WINS BY NARROW MARGIN OF ONE VOTE AFTER BEING REJECTED TWICE Cohen is Real Leader. Is one of few Race Politicians who Practice Politics where they live. Well thought of in Louisianna Vol.3, No.42 COHEN WINS BY NAM OF ONE VOTE REJECTE Cohen is Real Leader. Is o who Practice Politics w of in Louisianna By a vote of 39 to 38, Walter L. Cohen was confirmed as comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., by the Senate on Monday last. This was the third time that Mr. Cohen's name had been before the Senate for confirmation. His confirmation was bitterly fought by the Southern senators who objected to a Negro holding office in the South. These Southerners resorted to all kinds of tricks to defeat him. Immediately after his defeat last month, it leaked out that he had been given a raw deal; that many Northern and Western senators were for him but failed to vote because of political bargaining and misunderstanding. Many of these senators realized after the vote had been taken that they had placed themselves in an embarrassing position and were bringing much criticism on their heads from the folks back home. One of these senators, Mr. Walsh of Massachusetts, who did not vote on the matter when the nomination was up in February, made a statement to a Tribune reporter that he would support the fight for confirmation if it was again brought before the Senate. The Senator also stated that several other Democrats were ready to support Cohen. Early in March, Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite of Minnesota, a close friend of Senator LaFollette, moved in the Senate that the Cohen confirmation be re-considered. March 17, was set as the day for the taking up of the motion. Immediately after the Senate went into executive session last Monday, the Southern senators moved that the motion be laid on the table. This was defeated by a margin of three votes. The next vote came on the matter of re-consideration; this was carried by a margin of two votes. After much discussion by the Southern senators, the final vote on confirmation was taken. This was carried by a margin of one vote—39 to 38—close, but enough to win. While the record vote is a deep secret, it is known that several Democrats voted favorably with Republicans and Progressives. As Monday was St. Patrick's day, many of the senators were out making speeches; but, notwithstanding this, some remained to help Mr. Cohen. Among those who remained were Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, who declined an invitation to speak in Boston in order to be present. Cohen's fight for confirmation has been a long and hard one. He was first nominated and given a recess appointment by President Harding; This was in November, 1922. When the Sehate convened in December, 1922, his name was sent up to be confirmed. Although the Republicans had a preponderant majority, he was defeated on the excuse of Senatorial courtesy, because the Senators from Louisiana objected to him. However, no other name was sent to the Senats for the position and soon after Congress adjourned in March, 1923, President Harding, on May 12, gave Cohen another recess appointment. President Harding died before Congress reconvened in December, 1923; but his successor, President Coolidge, sent Cohen's name back to the Senate. The matter was not acted on until February of this year. He was again, however, rejected; this time by a vote of 37 to 35. However, Mr. Cohen, who is a power in Louisiana (Continued on page 1) The Washington Tribune THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. The Published Weekly N CON ARROW MARGIN E AFTER BEING ED TWICE is one of few Race Politicians where they live. Well thought RACIAL COURTESY TAUGHT BY SOUTHERNERS Austin, Texas, March 20—Eighteen professors from thirteen of the big white colleges and universities of Texas met here some days ago to lay plans for promoting the study of race relations in the higher educational institutions of the state. It was found that such courses are now being given in a number of Texas colleges, and that they are popular with the students, well attended and gratifying in their results. The educators gathered here recommended that such courses be introduced if possible into all the colleges of the state, and that graduate students be encouraged to undertake special research in this field. A standing committee was appointed to promote these objects and to formulate a general program for such study. Steps were taken also to have the subject brought to the attention of the next state teachers' meeting. The meeting here was called by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, in connection with its effort to have the study of race relations introduced into all the colleges of the South. A meeting of educators from the Southeast is held annually at Blue Ridge, N.C., in the interest of this plan. Race relations classes are already being conducted in many of the big institutions, sometimes in voluntary groups, sometimes as part of the regular college cur- Prudential Bank Deposits Show Steady Gain Recently the Prudential Bank has issued a statement which shows the remarkable growth of this institution since its opening last July. In this statement it is noted that the deposits have now reached (as of March 19h) the sum of $142,034; and the total resources have jumped nearly to the quarter of a million mark. In financial circles this remarkable growth has been the subject of much favorable comment, about which people should be extremely proud. John R. Hawkins, the president of the Prudential Bank has been the financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church for twelve years, during which time he has handled millions of dollars in such a manner as to reflect credit upon his office. As president of the Prudential Bank Mr. Hawkins, has given the bank the benefit of that vast experience he has acquired through these many years of handling investments, and also brought to the bank great prestige, by reason of his personal reputation. --- WASHINGTON, D. C. MARCH 22, 1924 Bishop Freeman To Hold Confirmation The Bishop of Washington (Bishop Freeman) will officiate at St. Mary's P. E. Church, 23rd Street between G and H Streets, Northwest, on Tuesday evening, March 25, at 8 p.m., and will confirm a large class.

PACE SELLS BLACK SWAN TO PARAMOUNT New York, N.Y.—While combinations of white business are frequent, it is not very often that there is a combination of white and a colored business. It is of more than local interest therefore to note the recent consolidation of the phonograph record business of the Paramount, a white and Black Swan, a colored organization. The deal bringing together these two leaders in the Race Record field was closed by Hewlett representing the Black Swan interests and M. A. Supper of the New York Recording Laboratories representing the Wisconsin Chair Company, a large manufacturing concern controlling a number of other corporations and who own the Paramount Company. Several months ago overtures were made to the Black Swan Phonograph Company by the Paramount people to go into such a merger. It was easy to see that with this combination of the two leaders in the race record field that there would be established an unquestionable supremacy and the new record would very quickly dominate the field of race records. Mr. Supper came to New York in January and continued these negotiations with the Black Swan Company and a tenative agreement was arrived at and agreed to by the board of directors. Mr. Pace then went to Wisconsin and met with the directors of the Wisconsin Chair Company and the deal was finally concluded. Stockholders of the Black Swan Phonograph Company will profit very greatly by this transaction, as the price paid to that company for the good will and trade name alone runs high up into five figures. President Pace when asked how the transfer would affect the Black Swan stockholders replied that: "The Black Swan Phonograph Company as a corporation will continue in existence just as heretofore. It will become a holding company instead of an operating company." The Black Swan catalogue of several hundred masters is the most valuable of its kind in existence. Instead of the company operating that catalogue, the Paramount Company will manufacture and distribute Black Swan records, from which the Black Swan Company will receive a definite payment each month. After the Black Swan Company has paid its own accounts and obligations such as every operating concern must have it will be in a position to pay its stockholders a substantial and continuous dividend or it can retire its capital stock at a substantial premium. The company has title to valuable real estate in New York City, which has recently increased in value, the rentals on which alone are nearly $4,000 a year. The purchase money mortgage on this property is being paid off at the rate of $2,000 a year, and this property will soon be free and clear. The Company intends to make other investments in New York City real (Continued on page 6) LIBERIAN COLONY SOUGHT BY U. N. I.A. DELEGATES Monrovia, Liberia—President King of the Republic denied application from delegates of the U. N. I. A. to Liberia for an interview. An interview could only be granted if it was of an un-official character and discussions to take place must be of an informal nature and as between private individuals. Any proposal suggesting location for 3000 immigrants to Liberia must ultimately be denied. The President stated that he is keeping his mind on the obligation of Liberia to the Great Powers, and as such to the maintenance of the independence of the Republic. The U. N. I. A. delegation, left this county several weeks ago for Liberia for the purpose it was said of locating a colony of Negroes in the African Republic. The delegation returned to this country this week, and reported that they had had a successful trip. The head of the delegation, Mr. R. L. Poston, died aboard this ship just two days before it reached New York. Negroes of W. Va. Making Rapid Progress Negroes of W. Va. Making Rapid Progress Charleston, W. Va.,—The Negroes of West Virginia have made more rapid strides in the development of business enterprises during the past two years than they made in the previous decade, according to a statement made public by T. Edward Hill, director of the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics. The statement continues as follows: "To establish first class places of business, the West Virginia Negro is rapidly learning to organize and manage corporations and the rank and file of the Negro race is showing confidence in those members who have been successful in business by investing some of their savings incorporate enterprises promoted and managed by them. "During htep ast two years there have been organized among the Negroes of this State 26 corporations with an aggregate capital stock of one million forty-five thousand dollars. All of these corporations were formed to serve a particular need of the Negroes of the State at large or of the community in which they are doing business, and a noteworthy feature is that none of these 26 corporations were stock selling schemes to relieve the gullible of their money All were legitimate efforts to conduct legitimate business and all of them are doing the main business for which they were incorporated. "The largest amount of capital invested by Negroes during the past two years was in hotels and amusements enterprises. In business of this character Negroes of West Virginia have invested $605,000 of which $405,000 was invested through corporations and $200,000 were individual investments. The Negroes who travel are demanding good accommodations and have the money with which to pay the price. They want to see shows and pictures without embarrassing others or being humiliated themselves, so far-seeing Negro business men and women are providing means of entertainment and amusement for members of the Race and those of small means are investing in corporations for those purposes. (Continued on page 8) Students Home From Studies in Germany Baltimore, Md., Mr. and Mrs. Russell A. Lane who are studying in the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and who were called here on account of the sudden death of Mr. Lane's mother, will sail to resume their studies about April 15th. Mr. Lane is a graduate of Brown University, and he studied law at Howard University. Mrs. Lane was a former teacher in the local schools. TEACHERSSALARY BILL NEARING FINAL STAGE The teachers' salary bill, which has been the central feature of interest in local educational circles the present school session is practically completed and ready for whatever legislation necessary for Congress to draft it into a law. Reported from the D. C. House Committee as being satisfactory, the Bill goes upon the calendar and every notice should now be brought to The school administration, through various conferences and spur-on-the-moment suggestion, worked hard to produce a bill, that would conform to the approval of those mercenarily concerned. Much time was spent to make every item in the measure, as liberal in terms as possible, at the same time, keeping those requirements set down by the Federal Government along economic lines. The new salary bill does this and it is pointed out with positive certainty, that any opposition that might arise will hardly over-balance the chances supposed to be favorable for its passage. Teachers, everywhere, appear optimistic and while not inclined to talk are of the opinion, that the salary question will be cleared up before Congressional session ends. School officials, somewhat reticent, express great confidence and believe that the bill, as it stands, is the most equitable, far reaching in the adjustment of teachers' salaries yet attempted and while not acceptable perhaps to all effected by the provisions offered. It is felt everything has been done to make the document meet the highest standardized salary scale and that it will go through with flying colors, when it reaches the floor in both branches of Congress for the last analysis. Author of "The Nigger'Speaks at Howard "Educated Negro leaders should seek to change the stereotype used by the majority of the better thinking whites as a measure for their appraisal of the individual Negro," is the statement made in an address by Clement Wood, distinguished Novelist and author of "The Nigger," before a large group of students and friends of Howard University in Rankin Memorial Chapel on the University Campus, March 13th. Mr. Wood said that the usual type which comes to the mind of many of the better thinking whites when mention is made of the Negro is that type which is labeled in the white American press as the "black brute." Mr. Wood was invited at Howard University as one of the lecturers in the Free Public Lecture Series. The subject of his address was "The Negro; Survey and Forecast." NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS PLANS TO ESTABLISH HERE A LEGISLATIVE BUREAU Final Action on Plan will be taken at Coming Convention which meets here next month. The idea is popular Office: 920 U. St., N.W. ONG NATIONAL RACI PLANS TO ESTA A LEGISLATIVE Final Action on Plan will be t tion which meets here ne popular The establishment of a bureau of information here at the seat of the American government, where all matters vital to our well being may be closely watched and scrutinized by vigilant, capable and true representatives of our group, seems to be the order of the day and is the paramount object of the National Race Congress. The great need of such a bureau has been apparent for some time but other questions of pressing importance have delayed the consummation of this enterprise. That the country is warming up to this idea and becoming more determined than ever to line up behind the organization that has in its program the establishing of this medium of information and intelligence, is evidenced by the enthusiasm with which President Jernagin was received on his recent trip through parts of the South. On this trip he stopped off at Raleigh, N.C., the Union Reformer puts it, he was guest at luncheon of "Raleigh's best business and professional men." The Reformer goes on to state that "The burden of his message was to show those present the good results that can be achieved through cooperative relationship. He 'appealed' to the Sec'y of Urban League Making Canvass Here Prof. J. R. E. Lee, the Extension Secretary of the National Urban League with headquarters in New York is in Washington for a few days. He is calling upon a number of our men and women to enlist their support for this organization. For the past twelve years the Urban League has been working for closer race relationship and better living and economic conditions for the mass of our people who live in the large centers. Through its forty-two branches in forty-two of our large cities with more than one hundred workers the League has served over three hundred thousand of the migrants who have gone north during the past few years. One feature of the League's work has been the securing admission of our people into the large industrial plants and public establishments in the northern cities where formerly men and women of our race have not had the opportunity to work. During the past few years several hundred of such industries and business organizations have opened their doors to members of our race through the quiet and persistent efforts of the Urban League. Already Prof. Lee is receiving favorable responses from the citizens of Washington, the first substantial contribution to the work of the League was made by Prof. John R. Hawkins, the president of The Prudential Bank. Prof. Hawkins' lead has been promptly followed by Dr. Peter W. Price, vice-president of the Prudential Bank Mortimer M. Harris, real estate dealer, and one of the directors of the bank; and Murray Brothers, printers. Other individual contributions have been made by Clarence DeVeile, Rev. Dr. G. O. Bullock, Wilton G. Jackson, E. W. Grump, E. W. Freeman, Miss. Muriel Milton and Miss Delilah Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents FIGHT ACE CONGRESS ESTABLISH HERE TIVE BUREAU be taken at Coming Conven next month. The idea is members of the league to put aside their petty differences and throw their moral, financial and intellectual strength together and cooperate for the good of all the people. "The big thing that the members of the Race need, is a centralized bureau composed of our safe conservative leaders to represent our interests when things of vital importance occur, and such is the aim and purpose for which the Race Congress was organized, he said." Present indications are that after the next session of the congress, which convenes here April 30, to May 2, this bureau of information will be a going concern. Information and matters pertaining to our group will be collected from every where and distributed to news papers, interested organizations and persons having use for such material. from by the executive committee, the congress to solicit funds for this bureau, and it is understood that he is calling on all organizations to be represented at the annual session to send delegates prepared to help swing open the doors of this much needed institution. LIFE INSURANCE AND MODERN SOCIETY (Written for The Federal Life Insurance Company, Incorporated) As society is made up of units, it follows that the well-being of the organism will be promoted by anything that benefits the individual units. We have seen that Life Insurance enables men to pay their debts and to work according to larger and better plans; it creates a new social process that avoids conflict and waste; it adds to material wealth by scientific distribution; adds to social wealth by its wise response to social needs and enables the family to develop along normal lines, thus it is safe to conclude that Life Insurance supplies the condition and forces for a normal and healthy development of society itself. Life Insurance tends to increase and maintain the efficiency of the better class and to reduce the numbers in that class dependent upon charity. It increases the number of those who, having provided for life, are able to get all there is in life in the fields of culture, art and social betterment. Life Insurance is thus in harmony with the full purpose of social processes. Does your Insurance measure up to the highest social requirements, or provide adequately for the maintenance of the standard you have set for your children? If not, consult The Federal representative. In addition to the approach to individuals, Prof. Lee is speaking to churches and various group organizations. Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, under the leadership of Dr. Wm. H. Jernigan made the first group contribution to this work.

This fundamental fact must be recognized that we are all members of the same race; victims of the same unjust, vicious system, and that we are all striving for the same objectives; and desirious of the same results. A new and virile leadership must be developed to give articulate expression to the yearnings, yet the longings of the Black man in the North and in the South. There is sweetness in righteous conflict and triumph unrammeled in moral victory." Young Morris was wildly cheered by the hundreds who jammed their way into the New York Church where his father was pastor for several years. Mr. Morris is now enroute to Chicago.

Miss Goldie Guy has been hailed as one of the most capable and artistic pianists of the younger group now appearing in this country. Her training under the best artists and teachers of the day should well fit her for the high position she occupies in musical circles. On several occasions during the past season her playing was hardly short of the sensational. Her very pleasing personality, combined with gift and training beyond the average, together with a new $1,600 piano recently installed in the church, should present a programme worthy of the most discriminating. The Howard University Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Tibbs, has developed into a phenomenal organization of ensemble work worthy of a place among those other organizations nationally known. If a sweet blending, mellow tone quality enhanced by proper appreciation and understanding is desired. Y.W.C.A.

By Dr. Chas. A. Allen 1516 New Jersey Ave., N.W. "Are you well?" "Yes, I am quite well. I have not been confined to bed for years." This is the answer given this question by a large number of persons. Others say, "I have no need for a physician. I have a slight cough, some headaches and a little rheumatism, but I am not sick enough to see a doctor." These are just the ones who need a physician. Waiting to be ill enough to need a doctor brings to the house not only the physician but another unwelcome guest, the undertaker. Are you well or are there any insidious processes going on in your body—slowly but surely—which will sooner or later show up? Are the valves of the heart undergoing changes which will result more or less disastrously? Are your arteries getting hardened, causing them to become brittle and overworking the heart? Are the 'kidneys' being overworked, or are they functioning in a normal manner? Is your body being saturated with poisons from the teeth, tonsils, bowels, and other organs known to harbor disease germs? Are there any signs of cancer of the breast, stomach, and womb present? Has that attack of scarlet fever, influenza, or rheumatic fever left any marks or started any degenerative changes in your vital organs? These and other questions are of importance and should be answered by all adults. Most of these diseases are slow in their progress. They are present with you for a long time before they disable you. At this time there are warnings given, sometimes slight, but unfortunately, overlooked. This is the period that many complain of being fairly well, but not sick enough to see a doctor. The continuous headache precedes the stroke of apoplexy; the breathlessness on slight exertion, the severe heart attack Detected in its incipiency, before there is much damage done, or when the disease is localized, much can be accomplished. By changing the routine of living, eating more or less, working harder or resting more—in fact living a hygienic life to suit your particular body, the disease may be checked. A localized cancer can then be safely removed without fear of recurrence. It is at this time that your need of the physician is greatest. At this time the doctor plays his most important role, detecting early abnormalities, and outlining the methods with which to combat them. After the disease has advanced further, aided by your unhygienic method of living it is often impossible to stop its march and he can do naught but compromise or surrender. Go to your physician and ask him these questions, "Am I well? Are my vital organs working normally? Is my defense system capable of repelling the invasion of bacteria? Is my system an iron ring of defense, or is it vulnerable? Is my index of resistance high as possible? Is my body normal—capable of the fullest efficiency?" You may have a family dependent on your health. Your protection is needed for many, many years. You are doing a great work to uplift the community as well as your race. You are needed. This is impossible without good health. So your family, your lodge, your employer, your community, and your own happiness all require you to settle the question, "Am I well?" Go to your physician and ask him the question. Of course he is your family physician—but is he familiar with your inside workings as the skilled engineer is of the engine he is responsible for? Submit to the necessary physical examination made with thoroughness. It is impossible to answer such an important question without thorough examination. On his card index system the doctor notes the condition of the various organs, recording each abnormality and its extent, and the Cohen Confirmed After Long Fight not willing to admit final defeat. As the rules of the Senate state that a motion to reconsider must be made by a senator who voted in the negative, Mr. Cohen, readily recognized that his task was to convince one of his opposers. This in itself was no easy matter, and had Mr. Cohen not been made of the real stuff, he would never have tackled this job. But, unlike most of the present day Negro politicians, Mr. Cohen plunged in to convert a senator, and succeeded in getting Senator Henrick Shipstead of Minnesota over on his side. Through tips supplied him by The Tribune, his task in lining up other senators was made considerably easier. Fighting with a courage that knew no defeat, Mr. Cohen, in spite of the wishes of a number of Republicans, was finally confirmed by the narrow margin of one vote. In this triumph, he has won a great victory for the Race in forcing the Senate to recognize the right of a Negro to hold a Federal office in the South. Mr. Cohen will receive over eight months' back pay which is due him for the time he served under a recess appointments. The Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, which office Mr. Cohen will fill, checks up on the collectors of customs at all the Southern ports, which includes Pensacola, Fla.; Mobile, Ala.; New Orleans, La.; Houston, Texas; Galveston, Texas, and Nogales, Texas. In his office are eight employees who are covered by the civil service. All are white except one; this exception is a colored man who has been in the office for over twenty-five years. Cash receipts checked up by this office are second largest in the country. Walter L. Cohen is one of the few Negroes in the South who practices politics where he lives. He has been a life-long resident of Louisiana and is well liked throughout the State. He is Secretary of the state Republican committee and is a member of the sub-committee that passes on all patronage for the state. The results of Mr. Cohen's leadership in his state is a big endorsement of his courage. Out of the four delegates-at-large to the Republican national convention, from the state, two of them are colored; one of them being Mr. Cohen. Out of the thirteen other delegates, six of them are colored and seven are white. Mr. Cohen has been a delegate to National Conventions since 1896 not missing one. 1890, 1891. The illly white faction of the party has been completely killed off in Louisiana, and this year for the first time in thirty-five years, there will not be a contest of any kind coming from this state. While Mr. Cohen modestly does not claim the credit for all of these things, men who know conditions in Louisiana, however, state that Mr. Cohen, more than anyone else, deserves the credit. Negroes of West. Va. Making Rapid Progress Negroes of West. Va. Making Rapid Progress (Continued from page 1) "During the past six years thousands of Negroes have bought lots in and around Charleston, Huntington, Beekley and other towns in the State with the intention of erecting homes thereon. Most of these persons bounght the lots on the installment plan and it will take them years to save enough money to pay for building a modest home. "In order to meet this great need, two building and loan associations have been formed by Negroes with capital of $225,000. One is located at Charleston and the other at Beckey. These associations are teaching the Negro thrift and, with the money of those in position to invest and the savings of those who pay on installment stock from week to week, many Negroes are enabled to build homes who otherwise would be renters for many years or all of their lives. These two associations are but a drop in the bucket of actual needs, but they are long steps in the right direction and others are sure to be or- advice or treatment suggested. Then follow closely the instructions given you. No medicines may be necessary, but remember that there are other measures that are as important or more so than medicine. To cut down the alarming death rate among our people it is up to all persons to spread the gospel of good health to remove the old ignorant idea that everything happens because it is the Almighty's will. The poet was near the truth when he penned the following lines: "I am master of my Fate, I am captain of my soul." organized as the home ownership and thrift campaigns being conducted by this office and through other agencies impress the people with the usefulness of building and loan associations in aiding the wage earner to acquire a home. LINCOLN GETS "HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME" Production Which Has Taken Country by Storm Booked For Early Showing Following lengthy negotiations between Carl Laemmle, president of "An insurance company capitalized at $150,000 with cash resources of $50,000 and a reserve of equal amount has been recently formed by Negroes of this State and is doing a splendid business. This is the first insurance company ever organized and operated by Negroes in West Virginia and thousands of dollars which have heretofore gone to companies outside of this State will remain here to be invested in bonds of Negro enterprises and first mortagages on real estate owned by Negroes. "In real estate, development and mortage companies formed during the period covered by this statement $125,000 have been invested; mercantile companies—$5,000; business connected with fraternities—$30,000; printing and publishing—$20,000. Not being content to merely look after the living and give over the burying of the dead to others, two Negro undertaking and embalming companies were incorporated with capital of $15,000 and our reports indicate that both of them are doing a thriving business. "Kanawha County leads with ten of these corporations; McDowell County has five; Raleigh and Mercer three; each; Ohio, Cabell, Harrison, Marshall and Fayette have one each." "All of the corporations covered in this statement are doing business and none of them have conducted a statewide stock selling campaign either by letters, or through agents. Except in the case of hotels and theatres, these figures do not cover drug and grocery stores and many other classes of business started by individual Negroes during the past two years and which are still being operated by them. "The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics has encouraged and aided in the formation of a number of Negro business enterprises to serve special needs of the Race and the reports in its office indicate that the Negroes of West Virginia are undergoing an economic awakening which will at the present rate of progress result in a few years in far greater development of all classes of business and the ownership of more and better homes and farms."

LINCOLN GETS "HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME" Production Which Has Taken Country by Storm Booked For Early Showing Following lengthy negotiations between Carl Laemmle, president of Universal Pictures Corporation and Manager Lane of the Lincoln Theatre, contracts were signed last week for the presentation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Booking of this wonder picture is one of the most important announcements in local theatrical circles in many weeks. The films will be shown for the entire week beginning Sunday, March 30th. The fame of the Victor Hugo classic in its celluloid form has been so generally known that it is hardly necessary to dwell upon its greatness. During the first five months following its premier at the Astor Theatre in New York City it was shown only in the largest legitimate theatres of the United States. It established a record at the Astor by running for more than six months to capacity crowds. Lon Chaney heads the notable cast of 3091 players which includes such brilliant artists as Patsy Ruth Miller, Ernest Torrence, Brandon Hurst, Tully Marshall, Nigel de Brulier and Winnifred Bryson. The majority of the seventy-five principals are as well known on the stage as they are on the screen. The production in its film form has been endorsed by the clergy of all denominations.

Other high water marks of the seaton were the successful staging of the first' Colored Intercollegiate Tournament in the Clark University gymnasium, March 9 and 10th, and the remark- able trip of the Morehouse College’ quintet immediately following — the tournament, r ‘The following members of the Southeastern.

Morehouse College's quintet was easily the best team in the Southeast, followed by Atlanta University, Mor- ris-Brown, and Tuskegee in the or- | der named. All of these showed | good team work, from fair to excel- |lent passing, and little technique in | dribbling, a style of play which tends |to disorganize team play, unless the |dribbler has arrived at that stage |of developmerit vhere he can keep is eyes on his team mates, rather j than the-bally and -be ready” fora In fart I should say, that therein | may be discovered the chief fault with jmost of the Eastern and Western teams, namely a lack of team play. | Usually on each team you have one ; man, never more than two, who are| exceptionally good men, but fail to ‘submerge their individual qualities for the sake of a smooth working team, either from previous experience ‘on a club or semi-professional team, ‘or a desire to show up well in order to get a bid for their services from some| ‘independent club, In passing let me| name two men, who have mastered the art of dribbling so that-they do not upset team play, Gunn of Hamp- ton and Willet of Wilberforce. ‘The number and enthusiasm of audi- ences at games in the Butler St. ‘Y’| Clark, Tuskegee, and State Normal ‘gyms are sufficient proof of the popu- larity of the game in the Southeastern section; especially in view of the! fact that dancing is not associated| ‘with the games as in other sections! of the country for a drawing card.

SPORTS CHATTER THE C.1.A.A. CONSIDERED TWO OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS Time an@ again, this column has attempted to serutinize the workings of the Colored Intercollegiate’ Athletic Association. One or two of our sug- gestions have proven effective. The Association at its last-meeting went on record changing the annual meeting from March to December. ‘The Tribune | ‘of December 15, 1923, called the officials’ attention to the fact that Decem-| ‘ber, instead of March was the best month for the Association to meet. It) ‘also might be recalled that this column scored the Association for not ma ‘patching any news items of its 1923 meeting. Less than a week elapsed ‘after the 1924 meeting before reports had been sent to'the press. Still, our fondest appeal: to the C.1A.A. to change its eligibility rules. was tubled. We still contend that the present eligibility by-laws impair the “go to college” movement which is of sufficient importance to warrant a ‘change. Coach Watson presented~Howard’s side of the issue, which accord- ‘ing to the report, is similar to our contention. A committee will investigate “Howard's objection. We don’t know if Lincoln protested but Coach Young, | sometime ago, gave his views to the press. The committee would do well ‘to consider the Lincoln mentor’s recommendations. } “REVISION OF “H” CLUB WORTHY OF COMMENDATION | The old Howard “H” club has been revived with many worthy purposes ‘injected in its constitution. ‘The club will see that the varsity “H” is not “abused. It will entertain visiting athletes, It will compile records of past ‘end future Howard athletic teams which strikes the writer more forcibly, | than any of its other purposes. With the exception of Hampton, and possibly | Morehouse, we doubt if there is another institution that can furnish athletic ‘records of-a few years back. ‘LOCALLY, THE ATHLETIC GIRL IS EXTINCT | Athletic activities no longer hold any charms for Race women and girls of the District. Only a few years ago the District was represented in the, national tennis tournament by a woman, Last year, not a member of the: fairer sex entered, even the local tournament; Three or more basketball teams operated here two years ago. In the past season not a local girls’: quint was seen in uction. Other cities have female track performers, not so, however, in the District. E Notwithstanding the fact that doctors have recommended athletics for women, this rapid decline has been noted here. Social events can. be re- garded as the chief cause of the lack of interest. It is truly a sorrowful affair to see the “outdoor” girl with her natural—not artificial—color, pass Howard Varsity i Cib Ncvivee A. significant revival was set in motion in Rankin Memorial Chapel Monday last at 8 p.m. when Charles Doneghy, ex-football captain called to order an assemblage composed of those cligible ‘to wear the varsity “H” in any sport for the-purpose of reorganizing the Varsity “H” Club. ‘The aims of the elub-as stated in its constitution, which -was adopted by a unanimous vote are a¥ follows: To foster good fellowship between all “H” men, both graduate and under- graduate; regulate the wearing of the varsity letter; stop the wearing of all foreign letters on, the campus; en- tertain visiting teams and prominent athletes; gencrate the “Good Old Howard Spirit”; encourage good athletes to enter Howard, and to promote scholarship among athletes. The officers clected were: presi- dent, Charles Doneghy; vice-president, Thomas J. Anderson; secretary, L. Baylor; treasurer, Dean Dwight 0. W. Holmes; corresponding secretary, BE. Downing; statistician, M: Clark; sergeant-at arms, H. 0, Bright. ‘Much time was given over to ‘an open discussion of ways and means of collecting pictures, records, and all data concerning the athletic history of “ER” men. ‘hotinieneh ceed ieeeent to be kept on file as a matter of per- manent record. Authority was given retina statistician to, coppmunicate for the--purpose of gathering these miscellaneous items and publishing same from time to time in the several University publications, It was also unanimously voted to hold a reception on the evening of May 10th in honor of the visiting athletes who will participate in the Howard Intercollegiate Track Meet on the afternoon of the above mention- ed date. The club will hold its next meeting in the University Chapel on March 24th, at 8 p. m.

I. A. A. chanfpionship. » Coach Douglass held his first work- out on Wednesday, the twelfth. He expresses himself as being highly pleased with the interest and ability of the boys. Competition is extreme- ly keen. The new recruits are mak- ing the old “vets” set up and take notice, At this time no position is assured; every one has an equal chance. Ze Captain Parker isin good form, and may prove superior on the first sack. “Lad” Wallace’s treacherous curves are effective, and he is a strong contender for the varsity. mound. Blackwell is scuffling for the center field post; while Collins is experienc- ing much difficulty back of the plafe. St. Paul's partial schedule is as fol- lows: April 5, Hampton at Hampton; April 9, Union at Lawrenceville; April 11, Hampton at Lawrenceville; April 19, Virginia Normal at Lawrenceville; Easter Monday, Howard at Lawrence- ville; May, Howard at Washington; May 9, Union at Richmond; May 10, Virginia Normal at Petersburg.

West Va. Finishes in Mid - West League (By F. A. Parker) Institete, W. Va., March 21—A 31 to 16 vietory over Kentucky Normal, followed by a win of 22 to 11 over Simmons University, gave to the basket shooters of the West Vir- ginia Collegiate Institute the champ- ionship of the Mid-West. Four wins out of five starts left the West. Vir- ginians at the top of the column, closely pushed, however, by the “Star- Five” of Wilberforce University which rang up three victories out of four attempts. In this Mid-Western ‘Laegue, conceived by Coach Mohr of Wilberforce University, the final standing of the teams is as follows: Teams WwW. W. Pets West Virginia .... 4 a 800 (By F. A. Parker) Wilberforce ......+. 3 1 750 Kentucky Normal .. 1 3.250 Simmons ......:...2.0.-8 000 The struggle for first honors the League was from the start a con- test between the two leaders, At first, the experience of the veteran Wilberforceians gave to them a dis- tinet advantage over the West Vir- ginia. “Five.” But, as the season ad- vanced, it became more evident that Coach Hamblin’s system was develop- ‘ing in the lighter “five” the speed and ‘team work which eventually brought about their final superiority. Thei five-memdefense ‘kept opponents shooting at a distance, thus nullifying for the most part the work of such stellar forwards as Lewis and Redder of Wilberforce, Cox of Kentucky Nor- mal and Brown of Simmons. ‘The guarding of Columns and Whit« was probably as. good if not bette: than that displayed by any pair in the League, although the work of Huf and Willet of Wilberforce is not. t be passed by without favorable com ment. The offense of the champion: consisted of -a triple pass system destingl to become: famous as mor coaches become familiar. with it working. ‘This proved more effectiv than the offense of the other Leagu teams, though it was not as brillian and spectacular as the offense of Coach Mohr’s team, Drain and Sin clair worked it with startling speed Drain was: probably as good a for ward as the League produced. Altogether, the West Virginia goal tossers opposed. the price of ambi tious ¢oaches nine times, winning seven of the contests and losing two, They lost one game to the worthy University Five of Lexington, Ken- tucky and bowed the other time be- fore the onslaught of the Wilberforce wonders. “Among their victims are numbered the same Wilberforcians Bluefield Colored Institute, Springfield Independents, Zanesville, Kentucky Normal and Simmons University, In these games they have collected a tota ‘of 230 points while their opponents were hammering them for 155. By ‘being erowned Intercollegiate Champ: ions of the Mid-West, they close a most successful season. St. Cyprians Win Four Lose One The basketball squad of the St, Cyprian Institute won four games and lost one during the last week, The Preps won 3 and the Big Five broke even. The Preps defeated the Buffalo A. C. in a Y.M.C.A. League game, Thurs- day, 37-18; the Dunbar A. ©, at the Parish Hall last Wednesday, 23-14 and the St. Augustine A. C. Monday 24-20. Spriggs, Bush and Dorsey stood out as the stars in these games. ‘The Big Five won from the How- ard Frat, Phi Beta Sigma team by the score, 44-30. Carroll, Booze and Campbell were the heavy scorers for the Saints. Cupid, Terpeau and Brown scored for the Frat team. In one of the fastest games at the Parish Hall this season, Armstrong defeated the Saints, 35-27. The game ‘was hotly contested throughout. Arm- strong in the last half overcoming a twelve point lead and holding the Southeast tossers to 1 basket in the last quarter, while they made six. Campbell was the outstanding play- er of the church team, scoring § field goals. The whole Armstrong team played well. Their teamwork caus. ing the St. C.'s downfall. Turner, ‘Lacy and Ellis did the scoring for ‘the school boys. The absence of Car- il from the St. C.’s team weaked its ‘scoring machine. ‘Line-up: St. Cyprian(27) Armstrong (35) Slade ........Porward........ Ellis Booze ........Forward.......

Please write your age after your name in "every letter." Jean Dear Editor: This is the first time that I have written to you, I live at 2440 Nicholas Avenue, S.E. and I go to James G. Birney School. My teacher's name is Mrs. Sparks. I hope that you will be able to understand this letter; because I wrote it myself. I will not let this be my last letter. JEAN TAYLOR (9) Dear, Editor: I haven't written to the page for a long time, but I have been reading the "Children's Page" every week. I noticed that there are one or two children with the same pen-name that some one else has thought of. If the Tribunites prefer the name of flowers there are ever so many unmentioned. For examples: Apple Blossom, Wisteria, and Sweet Peas, etc. I think it would be a good thing for all the Tribunites to meet and have a collation. "Babe's" First Letter Dear Editor: This is my first time to write to the "Children's Page." My name is Hilda M. Minton. I live at 62 Wardsworth Street. I am in the 8-B grade at Vineyard Street School. I would like for my pen-name to be "Babe." Our Best Wishes Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" for a long while, and I have become greatly interested, I live at 44 Defres Street, N.W. I am in the 5-A grade at school. I would have been in a higher grade, but I am sick quite often. I am now suffering with a broken arm. I would like for my pen-name to be "Sister" because I am called that at home. Quoting Good Sentiment Dear Editor: I am writing you a passage from a book I have read, the passage is called "The foot-path of peace." "To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love work and to play, and to look up to the stars; to be contended with your possessions, but not satisfied with yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and every day of Christ; and to spend as much time as you can, with body and spirit, in God's out-of-doors—these are little guide-posts on the foot-path of peace." Birthday Party Dear Editor: My birthday was on February 17, but my mother gave a party for me on February 29. Many of by friends were present: Among those present were Leo Butler, Joseph Mathews, Andrew Smith, Moses Brown, Cyprian Haithman, James Wedge; May Ivy Fenwick, Clara Fenwick, Mildred Lancaster, Pearl Wood, Helen Wood, Mildred Castor, Catherine Castor, Rosina Mathews, Eleanor Thomas, Bertha Thomas, and Josephine Carter. We had games and dancing, I got many beautiful presents and we all spent a pleasant evening. MARY WEDGE (14) "Marguerite" is Greatly Interested in the Page Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" for some time and I have become immensely interested. This is the first time I have attempted to write to you. I am in the 8-B grade at Garnet School. My teacher is Miss Payne, I would like very much to join the Tribunites. I want my pen-name to be "Marguerite." I am sending in the answers to last week's puzzles and hope to obtain a prize. I sincerely wish for the Tribunites much happiness and prosperity. ANNABELLE STEWARD "Smile's" First Letter Dear Editor; This is the first time that I have written to the "Children's Page." I go to James Birney School. I am eight years old, and I am in the 2-B grade. I notice that all the children are sending in pen-names, and I am sending you mine which is "SMILE." "Dolly" Has a Good Motto Not long ago I sent in my pen-name as "Dolly" but did not send in my THEA This has always been my motto, "Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today." Mr. Editor, why did you stop putting the Negro history questions in the paper? I loved to read them because I love my race. I hope to see all of my race just as intelligent as any other race. I have not been writing to the "Children's Page" right along because I have so many studies, and my music, too; but, I never forget the "Children's Page." Hoping that all of the other Tribunites are well, and you too. Dear Editor: I am preparing a serial for our page. I hope to have the first chapter in next week. The name of it is "The Adventures of Dick Scott." I hope it will be enjoyed by all readers as it is full of thrills, but I won't tell you the story. Look for "Dick," March 15th "ROBIN HOOD." (Sir "Robin Hood," The story would have to be sent in completed.—C. L. F.) "Musician" Progressing Dear Editor: I'm writing again, I always like to write because it seems that the more I write the better my penmanship gets. I haven't much to say this week, but I want you to know that I received a high mark for my piano playing at school. As I play so well on the piano mother is going to favor me with a ukelele, then I certainly will think myself a musician—ha! ha! My motto is to "Try to do something every day to build up my race." Give my love to all the Tribunites, please. - "MUSICIAN" "Pineapple" Thinks that the Page has Improved Dear Editor: If you were to compare the "Children's Page" today with the page when it first started you would see a great improvement. My little sister Annie, six years old, said that she would like for her pen-name to be "Bluebird." "PINEAPPLE" A Little Artist Dear Editor: I am sending in my answers to the page. I am glad I was "Honor Child," I will call for my tickets. I have been quite busy for the last two weeks. At school we are beginning some new paintings, and I practice at home a good bit because I like drawing and painting. Mother bought me a painting outfit. Do all the good you can; By all the means you can; AATER Mysterious Communication Hello Wildcat: I hope you are not as fierce as your name.

Byron Hopkins, 812 Madison St.—adv. The Elite Social and Savings Club, a newly formed organization, with Perry R. Felton as president, will give a chitterling supper on March 31 at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burke, 906 Pendleton Street. Tickets will be on sale by the members for twenty cents. Please send all personal, lodge and church news to 812 Madison or 722 Gibbon Streets, not later than Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Among the sick are: Mrs. Matilda Murray, 712 N.

Among those who are improving are Mr. Shadrack Jackson, who was stricken so suddenly on March 14; also Mr. Isaac Keith, who has been ill for a long time. Mrs. Philip P. Webb left Tuesday for Baltimore to attend the Annual Conference held in Ames Memorial Church. She will be the guest of Mrs. Edmund Parker of N. Cary St. A local orchestra, Leon Smith's Virginia Six and, Poke Anderson's Orchestra of Washington, will feature in a contest at White House Hall on March 25. The Lafayette Athletic Association elected three new members this week. The new baseball equipment has arrived and the spring training will start within two or three weeks. Several new features were added to the program for the present season. Belle Haven Lodge No. 254 and Pansy Court of Calanthes Kngihts of Pythias, will celebrate their Annual Thanksgiving at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday, March 30. There will be a sermon preached by Rev. James Gaines of Nassau, Del., who is a former Alexandrian. There will also be a fine literary program. All churches, organization and the public are invited to attend. Miss Florence Murray, a teacher at Virginia Normal School, was a week-end visitor of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Murray, 815 Princess Street. Now that baseball season is about to begin, it would be a good idea for the managers of the respective teams to keep batting and fielding averages of their players. When such records are kept, due credit is given all players and many disputes are cleared. After the close of a very successful conference year, Rev. and Mrs. C. C. Gill was tendered a reception at the Parsonage, 614 S. Washington Street, Thursday evening, March 13 by the members and friends of the church. The rooms were beautifully decorated with flowers donated for the occasion, William A. Carter was toastmaster. Hymns were sung and speeches were made. A buffet luncheon was served consisting of salads, sandwiches, fruits, fruit punch and coffee. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Philip Webb; Mr. and Mrs. Moses Simms; Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hammond, Sr.; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Holland; Mesdames Rosa Frazier, Lucy Lumpkins, Harriet Gaines, Pauline Potter, Mary Mason, Hattie Jones, Eliza Garnett, Henrietta Springs, Misses Cora Taite, Helen Lumpkins and Irene Randolph. The official board requests the return of Rev. Gill. The Progressive Art Club was the host at a very pleasant surprise party in honor of its ex-president, Mrs Laey Doss of Philadelphia at the home of her sister, Mrs. John Pritchett of South Royal Street on Thursday, March 13.

Daughter Jennie Wallace was chairman of the banquet, assisted by Daughter Ruler Mar- The Washington Tribune Fletcher Jordan to Manage Howard A. B. Mr. FLETCHER JORDAN Mr. Fletcher Jordan, formerly manager of the Broadway Theatre, was announced this week as the new manager of Howard Theatre. Mr. Jordan is well known among local theatrical circles. In talking to a Tribune reporter this week, Manager Jordan stated that he will endeavor to restore the Howard to its former glory. Many new features adding to the comfort of the patrons will be introduced. In addition to high class road shows the old time supper show program will be revived. The supper show had its origin at the Howard Theatre some years ago, and was very popular among local theatre-goers. Mr. Jordan stated he intends to present a superb bill of pictures for these shows. According to Mr. Jordan, under his management, there will be no Sunday shows at the Howard Theatre. The theatre will be at the disposal of Washington churches and civic organizations for whatever programs they desire to give on that day. Mr. Jordan recently returned from New York where he succeeded in lining up several good shows for the Howard. The house will officially open under his management Monday night. March 24, with a feature bill. Mamie Smith Coming to Howard Mamie Smith and her Syncopated Jazz Hounds accompanied by Joe Sheftell's Mississippi Club Review, will appear at the Howard Theatre the week of March 31. This will be Miss Smith's first visit to Washington since last year. Her act has been greatly augmented by additional talent. She has always been Washington's favorite singer of the Blues. The Mississippi Club Review is featuring Miss Minto Cato and Bob Williams. Miss Cato is a graduate of Armstrong High School of 1918. She studied music at the Washington Conservatory of Music. She is well You People If the writer was to stand before a Negro audience and repeatedly refer to it as "you people" the indignation and trest of all present would be thoroughly aroused. Public officers are servants of the people. When such an official gets before a Negro audience and refers to it as "you people" nothing is thought of it. At a Parent-Teacher Association meeting held at the Parker-Gray School building some time ago, the superintendent of schools in his remarks repeatedly made use of the phrase "you people." This man being a servant of the people, of all the people, fails to realize that whatever he or the school board does should be a matter of duty and not a matter of patronage, such as is implied when the term "you people" is used. This tone (of patronage) was not used by white speakers to Negro audiences during the war war. The terms were, "we must do our duty," "we this" or "we that." We were brothers then, but now nearly every white speaker lets us know that we are just "you people." And we, the representative of a race, sit and take and grin—C. L. F. A St. Patricks surprise party was tended to Thomas S. Ball by his wife Mrs. Martha Ball at their residence, 1911 Queen Street, March 17. The table was beautifully decorated in keeping with the occasion and an elaborate menu was served. Among the out-of-town guests were Miss Mary Green, Mr. Simms, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Murray, Dr. and Mrs. Smith of Washington and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bell of this city. known in Washington, but has not been seen on a local stage. Supporting Miss Cato is Lillian Goodner, Russell Brown, who originated the Charleston dance, Snow Fisher and Bobbie Lee. Snow Fisher was formerly with the "Liza" Company. The show is reported to be one of the best to ever play at the Howard Theatre. FORMER ROSETIME PLAYERS IN PHILADELPHIA After a successful run of eight weeks in Baltimore at the Royal Palace Blue Room, Hartwell Cook and Chas. S. Johnson with their newly named "Hurry Along" Revue opened for an indefinite run at Bobby Lee's "Cinderella Inn," 16th and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., last Monday night. Long before the first performance which was at 10:30, patrons stormed the entrance to this beautiful amusement center for admission. Representative people from all walks of life were among the vast number present. It is safe to predict that with a musical organization such as Bobby Lee and his famous Cotton Pickers Band, backing up the creditable program such as this organization of revue artists can present, that the time is not far distant before greater things can be expected. The whole company is being comfortably cared for by the hospitality of William Baily at his cozy Attucks Hotel, 15th and Catherine Streets. In addition to the members of the Baltimore company, Miss Alice Coleman, and Messrs. Chas. Jones and Raymond Glascoe have been very valuably added to the present company. Starting with a capital stock of $2,800 several prominent colored men of Atchison, Kansas, have organized a broom factory.
