SPENCER INDICTED BY GRAND JURY First in Local Circulation. Vol. 4, No. 8 SPEN DISMISS RACE URGED TO SUPPORT THIRD PARTY N. A. A. C. P. Convention at Philadelphia Adopts Such Resolution (By Ike Murray) A dispatch from Philadelphia dated June 30, says that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, holding in session in that city, has passed a resolution urging colored voters of the country to disregard party choice and support the third party movement, as the opening inducement toward the "political and economic emancipation of the Negro." Sometime ago, the Republican Party served notice on the Colored voters that their services were not especially needed, politically speaking, and that the "lily white" policy would hereafter be the one followed, if they intended further to identify themselves with it. In sections where colored voters are given the right to endorse their political preferences, the Democratic Party, having seen this advantage, is offering many, and sundry inducements for the race to forsake its old family tradition and cast its votes in the direction most profitable. To what extent this important resolution adopted in Philadelphia the other day by the N.A.A.C.P. will influence the colored vote next November, at the polls, is not known or can any prediction express a safe opinion as to the probable result, yet it is a well known fact that the colored voters are holding their ears close to the ground and catching what ever advice they can that means to them political prestige. Both parties are in the throes of a violent partisan upheaval, seething at times with the bitterest acrimony, and whether or not, strict adherence to a third party deal, by a race wholly disfranchised in some parts of country, would help matters in this respect, is a question for the future not to ignore. The one hope is, and it cannot be shattered by the wiley intrigues of austere politicians, that political freedom is no longer in abeyance, but on the upward march. BISHOP COPPIN A.M.E. CHURCH PASSES AWAY Philadelphia, Pa.—Bishop Levi J. Coppin, senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, died at his home here Wednesday, June 25th. Although the Bishop had been ill for several months, when the time came for the General Conference which convened at Louisville, Ky., in May, he insisted on attending and while there fought the plan of some of the Bishops to retire him. This fight it is believed gave him a set-back and upon returning to his home here he was more or less confined to his bed. Bishop Coppin was in charge of the Fourth Episcopal District comprising Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and North Dakota. He was born at Frederick, Md., February 24, 1848. He graduated from the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School in Philadelphia in (Continued on page 3) The Washington Tribune White House Intervention Saves Clerks. Fight For Negro Register Renewed Representative Madden of Illinois and Register Speelman Pass Buck as to Who is to Blame for Dismissals Segregation Policy will be Big Factor in Election is Belief Spingarn Medal Awarded To Roland W. Hayes Colored clerks, whose services in the office of the Register of the Treasury were ended June 30, have been given employment in one of the sections of the bonus bureau of the War Department. This provision was made for them at the instance of the Wihte House. The fight to save them from dismissal from the Government service was carried there when all efforts in their behalf at the Treasury Department had failed. A total of forty-eight colored clerks were given re-employment. Three women were dismissed because of their inefficiency rating. This adjustment, however, does not end the agitation which began when they were notified that they would be separated from the Government service. It simply turns its course toward Harley V. Speelman, the Register. Colored Republican leaders regard the time as opportune to seek his re- Philadelphia, Pa. (Special)—Roland Hayes, tenor of International fame, was awarded the 1924 Spingarn Medal at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in session here. This medal is awarded each year to the Negro who, during the year shall have made the highest achievement in any field of human endeavor. Mr. Hayes was awarded the medal for his recognized ability as a singer. Born in poverty in Curryville, Ga., in 1887, he fought his way up the ladder of success, until he occupies a place of prominence among the leading artists of the world. After studying in Boston for some years, Mr. Hayes launched out in Concert work but did only fair. In 1921 he decided to go to Europe. Upon arriving there he was almost an instantaneous success. His fame quickly spread all over the continent. He was literally beseiged with offers to sing. The height of his achievement was reached when his majesty, the King and Queen of England, invited Mr. Hayes to sing before them. So pleased were the Royal Household with the concert, they presented Mr. Hayes with a handsome scarf pin. Roland Hayes returned to America, a year and a half ago and was greeted with immense crowds, wherever he sang. However, he remained here only a short time, returning to Europe to continue his work. The Spingarn Medal is the gift of Joel E. Spingarn. The Medal was first awarded in 1915 to Dr. E. E. Just, Biologist of Howard University; 1916 to Col. Chas. Young, soldier and traveler; 1917, to Harry T. Burleigh, poet, musician and composer; 1919, to Archi- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 moval and a colored successor to him appointed. To this end they charge that he is incompetent. They further charge that the segregation policy, which he has maintained, will prove embarrassing in their efforts to corral the colored vote in the coming campaign. The appointment of a colored Register, they point out, would make this work easier. Mr. Speelman has also earned the enmity of Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committee. He put the responsibility for the necessity of a reduction of his office force on Mr. Madden because of the failure of the appropriations committee to report out a bill giving him $280,000 to carry on the work in which these clerks were engaged. This charge will be used against Mr. Madden in his candidacy for reelection by Earl B. Dickerson, colored Democrat, who will oppose him in the November election. dal Awarded W. Hayes ROLAND W.

Will Take Special Course in Europe this Summer as Added Preparation Among the 250 receiving appointments to teach in New York high schools at the beginning of the next scholastic year was one Negro, Willis N. Huggins. His appointment makes the sixth member of his race to teach in the local high schools. He will instruct in European history. Mr. Huggins is a native of Selma, Ala. His parents were poor and although they had a large family, all of their children were sent to the public school. However, after your Huggins completed his public school course at Clark School, he entered Selma University. From Selma young Huggins came to Washington, D. C., and took a course at Armstrong Technical High School. From Washington he went to New York and entered the Teachers' College of Columbia University in 1911, graduating in 1914, with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. The next year he received the Master of Arts degree. Because his parents were unable to give him much help he had to work his way through school. For five years he was a teacher in the public schools of Chicago, coming to New York in 1922. He has been teaching defective children in the day elementary schools among the foreign born.

Other than to second a motion, Rev. Bennett spent his first day on the board rather quietly. It is not yet known as to how Rev. Bennett will line up when it comes to formulating school policies. After an open session, in which only routine business was transacted, the board went into an executive session that lasted more than two hours. The main purpose of this session was the filling of positions created under the new appropriation act. However, because of differences, among board members, no conclusions were reached. The Board will meet in another session next Monday. The new department of Physical Training, which was recently established, will be in charge of E. B. Henderson, now of Dunbar High School.

Price 5 Cents DAMAGING TESTIMONY PRESENTED Indictment Charges Felonious Assault. Two Prominent Doctors Testify Maurice Warren Spencer, secretary of the National Equal Rights League and well-nigh nationally known figure, was indicted Monday by the grand jury on a charge of assault to rape. The indictment charges that on May 24, 1924, he made a felonious assault upon Olga Newman with intent to rape and carnally know her against her will. Miss Newman is a seventeen year old Miner Normal School girl. She and one of the daughters of Maurice Spencer are classmates. Girl's Story The girl appeared before the grand jury and described minutely the details of the horrid experience, from which she barely escaped. Portions of her testimony were corroborated by other witnesses. She told the grand jury that on May 19, Spencer was at her house, 1728 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, and wanted her to solicit some money for the Masonic drive. She told him she would have to get the consent of her parents. While she was alone on the morning of May 24, she said that he returned with the same request and when she told him that she could not solicit the funds he wanted, instead of leaving the house he grabbed hold of her and started hugging and kissing her. Fought Him She testified that she fought him and tried to get away and struck him with a broom with which she had been cleaning. He came right back, she charged, threw her on the floor and violently attempted to commit the act. She was screaming all the while, she said, but no one came to her rescue except a six-year old child who was alone in the house with her. Spencer, she claimed, told this little girl to go back into the kitchen. Miss Newman told the grand jurors that she asked Spencer "how would he like for someone to do this to his daughters and he said this was just a matter of fun." Escapes At last she managed to get away from him. He remained in the house, she said. She went to the home of Haley G. Douglass, 1732 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, and told his wife what had occurred. She also called up two school teachers and told them. Mrs. Evelyn Douglass testified that she called Olga's mother, who was at work at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and upon the request of Mrs. Newman got her husband to tell Spencer to leave the house. Dr. John W. Mitchell, of 817 T Street, N. W., who examined Olga at 7 p.m., May 24, testified that "from my examination an attempt was made to enter the girl." Dr. Marie B. Lucas, of 1730 15th Street, Northwest, who made an examination on the following day corroborated this testimony. GOLDEN HOTEL OPENS The Hotel Golden at Colton, Md., is now open for the summer season.

ASK PROGRESSIVES TO AID VIRGIN ISLANDS New York City—Efforts to get the Conference for Progressive Political Action, which meets in Cleveland on July 4, to incorporate a plank in its platform pledging a permanent form of civil government for the Virgin Islands and the status of American citizenship for the natives, were begun yesterday by the American Civil Liberties Union. In a letter to the Resolutions Committee the Conference was requested to deal with the islands on the ground that the American "Naval rule" has created agitation among the natives. A memorandum declared that since the United States acquired the islands in 1917, nearly 40 per cent of the population has migrated. We hate to admit it, but even the best of us like to be petted occasionally. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY.

HAITIANS CHARGE AMERICANS WITH WILFUL MURDER Lyons, France—The sensatoinal charge that the United States marines had killed 3,000 natives since the Americian occupation of Haiti was made before the International Federation of Nations societies in an address by Dantes Bellegards, the Haitian minister to France. He declared that the methods used by the marines in inflicting death even included a resort to dropping bombs from airplanes on defenseless villages ruthlessly killing women and children. M. Bellegarde presented a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the United States marines. It was defeated. A substitute resolution, offered by Dr. C. A. Duniway, representing an American association, was adopted. The American resolution expressed sympathy for the Haitian people, noted the charges and declared that the Republic of Haiti should be given at the earliest possible moment all her rights as a free and independent state. It expressed satisfaction, however, with the statement of Secretary of State Hughes that the marines would be withdrawn as soon as possible. In the course of his speech M. Bellegrade bitterly condemned the American occupation. He said that the United States could not justify its occupation by international law. Haiti owed the United States no debt and had ill treated no Americans; yet for nine years had been forced to endure military occupation with martial law and a dictatorship in contravention of the rights of man and nations. He asserted that with the aid of martial law the United States had imposed prejudicial measures upon the Haitian people under the pretext of the existence of internal troubles; yet troubles existed in other countries and the United States did not intervene. He accused the American Government of bringing about the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies in order to administer the Haitian treasury itself, and of establishing a treasury dictator who receives his orders from Washington. United States marines were virtually conscripting peaceful citizens and forcing them to build roads to strategic parts of the island. When the natives revolted against this forced labor, he charged that the marines had slaughtered over 3,000 including women and children. While the debate on the Haitian question was under way, the Japanese before another commission were gaining what for them constitutes a great moral victory on the problem of racial equality. They got through a resolution calling upon all states to adopt mutually and reciprocally uniform regulations for the admittance and departure of foreigners without regard to nationality, religion or occupation. According to a statement issued by the State Department, the evacuator of Haiti by American forces will be effected "as soon as internal conditions in the Republic make it possible." Persons who have closely watched the Haitian occupation, however, have very little faith in this statement. They say that such promises have been made from time to time ever since the first troops landed.

NETTIE BROWN, Prop MILK CHEESE MILK CHEESE MILK CHEESE Wonderful Hair Grower Vegetable Shampoo Soap II The Democratic Convention The Democratic Platform A striking feature of the Democratic Convention, which began session June 24, was the conspicuous display of family quarrels. You listened-in. read your favorite papers only to find that a big quarrel was on in New York at the Madison Square Garden. What explanation can be given for this anomaly? A. E. H. The Democratic Party was originated during Jefferson's (L. L. Parker) high-day. Its political history shows that it has been more a combination of groups than a party. Only at short intervals has it possessed unity of faith and purpose. It has grown from a duality to a combination of three sectional groups. Slavery gave it its first big shake-up in its golden era before the Civil War. But fear of the Northern wing had already crept into the Southern wing. The two-thirds rule was introduced in the convention of 1832, when Jackson and Van Buren became the Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees respectively. The reaffirmation of this rule in 1844 caused the defeat of Van Buren, the North's choice, although on the first ballot it had a clear majority. The Southern minority, devoted to the defense of slavery, and the Northern majority, handicapped by the two-thirds rule, were the two district groups up to the split in 1860. Stephen A. Douglas brought about this crash by not yielding to the dictation of Southern leaders who persisted in nominating for the Presidency "Northern men with Southern principles." Only four Northern states—Indiana, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut—after reconstruction were needed to enable the South to win the Presidency, so greatly had its power increased by the enfranchisement of the Negro. A period of close alliance loosely arrived at set in. The South subordinated everything to the security of white supremacy at home; yet it reached an understanding with Northern and Western Democrats on the issue of free trade. Tilden just missed an election and Cleveland was elected twice during this period. The fundamental divergence in thought between the South and old Northern Democracy erupted in Cleveland's second term. The South entered into a league with the free silver West and turned to free silver coinage. With Mr. W. J. Bryan as a Presidential nominee, this alliance was renewed in 1900 and again in 1908. In 1904 the South experimented with an alliance with the Eastern Democracy. Wilson restored harmony in 1912 and 1916. He was a Southern man with Northern residence and training with striking individualistic ideas and policies. Had he taken note of the basic group antagonisms within his party it would not, perhaps, have suffered defeat in 1920. In the Convention just held there was a similar manifestation. Old blocs were in evidence everywhere—North, West, South. The South, "intensely American, intensely 'dry'" saw fit to turn its thought to things other than white supremacy. The West, distinctly "dry," joined hands with the South for a so-called better Americanization. But these two were at odds with the bulk of the Northern Democracy on the issue of the Ku Klux Klan. Radicalism in the Western group is from precedent and habit; radicalism in the South is superficial. Radicalism in Eastern and Southern groups extends no further than the pursuit of votes. Briefly, we have given sound historical reasons for the confusion and dispute amid which the 1924 Democratic Convention assembled. The only thing in common among the three sections was the desire of each to exercise a veto power at the expense of one or both of the others. Without this the gathering would have lost its dramatic quality—ceased to be happy; for it thrives on domestic antagonisms. To avoid or even to mitigate the quarrels would be untrue to its history. The Democratic platform is not void of platitudes, not free from evasion and bunk. Yet, on a whole, it is stronger than usual, being in some subjects direct, courageous, and constructive. Material things are the chief concern of the Republican Party; human rights, the Democratic Party. This is the chief difference of purpose of the two parties. Indictment of the inefficiency and corruption of the party in power was Fall Time the time to give your dances and receptions Several of the Best Dates of the Dancing Season Can Be Booked AT THE CASINO where the floor is smooth and restful and the ventilation good and healthful Apply at Office, 920 U St., N.W. to be expected, and could not have been too strongly drawn. We also expected a criticism of the disposition of the party in power to denounce the exposure of crimes rather than the crooks and criminals. However, our real interest in the document lies in the vagueness and the frankness with which the authors sought to indicate the policy to be pursued toward vital present day problems. There is a striking contrast between the platforms of the two parties in dealing with agricultural depression. In the Democratic platform there is but a string of meaningless generalities. To make the Government more readily responsible to the public's will is the most interesting pledge. To do this a Constitutional amendment providing for the convening of a newly-elected Congress immediately after the biennial elections would be sponsored. The campaign will be partly waged on the elemental differences in the two parties' theories of taxation. These differences are clearly set forth in the platforms. It is a pity that among so much good there should be found portions which are unworthy of the party. The Ku Klux Klan succeeded in keeping its name out of the plank by a narrow margin of one vote. It is indeed a victory, though by a small margin; for not even were the words "organizations" or "societies" used in the platform. The plank is opposed to and condemns "any effort to arouse religious or racial dissension"—but does not name the Klan. We know what this means, but such a plank shows the lack of courage. Its strength will therefore depend upon the courage and specificness with which the general condemnation is applied to those it fits—the character of the man resolutely set toward a policy defining unequivocal opposition to the principles of the Klan.

JULY 5. 1924 FACILITIES FOR BATHING HERE ARE INADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR BATHING HERE ARE INADEQUATE With the warm weather now at hand, Washington is yet confronted with the old problem of inadequate bathing facilities. The only pool in which colored persons are permitted to bathe is the Howard Park pool at Second and W Streets, Northwest. This pool is under the playground department, of which Mrs. Rhodes is the head. Mrs. Rhodes, in order to try to properly accommodate the hundreds of people who desire this form of recreation, has advanced the opening hour of this pool two hours earlier than the others pools under her department. From 7 to 9 a.m. each day, the pool, is open for mixed bathing. Then from nine to closing time on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, the pool is open for girls and women bathers; Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, it is open for boys and men. This program will be carried through the summer. This pool, which is the only place where 112,000 people can bathe, is closed on the main day the people can use it—Sundays. This practically deprives the majority of people who would like to use the pool, the use of it. The Federal authorities permit bathing in the Eastern Branch of the Potomac at Buzzard's Point, Southwest, but there are absolutely no facilities there at all for bathing. This so-called beach is unsanitary and highly dangerous to the health of those who use it. No attempt is made to keep it clean and no guards for the protection of lives are provided. A movement is now on foot to try to get the spacious pool at Dunbar High School thrown open for mixed bathing. If this pool is opened it will somewhat relieve the over-crowded conditoin at the Howard pool and will afford some form of recreation for those who love to swim. Better enjoy yourself as you go along—you can't store up the ingredients of a good time. Bishop Coppin Passes Away (Continued from page one.) 1887; and received his D.D. degree from Wilberforce University in 1889. He married Fannie M. Jackson of Philadelphia in 1880. He was ordained to the ministry in 1877. During his pastorate he held some of the most important churches in the East. He edited the A. M. E. Church Review from 1888 to 1896; was elected to the Bishopric in 1900. Upon the retirement of Bishop Benjamin F. Lee at the last General Conference, he became the senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. Funeral services were held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia, Tuesday, July 1st. He is survived by his second wife, Dr. M. Evelyn (Thompson), a practicing physician, and by one child, Louise, age eight years. KILLS AGED MAN BELIEVING HIM A CONJURER Crazed because he believed Albert Dorsey to be a conjurer, David Lee, an inmate of St. Elizabeth Hospital for the insane, killed Dorsey, also an inmate of the hospital, by beating him over the head with an iron pipe, last Saturday afternoon while the attendants had them out for their afternoon walk. Lee was held by the coroner's jury Monday to await the action of the grand jury. According to the attendants who had a group of about twenty inmates out on the grounds, all of them were sitting down peacefully, when all of a sudden, without any words, Lee began to beat Dorsey over the head with an iron pipe. Dorsey, who was about seventy years of age, was unable to defend himself and before the attendants could reach them, the fatal blow had been delivered. In questioning Lee, the coroner asked him as to why did he hit Dorsey, and with simple child-like frankness, Lee replied, "Because he was a conjuror." Lee is about forty years of age and came here last December from Greenville, Miss. According to the attendants, he is a religious fana- tic. They say he usually went around telling the attendants to do good and stop sinning. Dorsey's home was 609 Broad Alley S.W. So far as the hospital authorities know, there was not the slightest feeling between the two men. Neither of them had shown any sign of doing anything violent.

M. C. A. building, 1619 Druid Hill Avenue, Saturday, June 28th for a discussion of the future athletic relations of the ‘two universities. Lincoln University was represented by Dean George Johnson and Profes- sor E. P. Davis, chairman of the Ath- letie Board of Control; Mr. L. L. Wat- son, director of the Department of Physical Education, and Dr. Emmett J. Seott, seeretary-treasurer, who has been designated to manage the busi- ness details of the Howard Board of Athietie Control. Dr. W. G. Alex- ander of Newark, N. J., who was also to have been present as a Lincoln rep- resentative, was prevented from be- ing present because of urgent calls in other directions. After a full discussion, it was de- cided to renew the football contract Between the two schools for the next two years, it being understood that the coming (1924) game will be played on Thanksgiving Day under the management of Howard Univer- sity officials at Washington, or such place as may be designated by How- ard University, and the 1925 game under the general Witeetion of Lincoln University at such point as Lincoln officials may designate. At this time very lively bidding has een submitted suggesting that the game be played this fall at Washing- ton, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and New York. The outstanding feature of the agreement with respect to games in the future is that “the institution managing the game shall bear full re- sponsibility through its regular Ad- ateietnnbine —afliasne Sor the—propow conduct of the business incident there- to, including adequate and compre- hensive police protection and full and cflicient corps of cashiers, ticket sellers and takers ,and other neces. sary helpers, and also for the finan: cial share of the visiting institution.” The same basis of understanding— sixty per cent to the home team and forty per cent to the guest-team, was Guiaen efnnted.

Hitby A THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 -HARRISBURG GIANTS WILL BEAR WATCHING IN THE EASTERN COLORED LEAGUE RACE By Lloyd P. Thompson | Back in the bleak days of last Win- ter, Colonel Strothers, who for years has been a prominent figure around Pennsylvania's Capital, concocted the idea of putting Harrisburg on the baseball map in a big way. After grabbing a berth in the East- Le Cireuit that assured the Colonel of-all the best attractions for the home town fans, he set about to line ‘up a bunch of standard bearers that would warm the hearts of the natives ‘who residé in the Capital City that borders on the banks of the Susque- ‘hanna. | Knowing the ropes well enough not to lug a weakling into the big tent, ‘the Colonel began building carefully realizing that the first thing essen- tial was to get hold of a competent leader that could put the squad through the paces and know when the gang were doing their stu’ prop- erly. Oscar Charleston making good as a Leader As every one, who is familiar with the world of sport knows, Strothers pulled the deal that startled the base- ball world when he landed” Oscar Charleston for his revamped Harris- burg Giants and further announced that Oscar would don the managerial toga, Wise croakers and the I-told- you-so’s who are always to cast a dis- senting vote, advanced the allusion that a truly great ball player would not fit in as chieftain of the tribe. Now, evidentally those wischeimers are looking for another anvil to knock out their doeful chorus on, for you can tell the world that Oscar is mak- ing good with a bang and the Stroth- ers-Charleston combine is on a fair way to finish on the top of the heap in the Eastern’ Cireuit. Nor has. the sensational Charleston permitted the managerial eares to rest heavy on his shoulders to the extent of yesterday, the Westein phenom is burning up the Eastern Circuit, Great Ball Club at Harrisburg Fourth place at this stage.of the game don't mean anything to the combination that represents Harris- burg. For a wihle the pitching staff was a problem, Kenneth Ping Gard- ner and Dalty Cooper were the only hurlers to show the kind of form necessary to win ball games and the Giants lost some ground due to this cause, but Charleston knew the stuff was around, and now Qsear’s wor- ries about pitchers are over. The in- field was also a problem and at least three combinations were tried before the Harrisburg mentor was satisfied ‘that with the results. Wesley at fst base and Claude Johnson at sec- ‘ond have been fixtures sinee the elub was put together, but short stop ani ‘the hot corner gave much concern Cleo Smith was started at third with Georgie Fiall at short, then Fiall was moved over to third and John George from the New Orlean Crescents placed at short, but George’s hitting didn’t satisfy Charleston, so he brought Cleo back as a shortstop, and 'as the fairy tale winds up “they lived happy forever after.” Dick Jackson, 3 former infielder was converted inte ‘an outer gardener and stationed ir right, “Fats” Jenkins of bseball fame and the redoubtable Oscar, him- |self form one of the best combinations of fly snarers in the Eastern Cireuit | Leon Daniels is doing the bulk of the receiving with Hen Jordan a home bred playing second fiddle.

Taylor, founder of organized Negro baseball, must have shuddered in his grave last week, when the announcement went forth that the Indianapolis A. B. C. club, organized and made famous by him, had been dropped from the Negro National League. Every person interested in organized Negro baseball regrets the passing of the Indianapolis A. B. C. club. It. was long recognized as one of our most famed aggregations. The fate of the A. B. C..club was brought on by the baseball war between the East and West. During the first year of the Eastern League’s reign the Indianapolis club lest over a half dozen of its best men. Ben Taylor settled in Washington and brought along “Specs” Clarke, Mack Eggleton, Wayne Carr, and William Ross. Still a nucleus for a fair club remained but dur- ing the past winter a final raid was made which took the “mighty” Oscar Charleston, Shively, Cooper, Newsome, Jeffries, Day, Blackmon and Williams, leaving only Dixon of the former great club. An effort was made this spring by Manager Dismuke and Sirs C. I. Taylor, owner, to keep the club in the western circuit but, players of the caliber of Charleston, Taylor, and Day, are [seldom picked up overnight and the club could not keep ‘pace with other league clubs. Only three league games out of twenty. |two had been won by the “alphabet” team up to the period it was ‘dropped. It is hoped’ that Indianapolis fans can find a way to come to the rescue of Mrs, C. I. Taylor and restore the club to its former place The Indianapolis A. B. C. club is a sacred heritage although | nothing remains, but its name. It was the master piece of a great crganizer, one who spent his life urging Rube Foster and other ‘baseball men that “in union there is strength.” C. I. Taylor died ‘with the satisfaction of knowing he had succeeded. Had he lived we doubt if a war between the sections would have ever occurred, the A.B. C. club would still be the pride of the middle west in- ead of being on the verge of oblivion. Watching Olympic Four | The athletic world is keenly awaiting the Paris and the Negro is as anxious as any o sented by a quartet of its best athletes, we chance of victory rests with the performance: din, Johnson and West.

Repre- sented by a quartet of its best athletes, we believe America’s chance of victory rests with the performances of Hubbard, Gour- ‘din, Johnson and West. The latter has not as yet been named as jone of America’s representatives to compete in the pentathlon but ee we miss our guess, a place for the former Washington and Jefferson star will be found. Hubbard and Gourdin are probably America’s surest point makers. Should either become incapacitated the other is capable of winning the broad jump event while Hubbard looms just as formidable in the hop, step and jump. Earl Johnson is not expected to shine. in the long races. He will be pitted against runners of inherited durability and well schooled since birth.

YESSIR DID YOU WRITE THIS ABOUT A GOOF GETTING A CARNEGIE MEDAL WITH SPECIAL MENTION FOR SAVING A DROWNING PERSON? I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN' ELSE BUT! WELL WHY THE SPECIAL MENTION WHY THE PERSON WAS HIS MOTHER IN-LAW! The Boss His Desk If you're tired of your job ask for a raise Glowing Tribute Paid Nellie Plummer Glowing Tribute Paid Nellie Plummer (Continued from page 8) rallied, when the church burned in 1907. She enthused and encouraged us so much until within five years every dollar of the $5,500 was paid, and our remodeled church stood free of debt. She cashed a life insurance policy for $500, and gave the entire sum toward the rebuilding. "Had she kept that policy until the time was out, it would have meant more than a thousand dollars to her. It was just such sacrifices that endeared her to us. And she gave largely at every rally also. I believe that through her we set up the example of paying off church debts, for many of the churches in Washington rallied and paid off large debts, thus saving much interest, after seeing what a little church could do, under proper leadership." Just here a pause was made in the program to allow a former pupil from Orphan's Home to honor and cheer her teacher; say a word before leaving. On coming to the stage, Mrs. Maud Johnson McElroy told how she determined to come, although not very well. During her remarks she paused again and again to say "May God bless her," until the hearts of all were touched even to weeping. 9. Home life by Dr. R. F. Plummer was next in order. It is seldom that any brother pauses to pay such a high tribute to his sister. How I'd like to include his every word. He said in part "Considering the close relation between the one for whom this Testimonial is given and myself, I heartily join in showing the family's appreciation for her great work home, here, and at school. "You can't have this great demonstration without including me, for we are twin brother and sister. My first great sorrow came when she went away to Wayland school, for we had never been separated. While we were yet very small, I composed my first song, 'Little Sister's got the moestess, but I don't care,' I sang these words making a tune as I went along with tears streaming down my face. Her piece was always smaller but I thought otherwise. Now according to this demonstration she is still getting the moestess. Then I did care, but now I don't care. For I am glad from the bottom of my heart that you see fit to give her, her flowers now while she can see, and realize, your love, and loyalty, and faithfulness. Keeping her word has been a tower of strength to her. I will trust her anywhere, under all circumstances, for she has never failed us. No matter how hard or dark seemed the way, she always found a ray of light leading to safety. Her three strong points are: first, Do Right; second, Never Forsake a Friend; third, Have the Spirit of Forgiveness Nothing can, and nothing will ever separate us but the inevitable—Death. Our father was exactness itself. His motto was "To do right is no more than your every day duty, but when sister paid the last dollar on our new house to Hon. Frederick Douglass; father said: "Well done, good and faithful servant." No other has ever pleased her as much as those words coming from our first, strick Sire, unless it be this wonderful demonstration here tonight. "You think many good things of her but I know. I also know the half can never be told. My, sister, may this great gathering of friends with all said and done here, cheer you through your remaining years, and may you remember them, even to the gates of Heaven. For I love Mother, Home, and Heaven. They shall include you forever!" 10. Address on Miss Plummer's love for humanity, as shown by her loyalty to her own race, and showing her special fitness to inspire others to patriotism, was to have been made by Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, who could not come. 11. Remarks by invited guests were made by Rev. Dr. W. J. Howard, his good wife being present, Rev. Loving, Mr. Maxfield, and many, many others. 12. Church Summary by the pastor Rev. H. T. Gaskins was indeed eloquent. But the pastor excelled himself in the climax of his remarks when he declared that Miss Plummer's zeal and fitness, and faithfulness, and work—logically made her the Mother of the Church, succeeding her sister, Sarah Miranda Plummer-Clark, and thus making her eligible to all the Women's auxiliaries. Then Rev. Gaskins honored himself by calling her Organist Emeritus, for the long years of service as organist and leader of the Church Music. 13. Presentation was then made by the pastor—A large victrola costing $150 was given to Miss Plummer as a token of the great service rendered in sacred music for the Church and Sunday School, indeed every department of Church service especially the prayer meeting. The family presented her a gold watch, and chain symbolic of the fact that she is as good as gold to them. A large basket of roses and peonies was presented by Mr. Henry Wheeler, the decorator. The basket of flowers stands nearly as tall as the recipient and was larger than she! The flowers will fade, but that basket will be kept as long as she lives. A large bunch of peonies with verses attached was given by Mr. and Mrs. William Fountroy. Mr. Maxfield presented three books. Rev. and Mrs. Jasper, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. V. B. Holmes, and many, many others made presentations. Dozens, and dozens had "said it with dollars" until the committee was fully satisfied." 14. Response by Guest of Honor. For several moments Miss Plummer sat speechless with joyful gladness and when she could speak she said "Such a demonstration never was!" She made it plain to her hearers that it was useless for her to try to thank them for all she might say would fall short of expressing the joy and gladness in her heart. She poured out the contents of a thankful heart, and today she stands, and will ever stand deeply grateful. Grateful to all. Even to those who could not come she feels grateful for their good wishes, and even the smallest token sent or given she shall lock forever in her heart-chest of appreciation, and girdled with the love and sympathy of all who know, or who know of her, she will "carry on," serving mankind and glorifying God! Speaking further, Miss Plummer said, "The hardest thing an old teacher has to do is to keep from forcing lessons on unwilling ears. A lawyer before Judge and Jury must prove his point. First, If all that is being said, and done here tonight is not for the Glory of God, and to the honor of this, His Church, then a terrible mistake has been made. I shall prove that none of this honor belongs to me. My parents more by example than precept taught us that a good name is more to be chosen than great riches, (that was father), and loving kindness than silver and gold—(that was mother). Sister Miranda (founder of this church) literally acted out her Faith in God. Bro. Henry had a Word, and what ever he promised, was as good as done. Then came the Alden Tinker family, and Col. Bingham. Then Dr. G. M. P. King and those four glorious years of preparation at Wayland. Then the Quaker Heacock sisters at Orphan's Home, not forgetting our great friend, teacher, and pastor, Rev. F. G. Hall, Bro. Edward Minor, Bumry Holland, my loving twin brother, and a host of others. I wanted to be like all these. Hence if anything was said or done here, it was they who spoke, and acted through me. I've proven my point! Namely: the honor belongs to them and not to me. Now when only seven years of age, I dreamed that I was told that I should have a seat among the righteous, and cause the eyes of many to be opened. From then until now, I've tried never to forget my "seat," nor to lessen my opportunity to open mine eyes and soul. Tonight I find myself seated among the righteous, and my heart is filled with His glory! Mother led in singing "Happy New Year"—and for these forty-eight years that she has been gone we've sung it as best we could. One verse—"I come to tell you the Truth of my heart, I'm married to Jesus, and never hope to part. When 7 years old I took that vow that married me to Jesus—that is to my fellow-man through His Church. Now why my Mother, this church and you have delayed my "Wedding Reception" for fifty-six years, is a guess you must answer for yourselves, unless it was to test me, to prove me. Two of my bridemaids, faithful these fifty-six years, are with me tonight. I refer to my sister-in-law, Mrs. Fannie Plummer, and my own mother-sister, Mrs. Julia Plummer-Ruffin. In the year of 1887 I lost a brother-in-law whose dying words were: "Your kindness will never be forgotten!" Thus changed the whole trend of my life. I gradually came to the conclusion that I was indeed married to Jesus, and that my task THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE OS HOKUM UM IN HERE! YESSIR DID YOU W ABOUT A CARNEGIE SPECIAL SAVING was the begetting of immortal children. I'm tonight to report to heaven that many of my children, and grandchildren, are all about me here tonight, and that I have always done the best I could under the circumstances. I may be pardoned if I report also that during these long years of service I have never been late nor reprimanded at home, no church, nor school. Must I say "Thank You" from the youngest child here to the oldest person? O, how small "Thank You," is for this great ovation? Above all things I have cherished my freedom? Free to do as I choose! Tonight I give up my freedom, and willingly and gladly become your grateful slave! LISTEN, WORLD! Written and Illustrated by Elsie Robinson THANKSGIVING Not for the wealth that men may count Do I give thanks today, But for the truth I've chanced upon As I went on my way. I'm glad for tears which showed me need Of human sympathy, For failure and for foolishness Which taught me charity. I'm glad my work has let me know How other workers feel, That my own wounds have made we wish All other wounds might heal. I'm glad through poverty I've learned The falsity of things, That in my needy night I've heard The rush of deathless wings Which swept my spirit up and up To peaks where I could see The trail to peace that ready waits For all humanity. For I have found this truth at last, In all life's troubled span There is no greater good than this— To love your fellow-man. For only as you share his lot With generosity, Wil you grow fit to break your bonds And set your spirit free. So, not for wealth that men may count Do I give thanks today, But for the truth I've chanced upon As I went on my way. At this point, Rev. Gaskins, the pastor read a short history of Miss Plummer's life as follows: Personal History Miss N. A. Plummer was born, as was her twin brother, on September 7, 1860, at Woodland, Ellicott City, Md., near Baltimore. As much that might be interesting here, is told in a book containing the history of this church, I will proceed with the most important facts in her life. Many are looking forward to the book that is to be published soon, by this, our sister, who entered Wayland Seminary, under the great Dr. G. M. P. King, in September, 1875. Let me pause just her eto say, if this Church, has been progressive at all during these fifty-eight years, it has been largely due to Dr. King's influence, as are hundreds of other churehes in Maryland and Virginia. During her four years' course at Wayland our sister took especial interest in the theological classes and in music aside from her normal and academic training. Her choir work was directed by a master, Mr. Thos. H. Williams of St. Augustine's Church, in the prime of Madam Agnes Smallwood. So marked was her progress in music that she was selected to travel as a Jubilee singer to raise funds for the building of Parker Hall, annex to Wayland. She graduated in 1878 and left school in 187 to teach at Forrestville, Md. The next year she taught at Cross Roads, Md. In Septmeber, 1882, taught at Round Hill, Va., January 1, 1883, was appointed to Orphan's Home Public School and remained there thirty-six years. In 1919, she went to Bruce School from which she was retired December 31, 1922. Thus a record of forty-five years as teacher closed. During all these forty-five years, her zeal for and interest in the church never abated but grew apace. In the earlier days when the mis- SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 WRITE THIS GOOF GETTING A MEDAL WITH MENTION FOR A DROWNING PERSON? I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN' ELSE BUT! sionary society was not so flourishing as now, the great F. H. Smith and Bankages of the white Presbyterian church use to visit once in two or three months to render what assistance they could. On one of these visits finding this, our sister working on such a high plane, Mr. Smith said, "Miss Plummer, you are worth your weight in gold, here," and they never came again. Once Rev. Dailey said, "Miss Nellie, you are a choir in yourself." Scores of relatives and friends can now testify that her untiring efforts and zealous influence helped them to see the marvelous "Light of the Gospel." A public servant does not always get praise. One sometimes becomes very great, but for some trifling thing is dropped out of our memory. So it is significant and worthy of notice that this sister has through long years rendered such service that home, church, school and community really appreciate her efforts is evidenced here tonight. After the benediction an impromtu reception was held and many congratulations given. It would take an extra reporter to describe the beautiful repast that was spread in the lecture-room. Surely every member of the church and community must have worked together for success. The church, through its committee, Mrs. Hattie Moss, Fortune, chairman, deserves unstinted praise for the perfect accomplishment of so grand a Testimonial. Too much credit could not be given to the mistress of ceremonies, Mrs. M. F. Wigginton-Brown, whose dignity in presiding was success in itself. As she was responsible for the invitations, I most heartily agree with her that the Church has more than honored itself by tendering this Testimonial to one who has given "full measure, pressed down, and running over." Music followed at this point followed by the reading of Verse sayings indicative of Miss Plummer's true character:— Verse Savings: "You are worth your weight in gold here, Miss Nellie."—Mr. F. H. Smith. "What if you had not been educated and tempered with the love of Christ?"—Dr. G. M. P. King. "Did you ever shake hands with "Did you ever shake hands with her?"—Mr. J. R. Moss. "Miss Nellie, you are a choir in yourself."—Rev. J. H. Dailey. "Fame does not count,—but what begets fame,"—Truth, Love, Others!"—Rev. G. W. Moore. In a few last remarks, Miss Plummer said, "To my beloved Church I want to say; Forget everything else but do not forget the influence of Dr. King that has brought us up to where we are. To forget that influence would be ingratitude. "My object in retiring before being entirely broken down in health, was to be able to write the story of my father's life, which means the History of of St. Paul's Baptist Church, Bladensburg, Md." As the friends filed slowly from the church I was reminded of the beautiful words of Thomas Grey:— The Curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The weary herdsman homeward plods his way, And leaves the world to darkness, and to me. And Miss Plummer stepped forth with renewed vigor, and with a still stronger determination to follow fast the straight and narrow path hewn by her Sires, and with her will go the multitude who have come up under her guiding influence, holding high the Cross of Christ, and chanting ever as they go on and on—In Hoc Signo Vincees. Man's natural sympathy is with the under-dog. He is instinctively humanitarian. Ninety per cent of his philanthropy is directed toward the weak. A man will risk his life to get across a street when the traffic is against him and then stop on the other side to light a cigar.

For President Coolidge to address the graduates of Howard University at the Commencement was a commendable act on his part; and it was good politics; for he is the Republican candidate tor President in the election to be held this fall. But, Mr. Coolidge failed miserably in his address. He made the usual “year book statistical speech” that all white people think they must make before a colored audience in order to convince that audience that the speaker is sympathetically familiar with the progress of the Negro. It was a very poor speech and far below the dignity of a President of the United States, at a uni- versity commencement. If the President thinks as much of the Negro’s loyalty in the various wars of the United States as he endeavored to show to his audience at Howard University, why is it that the same ap- preciation does not extend to the Negro in the time of peace? Commendation by word of mouth is indeed hollow and meaning- less unless commendation is backed up with action. As President of the United States, Mr. Coolidge -has the authority and the power to demonstrate to the Negro whom he so highly commended, that the nation appreciates his lovalty and considers him a funda- nental factor in the upbuilding and progress of this great coun- try of ours. It is very hard for citizens to be told that their loyalty and worth is commendable even if it comes from the President of the United States, when that President fails to back up his commen- dations by action. How can I believe that you, Mr. President, really appreciate my loyalty and personal worth, when I am not permitted to vote in the national elections of my country; when I am deprived of equal opportunity before the laws of my country; when’ I am dis- criminated against at work as well as at play, in education as well as in Yeligion, in public transportation, public meetings, public libraries as well as public amusements and public eating houses; when I am held in abject slavery without protest by this same President who is commending my loyalty; when I am mobbed, burned and driven from my home without any recourse or any assistance from the President who commends me; when | am discriminated against and shunted aside in the governmental departments in the capital of my country, when you, Mr. Presi- dent, could issue an executive order that would eliminate this humiliating and disgraceful condition? “Do the day’s work,” Mr. President, and then your commendation will be more than “sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.” The N, A. A. C. P. wrote a letter to President Coolidge asking tor an expression from him on the Ku Klux Klan, to be read be- fore the national session to convene in Philadelphia, June 25th. Instead of answering that letter, the President sent a portion of his Howard Commencement speech. Thus he says by that act, that these are “my firmly held views” of the Negro for all occa- sions. He refused point blank to express his views on the K. K. K. and yet he expects Negroes to vote for him this fall. If the President has not the courage to expres himself on the Klan; he cannot blame the Negro for thinking that silence gives consent, and since, his Republican gubernatorial candidate in the State of Indiana is an avowed Klansman, by his silence, he endorses the Klan and must not be surprised at the Negro turning against a man running as the candidate of the party of Lincoln, who has not the moral courage to express himself on the lawless hooded, midnight, mobbing, murdering Klan. The Negro is looking for @ courageous, outspoken candidate when lawlessness is in ques- tion; not a sphinx. FIRPO AFFIXES SIGNATURE TO CONTRACT TO MEET WILLS Buenos Ayres, July 3, (P. N. S.)— Luis Angel Firpo, the Argentine heavyweight fighter and Juan Homs, representative of Tex Rickard, Friday afternoon signed the preliminary con- tract for a fight between Firpo and Hary Wills, the Panther of New Or- leans. The bout will take place in New York or New Jersey it is said sometime around Aug. 30. Under the contract, Firpo is gudranteed $100,000, with an option of 37% per cent of the gate receipts. NEW JERSEY COMMISSIONER APPROVED AGREEMENT Trenton, NJ. July 3, (P.N.S.)— Commissioner Newton A. N. Bugbee of the state athletic commission, ap- proved articles of agreement entered into between Firpo and Wills for their fight scheduled to be conducted at Boyle's Thirty Acres on August 30 It was announced that since the forthcoming match will lead to cham- pionship fight the promoters woul be permitted to charge a maximum fee of $25 for admission plus tax. The question, long in doubt, as to whether the New Jersey Commission would sanction mixed bouts was settled by Friday's announcement. FLOWERS AND ANDERSON TO FIGHT THURSDAY Atlanta, Ga., July 2, (P.N.S.)— With “Tiger” Flowers and Lee Ander- son, dangerous Bostonian both on the scent, interest in the fight here Thurs- day night grows. Both men are ‘among the cream of middleweights in the country and although Flowers has twice won the decision over Ander- son the New Englander has forced him to produce his best to gain the decision. A capacity crowd is looked for and the fireworks are sure to be brilliant. Both men are in the ‘proverbial’ pink of condition. LUIS FIRPO TO SAIL FOR UNITED STATES IULY ENCOURAGE THE MIGRANT TO VOTE Since the last Presidential election, more than a million and a half of Negroes have left the South for the North, East and West. ‘These new citizens in the North and East in particular, will prove a big factor in fifteen or more of the States in the coming No- vember election. Having come from States where many of them never cast a ballot, it is natural that they have little interest in the election. Therefore, the local leaders of the towns and cities to which the migrants came, will render them an invaluable ser- vice if they will begin early to interest them in their suffrage rights and inspire them with desire to exercise that right to the best of their ability. All of us possibly need a new birth of faith in our Government and its functions, in Congress and its power, in the President, if you please, and his duties, in the cabinet which he appoints and n the many bureau heads and their prerogatives. This new birth of faith will have to come from works, or service rendered. The Buenos Ayres, July 3, (P. N. 8.)— Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavy- weight, announced today that he had cabled Tex Rickard, New York pro- moter, for confirmation of Rickard’s acceptance of his conditions for a fight with Hary Wills. He said he had agreed to fight Wills on August 20, ir New York or vicinity and expected to sail for the United States July 5, Firpo declared that he was sincere when he announced his intention tc retire from the ring but that he had been greatly impressed by “Rickard’s promises of fair treatment and the pesuasive arguments of Juan Holmes, the promoter’s agent here, FOR SALE---House on T St. The Whitefield McKinlay Organization Rooms 20-21, 810 F STREET, N.WL Phone, Main 1387 If you will work for others as you would like others to work for you you'll never be out of a job. —— ais MOR. < LS Oi yeoee sy Nes 9) a # 5 Mh Y\ a0 MESS ya A YAS 7 Pa BAR A es “iy; ARY TAA ~ Qe BYE YEN Be SI RAIT-T TRADEMARK HAS ENJOYED SUCH UNEX- PECTED SUCCESS IN THE PAST YEAR THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO ADD A FEW MOREBEAUTIFYING PREP- ARATIONS TO OUR LIMIT- ED BUT EFFECTIVE LINE The following is our complete list Strait-Tex Hair Refining Tonic Strait-Tex Hair Grower Bsc Not only. promotes growth, of the Gloss-Tex Brilliantine i Srggaeheobrieristin Pee Woven hea eters etd Caco witout iver itoly'& sammy.

"Oh! Papa; just what I wanted, a real printing press." Thus spoke a lad of twelve years on Christmas morning in 1898. His brothers and sisters had received various toys and games, but they had little of interest to him. Theirs were only "play-things," but his looked like something real and useful. The outfit was soon gotten into shape. In a few minutes (with the help of his father, who, in his younger days had worked as a printer in a country shop) he had a "job" on the press—some cards bearing his own THE SHOP FORCE at the Murray 7th Street, N.W. name and announcing himself as a "job printer." Within an hour the young "printer" was talking "shop" and before the day was over (having gotten a pay job from a neighbor) he was planning a business. Twenty-five years have passed. And the "lad" who received the little press as a Christmas gift is now manager of the firm—"Murray Brothers Printing Company, Incorporated." The business has expanded from the little hand-operated press, card-size, with its miniature outfit—the whole costing less than five dollars—to a plant comprising everything necessary for an up-to-date book and job printing establishment employing 14 persons. The plant is equipped with all modern appliances and accessories of the printing trade. Gradually the very thing developed which the father had hoped for from the beginning—a business which would include all of the sons in one firm. It cannot be stated just when each brother took definite hold of the work or became an integral part of the firm. The name "Murray Brothers" was adopted about eighteen years ago; the firm then consisting of F. Morris, the manager, (then about nineteen years of age), Raymond H., and Norman D.

Up to this time the plant had been located in Alexandria, Va.: first in a corner of the living room, then in successive outbuildings and improved sheds on the back lot. About 1903, a move was made into a one-story building, formerly used as a dwelling. Very shortly after this move into the larger quarters, the brothers who were attending Howard University, felt they could see bright prospects in their chosen business, and therefore stopped school (Raymond H., having graduated from the Commercial College of Howard University) to devote their plant when they were located at 1733 entire time and energies to the development, of their little business. Fortunately, the manager of the firm had, or soon developed, exceptional business tact and foresight and a capacity for detail. Moreover, he had an exceptionally artistic eye and discriminating taste. Gradually these qualities were more or less acquired by the brothers. As the business expanded; as machinery and appliances of increasing size and complexity were installed; as power and light equipment were necessarily changed from coal oil to gasoline, to gas and to electricity; and when division of work and supervision became imperative, the brothers each developed a surprising, almost providential, talent and aptitude in handling the separate mechanical, supervisory and managerial requirements. In 1904 a branch office was opened in a room at 609 F Street, Northwest, Washington, a member of the firm devoting his time to this new field. In a little less than three years the business in this field had so developed that it was decided to move the entire plant to Washington. The location at 1733 7th Street, Northwest, was secured and in the summer of 1907 the move was made.

NEWS Alexandria Agency 812 Madison St. Phone, 1398-J A joint meeting of representatives of the Alumni Association of the former Hallowell and Snowden Schools and the surviving trustees of the First Free School Association (Colored) was held at the residence of F. H. M. Murray on Monday night. The object of the meeting was to determine what action should be taken concerning the disposal of the plots of ground formerly occupied by the above-named schools. It was decided that the trustees be requested to take whatever steps may be requisite to deed the properties to the School Board in order that they may be sold to reimburse the city in part for the expenditures made for the present Parker-Gray School property, which, it was estimated by Mr. White, principal of the school, to be upward of $60,000. It was decided to request the city Council to use as much of the proceeds as could be spared, to improve the approaches to the school and the surroundings. The surviving trustees present were Washington N. Jackson, Jas. W. Lumpkins, F. H. M. Murray, and Edmund Hill. Other surviving trustees are Shadrack Jackson, and R. W. Bentley, and James Ross, now a resident of Washington. Rev. Julius L.

The class was composed of Mr. Herbert P. Tancil, Miss Ellen Dixon, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fields. The All-Stars lost to the slow traveling Buffalooes Sunday. The final score was 8-3. This makes Alexandria retain seventh place in the Union League standing. An advertisement appeared during the week stating that the Lafayettes would play at Green Valley Station, Va., on July 4th. This statement was not authorized by the local team. The Lafayettes lost to the Georgetown Athletics on Sunday, 13 to 9. This makes five wins for the locals boys, and two defeats. The manager of the Lafayette baseball team issued the following statement this week: "The Lafayette Athletic Club expresses its regret that we have been compelled, by force of circumstances, to cause our patrons and visiting teams to endure such long and tiresome periods of waiting on the North Alfred Street grounds to see our games." Our own playing field is nearing completion and we can now invite the baseball loving public our friends and visiting teams to our own grounds, bounded by Madison, Montgomery, Fayette and Payne Streets, where we will begin our Sunday games promptly at 3 p.m. "While we cannot offer you at present the comforts of a grand stand we are preparing to provide seats on our grounds and we hope in the near future to be able to offer as many comforts as our circumstances will warrant. "From time to time we propose to add to our equipment until we shall have a field which we hope will be both comfortable and convenient to all who has given us their generous support in the past, and whom we hope will continue to manifest their interest in our efforts to furnish good games.
