HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS FORCIBLY EJECTED FROM TROLLEY CAR Pythian Building Goes to Receivers if Lawyers Fail FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION HIGH SCH Pythian ATTORNEY STRYING TO ARRANGE AN AGREEMENT Justice Frederick L. Siddons has under advisement the suit brought on behalf of the Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia against Lawrence E. Murray for an accounting, a receivership and substitution of trustees. A hearing was had before him last Friday and Saturday. The case was argued by Judge J. Wilmer Latimer for the Pythian Grand Lodge on a rule to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed pending the determination of the suit. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins made the argument for the defendant. At the conclusion of the hearing last Saturday, Justice Siddons stated that unless the attorneys in the case should reach an agreement by the end of this week an order would be entered. The Pythian Grand Lodge is represented by Judge Latimer and Attorney, George C. Gertman. Mr. Murray is represented by Attorneys James A. Cobb, Benjamin L. Gaskins and George E. C. Hayes. In the answer to the rule to show cause filed through his attorneys, Mr. Murray claims that at the time of the purchase of the Pythian Temple at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, the Pythian Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia had no money and that the $5,000 cash involved in the transaction was put up by the Supreme Grand Lodge, which took for the money advanced a third deed trust and directed that the title be placed in trustees to be held for members of order in the District and not for the Grand Lodge alone. Mr. Murray further sets up in his answer that the Supreme Lodge is the source of all authority and the District Grand Lodge is simply its creature and is possessed of no authority to act for the thirteen subordinate lodges, Grand Court of Calanthe on the subordinate Courts of Calanthe which comprise the order in the District of Columbia. He claims the bringing of the suit was not authorized by the Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia, as the Grand and subordinate Courts of Calanthe were not represented in the Grand Lodg session which passed a resolution instructing Grand Lodge officers to file suit. None of the subordinate lodges, Mr. Murray claims, authorized or requested the Grand Lodge to contract or negotiate for a loan on this Pythian Temple. He also denied that the Pythians of the District of Columbia have determined to borrow $7,500 to pay off an overdue balance of a debt secured by a second deed of trust on the Pythian Temple. He denied that there is a third trust remaining unpaid. He claims that the Supreme Lodge is secured by the second trust and that it has not demanded that this indebtedness be liquidated. He says that he (Continued on page 5). MAYOR OF INDIANAPOLIS SIGNS SEGREGATION ORDINANCE MAYOR OF INDIANAPOLIS SIGNS SEGREGATION ORDINANCE Indianapolis, Ind. The mayor has signed the residential segregation ordinance which was passed recently by the city council. The attorney general of the state, Arthur L. Gillion, has made a public statement to the effect that the measure is unconstitutional. Ordinances having the same purpose have been passed by several municipalities, notably by Baltimore, Richmond, Va., and Louisville. All of them fill when the United States Supreme Court struck down the Louisville ordinance in 1917. Since then, New Orleans has tried it. This case is now being carried to the Supreme Court under the sponsorship of the N. A. A. C. P. The Indianapolis ordinance will also be contested if an attempt is made to enforce it. WHITE WOMAN ADOPTS COLORED BOY Detroit, Mich., April 1—Mrs. Elizabeth Seidel, a white Christian Science practitioner, has adopted 14-year old Roy Murphy, an orphan. Mrs. Seidel is rich, but was once poor, and attributed her success in life to her failure to draw either color or class lines. Young Murphy has been placed in school. The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY CHOOL GIR Building CHARGED WITH MURDER OF "WIFE" "Trust in God—He will save you." Those were the words of hope offered by the married sister of Matilda Beatrice Jackson to the man, who had mortally stabbed her sister, as the verdict of a coroner's jury was being awaited last Friday at the District morgue. A few minutes later, the slayer, Petronius Don Henderson, 26, was led away to the District jail to await the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of his common law spouse, with whom he lived at 929 French street, northwest. The coroner's jury found that Matilda Beatrice Jackson came to her death as the result of a stab wound inflicted by Petronius Don Henderson. They ordered him held for the action of the grand jury. The killing occurred about 12:20 last Thursday morning. The Jackson girl was stabbed in front of 929 French street, northwest, where she and Don Henderson lived as man and wife. She was taken to her home on the second floor of the house, where he ripped her clothes from the neck down and bathed her wound. He went for Dr. Charles B. Fisher, of 1500 T street, northwest, but when the doctor arrived the girl had been take into Freedmen's Hospital. She was pronounced dead upon arrival by Dr. Howard J. Jackson. The autopsy showed that the stab wound had penetrated her heart. Mrs. Annie M. Green, of 929 French street, northwest, told the coroner's jury that between 7 and 8 o'clock last Thursday evening the girl went to a party, telling Henderson that she would return about 10:30. He was in bed at the time she left, Mrs. Green said. The girl failed to return at the appointed hour and Henderson got up and dressed and between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock he made three trips into the streets and back looking for the girl. On his last trip out, Mrs. Green said, she heard him go into the bureau drawer. She said she did not hear anything further until he put a key in the front door and heard the girl groan as he made her go upstairs. "As soon as she opened the room door," Mrs. Green testified, "I heard something fall, and heard her say, 'Oh? Don, why have you done this?'" Mrs. Green says she went upstairs and found Henderson bathing the girl's wound. He asked her to bathe the wound, she said, while he went for a doctor, but she refused and told him she would have to call the police. A few minutes later he went for a doctor but did not return. He was arrested the next morning at 311 Oakdale street. At the No. 2 police station Henderson made a confession in which he said that on the night of the killing "I went to bed and left my intended wife, Matilda Beatrice Jackson, all dressed getting ready to go out. I did not know where she was going. I could not go to sleep. About 12 o'clock I got up and dressed and went out on the streets looking for Matilda. "I saw her on French street between Ninth and Tenth streets, northwest, coming towards home. We both reached the house about the same time, and I asked her why she was so late. She answered, "At a party." I asked her to take me to the place where the party was and at the same time took hold of her by the arm and pulled her off the steps. I had my finger nail file in my hands and she fell against me. "Matilda said, 'Oh! you have cut me' "We both went into the house and when she got to the top of the steps she fell. I turned on the light and picked her up and laid her on the floor of our room and then took a pocket knife and cut her clothes from the neck down to where she was cut. I then got some water and a rag and washed the wound." After then he described his movements up to the time of his arrest. Detectives found a bloody pocket knife in the room and also a finger nail-file. The finger nail file, they testified at the inquest, was without blood stains. The deputy coroner, who performed the autopsy, declared that the wound was made by the pocket knife and not the file. After he had been advised of his rights, Henderson voluntarily made a statement at the inquest in which he admitted that the story as told by Mrs. Green and he detectives of the slaying was substantially correct. He denied, however, that he and the girl had quarrelled. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1926 SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH BEGINS CELEBRATION On Sunday April 4th, Shiloh Baptist Church begins a program of two weeks celebration of the restoration of the church to the functions to which it was dedicated.

MILTON WALDRON pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, whose restored edifice with new organ will be opened to the congregation on Easter. that destroyed the pipe organ and otherwise damaged the premises.

Since then meetings have been held elsewhere while construction forces restored the damages. Insurance claims were not adjusted until last September; but since then Dr. J. Milton Waldron has directed the work with energetic leadership, and at the same time maintained religious interest and activity in the work of the institution with meetings that being other than at the church permitted the pushing of the work with (Continued on page 5) WASHINGTON M.

Clair closed with the reading of the appointments, the sixty-third session of the Washington Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

D. D. Turpeau, pastor and members of Warren Church made a most excellent host. All Pittsburgh was most cordial. CREOLES CLAIM THEY ARE NOT COLORED - New Orleans, La., April 1—Creole families of this city who have been living as white, have recently explained their right to do so by protesting that on logical grounds they are not colored. They assert that a Creole is a person of Spanish and French blood, with nothing colored about it. They profess to speak a pure French and assert that the so-called "Creole" is no more than the dialect French which their Negro slaves used to speak. Although there are many sureenough colored families in the city who claim to be Creoles, the protest of the lighter colored Creoles have nothing to cover their case. What is a Creole, and who cares? VIRGIN ILSE SELF GOVERNMENT BILL PASSED VIRGIN ILSE SELF GOVERNMENT BILL PASSED By Louis R. Lautier The Committee on Insular Affairs last Thursday favorably reported a bill introduced by Representative Edgar R.

The Insular Affairs committee held extensive hearings on the Kies and other bills. H. B. Berg and D. Hamilton Jackson, members of the St. Croix Colonial Council, and J. D.

Skills. It is understood that Rhinelander's attorneys will now go to the Appellate Court, an action which will take several months for consummation. At the same time Justice Morchauser denied the wealthy New Yorker a new trial, he allowed Mrs. Rhinelander's attorney, Lee Parsons Davis, $12,000 additional fees for his services in the trial and subsequent proceedings to date. It is being rumored that Rhinelander is preparing to establish a residence in a southern state for the purpose of bringing suit under favorable circumstances, should his appeal fail.

WARD OF VETS HOSPITAL IN CITY Colonel J. H. Ward, commander officer of the United States Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, Tuesday den- ied the report that he had been sus- pended from duty and that Colonel M. B. MAJOR WARD is Commandant at U. S. Veterans' Hospital, 91 at Tuskegee, Ala. His administration is the storm center of considerable agitation in the Veterans' bureau just now. Dallas Smith, who has charge of the area in which this hospital is located, had assumed supervision of the hospital. Colonel Ward declared that the report was absolutely false. He said that Dr. George S. Moore was temporarily in charge of the hospital in his absence. He pointed out that no one could take charge of a veterans hospital unless he is a doctor. Colonel Smith is not a doctor. Veterans Bureau officials made no statement relative to the Tuskegee hospital controversy. Major Cutter, the assistant to General Frak T. Hines, director of the Bureau, said that there was nothing to be said at this time, as the whole matter is being looked into. Besides Dr. Ward, Dr. J. D. Nelson of the hospital staff and W. Y. Jones, chief engineer, are also in the city. Dr. Nelson was ordered to report here for a hearing into charges of insubordination aided against him. He appeared before a special committee which held hearings last week. It is reported that Mr. Jones, who refused to tender his resignation at the request of Bureau officials, has been reinstated from the time of his suspension to January 1, last, which would give him pay for that period. He was requested to tender his resignation effective as of the date of his suspension, October 2, 1925. He succeeded, however, in getting his case reopened. He was suspended upon charges filed by Melvin J. Chisum. Mr. Chisum and A. L. Holsey are also in the city. They are at the N Liberty Hotel. Dr. Ward is stopping at the residence of Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, 213 Florida avenue, northwest. Mr. Chisum was the only person concerned in the hospital controversy, who was included to talk. He renewed his charge of a conspiracy on the part of certain Veteran Bureau officials to discredit an all-colored personnel. It is also reported that an investigation of conditions at the Tuskegee hospital was made in February last for the President by Major Durdin Van Law. MRS. GRAY DIES DING Mrs. Mary A. Gray, widow of the late Walter S. Gray, died March 23. She was buried Friday afternoon from 19th Street Baptist Church.

Jackson, one sister and one brother, three nieces and three nephews. 8 PAGES ONE SECTION PRICE 5 CENTS CONDUCTOR HANDLES STUDENTS ROUGHLY Employees of the Washington-Virginia Railway Co., in charge of a car that was part of a train leaving Alexandria at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday morning, ejected a group of Colored school girls from the car when they declined to vacate a section of seats they were occupying in order that a number of white boys might be seated. The girls were forcibly put off at Arlington junction by the conductor assisted by the motorman who came into the car, controller in hand. According to the girls the Misses Myra Addison, Corrine Brown, Margaret Chisley, Ernestine Jones; and several other girls who witnessed the whole action, there were no mature persons present to accord protection, nor was there any reason for disturbing the girls who occupied a section of the car all to themselves. The girls were students of either Armstrong or Dunbar High Schools. Neval Thomas, local secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. has been advised of the incident, and the girls have, it is reported, taken legal steps to obtain redress for the injuries inflicted by the rough handling, and the insult endured. COURT TO DECIDE PROPERTY HEIRS Who are the heirs to the property on Third street northwest, left by the late Julius Warren, Sr., who died July 4, 1906? That is the question that the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia is asked to settle in a friendly suit for the construction of the will of the late senior Warren. The suit was brought by Mrs. Angella Braxton Bishop, of 690 Fort-seventy sixth street, northeast, through Attorney Augustus W. Gray, against Mrs. Mary Theresa Dickson and her two infant sons, Alexander Dickson and Thaddeus Edgar Dickson, of 607 Q street, northwest. The late Julius Warren, Sr., before his death made a will, giving this property to his wife for life and at her death to his son, Julius Warren, Jr., and the heirs male of his body. The junior Julius Warren died before the widow and left no heirs, either male or female. The senior Warren, in his will had provided against such an event by declaring that if his son left no male heirs, this property was to go to the male heirs of his two granddaughters, Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Dickson. At the time of the death of the junior Warren, however, neither Mrs. Braxton nor Mrs. Dickson had married and therefore had no heirs, either male of female. After her marriage Mrs. Dickson had two sons who are capable of inheriting. Attorney Gray contends on behalf of Mrs. Bishop that title to the property is in the two girls by reason of default in heirs at the time of death of Julius Warren, Jr. There is no ill feeling between the two cousins. The suit was simply filed for a judicial determination of the title to the property. The senior Warren married twice. Mrs. Dickson is the daughter of the first wife, while Mrs. Bishop is the daughter of the second wife.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor THE ORIGIN OF EASTER RABBITS AND EGGS By C. Leslie Frazier The term Easter is derived from Ostara (also Eastre) the goddess of Spring referred to in the mythology of the Norsemen. The ancient Norsemen held a festival to Ostara, every year to celebrate the season of new birth. When we think of Spring, we think of new life—new leaves, new flowers, a new green carpet of grass. Because inside of an egg new life is seen in the birth of a chick, we can readily see why the Norsemen selected the egg to be the symbol of new life. Because mother rabbits have such large families, the rabbit was selected as a symbol of "much" new life. Hence the association by the Norsemen of eggs and rabbits with the thoughts of new life. They thought of new life because of Spring; and to celebrate Spring, they observed a festival held in honor of Ostara, their Spring goddess. The dyeing of eggs, so one legend goes, is due to the Norsemen's custom at festival time of the coloring of eggs with colors borrowed from the aurora borealis (the northern lights) and from the dawning hues of the Eastern sun. The earliest associations of Easter were with the renewal of life in nature, which in modern times serves as a symbol of "a new birth" or Christianity. To think of the resurrection of Christ is to think of new life (or birth), so this ancient custom, like many others, was practiced by the early Christians, and is observed in the Christian countries today as a celebration of the resurrection of Christ. Once upon a time Catholics could not eat eggs during Lent. It soon became a custom to bring eggs to the table on Easter Day, colored red to symbolize the joy of the Easter season. The children were told that Easter eggs came from Rome with the bells which on Thursday go to Rome and return Saturday morning. In some countries god-parents give colored eggs to their rod-children. Egg-picking is a game played by many children. This game consists of testing the strength of the shells. One child holds the end of his egg so that the point of it just shows above the hole made in the hand by holding the index fingers forward until its nail rests on the joint of the thumb. This egg is struck by another egg in the hand of another child. The egg that breaks first is then given to the owner of the stronger egg. This game is mostly played by boys. Egg-rolling is another pastime indulged in by children, which consists in rolling the eggs over the grass. In some sections of the country, eggs are hidden in the bushes and other out of the way places at night. The following day, Easter, the children search for the eggs which they have been told that the rabbits had laid. Another custom is to have the children place pretty colored baskets on the table at night, and in the morning find that the rabbit or rooster has laid some beautiful colored eggs in them. The custom in this city, and in this section of the country, is to buy dyes, then daddy and mother assisted by big sister and brother, and even the wee kiddies, all have a hand in dyeing the eggs, placing them in baskets of paper-grass with the artificial rabbit. After all is ready, the kiddies, generally with some older folks, go to a smooth lawn, or hillside, to roll their eggs as well as themselves, and otherwise enjoy what is usually their first outing of the year.

THE LEGEND OF THE EASTER BUNNY THE LEGEND OF THE EASTER BUNNY (From Afro-American) Spring had not come to the woods, although it was late in March. It was so cold that the children were afraid to come out. By and by Spring came, but the children did not know it. The birds and the animals wanted to see the ```markdown ``` children. "Why don't the children come?" they said. "Some one ought to go and tell them Spring has come," said the Bluebird. "My voice will frighten them," said the Bear. "And mine, too," said the wolf. "The rabbit is gentle," said the Robin. "Let him go." So the rabbit made some little baskets. In each he put some little violets, and the birds gave him little spotted eggs. When night came the Bunny went creeping down the street. Overhead the moon shone brightly. He put a little basket on each door step. Next morning when the children awoke, there were the pretty baskets. "Oh Spring has come! Spring has come!" the children said. "Hurrah! Hurrah!" And ever since we have been finding Easter eggs and baskets on our door steps early Easter morning.

THE MINISTER TO DAHOMEY Unknown to the younger generation, the political stage presented one of the most entertaining dramas of the 'game of office seeking here in Washington, in the closing years of the last century. The action centered around a new senator from Texas who had made many pre-election promises and was followed to Washington by those who hoped to collect. Among them was a gentlemen of color to whom the senator had facetiously promised the birth of "Minister to Dahomey." Needless to say the applicant did not know where Dahomey was or what were the duties of the office, but the office had a title and carried a salary and he wanted it; in fact, before he finally landed the job of "the entire supervision of the dumping of the waste baskets," he needed any kind of a job. Almost every day sees another name added to the list of those who in their own estimation or in that of their friends, are worthy to be president of Howard University. Like the character in the drama, they do not know the requirements of the office, but it has a title and a salary and they want it. Joking aside, the presidency of any university is a man's-size job, and Howard University, "a city set upon a hill," literally and figuratively, by reason of its position of leadership among the educational institutions of our group, is no exception. On the contrary it presents some unique and difficult problems which demand a certain type of man in addition to the usual requirements of executive capacity and experience: ripe scholarship of an infectious kind, sanity in relation to social problems, love of mankind especially of the youthful and exuberant type of student found in modern schools, capacity to lift men while disciplining them, ability to meet and to impress men of influence in behalf of the institution, and that power of repose which comes alone from a life well lived with a background of high ideals for the racial group.

SOMEBODY BLUNDEDRED The following letter in the New York Nation will probably be interesting to our readers: Atlanta's Negro Barbers To the Editor of The Nation: To the Editor of The Nation: Sir; Your recent editorial on The Rising Tide of Prejudice interested me partly for its grave subject and partly because I was until recently a citizen of Atlanta. Your account of the Common Council's attempt to put Atlanta Negro barbers out of business was correct so far as it went, and sufficiently disturbing, inasmuch as so far, the unpleasant facts could not be denied; but it gave only the first chapter in the story. Following the hostile vote of the common council came Chapter 2—protests from the city Chamber of Commerce, the Council of Churches and newspapers. Chapter 3 was reconsideration by the common council. Chapter 4 was a revised ordinance, not forbidding white men to visit Negro barber shops but forbidding white women to do so and white children under fourteen years of age. So far as women are concerned, the amended ordinance is only a gesture, since they do not now go to Negro barber shops. Chapter 5 was the Chamber of Commerce's decision to support a test of the ordinance by injunction. Chapter 6, the latest chapter published, is an offer by three of the best law firms in the city to attack the constitutionality of the ordinance, free of cost, at the trial. New Haven, Connecticut, March 10, Frank R. Shipman It may or may not be significant that the writer of the letter named the Chamber of Commerce as the first among the protestants against the ordinance. Assuming that this body led the protest against the measure on the ground that it was a wrong or was bad business or on whatever was the real ground of protest, the fact that the chamber is made up of business men—leading business men—is an omen of hopefulness; for, with due respect to the wearers of the cloth who also protested, it may be said that in America, one captain of industry has more potency when he feels stirred to act than a hundred ministers praying for justice or protesting against injustice. As for the newspapers, they as a rule are at best more reflectors of what they regard as the dominant local opinion—with their eyes on the business men in particular. Haiti; G. W. Normal Charles, officers of the Academy of Paris, painter and sculptor; and M. Napoleon J. Francis; all from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, who are in the city.

Scott, 1447 S Street, Northwest, who testified before the congressional committee in charge of conducting hearings on the Gasque bill, and who has reported to "Have suffered at the hands of the committee" has written to the Tribune, and has called upon this office where, in an interview, he declared that he did not "suffer" from the questioning to which he was submitted.

Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, in a recent interview declared Senator Bruce, in his opinion, the time has come for dispensing with Jim Crow cars. Senator Bruce spoke particularly of Maryland, his home state. "It seems to me that there has been sufficient advancement of Colored people to do away with separate railway coaches. It is a matter of regret to me that we have them in our state. "Had I been appointed a member of the inter-racial committee that would have been one of my first recommendations," said the venerable Senator, who has gained a reputation in the Senate and his state for an attitude of justice and fairness to all. Continuing he said, "It would seem to me that the railroads themselves would be interested from an economic viewpoint. The system now is one of double expense. Colored people are American citizens, and have proved to be good citizens." Senator Bruce is not a candidate which, naturally, makes his statement carry all the more emphasis. INTRODUCE BILL TO OFFSET NEGRO DENOMINATION After a week of charges and counter charges by Congressmen from southern states over the disposition of Republican patronage and Negro dominance in the Republican party in the lynching area, Representative Warzbach, of Texas, has introduced a bill which would require appointees to swear that neither they or any of their friends had made any contributions "for or expectations or hope of" receiving the appointment.

ATTORNEYS TRYING TO ARRANGE AN AGREEMENT (Continued from page 1) The plaintiffs asked the court to remove Mr. Murray as a trustee because he had failed and refused to comply with the directions of the Grand Lodge in signing a deed of trust for a loan, submitting his books and vouchers for an audit and to turn over to the Grand Lodge a sum of money realized from this property which they claim is in his possession. They also asked for an accounting and a receivership. ATTENTION Let us rent your house and save money for REAL ESTATE We also rent, sell, collect rents, and make y See Me W. H. LEE Phone.

It was done in the case of Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Philippines, but in the case of the Virgin Islands it has not been done. "Owing to the limited resources of the Virgin Islands, your committee has endeavored in this bill to provide as economical form of government" as possible and at the same time grant the people of the Virgin Islands full rights of citizenship and local autonomy. "The bill as reported by the committee is drafted in accord with the policy which we found it expedient to follow when we acquired the island of Porto Rico. The bill of rights is practically word for word the same as the bill of rights contained in the organic law of Porto Rico. It is the traditionally well-settled bill of rights which has been passed upon by the courts. It is well understood by our own colonial administrators and by the people who will have to interpret the laws." The bill further follows the Porto Rico law by providing that all property which may have been acquired in the Virgin Islands by the United States shall pass over to the government now to be established. It provides, however, that the United States reserves the right within one year after this bill becomes effective to designate and retain such portions of the islands as may be necessary for its own national interest. It is provided in the bill that the judicial process shall run in the name of the United States in Porto Rico and the Philippines. Jurisdiction of the Virgin Islands would be placed under the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department, by the provisions of the bill. The Insular Affairs committee reported that "the Bureau of Insular Affairs is equipped to do this work, as it now has charge of Porto Rico and the Philippines. It is really our American colonial office for overseas possession." The bill as reported vests the supreme executive power in a "Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States," who could be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. He would hold his office at the pleasure of the President. His official residence would be in the Virgin Islands. The Governor would have the power to appoint a government attorney, a treasurer, a director of education, a direction of agriculture and public works, and a director of public health. The appointment of these executive officers by the governor, however would be subject to the approval of the Chief of Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department. The bill also provides for the appointment of an auditor by the President. The auditor is also designated as executive secretary. This provision is similar to that of the Porto Rico act. For legislative purposes the Virgin Islands would be separated into two municipalities, which is the organization that now exists. "In local affairs each council retains its own jurisdiction," the Insular Affairs committee stated in its report. "There are, however, certain joint activities which the islands should agree on together," the committee report declares, "and to cover these joint activities is meeting of the councils in joint session is provided. They must meet at least once each year." The salary of the governor is fixed at $7,000 a year. The salary of the auditor is fixed at $5,000 a year. The bill provides that appeals from the police courts of the Virgin Islands shall be made to the United States District Court of Porto Rico. At the present time appeals are made to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia. knows of no reason why the Pythian building should be further encumbered .

Carlisles Close Season With Win Over Athenians PAGE SIX Carlisles UPHILL STRUGGLE THROUGHOUT By I. L. Parker The Carlisles unwilling to close their season with a defeat after losing the D. C. championship basketball series, journeyed to Baltimore on Tuesday night and took revenge by defeating the Athenians, 20 to 17. The game was an uphill climb all the way for "Matt"-Conway's tossers although the Athenians were the first to draw blood. Neither team displayed brilliancy in the first half; much humbling, wild passing, and aimless shooting being featured. The half ended, 9 to 8 for the Athenians. In the second half, both teams found themselves. Several series of brilliant passes gave both many, the rushed, shots. The guarding of Wheatley, his recovery of the ball and his well-aimed passes, kept his team in position to maintain a lead until Ev Davis came through with two field goals after two series of sparkling passes.) The line-up and score: Carlisles Athenians Smith R.F. Poles Hill L.F. Taylor Henderson Center Keller Jones R.G. Wheatley Barbour LG. Butler Substitutions: W. Davis for Henderson; Ev. Davis for Smith; Braddick for Hill; Smith for Braddick; Brown for Keller. Field Goals: Ev. Davis 5; Smith, Braddick, Hill, W. Davis, Henderson, Jones, Keller 4, Taylor 3. Fouls: Poles, Brown, Keller. Referee: Gibson. Scorer: Parker. An interesting preliminary preceded the big game. The "Y" girls of Washington lost what should have been a victory. With about a minute to play and the score 20 to 18 in favor of the Orioles, the Baltimore girls bega to "freeze" the ball. Failing to change from a "five-man" defense to a man-to-man, the "Y" girls permitted the Orioles to keep the ball in their possession until the final whistle. Misses Gant and Stewart were high scorers for the "Y," making four and three field goals, respectively; while Misses Burnell and White respectively did likewise for the Orioles. RosaliaTheatre S. Y. William Fox presents OVER THE HILL The wonder picture of the century A soul stirring story of human hearts ONE SOLID YEAR ON BROADWAY The film sensation of the day, the William Fox special production "Over the Hill," a picturization of two of Will Carleton's celebrated poems in his "Farm Ballads," comes to this theatre two days. Comedy, character-drawing, romance, sentiment, drama, all have their part in the big theme, which is written about the divine love of a mother whose devotion and self-sacrifice know no limit. Will be shown Sunday and Monday, April 4 and 5. He dragged his brother through the streets to make him ask forgiveness at his mother's knee. This is one of the outstanding incidents of the William Fox special. The black sheep of many a family has been in reality its most lovable member. This is certainly true of the lack sheep in the William Fox special production "Over the Hill." He was a pillar of the church—new the whole Bible by heart, with the exception of the Commandment which reads, "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother!" THE SPORT REVIEW LOUIS R. LAUTIER, Sports Editor ALPHA AND OMEGA CANCEL GAMES Inability to agree upon officials resulted in the interfraternity basketball games between Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi being called off suddenly Wednesday, March 27. They were to have been played at the Lincoln Colonnade on March 30 and April 3. Committees representing the two fraternities had agreed upon Gibson of Baltimore and Chris Huiswood of New York, and those officials had been notified. The local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, however, would not approve of Huiswood. Omega insisted that the officials selected by the two fraternity committees had been chosen and the question closed. Alpha took the position that its committee had no authority to select officials but merely to nominate and report to the chapter for approval. William M. Sobbs, manager of the Delta Big Five of Omega, issued a statement in which he declared that Alpha acted irregularly "in not sending to Omega a duly authorized committee on March 19, because it knew the contract for the games between the two organizations, signed under date of March 4, 1926, stipulated that the officials for each game be chosen at least seven days before the respective games." None of the Alpha officials would make any statement regarding the controversy. TUSKEGEEFOOTBALL COACH APPROVES RULES CHANGES Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April 2—Cleve L. Abbot, the crafty Tiger mentor, in an interview here today with reference to the recent changes announced by the rules committee said: "The restriction of the forward pass by recent changes in the rules will not make a great deal of difference nor will the other changes affect the game materially. "The purpose of the rule was to stop a team from throwing a lot of wild poorly conceived passes in the closing minutes of a game. For instance, in 1924, in one of our games, Tuskegee had a lead of 7 points in the first quarter; in the other three quarters our opponents threw 52 passes, completing only three for short gains. "Doing away with the intentional safety was a good move. "I believe further restrictions should be placed on the forward pass unless football is to become a sort of modified form of basketball." NATIONAL BENEFIT GIRLS BEAT SHILOH TOSSERS Scoring the winning basket in the last minute of play, the National Benzet dribblers carried their colors triumphantly from the court last Saturday night when they defeated the Shiloh Tossers by a score of 4 to 3. At the close of the first quarter, the score was 2 to 1 in favor of the Nationals. Shiloh edged ahead at the beginning of the second quarter by a count of 3 to 2. Neither team scored in the third quarter. In the final period with but a few seconds to play, Miss Downing, who had scored the only basket for the Nationals, came through with a spectacular shot from center which won the game. Miss Allen, National's captain, contributed largely to her team's victory by her interception of passes and consistency in recovering the ball from toss up. Miss Munday, Shiloh's captain, was out of the game on account of injuries. Referee: Sam Lacy, (Community A. C.); Timekeepers: Stewart and Curtis. Scorers: Williams and Graves. VIRGINIA NORMAL WINS FIRST GAME Petersburg, Va., April 1—The Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute baseball team defeated the Nottaway Training School aggregation last Saturday by a score of 9 to 2.

The Alcoes, winners of this season's District championship, had it soft in the first half, save for the passing of the Kingston A. C., which was baffling. The champs led from the start, "Soup" Turner shot the first goal and was followed by Captain Graves. Goldstein made the count 4 to 2. At the end of the half, it stood 25 to 11 in favor of the Alcoes. The shooting of the Alcoes was not as accurate in the second half, while the A. C.'c had better luck than at the outset. At the close of the game, the score was 32 to 23. The Alcoes were loaded. "Scrappy" Brown, Baltimore Athenian forward, and "Rap" Wheatley" and "Soup" Turner were tied for high points.

State Street, Chicago, II SHELTON BROOKS AND A TABLOID COMPANY TO OPEN HOWARD The renovated and remodeled Howard Theater will be opened on April 5 with the Shelton Brooks show "Darktown Cort. Room." The show assembled a few weeks ago in New York and has been very favorably reported upon by the theatrical trade journals. A look at the roster of the company affords ample reason for a favorable review, for there are a number of nationally known "big time" artists. Shelton Brooks, author, composer and famed black face, heads the show with Ollie Powers, a big fellow, as his co-worker. This team has toured all of the first-class vaudeville houses and has been starred in several clubs. The comedy element is substantially increased by the presence of Joe Simms in the east. He, too, is a composer and the author of much material. Artie Belle McGinness, an unusually clever character artist; Catherine Yarboro, one of the original "Shuffle Along" girls; Sam Davis, a comedian with the distinction of being the "cleanest monologist"; Hilda Friend, Dooley Wilson and "Onions" Jeffries, another of the old "Shuffle" show who was seen here last fall in another piece, make up the imposing list of principals. There are ten choristers with the show selected from New York cabarets revues. In addition to Shelton Brooks, the screen presentation for the week will be Charles Ray in "Sweet Adeline," the sweetest story ever told. On every Friday there will be the usual midnight shows. The Howard will operate with a continuous policy of three shows daily from 2:30 to 11. No reserved seats. The scale of admission price will be the same from Monday to Sunday. Matinee, all seats 25 cents, evenings, orchestra 40 cents, balcony 25 cents. SILAS GREEN LEAVES FLORIDA SILAS GREEN LEAVES FLORIDA AARON GATES IN CHARGE OF STAGE The Silas Green show has concluded its winter tour of Florida, and the company is moving northward. They played the final engagement for the show at the State Capitol, Tallahassee, to a big business. At Lake Whales, the show played a special performance for the White Court of Calanthe, the first Negro attraction to be engaged by that order in the state. Aaron Gates has been placed in charge of the stage and he has made a number of alterations in the running of the performance that serve to speed up the attraction. Eva Bush, an Atlanta, Ga., girl has joined the show. Bob Young, a clarinet player who has been in Mr. Collier's line-up before has returned to the band. In a series of special stories, the principals of the company and their history will be presented to Tribune readers.

C. Handy, famous composer of "The Memphis Blues," with an introduction by Abbe Niles, has been definitely set for May 1st, Miguel Covarribas, that much overworked artist, is delaying his monthly duties for Vanity Fair in order to complete his illustrations for "The Blues." The book is described as "an anthology tracing the developing of the most spontaneous and appealing branch of Negro folk music into modern jazz." Over 40 complete pieces of music will be included, several of Handy's latest popular successes, as well as a few new and hitherto unpublished blues, and also selections by Gershwin, Kern, Berlin, etc. "RUNNIN' WILD" DOING RETURN DATES The "Runnin' Wild" show with Gallie DeGaston and Albert W. Jackson doing the comedy roles, has concluded a tour of extreme southern towns, and the show is being piloted over the mid-country section of the T. O. B. A. by Louis Azorsky, its manager, playing return engagements in the houses in which they "packed 'em" last autumn. This week the show is in Louisville. Next week the company goes into the Roosevelt Theater, Cincinnati; and St. Louis is booked for the succeeding week. Chicago is next. Young Jackson, who does not often write letters, takes his pen in hand to recommend the Washington hotel of Nashville as benign a fine place to stop. "It has been greatly improved," says the boy. WASHINGTON DRUMMER BIG FEATURE IN BERLIN WASHINGTON DRUMMER BIG FEATURE IN BERLIN Percy Johnson, a Washington boy travelling thru Europe as the drummer with a jazz band and Colored revue, now playing the Nelson Theater, Berlin, Germany, is the most spectacular member of the organization, according to publicity contained in the house program, the Sunday edition of the Taggblatt, and in the Theatrical Trade Journal of the German Republic. Exact interpretation of the language was not possible to your Editor, but sufficient was disclosed to indicate that Johnson has set the country agog with his manipulations of the trans in his comic-acrobatic manner so familiar to Washington and New York from where he sailed.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1926 What the Press Agents Say LON CHANEY IN "THE BLACK-BIRD" AT THE BROADWAY For Easter Sunday and Monday the Broadway Theatre will present Lon Chaney in his greatest photoplay "The Blackbird" supported by Owen Moore, Reree Adoree, Doris Lloyd; and Sidney Bracey. It is a mystery thriller of London's Limchouse district where you will see the Chaney of old as in the "Miracle Man." In the day he is a robber, at night by the simple twist of his limbs he becomes the Bishop of Limchouse. Because of the strange trap doors and the impossible escapes that Chaney makes in this wonderful photoplay we advise the ladies and children to try to attend our Easter matinee Monday at 2:30 o'clock, and thus avoid the night rush. On Tuesday a picture and a cast you can't beat, consisting Dorothy Mackaill, Creighton Hale, Ralph Lewis and Alce B. Francis in "The Bridge of Sighs." On Wednesday and Thursday a DeMille production, "Men and Women" with Richard Dix. The week will end on Friday and Saturday with Irene Rich and Huntly Gordon in "The Wife 'Who Wasn't Wanted." We are giving away free at our country store on Saturday night one twenty-pound Easter egg made of the best fruit and nuts on display at Capitol Confectionary window just across the street from Broadway Theatre.

Special Showing to Ministers The ministers of the city, together with a group of welfare workers and newspaper people were accorded an invitation pre-engagement showing of the film, and all were greatly impressed with the high moral value of the film. That a film can be so unreservedly approved by conservative religious authorities speaks much for this phase of a production that is a mechanical and artistic masterpiece.

R. Dudley, a colored woman, beauty, school operator has something of the detective instinct, hence when two white men approached her with visionary project to consolidate all of the hairdressers and facial artists into one organization under his supervision, she sought Detective Paul Jones and the District Attorney's office. In turn, these officials, after some investigation called the Post Office authorities into the matter and indictments resulted. It developed into Charles P. Gerrish, who conducts a so-called Beauty Culture-University at 631 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, being indicted by the grand jury for alleged violation of the postal laws. The indictment is in five counts, and those who are said to have been derailed by the accused include Mrs. W. R. Dudley, Mrs. Iva N. Myers, Mrs. Alice T. Lattimer, Mrs. Velma Marcel, Mrs. Grace B. Weinberg, I. J. Levenson and "other persons too numerous to mention." Gerrish, according to the indictment, professed to be the president of the University of the American Society of Derma-Trichology, claiming that this concern was operating under a charter granted by the Government, and that beauty culture schools enrolled with the "university" would not be subject to restrictions in certain States. The accused, in his literature which he mailed throughout the country, also claimed that there was a laboratory operated in connection with the "university," and that exhaustive research work was being carried on in its experimental department. The accused is alleged to have stated that every diploma issued by the "university" was a bona fide document with the Government behind it, and that the object of the "university" was to teach beauty culture. Gerrish claimed to be a graduate of the University of Berlin, Germany. the university. Other colored women who supplied information that helped stoy the man who is alleged to have swindled many thousands are Mme. Catlin, Quetta Watts, and Beatrice Woodland.
