HOWARD 6 LINCOLN 6
LARGE CROWD WITNESSES HOWARD AND LINCOLN BATTLE TO A TIE SCORE
Game was one of Most Thrilling Spectacles of Football Seen in Many a Year
First in Local Circulation.

HOW
LARGE CROWD W
HOWARD AN
BATTLE TO
Game was one of Mos
of Football Seen
By H. Scott
Before the biggest assembly of Race folk ever gathered together, the Lion from the cultured hills of Lincoln, Pennsylvania, met the Bison from the capital of the nation and engaged in four fifteen-minute quarters of as thrilling, nerve-racking, sensational and scintillating brand of football as will ever again be witnessed; and yet after the roaring Lion had clawed and fought the goring, onrush of the undefeated Bison, the game ended with the issue still undecided and both elevens deadlocked 6 to 6.
Over 11,000 paid to see the classic. Over 3,000 crashed their way through the gates, without paying, which means that in excess of 15,000 saw the game.
"Jazz" Byrd by virtue of his 84-yard run, which paved the way for his team's only score, again took the hero role. Captain Johnson was good on both defense and offense. Lancaster gave the best exhibition of end playing seen in recent years. Pointdexter and Coston, time and again threw Bisons for losses. Brown plowed the line as never before and Morgan was at his best.
Only in the first period did Howard outplay Lincoln. The latter had all the best of the final period.
For Howard, Captain Doneghy was great. Contee's grabbing of a pass led up to the locals score. Doakes, Smith and Anderson fought the more seasoned Lion linemen to a standstill. Peyton time and again added yardage. It was a great battle between two great teams.
The Game Play By Play
Captain Johnson won the toss for Lincoln and selected the north goal. Crudop kicked off to Doneghy who returned the kick 18 yards to the 31-yard line. Doneghy made a first down around left end. Peyton added 6 yards and Contee got 5 more off tackle. Lincoln held and Doneghy attempted a field goal standing on the 45-yard line. The ball fell short into Crudop's arms on Lincoln's 25-yard line. Byrd dashed around left end for 6 yards. Howard was penalized 15 yards for roughing. Howard held and Lee punted over goal line. Howard's ball on own 20-yard line. Poindexter broke through and nailed Doneghy for a loss. Peyton hit left tackle for 5 yards. Lincoln penalized 15 yards for holding. Coston got Doneghy twice in succession. Doneghy kicked 45 yards to Byrd who went back 5 yards. Lincoln penalized 15 yards for roughing. Lee punted 35 yards to Blackman. An offside Lincoln penalty gave Howard a first down on Lincoln's 29-yard line. Doneghy made another first down. Crudop and Brown broke through and stopped the Howard captain for a 5-yard loss.
Melton took Peyton's place in the Howard backfield. After Doneghy had failed to gain on two plays, a fake play from place-kick formation resulted in a 15-yard gain on a pass from Doneghy to Contee which brought the ball to Lincoln's 6-yard line. Melton failed to gain, but Doneghy hit right guard for a touchdown. The Howard cheering section went wild. On the "try" for point, Doneghy's dropkick fell short. On the kickoff, Doneghy booted the ball to Byrd who received it on his 5-yard line. Guarded by a perfect formation of the Lions, Byrd started on his way down the field, shaking and dodging tacklers. Nearing midfield the Lincoln "flash" appeared to have a clear field but Doneghy

Phil Brown, Noted Politician, Dies at His Home
Phil H. Brown, Conciliator of the Labor Department, from Hopkinsville, Ky., died suddenly, from heart failure, at his home, 1236 Riggs St., N.W., at three o'clock Friday morning. He was born in Ironton, Ohio, December 5, 1871, while young he learned the printer's trade. He moved to Hopkinsville, Ky., where he ran a newspaper for a number of years. He was a delegate-at-large to the National Republican Convention in Chicago, in 1920, when Warren G. Harding was nominated for President. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Dolly R. Brown, who was with him at the time of his death. His remains will be shipped to Hopkisville, Ky., for interment.
brought him down on Howard's 11-yard line, having covered 84 yards. Lincoln called "time-out" while the stands went into a frenzy. It was a brilliant bit of open field running and almost a duplicate of this same Byrd's memorable dash of 1922. Brown hit off left guard for 15 yards.
Starting the second period, Goodman made it a first down on a delayed buck through center. Byrd crashed through center to tie the score. Crudop's attempt at a place kick for the extra point went wide by a foot. Many spectators thought the "try" went over. Melton received the kick-off, and went back 20 yards. Lancaster was seen to smear two Howard plays. Doneghy and Crudop engaged in a punting duel with the latter gaining the advantage. Lincoln attempted a pass in midfield which was intercepted by Blackman on Howard's 24-yard line. Howard suffered a 15-yard penalty on the next play for holding. The half ended with the ball in Howard's possession. Score, Howard 6, Lincoln 6.
Rabble Take Field
Between the halves the rabbles of both Lincoln and Howard promenaded before the throng. "Miss Washington" came out and received a noisy reception from the local rooters while the cameras clicked and the movie machines registered their approval.
Third Period
Lancaster raced the kick-off back (Continued on page 3)
St. Paul Scores Three Points in Defeating
St. Paul Scores Three Points in Defeating
St. Paul defeated Shaw in a 'hrilling football game by a score of 3 to 0. Walker, St. Paul's flashy left halfback kicked goal from placement from the 30-yard line in the second period. In line plunging, punting and generalship, Parker, St. Paul's captain, excelled. St. Paul made 12 first downs to Shaw's 4. St. Paul's shifts and long passes featured while Shaw's end runs were spectacular. Mitchell, Bright, Gill, and Capt. Stewart were Shaw's outstanding players. The game was clearly fought and witnessed by at least three thousand persons. Officials: Referee, Pinn, Hampton; Umpire, Elder, Atlanta; Head linesman, Oxley, Harvard.

WINNER OF TRIBUNE'S BEAUTY CONTEST ACCLAIMED BY BIG CROWDS IN QUAKER CITY
WINNER OF TRIBUNE'S BEAUTY CONTEST ACCLAIMED BY BIG CROWDS IN QUAKER CITY
Philadelphia, Pa.—"Miss Washington" nee Miss Thelma Hamilton, of 2311 H St., N.W., Washington, D. C, winner of The Washington Tribune's beauty contest, arrived here amid the cheers of thousands and the playing of Howard University Band. The big Quaker City was all in readiness for the big game when the special rolled in from the Nation's Capital. Arriving in Philadelphia, "Miss Washington" was rushed to The Roadside Hotel where she dressed and had lunch. After lunch she was motored to the Philadelphia National League Ball Park where Howard and Lincoln were supposed to settle their little annual argument. Despite the vociferous cheering of "Miss Washington" Howard punched Lincoln in the jaw once and received a punch in return making it even. She then spent the rest of the afternoon looking at the monstrous crowd that packed the park.
The program arranged for "Miss Washington" before the game, had to be called off because the Howard University R. O. T. C. Band failed to reach the game on time, arriving piecemeal until the first half was near over. However, between the halves, she made her formal appearance on the field at the head of the Howard cheering column.
So thick was the rabble on the field and so anxious were most of them to get near to "Miss Washington," that it was with great difficulty that the cameramen were able to photograph her.
After the game, 'Miss Washington' visited The Roadside, The Attucks and Scott's hotels. Later in the evening she attended the recital by Ford Dabney, at the famous Academy of Music. The recital was one of the finest in the history of Philadelphia.
After gliding over the crystal floor to her heart's content, "Miss Washington" visited the Student Reception and Dance at the New Armory.
Wherever "Miss Washington" journeyed, she was eagerly sought out by the crowd. The day was well filled with activities and when the time came to board Joe Maxwell's special train for home, "Miss Washington" wrote in her life's diary the events of a day long to be remembered.
On the whole trip "Miss Washington" was accompanied by her mother, who acted as chaperon.
The whole trip was given "Miss Washington" absolutely free to her by The Washington Tribune.

Through the whole gruelling program of the day, "Miss Washington" played her part well. The throng of newspapermen at The Roaside, gave her a very cordial reception. "Miss Washington" not only played her part charmingly, but looked the part as well.
For traveling she wore brown suede shoes, and hose; brown beaded dress; black hat and a white ermine coat. She carried a white staff with the Howard colors.
At the game she was nattily attired in a dress of black, trimmed with fur, and ermine coat. For the dance and reception she wore a lavender georgette evening dress with gold slippers. Washington was truly well represented by Miss Hamilton.
Back in the dear old capital city, "Miss Washington's" program still has two more days to run. Saturday night she will be special guest at The Beaux Arts dance at Murray Casino; Sunday evening with a party of four she will be dinner guest at Thurston's Cafe, 9th Street, Northwest.

TEACHERS GREATLY INTERESTED IN NEW SALARY BILL CONG. DYER AND JAS. W. JOHNSON TO SPEAK HERE
In computing the cost of the salary schedule, recommended by the Legislative Committee of the Federated Committees of Teachers Unions, we have used the "Table showing number of teachers in the normal, high, junior high, vocational and elementary schools, and the special schools and departments, white and colored, together with the number of years of longevity allowance assigned to said teachers. (Prepared by the Office of Finance and Accounting on the basis of the pay roll certified November 29, 1922.)"
First we wish to express our gratitude to the Office of Finance and Accounting for this basic information. The information, however, did not make it possible to estimate, with accuracy, the annual turnover of the teaching force. Further, we were unable to determine the number of teachers, in classes 1 and 2 and 6a, who would be entitled to more than four or eight years' placement, in the recommended schedule. At present teachers of classes 1 and 2 receive longevity for four years, while teachers of class 6a receive longevity for eight years. Many of these teachers who receive four and eight years' longevity under the present schedule would receive higher placement under the recommended schedule.
To provide for these conditions (the (Continued on page 3)

Gorgeous Gowns Worn at Jackson-Robinson Wedding
Gorgeous Gowns Worn at Jackson-Robinson Wedding
New York City—(Special)—The elaborate wedding ceremony that united Miss Mae Walker Robinson, granddaughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, to Dr. Gordon Henry Jackson of Chicago, drew such a throng to St. Phillip's Episcopal Church, 134th Street near Seventh Avenue, Iast Saturday, that police protection alone prevented disorder.
The manner in which the special police detail handled the crowds was rewarded by a new banknote to each uniformed and plain clothes man assigned to the wedding. Nine thousand invitations had been issued and nearly all the people of Harlem, it seemed, attended or tried to.
The Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's, officiated, assisted by the Rev. Shelton Bishop, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pa. The church was thronged, some of the guests having come from as far away as Los Angeles. Outside throngs lined 134th Street from Seventh to Eighth Avenue on both sides.
The bride's gown
The bride's dress was of white chiffon adorned with an all over design of genuine imported tea pearls over bride's satin with a tulle veil attached to an Egyptian head dress purchased by her mother on a recent trip to the Holy Land, caught with orange blossoms and which gracefully fell to form a ten foot train. She wore brocaded silver slippers, no jewelry save a diamond brooch the gift of the groom. She carried a large bouquet of bride's roses showered with ribbons and lilies of the valley.
F. B. Ransom of Indianapolis, who has charge of the late Mme. Walker's business, gave the bride away. Mrs. Norman Harris of Washington, matron of honor, wore a silver cloth gown and a chiffon hat. Consulco Street of Indianapolis, maid of honor, wore cream colored Chantilly lace over a gown of silver cloth.
The bridesmaids, similarly dressed, were Louise Jackson, Enice Hunton, Marion Moore and Mildred Randolph of this city and Anita Thompson of Los Angeles; A'Lelia Emma Ransom of Indiapapolis, Katherine Farnum Williams and Betty Payton of New York were flower girls.
Dr. Norwood Thorne, brother-in-law of the bridegroom, was best man. The ushers were Dr. Libert Lezana, Dr. New Chestnut, Dr. Waldo Alexander and Beadley Cyms of Chicago; Clarke L. Smith, Baltimore, and Henry Bucker, New York.
Gown of Gold Cloth
Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Wilson, the bride's mother, wore a gown of gold metallic cloth designed and made in Paris. The church was decorated profusely with palms, plants and caps smilax. Prof. Paul Bolin played the wedding march and other selections and a choir of forty male voices sang.
After the ceremony and wedding breakfast, a reception was held at Villa Lewaro at Irvington-on-Hudson the $250,000 country place purchased by the late Madam C. J. Walker, grandmother of the bride and present home of Madam A'Lelia Walker. The reception was remarkable for its notable

piano solo was rendered by Miss Flor-

Armstrong
The Red and Black of Dunbar stands out today as the Race scholastic champion of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Dunbar garnered the title at Griffith's Stadium on Monday, by administering to Armstrong about as severe a beating as ever the school suffered. Saunder's machine scored four touchdowns, followed by three "trys," for a total of 27 points to Tech's nothing. Through the season, Armstrong had defeated two strong Virginia elevens in Manassas Industrial and Notfolk "Hi," and piled up a greater total of points over Baltimore "Hi" than Dunbar did. The latter eleven had previously scaled Manassas, Roanoke and Bordentown. The season's records of both teams pointed more to a dead-locked contest than an overwhelming Armstrong defeat.
Two Dunbar scores came as the result of intercepted passes; another by a complete pass; and still another by rushes after an Armstrong fumble. Only in the third period were the Orange and Blue able to keep their goal line safe and untrampled.
The initial score came after a series of Dunbar rushes had advanced the ball over 50 yards to Tech's 27-yard line where Robinson hurled a beautiful pass which Foster snatched out of the air and raced 10 yards across the goal line.
Tech made its only threat in the second period. Allen, Honesty and Ellis slid off the tackles and around the ends for three first downs and brought the ball to Dunbar's 6-yard line. A forward in the end zone how-ever ended the march. Dunbar kicked out and when Ellis fumbled the punt in midfield Bryson picked up the ball and ran to Tech's 13-yard line before being brought down by Blue. The latter made a sensational 'diving tackle from behind.' After four rushes Kendall took the ball over.
Foster intercepted a Tech pass and ran 40 yards for the third touchdown. The final touchdown was made by Jackson who intercepted a pass and dashed 53 yards. Burton added three extra points by dropkicks.
Foster, Wright, Hall, and Brown sparkled in the Dunbar line which from end to end showed power and speed. The entire backfield displayed versatility. Blue was Tech's particular luminary. The Armstrong backfield carried poor interference and fumbled frequently which marred her attack. Captain Rollins of Dunbar, because of injuries, was unable to get into the game.

Union Defeats St. Paul Morehouse Outscores
By H. Scott
Richmond, Va., Nov. 24—On a gridiron well-scoured and made slippery and slow by a heavy overnight rain, Coach Harold Martin's Union Panthers removed a serious obstacle from their path to the Association championship by taking the strong St. Paul seven into camp here today by the score, 6 to 0. With but one game to be played, the Panthers are still unlefeated and stand in a class all alone by virtue of not having been scored upon this season.
The only score of the game was more of a gift than anything else and game in the third period after Union had received the ball well in St. Paul's territory as a result of a poor kick, which went outside on the visiting team's 32-yd line. After three fruitless attempts to advance the ball, the necessary ten yards, Derritt made his second attempt to score a place-sick. The kick, which was low and partially blocked by a St. Paul lineman, bounded past two St. Paul backs across the goal line and instead of falling on the ball for a touchback, Walker attempted to pick it up and instantly two Panthers; Smith and Merritt pounced on the ball for a touchdown. Derritt failed to add the extra point.
St. Paul opened the last period with a powerful off-tackle drive, made very effective by shift plays that sent two and three men at one. Three first downs were gained in rapid succession which carried the ball to Union's 6-yd. line. Here the Union defense stiffened, and aided by poor generalship on the part of St. Paul, received the ball on downs. Only one other time did either team threaten, that occurring during the first few minutes of play when St. Paul fumbled and Union recovered on the former's 25-yard line. Derritt missed a place kick from the 20-yard line.
Union presented a powerful trio—Miller, acting-captain Barksdale and Smith—in the center of the line. "Hank" Corrothers, a Washington boy, scintillated by grabbing a couple of passe sand checking a number of St. Paul rushes. Shields contributed most of Union's gains. Boffman and Fentress were good on defense. Walker was St. Paul's principal ground gainer. Parker hit the line with terrific force but was generally stopped before he could get going. The Lawrenceville tackles, Blackwell and Coleman, outplayed the local pair. The punting was unusually good, considering the heavy condition of the ball. Union excelled in the passing game.

Alabama
By L. Slater Baynes
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24—The Morehouse Tigers, playing a sterling brand of football, defeated the Alabama State's Yellow Jackets 25-0.
State Normal had a better team than the score indicates, but was unable to cope with the aerial offense of the Tigers. The Tigers completed 10 out of 18 passes, netting 141 yards.
State Normal started strong and carried the ball deep into the Tigers' territory. An attempted dropkick on the 12-yard line by the Yellow Jackets was blocked.
Coach Harvey sent the second string men in the second half. Their offense showed up better than that of the first team, netting 260 yards to the first teams 201 yards.
The entire Morehouse backfield starred, all playing a brilliant offensive game. The stars for State Normal were Morse, Underwood and Cooley.

ATLANTA 32—CLARK 0
The Atlanta University Crimson Hurricane scattered the grid machine of Clark University to the four corners of the earth when the two teams met in the annual clash Friday afternoon on the Atlanta University athletic field. The great superiority of the Crimson warriors in every phase of the game is shown by the fact that Clark was able to gain only thirty-five yards through the Hurricane defense during the entire game. However, the south Atlantians put up a rather stiff defense in the first half and the Atlanta U. Battlers were held to one touchdown in this period. Coach Aiker of Atlanta used his third stringers during a part of the
Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Baseball Clubs are scheduled to hold their second annual meeting, Saturday, December 8th, in Philadelphia. In the short existence of a single year, the Associatoin, with the advantage of being operated on a mutual basis and by men who have made history in Negro baseball in the East, has been warmly received by an appreciative public and a marked degree of contentment is evidenced among the players.
Having wiped clean the slate of all business relative to the past season at a prior meeting, the welfare of the organization for the coming year will be in order and "bigger and better" is the slogan of the governing board. All of the clubs that composed the circuit last season will be represented and the possibility of increasing the league to eight clubs will be considered. Already several applications for franchise have been submitted to the secretary, with Harrisburg and Washington conceded to have the edge.
Stronger clubs and "tougher sledding" for the winner of the 1924 bunting is assured by the fact that several of the clubs have signed up some of the brightest luminaries in colored baseball. Many of the league players are now playing in the Cuban Winter League.
WILEY 7, BISHOP 6
Marshall, Texas, Nov. 22—Wiley and Bishop, ancient rivals, fought desperately here today, the former winning, 7 to 6. King, Posey and Jermany played best for Bishop while Orange, Thomas and Owens gallantly held up the Wiley colors. Bishop scored on a series of play intermingled with a pass, Jermany going over from the 3-yard line. A forward pass, Orange to Hines, counted for Wiley. Orange drop-kicked the deciding point.

Boxing Union Strips Siki of Title
Paris, Nov. 18—Battling Siki, has been stripped of all his European titles by the International Boxing Union. This action was taken, it was explained, because Siki refused to accept Georges Carpentier's challenge. The union refused to recognize Carpentier's claim and declared the title open. The United States has been asked to designate the American contender for the world's light-heavyweight title before July 31, 1924, to meet the winner of a European elimination contest to be held April 30, 1924.

Roamers 7:
The Roamer A. C. of Alexandria, Va., downed the fast Stonewall Tigers of this city in a spectacular football lgame on last Sunday on the Monument lot before a large crowd.
Early in the first quarter the Virginians, by a series of line plunges carried the ball mid-field across the Stonewall's goal line. Walker the stalwart back, made the touchdown. Major kicked goal.
In the second quarter, the quarterback of the Stonewall team received a kick-off, that bounded back of her goal line, and made a miraculous 105-yard run for the home team's touchdown. Try for points failed.
From this point neither team scored. standing players for the Roamers. ers on the large end.
Stillards, Sheppard, Walker, Richardson and Jackson were the outstanding players for the oRamers. Tom Payne officiated creditably.
Hampton Athletes
Form Varsity Club
Hampton, Va., Nov. 17—After the Howard-Hampton game, former honor athletes of Hampton, representing all branches of sport, met in the school Museum and formed the "Hampton Institute Varsity Club" with the following officers: Paul V. Smith, 1909 of Lexington, Ky., president; Gideon E. Smith, 1910, of Hampton Institute, vice president; and Charles H. Williams, 1909, of Hampton Institute, secretary-treasurer. Committees were appointed to work out a constitution and to complete the work of organization.
Dr. Robert R. Moton, 1890, principal of Tuskegee Institute, gave the history of some of the early games and told of the difficulties of starting athletics at Hampton Institute.
Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, also congratulated the men on the organization of such a club and pledged their his support. Speeches were also made by many former Hampton staffs. Letters were read from many old timers.

BASEBALL IN CUBA
By Ben Taylor
Last week my readers were told the names of the clubs in the Cuban League, and that we were well represented on three of the clubs. In this article I will give the names of the many Colored stars who are helping to make baseball history on the isle of continual sunshine.
We will take them in the order they stand in the league race. Santa Clara has Marcelle, Brown and Holland of the Lincoln Giants; Warfield of the Hilldales; Duncan, Moore, Johnson, Currie and Mendez of the Kansas City Monarchs; and Rojo of the Baltimore Black Sox. Havana club has Lloyd, Thomas and Ryan of the Hilldales; Cooper and Wesley of Detroit Stars; and Egleton of the Washington Potomacs. Almendares has Hubbard and Flournoy of the Royal Giants. These men are the best on their respective clubs, and play with and against such big league stars as Luque of Cincinnati Reds, Acosta and Calvo at one time with the Washington American league club, and several other big minor league stars.
A purse of five hundred dollars has been offered to the leading batter in the League, with a similar prize for the leading pitcher. The club that wins the pennant will receive a handsome banner. Thus it will be seen that our boys have a chance to figure in the real money just across the Atlantic. Baseball is growing in popularity on the island, and the demand for good players will increase as long as they deliver the goods. We hope the attendance will be even greater, and that the players will realize the great responsibility that is theirs and will stay in condition, so they will be able to give the best that is in them at all times. We venture to say that if they are at their best they will have no trouble in holding their own with any of them.
Mack Eggleton of the Washington Potomac is playing rightfield for the Havana Reds. He seems to be making quite a rep, as an outfielder. Fans of this city will remember him as the Potomac's first string catcher last season. He writes that he likes the little Republic very much. Two things stand out: there is no colorphobia there, and he is making more money than he has ever made before. Keep it up Egg. The end is not yet.
The results of the last five games played from November 15 to November 21 are shown below.
[Note: The clubs composing the league are: Santa Clara, Havana, Almendares and Marianao. The Santa Clara club is composed almost entirely of Colored players from our two big leagues, with the Havana club running them a close second. Almendares has only two Race men, while the Marianao club is composed entirely of white players from the States and Cuba.]
Havana Cuba. November 18
Havana completely outclassed Almendares yesterday winning an uninteresting game, by the score of 11 to 4. Luque the Cincinnati star was in great shape, allowing eight scattered hits, while the Reds garnered 13 off Fabre. Batteries: Luque and Basschiff; Fabre and Fernandez.
Santa Clara Cuba. November 18
Mariano and Santa Clara divided two hard fought games here today. The first contest was won by Marianao 5 to 4. With the score tied in the tenth inning a single to center and the runner was sacrificed to second where he scored a moment later on the two bagger to right, of Dressons, of the American Association. The second game was a duplicate of the first one in so-far as fierceness is concerned. With the score 3 to 2 against them in the eighth, Santa Clara staged a great rally when Warfield doubled to center, Charleston walked. Dave Brown singled, scoring Warfield, Charleston taking third, where he stole home with the winning run as the pitcher made a long windup. Batteries: Deberry and Krueger, Currie and Roio.
Havana Cuba. November 20
Almendares turned the tables on Havana here yesterday, beating them by the lopsided score of 8 to 1. Oscar Levis for Havana, and Führ, staged a real pitchers' duel until Levis aviated in the 7th. A fusilade of hits from the Almendare' bats sent him scurrying to cover. Ryan and Cooper, in the order named, fared little better. Batteries: Führ and Fernandez; Levis, Ryan, Cooper and Bischiff.
Havana Cuba. November 21.
The Havana Reds were smothered under an avalanche of Marianoa hits yesterday. The Reds used up four hurlers in a vain attempt to stop the bombardment. Calvo was in the Havana lineup, being traded for Torrewho was in the lineup of the Marianoa club. Incidentally Torriente helped beat his old team mates by getting a double and single during his afternoon. The game ended with the score of 9 to 5. Batteries; Ryan, Ross, Cooper and Bishoff. Palmero,

New York City—The Fall Meeting of the Executive Board of the National Urban League was held at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, 130 East 22nd Street, New York City on Wednesday afternoon last. The budget of $47,835 was adopted for the year 1924, and new work was outlined for which it is hoped that money will be raised to bring the total of the year's expenses to $69,800.
Engene Kinckle Jones, the Executive Secretary, reported in part the following accomplishments for the past four months:
A survey of the Negro population of Waterbury, Conn., has been completed and is in the hands of a Committee of colored and white citizens
and baby in search of pleasure, and who finds herself helpless in the grasp of an unscrupulous man, Daniel Kenyon, her former employer. She is saved in the nick of time, but the rescue in itself leads to situations far more exciting.
The cast consists of Barbara Bedford, Walter Miller, Raymond Hatton, William P. Carleton, Robert Edson, Julia Swayne Gordon, Marion Swayne and Effie Shannon. Ber Goetz produced and Joseph Levering directed it.

Gay White Way Furnishes Background for Motion Picture
The shadiest side of New York's night life, as it takes place in flashy cabarets and cafes, is caught to the last touch in "The Tie That Binds," the drama announced by the Broadway Theatre management for a 3-day appearance here beginning Thursday December 6th.
This picture by Charles K. Harris, the song composer who wrote "Break, the News to Mother," "After the Ball," and other successes, was produced in New York city. Some of the scenes of the script called for cabaret night life when the fun is fast and furious, and a spirit of mad irresponsibility reigns. Instead of constructing these scenes in the studio, permission was obtained from a cabaret proprietor for the camera men to ensconce themselves in a corner behind palms and "shoot" whatever they wished. The characters in the picture had a table to themselves, although the pleasure-seekers were unconscious of the fact that they were being photographed for a picture.
"The Tie That Binds" is the story of Barbara Bedford, who leaves home

which has planned to put in operation the recommendations for improving the conditions exposed.
The Department of Research and Investigation is now conducting a similar survey of the Negroes of Buffalo, N. Y., the findings of which will be made the basis for practical social work in that city. Through the efforts of the League, six Negro organizations in Atlanta, Georgia were included in the Community Chest drive there, which has just completed. The local Atlanta Urban League is one of these organizations. The total amount to be received by the six agencies is $27,950.
The appreciation of the public for the publication of "Opportunity" (a magazine) eleven monthly issues of which have already appeared—indicates that it is filling a need not herefore met by any other publication. The largest universities in the country are subscribing and many of their departments of sociology are using it "Opportunity's" circulation is on the increase and many words of commendation are being received from educators, sociologists, social workers and publicists.
Mr. Jones reported on the progress of the "Fellows" of the League now being trained in three schools of social work and on efforts to stimulate new Urban Leagues in various cities; reorganization of the work in Richmond, Virginia where on December first an executive secretary begins work on an enlarged program; spreading of the League's ideal through lectures by the employed staff including J.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30—A notable feature of the Community Chest Campaign for $600,000 which was successfully conducted here last week was the active and generous cooperation of the colored people, who made 4261 subscriptions to the fund, aggregating $33,084. This sum about equals the total amount apportioned in the Chest Budget to the six participating Negro organizations, indicating that in Atlanta, at least, the colored population is reaching the point where it can care for its own philanthropies and need no longer entail a burden on the community in this regard.

THE COMING CONGRESS—WHAT?
are turned toward Washington and the open Congress. From all appearances this will bring up into next summer. There will be the legislative mill; but since the president on next year, there will be but little reason for the Roosevelt Administration, when George and congressional district of North Carolina the Negro had a representative in the U.S. The coming election next November will be for the race to have at least two representatives; there is no gainsaying the fact that a Negro is people than all of the supposed "friendly public party." The 150,000 Negroes who vote for Judge, in Chicago, should certain Congress from Congressman Madden's docket the race hope for recognition by any one to take an effort to obtain its rights? Very much in this country politically, by asking for it, "He who would be free, must first strike applicable to the Negro in America, polite women of this country have recently hated and a Senator in Congress and they are here. We have been sitting quietly by and white friends to cajole us into electing T. It is no one's fault but our own that lives in Congress. We have placed too the white man and listened to his oily tongue to nominate at least five Negroes for Congress next November. Madden of Chicago, Dyer of New York, Mudd of Maryland, should, Negroes, and a man in Philadelphia might. Most Congress the Republicans had a majority and 24 in the Senate. There were ninety percent the Negroes of the United States he passed. What will be the results from introduced by Congressman Layton, of D.C. Industrial Commission" should be real. Will 226, introduced by Congressman Anthony on the Secretary of War for information under sentence for participation in the House-introduced with an additional resolution to Spencer, of Missouri, introduced a bill to call Racial Relations that should have the attention of vital interest to the Negro, thus by our own representatives in Congress of the abominable jim crow car laws on the discontinuation of segregation as practiced friends in the various governmental department single government department in which segregation, although our "friends" are in full fulfilment will humiliate, segregate, and eliminate of government employment, wherein an enemy? Could your enemies do on Congress will be close in the voting street parties. In fact, a few men will hold the We should have four or five men there. The calls where five votes wield more than ordertional Race Congress, The Equal Rights organizations should devote their efforts thisination and election of five or six Negroes led fact that we are not going to get repressed unless we nominate and elect them. We can only. There must be an organized effort to and courage. The Uncle Toms and "pure day and failed. New blood, fresh brass drawn must enter the equation to produce would have a constant observer on duty at the policing the sayings and doings of individual re-election next November, so that the race was to the perfidy of many of its supposed abune shall be on the job and will do all it is enlightened on the 68th Congress.
All eyes are turned toward Washington and the opening of the new 68th Congress. From all appearances this will be a long session, lasting up into next summer. There will be much grist going into the legislative mill; but since the presidential campaign will be on next year, there will be but little returns therefrom.
Not since the Roosevelt Administration, when George H. White of the second congressional district of North Carolina was in the House, has the Negro had a representative in the United States Congress. The coming election next November will offer a big opportunity for the race to have at least two representatives in the House. There is no gainsaying the fact that a Negro can better represent his people than all of the supposed "friends" in the whole Republican party. The 150,000 Negroes who voted for Attorney Morris for Judge, in Chicago, should certainly nominate a Negro for Congress from Congressman Madden's district.
How can the race hope for recognition by any one when it will not even make an effort to obtain its rights? Very little is to be gained in this country politically, by asking for it. We must fight for it. "He who would be free, must first strike the blow," is indeed applicable to the Negro in America, politically and otherwise.
The white women of this country have recently had three Representatives and a Senator in Congress and they are preparing to elect more. We have been sitting quietly by and permitting our good white friends to cajole us into electing THEM to represent US. It is no one's fault but our own that we have no representatives in Congress. We have placed too much confidence in the white man and listened to his oily tongue too long. We should nominate at least five Negroes for Congress for the election next November. Madden of Chicago, Dyer of St. Louis, Ansorge of New York, Mudd of Maryland, should all be supplanted by Negroes, and a man in Philadelphia might be placed in nomination.
In the last Congress the Republicans had a majority of 165 in the House and 24 in the Senate. There were nineteen bills directly concerning the Negroes of the United States introduced, but not one passed. What will be the results from the 68th Congress?
The bill introduced by Congressman Layton, of Delaware, "To create a Negro Industrial Commission" should be re-introduced and passed.
House Bill 226, introduced by Congressman Anthony, of Kansas, "Calling on the Secretary of War for information in regard to soldiers under sentence for participation in the Houston Riot," should be re-introduced with an additional resolution pardoning them.
Senator Spencer, of Missouri, introduced a bill to create a Commission on Racial Relations that should have the attention of the 68th Congress.
Other matters of vital interest to the Negro, that could be championed by our own representatives in Congress, are the abolition of the abominable jim crow car laws on transportation lines, and discontinuation of segregation as practiced by our Republican friends in the various governmental departments. There is not a single government department in which segregation does not reign supreme, although our "friends" are in full charge. If your friends will humiliate, segregate, and eliminate you completely out of government employment, wherein are they any better than your enemies? Could your enemies do more?
The 68th Congress will be close in the voting strength of the two major parties. In fact, a few men will hold the balance of power. We should have four or five men there. There will be many roll calls where five votes wield more than ordinary power and respect.
The National Race Congress, The Equal Rights League and other organizations should devote their efforts this coming year to the nomination and election of five or six Negroes for Congress. It is a settled fact that we are not going to get representatives in Congress unless we nominate and elect them. We cannot do that haphazardly. There must be an organized effort by men of character and courage. The Uncle Toms and "pussyfooters" have had their day and failed. New blood, fresh brains and undaunted brawn must enter the equation to produce the desired results.
We should have a constant observer on duty at the 68th Congress, chronicling the sayings and doings of individuals who will be up for re-election next November, so that the race may be well informed as to the perfidy of many of its supposed friends.
The Tribune shall be on the job and will do all it can to keep the public enlightened on the 68th Congress.

In keeping with the progress of the race in the nation's capital, and especially with its financial institutions, The Union Laborers Bank has planned for a new home.
This bank was started more than two years ago and gradually built its business into a commanding position in the District. It is the only bank in the upper northwest section that carried the Christmas savings department this year. It has more than 1,600 depositors in this department alone.
In preparing for its new home, The Union Laborers Bank is offering the public an opportunity to purchase its first mortgage bonds in the denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000, with interest and principal guaranteed by the bank. This is the first time that a colored financial institution in Washington has offered its first mortgage bonds to the public. Such bonds are classified as being the best investment in financial circles.
This is an index of a forward step in our commercial and economic life. The usual method of funding our propositions is by stock selling. Banks are the nucleus around which business is built. Our progress in business and commerce will only be marked by the progress of our banks. A strong bank is the best commercial recommendation that a city can have. Therefore, "buy a bond" and become interested in the financial progress of the race in the nation's capital.

Roland Hayes wins Greatest American Triumph
A. E.
The associated press on November 17th conveyed the news of the appearance of Roland Hayes, American Negro tenor, as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the first colored singer to claim such honor. The press says further: "Hayes, who has just returned from a concert tour of Europe, including appearances in Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, was welcomed enthusiastically at Symphony Hall. The program included two Negro spirituals. The Negro tenor sings in French, Italian and German and is said to be studying Japanese."
Helen Fetter of the Washington Star has the following to say concerning our illustrious singer: "For the first time in history a Negro appeared as soloist with an important American symphony orchestra recently. Roland Hayes, colored tenor, who has won high praise in Europe, opened his first American tour when he sang with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Symphony Hall Boston. Hayes' tour limited to this month and next will not include Washington, but will cover territory from New York west to Chicago and Grand Rapids, Mich., and south to Nashville, Charleston and Louisville. In the spring this singer will return to Europe for engagements in central Europe, Italy, Spain and England.
The Choral Society and Symphony Orchestra
The unorganized Choral Society and Symphony Orchestra seem to be waiting for a plan before getting together for serious work. Well here is one if that is what is needed. For the orchestra there should be about twenty violin players among
He urges that the Negro should concern himself regarding federal recognition of our race in the matter of bestowing public official positions; not for the sake of the individual who happens to be the incumbent of the position, but as a matter of racial recognition. We should not lose ground. The positions we have held we should regain and secure more.
He stated that we must increase our voting strength and gave practical suggestions as to how registration of Colored voters could be increased in every section of the country.
In closing he admonished his audience to "see to it that our people do the practical, the righteous thing. If we will stand together, even though we divide on men and measures—if we stand together whenever there is any matter of special national concern before the country, there is nothing that will prevent us from rising to the high place in governmental affairs to which we are entitled. I hope to see you in the field of politics, in the field of religion, wherever our people are struggling, American with your heart and soul. I do not want to be radical, but the chief things that will give us political outlook, is commercial independence and getting rid of the sycophants who have been misleading us."

whom should be Messrs. Adams, Batson, Burgess, Butler, Boyd, Bailey, Brown, Blanchett, Campbell, Dean Manning, Murray, Moore, Robinson and several others who are well qualified for either first or second violin. Perhaps all the above mentioned violinists could play first violin, but in order to have a well balanced orchestra, the first and second violin sections must be so divided that some of the best players are in each section. The names are given alphabetically here and those not mentioned are perhaps better able to play either first or second violin than some of the above who are well known to the writer.
Mr. Mason and Mr. —— could aid by playing viola. Mr. Hunter and two of the Lincoln Theatre musicians could play 'cello and bass viol. Leaving the string section, we need Mr. Branson and his kettle drums. From our Community Center Band and other bands we can get a basson, an oboe, a flute and more good players of clarinets, trombones, cornets, horns, saxophones and basses than will be needed. If these men will spend an hour or so a week together rehearsing, it won't be many weeks before the Colored people of Washington can hear a real symphony concert without being forced to pass for white or sit in the gallery. The place for rehearsal has been granted, free. The music is also on hand, free.
So much for the players of Washington. Now about the singers. The choirs of the city should do what they will have to do if they ever join the choir of Heaven, namely, forget creeds. The Choral Society should be composed of Colored choirs, glee clubs and outsiders who are eligible and interested. Each leader should work with his own branch of the chorus in order that the director of the Choral Society may be aided when the branches meet as a whole for rehearsals.
We do not have to import a leader. The names of Tibbs and Rhodes are enough for both orchestra and chorus. There are a half dozen more who could be found right here in Washington for the positions as leaders, however. The doctors worked together for Freedmen's Hospital the financiers worked together for our banks, religious leaders and educators worked together for a university and a Y.M.C.A. and our musicians will have to work together in order to have a Choral Society and a Symphony Orchestra.

American Legion Instals Officers
American Legion Instals Officers
On Monday, November 26, at the Holy Name Guild, Paul J. McGahan, Commander of the District of Columbia Department, American Legion, installed the charter officers of Post No. 29. The officers installed were, L. DeReef Holton, commander; R. N. Carter, vice commander; E. H. Marshall, chaplain; C. M. Gordon, adjutant; Geo. W. Johnson, quartermaster; C. B. Plummer, finance officer; E. J. Butler, master-at-arms; Arthur Loney Sergeant-at-arms; and H. A. Walker and J. W. Farmer, color bearers. Commander McGahan, in a short address, called upon the new officers, and the Post, for whole-hearted support to the Department, and the principles for which the Legion stands; and urged a vigorous campaign for a substantial increase in membership. William Franklin, Senior Vice-Commander of the Department, and Chief Sponsor for the new post, was also present. He urged the post to busy itself in community and welfare work. The post went on record as supporting Mr. Franklin in his fight for better burial contracts for ex-service men.
Color Line in France
PARIS, France—(From the New York World.) To realize Gen. Mangin's recent declaration that "hence forth France is a nation of 100,000,000," French colored Deputies are waging a campaign for formal recognition from the civilized world that civilized men are civilized men, no matter what their color.
Albert Sarrault, Minister of Colonies, although admitting that he is opposed to naturalization en masse of colored people living under the French flag, is entirely in favor of developing native responsibilities in the colonies by means of local political committees, giving a representation to aid the progress of those whom France considers not inferior beings but merely backward brothers.
France has always professed to recognize absolute equality of colored and white citizens, legally and socially and Archambaud, reporter of the colonial budget, repeats this is his last report, adding proposals granting fuller political rights to the colonial races.
Diagne, colored Deputy for Senegal, insists on recognition of the equality of the races from physical, political and social veiwpoints, arguing that the greater intellectual development of certain collectivities compared with others does not prove co-existent supermen monkeys but only the richness of variety of the human race.

A CHANCE
By Cornelia Jackson (17)
In the large cosmopolitan city, New York, there lived a little orphan boy, ignored by the hurrying throng of the streets.
Billy was a little boy of nine years. He was quite small for his age. His dark brown eyes shown brightly from beneath his ragged hat. The lad was miserably dressed. A few years ago, Billy was very, very happy; but how conditions have changed! His fatherhad gone to war and was killed. His mother died of grief for her husband a year later.
Billy, being forsaken by his other relatives went to live with a poor
family in one of the worst residential sections in New York. He received much harsh treatment; here he worked very hard.
At spare moments, he would sell newspapers and often other newsboys more fortunate than he, would try to discourage him; but brave little Billy would always say, "You just Give me a chance."
Every day his comrades would spend almost their entire salary of that day by buying things to eat. Billy, still thinking of his chance, would save a certain sum every day. He kept this a secret for a long while.
Later years found Billy a successful business man in the same city in which he was scorned when a boy. He has given employment to several of his old comrades.
Several years ago, Billy, our young man, gave his employees a reception. While entertaining he made the following remarks:
"Boys, years ago, I asked you to give me a chance. When we sold newspapers, I would save money every day, while you spent all you made. You tried to discourage me; but your words were in vain." His guests hung their heads in shame.
On Billy's next birthday, his employees presented him with a motto placed in a beautiful frame. The words were, "Give a fellow a chance."
A SCHOOL CLUB
Better Speech Week has inspired the pupils of 7-A grade of Garnet School to organize a permanent club under the name of "Improved Speech Club." It is a dandy idea. Every member is to help his or her school mate to improve his or her speech.
The officers of the club are: R. T. Murry, president; Mabel Madden, vice-president; Cheretein Ridgely, secretary; Wm. Bryant, assistant secretary; Martha Williams, treasurer; assistant treasurer, Mary Todd.
Boys: William Booth, Lawrence Clark, Larnell Curry, John Davis, Robert Harris, Edward Lawson, Norman Suter, William McNeill, Thomas Roberts, Joseph Waters, Major Wilkerson, Howard Lockley, Filmore Mitchell and Harry Parker.
Girls: Ann Allen, Dorothy Bogan Alzena Brooks, Louise Brown, Agnes Butler, Evelyn Carter, Alice Davis Viola Fleming, Dorothy Fortune Katherine Gaskins, Marion Gilmore Elizabeth Hawkins, Marveline Hoffman, Evelyn Vaughn, Florence Williams; Ellen Johnson, Ruby Stevens, Odessa Stewart, Norma Prosser, Mildred Polk and Mary Tignor.
Do you tell your little secrets and hopes to your parents? Try it once. If you open your heart to your parents you will find them the best pals, a lad or lassie could possibly have.
We must have money.
We must have respect for human-kind.

Ask South to Observe Race Relations Day
Atlanta, Ga.—The Federal Council Commission the Church and Race Relations is asking that February 10, 1924, be observed in all the churches of the country, white and colored, as Race Relations Sunday. Since this subject upholds so vital a place just now in the effort to make Christianity really effective, it is felt that in every pulpit at least one sermon a year might well be devoted to it, and also one program in every Sunday School, Young People's Society and other religious groups. In 1923 the day was observed in a great many churches. It is hoped that in 1924 its observance may be practically unanimous. The results for good, it is believed, would be immeasurable.
The Commission is publishing a booklet suggesting programs, topics and materials suited to the occasion. It is not too early for everyone interested, whether pastor, missionary leader, Sunday School or young people's worker, to write for further information to the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City. Christianity as has been so often said, has the only answer to all humanity's problems and needs, but the answer must be diligently sought and applied. And this can be done only through
And this can be done only through the efforts of Christian leaders working along practical lines like that suggested above.
Prejudice Only Matter of Color
Prejudice Only Matter of Color
The real problem the Negro in America must face is the problem of color. Although a minority group may argue that the best thing for the Negro to do is to prepare himself for various vocations and then the opportunity will open itself, this is far from being true. Today there are thousands of Negroes capable and willing to perform practically every kind of service known in America, but they are denied this privilege, solely because of their racial identity. In a few cases, some Negroes are holding down choice jobs, but they are passing for white. However, when these persons' racial identity is found out, they are immediately dismissed regardless of the service they have rendered.
The New York Nation in a recent article presents in a very concise way just what it means to be colored in America. The Tribune for the benefit of its readers, is herewith reproducing this article:
"WHITE"
By Gustavus Adolphus Steward
(New York Nation)
When Everett took a job as truck driver for a large Philadelphia concern he did not say that he was "colored." Tall, white, with brown hair and brown eyes, and with Caucasian—or should I write Nordic?—features, nothing in his physical appearance betrayed his "race." Week in and week out he worked steadily, apparently giving entire satisfaction, earning the praise of his boss. Suddenly he was "let go." A real white man, a friend from his Jersey home, happening to secure work for the same firm, had given the information that Everett's mother and father, sisters and brothers, all of whom he personally knew, were "colored."
"But I'm the same man I was yesterday, ain't I?" protested Everett to the boss.
"Why yes, but you're colored. It would hurt the business—the other men won't work with a——."
All right, then, he'd be "colored," he determined, as he stamped out, flaming.
In New York he applied to the Pullman Company for a job as a sleeping-car porter. The man at the desk looked up at him in amazement and replied: "We can't use white men as porters."
"But I'm not white, I'm colored," Everett fiercely declared. No use. The other, unconvinced, waved him politely out. Everett was never sure whether the man believed him simply a plain liar or a new brand of interesting lunatic.
The widow Moore is the daughter of her former Virginia master by one of his slaves. She is stately, gray-haired, with bluish-gray eyes, and far from unfashionable in dress. She listed with the Barton Rental Agency a piece of property she owns, and did not state that she was "colored." In due time Barton's "For Rent" sign appeared in the front window of her vacant house. Some time later she called at the agency. Mr. Barton told her that her house seemed a bit hard to rent, that is, to desirable tenants. She should be patient, however. The house would certainly be rented, and to first-class people, too. They did not rent to any other class.
"Of course," he continued, "you would
Washington Tribune
I really want to colored, for example, but——"
"Well, why not? Colored people are good people aren't they?" "I'm not saying they aren't, but when they get into property it depreciates: If you should want to sell later, you would lose money. Moreover, any agency which places colored among white people thereby earns an undesirable and unprofitable reputation. We therefore make it a business point not to——"
"Have you had any applications from colored people?" "Oh, several."
"Then rent it to them. Why keep the house idle if they are good people and can pay?" "Sorry, madam, but we shall have to decline——"
As the widow Moore was leaving Barton's office, she had a consuming desire to fling back at him the scorching words: "I'm colored." She thought how much she would enjoy seeing him writhe as they annihilated him. Instead she went out and rented her house—to "colored."

The brown letter carrier bought a house in the very middle of a block occupied entirely by whites. When the day to move came, he went to his work as usual, while his blonde, pink-cheeked, blue-eyed wife superintended the transfer of their household goods. She wore no tag stating that she was "colored."
Her new neighbors watched the emptying vans from behind front-room curtains and upstairs windows. Late in the afternoon, when the greater part of the preliminary "setting" was over, the lady next door ventured over.
"You must be tired, working here all day by yourself. I just thought I'd run in and ask you if you would not like to come over and have a cup of hot tea or something with me." The blonde wife went.
The brown letter carrier finished his day's work, hurried to the new home, slipped into rough clothes, and began to busy himself about the yard. The lady next door and his wife were in the midst of a pleasant neighborly chat, finishing their luncheon. The former was saying: "I'm so glad I had a little something in the house. It's such an awful job to move. Now, anything I can do until you get straight, let me know. Just come right over any time and use our stove and things until yours is connected." The postman's wife thanked her.
"Your yard man has come, I think," the neighbor continued, as she saw the brown man in overalls in the yard. "Oh, that's my husband,' said the carrier's wife, and without waiting to see what visible effect this pronouncement had—an omission she now decidedly regrets—she ran out to him. But the lady next door "does not speak" now, and the neighbor bristles with antipathy against the interlopers.

None of his friends seems to have known what blood mixture filled Norton's veins. He himself was able to account for three strains—American Indian, American white, and Mexican. He had the complexion of an Italian, his head was covered with a mass of deepest black hair, and he wore the long curling mustache of the vogue which preceded the present truncated, stubby fashion. At any rate he certainly did not state that he was "colored."
When I first met him he was a night clerk in the Brookline, Massachusetts, post office, dreaming of the day when, with a friend who was both violinist and composer, he would entrance a waiting world with the beauties of an exceedingly graceful light opera to the preparation of which they both devoted all their spare moments. Suddenly he became violently religious, and vehemently damned the very art to which hitherto he had ardently attached. He joined a church in the shadow of Faneuil Hall. He and his wife became prominent in its activities, and with the inspiration and approval of its pastor, he prepared himself for missionary work in India. The missionary board approved his application. He went to the New York offices to complete preliminaries. Somehow information seems to have reached the board that he was "colored." Perhaps some member of the church had drawn that conclusion from the fact that his wife was indubitably "colored," and this startlingly subversive intelligence had been communicated to the board. At any rate, upon seeing him the good gentlemen of the missionary board were sure that some unaccountable mistake had been made. They were profuse in their apologies. In spite of their written approval of his application for service in India which he held, it seemed that they had intended to state "service in Africa." It is reported that they oiled their explanation of this unusual blunder with the same old quasi-pious stuff which white Christians too frequently employ when confronted with a Negro demanding mere human consideration. "Colored people are so much happier among their own, you know." "Africa should make a particularly compelling appeal to every consecrated colored man." and so on.
But Norton was interested in souls, he said, and not in the color of human skins. He left the board's rooms convinced that there was a mistake and that he had made it. He had seriously misjudged the board. Bitterly he reflected afterwards that he had thought that they were Christians! His missionary zeal did not at once abate, and so he started with his wife on a tour through the South, with the avowed purpose of converting the Negroes there. He had desperately determined to be "colored." They got as far as Petersburg, Virginia, became upset and frightened at the hostility they engendered among the Negroes by their frank, somewhat superior-minded assumption that they needed conversion, and returned,
cured, to the North, where Norton accepted the pastorate of a church in a New England town. But his disillusionment must have been both thorough and permanent for not long afterward he had given up religious work for good and was driving a huge auto truck for some New York business-house. One winter morning he was found frozen to death in the city's streets. It is said that his mind had become deranged from brooding over his abortive missionary efforts. His widow now does uplift work in a Jim Crow Y. W. C. A. in a Southern city. And the soft-voiced, elderly gentlemen of the missionary board, one supposes, still approve "colored" missionary applicants for service—in Africa only.
