Prominent Cafe Owner Sued For Divorce By Wife Students Begin Exodus From Fisk Supt. Wilkinson Again Under Fire First in Local Circulation. Vol. 4, No. 39 Supt. C. R. SCOTT SAYS SECONDMARRIAGE WAS NOT LEGAL Cornelius R. Scott, proprietor of the Waffle Shop, 807 Florida Avenue, Northwest, denies that Mrs. Emma A. Scott, who filed suit in the District Supreme Court yesterday for a limited divorce, is his lawful wife. Went Through Ceremony According to the petition of Mrs. Scott, they were married in Rockville, Md., on January 10, 1922. Mr. Scott admits that he went through a ceremony with her on that date in that place. He claims, however, that this marriage is invalid. He says that he and Hattie Pickett were married in Richmond, Va., June 17, 1896. A decree of divorce was granted by the corporation court of Alexandria, Va., on October 15, 1921, purporting to dissolve the bonds of matrimony between him and his first wife, but he claims that this court did not have the power or jurisdiction to grant a decree. He also cites a state law of Virginia, which provides that neither party to a divorce proceedings shall marry again within six months from the date of the decree. He and Mrs. Emma A. Scott were married two months and twenty-five days after the granting of the decree by the Alexandria Court. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Emma A. Scott charges her husband with the following specific acts of cruelty: On or about April 15, 1922, he struck her with his fist and beat her. This took place in Frederick, Md., she says. December 19, 1922, in Washington, he struck her with his fist and beat her and in police court he forfeited collateral on a charge growing out of this affair. May 18, 1924, he took from her her key to the room occupied by them and locked her out and when she asked him to return it he struck her on her head and snatched her umbrella and wilfully broke it although it was raining; he also called her a vile name. November 3, 1924, he complained to her that she had put him to expense for lawyers and knocked her down three times, cursed her, called her a "dam liar," a "thief," and a vile name. January 31, 1925, he entered their room and shut the window, cursed her, called her a "damned hussy" and seized her by the throat and choked her until she screamed for protection. She alleges that on May 15, 1924, he called the police and requested them to arrest her for larceny because she took $5 from his cash register, and in March, 1924, while she slept he stole her diamond ring. In the latter part of May, 1922, the plaintiff says, she went to Denver, Colorado, on account of her health and was slowly improving until he ignored the advice and warning of physicians and peremptorily ordered her to return to him in Washington about November 4, 1923, since which time the malady from which she is suffering has been constantly increasing in severity, unfitting her for labor and placing her beyond reasonable hope of recovery in the local climate. Reconciled Mrs. Scott says that on December 20, 1923, she left the defendant because of his cruelty, and on January 2, last, filed suit for a limited divorce and that an order of the court directed him to pay her $75 monthly alimony. Afterwards upon his promises that he would give her more than $75 per month, pay her debts, treat her right (Continued on page 3) THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E. ment Cafe The The Washington Tribune ents Wilk Charge of Intim Made Against Wilkinson A committee of the Board of Education is considering the charge that Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools in charge of colored schools, is using the power of his official position to intimidate his subordinates and to silence protests against his administrative acts. Policy Criticised The complainant is M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Bruce School. In a letter to the members of the Board of Education he tells them that Mr. Wilkinson summoned him to his office on January 6, 1925, and reprimanded him because he had criticised the policy of going outside the District public school system to obtain persons for administrative and executive positions. He says that Mr. Wilkinson advised him that he need not expect to be continued as principal of the Bruce School after the addition is built unless he confined his energies to the work of improving conditions at the present Bruce School. "This unexpected conference," Mr. Lucas wrote the board members, "was a shock to me from which even to this date I have not been able to recover." The summoning of Mr. Lucas to the office of the first assistant superintendent followed a meeting of the principals of the tenth division on January 5, last. Near the end of the meeting, Mr. Lucas stated that he thought every teacher should endorse the request of the administrative principals not to be shut off from merited promotions to the higher positions in the school system. Although Mr. Wilkinson made no reference to his statement in reprimanding him on the next morning, the inference is that his statement was the cause. While conditions at the Bruce School are not perfect, yet it is the general impression that they have greatly improved and are much better than they have been at any time in the past eighteen years. The teachers in the Bruce School attest to the efficiency of Mr. Lucas. In his letter Mr. Lucas says that he told Mr. Wilkinson at the time "that in all of my thirty-three years of service I had never had any charges brought against me, that my ratings were all 'E's and 'V.G.'s' and that his proceeding seemed unusual and unfair to me." National Hotel Organization Formed Here A national organization of Hotel Managers was perfected here Tuesday afternoon at a special meeting held at the New Liberty Hotel. Over twenty hotels were represented, either by letters of acceptance or their presence. Temporary officers and constitution and by-laws were adopted. Temporary officers elected were: Mr. J. I. Greenlease, of New Liberty Hotel, this city, president; Mr. R. F. Ware of Ware's Hotel, Highland Beach, Md., vice-president; Mrs. M. V. Golden, of Golden's Hotel, Colton, Md., secretary-treasurer. Nearly every leading hotel in the country has applied for membership in the newly formed organization. The organization will try to improve the general condition of hotels throughout the country; all members will be listed and a national campaign will be waged to educate the public to stay at hotels. life Own Wash WASHINGTON Begin kinson idation t Asst.-Supt. By Prof. Lucas Mr. Lucas further advised the board members that "I believe I was within my rights and within the scope of propriety when I said to my fellow principals that I hoped our teachers would, 'in a perfectly courteous and respectful manner,' request the school authorities to give recognition to home talent and experience. I believe this to be a fundamental principle for the welfare of our schools and our community." The controversy in regard to the policy of importing persons to fill the higher administrative vacancies in the school system has been going on for some time. It simply culminated in the written complaint of Mr. Lucas to the members of the Board of Education. The appointment of L. S. Perry as a supervising principal last June precipitated the controversy. He was the principal of a reform school at Blue Plains. Without any experience in public school work, he was imported to fill a vacancy, to which experienced and deserving persons already in the school system were more entitled by reason of their years of service. The immediate cause of the renewal of the controversy was the appointment of H. H. Long as supervising principal of the eleventh division. Until September last, Mr. Long had never had any experience in public school work. According to a memorandum submitted by Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Long's experience was limited to teaching at Howard University, Paine College and Knoxville College. In last September, he was appointed a teacher of psychology at the Miner Normal School. When Miss Marion P. Shadd was promoted to be an assistant superintendent, he was promoted to fill the vacancy as supervising principal of the eleventh division. Board Members Oppose Policy At a recent meeting of the Board of Education, certain members, particularly Captain Julius I. Peyser and Ernest Greenwood, expressed their disapproval of such action in no uncertain tones. They went on record as unqualifiedly favoring the promotion of persons already in the school system. The committee which is considering the charges will probably make its report at the next board meeting. Dr. Allen Returns To Norfolk Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church of Norfolk, Va., who was operated on at Carson's Private Hospital on January 28, for appendicitis, reutred to Norfolk, yesterday. Before leaving, Dr. Allen was loud in his praise of local ministers and friends who frequently visited him bringing cheer and comfort. Dr. Allen also praised the service rendered by Dr. Carson and his corp of nurses. It will probably be a month before Dr. Allen will be able to take complete charge of his pulpit. Mr. Greenlease at the close of the executive meeting, gave a sumptuous banquet to the members and guests present. One of the first hotels to join the association was Tom Smith's Hotel of Baltimore; Mr. Smith represented his house at the meeting. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 Old Controversy MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR MRS. LAYTON AND DOUGLASS Memorial exercises for Frederick Douglass and the late Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, will be held Sunday, February 15th at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church at 4 p.m., by District Federation of Colored Womens' Clubs of which Mrs. Layton was secretary for fourteen years. All organization and societies are invited to be present and take part in the meeting. A musical program will be rendered by the choir of Vermont Church. Mrs. Edna Gordon, Mrs. Martina Davis and Rev. Jas. H. Marshall will also give musical selections. Resolutions by the various societies on the death of Mrs. Layton will be read. TRUSTEES RUSH TO STEM EXODUS FROM FISK UNIV. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 11—L. Hollingsworth Wood of New York, vicechairman of the Board of Trustees of Fisk University, and other trustees have arrived here to hold a special meeting as a result of the most serious crisis in the history of the university. - Students Leave More than 100 students have left for their homes since last Friday. Others refuse to attend classes. Of an enrollment of 500, less than one-third attended classes today. Some classes were temporarily abandoned. The decision to strike came at chapel exercises last Thursday morning, when the entire student body met with a full faculty representation. Students assuming charge of the assembly hour, brought the issue directly to Dean J. L. Graham, who was presiding. Without detailed discussion, a representative of the students arose and asked for a vote. None, the students said, dissented from the proposal to strike. Immediately afterward students arose and left the chapel. Expulsion Brings Crisis The strike was precipitated by the expulsion of five students. They are Robert R. Anderson, Charlotte, N.C.; Edwin L. Goodwin, Tulsa, Okla.; Charles S. Lewis, Chattanooga; Geo. W. Spreator, Nashville, and Ernest Crossley, of Jackson, Miss., president of the senior class. Five seniors, Robert Anderson, Charlotte, N.C.; Victor Perry, Louis-Ville; Edwin Goodwin, Tulsa; Edward Taylor, Tuskegee, and Charles Lewis, Chattanooga, were arrested Wednesday night on a charge of inciting a riot. They employed ex-Governor A. H. Roberts and John P. Rhines to represent them. At the trial in police court, President F. A. McKenzie withdrew his charges against them. A charge of disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace was sustained. They were fined $50 each, but the fines were suspended during good conduct. The cases were appealed to the circuit court, and damage suits will be instituted charging false imprisonment and defamation of character. All of the five young men arrested were senior college students. Two of them were minors. They were of established good behavior and excellent scholarship. Following is the message sent to the Fisk board of trust in New York, addressed to Paul Cravath, president: "As a representative body of Fisk students, we desire to assure you (Continued on page 3) Mrs. Julia Mason Layton SEN. HARRELD Passes Away. Funeral SEEKS MEDICAL Services Held Wednesday BLDG. AT HOWARD A. M. E. Zion Bishops Take Stand on Big National Issues Parents and Teachers Form New Federation Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, one of the most prominent local women, died at the residence of her cousin, Mrs. Mary B. Jones, 523 Florida Avenue, Northwest, last Sunday morning, February 8th after a short illness. Her funeral services were held at one o'clock last Wednesday, Feb. 4th, from Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. The church was packed and floral tributes of every description were piled high and around the casket. Burial was in Harmony Cemetery. Julia Mason Layton was born in Middleburg, Loudon County, Va., fifty-nine years ago. She was the only child of Henry A. Mason and Julia D. Mason. She was educated in the public schools of the District of Columbia, leading her class in both the high and normal schools and upon graduation was appointed a teacher in the graded schools. She served as teacher for fourteen months and was then promoted to principal of the school. Later she was made principal to the Giddings School. From this school she was transferred and promoted to a teachership in the old M Street High Bishops E. D. W. Jones, of Washington, D.C., L. W. Kyles, of Winston Salem, N.C., and W. J. Walls, of Charlotte, N.C., representing the Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, which met in Charlotte, January 13th to 17th inclusive, this week issued their message to the country. The message was adopted in general outline during the meeting in Charlotte, but the special committee was named to give it proper form and then send out. In the message, in which the broader aspects of life and conduct are discussed, a general exhortation is given members of the race to observe cardinal principles in dealing with members of their race and also in defining their mental concepts of their relation to their government. Waint Labor Amendment. The Bishops favor the enactment of a Federal Child Labor law as well as for compulsory school attendance. A call is also sounded to members to support legitimate business enterprises operated by colored people. A plea is made for justice in courts for colored defendants and the present disregard for inhibitions of the Constitution in general, and the prohibition amendment in particular, which is alleged to have had its beginning in keeping from the black man his inalienable rights as a citizen. "We must come back to the Constitution in all points or it is useless to punish men for breaking it at some special point." The Negro press is commended for its vigilance and all are "advised and warned" to read and subscribe to the journals devoted to the Negro cause. The Bishops emphasize that Negroes are the best missionaries for Africa, "for they are the one group of Christians who go without the suspicion of being exploiters of these people and their lands." The settlement of international disputes in an international court is favored. Removal of American troops from (Continued on page 2) From Under on Layton z. Funeral Held Wednesday School, where she taught until her marriage to Prof. John T. Layton. Three children were born to this union, two boys and one girl. One son, Alfred, died about two years ago, the other son, Turner, is now in France. He was unable to get here for the funeral. She was a church member for forty-six years and engaged in all of its activities and was a deaconess at the time of her death. She was a member of numerous societies and took an active part in all civic and fraternal activities as well as political, in the District. So numerous were the memorials and condolences that they could not be read at the funeral. Special memorial services will be held at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday, February 15th at which time they will be read. Mrs. Layton was well aware that the end was near and before her death, made all the arrangements for the funeral services and other details. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in the District. Mr. E. W. Bundy, undertaker, had charge of the funeral and saw that every wish of Mrs. Layton's was carried out. Parents and Teachers' Form New Federation Representatives of practically all of the thirty Parent-Teacher Associations comprising the Colored Divisions of the Public School, met at the Dunbar High School Monday, February 2, 1925, and entered into a permanent organization to be known as the Federated Parent-Teacher Association of the District of Columbia. The adoption of the constitution and election of officers featured the meeting. Brief addresses were delivered by Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson and Mr. G. W. Jackson. The Federation approved the five year building program and the 1926 estimates for the public school as submitted by the Board of Education. A resolution offered by Major West Hamilton, "requesting Congress to continue the two branch Public Libraries, by reinserting in the current appropriations bill a sufficient allowance for the same" was unanimously adopted. The following officers were elected: Miss Lillian Robinson, president; Attorney John H. Wilson, vice-president; Attorney George A. Parker, secretary; Mrs. Bessie Kemp, assistant secretary; Mr. James Shamwell, treasurer. Four members of the executive committee will be elected at the next meeting which will be held after the Easter holidays. The movement was endorsed at a previous meeting held at the Dunbar High School upon the invitation of the First Assistant/Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson. Sued For $5,000.00 Suit for $5,000 damages has been filed against Richard C. Richardson by Grace E. White, through Attorneys Joseph N. Jones and Edmund M. Chaplin, for breach of contract. She alleges that she rented a room from him on the first floor of 1809 Fourteenth Street, Northwest, in which she conducted a beauty parlor, and that he unlawfully dispossessed her, resulting in the damaging of her personal property and the destruction of her business. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents Fisk Fire SEN. HARRELD SEEKS MEDICAL BLDG. AT HOWARD A bill authorizing appropriations for a medical school building and equipment for Howard Univ. was favorably reported last Saturday by Senator Harreld of Oklahoma from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. It provides for a medical school building to cost not exceeding $370,000, and for equipment for additions to medical school buildings to cost not exceeding $130,000. The committee recommended that it pass without amendment. This bill was introduced by Senator Phipps, Republican, of Colorado, after the Senate had failed to insert an item providing the sum of $370,000 for the construction of a medical building in the Interior Department appropriations bill. It was stricken from this bill in the House upon a point of order by Representative Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina. The report of the committee is in part as follows: "The Howard University is maintained by the Federal Government under the Department of the Interior and is the only education institution in the country (with the exception of a small school, the Meharry School, in the city of Nashville, Tenn.) maintaining a medical school for graduating colored physicians, dentists, and pharmacists. This institution, because of lack of room and equipment, can accommodate but comparatively few of the numerous applicants. The result is a dearth of colored physicians, dentists, and pharmacists throughout the country. The reason is not in the disinclination of colored young men to study medicine, but in the lack of medical schools maintained exclusively for their education as doctors and surgeons. Statistics show that there is a white physician to every 533 persons of the white race in the United States, while there is one colored physician to every 3,194 of the colored race. The disparity is even greater in the proportion of white and colored dentists. The bill carries $370,00 for a medical-school building for Howard University and $130,000 for equipment, a total of $500,000. "While many of the white medical schools are open to students of the colored race, the records show that few attend and only about one dozen graduate from these institutions each year as physicians. This means that if the serious shortage of colored physicians and dentists is to be eliminated the Government must render aid and provide additional facilities. "The records show it to be indisputable that neither white nor colored race has sufficient professionally trained physicians to combat diseases and that the burden of providing medical attendance comes upon the white physician both for 94,000,00 white persons as well as a large portion of the 12,000,000 colored people. "It is believed that if given the opportunity to obtain the necessary education the number of colored physicians and dentists would be greatly increased, so that every medical assistance could be given their own people." TO OBSERVE ATTUCKS DAY Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights League is seeking to have a nation wide observance of the death of Chrispus Attucks, the first martyr to American Independence. The association is calling on all fraternal and religious bodies to co-operate to make this day, March 5th, a day of National observance.

In every department of play and at every period of the game the Alcoes were supreme. "Soup" Turner and Archer Berry were the scoring phenoms of the winner's attack while Van Harris and Trigg held the Loendi scorers in check.

Parker) Institute, West Va.—Saturday afternoon's game between Howard University and West Virginia Collegiate Institute on the home floor of the later, furnished a throng of enthusiastic basketball fans with an hour of excitement that will long be remembered. Two well trained, hard fighting teams held the lead one after another until a final last five minute spurt brought to the West Virginians, then laboring under a two point handicap, both the lead and the victory, by the score of 40 to 43. The game was the fastest that has ever been played on the Institute floor. Howard's passing was swift and accurate, and their handling of the ball by far exceeded that of the victors. On the other hand, Coach Hamblin's system met, and met successfully, the best that has yet come out of the East. The teamwork of the West Virginians, though not nearly so spectacular as that of the Howardites, was far more effective. Even the very good guarding of such a collection as Howard put on the floor tried in vain to prevent what West Virginia almost believed is inevitable Everyone on both teams played well. For Howard, McCoy was perhaps the most outstanding. His eye for the basket was deadly, and his speed and deception have not been equalled on the Institute floor. No less deadly in caging baskets was Cobbs. He was particularly dangerous from the side-court. The three Howard forwards attracted considerable attention by the speed with which they made their shots. It seemed necessary only for them to get their hands on teh ball before it was sent on a sure and unerring journey for the network. Washington showed up well as an exceedingly clever center, untiring, in every play, and particularly good with the floor work. Institute's team lacked the flash and the spectacular play of the Howard boys. Sinclair and Gaithers each caged six, baskets, from the floor, more than any man on the Howard team, while Drain managed to collect three double-counters during the five minutes that he played. Cullums showed up well at guard, his quick thinking being one of the chief factors of the Institute offense.

C.-The withdrawal of Howard University from the C. I. A. A. occasioned many requests from other institutions to play Howard during the football season of 1925. It has been a problem to decide which of the many invitations the University should accept. Since Howard is definitely committed to the policy of confining all activities to the regular football season, a request for a post-season game with Morehouse College, Atlanta, for December 5th, had to be rejected. It is interesting to note that Howard's failure to accept the invitation from Morehouse to play a post season game in 1925, has occasioned an invitation to accept either of two dates on their schedule during the season of 1926, the game to be played in Atlanta or Washington as Howard may elect. The following games have been definitely contracted for: October— 3—Morgan College 10—Livingstone College 17—Johnson C. Smith 24—West Virginia Inst. 31—Cooper Union (New York) November— 7—Wilberforce University 14—Atlanta University 26—Linecoln University Only two games will be played away from Washington—the West Virginia and Lincoln games. In this schedule Morgan College has been substituted for A. and T. College of Greensboro, N.C., which joined the C.I.A.A. this year. Johnson C. Smith University takes the place of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School; Livingstone College replaces Virginia Theological Seminary and College; Wilberforce University replaces Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; and Atlanta University replaces Hampton Institute. Contrary to expectations, the "boycott" of the C.I.A.A. proved ineffective. Moreover, the above schedule does not call for a greater financial outlay than the schedule of 1923, when a number of the same teams listed in the present schedule appeared in Washington. Cooper Union, New York City, has taken a long step in advancing the principle of democracy among educational institutions in asking for a date on the Howard schedule. The Howard program has been worked out by Coach Watson, in counsel with the Howard Board of Athletic Control and serves to indicate that the policy of the new coaching system will be to play outstanding institutions of the country. Hampton, Va., Feb. 7—Led by McNichols in an attack that slowly gathered power and accuracy, Hampton Institute defeated the fast but inexperienced Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute basketball five by the one-sided score of 35 to 9. By virtue of this victory, Hampton now has become the strongest contender for championship honors in the Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Her number of consecutive triumphs at present is six. With two exceptions every team on the Hampton schedule is numbered among those which have taken the smaller end of the score. These two exceptions are A. and T. of Greensboro, N.C., and Morehouse College of Atlanta, Ga. Hampton's star center, Hargrove was not in the line-up. McNicholas with 13 points took scoring honors. Jones with 8 and Lambright with 7 came next. Jones was especially good, guarding well and shooting often. Lambright, McNichols, and in fact the whole first line-up of Hampton played well. Brown and Thatcher were Hampton's only substitutes to score. Smith, in guard, was especially good for the visitors, while Baker, Lewis, Epps, and Chambers all played hard. Hampton(35) Va.

Scott, Business Manager of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, which Board had charge of the management of the football classic played at Washington on Thanksgiving Day, 1924, the gross receipts amounted to $18,341.75. This sum represents the largest amount ever before received for a single athletic event in the history of Negro colleges. The receipts from the classic the year before (1923) when the game was played at Philadelphia amounted to $16,578.98. The receipts of the classic here at Washington in 1922 when Howard managed the game amounted to $12,285.39. The total received last November represents an increase of $6,056.36 over the last time Howard managed the classic, and $1,762.77 over the receipts of 1923. Total disbursements, including rent of the American League Park at Washington amounted to $6,343.95, leaving net receipts of $11,997.80, of which Howard as the host receives sixty per cent, or $7,198.68, and Lincoln forty per cent, or $4,799.12. The record set in 1924 by Howard, Lincoln will undertake to break at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, 1925, but this figure at present represents the high water mark of financial returns from a collegiate event among institutions specializing in the training of colored students. The particularly pleasing feature in connection with the staging of the classic this last year was the unusual case with which the great crowds were handled, both in connection with getting in and out of the park and the securing of the specially reserved seats. Commendation from various sources, including the faculty manager of athletics of Lincoln University, alumni and students of Lincoln and alumni and students of Howard, have come in connection with this especially pleasing feature of the classic. Next year the management of the game will be under the supervision of representatives of Lincoln University. VA. SEMINARY 17; SHAW 15 (By G. Henri Mitchell, Jr.) Raleigh, N.C., Feb. 6—Virginia Seminary defeated Shaw University last night, at the city auditorium in one of the fastest and most thrilling games of the season. Coming back at the beginning of the final period, holding the small end.of a 7-4 score, the Virginians fought their way to a dashing victory over the Shaw quint 17-15. Every one of the Shaw players showed up brilliantly. Whedbe stood out for Seminary. In the preliminary game, the Shaw University girls won from the Washington High School girls 21 to 5. VIRGINIA SEMINARY MAKES IT FIVE STRAIGHTS In a slowly played game, Virginia Seminary "Whirlwinds" made it five straights at A. and T. College's expense. Virginia Seminary now has a strong-hold on second place in the Association standing as a result of this win. A preliminary game was played between the Greensboro Teachers, Misses Fox, Marrow and West were stars. (Miss West is a sister of Charles West, former Washington and Jefferson athlete and twice winner of the pentathlon at the Penn Carnival.) "Pop" Steptee was star of the conquest making seven of his team's eleven points. Whedbee and Perry played a fine floor game. Seminary plays A. and T. in Lynchburg on February 19th and Lincoln February 27th. BUFFALO 22; WAR COLLEGE 16 The Buffalo A. C. played the War College team Friday and won with the scrore 22 to 16. Blackwell has his team ready to meet all teams in the district. The team is composed of the following players—B. Tyler, Blackwell, C. Furbey, H. Carter, forwards, Pooley, C. Bell, centers; W. Fauntroy, P. Mason, J. Jones, E. Williams guards. Games can be booked with Earl R. Williams, 1658 Kreamer Street, N.E. PASSES BAR EXAMINATION TALLY HOLMES National Tennis Champion, who re cently passed the Bar examination of the District "SOUP" TURNER, Alco forward, scored eight field goals against Loendi Basketball Notes The Alcoes and Omega teams will clash Saturday afternoon at Murray's Casino. This game should be a hummer. The Senegals set the Caliph A. C. of Baltimore back via the score 37 to 31 in Sunday's preliminary. The "Y" Big Five trimmed Omega, 31 to 28. The Omega quintet won the Howard fraternity championship with a clean slate of four victories and no defeats. Phi Beta Sigma fell before Omega in the final clash 27 to 26. It was the best game of the series. Dr. McLeod, local dentist, has been made the official timer for all big games. You never hear any argument over time, either. Doc is popular with the players. The Eighth Regiment quintet of Chicago will make two appearances here next week. On Saturday afternoon, 21st, at the Colonnade, the Omega Psi Phi team will clash with the Chicago psi team while Conway's Carlisles will take them on at the Casino on Sunday afternoon, February 22nd. The Eighth Regiment will bring an all-star team East. Sol Butler, former Olympic star is the outstanding individual, but Duf and Winters are widely known as great court players. The Regiment quintet, defeated the Baltimore Athenians recently 27 to 22. Johnson, Loendi player was bothered with a trick knee the night of the Alco-Loendi game. Much credit for the Alco performances this year must go to Coach Smith. The fans are beginning to yell for the first game of the Carlisle-Alco series. The best two out of three games should decide the local championship. The games should be played on Sunday afternoon. Loendi lost to the Panthers of Philadelphia, 36 to 22 and Wesley Hedgeman, 38 to 29. Physical Director Simmons has two leagues going big at the Y.M.C.A. The Renaissancees of New York, most likely the best colored aggregation in the country will appear here soon. A group of former Howard players will clash with the varsity later in the month. Huddy Oliver will appear with the old-timers.

We see a long-repressed (I. L. Parker) did believe Jupiter to be the first heavenly stop on the way to Paradise; "because the corona of the eclipse was pointed there." And the stubborn faith: those who believe for no other reason except that they do believe. The rest of us go on believing, if not in midnight ends of the world, at least in the perfection of our own sort of world, or its ability to stay put forever, or in the inevitability of the next war, or in the single-minded maliciousness of entire nations. * * * * * Houdini, the handcuff king, a showman and scientist devoted to the truth, saves us the trouble of having to argue with those who believe in ghosts and the worry of having to give haunts serious house room in our brains. Houdini has challenged all the spirit mediums in the world to win $10,000 of his savings by doing something with the aid of ghosts that he can not do with trickery. So long as his forfeit is unclaimed, we may, with a clear conscience, refuse to waste time on the seance parlors. However, Houdini's task is too big for one man. The dragon with which he is engaged-dwells in the slough of human ignorance. It is a swamp which is not to be drained and reclaimed for many centuries; yet the extent of the task does not lessen the obligation of this and coming generations to keep working at the job. Houdini has invaded the morass and annoyed the monster that feeds there. In every city in the United States, spirit mediums make a fat living out of the mental insufficiencies of a part of the people. It is, usually, that part which is unattached to a church and lacks the philosophy to find comfort in the thought of a short, conscious existence. Such people serve as a reminder that Jews and Gentiles, in their churches, have for centuries been fighting this battle that Houdini, the son of a rabbi, now wages in his shrewd, dogged manner. This sort of spirit medium is a type of gholu which seeks profit from the dead outside of graveyards. The victim is the bereaved person whom the affliction of death has caught unprepared by religion or philosophy. The age-long memory that we call instinct, beyond question, harks back to the time when our ancestors, hard pressed by pursuers, were driven into natural tunnels in the rocks, too often to find themselves trapped by falling boulders and forced to grope for days before they could gain the sunlight again. Underlying the horror awakened by the entombment of Floyd Collins in a branch of Mammoth Cave is a fear which is as old and as widely distributed as the human race. Yet the fascination which all danger holds seems to lure men to return and make repeated explorations, as children are impelled to do in the caves, large and small, which are to be found in almost every state in the Union. The Cro-Magnon people of southern France used such caverns, seemingly, for magical and mystical rites as primitive cathedrals. Being a light and warmth loving people, only a spirit of adventure and an abounding curiosity about all things mysterious is necessary to set us exploring the dark and cold depths of the earth. And every such adventure awakens thereafter an abiding horror which returns to plague us in our slumbers. Fear is, and always will be, a part of our natures; and, whenever one of our number is entrapped in the dripping gloom of an underground labyrinth, we shall be stirred to a man with a feeling which is akin to nothing else in our experience. for organization. Though it does not stop the movement, it does have a demoralizing effect upon it, and upon similar ones which might tend to dethrone the white gods. We sympathize deeply and sincerely with Garvey in his plight and hope that others may realize the possibility of organizing Negroes for high purposes in a more practical manner.

The proffer placed to he had to choose between a higher rate, pleasant job worthy of doing. His deeravard.

For a few pieces of just however important or effective. For rank to which this man may advance Pound's, require a combination proffessor and expert on amortizations, and he if he realizes the true position of theirs, he should know that any system, likely revolves around men, like himself comes to any man than to working in training their minds and setting efficacious channels. The Presidency of Wisconsin University was recently proffered to Roscoe Pound. Mr. Pound is at present Dean of the Law School at Harvard University. The proffer placed him in a position where he had to choose between a higher rank and more money and a pleasant job worthy of doing. His decision was to remain at Harvard. It is needless to say that it is gratifying to Harvardites and pleasing to all Harvard well-wishers. It adds greater prestige to the teacher and marks a criterion for those of the Race who attract much attention and wield much influence. Race men are too deliberately devoted to the acquisition of money and not enough to the common good that they can do. If, after years of hard work—teaching and preaching, to promote the most effective adjustment of, or adaptation to existing conditions—a member of the Race gains a position of influence and true worth, only the tinkle of the dollar is necessary to lure him from a work that he has come to understand and one in which he can bring forth great good, for leaders in the making, to one far less effective in its scope. For a few pieces of silver, he will desert any post however important or effective. The higher rank to which this man may advance may, like that of Dean Pound's, require a combination prophet, business man, booster and expert on amortizations, and he may be all of these; but, if he realizes the true position of the Negro in the world of affairs, he should know that any system of racial progress ultimately revolves around men, like himself, and that no finer opportunity comes to any man than to work with leaders-in-the-making in training their minds and setting them thinking in the most efficacious channels. THOUGHTLESS NEGROES he prevail upon ourselves to believe, after, will deliberately do that which is wicked in a condition against which they incest firmly believe that such things are danger of the consequences. In mind the recent showing of a "Black downtown theatre. So many Negroes it was necessary to turn some away. No doubt any theatre-going man would show, but the idea of seeing it in a Negro—places him in a position too was enough to keep any thoughtful, it.

We cannot prevail upon ourselves to believe that Negroes, knowing better, will deliberately do that which is wrong, or that which fosters a condition against which they incessantly cry out aloud. We firmly believe that such things are done, generally, without thought of the consequences. We have in mind the recent showing of a "Black and White Revue" in a downtown theatre. So many Negroes flocked to this theatre that it was necessary to turn some away at each performance. No doubt any theatre-going man would have liked to have seen the show, but the idea of seeing it in a theatre which segregates the Negro—places him in a position too discomforting to mention—was enough to keep any thoughtful, self-respecting Negro away. For he realized that to go would mean fostering a condition which is both disagreeable and humiliating. Such things, though they may at the time seem without moment, pave the way to greater humiliation and legislated segregation. If the white man can get you to accept such on your own accord, he will not only force you to accept a jim-crowed golf link, a segregated bathing beach; but will also force you later to ride on the rear end of street cars, to live only in certain sections of the city and will abridge, generally, your every privilege. You need be alert and full of vision lest the consequences of your thoughtlessness cause you to suffer.

All attempts to stifle religious propaganda by persecution ends in spreading the religion. "Punishment or torture never halted virtue, it can never conquer vice." So with Garvey, who was made a victim of circumstances. His greatest fault was his inability to surround himself with an honest as well as an efficient and proficient personnel. It may be coincidence, nevertheless it is history, that inefficiency and scandals afflict the administrations of those who make a fetish of friendship. This is a fact which applies alike to all executives. The more exclusively a man, in any type of authority, selects his aid because of their companionable qualities the more likely is the result to be betrayal, maladministration, scandal and failure. There is no proper relation between personalities and business and public necessity. The betrayal of the trust caused by those whom he put in high places because of his admiration of their personal qualities and because he confused their friendly service to him with administrative fitness, should be a worth while lesson to all who attempt to do anything which requires the aid of others. Garvey's personality, a good attribute, enabled him to draw unto himself a large number of the illiterate class who are seeking some relief from their social, economic and political depression—a Moses to bring them out of the wilderness. Because he possessed a greater knowledge of racial psychology than any living Negro, it was easy for him to assure his followers that he was the Moses. It is not strange to find a depressed people seizing an opportunity which holds out some hope of relief. To reclaim Africa as the home of Negroes—governed by them,—did not originate in Garvey's mind, nor is the idea an unworthy one. But Garvey's plan for the reclamation was impractical. Africa is owned and governed by the several European powers. Sierra Leone, which is a British possession, affords a good example of the conditions which obtain in every other district. Whites, though far outnumbered by the natives of this low West African coast, rule almost absolutely. Mr. DuBois, editor of the "Crisis," who recently visited Sierra Leone, tells us that this district is under a "protectorate Government" and that this government "is white, is overshadowing, is all-powerful." "At the head of this Government," says DuBois, "is the autocratic Governor who is practically a king by divine right. He is in reality responsible to no one. The policy of the white government is to curtail the functions of what remains of the Negro government; to keep the educated and voting Negroes as far as possible from all contact with the natives and the natives from all such leadership." Such a policy will ever obtain so long as the white man can maintain the influence and force of his larger number. Consequently, Garvey is imprisoned, not so much because of the fact that he used the mails to defraud, but because his imprisonment is an opportunity to check him who possesses great power Something of Interest By I.

Adams HOWARD UNVERSITY ORCHESTRA By Wellington A. Adams Music Editor A process of evolution lasting thousands of years, from the crude inventions of ancient civilized nations down to the gradually developed orchestral instruments of today, we find ourselves listening to a modern orchestra, and a real Negro orchestra with instruments as such as violins, violas, violincellos, double basses, harps, flutes (bassoons), clarinets, oboes, horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas, bass and snare drums, kettledrums, and cymbals. At last, here we are listening to a modern symphony orchestra of Negro players whose versatility was recently demonstrated in a standard orchestral program of enchanting music. Few believed that they could perform so exacting a program as rendered and it was the most fascinating musical performance ever heard in Washington or elsewhere in this country by colored players. A. E. DORCY T. RHODES, Conductor This recital was held at Lincoln Theatre Wednesday evening, 6 P.M. February 4, 1925, under the management of the "Artist Course Series." Opening the concert, Mr. Rhodes chose the tuneful overture of Beethoven's "Egmont." This was readily enjoyed as its beautiful melodies swung at a merry tempo. "Anthony and Cleopatra" by Gruenwald evoked enthusiasm. Filled with lovely melodies and solid harmonies, it has an appeal that commands constant attention. Intermixed are rapid, dainty passages, firm fortes and legatos that flow along as softly as a stream of water. In the second movement, "Dance of the Nubians," such a chattering as there was with much use of the wind instruments. It seemed to picture fairies, with their rapid, dainty tread, rectifying the unhappiness of the suffering soul. The brasses were heard in aggressive crescendos, dying away in dramatic contrasts and yet quick as a flash come accents bold. The "Solo Dance," third movement pictured all the beauties of nature, the beauty of the dance, of gay melodies and with a final grand climax in "Anthony's Victory," came the realization that there are better things awaiting those who will look beyond little daily annoyances that sometimes are cloaked with an exaggerated importance. The Violin Concerto, "Symphonic Espagnole" (Talo) with Wesley I Howard as soloist was one of the high-lights of the program. Here was Wesley Howard at his best! Wesley Howard erecting "Beauty" like some goddess to whom his entire amazing virtuosity of the violin pays homage! Howard, in his music, sails forth aloft, losing self in realms of tohe gradations that are uncanny in perfection of intonation and that float in marvelous purity from his dazzling bow. Like spun gold his music floats, glistening in a multitude of iridescent rainbow leaps of runs, in impeccable sliding scales, in amazing double stops, all his incomparable, technical mastery going into the enno- Complete Four Year Course PIANOFORTE VIOLIN VOCAL MANDOLIN BANJO-MANDOLIN We teach also Ukelele, Guitar, Tenor-Banjo, Brass and Woodwind instruments and the following subjects: Sight Singing, Harmony, Theory, Ear-Training, Music History, Analysis.

W. bling of melody, whether it comes beneath indescribable trills, or is told in simple form yet breathless, on tipp toe, so exalted and rare is its quality. When Howard stepped from his stage-den as soloist and began playing, one felt that seldom has been heard so exquisite and singing a quality as emerged from the fine orchestral blend, but was yet so integral a part of it. With his broad profound tone, a pure elegance of melody, sweet, delicate with most notable phrasing and wizardry in teachique characterized the violin in the Concerto. What of Dorey T. Rhodes and his Howard Orchestra, who has made the musical world, locally, call him "peer" of orchestral conductors of today and made doubters firm supporters? What of the one man who has succeeded where all others have failed? Here stands the man with his forty young Negro players surrounding him like a small army of defenders ready and waiting. Had Rhodes played but the Mozart's "G Minor" Symphony alone, he would have revealed that magic mystery, 1920 that dynamic force, that has made new scores of music under his baton, revealing beauties so rare. See this genius in music! One soon finds that the rather heavy body is as alive as a dancer, as emphatic as a militarist when precision is needed, as suave and alluring in his "invitation to music" as a woman. His nimble baton seems to create the fine mellow quality these players give out for him. Roundness, whether tone on rhythm, perfect the music. Is that what added to the warmth of tone throughout this splendid orchestra? And Dorcy Rhodes stood out in bold relief throughout the entire program. Should not the race feel proud of him and of Howard University also? The Symphony "G Minor" by Mozart close dthe program. It is a work possessing marvelous strength and beauty, breathing forth exquisite tenderness from every bar of his music. But now this fine ensemble rose to dizzy heights in this symphony. Here was a marvel of ebb and flow of sound, balanced in rare clarity of harmony—articulation that brought each choir into play with a unity quite indescribable. The conductor delineated each passing melodious phrase, not alone his baton but his body demands changing color or vital mood. Whispers he obtained in delicate tip-toe music that the violins spun in feathery web. A master hand in color and shading. Then how Rhodes lashed them up to a finale, like a tempest of strings! But the rarest element in the playing of the orchestra was the tender music of delicate strings, the lyric tunefulness of the lovely themes and the fine wind passages beneath which surged a rhythm like the depth of a sea. The small audience was most enthusiastic, recalling the soloist and conductor several times and bringing the orchestra to its feet at the close of their renditions. The entire personnel of the orchestra deserves unstinted praise for their artistic performance, reflecting great credit not only upon themselves but as well the institution which they represent and the race at large. It is epocal in the musical life of the race and a beacon light for all times. The music lovers of Washington failed to attend in large numbers for some reason or another and it is a sad commentary on the musical atmosphere hereabouts. Even Wilson Lamb, noted vocal teacher of New Jersey, made a special trip to this city to hear the program while Washingtonians were sleeping over their opportunities within a stone's throw, so-to-speak. While we regret so few heard the program, those who were fortunate enough to be present enjoyed the greatest musical treat of their lives as it really proved to be the greatest musical effort by the race ever held in Washington. Music in the Public Schools The fact that ninety-nine per cent of the pupils in public schools like music and desire to know it makes it a delightful subject to teach. However, the best methods to be employed in teaching the subject must ever be a source of earnest thought and, to some extent, they must vary because of different circumstances which obtain in schools and localities. It is most important that the teacher's voice be true in pitch and accurate in the singing of a melody because the ear of a young child accepts and generally his mind retains the sounds as first presented. The best presentation of two- and three-part songs has long been a source of discussion. It is always safest to teach the least interesting part first, whether it be a second or a third part, and to teach the most attractive part last for the reason that the most attractive part will be learned and remembered with little effort and, unless the least interesting part is studied and mastered first, the chances are that it will either require longer time to master it or it will not be thoroughly learned and the song consequently will not be well balanced. The entire class should learn each part and later the different parts may be assigned to sections of the class. These assignments should be changed often because the young voices are not placed, and to avoid injury, should be changed from one part to another. —Southern Workman TO PRESENT LIVING PICTURES OF BIBLE CHARACTERS THE Senior Choir of Metropolitan A.

C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor Juvenile Department RADIO IMPROVING THE SIMPLE RADIO RECEIVER By Rufus P. Turner—3LP The main disadvantage of the simple receiver, described in last week's article, is its inability to "tune" or separate two or more stations transmitting at the same time. This bad feature will prove very trying at times—especially if one station is transmitting a sermon and another a jazz concert—when you are forced to listen to both at the same time. In the radio world, any device which can be used to "tune" a set is termed SEAL GROUND PROBE CRYSTAL DETECTOR Phone Condenser VARIOMETER WIRING DIAGRAM ```markdown ``` VARIOMETER a "tuner." There are many types of tuners on the market—variometers, variocouplers, inductances, coils and the like—but the simplest is the variometer. The variometer will be of much value in the small receiver and will enable you to separate stations with wavelengths within about fifty meters of each other. This device, because of its one control (a dial) makes it popular among amateurs and experts. The variometer may be obtained at any radio supply house and the prices vary from one to eight dollars, which of course, depends on the quality of the instrument. After obtaining the variometer, add it to the simple receiver, as is shown in the diagram, with the following additional parts: four binding-posts, ten cents; one phone-condenser, ten cents; one 3-inch bakelite dial, fifteen cents. These articles will not exceed thirty-five cents. The parts must be connected with fairly heavy wire, preferably the well known "bus-bar." Remember, never allow any two wires to come in contact with each other unless such a connection is indicated in the diagram. The dial is screwed to the shaft of the variometer and the aerial and ground wires connected. Everything is now ready for an initial test of the new receiver which is "tunable." To adjust the set, rotate the variometer dial slowly until the desired station is picked up, then adjust the crystal detector for maximum volume and clarity. When it is desired to separate stations, merely rotate the dial until the desired station remains and the undesirable is "tuned-out." Next week: "A Long Distance Crystal-receiver."

Noted Indian Dr. Discovers Preparation That Grows Hair Two Inches Longer in2 Months Willing to Give Free Samples to All Readers of this Paper to Prove Merits of His Discovery. Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of roel battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of this brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured, but her hair was the brisused spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that she accused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair; and after experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a new compound that could treat certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred trials, Dr. Delano will explain the ration on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sbum), and that hair roots very seldom dislodge. Dr. Delano's research will grow—for science has shown that under most bold scalps the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will end his or her manuscript and address to DEPT A- THE HERBS OF LIFE INDIAN MEDICINE CO. 1420-24 South Street PHILADLPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Advertise in The Washington Tribune Justice Hoehling Gives Sentences Aggregating 90 Years Sentences totalling 90 years were imposed by Justice Hoehling in criminal court No. 1, last Friday for the murder of Policeman John W.
