First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 20 JUDGES Christian Harding Denies Ku Klux Held Initiation in White House It has been rumored during the past two years that the late President was a memeber of the Ku Klux Klan. No definite information on this could be obtained. However, after the death of the president the Klan began to hold memorial services for the President and this again brought forth the gossip that Mr. Harding was a clansman. It was stated but could not be confirmed, that when the Harding funeral train was journeying to Washington from Frisco, while nearing the Ohio Indiana line, a huge wreath of flowers in the shape of the Klan's cross was placed on the funeral train. So great has the gossip become lately connecting the dead President with the Klan that his former secretary, George B. Christian, Jr., wrote a letter to the New York World this week denying the truth of the story. The following statement appeared in The World, Sunday October 7: Systematic circulation by the Ku Klux Klan of boasts that the late President Harding was a member of the Invisible Empire evoked yesterday the following categorical denial by George B. Christian, Jr., who was Mr. Harding's secretary throughout his term of office: "All statements that President Harding was a Klansman or that there was a White House initiation are absolutely false. He held decided views contrary on their methods. "(Sined) "GEORGE B. CHRISTIAN JR." This statement, made at the request of The World, supplements that made by Dr. Charles E. Sawyer, Mr. Harding's personal physician in The World yesterday. The present version of the Klan boast is included in an account of the Harding memorial services held at Lake Charles, La., Aug. 10. At largely attended exercises held there in the open air in which clergymen of all faiths, including Jews and Catholics, participated, 200 robed Klansmen marched to a position just before the rostrum. Their leader, announcing they were members of the Lake Charles Klan, said: "Fellow Countrymen: We have come to join you in this ceremonial of mourning in honor of our deceased President and fellow Klansmen, Warren G. Harding." Accounts of this meeting, and particularly of the announcement regarding Mr. Harding, are being published throughout the United States in Klan papers and in papers that sympathize with the Klan, whether openly or otherwise. So many instances of this publication have been brought to the attention of The World in the last fortnight that the matter was laid before Football Howa Thanksgiving National Le The Washington Tribune President and Coach of W. and J. Refused to Honor South's Tradition WASHINGTON, Pa., October 6. Washington and Jefferson and Washington & Lee scheduled football game between Washington and Lee colleges, was officially declared off here last Saturday when the latter team refused to play against Charles West, star half back on the Red and Black team for the last three years and winner of the national pentathlon championship at Philadelphia last year. Upon arrival of the Washington and Lee team Graduate Manager Richard A. Smith protested against playing West, declaring it was one of the traditions of the southern institution that its athletes should not compete against a Negro player. Coach John W. Heisman declined to bar West from the game, pointing out that he was a bona fide student, and had represented the college in three previous years, this being*his final year. The final decision in the controversy was made by the heads of the two institutions. Dean Harry Campbell of the Washington and Lee faculty, informed of the situation by long distance telephone, gave instructions that the team should not play against a Negro athlete. The ultimatum was delivered to President S. S. Baker of Washington and Jefferson, who upheld Coach Heisman's ruling that West should not be barred. "I am sorry the unfortunate situation arose," President Baker was quoted as saying. "I respect the tradition which Washington and Lee is following in refusing to play this game, but Washington and Jefferson College is a northern school with traditions, too. It has never made any distinction against color or creed. Chalres West, who was the cause of the controversy, has been one of the best students in the college for the last three years. He has been an honor to the school, both as a student and as an athlete." Northern Press Comments Assail W. & L. The New York World under title (Continued on page 4) Mr. Christian for his answer.

Dunigan, policeman John A. Conrad and J. H. McParlan, a constable from La. Plata, Md. on May 21, 1918 admitted before Justice Bailey in Criminal Division No. 1, Wednesday that he was Herbert Copeland. There has been some doubt about his identity since his arrest in Arkon, Ohio early last July. When he was brought to Washington he denied his name was Copeland and stated he was innocent of the charges placed against him. The police department did not have any Bertillon measurements nor a picture of Copeland, and therefore had some difficulty in identifying him positively. However, since his admittance before Justice Bailey that he is the same Copeland, his case will now be placed for an early trial. He was brought into court to have counsel assigned. Justice Bailey inquired, "Is this Herbert I. Copeland?" The prisoner replied, "Yes, sir, this is Copeland." Copeland asked Justice Bailey to assign counsel for him and suggested names of lawyers whom he would like to have. The court stated that it was not bound to name any of the men suggested. In bringing Copeland into court the authorities took no chance on him making another escape. He was handcuffed to two other prisoners and a regular squad was detailed to watch him. ADMITTED TO ARMY SCHOOL OF MUSIC Another colored soldier has been admitted to the Army School of Music located here. He is Frederick R Beams of the 24th Infantry. Mr. Beams is not unknown in Washington. He attended Armstrong vocational School in 1915. He has served four years in the 24th infantry and won his admittance to the Army School of Music by hard work. He is twenty-five years old and is a native of Baltimore, Md. He enlisted from St. Louis, Mo. The Season Lincoln November 29, 1923 Philadelphia, Pa. the Season ncoln r 29, 1923 elphia, Pa. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 —Photos by Scurlock Many of Capital's Prettiest Signify Willingness to be "Miss Washington" Liberian Court Indicts Employees For Embezzlement Monrovia, Liberia—Special—The financial condition of Liberia is in a very desperate state. So bad has the situation become that the Government is not now in a position to pay her employees. This condition has forced many Government employees in the various departments to resort to stealling in order that they get funds with which to pay their expenses. The court dockets are literally crowded with embezzlement cases. The Liberian Circuit Court which is now in full session returned indictments against Jerome R. D. Padmore, Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court of Liberia for embezzlement. Mr. Padmore's case was called up and he pleaded guilty, but under extenating circumstances the jury returned a verdict of guilt and the court sentenced him to pay $280, the value of the stamps embezzled as set up with the records of the case, and a fine of $200 and a sentence of one year in jail was imposed. Norwood T. Dennis was indicted for embezzlement of stamps while clerk in the General Post Office. Indictments were also returned against Henry E. Snetter, secretary and accountant of the General Post Office; John Henry Smytle, postmaster of Monrovia; Elijah James Watts, stamp agent of Monrovia Post Office; Stanley C. Clark, parcel post clerk of the Monrovia Post Office, Norwood T. Dennis, Assistant Secretary of the General Post Office was also indicted for embezzlement of 69 parcel post packages at the Monrovia Post Office. An indictment was returned against Jesse E. Harris, cashier of customs, for embezzlement of $800 while employed in the customs service of the republic.

The Tribune's big "Beauty Contest" which is planned to select "Miss Washington" to go to Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day to officially represent Washington at the football classic—the Howard-Lincoln game—started off this week with full force. Already the entrants have begun to pile in. The contest promises to eclipse anything of its kind ever staged in Washington. The judges for the contest will be Prof. Luther G. Sadgwar, instructor in drawing at Shaw Junior High School; Mme. Mary Madeline Smith, proprietor of the Madeline Beauty Parlor, 1935 Ninth Street, Northwest, and Prof. James Vernon Herring, instructor in art at Howard University. With this corps of judges, the contest is assured of being judged absolutely on its merits. The decision of these judges will be final. Is Washington's most beautiful girl married or single? So far, more single girls have entered the contest than married ones, but this does not by any means close the argument. Another interesting feature to watch is whether the most beautiful girl has her hair bobbed or does she wear her hair fixed in the good old fashioned way. It is evident that the judges will have more than a job in picking the winner. The photographs so far received uphold Washington's longed cherished claim, that is, that in the Nation's Capital are to be found the most beautiful women of the race. The Scurlock Studio has set aside Wednesdays, from two to four p.m. and Saturdays from twelve to two p.m. as special days for the making of contestants' pictures.

CONTEST Ask President To Abolish Race Segregation In Departments Full Justice For Race Is Aim of Equal Rights League Petition The Equal Rights League of which Rev. J. T. Moppins is president, carried its fight for equal rights for the Negro, direct to President Coolidge last Saturday. The special committee which presented its grevities to the President was appointed at the recent annual convention of the association which convened in Brooklyn, New York. The committee was composed of William M. Trotter of Boston, Mass.; M. W. Spencer of Delaware; T. S. Harten of New York; James L. Neill of Washington, D. C. Rev. George Frazier Miller of New York; Isaac H. Nutter of New Jersey; Dr. Julia P. Coleman of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. T. S. Harten of New York; Rev. C. M. Moore of Missouri; Rev. L. C. Newby of Conneticut; H. R. Adams of Conneticut and J. S. Scott of Conneticut. The committee called on the President last Saturday morning, October 6, at 10: o'clock. The committee urged the President to advocate the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill; to take cognizance of the alleged disfranchisement of Negroes in the southern states; to take cognizance of the segregation of colored people in public conveyances and of the refusal to permit colored men to enter West Point and Annapolis; to put colored men and women in charge of the veterans' hospital at Tuskegee to pardon or parole seventy colored soldiers in Fort Leavensworth prison, and to refuse full recognition of Mexico while that country limits the immigration of colored citizens of the United States. The committee further asked the President of abolish segregation of colored employees of the federal government with particular reference to the Treasury, and Navy departments and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The President made no special reply to the various proposals, but is said to have declared his unalterable belief in the full rights of all citizens.

The latter is, however, increasing its capitalization to $250,000. This is the tenth company taken over by the Washington company. The joint statement of the chief executives of the organizations as addressed to the policyholders of the Standard Benefit Society, Inc., of Maryland, follows: October 5, 1923 We announce the consolidation of The Standard Benefit Society, Inc., of Maryland with The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D.

Tilghman was appointed Sheriff for the town He has fulfilled the position as recommended. Another credit due to the Association is the installing of electric light poles, and within a few weeks, the town will be lighted.

Olden Recital Seldom has a Washington audience listened to a more versatile singer than Sylvia Ward Olden proved herself to be in recital at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Monday night October 8. Mrs. Olden charmed, for one and a half hour, a large music-loving audience. The versatility of the singer was demonstrated by the program rendered. Selections from Handel, Faccio, and Giordani, Tirrindelli, Arditi and Verdi proved her ability to interpret the thought of the composers. Each type of song was done with a finish of true musicianship that will easily mark Mrs. Olden as one of the leading artists on the concert platform today. Mrs. Olden was ably supported at the piano by Charles Cecil Cohen whose two piano numbers met with enthusiastic applause on the part of a very appreciative audience. The recital as a whole will go down in musical history as one of the best ever offered to a Washington audience To Celebrate High Mass Solemn High Mass will be celebrated Sunday at 11 o'clock at St. Augustine's Church, in honor of the Feast of St. Augustine.

BAPTIST MINISTERS ENDORSE PROMOTION OF JOHN D. GAINEY That the recent promotion of John D. Gainey, of Chicago, Ill., to the position of Assistant Chief Clerk, in the Railway Mail Service, has met universal approval is attested by the fact that individuals and organizations throughout the country are each day sending to the Post Master General, and the Second Assistant, letters of commendation. The latest to reach the desk of these officials is a set of resolutions by the Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington and Vicinity, representing 35,000 Negro Baptists, which we herewith reproduce: Washington, D.C., Sept. 28, 1923 Honorable Harry S. New, Post Master General, Washington, D.C. My dear Sir: We, the Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington and vicinity, representing 35,000 Negro Baptists, desire to express to you our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your attitude towards the Negro employees in the Postal Service. We especially want to thank you for the promotion of Mr. John D. Gainey to the position of Assistant Chief Clerk, in the Railway Mail Service. We understand that this is the first time in the history of that service that a colored man has been so honored. We thank God that he has given you such an assistant as the Honorable Paul Henderson, who brought about this promotion. A man like him is really an assest to this great country, and we pray for and freely predict for him a brilliant future. We sincerely hope your administration will be a most successful one. Done by order of the Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington and Vicinity. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, President Rev. J. I. Loving, Secretary Committee: Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Chairman Rev. Aquillar Sayles, Rev. S. S. Wormley, Rev. Jas. Marshall. CLERKS GIVEN WORK AFTER PROTEST As a result of the protest which Neval H. Thomas filed with the city postmaster, William Mooney, the colored clerks have been employed on the temporary roll at the city post office. The post offices of the country are engaged in determining the cost of the different classes of mail matter, necessitating the employment of temporary clerks. Some fifty were employed in our city post office, and not one colored. Mr. Thomas appealed to Mr. Mooney and received a reply stating that no color discrimination would be allowed at the office, and that he would look into the matter. On October 5, twenty more clerks were employed, and out of the twenty ten were col- ored. Often the appointment clerks of the government practice discrimination without the knowledge or approval of their superiors. An appeal to the superior officials will sometimes correct the evil. ORGANIZE TO FIGHT FOR CIVIC BETTERMENT Newark, N. J. (Special)—Arrangements are being made by Civics, an organization composed of public spirited citizens of Orange, for a conference on problems confronting the colored citizens, to be held early in November. Civics is an organization which has been responsible for a great deal of the progressive legislation in New Jersey. Acting on a suggestion of former Assemblyman, Dr. W. G. Alexander, it has called a conference between this organization and a representative group of colored citizens from North Jersey. Topics to be taken up at this conference include the housing situation, the rent profiteering among the colte prices paid by the laboring people, ored population, the coal situation and especially those compelled to use fuel in small quantities, increase in school population owing to the influx of the colored people from the South, in- PHONE.

NOTE—When necessary use line underneath signature for address The Houston RiotCases A Summary In August of 1917, according to a report made by Martha Gruening, special investigator sent to Houston, Texas by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a riot occurred between colored United States soldiers of the 24th Infantry and white persons of Houston, in which numbers of people were killed and injured. The causes of the riot were given by Miss Gruening as: 1. The habitual brutality of white police officers of Houston in their treatment of colored people. 2. The disarming of members of the colored military police (provest guard) in deference to Southern anti-Negro prejudice, a step without precedent in the United States Army. 3. Lax discipline at Camp Logan, involving promiscuous visiting and drinking. Evidence gathered by Miss Gruening shows that the riot occurred only after two colored soldiers had been awantonly and brutally beaten and shot by white police officers for protesting at the brutal treatment of a colored woman by those white officers. The rumor that one of these colored soldiers, held in deep affection by his fellows, Corporal Baltimore, had been arrested, overtaxed the patience of the colored soldiers who took arms and went toward the police station with the intention of rescuing their comrades, despite orders not to leave their camp. Unprecedented severity was meted out to the colored soldiers whereas no white person, police officer or civilian was convicted. Nineteen colored soldiers were hanged after summary military court martial without being accorded the usual privilege of having their cases reviewed by their Commander-in-Chief. Sixty-seven were sentenced to life and long term imprisonment. Of the imprisoned, 54 still are in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Of these men Warden W. I. Biddle said recently: "I know these men. They are not murderers."

Whitby, 219 Florida Avenue, Northwest declines a position offered by Dr. Hines in the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital. This is the second letter sent by local physicians refusing service in the hospital. October 2, 1923 Honorable Frank T. Hines, Director, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Your letters informing me as to my being selected to the position as Chief of the Neuro-Psychiatric Service at the United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, have been received and seriously considered. Please pardon me for the long delay in replying; such was due to my absence from the city. Under favorable circumstances in rendering a service to the diseased and mained, the results obtained are from being satisfactory at all times either to the patient or physician. When conditions arise (however, secure the life the comfort and practice of the Physician may be) thereby creating in consciousness a sense of insecurity good results need not be anticipated. The United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee has been thrown into a chaotic state resulting from a contention on the part of racial groups as to who should man the hospital. This being true, a sense of insecurity has risen in my mind causing me to think it inadvisable to accept the position at the time, feeling that by so doing my present and future prac- had been exemplary prisoners, but hoped that efforts for their release would be successful as they had been harshly dealt with. It is in behalf of 54 clean, orderly and exemplary United States colored soldiers, imprisoned since 1917, that the petition asking President Coolidge to exercise executive clemency is being circulated. PETITION INSTRUCTIONS When filmed by bona fide signatures mail petitions to the N. A. A. C. P. 69, Fifth Avenue, New York City, where they will be arranged by states and in uniform lots, and all other necessary clerical work done that the pleas for pardon may make the most impressive showing when presented to President Coolidge. This should be done promptly. Remember, every signature will be one more aid towards freeing these men who for six years have been unjustly imprisoned. Do your part towards restoring them to their loved ones and to freedom. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 tree may be jeopardized. Thanking you for the singular distinction accorded me, I remain Yours very respectfully. (Signed) FERDINAND D. WHITBY It is interesting to note that Dr. Whitby has just been elected to the position of Associate Professor of Neurology in the Medical Department of Howard University. He is eminently fitted for this high position through both attainment and training. AT THE Y. M. C. A. The regular Sunday afternoon meetings will open Sunday, October 14, at 4 o'clock in the lobby. A prominent speaker has been secured; good music will be furnished. These meetings will be made a center of inspirational religious life for young men. Every speaker will be a man with a definite message. Sunday, October 7, Secretary Johnson spoke at the boys' meeting at St. Paul M. E. Church at Oxen, Maryland. Capt. Eugene Davidson, former national intercollegiate wrestling champion and member of the Harvard University wrestling squad for several years, has offered his services to give instruction in wrestling at the Twelfth Street Branch this winter. Courses are now being arranged. After the games at the formal opening of the "Gymnasium" last Monday night a banquet was served in the auditorium to all participants. Seldom has a more representative group of local athletes been together. Mr Simmons, "Y" Physical Director constituted himself an impromptu toast master. Several speeches were made and enthusiasm ran high. Secretary Johnson told of the plans being made for focussing the athletic life of the city around the "Y". The "Y" senior basketball squad has begun practicing for the season. Some promising material has reported. Lane, Cousins, Boozy and Davis are among the former stars who will wear the "blue and white" this year. The most successful season in years is expected. INSURANCE COMPANIES MERGE INSURANCE COMPANIES MERGE BIG (Continued from page 1) carry that responsibility with generosity and consideration. The National Benefit Life is one of the strongest and best managed Colored companies operating in this country and this merger was effected with the utmost good will on the part of the stockholders and officials of both companies. The National Benefit Insurance Company is twenty-five years old; has assets of three-quarter million dollars; is licensed to do business in 20 states; owns nine paid-for office and apartment buildings; has an agency and clerical force of 1000 and paid-up capital stock of $100,00.00, that is now being increased to $250,000.00, to which all policyholders are privileged to subscribe. For the convenience of the business, The National Benefit Life Insurance Company will, till further notice, maintain the "Standard Benefit" office in Baltimore, Md., at 1105 Druid Hill Ave. Policyholders in the Washington, D.C. District should after October 15th, correspond, when desirable, with the National Benefit Life Insurance Company at 609 F St., N.W. Washington, D.C. In fact, all correspondence and remittances should hereafter be made in the name of The National Benefit Life Insurance Company. All agents of the Standard Benefit Society will be retained and they are prepared to offer you a bigger insurance service. We ask for The National Benefit the heartiest co-operation of all the friends of the Standard Benefit. LOCAL INSURANCE MAN PROMOTED Charles E. Bryant, formerly local agent for the Southern Aid Society with offices at 7th and T Streets Northwest, has been promoted to the post of first assistant superintendent of the Washington district. Mr. Bryan has served as agent for over two years and had worked up a large debit. His promotion has been merited and will no doubt redound to the benefit of the many policy holders of this company in this city. O Street Vocational The O Street Vocational school for girls under the guidance of Miss L. C. Randolph, as principal, is setting a new pace this year. More than 135 girls are enrolled in the special subjects taught there. A new art course has been added this year. It is to be a two-year course and will be advanced work in beading, embroidering, wax work, lamp shade making and designing. Miss Randolph is making a survey of the various business establishments giving employment to girls in the subjects taught at her school, with the view of adapting the course to the needs of the establishments they are to serve. The domestic science department has a cafeteria service which is training girls to better that trade. The advance dress-making department has twenty-four girls enrolled, and the millinery department has six who will finish the course this school year. Miss I. M. Hall has charge of the physical culture department and has organized a basket ball team and a volley ball team. They will be in shape for the season when it opens.

READ THIS! To Whom It May Concern:— This is to certify that on the night of February 21, 1921. I was taken with a serious attack of inflammatory rheumatism which kept me in bed for nearly five months. During this time I was treated by five of the most skillful physicians in this city, but obtained very little relief. About the middle of the sixth month of my confinement, I heard of a Chiropractor, Dr. Mary E. Logan whose office is 1623 11th Street, N.W. As soon as I was able, I hobbled to her office leaning on two sticks and took my first treatment which so relieved me that I was able to walk home without an ache or a pain. After the third treatment I was able to return to work and have not lost a single day since. Respectfully yours, FREEMAN H.

Seminary Smith College at A. & T. Shaw at Va. Normal Ky. Normal at W. Va. Montgomery State at Talladega Clark Univ. at Morehouse Wilberforce at Simmons Seminary Hopes to Upset Howard While on paper Virginia Seminary does not look as dangerous a fee for Howard as Morehouse or Wilberforce, unless we miss our guess, today's game with the Dragons will be the stiffest battle Howard will encounter until the Hampton game. No prediction is herewith made as to who will be the victor, but should the Lynchburg college eleven come out on the big end of the score, it would not be at all surprising. The defeat of Lawrence's men at the hands of St. Paul last Saturday will only make them work harder today against Howard. However, a stronger and more experienced eleven will represent Howard against Seminary even though Coach Watson sends the same men back he used last week. Those who were disappointed with the local's showing against A. and T. fail to give full credit to Coach Byarm and his husky North Carolinians who came here seasoned and well drilled bent on taking Howard's number. Some of the supposedly "big fellows' on the A. & T. schedule are due for a surprise this season. Coach Watson's backfield once thought to be well fortified, from what was shown Saturday is now his chief worry. Contee and Doneghy are certainties but Whitted and Dodson who alternated at fullback, and Bacchus and Webster at quarterback failed to that no two men on the line have ever impress in the first game. Taking into consideration the fact played together and that the center trio were playing their first game, the coaches have every reason to feel optimistic. One or more of the four experienced backs—Carter, Peyton, Melton and Brannon—who are in professional school and previously withdrew from the squad because of insufficient time to devote to the game, may return and help bolster this department. DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE QUIETLY FADES OUT The local Departmental League opened its season this year in a world of glory and with bright hopes of realizing the greatest year in its history. The largest roster on record—ten clubs—started the campaign. All outside players not employed in the several departments were barred—which was declared a good thing for the circuit. However, after an auspicious opening, interest began to fade until now no one knows when the Departmental League season ended or how the clubs finished in either of the two sections of the schedule. KY. NORMAL 43: DANVILLE 0 (By J. A. Jackson) Frankfort, Ky., October 6—The Kentukey Normal football team opened the season here today by defeating the Danville A. C. of Danville, Ky., 43 to 0. Francis, Cox and Cooper starred for Normal, while Wood did most effective work for the visitors. St. Paul Downs Seminary Again (By J. L. Whitehead) Lawrenceville, Va. Oct. 6—With a determined offense that threatened to annihilate Virginia Seminary at several stages of the game, and with a defense that refused to acknowledge even the possibility of a defeat, St. Paul's primer machine swept to a 10 to 0 victory in their opening clash of the season here today. Not in the history of collegiate athletics is there recorded a cleaner and more scientific oval battle than that on historic Russell Field this afternoon. The galaxy of exciting plays, the diversified bombardment, the tense and thrilling moments, St. Paul's consistent onslaught and brilliant strategy, Seminary's audacious team work, and the keen spirit of friendly rivalry exhibited in the great fight for gridiron supremacy today are without parallel. As far as Virginia Seminary is concerned, St. Paul reigns king of the gridiron. St. Paul's victory this year is the third successive one over the mountaineers. The Tigers launched a bewildering attack. Their off-tackle, line-bucking and aerial plays were well directed Their defensive manoeuvers were piercing and effective. Douglas' proteges showed superior stamina and training. They outplayed the visitors almost four to one as attested by their thirteen to four first downs, and a completion of 8 out of eleven forward passes against four out of thirteen for Lawrence's lads. St. Paul's X-formation, original shifts, impenetrable and heavy line, skilled and speedy backs, and endurance were particularly noticeable. St. Paul scored in the first period. By a series of line plunges St. Paul reached Seminary's 41 yard-line-Maddux "slipped out" and Walker shot the pigskin to him, but he was brought down on Seminary's 5 yard-line. Williams sent Collins through right guard for the touchdwn. The third score came in 3rd period, when Walker scored a place-kick from Seminary's 19 yard-line. Captain "Red" Parker starred for St. Paul. His defensive and offensive work was unexcelled. Byrd's agility and elusiveness were prime factors in St. Paul's victory. Pierce though tackling high at times, performed admirably. Burrell, was far superior to his opponent. Coleman performed well. Powell, St. Paul's promising back, made a commendable showing. Tyler was Seminary's outstanding player. He played a clean, hard, fast and clever game. Captain Brown did good work at left tackle. Jordan played the best game of his long football career. Whedbee, Perry and Moore came up to expectations. SEVENTH STREET CLEANS UP ON DUDLEY'S HORSE Rumored as having caused one man to commit suicide, "Strut-Miss-Lizzie" the game three-year-old filly of S. H.

C. will journey to Alexandria, Va., Sunday, October 14, to play the Roamer A. C. of that city. The game is to be plyaed in the Dreadnaught Park on King Street, at 3:30 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 Bordentown Easy For Lincoln The Lincoln Lions made their first appearance of the season under the "personal direction" of Coach Young and swamped the Bordentown eleven, 53 to 0. Captain "Whirlwind" Johnson started Lincoln's scoring with a touchdown just three minutes after the initial whistle. The entire team "B" played the second and third periods, scoring a touchdown in each. Captain Johnson lead Lincoln's attack and scored 30 points. "Jazz" Byrd contributed a 65-yard run for a touchdown. The varsity team lined up as follows: Lancaster and Taylor, ends; Wilson and L. Johnson, tackles; Grasty and Poindexter, guards; Jason, center; Byrd, quarter; Goodman and W. Johnson, halfbacks; Lee, fullback. Morgan has returned to Lincoln and will be back at his old position at center very soon. Wilson at tackle shapes up as a real "find" and threatens to supplant ex-captain Coston, Scott, Crudup, Pollitt, Bal Taylor, Stratton and Ward are working hard for regular positions. "Buster" Brown the smallest man on the squad may yet land the quarterback berth Lancaster and Goodman are due for great years. A. & T. Surprises Howard A. & T. Surprises Howard The husky warriors of the A. & T. College eleven forced Howard to the limit to take their measure on the local's campus Saturday before a larger gallery by the count, 7 to 0. The closeness of the score signifies the Tarheelers' real strength more than it does Howard's weakness. There was little difference between what the teams showed on the field. All fumbles were recovered by a player of the side which fumbled. The Southerners made five first downs to Howard's four and two of the latter's were the results of penalties. A. & T. penalized four times for a total of 20 yards while Howard suffered two penalties, totaling ten yards. The punting of Doneghy gave the locals a margin, although Coleman punted well for the visitors. Only two forward passes of any gain were completed. A pass from Doneghy to Williams for a 20 yard gain placed the ball on the visitors 7-yard line and paved the way for Doneghy to carry the ball over after three attempts. An A. & T. player was offside when Howard tried for extra-point and the penalty added another point. The other completed pass was executed by the visitors in the fourth period, Howell to Lane, for a 22-yard gain, placing the ball within Howard's ten-yard line where the locals held and kicked out of danger. The ball remained near the middle of the field during practically all other periods. The A. & T. line and backfield put up a great defensive game. Howell contributed a few short gains through Howard's line. Doneghy was unable to make any consistent headway through the visitors' defense After he broke through only to be stopped by the secondary defense Contee's defensive work stood out.

CENTER of controversy between W.&J. and W.&L. SOUTHERN COLLEGE REFUSES TO PLAY "Poor Sportmanship has this to say: Those who saw Washington and Jefferson play Lafayette at the Polo Grounds last year are likely to remember the game is a perfect exposition of all methods of football attack and defense. Nor are they likely to forget the work of Charles West at fullback for W. and J. and how he led his team through a solendid rally n that last quarter. West seemed to inspire his flagging mates, passing and running with such skill as to change defeat into victory in the closing minutes of play. It was all the more striking because West was a tall powerful Negro. It is unfair to say that Washington and Lee was inspired by a desire to dispose of the enemy's champion without striking a single blow. It is not unfair to say, however, that they were not good enough sportsmen toisk reefat the hands of one they regarded as a social inferior. And it is not unjust to say that as Virginians they maintained a shabby tradition, and as sportsmen they deprived themselves of all claim to recognition among those who maintain the brighter traditions of sport. Southern Sentiment The Richmond Times Despatch holds up for the traditions of Washington and Lee with the statement. No Southerner blames Washington and Lee for the stand it took. Social quality has not been extended to the Negro here. The Negro understands that perfectly and appreciates the reason for it. ********College sports are purely social. And social distinctions necessarily are arbitrary. If the white man of the South declines to admit the Negro to his circle, that is his particular business. Writer Admires West The Sports Editor of the Hearst's Baltimore American blames Jimmy Deport, the Washington and Lee coach for not having a definite understanding before the day of the game. He adds however, that: This writer knows West personally from athletic relations and does not hesitate to set him down as a gentleman. West has been a model student and athlete at Washington and Jefferson and has compiled an amazing record for achievement. The Richmond Times-Dispatch also scores Heisman, W. & J. football coach and formerly head coach at Georgia Tech by stating that, "Heisman has lost his prestige in the South." The Boston Post on its Editorial page under a heading "All Honor To W. & J." says in part: The Post's news report said several thousands of football fans were disappointed" at their failure to see a game. But very many more thousands of the lovers of justice and manhood, the whole North over, are not disappointed in Washington & Jefferson. The only exception possible to take is the remark of its president; "I respect the tradition which Washington and Lee is following in refusing to play this game." We do not regard it worthy of any respect. Local Papers Quiet Washington papers would not commit themselves to any stand on the controversy between the colleges. It was reported that many of the Washington and Lee football players who made the trip hurried from Washington, Pa. the site of the school, to Pittsburg and did not wait on the train scheduled to take them back to Virginia. The sentiment was bitterly against the Southerners and many threats were undoubtedly heraled at them. T HARRY WILLS Harry Wills Wins By Knockout in Second Round Harry Wills Wins By Knockout in Second Round New York, Oct. 11—Harry Wills, coated heavyweight champion and challenger of Jack Dempsey, knocked out Homer Smith, the fighter who stayed fifteen rounds with Luis Angel Firpo, in the second round of their bout at the Queensboro stadium tonight. Wills floored Smith four times in the first round and had Smith holding at the bell. At the start of the second round Wills rushed his man to the ropes, landing left and rights at will and knocking him out with a right to the jaw. Fans To Have Chance to Buy Potomac Stock Fans To Have Chance to Buy Potomac Stock Manager Ben Taylor of the Potomacs has announced that a baseball stock company will be organized in the near future and Washington fans will be given an opportunity to purchase a certain percentage of stock in their favorite club the "Potomacs." Manager Taylor states that the season was not as profitable as it should have been, mainly because of the fact that he did not have a park where he could play regularly when at home. However, prospects are unusually bright for securing a park for the coming season. Also there is a possibility of Washington being represented in the Eastern League next year. The Potomacs closed an unusually successful season last week by taking five out of six games from the Baltimore Black Sox while on a barnstorming trip. These victories over the Black Sox give the Potomacs clear title to the championship of Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia. Manager Taylor developed a number of promising youngsters during the past season, chief of whom are Joe Goodrick the peppary third-sacker and Peter Washington the fleet outfielder. Clarke and Rankin are young pitchers who also showed a lot of ability under Taylor. The season's record of the Potomacs were fifty games won, forty lost and four tied which is extremely remarkable considering the fact that all the best white semi-pro teams and Colored Eastern League teams were met. Information in regard to buying stock in the club can be obtained at the Tribune office or by getting in touch with Manager Taylor at 535 Florida Ave., N.W. HILLDALE ADDS CHAMPIONSHIP The Hilldale club added the championship of the Philadelphia Baseball Association to their credit Saturday by truncating the Chester (Pa.) Club, 16 to 2. "Nimp" Winters was on the mound for Bolden's men. The champs are now ready to face Connie Mack's Athletics and gain more laurels. Former Dunbar Player Stars For Amherst Playing end on the Amherst College eleven which held Columbia to a scoreless tie Saturday, Charles Drew, captain of the 1921 Dunbar High football team, distinguished himself with a remarkable exhibition. Drew has been used at both end and halfback this year and has shown startling ability at both. This is the Washington product's second year at the Massachusetts college. TAYLOR INELIGIBLE The Northwestern College eleven is still very weak at one end because Sam Taylor the former Va. Union University star is having troubles with his class work. Taylor did not play against Beloit Saturday and will remian ineligible until his conditioned work is made up. COLORED STAR A GRID VICTIM Ames, Iowa, Oct. 11—Jack Trice, Cleveland, Ohio, Negro, a sophomore at Iowa State college, and star tackle on the football eleven, died Monday afternoon from injuries received in the Minnesota game at Minneapolis, Saturday.

The club is fortunate to have former Morehouse, Tuskegee and Storer stars in its line-up. And the college boys had to batter these stars into (almost) insensibility before they would let them pass to the goal for the first touch down. The college line was nearly 40 pounds lighter than Hagerstown's but the little fellows had been hardened like bricks by the untiring efforts of the two new coaches from Lincoln University, Messrs. Patrick and Newman. The squad is very much greener than it has been in a number of years. But with new systems of play and a host of new men all are certain that Storer will remain the power she has been in this section. The Hagerstown-Storer score was 20 to 0 with the college on the big end. BLACK SOX LOSE TO HILLDALE Baltimore, Md., Oct. 9—The Black Sox nine went down to defeat at the hands of the Hilldale Club in both ends of a twin bill yesterday at the Maryland Baseball Park, 8 to 3 and 8 to 2. Inability to hit Ryan and Hampton told the tale. The visiting twirlers held the local lads in check, while their teammates rammed the benders of Bretter, Carr and Clarke for 23 safeties.

TUSKEGEE DEFEATES CLARK TUSKEGEE DEFEATES CLARK Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct.—6 The initial growl of the Tuskegee Tiger was heard on Washington Field, here Saturday afternoon, when Coach Abbott unleashed his big machine for an attack on the fast and highly-touted Clark University of Atlanta, Georgia. When the referee's whistle called a halt to the hostilities of the afternoon, which was the first game of the season the score was Tuskegee 35, Clark University 0. The feature of the game was the defensive work of the entire line of Tuskegee and the kicking of Stevenson for Tuskegee. Clark was outclassed in every phase of the game, as the warring Tiger, swept their ends and ploughed the line at will. The whole game was played in Clark's territory and penalties prevented a larger score. Officials: Refree Maxwell,—Morehouse College.

Cook, head linesman GREAT PROSPECTS AT UNION Richmond, Va., October 11—Displaying a brand of football seldom before ever demonstrated on Hovey Field Park last Friday, the formidable Virginia Union University eleven climaxed her long strenuous training activities by the season's first regular scrimmage. Among the notables sporting the red and steel regalia for the first time, are: Miller, guard, all-star on Boston's English High squad and the Cushing Academy eleven, Julius Martin, half, all-scholastic Boston High School star; Leroy Williams, former sterling half from St. Paul, Shields half, last year's Peabody High Satellite and Glenn, formerly of DeWitt High School, New York. A great deal of inspiration has been given to the team by the late return of Barksdale, Derritt and "Big" Smith. The first eleven was successful in winning a keenly contested gridiron clash by the score of 6 to 0. With B. Smith and Corrothers, end; Barksdale and Houston, tackles; Rooks, center; Merritt and Howard, guard, and Allen Jackson, quarter, J. F. Martin and Leroy Williams, halves and Al Fentress, our All-American fullback. The second team gave the regulars whole-hearted opposition, being led in their attack by the aggressive Scrapy Brooks at center, Morton, full and Lightfoot at tackle, Wop Tally and THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 Pierce were charging halves. Saturday Union clashes with the strong A. S. C. Club. Coach Martin's course of football education is producing great results on the squad. B. C. Gregory is the Coach's able assistant. HAMPTON OPENS TODAY WITH MORGAN Hampton, Va., Oct. 11—The second week's practice of the eager and enthusiastic Hampton gridiron candidates has proved to be a success in every way. There have been no injuries of a serious nature, only a few minor injuries being reported. The coaches are elated over the manner in which the players are rounding into true "Seasider" form. The recruits are showing real varsity form in all of the workouts. They promise to give the letter men a great fight. Among the candidates who are showing up well are; Butler, formerly of Wilberforce and Pindle of Hampton for the pivot position; Julia C. Kennedy for end; Dyson, formerly of Detroit High; Lewis, formerly of Buffalo Tech; Johns of Kentucky State Normal; Fletcher, formerly of Kansas City High School; and J. P. Taylor of Hampton. The entire first squad, with one or two exceptions, is made up of letter men. The line has many of its positions filled by veterans and promises to be equally as impregnable as last year's line. The backfield will be built around such versatile and heady players as Cardozo, a ripping line-plunger, David Gunn, who won many points with his trained toe; B. Jacobs, the diminutive but great quarter; Kings an exceptionally fast all-round player; Williams, a great broken-field runner who was injured early last season, and Hardwick, a great line-plunger. VA. NOMAL READY FOR ST. AUGUSTINE Petersburg, Va., October 11—After about ten days of intensive training and hard grinding on the part of the teams, the Hill Topper's squad has begun to settle itself down to the form which it displayed during the middle of last season. Although under new coaches, who make use of a system different from that used here at any previous season, it is one of the big surprises to see the alacrity with which the entire squad has work itself into the new plays and forma- tions, and even the recruits are making the showing that will upset the usual dope as to who will play in this or that position. Coach Graves has devoted his time this week to developing that backfield which is destined to shatter the hopes of the association members this year; and the showing of Coles, Epps, Turner, D. Brown, Ross and Walker, has made this prediction all but a certainty. In addition to these men, the coach has developed a reserve backfield which will be able to take care of our interests in any event thru the season. Coach Puryear is putting to wonderful advantage, the experience which he gained as member of the team which took Union to the association championship in the 1917 season. The fight which the line displayed in the practice game between the varsity and the second team was evidence of the success of his work, for the lines were so evenly matched that one would have difficulty deciding which was varsity and which second line. SOLDIERS NO MATCH FOR MOREHOUSE (Pu L. S. Parnes) Morehouse College, Oct. 6—The Morehouse Tigers opened the season by defeating the powerful 24th Infantry eleven from Camp Benning by a score of 30 to 6 on Saturday, October 6. The game was brilliant throughout. The Infantry men brought a backfield noted for its broken field runners. They often tore through the Morehouse line for 15 to 20 yards in the first quarter, but their only touchdown came in the second quarter when a penalty placed the ball on Morehouse's 10-yard line. Camp Benning then skirted right end for its touchdown. Capt. Oliver, Williams, and Freeland led the offense for Camp Bennings. The entire Morehouse team played good football. Franklin, halfback, played a brilliant offensive game making three touchdowns. Capt. Kelly was the best all-round man playing a perfect game. Jordan, full-back; and Forbes, end, played their respective positions in mid-season form. The Veteran tackle, Irving, again and again stopped men who tried to pierce the Morehouse line. Hutt, a recent recruit, handled his position as quarterback like a veteran. He kicked three out of four goals and in the last minute of play ended the game with a sensational drop-kick from the forty-yard line.

Breath Taking Colorful Film at the Broadway Lon Chaney and Virginia Valli Share Starring Honors In Universal-Jewel Those who go to the Broadway theatre, Sanday, Monday, Tuesday, will look at the world from the top of Telegraph Hill, one of the famous scenic spots of San Francisco. They will stand where Jack London stood when planning his stories that opened the Golden Gate to the fascination of the world. They will overlook the best and the worst of San Francisco as it was in April, 1906, and listen to the dirge in the Song of the Cities. Lon Chaney is the star of "The Shock," a Universal-Jewel story of a man with a twisted soul and a crippled body who lived and loved in the reeking rendezvous of remorse that was named for a saint and harbored sinners from the ends of the world. The production moves swiftly to the breath-snatching climax which comes as a living, vital reproduction of the San Francisco earthquake.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5c per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request MARRIED WOMEN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS This problem in the public schools is now receiving much attention. There are more than 175 married women employed as teachers in the public schools of Washington. This large number of married women is becoming a serious problem for the school officials and producing new questions to be settled in the near future. The city maintains teacher-training Normal Schools to prepare teachers for the schools. The graduates from these schools are eligible to appointment in the grades of the city schools. Last year the doors of these Normal Schools, as well as the high schools were opened to married women as students. This year there is an increased number of married women as students in these schools. There is a clause in the school law which permits married women to take a two years' leave of absence, known as the "the maternity leave." After two years, the mother-teacher may apply for reinstatement into the teaching force of the schools. At the last meeting of the Board of Education the Superintendent was instructed to prepare a report on a married teacher who is trying to get her reinstatement after a maternity leave. This report is to be made at the next meeting of the Board. There are a number of married teachers out on "maternity leave" and the number is increasing. As these married-teacher-mothers are reinstated, it cuts down the possible appointments of the graduates of the Normal Schools. While there is no law prohibiting married women from teaching in the city schools of Washington, there are any number of cities where married women do not teach in the public schools; and it is felt by many that it should be so here. There is a growing public sentiment that there are too many married women in the Washington public schools' teaching force, particularly does this sentiment apply in the cases of the wives of business and professional men. There are even married women whose husbands live in other cities, who continue to teach in the Washington city schools. While it may be true, as is advanced by our educators, that married women (especially if mothers) make more competent teachers, it is felt by many that inasmuch as our problem as a group is largely an economic one, a greater good can be attained by the more liberal distribution of these teaching positions. Certainly more families could be helped in their economic struggle by this large distribution of employment. There are some educators who have given some thought and have paid some attention to the matter of whether or not the children in the schools today are advancing any faster than was the case when there were no married teachers in the schools; and who are strong in their opinion that the children are not advancing any faster than before. The theory that a mother-teacher is a better teacher than one who is not, would not apply to the majority of these married teachers for most of them are not mothers. It is to be hoped that this growing problem which, after all, is the public's problem, will be taken up by our Board of Education and solved in the best way for all interests concerned. LIBERIAN COURT INDICTS EMPLOYEES (Continued from page 1) against Samuel S. Collins for fogy in connection with the receivership accounts while he was employed as chief clerk of his receivership. The family of Mr. Padmore, chief clerk of the Supreme Court of Liberia, petitioned President King to remit the punishment but was not successful. So far however, Mr. Padmore is not in chains nor is he working on the streets as others would do if they had been convicted of similar offenses. The last four cases cited above has been turned down for the November term of the court. The defendants appear not serious at all; they are as some of them expressed it, trusting to get even with the jury. The state prosecutor appears to be not much concerned in these very important cases of the Government which places the international reputation of Liberia in the balance.

Don't wait until the last week to make up your mind to enter. Mr. Scurlock can only take care of a limited number at a time, so if you wait until the last, you may find so many ahead of you that you will not be able to get your picture free. No mother need feel the least fear in permitting her daughter to enter. The chaperone for which expenses are also provided, is to be selected by "Miss Washington," herself, and will therefore provide all the necessary safeguards any parent or guardian could desire. The officials of Howard University have consented to permit the girls residing in the university dormitories to enter the contest.

LUWIN CO., MOVES TO LARGER QUARTERS The Luwin Carpet Cleaning Company has moved from its former location on 14th Street to the rear of 1414 V Street, northwest. This move was made necessary by the rapidly increasing business of this firm. The Luwin Company opened for business about three years ago with two electrical cleaning machines and two men. It has now increased its force to five persons, as well as having increased its equipment. The building into which the company has moved is a large two-story one with about 6,000 square feet of floor space, which gives ample room for office, operating rooms and storage; therefore, increasing the production of the plant. W. H. Montague is president and general manager of the Luwin company and has built the business to its present propositions. Mrs. Montague has been added to the office force and is proving a valuable asset to the business. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1923 MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams THINGS PARENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MUSIC SCHOOLS By R. D. Carlton Dorsey Notwithstanding the fact that the Musical Schools of the District of Columbia open around the 17th of September, it is well toward November or December before students, in music really begin to study, and then some only for three months. When the public schools open parents have their children ready on the first day. Why not in music? Would you start your children to school around the first of the year and expect them to make the same amount of progress that children make in ten months and yours only going seven months? No! of course not. Many parents do not think of music in that particular way. "Oh," some say "I want Mary or John to study music, but a few months does not make any difference." Here is what has been discovered about students at Columbia University: Students who study music make quicker progress and have better marks than those who do not. Now for the reason: First—you learn to concentrate: second—Music gives you a concentration that you cannot derive from other studies because you cannot do it in a half way manner; third. You have to use your eyes, head and hands, and then in playing you have to count. The muscles play a great part in obeying the impulse of the brain, but that isn't done in a day, hence the teacher needs the assistance of the Columbia Co Mu 1911 9th Mary Mary CLARA ROMA Colorature Lyric Soprano CLARA ROMA Colorature Lyric Soprano nbia Conservat Music Columbia Conservatory of Music 1911 9th Street, N.W.

The hardest part in teaching is to teach the pupil to think musically, the easiest part is to teach him to play. You may know the fellow who thinks and the fellow who thinks he knows, but show me the fellow who knows he thinks and I will show you the fellow who knows. What part in your life does the spirit of music play? When you go to church you hear a good sermon; if the music is poor do you enjoy the whole service? No. But on the whole if you hear a good solo, or choir selection rendered with feeling, does it not make an impression which is not easily erased from your memory? For the sake of the pleasure you and your friends get out of music, why not make a sacrifice, and help make Washington a great music center and not have such a late start in the real musical schools of the District the real musical schools of the District—foster the talent which is within the District. If you will look around and compare you are bound to notice that the other race outdistances the colored race in music. Simply because they start Won time and finish on time. Around the first of September the schools are in full swing. The prices for instruction in the colored schools are much cheaper than in the white, and the teachers go thru the same preparations, yet there are many in- stances where they (colored students) will go to white teachers and pay more money for their lessons and then come back to you because they THE NEW YORK TIMES Conservatory of Music Street, N.W.

And experience is the best teacher in life. It does not pay to pay twice for the same thing. An investment put in the head you cannot lose on. Just stop and think what would you do without music. What would take its place? Would you not feel lost without music? (Mr. Dorsey's article is timely. We have maintained all along that colored folk as a whole do not value music as intrinsic or accept it seriously as one of the fundamentals of culture. They do not and will not seemingly send their children to music schools as readily as to the day schools. Neigence is almost an art among our people in most things that count, and music is among them. They would sacrifice money to purchase fine apparel and make out-of-town trips, many times to their detriment, but not once sacrifice for culture. A growing minority however, are awakening to the great opportunities at hand, while the decreasing majority are still sleeping in the quagmire of unpreparedness. Many parents even believe that their children are unable to go to day school and also study music successfully. They'll learn better gradually perhaps to not cheat themselves or their offspring so peniously. We take this opportunity also to encourage the writing of more music articles by the local music fraternity because this column is conducted in the interest and for the advancement of music for the profession and the music loving public.

The comforts of a warm drawing room on the trip South did much to revive Connie's flagging spirits. Much clation was felt over the feat of diverting a stream over a cliff in reproducing Niagara Falls. Some of the sharpest suspense in "Lulcy" is centered on the scenes at the falls. To secure the effect the stream was dammed and turned from its course temporarily. The groundwork for this spectacular effect was laid by a staff of engineers sent to prepare the ground in advance of the players. "Dulcy" was produced by Joseph M.

Heavy rains delayed work on the picture somewhat.

Constance suffered much discomfort from exposure to the storms. The spot prepared for the filming was far-removed from the settled habitation, and was reached after a long journey over broken trails on mule-back.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Having recently seen Mr. Micheaux's film at one of our local theatres. I feel moved to make this comment. While the plot of the "Virgin of Seminole" is a fairly good one, the far fetched, at times—the continuity is bungled. Why does the heroine go a thousand miles to her lover's home to wed him rather than have her lover come to her? The actors take their parts well but there is a lack of spontaneity that can not really be changed against them, as it is evidently the fault of the director whose business it is to make the thing "go", but he fails to do it, and the plot calls for plenty of pep. As some time has passed since we first saw a Micheaux film we naturally looked for improvements, but there is the same old drag. One wonders who wrote the insets. They are impossible, when not ridicu lous. I suggest that they be censored and rewritten.

The large audience seemed to feel the same way, for absurd as some of them were, no one laughed; it was pathetic, the lack of technique—the awkward poses, and the facial distortions which meant doubtless to register hate, fear, etc. Is it necessary for our women to call each other "Yellow hussies" in the race films? In the latter part of the picture, why does the "lady villain" tear down her mop of hair, unless it is to make herself more hideous. In our latter day films the "villainess" is always an attractive woman, sweet looking, and passive. Our race films differ in this respect. One sees so many exquisitely mounted films today that one can not help feeling sad over the shortcomings of our race productions. Can they not be improved? M. B. ALBERT, 1951 3rd St., N.W.

He has paused in his work of shining a boot which is "on" his left hand and arm; the shoe-brush is held in the other hand. His breeches are much patched in a crude fashion. Over the box (cupboard) beside which he stands, one bare foot hangs in reach of a small boy sitting on the ground in front of the box. The boy has put aside a well-thumbed book and is in the act of tickling "Uncle Ned's" dangling foot. All the figures are carefully and sympathetically studied. The young woman especially is a fine characterization—a young miss who, notwithstanding her very plain frock and her bare feet and ankles, has dignity, composure, and self-reliance—the poise which grows out of, and which accompanies, intellectual training. no opportunity, no lea the dull, un-responsive m ing itself in the be-fogged look.

Where is the school? Is it in, or on, or beside, the ramshackle box-cup-board? or, must we imagine it to be nearby the imaginary cabin or cabins, to which the cup-board and perhaps "Uncle Ned" and the others belong? "Oh!" it will be said impatiently, "It is not neces- This, of course is a mark of Christianity. But Christianity ceases to be worth even a slight notice when hypocryc steps in and is recognized. Hypocrys is the meanest sort of so-called Christians, but the world is jammed full of them. And it seems that from their refusal to admit a colored mother, Mrs. Effie Ware, to be treated when she was almost at the point of death, the physicians at Providence Hospital, committed an inhuman act which would cause even the Devil—to say nothing of a saint, to hang his head in shame. I'm very much afraid that the Devil is going to get some of these folks. Not very long ago a colored woman was refused treatment at the Sibley Hospital. Her case, too, was one that needed immediate attention, and in this hospital it seems that anybody or anything may receive attention except the white folks' best friends—the colored people. Soon after the colored patient was refused treatment at Sibley Hospital, a little dog's leg was broken by an automobile. The dog was taken into this hospital and treated. It later became the favorite pet at this merciful By MORRIS MURRAY book, by permission of author) sary to draw the matter so fine. Rogers simply means that 'Uncle Ned' is being taught; so in a sense is going to school: that's all." But is that all? Who is teaching "Uncle Ned"? Is it not probable that his teacher is more advanced than he is? Look at her countenance. Is it not illumined by a developed mind which shines through it. In short, can we not see that we have here a "story"—an idealized story—reaching backward and forward as well? "Uncle Ned," grown to maturity before the War.— OL, group, Rogers, sculptor no opportunity, no learning—hence the dull, un-responsive mind, disclosing itself in the be-fogged, discomfited look. He knows just enough to black boots, and old age is creeping on him; but—passing strange; the marvel of mankind—he desires to learn; nay more, he strives to begin learning, and, book-learning, at that. He must be lacking in thrift—why "don't" he hurry through that shine and try to get another? He might be "accumulating" even now, and also be giving the young folks a lesson in thrift. But he pauses in his work to make another try at that book. Is he really trying, or is he simply looking perfunctorily or complaisantly? Note the tension in his attitude, while the serene young miss smiles with sympathetic gravity as she awaits the slow working of the unpracticed brain. She is barefoot, and is cheaply, if neatly, dressed. But no matter; she has been attending school—a public, school no doubt. Probably the school was started by a Yankee "enthusiast," but it is now most likely supported far better by public taxation: this, under the new state constitution and laws, made by men who have begun the building of the New South, supported by the labor and the votes of a million "Uncle Neds." Then, too, we have here what's known as the Humane Society. If any of the (white) members see anyone treating a dog, a horse, or a cat, or anything in a cruel manner, they will haul that person before the judge where a fine must be paid for the cruel offense. But do what you will or may to a colored person and they will see—but don't see. It seems to me that hell, with all its fury, is not sufficiently hot to give some hypocrits what they really deserve. ORGANIZE PARENTS-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION AT RANDALL SCHOOL Organization of a parent-teacher association was effected at the Randall Junior High School this week, Dr. Benjamin F. Hailstorks being elected head of the new body. Proposals were made by officers of various parent-teacher bodies that a merger be made into one big organization. It was the consensus of opinion, after discussion, that the seating of J. C. CUNNINGHAM. Rogers' unquenchable humor must have expression, of course. Perhaps I may be permitted a digression here to say that humor, real humor,—humor, such as Rogers displays—is far above the merely funny or ridiculous or satirical. It is indeed a rare and precious gift. Carlyle says of true humor: It is a sort of inverse sublimity; exalting, as it were, into our affections what is below us, while sublimity draws down into our affections what is above us. The former is scarcely less precious than the latter; perhaps it is still rarer, and, as a test of genius, still more decisive. If that be the function of true humor, those who choose may regard this entire group as humorous; I shall not take issue. But I was saying: Rogers' humor must have expression, so we have here the irrepressible and mischief-loving urechin, who inhabits every land and infests every temple of worship and of learning, and every cabin's sunny side. He is black here, of course. But he, too, has a book. Its condition indicates that it has been used, although he has put it aside for the moment. I am glad that it is a book, even if it is not in use just at present. I am glad that he has not been merely "training" with a hoe or a handsaw. I'm glad that the serene young miss does not appear to notice the "practical" needs of "Uncle Ned," and insist on applying some "domestic science" to his crudely patched trousers. Apparently her draughts from the Pierian spring have not been diluted with that sort of "science." Very likely, too, her un-thrift—her devotion to the acquirement of knowledge—has kept her from owning even a brass thimble. It is not a serious lack. She can borrow one perhaps if she needs it badly. Very probably "Uncle Ned" has one which he would gladly exchange for a bare pinch of her understanding. I am very glad that the early "enthusiasts" started us right—with books. It will not be their fault, and not wholly ours, if we are pushed off or inveigled off, the right track now. These people knew, and I believe that Rogers knew also, that advancement is easy and sure—to and with the hoe and the handsaw and the thimble—from the book foundation, but extremely difficult, slow, and precarious the other way. Look at the group again. "Uncle Ned" strains his muscles, his nerves are in tension, his forehead wrinkles, his thick lips pucker; but he just can't—. Notwithstanding the evident thickness of the integument, it is possible that the tickling of his foot disconcerts him a little. What bearing, if any, that has on his perplexity, I shall leave for others to argue over. There is, however no mistaking the placid, smiling assurance of the girl who has been attending school—the Public's school, and therefore, "Uncle Ned's School." Maybe, after all, we are not justified in holding that we have here a "book" in the "Epic of Freedom." Well, let us concede a little; let it be an Idyl. Then, following Rogers' usual plan of double or alternating names, we will re-name the group "Uncle Ned's School or The First Fruits of Reconstruction." But let us admit and remember—and remember with thankfulness—that Rogers made his chief appeal to those whom we call the "common people"; of whom I am pleased and proud to regard myself as one. In an article in the New England Magazine (Feb., 1896), William Ord-delegates from other organizations interested in education would be the better plan. The meeting was addressed by Garnet C. Wilkerson, assistant superintendent, and principal C. Smith Wormley, after the invocation by Reverend Aquilla Sayles of Provident Baptist Church. Principal Wormley was introduced to parents by Miss N. E. Boyd. He explained the junior high school organization and educational methods, laying special emphasis upon the advantages offered that were peculiar to the junior high school system, not only educationally, but socially and economically as well. He was followed in his remarks by a large number of enthusiastic parents and citizens of the community, including Reverned Scott, Miss Lillian Robinson, Richard Brooks, Rev. James, Attorney C. W. Tignor, Edward White, Miss Lola LeBrandt, Mrs. J. E. Darmon, and Harry Colding. Officers elected were Dr. B. F. Hallstorks, president; Mrs. Frances Ellis, vicepresident; Mrs. Susi e Addelle, secretary; Miss Lillian Roberson, treasur; and Lieut. Pter Robinson, delegate to NEGRO HISTORY Some Worthy Letters Dear Editor: The picture in Negro History is that of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor who was born in London, August 15, 1875. Samuel was the son of a doctor. His father was born in Sierra Leone, Africa, and his mother was English. Samuel loved music, and at the age of six he began the study of the violin. He became the pupil of the famous Villera Stanford, at the Royal College of Music when he was sixteen years old. SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR JUAN CALIFORNIA Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Musician, and composer of high grade music. Born in London, August 15, 1875. Died in London, Later in life he wrote many beautiful musical compositions. Some of them were: "Hiawatha," "Herod," "Ulysses," "Nero," and "A Tale of Old Japan." Samuel Coleridge-Taylor died in London, September 1, 1912. A book has been written about his life. It is called "Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, His Life and Letters." I got this information from the "Negro Year Book" by Monroe N. Work. My father bought me a copy from Townsley's Book Store after I told him about your recommending it on the "Children's Page." I hope that this letter pleases you. EUNICE R. DIGGS (16) setting of the great poem by Longfellow, "Hiawatha" to music as a cantata. It includes "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," "Hiawatha's Departure," and "The Death of Minnehaha." Other great works such as the oratorio, "Atonement," his "Ballade in A minor," and "Symphony in A minor," have placed him among the master musicians and composers of the world. He has visited America several times and conducted performances of the best white choral societies and orchestras in England. Though dying early, he has left many works that will immortalize his name. RAYMOND TAYLOR (15) Dear Editor: My name is Raymond Taylor. I am 15 years old; and I live at 619 C Street, Southeast. I am a second year pupil of Armstrnog High School. Mother's illness has kept me way Partridge quotes the following lines from James Russell Lowell as applicable to John Rogers: It may be glorious to write Thoughts that shall glad the two or three High souls, like those far stars that come in sight One single word, which now and then Shall wake their free nature in the weak And friendless souls of men. And so, John Rogers, the "People's Sculptor," is not without honor and regard in his town country; and he has these nowhere more than in the grateful hearts of his Emancipated fellow-countrymen.

POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES TO BE GIVEN SQUARE DEAL That the officials of the Railway Mail Service are sincere in their desire that the Negro clerks in the service be given a square deal is shown in the following memorandum which was recently issued from the office of the Second Assistant Post Master General in charge of that service. The letter follows: It has come to my notice several times, from sources which are so reliable that I am sure there must be some foundation to the story, that the Chief Clerk is very prejudiced in his actions against colored postal employees. There must be nothing like this in the service. I wish you would have Mr. ____ informed that colored people and white people have equal rights in this service and that he must wipe out of his administration of that particular chief clerk's district any personal prejudices that he might have on this subject. I think this should be passed on to from previously writing, but from now on you shall hear from me. The halftone on the "Children's Page" of the Tribune of October 6, is a likeness of the great Negro mucusian and composer, S. Coleridge Taylor. He was born in London, August 15, 1875. His father was an African and a native of Sierra Leone. While studying the violin at the Royal College of Music, Coleridge won a scholarship in composition. After spending many years at serious and hard study, covering all important branches of the musical art, his ability and originality began to attract attention from the world's best musicians and composers. But the one distinctive work that placed him in public favor, as a composer, was the setting of the great poem by Long-fellow, "Hiawatha" to music as a cantata. It includes "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," "Hiawatha's Departure," and "The Death of Minnehaha." Other great works such as the oratorio, "Atonement," his "Ballade in A minor," and "Symphony in A minor," have placed him among the master musicians and composers of the world. He has visited America several times and conducted performances of the best white choral societies and orchestras in England. Though dying early, he has left many works that will immortalize his name. RAYMOND TAYLOR (15) Dear Editor: I have been reading your page for some time and I find it very interesting. I have at last decided to joint it. I go to Dunbair High School and I am in my junior year. I am sending in some answers to the puzzles and a short composition on Coleridge Taylor. He was born in London, England. His mother was English and his father was an African physician. He set Longfellow's famous poem "Hiawatha" to music. The "Atonement" made him famous.

Tribune's Selection of All-Alexandria Baseball Teams In last week's issue of the Washington Tribune, the sporting editors of this paper promised the Alexandria readers their selection of an All-Alexandria baseball team. This task has caused them considerable thought and reviewing of the various players. Most of the players of the teams (All-Stars, Lafayettes, and Lafayette Juniors, have shown up so well that two teams were picked, a first and second, respectively. Readers must bear in mind that all phases of the player's ability have been considered, i.e., fielding, batting, base running and baseball strategy. The All-Alexandria Baseball teams are so follows: First Team A.Beckham (A.S.)...1st base C. Green (L.)...2nd base E. Richardson (A.S.)...short stop Melvin Skelton (A.S.)...third base B. Fairbanks (LJr.)...left field R. Russell (L)...center field "Plut" Lee (L.)...right field J. Harris (L.)...pitcher T. Jones (A.S.)...catcher J. Finley (LJr.)...utility Martin (LJr.) .....1st base P. Felton (L.) .....2nd base E. Lloyd (L.) .....third base Stokes (LJr.) .....3rd base G. Brooks (L.) .....left field Dean (L.) .....center field B. Craig (A.S.) .....right field B. Beckham (A.S.) .....pitcher Wright (L.) .....catcher W. Jackson (A.S.) .....utility (Note—A.S.—All Star; L—Lafayette; LJr—Lafayete Junior. In reference to "utility," we have considered men of versatility only.) HOWARD STRENGTHENS FACULTY At the end of the first school week of the new school year, Howard University finds its dormitories crowded and its classrooms filled with hundreds of eager students. With registrstation not yet complete there have been enrolled in the college department alone 1084 students, which total is in excess of the full-number of students registered in the college department for the past year. From all indications the additional students which will be enrolled for the Winter and Sprig quarters the number of students to be registered in the The Washington Tribune college department alone at the University for the entire year will easily approach more than 1200 students. The number of students registered in the School of Medicine and the School of Law has not yet been ascertained as registration in these departments will not be complete until October 10th. When these enrollment figures are secured the total number of students in the University will exceed the number 2054 which was the enrollment total for last year. To keep pace with the growing student body and the high educational standards which the University has set for itself there are continually added new members to the Howard University Faculty. For this year the following additions have been made: Jason C. Grant, Instructor in English, B.A., Virginia Union University, 1915, M.A., University of Chicago, 1920, four years professor of English in Wiley University. Roscoe I. McKinney, Instructor in Zoology, A.B., Bates College, 1921, two years Instructor of Biology at Morehouse College. Miss R. Arliner Young, Instructor in Zoology, A.B., Howard University, 1923. Miss Helen M. Wheatland, Instructor in Romance Languages, A.B., Wellesley College, 1923. John H. Burr, Jr., Assistant Director in Physical Education and Coach in Baseball and Basketball, P.P.E., Springfield, College, 1923. Frank Coleman, Associate Professor in Physics, B.S., Howard University, 1913, S.M., University of Chicago, 1922, Teacher in Public Schools of Washington. Miss Madeline R. Wand, Instructor in Domestic Arts, Graduate Pratt Institute, 1920, Teacher at Wilberforce University, 1921, Teacher at McCall Industrial School, Cincinnati, 1922-23.

Scott, Instructor in the School of Religion formerly Chaplain of the 24th Infantry, U.S. Army, serving with this organization during its stay in the Phillipines. Provision for the physical expansion of Howard University, as well as for the strengthening of the teaching force, are being made so that the University may be provided with facilities properly to train its growing student body. In addition to the erection of a new gymnasium to include assembly hall and armory, together with athletic and drill fields at a cost of $197,500, $40,000 of which has already been provided by Congress and the remainder authorized, there is being requested by the University through the Secretary of the Interior an appropriation of $500,000 for Medical buildings and equipment. DEMOCRATS PLAN FIGHT ON COHEN According to Cole E. Morgan, correspondent to the Universal Service, the Democratic leaders are now planning to wage a fight to a finish against the confirmation of the appointment of Walter I. Cohen of New Orleans, who was appointed collector of the port at New Orleans by the late President Harding. When Cohen's name was first sent DO YOU KNOW That Board's Drug Store is the ONE drug store on 14th Street that welcomes and appreciates your trade in every department—the Soda FOUNTAIN, as well as the medicine counter? Bring all your prescriptions here where you get the purest of drugs and the greatest of care, supported by the best knowledge and good long experience. These are the things that count, and unless you get them you get less than the best and less than the doctor expects. It is cheaper in the end to get good medicines properly put together than to go shopping for uncertain values. Board's Drug Store 19121/2 14th Street, N.W. Tel. North 2221 to the Senate for confirmation it was rejected. When the Senate met in regular session last Fall, his name was again sent to that body and because of the objection of Senator Broussard of Louisiana, Was again turned down. After the Senate adjourned last March, President Harding gave Cohen a recess appointment. He is now serving under this appointment but his name must again go to the Senate. What the outcome of this fight will be cannot now be determined. However, it is believed that President Coolidge will send Cohen's name to the Senate although he was a Harding appointee. Under the present system the President could substitute another name. HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW A preliminary statement covering the registration at the Howard University School of Law for the first ten days discloses some interesting facts. So far the senior class numbers 32. Of 38 who were sophomores last year and 'should be' seniors now, eight have not as yet returned. There are so far 46 juniors and eight unclassified students. The junior class, however, promises to be one of the largest in recent years. This prediction rests upon the fact that a large number of applications are still pending, while in a number of other cases where permits to register have already been issued the prospects have not yet been heard from. Applications are still coming, the latest mail having brought one from Pueblo, Colorado and one from Atlanta, Georgia. "The registration to date," says Secretary Waters, "disclosed three important facts: first that the acid test in legal education is not deferred, but is applied at once in the first year. The second and third points of emphasis are the large increase in the percentage of college men who have registered this year and the realization reflected from all quarters that the old time easy road to a degree in law has been permanently closed to traffic. "The latest bar reports show three Howard men admitted in the District of Columbia, two in New Jersey and three in Maryland. One man in this year's class while awaiting the graduation on June 8th, slipped over into Ohio and without any preparation at all scored 71.7 per cent out of a required 75 per cent. "With an enlarged faculty, a new curriculum second to none anywhere and more than a thousand additions to the library, the School of Law moves on next year to the requirement of two years of standard college work for admission, thus actually setting the pace one year ahead of the Association of American Law Schools."
