ROANOKE, MAGIC CITY IN A WAY THAT JUSTIFIES CLAIM FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION A COMMUNITY OF 12,000 NEGROES A COMMUNITY OF 12,000 NEGROES Yellow Sulphur Springs, a mountain resort nearby, remarkable institution A Colored contractor who does some real construction work By Rienzi B. Lemus Roanoke, Va., March 25—Down here in Southwest Virginia, at the nearest contact point of the Blue Ridge and Alleghanies is Roanoke. It is the "Magic City" which boasts of its apples, railroad shops and excellent Race relationships; a place where Negroes mostly live in their own paid for homes, to which steam or hot water heat, fine furniture and furnishings are not novelties, and where few loaf or live by their wits; where boys and girls grow up, go away, and either return for good—or generally wish that they had, and the only Southern city without the superflous "Jim Crow" waiting rooms in railroad depots. This Roanoke truly is a magic city. In such a place things out of the ordinary (elsewhere) are expected. Roanoke's black population is 12,000—little over one sixth of the total. It generally lives clear across town north of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, which more or less runs east and west through the corporate limits. These black folks have no ghetto; practically no slum. Street railways do not operate through the district except on the extreme west end, which accounts for the hardihood of men, women and children, as well as a large percentage of automobiles owned. Recently, Negro owned and operated jitneys serve the district on regular schedules. Sociologically, black Roanoke is just the community to be expected from a vicinity of mechanics, skilled and semi-skilled employees. Here are located the principal shops of the great Norfolk and Western Railroad which, the General Manager of the New Haven Railroad told this writer, it is one of America's foremost and best paying rail properties. There are black mechanics in those shops; skilled and unskilled laborers. The yard men are Negroes. So are other classes of rail employees. With the majority of able bodied men so profitably employed and, thereby, furnishing sound economic bases, "home" homes, adequate and well conducted churches, a serviceable hospital, an outdoor, race owned, amusement enterprise, tennis club and tennis courts, efficacious, social uplift organizations, Y.W.C.A., new Strand Theatre, "most modern" apartment FAILED TO DODGE BOARD BILL WITH FAKE HOLD UP FAILED TO DODGE BOARD BILL WITH FAKE HOLD UP A fake hold-up used as a smokescreen to avoid the payment of a board bill was unearthed in police court last Friday when James Howard, of 430 1-2 L Street, Northwest, was acquitted of a charge of robbery. He was represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott. Everett W. Krider, of 1211C Street, Northeast, told police that he was held up by a white and a colored man just after he had received his pay at the Union Station. The white man leveled a gun at him, Krider said, while the colored man riffled his pockets, taking $39, after which they warned him to make no outcry and escaped. A daily newspaper described it as "one of the most daring daylight hold-ups reported here since the advent of the blond bandit." Howard was arrested for the alleged crime. But before Assistant District Attorney Givens, Krider admitted that he owed a board bill of $50 and faked the hold-up to avoid payment of the bill. N.A.A.C.P. LOCAL TUNING UP FOR DRIVE The local branch N. A. A. C. P. is arranging a series of mass meetings to be held in different parts of the city in conjunction with its spring membership registration.

Zion Church, the second Sunday afternoon, on April 18th at the Zion Baptist Church, the third Sunday afternoon, April 15th, at Mount Zion M. E. Church and the fourth Sunday afternoon, May 2nd, at Lincoln Congregational Temple. Prominent men and women have been secured to address the various meetings.

DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM H LEWIS COMMITS SUICIDE DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM H LEWIS COMMITS SUICIDE Mother Advised as Boat from Paris Arrives Cambridge, Mass.—William H. Lewis, former Attorney General under President Taft and now a prominent lawyer of Boston and former Harvard football star, was in New York on Wednesday to meet the steamer Paris to break to his wife the news of their daughter's suicide here. Elizabeth Lewis, twenty-five, one of the best known graduates in recent years from Radcliffe College and a teacher in the Cambridge Latin School killed herself March 13, it was revealed when her death certificate was filed. Friends attribute her act to overwork. The mother is returning from Paris, where she attended the marriage of her elder daughter, Dorothy. Miss Lewis attended the Sorborne University in Paris in 1920 and 1921 and was graduated from Radcliffe in 1924 with cum laude and master of arts degree. She won further class honors at the time of her graduation. SUICIDE WANTS ASHES STREWN IN CABARETS Declares Love for All Races "My love for all humanity is unbounded by race, creed or color. . . Please do not mourn me with ceremonies. Gounod's 'Ave Maria' is singing me to sleep. Cremate my body and scatter my ashes in the cabbets of the city. Ministers, priests and rabbits, keep up your good work," were the essential features of a farewell note left by Charles Mayberry, a white lawyer, who committed suicide in New York early this week. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1926 TWO HEROIC ENTERTAINERS THE FASHION Police Raid Crispus Attucks Club; Patrol Loads of "Members" Taken ALLEGED PRESS CLUB GIVES UP MANY PERSONS C. Lucien Skinner Held under $2800 Bond on Four Charges SIX PRINCIPALS HELD Four precinct detectives, nearly fifteen policemen of the uniform force, and a dozen patrol wagons, each making repeated trips to No. 2 police station were the elements of a spectacular raid upon the premises known far and wide as the Crispus Attucks Press Club, located at 1502 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, of which C. Lucien Skinner is head. The raid took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning, March 23. About 200 visitors were taken to precinct headquarters and booked either as prisoners or material witnesses. The arrests were the result of several weeks of painstaking detective work of the most subtle order by Lieutenant McQuaide and precinct detectives N. G. Thayer, C. R. Brennan and W. J. Barbee. These men led the uniformed officers who surrounded the building before entering. The principals were held under a series of charges, (all of which the detectives declare to be amply sustained by evidence) by Judge J. P. McMahon in the police branch of the United States District Court under bonds of various sums. Skinner Held Charles Lucien Skinner, 728 Columbia Road, alleged president of the organization, is held in $500 bond for gaming; $1500 for possessing and selling whiskey; $500 for maintaining a nuisance, and in addition a $500 bond was set on a bad check transaction for which officer Paul Jones held a warrant, while yet another charge growing out of a check passing episode is pending. Detectives allege that marked money spent by them for drinks in the house was found on Skinner when searched in the station house. He has been unable to secure the total of $2800 security for his appearance in court at the time this story goes to press. Frank Lynch, 1844 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, and Clifton Augustus Moore, 1315 S Street, Northwest, were held under the charges of possessing and selling whiskey, permitting gambling, and unlicensed entertainment. Alice Mame Keyes, 532 Morton Street, and Sadie Hockett, 621 Rhode BEACH BILL IS DR. McGRUDER MEDICAL SCHOOL PASSED BY PROFESSOR, DIES SENATE The Senate District Committee on Monday ordered a favorable report on the Zihlman bill for the establishment of two artificial bathing beaches in the District of Columbia. This bill has already passed the House of Representatives. While it is not provided in the bill, it is tacitly understood that one of these artificial bathing beaches or pools will be used exclusively by white persons and the other by colored persons. The bill provides that the Commission of Fine Arts shall be consulted as to the location and construction of the proposed bathing beaches or pools. Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, who introduced the bill in the House, stated in a discussion of the measure, however, that it had been suggested that one of these pools could be constructed on some part of the Mall and the other in the ground surrounding Howard University. The bill was passed in the House on February 9. It was introduced by Mr. Zihlman on January 4. CHARLESTON ON THE WANE; N. Y. TIRED OF FAST NUMBERS New York is tiring of the fast bang-bang Charleston rhythm, and musical comedy writers are taking cognizance of the fact by composing less hectic music for forthcoming productions.

Creed C. Johnson is charged with operating a blackjack game. Genevieve E. Brown who was conducting a party in the house, claimed that she rented the parkers for this purpose for a payment of $20 which sum included, according to her statement, the privilege of serving drinks. She forfeited $25 she had deposited for appearance in court. Besides the above named persons who were held for the action of the grand jury, the many loads of people who are credited with having been visitors at the place were all listed at No. 2 station house as witnesses and released. The raid began at 12:05 a.m. and the desk sergeant was still recording callers at 5 a.m. New York, N.Y.—Ruth Dayton and Dorothy Bellis, thwarted the robbery of wealthy white patrons of a New York cabaret when they took a quick judgment on four bandits who pulled guns while merriment was at its height in the Owl Club on West 45th Street, just off Broadway, where the girls are employed as entertainers. They slipped out, gave warning and called police in time to save the patrons the loss of nearly a million dollars, and caused the capture of the four bandits. The attempted robbery occurred Tuesday night and the girls have been the big news subjects of the week. White dailies published their pictures in almost every city in the country, few editors realizing that the girls were Negroes. The Owl Club is located in the heart of New York's pleasure belt.

McGRUDER, MEDICAL SCHOOL PROFESSOR, DIES Dr. Francis McGruder, age 33, died last Monday, March 22 and was buried from St. Cyprians Chapel on March 24. He is survived by a wife, Rae Adams McGruder, to whom he was married in 1922, and a child of two and a half years. Dr. Francis was a professor of pharmacology and an assistant professor in physiology at Howard Medical School. He was also a member of the Medico-Chirurgical Society. He was vice-president of Lambda Chapter of the Chi Delta Mu fraternity. Dr. McGruder graduated from the old M Street High School in 1911. He took preparatory work at Lincoln University, received his A.D. degree at Dartmouth College, and graduated in medicine at Howard in 1918. He served his internship at Freedmen's Hospital in 1918-1919. He was on the visiting staff of the hospital from 1919 until 1923. Since then he has been on the faculty of the Howard Medical School. TRIAL OF SWEET AND ASSOCIATES SET FOR APRIL Clarence Darrow, chief of the counsel for the defense of the Dr. Sweet conspiracy case, has made public the information that the case will again go to trial on April 1. Robert M. Toms, county prosecutor, has announced that Henry Sweet, younger brother of Dr. O. H. Sweet, will first be tried. Separate trials have been demanded by defense counsel. Though this will make the trials much longer it is felt that this procedure will more surely result in fairer trials for all the eleven defendants. MOTHER OF DR. CLIFFORD C. FRY DIES which state.inks. isited Announcement is made of the death of Mrs. Sara A. Fry on Sunday, March 21, at her home in Westchester, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Fry who was 79 years of age and who had lived most of her life in Westchester, is survived by three daughters and two sons, one son, Dr. Clifford C. Fry being a dental practitioner of many years standing in this city, and a dental inspector of the District schools. While funeral arrangements have not been announced in detail, interment will be made at Westchester, Pa. COMMITTEE OF TRUSTEES TO SELECT PRESIDENT OF HOWARD OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. Appointed Pastor REV. W. L. WASHINGTON CALLED TO PASTOR ZION BAPTIST CALLED TO PASTOR ZION BAPTIST Rev. W. L. Washington will assume charge of the pastorate of Zion Baptist Church on F Street, Northwest, succeeding the late Rev. W. J. Howard, having been elected to pulpit by the congregation at its annual meeting on January 15. He was unanimously elected and was well known to the church, having been baptized in this church by Rev. Howard in 1915 when he became a member of the congregation. In 1917, Rev. Washington became the pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, resigning to accept the call to Zion Church. Rev. Washington was born in Lexington, Va., in 1872. He attended public school there until fifteen years of age when he went to Storer College to graduate from the Normal department in 1890. From 1893 to 1896 he attended Oberlin Academy, later matriculating in Oberlin class of 1900 with an A.B. degree. While at Oberlin he was active in athletics and won the coveted varsity letter in football. As a student there, he won seven declamation and oratorical contests and represented the school in the Northern Oratorical League where he competed against students from the Universities of Michigan, Chicago, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Northwestern University. For five years he was principal of the public schools of his native home, later going to Virginia Industrial school at Lynchburg. After that he was a clerk in the Census Bureau, and engaged in recreational and social work in Southwest Washington. These experiences and his splendid educational background make him a splendid successor to a worthy man. HOWARD APPROPRIATIONS AGREED TO IN SENATE HOWARD APPROPRIATIONS AGREED TO IN SENATE The Senate last Wednesday agreed to an amendment to the Interior Department appropriations bill appropriating the sum of $218,000 to Howard University. The amendment was offered by Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, of Utah, chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, which had authorize him to offer the amendment. No objections were offered. The Interior Department appropriations bill passed the Senate last Thursday and is now in conference. Conferences on the part of the House will most likely agree to the Howard University amendment. The items for Howard University were stricken out in the House on points of order by Representative Butler B. Hare, Democrat, of South Carolina. His points of order were that the appropriation was not authorized by law. NORTH CAROLINA A. & T. COLLEGE BURNED Greensboro, N.C., March 25 (Special to the Tribune)—The principal dormitories of the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College were burned on Tuesday night with an almost total loss.

INDICTED FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER INDICTED FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER An indictment charging Bessie E. Alexander with murder in the first degree for the death of Devoia Woolridge was returned by a grand jury Monday. "The indictment charges that after deliberation and premeditation she mortally shot Woolridge on February 27, last. The killing occurred in the Montgomery apartments, 512 U Street, Northwest. Woolridge made a statement to three men in her presence that he "used to go with her." This caused a heated argument, in which she denied that there had ever been any intimate relations between her and him. After opening her front door to let the ice man enter, Mrs. Alexander went into her bedroom and secured a 38 caliber pistol. When she returned to the dining room, Woolridge, who was in the kitchen, picked up a knife used to hold open a swinging door and started toward her. She raised the gun. He jumped behind the door. She fired through the glass in the upper part of the door, the bullet entering his left breast and piercing his heart and one lung. He died before he could be rushed to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing automobile. Mrs. Alexander claims self defense. She is represented by Attorney James A. O'Shea.

Myers has been over active in the affairs of the school having been for two years a member of the track team, one of the best javelin throwers that the school has had for a long time and a shot-putter, as well as a member of the relay team. PLAN SEGREGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA Philadelphia, March 23—In a speech here yesterday, Eric Louw, commissioner to this country from the Union of South Africa, a British Colony, stated that it is proposed in his country to designate certain "belts" or sections in which the native blacks will be compelled to live segregated from the whites. This is being proposed, he stated, to avert a threat or fear of a native uprising. In the Union there are 1,600,000 Europeans and their descendants, and about 5,680,000 natives. The Europeans are more numerous in the extreme southern portion known as the Cape Colony. The Union includes the Transvaal which Great Britain wrested from the Boers about twenty-five years ago. THE FASHION THE FASHION REVIEW BY NIN VALENTINE Exclusive with Feature And what is the spring hat doing? This question, supreme at the moment, has a double answer. For while one type of millinery is by all odds dominant just now, it is obvious that the style is not fixed for the whole season. Just at present, small felts compose the backbone of millinery fashions being worn by all the well-dressed women. The shape, however, has changed in response to the new gigolis and beret drapings. The gigolis especially appeals to old and young, who repeat it in all the colorings required by their various costumes. Some older women prefer types which are not regulation gigolos, but which exhibit the high back drape. Always the manipulation is, so individual and so carefully adapted to the wearer, that one knows that it was done at her particular order and on her particular head. As for colors, they pretty well conform to the dress shades, which means that the dusty pastels have it all their own way. Bois de rose triumphs in the deep "Miami Rose" shade, or the very pale on which Paris is now laying more emphasis; "Lovebird Green', has also been supplemented by a softer color known as "Florida Green" more in harmony with the misted shades. Blue and wood tones, mauve and yellow, also aspire to the fashionable head. Nor do they invariably match the coats, often furnishing a deliberate and very piquant contrast, as when pale green felt tops a yellow kaska coat, or a royal gigolo accents in all the costume. In fact the number of times in which the hat adds contrast to a monotone Told In Verse EDITOR'S NOTE—Here we present two clever little gems written by a Washington girl, Miss Geneva L. Kent. Ethel is sweet and noble and true, She is an angel of love to you. And to me she is a friend and pal, With a heart of gold, this gal. She is modest, and timid, and pure, She is just like the girls of yore, And I love her because she's my friend A pal on whom I can ever depend. GENEVA L KENT THE KISS OF LOVE Sweet as the honey to the bee, Pure as the illy white. Sacred as is Heaven to me, Eternal as the stars of light. Unfolding within me the petals of love Awakening the slumbering soul. Causing me to walk with the angels above So is that kiss, my idol of old. You have kissed me often, Sweetheart! Kissed me through smiles and tears— But that first kiss is of my soul apart, It will live on and on through all the If you know of a thing that will darken the joy Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy, That will wipe out a smile or the least way annoy A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy. It's a pretty good plan to forget it. PARENTAL EXAMPLE Parents may teach by precept. The process may be "Line upon line, precept upon precept." But experience demonstrates that one ounce of example will out-weight ten tons of precepts. A young woman's dispairing wail was, "I canont do right; the wrong was born in me; my mother was bad before me." Another girl declared, "I tried to go straight, and I was doing fairly well until I over-took my own mother doing awfully wrong. After I discovered what she did I gave little need to what she said to me about doing right, for I knew she could not afford to be hard on me." A boy remarked, "Dad is after me about smoking cigarettes, and he has threatened me if I smoke them." He added, "But I know he is joking, for he would not have the heart to punish me when I see him smoking them." If parents have taught their children properly and have set the proper example before them, this will be their consolation if things go wrong. But terrible is the condemnation when parents realize that the mistakes of their children are due to the influence of their own bad examples. Perhaps the keenest suffering will come from the actions of their children when they point accusing fingers at their parents and tell them, "You failed to set the proper example before me." "THE NEGRO GIRL" The Negro girl often is neglected and discouraged. She has little of real help in her efforts to be and to do. She is neglected even by her own parents and relatives. In regard to work the Negro girl must take what the white girl does not want, or what is most irksome, hazardous or difficult. For economic reasons she is often compelled to live amid unwholesome and dangerous surroundings. Despite all of the serious handipeps, this unfortunate girl is severely censured for PAGE TEN costume, is not worthy. Whether or not this means a change in vogue from the monotone idea is an interesting question. Paris designers have made the matching and blending of color such a prominent item in the fashions of the past season and those of the season to come that women are gradually being brought to the realization that they must think about their clothes and must relate them exclusively. One is very much impressed these days with the women seen about the smart hostelries, not one of whom but shows a studded care in her entire costume. Millinery departments give the information that women are constantly matching some article of their wardrobe now when they buy a hat. It is either their coat or perhaps a handbag or, a pair of shoes that they insist the hat must match, and as consequence, up-to-date millinery departments find themselves constantly confronted with the need to keep color variety of topmost interest. The past six weeks has brought general interest in the draped crown treatments of silk. At the present moment faillie is the most popular, generally combined or elaborated with straw, or elaborated by pedaline braid, while black satin in the same treatment is holding its own. Roman stripe effects, in vari-colored pedaline braid, or silk tassels are registering successfully. Among other trimmings, belting ribbon has again assumed a position of importance, and naturally the ornament pin is as popular this season as ever: her hortcomings; but she is entitled to the most sincere sympathy, instead. Say what you will concerning this most neglected and much abused Negro Girl; prate of her weaknesses, unmercifully condemn her faults, scorn her if you will, curse her, trample her in the dust, if you are uncharitable enough to do so; but when the unbiased record shall be made it will be that, considering her handicaps and disadvantages, her temptations and hindrances, the Negro Girl is "more sinned against than sinning."

MARGARET JACKSON Black, Gray or Oak Casket and Outside Case Embalming, Two Sedans and Hearse Walter R. Wood Co. e's Funeral Home SINCE 1912 ility and Service" Ninth St., Northwest telephone, North 3747 IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND 1820 Ninth St., Northwest Telephone, North 3747 LICCENSED IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND A. E. H. 1920 WHERE I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE Bv I JEW Murray.(13) I should like to live in Japan. First I will tell you the history of Japan, years ago, and to-day. In the middle ages, shortly after China had opened her gates and received Commander Perry, Japan did the same. After that she began building ships, and other things that many parts of the world had never heard of. These inventions marked the progress of civilization in Japan. The silk-worm industry sprung up, and of course as it had to be shipped this increased her commerce. They raised mulberry trees and fed the leaves to the silk-worms, then they wove the silk, which made Japan so famous. Beginning at the bottom as an uncivilized country, Japan has climbed until now she has reached the top of civilization. Now I will tell you why I want to live there. I imagine should I sail there I would land in a fairyland where all is in blossom—the cherry trees gleaming with the light of the sun, the chrysanthemums yellow and gold. There I would find pretty maids with jet black hair, and dressed in their brilliantly colored kimonas, all neat and prim and yet so picturesque. I would find them parading to school, looking like a billboard of gay colors. Most of their schools are small wooden, but pretty little houses. In them are rows of seats for the children. They have their primers the same as we have, some also bring their lunches. In fact their schools are very much like ours. On Japanese Flag Day, all of the boys in certain cities join together and stage a sham battle. The leader of the victorious side celebrates, at his home, where rice cakes, tea and sugared sweet potatoes are served. Don't think the girls don't have good times—they do. On Christmas about fifty dolls (heirlooms) are laid out and they are allowed to play with them about two weeks, then they are out back. These little girls begin early to carry their baby sisters and brothers on their backs, until it becomes virtually a habit. No child in Japan dares speak back to an elder. They are good examples for some American children. 1234 4th Street, N.W.

I am sending in a few more jokes this week and I hope you will think enough of them to publish them. "Does your wife take to bridge?" "She takes to it more than she brings back." "How much are your rooms?" "Two dollars up to seven." "How much are they at six in the morning?" "See that boy—he told me last Sunday he often dreamed about me." "Yes, and he asked me last night if I knew anything to cure nightmares." RIP VAN WINKLE By Marguerite Murray, (12) Rip was a merry old fellow, His eyes were blue and his hair was yellow— A lazy man, indeed, I'll say, Rags and tags were his array, And such a wife— She led a horrible life— A blab, a blab, a blab a bloo! Oh Rip, mean Rip, why won't you do? And to Rip's dog she would say, "I'll kill you! I'll drown you! Some coming day." Old Rip was a silent adorer Of the nearby farmer's daughters; Rip was a lazy man Who dreamed of a beautiful land Where women were beautiful and tongueless, too, And wives and gossips were very few.

ARROWAY HAIR CIRC Closing TELEPHONE DIRECTORY YEAR 1920 The Telephone Directory Is Now Being Compiled THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY PAGE TWELVE LONGSHOREMEN FIGHTING FOR COMPENSATION LAW Thousands of Negroes Involved Nearly a hundred thousand Negroes are members of the Longshoremen's Union, and one of its vice-presidents is a Negro. The Union constitutes about one-fourth of the nearly four hundred thousand maritime workers interested in the passage of the Cummins-Graham bill for accident compensation now before the Senate judiciary committee. At a hearing on the bill before the Senate judiciary committee last week it was brought out that this army of wage-earners are exposed to risks far greater than most factory workers are permitted to assume, and suffer from work injuries for which the individual states cannot provide accident compensation. "The longshoreman if injured while on shore has the protection of state compensation laws," said John B. Andrews, secretary of the American Association for Labor Legislation before the committee. "But let him walk up the gangplank and step a board a ship with his load and he is denied that protection. If injured a board a vessel his sole recourse—a damage suit—is under maritime restrictions that make it unworthy the name of 'remedy.' Yet the compensation principle has been almost universally adopted for work accidents elsewhere." Mr. Andrews declared that when the states first enacted workmen's compensation laws, they included long-shoremen and repairmen at the docks "These workers," he continued "were protected by state laws until the Supreme Court in 1917 held by a five to four decision that when injured on board a ship, the accident was 'maritime' and therefore outside of state jurisdiction. Twice Congress attempted to meet objections by specifically reserving to them the protection of state compensation laws. These efforts, were held by the Supreme Court to be beyond the authority of Congress in that such power delegated to the states would interfere with the proper harmony and uniformity of the maritime law. There can be but one satisfactory remedy—a federal accident compensation law." ROCKVILLE ELKS GIVE ANNUAL BALL Pride of Montgomery Lodge, 347, I. B, P. O. E. of, W. of Rockville, Md., gave its annual ball at Fishermen's Hall on Thursday night, March 25. The receipts of the affair go into the charity fund of the lodge.

NEW YORK REPUBLICAN TURNS TABLES ON EN-FORCEMENT PROPONENTS Southern Democrats are uneasy over the issues of an informal debate on Constitutional enforcement which recently took place during the course of a Congressional Committee hearing regarding appropriations for prohibition enforcement. Said the Anti-Saloon League's Counsel to Congressman Ogdon L. Mills Republican, of New York: "The trouble with New York is that it ought to join the Union and pass a state enforcement law." "Let me ask you this" the Congressman retorted: "is Congress guilty of treason for failing to pass an enforcement act for the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution?" CHICAGO RED CAPS DEDICATE CLUB Negro ushers employed at the Illinois Central R. R. Dearborn Station and the Northwestern Railway Stations in Chicago have for some years maintained the Red Caps Club, an organization that was established to give encouragement to young boys in the pursuit of better things of life. On March 18, the club dedicated its recently purchased club house at 3639 Michigan Boulevard. The property is a brownstone mansion three stories in height, and the purchase price $13,500. Jesse Binga, a local Negro banker negotiated the sale. Hon. George T. Kersey, Judge William Harrison, Judge Albert T. George and Alderman Louis B. Anderson and Robert Jackson participated in the dedicatory exercises. Sandy W. Price, the president, who is a rich realty operator and prominent in fraternal circles; but who continues to function daily as a working red cap said to reporters: "Many of the members are students of medicine and law in the city. We have had a club house for three years Once a month we have a Sunday afternoon program at which we hear the best speakers we can get from among the leading white men of the city. "We bought our new club house about a month ago for $13,500 through Jesse Binga after selling our former home for $11,500." PRESENTED WITH JEWEL Edwood G. Hubert, attorney at law and active fraternal worker, was tendered a surprise last Saturday night by the members of Markwell Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of which he is a Past High Priest, when the body presented him with a beautifully designed and inlaid gold past master's jewel engraved with the symbols of the order and the high office that he had filled so well.

DECLARES NEWSPAPERS IMPORTANT SERVANTS OF SOCIETY "Newspapers are important agents of society, and institutions for its protection, its research and education said," Walter A. Strong, publisher of "The Chicago Daily News," told graduating students of the University of Chicago at the spring convoction. "Having become a gigantic commercial enterprise," said Mr. Strong, "in which many millions are invested, and at the same time an influence in millions of lives, the American press is still in the throes of re-establishing itself in accord with new conditions." Mr. Strong proceeded to suggest that newspapers, having passed through successive periods of pioneering, of "personal journalism" and of mechanical expansion, are about to enter or are already entering upon a fourth great era in which they will take their true place, as servants of society. In this new era they must absorb the spirit of the university—to seek with free mind and unquenchable zeal for the facts of life; to place in the hands of mankind that greatest equipment for his own control, knowledge of himself, his past and his inner nature. Mr. Strong declared America has more honest newspapers by far than any other country for a period of fifteen years.

We need refer onily to our last week's issue for ‘tticles which exemplify the lacks we mention and other lacks. Consider ‘he following release which was sent out from Indianapolis, Yndiamapolis, Ind., March 17—White “an colored résidents of this city are fe de segregated in the future if an grdinance passed by the city council | ‘Monday prevails.

Now considering the importance of Sheaznatter and its obvious news value, ‘ene cam but wonder why, since the re- Jense went out by mail—and very late gt that—enough was not said to.make ‘tho whele matter clear, especially as Phe daily papers of the city carried “Ea column stories complete in every detail. Maving no other information than be words of this release, a person ‘ould need uncanny insight to deter- amine what’ is meant by saying that such and ‘such will result IF an ordi- snance “prevails,” which ordinance hax afready “passed.” One might try to mesclve the doubt by supposing: that ‘the measure had “passed” one branch ‘sf the council but had not yet passed sr prevailed in the other, only later e find out that in Indianapolis, the ity council consists of only one Shranch. “Then ‘one might think that the writer ameant that the measure would “pre- wail” Sf signed by the mayor, provided such be necessary in that city. But, ‘Gf that were meant, it would seem “simple to say, “if signed by the may- “ox” Finally one thinks perhaps the swurd “prevails” related to later court qproceiiare. In short, the article is smeaningless in the particulars men tioned. “Equally vague are the words, “ir guy portion. of the city,” ete. The ‘word “community,” used in the ordi. mance is vague enough surely; “por- ion” is in this case meaningless, So much for incompleteness and ‘vagueness. In other respects the ar- ‘idle is even more faulty—probably aé- ssignedly so. Aside from the fact that his ordinance is passed by the coun- «il of a Northern city, the matter has _Aouble interest and importance in that twas passed by a unanimous-Repub- iran vote, its only oppoyent in the wpumeil being one of the very few ‘Democrats. At is impossible not to believe that ‘he last-stated fact was suppressed by @issign. Indeed, these «press news stories are regularly colored and doc- ‘ored in the interest‘of a certain politi- ql party or for the benefit of some me interest, such for instance as the Purported “rews” stories which ere to discredit, to misrep- and to defeat the efforts of the tale porportedly "Noqro” news were to sothewhat color doctor or suppress fact$ and oc- for the purpose of assisting Face which they are supposed to serving, there might be some de- pase fer thet course.

CONSTITUTES A LYNCHING? ‘The Race Relations commission of the Federal Council of Churches sends out a release concerning lynchings in this country during 1925. This com- mission makes up annually, what it designates a Roll-of Honor on which is placed the names of the states that have had no mob lynchings during the -previous year. On. its roll. just sent out there are the names of thirty- eight states, among them Kentucky, Delaware * and West Virginia. The names of these states surely belong on roll of Dishonor along with the ten which permitted mob-lynchings, for in each of these three states there was'what may truly be called a “legal lynching”—something even worse in its conscience-searing effect than most mob-lynehings; for these were double lynchings—a legal(?) lynching of the human ¥ietim and a lynchipg of the law ‘itself, = ‘The release of the commission is a long document, crowded with statis- tics and contment—more than twice as long as the abstract from. it which we ate prititing on another page. But in all this welter of words and figures ‘there is ‘no mention of the soul-sicken- ing procedures to which we refer that, with surpassingly hypoeritical pre- tense, werevpassed off as vindications of law and order. . EXIT THE SO-CALLED PRESS CLUB | ‘Self-respecting “journalism was ‘obliged to hang its head in shame this week when the daily papers “seare- oe ‘a story of the municipal po- lice raid upon the so-called Crispus Attucks Press Club—an organization that has long been presented to the public as an institution whose mem- bership was composed of reporters, authors, correspondents, editors and publishers of Negro papers; and that was indeed truly representative of not a few of the Negro newspapers of the country. The arrests and charges upon which the raid was based disclosed the reul character of the club, A condition that the newspaper men themselves had long felt morally certain obtained at the “club,” was shown to actually exist. ? While men of the fourth estate are Tot as @ rule vindictive, nor prone te make the going hard for any man, yet respect for their chosen professior impels them to hope that the inciden! will awaken the minds of public of ficials who have been led to think o' the Negro journalist with little esteen because of contacts of these official: with persons connected with such or |wanizations as the Crispus Attuck Press Club. | While the mandamus of the court ordering the school board to vacate [ewe teachers’ positions at the Arm- strong School aid not prove any moral turpitude, it did indicate that the |board’s own ‘published rules did not |stand in the way when for some rea- [son not disclosed it was desired “to take *eare of” somebody. The -way things ‘are going, it will not be long ere no person who values his reputa- tion will risk losing it by accepting membership on the board.

The ‘rouse Judiciary ‘Committee last week adversely reported the resolu: tion introduced by Representative Jefi Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi, foz an investigation of alleged patronage abuses in Mississippi, and recom: mended that it be not passed. The report of the committee was submitted by Representative George S. (Graham, Republican, of Pennsylvania, who és the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. It was ordered to be laid on the table, which is a final disposi- tion of the matter. The udverse report of the Judiciary Committee is as follows: “The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom was referred House Resoln: tion 161, report the. same adversely and recommend that the resolution be not passed. “The matter about which informa- tion is sought by this resohytion has been investigated on three occasions. It was first investigated by the Post Of- fice Department, later by the Depart- ment of Justice, and also by the Fed- eral grand jury in Mississippi. In_no ease has the authority: investigating the matter found evidence warrarit- ing the prosecution of Perry W. How- ard. In fact there was no evidence whatever connecting shim with the charge of abuses -in connection with patronage. - “The reports desired are now in the office of the Attorney General and have been carefully considered by him.” Assistant Attorney, General John Marshall appeared before the commit- tee and stated that following the in- vestigation of the Post Office Depart- ment, the Department of Justice had ‘its agents make a second investiga- tion. “A number of persons who had failed to. secure post offices said that if they’ had paid money to certair men in Misissippi,” Mr. Marshall said, “they could have secured them; but no one even suggested remotely that there was any proof or any circum [stances which would connect Mr. How: jard directly with the receipt of ams |money; consequently, after reading these reports and interrogating th examiners and Mr. Howard-himself, | made a report to the Attorney Gen eral in which I recommended tha the charges be dismissed and that m action be taken, which recommenda tion the Attorney General adopted.’ The resolution offered by Mr. Busby ‘directed the Attorney General to trans mit to the House the report of tw agents of the Department of Justice who investigated a charge that Fed eral patronage was being sold it Mississippi, and all evidence filed wit! ‘the report relating to Perry W.

They de- light to-do such servieé for the white race. Many of us seem to think that servitig the white race in any capaci- ty is our supreme mission in the world. Negroes with efucation, ability and eans, must fight the battles of the race. In other words, they must work for the race uytil its ignorance is wiped out, its. disease is cured, its in- stitutions-are built and its inalienable rights are granted and are made se- cure. They work for members of the race who refuse to work for them. The task. is baing done by sixty or seventy thousand Negroes for the other twelve “million. It is not any greater disgrace for the enlightened to work on the ignorant than it is for the ignorant to work for the enlight- ened. Negroes who refuse to work for members of their race are leftovers from slavery, and do not deserve a place in any race. They ought to be mad sills and door mats for aspiring’ races. ‘A race is not civilized until it gets self-appreciation enough to serve its own race in the-kiteben or at ‘the desk, in the washtub or in the schoolroom. The Negro race must be cured of its internal- prejudice. It is high time that leaders, teach- ers, and social welfare workers were addressing themselves to the task of changing thevattitude of the race on this phase of our social and economic problem. As much as we hate to con- fess it, nine-tenths of the Negroes in this country like discrimination and jim-crowism. They practice these things among themselves, and they, pay white people to practice the same on them. There can be no relief from this inexplicable, humiliating sit- uation until the Negro learns that’ self-abasement “and race depreciation | aro-abominations in the sight of God.

ADDRESSES - HOWARD PARK ASSOCIA. lAsace-wen tie iechane ens sioner was the principal speaker at this week's meeting of. the Howard Park Citizens Association. Theses sion was held at the Lutheran Church ‘of Our. Redeemer. i ation. When jim-crowism ‘was in its infancy, Negroes were sent by. side doors .or up alleys ‘to buzzard: roosts. The management watched a ean high perch and saw ingly, willingly and increasingly -we aecepted the place assigned us. Theatre man- agers reasoned that’since we were pa- tronizing the- roosts so. generously, that they could make more money. by setting up jim-crow: theatres, To the shrewd and rapacious white business men we are a big asset and a huge joke. We dress up in our best to go to the worst place they ear give us and we grin and applaud. God help us, Theatre managers have found. that it is a profitable thing tc build jim-erow theatres and make Ne- groes finance race discrimination, Negroes support theatres owned and operated. by white men who will mot admit them to any-part of their play- houses down town. Think of Negroes [financing race discrimination! Brainy Negroes haven't any more gense and spine’on this question than the ignorant ones. We are too lazy and too cowardly to think out loud on this question. We are too satisfied in using~other peoples’ things. We are too lazy or too tiniorous to make something for ourselves, as long as we can get it without the effort. We must stop financing race discrimination, | Negroes do not know that it is bet- ter to own, outright, the tail of a /mouse that it is to rent, lease or bor- ‘row the head of a lion. We must learn ‘the moral value of ownership. S ‘The Negro who has industry and courage enough to buy a cabin is worth infinitely more-to: the race than the Nogro who is satisfied in a rented castle, Here is a case of brains without sense, In this city Negroes who. were fighting with the N. A. A. ©. P. pgainst segregation rented « jim-crow hall in which they gavean N. A. AJ C. P. benefit! Two blocks away, they could have secured a clean modern hall (about the same size, with far better ventilation) owned by Negroes. These same Negroes who have brains without sense and without shame, went to the owners of the Negro hail and asked for a contribution for the.N, A: A.C. P. They didnot ‘ask, nor did they expect a contribution from the owner of the jim-crow hall. The N. A. A. C. P. cannot win its great battle against jim-crowism and race discrimination with Negroes of this type carrying the banners and leading the procession. Our public hall situation in Wash- ington is due to the condition of our jim-crow minds. We rented Conven- tion Hall until ‘the white folks gave us a final put-out. Now we are rais- ing sand because they do not want: us in the new Auditorium, | After a while gome white’ man wil! come along: and. finance a jim-crow’auditerium for us and. we will pay him for it. We néed a great modern public halt in Washington, and until we get it, us have sense enough to use the halls owned by Negroes. We haye financed. jim-ctowism Jong. enough. hife and work by continuing the cus- tom of an annual song service of Ne- gro spirituals.” Mr, Burleigh at this service sung his latest, “Lazarus,” “WHITER THAN Sow" Recently we saw an advertisement containing a group picture of clored singers announcing a late phonograph record of two sacred’ songs done in ‘quartet voice, one of them the famil- iar “Whiter ‘than Snow.” Of all the travesties ona race this “Whiter than Snow” song is about the vilest thing imaginable. ‘Think of blacks. magni- flying “white” in a song, why it's ri- diculous on. the surface. 0 We never have ‘taken any: stock in ‘the generally ageepted idea that God, the Father, Jesus Christ, His Son and all angels of heaven gre, or ever have ‘been white. We don’t believe a word ‘of it. Some Negroes think God'is a big white man with long flowing white hair and long white beards and think Christ the ‘same. ‘Some’ of us when converted say we saw a “lily-white man” reach out his “white hand” and save us from-sinking down—a bigger lie on Jesus Christ never was ‘told. He has just as much right to be black as white, or red as brown. One thing I do know according to Bible history is that Christ was-horn-of Jewish par- entage and a Jew certainly is not -An- glo-Saxon, or white, at least in its truest sense. Personally, we do not believe in a “white” heaven or black hell or else Black ‘folk, red folk and brown folk, would be foand in another such seq: gation policy which no. religion should embrace. ‘There is no such thing as color if God is a spirit and certainty, that God is, we believe. In this segregated world, don't sing er teach your chil- gren’-to sing—“I long to be whiter ‘than snow, whiter than snow, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.” ‘Who wants to be? Wedon’t. We want to be PURER, not-whiter than snow. Te some soul happened to return trom the dead snd said that God was black instead of white, Christianity at once would ge up in smoke and all the white and colored ‘churches; no doubt, would immediately be demolished since no- body seems to care about a thing that’s “BLACK” somehow, unless its material for clothing. =| _» delegation of visiting Haitians, Emanzel Dominguez; a Congressman from ‘the Black republic; Normil Charles a sculptor, and Napolean J.

The restriction of colored people in use of muniple swimming pools and bath houses in this city was upheld by Judge Shaw in the case of Geo. Cushney against the city to prevent the enforcement of a rule allowing Negroes to use the pools only half day in each week. The judge decided that Sections 51 and 52 of the civil code permit the setting up of restrictions. Everyone Prefers The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM "Keep the home fires burning," sounds well in song. Of course, it's important to have first the home. Whether it be the flat, rented house or purchased property that concerns one, spring time suggests the idea of improvements, the notion of decorations. In building the small house it is often necessary to economize on space in some room not in constant use, such as the dining room, hall or breakfast room. More space is not necessary, yet it is more attractive in furnishing these rooms to select decorations that will make them seem larger, if possible, and the proper wall paper will do much to create this effect. Enough has probably been written about scenic papers to show the home owner how easily these papers with perspective in their drawings will add several feet to -the effect of a small room. If your wall spaces are not too much broken one of these large scenies that comes in four or six strip sets will spread upon your walls either a charming garden, with long vistas of hills and water, or transform them into the cool interior of an open woods with glimpses of distant openings framed by the parallel lines of many stately trees. These papers have great decorative value, and, as we said before they add several feet to the apparent size of a small room. It is best usually to hang them above a dado, or paneling from two to three feet from the floor, and in a dining room, especially, this prevents the furniture from cutting too much into the design. To Whom It May Concern: Mrs. Geneva R. Patrick and I have been separated, since July 15, 1924; subsequent to which date, on the 23rd of aforeword month, a Bill of Separation was properly executed by us, under the terms of which, she waived all alimony, and gave to me "the absolute custody, control and possession of our four children." Creditors are hereby warned, that, not under any circumstances will I be responsible for any obligations incurred by her in my name. (Signed) WILLIAM T. PATRICK, Washington, D.C., March 22nd, 1926.

Cobb as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. By unanimous consent, Senator Pat Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, made the motion to reconsider on last Thursday. Under the rules Senator Harrison had no right to make the motion, but as a matter of Senatorial courtesy he was given unanimous consent. The rules provide that only a Senator who votes in the majority can move a reconsideratoin. Senator Harrison was absent when the Senate confirmed Mr. Cobb on Wednesday, March 17. The motion to reconsider is not taken seriously at the Capitol. It is regarded as a gesture for political effect in Mississippi. Semator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois is leading the fight for Mr. Cobb. He was the chairman of the subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, which held hearings and favorably reported the nomination to the full committee. The report of Semator Deneen's subcommittee was unanimously approved by the full committee. No action will be taken on the motion to reconsider until next week. Senator Harrison is out of the city and will not return until Monday. BISHOP G. L. BLACKWELL SUGGUMBS BISHOP G. L.

PAGE FIVE By James R. Taylor It requires courage to face fruitless effort, to take up the broken strands of a life's work, to look bravely towards the future and proceed undaunted onward. The man or woman who is not self reliant is weak, hesitating and doubting, simply because they dread failure. The Alchemists of old, failing t or transmute the baser metals into gold, resulted in the birth of chemistry. They failed in their efforts, but they brought into vogue the natural processes of filtration, distillation and crystallization. This is true with men in all walks of life. An artist may paint a picture today, tomorrow the sale may fail because of some defect.

ALCOES WIN DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP PAGE SIX DEFEATCARLISLES IN SECOND TILT By Louis R. Lautier The Alcoes regained their lost title the last Tuesday night at the Lincoln Colonnade when they defeated the Carlisles in the second game of the series, for the basketball championship of the District of Columbia. The score was 26 to 25. Van Harris Stars It was Van Harris, Alcoes' center, who came through in fine style at the beginning of the second half and sent his team to the front as he shot four fields goals. The Carlisles fought valiantly in the last few minutes of play to win, but "Soup" Turner managed to stay with the ball in a jumping contest and the Carlisles were prevented from even attempting a shot within the last minute and a half which might have meant the game. From start to finish it was close—too close for either "Judge" Smith or Matt Taylor to be comfortable. Near the close "Judge's" charges did pile up a seven point lead, the largest at any stage of the game, but it was only a moment before this lead was cut down and only one point separated the two teams. Carlisles Lead in First Half Trigg started the scoring by a field goal from a corner. Eddie Davis dropped a free throw into the basket, and the count stood 2-1. Smith sent the Carlisles to the front by a field goal. Van Harris tied the score with a foul shot. The Alcoes were using a five-man zone defense, which forced the Carlisle shots were wasted. "Soup" Turner made a field goal, and the Alcoes forged ahead, 5-3. Captain Graves made a corking good shot from mid-floor. Willie Davis was substituted for Eddie Davis and immediately made a field goal. Ev Davis followed him and tied the count at 7-all. Ev Davis followed him with another field goal giving the Carlisles the lead again. Van Harris dropped a foul shot and the score stood, 9-8. Smith shot from under the basket and increased the Carlisles lead. Whitted who was substituted for Wheatherles, made 1 out of 2 free throws. Eddie Davis returned to the game in place of Smith. Soup Turner shot from under the basket. Braddick made a field goal. The half ended with the Carlisles leading by a score of 14 to 11. Carlisles Take Lead At the beginning of the second half, Van Harris came down the floor with a burst of speed and shot. Eddie Davis made his first field goal. Van Harris dribbled down the floor and made another field goal. On a pass from Weatherless, Van again shot and the Alcoes took the lead, 17 to 16. Fowler was substituted for Willie Davis, and the Carlisles called for time. When play was resumed, Trigg got the ball under the basket and scored a field goal. Van Harris made another field goal. "Soup" Turner scored from a corner, making the count, 23-16. Bennie Hill was substituted for Fowler. Smith got a field goal from under the basket. Smith fouled on Harris and Van was given two shots. He made both free throws good. Whitted was substituted for Graves, and Ev Davis for Smith. Eddie Davis made a foul. The count was 25 to 19. The Carlisles rallied. Willie Davis made a field goal. Time was taken out. Three minutes and a half remained to play. Sam Lacey gave the Carlisles a free throw for "Judge" Smith's coaching from the sidelines and Eddie Davis made the foul shot Graves and Willie Davis both counted on a double foul, making the score 26-23. Braddick scored a field goal "Soup" Turner then stayed with the ball until the timekeepers' whistle Alcoes(26) We'h'less,f 0 0 0 Turner,f 3 0 6 Whitted,f 0 1 1 Harris,c 4 4 12 Graves,g 1 1 3 Trigg,g 2 0 4 Totals 10 6 26 Officials: Lacey and "Mouse" Johnson.

S., will return to the saddle and ride the Coffroth handicap next Sunday. Harry Stutts, who was to have ridden Princess Doreen, was one of seven jockeys, owners and trainers ruled off the turf for life by the Kentucky, State Racing Commission Saturday. The Coffroth handicap will be worth nearly $100,000 to the owner of the winner, and the Audley Farm filly was one of the favorites. Sande has not ridden in races since last fall. Jockie Stutts, Noel, Wallace and Harvey were "ruled off the turf for life and denied all privileges" by the Kentucky officials. The action followed exposure of "fixed" races and a "jockey ring." THE SPORT REVIEW LOUIS R. LAUTIER, Sports Editor SPORTS CHATTER OMEGA WINS IN COMPOSITE SCORE ALCO-CARLISLE SERIES HOWARD UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC OFFICIALS "HARD-BOILED" Howard University athletic officials have again proved themselves "hard-boiled." Some weeks ago a discussion was begun in this column of the situation growing out of the withdrawal of Howard from membership in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the subsequent severance of athletic relations between member institutions of the C. I. A. A. and Lincoln University because of the refusal of Lincoln to follow a resolution adopted by the association severing athletic relations between its members and Howard. It was proposed that all differences involved in this situation be submitted to a board of arbitrators for settlement with a view to resumption of athletic relations. Three members of this arbitration board, it was proposed, should be representatives of Howard, three representatives of the C. I. A. A., and these six-representatives should choose three impartial persons who are engaged in athletic work. Believing that an open discussion would be helpful toward a settlement, several persons were asked to comment upon this proposal. The opening discussion was made by Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, athletic director in the local high schools, who has a fine grasp of collegiate athletics. His article was followed by one by T. L. Puryear, president of the C. I. A. A. Mr. Puryear expressed the opinion that these differences should be adjusted. DAVIS WONT DISCUSS SUBJECT As president of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard, Dr. E. P. Davis was called upon for a statement of his views with regard to a settlement of the differences between Howard and the C. I. A. A. In reply, he mailed a copy of the statement made by him at the time of the withdrawal of Howard and stated that "at present I have no further comment to make." MEANS ATHLETIC WAR This closed attitude of the Howard University athletic officials means an athletic war among the colleges. It means that Howard will have Forward Pass Rules Reopen Conflict New York—The football rules committee has started all over again the war between liberal and conservative followers of the gridiron game. The rules committee ignored the recommendation of the football coaches association that the regulations be left as they were in 1925, and proceeded to tinker with one very touchy point—the forward pass. Always Deplored Ever since the forward pass was discovered, its place in the game has been deplored by a certain group which preferred football as it was played two decades ago. Although the pass made the game the spectacular, thrilling spectacle it is today, there were always those who wanted to return to the days when the ball was advanced by running or kicking and not by a modified species of basketball. Partial Victory This group now has won a partial victory. The rules now restrict use of the pass by imposing a five-yard penalty for each uncompleted pass after the first one in a sequence of downs. The risk of a five-yard loss thus is added to the rick of losing the ball which a quarterback always takes when he calls for a pass. It seems likely that football strategians will have to put their heads together and figure out new offensive tactics to meet the new conditions. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MARCH 26. 1926 nothing to do with Hampton, Shaw, Virginia Union, North Carolina A. & T., Johnson C. Smith, Virginia Normal, Virginia Seminary and the other members of the C. I. A. A. It means that Howard has unlimited funds with which to run athletics and can afford to transport to Washington schools from great distances. It means poorer competition in all sports in which Howard engages other than football. It means that once more Lincoln will have no football schedule. It means that Howard regards itself as a law unto itself in athletics. self as a law unto itself in athletics. It is in short a "public-be-damned" attitude. If Howard can get away with it, all well and good; but it is not believed that it can. A CONTEMPORARY'S VIEW G. L. Mackey, sports editor of The Baltimore Afro-American, has the following to say with reference to the situation in which Lincoln finds itself as a result of having cast its lot with Howard: "Lincoln University has signed on the dotted line and will play Howard University on Thanksgiving Day which means that the Chester County school will not be included on the visiting list of the schools of the C. I. A. A. "Evidently Lincoln has not profited by the lesson learned last year when she was forced to meet second rate teams and her scedule was limited to clubs which did not give a school of her standing sufficient competition to compare with Howard. However, the two met on Thanksgiving in Philadelphia and played a listless scoreless tie. "Lincoln Alumni about evenly divided on the question of re-entering the Association, and refused to enter into a contract with Howard at a meeting in Baltimore a few months ago, for the annual classic. Many still believe she should enter the Association. Howard has a few good games on her program including Wilberforce, Atlanta and West Virginia. Just what sort of schedule Lincoln will have to offer remains to be seen. "The proposed college association by Howard looks nice on paper, but it is doubtful if it will prove practical. Besides a delightful luncheon, nothing was accomplished at the meeting in Washington several weeks ago. Personally we think both Lincoln and Howard are in error by refusing to arbitrate with the C. I. A. A. Some plan could be worked out agreeable to all concerned rather than assume an attitude of rule or ruin." Howard Baseballers Prepare for Campaign Many Intersectional Games Slated In Schedule By Earl D. Bridges Fortified with a galaxy of players, and with Captain Monroe at the helm, the 1926 Howard University baseball team is prepared to face the forthcoming season with excellent championship prospects. A squad of forty members, including several from last year's team responded to the initial drill on Monday under Coach Burr's direction. Letter men who have reported so far are Captain Monroe, Manager Codwell, and Dennis Simpson, in the infield; Harry Payne and "Tick" Smith in the outfield; Roy and "Lefty" Slade moundsmen. Coach Burr with only two weeks before the team's invasion of the Southland, has been sending the squad through general conditioning workouts, and the men are almost ready for the work that will lead them up to the big games ahead. The coach has announced two practice games for Saturday morning, which will serve the double purpose of giving Coach Burr a line on the aspirants, and to fit regulars as well as rookies for the grind of the campaign. The schedule so far includes many intersectional games. The team will leave on Saturday week for an invasion of the South, and may travel to Wilberforce later in the season. 11th & U Sts.

North 1234 North 1234 Big Easter Specials at Bargain Prices 100 Neckwear Plain Silk and Silk 39c to $1.50 Knit—also Bow Ties of desired fabrics— The Delta Big Five of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity upset all dope when they beat Kappa Alpha Psi, featuring the four horsemen, by a score of 27-19. Kappa had been the favorites from the start as four of their men played excellent basketball with the Wendell-Phillips High of Chicago, and were on the varsity basketball team of Howard University this present season. In the first half of the game things looked bright for Kappa and betting was running 4 to 1 in their favor. Kappa scored two field goals and eight fouls, making a count of twelve, Omega scored two field goals and two foul goals making the count 12 to 6. It was in the beginning of the second half when Coates pulled the first string horsemen on ponies. The game was a magnificent spectacle of relentless fight from the blow of the whistle until the faultless strategy of coach Westmoreland of the Delta Big Five, with Delta's reserve strength sent the Kappa boys back to their stall. Throughout the game, the gaurding of Campbell, Lee, Nurse and Carter was excellent. The clean game as played by Omega was one of the outstanding lights of the game. The line-up: | Omega | Kappa | | :--- | :--- | | Coates | R.F. | | Johnson | L.F. | | Goff | Center. | | Lee | R.G. | | Campbell | L.G. | Terrell | Omega—substitutions: Freeman, Cobbs, Carter, Nurse, and McCoy. Kappa—Jefferson, Spencer. On Saturday, March 27, Omega plays Alpha the first of a series of three games. During the game an altercation occurred. Jefferson slightly "roughed" Louis Coates. His brother, Wilbur Coates, ran onto the court from the side-lines and struck Jefferson in the face. A free-for-all fight between members of the two fraternities was narrowly averted.

His material is uncertain. There are no regulars on hand. Hammond, Dorsey, Jones and Henderson are missed. The promising players are "Sonny" Robinson, Mavritte, Janifer, "Seoops" Johnson and Ford, who filled in various positions last year and made possible the championship. Some of the rookies are promising, Twyman and Robinson are showing well as understudies for Captain Davis, who is disqualified because of the two sports rule. Dabney and "Wee-Wee" Hutchinson appear to be classy fly-chasers, with Mavritte to fill in the outer-garden when not doing mound duty. "Sonny" Robinson is a fixture at third, with Carter and Scott having the edge on contenders for parking space around second. First base is still uncertain, but the pitching will be taken care of by Bailey and C. Thomas. Practice began early in March, and according to the coach the spirit of the candidates for the team is fine.

March 25—Spring practice has begun on the old red hill of the Tiger camp. Coach Taylor is not quite sure about his regular string but quite a few of the youngsters are exhibiting form that will bear close watching. A number of the old recruits are back in the fold. The Wallace duet, with southpaw Hargrove, Amis and Drew backing him will more than likely operate conditions in the box. The fast stepping quartet, Blackwell, Smith, Cook and Valentine are stepping with rare form in the outer garden and his troubles there will soon come to a determination.

He and Rube Bernstein, another burlesque manager have arranged to place a colored show in a Broadway house at the close of the present burlesque season. Jack knows how to produce a show, and he is not afraid of spending money to do it right; and his methods, have been justified by the history of "Seven-Eleven" as to the top money show on the circuit for two successive seasons. CARNIVAL BEING ORGANIZED E. Hill of New York is organizing the Hill Greater Shows. He announces on his letter head that he will carry rides, shows and concessions.

DUNBA THEATRE R. H. MURRAY, Mgr. NEGRO ARTISTS ARE POPULAR IN VIENNA A United Press dispatch that has been widely published in the daily and Sunday papers reports that Negro performers and musicians are extremely popular in mid-Europe, and especially in Vienna. Here are some extracts from the longthy story: "Europe, according to present indications, is the place toward which American Negroes will in the future turn as their land of promise. Throughout Europe the color line is a thing unknown, while in European theatres a colored skin is a real asset. "For years past Negroes have been extremely popular in France and other Latin countries, where they have been accorded a status equal to that enjoyed by people with white skins. "Since the war this popularity of the blacks has spread to other European States. To-day there is hardly a city of any size where a few Negroes are not to be encountered every day, especially during the summer months, and there is no national capital which does not welcome the Negro traveller as it does the white tourist. The time is past when a black skinned man attracted undue attention as he walked along the streets or dined in the restaurants of Europe. "In its hospitable treatment of the colored races Vienna has led the procession. Vienna has for centuries been accustomed to entertain people from every clime and continent in the world. "On the part of the theatrical world this welcome to Vienna has been particularly cordial. Theatre managers have turned to the Negro artists from America as an innovation which would swell box office receivs. "Actors have gladly fraternized with their black colleagues while patrons of the theatre have not only exchanged their money for tickets night after night without stint but have also fallen over themselves seeking introductions to the most prominent of the Negro visitors in order that they might invite them to teas and dimers. "Both in troupes and as individual entertainers Negroes are to be found throughout the year in one or more of the Vienna theatres and cabarets. Occasionally also some well known Negro singers give concerts, on which nights the sign "Ausverkauft" (sold out) is always hung before the box office window long before time for the curtain." THERESA BROOKS JOINS ETHEL WATERS' SHOW Theresa Brooks, the ingenee, joined the Ethel Waters company at Pittsburgh, going on with but a fifteen-minute rehearsal. Despite the lack of preparedness, the clever little actress was an instantaneous hit with Elmore Theatre patrons. The show is in the Koppin Theatre, Detroit, this week. Here and There Lawrence Baker and his show are in Burlington, N.C., where they will remain until Easter. "Slim" Thomas will have charge of the R. C. McQueen-Chr堡ston Minstrels.

So does the editor of this page who trouped with him on the Ed. H. Winn cretly minstrels twenty-six years ago. Herman Brown and his wife are playing the Liberty Theatre, Chattanooga, where Mr. Reevin will get a chance to give the act a personal review. Professor Ralph Baldwin of Hartford, Conn., presiding at the Eastern Music Supervisors conference at Atlantic City, declared last week that jazz is on the decline, and that in a few years no more will be heard of it, save a recollection.

TURNER FEATURE AT VOCATIONAL SCHOOL On last Friday the assembly of the Margaret Washington Vocational School was under the auspices of the millinery class and the advanced class in domestic science. Two playlets were rendered, "The Millinery Shop" and "Every Girl." These were written by Mrs. V. T. Turner, who is a staff editor of the Tribune and instruction in advanced class in domestic science. "The Millinery Shop" is in two acts and contrasts the desirable with the undesirable shop. Under the guise of play a real lesson was taught in salesmanship.

A clothing bureau will give some timely and valuable information that the shoppers should have as to the real value of material. The children's clothes for all ages and for all occasions will undoubtedly appeal to the mothers' hearts. The domestic science classes will have interesting phases of homekeeping and cafeteria management to bring to the public and will serve a lenten dinner as a practical demonstration of their skill in the culinary art. The millinery department will give a lesson in salesmanship. The class in art craft will demonstrate making articles of crepe paper for the decorative table.

A brief item in the last week's issue of this paper recorded the passage by the Indianapolis city council of a segregation ordinance. The news came to most people like a thunder clap out of a clear sky. No intimation that such a measure was under consideration in this Northern city had reached any Negro newspaper so far as can be learned, yet the ordinance had been duly introduced at a previous meeting and had been referred to a committee. The final action was taken at a meeting of the council on Monday night, March 15. There was some hope among those who read the news article in the Tribune, which was sent out by the Associated Negro Press, that the measure had passed only one branch of the city council and might be defeated in the other branch. Investigation shows, however, that the council in that city consists of only one branch. While no word has gone out concerning the matter, it seems highly probable that the mayor will sign it. Measure Has New Features From the full copy of the ordinance in the Indianapolis Daily News of March 16, it is learned that the terms of the ordinance differ in some particulars from previous attempts in the same direction in other cities which the courts have held invalid. Section One reads as follows: "Sec. 1. It shall be unlawful for any white person to hereafter establish a home-residence on any property-located in a Negro community, or portion of the municipality inhabited principally by Negroes, or for any Negro to establish a home-residence on any property located in a white community or portion of the municipality inhabited principally by white people, except on the written consent of a majority of the persons of the opposite race inhabiting such community, etc." It is provided that a person already owning property in any section may move into the property without obtaining consent. It is also provided that the racial restriction shall not apply to purchase and sale—only to residence. White Business Not Barred from Negro Communities Strictly speaking, the ordinance does not relate to mere residence, but to "establishing" a residence. Moreover there are no restrictions as to establishing or maintaining a business. Section Four of the ordinance defines "community" thus: "The terms 'white community' and 'Negro community' as used in this ordinance shall be taken and held to mean and embrace every residence fronting on either side of any street within 300 feet of the location of the property involved, measuring along the middle of the streets in any and all directions." The paper states that the crowd in the council chamber was the largest in many months. Republicans Unanimous for the Ordinance Only one member of the council voted against the measure, Edward B. Raub, a Democrat. From the Indianapolis Recorder of last week it is learned that there was a large protest mass meeting of the colored people at the Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Tuesday night. It was addressed by Dr. Sumner Furness, John Bankett, and others. Dr. Furness said that the Negro voters should hold the Republican party and its chiefs to strict accountability. To Test the Measures in the Courts The Recorder also says that a five-thousand-dollar defense fund will be raised by the N. A. A. C. P. to carry the case if need be to the U. S. Supreme Court. It would seem that the ordinance is so loosely drawn that it would scarcely stand a real test in the courts. The important and arresting feature, however, is the fact that such an ordinance could receive even a respectable minority support, much less practically unanimous support, in the council of a northern city of such size and importance; and above all, get the unanimous support of the Republican members of the body. The concert tour of the city of the Birney Choral Society, under the direction of Miss Edna Gordon will soon be started. They are booked for many of the local churches. LYNCHINGS IN 1925 "Mob law has thrown down the gauntlet to the churches and all other organizations standing for law, order and justice thru the courts," says the Commission on Race relations of the Federal Council of Churches in announcing its fourth annual Non-Lynching roll of honor. Seventeen lynchings were recorded in 1925, showing an increase of one over the preceding year, when sixteen were reported, the statement points out. All victims were Negroes. "Furthermore, the goal of achieving a lynchless land in 1926, for which the churches were striving, cannot be reached this year, for already during January there has been one Negro put to death by a mob," the report says. Two unusual events are recorded. For the first time in the records of the evil Texas was free of lynching and Utah had its first lynching in forty-one years. "During the past year five states which had previously been on the honor roll, namely: Arkansas, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama and Utah, lost their places because of mob murder within their borders" continues the document. "In the case of Utah, there had not been a lynching previously since 1884. Texas was placed upon the roll because for the first time since the beginning of full records of lynching in 1882 this state was clear of lynching." The fourth annual roll on honor of the states free from lynching in 1925 contains the names of all the states except the five named above and the following in addition: Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Virginia. HOLY WEEK TO BE CELEBRATED AT PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y. W. C. A. Dr. Jackson to Speak Sunday The Y. W. C. A. will celebrate holy week with a series of noon-day meetings with a different speaker for each day. The Sunday Vesper services will be addressed by Dr. Algeronn B.

E. Keyser on Wednesday. The Thursday service will have Mrs. R. W. Brooks and Mrs. M. I. Hill as speakers. Mrs. A. V. Thornton will be leader of the Friday meeting with Rev. P. A. Scott as speaker, while Mrs. Matilda Wesley and Mrs. E. V. C. Williams are scheduled to speak on Saturday. Some Activity Announcements The approaching spring has prompted the 'Girls Reserve Club to begin preliminary arrangements for an out-door program. This club will have a special part in the Easter Vesper services. ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCED BY Y.M.C.A. The annual membership contest between the Druid Hill Avenue Branch, Y. M. C. A. of Baltimore, Md., and the Twelfth Street Branch, Y. M. C. A. will be held March 31 to April 6th. The campaign organization has been announced as follows: C. B. Lee, general chairman; Perry W. Howard, vice-general chairman; Campbell C. Johnson, general secretary. The division chairmen are John A. Lankford, J. P. Atkinson, Dr. W. O. Claytor, Charles H. Houston; division secretaries, J. P. Neal, F. M. Robinson, T. E. Simmons, L. W. Johnson; captains, S. W. Rutherford, Dr. M. L. T. Grant, James T. Kelly, Raymond Contee, Charles A. Booker, Julius Carroll, E. S. Heywood, Milton Delaney, W. H. Mazyck, Fred R. Byrd, Leo P. Wilson, Fletcher Turner. The annual report of the Branch for the last fiscal year showed an increase in membership in two and a half years from 50 to 1,117 men and boys. In addition to the usual "Y" activities 40 civic and community organizations make use of the building, a free employment bureau is maintained and free lodging furnished men and boys who are stranded in the city without funds. Through cooperation with the Board of Children's Guardians, Associated Charities, Travelers' Aid and other social welfare organizations the association finds an opportunity to do much essential welfare work. It is interesting to note that the dormitory of the "Y" which serves as a home for about 90 young men is not only self supporting but contributes about 72 per cent of the revenue of the building. Membership fees and public contributions are used solely for the development of the "Y" program and for service to the men and boys of the community. The Executive Committee of the campaign has set a goal of 1,000 members in seven days. It is believed that at least this number must be secured to win over Baltimore this year. GOOD BILL AT STANDARD PHILADELPHIA, PA. The Tasmanians, European whirling butterflies opened a good show at the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia.

PEOPLES DRUGSTORES Nineteen Stores The Better The Better To Serve You THEATRICAL NEWS THE TITANIC FILM EFFORT OF 1926 The largest motion picture set ever constructed and the greatest number of persons ever used for one scene in an American-made motion picture are two of the outstanding features of "The Wanderer." The scene, which is that of an unnamed Biblical city, was built in the foothills of Santa Monica, California, and covers many hundred acres of ground. More than 200 carpenters and scores of technical assistants worked more than three weeks constructing the hundred massive buildings and walls for the set. For the scene depicting the destruction of the city by earthquake and fire, thousands of actors were employed, as well as hundreds of lions, tigers, elephants and camels. More than two years were spent preparing for the production and four months were required for the actual filming. Many thousands of costumes were prepared, occupying the time of 100 stressesmatters for almost a month. Two crews of men, laboring day and night, worked for weeks constructing the huge interior sets within the studio. A score of jewelry craftsmen were engaged to make three thousand rings, bracelets and arm bands as were used in the days before Christ.

Mme. W. R: Dudley Manufacturing Co. Washington, D.C. 465 Florida Avenue, N.W. Phone, North 8149 Annual Convention to be held April 6 In its annual session here April 6 to 8, the National Race Congress will consider the question of properly organizing the Colored farmers of the country. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the organization, says that at present there is much dissatisfaction among these people over the almost impossibility to procure loans from Federal Loan Banks. He said that the matter will be thoroughly investigated by his organization with the view to determine whether the trouble is due to the lack of knowledge as a procedure on the part of farmers or whether on account of race discrimination. At any rate, it is intended to take the farmers attending this session and start a farmers organization that may reach national proportions. Cognizance is taken also of pending rail road legislation before the Federal Congress. The measure has been referred to the legal department of the Race organization for study and recommendation, together with other bills being opposed by the congress. Invitations are being sent to representatives of such trades affected as cooks and waitresses to appear at this session and explain the objectionable features to be fought.
