Surprised Advisors by Action. Dr. Kenney to Open Big Hospital in New Jersey Dr. John A. Kenney, for over twenty-two years Surgeon-in-Chief at The John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute and Medical Director of the institute, recently surprised his friends and the public at large by announcing his resignation. At the time of the announcement, no reason or cause was given for his action. Taking into consideration his length of service and the unusually fine record he had made in this time, those who knew Dr. Kenney immediately realized that something was wrong. His friends said: "Surely, Kenney is not leaving his life-work because he is tired." They stated further that the suddenness of the announcement made them sure that there was something that had not been told. A Professor Taylor was in charge of the school in the absence of Moton. It is claimed that Dr. Kenney talked with Prof. Taylor and told him of the ultimatum. He expressed a desire to remain in Tuskegee, and, it is claimed, told Prof. Taylor that if he would give him a squad of male students to protect his home, he would not leave, but would stay at Tuskegee and fight it out. It is stated that Prof. Taylor point blank refused Dr. Kenney's request. Realizing he was helpless by himself, Dr. Kenney left ostensibly to go on a vacation. The situation had cleared up a little by September and Dr. Kenney returned. At this time it was believed that his position was still secure. However, after Principal Moton, who had remained awake while the fight Facts have recently come to light which tend to prove that Dr. Kenney did resign, but actually, he was figuratively kicked out by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee. The story goes back to the bitter fight waged last year by this paper and the National Medical Association for a complete personnel at the United States Veterans' Hospital located at Tuskegee. The fight became very bitter last July and August. The Ku Klux Klan staged a parade around the grounds as a demonstration of their strength and to frighten those Negroes who were living at Tuskegee and contending for a Negro personnel. Shortly after the demonstration by the Klan, it is stated, certain whites of Tuskegee approached Dr. Kenney and asked him, in so many words, what position he had taken on the matter. The doctor, it is claimed, told them frankly that he would never subscribe to the plan to place white doctors in charge of the Veterans' Hospital. It is further claimed that he told them it was his firm conviction that Negro doctors were fully capable of manning the hospital and should be placed in charge of it. This interview with Dr. Kenney greatly angered the whites, who resented, in the first place, the idea that any Negro living in their midst should ever take a stand against their wishes. With this interview in their craws, it is evident, the whites see about to devise ways and means of forcing Dr. Kenney to change his position. A few days later an ultimatum was served on him. He was told that he must change his stand on the matter of a Negro personnel or he would have to leave Tuskegee. Principal Moton was not at Tuskegee at this time, having left hastily, for reasons better known to himself. --- Vol. 4, No. 12 The Washington Tribune Published Weekly A Professor Taylor was in charge of the school in the absence of Moton. It is claimed that Dr. Kenney talked with Prof. Taylor and told him of the ultimatum. He expressed a desire to remain in Tuskegee, and, it is claimed, told Prof. Taylor that if he would give him a squad of male students to protect his home, he would not leave, but would stay at Tuskegee and fight it out. It is stated that Prof. Taylor point blank refused Dr. Kenney's request. Realizing he was helpless by himself, Dr. Kenney left ostensibly to go on a vacation. The situation had cleared up a little by September and Dr. Kenney returned. At this time it was believed that his position was still secure. However, after Principal Moton, who had remained away while the fight was the bitterest, returned to Tuskegee and instead of complimenting Dr. Kenney for taking such a stand, he plainly showed his resentment. As time progressed, Moton tried to get Dr. Kennuey to apologize for his action, it is claimed. This Kenney refused to do, which greatly angered Moton. Realizing he had no reasonable or legal grounds on which to dismiss Dr. Kenney, and also taking into account that he (Moton) was in bad with the public because of his cowardly action, to dismiss a man who had made himself a hero, would surely invoke greater wrath on his head. Therefore, he simply bided his time. With all the trickery he could command, it is said, Moton proceeded to make it so uncomfortable for Dr. Kenney that it was simply impossible for him to maintain his manhood and stay in Tuskegee. After standing all of Moton's insults he could, Dr. Kenney after conferences with his family and friends, decided to give up his life's work and sartr anew in another section where men are men. In Dr. Kenney's resignation, Moton has achieved two goals: the getting rid of a menace to his program; and the proving to the ignorant and Negro hating whites that he (Moton) is still worthy of being continued as their tool, through which they can impede Negro progress. Moton evidently believed he would not have to explain to the public why the noted physician was leaving, supposing a resignation would be self explanatory. Moton further figured, that a resignation would leave his garments clear, so far as the public was concerned, since the resignation came at a time sufficiently far enough removed from last year's turmoil to overlook the connection.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1924 Dismissed Marine is Cousin of Bob Church ELK CONVENTION GARVEYITES ARE MAY BE TAKEN DENIED ENTRANCE TO ANOTHER CITY TO LIBERIA Gov't Loses First Attempt To Hang Alleged Slayers of Policeman Purcell An epidemic of smallpox in Pittsburgh has the Grand Lodge officials of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World in a state of uncertainty. The 1924 Grand Lodge session is scheduled to be held there August 24-30. But the smallpox epidemic has assumed such proportions that the Elk officials have been advised by the director of public health that it will be necesasry for all attending members to be vaccinated. The telegram from the director of public health is as follows: "The situation will call for vaccination of all attending members. Notify members to be vaccinated and bring certificates of vaccination with them. Have local representative call at this office as soon as possible to make amicable and practical arrangements for chech on arrival of members." J. Finley Wilson, the Grand Exalted Ruler, upon being cabled this information at Havana, Cuba, where he had just established Elmorro Lodge, immediately sailed for the United States and is expected to reach New York in a day or two. Menawhile, the local committee in Pittsburgh, of which Charles Gant is chairman, is continuing to make arrangements for the Grand Lodge session, although it has been suggested that the meeting be transferred to some other place. Cleveland has been suggested. Gov't Loses R To Hang All of Police After deliberating for a period of twenty-four hours the jury in the Purcell murder trial was unable to agree upon a verdict and was discharged by Chief Justice McCoy. The jury went out at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. They came back about an hour and a half later for additional instruction as to the difference between first and second degree murder. At 9 o'clock they were ordered locked in for the night. They were sent for by Chief Justice McCoy at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when they announced that they were hopelessly deadlocked. The trial of the four men for the murder of Policeman John W. Purcell early resolved itself into a great legal battle, between opposing counsel. The defendants were ably represented, John W. Wilson represented Ernest A. Brown. T. Morris Wampler and Robert E. Lynch defended Lloyd Monroe. Foster Wood appeared for William Ludley, and Abner Siegal and F. D. Davidson were the attorneys for Joseph P. Slaughter. Against this array of legal talent, Assistant United States Attorneys James J. O'Leary appeared for the government and prosecuted the case and made a strong case out of the circumstantial evidence. The trial lasted three weeks. Policeman Purcell was mortally wounded last October 15, near the Bell schoolhouse in the neighborhood. --- Some months ago there arrived at Monrovia, Liberia, from the United States of America, a delegation from Garvey's U. N. I. A. organization. Upon their arrival they requested an official interview with the President of the Republic. This request was promptly refused for the following reasons: (1) Because the Government of Liberia could not permit itself to be associated with any organization spreading such anti-European political propaganda in Africa as the U. N. I. A. movement seemed to be doing. (2) President King took the position that he was not the president of the Negro race, but rather the President of the Republic of Liberia, and as such his first duty was towards Liberia's best interest; and it was incumbent upon him to see that Liberia's international relations were not marred nor jeopardized in any way, either through racial sentiment or otherwise. (3) Because the conviction and imprisonment of Marcus Garvey on a purely criminal charge necessarily affected the commission, since they went as his official representatives. The PPresident of Liberia could hardly be expected to receive a delegation from an organization, the chief head of which has bene convicted, not for a political offence, but a purely criminal one. The delegation was told that Presi- (Continued on page 2) First Attempt Neged Slayer s eman Purcell of D and Virginia Avenue, Southwest, Policeman Crawford received a gunshot wound, but he survived. George Ludley, a brother of one of the defendants, was also fatally wounded. The four men were indicted for murder in the first degree. The Government contended that each was guilty because one of them, George Ludley who was fatally shot in the gun fight between the police officers and the defendants, killed Officer Purcell in such a way as to constitute murder in the first degree as to the individual person who did the shooting. The others, Mr. O'Leary argued, who did not actually shoot, were equally as guilty because they aided and abetted in the perpetration of the crime. The evidence showed that the bullet which caused the death of Officer Purcell was fired from a German Mauser, which was the property of Ernest A. Brown. According to the testimony, there were only three men on the lot at the time of the shooting. They were identified as Lloyd Monroe, Joseph P. Slaughter, and George Ludley who was killed. But the prosecution was unable to show in whose hands was the gun which fired the fatal bullet. This was the weak link in the chain of circumstantial evidence, upon which the government sought to make these men pay with their lives for the murder of Purcell. Brown took the stand in his own (Continued on page 6) THE FILM "THE BROTHERS" BY JOHN HARRISON.

MOTHER-IN-LAW'S GHOST FIGURES IN SUIT TO REGAIN PROPERTY ON MONTELLO AVE. SHRINERS HEAD FOR CONVENTION IN PITTSBURGH (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 8—When Imperial Potentate Caesar R. Blake, Jr., of Charlotte, N.C., and President Jose Henry Sherwood, of St. Paul, Minn., rap their respective gavels on the Shrine and Knight Templar conventions here, it is expected that they will face the largest assemblage of delegates that has up to this time ever attended these gatherings. Pittsburgh's joint committee of 100 is fast putting the finishing touches on their plans to house and entertain this large gathering of visitors. The various railroads have granted a rate of a fare and a half for the round trip. The citizens have pledged to treat every visitor fairly, with no profiteering in housing or eating accommodations, and the committee promises one of the most ambitious entertainment programs yet attempted by any previous city. The entire population of Pittsburgh and surrounding vicinity is enthused and is giving every assisance to the Masons to make their convention an unqualified success. If you contemplate coming, see the Secretary of the Shrine or Commandry in your local city and get a certificate, which will entitle you to the low rate of fare, or write to G. W. McKoin, 2906 Lawton Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., who will send you a certificate or as many as you need.

The ghost of his mother-in-law figures in a suit filed in the equity division of the District Supreme Court by Clarence C. H. Perry, of 913 P Street, Northwest, to have his wife execute and deliver to him a deed of conveyance to the premises at 1329 Montello Avenue; Northeast, title to which he claims rightfully belongs to him. According to the bill of complaint, on July 26, 1906, the plaintiff entered into an oral agreement with Frank C. Carter, then a fellow-employee of the United States Pension Office, to purchase the property at 1329 Montello Avenue. Perry agreed to assume an existing encumbrance in the form of a deed of trust approximating $1,600, payable to the Washington Six Per Cent Permanent Building Association. He gave Carter a hundred dollars in cash and promisory notes aggregating $329.39 and executed a second trust on the property agreed to be purchased. At the time of the purchase of this property, the plaintiff alleges that his wife, Mrs. Eva J. Perry, was without funds and dependent upon him until the year 1917 when she buttened employment at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where she is still employed, and no portion of the purchase money for this property was contributed by her except the sum of $298.83 in 1920. On the other hand, he has been continuously employed in the United States Pension Office and claims to have paid from his own funds the entire amount agreed upon the purchase price with the exception of the sum of $298.83. Ghost Appears In May, 1920, the plaintiff says that he had paid all of the notes to Carter and all of the debt to the building association except about $300, which was not then due but was payable in monthly installments. He alleges that his wife told him that she had had a vision of her mother, who was then dead, come to her and tell her that (Continued on page 5) (Continued on page 5) Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Vaccinated NEY OUT b Church OFFICIALS DENY DISMISSAL IS ON ACCOUNT OF RACE Says Youth is Being Let Out on Account of Age. He Joined at Memphis At the Navy Department it was explained today that Ralph Norman Wright, United States Marine who is alleged to be colored, is being discharged upon the application of his mother because he is under age. The first knowledge, it was said, that the Navy Department had that he is supposed to be colored was that gleaned from newspaper reports concerning his discharge. Marine Corps officials presumed that he was white. His photograph shows no traces of Negroid features. He is said to be a relative of Robert R. Church, wealthy Republican leader of Memphis, Tenn. "The question of his color has not come up," said Brigadier General-Logan Feland, acting Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. "The fact is that his mother applied for his discharge because he is under age," he stated, "and due to a recent act of Congress, under these circumstances, he must be discharged." Orders have been issued directing Wright to proceed from Panama, where he has been stationed, by the first available Government conveyance to the United States for discharge. He is now supposed to be en route. He will be discharged as soon as practicable after his arrival in the United States on the grounds that he is under age. Wright enlisted in Memphis, Tenn. Before being sent to Panama he went thru a period of training at Paris Island. ZION BISHOPS TO MEET IN BUFFALO, N.Y. The A. M. E.

GARVEY COMMISSIONERS DEPORTED BY LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT dent King would receive them as private American citizens of our racial group in the United States and not as representatives of the U. N. I. A. movement nor that of Marcus Garvey. They accepted the condition and the President accorded them a personal and unofficial interview. This attitude of the Liberian Government seemed to have had no effects upon Mr. Garvey and the Government was forced, on account of pressure from friendly powers, to regard all immigrants under the Garvey movement as undesirable persons.

The picture was niade under the per- sonal supervision of Cecil B. DeMille, and was adapted from The Saturday Evening Post story by Elizabeth Alexander, called “Roles.” , Leatrice Joy asumes a dual role in this pro- duction—that of a beautiful “young society matron, with strong aspira- tions toward the stage, as well as the role of a successful actress who longs for a life of sheer domesticity. In an effort to make complete a temporary divorce between her husband and her- self, the young matron, observing the exact physical resemblance she bears the actress, secretly arranges for the latter to occupy her apartment while the matron moves-to a hotel. Of course, complications result. A Gump comedy “and International newsreel supplement the program. “The Meanest Man in the World,” with Bert Lytell, Blanche Sweet and Bryant Washburn will be the feature attraction on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 14, 15 and 16. ‘The M. Cohan’s famous stage play of the same name: A comedy and other short reols will also be shown, ‘THE CHAMPION STRONG MAN AT SUBURBAN GARDENS The management of the Suburban Gardens has announced an unusual free attraction beginning Saturday, August 9th. Willard MéCurry, sometimes ‘called the human iron girder will let auto- mobiles run over his body, do all sorts of contortionistic stunts, eat fire, and perform a thousand and one interest: ing, mysterious, and supernatural feats. ‘The press throughout the country has admitted that this is one of the best acts to be seen.

(Continued from page one.) they are undecided about making the trip because of reading reports in the daily newspapers that ‘there was a paging epidemic of smallpox,in Pitts- burgh. For the information of those who may have a fear of coming to Pitts- burgh on account of the reported epi- demic of smallpox it is announced that about two months ago a few cases ‘of smallpox was discovered in the “Pittsburgh district. Local officials of the ‘health department made an ac- tive and aggressive campaign to stamp out the epidemic and took dras- tie measures to prevent the spread of the disease. They have been suc- cessful in their efforts. The news- papers published reports of the activi- ties of the health authorities and the impression was gained abroad that thousands of persons here were af- flicted with smallpox. As a matter of fact during the entire year only 88 eases of smallpox have been reported in this section. There is no smallpox epidemic here, $10,000 MEMORIAL TABLET FOR NOTED NEGROES Philadelphia, Pa.—As q part of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition celebra- ting the 150th anniversary of the De- claration of Independence to be held in Philadelphia in 1926, a Memorial Tablet will be erected. “On this tablet will be the names of 150 leading Ne- groes who have contributed something substantial to the growth of our coun- try since its founding. ‘This list will be headed by Richard Allen, founder of the African Metho- dist Church, Absolom Jones, James Barrett, Lott Carey, John Leisle, and ethers who contributed to the found- ing of the Negro church.

The new hours has somewhat relieved the overcrowdedness but has not relieved the inadequate facilities. Mrs. Rhodes, head of the playground department, after several conferences, decided last week to open the Howard pool on Sunday between the hours of 1:00 and 6:00 p.m., for mixed bathing. Heretorefore, the pool has been closed on Sundays, which is the only day a large number of people can visit the pool. Last Sunday, the first time the pool was open, a very large crowd was out and voiced their hearty approval of the new arrangement. In addition to opening the pool on Sundays, Mrs. Rhodes has extended the daily hours, thereby giving more time for mixed bathing. According to the new schedule, the Howard pool opens at 6:00 a.m., and closes at 10:00 p.m. Mixed bathing is permitted on week days between 6:00 a.m., and 9:00 a.m., 7:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m., Sundays from 1:00 p.m., to 6:00 p.m. Women and girls use the pool exclusively between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while men and boys use it during the same hours on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturday. Even with the new hours, the pool is greatly inadequate to accommodate those who desire to use it. However, Mrs. Rhodes of the playground department is doing everything in her power to accommodate as many bathers as possible. The conduct at the Howard pool is as good if not far better than that at any other pool or bathing beach in the city. People living in the neighborhood stated to a Tribune reporter that they are pleased to have the pool in the neighborhood. The Eighth Precinct also reported that they have no complaint to make of the conduct at the pool. The life guards at the pool likewise report that the conduct of the bathers is above reproach. The new schedule is expected to remain in force throughout the summer. " HILLDALE CAST-OFFS TAKE LEAD IN ROYALS VICTORY Philadelphia, July 31st—Connie Rector and Bunny Downs, two erstwhile Hilldale players figured prominently in the overthrow of the Hilldale Club when the Flatbush invaders scored a hair line 4 to 3 triumph. Rector held the home team to 6 hits and turned back 5 via the strike-out route, while Downs horned into the the limelight with a timely single in the seventh frame that scored Scott with what proved to be the deciding tally. It however, remained for Irving Brooks to save the day for the visitors, with two men down in the ninth inning and Santop on second base, George Johnson drove one to centerfield that had all the earmarks of a triple, Broks chased the drive to the fence and literally picked the flying sphere off the boards. All of Hilldale's tallies were the results of home run drives by Santop, Warfield and Judy Johnson. Hilldale . R H A Royal Gts.

Lockhart the southern collegian allowed the league leaders but seven hits and slightly the best of a duel with Winters. George-Shively, late of the Washington Potomacs played a prominent part in the victory by scoring the tieing run and driving over the final. Favorites Advance in Local Tournament HOLMES, WILKINSON, THOMPSON, WOOLRIDGE REMAIN Tally Holmes, and Johnny Wilkinson in the upper half and Ted Thompson and Allen Woolridge in the bottom section, reached the semi-final round of the local tennis tournament on Wednesday. The contestants in both sections will clash on Thursday afternoon to determine who will advance to the finals. Holmes and Thompson are favored to meet in the final round with each player having plenty of support as to the outcome of a match between them. Holmes, the present District champion and former national champion entered the semi-finals by defeating Prof. Gregory, Sterling Brown, M. Goff and Eddie Davis. The latter gave the champ a stubborn battle but after winning the first set fell before the superior generalship and play of Holmes. Wilkinson was extended to dispose of Walker Savoy but found Clyde Freeman and Doc Perry easy to conquer. Perry was defeated by Wilkinson, 6-1, 6-2. Tqd Thompson experienced little difficulty in scoring against A, Davis, 6-2, 6-4, and Bill Williams, 6-3, 6-3. Allen Woolridge defeated Cecil Blue, L. S. Wormley and J. Cromwell to join the select four. The men's doubles which got underway Tuesday had not brought any of the star combinations together at the time of this writing. The junior singles are advancing slowly. Allen Woolridge, national junior champion is almost conceded the victor of this event. The ladies' events have been called off due to insufficient entries. Finals Saturday The finals will be played off on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock. In addition a special exhibition match between Miss Slowe and Miss Nicholson may also be staged. Interest in the tournament is at a higher pitch this year than ever before. The courts have been crowded with spectators every day. More than 64 entries were received by the manager of the tournament. RESULTS OF MEN'S SINGLES Monday and Tuesday—(upper half) Johnny Wilkerson defeated Walter Savoy, 6-2, 4-6, 6-1; Doc Perry defeated Paul Miller 6-0, 6-2; Ed Davis defeated M. Murray 6-4, 6-4; Tally Holmes defeated Sterling Brown, 6-2, 6-4. Clyde Freeman, Dr. Andrews and Dan Monroe advanced through defaults. Tally Holmes defeated Gregory 10-8, 6-2 and L. Cook defeated N. Jarvis 6-4, 6-1 to reach this round. M. Goff defeated L. Cook, 6-0, 6-4. (Lower half) Ted Thompson defeated W. Warfield 6-4, 7-5; Bill Williams defeated W. Rudd, 6-0, 6-0; A. Woolridge defeated Cecil Blue 6-0, 6-3; L. Wormley, A. Davis, H. Booker advanced through defaults. Tuesday—(upper half) Johnny Wilkerson defeated Clyde Freeman 6-1, 6-2; Tally Holmes defeated M. Goff, 6-0, 7-5; Dr. Andrews defaulted to Doc Perry. Ed Davis defeated Dan Monroe. (Lower half) Ted Thompson defeated Bill Williams, A. Woolridge defeated L. Wormley, 6-0, 6-3. MISS SLOWE MAY TRY TENNIS COMBACK Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women at Howard University and three times winner of the national ladies' singles tennis championship, is seriously considering entering the national tennis tournament at Baltimore. The former champion will play through the local tournament which is in progress now, provided enough ladies enter to assure keen rivalry. Miss Slowe defeated Miss Channel, the Chicago phenom and present champion, in the National finals of 1921. She has been in retirement since that year. District tennis fans are urging Miss Slowe to compete in the Nationals and her decision probably rests on her showing in the local tournament. ATHLETICS AND VA. ALL-STARS IN DRAW The Pride of Arlington Athletics, and the Va. All-Stars battled to a 7-7 tie Tuesday on the A's field. Timely batting and spectacular fielding by both teams kept the other from deciding who was to be superior. Brown made a home run for the All-Stars. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. AUGUST 9. 1924 Winner of the Indianapolis Auto Race 10 Here is Maleolm Hannon, in his Barber-Warnock (Ford) Special which he drove to victory in the first-annual 100-mile automobile race held at Indianapolis last Saturday. A J. Simmons driving a R. & B. Special finished second close behind the winner, while Hugo Barnes in a R. and B. Special was awarded third place. They were the only finishers out of the fifteen that started. The winner's time, 1 hr. 45 min. 42 sec. was considered remarkable for a dirt track. Only colored drivers contested. Maleolm is a product of Indianapolis. A cup donated by the Dickerson Musical Enterprise was given the winner. (Photo by Patton) SPORTS CHATTER By H.

TEDDY BEAR-TIGER GAME ENDS ABRUPTLY The Teddy Bears and LeDroit Tigers were booked to furnish the chief amusement to a small gathering at the American League park last Saturday afternoon. The occasion was the Knights of Pythias Annual Field Day. The game slated for 3:30 began almost two hours later. Up until that period nothing had transpired save the formal appearance on the field of a number of companies led by Miller's band. Apparently the ball players had grown weary for just as soon as the game was called, the umpire-ragging began. The Teddy Bears garnered three runs in the initial inning while the Tigers got one. There was no further scoring but plenty of arguments. The teams were warned by officials that the arguments must cease. The game came to an abrupt close in the latter half of the third when Johnny Pugh slide into third base, knocked against Harry Williams, and away went the ball. Williams rushed Pugh and Umpire Richardson promptly ordered both to the showers. Williams went his way while Tiger players protested for Pugh. At this point one of the officials ordered the umpire to call the game which he did. When this writer left the park the officials of both clubs were trying to learn where the $25.00, the winner's purse, was going, while the hand full of fans who came to see the game were forced to remain and view the colorless drilling in return for their "four-bits." Blame for the frequent arguments can be placed on the club officials who allow each and every man to have his say, showing lack of discipline. There was no reason for Williams to square off with Pugh even if the latter did intentionally knock the ball out of his hand. Pugh has served with the Bacharach Giants and others and Williams with the Black Sox. Experience has taught Pugh baseball tricks and by the same means Williams has learned to be on guard. The Bears with a two-run lead and the game to be called in the seventh by agreement had the edge. But the question of the purse probably attracted the Tigers. The game was not forfeited and as it had not gone four and one-half innings a winner could not be declared. Probably had Acting-President Hayes Jones of the Union League been on hand members of each club would be coughing up money for fines. The incident was unfortunate since the Tigers and Bears have the biggest following of any independent clubs. They are at present running neck-an-neck for the local league leadership and the above game was a regularly scheduled game. However, it may mean a change in the future actions of these teams on the field. For example, the Bears are managed by John Fells, with Buck Carroll, field captain, but no individual has more chatter than Tom Payne, ex-manager. Andrew Allen, is manager of the Tigers and Burrell Kenner, captain, but even civilian members of the club join in the chorus. Such exhibitions do not help independent baseball. Two silver loving cups and one silver ball donated by the A. J. Reach Company to the teams that finish first and second in the Departmental League race are on display at the Tribune office. The Treasury team is almost certain of landing the winner's cup and the ball although both the Government Printing Office and Veterans' Bureau nines still have chances to upset the dope. The league season is scheduled to close on August 8. A few postponed games are yet to be played. The Veterans' Bureau team is in second place and playing the best ball it has shown this season.

Up until that pee-formal appearance on the field of a band, the crown weary for just as soon as the bug began. The Teddy Bears garnered the Tigers got one. There was no points. The teams were warned by officials. The game came to an abrupt close in any Pugh slide into third base, knocked out the ball. Williams rushed Pugh and both to the showers. Williams went for Pugh. At this point one of the game which he did. When this writer were trying to learn where the $25.00 the hand full of fans who came to and view the colorless drilling in return can be placed on the club officials who say, showing lack of discipline. There are off with Pugh even if the latter did this hand. Pugh has served with theiams with the Black Sox. Experienced by the same means Williams has with a two-run lead and the game to be lead the edge. But the question of the game was not forfeited and as innings a winner could not be declared. As Jones of the Union League been on coughing up money for fines, the Tigers and Bears have the biggest They are at present running neck-and-land the above game was a regularly mean a change in the future actions, example, the Bears are managed by John, but no individual has more chatter new Allen, is manager of the Tigers and civilian members of the club join in the independent baseball. HAYES JONES WITHDRAWS GIANTS FROM RACE Hayes Jones, probably the best in- formed individual on semi-pro and sandlot baseball in the city has been forced to withdraw his Washington Giants from the Union League race. Inability to get a team of any strength is the reason. Last season manager Jones had Ford and Poindexter, now playing pro-ball and a number of other good prospects. Baltimore, Md., August 3—The Balt- imore Black Sox and the Brooklyn Royal Giants split a twin bill her- today, the locals losing the first game 7 to 5, and copping the second, 12 to 3. Joe Williams defeated Britt in the opener while McClure triumphed when Rector blew up in the eighth and was clubbed for eleven runs. Doc Sykes has been let out by the Sox. Doc was unable to give two days a week to baseball and that ac- counts for such action by the club. Sykes is a Howard graduate and is a successful Baltimore dentist.

Sunday, afternoon, August 10 at 3:30 o'clock, opposing Ben Taylor's fast-moving Potomac. The Hildale club is called an all-star combination. It's field captain is second baseman Warfield, the equal of any black or white in handling the ball in the game today. Mackey who led the league at bat last year is covering the first sack. Santop, one of the club's biggest drawing cards is handling the curvers with Joe Lewis, last year a Potomac, as his understudy. Our own "Nimp" Winters, a former member of the LeDroit Tigers, is the club's outstanding pitcher. "Nimp" is by far the leading colored southpaw in the game. "Red" Ryan, "Phil" Cockrell, Currie and another one of our "boys," "Script" Lee, a Georgetown product, form what is probably the best staff in the league. The yongster Stevens who was farmed out in the spring has been recalled and is covering the shortfield. Judy Johnson is cavorting around the hot corner while the flashy Briggs, the brilliant Thomas and the reliable Geo, Johnson are found at the right, center and left sectors of the garden. Carr and Allen are the reservists. Local fans know what the Potomacs have been doing. Manager Taylor has announced that either Grier or Hampton will be sent against the champs. Hampton scored a victory over Hill-dale when the clubs last clashed. The club has defeated Grier but on that occasion he fanned nine and allowed but six hits. Sunday's game was a corker. For six innings Fabre, the Cuban pitcher-outfielder, had the locals eating out of his hand. He also had the help of his mates who fielded sensationally. Goodrich started the fireworks in the "lucky" frame with a triple and when the smoke had cleared Fabre was gone and four runs were over. Another was gotten in the ninth by fast work on the bases by Chaney White who stretched a scratched hit into a double moved up on a bunt and scored when Taylor's drive almost carried Jaunelo's legs into the outfield. This game White drove the deciding run over in the tenth after Hampton had walked, with a scorching double which Mesa handled poorly. White and Hampton were the heroes. The Potomac outfield sparkled more than ounce, the infield excluding Ben didn't do so well in the field. Oms. Mesa and Jimenez contributed a number of fine catches. Manager Taylor has released outright catcher Creek and third baseman Jeffries and recalled catcher Williams whom he loaned to Harrisburg. The club is getting good pitching from the entire staff, composed of Carr, Hampton, Grier, Jenkins, Albritton and Smith. Eggleton batting left-handed his second time up poked a clean single to left and on his next turn at plate batting right-handed he laced a clean one to center. Few ball players can do that. The crowd was slightly better than Sunday previous. But tomorrow we expect to see about 5,000 although 15,000 should be on hand.

O.'s YOUNG BROWN Kid Woods, Government Printing Office Colored welterweight boxer adds another victim to his already long list by scoring a knockout over Young Brown who hails from some- where below the Mason and Dixon Line. Brown has fought the best colored boys in the welterweight Division. Some of the wise heads have said that he would give the "Georgia Peach" Tiger Flowers a run for his money. However, the Kid from the Printing Office gave him a sound lac- ing before knocking him cold in the second round in the preliminary to the Denico-Herbert fight at Kenilworth last Monday night.

Turner started for Georgetown but came out in the second with the Imperials six runs in the lead and two men on Frazier who relieved Turner struck out the next batter, retiring the side. Feature of the game was the striking out of 13 men by Frazier. The batting of Boyd and the fielding of Hinkle were other highlights. ALEANDRIA LAFAYETTE JUN IORS FALL BEFORE ATHLETICS The Pride of Arlington Athletics, won their ninth straight game of the season by the score of 9 to 1 when they won from the Lafayette Juniors in Alexandria, the entire team played stellar ball from the beginning to the end, and the Juniors could not prevent them from scoring.

The site has been purchased, the ground cleared and the foundation work begun. The building will be complete under the contract by late fall.. This school is to be used for the education of colored children and takes the place of the old two-story brick building in Nauck. Those who are interested in Douglass Park, and there are many—will be pleased to know that this new building is being erected on an eminence just 450 feet from Douglass Park and on Taylor Street of Nauck adjoining the beautiful Douglass Park with Main Avenue on the east side of the Park. A close study of the advantages of this section shows that no people, educationally speaking, are better provided for at the beginning of life than the youth of Arlington County.

His wife, he claims, had saved some money and importted him to accept of her enough money to pay the building association, which upon inquiry he found to be $298.83. He accepted this amount from his wife and paid off the indebtedness. He alleges that he supposed himself to be the owner of record of this property until in the year 1922 when his wife claimed for the first time that the property was hers. He later found in the deed from Carter his wife was named as the grantee. He is not advised, he states, how the name of his wife instead of his came to be inserted in the deed as the grantee. He says that he believes that his wife is likely to sell this property and squander the proceeds and thus deprive him and their children of the fruits of his industry and thrift. He therefore asks the court to declare that he is the sole owner of this property, subject only to the dower rights of his wife. He also seeks to have the court declare a resulting or constructive trust in favor of him, and his wife to be a trustee under this trust for his sole use and benefit. He asks that she be enjoined from claiming title to this property and required to execute and deliver to him a deed of conveyance in fee simple. Separated in 1923 The plaintiff and defendant were married May 4, 1903, in Washington, D.C., and have three children, James I. Perry, 19 years of age; Clarence A. Perry, 16 years of age, and Leon J.

After practically kicking Dr. Kenney out, principal Moton then began a hunt for his successor. He first attempted to get another competent surgeon, but one who would do as he was told. He communicated with several noted physicians in various parts of the country, asking them to recommend someone. Moton stated the position was worth between $12,000 and $15,000 a year. A prominent young physician of this city became interested but before his application could be received Moton announced the selection of Dr. Eugene Dibble, who was then connected with the Veterans' Hospital. The selection of Dr. Dibble came as a complete surprise to those whom Moton had asked for help, because he had told them that Dr Dibble was too young and inexperienced. At first Dr. Dibble was not given any consideration for the place. But since Dr. Dibble has worked at Tuskegee under Kenney, it is possible that while there he showed the sort of traits that would make him acceptable to Moton. Moton's sudden change of heart is believed to have been caused by the fact that all of the men recommended were high class physicians, mostly from the North; but having kicked out Dr. Kenney, because of his manly stand, he was not inclined to take any chances on placing someone in his place of the same calibre. Therefore he preferred to sacrifice knowledge and experience for an inexperienced man whom he probably feels he can handle. Acceptability and not ability was the main thing to be considered John Andrew Kenney was born in Albermarle County, Va., June 11th, 1874. He attended Hampton Institute. Later he entered the Medical School of Shaw University, graduating in 1901. He took his internship at Freedmen's Hospital in this city. From Freedmen's Hospital he went he served continuously up to this sumo to Tuskegee Institute in 1902, where mer, when he resigned. He has been for many years managing editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association, and ranks very high as a surgeon and writer. The John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute, under Dr. Kenney's management has been officially rated in the "A" class, the highest rating in America. About twelve years ago he began conducting public clinics at the hospital which attracted marked attention". These later developed into Clinical Society with annual meetings which extend over a week or more and attract physicians of both races from all over the country, especially from the South, some of the leading specialists of the country attending as lecturers and demonstrators. These meetings have been of inestimable benefit to our race doctors, and no doubt, their discontinuance will be greatly regretted. While Dr. Kenney has not publicly announced his future plans, it is understood he intends to settle in New Jersey where he, in company with Dr. W. G. Alexander, Dr. Geo. A. Cannon and others, will open a modern hospital. Dr. Kenney will probably be in charge of the hospital. PAGE FIVE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE Published Weekly at Washington, D.

They realized "the well laid plan to discourage and intimidate the Negro" a long time ago, and as soon as they could get away from that "plan" they hied themselves to a better living environment—out of reach of the "plan." What the thousands of migrating Negroes did, must be given serious thought by the business and professional Negroes, as well as the farmers of the South. If there is "a well laid plan to discourage and intimidate the Negro" in the South—and no one conversant with the conditions there would doubt the statement that such a plan is in operation—then the leaders, including the Negroes in business, would do well to do some planning themselves. The thousands of Negroes who have left the South, have pointed the way. When 4,000,000 more Negroes leave the South it will undoubtedly make it better for the remaining four or five millions. When an intelligent man realizes that he is a citizen of the most advanced and richest country in the world, but, because of his color, he is discriminated against, denied the protection of the laws which he is taxed to maintain, disfranchised of his suffrage, curtailed in educational facilities for his children, denied the sanctity of his home, constantly robbed of the honest returns of his labor and forced to witness the mistreatment of his women folk right before his eyes, that individual is bound to be a miserable person. A sense of insecurity pervades his very being, and "home" loses its attractiveness. There is, indeed, a well laid plan all over the South to discourage and intimidate the Negro and The Birmingham Reporter as well as the rest of the papers there could not render their subscribers a better service than to constantly call this matter to their attention and by so doing help to hasten the day of their migration. The Negro can adapt himself to any climate or condition. His salvation lies, not in remaining in the South, but in speedy migration to the North, East and West, and even to Canada or Mexico. Those who have migrated have in general been satisfied with the change. Notwithstanding lying propaganda to the contrary, very few have returned to Dixie, except to visit or to take away those left behind. In some instances, whole communities have migrated—keeping their churches and societies and professional relations intact—pastors, officers and professional men retaining their former positions and clientele in the new location.

The American government work under a three party system of election is based on a majority. The number of electoral votes is 266. One of the most secure that many votes in the electoral colony with three candidates in the field, running the outlook indicates for the coming election, it is impossible for either of the three men to receive 266 electoral votes. Presidents were elected by direct vote of the electors,—the one receiving the highest number elected—then a third party would have present system there is little hope for a third, the result of the November election made one of the older parties. Which will be the reactionary and are dominated by Wall Street? Should dominate "human rights." Democratic party has been considered the party of liberty. That was the drawing card for man. But, the New York Convention adopting its power and prestige to the economics, discouraged classes. Hence the American this week, denounced both of the older parties and vote for the La Follette ticket. That means party. With the loss of the votes of the vote of Labor and the workmen which they were passive element of the Democratic party is remainder will be little different from the old party. More, if the American system cannot work under rest, a large vote for La Follette will mean a man of the Democratic party, for there must distribution of the progressive economic and social of the great American middle class. There about 25,000,000 votes cast in the 1920 La Follette-Wheeler ticket polls anywhere from votes in November it will mean the birth of a decade of the Democratic party. With the vote of 3,000,000 or more, the Socialist vote of 1,000,000 or more from the dissatisfied far-left progressive Negro vote and the Catholics it to see the La Follette ticket run into the city to a new progressive party through which an economic and social relief. With the La Follette ticket in the field this fall, the fundamental issue before the American voter for his consideration is: "Will the American government work under a three party system? Our system of election is based on a majority. This year the required number of electoral votes is 266. One of the three candidates must secure that many votes in the electoral college to be elected. With three candidates in the field, running as close together as the outlook indicates for the coming election in November, it will be impossible for either of the three men to obtain the necessary 266 electoral votes. If our presidents were elected by direct vote of the people, as are our senators,—the one receiving the highest number of votes being declared elected—then a third party would have a chance. Under our present system there is little hope for a third party. Therefore, the result of the November election may mean the elimination of one of the older parties. Which will it be? Both have become reactionary and are dominated by Wall Street. There is an undertow against the principle of Wall Street that "property rights" should dominate "human rights." The Democratic party has been considered the party for progress and liberality. That was the drawing card for the American workman. But, the New York Convention adopted a platform denying its power and prestige to the economically disfranchised and discouraged classes. Hence the American Federation of Labor, this week, denounced both of the older parties and voted to endorse and vote for the La Follette ticket. That means a vote for a new party. With the loss of the votes of the American Federation of Labor and the workmen which they will influence, the progressive element of the Democratic party is eliminated and the remainder will be little different from the reactionary Republican party. Therefore, if the American system cannot work under a three party contest, a large vote for La Follette will mean the possible elimination of the Democratic party, for there must be a party for the distribution of the progressive economic and social power of the bulk of the great American middle class. There were about 25,000,000 votes cast in the 1920 election. If the La Follette-Wheeler ticket polls anywhere from six to eight million votes in November it will mean the birth of a new party and the decadence of the Democratic party. With the American Federation vote of 3,000,000 or more, the Socialist vote of 1,250,-000 and 2,000,000 or more from the dissatisfied farmers along with the progressive Negro vote and the Catholics it will not be surprising to see the La Follette ticket run into the millions and give birth to a new progressive party through which the people can obtain economic and social relief.

Illiterate Voters The only thing wrong with Loeb and Leopold is that "they were taught pagan philosophy," thinks the Georgia Committee on Education. As a result the Georgia legislature has favorably reported a bill withdrawing state funds from schools in which the Darwinian theory is taught. The most disconcerting thing about some of our distant districts is not to be found in what they do but in the inability to understand them when they do it. We admire the nobility of consistency in a legislative body which overwhelmingly votes down the child labor amendment and then purposes to defend its rising generation by forbidding them the theory of evolution. It may be magnificent, but, in our way of thinking, it is certainly not (I. L. Parker) good sense. Such legislators are to be found in Georgia and her neighboring states and may be continually so found; but, why, is beyond our comprehension. Dr. Julia P. H.

Dr. Coleman, in accepting the invitation of the National Colored Coalition Political Association, was governed by her attitude towards the installment plan.

Unlike last year there is no coal strike in sight now. Consequently, consumers are dilatory in laying in their winter's supply of coal. Retailers can not have on hand a supply sufficient to meet the demand if everybody waits until the last moment. To fill your bins during the summer months, would serve a three-fold purpose: give the miners full-time employment, remove the danger of traffic congestion in the fall, and give no excuse for a sharp rise in prices when the winter production and transport can not keep pace with the demand. Unduly large surpluses are accumulating at the collieries, miners are being laid off or reduced to part time—all because coal purchasers have not realized the general advantage it would be to stock up now. Secretary Hoover's advice to stock up in advance should appeal alike to the self-interest of manufacturers and house-holders. It is to their advantage to keep the miners digging and the cars loaded.

Especially is it interesting now that experts are called in to give their opinions. It is not an uncommon habit of the wealthy to make insanity their defense in murder cases, nor is it hard for them to find alienists who are willing to certify in their behalf. Nor is the habit void of criticism. But in this case we are being given a new variation of the old theme. "Interlocking personalities" is what various psychiatrists, neurologists, psycho-analysts say of these two young "intellectuals." That is to say—apart they are harmless; together their criminal impulses spring into being. They are like the two parts of a acidlitz powder—quiescent until they are brought together. They are afflicted, we are told, with a state of psychosis which is extremely rare, like the fossil which broke up the society upon Stanislaus, as related by the Truthful James. In other words, all this pseudo-scientific palaver simply means that Loeb and Leopold did together what neither would have done separately. But how about those cases of crimes of persons admitted sane in which it is called conspiracy? From the evidence in this case it is an exceedingly deliberate conspiracy. We can not see, in view of the fact that previous to the crime they were regarded as exceptionally intelligent, how insanity in their case can be established, either single or compound. They were abnormal, we are told. But does it necessarily follow that an abnormal person is insane? Granting that the commission of any crime indicates a moral twist in the criminal, we can not conclude that he is irresponsible. Such a doctrine is dangerous. It would make the asylum a proper substitute for the prison, which is a perfect reductio ad absurdum. These two young slayers knew, according to their own statements, what it was all about; and this, with due respect to the experts, is the real test of sanity or insanity. To attempt to prove that they were jointly, but not individually, responsible for what they did is an audacious attempt to defeat the ends of justice.

There may be some truth in this. The National Education Association, which recently convened here, asserted that 4,300,000 illiterates will be entitled to cast their votes next November for the President of the United States and members of Congress. Experts of the association, in debate, expressed their belief that there are fully twice as many: some overlooked by the Government, others concealing their defects. Generally, we claim that immigrants are the most lacking in education, but on the strength of the report of the National Education Association three-fourths of the acknowledged illiterates are native born. Such a state of affairs is both a menace to government and a handicap to citizenship. There was a time when a man could be a good citizen even though he was unable to read and write, but to-day, with education within the reach of all and to be had for the asking, it is difficult to look at him as such. Many of the States have compulsory education laws for the express purpose of preventing such a condition. However there is some consolation in the fact that the policy of this Great Republic in the matter of free education is bound to minimize illiteracy. Yet there is food for thought in the suggestion that millions of those who are entitled to vote are lacking in the qualifications which should be expected of those who participate in the naming of Congressmen and Presidents.

Now that the scholarly DuBois has aligned himself with the third party movement; we wonder if he indoles progressivism in Wisconsin, democracy in Montana and socialism in the remaining forty-ssix states. Rumor doth double, like the voice and echo, The numbers of the fear'd. Disquieting rumors break in upon us from the democratic camps of the colored brethren that, they favor the third party. Brethren, there is this about politics, that frequently when we think the worse has happened, it is but the forerunner of worse to come. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. The Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser states editorially that: "It is true that the Democratic party has honored Wheeler, but he throws the honors back in the party's face. But after all it saves the party the painful duty of purging itself." Mr Wheeler will have as his bed-fellows in the "pest-house" of the Democratic party, the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. All human life especially the active part is constituted in a state of continual militancy. The militancy of Senator James A. Reed, anti-Wilson, anti-league Democrat, of Missouri, is still being felt within the ranks of his party. The eloquent Senator dislikes Bryan and hesitates to support John W. Davis because Davis leans towards the European league of nations. Woe to the issue that arouses the ire of "Battling Jim." Our people quarrel with obedience; Swearing allegiance, and the love of soul, To stranger blood. The most comprehensive statement of Klan ideals is to be found in section four of the oath of allegiance every Klansman is required to take. "I swear that I will most zealously and valiantly shield and preserve by any and all means the methods and sacred constitutional rights and privileges of free public schools, free press, separation of church and state liberty, white supremacy." It will interest Klansmen to learn that since the birth of human law and from the very earliest of the groupings of peoples under various controls, the principle of fraternalism has been contending against the principle of social disorder. In the main, the conflict has been limited to a warfare of ideas and theories. Of all the beasts, I see The elephant the van-guard doth command. In the three-ringed political circus "Careful Cal" is still the ring master. Like fawning courtiers, for success they wait; And then come smiling, and declare for fate.

CHIROPRACTORS MEET The regular meeting for July of The Washington City Chiropractors' Association was held at the rooms of The Central Chiropractic College, 1914 7th Street, Northwest, on the evening of July 16th. Attendance was large and the President, Dr. Alexander Van Rooyen, presided. The committee on Constitution, Dr. Marie E. Whittye, Dr. Lewis C. Sheafe, Dr. Edward C. Bryant and Dr. C. A.

Adams I feel there's a soul in my violin, A beautiful feminine soul; And her voice I can hear when the music is clear, As each note is released from control. I see her fair form through the sound- holes arise Til she stands on the vibrating strings; As the bow moves along, comes the tone of her song— Ah, even the memory clings! How fair is the spirit my eyes dwell upon! There's the gloss of the sun in her hair; There's light in her face that illumines the place; She has grace that compels one to stare. There's a draping of white o'er her body, that glows Through the folds of her filmy gown— Ah, never was seen a more beautiful queen Than the one that wears music's bright crown. I believe theres' a soul in each violin And the player may bring it to view. By mingling his own with the violin's tone, Thus making one soul of the two. How often I've gazed on this spirit of dreams, Who's as fair as my fancy can spin! Oft I reach out my arms to enfold her rare charms— The soul of my violin. —McIntyre. If you think of learning to play the violin this fall or winter, go at it earnestly and right. The first thing you will need is a violin. Don't think you will get a prize instrument in buying one of the $5.00 outfits because such instruments are generally bought by the dozen and your own common sense will tell you what you may expect in purchasing such a combination. Pay a fair price for one. Pay $15 for the violin alone; then, if possible, get a teacher—one who knows tones—and who can tell E natural from an open E String. Study with a determination that will last an hour a day for three years. Many start with lots of enthusiasm as long as it is a novelty. They think of nothing else for about a month, giving themselves no rest, or their neighbors, either. The violin is not learned that way. Persistence, patience and a good deal of stick-to-itive-ness is what tells in the end. If during the first ten months you can devote half an hour a day doing the work slowly (above all things avoid trying to play fast) with the purpose of doing it well your determination will indicate that you have the elements of success in you. Regarding girls playing the violin, they soon find it is not so easy as they imagine. It requires a good deal of physical endurance. Many are determined and play beautifully. As a rule, they are more careful than the average boy. Every girl is supposed to play the piano, but every girl cannot play the violin. As a social adjunct the girl playing the violin has the advantage over her sister at the piano. Everybody begins to talk. But let the girl enter the room with her violin; all eyes are centered on her and all are ready to give her attention. If equal to her task, every consideration is shown her. If your thoughts are centered on any occupation, you will succeed; and to concentrate your efforts on music, you will certainly gain success, and your influence will spread refinement and pleasure in this busy world. Things Music Students Should Learn You should learn that music is the art which deals with tones. Tone results when a vibrating body is set in motion and a medium like air carries the impression to the brain. Some combinations of tone are consonant and other dissonant. Dissonance forms one of the chief contrasting elements in music. Tones may be arranged vertically or horizontally. When they are arranged vertically, harmony results, i.e., chords; when they are arranged horizontally, melody results. Rhythm is the element which holds music together. Accent deals with the individual tones themselves. Time deals with the duration of the measure. Rhythm deals with the groups of measures. There are two kinds of time—double and triple. All others can be derived from these two. Measures are generally grouped in series of two, but pieces may be grouped in series of three, five, seven, etc. These latter, ship. Steps were taken toward reciprocity with the various state societies. The next regular meeting will be held on August 20th at the home of Dr. Charles A. Thompson, 411 T St., Northwest. however, are not so common as the two-measure unit. The smallest complete unit of melody is the "motiv." The next largest is the phrase. Phrases are combined into melodies. Harmony is the foundation of music and deals with chords. There are seven different tones in the scale, and there are as many different scales as there are tones—i.e., twelve. An interval is the combination of two tones. Some intervals are consonant and others dissonant. Chords are composed of intervals. Some chords are more important than others, depending upon what degree of the scale they are used. Harmony offers great possibilities to the serious student. Second Baptist Wants 200 Voices W. Scott Mayo, chorister of the Second Baptist Church, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman pastor, sends out this urgent call to local singers, especially to members of Baptist choirs, as follows: "The Platform meeting of the Lott Carey Convention will be held at the Dunbar High School Friday, September 5th at which time we are hoping to have a chorus of at least 200 voices and we are asking you to join us. Please meet us in rehearsal at the Second Baptist Church, Third between H and I Streets, Northwest, Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, and bring, if you have them, copies of Hallelujah Chorus. Yours for success, W. Scott Mayo, chorister." Those interested in the call are requested to join the chorus at the next meeting and we trust a large number may avail themselves of the opportunity. Gov't Loses First Attempt to Hang Alleged Slayers (Continued from page one.) defense. He told the jury that he did not go upon the lot, but remained near the car with Will Ludley, another defendant, who drove them to the scene. He stated that he had placed his gun under the back seat in the automobile from whence it had been taken by one of the defendants who engaged in the gun-battle with the officers. Joe Slaughter and Will Ludley also took the witness stand each in his own behalf; but Lloyd Monroe did not. In the course of his argument to the jury, Mr. O'Leary referred to the failure of Monroe to testify. He said: "A constitutional right has each defendant to sit silently by and let George do it; let the Government prove this case." Attorney Wampler claimed that this was misconduct and grounds for the judge to withdraw a juror and declare a mistrial, but later this point was not pressed. In the argument to the jury, the lawyers pleaded for their particular clients but were unmerciful on the men whom they did not represent. Attorney John H. Wilson made a remarkable plea for Ernest Brown, whose conviction seem a certainty. Wampler scored the prosecution and claimed that Monroe's identification was not genuine but had been prompted. The Judge's Charge In his charge to the jury, Chief Justice McCoy said that they might find any or all of the defendants guilty of murder in the first degree, which carried with it the death penalty; but not more than one could be convicted of second degree murder. It is thought that this part of the judge's charge resulted in the disagreement of the jury. It was learned after the jury had been discharged however, that they were willing to return a verdict of first degree murder against two of the defendants but could not agree upon a similar verdict or acquittal for the other two. At the direction of the judge, a verdict in favor of the defendants was returned upon the second five counts in the indictment which charged that the defendants while engaged in the commission of a felony had killed the policeman. The prisoners were remanded to jail. They will be again placed on trial under the first five counts in the indictment, which counts cover the charge of murder, probably in October next.

PUZZLE COUPON CURRENT TOPICS Among the notables of the world who are in the foreground at present is Ras Taffari, Prince Regent of Abyssinia. Foreign and American papers and magazines have given much space to this man who is absolute monarch to eight million people in the only large African state not under European rule. It is interesting to read the following article which appeared in the July "Current Opinion." It contains a bit of information that you will be glad to obtain. RAS TAFFARI OF ABYSSINIA Ras Taffari, Prince Regent of Abyssinia, has graciously deigned to visit Europe. Three thousand years ago, Ethiopia was ancient and honored by the other empires of the earth. Yet, with Nineveh, Babylon, Tyre, Egypt, Rome, Tunis, Algiers, Morocco and Turkey reduced to provinces, republics or vassal states, Ethiopia remains herself independent and almost inaccessible, a member of the League of Nations, and the glory of the Negro Race. For, when the Christian Era opened, there was none other greater than Solomon to be found in Judae. And then as now, there was a Queen of Ethiopia, Candace, who governed through a Regent, the famous Ethiopia eunuch who had charge of all her treasure.

Age Grade worship in the Temple of Herod and how on his way home he met St. Philip the Evangelist and was baptized into the Christian faith, is a story familiar to every Sunday School; but the sequel is not so clearly appreciated. From that day onwards, Ethiopia has been reckoned among the earliest of all Christian countries. By the year 330 A.D. she had her Bishop, Frumentius, and her rites are to-day Coptic. She has steadily resisted the invasions whether of Jesuits, desinous of bringing her church within the Roman obedience, or of Moslems, eager for her submission to Mahommed. The gorgeous parade with which Ras Taffari recently visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre had a meaning, deeper than mere display. Over Abyssinia's admission to the League of Nations, there has been some discussion. Thirty years ago, Italy regarded the country as her own. But in 1896, old Emperor Menelik, or as he is called at home, the Negus Negusti, King of Kings, defeated the Italians at Adowa, also beating off the attacks of the Madhi who had swept the British out of the Soudan. This is why Abyssinia remains a nation, and it is a simple fact that, among her 8,000,000 people, all the men can use arms. But, of course, Ethiopia has her little customs, including slavery, which happens to be against the law of the League. What the Abyssinians say is that the slaveraiders or bootleggers in the business are usually British and Italian subjects, doubtless dusky of complexion, but none the less owing al- --- NOTICE L.FILLEN-1924 —Editor Mixed Lines Always Homonyms THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1924 WHO IS YOUR BUDDY?

And this is why Ethiopia is, as it were, the nursery for slaves exported elsewhere. In admitting Abyssinia to the League, the importance of this little technicality had to be, as it were, minimized.

It ended Coolidge’s first year as President of the United States. Reviewing the crowded events that have filled that year, it is noted that there were three important problems dealt with and settled by him which were of particular interest to, colored Americans. ‘They were the selection of a secre- tary ,the putting of an all-colored per- sonnel in charge of the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans’ at Tuskegee, Ala., and the renomina- tion of Walter S. Cohen to be eomp- troller of customs at New: Orleans, Other events of similar interest were the appointment of a commission of colored men to make a study of economic conditions in the Virgin Is- lands and make a report of its findings to the Labor Department, which wouid be used as the basis for legisla- tion to relieve the natives in their distressed conditions; his advocacy in one of his addresses to the Congress of an appropriation of $500,000 to the medical ‘school of Howard University, and his delivery of the commence. ment address at Howard. He al8o urged the Congress to create an inter- racial commission. Upon this record of the first year of the Coolidge regime the colored electorate will be called to pass at the polls in November. ‘There is every indication that the Demwerats in the states in which they seek the support of colored voters will make an issue of the appointment of C. Bascom Slemp as secretary. tc the President. That is assigned as one of the reasons*for the defection o! colored Republicans in Philadelphia 4s well as his faliure to take a stan¢ on the Ku Klux Klan-issue which was put squarely up to him by the Na. tional Association for the “Advance. ment of Colored People. Whatever may have been the dispo. sition of Mr. Slemp prior to his ap- Pointment, he has been most cordial in his reception of colored persons at the White House and in each of these events of President Coolidge’s first year he has played a very large part. President Coolidge himself -sup- Poses that the most important event duriig the year was his nomination.

Bethel Baptist Association ~ Plans Aggressive Campaign of the District of Columbia at its recent annual session in the Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Dr, A, J. Tyler, pas- tor, has created quite an gxcitement in certain Baptist circles in Washing- ton. It is already the strongest Bap- tist organization at the Capital of the Nation and the only organization in Washington that has ail national Bap- tist men in it. It will affiliate with | the National Baptist Convention, in- corporated, Dr. L. K. Williams of Chi- cago, Ill, president, The Mt. Bethel Baptist State Convention is in a class by itself when it comes to doing big things for God. It is not a split as has been charged. The Mt. Bethel Baptist Ministers’ Alliance, which raise dhetween $5,000 and $6,000 to do local work here, especially to help weak churches, has been in existence eight or nine year. Because it did only local work it was not known of- ficially outside of Washington. Rev. S. G. Lamkins was the president. The Alliance changed its name from the Mt. Bethel Baptist Ministers’ Alliance to the Mt. Bethel Baptist State Con. yention of the District of Columbia, for the purpose of doing national as well as local work. I€ is not antago- nistic to any other organization in or Joutside of the city, They have their | work to do and we have ours. | The Mt. Bethel Baptist State Con- vention will give special attention to small churches. None will be too small to join our convention, and none too weak for our convention to assist. Not only aré we willing to help thosc with only five members, but we will | help those with three members if they can show that they are organized and recognized by the Baptist association | We do not despise the day of small | things, we are, mindful of the fact that all of our churches were onc¢ |small and that some of the pastor: who now look down with disdain ;upon small churches seem to forget | that some of the pastors who pre ceded them sacrificed their time anc | money, and some of them their lives | to make places for them to hang theit hats. | We ean say, however, that we have | the largest Baptist churches in Wash- ington as members of the Mt. Bethe | Baptist State Convention. We have five churches in our convention that have a membership of eighteen thous. and Baptists out of the thirty-one thousand Baptists in the District of Columbia, saying nothing» of the | twenty odd other churches connected | with the convention, some of then, have large and flourishing congre- | gations. ‘The Mt, Bethel Baptist State Convention is not fighting the | pastors that are associated with the other conventions here, but they ar not willing to go to their people te ask them for money to help build a | Baptist seminary or any other kind Jof school in Virginia, Arlington County, or to ask their members to pay two prices for small unimproved lots in Virginia or any other place. If any other convention wishes to continue to ask their members to empty their pockets to their’ white friends:for unimproved lots in Arling- ton, Va., they can do so, but the Mt Bethel Baptist State Convention of | the Distriet of Columbia will not have anything to do with it. The several-boards of our conven tion are represented by some of the leading Baptist divines inthe Unitec States. Dr. M. W. D.
