HOWARD UNIV. APPROPRIATION THREATENED IN CONGRESS Howard Officials Will Ask Senate to Restore $207,000 Cut Off by Byrnes in House First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 35 HOWARD Howard O Senate to Cut Off ACTION IS THIRD ATTEMPT IN THE LAST 9 YEARS ACTION IS THIRD ATTEMPT IN THE LAST 9 YEARS Precedent Points to Restoration of Items in the Senate Statistical Data on Rep. Byrnes' District Congressional District of Representative James F. Byrnes, Second District, South Carolina (Census 1910). Counties Negro Pop. Per cent Aiken ..... 22,850 54.6 Bamberg ..... 12,874 69.4 Barnwell ..... 24,647 72.0 Beaufort ..... 26,376 86.9 Edgefield ..... 20,114 71.1 Hampton ..... 16,120 64.2 Saluda ..... 11,189 53.4 *Since 1910 Allendale County has been created out of Barnwell County; and Jasper County created out of part of Beaufort and Hampton. (Statistics for 1920 census, not available). Mr. Byrnes, according to the above table taken from the U. S. Census reports, comes from a district where 67.3 of the people are denied the right to vote. Instead of being a representative, he is a mis-representative and holds his office in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution. On point of order made by Representative James Francis Byrnes, of the Second District of South Carolina, that there was no authority for the appropriation, the entire annual appropriation for Howard University, with the exception of one item for $157,000, was stricken from the Department of Interior bill on last Tuesday on the floor of the House. The total amount of the items stricken from the bill on these points of order amounted to $207,000. This is the third time such action has been taken by Southern Congressmen. The first instance occurred in 1915; the second in 1919. Representative Byrnes used the address on the subject, "What is the trouble with the Christianity of Today?" delivered by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, a trustee of Howard and pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church of this city, at the Convocation held at the University last November 30th, as the prelude to his points of order. Byrnes objected to this address because of the sentiments expressed in it. He described the sermon as ingesting and teaching hatred of the white people. While the University appropriation has been stricken from the bill, all hopes are not lost by Howard officials. The bill will go from the House to the Senate. It is there that the Howard people are looking with a ray of hope that the Senate Appropriation Committee will restore the items as was done in 1915 and 1919. The Senate Committee which holds the fate of Howard's appropriation is composed of Senators: Reed Smoot, Nevada; Charles Curtis, Kansas; Selden P. Spencer, Missouri; Lawrence C. Phipps, Colorado; William B. McKinley, Illinois—Republicans; William J. Harris, Georgia; Andrieus A. Jones, New Mexico; Kenneth McKellar, Tennessee; M. M. Neely, West Virginia—Democrats. These Senators compose the sub-committee in charge of the Department of Interior appropriations. While public sentiment is rapidly crystallizing for the forthcoming fight to have the items restored, sentiment is also solidly behind the remarks made by Rev. Grimke in his address, The Washington Tribune UNIV. A Officials W Restore $ f by Byrne History of Howard's Appropriation in 1915 and 1919 in 1915 and 1919 The appropriation for Howard for 1915 was carried under the Sundry Civil Bill. Representative Thomas U. Sisson (deceased) of Mississippi made a point of order against the items because it was legislation on an appropriation bill. He was sustained by the Speaker of the House, Champ Clark. When the bill went to the Senate, Senator Hardwick of Georgia made the same point of order but was overruled by Vice-President Thos. R. Marshall. The items were restored. In 1919, the appropriation was reported to the house during the first session under the Sundry Civil bill. Representative Raggsdale of South Carolina made the same point of order that was made by Sisson, which was sustained by the Speaker of the House. When the bill reached the Senate Senators Warren and Smoot restored the items and no further objections were made. Note: Representative Raggsdale, who opposed the appropriation, is the Representative who it was alleged was killed during the riot here of 1919. His death was mysterious. It was alleged he was shot through the head. could excerpts from which else in this article. Rev. Grimke stated to a Tribune reporter that he stood absolutely and unqualifiedly behind his address. He further stated that while he regretted the action of the House, he could not in any way compromise a principle. If it means a choice between the appropriation and a principle, he stated he would choose the principle. In the above expression Rev. Grimke has expressed the solid view of the great mass of Negroes living in the United States. Negroes voters throughout the country have cast their eyes on their Senators and will closely watched the action of the Republican leaders. The only item for Howard which remained in the bill as it passed the house, was the item for $197,000 for the completion of the building authorized last year to be used as an assembly hall, gymnasium, armory, and the drill and athletic field. While this item was vigorously fought by the Southern Representatives, the Chairman of the Committee of the whole failed to sustain the point of order, because the total amount of the cost ($197,000) was authorized last year, but only $40,000 was then appropriated to start building and field. The item of $157,000 allowed this year is to complete the construction. The Occurrences in the House Just what happened on the floor of the House is thus recorded in the Congressional Record: Mr. BLAANTON. Then we get down to the Howard University. We give them in this paragraph $125,000, and then $35,000 more, and $9,000 more, and then $157,500 more, and then $3,500 more, and $20,000 more, anw $15,000 more, a total for this year for Howard University of $365,000—purely a local institution here in Washington, which $365,000 is taken 100 per cent out of the United States Treasury. Mr. McKEOWN. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. BLANTON. In just a moment. Mr. McKEOWN. I just wanted to know if there were any parks in that appropriation. Mr. BLANTON. No; but I must proceed. We have approximately 110,000 Negroes in Washington. This Howard University is to care for them It is a local Washington responsibility, and I want to say to you gentlemen from the North that whenever you intimate to them that the southern man is not the friend of the colored man, you remember this. This Howard University during past years has had millions of dollars appropriated WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 ADDRESS BY REV.

Yet we have made no such points of order, and allowed each year the appropriation to remain in the bill by the sufferance of the southern Congressman who have been willing for these appropriations to be made for the education of these colored people. But let me show you how careless the people of Washington are concerning this Howard University. The general education board of New York proposed to Washington last year that the general education board would give $250,000 to the medical department of Howard University in Washington if they would raise $250,000 to offset it, thus raising for them $500,000 needed for their medical department. Washington people had a meeting down here before the chamber of commerce. It was my privilege to attend that meeting. I heard distinguished speakers here get up and tell the Chamber of Commerce of Washington about the 2,000 pupils out there in Howard University who were spending in this great city $1,000 apiece on an average each year, which made a total of $2,600,000 that was spent in Washington for the Washington mcreamants and business men to enjoy and get rich upon and get the full benefit of; and do you think they would raise the other $250,000? No; I want to show you just what Washington contributed. I have the report here from the Howard University showing that of that $250,000 the District of Columbia subscribed only $47,221.35. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Texas has expired. Mr. BLANTON. Mr. Chairman. I ask permission to proceed, for two more minutes. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Texas asks unanimous consent to proceed for two additional minutes. Is there objection? (After a pause) The Chair hears none. Mr. BLANTON.

Court Sustains Mrs. Savoy in Suit Against Mother and Sister Crossland Holds on by Thread Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, who recently returned to this city from the Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee, is holding en to his job only by a thread, so to speak. Dr. Crossland was told he would have to resign or make certain apologies. In order to give himself time to think over the matter, he asked for a thirty-day leave, but was only granted two and one-half days. The Veterans' Bureau here stated Friday that Crossland had not as yet resigned, but intimated that the doctor would know his fate in a couple of days. Meanwhile, Dr. Crossland is rounding up all the Congressional influence he possibly can. Attorney John E. Collins Passes Away Attorney John E. Collins Passes Away Atty. John E. Collins, for twenty years a prominent lawyer here, died last Wednesday afternoon at Freedmen's Hospital. Funeral services will be held, Sunday, from Ebenezer Baptist Church, Baltimore, Md. Mr. Collins had been ill for some time. He was a prominent member of the Elks of this city. His body lay in state at the Elks' Home here on Friday; prior to its shipment to Baltimore. He was never married. DURKEE DEPLORES ACTION Washington Star, Jan. 30. Commenting today on the action of the House yesterday, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, said it was difficult to understand how the entire university could be held accountable for a speech delivered on the college campus before members of an institution which receives no money nor support from the government and which is entirely independent of the university itself. Co-operation the Basic Principal of Life Insurance This is the second of a series of twenty-six articles on Life Insurance and the aims and history of The Federal Life Insurance Co. 1937 Eleventh Street Northwest. The History of civilization is the story of an endless struggle in which every instant of time separating the cradle from the grave is made up of conflict. The greatest contest of all life has been, from time immemorial, the struggle for existence, better existence under better conditions than heretofore. Broadly speaking the world's problem has been and is now, How to accumulate something from which to satisfy, for more than a day, that dire necessity which stands always at hand. In the early days of human progress Man sought to solve this problem thru physical conquest: He had for his working tools only his brain, his hands and his senses and with these he waged war upon his fellowmen and beasts. Crude indeed were his methods of conquest and dearly bought was each advance in progress. Progress was slow because man, even tho he had common enemies and common interests, has never been able to understand him- self and his fellows. When man met other men, there seemed always to be the same hostility that Nature has fixed between men and beasts. They accumulated power and then used it to destroy each other. They discovered truth, and then used it for the extermination of their fellows. And when there dawned upon them a glimmer of a great truth, they erected this into a revelation from God, building on it great systems of reli-igion; and then these systems came into conflict, and thereupon arose such fighting, such woe, such loss, as, let us hope, we shall never see again. And thus man progressed; ever lighting toward enlightened ideals, ever seeking better methods and progressive trends. Thus it is no wonder that when the idea of co-operation arose, like a beckoning star over the horizon of strife, man seized it in eager grasp. Out of this new form of concentration there came a new and better form of co-operation combining the essentials of co-operation by force with courtesy, mercy, real charity and positive help- (Continued on page 3) Office: 920 U St., N.W. used by Race Men purchased by Negro financiers recently. y in er and Sister A family torn asunder by strife and jealousy is the story of the Turner family, residing at 1755 U Street Northwest, as revealed in the District Supreme Court this week. The case of Savoy vs. Turner and White disclosed the tragic scene of mother against daughter; sister against sister; twin against twin; blood against blood. Suit was brought last summer by Mrs. Valorie Turner Savoy against her mother, Mrs. Hortense Turner of 1755 U Street Northwest and her twin sister, Mrs. Vermell Turner-White of Salisbury, Md., to force htem to sell the premises at 1755 U Street and give her (Mrs. Savoy) her one-third equity. After hearing the case, Justice Bailey, sitting in Equity, last Tuesday rendered a verdict in favor of Mrs. Savoy. The case reveals the story of mother fighting single handed to raise her twin girls to maturity and to keep them in luxury. It is a story of a battle won in the home but lost in the court. In August, 1918 while returning to Washington from New York, Mrs. Turner, with her two daughters decided they would like to own a beautiful home. Having been derserted by her husband, George W. Turner, a well-to-do and prominent barber of this city over 15 years ago, Mrs. Turner, in co-operation with her two girls, according to testimony, decided that they would purchase a home together, each owning one-third interest. The premises 1755 U Street, was purchased for $5,000. The Turners moved in and all went well for awhile. Vermell married a Dr. White of Salisbury, Md., in May, 1921. This wedding was the outstanding social event of the year. As a wedding present, Mrs. Turner gave her daughter a check for $1000. Because of this gift, it is alleged that Mrs. Turner was dismissed from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. A year later, in April 1922, Miss Valorie married Dr. Walter S. Savoy of this city, but the marriage was not announced until September of that year. Mrs. Turner divided the house, 1755 U Street, into three parts; giving Mrs. Savoy the first floor; Mrs. Turner taking the second floor, and Mrs. White the third. Mrs. Savoy and Mrs. Turner lived in their apartments. Mrs. White, who lived in Maryland, rented her apartment out. Each of the three paid, according to Mrs. Savoy's testimony, one-third of all expenses. All went well until Thanksgiving day, 1922, when, according to court (Continued on page 5) Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents SANHEDRIN TO MEET ENTIRELY SEPARATE FROM LINCOLN LEAGUE Dean Kelly Miller Outlines Program for Big Conference By Kelley Miller As the time approaches for the assembly of the All-Race Conference in Chicago, from February 11th to 15, the prospects become brighter and brighter. About forty national organizations will be represented by accredited delegates. These involve every kind and description of organized effort now functioning in the field of racial endeavor. The Local Committee in Chicago has taken hold of the immediate arrangements in that city with energy and enthusiasm. Much concern is expressed lest the movement become ennured in the meshes of partisan politics. The committee can assure the public that there is not the slightest danger that any sinister political influence will be allowed to invade its precints. Every effort was made to set the meeting far enough ahead of political activities looking to the ensuing campaign to ward off this inevitable suspicion. The meeting was first set for the first week in November, but the vast amount of work necessary to arrange the preliminary details made postponement necessary. It happens unfortunately that an organization of a purely political character will meet in the same city at the same time. Innumerable queries reach me concerning the reason for this strange juxtaposition. The fixing of the time and place of the Sanhedrin took place last September and the results were broadly announced throughout the press. The committee would have been glad to make an adjustment of dates so as to avoid overlapping, if there had been opportunity to do so. I do not see that there is any likelihood of interference function or outcome. It would be an unseemly spectacle if the first real serious attempt to bring the race together on a comprehensive plan should be hindered by any semblance of counter irritation. The Sanhedrin Program The program of the Sanhedrin as announced in the press reveals the general aim and plan of the conference. It does not overlap the sphere and function of any constituent organization of which it is composed, but is comprehensive of them all. In illustration, we do not discuss agitation against specific evils as is done by the N.A.A.C.P. or the Equal Rights League, but the function of agitation in our racial welfare. Instead of advising political alignment and partisan demands, we shall consider the political factor in the racial equation. The idea of unity runs like a thread throughout the program. It is the thought of the committee to organize commissions on the basic topics into which our racial interests are naturally divided, and to have these commissions deliberate throughout the sessions and to formulate in the simplest and tersest terms the creed for the race on the topic presented. The results of these several commissions will be assembled and consolidated by a general committee and published in a permanent and enduring form. Of course the conference will formulate and direct its own proceedings. The addresses set in the program are intended merely to guide the thought and regulate the procedure. The Sanhedrin is to be a conference, and not merely a display of oratory. The names listed on the program will not necessarily contribute most to the conference. The comparative failure of many of our meetings grows out of our too great reliance on oratory rather than careful thought and deliberation.

Mr. CRAMTON. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. BLANTON. I yield gladly. Mr. CRAMTON. The gentleman is aware, I assume, that the contributions he has referred to, both in the District of Columbia and in the several States, were almost entirely by colored persons, chiefly alumni of the institution. Mr. BLANTON. Oh, no; I do not think so; but if that is true, it is a disgrace to the District of Columbia. I want to say that there are three big colleges in my home city of Abilene, Tex.: Simmon's College, McMurray College, and the Abilene Christian College—and every one of them has been built partly by the generous subscriptions of the Abilene people of my home city. They have usually subscribed dollar for dollar in the building extensions of these big colleges that have been established in my home city. They do it because they want the colleges and also because it is a business proposition. It is worth something to a city to have colleges in it, and it is worth something to the merchants of Washington to have $2,600,000 spent here by the students of one institution each year, and $500,000 for a medical branch and $365,000 from the Government, yet when they are called upon for a gift of $250,000 by the education board of New York to match its $250,000 they only raise $47,000 and leave it to the other States to raise the balance. Why? They knew that Congress would come along, and when Congress met they knew that our distinguished committee would come in here with its bill to appropriate $365,000 more for this institution, all of which comes out of the Treasury of the people. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Texas has again expired. The Clerk read as follows: For maintenance, to be used in payment of part of the salaries of the officers, professors, teachers, and other regular employees of the university, ice, and stationery, the balance of which shall be paid from donations and other sources, of which sum not less than $2,200 shall be used for normal instruction, $125,000. Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I reserve a point of order to the paragraph and I want to ask the gentleman from Michigan a question. Does the gentleman from Michigan contend that there is any authority in law for the appropriation in this paragraph just read? Mr. CRAMTON. That is cruel on the part of the gentleman to ask me to say in advance of the determination of his point of order which he makes to the paragraph that it is valid. Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. The gentleman does not care to express an opinion? Mr. CRAMTON. I will be frank with the gentleman. There is no legislative authority for the item. Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. That has been my impression, and I want to say this to the gentleman: Ever since, 1873 we have been appropriating money for the maintenance of this institution. From year to year the amount has increased until this year the Budget asks for $815,000 almost a million dollars. It is a contribution of public funds to a private institution. I submit to the gentleman that if Congress is determined to continue to appropriate money to a private institution for the education of Negroes, there is no reason why it should favor this institution as against other Negro institutions at Tuskegee or the Hampton Institute in Virginia. This appropriation is particularly unwise for the reason that in connection with Howard University there is a school of religion. I know that officials contend that no part of the money here appropriated is used for the theological seminary, but the statement is only an evidence of their realization of the weakness of their position. They might as well say that no part of Government funds is expended to pay the instructor in mathematics or English—the appropriation goes into the general fund. I hold in my hand a copy of a sermon delivered to the school of religion in Howard University, supported by the funds of the taxpayers, a sermon delivered by a member of the board of trustees, denouncing the religion of the white people of this country, denouncing the federation of white churches, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Young Women's Christian Association, and referring to the latter organization in this language. We have also in this city a white Young Men's Christian Association and a white Young Women's Christian Association from which colored people are excluded, and excluded because they are colored, because they happen to be of another variety. The very fact of the existence of such associations is a standing reproach to the Christianity that they represent. And then this member of the board of trustees of Howard University says: I have very little faith in the Christianity of Mr. Woodrow Wilson, but what he says in his article, "The road away from revolution," in the August number of the Atlantic Monthly, is well worth careful consideration. "Our civilization" he says "can not survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by becoming permeated with the spirit of Christ and being made free and happy by the practices which spring out of that spirit." True, true; but how can our civilization become permeated with the spirit of Christ when professing Christians like Mr. Woodrow Wilson and Mr. William Jennings Bryan, outstanding figures in the church, go on preaching and practicing the kind of Christianity which they represent? Again, referring to the fact that Negroes are not members of the churches to which white persons belong, he says: It is a shame, a burning shame, that we are under the domination of a Christianity that discriminates against human beings made in the image of God and for whom Christ died, on account of race and color. Then he calls upon the young theological students, to whom he was speaking, in this language: And in the effort that must be made to rescue the Christianity of to-day from the spirit, the unbrotherly, the unchristian spirit that now has possession of it, if our faith is weak and if we are not willing to go to the scaffold, if need be, if we are not willing to suffer, we will not be of much service. It is useless to quote further from this sermon. When such statements can be made by a member of the board of trustees without any officer of the university taking issue with him, it is evident that the Congress would not be justified in making appropriations to carry on such work, inciting the students of the university to hatred of the white people of America, and of their religion. If, notwithstanding this, Congress is to persist in appropriating the money of the tax-payers for this private institution, then Congress should have the courage to enact legislation, declare that it will select this of all the institutions in the country to receive Government aid, and then specify the amount the District of Columbia will contribute, because one-fourth of the students come from this city. But above all else, if the Congress is forced to legislate to authorize this appropriation, some control should be provided, a board of trustees should be elected that will exercise some control and will not permit the preaching of such a sermon as that from which I have quoted—and Congress shall never authorize an appropriation to any institution having a school of religion, in violation of the spirit of the Constitution, and the judgement of men, based upon experience. Mr. CRAMTON. Mr. Chairman, I am sure the gentleman from South Carolina will agree with me there are never on earth any human beings any more closely akin to saints than some men in the ministry; on the other hand, from time to time regardless of race or creed or official connection, an occasional man in the ministry will make a big fool of himself in flights of oratory. But the institution or race ought not to be held responsible for such occasional statements. Mr. BYNES of South Carolina certainly not, so far as race is concerned. But this was a prepared sermon delivered by a member of the board of trustees of this university. No one would think of holding an institution responsible for the sermon of an invited preacher, but when a member of the board of trustees, charged with the conduct of the institution and the control of the institution, preaches such a sermon, then I do hold that institution responsible, and say that it is time that Congress should legislate and provide for the control of it if we are going to continue the appropriation of money for it. Mr. CRAMTON. Has the gentleman any information that leads him to believe that the particular address referred to does represent the views of, or is indorsed by the board of trustees of that institution? Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. Only this: He is a member of the board of trustees himself, has been a member of that board, and this sermon was delivered before the convocation of the school of religion of the university, and is being circulated over the country to-day. It is in pamphlet form. Certainly no official of that institution has seen fit to take issue with this member of the board of trustees. If they disapprove of the sermon they have never made public their disapproval. It is unsound in principle for the Government, first of all, to contribute to any institution which has a school of theology, because these questions inevitably arise, and the experience of our Government through all the years is that it has been unwise. This sermon shows that Government funds are used to support an institution that is stirring up race hatred instead of promoting harmony between the races. Mr. ALLGOOD. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman mind giving the name of the preacher? Mr. CRAMTON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the pro forma amendment. The gentleman from Texas [Mr. BLANTON] is entirely incorrect. That is very unusual; but it is so in this case. None of the paragraphs in this bill with reference to the Freedmen's Hospital would be subject to a point of order if made, because it is a Government institution, erected by Government funds, and under the express management of the Secretary of the Interior; as much a Government institution as Congress itself.

Grimke, of the city of Washington. I would not, for an instant, hold an institution responsible for a speech or sermon delivered by any man who comes before it. I am complaining only because this is a member of the board of trustees, charged with the control of the institution. Mr. LARSEN of Georgia. Is the sermon printed and circulated by the university, or by whom? Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. I can not say by whom it is circulated. Mr. LARSEN of Georgia. It is in print. Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. Yes; it is in pamphlet form. Mr. CARTER. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield? Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. Yes. Mr. CARTER. Mr. Chairman, at the time this matter came before the committee I had not heard of this sermon to which the gentleman referred, and this is the first time that I have heard it. However, at the time this item was reached in the committee I reserved the right to oppose it on the floor of the House, because among other reasons, it sought to appropriate and provide funds for an institution not owned by the Government and in which the Government had no financial interest whatever. I would like to have the Record show that this is one item to which I did not agree then or now. Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I make the point of order. Mr. CRAMTON. Mr. Chairman, while I am very much interested in the item and thorughly believe in it and the necessity of providing for this national institution, because it seems to me it has a special claim on the Nation, I can not cite the Chair to any legislative authority for the appropriation. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. TILSON) It is not the province of the Chair to pass upon the wisdom or the lack of wisdom of any proposed appropriation, or to even consider its merits when a point of order is raised. If permitted to decide this question or its merits, the present occupant of the chair certainly would not be a party to striking down an appropriation for a work of this character. This, however, is not the question submitted to the chair. The question is whether there is existing law or authorization to sustain this appropriation. The gentleman in charge of the bill admits that there is no law authorizing it. The same point of order has been made in previous years, and whenever made it has been decided uniformly in the same way that the present occupant of the chair must decide it. If the appropriation is not authorized by law—and it is conceded that it is not—then it is clearly subject to a point of order. The Chair therefore sustains the point of order made by the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. BYRNES]. Mr. BYRNES of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, I shall make the same point of order as to the other paragraphs not yet read. Mr. CARTER. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that all of the paragraphs may be read, and that the gentleman from South Carolina may not lose his right to make a point of order to each separate paragraph. (The Clerk then read the items by paragraphs, Byrnes making a point of order against each as it was read. All of the points of order were sustained, and the items struck out except the item of $157,500 for assembly hall, "gymn," drill and athletic field. When the item of $67,000 for Freedmen's Hospital was reached. Byrnes did not make a point against it; whereupon Blanton, of Texas, let out this lot of gush.) Mr. BLANTON. In a moment. This item of $67,000 for subsistence, fuel, and so forth, for this colored hospital, was likewise subject to a point of order. No member made the point of order, because we were willing that this money should be spent in behalf of these colored people. And so with the following item, necessary equipment, and so on, $18,700, and then on down further, making a total of $165,700 for this colored hospital. We were perfectly willing that it be spent in the name of humanity, because it ought to be spent in their behalf, and it is a worthy enterprise. No southern man has ever yet refused to do the things here in Congress for the welfare and betterment of the colored race. Mr. CRAMTON. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the pro forma amendment. The gentleman from Texas [Mr. BLANTON] is entirely incorrect. That is very unusual; but it is so in this case. None of the paragraphs in this bill with reference to the Freedmen's Hospital would be subject to a point of order if made, because it is a Government institution, erected by Government funds, and under the express management of the Secretary of the Interior; as much a Government institution as Congress itself. A point of order with reference to this hospital would not have lasted a minute. I do not want that mistake to be lodged in anyone's mind on that subject.

She will render two numbers: "How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me Lord?" by Buck (The Triumph of David); and "I Walk with the King" (a gospel hymn). The Detroit Free Press, one of the leading white dailies of Detroit, had Mrs. Brooks to sing in its studio for the radio. The music critic of this paper commented highly on the "natural sweetness and lovely softness" of her voice. A large crowd is expected to hear Mrs. Brooks on Sunday. Heart to Heart Talks HEALTH—SOCIOLOGY— ECONOMICS By the School of Public Health Howard University Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. Director LET'S TAKE A HEALTH INVENTORY At least once a year every real business man has an inventory period, at which time hetakes stock of his goods to determine whether he has been conducting his affairs at a profit or at a loss. I have always observed that the good business man is a pretty fine guide to follow in many things, for he is always systematic and methodical. Men in business today are catching the new idea of taking not only a commercial but a health inventory as well. Furthermore they are passing this idea on down among their employees, for they have learned that it is good business to have good health and the better the health of all concerned the better the business. In a way each of us is a business man, woman or child much concerned in the business of living, keeping well, happy and maintaining our earning capacity at 100 per cent. So then, let each of us begin today and take a health inventory. Ask yourself the following ten questions each of which counts 10 per cent, grade yourself carefully and let me hear from you just what your mark is. 1. Do you have a good appetite and relish your food every meal? If you relish only lunch and dinner, mark yourself 7, and if only one meal mark yourself 4. Follow this idea throughout. 2. Do you get eight hours' refreshing sleep each day? 3. Are you unduly gaining or losing flesh? 4. Have you an undue sense of fatigue after muscular effort, and does it persist for some time? 5. How free are you from frequent attacks of headaches, colds, sore throat, indigestion, pain, giddiness, faintness and billiousness? 6. Do you go about your work with a feeling of enjoyment or is your job getting the best of you physically and mentally? 7. Are your lungs, heart and kidneys behaving properly? 8. Have you within the last five years been successfully vaccinated against small pox? 9. Have you an optimistic or pessimistic state of mind? 10. Do you give up a certain protion of each day for some healthful form of recreation or play? We wonder how many can score 100 per cent. Misses Hattie E. and Lydia G.

PAGE THREE A determined appeal is now being made to the community for funds to renovate and refurnish this great community service agency in order that it might render even greater service. CO-OPERATION THE BASIC PRINCIPAL OF LIFE INSURANCE (Continued from page 11) This form is life Insurance. As champions of this factor in our daily life we do not claim that, by it poverty can be abolished nor do we say that, thru the use of our method, hunger will no longer pursue us, but we do know that by the proper use of Life Insurance, poverty and hunger may be made a grevious fault, in fact the man who neglects it in his provisions, for the protection of his family commits nothing less than a crime. Life Insurance is not based upon a day nor is it founded upon man's weakness, but it is an institution built upon a study of the past, the duty of the present and the certainty and uncertainty of the future. It has in it all the sanity of process that have taught men to stop fighting each other, all the business wisdom of a great trust, an element of courtesy, a mission of mercy and a touch of duty closely akin to religion. It is co-operation as wide as the world, as deep as time and as tender as love; a co-operation of the people, by the people and for the people; the link by which this generation is linked with all generations to come. What other field has attracted to it as many men of prominence who have pooled their financial strength and business sagacity for the interest of all humanity than the field of Life Insurance? Like it's predecessors in the work, The Federal Life Insurance has gathered around its council board a group of men without parallel for stability, honesty and business sagacity. Reviewing the histories of other companies, profiting by their errors and accepting, but ever seeking to improve, their good features, the group of men forming the Board of Directors of this, the baby insurance enterprise in the District of Columbia, labors incessantly to make the Federal Life Insurance Company the name of perfection in the industrial field. Upon the shoulders of Cliffard T. Taylor, whose insurance experience covering a period of years and extends over the fields of several companies stands him in good stead, rests the responsibility of "putting the job over." Flanked by an impregnable array of loyal stockholders and supported by an official family of assistants, superintendents, agents and office employees who, like himself, are ever mindful of their duty to God and to their fellowmen, this "Gibraltar of Insurance" has succeeded in bringing to the public many features that are destined to see the realization of his companys aim—A Federal Life Insurance Policy in every home eventually—Why Not Now? Their contracts reflect their desire to give to the colored insuring public nothing less than the best. Let us examine them and see how well "they have kept the faith."—adv. (To be continued.)

TRACK TEAM PAGE FOUR The CHARLIE Race Athlete Highly Honored One of the greatest honors ever placed upon a Negro college athlete was conferred upon Charles West, star all-round athlete of the Washington and Jefferson College, when he was unanimously elected captain of the 1924 track and field squad. The deeds of West on the gridiron, diamond and track are well known. During the past football season his presence on the W. and J. eleven caused Washington and Lee to protest and the subsequent calling off the game between these colleges. West is a native of Washington Pa. and won great fame on the high school teams of that city before entering W. and J. He entered college in 1920 and has been a regular on the track, baseball and football squads for four years. At the Penn Relay Carnival last spring West won the pentathlon event. He also has the unusual distinction of having played quarterback on the football team. Few colored stars have ever been placed at this position on northern college elevens. West is an almost certain member of the U. S. Olympic team that will invade France this summer. Offered Place at Howard The following article appeared in The Washington Post of January 31: Charles West, star colored halfback of the Washington and Jefferson football team, has been tendered the position of athletic director of Howard university. If he accepts he will take over the coaching of the Howard team. Howard athletic authorities say they have no knowledge from what source this article came. Lincoln to Play Here February 15th Lincoln to Play Here February 15th The Lincoln "Lions" and the Howard "Bisons" will hook upon the basketball court of the Armstrong High gymnasium on Friday afternoon, February 15th at 4:00 o'clock. The "Lions" have one of the strongest teams of recent years and boast of the hardest schedule of any college quint. Nearly a score of the leading club and college fives will be played. Kenneth Trigg, a former Armstrong High performer, is playing the best game of his career on the Lincoln quint. The team is captained by Massy Woods one of the brightest luminaries in college ranks. K. N. I. I. Girls Prime for Wilberforce K. N. I. I. Girls Prime for Wilberforce Frankfort, Ky.—The Lousiville, "Y" Big Fve defeated the Kentucky Normal boys here Saturday night, 16-12, in a game full of thrills from the beginning to the end of the game. The game stood 12-12 for a few minutes near the close of the game. The Central High School girls' team of Louisville was defeated by the Kentucky Normal girls Saturday night in Louisville at the new high school gym, 12-11. The Normal girls walked away with the Falls City girls in the first half which ended 8-2. This was Normal's last game before meeting the Wilberforce girls at Wilberforce. Monday night, February 4. The Kentucky girls have played six games so far and have won all of them and are preparing to give the Forceites the game of their lives when they invade the Ohio section. The return of the Hayes girls to the game after an absence of nearly two years has greatly strengthened the Normal team. St. Cyprians to Play in Baltimore St. Cyprians to Play in Baltimore The District Champions and St. Cyprians hooked up in a practice game the first part of this week in preparation for two hard games each team has on hand Thursday and Friday nights of this week. The Champs will meet the Test Philadelphia Flashes, Friday night; and the St. Cyprians journey to Baltimore on Friday night to meet the Hampton Basketers Swamp Union By P. Bernard Young, Jr. HAMPTON, Va., Jan. 26 After getting off to a slow start, Hampton Institute completely overwhelmed Virginia Union University of Richmond, in the second basketball game played between these two teams, by the one-sided score of 44 to 14 Although the score was very uneven the game was for the most part thrilling and hard fought. Hampton went into the lead after a few minutes of playing and was never headed thereafter. The visitors displayed a good passing game, but could not consistently work the ball up to the Hampton goal, so sturdily and brilliantly did the superb guarding of the "Seasiders" perform. In passing and shooting, Hampton showed up like a chapmionship team, and with her present stride she promises to become such. The brunt of the shooting was forced upon Hargrove, Hampton's center, who performed brilliantly and succeeded in pulling out with high scoring honors, with a total of 24 points for the time he was in the game. Gunn, as usual, displayed his uncanny ability to dribble out of a jam and work the ball into a position for a shot. Hampton's great guarding, led by Captain Langston and exhalf, Hampton's second-string men, in-Union's inability to score a single field goal for eighteen minutes in the first half. The score of the first half, was 22 to 5. In the latter part of the second half, Hampton's second-tring men, including Simmons, Lambright, Thorn, Miller, and Renfraw, were sent in. All of these substitutes played remarkably well. Of these substitutes all-round honors went to Simmons. He was in every play, constantly nipping 1 Union rally in the bud. Miller and Lambright, at forward, played their usual steady game. For Union, Allen showed up well while Brown and Jackson also played a fine game. Summary and line-up: Hampton (44) Union (14) Hampton (44) Union (14) McNichols F. Gregory Jones F. Pickett Hargrove C. Jackson Langston G. Miller Gunn G. Brown Sustitutes: Hampton—Lambright, Miller, Thorn, Simmons, Renfrawy Union—Brown, Allen. SENTINELS HAVE HARD TIME WITH COMMUNITY Sentinel players had to extend themselves last Saturday to turn back the fighting Community, A. A. yellow-jackets at the Lincoln Colonnade, score 37-32. Durind the first half, the Blue and white Tossers had it easy, getting away to a flying start when Hundley, flashy forward caged a fast run-up start, and being fouled scored one of the two free throws. Traveling along with confidence and at the expense of the inexperience of the younger and smaller boy's the Sentinels found it easy to lead at the close of the first half 28-8. Coming back after intermission the youngsters threw quite a score into their opponents. Caging four baskets in rapid order before the elder fellows could get going. The Community Lads kept the pace up, and during the last half scored 24 points while the Sentinelins were making 12. So fast were the youngsters breaking through that when the final whistle blew, the Blue and White Basketers found the closeness of the score hard to believe. Louis Coates, Sentinel's Center featured the affair with 8 field baskets. Sentinels (37) Community (32) Hundley L.F. Neal Thompson R.F. Gray L. Coates Center Frazier Jones (C) L.G. Johnson (C) W.

On February 6th St. Cyprian Big Five will stage a game and dance when they meet the undefeated Elite Panthers of Northwest Washington at the Praish Hall, 19th and C Sts., S.E. The St. Cyprian Tigers will meet St. Augustine in a Y. M. C. A. league game at the "Y" gym at 7:30 p. m.; February 7th. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 Potomacs to Open Season April 24th Locals To Present Formidable Outfit The schedule of the Mutual Association will be announced within the next two weeks. The committee that was designated to draft the schedule will likely meet in Philadelphia Saturday after which all the magnates will be called in session and the schedule adopted. The committee was delayed slightly waiting on Ben Taylor to get the American League schedule from Clark Griffith. Early this week Taylor received a list of the dates that the Nationals will be on the road. All other playing fields of the Association are owned or leased by the clubs. Five clubs have parks—Hildale, Bacharachs, Black Sox, Harrisburg, Lincoln Giants—while the Brooklyn Reyals and Cuban Stars are known as road clubs. Cubans May Open Here Cubans May Open Here The Potomacs will open here either on April 24th or May 1. The league season is due to begin around the latter date but a few of the clubs will be near this section after the middle of April. The Cubans, or Royals will likely be the P's first opponents. Taylor's booking list at the American League park this year assures him of ten Saturdays and Sundays and one holiday which is May 30th. Four days a week will probably be the maximum number that the locals will play at home! Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays being the days most desired. Two Hold-outs Reported Manager Taylor has announced that the contracts of his men are coming in fast. Only two hold-outs have so far been reported while over a dozen men have already put their John Haneock on the dotted line. A complete list of the Potomac roster with their past records and history will be given in these columns within the next few weeks. The personnel of the club for this season will be a big surprise to local fans. The new combination that will cavort around the keystone sack will rank with any in the country. The war between the East and West makes it impossible to publish the names of any new players at this time. But a number of former stars in the Negro National League will be found on the locals' roster. Cuban League May Disband Cuban League May Disband The Cuban Baseball League is not likely to finish the season intact, according to Eggleton, the Potomac's backstop who arrived in Washington last week direct from the Island. The Potomac's star stated that the runaway race made by the Santa Clara club which is made up entirely of Negro league players had caused the attendance to drop to nothing. The situation became so acute that the Santa Clara club was asked to withdraw from the league and disband. The club is now playing exhibition games but most of the players are expected to return to the States very soon. Eggleton reported that he was in fine condition and after a short vacation at his wife's home in Indiana will be ready for spring training. Manager Taylor has his signed contract in his strong box. "Egg" played with the Havana club while in Cuba. The club was under the management of League, Cincinnita "Reds" star moundman. Harry Wills Resting at Southern Resort Harry Wills is now at Hot Springs Arkansas. The "battler" will likely remain there until his hand which was broken while he was prepairing for a scheduled bout with Bartley Madden, is completely mended. According to Wills, he has no knowledge of any signed contract for him to fight Pirpo. His manager Paddy Mullins, is in New York and all negotiations for fights will come thru him.

CONCERNING COLLEGE TEAMS vs. PROFESSIONALS Institutions that allow their athletic teams to meet professional clubs are being frowned upon by a number of our sport writers. Howard has been placed in this group although it is strictly against the policy of the local university to engage in contests with any Y. M. C. A., amateur or professional club team. The activities of a Howard fraternity basketball team is responsible for the impression that Howard's varsity men were represented. To our knowledge it has been years since a Howard varsity team opposed an amateur, semi-professional or professional team in any branch of athletics. The writer does not agree with those who would stop college teams from meeting out-siders. College basketball would suffer greatly Wilberforce for an example is too far distant to make up a capable schedule entirely of college opponents. Morehouse's trip north each winter would be a financial bust if one or two games with pros and semi-pros were not thrown in. Lincoln can get little action in Pennsylvania aside from this group. Of course there is much danger in booking these clubs but special care must be taken by college authorities in picking their opponents. There are few if any out-and-out amateur clubs among our group. A.A.U. rules allow college teams to meet pro clubs. The amateur status of an athlete is only effected when he plays on a pro team or receives money for his endeavors. Until more gymnasiums can be erected by our colleges we see no reason for banning collegiate-professional contests. There is no plausible excuse for Howard or any other college barring official Y.M.C.A. teams. MORE ABOUT THE C. I. A. A. Last week this column devoted much Athletic Association's constitution.

Last week this column devoted much space to the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association's constitution. An effort was made to call the public's attention to the fact that the Association as now governed is hindering the "go to college" movement. It was shown that Howard and Lincoln as members are not being benefited and that the college departments of Union, Shaw, and Va. Seminary are receiving little help. It was pointd out that the student was the biggest sufferer. Further investigation reveals other fallacies in this body's code of laws. Article VI A3, states, "No student who has been a member of a varsity team of an institution eligible to membership in the Association shall become a member of a varsity team in another institution eligible to membership in the Association until one year shall have elapsed since his connection with the former institution." Imagine a student who has graduated from an institution whose course is two years short of a college degree, desiring to complete his college work at Howard, Union, Linecol or Shaw and upon entering finds he must be inactive from athletics for a full year. The Association should discourage proselytizing and the adventures of "tramp" athletes but why should there be discriminating clauses of this nature in its constitution? WHO ARE OUR LEADING BILLIARD PLAYERS? Billiards and pool as a sport is at a lower ebb than any we indulge. Yet, as a business enterprise the Race has almost as many pool rooms as lunch rooms. But nothing is ever heard of our champions in this sport. We read in the dailies of the prowess of Hoppe and Greenleaf but who knows that within our own ranks we have the superior of either. Certain groups have frowned upon this form of indoor recreation and labelled the pool room an unfit place for youths to visit. The old type was both immoral and unsanitary. But many new establishments are springing up, the proprietors of which are making their places attractive with sufficient light, ventilation and cleanliness. They have banned loafing, loud talking, profane language and above all gambling. The youth who enters the new type is not in danger of being led from the straight and narrow. It would be a real treat to witness a contest between the city's two leading pool players. An effort must be made to put them into the limelight. Matching the skill of a local "ivory manipulator" with the champ of New York would interest a mighty throng and elevate the sport to great heights. "Y" Jr. League Standing W. L. Pct.

Both of these teams were seen here last winter. The Blue Belts scored a decisive victory over the strong Y.W. C.A.team while the Orioles were nosed out by the "Y" combination. Due to the fact that the "Y" aggregation is not in the field this season the two biggest drawing cards in the east have been booked. The Blue Belts are under the management of Chris Huiswoud, well known basketball official. The New Yorkers have victories to their credit over the best girl combinations, both colored and white, in the country. Their exhibition here last year will long be remembered by those who witnessed the encounter with the local girls. A preliminary game between the Community A. A. and the Shiloh A.

Tiger Flowers Begs For Fight It's an odd occurance when a fellow becomes so proficient in his calling that he is forced to quit same and seek other fields in order to make a livelihood. This is the predicament that Theo. "Tiger" Flowers seems to be up against. Boxing promoters at Youngstown, Ohio; Toledo, Ohio; Grand Rapids; Mich.; Springfield, Ohio; Detroit, Mich. Jaurez, Mexico; Atlanta, Ga.; Indianapolis, Ind., and Omaha, Neb., all are very anxious to stage the "Georgia Tornado" at their clubs-but are unable to get any opponent that will agree to meet Flowers. Not a single man that has ever faced Flowers in a match is willing to meet him in a return engagement. Among those that refuse to meet him are such well known fighters as Andy Kid Palmer, Geore Robinson, Panama Joe Gans, Jamaica Kid, Tut Jackson, Battling Siki and others. The Golden Gate Club at Philadelphia is now trying to secure the best of the white middleweights for a go with Flowers about February first and both the Tiger and his manager Walk Miller intend to go straight into New York and try to force the promoters there to use Flowers with Ted Moore, Roland Todd, Gene Tunney, Harry Greb or any of the present crop of middle and light heavyweights that they are daily advertising as champions and coming champions.

Fearing a combine against her, Mrs. Savoy made an ef. fort to get evidence to sustain her side of the controversy. In doing this she intereepted a letter writtem tc her mother by her, sister. Upon finding this out, Mrs. Turner had her daughter arrested but the case was later noll prossed. Be- lieving she had a one-third interest in the home, Mrs. Savoy sought to ex- tract her equity; but was met with a complete denial that she had any interest at all in the property by her mother, who was joined in her eonten- tion by Mrs. White. Mrs. Savoy, then went into the Dis- trict Court to force a settlement, which was decided in her favor last Tuesday. Among the witnesses who testi- fied was George W. Turner, father of the girls; who, after many years of absence, returned to the city about a yenr ago. The case eniled a bitter fight be- tween mother and daughter. It has left the mark of division on what was once an inseparable family, Dur- ing-the trial, the title mother or sister was never used; so bitter was the feeling. It was Mrs. White or Mrs. Turner or Mrs. Savoy as the case happened to be.

So avers Louis H. Chalif, famous Russian professor of daneing, who recently atrived in this country. A famous American author, hiding under ‘the--pen name of “Warner Fabian,” agrees with him and has written a daring novel treating with contemporary life, which points an accusing finger at modern sdeiety, its unrestraintt and its abandon of the conventions, The American author declares that the spirit ‘of jazz, hootch and cigar- ette smoking -women is undermining the ‘greatest of- all institutions—the home.

The following editorial by "Bill" Price appeared in the Washington Times of last Saturday, January 26th, headed: "Why Not a Monument to a Black Virginia Gentleman?" A black "gentleman of Virginia" has passed to that other shore where color of skin is not a barrier, but where the measure is the purity and cleanliness of life lived here, the good deeds done among human beings, and faithfulness and loyalty of service to those with whom we have come in contact. The black man who was honorable and honored here was "Dick" Green, for fifty years confidential messenger to Secretaries of the Treasury. When Senator Glass, of Virginia, after retiring from the Treasury, honored "Dick" Green with the assertion that he was "a Virginia gentleman," he was not using a mere flower of speech or words of idle flattery. He was telling a truth that should live among those of the colored race and be remembered among black and white alike. Where or how "Dick" Green became the true gentlemen that he was we know not. We do not have to make inquiries as to his ancestry or ask whether he had a college education. Suffice it to say that he had those qualities of gentleness, of politeness, of obligingness, of manliness that have never been more fully possessed by any other man, whatever his skin. Chesterfield is held up as the acme of politeness, but this black man was his equal, doubtless Chesterfield's superior in gentleness and the things which make a real gentleman. Born a slave in Virginia, having none of the education which raised Bocker T. Washington to foremost rank among men, Dick Green just made himself. He studied, he read, he imbibed, he gathered much from his intimate association with the great men he had served. Although he dusted the hats and clothes of the great, assisted them in those little things which put him in the class of the menial, his soul, his bearing, his manliness rose above it all and gained for him widespread admiration and respect. Incorruptible, faithful to every trust, he died honored by men and women of all rates, all creeds. Secretaries of the Treasury sent him to Europe, to all parts of this country, with their wives, daughters or sons and knew that they were safe in his hands. He knew their family and official secrets. They kept nothing from him. Never a word was he ever known to utter. Dick Green's exceptionally useful life was worthy of emulation. The color of his skin alone deprived him of the opportunities to rise to position and power; but, in spite of every handicap, he rose high in the esteem of mankind and died without a dark spot to becloud his notable service to the Government of Uncle Sam. Congress has erected many monuments in this city to commemorate deeds of service to country. Private money has erected others. A monument marks the unusual in man, those super qualities that made him stand out among his fellow citizens, his greatness or glorious achievements, his sterling character, clean and worthy life. . . Isn't his life worthy of a monument by Congress or by white and black citizens? Mr. Price prefaces his glowing tribute to "Dick" Green by asking the question "Why Not A Monument to a Black Virginia Gentleman?" We answer this question by asking Mr. Price another: Why a monument to a black Virginia gentleman? We might further ask Mr. Price: Why are monuments erected at all? Monuments by nations, by states, by communities and by citizens are erected, as Mr. Price well knows, in honor of men who have achieved greatness and have been outstanding characters in science, in art, in literature, in adventure, in soldiery, in civil and religious revolutions; men, who by their achievements have advanced the world in the lines of endeavor in which they have served the nation, the state, the community, or the world in general. In just which one of these lines of endeavor, for which monuments are erected, "Dick" Green has achieved greatness, Mr. Price fails to state. We know of no monument on the face of the earth erected to a man simply because he was a gentleman, be he from Virginia or elsewhere; be he a white gentleman, a red gentleman, or a black gentleman. Why; if such be a good reason, Mr. Price might deserve a monument himself. Mr. Price, like all white men, simply desires that a monument be erected in honor of "Dick" Green in order that our people (our children to come) shall forever be impressed with the "greatness" of being a good servant, possessing, as he said Green possessed, "qualities of gentleness, of politeness and of obliqueness." In further commending the idea of a monument to this good servant he says: "Although he dusted the hats and clothes of the great, his soul rose above it all," etc., etc. Mr. Price also reminds us that the wives and daughters of his employers were "safe in his hands"; the usual compliment that the "master" would pay his good "slave." In this statement Mr. Price likewise wishes to convey the idea that in this respect "Dick" Green was an unusual black man, evidently implying that it is a rare thing to find a black man with whom the wives and daughters of white men would be safe. But in this respect Mr. Price has the facts reversed; for the unusual thing is to find a white man with whom the wives and daughters of colored gentlemen are safe, especially in the South—from where Mr. Price evidently hails. Mr. Price further reminds us that "Carter Glass of Virginia, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, honored 'Dick' Green with the assertion that he was a Virginia Gentleman." Mr. Price here infers one of two things: either that for Carter Glass to call a colored man a gentleman is an honor; or, that black gentlemen are rare in Virginia. We wish to inform Mr. Price that Virginia is full of black gentlemen; and that if he sets out to erect monuments to all black gentlemen of Virginia he will find that there would not be enough marble in the granite hills of Vermont to erect them, if each one were no higher than his hand. As a parting warning to Mr. Price and all who think as he thinks, we wish to say that our people will oppose the erection of any monument, whether it be ostensibly to Green "Dick" or Black Mammy, which has for its real purpose the perpetuation of the idea (or false ideal) that black men and women are considered to have achieved greatness, and are to be placed in the hall of fame, because (and simply because) they prove to be polite, obliging, and safe SERVANTS. In the hope however, that Mr. Price may be sincere in his desire to do honor with a monument (or we might say monuments) to our people, we call his attention to the following for whom monuments might be erected for real achievements, the same achievements for which white men are honored; 10 Granville Woods, inventor; Crispus Attucks, patriot-martyr; Frederick Douglass, statesman; Booker T. Washington, educator; Benjamin Beneker, astronomer; Phyllis Wheatley, poetess; Samuel Coleside-Taylor, internationally famous composer of musical classics; Touissaint L'Ouverture, soldier patriot; Henry O. Tannensted painter; Paul Lawrence Dunbar, poet, and many other list of whom we will be glad to supply to Mr. Price upon re-But— * honor a man with a Monument for merely having been man? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 CUTTING HOWARD'S APPROPRIATION Representative Byrnes, of South Carolina, made a stab at Howard University, Tuesday, when by points of order, he had struck out of the appropriation bill all of Howard's appropriation for salaries, and the maintenance of the University, amounting to $207,500. The reason he gave for his act of hatred, was to "get back" at the University because of the fact that Dr. Francis J. Grimke delivered an address at the Seventh Annual Convocation of the School of Religion of Howard University, on the subject: "What is the trouble with the Christianity of Today?" Representative Byrnes quoted several paragraphs from the address delivered by Dr. Grimke. Among them, this seemed to sting more than the rest: "It is a shame, a burning shame, that we are under the domination of a Christianity that discriminates against human beings made in the image of God and for whom Christ died, on account of race and color." Mr. Byrnes said: "This sermon shows that Government funds are used to support an institution that is stirring up race hatred instead of promoting harmony between the races." There is truly something wrong with the white man's professed Christianity. Dr. Grimke was certainly right, logical and progressive in his address on that subject. There is no greater hypocrisy in the world today than the professed Christianity of white Americans. They preach purity, but maintain "red light districts." They preach loving kindness, but mob and burn their brothers. They preach peace, but promote a Ku Klux Klan. They preach brotherly love, but yet they discriminate, segregate and ostracise their brothers. Therefore, we have lost confidence in the white man's professed Christianity. As for Dr. Grimke, he was merely exercising his rights as a minister and as a citizen to speak freely and frankly on a matter of great public import, as well as of moral concern. Such freedom of speech is guaranteed by our Constitution. A bad habit is a terrible thing. Byrnes, of South Carolina, has grown accustomed to treating the Constitution of the United States as a scrap of paper; for he undoubtedly would not be a member of the Congress of the United States today, but for his contempt of the constitutional rights of his black brother of South Carolina, which he tramples under his feet at every election which he enters to represent his district. During all the years he has been in Congress, there have been more colored people in the State of South Carolina than white. Hence it is not majority rule, which has been the backbone of the Southern sort of Democracy that has elected James Byrnes to Congress; it is the minority stealing the constitutional rights of the same people he wishes to punish at Howard University. He has stolen the votes of the Negroes of South Carolina and now he wishes to steal the education of the Negroes of the United States. When a man begins stealing there is no telling where he will end. While the appropriation of Howard was cut out in the House on the point of order of Representative Byrnes, it is possible and probable that the majority of the items, amounting to $207,500, will be restored by the Senate committee when the bill reaches it. Then it will go into a conference meeting of a joint committee of both houses and in all probability Howard will get her appropriation despite the points of order of James Byrnes, of South Carolina. The statement of President Durkee of Howard University concerning the matter, as quoted in the daily papers of Wednesday, (which appears elsewhere in this paper) was a cowardly one. As president of the University, he should have stood by Dr. Grimke and forced the issue on principle. Neither Dr. Durkee, nor any other man is worthy of the position of president who will not stand by a principle that is vital to the university which he heads. Dr. Grimke who has been a trustee of the University for many years, is absolutely right when he states that he would rather see the appropriation cut out completely if necessary to test the principle of free speech in Howard University. If Dr. Durkee will not uphold the constitutional rights of free speech in the institution he heads, then he should be asked to resign forthwith. Constitutional rights and race honor are the principles involved in this issue. The Tribune is with Dr. Grimke and against Representative Byrnes and president Durkee. The issue is clear cut and all right thinking people will uphold the constitutional rights of free speech and religious freedom MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams GOSPEL OF UNITY Unity among colored musicians and music lovers? Well let's see! The director of music for the public schools, white, has started a special training class for teachers. Forty-eight teachers already are members of this choral club, and will meet weekly beginning in February. They have elected officers as follows: president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and librarian. ing directly upon organization among church organists that teams with logical reasoning and common sense and if they could be made to understand those theories a new day would dawn in their music life and similar music groups would rise up all over Washington, in the course of time. We requested Mrs. Greene to send an article from her viewpoint that others may consider it. Some of the things that we would like to see ere the year ends: a music teacher's club; an organist's club; a choir association covering the entire city; a choir director's club; a music association composed of musicians, music-lovers and music patrons alike; a public school teacher's club and a student's music club composed of pupils in general. Still another announcement of local importance among white musicians, is that made by the District Chapter of the Federation of Music Clubs of America. The new board members have been elected. This group is made up of unusually representative local musicians and patrons of music in Washington, people who have the progress of our city musically as a deep-rooted ambition. Are you in favor of this movement in your particular group? If so, write your viewpoint and we will gladly publish same in this column. In union there is strength and it is high time we were considering it. Our music forces have been divided so long that some imagine organization as an impossible thing. But remember, friend, our very government is founded upon "Union"; so is the church, the fraternal body; the nation and the "Home.' These comments of musical activities among white musicians made by Helen Fetter in a recent issue of The Star reflects the musical enthusiasm of the other race at the present time. This brings to mind our topic the "Gospel of Unity" among colored musicians and music lovers. Are we organized in union by common consent? If not why not? Do we feel the need of organization for mutual betterment and the advancement of music generally among the masses? Are the public school teachers organized as the white teachers? Have we a local music forum or group worthy of the name as a sort of music clearing house? Have we a music teacher's club? a choir organization of lage membership? an organist chapter and a choir director's group? Have we a student music club? Even the preachers are organized, the church ushers and the missionary evangelists; yes, they even have a "Prayer-meeting union" going from church to church each month. The universe itself is an organized body of gravitating spheres. Poor musicians of color, dont seem to see the wisdom of it yet hereabouts but we believe the awakening is near at hand and this "Gospel of Unity" should be sounded from every music houseup until the welkins ring. We can boast of not a single one of any consequence in a great big cultured center like Washington. Previous efforts have been made by several ambitious persons to organize one or the other of these groups and ALL HAVE BEEN FAILURES, but we should try and try again. Dr. Anna Greene, organist of Metropolitan Baptist church, advances some very interesting arguments and data bear- Encouraging Amateur Musicians Here is an opportunity to encourage the amateur musicians of Washington.

Cardinal Gibbons Institute Building Plan The architect's plans for the first building of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute was approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at a recent meeting, Admiral William S. Benson, chairman presiding. The building will be a two-story structure, 72 by 42 feet in size. In general type the building is colonial. It will be constructed of 12 by 24 inch cement blocks tooled and with joints pointed. The roof will be of red asbestos shingles. The floors will be cement making a fire-proof building. The ground floor will be divided into six class-rooms and offices. The basement will contain a kitchen, dining room, and laundry. The second floor will be used for the first year as a dormitory for boys, with four coner rooms for toilets, bathroom, and private rooms for two instructors. The plans call for stairways at both ends. Later this second story will be used for an assembly when the new dormitories for boys are built, and the basement will be used for class-rooms when the culinary department has a building of its own. The present farm house, which is in excellent condition, will be used for quarters for the principal of the school St. Peter Claver Church and Hall on property adjacent to the Cardinal Gibbons Institute make it unnecessary to provide a separate chapel or auditorium at the present time. These buildings will be built from blocks made on the property where excellent sand and gravel has been found. They will be placed on a high level twenty-acre lot on the northeast end of the property over-looking on the south the level 200-acre farm, and beyond, Smith's Creek and the Potomac River with the Virginia shore on the other side eight miles in the distance. Ground plans for future buildings were also approved by the executive committee. The buildings have their site already determined upon, and in architectural features will harmonize with this first building. A level tract in front of the building has been reserved for an athletic field and park. The location of roadways has been fixed. In all this ground planning the gratious services of Dr. David I. Lunsden of the United States Department of Agriculture, formerly professor of landscape designing, Cornell University, were used. Louis Rouleau of Washington is thearchitect. SUM FOR HOWARD STADIUM O.K. The only item of the Howard University appropriation measure that passed the House called for $157,500 for the erection of the stadium-gymnasium. But for the fact that $40,000 was "authorized" for this project last year the entire appropriation would have been stricken out. SUBURBAN GARDENS STARTS BOOKING Suburban Garden's preparation for the coming season started this week, with the selection of manager's offices which were opened in the Prudential Bank Building with Van Vranken S. Mathews in charge of booking. Work will start soon on the grounds to give Washington a greater amusement park this year than ever before. call and see us about having their pictures made for cuts to use with a statement about them. We want to write-up every worthy local amateur musician even though they have not completed their musical training. This would be an inspiration to those who are struggling to make a success in music, and incidentally tear down local barriers of prejudice against all those who are not styled as artists as all artists come from the common rank and file of music lovers. We as a rule always seek to applaud the "higher-ups" and seldom if ever consider the struggling ones. Accept this opportunity to inspire others who would climb the rugged heights to success. They deserve it, need it and should have it by all means. It would be a splendid idea to have a jpoint musical of local talent who have been serving churches, societies, civic gatherings and what not for years (possibly free of charge) at some convenient place and divide equally the funds among the participants as a gift from the public for their unselfish services from time to time. Our white citizens have been doing this very thing, so don't say it can't be done, as some possibly will say. The main idea is to encourage the young and ambitious musicians of the Race; who knows but that diamonds in the rough lie at our feet unheard of and unsung? We have in mind just now three persons whose talent would shine out from any vantage point, and compass. Let us you friends! Society Demands That You Keep Your Teeth in Good Order TUE. & WED., FEB. 5 & 6 C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor Juvenile Department ADDRESS: CHILDREN'S PAGE The Washington Tribune 920 U Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. SCRIPTURE READING Woe to the rebellious children, said the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me. Isaiah 30:1 FOUR NEGRO HEROES There are facts in American history pertaining to Negroes which if these same men were white, every school child would know them. There was Crispus Attucks, the first to die for the liberty of America when he and three others were killed by British soldiers, in the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770. An unknown Negro was the first man killed in the city of Baltimore in 1861 when the Federal troops were mobbed there en route to the front at the beginning of the Civil war. A Virginian of Accomac County, fell at the same moment or a second or two before a white sailor on the torpedo boat Winslow, in the harbor of Cardennas, May 11, 1898, in the Spanish-American war. This man's name was Elijah B. Tunnell. There was George C. Hudnell the first man to lose his life in the Mexican invasion in 1916 in the search for Villa, the Mexican rebel leader. Hudnell had been a member of the Tenth Cavalry for twenty years. His remains were buried on a ranch 250 miles south of the Mexican border. Is this a record to be ashamed of? A race that can produce such men as these—is it a race to be ashamed of? What would your answer be were you asked, "Are you proud of your race?" Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" and I have found it very interesting. I would like to become a Tribunite. I am in the 4-B grade, Lucretia Mott School. I am 11 years old.

Is it a puzzle or a trick combination of letters? —J.B.C. Ans.: The Persians used the mysterious word, "Abracadabra," supposed to have been the name of an Asiatic god, as an invocation to ward off evils and sickness. They arranged the letters of the word in triangular form, thus: A B R A C A D A B R A A B R A C A D A B R A B R A C A D A B A B R A C A D A A B R A C A D A B R A C A A B R A C A B R A A B R A B A This was inscribed on gems or written on paper which was folded in the form of a cross. The charm thus obtained was worn about the neck for nine days and then thrown into a stream flowing eastward. This, it was believed, would cure fevers and other ailments WINNERS IN DRAWING CONTEST Drawing Series No. 21 Second prize (three theater tickets): "The Nurse" drawn by Ellsworth Herbert.

Please write your age after your name in "every letter." A Business Man Dear Editor: I am going to tell you about a modern chicken farm owned by a colored man. You know, we are always interested about our Race. Mr. Barnes' chicken house is as long as Burrville School and as wide as one of our class-rooms. It contains electric lights and running water. The floor is cement. On the floor there is hay into which the farmer throws some kind of grain after the chickens go to sleep. This farm has 2,000 white Leghorns from which Mr. Barnes receives 1500 eggs a day. He sells them at wholesale for fifty cents a dozen. He earns $62.50 a day. If this gentleman will keep up his business and improve on it, I am sure he will be very successful. LEONA HARRIS (14) "Uncle Wiggily" Writes Dear Editor: I have not written for sometime, but since I have seen the names of other Tribunites as "Honor Children," I have been inspired to write also. I am a Tribunite, and would like for my pen name to be "Uncle Wiggily." I have sent in the answers to the puzzles and I hope that I will become an "Honor Child," this week, because I have struggled hard to get every puzzle correct. Although I cannot draw, and did not send in any drawing this week, I shall try to next week. I would not send it in this time because it would be an eyesore to everyone. Laura's First Letter. Laura's First Letter Dear Editor: This is the first time I have attempted to write to the "Children's Page." My name is Laura J. Bowe and I live at 131 L Street, Northwest. I am in the first year at Armstrong Manual Training School. I will try and write often and answer some puzzles. Please enroll me as a Tribunite. I wish you and the Tribunites good luck and success and I hope this letter will please you. A Letter From Herndon, Va. Dear Editor—I have found the "Childrens Page" very interesting. My brother Paul, who lives in Washington, brings me a Tribune home when he comes. I would like to have one every week if I can get it. I live in the country in a town called Herndon, Va. My place is Oak Grove. I am 9 years old and I am in the third grade. My teacher's name is Mrs. Colbert. CARRIE LUCAS (9) Dear Carrie: We are sending you a month's subscription to the Tribune. We are hoping that you will get as much joy from the reading of the papers as we get by sending them to you—C.L.F. Dear Editor: I want to become a member of the "Children's Page." Here is a gem which I like. It is called "Evening Prayer." How pleasant it is at the close of the day, no follies to have to repent; but reflect on the past and be able to say, "That my time has been properly spent." When I've done all my work—with patience and care—and been good and obliging and kind, I lie on my pillow and sleep, away there, with a happy and satisfied mind. 87 8T 8T DRAWING CONTEST (Drawing Series, No. 22) You are to take the figure and the letter just as they appear above and make them part of a picture.

Sanhedrin to Meet En- tirely Separate from Lincoln League (Continued from page'1) The Permanent Outcome of The Con- ference ‘The committee on arrangements does not assume any ulitimate wisdom as to the outcome or final results of the conference. We invite the care- ful and prayful consideration of the most thoughtful members of the race who may have any advice of value to contribute. We are determined how- ever, that the conference shall not de- generate into oratory and resolutions, merely this and nothing more, It must contribute some permanent effect upon the thoughts, the sentiment, the at- titude, the determination and the en- deayor of the race as a whole. eqitt diseussing this featur of the con. ference with one of our profoundest thinkers who has a stateman like in- terest in and understanding of the complexities of the problem, he felt that the conference would be fully Justified if it did nothing bat bring together representatives of the various organizations, agencies and activities of the race who should sit down for a week and deliberate seriously upon some efficient plan of united thought and action. Whatever the outcome, it will be the joint product of our best minds acting in unions. It is not the purpose of the San- hedrin to destroy any existing or- ganization, bit to fulfil. It is to be a uniting agency synthetic of the {best there is in them all. The perma- nent form of the conférence might well be embodied in committee which should serve as a clearing house through which existing organizations might act on matters of race-wide eoncern, ‘The Ministeriusm | ‘The race ean hardly hope to perfect jany effective movement without the |heartly good will and co-operation of [the church.

While these meetings are for most part for purely devotional and spirit- ual purpose, yet the situation is such htat they are frequently forced to con- sider- secular civie and social matters for the common good of the race. The fullest possibility for racial good of such ministers’ unions he’s often frustrated by denominational rivalry and jealousy. Without attempting to specify how this could ‘be’ worked out in detail, it is perfectly clear that the entire ministerium of a city might meet at suitable intervals, where all denominational issues might be laid aside, and the time devoted to the consideration of the moral, civil, and social needs of the community as a whole. Just how far it might be feasible for such unions to affiliate with secular or- ganizations or how far these secular agencies should organize among them- selves and co-operate with the min- isterial group on issues requiring united endeadvor might appear after trial and experimentation. ‘The Sanhedrin is an assured suc- cess; and yet it needs the deliberate thought and profoundest reflection of the Negro mind to formulate the requisite race statesmanship.
