HOUSEHOLD OVERCOME BY GAS: FUMES AFFECT NINE FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, No 45 PUB HOUSEHOLD OVER GAS: FUMES CRYING OF BABY AWAKES FATHER At 1616 8th Street, Northwest, a crying baby awakened Jimmie Pinkett at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning, and perhaps thus saved nine people from death by asphyxiation although the child itself is not yet out of danger of losing its life. Jimmie Kennedy and his wife, Mrs. Ethel Kennedy; his daughters Ethel Kennedy and Mrs. Minnie Pinkett; his son-in-law, A. Pinkett, and baby Edgar, aged four, were seriously affected by escaping gas this morning. When the father was awakened by the baby who was crying and gasping for breadth, he realized that he should acts as quickly as possible. He was scarely able to drag himself to the telephone, but finally reached it and called for Dr. W. H. Greene, who hastened to the rescue. Artificial respiration revived the baby until he could be taken to the hospital along with his mother and sister, Mrs. Pinkett, who are now undergoing further treatment. Due to the early treatment of Dr. Greene, the entire family is expected to survive. The gas was leaking from a pipe in the cellar. A policeman discovered it and cut it off at about 2 a.m. BUILDING TRADES SCHOOL OPENS The Building Trades School located at 712 O Street, Northwest, opened Saturday morning, April 3, at ten o'clock.

"Y" LEADER ADDRESSES YALE STUDENTS "Y" LEADER ADDRESSES YALE STUDENTS New Haven, Conn.-Yale Divinity School Students were recently addressed in their Regular Chapel Assembly by W. C. Craver, National Council Secretary, Y. M. C. A., for Colored Students. Mr. Craver declared: "Satisfactory Race Relationships will only be Realized when Individuals and Governments Practice the Principles of Jesus Christ." The audience was enthusiastic and many came from many states to question the speaker. Among them were Filipinos, Brazilians, Negroes, Southern and Northern whites. The meeting marked a new epoch in race relationship studies and forums in Yale University. The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY A. F. OF L. ASKED TO APPOINT RACE EXECUTIVE Hill of Urban League and Lemus of Dining Car Employees Brotherhood Make Plea for Square The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor at its regular meeting today was urged by T. Arnold Hill, director of Industrial Elections of the National Urban League, "to remove the color restrictions in organized labor." Rienzi B. Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, appeared with Mr. Hill and gave vigorous support to the proposition. Contending that Negro plumbers, machinists, boilermakers and other craftmen were "barred from employment because they were barred from unionism," Mr. Hill denounced as "un-American, undemocratic, un-economic, the policy of denying full rights to all wageearners because of race or color." The appointment of a colored executive as a representative of the A. F. of L. to negotiate with the national and local bodies that refuse membership to Negroes was urged and the council promised to give the matter serious consideration. The activities of white union barbers in Atlanta, Georgia, which resulted in the council's recent enactment (fortunately vetoed by the mayor) prohibiting colored barbers from serving white customers was severely criticized by both Mr. Lemus and Mr. Hill. This incident was cited to illustrate the cause of the Negroe's distrust of organized labor and the operation of restraint against Negro artisans in many lines of endeavor. The members of the Council gave more than an hour to the discussion and asserted their eagerness to bring about harrowing relationships between white and colored workers. Among those attending the meeting were: president William Green, Secretary Frank Morrison, Vice President Matthew Woll, Vice President James Duncan, and James Noonna International President of the Electrical Workers. HARVARDDEMANDS PHOTOGRAPHS HARVARDDEMANDS PHOTOGRAPHS Cambridge, Mass., April 8, 1926—In spite of the announcement that there is no desire on the part of Harvard College to bar any race or creed from the institution many are viewing askance the recent ruling that all applicants to the freshman class this fall must send photographs along with their application. This new action, which goes into effect in September, has recalled a series of incidents, that had its genesis with the refusal of admission of Roscoe Bruce, Jr., to Freshman Hall, some five years ago, that have tended to show that the spirit of Harvard has undergone a radical change since the days of William H. Lewis, William Clarence Matthews, Roscoe Conklin Bruce, Sr., W. T. B. Williams and hosts of other members of the Negro race who are among the most noted sons of Harvard. According to the announcement of the board of over-seers that the new ruling has been occasioned by the lack of facilities and that the freshman classes will be limited to 1000 members. Each will be individual considered by the committee on admission and great emphasis will be laid on character and personality. "WAR AND PEACE" PAGEANT SPONSORED BY COMMUNITY CENTER The Community Center Department of the public schools will present "War and Peace" a pageant by Albion Fellows Bacon, which will be staged by Mrs. Marie Forrest and Mr. Nathaniel Guy at Armstrong Technical High School auditorium on the evening of April 29. The proceeds will be used to develop the music extension classes for children which have been inaugurated at the centers this year. MOTHER-CHILD CENTRE TO PRE- SENT CONCERT ARTISTS The children of the Mother-Child Center enjoyed a special Easter treat on last Saturday. The gifts which were presented to them were the donations of their Bahai friends. The officers of the Center are now busy fostering their spring musicale in which they are presenting Miss Abbie Mitchell, famous soprano of New York City, accompanied by Cecil Cohen, pianist, on April 15. The musical of last spring was a brilliant success and the officers are looking forward to an equally successful event this year. WASHINGTON; D. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1926 WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME Alfonso Reed of 348 Main Avenue, Southeast, this city, may never have heard the song dedicated to "Bill Bailey," but he knows the sentiments that prompted the composition of that number—and he knows from experience. On May 19, 1925, his wife, Lillian Reed, left him. After pondering over the matter for some months, Alfonso has asked the Tribune to help him find Lillian. Will you tell her, he asks in a letter, "To come home. I will do right, and give her anything she wants if she will just come home to her husband." If any friend of Lillian's sees this we ask that they relay the word to Lillian. She may be glad to hear the news. BILL TO CONDEMN FT.RENO PROPERTY FOUGHT BY RACE BILL TO CONDEMN FT.RENO PROPERTY FOUGHT BY RACE Loss of Homes Threatened The colored citizens of Ft. Reno awoke just in time to forestall being driven from their homes by what appears to be the sinister influence of real estate developers. A bill had been presented to Congress, considered by a sub-committee and voted upon for a favorable report when the attention of property owners was called to the matter. A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the N. A. A. C. James Neill, secretary of the Equal Rights League, and Thomas A. Johnson hurried to the Capitol last Monday morning just in time to intercept Congressman Gibson, chairman of the subcommittee, as he was entering the District of Columbia Committee room to favorably report the bill, and induced him to withhold his report until the citizens of Ft. Reno could have an opportunity to be heard on the matter. Tuesday night a meeting of the Citizens' Association was held and resolutions adopted petitioning Congress to reject the bill on the ground that it is prejudicial to the interests of property owners of Ft. Reno. The bill which has created the furor proposes to condemn for public park purposes property lying within a prescribed area, and, strange though it may seem, that area includes every piece of land owned by colored citizens in that vicinity. It developed at the citizens' meeting that for some time past efforts have been made to induce the colored property owners to sell, but the prices offered have been ridiculously low and were refused. Failing in the effort to purchase these properties by private interests it appears that Congress has been appealed to through the good offices of the Commissioners to procure the property for park purposes. Indications are that through this means the property owners would receive about ten cents a square foot for their land. Real estate developers in that vicinity some of whom have offered to buy the colored property at ten cents, are asking from seventy-five to two dollars a square foot for their holdings. When the sub-committee hearings are held it is quite likely that a large delegation of property owners, both white and colored, will register their objections to the legislation. The Citizens' Association meeting of last Tuesday night was addressed by Lewis Neill, Thomas A. Johnson, A. S. Pinkett, and several members of the association. Ft. Reno is situated just within the District limits near Tenleytown on the road to Rockville, Md. DR. MC KINNEY SERIOUSLY ILL; WIFE IN BERMUDA DR. MC KINNEY SERIOUSLY ILL; WIFE IN BERMUDA Dr. Arthur B. McKinney, 34, a physician, of 1519 First Street, Northwest, is seriously ill at his home. According to reports, he was stricken with paralysis, Wednesday night. He first became ill last Sunday. Dr. F. D. Whitby, who is attending him, denies that Dr. McKinney has had a stroke of paralysis, but made no statement regarding the nature of his illness. He would say nothing concerning his patient other than that his condition is improving. Dr. Hamilton S. Martin, of 1740 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, was called in for consultation. Dr. McKinney's wife, Mrs. Ethel McKinney, who is a clerk in the office of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first superintendent of public schools, is in Bermuda where she is spending the Easter school vacation. She sailed from New York City last Saturday morning with Mrs. Helen Harris, of 1726 U Street, Northwest, and Miss Miriam Courtney, of Boston, Mass., both of whom are teachers in the public schools of the District of Columbia. Mrs. McKinney has been called to return home immediately. Sailed to Bermuda Last Week Mrs. MORTIMER M. HARRIS (top), and Mrs. ETHEL McKINNEY, who are spending the Easter week in Bermuda. —Photo by Scurlock GARVEY CONVENTION MODIFIES AFRICAN PLAN GARVEY CONVENTION MODIFIES AFRICAN PLAN The Universal Negro Improvement Association, in convention in Detroit, passed a series of resolutions that indicate a modification of the plan of the guiding spirit of the organization, Marcus Garvey, now serving a term in the Atlanta federal prison. The following is an extract from the report of the committee on resolutions that was approved by the body: "Memorizing the Congress of the United States to make provision for the colonization of persons of African descent, with their own consent, at any place or places without the United States where the party form a nation and a government of their own. "1. Whereas, race problems produced by the contact of races cannot be solved, except by amalgamating the races or separating (segregating) them; and 2. Whereas, it is highly desirable that the American Negro problem should be solved in a manner that will preserve the white race and the black that each may make its contribution to the welfare of mankind; and 3. Whereas, many of our Negroes evidence a desire to live in an independent nation of Negroes and strive to achieve a high and honorable race destiny; and "4. Whereas, such desire on the part of our Negroes was encouraged by eminent white Americans who founded the colony of Liberia, and, later, by other eminent white Americans who sought to acquire San Domingo for a colony for the Negroes; and "5. Whereas, there is much valuable land sparsely populated in the Negro republics of Haiti, San Domingo and Liberia; and "6. Whereas, the ancestors of our Negroes were deprived of liberty and property and forced into servitude to the white race; and "7. Whereas, in servitude and in freedom the Negroes in America have SERVED the white race in America in a manner morally to obligate the white man to recompense the Negroes by generously assisting them to establish themselves with bright prospects for the future in an independent nation ruled by men of their own race; "8. Wherefore, be is resolved by the legislature and the senate concurring, that the legislature memorializes the Congress of the United States to make provision for the colonization of persons of African descent, with their own consent, at any place or places without the United States." The foregoing indicates most thoroughly, a full acceptance of the ideas of the K. K. K. and sounds like an appeal for funds based upon that acceptance. CHINAMAN TESTS "SOCIAL EQUALITY" CHINAMAN TESTS "SOCIAL EQUALITY" Camden, N. J. April 8—Social equality in the dark came to the attention of a Chinaman, when he attacked a 12-year-old colored girl in his laundry at 625 Ferry Avenue. He was held without bail by Judge Cleary. The attack took place last August. The arrest of the Chinaman was caused by Mrs. Alma Buttin, 1667 South Seventh Street, mother of Marie, the girl attacked. Asked why she waited so long before making a complaint, Mrs. Buttin said she "was waiting for a witness." The mother testified that she worked in the laundry and one day took her daughter to work with her. While she was working in the yard, she testified that Charles Song, owner of the laundry, attacked her daughter. MASONIC TEMPLE SALE TO BE HELD MONDAY; ODD FELLOWS MAY BID Detroit, Mick, April 8.—The second inning of the famosu Sweet trial, scheduled to begin Monday, April 5, has been postponed until Monday, April 12. Both sides gave as their reason for postponement, "other business." STAGE PARADE TO FORCE TRIAL OF POLICEMAN STAGE PARADE TO FORCE TRIAL OF POLICEMAN Brooklyn, N. Y. — Negroes 500 strong, carrying placards and looking intently serious, gathered in mass formation about Borough Hall protesting against lack of action against Patrolman Thomas McAuliffe, charged with having knocked down a Negro woman who resented proposals he is alleged to have made to her. One of the placards drew attention to the sharp difference in the speed of justice in cases where the colors of the offender and the victim have been reversed. Others demanded "Equal Justice" and "Equal Rights." But for the most part it was a demonstration by numbers; peaceful, if massed, picketing. A big placard was carried on which was printed: "Why is Justice Delayed?" Still another reviewed briefly the history of the alleged attack and drew a parallel in the following words: "Policeman McAuliffe attacks woman. Two colored men in Kentucky and Deleware tried and sentenced to be hanged in thirteen minutes for similar crimes." The meeting followed a mass meeting held March 27, at Trinity Baptist Church, attended by 2,000 and addressed by Emanual Cella, who demanded action in the case. Patrolman McAuliffe, after charges were made that he had attacked Mrs. Estella Benson, 26 years old, of 1723 Dean Street, was suspended and held on bail on a charge of felonious assault. He also was charged with having attacked Miss Cecelia Thoule of 83A Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, a white woman. In both cases it was charged that he had assailed the women with his club when they refused to enter his automobile. The case was delayed when it came up for hearing in the Gates Avenue Court on March 8, owing to the inability of Mrs. Benson, still suffering from her injuries, to appear in court. ELK LODGE THREATENED WITH SUSPENSION ELK LODGE THREATENED WITH SUSPENSION Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, is threatened with suspension. F. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, last Wednesday ordered the lodge to show cause withina days why it should not be suspended from the order for contempt. The specific charge is that Columbia Lodge at a regular meeting ignored a decision of District Grand Deputy E. W. Bundy reversing the decision of the lodge in the case of Herbert C. Akers and allowing an appeal by Joseph I. Bailey. Akers was acquitted by the lodge of a charge of having made derogatory statements in a lodge meeting concerning the Grand Exalted Ruler without having put them in writing as provided in the laws of the order Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was present when the alleged statements were made. Bailey appealed from the decision of the lodge, and District Grand Deputy E. W. Bundy reversed the decision of the lodge and allowed the appeal. The lodge ignored his communication setting aside its decision, claiming that he lacked jurisdiction. Columbia Lodge is one of the largest and wealthiest lodges in the order. The Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Legal Advisor, Perry W. Howard, are members of it, and a question has been raised as to their status in the event Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson carries out his threat to suspend it. It is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia and may resort to the courts, as it did two years ago, to prevent its suspicion. The lodge recently rescinded its action in indorsing Grand Exalted Ruler for a fifth term and indicated an intention of seeking to bring the next Grand Lodge to Washington. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. S SENATORS COURT NEGRO VOTE IN PRIMARIES As the dates for the various primaries draw close, Republican Senators, whose terms will expire on March 3, 1927, are worried over the Negro vote in their respective states. They are being assailed because of the failure of the Negro as a group to receive favorable consideration in either matters of legislation or appointments to Federal offices. The first Senator, who has had to combat such an attack, is William B. McKinley, who is being opposed in the Illinois primary by Frank L. Snieth. Since he has been in the Senate, Senator McKinley has voted favorably on every question of special interest to the Negro, but he is being held responsible for the failure of Congress to enact any legislation especially benefiting colored persns. Senator McKinley has met this attack by citing his record, which includes support of the Dyer anti-lynching bill when that measure was killed in the Senate by a Democratic fillbuster; leadership in the fight for the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen to be comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., and introduction of an antlynching bill in this session of Congress. McKinley's Denial Denal of the charge that Senator McKinley had not been as active in support of the anti-lynching bill as he could have been was made last week by Representative L, C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, who introduced the same anti-lynching bill in the House, Mr. Dyer said: "Senator McKinley introduced the anti-lynching bill in the Senate at the beginning of this season of the Congress and shortly thereafter urged a public hearing which was held February 16. He appeared before the committee and urged favorable consideration and report. The matter now is in the hands of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. Senator McKinley is not a member of that committee. He has done all apparently he can do until that committee acts and reports it to the Senate for passage." Illinois Primary The next primary will be in Illinois on April 13. Senator William B. McKinley is being opposed for the Re- (Continued on page 4.) NO 17 MINUTE TRIAL HERE Southern Courts to Face Supreme Test Lexington, Ky., April 8—(By The Associated Negro Press) Last Monday when the case of Charles Merchant, a young white man charged with the brutal rape of Eva Lee James, if colored girl less than twelve years of age, was called in the circuit court, here, the entire state and indeed the whole South eyed the proceedings, for wrapped up in this prosecution is the reputation of southern courts for even-handed justice. Kentucky which carries on its statute books a law, making rape punishable with death has recently sent a colored man to death under the law for the same identical crime, save in this instance a child of tender years is involved, after making a great show of preserving justice by means of calling out the militia to prevent a mob from taking the prisoner's life. It has not been the habit, however, of southern authorities to pay attention to the crime of rape when practiced upon colored women. However, the revolting details of the attack unon the little girl and the recent "leg lynching" of the Negro involved in a similar offense have focused the spotlight on the case. Merchant is the son or a prominent contractor. It was apparent from the questioning of prospective jurors that insanity would be one of the grounds set up by the defense. Each talesman was questioned by Merchant's counsel as to his opinion regarding insanity as a defense and those who said they were prejudiced against that form of testimony were disqualified. Each man was asked by the state if he had conscientious scruples against inflicting the death penalty and those who said they had such scruples were excused. The complainant's older sister, who was with her at the time the assault took place, claims she was detained when the attack was made upon her younger sister. The crime took place on the evening of February 28, the girls claiming Merchant attacked the younger, tore clothing off both of them, and forced them to walk some distance almost pude. 8 PAGES ONE SECTION BE HELD LOWS MAY BID GRAND MASTER IS INTERVIEWED Grand Lodge trying to finance repurchase On Monday afternoon, April 12, Adam A. Weschler, the auctioneer will, at 2:30 p.m., submit the unfinished Masonic Temple at Tenth and U Streets, N.W., at public auction, pursuant to the order of the court of the District of Columbia. This auction brings to a crisis the long period of litigation that has marked the effort of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge; F. A. A. Masons to own a temple adapted to the requirements of the order. The sale will include the real property with such unused material and partly finished construction as may be on the premises. The terms of the sale require that one-third of the purchase price be paid in cash and the remaining two thirds be paid in installments of one and two years. A deposit of $2500 will be required when he bid is acceptd. Attorneys Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston are the trustees charged with handling the matter under the court order. Raising Redemption fund Charles P. Ford, Grand Master of the jurisdiction, with his grand staff, is making an effort to raise sufficient funds to redeem the property for the order by bidding it in at the sale; and this will no doubt operate to make the occasion much more spectacular than is usual for such sales. Tomorrow, April 10, marks the concluding day of a drive to obtain funds and pledges from the membership of the fraternity and its allied women's organizations. In speeches and letters addressed to the Masons of the jurisdiction, Mr. Ford has outlined a plan calling for a ten dollar deposit at the Prudential Bank by each member not later than tomorrow, Saturday, noon. This deposit to be available for the purpose of bidding on the property at Monday's sale. These deposits are credited to "The Masonic Redemption Fund," and should the purchase be effective, stock certificates or other legal credit instruments will be issued for the same sums. Should this bid prevail grand trustees the circular issued by the Grand Master promises that it "will accept by assignment stock in the New Prince Hall Corporation and issue in exchange for such stock or credits, a certificate of indebtedness covering the par value of the assigned stock." While the officials of the bank declined to make any statements concerning this fund since such would be a Violation of a confidential relation, it was very evident that the interest manifested and the number of responses to the Grand Master's appeal had surprised the officials and employees of the institution who were detailed to the handling of the matter. Jesse Mitchell, Past Grand Master and the president of the Prince Hall Building Association, the corporation organized to construct the building declined to be interviewed at this time; but stated he would have a prepared statement for publication later. Odd Fellows May Bid A meeting was held on Wednesday night at the Odd Fellows Hall, an another was set for Saturday night, when members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be asked to indorse a project for that organization to purchase the uncompleted masonic structure, disposing of their present holdings of the National Geographic Society to obtain funds with which to finance the proposition. Grand Master makes Statement A representative of the Tribune interviewed Grand Master Ford who declared that the circular issued was a private communication to members of the craft and not for publication to the public. He stated: "I am not given to discussing Masonic matters he press or with the public; how it is hoped that the Grand Lodge Trustees may qualify as bidders and save our investment from further dissination and loss." "We are encouraged by the outlook. While we feel the sale will be at public auction and open to all bidders, we feel that loyal members of the order will rally to the support of the trustees of the Grand Lodge. I do not believe," he stated in response to an inquiry, "that members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, many of whom are good Masons, are going to countenance any plan which will involve their Odd Fellows holdings, evolved or presented by certain Odd Fellows calling themselves good Masons, whereby the Odd Fellows' property now unincumbered would be involved in any attempt to buy the Masonic property."

The letter is couched in vigorous terms and contains a very complete history of the life activities of Mr. Stevens. Mr. Thomas regards the mere suggestion of adding memorials of the Confederate officials (representatives of the only government that has ever been based upon slavery) as being contrary to the principals of democracy so loudly sung in this country.

I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4.

A LETTER OF REGRETS AND TIMELY SUGGESTIONS (Honor Letter) Dear Editor: How are you? I know you have almost forgotten me as I have not written to the "Childrens Page" for quite awhile, but I have not forgotten you at all. It worried me to see our page reduced in size, and I have resolved if you will give us the whole page I will send in riddles and jokes and stories. I wish you could give more prizes and again run a series of Negro history questions. I remember, when I was a small girl, how I wished I could answer the Negro history questions and win prizes. But when I was older and could answer them, you stopped printing them. I think that, would create a kind of interest in "our" page. Please answer my letter. A peculiar man was Icabod Crane, and As o'er his school house he did reign: reign; Sometimes with his hand or with his switch, He'd tickle the scholars and make them itch. Now let me describe this man to you, His hair was light and his eyes were blue; His neck was long and his head was flat, And his ears were like those of a tabby cat. His arms and legs were like a stilt, Or like a sword without a hilt. And how in Contrinkas eyes he won favor, I could not tell the reason to save her. But she was deceitful to Icabod Crane— His love in her heart could not remain. So let us leave Icabod, heavy hearted and sad, And old Brom Bones, just roaring mad. If we would think just now and then Before we start to fuss, More often would the time be when Success would come to us. The one who fusses all the time Shows lack of sound reserve. He doesn't know that it's a crime Which soon gets on our nerve. He creates foes and loses friends And pulls his standing down. His very presence often tends To worry those around. Let each of us bear this in mind To guard your self-control And in the end you'll surely mind You're nearer to the goal. LAWRENCE HOWARD be Pretty! You too may be Pretty!

LITTLE SICK BOY AND HIS PET (Honor Letter) Dear Editor: I am writing to let you know that I enjoy reading "The Kiddies' Corner," I have been sick for two weeks. I decided to make myself interested in the Tribune. I have not written to the Children's Page since 1924—that was the year I joined. My cat's name is Beauty. We received him in October. When some people come to our house they ask us how old our cat is. When we tell them we had the cat six months, they don't believe us because he is so large. When I was sick my cat came up to see me morning. It seems as if the cat knew what was wrong. When the doctor said I could get up I was very glad. The cat went out once and when he wanted to come in he made a noise at my window. JOSEPH WINKFIELD. ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD By Katie Harper (11) (Honor Letter) One hot summer day as the sun shone its brightest on a tree in a village, two greedy, selfish people stood admiring it. A merchant passed by. Stopping he asked: "What is this you stare at?" The greedy, selfish people answered, "It's nothing of yours! Be off!!" So the merchant passed on. Soon a number of people had gathered to look at the tree. All stood in amazement. When it began to get dark, the golden reflection of the sun began to vanish from the tree. A bluebird who, also had been in the tree laughed and it seemed as if it was saying, "All that glitters is not gold.' FROM AN OLD TIMER Dear Editor: I have not written to you for a long time. I have been away. I read the Children's Page every Saturday. I am sending in a double letter sentence containing ten words. I close my letter by saying love to all the Tribunites. AUDREY H.

Thus, and thus only, would I have the sea"? So all in vain will timorous ones essay. To set the metes and bounds of Liberty. For Freedom is its own eternal law, It makes its own conditions, and in storm Or calm alike fulfills the unerring Will. Forever in thine eyes, O Liberty, Shines that high light whereby the world is saved. And though thou slay us, we shall trust in thee! WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Notwithstanding the insistence of the officials of Harvard University that there is to be no discrimination as to race or creed in the application of the new regulations concerning admissions to the college, these regulations are disturbing when we consider all of the circumstances, including the history of recent attempted discriminations there. We recall the effort made two years ago by the resident college authorities to keep the son of Roscoe Conkling Bruce out of the freshman dormitories. The new regulations permit the Committee on Admissions to require candidates for admission to submit photographs; and the committee may also require personal interviews and may take into consideration "personality" and "character" and other like vague, indeterminate, and elastic qualifications—if we may regard these as qualifications. The college (student) paper, The Crimson, speaks quite frankly about it. In a recent issue the paper says: "The discretionary provision in the ruling is susceptible of discrimination against undesirable candidates. That is its intention. If non-assimilable elements tend to choke the freedom of the rest, their numbers should be reduced." Of course, there are others besides Negroes who are "undesirable," and more or less "non-assimilable," for examples, Jews and "commuting" students, the latter comprising those who do not board in the college dormitories or fraternity houses, but who get cheaper living in the poorer quarters of South Boston. It is claimed that something must be done to reduce the size of the entering classes, hence this pretense at selecting the most "promising." To be sure, Massachusetts is not Mississippi nor even Virginia—at least, not yet; but we know that it is precisely the same sinister scheme—discretionary power, lodged in registrars and election officials—that has made the fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments nullities in the South. In this matter of college entrance qualifications, it looks very much like "discretion" is being invoked to cover race prejudice or snobbery or both. TO CURB THE "DRIVERS" Representative Hamilton Fish has introduced a bill in Congress that provides that solicitation of funds shall be under the supervision of the board of Public Welfare. A local paper says of the measure: His bill would provide not only that a permit would have to be obtained from the welfare board for solicitations, but that the organization or individual receiving the permit would have to make annual reports of expenditures and collections to the board, and the board would have access to the solicitors' books at all times.

Specious begging is an almost daily occurrence among our people. We have less money to spare than have any other group, and yet seem to have more professional mendicants driving after us than do other folks. It would be a welcome relief to have some sort of machinery set up for separating the worthy from the unworthy "causes" for which the public is asked to donate—and curbing all of them a little. THE WHY AND THE WHEREFORE —IN PART The city of Brooklyn, N. Y., through its chamber of commerce has just concluded a survey of certain U. S. Census figures, and among the facts disclosed we find that— "Of the 215,139 females employed in that city, 54,096 are whites of native parentage, 94,203 are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 59,379 are foreign born and 7,438 are Negroes. Among the native whites, about 31.3 per cent work outside the home. Among the foreign born only 18.9 per cent are employed, while 52 per cent of Negro females work for a living." If this be true of one of the most progressive cities of the country, it is fair to presume that a somewhat similar situation exists all over the country. The percentages indicate very pointedly the economic status of the Negro. The average Negro home is to a great extent sustained by the women. Is there any wonder that we have less time to acquire culture, and a worse criminal record, and poorer health conditions than prevails with other people; and most serious of all, that our children are denied the home help to a more complete education? Truly "Aunt Hagar's children," as some folks are prone to call us, have a hard time. THAT FIRESTONE "INVESTMENT" IN LIBERIA Under the above heading, the gifted and versatile William Pickens, whose writings appear in several of our race papers, says some pertinent things concerning Liberia—says them so well that we take the liberty to adopt them as our own sentiments. Below we reproduce his article from the Norfolk Journal and Guide—adding the last sentence, in parentheses, for the possible benefit of our many younger readers. Mr. Pickens says: Liberia failed to get a five million dollar loan from the United States government, and we thought that the failure was good luck for Liberia; for a loan by a big government to a little one is like a loan from a corporation to a small politician—that is, the loan is a purchase. But after good luck saved Liberia from being strangled by $5,000,000 from Congress, the little republic decided to be choked to death by $100,000,000 from the Frestone Rubber Company, an American corporation with less heart and soul than American politicians. It seems that little fellows like Liberia, when they get hungry, cannot resist temptation. Hayti's experiences were no lesson to Liberia. If the Firestone Company invests $100,000,000 in Liberia, this company will be the de facto government there; the Liberian government will not even be de jure but only nomine. The American gun must always follow the American dollar. That is really what Americans guns are made for. Now we hear that good luck, or horse sense, is about to save Liberia again from this greater menace, and that the proposition to let the Firestone Company invest $100,000,000 in Liberian liberties is being held up by some rebels in the Liberian legislature. We shall see. One hundred million dollars in a hard thing to refuse—even when we are not going to get any of it, but are to have the sole privilege of seeing it being spent. We hate evil predictions, but predictions never change anything. If they miss, they miss. They may foretell but cannot foreordain. We predict; if Liberia lets Firestone in now, within a generation the two hottest-and-scorchingest and hardest-and-roughest words in all Liberian vocabulary will be FIRE and STONE. Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes. (Fear the Greeks even when bringing gifts.) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. APRIL 9. 1926 A Woman's Point of View By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS HOWARD'S NEXT PRESIDENT The trustees of Howard University are searching the woods for a new president. They are looking over the tall timber in both races. What kind of a man does the university need, and why? Howard needs a human alembic, a man who can give to its atmosphere an oxidation that will be death to age-old misunderstandings, antagonism, modern snobbery, and indifference. Howard needs a man of superior scholarship built on the wisdom that cometh from above, so that he can give her a new understanding of her high ideals, purposes, and outstanding objectives. The air on the hill needs washing and the atmosphere needs recharging. The university needs a man who can restate the ideals, purposes and objectives of the founders, in terms of modern day demands and relationships. The great spiritual and moral objectives of the institution have been lost, or submerged. In these latter days, her presidents have spent a great deal of their time hob-nobbing with Congress, or trying to keep peace on the hill. The time should have been spent in building up university standards, and in creating university atmosphere. The presidential tenures in office have been short, and the reasons are many. Only one need be mentioned now. The salary is so small that it attracts only mediocre white men. Word has gone forth that Howard must have a president who can get coin out of Congress. The university really needs a man who can get character out of its students. If Howard can get a man who can develop character and create a university atmosphere, the Negro renaissance will be on. The man must be a spiritual Hercules. A church politician, a wire puller, a superannuated clergyman who is on his way to the ministerial dump, on a Sir Oracle, will be by a mill-stone about Howard's neck. A man of university size and sense can get the money because the graduates will be of the character and calibre that will make a more effective appeal than the president himself can possibly make. Howard needs a man, young enough and with grace enough to spiritualize the atmosphere and send new blood to her very finger tips. No ordinary man, white or colored, can do it. White men of the right size have too many opportunities for large service to accept a place where age old feuds, Negro pettiness, and misunderstanding are likely to make his tenure in office of but a few days and full of trouble. Howard needs a man who can teach men how to do their particular jobs on the faculty and at the same time work together for the common objectives of the university. SENATORS COURT NEGRO VOTE IN PRIMARIES Continued from page (1) publican nomination by Frank L. Smith. The principal issue in this contest is the World Court. Senator McKinley voted for American adherence to the World Court. Mr. Smith is opposed to the entrance of the United States into the World Court. The Indiana primaries will follow those in Illinois. The date is May 4. Both Senators James E. Watson and A. R. Robinson, Republicans, come before their electorate for the Republican nomination. The term of Senator Watson is expiring on March 3, next. Senator Robinson was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Samuel L. Ralston. Two Senators from Indiana will be chosen in the general election. Consider the Negro Senators have become active in the interest of their colored constituents. Senators McKinley, Watson and Pepper have sought the appointment of a colored man from their respective states as Register of the Treasury. Secretary of Treasury Andrew W. Mellon is said to have refused to agree to any such appointment. Senators McKinley and Watson have also urged the appointment of one of the constituents to the office of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, which is now being filled by Arthur G. Froe, of West Virginia. Senator McKinley, who is an administration Senator, believes that he will name the next appointee to this office. Senator Watson is supporting Ernest G. Tidrington of Evansville, Ind. G. TURKISHIAN Representative John Philip Hill, who is opposing Senator Weller for the Republican nomination in Maryland, got into the fight for the Recordship when he recently visited the White House and presented the name of Warner T. McGuinn, of Baltimore. It is said that Senator Pepper, who is being opposed by Governor Gifford Pinchot and Representative William S. Vure for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania, will secure the appointment of two colored men as assistant United States attorneys in his state, one at Philadelphia and the other at Pittsburgh. Other Republicans who must face their party in primaries are Senators Robert N. Stainfield, of Oregon; Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa; Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota; Charles Curtis, of Kansas; George H. Williams, of Missouri; John W. Harreld, of Oklahoma; Richard P. Ernst, of Kentucky; Frank B. Willis, of Ohio; Samuel M. Shortridge, of California; Tasker L. Oddie, of Nevada; George H. Moses, of New Hampshire; Irvine L. Leroot, of Wisconsin; Ralph H. Cameron, of Arizona; William M. Butler, of Massachusetts; O. E. Weller, of Maryland; Porter H. Dale, of Vermont; Wesley L. Jones, of Washington; James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of New York; Frank R. Gooding, of Id And Others A university should not present the incongruous spectacle of "you in your little corner, and I in mine," in any of its departments. The institution needs a man who can awaken sincere interest in the larger whole. Kipling tells of the ship that found itself. You will recall how the different parts asserted themselves with clamorous voices, each claiming its right to pull its own way and complaining of the other parts. Howard needs a man who can help her find herself, a man who can speak to her various part as did the voice to the ship, and bring harmony out of confusion. A university should teach its students the fine art of getting along with folks. The world knows how poorly this subject has been taught on the hill—at least by example. The call for a colored man at the head of the university has been long, but not loud. The race has had to make men to fill so many positions that it has not had time to make less than a half dozen good examples of university presidents. Howard might not be attractive to our limited number of samples. If a white man of scholarship, sense, and personal magnetism can be secured, who appreciates the intrinsic value of interracial understanding and good will, he could, by example as well as by precept, do more than any other white man in America to teach white and colored people how to work together, and at the same time teach the rising young colored men and women how to find a basis of friendly upstanding, understanding with white people. We need somewhere in these United States a place where this important subject can be taught with power. Howard offers a chance for a man who is big enough to teach the two races how to work together. We are opposed to accepting small Negroes for big jobs, simply because they are Negroes, and we are opposed to accepting mediocre white men simply because we think they can pull chestnuts out of the fire for us. Money getting at Howard must be made secondary right through here. Mind and morale building are the fundamental needs at present. Get a president, white or colored, with all thy getting, get a man who can wash the air, recharge the atmosphere, and establish the going of the institution. "The powers that be"—that is, the powers that have kept Howard presidents on the run or in hot water—must invoke the aid of God and the help of His great almoner, Time, for the man who comes, so that he can with their assistance stay long enough to renew the life of the entire university. aho; and Reed Smoot, of Utah. Thirty-four Senators must face electorate of their respective states in both primary and general elections this year. Of this number 27 are Republicans and 7 are Democrats. DAVIS MEMORIAL MISSION HELD SPECIAL SEVICES The Davis Memorial Spiritual Mission held special services on Easter at three p.m. Prominent among those who participated were Mrs. Joseph Booth, a singer from Annapolis, and L. Melendez King of this city. Talent from the Sunday school made up part of the program. The sermon subject for the day was "Christ and the Insoluble Body" and in the evening the Rev. Mrs. Helen B. Davis preached on "Man Invisible and Visible." On April 5, the church began a runmage sale that continues through the week. HAITIAN MEDAL ACCEPTANCE AUTHORIZED The Senate last Friday passed a bill authorizing Commander Archibald L. Parsons and Lieut. Commander Ben Morell, of the Civil Engineer Corps of the United States Navy, to accept from the Republic of Haiti the medal of honor and merit which has been tendered to each of them thru the State Department, in appreciation of the services rendered the Haitian Republic. press $1.00 Bob and shampoo $1.40 We are experts in giving the following: Electric Cream and Boncilla Massages Clay Packs, Facial Bleach, Curling, Marcelling, Dyeing and Tinting, of the hair.

[Image of a man in a military uniform with a badge on his chest.] Supreme First Commander, Chester A. Gray, candidate for the office of Supreme Grand General of the Ord KNIGHTS OF JERUSALEM JUVENILE PRODUCT, IS CANDIDATE FOR SUPREME OFFICE KNIGHTS OF JERUSALEM JUVENILE PRODUCT, IS CANDIDATE FOR SUPREME OFFICE It is seldom that one who started in the juvenile branch of a fraternal organization reaches the opportunity of aspiring to the highest office the order affords by virtue of the merit of having first qualified by acceptably filling the next most important post and many other subordinate ones, a record that fully qualifies one with a most intimate knowledge of the organization. But such is the history of Chester A. Gray, Supreme First Commander of the Knights of Jerusalem, who aspires to become Supreme Grand General of the Knights of Jerusalem. Mr. Gray was born in Virginia and came with his parents to Washington at the age of 13 when he was promptly put into St. Josephs Cadet Corps, No. 2. He at once evidenced an interest in the work and has since then filled almost every office in the order. In addition to making the order of Knights of Jerusalem his life-work, he has been an active member in the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, being ranking captain on the staff of the Commanding Colonel of Patriachy, No. 18. Mr. Gray, though a product of the public schools of Virginia, makes no claim to great scholarship, rather his executive ability is based upon character and the ability to select and surround himself with associates in office, both men and women, have the interests of his order at heart and who are able to transpose that interest into effective and constructive work. The three thousand odd members of the order know him as a citizen of unattnished character, a Christian gentleman, and one who works unfinchingly for its progress. Many among them will be proud to see him wield the sceptre of the Grand office. He is especially well known in Pittsburgh, and the delegates from there have already written indorsements to him. It would be a splendid dibute to the juvenile department FROM ABOUT OUR COUNTRY Chicago, Ill—The Fort Fearborn Lodge of Elks, Chicago, has set out to present the fraternity, and the Race, perhaps the country, with the largest band, Prof. Frank L. Drye, former handmaster of Tuskegee, has the organization in charge. An band of far more than a hundred instruments, a dance and concert orchestra and a glee club are contemplated within the unit. Nashville, Tenn—There are 105 Negroes on the pension rolls of the state. All of them were body servants to officers of the Confederate army during the Civil war. --- Detroit, Mich.—The board of education has been restrained from contributing funds to a school outing at Bob-Lo Island for pupils of the public schools of Detroit by an injunction that issued from the court of Judge Jayne last year that has just been made permanent. According to Judge Jayne, "it will remain valid so long as the board continues to discriminate because of creed or color."

He was this year's winner of the male voice prize of the Society of American Musicians. Letters to Editor March 25, 1926. Editor, The Washington Tribune: I have just been shown a copy of the "Washington Post," containing a statement of Rev. Dr. Sterling N. Brown in his release to that paper, and I heartily agree with him in the position he takes relative to filling the vacancy made in the presidency of Howard University by the resignation of Dr. J. Stanley Durke. Dr. Brown is right in saying that the first great need of Howard University is for all interested parties to get together on a basis of good will and co-operation. I believe that a meeting of this kind would bring to light, and correct some mistaken notions, and make it possible for the University to regain and hold the full Alumni sympathy and support. The selection of a new president should not precede, but follow such conference, as above suggested. The appointing power is in the hands of the Board of Trustees, and I am sure that no one, outside of the Board of Trustees, will think of usurping its power respecting the important duty of selecting a president, or of infringing in any way upon that power. To me it seems clear that this is the feeling of the great body of the Alumni scattered throughout the country. The Alumni can in common have but one desire respecting the coming of a new president of our greatest institution of learning for colored youth, that is to get the best man possible, one fitted by training, experience in the teaching field, even tempered and endowed with a great wealth of human sympathy. Yours for a greater Howard, THOMAS WALKER. THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS There will be a musical literary program and a spelling contest on Tuesday night, April 13 at 8 p.m., at the Peoples' S. D. A.

Lee for leading the forces of the Confederacy in the Civil War and a plea that the North and South "get together," Representative T. Webber Wilson, Democrat, of Mississippi, attacked Negro domination of politics in his state and declared that his constituents would not stand for it. His tirade against the Negro followed a speech by Representative John N. Tillman, Democrat, of Arkansas, in which he deplored the action of the George H. Thomas Post, of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic in petitioning Congress not to recognize societies bearing the name "Confederate" or "Confederacy" and calling General Robert E. Lee a traitor. The Pennsylvania Post protested against a move by the Daughters of the Confederacy to obtain possession of the Lee Mansion to perpetuate the Confederate leader's memory. Mr. Wilson, in his remarks, declared that a condition exists in his state today which has no parallel since the days of reconstruction. After charging that Federal offices are sold, he said that the control of Federal patronage is almost entirely in the hands of the Negroes. "God save my country." he said, "from the sad day when Negroes are placed in the seats of the mighty and political control passes into their black hands." Continuing his brace, he asks, "Why should this administration try to do for the Negroes that which God Almighty did not do? The same divine power that created the lower order of animals created us. You can take a mule and curry him; you can shear his locks; you can even put 'stacomb', if you please, on his hair; but by no human process can you make out of him a Kentucky thoroughbred. The Negro bears the same relationship to the Caucasian race. The Negro race is an inferior race, as compared with ours, and why do some Republicans try to do something for him that God Almighty did not do? I have nothing against the Negro race. I have always been their friend. But their pathway leads that way, and our pathway leads the other. My people will not submit to Negro domination. There are some things my people will not submit to, and one of them is control of their politics, either State or National, by the Negroes." In closing his invective, he declared that "if my people cannot get protection from our Government, we will please God, protect ourselves." LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE HEAD ADDRESSES, HOWARD Dr. M. O. Bousfield, head medical adviser of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, of Chicago, Illinois, recently spoke to a group of seniors at a luncheon in the University Dining Hall on the possibilities of the field of insurance. Doctor Bousfield was introduced by Mr. William B. West, Assistant Dean of Men. Dr. Bousfield's talk proved very interesting and encouraged a number of this listeners to choose insurance as a field of labor. DISTRICT DENTISTS OBSERVE HEALTH WEEK Speakers Before Churches and Civic Organizations Beginning with brief addresses on Mouth Health before many of the city's leading churches on Sunday morning, the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society, in connection with other dental organizations, will open Dental Health Week. The program of activities will include dental health talks before Parent-Teacher's Associations, Civic organizations and other citizen groups during the entire week. The slogan of the week's activities will be "Watch Your Teeth"; placards bearing this slogan with other educational data, will be placed in the street cars, and business places throughout the city the week of April 12th. The aim of the campaign is to warn the public of the dangers to general health through defective teeth, particularly in children and to properly instruct it in correct preventative measures. In staging Dental Health Week, the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society is following a national movement of the profession which is purely educational in character. In many States Dental Health Week is observed under the direction of the Commissioner of Health, where dental divisions of the health departments have been established. Dr. Stephen J.Lewis. Dental Editor of the Journal of The National Medical Association, is chairman of the Oral Health Committee and in charge of the local campaign. Dr. D. E. Wiseman is president of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society and Dr. S. D. Savoy is secretary. Mr. and Mrs. James A. Furr had as their week-end guests over the Easter holidays. Mr. and Mrs. John Faines, Mrs. Leonita Gatewood, Mrs. Cora Robinson and Mr. Harris who motored from Richmond, Va. Mr. Graham B. Reid, proprietor of Reid's Corner, left this week for New York City and Boston for a short vacation. Accompanying Mr. Reid, who is making the trib by motor, is Mr. A. C. Childs of Boston, Mass., and Mr. I. Conway of this city. GRAND CHAPTER EASTERN STAR ELECTS OFFICERS GRAND CHAPTER EASTERN STAR ELECTS OFFICERS POLICY DETERMINED Remarkable concert given During January 1926, the Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star of the District of Columbia, elected the following officers to serve one year: Mrs. Minnie B. Smoot, Grand Royal Matron; Dr. William H. Jackson, Grand Royal Patron; Mrs. Ethel Jenifer, Associate Grand Matron; Dr. Elias G. Evans, Associate Grand Patron; Mrs. Mary A. Parker, Grand Secretary; Mrs. Mary L. Howard, Associate Grand Conductress. These officers, as well as the appointed grand officers, and the matrons and patrons of all the subordinate chapters, were called into conference, by the grand royal matron, soon after the election. Fraternal and material plans for the betterment and advancement of the order were freely discussed by all and a happy middle-ground was reached. It was agreed that three activities for the order be put over during the year; the first to be in the Lenten season. This activity was announced by the grand royal matron to be a sacred gantata, "Olivet to Calvary". The grand matron appointed the following persons chairmen of committees who were privileged to help select their workers; Mrs. Minnie B. Wright, of the general committee; Mrs. Maude Jackson, assistant chairman; Mrs. Grace J. Hughes, secretary; Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, treasurer; Dr. William H. Jackson, Music; Mrs. Genevieve E. Lawson, program; Dr. Elias G. Evans, publicity. Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was secured and weekly rehearsals began the first of March. Musical talent from all of the chapters offered their services and gave their time to help make the first of the three activities successful. Program Committee Carrant Committee The program committee presented the following: soprano soloists, Mrs. Ethel R. Bolden, Mrs. Olivia Neal, Mrs. Elizabeth C. Dickerson, Miss Mand Smothers; bass soloists, Lawrence B. Curtis, Charles Neal, Prof E. N. Broadnax, Jeremiah Scott, Dr. W. H. Jackson; tenor soloists, Stanley Brooks, Carey Robinson; quartette, Mrs. Naomi V. Evans, Carey Robinson, Mrs. Maud Dixon, and Jeremiah Scott. These singers were under the control of Dr. W. Scott Mayo who directed the musical program; Miss Montrose Hunt organist. Each subordinate chapter and each department of the Grand Lodge was allotted tickets on the basis of their numerical strength. The proceeds from all activities were prorated among the chapters on the strength of the tickets sold. The money from these activities is to be held in reserve by the chapters until the Grand Lodge begins its building operation and then turned over to the building board for stock if they so wish. Ninty select voices present, vested in the caps and gowns took part in the programs at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. All solos and chorus music were in the program which enabled the audience to follow the story through. Our purpose in this article is not to attempt to comment on the merit or de-merit of the successful cantata rendered, but to tell of the plan of organization by the grand officers of the Eastern Star and their mode of operation to carry the years' work to a successful close. On behalf of the grand royal matron, the chairman of the publicity committee heartily thanks the general public, as well as all the participants, for their generous and hearty support thus far. COLUMBIA REALTY CO. DECLAR ES REGULAR DIVIDENS Concern has record of consistent profits The Columbia Realty and Investment Co. will pay next week, their 22nd quarterly dividend. This is a record that few, if any, other local corporations has equalled. The dividend this quarter, like the other quarters will be 8 per cent. That the company is in a healthful condition can easily be seen from the last financial statement. The total receipts for the year of 1925 amounted to $38,344.18, total assets of the company for this same period is $55,008.08. During the year, the company acquired real estate to the value of $6,738.95.

Keiser, pastor of the congregation preached at the morning and evening services. The day's celebration for which the choir provided special music was under the auspices of the Sunday School. CANTATA AT ST. PAULS A. U. M. P. CHURCH The senior choir of St. Paul's A. U. M. P. Church, Fourth and 1 Streets, Southeast, presented a cantata on Easter Sunday at 8 p.m. "The Lord of All" was rendered to a large and appreciative audience. The outstanding feature of the program was the St. Paul quartet composed of Miss Blanche Coleman, soprano; Phillip Andrews, tenor; Miss Hilda Forester, alto; and Frederick Butler, bass. Other artists participating were Mrs. Serena Tomas, Mrs. Helen Thomas, and Rev. J. W. Manokey the pastor. LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE NOTES At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "Soul Winning." Of what value is an individual in the world if his soul has not been won to some ideal? What is the purpose of the church if it is not to win the souls of men and women to the highest and the best? How can this best be done? Come and share this discussion with us, Mrs. A, C. Brooks will sing at the morning service. The Christian Endeavor Society will meet at 6:45 p.m. GOSPEL FEAST MEETINGS CON TINUE AT JOHN WESLEY CHURCH Men and Boys Only on Sunday at 3 p.m. "Meeting the Risen of Christ" was the subject of the Easter sermon delivered by the pastor, Dr. H. T. Medford, to an audience that filled all seats in both the church and Sunday school auditorium, at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets, Northwest, last Sunday morning. Eight persons were received for membership. The senior choir rendered its Easter music "The Story of the Cross" to a similar size audience at 8 o'clock. The Sunday School program was presented in the afternoon. $650 was received during the day. The "Gospel Feast" services led by Dr. G. Wilson Becton, of Xenia, Ohio will continue through Sunday with the party in lead of the service, morning, afternoon and night. At 8 p.m. a special service for men and boys will be held. The evangelistic campaign will close with a special membership meeting next Wednesday night. At noon Monday he will address the minister of the city. 19TH STREET BAPTIST CHOIR IN SONG SERVICE On Sunday, April 11, the 7:45 o'clock, the fifty-voice choir of 19th Street Baptist Church, under the direction of Benjamin Washington will present it biannual service of song. H. W. Petrie's very descriptive cantata of the passion, death and resurrection of the Savior, will be the offering of the choir, accompanied with Biblical reference reading by Mrs. Helen Early, who will depict the various incidents of the passion and resurrection. The very recent union of the senior and junior choirs of the church has had a most wholesome effect on the singing, and, as this will be the first attempt of the combined choirs to render a complete cantata, many choirs and their members have promised to be in attendance to hear the result of the union, with a view of carrying out the experiment in their own churches. Solos, a duet, trio and an octette number will be features of a program that contains six chorus numbers, Mrs. Lena M. Ware, is the organist; Mrs. Nora Duguid. Larence Curtis, Violet Tibbs, Ethel Powell, John Braxton, Mrs. Bernice Bow, Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson, Mrs. Julia Scott, Miss Anna Morris, Albert Smith, William Mitchell, Mrs. Willie Powell and Benjamin Washington are the special artists.

Howard Board of Athletic Control Severely Scored PAGE SIX ```markdown ``` BLAMED IN C.I.A.A. SQUABBLE Newark, N.J., April 5—The only thing standing in the way of a conference between Howard and Lincoln universities and the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association is the attitude of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard, Dr. W. G. Alexander, Lincoln University graduate manager, declared in a statement regarding this controversy today. Matter Not Ended The agreement of Howard and Lincoln universities to play their annual Thanksgiving Day football game this year does not end the matter, he said: The text of his statement is as follows: "At no time have I been opposed to the re-entrance of Howard into the C. I. A. A. On the contrary, I have not only desired to see a resumption of athletic relations between Howard, Lincoln and the C. I. A. A., but I have been persistently, and I hope consistently, working to that end ever since the break took place. "While I have been closely identified with athletic activities, particularly football, at Lincoln for a great many years, yet I have always tried not to be narrow and unfair; but rather I have been interested in the broad, general development of athletics, and have always sought and stood for what I considered to be for the best interests of all. Causes Trivial "It has always seemed to me that the causes of the break were insignificant and trivial; in fact, too trivial to have had so much weight with the representatives of education and intelligence. "I have been a consistent advocate of, and proposed, many conference for a frank discussion of the entire matter, and, if possible, a re-adjustment of the C. I. A. A. relationship; but unfortunately Howard has always turned a deaf ear to such proposals. It was my suggestion to the authorities at Lincoln that brought about the conference in Baltimore some months ago. On my recommendation Lincoln was prepared to propose a conference composed of representatives of Lincoln, Howard and the C. I. A. A., or else submit the whole proposition to some group for arbitration. Howard would not consider either of these propositions. Lincoln proposed that the matter be referred, either for a decision or an opinion, to the National Intercollegiate Association. Howard was not willing to do this. "The only thing that stands in the way of a conference which would bring about a settlement of this entire matter is the Board of Athletic Control at Howard, or, at least, those who represent the Board. Unnecessary Expense Unnecessary Expense "Lincoln and Howard are signed up for another Thanksgiving game, but this does not settle the matter. The attempts of Lincoln and Howard to play teams which must be brought from long distances or else travel these distances themselves, is entailing unnecessary expense and expenses which will prevent the development of an athletic treasury at each school; and unless they have an athletic treasury to finance the climbing costs of athletics in our schools there is not going to be any material progress in athletics at either of these institutions. "Unfortunately there seems to be a disposition on the part of some individuals at Howard to believe that there is animus on the part of certain persons in the C. I. A. A. and myself. In my attendance at the meetings of the C. I. A. A., I have never heard one word of malice or antagonism expressed towards Howard, and I am sure that Mr. Hurt, coach of Virginia Seminary, who is himself a Howard man, will bear witness to this statement. "As for myself, I bear no brief for the C. I. A. A., and I think everyone is fully aware of my loyalty to Lincoln. Yet my stand in this entire matter has not had the approval of the entire alumni body of Lincoln. I will be for Lincoln only when I feel that Lincoln is right; I will be for the C. I. A. A. only when I feel that the C. I. A. A. is right, and I will be with Howard whenever Howard is right. Quotes From Address "I take the liberty to quote certain portions of my annual address delivered as president at the last session of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association at Hampton: "While it would undoubtedly be presumptious to claim that the salvation and future of athletics in colored institutions depended on the continuance of the C. I. A. A., yet it cannot be seriously denied that the development of athletics in our institutions has been seriously hampered and perhaps set back by partial disruption of the organization. "There can be no denial of what is more than a self-evident fact, namely, that all parties have suffered from the rupture. "One year has pretty thoroughly demonstrated that both Howard and Lincoln need the C. I. A. A., and the C. I. A. A. needs Howard and Li THE SPORT REVIEW LOUIS R.

"I believe I am absolutely safe in saying that a continuance in membership of Howard and Lincoln in the C. I. A. A. would have added an additional 5,000 or 8,000 people at the annual Howard-Lincoln game on last Thanksgiving Day. Failure to maintain schedules with formidable opponents failed to develop first-class teams, and the failure to play with institutions which are in an area where there are literally tens of thousands of graduates and friends of these two schools prevented the development of cumulative interest and enthusiasm for their final efforts. "In addition to any material loss that might be considered, it is a travesty on consistency that institutions of learning, which endeavors to inculcate the principles of unity, cooperation and harmony, should themselves be outstanding examples of the very antithesis of these things. "I have no idea and cannot predict what the future relationship of this organization and Howard and Lincoln will be, but while the C. I. A. A. is assured of the righteousness of its cause, I do not feel we should be hard and unyielding, or hostile to proper overtures for the resumption of the relationship between these schools and the C. I. A. A. Being right we can afford to be magnanimous. The cause of athletics is too big to be hampered by quibbling over small things. "The C. I. A. A. may not be all that we desire, but it is the best vehicle for athletics in Negro schools that we have today, and we must bend our efforts towards making such improvements as circumstances and time may determine; and all of us can and should bend our conscientious efforts towards the accomplishment of this."

Miller and Slayter need no introduction to the folks of Washington for they will be remembered because of their previous visits to Washington with the "Creole Follies" and other great successes. The producers have given Washington folks a long intermission after touring the South and West for the past few seasons and with their "Charleston Fricassee" they promise the greatest show of their successful career, fully equipped with the best in scenery and costumes. Outside of Miller and Slayter, the producers and stars, they have organized an exceptionally fine cast including Amon Davis, the "Roly Poly" comedian,anda well dressed chorus of daring, dashing dancers. A visit to the Howard next week will convince you that "Charleston Fricassee" is one of the finest musical shows on the road today. In addition to "Charleston Fricassee" the screen presentation for the six days is Raymond Griffith in "He's a Prince," a rip-roaring comedy with a good comedian. The management begs to inform you the policy of the theatre is continuous from 2:30 to 11 with matinee daily. Every Friday is the usual midnight ramble. On Sunday, April 18th, for one day only, a gala concert consisting of five headline vaudeville acts, and a feature picture will be the attraction. The Velvet Kind ICE CREAM Delicious!

Florence Mills and her floor show, are at the Alhambra Theater in Harlem in a revue this week. This theater is a former Keith standard house that has been slowly losing ground as the Negro population succeeded white residents in the district. It now becomes an opposition to the Lafayette. Robert Taylor, a hanger on in the vicinity of the Dudley offices on Seventh Street, Washington, who often did odd jobs at Mr. Dudley's home, died in the basement of the Dudley residence on Sixth Street, several days ago. Death was due to natural causes. His native home was in Fredericksburg, Va. Lucille Heganin will be seen in Washington soon prior to going over the circuit of the United Booking offices, accompanied by Cyril Fullerton, pianist. Gallie DeGaston of the "Runnin' Wild company lost his mother on March 28, and was obliged to leave the show at Nashville to attend the funeral at Huntsville, Ala. He rejoined the company in Cincinnati. He was notified in time to arrive home prior to his mother's passing. Herman Brown and his wife have played the T. O. B. A., in a typical consecutive fashion as laid out by the booking arrangements between the C. A. U., and the T. O. B. A. This week the team is in New Orleans. The burlesque season closes earlier this year than usual. "Rarin' to Go" is the first of the colored shows to finish. This week's engagement in Baltimore marks the final performance of the show on the regular schedule. The company opened in Washington last autumn. Sissle and Blake arrive today from Havre on the S. S. Paris after an eight month stay in England and on the continent. They will rest in New York for two weeks and open at the Garrick Theater, Duluth, for a tour of the Finklestein and Rubin houses as a presentation act. Winning a championship adds money to one's salary figure. Some weeks ago "Tiger" Flowers played the Howard Theater, Washington for $625.

Club of New York is bound to stay in the limelight of publicity. Last week the police made arrests in the places where a pair of girl enventurers had frustrated burglaries that do not reflect so creditably on the club. Irene Pryme, a dancing girl and Joseph Reeves the manager were arrested on statutory charges. Wen Talbert is featuring his band over the Pantage circuit. Reports on the act are favorable. The first meeting of the recently elected directors board of the Colored Actors Union is scheduled for Sunday, April 11, at the club headquarters in the Dudley Mid-City theater building. Coy Herndon, erstwhile hoop roller, is now in Havanna. La Prensa, the largest daily illustrated Sunday supplement referring to the group as "American Negro millionaires." John D. Curry, a race publisher of Grand Rapids, Mich., has just released a new number entitled "Honey" that promises to find a popular place in public esteem as one of those crooning melodies that lends itself readily to ukelele use and which also makes a nice dance number. DE MILLE TO PRODUCE ALL NEGRO FILM For the first time in the history of the motion picture industry a leading producer is to make an all-Negro film. Cecil B. De Mille announced that he would make the film despite prophecies of failure and adverse criticism from rival producers. The picture will portray the human, every-day life of the American Negro—his joys, his sorrows—and will not, directly or otherwise, touch on racial problems. The new venture, if the promised policies are adhered to, should open the avenues to a big film place for Negroes in the films. For five years small producers of Negro films have been battering at the doors of the bookers. The editor of this page, with while with the Billboard, personally discussed the matter with the overlord of films, and supervised the screening of several colored productions for distributors, but without immediate results.

The old front entrance has been torn away and the delay in finishing the construction of the new one is charged to the red tape that surrounds, the obtaining of building permits and the "take your time" attitude of a construction concern that disappointed the management. The erection will be complete this week. New lighting fixtures have been installed. Inside the house one was impressed with the air of cleanliness and the redolence of fresh paint. Nor was the renovation confined to the auditorium. A trip-back stage showed that every dressing room and the green room had been re-painted, and that the stage itself had been submitted to a scrubbing. Shelton Brooks brought his company of floor-show artists in "The Darktown Cort House" in for the opening attraction; and the show was a corking good opening. Brooks, always funny in a clean and modest line of comedy, was supported by Joe Simms in a new arrangement of the familiar hobo pair to impersonate important personages. This time an expected judge came to hold court in place of the local barrister who had died suddenly. They created grins, giggles and guffaws a plenty. Ollie Powers contributed his bit to the fun by an amusing use of his ponderous size and the aid of a make-up as a four-year old child. He weighs close to 300 aidupoiuds. He did a number 'straight' and sang tenor with the quartette. Miss McGinty, formerly of Freeman and McGinty, added to the amusement with her characterization of an elderly woman seeking a fortune teller's advice. Walter Crumbly did several character parts effectively, and—shades of Thespis—Sam Dayis, funny under-cork artist was confined to a policeman's role. With him and McGinty in reserve, the show has a lot of uncorked comedy, even though one passes up thoughts of Shelton Brooks' intimate monologue and Joe Simms failure to do a single. There is a lot of unused comedy talent in that show. The chorus was led by Hiljaia Friend, a soubrette who was both shapey limbed and agile. Despite the oft stated dislike for certain agrobatics that leave direct impressions on some, this girl took encores at both performances. She was supported by eight chorus girls of assorted types of pulchritude. The girls were not handicapped with any overabundance of wardrobe, albeit what they wore was pretty.

The policy of no reserved seats prevailed, just forty cents, and take your pick of what was unoccupied. A pair of swift working ushers made seating easy. The opening of the theater has invited opposition from the theatrical labor unions due to the installation of a non-union stage and orchestra crew. Operators Protective Union 224X, Stage Employees Union 22X, and Musicians Protective Union 710 have distributed cards about the vicinity of the house advising union labor to blacklist the theater. What the outcome of the fight will be is yet to be developed. BROADWAY THEATRE 1515 7th St., N.W. RUFUS G. Open Daily at 2:80 P.M. Sat. Week Starting S SUNDAY & MONDAY— 1515 7th St., N.W. RUFUS G.

"HIS SECRETARY" AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE On Sunday and Monday, the Broadway Theater will present the long-awaited film that so many missed on its first showing with beautiful Norma Shearer, Low Cody and an exceptional cast in "His Secretary." The story shows how a nugly duckling turns out to be a beautiful secretary; making it one of the most unique plays you have ever seen. Hobart Henley directed this wonderful photoplay, and if you recall "A Slave of Fashion," "Exchange of Wives," the 'Denial' and several others, we assure you that "His Secretary" beats them all. On Tuesday, Helen Chadwick, Clive Brook and John Harrion in "The Woman Hater." What kind of a man this? See for yourself. Wednesday and Thursday we present to you the perfect cast. It consists of, Greta Nissen, Wallace Beery, and Raymond Hatton in "In the Name of Love" while the week will end on Friday and Saturday with Bebe Daniels in "Wild, Wild Susan."

Some declare the shooting to be accidental; while others hint at domestic difficulties, though no direct statement to that effect has been made.

Y. Morning Telegraph, March 22) Red hot jazz, excitement, snappy and daring, shows, wild and wooly dances and a carefree intimacy between patrons, that is unparalleled any place else in the greater city. That's the night club life in Harlem. During the last few months Broadway has been flocking up to the Harlem clubs in the proverbial droves. It is the fashionable thing nowadays to "do" Harlem, but the trip is well worth whatever it costs. Cotton Club The Cotton Club, which caters exclusively to white patronage, is very similar to numerous downtown clubs, both in the matter of atmosphere and entertainment. Its show, which is presented by Walter Brooks and features as headlines Eddie Rector and Ralph Cooper, Sam Salvin's whirlwind dance artists, is just about the best all-colored revue to be seen anywhere in town. The title of the revue is "The Brown Skin Vamps of 1928," and it is presented twice nightly, 12 o'clock and at 2. It consumes about forty minutes. Besides Rector and Cooper, the other featured acts are Mildred Hudgins, singer; Blanche Thompson, "Boney" Chadwick, the "Charleston Streak"; Mary Stratford, the well-known record artist, and Albertine Pickens Charleston hoofer. The show's programs are changed every twelve weeks, and rehearsals for the latest addition are scheduled to commence some time next week. The Cotton Club assesses its patrons a couvert charge of $1.50, on week nights and $2 Saturday. Connie's Inn, owned by Connie and George Immerman, is very similar to the Cotton Club. It has just about the same seating capacity and features a show fashioned along the same lines in quality. Maude Russell and Margaret Sims, singers and dancers, are the featured performers. They render vocal numbers and lead the ensemble in unique acts. Wheaton and Walker present a fast dancing act. Billy Mitchell, comedy dancer, has the crowd in spasms every time he appears. He has a style all of his own, but in appearance and mannerisms he is an exact double of Harry Delson, of the Avalon Club. Sida Ward is the prima donna. Frank Radcliffe presents an original comedy song and dance act. The other featured entertainer is Alto Oates, "blues shouter," and she has a good voice. The melody for both the show and dancing is provided by Allie Ross and his Connie's Inn Orchestra. The Nest The show is produced and staged under the personal direction of Jack Meisler, who has staged the "Green-wich Village Follies" and other cabaret revues. The couvert charges at Comnie's are $1 on week nights and $1.50 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The Nest, a private resort, is an intimate and merry little place that caters to both whites and blacks. It is one of the few places in town in which a crowd is always to be found. Fast song and dance, numbers by home talent provide the entertainment, while Elmer Snowden and his orchestra furnish the music. In recent months the Nest has catered to a lot of celebrities and well-knowns from downtown, who journey Harlemward for an occasional "fifth." A few of the well knowns who have been there recently are Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Georges Carpentier, Gloria Swanson and her husband and the entire casts of several Broadway musical shows. Barron's is another resort on the order of the Nest. It opens around 11 p.m. and does not close until nearly dawn. Admittance is by card only. The club's seating capacity is seventy-five and there are few nights when it is not filled with an equal number of both white and colored patrons. The entertainment is presented by four girl hostesses, while Bernard Robinson and his orchestra furnish the dance music. The officers of the club are: Joseph Barley, president; Edward (Kid) Brown, secretary; Harry Clifford, charge of affairs; Danny Henry, steward; and Sandy Thompson, treasurer. Savoy Ballroom Two places that attract a big flock of white and colored customers with surprising regularity are Small's Paradise, at Seventh Avenue and Thirty-fifth street, and the Savoy Ballroom, at Lenox avenue and 139th street. The Lenox avenue resort, which was built and opened by I. Jay Fagan, owner of the Arcadia, Broadway and Fifty-third street, is possibly the largest and most elaborate ballroom on Manhattan Island. There is nothing in the Broadway district to compare with it. Its capacity is 3,000, and there are few nights when it is not filled or nearly filled. An evening's entertainment at the Savoy is a very inexpensive affair. The price of admission on week nights is only 50 cents a head, and on Sunday nights 75 cents. Continuous music is furnished by two orchestras, the Charleston Bearcats and "Fess" Williams' Royal Flush Band.
