First in Local Circulation. PUBLISHED WEEKLY Dr. Sylvester Ordered To Pa Dr. Sylvester Smith Ordered By Court To Pay Alimony Justice Hitz in the equity division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Tuesday ordered Dr. Sylvester B. Smith, a dentist with offices at 2505 Nichols Avenue, southeast to contribute $15 a week to the support of his wife, Mrs. Naomi D. Smith, of 2607 Nichols Avenue, southeast, who is suing him for separate maintenance. Mrs. Smith, through her attorney, told the court that her husband had an excellent clientele and earned more than $5,000 a year from his profession and, in addition, could earn a considerable sum as a musician, if he would, as he is a capable pianist and paid his way through college by his earnings as a musician. Her lawyer suggested that he be required to contribute $25 weekly toward her support. Through Attorney George E. C. Hayes, "Syl" Smith, as he is popularly known, denied that his earnings amounted to $5,000 yearly. He declared that during the one year he has been practicing his earnings have been between $1,450 and $1,500. He said that he gave up music to devote his entire time to the practice of his profession. Attronney Hayes suggested that $10 a week would be a fair amount to order his client to contribute to the support of his wife. Justice Hitz fixed it at $15 a week. "Syl" Smith denied the charges of his wife in her bill of complaint that he had been cruel, inhuman and inconsiderate of her and had not properly contributed to her support and maintenance. In his answer he charges that after his marriage his wife treated his mother, Mrs. Capitolia Smith, with courtesy and disrespect and after they moved to No. 2124 Flagler place, Northwest, his mother, whom he says was in ill health, was forced to act EMANCIPATION DAY OBSERVED IN VIRGINIA Emancipation Celebration. 30th Annual Affair a Big Success. The Thirtieth Annual Emancipation Day Celebration at Purceville, Va., drew nearly five thousand people to the nine and a half acre grounds owned by the Louden County, Va. Association. The organization is incorporated and has a history that goes back thirty years. Ten years ago they purchased the premises and each year the management has added improvements. The program was presented in a big auditorium that has a capacity of more than 2,000. It was nearly filled with the more sedate ones while more than that number disported themselves with the amusements provided elsewhere on the premises. Rev. O'Savior O'Connell addressed the assemblage on the subject "The Ground of Negro Life" making a great impression. J. A. Jackson of the Washington Tribune was a speaker. Others on the program were Lee Bryan, Chaplain and Vice-President of the Association; Rev. Williams, Rev. S. A. Lewis, Richard Clark, Lewis Jones, Henry Jackson, John Lewis, Demus Pierce, Aleid L. Cravens and Rev. Falls of Leesburg, Henry Hartman's Quince Orchard band of Rockville, Md. provided the music for the program and rendered an outdoor concert later. An incident that shows the hearty co-operation of the city with its Negro citizens was the morning ceremony in which Mayor D. Nichols of Purcelville administered the oath of office as policemen to six members of the association, doing it before the assembled people. To the credit of these men, so well did they handle the large crowd that up until the departure of the Tribune representative at 6 P.M., not one disorderly act had taken place, nor had there been any congestion in the handling of the big crowd. The liberal judgment of the Mayor was thus fully vindicated. The only disquieting feature of the day was the fact that of the many Negro concessions present with their wares and games, but few set up shop. Four white men in their line had been given precedence in location, and the boys felt, too, that the privilege price was set too high for them. White vendors can meet those prices, for they work constantly and if they just fill time and meet expenses on a one day affair, they break even; but the Negro concessioners who have so few openings, yet are obliged to maintain the same sized equipment and investment for only occasional use, can not figures. try. NEGRO SPECIAL POLICE FUNCTION The Washington Tribune Smith By Court Pay Alimony M. M. HARRIS TO REPRESENT LIBERTY LIFE The home office of the Liberty Life Insurance Company located in Chicago, Illinois, today announced that Mortimer M. Harris, a real estate broker with offices at 613 F Street, Northwest, had been elected a member of of the advisory board of directors. Mr. Harris will fully represent the eastern interests of the corporation. The name of Mr. Harris was submitted with three others. He was unanimously elected. He was also unqualifiedly endorsed by Dr. M. O. Ousfield, the president of the company, and the entire official staff. The election of Mr. Harris is regarded as the preliminary steps for a concerted drive for new business in the east by the Liberty Life Insurance Company. The present fully paid in capital stock is $150,000. Its surplus is said to be the largest of any colored company. The officials of the organization plan to increase the present capital stock and surplus to at least $350,000 and then enter the State of New York. This will be the first attempt of a colored insurance company to do business in New York State. The requirements have been regarded as prohibitive. Only a few shares of stock of the Liberty Life remain unsold. They will be disposed of in the east. It is likely that Mr. Harris will have W. Louis Davis, manager of the bond department to come east with this stock with a view to obtaining a larger eastern representation. HOWARD UNIVERSITY OPENS NEXT THURSDAY Howard University will begin its 1925 fall term October 1st. The registration of students for the college department will begin September 29, and will be followed by the registration of students of the medical, dental, pharmaceutical and law schools on October 1st. Freshmen will register on September 25 and 26. Yesterday there was a meeting in the chapel, addressed by the president and deans of the colleges, welcoming the students. According to F. D. Wilkinson, registrar, more new students have applied for admission this year than were enrolled in all college departments last spring and the indications are that the registration for the opening of the fall quarter will be the largest in the history of the school. FAMOUS ORCHES TRA TO PLAY AT CASINO, OCT. 6 The management of the recently remodelled Murray Palace Casino has under contract some of the most famous bands of the country for appearances during the coming social season. On Tuesday, October 6, the Broadway Serenaders of Cumberland, Md., will be presented in Washington for the first time. This organization is the "Pet" of white and black society in Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio. On October 13, Charles Matson, the Gayetty Theatre, New York musical booking manager will present the Charles Johnson band of ten pieces that became famous in the Nest Club and other night life resorts of the better class in the metropolis. This band has just concluded a summer engagement in Atlantic City, and it is just to fill the gap between that and the winter opening date that the famed unit has been prevailed upon to come to Washington. These are but the first of a group of such organizations that have been contracted, or with whom negotions are pending. In all likelihood, the Casino will, before the winter is far advanced be recognized as one of the established Melody Marts of he country. WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 REGISTRATION IN SCHOOLS IS 20,702 According to information given by Garnet C.

After his mother prepared their meals, he says, often his wife would not partake of them, but would go over to the home of her mother and when he would call for her several hours later she would thank her mother in his presence for the meal she had eaten there for no other purpose than humiliate and embarrass him without cause or provocation. He denies that he lived in a separate room to the exclusion of his wife. He says that they occupied together the front room at the Flagler place address until July 5, 1925. On this day, he claims that while he was driving an automobile, some words of unpleasantness were indulged in by his wife directed against his mother, which resulted in a quarrel between him and his wife and that night when he came home he found himself locked out of the jointly occupied room. On the following day, without notice to him, he says, his wife left and he had no word from her until July 12, when she with her parents came to the Flagler place home and took her belongings. The purchase money for the property at 216 S street, N. W., where they first lived after their marriage, came from his mother. Dr. Smith, claims and for that reason he deeded this property to her. He denied that any coercion was used in having his wife to sign the deed with him. He also denies that he became angry when his wife told him that she was in a delicate condition and requested her to take any medicine or have any illegal operation performed. "Syl" Smith is a former national singles tennis champion. He won the title in 1919. Both he and his wife are well known in local social circles. HUSBAND CHARGED WITH CRUELTY SEEKS DIVORCE Washington, D.C., Sept.—Cruelty, neglect and non-support is charged in a suit for a limited divorce filed by Mrs. Selena King against her husband, Albert A. King, of 441 Second Street, Southwest, through Attorney Armond W. Scott. Mrs. King charges that most of her trouble is due to the fact that her husband is infatuated with a woman by the name of Annie Tills, who lives on Virginia Avenue, Southwest. She says that she lacks evidence upon which to base a suit for an absolute divorce, but that she is morally satisfied that the relationship between her husband and the Tills woman is improper. She alleges that she has seen her husband coming from the home of the Tills woman and that on one occasion about 3 o'clock in the morning the Tills woman talked with him over the telephone and about fifteen minutes later called for him in an automobile and abused him because he would not go with her at that time. She also says that in October last the house of the Tills' woman was raided and her husband was taken with her to the police station. Mr. and Mrs. King were married in Alexandria, Va., March 28, 1919. They have one child, a boy, 5 years old. Mr. King is a fireman in the District of Columbia and earns about $175 a month. His wife asks the court to grant her a limited divorce, custody of the child and temporary and permanent alimony. Illegal Possession As the result of a raid last Saturday night, Margaret Galo, 27, 913 French Street, Northwest, was arrested in connection with violation of the national prohibition act. She was charged with illegal possession. Ben Davis, Atlanta Publisher, May Succeed "Linc" Johnson On Republican National Committee Lily-Whites Trying to Come Back Washington, D. C., Sept. 24—The prediction is made that either Benjamin Jefferson Davis, editor of The Atlanta Independent and secretary of the Republican State Central Committee of Georgia, or John W. Martin, white, of Atlanta, will succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson as the Republican National Committeeman for Georgia. There are any number of candidates for the place. The most prominent of them are Dr. W. Y. Gilliam, state chairman; W. R. Tucker, vice-state chairman; Albert S. Anderson, who was in the "lily-white" organization headed by J. L. Phillips but after the Republican national convention in Cleveland last June supported the regular Republican organization; Charles H. Adamson, of Cedartown, Ga., who gave passive support to the Johnson organization, and Clark Grier who was one of Mr. Johnson's chief lieutenants. Besides Mr. Davis, there are two other colored men who aspire for the office. They are Dr. W. H. Harris, of Athens, Ga., and Joseph H. Watson, of Albany, Ga. The situation is controlled by Mr. Davis. Sixty persons compose the Republican State Central Committee. Forty-one of them are colored and only nineteen of them are white. It is said that the colored members with one or two exceptions and eleven of the white members are willing to be guided by his judgment. The successor to Mr. Johnson will be selected by this committee at a special meeting called for that purpose. No date for this meeting has yet been fixed. The choice of the committee must be ratified by the Republican National Committee at one of its regular meetings. At the present time there is no indication that the National Committee will hold a meeting until in December, 1927, when it will be called to fix the time and place and issue the call for the next Republican National Convention. It has already become apparent that there will be a determined effort by the "lily-white" faction to force the selection of a white man. This was forecast by the visit here last week of Clint W. Hager, United States Attorney for the northern district of George; Walter Akerman, United States marshal for the same district; C. P. Gore, an assistant United States attorney at Atlanta; Marion O. Dunning, recently appointed collector of customs at Savannah, Ga., and Clark Grier. They will be supported by Josiah T. Rose, collector of internal revenue at Atlanta, and Dr. Gilliam, the state chairman. state chambers Nationally prominent Negro Republicans, many of whom attended the fu- (Continued on page B) MRS. TIBBS TO GIVE RECITAL HERE IN OCT. In an interview today, Madame Evanti—Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs—who has recently returned from fifteen months of musical study in France, told of some of her experiences in Paris, where, she says, there is no such thing as color prejudice, especially among the upper classes. Mrs. Tibbs will appear in her only public recital here, October 27th, at the Lincoln Theatre. She told of meeting Monsieur and Madame Joseph Salmon, in whose salon she made her first public appearance in a joint recital with the Marquise of Casa Fuerta a violinist. It was Mr. Salmon, she said, who met Roland Hayes in England and induced him to visit Paris. It was also in the salon of the Salmons that he was presented to Parisians. The Salmons, Mrs. Tibbs stated, is a very distinguished French family both socially and musically. "I feel that Madame Salmon," she said, "understands very thoroughly the race question in America. She has made a special study of it and is very much interested in the general progress of the Negro. She is a great lover of the spirituals and can tell the origin of a great many of the slave songs." Mrs. Tibbs is making preparations for a number of concert appearances before returning to France to fill grand opera engagements at Nice and Monte Carlo. She will most likely sing in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Denver. She is a coloratura soprano. Critics say she has a voice of remarkable qualities.

CHURCH TALKS WITH COOLIDGE R. R. Church of Memphis., Tenn., with National Committee J. Will Taylor of Tennessee, were visitors at the White House last Saturday morning. It is understood that they conferred with the President on Tennessee patronage matters. Earlier in the week Mr. Church is credited with having secured the appointment of Capt. Harry Anderson, of Memphis, to succeed the late J. Will Ross as United States judge for the western district of Tennessee. Church is said to have blocked the appointment of Eugene Murray, of Memphis, who has been aligned with the "lily white" faction in Shelby county, when he made a trip to the summer White House at Swampscott sometime ago and made known his objections to this appointment to President Coolidge. It is understood that he made it plain that the "black and tan" element was the mainstay of the Republican party in western Tennessee and that it would be good policy to appoint their candidate. EIGHT TO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Raleigh, N. C.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—The electric chair in the state prison here will flash eight times during the month of September and each time a life will be snuffed out in payment for one already taken. The death toll will begin Friday when Fred Jones will be executed. There is a possibility that three of the eight men will escape the chair by appeals that are being made for them and a fourth on account on insanity. The other four, however, have little chance to escape the fatal current. All of the men now occupying the death cells are Negroes. Office: 920 U Street, N.W. Bascum Slemp Pays Tribute to "Linc" Washington, D.C., Sept.—The late Henry Lincoln Johnson, "succeeded only by overcoming unnatural difficulties," says C. Bascom Slemp, former secretary to the President, who has fought within the Republican party both with and against Mr. Johnson. In 1920 they opposed each other. Mr. Slemp sought the elimination of the Negro from the councils of the Republican party in the South. Two years later when he became the secretary to President Coolidge, Mr. Johnson made the statement that Mr. Slemp had undergone a change of heart and was all right on the race question. At the Cleveland convention in 1924, Mr. Slemp produced a letter from the late President Harding saying that a mistake had been made in ousting the Johnson Republicans in Georgia and setting up a "lily white" organization in their place. Today Mr. Slemp paid the following tribute to Mr. Johnson: "Henry Lincoln Johnson had to overcome in his life what Bismarch called the imponderables. He succeeded only by overcoming unnatural difficulties. He had to fight to secure what naturally should have come to him as it had to others. "He was a man of great persuasive powers, of magnetic personality and undoubtedly the most prominent political factor of his race during his quarter of a century of active effort. "He awakened my sympathy for himself and his cause because he was always appealing for a higher right of self-expression for his race. "He succeeded where others failed because he exercised great taet, worked without friction and always made friends. His taking away is untimely and with his friends I mourn his loss." THE PRUDENTIAL BANK STARTS CAMPAIGN THE PRUDENTIAL BANK STARTS CAMPAIGN A campaign of "Publicity and Extension" was started this week by the Prudential Bank of which Mr. John R. Hawkins is president. The objectives of the campaign are the selling of $36,000 worth of capital stock and the increasing of the bank's reserve to $500,000. In order to push this campaign, the Board of Directors have been divided into teams with each member a chairman. These teams will compete for prizes which will be awarded the ones bringing in the largest number of new accounts and selling the most stock. The standing will be based on points which will be given in varying numbers for new accounts, etc. The prizes will be awarded the winner at the time of the observance of the third anniversary of the bank, July 23, 1926. Since the opening of the Prudential bank, it has enjoyed a most remarkable growth. From opening day deposits of $47,289.06, deposits have now reached a total of $277,845.40. Loans and discounts to local business men and firms total $110,426.20. This shows that the bank is really serving the local business men. The bank now has no paid in capital stock of $47,035.95, with $64,000 subscribed. When this issue is sold the full $100,00 will have been taken and the bank will be in a much better position to serve local business interest. The campaign has started off with more interest than was anticipated by the officials of the bank. A many new accounts have been opened with the prospects of hundreds of others coming in before the end of the campaign. CHARGED WITH MURDER Milwaukee, Wis.—Rev.

PORTERS HOLD MONSTER MASS MEETING SUPPORT ASSURED MOVE BY OFFICIALS OF BIG FIVE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PRAISED At a meeting held Thursday night at the John Weekley A. M. E. E. John Church, Fourteenth and Corpuscan Streets, Northwest, Pullman porters were urged to join the Brettbeckd of Sleeping Car Porters, which is now being organized by A. Philip Randolph of New York City. Representatives of the Big Four Brotherhoods and Rienzi Lemus, pres- ident of the Brettbeckd of Dining Car Employees were present and told the porters that they were the only group of employees in the railroad transportation industry that is not organized. Mr. Randolph was the first speaker. He outlined the plans and purposes of the new organization. He showed by facts and figures that the question of organization is an economic one and that the Pullman porters by not having an organization of their own were losing in dollars and cents and the Pullman company was saving approximately $12,000,000 a year. Unionization will bring, he contended, better wages, shorter hours, pay for overtime, simplified time sheets, abolition of doubling out, respectful treatment, and a representative to speak for the Pullman porter when he is up on complaint. Mr. Randolph severely scored the "Employee Representation Plan." He urged that when it comes up for reaffirmation in November that it be repudiated. He advised the porters not to vote, so that the plan would not receive 51 per cent, support of the Pullman porters, and its officers would not be recognized by the Railroad Labor Board as their representative. The Pullman Porters' Beneficial Association also came in for its share of criticism. Mr. Randolph declared that this association and the Employees Representation Plan are designed to prevent the porters from organizing. The directors of this association, he said, are paid by the Pullman Company and "they often to their Master's Voice." During his speech, Mr. Randolph paid a high compliment to The Washington Tribune for its editorial stand in regard to the formation of an organization by the Pullman porters themselves. Other speakers included H. E. Wills of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; W. M. Clark, vice president of the Order of Railway Conductors; Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Arthur G. Lovett, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and Mr. Pagan, representing the American Federation of Labor Rienzi Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, told the Pullman porters that an organization of their own could be put over just as he had put over his organization of the dining car employees. He also told of the advantages that would accrue as a result of organisation. After Mr. Lemus had spoken, Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer of the new brotherhood, who was discharged for his activities, told of his experiences and urged these present to show that they were with the movement by joining. He explained that it is necessary for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to obtain a membership of fifty-one per cent of the porters in order that the officials would be reconized by the Railroad Labor Board as representing the craft. Boston, the meeting was well attended. At its conclusion a great number of the porters present conceived an interest in the organization by signing blanks which were cisplated, and quite a few paid the joining fee. Prof. Lochard Gets Public School Job Prof. Lochard Gets Public School Job Metz T. P. Leochard, formerly assistant professor of French at Howard University, has been appointed a substitute teacher in the high schools of the District of Columbia, divisions 10 to 13, Garnet C. Wilkerson, first assistant superintendent of schools announced last Tuesday. He receives the basic salary of $1,800 a year. Professor Leochard is a graduate of the University of Paris. He was one of the four professors whose services were discontinued at Howard University June 30 last, as the result of a reorganization program said to have been recommended to the board of trustees by R. J. Leonard of the Columbia University school of education, who made a survey of the academic departments. These dismissals caused a storm of protests. Alain L. Locke, professor of philosophy; Alonzo H. Brown, professor of mathematics, and Orlando C. Thoraton, instructor in finance and business organization, who were also dismissed, have not yet secured employment. SOCIAL & PERSONAL PAGE TWO Mrs. Marian Butler Society Editor A Hearty Welcome Washington can point with pride to many fine and beautiful things, but it can have no deeper pride and concern than that felt in its schools. All civilized peoples hold their schools in high respect, knowing that they are much of the leaven which must leaven the whole. They are one of the main cornerstones of the super-structurer of civilization. Washington takes off its hat and extends a glad hand of welcome to its teachers and students, hoping that the vacation has not been only a physical rest but also a spiritual quickening. That all come back with a deeper sense of responsibility, opportunity and appreciation of the duties that lie ahead. The task each day must be for moral and spiritual growth. In the diversification of our culture, the broadening of our racial lives, the formation of strong character, lies the hope of the nation. Yours, teachers, is a sacred trust. "There's no time to dream to drift. There's hard work to do and loads to lift." And to you—students, each day is a big opportunity; slight it not, for each must count for itself and cannot be recalled. So, with hearts full of love for you and pride in you, we bid you God speed.

BEAUTIFUL MADAME KATHERINE WILLIAMS (For Associated Negro Press) Conducted by Madame Katherine Willem and founder of the famous Cau Culture in Omaha, Neb. She will testions of a reasonable length. We correspondents who inclose mother should be addressed to Mme. Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago. With the first days of fall, Fifth Avenue and the streets, east and west of these thoroughfares have put on their best bib and tucker, for—Dame Fashion is abroad. Never have the shops looked more attractive, and the designers' skill more apparent, than on these early fall days. Everything is conspiring to make the coming fall as a style season a memorable one. The great Parisian creators and the clever designers of this country have come to a general appreciation of the wonderful elements for vibrant fashion expression, which are the trend of the moment and have definitely decided to carry on in the same gay spirit. Color which has been so adventurous in its rather daring exploits through the summer season, has no idea of retiring to a place of comparative importance. In some of the most exclusive collections prepared for the coming season, red, purple, and green in their most brilliant shades are highly sponsored for street wear and the more formal ensembles. In the new evening fashions green booms as an essential favorite; not in the dull tones of recent popularity, but in the most exciting of versions of the color. Apple and spring green, pistache, peppermint, and charteuse are the names which express some of the variations. Although there has been considerable talk during the past month, relative to the introduction of new style treatment in the one piece dress design, the opinion is quite general that the straight line theme of last year will run in the lead. It is significant too, that the coat-dress is more than maintaining its hold upon our affections. It is being shown with more enthusiasm than has been evinced for some time. Flannel, tweed, suede cloth and Poiret twill are prime favorites for the one-piece dress for street wear. A few sport frocks for fall, which have recently been seen are interpreted in conservative tones of balbriggan such as rust or hunters green, and on many of these frocks snails, shells, and gilt fish are painted. The use of long sleeves and raised necklaces goes a long way to establishing the elegance of the wearer. The accent placed upon color is by no means restricted to the costume, for a gayer note is struck by various accessories. Appliques of leather decorate the backs of slip on gloves, and high boots of purple suede are on modified Cossack lines. Jumpers mostly designed with elbow are to be worn under coats. Skirts may be the least bit longer but the addition is not glaring; we continue to substitute kilts for real skirts.

Of all business women, the teacher is perhaps the most neglectful of herself. Her excuses are numerous. Her work in the first place is administering to the needs of others much to the detriment of her own self. She explains that she has no time to spare in which she can be given regular course of scalp treatments even though her hair is more likely to be filled with oil and dandruff than that of the ordinary woman. A particular case which I have in mind deals with a young teacher whose scalp was very tight, due to her high nervous tension and everyday strain. Her hair was naturally full of dandruff and so oily that it required a shampoo every week. When I found it was impossible to get her to have me give her a course of treatments which would relieve her condition, I compromised to spend two hours in the shop on the following Saturday morning. Armed with a new and interesting book, the teacher arrived promptly at nine o'clock to await the operation. When the hair was parted, the vibrator was applied to open the pores and lift any loosened dandruff. I applied a lotion made of mange cure and salt, with a small toothbrush, to this scalp and saturated her entire head with the lotion. The lotion was kept hot during its application by the use of a small double boiler made of porcelain, which is a requisite to every properly equipped beauty shop. After the expiration of one hour, I gave a vigorous shampoo, but it was not a success. I was forced to shampoo that head three times before the accumulation of dandruff and oil could be entirely removed. But after all, the result was gratifying, the oil was reduced to its natural quantity and the hair was free of dandruff.

SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 Exchange Column Important Events in Other Cities From the Front Pages of Hometon Papers Washington's population is recruited from all over the country. Almost every resident has an interest in some other community and it is natural that they should. The strictly Washington citizen is a wide awake person with an intelligent desire to be posted upon what is happening throughout the country. In an effort to supply these desires the Tribune has established an Exchange desk, where the publications of the Race are carefully scanned for news items that are of consequence in the "Home town."

PAGE FOUR Lincoln Lions Begin Training 一 In answer to a call issued by head coach Young, the Lincoln "Lions" end "Cubs" came on Rendall field Tuesday, September 15th, to begin practice for the strenuous campaign which has been mapped out for them. Captain Tad Lancaster was the first in uniform. Among the others of the old men who reported, were Lee, who was a sensation at half-back in the Howard game, Wilson, who will probably be a regular tackle this year; Ryan and Paul. Among the new comers were noted Wells, the big husky fellow from Lincoln University, Missouri; Ted Saunders, a 200 pounder from Texas, who will be an aspirant for the place vacated by Morgan; Julian Martin, a brother of Coach Martin is expected in a few days. He was a member of the Union squad two years ago. Anderson, who immortalized himself by playing in the Howard game with a broken rib, is expected during the week. There had been some doubt about his return, but it is now definitely known that he will be soon in the line again. Big Calloway, Goodman and the other regulars will be on the field when school opens. Several other new men who have already had considerable experience at other schools, are expected to report within another week or ten days. New Material at'Force Promising Wilberforce, Ohio, Sept. 25—The first two weeks of football practice at Wilberforce has been indulged in and from appearances it looks like the "Bull Dog" will reign supreme in the collegiate football world. All the old players are back except Sweet, last year's guard, will not be back. Slater, the six foot four inch tackle who has recovered from an injury will be back. Bickett may be in later in the season. There is a mass of new material and some show up very well. Hassell, of Kent, Ohio, is one of the most promising backs. He was captain of Kent High School team last year. He weighs 175 pounds and stands five feet ten inches. Bruce Longdon is out for quarterback. He hails from Prat, Kansas High School and is a triple threat man with the outstanding ability of a drop kicker. In practice he is making perfect goals from the 35 and 40 yard line. He weighs 155 pounds and stands five feet nine inches. Galloway, from Safira, (Kan.) High School, is making a good showing at tackle and looks to be the man to fill Wu Fang Ward's place. He weighs 210 pounds and stands five feet eleven inches. Burrell, of Roanoke, Virginia, is making a showing at left end, the place left vacant by Scotty Brown, and it will be a toss up as to whether he. Callen or Lewis will fill that berth. He weighs 150 pounds and stands five feet eight inches. Aside from these four outstanding figures of the new material, these are about twenty-five other men who later on in the season, through practice, may show good form. Ralph Jackson, of Flagstaff, Arizona, who played a stellar game last year when the Freshmen met the Sophomores, is doing well at a half position. He weighs 160 pounds and stands five feet nine inches. With all the old men back with the exception of Sweet Slater and Bickett, Wilberforce will have a heavy fast team that will make all opponents sit np and take notice. The first two weeks of practice consisted of the fundamentals. The third week's practice will consist of team work and a few plays. Troy A. C. is the first team to be met October 3d and it is predicted Wilberforce will have a walk away in this game, the "Home Coming" game at Wilberforce is with Lincoln University, of Pa., October 24, Kentucky State Normal, October 31. The team will travel to Washington, D. C., to meet Howard University, November, 7th Morris Brown is schedled at Atlanta, Ga., November 13th and the season will close with the old rival, West Virginia at Columbus, Ohio, Thanksgiving Day. Hilldale to Play Jersey Internationals Hilldale to Play Jersey Internationals Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23—Ed Bolden's triple champions of the Eastern Colored League have arranged a three game series with the Jersey City Internationals. Saturday, September 26, the Jersey plays at Hildale park and the following day Sunday, the Darby Daises travel to Jersey City and play the Skeeters a double header at the Jersey City International League Park. The Hildale team has been going great guns this season. In fact it is one of the best years that the Darby aggregation has had and the fans are always anxious to see the colored boys stack up against the white league teams. The Hildale pitching staff is conceded to be the best in colored ranks, with Nip Winters, Phil Cockrell, Rube Currie, Red Ryan, Script Lee and Bullet Campbell. The Skeeters will have to battle this array of twirlers who have blazed a path through the best clubs in the colored circuit. Effectiveness on the defense is a another department where the Hildale steam shows no weakness, Big George Carr, Bizz Mackey, Clint Thomas, and Judy Johnson pack a terrible punch and the rest of the gang have to be reckened with. Carr, without a doubt is the sensation of the Eastern circuit this season. The big fellow has clabbed on 25 home runs and played his position in faultless style. Paul Stevens, Hildale shortstop will have an ownunity to show his wares against M. Serg, who will play short step for the skeeters. Berg has just been sold to the Chicago White Sox Watson Puts Howard Squad Through Stiff Drills Watson P First Scrimmages are Held on Hill Coach Waton assisted by Charley West, former Washington and Jefferson star, has begun to put the candidates for the 1925 Howard University eleven through stiff workouts. Scrimmage Dividing the candidates into two squads as equally strong as possible they scrimmaged for the first time last Saturday. They scrimmaged again Monday and Thursday. Rain interfered with the work Thursday and the men given blackboard drills. In addition to the scrimmaging, the two coaches are schooling their charges through in football fundamentals. Signal dills are also being held. About fifty candidates have reported for pre-season training. So far as the coaches are concerned, none of them are sure for berths. Each new man has an equal chance with the old players who have returned. Weeding out of those who show no promise is scheduled to take place in a day or two, as the final touches are being put on for their first game, which will be against Morgan College next Saturday. Coming Along Fine. "The team is coming along fine, thinks Coach Watson. Howard prospects brightened considerable when Charley West arrived last week, bringing with him three high school stars from Washington, Pa.. Miff Martin, guard, also came along with them. Virginia Normal Gets Started By Irving A. Dorbigny Petersburg, Va., Sept.19.-With the initial contest of the season a scant two weeks away, the football squad at V. N. & I. I. began practice on September 12. Thirteen letter men returned:L. Turner, captain and end; Epp, halfback; Baker, quarterback; Sayles, fullback; Allen, halfback; T. Brown, end; H. C. Chambers, end; Tynes, tackle; Cotton, tackle; Thompson, guard; Slaughter, guard; H. Smith, guard; Christopher, center; Ross, D. Brown and Coles will be tryouts for the Howard University team in Washington, D. C. Among the men of last year's squad who will not return are Pannel,Banks, Boote, and J. Walker. The following members of last year's squad have reported—Bassett, Rogers, Winston, J. Chambers, P. Seldon, J. H. Shelton, Patton, D. M. Crockett, E. Finney, E. Bowman, Lacey, J. Pearce, Overby, Carter, Cadaden, A. Seldon, Washington, B. Coley, D. Smith, Lewis, Roberts and Richardson. Several new faces are to be glimpsed among the candidates—Rowe, quarterback of the Huntington High School, Newport News, Va.; Hundley, halfback of the same team; Durrah, fullback and Blackburn, end of the Slater Normal School, Winston-Salem, N.C.; Burke, center, Armstrong High School, Richmond, Va.; and Royal, quarterback, Peabody High School, Petersburg Va. The training, so far, has been blocking, passing, kicking and signal drill. Scrimmage will begin next week. The new men seem promising, while the old stand-bys are fast rounding into shape. While it is too early in the season to forecast, the prospects for success are bright. With a new coach and a new system there is always a problem; upon its solution depends the success of the team. Coach Finley comes here well prepared for his duties. He is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and holds the degree of B. P. E., fro Springfied College, Mass. He has also done graduate work at the University of Illinois. He was a member of the varsity football and basketball teams while at Tuskegee and played football at Springfield College. Last year he was director of physical education at Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri. Coach Finley is being assisted by Mr. Campbell, all star football player from Hampton Institute, Dean T. L. Puryear will lend the organization his wealth of experience and fighting spirit. The schedule is as follows: AT HOME October 3—A. & T. College October 17—Durham State Normal. October 31—Shaw University Nomveber 14—Union University (Home Coming Game) ABROAD October 10—St. Augustine at Raleigh, N.C. October 24—Hampton at Hampton November 6—Johnson C. Smith University at Roanoke November 26—St. Paul at Lawrenceville for a fat sum and will report next season, "Stevie" is known eve:y where that colored clubs perform and famous for his ground covering ability. "Snooks" Dowd, the second sacker for the Jersey is the leading base stealer of the International League and Lena Styles, the former Athletic player, will cover first base, because Red Holt who played that position through the season was sold to Connie Mack's Athletics and is finishing the season with the Philadelphia Americans.

The 1925 football season, for which training is well under way, should prove a banner one. Reports from training camps are optimistic. Most of the teams have lost but few letter men and at all of the colleges there is abundant new material out of which to weld capable machines. Coach U. S. Young at Lincoln perhaps is hit the hardest blow. He has lost the services of Crudup, end; Morgan, center, and "Jazz" Byrd, back. Yet he has his share of promising prospects and the 1925 Lincoln team should ably defend its championship title. Further indications are that Howard, Hampton, Virginia Union, St. Paul, A. and T., West Virginia Collegiate, Wilberforce, Simmons, Atlanta, Morehouse, Morris Brown, Tuskegee, Talladega and Paul Quinn will again have fine teams.

Jefferson besides having played high school football, his record discloses that he has been a member of the varsity eleven at Waynesburg college, Waynesburg, Pa. He is a tackle. Banks and Dillard have had four years of high school football. Dillard has been selected as an All-Western Pennsylvania end. Banks is a back. Charles West, former Washington and Jefferson star, who is now an assistant coach at Howard, brought these boys with him when he reported last week for duty. INTERSECTIONAL GAMES There will be a number of intersectional portant of which are the West Virginia, Charleston, W.Va., October 24; the Howard and A. the Wilberforce and Morris Brown games.

HILLDALE WINS EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP The Hildale baseball club, of Darby, Pa., which represents Philadelphia in the Eastern League, has won the 1925 league championship. In the western circuit, Kansas City won the race in the first half and St. Louis in the second half. A little world series is being played to decide which team will meet Hildale for the championship. Hildale has a great ball club and should win the world championship. The only rub is Mendez, the leader of the Kansas City Monarchs, or Jim Taylor, the leader of the St. Louis team, and Rube Foster, czar of the western league. A combination of Mendez and Rube, or Taylor and Rube, will produce more strategy than Bolden and Warfield can out-maneuver. Hildale had the better club last season, but the Monarchs had the better generalship and won. Hildale has a better club this year than either the Monarchs or St. Louis, but the generalship is again doubtful. Tuskegee Opens Season Today Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Two weeks of daily grind on Washington field have worked wonders in the Crimson team. Promising new material has shown up on the gridiron and several old men have joined the squad. The coaching staff has been completed by the addition of George W. Goodwin, one of Tuskegee's greatest fullbacks, who will have charge of the backfield, succeeding T. C. Myes, who has entered Columbia University; J. E. Fields, former varsity tackle of the Wilberforce University team, will handle the reserve material, and Edward L. Dabney, of Hampton three time All-American center will assist John Brown, former Virginia Union star, with the line. Brown has been appointed assistant to Cleve L. Abbott, head coach. The new men who have joined the squad are: Prater, Nash, Taylor, Crawford, Gilder, Kirkland, Bibb, Palmer, Shanklin, Adams and Willis. Kalabala continues to loom above mediocrity. The line has been strengthened by a m the return of Kitchen, captain of the team 1923 team; Duncan, end, captain of fac Harris of Chicago, Illinois, the driv- haw ONE WEEK Beginning MONDAY SEPT. 28 HOWA Matinee Daily, 2 P.M.—Eve., 8 P.

Marvelous improvement is noted in his kicking and at this time he is outdistancing Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple-threat man. The work on the field has consisted of tackling the dummy, charging, wind sprints, catching forward passes, heavy signal drills and light scrimmages for both the varsity and reserve teams. Coach Abbott when approached for a statement said: "We are striving to develop a fast, shifty team and basic football is being stressed." Assistant Coach, John Brown, who last year built the forward wall so that it would not shrink under the heaviest pressure, ventured the remark that the team would bear watching.

Watson Coach, Howard University The problem of securing officials mutually agreeable to contending teams has always been foremost in the managerial mind. It has often been the topic for discussion among followers of the game and not infrequently the cause of disparaging remarks and disruption of hitherto friendly relations on the gridiron. Officials should be chosen for major games because of their qualifications and not on more sentimentality. These qualifications should include a true sportman's character, a knowledge of the rules and of the game as it is played, and experience in "officiating games". The director of Physical Education at Howard University uses a plan that ought to bring complete satisfaction. As soon as a schedule has been finally arranged he addresses communications to the management of visiting teams offering a long list of officials who are reported to have worked acceptably in the past and suggesting the job that each is best adapted to fill. This is done sometime during the preceding school year and the choice of the visitors is final. Occasionally a name is recommended that does not appear on the list; but in such cases the Howard management always agrees. Officials are then notified of their selection and the game is played under their rulings. It must be remembered that officials render different interpretations of the rules. Obviously, some are wrong while others are right. Officials at best can only call what they see and not what spectators and others concerned see. All others therefore should be sympathetic and tolerant in accepting a decision. It may be so serious an error as to give the game to an undeserving contestant but the contestants have agreed to abide by the officials' decisions and these as well as the spectators should accept all decisions in a sportmanlike manner. This is trying at times but it offers splendid training in self discipline, one of the purposes of the sport. Now it often happens that an official giving a decision, right or wrong, at a crucial stage of the game renders himself very unpopular. Supporters of the team that suffers by the ruling brand the official with unpleasant epithets and if the official subsequently works a game played by the team that profited by his decision, "that gang has bought him in". Unfortunately there are very few outstanding officials able to weather the storm in a given locality. These are the men used most. The home management has to chose between using them at the risk of being accused of "buying them in" and experimenting with some untried and perhaps incompetent man to the detriment of the game. Morehouse Begins Training Atlanta, Ga., Sept., 22—Fall practice started Saturday. The rookies came out strong, and Coach Harvey is trying hard to put the old pep into the gang. Most of the old bunch is coming back. "Red" Williams, the big vity center, was laid up last season in the Benedict game with a badly injured knee. He won't be able to stand much rough stuff this season, but the plucky sub, Sherman, took his place and held it down like a veteran. This year Sherman is undoubtedly the best man for the position. Tondee, one of the famous "Ho-semen", had a broken ankle from baseball practice, and will not be able to come out this year. This is a severe loss to the team, because Tondee was an especially valuable end. His end runs always netted a gain, and the team will be considerably handicapped by his present inability. All rokie 'Horsemen' are back and rarin' to go. Clark. Arc. Rogers and Stiff Drills with hi the big whitee Hilldale Eastern timore noon at 5 to 0.

There are so many big men among the rookies, we can't say as yet who will be selected, but Latimer and Dooley seem to have a fighting chance. Without a doubt, Scott will call the signals again this year, and Dago will certainly keep the old fullback going strong. There is a fellow coming up from Talladega, Parker, who has a record of booting the pigskin for a consistent sixty. He has a fighting chance somewhere in the backfield. Winters Stars as Hillda'e Wins Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 20—Big Nip Wintes, lanky southpaw twirler, with his bat and trusty left arm, was the big noise in the neat coat of whitewash applied by Ed Bolden's Hildale Club, 1925 Champions of the Eastern Colleged League, to the Baltimore Black Sox, yesterday afternoon at Hildale Park. The score was 5 to 0. Nip held the Marylanders to seven hits, they being well scattered over nine innings and in addition socked out three hits himself, getting two doubles and a single. Captain Frank Warfield fairly scintilated afield, handling thirteen chances around the keystone sack without the resemblance of a slip-up. Paul Stevens, shortstop, also leaped into the limelight with sensational fielding cutting off numerous hits.

Or Phone Franklin 7483 Man Will Bring Samples "RUNNIN' WILD" Reviewed at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C., Monday, Sept. 21, by J. A. Jackson A packed house greeted the roadshow edition of the famed Miller and Lyles Broadway production of "Runnin' Wild;" and they received the largest fifty cents worth of entertainment that has ever been put into a theatrical package. Irving Miller, who has obtained the road righs to several of the Two and Three dollar shows, and in conjunction with his brother and several others is placing small editions of them on the road, has never done a better job. The show numbers about thirty people, and few of the members of the original cast are with it. That, however, does not militate against its being a snappy attraction, for the different parts are a talented and vigorous working bunch. Paul Floyd and Georgette Harvey are as of old, finished artists in the parts they created in the original show. Albert W. Jackson, doing the parts that were once those of Onions Jeffreys does them exceedingly well. In addition he shows himself to be a valuable utility man as well as a good dancer. The show boasts of four boys who are fast pedal pushers. Jackson is but one of them. Clitton Jones, William Collins and Peter Nugent are the others. 250 John Henderson makes an admirable juvenile lead, and should soon graduate to higher priced productions. Eddie Lemon and Gallie DeGaston doing the comedy roles that Miller and Lyles introduced, get as much laughter as could be desired from their respective parts. These boys prove themselves to be really funny fellows with a future of considerable promise. While the little chorus is not especially strong vocally, the girls are good to look upon, they work hard, dance gracefully and are nicely costumed. The absence of two girls who were due to be replaced here, weakened the chorus just a little, but not enough to hurt. Edward "Black Carl" Johnson, the experienced and astute would be unfamiliar with the intricate them thus and wait the arrival of two girls familiar with the show numbers than to mar the otherwise perfect rhythm of their work with new people who, even though experienced, would unfamiliar with the intricate steps involved. The audience should thank Johnson for his wily showmanship. J. Martin Free is ahead of the show and he need have no fear of billing this little show with its excellent scenery as strong as he is able. One misses but few, if any, of the special settings that were carried with the original show, except a tableaux at the finale of act one. And, that is immaterial. In all seventeen song numbers and five dance specialities grace the two hour performance. The Cast;Uncle Amos, Archie Cross; Tom Sharper, Paul C. Floyd; Ethel Hill, Anna Greeley; Jack Penn; John Henderson; Sarah Green, Miss Georgette Harvey; Mandy Little, Miss Musa Williams; Steve Jenkins, Eddie Lemons; Sam Peck, Gallie De Gaston; Officer Dumb, George McArthur; Ethel Little, Miss Edna Barr; Silas Green, Albert Jackson; Miss Mischief and Lucy Lanky, Miss Evelyn Keys.

Miller promises several such productions, and if they are all as good as is this, he will coin a lot of change this season, and Negro patronized theatres will get some good attractions. Micheaux Releases New Film Micheaux Releases New Film Story From Real Life with Competent Cast Well Photographed There was an exhibitors showing of Oscar Micheux's latest film "The Devil's Disciple" one of the three that have not been finished in a New York studio at the Broadway Theatre, on Sunday night, Sept. 20. Several exhibitors viewed the film and it will in all probability be shown at the Republic and Broadway theatres soon. Reports on the showing were sent to out of town managers who are interested in Negro cast films. The Page and another newspaper man covered the showing and were favorably impressed with the sharp clear technical workmanship that characterized the whole run. The story is based upon some real life experiences that are familiar to both the producer and the Page, a fact that should in some measure oblige the modification of any declaration that the story is fat-fetched. It is at times an ugly story but one that is essentially human. It starts with a tremendous 'Kick'. To disclose the details would be to rob the patron of the thrill produced. Some of the titles might get under the skin a bit, but there is basis for the cynicism expressed. This feature alone should give considerable interest to most audiences. Evelyn Preer, now under contract to David Belaezo, for an early appearance in "Lulu Belle" a piece with a mixed cast that is to be presented on Broadway has the lead part. She very capably plays two characters. Percy Verwayen, Edgar Thompson, Lawrence Chenault, "Mother" Robinson, Wm. Cornick, Salem T. Whitney and other familiar artists of the screen and stage. Some excellent views of street life and prominent edifices in the Harlem section of New York are seen in the film. There is little doubt that this is the best of a long series of Micheaux productions and if the other two filmed with the same cast prove as good there is great hope for the Negro in the industry. Mr. Micheaux is personally traveling with the film and while in Washington was domiciled at the Hotel Whitelaw. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Official Organ of the Colored Actors Union.

FLOSSIE LEE, LEONA AUSTIN, ELNORA FULLER, LEATHA HOLLOWAY and EDNA PAYNE are the well trained choristers with the show. "SONNY" the young comedian is credited with being a riot from start to finish. WALTER NELSON the only White Honorary Deacon in America and former manager of the "SUNNY SOUTH" sends greetings, and informs us that Mr. ROCKWELL has a nice combination headed by COLEY GRANT this season. COL. ED. SALTER has placed the Page on the list of papers filed with the JOHNNY JONES shows. An interesting reprint from the Warren, Ohio Tribune being the first evidence of the interest of a man who besides being the best publicity man in the outdoor show world, is as keen observer of life and as good friend as our group has in the land. After remaining in Washington long enough to conduct a very interesting Union meeting, JULES McGARR and his company resumed their tour at the Elmore theatre, Pittsburg, Pa. The Tribune office equipped him with a new supply of letterheads and other stationery before leaving. He is quite well satisfied with the progress the C. A. U. is making. C. JAY SMITH, one of the real oldtime capable managers of colored shows has sent a word from Chicago along with a copy of The BARNSTORMER, a clean little trade paper of 1915 in which a James Jackson is pictured. No, it was not the Page. MAHARAJAH the Mystic, has finished his summer season at Coney Island. He takes on the Fairs now for some weeks, going first to Riverhead and Minneola, Long Island. Incidentally, while in New York, the Tage found evidence that his old friend was out boosting for us. Thanks for such loyal friendship. RIPP and MILDRED A. JONES with the MILLER BROTHERS No. 2, SOUTHERN SHOWS, send regards to the profession in a letter to us that is highly encouraging to a writer starting on his own responsibility. New York Items By Charles A. Matson The Lafayette Theatre continues its good line of business. Next week they are offering the "Mississippi Days" an Irvin C. Miller production with a spicy vandeville bill headed by Covan and Walker. This is promising to be a cracker-jack show. Clifford and Bailey opened Monday at B. F. Moss' Broadway. Some of little old New York's best voices have been selected to be part of "Smashine Sammy" a musical comedy featuring the famous little star of the movies, one of which is a singing chorus, which is being put out by one of New York's greatest producers, Jessie Shipp is making the cast while Ellie Mack and Jimmie Johnson have written the score. There are a number of new and interesting sides being added to the usual musical comedy form generally presented by the colored producers. The writer happened to be in one of New York's famous booking offices that has been handling quite a number of Colored acts. He expressed extreme disgust with that angle of his business stating that they were not reliable and difficult to collect commissions from and for five dollars a week move would leave any good position. It is indeed deployable that such statement should come from producers of his magnitude for eventually it will work out that no agents will care to handle Colored material. Strangest to say the greatest white artist has a representative or manager while the Colored artists as soon as he becomes near great, overestimates his greatness and figures that he is "the" drawing card, and cannot be replaced. The writer sincerely hopes that something will be done to wake our artists up to impending disaster. Wm. A. Hann's Emperors of Song are to open the Cotton Club October 1st. They are booked through the C. A. Matson Office. Andy and his Andirons, that famous little dance orchestra from the Rose Danceland, 125th street and 7th Avenue, opened at the Cameo Club, 52nd Street and Broadway. They were booked through the C. A. Matson office. The Colored actors of America should come together and support the Actors union. Something should be done to stop promoters carrying shows out on the road promising salaries that are small enough and then only paying half of that. If the Actors union is supported by their actors and chorus girls throughout the country, this cannot exist. Come on actors let's go together and get behind the actors union.

This is our newest Corner, and Brother Scott is just about everything Masonic that has national significance. He is also the manager of "The Eastern Star" the official Journal of that branch of the Order, and it is a sprightly paper. Deacon National Director, Edward (Black Carl) Johnson is with the "Running Wild" show as manager. He is a 32 degree Mason, a good business man, and an interesting companion. We bespeak for him a royal welcome from all local Deacons and other Fraters who may have the opportunity of meeting him. You will be the winner by so doing. He is a "Regular fellow." His comedians, Eddie Lemon and Gallie DeGaston are both familiar with the letters too. Corners without local by-laws may have a copy of the Cleveland rules and regulations by asking the National office for it. It is the most adequate that has come in. Ed. D. Lee Passes Ed. D. Lee, owner of the "Creole Belles' who was obliged to close his shown in Kentucky in mid-season because of a paralytic stroke that occurred in mid-season, has passed away. According to a wire from his wife, Mrs. Sady Lee, he died at his home in Alexandria, La., on September 19. No plans have been announced for the future handling of his attraction, nor has disposition of his estate been publicly announced yet.

The affair took place after the September 17 performance. The party after an excellent supper and much dancing broke up singing "We won't go home until morning." The truth of the song may be attested to by the fact that it was then later than 6 A.M. Among the guests were Buck and Bubbles Johnmie Lee Long, and his entire Shu-Shi-Shu company, The Jenkins company, Sammy Graham, Phil, and Clarice, Doc Straine and Edith Wilson, Seymour and Kitchen, Anna Mae Cox owner of the Georgia Red Hots Co., Bobby Covington, Martha Copeland, Joseph Jones and Billy Mitchell with his entire company of co-workers with the little lady. Urgent business prevented the presence of the Page who was the only guest that failed to appear, hence the only one who missed a party that left a fine impression in Washington. The show jumped to Philadelphia from Washington. SAM E. REEVIN OF THE T. O. B. A. MAKE INVESTMENTS IN FLORIDA PROPERTY Nashville, Tenn., September 16—Sam E. Reevin, manager of the T. O. B. A., has recently returned to Chattanooga, after a much needed rest in Miami, Fla. Many of his friends hardly recognized him on account of the rejuvenation that had taken place since he left Chattanooga. As manager Reevin says in a letter under date of September 14. I can whip any man, even Jack Dempsey, bring him on. I feel in the pink of condition. Speaking of his trip to Miami, Fla. Had a splendid vacation to the land of sunshine and flowers. Visited Hollywood by the Sea, Corral Gables and other points of interest. While in Miami, I made a couple of good investments in Miami property, which I feel quite sure, will net me a handsome profit.

APOLOGIES TO THE PULLMAN COMPANY Immediately following our issue of the Twelfth instant, it was Jearned that some one assumed the authority and saw fit to stop the sale of The Washington Tribune at the news-stands in the Pullman yards because there appeared in it an editorial advoca- ting unionism among Pullman Porters, under the caption; “Unionizing Pullman Porters.” Of course we owe him an apolo- gy, not because we advocated unionism among the porters in our issue; but because we have not continually agitated it during the -four years of our publication. We can assure him that we are deeply and truly sorry that we did not take a hand earlier in training the voice of his porters so that it would be heard despite his unwillingness to ligten. Pullman Porters—twelve thousands in number—are over- worked and inadequately paid. They give to the company thou- sands of hours of work yearly, which mean a couple of million dollars saving for the company. They must submit to the prac- tice of “doubling out” ; child-like treatment by conductors; insults and humiliation by office boys and clerks, without ‘protest. And hecause of this we are sorry that we did not start our advocacy earlier. We know that this is a maladjustment; that, with the opening up of the various trade unions to Negroes, the Pullman’ Company is facing a crisis. Men who have gone North with some trade knowledge and entered the Pullman service are now leav-| ing the company’s employment to enter the trade unions, thus forcing the company to face an economic crisis. We know that the company does not desire to face an added burden. Therefore, we are taking advantage of the situation by advocating a plan’ of “Unionizing Pullman Porters.” THE TREND OF THOUGHT | In an editorial September Fifth, we expressed the opinion that our courts foster, rather than discourage marital separation, “by making it so easy for women to obtain a certain amount of free- dom and at the same time alimony sufficient to carry them on while they run in chase of romance.” And opined, “Our courts must grant less alimony, or at least make it less easy to be ob- tained. For as long as conditions remain unchanged, there is a temptation, upon the least provocation, to run to the courts, thus inereasing the burden of society.” It is indeed encouraging to find that this opinion found so ~warm a welcome in the mind of Justice Selah B. Strong, of the Second District, New York State Judiciary, that he felt called upon to express himself as follows: “I do not believe in awarding alimony unless there is good and sufficient reason for it. No flimsy excuses will avail before me. In these days of ‘equal rights there is no reason why a woman should be awarded alimony, J except cases where there are children. . . . I truly believe that alimony ‘keeps couples from becoming reconciled. The woman who is being supported by her husband under order of the court, generally speaking, is not very _enxious to effect a reconciliation with him. . . . I have studied court records and have found that there are twenty separation suits started to every divorce. Women only want alimony. They tire of their husbands, get rid ‘of them; but still hold out their hands for cash. . . . Everything considered, 1 believe alimony should be discontinued, because it keeps certain women Jazy, gratifies their revenge, makes men miserable and serves no good ends.” ANDERSON COMES TO WASHINGTON It is announced that William H. Anderson of New York is now a “special staff correspondent” of The Fellowship Forum, an official organ of the Ku Klux Klan, published here weekly. He is best known in and around New York because of his affiliation; with the Anti-Saloon Leagues and the like. His joining The Fellowship Forum means another broken cog in the wheel of human progress. For we can expect nothing constructive from him. ‘ He is a member of the old school of thought, unable to keep ‘pace with the rapid strides of civilization.

Matt. ~ i it their : (Continued from page 1) individual st a at that, | Boots . neral here last week, are anxious to have a colored man’ elected to suc- ceed Mr. Johnson. They expressed a readiness to use their influence in having any colored man who might be selected by the Georgia committee, ratified by the Republican National Committee. Opinion among them was well-nigh unanimous that Mr. Davis was the logical man. In the event, however, that he should deem his election impracticable, they think that he should support another colored man for the place, Mr. Davis who was here for the funeral, was non-committal, He said that he had not fully made up his mind whether he should be a candi- date or support somebody. It is a question with him, he said, of wheth- er he could exercise more influence in national politics by election to the national committee or continuing as secretary of the state committee and selecting someone who would be per: sonally responsible to him for his election. It is probable that the Republican State Central Committee of Georgia will act very soon in the selection of a suecessor to Mr, Johnson. Patron- age matte:s require this. Several va- cancies in major offices will occur very soon. The term of the present United States marshal for the southern dis- trict of Georgia is expiring in Noyem- ber, as is also the the term of the United States attorney and marshal in the northern district. The term of the postmaster at Atlanta is expiring in January. At the time of the death of Mr. Johnson there was an agreement un- der which Georgia patronage was han- dled, This agreement had the appro- val of Senator Killiam M. Butler, the| chairman of the Republican National Committee. It_ provided that Mr. Johnson and Dr. Gilliam should be: cozreferees and should agree upon all apBointees but in the event of their failure to agree, the head of the de- partment, under which the appoint ment came, was to make a decision. In several instances, they failed ts agree, but in each of them the head of the department making the ap- pointment decided with Mr. Johnson. Mrs. George S. Williams, the Re- publican National Committeewoman, for Georgia, has never been consulted on Georgia ‘patronage matters. It is not thought that she will now be con- sulted. It is likely that Dr. Gilliam, the state chairman, will control the patronage until a ‘successor to Mr. Johnson is decided upon, of its kind held in Ohio. It is planned to make the gathering an annual af- fair. _Ex-service men of the 317th, En- gineers, 325th, F. S.; 372nd Infantry, Ninth Batallion; 317th Am, Tr. 802nd Pioneer Infantry; 813th Pioneer In- fantry; 167th. F. A. M., Depot Bri- gades and all other units’ of the Nine- ty-second and Ninety-third Divisions are invited to be present at the meet- ing, which will open at 3 oclock in the evennig. Good speaking and music is promised by the committee which W. C. T. Ayers of Columbus, ex-lieu- tenant of infantry, is president. ‘The committee includes a very large number of veterans who are working for the success of the venture.

The Salesperson This new department seems to have met with favor albeit the folks behind ‘the counter and the travelling sales- men seem a bit loath to exploit their individual worle and views. At that, You are promised some interesting ar- ‘ticles from a variety of business au- thorities in later issues. Meanwhile let us have word of your connections Let the world know where you keep shop. Over in. Baltigiore, we met a, live wire salesman, for the second time. He is Rev. W. H. Roberts who was selling poetry and newspavers at the National Baptist Convention. He knows the selling game. His regular station is in Philadelphia. Met a Miss N. R. Callway in New York last week. She is selling silk inner and outer garments for the Yorkshire Mercantile Corp. and from comment of her patrons, she knows her goods, and has ability. We are not surprised at that for the young lady is a sister of George Calloway of Chicago who sells more suits of clothes to big southern business men than any other man on the road. Next week we are to be favored with the story of selling haberdashery from the pen of one of the owners of the finest store of the character owned by Negroes in America, and it is as fine as that of any people. Then we hav e a jewelry selling story in the offing. | Theatrical Notes STRONGHEART, WORLD'S GREAT- EST DOG ACTOR, COMES TO BROADWAY Strongheart, the wonder dog of the movies, will be featured in one of Jack London’s gieatest stories, “White Fang,’ at the Broadway Theatre on Sunday and Monday, September 28th and 29th, matinee daily.

KNOXVILLE FAIR CLOSED BY CITY OFFICIALS The Commercial State Fair, of Knoxville, Tenn. promoted by, C. E. Nelson was abruptly closed on Thurs- day, September 10, and the promoter placed under arrest. ‘The. Rice Broth- ers Carnival Co., was playing the date. The arrest was based upon a law that forbids any carnival playing the city except under auspices of the East Tennessee Division Fair, the White institution, ‘The whole action savors of rank prejudice for no arrangements for the participation of the colored citizens are ever contemplated in the plans of the older organization. Local publicity of the unfortunate end of. the colored fair indicates a lack of full co-operation”™6n the part of the Negroes in and about~ Knox- ville. This fact may haye influenced the city manager and his police de- partment in taking the action they did. Had the local manager been at- tending the sessions of, the National Negro Fair officials Association, he might have by this known chow. to avoid such situations.

BABY ERNESTINE was hoarse, but had to respond to tneores despite that. fact. JEMMIE BASKETT and EDDIE JOHNSON stepped proceedings with their turn.

THE PEKIN, NOW POLICE STATION Was First Nesre Shae The Pekin Theatre ,Chicago, the first house of the race group and one that has had a most interesting eareer has — converted to a police sta- tion. The premises that once provi- ded amusement to the southside now houses a precinct unit. The house was opened in 1901 by Bob Motts. Ed. Green was an early stage manager, Jerry Mills was an- other. “Dad” Love was the first gen- eral manager, and the Page sold the first night's tickets. Matt. Marshall, Harrison Stewart, Boots Allen, Andrew Tribble, Lottie Grady, and’ Miller and Lyles (whe were organized into a vaudeville-team in the lobby of the house to take a date that had been tendered to Hicks and Jackson) were among the early artists to appear there.

And the story is far off the beaten path. Tt tells aboot a small town girl who longed for New York luxury and who almost lost her reputation and family in realizing her desire. Lew Cody gives a great per- formance. “A Slave. of Fashion” is 4 Metro Goldwyn Picture. Once in a decade is found a subject so vast that the world pauses to look, a subject so human that each individ- ual is thrilled. Such a picture is “Capital Punishment.” It shows how ‘a man convicted of murder on purely circumstancial evidence is later found innocent of the crime. It is a mighty theme moulded into an unforgettable drama. The picture is portrayed by a cast, including Clara Bow, Elliot Dexter, Mary Carr, Margaret Livings- ton and George Hackathorne. It will be shown at the Republic on Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, September 30, October 1, 2. On Saturday, October 3, for one day only the Republic will present Marion Davies in “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” one of the greatest pictures ever made, presented in re- sponse to requests from patrons.

WHITE PASTOR FORCED TO RESIGN Nebraska City, Neb—Bishop A. J. Carey of the A.’ M. E. Church was but in a very trying position in this city on the occasion of the celebration of the Ku Klux Klan here, Preparatory to its intensive drive for-new mem- bers in the Middle West. Hurriedly called to this city, he however, over- came the opposition of the Ku Klux and put them definitely to route and caused the leader to resign his posi- tion as pastor. ‘The Ku Klux leaders of this city advertised “a Mammoth Ku Klux Pa- rade and Mass Meeting.” This meet- ing was held Sunday of August 16th. The Ku Klux Committee brought. as its orator of the day one of their na- tional Kleagles from Denver, Colora- do. At 2:30 on Sunday, a’ line of hooded men marched from the court house to one of the groves of the city along the banks: of the river. The speaker stated the purpose for which the Ku Klux Klan was organ- ized. To propagate the Protestant religion, to oppose Jews and Catholics, to control the Negro in his relation to the white race and to maintain the supremacy of “White America.” The pastor of the First Methodist Epis- copal Church led the Ku Klux parade and was one of-the prominent speak- ers on'the program. He delivered the opening prayer and thanked Diety that under divine direction this or- ganization had been horn. He con- fessed to his Maker that he didn’t mind calling the “Nigger” brother, ut that he was larely opposed to call him brother-imlaw.> ?P° The Right Rev. A. J. Carey, of Chi cago, Bishop of the 6th Episcopal Dis- trict’ was called over the long dis- tance phone at Denver, and petitioned to serve as speaker for the new octa- sion. In his speech the Bishop's attack upon the Ky Klox movement, and his appeal to the white people of that. city for a better comprehension of the Christ Spirit, wes so powerful that for one hour and forty-five minutes there was not a dry eye in the hoase. His effort was almost super-human. As a result of thig speech the people of this: town openly avowed disfavor toward the Ku Xlax movement and the pastor of this wealthy church has been asked to resign, CEeENS ss he PR JE REALTER IONS 1D exe AR « re C.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1925 Seek to Hold Straugh Estate For Bank Debt Seek to Hold Straugh Estate For Bank Debt According to an answer to the petition for letters of administration on the estate of the late Nathan Straughters filed by Charles H. Houston, an attorney, who with Augustus W. Gray is a receiver of the defunct Union Labor Bank, M.s. Mamie Straughters, of 1602 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, has failed to report certain assets on the estate. Attorney Houston seeks to charge the estate with liability for the indebtedness of the defunct bank, of which Mr. Straughters was a general partner, a trustee, director, and shareholder. He would have the probate court to require his widow to file a bond based on the total value of the property as he sets out in his answer. In her petition for letters of administration, Mrs. Straighters claimed that the estate of her hnshand, real and personal is worth only $2,075 and that the debts amounted to $2,308.10. This estate, she says, consists of an equity in property at No. 1420 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, valued at $1,600 and a Dodge automobile valued at $475. Mr. Houston claims that on April 11, 1924, Mr. Straighters owned an equity in No. 937 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, valued at $6,000; No. 939 Rhode Island Avenue, valued at $5,800; No. 1602 Vermont Avenue, valued at $7,000, and No. 1921 Vermont Avenue valued at $10,000. On April 31, 1924, Mr. Houston charges, Mr. Straighters and his wife with intent to delay, defeat and defraud his creditors and more particularly the depositors of the Union Laborers Bank, conveyed this property without any valuable consideration to his son-in-law, Charles Duncan Francis, and his daughter, Annie T. Francis, and they conveyed it without any valuable consideration to Mrs. Mamie A. Straighters. Mr. Houston denies that the debts enumerated by Mrs. Straighters in her petition are the only ones owed by the estate. He claims that the deceased is indebted to him as a receiver of the Union Laborers Bank in the sum of $11,624.08. The bond for he administration of the estate, which will be based upon the value of the estate, has not yet been fixed by the court. Y. W. C A. NEWS Mrs. L. N.
