HOWARD UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES REFUSE PLEA OF ALUMNI PETITION WITH 120,000 NAMES PRESENTED PRESIDENT First in Local Circulation. HOWARD PETITIO PRESENT SYSTEM AT HOWARD TO CONTINUE Alumni Reversed in Fight for Larger Voice and E.C. Smith's Scalp The Board of Trustees of Howard University held their mid-winter session at the University this week. The alumni presented the board with a memorial asking that the alumni be given a larger voice in directing the affairs of the university such as other schools have. The memorial further asked the board not to recognize the so-called "Alumni Secretary," Rev. Emory B. Smith, appointed by the president. After reviewing the memorial, the Board of Trustees virtually threw it back to the alumni with the admonition that the trustees will continue to run Howard as it is now being run, and, further, that the present method of alumni "elections" will also be continued. Not a single request of the general Alumni Association was granted, despite the valiant fight made by Dr. William Sinclair, of Philadelphia, a member of the board. Just what the board accomplished during its meeting was not given out, but it is known that the question of making a fight to have the annual government appropriation, which was cut off last week in the House, restored in the Senate, was discussed. Already the Senate sub-committee has voted favorably on this item. In connection with the cutting off of the appropriation and the reading of excerpts from a sermon delivered by Rev. Francis J. Grimke, in the House last week by Rep. Byrnes of South Carolina, it was unofficially learned that certain members of the board tried to work up sentiment to have Rev. Grimke, who is a member of the board, resign. These men disagreed with the sentiments voiced by Rev. Grimke. The fight of the alumni for a larger voice in the management of the university will not be abandoned, according to spokesmen of that body. The general alumni association of which Atty. Justin W. Carter of Harrisburg, Pa., is president, now plan to take the fight to every Howard graduate. The alumni charges Dr. Durkee with usurpation of not rightly his. The memorial presented is as follows: February 5th, 1924. The Honorable Board of Trustees of Howard University, Washington, D.C. Gentleman:— We the representatives of the General Alumni Association of Howard University, pursuant to a vote of the Executive Committee, at a meeting held January 17, 1924, President Carter presiding, appear before you for the third time for the same general cause: namely, to ask for an active participation of the General Alumni Association in the affairs of Howard University; such as the election of Alumni Trustees, the election of Alumni Secretary, and the recognition of a coordinate statue of the Alumni Association and the administration in all matters in which the Alumni Association of the leading institutions exercise an influence. We feel it doubly necessary to appear before you, in view of the decision of our publication committee not to issue, on February 1st, 1924, the Alumni Sentinel, the official organ of the Alumni Association—a decision growing out of due consideration of the financial reverses which now threaten our Alma Mater. Much of the matter, therefore, which would have appeared in our publication we (Continued on page 3) The Washington Tribune Published Weekly DONATED $25,000 TO PROVE HARDING WAS NOT A NEGRO Tea Pot Dome, recently made famous by a Congressional Investigating Committee, seems to contain more ills than Pandora's famous box. Nearly every day something new in the way of scandal developments. Besides telling of his liberal donations to various Congressmen and Cabinet officials, Doheny, the multi-millionaire oil dealer, disclosed the fact before the Senate Committee, last week, that during the campaign in 1920, he donated $25,000 to refute in newspaper advertisements, the assertion that the late President Harding was of Negro blood. This assertion was made by the Democratic candidate, James M. Cox, and, for a time, completely upset the Republican camp. This statement, it is claimed by many, caused Harding to refuse to do anything for the Negro, out of fear that the public would misconstruc his actions. NEWGOVERNOROF MISS. ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY NEWGOVERNOROF MISS. ASKS FOR FAIR PLAY Calls on Citizens and Courts to Respect Negro's Rights Jackson, Miss.—The inaugural address delivered by Governor Whitfield when taking office here last week embodied what many regard as the most significant and thoroughgoing pronouncement on race relations ever voiced on such an occasion. The state, said Governor Whitefild, must take the Negro into consideration in all its plans for progress, improve his working and living conditions, look after his health, provide better training and see that he gets a square deal in business relations and in the courts. The law enforcing officers were called upon to put an end to lynching, and every citizen was urged to see that the colored people are protected from violence and injustice, and encouraged in their efforts for self-improvement. Cordial co-operation for the common welfare was pointed out as the one path to peace and prosperity. Governor Whitfield's statement follows: "The Negroes still make up slightly more than one-half of Mississippi's population. Any plans for a new era, any change in our economic life, any reorganization of our agriculture or industry which leaves them out is doomed to failure. If we should work not our own economic salvation, we must at the same time take their welbeing into consideration. There is a definite relation between their happiness and prosperity and that of the state as a whole. "If we would hold these laborers in the South we must complete with the northern employer on his own terms. We must improve working and living conditions, look after the Negro's health, foster manual training and modern agricultural methods, and see to it that at all times the less favored black man shall get a square deal in business relations and in the courts. Our own self interest prompts it; humanitarian considerations demand it; our Christian duty as a more favored people enjoins this upon us. "It is encouraging to learn of a fifty per cent decrease in the number of lynchings in the past twelve months. While mob violence is by no means limited to any section, its presence anywhere and everywhere is a blow at (Continued on page 3) WASHINGTON, D. C. FEBRUARY 9, 1924 INSURES HEMAN PERRY'S LIFE FOR $800,000 Service Company, of Atlanta Places Record Amount on its President Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 14—Concrete evidence of the success of the Standard Life Insurance Company, The Citizens' Trust Company, and other allied organizations of the triangular group of enterprises headed by Heman E. Perry was shown the directors and stockholders in the reports by the officers of these organization at the annual meeting held at the home office, 180 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga., on January 16, 17, and 1. A significant indication of the great growth of these enterprises was noted in the additional safeguards placed over the interests of the stockholders in the way of insurance policies carried on the lives of the principal officers, the amounts being $800,000 on the life of Heman E. Perry, directing genius of the triangular group and a total of $300,000 on the lives of six other principal officers. of the activities of the company during the year 1923. A number of important changes were made in the official personnel of the company including the election of T. J. Ferguson as a member of the board of directors and as treasurer, and David D. Jones as Recognition of the outstanding service of J. A. Robinson and Dr. W. F. Boddie, formerly secretary and treasurer respectively, was taken in their unanimous election as vice-presidents. Mr. Robinson in this capacity will have charge of all records and books of the company and Dr. Boddie will have charge of all financial activities. Application for Membership in Fed- eral Reserve System to be Made From the report of Dr. W. F. Boddie, cashier-treasurer of The Citizens Trust Company, information was received regarding the recent campaign by The Citizens Trust Company for an increase of one-half million dollars in deposits, so as to qualify for membership in the Federal Reserve System. The result of this cam- reached by the directors and stockholders to make application on the seventh day of February, 1924 for membership in the Federal Reserve System. It was also decided that as soon as the application is approved by the officers of the Federal Reserve System and membership granted to the Citizens Trust Company, a campaign, nation- wide in scope, will be inaugurated for $15,000,000 in deposits. The appeal will be made to race institutions and individuals throughout the country. An Advanced Movement The striking advance made by the Negro in business is indicated in the following report of the affairs of The Citizens' Trust Company as made by Dr. Boddie: "The year just closed has been one of the most eventful in the history of the Institution. It may be said to have marked a definite place in our economic group life. One of the reasons it has been so eventful is that it has demonstrated the capacity of Citizens Trust Company to foster development of tremendous organizations; absorb all the shocks of such an undertaking, withstand suspicious and hostile public sentiment, hold its own, and move on. "This could not have been accomplished except at tremendous price of mental and physical energy on the part of those who have not only shown the ability, but have had what is more essential, the vision, spirit, nad purpose of the pioneer. We are revolutionizing public opinion as to the ability of the Neerro to do big things."

The cave w ground railr Brown when the Osawator was one of t slaves that he to Canada b The cave was a part of the underground railroad operated by John Brown when he was known only as the Osawatomine abolitionist, and was one of the hiding places for the slaves that he and other Kansans sent to Canada by way of Nebraska. It was built in the Missouri River side, in the shape of a cross, and has an extension or chamber in every direction of the compass. In recent years the face of the cave and the entrance have been overgrown with small trees. The chasam was only one of a dozen or more locations in the Middle West, but is the largest of all because it was used as a distribution point for the others. The entrance to the underground passages came from a ravine on the west side, and was flanked and hidden by an old log cabin, which is still standing with its calked-up holes and battered weatherboards. Part of it covers one of the entrances, which led into the cellar. Old settlers say that the passageways from this cave extended by re-rays along the Missouri River bluffs over into Eastern Iowa, from where the slaves were sent in many directions. About 100 feet north of the cave is an old-fashioned well where water was drawn by means of a long stick with a bucket on one end and a weight on the other. The authenticity of it as the John Brown cave is attested by a number of old settlers, two of whom helped to smuggle Negroes at various times. THEATER .

President Coolidge, in response to the remarks by Mr. Johnson, told the delegation he was interested in the matter and that while the act committed was a grave one, he would review the cases one by one and see if he could not in some way extend executive clemency to the men.

In the first place, allow us to compare the status of Howard Alumni with that of other alumni. In matters of the most vital importance, the great institutions of learning make their alumni the court of final resort. The alumni of Harvard, acting thru its Board of Over-Seers, overruled President Lowell when yielding to race prejudice, he would trample upon traditions and besmirch the fair name of that fair institution. Despite the fact that the Governor of Virginia and the Legislature desired to move the Medical School of the University of Virginia from Charlottesville to Richmond, the alumni of that famous institution, by a show of strength, were able effectively to defend what they believed to be the best interest of their Alma Mater by staying the hands of Governor and Legislature. It is well, then that the alumni are a potent factor in the lives of our great institutions of learning. There may come times when those in immediate control find it personally advantageous to play the game of politics to the certain disadvantage of their sacred trust. Family ties and relations of friendship may, at times, become a determining factor in matters vital to the well-being of an institution. Hence, the function of a great dynamic alumni body. But what of the status of our alumni body? On February 6th, 1923, in response to a memorial presented by the General Alumni committee, your Honorable Board appointed seven of its members to constitute, with seven members of the Alumni Association, a joint committee to formulate plans for the nomination and election of alumni trustees. This committee unanimously adopted the following resolutions as reported by the Secretary of the University: Office of the Secretary-Treasurer February 23rd, 1923. Voted: That this committee will recommend to the Board of Trustees (in case the by-laws legally altered to that effect) to increase the number of trustees to a maximum of 27 instead of 24, dating from June 1923. Voted: That the committee recommend to the Board of Trustees to consider any recommendation which proceeds from the alumni if it appeared that opportunity has been given to all alumni to express their preference. Voted: That the authorities of the University shall co-operate with the Alumni in preparing lists of alumni for purposes of nomination (for election). Voted: That the Committee will, recommend to the Trustees to choose one of the three men previously recommended to it by the Alumni Association. Voted: That the Alumni Association be requested, in co-operation with the University authorities to take steps to nominate by general mail vote of all the graduates six candidates out of whom two may be elected by the Trustees. Pursuant to these resolutions, the Executive Committee, in co-operation with a representative of the Board of Trustees, secured, by mail vote, three men as the choice of the Alumni for election to this Board of Trustees, and duly reported the matter to this Honorable Board on June 5, 1923. Notwithstanding the results growing out of this agreement, an officer of the University designated as the Alumni and Field Secretary, under date of December 29, 1923, addressed to the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association a letter of instructions with a view of securing nomination for Alumni Trustee, which the above record shows had already been effected. We deplore the fact that this letter, directing the nomination of a successor to the late Dr. J. H. N. Waring bears the very date of the death of this Highly esteemed and faithful member of your Honorable Body. Pursuant to an agreement three years ago between this Board of Trustees and the Alumni Association, we have presented the names of two men on separate occasions, for the Alumni Secretary. Both men were deemed unsatisfactory by the President of the University. This Committee is forced, too, to express its regret and disappointment that after all its nominations for Alumni Secretary had been rejected by the President of the University, there was established, in connection with the administration of the University, the office of Alumni and Field Secretary. This office was established without any participation by the Alumni Association, although, by its very designation, it purports to represent the Alumni Association in its relations to the University, or else its name is a misrepresentation. In the selection of the Field and Alumni Secretary, it is pertinent to observe, that the individual appointed was the same that had been mentioned by name long before by the President of the University as a person desirable to him for Alumni Secretary. The activities of the incumbent of this office are censurable, in that he has buised himself with interfering in matters that are purely in the province of the Alumni control; and his methods, too, have been objectionable, in that they have consisted sometimes in threats to disrupt the organization and at other times, in efforts subtly to control the organization by partisan attempts to elect to office candidates of his own choosin g, and again, in attempts to win over officers elected in spite of his opposition and members, by flattery and offers of favor. This committee makes no claim of right to dictate to your honorable board its economic policy with respect to this office, but resents the attempt of said office to function for the Alumni Association, since the incumbent has no relation to the Association as an officer and does not represent it as Alumni Secretary. The Alumni Association keeps step with the forward march of men and women everywhere to assert their right of self determination in matters of their government and cannot understand how your honorable body, composed so largely as it is of men who hold membership in other bodies like the National Medical Association, Bar Association, and similar organizations that guard so jealously their right of autonomy and relations based thereon, should so lightly regard the claims of our Alumni Association for recognition in the same fundamental right. In connection with the office of Field and Alumni Secretary we wish to read to you a resolution adopted by the Executive Committee at its meeting of January 17, 1924, W. Justin Carter, General President, presiding. "To the General Alumni Association, Howard University: Agreeable to your request, I transmit you, herewith the resolution passed by the Executive Committee on THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FEBRUARY 9, 1924 KAPPA ALPHA PSI ESTABLISHES CHAPTER AT UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Ground Broken for He Buffalo, N. Y.—February 6.—Last week the Kappa Alpha Psi, National Greek letter fraternity, established a chapter at the University of Buffalo in this city. The eleven students who petitioned the grand chapter for the granting of a unit of the Greek letter organization here, were initiated by Dr. Herbert L. Wallace, polemarch of the Cleveland Alumni chapter who was assisted by a delagation of Kappa men from Western Reserve University of Cleveland. The new chapter is known as Phi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, and will be presided over by Homer N. Hall. This is the first chapter to be established during the present year, and is the twenty-first active undergraduate chapter. OMEGA PSI PHI PLEDGEES DANCE The pledges of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Alpha Chapter, Washington, D.C., entertained quite a number of guests at a dance Friday evening, February 2, at the residence of Grant Lucas, 1738 15th Street, Northwest. The members and their guests were Louis Coates, J. Deveaux Elliot, Dutton Ferguson, Thomas Frazier, U. B. Smiht, J. Striphin, Togo West, John R. Cornwell, Percy Newbie, Peter Jones, Wilburn Harris, Louis Foley Campbell, James E. Walker, Raymond DeCosta and Hillis Walters. The Misses Edna Mayer, Nellie Butcher, Cloriss Mayle, Louise Harry, Laura Purcell, A. U.ey Wilson, Thomasena Herriot, Hellen Branchcombe, Bernice Chism, Beatrice Boyd, Ruth Harris, Arlene Pggy Rasper, Lucill Childs and Thelma Nickens. Chaperones for the occasion were Mrs. M. A. Ferguson and Mrs. L. F. Campbell. January 17, 1924: Resolved that the President of the General Alumni Association be instructed to get in communication with various Alumni and with the Local Alumni Associations throughout the country and to inform them that Rev. Emory B. Smith is not the Alumni Secretary chosen by the General Alumni Association, and to request them not to deal with him as such, and he is further directed to so advise the Trustees of Howard University of this action, further advising them that Dr. William Sinclair is the Alumni Secretary, and to ask the Board of Trustees to rescind the action authorizing the selection of Rev. Emory B. Smith as Alumni Secretary." Allow us to add other administrative acts that command the serious attention of the Alumni of Howard: In June 1921, the President of the University appeared before the General Alumni Association, while in session, and urged the re-election of Mr. Emory B. Smith as President. His persistent effort to interfere with our election in 1922 made it necessary for the presiding officer to resort to firm but polite ruling against him. In June 1923, W. Justin Carter was elected President on a single issue which was the autonomy of our Association as opposed to Administrative interference. As a sequel to this election, there appeared in the Washington American, an anonymous letter, in which our Association was referred to as a Sinclair-Nutter-W. L. Smith Aggregation, and was branded as an aggregation of disreputable politicians. The author declared that a new Alumni Association would be formed. The Field and Alumni Secretary, also, said, a day or two later, that a new Alumni Association would be formed—unless, the old Association supported the President of the University. Another source of annoyance and cause for righteous indignation is the Howardite. It purports to be the official organ of the Alumni Association, notwithstanding the fact that it is edited by Emory B. Smith, who is a servant of the administration and not of the Alumni. It is unfair to the Howard Sentinel, the authorized organ of the Association, that it has as a counter influence this periodical, backed by the coffers of the University. We also wish to register our respectful protest against public dances being given by Howard University. Such a procedure we believe to be undignified, without precedent, and fraught with serious danger. Finally, we most earnestly petition this Honorable Body to restore normalcy in the conduct of affairs of Howard University, and, thereby, permit a healthy and proper functioning of all of its parts. This can be done: 1 By recognizing the Alumni Association, and none other, in Alumni matters. 2 By recognizing our nonmixtures for membership to the Board of Trustees as expressed in the recent ballot. 3 By the discontinuance of the Howardite. 4 By the elimination of Alumni status from the office now designated Alumni and Field Secretary. Very respectfully submitted, The Committee. Ground Broken for Catholic School Ground Broken for Catholic School (Continued from page 1) William S. Aumen, of Baltimore, Past State Deputy of the Knights of Columbus and vice-president of the Board of Trustees of the Institute; L. P. Williams, of Wayne, Md., a member of the Maryland House of Delegates and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees; A. C. Monahan, secretary of the Board of Trustees; and several others. The closing address was by Professor Thomas Turner, of Howard University, who is president of the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States, who pledged the support of his organization. The opening prayer was by Father John La Farge S.J., of Ridge, Md., and the closing prayer by Father James B. Matthews, S.J., of Bel Alton, Md., both members of the Board of Trustees. Rev. Hugh A. Dalton, rector at Leonarddown; Md., and Rev. H. J. Parker, S.J., pastor of the colored church adjacent to the school, also took part in the exercises. A local band furnished music. The children of St. Peter Claver school sang several hymns and patriotic songs during the services. Admiral Benson in his remarks commended the committees of colored men and women in many cities, towns, and counties organized to assist this undertaking: "Such efforts on the part of the Negroes throughout the country, deserve the attention of the white race who should be encouraged by this splendid and unselfish effort, to assist a people who are working so hard for the less fortunate ones of their own race. "It is not charity, the building of this institute, it is but giving an opportunity to prosper where little has been given before. If the Negro race receives training and through it becomes more productive and prosperous, it adds to the prosperity of all, white as well as colored. What we do for you, therefore, we do indirectly for ourselves. We are encouraged to do our part because you are doing yours." NEW GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPP ASKS FAIR PLAY FOR RACE law and order and a blot upon our national life. I recognize only the supremacy of the law, and the equality of every man before the bar of justice. I call upon all the law enforcing officials in the commonwealth to use every means within their power to prevent lynching, and thus eliminate a potent cause of race friction and ill feeling. "Wise leaders among the Negroes must be encouraged in their splendid efforts to aid their own people. Points of agreement between the races must be emphasized and points of friction minimized. Every man and woman in the state must see to it that the laws protecting the Negroes in their lives and property are rigorously enforced; that the occasional white man who seeks to profit through the ignorance of his tenants or laborers be forced by the overwhelming weight of an aroused public opinion to give a square deal to all whom he employs, regardless of race or color, and that there be the fullest cooperation between the white man and the black, to the end that peace and prosperity comes to white and black alike through cordial cooperation in the agricultural and industrial upbuilding of the state." Gloria Swanson and New Orchestra at the Republic Gloria Swanson and New Orchestra at the Republic Gloria Swanson in her latest and best Paramount picture. "The Humming Bird," and the installation of the newly organized Republic Theatre Orchestra under the direction of A. Russell Wooding, share equal honors at the Republic, all next week beginning Sunday, Feb. 10th. Miss Swanson has the role of Toinette, known as "The Humming Bird," who heads a gang of Apache thieves and nightly dances for the amusement of society slummers, who are robbed without mercy. Saucy, alert, and piquant, she captivates a young American who wins her heart. Then comes the war, the American enlistes and is wounded, while Toinette is jailed for a theft. How she escapes makes her way to her lover and there finds that she is a heroine are elements of a fascinating story. Miss Swanson offers the finest emotional acting ever contributed to the silent drama. The Republic Theatre Orchestra is to be a permanent feature. The Orchestra, under the capable direction of Mr. Wooding will bring new fame to the Republic. The members are all recognized solo artists, who will play inspiringly music suitable to the pictures as well as the ever popular jazz and concert pieces of the masters. There is every reason to believe that the Republic Theatre Orchestra and Mr. Wooding will lend new lustre to the Republic Theatre as a musical center.

Confidentially, what I really meant to write as the heading of this article is—are you as good to yourself as to your car. But that title took too much space, so I am getting it out of my system in the first paragraph. You can choose either title you wish or like better, but I am going to write what I please. I have known some preachers to take a text, close the book, whoop for an hour or so, and never say a word about the text. Here's where the whooping begins. In these "fliver" days most everybody has a car or a Ford and everybody who is anybody can talk and understand, "car talk." Nowadays people are more sensitive about the condition and performance of their cars than about their own physical defects. You insult a man when you tell him his car rattles like a hail storm upon a tin roof, that it is missing, "drawing oil," the carburator needs adjustment and shows many evidences of mechanical decrepitude. On the other hand, he usually thinks you are "kidding" him when you tell him he is losing flesh, has a cough, poor color and that he better see a doctor. Every one who has a car wants it to last and perform perfectly as long as possible and he is willing to follow the rules laid down for the attainment of this end. Almost every one wants to live to a ripe old age and be comparatively free from sickness through bodies the same care they give their bodies the same care they give their car. Rules of health are neglected and good advice goes by unheeded. Are you as good as your car? But your car—that you oil at every 400 to 500 miles, you clean the spark plugs at regular intervals, have the carbon burned out ever so often, and do the many things necessary to keep your car in good running order. Why not give yourself the same care? Do you think more of your car than of yourself? Are you as good as your car? (Please note return to text.) Now I am going to get personal. If you are under forty years of age, you should see your doctor once a year for a complete examination. If you are perchance over forty you should seek the advice of your physician at least twice a year. It doesn't matter how you think you feel, it is best for you, your family and those who are dependent upon you or love you, to have a physical inventory taken as per above directions. Perhaps you are not "hitting" on all cylinders, your spark plugs may be fouled, your carburator needs adjust- RED & WHITE NORTH 64 TAXI 35c 14 Blocks 65c City Proper $1.75 per Hour Dodge Cars $2.50 hour 7 Passenger Touring and Closed Cars $3.00 per hour ment to keep you from burning too much gas and getting low mileage. It might be well to get rid of that carbon in your cylinders. That "knocking" tells you there's something wrong. Better get the bolts tightened up a bit, before you have a breakdown. It costs a whole lots more to put the old car in the shop for a long stay than does a periodical looking over by an expert. If you are wise you will take the hint, but if you are not wise, or in other words, hard or indifferent, you will take the count. Yes, your car is a wonderful piece of machinery or a wonderful bit of junk—all depending upon the care you give it. But your body is more wonderful than any car ever built, and will fight like blazes to keep from going to the scrap heap, yet you must give it a chance, for when it goes it has a habit of taking you along with it. All who do not want to be junked and put upon the scrap heap, hold up your hands! Then remember if under forty go to your doctor once a year, and if over forty go to him at least twice a year and make him tell you the truth about the "old boat."

CONGRATULATES THE ATTITUDE OF THE TRIBUNE Dear Sir: Permit me to congratulate you for the part you play in developing right ideals of thought and conduct on the part of your readers through your editorials. Your editorials of Saturday, expressing your opinion of Mr. Grimke's remarks, and "The Measure to a Colored Gentleman" were in keeping with your customary "New Negro" interpretation of the problems of today. I have sometimes disagreed with your criticisms of the N.A.A.C.P. but have felt that frank expressions aided those who steer the organization (even though some contributors, even willing to find an excuse to drop support) and that they were helped in this course by your statements. It is a splendid thing for Washington that the Colored press speaks so truly and so clearly in public matters. Keep up the good work.

The letter charges the Dunbar basketball team's coach with poor sportsmanship and assails Chairman Henderson for backing up the stand of the Dunbar coach. Mr. Henderson would only make the statement that "the entire affair was in the hands of the principal" of the Dunbar School. Mr. McDuffie, coach of the Dunbar quint could not be reached but another Dunbar official who apparently is familiar with the situation stated, "the Dunbar Athletic Committee failed to notify coach McDuffie until Jaunary and that the games had been moved back from March—which for a number of years has been the month the games were played in—to January. And McDuffie requested that the dates be changed until after February 15th, to allow him time to get his team in shape. Armstrong officials refused this request and there was nothing else Dunbar could do." The text of the letter sent to Mr. Henderson which is now in the hands of Principal Smith follows: Mr. E. B. Henderson, Chairman, Inter-High School Games Committee. Dear sir: Pursuant to a call of Mr. E. B. Henderson, Chairman of the High School Games' Committee a meeting of said committee was held in the Dunbar High School in October, 1923. There were present Mr. Henderson, Chairman; Mr. Russell representing Dunbar High School also Mr. Miller and Mr. Clifford representing the Armstrong Manual Training School. In disposing of the matter of interschool games the committee delegated its authority to Mr. Henderson of Dunbar High School and Mr. Miller of Armstrong School representing each school respectively with power to make a schedule of inter-high school contests. These representatives came to an agreement in October 1923 that the basketball games between Dunbar High School and Armstrong Manual Training School should be played on January 24, 1924 and January 31, 1924. The selection of an official, it was agreed, would be made at a later date but prior to the games. The above dates were definitely authorized by the inter-high school games committee through its delegated representatives and each school being so represented, that school had notice of the dates as determined. In view of a failure to select an official up to January 23rd, 1924, two members of the committee waited upon the Chairman and acquainted him with the failure of the committee of such selection. The chairman thereupon called a meeting and acquainted the committee of his reasons for failure to observe the prior authorized agreement as entered into by himself representing the D. H. School and the inter-high school games committee, and Mr. Miller representing A, M. T. S. and the inter-high school games committee. The chairman stated his refusal to carry out the agreement was based upon a complaint filed by the coach of the Dunbar basket ball team to the effect that (1) he (the coach) had not been notified of the dates; (2) that his team was not ready to compete against Armstrong on dates as arranged, because of such failure of notice; (3) that a precedent had been established for the playing of games in March and that by changing to an earlier date an anti-climax to the basket ball season would be brought about to which he did not subscribe The Chairman although (1) a party to the arrangement of the games as of January 24, and 31, although (2) with absolute knowledge of the coaches actual notification to the coach on January 2, 1924 and of the constructive knowledge through himself as representative of D. H. S. and the publication of the dates through the office of Miss Julia Brooks, Dean of Girls, in October 1923, although N. Y.

Lincoln Athletes in Gambling Scandal "Lincoln University, Pa., February 8—Seventeen Lincoln University students, including prominent athletes, have been suspended for a two-week period by the authorities for alleged gambling. Among the athletes alleged to have been named are "Whirlwind" Johnson, star halfback and captain of the 1923 football team; Morgan, All-American center; and Massey Woods, captain of the varsity basketball team. The suspensions will be lifted on February 11th. Four professors are also reported involved in the scandal. (3) in reaching the agreement as to dates selected he expressed his opinion that the game should be played prior to the close of the first semester in order to avoid eligibility contentions, yet, nevertheless, he felt it within the province of his office to subscribe his support to the unsportsmanlike attitude assumed by the coach to the prejudice of the Armstrong Manual Training School and the destruction of those inter-school relationships for which the committee was organized. It is contended that the request of the Coach of the Dunbar High School basketball team was unreasonable and unsportsmanlike for the following reasons: (1) The basket ball season begins December 15th and a coach is presumed to prepare his team at that time, (2) the coach admits knowledge of contests on January 2nd when games were to be played on January 24 and 31st, more than three weeks intervening, which time is considered reasonable to prepare a team (3) the Dunbar High School basketball team played three games between January 2nd and January 24th scheduling and playing a game on January 24th with a knowledge of the Armstrong game on that date. Because of the very apparent discrimination and prejudiced displayed by the chairman of the committee which committee exists for the purpose of fostering sport and equitable and just relations between the two schools, the faculty athletic advisors composed of the following members, with the approval of the principal, do hereby and herewith, sever for an indefinite period all athletic relationships with the Dunbar High School. Very truly yours, I. N. Miller, M. C. Clifford, Clayda J. Williams, P. T. Rayford, S. V. Jennings, M. W. Rubel, M. P. Adams, J. B. —, B. Washington, Edward P. Washington, George H.

NEWMAN Principal THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FEBRUARY 9, 1924 The "Flashes" of Philadelphia, traveling with only five men, were the guests of the Alco quint at the Colonnade, Friday night, and by the narrow margin of one point carried the locals' scalp back to the city of Brotherly Love. Only the big lead obtained by the visitors in the first half saved them the victory for the Alcoes rallied from he count of 6-17 against them and were just nosed out in the final minute, 28-27. Berry, Neale and Graves scintillated for the locals while all of the visitors showed rare ability until they became exhausted. Line-up and summary: Alco (27) Flashes (28) Berry L.F.

Hampton Jolted by Howard Hampton Jolted by Howard The championship aspirations of the Hampton Institute basketball team received a severe set-back at the Armstrong gym, Saturday night when the Howard machine conquered the Virginians by the count, 22 to 20. The game was fast throughout and featured by airtight guarding on the part of both teams. Many shots from one-half of the court and from difficult angles were made. The entire Hampton aggregation was good even in defeat while McCoy, Clarkson, Morrow and Carpenter stood out on Coach Burr's combination. Howard (22) Hampton (20) MeCoy (c) . . . LF. . . . Jones F.

During the first half the New Yorkers were decisively outplayed but were able to hold the score to 11 all. The spectacular passing and shooting of Kid (Hilton) Slocum who accounted for 16 points and the clever guarding of Monde were the chief factors in the New Yorkers' victory. Mare Wheatland and Benny Hill, totaled 19 points between them and probably played the greatest game of their careers. Mayo and Barbour deserve much credit for their skillful guarding against more experienced rivals. Line-up and summary: Carlisle (21) Renaissance (28) Hill ..... L.F. ..... Dash Ed, Davis .....

Ben Taylor, Jim Keenan, Charlie Spedden, Nat Strong and Ed. Bolden will tackle the schedule making job. It is virtually understood that an eighty-game lay-out will be drafted and submitted to the Commissioners at a later meeting of the entire body. Potomacs to Train Here Manager Taylor has been bending his entire efforts this week to securing a suitable place to work his athletes into shape. Last year the Potomacs trained at Richmond but Taylor has definitely decided to take advantage of local surroundings and work out here. Union League or Sandy Springs parks are under consideration. Already, the local's chieftain has more than a score of players under contract leaving about a half dozen still outside the fold. When the season starts this number will be cut to about eighteen. Record Crowd to see Girls Play Enthusiasm in the coming Girl's basketball game between the New York Blue Belts, national champions, and the Baltimore Orioles which will be played at the Colonnade on Valentine night, February 14, is at a high pitch. No game on the local basketball calendar this season has stirred up as much interest. Both the Blue Belts and Orioles displayed their wares before the local populace last winter. The Blue Belts have victories over the country's leading colored and white teams. Both teams will present all-star teams. The New Yorkers have in Misses Dobson and Eliason, two of the best performers of the fairer sex that can be found. In fact, few male players have anything on this combination. The Orioles also have in Misses White and Spriggs two stars of the first magnitude. A preliminary game will be staged between the Community A. A. and Shiloh, two of the fastest local junior teams now active in the District. This game will be refereed by Chris Huisswoud, manager of the Blue Belts, one of the country's leading officials. Wills Replies to Dempsey Wills Replies to Dempsey In reply to Jack Dempsey's statement that he considered Harry Wills the easiest to whip of the trio—Firpo, Gibbons and Wills; the latter, as interviewed by Farnsworth, stated: "Boxing contests are not won in the newspapers. While I have been chasing Jack Dempsey for three years, he has never been willing to exchange anything but verbal blows in the columns of the papers with me. . . "Then Dempsey goes on to say that I'd probably figure on making a toe-to-toe fight with him, should we meet, and that at close quarters he would tear me to pieces. Now, again I do not care to boast, but I have never yet seen a fighter who could whip me in close. I would tie Dempsey in knots when we locked, and have no doubt that I would flatten him at this style of fighting in a very few rounds. I am sure I am stronger than Dempsey, and this extra strength would count much at this kind of ex-changing." The Community A.A. quint will take on the "Silent Five" which includes many former Armstrong stars at the "Y" gym on Wednesday night, February 6 at 7:30 o'clock. W. E. L. SANFORD, Manager.

L.

S. Stribling’s nov- €1 of the same title. Mr. Micheaux is t LL. PARKER. the head of the — Mr. Micheaux is i, L, PARKER the head of the Michewux Film Corporation, a Negro company, of Chicago. By courtesy of The Dunbar man- agement, I saw it “screened” last fall at The Dunbar. Since then I have read the novel, but have been unable: to deduce the motive for its writing. It is not a nice story to read, nor does it reveal true conditions. At a time when we are trying hard to forget the conditions of slavery, this story like unto the “Birth of a Nation” comes as a very distasteful production. Micheaux as another Judas has ap- peared to sell us for a few of Uncle Sam's calling cards; for, for no other reason can I see Mr. Micheaux is prompted to spread further 2 depie- tion of the diabolical circumstances that we are striving continually to remove. Such acts make us doubt the sincerity of our leaders, Negro editors and. private individ- uals directed bitter criticisms-at Strib- lings novel “The Birthright,” when it appeared, Those of us who have actu- ally lived in the South know that Peter Siner is a false character. Cissie Dil- dine, “the white man’s woman,” we admit, is far too numerous. But to make Siner, a Harvard graduate, wil- fully buy a piece of property that he cannot use ard then marry Cissie Knowing too that she was soon to give birth toa white man’s child—well, that’s what Sherman called frar. It shows that our best accept without question what the white man con- tinually says of us, that we are com- placently immoral. It is almost inconceivable that a Negro would. produce a picture and send it over the land,that young girls’ und boys’ minds.may belpolluted with an influence from which we most ear- westly ‘desire to keep them far_re- moved. Even though Osear Micheaux somewhat changed the story, the idea of Stribling still remains. Is he not a traitor who shows his own race up im such a manner? Does it not show selfishness, lack of vision, lack of rac- ial public service? If you like the “Birthright” then you love the “Birth of w Nation.” “Posterity alone is capable of pass- ing judgment upon an outstanding fig- ure,” is the gist @f &n old saying, A friend is too inols an enemy too prone to criticise and not to chronicle. This is_not: altogether a true, saying, For quile adequate and acceptable bi- ogvaphies of great men have been written by eontemporarigs. ‘The austerity of deportment and self-contained egoism threw Woodrow Wilson into Somewhat a state of iso- lation as far as warm, personal friend- ships were concerned. Not even Wil- tiam F, MeCoombs, his eampaign man- ager, got particularly close to Wilson, the individual. Even though he pro: fessed a desire to have all mankind “Jove” him, he was wholly lacking in chat personal magnetism which at- tracts the multitude. As an educator he was aggressive and so Divinely or- dained in his convictions that he fell little short of a bigot. Thgre is no doubt that he loved humanity as a whole, but he was unwilling to sacri- fice personal prejudice to realize his ideal. It was this inability to subdue personalities, refusal to give up per- sonal animosities, that was his un- doing. He trampled over little men nas quickly and’ as readily ashe did great men—a bad policy, for little men are tog numerous. ‘And yet, despite his belligerent dis- position, his stubborn contempt. for compromise, he was twice elected our Chief Exceutive—after serving New Jersey, his adopted State, as: Governor first as a minority President, due in a large measure to the faetional dis- turdances caused by Roosevelt in the Republican camp, and a second time, aided by the slogan, “He Kept Us Out of War) by = narrow margin in the ‘Electoral College and by 2 popular majority far smaller than Taft or ‘Roosevelt, But so compelling was his talent for making himself heard that the was able to make even a half- mutinous Congress approve a body: of ‘more authority than any-other Presi- dent ever had. _ ‘Mr, Wilson lived in an epoch which would have made even Taft. a great hare been left to tell.

It served a great pur- pose during the war and serves an even greater one now. In the future when we think of Wil- son, we will think of the “Fourteen Points,” the idealistie platform by wh'ch he sought to reknit the family of nations, of him who would “adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doctrine of the world,” of him who had acquired a philosophy through in- tellect and calm religious devotion that so inured him to the thought of death that he was prepared to face death as he had faced life: without fear. Mae Murray Next to Play Dual Role _ May Murray in “Fashion Row,” her new Tiffany production for Metco re- lease, will be the stellar attraction at the Lincoln Theatre next week. Written for Miss Murray by Sada ‘Cowan and Howard Higgin, “Fashion Row” gives the popular Metro star the interesting dual role of two sisters. One of them is the famous Olga Farinova, toast of Broadway, and the other is a grubby little Russian peas- ant girl named Zita, who comes to America to find her sister. On: the ‘immigrant steamer Zita meets a sin- ister figure named Kaminoff. T: ‘Kaminoff she shows a photograph of her sister, and its unmistakable re- semblance to a dancing girl he onec knew in a Russian dive brings back to Kaminoff bitter memories.

Before a capacity crowd, at the “Y” last Thursday night, the Shiloh Quint fell before the rallying attack of the strong Community A. A. Yellow- jackets to the score 47-37. Starting the second period with the score, 19-13 against them, the Yellow. inckets came back to “give "em a thrill,” and a thrill they gave to both the audience and Shiloh. Starting things on the very first jump Captain “Specs” Lee caged.one from near mid- court after a series of baffling passes by his teammates. In the next jump little “Timmie” Neal made the nets “swish.” Then “Ole Reliable Zig” Johnson (not to be outdone) dribbled down from his guard position and contributed. another, the cheering gal- lery was converted into a howling mob. With “Slim” Frazier coming to life and “Brother” Gray and Joe Walker performing a stellar role in guarding, the Community Lads exhibited a team play not to: be easily excelled.

SPORTS YELLOWJACKETS WIN. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FEBRUARY 9, 1924 Scholastics Trim St. Cyprians St. Cyprian’s Big Five traveled to Baltimore with a full squad for the first time this season and put-up a surprising attack on the Champion Scholastics by holding: the game ta a close score of 22 to 29 in favor of Baltimore. Slade and Greefield brought cheers with their long shots. ‘The Saints had the score up to 10 before the Stholasties counted 3 points, Slade was put out on four personal fouls for the first time: in his cateer, evidently weakening the offense of the local boys. Carroll out. for the second time this season displayed his old time form so well known to Washington fans. Camp- bell displayed a floor game which shows improvement in this depart ment ef the game. Booze played well. Gyeenfield con- tinues to stand out as one of the best guards in D.C. Dorsey who replaced Slade was determined to give his op- position plenty of work. Brown, Captain'of Baltimore, stands out as one of the best forwards in Bal- timore and with a little more experi- ‘ence will be equal to any in the east. He was high point scorer of the game, getting 6 field goals and four free tosses for 2 total of 16 points. + ates ita Sik Samia ‘Cubalestion 20 ee eee ee Pee A Carell evis2p besa Pe.

Cole, Presiding Elder of the Brooklyn District, A.M.E. Church. As athletic records for individuals, teams and schools are so inadequate, it would be a mighty fine thing if men who have been connected with ath- leties would send to their schools any information of importance garding athletic achievments. Ina reeent communication to Dr. W. G. Alexander, Graduate Manager of Lincoln, Rev. Cole states that the first game played between Lincoln and Howard was in 1894, and resutled in a 6-4 score in favor of Lineoln. The Lincoln line-up was as follows: C. H.

LINCOLN BASKETEBERS HERE FEBRUARY 15th Howard's basketball team will take on the Lincoln “Lions” at the Arm- strong Gym, Friday afternoon, Febru- ary 15, at 4:00 o'clock. The brilliant showing made by the Blue and White quint against Hampton make them a favorite for this game. The “Lions” have a very strong team and with the return of Captain Woods and K. Trigg to. the line-up, will likely make things interesting for the “Bisons.” : AthleticBoard Wanted . for Howard The establishment of a Board of Athletic Control to be composed of nine members, three each, from the Alumni, Faculty and Student body; the selection by the Board of a Graduate Manager for all sports who shail give his full time and be paid a salary for his services; the separation of the offices of ‘Physical Director and Coach, the latter to come under the absolute power of the Board; and*an appeal for a bet- ter understanding between the Uni- versity Administration and the General Alumni Association in the promotion of a program for 2 Greater Howard, were the principal recommendations of the delegatior of six Howard graduates that wer« called to conference by President Durkee on January 18th, to dig inte the football situation. BASKETBALL NOTES Announcement has been made that the Alco-Carlisle “blood game” is booked for March 3 at the Colonnade. Few mail amateur _basketeers have anything on Miss Eliason, the pretty forward of the Blue Belts. Misses White and Spriggs of the Bal- timore Orioles will also thrill the spectators when these teams hook up Valentine. night at the Colonnade, Kenner would be a far more valu- able man to the Aleo if he would ‘cease using that one-board basketball toss. Ed Davis’ poor showing against the Renaissance probably knocked him out of a job with the New Yorkers. Dash had recommended him highly to “Bob” Douglas the R’s manager. However, it is claimed that Davis had been ill the entire day of the game and being wenk could not do himself justice. “Burney” Brown and: “Bip” Brooks are of the opinion that they can “gc ‘on forever” they are willing to take a fling at footbull, baseball, tennis or basketball.

RAISE $50,000 | An interesting indication of the sub- stantial interest in Howard Universi. ty being shown by its alumni an¢ ‘former students is to be noted in the ‘campaign for $50,000 just put under way by the members of the college class of 1920. The campaign is being “headed up” by a local committee which was authorized by the class at its first reunion in 1922, in its desire to indicate in some way its love and loyalty to Howard, to formulate a plan by which some definite and con. structive aid could be given by the WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY “HELD TO ANSWER” A Metro Picture Cast includes- House Peters, Grace Carlyle, John Sainpolis and “Bull” Montana “FIGHTING BLOOD” Round No. 11 “THE BUSHER” £duc.

Hughes, Isadore Williams, Bessie Barbre, Ernest Gordon, Jessie Hailstalk, Osear H. Bragg, Viola Tay- lor, Horace Sparks, Ophelia Davidson, and Norman L. McGhee. The committee, in sekeing to ascer- tain how the class could best help the university, learned that the immediate great need of Howard is-the providing. of a sum of approximaely $50,000 to cover the expenditures which have been involved in the great physical im- ‘provements made in the University plant during the past few years, and for, those improvements now in con- templation in connection with the re- furnishing of class-rooms and dormi- tories for young men and women, an‘ decided to undertake to raise this sum of money. According to the plan under which the class of 1920 is conducting the campaign for the $50,000, communi- cations are being sent by members of the class to alumni and various friends throughout the country. Each mem- ber of the class is to contribute not les than ten dollars, and in addition, is to assist in the campaign by ad dressing letters to various friends ask ing similar contributions. The letter sent out by Miss Helen D, Brown, permanent secretary and chairman of the campaign committec of the class of 1920, contains the fol- lowing paragraphs which indicate the earnestness with which the local’ com: mittee has commenced its work: “Our Alma Mater has few great philanthropists to support it as is true | of many other schools devoted to’ the education of Colored Youth, and yet || Howard is the one National Universi ty of the Colored People of America. '| To successfully put over a progran: to raise $50,000 for the University. will mean a great deal, not only to the class of 1920, but to every person in- terested in Howard. As a start on this ambitious and most worthy cam- paign, we, the nine members of the local committee of the elass of 1920 ro contributed our quota of tem dol- lars each. “Howard University must be sus- tained by the Colored people of the United States, If we, Colored people, do not assume our responsibilities, then it is likely to be true that liberal and professional education among us will suffer.” & modest conrtibution on your part at this time will help im- mensely.” Perhaps no better indication of the growing desire on the part of the Colored youth of today to accept the idea of self-help in race deviopment is to be seen than this noteworthy ef- fort on th part of this group of recent graduates. Already responses to the appeal are being reeived by officers of , the University. PAGE FIVE . THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE Published Weekly at Washington, D.

Under the leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a petition was presented on Thursday, signed by more than 420,000 persons, asking for a review of their cases by the President and a pardon for each man, if possible. We hold no brief for an evil doer. We are law abiding and stand for itapartial law enforcement. We admit that ‘some members of ‘the 24th In- fantry “shot up Houston” on the night of August 23, 1917. But, if the criminal courts of the Iand-can and do take into consideration mitigating circumstances, when dealing with those brought before the bar for trial, and if citizens are within their rights to petition the governors and pardon boards of the States for such leniency, then the definite mitigating cir- cumstances which preceded the shooting up of Houston. could ‘well be re- viewed and considered in the cases of these men. % We are not ‘basing our claim for-a pardon for these men upon “color” but upon simply justice in consideration of the extenuating. circumstances which provoked the act. - Upon arriving in Houston, to do guard duty, certain members of the 24th Infantry were placed on-certain beats in the city without arms. Instead of co-operation with these “military police,” the city police, all white, har- assed and insulted them. The members of the 24th Infantry could not re- concile the actions of the Houston police with the following principles, which had been a part of their military instruction: “Superiors are forbid- den to injure those under their authority by tyrannical or capricious conduct, oi by abusive language. . . . All officers in dealing with enlisted men, will bear in mind the absolute necessity of so treating them .as to preserve their self-respect.” On the morning of August 23d, 1917, two city policemen arrested a col- cored woman and were taking her bodily to the police station, very thinly clad. She asked permission to put on more clothes. Alonzo Bdwards, a private of the 24th, was passing at the time and suggested to the police that ‘they permit the woman to dress for the street. They jumped on him and beat him up frightfully and carried him to jail. That afternoon, Corporal Baltimore asked the two policemen for infor- mation regarding the arrest of Edwards, so that he could report it to his commander at the camp. He, too, was promptly struck over the head with ‘ pistol in the hands of one of the policemen, and as he ran, the policemen shot at him. News reached the camp that Baltimore had been killed by the city police. That night some one ran down the camp street shouting that a mob was coming. The men ran for their guns and, under the leadership of Sergt. Henry, rushed to the City of Houston, shooting at every white per- son they saw, In the army, the “top” Sergeant wields wonderful power over the pri- yates. Sergt. Henry and Corporal Baltimore were held in high esteem by the men of the 24th, and after hearing the news of Baltimore's death, at the call of Sergt. Henry, “Let’s go,” the men who fell in line that night never thought but that they were doing their duty. Another fact in the case that should be considered, is that the command- ing officer, Col. Newman, who had been with the 24th for more than two years, was ordered away from Houston on/.\ugust 21st, two days before the shooting. Capt. K. S. Snow, who had been with the 24th, only six months, was promoted to Major and placed in charge of the battalion, when Col. Newman left. Maj. Snow was alleged to be an imbecile, and his men had little regard for him because of his alleged lack of moral-character. And if he did give orders for the men to remain in camp that night, these orders could have been promulgated only through the Sergeants. Therefore, if the order was not promulgated by the Sergeants, and on the contrary, Sergeant Henry «rdered the men to fall in line and gave orders for the men to move for- ward, then the respofisibility rested upon him. He evidently realized the seriousness of what he had done and is alleged to have shot himself under ‘a tree, some distance from the camp, following the riot. < ‘Therefore, if all of the circumstances which preceded the shooting up of Houston, are taken into consideration; including the fact that the riot at East St. Lovis had occurred only about a month previous, which helped to’ in- crease distrust in the hearts of colored people as to their safety, and also the fact that all the men who exercised any degree of leadership have al- ready suffered the death penalty, then it appears that there are sufficient extenuating grounds on which the President may justifiably extend clem- ency to those still remaining in’ prison, all of whom have served at least six years. HOWARD AND ITS ALUMNI ‘The incident of the cutting out 6f $207,000 from the appropriation for Howard University last week, by Representative Byrnes brought out a fact that is worthy of consideration.” ‘That fact is the relation of the Howard Alumni to the University, or the lack of relation. The Alumni of every big university in this country are loyal to their in- stitution. When that institution is threatened from any source, the Alumni are heard from in no unmistakable terms. Take the recent case of segregation of the Jews at Harvard University. The Harvard Alumni informed the President that they would not stand for his order discriminating against the Jews; hence the order was rescinded. Some interests in Richmond wanted to move a part of the University of Virginia from Charlottesville to Richmond. The Alumni objected and the. school remains intact. a e Howard was attacked last week by Congressman Byrnes, on the floor of the House. Did the Alumni of Howard offer a protest? Not so that you heard oi it. Have any of the Alumni wired their Congressmen or Senators to sec that the appropriation was replaced? If so it has not beet made public. One sad feature of the situation at Howard is the fact that there is lacking ‘that spirit of loyalty to the University that should exist. After leaving the campus, the students soon forget the University. This lack of co- operation does not augur well for the University. One diffieulty of the situation is that a white president and white instruc- tors can hardly inspire young Negroes of today with that spirit which should be expected: This is especially true when that president has lost the confi- dence of the Alumni. There will never be the proper relation existing be- tween Howard University and its Alumni so long as a man of Dr. Durkee’s type is at the head of the University, especially if he is white. The Alumni at Howard are very much in opposition to the present administration. of Howard and little advance can be expected so long as this administration is continued. Since. Howard is virtually a national school, it should be the center of inspiration of the race and particularly should it inspire those_who attend any of its various schools. The failure of Howard in this respect is a sad commentary on the University management. 5 NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Jan. 31— National Negro Health Week will be observed this year from March 30 to April 5th, according to plans adopted at.a meeting of twety re- Presentatives of social-and civic agen- cies held here last week.

RAPP fine increase | New York City, Jan. 24—Mr. Chas. G. Rapp, vice president fo the Chelsa Exchange Bank and manager of the Harlem branch of this bank, located on Seventh Avenue and West 135th Street, has appointed Mrs. Florence D. Richardson as his secretary. Mrs. Richradson is an expert stenographer. She was employed some time ago by this bank. Upon the resignation of Mr. Rapp’s secretary, Mrs. Richard. son was promoted to’ that position. This brarich being located in the strietly colored section of Harlem, the colored people protested to Mr. Rapp for his lack of recognition given them in the matter. of employees in the bank. Mrs. Richardson's appointment is the result of their protest and re- quest for more employees. The absolute justice of the system of things is as clear to me as any scien- tific fact. The gravitation of sin to sorrow is as certain as that of the earth to the sun and more so, for ex- -perimented proof of the fact is in reach of us all—nay, is before us all in our own lives, if we had but the eye to see it—Huxley. Let me say right here that the art of doing business is the high art of getting the best results out of the ae man. Geniuses are few and far between and hard to catch and I might also add, difficult to handle. : —os Asks Pres. to Pardon Soldiers } | (Continued from page 1) |_ Wm.

This band was organized in January 1921 by Dorey T. Rhodes. During the few years of its existence it has developed under his able leadership until it now ranks as one of the best bands of our race. Howard's band was recently in- vited to compete for the Wanamaker trophy at Philadelphia. Competing against the Imperial Elks band of New York City, and The Wanamaker band of Philadelphia, in which it took second prize, winning over New York ce. by over fifty points. ‘The band rendered its part . of the program so far above what the pub- lic expected that it left an im- pression on the Alumni and friends that will long be remembered. |The proceeds of this concert will go to Howard University and the Com- eo Center Department.

Consequently we made the initiative effort towards organizing these various groups, the first of which is the Music Students’ group. We met with an enthusiastic response immediately, and all applaug- ed the effort. ‘That is encouraging in- deed. The young music talent of this city needs a music club of their own which is not dominated by experienced musicians but which should be advised by the. music teachers whose pupils are represented jn the organization. Mrs. Rosella Gilbert Molson accepts the temporary presidency. She is a former pupil of Prof. R. W. Tibbs and 1a former student of Howard Univer- sity. Miss Julia Coles accepts the temporary secretary’s position like- jwise, “Miss Coles is a pupil at the Col- ‘umbia Conservatory of Music and a member of the senior class of 1924 ‘at Dunbar High School. These two young ladies are out enrolling the names of music students wherever found. Since they can’t reach every music student, personally, those desir- ing to join may send in their names and addresses to the music editor, 1911 Ninth Street, Northwest. ‘The first meeting will be held the last of this month, so join immediate- ly if you will. Features are musical social and financial aid to worthy members in pursuance of their musical education; monthly —_pro- grams will be held giving students an opportunity to develop their talent; prize contests will be held annually. Clubs will be formed in each section of the city holding monthly meetings and all the inter-seetional clubs will meet in a federated body quarterly. Each club will operate as such with officers and the federated body will do likewise as the parent body. All music teachers represented by pupil mem- bers will be members of the Teachers’ Advisory Council cooperating with the clubs and federation body who shal offer the annual prizes and act as judges of musical contests. Each inter-sectional club’ will hold contests and the winners in various clubs will compete before the feder- ation annually. Foreign students are welcome as members.

Alice's First Letter Dear Editor: This is the first time I have written to the "Children's Page." My name is Alice Hill. I live at 1946 2nd Street, Northwest. I have been trying different drawings and have received two tickets so far. I am going to try some more puzzles and I wish to be a Tribunite. ALICE M. HILL (9) EDITOR'S CHAT There are times when you may think that your tasks are hard; that your studies are too hard; that too much is expected of you. The things which are counted big in the world's events were not done over night. It takes perseverance to put over a big job—and the successful school year is the big job of every boy and girl. Think of this: Work on the Oxford Dictionary has been under way since 1859. The dictionary is not yet completed. Nine volumes have been published. The tenth and concluding volume is still in process of completion, and publication. It would probably be safe to say that literally hundreds who spent years of their life on this great work have not lived or will not live to see it completed. The dictionary in its present state extends to 14,597 pages and deals with 391,710 words, illustrated by 1,704,318 quotations. These quotations were collected in an interesting way. Back in the sixties, a call was issued for volunteers to assist in the work. Readers sent in thousands of quotations. These were filed in pigeonholes which lined the walls of the workrooms. As the study progressed, it became clear that the immensity of the work had not been fully realized. Additions have constantly been made to the staff. Now that completion is finally in sight, it is natural that the English should be boastful of this monumental work. In fact, it seems that a record has been established for speed, notwithstanding that sixty-four years have elapsed since the work was started. The preparatory work for the Deutsches Wortbuch was begun by Jacob and Wilhelm Grim in 1838. It is only five-sixths done. The beginnings of the Dutch dictionary date from 1850. The portion of the work now published amounts to 12,565 pages (equal to less than 5,000 pages of the Oxford Dictionary) and contains about three-fifths of the Dutch vocabulary. All of this required, time, patience, and persistent hard work. It is so easy to do the little things—it is so easy. That is why the easy thing has very little value. There is no demand for the finished product. Anybody can "do" the "so easy" thing—why pay for it? Get in the habit of doing the difficult things. Start a problem and stick to it. Start a task and stick to it. Don't fret over your studies, today you have time to investigate (study) and learn the "why" of things. When you become grown it will be expected of you to know. There will be little time to investigate. You won't be able to bluff you will THURS. & FRI., FEB. 14 & 15 OBSERVE THIS Write all communications plainly; write on one side of paper; give name, age, address, school, and school class. Please write your age after your name in "every letter." A Favorite Poem Dear Editor: Here is a poem I learned. I read it in "The 'Brownies' Book." Its title is "The Lament of a Vanquished Beau." It was composed by Langston Hughes who contributed stories and poems to "the Brownies' Book." Willy is a silly boy, Willy is a cad. Willy is a foolish kid, Sense he never had. Yet all the girls like Willy— Why I cannot see— He even took my best girl Right away from me. I asked him did he want to fight, But all he did was grin And answer, "Don't be guilty Of such a brutal sin." Oh! Willy's sure a silly boy, He really is a cad. Because he took the only girl That I 'most ever had. Her hair's so long and pretty And her eyes are very gay; I guess that she likes Willy 'Cause he's handsome, too, they say, But for me, he's not good looking; And he sure has made me mad, 'Cause he took the only girl That I 'most ever had. I hope that you will publish this poem. I like it and perhaps there are other Tribunites who would enjoy reading it. Character Dear Editor: I am writing you a little motto. It is called "Character." Character is power, it is influence; it makes friends, creates funds, draws patronage; it is an easy way to wealth, honor and happiness. have to know things. Read this little clipping and think. You've got to have the goods, my boy, If you would finish strong; A bluff may work a little while, But not for very long; A line of talk all by itself Will seldom see you through; You've got to have the goods, my boy, And nothing else will do. I have been wanting to become a Tribune for a long time. I am very interested in the "Children's Page." I will be a member if you will accept me. I am in the 5th grade at Enoch Ambush school. Annie's Sister is Interested Dear Editor: I have not written to you this year so I thought it was time to write to you. My older sister is so interested in the "Children's Page" she thinks that she would like to join the Tribunites. Her name is Laura J. Bowe; she attends Armstrong High School. This is her second term there. Dean Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" weekly and I find it very interesting. Having answered the puzzles and winning a prize every week, I feel it my duty to write to you.

Children, - Admission I will be very, very much disappointed if you don't enroll me as a "Tribunite." I think Miss Scott's idea of the "Tribunites" having, pen names" will appeal to most of them; I would like mine to be "Billy Whiskers." Dear Editor: I am writing you a gem this week and it is called "Myself." "I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as the days go by always to look myself straight in the eye; I don't want to stand with the setting sun and hate myself for things I've done. "I don't want to keep on a closet shelf a lot of secrets about myself, and fool myself, as I come and go, into thinking that nobody else will know the kind of woman I really am. I don't want to dress up myself in shame." MARGARET BLAND NOTE: Edward Washington also sent in this poem. It is good for you, Edward, to admire such sentiment: "The kind of man I really am." I don't want to dress myself in shame." CONTEST picture, three theater tickets will be given.

We regret very much that so many readers of the Tribune did not receive their papers last week. The names of the patrons of Howard Evans were not received by us until Sunday night. A week ago Howard gave the list of names to his sister, who was to see that the list was given to us. She forgot to deliver the list to us. Jacqueline Diggs, another carrier, forgot to send in his list of patrons. We think that we have all of our former patrons now. If you know of friends who would like to have this paper mailed to them, please notify us.

Powell, former pastor of Alfred Street Baptist Church, of this city, has recently accepted a new charge in Philadelphia, Pa. He preached his first sermon there on Sunday, February 3. Coming from Carton Street Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he has been pastor The Washington Tribune LIFE INSURANG: ITS MEANING AND RELATIONSHIP (Continued from page 1) viewed it plays an important part Let us then examine it while it is per forming its function in society in order to ascertain the meaning of what occurs. An ancient sage commenting on the discoveries of his time ruefully, yet truthfully, remarked "out of the past comes the present" and a study of sociology shows that for every distinguishing feature marking our present state of society from the early stages of barbarism we are indebted to the past. Each individual is indebted in proportion as he has received and the present day individual, educated and developed under the social processes of this generation, owes a great debt. How can he pay it? Surely the debt is too large to be paid at once, it must therefore, be spread over a period of time and alas, time is the one thing he is not sure of. He may die tomorrow. The man who dies in early life cannot possibly pay his debt by ordinary methods but Life Insurance has devised a method thru which he may, by a small sum he has already earned, and other sums which he may earn in any selected period of time as long as he lives, provide for the payment of his social debt whether he dies young or lives long. When a group of men insure their lives, what does it mean to them? It means that they have initiated a new social process by which they will be able to pay their social debt, in other words, the probability that they or any member of their families will ever be added to the dependent group in society is greatly decreased. Life Insurance shows him that a certain proportion of the men of his age will die in the coming year, others will die during the present year and other members, based upon an average of past mortality experience, will die during each ensuing year until all of his group are dead. It points out to him as near as is humanly possible, man's answer to the biblical plea "teach us Lord to number our days." This brings to bear an increasing sense of self respect and of freedom. He has made provision from his own resources for paying his debt; and he now plans and works, not in doubt, but with the assurance that his plans may be carried out no matter when death intervenes. If you have any doubts as to the assurance of your plans, 'phone Potomac 1643 and let a Federal Representative explain the real meaning of Federal Life Insurance and its relations to your future and the future of your loved ones. (To be continued) for three years. His new charge is much larger. Little Roscoe Doss, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lacey Doss, formerly of this city, but now of Philadelphia, Pa., is in the Children's Hospital for an operation of adenoids and tonsils. Mrs. Mayme Anderson, one of the Parker-Gray School teachers, is back at her desk again after being out on account of illness. Mrs. Isabelle Majors, of N.

The old home's sad and lonely, boy, Since Jack has passed away, Our hearts now grieved, once full of joy Ere "Our Jack" passed away; Here in our friendly gathering, We'd mingle every night, A kindly word, a deed exchange Which keeps our "Home Fires" bright. A voice comes from the stairway, Footsteps paused at the door, It sounds like Jack—our comrade Who'll enter, alas, no more. A voice is heard from the portal Of Heaven's beautiful land. And footsteps that cannot falter, As they cross the sunlit strand. We'll sit around the "Home," boys, While Jack has gone away And think of many hours of joy We spent in the good old days; O Home of peace and plenty, Above, where life flows calm, serene, He'll welcome us—poor pilgrims, In the presence of our King.
