LOCAL MAN SUES DETECTIVES FOR $15,000 DAMAGES
Through Attorneys George E. C. Hayes, Joseph T. Settles and Mortimer M. Harris, Robert S. Brown of 12 Q Street, Northwest, has brought suit against nine headquarters detectives for $15,000 damages, actual and exemplary, for alleged unlawful entry of his home and assault upon him. The detectives sued are J. F. Walton, H. E. Brodie, T. F. Sweeny, D. J. Culinine, Ed J. Kelly, Robert Livingston, A. B. Scrivener, John A. McKimmie and Paul W. Jones. Brown claims that on September 5, 1924, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, these detectives broke into his home without his consent and over his protest and without any warrant or authority. He says that altho he had committed no crime or misdemeaner, they assaulted, cursed and threatened him. He charges that they subjected him and his family to insult, molested his personal belongings and searched and ransacked his home and premises.
By reason of these acts, he says, he has suffered great bodily and mental pain an this nervous system has been and is seriously shocked and injured and his reputation seriously damaged. By reason of the indignities heaped upon his wife by cursing, abusing and intimidation of her, he says, she was made ill and confined to her bed.
He asks the court to award him the sum of $15,000 as damages.
These alleged acts are said to have occurred at the time that police were trying to solve the Leisinger murder. The son of Mr. Brown was under suspicion it is said, and detectives visited the Brown home in search of him. The boy had reported at No. 2 precinct police station and inquired whether or not he was wanted in connection with the murder. He was told no. He left his address at the station house. But notwithstanding this, the headquarters detectives sued are said to have entered the Brown home without a warrant and made the search which led to the suit.

FIRST NEGRO TO GRADUATE FROM UNIV. OF MINN. PASSES AWAY
The sudden death of Attorney Andrew S. Hilyer at his residence, 1833 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, Tuesday, January 13th, moved from this community, one of its most useful citizens. While Mr. Hilyer had been slightly ill, not any of his friends or his family, believed the end was so near.

He was active in organizing the first Negro business league in Washington, the Union League. Mr. Hilver over 30 years ago, took the first census of Negro business here and published the results in book form; this publication was continued for three years. He was one of the founders of the S. Coleridge Taylor Society which was instrumental in bringing to this country, the noted composer, S. Coleridge Taylor in 1904.

Selection of the jury, which is to decide the fate of Lloyd Monroe on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the killing of Policeman John W. Purcell on the night of October 15, 1923, was completed today in criminal court division No. 1 of the District Supreme Court. It required only 30 minutes to choose the twelve jurors.
Declines to Change Plea
Ernest A. Brown, Joseph P. Slaughter and William Ludley, who were jointly indicted with Monroe for the murder withdrew their former pleas of not guilty yesterday. Brown pleaded guilty to second degree murder. Slaughter and Ludley pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Monroe refused to change his plea and elected to go to trial on the charge.
According to the testimony given at the previous trial of the four men, in which the jury disagreed, Policeman John W. Purcell and Horace R. Crawford heard a noise in the alley in the rear of the Bell School, First Street and Virginia Avenue, Southwest. They entered the alley to investigate. Purcell flashed his light.
The staccato of rapid pistol firing followed. Purcell was wounded, but drew his gun as he felt and fired one shot. Crawford was also wounded, but managed to crawl to a patrol box and give the alarm.
An hour later the Emergency Hospital ambulance was summoned to 446 Six and One-Half Street, Southwest. Two headquarters detectives beat the ambulance to the call. They found George Ludley, brother of Will Ludley lying on a couch seriously wounded. He was rushed to the hospital. Told that he was dying he made statements which led to the arrest of his brother, William Ludley, Lloyd Monroe, Ernest Brown and Joe Slaughter. Officer Purcell died two days later.
Burial was in Harmony Cemetery.

As a member of the Advisory Committee of the Republican National Executive Committee which functioned during the recent presidential campaign, Dr. Emmett J. Scott has suggested to Honorable William M. Butler, Chairman, of the Republican National Executive Committee, and Honorable W. T. Galliber, Chairman of the Inaugural Committee, that invitations be extended to four colored military organizations of which the Colored people of the United States are very proud, to be present and take part in the Inaugural Parade on March 4th.
Included in this number are the 'Old Fifteenth' of New York, now known as the 369th Infantry; the Eighth Illinois of Chicago; the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia; and Company L of Massachusetts, the latter two of which were units of the 372nd Regiment of Infantry overseas.
Doctor Scott states that he feels quite sure that the Governors of the States of New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts will gladly cooperate in the matter of sending these particular military units to Washington for President Coolidge's inauguration.
Colonel Arthur Little, commanding officer of the 369th Infantry, the "Old Fifteenth" of New York, has written a very cordial letter in which he states that he has already formally applied through military channels for official designation to be among those military units of the organization to represent the State of New York at the inauguration.
Nurse Training at Florida State Normal School, Tallahassee, Fla.; and his wife, Dr. Amanda V. Gray-Hilyer, to whom he was married two years ago in New York City. His first wife Mrs. Marie E. Nicholas-Hilyer, died about eight years ago.
When the executive committee of the Central Committee of the Republican State Committee of the District, met this week, after transacting much other business and discussing plans for the inauguration, it proceeded to read Professor Kelly Miller out of the republican party.
Professor Miller, for nearly a half century, has been known as a stalwart republican. Up to the last campaign, he has taken the stump for the republican candidate every election year. However, this year, Professor Miller, like hundreds of other citizens, resented the attitude of the so-called bosses of the republican party.
Through his writings in the daily and weekly press, he severely censored the G. O. P. and implored it to divorce itself from the taint of the Klan and

JOB LIST DISCLOSES MANY ASPIRANTS FOR EXPECTED FEDERAL PATRONAGE
SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL WARREN IS REAL FRIEND
Colored Republicans are elated over the selection of Charles Beecher Warren, of Michigan, to succeed Harlan F. Stone as Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Stone has been nominated to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in place of Justice Joseph McKenna, resigned.
Mr. Warren won the gratitude of colored Republicans at the Chicago convention in 1920. When the National Committee met to hear contests and prepare a temporary roll for the National Convention, he championed their cause against the "lilywhites."
After the hearing of a number of contests from southern states involving the seating of delegates elected at conventions held in hotels which barred Negroes, Mr. Warren offered the following resolution, which was adopted by the National Committee.
"Henceforth no delegates will be recognized or seated at a convention session who have been elected at a meeting held in a hotel or other place at which Republicans have been excluded or barred."
"If the country had been combed," says Perry W. Howard, National Committee man for Mississippi and a special assistant to the Attorney General, "a finer successor to Attorney General Stone could not have been obtained. Added to his pre-eminent ability as a lawyer and statesman in his spirit of justice and fair play for all Americans."
Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee, says that "the cause of justice, the vigorous and just but not the malicious enforcement of the Federal laws, received a decided boon in the appointment of Charles Beecher Warren as the law and justice head of the Government. I know of no one who even approaches the high standard of benevolence, sympathy and even-handed justice for the American Negro as has characterized the life and attitude of Mr. Warren."

RAL PATRONAGE
It was learned at the White House that Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, has urged the President to appoint Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind., as Register of the Treasury to succeed Harley V. Speelman, the present incumbent.
Vann
From other reliable sources, how-
ever, the information is obtained that Robert L. Vann, editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, will likely be named by the President when he decides to make a change in the Registership. Mr. Vann, it is understood, is being supported by the powerful Mellon influences. Aaron E. Malone, president of the Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., is prominently mentioned in connection with this office. All three were active in the late campaign. Mr. Tidrington was with the Indiana State Committee. He directed the state campaign work among colored voters. Mr. Vann was a member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Committee, which was selected by Chairman William M. Butler. He was also connected with the eastern headquarters in New York City. Mr. Malone was active in the West and has been a large contributor to campaign funds.
Just how soon the President may deem it advisable to displace Mr. Speelman is not known. It was stated at the White House that no immediate change is contemplated. Under the terms of his appointment, Mr. Speelman may serve indefinitely. His commission does not automatically expire at the end of four years, but he continues in office at the pleasure of the President. He was appointed January 24, 1922.
The present salary of the Register of the Treasury is $5,600 a year. (Continued on page 8)

CANADIANS SEEK TO HOLD ESTATE OF VA. WOMAN
The fight over the estate of Mrs. Agnes West, who died in Nelson, B. C., in 1923, has assumed an international aspect. The State Department has been appealed to by Attorney Thomas L. Jones, who represents Frank West of this city, as the only heir to the property which is estimated to be worth around $25,000 to $30,000.
According to information given out by Attorney Jones, Mrs. Agnes West, who was born in Louisa County, Va., came to Washington over twenty years ago. After staying here for a while, she moved to Nelson, British Columbia. By hard work and frugal living, she acquired property in that part of Canada, which has since increased in value.
At the time of her death, she had approximately $15,000 cash in the bank, also liberty bonds to the amount of $1500. Her jewelry and other personal property was valued at nearly $1000.
Her only heir is her son, Frank West of 1113 21st Street, Northwest. When he went to put his claim in for his mother's estate, the Canadian authorities, it is claimed, put every obstacle in his way. People in Nelson where his mother died, demanded that West establish his kinship and insisted upon the presentati of witness of the wedding of his mother which took place in Virginia in 1876. After much dickering, the Canadian court agreed to appoint agents here to take testimony, which was done. However, after much of this testimony was sent back to Nelson for the court's information, the authorities there tried to discredit most of it. So unreasonable were some of the demands of the Canadian authorities that Attorney Jones appealed to the State Department and succeeded in getting the American Counsel in the Nelson district, to take up the matter with the Canadian authorities. Attorney Jones has already received a letter from the American Counsel and matters have progressed so favorably so far, that he is now planning to leave here for Nelson, at which time he expects to have turned over to his client, the cattle estate.
Prudential Bank Elects New Board
On Tuesday, January 13th the Stockholders of The Prudential Bank held their annual meeting. Reports were read showing the progress of the bank. The stockholders were particularly pleased at the showing made. The bank opened for business July 23, 1923 and since that time it has made greater progress than any bank owned and operated by our people throughout the country. It is also interesting to note that this bank has taken every precaution against loss. It carries a heavy Indemnity Bond, which covers every employee and officer and in addition it carries an equally heavy burglar and hold-up insurance.
Mr. S. W. Rutherford, president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company and Dr. William H. Wilson, a well known practicing physician, were added to the directorate. The following shareholders will constitute the Board of Directors for the ensuing year, C. W. Banton, W. L. Board, James A. Cobb, A. M. Curtis, J. C. Dowling, E. G. Evans, M. M. Harris, John R. Hawkins E. S. Heywood, Allen F. Jackson, J. Hayden Johnson, L. Melendez King, M. S. Koonce, F. Morris Murray, Harry S. Pope, Peter W. Price, George A. Robinson, George W. Robinson, Louie A.

Monroe Re‘used To
Plead Guilty
(Continued from page 1)
ERG Mg
The four men were indicted for
murder in the first™ degree. There
were ten counts in the indictment. The
first five counts charged that they de-
liberately and with premeditated mal-
ice killed Officer Purcell, The second
five counts charged that they- killed
the officer while engaged in house-
breaking.
The Government sought to show at
the trial that Monroe knew that Eliza
Jones, 425. First Street, Southwest,
had ..won. about. $1,880 on “High
Speed” at Laufel a few days before
the homicide and thought that he
would invest his winnings im liquor.
Tt was whilé engaged in their plan of
breaking into his garage to carry out
this purpose, the Government con-
tended, they were surprised by the
officers,
The Government failed to prove
this theory of the murder. It elected
to stand on the first five counts in the
indietment, and Chief Justice Me@oy
presiding at the trial directed a ver-
dict of not guilty as to the second five
counts. {The fury was unable t9 agree
on a verdict as to the first five counts.
New Trial Ordered
Counsel for the. accused filed pleas
of former jeopardy on the ground
that both counts in the indictment re-
lated to the killing of Purcell. The
court denied this contention and also
writs of habeas corpus seeking the
release of the prisoners, and ordered
a new trial.

Alcoes and Athenians Ready For Basketball Clash at Casino Sunday
Alcoes and
Opening Sunday Game Expected To Draw Record Crowd
SENEGALS AND COMMUNITY IN PRELIMINARY GAME
The powerful Athenians of Baltimore, boasting of such stars as "Scrappy" Brown, Butler, Taylor, Baskerville and Keller, and the Alco A. C., District Champions for 1924, will open the Sunday basketball season tomorrow at Murray Casino at 3 p.m. The game has the whole town buzzing. The inauguration of basketball on Sunday is about to fill a long-felt want in the life of local basketball bugs. That Sunday afternoon gap between 3 and 6 has been filled to the full satisfaction of the public.
The preliminary game tomorrow will begin at 3 o'clock sharp. The Senegals and Community A. C. fives will clash in the opening tilt. These teams are now running a neck and neck race for the Y. M. C. A. Senior League championship. At sharp 4 o'clock the big game will get underway.
The Athenians and Alcoes have met on the court any number of times with odds about even. Both teams have been greatly strengthened this year. The Alcoes through the addition of K. Trigg, "Soup" Turner, Anderson, Stuart and others, along with such sterling veterans as Berry, Graves, Harris, Frazier and Blue are asking no odds of any amateur team in these parts.
Everybody here knows of "Scrapy" Brown's prowess. Scrapy has long ranked with the best forwards in the game. He has few equals as a passer and shooter. Baskerville is also a player of great promise, while Butler ranks with the country's leading guards.
Next Sunday, January 25, the Carlisle team will appear in the main attraction with a quint yet to be named Three of the best aggregations in the country are being considered as the Carlisle opponents. Along with the main game of January 25th the products of the Wendell Phillips High School of Chicago will serve on the bill. The Chicago performers won national fame last year by making the trip here and defeating Armstrong before a mammoth crowd at the Convention Hall. Four members of the aggregation are here and by the addition of other western players one of the strongest quints in the city has been formed. The Alcoes or another strong local team will face the Westerners.

The Sunday idea has struck a popular chord. Sport fans for many winters have longed for a place to go on Sunday afternoon. Scores of colored basketball lovers have been attending the white games at the Arcade. The management has announced that the best attractions obtainable will be secured. In addition to the appearances of the leading local teams, the best Baltimore, New York, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia can afford will be brought here and exhibited for a popular price. Special inducements in the way of a cut in the admission price and guaranteed seats will be offered the ladies. The future of Sunday basketball is up to local fans. We believe it will go over.
WE HAVE NO BASEBALL FUTURE
The Hot Stove League does not flourish in this man's town. That is so far as Negro baseball is concerned. About this time last year there was quite some talk about pro-baseball among our group, but there is little hope for us next season. It will surprise us if any games are played here by the Potomacs. We don't know what Ben Taylor's plans are but we don't think he plans to have a club here. It looks like we must again turn to the sandlotters. Yet they are greatly handicapped with no park to play in. And those are our troubles and even in the face of this handicap, Washington sends up her Winters, Lees, Wilisons, Fords and Gatewoods every year.
SUPPOSE WE REST THE HOWARD - C. I. A. A. A. CONTROVERSY
You have read much in this column about Howard and the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, in fact, too much. Two years ago the Tribune advocated Howard and Lincoln's withdrawal if the C. I. A. A. by-laws could not be adjusted to meet preparatory and college students. We doubt if an adjustment was ever seriously tried. The break came between Howard and the Association but not as expected.
The real fraternal spirit was ignored by both parties. In the first place Howard evaded the inevitable for two years and let a specific case decide the break. The Tribune also criticises Howard for not attending the last C. I. A. A. meeting and defending her stand in the Miller case and fighting to have the two protested games decided in her favor. Then Howard through her representative might have withdrawn in perfect harmony. But in the stead, Howard merely wired the withdrawal. Since her withdrawal Howard has put up a weak defense before the public.
On the other hand the seven remaining C. I. A. A. members, each and everyone had previously played teams outside of the Association, yet they went on record not to engage in athletic contests with Howard. This was to punish and if necessary, ruin Howard athletically, simply because the rules of the body in their present form were obstructive to peace and harmony. In the future we shall rest our Readers from this subject unless something of importance happens.
"Y" Sport News
The "Y" Big 5 successfully downed the Armstrong quint in a matinee game in the Armstrong gymnasium. The game was air-tight from start to finish, and developed to be one of rare games which come once in a life-time. Mr. Miller employed all of his tactics to over-come the five point lead, but by the clever playing of the "Y" aggregation, it was never reached.
On Tuesday, January 20, the "Y" team will play the St. Cyprian quint in the "Y" gymnasium.
Shiloh Baptist Church team completely subdued the Augustine A. C. in the third league game by a score of 24 to 6.

THE SMART SET HARMONY QUARTETTE
By B. T. Harvey, Director of Athletics Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.
As predicted by the writer in review of the 1923 season, the past season has surpassed others since 1916 in the closeness of scores, with two exceptions less than 18 points separating the victor from the loser, two ending in a 0-1 tie. Also previous records for attendance were shattered by the M.-T. I.; M.-A.U.; M.-M. B.; and A. U.-T. I. games.
The Morehouse Maroon Tigers, in spite of practically new team, were the center of attraction and the greatest drawing card. This was due to the previous year's record, the flashiness of their offense and the desire of fans to be present whenever the Tigers were beaten. The delayed bucks, forward passes, with multiple passes preceding the forward passes of the Maroon team gave the spectators thrills and the opponents uncomfortable moments. The Morehouse team closed the season with the following record: defeating Fisk, Talledega, Morris Brown, Ala., State and Tenn. State and losing to Tuskegee 10-0, A. U. 13-0, and, N. C. A. and T. 13-6 and tieing Benedict 0-0. With the prospective return of every member on the squad with the exception of A. S. Scott, halfback, the Morehouse followers look forward to another championship team in 1925.
Tuskegee Institute with a veteran team of two years' experience and a backfield that had played together for a longer period won the championship of the Southeastern section, defeating in the league Atlanta, Morehouse, Talladega, Fisk and Alabama State, also S. C. State, Camp Lening, and Fort Valley and playing Paul Quinn 0-10 tie in the post-season game at Waco, Texas. The Tuskegee team was the best defensive team in the league. Hence they were always content to play a kicking game relying on Stevenson's toe and their defense to keep their goal line from being crossed until a break gave them the ball inside of their opponents' 40-yard line. From here their best play was a Minnesota smash off tackle with Stevenson in F. B. position as a threat but most of the gains being made by Dalley, H. B. and Smith, Q.B. Tuskegee sorely missed the all-round playing and generalship of Smith during the latter part of the season. Tuskegee must develop a forward passing attack and a greater variety of plays to retain her title next year.
Atlanta University with a veteran team did not live up to expectations, and considered the season successful only in that after a lapse of 20 years it defeated Morehouse College after being outplayed and unable to make a single first down, by the recovery of two fumbles by the Morehouse backs and conversion of same into touchdowns. Atlanta defeated in the league, Clark, Fisk, Morehouse, tied Talladega, Morris Brown and lost to Tuskegee, defeating Claflin and Camp Benning. Atlanta relied for most of their gains on a delayed run with H. B. Greene carrying the ball. A. U. must develop an offense or the coming season will find them greatly handicapped to win.
Alabama State with the lightest team in the league commanded attention and won respect by defeating Talladega and holding Tuskegee at bay with a lead of 7-0 for 40 minutes only to succumb in the last 20 minutes to the battering attack of a new set of Tuskegee backs and lost 28-7. Coach Harris is to be commended for the showing of the team and all teams playing the "Hornets" in 1925 had better go loaded for bear.
Talladega experienced another rather unsatisfactory year, defeating Morris Brown, Fisk, tieing A. U., and losing to Morehouse and Tuskegee. Coach Kindle has had hard work in many ways to develop a team the last two years, but I am predicting that Talladega in 1925 will be a hard out for the league teams to crack.
The other teams of the league have all had disastrous seasons. Fisk with the loss of Johnson and Lunceford, failed to win a single league game in five starts. Morris Brown, with a corp of new coaches started like a house a-fire by defeating Clarke and Allen, and lost all the rest, except ties with Camp Benning and A. U. Individually the team gave great promise. But condition and co-ordination were lacking. Knoxville defeated Fisk and lost to Clark. Florida A. and M. did not play any league games.
Good Officiating
The past season was characterized for the most part by good officiating and the conduct of the various teams in such close and exciting games was commendable. However, the coaches must learn that it is impossible to question the veracity of the eyesight of an official or his personal honesty because of an adverse decision. The only legitimate excuses for a coach addressing an official during the game
THAT YOUNG ONE. IS
FOREVER BANGIN' ON THAT
MUSIC BOX-IF I HAD MY WAY
WITH IT, I D'TAKE IT TO THE
WOOD FILE.
are, questions of information, or interpretation of the rules. What an official sees or does not see, is not debatable. Fortunately, a number of the coaches of the league are coming to trust the sportmanship of each other. They are willing to select officials on the basis of efficiency alone and to believe absolutely in their integrity and to accept every decision as the conscientious opinion of the official. With the continuance and broadening of this attitude intercollegiate athletics in the southeast will be placed on a high plane and the contests will be a continual source of pleasure to the spectators and good will between the undergraduates and alumni of the various institutions.
Outstanding Players
Every year since 1916 with the exception of 1918, I have attempted to pick the 22 outstanding players among the schools in the Southeastern Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. This roster of members for 1924-25 includes Alabama State, Atlanta University, Clark, Florida A. and M., Fisk, Knoxville, Morehouse, MorrisBrown, Talladega, and Tuskegee. Unfortunately, Florida A. and M. did not play any league games nor did I have the opportunity of seeing Coach Bragg's team in action. Hence, not being acquainted with the strength of the opposition it has been impossible from the usual highly colored newspapers' reports to get an accurate line on the Florida men. However, I am looking forward to Florida A. and M. playing league teams next year. Knoxville College does not appear to have any outstanding men on a rather mediocre team. Before presenting the first and second teams let me give you the list of outstanding men on the individual teams from which the all-southeastern was picked:
Tuskegee—Stevenson, Bailey, Tadlock, Smith., Atlanta—Leake, Riley, Lamar, Greene. Morehouse—Cook, Irwin, Allen, Star. Morris-Brown—Clark, Cotton, Culbreath, Edwards. Fisk—Seay, Atkins, Burton. Talladega—Alexander, Parker, Jefferson, Solomon. Alabama State—Hall, Gilmer, Campbell, Wallace. Clark University—Williams, Cobb.
COACH H. J. LONG IS MIRACLE
COACH
Waco, Texas, January 10, 1925. In H. J. Long, Coach of the Champion Paul Quinn Tigers of this city the students and alumni believe that they have in their institution the greatest of miracle men. H. J. Long and his brother Fred Long, now head coach at Wiley College, were two of the greatest athletes ever turned out in the Little Nineteen Conference of Illinois. Both were stellar athletes and their names now stand out as immortals in the minds of the alumni of their alma mater, James Millikin University of Decatur, Illinois. Both are said to be two of the very best coaches in the game today.
With less than 150 boys enrolled in Paul Quinn, Col., Coach Long has succeeded in moulding the Chamionship team of the Texas Intercollegiate Conference. Not satisfied with the Championship of Texas, Coach Long went after bigger game, and his team succeeded in outplaying the highly touted Tuskegee Institute team in a scoreless tie, Paul Quinn making 18 first downs to Tuskegee's 4. Next in order came Langston University of Langston, Oklahoma, Champions of the Missouri Valley Conference, who were defeated by Paul Quinn by a score of 6 to 0. Shorter College, Claimants of the Championship of Arkansas, was overwhelmed by the Paul Quinn Tigers in a post season game by a score of 53 to 0.

Want Howard Game
The Texans believe that this Paul Quinn football team was one of the greatest teams in the country this past season, and they further hold that many of the highly touted Northern teams would fail miserably in their efforts to outshine these Southernners when it comes to football. Efforts are now well under way to match the '25 Tigers with Wilberforce, Hampton, Howard or some other leading Northern eleven. Coach Longs' methods are simple indeed. He simply makes all boys enrolled in the institution appear on the gridiron after school hours, and there goes to work with them.
Texas Coach Good
The Texas Conference boasts of a staff of Coaches, excelled by no other section of the country. H. B. Hucles, former Virginia Union star, is working wonders at Prairie View College; athlete is successful at Bishop while George Collins, Coe College College. L. W. Gordon, All-American quarterback of Talladega, is at the helm of the athletic ship at Texas College, and C. W.

ALCOES DOWN N. Y. LEGION 5
Too much reserve power. That tells the story of the victory of the Alcoes, District champions, over the New York Legion basketball team at the Lonecol Colonnade last Thursday night.
The Legion team got away with an early lead, which they kept until within the last five minutes of the first half. The score stood 18 to 16 against the Alcoes. Then, the continuous sending of fresh men into the affray had its effect as the endurance of the Gotham boys was tried. The first half closed with the score 22 to 20 in favor of the local champs.
The Legion basketers had no reserve players. As they became winded, the Alcoes stretched their lead in the second half to win the game by the score of 42 to 31. The score and summary are as fol-

WHAT SHALL BE THE LIMITS OF SEGREGATION?
Protests, not only in Washington, but in many of the States, are being made, and justly so, against the proposed jim-crow bathing beach for the Negro population of the District of Columbia. Those of the Race who can see beyond their noses, those who have not a selfish love, but a love for future generations, can see the sinister means by which the whites attempt to perpetuate the institution of segregation. They can see that, if the Negro continues the practice of meekly accepting varied forms of segregation, it will, in a few generations, be figuratively easy to set Washington, D.C., into any part of South Carolina without adjustment or friction. There will be no difference in the relationship of the two races here from that in South Carolina, Georgia or Mississippi.
The Negro in Washington is segregated in the churches, the educational system, the theatres, the departments of government, on the public play grounds, the golf links, et cetera, and is to be segregated, unless sufficient pressure is brought to bear to the contrary, in bathing facilities, residential allocation and what not. The Washington Tribune takes a firm stand against segregation in all phases be they open or secret. It calls upon all broad-minded, unselfish, race loving citizens and all organizations of Washington, and elsewhere, to co-operate with it in fighting to a finish the monster segregation. There must be unity of purpose if this monster is to lie prostrate. The Race must be alert, full of vision, possessed with a keen perception and a determination to fight, untiringly and incessantly, against segregation at the least provocation. Only by so doing can it be hoped that future generations may not feel the sting of this practice which always carries with economic loss as well as degradation.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
emphasis in education has changed. Twenty years ago, many, allowances were made for the personal character, individual child, but every child was assumed to be bad made to fit in to rigid educational system. And at the net result was to smother, rather than to fan it, to destroy rather than increase his usefulness. Grades the child is not made to fit the system, but the child to fit the child. Half-year promotions allow the students to go ahead and the dull students to repeat a week of time. Open air and convalescent schools care for incorrigible schools tame the unruly; mentality along the backward and feeble-minded. Junior high, at the gaps between the grades and the senior high special schools, technical schools and vocational schools, those who seek an immediate, definite and practical life. This is as it should be, for education is only so far as it takes the raw material of the industry and delivers him to the world a better individual and citizen. The final test is never in theory but in achieved thereby, the O Street Vocational School stands on O Street, near North Capitol, far off the beaten path of us, and unique in the District of Columbia in the city of all girl pupils and all women teachers—the only premises being the janitor—it is quietly but effusive out the problem of reaching those girls who drop after reaching the fifth or sixth grade. Many factors to the lives of these girls. Some are forced out of one of poverty; others drop out because unable to do the grades; others able to do the work of the grades still because they cannot see any gain in staying in; others just because they are restive. These are the great award whom the main efforts of the Vocational School and the aim is to hold them in school a few years; they are more mature, to awaken in them a desire for education if possible; but at all events, to send them to community self-respecting and, by means of their trade, they independent and self-supporting. Hope is that out of the various trades offered, the industry will find that which is most to her liking and which is good to her skill. Each girl must take a prescribed every encouragement is given her to make free use of her individual talent. The general atmosphere shows it. There are practically no disciplinary practice every girl is interested in her work and too busy to trouble. Those not interested soon find their way else, work shows it.
An exhibit recently held at the school work was one of those never would believe to have come from the hands of their early teens. Dainty underthings, waists, rampshades and other art work, culinary specialties, mistakable stamp of well-directed ability and faith. But best of all was the genuine pride which special and teachers took in their work. There lies the need for better things: better for the school and the pupil, better for the girls soon to graduate and go out in the choice is not between industrial education and education. Humanity is too complex for such a simple entend that there must be both and every variety of is honor in all tasks; and that education is best in place which best equips the prospective workman on individual or group to create true beauty and never job he is called to perform or contribution he is to make, no matter the scale, and best fits him to helpful life in society.
The emphasis in education has changed. Twenty years ago few, if any, allowances were made for the personal characteristics of the individual child, but every child was assumed to be standard and made to fit in to rigid educational system. And often enough the net result was to smother, rather than to fan his ambition; to destroy rather than increase his usefulness. Nowadays the child is not made to fit the system, but the system is made to fit the child. Half-year promotions allow the smart students to go ahead and the dull students to repeat without waste of time. Open air and convalescent schools care for the sickly; incorrigible schools tame the unruly; mentality schools nurse along the backward and feeble-minded. Junior high schools bridge the gaps between the grades and the senior high schools. Commercial schools, technical schools and vocational schools provide for those who seek an immediate, definite and practical preparation for life. This is as it should be, for education justifies itself only so far as it takes the raw material of the individual child and delivers him to the world a better individual and a better citizen. The final test is never in theory but in achievement.
Judged thereby, the O Street Vocational School stands high. Located on O Street, near North Capitol, far off the beaten track of most of us, and unique in the District of Columbia in that it is a school of all girl pupils and all women teachers—the only man on the premises being the janitor—it is quietly but effectively working out the problem of reaching those girls who drop out of school after reaching the fifth or sixth grade. Many factors enter into the lives of these girls. Some are forced out of school because of poverty; others drop out because unable to do the work of the grades; others able to do the work of the grades still drop out because they cannot see any gain in staying in; others quit school just because they are restive. These are the groups of girls toward whom the main efforts of the Vocational School are directed and the aim is to hold them in school a few years longer until they are more mature, to awaken in them a desire for further education if possible; but at all events, to send them out into the community self-respecting and, by means of their trade, economically independent and self-supporting.
The hope is that out of the various trades offered, the individual girl will find that which is most to her liking and which is best adapted to her skill. Each girl must take a prescribed course, but every encouragement is given her to make free use of and to develop her individual talent. The general atmosphere of the school shows it. There are practically no disciplinary problems because every girl is interested in her work and too busy to get into trouble. Those not interested soon find their way elsewhere. The work shows it.
At an exhibit recently held at the school work was on display which one never would believe to have come from the hands of girls in their early teens. Dainty underthings, waists, dresses, hats, lampshades and other art work, culinary specialities bore the unmistakable stamp of well-directed ability and faithful application. But best of all was the genuine pride which students, principal and teachers took in their work. There lies the promise of even better things: better for the school and the pupils yet to come, better for the girls soon to graduate and go out into jobs.
No, the choice is not between industrial education and classical education. Humanity is too complex for such a simple choice. We contend that there must be both and every variety of each. There is honor in all tasks; and that education is best in its time and place which best equips the prospective workman or workwoman, individual or group to create true beauty and utility in whatever job he is called to perform or contribution he is called upon to make, no matter the scale, and best fits him to live a full, helpful life in society.
FAULTS OF NEGRO BUSINESS MEN
race is without its faults. No race is without faults, so retard its progress. But the Colored American, age and experience, suffers most of all because of a fault Race business men have—a fault which does hard their progress and to hamper their success—is or as a result of being "Negro rich." Speaking genera tro start in business, and as soon as he gets to the he can pay his expenses and still have a surplus automobile and a diamond or so; he is too important to the little things which are, in the main, respons access.

No race is without its faults. No race is without faults which tend to retard its progress. But the Colored American, because of his age and experience, suffers most of all because of certain faults.
One fault Race business men have—a fault which does much to retard their progress and to hamper their success—is one which comes as a result of being "Negro rich." Speaking generally, let a Negro start in business, and as soon as he gets to the point where he can pay his expenses and still have a surplus, a high price automobile and a diamond or so; he is too important to attend to the little things which are, in the main, responsible for his success.
For a crass example: Tillie goes over a white grocer to buy her heavy kitchen supplies, but runs into a grocery store owned by a Negro to purchase a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread. Because she does not buy all her supplies from the Negro, he does not want to sell her the milk and bread—and tells her so. Of course it is known that he has more than bread and milk to sell

The Departments of State and of Justice are two posts in the Cabinet which require wide sympathy and imagination, great minds and much experience.

It was Mr. Hughes' task, under the Harding Administration, to restore working relations and to overcome influences which tended to encourage the Latin-American countries to look to Geneva for guidance in settling American problems. It was he who negotiated the German, Austrian and Hungarian separate treaties and recovered American rights under the armistice and the Versailles

It was he who played the commanding part in the naval armament limitation, Pacific concert and Far Eastern settlements reached at the Washington Conference.

In short—though we at times disagreed sharply with him on the ground that this or that was fantastic and wholly impracticable—his policy was without doubt, firm in its purposes and sincere in its devotion to the cause of international co-operation. It is a policy as to which history will hand down a verdict highly favorable to him.
For all these services he will be gratefully remembered. His departure in the midst of the very important conference at Paris is an occasion for sincere regret. Whether he goes by his own free will or by compulsion, the flame that he has kept ablaze, first at Washington and then at London, lighting a way toward peace, dies with his departure.
It leaves Mr. Coolidge in a position which calls for sympathy, without a real Secretary of State; for Mr. Kellogg's credentials do not show him to be the best qualified Republican available as Hughes' successor. His record as Ambassador to Great Britain is that of a second-rater, and does not show him to be qualified to carry out the policies that Mr. Coolidge may formulate; consequently, he will be a burden to the President, a burden which the closest collaboration with Senator Borah can not possibly lighten.

He lacks energy and ability in the diplomatic service and virility and independence of character. He is a party man of the most conventional partisan kind. We do not expect him to stand aloof from politics and vindicate the laws, nor do we expect the department to retain the high esteem to which it was restored by his predecessor. Mr. Stone
We are slowly emerging from the isolation blind alley of 1919 and 1920. There is still much to be done to give back to this Great Republic its true place and influence in world relations. But in the changes made we do not feel that competent workers—men with valuable experience and high calibre are being brought into the Cabinet. We, thus, logically fear the impending hardships.
and that the profit on these two items is insufficient to cover his over-head expenses. But by being discourteous to Tillie, he casts aside all hopes of ever gaining all her kitchen trade. If, on the other hand, he should treat her courteously, make her feel, by his congeniality, that it is a pleasure as well as a profit to serve her—even to a bottle of milk—he will, in the course of time, make not only a profit of two or three cents on her daily or weekly purchases, but will increase that profit many, many fold. And at the same time he will gain other customers through her as a satisfied customer.
Not only is this true in the grocery business, but is equally true in every other business in which Negroes are engaged. A man goes into a barber shop for a shave, but because he allows a special barber, and him alone, to cut his hair, other barbers do not care to shave him. Seemingly, they do not realize that to do so would increase their receipts fifteen cents or perhaps, at another time, more; nor do they know that each and every one has a right and a privilege to spend his or her money when and where it is a legal tender.
In business you cannot possess a more profitable attribute than the ability to create in each customer a desire to deal with you. A satisfied customer is the best, most profitable type of advertisement you can have. It is your greatest assurance for success. For the sake of your business, you may at times be required to lose a few cents in order to save a particular person's trade and the trade of those whom this person may influence.
Catering to the public, upon whom the business man is dependent, covers a broad scope. Little does the business man realize the effect, the consequences, produced when he tells a customer he has not the product demanded, and especially when this same customer seeks more than once without avail to purchase the same product. He should not allow a demand to go unnoticed. He should supply himself with a small quantity of the product demanded.

Therein lies the secret: quick sales, although small profits.
But instead of so doing, our business men will allow a firm to load them down with a product for which they have but few calls, merely because they can save a small discount by buying in large quantities. In reality they lose, for they have neither the fund nor the space for other products. Worse still, they lose or fail to gain other customers.

From Trieste the party will cross the Mediterranean Sea to Alexandria, Egypt, where their minds will doubtless begin to drift back through all history to the dim, previous ages of legend and tradition. Arriving in Cairo by train from Alexandria, the party will visit the Pyramids, Sphinx, Mameluke Tombs, The Nile, Bazaars, Museums, Gardens, etc. They will view here that city's strange medley of races, hear the babble of tongues and learn of the striking comingeling of the Oriental

as no singer of recent years, with one or two exceptions, has aroused such spontaneous enthusiasm in vocal art as has Abbie Mitchell, acclaimed by the press and music critics generally, both at home and abroad, as the greatest dramatic soprano of color and one among the most successful American vocalists. The Belgrade Jugo-Slavisher Journal a foreign newspaper, comments as follows: "Her operatic interpretation in French and German were marvelous, especially 'The Erkling' by Schubert in German and her French number by a Russian composer and her English renditions of 'Butterly' and 'Tosca' by Puccini, were given such original interpretation and nuance."
Individuality in Art
The individuality of a really great artist shows itself, in my opinion, at any early age. An extremely gifted child—and there are, after all, very few who deserve the name—one who and Occidental, the ancient and the modern, in architecture, art, races, customs, costumes and street sights and sounds.
And then, on to Palestine, a land held in reverence and veneration by the entire Christian world. The party will have headquarters in Jerusalem, the "Holy City," with its narrow, crooked streets, but every foot of which is replete with Bible lore. A complete program of sightseeing awaits them. Trips will be made to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mount of Olives, the site of Calvary, the Pool of Silom, the Garden of Gethsemane, Jordan, the Tomb of David, place of the Last Supper, Nazareth, Bethlehem, Tiberias, and countless other spots hallowed to all civilized men. They will spend two full weeks in Palestine, deepening their knowledge of the Holy Book and seeing at first hand what they have read about for years.

may lay claim to a real future as a great interpreting artist, can usually dispense with the aid of a teacher at an earlier age than most pupils. Technically, at least, he must know exactly what there is to know, though he may still need guidance in other respects. The first and most palpable sign of great talent is independence of teachers. I often see students of twenty or twenty-four or five literally hanging on their teachers' lips. They will make good teachers, good players, excellent musicians, perhaps; but they are not the stuff of which the great artist is made, and this is not to be expected.
It is just this independence of the judgment of others, of the dictum of others, this reliance on his own artistic conscience which marks the boundary line between the routine player and the artist. In his public playing the artist must be more or less a law unto himself, within the limits of esthetic principles which none would dream of violating. Yet even among artists there may be differences of opinion as regards interpretation. For instance, Hazel Harrison, pianist, may look at Debussy's "Claire de Lune" with different eyes than Roy W. Tibbs; Wesley I. Howard, violinist, may look at the viotti 22d Concerto with different eyes than Kemper Harreld; Jack Thomas, orchestra director, may view the three dances from Tschaikowsky's "Nutcracker" suite from a different standpoint than Dorey T. Rhodes. To one it may be a period composition whose antiquarianism makes certain claims. It should either be played as it stands or not at all. To the other the work in itself may be of dubious value, rather colorless, generally and possibly would lend it more light, more beauty by modernizing it to a certain degree in the playing; make it more palpable, more enjoyable to modern ears, without doing its music violence. This is an instance of one of those questions which the artist must decide for himself.
We could write more but close with this thought: Every diamond is at its best in a certain faceting, and just as a new faceting, a new manner of cutting and polishing a stone, often discloses new beauties, so the setting the faceting, of a musical idea often presents its charms in a newer and perhaps, lovlier light, as the individuality of the performer allows.

Leaving Jerusalem they will proceed to Haifa, Port Said and sail for Marseilles. After an extensive sightseeing tour of this wicked port-of-all men they will proceed by train through incomparable vineyards and flower-fields of France, arriving again in Paris. Then on to Calais, across the English Channel to Dover and thence to London. In London, city of a thousand sights, they will visit Windsor and Hampton Court, the National Gallery, British Museum, the parks, monuments, ancient buildings, historic sights and see many of the mementos of that country' great men. From there they go by train to Southampton, where they will sail for the home-land.
Ralph Thomas paid the supreme penalty Thursday morning for the murder of his wife. He was hung at the District jail. His execution closed a legal fight to save him from the gallows which went to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. The District Supreme Court found him guilty of first degree murder. Attorney Abner Siegel appealed, but the appellate affirmed the decision of the lower tribunal. According to evidence given at the trial, Thomas and his wife had separated. On the day the murder occurred, they met at the home of her brother where others were present.
Thomas invited his wife to accompany him to his room. She refused but later consented. He told her he wanted to give her $10 and a tablecloth.
The party went by automobile to the house where Thomas lived. He and his wife entered the house arm in arm. She told the other members of the party she would see them later. After a short time had elapsed one or two members of the party went to the house and asked for her. Thomas told them she was asleep. A little later he came out of the house, met her brother and told him that she was asleep. Not satisfied with the answer her brother and another person entered the house and found the bedclothes and pillows piled on what proved to be the body of Thomas' wife. Her throat had been slashed from ear to ear.
He was arrested that night and charged with murder. At police headquarters the next day he made a statement in which he described the killing as follows:
"Huggins (one of the persons in the automobile) was blowing his horn. I went to the window and told him she was not going and she said that yes she was going. I told her that no, she was not, and she said if she did not go there was going to be hell, as 'I would kill you for him'; she then made some kind of a move. I then got up from the bed and went to the dresser and got my razor, came back to the bed and sat down and then she said, 'You have got that damn razor,' and I said, 'Yes.' She then grabbed me around the neck. I then opened the razor with my right hand and put my left hand around her neck and cut with my right hand and then laid her across the bed. She raised up and grabbed me by my hands. I then pushed her back on the bed again. I got up and lit the lamp and changed my clothes and then went downstairs and met her brother. He asked me if his sister was coming down. I told him that she was and that I was going after a bottle of ginger ale."
Self Defense
His statement on the witness stand differed somewhat from his written confession. He testified that while they were sitting on the bed, she announced that she was going to kill him. She went in her stockings, he swore, and he got his razor which was lying on a table. She caught his neck in a crook, he said, "and I tried in an effort to get away from her by trying to get the knife out of the other hand, and it was impossible for me after wrestling." He got his razor, he told the jury. He then described the motion with which he slashed her throat.

MOST PROGRESSIVE NEGRO
WOMAN IN WASHINGTON
Tribunites Hail Miss Nannie H.
Burroughs as Their Ideal
In our history questions*for Octo-
ber 14, 1922, one question was: “Who
do you think is the most progressive
“Negro woman in Washington, and
why?”
All the Tribunites sent in the name
of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs.
Here are just a few of the state-
‘ments sent in. These statements
‘were selected at random.
C. Priscilla Shorter, age 13: “Miss
‘Nannie Burroughs is the most—pro-
gressive Negro woman in Washington.
‘She has established a training school
for Negro women and girls. She also
organized the Sun Light Laundry.”.
Lawrennce A. Trimmer, (age?): “I
think Miss Nannie Burroughs is the
most, progressive Negro woman in
Washington. She has built a training
school to train our girls.”
Janet Watson, age 15: “Miss Nan-
nie Burroughs is another Booker T.
Washington. She teaches one to train
the hands as well as to train the head.
Miss Burroughs is a great woman and
we should:say so while she is living.”
Cornelis: Jackson,-age 16: “My
reason for thinking that Miss Nanie
Burroughs is our most progressive
woman is ‘because she is interested
‘in the welfare of others, If she was
se‘fish the National Training School
in Lincoln Heights, D. C., would have
never been established. Progress
comes by thinking of others.”
Edith B. Morrison, age 12: “I think
Miss Nannie Burroughs is the most
progressive Negro woman in Wash='
‘ington because she has dane more to-
wards the advancements of Negroes
than any other woman in Washington.
efforts obtained money to build the
‘National Training School for Girls’
at Lincoin Heights. The school will
accommodate more than one hundred
girls-and there are several buildings
onthe grounds which are used as
workshops. Miss Burroughs has re-
cently built a steam laundry where the
girls may work and help to pay their
way through ‘school. It would’be hai
to find a more progressive woman.”

that most men would be afraid to
try,” :
Boys annd girls, Miss Burroughs’
skin ig not white. She has had to
struggle through hard and difficult
lessons, she had to feel the sting of
being a Negro, she had her hardships.

"DANTE'S INFERNO" AT THE REPUBLIC
A modern version of "Dante Inferno" will be presented at the Republic Theatre for five days beginning Saturday, Jan. 17, at 3 p.m. and continuing through Wednesday, January 21. This is the Wm. Fox production of "Dante's Inferno" which has been creating a furore throughout the country. The journey with Dante through Hell on the Road to Happiness makes for one of the biggest moving pictures of the year. A special music score has been composed for this picture and will be rendered on our new Moller Organ. The comedy attraction will be another of the famous Van Bibber comedies with Earle Foxe. The title of this one is "Paul Jones, Jr."
For the remaining two days of the week—Thursday and Friday, January 22 and 23, "The Story Without A Name" with Agnes Ayres and Antonio Moreno will be shown. This is the first great radio romance made into a picture. Besides the stars, the cast is composed of such well-known screen artists as Tyrone Power, Maurice Costello, Dagmar Godowsky and Louis Welheim. A comedy and other short subjects will also be shown.
To avoid the crowds at night, attendance is urged at the matinees of "Dante's Inferno." The admission price until 5 p.m. is only 10 cents. Same prices on Sundays and Holidays as Week Days.
BIG SHOW AT HOWARD
Next week, Manager George Tucker of the Howard Theatre, will present, the first minstrel of the season, when the curtain goes up on L. B. Holtkamp's famous Georgia Smart Set Minstrels. This show comes to the Howard with a reputation of one of the snappiest shows of its kind on the road today.
The Georgia Smart Set Minstrels has in its cast many of the best known performers in the show business. The chief comedians Willie Glover, Robert Underwood, Willie Edwards Leroy Knox, Leroy George and Charlie Nickerson. Besides a big brass band, the show boasts of one of the classiest jazz orchestras on the stage.
LOCAL TALENT DOES WELL "The Howard Follies" a breezy musical comedy in one act, was one of the main features at the Howard Theatre this week. The show was made up principally of local talent. While little time was available for the proper instruction, the chorus, was, never-the-less, one of the best seen on this stage this season. Several members of it show great promise as actors. Several numbers were put over with much vim.

Pythians Start Membership Drive
New Orleans, La.—At a Conference of the Grand Chancellors of the Knighta of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, held at Hot Springs, Arkansas, December 29th, 30th, 1924, it was decided that a Universal Campaign for membership should begin February 1, 1925, and end July 1, 1925 to add to the present membership at least fifty thousand new members during that period.
The Grand Chancellors and Grand Worthy Counsellors are required to report to the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Worthy Counselor, respectively, on the first day of each month; the number of new members added to their Subordinate Lodges and Subordinate Courts during the previous month.
A reduction in the joining fee has been offered in all Grand Lodge and Grand Court Jurisdictions during that period

Matthews
Other persons whose names are prominently mentioned in connection with appointments to Federal offices and the positions with which they are connected are as follows:
William C. Matthews, of Boston, Commissions of Immigratino at Boston.
Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W.Va., Recorder of Deeds.
James A. Cobb, of Washington, D.C., judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia.
S. D. McGill, of Jacksonville, Fla., Collector of Internal Revenue at Jacksonville.
A. E.
Hon. CHAS. E. MITCHELL
Joseph H. Watson, of Albany, Ga., Collector of Internal Revenue at Atlanta, Ga.
Gilchrist Stewart and George W. Harris, of New York, and Charles W. CoBurn, of Wilmington, Del., are also mentioned as probable appointees to Federal offices, but the exact offices to which they aspire are not definitely known.
The Matthews appointment is practically assured. He was here last Friday and in conference with the President, Senator William M. Butler and T. E. Clark, the President's personal secretary. He left Saturday afternoon for Chicago.
It is not probable, however, that Mr. Mitchell will be successful in ousting Arthur G. Froe, the present Recorder of Deeds. Since coming to Washington, Mr. Froe has made a wonderful record. As this office requires a man of legal training, it is doubtful if Mr. Mitchell will succeed in his ambition for this office. Both men are from West Virginia.
To Appear in Ziegfield's Revue at National Theatre, Next Week
THE MUSIC BAND
The Famous Harmonious Quartette C. this city, will appear as a special feature with Ziegfield's "Comic Supplement Revue" which opens at the National Theatre, here next week. If the quartette makes good in its specialty numbers next week, Mr. Ziegfield has promised them permanent employment. This quartette has won nation-wide fame through its concerts over the radio. The members of the quartette, as they appear on the above picture are: sitting, Gaylord C. Caldwell, first tenor and manager; standing, left to right, Louis C. Minor, basso; Jarrott B. Lee, baritone; Salisbury C. Brooks, second tenor.
It is not likely that the President will disturb Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General; Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds; Walter L. Cohen, Comptroller of Custom at New Orleans, and Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue at New York. If perchance Mr. Froe should be displaced, it is not believed that his successor will be a West Virginian.
The physical condition of Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia will preclude his reappointment at the expiration of his present commission. His present term will not expire until June 22, 1926. He has been incapaciated for nearly two years.
To Appear in Zieghfield National Theatre, here next week. If the numbers next week, Mr. Zieghfield has this quartette has won nation-wide radio. The members of the quartette are: sitting, Gaylord C. Caldwell, first to right, Louis C. Minor, basso; Jan Brooks, second tenor.

wishes to announce to its many patrons and friends that during the eight years that it has been in business our slogan has been and still is "Efficiency and Service."
As to our efficiency and service during that time, we can refer you to those families who have been our patrons in their hour of great distress.
We have never made or attempted to make the prices of our funerals. We leave that entirely to those whom we serve.
We think that every normal family knows better what they want to spend and are able to spend on their deceased loved ones, than any disinterested undertaker could know; therefore we leave the subject of cost entirely up to you.
We do say, however, that we handle the same line of goods that any or all of our competitors handle, and we can assure you that none of them can or will display more patience or take more time in showing you through spacious show rooms and helping you to make the cost of your selection whatever YOU want to make it, and not what WE want you to make it.
