AND 3RD Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World has closed a deal for the purchase of the property at No. 301 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, known as the McCullen estate. The property is just a little less than two acres and is improved with an old-fashioned two-story house sitting on the rear of the property. The house contains about twenty rooms and an attic. The purchase price is said to be $50,000. A cash payment of $15,000 is to be made and the balance will be secured by a first trust. The lodge will have the right to curtail the principal at any interest period. The lodge adopted the recommendations of a joint committee of members and trustees, which provided for the purchase of this property at a meeting last Monday night at the Pythian Temple, Twelfth and U Sts., Northwest. The contract for the purchase of the property was entered into today. It was signed on behalf of the lodge by William H. Davis, exalted ruler, and Alphonso E. Williams, secretary. The legal phases of the transaction were looked after by Louis R. Mehlinger, the legal adviser. The members of the committee which recommended the purchase of this property were John F. Ross, L. R. Mehlinger, Alphonso E. Williams, James Chapman and Herbert Akers, and the trustees are E. W. Bundy, A. J. Gaskins, R. D. Smoot, James E. Williams and John F. Sneed. M. E. Conference at Frederick Votes For Merger M. E. Conference at Frederick Votes For Merger The Methodist Episcopal Church conference which met at Frederick last week, voted in favor of uniting the two bodies North and South. This question is causing one of the bitterest fights in the history of the body. The white conference which met here last week came near splitting over this question. Conference reports showed that churches as a whole have enjoyed prosperous years. Large sums of money were raised for missions and education. The following Superintendents were assigned by the Bishop: Washington District, Rev. J. H. Jenkins; Pittsburgh District, Rev. M. J. Naylor; Charleston District, Rev. W. A. English; North Baltimore District, Rev. C. Y. Trigg; South Baltimore, Rev. J. S. Carroll; Richmond District, Rev. W. S. Jackson. The following appointments for Washington and Vicinity were made: Asbury, Rev. J. U. King; Randall Memorial, Rev. J. E. Roberts; Fairmont Heights, Rev. J. R. Woods; Bennings, Rev. W. J. Tyler; Ebenezer, Rev. J. W. Waters; Haven, Rev. W. N. Brown; John Stewart, Rev. Grant Contee; Mt. Zion, Rev. B. G. Perkins; Nash Memorial, Rev. V. N. S. Hughes; Simpson, Rev. W. H. Williams; St. Marks, Rev. W. H. Howard; Mt. Vernon, Rev. J. A. Carr; Linden, Rev. H. S. Hayling; Roberts' Chapel, Alexandria, Va., Rev. F. S. King. Rev. B. G. Perkins, who comes to Mt. Zion is well known here as he was pastor at this church for a number of years. Rev. Trigg, former pastor was made Superintendent of the North Baltimore District. The conference will meet at Warren M. E. Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., next year. The Washington Tribune Published Weekly EDITOR MADE TRUSTEE OF WILBERFORCE Cleveland, Ohio- Two new trustees were appointed by Governor Donahey to Wilberforce University. They were Captain W. S. Commers, of Columbus, Ohio, for the term expiring June 30, 1928; Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette for term ending June 30, 1929; Joseph L. Johnson, former minister to Liberia (Democrat) was reappointed for the term ending June 30, 1930. Mr. Smith succeeds Sully James, Attorney-at-Law, who was chairman of the board. MOTON MAKES TYPICAL SPEECH AT METROPOLITAN Speaking at a meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Wednesday night in the interest of the Hampton-Tuskegee campaign for a $7,000,000 endowment fund, Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, paid tribute to the sense of justice and fair play of the southern white man toward the Negro, but said not a word in condemnation of the lynchings, disfranchisement, segregation, discrimination and other evils practiced against the black man in the South by this same white man. "Never before," he said, "has the southern white man and woman sat down and faced bleck men and women and they all talk across the table of their differences, and they are making sacrifices, almost as crusaders, with a direct view that the Negro have justice." With reference to the fight for an all-colored personnel for the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, he painted himself a hero, defying a mob of white men who demanded that he commit himself to their program, although he ran away from the scene of battle and left Tuskegee Institute, its faculty and students at the mercy of klansmen and conspired to retain Colonel R. H. Stanley, a white Alabamian, at the head of the Government institution. He recited a story concerning a South Carolina Negro, who was preemptorily ordered to move within thirty days after a white man who had just moved into the locality discovered that his neighbor was colored. The white man, his wife and daughter, so the story ran, became deathly sick with typhoid fever and a doctor called at the home of Richard Carroll, the colored man, said Moton, and told him that this man and his family, who had insulted, abused and threatened him, would not live unless he got the proper care and attention. This Carroll, his wife and daughter, said Moton, went over and nursed the white man and his family, although the man treated them with utter contempt. After they had regained their health, early one morning he heard a knocking at his door, said Moton, and looked through the window and saw this white man. He thought his time had come and prayed to God that he had been the good Samaritan and if this white man must take his life, let it be done, but the white man instead of harming him, had come only to thank him profusely for his kindness in nursing back to health his family. It was the story of humility and meakness, of turning the other cheek, of never resenting an insult. It was typical of the doctrine that Moton has been ordered to spread. Other speakers were William O. Matthews of Boston, Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes and Prof. Thomas Turner of Hampton. Garnet C.

SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 National Training School Makes Plea For $25,000: Baptist Gift A Myth J. Clay Smith Awarded Distinguished Service Medal From Small Beginning School Now Has Complete Modern Plant Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights has announced a campaign to raise $25,000. This amount is needed to meet several urgent demands in order that the school may be able to continue its work. This school was started in 1909 in an eight-room farm house out of repair, located on six acres of unimproved ground with eight students. By hard work on the part of Miss Burroughs, this school now is recognized as one of the leading institutions of its kind for the education of women and girls in the country. From one house, the campus now has eight buildings with all modern improvements. The eight acres of ground is now fully improved and cultivated. Beginning with eight students, the school now has an enrollment coming from twenty-six states, Africa and Central-America. It has more women graduates doing missionary work on the foreign field than from any other Negro school. The campaign to raise money has the backing of every Negro in this section. Miss Burroughs is one of the leading Negro women in America today. What she has accomplished at this school has been through her own efforts as she has no large organized body to fall back on for support. At present, the school is urgently in need of the following: $1,000 for coal; 50 white spreads; 100 unbleached sheets; 200 pillow cases; paint for buildings and money for other improvements. The following is a copy of the appeal sent out by Miss Burroughs: Washington, D. C. My dear Friends—North, South, East and West: Will you do me a favor?—Please read and answer this appeal. I am facing the darkest hour in my public career. Words of cheer from (Continued on page 5) J. Clay Smith, of 1117 N Street, Southeast, a retired sergeant of the Tenth Cavalry, United States Army, was decorated at the War Department last Saturday morning. Major General John N. Hines, Chief of Staff of the Army, acting for the Secretary of War, attended by his aides, presented him with the distinguished service cross, recently awarded him for extraordinary gallantry in action against the Spanish forces in Cuba on July 1, 1898. According to the War Department citation, "Sergt. Smith with utter disregard for personal safety and while exposed to a heavy fire of shell and small arms from the enemy, deliberately cut the fence or obstruction, consisting of four or five barbed wires on top of an almost perpendicular bank, thus enabling Troop A, Tenth Cavalry, United States Army, to advance and take the position ordered." Mr. Smith served in the army for a period of thirty-two years. He en- Miss Burroughs Can Not Account For News Story I was shocked when I read in the papers of Washington, two weeks ago, "The National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D.C., has just received $73,233 from the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America, Incorporated." This report has since gone the rounds of the Negro Press. There is absolutely no truth in the announcement. Where it came from, who authorized its publication, and what the motive is, are questions that have baffled me. This false report does our work great harm, for the reason that the school is in dire need of funds, and we are now sending out an appeal for $25,000 with which to meet the pressing obligations. The truth of the matter is that the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, has given only $10 to the school in its entire existence. The entire report is false, and will do the Convention and its boards more harm than good. People, far and near, have sent messages of congratulation to us, and our friends were very jubilant over the fact that the institution had at last received a worth-while gift. In justice to the Training School, we must give out some facts: First: The National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, has never—N-E-V-E-R—made a donation to the school. In 1923, the Convention put on a drive for $100,000 with the announcement that whatever was raised would be divided among the seven or eight boards. We received ten dollars as our pro rata from this drive. It was the first and only gift ever received from the National Baptist Convention. Second: I have never been asked to lay the claims of the National Training School for Women and Girls before the National Baptist Convention. But for the interest taken by a few of the State Conventions, the great churches pastored by great and good men of clear vision, women's organizations of Baptist and other denominations, and individual friends, the Training School would still be a thing on paper. (Continued on page 5) listed in Indianapolis, Ind., in January, 1880, and was assigned to the 24th infantry. In 1887 he was transferred to the Tenth Cavalry, later he became a saddler sergeant. During the Spanish-American war while on detached service he was promoted to a second lieutenancy of the 9th United States volunteers raised in New Orleans, La. He was later made a first lieutenant of the 48th United States volunteers. He was finally retired at San Francisco, Cal., 1908, since which time he has lived in Washington. Mr. Smith is prominent in fraternal circles. He is the brigadier general of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias, commanding the department of the District of Columbia and is also the Grand Keeper of the Records and Seals of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia. He is a member of the trustee board of the Morning Star Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W. THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC W. H. C. Brown, Secretary and General Manager of Federal Loan Federal Loan Officers Meet; Secretary and Gen'l Manager Is Dean of Race Bankers Officers of the Federal Finance and Loan Corporation met here this week for the purpose of completing final details for beginning business here. A charter has been issued to the company in Delaware and all necessary details have been worked out for opening offices. All officers of the company were present: namely, Attorney L. M. King, president; S. H. Dudley, treasurer; Chas. E. Mitchell, auditor and W. H. C. Brown, secretary and general manager. This company has been organized to meet a definite need in this section. It has an authorized capital of $100,000 with no stock for sale. It will feature all kinds of loans in any denomination. Its credit will be sufficient to handle any transaction. The important post of General Manager has been placed in the hands of a Negro banker and financier, W. H. C. Brown of Newport News, Va. formerly of this city. Mr. Brown is recognized as a genius in his line. He has put over some of the biggest deals ever handled by a Negro, of which one of the more recent was the buying of the whole town of Truxton, Va. from the Government. Mr. Brown was born in Charles City County, Virginia. He received his grammar, high school and Normal school training in the public schools of Harrisburg, Ohio. At the close of his training, he returned to his home and taught for four years in the county schools. He then entered the Law School of Howard University from which he graduated. He was admitted to the bar and practiced here for seven years. He was duly certified in the rolls of Attorneys in the state of Virginia. He served six years as Inspector of U. S. Customs at Newport News, Va.; for five years he was accountant in the office of the Auditor of the Post Office Department. In 1911 he became managing director of Brown Office: 920 U St., N.W. CE BANKERS General Manager of Federal Loan Officers Meet; Gen'l Manager of Race Bankers Savings Bank, Norfolk, Va., which bank was named for him. Since this time he has been engaged in the banking and investment business in Norfolk, Newport News and Washington. Mr. Brown served as Fiscal Agent for Life Insurance companies of Atlanta, Ga., and Washington, D.C., and in like capacity for the Masonic Temple Corporation of Jacksonville, Fla., and the Pythian Grand Lodge Corporation of Virginia. His advice and services have been sought by hundreds of business men. In 1924, he organized a group of business men together and took over from the U. S. Housing Corporation, the Government built town of Truxton, 'Va. This town comprised 248 houses. The financing of this proposition, (changing the contracts of the home buyers into deeds.) is considered one of the best pieces of financing ever accomplished by Negroes. The purchase price of the town was $242,000. In the spring of 1924, Mr. Brown was selected by President Coolidge to serve on the commission which visited the Virgin Islands. In recognition of his ability, he was made Disbursing Officer for the commission. On this commission he served without pay. Mr. Brown, while he will not move his family here from Newport News, will however, spend most of the time here. He has taken up quarters here and will take active charge of the corporation's business. SON BORN TO MR. & MRS. THOMAS A seven pound son was born to Professor Charles M.

LANKFORD ALLEGES KNIGHTS OF JERUSALEM BROKE CONTRACT J. A. LANKFORD ALLEGES KNIGHTS OF JERUSALEM BROKE CONTRACT J. A. Lankford, of 1448 Q. Street, Northwest, architect for the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is suing the Nimrod Supreme Lodge Encampment, Ancient Order of Knights and Daughters of Jerusalem, A. G. W. Gaines, its Supreme Grand General, and Norris Riley, Past Supreme Grand General and chairman of the trustee board. He alleges a breach of contract and asks for damages in the amount of $86,200. He says that he had a contract with this fraternal organization to perform architectural services in drawing plans and making specifications for the remodeling of its building at 1607 and 1609 Eleventh Street, Northwest, and to supervise the construction work during the remodeling. He claims that this organization has neglected and refused to provide the necessary finances for the remodeling according to the plans and specifications, which he prepared, and he has lost his commission for his services. He also charges malicious prosecution. After the breach of the contract, he says, the fraternal organization, in an effort to cover up its wrong and cause it to appear that the failure to remodel was due to the fault of himself, instituted a suit against him charging him with breach of contract. Mr. Lankford claims that he was libelled. He says that the defendants published, or caused to be published, after the breach of the contract, certain false and libellous statements, in which they charged that he was guilty of false representations in that he could secure the defendants corporation a construction loan. He further charges that the suit filed against him was not brought for the purpose of recovering damages but for the purpose of maliciously bringing pressure to bear upon him to make him inform upon and make false accusations against certain members of this fraternal organization to the effect that they were given a cash consideration in the form of a bribe to secure their ratification of his contract. He is represented by Attorneys Houston and Houston. M. M. Harris Donates 25 Y Memberships M. M. Harris Donates 25 Y Memberships Mortimer M.

Approximately 50,000 tickets were distributed among the Blue Lodges and the Eastern Star Chapters, and only one-tenth of the returns were in at the close of the affair, which made it impossible to dispose of the automobile on the last night as advertised. However, arrangements have been made with the manager of the Lin- coin Colonnade, Mr. Charles E. Lane, through the courtesy of Mr, William A. Graves, to hold the distribution of prizes, including the automobile, at the Lincoln Colonnade on Saturday, April 11, at 8 pm. sharp. All per- sons holding tickets, and all persons who purchased tickets for the affair, are requested’ to be present punctual- ly at that hour in order to share in the dispositions to be made. All per- sons holding stubs or coupons with the name and addresses of ticket pur- chasers are requested to turn them in to Mr. Addison W. Chapman, 932 S Street, Northwest, Phone North 4964, before April 10th. It is the consensus of opinion that Convention Hall has never presented such a gorgeous appearance as it di¢ during the’ week of carnival and mirth, Flags of all nations were fes. tooned and draped throughout. the length of the hall, and the walls were lined with gaily decorated booths and concession stands, and the beautiful costumes of the various participating organizations gave the whole specta- cle the appearance of a Roman holi- day. Too much credit cannot be given to the Oliver Brothers who promoted this [stat as they certainly lived up to every stipulation in their contract |with the Masonic fraternity. The |Worfshipful Masters, Wardens, and jand Seeretaries of the sixtéen sub- ordinate lodges, who compose the Temple Builders Executive Council, also come in for a large share of praise, as they were on the job every |night dyring: the week looking: out for the interests of the Craft, under the jcapable leadership of the president, Addison W.

PAGE FOUR The Alcoes an Teams Well-Matched For Final Clash The deciding game for the basketball championship between the Alcoes and Carlisle will be played on Friday night, April 10th at the Casino. The teams now stand at one all. The Alcoes won the opening game by a one-point margin while Carlisle took Tuesday's by a two-point margin. Never in history have the teams been so evenly matched. It would not be all surprising to see the Carlisles enter the game slight favorites. Carlisles Come Back To Even Series With thirty seconds to go and the score tied, Tim Braddie caged a basket from near mid-floor, giving Carlisle the necessary advantage to score a 31-29 victory over the Alcoes. It was a great uphill battle all the way, the score being tied on nine occasions. The first half ended with Carlisle leading, 14 to 11. Both coaches switched and juggled their line-ups frequently to maintain the fast pace and wear out the opponent. The guarding of both teams was almost deadly. Trigg lead in scoring with five goals from all angles and positions. Carlson (61) Aloe (22) Ev. Davis ..... R.F. Berry Hill ..... L.F. Turner Coates ..... Center Stewart Braddie ..... R.G.

Inter-Class Track Meet at Howard There is plenty of enthusiasm at Howard over the inter-class track meet that will be held on April 11th. Upward of a hundred athletes will take the field on that day. A loving cup will go to the winning class. The inter-class meet will be made an annual affair and is expected to do much to raise the spirit of the institution. On April 18th the collegiate and medical departments will compete on the track. These two meets will lead up to the championships on May 2 and when all of the leading colleges—outside of the Association—and high schools will compete. Dehart Hubbard, the sensational broadjumper and dash man of the University of Michigan, will be the special attraction. Ned Gourdin, the former Harvard star is also entered. This meet promises to rival the fall "classic" as the seasons' big feature. ANOTHER LOCAL PRODUCT Bobby Dean, a former local sandlot performer, will wear a Harrisburg uniform this season. Eastern What Bacharachs R Bacharach, Giants Should M Brooklyn Royal Giants July 6-7 B Lincoln Giants July 20-21 Tennis Club To Get Early Start Membership Fees Reduced Arrangements for an early opening of the local tennis season were made at a meeting of the James E. Walker Club held last night. The Club's courts are to be put in condition within the next two weeks and it is expected that there will be quite a number of members out to start the seasonal grind. The club has begun its drive for an increase in its membership. This drive is to last for a period of one month. Membership fees have been reduced considerably and due to this reduction it is believed that there will be many who will take advantage of the reduced fee. Brown Reinstated According to a letter received by the secretary of the James E. Walker Club, the American Tennis Association has terminated the suspension of Edgar G. Brown, former national singles champion. Mr. Brown has been reginstated in good standing in the national association and will be permitted to participate in the annual tournament to be held at Bordentown, N. J. n August. Hilldale Club Prepares For Opening The championship Hildale Club will open the Eastern Colored League season at Darby on April 25th opposing the Harrisburg Giants. Three new men have been added to the team's roster. They are Terrell, a southpaw from the Chicago Giants, Washington, a Texas infielder formerly with the A. B. C. Club and Bill Robinson, infielder. The pitching staff will include "Nimp" Winters, "Script" Lee, "Bullet" Campbell, Ryan Currie, Terrell and Cockrell. Joe Lewis, Mackey, and Santop will receive the offerings of the slabmen. The infield will be composed of Carr, Warfield, Stevens, Judy Johnson, Washington and Robinson. The garden will be taken care of by Briggs, G. Johnson and Thomas. The Hilldale Park has been enlarged and improved. The right field bleachers that formerly necessitated ground rules will be renvoed to center field, a point 320 feet from the home plate. WEST VA. BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT By F. A. Parker The recent basketball tournament, held at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, was something of a novelty in Negro athletics. The entire affair was run off without a hitch. In spite of the fact that it was the first tournament of its kind at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, everything operated like clockwork, with no delays, and not one tie-up. Both players and coaches exhibited a brand of sportsmanship which would do credit to anyone anywhere. The next event of the association will be the annual track and field meet to be held May 16, also at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. ribune es Meet In Howard Opens Season With Storer Today Coach Burr will send the Howard University nine against Storer College team this afternoon (Saturday) at 3 p.m. Eight regulars of last year's team which closed the season with a victory over the Japs, are again in harness. Many promising rookies are also on hand. LINCOLN TO CROSS BATS WITH CLAFLIN Orangeburg, S. C., March 28—Extensive preparations are being made to entertain the University baseball team, when it comes to play Claflin University of Orangeburg, S. C., the only stop in the State. HUBBARD EQUALS WORLD'S RECORD Ann Arbor, Mich., March 28—Dehart Hubbard, the sensational University of Michigan, athlete, featured the indoor dual meet here tonight between Michigan and Cornell by equalling the world's indoor 60-yard dash record covering the distance in 6 1-5 seconds. Hubbard's favorite event, the running broad jump was not on the program but in addition to his record-equalling feat, he also finished first in the 65-yard low hurdle event in 7 5-10 seconds. Hubbard is scheduled to appear in Washington at the Howard University track meet on May 2. RUBE FOSTER WARNS Rube Foster, manager of the famed American Giants, has warned other managers of the Negro National League that he is out for the pannant. About 25 players reported to Rube for practice last Wednesday. Few veterans were in this lot. CLAFLIN LOSES TO ALLEN Orangeburg, S.C., March 26—Claflin University of Orangeburg, S.C., traveled to Columbia, S.C., today to meet Allen and Benedict College in a series of three games, and lost the first by costly errors to Allen University by a baseball score of 9-8. BENEDICT DEFEATS CLAFLIN Columbia, S.C., March 28—This afternoon on Benedict's Athletic Park, Claflin University of Oranbegurg, S.C., lost a second game of a series of three, arranged as entertainment for the Palmetto State Teachers' Association, to Benedict College by a score of 8 to 2. HITTING THE BULL'S EYE AT THE ATLAS RIFLE Anthony Williams is regarded as the best marksman that performs at the Atlas Rifle Range, 808 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Thirteen straight hits is his record. Charlie Lane, Lincoln Theatre manager, scored eight straights. Andrew Griffin has increased his mark from 5 out of 16 to 13 out of 16. "Freck" Boone, F. W. Fields, and Pomery Brown have counted 9 in 16 times. William Butler rang the bell seven successive times. D. W. Gary has a high ranking of 11 in 16. Wide interest is being manifested in this new sport. Prizes are awarded to the best marksman. que Schedule for 1 Black Sox Potomacs Harrisburg May 24-24 June 14-14 July 26-26 June 1-3 Aug. 10-12 May 18-19 July 3-4-4 Aug. 28-29 May 10-10 July 12-12 Aug. 30-30 May 11-13 July 8 Aug.31-Sep.2 May 25-26 July 13-14 July 8-9 Aug. 19-20 May 18 June 15-17 July 6 July 31 Sept. 4-5 St. Paul to Play 13 Baseball Games (By St. Paul Publicity Bureau) Lawrenceville, Va., April 2nd—St. Paul's 1925 baseball schedule surpasses those of former years in that the Tigers will meet all schools of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association in a home and home game. Schedule April 3, Union at Lawrenceville; April 11, Va. Normal at Lawrenceville; April 13 (Easter Monday) N. C. State at Lawrenceville; April 16, Va.

Fifty-seven agile and determined youngsters responded to his call, but through the usual process of elimination the regular squad has been reduced to twenty-two, the maximum number to enjoy the privileges of varsity athletics. Alpha Easily Trims Omega in Final The Alpha Phi Alpha quintet regained the local fraternity championship by taking the second straight game of the series from the Omega Psi Chi cagers at the Casino, Saturday, 21 to 12. Neither team displayed the high brand of basketball that was brought out in the initial encounter. Numerous easy shots were missed by both fives. Wheatland and Washington led the winners' attack while Trigg and Meroney proved to be powerful on defense. Goff, Nurse and Carter gallantly held up the Omega banner until they weakened in the final few minutes of play. Alpha(21) Omega(12) Banks ..... R.F. Mickey F. Trigg ..... L.F. Lee Carpenter ..... Center Goff Meroney ..... R.G. Nurse K. Trigg ..... L.G. Carter Substitutes: Alpha—Washington, Wheatland, Morrow, Brooks, Lawton, Omega—Freeman, Blackman, Mar- shall. Field goals—Wheatland 4, Washington 2, Lawton 2, Freeman 2, Goff 2. Goals from fouls—Banks, 1 in 1; Meroney 1 in 1; Washington, 1 in 3; Wheatland, 1 in 4; Lawton, 1 in 4; Lee, 1 in 2; Goff, 1 in 3; Nurse, 2 in 3. Score first half—Alpha 8, Omega 6. Officials—Messrs. Gibson and Burr. Lawton to Lead How Cagers William Lawton of Asbury, N.J. has been elected to lead next year's Howard basketball team. Lawton received his early training at Asbury and Dunbar high schools. The captain-elect was the leading scorer of the season. Addy Jackson of Springfield, Mass. has been elected to manage the team Jackson was a guard on the regular string. Basketball Notes This has been an Alpha Phi Alpha year on the basketball courts. At Nashville the Alpha quintet defeated Omega in the deciding game 7 to 6. The frat championship of Boston also went to the Alphas at Omega's expense, 28 to 16. Of course, we know what happened in Washington. The crowd that saw the Omega-Alpha game Saturday was about as big as any that ever saw a local game. The Senegals again proved their superiority over the Elite Panthers, winning the preliminary Tuesday night, 25 to 23. Washington, star center of the Alpha quintet is one of the most promising players in the city. He is a Dunbar product and is also a member of the Howard varsity. Coach Burr expects to have a classy five "on the hill" next season. Captain Morrow through graduation and Cobbs and McCoy, for disciplinary reasons, will be the only losses. The ban on the later pair may be lifted by next season. Don't forget the "Y" drive is on. It is your duty to be a member. Plans are on foot to make the "Y" what it should be. Look over these guards and take your choice as to all-star class: Trigg, Harris, Braddic, Jones, Nurse, Carter, and Meroney. This column slipped up in naming the winner last week, therefore, we will rest on the fence for the deciding game on the 10th between the Carlisle and Alco teams. "Mose" Morris, former Alco guard, is the latest aspirant for a referee's job. Oneal, of the Kelly Miller High School led all scorers in the West Virginia tournament with 56 points. Mitchell of Kimball ranked second with 51 points. The Teddy Bear baseball team was well represented at the Alco-Carlisle game. Ben Fells, Ed Barner, Johnnie Mac Tatum, and Peck Banks took the period between halves to tell what the Bears will do this season. We will see. Eastern Colored League Announces Baseball Schedule Due to the traveling clubs in the circuit and the fact that same of the clubs have but one day per week at the home parks, it will be necessary to make several minor changes or additions to the 1925 schedule in order to effect a 70-game layout for each team. To arrange suitable dates several of the clubs have leased extra parks, some of the Lincoln Giants' games with other clubs will be played at Chester, Pa., while Hilldale will play at Norristown, Pa., the Harrisburg Giants at Lancaster, Pa., and some games between the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Cuban Stars with other league clubs will be played at Jersey City International League Park. These extra dates will of course have to be arranged to fit in when the parks are available. The commissioners will set a date and introduce a rule that will throw out the games of any club that fails to play a set quota of games within the time limit. This will eliminate the chance of a club having the highest percentage, yet being far behind another club in the number of games played. This condition nearly occurred last season when Hillaldale, the pennant winners led the Baltimore Black Sox by a narrow.margin and the Philadelphia team had played its full number of games, while Baltimore had many unplayed games, but the Hillaldale Club maintained its lead. LAWSON LOOKS PROMISING "Bob" Lawson, the sensational light-heavyweight fighter who recently knocked out Kid Norfolk in less than a round is only twenty-two years old and has already scored fifteen knock-outs. None of the country's leading white light-heavies want any of Lawson's punishment.

PREJUDICE IN AUSTRALIA Ansel Bell, the New York bantamweight who used to fight under the name of Kid Butler, arrived in America last week after a six-months' stay in Australia, China, Japan and the Philippines. Bell claims that there is as much prejudice in Australia as in the southern part of the United States. Learn Mechanics EARN FROM $35.00 BARKER SCHOOL OF M 1359 U Street, N.W.

From SmallBeginning School Now Has Com- glete Modern Plant (Continued from page 1) friends will be a real tonic. I have given my life for my race—all of my time, my limited talent, my strength and my earnings. I have sacrificed everything to build the Training School. Unless you and other friends give or solicit help, the school for which I have given my life will suffer. In fact, it is now suffering for money of money to meet pressing obligations. My heart and mind are greatly troubled, and I am making this public appeal because I do not feel that I can stand the strain. I have prayed day and night for Divine guidance in this crisis. The answer has come: "Pour out your heart to the people; tell them, and they will respond." These words have come to me over and over during the past two months. I am now obeying the command, and I shall leave the result with you and God. I have served my whole race unreservedly. To all of my friends who would have any flowers or words of praise to give when I am dead, I am saying frankly that a few words of cheer while I can hear them, and a dollar or more to be used in building up this work, will be of greater value than great eulogies and sweeter than a million roses when I cannot hear the words nor swell the fragrance of the flowers. Do not wait until I am gone, and then chisel into marble love's warm words on ice cold stone. What you, and I, and all others who are trying to help our race, need, is more practical cooperation in life. I love the school and the race well enough to go from door to door and plead the cause of each, but I would not have the strength to do anything else. We have no endowment nor permanent income. I think our friends want to help lift this heavy load. These are our needs: First—Money with which to pay several notes that are past due. Creditors are pressing us. The amount is $8,000. There are a number of open accounts that must be paid. The amount is $5,000. Third—The Heating Plant is on the grounds. We have no money with which to install it, but it must be put in. The contractor is insisting that the work be begun. It takes $12,000 to execute the contract. We have splendid credit because we keep our promises with business men who extend us credit. Our obligations must be met. Will you give what you can and tell your friends about our great need and the crisis we now face? I cannot bear this burden alone. Please—Please—Please help! Please—Please—Please help: If we can get from under this Heating Plant, these notes and these bills, the future of our school is secure. The school will be a benediction to the race if we can get the support that the work deserves. Churches, organizations and individual friends—please help us! NANNIE H. BURROUGHS On Sunday the 29th, Women's Day was held at the Brentwood A.M.E. Zion Church, Brentwood, Md. A very effective program including addresses, solos and duets was presented. At this service which was held at 3 o'clock p.m., $26 was raised.

Fourth: For my services as Corresponding Secretary as president, the Woman's Convention and the Trustee Board owe me about six years' back salary. I have made the sacrifice—used my earnings—not because I was able—but because my heart is in the work—and I always have been and always will be—to do anything that is honorable to keep it going. False reports and miselading statements hurt the Training School and do not help the National Baptist Convention. People want the truth. If we were able to receive that hand-some sum of money, let me tell you what we would do: Get some one to lock us up for several days and have a Thanksgiving Meeting behind closed doors, because if we were to get out, we would run up and down the street like a crazy woman, crying to the top of our voices, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!" Second, we would summon all of our creditors to meet on Lincoln Heights, and, amid thanksgiving and check writing, we would pay the last one of them off. Third, we would put in the Central Heating Plant and an eighty-horse power boiler. Fourth, we would make necessary repairs. Fifth, we would apply ten thousand dollars on what is due us for back salary and go on account of a loan which we made the institution several years ago.

A gift of $73,000 would make the National Training School bloom and blossom, and would add twenty-five years to the life of its president. Many of us heard the late Doctor Booker T. Washington's story about the Negro who was asked by a white man to change $20. The Negro replied, "Ah ain't got twenty cents, boss, but ah thanks you for the compliment jest the same." The National Training School has not received seventy-three cents from the National Baptist Convention, and the Convention certainly should thank whoever reported the fabulous sum "for the compliment jest the same." Whoever wrote that release should be elected president of the National Convention of Annaniasses and Saphiras. Yours in the Service, (Signed) NANNINE H. BURROUGHS. Y.W.C.A.

Stafford of the District Supreme Court, today awarded custody of Morris Moore, a five year old illegitimate child, to Mrs. Josephine Miller, of 2841 Sheridan Road, Southeast. Two Women Claimed Child The boy was claimed by two women, neither of whom was his mother. Both contended that the child had been given to her, and to settle the question of the rightful custody they resorted to the courts. Mrs. Maude Jones, of 2809 Jasper Street, Southeast, had actual possession of the boy from June 16, 1924, until today. Mrs. Miller, through Attorney John H. Wilson, petitioned the court for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that Mrs. Jones was wrongfully detaining the child. Morris Moore was born out of wedlock on February 8, 1919. His mother was named Elsie Moore. Her present whereabouts are unknown. She was too poor to provide for him properly and in order that he might have a chance in life and be given a home, Mrs. Miller told the court, she left him with a Mrs. Ellen Jones with instructions that she find him a suitable home. In accordance with the request of the boy's mother, Mrs. Miller said, Mrs. Ellen Jones gave the child to her and she took him into her home and provided him with the necessities of life for a period of five years, when Mrs. Maude Jones took the boy on June 16, 1924, and claimed him as her own.

She denied that she was not a proper person to have the custody of boy. She said that she was approximately 50 years old and has lived her lifetime in Anacostia and for the last 25 years has been engaged in the grocery business. She was represented by Attorneys James A. O'Shea and John I. Sacks. The testimony showed that Mrs. Josephine Miller worked out and left the child in the custody of Mrs. Martha Moore, a relative, who is now dead. In the absence of Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Moore would take the child to the store of Mrs. Maude Jones, who gave him candy and grew to be very fond of him. Upon the death of Mrs. Martha Moore, Mrs. Maude Jones took the boy and the legal battle for his custody began. "Morris Jones is an exceptionally nice boy," says his teacher. Mrs. Maude Jones entered him in school at the beginning of the term last September. He is in 1-B class. "This Mrs. Jones has certainly cared for the child splendidly," she added, "and shows every indication of very good PAGE FIVE His teacher testified in court that he had been entered in school by Mrs. Jones and that she had never seen Mrs. Miller before. He attends the Birney school. H. U.

I read with interest and satisfaction all that you published about Robert Moton of Tuskegee. It was my hope that not a member of the race would attend the meeting at which he was to speak. The time has come when all self-respecting members of the race should ignore men with a record, as concerns his race, like his. I now cheerfully send my subscription to The Tribune, a loyal race paper. Yours truly, E. M. HEWLETT, Attorney-at-Law PAGE SIX Washington, D. C., by ONE PUBLISHING Co., Inc.

Read Our Classified Ads on Page 7 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 We experience a bit of comfort when we open the newspaper and learn what mysterious secrets the chemists are finding in the atom day by day and what pre-historians are digging out of fossil animals and ruined cities. It is reassuring because science, to-day, makes discoveries at such a horrendous rate that one becomes alarmed lest there be nothing new for coming generations to discover. There is no dark blotch left on the map to mark the unknown heart of Africa (but there is one to show the prejudiced, un-Christian heart of America); both poles have been tagged, and Everest is all but conquered; the black fox has ceased to be a rare freak of the forest and is bred by the thousands on Prince Edward Island; the desolate Alaska barrens have become discoverers that he has grown up too late to realize his ambitions of Indian adventures. Then comes some scientist and finds new worlds to conquer. Some of you have complained of William Beebe that he is not the discoverer of the bottom of the ocean, and that the Sargasso Sea had been explored before. Such complaints will go to the waste-heap where lie the learned essays proving that Columbus did not discover America or that Lincoln purposely gave the Negro freedom, or that Morse did not invent the telegraph. Columbus when he returned to Europe, told the world of his discoveries in such terms that it could not forget; Leif Ericson's adventures were forgot. If Beebe makes the delicate sponge forms and the weird monsters of the ocean floor seem as plausible to readers as a butterfly or a rhinoceros, he will have won a right to the credit for it, even though scientific journals long ago printed detailed descriptions of most of his specimens. There are always new worlds to conquer, and there always will be. Our scientists boasted magnificently of their success in predicting the eclipse, but no one of them foretold the earth's tremor which shook New England. With the aid of Muscle Shoals, we can make nitrate from the air, but we can not yet store the vast surplus of solar heat which goes to waste each summer, nor harness the mighty power of the tides. We do not even know what lies on the face of the moon which is turned away from us, much less what forms of life may revel in the orbits of the distant stars. We have tramped all over the thin crust of the earth, but we have only begun to read, a foot or two beneath its surface, the record of our ancestors struggling to explore the path toward what we have come to call "civilization." In sailing barks and steamships and oil-burning Diesel vessels, we have covered thousands of miles of the sea's surface; and one is just awakening to the fact that a mile or two beneath the familiar waves live creatures of which we know virtually nothing. More romance lies ahead; there is less danger, indeed, of the world losing romance than of its having no one to paint the colors of scientific adventure so that he who runs may read. "I am ready to meet Harry Wills," says Dempsey, "or any other fighter as soon as I am promised dough enough for the match. I don't hold a license to box in New York. I don't see how the Boxing Commission can take this action and keep a straight face. I wish they would quit kidding me and start talking business." Dempsey does not realize that neither the commission nor the public has ever been more sincere in its demands. Harry Wills has been harassing him since 1919, when Willard tasted defeat at Dempsey's hands; issuing challenge after challenge. Wills is, unquestionably, the most logical contender for the title. Furthermore the New York Boxing Commission recognizes Wills as the first to meet its requirements by depositing a $2,500 forfeit with his challenge. Crippling Dempsey's ring activities by placing him on the ineligible list and interdicting promoters and fighters from doing business with him was the most judicious act the commission could make, in view of the fact that Dempsey is using the "championship" for exploitation. He should either accept Wills's challenge or be forced to retire.

Missing him since 1919, when Willard tails; issuing challenge after challenge, the most logical contender for the MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams WOMEN OF 36 LANDS TO HEAR NEGRO AND OTHER MUSIC When the sixth quinquennial convention of the International Council of Women opens next month in this city, delgates of 36 countries, speaking for more than 36,000,000 women, will be in attendance. It is described as the largest and most important gathering of women ever held in the world. Among the many prominent features of the Washington convention will be that of Music. Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, famous contralto will sing. Phases of American music featuring demonstrations of Negro, Indian and leading white composers will be a distinguished feature of the quinquennial. Artists of distinction will vie together in a notable music evening program including representatives of the race in Negro spirituals. In this connection it would not be amiss to read what the dean of American Negro composers, Harry T. Burleigh, has to say: "The plantation songs known as 'spirituals' are the spontaneous outbursts of intense religious fervor, and had their origin chiefly in camp meetings, revivals and other religious exercises. "They were never 'composed,' but sprang into life, ready made, from the white heat of religious fervor during some protracted meeting in camp or church, as the simple, ecstatic utterance of wholly untutored minds, and are practically the only music in America which meets the scientific definition of Folk Song. "Success in singing these Folk Songs is primarily dependent upon deep spiritual feeling. The voice is not nearly so important as the spirit; and then rhythm, for the Negro's soul is linked with rhythm, and it is an essential characteristic of most' all the Folk Songs. "It is a serious misconception of their meaning and value to treat them as 'minstrel' songs, or to try to make them funny by a too literal attempt to imitate the manner of the Negro in singing them, by swaying the body, clapping the hands, or striving to make the peculiar inflections of voice that are natural with the colored people. Their worth is weakened unless they are done impressively, for thru all these songs there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice and brotherhood of man. The cadences of sorrow invariably turn to joy, and the message is ever manifest that eventually deliverance from all that hinders and oppresses the soul will come, and man. . . every man. . . will be free."

John Powell's "Negro Rhapsody" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony" are citations to the fact. Negro composers themselves have possibly done more than those of other races in giving essence to this strictly racial music. The spiritual arrangement of "Deep River" by Burleigh is regarded as an American "classic" in the music world and it has been imitated by several white composers. Nathaniel R. Dett's recent compositions are also winning laurels and Carl Diton's organ arrangement of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" has been acclaimed by noted music critics as one of the finest organ selections of any American composer. Clarence Cameron White's arrangement of spirituals should not be forgotten nor those of J. Rosamond Johnson whose works have had a large hearing. Will Marion Cook's compositions are characteristically Negro offerings of wholesome taste and varied fabric. The Work Brothers of Fisk University are pioneers in works of Negro origin and a few others might be mentioned. Coleridge-Taylor immortalized a set of spirituals in his book of piano transcriptions that are charmingly done. Some of our people scorn the spirituals as a product of the race but we have as much right to feel proud of them as an heritage of the race as do the Irish, Hungarian, Italian, German, Russian, and other nationalities of their own racial melodies. NEGRO VIOLINIST PLEASES CROWD Joseph H. Douglass of Washington is meeting with much success in the State of Tennessee on his present recital tour as attested in the following news item from the "Daily Chronical" (white) of Johnson City, Tenn., as follows: "Negro violinist pleases crowd, Joseph H. Douglass of Washington, well known Negro violinist, gave a program of entertaining calibre at the Municipal building on Friday evening before a large audience, the majority of whom were of the colored race, but with many white people enjoying the program. Douglass plays with precision, an acuracy of tone and a feeling of rythm, and his interpretation is remarkable both in the masters and in lighter compositions. His playing has a characteristic originality which it attracting, marking him as probably the leader of his race in this art."

He invents a net for catching fish,.and applies to the government of the ‘Thousand Islands for a patent, prohibiting. oth- ers from using a let unless they make terms with him. Exehange What is the result? By working an average of one hour a-day, the fisher- man accomplishes more than when he worked all day. In order to keep everyone satisfied he gives a few more fish in exchange for his lumber, game and cloth. “However, he has so-many fish that he extends his field of trade. Lumber, game and cloth are delivered to him in large quantities by more than a,score of islanders to whom he supplies fish. Being compelled to work only an hour a day, he uses-his ‘idle time to construct a fine house, to make many suits of clothes, and to ‘salt down his surplus meat.

It has been suggested, how- ver, that is was very probably the storm in the breast of the young clergyman rather than the one out side that was responsible for the wri- ting of the word, for it was just at this time that the well-known “Six X Ford Movement” in England, the ter- RADIO A CRYSTAL SET LOUDSPEAKER By Rufus P. ‘Tarner—3LF Doubtless, you have often wished bat your crystal set could suceess- ully operate a loudspeaker and fill a ‘oom with the wonderful and mystie nusic, Possibly you have gone so far 5 to connect an ordinary loudspeaker ‘9 your erystal-reeeiver only to find hat the desired results could not be abtained.

No, 3 is a tungsten wire which may be obtained at most any electrical. supply house; and the carbon may be secured from an old burnt-out dry cell battery. Fasten the earbon to a strip of springy brass (No. 5) as shown in the diagram, and secure the other end of the strip to the wooden orbakelite base. Directly back of the earbon is a small adjusting nut (No. 4) which is held by an angular piece of brass (No. 6). ‘The brass is threaded to admit the shaft of the adjusting’ nut which is miso threaded, © 'l!' ‘The purpose of the nut is to regu- late the pressure of the carbon on the tungsten spring or vice versa. The phone is held by a wooden block so that the spring is just high enough to touch the carbon in the same manner as the catwhisker touches the crystal in a erystal re- ceiver. A radio “B” battery unit—(4% volts)—is obtained and connected as shown in the diagram. The loudspeaker may be one of or- dinary design and build, but the low- resistance type is preferable if one is to secure the best results. To adjust the instrument, connect the aerial and ground to the crystal set as usual and tune-in until you hear a bit of faint musie’issuing from the loudspeaker, then serew in the ad- justing nut until the music grows louder and louder. Sometime it may be necessary to make the spring touch a different part of the piece of carbon. In conclusion, I+ might state that this instrument is one which must be carefully built and equally as care- fully operated if the best results are desired. The battery will deteriorate rather slowly—the average life in the loudspeaker instrument will be about one month.

The band is under the direction of Prof. Elsie Hoffman, assisted by Mr. Eugene Jackson. Well we have started and we are going to have a real band. Why? Because we have the best director in town. We have nearly sixty good, willing young musicians and we have the backing of the Second District Commandery. Some thirty men reported at the inspection. This band will serve an edifying purpose on various occasions such as laying of corner-stones, dedication of churches and schools, memorial masses, and other ceremonies and civic parades. In the past we have had to hire bands, and surely our organization is big enough and big-hearted enough to have and to support a band. In the future, if you are requested to help this band along don't hesitate, as it is a most worthy cause, and in the meantime, help these boys by boosting the Knights of St. John. Col.

The State of Maryland ```markdown ``` Rev. Deener in Letter Exonerates His Wife Rev. William W. Deener, who, according to a story in The Tribune week before last, denied his wife's charges in her suit for divorce, has written a letter to his wife in which he exonerates her of all blame. The letter was written March 31, and is as follows: I want the people to know that my wife is an ideal Christian woman and that I have treated her wrong. I met her as a clean Christian and she has lived the life everywhere she has traveled. I made my mistakes in life; I caused her to have the temper of which I accuse her, but it was my fault. I have regretted everything that has caused her the humiliation and sorrow that I have caused her to suffer. She has been everything to me in this life that a woman could be; she is a God-called, spirit-filled woman preacher, who tries to treat every one right. Being a preacher myself, I was haunted with my conscience, knowing I could not make a success without confessing my wrong treatment to her. She had long patience with me and suffered much to help me. I was the sole cause of her taking the steps she did in the divorce proceedings, but we have gotten together and reconciled and she as a Christian has forgiven me, which I am very happy to know, and have dismissed the divorce case. There is no way on earth to defeat a praying woman—one who stays at the feet of Jesus, and my wife surely has power with God. Now, I want the people to forgive me, as an open confession is good for the soul. She is not the blame for everything.

Cooking Hints For Every Housewife By Samuel M. King, Chef, Hotel Roosevelt (Continued from last week) Art is not confined to the painting of beautiful pictures, nor the composing of musical classics. There is art as well as subtle psychology in preparing for the selection of one's guest, a new dish, a creation as perfect as a pearl or a polished jewel. The experienced chef or caterer realizes the importance of this, knowing it brings to him the patronage of the most desirable members of society, for having sampled the delights of his cuisine, they will regard it as their own discovery realizes the importance of this, knowing it brings to him the patronage of the most desirable members of society, for having sampled the delights of his cuisine, they will regard it as their own discovery, and proudly disclose it to their friends. As for the hostess, she knows that the charms of her home or public entertainments are greatly enhanced by the proper serving of rare and palatable viands. Good sales are perhaps the most essential part of a Luncheon, Dinner or Supper Party, and they are the most difficult to prepare unless one knows exactly what kind is suitable to accompany certain foods, and just how to go about preparing it; whether one be an expert or an amateur menu-maker, it is a subject indeed worth while. No Dinner is complete without a salad—a salad should always be served with the roast at dinner, and is also desirable with cold meats, game, poultry, and gelatine; with fish, cucumbers is generally served. Supreme of fruit, fruit cocktails or stuffed tomatoes are always served as the first course, especially in the summer, and are also nice for afternoon tea parties. Several salads such as Coronation, Pear, or those with cheese, should be served as a special course. All lettuce or romaine should be cleaned, outside leaves removed, and only the firm hearts left. After having the lettuce or romaine washed and chilled in ice cold water; it is best to put same in a dry cloth and shake out well.
