South Feigns Interest in Negro Rights Cotton Planters Proffer Legal Aid and Railroad Fare to People Ordered Out of Johnstown if They Will Return to Dixie First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 18 South Cotton Planter Railroad Fare Johnstown if Offer Discloses Method of South in Hoodwinking Race Into Peonage J S. Wannamaker, of South Carolina president of the American Cotton Association, wired Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, protesting against the Mayor of Johnstown ordering all the colored people away, who had been living there less than seven years. He offers to pay the fines and fares for all who will return South. His telegram follows: I will appreciate it if you will advise me whether full sentence passed against the colored people will be enforced. Have these colored people legal counsel? If they have not legal counsel, then as a matter of appreciation of the faithful service rendered by them of the South both during and since slavery, especially during the period of the war between the States and since the war between the States when they were not influenced by carpet-baggers and scalawags of other races, and as a matter of simple justice, kindly advise them that we will arrange to secure their legal counsel to enable them to secure the justice to which they are entitled both under moral and legal law if they so desire. This will carry no obligation on the part of the colored people to come South if they do not desire to do so. Fines imposed upon a community of law-abiding people for acts of individuals will be paid and transportation furnished to such law-abiding colored people to any section of the South they may prefer. Can you beat that for inconsistency? As every Negro from the South knows, the telegram was sent only for the publicity it would get, and to impress the unthinking that everything is peaches and cream in the South for the Negro. Oh how sympathetic Mr. Wannamaker and the South are becoming for the Negro! Read this paragraph and weep: "Have these colored people legal counsel? If they have not legal counsel, then as a matter of appreciation of the faithful service rendered by them of the South both during and since slavery, as a matter of simple justice, . . . we will arrange to secure them legal counsel to enable them to secure the justice to which they are entitled both under the moral and legal law, if they so desire." Greater hypocrisy never came to light than this. Mr. Wannamaker is very anxious for the colored people to have ALL the JUSTICE they are entitled to in Pennsylvania; then why does not he and his Association see to it that colored people in the SOUTH receive the same measure of justice that he is demanding in Pennsylvania? Had Mr. Wannamaker been as zealous for "simple justice" for the colored people of the South, there would not be any need for his telegram; and the South would not be losing $2,000,000 a week because of Negro migration. The South has been a long time in coming to acknowledge her "appreciation of the faithful service by the colored people of the South during and since slavery." Since Mr. Wannamaker has made a public announcement of that fact, may his Association proceed now to prove their "appreciation" by demanding "simple justice" for the Negroes yet in the South? Unless he and his Association will do this, the effect of his telegram fails. There is a feature of Mr. Wannamaker's offer that should be given close attention by the Department of Justice. That is his offer to pay the fares and fines of all who wish to return South. That savors of Peonage. That is the method all over the South, of getting Negroes into the various lumber, ranch and turpentine peonage camps. The white man pays the Negro's fine and takes him out to his farm, lumber camp or wherever he wants laborers and will keep him there working indefinitely paying out me The Washington Tribune SOUTHERN AID TO REMODEL ITS BUILDING HERE The Southern Aid Society of Va., in keeping with its policy of always responding to the needs of our group, is making extensive alterations on the 2nd and 3rd floors of its modern building at 7th and T Streets, Northwest. Finding that the colored people of Washington are in need of more modern living apartments, the Society has decided to convert, at a heavy outlay, the third floor of its new building into apartments, and to concentrate all business and professional activities on the 2nd floor. The well known architect, Lewis W. Giles, prepared plans for the improvements and will supervise the work. At the completion of the improvements the Southern Aid Building, will in deed and fact, be a bee-hive of industry, pleasure and comfort at a very pivotal location in the great Northwest section. REV. JERNAGIN BACK FROM CONVENTION The Rev. Dr. William H. Jernagin, president of the General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia, returned to the city last week from California, where he attended the annual session of the National Baptist Convention which convened at Los Angeles. Dr. Jernagin was re-elected vicepresident of the convention, and is also Washington's member of the executive committee of the national convention. He states that in its efforts to coordinate the work of the convention and in order to develop the maximum efficiency attainable in the operation of its several boards, few changes were made. Perhaps the greatest change in carrying out the recommendations of the executive board was with reference to the evangelical work of the convention. In the new scheme the office of superintendent of evangelism was abolished and the administration of this work put under the direction of an evangelical board composed of fifteen leading pastors of the national convention. This new board, Dr. S. E. J. Watson, Chicago, Chairman, operates under the Home Mission Board and has immediate supervision over all evangelical activities of the churches affiliating with the National Baptist Convention. Some members of this board are Dr. J. C. Austin, Pennsylvania, Westbrook, Ind., Jackson, Connecticut and Jernagin, Washington, D.C. The General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia was recognized as the official local state organization, and its efforts to establish a denominational school here were highly endorsed by the national body, which pledged its moral support, at least, for the success of the local institution. The national convention will meet next year at Nashville, Tenn. their fines, or debt. There are thousands of Negroes in peonage slavery now, and Mr. Wannamaker can demonstrate his "simple justice" to them and see that they get their "legal counsel," to secure their freedom. Altho the Department of Justice has a large number of reports on peonage, it would do well to watch every case where Mr. Wannamaker's Association pays fares for the return of any Negro to the South. It will probably mean another case of peonage. MAYOR WHO ORDERED NEGROES OUT FAILS FOR RE-ELECTION Johnstown, Pa.—Mayor Cauffiel who gained prominence by ordering all Negroes not seven year residents to leave this city, was defeated for re-election here last week. The mayor's program of deporting innocent people has practically been discarded. The backfire of public indignation at his program and the intervening of Governor Pinchot, forced the mayor to modify his stand. Statements Show Local Banks in Good Condition Statements Show Local Banks in Good Condition BANK STATEMENTS On the 14th of September, the Comptroller of Currency, called for a statement from all the chartered banks of the District that are under government supervision. There are three colored banks here two of which are under Government supervision. The totals of their statements present an interesting study. The Industrial Savings Bank is the older and presents a statement showing resources of $516,511.66. The Union Laborers Bank, next in age, has resources which of about $129,000. This bank is operated under a declaration of trust and is not subject to the call of the Comptroller, therefore there has been no published statement from it. However, Mr. Howard, president, stated that they would publish a statement in January, or at the next call of the Comptroller. The "baby bank," in age only, is the Prudential Bank on Florida Avenue, which was opened about six weeks before the call was issued. In six weeks time it shows resources of $108,354.55. The combined resources of the three banks are $753,866.21. The Industrial has a paid up capital of $41,645.00 and a surplus and undivided profits of $19,216.20. The Prudential has 29,537.72; making a total capital for the two banks of $90,-398.92. No figures available on the Union Laborers Bank, save the resources. The deposits of the Industrial shows $462,197.10 and for the six weeks of the Prudential Bank there are $53,521.51, making a total amount of deposits of the two banks of $515,718.61. The banking house and fixtures of the Prudential is listed at $59,728.83 and The Industrial quotes its banking house and fixtures at $34,376.31 making a total of $94,-105.14 in property for these two banks. The total capital, surplus and property gives these two banks resources of $184,484.06. DELEGATIONS CALL ON PRESIDENT President Calvin Coolidge has received two colored delegations in as many weeks. Last week forty-three members of the Ancient Independent Order of Moses, a fraternal society which met here in National convention, called on the Nation's head. This week a delegation composed of members of the National Sociological Congress which met here recently called on Mr. Coolidge. The delegation comprised Prof. Sylvester L. McLaurin, Prof. Jesse Lawson, John W. Thompson, Prof. Kelly Miller, the Rev. James P. E. Live, John A. Lankford, J. A. Davis and William J. Thompson. The right man can make a good job out of any job.

Neil Shaw, intellectual giant and fearless fighter in the lists of Ethiopia's champions, passed away last Wednesday at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital after a short illness. His death came as a shock to the community for he was apparently in good health up to a few days before. Dr. Shaw has been active in the Negro liberation struggle for a number of years. He was an indefatigable, unselfish and self-sacrificing worker in the cause. He gave his life for the race. He had been busy on the work of the National Equal Rights League up to the very day of his death. It was through the genius and initiative of Dr. Shaw, as President of National Equal Rights-League, that the organization of the United Front Conference was accomplished and the now famous Concordat, by which the six leading Negro Civil Rights organization in the United States pledged themselves to harmonious co-operation in the common fight against injustice of any kind or degree, was signed as a treaty of peace and a pledge of self-sacrificing devotion to the highest racial ideals by the representatives of the six organizations gathered in convention in New York City, March 23 and 24 of this year. This same convention ejected Dr. Shaw president of the United Front Conference, and sent out the call for an All-Race Assembly or Sanhedrin to take place before April 1 of 1924, and appointed Prof. Kelly Miller, chairman of the committee of arrangements with clearly defined powers and instructions. Dr. Shaw was a recognized medical authority and a leading pulpit orator, as well as an indefatigable worker and self-sacrificing leader of his race. He has always interested himself in all matters pertaining to the betterment of the race, and has lead the Natimoal Equal Rights League, with the aid and support of his stalwart colleague, William Monroe Trotter, to many brilliant victories in the civil rights field. He was pastor of the 12th Baptist Church for many years and had built up one of the largest congregations in Boston. Rev. Shaw left to mourn for him a devoted wife, Jessie Johnson Shaw, daughter of the late Rev. Harvey Johnson of Baltimore, a daughter, Iris, 3 sons, Albert, Harvey, Arthur, an aunt and several cousins. Funeral services were held on Sunday, September 23, at 1 p.m. at the 12th Baptist Church, with a huge crowd and many notables in attendance. Prior to the funeral services the body had been on view at the church for several hours, and it was necessary to call in detail of police to handle the huge throngs which turned out. ASKS FOR JUSTICE IN POST OFFICE Neval H. Thomas, fearless champion of human rights, addressed a letter this week to Postmaster William Mooney, calling his attention to the fact that in employing one hundred extra clerks and helpers in the effort of the post office to ascertain the cost of handling and transporting the several classes of mail, that no colored were employed at all. In calling this act of discrimination to Mr. Mooney's attention, Mr. Thomas stated: I have the most reliable information that there are many efficient colored men on the civil service list who would be happy to be called to service and who would give the postoffice the highest class of work." So far, not any of these men have been called. Law School has Made Many Improvements. Medical Department Already Overcrowded Howard University, the leader among educational institutions in the United States specializing in the training of colored young men and women, begins its fifty-eighth annual session on Monday, October 1st. The University's registration machinery was set in motion on Friday, September 2th and continued through Saturday, September 29th. Last year, Howard University had an enrollment of 2054 students in her several department and sent out at the June Commencement in her 1923 Class 311 graduates in the Liberal Arts, Science, Religion, Law, Medicine Pharmacy, Music, Engineering, and Architecture. A much larger enrollment is expected for the coming school term. On Monday, October 1st, classes begin in the college on "University Hill" The classes in the School of Law, and in the School of Medicine, including the College of Dentistry and the College of Pharmacy, will also begin on October 1st. The Howard University School of Medicine, after having been compelled to turn away over 165 students who because of the lack of facilities could not be accepted, opens this year with all classes crowded. No greater argument for the appropriation by the government of the $500,000 recently urged by Secretary of Interior Work for an additional to the Medical and Dental School of Howard University is needed than to witness the overcrowding now being experienced in the classes and laboratories of these schools. During the summer elaborate repairs have been carried on by the University. These repairs in the main have included the painting of the exterior of a number of the University buildings, the improvement of the University grounds, the painting of hallways and class rooms, the main expenditure being a sum of approximately $4000 to install separate steam and electric light lines. Many of the improvements have called for underground work and cannot be seen, but they promise much in the way of additional comfort for the students resident in the various dormitories as well as those who attend the evening classes. HOWARD LAW SCHOOL TO REOPEN Formal opening on October 1, of the fiftieth annual session of the Howard University School of Law is announced by Judge Fenton W. Booth, dean of that school. This year the students instead of being scattered through temporary quarters on the university campus will return to their own remodeled home at 420 5th Street, Northwest, where they will find added comforts and increased facilities. The effectiveness of the school's work will also be enhanced by important faculty and curriculum changes. After a year's study by a faculty committee composed of Professors Dion S. Birney, James A. Cobb and James P. Schick, a new curriculum providing for a minimum of seventy-two semester hours for the three-year course, has been adopted. This curriculum is announced in a new separate catalog of the law school and becomes effective on October 1. Professor Charles V. Imlay, member of the District of Columbia bar and Commissioner of Uniform State Laws, of the American Bar Association, takes the chair of real property vacated by Professor Shreve who resigned.

The object of this crusade is to get colored people of the District to patronize business enterprises owned and operated by their race. The association held a very interesting meeting last Tuesday night at which Dr. M. O. Dumas, president elect of the National Medical Association, spoke on the "Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee" and Morrissey S. Koonce, spoke on "building up Commercial Enterprises." The Association plans to have other business and professional men address it before the crusade is ended.

Rights ALABAMA TNESS IN MINE AGE INVESTIGATION Birmingham, Ala.—More evidence of the inhuman treatment accorded state prisoners who are leased to private corporations to work out their sentences, was brought to light here last week when the news of a mutiny at Banner Mines was made public. Although the mutiny occurred September 10th, the public knew nothing of it until A. L. Boyd, president of the board of convict supervisors, was summoned before a Jefferson county grand jury. Details of the testimony given were withheld from the public. Circuit court solicitor, James Davis, is determined to clear up the whole mater and has intimated that he may call Governor W. W. Brandon to testify before the grand jury now investigating the matter. The chief executive has expressed himself as against the grand jury investigation notwithstanding a number of flogging cases has been laid before the jury. In order to balk the investigation, Governor Brandon has obtained a restraining order preventing the solicitor from calling four convicts at the Banner Mines as witnesses. Banner Mines is famous throughout the state of Alabama as a peonage mine. State prisoners have been sent there for a number of years. The name "Banner Mines" has figured very prominently in blues and other music played by the guitar artist. DR. DOWLING TO OPEN EYE HOSPITAL Dr. Jas, C. Dowling, well known eye specialist here, will open a private eye hospital at the corner of 12th and U Streets, next Monday, Oct. 1st. The hospital will be modern in every respect and will have a capacity of thirty beds. The opening of this institution will give Washington its second private hospital, the other being the one conducted by Dr. Carson on Fourth street. Dr. Dowling, as an eye specialist, has built up a very large practice, and the opening of his hospital will greatly enlarge the scope of his work. The opening of this hospital will not only benefit Dr. Dowling but will make it possible for young internes to get practical experience in this work as most of the white hospitals catering to such special practice are closed to them. Dr. Dowling is a member of the local and national medical associations. He is on the staff of Freedmen's hospital and is also an instructor in the Howard University School of Medicine.

Since th opening day of the training on Sep tember 15, two drills have been it order daily. The first scrimmage o} the season was held last Monday af. ternoon. As yet no attempt has been made tc Pick a first-string team although cer- tain players have attracted the coach- er’s eyes and the selection of the var- sity string appears just a matter of time. Plenty of weight will be forced in the line. While there is no certainty hhow they will line-up; Melton, Miller, Doak, Keller, Anderson and Priestley, tipping the scales at from 175 to 220, are the men that the final line selec- tions will likely come from. Melton won his letter at guard in 1921. Doaks, Keller and Priestley received plenty of experience last fall in minor games. Miller was also out a while last year. Anderson the strong man of the track team is making his first attempt at football at Howard. Craw. ford, the plucky guard of the past two years, is undecided if he can spar: the time from his classes. Crawfori broke a bone in his hand in the Hamp ton game last fall which failed to hea until early spring and is laboratory work at the dental school received ; serious set-back. Captain Doneghey and Ray Conte are clmost certain of positions in th backfield. “Cabbage” Melton who be came so speedy late in the seasor last year is uncertain if he can spar: enough time for his classes to agair play football. It is expected though that Melton will soon be in line. Al. though Dodson has been out but few days Coach Watson expressed himself as being pleased with the way he handles himself and predicts thal he will at least be a strong first-string contender. Coach Watson will not pay a lot of attention to the quarter. ‘back position now. Four backs capa- ble of doing what the coach maps out is his goal. Therefore the man se- lected to call signals may be a half- back in reality. The most promising of the remainder of the backfield material are Blackman, Bacchus, War- ren, Webster and Whitted. “Bulldog” Williams was called to hfs home in Norfolk last week because of the illness of his mother but he is expected back in camp any day to re- present Howard on the gridiron for his last season. The other end posi- tion looks to be sewed-up with E, A. Long, again on the job. ‘A slight injury to Doneghey’s leg is the only damage reported so far. ‘The Boarding Department has been hitting on all “fours” in the dining hall since the opening day and all training table problems are working to the fullest satisfaction of the men. FLORIDA PROSPECTS BRIGHT Three men will compose the Flor- ida A. & M. coaching staff. Mr. Ef- ferson of Atlanta an athletic man of ability will see that the ends are ready to go. Mr. Coleman, who coached the Florida A. & M. team which tied Tuskegee in Jacksonville in 1921, and a few days latter held Talladega to.a lone field goal, return after being away for a year, to see thet the line functions. “Dean” Bragg will look after the becka President Howard has made a few trips thru the State and is satisfied that material will not be lacking. ‘Only one veteran will be lost from last year.

HAMPTON GRIDDERS BEGIN TRAINING | Hampton Institute, Va., Sept. 27— Sixty enthusiastic candidates for foot- ball, including Captain T. T. Coleman, All-American tackle and a large num- ber of letter men of last year’s champ- ionship team, donned football togs at the jeall of the Hampton ‘coaches, Charles H. Williams and Gideon E. Smith, which was issued for the 22nd of September. The new material is very promising and a hard and well-fought battle for varsity berths is certain to be held in the remaining days before the first game and thereafter. The Howard game is anxiously awaited by all followers of football. Howard and Hampton are great rivals and a game between these schools is always awaited with the greatest of interest. by everyone. Howard is keenly anxious to get revenge for last year’s defeat at the hands fo the “Sea- s{derd,” while Hampton is equally anxious to come out the victors. A large attendance is expected at this game. This is the first mecting of these teams on Armstrong Field. The field is in good condition and an iron fence is being erected and will be completed for the first game. Indi- cations point to a great season for the fighting “seasiders.” Hamptonians everywhere are wait- ing in tense anticipation for the thud of the pigskin and the shrill call of the referee's whistle.

The Tiger-Dragon battle this year promises to be a thriller, and a record-breaking crowd is expected to witness it, The boys have been carefully drilled in all the fundamentals of football, and the rules of the oval game. The offensive work of the entire squard is excellent. Next week will be de- voted mainly to defensive plays Coach Douglas has definitely decided not to name the team to start against Seminary until a few minutes before the combat. There are no casualties, and everybody looks like a world beater. Through dint of hard’ work many of the new men have advanced to a commanding position in the pigskin ranks; and several dark horses may be found in the line-up that begins the game for St. Pa ul when “Dock” Morrison sounds the refree’s whistle on the afternoon of October 6. Walker, St. Paul's stellar quarter- back, is certain to land his old berth. He is in tip-top form. While Cooke, Collins, and Williams are splendid generals and versatile players and showing up remarkably well, Walker maintains his previous margin of superiorty. His off-tackle bucks are all good, and he is calling the signals rapidly and geurately, and he is playing a strong, consistent game. KY.

Graves, lately a star in the backfield of the Michigan Aggies ‘team, assumed his post as Head Coach at the Institute this week. He comes bringing with him 2 wealth of foot- ball experience, having been a member of the Pratt (Kansas) High School team during his four years’ before en- tering the Michigan Agricultural Col- lege. During his three years’ member- ship on the varsity there, he made an enviable record for himself—receiving the favorable comments of all sport writers in the Western Conference. Coach Graves is being assisted this year by Dean Puryear, who has sue- cessfully coached baseball here at the Institute for several years. Dean Puryear, formerly of Va.

Plans for the structure have been completed and actual construction will begin it ‘the spring, provided the next Congress makes the balance immediately avail, able otherwise work on the structure will not start until the fiscal year’ period, July 1924. LET THERE BE NO FORFEITURE THIS SEASON Our college football records of recent years reveal an appalling number of forfeited games. About a half-dozen were listed last fall. In addition, fow of our games are played without frequent intervals of argumentation. There is absolutely no necessity for a single forfeiture during a season, and there is but little excuse for debating over the rules on the field. Officials are in most instances-agreed upon shortly after contracts for games are ‘signed, And while a shortage of capable officials still exists in certain sec, ‘tions, the number is gradually increasing and showing improvement; and the demand can easily be met with a little financial outlay. The responsibility for teams walking off the Geld, indulging in prolonged arguments on the field and displaying other unsportsmanlike action, falls on ‘the coach, And it is to be hoped that coaches will, if necessary, sacrifice vie- ‘tory te give the spectators what they pay to see—four quarters of football, ‘MORE NEWSPAPER SPACE TO TEAM-PLAY | The Football Rules Commitee has requested sport writers eovering football games this fall to pay less attention to individual stars in thelr articles and devate more space to team-play. The Committee no doubt wants to make the coach’s task an easier one. A let of publicity to stars in many instances hurts real team-play. In ceriain cirelcs there is a belief that individual football players are already getting an excesive amount of publicity which it is claimed breeds professionalism, prosyleting and other things inimical to the best interests of the game. The sport writer -will experience great difficulty in pleasing his readers if he fails to pay a certain amount of attention to the individual stars. The average fcotball fan is far behind the average baseball fan in knowledge of jhis respective sport. But the recommendation of the Rules Committee if jadhered to by the writers, will gradually educate the football lover in the |inside-of-the-game and put the spectator in a position to appreciate the player who makes a long run possible throuh his clever interference as much in they do the player that carries the ball. New INTEREST IN FOOTBALL AT TUSKEGEE Some months ago the writer asked a former Tuskegee mentor why there "Was such a lack of interest in athletics at this institution. In answering, this well-informed individual traced the situation to the faculty members who, ‘unable to visualize the value of athletics, awill not adhere to any progressive policy, All are content to let Tuskegee go along year after year with weak fcotball teams. Consequently, many smaller colleges of the South have | overshadowed the institute made famous by Booker “T” and almost put it into a state of oblivion. A change, however appears to be in order this fall. R. S, Darnaby, graduate manager of football at Tuskegee, has heralded the glad tidings that & new coach, Cleve L. Abbott, of football fame at South Dakota State, will shape Tuskegee’s destiny on the gridiron this fall. Head-coach Abbott will be asisted by Meyers, the former Virginia Union tackle, both well-known in these parts. Morehouse has been the premier of southern athleties in reeent years. Coach Harvey has no intention of relinquishing any claims of his aggrega- jtions. Fisk, Talladega and Atlanta are very much in the spotlight and Promise to remain so. All of which leads to the prediction that there will be some heated competition among the southern colleges from now on. Including games played September 22nd. HILLDALE ‘NEARS ASSOCIATION PENNANT Facing the task of winning nine out of ten games to tie the league leading Hilldale Club, the Cuban Stars have ‘their work cut out for them to knot up matters in the Eastern Colored League race. The Islanders bested the Brooklyn ‘Royal's taking four out of seven in their barnstorming trip through New York state, Rain broke up what probably would have proved to be the deciding game of the league series for Ed. Bolden’s Hilldale team, when a deluge pre- vented the Darbyites from mixing matters with the Cuban Stars in the final tilt with the Islanders. A win for the Hilldale sluggers would have settled matters definitely and clinched the bunting for Bolden’s cohorts. In the event that Pompez’s Cu- ban Stars eopped the game, they have [a mighty tough row to hoe to get near the flying Philadelphians. The Cu- bans dropped into Baltimore for a three game series with the Batlimore |Sox, but only the first encounter will jeount inthe league standing, as it \will round out their quota with the | Marylanders. | Commissioners to Lay Plans for | ‘Next Season | Although everything pertaining to jsiness of the current season, awarding |with the smoothness of the proverbial clock during the first year of organ- ized ball in the East, Chairman Bol- tien has issued a call for a meeting at which matters of finishing up the bu- sines sof the current season, awarding |the pennant to the winner and laying ies for the next season will be thor- oughly covered.

Wills Expected to Put Smith Away Wills Expected to Put Smith Away NEW YORK, September 22—A ten- round bout between Harry Wills, Negro heavyweight, and Homer Smith of Kalamazoo, Mich., which was to have been held Thursday night, has been postponed until October 4. Smith injured his right hand last night when he knocked out Sergt. Ray Smith in the eighth round at Kalamazoo, Mich. The bout will be of unusual interest, not only because it will mark Will's first ring appearance in a year, but also because Smith gained prominence by staying the limit in a 10- round match with Luis Angel Firpo last August 8, at Omaha, Nebraska. Smith was the first boxer to stay the limit with Firpo since the Argentine mauler's advent to pugilistic fame in this country. Wills, unsuccessful in his protracted campaign to force Jack Dempsey into a title match, now has declared his willingness to meet Firpo to decide which shall be entitled to the next bout with the champion. But so far little progress has been made toward making the match for Wills has flatly declared he will not fight Firpo in Argentina, while the South American battler already has signed with Tex Rickard to box Wills next April in his native country. Firpo is not anxious to don the gloves again before next spring or summer, but is insistent that, if he fights Wills, the bout be staged in the Argentine. Wills is holding out just as firmly for the match in this country. . Wills plans to engage in a three months' exhibition tour following his fight with Smith next week. Did you ever notice that the smartest boy or girl in school usually becomes a teacher—the system is for teachers rather than actual workers. MR. HOKUM, YOU TESTIFIED IN A CASE THIS MORNING, AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE FIND OUT IF YOU KNOW ANY OF THE JURYMEN! I. SOKUM. ATTY. AT LAW WALK IN BIG TUSKEGEE SQUAD HARD AT IT Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 27—With the problem of whipping his team into shape for the first game of the season, with Clark University on October 6, confronting him, Coach Abbott is driving the Tuskegee Tigers at full speed on Washington Field every department of the game. He is being assisted by T. C. Meyers of Lincoln University and J. H. Brown of Union University. The squad of 47 huskies that responded to the call of Coach Abbott is the largest ever assembled on Washington Field. While the majority of the candidates are inexperienced they are big, fast, enthusiastic and willing to learn. This will in a large way offset the lack of experience. T. C. Meyers, former star quarterback at Lincoln University under the tutelage of the famous Fritz Pollard and the fourth member of the famous Ridgeley, Law, and Parr backfield combination at Lincoln in 1918 and 1919, is coaching the backfield candidates in the finer points of forward passing and in side-stepping, dodging and screening the ball in a running attack. The "heavies" composing the line are being teamed by John H. "Big Brown" of Union, who was himself for four years, one of the hardest charging and much feared linesmen in the Eastern Inter-collegiate football circles. He is emphasizing the use of the hands and legs in blocking and breaking through and is developing a big, strong, fast, hard charging line behind which Coach Meyers' proteges will operate. Coach Abbott in an interview today stated that he was well pleased with the progress of his boys and felt that in spite of the fact that the team would be lacking in experience, the Tigers hailing from the plains of Alabama would make themselves felt in the Southern grid circuit this season. Among the men who are showing mid-season form are; Boass at quarterback, Joiner and Wooten at fullback, Bailey, Stevenson and Penny at halfback; Danzbie and Tadlock at tackle, Wright and Brown at guard and Gilbo, Duncan, Clay and Watson at end. After all, the real genius is the man who can get along with people. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1923 YEH, I KNEW MORE THAN HALF OF 'EM ATT AT LA WALKIN WON BY TEXAS GIRL New York,—Miss Viola T. Dolphie, who came to New York a year ago, won the annual tennis tournament at Central Park. As her opponents appeared they were singly eliminated by the brilliant playing of Miss Dolphie, whose opponent in the finals was Miss Dalia Schwimmer, a Jewish girl. The winner is from Corpus Christi, Texas, and attended Austin High School, Tillotson College, and finally graduated from Fisk University at Nashville. HORNETS MEET WHITE SOX The Civil Service Commission's Hornets, one of the contenders for second place in the Colored Department League, will visit Lakeland, Md., Sunday where they will encounter the Maryland White Sox.

Vaillant - Couturier, communist member of the chamber, who is promoting Siki's candidacy, declares the pugilist should be elected as a protest to treatment of the French Negroes by American tourists. BEAUX ARTS TO GO IN FOR FOOTBALL It is generally rumored that the Beaux Arts, the popular local social club, will have a football team on the field this fall. Just who is behind the advent of the Sheiks into the gridiron circle could not be learned, but it is claimed that a number of former high school and college players are ready to start drilling to make the Beaux Arts the city's leading independent eleven. "Freck" Boone, one of the Arts' officials, was formerly a star lineman at Dunbar. ROAMERS ALMOST READY The Roamer football team of Alexandria, is nearly ready to start their football season. With a few more practices they will be ready for their foes. All teams desiring games with them write to W. Murray, 813 Princess St., Alexandria, Va. "FOLLOW ME" MAKING 'EM LAUGH The 1923 edition of "Follow Me" opened at the Howard Theatre Monday night. Headed by the inimitable Billy Higgins, the funniest man on the stage today, "Follow Me" is without a doubt, the funniest show to play the Howard theater in years. The audience was in a continuous uprow through the whole performance. Cliff Ross aby assists Higgins in putting CLIFFORD ROSS CLIFFORD ROSS the comedy over. It is hard to decide which of the many scenes is the most mirth provoking, however, "Mrs. Jones' apartment," the "golf links" and the "divorce court" scenes in our estimation are about tied for first place. The 1923 edition is an entirely new show in every respect; new faces, new costumes, new scenery and an entirely new play. The work of Valada Snow was outstanding among the female members Miss Snow proved beyond a doubt that she can sing, dance and play a cornet Julia Moody, famous blues singer; Sylvia Mitchell; Susie Sutton and Alice Gorgas, also have important ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAR THAT YOU KNOW MORE THAN HALF OF THEM? SOKU ATTY AT LAW Kelly Newspaper Feature Service ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAR THAT YOU KNOW MORE THAN HALF OF THEM? lines which they put over with great success. Ernest R. Whitman as the straight man, lived up to his reputation as one of the best on the American stage. Anyone who enjoys a good hearty laugh will certainly miss a rare treat if they fail to see "Follow Me." "A laugh a minute" could easily be the trade mark of the show. "Follow Me" will continue at the Howard throughout next week. Old popular prices will reign throughout the engagement.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces a new drive in the interest of the fifty-four men of the 24th Infantry, who are yet in the federal prison at Leavensworth, Kans. These men have been confined in this prison since their trial for alleged participation in the Houston Riot in August 1917, when they endeavored to protect themselves from the attack of the white "crackers" in Houston. Thirteen men were hung at one time and six at another, at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to satisfy the clamor for blood from the "crackers" for the killing of more than a score of white people in Houston on that fatal night in August when a mob tried to clean up the 24th Infantry.

Adams THE WASHINGTON SYMPHONY AND CHORAL SOCIETY A Public Appeal for Support We're off! The commendable effort to again organize the music forces of Washington is under way on a far more tangible basis and constructive plan than ever before undertaken by colored folk in this country. We have seen and felt the need for this particular movement a long time, and it is being sponsored by persons whose hearts are in it with no ulterior motive or selfish spirit but love of art and race as their only incentive. No greater sacrifice could be made on their part, and with this fact, and the project as well in mind, certainly it should commend itself to all fair-minded citizens of this community. Most assuredly we need such an organization here. What have we of like character, pray tell? Nothing absolutely nothing of great proportion or influence on a large scale There are numerous minor organizations to be sure, but nothing in a major sense. In the white dallies we notice announcements of concerts by the New York Symphony Orchestra Walter Damrosch, director; the famous Sistine Choir from the Vatican, Rome; and the local National Cathedral vested choir augmented by a choir of 500 voices and the Army Band appearing here soon. What does all this mean to us as a racial group? Nothing whatever! We are not a part and parcel of them or even welcomed visitors altho a few may slip by on some pretext. Does one see a colored face participating in any one of these music groups? No! Then of necessity we should organize and support our own. Remember necessity is the mother of invention! That's the point we are emphasizing just now. We need thorough financial support to carry on the work. All big symphony artists are paid and white people contribute to this sustenance. What have we got to offer our men? Why can't our people sustain them? That's the greatest trouble with our race all over the country today but we can do it and we have faith enough to believe that the music loving public of this city can and will support this laudable movement as civic adventure well worth the while We stated that all white artists are paid, but in this case the elective conductor of this symphony orchestra does not expect present remuneration but will give his services without charge for the success of the cause. Commend that, please, as unusual in any person.

QUESTION BOX Dear Editor: While I was visiting at Buckroe Beach this summer I heard the expression "The Dog of Montargis." I waited until I reached Washington and now I am asking you to give me the story. JULIA A. RIVERS (17) Julia: The story pertains to a duel between a man and a dog. The strange incident was a trial by combat in which, according to the custom of the time, the judgment of God was to decide the issue and exonerate the innocent party. Aubry de Montdidier, a gentleman of France, in 1361 was traveling thru the forest of Bondy, accompanied only by his faithful dog, when he was mysteriously murdered and his body buried underneath a tree in the wood. For several days the dog brooded over his master's grave until, on the verge of starvation, he left it and returned to Paris. 5 5 (Drawing Series, No. 18) You are to take the figure "5" as it appears above and make it a part of a picture. For the best drawing a prize of five theater tickets to Dunbairn Theater DRAWING CONTEST When the poor animal arrived in the city, instead of going to his old home, he went to that of an intimate friend of his master's and attracted attention by whining and barking and tugging at the man's garments. Believing something had befallen Aubry, whom the dog had never left in this manner before, the friend allowed the animal to lead him to the forest of Bondy to the spot where Aubry was buried, whose body he soon discovered by digging where the dog scratched the soil with his paw. For a long time the identity of the murderer remained a mystery; then one day something happened which led to the trial. In the streets of Paris, the dog came upon the Chevalier Macaire, and, without any warning, made a vicious plunge at the chevalier's throat. So unusual and unprecedented was this act on the part of the dog that suspicion was immediately aroused against Macaire, who it was then remembered, had been one of Aubry's bitter enemies. When the King of France was informed of this incident he decided on a trial by combat to appeal to the judgment of God. Accordingly, he ordered the man and the dog to be brought together on the eighth of October at the Ile Notre Dame. The battle proved to be a decisive one, for the dog dodged Macaire's blows, sprang at his throat and forced him to the ground, where, in terror, he confessed his crime, the murder of Aubry, to the king. Carved on a mantel in the great hall of the chateau of Montargis is the story of the combat and perhaps because of this carving the dog has become known to the world as the Dog of Montargis. We should think "fair" of others, as well as play and act "fair" with them. OUR LETTER BOX Please place your age after your name in "every" letter.

ROBINS (11) EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS M (Reprinted from above-named book, by permission FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Reprinted from above-named book, by permission of author) (Continued from last week) that is soon to be filled with THE JOHN ROGERS GROUPS "TAKING THE OATH" "Taking the Oath," Mr. Rogers, it is said, considered to be his best piece of work, although not all of us will agree with him as to that. The scene is laid in the South in a part of the Confederacy occupied at the time by the Union army. It shows TAKING THE OATH AND DRAV Group, John Rogers, TAKING THE OATH AND DRAWING RATIONS, Group, John Rogers, sculptor a woman, who, driven by necessity, is taking the oath of allegiance to the Union before she will be permitted to draw rations from the Federal commissariat. It is probably her last resource, for we can well believe that the "invading" soldiers have relentlessly "levied on" everything of a sustaining character which eyes could see or picks and bayonets uncover. We can also believe that the needs of the child which clings to her skirt had some influence in overcoming her evident reluctance to the making of the sacrifice which clearly she feels that she is making. The woman's ill-concealed "mental reservations" to the terms of the obnoxious oath are suggested with fine subtly; while the quizzical banter, yet half-sympathy, in the look of the young Yankee officer is depicted with consummate art and is decidedly taking. Young "Africanus" leans his chin on the basket THE SURLY GUEST One day a man named John Randolph, of Roanoke, Virginia, set out on horseback to ride to a town that was many miles from his home. The road was strange to him, and he traveled very slowly. When night came on he stopped at a pleasant roadside inn and asked for lodging. The innkeeper welcomed him kindly. He had often heard of the great John Randolph, and therefore he did all that he could to entertain him well. A fine supper was prepared, and the innkeeper himself waited upon his guest. John Randolph ate in silence. The innkeeper spoke of the weather, of the roads, of the crops, and of politics. But his surly guest said scarcely a word. In the morning a good breakfast was served, and then Mr. Randolph made ready to start on his journey. He called for his bill and paid it. His horse was led to the door, and a servant helped him to mount it. As he was starting away, the friendly innkeeper said, "Which way will you travel, Mr. Randolph?" "Oh! Have I paid you my bill?" "Yes, sir." (A Rogers group) MORRIS MURRAY book, by permission of author) that is soon to be filled with the much-needed "grub," while he scans "missus'" face with questioning wonderment. Although these War Groups were made for "Northern consumption," there is in none of them anything that could reasonably give offense to the most ardent Southerner; and this particular group is noteworthy because in it there is, perhaps, an equal appeal to South and North. It may be that is the reason that Mr. Rogers came to regard it as his best work. WING RATIONS, sculptor THE WOUND "THE CAMP FIRE" (A Rogers group) "The Camp Fire or Making Friends with the Cook," is evidently an interesting group, but I have not been able to locate a copy of the group nor to secure a picture of it. However, I think I have a fairly distinct recollection of it and the thoughts it suggested to me when a lad. Indeed, it interested me, then, perhaps more than any other of those that I saw for reasons that will appear shortly. Mr. Taft quotes a brief description of the group which says: A hungry soldier seated upon an inverted basket, is reading a newspaper to an "intelligent contraband" who is stirring the tempting contents of a huge ebullient pot over a fire. Some one has said, and seriously too, that it was "bacon and beans" which freed the slave and saved the Union; meaning that these were the "Do I owe you anything more?" "No, Sir." "Then I intend to travel the way I wish to go; do you understand?" He turned his horse and rode away. He had not gone farther than to the end of the innkeeper's field, when to his surprise he found that the road forked. He did not know whether he should take the right-hand fork or the left-hand. He paused for a while. There was no signboard to help him. He looked back and saw the innkeeper still standing by the door. He called to him: "My friend, which of these roads shall I travel to go to Lynchburg?" "Mr. Randolph," answered the innkeeper, "you have paid your bill and don't owe me a cent. Travel the way you wish to go. Good-by!" As bad luck would have it, Mr Randolph took the wrong road. He went far out of his way and lost much time, all on account of his surliness From "Fifty Famous People," by James Baldwin. THE "ALL RIGHT" GIRL How many of you are "all right" girls and boys? I have an "all right" girl, and I hope other mothers have too. When I ask this little girl to do anything—and I ask her to do many things—she almost always says, "All THE WOUNDED SCOUT, group, Rogers, sculptor J.B.D. chief articles of food which sustained the Northern armies during the long struggle. But I recall that, in this group, the half-absorbed, mysterious expression on the cook's face, together with the suggestive pose of his head, gave me the impression that in this particular stew there were "gregients" for more tempting than bacon and beans. I suspected, rather, that in this scene we had the denouement of one of those occasions that Uncle Frank used to tell us about after returning from War—occasions when necks were stretched and even broken to enforce "loyalty." According to Frank's narration, when they would "hit" a new neighborhood they would "seize" all the fowls that were supposed to be six months old and over. The males would be ordered to "crow for the Union." If the fowls refused, as of course these "rebel" cocks would usually do, they were forthwith "confiscated," with all of their "houses." We can readily guess the rest. DED SCOUT, group, Rogers, sculptor "THE WOUNDED SCOUT" (A Rogers group) We come now to consider the group which the eminent critic and historian whom I have quoted so copiously says is "one of the best if not the best of Rogers' works." The name of the group is, "The Wounded Scout or A Friend in the Swamp." If Mr. Taft means that it is sculpturally one of the best, assuredly few will dispute the claim; for this group of two men, merged almost into one, mutually supporting and complementing each other, conforms to the accepted canons of sculptural art, except possibly some persons might object to the emphasis placed on unimportant details. If on the other hand Mr. Taft means that in loftiness of conception this group is the best, I for one, accept his decision. His quoted description of this noble group is brief but comprehensive— "A soldier torn and bleeding and far gone is rescued and raised up by a faithful and kind-souled negro." There is little need to add anything to this interpretation except perhaps to ask oneself whether this faithful and kind-souled Negro, who seemingly is mentally addressing the All-Merciful, is murmuring a prayer for guidance in caring for this new charge, or is whispering thankfulness for being vouchsafed the opportunity to succer one of his fellow-men. It may be said also that this group would have been equally as appealing and just as true as to fact, if the uniform on the rescued soldier had been Confederate instead of Union. (Continued next week) right!" and she says it as though she meant it, too. I have heard of children who, when asked to do something about the house would say, "I don't want to," or "Let Johnnie do it," or something like that. It was more bother to get them to do anything than to do it one's self. Which one do you think pleases Jesus the most? Which one do you think He was like when He was a little boy? I believe you can guess. (Mrs.) LOTTIE BRIGGS The foundation of success is THRIFT. Do you save your money? PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" GRANDDADDY LONGLEGS Submitted by Alice Smith (15) In September you will find these queer, long-legged spiders in every field and fence corner. They spin no webs to live in or to help them in catching prey, yet they are really spiders just the same. Their long legs which make them look as if they were walking on stilts, enable them to travel so far and so rapidly that there is little danger of the not getting all they can eat, although they like to have homes and stay near them as well as any of us. It is interesting to watch one pounce on his prey much as a cat does on a mouse. The prey is not held by his long legs, but in the handlike palpi, or lips. Granddaddy does not catch very large game, for the reason that his long legs are not fitted for holding prey, and his "palpi hands" are too small to grasp any thing large. We children used to catch a grand-daddy, hold him up and then say, "Granddaddy, granddaddy, tell me where the cows are." Of course he was supposed to point one of his legs in the right direction. As we generally knew where the cows were apt to be, it was no wonder that we saw to it that he pointed the right way. In his efforts to get free he often pointed in so many directions that of course he had to point toward the cows, if there were any. Perhaps you call him "grandfather graybeard," or "harvestman," or just "daddy longlegs." "Harvestman" is not a bad name for him, as it is in the harvest time that he is most numerous. He certainly does a man's work by saving our harvests from the millions of aphids that are so liable to do damage to them."—Retold from "Knawing Insects Through Stories," by Floyd Brallier. WHY BUTTERFLIES' WINGS ARE COLORED Although the wings of both butterflies and moths are very beautiful, they are very delicate. Even the winds and the rains often play terrible havoc with them. For the pretty colors of their wings are nothing more than fine dust, which can easily be rubbed off, leaving nothing but the veins and a thin, transparent membrane, wonderful indeed, says a writer in Science and Invention Magazine. Under the microscope the dust resolves itself into numerous plates, which overlap each other like the shingles on a roof. When one of these plates of scales is magnified 780 times it will be seen to consist of two parts; a base or place of attachment, and a blade or scale proper. The entire scale resembles a leaf. The base or point of attachment is like a short petiole, while the blade proper resembles the leaf. The scale consists of numerous fine tissues running from the base to the lobed tip. In reality these lines are tiny tubes used, probably, for the conduction of air. As the light strikes these tubes it is refracted and broken up just as a prism breaks up the light into its different colors. This refraction of the light on the scales gives the wings of these insects their bright color, and the great number of colors is caused by the arrangement of these tubes on the scales. PLAYING SCHOOL By Victor Brent (15) "Come on, Johnny, let's play school." "All right, Fred, who's to be teacher?" "I am. You were teacher yesterday." "All right. Let her go. I can answer any question you ask me" "You can, eh? Well, you know that an abstract noun is something you can see, but can't touch. Now, Johnny, give me an example: "A red-hot poker." "Now, Johnny, name five of Shakespeare's plays." “‘King Liar’, ‘A Merchant of Venus’, ‘Old Fellow’, McBath’, ‘Omelet.’” “Since your knowledge of grammar and literature is so punk, perhaps you know something concerning the Bible. Do you?” “Oh, yes.” “Could you tell me something that is in it?” “I can tell you everything that's in it.” “Let us have it, Smarty.” “Sister's beau's photo is in it,” said Johnny, “and ma's receipt for vanishin' cream is in it, and a lock of my hair cut off when I was a baby is in it.” At this juncture Alberto Carter came by and invited the boys to take a ride in his Maxwell, and the game of school was broken up.

NEWS Alexandria Agency 803 South Fairfax Street Phone 1398-J ALL-Stars Lead in Race for Cup The Alexandria All-Stars took a firmer grip on the Goldsmith Cup trophy on last Monday when they won their second game by defeating the Lafayette Juniors, 8 to 2. The first game of the series was won by the All-Stars on Thursday, September 20, from the Lafayettes (Seniors) by the large margin of 9 to 5. In the Monday game the All-Stars drew first blood in the third inning when Wicliff Jackson led a tally with the first hit of the game. The "Stars" totaled four runs in this inning, which put the game on ice, so far as the Juniors were concerned. Credit can be given for only six hits in this game as follows: Wicill Jackson, Theodore Lloyd 2, Reynolds, Finley and Broadus Beckham. Batteries: Lafayette Juniors—Wallace and Finley; Moncure, Finley and Miller. All-Stars—Broadus Beckham and Reynolds, Jones. Strike outs—by Wallace 3, Moncure 2, Finley 1, Beckham 4. The next clash will occur Monday between the senior and junior Lafayettes. The awarding of the cup will be made to the team winning the "first two" games from "both" opposing teams.
