Voter First in Local Circulation. Vol. 4, No. 10 Gov NEW SALARY SCHEDULES OPPOSED Charwomen Hold Mass Meeting; to Fight for Living Wage Reclassification of Government employees which was put into effect on July 15 last, is causing an uprising against the personnel board, which had this work in charge, and the methods used in classifying the workers. General dissatisfaction exists. Charwomen Protest Charwomen Protest Tuesday night fully 250 charwomen met in the offices of Johnson and Howard at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue northwest in conference with Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia member of the Republican National Committee, and John T. Risher, his aide. The object of this meeting was to formulate plans to fight for a restoration to their former basis of pay. They claim that before reclassification was put into effect, they received from $320 to $480 per year basic pay plus an annual bonus of $120. They were also paid for Sundays and holidays. Under the reclassification they will be paid at the rate of 40 cents an hour, and will only be paid for 3 hours work a day although from 3 to 4 hours are required to do the work they are assigned. Incidentally an opinion by Acting Attorney General Luther R. Ginn came to light, in which it was held that the charwomen are entitled to certain sick and annual leave but not to pay for Sunday and holidays upon which they do not work. "Payment for Sundays or holidays is not authorized unless services be actually performed on said days," said the opinion. "Such employees, if permanently employed, are entitled to leave of absence, annul leave and sick leave with pay, subject insofar as applicable to conditions and regulations prescribed for per annum employees of your department, the amount of pay to be allowed for the period of such absence to be the amount which the employees would have received if not on leave and working the number of hours usually required each work day during the period of absence." Committees Formed In addition to the reduction in their pay, they are required to pay $2 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent of their salary on the retirement fund. The meeting Tuesday night was attended by both white and colored charwomen. They represented several of the departments and notice was given that the other departments would be represented at the next meeting. The departments represented were the Post Office, the City Post Office, the Treasury and the National Museum. In order to intelligently correlate the facts in the several departments in regard to the reduction in salary of the charwomen, committees in each department were appointed. These committees will meet from time to time to prosecute the case to a successful determination. The committees named are as follows: National Museum, Mrs. Laura Langhorne, 504 Nineteenth Street, Northwest; Treasury Department including the Allied Treasury offices, Mrs. Lena M. Ware, 525 Twenty-first street, northwest; Mrs. Mary Porter, 729 Thirteenth street, northeast, and (Continued on page 2) ```markdown ``` Vol. 4, No. 10 The Published Weekly Demand Republicans Run Negro for Congress New York City—A committee of prominent Republican leaders called on Samuel S. Koening, County Chairman of the Republican party, and demanded in recognition of their support a Negro be placed on the Republican Congressional ticket this fall, from the 21st district. This is the district that was formerly represeted by Mr. Ansorage. He was defeated in the last election by a Tammany Hall Democrat. The Republicans have slim hopes of capturing the district, although it is largely populated by Negroes, because of the Tammany Hall strength. Therefore the Colored Republicans argue that if they nominate a Negro, the G. O. P. can recapture the district. No definite agreement has yet been made however, for the procuring of a Negro on the ticket. Big Parties to Seek Race's Support Statisticians of both major parties are agreed that the colored vote will largely determine the outcome of the Presidential election this year. It may continue the Republican party in power or return the Democrats, or throw the election into the House of Representatives. Balance of Power They base their calculations upon an analysis of the voting strength of the Negro in the states they classify as doubtful. In them the number of qualified voters are about equally divided between the two old parties; but the colored vote is sufficiently large to swing any of these states into either the Republican or Democratic column. The East is conceded to the Republicans, the "solid South" to the Democrats, and a majority of the western is divided between Coolidge and La Follette. New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri are classified as extremely doubtful. With three tickets in the field, the electoral votes necessary to give either the Republican or Democratic candidate a majority at the polls in November must be obtained in these extremely doubtful states. If not the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives with the possibility of the La Follette bloc in that body preventing a choice, in which event the Senate would elect a Vice-President. A coalition of the La Follette forces with the Democrats would probably result in the election of Senator Burton K. Wheleer, La Follette's running mate. In these doubtful states the colored vote constitutes the balance of power. Consequently, both major parties and the La Follette progressives as well—plan an intensive campaign among the colored voters. Difficult Task Ordinarily this colored vote is Republican. But since the return of the Republican party to power, there has been a decided tendency to ignore party lines. Hence, the job of the Republican campaign management will be to keep this vote in alignment. But this will be a difficult task with a nominee like John W. Davis in the field, the Republican party will have to work assiduously to prevent defection in the ranks of its colored vote. The fact that Mr. Davis when he was (Continued on page 8) Difficult Task WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1924 THE WOMEN'S SCHOOL Seeks to Hang Alleged Purcell Murderers The prosecution has carefully welded its chain of circumstantial evidence, upon which it hopes to secure a verdict of first degree murder against Ernest A. Brown, William Ludley, Lloyd Monroe* and Joseph P. Slaughter for the alleged killing of Policeman John W. Purcell last October. Establishes Theory The evidence tends to establish one of two theories in regard to the homicide, which Assistant United States Attorney James J. O'Leary outlined in his opening statement to the jury. The first is that the defendants deliberately with premeditated malice, killed the deceased. The second is that the defendants killed the deceased while attempting to commit a felony. The first witness called was Mrs. Mary E. Purcell, widow of Policeman Purcell. Her first testimony was merely formal. She was later recalled, however, and testified as to the dying declaratons of her husband. William W. Estes, who with Dr. Herbert Martyn performed an autopsy upon the body of Officer Purcell, identified a bullet as the one taken from the body of Officer Purcell. The Government will attempt to prove by expert testimony that this bullet is the missing one from the revolver of one of the defendants. The establishment of the second theory of the prosecution began when Elzie Jones of 425 First Street Southwest, was called to the stand. He testified he knew a Jack Monroe. He then pointed out Lloyd Monroe, one of the defendants, as the Jack Monroe with whom he was acquainted. He then told the jury that two or three weeks prior to the date of the homicide, Monroe had come to his house and asked him if he had any gin. He said that he told him that he was not selling any more gin; that he was playing the races. He also testified that about Tuesday, October 6, he was at the Laurel race track, played "High Speed" and won eighteen hundred and some odd dollars, and that this was generally known among the sporting fraternity. The prosecution is seeking to prove that the defendants thought Jones would invest his money in whiskey, planned and were in the act of breaking into his garage for the purpose of stealing it when they were surprised by the officers and as a result killed Policeman Purcell. (Continued on page 2) RIGHT OF NEGRO TO PRACTICE LAW AND SERVE ON JURY IS DEMAND OF DELAWARE VOTERS Dover, Del.—Incensed because the party they have been instrumental in keeping in power for over twenty-five years, has never in this period of time seen fit to give them the slightest recognitioin, a conference of Negro voters of the state, declared here Tuesday that henceforth, they will support the Republican Party only to the extent that it shall support them and grant them their requests. Among the requests made upon the Republican leaders, before they will support the ticket this year is, a Negro on the state ticket; permission of Negro lawyers to practice in the state, and, the right of Negroes to serve on juries. The meeting Tuesday was spirited and many of the speakers bitterly denounced the Republican leaders, United States Senator Ball, of the state, also came in for denunciation. One of the prominent members of the resolution committee said, "That it is very likely that if nominated for re-election, Senator Ball will be given the cold shoulder by the Negro voters this fall, unless he changes his attitude to the Negro Race." The Conference met in the office of Dr. William M. Henry. A state organization of Negro voters named the Independent Citizens League of Delaware was formed with the following officers: Dr. Samuel B. Elbert, State chairman; George L. Waters, of Sussex County, vice-chairman; J. B. Aiken, Kent county, secretary. Dr. Elbert in accepting the chairmanship discussed briefly the issues before the voters: In part he said: "We are here to confer and meet on a common ground and to organize ourselves into a state organization to conserve the best interests of our Race politically and industrially. We must co-operate to help our own Race and concentrate on a line of action that will have that end in mind. Heretofore we have placed men in office who failed to recognize us after election. This must stop and the time has come when we must vote for men, regardless of party, whom we know to be our friends. The interests of our Race must be paramount and in effecting this state organization let us rally our forces in such a way that will work to the good of our Race." A committee on resolutions, of which Robert J. Nelson was made chairman, presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: "For more than 50 years the colored voters of Delaware have consistently supported the Republican party. Through our loyalty and fidelity to it in city and state, we have materially aided it in electing its candidates. From it we have been given scant recognition. When we consider that none of the Republicans who now hold office at the State House would be thus honored were it not for the colored voters, we cannot but feel a sense of regret for the party that rides into office, and only recognizes the element that is responsible for its success by giving this element a janitorship. "The time has come for the Negro in Delaware to assert himself politically and we hereby request the Republican party to recognize the fact that we are no longer satisfied with its attitude toward us, and we go on record in requesting the party to recognize our claims to hold office in the state, and we request of the Republican party that a colored man shall be named for one of the state offices at the coming state conventoin. "We recite the fact that in each of the three counties of the state, colored men are not allowed to serve on the jury, that when we have business in the courts we are segregated. This notwithstanding the judges of the courts are largely Republicans. We condemn this practice and call on the party which we have so generously supported in the past to correct these conditions. "Notwithstanding the Republican party has been in continuous control of the state government for the past twenty-five yaers no colored man has been permitted to practice law in any of the courts of Delaware, a state that has the unenviable distinction being the only state in the union that debars colored men from practicing law. This must be corrected and we call on the Republican party to take the necessary steps to correct this reprehensible practice. "We point with pride to the independent attitude assumed by the members of the Race two years ago, when, with remarkable Race feeling, we defeated the Republican candidate for Congress in Delaware, after warning the Republican party, that we would thus act if our wishes were not respected. Delaware Negroes set the pace for the Negroes of the country in political independence. Today in convention assembled we make certain charges against, and specific requests of the Republican party. Our allegiance to it in the future is dependent on its attitude with respect to the granting of our requests. We shall support the Republican party only to the extent that it shall support us and grant our requests."

Price 5 Cents GUARDS BEAT INSANE MAN TO DEATH Wanted to Cut His Hair only Explanation they can give One of the most brutal murders in the history of Washington was committed at the St. Elizabeth Hospitals for the Insane, last Thursday, July 17th, when William Green, an inmate, was beaten to death by attendants because he objected to them cutting his hair. According to testimony brought out at the coroner's inquest, last Saturday, two of the guards decided that Greens' hair should be cut. When they told Green they wanted to cut his hair, he objected. It was brought out that Green had always worn his hair long and he desired to continue wearing it that way. However the attendants were insistent that he have it cut. Realizing the attendants were planning to have his hair cut, regardless of his desire, Green appealed to the assistant doctor and asked for protection. Evidently incensed because Green had appealed to the assistant, the attendants are alleged to have concocted a plan to cut his hair, if necessary, by force. The assistant doctor did not report Green's appeal for protection to the proper person (Dr. Lynn) but attempted to issue some kind of indefinite orders. The attendants claim he said it was all right for them to cut Green's hair. The Doctor, after Green's death claimed he did not mean for the man's hair to be cut. Nevertheless, the attendants seized Green and carried him to the barber shop. Upon learning that the regular barber was out, they with the aid of two other men, attempted to forcefully cut his hair. In this attempt, Green objected and after verbal objections failed, tried to defend, what he believed to be his rights, with force. In the right which followed, the four white attendants, beat Green into unconsciousness and then took a pair of number one clippers and cut his hair. Realizing that Green's condition might prove serious, they rushed him to the hospital, but the man died shortly afterwards. The explanation given the Coroner evidently did not satisfy him, and he ordered an inquest. The result of the inquest was the holding of the two attendants on a charge of homicide. The hospital authorities stated that there was no reason for these attendants to force Green to have his hair cut. The attendants were immediately suspended and according to Dr. Lynn of the hospital, their usual procedure of dismissal and prosecution will result. William Green was born in Virginia, was about thirty years of age and was married. He was first sent to St. Elizabeth about two years ago, but was released. After a few months' freedom, he was recommitted to the hospital. His wife is Mrs. Bessie Green. The Coroners' Jury, after hearing the evidence, gave a verdict of homicide. The Deputy Coroner, after examination found that he died from contusion in the abdomen, ruptured pancreas and shock from violent assault. The body was claimed by Green's wife and was turned over to Thos.

Crawford, who was badly wounded in the fight with the gunmen, testified that as he and Policeman Purcell entered the alley near the corner of the Bell schoolhouse, three men were standing behind trees and each of them had a gun in his hand. One of the men opened fire immediately upon Officer Purcell, he said. He reached for his gun, he testified, but before he got it he had been shot from a gun from one of these three men. Officer Purcell fell mortally wounded. He positively identified Lloyd Monroe as one of the men who shot. He testified that he had a pistol in his hand and saw him shoot. "And you saw him shoot?" asked O'Leary. "Yes, sir," replied the policeman. "At Purcell?" he was asked. "At Purcell, yes, sir." he answered. "Was that before Purcell shot?" "Yes, sir." "Is there any question in your mind as to the identity of that man?" O'Leary asked. "No, sir. I can never forget his face." was the reply. Lieutenant William E. Homes of the Metropolitan Police testified that when he got Purcell into the hospital, Purcell told him that he did not know his assailants, but there were two colored men and one man very light, might have been a white man, he was not sure. Monroe is very fair in complexion. Dying Declaration The prosecution recalled Mrs. Purcell. She testified that just before he died, her husband said, "I am going to leave you dear." And I asked him how. And he says, 'I am dying.' He says, 'My dear, I am shot to pieces.' He says, 'I saw nothing but fire before my face and all shot at me and Slaughter ran.'" The brilliant array of defense lawyers argued against the admission of damaging testimony, particularly statements that the-defendants are alleged to have made to police officers after their arrest. Justice McCoy overruled their objections. Assistant United States Attorney O'Leary then began to get into the evidence the statements of the defendants themselves. Detective Sergeant Charles Mullen told the jury that William Ludley told him at No. 4 station that he had driven Brown, Monroe, Slaughter, and his brother, George, in his automobile down near the scene of the homicide. They got out of the car; he waited on the lot. Mullen testified that Ludley also told him that the other defendants went up the alley and apparently they got scared, because they came back on one occasion, and then they went again, and at this time they had not been in the alley very long before he heard of a lot of shooting. He told the jury that Ludley said Monroe suggested knocking off the garage and that it was planned at his home, 1112 Q Street, Northwest. The gun from which the fatal bullet is said to have been fired was introduced into the trial late Wednesday afternoon. Detective Sergeant Jackson told of finding the weapon hidden at the Home of William Ludley. It is said to be the property of Ernest A. Brown, who told the detective where to find it. Jackson also testified that the 10-shell magazine heid but nine bullets. The missing bullet, the prosecution will attempt to prove, is the one found in the body of Officer Purcell. The one weak link in the chain of circumstantial evidence which the prosecution has forged is the lack of evidence to show that the defendants were engaged in the commission of a felony. tendance at the funeral. Mr. Dangerfield was a blacksmith and farmer. He lived and died in the community near where he was born, a beloved and respected citizen.

Pathetic Mr. Johnson, who led in the successful fight for the re-employment of the colored clerks who were to be dismissed from the office of the Register of the Treasury last July 1, is understood to have decided to lead in this fight for the restoration of these charwomen to their former basis of pay. The meeting was described by Mr. Risher as pathetic. In many instances, the meager salary received from the Government by these charwomen who toil after hours and in the early morning in the departments, is their sole source of sustenance. In their case re-classification has worked an undue hardship. 11th and U Sts., N.W. LET US S A Full Line of Teaching Material f Sacred, Secular and Popular Music. We carry a full line of C. G.

The attacks made me sleepless, could scarcely breathe, and was sneezing continually. I was treated by several of the best physicians in the city without relief. I was advised to try Dr. Mary E. Logan, Chiropractor, 1623 11th Street, Northwest. I visited her office, took three treatments with the results that I am entirely cured of the old trouble and feel so free from sneezing that it all seems like a dream. I am delighted to recommend her to anyone suffering from this disease. People's Congregational Chureh ALBERT STRONG.

The ‘three leaders—LeDroit Tigers, Teddy Bears and St. Cyprians—each won a game Sunday. The Tigers played two games with the Buffaloes winning one and tieing the other. The first game was protested by Manager Har- rison of the Buffaloes because of the presence of George “Lefty” Smith in ‘the Tigers’ line-up. It was claimed that Smith had not paid a fine recent- ly placed on him. Acting-president Jones will decide on Monday night if the game is to count. The Teddy Bears set-up a scoring record for the League by counting thirty times against the Giants. ‘The pitching of Lefty Smith who went 16 innings against the Buffaloes was the feature of these games. Cap- tain Kenner of the Tigers suffered his second spike wound in two weeks. ‘The league officials are arranging an excursion down the river. Another diamond has been added te the league’s quota. The Brightwood diamond, property of Mr. Nickens will be used by the Buffaloes in the fu- tare while the diamond at 18th and Gales Streets, Northeast, will be the home grounds of Leroy Barbour’s Deanwood team. ST. CYPRIANS CONTINUE TO WIN The Deanwood and St. Cyprian! teams crossed bats Sunday and the former went down to defeat by the score of 10 to 7. Dorsey Campbell, Greenfield and Logan were the heavy hitters of the game of the Saints, while Craig, Davis and ‘Thompson, who got a homer with one on base, were in the batting light for Dean- wood. The Saints have averaged 17 hits for the last six games. 3t.Cyprians abr hDesnwood ab rh Dorsey,rf ..5 3 4 0.BarbourJt 5 0 1 DGreen.2h 5 1 2Braddicas 1.0 1 Breenfielde 5 2 3\..Barboure 5 0 0.

LINCOLNS BREAK LOSING STREAK WITH PAIR - OF WINS Hitting the ball hard, the Lincoln Giants defeated the Royal Giants of Brooklyn in both ends of their double header before a big crowd at the Cath- olic Protectory Oval yesterday after- noon. The Lincoln Giants won the first game after a hard battle by a score of 4 to 5, and the second game by 11 to 8 The second game was a_heavy- hitting affair. Joe Williams, once star pitcher of the Lincoln Giants, started against his former team-mates, but he was batted out of the box in four innings. Hubbard, who replaced him, fared no better.

The first swimming meet of the season between the “Y” and Howard pool was staged Tuesday July 15, at Howard Pool. ‘The participants displayed great swimming ability in each event. Baker of Howard pool stroked away im the 220 and set the fellows to wan- dering; Barry of Cincinnati came sec- ond and Nelson of Howard third. It ‘was an event that any person would admire. Milan Bland of the “Y” with all of the form of a fish led the way in the 25 yard junior with Burke of Howard second and Brooks of the “Y” third. . Wainwright of the “y” showed form in the fancy diving. ‘The Polo team was good. Howard a ‘greater speed and out-classe ots. Tiger” Flowers and Harry Greb Matched “Tiger” Flowers, the sensational colored middleweight,. and Harry Greb, middleweight champion, have been matched to box a ten-round no- decision bout at Fremont, Ohio on August 14. The two fighters have al- ready signed articles and will start their public training programs on August 4. A special arena has been built to seat 25,000 spectators. Flowers’ record speaks for itself. He has never lost a decision although often forced to fight men many Pig .

Flowers is also reputed to be a deacon in a chureh. He is highly thought of in Adanta, Georgia, his home city. Whenever he is on’ a fight card a packed house is assured: Columns of space on the “Tiger's” activities are given in the white dailies of ‘Atlanta, He is an investor in real estate which assures a comfortable living in his old age. Tex Rickard plans to match ‘Flow ers against either Tunney, Grebs, McTigue, Carpentier or Larry Es- tridge. James J.

Twenty-nine safe and solid binglse were rung up during the me- lee, the Hilldale hopefuls snaring 18 blows while the seashore gang bagged 11. Four doubles, two triples, and two homers, by Judy Johnson and Ambrose Reid enlivened the occasion ‘till it was voted a large day by the 3000 fans and some odd fans that thronged the Darby ball lot, Judy's circuit swat came in the fourth fram¢ and sailed high over the eenter-field barrier, with the sacks empty. Reid’s four-ply wallop was somewhat tainted when Thomas fell down in an effort to field his drive. Phil Cockrell, the slippery slant ar- tist was perched on the peak for the Boldenites, but evidently the moist ball flinger had an off day, or the visitors had a day on, for Phil didn’t linger around the scene long enough to enjoy the scenery. ‘The visitors lit on Cockrell hard in the opening ses- sion and counted four tallies. After Shively and Ramirez singled in rapid succession in the second inning, Cockrell was given the hook and Rube Currie proved to be the right man for the apparently unequal task, his curving held the invaders in. check, while his big bat played an important part in piling up the commanding number of runs “ the e no amassed by — Bacharachs .410 030. 010— 9 11 1 Hilldale ...200 160. 40x13 18 ¥ Lockhart, Stark and Gatewood; Cockrell, Currie and Santop. % TO PLAY FOR PYTHIAN FIELD DAY The LeDroit Tigers and Teddy Bears will clash at the* American, League park on August-2, the day of the big Knights of Pythians’ field day.

After winning 12 out of the 14 games played, the Baltimore team fell down on the eru- cial game that would have landed them in first place, Winters pitched Bolden’s crew to a 7 to 4 win over thegrunners-up at Hill- dale Park.

Inee in his most recent production "Those Who Dance," a First National release, which comes to the Lincoln on Sunday. With an exceptionally strong east including Blanche Sweet, the "Anna Christie" of the recent triumphant screen production of that name; Bessie Love and Warner Baxter, the producer has turned to an entirely new field for his latest drama. Without touching on the moral side of the question, he has told the story of liquor, weaving upon a theme of nationwide interest, in fact worldwide interest, one of the most gripping dramas of the season. HOWARD BILL SCORES AGAIN By Jay Bee The second weeks' offering at Old Howard comprised a diversified line-up of six acts. Needless to say, there was another one of those tense cinema productions that was brimful of action throughout. There was an unusually large Monday night audience present. Kenneth and Kenneth, or more familiarly speaking, Bart and Mrs. Kenneth, magnicians extraordinary, in a special drop of purple and gold did a number of clever illusions that were indeed perplexing. They did their best work with the assistance of a boy selected from the audience. Long, lean Slim Jones and his heavyweight female partner, did an exceptionally nice turn, with here and there wonderful possibilities for improvement. The blues number was a riot. Wilson and Wilson, two white girls, fair singers and dancers, monopolized quite a bit of our good time in an effort to do something snappy. They were fairly well received. Gallie De Gaston and Yuen, a real nut and a long tall brown opened with a snappy line of clean comedy that was pleasing. Gallie's ballad number was well done, but the novelty Charleston number of his fleet-footed partner, made up for any shortcoming if there were any. Easton and Stewart, held over by popular acclamation, opened with a line of bunk that indicated that they were well acquainted with our judges and our court methods. They closed their offering with a red hot musical number that nearly cause da riot. Doyle and Willie, a gent in burnt cork, but a clever gymnast and an attractively gowned young woman, seated at the piano rendering everything from jazz to grand opera, closed the evening performance. N.B.—This writer is of the opinion that nowadays, there is entirely too much reference made to complexion. For instance, dialogues, which include such expressions as "black man", "black woman", "yaller man" and "yaller woman" should be so revised so as not to cause chagrin. However, during the length of the show, the comedy was clean and wholesome. "WANDERING HUSBANDS" AT THE REPUBLIC Has a woman the right to spy on her husband? Is it ethical for her to hire a detective to watch him if she thinks he is wandering? Or should she disdain to do such things, deeming it unworthy of her love? This is the problem in "Wandeing Husbands" the feature picture to be shown at the Republic on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 27, 28, 29 and 30. The husband has been philandering, but for the sake of his child, he promises to reform, and is forgiven. In spite of this, his wife knows he isn't keeping his promise. How she works out her problem makes one of the best stories of married life of today. A special prologue will be staged by Eleanor Wilson, for "Wandering Husbands." Johnny Hines, supported by Doris May and Ruth Renick, will be seen in "Conductor 1492." It is a comedy-drama of the adventures of a street-car conductor. Thrills and a fire scene are prominent in the picture. Vaudeville and short film subjects complete the bill. "Conductor 1492" will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 31 and August 1 and 2. Philadelphia, Pa., July 21, 1924—On last Monday, Magistrate O'Connor of Philadelphia, had before him Lawyer W. Austin Norris and John W. Parks upon the charge of attempting to injure the Citizens and Southern Banking Co., of this city. After examination of the various witnesses in the matter, the case against Lawyer Norris was dismissed as not enough evidence was shown that he was connected with the plot to-destroy this banking institution. But the other lawyer, John W. Parks, was held in $800 bond to appear before the court for the part which he took in attempting to hurt the reputation of this bank, for which already one man has been sentenced to prison for a term of one year. O-U-C-H ZIP Z-W-A-M A Circulation that is MaintainedbyPopularity THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE has never had a circulation campaign giving prizes as inducements for subscribers. But by giving the Washington public CONSTRUCTIVE NEWS week in and week out, has maintained undisputed leadership in local circulation. THE TRIBUNE HAS NO STALE READERS An outstanding feature of The Tribune's leadership is the fact that 90 per cent of its readers buy their papers by the week or month. This unusual fact alone testifies to the sterling qualities of The Tribune as these readers must be attracted each week by the sheer interest of this paper's news and features. NEWS POLICY RECEIVES GREAT CARE The fact that The Tribune is quoted more widely by the leading Metropolitan dailies than any other race journal, not only speaks well for the quality and forcefulness of these articles, but it shows the time, care and thought that is given to the news policy of this great weekly.

INDIANAPOLIS AUTO CLASSIC HOLDS CENTER OF INTEREST Indianapolis, Ind., July 25—Coming forward with the velocity of a cyclone, the big 100-mile auto racing classic, to be held here at the State Fair grounds Saturday, August 2, in connection with the Emancipation Day celebration, is holding the center of interest, especially in so far as the YES...I GOTCHA BOUT TWO FEET OUT OLD BOY!

Indianapolis will be the second city in the United States to ever attempt auto racing on a large scale. Two years ago the first attempt was made at Savannah Ga., and the promoters met with huge success. GOURDIN WINS BROAD-JUMP BEFORE LONDON THRONG BEFORE LONDON THRONG Ned Gourdin, former Harvard track star, was the lone representative of the Race at the little olympic meet staged in London last Saturday between the olympic athletes of the United States and Great Britian, but like the star he is, Ned came through giving America one of its eleven first places. Gourdin won the broad-jump with a leap of 23 feet, $9\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Harold Abrahams, the English crack was 7 inches between. Over 50,000 looked on while Gourdin flew through the ozone. JACK JOHNSON STILL ABLE TO GET IN PAPERS Press reports state that Jack Johnson is still anxious to re-enter the ring. Jack is now in Chicago where he is daily putting on exhibitions. He says he is ready to challenge the winner of the Wills-Firpo match. The former champ maintains that he can whip any man in the world. While many believe that Jack can stay with any man for five or six rounds, few will concede him a victory. Youth would wear him down. A great actor and fighter was Jack and a great actor Jack is still. GODFREY LOSES TO TOWNSEND ON FOUL The scheduled 12-round match at the Commonwealth Sporting Club Saturday night between George Godfrey, the crack Philadelphia heavyweight who is being groomed for a fight with Harry Wills and Jack Townsend of Chicago, a former New York high school football player ended in the first round after one minute of fighting with Townsend the 7th and T Sts., N.W. Phone, North 5224 R. H. MURRAY, Mgr. Townsend was sent to the floor in a mix-up and claimed he had been hit low. The referee upheld his protest and disqualified Godfrey. Townsend weighed 193, and Godfrey 216. This was their second meeting. In the previous match, a no-decision affair, Godfrey had the edge with three knock-downs. Townsend substituted for Jack McAuliffe II who was originally scheduled to meet the Philadelphia battler. McAuliffe, however, got cold feet and declined the issue. As no reason has been given and it was surprising that the Boxing let him out prising that the Boxing Commission let him out of the match. ATHLETICS STILL WINNING The Pride of Arlington Athletics, won their fourth and fifth straight victories on Saturday and Sunday defeating the Seminary Black Sox, 9 to 2 on Saturday. Walker pitched for the A's only allowed three hits, while on Sunday the A's had a slugging bee with the Mt. Pleasant A. C. of Washington, D.C. Snow started for the A's but gave way to Robinson in the fifth and he won with the score 12 to 6. Jones led the batting with a home run and Washington with a triple in Suday's game. GEORGETOWN A. C. VICTORIOUS The Georgetown A. C. team defeated the Stonewall's, 13 to 9, by coming from behind in the eighth. Johnson featured the game with two home runs and three singles. Wooden also hit the ball hard. Williams and Dodson and O. Brown contributed stellar catches. ST. CYPRIANS DOWN MARYLAND WHITE SOX LAND WHITE SOX The St. Cyprians traveled to Lakeland Maryland, Saturday afternoon and trimmed the White Sox, 9-5. The game was well played and tied in the eighth by the White Sox, 4-4. The Southeast team came back in the ninth and scored five times. PAGE FIVE Watson LIKELY- BUT IT'S REAL MEDICINE DEAN MOHR IS HAVING A BUSY SUMMER VACATION Director Dean Mohr of Wilberforce is staging a track and field meet for the Y.M.C.A. of Springfield, Ohio. Dean Mohr is supervisor of the Fulton School Playground for the summer. WILBERFORCE LOSES FOOTBALL COACH HARRY JEFFERSON Coach Harry Jefferson, of the 1923 Wilberforce football team will not be back at the Ohio university this fall. Mr. Jefferson is returning to his former position as Director of Athletics at the Kelly Miller High School, Clarksburg, W. Va. Coach Jefferson, a former Ohio State gridiron warrior, proved in his first year as a college mentor that he possessed the goods. His "Force" eleven, woefully outweighed and poorly equipped, gave Howard one of her most stubborn battles last year. The Bisons managed to squeeze out a 6 to 0, victory. Coach Jefferson trotted out nearly two elevens but all managed to hold their own. His decision to leave Wilberforce will be a blow to its alumni. Wilberforce Making Coaches Three Wilberforce athletes are to become coaches this fall. Charles Sedwick, the first three-letter man to graduate from Wilberforce University will become Physical Director at the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Sedwick won his "Varsity" letter in football, basketball and track. William Spriggs, another star athlete of Wilberforce goes to St. Joseph Missouri High School, as Coach and Commercial Teacher. Spriggs won his letters in football, baseball and tennis. Otis Freeman, star track man goes to Springfield Missouri' High School as coach and assistant principal. All three of the young men finished the Coaching course at Wilberforce.

MORRIS MURRAY ..... President WILLIAM O. WALKER ..... Managing Editor J. A. G. LuVALLE ..... City Editor PARTY RESPONSIBILITY strong, courageous, independent national treasoning for the presidency of the United States, and will hear more of "party responsibility will often be made: "One must not be candidates because no party would be a reflection of the independent candidates." The election is possibly all right for the politician, it is dependent upon "the party" for his position, it must be subservient to party dictation. I under the sun why the millions of individuals forcedly and hop on the band wagon of a never have been their choice, if they had to select him? One voted for the Republican party in 1920, as the case may be, should he vote 124, when he finds conditions are different, nor are the candidates the same. I betrayed by the party for which he votes, I currender his freedom of thought and of opinion again this year? If the other productive platform and a stronger candidate for which he voted in 1920, why not vote of the Republicans for "party responsibility"? If they are to be strong for party responsibility, then we would ask: When does party come? After the election? Possibly so. In Douglas versus the fight films, the Republican that equality before the law does not existence excused him and "the party" was no facts of the Attorney General. The Prods saw the fight films at Ed. McLean's home, though it is almost certain that they knew the men transported in violation of the interest. Boy and Daugherty, members of the Republican, were kicked out because of alleged crime the Repuublican party responsible for the crimes of its Cabinet members? If not, then responsibility begin or end? Republican party seek to hide its responsibility and "individual responsibility" rather record of Secretary Fall, Secretary Denbigh, and Colonel Forbes? Whom shall for the prevailing racial segregation in departments, especially, the exasperating work of Secretary Weeks? Precedented betrayal by the Republican Party majority of voters of 1920 is the main cause of bi-partisan, non-partisan, progress the Republicans are to clamor for "party the coming campaign then they must of no responsibility" for the rotten record of the March 4th, 1921. If, neither of the two old parties has given award and honest platform with a candidate be honest enough or strong enough to kill misses, then we are in honor bound to prove and cast our lot with the platform as trust will recognize his responsibility to the him and not the interests who nominated a With a strong, courageous, independent national ticket in the field competing for the presidency of the United States, this fall, we are hearing and will hear more of "party responsibility." This statement will often be made: "One must not vote for the independent candidates because no party would be responsible for the dereliction of the independent candidates." That position is possibly all right for the politician and office seeker, who is dependent upon "the party" for his political existence. He must be subservient to party dictation. But is there any reason under the sun why the millions of individual voters should smile forcedly and hop on the band wagon of a candidate, who would never have been their choice; if they had been given the power to select him? Because one voted for the Republican party in 1920, or the Democratic party, as the case may be, should he vote for that party in 1924, when he finds conditions are different? Issues are not the same, nor are the candidates the same. If he finds that he was betrayed by the party for which he voted in 1920, should he surrender his freedom of thought and of action and vote for that party again this year? If the other party has a more constructive platform and a stronger candidate in 1924 than the party for which he voted in 1920, why not vote for the better? The cry of the Republicans for "party responsibility" does not ring true. If they are to be strong for party responsibility in the coming campaign, then we would ask: When does party responsibility cease? After the election? Possibly so. In the case of Secretary Hughes versus the fight films, the Republicans have demonstrated that equality before the law does not exist. His supposed ignorance excused him and "the party" was not responsible for the acts of the Attorney General. The President and other officials saw the fight films at Ed. McLean's home in Washington, although it is almost certain that they knew that the pictures had been transported in violation of the interstate transportation act. Fall, Denby and Daugherty, members of the Republican President's cabinet, were kicked out because of alleged criminal practices. Is the Repuphican party responsible for the public and official actions of its Cabinet members? If not, then where does party responsibility begin or end? Will the Republican party seek to hide its responsibility behind a dead President and "individual responsibility" rather than face the rotten record of Secretary Fall, Secretary Denby, Attorney General Daugherty, and Colonel Forbes? Whom shall we hold responsible for the prevailing racial segregation in the governmental departments, especially, the exasperating work of Sheril and Secretary Weeks? The unprecedented betrayal by the Republican Party of its 7,000,000 majority of voters of 1920 is the main cause of an independent ticket of bi-partisan, non-partisan, progressive candidates. If the Republicans are to clamor for "party responsibility" in the coming campaign then they must of necessity accept "party responsibility" for the rotten record of their administration since March 4th, 1921. Therefore, if-neither of the two old parties has given us a frank, straightforward and honest platform with a candidate that we believe will be honest enough or strong enough to keep his pre-election promises, then we are in honor bound to prove to them our independence and cast our lot with the platform and the man whom we trust will recognize his responsibility to the people who voted for him and not the interests who nominated him. PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION I loud are the complaints against the Perkard, whose work took concrete form on the sides of government employees received by the classes of employees hardest hit by warwomen, laborers and messengers—the government employees. That seems to be carried out in practically all of our industry, except the Ford plants. These employees are somewhat to blame the of record that race and class prejudice en But, with this knowledge before them, they Many and loud are the complaints against the Personel Classification Board, whose work took concrete form on the 15th, when the thousands of government employees received their semi-monthly pay. The three classes of employees hardest hit by the Board are the charwomen, laborers and messengers—the three lowest grades of government employees. That seems to be the principle that is carried out in practically all of our industrial and economic employment, except the Ford plants. First, these employees are somewhat to blame themselves. It is a matter of record that race and class prejudice enter into the equation. But, with this knowledge before them, they have failed to co-operate in a strong organization for their mutual protection. The time for them to have protested was when the bill authorizing the classification was before the Congressional committees. The protest of the charwomen will hardly accomplish anything until Congress meets in December. There is a bill pending in Congress now to abolish the Personnel Classification Board and place that work into the hands of the Civil Service Commission, where it properly belongs. With that accomplished, a real and meritorious classification will possibly be made; when all of the employees will not be dominated by an autocratical board as at present, aided and abetted by the "efficiency bureau." What the government needs most is to establish a minimum living wage, like Henry Ford did and then grade from that living wage up. Many of the charwomen and messengers have had their salaries actually cut, while the cost of living remains up—and is on the rise, having risen one per cent during the past month. Is it fair to give a chief clerk a raise of $2,000 per annum and cut his messenger to less than a hundred dollars per month? Many of the men employed as messengers are married and cannot live in Washington on $100 per month. Were the messengers and charwomen,—the ones lowest down,—cut in the pittance of a wage in order to give the chief clerks over them two thousand dollar raises? Senator Smoot, the evident agent of big business, was the stumbling block for advancement for the messengers and charwomen. He is reported as saying, that no Negro was worth a hundred dollars a month. Remember that Senator Smoot is a rock-ribbed Republican. And that the present Republican administration has introduced and put into practice this personnel classification. The Republicans are aware of the fact that practically all the lower grades in the service are filled by Negroes. But they do not care. They say that the lower jobs can always be filled—if one person does not take it another will. Keep the Negro down by keeping his wages down. Some will say this is a presidential election year and the Republicans should be more careful of their colored brother. The Republicans retort that since the women are permitted to vote that nearly all of the white women go to the polls and vote and most of them are Republicans. That most of the colored women remain at home and the addition of the white female voter will offset the few deflected colored male voters who are thinking for themselves and voting accordingly. Therefore, the Republicans are no longer interested in the colored voter. The Republicans have given the Negro a rotten deal all through this administration and this classification is only another chapter in the big book of segregation, jim crowing, discrimination and actual ignoring of the loyal black citizens of this country, by the party of Lincoln, to which the Negro has clung with stupid faith for the past fifty years. Organization is the key-word for success for the government employees. Interest in their own affairs is a vital factor in which the employees in the lower grades seem to be lacking. There are constant developments here which demonstrate that the Negro lacks cohesive organization and the proper leadership to look after the real interest of the people. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams JULIUS BLEDSOE CLOSE SECOND TO ROLAND HAYES Julius Bledsoe, baritone! Ever heard of him before? A new vocal star of the race is now on the ascendancy in the world of music and Julius Bledsoe, baritone, is his name. His debut recital in Aeolian Hall, New York, during last season was most sensational according to the "Musical Courier," We are quite sure that a larger number of our people have never before heard of Mr. Bledsoe much less of his ability in vocal art but we are assured by comments of eminent New York critics that he is a "real" find and will be heard from again in the coming seasons. It would be well just here to read comments on him and digest them. The "New York Times" says: "Julius Bledsoe, a Negro baritone new to the recital stage, in his first appearance at the Acqian Hall fairly placed himself in the ranks of concert singers. His voice has the velvety quality peculiar to his race, with the tender melting pathos which the famous Roland Hayes, his contemporary, has so successfully cultivated. It is possible that Mr. Bledsoe may run the tenor a close second in matter of popularity. His declamation and runs in Handel's 'See the raging flames arise' were noteworthy. His French and German songs were undeniably good, both as to vocal texture and as to expression." From the "New York World" we get "Julius Bledsoe gave a song recital—a robust, exhilarating performance, which for technical excellence and genuine artistic feeling, will rank with the best debuts of the song year." "The Sun" states "That colored men and women have discovered that music may be pursued as a general art and not cultivated by them merely as a specialty confined to performance addressed to their own people was demonstrated at a song recital by Julius Bledsoe, a colored baritone. This singer proved from the beginning of his entertainment that neither race nor color were to be considered in any examination of his art, which did not betray of the idiosyncrasies usually associated with Afro-American singing. Mr. Bledsoe is a medical student in Columbia University. It is gratifying to be able to say that this baritone disclosed valuable gifts and accomplishments." The "Herald-Tribune," "Mr. Bledsoes' singing was marked by intelligence, good taste and considerable expressive coloring." We quote this from the "New York Evening World,"-Julius Bledsoe, colored, a basso with a fine, mellow voice, genuine musical feeling, a prodigious breath support and a singing style that many better known artists might envy, gave his debut recital in Aeolian Hall." It has been said that the Choir is the 'War Department' of the church. Granted that much trouble comes through this agency, we should also admit that next to Sermonizing, the Choir be given the dignity and important. As an attraction, as a channel of preparation for the message or as an agency to bring a decision the value of music cannot be overestimated, and the wonder is that many churches consider it so lightly. We make the plea that the Church Choir be given the digniyt and importance that will enable it to attract the best voices in the community. To this end chose the director. The first qualification should be that he is a Christian gentleman the second that he should have musical ability, thirdly, that he should have a pleasing personality, and fourthly, that he should have good sense and judgement. Next, make him responsible for your musical program, letting him attain his results in his own way, it being understood, of course, that he at all times be in close touch with the minister, he being the recognized authority with reference to the service of worship. However, do not employ a director of music and make him subject to every whim and caprice of a music committee or set of choir officials, usually made up of those who have no musical knowledge or ability, or otherwise possessing a limited knowledge possibly and often with no desire but to nag the spirit out of a man or woman who, left to their own resources, could put across a real piece of work. That is a wise minister who places plenty of time at the disposal of his Director of Music. Boil that hour The Church Choir down to twenty-five minutes of bright material and give the extra time to good music and note how many more will be in the services to hear the preaching. Plan all the services and make things fit. It is not enough to "attract" peopole to church—you must "help" them. Church music is not doing its full work when it tickles the ear and makes the listener recognize ability, but only when it makes folks want to do and be better. One particular hindrance to successful choir building is the lack of new talent due to the fact that choir members too often criticise new members who would join, consequently many singers possessing good voices and musical ability hesitate to connect themselves with a fault-finding choir group. In such a case as that the disturbing element should be eliminated forthwith by the proper officials of the church. Let's put the whole thing on a different plane and put over a real program and we believe it will prove attractive both to the singers who will eagerly and more willingly give of their time and ability, and to church-goers and non-church-goers who will find an attractiveness and helpfulness that may now be lacking in the service of worship.

Quivers of the Murray Brothers Printing establishment writes us an encouraging letter which in part reads as follows: "Allow me (if I may) to commend you on your good work in keeping the "Music Forum" going and I wish you continued success in it, as well as in the other branches of music in which you are interested. Very truly yours." We thank the writer for her very kind expressions and encouragement. Mr. Elbert Williams, well known local musician, has just returned from a trip through the Panama Canal by way of New York from the West and is looking over the music field with the intention of resuming his music work again in the near future. He is a former army musician. While away he met with Capt. Walter Loving and Mr. Clarence C. White out West and states that they both send warmest regards to all their Washington friends through him. Mr. Williams spent quite a while with the editor of the "Forum" covering things of interest while absent from the city.

I see that you have divided the Pen-name Club into two divisions and I decided that I would get in the first division. My motto is: "Don't try to be what you aren't." I am going to summer school to take up advanced work now, and I will try to do my best, too. Give my love to all the Tribunites. "MUSICIAN" Dear Editor: Thank you very much for the ticket. I enjoyed the show. I am sending in a list of books on my book shelf. The following books are written by R. H.

Too many pointed-toed shoes and not enough square-toed ones. Too many serge suits and not enough overalls. Too many decollette and not enough aprons. Too many satin upholstered limousines and not enough cows. Too many consumers and not enough producers. Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to imitate it. Dear Editor: Last week I sent in my pen-name. I am sending in my motto this week. Before I state my motto, I must say that I enjoyed very much the picture which I saw at the Dumbar Theatre last week.

I will try to answer the questions every week hereafter. GEORGE MORRIS AN OLD STORY Saulders Norvell, chairman of the board, McKesson & Robbins, Inc., New York, says: "I have talked to boys and young men for years, and I often tell this old story to them. It is a good story to tell the younger generation. "An old man of seventy and a young man of twenty went out together to have a good time. Each of them spent $10, having a good time. What really happened? The old man spent $10, but what did the boy spend compared with the old man? He spent about $100. Why? If he had saved that $10 it was good for fifty years at 6 per cent interest. It would double every ten years. The old man's $10 was only good for ten years anyhow; so his money was not worth anything." UZZLE BOX L. FILLEN-1924 Never put off until tomorrow what better. it.

In order to meet the legal requirements in certain Western states, this Company has increased its capital stock from $100,000.00 to $250,000.00 and already one-half of the new amount has been disposed of. Since entering the position which he now occupies it is understood that Mr. Williams has been quite successful.

The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is now licensed to do business in twenty-six states, maintains eighty-three branch offices and employs approximately two thousand agents and clerks. A. M. E. Church to Build Big Office Bldg. A. M. E. Church to Build Big Office Bldg. Philadelphia, Pa., July 21—A big office building and publishing house to cost approximately $200,000 will be built in Philadelphia by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which will house the Book Concern, the Christian Recorder, The A. M. E. Review, The Missionary Department and the Church Extension Department. Plans have already been drawn by one of the leading architects of the race, and the site has been purchased and a bond issue is being floated. This will be a great advance step for Negro business in the city of Philadelphia. The direction of the building is directly under the Publication Board of the A.M.E. Church of which Bishop W. H. Heard is president, Rev. I. S. Jacobs of Boston, Mass., Secretary, Rev. D. M. Baxter, Business Manager, R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, J. G. Robinson, editor of the A.M.E. Review, Revs. M. H. Davis, J. M., Gilmore, I. H. Ringgold, Messrs. Jas. W. Caldwell, Armstead Rollins and W. G. Overton. The first annual session of the Mt. Bethel Baptist State Convention of the District of Columbia, Rev. S. Lammins, president, which was held in the Mt. Airy Baptist Church, L Street between First and North Caiptol, Rev. A. J. Tyler, pastor, was one of its most successful conventions. It was perfectly harmonious from beginning to end. It was very largely attended and most enthusiastic. The sermons by Dr. M.W.D. Norman, Dr. Daniel Washington and Dr. J. E. Willis were three of the greatest sermons ever preached to any convention in Washington. The paper by Rev, Dr. A. Sayles on "The Training of Christian Ministry" was a most excellent one. About twenty-five Baptist Churches were represented in the convention; there was a long list of Annual members of Preachers who were not pastors. The Mt. Bethel Baptist State Convention will affiliate with the National Baptist Convention Incorporated, Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, president, and do its educatorial home and foreign missionary work through the National Convention. It is predicted that there will be a large delegation from Washington in attendance at the next National Convention which convenes in Nashville, Tennessee the tenth of next September. The next quarterly meeting of the convention will be held in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. James E. Willis, pastor Wednesday after the third Sunday in October, 1924.

Big Parties Seek Race Support (Continued from page one.) solicitor general of the United States argued the Oklahoma disfranchisement case in the Supreme Court of the United States, resulting in the late Chief Justice White handing down a decision declaring all such laws unconstitutional, will make his candidacy appealing to the colored electorate. Besides there will be a flank attack by the La Follette forces. As yet they have offered no special inducements to the colored voter to come into their ranks. There is nothing in the platform on which he is running of special interest to them. But the Negro will be asked to vote for the La Follette ticket as a protest against the treatment which he has been accorded by both parties in comparatively recent years. No Plans As yet none of the three organizations, which will seek the colored vote has worked out the plans for its campaigs among the colored electorate William M. Butler, the chairman of the Republican National Committee is here conferring with the President and party leaders. He may make in this regard before departing. The Democratic chairman, Clem L. Shaver, is also here. He is familiarizing himself with the work of the committee. At the first opportunity he will take up this phase of the campaign, which is something new in the history of the Democratic party. The La Follette campaign will be in the hands of an executive committee, the personnel of which will be announced this week. It is not probable that a Negro will be on this committee. Philadelphia, Pa.-The A. M. E. Church Review, which has been published from Oceanport, N. J., for the past four years, has moved back to Philadelphia, under its new editor, Dr. J. G.

Denies Story of Riot at Delaware Resort July 21, 1924. Washington, D. C. Gentlemen: I have been an employ of the Hotel Henlopen, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for the past four years and am a resident of Washington, D.C., with my home on Fort Trotten Road, but I resided at the Y.M.C.A., Twelfth Street Branch, since last October. There has just come to my notice the article published in the "American" about a supposed race riot at Rheoboth last week. Of all the lurid flights of imagination that I have ever read, this one takes the medal. Some colored boys got into a word battle on the boardwalk, but not a single blow was struck as far as I can find out and as far as any weapons being used, the statement is absolutely false. The statement also says that the quarters of the men at the Hotel Henlopen were attacked. I live in the quarters myself and no white men have even been around them, let alone tried to make any trouble. The night after the altercation on the boardwalk there was a full force of town policemen on duty but not a thing occurred. Swansey, who evidently had the article written up to discredit the Hotel Henlopen and Rehoboth, must have indulged in a little spite work owing to the fact that he was dismissed by the management. The reasons given for his dismissal were insubordination, cursing the colored pantrywoman, quarreling with the cooks and causing dissatisfaction among the other men. The management felt that he was dismissed for ample reasons and deducted the amount of his fare to the beach, offering him the balance which he refused to take. The management told him that if he would receipt for this balance but not in full, he could prosecute his claim for the fare as he saw fit and as the manager of the hotel lives in Washignton in the winter, it would be little hardship to him. He refused to take anything. After his dismissal, Swansey tried to persuade all the other waiters to quit if he were not allowed his fare. Five of the youngest men in the dining room quit with him voluntarily and the hotel holds receipts in full. The hotel stands ready at any time to pay Swansey the full amount of his wages less the amount of his fare to the beach, amounting to $7.83. All of the other men in the dining room are perfectly satisfied and refused to join in with Swansey. I want to state positively that not one single shot was fired on this beach, that there was no fight of any sort whatever around the Hotel Henlopen and that the men who went home with Swansey did so of their own accord. This letter is written by me voluntarily and not at the request of anyone. I do it because I have always been treated most fairly by the Hotel management and I have found that they stand by their men not only in the summer, but in the winter as well, when they are in need. I think it is unfair to allow such an article to go undenied and prevent a lot of men from coming here to work at one of finest beaches on the coast. I have never known of a colorate man being molested or beat up in this town and I am sure that if anything of the kind occurred that Mr. Burton, the manager, would be the first one to step to the front and see that the offenders were punished and his men properly protected. Had Mr. Swansey made this statement in Waco, Texas (where he says he comes from) it would have been more appropriate than in a city of broadminded people like Washington. I hope that the intelligent people of Dr. Grady Opens Office Dr. Grady Opens Office DR. W. T. GRADY, a graduate of Howard Dental College and who has specialized in oral surgery, extractions, surgical treatment of pyrhea and radiography at Northwestern announces the opening of his office August 1st, at 1937 14th Street DR.

Friends are invited to attend a reception at the opening of his office, August 1st from 6 to 9 p.m. Washington will consider the two statements and decide for themselves which is the more sensible. I trust that you will see fit to publish this letter. Very truly yours, FURMAN JONES. Publicity Office to be Opened According to reliable information given out this week, the Republican Chiefs have decided to open up a publicity office in Washington. In addition to the Washington office, the party bosses also, it is understood, will open similar bureaus in New York City and Chicago. There is now being waged a bitter fight between Colored Republican leaders for the position as head of these bureaus. An announcement on this situation is expected from those in charge some time next week. CLASSIFIED FOR RENT—2 unfurnished rooms, one may be used as kitchenette, 1724 Vermont Avenue, N.W.
