CURTIS CASE ARGUED BEFORE COURT OF APPEALS First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3. No. 45 COURT IS ASKED TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION COURT IS ASKED TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION Residential Segregation will Result if Whites are Victorious The case of Curtis vs. Buckly which involves the injunction brought against the Curtis's preventing them from purchasing property in the 1700 block of S Street, Northwest, came up in the court of Appeals here this week. The case was argued by Attorney Jas. A. Cobb for the Curtises and Atty. J. Easby Smith for the Buckleys. The justice sitting on the bench were, Mr. Justice Robb, Mr. Justice Van Orsdel; and Judge Barber of the U. S. Court of Cutsom Appeals, who is sitting until a Justice can be appointed to the place made vacant by death of Mr. Justice Smythe. Attorney Cobb based his arguments on the ground that the covenants entered into by a number of whites to prevent the selling of property to Negroes, was contrary to the constitution of the United States, and against public policy in the District of Columbia. The case was taken under advisement by the Justices. No indication was made as to when the decision will be handed down. N. J. Republicans Seek to Elect Delegate Newark, N. J.,—With the largest and most representative attendance that has ever been present at a political meeting in New Jersey, the Douglass Republican Club of Orange and the Colored Republican Club of East Orange, held a pre-primary rally on Monday evening, April 14, in Orange. This meeting was held in the interest of the candidates pledged to President Coolidge and nomination to the office that he now holds. Resolutions were passed, pledging the clubs and those present to work both for the nomination and election of Calvin Coolidge. The principle speaker of the evening was Ex-Governor E. C. Stokes. Others who spoke were Mrs. Bessie Mention, president of the Colored Women's Republican Conference of New Jersey; Col. Robert J. Foster, president of the First-Coolidge-for-President-Club and Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, candidate for Delegate-at-large. Dr. Walter G. Alexander, candidate for Alternate-at-large, presided. There is great enthusiasm among the colored Republicans of the State over the selection of Dr. Cannon and Dr. Alexander for delegate and alternate, respectively, to the Republican Convention at Cleveland. This is the first time that this honor has been accorded to representatives of the race in this State, and it is the first time that any colored man has been selected as delegate in any northern or western State. MEMBERS OF 24TH INFANTRY TO HAVE SENTENCES COMMUTED According to an announcement made by Secretary of War, Weeks, this week, thirty members of the 24th Infantry, now confined in Leavenworth prison, will have their sentences commuted.

This commission personally interviewed every prisoner and made an individual report in each case. The Washington Tribune Published Weekly Head of U. N. I. A. in Liberia Executed Monrovia, Liberia, (Special dispatch)—According to the Liberian press, Milton J. Marshall, founder of the U. N. I. A. in Liberia was executed February 22nd. The cause of the execution of Mr. Marshall was not made known. According to the Liberian press the delegates of the U. N. I. A. who visited that country in February, sailed without having an official interview with President King, however, they were given an unofficial interview with the understanding that the Government of Liberia did not welcome the U. N. I. A.'s plan of immigration to Liberia. The Government refused to allot for immigration purposes, any land in Liberia. The Liberian Government is somewhat divided over the question of the U. N. I. A. The Chief Justice is a supporter of the improvement, while President King is bitterly opposed to it. W.E.B. DuBois To Talk Here on Trip to Africa W.E.B.

The feature of the Drive Campaign will be accentuated by the appearance of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, Thursday evening, May 1, at the Metropolitan A. M. E.

The impending residential segregation, which was 'argued before the Court of Appeals this week has interested the Colored People of Washington in a way that is second only to the rioting of 1918. The ministers of the city have voluntarily communicated with the Executive Secretary, expressing their deep sense of obligation and promising to see that their congregations turn out to the Mass Meeting of the N.

SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 Over 200 Members Dropped From Church Alumni Balloting Ends April 29 The balloting for the alumni representative on the Board of Trustees of Howard will close April 29th, according to an announcement made this week. The final ballots have been mailed to all members of the alumni. Although the time is short, the committee is yet able to supply any local alumnus with a ballot who has not received one and desires to vote in the election. Such a ballot may be secured from the office of the Alumni and Field Secretary at the University. Officers kept Very Poor Records. Stockholders will meet again. The stockholders of the Whitelaw Hotel met last Friday in the Pythian Building to hear the report of the special committee appointed last February to audit the books of accounts of the Corporation. The committee was composed of Mr. A. W. Mitchell, chairman, Mr. John R. Hawkins, Mr. John T. Risher, Mr. Jesse J. Porter and Dr. Carroll A. Brooks. The committee made a thorough investigation and their report states that the books of the corporation were kept in a very indifferent sort of way, and that the Committee found no books covering the whole of the corporation's accounts; that each office kept its own books in its own way. Many transactions involving many thousands of dollars were never entered on the books at all, the Committee's report further states. Although the corporation had a paid secretary and treasurer, these offices, according to the committee's report, never made any financial statement showing conditions of the corporation. The committee's report further shows that the corporation has outstanding, an indebtedness sof $156,857.0S. Of this amount, $127,089.58 is secured by various trusts on the property, while the balance of $28,958.50 represents open accounts unsecured. This unsecured amount is owned to nearly fifty individuals and Banks. These amounts range from $50,00 to $2,900. The committee states that it was unable to report the amount of the equipment in the hotel as Mr. Murray, the manager, told them no inventory of the equipment had been kept during his management. At the time the hotel was opened, it was stocked with the best equipment on the market from the kitchen to the porter. Many thousands of dollars worth of this equipment is now apparently not on hand. The affairs of the corporation have been managed by various men from time to time, including John W. Lewis, the corporation's president; C. S. Lee its secretary and L. E. Murray, the present manager of the Hotel. The report shows that the rentals from the hotel alone for three years were as follows: 1921—$6,912.64; 1922—$17,455.32; and 1923—$19,051.08; while the rents from the apartments in the Hotel building which were handled by C. S. Lee, are to be added to these amounts. Mr. Lee, the report states, put in and checked out this money under his own supervision. In addition to the trusts on the property reported by the committee, it was authoritatively stated that, other trusts are outstanding from which the corporation has not received any money. One such trust alleged by a member of the committee to be in existence is held by Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General. As the committee could find no trace of the money coming from the alleged trust, this member states that it has given rise of the question in Attorney Houston Accused of Making Deal To Remain On School Board The National Race Congress Convenes Here Next Week The National Race Congress Convenes Here Next Week The appointment of a member of the School Board for the term which expires June 1st is causing much interest among local organizations. Already a number of names have been suggested for the place now held by Attorney William L. Houston. Mr. Houston's candidacy for reappointment is seemingly meeting with much opposition. It is charged that in order of split the fight against Mr. Houston, the candidacy of Mortimer M. Harris, which appears last week to have been progressing rapidly, was suddenly halted by an alleged agreement, said to have been engendered by friends of Mr. Houston, whereby Harris was to cease his fight for appointment and do the "Henry Ford act" by endorsing the candidacy of Houston. The appointment of a teacher of interest to Mr. Harris is also understood to have been involved in the Everything is in readiness for the convening here next week of the National Race Congress, which session undertaken by this organization. The committee on arrangements has made ample provisions to accommodate the many delegates expected to come from the states. Constructive Program It is said by many leaders that the program adopted for this session transcends in importance any previously undertaken by our organizations. The general propositions are interracial relationship and enforcement of the amendments to the United States Constitution, stressing the two that are perhaps more openly violated and flaunted by certain sections, to the detriment of the Negro race. In these two propositions are interwoven the fibre of intelligence and racial good will, and upon them hangs the solution of all social, political and industrial problems adverse to Negro welfare and otherwise inimical to public and domestic tranquility and understanding. Impartial enforcement of the Constitution will in truth give each citizen a place in the general scheme of things according to worth and ability rather than race or color. But not until the acquisition of proper information about itself, thus creating a deeper sense of self-consciousness and a determination that has been lacking in the masses and developing the dynamic within, will the Negro race come into its own? In addition to U. S. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, who will address the Race Congress, Wednesday night, April 30. Representatives Tinkham and Dallinger, Mass., and Celler of New York are also on the program for this session. **Women and Veteran Sessions** As a just recognition of the faithful work done along this line by the women of our group, Thursday afternoon is designated Women's day. It is thought that inasmuch as the women of the land have been enfranchised by the federal government, the Race Congress should be no less disposed to show them proper recognition. The sessions have been further di- the minds of a number of stock- holders as to whether all of the reported trust sre really genuine. As the last meeting did not complete the work of the committee,an adjourn- ment was taken until Thursday night May 1st. At this time the validity of many of the trusts will probably be questioned, according to the opinion of the committee. It is this sort of trickery and bargaining for membership on the board as well as appointments in the schools, that the parents of the District of Columbia, are trying to get rid of. The demand is now being made for the improvement of these conditions on the Board of Education and in the system. The candidacy of Attorney Charles S. Hill, president of the Parents' League, an organization composed of a majority of parents in the District is now being pushed by his friends, Attorney Hill is well known in civic and fraternal circles of the city. Attorney Hill's candidacy according to those sponsoring it meets the demands of the public for a board member who is subject to some civic body for his conduct. The coldness of board members to the public in the past has caused much discontent. Race Congress re Next Week vided to allow the Colored Veterans the chance requested by them to show their interest in racial uplift and welfare. They have been given a place on the program for the first day, April 30, and upon their request and unanimous endorsement, the assent of Chapain Scott to be present at their hour and say a word has been obtained. To Visit White House Officers of the Congress have been notified that President Coolidge will receive a delegation from it at 12:30 o'clock, May 1. Just what this delegation will lay before the Chief Executive cannot be known at this time, but it is said that a matter of very vital importance to the Negro American will be submitted. Special invitations have been sent out to editors of the leading Negro papers throughout the country, foreboding, one of the most relentless publicity campaigns against wrong and duplicity that has ever been waged by our group. The National Information and Service Bureau will be opened here at this session.

But among the intricate mass of machinery set into motion by the generative power of that coal fed furnace is a little glass tube so mounted as to show the level of the water in the furnace water compartment. Small and inobtrusive, this piece of mechanism is most important as it is the indicator and guard over the most potent force in the component machine. It is the "guage" and upon its correct operation and indication depends the safety of the lives of passengers and crew. Life Insurance has a dual gauge (Continued on page 3) Jim Crow Bathing Beach Here Opposed Office: 920 U St., N.W. R T O F A From Ch Pass Presented to President Coolidge Manager Ben. H.

The hope is expressed that President Coolidge will attend one of the League games during the summer months. NEGRO VOTE IS NOT SAFE TO G. O. P. Race is showing Disposition to Weigh Measures (By Ike Murray) A national party lining up for perhaps one of the fiercest battles ever waged within its own ranks, to decide whether the present incumbent, now in the White House, is entitled to succeed himself or be replaced by some other favorite son, as the time rolls round for re-election, when its convention meets next June, rumblings of discontent are heard far and near from the folks at home in the various Republican voting precincts, claiming that party pledges somehow or other in most cases have been broken and a new reckoning must be had. Everybody is interested and wants to know at least which way the tide's drifting. Most everywhere—those, who know the "ins" and "outs" of the political situation, do not hesitate to predict, that the fight for the G. O. P. to keep in power the next four years will not be a walk over especially if the Colored voters of the country have their inning and score with the opposite side. Members of the old guard, who have weathered many a gale and managed to keep the good old ship afloat during such stormy voyages, gravely confess that they are somewhat puzzled and admit that the task to remain at the helm will be most difficult and will require the most exacting tact. Colored voters in nearly every section are taking notes cautiously, giving close study of those running on the National ticket, so as to be thoroughly informed, concerning the qualifications of the various candidates, regardless of party, when they go to the polls next November to cast their ballots. Bits of gossip gathered at parlor-held conferences seem to indicate that the Colored voters are looking over the field carefully and will not be caught mapping, when the country demands of them next election day how they stand on the political question. Jim Crow Bat Beach (By Ike Murray) Again the separate bathing beach question for colored citizens is being considered, this time for a spot, somewhere near Bennings, Northeast, on the banks of the Eastern Branch, a location in every detail, ideal for such an undertaking. The advocates are citizens, who feel that a half loaf in this direction is just the thing regardless of any intrinsic loss in the way of self concerning dignity, that might befall the Race. No argument to them seems more convincing; no plans better laid. The place offers flattering inducements, they say, and has many natural advantages. The idea, indeed pleasing, is in some Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents PPEALS hurch Roll MORE TROUBLE AT FLORIDA AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH Pastor tells Members he is used to going to Court now News of the kindling of old fire has just come to light at Florida Avenue Baptist Church. In a business meeting of the church on January 18, on the recommendation of the Pastor, Rev. W. A. Taylor, 231 members who supported an ouster proceeding two years ago to have the pulpit of the REV. W. G. TAYLOR Fla. Ave., Baptist Church, declared vacant, were excommunicated from the church. Trustees Lynwood Turner, Drew, and church clerk Hooper vigorously opposed the action on "principle" and, before the matter was finally settled, succeeded in a motion to call the aforesaid members before the Deacon Board for a hearing precedent, to their dismissal. Angered at this expression of reason and fair play the pastor it is alleged immediately left the presiding chair, placing Deacon Lindsay Jones therein. He then took the floor and in an impassioned and fighting speech, flayed the members in question. He imputed cowardice to the opposing officers, and demanded the immediate dismissal of the aforesaid members and offered to borrow money if necessary to defend possible court action should such result from that action. This oration was not without effect. Major Towles answered with a motion that the members be excommunicated from the church, and by a small majority, 231 members were dismissed. After this had been accomplished, Rev. Taylor, resumed the presiding chair, until the meeting ended. thing Here Opposed respects, illuminating, but lacks the proper avoi duropu necessary to put the proposition in the ranks of good conservative judgment, when the equality of a decent people is exposed to general embarrassment. The establishment of a separate municipal bathing beach for colored citizens of the District, a dangerous precedent, has not the approval of public spirited opinion and is a form of segregation, if allowed to go unchallenged, will very likely encourage the government in its mad rush for unusual novelties, to extend such a policy to the other branches under federal supervision. A strong fight will be made against placing the bathing beach anywhere except on the Tidal Basin. --- LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO TPP Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

He was. also a mem- ber of the varsity crew. : Led by Harry Wills the boxing colony of New York has responded to the call for aid for Sam Langford, veteran light heavyweight, who is threat- ened with complete loss of eye sight.

EARL BROWNS WILDNESS COSTS, HARVARD, GAME Earl Brown, former citizen of Alexandria and star athlete at Howard University in 1918-19, now mainstay of the Harvard pitching staff was sent to the mound against Columbia University in New York, Saturday and but for his own wildness might have escaped with a victory. While Brown allowed but four hits he walked four men and hit two men. His support was also faulty. Columbia scored one run in the first inning after two were out and came back in the fourth to count four times, after two were down. Brown was taken out in the fourth when he went "up" after two errors were made behind him. The Columbia pitcher went the entire route and blanked the Crimson, 5 to 0. Brown has already pitched Harvard to a couple of victories this season. He was left in New York when Harvard made the trip here last week to meet Georgetown, Catholic University and New HUBBARD MAKES BID FOR BROADJUMP RECORD Dehart Hubbard, sensational track and field athlete of the University of Michigan and certain member of the Olympic team, demonstrated that he is out to capture the world's broad-jump record now held by Ned Gourdin when he leaped 25 ft. 2 5-8 inches in an exhibition. Saturday. Hubbard's jump was within 3-8 of an inch of the record. GLENDALLE ALL-STARS WIN With a good attendance the baseball season in the Northeast section of the city opened Sunday, with the Glendale All-Stars trimming Burrville, 8 to 7. Jenifer's carried off batting honors for Burrville while Mitchell led with the stick for the winners. Griffith contributed a spectacular catch. The batteries were, Wilson and Wood for Glendale and Jenifer, Triplett and Pogue for Burrville. HONOR CHRIS HUISWOUD WITH GOLD MEDAL Chris (Dutch) Huiswoud, famous New York basketball referee received a gold medal for his splendid work as an official in the New York basketball league. The presentation was made at a dinner at the Hotel Madison Square. Huiswoud's services have not alone been in demand in New York but other cities as well. One of his many trips was made to this city to handle the Omega-Alpha game. VETERANS BUREAU NINE OUT FOR LEGUE TITLE Not satisfied with having finished in the runner-up berth behind the Treasury team in their initial year in the Departmental League, the Veterans Bureau team is out to annex the league title this year. Manager Cole has had a score or more candidates working out under his watchful eye for two weeks. As the League allows a certain number of players not connected with the Bureau, the best talent obtainable has been gotten. The pitching staff headed by George "Babe" Adams, of the Ledroit Tigers and George Taylor, Walker, and Harrison Parker, is the best in the league. Clark and Mason will do the catching. The infield combination of Gibson, Moten, Johnson and Boone is conceded a slight edge over Jordon, Neale, Jackson and Milton, but one or two of the latter group may win a berth. The last year's outfield, composed of Fauntroy, Dry and Morris will quite likely remain intact although Barnes is making a stubborn fight for Morris' job. The team possesses hitting, fielding an ditching strength, and looms as a formidable pennant contender. Roster of Eastern WASHINGTON POTOMACS—Joe Goodrich, Geo. Shively, Manager Ben H.

I'LL JUST PARK HERE AN' WAIT FOR A CUSTOMER TO COME IN! LAST WEEK'S MEAT V2 PRICE Theo, "Tiger" Flowers, the sensational colored middleweight champion, of Atlanta, Ga., has just about fought his way out of a job at his chosen profession, boxing. Since his recent defeat of the rugged Lee Anderson, heavyweight, in New York the numerous promoters of the country who wish to stage Flowers at their club are unable to induce any of the well-known middle and light-heavies to meet the "Tiger." Walk Miller, well-known Southern promoter and manager who developed the "Tiger" has come out with a unique offer to Harry Greb and Mike McTigue who are the present world's champions in the middle and light-heavy classes. Miller agrees to take either of the above-named champions in a no-decision or a decision match of twelve rounds and will forfeit the share of the receipts that the "Tiger" is to receive should Flowers fail to get the newspaper decision over either in a no-decision match, or the referee's decision in a decision bout. Flowers share of the purse to be given to some worthy charitable institution to be chosen by the promoter of the match. Miller covers more territory in a match against Mike McTigue and agrees to forfeit Flowers' purse to charity if the "Tiger" does not knock-out McTigue in the scheduled number of twelve rounds. Many of the best known fight critics of the world, such as Thacher, Hy Schneider, Frank Menke, Ray Bronson, Ollie Pecord and numerous others have expressed the opinion after seeing the "Tiger" in action that he was the greatest middleweight boxer of a decade and should defeat any of the present-day fighters. Such well-known men as Jeff Smith, Happy Littleton, Curley Smith, Panama Joe Gans, Paul Berlenbach, Jack Delaney and many others have flatly turned down offers to the "Tiger." COACH LOUIS L.

Sent from that for the other, which is easier reason of the separation of the classes in the colleges of our country. The result of the recent primary election in the State of Illinois presents a few lessons for the political observer. Six Negroes were nominated for State positions, but the one running for the United States Congress from the first district was defeated. The surprising fact in the matter is the lack of support of the colored papers of Chicago for Attorney Nathan Taylor who ran against Martin B. Madden for Congress. The Defender, The Whip, and The Enterprise failed to render the service to the colored man that you would expect from race papers, especially when they play up the race end in other matters. The Enterprise gave Mr. Taylor more support than The Defender or The Whip. We must have race men in Congress and our newspapers must support these candidates. When it comes to portraying crime and scandal of the race both The Defender and The Whip are there in the largest red headlines that they can print. When it comes to rendering the race a real service and justifying their support by the race, both papers failed the race miserably. The backing of Mr. Taylor for Congress and the continued support of his candidacy by The Defender and The Whip, as well as The Enterprise was a service that the race had a perfect right to expect from these papers. The election of Mr. Taylor to the United States Congress, instead of Martin B. Madden, would have been one of the greatest victories that the Negro could have won in the coming November election. The race is without a colored man in the United States Congress and the first district of Chicago offered the opportunity. But lo, and behold, the supposed race papers deserted the race candidate for the white man solely because Rpublican party controls those papers. Negro newspapers that headline crime and scandal to the exclusion of other news, are greater enemies of the race than the most rabid Southern white paper. The white paper in headlining Negro crime is carrying out its principles of race prejudice, while the Negro paper that does it, is a traitor and hypocrite. The Chicago Defender has the largest circulation of any colored paper in this country. It is sold on more white news-stands than any other colored paper and is no doubt read by more white people than all the rest of the colored papers. It is not fair to the race for The Defender, as the exponent of the race, to headline and print practically all of its front page in crime and scandals. The Defender is not true to the race which it is supposed to portray the better side of, and to defend against all adverse influences. On the contrary it carries an awful indictment against the race every time it is issued with those flaming headlines of crime and scandal. Back to the elections. The fact that six Negoes were nominated for state positions, some for the State legislature, and the fact that Mr. Taylor, though defeated made a good showing in the primary, demonstrates that while the supposed Negro leaders in Chicago, along with the newspapers failed the race in this one outstanding instance, the masses of the people are sound and true if they are properly led. There is among leaders too much of the spirit of "I can't, you shan't" in Chicago, coupled with the proverbial subserviency to the white man. Mr. Madden remained in Washington, and the Negro leaders in Chicago would rather nominate him than a colored man who was there on the ground. It is impossible for Mr. Madden to represent the Negroes of the first district of Chicago as well as a Negro from that District could represent them. Then, consider the inspiration it would be to the race all over this country for the first district of Chicago to assert its rights and send a race representative to Washington. "SEPARATE SCHOOLS" NOT DEBATABLE It is seldom that a live, sensible or logical subject is selected for a debate between schools or colleges. It is indeed unfortunate that it was left to Howard and Atlanta Universities two of our leading schools, to select the most illogical and harmful subject for their debate this year that could possibly have been selected. The untimely subject for this debate is: "Resolved: That separate schools should be established in the North for Negroes in cities with large populations." Segregation in schools is gradually advancing Northward and should not be augmented by our leading universities' propaganda. While it seems to be a concerted effort of the larger universities of the North to exclude colored students, our colored universities certainly should not support in the least or encourage such propaganda by contenancing a debate on the subject. There are many reasons why mixed schools should be preserved and why separate schools should be abolished. In the first place separate schools, like separate cars, separate toilets, and the like, are made separate on the theory that the people of color are an inferior people—whose contact is dangerous either to the health or morals of the white class. This is the foundation of separation (or better termed "Jim Crow") movements; and we should not allow ourselves for the sake of a few paltry positions to accept this principle. In the second place: accepting the oft repeated theory as being true, that the white peoples are more cultured, better trained, and more intellectual than our group, makes our desire and demand for contact more important: for we can benefit by such joint training. And a further reason why we should forever preserve our mixed institutions is the knowledge brought home to the white youth of our land that the colored boy is as capable of acquiring culture and education as is he—for thru his daily contact in the class room and in the various competitions in the schools he is. Then there is danger in having a character of education for one often excelled by his black brother across the aisle. group different from that for the other, which is easily made possible by reason of the separation of the classes in the school systems and colleges of our country.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 SOMETHING OF INTEREST By I. L. PARKER A Message of Comfort. . Boost The Washington Potomacs. . Woman Explorer Pays Tribute to Haiti Republic. From every walk of life, dressed in overalls or the finest fabrics, disheartened or filled with the spirit of of the day, came men, women, and children to hear retold, the old, old story of the Resurrected Christ. They came to see, in their imagination, their hopes of the triumph of Christ and of His acceptance by the people raised high by the acclamation of t h e children to hear re-told, the old, old story of the Resurrected Christ. They came to see, in their imagination, their hopes of the triumph of Christ and of His acceptance by the people raised high by the acclamation of the crowds on Easter Day; their Lord's body hanging on the cross; and, to hear His last words. "Peace be unto you." Many and varied were the lessons drawn from the picture of that little company of disheartened, distracted, and discouraged men, who gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem on the evening of the first Easter Day, had witnessed the crucifixion, stood on the edge of the crowd at Mount Calvary, and had met to discuss the future in the familiar surroundings of the upper room. They were told that Christianity is a religion founded not upon hopes nor theories, longings nor imaginations, but upon facts; that Christ was born by God's miraculous power and lived in the world among men; that His death was no sham, nor did He seek to escape the lot common to us all. However true or false this may be, we are most interested in finding a way through death. 1 Despite all the hallucinations, denials, and inabilities to explain this or that, we have nearly nineteen centuries held to the teachings of the Man who said, "Peace be unto you." Why? Because we have found that the way of the risen life, the life everlasting, is through pain and death, self sacrifice. That only that life is fitted to live eternally which finds its way through these hard experiences Self-sacrifice means not the surrender of life, but the assertion of it. To sacrifice one's life does not mean to lose one's life, but to give it in the service of some person or in the doing of God's will. For we do not lose ourselves by giving ourselves. Self-shness leads inevitably to isolation and sloss of fellowship. He who is selfish has lost the reality of life. You have accepted the gift of life, therefore, do something with it. Be not satisfied to accept life's pleasures and avoid life's responsibilities. Nor to think of life as a process of getting something for nothing. Not immortality but life everlasting is the thing infinitely better after which to yearm. You have a part to play, a most important part in the winning of life everlasting. Therefore, prove your right to live in the heavenly abodes of your God. For the first time in the history of organized Negro professional baseball, Washington is being represented. It is represented by The Washington Potomacs, an aggregate of men first of all, good baseball players filled with the spirit of finishing second to none, and second, led by the "Old Reliable" Ben Taylor, one of the best Negro brains in baseball. The "Old Reliable" Ben has a team that will win regardless. But shall we be satisfied to let it face the hardships of the diamond without our boosting and encouraging its grit and determination to win? They are like us. They are humans. They make mistakes. All teams make them. But regardless of the "breaks" of the game, let us enhance and fortify their determination to win and never to give up until the last man is put out. We have among us those who are baseball fanatics. They should appoint themselves cheer leaders and distribute themselves throughout the stands, there, demonstrate the effect organized, real, honest-to-goodness boosters can make at every game in keeping alive the fighting spirit of the Potomacs. It is something new. The Senators have been disappointing, because they were never pennant winners. This year they are out for nothing less than the pennant. So are the Potomacs. Let's show them that the Potomacs are pennant winners from the start. It is a race, a creditable one. It is a boost to the City of Washington and a credit to the race to make Washington stand out. Kicking and criticising is all right, but be sure it is done in a manner so as to fire the team with grit and courage. The Potomacs are full of it. Let us by our own enthusiasm and optimism help them to hold fast to it. With our encouragement they pledge their to win. * * * * * * Lady Dorothy Mills, explorer and society novelist, and daughter of the Earl of Oxford, after a journey to Haiti paid a tribute to its Negro Republic. She found its President a man of culture and one who spoke far better French than she. The inhabitants were not cannibals, but. Negroes among whom one finds it "extraordinarily interesting" to live "for a considerable time." She also found that they possess that psychological germ which appertains to make them "a great people." But, alas! She finds that "they lack a certain something rather hard to describe. Perhaps I might call it coherence, or concentration." Is this not also true of the American Negroes? The arts and literature of Haiti, she finds, are those of a civilized country. The offering of sacrifice is rare. The old superstitions are dying out with the spread of Roman Catholicism. Dancing is the great fad. Theatrical News WHY I WROTE "THREE WEEKS" By Elinor Gyn The famous English novelist tells the public what she had in mind in writing "Three Weeks," which was a sensational success upon its publication and which has now been made into a screen play by Goldwyn Corporation. The film version has been booked at the Lincoln Theatre for next week, beginning Sunday. As it is now more than thirteen years ago that the book "Three Weeks" was written, we can talk calmly about it, because in the beginning, and indeed for many a long day afterwards Elveos Glyps Author of Goldwyn's production of "THREE WEEKS" Distributed by Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan Pub 4 I-col the prejudice it aroused in the minds of the critics and a large section of the public, would not have permitted any discussion. However I believe now that the splendid sense of American justice will give me a fair hearing, so —you who read—please listen patient.

Because a work that has sold in its millions, and still has a circulation of about fifty thousand copies a year, must have had some effect upon humanity. It has been translated into most European languages, and from all those foreign countries I have received honor and praise for it. Only in the English-speaking communities has it been misunderstood. I wrote it for two reasons, the first being to prove the effect of a great love upon a man's character in opening his eyes to the fine in everything; the second, to explain the laws of cause and effect, and to show that each of us pays the price or receives the reward of every action committed, whether it be for good or evil. Paul was juts a young Englishman of the upper classes, of ordinary education—and of whom there were thousands before the war in every class. Circumstances, and long years of peace, had not given them the stimulant to awaken their imagination to the meaning of things. They were just dear, honest, good-looking boys, who never had speculated as to why they were on earth, nor what they were meant to accomplish there. Paul, like his prototypes, would have acted always with an inborn sense of duty, as almost every Englishman does, young or old, because of the instincts produced by hundreds of years of "playing the game" fairly. He did not do anything consciously one way or another. He was just asleep, like most of his mates. You could not have seen any British regiment marching up to the front without discovering at least one, if not ten, physical and mental Pauls in each company.

In the past the Republic has refused to run sensational pictures, but because this picture—"Daughters of Today"—deals fearlessly with the greatest problem of every home today we believe it will do a world of good. "Daughters of Today" tells a story you will never forget, is lavishly produced and has an all-star cast that for youth, beauty and nerve will remind you of the Ziegfeld Follies. Among the many high-lights in the picture is a strip poker game and a midnight bathing party. This pic PARKER'S HAIR REG U.S.P.

The cast is headed by Alice Terry, Lewis Stone and Ramon Novarro. "Scaramouche," according to advance reports from the larger cities, where it has been played as a two dollar attraction, is one of the greatest pictures in screen history. The story is laid in the time of the French Revolution and deals with the adventures of a young noble who takes the side of the people. Willis Godbeck made the screen adaptation and the photoplay was by John F. Seitz. Knights of Pythias of N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. (Operating Under Supervision of U. S.

Hopkins who is a director of the Pollyanna Club, a group of the Girl Reserves in Alexandria, Va., has written a letter to the editor suggesting that a program published in one of the Gertrude stories that appeared on this page some time ago, be republished. She says that she is sure that the new readers of the "Children's Page" would enjoy this chapter of the story. She further states that if the workers among juveniles, Sunday school, GERTRUDE'S ADVENTURES Mae Smith and Florence Evans called to see Gertrude on a warm and sultry Saturday afternoon. They were greeted with a cherry hello and being seated on the cool porch Mae made known the cause of their visit. "Gertie," she said, "you have not been to the association meeting for three weeks. Why? Well never mind, we know you've been rushed with your studies." "That is one reason," admitted Gertrude. "I am busy with my lessons, and, too, I want to interest the Girl Reserves in a series of Negro history topcis, hence I've neglected my own club meetings. But it is for a good cause." "My little sister told me of your plans," said Florence, "and knowing of them I am at a loss as to whether you can help us to carry out a plan suggested to the association." "You see," said Mae, "we want to give an entertainment in July and our studies will be over in time for us to give this affair a good deal of attention." "What kind of entertainment do you intend having?" asked Gertrude. "Purely racial," enthusiastically ascerted Florence. "You see, here is an outline: we want each recitation to be the composition of some Negro, each song or musical rendition to be the work of some Negro." "Dandy! I'm in for that," was the happy interruption from Gertrude. TRIBUNITES' PEN-NAMES Beatrice Scott: "Cherry Blossom." Thelmia E. Lane: "Rose." Laura Phillips: "Rose Bud." Thelmia Wilson: "Violet."

We are complying with the request of Mrs. Hopkins and are republishing this chapter of the story. Perhaps if Tribunites would show this program to their playground instructors, club leaders, Sunday school or school teachers, an entertainment of interest would be worked up. The editor will be glad to answer questions or to make suggestions for such a program. "Let's see—" Three busy little tongues chattered as only carefree feminine tongues can. This chattering was out of the usual scheme of feminine chatter for at the end of an hour a clever program was arranged as follows: 1. Opening chorus, "Lift Every Voice and Sing"; words by James W. Johnson, music by Rosamond Johnson. 2. "Pledge of Afro-American Youth," written by Professor Kelly Miller. (Recited in concert.) b. "In the Bottoms," both com. posed by R. Nathaniel Dett. 4. Jubilee songs arranged by Carl R. Diton: a. "Pilgrim's Song." b. "Little David, Play on Your Harp." c. "Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit." 5. Dunbar's poem, "When Sleep Comes Down to Soothe the Weary Eyes." (Recitation.) 6. James Bland's song, "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny," (Quartett.) 7. James D. Carrothers' poem, "In hte Matter of Two Men." (Recitation) 8. Mae Smith-Johnson's poem, "Grandmother." (Recitation.) 9. DeKoven Thomson's song, "Love Comes But Once." 10. A discourse on the song, "Dear Old Southland," followed by an open five-minute discussion on whether it is advisable to condemn Turner Layton for taking the tune of "Deep River" and arranging it for this song. 11. Harry T. Burleigh's spiritual, "Deep River." (Solo quartett, or chorus.) "That's a fairly presentable program," commented Florence. "Indeed so," agreed Gertrude. "Speaking of the song, 'Dear Old Southland,'" said Mae, "reminds me of the other day when Flora Watson and I went into a music store to get a record. We asked to hear 'Deep River,' and while it was being played the white salesgirl began whistling 'Dear Old Southland.' "Flora said to the salesgirl, 'What are you whistling?' 'I'm whistling what the record is playing,' she answered with a surprised look on her face. 'The name of the piece on the record is "Deep River," what you are whistling is "Dear Old Southland," informed Flora. "You should have seen the look of bewilderment on the salesgirl's face as she added: 'Don't you know I thought there was a resemblance and a difference—whatever she meant by a resemblance and a difference—in them. I've been thinking they were both the same—I'd never stopped to notice the fact that they were different pieces.' "Do you like them?' I asked her. "Yes. They're both pretty,' she answered. "Have many sales for them?' I asked her. "Quite a few for 'Dear Old Southland'; why do you ask?' asked the girl. "You may wrap those two records, I'll take them,' interrupted Flora. "Both of those selections are compositions of Negroes—', I answered. "Crash! went the records to the floor. The salesgirl grabbed an ear with- each hand and murmured, Gosh, ain't that tough? Those are the last two of those records we have in stock.' "I was glad of this opportunity to let this girl know of at least one of the race's accomplishments," concluded Mae. "I know Flora was disappointed when she found she was to be deprived of those records," chirped Florence. "No," said Mae, "We decided to try to get two Black Swan records of the pieces but we had to hurry home. We'll try to get them at Adams' Music store Monday." "Well, we must be going," said Florence, "Let's get busy with carrying out the plans as outlined in our program." After a short period of feminine chatter Mae and Florence bid Ger THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 A PRIZE LETTER Dear Editor: I am writing to tell you something about the life of Harriet Tubman. She was born on the eastern shore of Maryland, in Dorchester County, about the year of 1821. She grew very spiritual and was known nation-wide for her excellent work in the anti-slavery cause. Her grandfather was imported from Africa as a slave. Benjamin Ross and Harriet Greene were her slave parents. They named her Arminta, but she changed her christian name to Harriet. She married a man whose name was Tubman, hence her name. She rescued three of her ten brothers and sisters and her brother and father from slavery.. She took them to the North. When Harriet was but six years old she was sent to take care of a little baby where she and her mistress had quite a time for a long while. She was twenty-five years old when she decided to escape from slavery. This was the last year of Polk's administration. From time to time she rescued men, women and children from slavery. A price of $40,000 was placed for her capture. Harriet Tubman played the part of a good spy during the Civil War. Harriet played her part well in this war. She took the part of a nurse, cook and camp keeper. We owe much to her. PRIZES FOR BEST LETTERS [Name] GRANDO Are you well acquainted with the notables of your race?

SCRIPTURE READING The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7. Dear Editor: Please publish this verse: Let me live in my house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by— They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish, so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be a friend of man. I am particularly fond of this verse. Perhaps some other Triubite or Triubites will appreciate reading it. I am yours for the love of my race and for the love of all mankind. LUCILLE HARRIS (16) trude adieu and sauntered towards their homes. Needlers to say the girls made a success of the entertainment. After the war Harriet made her home in Auburn, N.Y. She died on March 10, 1913. On Friday, June 12, 1914, a tablet in her honor was unveiled at the auditorium in Albany. To my mind Harriet Tubman was one of the greatest of the race. May God bless her memory. THELMA E. LANE (13) A POEM BY REQUEST Ruth E. Waters, Rockville, Md., asks us to publish the poem "Crossing the Bar." Alfred Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" follows. And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For though from out the bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. BRUNO We want you to send in letters and tell us something concerning this man. For each letter concerning him that we publish, we will give two tickets to the movie at Dunbar Theatre. Send your letters in as soon as possible. This feature will take the place of the puzzles. OTHER PRIZE WINNERS FOR APRIL 12 We changed our prize awarding system last week.

I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams Metropolitan Baptist Choral Club The Metropolitan Baptist Church Choral Club, Robert Blackwell, director, rendered an interesting Easter musical program at the Metropolitan Baptist church, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D.D., pastor, on last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock before a large and appreciative audience.

It was an excellent presentation by the Club and Mr. Blackwell should be commended for his musical interest in their development. Queen of Sheba Chapter's Anniversary The "Queen of Sheba Chapter, No. 3. Order of the Eastern Star," Mrs. Jordan, R. M. and Dr. W. H. Jackson, R. P., presented a brief program on the 34th anniversary of the Chapter last Monday evening at the Masonic temple, southeast. Several interesting papers and readings were given by members. Musical selections, "O. Rest in the Lord" (from "Elijah") by Mrs. Addie M. Adams, mezzo-soprano, and "Consider and Heur Me" (Wooler) by Mrs. Minnie R. Powell, soprano, were pleasingly rendered on this occasion. Grand Master Ford addressed the body briefly. Dr. Jackson, P.G.M., was master of ceremonies. Following the program a delightful repast was served. St. Mary's Episcopal Church Recitals Oscar L. Mitchell, the venerable rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, 23rd street, Northwest, sponsored the series of Lenten recitals closing Friday, April 18, that were befitting the occasion, as follows: Friday, March 7, Organ Recital by Van S. 8.

Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, the Director and Organist presided over the choir's presentations. The entire series reflected great credit upon both Rector and Director and reflected the spirit of the season with due reverence to Lent. The St. Mary's choir is a wonderful aggregation of trained singers with the sweet-voiced Virginia Quivers and the Messrs. Hemby and Majors fine obligato work in bold relief, adding thereto the resonant toned Skinner Organ producing as fine effect as a musical ear can desire in ensemble. Alonzo Smalls and H. U. Glee Club Make Hit The Howard University Glee Club, Roy W. Tibbs, conductor, presented their regular program before an appreciative audience in Andrew Rankin Chapel, University Campus, Tuesday, April 22nd, at 8:30 p.m. This column has carried a comment on their work, but we may add that their ensemble possessed the finish and contour as on its former appearances.

Cobb on "Ma and the Auto" by Guest; Combs "Her Rose," obligate by Mr. Majors; "Nichavo" (Manna-Zucca) by Mr. Ragsdale, baritone soloist who gave an artistic and dramatic rendition of Paramount Records merit; and last but not least, Alonze P. Smalls in his own original composition entitled, "My Bronze Colleen," sung by Mr. Hemby. This number received merited recognition and encouragement and the author deserves special mention and congratulations.

Walton, accompanist; James B. Cobb, reader; Ernest Henry, tenor soloist; Benjamin J. Rugsdale, soloist; James B. Majors, bass soloist. First tenors: Chas R. Cephas, Shepherdstown, W.Va.; Howard D.

The consensus of ophion records the generally agreed conclusion of persons present that the orchestra appeared to splendid advantage and showed marked attainments as a whole in ensemble. The entire program was creditably rendered. Mr. Howard played in good form and was given superb support by the orchestra. Mr. Rhodes as usual proved a skillful conductor with the baton. Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Program The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Rev. Chas. E. Stewart, pastor, presented an Easter-Lenten Sunday afternoon recital, the artists were: Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, soprano and Wesley L. Howard, violinist of Howard University. Previous announcements of the recital contained the following item: "Mrs. Tibbs is recognized in the eastern states as a soprano of distinction and tone. She is now preparing for extended study in Paris where we predict the most skilled teachers will readily acclaim her. Mr. Howard is appealing, sympathetic, and never fails to make his instrument its place in the hearts of the people. He lifts you so you are better than you were before hearing him."

The National Race Congress (Continued from page one.) aving to take mp the question of Pro- portional Representation, ‘This is a subject of importance to all the people of the United States, bnt especially to the colored poputation, Proportional Representation means that every. mi nority shall have representation inthe city commell, State loxislature, or -Fed- cra} congress, in (ie same proportion it has votes among the people. As it Nnow, minorities nre practically dis Tranehised. ‘They may have the right to go to the polls and vote for some one who will not traly represent them, but they do not have any chance to tlect the representatives they want.* ‘The Race Congress proposes to have 4 thorough liseussion; of this impor tant matter. It is desired that voters, both amen and women express their views on proportional representation if hey have any views on the subject ; aml if not, they may.well look into it 1 adopted. it would mean much to thy Negro. race. White the National Race-Cougress has not taken anystamtson the matter ax yet, it is serionsly proposed by some influential menibers; that the organi- zation should recoritinend fmited action for the purpose of! securing Propor- tional Representation im the election of members of Congress. If the rvee could seenre even one member of Con: gress, how much it would mean. to them! With the aid of Proportional Representation they aight possibly elect several, ‘This system is already in use in many places, and has proved to be in practice all that was expected of it in theors. ‘The methods of casting and connting the votes, so as to make the proportional division between different parties and’ classes, are no mygstery ‘They have bem studied, and put into ase. in Europe, North Ameriva; Africa cand Ansiralia, with happy results. If Congress. will. give permixsion. fo those States to use it that choose to, many of the States deubtiess will. Colored voters in the North should make this the basis of their support of any candidate. Is he in favor of Proportional Representation? Will he try to get it for us? Of course moth- ing can be done in the South; it would be idle to agitate there; but in the North there-is a splendid opportunity. THE HOTEL DALE Cape May, N.J.—Wifteen years ago, the management of the Hotel Dale un- dertook the gigantic responsibility to submit to the traveling pnblie, the op- ‘portunity to choose as a place of abode ‘during their snmmer vacation, a first- ‘class hotel. This precedent was con- ceived in order to supplant the old ‘custom of being crowded into small lodging houses, where sanitary condi- tions, a8 a whole, were not conducive to good health. In so doing, the man- agement was confronted with numer- ous problems to insure the confidence ot the public In_general that success was attainable. | Hotel Dale is not a pictorial struct- ‘ure on paper, but is in reality, an archi- ‘tectural ediflee—a work ef art—and a momument to good taste. Eyery known device which makes for safety and comfort has been intro- duced to make this hotel as complete a place to live in as possible. ‘The rooms are light and airy, and luxuri- ously furnished and* contain every modern convenience, including suites with bath, In fac,t until one has seen the charming rooms of this palatial building it is not possible to realize the grace and elegance of the decorations, nor the lightings and furnishings. The prices for the privileges, com- forts and conveniences eannot be at- tained elsewhere for tess than one is asked to pay at Hotel Dale, Wild tales of fabalous and extortionate prices have flourished, but for the ser. vices and environments, the rates \are comparatively low; and the manage- ment who has made possible this mag- nificent hostelry, wishes it to be right- ly undertsood that every effort bas been concentrated to adjust a mint- mum rate to a maximum of service. Hotel Dale 1s owned and personally managed by Falward W. Dale, A corps of attendants who are thoroughly ex- perienced in every department, render most eflicient services to the guests without the least friction, It has been Mr. Dale's paramount aim to operate this hostelry upon # highly moral basis In order to give satisfaction in every depurtment, and at the same time to cstablish a precedent heretofore unde- veloped in racial bostefries A trip to Cape May will actually couyinee the most skeptical person that the aveomdations at this hotel are unequalled and, without the Teast ex. aggeration, is by far one of the finest exuipped Race hostelries along the At- luntic Seacoast. Estimating by the “numerous in- quiries thus far received, the manage- ment contemplates doing capacity busl- ness thls season, Hotel Dale opens May Ist and closes October Ist, Any letter-of inquiry re. grading information or resersations will have immediate attention.
