ARMSTRONG STUDENTS STRIKE COMPLETE WALKOUT FOLLOWS MEETING OF THE STUDENTS COUNCIL FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION ARMS COMPLETE WALK FOLLOWS ME THE STUDEN In protest against the threatened removal of Captain Arthur Newman from the post of principal of Armstrong High School, the pupils went on strike at nine o'clock Friday morning. The walkout was orderly, and the movement of the pupils from the vicinity of the building was even more quiet than is normal. At nine, it was noticed by the teachers that the students were not entering classes and the principal was so informed. He called an assembly, and after directing the pupils to go to classes after they had held a brief session of the Student Council, he turned the meeting over to the council expecting them to "Get off a little steam" and resume their work. Instead, the pupils simply, by a well understood pre-arrangement or by a spontaneous agreement, walked out of the building. When The Tribune called upon Professor Newman a half hour later, he was found with callers, members of the Parent-Teachers Association, in his office. One, Mrs. H. W. Lonesome, stated that she had called to make sure that her boy DID walk out, for she had had three children pass through that school under Professor Newman, and she wanted him to continue the instruction of this son. She was headed for the Board of Education, when last seen, "to place the responsibility where it belonged," as she put the matter. Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson could not be found in his office, but telephonic information from him later was to the effect that no disciplinary action against the pupils would be taken, but that an order for an examination would issue immediately, and children who did not take the prescribed tests would to that extent suffer in their record. Tribune Editors called upon Superintendent Ballou, and after being obliged to cool heels for nearly an hour during which time a "Star" representative was received and granted an interview, and other callers with prior rights were received, we secured recognition. Mr. Ballou, however, declined to give any information upon the subject of the strike or its cause. He referred The Tribune to Mr. Wilkinson and the board members, who he stated could talk, if they wished. While he stated that Mr. Newman had not been officially removed yet, he stated ROBT. J. NELSON MADE MANAGER OF THE EAGLE This week's issue of the Washington Eagle carries a new name on the masthead, that is new to the journalistic circles of the city; but naturally quite well known in the field. Robert J. Nelson, former publisher of the Wilmington (Del.) Advocate has been engaged by J. Finley Wilson as general manager of the Eagle. Mr. Nelson is quite an important factor in the fraternal and political circles. His wife, Alice Dunbar Nelson is equally as well known in politics and among those active in women's club work. Mr. Nelson is a native of Reading, Penna, and has many of the polished characteristics of the higher type of "Pennsylvania Dutch" whose solidity of character is credited with being the stabilizing influence in the Keystone state. He is a graduate of the Reading High School, class of many years ago he declines to tell how many. He is a member of the Masonic Fraternity, was for two terms Grandmaster of the Odd Fellows of Penna, and is a communicant in the Presbyterian church. In politics he is independent, though at one time regarded as one of the Republican stalwarts. That was until as Negro leader in Delaware, he dared to hold ideas counter to the Duport interests. Mr. Nelson is a desirable addition to the population of the city, though he advises that he will not move his home until spring; and the newspaper interest of the race will profit by his presence here. --- The Washington Tribune THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. The PUBLISHED WEEKLY ISTRO ALKOUT MEETING OF ENTS COUNCIL CITIZENSHIP FOR VIRGINISLANDERS IN HOUSE BILL A bill to provide a permanent government for the Virgin Islands was introduced in the House last Friday by Representative Davila and referred to the Committee on Insular Affairs. Under the terms of this bill the supreme executive power would be vested in the Governor of the Virgin Islands, who would be appointed by the President, and with the advice and consent of the Senate. His salary would be $8,000 a year payable by the Treasury of the United States. He would have to reside in the Virgin Islands and maintain his office in St. Thomas, which would be the capital. The bill would create the following executive departments: justice, finance, education, agriculture and labor and health. The heads of these departments—the attorney general, treasurer, commissioner of education, commissioner of agriculture and labor, and the commissioner of health—would be pointed by the governor. The loca legislative powers in the Virgin Islands would be vested in a council, consisting of thirteen members elected for a term of four years by the qualified electors of the Virgin Islands. Five members would be appointed by the governor. The local legislative powers in the Virgin Islands would be vested in a council, consisting of thirteen members elected for terms of four years by the qualified electors of the Virgin Islands. Five members would be elected from the island of St. Thomas, seven from the island of St. Croix and one from the island of St. John. No bill would become a law after its passage until it was approved by the President of the United States. The judicial power would be vested in the courts of the Virgin Islands now established. The bill also provides that all inhabitants of the Virgin Islands continue to reside there or in the United States, who were Danish subjects on January 17, 1917, and their children born subsequently, shall be deemed to be citizens of the United States unless they have elected to preserve heir citizenship in Denmark. The first part of the proposed legislation embodies a bill of rights similar to the bill of rights in the American Constitution. It also prohibits the contracting of polygamous marriages and the employment of children under 14 years in any occupation injurious to health or morals or hazardous to life or limb. Rep. Martin Madden Defends Soldiers Representative Martin B. 'Madden went to the rescue of the reputation of the Negro soldier by extending in the Congressional Record a speech entitled "The Negro—a patriot." He answered the charges of cowardice and inefficiency made against the colored soldiers in the late war by Gen'l. Robert Lee Bullard by quoting from the official records of the different units, the many praise worthy incidents and remarks of officers in charge of these soldiers, even Bullard himself, concerning the high efficiency of the slandered troops. Representative Madden sketched the service of the Negro soldier from Lexington in Revolutionary days to the recent world's war, and skillfully confounded the story of Gen. Bullard with facts as recorded in the archives of the War department. The congressman comes from a strong Negro district in Chicago, also the home of one of the regiments assailed. His speech will not injure him with his constituency, nor with the Negro at large, for he did what few congressman seemed inclined to do. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1926 Gets Five Years for 35 Cent Theft (Preston News Service) Dallas, Tex., Jan. 14—Mrs. Minnie Thomas was given five years in the penitentiary for stealing 35 cents from a white man in Indiana alley on August 17, last. The verdict was returned Tuesday afternoon by a jury in Judge F. D. Robertson's court. Attorneys Tell Court Covenant Unconstitutional Attorneys Tell Court Covenant Unconstitutional By Louis R. Lautier The Supreme Court of the United States has under consideration the question of whether or not a number of persons can execute a covenant running with the land to prevent their property from being sold, leased to, or occupied by colored persons. The case of Mrs. Irene Hand Corrigan and Mrs. Helen Curtis against John J. Buckley, which involves this question, was argued before the Supreme Court last Friday. It came to the Supreme Court on appeal from a decision of the Court of appeals of the District of Columbia, affirming a decree of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia granted an injunction restraining Mrs. Corrigan from selling and Mrs. Curtis from buying the property at No. 1719 S Street, Northwest. In June 1, 1921, 28 persons owning property on both sides of S Street, between New Hampshire Avenue and Eighteenth Street, Northwest, entered into a covenant which provided that no part of their property shall ever be used or occupied by or sold, conveyed, leased, rented, or given, to Negroes or persons of the Negro race or blood. It was also agreed that the covenant "shall run with the land and bind the respective heirs and assigns of the parties thereto for the period of 21 years." Mrs. Corrigan was one of those who signed this agreement. September 26, 1922, Mrs. Corrigan entered into a contract to sell her property to Mrs. Curtis. Neighbors of Mrs. Corrigan protested to her against carrying out the contract of sale. Mrs. Corrigan indicated that she would not refuse to sell or convey her property to Mrs. Curtis. Mr. Buckley then applied to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for an injunction to enjoin Mrs. Corrigan from selling and Mrs. Curtis from buying Disastrous Fire in Negro Town Mound Bayou, Miss., Jan. 9—Mound Bayou, Mississippi, founded by I. T. Montgomery and B. T. Green, was the scene of the most disastrous fire in its history, when the Booze Mercantile Company, the center of trade and the largest establishment in town was totally destroyed at 2 a.m. or January 9. Other businesses were destroyed in addition, including the postoffice, a braber shop, restaurant, garage and warerooms filled with large quantities of hay, coal, etc. The Booze Merchantile Company carried a large stock of clothing, dry goods, groceries, hardware and farm implements. It was partially covered by insurance and will be rebuilt. Due to the foresight of Mayor B. A. Green and the board of aldermen, in recently securing a motor driven chemical fire truck, much other business property was saved. The fire originated in the accounting department of the mercantile company in some unknown manner. All autos in the garage were saved, among which was a Beuck roadster owned by Mr. J. J. Quarles of Baltimore, Md., who is at present in Mound Bayou on business. ROLAND W. HAYES REFUSED TICKET IN PITTSBURGH (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 15—Roland Hayes, renowned tenor, with his accompanist, William Lawrence, and private secretary, R. D. Mann, were politely refused admittance to the Aldine Theatre, one of Loew's chain of theatres, when they attempted to see a performance at the theatre Friday afternoon. Mr. Hayes and his company were en-route from Baltimore to Columbus, Ohio, where Mr. Hayes gave a concert Saturday night. They stopped over in Pittsburgh Friday to spend the day with John T. Clark, executive secretary of the Pittsburgh Urban League. Mr. Hayes says that the girl at the ticket office informed them politely that it was against the policy of the theatre to sell tickets to colored people and she was exceedingly sorry. Hayes Surprised Mr. Hayes said that he was informed prior to going to the Aldine that no discrimination was shown there and he need have no fear. "Imagine my surprise and embarrassment when the lady ticket seller informed us that they did not sell tickets to Negroes," Mr. Hayes declared. "We were certainly neat in appearance and portrayed a genteel demeanor as well as spoke clear-cut English," he said. The party asked for the manager of the theatre and was informed that he was out of the city. The matter was referred to Mr. Clark of the Urban League who plans to take up the matter of race discrimination in the Aldine with the officials when they return to the city. BALTIMOREANS SEGREGATED AS HAYES SINGS Roland Hayes, it seems has become aware of a sense of Race consciousness since his experience in Washington, according to newspaper reports that appeared in the daily papers after his concert in Baltimore. Local dailies published the following concerning the Baltimore appearance: Baltimore, Md., Jan. 14—Inceded over the fact that his audience had been segregated, Roland Hayes, celebrated Negro tenor, who appeared in Washington recently refused for an hour or more to open his concert here last night. It was after nine o'clock before he began his program, and at the outset, he addressed the audience, saying that if he did not sing well they would understand why, but assuring them he would do the best he could. The management of Hayes' Baltimore concert had reserved the entire balcony for colored people, leaving the orchestra and boxes of the Lyric for whites. When he protested against the arrangement, Mrs. Kate Wilson-Greene, manager of the event, pointed out that the plans for the event were well known to him when he contracted to appear. After his first number Hayes appeared to forget his chagrin and gave an excellent concert. This explains his failure to answer telegrams sent to him prior to the Washington appearance when the Tribune tried to ascertain his views on the proposed segregation here. Evidently his opinion prior to the Washington engagement was not at all at variance with that of his promotor, Mrs. Greene. TS n Bloo re the nes to be Cana a a BENJAMIN L. GASKINS Benjamin L. Gaskins, perhaps the most able attorney whose name has been mentioned in connection with the effort to fill the place on the Municipal court bench made vacant by the death of the late Judge Robert H. Terrell, has declined all overtures from friends to obtain his permission to present his name for the place. Mr. Gaskins in an interview with the Tribune representative announced that he fully appreciated the great honor that even the mention of one's name involved; and said that he was flattered by the high opinion indicated by the volunteering of friendly intercession: but that in justice to friends and position, he firmly stated he would prefer not to be mentioned for the bench. He explained that his duty to those of business corporations of the race that junction Standard ultimore ance Co SegregationInjunction Standard Life Insur- Granted in Baltimore Co. is Sold Again NEGROES BARRED FROM LIVING IN FRANKLIN ST. BLOCK Baltimore, Md. — Baltimore has again forged to the front in the matter of segregation. On Wednesday last, Negro invasion of the 1100 block West Franklin Street was halted yesterday by an injunction issued by Judge Robert F. Santon, in Circuit Court No. 2. The injunction forbids Henry Johnson, Negro, from occupying 1107 West Franklin Street and prohibits the renting of the property to Negroes. The injunction bond was fixed at $1,000. The suit in which the injunction was issued was brought by a group of white citizens, members of the Lafayette Square Protective Association. The defendants were Fredericks I. Scott, Johnson and Mrs. Ellen J. Sheckells. Agreement Cited According to the bill of complaint, filed through John H. Hessey, attorney, the complainants are among the residents and property owners of the blocks who signed an agreement that their property should not be occupied by Negroes. Mrs. Sheckells and her husband, it was said, owned 1107 and 1129 West Franklin Street and were among the signers of the agreement. Occupied by Negro Mr. Sheckells died and his widow, it was asserted, sold the leasehold inter- ```markdown ``` OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W.

This is a consideration that enters into his decision. Several concerns that while today seem inconsequential, that some day will have tremendous influence upon the economic advance of the Race, were named as illustrations of the situation. "There are any number of colored men," said Mr. Gaskins, "fully qualified to fill this position and I hope we can unite on a candidate and thereby be more certain of retaining the position for our race. As for me, I am not a candidate either active or receptive." Standard Life Insurance Co. is Sold Again The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., with its $750,000 of surplus and $23,000,000 of insurance in force, has been purchased from the Southern Insurance Company of Tennessee by a group who have organized the Standard Life Insurance Company of Arkansas. The new ov- ced by Circuit forbids occupy- and property and was ers of the property are all white persons. They quietly organized a syndicate and immediately the option that a group of St. Louis Negroes held had expired, they made an offer that is stated to be equal to the surplus and within six days the Tennessee Insurance concern that had taken it over to protect monies advanced accepted the tender. It is stated that the general office of the Standard will remain in Atlanta: and that all executive officers, except corporate officials will be Negro, and that the entire agency force, home and branch office personnel will continue to be Negroes. est in 1107 to Helen B. Baker, who transferred it to Frederick I. Scott, on December 23 last. Mr. Scott, it was alleged, has rented the house to Johnson, who now occupies it with his family. The segregation agreement of the property owners in the block is relied on by the complainants, and Mr. Hessey, their attorney, said the Negro family would be compelled to vacate. 1. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS TRIKE in Housereme Court SOUTHERNERS CONTINUE TO BLOCK FUND The annual congressional pastime of striking appropriations for Howard University from the Interior Department appropriations bill in the House was performed Monday afternoon when Representative Butler B. Hare, Democrat, of South Carolina, made points of order against each of the items for that institution. These items, it is believed, will be restored in the Senate. Representative Hare succeeded James F. Byrnes as the representative of the second district of South Carolina in the House. While he was in the House, Byrnes was usually the maker of this order. Representative Hare made no remarks, relative to the items appropriating funds for Howard University, but insisted upon his point of order against each item that it was not authorized by law. Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan, in charge of the Interior Department appropriations bill, admitted that the points of order were valid. He asked Mr. Hare, however, not to insist upon his points of order. Hill Favors Appropriation During the discussion, in response to Representative John Philip Hill, Republican of Maryland, Representative Crampton stated that he had introduced in this Congress his bill authorizing annual Federal appropriations for Howard University. Mr. Hill expressed the hope that the measure of Mr. Crampton authorizing the appropriation will pass. In his remarks Representative Hill said that "the appropriation for Howard University stands on a different basis from other appropriations connected with the Federal encouragement of education. Federal assistance has been rendered Howard University for 40 or 50 years. The appropriation might well be contained in the District of Columbia appropriation bill. While I am against Federal Government taking over control of education in the States from State authorities, I do favor in every possible way the encouragement of education by the Federal Government in its own proper sphere." The Interior Department appropriations bill as passed by the House carries a total of $52,894 for Freedmen's Hospital. The Howard University items, which were stricken from the bill, amounted to $218,000. Senator Introduces Intermarriage Bill vacate.

First before. considering the love of man and that of woman let us take a few simple definitions as given us, first by Sir Walter Seott who says— “It is the secret sympathy The silver link, the silken tie Which heart to heart and mind. to mind | In body and in soul ean bind.” John Lyly’s~ | “A heart full of coldness, a sweet ‘full of bitterness, a pain full of pleas- antness, which maketh thoughts have eyes and hearts and ears; bred with desire, nursed with delight, weaned by jealousy, killed by dissembling, buried by. ingratitude; and this is Love.” ‘Then end up with the well known sayings— “True love is the culmination of happiness.” “Love's a thing that’s never out of season.” “Tis love that makes the world go round.” Now that love has been defined, consider the loye of woman and that of man; is it the same—why should it differ ? Marie Corelli tells us— “A woman who really loves a man weeagaverms chim, unconsciously | to herself, by the twin powers of sex and ‘instinet.. She was intended for fis help-mate to guide him in the right way by her finer forces. If she ne- glects. to cultivate these finer forces— if she tramples on her natural heri- tage, and secks to ‘best” him with his own weapons—she fails—she must fail—she deserves to fail!” ‘Then Rose Pastor Stokes says— “Some pray to marry the man thes love; My prayer will somewhat vary, I humbly pray to heaven above ‘That I love the man I marry.” And Timothy, Titcomb tells us— “A woman's heart is a very queer thing on the whole. It falls in love in the most unaccountable way, with the most unaccountable men.” ‘Then take the love of the man as Gegthe sees it— “We love a.girl for very different things than understanding.

But her understanding is not that which awakens and in- flames our passions.” Ti the last excerpt is true—then ‘what will become of the intellectual woman, the woman who defies man who thinks of him as her equal rather than her superior—read what Lillian Bell says defending the woman of understanding— “Why can’t clever women marry, and make just as good wives as the others? Why can’t a woman bend her cleverness to see that her house is ‘in order and her dinners well cooked and buttons sewed on as well as dis- cuss new books and keep pace with ‘her husband’s. intellectuality?

DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" By Naomi Strong (15) (An honorable mention essay entered in the Essay Contest held by the Emancipation Committee of Washington, D.C., January 1st, 1926.) The proclamation that was issued January first, 1863, declared all slaves free in the sections then fighting against the United States in the war of secession. At the outbreak of the war great pressure was brought to bear upon Lincoln to free all the slaves in the seceded states. He issued a five-day preliminary proclamation of warning. In this he stated that if the seceded states did not lay down their arms and return to the Union within one hundred days, namely, on January 1, 1863, he would declare all of their slaves "forever free." The above named document issued January 1, 1863, was one of the most important public documents in the history of the United States of America, ranking only below the "Declaration of Independence" and the "Constitution." Whereas on the twenty-first day of September in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred, Sixty-two the emancipation of the slaves was issued by the sixteenth president of the United State—Abraham Lincoln. In his left hand was the Proclamation and in his right a quill pen, which, on this occasion was truly mightier than any sword. The Proclamation was to this effect: "On the first day of the year Eighteen Sixty-three all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state, the people whereof in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward and 'forever free,' and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and will do acts to repress such persons or any of them in any efforts they may make for their actuated freedom." The toleration of slavery was always in Lincoln's mind as an unhappy necessity. The number of slaves emancipated by the Proclamation was taken in the census of the year 1870; it was found to be three million, one hundred twenty thousand, one hundred fifty-five. The number not affected by its provisions was about eight-hundred thirty-two thousand. THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION Contributor Not Known (An honorable mention essay entered in the Essay Contest held by the Emancipation Committee of Washington, D.C., January 1st, 1926.) In the year of 1883 the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It announced that the slaves would be declared free in all states resisting the Union on January 4, 1883. It also spoke of compensation for the slaves of loyal states. It was a warning to the South, but it only elicited jeers from that section, and on January 1st a final proclamation appeared declaring slavery abolished by military authority in all the Southern states except Tennessee and the parts of Louisiana and Virginia then held by Union arms. The Proclamation satisfied for a time radicals of the North and strengthened the cause of the Union in Europe, by showing that the war was fought to put an end to slavery. The Proclamation had no basis in the law of civil affairs, as Lincoln well knew, but he issued it under his authority as commander-in-chief of the army and navy. In the annual message December 1, 1863, Lincoln returned to the subject of compensated emancipation for the border states, and a bill of that nature to apply to Missouri passed the house and had conditional approval in the Senate but it was opposed by the Democrats, who thought the South would not be conquered. Because some of the Republicans gave it very littlekwave support the measure finally failed in the short session. When Congress met again, the Union's aspect of the war was more promising on the battle field, and Congress was less inclined to concede anything to slaveholders. They were now concerned with an amendment abolishing slavery outright. WATCH this page for the $2.50 gold cash prize, starting next week. A BOOK LIST MORE DOUBLE LETTERS Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of at least ten words, each word containing double letters, written with penile. "Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne is a very enjoyable book. The story begins in England in the year 1872, and the chief characters are Phineas Fogg, an Englishman, Passapartout, his servant and Aouda, an Indian girl, who later became Fogg's wife. This is the way that the story got its title: 'One day as Phineas Fogg was playing whist with some friends, he-read about a thief who had stolen a large sum of money and escaped with it. It was believed that detectives would have to go around the world to find the thief. Fogg's friends thought this would be too expensive and would take too much time. Fogg said, "Anyone can go around the world in eighty days." One of the friends then offered to give twenty thousand pounds to anyone who could perform such a deed. Fogg was not only very brave but was also very wealthy. He started on the trip around the world, not because he wanted the money, but because he believed he could do this wonderful thing. So he took Passepartout and started on the journey. During his travels Fogg employed every means of conveyance then known: steamers, railways, carriages, yachts, trading vessels, steigs and elephants. He met with many exciting adventures. Once while passing through India, he was imprisoned on account of and Indian girl named Aouda. He carried her off with him. He never became discouraged. After he reached London, he thought he was a day behind the time set. He sent Passpartout to bring a minister to marry him to Aouda. Passpartout found out that the day was Friday instead of Saturday. Fogg was full of joy and he went at once to the Reform Club to tell his friend that he had gone around the world in seventy-nine instead of eighty days. The friend immediately gave Fogg the twenty thousand pounds which he had promised. You should read this thrilling story, for I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

The stories it carries are very in- teresting and show a bit of praise- worthy discrimination on the part of the editors in the selection of its contents. Besides the usual short stories, drawings, verses, and essays, there A are three whole-page illustrations of three of the departments at Shaw, which give an idea of just what the joinery, domestic art, and art departments are doing. Quite a few Tribunites' and former Tribunites' names are noted among the contributors to this publication, there being a cross-word puzzle of Spanish words by our own Hildred Thomas. The "Do You Know?" column is a very good innovation. The editorial staff consists of Milton Quander, Fobola Lewis, Mildred Jefferson, George Moorman Nancy Johnson, Margaret Gamble, William Beverley and George Jackson. Miss G. Dorothy Pelham is faculty advisor, and the faculty committee is composed of Miss Julia E. Davin, William A. Baltimore, A. S. Rucker, Miss M. V. Ruby and Miss C. A. Thomas. The composition and press-work on this issue of the Review was done by the following pupils: Maurice Banks, Joshua Barnes, Ashby Blakey, Walter Brooks, Lanier Covington, Charles Hall, John Harris, Davis Hutchinson, Charles King, Gordon King, Hayward Marshall, John Payton, Francis Powell, Roseeoe Sharps and Chauncey-Williams. The folding and stitching was done by a group of girls under the direction of Miss Julia Davis. A prize story contest will soon be launched by "Childhood Education" a magazine published by the International Kindergarten Union, with headquarters at 1201 Sixteenth Street, this city. Full particulars will be given at a later date. A LITTLE THING—BUT WORTHY It need not be called to your attention that many great joys are caused by the doing of little things. To give joy to others is to cause joy to come to one's self. Every week you throw away your comic sheet. Why not keep your comic sheets and when you have saved a dozen or more, carry, send, or mail them to some "poor" children who live in the rural districts. You could send them to children's homes or give them to the poor children who may be living in your neighborhood. Your editor knows that this is a good plan, because he sends papers to a family of children in Mt. Jackson, Virginia, and those children are very grateful of the fun they get out of reading these comics. TRIBUNITES! We would like to receive pictures from the readers of the Children's Page.

A PIANO CONCERT BY COLORED YOUTH Dear Mr. Frazier; I received my tickets for the theatre and enjoyed the pictures very much. I was particularly fond of Richard Talmadge in the "Prince of Pep." I thank you. Enclosed you will find a clipping out of the Chattanooga Times. I will close wishing you a very Happy New Year. The article follows: "Several weeks ago a young colored boy walked into the stair of radio broadcasting station WDOD, asking if it were possible for him to be allowed to broadcast. Lester Cohn, the program director, questioned the boy and found him unusually intelligent, but thought nothing of it at the time. He gave his name as Charles S. Lewis, Mr. Cohn finally allowed the youth to broadcast, and to his amazement he found the boy a very fine concert pianist with unusual talent and great possibilities. . . He interested some of the most prominent Chattanooga musicians and on Monday of last week secured a hearing for him at the Cadek Conservatory of Music before Roy Lamont Smith, Hugh RiDout, Blinn Owen, Prof. Joseph O. Cadek, May Spencer Hickman and others. They were so enthusiastic over his talent that they immediately called Mrs. Morris Temple, president of the Chattanooga Music club. Mrs. Temple was likewise much impressed, and the matter was discussed fully. "It was finally decided that talent of this kind, whether white or black, should be encouraged and proper recognition should be given, especially by musical organizations. "Upon investigations it was found that young Lewis' father has been a local mail carrier for the past thirty years. The family are respected Negro residents of this community. The Negro people of this city have helped the boy through three years at Fisk university, at Nashville, where he has received most of his training. He also has been playing in an orchestra in New Jersey during the summer months in an effort to raise funds to go through a school in the winter. As soon as he graduates from Fisk university he will be given a hearing in June before the Juillard foundation fund, where he hopes to win a scholarship which will see him through the balance of his education without further assistance." I hope that this article will prove worthy of being published on our page. WILLIAM ALEXANDER RESOLUTIONS Dear Editor: I received my prize and I thank you very much for it.

For 35 years teacher, principal and supervisor in the Public Schools of the District of Columbia PAGE TWELVE What's the Ma Public Scho A Series of Articles by For 35 years teacher, principal an of the Distric Appendix "THERE IS CONFUSION" (Continued from last issue) We have said, "There is Confusion.' Let us look about a bit. A famous professor, still at the head of a great New England University, recently remarked to a group here, "It might as well be admitted that the Anglo-Saxon, and especially the American order, intends continuing the subjugation of weaker peoples and weaker nations." H. G. Wells, during a visit here several years since, in reply to several colored men, expressing confidence in the larger growth of their race, and more particularly as to the discontinuance of illegitimacy out of illicit communication, observed "I think you are much too hopeful." In "The Trend of the Race," a study of present tendencies in the biological development of civilized mankind, by S. J. Holmes, Ph.D., Professor of Zoology in the University of California, 1921, may be found matter of immediate interest respecting this aspect of the discussion. On page 261, we find, "The best opportunities for the study of mentality of a mixed race are afforded by the mulatto of the United States. Most students of the subject agree that the mulatto is considerably superior in intellect to the full-blooded Negro, however they may explain this superiority." And, on the same page, he represents Reuter as saying in "The Mulatto" "... Among the professional classes of the race the mulattoes outclass the black Negroes perhaps ten to one, and the ratio is yet higher if only men of real attainments be considered. ... In South Africa the mulattoes are on a distinctly higher cultural level than are the natives of unmixed blood. In the British West Indies the more cultural mulattoes have been formed into a middle-class group, separated from and superior to the black peasantry. In North Brazil the mixed-blood group of Portuguese, Indian and Negro ancestry are on a distinctly higher social and intellectual plane than are either the Negroes or the native Indians. . . In the Philippines the half-castes of Chinese-Moro, as well as those of Spanish-Moro, origin are well in advance intellectually, of the pure-blood natives. Every man in the Philippine group who has risen above medico-rity under the Spanish, as under the American, occupancy of the islands has been a man of bi-racial ancestry" . . Expressing the opinion that the harmonization of characters of different types cannot be told until they are combined in cross, Holmes says, on page 248 "An opinion on race mixture which is frequently appealed to is that of Prof. Agassiz who says, in speaking of the mixed population of Brazil, 'Let any one who doubts the evil of this mixture of races, and is inclined from mistaken philanthropy to break down all barriers between them, come to Brazil. He cannot deny the deterioration consequent upon the amalgamation of races, more wide spread here than in any country in the world, and which is rapidly, effacing the best qualities of the white man, the negro, and the Indian, leaving mongrel, nondescript type, deficient in physical and mental energy." On page 249 of this book, Holmes quotes Schultz, "Race or Mongrel." The degeneration in reru is ever greater and has been more rapid than in the other South American countries. . . All kinds of cross breeds infest the land. The result is incredible rottenness. . . In all the great South American melting pot and also in Mexico and Central America we meet with just the same situation. Greeks, Romans, Hindoos, Egyptians and Lombards have all been destroyed by the admixture of foreign blood." But James Bryce, on page 250, is pointed to as stating a more judicial view of the whole situation, "No one has yet studied scientifically the results of race fusion. History throws little light on the subject because wherever there has been a mixture of races there have been concomitant circumstances influencing the people who are the product of the mixture which have made it hard to determine whether the deterioration (or improvement) is due to this or some other cause." Somewhat by way of summarization, Holmes observes, "With the varied considerations which may prejudice opinions to say nothing of the differences presented by the observed facts in different parts of the world, it is not surprising that students of race mixture should have arrived at opposed conclusions." At best, what strange incongruities! As if mephisto himself had sought to complicate the situation respecting conduct, a man may tour Austria, France or South Africa, and "conform," but, upon returning to Washington, D.C., may find his friends, mirabile dictu, expertly advised and horrified—this due to the fact that private and public life appear more nearly at one here. Naive or innocent? Again, the community of a large sized city is made up in wondrous ways. There are the undersexed; the lame and the halt, a sad evidence of the heavy hand of Time—toward which you and I are surely tending; the female, "whom Fate denied a --- housemate mate," because too supercilious or to quick to "form a fist"; those who have had their "fling"; and, there are those poor souls, so bereft of face and form, upon whom woman never did smile, either by accident or design. Without the milk of human kindness and charity, these are they, weary pilgrims, who strike with awful verbal lash the derelictions of poor mankind; and not the normal everyday sinner, quite willing to admit his own imperfections, the while helping the other fellow to get up and to keep up, as he trudges along. "There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us." Speaking qualifiedly, of course, if you want to realize what an ordeal the smallpox patient has to undergo, contract the disease yourself; the implication being, negatively, that those classified among the sub- or abnormal abovementioned, are utterly unable to understand what pure grit and stamina it takes for the oversexed or the excessively temperamental to resist overwhelming temptation, or, having fallen in the silly and confusing moments of life, to get back on his feet in the midst of the jeering or unthinking, and to join right heartily in the general uplift. Lying, cheating, stealing, evil communication, and so following are among the characteristics of poor living; but honesty and fair dealing are recognized as good conduct. What matters it whether evil thought, dedeveloping into action, springs from the head, the heart or the soul; and if from that of the intelligentia rather than the ignorant, where lies the greater responsibility? Let not those, classifying themselves in but one way, think themselves too strong, lest they fall, with the house upon them, "Vice," though a "monster," "needs but to be seen," to cause many to become affrighted, but the few, flirting with it, may be captivated. After a certain public lecture, Booker Washington said, in one of those heart-to-heart talks to the group that invariably gathered around him, "I tell you, gentlemen, the Anglo-Saxon feels that HE has fought, bled and died to bring about this civilization and is therefore determined not to yield its control easily to any other race—certainly not to any of those that represent the darker races of mankind." But Booker Washington was human, and even his prophetic vision was limited. The Laws of Nature or "the mills of the gods," therefore, or by whatever description given, as has been done in other times, can grind his views, and the race it would seem upon first thought he had a right to aud, to the same fate it has wheeled others; or the Hand of Destiny may intercede and modify. As a clean demonstration of "Vice," of this sort—lead or recall the whole poem—any thinking man knows that the complexion of the white race, through ramifying if surreptitious infusion of near-white stock of its own making, not necessarily inbreeding, has been darkened, perceptibly even in some sections of this country.* Nevertheless and notwithstanding, clear and cool head will previate that the Angle-Saxon will, because of his astuteness and diplomacy, endure beyond the reach of ordinary imagination, though more or less modified in color as indicated. For instance, do not suffer yourself to believe that the present clamor on the part of clergy-men for support of, "Foreign Missionals!" is due to a sincere desire to extend the religion of Jesus Christ; for as a matter of fact the treatment accorded the poor benighted on the older continents and the islands of the seas, as described hereinbefore, is plain evidence that the spirituality of the missioners needs to be newly defined. I am not going to make the assertion that they are more or less religious than other races; but one may venture this much, that it inclines you toward disillusionment if you had looked upon them as religious exemplars. Know then, that the Anglo-Saxons, under the guise of "missions" extension, as the most effective means for this accomplishment, plan implanting and perpetuating their own civilization. With easy grace they reconcile human lapses, as represented by constant and universal evidences of overheated "blood," with the modernist type of Christ's religion; or, in an outburst of confidence, will tell you, as they do in the South, that such diversions enable them to keep the white women of that section pure, whatever that means. Villard, addressing a public meeting here several years since, observed as to this aspect of racial considerations, "If the white women of the South must depend upon being kept pure by such means they are not worthy of it." So far as the "home" is concerned, as, negatively, a force against downlift, as, positively and more appropriately, let us hope, a force for uplift, one becomes almost stunned at recurrent publications from persons of high standing, of calm and conservative judgment, lamenting lax parental su *Swarthiness of color in San Francisco and several of the southwestern states of this country shows that Dame Nature makes "ducks and drakes" of pretended aversions. It is said that the late Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, remarked on one occasion, "Were my fortune in proportion to the number of pure-white people in the state of Louisiana, I should be poverty-strenken!" You have been advised herein as to the situation in this respect in foreign countries. pervision. Aside from this testimony, personal experiences and observations confuse one bent on catching hold of and presenting arguments for a brighter outlook. "Civilization is so complex in the present day, and the economic pressure so heavy that, however regrettable, both parents, with children grown or not, must fare forth to shop or school." A stock reply. How many of infant or child generation present must breathe Topsy's words in some distant day, as to their upbringing, "I just growed up"; and how many, under that procedure, will be able to report that they came through all right? We had almost said, "a perfectly hopeless situation," until we noticed this editorial paragraph in one of the Washington papers, Sunday issue, "Whatever else a woman may do, the highest purpose of her life always has been, is, and ever shall be, world without end, to strengthen and beautify and sanctify the home." A clarion call to duty, assuredly; but how many of the sex are emerging out of present-day instruction at home, church or school, with an apperception for such doctrine? It may be that, as the years go by, through the travail of hard experience, woman may come to realize a more appropriate function in the scheme of life, and resort again to marrying, multiplying and replenishing the earth. Even then there will yet remain a sufficient number qualified to figure otherwise in the work of the world. And again, "There's Confusion"? Do we not hear the Birth-Controllers, Psycho-Analysts, Sex-Hygienists, and more loudly the "Hinklers," injecting, "You and that Washington paper are thinking and talking in terms of fifty years ago!" In all matters of this kind assuredly "the church" is, or should be, the bulwark of strength; and yet, as everybody knows, and as preachers themselves publicly lament, the church is fast losing ground. "Eyes have they, and see not; ears, and hear not" the real cause for loss of power and standing. Does anyone suppose that if the church were instant and vigorous in opposition to tyranny in all forms; in fiercely denouncing the continued violations of The Law of the Road in an international sense and were seeking, in other church-militant ways to address itself to matters, in kind, loudly and insistently calling for attention, instead of showing such lively concern for "the loaves and the fishes," as regards personal comfort, and the like, that crowds as of yore of earnest and appealing souls would not greet ministers on the first day of each week? However crude, a parallelism occurs to us. Why is it that one store, of all stores in close proximity and engaged in the same business, endures throughout hard competition, while one after another the others go by the board? Because owner and employees of the sole survivor have found that "the best advertisement is a satisfied customer," and they have been largely governed by that objective. Nay more; conceiving the proprietor to be a person of tact and business acumen, ramified throughout with genuine interest in mankind, may it not be that an increasing number hold fast to his shop, that they have found that the substitutes that he has suggested for what they at first asked, have proved not only more nutritious but more palatable? Do you get me? I have always felt, and intend continuing to feel, that this world will hold a majority of people who prefer the things that count, wobble though they may fearfully at times. What same person, in moments of reflection and sober thought, especially if he be a parent, does not only wish for, but when brought to a realizing sense of urgent need will take off his coat and work for GOOD HOMES, GOOD SCHOOLS and GOOD CHURCHES? But let us look further and a little more definitely into the matter to which we have just been referring. Beautiful churches, with signs and symbols a-plenty, with the intelligence making genuflections and otherwise going through the motions of religious service, may be from one point of view fair to look upon, but do they make a "church," in the pious sense of the word? I am wondering if that congregational minister at Northfield from Cleveland last summer did not get right into the inside of the story of success. When I found him vigorously supporting the "institutional" church, I observed that the bishop of a certain episcopal diocese had publicly deplored that aspect of church work as being not only expensive, but diverting from piety and the spiritualities of the church. Said he in reply, "That is all well enough with churches attended by the affluential and the influential, but what, pray, am I to do for the poor middle-class girl, who having made her confession and having joined my church is left to beat her not yet overstrong wings against a wall of week-day temptations? If your beautiful cathedrals down there can accomplish it, all well and good, but I'm depending on the institutional church as a powerful aid to meet certain exigencies. Furthermore, with a twinkle in his eye, "I observe that some of our critics have no hesitation in accepting money from us for cathedral-promotion." Ask episcopal priests, who attended the convocation at New Orleans, what special feature in the speech of the Bishop of Maryland won for him the primacy of episcopal bishops and clergymen; this aside from his splendid life and record otherwise. And the end of it all is, What? That all may acquire a more ENLIGHTENED CONSCIENCE, to be governed in thought as in deed. "A morality which has value for all time and is not dependent upon custom or external fashions can arise only from a high development of the psychological functions of thinking and feeling, with the developed individual as the determiner of values, instead of general custom or some one else's opinions." And from the showing herein made, until this sort of morality arrives, you will perhaps agree with me, "There is Confusion." (To be continued) Hey Men!

The entire board of directors was re-elected and Dr.-W. G. Pearson, of North Carolina, was added to the board making a total of 24. The election was unanimously received after which the meeting adjourned until 8 p. m. The report of condition of the bank was read and it was so favorable that $3,000 additional stock was sold at this meeting, nearly every stockholder doubling his share of stock. The board was reorganized and officers elected for one year. The resources of the bank are over $410,000 which is remarkable when we consider that the Prudential opened its doors just two and a half years ago.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY FETES DEAN GEORGE WILLIAM COOK On his 71st Birthday and 51st year of Service at Howard Cook Retires from Faculty Because of long and meritorious services in Howard University, and his interest in High Commercial Education for Negro youth, the Chamber of Commerce, a student organization, feted Dean George William Cook with a Testimonial Luncheon, Thursday, January 7, 1925, in the University Cafeteria. The program consisted of a well chosen menu, after-dinner speeches, and the presentation of a Sister Letting Cup After-Dinner Speeches The after-dinner speeches were led by Mr. Britton C. Baskerville, a member of the Publicity Committee, Mr. Baskerville presented a sketch of the life of the Dean from the moment of entrance in the University to the present. Mr. J. H. Harmon, Jr., Chairman of the Publicity Committee of the Chamber, followed. Professor George W. Hines; one of the very few Negroes who holds the degree of Master of Science in Business Administration and a member of the Faculty of Howard; gave some excellent advice gained from the Life of the Dean. Prominent Guests Presented At this juncture of the program, the visiting Alumnae and guests were presented. The first being Mr. Benjamin C. Curley, class of 1912, now Comptroller of the North Carolina Life Insurance Co. Following Mr. Curley came Mr. W. K. Bell, a graduate of the School of Commerce and Finance of Howard University, who is now at the head of the Bell and Delaney Habdashery Co. of New York. The last of the visiting Alumnae was Mr. Joseph Moore, who is now stationed in the Panama Canal Zone by the United States Government. As the climax of the occasion a silver loving cup was presented to the Dean by Mr. William H. Hopkins, a member of the Chamber, Mr. Hopkins, in his speech, expressed the re- gretfulness of the students on the Dean's leaving the service of the University. The cup was a trophy of esteem and admiration representing a relation of fidelity and love on the part of the students to the retiring Dean. GEORGE JOHN EMPLOYEE O. (Preston Ne George Johnson, Response of the Dean Response of the Dean In a very heart-felt response Dean Cook expressed himself as being regretful of leaving the services of the University, but realized that the recent ruling of the Trustee Board affected him because of age. However, having been in the university fifty-one years he felt he must have been of some service and was glad to know that the students of the institution appreciated this fact if others did not. He further stated that his parting would not be so heart-felt if it were not for the fact that the department which helped develop the Negro along the lines which he needs most and in which he is weakest had been abolished. This was the School of Commerce and Finance. He finally stated that he would not rest until this wrong was righted.

PAGE SIX Carlisles Defeat Philly Flashes South Atlantic Champions Display Fine Form in Their First Game Of Season Philadelphia, Pa., January 7th—The Carlisle Club of Washington, easily took the measure of the fast Philadelphia Flashes here last Thursday evening at the Waltz Dream Casino by a score of 32-22. The game, while not very exciting, was interesting and fast. The Flashes drew first blood when Shields, the local center, made a pretty overhead shot. Their lead, however, was soon overtaken when Braddick, brilliant guard and captain of the Capital City boys made a free toss and quickly foll篮 which was quickly followed by long end of a 3-2 score, the D.C. clan was never headed. Smith, a very promising newcomer with the visitors, made a neat basket which was quickly followe by a fast shot by Everett Davis, Carlisle crafty forward. Ransome, Flashes' forward, made a field goal giving his team's total of five points. At this stage of the game, "Red" Davis, with his famous "7" entered the game at center for Carlisle. He made 2 field goals and 1 free toss in quick succession. The Flashes were finding it rather difficult to pierce the impregnable defense of the champs. They very seldom succeeded in passing the center of th court and when they did their passing was completely broken up by the Carlisle defense. "Red" Davis was a thorn in the side of the local boys. His speed and accurate shooting were uncanny. The home boys inserted "Chick" Edwards into their line-up and they seemed to have a little more punch. They scored seven points in rapid succession and came within 7 points of the leaders. But "Mike" Jones, rangy Carlisle guard found the net for a 2 pointer while Blue, who had been inserted into the champs' line-up, cut the cards for a pair of 2 pointers. The score at half time was 12 to 5 for the Capital City boys. "Red" Davis led the crowd with six field goals while Shields of the Flashes was next with four. Everett Davis, Braddick and Blue of the Carlisles had 2 each, also Rausone of the locals. The game was cleanly contested and indicative of good sportsmanship. Mr. Rich, of the Wissahickon Club officiated in a very commendable manner. The line-up: Carlisles Flashes Smith Foward Ransone E. Davis Foward R. Davis W. Davis Ceter Sheilds Braddick Guard Layston Jones Guard Graves Substitutions: Ed. Davis for Wm Davis; Blue for Smith; Keenan for Jones; Flashes: Crawford for Ransone; Edwards for Laystone.

FIGHTER KILLS SPARRING PARTNER New Orleans, Jan. 12—While sparring with Clayton (Big Boy) Peterson, well known boxer who is to appear in a bout tonight, Preston (Prince) Brown, boxer, was felled by a blow on the jaw late yesterday and died early today in a hospital. He sustained a fractured skull and concussion of the brain when his head forcibly struck the floor of Miles gymnasium. Brown did not regain consciousness. Peterson, who is scheduled to box Tim O'Neil tonight, is a Mississippian weighing about 200 pounds. Brown weighed about 225 pounds. Both men were Negroes. All Eastern League Officials Retained for 1926 All East HAVANA, CUBA, SELECTED AS RENDEZVOUS FOR NEXT JOINT SESSION Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 9—The second annual three day confab between league owners and managers of both the National and Eastern Colored Baseball leagues, successfully touched a climax on January 8th. The joint session was made conspicuous by the pronounced tranquility, accord and desire for co-operation which reigned among hitherto warring factions of both the Junior and Senior circuits. The western men in attendance were Andrew Rube Foster, representing the American Giants of Chicago and the Western Cubans; J. L. Wilkinson and Quincy J. Gilmore, Kansas City Monorachs; Dr. B. G. Keys and L. A. Brown, St. Louis Stars; L. B. Derrick, Detroit Stars, and Warner Jewel, Indianapolis A. B. C. The eastern magnates in attendance were Charles B. Johnson, Bacharach Giants; Nat C. Strong, Brooklyn Royal Giants; James J. Keenan, Lincoln Giants; Alexandro Pompez, Cuban Stars; C.W. Strothers, Harrisburg Giants; Charles P. Spedden, Baltimore Black Sox, and Ed Bolden, Hildale. By unanimous votes, the administrating officers of both leagues were ushered into a second consecutive session. Ed Bolden, James J. Keenan, and Chas B. Spedden being re-elected president, treasurer and secretary respectively, while Andrew Rube Foster, Q. J. Gilmore and J. L. Wilkinson were elected to the same positions in the National League. Rumors that the National League would be cut to eight clubs were dispelled, and a definite statement made, that the Memphis club had been dropped, it's players being retained for the nucleus of a new contingent which will be formed by the time the coming season rolls around. Birmingham will continue in the league but under new management, Joe Bush having severed his connections with the club. Players oweing justified bills to various club owners, were ordered to pay same by July 1st, 1926. Clubs were placed at a salary limit of 3,000 dollars. As a result of the newspaper articles by Oscar Charleston, manager of the Harrisburg Giants, criticizing the conduct of the Eastern League, a rule was adopted prohibiting managers, players and subordinate employees who are not financially interested in a team, from releasing articles criticising league affairs. A former ruling prohibiting members of both leagues from playing outside clubs was amended to permit their playing against any club not harboring league players. The only deal that was put through during the convention was the sale of Pitcher Rube Currie of the Hilldale to the American Giants, for a cash consideration, no other player being involved. Havann, Cuba, winter mecca for baseball players of both leagues, was tentatively arranged upon as the 1926 meeting place. John Henry Lloyd, second baseman of the Bacharach Giants, is seeking his release in order to accept an offer to manage the Lincoln Giants. Hilltoppers Toppled by Seasiders Hampton, Va., Jan. 14—Speed as rarely seen in these parts and unprecedented passing, especially on the part of "Cutie" brown, spiced by continuous shooting of Hampton's fiveman offence, featured the game here tonight against Virginia Normal of Petersburg in which the visitors crumbled to the inharmonious tune of 48-11.

LAUTIER. Sports Editor SPORTS CHATTER Theodore "Tiger" Flowers, who will fight Harry Greb for the middleweight championship of the world in Madison Square Garden, New York City, February 26, has been here this week appearing with a musical comedy at the Howard Theatre. His act consisted of rope skipping, shadow boxing and three rounds of boxing with Bob Lawson, a light heavyweight stablemate. The presence of the "Tiger" as a challenger for the middleweight championship recalls the long and difficult trail over which he had to come to reach within a rung or two from the top of his class. From a small town boxer to a contender for a world title—from a musty theatre in Brunswick, Georgia, to Madison Square Garden, New York City—that is the distance that the "Tiger" has climbed. And it has been no easy road either. In his beginnings he had to choose the hard ones. Not even Sam Langford was excepted. The "Tiger" fought them all and whether he won or lost he gave a good account of himself in the squared arena. Flowers, in his career, has been a fine exponent of the boxing game—a credit to it. His deportment in and out of the ring has been that of a gentleman. He has been modest in victory and courageous in defeat. Even when it was apparent to the fans that the "Tiger" had won but the officials gave the decision to McTigue, Flowers proved himself a sportsman and walked over and congratulated his opponent. Compare that with the conduct of other boxers on similar occasions. Some boxing experts think that the "Tiger" has been burned out by reason of having fought too often. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen. When he steps into the ring with Greb, however, he will be inspired by the deeds of black men whose lives are interwoven with the history of prize fighting. Joe Walcott, Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans, Sam Langford, Jack Johnson, Harry Wills—surely their records will give him the inspiration to win the middleweight championship and become one of the immortals of the ring. In comparing champions, Grantland Rice, sports writer, has the following to say: "The word 'champion' can mean a number of things. Both Tilden and Dempsey are rated as champions—but the difference is as wide as a universe. "Tilden for six years has been defending his title against all comers at every given chance. "Dempsey has ducked every chance to meet anybody, holding his title safe in order to commercialize it to the final cent. "Dempsey is a champion in name only, not in fact.

Flowers Luckier than Wills in Title Quest New York, Jan. 14—"Tiger" Flowers is a luckier man than Harry Wills. The edict of the New York Boxing Commission sends him in for a chance at a title without any tom-foolery. He posted his money to fight Harry Greb and having established himself as a dangerous customer, there was no gain-saying his challenge. It was legitimate under the rules of the commission. The Tiger was luckier than Wills too in that Greb is under the jurisdiction of the New York board, while Jack Dempsey can sit on the high board fence and make all the fright faces at the New York Boxing Commission his little heart desires. That's the difference between the luck of the Tiger and the luck of Wills. When Dempsey was a member of the big New York fraternity Wills couldn't press his case because the big iron heel was on the commission itself with respect to a bout between Dempsey and Wills. Bill Muldoon, anxious to have it settled one way or another right from the start said the boys could begin the fun. They signed and might have delivered had not a mysterious THOU SHALT NOT come to the ears of Muldoon, Dempsey and Wills. Nobody has ever explained it. Muldoon didn't talk about it. It was big enough with him to keep it quiet but there wasn't any question that the DONT DARE-order went out to Muldoon from somebody higher than Muldoon. In any case it bounced right back to Muldoon and he had to withdraw his sanction of the mixed bout. They say it is O.K. now. It is doubtful if it ever will be O.K. in New York State and I doubt that Tex Richard, the man able to handle the ticklish proposition, will admit that all is O.K. It is doubtful that the members of the boxing commission will say it is O.K., though they'd love to On the surface, it's all right, perhaps, but when it comes time to tie the gloves on Demsey and Wills in this State, well, it must be done first. Over in Jersey City, great. It's America, over there. Frank Hague would see to it that all went well. Our own Governor is for the bout. You don't have to ask about our new Mayor. He gave us boxing and he's proud of the gift and what it has meant to a hobbled community. The pity of the whole business is that Dempsey is not responsible to this commission. That would settle the whole thing in short order. If he --- were under the jurisdiction of the New York Boxing Commission, then would come the grand showdown. Then we'd know where we stood with our big bouts, a mixed bout like Dempsey and Wills. That's why tiger Flowers is a lucky man. That's why he is happier than Harry Wills. He has a great chance to beat Greb. He's powerful, a hard hitter and against a man who can't hurt him much, he's a devil. Greb fought him once and didn't like the roughing around he got. In truth, there was a suspicion that Harry would forever frown on a match with Flowers but in order to be up in the chips as champion he had to be licensed here. He couldn't tell the commission to go take a run and jump at themselves as Dempsey did. He had to accept the Tiger's challenge or renounce the throne and no sane man would do that while there was a chance to hear the jingle of gold. That's why there is still hope of seeing Dempsey meet Wills. The big money shot is there and the longer it is delayed the greater the gate will be. The Dempsey situation ought to be a sound lesson to the boxing commission. NO CHAMPION should be allowed to strut around the land unless he is a licensed champion IN THIS STATE. No fighter of prominence should be allowed to stalk about and come in here when he pleases. If a boxer of renown refuses to take out a license in this State, it should be a rule of the commission that he be denied a working license until after one year has elapsed, following his application for one. That would balk his picking the spot, the time and the place. If we are to have boxing at its best, there should be no restrictions as to color or creed. The commission is to be congratulated on its stand in the Flower's case. Greb laid his cards on the table as soon as he was told that the Tiger had challenged and that that challenge had been recognized by the boxing commission. The Floyd Fitzsimmons venture, the fly-by-night attempt to promote a Dempsey and Wills bout, has reached the end of the string. That's out. Being out, will Dempsey walk in here and place himself under the jurisdiction of the boxing commission as every other champion has? What was he to fear if he really wants to fight Wills? Where could he get a greater gate than here? Where could he find fairer men than the commission headed by Jim Farley and backed up by Bill Muldoon, George Brower and Col. Phelan? Better come into the fold.

Six representatives were present to enroll their respective tams, among which were many outstanding local players. Great things are expected from this group of men as they possess much experience and great talent. The first league game was played Wednesday evening between the fast Vigilante sextet of Howard University and the Bureau of Engraving team. On Saturday evening the Bears composed of members of the "Y" staff and the teams representing the dormitory clash. All games are scheduled Wednesday and Saturday evening from 7 to 9. for 1926 Storer Falls Before Howard Quint Howard University opened its home basketball schedule with a victory over Storer College of Harpers Ferry, W.Va., last Saturday. The "Bisons" were in front throughout, leading the John Brown's School boys 21-6 at half time. Spears, Howard's center, in the first half scored six twin counters and added another point from the 15-foot line besides playing a good floor game. Costes shared in the scoring honors—in this half. With the beginning of the second half Howard's reserve strength was given a "work-out." Washington substituted for Spear's and added eight points to the total. Simpson and Berry were relieved by Bundrant, Johnson and Mitchell, all of whom scored, Johnson starring. Hill and Spencer entered the game in forward positions. Storer found the Howard attack too varied to stop. In the offensive they relied on long shots. Brown, Jones, Scotland played well for their team and they succeeded in finding the baskets several times. The game ended after Howard had gathered 44 points to Storer's 12.

In making this all-star selection, I have attempted to select players with all-round ability. The players, that can do everything well against all competition and especially against the hardest competition are the players desired on all-American teams. Of course players have "off days" just as all athletes but no player should have more than one "off day" out of eight or a season if he expects to be selected on mythical elevens. Fortunately, I have at some time seen twenty of the twenty-two members on the above teams in action. Ritchie and Stevenson, the exceptions but reports warrant their selection. I shall not attempt to name the various positions and give the requirements necessary to fill each position. Other selections have mentioned the requisites of various players. All Americans are supposed to be prefect players, there are no perfect players but the above are to me the most perfect. poems tn encore nthe . ~ SE, PEE. nee 2 See, PES ney | ne EEA ee eee earn aes eo : _ “foe te Cee ee ie peo es A Ra Scot pee C ES eg! — TS ee ee EE Se | 2 OS” ape Ok ST Voexe : OS Pe eee os a? 2 oe ee ax Nh es * Pa iss S ety fc es be NR SS .

The porter is given 41 months in which to pay for the stock at the rate of $3.00 a month. The money is taken out of his pay check every pay-day. This method of payment alone is an indictment of the low wages the Company is paying the porters, for by giving them 41 weeks to pay for one share of stock is an admission that they don't make enough money to pay for it in a shorter period of time and exist. The object of the stock project is very likely to direct the attention of the porters from the movement to organize them, to make them think that they are a part of the Company, to impress the public with the idea that the Company is very interested in its employees, that they don't need a union of their own to improve their conditions, but that they need only to rely upon the Company, which they have done for over a half century and are still under-paid and over-worked. One Share Of course, the one share of stock P. H. Williams Placed in Charge of Affairs of Institution (Preston News Service) Elizabeth City, N. C., Jan. 14—An audit of the financial condition of the Albemarle Bank which closed its doors on Christmas Eve through lack of funds, to meet incoming checks, was being made Tuesday following appointment of P. H. Williams, president of the Savings Bank and Trust Company, as temporary receiver. Thus far, nothing definite has been disclosed as to the condition of the bank, or the extent to which depositors will be protected. The appointment of Mr. Williams as receiver was made by Judge Henry A. Grady, of Superior Court after a survey of the situation by Clarence Latham, chief bank examiner for the State. Mr. Latham came from Raleigh, Monday, and returned that night. As matters stand, a definite announcement as to the condition of the bank will await the outcome of the audit now being made by W. S. Coursey, of the Frank B. Hill Company, certified public accountants of Charlotte. The State Banking Commission has taken charge of the bank's affairs. A final hearing on it was scheduled for Friday, January 8. Cashier Accused of Embezzlement W. H. Holland, was arrested Thursday on a charge of embezzlement, and is held in jail in default of bond. The warrant for Holland's arrest was worn out by W. S. Coursey, of Charlotte, accountant, who began an audit of the bank's affairs Wednesday. Holland's arrest followed the discovery of a shortage of more than $10,000, according to P. H. Williams, president of the Savings Bank and Trust Company here, and temporary receiver of the Albermarle Bank. It is rumored that the shortage is in the neighborhood of $30,000, though hope is expressed that additional assets will be found in the course of the audit, and thereby the total of the shortage may be reduced. Holland returned from Evansville, Ind, having left for there the day the bank closed. His wife is said to be living in Evansville. "If I have done anything wrong, 'I'm willing to take my punishment,' he is quoted as saying as he was being conducted to jail. The finding of a bank ledger and balance sheets bearing a number of accounts concealed in the bank vault led to the discovery of the shortage and to Holland's arrest, Mr. Coursey stated.

Phone, Columbia 9740 Which a porter can buy, (some can't buy even one) does not give him any voice in the affairs of the Company. The 10,000 shares to all of the porters, granting they purchase them, would not give them any deciding voice in the Company. It won't help them to increase their wages by one penny, nor improve the conditions of their work one iota. The big stockholders in the Company control it. Even if the porters had the money and desired to purchase the stock, they would not be permitted to buy enough to give them the right to breathe a word as to the management of the Company. Of course, Pullman Company's stock is valuable, and only because of the efficient service of the porters. But if the Company is honest and sincere in its pretensions of friendship for the porters, why doesn't it give them a living wage, cease trying to intimidate and brow-beat them into not orgainzing by dressing up a few Filipinos and putting them on some club cars, thereby violating the seniority rights of the porters which it pledged its word to uphold, in an agreement with the porters? Claflin University Gets Tanner Painting Orangeburg, S.C., Jan. 14 (By the Associated Negro Press) Claflin University has secured a painting by the famous American artist, Henry O. Tanner, who ranks among the great artists, not only of American, but of the world. A picture by Mr. Tanner was purchased by the French government and was hung in Louvre Museum. It represents the raising of Lazarus. Another painting by Mr. Tanner, "Daniel in the Lions' Den," may be found in the Philadelphia Art Gallery. The Chicago Art Institute has his "Peter and John at the Tomb of Christ." The Metropolitan Art Museum of New York City, which is the greatest of all of our art museums, has recently placed upon its walls a picture by Mr. Tanner, "Sodom and Gomorrah," representing Lot and his two daughters escaping from the fire and bristone of the Lord, showing the figures of Lot and his daughters in the foreground with their faces set away from the destruction behind them. In the background he depicts a seething, convoluted mass of smoke. The picture which Claflin has secured is a marine view, representing the rising of a storm. It is something on the order of the picture which has been recently secured by the Metropolitan Art Museum of New York City. In one, this expression of terrific elemental power is expressed in water, and in the other through fire. The Claflin picture is a masterpiece by one of the world's greatest masters. It is worth at least $3,000. It was possible for them to secure this picture through the assistance of Bishop Hartzell, who was the friend and patron of Mr. Tanner in the early years of his struggle. Bishop Hartzeld had the picture in his possession, and because of his previous relations to this work he desired to have one of Mr. Tanner's pictures here at Claflin. This is not the only valuable painting owned by Claflin. A portrait of Robert +Gould Shaw, painted by the great Negro artist, Bannister, who lived many years ago, hangs in the beautiful Lee Library, besides another jainting by Mrs. L. M. Dunton, who is an artist of more than ordinary ability. Great credit is due Mrs. Dunton for the equality of the contribution which she made to Claflin University. Being herself a woman of high culture and extraordinary attainments, she contributed liberally, not only to the academic, religious, and moral life of the school, but to the aesthetic and cultural life as well. And now there is here at Claflin this nucleus of art treasure. BROTHERHOOD OF RACES AFFIRMED BY METHODISTS Race Relations Given Prominent Place on Program of Great Southern Denomination Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 3—Four thousand Methodist young people from all parts of the South, in convention in this city, went on record today with the declaration that "divisive, unbrotherly attitudes as between races must be displaced by the spirit of generosity, service, and mutual respect." "We must abide by the principles of Jesus," said the young people, "namely, the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the supreme value of human personality." Their denomination, the M. E. Church South numbering 2,500,000, was requested to "take steps to bring about as far as possible equal advantages between the races in the South in education, in the courts, in economic matters, and in the opportunity for self-advancement." The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM Always Good! ```markdown ``` THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 15. 1926 Armstrong Students On Strike Armstrong Students On Strike (Continued from page 1 that complaints were so plentiful that the removal was certain. He declined to provide any evidence, or letters, or names of complaining letter writers, or to report upon the action of the conference of Wednesday evening; nor could the Tribune representatives obtain any comparative tables that would make clear to readers the differences between records of Armstrong and other schools in the District. The officers of the Student Council are Manning Johnson, president; Philip Brooks, vice-president; Theolia Alexander, secretary; Helen Boling, treasurer; Ullysses Price, Jr., sergeant-at-arms. Considerable interest has been aroused in educational circles and among the citizens of the District interested in the public school system by the news that Captain Arthur C. Newman, principal of Armstrong High School for the past nine years, is about to be removed from that post and transferred to some other location in the service with the certainty of a marked reduction in salary. Though no definite place has been settled upon for his future occupancy, it has been very definitely determined that he will leave Armstrong School by February 1st. The post of Military Instructor has been tendered to him, but since that position involves a salary loss of $1400, it is not at all likely to prove acceptable to Principal Newman. The personnel committee of the Board of Education made a report last Wednesday upon an investigation of the principal of Armstrong School, but final action was deferred until a later session of the body. In an interview with Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson, First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, which office has supervision over the Armstrong school and the military position involved. The Tribune was informed that the consideration of Prof. Newman's removal is not a new subject, nor are the conclusions hastily arrived at. "The whole subject," said Prof. Wilkinson, "has been under advisement for about two years." "At the opening of the school year," the assistant superintendent continued, "Captain Newman was advised that he was under observation, and he asked that he be permitted to present a statement to the administration. This was granted, and his statement in defense of his policies and practices was forwarded for consideration to the Board of Education, together with a letter from the American Legion post and other information favorable to him. In fact, the board has been kept informed of all developments as they have occurred." To Improve System "Please make it emphatic, that there is not one iota of character reflection involved in the removal of Prof. Newman from'Armstrong High School. The move is being made in the interest of improving the system. His administration there is open to attack in several administrative forms. He must be replaced if we would maintain the desired standard in our schools. The improvement of Armstrong is all, that is desired." In the written statement delivered to the assistant superintendent, Captain Newman, who won his title in the World War, and whose office wall is adorned with the certificate to the Crois de Guerre, made a detailed report of his service in the Washington public school system, of which he himself is a product. It is a lengthy document; and if its claims are sustained, he has made a notable contribution to the curriculum and to the effectiveness of vocational training. The statement includes a remarkable testimonial to Newman's abilities in an extract from the report of a committee representing the Buffalo, N.Y., Chambr of Commerce, who with other delegates to the national convention of the body said after visiting all of the vocational schools and finding them in their opinion "over-equippe and under-taught," that the Cardozo School, of which he was then the principal, was the marked exception to that rule, and the pupils were well taught. The Rport The report states: "The Principal, A. C. Newman is a full-blooded Negro. The work done is excellent. . . Mr. Newman knows his people and their opportunities in the working world, and is fitting them to meet actual requirements by real work. One hour work and one hour book, is his method. This principal—a Negro has solved the problem of vocational training." When asked to state his view upon the impending change, Captain Newman whose manner is that of a self-assured man of affairs, and whose complexion is such as to destroy the many white-man-made declarations that a Negro has capacity limitations, stated that when he took charge of Armstrong, then one of the weakest schools in the system and not wanted by any principal, that it was with this policy laid down and since adhered to; "A manual training school is intended to serve the community by providing the basic practical knowledge for such students as desire and have the opportunity for taking advance courses in the engineering and allied lines; and for giving to those so inclined who have not such opportunities the chance of completing a skilled trade that will enhance their earning capacity for all of life." Dwight Holmes, former registrar, and now a dean of Howard University, and G. David Houston, assistant principal of Dunbairn High School, where he is in charge of business practice, are both mentioned as possible successors to the position that will be vacant with Professor Newman's retirement from Armstrong—if he does retire. Strong interests have been aroused in his behalf, if street gossip of a more or less reliable sort is to be credited with solid foundation. be credited with solid foundation. The teachers and students of Armstrong School, held a meeting of remonstrance against, the removal of the principal after school on Thursday afternoon, and at the close of this meeting, a letter signed by the pupils was forwarded to the Board of Education. Later, in formal gatherings, the more radical students argued for a strike should the removal take place. Some of the boys even made mention of such a proceeding in the meeting, it is reported, but such steps were discouraged by the more conservative element. Another student mass meeting was scheduled for noon Friday. State Department Refuses Statement about Minister to Haiti The State Department has declined to comment on the report that a colored man would not be acceptable to the Haitian Government as minister from the United States. The question of appointing a minister to Haiti has not arisen for sometime, nor will it have to be decided upon as long as the high commissioner remains there, it was said at the State Department, and in view of this fact the question of appointing a colored man as minister to Haiti has never arisen. "For this reason," an official said, "the Department must decline to comment on a question which has not yet come up for discussion and which is primarily of academic interest." Notwithstanding this statement from the State Department, it was repeated in Sanatorial circles that the Haitian Government had advised this Government that a colored man would not be acceptable as minister from the United States. Senator Irvin L. Lenroot, of Wisconsin, has been interested in the appointment of a colored man as minister to Haiti. He had a representative to take up the question of the acceptability of a colored man as minister to Haiti with the Haitian legation here and it was reported at the time that a colored man of character and standing would be acceptable. Since then, however, Senator Lenroot is reported to have been advised that no colored person would be accepted solely on the ground of color. In the meantime, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has under consideration two resolutions introduced by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, one of which requests Secretary of State Kellogg to advise the Senate as to what powers and functions Brigadier General John H. Rusell is exercising in Haiti as the American High Commissioner, and the other expresses it to be the sense of the Senate that the President should withdraw the marines now in Haiti. The State Department is of the opinion that conditions in Haiti have not reached such a stage that the marines can be withdrawn at this time. It does not deem the appointment of a minister to Haiti so long as the American occupation continues and a high commissioner is exercising the functions of a minister. The names of Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., and Emmett J. Scott have been constantly mentioned in connection with the ministership to Haiti since the death of Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, the last American envoy o Haiti.

M. Roddenberry and W. O. Perkins, and lynched him for his alleged attack upon a white woman. After hanging the victim about 20 miles out of town, the band riddled his body with bullets, Roddenberry reported today. Roddenberry said evidence showed no doubt of the Negro's guilt. Cancelled checks signed by the victim were said to have been found in cellled checks signed by his victim Colding's shack before his arrest. Editor's note—And Florida is advertising for Negro labor to perform the labor incident to the construction boom. Prizes are for most effective slogans of less than 15 words for contending for rights in this year 1926 as the 150th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence, which declared for equality, etc., and which the race helped make possible. The slogan must reach the National Equal Rights League at 9 Cornhill by February 1st, the winning slogans to be made known before February 12 for Douglass-Lincoln Day meetings. The judges of slogans are Editor Carl Murphy of Baltimore Afro-American, Editor E. W. Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune, Rev. J. G. Robinson, Editor of the A. M. E. Church Quarterly Review, Dr. W.

Not knowing the personnel of the show, and since Mr, Lewis failed to make good on a promise of the names of his people, we must forego stating anything more than that we enjoyed what we saw from S.

The one artist whose name we 2s- cértained was the baby of the com- pany, little Doris Wallace who is do- ing a singing and dancing feature. The child is apparently not more than six or 8 years of age, but is an ac- complished worker.

The Okey people have taken a two-year contract upon her services. She be- gan work last week when she and Phil Worde the pianist, recorded “Take that thing away from me” and “Your jelly roll is good, but it ain't as good as mine,” a pair of Perry Bradford songs. This week, the two people im- pressed ‘Everybody does it now” and “Lucky Long.” LEIGH WHIPPER VISITS" WASH- INGTON WHILE UNION DEPUTY * REPORTS GOOD BILL IN NEWARK The Orpheum Theatre, Newark, NJ., had @ corking good bill ‘ast week, according to a letter from Eu- gene Hooten of Hooten and Hooten who were one of the acts _pro- grammed. The Woodens, The Bret- tons, Tolliver and Harris and Johnson and Eva were the others billed. The back of the program announces an early sppearance of Johnnie Hud- gins and Butterbeans and Susie, both acts being promised for February dates. Leigh Whipper, manager of the Or- pheum spent a few hours in Weshing- ton on Thursday, January 7, en route, as he declared, to Florida for a mect- ing with other managers. He prom- ised, however, that he would be in his offiee in Newark on Monday, January 11, so we are inclined to believe that the genial Leigh was spoofing a bit or awe, some soncealed stuff of more or racter. : how, his sorggeemps serail to th ‘Tribune staff, Chip of the Old Block ny 3 ot é pea, .

Lincoln Theatre to Have Keith Acts Exe mamtnite vs PINCHBACK Beginning on January 24, when Ju- lian Arthur's. twelve-piece’ organiza- tion of entertainers opens as an added attraction to the week’s film program, |the Lincoln Theatre paves the way to- ward a standard mixed vaudeville and Fieture program if’ the innovation should. meet the approval of Lincolh ‘Theatre patrons. - In an interview with manager Wal- ter Pinchback who assumed charge of the house on January, 2, the ‘Tribune was advised that the project was ena tirely experimental .;and should th idea’ prove promising, the practice of Presenting one or more big-time acts from the Keith circuit will probably be established. It is known to those familiar «with " theatriealg that the Stanley company that recently ab- sorbed ‘the Crandall ‘properties imclid~ ing the booking of the Lincoln, is partly owned by the Keith-Albee in- teresté. The share of Stanley stock owned by the big vaudeville organiza- tion, is said to be 25, per cent, This coupled with the fact that the Keith circuit in common with other booking interests does not play any of the colored acts under contract to them in Washington vaudeville thea- tres, and that the Lincoln may be able to provide a filler for the time, thus lost to these acts having. long- time contracts, makes the project a feasable one. The Keith bookers have twenty-seven Negro acts work- ing over the time, and about sixty more have qualified and had salary limits set, lacking only a chance for a route, oe eae neil “ise ome | A 7 ie a ie)” f | ee eV ; bj | a A Bi eye | : Peete ae elk oS ee rise Mrs. VIRGINIA E.

Dudley has set the date of re- hearsal for the “Ebony Follies” for February 1, at Washington, D.C., the show will open on February i5th at some theatre not yet disclosed by Mr. Dudley. William’ Kelroy, one of the old school of road show managers, who won his spurs in the days of the Stair-Havlin circuit, and who owned “The Cowboy Girl”’and other attrac- tions has been selected to manage the show. The advance man has not been named, although when the man de- termined upon comes into his job, he will find himself possesed of & com- plete supply of advertising matter. The show will be billed in the old manner with liberal use of posted pa- per, all special staff, There will be her- alds every page of which is made from special drawings, four styles of half sheet lithographs, and three different designs of whole sheets. In addition to this window work, there has been ordered four designs of three-sheets and one type of eight-sheet and six- teen sheet block paper. Tn an interview with Mr. Dudley, he stated that the show would be staged under his personal supervision; that S. H. Jr., would produce and stage the dance numbers and that the younger Dudley and Lonnie Fisher would be the featured people, Lonnie of course doing the comedy role The scenario has been completed and this is in lieu of a tiresome book, for the show is designe dto produce’ laughter and en- tertainment without the need of the patron having to harrass his mind with the need to maintain an interest in the story. Mr. Dudley has com- pleted the opening number for each of the eight scenes and the first act fi nale. ‘The lyrics are of unusual merit, ‘and one song number has already been contracted to the Columbia Rec- ord Company for recording. ~ ‘Tim Brymn has made the musical arrangements for the production; and Chris Smith has been associated with Mr. Dudley in the composition @ the lyrics, ‘The show will number 23 people and is being so constructed as to be sent on tour for appearance in either white or colored theatres, and in week stands or on the two- and three-night ‘stands. ‘ ott cae? 2 Shufflin’ Sam’ “Shufflin’ Sam from Alabam,” the Nay Brother's attraction that S. H. Dudley, Jr., staged for them, and which is being piloted by “Doc” Gard- ner and William’ Nye, is in the Lafayette Theatre, New York. There is a well defined rumor that the show is being considered by export agents for an appearance in Europe. The show is one of the. type that is equally appealing -to white or colored audi- ences, and if taken abroad. would find no trouble to please the Europeans. Should the show go abroad, young Dudley will not go with it, for he has already been engaged to join Lonnie Fisher in charge of a big show that his father is preparing to send out. Comments Tike the following from the Erie, Pa., Dispatch-Herald con- firm previous reports upon the show: Something rather new in the line of entertainment—a fast moving, laughing .and enjoyable offering— given entirely by Negroes, came to town last night iw the form of “Shuf- flin’ Sam from Alabam’,” and a good- sized audience in the~Park theatre gave the show a fine reception. There has been little if anything in the line of this form of entertainment, not even in the days of Williams and Walker, to equal it. The vaudeville bill in the Perry for the first half of the week is dis- appointing. ‘There is nothing in the five acts offered to raise the enter- tainment above a very ordinary level. Data for Discussion at the Big Meeting Despite the-month that has elapsed since the C, A. U. passed a resolution calling upon its members to write in giving their complaints.and full ex- planation of the details concerning each specific complaint; but three tab- loid managers, and no acts have filed the letter asked for with either the secretary or the delegate elected to represent the Union at the T. 0. B. A. stockholders meeting. Don't expect the delegate to show more interest in your own affairs than you do yourself. Get busy, forget that laziness and indifference for once, if you want results. Our performers too often have sood intentions, but fail to get busy in time. “Creole Bells” Sug- gests that Opera would Please Leo Stevens provided the patrons ‘of Jimmie Cooper's Howard Theatre with a much better show this week than was given by the stock company ‘during its initial week, ‘The thing was just a bit and number revue, as— before; but the bits were presented with @ more classy environment of scenery, wardrobe and with improved musical arrangements. Tim Brymn has brought the orches= tra up to a really enjoyable standard, and in an interview, yet more improve- ments in both scores and performanee are promised. There was a pleasant relief from the smut and offensiveness of the “Cooch” dancing that has been so pleasing to some, and insulting to others. “Tiger” Flowers was the added at- traction, and the fighter proved a good showman. He does the Charlestom quite as effectively as he shadow boxes, The comedians helped his of fering immensely and the presence of his wife and child in the left-hand box added to the favorable reception accorded the fighter-deacon, The opening was an original con- ceit, insofar as Washington may know, the Japanese number that closed the show was picturesquely effective, and there were several well~ staged choral numbers between. The final of the first act, teheonea grand opera was so well accompani musically that it impressed hearers with a desire to see an operatic tab- loid Se presented by the stock company with an added singer for the arias, a local one would do well, for Washington likes good, musi. Not whole operatic pr juction, just a tab- loid as John Isham once had it. ct one who tn to this week's show saw a smal mut good cot in a geod evenings, Satettalnmments There was beauty to eye and ear, some good comedy by Billy Cumby and pee" Strain, and incense was Chrown th to give the nose a bit of the excite ment. One got his nen worth at the Howard this week. That is if he did not demand a three dollar show at bargain counter prices. J. A, JACKSON.
