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 original opening date for the first -game of the series was March 13th but the Carlisle quintet was alse booked for @ Virginia game that night. The championship will be decided by a three-game series. Bitter rivalry has existed betwen 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 Pan- thers scoring two wins and the Bal- timore Scholasties the other. The Chi- cago Dribblers, Loendi, Omega, N. Y. Legion and Athenians are numbered among the locals victims. The Car- lisle 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 Outelassing their opponents, the Wilberforce cagers dropped the cur- tain on their regular basketball sea- son Monday night by winning a 33-22 victory before an enthusiastic audi- eitee at Beacom Gymnasium, ‘The vic- tory gave the Wilberforce boys the intercollegiate championship and an .814 standing for their regular sea- son, 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 Vir- ginia 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. Wuberforce G. F..W. Va. G. FP.

Brown’s unsportsmanlike acts during the championship matches at Chicago two season's ago caused his inactivity for one year, while certain slanderous ar- ticles attacking the Association's of- ficials 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 yougsters 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.

Bernard Young, Jr.) Hampton, Va., March 16—With basketball championship successfully tucked away, the Hampton Institute ‘men are turning to the spring sports in préparation 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 bath sports, At this time forty baseball and thirty- five track aspirants signified their intention of competing for positions. Baseball Gaps With baseball the situation presents more perplexing problems to the coaches, for exactly seven positions which veterans filled last must be aatilied tks aannoet with Fore aete terial.

Scott, Tribune Sports Editor FRATERNITIES THRIVE WHILE VARSITY RETIPRC Greek letter fraternities are eutting a big figure in basketball these days. More and more each year the fraternities are overshadowing college varsity teams. One can vead of wide fraternity court action -in Nashville, Tenn,; Lynchburg, Va. Lineoln and our own city. We remember about four years ago the Howard varsity quintet used to pack the fans in. If memory serves us right, the largest crowd that ever wit- nessed a basketball game here saw Howard and Lincoln clash. ‘That was about four years ago. We saw both the Howard-West Virginia and Howard- Morehouse games. A mere handful witnessed both. On the other hand we aw a numberof the fraternity league games between Omega, Phi Beta and Kappa and have yet to see a slim crowd. Why is this lack of interest in varsity basketball and¥oferwhelming en- thusiasm in fraternal basketball? Just this, the fraternities have made their games popular while on the hill nothing has been done to encourage patronage of varsity games. The fraternities grasped thelr opportunity three years ago when varsity basketball was suspended. The fellows wanted ac- tion on the courts and the fraternities needed the money. This -activity of the fraternities‘has meant about thirty more athletes at Howard. Today the outstanding fraternity game of the season will be held at the Casino, Omega and Alpha will clash. They have been bitter rivals for years. Omega won the fraternity league title, but Alpha was not a mem. ber of the league. Clever promoters knew that the fans wanted the Omega. Alpha game. And today they. have it, On the hill the Howard varsity is through. Yet, Howard and Lincoln traditional foes, have not mt this winter. There is no association barrier in their Way. One waits on the other to advance the proposal for « game. Still, Howard athletic authorities wonder why fraternity basketball over. | shadows varsity basketball, ~ j DESPORT AND SPENCER RANK HIGH AS DMprrec Some weeks ago officials of the Eastern Colored League announced that the umpires of the circuit would rotate this season. Which means that the umps would travel from one city to another just as done in the major leagues. Here in Washington we have two of the best umpires that the League could boast of last year. This writer on more than one occasion questioned visiting players about the work of our umpires “Spike” Spencer and Danny Desport. Most of the players admitted that this pair was as good as any around the loop while a few’ called them the class of the circuit. Getting capadle arbitrators is not an easy job and this column in the form of a tip requests the league Commissioners to give the District umps a chance Both Desport and Spencer have Spent many years in baseball. Desport would today be one of the stars of the East, if a train accident had not resulted in the loss of an arm. At the time of the accident Desport was a member of the Royal Giants. Spencer has long been associated with the LeDroit Tigers, Just like good ball players, good umpires are scarce. The Eastern Colored League would do well to land the above pair. ee ea ee a INFERIOR DIAMOND MATERIAL | ARLINGTON ATHLETICS ARE Euthusiasm runs high in the aa) ee lebsinds. teangdin hlchoaee Pe hace ia The following officers have been named to head the Arlington (Va.)

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.

"An ounce of prevention is better than risks as well in the welfare of the community. We must answer the call of duty. 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.

With the Negro, the prairie is due largely to economic pressure habit for which there may be no though a man be a Negro he is an privilege of spending his earnings.

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.

Turner—3LF left with an automobile by a sales- man, finds before him many foot- pedals, meters, knobs, throttles, push- buttons 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 came 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 opera- ting. Everything goes along finely for a week or two. He becomes enthu- siastic—then something terrible hap- pens. ‘The receiver seems to act un- usually queer—it hisses, it rattles, it makes all manner of peculiar noises. In vain, the embryo radio enthu-| siast attempts to locate the trouble but he finds no clue, ‘Then the oo souree of relief is the radio repair- man who usually presents a 7 trous 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 1is all—it-would be # panacea for radio ills. ‘We sympathize with fans like him, 30 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 accu- vate. Care has been taken to see that it covers all receivets—crystal and tube—ard 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 eat-whiskers, short circuit, broken turn in tuning coil, vibration, Frying-—bad phone cord, damp erys- tal, corroded eat-whisker. Rattles—vibration, bad phone cord, broken turn in tuning coil. Hums or buzzes—aerial near elec- trie light, or:-telephone wires, x-ray machine or buzzer near. Ringing—loose. eut-whisker, vibra- tion. % £e ¥ 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, Hums or buzzes—too much regen- eration (burn tubes dimmer; adjust tickler). Ringing—vibration (mount socket on sponge-rubber cushion).

Tf it is a poem please tell me where 1 can find it, Z 7 THELMA LANE ‘The lines you quote are from Made- line 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 ‘soul’ 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 1 Imow the publishers. If I locate the publishets I will forward you the in- formation 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, irrita- ble, 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. 3 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 | [would like for Harry K.

They declare that creditors are press the trustees ef the eee tion for szttlment of accounts, some of which are long over due, | | The trustees deny that a receiver- 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 cach year a complete audit has been | made and submitted to the corpora- | ton. A full report, they say, was made at the meeting held on January 22, 1925, which was approved by the stockholders and it is a€ailable for the inspection and information of any person interested, ‘They also say that they are pre- pared to show a record of every dollar jcollected 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, mmoyed and [embarassed by the actions of certain af those bringing the suit. | ‘They say that Charles P. Ford, who La defeated for re-election as a trus- tee, after the, meeting onwJanuary 22, | 1925, employed counsel, who asked the | United States Attorney to institute quo warranto proceedings to oustthem |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 corpora- tion, and, failing in that, to accom- plish its wreek and ruin by the ap- | pointment of receivers.” | The trustees say that negotiations were going on, looking to the settle- || ment of differences between the con- tending factions when this suit was filed. A conference was held in the office of Attorney Benjamin L. Gas- |kins, they declare, and Mr. Gaskins, representing Mr. Ford, submitted a | proposed agreement. ‘The trustees claim that they offered a counter pro- posal, 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 forthe good of the stockholders by arbitration outside of court. White attorneys were em- | ployed to bring the suit. | At the annual meeting, January 22, | 1925, at which the officers were elected | the trustees say that no proxies or cre- dentials, proprely authorized and ex- ecuted by the stockholders, were pre- | vented from being voted.

It was an appre- ciative treat to those whom he had served for twelve or more years, prof- iting by his large capacity of knowl- edge and executive qualities.
