James A. Cobb Confirmed As Judge Court Orders Two Teachers' Positions Vacated SENATE UNANIMOUSLY CONFIRMS LOCAL LAWYER FOR MUNICIPAL BENCH ArmstrongTeachersBlamed JACKSON CASE IS BIG SLAP AT FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No. 42 JACKSON CASE IS BIG SLAP AT SCHOOL BOARD The Board of Education must declare vacant the two positions in the Armstrong Technical High School, which are being filled by Miss Susie V. Jennings, of 933 Westminster Street, Norhtwest, and Miss Elizabeth D. Burrell, of 1711 Eleventh Street, Northwest, and appoint in their places Miss Mabel M. Jackson, of 1834 Ninth Street, Northwest, and Mrs. Mary Craft Cottrell, of 1850 Third Street, Northwest. A writ of mandamus commanding the Board of Education, Superintendent Frank W. Ballou and Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson to declare these positions vacant and appoint Miss Jackson was issued last week upon the order of Justice A. A. Hoehling. Her appointment will be effective as of February 14, 1924. The Jackson case, Corporation Counsel Stephens says, will control in the case of Mrs. Cottrell, which is identical except that Mrs. Cottrell was a public school teacher and was granted a leave of absence under the maternity rule. In their suits against the Board of Education, Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell contended that Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell were illegally appointed as teachers of domestic art in the Armstrong Technical High School in that they lacked the necessary qualifications. Miss Jackson and Mrs. Cottrell took competitive examination on December 19, 1923, for appointment to teach domestic art in the senior high schools. They passed this examination and were certified as eligible for appointment on February 14, 1924. They charged that they were being deprived of positions to which they were rightfully entitled to be appointed because Miss Jennings and Miss Burrell were illegally filling them. Miss Jackson was represented by attorneys Joseph A. Donovan and Charles C. Collins. CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL ARE NAMED CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL ARE NAMED The nominations for the Citizens' Advisory Council closed on Monday night with seventeen white candidates listed for the six seats allotted to whites, and six candidates for the two seats allotted to colored in the council. The members of the council will be chosen by representatives of the various citizens' associations, white and colored; the whites on April 3, the colored April 2. The total number of delegates last year was ninety-six; there will probably be fewer this year, for many of the citizens associations have gone on record as opposing the advisory council as an organization. The six colored candidates include the present colored members of the council, Dr. George H. Richardson, of the Public Interest Association, (N. E.), and George T. Beason, of the Georgetown Civic Association, and William H. Lewis, Garfield Civic Association; Elzie S. Hoffman, Barry Farms Civic Association; Howard D. Woodson, Northeast Suburban Association, and Capt. H. D. Queen, Benning-Glendale-Oakland Association. The Washington Post of Tuesday, gave the platforms of the colored candidates as follows: Dr. Richardson's Platform Dr. Richardson's Platform Dr. Richardson, at a meeting of the Public Interest Association in the parish hall of the Calvary Episcopal Church, 12th and G Streets, Northeast, announced his platform. He said: "I favor unqualified suffrage for the citizens of the District of Columbia; the election of a board of education by the people; the repeal of the Borland amendment; improved educational facilities respecting courses of study and building accommodations; adequate representation of the District in Congress; liberal provisioin for juvenile recreation centers; absolutely equal civil and property rights for all, without-regard to sex, color, race, religion or politics; a system of progressive, liberal, cooperative, highly artistic beautification of all parts of the city, having due regard to the preservation of beauty spots; a thoroughly independent public utilities commission, with a competent local attorney as adviser, and the lowest taxation consistent with the foregoing."

ON DEFENSE AT HEARING Never before in the history of the national capital has the school system undergone so thorough and exhaustive investigation as have constituted part of the hearings connected with the effort to pass the Gasque bill to provide for an elective school board. These hearings have been conducted by the committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives of which Frederick N. Zihlman, of Maryland is chairman. Most of the hearings have been conducted by a sub-committee composed of Robert G. Houston of Delaware; Florian Lampert of Wisconsin; William Q. Hammer of North Carolina; and the author of the bill Allard H. Gasque of South Carolina with Frank A. Reid of Illinois as presiding officer. The hearings disclosed the need, according to the expressions of some of the congressmen, to go into details of every phase of the administration of the educational system of the District. The unrest that has prevailed for a number of years was given full cognizance. School officials, including Superintendent Frank A. Ballou, and also Edward B. Graham, Dr. H. B Learned and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett members of the board were called before the school committee last week, and each of them failed signally under cross-examination by the Representatives who questioned them. Failure of the electric system in the House building saved Dr. Ballou from a complete collapse, as he defended his administration before the committee last Saturday night. Snowden Ashford, former municipal architect testified that from 100 to 200 per cent was added to the cost of school constructions and purchases to some one's benefit. Ernest E. Pullman, president of the Manor Park Citizens Associations, testified that the Board of Education was "openly hostile to the desires of the public." Dr. Bennett Grilled A feature of the meeting was the grilling of Dr. F. I. A. Bennett, colored member of the board of education. Chairman Reid cross-examined Dr. Bennett at length and after he had obtained admissions from him that the board of education rarely failed to approve the recommendations of Dr. Ballou or of reports made by board committees he asked him if this didn't sort of bear out the "rubber stamp" charge made against the board early in the hearings. Palpably irritated over Mr. Reid's (Continued on page 4) HOWARD UNIV. ITEMS RESTORED BY U. S. SENATE The Senate Committee on Appropriations approved an amendment to the Interior Department appropriations bill appropriating a total of $218,000 for Howard University. Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, of Utah, chairman of the subcommittee, which reported the Interior Department appropriations bill to the Senate last Saturday, was authorized to offer the amendment on the floor of the Senate. The amendment provides for $125,000 for maintenance; $28,000 for the department of manual arts; $9,000 for the medical school; $5,000 for the science department; $30,000 for improvement of grounds and repair of buildings, and $18,000 for fuel and light. The Interior Department appropriations bill as reported to the Senate carries a total of $166,390 for Freedmen's Hospital. The sum of $113,-496 of this amount is for officers and employees and compensation for all other professional and other services that may be required. The sum of $52,894 is for subsistence, fuel and light, clothing, medical and surgical supplies, surgical instruments, replacement of X-ray apparatus and an ambulance. SEEK WRIT OF MANDAMUS AGAINST COMMISSIONERS Mrs. Marjorie A. Miller of 766 Irving Street, Northwest, through Attorneys Houston and Houston, filed a writ of mandamus aganist the District Commissioners, to compel them to open the alley adjoining Mrs. Miller's property. According to Mrs. Miller's bill, the alley adjoining her property is a public alley and had been used as such until about November 1, 1925. About that time, it is claimed that the District Commissioners had several loads of sand and other material dumped at the Irving Street entrance of the alley. Despite the pleas of the property owners, this alley has remained closed. In addition to asking that the alley be opened, Mrs. Miller asks the court to allow her $1000 damages which she claims she has suffered because the alley has been closed. The case will come up March 27. Attorney Charles H. Houston will handle the case. ST. JOHN GRAND LODGE BUYS NEW HOME HERE On or about five years ago Edward Love was elected Grand Master, Andrew Smith, 'Deputy Grand Master', Charles L. Smith, Grand Secretary of St. John Grand Lodge. The Grand Master with his loyal co-workers laid plans for the securing of a permanent home. This resulted in the acquisition of the Cadets' Armory, 708 O Street, Northwest. Through this leadership the order has grown to more than eighteen hundred members in good standing and an able corps of ladies under Adah Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, the Heronine EDWARD LOVE, 33°, Grandmaster St. John Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., Inc. of Jericho, the Ancient Arabic Order of Daughters of Sphinx, and the Grand Court of Delibertion, presided over by Daughter Lucy M. Thomas, Supreme Grand Deputy and Illustrious Edward Love, 33. The officers of Adah Grand Chapter are: Mariah E. Byas, Royal Grand Matron; Annie Washington, Assistant Grand Matron; Carrie C. Carter, Grand Conductress; Sarah Dishman, Assistant Grand Conductress; Lucy Fry, Grand Treasurer; Josephine Read, Grand Secretary; Julia Wallace, Grand Adah; Julia Miles, Grand Ruth; Mary Artis, Grand Electra; Martha Scott, Grand Martha; Jennit Cooper, Grand Esther; Josephine Boyd, Grand Warden; Elizabeth Harris, Grand Chaplain; Fitzhugh Dickson, Grand Sentinel; Coit Hill, Grand Marshall; David W. Clark, Grand Patron; and Charles L. Smith, Grand Assistant Patron. The Royal Arch The Royal Arch Chapter, the Nights Templars, the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Capital City Consistory of Washington, D.C. together have improved the assembly room in the temple with electric lights and a seating capacity for more than five hundred, and rooms for subordinate lodges and other associations at a small rental. The officers of St. John Grand Lodge are as follows: Ill. Edward Love, 33, (Continued on page 4 ) The Southern Aid Society, the Race insurance company that has contributed so much to the improvement of the business properties available to Washington Negro industries, professions and amusement enterprises, has just released to the public, through its many branch offices, printed copies of the annual statement of the Society. The concern has increased its capital stock from $30,000 to $85,000 and has authorization to make the capital an even hundred thousand dollars during the current year. The significance of these figures is at once apparent when the total assets of $871,345.46 is noted. Against this there is reported liabilities of only $131,778.54, leaving a surplus of $739,556.92. Reduced to simple language, it means that the concern has practically seven dollars for every one that it is under any obligation to pay. Truly a remarkable business showing. During the past year the agents of the society wrote business that produced an income of $785,796.63. Interest from investments, rents and discounts brought the income total up to $942,453.65, while total disbursements to policy holders were $380,877.33. Salaries and operating expenses, made the total disbursements $824,356.47, leaving more than a hundred thousand dollars profit on the year's business to further add to the security of the investment of either policyholder or stockholder. Of course, not all of this income is direct assessment by any means. Much of it represents profits from sagacious investments in profitable properties that not only yielded profit to the Society, but created business opportunities for Race enterprises that needed such financial assistance as the big concern could render. More came from the careful selection of city, state and municipal bonds of assured yield and ready conversion into cash should such be required. This required an investment market knowledge such as few Negroes have attained. The payment of $328,518.54 to employees in salaries and commissions, somewhat more than a third of the (Continued on page 4) BURGLARS BREAK INTO TRIBUNE OFFICE Burglaries broke into the offices of the Tribune, the Murray Brothers Printing plant and George Herriot's drug store at 920 U Street, Northwest, sometime between Thursday midnight and daylight Friday morning. Entrance was made apparently through the shop and doors jimmied into the front offices. The drug store was entered via the ladies' wash room of the print shop and through a sealed door that is back of a telephone booth standing in the drug store. As this goes to press, police are investigating; and their analysis of the case has not been concluded. Dr. Herriot sustained a loss of $250 in cash. No inventory has as yet been made of stock which seems not to have been disturbed. In the printing office, it seems that some untoward circumstance obliged the abandonment of efforts after the rear door had been jimmied from the hinges and the bolts removed from the safe door hinges. Save for the disturbance of the office equipment nothing seems to have been taken from this office. The job appears to have been one conducted by a person above the petty thief class. It is equally obvious that the burglar or burglar lacks experience in high-class work. The attempt to use a pair of office shears, designed to clip newspapers, to jimmie safe hinges shows more ambition than knowledge. The tools used by the burglar were taken from shop, drug store or office. That the intruders were familiar with the premises, is indicated by the evident ease with which the desired equipment was located. At the regular meeting of the Board of Education on Wednesday, the long deferred report upon the walk out of the High School students was rendered and the Board recommended that the responsibility for the "strike" be charged to Captain A. C. Newman, demoted principal, against whose pending demotion the students walked out. Newman is credited with "a lack of administrative leadership," according to the report. The report of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, that was thus approved by the board, further stated that Charles M. Thomas, sponsor of the student council of Armstrong School was equally at fault in the matter of judgment. It was recommended that "he be relieved from duty for all time" for that position. An absence of corporate responsibility was attributed to the officers and faculty of the school who, according to the report, with judgment, could have prevented the strike. SWIMMING POOL TO BE ERECTED HERE SOON SWIMMING POOL TO BE ERECTED HERE SOON The Washington Sport Amusement Company has been organized to operate a bathing pool on a commercial basis in this city. A site has been secured on Georgia Avenue near the American League baseball park, and contracts have been let for the erection of a structure that will house a bathing pool 150 by 110 feet in size, together with the facilities necessary for its operation. The place will be called "Happyland Swimming Pool." A group of New York promoters, engineers and financiers have been in the city for some time studying the feasibility of such a project in our midst. After careful survey of the city, the site was selected. Work will begin this week, and the contracts call for the completion of the plant in time for summer bathing. The dimensions given above are the exact measurements of the pool. The structure will have eight store rooms on the Georgia Avenue front, and on the Eighth Street side there will be a sand beach and series of shower baths. Elsewhere about the premises will be located a laundry, offices and other essential features such as the engine room. The pool will be of varying depth with a gallery running around Lynne Brothers, engineers of New Haven, Conn., who devised and erected the bathing pools in the big parks at Waterbury and Hartford, Conn., and in Cincinnati are installing their patented construction work. The plant provides for a pumping system that will change the water every four minutes, and keep it above the U. S. standard of purification by a process of filtration and sterilization. A. H. Halle, one time press agent for Bert Williams, is the general manager of the project. He has been stopping at the Occidental Hotel during the preliminary stages of the matter. He is in New York this week on business connected with the construction, and will return to Washington this week when he will set up an office here. Harry J. Tourac, a New York investor, is financing the project, and in an interview with the Tribune, he stated that no stock would be offered to the public in connection with the promotion, as it is fully financed. Irving L. Levy, also of New York, is the corporation counsel. Jack Wood has been selected as general electrician in charge of installation and operation of the electric equipment that forms an important part of the plant. It will be the policy of the company to select the other employees locally. The price scale has not yet been determined, but it will be as low as the tremendous investment will permit to begin with, and scaling downward as the volume of business justifies. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. d As J d SENATE UNANIM d CONFIRMS LO FOR MU ATTY. JAS. A. COBB WALTER HARMON IS DISMISSED FROM HOWARD WALTER HARMON IS DISMISSED FROM HOWARD Walter Harmon, a senior medical student, was indefinitely suspended last Thursday by the Howard University medical school faculty on account of three college girls remaining out of the Miner Hall dormitory all night on February 22, last. The suspension of Mr. Harmon came as a surprise. Howard University students generally believed that the case had been closed with the suspension of five college students who attended a "Backbitters" party on George Washington's birthday evening. It was thought that the two professional school students who were in the party would go scot-free. The girls, who remained out all night, were suspended by Dean Lucy D. Slowe on February 23, last, after Miss Marie I. Hardwick, the preceptress, had reported to her that they failed to spend the night in Miner Hall. Following the action of the dean of women, the two college boys who attended the party with the "co-eds" were suspended. They are Theodore Mark White, of Bay City, Mich., and Gilbert Lloyd Edwards, of New Haven, Corn. Faculty and students divided on the question of whether or not the two professional school students should be disciplined. In the case of Frederick Lyons French, a freshman law student, the law school faculty decided not to suspend him. He was, however, ordered to apologize to the dean of women for his conduct, to remain off the "hill" for the remainder of this school year, and given a verbal reprimand. The fact that Freddie French accompanied a young lady to the "backbiters" party, who was not a student although she was a guest in Miner Hall from New York city, lessened his punishment. The medical school faculty took no action in the case of Walter Harmon until after an expose had been made in the newspapers of a double standard of discipline as between professional school students. Last Thursday evening he was indefinitely suspended. Harmon is said to be a married student. THREE THOUSAND WOMEN DEMAND ANTI-LYNCHING LAW PASSED Jackson, Miss., March 16—By the Associated Negro Press)—Thousands of Mississippi's white women have gone on record publicly against lynching, and three thousand of the number have signed a petition asking the legislature to enact more stringent laws against it, as the result of a tour of the state by Mrs.Maud Henderson of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Mrs. Henderson visited twenty cities and spoke from one to three times a day to selected groups representing the best leadership of the several communities. In a number of cities the desire was expressed for the immediate organization of women's interracial committees and the inauguration of a program of cooperation. 12 PAGES TWO SECTIONS N. PRICE 5 CENTS Judge NIMOUSLY LOCAL LAWYER MUNICIPAL BENCH The appointment of James A. Cobb by the President to the position of judge on the Municipal Court bench of the District of Columbia was confirmed by the Senate on Wednesday afternoon, March 17, within four days after the judiciary committee had unanimously approved of the favorable report of a sub-committee that had conducted hearings on the matter. Senator William M. Butler is credited with having negotiated the appointment; and his influence as chairman of the National Committee is generally regarded as the pressure that prevailed with the President. Senator Charles S. Deneen of Illinois, as chairman of the judiciary committee manipulated the handling of the subject in committee. Judge Cobb will take office just as soon as he is sworn, a procedure that requires but little time, and is conducted with brief ceremony. Mr. Cobb is the second Negro to be appointed to the bench in this city; and he succeeds to the place formerly occupied by the late Judge Robert H. Terrell who served three terms in the office. James A. Cobb is a bachelor. He was born in Arcadia, Louisiana, in 1876. He was educated at Straight University, New Orleans; Fisk University, Nashville, where he received his LL.B.; and at Howard University, where he took his LL.M., in 1900 and the Ph.B., in 1902. He was admitted to practice in the District in 1901, was for a number of years a special assistant U. S. Attorney, and for many years has been an instructor in the law department of Howard University. He maintains offices at 600 F Street, Northwest, and has achieved wide distinction as the attorney of record in many of the N. A. A. C. P. cases, the most recent case being the Damed Curis street segregation case before the U. S. Supreme Court. He is a member of the Congregational Church and of the Masonic Order. The subcommittee held hearings last Friday and Saturday on the nomination of Mr. Cobb. On Friday morning, William L. Houston, William C. Matthews, Benjamin L. Gaskins, Emmett J. Scott, J. T. Settle, Arthur G. Froc, and Ernest Lyons of Baltimore, appeared before the committee in the interest of Mr. Cobb. Two persons appeared against him. They were J. C. Vaughn Todd and Thomas Johnson. Saturday afternoon, Mr. Cobb himself appeared before the committee and made a favorable impression. The members of the subcommittee were Senators Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois; Rice W. Means, Republican, of Colorado, and William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. Atty. Cobb Makes Statement When interviewed by a Tribune reporter Attorney James A. Cobb stated: "I am naturally pleased with the honor conferred on me in appointing me Judge of the Municipal Court. I will strive to serve the best interest of the people of the district at all times. "So numerous have been the number of letters, telegram and phone messages of congratulations, I wish, through the Fribune to thank my many friends for these expressions." The Senate on Thursday reconsidered its action of Wednesday in confirming the nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the municipal court. Reconsideration was taken at the request of Senator Harrison, of Mississippi. Residential Segregation Threatened in Indianapolis Indianapolis, Ind., March 17—(By the Associated Negro Press)—White and colored residents of this city are to be segregated in the future if an ordinance passed by the city council Monday prevails. It provides that henceforth it shall be unlawful for any white person to establish a home in any portion of the city inhabited principally by colored people, and vice versa, except on the written consent of the majority property owners of such district. Fines and imprisonment are provided for violations. DR. STERLING N. BROWN MENTIONED FOR HOWARD PRESIDENCY Dr. Sterling N. Brown, who for the past 34 years has been a professor in the School of Religion of Howard University has been suggested for the presidency of the University in letters sent to the daily and weekly papers by Rev. C. MacRea Lewistall of the Christian Disciples Church. Dr. Brown is a Congregationalist. THE FASHION REVIEW BY NAN VALENTINE Exclusive Birthday Feature! So far the weather man has interfered seriously with the smart women, limiting her frocks to wool jersey or heavy coarse silks such as tussor and silk alpaca, with sleeves inevitably long. In the sturdy types seen thus far, the two-piece mode continues to pursue its advantage with lines very straight and fulness achieved by pleats of all varieties. Even the one-piece frocks keep to simple jumper lines. Natural kasha and pale biege colors seem to express the mode of these bleak days, but add a hope of warmth in contrasts of soft greens, deep violet and a new red between raspberry and cerise. Knitted wool occasionally takes to somewhat livelier shades; and in spite of the thermometer, which has been hovering around zero, one or two crepes have already preffered such valuable jumper ideas as the long belted tunic and the bolero modification of the jumper blouse. That Lauvin is partial to embroidered kasha and the one-piece sports frock is an advance hint worth cherishing. The spring afternoon dress may be of taffetta, if it is extremely new, or of crope trimmed in taffeta, of the ultra-flattering georgette. At any event, it asserts its femininity by its ornamentation. One of the most interesting styles novelties of the season is the quilted silk coat which is expressed either in satin or taffetta and trimmed with fur or with the plain fabric. These coats are at present selling principally in black, brown and navy, and in full length models. It is quite generally believed that the first appearance of spring weather By Vee Tee Tee ANSWERS TO QUERIES By Vee Tee Tee I am a girl of sixteen. My parents are very strict on me, they do not allow me to have company. I am in love with a young man and he is very nice to me. Now do you think I am old enough to go out in company. R. W. R. My dear R. W. R.; Evidently from your letter you are in love with a young man unknown to your parents. How long have you been going with this young fellow? Where did you meet him and whom, do you see him asking too many questions, but I have a purpose in inquiring about the above things. In the first place R. W. R. do you really know what love is? The average girls of sixteen merely have what is called "puppy love"—they are simply infatuated because of certain attractive qualities in a man which, after they grow older, do not make an impression at all. Yet they often mistake this for love and find it isn't, just too late. Again I bring to your attention and to your parents, attention that in this century of alertness, progress and increasing knowledge, the modern girl who is able to withstand the temptations which arise, does well to take her mother into her confidence and depend to a great extent upon her judgment. Your mother is strict, you say—yet go to her and talk with her frankly and discuss you little problems with her, she is human at least and in time I'm sure she will see that her little girl, in perfectly natural sequence, has arrived at the age when her instincts lead her to seek the society of the opaque sex. If a girl isn't allowed to have company in her own home it is an established fact she is going to see this young man clandestinely. Mothers may as well wake up to this fact and face the situation and instead of causing the girl to act under cover by prohibiting her from having company—encourage free discussions and a pure and beautiful association between the two sexes. In this way quite a bit of the unhappiness existing in the lives of young girls and young men might be avoided). So my advice to you is to try to bring mother over to your side, by taking her into your confidence. But Stands For Rent Suburban Gardens PAGE TEN Dear Vee Tee Tee: will give excellent support to current gossip on the possibilities of this type of coat in gray and crayon colors. By night, all the day's suppressed brightness flames forth. Aside from the sparkle which is now taken for granted, two salient features of any gala gathering, are the prevalence of white and the absence of the ma uve chiffon frock which danced itself to death last season. Aside from the myraid white and the very few black frocks, pastel shades monopolize the floor, especially soft greens and pinky purples and a new soft blue. Self coloring in beads, decolleture, low at back, and the recurrence of the modernistic theme in decoration, are the points familiar enough to be well established, and worth watching. Most of the pale cloudy tints are employed by those who dance under southern skies and southern ceilings; but the emphasis, as in daytime, is on white and all the pink shades from flesh tints to warm rose. Although every glittering medium is present, silver and crystal seem to stand out as best expressing the mode of the moment. Lace has been rediscovered, it seems, especially for the dance frock and is delicately weighed with crystal beads. On the other hand white satin, brave with elaborate all-over embroideries, has a sparkle all its own. Those simple dance frocks of crepe Elizabeth or crepa roma which achieved so signal a success last season are again making a bid for favor. Aside from color, their interest lies in unusual drapings, panels or a low decolleture offset by a scarf of the fabric wound tightly about the neck. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE VISITS COOLIDGE The executive committee of the National Race Congress, a national organization of Negro Republicans, that held its annual convention in this city this week, called upon President Coolidge as to his attitude on the Dyer morning. In response to inquiries from the delidge at the White House on Tuesday Anti-lynching bill, the President declared that he was not antagonistic to the measure, as newspaper releases indicated, but that the interview that the result of a casual reference to bills pending, made to reporters with no particular intent to show any preference. The President invited a careful reading of his message to Congress from which one could ascertain his views, which he declared were amply set forth therein. With reference to the appointment of a minister to Liberia, the committee reports that he declared any rumours or publicity relative thereto to be without foundation; as Mr. Hood's resignation is not contemplated. Should the position be so vacated, Mr. Coolidge emphatically declared that his successor would be a Negro. The visiting committee was headed by W. A. Byrd of New Jersey, as chairman, and included Rev. Alexander C. Garner of New York, Miss Daisy Lampkins of Pittsburgh, W. H. Jernagin and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of Washington. don't be too sure that you love this young man. Look well. Washington, D.C. March 10, 1926 To the Editor of the Tribune.

MARTHA DOLEMAN 1213 S Street, N.W. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. MARCH 19. 1926 From the Melting Pot SYSTEM IN HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS How many women have system in managing their homes? Just as the man must, in order to assure success in his line of business, use a definite plan or system in carrying on the business of his office—so should a woman make her home a business, run on a strict systematical plan. Instead of planning only for a day or even perhaps a week, try planning a month or two, perhaps six months in advance. Every housewife can approximately tell about how her expenses are going to run, that is if she is thrifty and saving and does not expend more than the income. Don't expend all on the table today, as quite a few individuals do and all next week live upon bread and water. Plan so today that each day following may be equally balanced. Don't wait until the various bills are to be paid then scramble and hustle to pay them, or dodge to keep from paying them. All unpleasantness of the above character may be avoided if we housewives would give more thought to the business of our daily lives. Make a budget—allow so much for clothing, house rent, food, insurancees, pleasure, sickness, etc., and try as near as possible to live within the amount specified. Always plan a certain amount for banking purposes. Plan months ahead and in this way you will always know today whether you can afford that trip this summer, or whether you will be able to buy that handsome coat you saw downtown or renovate your old one or buy a more reasonable one. In this way you will not be embarrassed by putting your collectors off and making for yourself a bad name—but instead there will always be open hands to receive you—credit is unlimited if you are known as a good paying customer, and success is yours.

A new standard The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM New Works On Our Bookshelf By The Tribune Editors BOOK REVIEW "THE GOLDEN SQAW" "The Golden Sqaw," by Will W. Whalen, Dorrance Publishing Co. Philadelphia, Penn. Cloth $1.85, post- paid. This novel of the famous White Sqaw, Mary Jemison, stolen by the Senecas near Gettysburg in 1758, is a terrible arrangement of the treatment the Indians received from their "superior" white brother. In that respect, the book certainly takes its place beside Helen Hunt Jackson's "Ramona."

To this reviewer, the most appealing part was where the old colored ex-slave protected the beautiful fugitive from the vile love of the Holland trader, Van Sice. In the night with the Negro's assistance, the blond white Sqaw escaped into the trackless forests with her half-breed babe, while the brutal pale face trader lay snoring in drunken dreams. Next morning he cruelly beat the aged Negro, but that stamun hero would not even under the torture reveal whither Mary Jemison had fied. If we are any sort of prophet, that flight of Mary Jemison's into the stary April midnight will live as long as Eliza's same bitter struggle across the ice floes. This is the sort of book you read and don't give away; you re-read it and have your children read it. On the jacket appears finger prints with this caption: "Dorrance books get well thumbled." "The Golden Sqaw" certainly will be. As a product of the period when Negroes, Dutch and Indians were collaborating with the Quakers to create the present day Pennsylvanian, the writer finds the book an especially interesting addition to his library.

It may be the School Frat—the fraternal spirit based on the age-old traditions a professional fellowship, the camaraderie of employment, the hazard of one's vocation, the spirit of benevolence or just the pursuit of a hobby. The mere mention of the name of a club or other organization arouses a certain interest, if one likes the study of people and their pursuits. No matter what the distinction that may characterize any group, we are, after all, a sociable group.

JAMES LECOUNT CHESTNUT FORMER WASHINGTONIAN HEADS CREDIT BUREAU JAMES LECOUNT CHESTNUT FORMER WASHINGTONIAN HEADS CREDIT BUREAU James LeCount Chestnut, who left Washington some few years ago to become Eastern Manager of the Chicago Defender with offices in New York, has become president and general manager of the Domestic Credit Bureau, the pioneer credit reporting concern of the Race. The concern was chartered last week by the state of New York. Offices have been established at 2289 Seventh Avenue., New York City. The bureau has been established to provide reports upon insurance risks and credit stability. It is entirely Negro owned and managed. Already agencies have been established in twelve large cities with sub-divisions manned by competent inspectors in five states. The prime object of the concern is to provide rapid and accurate information upon Negro individuals and businesses. In a brief statement to the press, Mr. Chestnut said: "We feel that the Domestic Credit Bureau gives a service and fills a need that no other bureau now in existence can. Then again it is wholly owned and operated by our racial group. "Furthermore, we believe that the high grade Colored inspectors, which it employs, guided as they are by careful supervision, can give ample, exact, and accurate information such as insurance companies and business organizations sorely need. "Judging by the way in which the companies are responding to the Domestic Credit Bureau's announcement of opening for business, we cannot but feel that it is giving a type of inspection not furnished by service previously used." SUPREME LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY GROWING The Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio, a concern operating in the District of Columbia, and in many states, has released its annual statement. Assets of $63,438.34 are disclosed. This with a capital and surplus of $110,367.24 invested in a headquarters's property worth more than $24,000 and mortgages of more than a hundred thousand dollars value, together with the cash reserve of $23,876 indicates a very healthy condition for the young company. T. K. Gibson is the founder and president of the company.

Because of the ante ‘concerts it was thought best to launch a “tag day.” These tags were sent with a note to eee oe not the children. Tags are 5 ym priced. The idea is to get as much for them as possible and so the price may wary from 10 to 50 cents as the person is interested. Quite a bit of criticism has been heard concerning the honesty of the children. This was left to the parents. Scareely.a day goes by that some of us are not asked to buy something for the white school by the white chil- dren. The school would appreciate any help the older citizens would give. Re- ports of what other towns are doing for their school is indeed encouraging and it is to be hoped that some new interest wl soon be shown here. Eastern Star Cantata The Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, will render its Lenten Cantata, “Olivet to Calvary,” Wednes- day evening, March 31, 1926 at Metro- politan A. M. E.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1926 EAST TENNESSEE NEWS TO CELEBRATE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY In 1906, Knoxville, Tenn., had about five thousand Negro residents. Some of them are still there, along with the many thousand who have since made the town their home. One among those of 1906 was a youngster of eighteen, by the name of Webster Porter, who was just out of school, filled with the unconquerable nerve of youth with all of its optimism. Had he been older, perhaps, he would not have founded the East Tennessee News on so slim a circulation prospects. But being a youth he did. The paper is about to celebrate its twentieth anniversary, and is going to do so by issuing an anniversary number from its modernly equipped newspaper plant, installed in a $25,000 structure, the property of that same JOHN H. HARRIS WEBSTER PORTER, whose "Kid' enthusiasm developed a journalistic enterprise. WEBSTER PORTER, whose "Kid" enthusiasm developed a journalistic enterprise. youth, of course now grown older, and a bit more conservative, though just as ambitious as when he first adopted the town, asking neither consent nor approval. The approval, however, was earned as he went along establishing himself as not only a community asset but an influence in the fraternal and political life of the state. Now he is knocking at the door of national consequence, and, as an observer of some experience, we opine that the door will open wide before his mortal remains are laid away, for that fellow is but now in mid-life, has nation-wide connections, the respect of those who know him, and a personality that makes new friends for him upon contact. Traditions mean little to him. He wastes no time in getting what he wants. As soon as he had paid the first month's rent in his adopted home, he registered, joined the Masons, and had veted, all before his nineteenth birthday. These sins have long since been condoned, for he made good in every one of these activities.

Jackson BRIDE AND GROOM GIVEN BRILLIANT RECEPTION On Saturday evening March 13, the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. C, Cornelius Webb, 1773 T Street, Northwest was the scene of a brilliant reception tendered in honor of the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Howard R. Williams. The guests were received by Mrs. Ruth Peyton and presented to those of the receiving line by Mr. Ralph Quarls, namely: Mrs. Cornelius Webb, Mrs. Cornelia Webb Williams, Mr. Howard R. Williams, Mrs. Lucille Clark, Mrs. Thomas Crisp, Miss Alice Bell, Miss Corinne Whitmore, Mr. Walter C. Ellis. The bride, Mrs. Cornelia Webb, was gowned in white brocaded velvet and georgette, having a full circular skirt, wearing white satin slippers with rhinestone buckles and carrying a shower bouquet of pink roses, while the bride's mother, Mrs. C. C. Webb, waftractively gowned in silver brocaded cloth with rhinestone trimmings and wearing silver slippers; Mrs. Lucille Clark, aunt of the groom was gowned in black beaded georgette; Mrs. Thomas Crisp of Philadelphia, aunt of the bride, wore a beaded coral georgette gown; Miss Alice Bell wore a soft green georgette gown with green satin slippers to correspond; Miss Corinne Whitmore was apparalled in a tan and blue gown, having a tan lace embroidered bodice with silver kid slippers. The guests numbering over 200 were ushered by attendants into the decorated dining room where a delightful three-course menu was served. Misses Orleans Batiste and Isabelle Miller presided at the punch bowl. Instrumental and vocal selections were rendered by the talented artists, Misses Josephine Muse, Elnorist Young and Mr. Rex Overton. The bridal chamber was literally covered with hundreds of beautiful gifts and telegrams of congratulations as evidence of the popularity and esteem in which the bride and groom are held by their friends. liam Allen White editing a paper out in Emporia, Kansas, who has placed that small town on the map of journalism. He is a white man and his laurels seem the natural prerequisite for his opportunity, but this Negro in handicap and hazard that obstructs Negro progress, threatens White's prestige with an even greater achievement. He is putting over both a paper and a people. We shall look forward with pleasure to reviewing that promised 48 pages of the anniversary issue of the East Tennessee News; for, with Porter's pluck, ambition and ability, it is bound to be an issue worthy of the craft of journalism.

PRESIDENCY OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY The recent resignation of J. Stanley Durkee as president of Howard University to take effect at the close of the present school year, leaves Howard University seeking his successor. The choice of a president is to be made by the Trustee Board, we trust after taking into serious consideration the wishes of both the public and those more directly connected with the institution as teachers, officials and alumni. Howard University is more or less a public institution by reason of its financial support by Congress and the additional fact that it is looked upon as our one great institution of higher learning. In the selection of the new president, therefore, it is hoped that the Trustee Board will consider carefully every angle of the institution's present difficulties, past experiences, and future possibilities. Much of the university's progress and many of its difficulties have resulted either from the qualifications, or the lack of qualifications, of its more recent presidents. Being now practically confined to the education of a particular group, Howard University affords important and peculiar problems that do not of necessity present themselves in truly all-American institutions of like character. The man selected to head Howard University should therefore be a man who is not only qualified to know the history of its peculiar problems, and capable of feeling its problems, but one who can to the greatest extent, solve its problems, and interpret the institution to the world. It cannot be denied that big business grows from the bottom. Great executives of great institutions have been once small hands in small institutions. Such men possess not only the knowledge of the various lines and stages of progress but possess that which is more valuable to any institution (Howard being no exception) the love for, the devotion to, and the faith in, that which their thought, effort, brain and sacrifice have helped create. Howard University has had five presidents in about twenty-five years, an average of five years each. Such frequent changes of headship and inevitable changes of policies do not tend toward the improvement of the institution. No man can formulate plans and policies and successfully see them through to success in such a short period of time. Hardly has each had time to become acquainted with the personnel, the problems, and the purposes of the institution before for one reason or another, he has resigned. These changes indicate another important factor in the matter of selection of a president. The person selected should be one to whom it would be the maximum of his attainment rather than the mere temporary sojourn on a step to a supposed higher, or at least a more lucrative, position. It is but human to aspire for higher positions and greater honor, and it is likewise but human to cleave closer to, and serve better in, the position which is looked upon as the utmost top. The man selected for the Presidency of Howard University should be one who is so identified with the people he endeavors to serve as to both feel their sufferings and interpret their hopes and needs. Certainly, as the half-witted boy in school told his teacher in a lesson in astronomy, "The man in the moon knows more about the moon than all the astronomers on earth." The man selected should be one whose pedagogical knowledge and experience fit him to command the respect of the faculty, the student body, the alumni and the public. The Tribune feels, that the one man who meets all of the requirements, and whose selection would meet with the warm approval of the students, faculty, alumni and public, is Dean Kelly Miller, who has been a teacher and dean at Howard University for a third of a century, and whose name is almost synonymous with Howard University throughout this and other dances. He is a man who has had enough faith in his own institution to PAGE FOUR --- Washington, D.C., by BUBLISHING COMPANY, Incorporated Phone, Potomac 1667 July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at the Act of March 3, 1879 President Managing Editor Associate Editor Circulation Manager Six Months, $1.25.

DOES BEING A NEGRO CONDONE MEDIOCRITY? All persons of our race who aspire to be writers—or as we say nowadays, aspire to "literary self-expression"—should read and ponder an editorial in the March issue of "Opportunity," under the heading, "A Note on the New Literary Movement." We say all who aspire to write, because the article is directed especially to them, but there is really no branch of modern activity or livelihood to which the criticisms and warnings of the article will not apply. Those of us who are in a position to compare the literary output of both white and colored people in the same walks of life—school children, collegians, teachers, professional men and women and even professors—know all too well how well founded are the misgivings and the solicitude of the writer in "Opportunity." Concerning this new literary movement, he says: "For if this awakening is to be a sound, wholesome expression of growth . . . it must somehow be preserved from the short-sighted exploiters of sentiment; from the intermediate and prematurely triumphant ones who think that Negro writers have fully arrived; from those superficial ones, inebriate with praise and admission to the company of writers, who are establishing by acceptance, a double standard of competence as a substitute for normal rewards of study and practice, and in many instances, lack of talent." It is the last clause, containing the words which we have emphasized, that chiefly arrests our attention. What the writer meant by the double standard he explains in later paragraphs. A short extract may make the matter reasonably plain. He says: "One very good example of the acceptance of this double standard is the belief of certain of our recent writers that the fact of being a Negro condones mediocrity of accomplishment, and that there is a sufficient virtue in being the best Negro writer. They boast of notable contracts possible when white men of similar talents would be lost in the competition of the white world." Truly does the writer say that this notion "has an element of grave danger in it," not only for the literary profession but for all other professions and activities. Surely everyone within our group who is willing to speak frankly must admit that as a general proposition we do not demand nor expect the highest class of service or output from workers and practitioners of our race. There are notable and gratifying exceptions, but the rule is what we have stated. Lack of opportunity is often cited as an excuse or explanation; and in many cases it may justly be pleaded. But in very many cases, especially as to purely literary matters, such an explanation is not admissible. For example, take the many students in our higher institutions of learning who need not and do not "work their way." What advantage or what additional opportunities have any students anywhere, over these students in our higher schools? But do our students, generally, or for that matter, our professors and teachers, show results comparable to white students and teachers similarly placed? If not, why not? WHOSE WORK ARE THEY DOING? Why are Melvin J. Chisum and A. L. Holsey interested in the dismissal of W. L. Jones, chief engineer at the United States hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama? What institution or person, or persons, is or are providing the necessary funds for Chisum and Holey to remain in Washington, entertain lavishly and lobby against the restoration of Jones to duty? Who provided the funds for the publication of a pamphlet purporting to be a faithful narrative of the facts in the controversy between Dr. J. H. Ward, medical officer in charge of the Tuskegee hospital, and Jones? Who hired Chisum to visit Tuskegee work himself into the confidence of Jones and then violate that confidence by the filing of charges with the Veterans Bureau resulting in the suspension of Jones from duty? The public will not be misled by the subterfuge that the activities of Chisum are in the interest of an all-Negro personnel at the Tuskegee hospital. His history affords too many of the characteristics of "hustlerati" to warrant unreserved confidence in his statements. He is known as a propagandist par excellence. Holsey's close association with him at this time gives rise to the question as to why? A Woman's Point of By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS THAT NEGRO BARBER SHOP BILL Put this down, Southerners are not uncolective, dislike it, nor hymnitit. It is a noticeable matter that Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, should champion the cause of Haiti, in the United States Senate, while Senator Wadsworth, Republican, of New York City should oppose even the putting into the congressional record the protest of the Haitian people as voiced by so eminent a person as their former charge de affairs here. Senator Wadsworth says the charges against our government are "offensive," but he does not say they are untrue. The colored voters of New York are due to ask Senator Wadsworth a few questions. THE BASIS OF INDEPENDENCE Labor is the basis of wealth. Commerce is the process of its distribution. Circumstances have developed our industrial character in so far as basic labor is concerned. By force of necessity, virtually all of our group are laborers. Capitalism is a thing apart for most of us. Education in its material application is intended to make possible the accumulation of sufficient wealth to improve our condition in life. But somehow we fail to learn that THRIFT as such is not the whole basis of wealth. Commercialism, the buying and selling of goods, the distribution of service and the operation of business, either large or small, is the connecting link between labor and luxury. It constitutes the broad middle ground that must be covered if we are ever to be wealthy, or nearly so. Pursuit of higher education has prompted many of us to try to jump from one extreme to the other with no regard for the wide intervening space. In Washington alone, 25,480 supporting heads of families in our group support 126,000 dependents and spend $25,480,000 annually. The average retail profit is 19 per cent, varying with the different lines of business. There are Negroes engaged in practically every known line. If the earnings of our group were spent with their own merchants, $4,841,200 would be added to the Race wealth each year in Washington. Of course, no such 100 per cent ideal is to be expected. But, the sooner advance is made toward the more adequate support of Negroes who survey commodities and service, (of course we refer to offerings equal in value to general market offerings at similar prices), the sooner we, as a group, may have the capital with which to be self sustaining. More of this, and there would be little further need of the army of beggars, who, masquerading as Race leaders, are constantly employed in begging from other people to finance our schools, hospitals, and social institutions to the continued sacrifice of whatever dignity the Negro might otherwise have. Sustaining our own businesses would provide us with a class who could sustain our political office holders and others who from time to time suffer from the impositions of those who finance the institutions referred to. We would then be able to "call the tunes" for ourselves. When, Oh, when will our educators quit "kidding" our youths with the fiction of education? And when will we all begin to show sense enough to know that as long as none among us have wealth, that all of us will be despised by the other citizens of the land? "RACE INTEGRITY" BILL FAILS IN VIRGINIA The Richmond (Va.) daily papers of last Saturday contained brief accounts of the final defeat of the so-called racial integrity bill. The Times-Dispatch said: "The racial integrity bill which passed the House, met death last night in the Senate when a motion to postpone indefinitely was adopted by a vote of 20 to 9. A motion to reconsider was rejected, and thus a matter that has caused more debate than any other measure considered by the General Assembly at this session was considered to the scrap heaps." (The votes of eleven senators were not recorded.) The Massenburg bill requiring the separation of the races in all public assemblages, passed both houses of the legislature, the previous week. The latter bill was aimed especially at Hampton Institute. MISS GRANT ENTERAINS MELIANTHES CLUR "The Melianthas," were entertained Friday 12, by Miss Henrietta Grant at her residence, 323 T Street, Northwest.

The guests were the Misses Adelaide Webb, Clementine Wormley and Messrs. Birchard Allen, Linwood Welch, Robert Washington, and Norman Jarin. Refreshments were served. A Woman's Point of View By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS THAT NEGRO BARBER SHOP BILL Put this down, Southerners are not apologetic, diplomatic nor hypocritical in dealing with the Negro question. You know where they are "at." They are outspoken when it is time to speak—out-acting when it is time to act—down-writing when it is time to write, and outrageous when it is time to rage. Right or wrong, that's the South in its present state of civilization. Perhaps you have read the deliverance on this bill, quoted below. It is hot. It comes from the anvil of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate, official organ of the Southern Methodists of Georgia. The Atlanta Constitution seconds the motion and the press of the South registers a record-breaking vote against the ordinance and demands its repeal. Who would have thought it? But the South rages when it rages. Discrimination is getting a black eye from its maker and devotee—the South. Put on your specs and read for yourself. It seems incredulous. Here is what is down written: "It is an attempt of one class of men to capitalize prejudice to their own material advantage. It is the rankest kind of injustice. Every member of every white barbers' union that had any part in advocating this law ought to hang his head in crimson shame.

HOWARD ANSWERS HIS ACCUSERS The attack upon him last Wednesday in the House was inspired by "illy-white" Republicans for the purpose of having him sheared of his prerogatives as a member of the Republican National Committee, Perry W. Howard declared in a statement last Monday. The attack was made on the floor of the House by Representative Jeff Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi, who introduced a resolution calling upon the Attorney General to transmit to the House the report of two agents of the Department of Justice with reference to the handling of patronage in Mississippi. Mr. Howard charged that Mr. Busby's simply the tool of "lily-white" Republicans and disappointed office-seekers, and is connected with the dying Vardaman faction in the Democratic party in Mississippi, which has always believed in riding into office by an appeal to racial prejudice. "I am sure," Mr. Howard said, "that people generally understand, I as National Committeeman would be opposed in the handling of patronage by this element of people, who believe that the only position for a Negro is that of a merial." Federal Patronage Mr. Howard admitted that all matters of Federal patronage in Mississippi are referred to him for a recommendation. This practice is followed by the Republican party in every state which has no Republican Senators so far as he is advised, Mr. Howard explained. His recommendations, he said, are always predicated upon the recommendation of the local county organization of the county in which the office lies, without respect to the race or color of the heads of those beat a small cripple from the streets in order that he might have the whole business opportunity that they offered would be in the same class. In comparison with white people, the Negro is a disadvantaged race. That his competitors should seek to drive him from the field is an outrageous violation of human rights. "If white barbers cannot meet black competition then they ought to retire from the field like men and confess themselves beaten. To call upon a white government to come to their rescue and drive from the field those who in fair competition are securing some of that trade that they covet is to take an unworthy advantage. Fight fairly, win honestly." The Wesleyan forgot to add: "I hope these few lines will find you well." When the Atlanta Constitution stood up so as to strike it straight, it became felicitously prophetic in the peroration of its editorial and declared: "It will be a happy day for Atlanta, and for this great state founded upon the bedrock of individual justice, when the bigotry of ignorance and prejudice, and the designing capitalization of these destructive elements, shall have been driven from the life of the commonwealth." Don't despair, in sixty years from now, the South will come back into the Praise God from whom all bless-Union and become a part of the United States. Galloway (Falls Church, Va.; A. M. E.

Tibbs, conductor, gave an interesting program in the Rankin Memorial Chapel last Wednesday at noon, with Leonard Smith, tenor, and Lester Dorsey, barytone, in incidental solos. Roy W. Tibbs, with magic personality, draws out the organ-like chords with expressive contrasts in etherealized harmonies from the male voices and lifts them to mighty climaxes or descends to caressing pianissimo with ease. The music was charming and the singing possessed quality with a rich and vibrant effectiveness that was pleasing. Howard may well feel proud of this year's glee club because it ranks with the best they have produced in former years even though Hembry and Major, great favorites, and possibly, others are absent. Burleigh's "Just You," and "Her Rose," by Coombs, gave both Smith and Dosey, respectively, a brief opportunity to disclose their mellow and musical voices. No doubt exists in our mind that Dorsey has a natural voice of such quality as to lend enchantment and beauty to all his singing. Levington Smith's voice is none-the less charming for its richness and mellow sanctity. It awakens affection in its search depth and yearning, under its uncanny influence of melting melody. The Glee Club left us a joy that should enter into all our art, more especially in "Bliss," "A Plainsmen's Song" and "My little banjo" by Dichmont. Other numbers included "Summer Evening" (Palmgren), "Firefies" (Russian folk song), "Chit-Chat" (Mofat), and "The Blizzard" by Cadman. county organizations. A majority of these chairmen and secretaries of county organizations, he said, are colored. Mr. Howard also declared that in every instance he requires an affidavit from the person recommended that he or she has paid no consideration to anyone in connection with the appointment. This is done he said, for his protection against just such charges as were made by Mr. Busby. Two investigations into the alleged sale of post offices in Mississippi have been made. The first was made by postal inspectors under the direction of the Postmaster General. The other was made by agents of the Department of Justice. Following the investigation by the Post Office Department, Mr. Howard received a letter from Postmaster General New, under date of January 31, 1925, in which he is advised that "There is no reason as revealed by the report in question why your position as member of the Republican National Committee should be adversely affected, but on the contrary I feel that I should say that the report really does you credit." The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday voted unanimously to report adversely the resolution introduced in the House on Wednesday, March 10 by Representatvie Jeff Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi, calling upon the Attorney General to transmit the report of two agents of the Department of Justice who investigated charges that Federal offices in Mississippi were being sold. The action of the Judiciary Committee is regarded as an exoneration of Perry W. Howard, National Committeeman for Mississippi upon whose recommendation all Federal appointments in Mississippi are made. The National Association of Wage Earners Incorporated Miss Nannie H.

The National Association of Wage Earners is taking on a truly national character insofar as membership is concerned. Applications are being registered from every part of the country. Since a large part of the workers are unskilled, training is the keynote to success. The week has witnessed several additional applicants for training as maids The school specializes in the service of dinner parties, luncheons, and the like. The housekeeper is making the headquarters a demonstration exhibit of the possibilities in this direction and invites a "lift" from members. This is especially desirable because the visiting list is growing each week. These visitors mean additional channels of employment, as a rule. The_Sunday School Union and the Christian Endeavor Society have both been progressing with religious activities at the building. BOARD OF EDUCATION ON DEFENSE AT HEARING (Continued from page 1) pressing for statements by him of progressive board of education work he had accomplished, Dr. Bennett said so far as he is concerned he did not seek membership on the board and he is ready to resign if requested. Mr. Reid required Dr. Bennett to go thoroughly into the "real reason" why the Board of Education demoted Capt. Arthur C. Newman as principal of Armstrong Technical High School. Evidently not impressed by Dr. Bennett's explanation, Mr. Reid requested Representative Houston of Delaware to make a thorough investigation of the Newman case and report back to the committee. During Dr. Bennett's explanation of the Newman case the members of the subcommittee and the audience were convulsed with laughter when Mr. Houston asked Dr. Bennett if it took the Board of Education six years to find out that Capt. Newman should be demoted and if they then did not give him a position where he evidently should possess as much administrative ability as at Armstrong where he was charged with being lacking in this respect. Specifically asked what he had to say to the charges made before the subcommittee by colored residents that the colored members of the board merely "fill chairs and smile," Dr. Bennett said that so far as he is concerned he always is ready to lend an attentive ear to complaints of his people. Charles A. Marshall, representing the Colored Business Men's Association and the People's Protest League, voiced the opinion that it would be impossible for the city to have "worse colorchief members on the board." Mr. Marshall went back to the organization of colored schools, and cited specific incidents to prove that an appointive school board has failed for 64 years and it is time to try an elective board. He volunteered to cooperate with Mr. Houston in his investigation of the Newman demotion. Edwin Scott, a citizen, suffered at the hands of the representatives as he testified. Others who attended and testified were Mrs. Anna Murray, Mrs. Rachel Bell, Counsellor W. H, H. Hart, Charles A. Marshall and Elzie S. Hoffman, each representing an organization interested in school and community welfare. Mr. Hoffman is President of the Barry Farms Association. GETS "Y" MONEY WITH ENTER TAINING SOCIAL EVENTS Mrs. S. S. Thompson of 1937 R Street, one of the patrons for the Y. W. C. A. drive for funds, aided very materially in making the drive a success. On Wednesday, March 10, she gave a benefit dance in the studio of her residence. On Friday, March 12, she gave a benefit "500" party. While the scores were being taken, refreshments were sold. Seventy-two guests attended and were seated at eighteen tables. There were nineteen prizes all of which were donated by those interested in the drive.

CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL ARE NAMED (Continued from page 1) Beason stated his platform in a single word, "Service." He said that he would stand for reelection on his record and continue to give service if returned to council membership. Opposes Gasque Bill William H. Lewis announced opposition to the Gasque school bill "in that it sets up discrimination in the manner of voting for members; that it leaves the matter of appropriations as at present, thereby affording no material change in the system as operated, and that it contains no clause that would prevent a member of Congress from being elected to the board of education, who would make the school law and also administer it." He favored absolute suffrage for citizens of the District, but opposed such compromise on absolute suffrage as, he said, the Gasque bill offered. With reference to blue laws, he stated his belief in encouragement of wholesome outdoor Sunday amusement, and adequate regulation of Sunday indoor amusement that it might not interfere with activities of religious organizations. Favors Boxing Bouts Here Hoffman favored representation of the District in Congress, with educational and property qualifications; a municipal board of examiners for public schools, and promotion within the school system on the basis of longevity and residence. He also advocated limited boxing bouts in the District, and said, "If John Coolidge can get mauled in Massachusetts with impunity, there is no reason for a District citizen going to a nearby State to see a mill." City beautification, free branch public libraries in the suburbs, a fully developed legislative advisory council, were also in his platform. SOUTHERN AID REPORTS BIG INCREASE (Continued from page 1) annual income, is in itself an interesting disclosure. It tells of a liberal policy toward employees, of fair and unselfish reward for labor and an appreciation of the work of its staff. Likewise it shows that the Society is marketing policies that are genuinely salable. Salable because of the strength and merit behind the whole organization. A liability item of $25,819.79 marked, "deposits of employees," indicates a confidence on the part of the employees that is as excellent as it is unusual. The thrift of the employees are being prepared for more responsible places in life and to be able to accept opportunity when it may, knock at their respective doors. Analyzing any financial statement is an interesting occupation, and to scrutinize the fiscal report of a Negro organization that is so replete with prosperity is indeed a pleasing task. To those who think in terms of genuine Race progress, Southern Aid becomes a harbinger of a great future. MEMORIAL SERVICES PRAISE MILHOLLAND AID TQ NEGRO New York, March 15—Memorial services for John E. Milholland, one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, were held last Sunday afternoon at St. James' Presbyterian Church. Tributes to Mr. Milholland's devotion to the cause of the Negro race were paid in addresses by Dr. Emmet J. Scott, secretary of Howard University; the Rev. John Haynes, Holmes pastor of the New York Community Church; Andrew B. Humphreys, secretary of the Men's National Republican Club of New York; Dr. William A. Sinclair, member of the N. A. A. C. I. board of directors; Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, editor of "The Crisis," and Miss Mary White Owington, chair man of the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors. Dr. Scott urged that a bronze or marble memorial be placed in a suitable spot as a permanent memorial to Mr. Milholland. Praising the philanthropist for his humanitarianism, and likening his heart to a "spiritual seismograph whose heart quivered in sympathy and understanding whenever the hearts of oppressed people stirred with misery," Mr.-Holmes said: "We need more abolitionists in America of Milholland's type. Most of us in this generation have forgotten that the Negro is not yet free and his cry for help falls on unheeding ears." COMMUNICATION FROM PA TRIOTIC UNION OF HAITI REJECTED BY SENATE A memorandum by Perceval Thoby, former Haitian charge d' affaires at Washington, and who represents the 61 committees of private citizens, residents of Haiti, who are members of what is called "the Patriotic Union" of Haiti, was referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations upon the suggestion of Senator William H King, Democrat, of Utah, after Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Republican, of New York, had indicated that he would move to expunge it from the record if it should be inserted. After the memorandum was read in the Senate, Senator Wadsworth objected to its insertion in the record on the ground that "it contains some extraordinary bitter demenions of the policies of the United States Government involving, among other things, the charge that the United States through its policy has spread vice and corruption in the other country, and charging our Government and its agents with brutality to an extreme degree. Coming as it does from a foreigner, from a citizen or subject of another power, to me at least it is offensive." Deplorable Conditions During the debate on whether or not it could be received by the Senate, Senator King declared that he stood sponsor for many of the statements contained in the memorandum. He said that he stood sponsor for the statement that "the United States has superimposed upon Haiti a government which the people do not want; that the United States compelled the abrogation of the constitution which had been in force for many years and forced upon the Haitian people another constitution under which aliens are permitted to acquire real property in Haiti, contrary to the provisions of the superseded constitution; also the statement which, in effect, is that General Russell is practically the dictator and the ruler of Haiti, backed by the marines of the United States; also the statement that hundreds, if not thousands, of the Haitians are leaving Haiti because of the conditions there prevailing, largely due to the occupation by the United States of their country; also the statement that a large area of valuable arable lands of Haiti formerly belonging to Haitians has been acquired by Americans and American interests, in contravention of the constitution by which the Haitians were governed when our naval forces took possession of the Haitian State. And I also approve the statement, or the deductions from the statement, that we have no business in Haiti and should immediately withdraw our marines and let the Haitian people have a government of their own. "I sponsor the statement that for years the Haitians have not had a constituent assembly or a parliament and that Borno, the so-called president, is the nominal executor, but is under General Russell, who is supported by our marines, and that Borno has a council, the personnel of which he changes whenever any member of the same is not amenable to his slightest suggestion." Senator King stated that it is probable that he will ask for an investigation of conditions in Haiti by the Committee on Foreign Relations. DUNBAR NOTES Debating the topic, "Resolved: That the states should limit the right of suffrage to persons who can read and write" the Sophomore debating squad defeated the Freshman team in the first of three interclass debates to be held at Dunbar this year. The decision was unanimous. The Sophomores, who defended the affirmative side of the question, proved that present conditions demand such restriction of the illiterate vote; that the literacy tests would induce the voter to educate himself, and that such qualification is in keeping with the principles of the Constitution. The Freshman argued that restriction of the right of suffrage would abridge the right of citizenship; that one does not have to be literate in order to vote understandingly, and that such restriction would be undemocratic and unconstitutional. The affirmative speakers were: Artemia Gibson, Dorothy Henry, Edna Burke, and Elise Fletcher. Those of the negative were: Hattie Brooks, Florence Williams, Ellen Johnson, and Anita Smith. Two other interclass debates are to be staged in the Dunbar auditorium this month. The first will be between the Junior and Senior squads, and the second between the winners of the two preceding contests. A silver loving cup will be awarded the winning team, and another, the best individual debator. A full uniformed regimental parade, followed by a review, will be the cadet program for Tuesday, March 23rd, at 3:30, on what is to be in the Dunbar stadium. The cadets will be reviewed by the Military instructors. Lieutenant' Colonel Harvard Brown with his immediate staff. The 24th regiment will establish a precedent this year by beginning a yearly Military Journal, Pictures, essays, interviews, and unique advertisements will be some of its most interesting features. The 24th regiment won third place in the Third Corps Area Intercollegiate Rifle match which closed February 17th. All schools which have military training as a part of their curriculum in the states of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and District of Columbia were represented. Among the musical attractions at Dunbar during the past two weeks have been the programs given at the noonday assemblies. The numbers presented were: "Minnetonka," sung by Elise Quarles; "Macheta," sung by "Chant," violin solos, by Maurice Jones; "Souvenir" and "Serenade" saxophone selections by Elma Toyer, the group, "For You Alone," "Testerday and Today," and "My Lord What a Morning," sung by Ballar Majors, member of the Howard University Glee Club. The girls of section D-8 gave a musical and literary program, Friday after the seventh hour, in the assembly hall, for the purpose of revealing the talent of the section. The students taking part were: Janet Foster, Ethel Sanders, Ruby Ruffin, Wyncra Overton, Ethel Easley, Elise Quarles, Nettie Brooker, and Edith Payton. "High schools papers are far better than college papers of a generation ago and better than most newspapers throughout the country," were the inspiring words of a speech made by Julian G. Mason, Managing Editor of the Herald-Tribune, in his address at the first meeting of the Columbia Press Contest and Convention held in New York, March 12-13. Such were the echoes of the convention brought back to Dunbar by Mollie Brooks and Randall Evans. Twelve loving cups were awarded the winners of the contest of secondary school newspapers and magazines. Running and guessing games were the features of the entertainment given Freshman girls by members of the Fleur-de-lis Club on Friday, March 12. The girls entered into the games with enthusiasm. Prizes were awarded to those making the best guesses Elaine Washington and Ethel Easley aroused some of the spirit of Dunbar in the girls by teaching them school songs. Rosa Montgomery, Dorothy Houston, Ethel Easley, Hannah Nash, Marion Ferrebee, Garice Booker, and Fannie Pitt, sponsors of the girls, gave brief talks on some of the ideals of Dunbar. ACQUITTED OF MURDER James Theodore O'Neill was acquitted of second degree murder Tuesday afternoon before Judge Bailey in Criminal Court No. 1.

Jones, chief engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., who declined to resign by request of bureau officials. Mr. Jones has been under suspension since October 12, 1925. He was suspended upon charges made by Melvin J. Chisum, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association, following a visit to the Tuskegee hospital. Mr. Chisum charged him with disloyalty to the hospital administration and conspiring to bring about the removal of Dr. J. H. Ward, medical officer in charge of the hospital. On February 11, last, Mr. Jones was requested to submit his resignation. Under date of February 26, last, he advised General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, that he could not comply with the demand for his resignation. Since then the Veterans Bureau has taken no action in the case. The vacillation on the part of the Veterans Bureau brought forth from Mr. Chisum, who has been in the city with A. L. Hosey, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, the assertion that there are individuals in the Veterans Bureau who are in sympathy with Mr. Jones and "are using their positions in the Bureau to discredit the administration of the hospital by Negroes. For such bureau officials," Mr. Chisum said, "the plots and schemes of Jones and his associates are a constant source of material." Chisum Derides Jones Mr. Chisum in his statement with regard to the Tuskegee hospital situation also denounced Mr. Jones as a real "Eugeneger Jones." He said: "I have been reluctant to expose to public gaze the sinister character of Jones in the hope that he would quietly resign and leave Tuskegee. My reason for making public the report at this time is because he threatens, in order to try to save himself, to destroy innocent friends of the Tuskegee hospital and has contrived with the aid of certain unscrupulous persons to prepare and disseminate false and exaggerated statements to carry out his scheme. "Jones is in every way the counterpart of 'Emperor Jones.' Today he is a broken, pathetic figure, pursued by the 'tom-toms' of wickedness and defended schemes, Blindly, foolishly, he has stumbled over the trail from Boley to Tuskegee, and as these lines are written he is in Washington. In desperation he flees vainly from himself, momentarily expecting that fatal 'silver bullet' of truth which will destroy him. Fear, the relentless tribunal of the soul pursues him by day and torments him through sleepless nights. "The helpless, hunted look which he wears tells the inevitable story of the man of fettered faith in greed and malice who awakes too late to find that the struggle against right is futile and hopeless in the end." treatment containing 5 rooms and separate heating plants, sep- Northwest location.

PAGE FIVE NORTHWEST SECTION NOW OFFERS EXCELLENT HOME BUYING OPPORTUNITIES The advertising appearing on this page, indicates an unusually wide assortment of home offerings all over the District; The exodus to country places may many former residents of the northwest part of the District provides some very exceptional chances for those who prefer to purchase a completed home rather than to accept the difficulties of selecting a site and supervising the construction of a house. The established place has an especial appeal because one unfamiliar with blue prints, estimates, etc., can see just what he is getting, and readily note just how near it comes to meeting the desires of the purchaser. So varied are the offerings at present that any taste may be met by almost any live reality agent from his list. Financial terms, too, seem to be quite favorable, to the person of limited means, and to those who propose to have the property help to "pay its way" into clearance from incumbrance. CAUTION! Many people who should advertise and don't—remind one of the Georgia cracker. Barfooted, he sat on the steps of his tumbledown shack, smoking a corn cob pipe. A stranger stopped for a drink of water. Wishing to be agreeable, he said: "How is your cotton coming on?" "Ain't got none," said the cracker. Didn't you plant any?" asked the stranger. "Nope," said the cracker; "fraid o' boll weevils." "Well," said the stranger, "how is your corn?" Didn't plant none," said the cracker, "fraid there won't goin' to be no rain." The stranger was abashed, but cheerful still. "Well, how are your potatoes?" he asked. "Ain't got none," said the cracker; "scairt o' potato bugs." "Well, what did you plant?" said the stranger. "Nothin'," said the cracker, "I just played safe."

ALCOESWIN FIRST GAME IN SERIES FROM CHAMPIONS ALCOESWIN FIRST GAME IN SERIES FROM CHAMPIONS In a fast and furious game, Judge Smith's Alcoes defeated the Carlisles, last year's winners of the District basketball championship, by a score of 16 to 15. The game was played in the Lincoln Colonnade on Tuesday night. Guarding Close In the first half, both teams were careful in their playing. The guarding was close. Neither team took any chances. The Alcoes made only 7 points, while the Carlisles were held to the low score of 3 points. Both teams played desperately in the second half for the victory. Van Harris opened with a shot from the foul-line. Braddick made good a free throw, and Eddie Davis came through with a field goal making the count, 8 to 6. Eddie Davis then tied the score with a 'field goal, and a few minutes later, worked his way under the basket and shot, putting the Carlisles ahead by 2 points. To keep from blowing, Judge Smith's charges took out time. A double foul by Trigg and Smith, with Trigg making one out of two free tosses good and Smith making his one shot good, sent the count to 11 to 9. Whitted fouled on Jones, who added one point to the Carlisles' lead. A personal foul for roughness was called on E Davis. He missed his free throw. Van Harris worked his way down the floor and tossed a field goal from under the basket. "Soup" Turner came through with a field goal and sent the Alcoes to the lead by a count of 13 to 12. Eddie Davis shot a field goal, giving the Carlisles a 14 to 13 lead. "Soup" Turner made a good free throw. Captain Dick Graves glided down the floor and made what proved to be the winning basket, making the count 16 to 14. There was but a minute and a half to play. The Alcoes began freezing. Eddie Davis got a free throw and made the final point of the game. There was but a half minute to play, and the Alcoes made the most of it in a struggle, not to score again, but to prevent their opponents from counting. The two teams were eventually matched, but the Alcoes had better team work. The Carlisles proved to be a one-man team. When Eddie Davis could not break through, they failed to score. The Alcoes proved that any any man on their team is dangerous, particularly Trigg and Turner, and even the veteran Dick Graves came through in a pinch. In the preliminary game, the Elite Panthers defeated the Appottomox club by a score of 16 to 13. The second game of the Carlisles-Alcoes series will be played Tuesday night. The Carlisles must win the next two games in order to retain the title. A victory by the Alcoes will end the series. L'Ouvertures Defeat Shiloh The L'Ouverture A. C. defeated the Shiloh at the Y. M. C. A. on Monday by the score 18-13. The Shiloh put a game fight but the all-round floor work of the L'Ouverture dribblers counted in the end.

Puryear, president of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, expresses the opinion that the differences between Howard University and the organization of which he is the head, should be adjusted. He denies, however, that there are any negotiations being conducted to bring about this adjustment. A statement that such negotiations were underway was made in a press release from Howard University. It was proposed in this column that the differences between Howard University and the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association should be submitted for adjustment to a board of arbitration. Opinions of leaders in scholastic sports were sought. Last week an analysis of the differences as written by Dr. Edwin B. Henderon, president of the Eastern Board of Football Officials and athletic director of the public schools of the District of Columbia, was published. It is being followed this week by the personal opinion of Mr. Puryear. NO NEGOTIATIONS Calling attention to the fact that it was stated in this column that negotiations were being prosecuted, the result of which would mean the resumption of athletic relations between Lincoln University and member institutions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Lincoln University would engage in athletic contests with Howard, Mr. Puryear says: "In the absence of any information which would lead me to think that any such negotiations are in process, I must remain interested and greatly concerned. What might have been regarded as negotiations to resume athletic relations between Lincoln University and member institutions of The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association were discontinued in the remote past. I am without any knowledge that would lead me to think that negotiations had been recently reopened covering this point. WILL DEAL FAIRLY "I want to take this opportunity to state that the place of influence and athletic prowess that Howard University held in the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association remains unoccupied. It is my opinion that Howard University would be welcomed back into the ranks of The Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. I am disposed to think that it will be the continued policy of the C. I. A. A. to deal fairly with Howard University on the ground that it has no valid ground or reason to deal otherwise. I am convinced that the misunderstanding between Howard University and the C. I. A. A. CAN and SHOULD be adjusted. The development of athletics among our group means infinitely more than any satisfaction that may be derived from any petty misunderstanding or seeming difference. The development of athletics among our racial group is a serious business. Men who are entrusted with this development should so consider it. "In this letter I have expressed my personal opinion. There does not seem to me to be any tenable reason why this whole matter cannot be adjusted and the happy fellowship be continued between the institutions. The athletes who engage in these contests are missing a wholesome contact which is their heritage. They have been deprived of it long enough. What can be done to adjust the matter should be done." Carlisles Conquer the EasternLeagueMoguls Vandals Meet captain. By Felix Walker The Carlisle basketers defeated the Vandals, of Atlantic City, at the Lincoln Colonnade on Thursday night, March 11, by a score of 18-27. When the game started every body thought it would be a walk away for the Vandals, but the last minute of play proved just the opposite. Smith, Carlisle's forward saved the day by cageing a perfect basket from the foul zone, the point was needed to break the tie. This was the second time these two teams have met on the court this season. Each have won a game. Carlisle Position Vandals Smith R.F. Howard E. V. Davis L.F. Brown Ed. Davis. Center.

Chick Suggs Wins in Second Round Fall River, Mass., March 12—Chick Suggs, of New Bedford, New England bantam and featherweight champion, won by a technical knock-out to-night from Terry Miller, of Brooklyn, in the second round of a ten-round bout. Suggs toyed with his opponent in the first round and knocked him down for the count of nine in the second. Miller fought on, but was badly battered and was on the verge of a knock-out when Referee Patsy Downy separated the fighters and awarded the decision to Suggs. In the eight-round semi-final, Sugg's brother, Honey, knocked out, Joey Costa, also of New Bedford, in the fourth round. K. O. White, of New Bedford, won the decision from Fred Mandell, of Fall River, in the six-round preliminaries, and Jack Doherty of Bristol, R.I., knocked out Tom Rainett, of New Bedford, in the first round. UNION LEAGUE OFFICIALS TO MEET SUNDAY Officials of the Union League will meet Sunday afternoon at the residence of President Hayes Jones, 115 $4\frac{1}{2}$ Street, Southwest, at 3 p.m. The league officials are Hayes Jones, president; E. Hager, secretary; E. Henderson, treasurer, and Andrew Allen, business manager. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1926 Philadelphia, Pa., March 17—Eastern League moguls met here last Wednesday for the purpose of working out a schedule. Trade talks at the meeting indicated that the venerable John Henry Lloyd will be sent to the Lincoln Giants as manager. Dick Lundy will probably succeed Lloyd as the boss of the Bacharach Giants. The Newark Stars, recently admitted member of the Eastern League, has under contract the following players: Burton, who is now with Joe Williams' Poincaré Team at Palm Beach, Fla., Wayne Carr, formerly of the Baltimore Black Sox, Lefty Gisantner, who was with the Harrisburg Giants last season; Toussaint Allen, first sacker; George Scales, former Lincoln Giants, second basemen; Mellio, a Cuban shortstop; Oliver, a third baseman now with the Poincaré team; Charlie Mason, former Bacharach and Lincoln Giant player; Bennie Wilson, former Lincoln outfielder, and Jace Nestor, a Cuban outfielder. Pedro San, the San Domingo player who was claimed by both the Newark club and the Cuban Stars, was awarded to Alex Pompez. Mixed League Started Philadelphia, Pa., March 17—A mixed league to be composed of three white and three, colored baseball clubs was organized here last Wednesday. The colored clubs are members of the Eastern League. They are the Bacharach Giants, the Harirsburg Giants and the Hilldales. The white clubs are Camden and Allentown. A third white club is yet to be selected. It will likely be Hazelton. The new league will be known as the Interstate League. Its schedule will be worked out in such a way as not to interfere with Eastern league games. When two colored clubs meet, the games will figure in the percentages of both the Eastern and the Interstate leagues. Frank Miller, former manager of the Upland team, was selected for president of the new circuit; and Bill Dallas, a local newspaper man, secretary-treasurer. Colonel Strothers of the Harrisburg Giants, Ed Bolden of the Hildales and Charlie Johnson of the Bacharach Giants were among those who attended the meeting. LeDROIT TIGERS ORGANIZE The LeDroit Tigers, champions of the Union League, have organized for the coming baseball season with the following officers: Henry Spencer, president; J. Lucas, vice-president; James Baylor, secretary; Andrew Allen, business manager; William "Doc" West, manager, and Burrell Kenner, captain. 11th & U Sts. REID'S CORNER 11th & U Sts.

He cancelled on Dudley last Saturday. Dudley is a nephew of Rufus G. Byars, manager of the Broadway Theatre, Washington, D.C. Dudley has just been chosen by the New York Boxing Commission as the leading contender for Mickey Walker's crown, along with Baltimore Joe Dundee. If the Dudley-Harmon fight had been pulled off, a decisive victory by Dudley would have spoiled Harmon's chance to box Dundee in the Garden. Since he vanquished Jack McFarland and Sergeant Sammie Baker by kaye punches, Dudley is confident that he can stop any welterweight in the world. Dudley and Harmon met in a rattling good fight in the Garden about a month ago and while Willie won the decision, the crowd was displeased. Dudley has something that Harmon lacks, and that is adroitness and speed. The next meeting between the two, boxing experts predict, will result in a different tale. Omega Defeats Beta The Omega Psi Phi fraternity quintet defeated the Phi Beta Sigma basketers last Saturday afternoon at the Lincoln Colonnade by a score of 26 to 20.

REID'S SPECIAL --- Naptown News By Webh Indianapolis, Ind., March 5th—The bill at the Washington this week is "Steppin' High" by the Dixie Company. The musical comedy is from Los Angeles, Cal., and must say it is one of the best and most novel attractions seen here this season. The show is clean and well organized, has its own special scenery and a splendid wardrobe which is a lot within itself. The comedy is handled by Billy Pierson and Dike Thomas, two accomplished comedians, although some of the bits are strangely familiar, they were put over in a way to make them seem new and different. The box car scene is a scream. In fact they keep the house in an uproar of laughter throughout the show. Other principals are, Miss Hazel Myers, the Vocalion record artist, leading lady. Miss Glennie Cheeseman, a young toe dancer, who is very good and shows great promise if she stricks to her work and does not let flattery mislead her. Others who deserve special mention are the Three Black Aces, a singing and dancing trio of real merit, and a male quartette led by Rex Harris, who all but stopped the show with their demonstration of harmony. The chorus is as well drilled as dressed, and work together to perfection. The show has MEN!

REDMOND—Attorney for Mrs. Mary Ragland and Miss Mildred Ross of Jackson, Miss., who unassisted won for them what is doubtless, the largest judgment obtained by a race attorney in a southern court, in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals sitting at New Orleans, La. Mr. Redmond also obtained for his clients an injunction restraining the Buckeye Oil Com its own seven-piece jazz band orchestra, which is good but has room for improvement. The show was greatly handicapped by the size of the house and the poor accommodations. They were unable to use half of their scenery and the stage would not permit the showing of the entire company at one time. It is a wonder that some of our moneyed men who are always bragging and aspiring to be race leaders would not get a larger house to accommodate our better shows.

ROBB AND BERRY ENTERTAIN SHIRTS Blue Mouse Had Kirkpatrick, Bowman and Others List week, the Page was the guest of Manager George Martin and his pleasing wife for the Thursday night performance at the Blue Mouse Theatre. In addition to two good films, he had a three-act bill, and the folks liked the program. Kirkpatrick and Bowman were the featured act; and these dramatic players who have been Broadway features showed their further abilities or adaptabilities by presenting an act that had nobility enough in it to register in any sort of house. A sketch of the man-and-wife type, with late hours, both playing the game, etc., afforded each of them a chance to garner laughs and to suggest the acting capabilities of the team. The act was held over for another week. Glasco and Glasco opened the show with the usual team offering; and Williams, the bird, was next with a good single offering. Fairborn at the Blue Mouse enjoy themselves. There is an air of easy friendliness about the theatre, but absolutely correct decorum prevails with all present. Mr. Martin has long since established this as being as important as the price of admission to those who may have thought they could act otherwise. CREOLE BELLES TO TOUR UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MRS. E. D. LEE Mrs. E. D. Lee, wife and lifelong partner of the late E. D. D. Lee, will take the famed "Creole Belles" on tour again this season. The illness and death of Mr. Lee, obliged the closing of the show in Kentucky in mid-season, last summer. The new production goes into rehearsal on March 22, and on March 29 the show will open at Baton Rouge, La. The trick will be presented under canvass as before, and the territory covered will be substantially the same as in former seasons. The title is well known, and Mrs. Lee is a real "showman," so that there is every reason to expect the lady manager to have success. WE GET A RABBIT'S FOOT The week's mail included a pleasing omen for the editor of the Page. It came from Mr. Fred S. Walcott, owner of the Rabbit Foot Minstrels. Yes, it was a rabbit foot, nicely mounted for use as a watch charm. The letter with it explains that it is the official souvenir of the show. No wonder that bunch gathers the sheckels each and every season. The letter accompanies the little token gave the plans for keeping Tribune readers posted on the show's activities during the season.

It's a tamer outfit. Lomax and Blue are a corking good team and threatened the first named team for honors, but the use of a few off color gags that were not at all necessary to a team with such talent, lost them that much prestige. The singing and dancing of the act is marvelous. Each is a hit in his line. DeLoach and Cobin did what the act always does, clicked with vengeance. The Franklin and the Sandy Burns company completed the program. The former is a white act, and the latter the best afterpiece aggregation of the day. BERLIN PROTESTS COLORED PERFORMERS New York, March 14—According to dispatches from Berlin, Germany, the Nationalist party in that country is directing a campaign against the appearance of American Negroes on the German stage on the ground that they are a detriment to German social and curtural policies. "The contortions of these exotic guests have not any connection with art and culture; German artists who have undergone long years of training are starving, while troupes of colored performers are getting enormous salaries," a Nationalist organ is reported to have said. Greenlee and Drayton head a company of Negroes, with Lottie Gee as prima donna, that has been in Europe since last spring. The troupe has been in Germany, Austria, Russia and Spain, and is playing a return engagement in Berlin in response to a popular demand. SUBURBAN GARDENS TO ADD FOUR RIDES Many improvements are being made at the Suburban Gardens for the coming season. Among the additions to the park will be the installation of four new popular rides.

Such revues, the available road shows, and occasional top notch vaudeville will be the policy. The midnight shows will be resumed, and Sunday concerts are to become important features. Mr. Sterling will be assisted by Beverly Broadus, who has been named resident manager, and Miss Bertha Martin, as treasurer. The house is now in control of the A. & L. Amusement Co. of Chicago of which A. E. Lichtman, pioneer president of the Chicago Amusement Company is president. The opening date will be made known through the papers just as soon as a new marquee over the front entrance and other alterations and repairs have been completed. Staff Visits Baltimore The editor of this Page, together with others of the staff of the paper journeyed to Baltimore to witness the performance of "Ebony Follies," and we found that it hit as hard with the pay folks as it did with those who witnessed the dress rehearsal before young Dudley, Lonnie Fisher and their bunch took the road. The 2800 patrons at the Regent enjoyed the show the day of our visit. We found manager Hornstein active as ever in trying to find attractions for his big house, and down at the Royal, Manager Pierce, sitting in his office, while Johnnie Lee Long kept the patrons laughing on the stage, disclosed the reason for Hornstein's agitation, for he too was some active in the matter of grabbing off the good things headed toward Baltimore. Those fellows are scuffling for business, though both seemed to be doing well, and the theatre patrons of the town are sure to benefit. Met Babe Townsend, of Lafayette Player fame, and he tells us that he is starring a dramatic sketch act Must be good, for Babe is an actor and he states that his support is adequate. A feature at the Regent theatre is the singing with the pictures. We were informed that the sweet voiced artist is Miss Lillian Thompson, and that many patrons come especially to hear her numbers. RAY AND LLOYD TO PLAY IN CANDADA Ray and Lloyd, vaudevillians have been playing in the extreme North for some weeks past. This week is being split between the State Theatre, Utica, and the Capital in Corning. They take on a series of Canadian dates thereafter. What the Press Agents Say THE LINCOLN HAS TWO STRONG PICTURES NEXT WEEK On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, it opens the week with "Lady Winder- mere's Fan," the Oscar Wilde play which Ernst Lubitsch has picturized with a brilliant cast of stars. Irene Rich, Ronald Colman (by arrangement with Goldwyn), May McAvoy and Bert Lytell play the leading roles in this dramatic story of a charming woman's numerous indiscretions and magnificent sacrifice for her daughter. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Adolphe Menjou, together with Florence Vidor, will be seen in Paramount's presentation of Alfred Savior's celebrated stage success "The Grand Dutchess and The Waiter." On Saturday Reginald Denny will appear in "What Happened to Jones," also the 5th Episode of "Casey of the Coast From Magazine Cover to the Movie Guard." Kathryn Hill, hailed by Harrison Fisher, the eminent artist, as the most beautiful girl in America, has had her portrait appear on more magazine covers than that of any other girl in the world. At the suggestion of Harrison Fisher, Miss Hill went to Hollywood from New York without any screen or stage experience. She was given a screen test at the Paramount studio and was immediately rewarded with a contract. Her first role is in "The Wanderer" as Naomi. "THE LIMITED MAIL" ARRIVES AT THE BROADWAY On Sunday and Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present another of the Warner Brothers' classics of the screen "The Limited Mail" with Monte Blue, Vera Reynolds, Willard Lewis, Otis Harlan, Eddie Gribbon, Jackie Huff and Tom Gallery. It is a thundering melodrama that roars through a storm of sizzling thrills, the kind that the most particular movie fan will enjoy. Critics claim it a record-breaker for thrills. You will like Monte Blue in the characters of a tramp and later as an engineer. On Tuesday, House Peters and Patsy Miller will appear in "Head Winds." Wednesday and Thursday, Elaine Hammersstein and Lou Tellegen in "Parisian Nights." You will believe yourself in Paris. The week will end with three of our favorites, Adolphe Menjöp, Betty Bronson and Florence Vidor in "Are Parents People?" REPUBLIC THEATRE Sunday and Monday, March 21, 22 Edmund Lowe and Betty Compson in "The Palace of Pleasure." This is the story of a world famous siren.
