BUSINESS MEN PLEDGE AID TO WAGE EARNERS The plan of the National Association of Wage Earners to open a shop and make model house dresses, aprons and caps, is being backed up by one hundred Negro business and professional men who want to help the organization put over its practical program. While the women are working that will be the most practical and feverishly, trying to model a dress becoming ever put on the market, the men are backing Miss Burroughs in her effort to raise $2,500 to install the power machines. The opening of the little factory will give employment to a number of women and girls in this city and in every section of the country. In speaking of the plan, Mr. Neval H. Thomas said, "Your appeal for support for the National Association of Wage Earners is at hand. You will find enclosed my cheque for ten dollars. My study of the purposes of your organization convinces me that it is most deserving of public support, and I am sure it will receive it. If there is need of any agency to uplift and opportunity in this prejudice-ridden country of ours, it is one that stresses service to the Negro woman. After her numberless proofs of her superior worth, she is still the most disadvantaged of all the elements of our population. Your new organization, calculated to improve her efficiency and working condition, to expand her contracted economic opportunity, fills a most important need, I assure you" A group of business men went to the Wage Earners' Headquarters and assured Miss Burroughs that they would not only help her with the power machine, but would encourage the organization in every step it takes to better the condition of wage-earning women, "Because," they said, "they are the backbone of the race." The one hundred men have been asked to send their contributions in within the next thirty days. Gifts have already been received from Hon. Perry W. Howard, Mr. Neval H. Thomas, and Dr. C. Sumner Wormley. Others have written stating that their contributions will come within the limited time. The Wage Earners' Headquarters are at 1115 Rhode Island Avenue. The local Union is presided over by Mrs. Sadie T. Henson, with the following officers: Mrs. Lula Eaglin, vice-president; Mrs. M. M. W. Arter, secretary; Mrs. R. A. Lewis, assistant secretary; Mrs. C. E. Gant, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Jessie Bell, treasurer. MOTHER OF DR. JACKSON DEAD Mrs. Sarah L. Jackson, the mother of Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Director of the School of Public Health of Howard University, died Thursday evening, December 11th, 1924, at the residence of her son. Mrs. Jackson was for more than thirty-five years a teacher in the Public Schools of Indiana and only recently gave up teaching to make her home with her son and his wife at 213 Florida Avenue, Northwest. She received her training at Indiana State Normal School, Indiana University, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Drexel Institute. She was an ardent student and a hard worker.

The Published Weekly OOL Jobs FACUL REAL ESTATE AND SYSTEM DEPAR DEFUNCT BANK The Washington Tribune REAL ESTATE AND BUDGET SYSTEM DEPARTMENT OF DEFUNCT BANK ALSO SUED Southern Aid Society Wonderful Pre Washington Southern Aid Society Has Made Wonderful Progress in Washington Field --- The Union Laborers' Real Estate Company will be made co-defendants with the Union Laborers' Bank in the suit now pending in the equity division of the District Supreme Court. The original bill of complaint, Attorney Charles H. Houston states, will be so amended as to include the real estate concern as party defendants also. The real estate business was first operated as a separate department of the bank. It had its offices in the banking places of the Union Laborers Bank, both at 1847 Fourteenth Street, Northwest and 403 Four-and-one-half Street, Southwest. This business, however, was later incorporated. The officers of the bank were practically the officers of the real estate corporation. James W. H. Howard, president of the defunct bank was the president of the real estate corporation. So closely related were the two concerns that the real estate corporation even stopped functioning when the bank became insolvent and was forced to close its doors. A significant development is the discovery by the receivers that the banking business made loans to the real estate corporation. This was almost tantamount to the officers of t The secret of the great success that has come to the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., is due to the liberal provisions made for benefits to policyholders and the fine service rendered by their efficient personnel. In a recent interview with home office representatives of the Society, it was ascertained that the Society will have gross collections around $900,000 for the year, and that the assets of the Society will exceed $700,000, and it has paid over $3,500,000 to policyholders in benefits, and is daily rendering untold service to thousands of homes in the State of Virginia and District of Columbia. In addition to the unique policy and service, the Company has a special distinction in conducting its business in a very limited territory, and yet through intensive and intelligent work, it has been able to maintain a standard in gross collections, assets and benefitted policyholders that is exceeded by only one or two other colored companies, despite the fact that the other colored companies write ordinary and industrial insurance in from ten to fifteen states, while the Southern Aid Society of Va., Inc., operates only in the State of Virginia and District of Columbia and writes only sick benefit insurance—a form of insurance embracing benefits for sickness, accident and death. To best illustrate the appreciation of the public and the worth of the policy contract and the intensive work of the personnel, we cite the fact that the Society has been operating in the District of Columbia less than four years, but has, in that time written a debit in excess of $1000.00 weekly premium and therefore, has the second largest debit of any colored company in the District. It has developed a splendid district staff by following its usual practice of taking promising young men and women and training them in the business and promoting them as they develop and merit advancement.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 bank making loans to themselves, but because the real estate business was incorporated no charge of embezzlement could be made, it is alleged. The real estate corporation was under the active management of Horatio C. Sykes. The officers of the defunct bank were James W. H. Howard, president; Dr. R. T. Nelson, vicepresident; Dr. Thomas C. Smith, John A. Edwards, J. Finley Wilson, trustees. They are sued jointly and severally as trustees and shareholders of the bank. The bank also conducted some kind of budget system savings account. Mr. Howard will also be joined as a defendant as trustee of that system. The suit pending in the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia to determine liability for Christmas Savings funds will await the outcome of the suit filed in the equity division of the District Supreme Court. The receivers, Attorneys Charles H. Houston and Augustus W. Gray, have had turned over to them all the books, data, and records of the bank. It is very probable that the cause will be referred to the court auditor for an auditing of the financial affairs of the defendants at a very early date. perintendent, Mr. John E. Hall, Jr., entered the employment of the Society when a youngster in knee trousers, and has advanced through various stages of the work such as clerk, cashier, assistant superintendent, traveling superintendent and now as superintendent of the District. His contact has caused him to imbibe the spirit of the Society and hence he has become a property holder and permanent resident of the community, as will be evidenced by the fact that he and his accomplished madam are now cosily settled in their own home 207 Fla. Ave, N.W. As is well known the Society invested around $200,000 in the modern office and theatre building at 7th and T Sts., N.W., and hence demonstrated immediately that it was not one of the fly-by-night institutions, and therefore, the employees follow this good example. The District is proud of the Society and its local staff, and likewise, appreciates the liberality of the Home Office officials in the consideration given the race businesses and people of this community. The following personnel constitute the Washington District staff of the Society. John E. Hall, Jr., Supt.; C. E. Bryan, Asst. Supt.; C. L. Smith, Asst. Supt.; J. H. L. Baxter, Asst.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY SPREES RESULT IN TWO MURDERS A coroner's jury has ordered Benjamin Harrison Best, 24, of 1926 Twelfth Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the murder of Rufus Brown, 30, of 632 Acker Street, Northwest. Brown was fatally shot early last Sunday night at the Manhattan garage, 1706 Seventh Street, Northwest. According to the story related to Detective Paul Jones by Best, Brown and a white man were engaged in an argument when he approached with a view to settling it. Brown cursed him, Best stated, and threatened to kill him. Thereupon he from the running board of a Ford aureached over and got his boss's gun tomobile, he says, and as he raised the gun, it went off accidentally, fatally wounding Brown. Best says he immediately went next door and telephoned the police. The police say that they have found several discrepancies in his story. They say that after he had killed Brown, he took out the empty cartridge, reloaded the gun, and then hid it. The coroner's jury also ordered Ernest McCoy Duncan, 24, of 1507 Fifth Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the murder of Marshall Ransom, 24, of 1416 Carrolburg Street, Northwest, who died Sunday from a head wound received in a fight last Saturday night. Duncan and Ransom are said to have engaged in a fight over Elsie Jackson, 32, of 410 U Street, Northwest, in an automobile at First and M Streets, Southwest. Elsie was seriously shot in the back and arm at the same time. She was taken to Casualty Hospital. She is rapidly recovering. Duncan was arrested a short time after the shooting by Policeman Hugh Robey near Seventh and T Streets, Northwest. He was locked up at No. 4 station until the hearing, after which he was transferred to the District jail. Funeral services for Mr. Ransome were held at his late residence Thursday, morning at 11 o'clock. He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife, Mrs. Essie Ransome, a mother, four sisters, three brothers. His remains were taken to Charles City, Md., for burial. Beard Jackson, secretary; Miss Ethel Harris, assistant secretary; James M. Carter, financial secretary; Dr. W. L. Smith, treasurer; the Rev. Daniel E. Wiseman, chaplain, and Martin Powell, sergeant-at-arms. Prof. Charles S. Syphax, Attorney Arthur A. Greene and Dr. Charles F. Maloney made short addresses. Howard Trustees Charged With Diverting Funds Intended For Teachers' Salary Increase Citizens Organize To Wage Fight For Much Needed School Appropriation The sixty academic teachers of Howard University, received only $5,050 increase out of the $15,150 appropriated for salary increase of teachers and employees on the "Hill," according to figures contained in a little pamphlet setting out the facts in the present controversy between the faculty and the Board of Trustees. Further facts disclosed were that the clerical and other employees of the University only received approximately $3,050 in increases. The big question of what became of the balance, $7,000 is primarily the cause of the present trouble. According to facts obtained by the Committee on Salaries of the Academic Faculties, this $7000 went to salaries for new instructors. The diverting of this money, appropriated for salary increases, is deplored by the faculty members. They point out that the $15,150 was specifically appropriated by the Trustees for increases in salaries of teachers and employees and not for salaries for new instructors. The faculty contends that the budget committee who had charge of proportioning the increases, went outside of its scope in diverting $7000 to new salaries. While the faculty members do not question the need of additional instructors, they contend that it is unlawful and unfair to use money appropriated for their salary increase to pay the additional professors. The proffer of the faculty committee to assist the budget committee in making up the increase salary list was promptly refused. It is now believed that it was because the budget committee desired to divert these funds for other purposes that this aid was refused. Analysis of the increases proportioned out to the faculty shows that six teachers received no increase whatsoever, eight received a raise of $5.00 per month; twenty-eight, $10.00, one $15.00, three $20.00, one $30.00, one $55.00 and one $60.00. In a letter to Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the committee on salaries of the Academic Faculty, Dr. Jesse At a meeting of over 42 Civic organizations last Monday night at Dunbar High School, a plan for a fight to a finish with Congress for needed school appropriation was mapped out. Assistant-Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson was present and gave a detailed statement of the entire budget for the public school system for 1925-26. It was found that the Commissioners and the Bureau of the Budget had eliminated many items considered very vital to the continued progress of the school system. Among the important items eliminated were $180,000 to complete the purchase of land for the proposed stadium for Dunbar High School; $50,000 for the purchase of additional land for Garnet-Patterson schools; $175,000 for land and building for John F. Cook school; $7,500 for site for Burrville school; $5,306 for addition to New Bell school; $2,725 for Assembly Hall for Lovejoy school and the entire estimate for extension of school playgrounds. At the meeting it was decided to send petitions to Congress asking that the citizens and the Board of Education be heard on the various items and Miss TRUST is Charged With is Intended For lary Increase E. Moorland, Chairman of the Budget Committee stated: "... the Board of Trustees, after due and deliberate consideration, unanimously voted the adoption of the Budget Committee's recommendation to increase salaries of teachers and employees reaching a total of $15,000, the only increases made (in every case so far as I can now recall) allotted to teachers and employees on the "Hill." "It does not meet the approval of the Board to allocate any of the present funds (not specifically designated) to particular purposes." A faculty member stated to a Tribune reporter, that in the first paragraph of Dr. Moorland's letter he specifically admits what the money was appropriated for and in the second paragraph states that the board was unwilling to allocate funds not specifically designated. He continued, that the board, had already before the writing of this letter, diverted the money for teachers' and employees salary increases, to additional instructors. Another point made by the faculty members is the great discrepencies in the salary of the president of the university and the teaching force. The salary of Dr. Durkee is $7,000 a year with the use of a palatial home, fully equipped, heated and lighted. It is estimated that the home and its equipment is worth at least $3,000 a year, thus making the president receive approximately $10,000 a year. This is over three times the salary received by any member of the faculty. According to the salary scale now in vogue at the majority of the best colleges, Dr. Durkee is either greatly over-paid or the teaching force is greatly under-paid. According to a schedule given, the difference between the salary of the president and the Deans should be only 5/12. The present difference is nearly 8/12. The faculty has resolved to fight to a finish for a what it believes to be increases properly due it. Fifty-three members of the academic faculty have signed the pamphlet, setting forth their views and calling attention to the situation on the "Hill." ze To Wage Much Needed ol Appropriation omitted. Especially will the estimate for the new stadium for Dunbar and additional ground for Garnet-Patterson be pushed. It was pointed out that unless an appropriation for the Dunbar Stadium can be obtained, this work set back indefinitely. All of the ground for this stadium, which will be built back of Dunbar, has been acquired with the exception of a small strip on N Street. Another item considered of great importance is the item for $5000 for plans for a new McKinley Manual Training school. Under the present plans, when a new building is ready for McKinley, the old building on Seventh Street will be turned into a Junior High School for Colored. As this item was not allowed, a fight before the Committee on Appropriation will be made for its inclusion. A committee was selected to assist Mr. Wilkinson in obtaining a hearing, consisting of West Hamilton, Dr. U. J. Daniels, W. H. Lewis, Dr. Chas. Marshall, Rev. J. C. Olden, Mrs. Mae J. Richardson, Rev. Chas. L. Russell, E. W. Scott, Mrs. Nellie V. Smith, William O. Walker, J. F. Wilson, and Rev. D. E. Wiseman. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. s Shadd TEES PROF. WILKINSON AND MISS SHADD PROMOTED At the meeting of the Board of Education last Wednesday afternoon, Garnet C. Wilkinson and Steven E. Kramer were promoted to first assistant superintendents of the public school system of the District of Columbia. Mr. Wilkinson will be in charge of the schools in division one to nine inclusive. Miss Marion P. Shadd was promoted to second assistant superintendent. She will be chief of examiners of the schools in division ten to thirteen. Her former position of supervising principal of the eleventh division was left vacant. These promotions carry with them increases in salaries of approximately $1,000 a year. As assistant superintendent, Mr. Wilkinson received a salary of $4,200 a year. His salary as first assistant superintendent will be $5,000. Miss Shadd will receive $4,200 a year and may go as high as $4,500 a year. She formerly received $4,000 a year. Tilts Enliven Session The meeting of the Board was enlivened throughout by frequent tilts between Captain Julius I. Peyser and other members. He first objected to the use of the word "colored" in denominating schools in the tenth to the thirteen divisions. When the report of Superintendent Ballou was called for, Mr. Peyser demanded that the personnel committee first make its report. This resulted in Mrs. Coralie F. Cook submitting the names of those decided upon for promotions. The report of the legislative committee of the board brought forth a lively argument. It developed that a proposed bill to be presented to Congress had been drafted behind close doors and the members of the board (Continued on page 6) PLAN FEDERATION OFPARENT-TEACH-ER-ASSOCIATIONS At a meeting held at Dunbar High School last Monday night, the first step toward organizing a Federated Parent-Teacher-Association were taken. Twenty-four Parent-Teacher Associations were represented. A tentative organization was formed and the following officers elected: Temporary Chairman, Mrs. Lillian Robinson, 1234 Third Street, Southwest, of the Randall, Junior High Parent-Teachers Association and Temporary Secretary, Mr. Geo. H. Parker, of the Wormley Parent Teacher Association. The representatives of the various associations are to resort back to their bodies the action taken last Monday and ascertain their view of making the present temporary body a permanent one. A meeting will be held some time in January at which time this matter will come up for final settlement. It is expected that the plan to organize a Federation of the various associations will go through all right as there is an overwhelming sentiment for it. At present all the Parent-Teachers Association are independent bodies; there can be no unamity of action on any matter. Therefore, in order to give more strength of these associations, it is planned to organize a Federation in which each Parent-Teachers Association will be represented, just as the various Citizens' Associations do. ie $f SP E : . . . . i Y WATCHES -4 Seti Diamond Stick.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES At the last meeting of the James Reese Europe Post No. 5, D.C. Dept., American Legion, the principal items for discussion and action were: the question of separate tablets for white and colored veterans in the register of treasury's office, who made the supreme sacrifice in the world war. A letter of protest from the Commander's office to the President of the United States was read. After some discussion a motion was adopted indorsing the letter of protest. Alexander Gipson Assistant Service Officer, reported the findings of his inspection trip to Mt. Alto Hospital. There were encouraged in his report several disagreeable features in connection with the welfare and general treatment of ex-service men of color at this hospital. The Post voted that immediate action be taken through the proper channels to rectify the unpleasant and embarrassing treatment accorded colored ex-service men. The Post also expressed its complete confidence in the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, in handling the question of residential segregation in Washington, D.C.

Severs Relations With Howard Following Latters Withdrawal Athletic Board of Local University Gives Watson Three-Year Contract PAGE FOUR C.I.A.A. S Athletic Board of Lo Watson Three- An unfortunate condition has developed between Howard University and members of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The Howard Board of Athletic Control wired the Association of their withdrawal from that body, the Association members retaliated by writing Howard that no further athletic contests will be engaged by members of the C.I.A.A. teams with Howard, as long as the latter remained outside the Association. The members of the Association are Lincoln, Hampton Union, Va. Normal, Va. Seminary, St Paul, Shaw, and A. and T. College. Howard Board Acts Drastic changes in Howard's athletic policy, the naming of Louis Watson to coach the football team for a three-year period, and withdrawal from the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association were the principal questions decided by the Howard University Board of Athletic Control at its regular meeting held last Thursday. Dr. E. P. Davis, president of the Board gave out the following statement after the meeting: "The Board of Athletic Control of Howard University at its recent meeting held December 11, 1924, carefully reviewed the situation in athletics. A definite policy was formulated and approved that hereafter all coaches should be or become members of the teaching staff of the Department of Physical Education of the University with the status of other members of the Faculty." Unanimously Named Mr. Louis L. Watson was by unanimous vote of the Board of Athletic Control nominated to be head coach in football for the next three years 1925, 1926, 1927. Professor Watson will have charge of football in addition to his present duties with such assistance as is necessary. He will be given all the help essential to the best interests of the sport. This nomination now goes to the Board of Trustees for confirmation. Regrets Withdrawal The Board of Athletic Control voted unanimously to send the following telegram to the C.I.A.A. now in session at St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Va.: "Howard announces withdrawal from the C.I.A.A. We regret that we are forced to this step by the impossibility of reconciling collegiate and high school standards in the association, and hope that our pleasant relation with the different member institutions may continue." C.I.A.A. Letter to Howard Howard authorities maintain that their position is expressed in the letter of November 28 to the C.I.A.A., which is as follows: "Howard, although having no secondary school, makes no demand that secondary students in other institutions be debarred from their teams. In spite of this amicable attitude of ours, the Association teams, which themselves have no three-year rule, attempt to force it upon us by this last vote that no student—in preparatory school or college—who was a member of a C.I.A.A. team, the year before, shall play during the next year at Howard. It is and has been our belief that a freshman coming here from anywhere at all should have the right to play until we ourselves adopt a three-year rule. We compromised the matter by agreeing at our conference on May 10, 1924, that "A preparatory student who plays one year on a C.I.A.A. team, will not have that year counted against him in case he should enter the collegiate department of any other institution of the Association."—Art. VI, Sec. II, (A) 4. This provision appears in the printed 1924 rules. It did not appear in the 1923 rules. It was put in at our existence and unanimously agreed to. Yet when the first case under it comes up, the Association without notice, voted unanimously to repudiate its agreement." Conflicting Interpretations Sub sections 3 and 4 under Eligibility about which the question of inter-ion arose, read as follows: Section 3. "No student who has been member of a varsity team of an institution in the Association shall become member of a varsity team in an institution in the Association until one year shall have elapsed since his connection with the Section 4. "No student shall be allowed to represent his institution or take part in an intercollegiate contest who has conditions in more than one course. A preparatory student who plays one year on a C.I.A.A. team, will not have that year counted against him in case he should enter the collegiate department of any other institution in the Association. Should he play more than one year, each year, from the first shall be subtracted from his four years of participation. Section 4 was put into the C.I.A.A. constitution following the conference between Howard authorities and C.I.A.A. officials last May. The case of Miller who came from Union where he played one-year while in the preparatory department caused the conflicting interpretation. Howard Statement Later A Howard news statement says: "A more complete statement of the Howard University position in this whole matter will be furnished the press and the members of the C.I.A.A. Howard has not failed to note the covert and direct threat contained in the release of Mr. Williams in the news item sent through the Hampton Institute Press Service but dated from Lawrenceville, Virginia, nor the one signed by J. L. Whitehead also dated from Lawrenceville, and sent from Hampton Institute." C.I.A.A. ANSWER TO HOWARD From Lawrenceville, Va., on December 13, 1924, the C.I.A.A., through its secretary-treasurer, sent the following letter to Mr. Edward P. Davis, chairman of the Howard University Board of Control: "The C.I.A.A., in meeting assembled, regrets deeply that Howard University has found it necessary to withdraw from our Association. "The Association, after careful deliberation, accepts your withdrawal. We feel that our stand on the question involved is correct, and that we will have public support just as we are sustained by the members of our Association. "The Association feels that it is incumbent upon it to say to Howard that it has but done its duty in attempting to carry on the spirit and letter of our Association, and, in furtherance of that policy, cannot in justice of our ideal of true sportsmanship arrange athletic contests under conditions which destroy the integrity of the Association. "With good-will toward Howard, the Association trusts she will reconsider her withdrawal out of her desire to serve the best interests of our youth in the educational institutions.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 Dunbar Product Honored at Amherst Amherst, Mass., Dec. 15.—The Ashley Memorial Trophy, given annually to the member of the Amherst football squad whose services are considered of greatest value to the team, has been awarded this year to Charles Drew, 22, of Arlington, Va., He played halfback during the season recently completed. The Ashley Memorial Trophy is the gift of Homans Robinson, '16, in memory of a classmate, Tom Ashley, who was killed in action during the World War at Belleau Woods. Ashley when in college was prominent in athletics, and the condition governing the award of the trophy in his memory is that the award shall be made each year to that player who shall be considered the most valuable to the football team. Drew, the winner of the trophy this year, has taken an extremely active interest in athletics during the past two years. He has played on the varsity football team for two seasons, the first year as end and the second as halfback. He has also been the only member of his class to win a major letter during his freshman year. Drew was formerly a student at Dunbar High school in Washington, D.C. Banquet Tendered Football Officials An elaborate banquet was tendered the members of the Eastern Board of Approved Football officials, Tuesday evening at the home of Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, Falls Church, Va. Among the members of the Board present were Messrs. C. L. Pinderhughes, L. L. Watson, Duvall Evans, John Burr, Raymond Contee, Haley Douglas, E. P. Westmoreland, I. N. Cupid, Benjamin Washington and A. K. Savoy. Other guests were Professor Garnet C. Wilkinson and H. Scott. Doctors Henderson and Cupid were re-elected to serve as president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, for another year. Professor Wilkinson, regarded as the dean of colored officials, gave a short talk on the early days of our group in this vocation. He related how an unfair decision by a white referee, caused Howard years ago to begin using colored men entirely in handling games. Messrs. Washington and Henderson also held the attention of those preset with talks on their recent trip to Atlanta, Ga., where, upon special invitation, they handled the Atlanta-Morehouse game. with ANNUAL C.

Scott, Tribune Sports Editor A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT FOR WATSON About this time last year you were told in this column that Louis Watson's record with the Howard football team warranted a renewal of his contract, as head football coach. Evidently, it took the Board of Athletic about a year to reach this conclusion. At the meeting last Thursday Watson was given a three-year contract to coach Howard's football team. Watson's team last year won 6 games, lost none, tied one, negotiating undefeated about the toughest schedule a Howard eleven has ever faced. Many nasty occurrences abetted by fraternal influences, resulted in the selection of Dr. Morrison as the 1924 Howard coach. time last year you were told in this column that with the Howard football team warranted a renewal of football coach. Evidently, it took the Board to reach this conclusion. At the meeting last Tue a three-year contract to coach Howard's football last year won 6 games, lost none, tied one, negated the toughest schedule a Howard eleven has ever been abetted by fraternal influences, resulted in Jon as the 1924 Howard coach. Unous verdict of the Board is a distinct triumph as the Board comes to Watson, literally on bendiness and thrusts the coach's job upon him. So are its error of last year that no other names of or consideration. On pointed out in another article Watson will hand necessary assistance along with his duties as Head of Physical Education. A big boost in salary for the dual role. Reports from the University may be added to the coaching staff. If the Board of Athletic Control are predicting statistics under the new system of the coaches being there is no question but that many questioned athletics at Howard. To know that all irrelevant is encouraging news to the Alumni and follow The unanimous verdict of the Board is a distinct triumph for Watson. In other words the Board comes to Watson, literally on bending knees, asking forgiveness and thrusts the coach's job upon him. So anxious was the Board to right its error of last year that no other names of coaches were presented for consideration. As has been pointed out in another article Watson will handle the coach's job with the necessary assistance along with his duties as Director of the Department of Physical Education. A big boost in salary is reported to be his share for the dual role. Reports from the University state that Charles West may be added to the coaching staff. Members of the Board of Athletic Control are predicting a new era for Howard athletics under the new system of the coaches being members of the faculty. There is no question but that many questionable conditions have surrounded athletics at Howard. To know that all irregularities will be eliminated is encouraging news to the Alumni and followers. MORE ABOUT HOWARD'S WITHDRAWAL In another column of this paper you can find a statement of Howard's withdrawal from the C. I. A. A., also the C. I. A. A.'s answer to Howard. The case of Bob Miller, the Howard guard, who was a member of the Union varsity in 1923 is cited as the cause of all the commotion. In the writer's opinion the Miller case is insignificant. The Tribune long ago advocated Lincoln and Howard's withdrawal from the C. I. A. A., as apparently, the Association's by-laws could not be adjusted to meet the preparatory and college student. We have previously pointed out that a student able to get the same athletic competition in the preparatory department would not have the added athletic incentive to enter college. As was pointed out in the "Howard Hilltop." "Interscholastic students are raised to the rank of college students for athletic purposes in the C. I. A. A. Many of Howard's undergraduates are recruited from these preparatory schools. No graduates of Howard enter these institutions except to teach. The amended clause would indicate that the Executive Committee appreciated Howard's position. The ruling against Miller belie this notion. Therefore it appears that the Association is formed to meet the needs of semi-preparatory schools and is inter-scholastic rather than inter-collegiate." Why should the C. I. A. A. boycott Howard because of the latter's withdrawal? A. A & T. College, not an Association member last year, played members of that body. West Virginia and other schools operate independently. Morgan went from West Virginia to Lincoln as a player. Tobin, Union's center this fall came from Tuskegee. Yet the C. I. A. A. members go on record not to engage in athletics with Howard, because Howard decides she has no business in the organization. Is it because Howard may draw a player from a C. I. A. A. member? Unless there is a reconciliation the situation may develop into a great handicap or hardship for the C. I. A. A., Howard and the public. The local University could very easily fill a football schedule because only three C. I. A. A. teams were met last fall anyhow. Although plans for an active basketball year have already been formulated the arrangements have not reached the stage that will embarrass the local athletic department. Most fans will wonder about the Thanksgiving "classic". In this writer's opinion it would be a good thing if Howard were forced to proportion the publicity the "classic" gets to other games on-the schedule. WILL HEAR FROM HIM Bernard Young, Jr., the enterprising sports correspondent at Hampton Institute plans to enter Columbia University next fall to study journalism. Much favorable comment has been extended to this youthful scribe for the excellent manner in which he has handled the publicity of Hampton's athletic events. TAYLOR IS VERSATILE There is not a better all-round athlete in collegiate ranks than W. S. (Bill) Taylor at Lincoln. Taylor has won his "L" in football, baseball and track and only disciplinary actions kept him from being a regular basketball player. Taylor is a Baltimore product who starred for a period at Storer College. HOWARD For Reservations: Phone, N. 1094 T St., at 7th, N.W., G. H. Tucker, Manager One Week Only Com. Mon.

To increase the size of the new facilities would avoid the idea of segregation the time leave the two races to segregate with name of America. Wherever the Southern white man goes you will find him to be a propagandist. Lieutenant Colonel C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds here, is no exception to this rule. In setting aside a site for a bathing beach to be used exclusively by the Negro population, Mr. Sherrill is attempting to perpetuate a condition which prevails generally and specially in his home State, North Carolina. While we admit that such a condition has not frequently caused friction to the point of explosion in his State, we claim it to be one of the social forces which is immediately responsible for Negroes leaving the Southland. Perhaps this is but a sinister means of making the Negro, if he does leave-deeper Dixie, pass on to points farther North. Or perhaps it is with the hope of decreasing the ratio in population of Negro Washingtonians—all with the hope of some day obtaining the franchise for the District of Columbia without the fear of having the Negro dominate the departments of administration. Some short-sighted Negroes here, we find, would rather have a Jim-Crowed beach than have none at all. Such thoughtless ones are living only for themselves to-day, without any thought whatever of the conditions which the future generations must face. This is a selfish idea which does much to temper the so-called militant fight that we have waged against segregation in all its phases. Why accept such a condition weekly when just the opposite is wanted? Does it not encourage the white man to further his policy of segregation and give him, at the same time, a big stick to crack your head in the event of disapproval? Can you imagine the Administration of Washington, the Capitol of a just Republic, going on record as approving segregation? Can you not see by this that the segregation, which has existed in the several Departments of the Government, is gradually spreading on and on until, if allowed to continue, it will touch the sacred shrines of the home? Atlantic City, N.J., the largest bathing beach in America, does not segregate though segregation there exist. One is permitted to bathe anywhere along the shore from the Inlet to Chelsa, but you will find that the Negro segregates himself and bathes principally at Walls'. This is more desirable, because it satisfies both races: the Negro does not feel that he is segregated; the whites are satisfied that he is. To increase the size of the now existing beach and its facilities would avoid the idea of segregation and at the same time leave the two races to segregate without blurring the name of America.

Much exasperation has been caused by that section of the American press which clamors for Asiatic exclusion laws, a bigger navy, increased naval bases in the Pacific, and then sounds the alarm when Japan holds defensive naval maneuvers in the Pacific. Does it think that Japan cannot see through the proposed American naval maneuvers about Hawaii and the contemplated visit of the fleet to Australia? Japan knows, and so does The Tribune, that Australia is the jingo, Asiatic-baiting country of the East, and that the United States is the jingo, Asiatic-baiting country of the West; that fear and hatred of Japan are the two great factors underlying all this recent gushy friendship between Australia and the United States. Nothing would please Australia and the United States better than to catch Japan between them and crush out her very life. Then there would be no more yellow peril to white supremacy. But they are not ready to tackle Japan just now. They must watch and wait. And while they do so, the United States sends out its emissaries to pat Japan on the back and assure her of the "traditional American friendship." Japan gives them a cool but courteous reception.

MUSIC FORUM BARITONE PLEASES IN RECITAL "Wilson Lamb, Negro baritone, gave a recital at the Lincoln Theatre Wednesday afternoon (December 10) under the auspices of the Artists Course Series. His artistic interpretation of the dramatic values of his songs was delightful, although the timbre of his upper tones was somewhat thin and enunciation was not always distinct. He more than made up for this deficiency, however, in the virile resonance of his voice in the chest register, with good tone color and phrasing effect. He seemed to have admirable poise.

The program included, as well as those mentioned above, "Morning" (Rachmaninoff), "By the Sea" (Schubert), "Field Beloved" (Rachmaninoff), "Luscia Amor" (Handel), "Bois Antor" (Handel), Bois Epais (Lully) and "An Explanation" (Coleridge-Taylor).

(Note—The above comment reprinted for the benefit of "Tribune" readers was written by request of the music editor especially for The Star by W. A. Adams). THE WASHINGTON TRIBONE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1924 Prof. Wilkinson and Miss Shadd Promoted themselves were asked to approve this bill about which they knew nothing. The bill proposes a five years' school building program to provide a sufficient number of school, buildings in order to abandon all portables, eliminate the "double shift" program in the high school and modernize the public school system in the District of Columbia. A communication from David A. Pine, counsel for Mrs. A. J. Cooper, was received. He asked for a hearing before the board with a view to having it reconsider its action approving an adverse report to Mrs. Cooper made by the board of examiners of schools in divisions ten to thirteen. Upon the recommendation of Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, the proposed stadium adjacent to Dunbar High School was named the James E. Walker Stadium in memory to the late Major James E. Walker. This project has been under way ever since 1916. The sum of $185,000 has been appropriated by Congress and the larger part of the necessary land has been purchased. Approximately $180,000 is still needed to buy up the remainder of the ground, which is improved by dwellings. The District Commissioners and the Budget Bureau have disapproved items for the completion of this project. PRESIDENT HOPE MADE MEMBER OF GENERAL BOARD OF Y. M. C. A. Buffalo, N.Y.—The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations of the United States, at its meeting here, has given deserved recognition to the colored Associations by electing President John Hope of Atlanta, Ga., to the highest governing board of the Council. In being elected to this body, known as the General Board of the National Council, President Hope is one of the thirty-three men drawn from the country at large. The Board as selected is a remarkably representative body. Its members come from many parts of the country, from many lines of business and professional life, and from many denominations. Dr. Hope is a graduate of Brown University, from which he received a Phi Beta Kappa scholarship rating. For fifteen years he has been president of Morehouse College. He was associated with the war work of the American Y. M. C. A. in France. A high honor was conferred upon Dr. W. W. Nelson of Cincinnati, O., who was made fourth vice-president of the National Council, to serve for a year. Dr. Nelson is chairman of the Ninth Street Branch of the Y. M. C.

The pep, spirit, action, and personality, or call it what you may, that intangible something that makes the girls seem to enjoy their entertaining work has not been refined out of the Colored chorister. The instinctive joy of rhythm that is a racial characteristic forebids repression. It has been the infectious joy of the varicolored girl as she sang and danced that has prevailed over the audience who have patronized these shows and sent them talking. They were a genuine tonic to which amusement jaded nerves responded. It was action in cessant and joyous action that reached the very keynote of American life and mentality that has given the Colored chorus girl her place in the affections of the big impersonal Mary L.

Lane) ARY, a little girl who lived in Washington, had waited anxiously for Christmas to come. At last it came. Mary saw Santa Claus come down the chimney. He filled her stocking with candy and toys. He decorated the tree with beautiful bright-colored balls, and gold and silver tinsel. In a corner near the tree Santa put a beautiful doll that would talk and walk. There was also a pretty doll carriage, a ball with the alphabet on it, several story books, and a number of games. In another corner he placed a new hat, coat, shoes, stockings and a pair of ball-bearing skates. After he had finished fixing the dining room up nicely for Mary to see in the morning, he went his way to the next morning-glory place. All of this was only a dream. When Christmas morning came, Mary awoke, came down to the dining room full of glee. When she walked into the room it was barren; there was no sign of Christmas. Mary was seven years old, very cute, but she had been very bad all the past year. She began to cry; flew up stairs to her mother, who had not gotten up because it was only six o'clock. "Mother, what on earth is the matter? I have nothing for Christmas, not even a tree!" "You have been very bad all the year. I warned you about your naughtiness, but you did not take heed.

Once long ago in a stable dreary Christ was born of the Virgin Mary. Outside all was still and white But yonder gleamed a glorious light. The shepherds saw the star on high And then they all began to cry: "Look, look at the heavens above," For there was a shining host of love.

NATIONAL SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET The Trustees of the National Training School for Women and Girls held the largest meeting in the school, December 11. Men and women came from every section of the country. Plans making for the permanency and development of the work were discussed. It was a most harmonious session, and the trustees declared that Miss Burroughs had, in the development of the work on Lincoln Heights, performed a miracle such as only Nannie Burroughs can perform. It was an unusually fine session, and a real vote of appreciation and confidence by the Board of Trustees. They declared that the unbroken success of the school for fifteen years must not be disturbed. Miss Burroughs has so conducted herself and the affairs of the institution as to commend the work not to a small group of people but to every class in every section of the country without regard to race or denomination.

In upkeep, standards, and wise use of money, the school has been conducted in such a way as to commend itself to investigators, donors, and students. Even in the great upheaval of the National Baptist Convention, the school has gone gloriously and successfully on with its work and the trustees feel it their sacred duty to see that it is safeguarded from upheaval, bias and financial entanglements. Speaking of the mid-winter meeting, one of the trustees said, "We have on Lincoln Heights the greatest opportunity for nation-wide and unselfish service in the field of education, and I feel that the trustees have caught a new vision of their obligation and their opportunity." The plan is to enlarge the institution and to support Miss Burroughs unqualifiedly. Your Eye Sight Eye Is 50% of your Happiness Therefore don't neglect them.

Meekins of Elizabeth City, N.C., to be United States District Judge for the eastern district of North Carolina, have been filed at the White House and the Department of Justice by colored Republicans of North Carolina, it was learned today. Antagonistic to Negroes It is charged that Colonel Meekins is very bitter in his attitude toward Negroes. He is accused of boasting that he worked and voted to disfranchise the Negro in the election of 1900 "In the last campaign in which he was a farcical candidate for governor of North Carolina on the so-called Republican ticket," it is stated, "newspaper account reported him as having boasted that he voted and worked in the 1900 campaign to disfranchise the Negroes of North Carolina. This in the face of the fact that the Negroes' right to vote was in accordance to the Constitution, an amendment thereof which was bought and paid for in the price of human blood." The protestants say that they voted for only one Republican candidate in the last election. He was President Coolidge. They cast their votes for the remainder of the Democratic ticket. "We are told," they say, "that Mr. Meekins stated publicly that he did not want a Negro to vote for him for governor of North Carolina. Supported Linney The fight in 1921 over the confirmation of Frank A. Linney to be United States Attorney for the western district of North Carolina is recalled. It is charged that at the hearing before a sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee when colored North Carolinians had made similar charges against Mr. Linney, Colonel Meekins was his chief advo- Because you can obtain A Complete Funeral McGuire's Funeral Corner, NINTH and does not mean that we sell or The COST is left ENTIRE.

Opposition to confirmation of Mr. Linney by the Senate was based chiefly upon a circular letter, in which overtures were made to the Democratic State Committee to join the Republican state committee and agree upon some kind of plan by which both parties might eliminate the Negro from participation in politics. This letter was signed by Linney and was published in every daily paper in the state. At the hearing, Linney denied that he was the author of it or that he had signed it.

The men who led the fight against Linney now charge that any man who wrote such a letter is unfit and unsafe to be placed in such a position as a United States District Judge. One of the leaders in this fight is Profesosr Charles H. Moore of Greensboro, N.C. He is a graduate of Amherst College, of which both President Coolidge and Attorney General Stone are graduates. He does not believe that the Attorney General will recommend to the President the nomination of Meekins.
