T.L.JONESTHREATENED IN COURT
POLICEMAN RUSHES AT THOS. L. JONES IN TRAFFIC COURT
FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION
T.L.J POLICEMAN RUSH L. JONES IN TRA
As the result of a verbal attack and alleged attempted assault upon Assistant United States District Attorney Thomas L. Jones, in Traffic Court, Policeman L. E. Batchelor of the Fourth Precinct must explain his conduct to the officials of the police department.
The incident occurred last Saturday in the presence of Presiding Judge
Isaac Hitt, following the disposal of a traffic case in which the policeman was the complainant. During the trial he is said to have interrupted the proceedings by an open remark with reference to the manner in which Mr Jones was conducting the prosecution. Following the disposal of the case, it is said, the policeman expressed his feelings by the use of epithets, resulting in an exchange of heated words, and but for the intervention of a court attache, police say, the policeman would have done physical violence to Mr. Jones. Policeman Oriani, attached to the court, leaped between them, as the policeman with a threat, it is alleged, made a break for Mr. Jones. The policeman was haled before Judge Hitt on a contempt charge. A fine of $10 or a twenty-four day sentence was imposed upon him. Assistant District Attorney Jones then made a plea for leniency, and at his instance the fine was remitted and the policeman given a reprimand. An investigation was ordered last Tuesday by police officials immediately after the matter was brought to their attention. Inspector William G. Stott obtained statements from the parties concerned, which have been presented to Assistant Superintendent of Police Henry Pratt.

PRUDENTIALBANK SHOWS STEADY GROWTH
The financial arrangements involved in the change in the personnel of The Tribune and the additions of the departments that preceded the augmented paper that is now before our readers were handled by the Prudential Bank. The Murray Brothers, S. H. Dudley and the editors of The Tribune, all men actively interested in race progress, are pleased to report to our readers that the intricate problems of corporate financing involved in their businesses, were handled entirely through the Prudential Bank.
In common with the progressive business interests of our group in Washington, we are pleased to know from experience that we can boast of our banking institutions that can meet every need of a growing business.
This bank, less than two years old, already has deposits exceeding $263,000 dollars. Its paid-up capital is over $49,000 and it is authorized to make increases up to $200,000 as the expense of its business warrants.
This careful policy enables the avoidance of over-capitalization, yet permits of a proper co-ordination of the essentials of conservative business.
Great interest by the public is being manifested in the Extension Campaign being conducted by the Board of Directors of the Prudential Bank.
Old depositors and team workers are bringing in new accounts. The average number of new accounts per day, is larger than at any time since the bank has been open.
This is as it should be. Every man and woman of color, not doing their business at the Industrial, should have an account at The Prudential Bank. We should subscribe for stock at the bank. If we, as a people, are to accomplish anything at all, it is to be accomplished through our own efforts.
Go to the Prudential Bank and open a bank account.
Support our own institutions, and they will support the progress of our economic life.
The executives of the bank are: John R. Hawkins, president; A. M. Curtis, vice-president; P. W. Price, vice-president; Thomas Walker, vice-president; C. W. Banton, vice-president; Edward A. Baker, cashier.
All these men are of substantial reputation and known ability.
Neval H. Thomas To Speak
Neval H. Thomas To Speak
"The Denver Conference will be the subject of an address by Prof. Neval H. Thomas, president of the District of Columbia Branch, N. A. A. C. P. at its fall meeting in the Young Women's Christian Association Building, 9th and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, Wednesday evening.
"Attempted segregation at the American League Baseball Park will be discussed."
Editor's Note:The foregoing is a release which came to The Tribune from Mr. Neval H. Thomas. However, a release to another local Race paper gives information that other matters than those above mentioned are to be considered. Such dissembling seems unfair to the public and to the newspapers, for people are likely to think that one paper or the other has suppressed certain facts for sinister reasons.
SCHOOL BANK IS RUN BY GIRLS
Downingtown, Pa., Oct. 3 (By The Associated Negro Press)—Four girls, students of the commercial department, have been elected to manage the Downingtown School Commercial Bank, a school organization in which the student organization is represented nearly 100 per cent.
WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1925
GEORGIA PAPER SCORES SOUTH'S MOB LAW
Macon, Ga., Sept. 30—The Macon Telegraph, leading daily paper of this city, commenting editorially on recent lynchings, says: "We have not yet emerged from the age of barbism. Unless there comes out of these crimes in which men take the laws under which they live into their own hands, the swift and sure punishment that should come, we cannot really claim to be civilized. We have the veneer of civilization and the coatings of modern invention, but if we condone those crimes against society we have the primal instincts of the brute and the savage."
ZION CHURCHES HOLD DISTRICT CONFERENCE
ZION CHURCHES HOLD DISTRICT CONFERENCE
By Rev. H. T. Medford
The Washington District Conference, S. S.; V. C. E. and W. H. & F. Missionary Convention met in annual session at Brentwood, Md. (a suburb of Washington) September 30th to October 2, 1925. Rev. O. L. Rand was the pastor-host and Rev. J. H. Tucker, S. T. B., the presiding elder, chairman.
Rev. W. R. Jones delivered an instructive annual sermon.
In the election of officers Mr. C. H. Anderson was elected secretary and ye scribe was asked to report to the papers.
Presiding Elder Tucker was associated by the following district officers in the prosecution of the work of the conference. Mr. Victor J. Tulane, superintendent of Sunday schools; Mrs. B. G. Gilmore, V. C. Society; Miss Sarah J. Janifer, W. H. & F. Missionary Society; Mrs. Ada H. H. Battle, secretary Young Women's Branch; Mrs. Gertrude McDonald, president Buds of Promise.
These officers presided at the periods set apart for reports from their departments. The various reports showed the church generally, with the various departments to be in a healthy and growing condition.
Special features of the conference were the general discussions on "Religious Experiences," led by Dr. W. D. Battle and H. T. Medford, and address on "Best method of conducting a model Sunday School" by Miss Florence Callahan, an expert in Sunday School activity of Washington. Prof. W. S. Nelson of Howard University delivered a telling address on "Religious Education." Bishop and Mrs. J. S. Caldwell of Philadelphia spent part of two days as guests of the conference.
The Bishop electrified the meeting with a fine address. Mrs. J. S. Caldwell was presented at the missionary session and made earnest and inspiring remarks. Dr. F. R. Killingsworth, pastor at Arlington, Va., preached a powerful sermon the closing evening of the conference.
Miss Sarah J. Janifer who attended the last world Sunday School Convention in Tokyo, Japan, and Miss M. L. Mason, the well-known star of Zion correspondent, both of Washington, led the discussion on "The demands of the home mission work" in a timely way. Presiding Elder Tucker, in his well poised and thoughtful manner presided over the deliberations pleasingly and impartially. He is alive to every interest, which means the advancement of the work.
The pastor, Rev. O. L. Rand, and his membership of the Brentwood church, entertained the conference in an unusually ample and systematic way. Much credit is due Pastor Rand and his membership.
Twenty-one Taken in Big Gambling Raid
Twenty-one persons were taken to the Eighth precinct station house early last Sunday morning as the result of a raid conducted by the police on a house at No. 1833 Sixth Street, Northwest. The officers say that a crap game was in progress in one room and a blackjack game in another. The occupant of the premises, who was running the dice game, told the police that he knew nothing about the blackjack game. John Allen, 40, of that address was charged with permitting gaming. The others were released.
PORTERS HOLD MEETING IN BOSTON
Union Growing Rapidly
Tuesday night, September 29th in the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Boston Local of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was started. An enthusiastic audience greeted A. Philip Randolph, the general organizer, and Mr. Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer of the B. of S. C. P.
After introduction, Mr. Lancaster, who was a former secretary of the Grievance Committee of the Pennsylvania Section of the Employee Plan, showed how he saw the futility of the plan as a means of adjusting the grievances of porters, introduced Mr. Randolph who followed with a comprehensive survey of the problems of the porters.
"All of the other workers on the railroads are organized except the Pullman Porters. The Pullman Car Conductors are organized and as a result of their organization, they begin with $155.00 a month and splendid labor conditions. If the white worker who receive more pay, work shorter hours and have better labor conditions than the Nego workers, are organized and find it useful, why on earth won't the Pullman Porters, too, find organization profitable," observed the speaker.
He very forcefully pointed out that the Pullman Company would give the Pullman Porters not a cent more now better working conditions than the porters themselves feel that they ought to have. Said he, "Workers don't get the wage they ought to receive for their labor, but on the contrary they get the wage which they are able to demand as a result of their power, and that power was the result of organization." He said, "That the engineers are the highest paid workers on the railroads because they are well organized." Continued Mr. Randolph, "That the union was begun in New York, August the 25th, and is now engaged in a nation-wide organization campaign."
Boston is the second stop since Mr. Randolph and Mr. Lancaster left New York. Their first stop was in Washington, D. C. There they were assists by the Big Four Brotherhoods, who assured the porters of their support.
Mr. Randolph assured the men that they need have no worries about their monies because their funds are deposited in the Locomotive Engineers' Bank in New York City, that a certified public account is handling their books which guarantees accuracy and that the men who handle the money are being bonded. Thus their money is safe. He very emphatically assured them that they could have absolute faith in their leadership for he would not desert them for all of the millions of the Pullman Company.
He answered Mr. Bannister of Philadelphia who recently attacked the movement. He showed that the porters could only be organized by persons not in the employ of the company.
He praised his assistants, saying that Mr. Lancaster was both honorable and able and independent and that he had lost his job in the Pullman Company because of his fight for the men, which the men ought to appreciate.
From Boston, Mr. Randolph and Mr. Lancaster will go to Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City and other points west. A surprisingly large number of porters who have been thirty and forty years in the service are joining. "One porter," said Mr. Randolph, "has contributed $50.00 to the organization campaign and made a loan of $35.00 to the work." Mr. Randolph said to our reporter that the Boston porters have responded encouragingly.
His aim is to get fifty-one per cent, so as, according to the rules and regulations of the Railroad Labor Board, to become the lawful spokesman of the Pullman Porters.
Mr. Randolph emphasized the fact that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is not affiliated with any other organization. It is entirely independent and that the men themselves will determine what organizatoin the union will affiliate with whenever they see fit, but he advises the porters not discuss the question of affiliation until they are thoroughly organized. Mr. Randolph is quite gratified with the splendid moral support the press, white and colored is giving the movement. He says that this movement is the biggest single economic effort ever started among Negroes and that the eyes of the world are on the race.

WHITE ADMITS ASSAULT ON
COLORED GIRL
Raleigh, N.C., Oct. 8 (By The Associated Negro Press)—Wallace Powell, an eighteen-year-old boy, was found guilty in the Wake County Superior court here of an attack on Mozelle Jones, 14-year-old colored girl. The white boy had admitted his guilt in the city court, and was sentenced to six months on the road. The conviction in Superior Court came on appeal. The counsel for the defense when asked by the court what he thought the punishment should be, told the court "suspended sentence and a light fine." R. N. Simms, attorney for the prosecution advised the judge that the case of Powell was one in which he, the court, had an opportunity to do the right thing and protect colored women. The attack on the girl occurred in the home of the boy's brother while no one was home. Negroes all get death sentences for attacks like these.

COURT Y ORDERS PROBE NOS AT HOSPITAL
The alleged murder of William Green, an inmate of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, July 17, 1924, has led to a sensational report by a Federal grand jury to the Supreme Court of the Disit Howard Hall especially, where the criminally insane inmates are condemning the conduct and conditions fined.
At the same time an indictment for manslaughter was returned against William McIntyre and Irwin R. Sweeney, white attendants at the hospital, who are accused of having beaten Green to death when he refused to submit to having his hair cut.
In connection with the inquiry into the cause of death of Green, the grand jury made an investigation as to the general condition of life at St. Elizabeth's.
The report tates that "The grand jury visited the hospital in a body and was shown about the grounds and through many of the buildings. As William Green came to his death in Howard Hall, they inspected it with greater care and more closely than they did the other buildings."
Congress should be asked, the grand jurors point out, to authorize presidential appointment of a commission to investigate "questionable cases at St. Elizabeth's."
The grand jury report, says that reports are current that there are "many persons now confined who are not now and never were insane, but who have been sent there for ulterior motives."
Howard Hall, the report says, was designed for 100 patients, but there are twice that number accommodated there. "Here are confined not only those of the dangerously insane type," it says, "but, as well, those who have become insane while serving criminal sentences in Federal prisons and penitentiaries."
The lack of recreation facilities was also scored.
Daniel A. Edwards was the foreman of the grand jury which made the report. The manslaughter indictment was returned separately.

He admitted that on the day in question he had been with her, but with her permission, and stated that scars she had on her neck were probably made by her husband. His story made quite an impression on the court, but he was found guilty. It is understood a recommendation will be made that he be given a prison sentence rather than death.

THE WOMEN'S REALM
This department is being operated in the interests of the community, via the persons who have charge of home and the children. The editor asks the co-operation of such persons to the extent of suggestions that have been found to be successful and profitable in their homes. We desire to pass on labor saving, money saving or time saving ideas to our readers to the general benefit of all.
Perhaps it may help a mite toward obtaining more leisure, more pleasure and greater interest in reading for the woman whose "work is never done."—The Editors.
Women are substantially the same the world over. City or country makes little difference in so far as their interests are concerned. This fact was revealed by a survey of a typical New York apartment house that was recently made by the New York World. The following facts were developed:
Typical Sentiment of Apartment House
1. Hunger for intimate, friendly woman-to-woman-talk.
2. Interest in mild, personal gossip of all sorts, local and general.
3. Women with children absorbed in them, proud of them.
4. Pride in housekeeping typical of all, housewife or breadwinner.
5. High cost of living and kindred topics general subjects of discussion.
6. Movies and radio of universal interest.
7. One-half the women interested in church.
8. Intellectual self-consciousness the general rule.
9. Few club women; fewer interested in politics.
10. Temperament, not environment or life's burdens, condition of happiness.
In all probability Washington would disclose practically the same results, for after all, "Julia Grady and the captains lady are sisters under the skin."
About The Season's Flowers
Chrysanthemums, which previously were associated with the football season and house decorations, are now being worn on all occasions in miniature form. They come in all colors and lend a Fall tone to the costume. Gift flowers are being shown on evening dresses of black, brown, gold and some of the pastel shades. Flat silk pansies are a new note in flowers and are particularly suitable for shoulder wear, as they can be worn under a coat or wrap without being crushed.

BE BEAUTIFUL
BY MADAME KATHERINE WILSON
This column is conducted by Madame Katherine Wilson, author of The Successful Hairdresser and founder of the famous California Sun Parlor and School of Beauty Culture in Omaha, Nebraska. She will be glad to answer questions of a reasonable length. She will answer correspondents who inclose postage for a return reply. Questions for her should be addressed to Mme. Katherine Wilson, The Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Ill., or to The Tribune. There is no reason why hair should appear straight to the extent of being stringy after having it straightened with a hot iron. Why not have the operator put in a large marcel? I have seen many pretty waved coiffures made up with hair which had been previously straightened.
There is no reason to worry about a healthy coat of tan acquired at the beach. It only proves one a modern girl and not one of the old fashioned ornaments whose face and arms were protected by veils and parasols of chiffon, and arm length gloves. It is indeed a pleasure for me to aid in getting those sunburned arms ready for the bright colored evening dresses that are looked forward to this fall.
Before retiring scrub the arms vigorously with a good bath brush, using a pure soap, then dry the arms with a coarse bath towel and apply a heavy coat of cold cream from the tips of the fingers to the shoulders and massage the entire arm, paying particular attention to the elbows. Next sprinkle a thick coating of almond meal over the cold cream. The almond meal will adhere to the cream and form a paste. Then wrap a bath towel, which has been dipped into very hot water, around the arms and allow it to remain until it becomes cool. Repeat with the hot towel about a half dozen times. Wipe off the remaining paste with the damp towels (do not wash), allowing the cream left on the arm to soak into the skin.
Repeat this process until the arms are velvety and free of freckles and tan. I am quite sure they will be beautiful to behold before you are ready to wear those new fall frocks. But if my treatment should fail, you should worry because long sleeves are all the rage this fall.
Morning exercises and the daily dozen, done in rhythm to a wonderful Edison Record, ought to bring any woman down to that popular 110 size providing she observed strict rules of diet.

SOME NUTS RECEIPTS
(as published in the N.Y. Tribune)
It Is Nut Season
Now that nuts are to be had virtually on every street corner, and a great variety of them available in specialty nut stores which the Institute frequents this time of year, look through your scrap books and your recipe files for dishes in which nuts are used either as chief constituent or for a subtle flavoring or as a garnish. And serve nuts with the home dinner; they are just as good for 'families as for guests.
A Good Nutcracker
And if you don't possess a good nut-cracker which will completely open the shell without crushing the kernel get one now, and you will use nuts more frequently in your cooking all through the winter. We have used such a nutcracker—it is for sale in many stores about this city—and recommend it as a time-saver and thumb protector, especially in shelling pecans and oval-shaped nuts.
Black Walnuts
There have been so many echoes from the black walnut cream pie recipe which we printed (out of season) last June that we are offering it to our readers again, now that autumn is here.
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups hot milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon walnut extract
¼ pound ground black walnuts.
Mix dry ingredients add egg yolk slightly beaten and slowly add the hot milk, stirring until smooth. Cook for fifteen minutes in a double boiler, stirring until thickened. Add flavoring and ground nuts, pour into baked crust and spread over the top a meringue made of the beaten egg whites to which has been added one tablepoon granulated sugar. Put in moderate oven—350 degrees—and let brown evenly over the ton.
Nut Pies
Another recipe we printed recently was for ordinary custard pie, with the addition of one cup finely ground nuts to the filling. The nuts rise to the top in the baking, forming a lucious top crust. Marrons, which are popular either as confections or in mixtures and may be happily combined, we think, with mashed sweet potatoes and bananas, may also be used in an especially rich chocolate pie recipe.
self and friends are counteracting the good effect of persistent exercising. Also eliminate the regular half brick of ice cream before retiring. Furthermore, can you not see how much more popular you will be with the boys at the club, when you order, instead of the regular meal, a pot of tea with a slice of lemon and dry toast?
PARIS GIRLS DON UGLY GLASSES
TO BE CHIC
Many pretty young women in Paris appear to have bad eyes. The answer is—fashion.
Not that fashion expects Parisian women really to be shortsighted. But they must contrive to give a myopic impression, seemingly because they have seen so many American men wearing big horn-rimmed glasses and everything American is chic just now.
A well known opticia nsays he sells a hundred pairs of spectacles daily to smart women. The rims are made to match the colors of the wearers' dress—rose, green, red, blue and all sorts of other tints.
At race meets and evening parties lovely young girls seem looking like the traditional elderly governess of other days with unsightly glasses accentuating her silhouette.
The miracle of feminine adaptation operates as usual, however, and for all the ugliness of the horn rims the modern Parisienne still contrives to look bewitching and attractive.
ANYONE MAY BE BEAUTIFUL
A feature writer in the N. Y. World begins a story on the art of plastic surgery with the following as an introduction. It is so encouraging that we have taken the liberty of passing it to our readers.
Any girl, nowadays, can be a beauty if she really wants. All she needs is a great deal of patience, courage, a little understanding of the principles of light and shade and two or three thousand dollars.
Beauty, once upon a time, was something that one had or didn't have. The girl who had it thanked Allah or Krishna and married a man who could buy her all the ankle bracelets in the bazaar. The girl who didn't, humbly made way for the lovely one and hoped for better luck in her next incarnation.
But so far has the art of plastic surgery advanced and so far has the cosmetic phobia retreated that practically any girl can elect herself a beauty if she tries hard enough

INTERVIEWS
By VEE TEE TEE
INTERVIEWS WITH DISTINCTIVE WOMEN
(Editor's note: The following is the first of a series of interviews with women who have attained distinction, by a special Tribune staff woman writer.)
GEORGETTE HARVEY
A Real Artist An Unusual
HISTORY
Mrs. Georgette Harvey, who was seen during the week of September 21st in "Runnin' Wild," is an artist of rare ability. She plays the role of Sarah Green, the widow of Silas Green, with ease, throwing herself into the part she originated in the bigger first show in such a manner as to arouse the interest of the audience in the plot of the show.
She shows plenty of "pep" and snap throughout the production. Her rendition of "Old Log Cabin Days" was cleverly done. Possessing a wonderfully clear and resonant tenor voice of rare quality for a woman, she is able to hold her audience spellbound for the moment when she presents an emotional portrayal of her son, then in an instant side-steps and gives a taste of modern "jazz" equally as well done. As a result she pleases and receives encore after encore.
Her work in the quartette with Musa Williams, Edna Bark and Aurora Greely, is well done and goes big, winning tremendous applause.
Miss Harvey when interviewed by the writer added to her already achieved virtues. Her off-stage manner is very pleasing and attractive. She proved to be a wonderful conversationalist and her extensive travel made her even more interesting than the display of her ability. She explained the extent of her travel in other countries, her first real appearance abroad being in Austria, Hungary, with Alice Mackey, Lucretia Knox and Sally Green, the first colored female quartette to distinguish itself abroad.
She lived in Russia about fifteen years and left only when the revolution broke out in that country. She spent two and one-half years in China and Japan acting in the capacity of interpreter and English instructor.
Miss Harvey has traveled all over Europe and speaks seven different languages. She explained her presence in this country after such a successful sojourn abroad as being simply temporary because of her mother, to whom she is greatly devoted. She is a native of St. Louis, Mo., having been 'born educated, married and divorced there,' as she humorously puts it. In the event of her mother's passing, she explained, Europe would be her home indefinitely.
Much more could be said of Miss Harvey, but suffice to say, she is a superbly interesting character, well worthy of emulation by our young and budding artists.
Radio fans listening in Saturday night, September 26, about 12 o'clock over WRC of Washington were honored with several selections by Miss Harvey, the subject of this sketch.
Many Cities Await Heralded Southern Soprano
Many Cities Await Heralded Southern Soprano
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. (By the Associated Negro Press) Music lovers here and in Southern and Mid-Atlantic cities are looking forward to the appearance of Mrs. Nell Hunter, lyric soprano of Durham, North Carolina, who has completed plans for a tour which will take her as far South as Tuskegee, as far West as Nashville
© A.N.P.
and through the intervening cities to New York City. The trip will be made immediately after her appearance at the North Carolina State Fair, where she is to be presented as one of the features.
Mrs. Hunter, who is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College, through her ability as a soloist has gained the approval of the musical critics, wherever she has appeared. According to the Durham Morning Herald, Mrs. Hunter "possesses a lyric soprano of remarkable charm and purity of tone." A musical critic on the Raleigh Times declares she "has a splendid voice smooth, flexible and
THE FASHION REVIEW
BY NAN VALENTINE
Exclusive Tribune Feature
The cool weather has brought a big demand for light weight top coats, for both sports and utility wear. In these models it is interesting to note the decided tendency on the part of the utility coat to meet the more formal sports coat on common ground. In both these styles of coats straight lines predominate, with the shoulder flare registering next in importance. The great designers are acute to the sense of color appreciation, and realizing that a coat must be worn with a number of frocks, are concentrating on colors which will blend easily. The absence of embroideries of any kind is a note worth mentioning: everywhere there is apparent a desire to keep the coat one tone as near as possible. In other words if contrasting colored fabrics are introduced in inlay seams or appliqued treatments, they are generally in neutral effects instead of gay contrasts.
At the present moment black and gray are the leading favorites for the utility coat, but there is a strong under-current of favor for the pansy shades and many of the coat houses are banking heavily on a materialization of the vogue for these shades this season.
Dark blues are shown but are not particularly strong in the early orders; at the same time there are some who expect much of navy, but "about navy one can never tell" as one designer put it.
The mannish mixtures deserve more than mere mention, for they are being stressed by both men's and women's wear houses. Brownish shades of red a little softer than terra-cotta and corresponding more to the wollen shade known as tangerine also receive
Mrs. Hunter has also won the praises of other musicians and writers among whom are Harry T. Burleigh and Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson. Mr. Burleigh wrote Mrs. Hunter:
"The more I think about it the more certain I am that you will become one of our great artists. You have brains, voice, heart, intelligence, aptitude, temperament, ambition, application, and a magnificent physical equipment."
Mrs. Nelson after hearing Mrs. Hunter declared, "To say that I enjoyed it is putting it extremely mildly. 'Enjoyed' is not the word. It was rather a deep sense of ultimate satisfaction that permeated my entire being when she sang."

Seeks America's Most Beautiful and Popular Colored Girls
(By the Associated Negro Press) Who is Miss Colored America? Officials of the National Negro Business League who already are laying plans for the 1926 meeting are determined to find out. One of the most interesting features of the Tulsa meeting this year was the popularity contest in which various Oklahoma cities vied with one another to name their favorite daughters Miss Oklahoma, and delegates from dozens of other states expressed a desire at the next meeting to see their own girls represented as well. Roscoe Dunjee, president of the Oklahoma State League, was appointed chairman of a committee to work out a feasible program which would embrace all of the cities of the country and give each of them an opportunity to present its charming representatives, while it would be of interest to the business men, of every community. Mr. Dunjee has written Secretary Holsey that the committee has an interesting plan to present, one which will catch the fancy of the most charming girls in the country and the business men and women as well. So that the 1926 League meeting ought to give a definite answer to the query, Who is Miss Colored America?

endorsement in all the well-posted coat houses. The unlined coat of flannel for sport wear sometimes in monotone effect, with especial emphasis on gray and sometimes in pastel plaids, complimented by a black velveteen collar is attaining an eminent place in the mode. Sheared and looped wool continue to figure as trimming on the sports coats.
One of our leading shops is showing a line of sport coats of heavy mannish tweeds.
It is expected that these coats will have an early play with the collegiate trade, and will in some instances take the place of the raccoon coat which was such a strong favorite last year. Another interesting feature of this year's coats is the emphasis which is being placed on the utility coat which follows the Prince of Wales top coat with the half-belt in the back or the pinched-in waist line effect.
Another interesting feature of the coats now on display, is the careful avoidance of border effects on the hem-line.
The better shops, it seems, are sponsoring luxurious fur collars and cuffs. While a number of collars are still in the large convertible effects of last season, there is quite a strong accent placed on the long shawl collar of fur carried to hip line, but more often to the hem of the coat.
A combination of shawl and tuxedo collar is effected on a coat designed by Lucien Lelong, while a single pleat at each side introduces fulness to the model.
It is rather unanimously agreed upon that the best coat lengths will be from 42-48 inches this season and the plain crepe lining is favored.

It's the woman who always pays—that is old stuff. Nowadays it is the man who pays, and pays. At least that is true in the case of Rolandus Cooper, who is being sued for an absolute divoce by his wife, Regina M. Cooper, of 117½ Thomas Street, No.thwest.
Justice Bailey last Friday in the equity division of the District Supreme Court signed an order granting the custody of Roland Cooper, their seven-year-old son, to the maternal and ordering Rolandus Cooper to pay grandparents in Bridgeport, Conn., to them the sum of $20 a month for his care and maintenance.
The court order provides that Roland must be sent to his maternal grand-parents by October 16 next, by which time the first payment must be paid. Rolandus Cooper is also ordered to pay the necessary fare for the transportation of Roland.

On September 4, last, Justice Moehling awarded Mrs. Cooper $40 a month temporary alimony, at which time he indicated that there would have to be a revision upward of the alimony whenever the temporary custody of the child should be decided.
The father has had custody of Roland with the mother having the privilege to keep him in the day-time.
Mrs. Cooper is represented by Geo. E. C. Hayes. E. Russell Kelly appears for Mr. Cooper.

Another way to remind himself is to wear his seout badge reversed until he has done his good turn.

NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA
ALDRIDGE, IRA—Born about 1810 at Bel Air, Md. Died at Lodz, Poland, in 1887. He is the most famous of Negro actors. He has had few equals in the part of Othello, the Moor.
Aldridge's grandfather who was a ruling prince in the Senegal Country in Africa was, with all his family except one son, murdered in an uprising. This son came to America and was educated for the ministry. In time he married. The son Ira was also intended for the ministry. He was sent to Schenectady College in New York. Thence he was sent to Glasgow University, Scotland, where he carried off many prizes, including the medal for composition. He, however, abandoned the theology for the stage.
After many disappointments he made his debut at the Royal Theatre London, in 1833, as Othello the Moor. He also appeared at the Coburg, Sadler's Wells, Olympia, and Covent Garden Theatres in London, playing Othello, Gambia (in "The Slave"), and other characters with great success. After this he made a provincial tour, playing in most of the principal towns from one end of the kingdom to the other, his reception in every instance being of the most flattering kind. At Belfast, Edmund Kean showed his admiration by playing Iago to Aldridge's Othello.
At Manchester, the famous singer, Madame Malibran, wrote him that never in her whole professional career had she witnessed such an interesting and powerful performance. Lady Beecher (famous as Miss 'Niel, the actress) wrote: "During my professional as well as private life I never have seen so correct a portraiture of Othello." The King of Prussia presented him the Prussian "Gold Medal of the first-class for Art and Science," which had been previously awarded only to the great philosopher Humboldt, the composer Spontini and the musician Liszt. The *Emperor of Austria conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold.
The City of Berne gave him a magnificent Maltese Cross with Medal of Merit. He also received the "Royal Saxe-Ernest House Order" which confers a title higher than that of "Sir" so much coveted in England. Aldridge had a reception even more flattering in Russia. He was made a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts and Sciences in St. Petersburg, and of many other honorable and learned societies.
In most cases the membership was conveyed by means of handsome medals, accompanied in many cases by autograph letters. His widow and his two gifted daughters, Amanda Ira (Montague Ring) and Luranah, reside in London.

From Beersheba unto Dan,
Show the men who doubt the story,
That the Negro is a man.
Know you not that in this nation
We are placed beneath a ban?
It is said we are inferior;
That the Negro is no man.
If you wish your race to suffer,
Prejudice, and hatred Ian.
Show yourselves dumb driven cattle—
That the Negro is no man.
Boys and girls of noble spirit,
Boys and girls who say, "I can,"
Show and prove beyond all cavil,
That the Negro is a man.
Bring your race up to the standard,
It is not now in the van;
But can show by honest effort,
That the Negro is a man.
Loud assertions will not prove it,
Never did since time began,
We must offer facts and figures,
Showing that he is a man.
Prove it in the fields of business,
And in every way you can,
Prove it, yes, to all the nations
That the Negro is a man.
Prove it, yes, so very plainly,
They whose history's pages scan,
Will be forced to the admission
That the Negro is a man.
Man in mind, and man in morals;
Man in courage; man in span;
And in all that makes true manhood,
Show the Negro is a man.
If you only do your duty,
And conform to heaven's plan,
You will solve the vexed problem—
Is the Negro man "a man"?

Now that we have tried tea biscuits, and English biscuits, let's try Emergency Biscuits. If some one should come in unexpectedly for tea we can rush through with the following recipe.
Emergency Biscuits
You take 2 cups of flour; 4 teaspoonful baking powder; $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful salt; 2 teaspoonsful butter; $ \frac{3}{4} $ cup milk.
Mix dry ingredients and sift twice. Work in butter with tips of fingers, add milk gradually and mix with knife to a soft dough. It may be necessary to add more milk because the dough should be soft enough to drop from spoon without spreading. Drop by spoonful on buttered pan half an inch apart. Brush over with milk and bake in hot oven eight minutes.

"Success or failure in life depends upon four things," the Senator declared. He enumerated honesty, good judgment, industry and personality.
He told the students that "it is the easiest thing in the word to hire men at $100 a month, but if you want men whose services are worth $5,000 a year it is harder to get them." It is still harder, he said, to get men whose services are worth $10,000 a year, and if you want men whose services are worth $20,000 or $25,000 a year, they generally have to be taken away from somebody else.
He told of the work of the Inter-parliamentary Union, over which he presided during that day, and its purpose of promoting peace and prosperity in the world.

According to the report of the American financial adviser and general receiver of Haiti made to Secretary of State Kellogg for the fiscal year ending September 30, last, "from every point of view the finances and commerce of Haiti may be regarded as in a prosperous condition, and as having shown consistent and decided improvement over the past few years."
He said that there had been applications for membership in the freshmen classes of the academic college from 1,513 young men and women, and 127 teachers ranging from bachelors of art to doctors of philosophy had applied for work at Howard University at the beginning of this scholastic year. Dr. Dumas declared that in spite of criticism the university was still forging to the front.
He reports that "Commerce is flourishing, and there is a gratifying excess of exports over imports. Receipts have been large, and expenditures have been maintained well within receipts. Public funds have been devoted to constructive purposes and waste has been reduced to a minimum.

Meantime there are rumblings of political strife in Haiti caused by the pending call for legislative elections which are scheduled for January 10. Secretary Kellogg has received a letter from a group of directors of Haitian newspapers intimating possible trouble in the island republic and requesting that the Government of the United States see that the call for elections be issued October 10.
Elections

under a call to be issue three months prior to the election. President Luis Borno has power under the constitution to withhold the call until October 10, 1927.
The letter of protest assumes that next year "American officials here and their Haitian agents plan to repeat the coup of 1922 and to have the President elected by the council of state, a body of 21 officials, named and revoked by the President of the republic as he may see fit."
The attention of Secretary Kellogg is called to "the systematic opposition with which Haitian request have always been met by American officials in Haiti and by their Haitian creatures and proteges."
The State Department has no disposition to interfere in the Haitian political situation, and no uneasiness is felt here regarding the possibility of a revolution resulting from failure to issue the election call next month

Masonic Musings
(By Mae)
Felix Lodge No. 3, F. A. A. M., celebrated its 79th anniversary at the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, 3rd and L Streets, S. W., on Sunday night, September 27th, with a nicely arranged program. The celebration was very timely, as this year marks the 100th anniversary of Free Masonry among our group in this jurisdiction, Social Lodge No. 1, having been set aside in June, 1825. Social, being the mother lodge, together with Felix No. 3 and Universal No. 2 (now located in Alexandria, Va. and holding charter under the Virginia jurisdiction), formed the first Masonic Grand Lodge in this city in the year of 1848.
Past Deputy Grand Master William H. Underwood was master of ceremonies at the anniversary sermon, and he added many timely remarks and proved to be a splendid selection, as historical touches to the epoch-making event. The anniversary sarmon was preached by the pastor of Mt. Moriah, Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, D. D., who delivered a stirring message, after the history of the Lodge had been read by the eminent secretary, Past Master Chas. C. Carter. Other eloquent features were the welcome address to the lodge on behalf of the church, delivered by J. E. Epps, two fine cornet solos by Israel Twitty, and three splendid numbers by the vested choir of Mt. Moriah.
The entire cabinet of elective officers of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge, headed by Most Worshipful Grand Master Charles P. Ford, was present as guests of honor on this occasion. Other Masonic guests included Rev. Anthony J. Williams, Worshipful Master of Meridian Lodge No. 6, Oliver H. Brown, Worshipful Master and Peter A.

8th Precint Officers Make Liquor Haul
An early Sunday morning raid, led by Lieut. Charles Brenemann and Detectives James E. Lowry and Howard W. Smith, netted 79 gallons of alleged whiskey, one Dodge automobile and three arrests.
In response to a tip that a car was unloading liquor at No. 1836 Fourth Street, Northwest, police from the Eighth precinct went to that address. Upon their arrival, the occupants of the automobile fled. Two were captured, but one made a clean get-away. The officers found a quantity of alleged whiskey in the automobile and confiscated the car. Clarence Proctor, 18, laborer, 314 T Street, Northwest, and Henry Allen, 24, a janitor, 2227 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, were arrested on charges of transportation and illegal possession.
In the house the police found 54 gallons of alleged liquor. They arrested Sadie Marshall, 35, 1836 Fourth Street. She was charged with illegal possession. She was released on a cash collateral of $500. The owner of the house is said to be in New York. Police believe that a gang of notorious bootleggers, who have rented the garage have been using the basement to store their liquor. The woman gave them the name of the head of the ring and told them that the alleged liquor belonged to him.

Hawkins, Grand Prelate, followed by an address of welcome by the pastor, Rev. W. D. Battle, with a response by the Vice Eminent Deputy Grand Commander, Dr. Silas S. Thompson. These preliminaries led up to the principal address by Rev. Lewis H. Sheaf, which was very interesting as well as historical. Most Worshipful Grand Master Chas. P. Ford made a few timely remarks, after which Past Grand Commander Charles D. Freeman gave a short history of the Cyrenes, and was in turn followed by the Grand Commander, Right Eminent Sir Jeremiah Scott. The speeches were interspersed by splendid renditions by the choir of Galbraith Church, and the ceremonies of the dedication of the flag were indeed impressive, with harles D. Freeman acting as prelate, and responses by the large number of Sir Knights assembled. Refreshments were served afterwards in the basement of the church.

THE METROPOLITAN A. M. E.
Very favorable comment was made last Sunday by the large congregation which attended the morning service at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Rev. Chas. E. Stewart, pastor, concerning the return of the senior choir to active duty and the character of the music given at that service.
A quartet composed of Misses Smothers, Williams, and Messrs. Champ and Thompson was especially well received. The chorus work done under the direction of Mr. Lewis was up to his usual intelligent interpretation.
Efforts are being made to increase the membership to 75 voices with the intention of presenting a suitable oratorio during the Christmas holidays.

LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL
TEMPLE NOTES
At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "An Adequate Gospel." Why is the gospel apparently so ineffective in Washington? How do we account for the fact, that less than one-third of the people here are nominally Christians? In spite of the large number of white ministers in Washington who have splendid training, why is it impossible for white and colored churches to unite in any cooperative way? What is the trouble? The gospel of Christ is adequate.
ST. CYPIAN'S PLANNING BIG

wishes to announce to our many patrons and friends that during the eight years that we have been in business our slogan has been and still is "Efficiency and Service."
As to our efficiency and service during that time, we can refer you to those families who have been our patrons in their hour of great distress.
We have never made or attempted to make the price of our funerals. We leave that entirely to those whom we serve.
We think that every normal family knows better what it wants to spend and is able to spend on its deceased loved ones, than any disinterested undertaker could know; therefore we leave the subject of cost entirely up to you.
We do say, however, that we handle the same line of goods that any or all of our competitors handle, and we can assure you that none of them can or will display more patience or take more time in showing you through spacious show rooms and helping you to make the cost of your selection whatever YOU want to make it, and not what WE want to make it.

What is a friend? A friend is one who does not (in time of bereavement) take advantage of you by petting you on the back and saying you are a good fellow and at the same time putting his hand in your pocket and relieving you of all the cash you have; but a friend is one who (in the time of bereavement) comes in and advises the best thing to do, gives the best service for the least money, takes full charge of all arrangements and leaves something left for those who are left behind.
Such friendship is exemplified by

contemplated by the representatives who adjusted

FIRST IN WASHINGTON
Four .and a half years ago, we presented to
Washington a new and better newspaper of six
columns and eight pages. It'was more than pre-
tentious, as its record will show. It was, in fact,
a superior paper. The founders: of. what bids
fair to be the most representative and?influential
newspaper institution of. the Race, knew there
was a demand, never more craving, for a real
representive newspaper at. the nation’s. capital.
First, Washington itself demanded an institution
through which its needs and desires could be ex-
pressed and fostered; and. second,. the- States
looked to Washington with the hope of finding
invita newspapez with backbone and principle—
one-worthy. of trust and deserving to reflect: the
needs<andidemands of 12,000,000: Colored: Ameri-

the:several States, exerts an influence upon these

ANOTHER WORLD SERIES
Perhaps two of the most evenly matched base-
ball clubs which ever met in a world series are
now battling for the crown of the year. Our own
club, Washington, has more experience, perhaps
more determination to win than any other in the
major leagues and a more dependable pitching
staff; but Pittsburg has speed and power, whick
can not be lightly weighted.
A world series is short, snappy, and. studded
with many uncertainties. A pebble, a hard
mound in the diamond, just one “let up,” may de-
cide the classic. Yet we can trust Clark Griffith's
warriors to run out every ball, take advantage
of every “break,” and rise above themselves when
a hit is required to push the needed run across
the plate, We are therefore pulling for Wash-
ington to win in a series which bids fair to be
one of the best ever played.
You cannot make your friends today, and bene-
fit from them today. They must have been made
yesterday.

at that, it served to show how ‘hard boied’ our
younger set is getting. They believe the white

‘foundation for their reasoning.
Just as we have the high cost of living ad-
justed, or rather have become adjusted to it,
along comes another menace to our happiness,
The “high cost of divorces” is now the burning
question, These judges have made the divorce
a positively allusing thing for the girls, All
they have to do now is marry a fellow they don’t
want, enter suit when the marriage certificate
gets a few days old, and be assured of an income
approximating five hundred dollarg per year, That
is just about equal to having a ten-thousand-dollar
fortune, and much easier acquired, But think
of the poor fish who has to work for the fist
week or two of each month without one cent of
profit to himself, not even sustenance that “The
Ex.” may be properly caparifoned while she
stalks the “Next.” Qur sympathy goes out to
them. Justice Selah B. St‘ong of New York who
states’ that “In this enlightened day when the
sexes are supposed to be equal, I do not believe
that childless wives. should receive alimony.
Women today err as much as men”: and continues
with “Alimony should be discontinued for it-keeps
certain women lazy, gratifies their revenge, makes
men mise:able and serves no good.end.” He said
a mouthful:
See by the New. York papers that a check on
several busy corners reveals that nearly 25 per
cent of the men are going about hatless. The
vogue seems not to have :éached Washington yet,
but give us time. Besides, if it does, it won't look
half as funny as do those fellows who. strut

Letters to Editor
VIVIAN RTE e A OLS
HENRY- LINCOLN JONSON
Editor;
Washington Tribune,
My deav. Sir:
‘As a representative of the younger
men of the State of Georgia, the
State from which Honorable Lincoln
Johnson hailed; as an ardent: admirer
of his. undisputed: worth to. America
and the fifteen milliom’ struggling
souls he so energetically ‘represented;
as a beneficiary of his, wise -advice:on
many. matters. effeeting-my future, |
am sure it is fittensand proper that }
should write a few-words:of ‘him.
One of his. greatest: assets; to the
fifteen million_eolored_ Americans. as
well as himself, was that he: adhered
‘to the doctrine of Socrates: whose. ad-
monition to. the Greeks..was; “Know
thyself.” That Henry Lincoln John-
son knew himself is amply. evidenced
by his unhesitating utilization of his
great_ powers for the good: of the
Republican party and his. people.
With the exception. of Booker T.
Washington and Frederick Douglas, 1
am sure I speak the trath, when I say
that no man ever lived whose devotion
to his people and their. cause was_more
pronouneed and unselfish.
He belonged to that great school
of Sumner, Garrison. and. Phillips, a
schook the» dwindling. of: whose per-
sonnel is viewed with such grave con-
cern by the present generation.
His real greatness..was found in
abounding. simplicity, in every avenue
of his activity, for he eould “walk
with kings” and yet “not lose'the com-
mon touch.”
In the words of Dr. P. James. Bry-
ant, “He is not dead. He-is simply
sleeping.” A quarter-of-a century of
hard work for that which is good, for
that. whiehvis: right, has\plaeed inthe
hearts and minds of his constituency
an enternal memory that: will be ever
cherished with a fervent truelove. He
quietly went, to. sleep; and when he
id, the-angels of destiny placed upon
his brow,.a.crown. of fadeless. glory,
which the terrific: storms. of the ages
shall not efface.. “The deeds of good
men. live-after them.” That is why
Henry Lincoln Johnson shall. never
die. The energizing force of his pow-
erful. personality, asa result of his
death, is simply transplanted into the
immortality of his many noble deeds,
there to live with the ages.

RECENT LYNCHINGS
. Falls Church, Va.
The two recent lynchings in’ the
‘South will do more to disturb the la-
bor market than a let down in immi-
gration bars, | Can anything be more
illustrative of the fact that in many
places in the South men have not
evolved as high mentally or morally
‘as the lowest grade mammals that eat
their off-spring?
Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia
are three states comparable for the
depth of their infamy in mass mur-
der and the crime of lynching only
to darkest Siberia under the Czar and
in some parts of white Prussia, now.
Of all the infamous crimes yet con-
tracted in Georgia, the homicidal
minded maniacs who broke in an In-
sane Asylum and lynched a mind-gone
inmate who killed a nurse, have set
the crime standard for unfettered mo-
rons of that state,
And yet against all venomous in-
‘spired hatred of the legal chain gangs
and peonage farms of Florida, lynch-
‘ings in Georgia and Missisippi, the
Negro who has gone north has made
good beyond his dreams. Even the
very bad press head lines of some
northern papers fail td stop his pro-
‘gress.
The Noel crime in which the press
eiatined the chauffeur who was killed
‘by the mad-man Noel had kidnapped
the girl killed by Noel reacted as~a
boomerang. The Negro in face of
these handicaps and propaganda has
made more progress along the lines
of education, wealth, and culture in
the last ten years than in fifty years
preceding. The unseen factors have
jain in prohibition, immigration and
the racial hatred of an unregenerate
South that seems to learn nothing and
make for nil the efforts of a well-
intending body of intelligent Ameri-
‘cans yet in the South.

The activities of the community center will be resumed under the direction of volunteer workers, Mrs. Pelham told the delegates.

Y. W. C. A. NEWS
Mrs. M. A. McAdoo was hostess to a group of young people from the Metropolitan Baptist Sunday School, Wednesday Afternoon Tea in the social hall of the "Y." The picture was a pretty one—a big cherry fire burning in the open grate and all floor-lamps were alight. This pleased the young people. The yall expressed themselves as having had a perfect afternoon and promised to become active members of the association.
Rev. M. J. Key spoke at Vespers Sunday giving a most illuminating talk on his trip to the Holy Land. All board members are expected to be present at the first meeting, October 12.
The Fall Conference, October 16, 17 and 18 draws near. The programs are interesting and instructive; the speakers are Rev. Chas H. Wesley, Dean Lucy D. Slowe, Miss Hettie Anderson, general secretary of E Street "Y," Miss Sayda Hartman, Industrial Secretary E Sreet "Y," Mrs. Alice McNeill, Bible Instructor, Miss Marion Miles, Girl Reserve graduate, Rev.

Howard Unimpressive In Defeating Morgan
Howard Unimpressive In Defeating Morgan
In its initial start of the season last Saturday, the Howard University eleven was victorious but not impressive. The Blue and White machine defeated Morgan College of Baltimore by a score of 27 to 0. From the comparative sizes of the two elevens and taking into consideration the fact that Morgan is a secondary school, the Howard score should have been twice as large.
First Half/Colorless
The first half of the game was colorless. Howard played straight football and by sheer force of strength scored a touchdown in the first quarter and another in the second. A successful try for the extra point made the score stand 13 to 0 at the end of the half.
On the offensive the Morgan eleven was unable to make any persistent gains at the running game. Their lighter backs were thrown back as they hit the heavy Howard line and repeatedly the Howard tackles broke through the thin Morgan line and threw them for losses.
Aerial Attack
Shortly after the beginning of the second half, Clark, the diminutive Morgan quarterback who got his early training at the East Orange High School of East Orange, N.J., furnished the first thrill of the game as he gained twenty-yards off-tackle from a kick formation. Howard made its third touchdown in the third quarter and another extra point. The Morgan team was undaunted, however, and with forlorn hope resorted to an aerial attack. Clark completed a forward pass to Robinson, the Morgan left half-back. Then followed during the remainder of the game fourteen attempts at forward passing, six of which were completed and brought the Morgan team within twenty yards of the Howard goal line. Howard showed a weak defense against the overhead attack.
The Blue and White eleven scored its fourth touchdown and third extra point in the fourth quarter, making the final count 27 to 0.
During the game Coach Louis Watson gave Payne, McLean and Jack Coles, who are fighting for the regular quarterback position, opportunity to show their generalship.
The first casualty of the game was Edgar Long, captain of the Howard eleven. He got slightly hurt in the first quarter and had to watch his teammates from the sidelines during the remainder of the game.
Dan Brown, fullback, was the big gun in the Howard offense in the first half of the game.
"Tubby" Miller, Howard guard, who was seriously injured in an automobile accident in his home town last summer, was sent into the line-up in the third quarter.
"Red" Tyson, halfback, was slightly injured in tackling a Morgan player. Blood trickled down his face, but he continued to play. He is one of the new men who will be seen in Howard colors this year. He comes from Uniontown, Pa.

Lincoln Lions Down Newark A.C.40-0
By M. A. Wolff
Elkton, Md., Oct. 3—Presenting a considerably stronger front and more determined attack than last year when they were defeated by the Lincoln Lions by a score of 65-0, the Newark A. C. of Newark, Delaware bowed in defeat before the Lincoln University eleven here. The final score was 40-0.
The score is no indication that Lincoln as yet has a championship team for on the contrary the squad was a disappointment in many respects to the coaching staff. The line was weak forming on certain plays, tackling was poor, interference decidedly lacking, and fumbles were frequent. Saunders at center and Brown at quarter displayed poor form. Batts Brown in plunging through the line and skirting the ends, had poor support. However, the game was marked by some brilliant plays, particularly in the first and last quarters. Tom Lee, responsible for the first touchdown, Bourne, Toodle, Lancaster, Butts Brown Hibbler, Goodman and Grasty, though not in their best form, played a good game.

Hilldale Team Leads in World Championship Series

Eastern Team Wins 3 Games and Loses 1
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 4—Nip Winters, ace of the Hildale pitching staff, who beat the Kansas City Monarchs in three games in the 1924 world championship series, went to the mound today for the Eastern club and won a 7-to-3 victory when given great support by his mates, who also batted timely. Today's win gives Hilldale a lead of three games to one.
The visitors were first to score, counting in the opening frame on Warfield's infield hit and a long single by Carr on a hit-and-run play. Joseph tripped in the second, and scored when Mackey dropped Warfield's throw to the plate on Hawkins' grounder.
Hildale went into the lead in the fourth on Mackey's triple and Johnson's long sacrifice fly to Sweatt. They added another in the fifth. Stevens beat out a hit to Moore, stole second and scored on Briggs' single to right. The Easterners filled the bases in the sixth with two out, but couldn't score, Winters rolling out, Allen to Hawkins. Sweatt's double in the seventh and Drake's triple gave Kansas City a run, but Drake was caught trying to score when Judy Johnson leaped and grabbed Allen's high bounder, tossed to Mackey, who tagged Drake and threw to Warfield, getting Allen trying to reach second.
Hildale tucked the game away in their half of the ninth. George Johnson opened with a triple, Winters scored him with a single. Stevens forced Winters at second. Briggs doubled to right and Stevens stopped at third. Warfield tripled to right scoring Stevens and Briggs counted himself when Joseph missed McNair's peg to third.
Kansas City made a last stand in their half of the ninth. Joseph singled, Hawkins beat out a slow roller to J. Johnson and Sweatt singled to right, scoring Joseph. Mackey threw out Duncan. Foreman batted for Drake and flied to Thomas and Allen flied to Briggs.
Winters set eight Westerners down on strikes. Both clubs left tonight over the Missouri Pacific for Philadelphia, where they resume the series playing Thursday.

Virginia Normal and Aggies in 0-0 Tie
Virginia Normal and Aggies in 0-0 Tie
Petersburg, Va., Oct. 3—Although out-weighed, the Virginia Normal experienced North Carolina team to a scoreless tie.
Out-played by the visitors in the first-half the blue and yellow rallied in the second period and threatened to score when a drop-kick by Baker from the 40-yard line went wide.
The feature of the game was a 65-yard punt by Baker from behind his goal line. The ball going over the head of Bell, the A. and T. quarter, rolled to the A. and T. 3-yard line where it was downed by Turner and Brown, the Virginia Normal ends. Coleman and Wilson were the bright lights for the visitors, both frequently making long gains through left guard and around end.
On the offensive, Sayles and Royal were outstanding for the Petersburgers. Sayles cutting deep gashes in the A. & T line for long gains, while Royal aided by good interference from Slaughter, Tynes and Thompson dodged and wiggled his way through the entire A. & T. primary defense for a forty-yard return of a free kick. Epps and Chambers were very effective in breaking the visitor's aerial attack. A. & T. made two first downs in rapid succession following the kick-off made two first downs in rapid succession following the kick-off after which the blue and yellow line then held strong and the delayed bucks of the North Carolinians were ineffective. Twice the visitors were within striking distance of the goal and each time were thrown back by the Virginia Normal defense. The game was marred by frequent penalties.

Dempsey Signing His Championship Away
2
Niles, Mich., Oct. 7—Here is a photograph showing Jack Dempsey signing for a heavyweight championship bout with Harry Wills to be staged at Floyd Fitzsimmons' Michigan City, Ind., arena, sometime in September, 1926. Wills chased the champion for four years before finally getting him to agree to the match, and in writing. It seems to be the general impression that Dempsey is himself financing the bout, giving Wills a certain guarantee and planning to pocket the rest of the gate receipts for himself. Dempsey is shown signing the fight articles. Wills gazes fondly as the champion affixes his signature.
SPORTS CHATTER
The Sports Calendar
The sports calendar for this week was full. Fall racing at Laurel got under wa ylast. Tuesday; the Word Series with the Griffen local favorites started in Pittsburgh on Wednesday; the Kansas City Monarchs and the Hildale club resumed their series for the colored baseball championship in Philadelphia on Thursday and today the first big football games will be staged with Livingstone and Howard as the local attraction. Surely it was a full card for the sportsmaan.
Good Card at Laurel Opening
Those who journeyed to Laurel on the opening day were rewarded with a good card. The Capital handicap was the feature. Wise Counsellor, who beat Epinard, the French champion on this same course last fall, defeated Singlefoot and Sarazen, the favorite, with Sande up. Candy Kid, a Whitney colt, led to the stretch, but when challenged by Wise Counsellor quit. Sarazen was played heavily, but his conduct at the barrier told his backers that he would be beaten. The best he could do was to show.
The Griffs—Our Choice
"Youth must be served," so the adage runs, but somehow this does not seem to apply to the Griffmen. They seem to go on forever. Against the speed and youth of the Pirates towers the experience of Clark Griffith's hirelings, and in the crucial moments of the big contest when youth falters experience will carry on to another world championship.
Pirates' Trainer Colored
In the approach of a world series much is written about the players and seemingly the man who, day in and day out, keeps those players in condition, is forgotten. How many fans know that the trainer of the Pittsburgh Pirates is a colored man? The praises of Trainer Austin are not sung, but were it not for him, would the Pirates have been able to have
St. Paul Overwhelms North Carolinians
St. Paul Overwhelms North Carolinians
Lawrenceville, Va., October 3—St. Paul had a big job defeating North Carolina State Normal School 15 to 3 this afternoon.
St. Paul played hard and uncorked all she had, but the maneuvers of the North Carolina State boys almost proved the undoing of the "wonder team." St. Paul was forced to a defensive game three-fourths of the time, and she was held scoreless in the first and third periods. Jimmie Hudson's field goal from his 25-yard line in the second somewhat relieved the monotony, but the field goal by Everett in the third period from State's twenty-six yard line tied the score.
St. Paul opened the last quarter with an indomitable will, and with a series of brilliant plays, caught the visitors unawares. The Tigers' line attack in the fourth period was the death knell to the State boys whose fond hopes of victory went to naught when Robinson circled their right end for twenty yards and a touchdown. Another spurt in the final minutes of play resulted in a touchdown by Smith through center.
The Carolinians played a great game. Their performance on Russell Field today surpassed all expectations. While the thirteen men who
gone through the National League race victorious? The work of the trainer is done in the clubhouse and in the thick of battle the fan little thinks that he is responsible for that fine co-ordination of muscle with brain that is seen on the playing field. So, here's to Trainer Austin, and Mike Martin too.
Hilldale Cinches Championship
The Hilldale Club, representatives of Philadelphia in the Eastern League, has practically cinched the colored world's championship. In Kansas City they won three out of four games from the Monarchs and returned East sitting pretty. In two of these games in the West, Washington boys figured. They were Script Lee and Nip Winters. Both won the games they pitched. Script Lee and Nip Winters had their beginning on Washington sandlots. They were with the LeDroit Tigers in their early days, and after a little seasoning with Chappie Johnson at Norfolk went to the Hilldale where they rose to stardom.
"What Price Glory?"
The presence of three men on the Howard University eleven, who were in Virginia Normal colors last season, and three high school boys from Washington, Pa., where they learned football under a former Washington and Jefferson coach, leads to the question, "What Price Glory?" Fotball is purely an academic sport, and it should be kept so. But it cannot be when the bigger institutions violate all rules in efforts to produce a winning eleven. Certainly a school as large as Howard should have an one-year elegibility rule.

Building A Winning Football Team
Building A Winning Football Team
By Louis L. Watson,
Head Coach, Howard University
A winning football team is one
that is made up of a group of men
working together and harmonizing in
smooth machine-like fashion under the
direction of a master mind. It is not
the spontaneous assembly of a group
of "stars." It may be the blending
of the rather mediocre qualities of a
squad of unheard of athletes. It's
never the result of selfish individual-
istic performance.
Now the master mind is the Coach.
He must first know men; and secondly,
he must know the game. Knowledge
of the rules, plays, conditioning,
etc. are tentamount to success, while
personality is prerequisite.
These definitions might profitably
be elaborated upon, but the purpose
of this article is to enumerate some of
the coach's problems.
First, a coach must decide to play the kind of game that his material can play. A heavy sluggish team cannot play dashing, spectacular, tricky football and conversely, a light, shifty, brainy team ought not to play the plunging straightaway brute force game. They are simply unfit for such a task. Football calls for strength brain, speed and technique. This combination of qualities, other things being equal should produce a winner.
Now, a coach finds that he has certain "stars" to mould into a machine. He has to experiment with various combinations of players before deciding upon his first string. At times, it is necessary to get rid of certain "good men" for the good of the team and to bench certain others for the same reason. Sometimes a man is a good player individually, but he simply cannot fit in and, if used, team play is sacrificed. Again, a man may be good at a very essential phase of play, but worse than useless in other phases equally essential, and he too must be a bench warmer.
What happens? Followers of the team don't know the why and wherefores. A big howl is set up. This is unwise, of course, but the coach is a dub right on.
The writer once coached a team that was good in most positions. The quarterback position constituted the biggest problem. One chap had "brains" more than anything else. In another experience a player was not all that could be desired in point of execution, but he was a leader and kept the team's feet on the ground at

times that it would have blown. He got the call over another chap who lacked the desirable quality, but who excelled otherwise. In still another instance, a fellow was a good player when he felt like playing, but his temperament was rotten. Did he get the assignment often? No. One might go and on with this line of thought. Space will not permit. The important thing is, that followers of the team pull a rabbit foot and get the coach in whom they have confidence. Leave the development of the team to him and accept what he turns out. It may take two years or five years to build a winner, but if the coach is capable and the material receptive, a winner will come. Don't nag. Be patient.

Coach Smith Sees Strong Team in Making
(By Thomas W. Young)
Hampton, Va., Oct. 8—The Hampton Institute football team will pack away their mud-smeared togs, reminiscent of an extra week of gridiron grind made possible by Livingstone's cancellation of their scheduled game with the Seasiders on October 3, and set sail for the Deacon's camp next Saturday to open its season after almost three weeks of preliminaries during which Coach Smith has given his charges the eagle-eye. He believes that he has selected a worthy Hampton machine.
"The team is not up to the standard I should like to see it at this stage of the season," said Coach Smith after Saturday's scrimmage, "but I believe the sound possesses the making of a genuine winning team."
Hampton will in all probability have one of the strongest teams in the C. I. A. A. this year. The Seasiders have been carefully drilled in all departments of play. But Hampton's foe will be as formidable this year as the Seasiders found her last season. Nearly all the old players are back and the coaches expect to build a strong team with Captain Melvin Whedbee, All-C.I.A.A. pick for quarterback, as his nucleus. With such a variety of material as the Deacons report at camp, Seminary should make a fair bid to keep the bacon at home. However, Hampton will spare no pains in preparation for her season's debut, and will make every effort to get a victory in her first game.
Charlie Drew Stars
Charlie Drew, former Dunbar High student, was the outstanding Amherst player in the game against Princeton last Saturday. Drew, playing left half back for the Amherst eleven, picked holes in the Princeton line repeatedly. He made a 40-yard run through the Princeton line before Slagle, Princeton left halfback, could stop him. He also made a perfect throw in completing a 25-yard forward pass. Amherst, however, was beaten by a score of 20 to 0.

NEW YORK ITEMS
By "Billy" Pierce
The sailing of Lottie Gee on October 3rd, aboard the Steamship Majestic for England and Germany, marked the departure of another of our growing group of internationally famous stars, who are playing back and forth across the ocean as if they were merely making trips back and forth to Harlem on the subway. Miss Gee will be featured while abroad, in the "Chocolate Kiddies" now playing in Hamburg, Germany. Twelve hours before sailing time, she was invited to sing for two radio broadcasting stations, WHN and WGCP. She responded with several of the numbers that she sang while the star of "Shuffle Along" and "Chocolate Dandies." It meant the re-arranging of the entire program. An interesting "pier party" was tendered Miss Gee by Mrs. Nora Johnson, of 204 West 121st St., Mrs. Aurelia Brown of Cincinnati, Ohio, sister of Miss Gee's; John P. Hodges, Arthur Granville, and several members of the profession, were among its members to join in bidding her bon voyage.
Connies Inn
The new show at Connies Inn which has been creating a stir, owing to the fact that some new and radical ideas had been installed, has caught on well. Louis Douglas staged the dance numbers under the personal direction of Geo. Immerman. Mr. Douglas having lived abroad since he was six years old, and all that time directly connected with the stage as a ballet master was in a position to give us something new from across the pond; and he did. His leaning seems to be more to high kicks, splits and back bends. Mary Straine, a New York favorite, sings, looks and dresses well. Adah Ward with the beautiful voice has learned how to dance. Frankie Maberly is a capable comediene, so is her working mate, Dewey Brown. James Steele takes care of the balance of the comedy. The old favorite Eddie Rector, dances as of old. Roscoe Simmons is being featured as a lead-off dancer, followed by Steele and Rector.
The chorus is as snappy as the average Connie bunch. The one big feature is the band, said by many to be the best in New York. Of course, that is saying "a mouthful." Leroy Smith is the leader, playing violin; Peters, bass violin and the tuba; Emerson Harper, oboe, saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet; Frank Belt, trumpet; Clifton "Pike" Davis, trumpet; Bob Lewis, trombone; Samuel Speece, banjo; Stanley Peters, saxophone, clarinet and bassoon; Harold "Bruno" Henson, saxophone, baritone saxophone, C. melody saxophone, clarinet and 'cello; Ed. Beeler, traps. This is the organization used exclusively by Sophie Tucker when in the city. They have refused many offers to travel. The show as a whole is good.

The Cotton Club
The Cotton Club show headed by Johnnie Hudgins is an excellent one. As might be expected Johnnie is the whole show as they are ar billing him like a circus. There is some suppressed talent in the show, for instance, Maud Russell. What a "wow" of a dancer Maude is to be singing numbers.
Brown and McGrawa sell their dance. Mildred Hudgins, does well with her numbers. An act of exceptional merit added to the show is the Four Kings of Harmony. They go over big. Blanche Thompson sings well. Felix Wiggins a new comer from Chicago dances well. I mention him as dancing, for many dancers are given to faking, and "vamping" an orchestra to death. As soon as the public gets wise to them they usually ease out of town. The Cotton Club Orchestra has an honestly earned reputation. The personel is Andrew Preer, Director and Leader, violin; R. S. Dickerson, trumpet; Walter Thomas, E flat sax.; David Jones, clarinet, Andrew Brown, tenor sax.; E. Prince, piano; James Smith, tuba; DePriest Wheeler, trombone; Leroy Maxie, drums, Charlie Stamps, banjo. It's an excellent organization. I might add that al lthe members are incorporated into the organization with each a stock holder. It makes for clean living and generally excellent deportment on and off the job. St. Louis. Mo. from whence they hail should be proud of them for they certainly can "hit it."
The chorus is the prettiest in all New York, bar none. And they work with an untiring effort to please. A number of the girls recently left the Club Alabama. I might add that there have been ugly rumors of discontent among the girls at the above named Club. It would do well for the management to look into conditions and see what is wrong. Wherever there is so much smoke there must be some fire. It's a ticklish subject, but the gang knows just what I mean. A house cleaning is in order.

Slim Thompson, who recently replaced Billy Brown in the act of Winfred and Brown is knocking them for a curve. Henry Winfred says that he is greatly pleased with him. Slim is of the younger school of comedians. A gentleman on and off as well as an artist. Winfred was lucky to get him. Illness obliged Mr. Brown to retire.
Chick Johnson is with an Ofay act on the Keith time and going good. Keiths Royal this week, and not the half. Leonard Harper is in need of acts of exceptional merit for his new Plantation Show. Get in touch with him through this office.
Johnnie Hudgins has inaugurated a novel stunt in giving away his autographed photos at each performance. Being somewhat of a matinee idol among the flappers, how they do scramble for them. Of course that please John.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1925
Arthur Bryson and Strappy Jones are still being featured at the Plantation Cafe in their dancing act.
Maggie Jones the Columbia Record star is to leave soon for a ten weeks flor over the bigger houses of the T. O. B. A. time. She will be assisted at the Piano by Ruth Penn. Miss Penn has been pianist and organist at the Orpheum Theatre in Newark, New Jersey.
"Bo! Jangles" Bill Robinson seems to be getting all the choice booking on the Keith time. If it isn't the Palce its the Hip.
Well, so it goes with true merit. He is rated as a dancing artist, while most of the others are rated as merely "Hoofers." Nuf Sed.
Alberta Pryme is still being featured at the Owl Supper Club. She will soon have her own Revue at a new Supper Club at Sixtieth and Broadway. Only a short time ago Alberta was a chorus girl at Connies Inn. It merely proves what hard work will do with the breaks in your favor. She is one of the many developed by that great little producer Leonard Harper.
Of all the girls whom I have been instrumental in sending abroad with Revues from time to time; Theresa West holds the Palm for having not forgotten her manager. Just as soon as the old ship Paris docked she hurried right up to the Studio to present me with a beautiful Cigar Holder all the way from Constantinople, Turkey. It isn't so much the value of things that count some times as the thought that you haven't been forgotten. I can forgive the others.

For the benefit of those married or the persons intending to get married; to every discontented wife or to husbands who may see their wives slipping away from them, see "Kiss Me Again" and all your troubles will end.

15 and 16, "Waking Up The Town" with Norma Shearer and Jack Pickford will be shown. It is a vivid picture of the struggle for opportunity of every ambitious boy vividly dramatized—picturing the humors of misfortune, the tragedies of luck and the mysteries of love.
"A Woman of Paris," written and directed by Charlie Chaplin will be shown by request on Saturday, October 17th. On the stage, appearing at 7:15 and 9:15, will be presented for the first time Dick Hall's new band, the Night Hawk Serenaders. They will be assisted by talent.
Union Holds First Scrimmage
Richmond, Va., Oct. 8—Capt. Houston, Virginia Union tackle, joined the squad Tuesday of last week. "Bish" Merritt reported last Monday.
The Panther eleven held its first scrimmage last Saturday. Tidley, a newcomer from Tidewater, Tobin, Ruffin, Gardner, W. A. Smith and Boffman showed up well. Shields looked good in his new role at quarter, and Washington punted well.
Barksdale is now assisting Coach T. W. Harvey with the linemen.
KNOXVILLE IN SHAPE FOR
ATLANTA GAME.
Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 8—The Knoxville College football squad is being whipped into shape for the opening game with Atlanta University on October 10. Having fourteen letter men back and a wealth of new material to work with, the coach is optimistic. Cromwell, an all-southern guard for two years, is again in the field. Husky Bryant, the captain and center, is playing his last season and will bid fair to make it his best. Fowlkes in the backfield is getting his stride in kicking, plunging and passing. The schedule is the hardest one for several seasons.
"Melodyland"the NewMusical Show Opens at Avenue
Has Large Cast and Some Real Features
"Melodyland," the new race musical comedy which has been rehearsing in Chicago for the past several months, opened Sunday, October 4, at the Avenue Theater, Chicago. Will H. Hendrickson, well-known humorist of the Chicago Daily News, has contributed the book and lyrics, and DeKoven Thompson, the writer of ballads, has succeeded in stretching himself successfully in writing the music which will have a place in the popular tunes of the times. If music and clean, up-to-the-minute comedy will put a show over, this production has jumped to success.
The company has been well selected and the leading features are artists in their respective lines. Josephine Hall, who will be the feature soloist, has an abundance of talent which has been brought out in her new role.
Marion Harrison, danseuse and interpreter of melodies, has also been cast to do some feature work. This girl is a product of Chicago and there is no doubt that her work will be received warmly. Billy Walker landed ready for his role and sent it over the first time. He is assisted by a partner, who holds the comedy high throughout the production. Eloise Bennett, formerly featured with the Rosamond Johnson Keith act, is another artist in the lights. Her songs are peppery and well adapted to her type. Miss Bennett is a comedienne of no little ability. Walter Richardson, one of the leading professional singers, has been contracted for the production. Edgar Martin, a boy with a wonderful tenor voice, is another of the feature artists.
One of the smoothest and fastest choruses has been developed in the rehearsing of the show. They work a number for every inch of its value and they form a most beautiful background for the entire production.
The costumes for this show have been designed and made by Burford, while the scenery has been designed by the Pheltz and Carson studios. Everything has been done by Glen Westlake to stage this production in a manner to bring out value.

Maggie Jones, a Columbia record company artist, has signed contracts with Milton B. Starr for a tour of the T. O. B. A. time under his direction. She is a blues singer whose personal appearances are expected to be as successful as have been the sales of records she has made, according to W. R. Arnold, publicity director of the circuit.
Sammy Graham of Graham and Snow has been hitting the ball in the interests of the Official paper of the C. A. U. He has actually sent in advertising from the boarding houses at which he stops. He simply proves to them that they should expect to support the publication of the group from which their business is derived; and that just ONE additional guest each week, more than pays for a month's advertising cost.
Kennard Williams is a regular shop writer of the sort who co operates with others in the interests of the whole profession. His columns in the Afro-American show real knowledge of the show business and its people and he is not afraid to divide a bit of news with the other boys. Benny Butler of the Tattler is another unspoiled one.
Secretary Dr. John Love of the Raleigh, N.C. Negro State Fair announces that the photograph concessions at this year's fair, October 19-21 will be granted exclusively to Negro photographers. He also desires to get in touch with the management of the "Silas Green" show and the "Rabbit's Foot" Minstrel or other equally good attractions for the date.
Orange, S.C., is to have a Negro Fair this year, though the date has not yet been selected. State University, Claflin College, the Farmers and local women are joining in an effort to make the new Fair a big one from the start. More about this when details and a date have been set.
The Dykeman and Joyce carnival advertises that among the auspices under which they are playing some early dates are the Colored Masons of Jacksonville, and the Knights of Pythians of Miami, both in Florida. Time was when big attractions would not consider Negro organizations. We are glad to note the changed condition, but deplore that Negro companies do not get these excellent and profitable engagements. Where were you, Dan Michaels when these promotions were first made public?
Ethel Waters has just recorded a new number "Go back where you stayed last night" by Sid. Easton, on the Columbia records. It is said to be a great number. Earl Dancer directed recording details.
The Comedy Club in New York failed in an effort to obtain a restraint order against the police department to prevent their making a raid on the club without warrant.

W. R. Arnold, publicity director of the T. G. B. A. has arranged to have the Tribune placed on sale at the Peoples Drug Store in Nashville for the convenience of the Profession playing the Bijou Theatre.
H. D. Collins, formerly of the Putnam Building, New York, has been obliged to move his office to 1747 Broadway as the old landmark is being razed to be replaced by a film theatre. His new 'phone number is Circle 0987, and he will be glad to hear from all acts contemplating going to New York and vicinity.
Alonzo Jackson, director of the Garrick Dramatic School of Philadelphia, and F. Grant Gilmore the publicist presented Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde at a smoker of the Citizens Republican club recently with remarkable pleasure to the members. They are both artists of the first class.

"Chocolate Dandies" Pack the Lafayette
Record attendance Drawn To Seventh Avenue House By Thrilling Horse. Race Scene Of Production
Race Scene Of Production
Lew Payton with an able staff of assistants, re-staged at the Lafayette Theatre, the popular Brodway musical comedy production, "The Chocolate Dandies" that had a very successful run at the Colonial Theatre, 63rd Street at Broadway about this time last year.
True, the old stars were missing and the work of the dancing girls and boys of the chorus was ragged and uncertain, yet there was a world of entertainment in the re-staged production. The one big feature of the play was that thrilling horse racing scene that was so realistic as to draw the packed house to its feet as the horses came racing down the stretch in a neck and neck finish.
That was the big thriller and some thriller it was and will be during the Chocolate Dandies short stay at the old Seventh Avenue playhouse.
Despite the absence of such stars as Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, Johnny Hudgins, Lottie Lee, Valada Snow, Josephine Baker, and others, the cast was a very creditable one that worked with vim and pep. It was not to be expected that the presentation here was to measure up to the Broadway standard with a $3.30 top. that was out o the question. But just the same, Harlem seemed delighted with the able substitution of entertainers of lesser prominence.
Sweet, loveable Miss Hattie King Revis sang her way into the heart of her audience at each and every performance. Miss King has always been favorite with upper Harlem's theatre public. So, when she was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers last Monday evening, the house approved the presentation with hearty applause.
Then, Lew Payton uncovered and presented a promising little soubrette in Miss Kathryn Perry, who has earned a niche in the hall of fame. This vivaciously clever girl was formerly a member of the original production that played the Colonial. Her tenure of professional life to date is less than a year, but what rapid strides this baby slip of a lass has made in that brief period of time. She actually leaped out of the chorus, to become a star over night.
Nor can we overlook the splendid work of Andrew Copeland and the courageous effort of "Onion" Jefferey. Unfortunately, the program of the Lafayette Theatre, failed in giving critics, an opportunity to do full credit to the other performers in the cast of production.
About Burlesque
It would seem that the trade paper writers on Burlesque have joined the K. K. K. from the manner in which some of them have been trying to saddle the responsibility for Richmond and Norfolk theaters retirement from the Columbia Circuit upon the colored attractions that have been taking top money everywhere. Such is not the case. The Wells houses have long been operated as non-union theaters, and the Columbia Circuit plays only union musicians and stage crews. Therefore when these shows were booked into those houses, a road call was put out, and musicians WHITE and BLACK were obliged to recognize it.
The first show to feel the situation was Harry Steppe's company, then a a Schubert Musical Comedy, "No, No, Nanette," and after that the "Seven-Eleven" company. None of these accepted the dates and the cancellation had nothing to do with race matters. While it is candidly admitted that perhaps Richmond would not relish the mixed shows, yet competent press agentry, something the Columbia Circuit lacks, would have so explained even these to Virginia people so that they could be acceptable, for above all your southern folks like the Negro style of entertainment. It is decidedly unfair to Negro performers and to business men who have invested in these attractions to add to their burdens by charging to them troubles in which they have only the common interest of all road shows.
Once upon a time, the writer was able to influence one burlesque writer to a broader view, and a more fair one, but it seems that he has lately taken the line of least resistance to the menace to democracy that has been holding secret meetings in New York and Long Island.
sented a bill of unusual merit. McGinty and Jackson a new combination with a woman comic, the Radcliffe Trio, Mildred Smallwood and Harry Watkins, the Eleanor Williams Co., and the Seegar Brothers twelve year old boxers and physical exponents made up the card.
The Washington Tribune
The Deacons
The Grandmaster of New York, Joseph Sullivan, escorted by Grand Commander Fred Langston with 300 Knight Templars and a large Blue House group of Masons marched from the Masonic Temple to Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, New York City, where they laid a corner-stone in the structure that the congregation had acquired from a Swedish denomination some time since. The work was done last Sunday. Rev. A. C. Garner, the pastor could not be satisfied until proper Masonic auspices had been established. That is why he is Chaplain of the Deacons. The participating officers were both wearers of the battered hat, too, the G. M. being chairman of the supervising board of grandmasters.
A number of Deacons are among those who have great prospects of being elevated at the next session of the Supreme Council. Assistant national secretary, W. C. Kilpatrick of Georgia, a resident of New York; Al Wells, National vice president; Sammy Graham, a traveling senior Deacon; Henri Bowman and National Director Jules McGarr, president of the Colored Actors Union, have all been recommended by the deputies of their respective states for the honor implied in the 33rd degree. How is that for recognition of show folks?
Senior Deacon S. R. Ball, of Rochester, N. Y., who wants to let the world know that he lives at 120 Copeland Street, has been entertaining Deacons with burlesque shows lately. Circuit Rider Al. Watts, stage manager of the "Lucky Sambo" show having been the most important recent guest. Ball is chairman of a committee of his lodge, St. Marks, 36 that will give a harvest fair October 20-31. Travellers better look into Rochester, if you want some fun.
Ayres Honored
Central Vice-President W. C. T. Ayres, of Columbus, Ohio, has been elected president of a newly organized soldiers' association, that is state-wide, and may become a national project of great consequence. Maj. H. C. Gilbert, Captain L. H. Goodman, Attorney R. E. Hughes, Attorney R. E. Moore, Attorney H. H. Gillard, and A. W. Hardy (Senior), are other Deacons who are actively connected with the movement. Maybe the Deacons don't count in the Ohio capital.
Brother Joe Jordon and Deacon Tim Moore with their company were guests of the Columbus Corner while the "Rarin' To Go" show was in the city.
Deacon Pickett of New Haven writes to tell the boys the twenty-five corner is ready for the season's bunch of visitors. So let Pickett know when you are headed to New England.

"Seven - Eleven" Astounds Downtown Burlesque Patrons
"Seven Eleven" the Howard and Brown-Cook and Smith attraction that the Goldberg Brothers are piloting over the Columbia Circuit for the second season is playing in a downtown Theatre this week. Thousands were turned away from front and side doors, and those who witnessed the show from either floor of the house came away vowing to again see the fastest show that has been brought into this town. By the time this gets into print the house records will have been smashed to smithereens, if Monday night's business and the circuit record of the show counts as harbingers.
No use to try picking what hit them, from the lanky chorister with the novel gyrations to Mae Brown the pretty leading lady, every feature "Hit" with a large portion of the audience. The attraction is full of "show stoppers." Eddie Gray, a tenor is one of them, and "Speedy" Smith, the principal comedian who is so decidedly individual in style is another. Garland Howard, as "Hotstuff," can, and does stop things with his clever "Straight" work supplementing this with numberless changes of wearing apparel every suit of which is of imported material. Many suppose "Beau Brummel" can find reason for envying or emulating this fellow in the matters of possessing and knowing how to wear clothes with the correct air. Stanley Bennett's jazz band was a positive sensation and took many encores.
A local dance club tendered these musical marvel a proposition and3 musical marvel a proposed presentation at Murray's Palace Casino on Thursday night. Many of the show members were guests.
These four stars have done more than create a show, they have sold respect for Negro business to the country except those benighted house managers who have not learned the cost of prejudice in terms of dollars and cents or having learned are too steeped in their petty prejudice to appreciate the broad lessons in Democracy and the humanities that this combination of Negro talent and Hebrew business perspicacity is presenting.
It is hoped that the time is not far distant whent such attractions as "Seven Eleven" will have so broken down the bars of prejudice that the performances will be had in houses where self-respecting people of our group may sit where they please and "view" them rather than stand on the outside and "review" them.

Irving Miller Again
A LAW SUIT, A LATE SHOW, BUT
A CORKING GOOD ONE WITH
MUCH RICHNESS.
Irving Miller again demonstrated that he is master showman with the present week's engagement at the Howard Theatre. Whatever may be said of him, one can't deny that he knows his line of business. That much must be conceded.
A law suit with the Schubert interests that kept the management of the Howard Theatre in an Equity Court, District of Columbia Fire regulation that an untrained stage crew tried almost ineffectually to meet combined to make a late curtain so that it was ten o'clock before the show was presented. The audience was not therefore the most kindly disposed one in the world, but it stuck; and for sticking, they saw a wonderful show of the Revue type.
It was "Rich" in spots, and at times Washington folks held their breath a bit, and hesitated to register an opinion, for some of the bits were more daring than they have ever witnessed at home, albeit most of them had found pleasure in seeing the same style of spectacles on their visits to more cosmopolitan cities. Each sort of waited to catch the cue from the others before giving expression to an opinion. Billy Mills provided some unctious comedy and another comic helped a lot. There was a blues singer who could sell that sort of a song. There was a clever engeneer that was winsome, a tenor singer who could croon a song and there was a knockout dancer in the cast.
These were supported by the most careful selected group of christers we have seen on any Colored show. No oddities of form and figure marred the bevy of the limbed young girls; and those girls could really sing. There was no sacrificing talent to looks. Miller dressed those girls too, for the costumes, while not over much as to quantity, were certainly artistic, were new and were well varied each number presenting a new suprise. The scenic settings, too were good altho incompetent handling of light effects and obviously slow setting of the stage for the big number slowed up the work of the show. This will be remedied as local stage hands become more familiar with the show equipment. In this connection, the performers gave an unheralded exhibition of loyalty by actually helping the crew to set the stage so as to reduce the delay in the opening. That's a worth while something in any organization.
The cast includes Billy Mills, Cecil Rivers, Flo Brown, Billy Young, Eva Metcalf, Hayes Pryor, George Crawford, Ruth Johnson, Carrie Huff, Walter Duke, together with the aforementioned chorus of twelve nimble girls.
Irving Mayer staged two numbers and Donald Haywood provided the music, some of which is going to be hummed by the public as it gets better known.
A factor in the delay and one that brought some white patrons to the house either out of curiosity, or in their official capacity was a suit that the Schuberts, owners of "Artists and Models" due at Poll's Theatre next week, brought against Irving Miller, the Howard Theatre, the N. Y. Amusement Co., and George Fletcher, as codefendants in an effort to restrain them against the use of the billed title "Brown Skin Artists and Models."
The case was tried before Chief Justice Walter McCoy in the Equity Court who consulted the full bench before granting a temporary injunction pending final decision Friday, October 9. The complainants being obliged meanwhile to post a $5,000 bond. The importance of the case is indicated by the consultation with the full bench. The decision was not made known until after 3 p.m. Monday. George Hayes represented the defendants.
"LUCKY SAMBO"
"The Lucky Sambo" show, a colored unit on the Columbia Circuit, has undergone a number of changes since the show started on its tour of the circuit late in August. This week the company is in New York towns on the split week dates.
Gertrude Saunders has tendered her resignation and the band has been reduced from nine pieces to four. Jim Vaughn is the orchestra leader and the leader and the show musicians are doubling with the local orchestra in pit work playing the show.
Julia Moody is the featured blues singer now. Ernest Whitman, Billy Higgins, Byrd and Ewing, Arthur Porter, and Al, Watts are the principals with the show. It should reach Washington about nine weeks hence. They are in Boston week of October 19th.
Lillian Williams and Linda Nicholson, two members of the show were reported on the sick list at Rochester. It is stated that a thousand dollars has been taken off the weekly payroll by the changes that have been made in the line-up.
