S. A. T. Watkins, of Chicago, is only candidate for Congress on Progressive Ticket WEAK DEFENSE MADE IN CIVIL SERVICE SEGREGATION Vol. 4, No. 20 LETTER OF EXPLA-NATION FALLS SHORT The case of Miss A. L. McGavock, who was flatly refused a position in the Internal Revenue Department, after having received a letter of appointment, at a salary of $1,320 per annum, by I. Y. Bain, is being pressed by The Tribune. The case was presented to Judge McKenzie Moss, an assistant secretary of the Treasury, in charge of the Internal Revenue Department. His version of the case is expressed in a letter of his under date of the 17th, inst. and a reply to that letter is herewith published. This case, along with several others that are on file with The Tribune, have been carried up to the President for his information of the conditions of the government under him. He has stated that there should be no discrimination, no race and no creed in Government. Letter From Judge Moss September 17, '24. Mr. J. A. G. LuValle, The Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. Sir: Referring to your conference with me in regard to the application of Allyne L. McGavock for appointment as stenographer and typist, I have ascertained the facts to be as follows: Allyne McGavock's name was certified to the Bureau August 7th, for a position as stenographer and typist at $1320 per annum; her name having been given as No. 8 in a list of eight names. From this certificate three selections were made and the certificate was closed and her name with the remaining unselected ones, were returned to the Civil Service Commission under date of August 21st. A few days thereafter the Civil Service Commission called Mr. Bain of the Appointment Division and stated that Allyne McGavock was in the city and that if Mr. Bain desired an interview, he might call her. A form letter was sent her suggesting that she call at Room 337 for an interview, which she did. She was informed that the certificate containing her name had previously been returned to the Civil Service Commission and that they would be unable to use her services for the reason that her name had been reported not selected. I further learned that there is at the present time no need of stenographic help, in fact fifteen temporary stenographers were dropped from the service on September fifteenth. Very respectfully, McKENZIE MOSS, Assistant Secretary The Reply Sept. 23, 1924. Judge McKenzie Moss, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: I want to thank you for your letter of the 17th. First, I notice that you fail to use "Mish" before Miss A. L. McGavock's name, while you use "Mr" in speaking of I. Y. Bain. Is this the spirit of your department? Second, You state that Miss McGavock's name was sent to the app pointment division, in a list of eight. That three of the names were selected and the remaining number were returned to the Civil Service Commission as "not selected" on August 21st. "A few days thereafter, the Civil Service Commission called Mr. Bain of the Appointment Division and stated that Allyne McGavock (notice that Miss is left off) was in the city and that if Mr. Bain desired an interview, he might call her." Then you state "A form letter was sent her suggesting that she call at room 387 for an interview, which she did." Why was it necessary to suggest that she call for an interview, to be told "that the certificate containing (Continued on page 3) The Washington Tribune Published Weekly T. E. H. RAYMOND H. MURRAY PIONEER THEATRE MGR. TELLS OF EARLY HISTORY A Short Sketch of the Experiences of Raymond H. Murray, Manager of the Dunbar Theatre By Jay Bee Last Saturday morning, I had occasion to visit the publicity department of the Crescent Amusement corporation, located in the Southern Aid Building. I found "Willie" Walker, the managing editor of this "weekly exposure"—The Washington Tribune—in a confab with the subject of this sketch. Incidentally, or accidentally, Mr. Raymond H. Murray—or just plain "Ray," as I shall refer to him—remarked with the jubilant glee of a tiny tot, "Jay, this is my 15th year in the theatre business, and so far as I know, my business relations with the movie salesmen, theater managers and other kindred agencies are the most amicable and I shall continue to do all in my power to retain the same. "I have always endeavored to please; and at many times have made great sacrifice to give my patrons the best productions at the lowest possible prices; and I am thankful to say that my support has been unstinted. I make this statement, from a deep sense of appreciation." Then our friend hastily jumped up, excused himself and left friend Willie and me in his office where the perpetration of this story originated. The story as best my memory serves me, follows: Ray Murray, printer, carpenter, comnetist, graduate pharmacist, motion-picture operator, fisherman, auto mechanic and at present, the manager of the Dunbar Theater and an officer of the Murray Brothers Printing Company, is one of the race's pioneers in the movie game. This he very modestly admits. His entry dates back to September, 1908, when from his earnings, saved from his connection with the Murray Brothers Printing Co., he operated a CORRECTION In a news article on the front page of this paper last week under the heading "Boy Dead and Another Seriously Wounded in Fight in School Room," a cut perforating to be that of Edward W. Robinson the victim of the fatal incident was used. In the rush to get the edition to the press, the wrong cut was selected and instead of using the cut of Edward W. Robinson, the cut of "Sunny" Robinson a former student at Shaw Junior High school was used. The mistake has caused "Sunny" Robinson much annoyance, because he has to constantly explain to his many friends that he is not dead. The Tribune regrets this error and apologizes to Mr. Robinson and to his family for the embarrassment they have been caused. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 2—The latest clash between the "ily white" and the "black and tan" factions of the Republican party in Shelby County has resulted in a victory for the colored contingent. The speaking engagement of Charles G. Dawes here tonight was canceled because of their opposition. They threatened a retaliation at the polls if General Dawes was permitted to speak here and Negroes were either segregated or excluded from the meeting. The plans for the meeting had all been completed. Invitations had been extended to "ily white" party leaders in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Kentucky to come to Memphis and hear General Dawes. Mayor Paine had agreed to get the auditorium ready. Arrangements for seats for 7,000 persons had been made. The chief of police had outlined the necessary police regulations. John Q. Eaton, local leader of the "ily whites," and his associates had made all necessary preparations for General Dawes's reception and address. Colored Republicans, however, got in touch with the Chicago headquarters and advised against General Dawes speaking here. Everett Sanders, chairman of the Speakers' Bureau of the National Committee, telephoned here and was especially solicited about the seating arrangements for colored persons. He was advised that they would be segregated in the balcony which had been built for that purpose, although the auditorium was built and is operated by the city and county. Then followed the cancellation. The Chicago headquarters announced that the cancellation was on account of "the auditorium here not being sufficiently complete to handle the crowd." The real reason, however, was the threatening attitude of the colored voters, who outnumber white Republicans 15 to 1. Murdered Student Buried Monday Murdered Student Buried Monday Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church for Edward W. Robinson the victim of the knife duel at Armstrong Technical High School last Thursday morning. Notwithstanding that a heavy drizzling rain was falling outside, the church was well filled with relatives, schoolmates of the dead boy, friends of the family, and those who came out of curiosity. As the choir sang, "Oh, Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight," the first heart sobs of his mother were beard. Captain Arthur G. Newman, principal of Armstrong, was the first to make remarks. He expressed the sympathy of the teachers and pupils of Armstrong to the family of the deceased. He said that if this sad occurrence had any lesson, it is "an example to us who are fathers and mothers to stress, in season and out, tolerance to our children for other people's opinion that they must practice when they get out into this great world of ours." The obituary was then read. He was born in Washington on April, 7, 1908, and was a graduate of the graded schools here. He entered Dumbar, but asked to be transferred to Armstrong which was done last Wed- Philadelphia, Pa., It was the consensus of opinion that William H. Lewis, prominent lawyer of Boston, got the better of the argument with J. C. Asbury, member of the State Legislature from Philadelphia, held Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Citizens Republican Club Forum at 15th and Lombard Streets. The Ku Klux Klan and the attitude of the two parties toward the Negro were the subjects under discussion. President Edward W. Henry presided. At the conclusion of the debate, Mr. Lewis was applauded for fully five minutes, and the ovation proved conclusively that his convincing talk had made a most favorable impression. While Mr. Asbury admitted that the Republican Party had not treated the Negro voters fairly, he took the position that the H. O. P. should be given another trial, and expressed hope that its attitude would be better in the event Coolidge was elected. Mr. Lewis told of his efforts in recent months to get the administration to appoint representative Negroes to office, to stamp out segregation in the departments at Washington, and of the scant attentoin paid to his many requests. He argued that only by the division of the vote among colored voters would the race be accorded the consideration to which it was justly entitled. The repeated refusal of the Republican Legislature in Pennsylvania to enact a Civil Rights Act and the failure of the Republican Party to appoint Pennsylvania Negroes to outstanding Federal positions, were significantly referred to amid loud applause. Davis Addresses Race Audience Davis Addresses Race Audience Wilmington, Del.—John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for President, during his visit here Saturday evening, September 27th, spoke before a large audience of Wilmington's colored voters. After his speech at the Playhouse, Mr. Davis was escorted to the National Theatre where he was given an enthusiastic reception by more than a thousand colored men and women. The Presidential candidate was accompanied by Senator Bayard and the leading candidates on the Democratic State Ticket in Deleware. Robert J. Nelson arranged the meeting and presided. Edward W. Henry, President of the Citizens Republican Club of Philadelphia, and one of the first prominent Negroes to come out for Davis, and J. Stewart Davis, a colored attorney of Baltimore, also spoke. MRS. LENA MASON DEAD Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Lena Mason, connectionally known as an A. M. E. evangelist, was found dead in bed at her home. She was buried from Bethel A. M. E. Church this city, Reverend H. P. Anderson preaching the funeral sermon. When Mrs. Mason was found, she apparently had been dead about two days. Mrs. Mason was one of the most successful evangelists of this country. A forceful preacher and a woman of good character, she did much good for her people. nesday and he was killed the next day in an argument over a seat in an overcrowded portable. Six Armstrong cadets served as pall bearers. Interment was in Harmony cemetery. Chicago, Ill.—The only candidate running on the LaFollette-Wheeler Progressive ticket besides these two Senators, is a colored man, Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, who is running for Congress in opposition to Congressman Martin B. Madden. Attorney Watkins has the endorsement of the State organization of Progressives and the full lsupport and backing of the labor group in Chicago. His campaign was formally launched at a big mass meeting held at Wendell Phillips High School last week at which Dr. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation was the principal speaker. Attorney S. A. T. Watkins is a successful lawyer of this city and is chairman of the board of directors of the Douglass National Bank of this city. He is also Supreme Counsellor of the Knights of Pythias and a member of several other fraternal bodies. Perry W. Howard Hits Back Perry W. Howard Hits Back Notwithstanding that William H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant Attorney General under the Taft administration, declined to meet him in joint debate on the issues in this campaign between the two major parties involving the Negro, Perry W. Howard, special Assistant to the Attorney General and Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, let it be known today that he intends to camp on his trail and tell the colored electorate of the real reasons for his flop to the Democratic party. In a statement issued today, Mr. Howard said in part: "In challenging Mr. Lewis, I addressed him as a gentleman. In his reply he descended to the level of the gutter-snipe and the language of a scallion. I know that he was piqued, but had no idea that he was mad. "As for the defeat of the Dyer Antilynching bill, responsibility for that rests with the party whose cause Mr. Lewis now espouses. But I defy any person to show a record of more money spent or activity displayed in behalf of its enactment than mine. Where was he when we were busy working for its passage? "If my mental stature is as low as his worthless opinion would indicate, then it seems he would grasp the opportunity to meet me in joint debate in order to mentally annihilate me in a discussion of the issues involved and not resort to vituperation and billingsgate." District Conference at Trinity The Annual Session of the Washington District Conference is meeting at Trinity A. M. E. Zion Church, Morton Street, near Sherman Avenue, this city, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 1st., 2nd and 3rd. The Rev. J. H. Tucker, presiding Elder, is Chairman of the deliberations.

Grand Jury Indicts Freeman, Holmes and Gross The grand jury last Tuesday indicted James Theodore Holmes, Harry Holmes, Harry William Freeman and John Ambrose for murder in the first degree in connection with the slaying of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger from the rear bumper of an automobile early on the morning of August 28, last. Immunity No indictment was returned against Helen Catherine Jackson, the fourth occupant of the death car, whose statement to the police at the time of her arrest completely solved the mystery. It is understood that she will be used as a Government witness. She will not be released from jail, however, but will be held as a material witness. She will be paid at the usual rate of $1.25 for each day of her retention. There are four counts in the indictment. The first charges that the gun was held in the right hand of Holmes; the second that it was held by Freeman; the third that it was held by Gross, and the fourth that he gun was held in the hands of a certain person whose name is to the grand jury unknown. According to the statement of the Jackson girl, Freeman fired the fatal shot with a gun handed him by Holmes. Gross in a written statement made later corroborated her story of the killing except that he did not see Holmes hand Freeman the gun. Freeman, however, in a written statement denied that he fired the fatal shot. He accused Gross and said that when the shooting began he got on the floor of the automobile. Gross and the girl are sweethearts. Holmes Mute Notwithstanding a severe grilling by the police, Holmes remained mute and would make no statement. He told them that he would talk at the proper time. It is said that the police in an effort to force a confession from him took both of his artificial legs off and beat him up. At the time of the murder there was no clue. A week afterwards a bullet-riddled car was found in a garage in the rear of 1527 Kingman Street; Northwest. The garage owner told the police that it belonged to Holmes. He was taken into custody. It was at first thought that he did the actual killing. Police were later tipped off as to the other occupants of the car. The Jackson girl was arrested. She confessed. Gross and Freeman were taken into custody and made written statements, each accusing the other of firing the fatal shot. Holmes has retained Attorney James A. O'Shea to represent him. Attorney John H. Wilson is representing Freeman. Attorney-Bertrand Emmerson is represeting Gross. The case will probably he tried next month. Professor Kerlin is For Progressives The LaFollette-Wheeler. Progressive ticket every week attracts some new leader of thought and opinion to its banner, according to the records compiled here.

Prof. Kerlin gained national fame Washington's Best Advertising Medium. W. Price 5 Cents REGATION Bury Hatchet DIFFERENCES ARE SETTLED, HARMONY IS RESTORED The suit of Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World against J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, deputy, has been dismissed upon motion of the plaintiff. The reason given by the plaintiff in asking the court to dismiss this suit was that all differences between the parties have been composed. This suit was for an injunction restraining the defendants from suspending, expelling, revoking the charter of, or in any manner interfering with the rights of Columbia Lodge. It grew out of an order on March 31, 1924, from the Grand Exalted Ruler citing the lodge to show cause why it should not be suspended for alleged infractions of the Grand Lodge laws. The lodge claimed that the Grand Exalted Ruler and the District Deputy had entered into a conspiracy to ruin Columbia Lodge financially and numerically and to prevent her delegates from appearing at the Pittsburgh Grand Lodge session. The court cited the defendants to show cause why an injunction should not be issued against them. When the case came on to be heard, a stipulation was entered into by counsel that no act affecting the status of the lodge shall be enforced pending the final hearing on the rule to show cause. In the meantime, the Grand Lodge session was held in Pittsburgh last August. The Columbia Lodge delegates were seated, but the Grand Exalted Ruler in his report took occasion to denounce the lodge. The differences, however, as stated in the motion to dismiss the suit, were composed. Columbia Lodge, it is understood, agreed to recognize the authority of the Grand Exalted Ruler and be governed by the Grand Lodge laws. Mitchell Speaks For LaFollette Mitchell Speaks For LaFollette Mr. Arthur W. Mitchell, prominent real-estate dealer with offices at 1216 U Street, Northwest, has just returned to the city after completing a speaking trip through New Jersey in the interest of the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket In a speech at Newark, N.J., last week, Mr. Mitchell flayed both old parties for their dealings with the Negro. He pointed out that both parties were in agreement as to Negroes, and quoted from an editorial in the Montgomery Advertiser which stated in effect that the South has been able to violate the Constitution only by tacit agreement with the Republican leaders. Mr. Mitchell was well received wherever he went and spoke to large and enthusiastic audiences. as a fighter for right when, as a Professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, he wrote a strong plea to the Governor of Arkansas in behalf be hung for alleged participation in the Elaine riot. For his fair-minded stand in behalf of the Negro, Prof. Kerlin was dismissed from the faculty of this Southern school. He is now teaching in Pennsylvania. He is strong in his endorsement of Senator LaFollette and is urging Negroes to fall in line and vote the Progressive ticket to its first victory in November.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.

Phone, North 10082 O'Leary Defends Coolidge’s Stand A Republican meeting was held at the Dunbar High School last Tues- day night, the-perpose of which was to arouse enthusiasm among the resi- dents of the voteless District of Co- lumbia. = i Louis A. Dent, a prominent attor- ney, who has successfully forecasted ‘the outcome of every presidential election since 1888, predicted the elec- tion of Calvin Coolidge in the coming election. He explained that his meth- od in arriving at a conclusion was first to determine upon the outstand- ing issue of teh campaign. . This year he said, it is the La Follette proposal for the restriction-of the powers af the Supreme Court, An ingenious but fallacious argu- ment as to why President Coolidge had kept silent on the Ka Klux Klan was advanced by James J. O'Leary, an assistant United States Attorney. He said that it was not within the scope of the President's duties to pre- judge an entire prganization. He ar- gued that the outrages perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan were simply viola tions of state laws and that no show- ing had been made that the klan had violated any Federal laws. He took occasion, however, to denounce the klan for its prescription of the Catho- lic on account of religion, the Jew on account of his money making pro- clivities, and thé Negro on account of his color. Other speakers included the Rev. J: C. Olden, pastor of Plymouth Gongre- gational Chureh; J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, and Robert W. Stevens, of Pittsfield, Miss.

Fairfgx sang in English and in Yiddish “Keep Cool with Coolidge.” a Ask For Better Mail Delivery (By Ike Murray) Highly taxed residents equal in ‘every respect to those found anywhere jin the District but residing in the Northeastern section of the city are voicing strong protest at what they call gross discrimination against them ‘concerning the careless manner in which the U. S. mail is handled in that rpeetiont eel Despite the fact that over five years ago the Washington Post Office De- partment promised these residents a delivery from door to door on No- vember the first of that year, no at- tempt thus far has been made to ex- plain just why this improvement has not yet materialized. Citizens express no mild indigna- tion, when approached and asked whether br not they are pleased with the present conditions. Here's the situation briefly: There is one carrier to take care of the territory between Hillbrook, 44th Streets, N.E., and the District Line. The section, being thickly inhabited, has only one delivery and that at no certain time, as the job is too much for any one man. Boxes, of most ‘every description’ imaginbale, are ‘stuck up all along the road, designated as the route and those families, who happen to live some distance away are compelled, when weather is in- clement, to trudge out into it to get their mail or else do without it. It is pointed out that other locali- ties, some more sparsely peopled to not have to do this. Just why the far Northeasteyn su- ‘burb, including Deanwood, Lincoln and Burville each year is denied the ser- jvice of decent mail delivery, is having a somewhat puzzling, effect ‘upon those whe claim an opén viola- tion of the U, 8. Postal laws. »This question is intiting the clos- est attention of the Citizens’ Asso- ciation; business enterprises and other influential forces in this section. So indignant are some of the citi- zens in Northeast, that they are plan- ning to_take the matter up in Con- gress. Jenifer-Jones Nuptials Sarah C. Jones of Grottoes, Va. and Richard M. Jenifer, of Washington D.C., were married Septembebr 25, 1924, by the Reverend Walter H. Brooks, at the residence of the bride’s Aunt, 2140 Newport Place, N.W. Mr. Richard M.

The third game between the Philadelphia Hilldale and Kansas City Monarchs which will be played at Maryland Park, home of the Black Sox, Baltimore, Sunday, October 5, will draw a mob of Washingtonians. The fans are anxious to see teams of their own color contest for the supreme honor and they will exemplify same by journeying to the Monumental City in droves. The game is scheduled to start at 2 p.m., with either "Nimp" Winters or "Script" Lee, two Washington boys, scheduled to toe the slab for Hilldale. Those going to Baltimore on the W. B. and A. line can get off at the first stop in Baltimore and walk to the park which is on the right hand side and can be seen from the car. Those going by automobile turn off the boulevard at the first street after passing the city street car barn. Get in early because Philahelphia fans are bringing a special train and Baltimore fans will be out en masse. LITTLE WORLD SERIES TIED Alexandria, Va.—Last Sunday found the Virginia All-Stars, the local champions, crossing bats with the Lafayettes, in the second game of their five-game series for city championship. The Stars won with a 3 to 1 victory, the affair being a pitcher's duel between Leroy for the Stars and the Lafayette ace, Johnny Harris. Sunday's game was the second game of this series. The first game was won by the Lafayettes 10-2. Both teams feel confident of success, the third game will be played Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on the Lafayette field. The feature of the Sunday game was a running catch in right field by Robert Lee. Brilliant fielding was done by Dean and W. Jackson; Roscoe Russell starred at bat.

RETURN OF VETERANS BRIGHT ENS V. N. I. L HOPES With the first team of last year which was successful in defeating most of their opponents, the problem confronting Coach Sam Taylor, a Richmond, Va., boy, former student at Union and a late star of the first magnitude at Northwestern University in football and baseball, has been considerably lightened. At the beginning of the present season Coach Taylor was quite pessimistic as to the chances of turning out a winning combination, but with the return of Capt. Ross, one of the most dependable backs, old V. N. I. I. has ever had and Coles, Baker, Epps, and Brown in the backfield, and the hot fight being staged between Lee, Cotton, Tynes and Pannell for the line positions, coupled with the advent of some very promising newcomers, and the conversion of the gigantic Lee into a substitute for Smith at center, has gone a long way towards causing the coach to resume his customary smile and attitude of optimism. Puryear, another former Union star, is Taylor's first assistant. Little is known of the strength of the Bennett College eleven that will help to pry the lid off in this town on October 4. WILL MEET HOWARD HERE, OCTOBER 1924 ST. PAUL FOOTBALL SQUAD THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1924 Teddy Bears Win Union League Title CAPTURE FINAL GAME OF TWIN BILL FROM TIGERS By taking the second game of a double-header with the LeDroit Tigers, Sunday, the Teddy Bears won the Union League pennant and closed the 1924 season for that circuit. The determination of the Tigers almost cost the Bears the championship. The twin-bill Sunday was to decide the championship and the Tigers after winning the initial game, 13-8, might have grabbed the six-inning nightcap but for an error by Turner which allowed the Bears to capture the affair, 5-2. The first game found "Lefty" Smith in grand form while Parker who opposed him also went good for a portion of the game. Neither pitcher received airtight support. Barner twirled two innings of the first game and all of the second. The youthful Sam Lacey toed the mound for the Tigers in the finale and might have escaped with the victory but for Turner's error. Hair-raising plays at times featured both games. Fish Barbour and Danny Desport handled the games. The Final Standing W. L. Pet. Teddy bears .....16 4 .800 LeDroit Tigers .....18 6 .750 HEAVY RAIN FAILS TO HALT MOREHOUSE WARRIORS Although it has rained every day, this week, the football squad of fifty huskies have been through their paces daily, on the field in fundamentals, and off in skull practice. The following old men from last year's squad have returned and are showing up well in practice; Archer and Dezon, ends; Richardson and Stewart, tackles; Cooke, Sigler and Latimer, guards; Light and Harrison, quarbacks, and Tondee, Rodgers, Scott Greeg's, and Walker, backs. The rest of the men will arrive the first of the week, including captain-elect Irving, and Alternate Captain Williams. The Morehouse College Students held an impromptu "pep" meeting at Chapel Thursday morning. R. E. Brown, J. W. Lawlah, E. B. Williams and William Burris traced the history of the athletic spirit at Morehouse for the benefit of the new students and aroused great enthusiasm by their fervid appeal for the old Morehouse Spirit as exemplified in the slogan "All for one, and One for al." Before R. E. Brown finished leading the last cheer every new student had caught the spirit. BLUE ENTERS HAMPTON Hampton received the outstanding Armstrong High School football performer of last year in the person of Oscar Blue, captain of the 1923 Tech eleven. While Blue may lack sufficient experience to make the eleven this fall, next year will more than likely find him filling the place of Prindle, present center and captain of the Seasiders.

WIN OPENER Lynehburg, Va., Sept. 30—That Coaches "Whirlwind" Johnson and Hurt have developed a great offensive team at Va. Seminary was proved last Saturday when the locals defeated the Charlottesville eleven. 65 to 0. Charlottesville played a stronger game than the score would indicate; broke up seven of Seminary's attempted forward passes, but could not withstand the heavy consistent bombarding of Capt. Lanier and Governor Brown, nor could she stop the sweeping end runs of Holland, Perry and Edley. While not flashy, Winfield was there in center, holding his own, making one bad pass. Tucker, Scott, McCoy and Polk played fine defensive games. Much credit must be given to the sterling playing of Jesse (Poodle) Williams, quarterback. Though he seldom ran with the ball he was there when it came to running back punts. Scott, diminutive end was the most aggressive player of the team. Moore, playing end for Charlottesville, was the "great gun" for that team. Time and again he smashed through interference and brought down his man. Jones, punter, was a great aid to his team, averaging 50 yards for the day. Seminary is out for vengeance this year and with everybody behind the coaches, will be a stumbling block in any team's path aspiring for the C. I. A. A. Championship this year. Seminary lined up as follows: Scott. R.E.; Polk. R.T.; Tucker, R.G.; Winfield, Center; Quarles, L.G.; Bickerstaff, L.T.; Sledd, L.E.; Williams, Q.; Lanier, F.B.; Brown, H.B.; Holland, H.B.

LINCOLN ADDS TUFT MAN TO COACHING STAFF Active training for the foot ball season of 1924, was begun at Lincoln University this week. Some of the veterans have been on the campus for about ten days, but the major portion of the squad started work with the opening of school on Tuesday. More than fifty candidates reported to Coach Young, and he has a rather husky group to build up this year's team. Captain Crudup; Lancaster, Lee and Goodman are already in good shape. There is some doubt about the return of Morgan, but several large experienced youngsters will be ready to fill his place in case he does not show up. Calloway, the former giant Columbia guard, has come out for practice. He did not play last year because of a bad ankle. Fate seems to be pursuing him for this year he has a bad knee, but he is determined to play at all cost. Coach "Lis" Young is being assisted by "Stys" Woods, former tackle, and "Battleship" Carter who was Lincoln's main stay at right guard for four years. After October 1st, Coach Young will be assisted for the rest of the season by Dr. Harold Martin, who, a few years ago, was star tackle on Tufts's team. Martin has been successfully coaching high school and preparatory teams around Boston for the past several years, and will make a valuable assistant for Coach Young. BUFFALOES PREPARE FOR BIG FOOTBALL YEAR The Buffaloe Athletic Club has announced its entrance into the third big sport of the year. During the winter the Buffaloes placed one of the fastest light-weight basketball quints on the floor in the city. The past summer found the Buffaloes represented in the Union League with a very strong nine. Now the Buffalooes are working out on the gridiron with a championship season in view. The services of S. B. Holmes, a former South Carolina State warrior, has been secured as backfield coach, while Irvine Johnson, who starred at Dunbar will have charge of the linemen. Earl R. "Buck" Williams is again managing the team's affairs and is ready to hear from the Stonewalls, Georgetown Preps, Va. All-Stars, Roamers, Teddy Bears or any team desiring games out of the city. Address Earl R. Williams, 1658 Kesher St., N.E., City. R. Mason is captain of the Northeast aggregation with Gus Bell as his assistant. Both of these men together with others on the squad are well-known to independent football followers. The Buffalooes are anxious to open on October 12, preferably against the Stonewalls or Preps Learn Mechanical Dentistry EARN FROM $35.00 to $125.00 per week Three to nine months' course.

The candidates are being shaped into several evenly balanced teams. They are scrimmaging daily in preparation for the first game of the season with Durham State Normal School, which is some what of an unknown quantity around the "Seasiders" environs. The Hampton team also has its eyes on the second contest with Virginia Seminary and College on October 11, and the eagerly looked for battle with the St. Paul "Tigers" in the Norfolk League Park on October 18. Only one injury has occurred that will take a player out of the game for any appreciable length of time. James Anderson, promising quarterback from Lexington, Ky., has an injured leg. Weather conditions are aiding in the work of putting the team in its fine shape. It is neither too cool for comfort, nor too warm for work. Several combinations have been worked out by the coaches. There is room for uncertainty as to the team which will take the field in the first game. Intensive training in all departments of the game, including blocking, dummy-tackling, starting, passing, kicking, blackboard work, signal drills, pushing-the-buck, and scrimmaging, has been the program of the coaches. LINCOLN "LIONS" IN GOOD SHAPE FOR BORDENTOWN By Lincoln's Editorial Bureau Lincoln University, Sept. 30—The outlook for a strong varsity this year is grand. Of last year's squad, the following backfield men are showing splendid form: "Jazz" Byrd, Lee, W. S. Taylor, "Bal" Taylor, Goodman, and Stratton. Speed is the one essential thing needed. The coaching staff is preaching speed daily to the warring candidates. The loss of the entire line from tackle to tackle has given the coaching staff its greatest worry. From all indications, however, the following old men have determined to show that in them an impenetrable wall can be developed: Henry of N. J., Wilson, formerly of Wilberforce, Myers of Norfolk, and Gresty, the Chester High School star. The ends will be managed by the veterans, Tad Lancaster and "Beno" Crudup, R. G. Scott, Goodman, Miller and Strickland are looming up as aggressive and swift substitutes at end. The Coach has a large number of ambitious candidates for the squad who enters Lincoln this fall for the first time. New men showing ability as line men are: Slade, the All-American star from Union, McCloud of Bennett College, Toodle and Rainey of Storer College, Anderson, the fast backfielder from Sewickley, Pa., S. H. Paul of Baltimore, and several others of prominent ability. The quarterback position will probably be picked from the following players, W. S. Taylor, the windy star of last year's varsity, "Bal" Taylor, the brainy substitute on last year's squad, Hughes and Brown—all of last year's squad. There are signs that indicate in their playing that Preston of W. Va., and Hibbler of Arkansas Baptist College will run the above men a close race. ROAMER A: C.

DRAKE AND WALKER AT HOWARD The big attraction at the Howard Theatre next week will be Drake and Walker's Bombay Girls in their new show, "The Girl from Philadelphia." This show according to advance THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 notices is the biggest to play this popular house this season. It carries its own band and a large cast of stars. The show is brimful of comedy. Another record crowd is expected to attend this show. "ROMPIN' THRU" IS SOME SHOW It's a riot! marvelous; wonderful; a scream; a knockout; a humdinger; a mithful concoction of song, laughter and amazement; all of these inadequately convey our impression of the Whitman sisters' famous musical revue "Romin' Thru" at the Howard Theatre this week. Indeed these famous sisters who have long since made show history, have simply gone old man "Perfection" himself, one better. "Romin' Thru" is clean; it is entertaining and above all, it is inspiring. It proves that a good show can be put together without the aid of slap stick, vulgarity and raggedy clothes. Alice, Essie and "Bert" Whitman are all good and we hardly know to which one to give the most praise. But little five-year-old Albert Palmer Whitman, son of Alice, must be acknowledged as being the greatest star in the aggregation. Words fail to adequately describe his wonderful ability. With proper education and proper care for his health, this "boy wonder" will some day write his name in the brightest lights on Broadway, and carry the mantle of Williams and Walker to greater achievements than these famous actors ever dreamed of. Miss Bernice Ellis, prima donna, more than lived up to her nomenclature "the Oklahoma song bird." Besides possessing a voice of rare attainment, she carries a poise and balance that is commanding, and a personality that is compelling. This show is easily the best to play at the Howard this year. It has set a standard that will go hard for other shows to attain. With the exception of the three men whose parts were not major by any means, the cast is made up of women and children. WELL YOU HEARD WHAT THE MAID SAID: AN'IF THAT DON PROVE THAT I'M INCENT THERE AINT ANY NEED FOR ME TO ARCUE ANY FURTHER. SO I CUES IT'S TIME FOR ME TO BE GOING BE-CARO 2 Sues Husband For Divorce Through Attorney John H. Wilson, Mrs. Monsae De Louvpre Clark, of 58 I Street, Northeast, has filed suit against her husband, Samuel Wilcox, Clark, of 1809 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, for an absolute divorce. Mrs. Clark alleges misconduct on the part of her husband with an Alice Jones, whom she names as co-respondent. This alleged misconduct is said to have been committed at various times and places, particularly during the year 1924 and at her husband's residence. She states in her petition that she is forced to earn her living as a day laborer and support a minor child of a former marriage, although her husband has an income of more than $200 a month from a trucking and ice business, in which he is engaged. She asks the court to grant her temporary alimony pending the outcome of this suit. The couple were married by Rev. Van Fossen here in March, 1917. They lived together at 1116 First Street, Northeast, until March 13, 1920, when he deserted her, she claims. DO NOT BE A "STAY-AT-HOME" DURING THE COMING ELECTION By E. B. Gumbs Statistics have shown that fifty per cent of the voters stayed at home on election-days; while the other fifty per cent did the voting, which proved very often to be unsatisfactory to those so-called "stay-at-homes" whose hopes were for the opposite party. But, of course, these "stay-at-homes" would say, "We will never stay at home from the polls another election-day; but, will be true, honest, and earnest, thinking citizens." Yet, every election-day would find them at home, thinking of everything else but the polls; many of whom would say, "O, why should we worry or care who is elected, since we are benefited no more by one than the other." That is very good and true, but the right is a national one, and it is yours to use therefore, use it in a way which will prove most advantageously for the people and you. I have often heard one say, "I which I had not cast my ballot for the Democrats, because they have not lived up to their promises," and the same has been said of the Republicans. This is very true, simply because the people were influenced by caliginous materiality, in the form of money and other-wise, which proves to be cajolery. Do not cast your ballot unknowingly; but note with cogitation the three parties and their platforms: The things that each party stands for; in which party your interest is found; which party is fundamentally true to your requirements and needs; which party will make you less dependent and more independent; thereby, putting an end to mistakes and regrets. COME OUT EVERY MAN AND EVERY WOMAN, CLAIM YOUR NATIONAL RIGHT AT THE POLLS confluently in your choice that the dependents might become more independent through progressiveness!

Secretary Wilbur is partially correct when he says that one issue in American politics, and the issue since the division between the Republican, and that is the issue of the one officially informed of the important greatest nation in the world. We have the color question" was the forte of the South. Now we are officially informing this great civilized and superb to the extent that "there is only politics."

The record will show that as much race prejudice as the Democrat, the Ku Klux Klan on account of its as much or more than the Democrats.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5c per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request SECRETARY WILBUR'S UNDELIVERED SPEECH Possibly the greatest sensation of the present campaign, was the making public of the undelivered speech of Secretary Wilbur of the Navy. The speech, as published, plainly demonstrates that there are white men in this country, who, if left alone, would speak their true sentiments on the predominating racial prejudice of this country, regardless of the political effect. The Secretary is partially correct when he says: "The fact is there is only one issue in American politics, and has been only one great issue since the division between the Republican and Democratic parties, and that is the issue of the Negro." Here we are officially informed of the important position we hold in this, the greatest nation in the world. We have long since known that "the color question" was the forte of the Democratic party of the South. Now we are officially informed that racial prejudice dominates this great civilized and supposedly Christianized country to the extent that "there is only one issue in American politics." Secretary Wilbur's undelivered speech increases the importance of the President's failure to denounce the Ku Klux Klan, the one national organization that has done and is doing the most to foster racial prejudice and thereby enhance the "only one issue in American politics." We cannot agree with Secretary Wilbur that "the issue of the Negro," or racial prejudice, is now the "one issue" that divides the Democratic and Republican parties. We would say that the Negro is the ONE ISSUE in America in society, education, religion, industry and politics. The record will show that the Republicans have just as much race prejudice as the Democrats. They have accepted the Ku Klux Klan on account of its political power in the North, as much or more than the Democratic party has in the South. The Republicans have segregated and are segregating the Negro just the same as did the Democrats. They are refusing to appoint Negroes to Civil Service positions and will not promote efficient employees who are already in the service. The Republicans segregated Negroes at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, although a Negro appeared on the program and notwithstanding the grandiloquent manner in which they try to keep Lincoln's memory before the Negro. Here in Washington, the colored citizens are segregated and discriminated against by the Republicans in public buildings and on public grounds. In Secretary Wilbur' own navy department and in the navy itself, the Negro is an issue and is refused admission into the navy in positions above that of the cook "galley." And, of course, the Republicans will not admit a Negro to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The Secretary cited a case where the Negro is an issue in the Portsmouth Navy Yard, which is directly under his charge, but he, as a good Republican, has not abolished the humiliating discrimination by an order to remove the signs "colored" from the drinking water receptacles in his navy yard at Portsmouth, Va. Therefore, we would go Secretary Wilbur one better and say the Negro question is a big issue in America. However, we do not say that it should be. And we do say that since it does exist, its importance only accentuates the hypocrisy and falseness of the white man in his vaunted civilization and Christianity. It is all bosh.

Its best friends are those who bring it or to keep it in harmony with the human Every year about this time our colleges call the young generation. Each year the call has been answered by increasing numbers. Each year there is a seemingly diminished understanding of the reasons why the call is being answered. The recent report of the American Classical League creates a faintly disquieting sidelight upon young America's attitude toward education. A study of this report show that the majority of high school seniors take Latin merely because it is a "required unit" to enter college, while about 19 per cent do so because "parents or guardian insist." Although these are only high school students, it is all, we fear, a little like that; for there are a surprising number among our college men who can be found, after graduation. (I. L. Parker) that "do not know what it is all about." Some feel that our colleges are not worth the investment. This feeling, however, is more active inside than outside of our colleges. It may be less the fault of the colleges than their misfortune. Two traditions, which are no longer quite applicable, seem to affect them. One is the survival in the popular mind of the medieval view of a college as a vocational school prerequisite to the entrance into certain special and desirable vocations; but the Middle Ages never conceived the idea that a college education might assist in a profession like robbery. The second tradition is that the social ills of the world are to be solved by universal education. Neither of these views have the desired effect; yet our colleges have been founded under the combined expectation that they will train any kind of man to make a desirable living and at the same time will train the world to solve all its own problems. Little wonder freshmen are uncertain of their intentions and graduates disappointed in the results. However hard it may be, a realistic view toward our colleges is as much needed as one toward anything else. We have been taught that our Constitution is the bulwark of our liberties and the protector of our freedom. It is the instrument which prevents a chance majority from restricting the fundamental rights that all freemen should enjoy. To this end, have been set apart certain human rights as being inalienable, so that chance majorities or local authorities may legislate on matters that do not infringe on these constitutional rights, while requiring a much larger expression of public approval than is evidenced by a chance majority in order to change or amend our Constitution itself. In theory this is ideal. To keep it ideal, we must beware of falling into the error of regarding the Constitution as something too sacred to touch. Its value lies in its responsiveness to human needs. Unless it can be modified from time to time so as to keep it a true reflection of the deeper principles of fundamental rights as conceived by the mass of our citizenship, it will inevitably cease to be of value to us. Our Constitution has no greater enemies than those who would abolish it altogether or those who would blindly retain it exactly and always as it is. Its best friends are those who are seeking to bring it or to keep it in harmony with the human needs of to-day Dr. E. G. Evans. Both Mr. Walker and Mrs. Evans recevied great applause. The next alumni meeting will be held in Library Hall on Saturday evening October 11, 1924, two months before the next election of officers. TEACHERS OF TENTH DIVISION HEAR PROMOTION PLAN Last Saturday morning teachers of the tenth division got a thorough idea as to what a real promotion meant when assignments were made and of advantage gained under the new plan over the old one. Superintendent Wilkinson, who was the speaker for the occasion, stressed very plainly the fact that there was no distinction now as far as salary was concerned between the teacher of the first grade and the one assigned to the eighth. There are various classes in the present salary scale, however he continued, which determines the teacher's efficiency and it is greatly upon this principle that the promotion of a teacher depends rather than the grade she teaches.

Adams DEVELOPING CONCENTRATION IN THE CHILD One evening this week the writer had the surprising pleasure of hearing some children sing at bed time in a home on V Street, Northwest; while passing. We were positively struck with the harmonious blending of voice in these youthful singers and paused to inquire, afterwards learning they were Norman Gaskins, Harry and Joseph Keyser. Their little song was entitled "The Narrow Way is the Happy Way" and it would have done credit to elder singers. Norman, 12 years, sang the soprano and Harry, 12 years, second voice with Joseph, 14 years, singing third voice and their melodies filled the air with such charming harmony that we will not forget it soon. The direct result of this proficiency in song lies in the development of the powers of concentration. . . concentrated attention, and we would stress this fact just now for the benefit of others. The common form of attention is little more than a physiological function, a nervous response to a sense stimulus. This, termed by psychologists involuntary attention, is a salient characteristic of childhood; the young answer only sensory appeals to the attention; and many grown people remain children in this respect. Development of the faculty of voluntary attention is a fundamental requisite in education. No considerable progress can be made in mental development without it. Mere consciousness is no more attention than a sound is necessarily musical. Oppenheim defines real attention as "that faculty of the mind by which it picks out one special thing and grasps its Use the Proven Hair Grower HEROLIN POMADE HAIR DRESSING lengthens and straightens the hair, stops falling hair and dries druff and brings new beauty to hair and new health to the scalp.

Necessarily, attention precedes understanding; it may precede even interest, though with the youngest children teachers have to fix attention by arousing interest. With pupils sufficiently mature to appreciate the scientific phase of mental action, attention may be used to awaken interest and the latter, in turn, will augment attention. As illustration present any familiar object usually considered of slight importance, and ask the pupil to give you a moment's attention while you tell him half-a-dozen wonderful things about the hitherto little known object. In a few moments the attention will be voluntary instead of forced, and interest may even cause spontaneous investigation by the pupils. The more attention the greater the interest, the greater the interest the greater the attention. This action and reaction make it possible to train either faculty to incredible proficiency, and as I have said, voluntary attention is the key to mental growth and education. There is only one way to develop any mental power or faculty, and that is by use. The immateriality of our mental assets leads many to underestimate their responsiveness to training, too much is credited to heredity surement. There is nothing we can tell with a tape-line just how much bulk we have added to biceps or thigh by a year's exercise, but our mental "muscles" are less amenable to measurement. There is nothing we can grasp, no tangible something to lay hold of a basis of work, and too many give up, saying, "O, he is a natural genius I could not hope to equal his ability." But genius itself has been defined as "infinite capacity for taking pains," and Helvetius said that it was "only pronged attention." After showing that attention is of primary and immeasurable value, indispensable to the mastery of other mental forces and graces, and that it is cultivable, we have to induce the start—for only such as we DO counts, the dynamics of knowledge, not its static contraction. Pupils should first be shown the use of attention in their play. Point out the significance of their preference and their greatest prowess running in the same line, collaterally. If a boy sprints better than he puts the shot, he is more interested in the former; but it may easily be shown that this interest was a cause of the preference, as well as an effect. From this you will find it but a short step to broader application of the principle. Your first difficulty will be in teaching the negative side of attetio—how to shut out distracting thoughts. This is not impossible for children, as some have argued, but it does require intelligence, patience ad some knowledge of the psychology of youth on the teacher's part. Forcing the attention may be easily overdone. Teachers should provide for frequent relaxation, and furnish a variety of objects for the faculty's exercise. Material objects are best in the beginning, but later historical research and abstract themes may be used. Mathematics and logic have been recommended as good developers of attention. Any proposition calling for analysis or synthesis necessitates mental application, and returns rewards in proportion to the degree of that attention. Next week we shall continue the discussion of this topic. SUPERINTENDENT WILKINSON HOLDS IMPORTANT CONFER- ENCE. SCHOOL OFFICIALS GET ORDERS AFFECTING NEW ORGANIZATION Last Saturday morning was conference day in Superintendent Wilkinson's office at Franklin School. Mr. Wilkinson gave to the variuos certifying officials, connected with divisions 10-13, specific instructions, pertaining to the organization adjustments, governing the new school year. The introduction of the "block system" was the feature of the occasion and was especially helpful in view of the fact that there were separate conferences held for the purpose of each group in attendance becoming better acquainted with what must be expected to bring the department under supervision up to the best standard. Superintendent Wilkinson also expressed a desire that uniformity of method, as far as possible, be the chief aim this year, so as to keep down confusion in orders and any other irregularity that might take place in the transmission of official business. Those present were: the Supervising Principals, Senior and Junior High School Directors, Vocational School Principals and Heads of various departments. The meeting was enthusiastic and well attended.

I stepped aside and let it pass, And it was soon hid in the grass. I didn't try to step on it, I wouldn't hurt it—not a bit. Suppose I were a worm like that, I wouldn't care to be mashed flat! I think perhaps he had a right To crawl out in the sunshine bright, As much as I to run and play, And so I let him go his way. —Our Little Ones THIS WEEK'S PUZZLES ginsden ni het wresnas ot sit k'sewe The letters in the words in the line above are mixed.

Here he met with unprecedented success until near the close of the season, when his temporary amusement structure was destroyed by fire, thereby incurring tremendous hardships, which he later overcame. However, after much effort, he was able to set up a camp until he was able to secure a dilapidated row-boat, pack up his effects, including an old square piano and some major parts of an old Powers' No. 6, moving-picture machine, and paddle his way home. At this point, it might be interesting to note that during all these "dark days," George Battle, now organist at the Lincoln, and James Lee, now manager of the Broadway Theater, were both his close adherents, each believing that a brighter day would surely dawn.

OPEN NIGHTS The Washington Tribune ic, reminds me of his natural business proclivities as they were exhibited during his early boyhood days. In the early days of motordom, very early indeed, Ray through much self-denial, obtained possession of an early model Oldsmobile, one of those two-seated affairs which had a dash-board that resembled the letter "C" made backward and a fly-wheel that was wound up from the side, and a lever in the center with which to steer the "buggy." Shortly after the acquisition of the aforesaid "buggy," a camp-meeting was in progress near Alexandria, his birth-place, and many hundreds of people were in attendance. Wagons, buggies, surries, one-horse shays, and everything on wheels were being used to haul the vast crowds to and from this meeting. A bright idea struck our friend. Having a carpenter's turn of mind, and being imbued with a power to master almost any mechanical situation, he built a body to fit the chassis—if chassis it was called at that time—equipped it with pine-board seats, and began what was possibly the first motor bus service in the state of Virginia. At any rate, when required to get auto license, the state in Debt me on the grindstone. should NOT have you pass thru a CAN obtain from Funeral Home WESTMINSTER Sts.

SS PARK will call for you any day that The Moving Van under construction that can be SEE OR was forced to employ a sign painter to make the license tag, one of the first to be issued in the state of Virginia. Ray did well for a time. This rapid transit conveyance was a pay-as-youenter contraption and it was also a one-man car. One Sunday, the "motorman" while en route to the camp meeting, when near the entrance to the arbor-covered meeting place, lost control of his "steed." Like a bold, daring roughrider, he clung to his steering post, while the machine dashed madly up the aisle upsetting comfortably-seated worshippers and ended its mad dash by upsetting the collection table much to the dismay of the "precipitators" of the gathering. When friend Raymond recovered, he found himself, digging deeply into his "breeches" and separating himself from the entire receipts for the day—and then some. This incident, I believe closed his career as a motor bus operator—that is, so far as the hauling of a large number of people is concerned. Even to this day, he still is a firm believer in motor transportation; for, according to the budget records of the Crescent Amusement corporation, he is now preparing his 8th "baby Lincoln" for the wreck pile. Kindly pardon my retrogression. Continuing our narrative—coming to Washington possibly in October, the exact date not recalled, he passed a specially prepared motion-picture operator's examination, a very rigid concoction of formalities. Having secured a license, he proceeded to organize the Hiawatha Theater company, which, as the records will show, occupied the first structure to be built for use as a theater for Negroes in the United States. The other members of the company were W. H. Easley, Samuel A. Keyes and F. Morris Murray. This project being an experimental proposition, due naturally to the fickleness of the public and other causes, brought about many discouraging situations. But, Ray still believing that every dark cloud has a silver lining, kept pluggin' away in an effort to keep up the morale of the investors. The Hiawatha was located on 11th Street, near the corner of U Street, on a site now occupied by a large billboard. When, after many discouragements, it was finally decided to abandon the project, our pioneer came forward with a proposition, whereby, he agreed to operate the moving-picture machine, manage the theater, carry the reels to and from the exchange and keep the theatre in a sanitary condition. These duties he agreed to perform for the munificent sum of $12.00 per week. It is probable he would have undertaken to sell the tickets also, had not Miss Irene Middleton shown such undaunted courage in the project. Through the efforts of the manager-operator-janitor, Mr. T. Spencer Finley, now deceased, was engaged to furnish vaudeville specialties in conjunction with the regular picture program. Mr. Finley, being an unusually versatile vaudeville performer, the innovation marked the dawn of the long-looked-for day. Business picked up. There was wide interest manifested and it was not long before many of the regular patrons were dubbed "movie bugs." Though from time to time, there have been fluctuations in the original "movie bug" membership, there are many, who still make their weekly pilgrimages to Ray's present theatre, the Dunbar. The apparent success of the Hiawtha served as an impetus to other persons of our group who were considering a similar proposition. During this successful period, the Minnehaha, later the Dudley Theatre on U Street, was opened by the Hiawatha company. Following its opening, came the opening of the Maceo, at 11th and U Streets, by Mr. Childs and the Dabney Theatre, at 9th and U Streets, by Mr. Ford Dabney, both of which flourished until the advent of the Howard theatre. Later, Ray acquired control of the Foraker Theatre, on 20th Street, (now being operated by Mr. George Martin) which he operated until pressure of business made it necessary for him to devote his entire time to the interests of the Dumbar. Due to sheer pluck and the unswerving loyalty and support of its patrons and its efficient staff of employees, the Dumbar is still in operation at the corner of 7th and T Streets. Ray says: "We are here to stay. If you doubt us, watch us ten years from now."
