DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL CADET SHOT BY WHITE·RUFFIAN First in Local Circulation. VO. 3, No. 41 DUNBAR DROVE THROUGH RANKS IN AUTO Became Angry when Cadets Reminded Him to be Careful Armond Scott, Jr., a second year high school student at Dunbar and son of Atty, Armond W. Scott, Past Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, was shot in the heel last Friday while drilling his cadet company near the Bryant Street pumping house, by a white man named Frank D. Feeney of 45 V. St., N.E. Young Scott was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital by the cadets where his injury was pronounced a painful but not serious one. ARMOND SCOTT, Jr. Feeney, who made his escape after the shooting, surrendered himself Friday night to the police authorities at the eighth precinct. Through the efforts of Attorney Scott, father of the injured boy, the case was removed from the police court to the District Supreme Court. The case came before the District Attorney on Tuesday and immediately was given to the grand jury, which resulted in an indictment on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon against Feeney. He was arraigned for a hearing before Justice Hoehling Thursday morning and pleaded not guilty. The date of the trial has not been set yet, but it is expected to come up within a short time as both Attorney Scott and the school authorities are anxious that speedy justice be dealt out to Feeney. The shooting occurred last Friday afternoon about three o'clock. Because of the lack of drill grounds, all high school cadets, white and colored, must drill in the streets. Motörjsts, in nearly all cases, give the cadets the right of way. The Dunbar cadets were drilling on First street when the shooting occurred. Feeney was in his automobile accompanied by a young white girl. According to the story given out, Feeney came very near running over one of the cadets, said to have been Sgt. Martin. The cadets, noting Feeney's deliberate action, remonstrated with him for his carelessness. Feeney became angry. Then, it is alleged he stopped his car, pulled his gun and deliberately fired into the company. It is fortunate that the bullet did not do more damage than it did do. It struck young Scott just below the ankle bone, but did not do much damage to any of the bones. Young Scott was enjoying his first day as a corporal; having been promoted the day previous. The trouble was not in his squad but was back of him. His first knowledge of any trouble at all was when he felt the bullet entering his heel. Mrs. Scott, mother of the injured boy, was prostrated upon being informed of the shooting of her son. She was in such a highly nervous state that she was unable to visit the hospital until late Saturday evening. ```markdown ``` The Washington Tribune Senator Phipps Introduces New Bill for $500,000 for Howard Medical School, as House Excludes Item HIGH S Commissi Senator P for Howar Hayti Newspaper Men Treated Terribly Forced to Remain in Hot Tropical Sun without any Clothes on (Courrier Haition News Service) From Port-au-Prince, Haiti—It is impossible, as the state Department states, that the government of the United States has not been informed of the arrest of Jolibois Fils; Eric Guerin; Antoine Pierre-Paul; Oscar Savain; Georges Petit and Phileas Lemaire. General John Russell who has, in Haiti, the title of High Commissioner, is, in fact, the true ruler. The unconstitutional President, Louis Borno, can give no order or order no measure without the advice and the consent of the so-called representative of the President of the United States. The head of the American Occupation and the other officers of the Marine Corps make continually reports to the Navy Department as much about military as to the political and economic situation of Haiti. The documents about Haiti that have been published, in the past, by the Navy Department, prove clearly that the Life Insurance----Its Value to the Beneficiaries Life Insurance----Its Value to the Beneficiaries (Written for The Federal Life Insurance Company) By Simeon Cunningham So long as the head of the family lives all the members share with him to some extent in the improved status which Life Insurance gives to the family as a whole. If he dies prematurely, Life Insurance prevents the pathetic condition into which many families would otherwise fall. They are thus able to maintain their status quo, irrespective of events. Life Insurance rates a man at what he is worth, not by any arbitrary standard, but by what he is, physically and economically, and at his death, it passes this value up to his family. Life Insurance makes provision for that education and culture of children which the father would make if he lived. Society at large, seeing the necessity of education, creates and maintains at great expense an educational structure, in order that all children may receive some degree of training necessary for their efficiency as units in the social organism. The proper use of Life Insurance renders it unexcusable to withdraw a child from school to add to the income of the family by its labor. Consult The Federal Life Insurance Company about the future of your family. Ascertain if you have enough of the proper kind of insurance. The shooting has aroused indignation throughout the city. The demand is unanimous that Feeney be given the full extent of the law. Feeney has a bad police record according to the books of the local police department. The shooting occurred in the Bloomingdale section where some trouble was experienced by the objection of the whites to colored people moving into that section. The shooting of Scott has added fuel to the already smouldering fire of racial feeling of last November. WASHINGTON, D. C. MARCH 15, 1924 RACE SHOULD USE OWN CHARACTERS SAYS WALTON Suggests Evelyn Preer for the leading role in "All God's Chillun Got Wings" By Lester A. Walton (In the New York World) The recent stir caused in theatrical circles and the press of the city by the proposed presentation of the play "All God's Chillin Got Wings" recalls the following, which appeared among the theatrical notes in a New York newspaper two weeks ago: "When Helen MacKellar was offered the part of a white girl who marries a Negro in "All God's Chillin Got Wings,' she is said to have accepted the role for the forthcoming production at the Provincetown Theatre on condition that a white actor and burnt cork play opposite her. When she was told that it was intended to have a real Negro fill the bill she retired without more ado while there was yet time." The actions of Miss MacKellar are not surprising, nor should she be criticised for her refusal. Had she consented to play against a Negro it would have been in a heroic role both on and off the stage and in utter defiance of American customs and tradition. Why should a woman be required to display super-moral courage? If precedents involving racial propinquity before the footlights are to be set up why not permit a man to make the sacrifice before the bar of public opinion instead of a woman? A golden opportunity has been furnished in "White-Cargo." In this play a colored girl, referred to as "half caste," vamps numerous white men—but not in America. A white actress essays to play the part, using the necessary makeup to carry conviction. If white actresses are sufficiently realistic in the portrayal of Negro and Japanese characters with the aid of makeup, then what canon of the theatre precludes a Negro who does not have to resort to makeup from appearing as a white girl? There are several talented Negro actresses whose services could be utilized in the new show in the leading female part. Chief among these is Evelyn Preer, who was seen in New York some months ago. Her lightness of complexion moved John Corbin, dramatic critic of the New York Times, to write a two-column article on "Jewels in Ethiopia's Ear." He said, among other things: Miss Preer's Qualifications The complexion of the company run through lighter shades of cafe au lait; several of the abler players might pass for white. Nor are these Ethiopians powerless to change their skins. When a darker hue is requisite they employ walnut stain. * * * When Mr. O'Neill casts his so-called Ethiopians as the white folk they so nearly are, a strain develops which may be illogical, but is none the less a strain. * * * Miss Preer never suggests the Negress." If, as Mr. Corbin says, because of the whiteness of her skin, Miss Preer never suggests a Negro, it must follow that she suggests a Caucasian. What, then, is to prevent her from measuring up to the color standards set for the leading lady in Eugene O'Neill's latest dramatic effort? Casting an Evelyn Preer in the principal female part would serve as a balm for those who would suffer untold anguish over the thought of a real white woman playing opposite a simon pure Negro. Dining Car Men Waging Fight for Better Pay Will Carry Coast Line Fight before Railroad Labor Board Local No. 6 Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, composed of dining car cooks and waiters operating out of Washington on the Coast Line, Band O, Seaboard and Southern railroads, of which Philip G. Harris of 718 Harvard Street is President, has the sustained moral and material support of the entire organization according to its officers in its efforts to get back pay claimed by the Coast Line men. This pay is due, according to the men on account of unlawful reduction in wages in 1921. The men want to have their wages raised to the minimum level established by the Railroad Labor Board for dining car cooks and waiters, and to get the standard working month restored, as well as adoption of rules to eliminate the vicious custom of deductions from pay for alleged "breakage" and equipment shortages. The case is now before the Labor Board on ex-parte submission by R. B. Lemus, Grand President of the organization. This action is taken only after five months of futile attempt by the management and local Grienvance Committee, of the organization of which Roscoe C. Ewing, of Falls Church, is Chairman, and L. W. Wormley, John L. Ware, C. H. Welch, O. M. Reid, of Washington, and John Tyler, of Richmond, are members, to effect satisfactory settlement of the questions in dispute. President Lemus, who presented and won the case of local No. 2, against the New Haven railroad on a joint-submission to the Board in 1921, was recently furnished a copy of the response by the Coast Line management. It is chiefly devoted to preventing, by all means, an oral hearing before the Board, obviously fearful of having the working conditions of the Cook-Waiters exposed. It will not succeed, as the employees' right to hearing by the Board has been reasonably and definitely established, according to Mr. Lemus. The Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees is established in the East and made the agreements on wages and working rules now in effect on the Pennsylvania, New York Central, New England Lines and Seaboard Air Line Railroads. Among its achievements is that of having, after much opposition, the dining car cooks-waiters re-classified in the Pass Regulations of the Pennsylvania System, whereby dining car employees formerly classified with moppers, trackmen, etc. are now grouped with clerks. Formerly annual passes were only good between New York and Philadelphia. Now they are issued after three years' service on up to thirty years—to the employee and his wife—the wife's separately. Thirty-year passes are good over the entire System, and among the waiters possessing them are: Messrs. L. Davis, John Jones and Harry Glow The Grand Officers of the organization are: President, R. B. Lemus; Vice President, Washington District; R. C. Ewing, General Secretary and Treasurer, George S. Statesman—founder of local 6; Chairman Board of Trustees, James A. Ware, Chairman Board of Managers; Harvey Burke, George Rutherford is the Washington member of the Board of Managers and John Tyler, of the Board of Trustees. SENATOR TO PUSH BILL THROUGH FOR VOTE Measure Includes Items Approved by President and Budget Senator Lawrence C. Phipps of Colorado, champion of the Howard University Medical School Appropriation both in the Committee room and on the floor of the Senate, introduced in the Senate this week a bill authorizing the appropriation of $370,000 for the erection of a Medical School building at Howard and $130,000 for its equipment. Senator Phipps' secretary stated to a Tribune reporter that the Senator will press for early action on this bill with the hope that it will be passed at this session of Congress. The provisions of the Phipps bill is the same as those approved by the President, the Budget Committee and by the Senate. The House is the only body where serious opposition is expected. With the introduction of the Phipps bill, the situation at Howard brightens a little. The bill will afford a good opportunity for the Negro voters to test their friends in Congress; this being one piece of legislation that the race is solidly behind. Senator Lawrence C. Phipps is one of the staunchest supporters of legislation favorable to the race in either body of Congress. In the Appropriation Committee he single-handed fought for the inclusion not only of the maintenance items, but the $500,000 for the Medical School as well. Although the House has failed to restore the Medical School items, Congress is not without a bill providing for the immediate relief of the terribly cramped conditions now prevailing in the Medical School at Howard. The Phipps bill was referred to the Committee on public buildings and grounds of which Senator Bert M. Fernald of Maine is chairman. Other members of the committee are: Senators Warren, Wyoming; Lenroot, Wisc.; Keyes, N.H.; McKinley, Ill.; Harrell, Okla.; Fess, Ohio; Republics. Reed, Mo.; Ashurst, Ariz.; Tremmell, Fla.; Swanson, Va.; Dial, S.C.; Mayfield, Tex.; Democrats. Shipstead, farm-labor. DRIVE FOR 1000 MEMBERS HERE LAUNCHED The National Association of Wage Earners, Inc., with headquarters in this city, has started a drive 10,000 new members. These new members will be sought throughout the country. Washington's quota is 1000 and the local committee expects to get this number in one week. The drive will begin next week. The object of this organization is to band all women workers into an effective union. Commodious quarters have been purchased at 12th St., and R. I. Ave., N.W. The local organization under the direction of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and Mrs. Sadie T. Henson of 1837 Sixth Street, N.W., are planning to hold a series of meetings during the month of March at which time the full aims of the organization will be explained to the public. explain to the patient Office: 920 U St., N.W. WHITE r Virgin Is 500,000 Inudes Item Restore $207,000 by Vote of 206-106 Maintenance Items Larger Than Ever Granted The conferences of the House and Senate on the Department of Interior appropriation bill, made their report Thursday afternoon. Their report excluded the $500,000 item for the Medical School, but restored the $207,000 items for maintenance which were at first cut out in the House but later restored in the Senate. By a vote of 206 to 106 the House approved the conference report. As the bill now stands it carries $157,500 for the completion of the gymnasium, administrative hall and athletic field and $207,000 for the maintenance of the University; making a total appropriation for the next fiscal year of $364,500. Howard University appropriation is the largest ever granted the school and was won only after the hardest fight ever put up by the school. When the estimates went to the House, the subcommittee on apppritions cut out the $500,000 item and reported the bill to the House carrying $365,000. On points of order by Representative Byrnes of South Carolina, $207,000 of this amount was stricken out on the ground that there was no law for the appropriation. The balance $157,000 for the completion of the administration building, gymnasium and athletic field, remained because these were authorized the year previous. When the bill went to the Senate the sub-committee by one vote reinstated all the items approved by the Bureau of the Budget and the bill passed the Senate carrying the full amount of $865,000. The conferences of the House and Senate have been battling over the bill for over two weeks. Last week it was rumored that the Senate members had receded from the medical school items. The conferences, report which was made Thursday omitted the $500,000 for the medical school but allowed the $207,000 for maintenance. The bill will go back to the Senate for final action but it is sure to be passed by that body again. The Interior bill is the first of the big appropriation measures to pass; it is expected to be ready for President Coolidge's signature early next week. As the bill is drawn, all of the $365,000 will become available July 1st, this year. Amphion Glee Club Honored Prior to the recital in New York Monday night of the Associated Glee clubs of America, which was broadcast, the representatives of more than 100 clubs assembled in business meeting to draft a constitution and by-laws.

Price 5 Cents RUFFIAN Islanders ILLITERACY ONLY 2 PER CENT IN ISLANDS Commission Favors Exchange of Students and Change in Marriage Laws The special commission appointed by President Coolidge in January to study and report on conditions in the Virgin Islands, which were purchased by the United States from Denmark in 1917, made their final report to Secretary Davis of the Department on Tuesday. Just before the commissioners made their report to Mr. Davis, they were received by President Coolidge at the White House. The members of the commission closed all their business by Wednesday and began their homeward journey. The report of the commission is as follows: Report of Federal Commission to the Virgin Islands, consisting of George H. Woodson, Iowa; Cornelius R. Richardson, Indiana; Charles E. Mitchell, West Virginia; W. H. C. Brown, Virginia; Jefferson S. Coague, Delaware. Summary of Findings and Recommendations to Heri James J. Davis, 1. Location—40 miles east of Porto Rico; 1440 south of New York City; 1025 northeast of Panama Canal. Area—of 3 largest inhabited islands, 132 square miles. Population—26,000 (Colored 24,100; White 1,000); density, 200 per square mile. 2. Education compulsory between 7 and 13. Attendance average, 3,000 or over 98 per cent of possible attendance. Illiteracy less than 2 per cent. Language is English. 3. Water supply depends on rain fall caught in cisterns. 4. General health compares favorably with Southern states rural districts. No epidemics. Birth rate 32 per thousand; death rate $25\frac{1}{2}$ per thousand. 5. Climatic conditions, with a minimum of 65 degrees and maximum of 92 degrees, insures low cost of living in way of clothing, housing, and food fat. Trade winds prevail. 6. Economic and Industrial conditions are far from being satisfactory, as shown by the variation in the imports and exports between the islands and the United States. Fiscal year 1920-21—exports were $3,571,737; imports $4,162,949; total $7,734,736; fiscal year 1921-22—exports $754,729; imports $1,836,567, total $2,581,296. This marked los soft trade, is largely due to: (a) Our general policy of treating the islands only as an outpost of defense for Panama Canal; (b) Federal prohibition which crippled the bay rum industry of the islands; (c) Serious droughts which almost eliminated crops for last 3 years; (d) St. Thomas, although one of the finest ports in the West Indies or the world, is no longer used as a port of call by the steamship lines using the Panama Canal and sailing to and from Atlantic ports of South America. This combination of conditions creates an appalling large per cent of unemployment and already evidences of under nourishment are apparent. 7. Leading industries: (a) sugar cane 12,000 acres; (b) cotton 2,000 acres; (c) grasses and fodder 30,000 acres (cattle raising); (d) fishing; (e) coaling steamships—150 men, 300 women; (f) watering ships (when there is any water available). 8. Wages: (a) agricultural, 20 to 40 cents per day; (b) fishing, very nominal; (c) coaling vessels, 2 cents per basket, average 60 cents per day, and only 2 days per week. 9.

PAGE TWO Sunday evening at eight o'clock, the Amphion Glee Club, will render a most extraordinary musical program under the direction of Mr. J. Henry Lewis. The pastor, Rev. R. W. Brooks, will use as a subject, "The Fourth Wise Man." Mrs. Mary Mann, who has been confined in Carseon's sanitarium for the past four weeks left for her home in Pottstown, Pa., last week. Mrs. Edna Patience of Pitston, Pa., accompanied by her little son Chester, Jr., is spending a while in the city, visiting her mother, Mrs. Alice Lucas of 1909 13th Street, N.W. Miss Jeanette Carter has been confined to her bed for the past week with an attack of grippe. The date of Mrs. Anna Chandler Brooks' recital has been changed from April 4, to Tuesday April 8. Mrs. Brooks is the wife of the pastor of Lonecoln Temple, and is being presented by the choir of that church with Mr. Wesley Howard, Violinist, as assisting artist. Miss Sadie Sumner accompanied by her sister Mrs. Minnie Patterson of New York City returned to the city last week from Durham, N.C., where they have been the guests of Professor and Mrs. W. G. Pearson. Mrs. Viola Menard Reed was a charming hostess last evening to her Five Hundred Club. A delightful repast was served and many beautiful as well as useful prizes given to the lucky players. Sunday, morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Congregational Temple, will speak from the subject, "A Challenge to the Christian Church." There will be special music by the choir. Mr. Billy Pierce formerly of this city, but now of New York City, with the Chicago Defender, spent a few days in the city last week on business and visiting friends. Rev. J. Alfred Jackson of 1908 4th Street, N.W., who has been quite ill for the past three weeks is slowly improving. Mrs. Mabel Jackson, formerly instructor in sewing at Howard University, has been appointed to fill the vacancy made at O Street Vocational School by the death of Mrs. Blyden Reed. The promoters of the "Love Game" the beautiful musical play produced by a company of high class young men and women of Baltimore, take this means of thanking the public for their support and the appreciation manifested for their efforts to give Washington theatre goers a clean, classy cultured production.The only "fly in the ointment" was the exceeding discourteous treatment accorded by a class of young men whose rearing and educational advantages should have taught them courtesy due the "stranger within our gates." This company claimed no professional ability; they labored under a handicap at the matinee performance due to the late arrival of their costumes and their inability to have a rehearsal. These things happen daily to professional performers and should not have been used as a "butt of ridicule." A little sympathy and the kindly use of applause to smooth the rough places would have gone far to relieve an embarrassing situation to both the promoters and the performers. The appreciative public, and they were far in the majority, we thank, for the unappreciative, discourteous few we have only a feeling of contempt mingled with pity. Mr. George S. Jopes and wife (a bride of 4 weeks) of Norristown, Pa., visited his mother, Mrs. Mary A. Green of 337 Maryland Ave., S.W. The following named persons called to extend their congratulations: Mrs. Fannie W. Taylor of 309 T St., N.W., his god-mother; Mrs. Bessie Pett- ross, Mrs. Laura M.

Jackson, M.D. MAKING GOOD Some weeks ago during the sessions of the American Sociological Society meeting in Washington, Dr. Howard W. Odum, of the University of North Carolina stated that the Negro migrant is making good in the North. I remember the contact I had with Dr. Odum some years ago when he was connected with the Whittier Center of Philadelphia, and in his studies of the Negro he always seemed fair and just. It is therefore a pleasure to quote this Southern gentleman and scholar. At this point I wish to make a brief analysis of conditions which are helping the Negro to make good in the North. In the first place, he feels the thrill of a soul set free as he steps "out of the house of bondage" into a rather genuine citizenship which if even a bit limited is withal to him a glorious freedom such as he has never known before. For his labor he finds a welcome and a wage which seems almost princely. On the other hand he finds certain rules and restrictions necessitated by the tight economic code of the North which he soon learns to regard as blessings rather than hindrances. The labor market of the North, efficient to the highest degree insists upon a full value for the wage paid and takes very definite steps to prevent the high cost of frequent turn over. The laborer finding the cost of living higher than in the South recognizes that he must work six days in a week, rather than the two or three which before had satisfied his wants. These two factors coupled together are bringing out the best of both and a kindlier understanding between them with the result that each is winning. In order to prevent the costly turn over of labor, large business has learned that the health and happiness of the toiler are the two most important factors to reckon with. To that end each laborer undergoes a careful physical examination before he is employed and every effort is made to keep his health standard at par by his employers. Physicians, social workers and recreation directors are constantly on the job in all the larger work shops, and each has his specific duties mapped out. Experience has taught that health, happiness and efficiency are very closely related, and we can all learn much from big business as to how every man can live most and best. Of course this was all a new thing to the Negro migrant when he found himself recognized as a human being in whom his emphoyer took a human interest. His response has been most wholesome and satisfying to all concerned, and there is every reason to hope and believe he has made for himself a lasting place in the labor market of the North. He is learning the lessons of thrift, health, and co-operation, and applying them far more wisely than many of our race from whom we would naturally expect more. Such is the basis of the "making good" of the migrant and the sooner our whole race can catch this laudable spirit and apply it in the matter of race making, "good" shall be added unto them. THE AMPHION GLEE CLUB IS HONORED An attractive feature of the convention was a recital in which a chorus of 600 trained men directed by 10 conductors will sing Coleridge-Taylor's Viking Song among other standard selections. Washington, D.C., was represented by Mr. J. Henry Lewis, director of the well-known Amphion glee club, and he was invited to give a talk based upon his long experience. His remarks were instructive and inspiring, and he was tendered a vote of thanks. The Amphions were elected among other clubs as charter members of the Association, and they are the only members of our group to receive such a signal honor. When our business men learn to compete with other people on equal terms, they will be more successful. Instead of holding prices higher than a competitor across the street, meet his price or do better. Business cannot be run on sentiment, and the sooner we know this, the better it will be for all concerned. Your being a good cook will not attract the average customer to pay the difference between your prices and your competitor's.

Aside of this, in his capacity of High Commissioner with the rank of Ambassador, which functions make him ridiculous, because no one can understand that the American People can maintain an Ambassador in Haiti when France keeps in Port au Prince, a minister, Great Britain and Cuba a Charge d'Affaires and the other Countries Consuls. In his capacity of High Commissioner, we said, General John H. Russell is constantly reporting to the State Department, either by wireless or by mail. So, it is impossible that the State Department does not know the illegal and scandalous arrest of these above-mentioned journalists, which arrest arese the indignation of the Haitian people as well as the foreign Colony in Haiti. The State Department cannot be unaware of the arrest of these gentlemen, because General John H. Russell and the Constabulatory (Gendarmerie) under the command of Colonel MacDougal, are prosecuting, before the Haitian Court, for alleged offences, Mr. Jolibois and his associates. In order to stop them from revealing some scandal as grave as the oil sealand that the United States Senate is investigating, Mr. Louis Borno, General John H. Russell and Colonel MacDougal had them arrested and placed in jail. Since about four months, these six journalists are kept in prison, illegally and without justification, their case aggrivated by daily humiliation and barbarous treatment that are inflicted on them by the American Lieutenant Johnson, the jailer of the Penitentiary. Such is the case that, February 16, Lieutenant Johnson, accompanied by Gendarmes, invaded the cells of these prisoners, put them in the yard, naked, under the burning tropical sun. Mr. George Petit, one of the prisoners, was unmercifully beaten by Lieutenant Johnson. The next day, the 17th, the same Lieutenant committed on these Haitians a barbarous and odious brutality, with the plain purpose to provoke their death by some disease. They were, again, taken out from their cells and, all the day long forced to remain, their heads uncovered, under the burning sun. In order that they might not find a shelter against the heat, Lieutant Johnson locked the doors of the cells and the gate of the yard. In order to escape sunstroke, these gentlemen were obliged to keep themselves along the wall of their cells, so that the edge of the walls could protect them somewhat against the burning rays of the sun. But, when twelve o'clock struck, their position was intolerable; the sun had reached their shelter. Their health is greatly injured; two of them, Georges Petit and Elie Guerin, at the time of their arrest, were recovering, slowly, from a dangerous illness. All of them are now ill, in the penitentiary. In order that the American Occupation might not be accused of misconduct, General Russell, very skilfully, acts in such a manner that his orders, indirectly given, are carried out by the American officers of the Haitian Constabulary which, in fact is under his control.

Attucks Day Observed by Massachusetts Boston, Mass., March 8—After issuing a "Call to the Race" to observe March 5th at Citizenship Foundation Day, for Crispus Attucks as the first martyr for American independence These last few days, putting himself above the so-called Council of State which has been forced on the Haitian People and breaking the Haitian budget law without taking the trouble to say if it is the will of the State Department, General Russell, arbitrarily, has just decided that 'if the monthly receipts are below the allowance provided in the Haitian budget, the monthly salaries of the Haitian officials, salaries fixed by a Law, will be reduced proportionally to the receipts collected each month by the public treasury and that the monthly surplus of receipts must not be used to make up the deficit of a previous or following month. It is the hypocritical way to drive the country towards the new taxes that General Russell is trying to force upon the People, despite the loud protests that the Haitians have made for over a year. As to the forces of the American Occupation, the State Department has, intentionally, misinformed Senator King. In Port-au-Prince, the Marines are garrisoned at the National Palace barracks, thus the deepest humiliation to Haitian pride. Some of them are stationed at the American Occupation Headquarter. In cape Haiti, there are Marines who are cantoned in the north of Haiti, some are American camps, the largest is the Camp of Chabert. In the District of la "Croix des Bouquets" is the marine Camp at the place called Montet. In the District of Mirebalais, there are Marines, at St. Michel, also. In the District of Hinche, there are other small posts of Marines. The American Occupation has established, near Port-au-Prince, not far from the Haitian-American sugar Company, an airplane camp. At Bizoton, there is a station of American hydroplanes. More than that, the American Occupation is, little by little, making military works which mean they have no idea of withdrawing the Marines from Haiti. In another point of view, as all Occupations, whether American or not, this American Occupation is morally and nationally a curse for Haiti. The spreading of prostitution and venereal diseases has become for our Country a very grave menace for the future. The Marine with his pay in American gold, has an easy life and, having nothing to do, spending his time in drinking and spoiling girls. Nobody can understand how an American lieutenant, whether of the American Occupation or of the constabulary, can have several cars, motorcycles, etc., and rent houses from fifty to a hundred dollars a month. A secret and impartial inquiry will disclose certainly where the money they are spending with so much lavishness come from. Now that the undertakers have decided to take the gloom out of funerals by disguising their hearses they should take steps to dispel the gloom that follows the presentation of their exorbitant bills. Numbered among our group of producers are 504 flour and grain mill owners. $ 696.01 2,412.57 1,800.00 109,133.50 18,672.24 985.60 Attucks Day Observed by Massachusetts Boston, Mass., March 8—After issuing a "Call to the Race" to observe March 5th at Citizenship Foundation Day, for Crispus Attucks as the first martyr for American independence and liberty, the National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League, certainly practiced its own preaching on Wednesday in Boston. For on that day, the great Merchants National Bank of State Street, opposite the wheel in the Cobblestones marking the spot where Attucks fell, hung out its big U. S. flag. On the electric pole there the Boston Branch hung a laurel wreath, Jas. G. Wolff making a statement to the crowd held back by the mounted police. Wm. H. O'Brien, Champion of the Irish cause at the League's suggestion, placed a large galox wreath on Attucks' grave near the Common. At. 10 a.m. Boston's Public Celebrations Director flanked the Attucks Monument with the state and national colors. Noontime found two wreaths on the statue, one by the state and one by the city, the former one placed by Maj. Sampson of the Governor's Staff and the latter by Mayor Curley himself. The flags were flown from all city buildings. Then at 12:30, national headquarters held out-door exercises in front of the statue, the key-note of which as sounded by Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter, was that the race which shed its blood first for the founding of the Republic and liberty certainly has original ground title to every public right and privilege. The speakers were Mayor James M. Curley, Maj. E. J. Sampson of the Staff of Governor Cox, Stewart E. Hoyt, the Colored Deputy, Collector and prominent Elk and Mason, Rev. J. W. Hill, national league chaplain, Ex-Rep. Wm. H. O'Brien of the State House, Rev. D. S. Klugh, Chas. L. Raysor, Esq., Mrs. Mary James and Rev. J. W. Powell of the Sons of Veterans. The crowd stood in the rain through nearly two hours of eulogy of Attucks and his Irish Comrades. Included in the 7,511 colored restaurant, cafe, and lunch room keepers are 3,455 women.

LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. DEPT. B-6 ```markdown ``` PAGE THREE The Tribune Sport Review C. I. A. A. HOLDS MOST INTERESTING MEETING IN YEARS PAGE FOUR C. I. A. Every Member Sends Delegate By Charles H. Williams Hampton, Va., Mar. 10—The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, composed of Howard, Lincoln, Shaw, Union, Hampton, Petersburg, Virginia Seminary, and St. Paul, held its thirteenth annual meeting at Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. Every school in the association was represented. The following delegates were present: L. L. Watson, Howard University; Dr. W. G. Alexander, Lincoln University; Dr. J. O. Plummer and H. H. Gill, Shaw University; H. D. Marting, A. A. Branch, and S. A. Barksdale, Virginia Union University; Gideon E. Smith and Charles H. Williams, Hampton Institute; W. A. Rogers, T. L. Puryear, and H. C. Graves, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; T. M. Crowder, J. H. Lawrence, and D. A. Jackson, Virginia Seminary and College; J. L. Whitehead and Winston Douglas, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School. The meeting was the most important and far-reaching yet held by the association. There was a fine spirit of harmony and a strong desire on the part of the institutions to place athletics on an educational basis. It was the final verdict of the members that only through such an organization as the C. I. A. A. can athletics be conducted and controlled so that they will be an educational, moral, and social asset to the thousands of young men and women now participating in the various forms of athletic activity. The spirit of fairness and good will characterized the delegates. A number of institutions that have been having trouble with the schedules were able to get together. Howar dProtests Rules L. L. Watson, director of physical education at Howard University, presented Howard's objections to the present eligibility rules. The Howard authorities, according to Mr. Watson, believe that they should not be subject to the eligibility rules now enforced by the association. They believe that students who are not of college grade but who have played on any other association teams, if they go to Howard should be eligible to four years of competition on Howard's teams. They believe that those years in which such students have played against Howard should not be counted. For example they contend that a non-collegiate student who had played three years on Hampton's team, should be allowed four more years at Howard. This seemed to the other members of the association to be giving too large a place to athletic competition in the life of the student and would encourage some of the very evils that the schools are trying to eliminate. After prolonged discussion, this question was submitted to a committee to investigate and report its recommendations. Tennis Tournament Sanctioned Because of the demand for greater recognition of tennis, the association voted to conduct an annual tennis tournament, the first tournament to be held this spring. The date of the annual meeting was changed from March to the second week in December. This is considered a better time to discuss the problems arising during the football season. A Committee on Football Schedules was appointed. It will present tentatice schedules for all the teams at the December meeting. A number of speakers appeared before the body and presented live topics dealing with athletic problems. These will be printed in full in the "C. L. A. A. Bulletin." Dunbar Director Speaks E. B. Henderson, physical director, Dunbar High School, Washington, D.C., in speaking on the subject "How Can Schools Co-operate with Officials to Develop Efficiency?" submitted the following commendation and suggestions: "Encourage your athletes to know the game, and who have the temperamental, judicial, and executive qualities necessary to go in for officiating. Develop them in your intra-mural sports. Plan for a consideration of this topic in your summer school courses. "In your major games insist upon men of experience, character, and ability whether occasionally they do or do not make mistakes. "Learn to place the proper valuation upon comments or criticisms of --- Potomacs Sign Coach and Trainer What Ben Taylor considers his "best deal of the winter" is the announcement that John "Steelarm" Taylor, brother of the Potomac's manager and one of the greatest pitchers that ever toed a slab, had been secured to train and coach the pitchers and serve as assistant manager. This is the first time in the history of Negro baseball that an individual has been signed in this capacity. The newly acquired coach came into the public's eye back in 1900 while at Biddle University, Charlotte, N.C. It was there that he was dubbed "Steelarm" by white sport writers of North Carolina, because of his terrific speed. Few men have ever thrown a ball harder than "Steelarm." After leaving Biddle, Taylor was the pitching ace of the Birmingham Giants until 1900. He then returned to Biddle for two seasons as coach. Then Frank Leland signed him for two years with the Chicago Giants, one of the greatest colored clubs in history. In 1912 and 1913, "Steelarm" went with his brothed C. I. Taylor, the manager of the West Baden Sprudels. He also followed "C. I." to Indianapolis and was a prominent factor in the establishment of the A. B. C. Club; 1917 was "Steelarm's" last year in the game. For the past seven years he has been a successful business man in Peoria, Ill. It was only after much persuasion that Ben Taylor succeeded in getting him to give up his business and come east to help him put the Potomacs over. His years of experience will be invaluable to the youngsters that will try for the local's staff. Star Second-Socker Signed Among the latest signed contracts to reach the local office is that of Theodore "Bubbles" Anderson, second baseman, last year with the Kansas City, Monarch, Western League champions. Anderson is 21 years of age, 5 feet $8\frac{1}{2}$ inches in height and weighs 168 pounds. He bats and throws from the right side. He first attracted attention four years ago with the All-Nations team of Kansas city. After two years with the All-Nations he went to the Kansas City Monarchs. Last year he was rated as the best fielding Keystone sacker in the west, has hit over 300 for the past two seasons and is extremely fast on bases. "Y" NOSES OUT BALTIMORE The local "Y" Big Five nearly tossed away a game to the Baltimore "Y" at the Colonnade last Friday when a 12-point lead of the first-half was overcome and an extra-period was necessary to win. The locals sent the reserves to the front in the second half with the score, 24-12. The Baltimore tossers soon tied the score and extended the regulars for the remainder of the period. At game time the score was 33-all. The final score was 42-41 in favor of the locals. Substitutes: Wash "Y" Stewart, Brickhouse, Childs, and Williams. Referee "Blip" Hundley. Scorer: Z. Sinclair. player, interested alumni, fan, faculty member or president. The official is often the bridge over a poorly placed bet or a bad play or loss of a game. "Make fees commensurate with the importance of the contest, caliber of the official, and worth of his time and preparation. "Avoid cheap diatribe abuse of an official. He may have erred, the best do. "Cussing" him out does little good save giving vent to a fitful emotion. Rather, in another season, if you are confident of his unfitness, do not engage him. Simply be sure that you are improving in your next selection. "Do not expect a major official to do efficient service if you have other men working in the game who are dodging responsibility, playing for future contracts, or whose ability is known to be inferior but which might be borne with by reason of a superior man in a chief capacity." One of the most important subjects discussed was that presented by Dr. W. G. Alexander—"The Influence of Fraternities on Athletics." This paper will appear in the press at a later date. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. MARCH 15. 1924 LINCOLN THEATRE Fans Mourn "Pop" Watkins' Death Baseball fans over the entire country mourn the passing of "Pop" Watkins who died at Durham, N.C., on February 22nd. "Pop," as he was known to players and fans, was born at Augusta, Ga., sixty-seven years ago. He came into baseball prominence when a member of the Cuban Giants. For the past decade he has owned, managed and made famous the Havana Red Sox, a traveling team, with home grounds at Watertown, N.Y. .. It is reported that Watkins discovered a number of major league players. The best known of whom are John McGraw, New York Giants manager, Al Schach, former National pitcher, Hugh Jennings and John Hummell. In the old days when the best colored and white clubs met, it is said that "Pop" was once beamed by a ball thrown by Matthewson. It is also claimed that Hans Wagner once crashed into "Pop" when the latter was sliding into second and as a result, "Pop" received three broken ribs. Watkins was a famous catcher in his days. Watkins has developed some of the leading Race players of today. Each year it was his plan to securc the college ranks. Scores of students received their tuition by playing summer baseball with the Havana Red Sox. Diamond Squad Out at Morehouse By L. Slater Haynes Atlanta, Ga., March 8—Coach Harvey of Morehouse College, on March 3, called his cohorts of the stick and pill and gave them the first instructions of the baseball season. More than forty men were counted on the field, but only eight of them can boast of wearing the Maroon "M" Of the new material, little can be said on account of the earliness of the season, although a few are preceded by 'prep' fame. Coach Harvey put the men through a light workout, beipg careful not to overdo, for fear of pre-season injuries. The Coach also counselled the men about their school work, as the strick rules of Moroehouse College on eligibility are liable to put a crink in many a would-be star's credit. Captain Marlin is showing his old speed on the mound. All of the other old men are showing up in good form. The manager has announced a schedule that is one of the hardest that Morehouse has ever attempted to play. The public is well pleased over the resumption of athletic relations with Atlanta University. This school has always played Morehouse College a bang up baseball game. The first game of the season is with the strong Morris Brown nine on March 15. The game will undoubtedly assume championship importance. SPORTS CHATTER By H.

It was hoped that the newly established Board of Athletic Control had about solved this issue. The Board met on March 1, but the coach for next season has not been named. In fact, it is now wondered if the Board has the authority to name the football mentor. The Howard football situation has been a mighty tangled affair the past year or two. Dr. W. E. Morrison coached the eleven for three years, resigning at the end of the 1922 season to practice dentistry. Major Dean, Director of Physical Education at the University for a number of years, left a few weeks ahead of Morrison to enter private life. Louis L. Watson succeeded Dean on January 1, 1923. Much debating was in order for a period of two or three months after Watson arrived, as to who would coach the football team. Morrison and Watson were the much discussed candidates. In early March Watson was named to coach the eleven. It was whispered at that time that the authorities refused to meet Morrison's terms. Watson's team had an unusually successful season, winning six games, tying one and losing none. Many reports as to fraternal cliques cropped up during the season but the team continued its winning ways. The result of the 1923 Howard-Lincoln game is football history. But the aftermath was distasteful. There were open charges that the captain refused to carry out the coach's orders to "open up" in the last half when the score was tied. Weeks after Thanksgiving the situation failed to get any better and Dr. Durkee summoned six graduates to dig into the football question and straighten out the evils. This Special Committee met on January 18th. It would not go on record charging disloyalty to any individual but expressed amazement that Howard did not win the Thanksgiving Day game. The Committee suggested that the office of the Director of Physical Education and Coach be separate and recommended the establishment of a Board of Athletic Control of nine members to govern athletics at the University. The Trustees approved of the Board but added two members. Regardless of these developments the situation remains as it was this time last year. Watson, Morrison and possibly Charles West, the Washington and Jefferson athlete are in the running for the job. Whether Watson can serve in the dual role as coach and director has not been made clear. It is not believed that any direct authoritative overtures have been made to West. Therefore it develops into a struggle between the Morrison and Watson factions. Strange, as it may seem, however, neither of these men are taking any direct interest in the matter. Either would probably accept the position if the terms were agreeable. Then again, both may refuse it. The writer has watched the situation through these stages. Hearing and seeing much but heeding and writing little. Sometime ago, we wrote that Howard's 1923-record warranted renaming Watson without hesitancy. This is still our sentiment. Might add, however, that it means nothing to us who gets the job. We are hired to keep our readers posted on happenings in Sports and no matter who coaches at Howard, we expect to carry out our contract. But this annual coaching ballyhoo is unnecessary. Somebody should assume the responsibility and name the grid coach. The coach should not be offered a one-year contract but should be given a chance to make good. Successful coaching systems are not built up in a year or two. If necessary, another meeting of the Board should be called at ONGE and the 1924 Howard coach named. The coach, whether, on the scene for his first time or not, deserves to know, NOW, his destination for next fall. MANY DIAMOND VETERANS AT TUSKEGEE Baseball practice got under way in regular fashion at Tuskegee Institute, Saturday afternoon, March 1st when thirty-two candidates met Coach Abbott on Washington Field. Among the candidates for this year's varsity are the following veterans; Captain James E. Boss, who is the peer of all first sackers in the Conference; Alternate Captain Clarence Jackson, the hard hitting Tiger receiver; Eddie Wooldridge, whose work at short stop last season was phenomenal; Gilbo, Reilly and Bonner, who covered the outfield last season and "Lefty" Smith Penny and Hendricks the varsity moundsmen of last season.

Coach Abbot is holding his boys in check so as to prevent, as far as possible, the ever-menacing sore arms, charley-horses, sprained ankles and other casualties in mid-season. The schedule this year is one of the hardest ever faced by a Tiger baseball team. Beginning March 21st, twenty-two games will be played and only hard work will enable the team to wade through it with any degree of success. Realizing this the boys are working with a zest that should bring the desired results. Chas. E. Lane, Jr., Mgr. PRODUCED SUNDAYS & HOLIDAYS 3 P.M.

Bernard Young, Jr. Hampton, Va., March—So far as the "Seasiders" are concerned, the inter-collegiate baseball season is officially on. It started at 5 o'clock on March 3, when Coaches Charles H. Williams and Gideon E. Smith sent out their call for candidates which was answered by 65 aspirants for varsity berths on the baseball nine. The large number of candidates indicates some lively competition and bright prospects for a great team this year. Among the veterans are Captain Joseph Jackson, catcher; George Alexander, third baseman for two years and last year's captain; David Burrell, hard-hitting flychaser; Edward Hargrove, fielder and pitcher; Bertrand Jacobs, hard-hitting shortstop; Arthur Ruffin, dependable slab artist; David Gunn, fast first baseman; and several others who showed to advantage last season. In addition to these men, several of the recruits are experienced players who promise to furnish spirited competition. Of those who have signed up, there are Sout INSURES AGAINST SICKNESS, ACCIDENT AND DEATH Condensed Annual Statement, December 31, 1923 21 'outer-garden" men, 29 infielders, 6 catchers, and 6 pitchers. An inter-class league at Hampton Institute will also be formed this year. Track Men Prepare Fifty enthusiastic candidates, several of them veterans from last year's squad, answered the call of the coaches for track work. Moreover, many of the baseball candidates signified their intention of participating in track events. Hampton is already scheduled to take part in two meets—one the annual Howard University meet and the other the annual Hompton Institute meet on May 17th. The coaches have expressed confidence that the annual Hampton track and field meet, which will be held this year on May 17, will prove the most successful track meet ever held by Negro schools. It is probable that there will be a third meet which will be held among Virginia schools. WHITE SOX IN LINE Many new faces will be seen in the Maryland White Sox line-up this summer.

TIMELY SUGGESTION FROM A FAN Washington, D.C., February 26, 1924 Sports Editor, Washington Tribune, Dear Sir:— Being interested in the success of the Washington Potomac Baseball Club, I would like to make a suggestion as to the starting time of the games to be played this summer. I think that 3:30 o'clock will be entirely too early. It must be remembered that coloured people are not able to get off from work as early as 3:30. There are some of our people who get off at 4 o'clock but by the time that they get to the park it is about 4:30. Also there are many of Ben Taylor's fans that work in the Government Departments and they are not out until 4:30. I think that 4:30 would be a good time to start play. Fans would not Aid S MARCH 15, 1924 MAN, CAN I CHANGE STOCKINGS HERE? HOSIERY DEPT.

Kindly bring this matter before Mr. Taylor. Remember the Government Departments and the laboring class of our people when setting the time to start play. Thanking you in advance, I remain. "Spokesman for a Number of Fans" LANGSTON TO LEAD HAMPTON TRACK TEAM Junius Langston, speedy quarter-miler will lead the Hampton Institute track team this year. He has the distinction of being the captain of two varsity teams in one year—the basketball and track teams. HARGROVE IS AN ALL-ROUND BIRD It's a rare thing to hear of an athlete winning four letters in major sports during a season. But Edward Hargrove, all-round Hampton athlete, is evidently pointing for this goal. Hargrove was perhaps the best back on the Hampton eleven last fall. He was the regular center on the basketball team and one of the highest scorers in inter-collegiate ranks. Last spring he won the intercollegiate javelin throw and promises to repeat this spring. He has already reported for baseball and is said to be a good pitcher and fielder. We don't know of any collegeians that can outdo this Hamptonian. CUPS AWARDED TO DEPARTMENTAL WINNERS The District Departmental League is expected to realize its greatest year in 1924. The League officials met in February and cleared up much business on hand and discussed plans for the coming season. The entire staff of officers has not been elected. After a heated argument, cups were given to the Treasury and Veterans' Bureau teams for winning the second and first halves, respectively, of the league race. ST. PAUL'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 4—N. C.

GALE OF APPLAUSE GREETS NEGRO GIRL Mates Pay Hearty Tribute to High School Lass Who Won Double Honor (Crusader Service) New York, March 8—Swaying under the waves of applause of her schoolmates, Thelma E. Berlack of 202 West 143rd Street, the young colored girl who won double honors in last week's "Biggest News of the Week" competition conducted by The World, walked up the aisle of the auditorium at Theodore Roosevelt High School yesterday to receive the monthly bonus prize of fifty dollars. As the check was placed in Miss Berlack's hand the applause became a storm of sound that filled the room, testifying to her popularity. She has been an honor student in her class three and a half years. The award, together with the weekly prize of $20, came as she was about to drop out of school on the eve of graduation because of lack of funds. Miss Berlack's article was chosen from a field of more than 1,800 entries. Inc. PAGE FIVE Published Weekly at Washington, D.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5c per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request THE COMMISSION REPORT The commission, composed of the five colored men sent to the Virgin Islands to investigate economic conditions there, made its report to Secretary Davis Tuesday, with recommendations. The report is illuminating and the recommendations are comprehensive. The statements in the report as to imports and exports brings to light the glaring fact that starvation is facing the inhabitants of these islands, recently purchased by the United States government from Denmark. During the fiscal year ending in 1921, the imports exceeded the exports by $591,162. That is, the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands sent out of the islands over a half million dollars more than they received from the goods they exported. In 1922 the situation became worse. The imports advanced nearly 200 per cent. $1,092,838 were spent over and above the exports. The total import and export business of the islands fell from seven million, to two million dollars in a year. When we consider the matter of wages—from twenty to forty cents per day, and the magnificent sum of sixty cents per day for coaling ships and that for only two days a week, we should have a drive on in this country to help the starving Americans of the Virgin Islands. There was a population of 26,000 people in 1922. They spent for imports $42.00 per person while their wages for the year was only $62.40 for those who coaled ships and about $100 per year for the average laborer. The small amount of illiteracy—about two per cent—is less than that of the District of Columbia, and this is highly commendable. The commission's recommendation on the exchanging of teachers and students that "true American ideas and ideals be assimilated and encouraged on the Islands," should have read, "to inspire the Negroes of America to lower their illiteracy." We do not want the jim crow "ideas" of America carried there. Those people know nothing of such abominable "ideas" and should not be afflicted with them. The recommendation for agricultural improvement and the restoration of the Port of St. Thomas, should be executed forthwith. As a whole the commission did well their work and gave a comprehensive report and recommendations. Commission's Report Asks Relief for Virgin Islanders (Continued from page 1) one-room shacks with an occasional lean-to kitchen. 10. Food of workers—large "fungee" (a mess of cornmeal and fish). 11. Cost of living as per above outlined conditions is naturally very low but unless something is done to improve the opportunity for work these people must migrate to avoid sinking to an economic level abhorent to our American ideals. 12. Native population is clean, bright, genial, peaceful, intelligent; 98 per cent read and write; honest and very polite. Very little crime, and that largely in the seaport towns. Recommendations: 1. Installation of a water supply and irrigation system to meet agricultural and domestic needs. Rainfall generally ample if conserved. This will insure more regular employment as well as more and better home-grown supplies. 2. Restoration of St. Thomas as a port of call with—(a) the same right of foreign vessels to seal their wine, etc., lockers as when passing through the Panama Canal; (b) develop water supply to meet needs of all ships. 3. Institute a study of preparation of bay rum that will restore its market standing without violating our prohibition laws. The Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce could materially help in this study, as well as that of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture. 4. While the native population through their long custom of "consentual marriages" are as moral as any in the West Indies, yet it is very advisable that all marriages should conform to our standards of marital relations. It is not fair to these people to classify their children from "consentual marriages" as illigitimate in the broad sense that we often use the term. The fact that over two-thirds of the children are the product of these "consentual marriages" shows the necessity for some education in the moral code of our American standards. 5. As an aid to the development of the preceding ideal of American standards, we strongly urge that a system be arranged between the public schools of the Virgin Islands and the leading Colored colleges in the United States for an exchange of teachers and scholarships for island students of from one to one hundred each year in order that the educational systematizing be stimulated and true American ideas and ideals be assimilated and encouraged on the islands as well as on the mainland of the United States.

The citizen status of the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands should be cleared up, as much confusion now prevails over the different interpretations of the following supposed guarantee quoted from the Purchase Treaty with Denmark, proclaimed January 25, 1917—Sec. 6: "Those who remain in the Islands may preserve their citizenship in Denmark by making before a court of record, within one year from the date of the exchange of ratifications of this convention, a declaration of their decision to preserve such citizenship; in default of which declaration they shall be held to have renounced it, and to have accepted citizenship in the United States." 7. We suggest that the Department of Commerce make a special study of the manufacturing and commercial possibilities, and the Department of Agriculture of agricultural possibilities, so that these people can feel that their homeland under our government is receiving a living consideration other than that of a mere outpost of defense. 8. We respectfully suggest that a longer term for each governor appointed will be more beneficial than the shorter and more uncertain tenures in office. Note—Seven governors in about 3 years. Proof of value of longer service is shown that under the governorship of present incumbent who although he has held office only four months, yet has brought about several changes of material benefit to the better well-being of the people on these islands. 9. Seasonal labor competition from adjacent alien islands deserves immediate consideration, as it generally interferes with the limited opportunities available to the natives, and largely explains the extremely low standard of wages. And lastly we respectfully suggest that the resolution passed by the Joint Session of the Colonial Council of the Virgin Islands and approved by Governor Phillip Williams on the 15th day of February, 1924, deserves the serious investigation and consideration of the Congress of the United States and the departments of the government which more or less handle such problems. There is a prosperous and growing settlement of colored farmers located in Colorado near Dearfield, Weld County, one of the leading agricultural counties in the United States. ADVERTISE The Washington Tribune And Get RESULTS THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE MARCH 15,1924 MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams Howard University Glee Club Thrills sang "Spiri Large Audience good voice The Howard University Glee Club was heard in concert at the Columbia Hall, Takoma Park, Maryland, a college for white people, late in February on Saturday evening under the astute direction of Roy W. Tibbs. A large audience sat in relaxed absorption and listened to the thorough harmonized songs and all the melting sweetness in the violin-hummed harmonies that words cannot describe. There were times when the spontaneous applause they received came like a mighty rainstorm as it swept tumultuously from the audience. This impression particularly followed the numbers "But They Didn't," "Deep River" and "Invictus." At a signal from the director the entire group began to sing with clear-cuf attack and unified shading of tone. Each voice had its personal tone quality and registered its individual touch as would have the different instruments in a symphony orchestra, yet astonishing unity in ensemble prevailed. The songs ranged through all the moods of life in their motifs. Some were short and merry, with a lilt that had mischief in them, others were somber and held tragic poignancy. A fine tenor voice, that of Ernest Hembys, carried the solo part of Burleigh's "Just You" with the human accompaniment of the other voices that was almost uncanny at times in imitation of stringed instruments. This song was so lovely that it was among the numbers enthusiastically asked for repetition, and so was the solo work of James B. Majors, baritone. Mr. Majors sang Burleigh's "Go Down Moses," and "Her Rose" by Combs, none the less charming and in a manner truly fascinating. He poured forth a real glory of voice in forte or sank it to the merest whisper at will. This fine ensemble rose to mighty climaxes, or as softly as a zephyr flowed harmonies in four voice with grand organ-like tones struck from human throats. Alston W. Burleigh, reader, created a mild sensation in his most vivid character delineations. He was highly complimented. It is undoubtedly one of the best glee clubs in the country and Bernard Walton proved a very sympathetic accompanist. Van Whitted Proves Adept Organist at St. Mary's Van. S. Whitted, Mus.B., of Philadelphia, Pa., the first degree student to major on organ and to graduate from that department at the Howard conservatory of Music, appeared last Friday evening, March 7th, in recital at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Oscar L. Mitchell, Rector. Of all musical instruments the organ is the most complicated and difficult to play. It requires more agility and dexterity, and to be well played must be mastered by a person who has an unusual faculty of coordination; power of quick decision, and above all, he must be one who is a thoroughly trained musician. In fact the standard of musicianship among organists is much higher, and reasonably so from the general demands made upon them. A good organist must be a good musician, and it may be said to the credit of the profession, that the best representatives of the art of organ playing invariably measure up to this standard. Van S. Whitted belongs to this particular class of organists. Bach and his monumental works for the organ (for no recital is complete without at least one) was represented in his "Fuge in A Minor" which was full of brilliance as the opening number. Then followed Rheinberger's "Vision," and Faulkes "Scherzo in D Minor" delicately executed. "Ave Maria" (Henselt); ['Songs Without Words" (Bonnett), and 'Adagio from Scnata III" (Guilmett) teemed with expressive beauty in the soft delicacy of organ-voices of spiritual tone like dancing fairies in a mid-summer's night dream. Nervin's "Will O' the Wisp" conveyed a cheerful atmosphere and "Evening Bells and Cradle Song" by McFarlane brought an interesting contrast although not quite so fascinating in tonal blend. Widor's "Allegro Vivace from Symphony V" and "Tosatta," the closing number, formed a fitting finale to parts one and two on the program. The last named being a real test of the organist's skill showing splendid command of registers and highly developed technical powers. It occurs to our mind however that to start a program with a Bach Fugue is not advisable as the auditors are not ready for work of such importance and proportions and are not prepared to listen. and proportions and are not prepared the way and place it in the middle of the program, where it will receive deserved recognition? A Bach opening is traditionally true but the suggestion may be deserving of some little thought. Benj. J. Ragsdale sang "Spirit of God" (Neidlinger) in good voice but with only fair enunciation. Mr. Whitted possesses clarity, concentration and rhythmic control developing the "grand style," the direct road to virtuosity. There was variety and mood to please all tastes, all schools being represented on the program. He showed a fine sense of registration with accuracy in pedalling, phrasing and interpreting in rare form, developing in rich harmony combinations, and using to pleasing effect the "Vox Humana." That wonderful organ creates marvelous tonal effects of rich sonority well worth the hearing. Stokowski once said to an audience of children for whom the Philadelphia orchestra was playing: "Music is a picture painted on a background of silence. Therefore, if you make even the slightest distracting sounds, these are blemishes on the canvass." So on this particular occasion, though few in number, there was a silent cultured gathering of music lovers. Music Students Elect Officers A large group of music students met at the Y.W.C.A. last week and elected the following officers: president, Mrs. Rosella G. Molson; vicepresidents, Misses Jane Green and Gertrude Jones; recording secretary, Miss Julia Coles; corresponding secretary, Miss Ethyl Wise; treasurer, Mr. Charles Myers. The name of "National Federation of Music Students' Clubs" was selected and a constitution adopted. Next meeting at the "Y" Saturday, March 15, at 8 p.m. to complete organization. All interested are invited. Mrs. Geneva Brown, organist of St. Paul A. M. E. Church and Dr. Annie G. Green, organist of Metropolitan Baptist Church are registered for the organization of an Organists' Guild locally. All organists are urged to send their name and address at once to "Music editor" 1911 9th St., N.W. Miss H. L. Perry, organist of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church is a member. Is "Negro Nuances" Coming Here? Will Cook, Abbie Mitchell, James P. Johnson and W. Handy are a quartet of musical personages who are worth noticing to be sure. The interesting news report comes to us through the columns of the Baltimore Afro-American in a special article by J. A. Jackson of the "Bill Board" that Washington will have the pleasure of sizing up this new production which is an episode revelation of the musical history of the Negro that begins in far away Africa. Early in March it is stated that it will be given three weeks' time in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington then on to little old New York. Here are the folks in this wonderful combination: Will Marion Cook, composer Abbie Mitchell, now recognized as the greatest colored singer of the present decade; James P. Johnson, who wrote the music of "Runnin' Wild" (including "Old Fashion Love" which Washington has worn to a frazzle); W. C. Handy of "Memphis Blues" fame; Louis Douglass, accepted authority on the cake-walk, strut and jazz features; Miller and Lyle, furnishing novel, patriotic and comic effects, relieving the musical effects, all of which goes to make a "riot" in town when they do appear. THE special Lenten Sunday afternoon music series will be begun at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church on M Street, Northwest, Sunday afternoon, March 16th, by the appearance of the Post Office Glee Club of Baltimore. This club attained much distinction of late in its local musical circles. It will make its first appearance before a Washington audience where the club expects to present a special program. The Lenten musicales are given each Sunday afternoon from 4:30 to 6 o'clock, and are frequently attended by a large and select audience of the music lovers of the city. C. Theodore Thomas is the musical director and Wesley H. Thomas is business manager. Other musical artists to appear in the series are: on March 23rd, Miss Goldie Guy, pianist, assisted by the Howard University Glee Club; March 30th, Chester Smith of Boston, baritone; April 6th, the Clef Club Ladies Charus of the Minor Normal School of this city; April 13th, (Palm Sunday) the Amphion Glee Club; April 20th, (Easter Sunday) Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, sopranô, and Wesley Howard, violinist; April 27th, Mrs. Sylvia Ward Olden, soprano and Clyde Glass, pianist. Henry Blair was the first colored man to receive a patent on an invention. In 1834 and 1836 he was granted a patent on a corn harvester. Treason to God Almighty . . . Negro Sanhedrin. . . "All God's Chillun Got Wings." Seeing classes of school children passing through the "Hall of the Age of Man" in the American Museum, where, illustrating the evolutionary theory, are displayed skulls and bones of prehistoric ape-men, so stirred the Rev. Dr. Seeing classes of school children passing through the "Hall of the Age of Man" in the American Museum, where, illustrating the evolutionary theory, are displayed skulls and bones of prehistoric ape-men, so stirred the Rev. Dr. I. L. Parker J. Roach Straton, that he had to give vent to his feelings. In a recent sermon, in Calvary Baptist Church, New York, he characterized the display as "treason to God Almighty and a libel against the human race to put into the minds of little children the degrading idea that we have come up from the beasts, on evidence so flimsy and untrustworthy as that which has been assembled there." Dr. Straton, presumably does not know that a more complete restoration of the story of the descent of mankind has never been compiled from geological records and physiological inference than that which is contained in the "Hall of the Age of Man." In making the exhibit, those in charge had no thought of the earth being created in six days, nor of man being the product of the sixth day. They assumed that man is a product of other forms of life through a slow process of evolution. Every statement, in explanation of the exhibit, is made as a result of scientific research and has the general support of scientists. Dr. Straton would have the "Hall of the Age of Man" devoted to exhibits illustrating the Biblical account of the creation and of the "fall" of man. "In one case," says he, "could be shown an exhibit of the breaking of hearts and the setting adrift of little children, without anyone to guide them, on the stormy seas of life, and all because of loss of faith in the Bible and its teachings." How confused is Dr. Straton's mind! Scientists do not and can not start with theories and proceed to facts, but with facts and allow these to do what they will with theories. Dr. Straton asked too much when he asked that the findings of scientists be altered to agree with authoritative doctrine. Scientists do not claim that their findings are final.Everything set forth in the "Hall of the Age of Man" may be modified upon the revelation of new data. If Dr. Straton possesses more circumstantial proofs, he should let them be known and seen. The "Negro Sanbedrin" has already done what many at first thought was inadvisable, impossible. It met in Chicago recently, bringing into conference leaders of the individual groups which are endeavoring to better the conditions of the Negro race. The purpose being to make a catalogue of all questions confronting the Race and to devise a plan of united effort to remove the causes of these questions. We are not far enough removed from the original meeting to measure with accuracy the value of this exchange of ideas. We do know that well-worded resolutions and statements, like prayers, are of no avail without work which makes for harmony. It is by the underlying effort to unite the forces working for the common good of all—the spirit of the Sanhedrin—that it will be appraised. It is not worth the name if it does not strive to win a complete freedom for the Race—spiritual, mental, and material. We hope that it will not be dominated and directed by men so blind, so deaf, and so stupid that they can not see the danger in any program or course of action depending entirely upon the present American educational, social, and economic plan relating to Negro freedom and opportunity. If the spirit of the Sanhedrin brings forth a permanent Negro organization whose strength is directed in unison, it has not been in vain. * * * * * * * We have read Eugene O'Neil's latest play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings," which has caused so much comment in the press. He, it is generally conceded, as an author at least, cares for neither race, creed, nor color. It is in the cause of humanity that he puts forth his efforts. We will not say whether the play is good or bad until we see it performed. However, after reading the play, the gods of Selfishness, Hate, Envy, Revenge seem to be fighting for a while to reign in us. We can not prevail upon ourselves to believe that it is necessary for a Negro to let go all ambitions, hopes, ideals, in order that he may be the husband of a white wife who is a social exile from her own race. We feel that the play misrepresents both races. "Jim," the husband, selected as the highest type of Negro, shows that civilization when applied to the Negro, is but a veneer which covers mental and moral inferiority which can be torn away by the merest trifle, leaving its temporary possessor at the mercy of elementary emotionalism, which is as O'Neil portrays it, childish vanity. "Ella," the white wife, is essentially weak and incredibly stupid. The situation which confronts her is one which even the most moronic flapper could control. Yet, when we realize that "it's in the play," in the development of the plot, we are relieved. No book nor play ever wrecks social order. If bad, it serves as a warning. If good, it increases social progress.

Hamlet, the Ku Kluxer; Cleopatra, the courtesan; Oedipus, the incestuous; Raffles, the thief; Rip Van Winkle, the wife deserter; Uncle Tom's Cabin, the mirror of slavery, all have lent their influence in the development of the social order of today. "All God's Chillun Got Wings" can do no more. It is an interesting and pertinent theme never before portrayed on the American stage. Silence and inactivity will never solve the issue. It is true that the social order is bad, at least, but not so bad as a century or more ago. Hon. John H.

She is a scrumptious little Miss; She doesn't ever whip a chap She wears a pleasant cherry smile, And she dresses sharp and dapper. Because her hair is all bobbed off— She told me just the other day That some day I'll be great— I didn't like her much at first She tells me I'm her pet. I just love my new teacher, She's a pippin you can bet; And mind her to the letter. But now I like her better F rush to do just what she says. She calls the girlies dearies.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE MARCH 15.1924 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." Made from Men's or Boy's Shirts Dear Editor: I know that many of the Tribunites have brothers who, are hard on their shirts, and when the upper part of the shirts are worn beyond repair, the shirts are thrown away. Many articles may be made from the bottoms and sleeves of worn shirts. The material is better than the cotton material in women's underwear. If the cuffs and collars of the shirt are only worn, you can take a piece from the bottom to bind the cuffs and collar and the shirt will wear for some time longer, or if the turnover cuff on a soft neglige shirt is worn on the edge, simply remove the cuff from the wrist and reverse the cuff, then when the cuff is turned over the good side will be outside. A shirt that can no longer be worn will make a child's petticoat, drawers, underwaists, bloomers, baby dresses, little girls' and women's aprons, pillowcases for baby, and baby nightdresses. To cut over into infant's slips, open down the center front and cut the little front sections of the slip from the front of the shirt and the back sections of the slip from the back of the shirt. Use the pieces left over from the back for facings and bindings. The sleeves for the slip may be easily cut from the sleeves of the shirt. Another way to treat the edges of the worn cuffs of shirts is to take a piece of the material from the side seam and put a neat binding of about a quarter of an inch round the cuff, and the shirt may then be worn for another long period of time. Don't throw away men's linen collars because they are frayed at the edge. The linen in these collars is usually an excellent quality. Soak the starch out and use for collars and cuffs on children's dresses, add a little embroidery; they will outwear any dress. I am a big sister who has to care for three little sisters, because my mother is dead. I read the "Children's Page" and was thinking that perhaps some little mother's helper would appreciate my suggestions. MARY R. STEVENS(16) O-o-o-h!

The play "The Mock Initiation" which was to have been given by the Usher's Board of Roberts Chapel, M. E. Church was not performed Monday night because of inclement weather. The date for the performance has been set for Monday night, March 17 at the Community Building. While no definite action has been taken by the Lafayette Junior baseball team as a whole, many of the members assert that the Juniors are apt to disorganize and that many of the members intend to join the Lafayette (senior). Woman's Day was celebrated at Roberts Chapel M. E. Church on last Sunday. At 11 a.m. Rev. C. C. Gill preached. At 7:45 p.m. a literary and musical program was rendered by women. Mrs. Mary Thompson of the Washington Y.W.C.A. who was to deliver an address did not appear. The church was appropriately decorated. Mrs. Laura Holland was mistress of ceremonies. The collection raised for this event was $144.35. At the regular weekly meeting of the Lafayette baseball club, the membership drive was extended until Tuesday, April 1. Three new members were elected to membership. The club is making preparations for an intensive spring training with prospects for a good season. Local school teachers will be glad to learn that a very hopeful bit of progress has been shown in the past year in Accomac County by the consent of the school board to adopt a graduated scale of salaries for Negro teachers, varying from $40 to $65 a month according to the amount of professional training they possess, instead of the flat sum of $40 a month previously paid to all Negro teachers whether they had had only seven grades of schooling or were graduates of good colleges.

It is very nicely equipped, but there are so many first-aid necessities, such as absorbent gauze for bandages, iodine, arsenic spirits of ammonia, hot water bottle, etc., for little emergencies that may arise, that we publish this to let you know that contributions of these needs would be welcomed.

In some places the puddles were above the tops of the children's shoes. Two years ago the writer drew up a petition for a civic organization, asking the City Council to pave the thoroughfares leadin gto the schools. Odd as it may seem, some of the members thought it wise to ask for "any kind" of pavements or roads. No action was taken by the city officials upon the receipt of the petition.

MISSOURI DELEGATE SQUABBLE (Lincoln News Service) St. Louis, Mo.—Not less interesting than the Reed and McAdoo struggle to capture the Missouri delegation to the National Democratic Convention, is the fight now being staged by our colored male and female politicians, each of whom are ambitious to attend the National Republican Convention as a delegate-at-large. Among the most prominent of those mentioned in this connection are J. Silas Harris, Aaron Malone, J. H. Bradbury, J. R. A. Crossland, C. G. Williams, Miss Bertha Buckner, Miss Minnie Crosswaite, Fred Dabney, B. F. Bowles, C. H. Calloway, Homer Phillips and L. A. Knox. As the Republican State Convention does not meet in Springfield until April 27, it is thought that there is ample time to considerably reduce the size of the slate by the well-known process of eliminating those whose party records in local as well as state affairs will not stand an X-ray exposure. "THE STRANGER" and ADDED ATTRACTION AT THE REPUBLIC Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 will bring to the Republic a photoplay and an added attraction of such distinguished merit as to make the two combined the outstanding event of the season. The photoplay, "The Stranger" is a powerful and dramatic story of the human struggle for happiness and love, Paramount has selected to interpret the chief roles Betty Compson, Richard Dix, Lewis Stone and Tully Marshall. The story concerns an English gentleman of impeccable habits, who standing for parliament, is shocked to discover that his brother Larry, a neer-do-well and none too respectable, has appeared in London on the eve of election and has contracted a love affair with a girl on the streets. This leads to one of the strangest elimaxes you have ever witnessed. Leon A. Jones, marimba virtuosus, will be praised for his versatility and rare musicianship, will be heard in a program suited to please everyone, with three appearances Sunday at 5, 7:30 and 9:30; and two appearances on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 and 9:30. May McAvoy in a charming picture, "Through a Glass Window" will be the feature attraction on Friday and Saturday, March 21 and 22. A comedy, newsreel and other short subjects complete the bill. The Republic Theatre Orchestra, under the direction of A. Russell Wooding, will furnish the musical embellishments throughout the week. Phone Franklin 3992 JOSEPH S.
