Johnson, white, and rounds out the complete colored personnel, which will have full charge upon the leaving of Dr. Griffith. Dr. J. W. Thornton is the clinical director.
Ends Bitter Fight
The appointment of Dr. Ward as acting officer in charge of this hospital ends a bitter fight between the colored people of the United States and Alabama whites over the personnel.
This hospital—the finest of its kind in the world—was built at Tuskegee, Ala., exclusively for Negro soldiers. It was the understanding that it would have an all-colored personnel. But after its dedication, Colonel R. H. Stanley, a native Alabamian, was made the commanding officer and given a white staff.
Colonel Stanley immediately began an agitation to retain this position. He aroused the entire Tuskegee community. Protests were filed with the President against the removal of Colonel Stanley and the white employees. The legislature of the State of Alabama passed a resolution petitioning the President not to remove them. The Ku Klux Klan (hooded in sheets furnished them by Colonel Stanley) paraded through the Government grounds and were banqueted in the hospital dining room.
The colored people also carried their fight to the President. General Frank T. Hines, the director of the Veterans Bureau, was instructed by the White House to replace the white personnel with an all-colored one. He pussy-footed, but the White House insisted that these instructions be carried out.
After General Hines made a personal inspection of the Tuskegee hospital, Colonel Stanley was transferred and Dr. Griffith, then the executive officer, was made the medical officer in charge. The white personnel was afterwards relieved in sections from time to time.
Dr. Griffith fought to retain the place, but seemingly his fighting was of no avail. The appointment of Dr Ward completes the all-colored personnel. Dr. Ward served throughout the world war in the Medical Corps and saw service in France. He was commissioned a major and was attached to Base Hospital No. 49 at Allerley. He is from Indianapolis, Ind., where he

SOLOMON HOOD PAYS VISIT TO PRES. COOLIDGE
The Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, Minister and Consul General to Liberia, conferred with President Coolidge on Wednesday of last week with regard to the attitude of the United States toward that country.
He had come to the city purposely for the interview with the President in order that he might be able to say just what the interest of the American government was in Liberia, he stated upon leaving the executive offices.
"President Coolidge," said Mr. Hood, "expressed the deepest interest in and his willingness to do anything he could for the success and advancement of the Liberian government."
Prior to his call at the White House, Mr. Hood conferred with Secretary of State Hughes at the State Department. Mr. Hughes told him, he said, that the United States owed a traditional and moral responsibility to Liberia.
The failure of Congress to authorize the loan of $5,000,000 to Liberia was a sore disappointment to the people of that country, Mr. Hood replied to a query.
He explained that President King had made that one of the objectives of his administration, by which he intended to develop the resources of the country by making necessary internal improvements. He added that when President King came to this country on a plenary commission after his consultation with the late (Continued on page 5)

PORO COLLEGE OPENS BRANCH OFFICE HERE
Will Teach Famous System and be Supply Station for Local Agents
The Poro College of St. Louis, Mo., opened a branch office here Thursday evening at 1939 9th Street, Northwest. The local branch will be under the management of Mrs. Annie E. DeVault of this city. The opening of the Poro branch here, adds another step forward in the development of this big enterprise. The local branch will teach the Poro system of beauty culture, face massage and manicuring. It will also act as distributing agency for all Poro products in this city. Poro Beauty Parlor is the name of the local brunch. It is one of the finest equipped parlors in Washington. There are four booths for the treatment of the scalp and face. Each booth is in charge of a competent and well-experienced person. Five people will be employed in the parlor. The selection of equipment and arranging it was done under the personal supervision of Mrs. Ida M. Johnson of the Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., who came here especially to look after the details.
Mrs. Johnson stated to a Tribune reporter that each Poro branch must compare favorably in equipment and management to the parent organization in St. Louis. The same uniform service that patrons get in St. Louis will be given patrons at the local branch. The Poro Beauty Parlor is conveniently located in the heart of the great northwest section convenient to all car lines.
Hundreds of users of Poro products visited the new parlor Thursday evening during the hours of 8 to 10 p.m., and inspected the plant. A dainty repast was served all the guests.
Mrs. Annie E. DeVaul, the manager, announced that the parlor would be open for business beginning Friday morning, every day in the week except Sundays; the opening hour will be from 9 a.m., and the closing hour 6 p.m. Tuesdays, the parlor will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. This is done to accommodate those who cannot get off during the day. Phone service will also accommodate those who desire to phone orders or to make appointments for classes or service. It is the hope of Mrs. DeVaul to make the Washington branch one of the most popular in the link of Poro branches. Small of statue, but active with mind and limb, Mrs. DeVaul with her pleasing personality, represents the new type of women who are now entering the field of business endeavor. She is well known and well liked here, where she has represented the Poro College for a number of years.
The courses given and the diplomas issued here are the same as the courses given and the diplomas issued at the home college in St. Louis.

DR. MONTGOMERY RETIRES AFTER LONG SERVICE
DR. MONTGOMERY RETIRES AFTER LONG SERVICE
Veteran Has Taught Here for Nearly a Half Century; Receives Tribute
In keeping with the progressive policy of the present school administration, to carry out, in all cases, without exception, the provision of the retirement law, which are both automatic and compulsory, Dr. Winfield Scott Montgomery, Supervising Principal of the 12th Division who reached the age limit—seventy years—November 3, 1923, but who was continued in the service by the Board of Education until June 30th, 1924, has been put on the retired list, after rounding out a period of nearly half a century in the public schools here. Dr. Montgomery was appointed in 1875 and by faithful and efficient conduct in the line of duty, at an early age, demonstrated a peculiar fitness for the work as an educator. Coming up through the various grades, Mr. Montgomery had a chance to study the different phases of public school life from the origin of the little one-room red schoolhouse to the present modern-day twenty-four room structure. Perhaps to no official—living or dead—is due more the credit, for the progress made in this direction, than he.
As a teacher, high school principal, supervising principal and assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, Prof. Montgomery, ever on the alert, did much to advance the cause of education and wherever the light pointed, his efforts to lead others there, was his sole aim.
His retirement, while regretted in many quarters, does not altogether deprive the community of what ever advice or influence he might give should the occasion require it.
Commenting upon the action, Superintendent Wilkinson of the Washington Public Schools pays this tribute: "Dr. W. S. Montgomery has served the Public Schools of the District of Columbia faithfully and efficiently through a period of practically one-half century. During this long period, he has served in the capacity of teacher, high school principal, supervising principal and assistant superintendent in charge of Colored schools. Both the extent and quality of service will be long remembered and deeply appreciated by school officials and by the citizens of Washington.
Band Concert at the Suburban Gardens
Suburban Gardens, the National Playground, is enjoying one of the best seasons this year. Last week, thousands of pleasure-seekers journeyed to the gardens for recreation and fun.
Many new features were added for the public's enjoyment. The management of the park is doing everything to add to the comfort of the patrons.
One of the really big features added this summer is the band concerts given by the Community Center's Band. These concerts are given every Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. and are free to the public.

EUGENE K. JONES HONORED
Annual Session of the National Conference of Social Workers held in Toronto, Canada, June 26th to July 2nd, Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League was elected to the Executive Committee. This was the first time in the history of that organization that the conference at large, consisting of nearly 6,000 persons—3,500 delegates present—has voted a colored person into this office. As evidence of the fact that Mr. Jones was a popular choice, the audience applauded vigorously when the announcement was made by the President at the general session on Tuesday night. There were thirteen candidates for the five positions on the Executive Board that were open—Mr. Jones standing third on the list of candidates. The other persons elected to the Board were Edith Abbott, Dean of the School of Social Administration of the Chicago University; James F. Jackson, Chairman of the Section on Family Welfare of the Cleveland Council of Social Agencies; Julia C. Lathrop and Robert A. Woods, former presidents of the National Conference of Social Work.
At this conference there were some forty colored delegates. There were nineteen places on the program at which the Negro was discussed in some form and fourteen of the speakers were colored.
This recognition of the problems among Negroes and the part which Negro social workers are playing in efforts to improve the community life of the nation is considered most significant by students of inter-racial problems,—it being considered that this conference group made up of the leading and most active social workers of the United States and Canada is the most liberal and democratic of the organizations interested in human betterment. Mr. Jones who served this year on the Committee of Time and Place was elected for a term of three years.

OFFICIALS MAKE STATEMENT ON DOUGLASS PARK
Beautiful Doulass Park, a colored subdivision in Arlington County, Virginia, is forging ahead as never before. It is attracting the attention of those interested in such development to the extent that the President of the Washington Development Corporation, promoters of this great enterprise, has issued a letter to the pastors whose churches are members of the General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia which was read and commented upon from the various pulpits last Sunday. The text of the letter follows:
"Dear Pastor:
"You may have heard that there have been some fires in Douglass Park, Virginia, a subdivision that is being sold to colored people only. These fires may or may not be of incendiary origin, but the report of the burning of Rev. Washington Robinson's house seems to be circulated as having been set on fire. There has been no uprising of the white people in that section, and there is no proof that the house and office were set on fire.
"The office burned in broad daylight. Some people had been in the office the night before and admitted that they had been smoking. There were some matches handled in Reverend Robinson's house in less than three hours before it burned. There have been some people who desire to circulate certain reports of an injurious character on very small cause. We are

CAR OVERTURNED AFTER HITTING CULVERT
Party was Motoring to Colton, Md., to Spend the Holidays
One of the saddest accidents in this section in recent years, marred what would have been otherwise a perfect Fourth of July. Besides ending the life of one of the District's most respected citizens, it cast a shadow of gloom over the happy wedded life of a bride and groom of two months. The accident occurred on the Leonardtown Pike, near Bryantown, Md., Friday morning, July 4th, and resulted in the instant death of Mrs. Cordelia Syphax Boyd and painful injuries to Mrs. Edna Boyd Gary and Mrs. Fred Syphax.
Injured Rushed Here
The injured were given first aid and then rushed to Washington for surgical attention. A coroner's jury was summoned immediately after the accident and rendered a decision absolving Mr. Daniel McKinley Gary, the driver, from blame.
Was Enroute to Colton
The party was enroute to Colton, Md., to spend the holidays and in cluded Mr. Daniel Gary and his bride, Mrs. Edna Boyd Gary of 208 S Street, Northwest; Mrs. Cordelia Syphax Boyd, mother of the bride; Mr. Fred Syphax, (son of Mrs. Boyd) and his wife, who is also a bride. They were motoring in a new Dodge Sedan which was driven by Mr. Gary. A short distance ahead of Mr. Gary's car was Mr. John T. Risher who was sitting on a pilot as he knew the road.
The cars were going about 20 or 25 miles per hour when a mail truck drew up behind the Dodge. The mail truck signalled the Dodge that it wanted to pass and Mr. Gary, the driver, attempted to turn his car to the side of the road in order that the truck might pass.
While the truck was passing Mr. Gary, another car loomed up in front of the truck and thereby forced the truck to take more to the side of the road. In taking to the side, the truck forced Mr. Gary to also cut over more to the side. In giving the,truck more road, Mr. Gary evidently misjudged his distance and the front wheel of his car struck a stone culvert.
Mr. Gary is well known in real estate circles here, being one of the young dealers in this field, he has built up by hard work, a good list of clients. His office is in the Lewis building, at 11 and U Streets, Northwest.
Thrown Out of Car
The force of the blow threw Mrs. Boyd, who was evidently off balance when the car struck, from the back seat out of the car, killing her instantly. The car turned over. Mrs. Edna Boyd Gary was cut under the chin by flying glass while Mrs. Syphax was thrown against the front seat and sustained a painful injury to her nose. The two men were slightly shaken up but not serious. The car which was purchased a little over a month ago was wrecked.
Mrs. Cordelia S. Boyd Well Known Here
The tragic death of Mrs. Cordelia S. Boyd, the result of the automobile accident, removed from our midst a most valued citizen. Mrs. Boyd was born in this city and was the daughter of the late Colbert S. and Cordelia W. Syphax, one of Washington's oldest and most highly respected families. She was educated in the public schools of this city and for nine years rendered excellent service as a teacher in the Sumner and Garrison schools.: From her early life in childhood, which was one of the sweetness and modesty she grew to womanhood of rare charm and dignity and always affectionately know as "Pet" Syphax. when in 1895 she was united in marriage to the late Mr. Russell N. Boyd, a gentleman of unusual sterling qualities, the union opened the doors of this community to a home

Our Sympathy . . . The Democratic Deadlock, Its Cause and Effect
This Column and its readers extend our heartfelt sympathy to President and Mrs. Coolidge in these sad days. We are moved to the sincerest compassion for them. For such a touch of nature makes the whole world kin. It makes every parent realize the baffling mysteries of natural order and the impotence
these sad days. We are moved to the sincerest compassion for them. For such a touch of nature makes the whole world kin. It makes every parent realize the baffling mysteries of natural order and the impotence of human compassion and longing; brings men and women into closer contact with realities; creates a fellow-feeling, which is one of the great compensations of suffering and one of the most consoling fruits of human association.
(I. L. Parker)
At this writing the Democratic Convention has not succeeded in accomplishing its purpose—finding a candidate who will win and will deserve to win in November. The selection of a man qualified to occupy the position of the President of the United States surpasses in importance every other consideration of the Convention.
Why is it that the Convention has not accomplished its purpose?
It may be that, by the time you read this, the Democrats will have pulled themesles together and made a Presidential nomination. But the antagonisms prolonging the deadlock, the disrupted processes within the party went so far that there was talk of adjourning the sessions at Madison Square and reassembling some weeks later in another city.
In 1860 the Democratic Convention took fifty-seven fruitless ballots at Charleston, S.C., in the latter part of April, adjourned, and reconvened in Baltimore June 18. There were two sets of Democratic candidates nominated that year—one by the Southern wing and one by the Northern wing. A compromise was out of the question—the feud between them had become too inflamed.
But to-day, the difference does not seem so acute and passionate as those of 1860. 'Tis true that these differences have accentuated the sectional and temporal incompatabilities until the Party has become a house divided against itself. Yet, the Party has seldom been a truly uified national party. Instead, it has three well-defined groups operating within, each of them developing the characteristics of a party.
The two-thirds rule—adopted in 1832—has aggravated the differences of point-of-view. It was originally devised to protect the Southern minority; now it furnishes protection to two other minorites: Western and Northern. During the days when slavery was the big issue down thru the post-Civil War period, the section which furnished most of the distinguished party leaders was quiescent when it came to Presidential nominations. Consequently, the obstacle thrown in the way of a Presidential nomination by the two-thirds rule requirements was not so serious.
The last Democratic Presidential nominee to be chosen from a Southern state, except in 1860, when Breckinridge was picked by the seceding Democrats, was Jas. K. Polk. To dictate the nomination of a Northern candidate was enough to satisfy the South. It was never serious in the presentation of its own candidate. It threw its influence to the North or to the West to control national conventions.
The unit rule, another hindrance, a survival from the heyday of the doctrine of state rights, is intended to offset the inequity of the two-thirds rule. It was assumed that a majority in any state could deprive a minority of representation even though the minority had elected delegates in the Congressional districts.
It did not take the Republican Party long to abolish the unit rule, for it found such a ruling repugnant to the theory and the fact in that representation in national conventions was based on Congressional districts rather than on the state as a whole. But the Democratic Party still claims a partiality to home rule and local autonomy.
The Democratic Party is not a national party; for, if it were, it would not exalt sectionalism over nationalism or think of the country as composed of states acting in conventions as principalities and casting undivided votes.
To-day, as W. J. Bryan would have it understood, the South's Presidential inhibition has been removed. Underwood, Robinson, and Glass are serious Presidential aspirants, thinks Mr. Bryan. But, as long as the lightning is likely to strike any Southern-

er, the South will not resume wholeheartedly its ancient role of mere balance of power in the selection of a non-Southern candidate. The South is intensely "dry" only in the political sense; the Northern Democracy—represented by the big city and state organizations—is, in like manner, "wet." The North did not want this issue put into the platform, because it realized the futility of making a fight at this juncture for modification of the Volstead act. Yet, partisanship, "wet," and "dry," has played an important role in all the sub-surface maneuverings to name a Presidential candidate. It is the fundamental, uncompromisable difference between the Democratic South and West, on the other hand, and the Democratic North, on the other.
Nothing could be more disruptive than the religious issue, which showed its virulence in the fight for and against an anti-Klan declaration. The South was violently opposed to such a declaration, the West joined hands with her; but the great centers of Northern Democracy set their hearts on such a crusade.
A party, torn into so many conflicting group interests and required to act through a two-thirds rule, can not be expected to reach a reasonable prompt decision. Where there is no genuine political issue which neither grips the party nor lifts its groups temporarily above self-interest, we can only expect the inevitable—deadlock, dissension, travail. Only sheer exhaustion will produce a nomination, and only sheer luck will decide whether the party will select a fit or unfit leader.
Race Men in Charge of Tuskegee Hospital
(Continued from page one.)
The promotion of Dr. Ward to the headship of the hospital ends of the longest and bitterest fights ever made by Negroes for a principal.
The fight began in the spring of 1923, shortly after the dedication of the hospital by President Coolidge, who was then Vice-President. Major R. R. Moton principal of Tuskegee Institute, immediately became involved in the fight and lined up with
the whites, who were under the leadership of State Senator Powell and W. W. Campbell, both of Tuskegee and connected with the school.
In May 1923, it was reported by the James E. Walker Post of the American Legion that Major Moton had told the Veterans Bureau here over long distance telephone that he would agree to a policy of manning the hospital with whites, with the exception of a few minor positions, which should go to Negroes.
of the hospital in this parade. It was also charged that after the Klan parade, the Kluxers had a little feast in the dining room of the hospital.
Although all of these charges were filed in Washington, neither the Veterans Bureau, the Department of Justice nor the President did anything about it but to promise the Negroes that they would investigate.
When the hospital was opened, a number of soldiers refused to go there, likewise many doctors refused

The great hospital was formerly opened, June 1st, 1923 with Col. R. H. Stanley of Greenville, Ala., in charge. His staff of nurses was white. Each white nurse was to have a colored nurse (maid) who was to do the actual work. The colored nurses sent there were insulted by the whites and much commotion was caused over the incident.
The fight became bitter during the summer months. A big protest meeting was held here (Washington, D.C.) under the auspices of the Washington Tribune, which had taken the lead in demanding an all Negro personnel. Feeling ran high among the citizens throughout the country and hundreds of protests were sent to Washington by organizations. So bitter did the fight become last July that Major Moton was forced to leave Tuskegee. Shortly after Major Moton left, Dr. Kenney, head of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, was forced to leave by the whites.
It was claimed that Dr. Moton left because he had become embarrassed in supporting the white program, but he had gone so far, he could not turn back. So uncertain was Dr. Moton as to what he should do, that he refused all efforts of newspaper reporters to interview him. He practically went into seclusion at his summer home at Cappahosic, Va. and remained there for many months. The National Medical Association took up the fight and through its uniting efforts of Dr. M. O. Dumas, of this City, waged a clean fearless fight. Dr. Dumas is possibly more responsible for the final decision to place all colored in charge of the hospital than any one else.
The Ku Klux Klan staged a big parade around the hospital and school grounds last July; several nurses were summarily dismissed because they reported the fact that Col. Stanley or some other white person had permitted the Klan to use the sheets
of the hospital in this parade. It was also charged that after the Klan parade, the Kluxers had a little feast in the dining room of the hospital. Although all of these charges were filed in Washington, neither the Veterans Bureau, the Department of Justice nor the President did anything about it but to promise the Negroes that they would investigate. When the hospital was opened, a number of soldiers refused to go there, likewise many doctors refused to do duty there. Late in August of last year, the Veterans Bureau here announced that by a gradual elimination, the hospital would be finally manned by a Negro staff.
This policy has been in force since last fall and with the announcement of the promotion of Dr. Ward, shows that the policy of elimination has been completed.
The promotion of Dr. Ward brings under Negro management the finest hospitals in the world. Men who have visited the hospital recently say that the Negro doctors have more than measured up. With the stigma of white domination removed, it is now assured that more competent men can now be secured. There are several openings as department heads at this hospital, which will be filled very soon.

Beautiful Girl
Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but
long and silky soft as it is now,
and my complexion was sallow,
and there were often unsightly
pimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt off.

EARL JOHNSON FINISHES WAY BACK IN RACE
Dehart Hubbard, the great University of Michigan athlete and Ned Gourdin, Harvard track star, added international fame to their many won laurels by finishing first and second in the broad jump event, Tuesday, in the Olympic games now in progress at Colombes, France. Hubbard's leap of 24 feet, 6 inches placed him above all others while Gourdin covered 23 feet, 11 inches to land in second place. They added 15 points, 10 and 5 respectively, to the U. S. total.
Hubbard's winning jump came on his final trial after he had sprained his ankle very badly. But for his injury there is strong possibility that he might have surpassed the world's broad-jump record set-up the day previous by Bob LeGendre. Gourdin made a desperate attempt to regain the world's record but fell short by 19 inches.
Johnson Poor Mudder
Earl Johnson, America's best distance runner, was unable to cope with the foreigners in the 10,000 meter race, Sunday, and finished back in the ranks. Ritola, the Finnish runner, whom Earl Johnson forced to quit last fall when the latter won the national 5-mile championship, flashed brilliant speed to win the race which is over a distance of about 61-15 miles in record time. The sloppy condition of the track was not in Johnson's favor and he wisely eased up at the end. It is expected that the Pittsburgh will at least place in the cross-country race late in the week, providing of course that he came out of the last race in good condition.
West Stays on Bench
The failure of the U. S. team to place but two men in the money in the pentathlon is believed due to the failure of the coaches to enter Charley West. Third and sixth places were the best the American's got. West would hardly have finished lower than fourth and thereby added at least 3 points.
The cross-country run in which Earl Johnson will carry the stars and stripes and the hop, step and jump event in which Hubbard, if his injury is not too serious, will try to make a double victory, are the only other events in which Race athletes will compete.
In an exhibition jump for movie operators it was reported that Need Gourdin, colored star, who placed second in the broad jump, leaped 2 feet 8 inches, besting Bob Le Genre's world's record jump by two inches. This, however, was unofficial.
Black Sox Gain at P's Expense
BEN TAYLOR ROBS FORCE OF
NO-HIT GAME WITH SINGLE
IN NINTH
The Baltimore Black Sox continued
their triumphant march to the pen-
nant by taking yesterday's games
from the Washington Potomacs,
thereby tucking the whole series
away in the win column. This throws
the Sox into second place within a
few points of first. The scores were
6 to 2 and 3 to 0.
First game:
Black Sox .....012 012 00x-6
Potomacs .....000 200 000-2
Sykes and Rojo; Hampton and Eg-
gleton.
The second seto was a heart breaker for Pitcher Force, on the mound for the Sox. Up until the ninth inning, with two hands out, the little twirler had not allowed a hit. Big Ben Taylor ruined the perfect game after two hands were down in the last inning by driving a scorching single down the first-base line. The next man fouled out to the catcher.

BLACK SOX JINX STILL
FOLLOWS POTOMACS
Baltimore, Md., July 4—The Black Sox experienced little difficulty in taking two games from the Washington Potomac here today by the scores, 5 to 4, and 8 to 2. The Sox bunched hits off of Wayne Carr to win the first game. McClure was effective in all but one inning when the visitors counted four times on singles by Hamilton, Taylor and Washington, two errors by Day and Eggleton's triple, Beckwith's fielding and Ford's timely hitting featured the game.
The Sox got to Clarke, the former Howard University pitcher, in the second inning of the nightcap and were never threatened thereafter. A great catch of line drive by Johnson off the bat of "Country" Brown with three on bases saved Force in the third inning Greer took the mound for the visitors in the third inning and pitched well.
Black Sox .....010 112 00x—5 9 2

Potomacs .....000 011 000—2 9 4
Force and Rojo; Clarke, Greer and Eggleton, Williams.
The lack of speed has been one of the Potomacs' most noticeable handicaps. This probably accounts for the inability of the club to score a reasonable number of runs in comparison with the hits gotten.

BROOKLAND GIANTS WIN
TWO
The Brookland Giants defeated the Stewardtown A. C. from Maryland today in two games by the scores 11 to 9 and 3 to 1.
Mills, the Giants' southpaw ace, pitched good ball but received poor support. Featuring the first game was the fielding of Lomax, Clarke and Brown and the batting of Temple who received four hits in four tries.
In the nightcap a fast and perfect game was presented by both teams. For seven innings a duel raged between Boyd of Stewardtown and Kenney, the Giants' star righthander. Featuring this game was the fielding of Clarke, Brown and Lomax who also batted well.
RACE ATHLETES AMONG THOSE
IN TWO EVENTS
Only six U. S. Olympic athletes are entered in two events, excluding the pentathlon and decathlon, and Dehart Hubbard is one of them. Hubbard will try his luck in the broad jump and hop, step and jump. Earl Johnson will race in the 10,000 meters and cross-country run. Johnson faces the two Finnish marvels, Nurmi and Ritola in both races.
Ben Taylor predicts that before his club comes here for the next game that it will go on a spurt similar to that of the Nationals.

LEAGUE COULD PLAY BETTER BASEBALL
A much better brand of baseball could be presented in the Eastern League if the Commissioners would set down certain principles and see that they are carried out. First, the games must be speeded up. It is nerve-wrecking to see the players walk on and off the field. Some stop to talk and joke, others sit on the bench until umpire calls the batter up. The infielders and pitchers require too much time to warm up between innings. In some places, the umpire is forced to hold up the game at least a half dozen times calling for balls. Why can't we have a trot on and off the field? Why not have some one supply the ump with balls between plays?
The umpire question is far from a settlement. We have seen umpires give decisions in league games this year that would make a blind man ashamed. Raw decisions against visiting clubs should not be tolerated. Wilful robbery only serves to bring on arguments and often fights. Impartial officiating would mean a better understanding between the umpires and players and eliminate much argumentation during the games. The Commissioners should demand that the umpires be fair to the visiting club. The League games must be placed on a higher plane and less umpire baiting and more aggressive work on the field would help greatly.
NO "CLASSIC" SCANDALS IN THE FUTURE
The athletic authorities of Howard and Lincoln are determined to avoid another repetition of conditions as existed at the 1923 "classic." Representatives of the two universities at a meeting held in Baltimore on June 28, went on record as holding the institution managing the affair through its regular Administrative officers responsible for the business end.
Thus, at future games the public is promised police protection, Reserved seats will go to the rightful owners. Needless delays and irregularities will be eliminated. Newspaper scandals of money short will be impossible. The Howard authorities have always conducted the "classic" in first class order. But in Philadelphia, the dilapidated condition of the ball park and inefficiency of the park helpers have caused the public many inconveniences and much dissatisfaction. On this account it would not be at all surprising if Philadelphia lost the 1925 game. However, Washington is assured of being the host to the throng this fall.
WHY SO MANY GIANTS?
One of the mysteries of Negro baseball is the fondness we have for the title "Giants." It is estimated that at least one-fourth of the colored ball clubs of the country, including sandlot, independent, semi-professional and professional, bear the name "Giants." In the Eastern League there are four clubs with the "Giant" attachment. In the Western League are two clubs carrying this title.

The writer can see no reason for this "Giant" craze. True, most of the Eastern League clubs were named years ago and at a time when the public had high regards for every club bearing that caption, regardless of its caliber. Only one Eastern League club should carry the "Giant" title. Why should it be necessary to say or write such lengthy names as "Atlantic City Bacharach Giants," or "Brooklyn Royal Giants" or "New York Lincoln Giants"? Why not say the "Atlantic City Bacharachs," "New York Lincoln," "Brooklyn Royals," and let Harrisburg alone retain the "Giant" title? The press would surely appreciate such change because it is a space saver. The League is in its infancy and none of the above clubs would suffer in popularity from such change.
ARLINGTON ATHLETICS ADD
THREE MORE WINS
The fast traveling "Pride of Arlington" Athletics, won a twin holiday bill on the Fourth, journeying to the Seminary and taking a fast played game from the Black Sox of that vicinity by a score of 2 to 0. Snow on the mound for the winners was too good for the Sox while the stellar playing of the entire team bordered on the sensational.
The Athletics, then called on the fast pace-setting Virginia Quick Steps and won a four-inning game by the score of 3 to 2. Walker held the Quick Steps in check after they had amassed a two-run lead, while his team-mates batted out a victory.
The "Pride of Arlington," Athletics, won a one-sided game from the Mt. Pleasant A. C. of Washington, D. C. at Arlington, Sunday by the score, 14 to 0. Madison allowed the visitors one while the Athletics batted two moundmen hard. In the last three games the Athletics have been only charged with but five errors, and all pitchers have been effective. For games with the Arlington Athletics, address M. A. Richardson, Box 198, R. F. D. 2, Alexandria, Va.
"COLOR LINE" ORIGINATOR DIES
IN NEW YORK
Jimmy Wakely, the man reputed to have originated the "color line" died in New York last week at the age of 77. It was Wakely who urged, the not-over-anxious John L. Sullivan not to fight Peter Jackson. Wakely saw Jackson and Corbett fight 61 rounds and right away decided that Jackson was no man for Sullivan to meet if th latter was to hold the championship crown. Wakely was Sullivan's chief backer and his influence over John L. cost Peter Jackson the crown. Until this day boxing fans bate Sullivan's honors on this account.

CUBANS HIT STRIDE
New York, July 4—The Cuban Stars flashed a bit of their old-time form here today, and captured a pair of games from the Royal Giants by the scores, 6-3 and 2-1. The Giants made 12 hits off of Oscar in the first game but he kept them well scattered. Juanelo bested Redding in the night-cap. The Cubans played without the services of their heavy-hitting outfielders Oms and Baro.
"RATS" JUMPS BACHARACHS
"Rats" Henderson, ace of the Bacharach staff, and one of the leading pitchers in the league, is reported to have jumped the Bacharachs and cast his lot with Chappie Johnson's club. It is claimed that the "seashore" club failed to treat Henderson just right and he has bettered his condition by far. _____

Many new faces will be shown to Washington fans when the Potomacs return here on July 27th to battle the Harrisburg Giants. Outfielder George Shively and pitcher "Stringbean" Williams are no longer with the club.

Grays and left for Chicago, the Potomac management sent "Steelarm" Taylor, Ben's brother, to the "Windy City" in an effort to head him off but when "Steelarm" arrived in Chicago, Charlie Spedden, Black Sox owner, had just left with the star shortfielder. "Steelarm" brought Jimmy Lyons, the once great outfielder of the American Giants, back but Lyons was physically unfit and didn't last a week.

BROOKLAND GIANTS DEFEAT
ACME
Gaithersburg, Md., July 4—The Brookland Giants visited here today and defeated the Acme Athletic Club from here by the score of 11 to 3. Featuring this game was the pitching of Jenkins and Mills, and the fielding of N. Jones, Clarke and Temple. The Giants batted Neale, the Acme strike-out king, out of the box in the sixth inning.
BROOKLAND GIANTS MAKE IT
NINE STRAIGHTS
The Brookland Giants made it nine straight wins Sunday when they defeated the Georgetown Athletics, 7 to 3, and the Potomac Giants 15 to 6. "Boots" Kenney and "Sam" Mills were in rare form. The first game was a pitchers' duel for five innings between "Boots" and "Bus." Then with a man on first the Athletics third-sacker crashed a home run over No. 6 diamond. Then the Giants started swinging their clubs and when they put down the score was 7 to 3. Fisher's batting, "Boot's" pitching and the teamwork of the Giants featured. In the second game "Sam" Mills relieved Steward in the second inning and southpawed the Potomacs to death. Sam pitched easily. Any time a rally threatened, Sam would strike out his batter easily. Only one man getting an extra base blow off of him. Again Fisher's bat was responsible for more runs. Getting his second home run for the day. Mills' pitching and the Brooklanders' team-play and a spectacular catch by the Potomac's center-fielder featured.
Sunday the Brookland boys go out to 5th and L Streets, S.E. to play the Stonewall A. C.
ARLINGTON COUNTY SCHOOLS
CLOSE
Arlington County, Va.—The public schools of Arlington County held their closing and graduating exercises, Thursday, June 19th, 8 p.m., Prof. Fletcher Kemp, superintendent, presiding.
State Senator Frank L. Ball, after delivering an eloquent and timely address, presented diplomas to the following eighth grade classes: Kemper School, Arlington, Miss E. M. Boston, principal—John Austin Boswell, Edward Bullock, Jessie L. Johnson, Ben Edward Walker, Matthew Rowe West, Alice Louise Clinton, Helen Louise Griffith and Vernal Eola Taylor, Sumner School, Halls Hill; L. C. Baltimore, principal ← Elber Chauncy Lewis, Roscoe Richards, Katherine Matilda Atkins, Grace Elizabeth Clarke, Edith Theresa Newman, Emily Virginia Randolph, Naomi Thompson and Bessie Anna Wright.
The program was varied with choice music, songs and recitations. The most interesting among them being Kelly Miller's "Oath of Afro-American Youth" by Edward Jos. Bullock of Kemper School. This rendition elicited
such a storm of applause that the youth had to respond to an encore, which amounted to an ovation by nearly a thousand people.
Senator Ball said, "If Kelly Miller's Afro-American youth were broadcasted by every school and to every youth in this land, I would as a lawyer, lose a job and the jails would be compelled to close their doors."
The class from Kemper School gave their teacher, Miss E. M. Boston, a delicious luncheon on closing day at the adjacent residence of Mrs. Thomas West. The rooms were decorated with the seasons' flowers and ferns.
These closing exercises were held in the auditorium of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Rev. Joseph H. Lee, pastor.
SOLOMON HOOD CALLS ON
PRESIDENT
(Continued from page 1)
President Harding and Secretary Hughes, he believed that the obtaining of the loan was a foregone conclusion. "The defeat therefore of the measure by the Senate was a very great blow to the country," he said. "At present the country is recovering from the effects of this disappointment and striving to so interest capital, especially American, that they will be able to develop the natural resources in the same way they would have done had the loan been obtained from the United States," he continued. "There is, therefore, a great field for investment in Liberia, which is rich in the production of p'm oil, coffee, cocoa, dye-woods, mahogany, and especially rubber," he said, "and it would seem that being a struggling Negro country, the colored people of the United States, especially those representing corporations, insurance companies and banks, should be interested in this subject." Mr. Hood will remain in this country for a few weeks and then will return to his post of duty in Liberia.
LOCAL CHIROPRACTORS
ORGANIZE
On the evening of July 7th, a large number of well known practitioners in the science of chiropractic assembled at The Central Chiropractic College, 1914, 7th Street, Northwest, and formed a permanent organization to be known as The Washington City Chiropractors Association. The following officers were elected: President, Dr. Alexander Van Rooyen; vice-president, Dr. Marie F. Whitty; Secretary, Dr. Charles A. Thompson; Treasurer, Dr. Lewis C. Sheafe. Several papers were read, including one on Harvey Lillard, an American Negro, upon whose body Chiropractic was first practiced in Davenport, Iowa, on September 18, 1895. The speaker announced that Mr. Lillard is now enjoying good health, he having been cured of deafness at that time. Steps were taken toward increasing the membership of the association, with a view to enlarging the scope of the practice of this Science, which is making such progress among our people.
SCHOOL BOARD
The first fight by members of the new School Board came Monday, over the appointment of a Supervising Principal of the 10-13 divisions.
Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, a member of the personnel committee, supported the appointment of Leon L. Perry, superintendent of schools for abnormal children at Blue Plains. Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, newly appointed member of the board, made a fight for the promotion of a person already in the school system.
While Dr. Bennett's argument was logical and practical, it seemed as if the system that dictates such appointments had already decided to give this plum to Mr. Perry. Therefore the board agreed on Mr. Perry.
DOCTOR KILLED
Philadelphia, Pa. — Dr. Charles Robinson, of this city, was killed while changing tires on his auto on White House pike, by a passing machine. Although the driver did not stop, the police later arrested him.

Harvey V. Speelman, Register of the Treasury, is very much riled because of the hostile attitude of colored people toward his conduct of that office and hopes to vent his spleen on the helpless chief of the notorious jim crow section.
According to reliable reports coming from that office, the Register personally carried the information to the remaining colored clerks that jobs had been obtained for the forty-eight clerks who were to have been dismissed on July 1.
While these colored clerks were given re-employment at the instance of the White House after charges of discrimination had been filed there, it is reported that Speelman told them that he had been successful in having them placed "despite the many lies." He then, it is alleged, turned to Dr. Alphonzo J. Harris, who presides over this section, and said to him, "Yes, and you are responsible for these lies and I'll get even with you yet."
It is known that Speelman has been very much irritated ever since the publication of the first story concerning segregation and discrimination in the office of the Register of the Treasury. He told reporters that the Democrats had inaugurated segregation.

Summer vacation schools opened Monday, July 7th at eleven schools in the 10-13 divisions. According to a report made by Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, every school was crowded on the first day, which forced a waiting list at each school. Cardoza's waiting list totaled twenty-four and Magruda sixty ;these two were the highest. Preference in the registration at these schools were given students who had failed in the regular school work and desire to make up such differences in the summer schools.
WORKERS' PARTY INVITES RACE
The Workers' Party of America with headquarters at the Labor Lyceum, 1337 Seventh Street, Northwest has issued an invitation to all colored people of the District to attend their meetings. The Workers meet the fourth Friday of each month. The Workers' Party is connected with the Communists of the World and according to one of their pamphlets, have always taken a consistent stand for the Negro even when it costs them friends to do so. They claim they are willing to fight the Klan alongside their colored brother. The local branch is connected with the American section of the Third International.
INTERDENOMINATIONAL USH
ERS' UNION MAKES SECOND
ANNUAL VISIT TO HOME
FOR AGED AN IN-
FIRMED
The Interdenominational Ushers' Union of the District of Columbia made their Second Annual visit to the Home for Aged and Infirmed at Blue Plains on the 5th Sunday in June. The Relief and Social Committees working jointly under the leadership of Mrs. Jane O. Smith served the inmates, ice cream, cake and fruit. Pipes and tobacco were distributed to the men. Religious services were conducted by
and erected the beaver board walls which completely shut off the colored employees from the whites, and that he had simply continued things as he found them. He intimated that he was powerless to abolish segregation or tear down the beaver board walls, as he was only carrying out the orders of the Secretary of the Treasury on all matters of policy. He now finds himself concerned. The segregation of colored employees in his office is about to cause his removal from office. Discrimination in the discharge of these employees directed attention to it and gave colored Republican leaders an opportunity to bring the question to the notice of the White House. They charged incompetence and to-day they are referring to his latest outbreak as further evidence of his unfitness for the place which he now fills.
Speelman, on the other hand, intends to put up a fight to retain the place. He is being advised on his plans of defense by Silas Harris, messenger extraordinary to Senator Selden P. Speneer; Ferdinand D. Lee and Mrs. Monen L. Gray; the latter two being favorite elvers in the jim crow section. It is known that they were in conference with Mr. Speelman shortly before he delivered his invective against Dr. Harris.

twists, and dramatic suspense from start to finish, but the author, Will Lambert, has managed to do more than this—there's a genuine quality of human realism in it, spiced with laughter and sprinkled with tears, that gets under the skin! Fans who have seen the previous films made by the Palmer Corporation will probably vote this one the best of all, for it is a quality picture of real entertainment value, and it's a hopeless spectator that will not keep on the edge of his seat and hold his breath through through most of the fast-moving action of "His Forgotten Wife."

it that their time and money are well
| spent.
| In the first place, Negroes in gen-
leral have taken it for granted that
their much talked of “natural talent”
makes it unnecessary for them to
have a thorough knowledge of the
fundamental principles of _ music.
| Friends of the colored musician have
been willing and even anxious to help
him, and in their desire to show their
helpful spirit they have for the most
part ruined him instead, # 38
His friends, both white and colored,
have said much about the “natural
musical talent of the Negro” that he
+ has not only accepted the saying
(which is only partly true) but he has
also used it as an excuse for not
'going through the routine of learn-
ing the funadmental principles.®
Now talent. in musie means little
more than an ordinary understand
ing of rhythm and the ability to ree-
‘ognize the twelve tones of the chro-
matic scale, or the seven tones of any
major scale. Genius may go even
|their progressions, or the knack of
further and recognize chords and
overcoming technical difficulties.
In musie most Negroes have only
talent, for genius means hard work
and severe self criticism. However,
call it.what you will, the person who
/has the “natural ability” may not
"even know one clef from another, may
not know one note from another by
name, may not know one kind of
rhythm from another, or many of the
fundamental principles of music.
| The talented singer may have an
|excellent voice but if she cannot read
| musie she is no good as a teacher and
is always in danger when singing
long works like oratorios, cantatas, or
Joperas. And yet the number of good
Negro singers who scorn the study
of solfeggio, harmony, or ear train-
ing is surprising.
| They spend much money and time
learning new songs, but if Metro-
politan Opera Company were to open
its doors to Negroes our “golden
voiced, naturally talented”” singer
would be examined and found sadly
lacking in things every ordinary mu-
sician should know, and would be
turned down, not from a vocal stand-
point but because of a lack of musi-
cal education,
So much for singers, who after al
jean “get by” for most part with a
good voice and a coach. =
A player, however, has to be more
careful, While a singer may begin
| the study of musie at the age of 25 or
30 and still make good, a player must
forget the “natural talent of the Ne-
gro” and get down to hard work. This
is especially true of instruments with-
out frets. In all cases the instru-
mentalist may learn the chromatic
|scales and from that gradually wade
‘through the ordinary technical diffi-
‘culties of his instrument and play it
| without knowing how to read a note,
|but he is lost in a large orchestra.
Many of our good players have been
|forced to learn the names of the keys
and notes long after they learned
“enough to make them popular as play-
“ers with “natural talent.”
To students of music, this advice is
offered: There are three or four music
schools and many sources of private
musical instruction in Washington. If
|music is to be your vocation, Jearn
it well. Take ear training, solfeggio
and harmony. If you are a beginner
in voice or any instrument you can
save miuch time and money by learn.
‘ing the theory of music during the
first year at least. If you are ad-
vanced, go back to it.
Parents should give their children «
year in ear training and piano befor¢
allowing them to study music along
other lines. Older students who pay
| for their own lessons should see to ii
that they get their money’s worth
Learn the fundamental principles. o:
| music and age will not be much of a
drawback. Your progrss will be twie
as rapid because you will not be
grouping in the dark with only the
|dim candle of talent, but you will
shave the sunlight of qnderstanding
to brighten your musical path.
As a last word it might be wel
|to say that the only way to get your
|money’s worth in music is to learn
jeach lesson so well that you will no
[have to repeat it, The more hours
‘spent in practice the fewer dollars
pe need to spend taking lessons.

THE THREE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND THE
PLATFORMS
There are three presidential candidates with three platforms
before the American voter for consideration in the coming’ No-
vember election. Will it be 1912 over again?
The first nomination was that of President Coolidge to suc-
ceed himself, on the Republican ticket. The platform adopted by
the Cleveland convention is a long, meaningless jumble of words.
The scheming, grafting office holders were whitewashed, the Ku
XJux Klan was patted on the back, and the Negro was told to go
to hell. It demonstrates that the President and his henchmen
are working under direct instructions from Wall Street, with
the laborer, the farmer and the average citizen left out.
The Democratic platform was the next to be adopted at New
York. The Democrats went farther than the Republicans on the
Klan. They carried the fight on it to the floor of the convention
where it was debated. The sentiment was about equally divided
with the Klan winning a Pyrrhic victory by a small margin.
The Democratic nominee, lohn W. Davis is employed as attor-
ney for J. P. Morgan and Company, England’s fiseal agents in
this country, and this certainly does not look good for the best
interests of the United States for the next four years.
It is a notable fact that thousands of Negroes have lost interest
and faith in the Republican party. It is also a fact that thou-
sands of them are going into the Democratic party. When the
staid old New York Age comes out against the Republican party
it is time for all Negroes to sit up and take notice. In a recent
editorial The Age asks some pertinent’ questions, which it says
“are the questions that Negro voters are asking.”
The Age says:
So far as the Negro voters are concerned it is not so much astute man-
agement that is required as square dealing that will inspire confidence and
renew faith in Republican policies. ‘The failure on the part*of the last ad-
ministration, especially in the Congress, to live up to the principles of the
party and to redeem the pledges made in its platform and by its candidates
four years ago, weakened the faith of this class of voters. Unless they have
some guaranty that the basie principles of Republicanism will be lived up
to in the future, they can see no reason for preferring a Republican to a
Democratic administration.
If the pernicious practices introduced into the departments at Washington
under Wilson are permitted to remain, why vote for a Republican adminis-
tration? If the rule of the United States marines is to be continued in
Haiti, despite the pledges of President Harding to restore autonomy to that
subjugated republic, why vote for a Republican administration? If ad-
vancement in the civil service is barred to black men and their appointment
blocked in the same manner as under Southern Democratic bureau chief's
what is the advantage of voting for a change of parties? If a Republican
administration fears to appoint a Negro as minister to Haiti because the
affairs of that country are run by the American Financial Agent, and the
marines, as stated by an influential Republican in Washington, why worry
about the sins of Democracy? These are the questions that Negro voters
are asking.
The third platform to be adopted was that of an independent
group of voters, who endorsed Robert M. La Follette for president
With both of the nominees of the two old parties, dictated by Wall
Street, and both being of the reactionary type, La Follette will
prove a formidable contender in the coming campaign and elec-
tion. His platform is more considerate of the welfare of the
United States and the common people. After this year’s expe-
rience in.conventions the plank on direct presidential nomination
and election by the voters should prove a very popular one. Many
Negroes, disgusted with the Republican party and not able to sup-
port the Democratic party will turn to La Follette this year to
register their protest vote. Colored people are great on protest-
ing and the La Follette ticket will offer them an excellent oppor-
tunity to swat the Republican party in November. The National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People certainly took
a forward step in endorsing the La Follette ticket at their recent
somal meeting in Philadelphia. Will other organizations fall in
‘ine?

This is one of the wide-awake choir
groups in Northeast Washington and
their work is promising and deserving
of much encouragement which-they
certainly are receiving. With a few
more male voices augmented by some
alto voices there is no telling what
success they may achieve in the course
of time. This choir hires a trained
musician to coach and drill them and
many other choirs should da, likewise
and get out of the “rut,” so to speak.
A choir ean never rise any higher
than their leader, whether efficient or
inefficient and the same may be said
of the organist also.
Robert A. Blackwell Presents Pupils
A musical recital by Robert A.
Blackwell, baritone and his pupils in
piano assisted by the Choral Club of
Metropolitan Baptist Church and
‘Simpson M. E. Church Choir was
‘given at Metropolitan Baptist Church
‘Monday evening, July 7th, 1924.
The pupils acquitted themselves
fairly well in renditions, the Choral
Club and Choir presented interesting
‘selections including “Listen to the
Lambs” by Dett, and Mr. Blackwell
‘sang several good numbers that
‘pleased the audience.
| One of the bright features of the
‘Program was the piano selection ren-
dered by little Miss Lucille Or, nine
\years old, who played with the re-
serve of’a more matured performer
na with a musicianly feeling and
touch, bringing out the high lights of
|her composition with ease. Surely
this child is a marvel and she shows a
musical intuitiveness uncommon for
one of her years. The writer cannot
recall during his residence in Wash-
ington hearing a more promising
product of the race than little Lucille
Or and she is destined to improve her
talent with the years and make a high
‘mark if her study is developed along
the right lines. Not long since in this
column we were decrying the fact
‘that so few colored children measured
up to a competent program standard
| as do children of the other races many
of them who stand out in their youth
as “young masters” in recital, For
instance, we cite Shura Cherkas-
sky, eleven-year-old prodigy of whom
an eminent pedagogue in music said:
“In ratio, he is equal to any-of the
great artists.” Right here in our own
city Mme. von Unschuld’s fifteen-year-
old daughter plays master programs
with ease and has a music degree al-
ready. Cherakassky plays such com-
Positions as Weber's “Invitation to
“Scherzo in E Minor,” Grieg’s “March
of the Gnomes” which is full of tricky
contrasts and conflicting themes,
Bach’s “Bouree in G Minor” and works
of Chopin, Brahm, Rachmaninoff,
rauss-Schutt and the very modern
music of Scriabine with remarkable
dexterity. We have in New York City
|two or more youthful prodigies and
several more scattered throughout
the country who are making good
but we want more of them.
Let's encourage the children and
help them study music as a major

WiLL GIVE You HEALTH
. Washington, D.C.
To the Public:
I am writing this letter so that
the Public may read my testimony
and know how wonderfully chiroprac-
tie treatments have helped me. I
suffered with indigestion and ner-
vousness for years, was under weight,
and the thoughts of food made me
sick. This kept up until I had a
general breakdown. I consulted many
Doctors without any relief apd it
seemed as if it was impossible for me
to live any longer. I was about to
give up all hopes of recovery when I
came across Dr. Geo. A. Cartter
whose treatments gave me relief and
I must say I am now a well man and
I thank God for giving this man this
wonderful power to help humanity.
So frienfls don’t wait if you are ill,
see Dr. Geo. A. Cartter at 2001 9th
Street, N.W.
Yours for health,

‘The struggle began in earnest. The
expense incurred by moving, rent,
power, electric lights, telephone, in-
ereased weekly pay roll, and other
items of maintenance must be met.
And, most important of all, new cus-
‘tomers and largely increased business
must be secured and must be held.
_ Although the field was gomparative-
ly crowded, they soon got a foothald
and steadily have climbed.
Shortly after the removal of the
plant to Washington, the increased
volume of business demanded the
services of a clerk and bookkeeper at
which time Miss Kathleen Murray
(the sister) was taken into the firm,
she taking charge of that department
of the busingss. To her efficieney and
adaptability,’ the firm owes a goodly
part of its subsequent. success.
April 10th, 1911, the firm was in-
corporated under the laws of the

NW., growing from year to year,
making necessary one enlargement
after another until the plant oceupied
the premises 1731, 1733, and 1735 7th
‘Street.
In 1920, when the business had
outgrown these quarters the dream of
their lives was realized—the erection
of their own building. Mr. Isiah T.
Hatton, (deceased), the race's great-
est young architect was employed to
design and construct what is now the
Murray Brothers Building at 918-920-
922 U Street, Northwest—a strictly
modern fire-proof building with every
possible facility for the execution of
work and the comfort of the em-
ployees.
The manager of Murray Brothers
im referring to this achievement re-
smarked:
“Such steps forward can only be
made through the medium of years of
‘business building with honesty. of
purpose, together with the loyalty of
employees and the help of business
friends.

JOHN WESLEY CHURCH GIVES NEW PASTOR WARM WELCOME
Justice Tempered with too much Mercy becomes Injustice.
Dr. H.T.Medford Is Well Fitted For New Charge
Dr. H. T. Medford of Knoxville Tenn., the new Pastor of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets, Northwest, this city was greeted by an unusually large audience at his first service last Sunday. He delivered strong, striking and rousing sermons and captivated his audiences by direct attack, compelling oratory and striking personality, and fine illustrations. "Consecrated service" was the theme at the morning worship, and "Associated
DR. H. T. MEDFORD
Workers" was the subject of the evening service. Three persons were received for membership. Hundreds of members and other citizens gave Dr. Medford a welcome handshake.
Rev. O. L. Rand and other ministers assisted him with the services. Bishop E. W. D. Jones of the diocese of South Carolina A. M. E. Zion Church was present at the evening service. He having known Dr. Medford personally for a number of years was loud in the work of the Minister as a preacher, pastor, organizer and race leader in other cities where he has pastured.
Rev. Medford comes to the John Wesley Church as the successor of Dr. W. O. Carrington, who was elected editor of the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review at the recent session of the denomination's General Conference at Indianapolis, Ind., and has been transferred to New Rochelle, N. Y. The new minister comes to John Wesley from the Pastorate of the Logan Temple A. M. E. Zion Church, Knoxville, Tenn., one of the foremost and historic churches of the connection.
He is an Alumnus of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. He has held passates in Salisbury, Charlotte, N. C.; Louisville, Ky., and Knoxville, Tenn. In the recent Tennessee appointment nearly five hundred members were added to the church during his sojourn there, and all records were broken in the matters of finance. He is a public spirited race advocate, and has been a vanguard man in the contest for race recognition and educational uplift in every locality in which he has served.
The officers of the Knoxville Church and the Inter-denominational ministers alliance of that city have forwarded strong letters of endorsement and praise of Dr. Medford's ability

Dr. Cannon Advocates Negroes In Congress at Republican Meeting at Atlantic City
Atlantic City, N. J., July 10, (P. N. S.)—Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, formally opening the National Republican Colored conference in St. Augustine church here Thursday, recommended an aggressive campaign to obtain colored members for both state legislatures and Congress. Dr. Cannon is president of the conference and was a delegate at large from New Jersey to the National Republican Convention at Cleveland.
U. S. Senator George Moses, chairman of the Republican Senatorial campaign committee, came in for a large share of censure at the hands of Dr. Cannon during the course of his speech. He said that Senator Moses had failed to answer letters asking for a conference touching on the colored organization's plans. "Judging by past performances," declared Dr. Cannon, "the Senate as a body is not too friendly disposed toward our enjoying the full rights of American citizens." The speaker stated that the attitude of Republican leaders at the Cleveland convention had been friendly as evidenced in the action toward a more just equalization of representation.

not taking any position as to that. "You will be interested to know that Reverend Robinson, within five days after the fire, had sand, gravel and a concrete machine on the ground, and that he is digging his foundation now to rebuild. It is the intention of this Corporation to start building a few houses within a short time. "We are saying that some four hundred lots have been sold to colored people, and two blocks of lots aggregating around seven acres have been deeded in fee simple to the General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia, on which they expect to erect a theological seminary for the training of colored ministers and Christian workers.
"Already President Jernagin and his associates of the Executive Committee and the Board of Education are being encouraged by such men as Secretary of Labor Davis and others to immediately raise a fund of not less than $100,000,000 to begin the erection of the first seminary building. As you know, ten per cent of
and worth as a minister and leader in that city to the officers of John Wesley Church and the Ministers Union here. He will fill the Pulpit at John Wesley next Sunday morning and night and leave on a late train Sunday night to bring his family to Washingto mnext week. The home of the late Bishop J. W. Smith, 1309 R Street, Northwest, has been secured by the John Wesley Church officials for the Minister's home, until suitable manse property can be found and purchased.

the collections to the Corporation also go into this Building Fund.Forty-five lots have been deeded to purchasers and deeds for others are in preparation.
"It is not the intention of this Corporation to cease operations and activities for a moment. Douglass Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the entire Country. It adjoins another subdivisions where about twelve hundred colored people live.
"The white opposition so far has been very small, and we really don't believe it will amount to anything. It is very gratifying to know that the colored people are going right ahead and standing square by the proposition. Some, who have been behind in their payments heretofore, having heard of this have come in and started paying again and expressed a determination to aid us in making this movement a huge success. Others, who have not had a desire to buy before, are expressing a desire to buy and they are determined to join in the movement and bring success.
"We are going right ahead protecting our purchasers, fully realizing that the colored people all over the Country appreciate a good place to live and transact business."
"Your attention is particularly called to the fact that the Senate Committee approved the bill for the erection of a $15,000,000 bridge, a long account of which was given in the Washington Star recently. This will greatly enhance the value of the property in Arlington County and any investment made in Douglass Park will certainly increase many fold in value within the immediate future. Nobody can lose money in any property purchased in Douglass Park or Arlington County. It is a good investment even if you don't expect to live there.
"I wish to say further that we welcome any investigation by anyone and would gladly have you come to our office, Room 210, International Building 1319 F Street, Northwest, any time to discuss these matters, for to get further information as to the purity of the stream is to go to its head; so come to see us.
