COOLIDGE GIVES KLANSMAN JOB IN PREFERENCE TO NEGRO Elks Hold Biggest Convention in Richmond, Va. Mrs. Howard Seeks to Save Home from Entanglements Of Union Laborers Bank First in Local Circulation. COOLIDGE Elks H Mrs. Howard Sec Home from Of Union Mrs. Ella D. Howard, wife of James W. H. Howard, president of the defunct Union Laborers Savings Bank, through Attorney Wm. H. H. Hart, has secured an order from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia temporarily restraining Charles H. Houston and Samuel M. Dudley, attorneys of 615 F Street, Northwest, from selling property at No. 1715 U Street, Northwest, at public auction. A hearing on the temporary injunction is set for August 31. Mrs. Howard alleges that on August 4, 1924, her husband borrowed $1,350 from Augustus W. Gray, an attorney, of 615 F Street, Northwest, and gave him a promissory note payable on August 3, 1925. To secure payment of the note, she says, she and her husband executed a deed of trust purporting to convey this property, which is owned by them, to Mr Houston and Mr. Dudley as trustees She alleges that the borrowing of this money by her husband was on his own account and that her participation at the request of her husband was solely to secure the payment of her husband's debt, and was an attempt by her in ignorance of her disabilities as a married woman under the laws of the District of Columbia to make a contract as surety for her husband. On August 12, last, she says, Mr. Houston and Mr. Dudley advertised this property for sale. She asks the court to enjoin them from selling the property, and August W. Gray from attempting to enforce any supposed liability on her part on the promissory note. She also asks that her husband be restrained from attempting to convey any property owned by him and her.

The PUBLISHED WEEKLY GE GIVES Hold Big Seeks to Save Entanglements Laborers Bank KLANSMAN GETS SAVANNAH POST OVER NEGROES The appointment of Marion O. Dunning as collector of customs at Savannah, Ga., by President Coolidge, was made upon recommendation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee for Georgia, it was learned. Dunning is the chief of staff of the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in New York last summer and supported William G. McAdoo for the Democratic nomination until the Georgia delegation switched to John W. Davis. After Mr. Davis denounced the Klan, Dunning is said to have changed his politics and supported the Republican cause. When Governor Thomas W. Hardwick, of Georgia, attempted to unmask the Klan through legislation, Dunning represented the Klan interests. Henry Lincoln Johnson is in Richmand attending the Elks' convention and no statement upon the reasons for this appointment was forthcoming from his office to-day. It is understood, however, that there were at least a dozen candidates in the field, among them being Walter S. Scott, a colored banker and insurance man of Savannah. When it became understood that the Georgia Senators would offer personal objections to the confirmation of a colored man for the post, Henry Lincoln Johnson endorsed John E. Monroe of Savannah, but he was not acceptable to the Treasury Department. Dunning and Johnson worked together for Monroe's appointment. W. Y. Gilliam, chairman of the Republican state committee of Georgia, first supported Mayor W. F. Pierpont, and then shifted his endorsement to Jack E. Brantley, of Savannah, who had the backing of Postmaster General New also. Lincoln C. Andrews, assistant secretary, under whom the appointment comes, originally favored the selection of Mayor Pierpont. Mr. Johnson objected and carried his objections to the President at Swampscott, Mass. The President is said to have informed Mr. Johnson that whoever was named for the post would have to have the endorsement of the national committeeman, and it is for that reason that the Dunning appointment is regarded here as a compromise between Mr. Johnson and General Andrews.

Matthews of Boston was in Washington for a day or two enroute to and from the Elks Convention in Richmond. When interviewed by a representative of The Tribune he admitted that representation had already been made to the President looking forward to the possible promotion of one of three Negro consuls now in the service, if the policy of the Government precludes the naming of one of the several well qualified Negroes from civil life—and he states that there are several well qualified men available. He declined further discussion of the matter at this time save for the statement that the groundwork has been laid for some very promising news from the White House early in the Autumn. The decision not to make an early appointment to fill the vacancy in the United States ministership to Haiti (Continued on page 6) is at the head coming to The and through long To the Membership of the Colored Actors Union, Washington, D.

The change relieves the show-folks of the need to wait for a month before receiving authoritative information upon subjects vital to their work and well being. S. H. Dudley, theatrical magnate, conducted negotiations leading to the merger. Incidentally, it may be stated with every assurance that the general public has a very substantial interest in knowing the exact details concerning the people who entertain them. The Tribune is happy to be in a position to provide its readers with this type of news, edited by one who has the personal knowledge, direct contact with the show-world and a fund of first-hand information pertaining to show history and conditions. JOHN MITCHELL'S BANK BUILDING BRINGS $73,000 Richond, Va. (By the Associated Negro Press)—The closing chapter of the history of the once famous, but now defunct, Mechanics Savings Bank under the direction of John Mitchell, Jr., was written last Thursday when the building, which for nearly twenty years housed one of the first and greatest Negro banks in this country, was sold at public auction. This magnificent building, an imposing structure at the corner of Third and Clay Streets, is modern throughout, being well arrayed with splendid banking equipment and business offices on the two upper floors, a roof garden and elevator service. The building brought $75,000. It is believed that this money will be used to help to pay off the 10,000 depositors who lost money when the bank failed three years ago. Dr. Simeon L. Carson, his mother-in-law Mrs. Bealer and Miss Elenora Allen returned Sunday from Colton, where they had spent two weeks. --- JAMES A.

The spacious hall has been completely re-arranged. The first circular dancing floor in this section has been made. This floor is composed of extra hard maple floor which has been polished to a mirror-like smoothness. Surrounding this floor are elevated platforms where spacious box seats afford ample seating accommodations for those who desire to watch the dancers and rest. The orchestra has been moved to the rear end of the hall where special decorations have been provided to stand the musicians out more prominently and to add more to the beauty of the hall. The entire ceiling has been decorated in orange and lemon, with a variation of sunburst and straight lines festooned. This artistic work was done by Harlod Curtis Brown of this city and New York. In the center of the floor a gorgeous water fountain will spray water to a height of three feet, colored by variagated colored lights. On each side of the hall are two large life-size mirrors nearly nine feet wide. The general color scheme of the walls are pea green, cream and gold. Numerous other artistic touches have added to the beauty and comfort of the hall, making it literally a fair-land palace. LEGION MEN SEEK TO STOP SEGRE GATION LEGION MEN SEEK TO STOP SEGRE GATION St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 21-At the recent department convention of the American Legion, a resolution drawn by Jose H. Sherwood of this city, designed to prevent discrimination on account of race in establishing American Legion posts, was presented in the name of the Leslie Lawrence of which he is vice-commander. After a bitter fight it was almost unanimously adopted by the convention. The resolution provides that in the event a department commander or a department executive committee should reject an application for the formation of a post, such an application shall be forwarded to the national headquarters with reasons for the rejection. The resolution also provides for the creation of a board of appeals, which shall finally pass upon all controversies regarding the rejection of an application for establishing a post. The delegates to the national convention of the American Legion from the Department of Minnesota are instructed to propose and work for the adoption of this resolution at the national convention of the American Legion. --- Washington's Best Advertising Medium. O NEGRO ond, Va. e and ials Welcome r Herd to City Richmond, Va. Mid-night, Thursday, Aug. 27 The Convention of Elks was yet involved in business as the Tribune went to press; and election results could, of course not be obtained in time for the issue. Much time was lost in routine matters in the early stages of the convention. Much political jockeying was evident, and this delayed getting down to the more important business. The convention was therefore under severe pressure during the later sessions. This was especially true of the Thursday sessions which ran well into the night. The secretary's report and the discussions it evoked occupied much of the earlier part of that crucial day. This was followed by the report of the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, whose address could have been stopped at any one of three points with an assurance of his re-election so great was the enthusiasm aroused. The regular order of business prevailed however, and elections were put over until Friday. All of the contenders for the place at the head of the big order awakened Friday with claims of assured success.

R. E. Lee, president of the Florida Industrial and Agricultural College at Tallahassee, Fl., was a recent caller at the office of The Tribune. He was en route home from attendance upon sessions of several conventions. While here he discussed Florida with an enthusiasm that was most refreshing; and quite at variance with many stories eminating from the state. He is especially optimistic about the future of the Negro and the educational policy that has been inaugurated by Gov. John W. Martin who approved an appropriation of $555,000, all that President Lee had requested for the college. Little or no opposition was encountered in the legislature when it was learned that Governor Martin had approved the budget presented. Negro labor is in high demand in the state and Prof. Lee discussed some plans that the Governor now has on foot for some measures of very definitely constructive value to the Negroes of the state. He mentioned some remarkable increases in the number of wealthy Negroes and the many who have profited from the recent real estate boom. Mr. Lee was in Washington but one day after which he joined his wife who was vacationing in New York. Both are returning to Florida from there. Jose Sherwood who is the presiding officer of the Lawrence Post of St. Paul was called from the convention by the sudden death of his mother. He is one of the group of Negro Army officers who came from DesMoines school is in the Post Office at St. Paul is prominent in the Shriners and has been the President of the International Conference of Knights Templars. --- SOCIAL & PERSONAL PAGE TWO Mrs. Marian Butler Society Editor Mrs. Marian Butler Society Editor Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Williams of Tuskegee, Ala., were the guests of Mrs. Ellen J.

He simply denied her charges. Mrs. Regina Cooper, his wife, who is now living at 1171% Thomas Street, Northwest, in her bill of complaint filed through Attorney George E. C. Hayes, charged that her husband had failed to support her, had been cruel in his treatment of her, had lavished his attentions upon other women, and finally had been guilty of misconduct. She named a co-respondent. According to Mrs. Cooper, she returned home with two girl companions about 10 o'clock at night on July 21, last and surprised her husband with the co-respondent. Mr. Cooper in his answer denied that he had been guilty of misconduct with the co-respondent and that his wife had witnessed him in a compromising scene on any occasion. He also denied improper relations with other women. He denies that he has ever failed to support his wife or their 7 year old child, Roland. He says that he has always provided for them to the best of his ability. He says in his answer that his wife is a musician and when steadily employed is able to earn approximately $40 a week. He asks the court to deny her motion for alimony and custody of the child and to dismiss her petition for an absolute divorce. He also asks that he be granted permanent custody of the child, whom he now has. Mrs. Evelyn Parrott, of 736 Fairmont Street, Northwest, who is named as the co-respondent in the suit, filed her answer through Attorney Isaiah Lisemby. She denies that she has committed any act of adultery with Rolandus Cooper either at the promises named or on the date mentioned in the bill of emplaint, or at any other time or place. Meantime, the Parrott home with furnishings is reported to be for sale and Charles Parrott, the husband, planning to leave the city. Tues., Wed., Thurs. Fri. and Sat.

Kills Wife and Tries Suicide Kills Wife and Tries Suicide Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 24—A pall was cast over the colored section of this town after the close of the meeting of the National Negro Business League last Friday afternoon when Dr. Plato H. Travis, a dentist, shot and instantly killed his wife, Mrs. Lucille Travis, in the hall of an apartment house, and attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself through the head. Mrs. Travis was at the apartment of Mrs. Carrier Persons, 324 N. Greenwood Avenue. A few minutes before the tragedy, she received a telephone call from her husband. A few minutes later he called for her. She bade friends good-bye and went into the hall with her husband. Revolver shots were heard and the party of friends at the Persons residence rushed into the hall and found Mrs. Travis dead and her husband wounded. His wife was shot through the heart and in the stomach. The bullet, with which he intended to take his own life, pierced his scalp just above the right ear, ranged around the skull and came out just above the back of the neck. He is expected to recover. He was removed to police headquarters. According to the police, there had been trouble in the Travis family for several weeks. He is said to have been extremely jealous of her. Miss Anna Goodwin, a sister of the slain woman witnessed the entire affair. Others who were present when the killing occurred were Mrs. Carrie Persons, of Little Rock, Ark., whom Mrs. Travis was visiting at the apartment, and J. R. Booker, also of Little Rock.

At the present time a police guard is constantly maintained at Mr. Browne's residence, a patrolman being stationed there from four o'clock in the afternoon until eight o'clock in the morning, as all the attacks heretofore have been made in the night or very early in the morning.

Theatrical Notes "THE PRICE OF A PARTY" COMING TO THE BROADWAY Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned; This will be plainly shown when you see Hope Hampton in a vivid drama of a beautiful butterfly who toyed with fire and in the end, paid the price; thinking all the time she could get away with it, starting Sunday, August 30, 'till Monday. Others in the cast include Harrison Ford, Mary Astor, Arthur Carew, Dagmar Godowsky. It will teach you that it is not the first cost that we count at our parties, but the after-math and then the price. On Tuesday, Constance Talmadge will teach the girls how to have all the men at their feet in "The Goldfish." Wednesday and Thursday, Eva Novak and William Fairbanks in "The Fatal Mistake," while the week will end on Friday and Saturday with Reed Howes, formerly the model for Arrow Brand Collars, in the greatest action picture ever made, "Lightning Romance." Adolphe Menjou in "Lost—A Wife" will be shown at the Republic on Sunday and Monday, August 30, 31. Menjou is known as "Bet a thousand" Tony in this picture. The theme of the picture is "can a man be a gambler and a good husband at the same time"? Menjou gives his usual smooth performance. So many motion pictures are made each year that in the grist of a year's film entertainment, a production has to be superlatively good for it to stand out in bold relief. Such a production is "Romola," Lillian Gish's latest picture which will be shown at the Republic Theatre on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 1, 2, 3, 4. Just beauty, is only one feature of "Romola." It has also great drama and great players to interpret it. What a cast! Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish, Ronald Colman, William H. Powell, Herbert Grimwood and a host of others. The Gish sisters are together again in this picture for the first time since "Orphans of the Storm," and again they show that teamwork is a fine art in itself. "Romola" ran for a solid year in New York at $2.00 prices. At the Republic, it will be shown at the regular admission prices. Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino in "Beyond the Rocks" will be seen on Saturday, September 5. On the stage, appearing at 7:20 and 9:20, the Capital City Serenaders, assisted by talent, will be presented. Mme.

Elks Hold Big Convention in Richmond Elks Hold Big Convention in Richmond (Continued from page 1) workers. Ed. Henry, former President of the Citizens Club of Philadelphia seems to be functioning in the role of a compromise candidate. This in spite of the fact that the Pennsylvania delegation has sacrificed the support to his ambitions in exchange for a campaign for the next annual meeting of the Order in the Quaker City, where they promise to make it a feature of the Sesquicentenniel celebration. The Elks numbering well unto a hundred thousand people, mostly attired in fanciful costumes, captured Richmond for the week of August 24th. Their genial spirits, contagious joy and seemingly endless finances, made them most congenial guests for the southern capital, that seemed glad to have them, if editorial reflections and the views of the important officials of state and city are to be accepted as adequate proof. Of special interest were the concerts given by two bands in Capitol Square. A crowd estimated at more than 2,000 assembled for this event. The first concert, which began at 4 o'clock, was rendered by the band of Franklin Lodge, of Columbus, O. After the playing of several marches, a capable soloist sang several folk songs and syncopated numbers, while, the leader of the outfit gave a series of amusing comedy stunts that kept the crowd in the most amiable of spirits. It was nearly 5 o'clock when the Community Center Band, of Washington, D. C., took the center of the stage and proceeded to fill the welkin of the stately and venerable square with rhythmic harmonies. There were several band concerts in old Jackson Ward yesterday and these attracted huge crowds of people. Never has Richmond been so generously supplied with music, and virtually all of it rendered by skilled instrumentalists. The business meetings were featured with the session of the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple at the Rayo Theater, on North Second Street. J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the order, presided and was accorded THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 BOTH, and ambia access-play epion-Assoundy. divided play-lumes. a rousing ovation by the Elks. All officials and a large number of delegates of the order attended the raising of the Elks' colors—purple and white—over the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital on the Virginia Union University campus. There were several addresses on this occasion. Among the various events were the baseball games at Mayo Island park between the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City, and the Baltimore Black Sox, and a reception to the Grand Temple, held at 6 o'clock at the Home of the Council fo Colored Women, on Clay Street. CATHOLICS TO OLD CARNIVAL Mr. Lewis Alexander, formerly of "Ethiopian Art Theatre," will stage a monster flower carnival at the New Murray Palace Casino, Tuesday, September 15, 1925, under the auspices of the Editorial Staff of the Council Review.

A prize of $5.00 will be awarded to the One of the principal social affairs of the convention was the smoker and burlesque entertainment arranged for delegates to the Grand Lodge, which began at midnight in the Hippodrome Theatre, on Second Street. The program was reported to have been elaborate. Following the morning business meetings of the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple, the principal incident was a boat excursion to historic Jamestown Island, where the first English settlers located in America, and the first Negroes were landed by a Dutch slave ship. The Grand Ball was one of the most elaborate formal affairs ever seen in the city of Richmond. Many of the white citizens came to look upon the spectacle and were glad to have done so. Opinions expressed upon the streets attested amply to the contribution to more harmonious relations between the races that is certain to grow out of the convention. Merchants, garage operators, policemen and all directly involved in contacts with the visitors, vied with one another to make the occasion one long to be remembered and to refute the impression that a national Negro body can not meet in a southern city. It was told to a representative of The Tribune that the city will, if the Elks ever care to return to Richmond, gladly give five thousand dollars toward entertaining, instead of the fifteen hundred that was donated by the city council this time. Returning visitors are uniform in declaring that they were finely treated. Visiting officials of the Elks and the Richmond committee, which made all arrangements for the convention yesterday, were subjects to congratulations and compliments for the efficiency, dispatch and order shown in the conduct of the great gathering and the mammoth parade of Tuesday.

This star when we realize that New York of the northward migration of the bloody race riots which Ch more or less Northern cities had day coming." Mr. Samuel Brown, a Negro letter-carrier of Staten Island, New York, recently brought suit against a group of white hoodlums who resorted to violence in an effort to expel him from a so-called exclusively white residential district. We admit that his white neighbors had a right to signify that they disapproved of his living in this particular district; that they are within their rights when they express their belief—however faulty—that more harmony and greater happiness obtain where the two races remain separate, but we can not condone the act of giving vent to their feeling through violence. The idea of harmony suggests the just adaptation of parts to each other so as to produce unity of effect or an aesthetically pleasing whole. Negroes, Jews and Gentiles are here, composing these United States. The nature of their pursuits of life necessitates their intermingling. No attitude can be created, no law promulgated, tending to bring about a state of separation or segregation, which will produce this unity of effect, this aesthetically pleasing whole that we are so wont to declare that we desire. Were you to enter a home, be that home the most elaborately decorated and cozy, and were you granted the privileges of a member of that home, you would, no doubt, enjoy an ease of mind. But were you told that room "A" was locked and therefore closed to you, your curiosity would be aroused, a longing to see within, created; and thus friction would be caused—in mind, if not otherwise. Restriction in residential allocation, like the inhibition cited in the foregoing, is not germane in the establishment of democracy. And the sooner we take cognizance of this fact, the quicker shall we take a forward step towards a pleasing whole. Two commendable things we can not overlook. First, here is a Negro who readily recognized a violation of a principle upon which this Republic was founded, and took legitimate action to redress his grievances. He realized that he has both a moral and a legal right to live anywhere in New York, or elsewhere he pleases. And, what is more commendable, though he recognized his neighbors' right and indicated that he would have re-sold his home, he did not yield to violence that, which he would have yielded to persuasion. For this we congratulate him. Second, to see this episode given front page space in the metropolitan dailies is, indeed, encouraging; for these moulders of public opinion show a tendency to fairness. This state of mind is further recognized when we realize that New York has taken care of its full share of the northward migration of Negroes, without having suffered the bloody race riots which Chicago, East St. Louis and other more or less Northern cities have. This is a sign of a "better day coming." Pythians Close Great Convention Pythians Close Great Convention Louisville, Kentucky—With the unanimous re-election of S. W. Green of New Orleans as Supreme Chancellor and the choice of Chicago for the 1927 Convention of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, adjourned Friday, August 21. The great camp, Camp Lawrence, held at State Fair Grounds, Kentucky's show place, broke Saturday morning and Major General R. R. Jackson's Pythian soldiers were on their way back home. The sessions of the Supreme Lodge were held in the temple owned by Kentucky Pythians and for which it recently refused $350,000. The public meeting at which many welcome addresses were made was held at Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church. Mayor Huston Quin of Louisville made a speech of welcome. In his report, the Supreme Chancellor stated that there are 294,222 members of the order, 185,291 Knights and 108,931 members of the Court of Calanthe. The Knights of Pythias claim a total resource of $8,000,000. Revision of the constitution of the order was adopted by the Supreme body and legislation passed that will enable Pythians Commission of which Edward D. Green, Chicago, is secretary, to complete the million dollar temple. Distinguished men composed the Supreme Lodge, which is the leading deliberative body among Colored people. The Grand Chancellors led by Willis of Texas, Andrews of Florida, Wickham of Oklahoma, Collier of New York. Blount of Alabama and Crowell of Virginia were all present while the Supreme Representatives were men first in the history of their states. From Georgia were Dr. R. Butler and Jos. H. Watson; from Texas, A. S. Jackson and L. B. Kincheon; from Missouri, Fred W. Dabney and Dr. William J. Thompkins; W. W. Adams, S. D. McGill and E. A. Pottsdamer from Florida; from Pennsylvania Frank R. Stewart and Dr. John P. Turner; and so the list goes. The Supreme Court of Calanthe met in Quin Chapel A. M. E. Church. Their Supreme Worthy Counsellor, Ernest G. Tidrington, noted Indian leader, reported resources of that Department to be $1,300,00. The women's endowment funds amounts to $559,053. W. S.

Shiloh to Hold Last Services at Howard Theater Shiloh to Hold Last Services at Howard Theater The huge openings in the roof and the many broken stained glass windows in the beautiful and spacious edifice of Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church, corner 9th and P Streets, Northwest, this city—caused by the fire of July 27th, last—having been temporarily stopped with tarred paper and rough boards, the church has decided to return on Sunday, September 6th, to hold Sunday and week-day services, hereafter, in its basement. The services at Howard Theatre next Sunday, (Aug. 30th) will mark the closing of a month's Gospel Campaign in that place by Shiloh.

Tribune Ads Bring Results --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams LILLIAN E. TIBBS ENGAGED FOR NICE AND MONTE CARLO ROLES Interesting, gladsome news reached us a few days since telling the story of recent successes of one of Washington's brightest musical gems since crossing the high seas in the person of Lillian Evan Tibbs, soprano soloist and former public schools music directress and teacher. News just received from Paris, France this week conveys the information that she has been engaged to sing an operatic role at Nice and to appear later on in the Winter at Monte Carlo, that famous high-brow resort known to all the world. All musical Washington rejoices in her success in reaching the topmost height of vocal artistry on foreign shores where only talent and ability counts. Once again, our recent statement that all musicians of color should go abroad to attain merited honor is sustained in this latest success of another American musician of color. They certainly are crossing over the wide waters steadily since the triumphant successes of Roland Hayes, Abbie Mitchell, Will Marion, and others more or less. Only recently Florence C. Talbert, from whom we may expect much sailed for Italy to continue her study and we believe her to be one of the best trained vocalists of our group to ever go abroad for study under foreign Scottish Rite Body to Meet Here in October The Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons of the 33rd Degree, for the Southern Jurisdiction, will convene in its 13th Ternennial Session in this city from October 18th to the 21st this year.

Every active member of the body has climbed slowly thru the 32 degrees that precede the final coveted thirty-third. To accomplish this one has been obliged to disclose characteristics that have quite naturally given distincition in their other efforts. Hence Washington will be host to a fine group of fraternal folks.

SAY MEXICO REFUSES TO ADMIT NEGROES New York—(By the Associated Negro Press)—According to dispatches in white newspapers, the Mexican government will prohibit the entrance of colored workers into the country. Permission is said to have been denied sugar planters in lower California to import colored labor, due, so the report runs, to the difficulties the Mexican government is already having with Japanese and Chinese immigrants. Believes Delay in Appointing Minister to Avoid Negro Believes Delay in Appointing Minister to Avoid Negro (Continued from page 1) caused by the death of Arthur Bailly-Blanchard in Montreal last Monday, is regarded as a ruse to circumvent the selection of a colored man and at the same time save the administration from embarrassment in the coming congressional elections. Under Republican administrations, the American minister to Haiti has generally been selected from among the leading colored Republicans. The last colored man to serve was Dr. Sumner A. Furniss, of Indianapolis, Ind., who resigned after the election of Woodrow Wilson. Other colored men who served with distinction include the late Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett, of Philadelphia, Frederick Douglass of the District of Columbia and John M. Langston of Virginia. Bailly-Blanchard, a native of Louisiana, was appointed in 1914. He had been in the diplomatic service for a number of years. In 1920 he was the subject of an attack by President Dartiguenave of Haiti, who charged that "Haiti had been under the oppression of the American minister and his financial adviser." The present plan is to continue Brig. Gen. John H. Russell as High Commissioner of Haiti and Santo Domingo with complete charge of the American legation. The State Department takes the view that so long as the United States military occupation continues, retention of a military high commissioner rather than a minister is more desirable. New York, Aug. 21, (By the Associated Negro Press)—After much wrangling and hesitancy, the Liberian minister in Paris has notified the League of Nations that his government adheres to the Arms Control Convention under the special provisions proposed by the American delegation. Her acceptance had been withheld on a point involving the recognition of the sovereignty of Liberia.

Then the pumpkins will be gathered, The cornstalks stacked up high, The tired leaves will kiss the earth To sleep, to dream, to die. 'Tis the last month of summer— The gentle evening winds Tell us with their saddened songs That autumn soon begins. —C. L. F. AN APPLE DUEL This is a game for either boys or girls. Four tablespoons, two chairs with backs, and two apples are needed to play this game. Place the two chairs with their backs to each other about two feet apart. A child kneels in each chair facing his opponent. Each child has two tablespoons. A large apple must be in the spoon in his right hand. The left hand holds the empty spoon. When a signal is given the combatants will try to make their opponents drop his apple at the same time keeping their own safely balanced on the spoon. You must not permit either foot to touch the floor. The one dropping his apple first loses the game.

LULLABY OF NEW YORK TOWN New York town is going to Sleptown Just to see some dreamful sight. New York town has hushed its bustle, All its noise, and clang, and hustle, Just to croon in ditties sweet, "Little habes must go to sleep." With the lights of stars above; New York town croons to its babies Hymns of God, and songs of love. Every house that holds a baby, (Be it little man or lady) Echoes back in accents deep, "Little babes must go to sleep." New York town with all its beauty, Dignity and pride and glory, Has for years at twilight's falling Crooned its song or told its story To its little sons and daughters (Gay as running streams of waters, Babbling as echoes repeat) "Little babes must go to sleep." —C.

Edwards, of 2036 Fourth Street, Northwest, has filed suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for a limited divorce from her husband, John H. Edwards, a real estate dealer of 1930 Ninth Street, Northwest. She is represented by Attorney Charles Robinson. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Robinson says that her husband was formerly a minister of the gospel, but was unfrocked because of numerous assaults upon her. While he was pastoring the Second Methodist Episcopal Church at White Plains, N. Y., she charges, he threw her down and beat her in the church unmercifully, for which he was convicted in the courts He was transferred to St. Inigoes, Maryland, where, she declared, he blackened her eye on January 1, 1924, at the home of Mamie Gough, with whom she accuses him of running, and on the same evening after she had gone home he began to beat her and she was forced to seek protection at the home of a neighbor. She claims that after his conviction in the Inigoes County Court for these assaults, she reported his conduct to the Bishop of his diocese and the Rev. David Turpeau, district superintendent, was sent to unfrock him. She was forced to leave him on the next day, January 2, 1924, she says, and was not able to locate him until August 10, 1925, when she saw in an office of U Street, sitting in an office chair with Miss Anita Turpeau, sitting in his lap with her arms around his neck. Mrs. Edwards declares that she asked her husband to contribute toward her support when she located him, but he refused. She alleges that at the time of her marriage to Mr. Edwards, she was a dressmaker and helped him to finish his education, but that as a result of the blows received in the eye at the hands of her husband, her sight is impaired and she is unable to follow her trade. She says that she has been advised by Dr. John Shannon that the injury to her eye is permanent. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards were married on May 23, 1915, in New York City, by the Rev. F. A. Cullen, and lived together until January 1, 1924. Mr. Edwards denies his wifes' charges and says that there are no facts whatever in her bill of complaint. He has a decree from the circuit court of the city of Alexandria, Va., awarding him a limited divorce from his wife on the ground that she deserted him in April, 1923, Chancery No. 811. He asks the District Supreme Court to dismiss his wife's suit, for lack of jurisdiction. He claims that neither he nor she is a resident of the District of Columbia. Mr. Edwards is represented by Attorneys Watson and Porter, (white). We strive faithfully to keep up our we say it will THOMAS E. CLER BOOK and JO Washington 407 Fourteenth St., N.E.
