RAPE CHARGE
AGAINST SPENCER
IS NOL-PROSSED
The indictment charging Maurice Spencer of 1551 Jackson Street, Northeast, with attempted rape in connection with an alleged assault upon Miss Olga Newman, a seventeen year old Miner Normal School girl, last spring has been nol-prossed.
"We don't give out to newspapers the reasons why we dismiss cases," was the arbitrary reply of United States Attorney Peyton Gordon when asked why the prosecution had been dropped.
Mrs. Newman, mother of the girl, expressed surprise at the news that the case had been dismissed. She had no knowledge of it, she said, and suggested that the attorneys be interviewed.
Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins represented him. The girl was represented by Attorney George E. C. Haves.

The Washington Tribune
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22—From the most authentic sources the information is obtained that the Standard Life Insurance Company has absolutely passed out of the ownership, control and management of our people.
Owned by White Company
On Thursday of last week, while many of the stockholders of the Standard Life Insurance Company were assembled in their annual meeting hoping that the company could be saved to the race through the help of several men of our race of financial standing who were present, a William Harris, white, acting head of the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tenn., walked into the meeting and, it is said, in a rather cold, gruff way, informed the stockholders (colored), assembled that he held in his hands 1,251 shares (a majority) of the of the 2,500 shares of the stock of the Standard Life Insurance Company and that he and his white associates had no intention of reselling the same to colored people, but on the other hand they intended to take over the business and run it as a part of the Southern Insurance Company.
This majority stock of Standard Life was acquired by the Southern Insurance Company through the manipulations of Heman E. Perry, president of Standard Life. In order to obtain unquestioned control of Standard Life after several attempts had been made to oust him, Perry hit upon the scheme of organizing The Service Company as a holding company. He offered four shares of Service for one of Standard, and unwary stockholders made the exchange. When Service became financially hard put, he hypotecated its assets, which included Standard Life stock, in a series of loans. One of the conditions of these loans was that whenever the Southeastern Securities Company (which company made the loans) felt that it was not properly secured, it had the right to demand the unconditional transfer of Standard Life to its control. Advantage was taken of this condition shortly before the stockholders' meeting.
Springs Surprise
During his remarks at the stockholders' meeting, Mr. Harris is alleged to have further stated that at the time the loans were made to the Service Company by the Southeastern Securities Company that, although Perry thought that he was dealing with Southeastern, he, Harris, was in fact making the loans and the Southeastern was merely acting as a broker for his company.
For nearly a year, one Silas Davis, a white man, has been acting for the Southeastern Securities Company as executive manager of Standard Life at a reputed salary of $1,500 a month. He was presumably in charge to protect the interests of the Southeastern, it having made loans amounting to a total of $150,000 on the Service Company securities.
It is further stated that Mr. Harris told the colored stockholders that the Southern Insurance Company intended to run the business from their Nashville office and that Atlanta would be merely a district office. This likely means that the several hundred colored employees formerly with Standard Life will be dropped, and the business records transferred to Nashville where there are only white executives and employees. The col-
ored field force will be kept, he is reported to have said, and if they "make it," they stay; if not, they go. He stated further, it is said, that they (the white men) intended to put two colored men on their board of seventeen directors.
$22 for $100
Stockholders in Standard Life, he stated, would receive Southern Insurance stock in the amount of $22 for every share of Standard Life stock at $100. Harris is reported to have said in this connection that his company did not have to give anything but they had decided to see that the innocent stockholders did not lose all.
Perry Improves Advice
Perry Ignores Advice
It is pointed out by one of the officials of the Standard Company that Perry in many of his wild-cat plunges ignored the advice, judgment and even sociates and even withheld from them the true status of affairs until it was too late to remedy the situation.
It is stated that on last Tuesday several men of prominence and financial standing, including Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual, Gibson of the Supreme Life and Lewis of Jacksonville, gathered in Atlanta to save the Standard Life, but that Perry missed them up to the last moment into believing that the white people who held the controlling amount of stock of the Standard, would turn it back to our people if the holders could be reimbursed for the money they had advanced to Perry. As a matter of fact, these white men had no intention of so doing, and it is said that Perry knew it. Perry is charged with having stated that he would rather see

Lloyd Monroe Found Guilty
Lloyd Monroe was found guilty of second degree murder by a jury in Criminal Court No. 1, Monday night, in connection with the killing of Policeman John W. Purecell in an alley near the Bell school, southwest, on October 15, 1923.
Second Trial
This was the second trial of Monroe on an indictment charging first degree murder. He, Ernest A. Brown, Joseph P. Slaughter and William Ludley were tried last summer, but the jury was unable to agree upon a verdict.
When the case was called for a retrial on January 12, Brown pleaded guilty to second degree murder, and Slaughter and Ludley pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Monroe refused to withdraw his former plea of not guilty-and on the next day his trial began with the selection of a jury in 30 minutes.
The Government contended that Monroe was the brains of a plot which had for its purpose the stealing of whiskey from a garage in southwest Washington. While the defendants were on a lot in the rear of this garage, Policeman Purcell and H. R. Crawford entered to investigate a noise which they had heard. The defendants opened fire, mortally wounding Purcell and seriously wounding Crawford. George Ludley, a brother of one of the defendants was also fatally wounded. Purcell died two days later.
VIRGIN ISLAND EDITOR JAILED FOR UTTERANCES
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands of U.S., January 10, 1925.-Rothschild Francis, militant editor of "The Emancipator" the outstanding political journal in the Virgin Islands, and the champion of equality of rights for the islanders, was tried in the District Court WITHOUT JURY on a charge of criminal libel, convicted and sentenced to thirty days imprisonment for publication of the following article which appeared in "The Emancipator" on December 27, 1924:
"A Native Baesko!"
"Something is wrong with our police force, everybody is saying. Recently a policeman fired a shot which lodged in the tub of a private citizen, then he attempted a false arrest, and before we were about to go to press he used his club in a brutal manner on a woman that he was ordered to take home, we understand. Merchants and other citizens are indignant. How long, oh justice! How long?"
The Judge of the District Court, George Washington Williams, a native of Maryland, the writer of a scurrions concerning the Virgin Islands" which appeared in "Current History" for February, 1924, in which he openly and viciously attacked Francis and his friends who are endeavoring to Americanize the Virgin Islands, presided.
Charles H. Gibson, another Marylander, who is Police Judge, Government Attorney and Chairman of the Electoral Board, prosecuted.
Judge Thiele appeared as counsel for the defendant, and established all the facts as stated in the above article.
Francis was granted a stay of five days to either accept the sentence or appeal.
The people are indignant; they consider justice was tempered with prejudice, racial and personal; they are impotent to remedy the situation, to look to their American brothers to assist them in changing this anomalous situation in an American possession with an un-American system of government, where trial by jury is withheld at the option of the judge of the District Court, who is appointed to office by the Governor, a Captain in the U. S. Navy.

TRANK DISCUSSION OF MORALS OF TEACHERS MISUNDERSTOOD BY SUPT. G. C. WILKINSON
Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Howard University dean of women, has created a stir in local society by questioning the propriety of school teachers and normal school pupils sponsoring and participating in a show of the kind of the "Pollyanna Revue," which was staged at the Lincoln Theater on Christmas night for the benefit of the Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Young Women's Christian Association.
Questions Raised
In an interview with Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the public schools, prior to the second performance of the "Pollyanna Revue" at a midnight show at the Lincoln Theatre last Friday, she raised the questoin of the propriety of having teachers, students and professional entertainers appear on the stage at the same time in a revue, in the future.
She also called his attention to the danger of having children lose their respect for teachers as a group if some of them took part in certain types of dancing.
Mr. Wilkinson took the matter up with the officers of divisions 10 to 13 of the public schools and wrote her to the effect that he did not regard the questions raised as coming within the scope of his official authority.
Notwithstanding that Dean Slowe had intended the conference to be of a private nature with a view to the best interest of the public and private school system, Mr. Wilkinson sent copies of his letter to the officers of the Pollyanna Club and the school officials with whom he had taken up the matter.
Makes Hot Reply
This brought forth from Dean Slowe a reply in which she stated that "it was from the standpoint of the professional attitude and dignity of teachers in their relations to the children and the community that I talked with you." She expressed her disagreement with the view of the school officers

that they should not call such matters to the notice of teachers. "It seems to me," she said, "that it is not only within the province, but it is the duty of the school organization to advise teachers that certain things are in keeping with professional dignity and certain things are not." Mr. Winkinson then made public the subject of the controversy. The facts, however, seemed distorted, and in order to make clear her position, Dean Slowe issued a statement covering the entire incident. She also made public the entire correspondence between her and Mr. Wilkinson.
The teachers who are members of the Pollyanna Club and participated in the revue are Mrs. Sevellon Savoy, Miss Jessie Parks, Mrs. Hartford Burwell, Mrs. S. Fisher Clarke, Mrs. Theophilus J. Houston, Miss Manie Lewis, Mrs. Miriam W. Lewis, Mrs. Joseph Murray, Mrs. Arthur B. McKinney and Miss Adella Parks. There was but one normal school student. She was Miss Beatrice Boyd. Other school teachers who participated were Miss Dorothy Craft, Miss Gwendolyn Hughes and Miss Cotterill L. Wharton of Baltimore.
The Pollyanna Club had no statement to make. They are willing to submit the question to the public. Miss Slowe's statement is as follows: Miss Slowe's Statement
"On Tuesday, January 13, I had an informal and what I thought was a confidential conference with Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson on the question of whether or not it was sound educational policy for teachers, high school and normal school students to appear on the stage in an entertainment of the type known as "the Revue," which had the following features:
"A cabaret scene, the Apache dance, the Hula or Hawaiian dance done by a teacher not connected with the Washington schools, a little child about eight years old who sang ragtime songs with a teacher not con-

Salaries of such appointees shall be fixed by the commission.
The Secretary of the Treasury would be authorized to furnish the commission with suitable quarters in Washington.
The duties of this commission would be to study the economic conditions of the Negro to study labor problems in which the Negro is interested; to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry among the Negroes in this country; to promote the general welfare of the Negro in industrial pursuits; to give aid, and to encourage the general uplift of the Negro; to work out plans for the solution of the different problems confronting the race in the United States; to consider all questions pertaining to the Negro that may be referred to it by any Government department, and report the proper solution of any and all problems that may be presented to it by any United States officer, the governor or attorney general of any of the States; or labor question that may be referred to it by any governor and to recommend what is necessary to regulate labor conditions for the best interest of the communities in which labor stability in the different states; to discourage Bolshevism wherever it may exist; to formulate a policy for mutual understanding and confidence between the races.

White Lawyer Called Down By Judge
The spectators in Judge Schult's police court were given a thrill Tuesday morning when Attys, J. M. Ricks and Armond Scott resented insult remarks made against the Negro race by a white lawyer. Judge Schult took sides with the colored lawyers in resenting the insulting remarks. Atty, Jacob Snare Detwiler, white, with offices at 486 La. Ave., N.W., had as his clients, a man and woman, colored who were charged with adultery. In making his arguments to the court, he stated that these two people are not living, any different from a majority of other colored people in the District and that because of this fact, they should not be severely condemned by the court.
No sooner had the white lawyer taken his seat, than Attorney J. M. Ricks., who is one of the oldest members of the bar, was on his feet challenging the statement. Atty. Ricks stated that in as much as there are two thirds more white people in the District than there are colored, it least three times as many whites were living in this state as colored. Attorney Armond Scott who was also in the court whose voiced his resentment. Judge Schulte agreed with these men, reprimanded Atty. Detwiler and had his remarks expunged from the record.

Another Garvey Ship Sails
New York City—The S. S. Booker T. Washington, of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of which Marcus Garvey is head, put to sea from this port Sunday on its maiden voyage. This is Garvey's second venture in the field of navigation, as he was head of the now defunct Black Star Line.

Bill Authorizing Appropriation for Howard Approved
The Crampton bill authorizing annual congressional appropriations for Howard University was favorably reported to the House last Tuesday by Representative Dallinger, Massachusetts, from the committee on education.
This bill would authorize Federal aid "in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of the university, no part of which shall be used for religious education."
It provides also that the bureau of education shall inspect the university at least once a year. Representative Louis C. Crampton of Michigan introduced it after university appropriations had been stricken from the Interior Department appropriation measure on points of order.
CLEAN SPORTS URGED.
North Carolina Colored Athletic Au-

Schools Divided Into Two Groups.
About 20 of the larger colore-
schools were represented in the meet-
ing of the North Carolina Athletic
Conference held at Livingstone Col-
lege, Salisbury, Saturday, January 10,
where the many problems concerning
fair and sportsman like conduct of
inter-school athletic contests were
considered and serious efforts made to
solve them.
In the period of about a dozen years that the Association has been functioning the situations surrounding inter-school athletics have become more and more complex and difficult to handle. The imperative need is for enough flexibility in the regulations of the conference, to accommodate it to the needs, both of the larger schools that are outgrowing their sister institutions in strength and prominence, especially in football and also of the new public high schools that are beginning to ask admission-to the conference. For their reason a temporary division of the schools for 1925 was made at this meeting.
So far availability is the only criterion determining the part of the school from which players are selected. Even the colleges draw their teams from the high school classes as well as from the college classes and the high schools draw their teams fro mclasses below the high school, if there are available men below the high school classes. No regulations have been made so far to provide that the personnel of teams shall come from definite departments of the school and so guarantee that only parallel organizations shall contest against each other. This same problem figures in the first serious break that has come this year in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
A TRIBUTE TO OUR LATE PASTOR, REV. HOLLAND POWELL
In the spring of 1914 Rev. Holland Powell, D.D., was called to pastor the Liberty Baptist Church then at 18th and E Sts., N.W., and on July 10th entered upon his duties as its shepherd.
Under the leadership and guidance of this Christian gentleman great success was achieved. He wrought well. Through the powerful sermons, the truths taught by example and precept, his kind and fatherly advice, he was the means of bringing into the church 761 members. The church has also flourished spiritually and financially.
We can not say that the voyage of this old ship of Zion, Liberty, has not been brought with danger sometimes, but with his eye on the campass, Christ Jesus, our beloved pastor, has guided us without a break.
Rev. Powell was a member of the Sunday School which during these ten tude. A large number of children have been transplanted into the church for service. He was also a member of the B. Y. P. U. This branch under his guidance has increased in Christian fortitude and Christian activities.
His advice and council will be missed as a member of missionary society. His heart was in the work of missions both home and foreign.
The educational work was never forgotten by him. His personal gifts per year were $200 or more for the uplift of mankind and promotion of God's kingdom. The Cause has lost one of God's business men.
The ladies of the Pulpit Circle have lost one whom they dearly loved—"Gone but not forgotten."
The Penny Club, Willing Workers, Friendly Societies, Ushers and Auxiliary Board and Men's League have all prospered under his leadership. The choir, was a source of comfort to the pastor. They co-operated with him in carrying out his ideas of Divine Service.
Rev. S. S. Wormley our assistant pastor has lost a dear friend and brother, trustees and deacons an advisor, the church a clean cut christian gentleman, a preacher, friend and counsellor.
He loved his church and could always be found at his post of duty on time. Punctuality he believed in and practiced.
During his illness we missed his presence and to-day we cannot realize that we shall never hear his loving words so gentle and so mild.
We have often heard him say, "When I leave Liberty I shall go straight to heaven."
We believe he is with his Heavenly Father. Many beautiful things could be said of the character of this good man, but space will not permit.
Monday when the angel of death came to his bedside, he welcomed him and I can imagine he looked by faith into the other side of Jordan where the tree of life is blooming and said "There is rest for me."
He did not rust out but wore out in the service of the Master.
Resolved that we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and commend them to the care of Him who doeth all things well.
We loved you and would have kept you
But Jesus loved you best."
Done by order of the church,
A. F. CHRISTOPHER, Clerk.

For Less Than $175 000 Whites Get Insurance Co.
(Continued from page 1)
white men with the business than to have it in the hands of colored men at the expense of his life's work.
Standard is Worth Millions
It is estimated by an insurance authority that the Standard Life Insurance Company by reason of its more than $25,000,00 of insurance in force, has a value of over $2,500,000. This, together with the equity in lands formerly held by the Service Company of nearly $1,000,000 makes a total value of approximately $3,500,000. This valuable business, built up by the support of the policyholders and the sacrifice and work of the field forces, now goes into the hands of Southern whites for a sum estimated to be about $175,000.
The original loans to Perry amounted to about $150,000. The amount of stock in the Southern Insurance Company to be issued to the colored stockholders of the Standard will be about $25,000, making a total of $175,000. It is therefore safe to say that the race suffers a direct monetary loss of about $3,325,000. The indirect loss is inestimable.
Many causes seemingly contributed to this failure. Unquestionably, the Standard Life could have gone on forever and been a gigantic success but for the "dreams" of Perry which resulted in the organization of the Service Company, and later the Citizens Trust Company.
The Service Company and the Citizens Trust Company
Standard Life money was used in the promotion of a long chain of enterprises promoted by The Service Company. The Citizens Trust Company formed the link between Standard Life and these numerous ventures. The funds of the Standard Life were put into the Citizens Trust and it in turn put these funds into the Service Company to promote these various enterprises.
In 1924 a booklet was issued by Perry in which these enterprises were listed as follows: Service Realty Com-
pany, a land development scheme; Service Chain of Pharmacies, Service Printing Company, Service Foundation, Service Farm Bureau, National Fuel Corporation, a coal mining proposition; Service Engineering and Construction Company, and Penny Savings Bank.
It was stated in this prospectus that the Service Company had a net worth of $5,500,000. Today it is reputed to be a worthless corporation. It is therefore evident that the Service Company has either lost $5,500,-000 or the statement made a year ago was not true.
Misleading Letter
The following letter was sent out, on a letter head of the Standard Life Company, to policyholders, under date of January 16, 1925:
January 16, 1925
Dear Policyholder:
You will be glad to learn that the security and protection behind your Standard Life policy was more than doubled yesterday when the stockholders of Standard Life voted to merge with the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee, the new company to be known as the Southern and Standard Life Insurance Company.
No doubt you have long ago learned that this is the day of big business. In all lines various businesses are combining for greater strength and larger service, and your company is only following the course of the larger and more successful organizations. The merger gives combined assets of nearly $5,000,000 and outstanding business of $75,000,000.
Not only have we added financial strength, but by merging with a southern white insurance company we have gained a host of friends among the other race who now become personally and very definitely interested in the happiness and prosperity of the colored people throughout the entire Southland. And this economic and moral inter-relationship, between the races must result in a better understanding and a more friendly spirit wherever the two races touch each other in the several states where the combined companies will operate.
The merger, however, does not change the operating personnel of Standard Life. You have the same board of directors and the same officers and assistants in charge here in the very same headquarters where the old familiar faces will greet you. We rejoice with you in this forward step. Urge your friends to get a Standard Life Policy and hold on to it. It is the surest way to protect your loved ones and provide for your old age. We have a policy for your every need. Don't you need more protection than you are now carrying? Write us freely. Yours for a larger service, HEMAN E. PERRY, President.
This letter seemingly attemp-
show that the taking over of The
Standard Life was by action of, and
with the desire of, the colored stock-
holders and board. Mr. Perry further
states in the letter that "We rejoice
with you in this forward step."
One of Standard's former officials
has said "either Mr. Perry is crazy
or he is attempting to further hood-
wink our people, for well does he
know that his associates do not rejoice, but to the contrary, on Thursday of last week, Mr. Pinkett, super-intendent of agencies, with tears flowing down his face, cried out in open meeting, 'My God, Perry, this is murder,' and thereupon withdrew from the room."

RaceCongressChanges Date of Annual Meeting
At a meeting yesterday afternoon of the executive committee of the National Race Congress, of which the Rev. W. H. Jernagin is president, the date of the next annual session was advanced from the first week in May to the first week in March. The annual sermon will be preached on the evening of March 3d, the business sessions, being in adjournment during the day of the inauguration, opening the 4th at 8 o'clock p.m. and continuing through to the 6th.
Ringing throughout the sessions, the theme under discussion will be "The Ballot and Representation." The slogan is: "Every Man His Ballot—His Constitutional Defense." These phrases have a peculiar import when being interpreted into action and are indicative of the serious attention being given this question by this organization. The Race Congress has accepted the franchise question as a supreme issue and has resolved to keep up an incessant fire until the suppression of the Colored vote at the South be entirely broken up.
QUEEN ESTHER CHAPTER
At the last communication of Queen Esther Chapter No. 1, O.E.S., the newly elected officers assumed the reign of government of the Chapter for the year 1925 and started right out laying plans and making arrangements for the healthy advancement of the same. Success, predicated upon peace, harmony and teamwork, is the goal to be fought for. Our newly elected Royal Matron seems to have a full and keen sense of the official responsibility of the Chapter which is and will be a unite in helping her succeed.

Now that Sunday basketball at the Casino is on its way toward a great future the management is determined to give the fans the best attractions attainable each and every Sunday afternoon.
Tomorrow, Sunday, January 25th at sharp 3 o'clock at Murray Casino the first game of a double-bill attraction will get under way. In the preliminary the Army War College team of the Washington Barracks will meet the Panthers, a very promising aggregation. The soldier quintet is picked from men formerly with the 10th Cavalry and 24th Infantry. The team is newly organized and is making its initial appearance away from its home court.
Carlisle vs. Chicago Dribblers
The main game will find the Carlisle Big Five clashing with the Chicago Dribblers, four of whom are better known as former members of the Wendell Phillips High School of Chicago, conquerers last February of the Armstrong High team. The Wendell Phillips products, already dubbed the "4 horsemen," are Spears, Johnson, Simpson and Phillips. The fifth member of the aggregation is Whitted. Few local basketball fans have forgotten that decisive defeat the Chicago tossers handed Armstrong last winter at the Convention Hall. Since coming East, the "Chicago Briblers" have held their own against all opposition. According to the club's management games have been booked with teams in Atlantic Rochelle.
Galaxy of Stars
Keuben Spears, center, is the shining light of the team. But only by a narrow margin does he loom over any of his teammates. Spears and Dennis Simpson, forward, played with the powerful Chicago Defender team some years ago. The former was also a member of the "Y' team of Chicago, state champions for 1922 and 1923 while the latter was a member of the Wabash Panthers, runner-up for the annual A. A. U. championship held in Kansas City. Lester Johnson, guard, captained the Phillips team two years and was selected to all-try honors twice. He was a member of the 8th Regiment Big Five which trimmed Loendi. Phillips, guard, was also connected with the

Alcoes In Thrilling Game Beat Athenians
OPEN SUNDAY GAMES BEFORE
BIG AUDIENCE
Displaying the most sensational brand of basketball ever shown by a local team the Aleoes, District Champions, scored a decisive victory over the much-touted Athenians of Baltimore by the score, 31-22.
The game opened the Sunday basketball season at the Casino before a representative audience. Scores of handsomely gowned ladies looked on to welcome the Sunday sport. "Soup" Turner was the offensive star of the game, scoring fifteen points for the Alcoe five. Coach Smith sent his reserves in on two occasions and they were equal to the occasion of matching the visitors.

8th Regiment Big Five. Whitted, forward, has been well drilled in the western style.
The Carlisle team needs little recommendation. The team has suffered for the lack of competition this year and has yet to strike its stride. Manager Conway has two clever sets of forwards in Eddie Davis and Benny 72 Contes has just been acquired to jump center. Jones and Braddice, have the first call at the guards with Mayo and Turner in reserve.
There will be no change in the admission price for this high class double-attraction. The usual fee of twenty-five cents for ladies will remain. More than 100 members of the fairer sex attenedd last Sunday's bill.
The schedule for Sunday, February 1st has not been completed as yet.
One of the features of the game Sunday; will be a special Musical Concert by the White Bros. Orchestra. This is one of the best known bands in the country and a rare musical treat is in store for all who attend. The band will feature Mt. Arthur "Shief" Wetzel, the comet demon, who has just returned from a tour of South America.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925
"Classic" Practically Assured; Letters Flow
[H. W. Press Service]
Additional correspondence regarding the Howard-Lincoln Football Classic was given out by the authorities of Howard University this week. This correspondence includes reply of Dean George Johnson, Faculty Representative of the Lincoln University Athletic Association and Dean of the College Department of Lincoln University, to a letter sent to him under date of January 7th by the authorities of Howard University.
In answer to your letter of January 7th to as whether the contract for the football game between Lincoln and Howard next Thanksgiving Day is to stand, I would reply that to the best of my knowledge it will stand, since it is not our policy to repudiate contracts once made and considered valid.
At the same time, since Howard has since the contract contains a clause that the game is to be played under the eligibility code of the C.I.A.A., I should like to inquire whether Howard repudiates this code, and if so, what code the game is to be played under? It would be very helpful to me personally in answering the many inquiries concerning the matter, if you would give me a direct categorical reply of this question.
Very truly yours,
(Signed)· GEORGE JOHNSON,
Dean of the College.
Doctor Scott, business manager of the board of athletic control of Howard University, in response to Dean communication:
I have your letter of January 8th. It is pleasing to all of us here that Howard's and Lincoln's athletic relations are to continue. We particularly appreciate the fine spirit you have shown in this whole matter.
Please permit me to say that it is the sense of our Board of Athletic Control that Howard's withdrawal from the C.I.A.A. does not alter our committal to the observance of the highest ethical principles of intercollegiate competition, or of both the law and spirit of her contractual agreements. Section 5 of our contract will be kept. Our withdrawal from the C.I.A.A. was because of the unfairness of certain phases of the Association's Constitution and By-Laws, primarily its non-observance of the compromise effected at the conference. May 10, 1924.
It is water that has already passed under the bridge to refer to the fact that even in our contract with Linech, Article 5 made it clear that it was our understanding that the 1924 and 1925 football games would be played under the general understanding effected and made clear by the compromise agreement of May 10, 1924
We have not as yet published our schedule awaiting a final word from you. We are anxious to do so. Very truly yours, (Signed) EMMETT J. SCOTT, Business Manager, Board of Athletic Control, Howard University. The above exchange of communications and the fraternal spirit of both seem to indicate that the Howard-Lincoln Classic will undoubtedly be played next fall as is the desire of the great public which has gvien its support to this important social and collegiate event.

Carlitles Lose in Extra Period to Legion Five
The New York Legion "5" staged a comeback Monday night and grabbed their first game on their eastern trip, defeating the local Carlisle quintet in an extra period affair, 32 to 30 at Murray Casino.
The game was the most bitterly fought witnessed here this year. The last half rally of the visitors featured the affair. Pat and Saitch the New York tennis marvel, led the visiting attack. Both scored many spectacular baskets, Pat caging one over half the court for probably the Casino distance record.

Lincoln Loses to Hampton Five
Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 15—Despite the bad weather, 1300 people packed into Musical Fund Hall and saw Hampton Institute win a great victory over the Lincoln Lions at basketball by a 40 to 13 score.
Lambright was an outstanding star and took scoring honors with 14 points. Hargrove, a New York City boy, was second highest scorer with 11 points. He was slowed up by an injury received in the Shaw game. Captain Jones and Langston continued to smother every threatening rally made by opponents.

Normal and Industrial Institute, where he received most of his secondary, education and played half-back on the football team.
He has performed at end and quarterback for West Virginia. Turner is one of the best all-round athletes in college ranks. He is a good passer, runner and superb kicker. In addition to football he plays both baseball and basketball and is an earnest, and capable student of more than average ability.
Basketball Notes
The Segegalts defeated Community in the preliminary to the Aco-Athenian game by the score, 29-23. The game was bitterly contested all the way.
The Omega and Kappa teams will battle this afternoon at the Murray Casino. In the preliminary game the Kappa Pledgees will present the "4 Horsemen" from the Wendell Phillips High School, Chicago. On February 7th, Phi Beta and Kappa will clash and on February 14th, the final league game will be played with Omega and Phi Beta clashing. Cups will be awarded the winner.
The Eighth Regiment basketball team of Chicago, featuring Sol Butler, former natoinal broadjump champion, will meet the Omega team here February 21st.
The Alco team opened against the Athenians with four former Armstrong stars in the line-up. Turner and Berry were at the forwards and Harris and Trigg at the guards. They are Westmoreland's products.
The St. Cyprian "Big 5" scored two victories this week. The Keystone A.C. of Howard University was defeated 34 to 30, while the "Y" Big Five suffered a 28-27 defeat.
(By P. Bernard Young, Jr.)
The one team Hampton has never quite been able to overtake to secure a final winning margin is Morehouse College of Atlanta, Ga. This year Hamptonians are determined to wrest the victory from the coming contest with Morehouse.
Hampton has only to continue her present stride to win her second consecutive intercollegiate championship. Since 1912 Hampton has won six intercollegiate titles and one national title in basketball. Following is the remainder of Hampton's schedule: Union at Hampton, Jan. 24; Virginia Seminary at Hampton, Jan. 31; Hampton at Union, Feb. 13; Hampton at Shaw, Feb. 14; Virginia Normal at Hampton, Feb. 21; Lincoln at Hampton, Feb. 23; and Morehouse, probably at Hampton, Feb. 28. Other games with A. and T. of Greensboro, N.C., and Virginia Seminary are pending.
DELANEY SOUND THRASHING Wilkesbarre, Pa. Jan. 19-Although most of the spectators at the fight here tonight between Jack Delaney, recent conqueror of "Tiger" Flowers, and Allentown Joe Gans, colored middleweight agreed that the latter had won by a wide margin, the referee awarded the fight to Delaney. One judge gave the advantage to Gans,

Life For Holmes and Freeman
James T. Holmes, 35 years old, and Harry W. Freeman, a youth of 20 years, were given the maximum penalty of life imprisonment by Chief Justice McCoy in Criminal Court No. 2, for the killing of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger on August 28, last. Holmes noted an appeal.
No Clemency
The sentence, like the jury verdict finding them guilty of second degree murder, was a surprise to counsel and those who have followed the case. It was thought that because of extenuating circumstances regarding the killing and the youth of Freeman, together with his family connections, they would be given the minimum sentence of 20 years imprisonment. In imposing sentence, however, the court declared that the prisoners had been given all the clemency that could be expected, as under the evidence the jury might have found them guilty of first degree murder, which would have carried the death penalty. The court took the view that these men were at war with society. They carried an automatic pistol and had a car equipped with a smoke screen.
"They were as much equipped for death-dealing," said Chief Justice McCoy," as our boys on the battlefields of France."
Story of Crime
Leisinger was slain early on the morning of August 23 from the rear of an automobile, in which Holmes, Freeman, John E. Gross and Helen Catherine Jackson were riding. The motive that impelled him to jump on this car will never be known, but it is presumed that he thought the girl was white. At the trial it was testified that the rear light was out.
The policeman opened fire, as the car picked up speed. Holmes, who was driving, passed the pistol to Freeman, and the latter, shooting thru the rear of the car, struck and killed Leisinger. The car then sped away leaving Leisinger's body lying in I Street, Northeast.
Assistant District Attorneys Burnett and Neudecker appeared for the Government. Holmes was represented by Attorney James A. O'Shea, and Freeman by Attorney John H. Wilson.
Helen Jackson was ordered held by the Coroner's jury, but the grand jury ignored the charge against her. A verdict of not guilty was directed by Chief Justice McCoy during the trial for Gross.

THE SLOWE-WILKINSON CONTROVERSY
In proverys between Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of University, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant of the Public Schools of Washington, D.C., of having teachers, students—especially and professional entertainers on the stage—occurred at the recent Pollyanna Revue, bride idea nor a new responsibility, but the naming of training young minds, who, in the end, has a broad, vivid sense of the duty and role teacher owes to the community and to the national strata of humanity.
Slowe, in twisting the point of view of a "problem" and then giving publicity thereto, betrayed has his public trust in a community in which an office. (Had he stated truly Miss Slowe he sure, judging from the names of those schools, that there would have been many to even the office of Assistant Superintendent because it was generally believed that he had of the role which the school plays on, and that he possessed the mental qualification it to play well its part. But, from the constrast that he has not grasped the position; has not learned the function of the show that democracy is an acquired product not a natural one, and that it is born in the know, as Dean Slowe says, "the proficiency of teachers in their relations to the citizen." Nor does he know that it is within his office to demand that a high standard of and dignity" be maintained by teachers in school hours. He goes on record as being the intent function of his office.
To the teacher to overcome the primal furious wasteful discord. We expect through his devotion of democracy and the establishment of law. Upon him only can we call, to successfully resist who dissolves Government, and the need to defy law and destroy the accumulated debt for their own fanaticisms.
Pass, in politics, in religion, every office of auction a certain dignity. To successfully serve dignity must be maintained and respected.
In the office of the teacher, up to and in education; for there the tutor must deal with minds by reason as by teaching. A child does not because of certain reasons, but merely by need. We need to examine and reconstruct our Teachers need to put foremost those pains which they are too much inclined to take in that self-respect which demands respectfully agree with Miss Slowe in her suggestion for it is the teacher's individuality, his own which commands the world. These are price, his treasure, the secret of popularity, success. His accomplishments and possesses. Yet, if he does not realize, as Dean Sloweongs are in keeping with professional dignity he are not," he can not demand respect, the child, a desire to learn.
The Washington Tribune is an institution for the masses. It is devoted to reform and progress. It is governed and actuated only by principles in so far as they make for justice, for harmony and for the general welfare of the poor. Its news department is fearless, impassionate and drastically independent.
The controversy between Miss Luey D. Slowe, Dean of Women at Howard University, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of the Public Schools of Washington, D.C., as to "the propriety of having teachers, students—especially high school students—and professional entertainers on the stage at the same time," as occurred at the recent Pollyanna Revue, brings to light, not a new idea nor a new responsibility, but the name of one in the profession of training young minds, who, in the person of Miss Slowe, has a broad, vivid sense of the duty and responsibility which the teacher owes to the community and to the whole social and educational strata of humanity.
Mr. Wilkinson, in twisting the point of view of a "private conference" and then giving publicity thereto, betrayed a private trust as he has his public trust in a community in which he holds an important office. (Had he stated truly Miss Slowe's suggestion, we are sure, judging from the names of those given as officers of the schools, that there would have been many to sustain it.) He was given the office of Assistant Superintendent of the Public Schools because it was generally believed that he knew the importance of the role which the schoolroom plays on the stage of progress, and that he possessed the mental qualifications which would enable it to play well its part. But, from time to time, he has demonstrated that he has not grasped the psychology of the young mind; has not learned the function of the classroom; does not know that democracy is an acquired product of intelligence and not a natural one, and that it is born in the schoolhouse. Nor does he know, as Dean Slowe says, "the professional attitude and dignity of teachers in their relations to the children and the community." Nor does he know that it is within the jurisdiction of his office to demand that a high standard of "professional attitude and dignity" be maintained by teachers both during and after school hours. He goes on record as being ignorant of an important function of his office.
We look to the teacher to overcome the primal function of ignorance in wasteful discord. We expect through his efforts the acquisition of democracy and the establishment of hearty cooperation. Upon him only can we call, to successfully combat the anarchist who dissolves Government, and the maniacal devotees who defy law and destroy the accumulated products of civilization for their own fanaticisms.
In business, in politics, in religion, every office of authority carries with it a certain dignity. To successfully serve its function that dignity must be maintained and respected. Especially true is this in the office of the teacher, up to and including the high school; for there the tutor must deal with minds governed, not so much by reason as by teaching. A child does not believe this or that because of certain reasons, but merely because it is so taught. We need to examine and reconstruct our system of education. Teachers need to put foremost those principles of democracy, which they are too much inclined to take for granted, and to create that self-respect which demands respect of others.
We heartily agree with Miss Slowe in her suggestion of an impropriety; for it is the teacher's individuality, his dignity, his self-respect, which commands the world. These are his pearls of great price, his treasure, the secret of popularity, the touchstone of success. His accomplishments and possessions matter but little. Yet, if he does not realize, as Dean Slowe says, "that certain things are in keeping with professional dignity and certain things are not," he can not demand respect, nor can he create, in the child, a desire to learn.

"The occasion for my query was the recent revue staged by the Pollyanna Club of Washington, some members of which were teachers. It was not my purpose to criticise the Club and had there been no teachers in it and no children involved, its name would not have been mentioned.
"Mr. Wilkinson and I talked over the situation for about a half an hour from the standpoint of two persons engaged in educational work, and agreed absolutely that teachers should be careful to hold up the highest standards of entertainment to

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925
Something of Interest
BY I. L. PARKER
The Eclipse of 1925 and Others
There is no certainty as to the sun; yet, through evidence cloud poetry and Chinese chronology, curred October 22, 2137 B.C.. for all of the four thousand years between this eclipse and the one has been observ
There is no certainty as to the earliest recorded eclipse of the sun; yet, through evidence clouded in the intricacies of Chinese poetry and Chinese chronology, we are able to find that one occurred October 22, 2137 B.C.. It is safe, however, to say that for all of the four thousand years and more which have intervened between this eclipse and the one which will occur Saturday, man has been observing these extraordinary phenomena and drawing his own conclusions. Lacking the advantages of chemistry or planetary dynamics, ancient man, no doubt, understood that his life depended upon the sun. It is difficult to imagine a more terrifying catastrophe than its sudden disappearance from the heavens.
With the aid of newspapers and grade school education, the appalling terror has been greatly removed from this spectacle. There are not likely to be many spasms of horror Saturday, the 24th instant. However, the belief that an eclipse

It was "some show," and uary 24th.
(I. L. Parker) was the effort of a rash monster to devour the sun, survived into the Middle Ages in Europe. Even after educated men understood the phenomenon, it was supposed to be an ominous portent. Scotland long remembered "Black Saturday" and "Mirk Monday," which marked the occasions of two total eclipses there.
Despite this, ancient scientists made extraordinary progress. The Chaldean astronomers, who lay out under the cloudless night skies of Mesopotamia and constructed their marvelous tables, knew that eclipses are caused by the passage of the moon's shadow, and are supposed to have been able to make approximate predictions of eclipses. Their knowledge was passed on to the Greeks, and on the authority of Herodotus, Thales of Miletus predicted the eclipse of May 28, 585 B.C. It fortunately overtook one of the early military attempts to settle the Near Eastern question and resulted in a cessation of hostilities and a peace treaty.
Two Old Testament miracles are accounted for by astronomers as being the result of two eclipses—one in 763 B.C. and the other in 689 B.C. The Hebrews were not astronomers.
Pericles is said to have been overtaken at sea by the eclipse of 431; he quieted the fright of his helmsman by holding a cloak over his eyes and asking him how that obscuration was any worse than the other, except in the size of the object.
The eclipse of 45 A.D. is said to have been announced by Emperor Claudius to his people beforehand, to avoid disturbances. Long before, Aristotle had taught that the sun, moon and earth are spherical, and Hipparchus had measured the moon's distance from ourselves with fair accuracy.
Astronomy and the other sciences were lost in the Dark Ages, and the monks watched eclipses with a quite reasonable fear. The son of Emperor Charlemagne is supposed to have died of fright in the eclipse of May 5, 840. However, with the revival of learning, astronomy was put on a sure footing again. In 1780, a scientific expedition left Harvard University for Penobscot Bay to observe an eclipse in America; yet at the eclipse of 1842, it is interesting to learn, the Italian populace "burst into applause" at the spectacle, and, in Milan, they cheered the astronomers. It was "some show," and it will be quite a show on January 24th.
"When publicity was given to my private conference, and when the object of my conference was not made plain in the letter of the Assistant Superintendent, I found it necessary to reply to him in vindication of myself, and this accounts for my letter.
Howard Affected
"I wish to add that whatever affects the educational ideals of this community affects the ideals of the students in the institution in which I labor. Therefore, there should be common agreement among those of us engaged in the high calling of teaching as to what ideals we think it best to foster. My interest in the matter is based upon this point chiefly, and upon my deep interest in the proper training of young people wherever they are.
"I think, as an American citizen, I have a right to express my opinion on any public matter whether anyone agrees with me or not."
Supt. Wilkinson's Letter
January 13, 1925
Dean Lucy D. Slowe,
Howard University,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Dean Slowe:
I have given very careful consideration to the proposition submitted to me by yourself in conference to the advisability of public school teachers and pupils participating in a Revue of the type recently staged by the Pollyanna Club. To reassure myself I took the liberty of submitting your criticism to the officers of Divisions 10-13.
The officers of Divisions 10-13 are of the opinion that your criticism should be forwarded by yourself to the Pollyanna Club and not to outside agencies; that while the school organization is to have in mind always the character and indeed the deportment of its employees, yet it can justify action only in the case of individual offenses; that the participation of school children in theatrical performances is a matter for parents to determine and not the school officials. The Officers are of the opinion that they have no jurisdiction in such cases. They do know, however, that the young ladies composing the membership of the Pollyanna Club are reasonable people, and believe that they would be willing to eliminate from their Revue any feature which you may prove to them to be undesirable or objectionable.
Very sincerely,

the Pollyanna Revue given at the Lincoln Theatre on December twenty-fifth, 1924. It is evident from your letter that you and the officers missed the only point in my unofficial interview with you. I discussed with you the propriety of having teachers students—especially high school students—and professional entertainers on the stage at the same time in the kind of entertainment given on Christmas night. I discussed further with you the danger of having children lose their respect for teachers as a group if some of them took part in certain types of dancing which, to say the least, are extreme. It was from the standpoint of the professional attitude and dignity of teachers in their relations to the children and the community that I talked with you.
It would have been proposteur for me to have come to the Assistant Superintendent of Schools to complain about or criticise the Pollyanna Club. I have intelligence enough to communicate directly with the Club if I wished to criticise them without having the Assistant Superintendent or the School Officers instruct me to do so.
It was not my purpose in talking with you to criticise the Pollyanna Club; in fact, I said to you definitely that the numbers participated in by the Club were among the most decent numbers in the whole program. My whole discussion with you emphasized the necessity of maintaining the dignity of the teaching profession both in the eyes of the students and of the community in general. My sole interest in the matter, so far as your office was concerned, was a professional one based upon my being a member of the teaching profession
I know as well as you do that the Pollyanna Club is made up of reasonable people, for I am personally acquainted with and have worked with some of them. You may rest assured that if I felt it my duty to say anything to the Pollyanna Club concerning its activities that I would say it directly to them and not to you.
In the second place, the opinion of the officers to the effect that the school organization can justify no action against teachers as a group has no point in relation to my interview with you, since I made no suggestion concerning taking action. I cannot agree, however, with the school organization in saying that officers should not call matters of public policy in which teachers are involved to the notice of teachers. It seems to me that it is not only within the province, but it is the duty of the school organization to advise teachers that certain things are in keeping with professional dignity and certain things are not. I am surprised at the position taken by the officers.
I quite agree that after school hours, school officials have no jurisdiction over children. However, school officials could at least advise parents of the wisdom or unwisdom of their children taking part in certain types of plays, and in my opinion should do so.
In conclusion, I am much surprised at your official opinion on the whole

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. I changed my skin complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25¢ at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

ach number in the puzzle indicates the position of the first letter of a
‘word.
Each word reads from left to right (horizontal) or downward (vertical),
sseeording to position. Lettered in correctly, words that cross will interlock.
“Bach number in the white squares also refers to a definition, a word de-
scription, or a synonym, in the accompanying table.
Bach definition, word deseription, or synonym, suggests a word possessing
‘he exact number of letters to fit the white spaces allotted to it.
Each white space is to receive one letter only. Words start only in num-
bered squares.
Each word must start at one of the numbered spaces—and must exactly
4ill ‘the white spaces bounded by black ones.

| THAT WORD “NIGGER”
| Have you done your duty as a Tri.
bunite by resenting the use of the
word “nigger” whenever it was made
by your playmate or buddy?
Let the year 1926 be one in which
you will be alert to-every malicious
allusion to your race. ‘There are sev.
eral words used in reference to the
race which have a tendency to belittle
‘us: “darky,” “coon,” and “nigger”—
‘the most common of wheih is the
word “nigger.” This word is used by
‘as many Negroes as it is by peopl
of other races. Sometimes I think
that it is used more within the race
than elsewhere,
The use of the word cannot always
be attributed to ignorance, I have
heard business men in the race, who
are always appealing to the people to
manifest more race pride, use the
word time and again in their ordi-
nary conversations.
They are representatives of the
race. Constant use of a thing is what
forms a habit. A habit slips out even
when we are on the alert. How does
4 Negro business man feel while
speaking to a white business man
when the old habit prompts him to
say “nigger”?
We must fight this habit, if we have
it: we must help our friends to fight
the habit if they have it,
If you ean but do this—the race
will have been made the better be-
cause of you. 3
Don’t say “nigger.”
Tribunites, again we are asking you
to send in your pictures, so that other
‘Tribunites may see just who you are.
If you want us to, we will return
your photograph to you.
Now will you hélp us to. make
the page more attractive by sending
im your peitures?

A statement recently published supposed by Adventists predicting the end of the world on February 8th, has created quite a sensation among a few folks.
The executive committee of the Seventh Day Adventists on January 20 issued the following repudiation of the date-setting announcement as follows: "We hereby place officially on record in the minutes of our general conference our repudiation of all time setting and record our protest against connecting the name of Seventh Day Adventists with the propaganda. A new we declare to the public that throughout our history our witness to the signs of the times that show Christ's second coming near at hand has ever been based on the Scriptural teachings that of that day and hour knoweth no man."

extended engagement of stock productions. Their first offering will be "Should a Woman Tell?" The play that caused so much discussion in Philadelphia recently. The story is of a womans' past, and should be seen by every woman in Washington. The cream of dramatic talent composes the personnel of the Manhattan Players Company. Among the players are: Evelyn Ellis, Lionel Monaras, Hayes L. Pryor, Margaret Hubbard Brown, Ruth Carr, Jack Carter, Robert Brown, Richard Gregg and others. Matinees will be given Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, when the seats in the entire house will be 30 cents. Nights, the entire orchestra will be 50 cents and the balcony 30 cents.
POLLYANNA REVUE
By special arrangements the Pollyanna Club presented the Pollyanna Revue in a return engagement at the Lincoln Theatre at a midnight show last Friday night.
In its entirety is was not as fine a production as the benefit performance. Nor was the audience as brilliant. The absence of Miss Beatrice Boyd from the chorus, S. H. Dudley, former comedian, and Miss Marie Mahord, an esthetic dancer of Flushing, L. I., detracted somewhat from the revue.
But the return engagement was not without its bright moments. Little eight-year old Margaret Brown, of Baltimore, Md., was just as captivating as on her former appearance here. "Isn't she cute," murmured the audience as she sang and danced to the accompaniment of Miss Constantia L. Wharton, also of Baltimore.
Miss Gwendolyn Hughes scored a second triumph. She was enced about a half dozen times when she led the chorus in singing "Pleasure Med." Mrs. Isabelle Webster, who was in the chorus ranks in the Christmas night show, rendered two numbers. She attracted considerably more attention in her newsboy make-up than as a chorus girl.
