LITTLE HOPE SEEN FOR BEACH WHITES MAKING DESPERATE EFFORT TO OPERATE PRESENT PUBLIC BEACH THIS SUMMER Congress Passes Bill To Indemnify Whites For Losses In Houston Riot First in Local Circulation. LITT WHITES MAKING EFFORT TO OPERATE PUBLIC BEACH T One Plan Advanced is to Houses at Present Beach Alternating Days to W One Plan Advanced is to Build Separate Bath Houses at Present Beach and Permit Use On Alternating Days to White and Colored --- Vol. 4, No. 41 Whole Controversy Caused By Effort To Segregate Negroes The Senate and House conferees on the District appropriation bill agreed to the Senate amendments eliminating provisions for both the white and colored bathing beaches in Tidal Basin. The Senate has approved the conference report. It is understood that the conferees are willing to have an emergency deficiency appropriation providing for the establishment of temporary bathing beaches this summer at some point along the Potomac River. It is planned, according to Lt. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, to ask for an emergency appropriation of $40,000. This will be necessary, it is estimated, to clear away the buildings at the white bathing beach and remove the construction already begun on the new bathing beach. It is planned ultimately to locate separate bathing beaches on Columbia Island, on the Virginia side of the Potomac near the Highway Bridge. The conferees have recommended that the secretary of War be authorized and instructed to make a survey of the Potomac River nearby to determine the practicability and desirability of locating the beaches on the river, and to have a report by the time Congress convenes next December. Various groups of white people are making a desperate effort to keep the present beach on the Tidal Basin open for the emoing year. A daily paper pointed out in an article Wednesday that the law did not direct the tearing down of the present beach, and stated further that as the appropriation for this year for the upkeep of playgrounds was carried in a lump sum, that a way may be devised to keep this beach open. Another plan advanced by some members of Congress, The Tribune learned last Saturday called for the construction of separate bath houses at the present beach, permitting the whites to use the beach for one day and the colored a day, and alternating thereafter. Several local organizations have made strong protest against segregation at the municipal beach. A stiff fight will be made against Federal segregation in any form. It is expected that the fight will eventually be carried to President Coolidge. The only reason for the present turmoil was the proposed locating of facilities for colored bathers on the basin. Up until this time, no Congressman or Government official had ever thought that a beach would mar the beauty of the basin. Col. Sherrill, who has charge of public buildings and grounds announced this week that he would ask Congress to pass a bill providing $40,000 for the tearing down the present beach and also the work started on the other beach. Just what the outcome of the fight will be is still unknown. Local Boy Wins Prize Christopher P. Hoffman, son of Mrs. M. A.

Gray, a real estate broker with offices in the Lewis Building. Former Officers Parties He is represented by Attorneys Henry Lincoln Johnson, George E. C. Hayes and Charles H. Houston. Besides the corporation, its former officers are made defendants. They are John W. Lewis, former president; William H. Robinson, former secretary; Lawrence E. Murray, former manager of the Whitelaw Hotel. The plaintiff seeks to have each of these defendants as well as the corporation to make an accounting of all monies and property belonging to the corporation which were handled by them. The corporation would be required to make an accounting, dividing its conformity with the District code, and to file a certificate of capital stock. In the bill of complaint it is alleged that there was an unauthorized increase of the capital stock of the corporation. It is set out that the authorized capital stock was $20,000, divided into 2,000 shares at a par value of $10 a share. The plaintiff says that this stock was quickly subscribed for, but the defendants, with the possible exception of William D. Nixon, solicited from the public and received subscriptions and monies for a further issue of purported capital stock. It is alleged that more than $100,000's worth "of such unlawful and purported capital stock has been offered and subscribed for by the public," and that at least $50,000 has been collected on such stock. The plaintiff declares that the money from the sale of this unauthorized capital stock has been commingled with the capital of the corporation, and the corporation has never filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds a certificate of the amount of capital fixed and paid in, as required by law. It is alleged that during the year of 1920 or 1921, the corporation by its officers declared and paid a dividend, at which time the corporation was forced to borrow money to meet its obligations. The plaintiff says that this dividend was made and paid apparently for the purpose of stimulating collections from subscriptions of the unauthorized capital stock. The plaintiff claims that John W. Lewis received and disbursed the ma- (Continued on page 3) A. M. E. Z. CHURCH PURCHASES DIG BLDG. ON T ST. Through the efforts of Atty. S. M. Dudley, Church Extension Secretary of the A. M. E.

Hayes, of 449 N Street, Northwest, lost $1,240, his lifes' savings, was continued until Friday morning. The trio, whom Detective Paul Jones characterized as "three of the slickest confidence men in the game," are William Brown Brooks, who gave his address as 135 West Forty-second Street, New York; Cash Martin, 823 Barre Street, Cincinnati, and James W. Vaughn, 248 West 129th Street, New York. Detective Jones says that they are southern boys, who operate in the East principally around New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. According to the story told by their victim, two of them posed as "gentlemen of means." They had two fake rolls of money; Detective Jones said, one with a dollar bill around it and the other with a five dollar bill around it. The third member of the trio was supposed to be a "hick" with a lot of money and no idea of what to do with it. The first two men suggested to Hayes that they start a crap game and take the $3,500 from he "hick." Hayes fell for the plot. He lost $140 which he had on his person at the time and then went to the bank and drew out $1,100, which he immediately lost in the game. The three men were arrested in Norfolk. Hayes described Brooks to Detective Jones, and he immediately went to the "rogues gallery" and got a photograph of Brooks, which Hayes identified. The men were traced from here to Baltimore and from Baltimore to Norfolk where they were taken into custody at the Eagle Hotel. No secret can be half kept: a kettie is either covered or uncovered. Office: 920 U St., N.W. Extension Secretary of ion Church rs Arrested of Local Man He Lost $1240 RECEIVERSHIP IS UNNECESSARY SAYS MRS.MADRE Mrs. Nora Madre, widow of the late Moses Madre, in a statement to The Tribune, denies that a receivership is necessary for the barbershop operated under the firm name of "Madre Bross." Lindsay Madre, brother of the deceased, asked the District Supreme Court for a temporary receivership. Her statement is as follows: "No receiver is necessary, as the late Moses Madre was sole owner of the shop. I am in possession of receipts for every article in the shop, all bought in Moses Madre's name, and I have ample proof that the ...iff., Lindsay Madre, has never owned one penny's worth of partnership in the shop. He has nothing to do with the shop. I as the wife of Moses Madre did remove the locks as stated only after the plaintiff had unlawfully taken possession of said shop as soon as he knew his brother, Moses Madre, had died and refused to surrender keys for the same. I then had original locks removed and new ones placed in their places. "The charges which he, Lindsay Madre, has filed against me, Nora Madre, are all absolutely false."

Price 5 Cents EACH lemnify on Riot PRECEDENT SET AS SOUTHERNERS GET DAMAGES A bill providing compensation for loss of life, personal injuries, and damages to property inflicted by members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry during the Houston riot on the night of August 23, 1917, at Houston, Texas, was passed the Senate last Wednesday. The bill provides for the relief of about twenty-one claimants in various amounts, the total amount being something like $45,000. The claims range from $250 to $5,000. The claims in the bill were approved by the Secretary of War. The House Committee on Claims came to a favorable conclusion on the measure and the House of Representatives passed the bill. During the debate on the bill in the Senate, it was brought out that no such bill was passed when soldiers shot up Brownsville, Texas. Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah, contended that if the bill were passed, "it will mean that wherever there is a raid or a drunken orgy on the part of United States soldiers, the Government is far high of States will have retary of War made the following statement: "The War Department deplores those tragic occurrences at Houston, truly stated by the Judge Advocate General to be without parallel in the history of our Army, and regrets that so many innocent persons should have suffered therefrom. If the Congress, in its discretion, desires to extend relief to those who were injured and to the families of those who were killed, the War Department is not apprised of any facts which would make such relief improper or objectionable." Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, stated that he regarded the passage of such legislation as a dangerous precedent. He opposed the measure. The bill was sponsored by Senators Sheppard and Mayfield, Democrats, of Texas. It was passed by a viva voce vote. LOCAL INSURANCE AGENT WRITES RECORD DEBIT LOCAL INSURANCE AGENT WRITES RECORD DEBIT Mr. G. L. Richardson, local agent of the Southern Aid Society who has made such a remarkable record since joining this company's agency force a little over a year ago, has won more laurels. Last week, Mr. Richardson passed the Richmond agent, who for years had maintained the largest debit of any agent. The office records of last week shows the debit of Mr. Richardson at $287.40, while that of his nearest opponent, Mr. Ruffin of Richmond, the home office, had a total debit of $257.09. With new business already turned in this week by Mr. Richardson, he expects to better his own record and bring his total debit up to $302. So far as it is known, this is the largest debit of any agent of this company or any other company operating in this section. In his successful fight for the largest debit, Mr. Richardson has won many prizes. He is now the highest paid employee of the company. --- LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO THE TRIO BEAUTY PARLOR AND SCHOOL 1944 9th Street, N.W. The home of efficiency and satisfaction.

Rather would you not seek the services of the most skillful physician you could secure? Would it not pay you to use the same care in selecting your druggist? You want the best.

Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed. There's no longer reason for having poor, unhealthy scalps and dull lifeless hair. It has been proven that MADAM C. J. WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR PREPARATIONS are directly opposed to harmful germ life, that they attack only diseased tissues, tend to keep the scalp free from dandruff and itch, allay falling hair, enrich the scalp, stimulate growth and make for long lustrous hair.

Special Clien Whip Whips The enthusiastic meeting of Queen Esther Chapter, O. E. S., held last week marks the ready steps of the Chapter forward. A large number was present awaiting the literary feature of the programme. The Chapter was opened promptly at 8 p.m. by the Royal Matron and the members at once rallied to the secretary's desk to clear the way for business action. The reports of committees, the disposal of Inaugural ball tickets and the paying on bonds all consumed but little time. There was no time for "informal reception"—talking at random. When the literary stage was reached the Royal Matron turned the meeting over to the Royal Patron who lost little time clearing the deck for action. Everybody "sat around on their toes" anxious to hear the speech of words introducing the work, the individual help to be derived from such work and the great good that would come to the individuals and to the Chaptre, which were briefly outlined by the Patron. Miss Mayme Stewart in fitting words, presented the speaker of the evening. The speaker, who was Mrs. Roselle Thomas, Past Grand Lecturer O. E. S., rose to her full literary height and fed the audience for ten minutes. Her subject was Charity which she discussed in three parts. (1) Charity for self and home, (2) as a citizen, (3) as an organization. The speaker was showered with congratulations and thanks. The response to the speech was delivered by Lady Sarah Goins, Past Matron of the Chapter. Mrs. Goins did herself proud in her delivery and had the audience with her because her whole soul seemed to be thrown into the effort. On the strength of what the speaker of the evening said, the responder appealed to her Chapter to revive the Charity box—which was done. The co-incident of the affair was that the first person to contribute to the fund was named Charity. The pianist, Mrs. Ethel Bolden, sang nicely and received great applause. Her ready effort to serve the Chapter is highly recommended. The Royal Matron appointed chairmen of the following committees: Club No. 1, Alice Gaskins; Club No. 2, Mayme Stewart; Club No. 3, Lucy Perkins, and Club No. 4, Aman- EARN $25 TO $50 WEEK Enter a Clean, Pleasant, Money Making Business BE YOUR OWN BOSS Learn Scientific Beauty Culture at Home by Mail Complete detailed course covering every phase of hair, skin, health, foot and hand culture, special hairdressing The ARROWAY Dept. 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Ill.

Frazier in the death of his wife, Mrs. Mattie Contee Frazier. Eastern Star to Give Inaugural Ball The committee in charge of the arrangements for the Inaugural Ball to be given by the Order of the Eastern Star at the Lincoln Colonnade on March 5th, met at the residence of the Chairman, Mrs. Bertha L. Anderson, and wound up the necessary preliminaries for this affair. According to the plans as submitted by the various sub-committees, this ball promises to be the most elaborate of any of the affairs staged by the craft in recent years. Grand Royal Matron Georgia B. Henry has given much time and attention to the supervision of the work of the several committees, and they have responded nobly to her tactful leadership. Being a person who has worked hard for years helping to bring success to others who have had charge of various activities, she can easily command, and her supporters readily respond to every appeal.

The plaintiff says that the corporation by its officers has repeatedly called upon him to make an accounting of the money and property, real, personal and mixed, of the corporation held by him, but rather than do so he severed his connections with the corporation. The bill alleges that William H. Robinson and Lawrence E. Murray as agents of the corporation participated in the delivery to John W. Lewis complete personal and unrestrained control of the monies and properties of the enterprise. It is alleged that William D. Nixon was in charge of the Whitelaw as manager and handled and disbursed large sums of the corporation's money and upon abandoning his agency was called upon by the corporation to make a full and complete accounting, but has not done so. All of these defendants, the bill says, have severed their official connections with the corporation and have failed to make a full and complete accounting of their acts as agents and officers of the corporation.

The Panthers are out for the Eastern basketball championship. Having already defeated the Athenians and Loendi only the Renaissance and Alcoes stand in the way of the Philadelphia aggregation and national honors. In Campbell, the visitors will present one of the stars of eastern basketball, while Troy, Chambers, Young; are also classy performers. The Alcoes, since turning Loendi back, are confident that they can take the measure of any quintet in the country. Manager Carter is giving the fans for the first time an added attraction of two preliminary games. The St. Cyprian Reserves and Community A. C. will clash in the opener, while the Senegals and Elite Panthers will meet in semi-final. Alco-Carlisle Date Arranged According to reliable sources the managers of the Alco and Carlisle basketball teamq have definitely agreed to bring their teams together to decide the District title. A series of three games will be played. Friday night, March 13th, has been decided upon as the time and Murray's Casino, the place for the open-onses dates back a number of years. Both clubs have enjoyed their championship days. Last year a mammoth crowd saw the Alcoes triumph in a close spectacular struggle. The great showing of the Alcoes this season has slightly overshadowed that of Carlisle. But Conway's tossers will be ready for the opening gong on the 13th. "Soup" Turner and Trigg are the leading additions to the Alco team since last season while Jones, Coates and Willie Davis are new members of the Carlisle squad. CANADIAN WALKING STAR DEFEATS ITALIAN CHAMPION Philip Granville, Canadian Negro and former winner of the American national walking title, scored a spectacular victory over Ugo Frigerio, clapper little Italian and Olympic champion, in a mile and a half heel and toe event that aroused the crowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm.

Va., Feb. 26.—The Athletic Associations of the Virginia Union University, St. Paul and Virginia Norma and Industrial Institute will hold a grand cross-country run at YM.CA 09-10 Left to right—Top row—J. L. Chestnut, in charge of Eastern Division of the Chicago Defender; Nifon (deceased); Robert Anderson, local government official; Lewis Johnson, prominent Chicago attorney; Middle row—Dr. Hudson Oliver, New York physician; Maurice Clifford, attorney; Front row—Dr. Edward Gray, physician of Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. E. B. Henderson, Director of Physical Education in local high schools; Dr. Arthur Curtis, local Many Players With some of the players sharpening up their batting orbs in the Southland and working out the kinks in the Winter League, the time is rapidly approaching when the owners of the Eastern Colored League clubs will sound the call for their seions of swat to trek to the various ball lots and assemble for the 1925 championship dash, which incidently will be the third season of existence for the organized body to operate along the Atlantic seaboard. To date no changes have been announced in the make-up of Bacharach Giants, which lined up in 1924 with Gatewood and Jones doing the receiving. Harper, Starks, Lockhart and String Beans Williams, pitchers; Cummings, Lloyd, Dick Lundy and Johnny George will form the infield. Mason, Ramirez and Shively will be stationed in the outer garden, with Ambrose Reid and Milt Lewis available for utility duty. The one big item of the roster of the Bacharach's is the fact that "Rats" Henderson is expected to return to the fold. Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants will take the field without a regular outfielder stationed in the outer garden. Of last season's secondary defense men, Kemp was let out during last season, Kenyon has been given his release and Benny Wilson, the diminutive right fielder, with the consent of Jim Keenan, will cast his lot with the Pennsylvania Red Caps and pastime for them the coming season. Orville Singer and George Scales, two erstwhile second sackers will be stationed in the outfield and the other berth will be filled by Thomas Gee, a catcher, with outfielding ability. Gee hails from Texas and is a brother of Dick Gee the Lincoln's win pad artist. Four other new additions to the Bronx clan are, Buck Ewing, a catcher; Ed. Prior, who will be stationed at the second sack and two Bill's, Hodge and Jackman, both hurlers from the Lone Star State. Holland and Burnett are two more that have been shooed away from the Protectory Oval. Ed. Bolden's Hildale champions have been given a shake up by the Phillie pilot, thre veterans, Santop, Ryan and Alle nhave been let out. Two new men have been signed, Bill Robinson, an unknown will try for a beat at shortstop and Luther Ferrell, a southpaw pitcher who has med a reputation around the shores of Lake Michigan, will be numbered along the boxmen. Mackev the versatile athlete, who plays most every By Lloyd Thompson THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1925 position, but excels as a catcher, will do the bulk of the receiving. Joe Lewis will also wear the shin guards. Lee, Winters, Currie, Cockrell, Campbell and Ferrell, will compose the hurling corps. George Carr, Warfield, Stevens and Judy Johnson make up the infield and the same outfielders, Briggs, George Johnson and Thomas round out the balance of the team. Standing pat on last season's lineup, the Brooklyn Giants with Eddie Douglass at the head, will attempt to better their standing in the percentage column. Smoky Joe Williams and Jules Thomas have been given their release and to date no new faces added. Cason and Spearman will do the catching. Redding, Rector, Flournoy and Hubbard will take their turn in the box. If Hubbard shows anything like the form he exhibited '21' he will take a lot of worry off Douglass' mind. Douglass, Downs, Wagner and Johnson Hill will play the infield positions. Sobby Scott and Brooke in the outfield will very likely be assisted by Connie Rector and Hubbard. The Cuban Stars will again be in the running when the barrier drops for the coming season and Manager Pompez has been on the lookout for new talent on the islands during the Winter League season. The following men will report for duty May first: catchers, Fernandez and Cardenas; pitchers, Oscar, Jaunelo, Estrada, Lopez and Fabre. Dihigo, Jiminez, Chacon and Portuondo will form the infield. Messa, Oms and pitchers Fabre and Estrada will take care of the garden. Of course some of the new talent may displease many of the fans. The Potomacs, or George Robinson's entry, is another club that has made many changes in preparing for the coming season. Danny McClellan of Philadelphia Giant fame, is bringing four men that were the back bone of that team, Eggleston and Johnson are the catchers; Hampton, Wayne Carr, McDonald, Crier, Newsome and Arthur Chambers, form a good staff of hurlers. Stack Martin, from the West; Hamilton, Lindsay, and Lockhart are infielders. Chaney White, Dallard and Washington, outfielders, round out the team. Colonel Strothers of Harrisburg, is also standing pat on the lineup of his Giants. Jordan and Burnett, catchers; Cooper, Corbett, Henry, Bell and Gardner, pitehers; Wesley, Jackson, Fiall and Russell, infielders; Dixon, Jenkins and Manager Charles- The above aggregation represented the local Y. M. C. A. in 1909-1910 and never lost a game. Most of the squad attended Howard and helped to make basketball history at this university. Henderson, Gray, Oliver and Curtis will try a come-back against Howard varsity at Colonnade this afternoon. physician. In Last Minute In a game featured by close guarding and poor shooting the Howard University quintet scored a onepoint victory over the West Virginia cagers, Monday night at the Normal gym by the score, 16 to 15. Only seven field goals were made during the game. The first half ended with the visitors leading 7 to 5. Cobb's foul shooting, Carpenter's aggressiveness and the guarding of Jackson, Meroney, Collums and White were the leading sidelights. Howard (16) W. Virginia (15) Spencer R.F. Drain (c.) Cobb L.F. Sinclair Washington Cen er. Gaithers Jackson R.G. Culloms Meroney L.G. White Substitutes: Howard—MecOy, Carpenter, Lawton, Morrow.

REVAMPED WAR COLLEGE QUINTET WANTS GAMES The War College basketball team is ready to meet any junior, senior or Y. M. C. A. League team in the city and on any court. New faces have been added to the War College squad. The addition of Theodore Bailey, guard, and William Brown, forward, has made the Barracks' quintet a classy one. Teams can communicate with Theo. Bailey, 231 Thirl St., N. E., or call Lincoln 8508, after 5 o'clock. GET SCARED, HOWARD, "JAZZ" BYRD TRAINS. Lincoln University will cut a big figure in the proposed dual track meet with Howard this year. "Jazz" Byrd can be seen scaling fences and rivers most any morning. Byrd is set on winning both the broad-jump and high jump. Bill Taylor, inter-collegiate dash champion, has also started training. Lincoln has lost two members of its champion relay team. Only Strickland and Gordon remain but they are good ones. ton in the outfield. The Black Sox of Baltimore have signed a former battery in Nick Logan and Bob Clark. The regulars retained are Rojo and Pullen, catchers; Strong, Britt, McClure and Jefferies, pitchers; Wilson, Day, Beckwith and Ford, infielders; Wade Johnson, Leonard and Holloway, outfielders. Alcoe-Carlisle Series Date Set Opener To Dunbar Dunbar drew first blood in the high school basketball championship series by defeating Armstrong, Thursday, 20 to 17. Both teams appeared to lack high calibre material. Armstrong's scrub team made a better showing against the winners than did the first-stringers. Williams' guarding was the outstanding feature while Robinson, who was rushed into the game in the last five minutes, put Armstrong on even terms with Dunbar with three sensational shots from near mid-court. Referee Gibson handled the game well. Dunbar (20) Armstrong (17) Cook (c.) R.F. Brown Henry L.F. Henderson Gibson Center Jones Jackson R.G. Darden Williams L.G.

Seminary gymnasium, the Gamma Omega Lightning Five trounced the speedy Shaw University quint, 8 to 11. The game was fought hard but clean from whistle to whistle. Shaw's passing game was very good. For Omega, Whedbee was the outstanding player, making eight of the eighteen points. Omega (18) Shaw (11) Steptoe R.F. Armstrong Brown L.F. Diamond Whedbee Center Wade Perry R.G. Falliner Johnson R.G.

AT 8 P.M. COME EARLY "Chicago Monkey Man Blues A Tonic for Jaded Nerves Basketball Notes The Kansas, Shiloh and Senegal teams are making a battle for the "Y" Senior League title. A triple tie is not at all unlikely. The Renaissance Big Five of New York City with such stars as Shocum, George Fial, "Fats" Jenkins, Pappy Ricks, "Hal" Mayers, Monte and Garcia, is the prima donna of Negro basketball. The Renaissance were only beaten out by the Celtics in the last half. The final score was 43-35. Hampton and Morehouse tie up Saturday night to decide the Eastern title. "Ducks" Gibson handled the Dunbar-Armstrong game in grand style. One thing about Referee Gibson, he calls them when he sees them and without fear or favor. That is why his services are in demand for both football and basketball. Still we don't relish the idea of going to Baltimore for a referee. If Dunbar upsets Armstrong again, the intersectional "classic" will be hit a hard blow. The Eighth Regiment of Chicago was defeated by Loendi in a poorly played game. The Baltimore Athenians are again home after nearly a month on the road. The Athenians lost to Wilberforce, Acme, 8th Regiment, Philadelphia Panthers, but defeated the Atlantic City "Y." Can the Carlisle guards stop Turner and Berry of the Alcoes? Something no team has done this year. The Carlisle quintet will journey to Lynchburg on March 13th, to meet the fast Gamma Omega Lightning Five. Jimmie Lee, the promising young center and captain of the Shiloh quintet, is ready to take his place in the regular line-up after a short serious illness. The Morehouse quintet dropped a close game to the Atlantic City "Y" quintet by the count of 31-25. Morehouse had the lead with only two minutes to go. Bailey, a Morehouse guard, is one of the sharpest shooters here this year. Five goals from beyond a 17-foot radius was made by Bailey against Howard. Coach Harvey considers this years' Morehouse five about the best he has coached. Meroney, the Dunbar product, is making a good showing in the Howard backfield. The Alcoes go to Philadelphia for a return game with the Panthers, March 6th. The Philadelphia Panthers were defeated by the powerful New York Renaissance probably the greatest colored aggregation in history by the count, 61-38. UNION LEAGUE ABOUT READY Officials of the Union League are now mapping out their plans for the coming season. About six clubs will likely make up the league's roster this year. Definite announcement will be made shortly. Jack Johnson is still getting his name in the papers. Now they have "Jack" in the famous Stokes case. Johnson says he did not know Mrs. Stokes but was offered money, which he refused, to say that he did know her. The Shiloh kept in the running for the "Y" Senior League basketball championship by defeating the Senegals "School Boy Wonders" by the score 24 to 11. Suter was the outstanding player for the losers while the guarding of Boxdial and Delaney and court playing of Hammon and Baker were features. Shiloh Position Senegals Hamon R.F. Lavale Baker L.F. Burton Williams Center Underdown Boxdiel R.G. Tew尔 Delaney R.G.

DRAKE AND WALKER SCORES BIG HIT Drake and Walker's Bom Bay Girls scored another hit at the Howard Theatre this weekk in "My Wife." This company has done what few other shows have done at this theater, that is, play two straight weeks on a return engagement and play to a bigger house the second week than the first. Drake and his Cyclonic Jazz Band was again the feature of the show. The big audience forced them to give encore after encore and Drake, in his usually clownish fashion, always responded. Many Charges Made At Fisk Nashville, Tenn., Feb.-The last week in the situation at Fisk University here has seen a lessening of the heat of battle and witnessed an effort on the part of more and more students to restore the institution to a normal state. The week has been largely taken up with the work of arbitration among groups in the city and within the Greater Fisk committee, composed of prominent Fisk graduates from many sections of the country. Among those who have taken part in the deliberations have been: Rev. Henry H. Proctor, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Henry H. Proctor, Jr., Chicago, Ill.; James H. Robinson, Cincinnati, O.; Miss Sophia Boaz, Chicago, Ill.; F. A. Stewart, Tennessee; T. S. Inborden, North Carolina; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Alabama, and John M. Gandy, Virginia, and four members of the board of trustees, including Hollingsworth Wood, acting chairman of the trustee board, New York-Mrs. Arch Trawick, Tennessee; J. C. Napier, Tennessee, and President McKenzie. The line of action decided upon seems to be one of moderation, toleration and compromise. The student demands will not be met; that is to say, not immediately. There is a determined desire on the part of the students to get rid of McKenzie. They regard him as a weakling, incompetent, and a truckler to southern whites. During the week he was an honor guest of the Exchange Club which during its national convention held here last summer refused to admit Negroes to membership, and, the students recall, McKenzie is a member of several white clubs in this city which have excused student-waiters from the dining rooms where McKenzie has been present and prepared to speak. There have also been charges of the president's connection with the Ku Klux Klan. Last spring the suggestions were written at various places on the campus and drew McKenzie's ire. Since the recent outbreak the suspicion has been more pronounced Colored organizations of this city have been almost a unit in denouncing Dr. W. W. Sumlin, who last week publicly excoriated the students, colored preachers and Negro organizations for their attitude toward the institution. A resolution was introduced at a meeting of the officers of the medical school which he heads to remove him from office and to expel him from the organization, and another resolution was passed by the Ministerial Alliance taking high exception to his remarks. A lively tilt was precipitated at a meeting of graduates of the school between J. C. Napier, a trustee, and Henry H. Proctor Jr., young Chicago lawyer, who was formerly city editor of the Chicago Whip. Napier was riled by Proctor to the point that he called the latter a "young upstart." Mr. Proctor, in his talk, had suggested to Mr. Napier that it would be better for the trustee to act honestly in this matter inasmuch as he was nearing the grave and shouldn't do so with anything wicked in his heart. Proctor's remarks are felt to have been tineted by his knowledge of Napier's financial connections with the famous Fisk endowment fund. Mr. Proctor apologized for remarks which he had made that might have been injurious to Mr. Napier's feelings. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1925 Race Congress Makes Out Program At a meeting yesterday, the program committee of the National Race Congress, which convenes in its tenth annual session in this city, March 3-6, inclusive, the order of procedure and the special themes to be discussed each day were agreed upon.

Perfect Plans For the Alumni Banquet A committee of the Alumni and Faculty of Howard University has made elaborate plans for the Second Annual Alumni-Senior Charter Day Dinner to be held on the evening of March second in the New Dining Hall on the Howard University Campus. The occasion on this year promises to eclipse the initial Alumni-Senior Charter Day Dinner which was held last year on this same date. The Chairman of the committee, Mrs. Alma J. Scott, member of the class of 1901, has announced that arrangements have been made for not less than 500 plates for the occasion and that the Collegiate Troubadours, a student orchestra, has offered to donate their services. The Alumni-Senior Charter Day Dinner is a unique innovation which was started last year. It produced a fellow-feeling among the Alumni and Faculty most beneficial to the school as a whole. A special feature of the dinner is the provision that each member of the Faculty and each Alumna is considered a host of the Senior Class. The Seniors are invited in separate table groups by members of the PAGE FIVF Alumni and Faculty to be their guests, each member of the Alumni and Faculty being required to invite not less than one member of the Senior Class. The Committee in charge of the Alumni-Senior Charter Day Dinner is as follows: Mrs. Alma J. Scott, chairman; Dean Lucy D. Slowe; Miss Ethel C. Harris; Atty. George A. Parker; Miss Marie E. Jordan; Mr. Maurice Clifford; Miss Mariet G. Heard; Miss Norma E. Boyd; Dr. William H. Greene; Miss Eleanor Rivers, and Mr. Robert L. Evans. CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT GREETS CHILDREN Several days ago the fourth grade children of the Lucretia Mott School were visiting the Congressional Library and the Capitol. The teacher Mise Mary Dalany, was leading the pupils through the corridors of the main building when she came face to face with former President, now Chief Justice Taft. "Oh! Mr. Chief Justice. How do you do? We are so glad to see you" she said. "Well, well," said Mr. Taft, I am very glad to see you and I hope you will enjoy your visit to the Capitol." The Chief Justice talked with the children three or four minutes and then shook hands with the teacher and the smallest pupil, Elizabeth Barbour. One of the northern senators assisted the teacher up the stairway. He too, was delighted to see the children and said "Food, bring the children down for they are the hope of the Nation." —Contributed U ST. NEAR 12th Chan. E. Lane, Jr., Mgr. SUNDAYS & HOLIDAYS 3 P.M.

Having received last November one of the most extraordinary personal tributes in the history of American politics, Mr. Calvin Coolidge will take an oath, next Wednesday, to defend the Constitution, and, thereafter, will be in a position to demand the highest honor which these United States can bestow. His public career to date has been such as to cast a shadow of suspicion upon his future.

It is no more than logical to ask: After March 4th, then what? Shall we expect him to follow the orthodox principles of the Republican party? Or shall we expect him to follow a groove of liberal-conservatism, or one of radicalism, not of a populistic nor of a Democratic derivation, but of a strict Republican derivation?—one which comes as the result of the exploring and charting of his character and temper. Will he show a passion for personal independence and for personal honesty in government? Will his economic philosophy and philosophy about the structure of government be Republicanly conventional? Will his official appointments be on merit, irrespective of race or color, or on behalf of “Big Business”? Since Fate made him President, he has gone through a furnace. Has the heat of it made him into a man of iron, the molecules of which are unmalleable, impenetrable and magnificent in strength? Will he come forth as a knight in armor seeing dragons along every roadside and aspiring to slay them all with his own sword? These are a few questions of vital interest to the American citizen. Of course we know that he will make good. But in making good will it be in the interest of the masses, or in that of “Big Business”? Herein is the question. In making good in the interest of the masses, we mean the cutting out of all policies and prejudices which are intended for certain races, colors or creeds, and the substituting thereof only those which affect all citizens alike, black and white, irrespective of creeds.

Conflicts between capital and labor, between town and country, between East and West, between manufacturer and farmer, between banker and creditor, and between whites and blacks, can be successfully solved only by direct negotiation, by local arrangement and local experiment under the calming influence of a National Government which is so incorruptible and so fair, so generous and so unobtrusive, so firm and so simple, that factional interest and factional ambition and racial prejudice are subdued to the spirit of give and take, of live and let live. May he have wisdom. May he have morals. May he have ideals—but only those which are justified in the economy of Providence. May he be able to reconcile himself without complaining to the inexorable movement which the skeptical call the grand *pis aller* and the devout the divine plan.

THE GUGGENHEIM SCHOLARSHIPS The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowships, which supplement the great Rhodes Foundation, come as a golden opportunity for members of the Race "to carry on their studies in any country in the world where they can work most profitably." Fellowships are open to men and women, single or married, of "every race, color and creed"; and available to students older than those to whom the Rhodes scholarships are open, thus including professors on sabbatical leave, holders of fellowships from individual colleges and those who have won distinction in graduate study. We sincerely desire that members of the Race should take advantage of these fellowships. In fact, the state of the Race is such as to demand that they avail themselves of this opportunity The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowships, which supplement the great Rhodes Foundation, come as a golden opportunity for members of the Race "to carry on their studies in any country in the world where they can work most profitably." Fellowships are open to men and women, single or married, of "every race, color and creed"; and available to students older than those to whom the Rhodes scholarships are open, thus including professors on sabbatical leave, holders of fellowships from individual colleges and those who have won distinction in graduate study. We sincerely desire that members of the Race should take advantage of these fellowships. In fact, the state of the Race is such as to demand that they avail themselves of this opportunity to acquit themselves as men among men. By so doing, they will be more able to devise a plan whereby their goal of citizenship-infact may be obtained. There is no excuse and but one proviso: they ask only that the results of the study which they promote shall be made available to humanity everywhere. White "bosses" have a definite plan for obtaining everything they want. The Rhodes scholarships are given, as a matter of politics, for their influence on the students. They are a picturesque reflection of the nineteenth century's belief in political and social salvation through mass schooling and the dissemination of knowledge. This dissemination of knowledge has done a great deal, but not all that was hoped for it. Therefore, the Guggenheim scholarships are designed, not for the students, but for the study they may do; and they reflect the awakening suspicion that it is not the dissemination but the getting of knowledge that demands our attention. It is high time that the Race devise some plan for its political, economical and social salvation. Isolation is impracticable in a country in which races must of necessity intermingle, as is done in America. The free exchange of opinions and the adaptation to conditions, or the adjustment of them, are the most efficacious means for a political, economical or social salvation. These are not to be had over night; for any lasting change which affects a nation must be gradual. We are to-day, just beginning to reap the spoils of Frederick Douglass's efforts. And when his name is mentioned, we immediately think of him in some terms of a savior. It is incumbent upon us to work to an end whereby our posterity may enjoy the fruits of our labor. And the prime requisite to this is disseminated knowledge. Something of Interest Race Christianity, a Failure.

It is as indifferent to him as it is to a tadpole or a flower. He can comprehend its mechanism, but he can not influence it. He is permitted to regulate his own conduct, and, to some extent, that of his fellows. He has influenced some of the forces of nature, thereby making his stay on the planet longer and pleasanter than that of his forefathers.. He has convinced himself or been convinced, that his conduct during this life stands in definite relationship to a life which he believes and feels will be vouchsafed him in another world. The instrument which mediates this belief or conviction is religion. There are many varieties of religious faiths, but all diversities have the same fundamental principal and purpose. A. E. H. Religions are as numerous as the races. The white race, whose religion is more lip than heart, makes a priviso in accepting Christianity. It is ambitious only for its own salvation. It neither proselytes nor missionizes, coerces nor cajoles. It disdains to employ force majeure to pry the scales from the eyes of Christians or heathens. Man is biologically so constructed as to be predatory and domineering. He claims that his sole purpose is to be useful and happy, but he struggles for power and possession. In proportion as he gets them, he acquires a feeling of superiority. His uncontrollable lust for power, his ineradicable desire for possession, his overwhelming conviction of superiority keeps the world in turmoil and spasmodically drench it with blood. At times it seems a deluge which threatens to submerge us. But the dove invariably reappears and, as soon as it does, our superiority complex again is rampant. Man is biologically so constructed as to be predatory and domin ing. He claims that his sole purpose is to be useful and happy, he struggles for power and possession. In proportion as he s them, he acquires a feeling of superiority. His uncontrolla- The failure to convert the heathen and to bring the so-called inferior races up to standard has caused race-prejudices—jealousies—hatreds, which are the culture media of war; and has given rise to the questions: Is Christianity pragmatic? Does it "work"? If it is and does, why has it not accomplished more? Why has it not tended to prevent wars, to eradicate prejudices, to promote brotherly love? Wherever you ask these question you will hear a chorus of voices thunder, "It has!" But if you take up your newspaper, with its dispatches from Cairo or Hongkong, from London or Madrid, from Dixie or New England, you will find set forth the engrossment of white men in cutting black men's throats, the satisfaction of yellow men in having slaughtered some thousands of their own kind, the exaltation of Judaism that the Arab is being crowded out of Palestine. You may believe that Christianity is not only practicable, but also perfect; and if so, you begin to ponder. In doing so you recall that the Episcopal Branch of the Methodist church resolved, last May, "that we repudiate as un-Christian and untrue the idea that certain races are born to inherent, fixt superiority and rulership, while others are born to inherent and fixt inferiority and subordination. We stand for the life of open opportunity for all." And further, you will recall, this same body gave as its belief that Christianity, in its origin, was "the blinding vision of one race, one color, and one soul in humanity." But this vision was not followed, consequently we have a world divided into suspicious and warring groups. You can not deny that it is divided; and, in so far as the division continues, Christianity has and will fail. Jazz music is fascinating, but the panorama or fashion unrolls its incessant changes along the centuries and whirligigs its way through all generations. Just where the inspiration for this dervish-dance, which never ceases, which grows faster and faster until—if you keep pace with it—it leaves you breathless and exhausted, is to be found, it is hard to say. Few ever think of the rapid changes that make their attire out of date almost as soon as they have begun to wear it. Yet if they should peep behind the fashion-plates and show-windows, they would easily conclude that the inspiration for fashion is commercial, and is born of a vast, complex system of world-wide production, manufacturing and trade, and that upon the speed and variety of that unrolling panorama and its whirligiging figures depends the prosperity of millions. Woman is the most affected by fashion's panorama. However rebellious she may be against its rule, she is forced to admit, soon or late, that rebellion is not practicable; and to wonder what to do about it. She wants (God bless her wherever she be—nobody but herself knows how ardently she wants) to be suitably and charmingly clad, to have clothes that are in good taste, within her means, and sufficiently conformable to current styles. Her problem is the question for which the great mass of women who, whether or not they have looked with the mind'e eye behind the scenes, contemplate the panorama of fashion with a chronic feeling of despair. Is there no relief; no esthetic philosophy of the subject, which would give it practical application to every-day life? Would not a theme, which makes attire subordinate, an ever-present aid to figure, countenance and personality, be more appropriate than one which makes style the handmaiden of the princess? Clothes are mere cards of introduction, the means of individual expression of high consequences in the success and welfare and happiness of the individual. They enhance personality, but never supersede it. An up-to-date conception of the part attire plays in modern life, affecting our behavior, enabling us to establish self-confidence and contributing to our success in life, is of much significance. There must be emancipation from the shackles of Parisian fashion; for self-analysis and self-expression have created in this country a new self-sufficiency and a new self-reliance. Some practical information must be had whereby standards of taste may be developed with the result that the best in us may be enhanced and the worst suppressed. Jokes are good tonics for everyone. Even the most menial laborer likes the salt of a joke. We have therapy of this, that and the other; but nothing is more therapeutic than a little humor mixed with one's daily duties. Of course, there are extremes in everything; but the extreme of making all work a joke must be avoided. The danger of taking work too seriously is much greater than that of making all work a joke. Those who are commonly known as "the common laborer" seem to be more aware of the value of humor than the "four hundred," or the upper-class. It may be that the laborer's mind plays more freely than the minds of the brain workers; for we find traditional jokes in each trade worked off on the innocent apprentice or the ignorant by-stander. The printer delights in sending an apprentice to the shop for a can of black whitelead, or hunting for an italic period; and the printing office force finds a like pleasure in calling for striped ink. The carpenter's humor is embodied in the fancy of a leather-faced hammer; the machinist's sense of humor is tickled by the notion of a left-handed screwdriver. The surveyor's invention appears in the notion of a compass key. If a compass looks like a watch, why should it not have a key? The barber shop has its Henry Hill, the funny man. All this is humor. Some call for no great exercise of wit or ingenuity. But it all has about it, the flavor of simple truth to nature. However, it is different from the kind of humor exhibited in the old tale of the farmer to whom a cash-and-credit-house MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A.

Turner—3LF Enough has been said about the crystal receiver, whose construction and operation is so extremely simple, and now we turn our attention to a more sensitive, yet, more complicated piece of apparatus—the "tube set." With this type receiver one may enjoy loudspeaker operation together with the constant reception of distant stations. The heart of the tube receiver is a supersensitive little device called the vacuum-tube which, in addition to being a more sensitive detector than the crystal, may also be used an amplifier. The vacuum tube resembles, in construction, an ordinary electric-light bulb but on closer observation, one will find that it, in addition to having a "filament" (the heated wire) it has two more elements—the "grid" and "plate." - Like an electric-light bulb, the vacuum tube may burn out if care is not taken in lighting it. The life of the average vacuum tube is approximately 2,000 hours and if used carefully one may listen in three hours each Grid Plate Hot Miliameter House-Voltage is Battery Indicating Milliameter RADIO "A" BATTERY night for one year before his tube burns out. Unlike the crystal receiver, the tube set requires two sets of batteries for operation-the "A" battery (used to light the filament) and the "B" battery (used to supply pulsating direct current which passes through the loud-speaker or phones and in turn reproduces the broadcast program.) The three-principal type vacuum tubes are the UV 199 requiring an "A" battery of three volts, the UV 201-A requiring six volts and the WD 12 requiring $1\frac{1}{2}$ volts (one dry cell). Four dry cells or one storage battery will give six volts, two will furnish three volts, and one will give one and one-half volts. It is advised that a storage battery (six volts) be used with the UV 201-A tube as that type exhausts dry cells in an amazingly short time. Storage batteries cost from ten to fifteen dollars, but, unlike the dry cell, may be charged when run down. So in selecting your first tube, or tubes, take a good look at your purse and decide just what type tube you can afford "A" batteries for. Much money was expended in research work connected with the development of the vacuum tube and it is only fair that the manufacturer and inventor get some percentage of it back by charging consistent prices for that device. The power of the UV 201-A is much greater than that of the WD 12, while the UV 199 is a sort of a "mid-way" tube which combines the economy of dry cell operation and still gives a very good output. The following notes give all necessary information concerning the various type vacuum tubes and should aid you materially in selecting your first tube from among these five tubes discussed here: Detecter WINNERS IN THE TRIBUNE CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT JINGLE CONTEST Special Mention Although the following Tribunites do not win prizes, I think that special mention should be made of them.

The more advanced radio experimenter may test his tubes after he has purchased them, with an outfit such as that shown in the illustration. The meter is a fine-reading Milliammeter (0-250 Milliamperes) and the high voltage battery is a one-hundred (100) volt radio "B" battery. The meter should indicate 8 Milliamperes when a perfectly good tube is under test. Unless you are thoroughly familiar with the many branches of radio technology, would not advise you to attempt the above test because of the fact that reversed polarity of the batteries, and many other mistakes the layman might make, would cause such a test to be a failure.

After Mutt and Jeff, an original game had been played for a long time, the girls drew their chairs seemingly in a circle around the family fireside to discuss the affairs. The meeting was opened with the prayer, code, and hymn. The roll was called and the dues collected. Then the discussion of the phrase, "Speak the Truth" was begun. Next week Margaret Newman (known at the camp as Bureau of Information) a young member of the club will bring us a paper on "Respect Elders." The meeting adjourned at 5 o'clock. We will always welcome any girl who wishes to spend an evening with us. Get busy, sit down and write a jingle now and send it in.
