CHILD DIES OF PTOMAINE POISON AFTER EATING CODFISH BIG CROWD TO ATTEND HOWARD-LINCOLN GAME IN PHILA. FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No. 26 CORONER'S JURY ORDERS PROBE OF CHILD'S STOMACH The death of Merilyn Virginia Reavis, two and one half years old, daughter of Chester A. and Annie M. Reavis, 1219½ Duncan Street, North west, resulted from gastro-enteritis due to causes unknown to them, a coroner's jury decided Monday. The child was taken sick last Saturday night and died about 4 o'clock Sunday morning. On Friday night, she with Ulysse L. Clyde, 4 years old, and others at the Duncan Street address had eaten canned codfish, and it was thought that her death was caused by ptomaine poisoning. The coroner ordered an examination of parts of her stomach to determine more exactly the cause of death. Motion Filed To Amend Bill in Allied Suit Attorneys George F. Parker and J. Franklin Wilson, who are representing George F. Hatton, of 1144 Nineteenth Street, Northwest, in his suit against the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation and its officers for an accounting, have filed a motion for leave to amend the original bill of complaint. In the answer filed through Attorneys James A. Cobb and George E. C. Hayes, the corporation and the officers sued, Emmett J. Scott, president, Dr. A. M. Curtis, vice-president, and John R. Hawkins, treasurer, claim that the bill is insufficient and asked for the same relief as if its insufficiency had been set up in a motion to dismiss. Attorneys Parker and Wilson seek to amend the bill to set forth more definitely the efforts of Mr. Hatton to obtain relief within the corporation, the failure of the officers of the corporation to notify the stockholders properly of the proposed dissolution, to ask fr the appointment of a receiver and to incorporate certain interrogatories. The motion to amend has been set for hearing on December 4. NEW STORE EM PLOYS HOWARD GRADUATE NEW STORE EM PLOYS HOWARD GRADUATE Moskin's Credit Clothing Co., Washington's newest credit house, located at 729 Seventh Street, Northwest, has not only set the pace for bargains, but has set a standard of employment that bids fair to establish this store in the front ranks of those who not only want Negro patronage but are willing to give the Race an economic opportunity. J. G. Fields, a graduate of Howard University, has been employed by the Moskin Company as stock keeper and special investigator. Mr. Fields is regularly employed, and by his work so far has won the praise of his employer.

The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY DIES OF P OWD TO A STRANGE BED FELLOWS IN ARMISTIGE PARADE (Preson News Service) St. Petersburg, Fla.,—The Armistice day celebration was featured here by the appearance of Negroes, Jews and Catholics along with the Klan. In the parade was the Klan organization, the Knights of Columbus, Negro school children and the Negro ex-service men. The Klansman, however, did not appear in their robes. KIP RHINELANDER ADMITS LOVE FOR WIFE ON STAND White Plains, N.Y., Nov. 18—Leonard Kip Rhinlander, who is seeking to have annulled his marriage to Alice Beatrice Jones, admitted on the witness stand before a jury in supreme court today, that his wife's body is "very dark." Mrs. Rhinlander's counsel, Lee Parsons Davis, seemed satisfied with this admission. The wealthy Rhinlander had alleged his wife d ceived him as to her color before they were secretly married on October 14. When Rhinlander was on the stand, the court room was packed to the doors. An hour before the doors were thrown open, it was necessary for attendants to establish a "dead line" ten feet from the courtroom entrance, to hold back the crowd that sought to battle their way in. Davis regarded Rhinlander grimly as he launched into his merciless cross-examination. After asking Rhinlander where he had spent the night and if he had discussed the trial with anyone besides his counsel and receiving a negative answer, Mrs. Rhinlander's attorney bluntly demanded: "What is the color of your wife's body?" Rhinlander previously had told on the stand of his pre-marital intimacies with his sweetheart. "Dark," replied Rhinlander, after fidgeting around a bit. "How dark?" Davis followed up. "Fairly dark." "How dark?" the attorney shouted. "It isn't any darker than the arms of some women I saw in Havana," Rhinelander explained. "All this time," Davis resumed, addressing Rhinelander, "you were in charge of a custodian to keep you away from Alice. Is the custodian in court?" There was a pause, and a craning of necks. The custodian was not. In response to questions, Rhinelander admitted he knew a man named who was formerly a chauffeur for his father and that he frequently drove him to Alice's home and to other places. "He knew a good deal about your love affair with Alice, didn't he?" "Yes." A short recess was announced. After the recess, Davis reverted to the letter he had previously questioned Rhinelander about. In one part of the letter Leonard asked Alice to be "nice" to him. Rhinelander denied he meant he wanted Alice to become intimate with him. "Did you mean marriage then?" Davis asked. "No." Davis, with dramatic emphasis, then read passionate excerpts having to do with brown eyes and "lips to lips." Pretty strong lead, isn't it," Davis volunteered. Kip's eyes blinked. His lips moved he did not speak. Davis read on. Kip, in the letter, spoke feelingly of the stars shining over him in Panama, and it made him happy to think the same stars were shining over Alice. "You can write a pretty good letter." Davis observed sarcastically. Kip's little eyes blinked. "What did you mean by that?" Davis asked. "Did you plan to marry the girl when you came of age?" "I had visions of it, yes," the wit- "I had visions of it, yes," the witness replied. The letter also asked Alice to stay away from parties and devote herself to him. "When did you give Alice an engagement ring? was another question. "March, 1923." "Although your father was doing everything to break up this affair, it never dawned upon you or your family that this girl had colored blood?" (Continued on Page 8) WASHINGTON, D. C.

The greatest combination of sport, amusement and entertainment presented by Negroes in America. A Gala Day Thankskiving here will surely be a gala day. Visitors are expected to begin pouring into the Quaker City as early as Monday for the festival. Thursday morning the town will take on the aspects of a large college campus with the rival colors—the Blue and White of Howard and the Orange and Blue of Lincoln—floating gaily from buildings, flying on autos and bedding the followers of each camp. Special trains from Washington, New York and Pittsburgh are scheduled to bring the crowds here. The Lincoln hosts with few exceptions will be already encamped. The Washington delegation including the Howard rabble will arrive about 11 o'clock and will be met at the station by the Howard R. O. T. C. band. Joe Maxwell's special train over the Pennsylvania Railroad will be run as usual. There will also be a students' special train over the B. and O. Railroad. Dancing After the smoke of the battle has cleared away and the grand rush for dinner is over, dancing will hold forth until the wee morning hours. The Allied Collegiate Entertainment Committee will give their seventh annual football classic reception at the Academy of Music. Ford Dabney and his Ziegfeld Frolic orchestra and several Broadway musical comedy stars have been engaged. The invited guests of honor are the How- (Continued on page 8) Through Attorney George E. C. Hayes, Mrs. Rosa Magruder, of 1017 Euclid Street, Northwest, has renewed her suit in the equity division of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for an absolute divorce. Mrs. Magruder filed a former suit against her husband, Ernest Magruder, of 500 U Street, Northwest, July 18, 1925. When a hearing on the question of temporary alimony was had, she says, her husband assured her that he was repentant of his wrong doings and desired to resume a proper marital relationship. Accordingly she had her attorney to have the suit dismissed. She now tells the court that his promises proved empty and she has never seen him since he made them in the court house. The charges in both suits are practically the same. She names Ruby Hawkins, of 1535 Tenth Street, Northwest, as the co-respondent. Mrs. Magruder charges in her bill of complaint that prior to her forced leaving of her husband, he kept company with Ruby Hawkins, who was given the alternative by her parents when they learned that Mr. Magruder was a married man, of seeing him no more or leaving home. She says that Miss Hawkins chose to leave home. The relationship between her husband and the co-respondent became Rumor That "Jazz" Byrdwill Play Doubted By Howard's Coach In a statement in the Baltimore Afro-American this week, purported to have been made by "Jazz" Byrd, former All-American star on Lincoln University's football team last year, and nemesis of Howard, stated that he would be ready to play for Lincoln next week. The following is part of the letter claimed to have been received by The Afro-American: "Although I have not played with my school this year, I am registered duly as a Lincoln student in full and good standing. I will endeavor to do my best Thanksgiving and will report to Coach Young on Monday, November 23rd. "I have watched Howard's famous defense for two games. I saw them stop Wu Fang Ward, but they still leave the holes open that I think I can find. Their defense is good in theory but they are too slow in the execution of their plays, offensively and defensively. . . ." When this statement was brought to the attention of Coach Louis L Watson of Howard University, he stated that he did not believe it was true. He said he did not see how Lincoln could, in keeping with rules of the past, use Byrd next Thursday, inasmuch as he has not attended Lincoln at all this year. In this same connection, Coach Watson was asked about the rumor that Doneghy, former Howard star would play for Howard next Thursday. Coach Watson said the rumor was untrue, that Doneghy would not play on the Blue and White team. Doneghy has not played for Howard in two years, having graduated with four full years of football to his credit in 1923. "Jazz" Byrd, graduated from Lincoln last year, although he had only played three years on the varsity team.

State 0 6; Wilberforce Univ. 0 7; Atlanta 0 so flagrant, says Mrs. Magruder, that her spouse admitted to her that they were keeping company and advised her to seek male company of her own liking, as her actions were of no concern to him. She charges that in July, 1923, her husband and the co-respondent misconducted themselves at No. 310 Q Street, Northwest, where they held themselves out as man and wife until such time as she acquainted the person in charge of these premises of the true relation in which these parties were living. As a result of the illicit relationship between her husband and the co-respondent, Mrs. Magruder claims, a child was born to the co-respondent and has been given the name of Warren. Mrs. Magruder also alleges cruelty. She charges that while she and her husband were living at 425 Elm Street, Northwest, on numerous occasions he beat and physically abused her. He so viciously assaulted her on two occasions, she declares, that it was necessary for her to obtain warrants for his arrest, but she later agreed not to prosecute by reason of his pleadings and promises not to repeat these offenses. The couple was married in Alexandria, Va., September 15, 1922, by a Reverend Truitt. They have no children. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W.

Hereafter the two organizations will meet as one body, with Harry Keegan, white, as president, and Mose Johnson, late president of the Negro longshoremen, as vice-president. DR. WEBB DIES AT FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL Dr. Elias Webb, a Howard University pharmaceutical department graduate of the class of 1917; who for the past six years has been residing in Tampa, Florida, where he owned a drug store, passed away at Freedmen's Hospital in Washington on November 15, having been brought here in the hope that treatment for heart troubles would be successful. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon and was attended by many of his former schoolmates and a large group of other sorrowing friends of the family. Though he was a member of the Tampa Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks, the family preferred a private ceremony and the fraternity as an organization did not particulate, although many of its members were present. Many beautiful floral tributes were tendered. Mrs. Webb will return to Tampa and continue for a time at least the operation of the business established by the deceased at 1325 Central Avenue of that city. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 20.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Mrs. Ruth Irene Davis, white, cashier in an exclusive restaurant, was placed on probation for a year in municipal court here, when she confessed that she not a colored bandit, had stolen $87 from the cash register. She claimed that she took the money to support her 5-year-old daughter. White Woman's Charge Gets Doctor in Pen Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 20, (By The Associated Negro Press)—Dr. W. A. Womack was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary and fined $500 by Judge Wade in the Circuit court here when found guilty of a statutory charge preferred against him by a white girl. The girl's name was not made public. FAKE RESOLUTION SENT OUT AS HAVING BEEN ENDORSED BY CONFERENCE HELD HERE FAKE RESOLUTION SENT OUT AS HAVING BEEN ENDORSED BY CONFERENCE HELD HERE NO APPOINTMENT TO HAYTI SAYS SECY. KELLOGG Secretary of State Kellog does not contemplate the appointment of a minister to Haiti so long as the American occupation continues, it was declared at the State Department this week. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University and Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W.Va., are said to be seeking the post, which is vacant by reason of the recent death of Arthur Bally-Blanchard. The State Department would give no indication as to when the American troops would be withdrawn. The Government of the United States desires to effect a withdrawal as soon as conditions permit, but it is thought that the immediate withdrawal of American forces would be the occasion for revolution and bloodshed. American forces were landed in Haiti on July 28, 1915. In 1922, Brig. Gen. John H. Russell was sent there as American High Commissioner. It is believed that he can perform all the duties of a minister until the withdrawal of the marines. The United States does not seek to acquire or control Haiti, it was explained at the State Department, and it will welcome the day when it can leave Haiti with the reasonable assurance that the Haitians will be able to maintain an independent government competent to keep order and discharge its international obligations. Negro Soldiers Commended in General Orders That the Negro continues to be a good soldier in spite of the many discouragements of the past few years is proven by the recent commendation of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry U. S. A. in General Order No. 63 by Colonel Dougherty who is in command of the regiment that has for some time been located at Fort Haucheuca, Arizona. The inspection occurred October 15, 1925. The commendation reads; The Corps Area Commander at the close of his annual review and inspection of the 25th Infantry, this date said; This regiment has just given the best infantry review I have ever seen outside of West Point. It is the best uniformed regiment I have ever seen in the United States Army. This enviable record has been made only by the team work of officers and men of the regiment. The regimental commander congratulates everyone of you and is proud to have the good fortune to be assigned to the Twenty-Fifth. By order of Col. Doughert, countersigned by John A. Klein, captain and adjutant. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS PRICE 5 CENTS CODFISH IN PHILA. LUTION SENT OUT BEEN ENDORSED ENCE HELD HERE As reprinted on the front page of last week's issue of the Tribune, a number of Negroes met in conference in Washington and drew up a set of resolutions that were presented to the President of the United States by John R. Hawkins, a local banker, who is nationally known for his church financial alliances. The resolutions and memorial to the President were drawn up by committees that had been appointed at an afternoon session held at the Mu-So-Lit Club and these reports were accepted or amended at the full session that sat around the banquet board at the New Liberty Hotel. The conference was attended by many newspaper men from throughout the country. Among those present was Claude Barnett, director of the Associated Negro Press, of Chicago. The current release of Mr. Barnett's service contains a very full account of the sessions; and in most particulars it is an accurate account of what occurred. The paragraph relating to the matter of Industrial Relations, however is either in gross error, or it is willfully made to read quite different from the report that the conferences authorized. In view of the fact that the reasons for the calling of the conference are somewhat obscure to many, even to those who attended, to say nothing of the country at large, and that it has been difficult to ascertain how the whole project was financed, there is an especial significance attached to this report which is known to be highly favorable to a certain big business that at this time is spending a great deal of money to have its policies indorsed. The original report as to Industrial Relations as submitted by the committee was not accepted by the conference and one made by Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican National Committee-elect from Atlanta, Ga., was substituted for the whole. This was unanimously adopted. Davis's substitute read: "The conference looks with alarm upon the attitude of organized labor toward colored workingmen and calls upon the Government and private capital to give colored labor a square deal and an equal opportunity in the industrial field with other working men in the struggle for meat and bread." This brief statement was substituted for a lengthy recommendation of the committee, that indorsed the Urban League in its relations with the Federation of Labor, that specifically gave indorsement to the railway brotherhoods and otherwise committed the conference to certain definite organizations in the labor world that some of the conferees hesitated to so completely indorse. Even in this no mentoroin was made of any particular employing corporation. Notwithstanding this action, the report sent out by the Associated Negro Press, which will no doubt appear in many of the Negro papers that receive the service, puts the conference on record in an entirely different way. The paragraph relating to the matter in the press release is as follows, verbatim: "Industrial Relations "Industrial relations confronting Negro workmen in America are looked on with alarm. It is recommended that the government and all private industries employing Negro workmen should give them a square deal and opportunity to that accorded all other men in all lines of industry. "The unfair attitude of many labor union organizations in America was deplored and the American Federation of Labor was urged to translate into action the resolutions passed at its annual session. Communistic forces seeking to bore within were condemned. We urge our workers to seek alliance with the large corporate interests whom they serve and rather than attempting to organize against the interest of those who control the wealth, transportation and capital of the country, urge the formation and support of the employee representation plan now being pursued by the Pullman Company, the Pennsylvania Railroad and other large employers, we urge the settlement of labor disputes in conference by emeyployes and employ- (Continued on page 8) 2 3 Es | F _A PAGE FOR WOMEN - FOR WOMEN WHO CARE FOR THE HOME Our iesson today will be one show- ing the wse of left-overs.

CARS FOR EVERY OCCASION Hail a Red Cab Anywhere No Charges for Extra Passengers PAGE TWELVE The Capital - L Appears to be the Topic Amor Pullman Organization Continues to Arouse Interest and to Grow Company Seems to be Investing Heavily in Time, Money, and Energy to Prevent Organization of Colored Employees. A Letter That Never Arrived Since the Race conference that gathered in Washington last week to memorialize the President, the idea of unions among Ngroes has become the paramount issue in many circles. This aroused interest is due to the fact that certain news releases distributed by a press service which covered the conference made it appear that the body had passed resolutions indorsing the Pullman Employee Representation plan (the company's plan). This report was based on the vicious inclusion in the resolutions of a paragraph on so-called Industrial Relations which paragraph was not in the resolutions that actually passed. This interpolation can be regarded as nothing less than a plain effort to retard the organization of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and at the same time to deceive Negro newspaper readers into believing that the men attending the conference had thus affronted the Pullman employees. As a matter of fact many of those present are in full sympathy with the porters and would have bitterly opposed and defeated any such resolution had it been proposed. In another story on another page of this paper may be found details of this bit of antagonistic strategy. While this goes on, A. Phillip Randolph, organizer of the Union has been going through the middle West with his group of enthusiastic worker. ers organizing the boys in every cen- He has taken sufficient time from the other duties of his office to issue a stinging rebuke to the Negro papers that have sold their editorial policy and opinion for the Pullman Company advertising. The Tribune carried that advertisement, as it would carry any other legitimate advertising; and, carried it without yielding one whit in its determination to assist the porters to obtain better working conditions. In his pamphlet on this matter, Mr. OUR SUCCESS MEANS YOUR SONS' AND DAUGHTERS' SUCCESS Schroock Truck Randolph quite plainly disposes of the Filipino scare; and his contentions concerning the suggested employment of those little fellows is borne out by the evidence that has come to the Tribune that the tiny brown boys have neither the inclination or the physical ability to "snatch berths"—either "up" or "down." The much touted engaging of a dozen or so of these "boys" for some spectacular trains in buffet service and on special parlor cars runs is just a mere gesture. Incidentally, those soft runs have for years been the perquisites of the old men whose vitality had long since been absorbed in creating Pullman Company dividends on the long and hard sleeping car runs. Totten Discharged and Immediately Employed in Union Service Ashley L. Totten, erstwhile chairman of the Grievance Committee of Local No. 5, of the company's organization, who was discharged from the service of the Pullman Company, for his union activities, has been put to work by the union as an assistant organizer. He is the third man to be so released from the service; and like them he has become of more value to his co-workers. Roy Lancaster and A. L. Grain are the other two. The former is the National Secretary-Treasurer and the latter a Field Representative. The length to which the Pullman Company has gone in order to thwart the efforts of the Porters to organize their own Union is evident by the fact that for the first time in the history of the company, it has deemed it necessary to advertise the affairs of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association in the public press. By this method the company hopes to buy the opinion of the Negro editors in support of the company, and in opposition to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. In doing this, the company has been forced to violate its own cherished rule and custom. On several occasions in the past, whenever duly elected representatives of the Porters made inquiries concerning the financial affairs of the P. P. B. A., these inquiries were refused by the company on the grounds that "the affairs of the P. P. B. A. did not concern the public, and if the answers were given, they would sooner or later reach the public's ear." This age-long custom seems to have gone by the board, for every Negro newspaper of consequence is being given paid "ads" about the strength and benevolence of the company and the P. P. B. A. Not alone has the company thrown overboard its long-practiced policy of secrecy about the P. P. B. A., but it is now violating the very laws governing the conduct of the Benevolent Organization. For instance, it would be well to ask who authorized the expenditure of the Porter's money for paid "ads"? The Porters or the company? If it was authorized by the Porters, then tell us where and when such authorization was given? Did the membership of the P. P. B. A. vote instructions to so expend their money? And if the company is spending these Porters' money without their consent, some of these Porters will find a way to have their monies refunded. ready arisen strife, as the Filipinos have refused to be quartered with the porters. Some runs have been transferred from the New York District and while it was because of their inability to hire men who would be without work in the spring when the winter season is over, as well as that the New York Districts which are entirely too large now to be properly managed, they try to have the men feel that it is because of the union. The porters are "wide awake" at last, and are rallying unprecedented numbers to the standard of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

KNIT Porter, Washi JUDGE AMOS SC Philadelphia, Pa., N Associated Negro Pre- literal and fraternal shocked at news of ness of Magistrate A If any further argument was needed to prove that the great body of men who make up the membership of the P. P. B. A. do not control that organization, and that the company created that body in order to "lull the men to sleep" so that it can better rob them of a living wage, and also keep them from organizing and controlling their own union, for their own protection and advancement, this is proof sufficient. The plan of the company union, known as the Employee Representation Plan, was turned down by the conductors in 1920, and through organizing a union operated by themselves, they raised their salaries from a minimum of $85.00 to $165.00 per month. The porters were forced to vote the plan by threats of holding them off their runs and in some districts their pay checks were held up until they voted. In the New York Central District, men were told last week that they would not be assigned to their runs until they voted. In the Pennsylvania Terminal, they were told that they could not go out or get an O.K. for their checks until they voted. We are also told too, that the superintendent called a large number of men down and questioned them about voting and tried to frighten them. In St. Louis the men were told if they attended the meetings of the Brotherhood or were seen talking with them, they would be immediately discharged. There are detectives following our representatives all around to keep them from talking to the porters or giving them literature. It Pittsburgh it is said the superintendent told his porters that if they attended meetings or joined the Brotherhood they would be immediately discharged. This is also true in Atlanta and New Orleans. The company has white representatives in all of the southern districts threatening the porters and having them sign up loyalty pledges. They have as a further threat replaced veterans in the service on the Club Cars of the Broadway Limited with inexperienced foreigners in spite of their agreement which includes the rights of seniority.

A Letter That Never Arrived The following is a mimeographed copy of a letter that Porters are receiving, the original of which is alleged to have been mailed to The Tribune. No such letter has ever been received at the Tribune Office. Washington, D.C., October 31, 1925 Editor, "The Washington Tribune," Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: I have been a constant reader of your paper ever since its first issue and always thought that you advocated things that would help our people. After reading your editorial, headed, "Apologies to The Pullman Company," I don't believe you know the true relation between the Porters, or our people, and The Pullman Company. The Pullman Company is the largest employer of our people of any Industrial Company in the World. In the shops at Buffalo, N.Y., Wilmington, Del., St. Louis, Mo, and Pullman. Ill. There are hundreds of colored men working as skilled mechanics under eight hour rules, getting the same pay as white men for the same kind of work and working side by side with the white man. If these shops were unionized how long do you think the "Union" would let white men work with colored men? Take the case of the Southern Railway Company's Firemen—just as soon as the "Union" got hold of them they made a contract with the Railway Company which forbade the Company from hiring another colored fireman. For your information would state that we have what is called The Employees' Representative Plan, through which we take our grievances to the Company. This plan is working wonderfully well. No office boy, messenger or petty official can insult or abuse any porter without protest. If a Porter is mistreated by a Conductor, or any officer, he has recourse through his Grievance Committee. I know nothing of any one stopping the sale of your paper at the newsstand here, but if you had anything in your paper advocating disloyalty among the Porters the Company had a perfect right to bar your paper, as you would have if some outsider came to your office and tried to cause disloyalty among your employees. I am a twenty-five year man and believe that 95 per cent. of our men are satisfied with the Company Plan of dealing with men. As I write this we are voting on our Committeemen to represent us in all our grievances. I know this much, I am too loyal to allow an outsider to come in and cause trouble, particularly when they do not state facts. I am, respectfully, J. E.

J., Nov. 20—It is said that despite the protests of her parents Miss Helen Burns, of 16 Walnut Terrace, this city, says she will marry William E. Jackson, of Montclair, who, when he obtained a marriage license in New York Wednesday, admitted that he was of Negro blood. It is claimed that he told the clerks in the marriage license office that his mother was part Negro, her father being white and her mother colored. He added, it is said, that he had always passed as white. Ruling that Jackson was a Negro, assistant crooperation counsel Tarbox, consented to the license grant. When they learned Thursday that Jackson was a Negro, Miss Burns' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burns, vigorously protested against the marriage, but their daughter was firm in her determination to marry Jackson. The girl's grandmother who lives at the Walnut Terrace address, is said to have sided with her grand-daughter and spoke of Jackson as a man of high character and declared that she was emphatically in favor of the marriage. Nothing could be learned as to the date of the proposed wedding. Scores Sheiks and Cake Eaters Miss Burns is reported to have declared that she was sick and tired of going around with cake eaters and sheiks. "They are a silly bunch of fools. Mr. Jackson is a fine man, gentleman and courteous; he thinks and talks of worthwhile things." She is quoted as saying, "I didn't want my moher to know that Mr. Jackson was a Negro, but now the fact that she does know won't stop me from marrying him."

West a retired clerk of the Southern Railway System, who was the organist and a prominent worker in the Antioch Baptist Church of Culpeper, Va., died at her home on November 18. She was seized with heart disease while rehearsing a group of children in a Thanksgiving program. She dropped from the piano stool without warning, and never recovered consciousness. Mrs. West was somewhat over fifty years of age and the mother of a fine family of five boys and a daughter, the latter, being on the faculty of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg. A son, Elliott, is a postal employee in Washington, while Roland, another son, resides in Omaha, Neb. Wylie, the third, is in California, and Harry is in New York. Beauty, the youngest, is at home with the parents. The funeral has been tentatively set for Sunday, November 22, but subject to change in an effort to permit the boys to arrive in time. Alpha Phi Alpha To Meet In Detroit Claveland, O, Nov. 20—As preliminary to the formation of plans for the 18th annual convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to be held in Detroit, Michigan, December 27 to 31, inclusive, 1925, national secretary Norman L. McGhee, of Cleveland, Ohio, has secured reduced rates over all the railroads for delegates, members, and their families, who will attend. This will be the first convention ever held in Detroit by an organization composed entirely of Negro college men. Will Represent America's Best Institutions The yearly conventions of the Alpha Phi Alpha have come to be gatherings composed of highly educated colored men, this fraternity being the oldest and largest of its kind, and its members being ranking graduates and students of America's best educational institutions. It was out of one of these conventions that the idea for the "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign came—a movement now considered as the most constructive and helpful to the general public in which a group of college men could engage. Local Plans Under Way Local Plans Under Way According to information received from Percy R. Piper, of Detroit, and chairman of the convention committee of the entertaining chapter, Gamma-Lambda, plans for the entertainment of all who attend the convention have been underway for some time and shortly announcement of the program and other arrangements will be made. National Officers Expect Large Attendance Reports from the 56 chapters to National President Raymond W. Cannon, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, indicate that the attendance at the Detroit meeting will be greater than at any of the past eighteen years. At New York City last year more than 600 delegates and members were present. Organized in 1906, Has Membership Now of 3,500 The Alpha Phi Alpha was organized by six Negro college men attending Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in January, 1906. From the mother chapter, it has spread until now it has chapters located at every outstanding university and college in the United States attended by Negro students, including such schools as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, the universities of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Pittsburgh, California, Minnesota, Illinois, Chicago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Howard, Lincoln, Wilberforce, Virginia University, Iowa University, Ohio State University, Ohio University, Indiana University, Brown University, University of Southern California, Northwestern University, Denver University, and others. The fraternity has a membership of more than 3,500. The Howard-Lincoln game will be given play for play in the Tribune next week.

Alpha Kappa Alpha, the oldest national organization of its land, had its birth at Howard during the year 1907-08, since which time forty odd chapters have been organized throughout the country. The National Basileus is Miss L. Pearl Mitchell, of Cleveland, Ohio. Of local chapters there are two: Alpha, or undergraduate chapter of Howard University, with Miss Bernice Chism as Basileus; and Xi Omega, or graduate chapter, with Mrs. Harriet B. Allen as Basileus. Xi Omega, as hostess chapter, is making elaborate plans and preparations for the entertainment of its visiting sorors during the coming Christmas season. The campus of Howard University is to be the scene of many of its festivities. A huge Christmas tree, electrically lighted will serve as a sign of greeting. The ivy-crowned chapel will open its doors for inspirational and educational meetings. There is no place more fitting for such an occasion than old H. U., where stands the first monument to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in the form of its chartered chapter house. A detailed program of the events of the Boule will follow. The purposes of holding said convention are: to pool the event and ideas of the past year, to suggest possibilities of new and better plans for the coming year, and to renew as a common denominator of inspiration, the ideal as expressed in the motto of the organization on "Not for ourselves, but for others."

THE CHISUM MEETING Last week a group of Negroes met here SUPPOSEDLY to study conditions and to devise means whereby the Negro, as a race, might enjoy better economical and political health. We were feeling somewhat jubilant over the thought that a number of our worthy and thinking men, in public and private life, were assembled in so noble a cause. Note, then, our surprise, after sifting everything, when we found that these men were made parties to a scheme to keep the Negro in a state of submissiveness and serfdom. We found that Melvin Chisum, self-styled field secretary of the Negro Press Association, who called the conference, had used the names of these sincere and trustworthy men merely to add prestige to the so-called conference. The recommendations of these honest men—recommendations which set forth definite and commendable plans for better industrial and political conditions—were not released to the press; but others more satisfactory to high finance were substituted. "We urge," says Chisum's press release, "our workers to seek alliance with the large corporate interests whom they serve. . . rather than (attempt) to organize against the interest of those who control the wealth. . . (We) urge the formation and support of the employee representation plan now being pursued by the Pullman Company." Herewith comes the suspicion that the Pullman Company is indirectly responsible for the alteration of the recommendations of the conference and the rank imposition upon honest men. Can you welcome any one—lacking in principle and selfish in actions—who would gain your confidence and sell your rights to the highest bidder? Melvin Chisum has victimized the public. THANKSGIVING In a few days we shall observe what we have set aside as a Day of Thanksgiving. The observance will be as varied as there are classes. Some will make supplication the prime factor of the day, others, frivolity and harmless amusement, and still others—the multitude—will take it as a day of rest or crime. Thankful! That is only another way of saying we are appreciative. Appreciative! Ah! No greater appreciation can be expressed than that which is manifested in our action. If we appreciate our health, happiness and prosperity, it may be exemplified in our efforts towards a greater acquisition. Work is the means to all useful ends—and this includes mental and physical, and the co-ordination of the two. If you are poor—work. If you are rich—continue to work. If you are burdened with seemingly unfair responsibilities—work. If you are happy—keep right on working. Illness makes room for doubts and fears. If disappointments come—work. If sorrow overwhelms you and the loved ones seem not true—work. If health is threatened—work. When faith falters and reason fails—just work. When dreams are shattered and hope seems dead—work. Work as if your life and happiness were in peril. They really are. No matter what ails you—work. Work mentally, physically—work with faith. Work is the best way to give thanks. It is the greatest material or ethical remedy available—the surest cure for mental and physical affliction and the most divine THANKSGIVING. The Pullman Company has a true estimate of the strength of organization; for Frank O. Lowden, big stock-owner in the Pullman company and former Governor of Illinois, recently told bankers that the farmers of this country are sadly in need of organization; that through organization, wonders have been effected, "for annual workers in other fields. . . Organization is the order of the day in banks and business companies. And there is no reason why the farmers should not organize. They have organized on the Pacific Coast and that is one reason why they are so prosperous." If organization is beneficial to bankers, business companies and farmers, by what line of reasoning is it detrimental to Pullman porters? INSUFFICIENT HOMES When we pass through the streets and see so many children, young men and women loitering around, we can not evade the questions: Why are they here? To what does their idleness lead? What and where is to be found the remedy? The cause and the remedy are to be found in the homes. We can not deny that the first and foremost responsibility rests upon the events of young persons. It is the insufficienl home—the one lacking in harmony, conceal intelligence and sympathy—which sends forth the malefactors—brides and bridegrooms. For this home lacks the moral and necessary to the welfare of its children. If not before, at the breakfast table the father disputes with his wife. She in turn, takes out her irritation upon the children, and they carry off their embittered feelings to be assuaged in the streets by the gangs of young companions who know all the situation from personal experience, and offer sympathy in full measure. And it is from these gangs, composed of boys whose homes are insufficient, that comes the professional criminal. However good our schools and colleges are, they can only refine—make into the greatest usefulness—the raw material that parents send them in their children. It is a debatable question, yet there is much evidence on the affirmative side to prove that man and woman can produce a child with the disposition they desire it to have, or a genius in the line they have selected for it. These are the men and women who have given the world those who have led it on to bigger and better things. They are the ones whose homes are sufficient—though poverty-stricken, they have built character. It is indeed hard, we admit, for a man to rise, once he has fallen; but, in rising, he proves his worth. We know that economic conditions, of themselves, are not such as to promote quietness of spirit nor mental repose. In the poor, struggling homes, there is nothing lovely, nothing secure—fear of landlords, fear of duns, deceit (because deceit is the sole refuge from instant trouble), lies, even petty theft, if life is to continue possible. It is these turbulent homes which demoralize the young and handicap them in their seeking of a successful and honorable career. Yet, it is in these very insufficient homes that an imaginary standard of perfection exists. It is in these homes that parents teach by precepts, not by examples. Politics-ridden, insincere and time-serving, utterly heterogeneous in their racial mixture and seething with mutual dislikes and distrusts, these insufficient homes do little in creating spiritual communion, and fail utterly to teach that self-respect so vital in the development of that moral sense so essential to the child in enabling it to stand on its feet, face the world, treat others as its equals and to do the right because it prefers right to wrong. Let us make our family life reflect the high ideals of this great republic. Let us cultivate the confidence of our children; create in them a greater willingness to be advised, more diffidence about entering new fields of experience.' Let us not do it so as to cause that ridicule, that harshness, which may make them brood and turn against us who have wounded their self-esteem. And finally, let us realize that parental functions are not meant for the bliss of the parent, but primarily for the welfare of the offspring. It is our duty to prepare, wisely and patiently, our child for an independent life as an individuaal and a decent, moral life as a citizen. Protests against compulsory courses in military training are becoming more numerous. Students of Howard University are not the only ones affected, nor the only ones protesting, for students at the College of the City of New York will decide the fate of compulsory military courses through a referendum. There is as much opposition, apparently, by the authorities at the New York college to the students' proposed demand as was in evidence at Howard. President Sidney E. Mezes says, in commenting on the students' action: "We look upon military science as an opportunity rather than as a mere prescription. . . The fact that the form of service the course offers is uncongenial to some students makes the service all the more real in their cases. To be willing to serve only when the service is congenial, and unwilling to serve in the only way that can be offered to the whole body of students, is in effect to be unwilling to put patriotism into acts." We shall await the outcome. As a group of men, we regret the necessity of giving publicity to scandals of any sort, but that is a personal feeling. We do not "frame" scandals, nor are we the source of them. Their cause is to be found elsewhere and their record is to be found in the courts. Any time a scandal appears in the Tribune it is taken from the records of the courts. We would be derelict in our duty should we fail to give our readers that which is of news value to them, irrespective of the party or parties concerned. We have made greater progress in everything else than we have in decreasing crime. We can not, seemingly, prevail upon ourselves to believe that we are living in a Pirate Age; that pirates no longer ride upon the seas as in days of old; to-day, they ride in automobiles. Competition and progress have necessitated increased speed. To get the needed impetus, the pirates have inserted the letter "L" between the letters "O" and "D" of the word "GOD." What is the result? Children are born in the image and likeness of (G-O-L-D) God. Once again the national administration has been memorialized by Negroes with their grievances; and again those who spoke in the name of the race have come away from the White House with the usual advice to "be patient." Our group has been functioning with a patience that even Job would envy had he not long since gone to his reward. If patience is a virtue, the American Negro has been sufficiently patient with the politicians to find his name writ large on the pages of the next edition of the Holy Bible, even as did Job. After an hour's deliberation, the jury in the Harrison W. Noel murder trial returned its verdict: guilty, in the first degree. With the wretched miscarriage of justice in the Leopold and Loeb cases before us, we can accept the Noel verdict as being as just and as true as the limitations of human justice permits. With the introduction of the forward pass, football of twenty years ago can hardly be recognized. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925 My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON My People and Other Folks By J. A. JACKSON In which we explain the modus operandi of the manner in which "My People" are hood-winked by "Other folks." We know who, where, and what was done; but we don't quite know "why." As Eddie Hunter, the famous comedian, has so often said, "How Come?" In his show the big line was, "We all want to know where the money's gone." In our show, we paraphrase the refrain to read, "We all want to know whence the money came." But, read on. There is at least a nickel's worth of news about the conference in the paragraphs that follow. Remember, though, you must not laugh aloud. About fifty Negroes of more or less national prominence met in Washington last week in response to the invitation of Melvin Chisum, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association, for the purpose, Chisum said in a speech at the banquet tendered to the group, of satisfying his ambition to have his friends about him, and to prepare and to present to the nation, through the President, the grievances of the Negro. So earnest was Mr. Chisum in his desire, that he arranged to pay the entire expenses of all of the guests in so far as the items of transportation and hotel bills, entertainment, etc., were concerned. One just could not prevail against such generosity on the part of a gentleman who was so liberal. So they came, fifty strong, from way down in Arkansas and Mississippi, from way up in Chicago, and from far off Kansas City—and from many points within and without that vast area. Mr. Chisum dismissed the mere matter of financing such an elaborate undertaking with the explanation that in his capacity as an "efficiency engineer" that he had made "quite a neat sum" during the past summer; and of course, no guest could with a becoming sense of appreciation question the propriety of the host's social ambitions or his interest in his people's welfare. One could only wonder at the fine large spirit that prompted expenditures approaching, if indeed not exceeding, five thousand dollars. Bills were paid with despatch, unhampered by any long delayed audit or checking process. One Karl Phillips, heretofore little known to fame as a Race leader, was the very capable assistant in the handling of these minor details. He is indeed an efficient worker as well as a very keen observer, as was disclosed by some of the hasty moves he diplomatically conducted during the banquet. Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago presided at the sessions and was toastmaster at the banquet. It was at the latter function that he with John R. Hawkins demonstrated the superiority of the church group in the matter of parliamentary maneuvering over the mere politician. Suavely did the Reverend Bishop put over the things he thought best, even though at times the items apparently ran counter to the prepared program. Quite a few of those present recognized the deftness with which the "monkey wrench was slipped into the machinery when the man who had paved the way for a presidential reception was side-tracked in favor of the bigger man for spokesman. Reinzi Lemus, who "comes from the common herd" and who has "nothing to do with lawyers"; but who is the elected representative of the Dining Car Employees Brotherhood, and who was just about alone among those present as a bona fide leader with an authoritative mandate from a genuine Race group, did things to the resolutions, and to the feelings of the "high brow" boys, when he launched into an explanation of industrial relations that took people's breath, and gave them first hand information of something concerning which they had hitherto only academic knowledge, and which knocked into a cocked hat in the open meeting the expected indorsement of certain capital-agents resolutions. One wonders where the "efficiency engineering" disappeared to while this was happening. However, this was adjusted at a later session when, only the trusted parts of the machine were operating and when according to the statement of the resolutions in the release of the Associated Negro Press it was found that into the resolutions there had been interpolated a resolution commending the PULLMAN COMPANY'S "REPRESENTATION PLAN." This part of the job was put over after the visit to the President had taken place and was done no doubt so that the report of the conference when released to the press might look well to its financial backers, whoever they may be; and that's the mystery [?] of it. They came; they saw; they conquered—not that you could notice—if we may be permitted to paraphrase a literary gem. Thus we sum up the results of what has been termed a "Race Conference." However, a somewhat detailed summary of occurrences will include three group pictures, one before the Mu-So-Lit Club, one in banquet formation before the festive board at the Liberty Hotel and yet another on the White House grounds after about a half hundred of our leaders, near-leaders and hope-to-be-leaders had each severally and individually, shaken hands with the President, and the Hon. John R. Hawkins had delivered to him a resume of our grievances to which the "cool" minded Mr. Coolidge had responded with a nice dissertation upon PATIENCE. This last picture, presentation and reply were all accomplished in the record time of fifteen minutes and seven seconds. That officially accepted time does not, of course, include the time-out for several "off-side" plays intended to obtain for different individuals some executive attention that could be preserved for posterity in personal collections. Those seconds are wiped from the otherwise Fraternities Mrs. Ellen Poole, Royal Supreme Grand Matron of O. E. S. A. F. O. Scottish Rite Masons, of Johnstown, Pa., and Mrs. Emma Campbell, Supreme Grand Deputy of O. E. S., of Homestead, Pa., as the house-guests of Mrs. Lucy M. Thomas of 506 You St., N. W. were royally entertained by Electa Chapter No.5, O. E. S. at the home of Mrs. Thomas. A delicious salad course was served which consisted of New England sandwitches, hot rice, salad, olives, salted almonds, hot rolls, mints. Mrs. Jennette Coper, W.

GRAND CHAPTER ANNUAL SERMON The Most Excellent Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons will attend their Annual sermon at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, on M. Street, N.W., between 15th and 16th Streets, at 8 p.m. Sunday evening, Nov. 22, Rev Charles E. Stewart, D.D., a 33rd degree member of the Masonic Fraternity will deliver the sermon. Arthur J. Smith is the Chairman of the committee in charge of the arrangements MOSS AND FRYE HOLD HONOR SPOT AT PALACE IN NEW YORK Moss and Frye, colored male duo were in the honor spot next to closing the bill at the Palace Theatre. New York, the acme of vaudeville houses of the Keith big-time circuit. Few Negro acts are ever so spotted. The Billboard critic, M. H. Shapiro says of them: "Moss and Frye have a new opening for their 'How High Is Up' offering and outside of that proceeded to prove that they are as funny a duo of Race comedians as are to be found in or out of vaudeville. Their harmony pleased despite the lateness of the hour obliging them to cut down on the laugh provoking remarks." speedy record because none of them were successfully utilized, hence should not mar the perfection of the team record. John R. Hawkins ran true to form. He declined to let the glory of addressing the President so far enthuse him as to permit of others determining what his words should be. John R. told the conference in emphatic words that he would recite what those resolutions contained, and not what any committee determined for him. Got to give him credit for his spunk and good judgement. That's why certain paragraphs were altered for press purposes after the memorial to the President had been presented. The whole proceeding took on the character of a Rodeo rather than the product of an "Engineer." Chisum sure did "round up" the gang. He assembled all the "mavericks" and quietly shipped through a harmless-sounding resolution to "go into a permanent organization" while the fellows were in that mellow mood that follows a fine meal concluded with a genuine Havann cigar. Yes, they were that sort. We know it, because like everything else, including the bunch, they were "branded." Ben, J. Davis did the "bucking bronco" on this in strong terms. To continue the cowboy atmosphere, this was just the fall "round up," a gathering of the nucleus of a new "herd" that will be wintered on the open range of the country with some faithful range riders watching over them. Next spring when congressional campaigns begin to take shape, this fattened group will be ready for the "drive to market." With the President properly embarrassed by his inability or unwillingness to rectify the many wrongs that have been presented to him by the Negro conference, and the irregulars together with the dissatisfied members of the administration organization all gathered into a compact group the presidential candidate in whose interests this work may have been achieved by whatever number of capitalists who may have enabled the urban field worker to function so grandly, will have a nicely prepared ground work laid for the "corralling" of Negro delegates and votes. This, of course, predicted upon the familiar "Now, if I had been President, I should have—etc." You, reader, understand. The big boys who have real sub stantial places in the G. O. P. manchine were conspicuous by their ab sence. Charles Anderson, Collector or Internal Revenue in New York who does his conferring in the National Conventions, was not among those present, nor was he represented by any henchmen. Bob Vann from Pittsburgh, where a leader is just a leader and not a "Race leader," stayed in the smoky town. The Philadelphia contingent was too busy with Sesqui Centennial plans to come. Woodson the astute Iowa politician was evidently at home, and so were the Columbus Ohio, fellows. Old Man Knox, Tidrington and the other Indianapolis men who make trouble in Indiana somehow did not show up; neither did Bob Jackson, Edward Wright, Louis Anderson and the Second-Third War group that controls a congressman or embarrasses a Senator at will. All of these seem not to have been expected nor to have been missed. Mitchel of West Virginia was away from Washington, too. Oh, yes, there were many absent whom one would expect to meet at a conference such as this purported to be. Evidently the G. O. P. is to have new machine submitted—one with the riders already aboard; and one that appears to have its fuel and motive power already provided. Bob Church the real state controller of Tennesse somehow was an absentee. H's presence in any politically-tangled cow owes the body strength. Polard and H. W. C. Brown, Virginia, near senator and banker, respect very seem to have been overlooked also. All things considered, though, it's a question whether the chief compliments were paid to those invited or those overlooked. What say ye? BY WELLINGTON ADAMS MRS. PELHAM APPEALS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham general secretary of the community center department of the public schools he issued an urgent appeal for musical instruments, whether in need of repairs or in good condition, to be used in building up an orchestra and for training purposes generally. Droop's musical house sent. Mrs. Pelham a letter stating a donation of sixteen musical instruments for the musically inclined patrons of the department which encouraged the secretary very much. Reader, look and see what you have to spare for this charitable cause. What you can conveniently donate please send same to Mrs. Pelham, Franklin School Building. Send it gladly since you may not have any need for it but what pleasure and real benefit it may afford others, brings the giver abundant happiness meantime. Send along some instrument for the boys and girls. Gauthier Praises Fisk Singers—But Some white Americans anuse the writer. They are thrilled at the achievements of colored Americans abroad and even associate with some of them pretending national pride but after returning home they are strangers. Eva Gauthier, speaking of the Fisk Singers in Town Hall, New York, recently has this to say: "I was fortunate enough to hear them in Paris last spring, in fact, I traveled there from London for that express purpose; there might well be a thrill of pride in the hearts of every American at the enthusiasm aroused there by the music of one group of American singers." We would ask Eva Gauthier why reach across the seas to get a thrill of pride as an American, in the singing of colored folks? Why not a thrill of pride in their achievements right here at our doors—in the castle-ridden South, the rabid growing North, the rapidly segregated growing Middle and Western sections? Why do white American artists, Eva Gauthier included, refuse to sing with or endore colored artists here at home? Why do American theatres, concert managers and kindred managements refuse to sanction the appearance of colored artists of any respectable grade whatsoever while the door of foreign halls swings wide ajaw and with wild acclaim? We say "will acclaim," and Eva Gauthier backs up A Woman's Point of View By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS WILLIAM MATTHEWS William Matthews' appointment is a disappointment at least, that is what the Negro newspapers and Curbstone Politicians say. We wonder why they are disappointed. What have they to do with Mr. Matthews' appointment? They have never selected Mr. Matthews to do anything. Mr. Matthews is not now their representative, nor was he their representative in the National Campaign. Had it been left to them, he would not have gotten into the "also" class among the campaign directors. Why do we even think that Mr. Matthews' appointment is a party reward? Nobody in the Negro race has been consulted about Mr. Matthews' ability, nor acceptability. Mr. Coolidge has been kind enough to do a personal act for a personal friend, and it seems that Mr. Matthews is satisfied. He accepted the position without comment or protest. In fact, he had no one to whom to make a protest, except the President, because he wasn't anybody's candidate for the position. The President gave Mr. Matthews a job, and if Mr. Matthews is satisfied with it, we ought to be tickled to death. Mr. Coolidge does not consider the appointment a party reward to the Negro race, because he did not consult the Negro political leaders, nor did he give Mr. Matthews a position that The Sales-person ENTREATY AND MAXIMS Sales-persons are urged to contribute articles to this column.

Systems have to be made by them—and the writer has some rather crude systems it the statement in these words: "It was not only the public that responded tremendously to their singing but the most demanding of the critics. It was the same in London and Berlin. . . What is important for us here to realize is that the demand concert at Windsor Castle and their reception all through Europe were due, . . . to the perfection of their . . . songs. New York City, as the music center of this country, must give these singers the tribute Europe has been so quick to bestow." One may judge that American whites are becoming ashamed of themselves to find such wholesome welcome to the colored singer in the King's palace in London and in stately Paris salons and theatres, while they refuse even admittance except to galleries over here. Now she asks New York to say tribute but New York is twenty-five years behind the times in her tardy tribute. If colored artists should be invited to sing in the "White House" as by command at Buckingham, why some Great (?) American would threaten to blow up the place for fear of taint! They laughed at Hayes at first over here, at Lillian Evanti, and others. Some other body is doing the laughing just now however, and it isn't the colored person either. American justice is the richest thing known in the international court of honor. Clyde Glass, pianist, recently completed a North and Middle West tour appearing in the following program: a.

The President of the United States is a very sensible man. In making appointments, he is giving each appointee the job which he thinks he is big enough to fill. He is not putting upon anybody any more than he (the President) thinks that he (the appointee) can bear. All those who are protesting and declaring that the "job ain't nothing," should stop wasting time, paper, and words talking about "nothing." Mr. Matthews' appointment and retirement are personal affairs. When Mr. Coolidge gets ready to select a Negro Republican for a position which he considers a race reward, he will confer, consult, and be advised by up-standing and out-standing Negro Republicans. That's his policy. He calls in and consults with white Republicans when he is preparing to make a party reward for that race. But why should the President call the whole Negro race into conference before sending a man out to do a little job that is ariel in its nature and devious in its meandering. It is significant that Mr. Matthews was given a place in the Department of Justice. The President doublesless, feels that Mr. Matthews is getting just (justice) what he deserves, and that is what Mr. Matthews wants. If he doesn't like his job, he is in the right department to lodge his complaint and to get justice. operation in some of our most representative firms.

Hamilton Fish Defends Negro Soldiers Last Tuesday night, Representa- tive Hmilton Fish of New York, a former Major of the “Fighting Fit teenth,” N. ¥, National Guard, that achieved fame for its valor as the B69th Infantry in the World's War, de- fended the Negro soldier with vigor in a speech delivered before the Na- tional Memorial Association at an open meeting held at John Wesley A.

Howard Eleven Noses Out Atlanta University Watson's Charges Win In Final Minutes Watson's Charges Win In Final Minutes By Louis R. Lautier Howard triumphed over Atlanta University by a 7-to-0 score last Friday afternoon in the Clark Griffith Stadium. The score came in the last minute of play when Dan Brown and made a thrilling run to the Atlanta 4-yard line. "Tick" Smith went received a pass on his 45-yard line through tackle for the touchdown and Payne drop-kicked for the extra point. Atlanta Surprises The Georgia team having been beaten by both Tuskegee and Morehouse, fans thought Howard would have a walk-away. But the thin Crimson line startled them with a stubborn defense which held the Blue and White machine scoreless until the final minute of play. The field was ankle deep in mud. After the first few plays, the players were covered with mud and it was difficult to distinquish them. On such a field the Atlantans elected to play a defensive game solely. Howard backs tried to circle ends and hit the line, but whenever the ball got into the possession of the Georgians DeLorme would kick, and notwithstanding his inability to get any distance out of his punts and the blocking of several of them, the Howard victory was staved off until the end. Howard kicked off. Atlanta was forced to kick and Dodson ran the ball back 23 yards. Brown smashed through the Crimson line for ten yards. Howard was held for downs. DeLorme punted. Dodson kicked after Ford had broken through the Howard line and threw Tyson for a loss. Atlanta kicked on the second down. Brown and Tyson hit the line for 5 yards each, making a first down. Dodson circled left end for 6 yards. Tyson gained 4 yards and Tyson two yards. Dodson hit the line for 2 yards, making it the third successive first down and putting the ball on the 14-yard line. The Crimson line held and the ball went over. DeLorme kicked. Howard was held and Dodson kicked. De Lorme kicked, and Payne returned the ball 7 yards to the 47-yard line. In the second quarter the two teams indulged in kicking, Dodson getting the better of the duel with DeLorme, Payne, did more fumbling and lost whatever advantage might have been theirs. Payne was accused of kicking Collum in the face. A pass from McLean, who was substituted for Payne, to Captain Long netted 30 yards. Brown went thru the line for 13 yards. Dodson lost the ball, Atlanta recovered it, and DeLorme kicked. Wright Intercepts Pass Wright Intercepts Pass At the beginning of the second half, Howard again kicked off. Atlanta fumbled and it was Howard's ball on the Atlanta 43-yard line. Howard began an aerial attack. A pass from McLean to Tyson netted 5 yards. McLean gained 2 yards around end Howard was penalized 5 yards for off-side. Wright intercepted a pass and made a thrilling run to the Howard 17-yard line where he was overtaken. Atlanta lost 7 yards in three downs, and DeLorme tried a placement kick for a field goal, which was blocked. The two teams then engaged in kicking for the remainder of the third quarter. Howard Scores The fourth quarter opened with the ball in Atlanta's possession on their 38-yard line. DeLoreme's punt was blocked but recovered by him for a loss of 15 yards. DeLoreme kicked again and Clay recovered the ball on the Atlanta 39-yard line. DeLoreme kicked again. Howard was held and Dodson kicked. DeLoreme and Dodson continued this kicking duel, the Atlanta generally kicking on the first down and Dodson on the third or fourth. Payne was substituted for McLean and tried a drop-kick for a field goal but missed. DeLoreme kicked to his 38-yard line. A Howard pass was grounded. Brown went out on the right end, caught a pass and carried the ball to the Atlanta 4-yard line. "Tick" S mith went through tackle for a touchdown. Payne dropp kicked for the extra point. Howard kicked off to Atlanta and the game ended, 7 to 0.

The amazing prices paid for some of the wudeveloped land in the South brings to mind the fact that Florida only cost $5,000,000 or about 62 cents an acre, while the Louisiana purchase cost about $27,000,000 or a little over 4 cents an acre. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925 THE SPORT REVIEW LOUIS R. LAUTIER, Sports Editor Will Probably See Action in the Howard Lincoln Game Sports Writers Should St. Paul Conquers St. Be True Sportsmen Augustine By L. L. Watson, Director, Department of Physical Education, Howard University This caption was never more obvious than it is today. This is a day of keen competition and it is, therefore, all the more imperative that our newspapers, which are chiefly responsible for molding public sentiment, should employ sane, intelligent minds for this important role. In too many instances the public is misinformed and prejudiced against nominally creditable institutions. To cite a case in point, the recent Howard University victory over the excellent machine from Wilberforce has come in for considerable cheap and unsportsmanlike criticism by several writers including one connected with The Chicago Defender. For the information of the public, the officials employed to handle this game were not thrust upon Wilberforce. They are all men of good reputation and known to the Wilberforce authorities. Wilberforce chose these men from a long list of officials submitted by my office as early as June anxious that our visiting teams be satisfied with the officiating of games here, and so gave each team the privilege of choosing its own officials so long as they held their choice to men in Washington, or reasonably near Washington. A writer in the Chicago Defender cannot be classed as a football critic, if his work as field judge in the recent West Virginia-Lincoln game can be taken as an indication of his ability. Mr. Young showed absolutely no knowledge of his duties as field judge as is evidenced by the fact that he was never in position at any time to assist the other official in handling the game, but, apparently, took deliberate pains to stay as far away from the spot of the play as possible. It was useless for the other officials to appeal to him for judgment in specific plays. This same writer is reported to have written an explanation of the new rules for this season in which he states that a partially blocked punt that crosses the line of scrimmage is to be played exactly as if it had gotten away clean, that is, it is the same as a loose or fumbled ball; obviously, this is absurd. Now, this type of man attempts to criticise officials of recognized efficiency. He doesn't know the rules nor the duties of officials, and yet he assays to criticise men who are in demand everywhere because of their unblemished character and accepted ability as officials. It is not my purpose to argue the merits or demurits of the ruling that occasioned this tirade of criticism, but simply to point out, in the first place, that the public is often made the goat by some totally incompetent critic who has little to offer other than brazen audacity and, in the second place, that the game among colored schools may be brought into disrepute by such unsportsmanlike writings. When officials are mutually agreeable to contesting team s, their decisions must be accepted in toto in the very best faith.

The "All Saints' Football Classic" was colorful and interesting, and a record-breaking crowd of enthusiastic spectators witnessed the fifteenth annual game between the two institutions. Though defeated, the St. Augustine's lads fought like demons from start to finish, and only the referee's final gong caused them to give up their determination to beat St. Paul. St. Augustine threatened in the second and last periods. In the second quarter, they ran back a punt to St. Paul's 28-yard line. Failing to gain on two downs, they attempted a field goal from St. Paul's 35-yard line. The kicked was rushed, his drop-kick went 20 yards and the ball was received by St. Paul on her 15-yard line. In the last three minutes of the game the Carolinians sprang a big surprise when they resorted to the forward pass. This offensive attack caught St. Paul off her guard, and in almost the twinkling of an eye St. Augustine advanced the ball to within the very shadow of the Virginians' goal line. But a final effort to score by the aerial route resulted in St. Paul's interceptance of the forward pass on her 8-yard line. Line-up and summary: St. Paul(13) St. Aug.(0) Nelson L.E.

College Falls Before Onslaught of Seasiders Hampton, Va., Nov. 14—The vanguard of A. & T.'s forces came here today, met Hampton in one of the season's decisive and brilliant clashes, and now turns back home on the small end of a 12-0 score. Samuel Scott and Elmer Baker performed the scoring assignment in the second and last quarters after the Hammers had apparently outclassed those who proved the victors, the former negotiating Hampton's only touchdown in the second period and the latter registering field goals in the final quarter.

Mr. Cooper statue the whole affair brewed from some act misunderstanding his intentions, to book a Circus with animals which would be appropriate because of the fact he was playing a circus picture, D. W. Griffith's "Sally of the Sawdust," took exceptions at this hastily and wrote Mr. Jackson of the Tribune and gave the situation an atmosphere that would lead one to believe that he was using Mr. Dudley's name in the wrong light to force acts to work at a cut salary of Mr. Dudley would furnish them cheaper. Mr. Cooper further states and brands as untrue that white acts were placed in the Howard for any other reason. OFFICE MANAGER CHANGES RESIDENCE D. Lloyd Wycks, general manager of the S. H. Dudley Booking offices, has moved his family from their former place of abode to a new residence at 715 Kenyon Street, Northwest, that he has bought for the growing family. Mr. Wycks, the genial manager, will perhaps find more comfort in the place selected for himself, and the profession will find the reflected pleasure in their contacts with him.

Eugene O'Brien, Wanda Hawley, Marc McDermott and Others in a Film Version of George Barr McCutcheon's Great Novel At theHowardTheatre The Howard Theatre provided a nice assortment of acts this week with Dr. Harmon, the glass ball gazer as the big draw, albeit he is coupled with the Mary Pickford film "Little Annie Rooney" in the billing. The white contingent thus given the preference in the billing is balanced by the presence of some good colored talent. The first three acts are Negroes that were not given any worthy advance billing. Williams and Hughes opened the show with a typical mixed team offering. They closed with the usual Charleston offering. Irving Jones, a pioneer in the profession who deserves immediate recognition wherever he may appear, for the remarkable place he occupies in the theatrical history of the Race, was next in his single. The author of "Home Ain't Nothin' Like This," "You Must Think I'm Santa Claus" and other famed melodies of our early song-writing period, made the people laugh with the antics that have pleased for nearly two score of years. Bernard and Anne, a straight man and woman team got off slowly with a medley of song choruses, largely because of poor musical arrangements and the orchestra's inability to interpret the arrangement. They picked up their prestige to some extent with the dancing. Then came Dr. Harmon with two assistants in the familiar answers to love inquiries nicely interloaded with sure fire laugh provoking "Hokum" questions and answers. J.A.J.

Special Trains Leave Thanksgiving Morn (Continued from page 1) and Lincoln football teams and the student committee. The official Lincoln-Howard reception to the teams will be held at the Third Regiment Armory, Broad and Viberton Streets, Thanksgiving night. Another reception is being staged under the auspices of Wm. Pettit, Philadelphia manager of the Interstate Tattler. The Dunbar and Standard Theatres, John T. Gibson, proprietor, are offering especially augmented programs. A number of "frat" dances and private parties will add to the gayety of the occasion. The Howard-Lincoln battle will be staged this year at Shibe Park, the home of Connie Mack's Athletics, Lehigh Avenue and Twenty-first Street. Gate crashers had too easy a time at the Philly's ballyard two years ago. For that reason it was decided to shift the scene to a more modern park with greater seating capacity and incidentally furnish milady a finer setting for the display of her fur coat. This will be the twenty-first meeting of football teams representing these two schools. They first met on the gridiron in 1894. Lincoln won that year by a score of 6 to 5. Ten years elapsed before the next meeting. In 1904 Lincoln again defeated Howard, the score being 1 to 0, and in 1905 Lincoln repeated by a 5 to 0 triumph. Their next clash was in 1907 when Lincoln won by a score of 5 to 0. The two teams then met annually until 1915. There was no game that year. In 1916 the playing of the annual game was resumed and there has been no interruption since. Of the twenty games that these two schools have played, Lincoln has won 10 and Howard 5. Five have resulted in tied scores. Howard Prospects Bright Howard Prospects Bright Howard has not tasted of victory since 1920 when her eleven crushed Lincoln by a score of 42 to 0. In 1923 Howard managed to hold Lincoln to a 6-to-6 tie. Last year Lincoln won by a score of 31 to 0. Prospects for a Howard victory this year, however, are bright. Coaches Watson and West have had better material with which to work than has been on the "hill" in many years. They have not built up a powerful scoring machine, but it is a strong defensive team. Not an opponent has crossed its goal-line this season, although West Virginia Institute, Wilberforce and Atlanta were on its schedule. There is power, weight and experience in the line. In the backfield there is speed and strength. The Lincoln team this year is an enigma. The colorful "Jazz" Byrd, whose broken field running on occasions has spelled dismay to the followers of the Blue and White, will not be seen in action this Thanksgiving. It has been "Jazz" Byrd on previous Thanksgivings who has led the Lincoln aggregation to victory or staved off defeat. Moreover the Orange and Blue eleven has played inconsistently. The light Morgan College team held them to a 7 to 7 tie. Howard, on the other hand, defeated the Baltimoreans by a 27 to 0 score. Wilberforce beat Lincoln by a 25 to 0 count. Howard was only able to get a questionable 6 to 0 victory over the Ohioans. A week after. Wilberforce had routed the Pennsylvanians, Lincoln rallied and played West Virginia Collegiate Institute to a 0-0 tie. The best that Howard could do was to hold West Virginia to a scoreless tie. Coaches Watson and West of Howard, and Young, Martin and Wood of Lincoln are pointing the two elevens for this one game. The dope is awry. Nevertheless, I pick Howard to win by two touchdowns. The "Big If" The rumor is at large that "Jazz" Byrd will don Lincoln togs on Thanksgiving. This possibility makes the outcome of the classic even more uncertain. The question is, (granting that Byrd does play), will Long and Campbell stop him as they did Wu Fang Ward?"

The Joy of a Satisfied Customer November 9, 1925 Murray Brothers, Printers, Washington, D.C. Gentlemen: The souvenir programs which you printed on the occasion of the Forty-third Anniversary of Dr. Walter H. Brooks have met the universal approval of everybody who has seen them. I wish to personally thank you for the efficient manner in which you handled the job upon so short a notice and under such adverse circumstances. WM. I. LEE, Chairman, Program Committee This is one of the many letters we receive from time to time. Murray Bros. Printers, 920 U Street, N.W. HATTHEWS WINS CASE FOR GOVERNMENT Lincoln, Nebr., Nov.—(By the associated Negro Press) William H. Matthews, special assistant to the United States Attorney General, was selected to persecute the case of two formers officers of the City National Bank of Lincoln. They were L. J. Dunn and L. B. Howey, charged in the Federal court with misapplication of the banks funds. The acceptance of their part of bad papers which the directors of the institution had to make good was included in the charges. Under the able direction of Mr. Matthews, the case was won for the government and the charges sustained. Dunn and Howey were forced to accept such fines as the court saw fit to impose. The court penalized them $2,500 each. This is the first case brought to trial by Mr. Matthews, the Negro leader in the Republican group, since his appointment as special assistant to the government's legal forces. He made a fine showing during the trial. Leaving Lincoln after the winning of his case Matthews was banquetted by a distinguished group of leaders in Omaha. Kip Rhinelander Admits Love for Wife on Stand Kip Rhinelander Admits Love for Wife on Stand (Continued from page 1) Was Not Suspicious "Well," drawled Davis, "after seeing your wife's body and seeing Mr. Jones, did any suspicions crop into your mind?" "No." "You are telling the jury that from 1921 until 1924, after seeing your wife and her family that you had no suspicion your wife ha decolored blood." "Yes." "Was your brain working?" "I attribit it was." "I think it was." "How is your eyesight—are you color blind? can you tell black from white—brown from white?" "Yes," answered Rhinelander, feebly. Davis then began reading a seventeen-page love letter which Leonard sent Alice from the Panama Canal Zone, it was dated April 24, 1922. In it was this phrase: "Set my heart at rest and will carry on, no matter how long the fight lasts." Had No Chaperones Rhinelander insisted, in reply to questions that he did not mean marriage by the fervent words contained in his Panama letter, such expressions as "My love for you has never been greater, stronger, broader, deeper," and "Good-bye, dear heart, with kisses to you and a hug." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925 Fake Resolution Sent Out as Having Been Endorsed Fake Resolution Sent Out as Having Been Endorsed ers and deplore the attempt to form radical organizations such as the American Negro Labor Congress and the proposed organization of the Pullman employees." It will be noted that the second paragraph is a curious mixture consisting of a report of what presumably occurred and of a resolution or declaration purported to have been agreed to, beginning with the words, "We urge," etc. When this was showed to Reinzi Lemus, President of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, who was a member of the particular committee, he became very indignant, and at once dictated the following statement with an offer to put it into affidavit form. November, 16, 1925 "The Committee on Industrial Relations of the recent conference called by Melvin Chisum, of which Karl Philips, Conciliator, U. S. Labor Department, was chaiman and Chales E. Hall, Census Bureau, Rienzi B. Lemus, President, Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, and Dr. Jarves Bowens, Director Hygiene and Welfare, American Chain Company, Norfolk, were members, recommended that the conferences endorse the work of the National Urban League in successfully impressing the American Federation of Labor with the necessity of giving the Negro a man's chance in organized labor ranks, and thanked the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen for the moral support always given Negroes in railroad dining car service, members of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, in getting better working conditions and reasonable wages. "The report was vigorously condemned and both the Federation of Labor and Urban League discredited. I defended the committee report and the National Urban League. When I concluded, the Hon. Benjamin Jefferson Davis who, only two weeks ago, upheld in a masterly editorial the Negro laborers' right and duty to organize, submitted a resolution to substitute for the committee report. Mr. Davis's resolution, which neither was condemnatory nor praiseworthy, was adopted as the report of the Committee on Industrial Relations by the conferees in open meeting at the New Liberty Hotel, Thursday evening, November 12th. "Mr. Davis's' Committee report did not include the name of an individual or corporation; and if such report contains such names or any resolution specifies persons, names or groups, it was adopted subsequent to the meeting with President Coolidge and when many of confeeers had left. (Signed) RIENZI B. LEMUS." The meeting with the President, to which Mr. Lemus refers, took place about noon on the day following the conference session and banquet at the New Liberty Hotel the night before, at which session all reports were received and acted upon and the business of the conference supposedly completed. Any action that may have taken place subsequent to the banquet session could represent only those taking part in it, but could not by any stretch of truth be regarded as the action of the conference. A confirmation of the Ben Davis resolution was obtained by wire from Mr. Davis when it was found too difficult to obtain a view of the minutes of the now scattered conference. In addition to these men's testimony, it may be added that the Tribune was represented at all times in the conferences by from one to four of its editorial staff: the president, the managing editor, the executive editor and the sporting editor all being present when the resolutions were passed at the dinner table with Bishop A. J. Carey presiding. Just why this altered report has been sent broadcast to the waiting public by a service whose head sat, not only in the full sessions, but was one of the select few who was apparently in every committee conference, formal or otherwise, is rather hard to determine. It is not difficult to feel, however, a surge of indignation at the rank imposition upon Negro journalism and upon the millions of Negro readers who depend upon such press releases for their information of what the Race is doing or trying to do. Nor can one avoid feeling a sense of sympathy for the many fine upstanding leaders who lent their time and the value of their names to the conference in good faith, sincerely believing that in so doing they were serving their people. These men have been imposed upon, and for some sinister reason have been made to appear to have sanctioned something of which they were in total ignorance. And now the questions arise: Who bought and paid for this delivery of the NEGRO PRESS? What funds paid for this rank imposition upon honest men? and Why was it necessary to resort to broadcasting untruths about any part of the conference and the visit to the President of the country by some of its citizens? The Howard-Lincoln game will be given play for play in the Tribune next week. Unbleached muslin card tablecloths, embroidered at one end with the four sets of cards, make a nice gift for the card club entertainer. ```markdown ``` SIX PRETTY CHORISTERS who are an attractive part of the "HELLO DIXIE COMPANY" presented by Gus Smith at the Howard Theatre next week. FALL & WINTER DANCING DATES The Best Dancing Floor in the East Rhinelander Case Prompts Haywood Broun to Again Exhibit His Big Sense of Fair Play One of the big things about the Rhinelander case that is very apparent in the press stories is the depreciating manner that most of the white writers and papers have pursued with reference to the -young woman defendant. Contrary to law and the alleged practice of journalistic fairness, the papers have made every effort to condemn her in the public mind, if indeed they have not tried to prejudice the case in the very courts. Mrs. Rhinelander's education, orthography, name and every action, as well as those of her immediate family have been subject to a process of minimizing insofar as the good qualities are concerned; and the less appealing characteristics have been magnified out of all proportion. It is sad to confess, that many Negro papers have reprinted these insulting descriptions apparently without realization as to the seriousness of the offense, not only against these people; but against any and all of us. Heywood Brown the courageous columnist of the N. Y. World, an eminently fairminded man whom it is a pleasure to know and to read after, is the one Nordic writer to have taken the trouble to discipline his fellows workers. He did it publicly too in an article in his column of Sunday, November 15. We court the punishment of the copyright laws to present his broad sensible views to our readers, in full evidence that he and his publishers will forgive out of their knowledge that the expressions such as these given below are as manna to the hungry people: "Newspapers are inclined at the moment to accept the Lucy Stone principle for the first time. The young woman whose letters could not at all be printed is invariably referred to as Alice Beatrice Jones, insipite of the fact that she is undoubtedly Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander at the present time. Indeed if she were not, there would be no case in court and no opportunity to thumb over the girl's love letters and make them public. One paper went to the length of referring to the young woman as "the Jones girl," which seems to me a phrase wholly inexcusable. "In respect to the letters my sympathies are with Mrs. Rhinelander I read that many of them were 'erotic,' and this is reported with an air of pained surprise. But why shouldn't they be? Love is naturally and inevitably erotic, and these were love letters. Eros was the god of love, wasn't he? Mrs. Rhinelander may blush for her spelling if she pleases, but there is no reason why she should be ashamed of the fact that many of her letters seem unsuitable for public reading in a crowded court room Obviously, she never intended any of them for the front page. "Law is to me a curious business. Here in this Rhinelander case a comparatively simple issue has been drawn. One lawyer says that he will prove that young Rhinelander did not know until after marriage this his wife had Negro blood. The other lawyer says he can show that the young man was not deceived concerning this matter. Now, I am no lawyer, but I am blessed if I can understand just what Mrs. Rhinelander's grammar or prose style or taste in expression of ardor has to do with the point at e an attractive part of the "HELLO tre next week. at the RAY CAFE 20 U STREET, N! Ovated and Newly Neglect of Negro Citizens in Census Taking in Jacksonville Rebounds The following editorial from the Jacksonville Sentinel discloses a retribution upon a city that long ignored the Negro element of its population by incomplete census reports candid efforts to minimize the numbers and consequence of the group and in other manners ignoring its contribution to the total sum of the city's consequence the editorial: "The city officials of Jacksonville are having a recheck of the population made in order that Jacksonville may retain its place as the largest city in the State. The census collectors will call on everybody white and black. Appeals have been made to have all citizens co-operate with the census takers so that the work will be made easier and Jacksonville can have an accurate count. "When the white citizens of Jacksonville realize the large number of Negroes residing here are a part of their city, they will give them more consideration. Aid as much as possible in the census-recount." Three women are members of the Madrid, Spain council. Telephone service is now being extended to cities in Ireland that never had it. FILE MOTION TO AMEND BILL issue. I'm in favor of letting a first class copy reader (sure, there are first class copy readers) sit on the bench for the next big trial so that the legal people may learn the simple elements of curtailment." CHILDREN'S PAGE FEATURES The report in a recent issue about the use of the sawing a woman in act with the Silas Green Show would have read that the act was a art of the show with which the company has just concluded, and is not art of the new bill. We are glad to take acknowledgement of the correction. Little Claire Campbell, the Maryland chorister with the Sheftell Revue, writes to us from far away Tacoma here the local boys are raving over her's pretty company. She says home blks and others may drop a line to er at Pantage's Theater, San Francisco. Chance Oakley of Oakley and Oakley, together with George Kemp, were recent callers upon the Official Organ, and Chance while with us turned in the name of a new's agent in North Carolina arranged for some advertising, asked for information as to the Christmas special; and took away some subscription blanks. Yes, he is regular booster for the Union and's paper. Johnnie Lee Long and his Dixiana company is in the Dunbar Theatre, hiladelphia this week. He says that he is making the grade in the big houses, and gives Mr. and Mrs. Duddy credit with helping him make the standard that his show now maintains. Sledge and Sledge write from far way New Orleans to declare that the ill they have been working with is red hot one; and that Brown and Williams, Dounveer and Dounveer lappy and Redtop and H. Turner have given Lyric patrons some show for ear money. Wonder if the Dunbar Theatre, Philadelphia, was erected on the grave ard of a family of black cats, or what therin there may be on the house, lope it finally gets into the run ofick that fine property deserves. Silas Green News By Kike Gresham We opened our new show in Ozak, Ala., as usual and it was a decided hit rom start to finish. Everything new except the name. The tent was immediately turned the away, Ar. Collier, the manager, and the atroes were well pleased. The plot has to do with a magic amp to be secured by robbing the crave of King Bumga Boo. The curtain rises on the opening to the strains of "My Old Kentucky Home" and goes into very fast number, "Dixie Land," then into that celebrated song written by Sidney Easton and Jimmie Stewart, "Cast Away," led by our own J. C. Davis and featured by Jime. Ada Lockheart Booker, assisted by the entire chorus. The girls being cast away in swings instead of boats, dressed in evening blue trimmed in bright red, really make this number a real feature. "Georgia Brown" is the chorus hit of the show, it being sung by Marion Gresham. The next songs to register are as follows: "Every body Loves My Baby," Ebbie Burton; "Alabama Bound," Elmora Moore; "Fly Around," John Wilson and chorus; Song by Evelyn White in male attire. The telephone tangle is a novelty, being handled by Mme. Booker, J. C. Davis, E. Burton, E. Nelson, M. Scoot and Kike Gresham. Our next is a scene in Palm Beach, with vamps from all over the globe, featuring "Vampire Babe"-sung by Coy Herndon. We then visit Spain, this scene giving many laughs. In this scene, Miss White's dancing is unusually captivating. Then the jail scene with a drill of shovels and spades that cannot be peaten, led by Archie Blue, our alto player follows. The closing scene is a court room in which we feature Evolution. This character is being done by Johnnie Coswell, who can do the monkey to perfection. Our one is as follows: Willie Edwards and Lillian, his little daughter, who is making her first appearance upon the stage. There is no doubt that this little performer will develop soon into a praiseworthy artist. Then comes Evelyn White singing the blues, namely, "Where Is My Daddy Blues," arranged by our solo cornetist, Romie Nelson. The team of Mike and Marion Gresham—all right—use your own judgment. Then came Coy and his educated hoofs. Miss Henrietta Collier is taking her vacation in Macon, Georgia, with her grandmother. "Sammy" Has Strong Unit Fine Diversity of Name Value Acts Compose Show The "Sunshine" Sammy show that began what is expected to be a thirty week tour of the South at the Dunbar Theater, Philadelphia last week is composed of a fine assemblage of acts. Jenkins and Jenkins, who have been reviewed favorably on this page; Sidney Easton's new trio, Gentleman Giles, the Congated funny fellow; Grace and Francis, two as entertaining girls as grace the boards, and Brown and Marguerite, the whirlwind dancers who have the most distinctive act in vaudeville are supporting the little film star. The show is in Norfolk this week with an engagement at the Regent Theatre, Baltimore, week of November 23rd. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL Jackson's Page of the Tribune will be expanded to provide the profession with an unusual Christmas special, the extent of which has not yet been determined. The sort of special feature stories that characterize the better type of trade journals. The issue will contain a fund of valuable information, and many facts you will want to keep for reference. It is the issue in which you will want to be mentioned, and in which your card, picture, etc., may be presented to very great advantage. Every UNION act, in fact the whole profession, should be represented in this issue that is certain to be widely read. Copies will be placed upon the library of every professional club and association in the country; and mailed to all the agents and managers. The special form for this issue will go to press December 10 and be dated December 19. For favorable positions advertising should be in, early in December. The earlier, the better. Communicate direct or through the offices of the Colored Actors Union. Dusty Murray May Be Far But He is Working in Close Harmony for the Union. Read Bob Robinson's Letter From The Strutting Along Co. Liberty Theatre, Galveston, Texas. To the Officers and Members of the C.A. H: Not losg ago I joined the Union; my purpose was and is to help raise the standard of my Sister and Brother Artists, also bring about a clearer understanding between the public and performers. To that end I have not failed in asking the performer I meet if they're members of the Union. On one or two occasions I have been greeted with this answer; "The Union's no good and it's just run by a bunch of money-hunters, and I would not put money in it," etc. One fellow made such statements to me and from the looks of his attire and general deportment, I guess the Union is better off without him. However, I reasoned with him and said I was a performer, entered the profession because I felt I had the ability and was in it to get all I could out of it. Since that was the case I must connect myself with every organization that stood for the promotion of the profession. So I joined the Union and would remain a member until fragments withered away; regardless of what any one says, I must learn for myself. I'm saying this to let you know that I am immoveable when it comes to being influenced by statements of a few ignorant persons who cannot see any further than their nose, and if some one was giving away progress and success and would happen to ask them what things they desired along those lines, they would hurriedly say, "Oh! don't mind me, I'm satisfied with what I got." It is my hope that every member of the Union will pull, and pull hard for it. I showed the Theatrical Guide to a manager of a certain theatre I played not long ago and he was just carried away with it. He commented upon its general value and said it was the work of an artist, and that it took time and cost to get out a book of that sort. Now if a manager who is not a member of our race can see that much good in the publication of our guide, we as race performers ought to see in it the firm foundation upon which the castle of our success shall be reared. There is much work ahead for us all. Speak of our Union and do not be discouraged. Yours, a worker, BOB ROBINSON. Dusty Murray's Struttig Along Co. Port Arthur, Tex., next week. Paul Robeson Offered Role In New Play Paul Robeson Offered Role In New Play Paul Robeson upon his return from London where he is doing "Emperor Jones" will probably appear in a play called "George W. J. Cotton," from the pen of a new playwright, Mayer Portner. The Negro actor took the script with him to London in the hope that he might try the play in special matinees. Since it is a story of an American prizefighter, a combination of Harry Wills and the late Bill Brennan, it was probably not considered suitable for English tastes. The plot takes the hero from the river docks to a position of world's heavyweight champion. Later he becomes proprietor of a night club and consumes overlarge quantities of his own liquor. Mr. Robeson has had negotiations with the Greenwich Village Theatre group regarding production of the play. It was with this group, when they were still in combination with the Provincetown, that Mr. Robeson played "Emperor Jones" and "All God's Chillum Got Wings." W.R. Such is a news story published by The Washington Tribune News of Theaters, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements The Deacons The deacons saxophone quartette on the Silas Greene show are doing their act before a special drop that was painted for them by J. Rooks. Cleveland Deacons report; a large membership, a waiting list of applicants, money in the treasury, and that they are having a lot of fun. Some other corners might shoot at that record. Pickett writes from New Haven to ask the travelling boys to advise him in advance of their dates in his town. He wants to turn on the official songs for some one, and he don't care much who they are so long as they know the alphabet. Gee, but it is hard to miss that Thanksgiving gathering in Columbus where the Deacons and Allah Baba Temple are collaborating in making it a day to be remembered. There will be everything from Breakfast to the midnight show for the lucky folks. Boys on the coast, or headed that way will take cognizance of the new Senior Deacon in that town of Oakland. He is a bandmaster, and knows his masonry. C. L. Banks is his name and you may find him at 1032 Willow Street, Oakland. Now. Where are the WASHINGTON DEACONS? No news from them. Mrs. "Bill" Potter Dead Word has come just as this page goes to press to the effect that Mrs. Rebecca Elliott Potter, wife of Wm. Potter the articalist of the Chicago Defender died on Monday at the home of her parents 523 East Jefferson St., Americus, Ga., where she had been taken recently in the hope that the trip home would restore her impaired health. Incidentally, it was expected that the first heir to the Potter family would be born in the native home of the expectant mother. Mrs. Potter was 27 years of age and was but little more than a bride having been married on February 6 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Young, West 182nd Street. New York City where she made her home while attending Columbia University. It was there that the young writer courted his bride; and a succession of nice little social affairs preceded the wedding, one of the smart affairs of last season. Shortly after the bride accompanied the young husband to Philadelphia, his opportunity to enter a larger field came, and they moved to Chicago where she was happy in anticipation of the future of "Bill" as he has become known to showfolks. Soon he was promoted from assistant theatrical editor to full charge of the department, and his joy at the rise was marred only by anxiety for the failing health of the wife. "Bill" has the heartfelt sympathy of "The Page," who knew both intimately, and of the profession he has been fast learning the worth of the bereft young man. Real Support To the Official Organ of the C. A. U. The following letter from Bethel Gibson, of Gibson's "Chocolate Box Reveal" tells a story of loyal and practical support to the paper that is waging the battles of the profession. It makes a nice object lesson to those who are less thoughtful. Gibson was one of the first advertisers in the Tribune, and he is satisfied with results. He is also one of the genuinely active Union members. The letter tells its own story: "Dear Mr. Jackson: Enclosed find four dollars, the amount of the bill which the Tribune sent me. If we owe any more please let me know and I will send it. You may also send me some papers so I may help to let it be known to others. Thanking you in advance, I remain yours truly." (Signed) BETHEL GIBSON. What can be added to that? SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925 Billy McClain International Showman of Other Days, Now a Physical Culture Exponent Dr. W. W. McClain, better known from coast to coast and across the waters as "Billy McClain," one time stage manager, producer and comedy star in numerous shows, is now a Doctor of Psychological Therapeutics and is one hundred per cent, for it takes just that to fill the shoes of the Old Master who has circumnavigated this globe three times and is still 1930 BILLY McCLAIN going strong. Having graduated from the Barnstormer League to the star of the original "Smart Set," he next produced the largest colored organization ever to appear on any stage, "Black America," which had a cast of 865 persons. He also wrote, produced and starred in the following plays: Down on the Swanee River; South Before the War; The Black Politician; Black Patti; Sam T. Jack's Creoles; Chanticleer, shown at Rostound's Olympic Theatre, Paris, France; John Tiller's London Pantomime, with Harry Lauder, shown at Sir Arthur Collin's Drury Lane Theatre, London, England; was also the producer of the first Cake Walk, staged at Buckingham Theatre, Louisville, Kentucky, for Whalen and Martell, August 14th, 1892; also produced the first Cake Walk in Australia, with the Orpheus McAdoo Company, at the Palace Theatre, in 1900. Dr. McClain also awarded the first colored championship belt, for the heavyweight championship between Sam Langford and Jack Thompson, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, July 4th, 1919. It was he who introduced Jack Johnson to the National Sporting Club of England in 1908. He trained Stainislaw Zbysch, Poolish wrestler, also Jack Dempsev and was second to contribute to the monument of Peter Jackson in Australia. He was the first colored man to hold the office of Health Inspector, in which office he proved his efficiency in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Tulsa World credited him with being the Mayor of Tulsa at that time. Being a natural Drugless Healer and Physical Culture expert, it has been very easy for him to make a hundred per cent showing in that line. In the last five years he has looked after the health of governors, senators, federal attorneys and important officials of large fraternities living in the best hotels, traveling in airplanes, yachts, autos and pullman sleepers. They never question his color and he certainly cannot pass for white. Billy's life work would make an interesting book. Dr. Billy, as he is called by the gentry, has two private sanitariums in Washington, containing all the latest electrical and mechanical improvements of the day for the benefit of the health of mankind One time Billy McClain's name was as well known as that of Ernest Hogan to those of us who knew the profession in its struggling days, in the days of its making and in what were the heydays of the Negro performers. It is fine to know that one of that group now reflects still further credit upon his people and his profession in another line of endeavor. Billy has become big without the need of a "chorus to back his act." He is going great as a "single" in his chosen line. For the benefit of the comparatively new comers in our world, it may be related that Billy gave the start to such folks as Sussex Sutton, the late Bob Russell and Jolly John Larkins, all of whom have had their names written large in show history.

Write or wice—Gus, Smith, manager NEW YORK ITEMS Henderson's Ten Collegians just returned from a short trip in the New England States, under the direction of C. A. Matson. Their popularity was evidenced by the wonderful crowds that credited them, especially in New Haven and Providence. This band of young musicians from Wilberforce University deserve all the consideration and commendation that the writer can give them. They work at all times to the best of their ability and deport themselves in such a manner that they are a credit to the musicians in general. There are many favorable reports regarding the above organization. The writer had an occasion to review the show at the Lafayette and again must compliment the management upon the standard of the shows that they maintain. In addition to the regular program, mention -must be made of the new orchestra which is being led by Floyd Hickman, formerly of Detroit, Mich. The band is owned by Battle-Ax. The music was well accepted by the audience and is a credit to Harlem's theatrical district. Wells and Wells, a vaudeville act of acrobats, opened the bill. There were some pleasing bits of comedy. They are about the only act of this kind that we can boast of and are ideal. Allen and Stokes with their wit and songs were well received and the violin playing of the male member of the team was very well accepted and appreciated by the audience. Their somewhat clever bits of singing and lively finish tend to make it a very entertaining act. Nettie Perry and Sheiks have a very entertaining act. Miss Perry does some creditable singing and the Sheiks really dance. Their knee drops, eccentric and time steps were far above the average. It is reported that they are slated for a long tour over the United Offices. B'way Eddies Revue, a band of seven pieces, featuring Kitty Aublanche and two dancers, closed the bill. Miss Aublanche did some creditable work vocally and a splendid strut ann dancing bit, with careful preparation, no doubt she will some day reach stardom. Special mention must be given to the drummer in the orchestra, who kept the audience at all times in a good humor. The picture, "The Gold Rush," is the same picture that was featured down town not so long ago in the best theatres and it was without a doubt a very complete and entertaining program. It is reported that Duke Ellington's Washingtonians are no longer engaged at the Lido Club. The reason was not disclosed. COLORED ACTORS UNION 1223 Seventh Street, N.W. Washington D.C.
