DINING CAR UNION OFFICIAL WINS WAGE ADJUSTMENT ASSAILS SEGREGATION RIENZI B. LEMUS REPRESENTS BROTHERHOOD BEFORE SOUTH- FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION DINING C ASSA CONGREGATIONAL BODY SEEKS FAIR PLAY FORALL The National Council of Congregational Churches, in session here at the Washington Auditorium, adopted a social creed last Saturday which calls for the elimination of all racial discrimination, by a sweeping majority. The two clauses with reference to racial discrimination in the "statement of social ideals" attempting to represent "a pattern for a Christian social order," are as follows: "The elimination of all racial discrimination and the substitution of full brotherly treatment for all races in America. "The removal of every unjust barrier of trade, color, creed and race, and the practice of equal justice for all nations." Prior to the adoption of these resolutions, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur delivered an address. In the opening session of the council Tuesday, October 20, Dr. William L. Cash, of New Orleans, La., was elected a second assistant moderator in the most spirited contest of the day. He received 322 votes. His opponent, Mrs. E. H. Osbornson, of Oak Park, Ill., received 129 votes. About a dozen delegates spoke in behalf of the two candidates. Some of them favored a continuation of the custom of electing a member of the colored branch of the Congregational Church, while many of the others thought that it was time that this office should go to a woman. Dr Henry H. Proctor, of Brooklyn, N.Y., made an eloquent and impassioned address in nominating Dr. Cash. "For the first time in history," he said, "the national council is meeting on southern soil. We are making history. Twelve million of my countrymen are watching you today to see if you will stand pat. "Today as I walked along Pennsylvania Avenue and looked at the White House a thrill shot through my heart and tears streamed down my cheeks. There is the place, thought I, where Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln not only made my race, but my race made Lincoln." Dr. Proctor then placed in nomina-Continued on page 2 Mme. Evanti Heard by Large Crowd in Fine Program Mme. Lillian Evanti, (Mrs. Lillian Tibbs) had the seal of local approval placed upon her by a capacity audience at the Lincoln Theatre on Friday night when the house was crowded with bouquet-bearing friends for what is announced as her farewell appearance in America. Whether it was a spirit of loyalty on the part of friends, or some highly effective publicity on the part of her local management that filled the house, the outstanding fact is that the auditors went away pleased with the program offered. One critic declares her to be a remarkable artist. The program carried five groups of sixteen numbers. "Care Selve" (Handel) was sung in its original Italian as was "Papillon Inconstant" a French number. Both of these were rendered, not only in excellent voice, but with perfect pronunciation and correct accent. Blanche Dourga (Prayer to Brahma) and LaClochette (The Bell Song) from the miniature opera "Lakme" in which Miss Evanti appeared in Nice were rendered with an air of assured familiarity. The foregoing were all in the latter group. In the first group were numbers by Handel, Scarletti, Rameau and Bellini. Negro spirituls of the Harry T. Burleigh arrangement, three in number were the second series. The third group was compositoids by Kenneth Russell, Chadwick, Thayer and Hageman. These were all English numbers. Then came the bits from the French opera. Though the audition did not take place until after the film show had been completed and the big theatre was not available until 10 p.m., the ardor of the people was not one whit lessened. The affair has set a high mark for concert promotion in this part of the city. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. The PUBLISHED WEEKLY CAR UNION AILS S RESIDENTIAL COOLIDGE CITIZENS RALLY TO WAGE FIGHT FOR RIGHTS The Washington Tribune RESIDENTIAL RESTRICTION ATTACKED. COOLIDGE MAKES FIRST APPOINTMENT. Residential segregation was assailed at a mass meeting at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of which Neal H. Thomas is president. The sum of $705.49 was raised toward defraying the expenses of a nation-wide fight against this evil. The audience was told that the sum of $5,000 had to be raised within the week to be used in defending Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, a dentist, and nine other persons charged with first degree murder in connection with the killing of a member of a mob in Detroit, Mich., September 8th last. A total of $25,000 is sought by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to be used to employ big white lawyers, in other cases which are pending in the courts. In introducing Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Mr. Thomas designates segregation as the greatest issue before the American people to-day. Mr. White told the story of the attack upon the home of Dr. Sweet resulting in one death of a member of the mob and the wounding of on other. Fifteen years ago, Mr. White detroit. Detroit had only 8,000 colored inhabitants, while to-day there are 81,000. The lack of housing facilities, he said, resulted in a penetration into so-called white neighborhoods and simultaneously with the growth of the Ku Klux Klan, the situation became acute and attempts were made to enforce residential segregation by clauses in deeds to property. Dr. Sweet, he said, purchased-a home in an ordinary white neighborhood. On September 8 last, he moved in, Mr. White stated, and on the next evening a mob gathered and began bombarding the house with stones and brickbats. While this bombardment was in progress, Dr. E. E. Sweet, the brother of the owner of the home, and William E. Davis, a federal narcotic agent, arrived and when the mob saw that they were colored, they attacked them, said Mr. White, and in the excitement shots were fired, one member of the mob falling dead and another wounded. Police, who had been standing across the street watching the actions of the mob, immediately became active, Mr. White declared, and arrested the occupants of the house, including the wife of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, who is the mother of a 14 months old baby, and they were later indicted charged with first degree murder. Mrs. Sweet was later released. These ten defendants will go on trial in Detroit, Friday, October 30, Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer, will be the chief defense counsel, Samuel A. Browne, of Staten Island, N.Y. who was threatened with violence unless he sold his home in a so-called white neighborhood, told of his experiences, which resulted in the indictment of six persons on a conspiracy charge. The status of the Curtis case, which will come up for argument next month before the Supreme Court of the United States, was given by Attorney James A. Cobb. This is the suit in which the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the Court of Appeals upheld an agreement between a number of persons not to sell their property to colored persons. According to Mr. White, in 19 cities residential segregation is an issue. Negro Labor Congress in Session (From Chicago Negro Champion) The Negro Labor Congress promoted by Lovett-Fort Whitman, the communist, opened October 25. The Vincennes hotel seems to be the accepted domicile of the group with offices at 3456 Indiana Avenue, and the sessions of the convention held in Pythian Hall at 207 East 35th Street WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1925 MRS. RUTH OSBORNE SEEKS DIVORCE; SAYS MOTHER-IN LAW CAUSED UNHAPPINESS Since her mother-in-law moved into their home, her life with her husband has been "one of strife and unhappiness," according to Mrs. Ruth A. Osborne, 1902 Tenth street, northwest, who this week sued her husband, Jerome B. Osborne, 766 Fairmont street, northwest who she says is a clerk in the War Risk Insurance Bureau at $120 a month, for a limited divorce and alimony. She alleges desertion and cruelty. Represented by Attorney Raymond Neudecker, Mrs. Osborne claims that her mother-in-law and other relatives of her husband have insisted upon living with her and her husband against her wishes, making her life miserable. The husband, according to his wife, is possessed of a "cruel and inconsiderate manner and of a nagging and ungovernable temper." Mrs. Osborne also charges that her mother-in-law has an ungovernable and violent temper. When in the hospital, where she was operated on, the wife says, the only message she received from her husband was to the effect that if she returned home he would "kick her from the top of the steps to the bottom." Since leaving the hospital Mrs. Osborne says, she has not seen their child, and her husband refused to send her any clothing, her engagement and wedding ring, and will not give her access to the house to get her belongings. The couple were married in this city, June 25, 1920 and have one child whose custody is requested by the mother. Mrs. Osborne asks the court to prevent her husband from interfering with her. She says she is temporarily employed in the Navy Department at $110. She is represented by Attorneys Bertrand Emerson, jr., and Raymond Neudecker. Cleveland Business Man Visits City Among the many prominent visitors drawn to Washington during the past week by the Conference of the Congregational Church was H. S. Chauceuny, president of the Pioneer Publishing Co. and the Secretary of the Empire Savings and Loan Co. The former is the corporation that owns the Cleveland Call, a weekly publication whose plant is the most complete printing establishment in the Lakeside City. The latter is, of course, a bank. Mrs. Chauceuny accompanied her husband. Another member of the party was Norman McGee, a Cleveland attorney who also the managing editor of the paper. He was once connected with the Howard University business staff. Injured in Fire and Explosion An explosion of undetermined origin, followed by a fire in the photographic laboratory of the Bureau of soils, in the east wing of the Department of Agriculture, early today resulted in injury to a colored laborer and $2,5000 property damage. Charles Jones, 54 years old, heard the explosion, fellow workmen said, and rushed to the laboratory. As he entered the room a blast of flame met him, burning him about the face and hands. A fire alarm brought local apparatus, which promptly extinguished the blaze, confining it to the room in which it originated. Jones, who lives at 1732 Eighth Street, was taken to Emergency Hospital in the fourth precinct patrol and was announced not to be in a serious condition by Dr. Preston, who treated him. COAL COMPANY IMPORTS NEGRO MINERS (Preston News Service) Canonsburg, Pa., Oct. 23—With the arrival here Thursday of 15 miners, mostly Negroes, who expect to work in the Midland No. 1 mine of the Pittsburg Coal Co., when it is reopened shortly, deputies were stationed at the mine and near company houses. Altogether 145 miners have arrived here from the south, expecting to work in the mine, which is located two miles east of Canonsburg. TWO SUSPENDED FROM TUSKEGEE VETS HOSPITAL The Veterans Bureau last Saturday confirmed reports that W. L. Jones, chief engineer, and J. M. Dugas, registrar, at the United States hospital-puad popsuladus ueəq aəq "nyy oəq oəq oəq uəq suəəq oəq paqusq 16 ONing an investigation into certain charges against them. General Frank T. Hines, the director would not make public the nature of the charges. His office stated that if the charges should be substantiated, action would be taken against them; but if the investigation resulted in their exoneration they would be restored to duty. It is understood, however, that the charges against Jones are to the effect that he plotted to defraud the Government. It is reported that he was the leader in a conspiracy which had for its purpose the overthrow of the present hospital administration. According to information received here it was planned to destroy hospital supplies and induce another investigation of the management of the hospital with a view to the dismissal of Major Joseph H. Ward, the commanding officer; Walter S. Burke, the business executive, and P. H. Rooney, property custodian. Major Ward was to be supplanted by Dr. J. D. Nelson, who is in charge of the tubercular section at the Tuskegee hospital. Mr. Burke was to be supplanted by J. I. Mitchell, of Washington, a former employee, and Mr. Rooney by Archie Yates, who was in charge of the farm but whose services were discontinued October 1 last. Mr. Dugas as the registrar handled money belonging to patients. The Veterans Bureau is said to be looking into charges that he charged patients ten cents for each check cashed by them. He is said to have deposited their funds in a local bank in Tuskegee and to have approached the bank president requesting that interest on these deposits be placed to the credit of his personal account. With the displacement of the old administration and the installation of themselves as administrative officers, it is asserted that they planned to go into the money lending business using the funds belonging to patients which were handled by Mr. Dugas. The unearthing of this conspiracy is credited by Melvin J. Chisum, who visited Tuskegee recently. He and Mr. Jones knew each other years ago in Oklahoma. In fact, Mr. Jones claimed to have befriended Mr. Chisum while they both lived in Oklahoma. While Mr. Chisum was at Tuskegee on another mission, Mr. Jones is said to have been under the impression that Mr. Chisum was there to help them carry out his plans. He is said to have confided in Mr. Chisum fully. After Mr. Chisum left, he wrote back from Atlanta, Ga., requesting Mr. continued on page 2. W. C. MATTHEWS MADE SPECIAL U. S. ATTORNEY William C. Matthews, of Boston, Mass., was appointed a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States last Saturday. He left immediately for Lincoln, Neb., in connection with a Government case. Mr. Matthews is a Harvard university graduate. He has been engaged in the practice of law in Boston. He is active in Republican politics and managed the campaign of President Coolidge among colored voters in the last election. CONFERENCE OF Y.M.C.A.WORKERS COMES TO CLOSE The twenty-first national conference on colored work of the Young Men's Christian Associations was held here last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The theme was "Occupy the Unoccupied Fields." The opening session was held Wednesday morning at the Twelfth street branch Y. M. C. A. A survey made of the 'field for work for darker races of the world and problems of the association were discussed. At the public meeting Wednesday night at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Kelly Miller, Howard University dean, spoke. Dr. J. R. E. Moorland and Channing H. Tobias, of New York, international secretaries, talked on efficient secretaries as the key to association problems. The Rev. M. A. Ashbie Jones, pastor of the Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., and chairman of the interracial relationship committee, addressed the meeting on religion "as a means, not an end." The Thursday session was devoted to a discussion of personnel for administrative positions with special emphasis on the African field. Thursday night the speakers were Governor John H. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster general. Mrs. Mary McLeed Bethune, founder of the Daytona-Cookman Institute and president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; and Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. The Howard University glee club under the direction of Roy W. Tibbs rendered several selections. Exerpts From Lecture The subject of Governor Barlett's address was "Society's Spiritual Capital." He spoke in part as follows: "I wish you men, representatives of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. of America, to appreciate and understand that in addressing you, I am not thinking of you as colored men, for this sentiment which I am attempting to express is universal. It is derived from that great source of all truth where no color line was ever known to exist." "I want you to more fully sense the spirit of these higher values and to such an extent that you will forget color, and that you will so act that you will cause all honest Christian white men also to forget it. Although it is well for every man to work in social and religious lines in those places where his work can be most effectual, and although you as a Y. M. C. A. of colored men may perhaps best work among your people, yet it must always be known and always emphasized that spiritual values must be, and always will be, as common to all, as impartial for all, as the very air we breathe." "All of us desire you men to know that we appreciate your organization; that we fully apprise the good work it is doing. We want to help you in every way possible, to encourage you and cheer you on that upward and onward march to better things. You RIENZI B. LEMUS REPRESENTS BROTHERHOOD BEFORE SOUTH-ERN ROAD REPRESENTATIVES AMERICAN LEGION SHOWS TEETH AT DISCRIMINATION Omaha, Neb., Oct. 14—The American Legion does not uphold segregation. This was evidenced at the convention of the Legion here last week. It is alleged that when the clerk at one of the city's leading white hotels, the Millard declined to register a colored Legionnaire from South Dakota, the post commander insisted that he would be registered and it was done. A similar incident is also said to have occurred at the Carleton Hotel with the North Dakota delegation which had two colored representatives. In each case the Legion stood firm against discrimination and won out. RHINELANDER, SR. DISINHERITS SON New York, Oct. 27—Leonard Kip Rhinelander, presumptive heir to many millions is disinherited by his parents in punishment for marrying Alice Jones, of New Rochelle, last year. His plight was announced by former Supreme Court Judge Isaac N. Milla in White Plains today. At the same time he asserted Mrs. Rhinelander is prepared to admit she is colored. The revelation came during argument before Supreme Court Justice Morschauser on Mrs. Rhinelander's application for additional fees to defend her husband's suit for annulment of marriage, which was granted. Frederick P. Close, her counsel, did not deny the statements. The latest court move indicates that a compromise has been effected based upon the present personal wealth and income of the young man, and the disinheritance doubtlessly will operate to make the settlement much smaller than it otherwise would be. At that a fair portion based upon the quarter million he now possesses will make a tidy sum. NATIONAL ASS'N OF TEACHERS TO WAGE CAMPAIGN Dover, Dela., Oct. 29—(By The Associated Negro Press) R. S. Crossley, president of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, announced today that the association would conduct a nation wide membership campaign during the week of November 8-14. This announcement is in accord with the decision made at the recent annual meeting of the association in Durham, N.C., and during that week efforts will be made to enroll every teacher in colored schools into the National association and in the state and local associations. According to the plan of the campaign the officers of the state and local organizations are being requested to formulate programs especially adapted to their respective sections. must always be assured and reassured that that nation giving you freedom, will see that freedom is preserved; that the country which you have never deserted, will never desert you; that the loyalty which you have meted out and shall mete out to others, will be meted to you again." The speakers at the Friday night meeting were Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary of the general council of the Y. M. C. A. and Bishop W. T. Vernon of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who told of his observations of the work of Max Yergan in Africa. Dr. Channing H. Tobias announced that the Y. M. C. A. would conduct a campaign to raise funds to carry on the work which Mr. Yergan is doing. Through an arrangement effected by Martin B. Powell, a bill clerk in the House of Representatives, a group of the Y. M. C. A. delegates were received by President Calvin Coolidge at the White House Saturday afternoon. Twenty-four of the visitors availed themselves of the opportunity. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS JSTMENT MUS REPRESENTS D BEFORE SOUTH- REPRESENTATIVES In a conference last Wednesday in the offices of the Southern Railway Company a controversy between the Southern Railway System, lines east, and the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees in regard to the interpretation of a contract between them with respect to the rates of pay insofar as they are affected by a construction of the rules was agreeably settled. The Southern Railway Company was represented by its manager of the dining cars of the lines east, W. F. Kusch, while the Brotherhood was represented by its president, Rienzi B. Lemus, and member of the local committee, J. P. Covington, chairman; A. L. Queenan and R. H. Hamilton. The contract between the Southern Railway, lines east, and the Brotherhood provides for a basic 8-hour day. Under the rules, the company contended that a dining car employee was not entitled to pay for overtime unless he had done more than 240 hours service in a month. The Brotherhood contended that in cases where regular runs required less than the maximum number of hours, the employee was entitled to extra pay for all extra work performed. The company through its representative agreed to the latter interpretation of the rules and to pa yoyetime whenever an employee was used on other than his regular run. This construction of the rules will provide definite schedules of work and of lay offs. It was also agreed that there would be no further dismissals of employees without hearings by the superintendent of the lines cast and four employees who were so dismissed will be restored to duty with pay for time lost if, they desire. The men who may be restored under this decision are Herbert Mills, a chef cook; Fred Goodlett, Will Cheeks and William Simpson. They are now employed on the Atlantic Coast Line as a result of the efforts of the Brotherhood. Mr. Kushass assured Mr. Lemus that there would be no more dismissals without hearings and advised him that appeals might be made to him personally and he would give them a hearing at any time either individually or through a committee. On the question of seniority it was agreed that where an older employee requested a certain run it would be given him. All such requests had been previously denied. It was also agreed that there would be no further deduction of time of dining car employees after it had been turned into the office by the steward. The manager ordered this practice discontinued. Mr. Lemus will go to Charlotte, N. C., the headquarters of the lines east, next week to assist the manager in straightening out differences over time. Editor and Doctor Quarrel Editor and Doctor Quarrel (From Louisville News Lindsay T. Garrison, editor of the Forum and Dr. M. A. Blackburn met before the doors of the First Standard Bank where they engaged in a quarrel arising from the doctor's order that his name be kept out of the paper. The doctor drew a wrench from his pocket which the editor misook for a pistol. Two warrants were asked for and the doctor is under bonds pending a decision. The prominence of both parties and the fact that no damage except to pride was done pressages a dismissal when the case is tried. West Virginia Teachers to Meet West Virginia Teachers to Meet (From West Virginia Clarion) The annual meeting of the West Virginia State Teachers Association is scheduled to meet at Clarksburg, November 5-7. Clarence Cameron White will be presented as a special feature. Prof. E. P. Westmoreland of Armstrong Manual Training High School, Washington, Prof. F. O. Nichols of New York, Prof. Gordon Hancock of Virginia Union University, and Prof. C. G. Weaver of Elizabeth-town, Pa., are the speakers scheduled. D. H. Kyle and Chas. Lawrence of Clarksburg have charge of the arrangements. CHILDREN'S PAGE CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK Children's Book Week+ November 8 to 14, this year—was originated in 1919 by the American Booksellers Association, the Boy Scouts of America, and associated publishers. In these six years it has become a nationally accepted affair. Its intent is to stimulate interest in boys' and girls' books. If you are a reader of books and know of some friend who does not read books, knowing the joy that you get out of reading good stories, you would be doing your share by trying to influence him or her to read a book. You have an idea of what he or she likes; lend him or her a book that contains such reading as you feel will interest him or her, and perhaps this will be the beginning of arousing a deep interest in good literature. I would like for our readers to send in letters telling of the good books that they have read at some time. No matter what the book is, let us know. THE LITTLE PASTRY COOK My little girl was expecting company last Saturday. She asked me for a simple recipe for cake. The recipe here given was used by her, and she was greatly pleased. Try it for yourself. Needed: One-third cup butter; one cup brown sugar; two eggs; one-half cup milk; one and three-quarters cups flour; three teaspoons baking powder; one-half teaspoon cinnamon; one-half teaspoon nutmeg; one cup dates, stoned and cut in pieces. Cream butter, add other ingredients, and beat until thoroughly mixed. Mixing should take about three minutes. Fill greased and floured muffin tins two-thirds full and bake fifteen or twenty minutes. FRACTIONS The univresities to be found in last week's puzzle are: 1. Shaw; 2. Fisk; 3. Howard; 4. Allen; 5. Atlanta; 6. Wilberforce; 7. Morris-Brown; 8. Payne; 9. Lincoln; 10. Biddle. B-4-U-4-get it, write that letter to the "Children's Page." NOW. Here are a few of the first letters sent in as entrants in our letter contest. Two tickets each will be given for the three best letters from Tribunites telling what kind of picture they like to see Douglas Fairbanks in. The contest came to a close on Friday, October 30th. Tickets will be mailed to the winners, Saturday, October 31st. The Children's Page goes to press on Wednesday morning, hence we will not be able to announce the winner nor publish the winning letters this week. The winners' names and the winning letters will be published next week. This contest is limited to children sixteen years old or under. The prizes will be tickets to see Douglas Fairbanks in "Don Q" which will show at the Howard Theatre, one week beginning Monday, November 2nd. Dear Editor: I liked Douglas Fairbanks in "Robin Hood," because the picture was so full of thrills and adventure. The adventures with Midge, the miller's son, and the Sheriff of Nottingham and King Richard, the Lion Hearted, at that time the King of England, are very full of thrills. WILLIAM/WHITE(11) Dead Editor: I have seen Douglas Fairbanks play in different types of pictures, but I think that I prefer seeing him play in such pictures as "Robin Hood" and "The Thief of Bagdad." Of course he really plays his role excellently in love pictures and others, but he seems to play true to his particular type and more vividly portray the characters of "Robin Hood" and the "Thief of Bagdad." Just as "Rudy" Valentine and Navarro are more effective when screened in the roles of sheiks, so Douglas Fairbanks shows true to form in such pictures as those above named. EERNICE SHAW(?) Dear Editor: Douglas Fairbanks is one of my favorite movie stars. I think that he takes his part very well in all of his pictures. The reason that I like Douglas Fairbanks' pictures is that they are thrilling, entertaining and interesting. The love plots woven in with good acting are fine. His pictures show life as it really is and do not exaggerate as some pictures do. Douglas Fairbanks has a wonderful counter- HAL --- HALLOWEEN Dwarfs and goblins sneak about, sir, The trees have got the twitches; Black cats softly purr and meow And ride the backs o' witches.

Every moment is time well spent when viewing this great movie star. I am confident, from reading critics and advertisements that "Don Q" is a picture that stands out with the best, and that everyone should see it. May "Doug's" movie success continue and the public be blessed with such great pictures as "Don Q." THELMA E.

Well, I sat at our window and watched the rain come down. From the window I could see across a field and in that field was a cow. When the rain came down so hard the cow went beneath a tree and stayed there until the rain stopped. There I was all dry and the poor cow was out there getting wet. I'm glad I'm not a girl and I am glad I am not a cow. Love to all. CARL A. THOMPSON(10) HOW TO BUILD A FIRE Dear Editor: Some times the simplest thing is worth knowing. Every child should know how to make a fire. Perhaps this will be of value to some of our readers. 1. Close up all dampers. 2. Shake the grate. 3. Remove ashes 4. Put in crumpled paper. 5. Cover with kindling placed criss-cross. Use fine kindling at bottom with sticks of soft wood on top. 6. Add a thin layer of coal. 7. Open the ash pit and smoke pipe dampers. 8. Light the paper. 9. When the fuel is burning freely fill the firepet close the damper in the ash pit, adjust the one in the smoke-pipe. 10. Attend to fire two to four times a day. 11. In adding coal leave part of glowing fire exposed. 12. Put only a little coal on a low fire. Smiles and laughter, smiles and grins Makes one's mind as sharp as pins. WELCOME, CORA!

I am an old Honor Child, I have won four prizes from the page. I have sent in letters, stories, verses, drawings, cross-word puzzles, and jingles. I am just letting you know that I am yet a Tribunite and that I try very hard to live up to the Tribunite's Pledge copied here; TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. VERANICE W. WEST(16) WHEN MOTHER WAS A CHILD Dear Editor: Mother thinks that the Children's Page is dandy, and so do I. When she was a girl she used to read the St. Nicholas magazine. Here is a little verse she often recites: I'm sure that two and three make six, And six plus three is eight. I've counted it on my fingers, And worked it on my slate. But our teacher—if you'll believe it, She isn't very bright, She had it wrong herself,—and said That my work wasn't right. I like this little poem, so I have learned it by heart. I go to school but I am not like that little girl who says that six plus three are eight. THOMAS A. BARRETT(14) ```markdown ``` SUBSCRIPTION-BLANK THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE 920 U. Street, N.W.

HOWARD'S RETENTION WILL ONLY STIMULATE MEN TO COMPLETE ORGANI- ZATION MORE QUICKLY Besides, a 12% per cent increas for the Pullman porters was a mer‘ pittance, a virtual insult. The very fact that it only raised the pay t $67.50 a month is comment sufficient Only a) conscienceless highwaymar could have the heart to reduce a man’: wages which are already almost noth. ing. Granting that the other work- ers were reduced 12% per cent, they were still getting three, four, five and six times as much as the hapless Pullman porter. s In terms of dollars and cents, it means this. Let us take for example a Trainman whose pay is $250 a month. To reduce his pay 12% per cent means that he will lose $31.25 a month, which still leaves him $218.75 monthly wages. But the Pullman por- ters’ wages were so low that a 12% per cent increase still held him to the starvation level, a level which no white railroad worker would think of accepting. In fact, if the Pullman porters had received a 100 per cent increase, they still would be justified in demandnig more wages, because their wages are already at’a miser- ably low level. ‘The Pullman Company has tried to trick and befuddle the porters with percentage increases. Twelve and ‘one-half per cent increase in wages to Pullman porters means nothing. It is like the boy who only has one ap- ple, getting an increase in apples of 100 per cent which merely gives him two apples, whereas the girl with 100 apples who only gets a 10 per cent inereases possesses 110, A vast dif- ference, this. Although the boy's per cent of increase in apples was 10 times greater than the girl's, still the girl had 108 apples more than the boy. So it is with the Pullman porters, ‘They are not getting anything of any consequence anyhow, _ consequently, when they get a ten or twenty per cent increase, they haven't got much Because it is based upon too low a wage scale, Hence the Pullman por- ters have got to watch the so-called percentage increases trumped up by the Pullman Company and trotted out by their hired “Big” Negro tools to fool them. Now for some more meaningless sophistry from Mr. Howard. Say: he: “Before the wages of the Pull- man porter can be increased again the wages of other railroad employee: must be increased.” That does no OUR SUCCESS MEANS YOUR SONS’ AND DAUGHTERS’ SUCCESS [er anaes eee La gy See Ee —— sae al oes a ee ee Vm ee E, OSS 0 : follow. In the above paragraph he just maintained that the pay of the Pullman porters was increased 12% per cent by the Railroad Labor "Board while it reduced the pay of other railroad workers by 12% per cent. Moreover, workers get wage inceases when they are able to de- mand them, not before. Again, why should the ‘adjustment of the wages of the Pullman porters wait upon the [adjustment of the wages of the other railroad workers, when the Pullman ‘Company and the railroad companies ‘are different and distin corpora- tions? Engineers, switchman, train- en and Pullman porters are not paid by the same corporation. This is so obvious that even Mr, Perry Howard ‘ought to know it. This medieval economist goes on: “And wages cannot be increased until there is an increase in earnings of the railtoad companies\” ~Well, in the first. place, the Pullman porter has nothing to do with railroad com- panies. In the second place, so far as increased earnings are concerned, the Pullman Company, in its own report, admits that the last fiscal year was the best in its entire history, earning the fabulous figures of $83,037,749, as compared with $81,240,608 in the pre- vious year. The net income for the year totaled $15,771,976, equivalent to $11.68 a share on 350,000 shares of capital stock, par value $100, out- standing, compared with net income of $15,603,062 in 1923, equivalent to $11.56 a share. ‘Thus the figures sup- plied by the company itself shows, contrary to Mr. Howard, a big in- crease in net income and general bus- iness. Hence the argument of the company’s “Big” Negro “white hope” is as unsound and untenable as it is inane and childish, Besides, think of a so-called Negro leader trying to frame up reasons why a rich, powerful company such as the Pullman Company should not pay the underpaid and overworked Pull- man porter a living wage! And all for a miserable mess of pottage, a job as counsel for the company. No wonder the white race has such little respect for our Negro leaders. White leaders of opinion and business affairs as- sume that Negro leaders are purchas- able, that they have their price to be- tray their race. And in most cases ‘they are right. So few, indeed, have ‘the guts to stand upon a principal, ‘to maintain a high standard of char- acter. Of course, there are some who do, and they stand out as shining ex- ceptions. Mr. Howard says further that fo | the Pullman Company to pay the Pull: \man porters a living wage would THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1925 Part of Our Fleet of Funeral, Wedding and Sightseeing Cars bankrupt it. How silly! The com- pany’s fiscal report belies this state- ment. Isn't it strange that. Mr. How- ard is so interested in saving money for the Pullman Company that he is willing to starve the Pullman porter who supplies the only service which the company sells? He does not kick about the Pullman conductors getting $155 a month to begin with, but he is mighty afraid that the company will go bankrupt if the Pullman porters get the same pay the conductors get. But listen to this! The acme of fol- ly and nonsense: “Such a situation,” (meaning the porters’ demand for ‘a living wage) “would cause the Pull- man Company to look about for cheap- fer labor. In that event Filipinos are available and white men in the guise of trainmen would not be averse to accepting their places.” Now this is pure bunk. It is moonshine. It is intended to frighten the men from organization. But he won't succeed. ‘To begin with, pubic opinion would not permit the Pullman Company to use any high-handed, autocratic meth- ods in attempting ‘to put so-called Filipinos-in the places of Negroes be- cause they demanded a living wage through their own union, Nor would the Pullman Company think about doing it, because it knows of the ef- ficiency ‘of the Negro worker who is the basis of its prosperity. The com- pany is not foolish enough to exper- iment with the producers of the only thing they sell—service—by employ- ing a group of workers alien in lan- guage, customs. and manners to the American public, And be it now and hereafter understood, that the public, the buyer of the service of the Pull- man Company, will determine and de- cide who shall supply that service. For the edification of Mr. Howard, may I say that the company did not dispense with the services of the Pull- man conductors when they organized and increased their pay over 100 per cent. “As for trainmen taking, the places of Negroes on the Pullman cars, this could only emanate from one who is either a hopeless igno- ramus or a consummate hypocrite; either or which renders him useless or a menace to the race. For, what earthly advantage would it be to the Pullman company to put trainmen in the places of the Negro Pullman porters when the trainmen now receive four or five times the pay of the porters? The company would be doing the very thing which Brother Howard contends it is try- ing to avoid, namely, go bankrupt. But this statement above amply shows that Mr. Howard hasn’t the slightest idea of what he is talking about. He is simply mouthing some- thing since the cortpany is paying him to chloroform the Pullman port- ers so that they will be satisfied with their miserable lot. Not only that, if white men were put on the Pull- man cars they would organize in less than six months, ‘Bat supposed the Pullmas-company should threaten to put Filipinos. or white men in the Pullman cars as ay because the Negroes organ- to demand a living wage and manhood rights. The only manly an¢ effective answer to that threat would be to tell them that if they want tc put Filipinos or white men on the ears because Negro Pullman porters like white men, are organizing to de- mand more pay, better hours and bet- ter working conditions, to put them on. It is better to maintain your man. hood and get off the Pullman. car: than to kowtow and lick the boots 0! the Pullman company for a few crumbs which any other group of self. respecting men would reject. Ne- groes in the Pullman service had jobs before they went into the service anc they can get jobs if they leave it. _ There is no use alowing a “second hand” Negro politician to scare men with spirit into submission to op- pression, Not: satisfied with his nameless puerilities—misnamed, economic view- point—he labors to drag in some half-wit comment on the movement to organize the Pullman porters as constituting a denial of the existence of God. And this is supposed to be a lawyer, too. The charge is so groundless that it does not merit 2 decorous reply. He ends with this brilliant com- ment: “I urge every common sense man in the employ of the Pullman company to let the wild-eyed, long- haired, leather lung, straving bol- shevists and communists go on their way.” Presto! The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is destroyed, in Brother Howard's imagination. The charge of Bolshevism has done the deed! Such epithets, such names, are the little barricades behind which impot ent intellects hide when they can- not answer arguments. Brother Perry W. Howard, sometimes known euphe- misiteally as‘ “Pat’s Perry,” might just as well realize that the Brother- hood of Sleeping Car Porters will be on the map, a credit to the Pull- man porters in particular and the race in general, long after his name is cnosigned to the limbo of oblivion from which it ought never tc emerge. And I herewith challenge Mr, How- ard to debate the question of the right, necessity and value of the Pull- man porters’ organizing a union in any or all of the big cities of the country, so that the public may decide who is right, and I shall be perfectly willing to abide by the verdict of pub- lie opinion. NORTHEASTERN LIFE LICENSED IN DELAWARE Dover, Del—The commissioner of insurance, Hon. Chas. M. Hollis has just issued license to the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, of Newark N. J. to begin the sale of insurance in this State. | This will be -gratifyine news to the hundreds of stockholders of the North- eastern which early this year absorbed the Lineoln-Douglass Life Insurance Company which had been organizing for some time. The delay incident to organization had tended to discourage many of those who went into the movement. Early in March this year the Lin- coin-Douglass unanimously. voted to consolidate with the Northeastern Life Insurance Cmopany of Newark, N. J. then being organized in Newark. President Harry H. Pace of. the Northeastern company immediately visited the Commissioner of _In- surance of Deleware and the whole matter was approved and the consol- idation effected.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1925 Two Suspended From Poro School in Cincinnati Holds First Tuskegee Vet Hospital (Continued from page 1) Jones to furnish him certain information. Mr. Jones complied with this request. Photostatic copies of these communications have been made and will be used as evidence to substantiate the charges. Several months ago Mr. Jones made charges against Major Ward is connection with the management of the hospital. These charges were investigated, but the Veterans Bureau has never made public its findings. At the office of the National Rehabilitation Committee, which is maintained here by the American Legion, it was stated that Capt. Watson B. Miller, chairman of this committee, a vice Tuskegee while on a tour of southern hospitals and would make a personal inspection of conditions there. The Tuskegee hospital situation was discussed at the American Legion convention in Omaha, in the rehabilitation committee. The establishment of another hospital for disabled Negro veterans or separate wards in existing hospitals was proposed as a solution. The rehabilitation committee was advised that it was difficult to get ex-service men to remain at the Tuskegee hospital or to get men from north of the Mason and Dixon line to go there. The Tuskegee hospital is said to be the finest of its kind operated by the Government.

In outlining his career, he said he was a graduate of Fisk university and Oberlin college and was a prominent figure in the church. Miss Mary E. Woolley, of Mount Holyoke college, Mass., was nominated. It developed that she was not eligible. Mrs. Orsenson was then nominated. In the discussion that followed one delegate said that the country today is facing a "grave situation" and that if Dr. Cash were not elected, the action, taking place in Washington would be misunderstood. He then recalled that the Congregational Church had always stood for the freedom and education of the Negro. The election of Dr. Cash was loudly acclaimed. President Coolidge addressed the council Tuesday night. Concluding his address he said: "I have tried to indicate what I think the country needs in the way of help under present conditions. It needs more religion. If there are any general failures in the enforcement of the law, it is because there have been general failures in the disposition to observe the law. "I can conceive of no adequate remedy for the evils which beset society except through the influences of religion." The Wednesday morning session was largely given over to a discussion of a proposed merger of the various missionary societies of the Congregational Church. The Wednesday afternoon session was taken up by the annual meeting or the American Missionary Association. The Rev. William Horace Day, of Bridgeport, Conn., was re-elected its president. Among the pie-presidents elected was Sol. C. Johnson, of Savannah, Ga. After hours of debate Thursday, the National Council of Congregational Churches voted to merge the missionary agencies of the church into two plans. The plans call for the combining of three women's boards of foreign missions with the American board, giving women a representation of at least one-third on the controlling boards and committees. In addition, the nine home missionary societies will be merged into one board with a general board of directors and four departmental committees to administer details of missionary work.

If we are in harmony with that Power, friends, we have nothing to fear. "In dedicating this tablet to the memory of Mr. John F. Parker and Miss Sarah Gray, we are sure you all know that their lives were spent faithfully for the advancement of their race, and for all mankind. We feel assured, that this gathering here today, in honor of our departed friends, fully realizes, that they are yet alive in our memory, and will continue throughout eternity.

"To the teachers of Alexandria who are sarcinating for the same cause, we say to you, follow in their footsteps; the crown they are wearing, you also can wear. The children you are teaching today will be glad to perpetuate you life work also. "As we are paying a tribute of respect to those who started us on our journey through life, so will these children you are teaching, remember 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.

Advertising Rates Furnished on Request. THE POSITION OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO ‘The Colored American—according to Kelly Mik Jer, ex-dean of Howard University—is. between ‘the devil and the deep blue sea, In the eternal fight between labor and capital, Mr. Miller avers, that “logic aligns the Negro with labor, but good. sense arrays him on the side of capital.” There- fore in an article under the caption “The Negro 28 a Workingman,” in the November issue of “The American Mereury,” the ex-dean runs, true ‘to the form of our so-called leaders. They: throw Jogie to the winds and decry anything and every- thing, even the value of organization, in the proletarian movement of the world. ‘The sole objective of capital is‘ more capital, “The workman is listed. along with the material assets as an instrument. of production,” avers ‘Miller. Yet the Negro should not “flout” the “generous advances,” made by the capitalists, “by joining the restless ranks [organized labor] which ‘threaten industrial ruin.” For “the capitalistic lass,” writes the ex-dean, “possesses the cul- ‘ture and the conscience which hold even the malig- nity of_race passion in restraint, There is nothing in the white working class to which the ‘Negro can appeal. They are the ones who lynch and burn and torture him. He must look to the ‘upper element for law and order.” From the foregoing quotation, it seems that ‘Mr. Miller would press the Negro back into a cult of submissiveness and a state of slavery by the doctrine that the common people shall for- ever remain a part of that system of society's organization whereby a few ride on the backs of many. He knows that the safety of the capi- talist’s position lies in its ability to keep whites and blacks fighting among themselves—to keep them separate by means of race prejudice. He Iknows that thinking on the part of the common people is the thing “dangerous to civilized [capi- talistic] society.” He knows that the mind is a social explosive, therefore, it must be used under the capitalist’s most carefully regulated restric- tions. Industrialism based on exploitation wil stand but little tampering with. The thin crust which separates capital and labor may easily be shattered by the explosive force of a thinking populace. One thinking workman can do harm; 6,060,000 con raisc—the crust, and throw it into oblivion. Therefore Mr. Millet would suppress every ten- dency of the Negro towards independence of though! and massed action. He would assign these to the duly accredited agents of the capi- talists. He would, through his awe-inspiring doc- trine—and its reserves of damnation—keep sub- missiveness and slavery fixed in the working man’s heart—beat down the seditious prompting ere it comes to birth in deed; force industrial slavery by a ghostly terrorism. Yet, whatever the outcome, the history of 6,000 Fears séem suflicient to, show us. that the coro- nation of workingmen is drawing nigh. Day by day we hear speech of it; night unto night we find Imowledge concersing it; it has gone through all the earth—this demand of working men for a contzolling voice in theiv destinies. And the Ne- gro, the disinherited class of workingmen, will REFUSE to remain disinherited. The methods by which ho attempts to come unto his own may mot always be wise, but the effort shall forever be noble. - ORGANIZING THE PORTERS It is the policy of The: Tribune to keep its read- «xs well informed concerning things vital to the zace; to present both sides of all issues and to taake such comment as it deems germane to the eétablishment of the race's well being. Im the battle between the newly organized Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company, we have presented, impartially and dispassionately, the releases of the organizers sf the porters and those of the agents of the Pullman Company. We have done this. beeause we were actuated by a firm conviction that, if our readers knew both sides of the question, they would more highly appreciate our efforts and be more thoroughly convinced of our sincerity in giving a reliable guide for thought and action. Unionism among Pullman Porters is. of vital eeonomie interest to our ¢eoup. The Pullman ‘Company employs 17,500 porters, all of whom are ‘Negroes. If we should compute this om the: basis of four and a half persons per family—which is ‘the estimated: average that the government says ‘constitutes a family—we- shall find that nearly 80.000 of our group are directly concerned. It is difficult to find a Negro family, in the North at Jeast, which has not now or has not had in the past a relative employed by the Pullman Com- ‘pany: We be'ieve so firmly in organization that it has ‘Become 1 part of us. We admire it everywhere found, »1 encourage it wherever we believe it is ‘being ured for the good of humanity. We are foreed tc xdmire it even among criminals. though ‘we mos’ thoroughly detest the use to which it 4s put. And in regards to the porters, we feel ‘that they have more than a right to organize— ‘they wold be morally culpable were they not to so. They are an integral part of the founda- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1925 My People and Other Folks Strange the inconsistence of “My People.” Just afew short weeks: ago,, several among them were telling the writer of this column. how interesting- ly alive they found it—“So refreshing, don't you ‘know?"—and we felt good. Now along comes some of those same persons with the. caution that oar future well being is in jeopardy. if the men- ‘tioning. of matters that reflect upon. the. elect- ‘mong-us is continued, _ Well, folks; the answer to that is that matters ‘mentioned in this column are based upon facts land: experiences, and the motives. behind . the penting of these facts. and experiences are pure and clean. These narrations and reflections are our contribution to the constructive development of ‘race consciousness. The economic well-being of ‘a race is.cf more consequence than are-the tender feelings of a buneh of people: who: are so self- | important as to regard themselves as above criti- cisnr, and entitled te a separate consideration from that which prevails with the group of which they ave—perhaps regretfully—a part. If we can mention little foults that may, read: ily be corrected: to the best interest of all, so, well and so good. If it is necessary to call names. and be @ bit frank, or even. brutal, to get results, it’s just the same to us. The resulting good is all that is sought. With so. many law cases being started in the interests of the race at large in nearly a score of cities, and with the collections: being: gathered to finance the legal forces, seems that our law- yers have a nice winter assured; that is, if the color line is not drawn against them, and they sucoced in getting some of the many retainers being handed out.

Had a late sample when a busi- ness man who had never advertised one bronze penny’s worth in the Tribune during its whole five years, yet who had received a large patronage from its owners, wrote asking his “Dear Friends” to minutely describe his commodities sold and used in connection with a project that he knew was certain of front-page mews. mention, He supplied very minute details, including the ad- dress of his plaee of business. The letter closed with an impressive statement as to the value of publicity; yet when an advertising man had pre- pared some attractive drawings and nice copy for his. use and presented: the cost estimate, he found that he “didn’t re’lly want any advertis- in’ at this time” despite the fact that the season for the particular wares he handles is now at its height. It's awful to be a cigar fiend. Friend wife has told us that, and it is non-plussing to some deal- ers for us to know cigar values.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1925 Masonic Musings Masonic Musings (By Mac) Most Worshipful Grand Master Charles R. Ford and his cabinet of officers of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge, F. A. A. M., inaugurated their series of annual visitations to the sixteen subordinate lodges with a visit to Price Hall Lodge No. 14 on Thursday night, where they were cordially and fraternally received. Worshipful Master J. H. Powell welcomed the official party in a brief and pointed speech, which was seconded by Senior Warden, Elmo L. Perry, and the Junior Warden, D. H. Edmonds, in the same manner. After transacting the official business incident to the annual visitation, the Grand Master called on Past Masters John C. Bruce, Frank Cardoza, H. M. Scurlock, F. E. Parks, and J. Milton stand for remarks, and they all responded in a fitting manner. The gist of the remarks of the entire group was the usual request for information as to the progress being made in the plans for the completion of the New Masonic Temple at 10th and U Streets, N.W., and the Grand Master answered by telling of the work of the committee operating under the jurisdiction of the District Supreme Court, and the prospects which they have in view. The Secretary of the Lodge, Past Master William E. Cobb, who is a Past Senior Grand Warden, made some pertinent observations on the subject, after which the Lodge was closed by the officers of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge, by invitation of the Worshipful Master. The next official visit was made to Hiram Lodge No. 4, where Worshipful Master Hiram Thompson welcomed the guests with an interesting speech Senior Warden James O. Wornley and Junior Warden Richard Dandridge added their welcome to that of the Master's in a nice neat manner. The principal speeches on this occasion were delivered by Past Master Elian G. Evans (one of the plaintiffs in the bill filed against the New Masonic Hall Corporation), and Past Grand Master William H. Jackson, Treasurer of the Grand Lodge. Dr. Evans dwelt at length on the motives which actuated him in taking the steps which resulted in the present situation, while Dr. Jackson spoke in glowing terms of the remarkable outpouring of Master Masons at the Divine Services of of the Supreme Council and 33rd degree Masons at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on the previous Sunday night Pythagoras Lodge No. 9 was next on the list of Grand visitations, "where the same questions were asked, and answers returned as before." Worshipful Master Richard W. Stevens welcomed the Grand Officers on behalf of his Lodge, and was followed by Senior Warden Moses Jackson and Junior Warden James E. Smith Brother Kelly Miller was on the program for the official welcome address, which he delivered in the usual forceful manner which characterizes the Professor. The last official visit for the month of October was made in St. Johns Lodge No. 12, where Worshipful Master Robert G. Mason presides, with Floyde A. Herndon as Senior Warden and Thomas Ba'n as Junior Warden. This Lodge extended a cordial welcome to the distinguished guests which was participated in by Past Masters Comer, Anderson, Hardwick Brien, Blackwell and R. W. Marshall in addition to the three principal officers. The lodge invited the officers of the Grand Lodge to be present and celebrate with them on their anniversary at Enon Baptist Church on Sunday night, November 29. 1925. Five lodges will be visited during the first week in November, viz., Felix No. 3 on Monday night; Meridian No. 6 on Tuesday night; Warren No. 8 on Wednesday night; Social No. 1 on Thursday night; and Ionic No. 14 on Friday night.

Shaking the Plum Tree Editor's Note: Bishop E. D. W. Jones of the A. M. E. Zion Church, tells in the story below, of the many problems and perplexities that a B.shop must face. He gives his frank opinion on what he thinks is good and likewise, criticises what he believes to be faults. The Editor believes that this is one of the best articles on the Negro Bishop, ever written, and is thankful to Bishop Jones for his permission to publish same. (By Bishop E. D. W. Jones) (Continued from last week) The best proof of our fitness is not the estimation in which we are held by professional cajolers, but the demonstrations and exhibits we make of our consciousness of what we really are and what we think of ourselves. The bishopric is not alone an office; it is a self-consecration of the individual to a specific task—the Kingdom of God. Men and votes may elect one to the bishopric, but men and votes do not make a bishop. He is made by the creative forces of his own life and character. He draws his wealth of virtue and deeds from the spiritual treasury of deep inward convictions of right, honesty and duty. The man who has nothing to recommend him to the respect and confidence of his fellows but the fact of his election, is poor indeed. The Negro Methodist Church must stop right now, where it is, and take an inventory of its potentialities, as well as of its worthiness and incriminating practices. It must recognize the fact that greed, bossism, ruthless driving, intimidation, partiality, politics, favoritism, lack of sympathy, tenderness and kindness on the part of its high officials are revolting in this advanced day of culture and the contagion of cultural atmosphere that has infected our whole constituency. It must respect the superior ability, loyalty, and devotion of its laity, and bring them into the councils of the church. As to its bishops, they must hark back to their vows of consecration and rededicate their lives anew to its obligations. They must recall the twice-warned injunction of Biblical admonition against the danger and poison of filthy luce. If the Negro church is the custodian of the oracles of God, it must onfold to the rising Negro of today an enlarged spiritual hope and vision, a new-day gospel program of activities that will enlist every unit of our strength. It must snatch the vivacity of youth from mere fancy and blandishment. It must corral the graduate and give place to his trained mind. It must lay hold on the musical genius and gift of the race and attune its sweetest notes to loftier song. It must open a visiting and compelling pew to the doctor and lawyer. It must show the real estate dealer that there is much land yet to possess, and the trader must find its milk and honey that he can buy without money or price. In all these reforms the Negro bishop must set the standard, because the success of Methodism revolves around his initiative. If he would restore respect and confidence in his leadership, there must be above all a complete negation of self. He must heed the cries and appeals of the people and not neglect to feed them, who need more than bread. Misery and the helplessness of the masses must engage him. His power must generate from a pious but productive life. Like Jesus he must always be at leisure to the sorrows, tears, and burdens of the multitude. He must do away with pride, boasting, and bombast so that he can say: "For me to live is Christ."

PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN Discovers A Remedy That Grows Hair Almost Over Night Says She Is Willing to Give Secret to Anyone Who Wants Long Hair After a long spell of sickness Mrs. P. O. Burton of 1337 Christian street South Philadelphia, Pa., found herself almost bald. Her hair had fallen out in handfails and it was so short she could not fix it up in any style. She tried everything she could think of but got no results whatever. Finally she gave up the thoughts of ever being able to get anything to give results, when she discovered that her hair had stopped falling, and was gradually getting longer. She continued to use the last preparation (which she made herself), and after a few months her hair was long enough to fix up in any style. Mrs. Burton says that the ingredients can be bought at any drug store; and that she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Note:—Mrs. Burton has nothing at all to sell. Out of pure gratitude she is passing on the secret that gave her long beautiful hair. It's free! Just send stamped envelope to Mrs. P.

The Brown Panther ripped into his opponent with such fury as time was called, that the end was forecast with the first two or three blows. Johnson took frightful punishment for two minutes and two seconds, and then, as he stood there groggy, and practically defenseless, his handlers tossed a towel into the ring in token of defeat. At that very moment, Wills, was setting himself for a right to the jaw which, considering Johnson's defenseless position, would have sent him crashing to the floor. The crowd was in an uproar, so fast and furious was the going for those two minutes and so sudden and dramatic was the end. Hank Lewis was the referee and after the men had shaken hands he called time. Johnson led a left hook to the body and then landed a second left to the same place as Wills was booed for pinning back his opponent's arm. That booing seemed to rouse Wills and rushing Johnson to a corner he inflicted dreadful punishment landing rights and lefts almost at will. Johnson managed to get out of his predicament but Wills rushed him all over the ring, and staggered him with stiff punches to head and body. At this point the towel was tossed into the ring. Johnson was the first to hop through the ropes. He was followed quickly by "The Panther." Johnson kneel on one knee and spoke a few words into a telephone brought into the ring for broadcasting purposes. Wills, too, spoke a word or two into the instrument. Johnson had on his famous brown and black checkered bath robe. Wills' was a soiled blue and gray creation. Johnson wore blue satin trunks, while Wills sported bright green satin. They wore no gloves into the ring, and they were laced on as they sat in their corners. As early as 8:30, the fire marshalls appeared at he club and told the promoters that they would have to stop selling admissions of any sort. By that time there was an overflow of the men who take a chance on getting a seat that is not reserved. Outside the crowd resembled the great mob that stormed this same armory on the night that Fred Fulton fought Wills. The great portion of this overflow were Harry Wills' roots. They begged simply for a chance to get in no matter what the cost. The cost went up too, for at this moment they began to sell the "tops" which means of course, the highest priced seats in the house. The men had weighed in at 3:30 yesterday afternoon in the armory where they were to do their fighting and Wills was the heavier of the two. He scaled 215 pounds and Johnson 203.

HAMPTON-UNION GAME ON THANKSGIVING TO BE GALA EVENT Hampton, Va. Oct. 28—Thanksgiving Day will bring together again in Richmond, Va., two old-time rivals, whose competitive record during the past twenty years has been a long struggle for gridiron supremacy. Hampton and Union, during the past four years have waged fierce and close battles each team having won two games. All of these contests have borne close scores; the long end of which was earned only through sheer perseverance combined with a grand last-minute rally. In 1921, Union took an easy victory at 12-3; the following year the Seasiders balanced the books with 8-7 win; in 1923 the Panthers again took the lead at 7-6, only to have Hampton in a commemorable uphill fight snatch another victory, 19-12, to even up the count last Thanksgiving Day. The 1925 encounter will bear unexpected importance not only on the balanced record of recent games between the schools, but also on the C.I.A.A.'s highest award. --- Neither Team Able to Score in Mud Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 25—Two powerful football teams clashed at Laidley field yesterday afternoon and after four periods of smashing play, neither had scored. A light, speedy eleven from the West Virginia Collegiate Institute was pitted against a heavy university team from Howard University. In the first half, everything was in Howard's favor, the visiting backs crashing through for gain after gain and the plucky Institute forwards were forced to battle continually with their backs to the wall. However, in the second half there was a complete change in the aspect of the matinee. Taking advantage of the breaks, using better judgment in handling punts and following the ball at all times, Institute time after time had the ball within scoring distance. However, the field was too soggy. It was a veritable quagmire, a bog, and Institute's speed was never given an opportunity. The result might be called a moral victory for Institute, though, because Howard was looked upon by impartial observers as being the favorite. Possibly four thousand football enthusiasts attended. A whole section in midfield was reserved for Governor Gore and his staff. The governor arrived shortly before game time and stayed to the end, discussing the plays with J. Walter Barnes, member of the state board of control, President John W. Davis and others. Covered With Mud Identity of the players was difficult to maintain from the press coop. Scarcely a few plays had been run when opponents could not be distinguished. Howard started with a rush, receiving the initial kick-off and ramming thru the lighter Institute wall. Howard scored seven first downs in the first half to one by Institute. However, the boys representing Institute had all the better of the argument in the second half, at one time having the ball on Howard's eight-yard line. An attempted end run resulted in a ten-yard loss, however, and an attempted field goal lacked both height and direction. Howard's safety man fumbled in several critical stages of the game in the second stanza but even when Institute recovered, the footing was so insecure that nothing resulted. Both were powerful defensive teams but neither uncorked anything in the way of an offensive other than straight football. Institute tried the aerial route on a few occasions but failed to use it effectively. Lowry was the most consistent ground gainer for the local team, while Nelson and Gaithers, playing at ends for the Yellow Jackets, put up an excellent defensive game. Tyson was Howard's best player, particularly when carrying the ball. Contest Play by Play First quarter: Institute kicked to Howard's 18-yard line and the latter returned the pill 14 yards. A series of line plunges netted 24 yards for two first downs. Institute was penalized 15 yards for holding and Howard made another first down. Howard was thrown for a loss and forced to punt. Institute receiving the ball on its 25-yard line. The locals could not gain and they punted to Howard's 30-yard line. Tyson and Brown made another first down for Howard. They made another first down on two plays. After advancing the ball eight yards, Howard was penalized 15 yards for holding. Howard made six yards and fumbled a bad pass but recovered on the 40-yard line. Institute gained the ball on downs. The Yellow Jackets could not gain and Turner kicked 50 yards to Howard's one-yard line. Howard's safety man waited for the ball to roll over the line and it stuck in the mud. Howard punted and Turner caught the ball on his 40-yard line. Turner tried an on-side kick but the slippery ball made success impossible, Howard recovering. Line bucks failed and Howard punted to Institute's 40-yard line. Howard made five first down in the first quarter. Second quarter: Institute made two short gains and kicked out of bounds on Howard's 35-yard line. Howard was penalized five yards. The visitors lost a couple of yards and punted to their own 45-yard line. Lowry threw a pretty pass to Turner for 15 yards but Institute was penalized 15 yards for holding because Lowry had not been back five yards when the ball was thrown. Branch fumbled and Howard recovered. Branch had an open field and could have made a touchdown had it not been for the fumble. Brown and Tyson made 13 yards and a first down. Payne was substituted for Coles. Howard was penalized 15 yards for holding. Terrell was substituted for Tyson and McLean was substituted for Payne. Neither side could gain as the first half ended. Second Half Begins Third quarter: Hodges was substituted for Ward. The third and fourth quarters were marked by numerous punts and fumbles. Institute began getting the breaks and played most of the half in Howard's side of the field. Branch made two neat gains and Lowry pushed the ball over for Institute's first down. Then the Yellow Jackets could not gain and they punched to their own 40-yard line. Howard fumbled and Sanders recovered for Institute. With the ball on THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY.

Lincoln Loses to Wilberforce Wilberforce, O.—Before several thousand persons including society folk from Chicago, Cleveland, Louisville and Dayton, Wilberforce overwhelmed Lincoln (Pa.) University Saturday 25-0. Hero of the contest was "Wu Fang" Ward. Wilberforce's mighty fullback with a Chinese nickname. Carrying half the Lincoln team on his back, he stumbled 5 yards for his team's first touchdown, while the stands were in a perfect bedlam. Ward's strong right arm hurled the 39-yard forward pass that gave Wilberforce the ball on Lincoln's 9-yard line and opportunity for the second score. Not satisfied, this versatile youth dodged and skipped thru the entire squad of Easterners in the final period making two touchdowns. He ran 40 yards for the first, and after a brief rest 67 yards for the second. Lincoln(0) Wilberforce(25) Lancaster)c .LE..... Lewis Wells .LT..... Calloway Henry .Center.....

Washington) Richmond, Va., Oct. 26—The St. Paul Tigers fell before the offensive of the Union Panther by the score of 12 to 0 last Saturday, while a steady drizzle made the footing on Hovey Field slow and uncertain. Virginia Union outclassed St. Paul in every department. With three of the Association's most brilliant stars, Tobin, center, and Shields and Boffman, backs, leading a determined offensive, Union marched on to two well-earned touchdowns. The first touchdown came after 9 minutes of play when Boffman carried the pigskin 14 yards and across the line after Shields had received a punt and raced 41 yards from midfield. The second touchdown came when St. Paul fumbled on their 19-yard line and Ridley (Union) recovered. Shields then hit off-tackle twice for 11 yards; Boffman made 6 yards on a line buck and then Shields plunged across the goal line for another score. Tobin, playing a bang-up game at center, and helping to break up many plays before they formed in the enemy's backfield, received a kick-off on the Saints' 35-yard line and raced 36 yards down the field. Pierce, a tackle, and Smith and Scri伯 of the Tigers played well. The work of Captain Houston and Merritt was prominent in line play, while Washington punted hard. Shields, the sterling Panther back, called signals completely from the halfback position, but later Breatau, the peppery young quarterback barked out the numerals. Shields and Boffman seemed unbeatable at halves. W. A. Smith of Union and W. E. Smith of St. Paul, brothers, were notable in good defensive play. St. Paul and Union made several fumbles due to the slippery ball. With a new backfield combination in the line-up, near the end of the game, Union still seemed better than the visitors. As the whistle ended the much-heralded grid contest, it was interesting to note that Union's goal line had not been crossed this season, although the Panthers' have been pitted against some of the best eleven in the Association. **Union(12)** St. Paul(0) Ruffin . . .

Young) Hampton, Va., Oct. 26—Fighting desperately against seemingly hopeless odds, in the third quarter of their game here Saturday with Hampton Institute, Virginia Normal held their opponents on their 1-yard line for downs and staved off defeat for a scoreless tie. Baker of Petersburg, showed wonderful form as a kicker, and except for two or three blocked kicks, kept the Hilltopters out of serious danger. He hit his stride early beginning with his first punt at the opening of the scrap which sailed 85 yards down the field. He attempted several distant drop-kicks barely missing the uprights, one falling short of the bar by inches only. Epps and Sayles showed merit in the backfield. For Hampton, Vosburgh, Hargrove, and Baker, brother of Petersburgh's stellar general, performed the kicking duties enviably, Hargrove also exemplifying his ability as a superb passer with his arrow-like transfers in crucial moments effecting long gains. Byrd on the receiving end of the Seadsiders' aerial attack was brilliant, and as a ground-gainer, he approached the feats of W. D. Williams who probably performed best in this department. On offense and defense "Wild Man" Lee. in tackle, was in every play, winning his way easily into the hearts of all fans that watched him in his remarkable exhibition. Hampton(0) Va.

New York City, Oct. 22.—(Staff Correspondence for The Associated Negro Press)—There is an old adage that "All things come to those who wait." Some one added, "But you must hustle while you wait." Liberia waited, and hustled, and now is coming into her own. In her effort to borrow $5,000,000 for internal improvements and to tide over a distressing period, she has come back with a private realization twenty times as large, and which, under the plan of action, will be twenty times as valuable in the prosperity and general development of the Western Coast republic. It further goes to show that the American business man will go anywhere to get what he wishes, and he will meet on a high business plane anyone who will furnish him with the things he wishes. The Firestones of Akron, Ohio, want rubber. For quite some time they have been investigating and negotiating with Liberia on a program of rubber development. They have found, to their own satisfaction, that Liberia affords the most advantageous place in the world for the production of rubber, and so they are going after the job in a big way. This tremendous deal, negotiated between a white man, H. S. Firestone, representing rubber industries, and a black man, Edwin Barclay, secretary of state for the Liberian Republic, is undoubtedly the most gigantic business transaction ever enacted between the two acres. It affords an entirely new outlook and a real inspiration for those who obave been skeptical about racial futures. This new field will afford a real outlet for those who have qualifications, and who have adventurous ideas.

This will mean that other business will follow—stores of various descriptions. There will be additional schools, churches and building operations for, it is understood, the people will have to have places to live, and it is known that housing facilities are altogether inadequate at present. Because of climatic conditions, the types of houses are somewhat different from that to which the Americans are accustomed, and hence will not require as long to construct. With American skill in handling sanitary projects on a large scale, it is believed that Liberia will be made one of the most healthful places in the world to live. African fever has been the most dreaded disease, and even the Liberians have found a way to reduce the dangers of this infection. It is, to say the least, romantic to consider what may be the probable outcome of a new "door of opportunity" where thousands of Negro Americans may be induced to return to the land of their fathers, and become a definite part of a new economic development, free from American prejudice and handicaps. It is remarked in passing that Haiti, for the present under an American protectorate, affords another unusual opportunity for commercial development on a large scale.

FAIRBANK STUNTS IN SPANISH CASTLES Famous Star's Equally Famous Athletics Featured in "Don Q," His New Picture Castles in Spain are a reality in Douglas Fairbanks' new United Artists Corporation photoplay, "Don Q, Son of Zorro," scheduled for its local premiere at the Howard Theatre next Monday matinee at 2:15. In addition to the action that takes place in several palaces, the most exciting part of the picture is seen in a picturesque old ruined castle which represents the dilapidated Spanish estates of Don Caesar's family. Here Don Caesar, in the guise of the mysterious Don Q, fighting beside his father, the famous Zorro, overcomes the two arch-villians and thus gets the evidence which exposes the real murderer of the archduke. The way in which all this is accomplished presents one of the most spectacular and surprised denouements ever shown in a photoplay. Thrills pile upon each other so swiftly as to hold the audience breathless with suspense. Douglas brings his famous whip into play, as well as his sword, and performs stunts in extricating himself from tight situations that actually bewilder the eye. The set itself is one of the most ingenuous ever shown on the screen, its silhouetted embattlements towering high against the sky. To obtain the effect shown, a model of the castle was constructed first, and with this as a guide the actual set was built. Surmounting a hill, it reaches to a height of 125 feet, furnishing one of the most impressive and artistic scenes in the picture. You will be started with amazemen att the wonderful vaudeville bill offered in connection with this great picture. The daily matinees begin at 2:15, nights 8:15. Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. Midnight show Friday. Popular prices are fifteen and twenty-five cents matinee, and thirty and fifty cents at night. Lower floor reserved at night. ROSALIA THEATRE The Ten Commandments, Nov. 1 to 4 Facts about "Ten Commandments" Showing at Rosalia moving at Rosina "The Ten Commandments" were accepted as the theme of the great production after a world-wide contest for ideas and suggestions. Eight different persons out of 30,000 hit upon this subject and were awarded a proportionate share of the first prize money. To bring before the people the moving elements of the story of the Exodus required the building of a special city known as Camp DeMille, California, covering an area of 24 miles. To reproduce the City of Rameses required 550,000 feet of lumber, 300 tons of plaster, 25,000 lbs. of nails and 75 miles of cable and wire. Four huge statues of the Pharoah were 35 feet high each. To build them called for 15 tons of modelling clay and 100 tons of plaster. 250 soldiers and 7 officers of the U. S. Army were used as chariot drivers. Wait for Thursday, just wait till you see little Ann Pennington do the Charleston in that colorful novelty screen play, Monta Bell's "Pretty Ladies." A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture with 8 stars.

On November 8 and 9—"Regeneration" will be shown here. Steve Reynolds, the one-leeded actor in the cast, will appear at this theatre in person. REPUBLIC THEATER Sunday and Monday, Nov. 1, 2 Irene Rich in "A Lost Lady." It is a marvelous picture of a woman's life. There are few stories that have been able to draw so realistically the glory and heartache of a beautiful woman, whose mind and heart is ruled by an overwhelming love that sweeps everything before it and leaves moral destruction in its wake. "A Lost Lady" is a picture well worth seeing. Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 3, 4 Lou Tellegen in "With This Ring." The colorful atmosphere of the South Seas is the fine background for "With This Ring." The story concerns the three most fatal words in the English language "With This Ring." An unconventional marriage is made on this South Sea Isle with the beach as the church, a bit of driftwood, the ring and God, the minister. Thursday and Friday, Nov., 5, 6 Creighton Hale and Lilyan Tashan, quarantine, a burglar, a spiritualist, the ex-husband and wife, a burly cop the ex-husband and wife, a burly cop an unsuspecting aunt, and an intensely serious domestic situation are responsible for "Seven Days."

Kyne's famous California South Sea romance featuring Anita Stewart, Bert Lytell, Huntly Gordon, Justine Johnson, and twenty other stars.

November 27th-28th Highland and Venice Beach well Governed Highland and Venice Beach well Governed (By E. B. Henderson) Highland Beach, Maryland, is easily queen of recreation or rest resorts along the waterfronts of the Atlantic Ocean or Chesapeake Bay. Beginning years ago as the dream of the late Major Charles Douglass, son of the most famous Colored American, Frederick Douglass, the acreage he bought and dedicated Highland Beach, along with its neighboring sub-division, Venice Beach, has grown to a well planned and well governed township. The best beach along the Chesapeake Bay fronts the property. A long sandy stretch reaching from Bay Ridge to Arundel-on-the-Bay which shelves so gradually channel-ward that bathers may walk out for nearly a half mile before being submerged affords safe and sane water sports. Two beautiful salt-water lakes bound the community lands. One, Black Walnut Lake, has a natural scenery unsurpassed this side of the lakes of the far northland. Streets and avenues have been named after notable Negroes of Reconstruction Days. Frederick Douglass Booker T. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Henry L. Johnson have trod its shores. Beautiful cottages dot its expanse and one of the largest hostelries for Colored people is operated by Mr. Richard Ware. Citizenry Major Douglass realizing the desirability of maintaining a resort for respectable, intelligent colored people, exercised great care in the disposition of lots, so that the ideals of pleasant community life are common to all Pioneer residents were Major Charles Dauglass, Frederick Douglass. Dr. John R. Franics, Mr. Joseph Douglass, Miss Imogene Wormley and Dr. George Bowen. Later cottages were erected by Dr. Jesse Moorland, Mr. Alfred Lewis, Dr. Milton Francis, Judge Robert Terrell, Mrs. Eula Grey, Dr. John Washington, Mr. Norman Murray, M. Haley Douglass, Dr. Bar- ry Minton and Mr. M. Grant Lucas. In the latest building boom, cottages have been built in Highland Beach or Venice Beach by Mr. Nathaniel Guy, Mr. Reid, Mr. S.D. Milton, Mr W. B. Nixon, Mr. Robert Syphax, Mr. O. T. Taylor, Mr. Cornelius Ridgely, Mr. R. Evans, Mrs. Weir, Mrs. E. B Henderson, Dr. U. S. Wharton, Mr. Mimms, Dr. Miller, Mr. Percy Bond, Dr. Henry Freeman, Mrs. James E. Walker, Dr. Herbert Sclock, Mr. Percy Howard and a spacious hotel by Mr. Richard T. Ware. A few years ago the Maryland Legislature granted articles of incorporation to the people and now it is exclusively managed by them. The original incorporators were: Mayor Haley Douglass, Osborne T. Taylor, Edwin B. Henderson, Eula Grey and Dr. Milton Francis. The last election resulted in the following commissioners: Mayor, Edwin B. Henderson, M. Grant Lucas, secretary; Norman Murray, treasurer; Dr. Milton Francis and Mr. Haley Douglass. A tax of one per cent on the assessed valuation of property is levied for corporation purposes. The next assessment figures will run over $50,000 in Highland Beach alone, which gives the town $500 for town purposes in addition to a percentage of the county road tax. A Citizen's Association over which the present mayor presides, numbers among its members nearly all of the real property owners of Venice and Highland Beach. Over a thousand dollars has been raised in the past few years for improvements. In the past two years new streets have been laid out and graded, electricity has been brought to the town, and a U. S. post office operated by Mrs. Fannie Douglass. Community dances weekly, cared parties, beach parties, pleasure trips in sail and motor crafts are some of the social diversions. Mrs. Audie Lewis is chairman of the committee to erect a pavilion for the community on the beach, for which purpose a large sum has already been raised. Altogether the enterprise marks a distinct epoch in racial progress. CHILDREN'S PAGE FEATURES "Single" Herman Brown advises that the Johnny Lee Long Co. is at the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. The West Georgia Negro Fair will take place at Albany, Ga., November 9 to 14. The Gloth Amusement Company plays the date. The Billy McLaurin Co., "The Ten Speedmakers" is opening the Oregon Theatre, Baltimore, Md., this week. The Dudley office booked the date. H. K. Felts was a recent caller at the Tribune office. He continues to make Washington, D.C., his headquarters. Harris and Mines company with the Billy Clark Broadway shows another week in Georgia after which the show jumps to Cuba for the winter playing a few Florida dates enroute. Mamie Calloway, Ann Jones, Agnolia Brown, Madam Augusta Mines, "Kid" Williams, Alfred Parker, "Old Folks" Turner, Mrs. Margaret Parker, Lewis Scott, Fred Dawson, and Boyd Harris comprise the troupe. ENLARGING TO OPEN ON KEITH TIME NEAR PHILADELPHIA Gus Smith is enlarging the "Hello Dixie" show to thirty people under an arrangement to open for the Keith offices at a point near Philadelphia. He is in the market for a Blues singer who can be featured, a novel act and some choristers and musicians. This office is co-operating with him in the effort to assemble a competent organization. DIRECTING LITTLE THEATRE GROUP Mr. Winfield, director of the Little Theatre, Yonkers New York, is a Negro though all of the other members are white. Reports through trade channels indicate that he is having great success with the organization whose executive office is located at 24 Wolfe Street, that city. He is quite anxious to establish contact with Colored groups such as the Gilpin Players of Cleveland, Ohio; the Gilpin Players of Omaha, and the Howard players group of Washington, D. C. Gibson's Brown Skin Revue Seldon does a tabloid manager find himself with several conflicting offers for any given date in these parous times in the theatrical circles. Sueh is the case however with Bethel Gibson, owner, and his family, the featured THE FIRST WORLD WAR THE GIBSON TRIO Feature artists of the show greater part of Gibson's Brown-Skin Revie, now playing in Dudley theaters in Washington, Pittsburg and Newark, N. J. conducting a telegraphic contest for the next week's engagement. It was once the Gibson trio with the baby Corrine as the stellar attraction working with Dad and Mother. Later Baby Albert grew into service, and mother retired to the handling of the business and providing for further additions to the juvenile end of the act. Finally the act became a show; and one of such merit as to get highly favorable criticism in New York papers when the act played at Lafayette Theater there. The show has been a draw everywhere where it has played. Those youngsters were just "A knockout." Gibson states that he is trying to rival the Eddie Fodd family record. Already the family has been well advanced in that direction. Mindful of system, the names are run alphabetically. There is Albert, Bethel, Corrine, Dixie and Elnora. A child artist is promised for each letter of the alphabet, Dixie, born a few weeks ago since being the latest arrival. The show is booked through S. H. Dudley's office. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE Actors Union Holds Meetings and Makes Nominations Actors Union Holds Meetings and Makes Nominations Election to Be Conducted By Mail Vote A Well Attended and Harmonious Session Complete harmony prevailed at a meeting of the Colored Actors Union held in the parlor of the Summit Hotel, this city, on Sunday afternoon, October 25. There was a large attendance and among the most active present was Manager S. H. Dudley who has been on tour for the past six weeks. The nominating committee presented a ticket for the consideration of the membership that was unanimously adopted, with the proviso that any member may substitute any other name he or she may desire for office. The election will be conducted by ballots sent out to the entire membership list of those in good standing, paid up for the year. The names submitted are for places on the board of directors. The board, according to the constitution, will then select the executive officers, elect its manager and the latter will designate the deputies. A number of the directors who functioned since the beginning of the organization have had their names replaced, with reluctance, by the committee in the interest of advancing the work of the Union, which has been much handicapped by the inability of the directors to assemble as readily as the business of the Union has required. Under the new management, at least five of the officials who have been designated by the nominating committee are men whose business and other activities permit of their remaining in Washington or to make frequent trips into the city. This will make possible more executive sessions and better attention to the affairs of the Union than has been possible heretofore, and, the organization has grown to the stage where its business can not afford to be postponed, or handled by fewer than a quorum of the board of directors. The body of members readily saw the force of the argument and promptly recorded their approval of the action of the committee. Notice was authorized so that the membership would all be qualified to vote that ballots would only be sent to members of record November 15. The ballots must be returned before midnight of December 31. They will be opened in an open meeting on New Year's or the first meeting thereafter. The officials selected will take office at the end of the fiscal year in February. The slate as presented names: Boots Hope, Jules McGarr, Eugene Hooten, Wesley Wilson, Bart Kennett, Telfair Washington, Henri Bowman, Sammy Graham, S. H. Warbington, S. H. Dudley and J. A. Jackson. A president will be selected from among these after their election as directors. The meeting was called together by Boots Hope, vice-president, with Telfair Washington, secretary; Chief Deputy Bart Kennett and Treasurer S. H. Dudley in their respective stations. J. A. Jackson made a report upon the membership interest in the official organ. The Washington Tribune. Mr. Bragg, local representative of the Chicago Defender, was also present. Among the members present were Speedy Wilson, Johnnie Stephens, Miss Anna Perry, Hezekiah Jenkins, James Phillips, Fritz Darling, Bluch McClellen, Willie Morris, Wesley Wilson, Bennie Sparman, Lloyd Hollins, Garnett Warbington, Andrew Fairchild, Bethel Gibson, Beverly Broadus, John H, Jenkins, Dave "Piedmont" Gaskins, Billy McLaurin, William McConico, Helen, Wiggens Jack Wiggens, Ernest Sessions, Jim Thomas, Dorothy Jenkins, Margaret Johnson, Bessie Clemens, Quaker Fisher, John H. Mason, Baby Corrine, Little Albert Gibson, Miss Hass Smith, Freddie LaJoy, Teddy Smith Sammy Graham and several visitors whose names the reporter failed to obtain. The session was the most harmonious of many fine ones held recently and betokens a year of progress. Mr. Dudley described the conditions he found on his recent tour, and several of the members indulged in a fine discussion on the subject of allegiance with other movements, and the consensus of opinion was that the Union could function to the best interests of its members by continuing as an independent body with no entangling allinaces.

The Deacons TYPICAL BY-LAWS The national secretary has often been asked for a form of by-laws for local Corners. The national officers have hesitated to set any limitations upon the discretion of the local Corners in matters that should be regarded as strictly their own province.

Read Our Classified Ads on Page 5 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1925 N'S THEA Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Clu Florence Mills Opens at Plantation Room The Broadway Supper Club in which She Became Famous Florence Mills returns to the Plantation on Friday night. She will appear in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1925," with Will Vodrey's Colored orchestra and Johnny Dunn. The lyrics and music of "Blackbirds of 1925" has been completed by George Myers Grant Clark and Roy Tueck. Miss Mills established the basis for her tremendous personal success in the Plantation Room where the higher priced clientele is catered to by the management. It is a supper club where reservations at ten dollars per table must be made to obtain accommodations. It is the rendezvous of the after theatre patrons of the wealthier class. The show presented is expensively costumed and equipped with gorgeous stationary scienic effects. The entertainment hours begin after the theatres are out for the evening. The salary scale is high for all musicians and performers and Miss Mills' salary is way up in three figures each week. Despite this, she is plebian and democratic, and money has not in the least changed her pleasant manner. "Chocolate Dandies" Lew Payton and his Chocolate Dandies opened at the Howard Theatre, Monday night and sent a big audience away with the satisfaction of having seen the biggest fifty cents worth of show that has been offered in this town for many days. The show is a moderate-sized group presenting the slightly modified big show that Sissle and Blake.c with Payton as lead comedian, that toured the two and three dollar houses last year. The scenery is the very same that was used in the company that last season numbered over a hundred people. The race track equipment, real race horses and all. The costumes, too, were the same, albeit one or two of the boys sets bore proof of the fact being in need of a dry cleaning. The show totaling about 35 people is a fast dancing combination, has some good song numbers well rendered, and a tremendous lot of laugh provoking comedy. Make no mistake, Lew Payton, and "Onions" Jeffries are funny fellows; and some youngsters in the show are fast dancing demons for sure. The big cast has been reduced to eleven people, but that is quite enough to carry the story effectively. In the two acts of five scenes each during which sixteen numbers were offered, and the attention of the audience was held from introduction until the end of the long, though pleasantly drawn out, finale. That finale held even the blase Washingtonians who have the silly habit of rushing up from their seats in a hurry to reach the door while the supreme feature of any and all shows is being done. The radio number "Sons of Old Black Joe" and the race track scene are corking good novelties that will long be remembered by any patron of the show. Hattie King Reavis is the principal singer with Catherine Perry, a Washington girl, just recently graduated from the ranks of the amateur doing the engene work. Miss King is too well known to require comment. The youngster has promise of becoming a great artist, largely because of her personality. Andrew Copeland whose debonair manner, immaculate wardrobe and big time reputation is an asset does the male leads in a really elegant manner.

Act to Suit Management Out the Year Round GIBSON, Owner and Manager North Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. NEW YORK ITEMS Irvin C. Miller's Brown Skin Modiness than any of the previous at the Lafayette. The show is bright and snappy but rather risky in some places, bordering on the burlesque variety. A very good-looking chorus and some very pretty musical numbers and the Lafayette has done more business sthan any of the previous attempts of said producers. No doubt the show will meet with success from the box office standpoint all along the line. Chas. Johnson's Orchestra opened at Small's Paradise, 135th Street and 7th Avenue. This is a very beautiful cafe in the basement of a new office building on the Southwest corner of 135th Street and 7th Avenue. Andy and his Andirons closed their engagement at the Cameo Club. The Cameo Club is listed as one of the thirty cafes to be closed because of the violation of the Volstead Act. It is reported that Sanimy Stewart's Orchestra is to open in New York in the near future. However, this has not been verified. Duke Ellington's Washingtonians are to open at the Lido Club, one of New York's finest and most exclusive night clubs, in the near future. Johnny Hudgins is still tying them up at the Cotton Club. His comedy is refreshing and unique and each time he receives a wonderful ovation from the audience. He is one comedian who is Johnny Hudgins on the stage or off and is always the same. George Stamper is now doing the comedy at the new revue at the Club Alabam. He is making good and we wish him well. The revue is very beautiful, having wonderful music and costumes which is the work of Bunny Weldon. TUTORING "SUNSHINE SAMMY" Grace Marshall, a Washington girl with a diploma from the Miner Normal School which is accepted as a teachers' license in the District of Columbia and with the reciprocal states, has joined the staff of Joseph Morris and his big act as the tutor of "Sunshine Sammy" the star, and his juvenile partner in the act. She succeeds a young woman who came from California with the family when the vaudeville tour of the little film artist began. H. D.

Phone, Franklin 8433 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COLORED ACTORS UNION Show Folks Again Demonstrate Their Generosity Show folks have long been credited with being the most generous and humane people in the country. Every now and the nanother exhibition of the fine spirit of friendliness and helpfulness comes to notice. The latest example grew out of the illness of the mother of little Miss Inez Seeley one of the chorus girls. She was obliged to go home at once. With the practical view that show people take of such distress, the company members immediately took up a purse and the little girl went home with $39 more than she might otherwise have had. Paul Floyd, stage manager, handled the collection of the fund which was contributed to by Aurora Greely, Leila Brogden, Evelyn Kyles, Georgette Harvey, Musa Williams, Alice Gorgas, Dorothy Lawson, Lavinia Hunter, Eva Brodley, Ethel Tyler, Gladys Brown, Carrie Baltimore, Alice Morton, Mrs. I. C. Miller, Chink Collins, John Henderson, Carl Johnson, Paul Floyd, George McArthur, Clifton Jones, Gallie DeGaston, Pete Nugent, A. W. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Marks, Paul Hall and Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Lemon who have informed us of the most creditable incident. These things make fine news stories for they reflect to the lay public that finer inner phase of the show folks character that gets so little publicity as compared with the unfortunate happenings among them. London—Shark-skin leather—called shagreen is the newest vogue in London's best dressed society for handbags, cigarette cases, dressing cases and writing folios. It is replacing the Parisian fashion of using lizard and reptile skins for the same type of women's articles.
