SENATE RESTORES $221,000.00 OF HOWARD UNIV. ITEMS COMMISSIONER SAYS PHOTOS DO NOT DISCRIMINATE MEDICAL SCHOOL ITEMS ONLY ONES Mail Clerk Accused of Rerouting Mail to Himself Separate Bathing Beach Items Will Not Be Opposed First in Local Circulation. SENATE COMMIS MEDICAL SCHOOL ITEMS ONLY ONES NOT INCLUDED At its first night meeting of the session, the Senate last Wednesday night passed the Interior Department appropriation bill carrying a total of approximately $239,700,000. The sum of $221,000 was included for Howard University. Senator Reed Smoot, in charge of the bill offered the amendment authorized by the Senate appropriations committee, appropriating funds for Howard University. He withdrew, however, the item of $185,000 toward the construction of a new building for the medical school. This action of Senator Smoot was taken when Senator Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina, indicated that he would make the point of order against the item for the medical building that it had not been estimated for by the Bureau of the Budget. The balance of the appropriation for Howard University had been estimated for. The amendment, which was agreed to, provided $125,000 for maintenance, $34,000 for the manual arts department; $9,000 for equipment, laboratory supplies, apparatus and repair of laboratories and buildings for the medical school; $5,000 for material and apparatus for the science department; $3,000 for the libraries; $30,000 for improvement of grounds and repair of buildings, and $15,000 for fuel and light. There is no way for the item for the medical school building to be inserted now. The bill goes to conference, and the conferees have no power to deal with it. In order for this appropriation to be made, it would have to be estimated by the Budget Bureau, and then it could be offered as an amendment to any other bill. There is no assurance that the Budget Bureau will submit an estimate. Senator Smoot stated that he was in favor of this procedure. The Interior Department appropriation bill as passed also provided the sum of $202,950 for the Freedmen's Hospital. This includes $50,000 for remodeling the nurses' home, $89,000 for salaries, and $63,950 for subsistence, fuel and light, clothing, bedding, forage, medicine, medical and surgical supplies, surgical instruments, replacement of x-ray apparatus and other absolutely necessary expenses. These items were eliminated in the House of Representatives on points of order made by Representative Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina. Meanwhile there is under consideration by the House Committee on Education a bill to amend the act incorporating Howard University. It was introduced by Representative Crampton, Republican, of Michigan, who also introduced another Bill for the federalization of Howard University. Under the terms of this bill annual appropriations are authorized to aid in the construction, development, improvement, and maintenance of the university, no part of which shall be used for religious instruction. This bill also provides that the university shall at all times be open to inspection by the Bureau of Education and shall be inspected by the said bureau at least once each year. The Bureau of Education would be required to present an annual report to Congress, making a full exhibit of the affairs of the university. Mr. Frederick Hundley, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. A.

The Published Weekly RESTORE SIONER Mail Clerk Separate ARMSTRONG HIGH STUDENT CHARGED WITH MAN- SLAUGHTER The grand jury last Monday returned an indictment charging Charles E. Cooper, Armstrong Technical High School student, with manslaughter in connection with the death of Edward W. Robinson, another student, on September 25, 1924.

Simms, 2602 Nichols Avenue, southeast, a mail porter employed by the Washington Terminal Company, charged with redirecting parcel post packages to himself, was given a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner George H. Macdonald last Saturday. He was ordered held for the action of the grand jury under $3,000 bond. Simms is charged specifically with the redirection of a package containing a clock valued at $45 and mailed by the Woodward and Lothrop department store to the Seth Thomas Clock Company, of Boston. Testimony, however, that other packages had been so diverted from their rightful destinations to Simms' address was introduced by postal inspectors. According to the inspectors, Simms had been watched for several months. The package, which Simms is alleged to have redirected, was first noticed December 30, at the Anacostia post office. Postal inspectors clinched their case by steaming the label, thereby finding that Simms' address had been pasted over the original label placed on the package at the department store. No return label was given on the top label. RETIRES AFTER THIRTY YEARS After thirty-five years of continuous service in the office of the Adjutant General, War Department, Osborn T. Taylor, of 1712 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, was retired last Saturday. He has reached the age of 70 years.

He has three daughters who are teachers in the local schools. He also has three sons, one of whom is a mechanical engineer living in Canada, another an automobile mechanic and the third an electrician.

BENNETT SUPPORTS LLOYD IN BOARD FIGHT At the meeting of the Board of Education at the Franklin School last Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. F. L. A. Bennett took exceptions to the charge of Captain Julius I. Peyser that James T. Lloyd, president of the board, had used his official position to further his private business interests. The Peyser charge had been made at a previous meeting of the board in December. It was in reply to what he considered a personal attack made upon him by the reading of a magazine article with reference to obstructionists on school boards. The Reverend Bennett said that he did not believe that the charges should be allowed to remain on the record. He took the positioin that the accusation should be withdrawn or Captain Peyser should submit facts in support of it. Upon motion of the Reverend Bennett the accusation was referred to the committee of the whole with the exception of Captain Peyser and Mr. Lloyd. The principle of selecting persons living outside the District of Columbia to fill administrative or executive positions in the public school system of the District was bitterly assailed during the meeting by Captain Peyser and Ernest Greenwood. The question of whether or not a fund of $7,500 for the purchase of ground adjoining the Burrville school should be used to buy property fronting on Division Avenue or to the rear of the present school came up. The finance committee was authorized to make the proper recommendation to the District Commissioners for the purchase of the ground fronting on Division Avenue. The following changes in the personnel have been made: Leave of Absence L. T. Pace, teacher, Burrville School. Thomas Payne, laborer, from Shaw Junior High School to Dunbar High School; Virginia Edlin, laborer, from Dunbar High School to Birney School; H. B. Jones, teacher, from Birney School to Logan School; L. S. Turner, teacher, Bell School, from Opportunity class to grade 6; J. W. Sewell, teacher, from Garfield School to Bell School; G. C. Cones, teacher from Syphax School to Garfield School; T. E. Cohran, teacher from division 13 to division 11. HOLMES DENIED NEW TRIAL BY JUSTICE SIDDONS Justice Siddons last Monday denied the motion for a new trial for James T. Holmes, convicted of second degree murder in connection with the death of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger on August 28, last. Counsel for Holmes sought a new trial for him on the ground that in the trial of the case Chief Justice McCoy admitted into evidence against Harry W. Freeman, who was jointly tried with Holmes, the Nash touring automobile from the rear of which the officer was shot by Freeman. This car was seized by detectives without a search warrant. The chief Justice ruled that it was inadmissible against Holmes but might be admitted against Freeman. Holmes' attorney claimed that its admission against Freemen was equivalent to its admission against Holmes. CONSTRUCTION OF BATHING BEACH TO BE PUSHED Protests against the construction of a separate beach for colored persons in the District of Columbia are futile. Representative Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, chairman of the House appropriations committee, let it be known yesterday that he will not ask for the repeal of the legislation appropriating the sum of $75,000 for the construction of this beach on the west side of Tidal Basin opposite the bathing beach for white persons only. In the meantime the War Department is proceeding with the plans for the construction of this jim-crow beach. The appropriation is only available to June 30, next. The War Department hopes to have this appropriation expended by then. It will not stop the work on the plans temporarily to permit members of Congress to determine whether or not an attempt should be made to repeal the legislation providing for it. Mr. Madden takes the view that the protests are largely from persons who live beyond the confines of the District of Columbia. He believes that the persons living in the District and for whose benefit the beach is being constructed are entitled to some consideration. He is of the opinion that a majority of them favors the construction of this beach upon the site selected by the Secretary of War, for which the appropriation has been made. Furthermore, no protests were received, he says, until after the second deficiency bill carrying the appropriation had become law and the War Department had announced its plans for the construction of the beach. Representative Madden said that he was just as much opposed to the segregation feature as are the colored people. He added that his attitude toward segregation was well known. He does not feel that he should be held responsible for the conduct of Lieut. Colonel Clarence O. Sherrill, in charge of buildings and grounds, who is a North Carolinian. If the army officer is objectionable to them, the colored people should file written protests with the Secretary of War and the President, advised Mr. Mad- MME. WALKER COMPANY FETES PRIZE WINNERS BEFORE THEY SAILED ON THE PARIS Rev. Melvin J. Key, pastor of Turner Memorial A. M. E. Church, and winner of the first prize of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., a trip to the Holy Land, sailed from New York City, Wednesday morning, January 7th, on the steamship Paris, on the first leg of his journey to the old world. In his last article to The Tribune before sailing, Rev. Key extends a farewell good bye to the people of the capital and extends many thanks to all who made his "Adieu Reception" here last week so enjoyable. In speaking of his first stop, Rev. Key said that all the men who are to sail as guests of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., have sidetracked all business. While in New York City, they stopped at the city residence of A. M. E. ZION BISHOPS MEET IN CHARLOTTE The Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church will hold its mid-winter meeting in Charlotte, N.C., January 14, 15, and 16, 1925. It is expected that all of the 12 Bishops of the denomination will be in attendance except Bishop C. C. Alleyne of New York City, who with his wife and a coterie of Missionaries, sailed for the foreign work in Africa, a few days ago, where his Episcopal headquarters will be for the next four years. Most of the general officers of the church and scores of pastors, from various sections of the country, will be in attendance at the Charlotte meeting next week. A review of the financial situation of the denomination, including the receiving of final reports of the recent $25,000 drive for Foreign Mission Work and formulating of plans to further extend the Church, through evangelistic efforts, in the Home and Foreign Field, will be among the matters taken up by the forth coming Bishops' meeting. Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, N.Y., will preside over the deliberations. It is reported about the Capitol that the fight against a segregated bathing beach is a part of the fight for Speaker of the House of Representatives, for which Mr. Madden is opposing Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio. It is said that these protests were inspired by Mr. Longworth with a view to forcing Mr. Madden to seek the repeal of this legislation. This would result in the opposition of southern members of the House to Mr. Madden's candidacy. But little credence, however, is put into this explanation of it. H. U.

ALPHAS SELECT DETROIT FOR NEXT CONCLAVE New York City—The most remarkable group of Negro men ever before to assemble for the definite purpose of seriously discussing fundamental problems of the Negro youth in America and the particular part which the Negro college men and women play ended a five day session in New York City Wednesday, December 31st, 1924, at 12 o'clock, midnight, when Raymond W. Cannon, the National President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity declared the Seventeenth Annual Convention of that organization closed at the annual banquet held in the 135th Street Branch Y. M. C. A., New York City. One outstanding feature of the convention was the initiation of Dr. A. M. Curtis, prominent physician and surgeon of Washington, D. C., and Alonzo F. Herndon, noted Negro capitalist of Atlanta, Georgia, into the fraternity as Exalted Honorary Members. Election of officers for the year 1925 was held Wednesday afternoon, December 31st at the closing session of the convention. Raymond F. Cannon, National President; Norman L. McGhee, National Secretary. The selection of a meeting place for each annual convention is always cause of intense rivalry among the several chapters of the fraternity. This year there was a spirited contest between Detroit, Chicago, Louisville, Ky., and Atlanta, Georgia. The final vote named the site of Gamma-Lambda Chapter at Detroit, Mich., as the place where the Eighteenth Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will be held, the dates being December 27th to 31st, inclusive, 19255.

ITEMS IMINATE ANSWERS LETTER OF KELLY MILLER ON USE OF PHOTOS Adoption of the finger-print method of identification in place of the photographic by the United States Civil Service Commission is impracticable, Says William C. Deming, president of the commission, in reply to a letter from Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University. He asserts that if there is discrimination against colored persons in appointments to Federal positions in the civil service, not even the abolishment of the requirement of identification would end it. He points out that eligibles are required to report for observation and questioning before appointments are made, and that there is also a six months' period of probation before an appointment becomes absolute. In his letter, Dean Miller bad charged that "the photograph is not necessary for identification of the applicant. The only practical purpose served is to exclude the applicant whose face shows pigmentation." The full text of Mr. Deming's reply is as follows: "My dear Dean Miller: "I have read with interest your letter of December 19. "There seems to be no question that identification is necessary in connection with examinations for the Federal civil service. The Commission's experience before and after the requirement of photographs has proved this point. "Your understanding of our problem is evidenced by the statement in your letter, 'I fully appreciate the necessity for proper means of identifying applicants to prevent conspiracy, impersonation and fraud.' I thank you for your assurance that you do not now and never had lodged complaint against the Civil Service Commission itself. This Commission adopted the use of photographs because it seemed the only effective and practicable means of identification. "The use of the finger print system requires the services of experts. The Commission's examinations are held, and appointments are made, at approximately 3,500 cities and towns, sometimes in rural communities. This seems to preclude the general adoption of the finger print system by the Civil Service Commission. We also hold examinatoins in the Philippines, Porto Rico, Panama Canal Zone, Hawaiian Islands, and Alaska. We have applicants representing many races, including Indians. "While we have no record as to the number of colored employees in the classified service, from our general observation throughout the country, we believe the number is growing every year. "Of course, there is no discrimination against Negroes in the examinations. The Commission has no evidence that there is discrimination in appointments. If however, appointing officers do, as you say, discriminate against Negroes now, they could also do so if the requirement of identification were substituted for photographs. Under the civil service rules three eligibles are certified for each vacancy in order that the appointing officer may exercise his prerogative of choice when making appointments. "Appointing officers, before definitely making appointments, usually endeavor to acquaint themselves concerning the eligibles certified, beyond the information included in the examination papers and the application. Where the eligibles live in the city in which the appointing or nominating officer has his office they are required to report in order that they may be observed and questioned; where they (Continued on page 7) --- LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO The Trio Beauty Culture School, 1944 9th Street, N.W., has opened its books for enrollment; day and night classes.

DIRECTOR WATSON WILL HAVE THE HOWARD SCHEDULE READY SOON Strange as it may seem, the Howard—C. I. A. A. controversy is more widely discussed outside of Washington than it is here. Howard's athletic followers in these parts have so far taken but a casual interest in the affair. In fact aside from the student body's interest, the "classic" is the only Howard athletic activity that arouses the local sporting public. Local Howard followers may become interested as the time for the "classic" nears. pears. College athletic supporters are urging a compromise between Howard and the Association. Both have come in for attacks but public sentiment seems to be leaning with Howard. Association supporters point to the fact that Howard some years ago used prep students and for sentimental reasons should remain in the Association. Others claim Howard withdrew because her athletic teams have had trouble winning in late years. Howard sympathizers take the position that since collegiate and scholastic requirements can not apply to one body that Howard was absolutely right in withdrawing. The Association has been criticised for refusing to play Howard in any branch of athletics. No stone was left unturned to block Howard's path. A. & T. College, an annual Howard foe, was admitted to the Association although refused admittance in 1923. Dr. W. G. Alexander, Lincoln's graduate manager of football, was elected to head the Association yet absent from the meeting. While the discussion is going on, Director Watson of the Department of Physical Education at Howard is filling his football dates for next fall. Atlanta, Wilberforce, Biddle, Morehouse, West Virginia, Johnson C. Smith, and last but not least, Lincoln, will likely fill the dates. Negotiations are also about closed for one of the big northern colleges to play here next fall. Yes, have no fear, you can reserve your suite at the Roadside for the "classic" next Thanksgiving. RUBE FOSTER STILL REIGNS SUPREME IN WEST Rube Foster is truly the generalissimo of the Negro National League. The "mighty one" has withstood two extremely bitter attacks within a year and is still coming back for more. When Mrs. C. I. Taylor's Indianapolis A. B. C. club failed to withstand the raids of the East and expense of the West last season, Mrs. Taylor openly denounced President Foster, blaming him for her club's failure. Foster retaliated by giving out a statement to the public. He then went on his merry way managing the American Giants, supervising league affairs and buying apartment houses with his profit. Less than a month ago it appeared as though Rube was about to take the count. Tenny Blount, owner of the Detroit Stars, and generally looked upon as one of the pillars of the league, came forth with an attack on the "mighty one." Blount too had suffered heavy losses. According to his own statement a mere $5,000 had been sunken. Blount believed as Mrs. Taylor that Foster had gotten his share and cared little about his fellow-owners. Following Blount's first published statement came rumors of Foster's resignation as president of the league and reports that there would be no more Negro National League. But the robust magnate is far from through. He even claims that he will invade Blount's domain in Detroit and "carry on" next season. Go to it Rube, old dear, we in the East will look on pulling for "right" to prevail. "Y" Sport News The "Y" League season was officially opened Friday night, January 2, when the Community "Yellow Jackets" met the Dunbar Senegals. The dope was completely upset when the Dunbar Senegals completely demolished the 1924 champions. The Senegals started off at a fast-pace by racking up two straight baskets before Community could realize what it was all about. It was not until the last basket was made that the Senegals checked that furious attack which they had set. When the first final score was counted the Senegals were 24 and the Community 10. The second game of the League was played between the fast Lincoln Temple team and the steady Manchester of Northeast. The beginning of the game promised to be one of those last minute decisio games, but when in the last half the Manchester came back with one of those blazing attacks and completely subdued the fast Lincoln Temple team 22 to 14. On Friday, January 9th the Shiloh Baptist Church team will play the Augustine team the 3rd league game of the season and on Monday, January 12th the Keystone A.

OMEGA PSI PHI TO MEET IN 1926 AT TUSKEGEE The thirteenth annual grand conclave of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, one of the largest colored Greek letter fraternities in the world, consisting of fifty-four active chapters scattered throughout the United States and Canada with a membership numbering more than two thousand came to a close in Washington, December 31 with the selection of Tuskegee, Alabama, as the seat of the fourteenth annual conclave. The following officers, who comprise the Supreme Council of the Fraternity, were elected to guide the destinies of Omega during the ensuing year: Grand Basileus George L.

ARMSTRONG STUDENT WIRES HENRY CHRISTMAS TRIP NOVEL CHRISTMAS TREE One of the most novel and beautiful Christmas trees of the season has been erecte dand decorated by Reginald Wright of 1747 Church Street, Northwest. A great deal of originality has been shown in the design and in the setting of the background for this tree. There is also a lecture which accompanies the demonstration making it very unique and well worth while. At various points throughout the demonstration one sees the tree illuminated by only a spotlight, then suddenly a star appears, followed by the Statue of Liberty holding the torchlight, after which all is darkness and the little village below the tree is lighted by overhead street lights, and on one side is a mansion and a private garage which are wired with electric lights, even after the street lights have gone out.

The bell continues to ring until the track is clear and the train is on its way. Electric lights also ornament the tree. Mr. Wright is a former student of Armstrong High School in the Electrical Department and has shown wonderful initiative in this design. His tree will remain for a few days longer and a large number of both adults and children should see it at the above address, in the basement apartment. BRAGG-JACKSON NUPTIALS On beautiful Christmas cards bearing this engraved inscription: "With Christmas greetings and all good wishes for your happiness in the New Year. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. R. Bragg" adopted this unique method of announcing their marriage to their relatives and many friends. Mrs. Bragg was Miss Marie Antoinette Jackson, the popular daughter of Mrs. Ella J. Jackson of 1419 Fifth Street, Northwest. She is a teacher in the public school system of Baltimore, Maryland, a member of the faculty of school 104. Mr. Bragg belongs to one of Florida's most influential and substantial families.

Mr. and Mrs. Bragg are comfortably domiciled at 1419 Fifth Street, Northwest, where they will gladly welcome their relatives and friends. The marriage was quietly solemnized at Lesburg, Va. by Rev. W. R. Manly, who graduated from the Theological Department of Howard University the same year in which Mrs. Bragg graduated from Teachers' College of Howard University. PRINTERS SEEK BETTER TRADE SCHOOLS The Printers of the Government Printing Office were royally entertained by Mr. C. W. Williams at his residence, 443 4th Street, Northeast, on Thursday evening, January 1, 1925. A pleasant time was spent in anecdotes and telling of many laughable experiences of the printers; after which Mrs. Williams served a superb dinner which was heartily enjoyed. The printers endorsed the school budget as proposed by Dr. Ballou, and also directed the attention of the Board of Education to the inadequacy of facilities for teaching printing in the colored schools. It is especially desired that at the Cardoza Vocational School, the necessary equipment be added so that the course of instruction can be properly taught. Among those present were Messrs. J. E. Smith, Bernadine Smith, E. C. Cain, Edward Carter, W. T. Menard, A. B. Hughes, G. W. Shead and R. W. Stevens. Miss Dorothy B. Monroe of Kansas City, Missouri, but now a teacher of English and Physics in the High School Department of Pomonkey, Md., Training School, spent the holidays as the guest of Mrs. Ethel Hawkins, 3931 Donaldson Street, Northwest. She attended a number of the holiday functions and festivities and was entertained extensively. Mrs. Ethel Hawkins entertained at a house party on Friday night, January 2, in honor of her guest. Miss Monroe left Monday morning January 5th to attend a general meeting in La Plata, Md., after having spent a pleasant vacation. Miss Mabel Brown was home for the holidays from her school in Winston-Salem, N.C. She was among those at the party to join in the mirth and glee while dancing. Rev. S. R. Wilson, formerly of this city, has been transferred from Camden, S.C., as pastor of the Edward Chapel A. M. E. Z. Church to a pastorage at Miami, Fla. Mr. W. C. Johnson of Clifton Forge, Va., was a holiday visitor to see his brother who is convalescing at Garfield hospital.

But if a visitor should come here after a heavy fall of snow, he would not be so impressed. As is usual, mild, warm weather followed Saturday and Sunday's snow fall, blocking traffic both vehicle and pedestrian. Snow was shoveled from the sidewalks right into the gutters, thereby filling them by packing. It is very essential in clearing the streets after a fall of snow to clear the gutters. By so doing you facilitate the escape of water into the sewers. It can not be expected that the city will immediately remove a heavy snowfall from the streets by mechanical means. Such is almost impossible even in the largest cities. It may, however be expected to exercise much energy in clearing the main thoroughfares. The street car companies should devise a means of readily removing snow from their tracks; for during and immediately following a snow fall, the public is most in need of their services. In the residential, as well as in the business, sections the practice of shoveling snow from the sidewalks into the gutters should be discontinued, even if it be necessary to legislate to that effect. No worse disposition could be made of it than the throwing of it into the gutters. Piling it on the outer edge of the sidewalk, though marring the beauty of the sidewalk, would at least keep the gutters clear. If the gutters are clogged, when the snow begins to melt, there is slow drainage and the water backs up. In the event of a freezing spell, nothing less than a pick-ax will open them until warm weather comes again.

The Sterling postal rate increase bill affects second-class mail rates, incidently the newspaper publishing industry, more than it does any other. If passed in its present form, it will be effective for only ten months: April 15, 1925, to February 15, 1926. The newspaper publisher will be greatly handicapped in trying to accommodate himself to two postage rates for the halves of April and February, and, perhaps, a different rate for the remainder of 1926. The bill provides for the creation of a postal commission to study postal operations and to report to Congress at its next regular session revised rates. It is a costly experimentation, a vicious emergency measure for an emergency which does not exist, and a discredit to the Postoffice Department. There was a deficit for the last fiscal year of $14,463,000, but $12,842,000 of this was for mail carried free. If the users of the free mailing privilege had been charged this amount, the department's deficit last year would have been nominal. As business improves and increases postal receipts will be affected accordingly. In business, bookkeeping and operating methods precede or coincide with rate changes. Yet the bill could throw everything into the dark with a vague promise of correcting the consequences. Advance notice of any changes affecting a great industry should be so made as to give the industry sufficient time to adapt itself to the changes and its business to the fluctuations. We can see no need for a hasty and arbitrary postal increase. The Sterling bill defeats its own purpose. It is a misfit remedy for a fictitious deficit caused by jumbling a heavily charged and a gratuitous service. SORORITY CLOSES SUCCESSFUL MEET SORORITY CLOSES SUCCESSFUL MEET Philadelphia, Pa. (Special to Tribute)—The Kappa Alpha Sorority held one of its most successful conives here Thursday morning after being entertained at a mammoth breakfast dance. Following this affair the entire delegation journeyed to New York to be entertained by the Lambda Chapter of this representative organization which will have the unique distinction of entertaining three different national assemblies of this kind at once in International Hall on campus of Columbia University, the first time such has been used for an affair of this kind. The session opened last Saturday with an executive session at the Y. W. C. A. with Miss Pearl Mitchell, of Wilberforce and Oberlin and National President, in the chair. On Sunday at the Dunbar Theatre a public meeting was held at which time Dean Walk of Temple University delivered the address of welcome with a response by Miss Mitchell. Dr. Imes prominent Presbyterian Minister also spoke. Dr. Fausett represented the Kappa Alpha Fraternity. At this meeting three prominent voting ladies, members of this organization were presented: Miss Sonoma Talley of New York City winner of $500 prize in recent piano recital, Miss Naida Portia McCullough, Honor Pupil at University of California, and Miss Dorris Novel, Honor Graduate of University of Kansas. On Monday a pilgrimage was made to Fanuel Hall and Wanamaker's Store through special invitation. For this automobiles were furnished by Philadelphia citizens and special police escort ordered out by General Mer.ffic was halted along the are route. Special attention is being given at this session to affairs of inter-racial importance and several members have recently been invited to sit on commissions of this nature the most recent representation having been at Vassar College.

Mr. Carlton Dorsey, violin artist, of Washington, D.C., added much to the Tuesday night affair by his wonderful interpretations from well known composers. From a Washington viewpoint it is interesting to note that this most representative organization originated at Howard University and ten of the original members who have watched a most marvelous expansion during the past fifteen years were present during this session. About fifteen delegates were in attendance from Washington, D.C., representing the mother chapter. To Misses Pearl Mitchell, National President and Murray B. Atkins, National Secretary, much credit must be given for the success of the meeting, as the highest ideals of true womanhood stands preeminent in their every move. Miss Alberta Norwood was the outstanding figure of the hostess chapter in taking care of entertainment and comfort of the distinguished visitors. TO PRESENT FLAG.

L. PARKER "Time Flies"—Absurd. The Ku Klux and the Church At the bottom of the hardest philosophy of the most realistic mind one always finds a woman. * * * * * Do you know of a more senseless saying than "Time flies"? Does time do anything of the sort? Is there anything so slow in its movement as time—that is, time in its broadest sense? It is time as recorded which flies. Thus, a "day" flies, a "week" flies, a "month" flies, and a "year" flies. But these are but names, absurdly short and arbitrarily brief measurements of time. If our word "year" covered five "years," as we know them, instead of merely twelve "months," we should immediately feel the slowness of time in its passing. We have derived our philosophy of time's speed from the speedy labels we have affixed to time. The learned brethren of the Church now protest bitterly every time publicity is given to the Ku Klux Klan. If they were as shrewd as they are reputed to be they would be far less disturbed For the truth is that the Church benefited by a heavy bombardment. The real trouble with the strong, is a blatant and somehow feels that it is beyond all reason have all the force of law; hence absurdities as its effort to support idiotic support of the Comstock legislation quite as dishonest and statues which require country shy a year, to make sure that no num. Criticisms are not easily born true is this in America, where the of men unfamiliar with punctilious is shown in the attitude of an or can newspaper editors. Not on hundred ever ventures to print however dubious, or even against. The immunity it enjoys now in Jews enjoyed twenty years ago editors were under the thumbs of immunity was broken down by so bombastic and oppressive in that they suddenly found themselves anti-Semitic movement, and pre-gathered courage from it. My contention here is that this the Jews a great deal of good—the secure today, with attacks upon them when all they heard about them. First, it enables them to plan londly, it makes them privy, in so faults, and inspires them to men as a test of their leaders, and giving between the good and the bad, in the days of their immunity of the newspaper interview spec with active press-agents, advert drivers and gang bosses. This against the whole race. For the show a tendency to supplant them will be to their lasting benefit. I have no religious prejudices, prejudice against Christians in a feeble. I can not imagine myself or denying him any common rite is a Christian. Nevertheless, I do other men otherwise quite as are full of such prejudices, nor that they ought to be free to votarian respects and agrees with why I should respect or agree why cause of a social convention, we would injure both him and me. In the specific controversy best Church, I am frankly inclined because it has more courage and is more intelligent. Hardly can I archbishop, but it is a thousand anyone believing in the Imperial tween the Klan and the Church. The Klan can do no harm to that Church. They are too obviously vincing fair men against the we are still not so idiotic that the out effect—when it is opposite we will penetrate to genuine truth nesses. The Church, if it is wisely to remedy those weaknesses. Meanwhile, the show from the bat set in this world ever grows than a combat between Christian talent for hatred, almost a vocat creed denounces it specifically acting it down—perhaps this fact ers of the Freudian necroman mensely. Let them continue; false-face and bed-sheet will be burnt by the pitiless sun. For the truth is that the Church in the Republic would be greatly benefited by a heavy bombardment—the heavier, indeed, the better. The real trouble with the Church, where it happens to be strong, is a blatant and somewhat ridiculous complacency. It feels that it is beyond all reasonable criticism, and that its flats have all the force of law; hence, the frequent descent into such absurdities as its effort to suppress the birth-controllers and its idiotic support of the Comstock "clean books" bill—a piece of legislation quite as dishonest and quite as vicious as the Southern statues which require country sheriffs to search all nunneries once a year, to make sure that no nuns are held against their will. Criticisms are not easily borne by the Church. Especially true is this in America, where the hierarchy is largely made up of men unfamiliar with punctilio. The fear to criticise the church is shown in the attitude of an overwhelming majority of American newspaper editors. Not one American newspaper out of a hundred ever ventures to print anything against its enterprises, however dubious, or even against its personnel, however laxless. The immunity it enjoys now reminds one of the immunity the Jews enjoyed twenty years ago, when practically all American editors were under the thumbs of Jewish advertisers. That old immunity was broken down by the Jews themselves. They grew so bombastic and oppressive in their demands and pretensions that they suddenly found themselves face to face with a vigorous anti-Semitic movement, and presently even newspaper editors gathered courage from it. My contention here is that this anti-Semitic movement has done the Jews a great deal of good—that their position is actually more secure today, with attacks upon them going on openly, than it was when all they heard about themselves was flattering First, it enables them to plan their defense intelligently. Secondly, it makes them privy, in so far as they have sense, to their faults, and inspires them to mend their ways. Thirdly, it serves as a test of their leaders, and gives them a means of distinguishing between the good and the bad. Their most conspicuous leaders, in the days of their immunity, were bad ones: noisy rabbis of the newspaper interview species, professional charity-mongers with active press-agents, advertisers with the manners of mule drivers and gang bosses. This, I believe, built up a prejudice against the whole race. For the Jews today, under heavy fire, show a tendency to supplant them with better men, and the change will be to their lasting benefit. I have no religious prejudices. However, I may have a slight prejudice against Christians in general, but it is dispersed and feeble. I can not imagine myself laying any burden upon a man, or denying him any common right, on the sole ground that he is a Christian. Nevertheless, I can not dodge the fact that many other men otherwise quite as creditable to the Creator as I am, are full of such prejudices, nor can I rid myself of the notion that they ought to be free to voice them. The fact that a Christian respects and agrees with his pastor or bishop is no reason why I should respect or agree with him nor say I do, merely because of a social convention, when in fact I do not. To do so would injure both him and me. In the specific controversy between the Ku Klux Klan and the Church, I am frankly inclined towards the Church, if only because it has more courage and is, on the whole, more decent and more intelligent. Hardly can I imagine anyone believing in an archbishop, but it is a thousand times harder for me to imagine anyone believing in the Imperial Wizard. I welcome the war between the Klan and the Church, and herewith give three cheers. The Klan can do no harm to that which is sound and good in the Church. They are too obviously idiotic to have any hope of convincing fair men against the weight of the evidence. But they are still not so idiotic that their onslaught is wholly without effect—when it is apposite and honest. Now and then they will penetrate to genuine truths; they will unveil actual weaknesses. The Church, if it is wise, will not protest, but seek quietly to remedy those weaknesses. Meanwhile, the show from the sidelines is excellent. No combat set in this world ever grows more furious and extravagant than a combat between Christians. They seem to have a special talent for hatred, almost a vocation. Perhaps the fact that their creed denounces it specifically and is mainly concerned with putting it down—perhaps this fact has its significance for practitioners of the Freudian necromancy. I enjoy such slaughters immensely. Let them continue; for in the course of them many a false-face and bed-sheet will be pulled off, and many a fraud will be burnt by the pitiless sun. BAPTIST WOMEN PLAYED SANTA The Woman's Convention Auxiliary to the General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia was kept busy during the holidays playing Santa Claus. As is the custom, the Stoddard Baptist Home was given an elaborate Christmas party. In addition to the beautiful tree and an abundance of ice cream, each was given fruits and candies. An entertaining program, consisting of short addresses, humorous selections from Dunbar and special music all of which delighted the old folks was rendered. The president of the Woman's Convention, Mrs. A. C. Williams, with a number of her faithful aides, extended this Christmas cheer to the National training school, Lincoln Heights, D.C. the Colored Veterans' Hospital, Mt. Ayia and the shut-ins at Blue Plains. --- --- (I. L. Parker) THOS. FRAZIER CO. EXPANOS THOS. FRAZIER CO.

Adams greater communion and a higher sense of local pride than may be admitted for so great a city as the national capital where culture is supposed to nestle in a supreme mood of adequate security. We have Howard Conservatory with all its wealth of music in our midst, that's granted; but it is semi-local in character and we do not know of a single instance that the head of this body ever co-operated with local forces in any music effort whatsoever and properly we may not question the right of this director along this line since the institution is national in character, under government supervision and not subject to local influences. We have the public school coterig of musicians of a more purely local character but at the same time is not of local color. They constitute possibly the largest group of unorganized musicians in the city and their particular sphere. Their work centers in the musical uplift of the children of citizens, consequently it is of the people, by the pepole and for the people even though but indirectly so. They are a busy lot we assume, but is it not possible for them to find time to co-operate with other local musicians along the lines of advancing music as a whole in this city? We admit that organizing the music forces locally is very difficult indeed due in part to bias opinions, sketcheism, favoritism, class hatred, social prejudice, religious animosities and kindred reasons. We experienced that in the organizing of the Federation of Music Students last year; saw it in the local branch of the local Association of Negro Musicians; see it now in the meagre support to the Ar- EARN $25 TO $50 WEEK EARN $25 TO $50 WEEK Enter a Clean, Pleasant, Money Making Business BE YOUR OWN BOSS Learn Scientific Beauty Culture at Home by Mail Complete detailed course covering every phase of hair, skin, health, foot and hand cuiture, special hairdressing and straightening treatise.

BALTIMORE, RICHMOND AND WASHINGTON Baltimore, Maryland, our northern neighbor, is busily preparing to hold its second annual music festival composed of about one thousand participants including a monster chorus or not less than several hundred singers and an augmented band and orchestra combined all of which will be under the direction of Jack Thomas. This event will be held during February in the armory which seats ten thousand persons. Florence Cole-Talbert, well known vocalist, will again appear as star soloist with other musical highlights. Last year Nathaniel Dett directed the monster chorus in some of his own compositions and the results flattered the most sanguine expectations financially, artistically and materially. The funds were donated to local charities. Richmond, Virginia, our southern neighbor, boasts of a splendid choral organization and several minor music bodies that do credit to the music pride of its citizens. They, too, hold annual concerts inviting outside participants of star calibre to take leading roles as well as local talent. Richmond has a good ladies' choral club presenting high-class programs from time to time. Washington, D.C., our home town, can boast of nothing really tangible in the larger sense of musical activities. We have no civic choral, no civic orchestra no choir organization, no music organization to act as a sort of clearing house. We do have a civic band however known as the Community Centers Band and that's about the only thing we can claim as a stimulus to local pride. Baltimore and Richmond may therefore claim En Mo BB co sk cu A. tist Course Series; and find it through personal contact with local musicians generally hereabouts. The younger music folks are as much tainted with self conceit as the older musicians. Circles and sets are arrayed against each other continuously. Ancestry gets its knocks; from what school one studied or graduated is argued; the social linen is washed out; whether one is sprinkled or emerged in religious rites is debated; yes, a thousand and one things are resurrected from the mystic ages when an effort is made to organize and bring the masses together for their musical unlift. The Coleridge-Taylor Society, the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Choral Society, and other efforts have gone for naught simply because we fail to subordinate our personal interests. May not musical Washington be aroused from this lethargic state? OFFERS REWARD FOR SLAYERS OFFERS REWARD FOR SLAYERS Rosedale, Miss., Jan. 7—A reward of $200 is offered by the State for the capture, dead or alive, or information leading to the capture of the man who murdered James E. Mehlinger and wounded Ferdinand Mehlinger on the night of December 22, 1924, at their store at Mehlinger, Bolivar County, Mississippi. It is not known who committed the crime. The murderer fired from ambush and disappeared in the darkness without having been seen. In a circular issued by Sheriff Thomas, the murder is described as "cold blooded" and all citizens and officials are urged "to put forth every effort to ascertain and locate" the guilty party.

I received a scooter, red rocking chair, doll, jacket, wrist watch, pair of socks, box of writing paper, two pairs of oed room slippers, and two boxes of candy (one box from school and the other from Sunday School). I got candy, nuts, apples, and oranges and many other things. Mother says she is going to get me a pair of skates for my birthday and a wagon after New Years. I hope you had a Merry Merry Christmas and hope that you will have a happy New Year.

With this increased circulation and incident strengthening of the treasury, there has been a splendid increase in the type of the newspapers. This development is being noticed by white publishers and editors. The city editor of one of the largest daily newspapers in the world, wrote the following to a member rof A. N. P. staff recently: "Let me congratulate you and your associates on the big strides you are making in good journalism." Author of those lines is Robert M. Lee, city editor of the Chicago Tribune. A number of the big dailies of America have Colored men, and women, on their editorial staff. The race has not yet reached the progress in magazine publishing that it has in newspaper publishing. There are a number of magazines, the two msot widely read being the Crisis, the Opputunity and the Messenger. Magazine publication is expensive, and must be supported by advertising. It is believed that that day is not far away for Colored America. The big magazines of the country have turned toward Colored American subjects both in fiction and narrative. The fiction, from a racial viewpoint, has been "good, bad and indifferent." It has been difficult to find a writer who could properly present the true racial viewpoint, and if he were able, his product would not appeal to the editor—and after all, it is a matter of money rather than sentiment. There have been many books this year dealing with the Negro. Sales of this class of literature, by authors of both races, have been constantly on the increase. Music—The Great Soul Force There are those who believe that music is to be one of the great in bringing about fair recognition of Colored America. This belief is based on experience and conscience Music has always been a power in moving hearts of men; nowhere has it been more influential than in the music of Colored America. From the early history of America, down to the present, Colored musicians, of varying degrees of talent, have caught the fancy of white America, and in many cases, produced a feeling of respect that has been of lasting ben- uit. In recent years this musical consideration has held range all the way from jazz to grand opera, from the b'ues singer to Roland Hayes and Marion Anderson. It has found listeners in the syncopated orchestras, that set the blood tingling and the 'IT MATTERS NOT HOW FAR YOU THERE'S A RED CAB STATION A RED CAB Meter Rates 20 Cents for first 2-5 mile 20 Cents per mile thereafter Phone North I North I Courteous and polite chauffeurs who take No. 1—Whitelaw pride in making your No. 2—3rd and ride comfortable and safe.
