First in Local Circulation.
Attorney Th
Recognition For
Is Given Veter
Assigned
Attorney Thomas L. Jones, well known member of the local bar, was appointed Assistant District Attorney by United States Attorney General Sargent, Wednesday, June 17th. Attorney Jone's name was certified to the Attorney General by District Attorney Peyton several weeks ago. He was sworn in Wednesday and assigned to the Police Court to prosecute traffic and liquor cases. He began his duties Wednesday afternoon. Attorney Jones is one of the oldest members in point of service before the local bar. He is a graduate of the Law Department of Howard University class of 1892.
During his practice here he has been connected with many celebrated cases. At one time he was a law partner with the late John M. Langston.
In politics, Attorney Jones is a Coolidge Republican. He was an active campaigner in the last election. He was delegate to the last Republican National Convention.
The selection of Attorney Jones for this post, the first recognition given a local man, was made from a field of nearly ten men. However, he was not selected without opposition. Shortly after his name was certified to be Attorney General, protests were filed by Prof. John R. Hawkins and Emmett J. Scott, both prominent in Republican circles. However, the opposition was not sufficient to prevent his appointment.
Attorney Jones came to Washington from Virginia where he was at one time in state politics. In 1898 he was a candidate for Congress from the 4th District. He served as Commissioner of Revenue and Chairman of the Republican County Committee.
In 1921 Attorney Jones was a candidate for the Rent Commission. His name has also been mentioned for appointment to other responsible offices.
Besides his law practice, Attorney Jones is prominent in fraternal circles. He is an active member of Columbia Lodge of Elks and several other fraternalities.

JIM-CROW GOLF COURSE FACTOR IN FIGHT ON SEGREGATION
The colored residents of Washington present a complex study in psychology—that is some of them; but that number includes financiers, physicians, pharmacists, college professors, lawyers, real estate dealers, architects; in fact, the whole gamut of the so-called better element.
Play "Jim Crow" Golf
Casting aside their much vaunted self-respect, men high in business and professional circles have adopted "jim crow" golf as a sport and are submitting gleefully to segregation on account of race and are making ineffective the protests of others against other forms of segregation and discrimination.
There are not less than six public golf courses in the District of Columbia. They are in public parks and are maintained by the Government. There is one eighteen-hole course in East Potomac Park, a nine-hole course in Rock Creek Park, two nine-hole courses in West Potomac Park, one nine-hole course at the Lincoln Memorial, and one practice course on the polo field. Only one of these, however, the nine-hole course at the Lincoln Memorial, is open to colored persons.

HUBBARD MAKES RECORD JUMP
HUBBARD MAKES RECORD JUMP
Chicago, June 14.—Competing for the last time under the maize and blue colors of the University of Michigan, De Hart Hubbard, one of the most versatile of college athletes, shattered the world's record in the running broad jump with a leap of 25 feet 10 7-8 inches at the national collegiate track meet at Stagg Field yesterday.
This remarkable jump was the outstanding feature of the national collegiate and field meet, which drew the flower of America's collegiate stars into competition to decide the individual championship of the 1925 season.
Hubbard's leap was a fitting climax to his career as a college athlete. He had reached the end of his trials. Not wanting failure to end his intercollegiate career, he took off his sweater, and got away to a perfect start, cleared the take off with perfect form and sent his body hurling through space, kicking his legs in scissors fashion just before the feet hit the earth.
The jump shattered the record made by Bob LeGendre of Georgetown University in the Olympic games in Paris last season. Le Gendre's record was 25 feet 6 3-16 inches. Hubbard smashed this record by 4 and 11-16 inches. In one of his early jumps Hubbard had leaped 25 feet 3 7-8 inches. It was the tenth time that he had cleared the 25-foot mark, a performance previously achieved only twice by two other athletes, Ned Gourdin and Le Gendre.
Before making his record-breaking jump, Hubbard established the 100-yard dash from a brilliant field in 0.09 4-5. His performance bettered the record of the meet by one-tenth of a second.
Professors Locke, Brown, Lochard and Thornton are Dropped from Howard
Serious Charges Are Made Against Officials of Vets Hospital at Tuskegee
Professor Alonzo H. Brown, A.B., A.M., Professor of Mathematics; Professor Alaine LeRoy Locke, A.B., Litt.B., Ph.D., professor of Philosophy; Prof. Metz Tullus Paul Lochard, B es L., B es D., assistant professor of French and Professor Orlando C. Thornton, S.B.; instructor in Finance, were dismissed from Howard University's faculty this week. Notice of their dismissal were received by these men Wednesday, June 17th. The dismissal of these men is supposed to have been made in conformity with the reorganization report made by Prof. Leonard of Columbia University. In this report Prof. Leonard stated that the eliminating of over lapping of work, would permit the University of dispense with ten instructors. It is under this section that the four men have come. However, if this is true, it leaves a question as to why the executive committee did not name the other six men.
When the official announcement was made, the men named were more surprised than any one else. Only a week before, according to statements made to a Tribune reporter, some of these men had asked President Durkee about the story in the papers relative to their dismissal; they were informed by the President that it was all propaganda and was not true.
Because of the circumstances surrounding the dismissals and the fact that no notice whatever was given them, the dismissed men appear very much chagrined.
In only one case has the reorganization affected the department of the professors dismissed and that is in Professor Thornton's, who was in the School of Commerce. This school has been discontinued. The other men were in departments that must necessarily be enlarged if the reorganization program is carried out.
Professor Brown, head of the Department of Mathematics and one of the men dismissed, has been an instructor in this course at Howard for sixteen years. He is the oldest in point of service in the department. He has a family and a home here. He had the rank of a full professor.
Professor Locke, instructor in Philosophy and considered one of the race's leading scholars, has been at Howard for fourteen years and also had the rank of a full professor. Professor Lockard, a native of
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 17 (Special)—A shake-up in the administrative office of the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans located here is likely to result from an investigation into its conduct made by Dr. Charles M. Griffith of the Veterans Bureau, Washington, D.C., upon sensational charges made by W. L. Jones, chief engineer, utilities office, of the hospital.
Tuskegee Dominated
The whole trouble, it is claimed, lies in the domination of the hospital and its administrative officers by Tuskegee Institute officials. In fact, Mr. Jones specifically charged that the hospital is run as an adjunct of Tus-
France and a graduate of the University of Paris, has been an instructor in French at Howard for eight years. Most of these men had been signed to teach in Summer School this year. They were signed only recently. Some had passed up other opportunities for work in order to teach at Howard. Now they are left without work and it is too late to secure any. The General Alumni Association according to some of its members, is greatly incensed over the action as are also a large number of students. Spokesmen of the Alumni Association and Student Council were emphatic that these men were dropped because the administration disliked their exercising their academic freedom. The fight for better salaries waged by the faculty last year, it is stated, caused many instructors to be put on the so-called black list.
The recent students' strike is cited as another case where some teachers disagreed with the administration's program and thereby won its dislike. Therefore, these spokesmen said, they were positive these professors were being dismissed not because of the reorganization, but because they had refused to go along with the administration. It was further stated that the dismissal of these men is supposed to serve as a warning to the other members of the faculty that unless they think less of academic freedom and more of the administration's program, they too, will be dismissed. The plan to retire Dean Geo. W. Cook this year was changed this week by the executive committee. The committee stated that the retirement act be construed as applying to the year of 1925-26, to take effect June 30th, 1926. The committee further stated that the effect of this decision is to place all teachers on a year's notice. The executive committee also changed that part of the reorganization report affecting Dean Kelly Miller. Instead of being given field work, he will retain his professorship in the Department of Sociology at a salary of $3,500 a year, same as that of dean. In as much as the committee recognized the necessity of a year's notice before retiring teachers, it is pointed out that this same procedure would be the just and logical thing to do in the case of dismissing full professors.
According to reports current here the General Alumni Association is now planning to ask for a Congressional investigation of the whole University.
kegee Institute and that its policy, if it has any, is being dictated by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Albion L. Holsey, secretary to Major Moton.
The hospital scandal here is similar to that which Congress investigated at the Veterans hospital at Perryville, Md., but is lesser in degree. Larceny and petty graft are charged to have been practiced here on a smaller scale than that practiced at the Perryville and other Veterans Bureau hospitals.
Higher-Ups Involved
The persons who are said to be involved in this investigation and who may be dismissed as a result, are Dr. Joseph H. Ward, medical officer in (Continued on page 5)

BLANTON WANTS SEGREGATION IN WADING POOLS
In a letter to Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, in charge of public buildings and parks, Representative Thomas H. Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, protested against the dismantling of the Tidal Basin bathing beach.
He asserted that the entire rumpus over the bathing beach was caused by attempts to force "white and colored people to bathe in the same pool." He also scored Col. Sherrill for permitting colored children under 12 years of age to use the same fountains with white children.
The following excerpts are from his letter:
"The people have the right to know just what is the trouble. For several years this Tidal Basin Beach has furnished helpful enjoyment to Washington's thousands. Then you attempted to establish the colored bathing beach there, and Force white and colored people to bathe in the same pool. This naturally raised a rumpus. And such a proposal will always raise a rumpus. White people in Washington are not going to bathe in the same pool with colored people. And the sensible, self-respecting of the colored race in Washington don't ask it. And because certain members of the committee on Appropriations wouldn't agree to appropriate more money for the colored beach in the same pool with the white people, a few politicians on the Committee refused also to appropriate any money for the white beach, and then inserted the clause in the appropriation bill appropriating $10,000 for dismantling it, but there was no legislative direction given to dismantle it. Even if you and Mr. Madden prevent the white people from using the Tidal Basin Beach this summer, you will not bring about mixed bathing of white and colored races in the same pool, for I predict that Congress will never ordain such action. It has consistently stood for separate schools, separate play-grounds, separate theatres, separate hotels and separate cafes. And as soon as Congress meets, I intend to push legislation to prevent the dismantling of Tidal Basin Beach, but make it a permanent institution.
"I note, however, that you have opened up all of the public fountains of the city to children under 12 years of age, with no limitations. During the past few days I have driven from one to another, and witnessed white children and colored children in the fountains together. I presume that is a sacrifice publicly made to the politician Gods of mixed bathing. But I didn't see the children of any Senator or Congressman forming the color scheme. And I didn't see the children of any Colonel or other army officer there rubbing knees with dusky companions. I commend you for opening all fountains to the little children, but I predict that when Congress gets through condemning you for not restricting certain fountains to the use of white children, and certain others to the use of colored children, you will decide that you probably made a mistake."

The last hope for the reopening of the Tidal Basin bathing beach died Tuesday.
Hopes for the reopening of the Tidal Basin bathing beach for whites only went agilimering on Monday when it became known that Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committee, had burned thumbs down on the proposal for its reopening and the establishment of a "jim crow" bathing beach at some other location.
Executive Order Only Hope
The one forlorn hope remaining for public bathing facilities this summer was in the probability of President Coolidge recognizing an emergency and issuing an executive order. This did not happen. It would be an extension of segregation in the national capital and the President would not assume responsibility for such, in view of the numerous protests of colored voters throughout the country against that which already exists here.
It was learned at the White House Monday that the President has thoroughly reviewed the situation and has come to the conclusion that the beach cannot be reopened without a violation of the statute.
It was stated that the President feels that the law is explicit and that the matter is virtually a closed incident.
Newspaper men were advised last Friday at the White House that the President believes that public bathing facilities should be afforded the residents of the District of Columbia and that he would be glad to do everything in his power to make this possible, but unfortunately he is at a loss to know just what he can do.

The Auxiliaries were addressed by the Moderator. A chorus of 50 voices directed by Mr. R. M. Goodloe, Chorister of the Mt. Bethel B. Y. P. U. Convention, Mrs. Lottie Moore, Chorister of Mt. Carmel B.

DEAN HOLMES BRANDS CERTAIN PRESS STORIES FALSE D. O. W. Holmes, dean of the school of education of Howard University, which has been enlarged into a college of education, in a statement to the press, branded as wholly untrue the report that he had been reduced in rank and offered a professorship as the result of a survey of Howard University by R. J. Leonard of the school of education of Columbia University. In his statement, Dean Holmes says: "Under the reorganization, the school of education has had its scope extended so as to include under its administration the first two years of college and its name changed to the college of education. Under the former organization students preparing to teach did not enter the school of education until their third year in college. Under the new organization, students preparing to teach will enroll in the college of education as soon as they enter college in the freshman year.
"In addition, those students preparing to teach, who formerly registered in other schools of the university, will be expected to register in the college of education. For example, students planning to be teachers of music and those planning to be teachers of home economics have formerly registered in the schools of music and applied sciences respectively. Such students will now be registered in the college of education.
"It was this distribution of teacher-training activities among several schools that was unfavorably criticized by the expert who reported to the trustees and not the efficiency of the work of the school of education within the scope of its former operation. The changes, so far as they touch the college of education, are exactly in accord with recommendations made by the dean of the school of education prior to the visit to the university of the expert investigator. "It is wholly untrue that the dean of the school of education has been reduced in rank and offered a professorship. The fact is that he has held a full professorship in the university for six years and is now the dean of the college of education with a larger rather than a more restricted function than formerly."

Logan, St. Cyprian third baseman, also played stellar ball but marred his fielding record by dropping a throw from Slade in the first game. Reynolds of the All-Stars, made two mostly errors in the fifth frame which served up the game for the Saints. Slade fractured his left leg in the

ARLINGTON ELKS WIN DOUBLE
BILL
The Arlington Elks won a twin bill Sunday, June 14, at their field. The first victims were the Mt. Pleasant Stars of Washington, the score being 25 to 4. Walker pitched for the Elks. He had little trouble as the team stepped out in the first inning and scored 12 runs, driving the Star's pitcher to the cover and then they scored merry on the offerings of the second moundsman, Jones. W. Pollard and Washington were the stars of the game.
The Elks then played a game with a gilded team from Washington, which was to play the Arlington Giants, and even this game by a score of 8 to 7. Fisher on the mound, was wild and made lots of trouble for the fielders, and kept himself working hard to keep from being scored on. W. Polkard, Minor, Washington, and Fisher were the stars.

HARRISBURG GIANTS WIN FROM
HILLDALE
Harrisburg, June 16—A wild throw by Clint Thomas from left field following Gistentaner's single in the seventh inning permitted Jordan to score the winning run in a hotly-contested game, the Giants scoring a victory over the Hilldale team, 3 to 2.
Gistentaner shaded Winters in a close hurling duel, but Winters aided his own cause by collecting two doubles out of the five hits garnered by the Philadelphiaians.
Rapp Dixon put the Harrisburg team out in front in the third inning when his drive to center field eluded George Johnson's grasp and went for a home run with Jenkins on first.

DeHart Hubbard, University of Michigan athlete, will claim a high place when the history of the 1925 field and track season and its wonderful athletic achievements is written. He wound up his intercollegiate career in the National Collegiate Athletic Association meet in Chicago last Saturday with a supreme effort that shattered the world's record for the running broad jump. He set the mark at 25 feet 10 7-8 inches, which is likely to stand the assaults of many years. Hubbard will go down as one of the greatest college athletes of all time.
DEHART HUBBARD
There's nothing much that I can say—
But my, how I've been thinking
'Bout how you made that record jump
And set the world a blinking;
You just hauled off and did your stuff
As easy as religion—
That noise 'bout Gendre's leap would stand
You sent into oblivion.
They say 5,000 voices swelled
Into one mighty echo
As to all previous records, lad,
You gave a mighty death blow.
You did it in true Hubbard style,
Clean, fair and right decisive—
You've got a victry stuck to you
As close as fresh adhesive.
That twenty five, ten-seven-eighths Will stand for quite a time, sir, So for you—in my weak way I'm making up a rhyme, sir. Excuse my little effort, lad, But I can't help from rooting That's why my little horn, my lad, For you I'm wildly tooting.

Eastern League Commissioners Meet
Philadelphia, Pa., June 15—The Commission of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball clubs met at the Christian Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Geo. Robinson, Jim Keenan, Hammond Daniels, Chas. Spedden, Colonel Strothers and Chairman Ed. Bolden attended the meeting.
The owners voiced their approval of the rotating umpire system adopted this season. Instructions have been given to the umpires to enforce strict discipline, conduct the games as speedily as possible and inflict penalties laid down by the Commission whenever necessary. A fine of twenty-five dollars will be imposed on any player banished from a game, a second offense will draw a fifty dollar penalty and succeeding ones will liable the player to an indefinite suspension, Umpire baiting and attacks upon the arbitrators carry a hundred dollar fine and drastic action by the Commission.
Due to the failure of the Bacharach Giants to live up to an agreement effected between the Atlantic City organizatoin and the Lincoln Giants, Oliver Marcell, widely known and clever third baseman, goes back to ganization and the Lincoln Giants, Early in May, Jim Kenan handed over Marcell to the Bacharach Giants for pitchers Roy Roberts and John Harper. Harper, whose home is in Durham, North Carolina refused to report to the Atlantic City team this spring. When the exchange was made, pitcher Savage was sent along with Roberts to the Lincoln Giants until the Bacharach's produced Harper. The North Carolina pitcher turned a deaf ear to the entricates from Atlantic City, with the result that Ollie Marcell will return to the Bronx and Roy Roberts has already been sent back to Atlantic City.
A protest lodged by the Baltimore Black Sox of a game played at Harrisburg was tabled for the next meeting.

Theatrical Notes
ZANE GREY'S "THUNDERING HERD" COMING TO THE BROADWAY
Starting Sunday, until Monday, the greatest American romance since the "Covered Wagon," Zane Grey's "Thundering Herd" will be the attraction at the Broadway Theatre with such stars as Jack Holt, Lois Wilson, Noah Berry, and Raymond Hatton. The picture fans know just what to expect in advance—many exciting features fall to the lot of those hardy, red-blooded pioneers and the picture faithfully depicts their hardships and privations. Aside from its historical appeal it is noteworthy for its technical excellence. Last but not least we need not tell you one word of Zane Grey as a writer.
On Tuesday, Clarie Windsor and Adolphe Benjou in "For Sale."
Wednesday and Thursday, Mrs. Wallace Reid in "Broken Laws." Every mother and father in the city should see this wonderful object lesson. The week will end on Friday and Saturday with Viola Dana and Pat O'Malley in "The Beauty Prize."
REPUBLIC THEATRE
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, June 21, 22, 23 and 24—"Recompense," the sensational sequel to "Simon Called Peter" and the outstanding film of the season will be the attraction at the Republic on this date. "Recompense" is the price two lovers paid for a few short hours of forbidden happiness. It is a pulsating drama, running the gamut of human emotion, jumping in its action from the exciting times of Armistice Day in Paris, down to the velds of Africa, and then to the picturesque Limehouse District of London. Monte Blue has the role of Peter, and Marie Prevost, that of Julie.
Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26—Rin-Tin-Tin the wonder dog, in Owen Davis' strong play of sea adventure "The Lighthouse by the Sea." Never has a canine actor shown the ability to act as does Rin-Tin-Tin in this great picture.

Serious Charges are Made Against Officials
(Continued from page 1) charge; Dr. F. A. Stokes, executive officer; Walter S. Burke, business executive; P. H. Rooney, property custodian; J. H. Calhoun, Jr., acting chief clerk; Miss Esther J. Bullock, chief nurse, and Miss Amelia J. Gears, assistant chief nurse.
It is charged that Dr. Ward, through the Tuskegee Institute influences, has been despotic in his rule of the Government hospital. It is claimed that persons who did not approve of whatever Dr. Ward and his henchmen were trying to do, were either dismissed or demoted.
In the charges filed with the Veterans Bureau, Mr. Jones charged Dr. Ward with inability to manage an institution of this magnitude, with a lack of foresight and a continual neglect of his duties, leaving important matters in the hands of incompetent subordinates and spending his time socializing and riding around the country at the expense of the Government.
He further charged that the moral atmosphere at the hospital is very low and no effort is made to remedy this condition except in the case of very menial employees. He cites an instance of the property custodian filling the gasoline tank of an officer's car, making issue slips and charging the gasoline to Government vehicles. It is also charged that Tuskegee Institute has been permitted to use a large amount of Government transportation in doing private hauling. It is charged that the property custodian is more than a year behind with his records and will never be able to master the work. It is said that Captain McChesney recommended his dismissal to the commanding officer, but instead of this recommendation being carried out, the salary of the property custodian was increased. It is claimed that the commanding officer has accepted food from the dietary department, for which he did not pay. This charge, it is said, was proved by his dietary bills and six kitchen employees who told of the numerous trips made to his quarters with pies, cakes, ham and ice cream and other edibles, none of which were charged to his account.
It was proved, it is claimed, that station labor was used for the erection of private garages on Government property in the face of a central order prohibiting such.
It was also charged and, it is claimed, proved that certain administrative officers had ordered the farm manager to deliver spring chickens and eggs to their homes from the Government chicken houses. This was proved, it is said, by A. B. Yates, farm manager, and one of his assistants, who made these deliveries.
As a result of the investigation into these charges, an air of uncertainty exists, but it is freely pericted that there will be some changes made in the administrative personnel of the hospital. Official action at Washington is awaited.
PUPILS OF MRS. FANTROY
SCORE
The pupils of Mrs. Eunice Thompson Fantroy, a recent graduate of Oberlin Conservatory, were heard in piano recital Monday evening, June 15 at the New Bethel Baptist Church. Although the weather was unusually warm, the audience remained in their seats until after the last number had been played and the address and presentations completed. This absorbing interest was due to the splendid program given. The compositions were wisely selected from both the old masters and modern composers and the result was a rich, well-balanced pro-

Of course this is just one of the very very many reasons why Negro girls and boys should study, and study diligently.
In the near future we will demand a group of producers. To produce well one must have a well founded knowledge of what he attempts to produce. A producer cannot be a half-way, hap-hazard person. He must be exact with the exactness of a trained well informed master of his particular line of enterprise.

To get those pictures of white faces from the walls of Negro homes means that a generation of Negroes must devote time, energy, and money to the production of something to take their places. Negro art by Negroes for Negroes will not be an intrusion upon the general and broad principle that art is not of a group of people but is universal. Even so, would it not be nice to see pictures of little black and brown tots, busts of Negro men and women in prominent places in our homes?

A TRIBUNE SCRAPBOOK
Through the agencies of nature, God is working, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to keep us alive, to build up and restore us. When any part of the body sustans injury, a healing process is at once begun; nature's agencies are set at work to restore soundness. But the power working through these agencies is the power of God. All life-giving power is from Him. When one recovers from disease, it is God who restores him.
If there are certain features or special articles in the Children's Page it appeal to you, you would do well obtain a blank book and paste them it. You could also look about for large bound volume that no one nts, and paste your clippings in it. the printing in the book is wider in your clippings, you can get e, or deep red tissue paper, and ste over the book-printing and it l make a neat border which will e your book a neat appearance. ways note dates of papers you cut appings from and make note of it a page in the back of your book. mber each clipping and you can easily refer to it by glancing at an ex which you can place either in nt or the back.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925
BOYHOOD OF SEBASTIAN
GOMEZ
Nearly three hundred and fifty years ago, in the city of Seville, lived one of the greatest Spanish painters—Bartolome Esteban Murillo. Many beautiful pictures painted by this master adorn the palaces of the Old World, while a few may be found in the possession of wealthy art-lovers upon this side of the water.
In the church of Seville one may see four beautiful paintings—one, a picture of Christ bound to a column, St. Peter in a kneeling posture at His feet, as if imploring pardon; another, a superb painting of St. Joseph; one of St. Ann; and a fourth, an exquisite picture of the Virgin Mother holding the infant Jesus in her arms. These paintings are largely sought for and long gazed upon by all art-lovers who visit Spain, and are particularly admired by artists for their truthful beauty, delicate tints, and natural coloring.
But they are not Murillo's.
These noble pictures, the pride and glory of Seville today, were conceived and executed by a mulatto, Sebastian Gomez, who was once a slave, then the pupil and in time the peer of his illustrious high-minded master.
The childhood of Sebastian Gomez was one of servitude. His duties were many and constant. He was required to grind and mix color used by the young senors, who came at the early hour of six in the morning to take their lessons in drawing and painting in the studio of the great Murillo; to prepare and stretch canvas, run errands, and be ready at all times to answer, the capricious demands of these high-born and imperious youths. The poor mulatto boy had, however, in addition to a generous heart and amiable temper, a quick wit, bright intellect, and willing hands. His memory also was excellent; he was not without judgement, and what was better than all, he was gifted with the power of application.
Intellect, wit, memory, judgement are all good endowments, but none of these will lead to excellence, if one has not a habit of industry and steady application.
Sebastian Gomez, at the age of fifteen, found himself capable, not only of admiring, but also of appreciating the work of the pupils who wrought in his master's studio.
At times he even fancied that he could detect errors and blemishes which they failed to note in their studies.
It chanced sometimes, that he would drop a hint of his thoughts, when handling a maul-stick, or moving an easel for some artist student.
"How droll it is that the sly young rogue should be so nearly correct in his criticisms!" one of the pupils would perhaps remark, after overhearing some quiet suggestion of the mulatto lad.
"Aye, One would think the slave a connoisseur," would laugh another.
"Truly, it was owing to a cunning hint of his that my St. Andrew's arm was improved in the foreshortening."
"It was Gomez who detected first the harshness in my coloring of this St. Catherine's hands, and noted the false curve of the lower lip. The lad has the true eye for color, and in truth he seems to guess at form as readily as some of his betters."
Such were the remarks that often followed the lad's exit, as the young senors lightly commented upon his criticisms. There came a time, however, when the poor mulatto received from their lordly lips far other than light comment.
One day, a student who had been for a long time at work upon a "Descent from the Cross," and who, but the previous day, had effaced from the canvas an unsatisfactory head of the Mater Dolorosa, was struck dumb with surprise at finding in its place a lovely sketch of the head and face he had so labored to perfect. The miracle—for miracle it seemed—was inquired into, and examination proved that this exquisite head, which Murillo himself owned that he would have been proud to have painted, was the secret work of the little slave Gomez. So closely had he listened to his great master's instructions to the pupils, so retentively stored them in his mind, and so industriously worked upon them while others slept—his custom being to rise at three in the morning and paint until five—that he, the servant of the young artists, had become, unconsciously to himself as to them, an artist also. Murillo upon discovering the genius of Sebastian, was enraptured, and declared that the young lad should be in his sight a slave no longer, but a man, his pupil and an artist.
"Other masters leave to posterity only pictures," exclaimed the glad master, "I shall bequeath to the
25
TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE
1. I will never use the word "bigger."
2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race.
3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander.
4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race.
READ NEWSPAPERS
This isn't a plea for you to read the Tribune—but an honest-to-goodness plea to you to read some newspaper. Keep up with the times. Read, read, read. Many people can not discuss a thing after they have read it but it is better to know what others are talking about in the matter of current events even if you can not discuss them.
Take part of your play time and read a paper every day. Don't look for the jokes and comics and ignore the news and editorials. Read the news first then the other articles. Be alert, be alive, know the things of today as well as learn the things of past days from your histories. Remember that every event today goes to make up the history of tomorrow. Too, read some good publication edited for and by the race. This is the only way many things pertaining to the progress of the race can be learned.
Form a habit of reading daily and in reading try to understand what you read and do not feel "too knowing" to ask concerning the things you do not understand.
LET HIM KNOW IT
When a fellow pleases you
Let him know it!
Can't you give the plan a trial? It is sure to bring a smile.
And that makes it worth the while
Let him know it.
You are pleased when any one
Let's you know it.
When the man who thinks 'Well done
Lets you know it;
For it gives you added zest
To bring out your very best
Just because some mortal blest
Lets you know it.
When a fellow pleases you
Let him know it.
Why, it isn't much to do—
Let him know it.
It will cheer him all the day,
And he'll think his efforts pay;
If you like his work or way,
LAUGHTER
Laughter is an institution. Laugh not to insult, nor to be snobbish, nor to deride, but to enjoy and be happy. Some things are to be smiled at, some to be chuckled at, and some things are to be roared at; that is, small happenings which are humorous are to be smiled at; happenings or jokes which are funny are to be chuckled at; and happenings which are ridiculous are to be roared at, or to the person's full enjoyment. Sometimes also, one is forced to laugh, but that is only in critical positions, else a laugh be like a stage laugh an artificial thing.
Pessimism makes a gloomy man; boasting a foolish man; and laughter a pleasant man. Therefore if a man brood over things little, he must needs be wise and thoughtful; if he boast little, he must needs be brilliant, to cover up that which he does not do.
What it Means to be Boy
B-rave in the defense of my race;
O-bedient in the laws of my country;
Y-ielding to the best impluses within myself.
world a painter! Your name, Sebastian shall go down in posterity only in company with mine; your fame hall complete mine; coming ages when they name you, shall call you 'Murillo's Mulatto.'
He spoke truly. Throughout Spain today that artist who, of all the great master's pupils, most nearly equals him in all his varied excellences, is best known, not as Sebastian Gomez alone but as "Sebastian Gomez; the Mulatto of Murillo." Murillo had Gomez made a free citizen of Spain, treated him as a son, and, when dying left him a part of his estate. But Gomez survived his illustrious master and friend only a few years, dying it is said, about the year 1590.

Madden Says No Beach
(Continued from page 1)
Tidal Basin bathing beach for whites only were awaiting the consent of Representative Madden. He was wired several days ago for permission to reopen the Tidal Basin beach and was advised that provisions would be made for colored persons at Buzzard Point or some other place.
Buzzard Point is in the Anacostia River between the War College and a sewage pumping station. It was formerly used as a dumping ground. Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, in charge of public buildings and public parks, suggested in a letter to Jesse C. Suter, president of the Citizens Advisory Council, that this would be a suitable place not only for bathing facilities for Negroes but land could be had there to provide a public park for their recreational activities.
Representative Madden stated his attitude toward the proposal in telegrams to the President; Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the Citizens Advisory Council; Representative Thomas H. Blanton, of Texas, who was active in trying to secure the consent of certain Senators and Congressmen, and one or two daily papers.
In one of his telegrams he said:
"The law abolishing the bathing beaches provides for the removal of all facilities.
"The law is clear, concise and mandatory. There can be no misunderstanding as to what it means."
"To operate the beaches with public or private funds would manifestly be a violation of the law.
"The people themselves demanded the legislation and the officials are bound by it."
For several years a bathing beach used by white persons only had been maintained and operated by the Government. A location for a "jim crow" bathing beach had been sought by the Secretary of War. Finally it was decided that the west side of the Tidal Basin opposite the white beach was the best location. Congress appropriated the sum of $75,000 for its construction.
After work had been begun on the "jim crow" bathing beach, both white and colored persons began protesting. The whites claimed that it was too near their bathing beach; others said that no bathing should be permitted in the Tidal Basin because it marred the beauty of Potomac Park. The Negroes protested against legislation by the Federal Government which recognized differences in American citizens and provided for segregation as a public policy.
Just prior to adjournment March 4, last, the Congress voted to turn back into the Treasury the unexpended balance of the appropriation for the construction of a beach for Negroes. It also voted to strike out of the District appropriations bill an item for the maintenance and operation of the beach which had been used by whites only. In the organic act, which provided for the construction of a bathing beach in the Tidal Basin, no reference whatever is made to race. Recently there have been eight drownings as a result of unsupervised bathing in the District of Columbia. This began the agitation for the reopening of the Tidal Basin beach.
