The members of the association represent the combined interest of The Howard, The Dunbar, The Hinwatha, The S. H. Dudley, The Mid-City, The Foraker, The Jewel and The Florida Avenue theatres. The purpose of the association is seto forth in the following resolution unanimously adopted. Whereas the owners and managers of the theatres whose patronage is mainly the colored people of the District of Columbia, have organized the Colored Exhibitors Association, having for its object the promotion of the mutual interests of these theatres in particular, and race enterprises in general; and Whereas, the said association comprises the pioneer theatres for our people in (this city and in the United States where the theatre business among our people is owned and controlled by our own men) the owners and management of which have spent years of untiring efforts and sacrifice and thousands of dollars to both develop the business and educate our people to the point of making said theatre business profitable; and Whereas, these theatres have at all times given their loyal support to all movements to the advancement of our people; and Whereas, we desire to call the attention of the colored citizens of Washington to these facts, and impress upon them the necessity at this time of giving their loyal support to their own people to preserve these businesses which represent the enterprise and business endeavor of our own men, which if once lost to us will never be regained; it is Resolved, that we bind ourselves in a bond of union; to work together for the common good of each other and the race; to appeal to the public for its race loyalty and support; to stand unqualifiedly on the principle that having been segregated against our will by people of other races, thereby necessitating our own enterprises, we will maintain our own theatres for our own people without regard to the excessive money power of those who oppress us on the one hand and ask our support on the other. AFRICAN GIRLS TO BE MODISTES London, May 11.—Several native African girls have come to London to study dressmaking. They say the girls in Africa who wish to be gowned fashionably have to wait too long for consignments of feminine wearing apparel to arrive from Europe. Hence they are preparig themselves to meet the need for modistes in Africa. DENIED NEW TRIAL Decatur, Ga., May 7.—John S. Williams, Jasper county farmer, under life sentence for the murder of one of the eleven men found dead on or near his farm, was denied a new trial last week by Judge John John B. Hutcheson in superior court here. Counsel for Williams announced the fight would be taken to the supreme court. The motion for a new trial was submitted without argument by Greene Johnson, chief counsel for Williams, who rested his appeal on the main ground that the court erred in the Newton county trial in admitting evidence to show other murders than that of Lindsey Peterson, a farm hand, the crime for which Williams was placed on trial. Announcement was made that Clyde Manning, farm boss on the Williams plantation and indicted jointly with the planter, would be placed on trial at Covington, Ga., on May 30. HON. ASBURY STIRS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HON. ASBURY STIRS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DELIVERS POINTED ADDRESS BEFORE THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS KING OF LIBERIA SPEAKS DELEGATES WERE RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT HARDING AT THE WHITE HOUSE The National Race Congress which met in its sixth annual session here last week, was a history making one. The President, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, opened the Congress Wednesday at the Zion Baptist church on F street S. W. The delegation was not as large as was expected but the work accomplished was of a very high type. "The Negro and His Industrial Relations" was the topic for the first day, which was opened with a paper by Dr. George M. Haynes, formerly of the Labor Department. He mentioned as some of the causes for nonemployment of people was shiftlessness, non-efficiency and ignorance. As an offset for this, he would advocate vocational training, savings and thrift, foster land buying and joining build-and loan associations. This topic was discussed by several member of the congress, some of whom strayed from the subject and were checked by Dr. A. A. Graham, of Virginia, who said that one big weakness of the people in their gatherings, was to enlarge upon and stress our differences and disagreements which were generally petty when compared with the real problems that are confronting us. Inter-racial Relations The theme for the second day was the "Negro and Inter-Racial Relations." This subject was opened by Dr. J. R. Diggs, of Baltimore. This was elaborated upon by the reports of the racial conditions by the delegates. At 12:30, Thursday, May 5, the delegates assembled at the White House and were received by President Harding, at which time a petition was presented to him by Rev. A. C. Garner, of Washington. It asked for cessation of lawlessness as manifested in lynchings, riots, peonage, and discrimination in the administration of justice. Unjust restriction of suffrage Direct violation of the constitution in the transportation of interstate passengers. Un-American practices of discrimination and segregation on account of color in civil service in Washington.

Clinton, for twenty-five years bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and one of the most popular and influential ministers of the south, died early today at his home here. He was sixty-two years of age. Invitations had been issued for the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his promotion to the office of bishop, to have been observed May 26. Bishop Clinton was a member of the board of trustees of Howard University, Washington, D. C. At the time of his death he was a director of the American Bible Society and a life member of the international Sunday school committee. He has been connected with the A. M. E. Z. Church for a number of years and was held in high esteem by all. G. O. P. BLAMED FOR CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH ASSERTS NATIONAL COMMITTEE MAN HILLES OF NEW YORK BEFORE SAILING AGAINST ANY CUTTING TO REDUCE REPRESENTATION WOULD CONFIRM WRONGS NOW EXISTING THERE New York, May 10—Charles D Hilles, Republican national committee man from New York and former national committeeman chairman, Tuesday voiced his opposition to an effort to revise downward the South's representation at the national convention in 1924—a subject which will be up for consideration when the committee meets in Washington June 8. He also proposed a new plan for representation at the convention, based upon increasing the number of delegates from Republican strongholds, but maintaining the present representation from Southern States. Mr. Hilles asserted there is no occasion "for a further surgical operation in the South," particularly as the party there has gained by leaps and bounds and deserves encouragement rather than repression. "It is contended," he said, "by those who are active in party affairs in the states south of the traditional Mason and Dixon line, that the justification for cutting down the number of delegates rests solely on the failure of Republicans in those States to bring out their votes, when, in point of fact, that failure is due in large measure to intimidation and a denial of suffrage to the Negro, which is an invasion of his constitutional rights. To penalize these men for failure to vote under circumstances beyond their control would be, they argue, to legalize their disfranchisement." He said that while the committee can not correct the abuses complained of, it can refrain from taking a step which would carry a strong implication that it was a confirmation of the irregular manner in which the Southern States have deprived the Negroes of the vote. FORMER INTERNES TO MEET The association of former interes of the Freedmen's Hospital will convene in this city, June 7, 8, 9. Many former interes are expected to be present and elaborate plans are being made for their entertainment during their stay here. Watch this Corner for our Bonafide Circulation PRICE 5 CENTS es Stir GAP WIDENS AS PARENTS LEAGUE KICKS GAP WIDENS AS PARENTS LEAGUE KICKS PARENTS LEAGUE SENDS PETITION TO JUSTICES OF THE DISTRICT COURT HOUSTON DENIES CHARGES APPOINTMENT COMES CLOSE TO BEING BIRTHDAY PRESENT Attoreny William L. Houston was appointed this week, by the justices of the District Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy at the expiration of the term of Attorney Fountain Peyton, which ends June 30. Mr. Houston has been a member of the District bar for 29 years and is a professor of law in the law department of Howard University. Mr. Houston's fifty-first birthday is Saturday May 14 and his appointment coming this week is a pretty nice birthday present. At the regular weekly meeting Monday night, of the Parents League at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M street, the question of Attorney Houston's appointment came up for discussion which ended in a resolution being drawn and adopted, concluding the same. These resolutions were sent to the justices of the District Court and given out to the press. The Resolution "We the Parents League, in regular meeting assembled, May 9, 1921, protests against the appointment of William L. Houston, as representative of the colored people upon the Board of Education of the District of Columbia for the following reasons: 1. It is an insult to the parents of the 20,000 colored children in the public schools of the District, in that he is now and has been during the present school agitation, the attorney for Roscoe C. Bruce, the storm center of this condition of unrest. 2. That he is now the discredited and repudiated ex-National Grand Master of the G. U. O. O. F., whose membership is made up of more than a half million of colored men. 3. His appointment supplants a worthy and highly esteemed representative of the colored race. Signed by Dr. B. F. W. Charles, J. C. Von Todd, A. E. Murray, George C. Smith and Thomas Johnson, committee." The school board is composed of nine members, three of whom are colored. The other two members are Mrs. Coralie, F. Cook, and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson. Mrs. Susie R. Rhodes and Edwin C. Graham, whose terms expire on the same date as Attorney Peyton's, were reappointed for three years. Mr. Houston say that he is earnestly interested in the public schools of Washington and does not see why they should not be the best in the country. On being informed of the protest of the Parents League, Attorney Houston denied the charges of the Parents League. SAVES WHITE MEN FROM MOB New Orleans, La., May 9—Joseph Rini and Andrea Samantina, both Italians, were rescued from a mob by M. E. Garirson a trusty of the prison here.

The men are alleged to have participated in a bank robbery and a murder. 2 MOTHER'S DAY OBSERVED Sunday May 8, was duely observed in all the churches of the city as Mothers' Day. The white and red roses were much in evidence at all of the services. The beautiful sunny day was conducive to church going and at eleven o'clock the streets were thronged with gayly dressed pedestrians, it was really too pretty a day to ride, winding their way to the church of their choice. Various topics were fitted to the day. One pastor discussed "Eve the First Mother," "Tabitha, A Mother of Joppa," was another subject; "Mother, Home and Heaven" furnished the subject for another pastor, while another talked of "Mother and the Home." Rev. Tanner of the A. M. E. Church made a pertenent statement on the subject of motherhood when he said that "so many women were loathe to child-bearing, saying that they do not want to be bothered with children; then someone made a big mistake in ever being bothered with that person, as a child." The following poems bear a message to all. THE PART-TIME MOTHER This is the day you dedicate to Mothers; All through the land I see them, proud and glad, Leaning upon the arm of some tall stripling, Or cherishing some little lass or lad. I see them in their homes, these happy Mothers, Busy from dawn until the twilight falls At household tasks, so dear to every woman, And answering a hundred childish calls. All honor to them, as they love and labor; But I would ask you, for a little space, To turn your thoughts toward the Part-Time Mother, Fighting the world in some dead Father's place. She enwies not the butterflies of fashion, Who flit about her on their giddy ways; She enwies not their garments or their jewels; But -ah, she enwies them their leisure days! A day to mend the small, neglected stockings; To wash the clothing soiled by childish play; A day to cook the "goodies" dear to childhood; To be at hand in trouble or dismay. It is so hard to shut the door behind her And leave, for such long hours, the wistful face, Dependent on the whim of some good neighbor, Who, half resentful, takes her vacant place. Remember, then, I pray, the Part-Time Mother, Toiling to fill the mouths that must be fed; Remember, too ,the children who are missing The mother-brooding that is more than bread. And when today you wear the White Carnation, Lift up this plea to God, amid your praise: "Give back their children to the Part- Time Mothers! And let them be just Mothers all their days!" FLORENCE VAN CLEVE, In New York Times STARTS FIGHT OVER WEDDING DETAILS A fight over premarriage arrangements between Mrs. Lizzie Clay, Nineteenth and C streets northeast, and her prospective husband, Walter Shanks, 1317 Linden Court northeast, resulted in both being treated at the Casualty Hospital and later locked up at the Ninth precinct charged with assault last week. According to the record the fight occurred at the home of the prospective bride when the two, who were planning for the wedding could not agree. The woman suffered bites about the neck and hands while the man sustained a scalp wound. It was not stated at the prison as to whether the couple would again attempt to map out their course over the rough waters of the matrimonial sea after such an eventful start.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 CRITICS OF FRENCH COLONIAL TROOPS ATTACKED IN HOUSE Recently in the U. S. House of Representatives, Honorable Martin B. Madden of Illinois spoke with particular reference to certain statements which have been made derogatory to the services of colored troops abroad. Mr. Madden, through a sense of fair play, insisted that certain correspondence he had received from Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, Howard University, together with other letters and newspapers reports which clearly and definitely controverted the charge made against colored troops should be entered in the Congressional Record as an offset to the propaganda which has been under way for some months to discredit not only the record of colored American troops abroad but the record of French colonial troops in the occupied area as well. Dr. Scott assembled a formidable array of documents to controvert this German propaganda in America including a letter written by Ambassador Jusserand of the French Republic to Mr. Henry E. Parker, of the Howard Park Citizens' Association, Washington, D. C., in which M. Jusserand states that the allegations constantly and persistently spread by German propaganda against our colored troops are absolutely unfounded; that their behavior does not justify in the least the scurrilous accusations freely launched against them in sheets sent here from Germany, ready printed and in enormous quantities, for distribution all over the country. The correspondence also contained clippings from the New York Times, the Washington Post, Associated Press dispatches, and correspondence between Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri, and former Secretary of State Colby. "Under all the circumstances," Dr. Scott said in his letter to Congressman Madden, "it must be clearly evident that a grave injustice has been done these French colonial troops, who fought so bravely against the Teutonic enemies during the world conflict. Their services were then regarded at face value. They helped to save the precious jewel of liberty, for all the world. They proved to be troops not afraid of Germany's best and most seasoned veterans. It seems particularly malignant under the circumstances not to have in the Congressional Record the above statements, which correct the very unfair —to use no more vigorous language—propaganda which has been circulated against them in this country. I refer to the matter as a colored American, because propaganda reflections of the same character were quite generally circulated about colored American troops who served in France. The labels in that case were finally and effectively disposed of, as they have been in the case mentioned above." Congressman Madden has again won the wholesouled approval of colored Americans for his courageous action in combating prejudice against our colored troops. His remarks have been reprinted in pamphlet form and are being very widely distributed. MANY OWNERS FORCED TO REPAIR HOUSES Commisisoner James M. Oyster is determined to give the people of Washington better houses if he can't give them more of them; the moribund "board for the condemnation of insanitary houses" in its first report brought out the fact that 11 houses had been order repaired and 10 ordered torn down.

Out of seventy-five places inspected by the board nearly 30 per cent were found in immediate need of repairs or unfit for human habitation. People living in houses that are in need of repairs should send in their complaints to the office of Commsisioner Oyster.

Advocates of the measure heard were Luther C. Steward and Miss Ethel Smith and others representing various departments. Senator Sterling, chairman of the Senate committee on civil service, and Representative Lehlbach, head of the similar committee in the House, conferred and reached a tentative agreement yesterday to begin hearings on legislation for reclassification May 16. It is hoped to speed reports to both branches of Congress as a result of joint hearings. WELL KNOWN CITIZEN PASSES AWAY Mr. George Thomas, well-known citizen passed away Sunday, May 8, at 30 P.

The different organizations of the city were invited to participate and judging from vast throngs that attended this affair; many of the fraternal orders accepted and assisted in making the entertainment the huge success, that it was.

A prize of $5.00 in gold was awarded to the Knight of Pythias for having the largest number present. Master Leonard Spencer, mascot of the Washington Patriarch) No. 18, widely known as the smallest Patriarch in America, fully attired in the regalia of a Patriarch, even to the minutest detail, furnished the real attraction of the evening. Mr. Andrew Coleman, who bears the distinction of being the oldest Patriarch in the city, was present and was the recipient of many congratulations from friends. A parade, formed in front of the Pythian building, preceded the entertainment. The newly organized Odd Fellows Band, under the leadership of Prof. Elzie Hoffman, which carried away the first honors at the recent B. M. C. convention, led the procession.

NOTES Mr. I. N. Ross, Jr., son of Bishop Ross of the A. M. E. Church will take charge of the Boys' and Physical Departments of the 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A., May 16th. Mr. Ross is an experienced physical Edirector and Y. M. C. A. worker. He had charge of the physical work at the Dunbar Schol, Cincinnati; was Executive Secretary of the Evanston, Illinois Y. M. C. A. and did physical work at the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. The swimming pool will be open afternoons and evenings about the middle of May. Instruction in swimming will be given to both men and boys, and physical classes for business men and others will be commenced. The locker room is being removed and will be found on the left side of the building in the basement opposite the showers. This room will be comfortably furnished and will fill a long felt want. The social room with its billiard and pocket billiard, and bowling alleys are a source of recreation which it would be difficult to find anywhere, surrounded with the same atmosphere. A full membership in the Association is only $$$5.00 a year—less than a percent and a half a day. This entitles one not only to participation in the social and religious activities, but also gives him the right to take advantage of the physical examination and physical institution, including swimming, etc. We must learn to conserve our health. The highest efficiency cannot be reached by those whose physical condition is bad, then again, sick men are bad insurance risks. The 36 ex-service men placed by the 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. in the Automotive School at the Central Y. M. C. A. are doing excellent. The director of the class stated that they had been exceptionally prompt and consistent in their attendance, so much that he is planning another class for the colored men. This class which will commence sometime in June will consist of 12 persons, every one of which will be required to pay his own tuition, for the reason that all funds for ex-service men have exhausted. The Shiloh Baptist Church, of which Rev. J. Milton Waldron is pastor will conduct its Christian Endeavor program in the lobby of the Association Sunday May 15th at 3:3 P. M. The public is invited.

McGhee HOWARD TEAM WINS GREAT HONORS The week of April 25th to April 30th was a notable one in the history of Howard University, academically and athletically speaking. The Howard University Debating Team in a discussion of the subject: "Resolved, That the California Anti-Alien Land Law should be repealed," won by a unanimous vote from Lincoln University in the debate held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University Campus, Friday, April 29th. While winning the debate from Lincoln University, the two teams that debated the same evening at Virginia Union University, Richmond, Virginia, and Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, met defeat. Howard's triumph over its ancient enemy Lincoln, however, proved a consolation to Howard students, Alumni and friends. On Saturday, April 30th, the Howard University baseball team played against the Virginia Union University team on the Howard University Campus before one of the largest crowds to attend a baseball game at the University, and won by a score of 4 to 1. The Howard University Track Team composed of H. K. Perry, Robert Craft, R. E. Contee, and Leo G. Robinson, who were entered in the OneMile College Relay in the Penn Relay Games held in Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, won great honors for the University when they finished first over such schools as Rensselaer Polytechnic, Carnegie School of Technology, Hobart College, and Tufts College.

Robinson maintained fifth place until the third turn of the track when he began to sprint and gradually eased up until he had caught the leading man for Rensselaer at 50 yards from the finish, whom he led at the finish by a full two yards in the brilliant run which he made in about 50 seconds flat. A banner was awarded to the University and gold watches and medals to each of the runners.

Van Whitted as accompanist, gave a most pleasing recital in the Rankin Memorial Chapel, Saturday evening, May 7th, to a large and appreciative audience. The appearance of Miss Helen Hagan of New Haven, Conn., a noted pianist who has studied abroad, with the Glee Club proved a real musical treat. The renditions of the Gluee Club included the "Viking Song" by Coleridge-Taylor, "Her Rose" by Coombs; "The Land of Sky Blue Water," by Cadman; "Winter Song," by Bullard; "Castilla," by Protheroe; and "Just You,' a piece arranged for male voices and dedicated to the Howard University Glee Club by Mr. Harry T. Burleigh. Solos were rendered by Mr. Frank G. Harrison, one of the students of the University who is winning much praise as a baritone singer, and Mr. Robt. A. Thornton, whose rendition of Burleigh's "Go Down Moses" gave evidence of the richness of tone and volume of his voice as a bass soloist. The readings by Mr. Alston Burleigh, the son of Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, the noted baritone, who is one of the members of the Glee Club proved very interesting. They included "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGhee" by Service, and a little piece "Poppin the Question" written by his mother, Mrs. H. T. Burleigh, all of the pieces were well rendered. The Glee Club has recently returned from a very successful tour, giving recitals at Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, and a number of other places.

BRASCHER SPEAKS AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY A most interesting address was made to the students of Howard University Friday evening, May 6, 1921, at the Rankin Memorial Chapel by Mr. Nahum Daniel Brascher, Editor in Chief of the Associated Negro Press upon the subject "Reading and Justice" at the open session of the campaign to promote the reading of Negro history and literature being conducted by the Omega Phi Phi Fraternity. The value of reading Negro history and current literature as found in the Negro magazines and newspapers of the country was most effectively brought to the attention of the students of Howard. Mr. Brascher told of the many attempts, through the holding of conferences of white and colored editors, to cause justice to be done the Race in the publication of news material. His story of the service the press has rendered towards the building of greater race consciousness brought the students to the realization of the need of reading race books, magazines and newspapers. Mr. Bascher is an interesting speaker and pleased the large audience assembled to hear him. Dont fail to read the Theatrical Review Column. Keep abreast with all the stage dope every week. Full authentic routes of troups will be given. GO TO SCHOOL MOVEMENT ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT HARDING President Harding has given his approval and good will to the second annual "Go to Hihigh School, Go to College" drive which is a nation-wide campaign to encourage youths to continue their education, being conducted this week, May 9th to 5th, by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the pioneer college fraternity, at its various chapters situated throughout the United States. In a letter to Norman L. McGhee, the General Secretary of the Fraternity, President Harding wrote that the results of the first drive held June 6 to 12, 1920, seems to justify the repetition of the effort this year. $ ^{1} $The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among the colored people," he added, "is a very great and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly through the equipment of members of the race to do educational work among their own people. You may be sure of my earnest sympathy and good will." Last year 2,000 members of the Alpha Phi Alpha located in all part of the country carried the gospel of "stay in high school" and "go to college" to 500 schools, 700 churches and to a half million parents and pupils. It's the hope of the Fraternity to reach one million pupils this year. Reports as to the plans of the various chapters of the Fraternity for the conduct of the second annual "drive" are most gratifying to the Graduate Commission, under whose auspices the campaign is being waged, and the General Officers of the Fraternity. Already arrangements have been made in the various cities for local members of the Fraternity to visit the graded schools, high schools, colleges, and churches to present the "gospel of preparation" to the youths of the Nation. The "Go to High School, Go to College" movement is especially designed to show the need for thorough preparation for life's tasks, and to induce the youths of the race, through sympathetic encouragement, to continue their education. The movement here in Washington is being conducted with much enthusiasm by the Beta Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, located at Howard University, under the direction of Mr. George L. Johnson who is Chairman of the chapter's "Go to High School, Go to College" Committee. Permission was secured from the Board of Education of the District of Columbia to have members of the Fraternity visit each of the fifty-two schools during this week and speak upon practical educational issues. In these talks the value of educational training and the need of continuance in school to completion was urged upon the school children. On Sunday, May 5th, speakers at local churches will urge the public to encourage boys and girls to remain in school, to talk to parents parents in the interest of their children, to urge ministers, teachers, and leaders of all groups to talk education to interest clubs to establish scholarships at reputable schools for worthy students. ESCAPES RAPE TREE BUT MEETS CHAIR GREENVILLE, S. C.,—William Thompson, alleged to have shot and fatally wounded City Policeman George Burroughs here last Saturday night was captured by a posse of officers and citizens about three miles east of the city, after an exchange of shots in which one of the pursuers was slightly wounded. Thompson was brought to jail here. Officer Burroughs died about 4 o'clock Saturday morning. The unusual thing about the whole affair is, that Thompson was not disposed of in the usual Southern style. Just 72 hours after he fired the shot which killed city policeman Burroughs he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to die in the electric chair at Columbia May 27th. CUT BY UNKNOWN ASSAILANT Perry Duckett, 24 years old, 1308 First street southeast, had his throat slashed from its middle to the left ear during an altercation with an unknown man last week at First and M streets southeast. He was treated by Dr. J. W. Ford at the Casualty Hospital after which he was removed to his home. According to Duckett, the fight started when he refused to give 25 cents to the unknown man who claimed he had owed it to him for the past year. He declared that before he could realize his plight, the man flashed a knife and jumped on him. OVINGTON HOTEL BUILDING ASSURED John W. Lewis Devoting Time Toward Work.

FORAKER PRESENTS ALL STAR RILL The weeks' vaudeville bill at the Foraker is just as good an evening's entertainment as you would care to listen to. Henry (Gang) Jines, who will be remembered for his clever comedy in the original production of "Broadway Rastus" opened the bill with the rendition of "I'm in Hard Luck Now" which he featured and put over in fine style. His line of patter and especially his "campaign" speech were real laugh-getters. He was well received. "Gang" Jines has just recently closed with the Harry Hastings Kewpie Dolls Co., at Cleveland. The Whitmans' Essie and Baby Alice, Washington's favorites, offer a singing and a mile-a-minute dancing skit, that more than sustained the enviable reputation made by them in seasons past. Essie, though suffering with a heavy cold, very expressively rendered "Mammy" and out of sympathy for her condition, the audience was kind enough not to ask any encores. Due to the annoyance of some chronic giggers of the weaker sex, Miss Whitman was forced to deliver an impromptu lecture on "How to Conduct Yourself in Public Gatherings" and was roundly aploubled. The recurrences of a similar case is not likely soon. It was a well-earned rebuke and it was nicely put over. Baby Alice, with her clever dancing took the house by storm and shared honors with her sister. Several quick changes of costly costumes were noted and the act closed with sudden appearance of little two yearold Albert Whitman, whose name the looby display failed to announce but who simply happened to be awake. He shuffled himself to sleep. NEXT WEEK The Foraker management announces the return engagement of the sweet singer and yodler of note, Mr. Chas. Anderson and the Edwards and O'Brien Trio, a fine group of high-class vaudeville performers. APPEARS BEFORE U. S. SUPREME COURT IN GA. LAND CASE Charging that some citizens are denied equal protection in the courts of Georgia and that the legal processes of the state courts are used to deprive them of their property were made in a brief filed in the Supreme Court this week. The brief was filed by J. E. Sistrunk, a prominent race attorney of Atlanta, Ga., who represented himself as acting for several complainants of the same race in suits involving real estate valued at about $150,000. The property was described as tracts in the city of Atlanta and valued farms nearby. The brief accompanied petitions for review of the records in the case of J. S. Sistrunk vs. Parillee Hunt and Geo Spivy, Albert Ford vs. Georgia Loar and Trust Company, O. B. Stevens and others vs. A. S. Elders and Sistrunk Ann Butler and others vs. Southern Railway. CHARGE RACE PREJUDGE Declaring that during the past eighteen years he had occasion to bring "several cases of action in the suprema court of the Atlanta circuit," Sistrunk asserted that "in every case petitioner has been denied the benefit of the process of law." The brief continued: "Petitioner and those he represents are people of color, and prejudice prevails in said state against the colored race as citizens, and the petitioner is deprived of his rights guaranteed him under the laws of the United States and the state of Georgia, on account of race, color and previous conditions of servitude and in every case has been deprived of the right of a trial by jury. "The defendants named in the cases presented in the proceedings issued criminal warrants against petitioner as a means of intimidation, secured the arrest and indictment of petitioner for so proceeding, causing petitioner to be held in jail an unreasonable length of time, to punish him into submission to their demands in holding the said estate and enriching themselves without lawful right." News, while it is news and not history, is exactly what you will find every week in these columns. If it happened in Washington, THE TRIBUNE will publish it. Demand it every week by carrier. ASBURY STIRS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS (Continued from page 1) tion was "We want equality of opportu nity with equal degree of responsi bility." Pres. King at Metropolitan Thursday evening the meeting was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, at which time Senator Spencer of Missouri gave a rehash of the Negro's progress in this country. He said a man who shoulders a rifle should be allowed to cast his ballot. He spoke of education as the main solution for the existing conditions. He spoke of his bill for a Commission of nine persons to be appointed by the President of the United States to study Race Relations. There are to be white men of the south, three of the north and three colored men. Senator Spencer said that the laws must be the same for both races; punishment the same and the rewards the same. Educational opportunities for development must be the same. Laws as well as opportunities shall apply to each race. President King of Liberia, who has been here for sometime was introduced by Hon. J.

ALONZO COLLINS of the Civil Rights Bill in the Pennsylvania Legislature the 1st of January Mr. Asbury struck from the shoulder delivering one of the strongest, far reaching and inspiring speeches of the Congress. After quoting the preamble to the Constitution of the United States, Mr. Asbury said "The men who wrote the Constitution, proceeded for 75 years to prove it a lie. They plunged this country into a great war to prove it a lie." Then he gave the history of the various attempts to pass a Civil Rights Bill. He said that he introduced a bill patterned after the New York bill, into the Pennsylvania legislature last January and with a hard fight, pushed it thru the house. It failed in the Senate because Senator Penrose endorsed it one day and withdrew his endorsement the next. "Thirty-eight years ago I was here I could dine in the Senate or House restaurants. Tell Senator Penrose to take the signs down now," said Mr. Asbury. "It is Government property and if Senator Penrose believes in Equal Rights, let him begin at the Nations Capitol. Why don't you get rights here?" he asked. Speaking of the commission for the studying of race relations, Mr. Asbury said: "I want the laws already on the statute books enforced. Jim crow cars are illegal in inter-state transportation and I call on the department of Justice to enforce the laws. Peonage is unlawful, why don't the department of Justice enforce the laws? For every one or two or a dozen that they may convict in Georgia for peonage there are a thousand guilty ones, why don't the department of Justice go after them?" Reciting the Negro's loyalty Mr. Asbury said: "We are the only people in the world who had a grievance and did not try to embarrass our Government during the war. We find the white men of this country for whom we fought to save, sitting on our necks to keep us down." Getting back to his state he said: "Pennsylvania is going to give this country an example. We are united and are for those who are for us. This may seem radical but we need to be radical after what has happened in Georgia." The Negro and Citizenship Friday, the last day of the Congress was given over to discussions on Citizenship. Rev. C. C. Summerville of Portsmouth, Va., opened the discussion with a paper which was followed by a paper from Dr. J. H. Henderson of Tennessee. This was an inscriptive and constructive paper. The following officers were elected: Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Ora V. Stokes, vice president, Richmond, Va.; Dr. W. G. Parks, treasurer, Philadelphia, Pa.; Rev. C. H.

Thus, it is not so strange that Char- lie gave his own dog a part in the photoplay. One of the most amusing situations in the photoplay arises when Whis- kers, dangling a heavy rope around his neck, comes trotting up the aisle. of a country church to his master, Hosiah Howe, who is seated beside Virginia Rand, a beautiful girl from the city. Hosiah who had been greatly im- pressed and embarrassed by the pres- ence of the pretty girl at his side, is aghast at the unexpected appearance of the dog. The congregation glares at Hosiah, but Virginia helps him make the dog comfortable between them. Charles Ray plays the part of Ho- siah, while Ann May has the leading feminine role. Ray selected his own dog for the part of Whiskers because he knew from jexperience that he would have no difficulty in geting his pet to follow him to church or any- where else for that matter. As a matter of fact Charlie's main dffiiculty at times lies in his inability to keep Wikiluws aque tans his GAME POSTPONED The game scheduled for Thursday between the All Cuban Giants was called off because of rain. Thursday was to be a big day as the management had agreed to turn over part of the days receipts to the Salvation Army and a very large crowd was expected to attend. “EAST LYNNE” FEATURE AT DUNBAR THEATRE “Bast Lynne,” in the modernized film version produced by Hugo Bal- lin as a Hodkinson release, which will be shown at the Dunbar Theatre this week, tells the well-known story of the trials and tribulations that befall Isabel Vane. After being left orphaned and pen- niless he was married by the wealthy Archibald Carlyle, and lived with him at the family manse, “East Lynne,” in blissful happiness. Carlyle was soon besought by Barbara Hare, an old-time friend, to Iend his legal aid to save her brother Dick, accused of murder, Isabel misinterpreted Bar- bara’s visits, and hér mind was fur- ther turned by the villainous Francis Levison, She deserted her happy home, her husband, and her baby boy and fled to Canada with Levison. He son left her—returning a year later, to find her desperately forlorn and ‘with another baby. _ Then he told her the truth of her betrayal; with her baby Isabel en- trained for East Lynne—the train was wrecked and-her baby girl was Killed. While she was in the hospi- tal, Carlyle married Barbara—and saved her brother, convicting Levi- son as the murdered. Finally Isabel returned to “East Lynne,” broken and worn—only to kiss her baby boy and then to pass out in the arms of the one man she ‘had alwave loved: THEATRE NOTES ~ ‘The stunning chapeau that is worn by Miss Inez Clough, who is appearing in “Turn to the Right” at Howard neatre is the creation of Mme.

Although pounded hard, Har- -is remained on the mound. Albritton for the locals was hit free- ly but manage to keep them well seatered; the Royals gained all total 14 hits off his delivery. A ninth in- ning rally by the Royals came within two runs of tying the score. The hit- ting of first baseman Douglass for the isitors was one of the features of he game. Scrappy Brown was the Babe Ruth of the game, getting a home run and xo doubles, Allen, Ridgley, Smith, Wisher, Wingfield, Perry and Albritton also hit doubles.

ROLAND W. HAYES. NOTED TENOR GETS A GIFT BROM KING ; Roland Hayes, born in Georgia, sings in Buckingham Palace, reads a headline in the New York Herald of recent date. A cablegram from Lon- don gives the following version of his appearance there: “King George was ‘so delighted with the songs sung for him by Roland Hayes, the tenor, that he presented him with a diamond pin. Hayes made such a favorable impres- sion during his first visit to London that he was invited to Buckingham Palace, where he sang before the royal family, featuring such songs as “Go Down Moses,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Peter, Go Ring Them Bells.” The royal family was de- lighted with the voice and conduct of the entertainer, and the King observed how different the songs were from what the English had been taught to believe were characteristic Negro mel- odies.” “Hayes has a wide reportoire of operatie arias,” ete., thus runs the comment of the reporter. This is not the firsttime however that a repre- sentative of the race has appeared before royalty as Seleka, “Black Pat- ti,” Sidney Woodward and. possibly others from America have blazed a trail; but the significants of Haye’s appearance lies in the fact that here in his own homeland, the beauty of his art was not recognized appropriately by those in official and art ‘circles as readily as it might have been were it not for the color of his skin, the most despicable excuse imaginable in the American mind. His appearance in Buckingham Palace places him among the’ notables of his art. 6 ‘overy kindergarten in the city and the slowing designated school centers: Dunbar High School, Miner Normal School, Summer School, Birney School, National Training School for Girls at Lincoln Heights and Phelps.

Any group desiring place. ment on the program will immediately advise Mr. Benjamin Washington, at the Franklin School before May 16th in order to appear on the 100,000 programs which will be printed for the occasion.

THE AMPHION GLEE CLUB The Deacons Auxiliary of Second Baptist Church presented The Am- phion Glee Club in recital on Tues- day evening, May 3rd, with J. Henry Lewis directing and William G. Brax- ton at the piano. They presented one of the best programs as a male club we have heard for sometime, as they were well balanced, and sung with a vigor and’ warmth of well traiped singers under the splendid baton of their leader. With the addition of new blood in the cast, they seem to have gained fresh courage and greater. im- pulse in their renditions of such snap and swing. Going forward, not back- ward, was the unanimous judgment of their hearers.

All news matter is earnestly solicited and will be cheer- fully published, subject to the proper re-editing. = THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 =)" FINANCIAL REVIEW ‘Accepts Call | The reports on the condition of re |tail trade during Mareh made by the ltwelve Federal Reserve Districts arc |analyzed in a bulletin that has jus' been issued by the Bureau of Research and Information of. the National Re tail Dry Goods Association. An aver. age decrease ‘of 3 per cent. in sales |for that month, compared with the |same month last ‘year, is noted in the returns from 270 leading department |stores throughout the country. Cer- tain sections showed conflicting ‘trends, the increases being as high as 9 per cent .in Los Angeles and de- erases as low at 22 per cent. in At- lanta, Sales during the first three weeks of April were also behind sales n April of last year. It is pointed out, however, that.when price: changes are taken into consid- eration it is evident that the volume of merchandise distribution each month continues to be greater than that in the corresponding period last year. In the New York Federal Reserve Dis- trict, for instance, March reports showed an increase of 2 per cent. In the number of transactions and the amount of each transaction was $3.07 as compared with $2.25. in March, 1920, a decline of 3 per cent. ‘In the Pacific Coast Federal Reserve Dig- trict, the average sale reported by ten firms fell from $3.14 in March, 1920, to $3.01, during March of this year. ‘The average sale in March of this ‘year, however, was 7.5 per cent, larger ‘than in February, 1921, when it was $2.80. March figures for both mail order ‘and chain store concerns point toward ‘a resumption of general trade activity. ‘It is explained that the two kinds of ales respond to general trade condi- tons in exactly opposite ways. The continued prosperity of chain stores last Winter is attributed in part to the extensive unemployment in the large ‘ties, Five-and-ten-cent experts fig- are that men out of work buy necessi- ties from these stores, though in more prosperous times their patronage turns to the more expensive retailers. From the viewpoint of the individual |merchant the bulletin points out, it is jhopeful to find gross sales of the chain-store system showing less in- crease in March than in February, though the difference is slight. Conditions now existing in the rural districts are not helpful to the mail- order business, it is explained, yet figures show that sales in March and April compared with February have ecovered about 50 per cent, toward yrmal. Sears-Roebuck sales in April vere 28 per cent, below the previous ear as against decreases of 27 per |cent. in March, 50 per cent, in Feb- uary, and 47 per cent. in Jariuary. The gross sales of Montgomery Ward & Co, in April were 21 per cent. under he same month of last year, against 38 per cent. in March, 51 per cent. in February and 34 per cent. in January.

ACTION DEMANDED The agitation in the management of the city schools concerning the Assistant Superintendent has been going on for some time in fact too long. From the people's viewpoint, relief is desired. Some definite action should be had so that the unsettled and humiliating situation could be clarified. This constant turmoil has disrupted the even tenure and progress due an intelligent, first class and progressive school system. Who suffers? The innocent children of course. The strong accusation of the Parents League, on one side, and the tenacious defense of the Assistant Superintendent on the other, has carried strife into the schools, causing teachers to be placed at a disadvantage for of necessity they must line up with one side or the other, which impairs their efficiency and places the brunt on the innocent children. The discussion by the parents, of the affair in the homes, has reached the children and made it common discussion with them at school, which detracts from their concentrating upon the studies to which they should give their best effort. Therefore, for efficiency of the teaching force and morale among the student body, this question should be settled at once. MASONS BREAK GROUND IN JULY Concerning Mr. Bruce: The Tribune takes the position that every person should havea fair and impartial trial before being condemned by mob-like decision. It is squarely up to the school board to relieve this unbearable situation by giving those strong on making charges, an opportunity to file them in an open meeting or trial, as the case may demand. "Watchful waiting" is playing havoc with both the teaching force and students. Action IS Demanded. Give Mr. Bruce a trial and either give him a clear bill of health or, dismiss him if the evidence warrants it. We are fo ra square deal first, last and all the time. In an interview with Mr. Jessie Mitchell, a Tribune reporter was informed that the Masonic Temple is an assured fact. The tenants are moving out of the buildings occupying the ground at the corner of 10th and U streets northwest. Remember while this discussion is hanging fire, the children are the ones to suffer and it is for them that the schools are maintained. May we have action, clear and definite? Mr. Mitchell says that there will be a five story building erected on this spot that will cost about $300,000.00.

With deposits amounting to $556,521.80, the total loans and discounts show conservative banking being less than four-fifths of the deposits. Senator Willis, of Ohio, said a few Sundays ago in the Howard Theatre, that our group would be far more advanced in commercial lines and financial circles, if our people would only deposit their surplus money in their own banks. Senator Willis gave many facts and figures which proved that he was quite conversant with the progress and condition of the colored people. The directors singing this statement are John H. Simmms, Wm. A. Bowie, Wm. H. Ricks, and John W. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is President and Mr. Bowie is Cashier. They own their banking house and furniture which is valued at $32,879.60. This is apparently a low figure making it all the better for the depositors. To the Washington Tribune— To the Washington Tribune Hoping your paper a great success and may this be one of your Mottos.

Last fall centers for the extension work were established in the following cities: Montclair, New Britain, Scranton, Southington, South Norwalk, Washington and Yonkers. Only one center can be allowed in a city and Miss Lucy D. Slowe, the Principal of the M Street school is responsible for this center being located in Washington. This is a scoop on all the other schools of the city for M Street. Miss Slowe is an M.

An association has been formed to take care of the building and its obligations and will push it thru for completion as soon as possible.
