LINCOLNS CLAIM
VIRGINIA HONORS
Alexandria Athletic Union
Closes Successful Season.

The Lincoln Athletic Association, of
Alexandria Va. is one Of the promising
athletic organizations for colored men in
that town, and perhaps the strongest Of
its kind in Northern Virginia. The mem-
bers comprise a gentlemenly set of fell
lows. most of whom are undergraduates
or graduates of NJ street and Armstrong
high schools of-this city.
The football team Of the club made An
enviable record for Itself this season.
Armstrong Tech was early on the sched-
ule ana defeated the Alexandria eleven
after a hard battle by a score OF 10 to O.
Manassas Institute team was met, and
the Alexandria team won by the same
score that the Armstrong lads later won
by from Manassas.
Among other teams played was the NJ
street high school eleven. which could
only play tie game with their opponents.
and the Warrenton. Va. football team
found defeat on Thanksgiving Day at
the instance of these Lincoln A. A. boys.
The credit for this seasons remarkable
showing. earning as II does the title of
cOlored champions of Northern Virginia
falls chiefly to the jealous efforts of Mr..
Watson. the manager. and piayeT-coach
Dixon. Mr. Watson has found time To
develop the interests OF the club, although
a very busy man, and Dixon. a senior at
Armstrong Manual Training School. from
his position as quarter back has piloted a
winning bunch.
Majors and Capt. Rich as half backs
Savoy and Hawkins at ends. and Dixon
at quarter. were the most striking players
OF all the Virginia teams

ANTIQUES ARE KEPT

Customs Appraiser Refuses to
Hold Secret Inquiry as
to Trade Values

In view of the startling account
given Thursday by Edward Curtis, auc-
tioneer of antiques, of the way the
treasures of near real old mahogany
are put together in Paris for the
trade" an effort was made yesterday
by attorneys for several firms here to
have the hearing before General APP
praiser of Customs W. B. Howell con-
tinued behind closed doors.
Attorney Joseph L. Bley, represent
ing the shippers and the firm Of c. d.
Bunker & Co., insisted that the pro-
ceedings should be public, and the mo-
ton for a star chamber inquiry was
denied.
The antiques and furniture in ques-
ton belonged to D. n. & E. Walter &
Co, and had been valued on the con-
suIar invoices in Paris as worth $780,
OOO The hearing was merely to de-
termine whether or not a value could
be put on antiques in Paris. French
antique, in France, Is only an old
piece of furniture. but in America IL
is a priceless rarity.

FURTHER LIGHT THROWN
ON FLOWER COMPANY
In Absence of Wife w. c. Rail
StOn Explains

Editor Call: In your issue of yeSter-
day is published an article which 1
hope you will permit me to answer in
the absence of my wife; to whom part
of the article refers.
l was surprised to read that Mrs.
Thomas II. Stevenson proposed to oust
both Mrs. Ralston and Mrs. Hayes from
the board of directors of the SO called
Ladies' flower and plant company, when
both of the ladies mentioned, together
with Mrs California Newton and Mrs.
j. K. Firth, had resigned as members
of the board over 10 days ago. Their
designations We're presented in writ
ing and should be on file with the
president, Mrs. Stevenson.
The facts in the case are about as
follows: These ladies joined with Mrs
Stevenson in the organization of
flower and plant company. In a gem
eral way its purposes were stated Be
fore permitting my wife to obligate
herself as a director and asking her
friends to join In the enterprise as
stock holders I told her she should
have Mr.. Stevenson (who was to be the
manager) present a statement as to
the probable cost of the land, a nur-
sery, the expense of it's maintenance
and the probable profits which would
accrue. This, it seems, was not done
Misrepresentation were made and T
did. No one can question her right to
do that.
At this meeting Mrs. Stevenson re-
quested all of the ladies present not to
make public the fact that they had re-
signed, and as far as l know this was
followed out.
It is not pleasant to be compelled in
this manner to be so ungallant as
fatty to contradict a woman, but as
my wife is absent L deem 1t my duty
to do so.
Now that Mrs. Stevenson has ex-
pressed herself as desirous of ousting
Mrs. Ralston, no doubt she will imme-
diately return to her the 800 which
she advanced to help pay the expense
of organization. for Mrs. Ralston will
certainly refuse to be a stock holder in
any organization run by people who
indulge in such methods of misrepre
sentation. w. c. RALSTON.
