Only 3 Beds in House Where 16 Lived Strike Closes Howard Theatre First in Local Circulation. Vol. 4, No. 44 MASO Only 3 Strike HEALTH OFFICER BURNS HOUSE ON ACCOUNT OF FILTH The District health department last Tuesday destroyed by fire a two-family house in Hickey lane between the Eastern Branch and Bladensburg Road, in which a case of smallpox was found last Saturday. The house was destroyed because Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, declared that it was impossible to fumigate it successfully. He also stated that it was unfit for human habitation. The house, a five-room structure, house dixteen persons, according to Dr. Fowler. Fourteen of them are children ranging in age from 9 months to 18 years. Their mothers are dead. Dr. Fowler stated that the house was filthy beyond the imagination. While there were sixteen people living in the house, there were only three beds in the whole house. Eph DeVoe, the smallpox victim, was discovered last Saturday when an ambulance was called to take him to the hospital. He was thought to be suffering from eysirpelas. The ambulance driver discovered the true naf of the disease. DeVoe was removed to the Smallpox Hospital. The other fifteen occupants of the house were taken to the District quarantine station. The fourteen children, whose home was burned to the ground, will be homeless when they are released from the quarantine station where they will be held for sixteen days. "I hope that some of the good people of Washington will come to their rescue," said Dr. Fowler in commenting on their homeless condition. SUES HUSBAND FOR MAINTENANCE Mrs. Annie Wilson, of 2131 Tenth Street, Northwest, has filed suit for maintenance against her husband, Charles G. Wilson, a $1,600 a year clerk in the mail division of the city post office. She alleges that about three years ago on account of her husband's failure to contribute to her and children, she made complaint to the district attorney's office and as a result he agreed to pay her $60 a month for such support through the Probation Officer. She says that the defendant never faithfully kept his agreement and charges that he has been running with other women and buying jewelry for one of them, particularly a bracelet and a watch. In December, 1924, she says, he left home permanently and through a lawyer notified her that he would pay her only $45 a month, but he made no payment in keeping with this promise until February 15, last, when he paid her $35. She charges that in May, 1924, he choked her and knocked her to the floor and was endeavoring to assault her with a razor, which he had put in his pocket, when he was interfered with by the children and a friend of his who happened to visit the house during the time of the assault. She states that they were married in the District of Columbia on February 7, 1907, by Bishop Johnson. There are five children, she says, the oldest being a girl of 17 years and the youngest a boy of 9 years. Masonic Expo Benefit of New M The Washington Tribune Published Weekly Beds in Closes REV. DEENER DEN CHARGES OF M IN HOLMES AND FREEMAN BACK IN D. C. JAIL Harry W. Freeman and James T. Holmes, who were convicted of second degree murder in connection with the killing of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger and given life time sentences, are back in the District jail. They were brought back here last Friday from the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, where they were taken with 32 other convicts in February. Attorney James A. O'Shea, who is representing Holmes, said that the two men should never have been removed from this jurisdiction while an appeal is pending. Both Holmes and Freeman are seeking new trials. FEDERAL LOAN BOASTS OF RACE'S BEST ACCOUNTANT The Federal Finance and Loan Corporation which was organized here March 5th by a group of local and out-of-town business men, received its charter this week from Dover, Delaware. Immediately upon receipt of the charter, application was made for license. As soon as this license is granted, the corporation will open for business. Temporary offices are maintained at 313 John Marshall Place, Northwest. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. According to the inquiries received already, the company will open with a large list of applicants for Joans of various kinds. The service to be rendered by this corporatoin will not be excelled by any other firm in this city. A unique feature of the Federal is that one of its officers is a Certified Public Accountant, thereby assuring the public of the very best record of account keeping. This officer is Mr. Charlie E. Mitchell, grandson of the late Frederick Douglass. Charlie E. Mitchell was reared from early youth by his noted grandfather (Continued on page 6) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 Rev. William W. Deener, well known evangelistic preacher, through his attorney, Chas. E. Robinson, denies in his answer, the allegations of his wife, Mrs. Mittie M. Deener, who is suing him for divorce. Both people are well known in religious circles as they appeared together in conducting a number of revival services. Rev. Deener denies that he ever mistreated his wife in any manner whatsoever. He states the fact to be that Mrs. Deener, who like himself, is an evangelist, left him to conduct a meeting as she had formerly done many times before and that when the meeting had been concluded, she without cause refused to return to him. He further denies also that Mrs. Deener helped educate him, but to the contrary states, that his education had been completed and that he had begun his Ministerial work long before he became acquainted with his wife. Continuing he says, that he is well known throughout the state of North Carolina and that it was while working in North Carolina that he met his wife, whom he made acquainted with the best people of the state and that it was through his efforts that she was able to make any headway in evangelistic work, but that not-withstanding all of this, Mrs. Deener now has put down her evangelistic work and occupies her time in attempting to bring her husband into disrepute in the public eye; and to prohibit him from fulfilling his ministerial engagements. The suit is expected to come up for an early trial. SAYS HUSBAND DESERTED HER ON WEDDING DAY Alleging that her spouse deserted her on the day of their marriage, Mrs. Cleo. A. Henderson, of 1729 Ninth Street, Northwest, has filed suit for maintenance in the District Supreme Court against her husband, Benjamin F. Henderson. In her bill of complaint, she says that they were married on December 6, 1924, by the Rev. George S. French in Alexandria, Va. She charges that on the same day her deserted her, promising to pay to her $2 a month for her support in instalments of $10 each on the first and fifteenth of each month. She claims she has received nothing from him since he paid the instalment of $10 due on February 15, last. Mrs. Henderson alleges that she is in a delicate state and expects to be confined within two months and is therefore unable to work and earn a livelihood. She brings the suit through Attorney J. Franklin Wilson. The medical class '28 gave a dance at Jenifer's Friday evening, Feb. 27th. A large number of members of the class and friends were present and all present had a very delightful time. Proposed Masonic Temple Now In Jeopardy TROUBLE WITH UNION MEN CAUSES SHOW TO QUIT, LEAVING HOWARD DARK STUDENT NOT TO BE SUSPENDED Byron Hoxter, a freshman student in the Pharmaceutical College of Howard University, will not have to withdraw from school on account of his secret marriage to Miss Edna Purifoy, of Chicago, Illinois, April 10, 1924, at Waukegan, Illinois. College students at Howrad University who marry while in school are required to withdraw for a perior of one year. This rule however, does not apply to students in the School of Medicine, which includes the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges. STANLEY RAISES RACE QUESTION AT BIG DEBATE Former Senator A. Owsley Stanley, of Kentucky, made a frenzied appeal to race prejudice and advocated lynch law in an attempt to win over the audience of 8,000 persons which crowded the Washington auditorium to hear the debate between him and Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer of Chicago, on "Capital Punishment." In the last five minutes of his speech of rebuttal, the former Senator pictured a white woman with hair disheveled, escaping from a black brute who had attempted to violate her chastity. He said he believed in capturing him, taking him to the scene of his crime and killing him on the spot. He appealed to the audience against the abolition of capital punishment on the ground of what "we of the South" would have to face if it were abolished. A. Owsley Stanley was until March 4th, Senior Senator from Kentucky. In the Senate he was always ready to speak discreditably of the Negro. His views have always been based on that of the old South. However, as Governor of Kentucky, he did prevent a lynching even after the mob had been formed. As a result of a strike of the musicians and stage crew, the Howard Theatre is dark this week. "Oil Scandals," a musical comedy which was advertised to play a second week's engagement at this playhouse, removed its scenery Sunday night and left Monday for Baltimore. Dispute About Pay The trouble, which culminated in a road call being issued ordering union members not to work in the Howard Theatre, had its beginning in a dispute between the theatre management and the stage crew about pay for the staging and working of the performances of "Getting Gertie's Garter," which was the attraction at this house during the weeks of February 9 and 16. According to A. C. Hayden, executive officer of the American Federation of Musicians, the sum of $334 was due the stage crew for salaries and repairing scenery for "Getting Gertie's Garter." He stated that Nathan W. Matchett, head of the Matchett Theatre Corporation, lessee of the Howard Theatre, set up the concession that this indebtedness was due from the manager of the show, a Mr. Holland. The national office of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees in New York, Mr. Hayden said, decided that the Howard Theatre management owed the money with the possible exception of $116, which Mr. Matchett claimed Mr. Holland owed. In order to adjust the dispute, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees wanted Mr. Matchett to deposit $334 and take an appeal to the executive board, which would give Mr. Holland the right to answer this claim. Mr. Matchett refused to do this. He was then given two weeks' notice and the road call was issued effective March 14. Musicians Called Out The stage crew quit work when Mr. Matchett refused to pay them for their services. A non-union stage crew was put to work, and on March 9, local No. 710 of the American Federation of Musicians called out its members. Three walked out and four remained. The four who refused to obey the order of the union were suspended. They are William Miller, saxophonist; Felix Miller, drummer; James Miller, Jr., clarinetist, and Claud Hopkins, pianist. "Oil Scandals" opened at the Howard on March 9.

Ford and the Masonic Hall Corporation came up before Justice Hitz, Friday. After hearing arguments from Atty, William L. Houston for the Hall Corporation and Atty, Wolf for Grand Lodge, Justice Hitz instructed the two lawyers to get together and reach an agreement on the meeting scheduled for Friday night. In the event the lawyers were unable to agree, Justice Hitz said he would issue an injunction preventing the meeting from being held. The case comes up for final hearing, Monday. A suit for an accounting, a receivership and an injunction has been filed in the equity division of the District Supreme Court against the trustees (or directors) of the New Masonic Hall Corporation. Gross mismanagement in the affairs of the corporation is allowed is alleged The suit is brought by Charles Datcher Lodge No. 15 of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of Free Ancient and Accepted Masons for the District of Columbia; Allan A.

The appointment of a receiver to take charge of the affairs of the corporation during the litigation is also asked. The plaintiffs also ask the court to enjoin the defendants from holding a special meeting on March 20, 1925, and from increasing the capital stock of the corporation. The purpose of the meeting, which the plaintiffs seek to enjoin, is said is for the authorization of the trustees to obtain a loan of $100,000 and to increase the capital stock. The loan would be for the completion of the building at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest. It is claimed in the bill that it is the intention of the officers and board of trustees to refuse to allow porxy-holders of the Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges to vote proxies represented by them, thus depriving the lodges of the right to vote on the proposed matters of authorizing a loan and increasing the capital stock of the corporation. The recent election of the board of trustees is brought into question by the suit. It is charged in the bill that those holding proxies of the Grand Lodge and of the subordinate lodges were prevented from voting for their nominees on the board of trustees. This election was held on January 22, 1925, and all of the old members of the board with the exception of Charles P. Ford, Grand Master of the District of Columbia, were reelected, George M. Ambler was elected in place of Mr. Ford. This action at the election of the board by the president and officers of the Hall Corporation and certain members of the board of trustees, it is alleged in the bill of complaint, was for the purpose of perpetuating themselves in office and preventing those who desired to fully ascertain the true condition of the affairs of the corporation and to correct the management of such affairs and properly proceed with the construction of the building at Tenth and U Streets, from having representation of the board of trustees. The defendants are cited to show cause Friday morning why the injunction should not be granted. gan To Be Dedicat- politan Church talent. The dedicatorial night will bo April 2nd.

The Spartans and Daughters, two girl teams, battled to a 12-12 tie after two extra periods. Among the youngsters, the Midget aggregatoin boasting of 15 year old boys, downed the Flashes. The Athenians defeated the Omega fraternity in Baltimore, Friday 13th by the score, 26 to 13. Slater, the Wilberforce University center is 6 feet, 4 inches tall. Coach Mohr expects him to be a terror next year. The Johnson C. Smith University of Charlotte, N.C., will soon have a modern, well-equipped gymnasium. Mrs. Johnson C. Smith will make the gift. JOYNSON FOR JOHNSON For the Eastern League believe that C. Black Sox got the worst of the derby which sent the hustling Wade Johnson to Kansas City for "Heavy" Johnson. FILM GAME OF SEASON The C. Smith University baseball team lost its winning game to the Charleston (S.C.) Tigers by the score, 4 to 1. Alcoes Take on Carlisles Tuesday The Alco and Carlisle teams are reported to have set March 24th as the date for the first game for the District basketball championship. The game will be played at the Murray Casino. The original opening date for the first game of the series was March 13th but the Carlisle quintet was also booked for a Virginia game that night. The championship will be decided by a three-game series. Bitter rivalry has existed between these aggregatoins for many years. Both quints are reported to be stronger this year than ever before. The Alcoes have suffered but three defeats—the Philadelphia Panthers scoring two wins and the Baltimore Scholasties the other. The Chicago Dribblers, Loendi, Omega, N. Y. Legion and Athenians are numbered among the locals victims. The Carlisle tossers have tasted defeat on three occasions, but in recent games have shown rare court ability. The team has been under a new coach for a month. WILBERFORCE CLOSES SUCCESS FUL SEASON Outclassing their opponents, the Wilberforce cagers dropped the curtain on their regular basketball season Monday night by winning a 33-22 victory before an enthusiastic audience at Beacom Gymnasium. The victory gave the Wilberforce boys the intercollegiate championship and an .814 standing for their regular season, the results of thirteen of their sixteen games having been recorded on the right hand side of the ledger. Captain "Country" Lewis of the Wilberforce team was the high point man of the evening with 13 markers, six baskets and one free throw. Although tallying seven points, Wu Fung Ward was one of the heroes of the contest, stopping the West Virginia offense several times when it threatened to function smoothly. Huff, Harding, Washington and Jackson played a steady game. Captain Drain was the high point man and individual star of the West Virginia team. He made twelve points, six field goals in the first half, but failed to make a point the second half. Wilberforce G. F. W. Va. G. F.

Smith) Hampton, Va., March 18—Hampton Institute will hold its fourth annual track and field meet on Armstrong Field on a Saturday, March 16.

C., March 18—The Walker Baptist Institute of Augusta, Ga., won over the recently organized girls basketball team of the Voohrees Institute by the count, 15 to 14. It was the Voohrees girls' first attempt at the court game. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 Reinstates Former Tennis Champion Edgar Brown, former national singles tennis champion, has been reinstated by the Executive Board of the American Tennis Association. Brown's unsportmanlike acts during the championship matches at Chicago two season's ago caused his inactivity for one year, while certain slanderous articles attacking the Association's officials prolonged the suspension. The charge of jumping a board bill here was also against Brown. The latter is reported to have settled the board bill and apologized to the association. The former champion is certain to have a tough time on the courts this season. Rising yousters like Ayre Saitch, Ted Thompson, Eddie Davis, Alvin Woolridge, Goff, and Walker, coupled with Tally Holmes's decision to go on forever shapes the path of the former champ as a rough one. Kid Norfolk Knocked Out By Lawson New York—Fighting Bob Lawson, "The Alabama Bear" stablemate of "Tiger" Flowers, clammed out one of his famous right crosses to the point of "Kid" Norfolk's chin in two minutes and five seconds of the first round of a scheduled 12 round match, and the world's colored light-heavyweight championship passed into the hands of "Fighting Bob." Norfolk went to the canvas like a felled ox, taking almost the entire count before moving, his fighting instinct alone caused him to attempt to arise but he fell backwards immediately and was counted out. Bob Lawson, in three months has scored fifteen straight knockouts, no fight going more than five rounds. Baseball In Florida (By "Speed" Madden) Palm Beach, Fla., March 18—The Royal Poinciana Club, playing on the same grounds where the world champion Natoinals and New York Giants staged an exhibition game the previous day, defeated the Breakers Hotel Club in the final game of the winter season, 5 to 4. "Big Boy" McClure who held the Breakers hitless and runless in his last start, and Rats Henderson, fresh from Cuba, divided the pitching assignment for Joe Williams' club while Nimp Winters twirled for the losers. Jewel Thomas of Hilldale fame cloithed the first home run of the season and the longest hit ever made on the Poinciana diamond. Winters also banged out a homer. Britt, the Black Sox twirler proved his versatility by breaking up the game in the last inning with a clean single with a runner on third. The winter performers are hiking North to begin the regular season grind. None of the players who have sojourned here will have to go through a rigid preliminary training. HAMPTON PREPARES FOR BASEBALL AND TRACK (By P. Bernard Young, Jr.) Hampton, Va., March 16—With a basketball championship successfully tucked away, the Hampton Institute men are turning to the spring sports in preparation for a strenuous season in baseball and track. Officially, the season opened a few days ago when Coach Gideon E. Smith sent out the call for candidates in both sports. At this time forty baseball and thirty-five track aspirants signified their intention of competing for positions. With baseball the situation presents more perplexing problems to the coaches, for exactly seven positions which veterans filled last season must be refilled this season with new material. Captain B. C. Jacobs is unable to play, due to a recent leg operation, and Edward Hargrove is centering his activities in track. With Hargrove working on track and Ruffin now a graduate, Hampton is deprived of two of her best boxmen of last season. Alco-Carlisle Series Starts March 24th All-Star Mid-West Basketball Team Woods of Simmons is without a doubt the best of the lot of centers. He is a wonderful floor man and good on the defense. Wu Fang Ward of Wilberforce is one of the greatest basketball players of all times. He is a clever and heady player. He is past master with the dribble. He scored consistently and was the high point man on his team. Harding of Wilberforce although not the finished product as his teammate, is the logical candidate for the other guard position.

Would like to hear from the teams in the Departmental League. By Dean Mohr (Wilberforce Athletic Director) Basketball in Middle West probably mo highly develop than in any oth section of the co try. Wilberfor West Virginia a Simmons Uni sity have tea which rank w the best in t country. Wilb Basketball in the Middle West is probably more highly developed than in any other section of the country. Wilberforce, West Virginia and Simmons University have teams which rank with the best in the country. Wilberforce holds a unique position in the basketball world, because the Wilberforce team plays both white and colored teams. In selecting an All Mid-West team the task is much easier this season since the first five stand out above the other players. The forward positions go to Drain of West Virginia and Lewis of Wilberforce. Drain is selected because of his superior floor work and basket shooting. He has an unerring eye for the basket and with his shooting has been able to keep his team at the front. Lewis of Wilberforce is a very good shot and a wonderful passer. He is a southpaw which is to his advantageae in deceiving his opponent. INFERIOR DIAMOND MATERIAL Euthusiasm runs high in the Arm-strong baseball camp. An entirely new team is to be built around a few veteran battery mates. There will probably appear an entirely new infield and outfield. C. W. Adams, who will again pilot the squad, admitted handicaps this year that were not problems last year, but his remarks relative to 1925 prospects were far from being pessimistic. "Those chaps are in dead earnest," said he, "and they are going to be hard to stop." A definite schedule has not been announced though it is expected that Tech will meet Shaw Junior, Randall Junior, Baltimore High, Manassas, Dunbar, Howard and many clubs about Washington and vicinity.

The company maintains three convenient stations. Another feature is the all night service, thereby enabling the public to get a cab at all times without any trouble. Strike Closes Howard Theater (Continued from page 1) an orchestra of eight pieces from New York. They are all members of the American Federation of Musicians, which has a working engagement with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. During the matinee last Saturday Mr. Hayden appeared at the theatre with a telegram from the New York headquarters. He ordered Freddie Tunstall, director of the orchestra who came with the show, to take his men out of the pit and stay out until further orders. The matinee performance was half through. Mr. Hayder finally agreed to let the union musicians finish playing for that performance. A truce between the labor unions and the lessees of the Howard Theatre was to have been signed Saturday night. Mr. Matchett refused to sign the agreement. The audience out front waited for the curtain to rise. Back stage the show folks were all made up. The strike breakers had the scenery all set for the first act. The local orchestra was in the pit playing number after number. Then instead of the rise of the curtain, George H Tucker, manager of the Howard Theatre, appeared before the footlights and made the announcement The union musicians from New York had refused to go into the pi' and play for the show. Freddie Tuns tall could not be persuaded to direct the house orchestra. The Miller brothers were willing to attempt to play the music, which was specially written for "Oil Scandals" by Porter Grainger and Freddie Johnson, but Claud Hopkins, the pianist, admitted difficult for him without Again Sunday night the audience sat out front. Back stage the show folks had all reported but bollied about without making-up. The house orchestra was in the pit playing. About the time for the curtain to go up Dave Hamill, manager of "Oil Scandals," entered the theatre with a lawyer, his stage carpenter and property man. Hamill and his lawyer went into the business office. Tucker and Joseph Fine tried to persuade him to remain over. He finally walked out of the office, went back stage, told the "let's get this show out of here." Paul Chaney and his stage crew, who are stirking, came through the stage door to help remove the scenery. Chaney ordered his men to go up in the flys. The breakers manned the ladder leading to the flys. Matchett had ordered them to let no one remove anything from the theatre unless ver their dead bodies. They told Chaney that his men could not ARE, YOU GOING- ANY PLACE TO- NIGHT, BESS? SURE! I HAVE A DATE WITH MR. PLEN- TY-DOUGH TO-NIGHT!

The Fire Marshall was back stage. He told Hamill to wait a minute, called up Lieut. Jerry Sullivan at the eighth precinct and told him to send a couple of men down there. Somebody started to lock the stage door and he advised that if "anybody locks that door, I'll put 'em in jail." Then he went down front and asked Tucker who was assuming responsibility for the trouble that was hound to arise if the strike-breakers refused to let Chaney's crew go up in the flys. It was then that the strike breakers were ordered not to interfere with the removal of the scenery. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 Freddie Johnson, Doe Doe Green and Troy Brown, stars of the show, as well as the lesser lights, pulled off their coats and went to work helping to take down and remove the scenery. Mr. Hamill stated that the show cancelled its engagement because the theatre management broke its contract Saturday night. He claims that Mr. Matchett sent Mr. Tucker to make the announcement to the audience that there would be no performance and to call at the box office for a refund of their money without consulting him. His show, he claims, was ready to go through with the performance. He HE IS DUE. HERE AT 7:30 AND IT'S ABOUT 7:15 NOW! says he is going to sue the Matchett Theatre Corporation for a week's receipts. Mr. Tucker claims that Mr. Hamill was fully advised of conditions at the Howard Theatre before he brought his show here. He says that Hamill was told to leave his union musicians and stage help in New York, if he had any, because the Howard was a non-union theatre, but Mr. Hamill assured him that he would take care of that end of it. Hamill was bitter in his denunciation of Matchett. He charges that Matchett pursues similar tactics with colored shows having less financial backing, keeps their scenery, locks it I'D LIKE, TO SEE MISS. BESS, PLEASE! SHE'S GONE TO BED, MY LAD!

Wesley Vaughn, charging grand larceny. The indictment alleges that the three men did feloniously steal the sum of $1,240 from William A. Hayes, of 449 N Street, Northwest, on February 9, last. When arraigned recently in police court, Brooks, Martin and Vaugh contended that they won the money fairly in a dice game. Detective Paul Jones, who was instrumental in apprehending the men after Hayes had lost his bank roll to them, appeared before the grand jury. He says that two of them with fake rolls of money posed as "gentlemen of means," while the other was supposed to be a "hick." The two posing as gentlemen persuaded Hayes to engage in a dice game to win $3,500 from the "hick." In the game, Hayes is said to have lost what money he had on his person. PAGE FIVE IT'S BLAME STRANG SHED GOT TO BED SO SOON AND KNEW I WAS CALLING TWO !! TO BE CONTINUED He then went to the bank and drew out $1,100, which he says he also lost in the game.

The District Health Department found it necessary to burn down a five-room frame house here this week in order to check the possible spread of small pox. We have no objection to the burning of the structure. Our objection is lodged in the fact that sixteen persons existed (we dare not say, lived) in a two-family house under conditions "unfit," the District Health Officer said, "for human habitation." It is deplorable that such conditions should obtain in a city with so high a rank of intelligence as the Capital of the Nation. These conditions obtain not because intelligent Washington is unable to handle them, but because everybody thinks some one else should assume the responsibility. There are organizations to take care of the helpless and to provide for certain civic betterments, but there are none energetic in the general welfare of the city. The churches, which are supported by the largest number of citizens, limit, generally, the scope of their welfare work to members of their respective houses of worship. They are too little concerned with the welfare of that part of mankind which does not pay his dues or belong to their fold. The churches, however, are not alone responsible. The foregoing attitude permeates independent and non-denominational organizations. As a result we find persons housed under conditions "unfit for human habitation." We cannot forever avoid the responsibility of our less fortunate brother's welfare. Although we avoided the responsibility of the conditions leading up to the destroying of this five-room home by fire, we can not, as a part of society, avoid the care of the fourteen children who were made homeless as a result of the destruction. "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure," works as well in the welfare of the community as in any thing else. We must answer the call of duty.

It is distressing to know that there are so many in our midst who will not express an unbiased opinion—whose thoughts are governed by the personal element. All about us we can see the evil effects of allowing friendship to be the deciding factor in choosing men to direct the affairs of a race, or of a nation, and the futility of holding men up who have been, in so many words, failures. We have but to recall the recent oil scandal, the Department of Justice controversy, the downfall of Marcus Garvey, the crumbling condition of the Whitelaw Apartment Company, to be convinced that men, who affect national and local life and conditions, should be measured and weighed by their qualifications and merits and not merely by their friendly dispositions. Personally, on several occasions, we enjoyed the hospitality of the late Colonel Young's home, and for that reason lay claim to his friendship; but being a friend of ours did not necessarily make him a famous soldier. Nor will future generations know him because of our personal friendship. Men are remembered by what they do. The greater the achievement—constructive or destructive—the longer the remembrance. Jesse James was a bandit who robbed for the love of it; so was Peter Mayo a bandit who robbed when in need. Which do you know? Martin Luther was a reformer who gave birth to the Protestant church; so was Judon Dancy who built a Baptist church. Which does the world know to-day? Carnegie is a financier who contributes heavily for educational progress; so is Woolworth a financier owning the highest building in America. Which is the most likely to be known one hundred years from to-day? Napoleon was a soldier more than a century ago, but his strategy and military acumen are still studied by men in modern defense. Young was a soldier who rose to the rank of a colonel in the United States Army. But will he be known or his career studied a hundred years from to-day? Is the mere fact that he was a "colonel" sufficient to perpetuate his memory? Last week we asked our contemporaries, "What did Young do to merit commemoration?" We said that he entered the Military Academy, West Point, New York, because of certain "pull." Were it not so—were it a matter of merit—we could today point to several, instead of one or two, Negroes who have been able to attend and to graduate from West Point. Were it not that Holly lacked sufficient "pull," he would to-day be pursuing his studies in the Naval Academy. It is a matter of "pull" with even the white race, whose schools they are. We said further that we could find no contributions that the Colonel made, no encounter in which his military proficiency distinguished him, nothing to merit commemoration. To date, none has been cited. We would be willing to co-operate whole heartedly in the commemoration if we were convinced of its justification. We are equally ready to use "hammers . . ." in "... tearing down," if "tearing down" will enable us to build a more solid structure. We will ever use "hammers" in "tearing down" false assumptions, superstitions and their attendant evils with a hope of proving the ground for superior superstructures. LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE NOTES At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "A Hidden Treasure.' Quite often the most valuable things of life are overlooked and something of less value is chosen. What is the most valuable thing in life? How may we choose so as not to be mistaken in our choice? What is the guiding hand of destiny? Mrs. Brooks will sing at the morning service. The Senior Christian Endeavor will render its program at 6:45 P.M. The public is most cordially invited to both services. PAGE SIX Washington, D. C., by UNE PUBLISHING Co., Inc., Phone, Potomac 1667 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, 19.

DRIVE GOES ON At the office of the N.A.A.C.P. on U Street it was learned that the membership campaign, inaugurated last Sunday, was given great impetus on many pulpits, more than a hundred such speeches being made. The president of the branch was in demand, filling engagements at three churches. All sections of the city were touched and all creeds opened their doors. On Tuesday night the Grand Lodge of Moses, meeting in semi-annual session, was addressed by president Thomas. The secretary of the branch says the outlook for the drive is very gratifying.

But most of all is that of the white man's element and judging the w In the current issue of the Survey Graphic there appears an article, by Winthrop D. Lane, "Ambushed in the City," which was heralded over the country through several large white dailies under the caption, "The New Slavery in Harlem," or some other caption differing in phraseology but not in thought. Mr. Lane has given just enough truth to enable whites to use it as a means of destroying the Negro's racial loyalty and his confidence in doing business with members of his race. "All Harlem is ablaze with 'the numbers,'" says Mr. Lane. "People play it everywhere, in tenements, on street corners, in the backs of shops. 'Bankers' organize it, promote it, encourage it. They send their runners into flats and stores. You give the runner the money you are betting, write your number on a slip of paper and wait. If the number you choose is the one that wins next day," you may or may not get your money. For "it you may or may is common to win $12, $18, and $3. According to Mr. Lane, Negro most superstitious way: "from dirt addresses... numbers of hymns, way cars, from telephone number scores, from the prices they pay, license tags of passing automobiles.

Be mind. His policy is that of the taking the worst element and j is common to win $12, $18, and $30 and not get it." According to Mr. Lane, Negroes select their numbers in the most superstitious way: "from dream books... exchange of street addresses... numbers of hymns given out in church, from subway cars, from telephone numbers, from dates, from baseball scores, from the prices they pay for purchased articles, from the license tags of passing automobiles." Conceding the truth of all this, we can see no reason why it should be a vice for a Negro to invest a nickel or a dime with the possibility of winning six hundred times the amount invested and a virtue for whites to gamble on the Stock Exchange in Wall Street. With the Negro, the practice—so far as it really exists—is due largely to economic pressure, whereas with whites it is a habit for which there may be no such excuse. At any rate, even though a man be a Negro he is entitled to the right, freedom and privilege of spending his earnings to his own liking. The rapid moving of Negroes from the Southland into Northern cities has brought many who are unfamiliar with ways of the city. "They have become an invitation to the exploiter and the fakir," says Mr. Lane, "the gambling promoter, the necromancer, the fortune teller, the fake druggist, the quack doctor, and even more deliberate cheaters, such as the rent gouger. . . . Density of population is the fakir's paradise; it is the cheater's fairest opportunity for secrecy and success." Again we admit that high rents prevail, that Negroes are fleeced in rent. They will move anywhere and pay any price to escape crowding. Yet we can not accept Mr. Lane's unverified statement that he found "one apartment properly accommodating about ten persons that 'was occupied by forty-four.' Nor with his statement that "one room is not infrequently let out to two people, one of whom occupies it at night and the other during the day." That such a condition exists is most improbable, except, perhaps, where there are two pals. And this is not unlike the conditions which occur among whites industrially employed. Keeping Negroes from moving into white settlements does not benefit the Race. It curbs the rapid expansion of the Negro area and causes whites to lose heavily in the event that a Negro does move into a white settlement; for it is easy to convince the white race, generally, of the false assumption that the very presence of a Negro destroys the physical and moral values of property. It is the out-growth of an anxiety due to the unparalleled advance and accumulated wealth which he has made in spite of his many hardships. Why discredit the Negro's practice of holding parties in his home for the purpose of obtaining money to make up the deficiency in wages? Is that not a sign of honesty—a means of paying his creditors and still having some money left? Are the lines in the uptown banking establishments a sign that Negroes do not make an effort to save? Negroes crave and obtain as fine wearing apparel, as fine food and as much fun as many well-to-do whites. A peep into their homes, a look at their dinner tables, a little observation on the streets, will verify this. However, if the conditions which prevail in Harlem are deplorable, can they be remedied by destroying the Negro's racial confidence and tearing down his business enterprises and institutions? Is there any race upon the face of the globe which needs to cultivate and to practice racial loyalty more than the Negro? It would be far better for the Race, and even for Mr. Lane's reputation as a reliable and unbiased investigator, if he should, on his next material-getting expedition to "Negro Harlem," take with him one of the many intelligent Harlem Negroes, and thus get an opportunity to visit the homes of the better element, and to get a close acquaintance with their institutions and places of business and forms of amusement. But most of all, he needs a broader mind. His policy is that of the white man's in general,—that of taking the worst element and judging the whole race by it. JOBS AT FORD'S NEW PLANT SOUGHT (U. S.

With the prospects of an early spring migration of Negroes from the southern States, a portion of which will doubtless enter the Twin Cities district, local citizens and interested welfare workers are urging that the Ford Company extend its usual policy of employing Negro hands to the Saint Paul works.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 RADIO RADIO "TROUBLE-SHOOTING" By Rufus P. Turner—3LF A would-be chauffeur, after being left with an automobile by a salesman, finds before him many foot-pedals, meters, knobs, throttles, pushbuttons and other devices that must be operated in the right manner at the proper time. After he has had the car going fairly well for a reasonable time, he begins to hear hisses, knocks and noises, so he wonders just where the trouble lies. The newly initiated radio fan finds himself in the same predicament when the radio salesman leaves before him a brain-racking conglomeration of wires, knobs, dials and switches called a radio set. The fan attempts operating. Everything goes along finely for a week or two. He becomes enthusiastic—then something terrible happens. The receiver seems to act unusually queer—it hisses, it rattles, it makes all manner of peculiar noises. In vain, the embryo radio enthusiast attempts to locate the trouble but he finds no clue. Then the only source of relief is the radio repairman who usually presents a monstrous bill for his labors. After several payments for repairs, the newly made radio fan expresses his desire for a chart that gives the diagnosis and remedy for all radio ills. Such a chart, he says, would greatly assist us all—it would be a panacea for radio ills. We sympathize with fans like him, so we are publishing a complete trouble finding chart. It has taken careful experimentation, research and actual experience to compile this chart and we recommend it as being accurate. Care has been taken to see that it covers all receivers—crystal and tube—and that it is clean cut and concise. Use it well. Causes of Trouble in Crystal Detector Circuits Hisses are caused by bad phone cord, damp crystals, vibration, looses connections, aerial wire touching grounded conductor. Clicks—loose cat-whiskers, short circuit, broken turn in tuning coil, vibration. Frying—bad phone cord, damp crystal, corroded cat-whisker. Rattles—vibration, bad phone cord, broken turn in tuning coil. Hums or buzzes—aerial near electric light or telephone wires, x-ray machine or buzzer near. Ringing—loose cat-whisker, vibration. Vacuum Tube Detector Circuits Hisses—too much regeneration (adjust tickler), "B" battery in damp place, bad phone cord. Clicks—bad phone cord, short cir- cuit, loose connection, bad soldering. Frying—too much regeneration (burn tube dimmer), bad phone cord, poor grade "B" battery, "B" battery in damp place. Rattles—loose connection, vibration, short circuit. Hums or buzzes—too much regen- eration (burn tubes dimmer; adjust tickler). Ringing—vibration (mount socket on sponge-rubber cushion). Radio Frequency Amplifying Hisses—broken transformer lead, too much oscillation; (place a condenser across transformer). Clicks—short circuit, bad soldering. Frying—"B" battery current too high, reversed transformer leads. Rattles—(Same as vacuum tube detector circuit.) Hums, buzzes and ringing are seldom noticed in this circuit. Hisses and frying—reversed transformer leads, tubes burning too brightly. Clicks—short circuit, poor connection. Rattles and ringing—(Same as vacuum tube detector circuit.) Hums or buzzes—reversed transformer leads. Communications and Queries Radio Editor: Which is the best way to practice the Morse Code? I would like to master it as soon as possible. One radio fan who already knows the code advised me to become a member of his mid-weekly class class. But I find it impossible to attend the meetings and it is evident that I must practice alone.—J. McD. The most effective way of practicing code reception is by listening to a long-wave Naval code station and copying all words that you can. Station NAA (Naval radio at Arlington, 1. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. RADIO WEEK Saturday, April 4th, will be Tribune radio day. We are offering one dollar for the best radio story (fiction); one dollar for the best radio article; and a dollar for the best radio poem submitted to this paper. The editor of the Children's Page and Rufus P. Turner, editor of the Radio Column, will be the judges. All stories, articles, and poems must be in this office by noon Saturday, March 28th. Write all communications plainly; write on one side of paper; give name, age, address, school, and school class. Please write your age after your name in "every letter." QUESTION BOX Dear Editor: Who wrote "Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you?" This thought impresses me very much. If it is a poem please tell me where I can find it. THELMA LANE The lines you quote are from Madeline Bridges' (Mrs. Mary Angre de Vere) poem "Life's Mirror." The stanza which you quote appears in two verses of this poem as follows: "For life is the mirror of king and slave Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. "There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you." This writer's works are not listed in the Carnegie Library, nor do I know the publishers. If I locate the publishers I will forward you the information you ask for. GOOD HUMOR AND GOOD MANNERS The statement recently has been humor is the highest attainment of good manners, a statement that will made that good attainment of good surprise some of you. Many of you young people who are touchy, irritable, and gloomy, fail to realize that you fail in courtesy. If you go about you are out of tune with life, you are wearing an expression which shows impolite. You would apologize for stepping on somebody's toes, but you do not realize that that lowering brow of yours makes scores uncomfortable, instead of one. The bad temper of a single member upsets the peace and harmony of innumerable households. When the spirit of courtesy takes command of life, it flowers in good humor. Tom—“Pa, you remember you promised me five dollars if I passed in school this year?” Pa—“Yes.” Tom—“Well, you're not going to be put to that expense.” VISIT ME I would like for Harry K. Parker of 2231 13th Street, Northwest, and Russell Burke of 744 Lamont Street Northwest, to come to the Tribune Office and ask to see the editor of the Children's Page.

Station WRC, of this city, used to transmit code practice daily at 5:15 p.m., starting at five words per minute and ending with twenty-five words per minute. The announcer would read the text of the message after transmission and give the fans a chance to verify their reception. Abruptly, this station ceased the daily code practice much to the regret of many fans. It would be particularly advantageous if a number of fans petitioned this station to resume the code practice since it would air many —Radio Editor. Masons Carry Fight to Court Masons Carry Fight to Court (Continued from page 1) Masonic Hall Corporation Makes Answer Through Attorneys Houston and Houston, the trustees filed their answer to the suit Friday morning. The trustees declare that if the meeting should not be held on March 23, 1925, the opportunity to place a loan for the purposes of completing the building at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, will be lost, the money being available no longer than April 1 next. They declare that creditors are pressing the trustees of the corporation for settlement of accounts, some of which are long over due. The trustees deny that a receiv- ship is necessary. No occasion exists, they say requiring the services or offices of a receiver. The corporation, they claim, is not insolvent. The trustees also deny that a proper audit has not been made of the affairs of the corporation. They declare that each year a complete audit has been made and submitted to the corporation. A full report, they say, was made at the meeting held on January 22, 1925, which was approved by the stockholders and it is available for the inspection and information of any person interested. They also say that they are prepared to show a record of every dollar collected for the corporation which it has received but they are unable to account for the money collected by the Grand Lodge and now held by it, which the officers of the Grand Lodge refuse to surrender to the corporation. The trustees charge that the suit is brought in malice and is prompted by sinister motives. They charge that they have been harassed, annoyed and embarrassed by the actions of certain of those bringing the suit. They say that Charles P. Ford, who was defeated for re-election as a trustee, after the meeting on January 22, 1925, employed counsel, who asked the United States Attorney to institute quo warranto proceedings to oust them from office. The district attorney, they say, refused to do so, and then "the plaintiffs instituted this litigation with a view solely of securing for themselves the offices of the corporation, and, failing in that, to accomplish its wreck and ruin by the appointment of receivers." The trustees say that negotiations were going on looking to the settlement of differences between the contending factions when this suit was filed. A conference was held in the office of Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, they declare, and Mr. Gaskins, representing Mr. Ford, submitted a proposed agreement. The trustees claim that they offered a counter proposal, and then it was that the suit was filed. It is understood that Mr. Gaskins insisted upon his clients, who filed this suit, not going into court but settling their differences for the good of the stockholders by arbitration outside of court. White attorneys were employed to bring the suit. At the annual meeting, January 22 1925, at which the officers were elected the trustees say that no proxies or credentials, propriely authorized and executed by the stockholders, were prevented from being voted. DR. NORMAN ENTERTAINS THE BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE The Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington and vicinity met on Monday 16th, in weekly session, as usual at the Metropolitan Baptist Church R Street, between 12th and 13th Streets, Northwest. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor, and president of the conference, after the regular reports of the Ministers and the order of the day. Hon. J. R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank, and financial secretary of the A. M. E. General Conference spoke. The address was timely and approved by the conference. Several important visitors were present. Among the out-of-town guests were Rev. Moses of New York and his son. The visitors were introduced and made brief and inspiring remarks; special time was accorded Rev. Moses who spoke on the progress and work of the Baptist Church. It was during a short intermission of the program that the president, Dr. Norman offered a delicious luncheon to the conference and guests, served by a committee eof courteous ladies of his congregation; Mrs. M. Gordon, Mrs. L. West, Miss E. Fitzhugh and Miss L. Robinson. It was an appreciative treat to those whom he had served for twelve or more years, profiting by his large capacity of knowledge and executive qualities. His helpfulness which has always been in a spirit of brotherly love and kindness, cannot be over estimated. The reception was a real surprise. A vote of thanks was attended the president and the committee of ladies by the conference. The Colored Actors Union held a special one-day session at the New Summit Hotel, Wednesday, March 18. In the absence of the president and vice-president, Mr. S. H. Dudley, general manager of the Union, presided. About one hundred delegates were present.

The installation under the auspices of the Baptist Minister's Conference Rev. M. W. D. Norman, L.L.B., president, was indeed very impressive and their program was carried out commendably.

The reception committee headed by Mrs. Pearl Getts, as chairman, who was so wonderfully assisted by her auxiliaries of the church, left no stone unturned, and spared no pains, to make it the most successful event of all times.

Wing, Chef Hotel Roosevelt. In my articles as various times I shall endeavor to the best of my ability to tell how to make bread, cakes, pastries, ices, creams and candies for the home. The baker, pastry cook and confectioner are ambitious to do good work. My success in this business is due to a careful study of the materials and to painstaking work, covering a period of many years, in places where good work was demanded. A. E. My object in writing these articles is to improve the standard of Pastry work, and to raise the pastry cooks to a higher plane by enabling them to command higher wages than customarily, theretofore been paid; also to elevate the bread and pastry cooking to the plane of high class meat Cooking. My earnest desire now is that the work shall bear fruit by popularizing, but, also the profession of pastry but, also the profession of Pastry making. To make good bread, there are three (3) things required, first, good flour; second, good yeast; and third, a person with intelligence and experience, who knows how to use flour, and yeast to make bread out of it. Varieties of Wheat Most difficulties for bakers arise from the variety of flours in use. Almost every section of this country produces flour of different qualities. Bakers used to Eastern flours, often have trouble going West; as they have to learn the use of these flours before they are able to make good bread. Flours of different qualities require more or less fermentation and different treatment in sponges and doughs. The varieties of wheat are divided into Spring wheat and Winter wheat. The Winter wheat is planted in the Fall, and the Spring wheat is planted in the early Spring. The best grade of Spring wheat, which is, the hard red spring wheat, comes from the Northwest, viz., Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Manitoba. The Southwest, especially Kansas, also Texas and Oklahoma, raises a good hard red Winter Wheat, which makes good bread flour. The soft grades are mostly used for Cake and Pastry flours; the others are used in blends, with Spring wheat flours. The Oregon and California wheat Rooms 20-21 P make a flour of good color and flavor, but as they contain much starch, they are classed among the weak bread flours. It is a well known fact that, winter wheat flours possesses a much better flavor, and gives more moisture to the "IT MATTERS NOT HOW FAR WE THERE'S A RED CAB STATION RED CAB Meter Rates 20 Cents for first 2-5 mile 20 Cents per mile thereafter Courteous and polite chauffeurs who take pride in making your ride comfortable and safe.
