NEGROES WIN AND LOSE AT POLLS First in Local Circulation. NEGR CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS LOSE IN N.Y. & CHICAGO With all of the election returns in, President Calvin Coolidge has been elected by a record vote. Along with him, was elected a Republican Senate and House. Senator Robert M. La Follete, who ran as an Independent Progressive, carried only one state and that was his home state of Wisconsin. Senator La Follette was supported by a number of Negroes. John W. Davis, running as the Democratic candidate, possibly received more Negro votes than any Democratic candidate ever received in a national election. Thousands of votes were cast for him by Negroes in northern states. However, he was able to carry only the rock-ribbed southern states. The saddest feature of the election was the defeat of the two Negro congressional candidates. Dr. Charles Roberts in New York City, was conceded to have an excellent chance of being elected. However, in the avalanche of Democratic votes in that city, Dr. Roberts was snowed under, although his district, the 21st, is largely Negro, or merchants who derive their support from Negroes. Atty. S. A. T. Watkins, running as a Progressive in the 1st district of Illinois, which has been represented by Mr. Madden, was also knifed by the Chicago voters. In the state legislature races, several Negro candidates were successful. Henri W. Shields was returned to the Assembly as a Democrat. Brandon in New Jersey running a Democrat was defeated. The fate of the Negro candidate in Indiana is unknown, but it is believed he lost. Candidates in Illinois, West Virginia, and possibly Ohio, were successful. COPELAND CASE MAY GO TO U. S. SUPREME COURT The decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, affirming the judgment of the District Supreme Court in finding Herman L. Copeland guilty upon a charge of murder in the first degree for the killing of Police Lieutenant David T. Dunigan on May 21, 1918, will probably be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Not Sufficient Error In reviewing the case the Court of Appeals found no error sufficient to warrant a reversal of the lower court and the granting of a new trial. Nevertheless it was of the opinion that certain language of the district attorney was improper and reprehensible. In his argument to the jury, Henry Lincoln Johnson of counsel for the defense contended that Copeland was not callous but exceedingly regretted the necessity of taking life in self defense. In rebuttal to this line of argument the district attorney said: "If Copeland had a gun right now, gentlemen of the jury, I submit to you he would not hesitate to kill every one of you twelve men." Defense counsel interposed an objection and asked that the court declare a mistrial. The judge refused. This was assigned as error. On this particular point, the Court of Appeals said: "We think that the language in Cop The Washington Tribune M. Published Weekly First Negro ALBERT WIFE SLAYER MUST GO TO GALLOWS WIFE SLAYER MUST GO TO GALLOWS Ralph Thomas, alleged wife-murderer, must pay the supreme penalty for his crime, the Court of Appeals declared this week. It found no error in his case of a sufficient nature to warrant a new trial. Thomas is alleged to have slashed his wife's throat from ear to ear. He and his wife were estranged. They met at the home of her brother. He invited her and a party to accompany him to his room. He told her he wished to give her $10 and a tablecloth. The party went by automobile. Thomas and his wife entered the dwelling arm in arm. The party drove off. Later she was found with her throat slashed. Bed clothes and pillows were piled on top of her. question was improper and reprehensible, but the court's immediate admonition to the jury, together with the careful and comprehensive instructions contained in the general charge, lead us to sustain the action of the trial court in refusing to declare a mistrial on that account, or to grant a new trial because thereof." Rightfully Admitted The admission in evidence of the detailed and circumstantial statements of witnesses relative to the first homicides and the location of the bodies of the slain men when found by the officers and viewed by witnesses was also assigned as error. Counsel for Copeland contended that it did not appear that the bodies had remained in the same position from the time they fell and that the details concerning the first homicide improperly tended to inflame the minds of the jury against the defendant. The court, however, did not think that these conditions were supported by the record. The Court of Appeals also found no error in the statement of the trial court that evidence concerning the first homicide was admitted in part to show the motive which actuated Copeland when he fired at Dunigan. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1924 (Courtesy Crispus Attucks Press Assn., formerly Y.M.P.A.) LOCAL ALUMNI OF HOWARD UNIV. TO MEET SATURDAY The local Howard University Alumni Association will hold its regular meeting in Library Hall, University Campus on Saturday November 8, 1924 at 8 o'clock, p.m. This will be the last meeting before the annual election in December. Alumni intending to participate in the election are planning to attend and qualify so as to be fully eligible to vote in December. Other plans are to be perfected concerning the activities of the local association during the Thanksgiving holidays. A lively meeting is expected. A large number of local graduates are concerned over the alleged encroachment on the provinces of the General Alumni Association by persons not elected or responsible to the said association. One graduate stated last week "Such tyranny justifies an insurrection." The Lincoln-Howard game on Thanksgiving is the leading event in athletics in the university and will draw a record attendance this year. The local association will see after the comforts of visiting alumni and assist in making the occasion an enjoyable one. LEAVES FORTUNE TO POOR Carthage, Mo., Nov. 6—A trust fund of $100,000, the interest from which is to be used by the City of Joplin for the relief of the "deserving poor of the city, without regard to race, religion or color," was left to that city by Gilbert H. Barbee, retired Joplin newspaper publisher and Democratic political leader, who died October 17. The will was filed in Probate Court here this afternoon. The $100,000 at present is in government bonds. The will directs that the principal be perpetuated by reinvestment in other United States Government bonds. CHICAGO ELECTS NEGRO JUDGE Chicago, Ill.—For the first time so far as known here, a Negro has been elected a judge of an American court of record. He is Albert B. George, elected Tuesday to the Municipal Court of Chicago. The first Negro ever to sit in the Illinois State Senate also was elected. He is Adelbert H. Roberts. Roberts formerly sat in the lower house. George attended school in Washington, D.C., studied law in the office of a white attorney in Altoona, Pa., and afterward was graduated from Northwestern University Law School. George received 435,664 votes while Roberts received 23,963. LAWYERS WAGING BITTER FIGHT IN MURDER CASE At every turn the Government is meeting with stubborn legal resistance in its effort to convict James T. Holmes, Harry W. Freeman and John A. Gross of first degree murder in connection with the killing of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger from the rear of an automobile on the night of August 28, last. Admissibility of Evidence Their fate will be largely determined by the decision of Chief Justice McCoy upon the admissibility of material evidence which the prosecuting attorneys are seeking to put into the record over the objections of defense counsel. It is probable that the Nash automobile, from the rear of which it is alleged the officer was slain, will be excluded and the jury told to disregard all testimony relating to it. Attorney James A. O'Shea contends that it was illegally seized. The most damaging evidence thus far adduced was the testimony of Helen Catherine Jackson. She was one of the occupants of the car on the night of August 28. She was not indicted, however, but was held as a material witness. She testified that the quartet met at Seventh and S Streets, Northwest. She was with Gross, her sweetheart. They got into Holmes' car and drove first to Fenton Street, Northwest, and from there to several other places. They finally stopped on P Street near North Capitol. Holmes and Freeman got out of the car and went into the alley and returned later with a pint of corn whiskey, she said. All three of the men took a drink. They drove off. At the corner of North Capitol and P Streets, as the car started to turn, the policeman attempted to jump on the running board but missed it. He jumped on the rear end. "Holmes started driving faster," she testified, "and after he started driving Freeman looked out of the back of the car and said 'somebody is on.' "The policeman started shooting. He shot before they turned into I Street, shot while it was on North Capitol twice, and then Holmes wanted to know who was shooting and Freeman answered and said that the police was shooting, and he said 'Well, wait a minute.' He says, 'I'll fix him.' And he started to pull something in the front of the car where he was sitting, and then he asked, 'Is he still on the car?' and he said, 'Well, here, take this,' and he hands him a gun and Freeman takes the gun, standing half way up, bent over like, fires three times through the back of the car, and then he said—Holmes asked him was he still on the car, and Freeman said, 'Wait a THE BANK DR. W. A. PETHEL FATAL VICTIM OF RECKLESS DRIVER Police have been unable to find any clue that would lead to the arrest of the autoist whose car struck and killed Dr. William A. Pethel, a dentist, Hallowe'en night. Dr. Pethel was knocked down and run over by an automobile at Thirteenth and U Streets, Northwest, about 7:30 in the evening. He was removed to Freedmen's Hospital in a taxicab and was pronounced dead upon arrival by Dr. L. H. Brown. Dr. Pethel lived at 1904 Ninth Street Northwest. He had offices at 1845 Fourteenth Street, Northwest. He was 54 years old. JANITOR HELD ON CHARGE OF MURDER Charles E. Monroe, 40, janitor of the West School, was held for the action of the grand jury by a coroner's jury last Tuesday in connection with the shooting of his wife, Mrs. Lucinda Monroe, 45, early Sunday morning at 4235 Dix Street, Northeast. Mrs. Monroe died Tuesday morning at Casualty hospital from a wound in her stomach. According to witnesses, Monroe was being sued for divorce by his wife and came to her residence with a gun and threatened to shoot both her and the man who was there. He fired and fatally injured his wife. He left the scene but was later arrested on the street in Southeast Washington. HOLD AUTO DRIVER FOR MAN'S OEATN Russell Anderson, 1516 Q Street, Northwest, and Bernard Ransom, 1211 Six on One-half Street, Northwest, were ordered held for the action of the grand jury by a coroner's jury last Tuesday in connection with the death of Joseph Powell, 35 years old, of 145 T Street, Northwest. Powell was killed when struck by an automobile, in which it is alleged the men were riding. It happened last Saturday at New Jersey Avenue and S Street, Northwest. According to the story told by witnesses, Anderson was driving the car and Powell was operating a smoke screen. They were being chased by police of the Second precinct who suspected them of rum-running. Ransom is held as an accessary. Anderson has not yet been arrested. Office: 920 U St., N.W.

ALLEGED DOPE PEDDLERS GET A NEW TRIAL In a decision handed down last Monday, the Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the District Supreme court and remanded the case of Maude P. Schencks, alias Maude Briscoe, for a new trial. In this case the court found that on April 5, 1922, a revenue agent had procured a search warrant by filing an affidavit before a United States Commissioner, saying that he had reason to believe that she was selling dope. The search warrant was executed and the agent seized 17 vials of cocaine, a number of capillaries containing cocaine, two marked dollar bills, $497 in bills, $30 in gold and various articles of jewelry valued at $650. On April 28, 1922, the grand jury returned an indictment charging her with violation of the Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act. When she was brought to trial, a motion was made to squash the search warrant on the ground that it was void inasmuch as there was no reasonable or probable cause shown for its issuance. The motion was denied. She was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. The case was appealed. The court held that affidavits or depositions which simply state that the affiant or deponent has reason to believe or does believe that a crime has been or is being committed are insufficient to support a search warrant, and any search warrant issued on such affidavits or depositions is invalid. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. OLLS ELECTION NIGHT SERVICE OF THE TRIBUNE, BIG HIT A monster crowd enjoyed the election returns as given out by The Tribune in front of its office, 920 U Street, Northwest, last Tuesday night. The service given the puble was not exceeded by any newspaper office in Washington, white or colored. A special leased wire over United Press from New York City, brought all the returns directly into The Tribune's office. The various dispatches were then edited and turned to a corps of slide writers. From the slide writers the slides went to the giant stereopticon machine where they were flashed on the big screen. The service given by The Tribune on this occasion, has never been duplicated by any other colored newspaper. A complete telegraphic outfit had to be rigged up to receive the news. Construction of the projection machine was under the supervision of Fred Pellham and Raymond Murray. A number of prominent business men also shared in the success of the entertainment. Among them were: Mortimer M. Harris, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Dr. Robert McGuire, John T. Rhines, S. H. Dudley, Dr. George H. Herriot, Atty. Perry W. Howard, Addison N. Searlock, Atty. John Wilson, The Southern Aid Society, Murray Brothers Ptg. Co., Prudential Bank, The Federal Life insurance Co., The Murmur and others.

"The idea of a nation-wide system of exclusively municipal employment offices seems little less than chimical. Our observations indicate that the choice of staff in employment offices administered by the municipality has been more influenced by political considerations than that in offices operated either by the state or by the federal government.

ADVOCATES FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES New York City, Nov. 6—The establishment of a free nation-wide public employment service, to be maintained by the states in co-operation with the federal and local governments, for the benefit of men women, and juniors in all walks of life, is recommended by the Russell Sage Foundation in a 600-page report on employment methods, needs, and agencies which was made public here today as the result of a five year study which took the Foundation's investigators into more than 70 cities of the United States and Canada. The full report is being submitted to President Coolidge and to the governors of the states. The outstanding facts in the Foundation's findings and its recommendations will be brought to the attention also of municipal and county officials, employers associations, labor organizations, civic and social agencies and the executives of other organizations concerned with the general problems of employment or employment. After discussing the great variety of administrative systems which have been proposed for a national public employment service, the Foundation says: "The balance of weight belongs on the side of a com- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE "Play-acting" is merely the mirror in which we see life.

WINS $1000 FELLOWSHIP New York City, N.Y.—On Wednesday morning, October 22nd, Miss Lydia Mason, of 45 West 66th Street, received notice that she had been awarded one of the $1,200 Fellowships in music by the Juilliard Musical Foundation. Miss Mason, it is believed, was the only Colored Applicant to be examined by the Board of Directors of that society. She began her pianoforte course on Monday, October 27th under the instruction of the famous Russian Pianist, Olga Samaroff. Miss Mason won a place in the heart of Washington music lovers five years ago, when she appeared in concert here with the Martin Boys, Eugene, violinist, and David, Jr., Cellist, at that time known as the Martin-Mason Trio. Just after the completion of that trip she was awarded a free scholarship to Fisk University by the Fisk Club of Greater New York. Miss Mason just completed her five year course this past June, having been successful in being awarded the scholarship five years in succession.

Therefore, the voter refusing to send their own men to themselves to the chariot of more but their race as well. Somehow the white races have race cannot approach. However our own to office, we may expect from which we now suffer. Political results this week should give the Negro a clear reflection of the type of leadership he has. They should also warn him of the inevitable suffering, caused by discrimination and segregation and Jim-Crowism, which he must endure if he continues to follow the leadership which was so distinguishingly marked in the last political campaign. It is regrettable that, among Negro leaders, or those so-called, there is a marked tendency to cast aside fundamental truths and doctrines for the glittering gold of the calf. For fifty-nine years, the Race has had a constitutional right of representation in a "government of the people, for the people and by the people"; and for practically a like length of time he has virtually been without such representation. Why? It can not be said that he has not had ample time to form at least a nucleus of representation; for in less than five years the American white woman has risen from the position of the "queen of society" to that of a legislatress in the House of Representatives. What she has done, with the aid of her male associates, in five years, the Negro certainly should do in fifty, or know the reason why. Nor can it be claimed that the Negro is satisfied with his present state; for even the street urchin disdains it. Why, then, is he not represented in Congress and the other branches of government, since only by representation can he logically hope to better his condition? It is because of the insincerity, the selfishness, the disloyalty, the short-sightedness, the greed for money of those who claim the leadership of the race and the ease the white man finds in buying the Race through its leaders. This was exemplified in the campaign just closed. Dr. Charles Roberts, a prominent colored citizen of New York City, from a district largely Negro, a candidate for a seat in Congress where the national laws are made, met defeat. His defeat can be explained only by the Negro voters themselves. Surely the masses of Negroes in Harlem do not prefer a white Democrat to Dr. Roberts. In Chicago, Ill., the same situation obtains. Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, a prominent business man of that city, also a candidate for a seat in Congress was defeated by his own people. Is it true that the Negroes in Chicago would rather be represented in Congress by a white man than by a man of their own flesh and blood? This question can only be answered by the leaders who did all they could for Madden. To believe Watkins incapable of the position is to believe the absurd. For his record—once chairman of the board of directors of a national bank, president of the Appomattox Club, a widely known fraternal man, easily qualifies him. There can be given no other reason for his defeat than money. How can these leaders explain their action? We cry aloud about discrimination, segregation and denial of opportunities, but what do we do ourselves to remove them? What better method can we pursue than to place Negroes in the lawmaking halls? In New York the leaders may say, Roberts was Republican and we are Democrats, so we voted our ticket. In Chicago they may say, Watkins was an independent candidate while Madden was a regular Republican, so, being Republicans, we voted for the white man. If the white voters acted the same way, their action might be excusable; but we know and these leaders know, that when a colored candidate comes up, unless his district is overwhelmingly Negro, he is defeated. The white voter, regardless of party, will vote for the white candidate as against the Negro candidate. Therefore, the voters of New York and Chicago by refusing to send their own men to Congress, have not only chained themselves to the charit of more segregation and discrimination, but their race as well. Somehow the white races have a unity in politics that we as a race cannot approach. However, until we can unite in electing our own to office, we may expect very little relief from the ills from which we now suffer.

NOVEMBER 8. 1924 Something of Interest It is, unquestionably noble to die for an idea. But it would be far nobler if men died for ideas which are true. History does not reveal to me any such case. The great martyrs have died for sheer nonsense—for trivial matters of doctrine and ceremonial too absurd to be stated in plain terms. There are countless thousands, however, who have perished in wars, fighting magnificently for their respective countries. What about them? Yet, show me one who knew precisely what the war in which he died was about, and could put it into a simple and plausible proposition. Cynicism is not necessarily the fruit of failure any more than it is of success. The man who has failed still has in his heart all of his aspirations and dreams that yet seem to him brave and worth- (I. L. Parker) while and glamorous. The cynicism of such a man is essentially dishonest. But the man who has succeeded has no aspirations and no dreams left to him. He has realized them and having realized them, has found them out for the relatively puny things they are. His cynicism is, accordingly, at once the more sound and the more sincere.

And after he looked, he said that he wasn't on there. And then they drove on fast, didn't slow down at all." They then drove to Fourteenth and V Streets, Northwest, she testified. She and Gross got out. Holmes and Freeman parked the car in a garage. Called a taxicab and the four of them returned to Seventh and S Streets. She and Gross got out there, and Freeman and Holmes drove off. She testified that the next day they had a conversatoin at her residence, 702 S Street, Northwest. Holmes and Freeman and the girls who live there were present, she said. "Well Freeman asked me had I seen the papers." And I told him yes, and then he and Holmes sat down to talk together, and then they called me and said, 'Don't you think you had better get out of town?' And I say, 'Why?' He said, 'Well, if the—' "Who said it?" Burnett asked. "Holmes," she replied. "And then he said—then I wanted to know why, and he said "Because if the police gets you you cannot stand the beating that they will give you, and you will tell it.' And I said, 'No, I don't want to go anywhere.' And then I walked into the kitchen and left Freeman and Holmes together. She added that she saw Freeman later. He came to her house practically every day, she testified. Under cross examination by Attorney John H. Wilson, she stated that the first knowledge she had that the person on the car was a police officer when she read it in the papers. She also admitted that nothing was said or done on that night that led her to believe he was a police officer. The other attorneys waived cross-examination. Assistant United States Attorneys John H. Burnett and Raymond Neudecker are prosecuting the case. The defendants are represented by Attorneys James A. O'Shea, John I. Sacks, John H. Wilson, Bertrand Emerson, Jr., and E. Russell Kelly.

BeautyHints EXCELENTO POWDER PUFF The Secret reference to imperishable contributions to the music world by the Colored Race, pays a fitting tribute to our great Taylor in a critical and biographical sketch. He is noted the greatest and first of his Race to be recognized internationally as a musician. I was also proud to note the honorable mention accorded our American (Colored) composers. Our folk music especially associated with the arrangements of Harry T. Burleigh. He has added character and dignity to the original American music, viz. the Negro folk songs and along with Coleridge Taylor, has elevated them to the proper recognition of the music world. Will Marion Cook, Nathaniel Dett, Carl Diton, Rosamond Johnson and Wellington A. Adams are also especially noted in this volume. In the composition of Wellington A. Adams, music critic of The Washington Tribute, responsible crits, including the late Albert W. Boost of Philadelphia and Prof. S. A. Fabian of the Washington College of Music, refer to him as especially talented. His compositions include: "In the City" of Jasper Walls," a nine-page sacred song, and "When All is Done" by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Carl Diton's transcript of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" is also noted as one of the greatest pieces of organ writing published in this country. Rosamond Johnson's well known songs are also given unstinted praise. On the whole, the entire ten volumes, briefly referred to, is a wonderful and educational work, and should be a part of the library of every Colored home in the country.

Before Pushkin Russia had no literature except imitative pseudo-classical tragedies and odes in which moved clumsily Cornellian or Raeinian characters, anaemic and colorless in a foreign climate, having nothing Russian in them except names. Pushkin was the first writer to draw in his novels, dramatic excerpts and poems unmistakably Russian heroes and heroines. Moreover his choice was so keen that, as it has been rightly pointed in the enormous portrait gallery of Turgenev and other later writers can be traced to an "ancestor" brought to light by Pushkin. Furthermore, to a country using its writings an unnatural and obsolete old-Slavonic "high style," Pushkin gave its modern literary language, not in its first and imperfect draft, but in its complete, perfected and pliant beauty surpassed by no later writer. There is even a more striking feature in Pushkin's historical role. Try to elicit from the greatest Russian masterpieces of the nineteenth century the fundamental philosophic ideals around which revolved the Russian literature and with it the Russian national spirit, and you will see that they were all clearly formulated by Pushkin. It is impossible to tell in a short article how deep and wide was Pushkin's influence all over branches of the Russian culture. But here is an example. Abandon the literature and turn to music, and here also you will recognize Pushkin's hand at every step. It is not remarkable that the operatic genius of the best Russian composers almost always shone forth through Pushkin's tragedies and poems To enumerate songs, romances, etc., composed on Pushkin's lyrical verses would be literally impossible for every Russian composer of note has borrowed his inspirations from Pushkin. It is only in the light of these and many similar facts that one comes to understand Pushkin's historical role.

If Peter the Great molded Russia's body, Pushkin blew soul into it. He is literally a son to which gravitates the Russian planet. In the course of this year, when the 125th anniversary of Pushkin's birth is being commemorated in the Russian press and literature, the French and German reviews have also contributed their wreath to the grave of the Russian poet. But in America and in England, countries that have the best translations of later Russian prose-writers, only a few fragments of Pushkin are known, and the name still remains a respectable but meaningless sound. His best works of prose are "The Pistol Shot," "The Queen of Spades," "The Undertaker," and "The Captain's Daughter." The last novel was written about 1831, and published under the pen name of Ivan Byelkin. PHOTOGRAPHS WANTED Send in your photograph so as to become the Page's host or hostess.

It is called: The Boy's Song Where the pools are bright and deep, Where the gray trout lies asleep, Up the river, and o'er the lea, That's the way for Billy and me. Where the black bird sings the latest Where the hawthorne blooms the sweetest, Where the nestlings chirp and flee, That's the way for Billy and me. Where the mowers mow the cleanest, Where the hay lies thick and green- est, There to trace the home-ward bee. That's the way for Billy and me. I am in the 6-A Grade. I go to Enock Ambush School.

I prefer her to speak in more useful studies. I can learn her to speak and write proper myself. I have been through too grammers and I can't say that they never done me any good. I prefer mattie to ingage in drawing or vokal music on the piano."

Prisoners are being indefinitely confined in the District jail in out right violation of their constitutional right entitlement to a speedy trial, Chief Justice McCoy said in court last Wednesday in a scathing denunciation of what he termed "bad management of the District Attorney's office." "Things here in this court are not right. I am going to right them," he said. The chief justice demanded from Assistant United States Attorney Gilchrist the exact number of prisoners whose cases had been "needlessly prolonged." He said that he did not know. Chief Justice McCoy replied that "I'll find out personally." Purcell Case "Last July," said Chief Justice McCoy, "we labored through in the hottest month of the year the Purcell murder case when the men had been kept in jail over a year before being brought into court for trial." The chief justice said that out of 13 criminal cases tried before him this term, 10 were cases in which those charged were out on bond, while other men have been kept in jail all the summer awaiting trial. "Why doesn't he bring in prisoners who are unable to furnish bond or who have been denied it?" he asked. According to reliable information, there is a total population of 379 in the District jail and out of that number 166 persons are awaiting trial in the two criminal courts.
