Was stormy petrel of Georgia Politics. Had long political career. Was a brilliant lawyer. Will be buried here. Funeral Monday.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee for Georgia, is dead.
Death came to him at 1 o'clock Thursday morning at Freedmen's Hospital. It was due to a cerebral hemorrhage.
He suffered a third stroke of paralysis while in bathing at Highland Beach, Md., last Sunday afternoon, as he was about to climb aboard a motor boat. Sylvester Pinkney and Barrington Guy, who were in the boat, pulled him out of the water and saved him from death by drowning.
He was unconscious when he was brought to shore. He was taken to the Annapolis City Hospital. He was admitted, but when it was learned that he was colored he was ordered

President Taft appointed him Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and in the Republican National Convention of 1912 he stayed with the Taft crowd, although the Roosevelt people made all kinds of proposals for him to swing the Georgia delegation to the support of Theodore Roosevelt, which would have insured the nomination of Roosevelt and prevented the split in the Republican ranks.
He reached the height of his positional career in 1920 when he was elected the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee over the bitter opposition of the "jilly-white" faction in the Republican party. After the adjournment of the

He reached the height of his political career in 1920 when he was elected the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee over the bitter opposition of the "ily-white" faction in the Republican party. After the adjournment of the
convention he created a national sensation when he testified before a Senate Committee inquiring into the expenditure of pre-convention campaign funds. His testimony centered upon the disfranchisement and lynching of Negroes. It was in 1920 when he had the first attack which weakened him physically. On the occasion of the notification of the late Warren G. Harding of his nomination as the Republican candidate for President he had an attack of high blood pressure. He never fully regained his health. In 1921 President Harding nominated him to be recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, but the nomination was rejected by a Republican Senate upon the personal objections of the late Senator Thomas Watson, Democrat, of Georgia.

IMPORTANT ITEMS DISCUSSED BY HISTORICAL BODY
(By J. A. Jackson)
The Tenth Annual convention of The Association of Negro Life and History was called to order at the John Wesley A. M. E. Church this week. Sessions began on Wednesday morning and were held three times daily and on Thursday. "Africa of Today." Dr. James Dillard of the Jeanes and SlaterFunds gave a vivid description of "Africa from Port Said to Capetown." William T. Laprade, Professor of History at Duke University, discussed early Negro communities in a manner that disclosed intense research. The Wednesday afternoon session was devoted to consideration of the Negro Press and proved to be one of the most interesting. Perhaps because of the dinner tendered the visitors at the Whitelaw Hotel by the Association before the session and the prospect of a smoker luncheon that was tendered by Charles Lane at the Lincoln Theatre after the session. At the close of the Whitelaw banquet the visitors were photographed before the hosterly by Scurlock.
The Press session was conducted by Robert Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender, who acted as chairman, with Robert Vann, editor of the Pittsburg Courier, as the principal speaker. E. Washington Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune, discussed "The Problems of the Negro Press". J. A. Jackson, Executive Editor of the Washington Tribune, submitted for L. H. King of the New Orleans Christian Advocate, who was unable to attend. Rev. Bragg, of Baltimore, presented a very vivid word picture of the first attempt to organize a Negro Press Association in 1878 at Atlantic City.
An interesting discussion followed the addresses of the speakers. Several quite intelligent suggestions were made that would tend to make more solid the foundation of Negro Journalism, thus making research of a historic character more easy for subsequent generations.
On Wednesday morning, the sessions likewise were productive of much discussion. W. Gomez of the Bankers Fire Insurance Co. of Durham, N. C., and Trueman Gibson of the Supreme Life Insurance Co., of Columbus, Ohio, were the principal speakers on "Business Phases of Race Life."

INVESTIGATION OF COHEN COMPLETED
Representatives of the Treasury Department have completed their investigation into the circumstances of the recent indictment of Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, La., on a charge of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act. Their report will be submitted to General Lincoln C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the Treasury Department, who is in charge of the customs service.
As a result of this investigation it is not thought that Mr. Cohen will be suspended by the Treasury Department pending the trial of the case.
BAPTISTS GATHER IN BALTIMORE FOR CONVENTION
The National Baptist Convention of which Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago is president, is holding its annual meeting in Baltimore this week at Metropolitan Baptist Church. In conjunction with the meeting of the ministers, the Woman's Auxiliary of the convention is also meeting. The two bodies are attracting the largest crowds in the history of Baltimore. Delegates from nearly every state in the union are present. In addition to the thousands coming on regular and special trains, countless numbers motored. The Washington delegation is one of the largest at the convention. The local women are headed by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The convention will be in session through Sunday. Hundreds of the delegates are taking advantage of the closeness of Washington to Baltimore, and are coming here to sight-see and visit. The National Training School of which Miss Burroughs is head, is the mecca for most of them coming here.

RESOURCES OF BAPTIST BOARD SHOW INCREASE
The report of the National Baptist Publishing board released by J. P. Robinson, chairman and Henry Allen Boyd, its secretary on August 31, reveals a very satisfactory condition of the publication business of Baptists Inc.
Gross receipts for the year were $270,499.41, slightly more than a ten thousand dollar increase over the previous year. More than twelve million copies of the different church periodicals have been printed and distributed during the year.
The Church print plant has been appraised at $350,000 by Lloyd's Aprival Bureau of Chicago. The seven brick buildings of the plant located in Nashville are protected with $240,000 of Insurance. Much new machinery and repairs to already installed equipment is reported to have been cared for during the year. Some conditions have been made to the Editorial staff of the Union Review, the church organ, and the Chairman in his report states that they are yet in need of trained writers.

New York City—The greatest labor mass meeting ever held by Negro working men was staged in the spacious and beautiful auditorium of the Imperial Lodge of Elks, 160 West 129th Street, Tuesday evening, August 25th, under the auspices of A. Philip Randolph, editor of The Messenger. A total attendance of porters who attended was nearly 500.
Mr. Randolph as chairman, told of the aims and objects of the union to be formed; the wrongs, insults and indignities inflicted upon the porters an the intelligent methods of getting justice, humane treatment and American standard working conditions and wages from the Pullman Company. He told of the farce of the Pullman Porters' violent Association, the joke of the Employee Representation Plan and other fly-paper schemes of the powerful corporation for robbing and insulting its unorganized workers. At the conclusion of his remarks, when Randolph called for authority-to begin organization work, it was given with great zest and enthusiasm and hundreds of eager hands reached for the new application blanks being passed out.
W. J. Orr, special organizer of the Brotherhood of, Locomotive Engineers in New York City, assured the assembled Porters that the railway unions were behind them and would help them in their fight. Frank Crosswaith, the Executive Secretary of the Trade Union Committee for organizing Negro Workers, followed him with an address.
George S. Schuyler, satirist on the staff of The Messenger, joked at the expense of the Pullman Company. Mr. Ross D. Brown, the nationally known Negro orator of Indianapolis and Chicago, entertained the man his brilliant delivery. Other speakers who were well received were S. C. Grain, field agent of the new union, and Roy Lankester, former secretary of the Grievance Committee of the New York District in the Employee Representation Plan and former secretary of the local P.

NO ABATEMENT IN SEGREGATION UNDER COOLIDGE
Notwithstanding statements to the contrary, segregation and discrimination on account of race are still practiced by Government officials on as large a scale as at any time since the return of the Republican party to power.
The chief offender in extending as well as continuing segregation seems to be Lieutenant Colonel Clarence O. Sherrill, who is in charge of public buildings and grounds. He is a North Carolinaian by birth. He was appointed to his present position March 21, 1921.
There are eighteen golf links in the public parks, which come under his supervision. Colored persons can use only one of them, a nine-hole course in Potomac Park. There are more than sixty tennis courts in the public parks. Colored persons can use only two of them by his permission, and these two are completely screened off from four other courts in that particular locality. The same condition obtains in regard to the baseball diamonds.
has refused to promote John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk at large, railway mail service, to a post office inspector. He takes the position that it would not do to have a colored man clothed with the authority of an inspector. The request for the promotion of Mr. Gainey had the endorsement of Robert R. Church, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Perry W. Howard, who have helped General New in all of his political fights in Indiana and after his defeat in the primary joined in the request for his appointment to the Cabinet.
The present situation in Washington as regards the Negro in Government service can be best described by the charge which the Republican party made in its 1924 campaign textbook against the Democratic party. The Republican National Committee charged the Democrats with having dismissed from the Federal service practically all colored persons excepting minor clerks, messengers, charwomen and laborers.
Government officials, who received their appointment under Republican control, are carrying on these dismissals by the very method which they charged the Democrats with using. Colored persons are transferred in groups. Shortly after the transfers are effected, the office to which they have been transferred is abolished.
The Internal Revenue Bureau, of which another North Carolinian, D. H. Blair, is the head, affords the most recent example of this. Twelve colored clerks were transferred from this bureau to the prohibition unit. Two weeks ago the last of these clerks, Hoover I. Brown, Feyton Hutchins and William Wilson, were dismissed from the Government service.

In an interview with a Tribune reporter, he stated that he will conduct and maintain one of the most modern cafes to be

Mr. Wing stated that many other changes will be made. He will give the buisness his personal supervision thus bringing the same type of management to this cafe that he now gives to the spacious kitchens and dining rooms at the Hotel Roosevelt.
Florence J. Smith, former principal of Birney School, Anacostia, D.C., died at the home of her brother in Cambridge, Mass., on September 1st, and was buried on the fourth. She is the last of the family of the late John J. and Georgianna O. Smith. John was one of the best known citizens of Boston and an abolitionist member of the legislature.
Miss Smith after completing her education in Boston came to Washington as a teacher, later becoming the principal of the Birney School. Her zeal and persistency in the face of obstacles so effected officials that a 16-room school replaced the four room structure in which she began her work.
A few years since, she retired at her own request and made her home with Dr. Herbert Smith, a brother who had been obliged to resume a Boston residence because of ill health. She had always lived with him in Washington and was unwilling to remain after his departure from the city. Miss Smith was a Past Matron of the Prince Hall Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star and an active member of the St. Luke's Episcopal church. She placed her letter with St. Peters Church in Boston under whose auspices the funeral ceremonies were held. She is survived by a host of friends within and without the District Schools who cherish a memory of one whose character has been written into the better citizenship of the growing ones of a community that loved her. Many of her former pupils now hold responsible positions, and with Garnet C. Wilkinson, one of them, they mourn her passing.

Mrs. Regina M. Cooper, of 117% Thomas street, northwest, who is sailing her husband, Hollandus Cooper, of 2711 Eleventh street, northwest, for an absolute divorce, was awarded $40 a month temporary alimony by Justice Hoehling in the equity division of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
last Friday morning.
When the motion for alimony and
custody of their child,' Roland, 7
years old, came up, E. Russell Kelly,
who appeared for Mr. Cooper, contended
that Mrs. Cooper is an accomplished musician and when
employed regularly was capable of
earning $40 a week.
Justice Hoehling stated that he
did not understand that a wife had
to go out and earn her living and
that he regarded if the duty of the
husband to support the wife.
The question of custody of-the
child was carried over temporarily.
Roland is in Maryland but will he
be brought back into the District of
Columbia for the opening of school.
Attorney George E. C. Hayes, who
is representing Mrs. Cooper, served
notice that he would renew his motion
for custody of the child.
Justice Hoehling indicated that if Mrs. Cooper is given custody of the child, the amount of the temporary alimony will be increased. The case is calendared for trial at the October term of court. It will hardly be reached, however, before next spring.

PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING HAIR and DANDRUFF
Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed.
There’s no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER’S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

Manassas Horse Show
Gives Visitor Some
Conflicting Im-
pressions
i ree eS
On Labor Day, The Tribune family
jumped into its “fivver’ as did some
odd thousands of other Washington
people, and motored to the Manassas
Horse Show. Perhaps for half the
distance we motored over as fine as-
phalt or concrete highway as one
would want to encounter; and, then,
Oh hoy! we were obliged to detour
ten miles over as dusty a highway as
ever provided a screen for a driver
to guess at, gag at, and, if he was
‘a bit sensitive and high strung, to
cuss at. To that condition was. add-
ed the anxiety that assails humanity
as it passes over unknown routes.
“Are we going right?”, “Do you know
where it is?” and like questions beat
upon the mind.
‘These might have been avoided had
the management provided route cards,
or even their normal advertising mat-
ter for the Horse Show at junctions
oc other readside points. The dust
could have been allayed with a little
oil sprinkling; that, those in control
of the roads would have no doubt
been glad to distribute, if they had
had the matter presented to them in
terms of business.
But- any how, we arrived. So it
seemed had several thousand others
whose license plates bore testimony
that besides Virginia and the District,
that Maryland, West Virginia, Penn-
sylvania and Ohio folks had come for
a day or two of the educational and
thrilling pleasures which the Horse
Show assures.
‘The capacity of the premises was
taxed to its limit, long before the
races began. Interests in the well-
managed horse show with blooded
stock, efficient horsemanship and pret-
ty girls was such that the little grand
stand was constantly: packed.
So was the dance hall managed by
Willie Wilson with Alma Lewis a
pretty cashier handling the business
end of the busy floor. The Quince
Orchard band had much to do with
this popularity. R. F, Plummer con-
ducts; the brass and reed instrument
organization that seems equally as
much at home in the hall as) upon
parade. Henry Hartman — brought
this organization from Rockville, Md.
Besides those two worthies, there
were also C. H. Manly, J. H. Jackson,
A. W. White, P. C. Pogue, J. White,
H, Weverson, F. Plummer and A.
Chambers wearing the uniform of
this very excellent musical unit.
In addition to. show features, there
were some concessioners with enough
‘of the speculative novelties that folks
have come to expect on a show
grounds. Otis Cook, Arthur’ Smith
and A, Hill took pictures of the hoys
and thalzgteis eC. J. Poyner and Wm.
Smith had their baby rack on the
line. Wm. Jones and his smiling as-
sigtant were there with a novelty store
‘with which they jumped to Ocean City
for the next date; B. Dent had his
spindie turning. Bryant Porter was
spinning it for neat candy boxes to
the lucky ones, Johnnie Wilson anc
B. Tucker had wheels operating, and
good old Oscar Jenkins, an institu-
tion wherever our folks gather in the
open, had his jewelry and pretty sales.
lady under the top that always comes.
Oscar Washington had his wheel set
up, and there was also a mitt reading
gypsy and an Ofay with a pyramid
of ton pins where the old pitching
arms got a tryout.
‘There is reason to believe that the
Manassas show should have had a
lineup of three times as many con-
eesionaries, for it is the lure of the
many that loosens the play instinet in
humanity. These fellows, too, should
be provided with identification cards
and passes for themselves and their
employees. This would _ facilitate
their work, establish confidence in
their patrons and make easier the
work of such officials as have business
with them.
Overwrought nerves are bad things
for those in charge of the handling of
the public. The Tribune car en-
countered one such official as we en-
tered the gate. Identification, press
courtesies, and even ordinary sense of
hospitality seemed to be unknown to
the very first person we encountered—
the one whose impression stays long-
est and deepest in the public mind.
Another of the sort, was the sec-
retary, from whom this paper, and
also the “Farm and Fireside” and
another white publication sought in
vain for the usual arrangement for
obtaining authentie information. The
secretary of the great Toronto expo-
sition; the Charles M. Schwab Penn-
sylvania Fair; the Lexington, Ken-
tucky Colored Fair; and the’ North
Carolina Negro State Fair, (the two
last having 50,000 patrons and the
former over a hundred thousand), all
have been easier to approach for
Siete aa Meters 9 a BN mer Dee
something to do with their being so
ig.
‘The news man’s troubles were en-
larged by the absence of any official
badges of information or other insig-
nia of rank or news sources. Just
one man, besides the harassed John
W. White, the president, who _ has
most progressive ideas, was met. That
‘was the founder of the association
whose baldric of office as marshal
marked him. Those two men will yet
make this show a nationwide one, if
they can get a trained personnel to
work with them. .
‘Among the interested visitors were
some members of the Charlestown,
(W. Va.) Horse Show Association
H. Rideout, a director, headed the
group of? intelligent and interested
horse men who motored from the
Shenandoah Valley. Sam_ Galloway,
live stock dealer from Charlestown
had a motor load of friends there
with him,
‘An effort to name the Washington
‘people present would be to demand the
‘use of the whole paper, and these visi-
‘tors were at the mercy of the light
fingered gentry ‘who because of the
lack of efficient management, and be-
cause no publicity had written the
show into the class of accepted ‘regu-
lars,” violated the unwritten code of
the underworld and despoiled the
pocket-book of President White him-
self, He lost fifty dollars of per-
sonal money while he ran about the
grounds trying to, function for
dozen indifferent and inefficient help-
ers who should have safeguarded their
president by having an office for him
and reporting to him there.
“White carried on in spite of his
grief as best he could. He is a gam
man and ‘hard worker. He now ha:
an added respect for the use of ar
adequate police service for a show
It is hoped that his associates car
see it too. If they do, there will be

Howard Football Practice to Begin
Headed by Captain Edgar Long, the Howard University football squad will begin practice next Monday afternoon on the university campus. Thirty-five candidates are expected to report Monday. This number will be increased by fifteen Tuesday and ten Wednesday, bringing the total to sixty. Coach Louis L. Watson will be in charge. He will be assisted by Charlie West, former Washington and Jefferson star, who is now a student in the medical school. Coach Watson will also have some of the old men, who are no longer
EDGAR LONG
playing, to help the team this year.
Miller Brothers knew Contrary to reports, the Miller brothers will again be in the Howard line-up. Coach Watson stated today that he was in receipt of a communication from them saying that they would be able to play this season. Bob Miller, a 200-pound guard, was injured in an automobile accident at his home this summer. His brother, G. B. Miller, a 215-pound guard, was operated upon at Freedmen's Hospital during the summer for appendicitis. It was thought that neither would play this season, but both will report for practice and unless some youngsters displace them they will be on the varsity this year.
Among the other players who have been ordered to report for preliminary practice are Long, Campbell and Bell, ends; Smith and Dokes, tackles; Martin, guard; Houghtland Kelly, who played center on the 1923 team but remained out of the game last year; Payne, quarterback; McLean, Dodson, Braden and Warring, half backs. McLean may be used at quarter this year.
Bright prospects among the new men who will report are Dan Brown, Edgar Ross and Jack Coles, all three formerly of Petersburg, who will try out for backfield positions; Parker, formerly of Talladega, who has a reputation as a poster and drop kicker; Tick Smith, of Cincinnati; John Young, a last year's scrub, and Kinney, formerly of Iowa.
First Game Oct. 3.

ARLINGTON ELKS CONTINUE
WINNING STREAK
The Pride of Arlington, Elks, ran their winnings for the season to 18 when they defeated the Alexandria All Stars by a score of 12 to 6, on Sunday at the Arlington diamond. Madison was on the hill for the Elks and never had to extend himself. He had another one of his good days, whiffing eight of the stars and allowing seven scattered hits, one, a home run by A. Brown. His teammates hammered Taylor for nine hits, including a home run by Jones. The pride of Arlington Elks, Labor Day, split a double header the first game going to the Teddy Bears, by a score of 1 to 8, this was a slugfist game and the Bears were the superior and the D's were forced to take their fourth defeat of the season at the hands of this aggregation.
THE SPORT REVIEW
LeDROITS WIN DISTRICT AND MARYLAND CHAMPIONSHIP
Take Three Game Series in Baltimore
By Flash Robeson
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 8—The Le-Droit Tigers, Washington's crack baseball club, won the championship of Maryland and the District of Columbia, by defeating the best teams Maryland had to offer in opposition. The series was played at the Black Sox ball park last Sunday and Monday.
The Hagerstown Eagles failed to appear for their tilt with the District boys. The Pennsylvania Eagles, a team which had beaten every club in Baltimore and other Maryland towns by decisive scores, drew the assignment.
The Baltimore club failed to give the Washington club much opposition. "Nick" Logan of the Baltimore Black Sox was unable to check the Tigers in their march to the championship on Sunday.
Sam Lacey, just back from Rhode Island, pitched the best game of his career, allowing the Eagles only five hits, Burrell, the Eagles' third baseman getting three. The features of the first game other than the batting of Burrell of the Eagles, pitching of Lacey was the fielding and batting of Capt, Kenner "Soup" Turner, "Reds" Harris and "Lefty" Smith. The Eagles and the Tigers drew an assignment to play a double header on Labor Day, and the Tigers showed why they are the Champions of the District by taking both games. In the first game the Tigers surprised the fans by uncorking an "ace in the hole" in "Reds" Harris, who toed the slab and pitched his team to a decisive victory.
Percy Plummer, drew the pitching assignment in the second game on Labor Day, but found the going too rough and gave way to "old reliable" Sam Lacey, who repeated his Sunday performance by holding the Eagles safe.
Keystone Davis, again proved why he is rated the best of District's back stops by playing one of the best games behind the bat ever witnessed in ranks of the Semi-pros.
Lewis, B. Jefferson; Smith, Roberts and Kenner were the batting stars of Monday's game. The playing of Burrell for the Eagles was the only bright feature noted in the Eagles' performances.
On Saturday, Sept. 19th, the "Dry docks" of Sparrow's Point will be played at Baltimore and on Sunday, September 20th, the Tigers will meet their old rivals the Baltimore Black Sox.
Wills Returns Willing To Fight Tunney
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—Harry Wills and Gene Tunney may have their much discussed fistic encounter before the close of the outdoor boxing season after all. The Negro heavyweight champion is back from his European looking great, apparently feeling chipper, and talking fight in a most convincing manner. Harry is willing to fight Jack Dempsey anywhere and at any time and even on a winner take all basis, he says, but admits that he hasn't much hope of ever getting the champion into the ring. Such being the case, he is ready to do business with anyone whom his manager, Paddy Mullins, may care to select.
"Could you get in shape on short notice?" he was asked, shortly after he had stepped off the Aquatiana, "for a tough opponent?"
"Tough ones," giggled Harry, "I didn't know there were any around."
Tunney's name was then brought up. It is plain that Wills doesn't take Gene very seriously, but he intimated if the public was in favor of the match and his manager approved, it was all right with him. "I've about given up hopes of ever getting Dempsey in the ring," declared Wills. "I don't suppose I can blame him in a way. He wants to hang on to his title, as it is always worth some money to him, even if he doesn't do any more real fighting. He knows that if he ever meets me he won't have any more title. So just for that he won't play with Harry Wills. "I'll box the champion in any State or any country and on a winner take all basis. Mr. Dempsey will sure find me an easy chap to do business with—but he don't want to do any business. So what's the use?"
Harry Wills scored one notable victory over Jack Dempsey yesterday. His arrival was marked by a far greater reception than was accorded the champion. A big crowd of admirers were on hand waiting at the dock for Harry and they were headed by a brass band of considerable size and volume and they staged a real old-fashioned parade.
Practically all of the promoters for the local clubs were at the dock to meet Wills. Tex Rickard was conspicuous by his absence. Jimmy De Forest was not present in person, but he had a trusted lieutenant on the job, and the latter had a long and carnest confab with both Wills and Mullins.

A fan thinks that Clark Griffith should be more severely criticised because of his policy which bars a white and a colored team from playing against each other in the Griffin Stadium. It is admitted that Griffith is wrong, however good the motive may be which led him to reach this decision. It is to prevent trouble in his ball park. But there is no more reason to expect trouble on account of a mixed game than there is to expect trouble when two teams of the same race are playing. As long as baseball remains exciting (and in the heat of the game men's nerves become tense) some player or fan will momentarily lose control of himself. That is seen in the big league games daily.
No unusual trouble arises when a white and colored club are playing each other. The fact is there is less tension because of the good nature with which colored players usually play. Semi-pro managers have come to regard colored clubs as better attractions than another white semi-pro team. There is not a week that passes but what the Hildales, the Lincoln Giants, the Cuban Stars and the Bacharach Giants play some white team, and no racial cutbreaks occur. Then, why should it be expected that there would be a race rift if a mixed game should be played in the Griffin Stadium?
But Clark Griffith is to be reasoned with rather than censured. A fair-minded person cannot conclude that the "Old Fox" is moved by prejudice. The facts are against such a conclusion. The Griffith Stadium is the one place of amusement in the city where money determines the seat a fan will occupy. Certain dates are given to Colored organizations and the schools just as is done with the whites. Colored teams are permitted to use the ball yard in the absence of the Griffmen and he asks only a percentage of the gate receipts for the use of the park. Surely a man moved by prejudice would not do these things.
Rather the colored baseball magnate—if such there be—should be censured for his failure to own and operate ball parks of his own. In his opinion, ownership of a ball park is not necessary. All he needs do is get a set of worn uniforms, and he is all set to run a ball club.
No, Griffith is wrong, but he is not to be censured.
lie Ross and a score of others well known in fistulcuffs crowded the dock, while a battalion of newspaper men held consultation with Wills and his manager, Paddy Mullins. Will's wife held a reception on the pier while the custom officials were examining the Wills baggage. Capt. Bill Jones of Southampton waited outside the pier with the Franzen Vanity Ball Room Band, which blared out a triumphal tune when Wills left the dock. Sid Tischner, representing the Grand Street boys, also was on hand.
Brookland Giants Win
The Brookland Giants defeated the Washington Black Barons, Sunday 2-0, in a five inning game. A mis- understanding caused the break up of the game. The Brookland Giants defeated the Gansville Giants to a score of 23-5 at Wilsons Grove on Labor Day.

If manager Tucker of the Howard Theatre can maintain the caliber of bill that the house submitted for the opening week of the season, there is a fine winter in store for its patrons. One of the best theatrical salesmen in the country, Jimmie Cooper of burlesque fame collaborated with the 'biggest' little drawing card in the country to achieve the pleasant result. They were supplemented by Will Masten and Virgine Masten, an original Washington girl who brought with them the little tabloid company with which they made a two year tour over the "Big Time." Then came Amanzie Richardson the hard working comic and his band, the same organization that Cooper has made famous in New York theatres. Mrs. Richardson, one of the nearest little woman Russian style dancers, completed that act. These folks with a strong feature film packed the old Howard, and despite the low price scale, there is reason to believe that there was a hot weather record broken.
Earnest Morrison (Sunshine Sammy) was the big draw. The little California Boy Scout and his supporting Co. Harold Barget and Monette Moore, with Sammy's father, mother and tutor were met at the station by a Washington Scout trout and escorted to the theatre in a parade that threatened to dwarf the firemen's parade, which was the day's feature in the city on Labor day. All that saved the firemen's pride was the fact that the routes did not conflict.

"Sunshine Sammy" to Head Own Musical Comedy
Joseph Morrison, father and manager of "Sunshine Sammy," authorized the release of the news that the young star of the film field will be sent on tour in a musical comedy that has just been finished by Cecil Mack (C. C. McPherson) with music by Jimmie Johnson and stage directions by Jesse Shipp. The Boy will be assisted by John Rucker, one of the best known of our comedians.
The quartette of finished producing people each holding a well earned place of prominence in his own field assures a production of unusual merit. Abe Feinberg has charge of the business end of the production and he plans to provide the piece with a lavish setting of costumes and scenery. The opening is tentatively set for October 5, and rehearsals are now in progress for the chorus; but this date is subject to the possibility of rearranging or cancelling some of the vaudeville engagements already

Believe It or No; An
Exhibit of Ingratitude
A year ago, an unfortunate band
requ withpepeeiie watt to tha humhe
n wit went to
in an eastern city in a spiritless
mood. The usual good Samaritan
materialized for them. A Dance
Hall manager took them under his
wing, established them at a steady
salary with a live promoter, provided
them’ with a room for their instru-
ments, free access to his hall for re-
hearsals, ‘became their unsalaried
booking agent for “Gigs” and when
summer came ‘with the inevitable
closing of the dance hall season, co-
operated with their promoter to the
extent that the band worked three
nights per week in a park under
the Samaritan’s control, To this was
added a nice salary for Sunday con-
cert work.
‘Then came a time when the Sama-
ritan needed’ some-musical co-opera-
tion in opening his newly equipped
casino for a pre-season date that was
intended a, as a_means of ex-
hibiting the hall for Winter bookings.
Tt was definitely known that the en-
gagement was to be profitless—just
a “ballyho” for hall and band. Each
was equally advertised.
Did the grateful band work? It
not only did not; but refrained from
making known the fact until they
had; obtained all of the advance pub-
licity incident to the affair. To all
intents they “Jammed” their benefac-
tor. But, they had reckoned without
his resourcefulness. He hastily found
substitutes. The dance went on. To
the credit of one musician in the out-
fit, be it said that he came in and
expressed his shame for the band.
Now wouldn’t that jar you?

N.Y. Outlook Improved
The Vaudeville outlook among the
Independants holds promise of being
much improved for the coming sea-
son. More theatres have been added
to the lists of the Independent book-
ers. It is for these offices that the
majority of Negro acts find employ-
ment in the metropolitan district.
A, & B, have added six houses to
their string. Jack Linder is now
booking 24 theatres in towns adja-
cent to New York and has four Sun-
day concerts in town. Walter Plim-
mer and Fally Marcus both report in-
creases in the lists they handle, tho
no names of the added theatres have
been given out. These with the split
week available at the New Orpheum
in Newark will serve to give en-
couragement to acts to jump into the
big town; and every act should do
so once each year, if only to garner
new ideas, get the new music and
replenish the wardrobe.
HE'S THE SAME OLD TONEY
The September issue of The Chi-
cago Bee carried the initial page of
Theatricals edited by our friend
and fellow worke> in the field of
amusement journalism, TONEY
LANGSTON, — known ' wherever
showfolks foregather as “The Old
Roll Top.” In addition to the ge-
nial face of Toney at a column
head, we find that most of his
former Defender contributors have
remained with the big chief. The
mechanical work on the page was
not up to standard, but that was a
mere accident of the print shop.
The “Pep” and personality that
make a live Page was much in evi-
dence. So what matter mere me-
chanics? It's Toney that show
folks and seribes love, and we are
glad to have knowledge, that, the
imstein pound Editor “rolls” at

A CHICAGO LETTER
BOB HAYES swrites an interesting
review of theatrical activities in Chi-
cago. From his communication we
learn that S. H.-Dadley, with the
film ‘Easy Money" ‘and the Dudley
Vaudeville unit packed the Grand
there precisely as the same bunch
broke some records for E. B. Dudley
at the Koppin Theatre, Detroit, The
unit includes Sarah Martin, Wiggens
and Wirrens, Stompy and Stella, und
Robinson and Mack. Dudley has add-
ed to this strong bill the Olden-Town-
send Trio, “Babe” Townsend and
Charlie Olden and a supporting artist
in a dramatic sketch.
“How Come,” the Eddie Hunter
show, out under the management of
Sam Grisman concluded two weeks of
smashingly big business in the Grand
Theatre when they were replaced by
the Dudley engagement. The show
could have drawn for another week
had contracts permitted it to run
longer.
Margie Cohen has come into her
own. ‘The tall Texas girl now heads
a revue that made the patrons of the
Monogram sit up and take notice,
Princess White is an outstanding
member of the company and she is
headed for Broadway, according to the
judgement of some ‘of the well in-
formed who witnessed her work. Har-
ry Brock and Odell Irwin provide the
comedy for the combination, and they

PROPAGATING THE GERM SEGREGATION
"It has come to me on several occasions," says a reader of The Washington Tribune, "that the Negro citizens of Washington are being humiliated by repeated refusal of service at Koss's Drug Store soda fountain, at the corner of Seventh Street and Florida Avenue, Northwest, located in the heart of the Negro section."
The complaint here made brings to our attention another demonstration of our propagating a germ which makes life so intolerable for us. We, as a race, seem to think that, if we can purchase drugs at Koss's, it is more or less all right to be refused service at the soda fountain in the building, on the same floor—void of partition—by the same clerks. We do not seemingly realize that we are fostering a condition against which we make protests. We simply go on spreading the germ segregation until it has a cancerous effect. We accept conditions, such as that of which our reader complains; we acquiesce in segregated golf links and tennis courts; we scramble for seats in a section which the authorities of the Gayety, National, Belasco and other downtown theatres call "nigger heaven"; and then we denounce this same condition in the departments of the government, in public utility services, in residential allocation and in other places where segregation is most flagrant.
The remedy lies wholly in the hands of the individual Negro himself. He, as an integral part of economic Washington—composing one-fourth of the population of the city—is in a position to boycott successfully any and all places which practice segregation. The crusade which the Negro druggists of this city waged against a local ice cream company is the most recent and efficacious protest against segregation put over by citizens of this city. It forced the offending company to employ members of the Race, and to accord us better service, generally.
As long as we protest in words but act to the contrary, we may expect segregation to obtain. If segregation is as distasteful to us as we profess, we deny the assertion when we accept anything under segregated conditions. And especially is this true when we spend our money under such conditions. The profits from Koss's soda fountains are not sufficient to carry his overhead expenses. If he denies you service at the fountain, the only logical thing to expect you to do is to refuse to purchase drugs from him. The week his sale of drugs falls off is the week in which he will begin to change his policy. From casual observation of his patrons, it is easily seen that the greater part of his trade is Colored. Located as he is in the heart of intelligent Negro Washington, there is no reason why Negroes should not demand just such service as conforms to their liking, or force him through boycott, to sell out. This can be done and has been done in the case of Greek lunch rooms, around Seventh Street and Florida Avenue. The whole thing rests with you. What will you do?

FONTANA WILL TRAIN RACE ARTIST IN OPERA ROLE
Some time since we made mention of the fact that Ferrari-Fontana, an Italian tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, offered to try out such race singers who may apply, the successful applicant to receive training for a role in Verdi's "Aida." The winner of the final tests was Miss Marguerite Avery, of New York City, who will be personally trained by Eldorado Ferrari-Fontana.
Ruth Lee McAbee, Baltimore soprano, who made such a splendid impression in a vocal recital at Metropolitan Baptist church recently, was among the four surviving entrants but Miss Avery won out finally. We learn with a degree of pleasure that Mrs. McAbee's singing won acclaim from an enthusiastic New York audience. Success to Miss Avery.

While interest in Negro participation has been very slow in developing information from sources close to the general headquarters discloses that a field force, and office organization and practical efforts to enlist Negro support will soon be established by the aboved named committee. It is unfortunate that the whole organization could not have been functioning during the summer as have the white units. It takes just as long to arouse Negro interest as it does the attention of any other people. However the committee selected is one that can turn the trick, if it can be accomplished in the time left in which to work.

Chicago, Illinois—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Press dispatches from the Independent, published in Honduras, South America, have been received praising the work of Professor N.

Helen Freund with the Chicago Civic Opera Company appearing at Ravina this season with marked success. Now enters the select group another new star in the person of Miss Marguerite Avery being trained for a special operatic role in New York City. In this connection we would call attention to another bright star, hailing from the Western borders in a pianistic capacity as soloist in the person of Mrs. Lorenzo Cole of Seattle. She recently won a contest in which there were over fifty contestants. To prove her extraordinary ability she learned in less than a month's time the "Islamey Fantasie" by Balaji Srew and its a bugbear to any minor pianist.

EX-SLAVE STORY TELLER DIES AUBURN, N. Y.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Perry Williams, perhaps one hundred and twenty-five years old, is dead at his home here. In his passing Auburn has lost one of its most vivid living reminders of the stirring days of the Civil War, for he was a veteran of that great struggle. He was one of the few residents of Central New York horn and reared as a slave in the South.
He was known as a teller of tales of the Civil War and ante-bellum days. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he entered the service as a cook in the officers' mess of the Ninth Light Artillery, Union Army. He had spent many years trying to obtain a pension as a Civil War veteran, but died without succeeding.

1920
ducted by the Ivan D. B. Bell Realty Co. promoters of a real estate promotion at Lake Ivanhoe, Wis. A Chicago newspaper participated in the handling of the affair and the publicity incident to it attracted many entries. The young lady who by virtues of her award assumes the title of Miss Ivanhoe has been entered in the National Beauty Cultrists' contests at Atlantic City. Lake Ivanhoe is a summer project located about 65 miles north of Chicago, and there is reason to believe from the popularity it has achieved that the resort will in all probability become one of the distinctive summer places now becoming plentiful in our land. "Miss Ivanhoe" will find enough competition in the East to make the trip at least interesting.

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 price of our funerals. We leave that entirely to those whom we serve.
We think that every normal family knows better what it wants to spend and is able to spend on its 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 to make it.

The Salesperson
Negro business has been developing. We observe proficient advancement in its every manifestation: but, as commercial matters are measured in this land of the Free, we have yet far to go. With this admitted, it is but natural that we should want to begin the journey toward the bigger success. The prime essential to any and every business is TO SELL GOODS OR SERVICE, in fact, usually both. Such being true, it is quite obvious that we can develop our enterprises no faster than we can provide selling people. The thrift of our group that is building the assets of banks, insurance companies and Fraternity treasuries are in some measure piling up the capital needed to finance the enterprises that may come into being, that is, what capital is needed to assist the individual with a meritorious enterprise, for no way exists for any business to be established entirely on credit. Not if it is to be at all substantial.
Once established, the business or its products must be sold to the public. We have but scratched the surface of the selling game. We have representation in minor places, we have agents on the road, some door to door solicitors, insurance agents, and the concessioners who sell commodities on fair grounds, at picnics in addition to the behind-the-counter group. While few compared to the like group in another race, they total many people—people who must be encouraged if our businesses are to grow.
In recognition of the potentialities of these people for the betterment of us all; and with a view of being of service to our commercial life, The Tribune will establish a column as a fixed feature of the paper where those who are now sales-men and sales-women may exchange ideas, advance opinions and make the road easier for those who follow them.
The department is intended to answer the questions that assail the minds of those who long for a selling chance, and to provide those answers in the form of actual observations and reported experiences of our salespeople who are already engaged in the different phases of merchandising.
We want, too, to become the channel thru which those who would interest the salespeople of the group with opportunities hoping to serve generally as a connecting medium between those who sell and those who have something to sell.

EARLY REGISTRATION
INDICATES BIG ATTEND-
ANCE AT HOWARD
Mr. F. D. Wilkinson, Registrar of Howard University, Washington, D.C., reports that 947 new applicants have submitted requests for "permits to register" at the opening of the Autumn term, October 1, 1925. The registration of students for the College Departments will begin September 29-30, to be followed by the registration of students of the Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Law School students on October 1. When it is remembered that 893 pupils were enrolled in the day classes of the Spring Quarter of last year, it will be noted that more new pupils have applied for admission this year than were enrolled in all College Departments last spring. Considering the fact that the enrollment in the College Department for the three quarters of last year was 1339 and that 97 graduated, there remain approximately 1242 who will probably be returning to Howard to complete their education.
These figures seem to indicate that the University at the opening of the new term in the Fall, will enroll the largest opening attendance in its history.
Doctor D. Butler Pratt, Dean of the School of Religion, reports that the number of applications for entrance to the School of Religion next year is far greater than ever before in the history of that school and similar reports have been submitted by Dr. E. A. Balloch, Dean of the Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical Colleges and by Justice F. W. Booth, Dean, and Mr. James C. Waters, Secretary of the Law School. Despite the higher requirements for admission to the School of Law, the promise is that the attendance at that school will be in no way below that of last year.

“SUNSHINE SAMMY” GUEST OF
TRIRUNE
While your Editor was pouring over
a pile of mail that consisted o7 let-
ters from the many ‘Tribunites who
had gent in their names in the “What's
in a Name?” contest, there came to
his desk @ smiling ray of sunshine—
yes @ real, very much alive ray of
sunshine. My! Yes! You have guessed
itt It was “Sunshine Sammy” him-
self.
“Sunshine Sammy's” real name is
Frederick E. Morrison, he is clevea
years old, is.a real honest to goodness
‘Boy, alert, smiling, courteous, and stu-
dious. 5
I heard a lad say’ the other day
that he wished he was “Sunshine
Sammy” so that he would not have to
attend school.
Sammy does not think that way. In
company with him is his father and
mother, a stage partner, and a tutor.
During the school seasen whea he
is on tour, he has regalar school hours
just like any other regular boy. His
vacation is near its close and he too
‘must. get out his grammar and his-
tory books, next wetk. He is in the
seventh grade. i
Sammy's stage partner is 2 ixteen-
year-old lad whose mame is Harold
Baquet. Harry is’ avery fine bal-
lad singer with a very comm:ndable
woice. Like Sammy. be isa native of
California. S
Sammy intends to go to college af-
ter he finishes high school, where he
intends to study for w profession.
Edward Lawson, an ‘office boy of
this paper, was host to Sammy and
Harold while they were inspecting the
‘Tribune plant.
AMERICAN NEGRO MUSIC
(continued from last week.)
“In view of the fact that Negro edu-
cation, even to the extent of being
able to read, was practically a nonen-
tity during the slave period, it has
always been a mystery how the lead-
ers of the plantation gatherings were
able to tell the Bible stories. One ex-
planation which seems plausible is
that the so-called body servants were
allowed to accompany their masters’
family to Divine worship ae in_some
instances were allowed to Bit in the
galleries of the churches. These
slaves, together with others who stood
around the open doors and. windows
of the churches, eaught the Divine
messages and with astonishing mem-
ories carried them’ back whole or in
part to the plantation meeting.
“Although the folk-songs are still
used at camp meetings and prayer
meetings for the most part in the
South, a large number of Negro
churches have splendid choirs and not
a few-have paid quartettes. In num.
erous choirs the beautiful quality of
‘the: Negro voice is often heard to ad.
‘vantage im hymns’ and cratoric- selee-
‘tions. Oftimes the individual. choir
voices show cultivation, or quite as
is heard under the leadership of
trained choirmasters.”
‘The Negro and American: Art
“With earlier educaticpal advan-
tages the Negre could have undoubted.
ly contributed much to American mu-
sic, poetry and literature. Witness
in quite recent years the eomtribution
‘to American music by Burleigh, the
poetry of Dunbar and Brathfaite, and
‘the stories of Chestrut, to say nothing
‘of various literary efforts ff teal
worth by numerous others: With
such an ancestry here in America, the
Negro of today has much to build up-
on, much to’ offer America in the way
of national arts.”
THE NEW NEGRO YEAR BOOK:
‘The 1925 Negro Year Book is now
ready for distribution. This seventh
annual edition contains a very large
amount: of new material. The: in-
formation contained in previous vol-
umes has been revised, rewritten: and

pecially, fall are the sections“on race
