First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 44 MISS BURROUGHS GIVEN BANQUET AND PURSE Fitting Tribute paid to great woman by New Jersey friends Jersey City, N. J.-April 12--Last night, the Bethesda Church was the scene of one of the largest and prettiest banquets ever given in this city. The guest of honor was Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The affair was given by the Bethesda Baptist Church, under the direction of Reverend Thomas H. White, who was ably assisted by the following persons: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Branch, Mr. and Mrs. E. Long, Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Walden, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Bates, Mrs. Thomas White, Mrs. Sarah Holmøs, Mrs. C. M. Oliver, Mr. E. L. Brown, Mr. Joseph Daniels, Mr. D. D. Carvin, Mr. George Jackson, Mr. T. J. Baylor, Mr. G. W. Person, Mr. J. H. Bouner, Mr. J. E. Williams. The Church was elaborately decorated with palms, ferns, and roses. The lecture room of the church was turned into a real banquet hall. It was artistically decorated. Covers were laid for one hundred and fifty. The church was packed with people representing 'all of the interests and activities of the city. At the close of her address, Miss Burroughs was presented with a handsome silver mesh bag, containing one hundred dollars in gold, "for her personal use." Doctor White, in presenting the gift, said that, while the people must support the work, they must also remember the worker. The spirit of the whole occasion was most unusual and inspiring. In fact, the enthusiasm ran so high that the committee, in presenting the token of appreciation, said, "We are so happy over this whole affair that we could be mighty glad to have another banquet just like, this, tomorrow night, and give you another purse bigger than the one which we now present." SENATOR CAPPER TO ADDRESS TEACHERS Long before the commencement hour teachers of the Washington public schools, connected with divisions 10 and 13, poured into the big auditorium in the main building of the Dumbar High School, Wednesday evening, to hear the Hon. Arthur Capper, United States Senator from Kansas, address them, as members of the Columbian Educational Association. In introducing Senator Capper, William Houston, a member of the Board of Education, intimated that the Race had no better friend in Congress than Senator Capper, who could always be counted on as being a real champion of the cause. The Senator in discussing the teachers' salary question said that he was surprised to find that in a list of forty-five cities or more, that Washington stood near the bottom compared with the pay of teachers. He asserted that the blame for this could be placed at the door of Congress. "The moment I entered Congress," declared Senator Capper, "and was assigned to the school committee, I felt something should be done to make the schools of the nation's capital the best in the country." The Senator also lauded achievements made by the Colored people in the last fifty years, and read statistics to prove what he said. "Just think of it." he continued, $28,000,000 spent annually to educate your people and $2,000,00 of that contributed by you." A beautiful floral design was then brought upon the stage and it was plain that the Senator was visibly touched, as the presentation was made. Other features on the program were the Girls' Glee Club of Miner Norma solo by Mr. Guy; short talks by Supt. School; readig by Austin Burleigh; Garnet C. Wilkinson and Dr. Frank W. Ballou. Mr. Grant Lucas is the president of the association. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E.

DWIGHT HOLMES ADDRESSES PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION Those who attended the meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of the Denmond public school, held in the school building last Friday evening, were treated to an intensely interesting talk from Mrs. Dwight Holmes, one of the supervisors, in the social work connected with the Board of Children's Guardians for the District of Columbia. Mrs. Holmes, in the course of her remarks, made plain many of the questions not quite clear in the minds of the community, concerning the administration of the association, and she assured all, that every facility was being sought to protect the unfortunate wards, brought to the notice of the society she represented. Published Weekly Staunch Friend of Race in South Dead Atlanta, Ga.—In the death of John J. Eagan, of this city, which took place on March 30, the causes of interracial goodwill and economic justice lost a true and powerful friend—one whose life was devoted almost wholly to these ideals. In 1919 Mr. Eagan helped to organize the Commission on Interracial Cooperation and was its chairman until his death. When the Federal Council of Churches set up a similar commission, he was called upon to head that as well. He was also the moving spirit in the local interracial committee of Atlanta. Mr. Eagan was deeply interested also in the problem of Christianizing industry, and was a pioneer in this field. As the principal owner and manager of a great manufacturing enterprise in Birmingham, he introduced profit sharing on an extensive scale and employee representation in management. In one year, profits amounting to $200,000 which would ordinarily have gone to the stock holders, were distributed to the employees, over and above their regular wages. It is especially significant that in all the benefits of Mr. Eagan's welfare plans while living and also in the provisions of his will, the several hundred colored employees of the concern participate fully and on equal terms. Suggests Use of Finger Prints To the Editor of The Washington Tribune: Many complaints have been made against the unjust civil service rules as applied to Colored people. The rule which requires applicants for examination to furnish photographs has been the cause of much just complaint and has been the greatest barrier to persons seeking the best positions in the government. In fact this rule has practically eliminated Colored people from the departmental service. Photographs are used as a means of identification and are supposed to prevent fraud by the possibility of an applicant putting a substitute in the examination. It also serves another purpose of allowing the certifying and appointing power to take undue advantage of Colored people by giving opportunity to discard any name desired before appointment is made. The Colored citizen is entitled to justice and an equal chance. This he will demand. As a substitute for the photograph, the writer suggests the use of finger prints as a means of identification. No reasonable objection could be made to this practical and business method. Finger prints are used for this purpose in some of the postal savings banks, the army, navy, police department and the Department of Justice The writer would suggest that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which represents a larger number of Colored people than any other secular organization, make a request of the Civil Service Commission that finger prints be used as a substitute for portraits. The large number of students that graduate every year often find difficulty in securing desirable occupation. Open and fair competition for appointment in the government service would make these people feel that they are a part of the government. The civil service retirement act is making many vacancies by automatically displacing superannuated employees. EDWAR L. CARTER James Weldon Johnson Lectures at Howard James Weldon Johnson Lectures at Howard Upon the subject "American Negro Poets and their Poetry" James Weldon Johnson, regarded as probably the outstanding man of letters in the Negro race today, addressed the faculty, students, friends of Howard University in the Rankin Memorial Chapel on the University Campus last evening, Thursday, April 10th.

Confereence in 107th Session The one hundred and seventh session of the Baltimore annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church opened at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church here Wednesday, April 16th. The conference is presided over by Bishop J. Albert Johnson. At noon yesterday, members of the conference called on President Calvin Coolidge. They were received very cordially by the President. The attendance this year is very large. Thursday's session was devoted to routine business. Thursday night a big educational celebration was held. Friday was the last day of the conference. The ordination sermon was delivered by Bishop J. Albert Johnson. Assignments of pastors to the various churches were made. THE LAWS OF LIFE INSURANCE THE LAWS OF LIFE INSURANCE The practical application of the laws of Life Insurance is the greatest force in bringing man to understand himself and his own supreme importance. When men discovered that there was a law of death they inevitably discovered the law of life. The laws of Life Insurance helped man to discover himself because it taught him that, through it, he could not only banish the terrors of life's uncertainty, but by its principle of co-operation he could of himself, and by himself create a power in the world of culture, finance, trade and literature. Civil laws are as various as nationalities. Life Insurance laws are the same everywhere. Civil laws halt at the frontier, beyond that is international law. Life Insurance laws are both civil and international. Its first law is co-operation; its second is justice; its third law is self respect; then comes the law of "you ought," following hard on the heels of "you can." The application of these laws causes man to see himself in his own majesty, his own power and his own responsibility. Through its process of instructive salesmanship, the Federal Life Insurance is fast welding into a solid phalanx an army of satisfied policy-holders. By degrees it is rising to take its rightful place in the insurance sum and prove to all the world that colored managed and owned enterprises, with principles of justice and equity for all may succeed and triumph over all obstacles. Watch its growth. See it through. CHILD IS KILLED BY AUTO. A colored child, age 5 years, Marthat Huston, 1125 Reed's Court, was knocked down by an auto driver, James Callan, age 28, of Chevy Chase. The injured child, suffering from a fractured skull, was carried to Emergency Hospital, where she died ten minutes later. The Coroners Jury exonerated the driver Miss NANNIE H. BURROUGHS METROPOLITAN A.M.E. CHURCH CITIZENS PROTEST METHODS OF POLICE One day last week, two officers, members of the Metropolitan police force spent most of the afternoon lounging around one of the public schools in Georgetown, waiting for dismissal time, so as to arrest a pupil charged with a small infraction of the law. No warrant had been issued it was said and further inquiry proved that the officers were acting without knowledge of the precinct from which definite instructions should have come. For awhile, affairs around the school were in a turmoil and the morale of the building somewhat up set. Two stalwart blue-coats, over shading a school house, where between three and four hundred pupils were in attendance, to take into custody a minor, who had parents that could be reached, was decidedly unethical and a violation of the best police code. This, the principal knew. She got in touch with the superintendent in his office at Franklin, who took up the matter promptly with the precinct commander and the humiliating incident came quietly to a close. High handed tactics, like these, on the part of local police officers, should cease. They should be instructed not to put public school houses under temporary quarantine, when arrests are being planned. Orders forbidding this from police headquarters would be intelligent procedure and hold in check just such patrolmen as the type of those the other day, who displayed-not merely unfitness for the uniform they wore; but the lack of ordinary discretion in the performance of their duty.

New York City, April 14.—Henry Stucker, editor of the Cat's Meow, which is published at 202 West 138th Street, New York City, was arrested on Saturday, April 12, charged with printing indecent matter and sending same through the mail.

LEWIS HOLDS UNIQUE POSITION Is well known to the President and the Attorney General A new deal in the future may be expected in matters affecting the political interests of the Colored people of the United States with the increased attention President Coolidge is giving to the type of leadership which enjoys the high respect and confidence of the rank and file of the Colored citizens of the country. An example of this type of leadership is Hon. William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, who is now generally regarded as the outstanding influence at the White House in bringing about political changes affecting the Race. Mr. Lewis was a visitor at the National Capital recently and while in the city was in consultation by appointment at the White House with Secretary C. Bascom Slep, on Tuesday, April 1st, and on Wednesday, April 2nd with President Coolidge. Mr. Lewis, as a fellow-Alumnus with President Coolidge of Amherst College, Amherst, Mass., and with a large acquaintance throughout the country with the Alumni of Amherst College, and Harvard University, and the high rank he holds at the Massachusetts Bar and throughout the country as a legal light, has a position of vantage hardly to be equalled by any other member of the Race. He is a militant leader of the Colored People, jealous of seeing that their best interests are always protected, and possesses in no part of his stalwart being any trace of self-seeking. That such a leader is looked upon with favor by President Coolidge and his advisers will be regarded all over the country as a sign for larger and more important recognition of Colored People in the affairs of our Government. Honorable Harlan Fiske Stone, former Dean of the School of Law of Columbia University, New York, who has just been appointed Attorney General of the United States, was a student at Amherst during Mr. Lewis' college days and played on the Amherst football team with Mr. Lewis as Coach. The friendship of the two men has continued until this day. DR.W.E.B. DUBOIS GIVEN BANQUET New York City—Nearly six hundred men and women of many races attended the banquet given in honor of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois at the Lavarian cafe. The banquet was arranged by friends of Dr. DuBois as a token of their appreciation of his service. At the end of the large dining room stood a long raised table at which sat the speakers, men and women, black and white, all enlisted in distinguished fields. The celebrated white dramatist, Ridgeley Torrence, sat beside the celebrated black educator and builder of civilization, Mary McLeod Bethune. The speech of John Hampton, one of the greatest actors on the stage, was a splendid piece of philosophy and an eloquent plen for racial unity. Eugene O'Neill, and Zona Gale, sent their tributes from afar, teeming with admiration of the distinguished Negro scholar, and the great race he represents, while Joel E. Spingarn sent his from his bed of pain. The Lieutenant Governor, rising above the mediocrity of political utterance, and Justice Mack of the Supreme Court and Overseer of Harvard, talked on such sublime themes as human rights as the only basis of government, and discrimination as the wreckers of our institutions. The young black poet, Countee Cullen, read his poem, "The Fledglings to the Eagles" which was a thing of beauty. The diners were evenly divided between white and colored races from various sections of the country, who vision a democracy that can translate into life the gospel of equality in the Declaration of Independence and the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution. Among the Washington people who attended the banquet were Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Prof. Neval H. Thomas.

Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va. April 15—The Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute whose conductor is R. Nathaniel Dettre recently presented in recital Florence Cole-Talbert, the well-known coloratura soprano, who entertained in Ogden Hall a large audience of Hampton Institute workers and students. R. N. DETT TELLS OF NORTHERN TOUR R. Nathaniel Det. on the invitation of Principal J. E. Gregg, recently delivered at the Hampton Institute Sunday evening service a report on his concert tour, which included Cappa-hosie. Va.; St. Paul; Selkirk and Winnipeg, Canada; Chicago; Cleveland; St. Louis; Oklahoma City; Fort Worth; and Cincinnati. Everywhere this Negro composer-pianist was greeted by large and appreciative audiences. His compositions were played and sung by leading white and colored musicians. His recital-lectures were given wide and favorable newspaper reports. "Muisc," said R. Nathaniel Dett. "brings people to a common understanding. People everywhere are showing a tremendous interest in Negro music. The outside world is trying to understand Negroes who have poured into their music so much of their soul and experience. Now is the time for some Negro to write a wonderful oratorio, orchestral composition, book, or play. There is a growing desire to do justice to the Negro." The music critics were unanimous in their praise of R. Nathaniel Dett's work as a composer and pianist. They paid tribute to him as "the first American to express the Negro folksong in classical terms."

CITIZENS ASSOCIATION PROTEST At the regular monthly meeting of the Pleasant Plains Citizens' Association held in Bruce School, Friday April 11, a resolution was adopted strongly opposing the proposed plan to close Fairmont and Girard Streets, in order to permit Howard University to erect an athletic stadium. The members of the association were not opposed to the expansion of Howard University, but against the proposed plan to close either Fairmont or Girard Streets, and the probable rendering of Sixth Street undesirable for residential purposes. The association also went on record as opposing the order of the Superintendent of education suppressing all school news except through certain school officials. The condition of the streets in this section and also the irregular collection of ashes were strongly condemned. M. Grant Lucas, prominent in education circles, addressed the meeting on the growth of the school and the coming educational congress to be held in Washington at an early date. E. J. Morton presided. NEW BOOK ON NEGRO PUBLISHED "From Superman to Man," by J. A. Rogers, is now out in book form as a result of the great demand from the large number of those who read it serially. This book is without a doubt the greatest and most popular one that has ever been written on the race question. It is not too much to say that it answers every argument that has ever been advanced by enemies of the race and does so in most masterly style, sweeping the ground entirely from under the feet of those who claim superiority as based on color. In its pages all the most debated points such as the relative mentality, physical and facial beauty, sex instinct, chastity, odor, truthfulness, health, honesty of the two races are discussed and compared, as well as politics, the slavery of white people in Colonial America and other parts of the world, intermarriage, cannibalism among white people, religion, ancient Negro civilizations, attraction and repulsion of the two races, lynching, are all dealt with in a gripping, interesting argument between an anti-Negro Senator and a highly educated Pullman porter on a car bound for California. This great book is in its fourth edition. It has been rewritten and contains much surprising new and up-to-date information. All in all it is a book that no Negro can afford to do without, as with its aid he can effectively demolish every argument his enemies of the other race brings out against him. "From Superman to Man" is published by the Lenox Publishing Co., 2572 Seventh avenue, New York City. NEW METHOD LAUNDRY BURNED The New Method Laundry located at 1326 6th Street, S.W. was damaged by fire of unknown origin which occurred Monday night, March 7th. Living on the premises were Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Bates and family; Mr. and Mrs; Alex Pringle and his mother. Mr. and Mrs. Bartee discovered the fire at 12:30 Monday night, finding the first floor of the building in a full blaze. Neighbors were aroused by the fire and someone turned in the fire alarm resulting in the quick response of the fire department. Mr. Oscar Bartee with his cool mind formed a fire escape with blankets and thus carried his wife through a window almost to safety, but in the excitement she lost nerve and fell to the ground with a slight injury. She was rushed to the hospital where she received treatment for a few days. Mr. Bartee and son also escaped through the window without injury. Others who escaped without injury were Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Pringle; Mr. and Mrs. Strand. Damages to the laundry are estimated at about $2,000. Mrs. Pringle, mother of Alex. Pringle, the manager, was very seriously injured and is now in the Casualty Hospital.

Name A The Tribune Sport Review League Season Begins Next Thursday, April 24th SPORTS CHATTER Grand Opening of the Eastern League Baseball Season The League Se Record Crowd Expected to View Opening Game That Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs open the 1924 Eastern Colored League baseball season at the American League park, at 3:30 o'clock. Thursday, April 24, opposing the Cuban Stars in the first of a three-game series is an old story, told over and over again. But it should be repeated until it not alone rebounds from the lips of every Race man and woman in the District but until the entire population answers the call, "present." Why? Because it marks the first time in history of organized professional Negro baseball that a Washington team has been represented. Att odd times in the past professional clubs have represented Washington for a short duration. Last year Ben Taylor put the Potomacs in the field. The going for Taylor was ought but he stuck to his task and carried his team through the season, bent on securing an Eastern League franchise, so that he could give local fans the best baseball the Race can afford. True to the name given him in the West, "Old Reliable" has carried out his program to date. That alone should guarantee a record crowd on the opening day. Possible Pennant Winner Possible Female Winner But Taylor has gone even a step farther, scoured the country and will put an aggregation on the field Thursday that baseball experts consider the "dark horse" of the league race. In fact Manager Taylor can see nothing but a pennant for his team but should the P's be resting in a first division berth at the end of the season they will have enjoyed a remarkable year, especially in consideration of the fact that this two-year-old club will be competing with aggregations established for a decade or more. Potomacs Well-Balanced The strength of the club lies in its well balanced power in all departments. It will be a great defensive combination with better than average hitting ability. The pitching ranks with the best in the league. "Stringbean" - Williams, ace of the staff, begins his fourth year of professional baseball in better shape than for over five years. "Stringbeans" worked three innings against the Tigers Sunday and not a ball was hit out of the infield off him. Hampion and Newsome, last year members of the Hildale and Indianapolis clubs, respectively, complete the "big three." Four other pitchers will be carried. They are, Bell, the Texas League southpaw; Smith, the speed bail artist from Denver; Clarke, the Howard University lefthander, and Barner, last year member of the Teddy Bears a local club. Clarke is a senior at Howard and will not report to the club until June. Behind the bat the team has Eggleton, ranked as one of the leading catchers in the country and Fred Ben H. Taylor's WASHINGTON Standing, left to right—Eggleton, Burner, Jones, Smith, Owens, Mgr, Taylor, A. Williams, Newsom, T. Williams Kneeling—J. Taylor, Hamilton, Goodrch, Shively, Anderson, Bell, Hampton, Brown. (Photo by Scurlock) Williams a youngster that performed in the Texas League last year. Eggleton, a good hitter, accurate and powerful thrower and fanned for getting most out of pitchers, will catch the majority of the games. "Old Reliable," himself, will guard the first sack. Nuf ced. I might add that Ben has already set-up two long distance hitting records this season on the monument lot. The remainder of the infield will be composed of Anderson, second-base, Hamilton or Owens, shortstop and Goodrich, third-base. Already those who have seen "Bubbles" Anderson perform around second are predicting that he will be the sensation of the league. He looks to be a hitter of just below the 200 mark. The writer has few ball players with a surer pair of fielding hands. Hamilton will likely get the call over Owens, chiefly because of his superior hitting ability. Both are excellent fielders. Hamilton will show startling improvement as the season lengthens. The reliable, "Peppery" Joe Goodrich will hold down the hot corner. Joe is improving all the time. Illness during the winter delayed his rounding to form but now the youthful Texas midget is flashing his oldtime pop. Goodrich will have a great year The Potomac's outfield with George Shively, long a Western league star; Elias "Country" Brown, also a national juniper and Peter Washington the fleet Georgian, looks on paper the peer of every garden combination in the circuit. Hitting and fielding power coupled with speed, youth and experience make this trio really for midable. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY.

The shortage of space kept this article out of last week's Tribune. However, in last week's edition a picture of the Omega Psi Phi basketball team appeared with the following caption over the picture, "Delta 5", Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Wins Local Interfraternity Championship." Joseph E. Moore, Manager of the Kappa quint calls us to question for not publishing his fraternity's claim to the championship and states that the picture was misleading. He then proceeds to tell us that Omega beat Alpha and Sigma and Kappa beat Omega, and thereby wins the title. However, Kappa suffered defeat at the hands of Alpha in Philadelphia. And to the writer so far as a fraternity championship goes neither Omega, Kappa or Alpha has a clean claim. But both Alpha and Omega used only local fraternity men in the local games but Kappa did not and therefore Omega in the opinion of this writer can be classed as the local champs. We may be wrong. LINCOLN AND UNION DISCARD WAR TOGS The second example of colleges entering into friendly relations after "breaks" spanning a number of years was recorded last week with the announcement that Union and Lincoln Universities are scheduled to meet on the gridiron next fall. Atlanta and Morehouse discarded their war togs late last year and are again on good athletic terms. It is great stuff to see the athletic authorities of these institutions bury the hatchet. Union and Lincoln football teams will meet in Norfolk, Va., on October 25. SPORTS WRITER SUGGESTS AN ORGANIZATION Bennie Butler, Sports Editor, of the Hotel Tattler, a New York weekly struck a popular chord, recently through his columns, when he urged Negro sport writers of the East to get together and form an organization. Already many sport writers have penned their approval of the suggestion. Apparently, the formality of calling a meeting alone remains and while the meeting may not be held until Thanksgiving, an eastern and possibly national sports writers association is obvious. It is a great move. meet at Howard University on Saturday, May 10th, reads like the pages of Who's Who. Chief among these notables is E. O. Gourdin, world's record broad jumper and former National pentathlon champion. Gourdin is working out at Soldier's Field under the watchful eyes of Eddie Farrell, in order to round into shape for the Olympic tryouts in June. This genius of the cinderpath won his spurs as a member of the track team at Jacksonville High School, Jacksonville, Fla., where he won six events in the inter-scholastic championship of that city, setting up records in four of these which have never been approached since that time. He matriculated at Harvard College in 1918 and soon became the best sprinter in New England College circles. In 1920, he barely missed making the trip to Autwerp with the American Olympic team because of fouling in the running broad jump.

FEATURING Philadelphia, Pa., April 12th—An important meeting of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs, was held at the Southwest Branch of the Y.M.C.A. in Philadelphia. Ben/Taylor, Tom Jackson, Jim Keenan, Colonel Strothers, Charles Spedden and Chairman Ed. Bolden comprised the gathering. The two missing commissioners, Alec Pompez and Nat C. Strong were unable to attend the meeting, Pompez is now in Cuba grooming his club for the coming pennant dash and Strong was engrossed in a business deal that prevented him from making the trip to Philadelphia. Several player differences were ironed out and the prospects of having umpires rotate around the circuit was thoroughly discussed with the result that Commissioners as a whole are decidedly in favor of this important phase of organized ball, but due to the fact that the opening of the season is practically at hand and the revision of the present system would require more time, the matter was tabled for a future date. However in considering the attention due the patrons of the ball parks the following rules affecting ball-players and umpires were adopted by the body and will be rigidly applied throughout the circuit. Code Framed for Players and Umpires Ball players: Courtesy to our patrons and discipline on the playing field must prevail at all times. All games must be played as speedily as possible, to this end it is necessary for all players to co-operate that no unnecessary time be consumed or players delay in any manner the progress of a game. The field captain or playing manager of each club shall alone represent his club in settling any controversy that may arise on the field or protest decisions in a manner becoming his position. Umpire batting will not be tolerated, banishment of a player from a game will subject the player to a fine of $25 for the first offense $50 for the second and drastic action will be taken for any succeeding offense. A fine of $100 will be inflicted upon any player guilty of assaulting an umpire.

Our umpires must to the best of their ability arbitrate unbiased games at all times. Discretion must be used in ejecting players from games. Decisions must be rendered promptly. Satisfactory service rendered will be appreciated by this Commission. Utter failure along this line of habitual dissatisfaction will cause the arbitrator to be removed. Tech Cagers Await The Armstrong-High School basketball players are putting on their final touches for the coming game with Wendell Phillips High of Chicago, listed for the Convention Hall, Monday night. Coach Miller reports that all his men are in perfect shape and altho the game is booked for a late date. there is no danger of his men going stale. Tech will probably line-up with Captain Turner at center, Ellis and Lacey, forwards, and Anderson and Temple, (captain-elect for 1925) guards. The Chicago lads will get in Easter Sunday and will spend three days in the city visiting points of interest. This trip will mark the second within a month for the Phillip cagers. They recently journeyed to Kansas City and scaled the high schoolers of that city. The game is certain to be a corker.

The o feel that they should be equally as w There are two bills before the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of the Congress of the United States, one to create "a commission on the racial question" and the other "to create a Negro Industrial Commission." The bill to create a commission on the racial question, provides for nine members, three of which are to be colored, and three whites from the South and three whites from the North, to be appointed by the President. "This Commission shall have authority to inquire into and thoroughly investigate the conditions surrounding the colored people in the United States." We do not need this all-inclusive commission. We are not of such a peculiar type that we should have a commission to which and thru which all matters concerning the race should be referred and this commission probably two-thirds hostile to the race. The bill to create an industrial commission is in a different category. The bill provides for five members, at least three of whom are to be colored, to be appointed by the President for a term of four years. This commission, the majority composed of Negroes, is to study the economic conditions and the labor problems of the Negro. This commission will have $200,000 with which to establish its work and yearly appropriations necessary for its work. With three Negroes, well selected, not the hat in hand type of the present political stevedores of the Perry Howard bloc, but, say, a lawyer like Butler Wilson of Massachusetts, a business man like W. H. C. Brown, of Virginia and a man from the middle West connected with the labor element along with two well selected white men, may make an ideal commission for the purpose indicated. The Negro is more and more in demand in the great industries of this country. A commission with authority may help to eliminate some of the obstacles which beset the Negro in his industrial and economic progress. Evidently the commission to the Virgin Islands opened the way for the Negro to enter more and more into governmental commissions and if the industrial commission is authorized and functions well we will have opened the way for Negro membership to the Civil Service Commission; the Inter-State Commerce Commission; The Farm Loan Commission; the Educational Bureau and various other commissions and bureaus in which the interest of the race forms a large part of the matters which come before these bodies. A NEW MEMBER FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD Each year three members of the school board are appointed, one of them a colored person. The three year term of Attorney Wm. L. Houston expires on June 30th; whether he will be re-appointed or a new member appointed in his place is not as yet known. While Mr. Houston has been classed as a militant member, he has not served the race particularly well. In fact he has failed to the extent that few if any of the leading organizations of this city have endorsed him for reappointment. The Judges of the Supreme Court of the District, who have the power of appointing the board, have their ears to the ground and are considering recommendations concerning the colored member to be appointed, coming from the people to be represented by that member. Such consideration on the part of the Judges is commendable and meets with the hearty approval of the 112,500 colored citizens of the District. The colored people feel they should have a young progressive business man appointed on the board this year and will endorse such a candidate for the position. This is the day for a thorough house cleaning. The parents are demanding a new order of things in the school system. They want as members of the school board, men who stand for progressive ideals and policies. Men who will be accountable for their acts and who will not advance their own selfish plans to the entire exclusion of the public's interest. The public is tired and rightfully so of family school cliques. They want as members of the Board of Education, men whose hands will not be tied by pre-appointment agreements, but will be free to do the bidding of the people they are supposed to represent. There are many reasons why a young progressive business man or a man representing the civic organizations of the District should be appointed. One helpful benefit that is sure to come out of such appointment is the restoring of the public's confidence in the Board of Education, and this is very much needed at the present time. The recent appointment of Capt. Peyser to the Board was a step forward in this direction. The colored citizens of the District feel that they should be equally as well represented in the coming appointments. AWARD OF $200 FOLKLORE PRIZE At the Spring Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History held in Philadelphia on the 3rd and 4th of this month there was awarded the Folklore Prize offered by the Association in cooperation with the American Folklore Society. The Committee on Award found that the best two collections had equal merit. The prize money was therefore, divided between these two, which were submitted by Miss Herlene M. Grier, a student of Hampton Institute, and the St. Helena Folklore Society of the Penn School, Frogmore, South Carolina. A prize of $200 is offered jointly by these societies for the best collection of tales, riddles, proverbs, sayings, and songs, which have been heard at home by Negro students of accredited schools. The aim is to study the Negro mind in relation to its environment at various periods in the history of the race and in different parts of the world. Students desiring to compete should give their names to the head of their institution that he may forward them to the Director of the Association, who will answer all necessary inquiries.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE OPENS MAY 1st. The Colored Departmental League held a meeting in the Holy Name Guild last night. The following teams were represented: War and Navy, Government Printing Office, Treasury, Register of Treasury, Museum, Post Office, Railway Mail Service, and Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Officers were elected as follows: R. M. Carter, president; G. W. Fowler, vice-president; W. Ellis, secretary, and W. E. Lindsley, treasurer. The league expects to open its playing season the first of May. Another meeting will be held next Wednesday. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1924 SOMETHING OF INTEREST By I. L. PARKER SOMETHING OF INTEREST Silent Coolidge, The Coward What Are Trumps? Plead? No. Work. Silent Coolidge has remained silent for a long time. He has seen one Cabinet officer proved corrupt, another forced out as incompetent, a third driven out as wholly unfit. He is held responsible for continuance of corruption, incompetency, and degradation. a long time. He has seen one Cabinet officer proved corrupt, another forced out as incompetent, a third driven out as wholly unfit. He is held responsible for continuance of corruption, incompetency, and degradation I. L. Parker in the public services, yet, as a lamb led to the slaughter, he has hardly opened his mouth nor batted an eye. He is satisfied, we learn through Senator. Pepper's utterances, that a Cabinet 30 per cent corrupt, or incompetent, is not so bad. How singular it is that Mr. Coolidge, after three months of majestic silence, finds something scandalous enough to arouse him! The something, though indefensible in itself, is a mole's heap to a mountain, when compared with the alleged performances of Fall, Denby, Daugherty and Forbes. If the employment of Mr. Heney is bad practice, and, as Mr. Coolidge says, "in conflict with the spirit of a statute," the employment of Mr. Falby by Sinclair was downright crookedness. If the pursuit of Mr. Mellon is unwarranted, malicious, the associations of Mr. Daugherty were disgraces. Since the wrath of the Silent Coolidge was not displayed earlier at the stupidity and graft in his own Cabinet, it should have been withheld while protesting against the abuse of power by Senator Couzens. There is utter disproportion between the anger of the Couzens' rebuke and the gentility of the Denby and Daugherty resignation letters. It is startling. It shows Mr. Coolidge, as the coward bully, counter-attacking with all his artillery the weakest point in the enemy's line; decrying all the Senate investigations. The big bully gets his revenge on the small weakling. Likewise, Mr Coolidge, furiously angered, attacks Senator Couzens because he dares not show his anger at Senators Wheeler and Walsh. If you are playing a game of whist, the boys will tell you, "When in doubt play trumps." But if you do not know what trumps are you are in a well, one can not depend on your play. Mr. Coolidge seems to be in a similar position in the game of politics he is playing. Not so long ago in one afternoon, he or his spokesman offered three explanations of the Coolidge-Mean exchange of telegrams. In a key-note speech for Republicans to Republicans in Maine, Senator Pepper gave an alibi for the Administration. We summarize the alibi as follows: "There was only 30 per cent corruption or incompetency in the Cabinet. "President Harding was responsible for that, therefore, it is proper to hide behind his name. "The present Congress is not controlled by Republicans, therefore, the Republican Party is not responsible for what happens." These scandals were revealed to create a third party. This was a thin alibi to offer at the opening for the Republican national campaign. For to describe 30 per cent corruption or incompetence in the Departments of the Interior, Navy, Justice, and the Veterans' Bureau as not important is a sordid apology; to use President Harding's name as a screen behind which to hide is ignoble; to deny responsibility in a Congress which is Republican in both branches is a confession of weakness; and to say that Democrats are trying to create a third party is pure check. Finding that the key-noter proved to be a discord, President Coolidge made Senator Pepper the goat by denying that the White House knew in advance what the Senator intended to say. Had the Senator's speech met with general public approval, the White House would have been satisfied that it had played a trump card. Mr. Coolidge's message of rebuke to the Senate concerning Senator Couzens' employment of Francis Honey was so confusing that Mr. Watson of Indiana, feeling himself in a privileged position, volunteered to interpret it to his fellow-Senators. It placed Republican Senators and party workers who are eager to do their best for the Administration in an embarrassing position. Explanations only made matters worse. The Senate would like to know. "What are trumps?" Secretary C. Bascom Slemp, speaking for the President, urged the Republican progressives to "stand by the party" by voting to unseat Representative Bloom of New York. Mr. Bloom was given his seat as the choice of the voters of his district It should be withheld only upon technicalities affecting the count; only by excuses rather unusually brazen; only for a reason that reveals Republican demoralization and lack of confidence. To attempt to throw him out otherwise is beneath the dignity of a President of the United States, a rather dirty piece of business, and certainly not a trump card. Thanks to the gods of oppression, the Negro is learning the futility of pleading for a chance, a square deal. He is learning that, in our competitive syftem of the survival of the fittest, a chance, a fair deal, comes only as a result of work. Had Harry T. Burleigh only pleaded and begged for a chance, he would not have had the pleasure of celebrating his thirtieth year of service as baritone soloist for St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church, perhaps the richest and most fashionable congregation in the country, nor would he have to his credit two hundred and fifty or more musical compositions, some of which have national and international reputation. Prayer will get you bread when you do not need it, but it takes physical and mental prowess to get it when you are hungry. Work, brother, work. You now have before you a grim chance to secure a foothold upon the ladder which leads to the heavenly abode known as "Ful Opportunity." Secure some compensation as a semi-blessing for your years of toil before the lash and the baying blood-hounds. Work. Howard Alumni Determined Dr. Durkee's alleged assault upon Prof. Turner, together with his general policy of oppression and repression, is declared by influential alumni to be sufficient ground for a nation-wide movement to change conditions at Howard. They go further. They say that a change must be had at once, or Howard will assuredly lose her place as an institution for training colored youth for leadership. For, says an alumnus who is keenly alive to Howard's best interest; "Already the morale of our beloved Alma Mater is astonishingly low. It must take heroic effort on the part of our students to remain manly and courageous in face of such a debauch of autocracy, sycophancy and toydism." "If conditions continue thus," it is declared, "parents who wish their children to be trained for truly useful lives will have to send them to a more congenial clime." Ace riding to versions of the Alumni, the hottie condition on the hill is intensified by Dr. Durkee's attempt to run the Alumni end of the University. There seems to be a justifiable feeling of bitterness against the administration's conduct of the Alumni's nomination of representatives on the Board of Trustees. It is claimed that E. B. Smith, the man whom Dr. Durkee had appointed as alumni secretary, is campaigning for Dr. Murray of New York who is generally known as Dr. Durkee's choice for alumni Trustee. Worse still, are the methods alleged to be employed. Men who voted for Miller, Wood and Woodson, the choice of the alumni when the latter conducted their nomination, and who also voted for them in the primary of last month, claim that no final ballots have been sent them; whereas men who have never studied at Howard have received such ballots. Howard alumni throughout the country seem to be in a belligerent mood. They say that they are not going to be treated as children or out-casts any longer; that they are going to be heard and respected. GLORIA SWANSON in "A SOCIETY SCANDAL at the REPUBLIC Gloria Swanson in her latest Parramount picture, "A Society Scandal," will be the attraction at the Republic Theatre beginning Easter Sunday, April 20th for an entire week. Aside from Miss Swanson's acting, which even excels her work in "The Humming Bird," she offers in her latest picture a display of gowns that will stun your beauty. Miss Swanson never wears a gown a second time in a picture. She has the largest wardrobe of any star on the screen today. "A Society Scandal" was directed by Allan Dwan—the man who made "Robin Hood." Its star cast supporting Miss Swanson includes Rod La Rocque—seen last at the Republic in "Don't Call It Love" with Nita Naldi. Ricardo Cortez, Allan Simpson, Yvonne Hughes and many others. It is teh story of a society girl who marries a war hero, only to discover that his drab stupidity is well nigh unbearable, so she turns to a man of winning personality, but of a shady social status, who involves her in a semidal that results in her divorce, despite her innocence. A. Russell Wiseley, the director of E. W. BUNDY Funeral Director 649 FLORIDA AVE., N. W.

For the first time beginning Sunday, April 27th, the Republic is presenting a picture founded on a sensational theme. In the past the Republic has refused to run sensational pictures but because this picture deals fearlessly with the greatest problem of every home today, we believe it will do world of good. The picture is entitled "Daughters of Today." It tells a story you'll never forget about the daughter of today—her liberties and her new freedom. The picture was secured at great expense. In those cities when it has played it has attracted larger crowds than the theatres could accommodate. We are sure you will compliment us on our enterprise in presenting this most unusual attraction. "FOLLOW ME" NEW MUSICAL COMEDY OPENS AT HOWARD Mirth and melody seem to be the main features of the 1924 edition of "Follow Me", the clever colored musical extravanganza that will be the attraction at the Howard theatre commencing Sunday Eve., April 20th, with Matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and Special Midnight Show Friday. Judging from the names included in the large east' of principals, one finds the names of Billy Higgins and Cliff Ross, two of the best comedians in colored theatrical entertainment Here also are the names of Ernest Whitman, a clever actor and a tenor of no mean ability.

BEATRICE OR "BEA" Dear Little "Bea.", I am sincerely hoping that you will not be disappointed Easter. The letter that you wrote to your sister was sent to me. There being no address in your letter I could not return it to you. I have so many Beatrices on my address file that I was unable to select your address from that source.-Ed. EASTER Submitted by Magdalen Pye (14) Easter Sunday was formerly called the "Sunday of Joy," and, like many other festival days, which have come down to us from earlier times, has been changed from its original character to a religious observance, and is now the festival of the resurrection of Our Lord. The Easter festival in very early days was introduced by fasting on one day only—the Friday before, known as Good Friday—and the night preceding was devoted to prayer and thanksgiving until the time that the cock crows, which the people believed to be the moment of Christ's resurrection. The early Christians on Easter morning greeted each other with "Christ is risen," to which the person addressed naswered, "Christ hath risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon . . . There were superstitions connected with the day which were very strange and unaccountable. One of these was the preparing of "cramp-rings," consecrated by the king and held sacred as a cure for the cramps of suffering subjects. A number of rings were placed in a silver basin, on the floor of the chapel, near a cushion, on which rested a crucifix. A piece of carpet was spread in front of the cushion, and the king knelt down, crept along on his hands and knees, in token of his humility to the crucifix. Here with his almoner kneeling beside him, he made his prayer, blessed the rings and retired. If men would have good luck, all fires must be put out on Easter Eve, and lighted afresh from flint and steel. This was thought to be a special protection against lightning strokes, as well as being an inducer of general good luck. WHO ROSE TODAY Submitted by Mary Wedge (14) He stooped to pray for us; New pathse did lay for us, And great price pay for us, Who rose today. O wild flowers, play for him, O song birds, stay for him And men' shearts pray for him Who rose today. He showed His love for us, He suffered woe for us, To death did go for us— Who rose today. White lilies blow for Him, Sweet waters, flow for Him, And men's souls, glow for Him Who rose today. --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1924 OUR LETTER BOX PRIZES FOR BEST LETTERS LETTERS OBSERVE THIS Write all communications plainly; write on one side of paper; give name, age, address, school, and school class.

National Stars at Howard Meet National Stars at Howard Meet (Continued from page 4) dented leap of 25 ft. 3 in. in the Oxford-Cambridge vs. Harvard-Yale Dual Meet on July 23rd, 1921. The record for this event, 24 ft. 11 3-4 in. held by T. O'Connor of Ireland, had withstood the attack of time for twenty-one years. Incidentally, Gourdin won the 100-yard dash at this same meet by beating Abraham, the great all-around athlete of Cambridge University, England. He did not hang up his shoes after this meet, but entered a new field, namely the all-round competition.

Tibbs, conductor, appeared under the auspices of the Atlantic City Y. M. C. A., in a brilliant program at the famous Young's Pier before an audience of about 3500 people. Bernard Walton was the accompanist. The Governor of the State purchased five tickets to the entertainment. H. U. Orchestra to Play The following program will be rendered by the Howard University Student Orchestra, Dorey T. Rhodes, Director, and Wesley I. Howard, associate director, on Easter Monday, April 21, at eight thirty p.m. at the Dunbar High School: I. Symphony G Minor, W. A. Mozart; II Violin Concerto, Symphonie Espagnole, Edouard Lalo, Prof. Wesley I. Howard; III (a) Enchanted Forest, Philip Spitalny, (b) To a Wild Rose, Edward McDowell; IV. Overture Edmont, Beethoven. The Howard Players under the direction of Montgomery Gregory will present "Matinata," a one-act play by Langner. A reception will follow the program. The joint affair is given under the auspices of the Community Center Department, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, director. Particular attention is called to the Symphony by Mozart which, by all means, you should hear rendered by those young colored performers as an extraordinary effort directed by that genius, Dorey Rhodes. It is uncommon for our colored orchestras to produce such large works. The imitable Wesley Howard will play Lalo's violin concerta, a profound and deeply technical composition which the ordinary violin player shuns. Go hear this young master to whom technique appears common place, with a trained orchestra supporting him as soloist. Local music lovers and especially the "folks on the hill" failed to appreciate the efforts of the Howard Band in concert recently given at Dunbar. Shall that meagre interest repeat itself? Don't you Howard teachers and students appreciate your own "boys"? Don't local concert-goers think more of struggling Negro talent than that manifested in the other concert? We hope that you all will give a more tangible evidence of race pride and love of music to that ambitious student music organization on Easter Monday evening, giving them the courtesy of your presence and personal appreciation. Thanks. One by one colored musicians are coming into their own. Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, vocalist, sang to advantage over the radio one afternoon of this week. Mme. Cole-Talbret Coming Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, celebrated coloratura soprano, will appear in recital at John Wesley Church Monday evening, April 28, under the auspices of Prince Hall Chapter, No 5, O.E.S., Josephine L.

This event includes the 100-yard dash; 1 mile run; broad jump; javelin throw; and discus throw. He is also formidable in the decathlon event. Sport fans will be treated with an event worth going miles to see when Gourdin matches speed and stamina against Charles West, W, and J. athlete who won the Intercollegiate pentathlon championship at the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival last year. A digest of West's career will appear in next week's issue. The St. Cyprian Preps won the East Washington basketball championship Wednesday night, by defeating the Manchester, 18 to 6. The temptoy of winners featured the game. Gordon Dorsey and the 95-pound Berry were the outstanding players. Coach Martin's Va. Union University diamond stars promise to cut quite a figure in deciding the C. I. A. A. baseball championship. Captain Adams is showing his usual form at second. Third will be taken care of by the hard-hitting Boffman. In Shields, Coach Martin believes he has the best shortstop since the days of Henry Hucles, Jackson, a Texas left-hander is covering the initial sack, Washington and Brown are a clever pair of catchers, while Edgar, Barksdale and Gregory will form the first-string outfield. Gregory has been shifted from first-base to fill the gap left vacant by the graduation of excaptain Branch. Merritt, generally regarded as the king of the C. I. A. A. pitchers, is ready for a big year. Other promising members of the staff are Whitaker, Williams and Iey. Hank Corrothers on Team The Panthers are expected to make a bigger impression on the track this year than ever. Captain Cook has been entered in the 100 and 220-yard dishes at the Penn Relays. The relay team will be composed of Lightfoot, Jackson, "Hank" Corrothers, (Washington boy and former Dunbar star) and Cook. The Jackson brothers are showing ability. One of them made quite a name while performing for the Bordentown track team. Other likely looking candidates for the track team are, Allen, Weeks, Howard, Moten, Liggen and Davis.

One shudders to think of the future of the youth of our city when it is realized that parents encourage Keir children tobe disrespectful ‘and in- subordinate to their teachers and “elders. The lot of a public school teacher is by no means a pleasant one, when, in their effort to discipline our youth they-are forced to defend themselves against personal assault, by the par- ents, in whose interest they are work- ing. It our public schools are to reach the high standard of efficiency, so much to be desired, there must be discipline; and the teachers are the logical ones to enforce it. It is, there- fore, the duty of every parent to co- operate with the teachers, in their effort to maintain discipline, without which no school can properly function, and no community is safe. In the last analysis the child suffer: the greatest loss, he loses the oppor. tunity t0~Secure an education, an¢ because of lack of restraint loses al respect for law and order, and he o she becomes a menace to society anc finally takes his place in some pena institution when he is forced to ac cept measures of discipline, in afte: years, which his parents so diligently sought to prevent when he or shi was a ajlid, The wisest of all authorities ot child life makes two- very pertinen observations which should. commen: themselves to every parent, namely “Train up a child in the way he shoul: go und when he is old he will not de patt from it.” And “Spare the roi sind spoil the child.” BYRON HOPKINS, Sr Oa Monday, April 7, the wife o!
