Order for Deportation of Garvey Sent to Atlanta May Ask Coolidge to Appoint Negro To Civil Service Commission Vacancy DEATH OF WOMAN MAKES VACANCY ON COMMISSION WHERE RACE REALLY NEEDS RIGHT REPRESENTATION FREE First in Local Circulation. Vol. 5, No. 11 May To Ci DEATH OF WO VACANCY ON WHERE RACE R RIGHT REPRE President Coolidge has under consideration the appointment of a person to fill the vacancy in the Civil Service Commission resulting from the death of Mrs. Helen H. Gardener. One of "17 Points" The appointment of a colored person as a Civil Service Commissioner was one of the seventeen points given to the press by William C. Matthews, who directed the Coolidge campaign among colored voters. At the time these seventeen points were made public, it was announced that they constituted the irreducible minimum which Mr. Matthews and his associates would demand of the administration as a reward for the support of colored Republicans. There are already a dozen candidates in the field. Women are particularly determined that the successor to Mrs. Gardener shall be a woman and are waging a political fight to this end. Ex-service men want one of their number to have the plum, but reports for the summer White House at Swampscott, Mass., indicate that the President is inclined to appoint a woman of independent political leanings. No Colored Candidate As yet, no colored person has been proposed for the place, notwithstanding that men like R. R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., Charles E. Mitchell, of Charleston, W. Va., and Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh, are admitted fitted for the office. Likewise there are a number of colored women excellently equipped to fill the place. Party affiliations, however, would probably bar the selection of any of American Wooden Have Co. Philadelphia, Pa. (Special)—The American Woodmen meet in their Quadrennial Convention in Denver, Colorado, next week, and from present indications the meeting promises to be one of strong political cross-currents and under-currents. This is the first convention since the death of former Supreme Commander C. M. White, who is credited with having safely piloted the order to its present high standing among fraternals. The candidacy of Jno. L. Jones for the Supreme Commandership as announced in dispatches last week, is the first big gun fired. Dr. E. W. D. Abner is the present Supreme Commander and is said to seek re-election. While there is general dissatisfaction with the administration of Dr. Abner, and a general tendency on the part of the members to demand a change, even his bitterest enemies, admit that General Jones should not be successor to Dr. Abner. Inquiry reveals that among the candidates for the office FREE The Washington Tribune Mammoth Spiral Tower Exhibition Largest and Most Sensational Out-of-door Attraction on earth.

The law provides that there shall not be more than two members of the commission who are of the same political faith. Both William C. Deming, the president of the commission, and George R. Whales, the other member, are Republicans. The law has been generally construed as limiting the appointment to the Republican and Democratic parties, but spokesmen for the President say that he is inclined to appoint an independent. If that be his attitude, the name of Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, or some colored man who wears his party affiliations lightly should be proposed for the place. Reasons There are not less than fifty thousand colored persons in the Government service, and there are thousands of applicants yearly. Charges of discrimination in appointments to Federal offices on account of color are continually being hurled at Government officials. The commission was created to do away with the "spoils system" and see to it that persons are given Government employment on merit. A colored member of the commission would be more inclined to inquire into charges of discrimination by appointment officers and protect the interests of colored applicants. If Ferdinand Q. Morton can serve successfully as a member of the Civil Service Commission in New York, by a parity of reasoning a colored man can serve as member of the Civil Service Commission in Washington. Colored Republicans should see to it that the opportunity is not lost by failure to propose suitable persons. len To convention Fight ure Hon. C. C. Trimble, National Supervisor, Louisville, Ky., Hon. H. L. Billups, Vice-Supreme Commander, Philadelphia, Pa., J. E. Robinson, National Advisor, Columbia, S. C., and E. E. Carrington, National Auditor. Of even greater interest, however, is the contest expected to develop for the office of Supreme Clerk, now held by L. H. Lightner. In a circular issued by a Member's Committee for distribution at the convention, are set forth charges of mismanagement against this officer, and an active candidate for his office will be brought before the Convention. It is claimed by this committee, which opposes Lightner's re-election, that he is a "white man's Negro." He is reputed to be closely associated with white politicians, in Colorado, with Ku Klux Klan proclivities. It is known that he employs for the society, a white attorney, who is paid $5,000 per year. The contention is made that many Ne- (Continued on page 3) Mammo Largest and on earth. formed by WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 Spectacular Free Act at Suburban Gardens The management of Suburban Gardens announced this week the securing of one of the largest and most spectacular free acts ever presented in this city. The act secured is Lionel Legare, the man who rolls a ball on a spiral tower which ascends to a height of 110 feet. While at this dizzy height, Legare balances, himself on his head on the ball and performs several other hair raising feats. While descending on this ball, the entire tower is lighted with varigated colors of fireworks. This part of the act is the most beautiful and thrilling ever presented here. This wonderful act will be presented at 9:30 p.m., every night for five days beginning Sunday, August 9th. It will be located in the open so it can be easily seen by all. MAXWELL BOOK SHOP MOVES TO NEW QUARTERS Maxwell's Book Shop formerly located at 2016 Georgia Avenue, has moved into new and larger quarters next door, at 2018 Georgia Avenue, Northwest. Joseph H. Maxwell, proprietor, has spared no pain or money in making his new place one of the finest in the city. The store will handle a complete line of all text books used in all departments of Howard University, Miner Normal, Dunbar and Armstrong and all the Junior High Schools, Frelinghuysen University and all the night schools of the city. A new line has been added this year, which is, medical instruments and test tubes. Mr. Maxwell states that he will carry all instruments used by students and physicians. A complete seperate department has been set aside for these instruments. Another new addition to the Book Shop this year will be a soda fountain. This department is intended to accommodate the large number of people in this section who want refreshing drinks under conditions which are not humiliating. A circulating library is another feature which will be added this fall. This library will be a member of the chain of such libraries now serving thousands of people. It will be sufficiently large enough to care for any needs of the public and large number of students. It will handle fiction as well as scientific and research books. Maxwell's Book Shop has been serving the public here for over three years. It is one of few businesses of its kind owned and operated by Negroes. Mr. Maxwell says they are better prepared this year to give perfect service than ever before. He is expecting to handle at least 90 per cent of the school book trade this year. U. N. I. A. HEAD MAY BE PAROLED AND DEPORTED Marcus Garvey, for whose deportation a warrant is held by immigration authorities at Atlanta, Ga., where he is serving a sentence in the Federal penitentiary, will not be deported until he is released from prison by pardon, parole, or expiration of sentence, the Commissioner General of Immigration explained to-day. A warrant for the deportation of Garvey is included in a batch of 139 held by immigration authorities at Atlanta. It was explained at the immigration bureau that the Commissioner of Immigration is immediately informed upon aliens being sentenced to the penitentiary, and that prior to their release warrants for their deportation are forwarded to the immigration authorities in the city where the prison is located. These authorities are notified shortly before the prisoners' release and plans are made for them to be taken into custody and deported as soon as they are released. In some instances, prisoners are paroled for the purpose of being deported. So far as could be uncertained, Garvey will not be turned over to the immigration authorities yet. His petition for executive clemency is under consideration by the Attorney General, who will make a recommendation to the President. In the event that Garvey is pardoned, he will be taken into custody by the immigration authorities for deportation. If he is denied a pardon, deportation will be delayed until he is paroled or has served his term. Garvey was convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Steamship Line, a subsidiary organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he was the President General. He was sentenced to serve five years in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia. Garvey is a West Indian. He came from Kingston, Jamaica, and is a citizen of the British Jamaican government. He claims to have taken out his first naturalization papers, but he is willing to be deported in order to be released from the penitentiary. JOSEPH MAXWELL TO BUILD HOTEL HERE Announcement was made by the real estate firm of M. M. Harris Co., 613 F Street, Northwest, this week that Joseph Maxwell, well known business man, will erect at 51-55 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, a completely modern fireproof 75-room hotel.

According to Mr. Harris, whose firm will handle the proposition, the building will extend from Massachusetts Avenue through to G Street, having a frontage on both streets. Every room will be completely furnished and most of them will have running water. Building operations are planned to be started early this fall. The hotel is expected to be completed by next spring.

FRAZIER MILLER ASSAILS HOWARD UNIV. OFFICIALS Resolutions demanding the resignation or dismissal of J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, were adopted at a mass meeting held in the New Bethel Baptist Church, corner of Ninth and S. Streets, Northwest, last Thursday night, under the auspices of the Howard Welfare League. The principle speaker was the Rev. George Frazier Miller, of Brooklyn, N.Y., president of the General Alumni Association, whom the Durkee forces is charged with seeking to discredit, particularly among members of Congress as a radical and a pacifist during the world war. Defends War Record After a personal comparison of himself with Emory B. Smith, an employee of the university under the designation of "Alumni Secretary," the Rev. Miller defended his course during the war. Mr. Smith had charged in the public press that the Rev. Miller is not a representative of the better class of colored people. Rev. Miller admitted that he refused to advocate the war or support it in any way. In defense of his position, he declared that it was not a righteous war; that it was not intended to make the world safe for democracy, but that "America went to war to secure her foreign loans, to serve capitalistic principles and to exploit foreign peoples." He said that "loyalty involves reciprocal service and reciprocal benefits and if I am to sacrifice for my country, my country must do justice to me. I said that during the war, I say it now and will say it always." Not Always Thus He said that Emory Smith has not always thought as he does now of him.

Miller, leader of The Community Center Band to hire them his band. Prof. Miller, according to his statement to a Tribune report, flatly turned down the request. Prof. Miller stated that under no circumstances would he permit his band or any part of it to take part in this parade. The Klan has had great difficulty in getting bands as the Musicians' Union decreed that no union musician should play in the parade. Therefore, apparently after failing to line-up white bands, the Klan officials appealed to Negroes, one of the groups the order is bitterly opposed to. But this was "nipped in the bud" when Prof. Miller refused the use of his band. Office: 920 U Street, N.W. t to Atla oint on Va SEGREGATION PARK THWAR TEST OF NEVA Neval H. Thomas, president of the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has attacked successfully another piece of segregation here in the national capital. This time it has invaded the realm of sport. The Evening Star, the leading white daily here, carried notice that the Midget Nines of the District would play a game of ball in the American League Park on Tuesday, just previous to the Chicago-Washington game, when ten thousand white boys would be admitted free as the guests of the Nationals. Mr. Thomas went immediately to the manager of the world champions, Mr. Clark Griffith, telling him that the colored people, thousands of whom being devotees and patrons of the game, regretted that our vicious American color discrimination had entered the popular game of baseball, and that sports are far in advance of the American white church in democratic ideals and sentiment of human brotherhood. Mr. Griffith immediately phoned Mr. Mme. C. J.

He kept his word in its entirety, for the daily press then announced "First come, first served." Mr. Thomas is also working on the new police commissioner, Mr. Frederick Fenning, to secure the appointment of colored men to the police force whom the police physicians have disqualified, although these able-bodied men passed the draft boards without even hesitation on the part of the examining physicians. He is also demanding investigation and punishment in the case of the police officer who entered a respectable colored home at 2 a.m. without warrant and took a small boy. He refused to tell the parents anything about the cause of the arrest, and when he got the child to the station house, assaulted him. The chief of police has ordered a searching investigation, and adequate discipline. A'Lelia Walker, daughter of the late Madam C. J. Walker and president of the Mme, C. J. Walker Mfg.

The school term of 1924-25 has been a season of the loss of many of our choice spirits—Miss J. L. Dandridge, Miss M. F. Barker, Miss Isabelle Sidney, Miss Mary Orme, Miss Marie DuVaule, and now Miss Mary Jane King. The Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association forms its estimate of worth by actual class-room and community service. Measured by this standard, Miss Mary Jane King takes front rank.

The Tribune Sport Review New York Boxing Commission Takes Strong Stand Against Dempsey PAGE FOUR The New York Boxing Commission to Suspend Boxers Who Fight Dempsey New York, Aug. 4—Tired by thefactory tactics of Jack Dempsey insigning for a title match with HarryWills, the New York state athletic commission ruled at its meeting yesterday that it would suspend any boxerwho meets Dempsey before the titleholder signs an agreement and posts a forfeit for a match with the "Brown Panther." Chairman Farley issued the following statement: "We can not suspend Dempsey, as he holds no license with this commission. We can not declare the title vacant because we haven't the power, but he is already on the ineligible list and will remain so until he signs for the Wills match. If we could declare the title vacant we would. "We received his letter by aeroplane mail today, but will ignore it. We will answer neither his letter or his latest wire. We are not concerned with his personal affairs but he agreed to fight Wills and until he takes some steps to bind this match, his status with us will remain the same, namely, insolible. "However, we have taken an additional step to bring Dempsey to terms. Any boxer who fights Dempsey before the champion definitely binds himself to a match with Wills will be promptly suspended or declared ineligible by this commission. This ruling likely will be effective in States where a working agreement exists with this board. Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania all have a working agreement with us." Tex Rickard, Madison Square Garden promoter, told the commission that he had received a letter from Dempsey to the effect that the champion will be ready to step into the ring against Harry Wills about July 4, 1826, but the commission refused to rescind its action against Dempsey until he, himself, binds the match with a bond.

Both games were marked by sensational fielding and masterful pitching. Briscoe opposed "Blackfoot" Striver, in the first. Lack of thought caused Briscoe to lose his game. He committed a balk and forced in "Morehop" Davis, who was on third, by virtue of a two bagger and stolen base, with the winning run. Briscoe sent thirteen of the Tigers back by the strike-out route, while Striver made ten of the Giants whiff.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY AUGUST 8. 1925 SPORTS CHATTER In mid-season, the Potomacs, formerly of Washington but lately of Wilmington, Del., passed out of the Eastern League. The demise of this ball club was untimely and is regretted by all who have at heart the development of organized baseball among colored people. Yet it was but the natural result of causes apparent to anyone with any knowledge of baseball and could have been easily foretold. Wilmington is a shipbuilding, not a baseball, town. It can never be made into a baseball town because there are not enough fans there to support a semi-professional team. For a one day stand occasionally with a white team playing a colored, it will do. But baseball nearly every day between two colored teams cannot draw sufficient support to be maintained, and the league directors, particularly Ed Bolden of the Hildales and Charlie Spedden of the Black-Sox whose teams have played there frequently, should have advised George Robinson to this effect for the good of the league. Ben Taylor selected the logical town for the eighth club in the Eastern League when he located in Washington, but a thorough effort to build up a respectable following was never made here. The team was weird—champs one day and dubs the next—and the games were few and far between. Yet this column believes that if the club had remained here its death would not have been so untimely. WASHINGTON PLACES HER HOPE ON TED THOMPSON It appears that the youthful Ted Thompson will have to save for Washington the national tennis championship, if this town is to have in her midst the titleholder. Talley Holmes, the national champion, has been beaten—beaten twice by Edgar Brown last week in Chicago—and if perchance Talley should reach the finals in the tournament at Bordentown, N.J., during the week of August 24, it is very likely that Brown will again defeat him. This column wants to see a Washingtonian carry on in tennis. It believes that Ted Thompson, if he can be made to realize that Washington places her faith in him, can defeat even Edgar Brown. Ted is in fine condition now. We hope that when he meets Brown in the finals at Bordentown that he will be in that same condition and display the rare form which he showed last Sunday when he defeated Sylvester Smith in the finals of the open tournament held by the James E. Walker Tennis Club.

Champ For the second consecutvie time, Ted Thompson, youthful college boy, won the District tennis championship in the tournament held by the James E. Walker Tennis Club under the sanction of the American Tennis Association. The finals were played Sunday afternoon on the club's courts at Fifth and W Streets, Northwest. A heavy downpour on Friday forced postponement of the semi-finals until Saturday and caused the finals to go over for a day. The title was to be decided on a best-three-out-of-five basis, but it took only three sets for Ted to successfully defend his title. He won three straight sets from Sylvester Smith who was playing his first tournament tennis in two years. The score was 6-2, 6-4, 6-1. Ted was in rare form. He played an aggressive game, smashing and driving with a recklessness with which his opponent could not cope. He used a vicious service and a submarine stroke which bewildered his rival and on many a drive Syl Smith never even placed his racket. At other times the collegian would resort to strategy, skillfully placing the ball where his rival could not reach it. The game of Syl Smith was by no means bad. He played steadily and showed skill in placing his returns, but Ted was playing a superior game. The first upset in the tournament came in the fourth round Saturday afternoon when Syl Smith defeated Allan Woolridge, who is the fourth ranking player under the American Tennis Association ratings. The score in this match was 6-2, 10-8. In the upper bracket in the semifinals J. F. N. Wilkinson was matched with Ted Thompson. Johnnie Wilkinson had played a surprising game through the fourth round and it was generally thought that he would make Ted extend himself in order to advance to the finals. But Winkinson faltered in his play against his youthful opponent and Ted won in three straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1. The biggest upset of the tournament came in the women's singles when Miss Anita Gant defeated Miss Blanche Winston in the finals for the women's title. Miss Gant was not expected to reach the finals. Her elimination was scheduled for the semi-finals by Miss Lucy D. Slowe, with whom she was matched in the upper bracket. Out of a spirit to encourage the younger tennis players, however, Miss Slowe defaulte. Miss Winston defeated Miss Lucille Thomas in the semi-finals, 6-0, 6-2.

League Leaders to Play The winners of the Union League and the winners of the Departmental League will play a three-game series in one of the two parks. Notice of park selected will appear later.

Because the lowly Alexandria All-Stars forfeited a Union League game by refusing to play the Tigers, the league leaders thought it would be a glorious thing to carry home a double victory. They crossed bats with the Lafayetes but lost a well played game despite the fact that the score was 14 to 2. Both of these teams have been playing stellar ball this season. The Tigers have ignored the Lafs, but the Virginia city boys and fans have always contended that the two teams were of tit for tat calibre. The game was replete with spectacular playing by both teams. Brook's speed twisters were too varied for the Washington boys, while the LeDroit's pitching ace, Lefty Smith was easy to find when necessary.

The Lafayettes' manager asserted their battery is best the club has had for several years. The pitchers are John Harris, Joseph Brooks, Albert Montague, Dennis Wanzer, Edgar Magee, Arthur Moten, George Wallace; catchers—Clarence Wright, Smith Miller, and Chandler Robinson. He would not give his regular line-up because he asserts that all of the players in the club are first string men. Captain Vass, the veteran shortstop, stated that any team that intends to lay claim to the Northern Virginia and District of Columbia championship, will have his team to reckon with. This challenge is hurled at the LeDroit Tigers, Oriental Tigers, Teddy Bears, Black Sox, and the leader of the Departmental League. Selah! It is expected that the city championship will change hands this year if the All-Stars and Lafayettes can be brought together this season. The All-Stars are present city champions.

At this writing, it is quite certain that the Ku Klux Klan will parade here, August 8. The parade, with its destructive, injurious, demoralizing after effects, is a bold reminder of the helplessness of citizens of the District of Columbia. It brings to their mind's eye, and to those of the world, the anomalous fact that their welfare it at the mercy of the whims and idiosyncrasies of men who are not responsible, directly or indirectly, to the people whom they, as Commissioners, are supposed to represent. Despite the fact that various organizations of the city—organizations which more or less have the common good of Washington at heart—submit names to the appointing head, the President, whose privilege it is, almost invariably appoints men who are not Washingtonians—men who can not know the wishes and do not feel the inconveniences and heartaches of Washingtonians. He obtains and retains the Presidency irrespective of the wishes of the citizens of Washington, and his appointees do likewise. However inefficient a Commissioner may be, the sole influence of the Washington citizenry is not sufficient to remove him; however capable he may be, this same influence can not extend his term, once the President finds no further need of his services. Being unable to impose penalties upon the Commissioners, citizens of Washington can not make effective demands. Not only is this condition felt in regard to the parade of the Klan, but also in every other issue which comes before the Commissioners. Their action in every instance reminds us of the hubby who gives a deserving beggar the apple after wifey says, "I don't want it." And such a condition will obtain as long as we continue to work from within. We must hereafter exert intelligent efforts to have our wishes expressed through the ballot boxes of the States.

In the short period of three years, the resources of the Douglass National Bank have grown to one and a half million dollars, and the privilege has been granted to it by the Federal Government to issue $200,000 in paper money. Not only does the Federal Government recognize the integrity of Mr. Overton, and his administrative and executive ability, but also such commercial agencies as Dunn and Bradstreet do likewise. These two agencies give Mr. Overton a double "A" rating, which enables him to borrow over $500,000. And the commendable part of it all is that Mr. Overton is directing his efforts in such channels as to enable the greatest number of Colored Americans to improve their own condition. We wish that more of our wealthy Race men would distribute their wealth in those channels from which the masses might receive benefits instead of sinking it in white institutions from which the Race can derive but little direct benefit.

SEXTON PLEADS GUILTY; HELD IN $5,000 BOND John Woods, former sexton of the Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church, Ninth and P Streets, Northwest, pleaded guilty to setting fire to the church, last Monday, in Police Court. According to Assistant District Attorney Ralph Given, who investigated the case, Woods held an old grudge against the Reverend J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the church, and other officials, since his discharge. The church had been the scene of five fires in the past, and two blazes had broken out in an adjoining residence, at 1506 Ninth Street, Northwest, owned by the church. Following last Monday's fire, the church officers openly expressed the belief that the fires were of incendiary origin. They met and discussed this possibility. Suspicion was fixed on the former sexton. An investigation was made, through private sources and by the police before Woods was arrested. Following his arraignment, he was held in $5,000 bond for the grand jury. Woods admitted to police that he had set fire to the church after first entering the building through a cellar window and made preparations for his deed by gathering a quantity of paper soaked with gasoline which he stuffed behind a crevice of the pipe organ and lighted with a match. He gave his age as thirty-three and his address as Martinsburg, W. Va. "What is it that stands on eight legs and sings?" "I don't know. What is it?" "A quartet." --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 Something of Interest By I. L. PARKER Wisdom is the Principal Thing." Prov. 4:7. Out of the Germany which for so lately shared with all the world a great blood-guiltiness, there has come a new voice of peace, a new prophet of the brotherhood of man. Out of the Germany which for so long has been arrogant in its knowledge, there has come a modern philosopher who teaches that abstract knowledge is sterile and profitless and that in pure wisdom alone there is beauty and hope. Out of the complex, over-refined, hyper-sophisticated, exhausted Germany which in our age is the focal center of that decline of Western civilization which her own scientists have pronounced with such depressing certainty, there has come a new rejuvenating force. From that wearied culture we have a new system of philosophy which may yet prove an instrument of the world's salvation. It is not a solution of the world problem; but it, at least, points the direction of the road. W. L. PARKER at least, points to his School of Wisdom at Darmstadt of his philosophy of wisdom in it has gained a surprisingly large Europe since the establishment much to bequeath to the individual in world thought. Its fate is systems of philosophy; its results ideal types before it can real philosophy can have a meaning; naught that the Athenians conqueror of youth before the world of all Occidental philosophy. Count Keyserling follows the guidance, practiced in the lyceum of Tagore. He has his three professors and of the intellectual mere knowledge is a Dead Sea fledployed in the service of man. Witals, is the sole worthy and essent the Truth-Seeker with the One Ideal wisdom in a synthesis of the spirit in a complete perception of the functions and elements of life directly to the individual, for he of more importance than the a thence through the individual to of a practical mystic, at once a original value of each; the philosophy of the generations which depend and he has the universe before the further element which men is short. Therefore, it is his obli and his God, to realize all three self. This is wisdom, and it is that he achieves perfection. Count Hermann Keyserling and the students of his School of Wisdom at Darmstadt look for a general acceptance of his philosophy of wisdom in the not distant future. Though it has gained a surprisingly large number of adherents throughout Europe since the establishment of his school, in 1920, it has too much to bequeath to the individual ever to become a direct current in world thought. Its fate will not be unlike that of all great systems of philosophy; its results must be assimilated through its ideal types before it can reach the people. As an idea, this philosophy can have a meaning only for the few. It is not for naught that the Athenians condemned Socrates to death as a corrupter of youth before the world accepted him as the prototype of all Occidental philosophy. Count Keyserling follows the method of informal personal guidance, practiced in the lyceum of Socrates and the Bolpur School of Tagore. He has his three communities, of the patrons, of the scholars and of the intellectually related. He maintains that mere knowledge is a Dead Sea fruit unless it is creative and employed in the service of man. Wisdom, as defined by the Orientalis, is the sole worthy and essential goal of life. He compares the Truth-Seeker with the One Who Knows, and approaches this ideal wisdom in a synthesis of the free intellect with the liberated spirit in a complete perception and appreciation of beauty in all the functions and elements of life. He addresses his philosophy directly to the individual, for he believes that the fact of being is of more importance than the accident of accomplishment; and thence through the individual to the world. It is the philosophy of a practical mystic, at once a Kantian and an Epicurean in the original value of each; the philosophy of an egoist with a perception of the generations which depend on his destiny. He is himself, and he has the universe before him, and he is not unmindful of the further element which men call God. The span of his life is short. Therefore, it is his obligation, before himself, his world and his God, to realize all three elements creatively within himself. This is wisdom, and it is only as man approaches wisdom that he achieves perfection. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams MUSICIANS MEET IN INDIANOPOLIS Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 4—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The annual convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians was held in this city last week. There were more than three hundred delegates present representing every state in the Union. Greetings were received from Roland Hayes. The annual address of the president, Nathaniel Dett, made a great impression on the assembled delegates. The convention voted to contribute to the Madame C. J. Walker scholarship fund. COMPOSERS IN A CLASS TO THEMSELVES. Our local music composers, who are they? Generally we hear much praise sometimes exaggerating, about this and that one's pianistic or vocal ability but rarely ever do we find similar sentiment in point of public estimation over one's ability to write a music composition, which we believe by far to be a more meritorious contribution to art than the act of performing same. It is a great privilege to understand and know the art of music from whatever standpoint one may view it. It is a wonderful gift when one is endowed through native ability and natural talent combined with long and thorough systematic study and preparation to be able to interpret the work of master music compositions. However, the glory of undying fame rests upon the brow of the Composer, the genius who creates that vital spark in music; whose fame sweeps on down through the hidden mystic ages, long, long since that of a fantastic performer's act, glorified in terms of superlatives. The person who creates or invents anything deserves more than passing notice. Particularly should we list high up on the roll of honor names of creative musicians, those among us who have shown talent in composi- SUES HUSBAND FOR MAINTENANCE Alleging that her husband has not supported her as he should, Mrs. Beatrice H. Carter, of 111 P Street, Northwest, has filed suit against her husband, Walter R. Carter, for maintenance. She is represented by Attorney Joseph N. Jones. She claims that her husband gives her only $25 a month, although he has a total income of $145 a month. He is employed, she says, at the Bureau of Internal Revenue. A. B. tions of merit. We want to commend them to the public for honors long past due. We want to place them upon a higher pedestal than the piano artists or vocal artist or violin artist. Why? Because to successfully compose is to reach the highest pinnacle in the realm of music and it lives on forever like a master painting, sculpture, or architectural design in marble. What about Bach, Handel, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms, Grieg, Hayden, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Schubert, Wagner, Gounod, Liszt, and others? There's our own Colderidge-Taylor, Diton, Burleigh, Cook, Johnson, Dett, and possibly others of note whose compositions have brought fame to the writer. And now we come to our own local Washington composers whom we are presenting as such, worthy of our highest admiration and congratulations because they have done something worth while, at least they have made an effort to create music that is original and that's more than the others are doing for the while. Most any one may learn to play and sing intelligently and artistically if talented but even such one may not have the gift of melody which is born in the soul. Those who are gifted with melody in composing are without question the outranking musicians of all races and climes. We mention our worthy local composers as follows: Alonzo P.

We have personal knowledge of the merit of their compositions but are not aware of their market value at present. It is enough however to know that there is creative genius here among us and we should encourage public hearing of their compositions whenever practical. If, there are other local composers worthy of mention, we would be glad to learn of them as we wish to encourage more music writing among music folks. Mrs. Carter says that she helped her husband purchase the premises at No. 111 P Street while she was employed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Her husband represented to her that this property was jointly in their names, she says, but that about a year ago she discovered that it is recorded as his sole and separate estate. She alleges that he has been evincing a loss of affection for her for about five years and his attitude has been one of coldness and indifference.

Hot Bread Mornings and Evenings Home-made Deserts CHILDREN'S PAGE GROONOKO: THE ROYAL SLAVE There was a very warlike tribe of natives in that portion of Africa called Coromantien. Therefore they had many captives ready to be sold as slaves to the English plantation owners in the South American colony called Surinam. The king of Coromantien was a hundred years old. All of his sons had fallen in battle, and only one grandson was left him as heir to his throne. Oroonoko, as the young prince was called was very intelligent and his grandfather, the king, hired a French teacher to instruct the lad. He loved best to study about the ancient Romans. As his grandfather was old and it was necessary to have a young man whose arms were strong, whose limbs were supple, whose legs were fleet and whose mind was clear, Oroonoko was entrusted in the care of the royal chief headman for his training in the arts of war. Later Oroonoko went to war and upon the death of the chief headman, the young warrior succeeded him as the head of the army. He was only seventeen years old but he soon brought the war to a victorious close, returning to his home with many slaves. Our prince gave a hundred and fifty of his captives to Imoina, the very beautiful daughter of the chief headman. They loved each other and hoped to marry. The king had heard so much of the beauty of Imoinda, that he sent a royal message demanding her to come to him at once. He had decided to marry her himself and she had to obey. Oroonoko of course, was very angry to learn that his grandfather had compelled Imoinda to marry. During the night he attempted to get her from the otan (harem) of the king and was prevented from doing so by the king's spies. The king sold Imoinda to the captain of a slave ship. The king would not tell the prince that he had sold Imoinda into slavery but he made the statement that she was dead. Oroonoko was full of sorrow. He gathered an army and went into battle and captured many of his enemies and sold them into slavery. Oroonoko was tricked by one of his grandfather's captains and after being made drunk he was attacked and gutt in chains and carried to South America and sold into slavery. He was sold to the owners of Imoinda and great was their surprise and joy at meeting. Oroonko brooded over being a slave. He had no faith in white people. He had such influence with the slaves that the white people feared he would start an insurrection. He sought his freedom of the lord-governor and being promised it, he was again tricked, carried away and tied to a post and whipped until his body bled. He was then bound in chains and cast into a prison. He was rescued by a plantation overseer (a man who had charge of slaves). His heart was sad, and the idea of being a slave caused him to decide to kill himself. Imoina wanted to die with him rather than stay a slave, so he killed her and their little son. Oroonoko decided he would kill the lord-governor before he died. He turned back to do so but fell into the kands of some soldiers and he was killed. (Note: This narrative is from the novel written by Mrs. Aphra Behn (white), Mrs. Behn was born at Wye, England, July 10, 1640. She was a noted English novelist in the 17th century. She claimed that this is a story based on facts and she tells where and when she met Oroonoko. She died April 16, 1689.—Ed.) I AM PROUD I am proud of myself, because I am a Negro.

BOY SCOUT ACTIVITIES THE SCOUTMASTER Every troop of scouts has as a leader a man who is known as scoutmaster. He receives a commission annually from the National Council upon the recommendation of the troop committee, representing the organization with which the troop is connected. This commission certifies as to his fitness and gives him authority to act as scoutmaster in carrying out the program in accordance with the official handbooks. He must be a citizen of the United States (or have taken legal steps to become such) at least twenty-one years of age, and be chosen because of good moral character and his ability to lead boys. He attends all of the meetings and outings of the troop and is responsible for the general program and supervision of the work of the troop. Blanks may be seceded from the local or National Council for the use of men recommended for commissions as scoutmasters. Each troop has one or more assistant scoutmasters who receive their commissions annually from the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America upon the recommendation of the scoutmaster and the troop committee. Assistant scoutmasters must be at least eighteen years of age and are often selected and promoted because of their experience as members of troops, and proficiency in scouting. The assistant scoutmaster performs such duties as may be assigned by the scoutmaster. NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA PUSHIN, Alexander Sergeyevitch: He was born at Moscow, June 7, 1799. One of his ancestors, a full blooded Negro, was ennobled by Peter the Great. Alexander inherited this ancestors' dark skin and a mass of curly hair. During his early life he began writing. One of his poems, "Ode to liberty" brought him the displeasure of the court and to escape being arrested and sent to the prison at Siberia he managed to be appointed to an official post at Kiskineff, in Southern Russia. When Tzar Nicholas ascended the throne in 1825, Puskin was recalled to Moscow and appointed imperial historiographer. Puskin gained great reknown while he lived as being the greatest writer in Russia and among the greatest poets of the world at that time. As a poet, he still remains the greatest Russia has produced. His novels and other works of prose do not rise to the high standard of his poetry. His best works of prose are "The Pistol Shot," "The Queen of Spades," "The Undertaker," and "The Captain's Daughter." The last novel was written about 1831, and published under the pen name of Ivan Byelkin.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 OUR LETTER BOX What should they see but Anna's dog, Collie? All three of the girls laughed picked up their baskets, and went skipping along home to tell the joke, with Collie beside them. A SOUTHERN STORY I am going to tell you about three little Southern girls. Two of them were white and the other one was a colored girl. They lived in a small village near San Antonio, Texas. There was only one family of colored people there, so all of the colored girl's playmates were white. Two of their names were Anna Simms, thirteen, and Elsie Wright, twelve. The colored girl's name was Ruth Johnson and she was thirteen years old. One day while Ruth and Anna were playing, Anna said, "Let's go out and get Elsie to go picking flowers with us." "Where shall we go?" asked Ruth. "To the woods, of course," replied Anna. So they agreed to get Elsie and go. In a few minutes the three girls were seen trooping along towards the woods with baskets on their arms. I am a penny. I was born in 1910 in the mint. When I was two years old I was carried to a store and the store clerk put me in his register. There came to the store a real old woman and asked the clerk to give her change for a quarter and he did and I was given to the woman in change. I lived happy in the old woman's home until one day her friend came to visit her who had a cute little girl. The girl asked her for a penny and she gave me to the little girl. The lady lived a long ways and she had to go home on the cars. Just as the little girl got on the car she dropped me in a hole. I stayed there until I moulded. That was the end of my life. While the girls were picking flowers they heard footsteps, they looked up to find no one, so they began picking once more. Anna screamed suddenly, the other two girls turned and looked. ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE During the period of African slavery the whole civilized world took part in this stealing, trading or selling of human beings. The better class of people of the nations of the world, those who think kindly of and for their fellow men, began to oppose this traffic and on May 16, 1792, Denmark led the abolition movement by a royal order which was to be enforced throughout her dominion at the end of ten years. March 2, 1807 marks the date of an act of our Congress to the effect that the abolition of the African slave trade was to go into effect the first day of the following year. Great Britain, on March 25, same year; followed the example of the United States; Sweden in 1813; Holland and France in 1814 (the latter as the result of a treaty with Great Britain, though it was not in full operation until June 1, 1819); Spain in 1815; Portugal, whichehas legislated for absolute abolition in January, 1815 had the time for the cessation of the trade extended to January 21, 1823, and finally extended to February 1830. All of this goes to show that the selling of Africans had become a universal commercial enterprise. The attack was successful but the hero who remains unhonored and unsung was an unknown Negro.

LETTERS THE STORY OF A PENNY NEVER TOLD TALES There are lots and lots of worthy things done by Negroes which are not generally known. Never-the-less the adage stands true "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again." History tells us that George Washington planned and that Mad Anthony Wayne carried out Washington's plans and captured Stony Point during the Revolutionary War. But it must not be forgotten that the countersign and password of the British were obtained by the shrewdness and loyalty of a patriotic Negro. This Negro sold strawberries, etc., etc to the British soldiers and thereby learned that the password was "The Fort is Ours." Securing this information this Negro led the American troops through the darkness of the night to the causeway over the marsh, around the foot of the hill. Then going in advance up the hill, giving the password, and holding the sentry in conversation (with the sentry's back to the approaching Americans) until the sentry was seized from behind and gagged. The Rules: All lines for this limerick must reach us not later than August 24. The names of the winners will appear in the issue of this paper or August 29th. You are to use the blank on which the limerick appears, write your name, age, and address plainly. The last line "must" rhyme with the first two lines of the jingle. The editor of the "Children's Page" will be the judge and his decision shall be final. Address all mail to "Limerick Contest," The Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 2 6.

As to our efficiency and service during that time, we can refer you to those families who have been our patrons in their hour of great distress. We have never made or attempted to make the prices of bug funerals. We leave that entirely to those whom we serve. We think that every normal family knows better what they want to spend and are able to spend on their deceased loved ones, than any disinterested undertaker could know; therefore we leave the subject of cost entirely up to you. We do say, however, that we handle the same line of goods that any or all of our competitors handle, and we can assure you that none of them can or will display more patience or take more time in showing you through spacious show rooms and helping you to make the cost of your selection whatever YOU want to make it, and not what WE want you to make it.
