POLICE'S ACTS TERRORIZE SCHOOL SCHOOL BOARD STARTS INVESTIGATION WHILE PARENTS FILE PROTEST Douglass Park Attracting Nationwide Attention First in Local Circulation. POLICE SCHOOL BOARD INVESTIGATION PARENTS Conduct unbecoming officers of the Metropolitan Police force was the charge intimated in a letter to the Board of Education at the meeting last week by Miss Laura Arnold, principal of the Wormley school, concerning the disgraceful scenes enacted by policemen two weeks ago in their effort to drag from the school building a pupil alleged to have been guilty of a minor offense. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson a member of the Board of Education, brought up the matter at the last session of the board and after having the report of the principal read by the secretary to the board, moved that a special committee be appointed to probe the incident. Capt. Peyser, also a member of the board, insisted that the motoin be worded as to include charges to be preferred against the officers, if the case so warranted. The motion was carried and the following committee was appointed: Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Capt. Peyser and Mr. Graham. As a result of a conference with the principal of the school on Thursday of last week, Dr. Johnson gave out the following story: On the afternoon of April 5th, a bicycle officer appeared at the Wormley School and demanded of the principal that a certain boy be turned over to him as he was wanted on a charge of petty larceny. The principal said "No." The officer became very enraged and left. Shortly after, two other officers accompanied by a Sergeant entered the building and their appearance in the corridors so terrorized the children and teachers that work was suspended Douglass Park A Nation The new subdivision that is being opened over in Arlington for our people, has, in the last few days, taken on air almost national aspect. In addition to hundreds of Washington Colored citizenry who have purchased home sites out there in the last few months, requests for reservation from different parts of the country are steadily coming in. it is said. The action of a certain element of white people in this section to place doubt in the minds of our folk by publishing in a local daily, several months' age, rumors of a lawsuit against the owners of this park for selling to members of the Colored race, succeeded in having just the reverse effect. Instead of terrorizing, as was evidently calculated by such report, it merely served to advertise, for the account of the "suit" was given more conspicuous display by this daily than any other news item pertaining to the Colored park. Fortunately, and naturally, our people lack advantage of the wide publicity given this matter to make individual investigations, with the result that persons who perhaps had not been interested in this section at all had their eyes opened to the huge developments proposed and the unsurpassing beauty of this clime. Such discriminatory tactics on the part of any element of the citizenry, therefore, cannot but provoke the bitterest denunciation of all fair minded people, of whatever race or color. And this is none the less true whether such nefarious actions be prompted by racial prejudices or potential realty values—it makes no difference to victims of this brand of proscription. A prominent white minister here says that race segregation and zoning are of the devil himself, and born in hell. He argues further, that the whole order of public education in Washington is wrong, in that separate schools for the whites and Colored children inoculate an imaginary race distinction and color cast that will hardly yield to time or teaching. And that is why, as we understand it too, that The Washington Tribune CE'S A O STARTS TION WHILE S FILE PROTEST for the rest of the day. For a while, excitement ran high. Insistent demands were made by the officers to release the boy, notwithstanding, no warrant had been issued. Each time the principal stoutly refused. By this time, several other officers had arrived and planted themselves on the outside so as to catch the boy if he should attempt to escape from the building. Many of the officers were insulting in their remarks to the teachers and students. The father of the pupil, who had been notified, arrived at the building about five o'clock. The principal gave the boy over to the parent and it was when he and the child were leaving the building that one of the officers jerked the boy away and rushed him to the station house where he was held and a charge of "held for investigation" was placed against him on the station blotter. Almost simultaneously with this uncalled for outrage in the same section, other officers entered the house of another boy not far from the school and after clubbing him unmercifully, carried him to the station and lodged a trifling charge against him. This boy confessed the crime it is claimed with which the other boy was charged, thereby establishing beyond a doubt the innocence of the first boy. Dr. Johnson, who has charge of the investigation, says that Major Sullivan has the facts and with this end in view, the indication is that the police trial board may be forced to take up the issue at an early date and punish those who abused the decorum of public decency. Attracting wide Attention there is opposition in selling property to our group in certain sections of the city. The Arlington Fiasco Barring the celebrated case of Mrs. Curtis, against whom an injunction was issued by the local court restraining her from moving into a house in S Street, the Douglass Park episode proved to be one of the most interesting topics of the kind for discussion here in many moons. Colored people were following studiously every movement of those who would exclude them from a neighborhood adjoining a populous Colored residential settlement where, according to varying estimates from five hundred to two thousand citizens of color are already living. Just what all this bunk was about could not be exactly understood, except that it was talk. Perhaps one would have had less difficulty in understanding it, however if the beautiful homes in that section owned by the white people were the only reputable houses in the neighborhood. But such is not the case, not at all. In this section are some of the finest citizens of color to be found anywhere around Washington; and some of the most beautiful and splendidly appointed homes in that community are owned by them. Yet, in spite of this, we have not heard anything from the better class of white people there that would tend to show that the presence of our folk has, in any manner or degree, made the place uncomfortable or untenable. "There is a reason." Excess Values Hinted The real core of the whole situation is that this part of Arlington, which was originally a part of the District proper, holds promise of being one of the most beautiful residential sections of the national capital. The elevation of this section, particularly around that part known as Douglass Park, is a high plateau over 200 feet above the Petomac. It peers down upon the White House from a hundred-ninety feet altitude, and its prices are (Continued on page 5) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1924 Prof. A. E. MALONE Mrs. ANNIE M. MALONE MALONES'DONATE $25,000 TO ST. LOUIS Y.M.C.A. Governor of Mo. Expresses Surprise as he Inspects Plants St. Louis, Mo., Special—The largest gift ever made by Negroes to any social or philanthropic work was the $25,000 just made by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone in the $3,000,000 Building Campaign of the Y. M. C. A. of St. Louis. When this gift was announced to the Central Campaign Committee, the Metropolitan Y.M.C.A. Director stated that no single gift in the campaign so far would be as productive of results in securing large gifts from the white people as this of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. A special committee composed of the following men visited Poro College and expressed to Mrs. Malone (Mr. Malone was absent from the city) the appreciation of the entire Campaign Organization: Byron W. Moser, chairman of the Board of Directors of Y. M. C. A. of the city; L. C. Haworth, general secretary; Frank L. Williams, chairman of the Committee of Management of the Pine Street Department and principal of Summer High School; Dr. J. E. Moorland, who was largely instrumental in securing the gift; H. C. Craft, Executive Secretary of Pine Street Department; R. B. DeFrantz, Campaign Director, and C. H. Tobias, Senior Secretary Colored Men's Department of the Y. M. C. A. In response to the words of appreciation as expressed by the several members of the committee, Mrs. Malone stated "that she did not regard their money as belonging to herself and husband but as belonging to God, and that instead of seeing it draw interest in the bank they much preferred to have it draw interest in human character. She stated that every time she saw scores of colored boys congregated on the corners with few safe guards about them, she felt that there was in that a challenge to her and her husband." At a mass meeting of citizens of the Pine Street Department gymnasium the next day, Gov. Sweet, of Colorado, was present and heard a brief statement from Mrs. Malone as to why she made her gift. The governor was so much impressed that he requested to be taken to Poro College after the close of the meeting. He accompanied Mrs. Malone and a party of friends to the College where he was shown through and expressed very great surprise and delight at the magnitude and spirit of this great institution. Mr. and Mrs. Malone have been generous contributors to many organizations and welfare movements throughout the country. In 1915 they made what was then the largest contribution ever made by colored people to any organization, namely $5,000 to the building fund of the Pine Street Y.M.C.A. Since then they have made such notable contributions as $10,000. to the endowment fund of the Medical Department of Howard University. From (Continued on Page 5) Edits Daily Paper at Zion Conference Indianapolis, Ind.—One of the big features of the Annual conference of the A.M.E. Zion church which is in session here, is the publication of a daily newspaper by the staff of the Star of Zion, the official paper of the connection. The paper is published every morning and is widely circulated among the many hundred delegates attending the General Conference. Rev. W. J. Walls is the editor. THE WORKING TOOLS THE WORKING TOOLS (Written for the Federal Life Insurance Company) By Simeon Cunningham All well regulated vocations and businesses have tools peculiar to their specific ends and designed to facilitate operations within their scope. The science of Life Insurance embodies within its working mechanism technical terms which it is necessary for the reader to fix in mind just as he does the technical terms in the science of mathematics. For a detail discussion of the working of Life Insurance we commend the student to the study of the science itself as time and space does not permit more than a general network of basic principles in the remaining articles. First it will be noted that insurance may be industrial, intermediate or ordinary. Then the contract under consideration is called, in general, a Policy, specifically a Health and Accident policy; that the money paid for it is called a premium; that the person whose life is insured is called the Insured; and the person or persons to whom the Policy is payable at the death of the Insured is called the Beneficiary. These terms are in universal use in the contract, in the law and in the official reports. As we progress in our study we shall find that there are various kinds of Policies and Premiums; for our present consideration it is sufficient to know that the Health and Accident Policy is a Policy that, subject to the conditions of the contract, is in force during the life of the insured and upon which the premiums are payable weekly. We shall see, in further discussions, how the premium is determined and the value necessary to provide for the payment of benefits, expenses, taxes and contingencies is denied. No field offers a greater opportunity for the exercise of all the talents of man than Life Insurance and no Company offers a better inducement than The Federal Life Insurance Company, Incorporated. Being the baby company advancement is certain as the company grows and its growth is proportionate to the productive power of its working forces. Avail yourself of the opportunity to "get in" on the ground floor, start at the bottom and grow with The Federal Life Insurance Company, Inc., the company of service and satisfaction. JOHN R. HAWKINS JOHN R. HAWKINS REELECTED, GETS GREAT OVATION Report Shows Record Amount Handled Through Office in 12 Years Louisville, Ky., Special—Secretary John R. Hawkins reports $1,371,098.25 general fund to the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in session at Louisville, Ky., and is unanimously reelected under a suspension of the rules. The report of secretary Hawkins was the big feature of the week of the conference and when the report was concluded he was gvien an ovation such as seldom comes to man. Thousands of delegates stood cheered and marched around the hall giving vent to their feelings of appreciation over the splendid showing made and the progress shown during the past four years. The office of financial secretary is regarded as the most important office of the connection as it is the center of all the financial interests of the entire connection. Mr. Hawkins has just closed his third term of four years each and his report shows the following funds reported as general fund: first term, 1912-1916, $850,214.04; second term, 1916-1920, $1,053.679.51; third term, 1920-1924, $1,371.098.25; total for the three terms, $3,274,991.30. LOCAL DELEGATES TO CONTEST AT CLEVELAND O. Two sets of delegates will go to the Republican National Convention which meets in Cleveland, Ohio, next month.

SUBURBAN GARDENS OPEN The Suburban Gardens, billed as America's Premier Amusement resort, opened its third season, Thursday May 15th. Although the weather was cool, a fairly representative crowd journeyed out to the gardens to enjoy and inspect the many new features for their entertainment provided by the management. All of the rides were operating in full force, especially the new caterpillar ride. Many new concessions have been added to the park as well as a vaudeville feature which is sure to prove popular. GENERAL OFFICERS' REPORT SHOWS A. M. E. CHURCH IS IN GOOD CONDITION GENERAL OFFICE SHOWS A. M. IS IN GOO A. M. Es'. Elect Three Bishops Louisville, Ky., Special—In one of the most spirited contests in the history of the A.M.E. Church, three bishops were elected by the General Conference of the church now in session here. Those elected were Rev. John A. Gregg, head of Wilberforce University; Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A.M.E. Review since 1912, and Rev. A. L. Gaines, pastor of Trinity A.M.E. Church, Baltimore, Md. The General Officers elected at this writing are: D. M. Baxter, Business Manager; R. R. Wright, Editor Christian Recorder; E. H. Scott, Secretary of Missions; John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary; A. S. Jackson, Secretary of Education and J. G. Robinson, Editor of A. M. E. Review. REV. JONES ELECTED BISHOP Indianapolis, Ind.—Rev. E. D. W. Jones, pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Washington, D. C., was elected Bishop on the first ballot. Other Bishops elected were: Dr. W. J. Walls, Dr. J. W. Martin, and Dr. B. G. Shaw. Graves Cafe Is Not Closed Graves Cafe Is Not Closed Contrary to many rumors, Graves Cafe on G Street, Northwest, will be open to the hosts of Sunday dinners as usual, this Sunday, May 18th. Mr. Graves stated to a representative of The Tribune that if he is to close his place, due announcement will be made through this paper. His cafe is not closed but is still open and serving meals in the usual "Graves' style." "STRUTTIN' TIME IS BIG FEATURE AT HOWARD Washington Theatre-goers will again have the rare opportunity to witness the trial performances of a big Broadway productoin, when Eddie Hunter assisted by a cast of seventy people in "Struttin' Time" opens at the Howard Theatre, Monday night, May 19th. The management of the Howard has been fortunate in landing this show as several other theaters were after it. As "Runnni' Wild" has left New York, the big city is now without a big colored show. Therefore, "Strutting Time" has its place already waiting for it in the big city. The show is claimed by its producers, to be a bigger, better and finer show than either "Shuffle Along" or "Runnin' Wild," two previous Boradway successes. The show is built around Eddie Hunter, the logical successor to the mantle of the late Bert Williams. Mr. Hunter's work in "Struttin' Time" is said to be far more funnier than that in "How Come." Assisting Mr. Hunter is a cast of seventy well-selected stars, including Alex Rogers, Andy Tribble, Dink Stewart, Alberta Hunter, Alex Fairchild, Norman Astwood, Leroy Bloomfield, Marcia Marquez, Paul Bass, Walter Crumbley, Barrington Carter, Lena Stanford Roberts, John Turner, Al Young, Nina Hunter, Katheryn Yarber and Frank Montgomery. The book is by Alex Rogers and Eddie Hunter, while the score is by Luckyeth Roberts, a musician of established ability and Washington boy. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. HOOL CERS' REPORT M. E. CHURCH OOD CONDITION Louisville, Ky., May 12—The first week of the twenty-seventh Quadrennial Session of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has gone into history filled with interesting events and they start out this week looking forward to the election of bishops and general officers all of which will be completed by the close of the week. Many are the aspirants for episcopal honors, while others are content if they can only be elected to fill one of the general offices which may prove to be a stepping stone to an honored place in the gift of the general church. The city of Louisville, has been flooded with placards streamers, circulars—in fact, every mehtod of advertising has been used directing the delegates to vote for this man or that man, for this place or that place. To the casual observer, it would appear that the mission of the General Conference is only to elect bishops and officers, but, on the inside from the number of bills and resolutions introduced, one will see that it is to help the church, to help the race—in fact to help the whole country. Prof. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education made a report of his department. He talked about the chance which had been made in ignorance and illiteracy by the universities, colleges and schools of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He represented the possibilities of the Negro youth through the door of hope opened to them through the school room. He was given an ovation such as few men receive in public office. The report which attracted unusual attention, was that of the book concern made by general manager, Dr. D. M. Baxter. This department for years carried a very heavy debt which was cancelled under the mangaement of Dr. R. R. Wright who is now planning to erect a building costing $500,-000. The report showed that already the lot had been purchased, bonds being sold, a nice little balance in the hands of the management of the build-fund deposited in the bank. Prof. John R. Hawkins maintained his reputation for exactness. He had handled under his administration for the African Methodosit Episcopal Church, $3,274,991.30, the largest amount ever handled by any secretary. There had passed through the financial department since organization, 1872 to March 31, 1924, $6,900,-301.63. Bishop W. W. Beckett reported the illness of Dr. J. W. Rankin. For over two years and under direction of the Missionary Board, he had charge of the office with Miss Olive Campbell, chief clerk, and Dr. R. R. Downs, editor of Voice of Missions. He read the report of the department. Since the death of Dr. B. F. Watson, Miss Marie P. Thomas has been in charge of the Church Extension Department, under the supervision of Bishop John Hurst, chairman. This report showed that the department had assets to the amount of $596,648,-89, and the report showed an increase in business. There had been much speculation concerning the report of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A.M.E. Sunday School Union. It seemed that every delegate was in his place when the time arrived for the report to Prof. Bryant. In detail it gave an account of all the financial transactions of his office turning over to the General Conference the deed of all property showing that it was absolutely the property of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He cleared up all doubts in the minds of the delegates. He won for himself a place when he recommended the establishment of a home for worn out ministers; the men who having served this church for years often on starvation wages, and when unable to serve thrown out to die. He reported the home had been started on the campus of the Sunday School Union and will be finished. It seems without doubt, he will be elected. LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO 2015.05.26 HENRY A. RUCKER DIES IN GA. ```markdown ``` Atlanta, Ga., Special—Henry A. Rucker, who for over a quarter of a century was a racial and political leader in this state, died at his home in this city Sunday, May 11th. He leaves a wife and several children. He was about 72 years of age. Mr. Rucker came, into prominence during the late reconstruction period. He stoutly protested the introduction of jim crow cars in the South during the period around 1887. He was an undertaker by trade, but during his life he engaged in various other business ventures. He was particularly successful in operating a chain of barber shops. For over sixteen years Mr. Rucker was collector of Internal Revenue for the whole state of Georgia. He was given this appointment by President McKinley and served through the Roosevelt administrations, but when Taft, now Chief Justice, came into office with his jim crow policy, he refused to appoint Mr. Rucker because the whites objected to a Negro holding such a responsible office.

LOCAL CHURCH CELEBRATES 60th ANNIVERSARY The 60th Anniversary of the Metropolitan Baptist Church and the 19th Anniversary of its pastor, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, closed last night at the Metropolitan Baptist Church with a reception. The Anniversary Services began April 13th when the Rev. Norman, its pastor, preached the Anniversary, sermon. During the anniversary month the following pastors preached appropriate and instructive sermons: Rev. George O. Bullock, D.D., Pastor Third Baptist Church, Rev. James E. Willis, Pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church; Rev. D. Y. Campbell, D.D., Pastor Friendship Baptist Church; Rev. J. U. King, D.D., Pastor Asbury M. E. Church, Rev. J. H. Marshall, Pastor First Baptist Church, South Washington; Rev. L. E. Keiser, D.D., Pastor Walker Memorial Baptist Church, Rev. Robert Anderson, Pastor Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and Rev. Walter Dyson, Assistant Pastor Union Weslev A. M. E. Z. Church. Metropolitan Baptist Church, R Street, between 12th and 13th Streets. Northwest, was organized as the 4th Baptist Church in 1864. Rev. Henry Bailey the first Pastor served about seven years. They worshipped in a small frame building which finally grew too small for its membership. In 1870 Rev. Robert Johnson was called and served with wisdom and increasing influence for thirty-three years. During his administration a magnificent church house, one of the most commodious in the city was erected with a seating capacity of fifteen hundred. This large and spacious house of worship, one of the largest owned by Negro Baptists in the country, and the multitudes that attend the Sunday Services prove the wisdom of Dr. Johnson, who, despite the many protests and unjust criticisms planned and directed this large and costly structure. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, its present pastor, was called and installed its pastor April 10, 1905. When he came to the church he found it struggling and laboring under a debt of more than twenty-one thousand dollars and the membership somewhat scattered and disturbed. According to the clerk's report Monday night, the enrollment now is seven thousand, one hundred and sexenty-nine, giving the church one of the largest memberships of this denomination. During his stay with the church, additions have been made to the church-house—and besides, the building has been entirely renovated—new heating plant—electric lights installed—new furniture and carpets and put in and properties adjacent to the church purchased, all of which have been paid for, costing in the neighborhood of twenty-five thousand dollars. The church is entirely free of all incumbrances. The church clerk reported that the church without any special rallies raised during the last fiscal year, from April 10, 1923 to April 10, 1924, nineteen thousand, three hundred seventy-three dollars and ninety-nine cents. At the reception Monday night, Rev. J. S. L. Hollomon represented the Baptist Ministers' Conference of which Rev. Norman has been president for ten years and several Ministers of the Conference were present and spoke in commendable terms of the pastor and the church as did Deacon George W. Smith, Superintendent Sarah E. Minor, Brother J. W. Smith, Sister Bertha L. King, Deacon Marcellus Davis, Sister Vergie M. Jackson, Sister Anna Clarke Williams and Brother Samuel Smith, representing the various organizations of the church. The present officers of the church are: Deacons George W. Smith, John Holmes, Walter Mitchell, Lawrence E. Murray, Jerry Strother, George Davis, Alonzo Williams, Robert E. Chandler, Gilbert Baker, Walter Hunter, Eursley West, Richard G. Johnson, George Casey, Marcellus Davis and John J. Miller. Brother William H. Bolden is church clerk. POST CHANGES ITS NAME At its regular meeting on Monday, May 12th, Post No. 29, American Legion, decided that it would be known hereafter as the Kenneth Lewis Post No. 29, in honor of the high school boy who served with the District National Guards, later the 372nd Infantry, and who was the first Colored man from the District killed in action in the World War. The action was the culmination of some months of thought on the part of the members of the Post, and advice from many of its friends; and is expected to be met with favor from all quarters. Discussion of plans for Memorial day services brought out many ideas, and it was decided that, in addition to cooperation with Senior Vice- Department Commander Franklin in his plans for the day, the members of the Post would make a pilgrimage to the grave of Kenneth Lewis in Arlington, where appropriate services will be held. On Monday, May 26th, Kenneth Lewis Post No. 29, is inviting all Colored ex-service men to attend a smoke rat the Holy Name Guild Building, 1727 13th Street, Northwest. Comrade Watson B.

NEGROMIGRATION CONTINUES The steady migration of the Negro from the South is not a sporadic movement nor does it have its inception in the popular chaotic conditions which usually follow in the footsteps of a great war, neither can it truthfully be said there is any of the wandering or nomadic element in the movement of our people from the land of oppression as symbolized by the South to the utopic North, with its industrial and educational opportunities. The movement is steady and constant. Negroes coming from all sections of the South, showing that those causes which stimulated migration are by no means localized to any particular section of the South but are universal throughout the area below the Mason and Dixon line. When we consider the causes of the migration of the Negro from the South and the crippling effect which his wholesale leaving will have upon the industrial life of the South, it is indeed surprising that this generalized exodus had not had its origin years sooner, for it is an uncontrovertible fact that Negro labor is the backbone of southern industry and his migration will be felt by a financial loss to the South annually proportionate to the number of migrating Negroes. Fear of mob violence, peonage, low wages and poor educational facilities for their children are the principal reasons for the steady trend of Negroes northward, where they are recognized and treated as citizens, and where their children may receive unlimited educational advantages. The young Negro of today is not the Negro of a generation or two ago. He does not believe in turning both checks to be smacked. He is more venturesome than his forbears, more prone to get away from those conditions for which there seems to be no immediate remedy, and to find a place where he can give expression to those ideals which the white South has forced him to keep dormant. The Negro in the South knows from bitter experience that physical resimient of the white south means, to him and perhaps countless others, an intimately and oftimes an ignominious death—his only alternative lies in seeking a new home in the North. The South faces a tremendous labor question, a crisis in her industrial history, which can only be remedied by a complete metamorphosis of her present creed in regard to the status of the Negro, and we anticipate no sudden change in the policy of the South towards the Negro.

THE EMPIRE PHARMACY Manufacturers of THE EAST INDIA REMEDIES Manufacturers of THE EAST INDIA REMEDIES casionally some southern newspaper may wax eloquent over the flagrant injustices perpetrated upon the Negro, suggesting a mass of inconsistent, illogical remedies. There are other southern papers honest enough to call a spade a spade, and have attempted to depict conditions just as they are, preaching a sane doctrine, against these conditions, and trying to stem the flow of migration not through a propaganda, of lies and camouflage, but by a forecast of a better era in the treatment of the Negro. The capitalistic South controlling the legislating bodies of the South has fought to keep the Negro in the South through the enactment of 'laws, penalizing northern labor agents, and the enactment of other law tricks designed to frustrate migration of the Negro. The white South has hired a handful of Negro renegades who, with the gleam of the white man's gold in their eyes, have treacherously preached to the Negro to remain in the South, but the concerted efforts of these race traitors have had little or no effect upon the exodus. If the present rate of migration continues it is only a question of time when the center of the Negro population in the United States will not be found below the Mason and Dixon line, but will have moved North, where their political strength will be an appreciated factor in national affairs. Already we see a panic-stricken South awakening to the seriousness of hundreds of thousands of Negroes leaving the white man's farms and cotton fields, and we wonder whether in the end his business cupidity of his insane prejudice shall conquer.

The race was a thriller all the way. Leo Robinson leading off for Howard turned the baton over to Hill with a six-yard lead over the remainder of the field which was very closely bunched. Hill kept the advantgae over Brachear of Lineon and “Hank” Corrothers of Union. Craft, member of the vietor- ious Howard relay team of 1921, found Jason of Lincoln his opponent of the third quarter. Craft broke away to maitnain the Howard lead but Jason stuck right at his heels until the final spurt when he passed the Bison speedster to give ‘Strickland, the Lion ace a six-yard advantage which Bright was unable to overcome and the Lincoln anchor ‘man broke the tape two yards in the van, Cook of Union ran a beautiful quarter to take third place elose be- hind the, leaders. Dunbar annexed the scholastic re- lay race breaking Armstrong’s two- year run. Dunbar runnefs piled up ‘a nice lead for Miller, running anchor ‘but it took all he had in the end to stall off the rush of Allen of Arm- strong. Cook and Taylor Feature College Dashes The collegiate dash events resulted im struggles between Cook, captain of the Va. Union track team, and Bill ‘Taylor of Lincoln. The 100-yard final was won by Cook although Taylor beat him in one of the heats. Tay- lor turned the tables on Cook in the 20-yard dash after a beautiful stretch duel. Anderson Master In Field The vietories of T. J. Anderson, captain of the Howard track: team, in the field events was a decided fac- tor in his team’s success, Anderson excelled his field in the diseus, javelin and hammer and finished second in the shot put. Nichols of Howard duplicated his last year’s ivetory in the two-mile. run, However he was unable to low- er his mark of 10:05 made last year. SPORTS CHATTER THE HOWARD'MEET WAS A REAL TREAT ‘The fifth annual Howard University track and field meet was truly a won- derfal spectacle, Not alone, the presence of Charlie West, Ned Gourdin and Sandy Evans but the scores of college and high school athletes made it m scene worth going miles to see. Little inthe way of criticism can be said in regard to the handling of the gigantic task. “The officials selected chiefly from the teachers of local high schools and athletic officials and letter men at Howard: worked faithfully and kept the events: moving rapidly. Too much credit cannot be given Athletic Director Watson for arranging the attraction, and Assistant “Athletic Di- rector Burr for pushing the events through. - However, the behaviour of the spectators made the officials’ job doubly hard. But when one considers that the spectators must stand through it all and fight for places of advantage to see the different events an excuse for their encroachment on the field is found. : It is claimed that Hampton never has any encroachment on the field and. that enough’ students in khaki uniforms are ‘placed on guard to keep the crowds back. “Howard with a military training corps could also use this sys- tem. “Some years ago this plan was used. Of course, it won't be long now before the new field will be the scene of all athletic activities. How- ever, if the University is forced to use the campus again next year, it is hoped that ‘the guard system will be put in effect and, if possible, an ar- rangement be-made to have the spectators encircle the field. AGE CONQUERS IN THIS BATTLE WITH YOUTH “Stringbean” Williams, ace of the Potomac staff and-“Nimp” Winters, former Washington boy, now star southpaw of the Hilldale staff were cer- tainly in grand form Saturday. Beans is starting his fifteenth year of pro- baseball and has already chalked up three victories. His lone defeat came in Baltimore, when three members of the team stood up and let a fly ball drop between them. Letting a team like Hilldale down with three hits was a great feat. But on the other hand’ Winters allowed ‘the Potomacs but one safe blow. It was a hard game for either pitcher to lose but we are glad that the veteran came through.

MALONE Evidently the largest individual gift by colored people of the United States, was that of $25,000 given by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, heads of the Poro College, of St. Louis, Mo., to the local Y. M. C. A. building fund of their city. This gift demonstrates that the Negro is developing in business. Mr. and Mrs. Malone are the owners of the famous Poro College. They have made and are making a creditable record with this manufacturing and distributing establishment. This gift was so outstanding that it attracted the attention of the Governor of the State of Missouri, who was attending the meeting, when Mrs. Malone told why she gave that sum, and he requested the pleasure of a trip to and through the plant. This gift portrays the civic pride of the donors and should be a lesson for practical service for many of our people even in Washington. By this gift, St. Louis is assured of another creditable building for boys and men. With almost double the colored population of St. Louis, Washington has one discreditable building. This gift from the Poro promoters and owners is evidence that we are willing to give as we have received, when we feel that the gift will be properly applied. Mr. and Mrs. Malone are to be commended for their high spirit of philanthropy, for their civic pride and for their example to other colored men and women who have the means to render practical service to the race.

With this issue, The Washington Tribune enters upon its fourth year. The past three years have been eventful ones. Entering the field with two established papers here, one of which had been in existence for forty years and the other for seven years, within three months The Tribune had forged ahead of the field in local circulation and has maintained that position. The older paper ceased publication within eighteen months after we etered the field; but a new paper came into the field about the time of the demise of the older paper, hence we have three weeklies now. In the meanwhile there have been three or four other entrants in the field for two or three weeks' duration. The Tribune was born with the principle of racial progress and clean journalism. We have fought racial discrimination in every instance in which it has appeared. We have fought the hypocracy of the Republican and other parties and shall continue to do so. We have kept up a fight for a decent bathing beach and other recreational facilities. We are demanding representation on the Rent Commission. We are striving to get the colored press to join us in a national demand upon the President to eliminate segregation in all of the departments here in Washington and to abolish the requirement of a photograph with an application for civil service examinations. We are demanding the enforcement of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution as well as the 18th and 19th. With this program before us we happily and earnestly enter our fourth year, with a desire to give Washington a bigger and better paper than ever. Appoint Chas: S. Hill The Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia are now considering the appointment of three members of the Board of Education. One of these will be a colored man as the term of Attorney William L. Houston will expire in June. There is a general and noticeable sentiment among the parents of this city that we should be represented on this important board by a man of vision, with a desire to serve the best interest of the public and not his particular family or social group of friends. The parents are asking for a man who can be counseled on the needs of the school system and whose character is such that he can command the respect of all the people. For such a man, a number of well meaning and serious minded citizens have turned to Attorney Chas. S. Hill. His candidacy is being espoused by those who are anxious to see a new era of service and efficiency in the public schools. Attorney Hill measures up to every requirement for the place and Boyd-Gary Wedding Miss Edna Syphax Boyd, daughter of Mrs. Russell Boyd, a prominent family of this city, and Mr. Daniel W. Gary of Memphis, Tenn., were married last Saturday, May 3rd at seven p.m., at the residence of her mother, by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke. The bride who was beautifully attired in white georgette heavily beaded and veil wisto tiara of orange blossoms, was given in marriage by her brether, Mr. George Boyd. The bride carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Little Miss Corinne Carey was flower girl and Master Benjamin Houston was ring bearer. The maid-of-honor was Miss Dorothy Pelham who wore a-gown of green chiffon; Miss Edith Lyons, bride's maid, wore a pink taffeta, trimmed with silver lace, bouffant effect. Mr. John Richer was best man. PAGE SIX 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, 9. .....President .....Managing Editor .....City Editor AND MRS. E. A.

We happily and earnestly enter to give Washington a bigger and is especially representative of that large group of people who are termed the masses. There is probably no other man in Washington better known and liked in Religious, Civic and Fraternal circles than Attorney Hill. His candidacy carries the unanimous endorsement of the majority of the people constituting these groups. Attorney Hill is a native of Washington and is a lawyer of high standing in the District Courts. He is a graduate of the Howard University Law School, is married and has a family. His interest in the public schools is proven by his many years of devoted service given both in season and out of season. The Washington Tribune believes no better choice would be made by the Judges than the appointment of Attorney Hill as a member of the School Board. His appointment would be a big factor toward re-establishing public confidence in this august body. Attorney Hill's candidacy has the full endorsement of The Washington Tribune and the many thousand of readers whose sentiment this paper expresses every week. Following the ceremony which was witnessed by relatives and friends, a large reception was held. Those who assisted in the dining room were Mesdames Annie McCary Dingle; Evelyn Hunton; the Misses Susie Wilder; Mary M. Gibson; Louise Syphax; Elizabeth Syphax and Stella Skinker. The popularity of the bride and groom was attested by the numerous presents of silver, cut glass, china and fine linen, not only from friends here but many out-of-town places. Out-of-town guests were: Mr. D. W. Gary, father of the groom, Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs. Jas. W. Hughes and daughters of Baltimore, Md.; Miss Brends Moryck of Baltimore, Md., and Miss Dosia Marsh of Boston, Mass. The newlyweds left that night on a honeymoon trip to Chicago. On their return from the West they will be "at home" at their residence, 208 S Street, Northwest.

A WONDERFUL PIECE OF JAPA NESE WOOD-CARVING Because we're directly interested in what the darker races of the world are doing, it will perhaps be interesting to know of a feat done by a Japanese. The most remarkable wooden statue ever conceived is the work of a Japanese artist in wood and ivory. This great artist's name is Hananuma Masahichi who posed for himself by the aid of adjustable mirrors, and carved his own life-size image from wood. More than 2,000 separate pieces of wood were used, each member of the anatomy having been carved separately before putting the whole together. The joints were perfectly made, dovetailed and glued together, only wooden We want you to join the Pen-name Club of the "Children's Page." You who have joined are urged to get new members.

THE BLACK MAN'S BURDEN IS A GOOD BOOK TO READ "The Black Man's Burden" is an interesting book, written by William H. Holtzclaw, principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute for the Training of Colored Young Men and Women, Utica, Miss. It has an introduction by Boker T. Washington, and is illustrated. In literary-style as well as in substance this volume deserves first rank among the prose writings of our race. Incidentally, too, it reveals the great achievements of Booker T. Washington in behalf of his race; for Mr. Holtzclaw was graduated from Tuskegee, class of 1898. The achievements of this Mr. Holtzclaw read as if from some fairy book. Born during Reconstruction, in a little cabin near Roanoke, Ala., he was put to work on a farm when four years old. "The first day of October, 1890, found me near Tuskegee," he says. "I presented myself at Mr. Washington's Juvenile Department ADDRESS: CHILDREN'S PAGE The Washington Tribune 920 U Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE pegs being used for fastening. With the woodwork completed, the artist applied lacquer to the statue, giving it the appearance of flesh and blood. Skin blemishes, blue veins, discolorations—everything is reproduced faithfully. The hair on the figure is the artist's own. He used the clippings from his head and beard, boring tiny holes for the hairs and setting them in place one by one. The body hairs were all pulled from his own body and put in exactly the same position on the figure as they occupied on himself. The teeth are visible through slightly parted lips, and the eyes, made of glass by the artist, have the appearance of real eyes. The figure is in every particular, even the most minute, an exact counterpart of the artist. The carrying required three years, even to so adroit and masterly a workman as Masaki chi. NO MAMMY STATUE Rudolph Saunders an eleven-year-old Tribunite is opposed to the idea of there being a monument erected by the white people to the memory of the black mummies of America. He expresses his opposition in Negro dialect verse form. "Dey gwiner mek er mammy statue so I yeard tother day, But dere wouldn't be no statue if I only had my way. I'd up an' tellum right enway to build it in the ocean. build it in the ocean. Now lisen, folks, I'm anxious to tell yo' what I'll do If you build dat statute, I'll break it right in two." good.

I was now a young man, but I could not tell, in answer to his questions, in what county I lived, or in what state or in what country." One of the questions put to him on examination was, "What are the parts of speech?" "I have never studied language," he says, "so I answered according to my lights, that the parts of speech were lips, teeth, tongue, and palate." But he was admitted to Tuskegee, where he was put to stripping fodder from some sorghum cane. Refusing to become a member of the Tuskegee faculty, when he graduated, he went to Mississippi, where he felt that his services were most needed. He made his way to Utica, through a wild and unfrequented part of Mississippi, and in a cabin nearby established The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Young Men and Young Women. But a few years have elapsed since then—so few, in fact, that Mr. Holtzelwau is still a young man—but in these few years he has created a Editor THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1924 OUR LETTER BOX LETTERS JOHN BROWN John Brown, a great American abolitionist, was born at Torrington, Connecticut, May 9, 1800. As one of the descendents of the Pilgrims who landed in the Mayflower, he retained the old puritan spirit of sternness. The idea of liberating the slaves, early became his master passion. Having failed in business, he settled on a farm in New York state, from which he was called by his sons, who had settled in Kansas to assist them in the struggle then going on between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery men. Here he became a leader in the border warfare. His most famous engagements were the combat of Black Jack where he drove back a superior force of Missourians, and the encounter from which he received the name of "Osawatomie" resisting for almost an hour a body of 500 men with 15 men, and making good his escape. He assisted a number of slaves who tried to escape to Kansas. He also tried to interest people of the East with his plans; but he was looked upon as a fanatic. He planned to attack slavery on its own ground, and relied on the slaves rallying to his standard to make a good attack. He even drew up a constitution and elected officers, but claimed that he had no intention of overthrowing the government. His plan included the seizure of the United States arsenal at Harper's Ferry, W. Virginia. Going to Hagerstown, Md., Brown took a farm and gradually gathered about twenty-two persons, seventeen of them being white men. Arms and ammunition were secretly shipped to him and on the night of October 16, 1859, he seized the arsenal, liberated the slaves of the city and captured sixty citizens. But the Negroes failed to rally round him; his men were gradually killed off and a number of citizens were killed. On the morning of the 18th, the door of the engine room into which he had retreated was battered down, and he and the few survivors were overpowered and captured by United States troops under Col. Robt, E. Lee. Brown was taken to Charleston, Virginia, tried and condemned for trenon and murder. He was hanged December 2, 1859. His attempt to free the slaves, his death and the investigations that followed had an effect in bringing to focus the difference of opinion between the two sections of the country on the question of slavery and hurried on the Civil War. THELMA WILSLON (11) JOHN BROWN—THE GREAT ABOLTIONIST (Prize Letter ) Dear Editor: I am writing to tell you something concerning the life of John Brown. He was born in Torrington, Connecticut, in 1800. He was executed at Charlestown, Virginia, (now West Virginia) on December 2, 1850, for having attempted by armed force to liberate slaves in that state. He was a descendant of Peter Brown, who came over in the "Mayflower" in 1620. When a boy he chanced to see a slave boy cruelly beaten by his master and he then and there vowed eternal war with slavery. In 1848 he purchased a farm in North Elba, New York but spent a great deal of his time in aiding runaway slaves to get to Canada. He great institution, with an enrollment of more than 500 pupils, taught by thirty-five instructors, with property comprising 1,700 acres of land, on which he and his pupils have erected more than fourteen buildings with their own hands. The entire property of the institution is now valued at nearly $200,000, to which important additions are yearly being made. I would advise all of the Triunbites to read this book as soon as they can. PRIZE WINNING LETTERS The winners in the prize letter contest are Thelma Wilson, Florence Shorter, James E.

This is my first letter and for my pen-name I would like "Quaker Lady." Dear Editor: I am writing to tell you about John Brown, the great abolitionist. John Brown was born in Torrington, Connecticut, in 1800. When he was a boy he saw a slave boy crudely beaten by his master, he then and there vowed eternal war against slavery. When forty-eight old he purchased a farm and spent a part of his time in aiding runaway slaves to get to Canada that they might receive their freedom. At the age of fifty-five he went to Osawatomie, Kansas to strike a blow at slavery. In the autumn of 1859 he made a raid into Virginia and seized a government building at Harper's Ferry and attempted to free slaves in that vicinity. At this time his band consisted of twenty men, colored and white. He and part of his men were captured after a hard battle. They were sentenced to be executed. On the day of his execution, he handed the guards a paper with these words: "I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away with out blood shed. I had, as I now think vainly flattered myself that without very much blood shed it might be done." Shortly after his death the Union army was marching to battle singing a "John Brown's body lies moulding in the grave, but his sold is marching on." There are lots of things that I could say about this man with such a spirit of justice. Because he loved my people. I consider him as being a great man and a hero. He gave his life for my race. JAMES E. YATES (12) John Brown was one of the greatest friends of the Negro. He was born in Torrington, Connecticut in 1800. He went to Kansas in 1855 and became a leader of the Free State party during 1856-57. In May 1859 he organized a body of men to invade Virginia for the purpose of freeing the slaves. On October 16 with about twenty men he took possession of the arsenal and armory of Harper's Ferry. He was attacked the next day, and two of his sons and almost all of his men were killed. He was captured and tried for treason and murder, and was hanged at Charlestown, on December 2, 1859. GERTRUDE FLETCHER (9) Dear Editor: I have been a reader of the "Children's Page" for a long time, so I thought I would like to join. For my pen-name I would like "Sir Lancelot."

BERNARD JOHNSON (13) Dear Editor: "Margurite" wishes to introduce to the Tribunites a new member, Bernice Bland who wishes her pen-name to be "Norma Talmadge." "MARGURITE" WHAT RESTED MOTHER It was such a busy, busy morning! Every one seemed to want mother for everything at once, and she was trying to look after a lot of things and talk to two or three peole at the same time. Then the telephone rang, and she had to answer it. As she stood there talking, the little boy came softly in. It was time for him to go to school, but he whispered smilingly, "I want to kiss you before I go." Mother turned for the good-bye kiss and the lady who was taking down a report of a meeting at the other end of the line did not know that anything was happening. But something had happened, for mother turned back feeling rested and happy with the worried wrinkle gone from her forehead. How easy to work when she had such a loving helper! And the whole day was easier—for just a little boy's good-bye kiss.—Selected. May issue of JEWEL PLAYER ROLLS 75c FREDERICKSBURG, VA.
