report after pay days and holidays," Commissioner Brown said: "Another case which emphasizes a contagious racial characteristic is a penchant of this labor to attend funerals. An employer told me that he had ten colored men on his roll who belonged to the same lodge, and when a member died the whole bloc of ten left the job to attend the funeral. He asked one of the workmen why this was true. 'Well' came the answer, 'the deceased brother was a member of my lodge, and if I don't turn out with him, I will be fined one dollar.' The worker was willing to lose five dollars he would receive for working a day rather than to be assessed a fine of one dollar. It seems not to have occurred to the white employer—nor to Mr. Brown—that these workers were not attending the funeral of their dead brother for mercenary reasons; but were willing to lose a few dimes in order to pay due respect to a dead comrade and also to save themselves from the stigma of being "slackers" in brotherhood. Speaking of labor unions, Mr. Brown said: "There is no organic reason for excluding Negroes from labor unions"; and: "The objections to their acceptance appear to be entirely of a local nature." Commissioner Brown is aware of the fact that objections to accepting Negroes into most of the unions are not local, but born of race prejudice, which is almost national. "Commissioner Brown, like "technical assistant" Crossland, "mis-represents" the race far more than they "represent" it. The race would be far better off had neither of them come to Washington. How long will the Negro tolerate such "representation"?

Pray, what could a church do without music, good music, soul-compelling music! We may speculate on the power of operatic, jazz and what not in music, but brother and sister, if you please, a good old hymn sometimes stirs the soul as nothing else can do, and a majestic oratorio lifts the weary spirit of man far beyond the materialistic sphere of life when rightly rendered. toward sham," thus spoke the Rev. Leon Wormley in the preface of his wonderful sermon delivered last Sunday in a local Baptist church. His attitude was striking, his remarks were terse and pointed, and his argument was convincing and unqualified in its sting, so much so that, the writer thought well to present and enlarge on his discourse in a minor sense. "Many of us practice deception, fraud; are selfish and not genuine in friendship," says he. "We carry an air of superiority, pretending to be better and know more than somebody else. People who are pretending can't stand. You can't pretend to know music unless you know notes, if you somebody will simply find you out A sermon? Yes, it deserves its place in the service but music too, has its place in the service—a place that cannot be filled by any other agency so complacent and adeptly. Sacred music, not operatic mind you, prepares the auditor's mind for spiritual intercourse and turms his thoughts heavenward; awakens his spiritual eyes to delights of a brighter sun—the Son of Man! It soothes the burdened heart pierced by sinful arrows from Satan's skillful bow, the week long; it calms the troubled mind seared in distress and sorrow-ladened; it is the 'kerchief that wipes the bitter, burning tears from the eyes of the unseen mortal and though casted down, lifts the quivering eyelids ever upwards towards the Christ, Savior of Fallen Humanity. Thus, there is found great joy in the singing of the choir. Joy for the poor and rich, great and small, black and white. And music hath power to save ye, save on the very brink of hell More souls I dare say, have beer brought to see the errors of their way thru the power of song than any other one medium, not even excepting preaching, for without music preaching fall eth on deaf ears.

"Many of us practice deception, fraud; are selfish and not genuine in friendship," says he. "We carry an air of superiority, pretending to be better and know more than somebody else. People who are pretending can't stand. You can't pretend to know music unless you know notes, if you do somebody will surely find you out. You can't be a pretender and succeed, because you are bound to fail. When you don't know a thing the world will find you out ultimately. Try to be genuine; do something tangible, be what you are for if you are a wolf in sheep's clothing you'll be found out"; and he closed the good Book. That sermon is applicable to all classes and professions we believe but we well know it applies very nicely to the music profession, choirs and so forth. How many pretend to be great when they're nowhere near it; some think themselves great pianists, vocalists, violinists, teachers, directors, performers and so on when if they could only read the world's mind about themselves they would hide their heads in shame. Too many appraise self and don't give the world's bored public a chance to say a word. Too many pretend they know music and don't. Too many pretend superiority but they're not! Too many pretend to know more about music than any other body but they don't! Too many pretend they can sing but they don't and can't. Too many pretend friendship but are proven villains! Yes, Rev. Worndey, not only among the pews but in nearly every class and place we find the 'pretender' even in the music world.

LuValle) Rentiesville, Oklahoma is the third colored town of the State in population. Boley first, Taft second and Rentiesville third. It is seventeen miles south of Muskogee on the M. K. and T. Railroad, which is known as "The Katy" throut that section. This is the main line of the road which runs from St. Louis to San Antonio, Texas, 1,034 miles long. Rentiesville was promoted by the Reeves Realty Company of Muskogee, and like most of the colored towns of the State, was settled by people from Arkansas and Texas. The town was named for a colored man who owns a large tract of land near there, his name was William Rentie and was known as a "freedman." Possibly you do not know that the Indians owned colored slaves, as did the white people before the Civil War. Well they did. However, the Indians were better to their slaves than were the white owners. When Uncle Sam moved the Indians from the various States to the Indian Territory, he promised them so many acres of land for each member of the family. The Indians that well of their slaves and arranged the treaty with Uncle Sam so that each of the former slaves—or "freedmen," as they are called in Oklahoma, would share in the allotting of the land. The Creek Indians were more liberal than the other tribes and permitted the "freedmen" to "share acre for acre with them." Therefore every "freedman" and his children, up until July 1907, received 160 acres of land from the Government. That is why so many colored people in Oklahoma own land, even oil land. You will find most all of the colored towns' in the former Creek Nation. We might say that the Seminoles gave their freedmen 120 acres, the Choctawss allotted 80 acres to their freedmen while they took 320, Chickasaws received 320 and gave their freedmen only 40 acres; while the Cherokees, the aristocrats of the Territory, allowed their freedmen $1,000 worth of land, and the number of acres depended upon the appraised value of the land, which averaged from 50 to 80 acres. Senator Robert L. Owens is of the Cherokee Tribe, as was the register of the treasury, Teheehe in the Wilson Administration. Rentiesville has a population of about 850, which makes it about the same size as Mound Bayou, Mississippi, the Negro Metropolis of the South. Rentiesville is four miles north of Checotah a mixed town where all of the cotton from the Rentiesville section is ginned. The post master and justice of peace are Colored. CONTEST will be given. For the next best, three theatre tickets will be given. One theater ticket will be given for all other good pictures submitted. Pictures must be in this office by September 16, noon. EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS M (Reprinted from above-named book, by permis (Reprinted from above-named book, by permission of author) (Continued from last week) "ETHIOPIA" AND "TOUISSAINT L'OUVERTURE" BY ANNE WHITNEY The late Anne Whitney, who died in January, 1915, modeled at least two notable figures which come within the scope of our subject. At the time of her death (at the age of 98) Miss Whitney was perhaps the oldest American sculptor of national reputation. Fortunately the two figures to recumbent position.

The descriptions are comprised in a sketch of Miss Whitney in a book entitled "Our Famous Women," published about 1883. In this book thirty American women are sketched by twenty different authors, themselves women. Miss Whitney's career up to that time was sketched by Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. At the time of Miss Whitney's death, the Boston "Globe" said of her: shackles for glory of a her, and shades her light. Doub are all man half-awaker "The base scription, "stretch out a masterly most triumph no mod copied no a original man attributed to "Her first work of consequence was a statue of 'Lady Godiva.' Next came the 'Lotus Eater,' and then a work which was the fruit of her thought and feeling on slavery. It was called 'Ethiopia'—a reclining figure of a young Negro woman, half nude, raising herself on one elbow and shading her eyes—awakening. She destroyed this statue for some reason, although she long after said, 'It was one of the best things I ever did.' She next made a statue of Toussaint L'Overture, whose sufferings for his race strongly appealed to her." Miss Whitney's "Godiva" was exhibited in Boston in the early part of the Civil War. Following a description of that statue, Mrs. Livermore says: "A few weeks later, Miss Whitney added to her growing fame by placing at its side her "Africa,""—a colossal statue of another type, the expression of a grander and nobler thought. Her deep interest in the slaves of the South, her ability to forecast the inevitable sequence of the heroic events which hastened, one on the heels of the other—for it was during the civil war,—uplifted her to the summit of prophecy, and she saw in the near future the deliverance of a race from imbrutting bondage, and, later, the illumination of a dark continent from which it sprang. This grand and mighty conception she sought to embody in form. I the attempt savored of audacity, u lertaken at that early stage of Miss Whitney's art career, she was justified, not only by the blood of the reformer that thrilled in her veins, but by her remarkable success. "The symbolization is that of a colossal Ethiopian woman, in a half recumbent position. The immense proportions of the statue expresses the teeming luxuriance of the tropics in which she had her birth. She has been sleeping for ages in the glowing sands of the desert, out of which she is lifting herself. The measured tramp of armies, marching for her deliverance, the thunder of artillery, the shock and roar of battle, have awakened her. Half rising, with sleep yet heavy on her eyelids, she supports herself on the left hand and arm, while she listens with fear and wonder to the sound of broken chains and recumbent position. The immense proportions of the statue expresses the teeming luxuriance of the tropics in which she had her birth. She has been sleeping for ages in the glowing sands of the desert, out of which she is lifting herself.

Half rising, with sleep yet heavy on her eyelids, she supports herself on the left hand and arm, while she listens with fear and wonder to the sound of broken chains and one of the best things, but the very best thing, she ever did, although afterwards she did some excellent and notable things. I will not say "excellent for a woman"; for that sort of praise, be it directed toward a particular sex, or class, or race, is irritating to me. In my opinion, nothing more noble has been embodied in clay by an American sculptor. And I am very thankful that—through the kindness of Mrs. Olive Tilford Dargan of Dorechester, Massachusetts, who sent me the photograph from which the picture here was made—I am able shackles falling around her. The glory of a new day shines full upon her, and with her right hand she shades her eyes from the painful light. Doubt, fear, wonder, hope, pain are all marvelously blended in the half-awakened face. "The base of the statue bore the inscription, 'And Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.' It was a masterly design, wrought out in a most triumphant manner. It imitated no model, followed no tradition, copied no antique, but was a fresh original master-piece of genius, contributed to the art and history of the time. "Its reception by the public was most gratifying. Not only in Boston, but in New York, where it was exhibited with the 'Godiva,' it attracted clared not merely high among female artists, but high in art itself, that knows no sex." "The African race was then the subject of absorbing interest. All the air was astir with nobler interpretations of liberty that had been dreamed of before, and on all lips thrilled the inquiry, 'What is to be the future of this newly-freed people?' "The throngs that visited the gigantic 'Africa' stood dumb before her. So legible and well-expressed was the sentiment of the artist, that even the uninstructed in art throbbed in sympathy with it. It received much intelligent and some extravagant praise, as did the 'Godiva,' and also much criticism, which its author welcomed. For no one can criticise her work more severely than herself, her ideal being very high, and her character unblemished by weak egotism. "It is to be regretted that Miss Whitney had no opportunity to put this statue into enduring bronze. Not only the nobleness of the conception, but the fact that it was inspired by one of the greatest incidents in American history, should confer on it the immortality of bronze or marble. To future generations it would take high rank as a historic statue, keeping green the memory of the time when, on the top wave of a nation's righteous wrath with slavery, four millions of slaves were lifted to the level of freemen." It will be noted that Mrs. Livermore says that the statue was not 10 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. put into bronze; neither was it made into marble. When this statue was modeled by Miss Whitney, she was very young in years and in her profession. Study and experience gave her in later years far greater dexterity and artistic ability; but no subsequent work was characterized by more elevated thought; and some persons, including myself, will think that, despite certain lacks, this work was not merely one of the best things, but the very best thing, she ever did, although afterwards she did some excellent and notable things. I will not say "excellent for a woman"; for that sort of praise, he it directed toward a particular sex, or class, or race, is irritating to me. In my opinion, nothing more noble has been embodied in clay by an American sculptor. And I am very thankful that—through the kindness of Mrs. Olive Tilford Dargan of Dorechester, Massachusetts, who sent me the photograph from which the picture here was made—I am able ETHIOPIA, statue, by Ann to help to keep alive the memory of this gracious conception, which I should like to call "Ethiopia Awakening"; for it was a fit and representative expression of the faith, the hope, and the "high resolve" of the noblest hearts and minds of the time. The statue lacked "finish," to be sure, and we notice also the same reticence or timidity in the modeling of the features that marked the most of the females of color that have been discussed. But nevertheless, it was, without doubt, a work of great merit and of extraordinary significance; albeit, the interest and appreciation of the American public were not sufficiently well-grounded to outlast for long the "stress and struggle" which brought it into being to help to keep alive the memory of this gracious conception, which I should like to call "Ethiopia Awakening"; for it was a fit and representative expression of the faith, the hope, and the "high resolve" of the noblest hearts and minds of the time.

Intensely serious and sad, he leans forward, while his right hand indicates the inscription he has traced on the floor, Dien se charge! Forsaken by all, justice denied him, he is yet brave and strong; for a just God is in the heavens. With Him he rests his case. "The lines of the figure are admirable; and, while the face and form are full of force and character, there is great simplicity in Miss Whitney's treatment of the subject. The technique of the sketch is so completely subordinated to the grand idea, that one forgets to observe the methods by which it has been wrought, and looks beyond to the hero whom it commemorates, with a heart full of sympathy As Mrs Livermore has stated, the statue was "inspired by one of the grandest events in American history," yet, as she also notes, the conception was also prophetic; indeed, it was more prophetic than historic. In this, it was indicative of Miss Whitney's genius—her faith and her affection: a faith and an affection which comprehended not only the oppressed Blacks of America but those of despoiled Africa, as well. Very likely, some persons will regard as extravagant, Mrs. Livermore's reference to this work as a "masterpiece of genius." But the meanings of these words are not matters of stated definition, wholly. The meanings are determined by, or modified by, the personal viewpoint and the individual temperament. I have already repeated what Gonse says are the distinctive features of a masterpiece. As for genius—the something more than talent or cleverness—Emerson asks. "What is genius but finer love? Whatever be our answers; however our souls may respond to Emerson's thought; we must realize that, except under the stimulus of abounding faith and of wide-embracing affection, genius is unable to express itself, or at the most, its efforts arouse only weak, un-moving responses. Talent may strike the spark into the tinder which Faith has provided, but only the breath of Affection can vivify it into a flame. Mrs. Livermore states that shortly after the modeling of this statue, Miss Whitney went to Europe to study; remaining there five years. After her return, she modeled several notable works which are described by Mrs. Livermore. She then goes on, as follows: "Miss Whitney's strong feeling against slavery once more expressed itself in a work of art. The subject of her next sketch was one of the most remarkable men of the last generation,—the great St. Domingo chief, statesman, and governor, Toussaint L'Ouverture,—an unmixed negro, born a slave, with no drop of white blood in his veins. He was the hero of Harriet Martineau's thrilling book, "The Hour and the Man." Wendell Phillips made him the subject of a superb lecture, delivered hundreds of times during the anti-slavery struggle of our country, in the leading towns and cities of the North. . . . "It was this noble Haytien, whom the world would proudly remember immortal marble but for his unpardonable crime of wearing a black skin over his white soul, that Anne Whitney chose for her next sketch. Could she have selected a worthier subject? The event of his life which she embodied in her representation, is his imprisonment, by Napoleon. . . He sits alone in his stony dungeon, nude, save for a rude covering about the waist. . . He is scorned, betrayed, ignored, doomed—he must die. Above the lust of gold, pure in private life, generous in his use of power, always obedient to the law, he is yet to die, ignominiously, starved, like a rat in a hole. He comprehends it all. "But not a line of his face betrays weakness, or fear—not a shade of bitterness or hate darkens it. Instead of this, it is noble in its expression of endurance and heroism. Intensely serious and sad, he leans forward, while his right hand indicates the inscription he has traced on the floor, *Dien se charge!* Forsaken by all, justice denied him, he is yet brave and strong; for a just God is in the heavens. With Him he rests his case. "The lines of the figure are admirable; and, while the face and form are full of force and character, there is great simplicity in Miss Whitney's treatment of the subject. The technique of the sketch is so completely subordinated to the grand idea, that one forgets to observe the methods by which it has been wrought, and looks beyond to the hero whom it commo- rates, with a heart full of sympathy for his hard fate, and eyes dimmed with tears, for his unrecognized greatness." In addition to Mrs. Livermore's statement—which is at once an interpretation and an appreciation—I feel impelled to quote a few lines from Wordsworth's touching sonnet, addressed to Toussaint— "Though fallen thyself, never to rise again, Live and take comfort. Thou hast left behind Powers that will work for thee; earth, air and skies; There's not a breathing of the common wind That will forget thee: thou hast great allies; Thy friends are exultations, agonies, And love, and man's unconquerable mind." *AUTHOR'S NOTE—This is the only place I have seen it called "Africa."

His academic education was received in the best schools of Boston, Mass., where he has made his home since early boyhood. His musical education was begun with George H. Woods of Boston; later with Arthur Hubbard of Boston, and for the past few years he has been an artist-pupil of Theodore Schroeder, the noted Boston vocal instructor and coach. Mr. Richardson was early engaged as baritone soloist at Bethany Baptist Church, Dorechester. Mass., leaving this position to become the soloist at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Cambridge, Mass., where he has remained for over 15 years. In recent years he has been active in concert work, and has been heard in successful recitals in the principal cities of the United States. Don't say "nigger."

FEDERAL INSURANCE CO. SHOWS REMARKABLE PROGRESS FEDERAL INSURANCE CO. SHOWS REMARKABLE PROGRESS The Federal Life Insurance Company, 1937 11th Street, northwest, is making a creditable showing for its four months of operation. Licensed to operate May first 1923, the Federal Life entered its fourth month Saturday, with $41,384 of insurance in force. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] W. STERLING JOHNSON The Federal has six agents in the field and three office employees, making a total of nine. Concerning the contracts the Federal is offering, Manager C. T. Taylor said: "We are offering three contracts, in the industrial line, the health and accident, whole life and an endowment policy. At present the maximum policy is for five hundred dollars. As soon as we reach our authorized capital of $100,000 we will then issue larger policies up to ten thousand dollars." There are two features of the Federal's contract that are outstanding. One is that of loan value for the health and accident contract, and the daily computing of illness after the payment for the first wee's illness. Most health and accident policies provide payment by the week. That is you get a week's benefits or nothing. The Federal contract provides a daily computing of illness, and payment for the same. W. Sterling Johnson, formerly state organizer of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and a stockholder in that company, has resigned his position with that company, and joined the force of The Federal Insurance Company, as director of agencies. Having spent more than twenty-five years in the insurance business, Mr. Johnson makes a valuable asset to Tie Federal.
