SENATE CUTS OUT BEACH ITEMS DRS. CURTIS OPEN NEW SANITARIUM BILL GOES TO First in Local Circulation. SENA DRS. C SUPT. WILKINSON IS EXONERATED IN LUCAS CASE The Committee on Complaints and Appeals of the Board of Education exonerated Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson of the charges made by M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Bruce School, and commended him for bringing to the attention of Mr. Lucas the present conditions at the Bruce School. Board Approves Report The Board of Education approved the report of the committee after a motion to table it had been defeated. Capt. Julius I. Peyser asked that action on the report be deferred until the next meeting of the board. He stated that the report had just been handed him with the request that he sign is at a member of the committee, but he had not had time to go carefully over it. Other board members insisted upon the immediate adoption of the report. This raised the ire of Captain Peyser and he asked Mrs. Howard L. Hodkins the chairman of the committee, who prepared the report. "The truth of the matter," he said, "is that Mrs. Hodkins never saw this report until she came down this evening. It was written by an official of the schools." Ernest Greenwood made a motion to have the report and demanded a record vote. He and Captain Peyser were the only members of the board who voted in favor of his motion to table. The motion to adopt was then carried. Mr. Greenwood scored the procedure of the board and declared that he objected to being ruled by the administration officials or anybody else. Text of Report The full text of the report is as follows: "At the meeting of the Board of Education held February 4, the Board referred to the Committee on Complaints and Appeals a printed letter dated January 31, 1925, addressed to the President and members of the Board of Education by M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Bruce School, together with a statement from First Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, prepared at the request of the Superintendent of Schools, on Mr. Lucas's letter. The Committee begs leave to present the following report: "The Committee met in the office of the Superintendent of Schools on Tuesday, February 17, all members being present. Superintendent Ballou, First Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson and Mr. Lucas were also present. Mr. Lucas read and discussed a typewritten statement. This statement added but little information to that contained in his printed letter of January 31, except to emphasize his personal disappointment that his long years of service in the public schools of Washington had not merited more comment from his superior officers than was developed in the conference between Mr. Lucas and his superior officers held January 6. "First Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson stated to the Committee in the presence of Mr. Lucas that there was no connection between what Mr. Lucas may or may not have said in the meeting of principals of the Tenth Division referred to in the first paragraph of Mr. Lucas's letter and the conference called by Mr. Wilkinson described in the second paragraph of the same letter. Mr. Wilkinson stated to the Committee that when he called Mr. Lucas into conference, he was not aware that such a meeting had been held or that Mr. Lucas had made any statement whatever regarding the matter of promotions to higher positions. "Mr. Wilkinson explained to the Committee that he had asked Mr. Lucas into conference before the supervision of the Bruce School was transferred from Mr. Wilkinson to Assistant Superintendent Shadd, in order that Mr. Lucas might be advised (Continued on page 6) The Washington Tribune Published Weekly INAUGURATION TO BE SIMPLE AFFAIR The Inauguration is going to be a very modest affair. The President will be sworn in on the east side of the Capitol and will deliver his inaugural address. The Senate will be convened in special session at 12 o'clock March 4. Its prime business will be the confirmation of members of the Cabinet. The Vice President will be sworn in in the Senate Chamber. There will be a parade down the Avenue, but it will be lacking the pomp and pageentry of former inaugural parades. If the War Department can find the money with which to do it, the Twenty-fourth Infantry will be brought here. There is very little probability, however, that the necessary funds can be had. The parade will only require forty-five minutes to pass any given point. There will be a concert on the evening of March 4, at the Washington Auditorium, participated in by the four Marine bands, the Sheldon Choral Society and the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce Glee Club. It was not learned whether or not this would be an exclusively white affair. It is, however, official. On March 3 and 5, there will be caucuses and conferences of colored Republicans, who will be here for the inauguration. It may be that an effort will be made to compose fraternal differences. STANDARD LIFE OFFICIALS JOIN LOCAL COMPANY STANDARD LIFE OFFICIALS JOIN LOCAL COMPANY President R. H. Rutherford of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city announced this week that his company has secured the services of Mr. J. B. Pinkett and Mr. Chas. A. Shaw, formerly of the Standard Life Insurance Company. Both of these men are well qualified and experienced insurance men, having been with the Standard Life for a number of years. Mr. Pinkett, who was formerly Director of Agencies, will have charge of the ordinary department with the National Benefit. Mr. Shaw, formerly assistant secretary will have charge of the office personnel here. President Rutherford intimated that several other men prominently connected with the Standard Life, will soon join forces with the National Benefit. The National Benefit Company has recently opened up several new southern states, among them are Arkansas and Alabama. The company is now planning to open up the state of Georgia in the near future. Petition For Writ of Madamus Filed A petition for a writt of mandamus was filed last Tuesday in the District Supreme Court against the Whitelaw Apartment House Corporation to compel it to make and publish a report, stating the amount of capital and the proportion actually paid and the amount of existing debts, as required by the laws of the District of Columbia. Under the provisions of the District code, this report should have been made and filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds on or before January 20, 1925. The petitioner is Mrs. Georgia B. Johnson of 1461 S Street, Northwest. She is represented by Attorneys Henry Lincoln Johnson, George E. C. Hayes and Charles H. Houston. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE CO., OF ILL., GETS LICENSE TO OPERATE IN DISTRICT The Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, was granted a license to do business in the District of Columbia, Thursday, February 19th. President Frank L. Gillespie, and Atty. Earl B. Dickerson, Gen- Pres. GILLESPIE Life Insurance Company of Chicago, was granted a license to do business in the District of Columbia, Thursday, February 19th. President Frank L. Gillespie, and Atty. Earl B. Dickerson, General Counsel of the Company, appeared before the Commissioner of Insurance. The Commissioner in granting the new company license, stated that the assets of the Liberty Life were certainly in good form. He granted the license without a protest. President Gillespie stated to a Tribune reporter that the company will immediately open offices here and begin writing business. Attorney Mortimer M. Harris is representing the company temporarily. Just who will have charge of the local agency force could not be learned but it is expected that a man who is prominent in the insurance field, will be placed in charge with a competent force to assist him. Officers will be located in the heart of the uptown section on U Street, Northwest. The Liberty Life Insurance Company is an old line legal reserve company, operating on a $3 1/2 per cent reserve basis. It was organized in Chicago in June, 1919. The company has a capitalization of $100,000. It began to write business in August of 1921 and now operates in several states. Receivership For Madre Bros. Shop Asked Lindsay Madre, represented by Attorneyneys Benjamin L. Gaskins and Walter A. Pinchback, has asked the District Supreme Court for a temporary receivership for the barbershop operated at 1715½ Seventh Street, Northwest, under the firm name of "Madre Bros." He also asks for an accounting between himself and Miss Nora Madre, administratrix of the estate of the late Moses Madre, who he claims is now conducting the barbershop as if it were her own property. He alleges that he and the late Moses Madre were partners from January 15, 1905, to the time of his death. Each opened a half interest in the business he says. They first opened a barbershop on O Street, later on Seventh Street, between P and Q, and then at 1740 Seventh Street, Northwest. Moses Madre died November 16, 1924. He was survived by Lindsay Madre, a brother; Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall, his sister, and Mrs. Nora Madre, his widow. In his bill of complaint, Lindsay Madre charges that the defendant took possession of the barbershop at $1715^{\frac{1}{2}}$ Seventh Street, put new locks on the doors and forcibly excluded him. He does not know, he says, whether she is conducting the shop as the administratrix or in her own right. He desires to take possession as the surviving partner for the purpose of winding it up, he says, and asks the court to authorize him to so restrain the defendant from interfering with him in any way. FAILS AT SUICIDE, NOW INDICTED FOR MURDER Norman Rose was indicted by the grand jury last Monday on a charge of murder in the first degree in connection with the killing of his wife, Viola R. Rose, at their home, 114 Florida Avenue, Northwest, January 22, last. Rose is alleged to have killed her in a quarrel, during which he had accused her of "running around" and intending to abandon him. He is said to have shot her twice in the head. After shooting her Rose went into another room and attempted suicide. He shot himself in the face and was in a serious condition but is now recovering. Mrs. Katie E. Anderson and Clarence E. Anderson, neighbors, who witnessed the tragedy, were grand jury witnesses. HOWARD TRUSTEES MEET IN MIDWINTER SESSION Dr. Charles R.

TWENTY-BED HOSPITAL OPENED LAST WEEK IS ONE OF BEST IN CITY The Curtis Private Surgical Sanitarium, located at 1927 Seventeenth Street, Northwest, was formally opened to the public last Friday night, February 13th. Hundreds of Washingtonians visited the hospital, which is considered one of the finest in Washington regardless of race. The reception room was banked with flowers sent by friends and well-wishers. Refreshments were served. The guests were shown through the hospital. According to conservative estimates, the hospital represents an investment of more than $35,000. It is modern and sanitary in every way and is furnished with the finest equipment known for such places. It has a capacity of 20 beds. The operating room, done in emaculate white, is a model of its kind. It is equipped with a specially designed electric sterilizing machine. Each patient room is equipped with the latest style of hospital beds, made by the Simmons Company. Each room is done in cream and is so arranged so that the patient gets the maximum amount of sunlight. There are five baths in the hospital; a general bath is on each floor; two patient rooms have private baths. On the first floor, a private bed room is provided for the nurses. The nurses also have a private dining room and a private bath. The provisions for the nurses are considered one of the most forward steps ever taken by a private institution. The hospital will use three nurses regularly. Dr. A. M. Curtis, and his son, Dr. Arthur Curtis will have charge of management. Dr. A. M. Curtis, surgeon-in-chief, is one of the best known surgeons in the country. He graduated from Northwestern University. He was the first colored doctor appointed as attending surgeon to the Cook County Hospital, Chicago, Ill. He practiced for a number of years in Chicago. He was also one of the surgeons at Provident Hospital, Chicago. Dr. Curtis came to Washington in 1898. He was surgeon-in-chief at Freedmen's Hospital for a number of years. Almost since coming to Washington he has been an instructor in (Continued on page 6) Office: 920 U St., N.W. CH IT ARIUM Private Sanitarium tis; Hospital Bldg., Dr. A. M. Curtis opening night. HOSPITAL ST WEEK IS F BEST IN CITY Fisk U. Students Get Word From Howard Body Fisk U. Students Get Word From Howard Body The students of Howard University, through the Student Council, have expressed their sympathy to Fisk University students, who went on strike as a result of President McKenzie having five members of the senior class arrested on a charge of inciting to riot and then suspending them from the institution. The resolution of the Howard students is as follows: "Whereas, the Student Council, representing the students of Howard University, has heard with profound regret and feelings of keen understanding of the unfortunate circumstances which at present confront the students of Fisk University, be it; "Resolved, that we, the Student Council of Howard University, express to the students of Fisk University our sympathy in their movement, our desire for a full, frank and free interchange of views, and our pledge to aid whenever and wherever possible." Local Fisk Club Acts The Fisk Club of Washington, of which Charles H. Wesley is the president, has sent to Paul D. Cravath, of New York City, president of the board of Directors of Fisk University, the following memorial: "The Fisk Club of Washington, D.C., at a meeting tonight unanimously voted to memorialize you to call trustees of Fisk University in special meeting to bring order out of the chaotic condition at Fisk arising because of the disturbance there. The club expresses its confidence in the wise judgment of the board." LOSE FIGHT TO SAVE 500-POUND WOMAN (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N.Y.—After Mrs. Hilda Jacobson, 51 and weighing 500 pounds had spent six years in her apartment without going out and 3 years in bed, Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents BILL GOES TO CONFERENCE FOR FINAL ACTION BILL GOES TO CONFERENCE FOR FINAL ACTION The Senate Wednesday afternoon, just prior to the passage of the District appropriations bill, adopted an amendment offered by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, striking from this bill an item providing the sum of $12,300 for the purification of the waters of the Tidal Basin, and the care, maintenance and operation of the white bathing beach. The same amendment returns to the Treasury the unexpended balance of the appropriation of $75,000 for the construction of a tidal basin for colored people. Before the adoption of the Walsh amendment, the Senate disapproved a committee amendment appropriating $6,000 for the purification of the waters and the maintenance and operation of the beach now being constructed on the west side of Tidal Basin for colored people. The effect of the Walsh amendment is the abolition of bathing beaches for both white and colored persons. The District appropriations bill was finally passed and now goes to conference. If the House concurs in the Walsh amendment, there will be no further bathing in the Tidal Basin. It is proposed to establish separate bathing beaches at a suitable location along the shores of the Potomac River. The question of the proposed colored bathing beach was raised by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, in the Senate last session. During a conoquey between him and Senator Phipps, Republican, of Colorado, Senator Walsh said: "I am astonished to learn that the Tidal Basin is to be desecrated—no other word will characterize it—desecrated by the establishment in the most conspicuous place about the entire Basin of a bathing beach for the colored population of the city of Washington." He also said that he was advised "that the health of the city is imperiled by devoting that comparatively still, if not stagnant, water to bathing purposes, even for the white population, not to speak of the colored population that are now going to use it." Senator Phipps said that "It was deemed essential to provide bathing facilities for the colored residents of the District, as otherwise they would demand their full and equal right to use the bathing beach which is now established and in use." Mellon Silent on Receivership "Inasmuch as the appointment of a Register of the Treasury does not rest with the Secretary of the Treasury if a vacancy should occur, Secretary Andrew W. Mellon cannot consistently give an expression of opinion regarding a possible appointment. Moreover there is no vacancy at present in that office." This was the reply made for the Secretary of the Treasury by Garrard B. Winston, Under Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Mellon had been asked for a statement of his attitude toward the appointment of a colored man to succeed Harley V. Speelman. It is not expected, however, that Mr. Mellon would offer any objections to a suitable colored person being appointed to this office, if a vacancy should occur. It is pointed out that two of the five colored men filling Federal offices requiring confirmation by the Senate are under the Treasury Department. They are Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue at New York, and Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans. The Register of the Treasury holds office at the pleasure of the President. ten policemen were called Sunday to remove her to a hospital. They spent one hour in the effort, but in spite of all they could do, she died on the second floor landing of the building.

TAU DELTA SIGMA FRATERNITY CHAPTER HOUSE UNDER- GOING EXTENSIVE REPAIRS Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity, composed of lawyers and law students, is undergoing a period of rapid growth and expansion. Founded in 1913 by a group of law students at Howard University Law School, and incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, it now has chapters in several large cities, and plans are now being perfected to establish many other chapters during the course of the present year. It is rumored that Attorney George E. C. Hayes of Washteh Fraternity, and a prominent and successful lawyer of the National Capital, will visit several of the larger western cities in March for the purpose of setting up chapters there. The chapter-house, 913 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, a large imposing structure in one of the more exclusive neighborhoods, and owned by the Fraternity, is undergoing extensive repairs and renovations inside and out, including the installation of electricity and a new heating plant. It is said that more than $2,500.00 will be expended by the Fraternity in premises. Mrs. Katie L.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 Locai Y and Baltimore Y To Hold Contest The 12th Street Branch Y.M.C.A. of this city will hold a joint membership campaign with the Drauid Hill Branch of Baltimore, Md., March 30th to April 3rd. This is the first membership effort to be made by the local organization since its organization in 1923. The past 20 months have been spent in rehabilitating the Branch and preparing for the extensive renovations which are now in progress. The campaign has been timed to take place when the repairs now being made to the building are practically completed. In this way the branch will be able to take care immediately of the large membership which it is expected that this campaign will produce. The Committee of Management of the branch of the local association and Campbell C. Johnson, the Executive Secretary have followed out definitely the belief that the rehabilitation of the branch should follow a certain sequence. They believe that the first step was to renovate the building physically and to make certain changes and repairs which would enable them effectively to conduct a modern association program suitable to the needs of the men and boys of this city. This step in their program is now finished. The building is being completely renovated and placed in even better condition than it was when first opened 13 years ago. Modern plumbing is being installed throughout. A quiet reading room is being added to the lobby and the boys' department is being moved to the basement where more than 3 times the former space is available for use in developing a high-class program of boys' work. Another feature is the addition of a number of single dormitory rooms to meet a constant demand which has been made upon the association for the accommodations of transients and permanent guests. These rooms have been completed and will be ready for occupancy in about 10 days. An effort is being made to enroll in the forth-coming campaign all of the former members of the association who have worked so earnestly in recent years to enable the association to render a large service in the community. In addition to these veterans in the work, many of whom have expressed their eagerness to join in this effort, a number of new friends are expected to take advantage of this opportunity to help rebuild our Y. M. C. A. work in this city. On Sunday, March 29, a big meeting will be held, at which time the Washington public will be given the opportunity of hearing an outstanding speaker on the importance and purpose of the Y. M. C. A.

Brooks will sing at the morning service. The Senior Christian Endeavor society will present a most interesting program at 6:45 P.M. GIRL'S FRIENDSHIP CLUB The Girl's Friendship Club met Friday the 13th, 3 o'clock at Cleveland School, Eighth and T Streets. From 3:30 to 4:30 the girls worked cross word puzzles. Then the meeting was opened with the prayer and code. The prayer is to be analized and discussed by every member, so our first phrase was, "Speak the Truth." Florence Graves read a paper on the phrase, which will be discussed next week. The appearance of an old member produced a great effect on the girls. It was as if the "Three Live Ghosts" had entered. The girls spent a very enjoyable time. The old camp spirit threatened to enter the club. We wish to extend an invitation to any girl to come and spend an evening with us. Misses Esther Peyton and Lucille Allen are our guides and Elinor Robinson, president, Ethel Harvey the Secretary-Treasury. We meet every Friday from 3:30 to 5:00 at the Cleveland School in the basement. News and features of the club will appear in these columns every week.

HI-JA CHEMICAL COMPANY Atlanta, Georgia The Tribune Sport Review Howard Tossers To Take On West Virginia, Morehouse, and Alumni PAGE FOUR Howard Three Big Games On Bisons' Calendar The Howard varsity basketball quint faces a heavy week with three major games booked. On Monday, February 23rd, the strong West Virginia Collegiate Institute quint, with victories over Wiberforce and Howard already to its credit, will clash with the Bisons at the Miner Normal School gymnasium. The colorful Morehouse College quint will follow West Virginia here two days later, being Howard's guest on the afternoon of February 25th at the Miner Normal gym. At the Colonnade on Saturday afternoon, February 28th, the Howard varsity will take on the Old Stars, featuring "Ed" Gray, "Dick" Curtis, Huddy Oliver, "Newt" Miller, Frank Sykes, Eddie Lowry, "Long" Green, "Johnnie" Rector and others. While Doctors Curtis, Gray and one or two of the Old Stars have been inactive for a number of years, the special training that they are now going through will enable them to stand the gaff for at least a half of the game. Howard's alumni athletes of recent years will be ready to fill the places of the old stars. Basketball fans of fifteen years back love to tell of the great combination that represented Howard in 1911. This combination of Gray, Curtis brothers, the late Gilmore, Nixon and Oliver lost but two games during its existence. Old-timers claim Howard has never had its equal on the court. If these men can show but a flash of their old-time form, the game will be worth going far to witness, while with the reserved strength in good physical condition, a bitterly fought contest is assured. Cmega vs. Kappa At Colonnade To-day Cmega vs. Kappa At Colonnade To-day The Omega quintet will play the Kappa cagers this afternoon at the Colannade. The Kappa team is being substituted for the Howard varsity after the Board of Athletic Control ruled that the varsity could not fill the date. This was the second substitution for this game. The Eighth Regiment was the first to disappoint the Omega tosers. Basketball Notes The managers of the Carlisle and Omega quintettes received letters last Monday from the manager of the Eighth Regiment team of Chicago, encalling games scheduled to have been played here on February 21st and 22nd. The failure of New York and Philadelphia clubs to return contracts is given by the Regiment manager as reason for calling off all games east of Pittsburgh. The second Dunbar-Armstrong game will be played next Thursday afternoon at the Armstrong gym. Is professionalism creeping into our collegiate and amateur basketball circles? We would say, yes: What do you say? Four stars of a few years back are about to join Father Time. Benny Hill, Carlisle forward; Earle Frazier, Alco center, and Neale and Kenner, Alco forwards, are no longer able to hold the pace with the present stars like Turner, Berry, Davis and others. The above quartet has enjoyed some wonderful years. The Alcoes will tackle a tough one in the Panthers of Philadelphia, Locendi with Moten and Young in the line-up fell before the Philly quintet. Morehouse again failed to successfully turn Wilberforce back. The Ohio aggregation went South this year and took Harvey's men into camp, 12 to 28. The Cyprians defeated the Ebenezer quime. the record score, 88-12. Campbell starred with 22 field goals. The St. Cyprians will clash with the "T" E. live on February 23rd at the St. Cyprians' hall. The St. Cyprian E. lives scored a 48 to 17 victory over. Lincoln Temple, Rudy Johnson caged 12 field goals. Lincoln Ousted By C.I.A.A.; Dr. Cannon Recommends Changes In Organization Richmond, Va., Feb. 13—The members of the C. I. A. A., including Union, Petersburg, Shaw, Virginia Seminary and College, St. Paul, A. and T. of Greensboro, N.C., and Hampton, met at the Virginia Union University to consider what action the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association should take in light of the decision of Lincoln University to play Howard University the annual football game on next Thanksgiving Day. After a thorough canvass of the entire situation, the Association adopted unanimously the following motion. "That the authorities of Lincoln University be informed that athletic relations between Lincoln University and member of the C. I. A. A. will be discontinued so long as Lincoln continues to play Howard University and Howard remains out of the Association. Further, that this motion becomes effective from its adoption." The C. I. A. A. does not feel that this action is in any sense a coercive measure, but it does feel that to continue to maintain relations with Lincoln University, while Lincoln University continues relations with Howard University and Howard University has repudiated the Association and all that it stands for, would be entirely inconsistent. The C. I. A. A. regrets the severance of relations with Howard and Lincoln, for, in the opinion of the C. I. A. A., the memberships of Howard and Lincoln in the Association have done much to raise the standards of competition in the Association and to develop a greater appreciation for athletics on the part of the Negro public. The President of the C. I. A. A., Dr. W. G. Alexander, Graduate Manager of Athletics at Lincoln University, was present during the deliberations of the Association. The C. I. A. A. feels that the public should have much of the information in its possession in regard to the controversy. This will be released to the public in the very near future. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED INTER-COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION By Dr. Geo. E. Cannon (President of Lincoln University Alumni Association) It is very plain to everyone familiar with the situation in the present controversy, culminating in the withdrawal of Howard University that there is need of revising the rules and regulations of the Association in order to keep pace with its growth. I stand first and last for the preservation of the Athletic Association, and feel that it would be a reproach The Yellow Circles, midget champions of Baltimore, were defeated by the local "Y" Juniors, Saturday night, 26 to 14. The Community A. C. quintet defeated the Lightning Five of Baltimore at the local "Y" gym Saturday night by the score, 22-18. Each of these teams were the "Y" Junior champions in their respective cities last year. A group of local fans are anxious for the Alcoes to tackle the Scholastics of Baltimore. The Scholastics boast of being the only club that has defeated the champs this season. Letters have reached this office requesting that an appeal be made for the initial game of the Alco-Carlisle series. All right, Messrs. Carter, Henry and Conway, get together. The fans want this game. Just like taking candy from a squealer. NORFOLK PLAN$ \backslash $ COMEBACK New York, Feb. 15- Kid Norfolk will attempt a comeback at the Manhattan Casino on February 25.

Certainly we would stand as poor examples to the masses in preaching mutual co-operation, if with the intelligence and advantages we have, the schools and colleges cannot co-operate themselves. The thing for us to do is to lay aside our petty grievances, our spite work and our jealousies, and get down to a common-sense basis, keeping in mind the interest of the college athletics, the under-graduating body and the patronizing public, and recognize the fact that a change within the Association is a necessity due to its rapid growth; and then let us get to work like men and solve the situation to the best interest, of all concerned. I hereby make the following suggestions to the C. I. A. A.:- (1) Let there be a re-organization establishing two divisions, the collegiate division and the inter-scholastic division. (2) All the varsity teams would only be made up of collegiate students, while the interscholastic teams would be made up from other departments. (3) The inter-scholastic teams of membership institutions which have no college department could play the varsity teams, but it would not count in the varsity record. (4) Anyone playing on the interscholastic team should not have that career charged against him when he enters the collegiate department of any college, neither should anyone attending the professional department of any institution be eligible to play on the varsity team. These suggestions apply to football, basketball and baseball. This would make Howard cease playing men in the professional departments should she return to the Association. This would also prevent other institutions from playing preparatory and normal school students on the varsity team. This division would only obtain so far as games are concerned. In all other respects as to membership, voting, etc., all the membership institutions should be on equal terms. Also the Association should not be restricted in its membership, but should invite all and any institution in good standing within playing radius to come in and affiliate with the Association. The adoption of a program on the above lines would be a long step forward in organized athletics among our group. This open letter is submitted to the C. I. A. A. for its consideration in no spirit of criticism, but prompted by a desire to see the C. I. A. A. fill the position in colored athletics, it ought to fill and must fill. Eastern Leaguers Form Schedules Eastern Leaguers Form Schedules Philadelphia, Feb. 7th—Jim Keenan and Nat Strong from New York, Chas. Spedden from Baltimore and Edw. Bolden and Geo. Robinson of this city met at the Southwest Branch of the "Y." The committee mapped out a schedule that will be ratified and adopted at the next meeting of the League Commissioners. The basis of a 70-game schedule, the same as was adopted last season when the circuit was increased to eight clubs, will be adhered to. It is practically assured that the league will get under way about May 1st, of course where Saturday and Sunday parks are involved, the lid lifting will vary a little. With the moving of Geo. Robinson's team from Washington, D.C. to Wilmington, Del., it gives the league an even more compact circuit than last season and with the present cities in line, the longest jump in the circuit is from New York to Harrisburg. Excursion rates that may be had from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Atlantic City is another item that should work in the favor of the league magnates cutting down some of the "overhead." The commendation of some people is given at such a sharp angle that we count ourselves fortunate to have escaped unharmed by it. SPORTS CHATTER By H.

In another column of this issue Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, President of the Lincoln University Alumni Association gives a few words of advice to the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. In one part of his letter Dr. Cannon tells the Association "that a change within the Association is a necessity due to its rapid growth." It would be well if Association members would ponder over the above statement. Most of the members are aware of the Association's progress but they do not want any change. The Association wants to be consistent yet Lincoln is gently let out for agreeing to play Howard while the latter is not in the Association yet Hampton will play Morehouse who also is not an Association member. And Hampton is not the only member to play outside schools. If association institutions never went outside of the organization for competition then their boycotting of Howard and Lincoln would be justifiable. REFUSED PRIVILEGE OF QUALIFYING FOR MARATHON We are told that two of our group made application to compete in the Washington Post Marathon which will be run on the streets of Washington on March 3rd. As the story goes these young men were instructed to report at the Georgetown University track for a trial race. After reporting and making ready for action we undestand certain authorities of the University protested on the grounds that no colored runner had ever trod their cinder path and it was not their desire to break a precedent. The Post officials we understand apologized but agreed that they were powerless. Whether, these two athletes will run in the Marathon on March 3rd we do not know. The above facts may be wrong. We had the names of the two alleged individuals, we have not been able to locate them to investigate. And that's that. A BORROWED ARTICLE ABOUT THE POTOMACS We are indebted to Rollo Wilson, snappy Philadelphia correspondent of the Courier, for a bit of news about the Washington Potomacs of Wilmington, Delaware. First of all Rollo tells us that Danny McClellan will lead the Potomacs next season. McClellan is one of the "old boys." In recent years he has piloted the Philadelphia Giants. He is well thought of in baseball circles and is especially popular around Philadelphia. It was rumored i n December that Danny had the Potomac job sewed up. The Courier Correspondent likes the chances of the P's for next season. Evidently friend Wilson has a lot of faith in McClellan's leadership for about the same faces will grace the Potomac uniforms again the coming campaign. The pitching staff will be made up of Hampton, Wayne, Carr, Albritton, Grier and two newcomers, Chambers, an A. & T. College star and McDonald. Mack Eggleton will again be the mainstay behind the plate. We are told that a youngster from Oakland, California, named Martin, will fill the doorkeeper's sack left vacant by "Old Reliable" Ben H. Taylor. Hamilton is expected to go "great guns" at second. Lindsey former Richmond Giant and Baltimore Black Sox pitcher-shortstop is slated for shortstop. Lockhart one of McClellan's own will start the season at third. Joe Goodrich, Owens, and Finley will fight for infield utility berths. In the outfield Elias "Country" Brown, Cheney White, Peter Washington and Dallard are expected to round out the squad. With but four exceptions Washington fans saw the above players in action last season on many occasions. Of course these four men Chambers, McDonald, Martin and Lockhart, may be the difference between the sixth place Potomacs of last year and a pennant contender for the coming season. The pitching staff does not look promising with veterans like Carr, Hampton and Albritton expected to take their regular turn. Grier has the making of a great pitcher if he is not overworked and we are afraid that will be his fate because of the shortage of good pitchers. Chambers is reputed to have gained more collegiate fame than Grier. The pitching staff certainly does not look any too good. Another first class catcher would help Eggleton a whole lot. The latter is inclined to loaf. Then too he loves to play every other position but catch. We will reserve our comment on the new comer Martin, but he will have te go some to clout up to Ben Taylor's mark. Hamilton should have a good year. He hits well but his fielding at times is way off. Lindsey has never been himself since his leg was broken. He will never be a first class shortstop. We also reserve our opinion on Lockhart. The Potomacs outfield ranked with the best throughout last season. Cheney White should have another good year. Brown is fading fast. His batting cye no longer spells terror to opposing pitchers. However "Country" will earn his salary with an occasional timely hit, together with his clownish acts and everlasting pep. Peter Washington, a brilliant fielder and fair hitter but handicapped with about the weakest throwing arm in the league may find the going rough unless his hitting improves. Dallard is speedy and may win a regular berth. Neither Goodrich, Owens or Finley will ever be regulars. The latter is a good fielder but is woefully slow and a very weak hitter. The other two only mean well. The change in the management may work wonders. But we doubt extremely if McClellan can take the above material and make a race with the Hilldale and Black Sox Clubs. Washington fans still have a kindly feeling towards the club which was organized here and named here and they hope Danny all the luck. HAMPTON CAGERS ADD SHAW TO LIST (By G. Hanri Mitchell, Jr.) Raleigh, N.C., Feb. 15—In a nip and tuck affair here tonight, the Hampton basketeers emerged victorious over the Shaw quintet, 22 to 14.

Attend our matinees—the admission is only 10 to 5 p.m. DRAKE & WALKER GO BIG AT HOWARD Drake and Walker's Bombay Girls, the main attraction at the Howard Theatre this week, is without a doubt, one of the best musical skits to play this popular house this season. The singing and dancing is cleverly put over by a group of energetic chorus girls whose sole aim is pleasing the public. Drake and his clyclonic jazz band, is the big hit of the evening. This group of musicians is one of the best trained in the country. The spontaneous response of the public for more, is more than proof that these men really have the goods. Next week, Mr. Drake, will present an entirely new show entitled, "My Wife." The secrecy, costumes and musical numbers will be entirely new. Drake and Walker are without a doubt two of the cleanest comedians on the stage. It is one show that must be seen to be appreciated.

Hubert, has filed suit for maintenance against her husband, John Henry Janifer, Sr. She alleges that he has refused and failed to provide for her and their children.

There are three children, John Henry, Jr., 9 years of age; Catherine, 5 years of age, and Earl Janifer, 2 years and six months. The defendant is a paperhanger and work for a Ninth Street concern. He has recently removed to the suburbs, Lincoln, Md. He is 60 years of age. ? Women To Discuss Politics Here During Inauguration Week Women politicians from all over the country are making great preparation to spend the Inaugural week in Washington. This Inauguration will mean more to them than any in the history of the country. Colored women have a new consciousness of what the franchise can, and should mean. They have permanent Headquarters in this city at 1115 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest. Women are coming from the North, South, East and West. The two National Committeewomen, Mrs. George S. Williams of Georgia, and Mrs. Mary Booze, of Mississippi are coming to help shape the policies of The National League of Republican Colored Women. A Conference will be held at The Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, It opens Thursday morning, March Fifth at 10 o'clock, with an executive session. The afternoon meeting will be thrown open to the public. It will be a Symposium, in which speakers will discuss, "The Value of the Franchise," or "What Women can do with the Ballot." The Conference will be closed with a great Platform at 8:00 o'clock. This meeting will be addressed by speakers of national prominence. Mr. William Matthews, Colonel Roscoe Simmons, Robert Church, and a number of others will speak. Walker Pilgrims Visit Holy Land Indianapolis, Ind.—Word has been received from Revs. M. J. Key, J. O. Haithcox, K. H. Burrus, and S. S. Jones, now touring Palestine as guests of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of this city. The party is all well and happy and enjoying the matchless sights of their extensive tour. Apparently, nothing worthy of note is escaping their view. In the Holy Land, many biblical passages are being more indelibly impressed upon their minds by their sight of the things and places of another day which remains unchanged by the on-rush of time. Their complete program of sightseeing in Palestine has taken them to many interesting and sacred places among them, the Church of Holy Sepulchre, covering the spot where Christ was crucified and buried. In this Church is the Rock Calvary, the stone which covered the mouth of the Sepulchre and a stone with two imprints said to be the foot prints of Christ; the Church of the Ascension covering the spot from where Christ ascended into Heaven upon the third day; the Russian Excavation which encloses the original gates of Jerusalem; the Setnsemane, the road to Mount of Olives, in a quiet secluded spot surrounded by a wall. A rock near its entrance marks the spot where Peter, James and John sapt. Near this is the spot where Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Bethlehem, the home of David and Christ has been visited, where was seen the Church of the Nativity erected over the birthplace of Christ. Bethany and Jericho have been visited; The Dead Sea where stands the traditional Pillar of Salt; the River of Jordan by which is the Valley of Moab overlooked by Mount Nebo on which Moses is buried. Other places of biblical importance too numerous to mention have been visited by these men and their trip is proving all the imagination could make it. As one member of the party wrote, "The sight-seeing has brought more to me, already, than I had anticipated." BIRNEY SCHOOL Perry W.

However, there is left an alterton a fair measure of redress f seek an equivalent of the territte a voteless delegate in the House man. Since there seems to be no like that of the States, the plan w at the same time show adequate Much discussion, pro and con, has been heard concerning the proposal to give Washington a vote in the affairs of the Nation. The discourse varies according to opinions in the several geographical sections. Washingtonians feel that about as strong a reason as any against the proposal is that to give this city the franchise would mean the throwing of the administration of the District of Columbia largely into the hands of Negroes. In other words, Negroes under the proposal would hold the balance of power—could put over or prevent almost any measure according to their liking. There is another objection which is perhaps most prevalent in the states, i.e., a reluctance to giving Washington the same number of Senators as has Texas, New York or Rhode Island, and a proportionate representation in the deliberations of the House. In short, the States object to Washington acquiring statehood. The Constitution declares that "exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever" concerning the District of Columbia be exercised by Congress. This disfranchises the District of Columbia, leaves it without representation in Congress and bars it from suing and being sued in the United States courts. It is not surprising that the, approximately, 450,000 Washingtonians are dissatisfied with this condition. Dissatisfaction would be the logical thing to expect in any American community. Being dissatisfied, it is natural to expect them to seek some form of relief. They wish to so amend the Constitution as to give Congress power to admit them "to the status of citizens of a State" in order that they may have representation in Congress and a voice among the electors of President and Vice-President and access to the courts of the United States. Under such a provision it would then be left to Congress to determine if and when Washington should be represented in Congress as the States are. But the States come forth and denounce the proposal as both unreasonable and impracticable. Such powers, legislative and political, may prove so potent an argument against the amendment for statehood as to assure its rejection by the Sates as a matter of principle. However, there is left an alternative which will give Washington a fair measure of redress for its grievances, and that is to seek an equivalent of the territorial status. This would give it a voteless delegate in the House as its representative and spokesman. Since there seems to be no clamor for local self-government, like that of the States, the plan would meet, largely, its needs and at the same time show adequate regard to State rights. Howard Trustees Meet in Mid-Winter Session Professional Schools: School of Religion 109; Law 99; Medical College 247; Dental College 104; Pharmaceutical College 49; making a total in the Professional Schools of 608 students. Special students: School of Pharmacy 3; Religion (Special Correspondence) 97; Music (Certificate Courses) 24; making a university grand total at the end of the Autumn Quarter, 1924, 1880 students. For the Winter Quarter additions will bring the attendance up to 2000. The President commented upon the registration figures that there would probably be a total of 2400 students enrolled in the University during the school year 1924-1925. Secretary-Treasurer Scott Gives Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University in discussing his financial report to the income and expenditures of the Board of Trustees at the semi-annual meeting gave a thorough analysis of the income and expenditures of the University covering the past fiscal year. A comparison with the total assets at the close of the preceding year showed the increase of $112,524.69, the valuation of the education plant showed an increase of $20,971, representing the purchase of new equipment amounting to $17,374 and expenditures of $3,597 on account of the New Gymnasium, Armory and Athletic field. Other items contributing to the increase in the total assets of the University, including the increase in the endowment funds brought about through the endowment fund campaigns in the interest of the Schools of Medicine and Religion of the University. Attention was also called to the fact that while there has been an increase in the total assets of the University, the University's needs have greatly increased and there is necessity for a larger sum for operating expenses.

Napier. While at the University members of the Board of Trustees made a tour of the grounds and a special visit to the site where the new Gymnasium, Armory, and Athletic Field will be situated. The bids for the work on these development projects have recently been let and work on the laying out of the site has been commenced.

He is frequently called to southern cities for consultation. Dr. Arthur Curtis, son of Dr. A. M. Curtis, who will assist his father, is also well fitted and qualified for the work. He is a graduate of the School of Medicine at Howard and began practicing in 1913. During the war he jonied the army and went to Europe where he served with honor. He took a post course at the University of Paris and has studied at the University of Vienna.

Layton "I retire from active service," says Elihu Root, "with a deep faith that the American people are growing every year to greater competency to give renewed life to the ideas of the fathers of the American Republic." This is a rather encouraging statement when we consider the facts which underlie American development in the last 150 years. After much painful effort, America achieved nationality, and, slowly but surely, she is acquiring an ordered democracy. At times the process is hidden but, nevertheless, it has been continuous. Despite the efforts of some of our less balanced politicians and Southern enemies to introduce racial war ideas and other alien fantasies, we are to-day nearer to the original American conceptions. We are gradually working out our own problems. A form of slavery has been stamped out and sectionalism is doomed to go. The bounds of democratic justice and opportunity are being enlarged. And we may be counted on to reach our democratic goal, as Mr. Root says, "Senate or no Senate Congress, or no Congress legislature or There are few who have served distinction than has Mr. Roof; clear-minded lawyer, with an an realties, you may justly assume and has a clear insight of her fut to take heart and to remember that of the founders of this great Veterans of the World War h those of them who frequented W their leave of absence.

There are few who have served the state with greater zeal and distinction than has Mr. Roof; yet, having lived the life of a clear-minded lawyer, with an analytical bias and a firm grip on realties, you may justly assume that he knows America's past and has a clear insight of her future. He rightly bids Americans to take heart and to remember that their task is no harder than that of the founders of this great Republic. Veterans of the World War have lost a real friend. That is, those of them who frequented Washington, during '17 and '18 on their leave of absence. Many a week-end might have been dull and a period of much evil had it not been for the big, sincere heart of Julia M. Layton, most commonly known among the boys as "Ma" Layton. And she was a mother, too. Many of them carried to her their inmost secrets concerning their wives, sweet-hearts and others and left feeling that they had received the advice of a real mother. Many a sad heart she has gladdened; many a heavy heart made lighter. She has gone, but in going she takes with her many a prayer. That those intimate ones of hers bear up bravely under the strain, that they may feel assured that her veteran sons feel deeply and sincerely the loss, is the wholehearted desire of the Veterans. ples' Drug Store No. 3; The Colored Druggists' Association; Mr. and Mrs. Hailey Douglass; Dr. U.

Dear friends and patrons: The personnel of the Artist Course Series beg to submit to your earnest consideration the following information: The meagre support on the part of local citizens generally, accorded the Artist Course Series during the seasons of 1923-24 and 1924-25, forces a new alignment of plans effecting the recital series causing an immediate suspension of same and permanent cancellation of the entire Artist Course Series beginning under date of this notice to Patrons and the public in general.

Wilkinson is Exonerated by Board Supt. Wilkinson is Exonerated by Board (Continued from page 1) of some of the conditions attendant upon his school which should be improved. "Mr. Lucas's disappointment appears to grow out of his failure to be promoted to a supervising principal-ship for which he has a number of times been a candidate, and the further possibility that he may not be made the administrative principal of the Bruce School when that school is increased in size sufficient to warrant the appointment of an administrative principal, under the provisions of the new salary act. It was pointed out in the discussion that the addition to the Bruce School will probably not be completed and occupied before the end of the school year 1925-26, or possibly September, 1926, and that in the meantime Mr. Lucas has opportunity to improve the conditions in his school and possibly merit promotion from a teaching principalship which he now holds to an administrative principal-ship.

Francis, Chairman Roy W. Tibbs, Secretary Dorey T. Rhodes, Treasurer Chas. E. Lane, Jr., Manager Wellington A. Adams, Press was not only discharging his official responsibility as first assistant superintendent in an efficient manner, but was also showing proper consideration for Mr. Lucas, because by such action, Mr. Lucas is given an opportunity to bring about the desired improvement. "While the Committee recognizes the right of every employee of the Board or any group of employees to petition the Board of Education concerning any matter, nevertheless the Committee thoroughly disapproves of the manner in which Mr. Lucas undertook to bring his personal disappointment to the attention of the Board. The Committee is constrained to believe that the printing of the letter dated January 31, addressed to the Board of Education, and signed by Mr. Lucas, implies a method of giving publicity to personal grievances which is unnecessary to secure prompt consideration by the Board, and is inevitably bound to be inimical to the best interests of the schools and the school The Committee believes that the system. ambition of Mr. Lucas to be promoted can be realized by an efficient performance of his professional responsibilities in the position which he now holds. The Committee further believes that the Board of Education need not give any further consideration to Mr. Lucas's appeal to the Board. "The Committee recommends the approval of this report."

The singing of Mr. Barrington Guy of Howard University, was the feature of the musical numbers, while the speech of Attorney Perry W. Howard climaxed that end of the program. Mr. Guy sang for his number, a song in Spanish, one in Italian and one of H. T. Burleigh's, Jr. new composition which has not as yet been published. Mr. Burleigh accompanied Mr. Guy on the piano. Mr. Guy was forced to respond to an encore. For this number he sang one of Shubert's numbers in German. The feat of singing four numbers, each in a different-language, electrified the crowd, especially the white guests, who apparently marvelled at the ability of Mr. Guy to sing effectively in so many languages. Attorney Perry W. Howard, who was the last speaker of the program, viciously denounced segregation in the Government departments and stated that he hoped that one of the first acts of President Coolidge when he came into his own on March 5th will be to issue a proclamation abolishing segregation in all departments of the Government. He also denounced the growing tendencies for more separation of the races, citing the movement for a separate bathing beach and soldiers monument. He told the white guests that he was glad to see them out and eating with their colored brothers. Continuing, he said, usually white people think that if they eat and mingle with colored people they will lose their caste; usually these people have little caste to lose. A menu consisting of the following was served: pickles, olives, oyster patties, green peas, sweet potatoes, 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 rock 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 to meet the founda and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the 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 able to meet the founda and her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned as to what was it that she had been using on her hair in treatment. Her reply was that she had only been using the ointment was prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its consequences, experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocanut Oil and California Pine Tar, could produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's hair. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that fall hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that his hair roots very seldom dgl. Delano's hair grows faster than the hair grow-for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market. He gives a free sample to every reader of this paper, who will send his or her name and address to DEPT.

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. It changed my sallow 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.
