REGISTER SPEELMAN ACCUSED OF FOMENTING PREJUDICE REPORT MADE TO GEN'L RUSSELL WALKER WINNERS WOMEN PROTEST PRESIDENT BY SAYS CONDITIONS RETURN FROM INSULT IN CROSS RECORDER FROE IN HAITI O. K. HOLY LAND TRIP WORD PUZZLE First in Local Circulation. REGISTER REPORT MADE TO G PRESIDENT BY S RECORDER FROE Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, called at the White House last Monday and made his report to the President as to the conduct of his office and the probable results of the legislation, which was recently enacted by the Congress with the President's approval. "This legislation," Mr. Froe said, "was designed to reduce the cost of the operation of the office and is in direct conformity with the President's policy of economy." He explained that "the bill requires chattels to be filed instead of recorded and will have the effect of saving the labor of copying probably 25,000 chattel deeds in the record books and encumbering the records." He stated that "as we are about a year behind now, most of these chattels have already been released before recording and it is a futile thing to record them now, paying money out for something of no value to anyone. "A new accounting system will be installed," he said, "and the deputy recorder will be placed in charge of that." He stated, however, that no one is under immediate consideration for appointment as deputy recorder. It is reported that former Senator L. Heisler Ball of Delaware, who was defeated in the primaries by Senator T. Coleman du Pont, is urging the appointment of Jefferson S. Coage of Delaware. "By this time next year," he predicted, "when we get these deeds already filed recorded, a person will be able to get his deed in a reasonable time, and the office of the Recorder of Deeds will be one of the most modern in the District of Columbia."

Deener, of 2137 Newport Place, Northwest, has field suit against her husband, William W. Deener, of 1124 S Street, Northwest, for a limited divorce. She charges cruelty. According to her bill of complaint he began to mistreat her shortly after their marriage in Winston-Salem, N.C., August 27, 1919. She alleges that in August, 1920, he slapped her in the presence of a minister. On another occasion in New York, she says, he asked her out of bed. In December, 1924, she claims, he called her vile names and accused her of being guilty of immorality and is at present circulating rumors of an immoral nature calculated to ruin her in her work as a minister of the gospel. The Washington Tribune R SPEELI GEN'L RUSSELL SAYS CONDITIONS IN HAITI O. K. The state of Haitian affairs is excellent according to the third annual report of John H. Russell, American High Commissioner at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to the Secretary of State, which has just been made public. General Russell reported that "the state of peace which the country has enjoyed since the American Intervention, and especially in the past three years, has continued undisturbed throughout the year, with the result that the Haitian people's feeling of security has been fortified. This is most favorable to the development of agriculture, for the native peasant, certain of peace and security, has been enticed back to the soil and the resumption of its cultivation. Encouraged by the feeling that they can now till their land without fear of damage to their property or harm to their persons, the peasants, during the year just closed, have placed under cultivation much additional arable land. To a traveller through the interior of Haiti the contentment and well-being of the peasants are obvious." The reorganization of the National Railroad of Haiti was one of the significant problems that confronted the Haitian Government at the beginning of 1924. Plans for the reorganization are now being executed. "The great economic problem of Haiti," General Russell reports, "Lies in the irrigation and cultivation of the valley and plain of the Artibonite River." The Haitian Government, he says has appropriated $65,000 for the work. "The commerce of Haiti during the year has been particularly satisfactory," General Russell said in his report. "As usual the bulk of coffee, which is Haiti's most important product and which, in the period now reported, amounted to about 66 per cent of the total exports of the country, was shipped to France. On the other hand, about 80 per cent of the total imports came from the United States, with cotton goods and wheat flour predominating." Dr. George C. Payne, representing the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, is making a medical survey of the country, and Haiti is to be congratulated upon having the Rockefeller Foundation extend its assistance to the Haitian people says General Russell. "The United States Forces stationed in Haiti during the year have consisted of the First Brigade, United States Marines, and a mine sweeper of 950 tons displacement. The Marines have been concentrated at Port-au-Prince and Cape Haitian with a training camp at Pont Beudet in the Cul-de-Sac Plain. "Martial law has been exercised only upon rare occasions and then only in the trials of a few Haitians for the theft of United States Government property and, in one instance, for assault of a sentinel. All of those tried were from the lowest class. "Upon their arrival in Haiti all of the enlisted men are carefully instructed to exercise the greatest tack in maintaining friendly relatins with the Haitians. As a result an extremely small number of conflicts was recorded during the year." Imports and Exports During the past fiscal year, the report stated, imports and exports reached the sums of $14,696,128 and $14,176,322, respectively, which "indicate a decided improvement." During the fiscal year 1923-1924 the public debt of Haiti was decreased by $351,400, and the report said that "during the coming year it is expected that a larger sum can be devoted to debt reduction." On September 30, 1924, the public debt amounted N. A. A. C. P ors or Pay at Offi WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 New York City—Fresh with new experiences, enthusiastic with their increased knowledge and possessing priceless old world souvenirs, Revs. M. J. Key,, K. H. Burress, S. S. Jones and J. O. Haithcox winners in the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co.'s, Grand Trip to the Holy Land contest returned on the steamer Baltic of the White Star Line from Liverpool, England. These men sailed from this city January 7th on the "Paris" and have completed a tour that for education and recreation is hard to surpass. 10,000 miles were travelled, 12 different cities in 6 countries on 3 continents were visited. Places too numerous to mention were shown them, scenes were revealed before them in cinematic rapidity. Their trip was quite successful, no important difficulties marred their journey. Curios to the people of the countries they visited, they moved about seeing the sights, taking notes and pictures thus increasing their knowledge and the wealth of the race. All were loud in their praise of the hospitality and comforts shown them through arrangement of the Walker Company and for the enjoyment and further education afforded by the trips. And so travelling in manner befitting their position as race leaders these men saw London, Paris, Cairo, Jerusalem, etc., as guests of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. and its President. Voicing their impressions France with its whole hearted democracy, the magnificence of Italy, the charm of Egypt and the Bible lore of Palestine were spoken of in no small way by each member of the party. PROF. HART SAYS MARCUS GARVEY ILLEGALLY HELD "Marcus Garvey has been wrongly incarcerated and with proper legal procedure, could be released from prison within a fortnight" declared Atty. W. H. H. Hart, noted lawyer and founder of Howard University School of Law, at a meeting held at Pythian Building last Sunday afternoon. Attorney Hart made a forceful speech in behalf of the Provisional President of Africa and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Other speakers were Atty. Perri W. Frisby, Mr. A. P. Prioleau and Mr. S. S. Morton. Musical numbers were rendered by members of the organization. MARTHA CHAPTER TO ENTERTAIN The Martha Chapter, No. 4, O. E. S will entertain at the A. F. and A. M Temple, Rooms 2 and 3, 708 O Street Northwest, on March 18th. Good music and refreshments are promised. t o $24,209,700.24 Customs and internal revenue receipts have been increasing steadily, according to the report, amounting during the last fiscal year to $5,990,180 and $559,174, respectively. A cash surplus of approximately $1,400,000 existed at the end of the last fiscal year, which, the report states, "indicates the sound financial condition that Haitian finances are gradually assuming under the American Intervention." However, the liberal element of the Haitians are still contending that the laws are administered partially. Several newspaper editors have been jailed and kept in prison. Civil law is far from being realized by the citizens. At the meeting of the Women's Club of the District of Columbia last week, the women severely criticised nasty and insulting remarks regarding Negroes. The particular incident that brought the matter to the attention of the club was the publishing in the Evening Star on February 24, a cross-word puzzle, one of the lines of which asked "what would be the name of a child whose parents were a Negro and a mulatto?" The answer that appeared the next day was "Zambo." The club members pointed out that the supposed purpose of the crossword puzzle is educational; to incite investigation. Mrs. Marian Butler, one of the members stated "no amount of investigation would bring any one sensible or foolish to any such answer or conclusion. It is a falsehood, dirty propaganda. Thousands of intelligent persons read and work out these puzzles and we do not believe that the public appreciates such trash." Continuing, shesaid: "We are surprised to find that The Star would lend itself to such a cheap proposition." A number of prominent out-of-town women who are in the city visiting were guests of the club. POCKETBOOKS STOLEN AT COLONNADE While attending the Inaugural Reception of the Eastern Star as the Lincoln Colonnade last Thursday, March 5th, Mrs. Anna Harris and Mrs. M. Wilson, had their purses stolen. They were later found in the men's toilet, but the contents of both had been taken. Mrs. Wilson had in her pocket book $57.50 worth of tickets, a little bank issued by the lodge with about $3.50 in it and other personal belongings, while Mrs. Harris also had some tickets and about $5.30 in change. The tickets were for the May Frolic which will be given May 4th by the Setting Mall Club of Warren Lodge No. 8 and the Progressive Club of Queen of Sheba Chapter No. 2. All tickets for this event have been called in and the order will issue another kind of ticket in order that these tickets cannot be used. C. E. HOWARD HEAUS HILLDALE ASS'N At an interesting meeting of the Hildale Citizens Association at Birney School, Nicholas Avenue, Southeast, officers for the coming year were elected. A full attendance was out and many problems of interest to the community were taken up and disposed of. The association will be headed during the coming year by Mr. C. E. Howard, one of the first citizens to settle in this section and is one of the largest holders of real estate.

The association plans to keep in touch with all problems affecting the community as well as those that affect the race in general. [Name] ATTORNEY L. MELENDEZ KING THE FEDERAL EXPECTS CHART PRES. KING IS THE FEDERAL FINANCE CORP. EXPECTS CHARTER THIS WEEK, PRES. KING IS WELL QUALIFIED PLAN MANY NEW IMPROVEMENTS AT AMUSEMENT PARK Suburban Gardens, one of the finest amusement parks owned by Negroes, will soon begin taking on its annual spring renovation. Pre-opening activities this year will exceed those of any previous season, according to the plans of Mr. F. Morris Murray who will have charge of its management. F. Morris Murray, who is manager of Murray Brothers Printing Co., has been busy for the past two weeks on plans for contemplated improvements that will add many comforts to the park. It is planned to construct a board walk around the entire mid-way of the park, thereby making the park thoroughly habitable during any kind of weather. An effort is also being made to get a macadam road constructed leading from the street car line right to the park gate. Many new concessions and possibly one or two new rides will greet the public when the park opens for the 1925 season. Mr. Murray visited Philadelphia this week inspecting park equipment and looking for new ideas. Good music will be assured all those who like dancing during the coming season. Two of the leading orchestras, White Brothers and Sam Taylor, have been booked solid for the season. The opening which will possibly be around the middle of May, will be the beginning of the fifth season for this popular amusement center. Mr. Murray says he will leave no stones unturned in making Suburban Gardens the amusement mecca of the District, Virginia and Maryland. Office: 920 U St., N.W. NTING PR ance Corporation FINANCE CORP. TER THIS WEEK, WELL QUALIFIED Plans for an early opening of offices of the Federal Finance and Loan Corporation were made this week by President L. Melendez King. As soon as the charter is received from Delaware, license to do business here will be obtained and the company will begin its activities. The charter is expected to reach here this week. The new company, which was organized here last week by four prominent local and out-of-town business men, will have a capital of $100,000, all of which stock will be held by the company. Temporary offices are now located at 313 John Marshall Place, Northwest. The president and general counsel of the Federal is one of the best known lawyer and business men in the Capital. Atty. L. Melendez King is a product of that school of successful men who came from humble origin and made their way in the world by hard work. This school has produced nearly every successful leader the race can boast of today. Born in Virginia in Amherst County, he had to face the world with little to inspire and push him on. Although his early life was spent in this undeveloped and backward country, he, through contact with the few traveling people who visited that section, learned of the things going on in the world beyond the hills. From early youth he tackled the problems of life with a determination that he would work hard and/or his opportunity to go forth to win fame and fortune. He took advantage of the schools such as were found in his county and later attended Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburgh. With nothing but ambition to spur him on, he left Petersburg with the determination to get a good law education. He studied at Howard University and the University of Michigan. After leaving school, he decided to settle in Washington despite the advice of many of his friends. He passed the bar and began practicing law here over twenty-seven years ago. By hard plugging and denying him- (Continued on page 6) Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents CLAIMS REGISTER SEEKS TO STIR UP STRIFE CLAIMS REGISTER SEEKS TO STIR UP STRIFE Prominent colored Republicans, who were here for the inauguration last week, were informed that Harley V. Speelman, the Register of the Treasury, is stirring up race prejudice in his efforts to continue in office and prevent his displacement by a colored man. Meetings Held According to current reports, meetings are held from time to time in the office of the Register of the Treasury, both within and after office hours, for the purpose of arousing white employees to exert their influence against the probable appointment of a colored Register. It is said that employees are being granted leave on official business in order that they may see members of Congress and appeal to them to persuade the President to continue Mr. Speelman in office and not accede to the wishes of certain members of Congress, who are supporting colored candidates for this office. Speelman Present It is charged that Mr. Speelman himself, Frank A. DeGroot, the assistant Register, and J. C. Dillard, the chief clerk, have been present at some of these meetings and have participated in the discussions. Leaks from these anti-Negro meetings indicate that there is a division among the white employees. All of them are not in accord with the proposition that a colored man should not be appointed to fill this office. Then there are two factions among those who are opposed to the appointment of a colored man. It is reported that klan element favors the continuance of Mr. Speelman as Register while the Masonic element are supporting Mr. De Groot to succeed Mr. Speelman. The office of Register of the Treasury will be one of the objectives of colored Republicans for suitable recognition by the Coolidge administration. There is no vacancy as yet. The Register serves at the pleasure of the President. It is believed, however, that if an agreement is reached upon a suitable person, the President will appoint him. The propaganda being used to defeat such an appointment is very much like that used to defeat the candidacy of the late Charles A. Cottrill in the early stages of the Harding administration when the offices of Senators and members of Congress were flooded with letters protesting against his appointment as Register. MRS. ALICE K. MITCHELL DIES AFTER ILLNESS Mrs. Alice K. Mitchell, wife of Dr. John W. Mitchell, of 817 T Street, Northwest, died Tuesday, March 10, after an illness of about four months.

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. The best quality is always the best in the long run, especially is this so in drugs and medicines where health and life are at stake. When you buy quality goods, satisfaction will be long remembered after prices have been forgotten. No matter what you buy you should buy the best.

ACTIVITY IN DULUTH STEEL INDUSTRY Duluth—It is reported that the steel industry in Duluth is beginning to show signs of an expansion. It is expected that some plants which have been inactive during the past year will resume operation this spring, thereby offering employment to many Negro iron and steel workers. This news has had a brightening effect in Duluth, in view of the fact that work has been slack during the past months among the Negroes of the Minnesota industrial districts. PULLMAN PORTER TIPS J.

S. and who has traveled extensively, covering practically every state in the Union and portions of the Dominion of Canada, has been for some time making a survey and research regarding the origin and achievements of the order among colored people and reports that there are in operation in the United States 36 Grand Chapters, with one in Ontario, Canada, and one in Liberia, Africa, all comprising about three thousand, four hundred subordinate chapters with more than a hundred thousand members. Many of these chapters and grand chapters are maintaining "Widows' and Orphans' Homes" and assisting in the erection and maintaining of Masonic temples, valued all the way from twelve thousand to seven hundred thousand dollars.

Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, in his proclamation just issued, reports that Manhattan Lodge of New York City, which was suspended following a riotous meeting during which the Grand Exalted Ruler was struck has been reinstated. The disturbance occurred in the lodge room on the occasion of their regular annual election on the night of December 11, 1924. The Grand Exalted Ruler was present and attempted to preside when the riotous scene occurred. In regard to the occurrence, the proclamation of the Grand Exalted Ruler has the following statement: "There was no rebellion, but a misinterpretation of the law which led them to believe the Grand Exalted Ruler to be acting arbitrarily, when in fact he was acting as he always has acted and will act, according to the written law and constitution which gives to him the power to function as the Grand Lodge in the recess of that body, and to act personally or through his deputies or organizers J.

The literary feature of the meeting will attract the attendance of many of its members. The object of this effort is mainly to "redeem the time" by giving the Chapter something to think about as well as many things to "talk" about. This literary feature of the meeting will be a "patron's one" and it remains to be seen if the men measure up to the standard set by the women at our last communication. The following program will be rendered: Presentation of the speaker of the evening by Past Eminent Grand Commander, Charles W. Hale of the Chapter; address, "Home," by Past Patron John W. Stockton of the Chapter; music, vocal solo, by Mrs. Martha Ellis of the Chapter; response to the address by Royah Patron, J. M. H. Young of Naomi Chapter No. 9. It is hoped that a full house will be present and help make the meeting an interesting and enjoyable one. MASONIC MUSINGS Preparations are in full swing for the big Masonic Exposition and Circus to be held at Convention Hall during the week of March 23 to 30. The carpenters are busy erecting the stands and booths for the concessions and the interior decorators are planning an artistic display that will dazzle and amaze the patrons from night to night. Entries are already coming in for the various contests, the popularity contests, the beauty contest, and the perfect baby contest. These three contests are open to all persons in the city, and applicants are requested to submit their entries to the President of the Council, Addison W. Chapman, 932 S Street, Northwest. The advance sale of tickets has been very encouraging, many persons preferring the season tickets, covering the entire six nights for 50 cents, which contain coupon numbers entitle the purchaser to a voice in the disposition of two automobiles. A high class jazz orchestra, known as the Mid-night Ramblers, Charles J. Elliott, director, has been engaged for the entire week to tickle the fancy of the dancing public. The Inaugural Ball held by the Order of the Eastern Star at the Lincoln Colonnade on March 5, was the most delightful affair held in this jurisdiction in recent years. The colorful evening gowns worn by the ladies of the Order, sprinkled here and there by the conventional dress suits of the male sex, presented a picture of color and beauty which was indeed pleasing to the eye. The ball itself, with all its splendor and magnificence, carried one's mind back to the good old days of former years, and has done much already to stimulate a feeling of good fellowship throughout the jurisdiction. A great deal of credit is due to the Grand Royal Matron, Mrs. George B. Henry, and her chairman and vice-chairman, Mrs. Bertha L. Anderson and Mrs. Maud Gilmore Jones, together with the Royal Matrons of the nine subordinate Chapters, for the splendid manner in which they conducted this brilliant and spectacular reception.

The reserve strength of the winners was the deciding factor in the victory. Cook of Dunbar and Henderson, Whiting and Darden of Armstrong led the scoring with three field goals each. Murmur Girls Fall Before Orioles The Baltimore Oriole Girls scored a decisive victory over their ancient rivals the Murmur Girls, formerly the Y.W.C.A. and Carlisle Girls, at the Casino, Tuesday night by the score 23-19. Smoother teamplay and superior condition were the deciding factors in the Orioles' victory. The visitors showed that they had been well-drilled in every department of play while the lack of action told on the locals. Miss Burnell was the leading lady on the court, amassing no less than 14 points. Misses Winston, Minor, Duffey and Spriggs contributed spectacular shots. Orioles(25) Murmurs(19) Thompson ..... R.F.

New York State Boxing Commission Rules The New York Boxing Commission will give Jack Dempsey fifteen days to answer the Commission's ultimatum that he meet Harry Wills before taking on any other fighter. Dempsey's manager, Jack Kearns is reported on his way East to patch up things with the Commission. Little credence is taken in the defy of the Commission. Other boxers are under suspension in New York State for failure to fight selected individuals. There would be a slim chance of the fight taking place in New York, anyway. It looks like another smooth time-killing plan. Miller Under Suspension "Tiger" Flowers will wake up one morning to learn that he will be able to fight in only one State and that will be Georgia. The New York Commission has handed the "Tiger" a rest all because his manager, Walk Miller, failed to appear before the Commission to answer certain mysterious charges. Millers' entire stable which also includes the promising Lawson, has been suspended. Flowers is already under suspension in Pennsylvania. He certainly needs a good rest, so it may be for the best. LINCOLN OMEGAS DEFEAT VA. SEMINARY OMEGAS (By Leon M. Braswell) The flashy Lightning Five of the Gamma Omega Chapter of the Va. Seminary was defeated by the Omega Big Five of the Beta Chapter of Lincoln University, 22 to 18. Whirlwind Johnson lead the losers attack while "Rip" Day flashed for Lincoln with 6 field goals.

The Howard University Girls' quintet will meet the W.Y.C.A. Five at the "Y" gym, 901 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, on March 20th. The preliminary game will start a 8 o'clock. This will be the first meet-between these teams, in three years. KANSAS ABOUT CLINCH SENIOR "Y" TITLE The Kansas A. C. of Howard University defeated their closest rival, the much heralded Senegals, "school boy wonders" in a bitterly contested game at the "Y" Friday night by the score, 30-28. The Senegals were strengthened by the use of Stuart, coach and Alco member and Smith , a Miner Normal player, but the Kansas aggregation were equal to the task and due to an early lead were never headed. The scoring attack of the boys from the Sunflower State was led by Spencer and the Hill Bros., but Howard's guarding and Stevens' floor work was no less effective. Kansas A.

A game in either Philadelphia or Washington would draw a record crowd. The opinion in certain circles here seems to be that both Howard and Lincoln are waiting on the other. Yet both of them have been ousted by the Association. Howard it is claimed, feels that Lincoln should start any negotiation relative to basketball or baseball games. The St. Cyprian Reserves want to take the Community A. C. on for another game. It is claimed that these teams now stand at one all. The Reserves will meet any foe who will communicate with W. Harris, 1236 Walter St., S.E., or Lincoln 7450-J. The St. Augustine and St. Cyprian Reserves will clash Monday night in the first game of a series for the Catholic championship. The manchester and St. Cyprian Reserves meet Wednesday in the first game of a series for the East Washington title. The Omega quintet of Nashville scored a win over Kappa on February 28 by the count, 17 to 14. Only Omega and Alpha remain in the running for the Nashville fraternity championship. The Murmur Girls need a good coach. The players have ability but teamplay and condition are lacking. Under Mr. E. P. Westmoreland for a couple of weeks the local girls will match anything in the country. The following Lincoln men represented the Omega fraternity in a game against the Va. Seminary Omega quintet: Crudup, Lancaster, Goodman, Morgan and Gratty while Jazz Byrd refereed. We wonder if any Howard players recall any of the above names. The real backbone of the Alco quintet is not supplied by the two forwards Turner and Berry, according to close students of the game, but in Trigg and Harris, the guards.

W. Baxter, sports editor of The all of them to determine how many Washingrotn Post in an interview with objected, he said. Letters Awarded To Panthers Again Hampton Tossers Defeat Alcoes N. W. Baxter, sports editor of The Washingotn. Post in an interview with a Tribune representative admitted last night that William Fauntroy and William Anderson were barred from the annual marathon, which was run last Tuesday under the auspices of the Post, on account of their color. "It resolved itself," he said, "into a question of whether we would have a run for colored runners or a run for white runners." He stated that a majority of the entrants were from Virginia and Maryland and they were unwilling to compete with colored boys. There were 150 entrants, but he did not poll By P. Bernard Young, Jr. Hampton, Va., March—Hampton's basketball season officially closed with the awarding of the varsity "H's" to seven members of this season's Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship team and the re-election of Chester R. Jones of New Rochelle, N.Y., as captain-elect for next year. Hampton won the title by winning ten straight games in the Association, defeating each member at least once. Hampton's one defeat of the season came in an extra period with Morehouse College—the first overtime basketball contest ever lost by the "Seasiders." Seven Win Letters Those atheltes upon whom the honor of wearing the varsity insignia was bestowed are: Capt. Chester R. Jones, guard, New Rochelle, N.Y.; William H. Lambright, Jr., Kansas City, Kas. M. Alfred Nichols, Jr., forward, New York City; Junius T. Langston, guard, Whaleyville, Va.; Eugene E. Brown, forward, Key West, Fla.; James L. Thatcher, guard, Kansas City, Kas.; and M. Franklin Thorne, center, Washington, D. C. Several other players made a very creditable showing during the season, but failed to play in enough games to receive a letter. They include the following; Edward Hargrove, New York City, whose valuable services were lost during the last five games; Clarence Le Alexander; Planifield, N. J., who starred in the Morehouse game; Roland L. Wiggins, Philadelphia, Pa., who was handicapped in mid-season by a case of mumps; and Rudolph B. Renfrow, Grinnell, Ia., substitute center. Suitable additional recognition as champions will be given the players. This will probably be in the form of hurler, trimmed Nimp Winters and Ping Gardner, 3 to 1, while Phil Cookell bowed to Joe Williams, 2 to 1. In the first game, faulty support caused Nimp to get off bad, and he was yanked in the first inning in favor of another Washington product, Ping Gardner who went great from then on. Finley, the shortstop who finished last season with the Potomacs, gave a great exhibition of fielding in both games. The Potomac's manager may regret that he has been let out. Crafty Phil Cockrell and Berlyn White have proved that they have few peers when it comes to utility work. The former has done everything but catch along with his managerial responsibilities, while the latter has done everything but pitch. Weak hitting is responsible for most of the Breakers' defeats. The club has gotten excellent pitching from Lee, Winters, Gardner, all Washington boys, and Flourney. Then again, the morale of the club was jolted through the early injury to Judy Johnson and the fact that several of Cockrell's best players, including Lewis and Eggleton, left for the Northern climate. HENRY TO REMAIN WITH LINCOLN LEAGUE Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, Penn., who supported the Democratic candidates in the last election, will continue as a member of the executive committee of the Lincoln League of America, a strictly Republican organization it was announced here. Officers of the legae stated that Mr. Henry had assured them that he had returned to the Republican party and has no intention of deserting again. A group of local citizens will call on President Coolidge to determine if the President knew when he was invited to witness the finish of the race that colored runners had been barred. It is not believed that President Coolidge was aware of the discrimination. The President has so far failed to take part in anything that bore the earmarks of discrimination. The calling off of the official inaugural ball is cited as one instance. The President further proved his sincerity by refusing to attend the substituted charity inaugural ball. The Alcoes tasted their second defeat within a week at the hands of the Philadelphia Panthers, losing a hard-fought game in Philadelphia Friday night by the score, 31-23. The District champions made the trip by automobile and arrived but an hour before the game. The Panthers amassed an early lead which the Alcoes were never able to catch. A big crowd viewed the game. Baseball In Florida (By "Speed" Madden) Palm Beach, Fla., March 10—The Colored teams rested today while the New York Giants and Washington Nationals entertained the local fans. The Breakers Hotel nine is unable to check its losing streak. Two close games have been lost since the string of shut-outs that the Ponciana handed out. Britt, the Black Sox engraved gold basketballs. Coaches Praise Team Coach Charles H. Williams, in reviewing the season, commended the playing of the team as a whole. He lauded the high scholarship average of the members of the basketball squad and commented on the lesson gotten from the Morehouse defeat. "I am really pleased with the basketball team," he said. "There was a fighting spirit shown which make champions." Gideon E. Smith, assistant coach, spoke along the same lines. He men-tioned in particular the many expressions he has heard praising the sports-manship of Hampotn athletes. The nearest Hampton ever came to losing an overtie game before her recent defeat was in a contest with Howard University some years ago. It took three extra periods to decide that the "Seasiders" were the winners. Championship Record Most of the players plan to return next year. Two, however, will be lost. McNichols plans to enter New York University. Ex-captain Langston has played out his four years. Next year a strong bid for championship honors is already being planned by Hampton. Games with Wilberforce, Morehouse at Atlanta, and others teams, including every C. I. A. A. member, will be arranged. This is the seventh collegiate championship won by Hampton since 1912. One national title has also been won by the "Seasiders." Morehouse Claims (By A. W. Dent) Morehouse closes its basketball season after having played nineteen games. During the season every prominent college team in the East, West and South was met. In the South there was no close rival as every game was won by a large score; and in the East every opponent was defeated, thereby leaving no doubt who were Collegiate champions in these sections. No team in the South has defeated Coach's Harvey machine in eight years, and since taking on eastern College teams five years ago, not a single defeat has been registered against the Tiger in that section. Two defeats were handed the Tiger in the West. Two games were lost to Wilberforce and one to W. Va. However, W. Va. defeated Wilberforce, Howard defeated W. Va., and Morehouse defeated Howard. Morehouse bids for National Collegiate Championship, based on the fact that more games were played and won NOT SIGNED BY BLACK SOX AS REPORTED WASHINGTON Former manager of the Potomacs who has denied that he is under contract to the Black Sox as reported. Taylor has been dickering with the Baltimore club but no terms have been reached. Fraternities Zeta Phi Beta Entertains Alpha Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority entertained a number of friends in honor of their esteemed soror, Miss Cleo Dickerson, instructor in the Conservatory of Music, Howard University. Howard House with its spacious rooms proved an admirable place for the affair. Excellent music and ample refreshments afforded a pleasant evening for each guests. At twelve o'clock, after Home Sweet Home had been played, the guests assured Miss Dickerson and her sorors that they had enjoyed the affair. Among those present were: Miss Irny Craig, Mrs. Craig, Mrs. Phyllis Terrell Goins, Miss Margaret Smith, Miss Lulu V. Childers, Mr. Marcellus Goff, Mr. Arthur Brady, and Mr. Cliff Smith. The Epsilon Sigma Iota Sorority of Howard University School of Law held an "At Home" Saturday evening, March 7th, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the residence of Mrs. A. Roberta Hooper, 1927 15th Street, Northwest. The purple and white color scheme of the Sorority was artistically-carried out in streamers, potted hyacinths and table center-piece of pansies. Palms, also added splendor to the occasion. During the course of the evening, numbers of women and men socially and intellectually prominent, called and paid their respects. Conspicuous among the callers were Professors Wm. L. and Charles H. Houston of the School of Law, Dean Cook of the University, Mrs. Carolie Cook, Member of the Bard of Education, Bishop Waugh, Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Olden, Atty J. A. Lankford and Mr. Arthur Froe, Recorder of Deeds. Representatives from the allied sororities and fraternities were noted among the guests. The receiving line included: Isadore A. Letcher, Chief Justice; L. Marian Fleming Poe, Assistant Justice; Alice M. Cooper, Clerk; Myrtle B. Robinson, Marshall; Lillian S. Malone, A. Roberta Hooper, Pearl B. Clifford, Mary B. Marshall and Elta B. Lisemby. Music was furnished by Mrs. Marian Wilson. The spice of the evening was the witty piano solos of Mrs. Carolyn Washington of Virginia. Mr. Overman, also contributed to the entertainment with his superb renditions of "Alone" and "June Night." Refreshments were served to all guests. This Sorority though young and limited in membership, was the donor of a set of books to the library of Howard University Law School last June and are now formulating plans whereby to create a scholarship fund. from representative college teams. The Morehouse quintet lost only 4 out of 19 games and scored 648 points to opponents' 416.

Its news department is fearless, impassionate and drastically independent. MAKE YOUR BUSINESS A PROFESSION Negro business men have the common failing of overlooking the obvious—the extreme case of missing the obvious opportunities which lie under their noses. Furthermore, they possess a serious, insidious, general inability to look ahead. A great majority of instances of reverses may be traced to the lack of foresight which results from simple study of clear tendencies. There were many Negro business failures in 1924. A decided increase over those of 1923, with greater liabilities. The rate of business failure is twice what it was before the war. Poor business judgment or the lack of adequate capital (another sort of poor judgment) are the prime causes. Yet incompetence and poor judgment were as prevalent before the war as now. The increase in failures must be broadly accounted for by the increasing complexity of business. In every industry there is seen this complexity. And because of incompetence and poor judgment, the elementary and perhaps exceptional stupidities which may be blamed on the neglect of review, and the lack of foresight, large, fairly intelligently directed industries have been devoured by waste. It is distressing to know that, because of under or over-diversification, Negro business men permit a growing waste of their expenditures every year. There must be an increase in individual capability. Race business executives are depending less and less upon their own knowledge, and becoming leaners rather than leaders. They need to awaken, for the doom of the self-made man is foreshadowed. Business, following the course of law and medicine, is becoming a profession, with institutions of higher learning which will create professionally trained executives. The idea, "from train boy to president," though it still persists is steadily being replaced by formal methods of commercial education. The next generation of business men will be inspired with professional ideals and guided by professional training. Already there is beginning to take concrete form a branch of higher business education, the research foundation, offering postgraduate training, and practice, and bringing them to bear upon leadership in industry. This new education is built upon the laboratory method and the case system. In the laboratory, nature is studied—materials and energy. In the case system, the primary concern is man and the organization of his knowledge. WHAT IS THE BASIS OF COMMEMORATION? Many guffaws and hallelujahs are heard in commemoration of Colonel Charles Young. As the man in the street would say, "We don't know what's its all about." We would like to know what is the basis of commemoration? We can find no contributions made by the late Colonel; nothing constructive worthy of remembrance. Not even a pamphlet did he leave us telling of his experiences and the conditions of Liberia during his stay there on special duty. He entered the Military Academy, West Point, New York, because of certain "pull" and started his military career as second-lieutenant with the influence of that rank. He advanced to the post of colonelcy in conformity to the laws of consequences; that is, automatically. He wore no medals as marks of distinction. Just why a career so void of illumination, a man so passive in action, should be pointed out for remembrance we are unable to see. It cannot be for the want of another, for there is Harriet Tubman, a fugitive slave, who risked her life many times leading more than three hundred fugitive slaves, by way of the "Under Ground Railroad," into a land of freedom. So eventful was her career that people of Auburn and vicinity placed a bronze tablet of her in the Cayuga County Court House, Auburn, New York, in memory of her worthy efforts. Then there was Benjamin Banneker, first American to construct a clock which told the time and struck the hour; also Crispus Attucks, first martyr in the Boston massacre. There are several others, whom we could mention, whose careers were far more illustrious than the late Colonel Young's. These were persons whose contributions have some weight in the cause of humanity and freedom, or some commercial value and racial distinction. Yet little is known or heard of them. We are ever ready to recognize merit and to put it upon the highest pinnacle; but, in the case of Colonel Young, we find no cause for commemoration. We would much rather sing praise to Benjamin O. Davis, a Washingtonian, who worked his way up from a "buck private in the rear rank" to lieutenant-colonelcy. Federal Finance Corp. Expects Charter (Continued from page 1) self, he began to accumulate little by little. Today he is recognized as one of the leading attorneys here and is respected by all members of the bar. So brilliant was his rise that he attracted the attention of all the judges and he was appointed an Examiner in Chancery by the Supreme Court of the District in 1911. He was the founder and first dean of the John M. Langston School of Law, which is now a part of Frelinghuysen University. Attorney King devotes most of his time now to his civil practice which is very large. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Prudential --- PAGE SIX Bank, and holder of many valuable pieces of real estate, including the King Apartment at 1907 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, where he lives and is part owner of the building where his offices are located at 313 John Marshall Place, Northwest. When asked by a Tribune reporter what did he consider the keystone of his success in life, Attorney King said "the practice of the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you." He is well thought of by all classes of citizens. This week he was approached by a group of citizens and asked to become a candidate for a judgeship in the Municipal Court. This he declined to do, stating that as long as Judge Terrell was a holder of that office, he would never allow himself to be put up as opposition to such a distinguished and successful Juror. Attorney King is married, his wife, a Washington girl, was formerly Miss Anna E. Johnson. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 Something of Interest By I. L. PARKER General Dawe's Rebuke. "If we all rightly estimate what we call good and evil, we shall find it lies much in comparison." Vice-President Dawes was not the first to rebuke the Senate for its filibustering. Garret A. Hobart, upon his inauguration as Vice-President in 1897, sharply criticized the parliamentary obstructors and promised to do his best in applying the rules of the Senate so as to produce "prompt and positive legislation"; but he did not urge the Senate to amend the rules nor any particular rule. It would have been use "If we all rightly estimate what we call good and evil, we shall find it lies much in comparison." Vice-President Dawes was not the first to rebuke the Senate for its filibustering. Garret A. Hobart, upon his inauguration as Vice-President in 1897, sharply criticized the parliamentary obstructors and promised to do his best in applying the rules of the Senate so as to produce "prompt and positive legislation"; but he did not urge the Senate to amend the rules nor any particular rule. It would have been useless to do so, for there was no party majority in the Senate of 1897-99 when it assembled. Even though Republicans were allowed to organize the body, they were not able to assume more than a very precarious control until two vacancies had been filled and certain Free Silver and Populist Senators had decided to co-operate with them. Hobart preferred, therefore, to condemn the whole theory and practice of obstruction and to promise or rather to hint that he would do what he could to smash it. to smash it. "I am called upon," said Mr. Hittions while not, perhaps, your chitiness. "It will be my constant effort to reasonable expedition of the business permitted to express the belief that the country.

It should now, as it did the Vice-President's frankness a "I am called upon," said Mr. Hobert, "to conduct your deliberations while not, perhaps, your choice in point of either merit or fitness. "It will be my constant effort to aid you, so far as I may, in all reasonable expedition of the business of the Senate and I may be permitted to express the belief that such expedition is the hope of the country. All the interests of good government and the advancement toward a higher and better condition of things call for prompt and positive legislation at your hands. To obstruct the course of wise and prudent legislative action after the fullest and freest discussion, is neither consistent with true senatorial courtesy, conducive to the welfare of the people, nor in compliance with their just expectations. "While assisting in the settlement of the grave questions which devolve upon the Senate of the United Sates, it will be my endeavor to so guide its deliberations that its wisdom may be made fruitful in works, while at the same time exercising such fairness and impartiality within the rules of the Senate as shall deserve, at least, your good opinion for the sincerity of my efforts." Several Senators claim that General Dawes's address will destroy his influence in the Senate. Yet, we find, Hobart's outspokenness had no such effect. He took a more active part in current politics than perhaps any other Vice-President since the Civil War; was the trusted adviser of President McKinley and became extremely popular with the Senators of all the parties. The Senate knew then, as it knows now, that criticism of its filibustering practices was and is grounded in truth and common sense. It should now, as it did then, quickly decide not to hold the Vice-President's frankness against him. NATHANIEL GUY WINS IMPORTANT DECISION Nathaniel Guy, the well known local actor and director won a novel decision in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals this week.

The attorney for Mr. Walls contended at the trial in the Supreme Court that only the owners of the title to the property and not Mr. Guy could recover damages for an injury to the property. The plea was overruled and a jury found in Mr. Guy's favor for $1500. The case was carried to the Court of Appeals where a decision was rendered sustaining the lower court. B. L.

NEVAL THOMAS PROTESTS THE SHOWING OF "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" HERE Neval H. Thomas, president of the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has lodged a vigorous protest with President Coolidge, the District Commissioners, and the license bureau against "The Birth of a Nation" which is playing here at the Wardman Park Theatre. It is extensively advertised in all of the white press with large pictures of the Ku Klux in regalia on one of their sinister missions. Mr. Thomas Frankly states that he does not even hope for favorable action against such propaganda, as this is a southern community, and southern men are vigorously aggressive in putting over their propaganda on northerners. He called attention to the historical falsehoods that fill the play, its reflection upon the noblest spirits of the nation's history, both white and black, and the sound political policy of granting the Negro the ballot in Reconstruction as the only means of self defense from the revengeful slave-master. Mr. Thomas further points out that the purpose of the production is to further poison American public opinion against the Negro whose extraordinary leaps upward in every phase of our national life has forced his enemies to resort to additional means of repression. Too many people are guests at their own homes. Why wonder at the high cost of living? A common cur often starts a battle between bull dogs and then sneaks away himself, unharmed.

Address— Adams, Director ervatory of Musie Street, N. W. Woman Held for Man's Death At an inquest held last Wednesday, a coroner's jury ordered Virginia May Burke, of 626 Thirteenth Street, Northeast, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Joseph Austin Young, who lived at 1066 Bladensburg Road, Northeast. Young was shot on the evening of February 27 at his home. He was removed to Casualty hospital where complications set in, and he died last Monday night. The jury found that he came to his death as the result of a gun shot wound in the lung caused by the firing of a gun held in the hands of Mrs. Burke. It appears that there had been a clandestine love affair at some time between Mrs. Burke and Young. Mrs. Burke, a youthful bride, has been married only since shortly before Christmas. She is but 19 years of age. Her aunt, Mrs. Hattie Dorsey, of 641½ Callen Street, Northeast, in her testimony at the inquest, hinted that there had been such an affair between the dead man and her niece. She testified that she first saw the deceased about two years ago when he called to see Virginia. She said she inquired of him whether or not he was single, and he told her that he was, but it was later discovered that he was a married man. Since then, she testified, she had gone to him and pleaded with him to leave Virginia alone. He was forever around their house, she said, getting drunk, and doing everything he could to "vamp" Virginia. According to the statement made to the police by Mrs. Burke, Young came to the house where she was living at 626 Thirteenth Street, Northeast, about 5:30 on the evening of February 27 and threatened her. An argument followed, she said, and he drew a pistol, which she took from him. An hour later, she told the police, she went to 1066 Bladensburg Road where Young lived, opened the door without knocking, having the pistol in her waist, and found him standing by the stove facing the door. "I then shot him, saying you threatened me, and now I am going to kill you," she stated, "and he said, 'Oh, my God, I'm shot.' I then put the pistol back in my waist and went to my home, 623 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, at which place I was arrested." She did not make any statement at the inquest. She was represented by Attorney L. A. Bailey. Mme.

At. the age of sixteen, he gtaduated:from highschool. at Ripley, Ohio: His alert mind. commended it- |self to the school authorities of his town so-faverably, that he found him- self -teaebing in. the» public schools of Ripley. He was.appointed to: West Point. in. 1834; and. while there =a ‘dured many things- not mentioned in ‘the.curriculum. . There were no a POEs cruelty and insult which were. not heaped upon~his head jin, the at. | tempt-of his fellow. students: to drive. him from the institution; “He-faced insult-as he faced his daily, bread and a the same imperturable balance and determination. He:not-only faced. death in war, butcwhat is more-diffi- cult, he faced it daily in peace.” One of his instructors; realizing the effects -of ‘the: ostraciam-and enforced solitude, advised him to request a horse and promised that he would see. that-it was given him. Young there- after spent many: lonely: hours. in the. saddle, and became an expert horse= man, This is said to have had much weight in determining his. assign- ment to the cavalry: Young, graduated. as -an. additional Second Lieutenant in 1889, He serv- ed on frontier duty, and in 1894 was: appointed Military Instructor at Wil- verforee, where because of his inti- mate knowledge of French, German and mathematics, he was requested to: teach’ these. subjects in addition, to his regular duties. Because. of his quickness in coming to the aid of needy students; it was said. of him literally, “He clothed the naked and fed the: hungered.” During: the Spanish-American: War, Young. was.appointed a Major of the {9th Ohio Infantry. After hositilities ceased, heoreverted . to. his, regular rank, and was assigned to the Philip- pines, where. he commanded, a troop it Samary Blanca, Aurora, Daraga, ‘Toboea; Rosans, and San Joaquin. He was returned to the States in 1902; commanded a troop at San Francisco; then became Acting Superintendent of Sequoia and Grant National Parks, in the administration of which he re- seived formal praise-and approval. He was-appointed Military Attache to Haiti in May, 1904. While. there \he-made. an, accurate map of the is- land-whieh the Marines are reported |to have used on their recent expedi- tion, He also collected material for his drama, “Toussaint L’Ouverture” and forvan. exhaustive: monogram in which he reyealed the causes of the guibreaks in Haiti and suggested what he thought effective means, for putting an end to them. After a tour of duty on the General’ Staff in Washington, Young was again sent to the Philippines. ' In 1912, Young attained the rank of Major in the Regular Army and while in Washington, D, C., at. that! time became a member of the Omega Psi Phi: Fraternity. | He was next appointed: Military Attache to Liberia: Of his services to that country, the Adjutant General said, “It has been only with the most careful advisory supervision of Ma- jor Young that. peace and order: has. been nmaintained:” In 1915, he was awarded the Spin- gam Medal. From February. 1916, to March 1917, Young was with the Punitive Expedition in Mexico> While there he realized that‘ America. would, soon enter the European Confliet— in order that his race might serve not only as followers but as leaders "in this conflict, Young established a ‘school for. the instruction of the en- ste sain fab 18 reealionndete the: face-of the-opposition. of his superior officer. | While he yet dreamed of a ‘ips _adier Generalshipy and of leading Ne- 'gro troops in France, suddenly he was retired for physical disability: Like the soldier that. he was, Young sa- luted the President of the retiring. board, and went home; but the active aggressive spirit of this patriot would not be quieted. While the proceed- ings of the retiring: board. were be- ing reviewed, he, to prove-his fitness | for active. service, flung, himself into the saddle, and once. more: the soldier. and his horse rode alone—from Xenia, Ohio to Washington, he came. “Could. a sick man_stand that ride?” was the question his actions raised.

He was a brilliant scholar-and linguist. He was author of the drama “Toussaint L'Quverture” of “Military Morale of Raees” and of one hundred and three poems entitled “Song Wings.” His artistic ability was not con- fined to literary attainment for he is eredited with the following musi- cal compositions: “The ‘Beautitudes,” eight pieces, an offertory (resetting of old hymns) and eight serenades. He also performed on many musical instruments ‘with remarkable ability. A stern commander on the field, he was ® true. companion after the toil jof the day. He led his men, not be- cause of his shoulder straps, but be- cause he was a born leader of men, men. instinetively followed him. Ev- ery soldier who has ever served under him loved “Uncle Charley” as he was affectionately known among his men. He demonstrated that neither per- secution, suffering - or humiliation need stifle manly courage, or deter one from striving for one ideal; he ex- -erfiplified the highest type of Christ- iam manhood in his soldierly self re- ‘straint; he was truly the embodiment of the race's highest culture and ‘ideals.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and her eyes were unlightly nimbled on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. 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.
