RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION FIGHT NOW IN D. C. COURTS Dr. Gannon Presents Platform to Republican Committee First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 29 RESIDENT Dr. Gann DEMANDS G. O. P. ADHERE TO THE CONSTITUTION New Jersey will try to Send Negro to Sixty-ninth Congress That the Negroes of New Jersey are alive to the political situation that obtains in the Northern states is evidenced by the presentation of the platform of the National Colored Republican Conference which met in Atlantic City in July of this year, by Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, of Jersey City, to the sub-committee of the National Republican Committee, Monday. Dr. Cannon said that the colored people of the North are dissatisfied with the failure of the Republicans to keep their pre-election promises. To a representative of the Tribune, Dr. Cannon stated that the Negroes of New Jersey were going to nominate a colored man from one of the Congressional districts for the election next November. New Jersey will be proud to have a Negro in Congress on Capitol Hill for the 69th Congress. The seven points as presented to the sub-committee of the National Republican Committee, Monday, by Dr. Cannon are as follows: To the Republican Committee: At the Annual Meeting of the National - Colored Republican Conference, held in Atlantic City, N.J., July 20 and 21, a committee was appointed to confer with the Republican National Committee in the interest of colored republicans. Pursuant thereto, we submit the following for your consideration. 1. The Republican party, under some of the latter-day leaders, has become active in eliminating colored republicans through the so-called "illy-white" policy. We register our protest against this policy, and ask for absolute equality of membership as the only just basis in keeping with the tenets of our party. 2. The action of the Republican National Committee in cutting down colored republican representation in the National Convention, without asking Congress to correspondingly cut down representation in Congress, has been viewed by colored republicans as an endorsement of the disfranchising laws of the South. 3. We feel that there has been a growing tendency in our party to eliminate our voice in the councils of the National Party. This has been born out by gradual reduction of our representation in the National Committee to one lone member, and even an effort was made to oust him at the last convention. 4. We deplore the policy of the Republican party not to appoint colored republicans to office in the South, and few for that matter anywhere; and interpret it to mean that our own party is willing to foist upon us the proscription meted out to us by our relentless political enemies—the Southern democrats. 5. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and we commend the attitude of the party towards the enforcement of the 18th Amendment but we are mindful of the gross violation of the 14th and 15th Amendments for the past 50 years, and we call upon the Republican party to stand for the enforcement of the Constitution in its entirety. 6. As a result of the above mentioned grievances, colored republicans throughout the nation have become restless and discontented and their faith and confidence in the party are being shaken. The great voting strength of the colored people is in in the eastern, middle western and border states, in many of which they hold the balance of power, and we call upon the Republican party to take a firm stand for their rights and privileges as American citizens, if the par- (Continued on page 3) The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY ENTIAL SEC non Pres FIGHT FOR MORE DELEGATES FROM SOUTH SUCCEEDS Sen. Pepper's Speech Turns Tide When Defeat Seemed Evident The resolution offered Wednesday at the meeting of the National Republican Committee, by Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, resulted in the reconsideration of the Committee's reappointment of delegates for the 1924 Convention and the restoration of the 1920 basis for the South. But as an offset to this restoration to the South, three additional delegates, for each of the 38 states that went for President Harding in 1920, were added. This will give about 1,100 delegates, each with an alternate, to the Cleveland Convention of the Republican party, as against 984 in the 1920 convention—a net increase for the North of over 100. The Southern colored beneficiaries of the party, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard, Walter Cohen, Dr. R. D. Redmond and Roscoe Conkling Simmons have been fighting for the restoration of a delegate for each congressional district in the Southern states for the past six months. They saw their power, and incidently the emoluments therefrom, slipping from them; and with self-preservation ever before them, fought to the last ditch to restore the 32 delegates which the South stood to lose by the action of the National Republican Committee in 1921, when the new apportionment was made. Roscoe C. Simmons opened the fight Monday, before a sub-committee which met in the Munsey Building. With his characteristic palavering and Uncle Tom stunts he pleaded for an hour before the Committee, with no apparent avail. Senator Howell, of Nebraska, chairman, had already announced that the matter was closed and they would only listen to the appeal through courtesy. Tuesday the fight was re-opened on the floor of the National Committee and it was brought out that the Negro was not responsible for his not voting in the South. That the registration was in the hands of white men who could disqualify any man they desired. The enforcement of the 14th Amendment was asked for in order that the Negro may vote. It was pointed out that the Negroes who leave the South register and vote in the Northern states to which they go, and if given the opportunity they would vote in the South. Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, of New Jersey in a statement to the committee said that the recent emigrants from the South would resent this underwriting of the disfranchisement of the Southern Negro by the Republican Party. He said there were 85,000 Negro voters in the state of New Jersey who held the balance of power, which could be used against the party if the Southern delegates were cut down in 1924. Perry W. Howard and Henry Lincoln Johnson also spoke before the general committee, Tuesday, in the interest of restoring the representation as of 1920. Senator Howell fought the opening of the hearing before the general committee and tried to prevail with the committee that the affair was a closed incident. Wednesday, h ewent so far as to say: "You are about to light the train that leads to a powder barrel." He said that the committee was arrogating unto itself power that was not given it at the 1920 convention. "It was the control of these Southern delegations" said Senator Howell, "that disrupted the party in 1912." The passing of Senator Pepper's resolution was greeted by prolonged cheers by the gallery, composed mostly of colored people. Tuesday it looked as though the WASHINGTON; D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923 Budget Grants Howard Univ. Large Increase The budget sent Congress this week by the Budget Bureau, contains several items of particular interest to Tribune readers. Among the school items, General Lord, head of the bureau, asks Congress for $200,000 for the completion of an addition to Armstrong Manual Training School. For completing the construction of a building to replace the present John F. Cook school, the sum of $150,000 is asked for. This amount is an increase of $50,000 over the amount asked for last year. For the purchase of a site for the Burrville School, the bureau asks for $7,500. The Barry Farm district in Anacostia, which was recently opened up by the District taking title to the roads and streets in that section, will have their streets improved. $21,000 is asked for these improvements. The appropriation for Freedmen's Hospital is increased; $174,700 is asked for this institution as against $172,800 last year. Howard University comes in for a large proportion this year because General Lord is asking Congress to provide $815,000 for this institution; last year the budget only carried $215,000 for Howard. The new items proposed include $127,500 toward the construction of a building for an assembly hall, gymnasium, armory and administrative headquarters; $370,000 is asked for an addition to the medical school equipment. Citizens Lose in Fight Against Supt. Ballou The petition of the Barry Farms Citizens Association, of Anacostia asking for the removal of Miss Etta Johnson, sister of Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, a member of the School Board as secretary of the Anacostia Community Center, was refused Wednesday, by Superintendent Ballou. A delegation from the Association called upon the superintendent, asking for the removal of Miss Johnson and the appointment of Mrs. Claudina Taylor Travers to the position. Non-residence in Anacostia of Miss Johnson, was the main reason given by the Barry Farm Association for asking for her removal, while the Hillsdale Citizens Association testified that Miss Johnson was a proficient secretary. Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, is of the opinion that the controversy was the result of friction between the two citizens associations. The secretaries for the Community Centers were elected by the local organization until about three years age when the School Board passed a resolution stating that the local secretaries would be appointed by the central office of the Community Center work, located in the Franklin School building. The Barry Farms Association was under the impression that the secretary was elected by the local association instead of being appointed from the central office. fight was lost. H. L. Remmell, president of the Bankers Trust Company of Little Rock, Ark., said that the action of the committee in 1921 would steal four delegates from his state. He deplored the action and said: "If I were a Negro, I would run into the Democratic party pell mell and help defeat the Republicans in 1924." He asked Senator Howell, why he did not do his duty in Congress and see that the Negro exercised his franchise in the South. Between the adjournment Tuesday and the opening of the session Wednesday, Simmons, Howard and Johnson, sent out their S. O. S. and succeeded in enlisting the support of Senator Pepper, who put the resolution over that restored to the South the full delegations as of 1920. Race Woman Heroine of Big Wreck on N.Y.C.R.R. Forsythe, N. Y. (Special)—The wreck of the Twentieth Century Limited of the New York Central railroad near here last Sunday night, in which nine were killed and scores injured, one being a colored porter, would possibly have claimed more lives but for the heroic work of Mrs. Emma Washington, a colored maid on the train. The wreck was caused by the second section of the train running into the first section which had stopped on account of it running into an automobile. Mrs. Washington, who has been working as maid on the "Century" for over twenty years, was in the car above the ill fated coach and when the crash came, and she was able to get to her feet, she immediately began to rescue and give succor to the unfortunate passengers. Passengers who continue on the other sections to Chicago told the story of her tireless rescue work in the foggy early morning hours. "Mrs. Washington seemed to be the busiest person around here," said Simon Klee, clothing manufacturer of SEVERAL XMAS OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED PUBLIC For the fourteenth season the Associated Charities presents its appeal under the head of Christmas Opportunities. These are selected families where a definite plan has been worked out with a view of keeping the children with their mothers for the coming year. This years opportunities consist as has been the case in previous years of 14 families most of them children of widows or wives deserted by their husbands. Of these fourteen families three are colored. Their story is of the same pathetic sort as all the rest. Two of them are in the District over which Mrs. Laura B. Glenn presides, and are under the care of her Conference with headquarters at 701 Rhode Island Avenue. Mrs. Glenn will be glad to receive contributions for these families or they may be sent directly to the Society's headquarters, at the new Social Service House, 1022 11th Street, Northwest. Mr. John Joy Edson is treasurer and checks may be made payable to him and designated for the particular opportunity to which the gift is to be assigned. Every dollar so designated will be used according to the wishes of the donor, not even so much as a car fare or a postage stamp used in acknowledging the gift will be deducted from the contribution. The three opportunities referred to with their brief stories are as follows: Opportunity No. 7. Deserted wife and three young children. Her husband a mental subject due to drugs left this little mother to shift for herself. The wife worked desperately to keep her three babies with her. She paid the price when her health broke down, and it became impossible for her to work any longer. A major surgical operation was necessary in order to save her life. She is better now, but constant caution is required to keep her from plunging back into serious illness. Bright and early in the morning the children are up—washed, dressed and the housework quickly done by the mother, after which she is able to get a few hours of paying work. She is able to earn about $10 a week, but aside from receiving this $10 a week, or a total of $520, more money is needed for the coming year if this home is to be kept together. Opportunity No. 11. Widow and four children, oldest 11 years children, oldest 11 years. Entire family suffering from malautrition due to inability of widow Evanston, and his praise was seconded by officials of the railroad. "She wielded an ax and ministered to the injured with equal energy and skill." Mrs. Washington was first seen by Paul Martin of 1312 Winnemac avenue, Chicago, Ill., a shirt waist manufacturer, as she was smashing in windows of the twisted observation car with an ax. Then, when the wounded and dead were taken from the wreckage, she set calmly to work tearing up sheets for bandages and preparing emergency beds with Pullman blankets and pillows. For several hours she busied herself along the right of way, caring for the distressed passengers. It was her first wreck, and she "never did admire the sight of blood." But as a combination fire chief, nurse, porter, doctor, policeman, messenger boy, and priest, she came through something over 100 per cent. R. Parnell of New York was the Negro killed in the wreck. Parnell was in charge of the ill-fated observation car. "Y" CAMPAIGN BEING PUSHED WITH VIGOR The remodeling and equipment campaign launched by the Twelfth Street Branch, Y. M. C. A. on December 6th has awakened city-wide interest in the welfare of the Colored men and boys of this city. The pamphlet which was distributed service has been rendered this campaign contained a very illuminating account of the work which has been done for more than eleven years. It recalled to many the fact that great service has bene rendered this community in the past decade of continuous service. What has been looked upon by some as a state of disrepair through misuse and neglect is shown to be primarily the result of hard service by a community in which such an institution is an essential need. A bit of interesting history was given in the statement from the Chairman of the committee of management. He stated that since the construction of the 12th Street Branch building in 1912, approximately 12,000 men and 7,000 boys have been served as members of the Association through the religious, educational, social and physical departments. In the religious department alone the records of eleven years show that approximately 120,000 people have attended public religious meetings. More than 9,000 personal interviews have been held for the purpose of helping men make decisions for the Christian life. More than 2,300 such decisions have been made under the influence of the Y.M.C.A. and 1,100 men and boys have been enrolled in various churches of their choice, through the "Y" influence. In the gymnasium 9,000 men and 7,000 boys have been enrolled in various gymnasium classes and on association teams. Three thousand have been taught to swim in the spacious pool. On the opening night of the campaign, letters were read by Secretary Johnson from the Executive Secretaries throughout the country congratulating Washington on this effort and urging that the work be carried through to a successful conclusion not only for the benefit it will have upon Washington but because of the influence that will be exerted upon the movement throughout the country. The Rev. Channing H. Tobias, new Senior Secretary, Colored Mens' Department, International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. stated in his communication "that nothing could mean (Continued on page 3) N D. C. lican Com Race Lawyers Ignored by Mrs. Mary C. Terrell Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, prominent club woman of this city and former member of the Board of Education, through Newmyer & King, a white law firm, filed court in the District Supreme Court to recover $20,000 damages from the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co., of Baltimore for personal injuries. Mrs. Terrell while driving her car on the road to Highland Beach, Md., near, Annapolis, Md., was struck by a truck of the telephone company. The accident occurred July 28th last. While driving up a hill Mrs. Terrell looked up and saw that a heavy truck was coming down the hill on her side of the road. She turned her car abruptly to the left, but the truck struck her car from the rear. Her car was smashed and Mrs. Terrell and her maid who was with her, were forced against the front of the car. Mrs. Terrell suffered a compound fracture of the right knee can. Mrs. Terrell is the wife of Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court. Judge Terrell is the only colored judge on the bench here. All counsel for Mrs. Terrell in her suit are white, although there are a number of capable colored lawyers, who, like Mrs. Terrell's husband, would appreciate the opportunity of serving her. It will also be recalled that immediately after the accident, when Mrs. she was carried to a white hospital where she was refused a private room because of her color; however, she remained at the hospital in an oper ward despite this ruling. NUMBER OF BILLS AFFECTING RACE IN CONGRESS Congress while not completely organized, has settled down to its work of granding out bills and measures. While many national and international issues are up for consideration, it also seems that the Negro is being very much thought of by the National law makers. Several bills have already been introduced directly affecting the Negro. Senator Caraway of Arkansas, comes forward with a bill to prohibit the intermarriage of whites and Negroes within the District of Columbia. The measure would also prohibit the residence within the District of such Caucasians and Negroes as intermarry outside of the District. A number of bills of this type are introduced every year by southern congressmen; they are always used as a big boost toward their re-election back home. Somewhat in line with a recommendation in President Coolidge's speech before Congress, Representative I. M. Foster of Ohio, introduced a bill this week to create a "Negro Industrial Commission." This commission according to Representative Foster is to study the economic conditions of the Negro; to study the labor problems in which the Negro is interested; to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry, etc. The commission would report its findings to the President and Congress. Representative Madden of Illinois, seeks $250,000 with which to erect a monument in honor of Pietro Alonzo, a Negro, who, it is claimed, piloted the "Nina," one of the three vessels which Columbus used in his first exploration which resulted in the discovery of America. The bill provided for a commission of nine members to prepare plans. Of the $250,000, the government is to furnish only $25,000; the balance is to be raised by public subscription. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. COURTS mmittee RIGHT TO LIVE ANYWHERE HERE BEING TESTED Efforts of Whites to Revoke Deed to Dr. Scott's Home Affects Whole Race The case of Louis J. Fosse vs. Stephen and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, in which the plaintiff is seeking in equity to have the deed to premises, 1711 S Street, Northwest, which is owned and occupied now by Dr. Scott, set aside, was tried before Justice Stafford in the District Court this week. Besides trying to have Dr. Scott's deed revoked and oust him from the premise the plaintiff also seeks damages. While the case closed Thursday, Justice Stafford will not hand down his decision until after both sides have submitted briefs. Atty. Jas. S. Easby-Smith (white) represents Fosse, while Atty. Jas. A. Cobb, represents Dr. Scott. Stephen Cochran was the owner of 1711 before Dr. Scott purchased it. The decision in this case will go a long ways toward determining whether American citizens who are members of the Negro race can live where they choose in the capital of the Na- The case grew out of the fact that a so-called covenant was signed by a number of whites living in the 1700 block of S Street, Northwest, in which they agreed not to sell their property to Negroes for a period of 21 years. It is alleged that Mr. Cochran was a party of this covenant; however, when Mr. Cochran decided to move from the block, he sold his home to Dr. Emmett J. Scott. Louis J. Fosse, who now lives next door to Dr. Scott and who admitted in court he is a party to the covenant is seeking to have Dr. Scott ousted. This is the second case affecting the transfering of property in this block to Negroes. Dr. A. W. Curtis now has a case pending before the Court of Appeals. However, there is a vast difference between the Curtis case and Dr. Scott's case. In the Curtis case, an injunction was obtained enjoining the owners from selling to Dr. Curtis; but in the Scott case, the sale was consumed, the deeds and all other papers recorded and possession taken. Since Dr. Scott moved in last April 11th, a number of other prominent citizens have purchased in the block, including Atty. A. W. Gray, Atty. W. L. Houston and others. A decision from Justice Stafford is expected as soon as he has had time to study the briefs. "Handsome" Harry Victim of Narcotics "Handsome Harry" is no more. His many friends scattered throughout the city are mourning their loss. He was a victim of too much good time and dope. After a party with a group of friends last Sunday night, "Handsome Harry" whose real name is Harry Johnson, went to the Union Station after the party and while there he became ill. He was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital where he died. Coroner Nevitt issued a certificate of death due to narcotic poisoning. According to the police authorities, this poisoning was caused by a mixture of corn liquor and heroin. Johnson lived at 915 Westminster Street, Northwest. Funeral services were held Wednesday night in the undertaking establishment of McGuire on 9th Street. His remains were shipped to Parole, Md., for interment. The body was claimed by his people who live near Parole. LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Dr. E. D. W. Jones has returned from an extended trip thru the South delivering sermons and addresses before the conference of his denomination. Large congregations greeted him last Sunday at the services of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. The many activities of the church reported progress and successful enterprises during his absence. It was pleasing to the pastor to learn that all the properties belonging to the church were rented by members of the race except one. Dr. Jones while away, was re-elected president of the Ministerial Alliance of the District and will deliver the Emancipation address here for the National Negro Congress, January 1, 1924.

This bank is the only one having a Christmas Savings department in the upper northwest section. The Industrial Savings Bank and The Prudential will not have the Christmas Savings even next year. The Industrial conducts the school stamp savings system in which school children are encouraged to save their pennies, nickels and dimes. The Prudential was opened last August and is too crowded to give the time and attention necessary to the opening of a Christmas Savings system. The Christmas Savings brought more than 1,600 new depositors to the Union Laborer's Bank, this year. They opened their 1924 club on the fifth of December and about seventy per cent of this years club members have opened accounts for 1924. A number of the club members invested their Christmas savings in the bonds of the Union Labs Bank,which was placed on the market this month. The Christmas Savings Club has become a popular thrift system for providing ready money for ready holiday spending. More than $2,500,000 was saved by the people of Washington this year through the various clubs of the city. Several Xmas Opportunities Offered (Continued from page 1) with four young children to earn enough to keep her family of four together. This cheerful mother is an excellent worker and does all that her strength permits, but overwork and undernourishment are beginning to exact their toll and unless someone helps quickly the family will be broken beyond repair. The oldest child, a promising boy of 11 "is the nearest relative" to whom this mother may look for help in the near future. $14 a week is needed to supplement the mother's earnings and save her health and that of the children. Opportunity No. 13. Widow and five children. "It itn't really true. Tell me you ain't foling me. Do you mean that I can have some money in my hand and go to the store and buy the food I want without bothering with a grocery order? It's too good to be true." This was the way money for a Thanksgivnig dinner was received by this woman, who herself almost blind, has a husband in the Tuberculosis Hospital, leaving her with five children to support, from three to thirteen years of age. Because of her devotion to her family and her response to every suggestion for their care, the visitor of the Associated Charities has recommended that she be given a coveted place in these opportunities.

H. W. HARRIS N. W. (Over National Lunch) The Women of LOCALS MRS. ESSIE LOVE THOMAS "A woman with an ambition" well describes Mrs. Essie Love Thomas, of 224 Florida Avenue, Northwest, dramatic artist and entertainer. That does not fully describe Mrs. Thomas for she diversifies her time. Mrs. Thomas was born in Jacksonville, Florida. She came to Washington about five years ago. Having attended the Washington School of Expression, she went to Boston, where she attended the Emerson School of Oratory. Mrs. Thomas is known as an entertainer for socials, clubs and churches. A. Mrs. ESSIE LOVE THOMAS She also conducts private classes in expression. She appeared to advantage in the "opening of King Tut's Tomb," by the Masons, at the American League Park, last August. Her next appearance in the city will be at the Metropolitan Baptist Church Monday night the 17th. Mrs. Thomas was formerly a school teacher in Florida and Georgia. And when not entertaining or preparing to entertain, she conducts the Union Employment Bureau, at 191812 14th Street, Northwest. Here, in keeping with her disposition to render a service, she secures employment for men and women thereby becoming the connecting link between employer and employee. Even with these diversified employments, Mrs. Thomas finds time to purchase and sell real estate. Her last purchase was that of a house in Hobart Place, Northwest, which she expects to make her new home. After reading the above we can conclude that Mrs. Thomas is "a woman of diversified ambitions." The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the American Negro Academy will be held at the Cleveland Community Center, 8th and T Streets, N.W., on Thursday and Friday, December 27 and 28.

"Y" Campaign Being Pushed With Vigor "Y" Campaign Being Pushed With Vigor (Continued from page 1) more to "Y work for. Colored men throughout the United States than a decisive victory in Washington." Mr. R. B. DeFrantz of the International Committee in writing of the effect on Kansas City of Washington's success originally in building the Twelfth Street Building said, "because of what Washington has done, we were inspired to do later. What was true of Kansas City was likewise true of practically every city which has since acquired a modern building. The inspiration came from the sacrificial efforts put forth by the citizens of Washington. Already several of these cities are looking forward to changes and additions to their present equipments. As Washington led out in the beginning of the building era, the results of the present effort will be an incentive to the other associations in planning their forward steps. I know the men of Washington are going to win in this effort as they did in the past, for potentially there is no stronger group, so men in this country than those in the District." More than 8,000 people have been reached through the literature sent out by the Association and the teams are working hard to make a personal contact with each of these persons before the end of the campaign. In order that everybody may have as large a part as possible in this effort, arrangements have been made to make subscriptions payable either all in cash or to extend the payments over a period until May 1, 1924.

Old political methods of dealing with him are a thing of the past. We ask that the new leadership—organized leadership—be recognized, and that the advisors of the party be chosen from states where the Negro votes and where his vote is counted. GIFT BUYERS!

Dec. 8th—The board of commissioners and incidently owners of the Eastern Colored League Clubs held their second annual powwow in the Y. M. C. A. building at Philadelphia. The respective clubs were represented by the following commissioners; Brooklyn Royal Giants by Nat. C. Strong; Cuban Stars by Alexander Pompez; Bacharach Giants by Jackson; Baltimore Black Sox by Charles P. Spedden; Lincoln Giants by WASHINGTON Ben Taylor James J. Keenan, Secretary-Treasurer of the Association and the Hilldale by Edward Bolden the Chairman of the Commissioners. After completing a few minor details under the head of "old business," officers were elected for the ensuing year. By an unanimous vote the present officers were retained for the coming year. Washington and Harrisburg Admitted Ben Taylor, well known baseball manager, and George W. Robinson, Philadelphia capitalist, representing the Washington Potomacs and Charles W. (Colonel) Strothers, representing the Harrisburg Giants, were given an attentive hearing by the commissioners, relative to the possibility of the association granting franchises to their respective clubs. Both applicants convinced the commissioners, that without a reasonable doubt they were in possession of parks suitable for league purposes and in position to place clubs on the field that would compete favorably with the standard that has already been set up by the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs and satisfied the board that they represented ample financial resources to meet all of the obligations and requirements of the league. After carefully weighing the matter submitted by the applicants and concluding that the "jumps" were not too far, that a compact circuit could still be maintained, Washington and Harrisburg were respectively admitted into the circuit. The commissioners will meet again next month at which time the weight problem of drafting a schedule will be considered. Regarding the new members of the Eastern Colored League it is evident to all followers of the game that neither of the clubs are experiments. Ben Taylor who will look out for the playing end of the Washington outfit needs no introduction to the baseball fans, a prominent figure in baseball for the last decade and schooled under his illustrious brother C. I. Taylor, the Capital City will undoubtedly support the Potomac under the present management. While Geogre W. Robinson is the man behind the scene, his acknowledged business qualities are just what the Taylor recipe needs "Colomb" Strothers has fostered Negro baseball in Harrisburg for the past fifteen years and knows just what is necessary to conduct a first class club. In fact the club that represented the Harrisburg Giants during the past season would very likely have taken the measure of any of the league clubs. The Giants captured the city championship from the Motive Power club, the strongest white club that has represented Harrisburg since the hey-day of the Tri-State League. Carlisle Oppose White Baltimore Semi-Pros On Monday night, December 17, at the Colonnade, the basket ball season of 1923-24 will get under way with an unusual, novel attraction. Great interest is being taken in this occasion because, first it will introduce to local fans a new club which is destined to represent Washington this winter. Plans of forming an all-star club started last summer and resulted in the combining of the three best clubs in Washington—namely the Carlisles, the Gladiators, and the Lightning "5" clubs. The new club has chosen the name "Carlisle" because of its great popularity. The Carlisle Club has always given the public a clean-cut aggregation and it has been highly lauded in New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey. In such players as Marcus Wheatland, Enos Wright, Clarkson, Taylor, the Davis Brothers, Wm. Mayo, Kinnard, Benny Hill, Barbour, Braddick and Turner, local fans will see a much stronger club than has represented this city in many years. The Carlisle quint opens with a game against one of the fastest white semi-pro clubs of Baltimore. This is the second time that a game has been played here between colored and white clubs. The Carlisles hope to give the public several such games this season before taking on clubs from Pittsburgh, New York and New Jersey. No reserve seats will be sold, as it is felt that the public will appreciate a straight admission with an opportunity to sit anywhere they choose. There will be dancing from 8:30 to 10 p.m. The game will start at 10 p.m. of time will eliminate the necessity of patrons waiting an hour or so for the game to start. Music will be furnished by the White Bros. Ginger Band before and after the game. Drewery W. Va. Star Half Back Dead Charleston, W.Va., Dec. 10—William Drewery, student and star athlete of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, died this morning at the Charleston General Hospital. The cause of his death seems to have been a recurrence of a trouble for which he was operated on during the summer of 1921. The day after the football team, on which Drewery was asst halfback, returned from their victory at Columbus, he was taken to the General Hospital. He was operated upon the same night in an attempt to save his life. For a week he fought stubbornly against overwhelming odds, and so successfully that Saturday the physician in charge expressed hope of his survival. Sunday night, however, there occurred a relapse which resulted in his death. Drewery has for the last four years been the best all-round athlete at the W.Va. Collegiate Institute. For three years he has been an outstanding player on the Institute football team. He was one of the most spectacular and dashing halfbacks seen at Institute for several years. Besides being an outstanding football player, Drewery was even better at both basketball and baseball, being a star catcher and infielder. Last June, Drewery graduated from the secondary department of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. This year he entered the college department as a pre-medic student. He has been almost entirely self-supporting, working in the summer time around Bluefield, his home town, and continuing at some kind of work during the school year at the Institute. He was only twenty-one years of age. The funeral was held at the home of his father in Bluefield, West Virginia. There were present a large escort of his classmates and teammates from Collegiate Institute. Harry Wills, logical opponent for the crown now worn by Jack Dempsey, appeared on a monster charity affair, at the Commonwealth Club, New York City, Wednesday night. The benefit was arranged to bring Christmas cheer to Harlem's poor.

A Saint Paul Defeated by V. N. I. I. Team Saint Paul Defeated by V. N. I. I. Team (By J. L. Whitehead) Petersburg, Va., Dec. 8—In a game that roused several thousand spectators to a bedlam of shouts, shrieks and plain yells at McKenzie Street Park here today, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute through sheer strategy snatched a 7 to 6 victory form the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School. It was a titanic struggle that never had a dull moment, and when the final whistle indicated that the sixty minutes had vanished the opposing elevenes cheerfully trotted off the field with an untarnished recored for sportsmanship, with the sign of elation upon their brows, and with the sympathy, support and good-will of every sport lover who saw the clean manly and hard battle for 1923 foot ball honors. The 1923 football contain has closed. The game this afternoon between the Orange and Black and the Orange and Blue machines was a fitting climax to the greatest football season in the history of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Today marked the reopening of the friendly athletic relations between the two greatest rivals in the strongest and most progressive athletic organization among Negro schools. The Tigers unorked that baffling shift, and went right through the Hilltoppers' stalwart defensive from the 40 yard line with Parker, Collins, Walker and Lawyer Williams carrying the ball alternately, they rushed the pigskin for four first downs and a touchdown. Walker made 7 yards through his right tackle for the score. Walker's "try" for point by placement kick was blocked. St. Paul's fans went into ecstasy, but before those youthful, jubilant chants even echoed Virginia Normal had tied the score. Receiving the kick-off on his 10 yard line, Coles ran the ball back 28 yards. On the first play Turner went around his left end and, with an audacious four-men interference, he went on his memorable 62 yard journey for a touchdown. Coles scored the extra point by a 15-yard drop kick. St. Paul made 11 first downs, Virginia Normal 8; St. Paul attempted 9 forward passes, completed 3, intercepted 1. Virginia Normal attempted 13 forward passes, completed 6. St. Paul drew 10 yards in penalties, Virginia Normal drew 30 yards in penalties. St. Paul punted 13 times, Virginia Normal 11.

Strange indeed that national singles champions of both races should be at the bottom of tennis controversies. Happenings on the courts are responsible for the frowns wrought upon the champs by the officials. We wonder if Edgar Brown and Bill Tilden consider themselves bigger than the sport they represent. We have unofficial information that the Ranking Committee will not release the 1923 rankings because of the trouble at the championship events last August. Ever heard of anything more absurd? Not a half dozen presidents of our colleges have ever stopped to consider the question of athletics. Yet this question stands second to none in the college activities of today. The fact that over 15,000 Race football fans saw one game on Thanksgiving Day—just a meager portion of the aggregate throng that viewed other games—is ample proof of the greatness of athletics. Athletics is the college's best drawing card. Those colleges that have failed to encourage athletics are only heard of when appeals for charity are made for their benefit. Young men of today favor athletics and turn to the institutions that encourage it. Yet the college heads have never once stopped to consider what steps should be taken to encourage athletics or what should be done to curtail this branch of college life. The evils of athletics are increasing in the same proportion as the swelling popularity of the games; and it behooves the college president to be well posted in order that he may be able to meet any emergency.

LIVINGSTONE 2, JOHNSON C. SMITH 0. Salisbury, N.C., Dec. 10—Before some 2,000 enthusiastic followers of football, Livingstone met and defeated her ancient rival, Johnson C. Smith, (Biddle) University, to the tune of 2 to 0, on Livingstone's athletic field which was drenched by a continual downpour of rain. Livingstone scored early in the first quarter when she received the ball on her 20-yard line and by a series of plays, and a 3-yard punt placed the oval on Smith's 22-yard line.

Some one must start the argument as to who the best halfback, fullback, tackle etc., so it might as well be us. Selecting an all star eleven of the colored colleges of Texas is a mighty tough job, as there were more good football players in 1923 than all the years before. Competition was keener than ever before, and some of the best games ever played were witnessed in the Texas Conference this fall. The calibre of football played in Texas cannot be questioned, when among the names of the coaches appear such as Hucles of Virginia Union, Law of Lincoln, Gordon of Taladega, Collins of Iowa and H. J. Long of James Mulliken. Starting with the ends, Baker of Texas College is in a class to himself. He is a deadly tackler and the best man in the conference at catchin in forward passes, then too he can handle an opposing tackle with equal skill. Wheatley of Sam Huston gets the other end, being only a shade behind Baker in the real requirements of an end. R. Brown of Wiley, Oniel of Prarite View and Nicholas of Paul Quinn are other ends worthy of mention. Thomas of Wiley, the 165 pound dynamo, and Moragn of Paul Quinn, the 225 pound giant, get the tackle positions. Thomas is an untiring smart line man. What he lacks in weight, he makes up in speed and fight. He is one of the best blockers in the conference, goes down under pants with the ends and fights to the last whistle. "Shorty" Morgan is just about the most dangerous end runner in the conference and plays a great defensive game. W. Brown of Wiley, Flournoy of Bishop and Hunter of Prairie. View are next best. "Rolling Stone" Owens, the 185 pound Wiley lineman, is the best guard in Texas. His second year in football has proven him a terror to every team Wiley has met this fall. Posey of Bishop, whose regular position is tackle is placed at the other guard, as he is such a good lineman that he can hardly be let off the first selection. Asky of Sam Huston and Kirven of Paul Quinn are the second team choices, while Lott of Wiley and Jingles of Prairie View would be welcomed in the line of most any coach. Sanders of Paul Quinn and Dillion of Prairie View, far outclass the rest of the centers. Both are good passers and great offensive and defensive linemen. Sanders gets the slight edge over Dillion on account of weight and speed, and the fact that he outplayed the Prairie View star when the two met this year. Brownrigg of Bishop is third choice. Jermany of Bishop has the call at quarterback. Although the Bishop eleven had its most disasterous season in years, Captain Jermany played brilliantly and was the bright spot in Bishop's play. He is a triple threat man, also a great defensive star. Hines of Wiley, playing his first year in the backfield developed into one of the best field generals seen this fall. Lovinggood of Sam Huston has a great future on the gridiron. Thee halfback positions go to Ewell of Prairie View and Orange of Wiley. Ewell's work in the Paul Quinn and Wiley games was so sensational that he cannot be left off this selection. Orange of Wiley is one of the greatest punters in the game today. Weighing only 150 pounds this sensational punter gets off spirals that average fifty to fifty-five yards. He is also a fair line plunger, an accurate passer and a dependable dropkicker. Newton of Sam Huston, Thompson and Pollard of Prairie View, Redwine of Texas College, King of Bishop and Tinsley of Paul Quinn are splenial AMOS HOKUM HEY. WHADDAYA DOING THEM TEASPOONS IN Y POCKET? HUH, WHAT ADDAYA DOIN' WID POONS IN YER 'HUH, WHAT!?' THEM'S D YA'BIG S HEY, WHADDAYA DOIN' WID THEM TEASPOONS IN YER POCKET? HUH, WHAT!? COME BACK HERE WITH THEM SPOONS! THEM'S DOCTOR'S ORDERS, YA BIG SOUP SPILLER!! Sheppard of Paul Quinn is assigned to the fullback position. This stay is one of the best men that ever set foot on a football field. To tell the truth, there is nothing on the gridiron that Sheppard cannot do. Without doubt, he is the best dropkicker in the south and almost as good as a broken field runner. He can pass, punt, block and play a great defensive game. Sedberry, Sheppard's running mate at Paul Quinn gets the full back position on the second choice, being a great player and second only to Orange as a punter. Ford of Texas College, Martin of Prairie View and Walton of Sam Huston deserve mention for their remarkable work this fall. A backfield composed of Jermany Ewell, Orange and Sheppard would give any coach all he could wish for. Two brilliant triple threat men in Jermany and Sheppard, while Orange's punting and Elwell's speed would make this combination hard to beat. A line composed of Baker, Thomas, Posey, Sanders, Owens, Morgan and Wheatey would open great holes for these backfield stars and would furnish a mighty hard nut for opponents to crack. Harvey's Review of Southeastern Teams By B. T. Harvey, Director of Athletics Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. When I came south in the fall of 1916 to teach and coach at Morehouse College, I found in existence a loosely constructed Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, having an nominal members: Fisk, Talladega Knoxville, Tuskegee, Clark, Morris Brown, Atlanta, and Morehouse. Since that time even this more or less nebula organization has ceased to function in spirit or name, its last feeble efforts being in the form of questionaires sent out last year by Mr. Holloway of Talledega College. Never before has there been so many apparent needs of a Intercollegiate Athletic Association in this section of the country, as during the past season. Let me mention a few things this Association could do, that would have been of great help during the past season to contesting teams and the general public. 1. The certification and appointment of competent officials. 2. Review of decisions on technical points. 3. A definite and accurate assignment of the championship in all branches of sports. 4. Standards of eligibility and rules concerning migratory students. 6. Uniform contracts and strict adherence to same. Therefore as a result of these observations and personal conference I wish to suggest that the athletic representatives of the following Schools come together and form a Southeastern intercollegiate conference, namely; Alamaba State, Atlanta, Clark, Fisk, Konville, Morehouse, Morris Brown, Talladega, Tennessee State, and Tuskegee Institute. In line with the above suggestion, my review and selection of players has been based on these teams. The Southeast considers itself fortunate in welcoming to its midst two new coaches in Mr. Abbott of Tuskegee, and Mr. Kindle of Talledega. Both of these men brought their teams up to a high plane of efficiency this year, and finally on Thanksgiving, Mr. Abbott secured the edge as to success by defeating Talladega at Talladega 7-0. At the same time we regret to announce that Mr. Addison has resigned at Morris Brown and returned to Allen University. The season itself has been a series of upsets, with all teams showing remarkable defensive strength. On the whole the teams have shown better training in fundamentals. However, all teams have been guilty of costly fumbles, an inability to hold the ball on forward passes and when tackled city of costly hold the ball Street, Northwest, and children are located in their new home, 4432 Gulf Street, Northeast, Hillbrook, D. C. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923 champion, will be the cause of much debate, and four teams can boast of only one defeat, Morehouse, Fisk, Atlanta and Tuskegee. Morehouse won six games and lost to Fisk 6-0. Fisk won three games and lost to Atlanta University 18-8. Atlanta University won 6 games tied Tuskegee and lost to Morris Brown, 6-0, after the latter had been defeated by Talladega and Morehouse. Tuskegee won six games tied Atlanta University and lost to Morehouse 6-0. Pick the winner as you will. Atlanta University was the best threat from kick formation showed the best offensive and variety of attack, and with less fumbling would have presented a clean slate; as every score can be traced directly to an unfortunate fumble. Morris Brown had the best backfield shift and Talladega the best line shift shift. Tuskegee with Stevenson as a triple threat from kinck formation showed the team with the best ground gainer from kick formation. Alabama State showed wonderful improvement and will bear watching by all in 1924. Tennessee State did not show to advantage because of injuries, and physical condition of their coach. The All-Southern team has not been made from press reports but from actual observation of players pitted against each other in their respective positions. I have already seen one All-American team with a man on it who did not get in but two games this year. Only one man named has not been seen in action this year and I have decided on him by a process of elimination, and observation of coaches of teams who have met him this season. Allow me to say a word before naming the teams this year, concerning men whom I have chosen in other years and are still playing. I am thinking especially of Leek, Gayles, Long,Boss, and others. I wish to commend them for their valiant attempts to stem the onrushing tide of youth in their respective positions. They have done well, but the old order changeth giving place to the new. 1st.

CHARLESTON "HI" 28; Charleston, W. Va., Dec. 8—Gridders of the Washington, D. C., Armstrong colored high school were defeated by a 28-0 score in a post-season game with Garnet, colored high school of Charleston, here today. Garnett scored three touchdowns on straight football and a fourth one through the air. Honesty and Allen were Armstrong stars. Gallion, Davis and Cain were Garnett's best bets. Garnett ..... 7 14 7 0—28 Armstrong ..... 0 0 0 0—0 Pindle Elected Captain By P. Bernard Young, Jr. Hampton, Va., Dec. 13—After meeting the requirements with regard to the number of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association games participated in, and after showing the necessary skill in playing their various positions, the following students have been awarded the letter "H" in football at Hampton Institute; Adee C. Butler, Memphis, Tenn., guard; W. Warrick Cardozo, Washington, D. C., fullback; Theodore T. Coleman, Cumbland, Va., tackle and captain for the 1923 season; Thomas J. Coleman, Memphis, Tenn., guard; David L. Gunn, Stockbridge, Mass., halfback; Herbert Hardwick, Savannah, Ga., halfback; Edward Hargrove, New York City, halfback; Bertrand C. Jacobs, Pittsfield, Mass, quarterback; James H. Jones, Boston, Mass., end; Oscar A. Pindle, South Boston, Va., center and captain-elect for the 1924 season; Arthur R. Ruffin, Cauthronsville, Va., end; J. Spencer Ruffin, Cauthronsville, Va., tackle; James P. Taylor, Montgomery, Ala., tackle; and William D. Williams, Tulsa, Okla., fullback. PINDLE ELECTED CAPTAIN At a meeting held at the Hampton Institute Gymnasium, the letter men elected Oscar A. Pindle to lead them into the fray next year. He is a good student and a wonderful player and leader. The sport writers and others who have watched Pindle play declare him the greatest center of the season. In all the games of this season his perfect passing, his aggressiveness, his splendid defensive playing, and his all-round versatility marked him as the most probable all association selection for center. Indeed, no center this season has outplayed him. Kentucky Normal Opens with Two wins Frankfort, Ky.—Kentucky Normal opened the basketball season here Friday Night by winning a big double header from the Lightning Five of Paris, Ky., and the Clinton Street High Girls of Frankfort. The girls' game was the first staged and was won by Normal with Capt. Bert Deering starring. The team was somewhat handicapped by the absence of Babe Robinson, Normal's star guard, but won, 13-2. The boys' game started off like a cyclone and for a while looked like anyones' game, finally the blue and white got together and at the finish' were leading 26-8. Peyton did good work for the Bluegrass netmen while Capt. Booker, Cox, Cotty and Hines starred for Normal. Kentucky Normal is making great preparations for the big game with Wilberforce at Lexington, Ky., Friday December 21st. The Normal Girls will clash with the Dunbar High of Lexington as the other attraction for this night. These games will be played in the large Dunbar High Gym and two great games are expected. CRUDOP TO LEAD LIONS At a meeting of the varsity men of the Lincoln "Lions," Crudop, star end for the past three seasons, was elected captain for 1924. In a very slow and uninteresting game, the Roamer A. C. of Alexandria defeated the Mozart A. C. of the same city, 14 to 6, on last Sunday. This game marks the Roamers' last game of the season. L. Johnson, half-back for the Mozarts, made the lone touchdown for his team when he intercepted a forward pass and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. BUFFALOES AND ALL-STARS TIE The Buffalo A. C. of Washington, journeyed to Alexandria on last Sunday and dead-locked the Virginia All-Star football team of that city in a 6-0 tie. The game was very interesting and was played on a field of mud.

Mr. Cohen's name was sent to the Senate by the late President Harding last winter, but on objections from the two senators from Louisiana, was not confirmed; however, after Congress adjourned, he was given a recess appointment. Just whether the Senate will observe a senatorial courtesy in this case as it did in the case of Henry Lincoln Johnson could not be learned. The president also sent the name of Charles W. Anderson of New York City to be collector of internal revenue for the third district of that city. Mr. Anderson was first appointed by Mr. Harding. So far, Cohen and Anderson are the only Negroes nominated by President Coolidge for federal offices. EDITED by GEORGE S.

Our ubly according to our population, with the that the number of deaths—205 to 295—is f in an ordinary month. Let us find ths condition at once. The first message read by President Coolidge, before Congress last week, may be summed up as a standpat, reactionary one, bidding for the Republican nomination in 1924 and toadying to Wall Street for its support. The President fails to express any sympathetic interest in the deplorable agricultural situation. No remedy was offered to relieve the suffering inhabitants from the high coal prices, high freight rates, higher rents and wholesale profiteering and the mounting high cost of living. The reaction must be felt when the popular vote is cast next fall. Tax reduction caters to the rich and is not going to help the poor man, but will be a relief to those who are more able to pay taxes. A complete surrender to Wall Street, that is all. The section devoted to the Negro, as printed in The Tribune last week, is vague and indefinite. Speaking of colored people, the President said: "Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people. Under our Constitution their rights are just as sacred as those of any other citizen. It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights." This demonstrates that the President recognizes his public duty. We are patiently waiting for the President, as chief executive of the Constitution, which he has sworn to enforce, to discharge that duty in the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment. In doing this, the President will practice his recognition of the colored people's rights and in the meantime give them the weapon with which to strike the lynching evil. As chief executive of the United States, the President can issue an executive order, eliminating all segregation in the federal departments at once, and give the Negro equal opportunity for appointment to clerkships and other positions for which he is fitted. This, Mr. President, would prove far better than words, that YOU "recognize and protect those rights." The Negro is not getting, nor has he gotten, equal opportunity in the federal positions since McKinley's administration, when segregation was first introduced here in the departments. May we hope for action, Mr. President? 45 MORE DEATHS THAN BIRTHS IN NOVEMBER According to the reports sent out by the Health Department of the District of Columbia, there were 205 deaths among the colored people during November and 295 among the whites. The registration of births show 160 colored and 466 whites. There were 151 more births than deaths among the whites; while 45 more deaths than births were registered among the colored people. This is an alarming condition that should attract the attention of the health authorities, the local colored medical association (if there is such an organization) and every Negro organization that has the interests of the race at heart. Forty-five more deaths than births among the colored people of Washington, in one month. Who will locate this cause and suggest the remedy? The race cannot multiply and make progress when it is losing more members by death than it is producing by births. And this in the most highly cultured group of Negroes in the World. What is the answer to this condition? Does it mean that all of our births are not recorded? Is it the result of poor medical attention? Is it the result of poor housing conditions? The Tribune is interested in every phase of the progress of the race. We are calling the attention of the public to this condition, for we fear that little attention is given to the reports of the Health Department. With three times as many whites as colored in the District, there are less than a hundred deaths more among the whites than among colored. This is out of all proportion. Our births compare favorably according to our population, with the whites: 160 to 466. But the number of deaths—205 to 295—is far too great a proportion in an ordinary month. Let us find the cause and remedy this condition at once.

Quite a number of Negroes from the South have been in Washington this week, in the interest of the restoration of the former basis of representation in the National Republican Convention which will meet in Cleveland in 1924. The most of them came more than a thousand miles. The action of the Republican National Committee in 1921, when it reapportioned the number of delegates for the 1924 convention, cutting down Southern representation by 32, was evidence enough that the Republicans are tired of carrying the colored brother and wish to be rid of him. In the face of that plain slap in the face, Roscoe C. Simmons stood for an hour Monday pleading with the sub-committee of the National Committee, to "please take me back." In pleading his loyalty, he said; "If you vote me down, I am with you; if you shut me out, I am with you. I am not one of the Negroes who feel that I have paid my debt to the Republican party." Such childish, Uncle Tom rubbish is sickening to listen to. But what of the Southern delegates to the National Convention? What does the Negro delegate accomplish? Why run after folks when they do not want you? Link Johnson, Perry Howard, Bob Church and their gang have controlled colored delegates from the South for the past twenty-five years and, what have they accomplished? What the Negro of the South needs is the ballot first and then delegates. The cart is before the horse. Link Johnson, Perry Howard et al are controlling the delegates and getting the rake off therefrom. The Negroes are suffering. Give the Negro the ballot and then delegates will count for something. MYSTERY IN NEW BURTON KING PICTURE Have you ever been the center of a plot? If not, you should surely see Wilfred Lytell, who is the center of the plot in "The Fair Cheat" coming to the Broadway Theatre beginning Sunday. While Lytell is the center of the plot, he is not the whole center of the story. The plotters, Dorothy Mackall and Edmund Breese take their share of the picture. The story concerns a beautiful girl, daughter of a millionaire and her wedding to a penniless young man. --- PAGE SIX 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, 1929.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1923 THE FASHION WEEK MARIAN ANDERSON IMPORTANT TO CHOIRS Send in your Christmas musical programs not later than Tuesday, December 18th for publication, to the Editor of the Forum, 1911 Ninth St., Northwest. MARIAN ANDERSON, CONTRALTO, TO SING HERE Marian Anderson, known throughout the breadth of the land as one of the most wonderful contraltos of this or any other race, comes in the third recital of the "Artists' Course" series at the Lincoln Theatre. Wednesday January 16, 1924. Strange as it may seem, though undoubtedly logically, the door of opportunity is, gradually widening to musicians of color who through native ability and training are deemed worthy to enter its portals. Like Cornella Lampton, appearing with the Chicago Symphony and Roland Hayes with the Boston Symphony, now enters another race artist breaking into the hitherto closed "charmed music circle" of leading international artists of other races, Miss Marian Anderson, who will appear as soloist with the Philharmonic Society of Philadelphia at its second concert on December 16. Thus, one by one, the barriers of caste are being shattered by weapons of art alone. The announcements of the Philharmonic Society, Inc., of Philadelphia, contains the following comments: "Philadelphia's distinguished Negro contralto will appear as soloist with the Philharmonic Society of Philadelphia at its second concert, Sunday evening, December 16. Miss Anderson possesses a remarkable contralto voice. After an appearance in Philadelphia, Fullerton Waldo, Music Critic of the Public Ledger, wrote: 'Her program contained nothing weak or unworthy, and she brought to it a serious and conscientious disposition as well as a voice of exceptional resonance and richness in its lower register. The technical particulars of intonation, enunciation, sustained legato, voice-playment and breath control are admirable, and the audience appreciated to the full, the rare promise of this worthy representative of musical Philadelphia.' Mr. H. E. Cherrington of the Columbus Dispatch, said: 'It is one of those gorgeous contraltoes of unusual breath and richness of quality. She has the vocal substance to be one of the great singers of her (Pupil of Madame Leschetizky, Paris, France) CLYDE L. GLASS PIANIST-TEACHER Phone North 2637 1911 9th St., N.W. WELLINGTON A.

CORNELIA LAMPTON TRIUMPHS IN PIANO PROGRAM "Possesses Great Possibilities" Says Edward Droop of Droop's Music House Music is a glorious ship on the ocean of art; emotion is the breeze that fills the sail; intellect is the skilled hand at the wheel and the muse with that hand is Cornelia Lampton! Washington music lovers were allowed an unusual combination of treat Wednesday afternoon, with beautiful playing and exquisite contrast in program. She gave one of the finest piano recitals possibly heard in this city for many years and it was a complete personal triumph for the soloist. Bach-Busoni's "Toccata and Fugue, D minor" opened the program impressing with its flowing animated rapid movement, alternating with the contrapuntal, free and bold in style. Of all the works of the great Leipzig cantor this makes the most show, but beyond that, little to recommend it. Yet at the same time, there are moments in it, that are effective and interesting, and an excellent technique was evident. Then followed Beethoven's "Rondo a Capriccia, G major" presenting the initial subject with recurring episodes in its development of the melody in a cheerful pleasing style with marked rhythm and an expressive sort of beauty. It was exquisitely played. We next listened to Chopin, the poet par excellence, "The Raphael of Music," whose works possess formal beauty and symmetry and rare techie. Here she penetrated deep into the inner harmonies in "Etude, C minor" carrying wonderment, joy and rare satisfaction to those assembled to hear her, beneath her magic fingers she awakened the purest melody. Her massive chords and rapid octave passages were delightfully done. In "Etude, E major" there's a subtle theme, dreamlike, songlike, velvet-like tone interpreted in fine form with an infinite variety of shadings, manifesting perfection of form and delicacy in touch. Her dynamics were wonderfully done, softening her last tones to a gentle whisper of utter tenderness and expressive beauty. Miss Lampton reached a climax in the brilliant "Scherzo, C Sharp minor" which was her masterpiece. Her tone was powerful but full and rich and showed that the soloist possesses a finely balanced sense of color and of tonal beauty. Her clear-cut technique fairly dazzled the audience and held them spell-bound. A scherzo is one of the most characteristic, graceful and effective art forms. She was heartily enced and responded with a dainty melody. Percy Grainger, the Australian pianist, a British subject, known chiefly for his settings of Folk tunes such as the "Trish Tune from County Derry" was ably represented in a number which was charming in its quaintness. Grainger's "Gum sucker's March" was brilliantly executed with a martial air, cheerful and snappy in character. But the "Lullaby (A Tribute to Foster)" by Grainger was possibly the sweetest thing heard during the afternoon. With wonderful left-hand dexterity interlocking the right with delicate trills, sublime harmonies reaching out from under a soothing melody that finally faded away into the merest pianissimo that tingered, this Lullaby touched the hearts of a sympathetic gathering who applauded insistently following the rendition and again she bowed and bowed and finally relented by giving another encore number. Debussy, one of the best morden French composers was next represented in his "Ballade," which is an extended piano piece of song-like character inspired by old Polish legends and was given with rare interpretation. Debussy's fame has come largely through his success in leaving beaten paths and making new melodies and harmonies that have a new flavor. Some of his effects are very beautiful such as the "Ballade" number. The "Concert Etude" by Liszt, the most brilliant of all pianists and a remarkable composer was heard in the closing group. In this etude, of particular technical difficulty, the pianist rose to still greater heights of brilliance. She closed her program with "Tarantelle (Venezia e Napoli)" by Liszt, a piece of Italian character with mode alternating between major and minor with gradual increasing speed, rapid, bold and brilliantly executed. It was really facinating to see how her fleet fingers toyed with those ivory keys in such difficult passages of marvelous technic, wonderful velocity, astonishing thrills, runs given with the rapidity of a single illusive flash, of music and maintained amazingly at a vital tempo, massive chords and caressing octave passages all done to a nicety. That is Cornella Lampton, an attractive and gracious personality with unfinishing nerves and a genius for accuracy of detail. Wild applause swept the house as she finished "Tarantelle" and she again smilingly responded with a rendition that closed the program in a blaze of glory. Miss Lampton possessed a keen analysis of the compositions she reproduced and gave a clear and distinct understanding of the various composer's works, painting tone colors with sublimity. There is emotion, there is intelligence in this great artist whose nature combines a blending of the soul and brain, accompanied by faultless technique resultnig in the highest attainable perfection and artistic beauty. A high rank must be assigned this musician who distinguishes herself in art by a genius for interpretation so rare in such soulful and delectable beauties of harmonic expression. Meantime the "Artist Course" committee scores! ADVERTISE IN The Washington Tribune A Christmas Pageant The Metropolitan Dramatic Club of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M Street, between 15th and 16th Streets, Northwest, Rev. Chas. E. Stewart, pastor, will present a Christmas Pageant-Drama, with music, "The Word and the Way" Thursday evening December 27, at eight o'clock. This is the story of the prophecies and of the Birth of Christ as arranged by Miss Bess Davis Shreiner, who is connected with the Theater Arts Society of Washington, D. C. The play includes three symbolic scenes: 1. Prelude, The Beginning of Time. "Let There Be Light." 2. Interude. The Passing of Time. "They That Walk in Darkness." 3. Finale. Fulfillment of Time. "Arise, Shine for the Light is Come." Critics have agreed that this is one of the most pretentious and beautiful dramatic pageants ever produced in this country. This is the first presentation of this play to a colored audience and will be under the personal discussion of Prof. Montgomery Gregory, Instructor of Dramatic Art at Howard University. The music will be in charge of Prof. Henry Grant of Dunbar High School.

A. Busy Newcomer Dean Editor: It seems as though every week I become more and more interested in the "Children's Page" especially in the Negro history questions. I am not able to write you about the picture because I have not been as yet. When one occurs suitable I hope to go and see it and write you about it. Mother does not allow me to go and see any kind of picture. I have to wait until something comes out suitable and interesting for me. Recently I saw "Scaramouche" which I enjoyed very much. I learned very much about the French Revolution which will help me in school as I will soon be to it in my history. I have encouraged several children to become members of the "Children's Page" since I became one. For instance, Evelyn Smith living at 740 Howard Ave.; Thelma Wilson, 754 Howard Ave.; and Valerie E. Parks, who is going to write you this week. She lives at 2442 Nicholas Ave., S.E. Hereafter, at least once every month, I will make it my duty to secure at least one new member to our number.

I am in the 7-B Grade. My address is 1138 Howard Avenue. This is the first chance that I have had to write to you. I think that I shall continue to write to you. Mother Likes the Page Dear Editor: I am still interested in the "Children's Page." My mother says she thinks it's a very interesting page. I hope all of the Tribunites are well. Lorretta has a Word Dear Editor: My mother takes the Tribune every week and I read the "Children's Page." There is a lot of nice reading in it. I go to Mott School in the 3-A grade. Life of Booker T. Washington Dear Editor: My name is Evelyn Smith and I have written to you many times. I am the girl who came to the office last Saturday reading the book of "Booker T. Washington." You asked me to write and tell you something about his life, but I will not start this week. I will have to write to you several times before I can finish telling about him, because the story is so long. EVELYN SMITH (13) Dear Evelyn, the part of your letter telling me of the picture you saw at the Dunbar Theatre was very interesting.—G. L. F. Wants to Become a Tribunite Dear Editor: I am very much interested in the "Children's Page" of the Washington Tribune. I would like very much to become a member of the page. I go to Banneker School. I am in the 6-A grade. My teacher is Miss S. Spencer. My home is at 131 S St., N.W. Susie Has Written Before Dear Editor: I am very much interested in the letters in the "Children's Page."

Lena Keeps a Scrapbook Dear Editor: I keep a "Children's Page" scrapbook. From this book I have selected an article from an old issue of the page. Please publish it again. I never tire of the page. I hope it will never stop being a part of the Tribune. Love to all the Tribunites. The clipping follows. I am glad that you published it, because it has meant so much to me. Perhaps it will be of interest to some children who did not see it when it was first published. Independence PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" I thank you in advance for publishing it. LENA RYDER (14) CHICKENS AND PIGEONS On a poultry farm one is apt to see many different kinds of poultry, such as geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens guineas and pigeons. My favorites are chickens and pigeons. Chickens are common everywhere. I am more familiar with the Dominiques and Rhode Island Reds than with any other. The largest quantity of eggs that I have seen a hen hatch is about fifteen. Eggs take three weeks to hatch. When the small chickens come they have down all over them, and they will let one handle them more so than the larger ones will. While the chickens are young it is very difficult for any one to bother them without being pecked at by the mothen, because she is very hateful. Chickens are very nice pets to have—but better still when they are on the table ready to be eaten. I love pigeons better than I do chickens. NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER write a letter using words in it of which you do not know the meaning. If you do not know, how to spell a word, turn to your dictionary. Form the habit of being correct. Perhaps when you get older you may have formed the habit of writing letters, using words which you may take a chance on being spelled right. Such a letter may be sent to a person who could aid you in getting employment. If your letter was badly worded, or the words badly spelled, it would make a bad impression upon the person to whom you sent it. Use your dictionary NOW, in the days of your youth and in after years you will not regret it. A PET KITTY By Thelma Mason (? ) I am a kitty of yellow and white, I am very handsome, so my mistress says. I must admit that I am very fond of her. She lets me play mother with her. She pretends that I am her child, so she puts me up in the doll's bed. I have lots of fun with my little mistress. Well, this is my bed time now, I will write more next time, Much love to you all.

ALEXANDRIA Alexandria, Va., Dec. 14.—Leon Smith's Aeolian Orchestra is creating quite a sensation in Washington and in near-by towns as a result of the high standard of music which they are rendering. They played several popular numbers at the Lincoln Theatre last Friday night, and according to the many favorable comments heard, highly pleased the Lincoln patrons. In addition to their musical numbers, Mr. Roberson, their cornetists. ALEXANBRIA, VA., NEWS Alexandria Agency 803 South Fairfax Street Phone 1398-J Certain local stores send out letters to prospective patrons from time to time. To the colored people the letters never bear the title of Mr., Mrs., or Miss. Neither do these merchants address Negro patrons other than by their first names, or as auntie, uncle, Dick or Mary. For years it has been a custom for the average Negro to tolerate this habit. It is now time that we should resent it. If you deal with a merchant who does not show you business courtesy—then go to the merchant who does. If we all decide to boycott the discourteous merchants they will eventually do what is right. Don't let us think that we can't demand respect, nor think that the white merchants will not give to us the courtesy which our patronage and money demands. Parent-Teacher meeting will be held at the Parker-Gray School on Tuesday night at 7:45 o'clock. Business of importance. All members and non-member parents and teachers are urged to attend.

Needless to say, he won the first prize. It is the consensus of opinion that Smith's band must be considered whenever the question of good music is discussed. Mr. Smith is a local product. He attended old Snowden School. Later he became interested in music, study-delia Boyd, Mrs. Wm. A. Warfield. Mrs. Annihid Pride, Mrs. Robt. B.
