WIFE DR. I. M. JOHNSON'S CROSS BILL HELD IN ABEYANCE FIRST ST., S. E. FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION WIF DR. I. M. JOHNSO BILL HELD JUDGE HOPES FOR RECONCILIATION JUDGE HOPES FOR RECONCILIATION Alexandria, Va., April 21.—The suit of Mrs. Josephine Lankford Johnson, of 1448 Q Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C., for a divorce from her husband, Dr. Ingersol M. Johnson, a chiropractor, was dismissed by Judge Smith, before whom the case was heard in the City Court of Alexandria last Thursday and Friday. Decision on the cross bill filed by Dr. Johnson was reserved, the judge indicating that it was his belief that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson would effect a reconciliation if not interfered with by parents. Mrs. Johnson is the daughter of Professor and Mrs. J. A. Lankford. Professor Lankford is an architect and is widely known ni the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Johnson filed her suit for a divorce on January 16, 1926. She claimed that her husband had failed to furnish her a home in keeping with her station in life and had contributed nothing to her support. Dr. Johnson lives and has his offices at 1205 Cameron Street. His home is modest but nicely furnished with the exception of a bedroom suite, which is at the home of Mrs. Johnson's parents. Dr. Johnson stated to a Tribune reporter. Dr. Johnson denied that he failed to furnish her a suitable home. He filed a cross bill charging her with desertion, saying that on a half dozen occasions at least he had invited her to join him and share with him his home. He asked for a divorce and custody of their child. At the hearing last Thursday and Friday, the evidence showed that a second child, little Francis Johnson, was born in Paducah, Ky, and was brought to Washington about a month ago, and was removed from a second floor apartment at 1209 Sixth Street, Northwest, to the Children's Hospital, April 14, last, with bronchial pneumonia, but is much improved now and is expected to recover. In denying Mrs. Johnson's petition for a divorce, Judge Smith stated that it appeared that the suit was brought by parents of Mrs. Johnson. He also said that he had just inspected the home of Dr. Johnson and that it met all the requirements of a comfortable home. He found that she had no grounds for a divorce. He declared that if these young people would be left alone, they would probably get together and work out their own salvation. For this reason, a decree on the cross bill of Dr. Johnson was left open for a month to give them an opportunity for a reconciliation. HOWARD UNIVERSITY FUND RESTORED TO INTERIOR BILL The Senate by a vote of 82 to 68 approved the house action in restoring the Howard University appropriation to the bill to provide annual funds for the department of the Interior. Representative Blanton of Texas and Crampton of Michigan exercised the manipulation of pressure to pass the measure while, as was to be expected, Representatives Hare of South Carolina, Lowrey of Mississippi and Byrnes of Tennessee objected strenuously upon one ground or the other against the inclusion of the university appropriation in the bill. Mr. Crampton is the sponsor of a bill entitled "an act to amend act to incorporate Howard University" that is before the house educational committee; and upon which hearings have been conducted. The bill is a composite of H. R. 8466 and 393. This bill was discussed at a public hearing on January 27, and has the approval of the officials of Howard University, President J. Stanley Durkee and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, were heard at this hearing. On April 8, Congressman Weller who represents the Harlem section of New York, introduced a bill that is credited with having been promoted by the alumni that provides for dividing the trustees into three groups. This bill (H. R. 11112), if passed would provide for a board of trustees numbering eighteen to be appointed and elected as follows: (Continued on page 4) The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY SON'S CROSS D IN ABEYANCE VICTORY LIFE HAS SPLENDID REPORT VICTORY LIFE HAS SPLENDID REPORT All of its Real estate loans on Colored Property The Victory Life Insurance Company, a Chicago concern, operating in most of the states in which a sufficiently large Negro population exists to justify qualifying under the insurance laws of the state, is submitting to public scrutiny its second annual statement, made from the books of the company at the close of business December 31, 1925. The company was capitalized at a hundred t thousand dollars and already this sum is supplemented with a surplus of $32,188.59, while total J. PERCY BOND admitted assests of the company are $173,606.98 giving the stock of the company a 73 per cent increase in value over its par price. Truly a remarkable showing when one considers that $2,794.66 is charged off as assests not admitted to consideration, though none the less essential to the business During the second year, a million and a half dollars worth of insurance was added to the volume of business, making a total of $2,244,495 on the books of the company. More than $30,000 has been placed in legal reserve to protect its policy holders, an increase of $24,000 over the previous year's reserve. In making its report, the Illinois insurance department had the following to say, "In connection with the examination, your department caused independent appraisals to be made of the loans. All the loans were shown to be well secured, the value of the land in every case being twice the amount loaned thereon. "The management of the company has evidently adopted a sound and conservative investment policy for which it deserves credit. Your examiners believe that the management deserves commendation for the economy with which the affairs of the company have been managed." The foregoing is a remarkably strong approval coming, as it does, from cold calculating official auditors of a state that is known to have very stringent insurance laws. It is all the more interesting when one is informed that every real estate loan, of the company is made on first mortgages on property ownel by colored people. The Victory officials seem to realize the tremendous service they can be to their race. Anthony Overton, president of the Douglass National Bank and the Overton Hygeine Company is president, and he is supported by a board of directors that includes some of the most substantial and prominent business men of Chicago and New York. The Washington business of the company is in charge of Mr. J. Percy Bond, supervisor of Eastern Division in charge of Maryland and District of Columbia, who is one of the best informed insurance men of our race. He had a nation-wide reputation as a progressive business man before Victory was organized; and he typical of the whole executive personnel of the company. NOTICE Mr. E. R. Rozeau is no longer connected with this paper. Advertisers and subscribers will take due notice. (Signed) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1926 SEC'Y HAWKINS REPORTS LARGE SUM TO CHURCH The field of activities of the African Methodist Episcopal Church covers Dominion of Canada, Bermuda, the West Indies, part of South America, and South and West Africa. This territory is divided into eighteen episcopal districts with each district under the supervision of the bishops of the church. The financial headquarters of the entire system is located at 1541 14th Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C., with John R. Hawkins in charge as secretary-treasurer, who is responsible for the handling of and accounting for the general fund reported by more than eight thousand ministers. The General board of finance, composed of one man from each district, meets annually to hear the report of the secretary-treasurer and audit all books and accounts. Secretary Hawkins has been in charge of this department for the past fourteen years and made his last annual report to the general board of finance on Wednesday, April 21st. This report shows the total receipts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1920 to be $374,653.32, all of which was properly accounted for by vouchers showing appropriations as follows: To schools, $31,363.14; church extension, $31,363.14; foreign mission work, $15,681.57; home mission work, $15,681.57; mission preachers through annual conference, $73,407.84; pensions to retired ministers, $33,374.04; pensions to widows of deceased ministers, $43,734.04; pensions to orphans of deceased ministers, $4,140.00; account of current expenses, pay roll of bishops, general offices, special emergency appropriations and all general Church expenses, $74,103.40; cash balance on hand, $51,805.66. This is regarded as remarkable, especially so, since these figures do not include any of the funds raised and reported for local activities of the several churches. DR.

MARY MAY Miss Hegamin is widely known as a phonograph record star. She appears at the Broadway Theatre next week. SUIT FILED FOR A DIVORCE FROM MINISTER Through Attorney Armond W. Scott, Mrs. Ida B. Miles has filed suit for a limited divorce from her husband, David L. Miles, whom she says is employed in the week days as a messenger in the Interior Department and on Sundays preaches at a church in Alexandria, Va. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Miles says that for the first two years and a half of their married life, they got along fine, but that at the end of that period a woman by the name of Beatrice Brown came to live in the house where they resided. Her husband, she says, became infatuated with Beatrice Brown and began clandestine meetings with her. Because of his friendship with Beatrice Brown, Mrs. Miles charges, her husband became cold and indifferent toward her. Mrs. Miles says that she went to visit her sister in Philadelphia about March 21, last, and upon her return home three weeks later she found that her husband had moved and had made no arrangements for any place for her and their two children. At the time she went to Philadelphia, she says, her husband was not speaking to her and had not spoken to her since last June. Her husband calls himself a minister of the gospel, Mrs. Miles says, and is a regular pastor of a church in Alexandria, Va. He receives about $75 a month from this church, Mrs. Miles states, and the church sisters supply him with clothes, money and other necessities of life. He is also a messenger in the Interior Department and receives $115 a month from the Government, Mrs. Miles says he he's told her. Mrs. Miles asks the court for a limited divorce, temporary and permanent alimony and counsel fees. The couple were married in the District of Columbia on July 29, 1920, by the Rev. W. H. Hill. They have two children, a boy, aged 2 years, and a girl, aged 15 months. Both are in the custody of the mother. Datcher Chapter to Hear Anniversary Sermon On Sunday, April 25th, Rev. E. B.

Brown is chairman of the committee of arrangements and Hon. Lady Georgia Gaskins is Royal Matron of the Chapter. PRUDENTIAL BANK SHOWS STEADY GROWTH The financial statement of the Prudential bank, made from the audit of April 12th as published elsewhere in this paper discloses a very substantial growth of the institution since the report of December 31st was made public. Several important increases are noted in the figures that indicate advancement in the right direction; careful management and a steady growth in public confidence. There has been an increase in the capital stock of $4,622.22 making the paid in capital $55,571.17. With this it is noted that the surplus too has increased $183.38 to $1,434.44 or about nine per cent. That the bank is taking its expected place in service to the community is emphatically indicated by the persistent climb of the deposits entrusted to its care. The April report shows a total of $341,725.04 on deposit with the bank. This is an increase of more than $28,000 in four months. There is virtually no overdrafts while we do find an undivided profit of $450; and there is also shown a bond investment of more than $118,000, in readilyconvertible securities good in any financial market. The total resources of $419,181.30, almost a half million, gives the bank a real prestige. HAND CRUSHED IN IRONING MACHINE HAND CRUSHED IN IRONING MACHINE Mrs. Margaret Roberson, 142 D St. Southwest, temporarily employed in the laundry of Garfield Hospital annex as laundress, was injured on April 14th while working at the mangle at 2:30 p.m. She inadvertently had her hand caught between the steam roller and the pressure roller of the ironing machine. As her hand was slowly being drawn between the rolls, Miss Nannie Banks in response to the unfortune woman's screams rushed to the belt and throwing it into neutral with the lever, stopped the machinery. With the assistance of Tedd Williams, Miss Banks released the injured woman who fell exhausted and unconscious. Dr. Alexander of the hospital staff gave her immediate attention and the injured woman may suffer no permanent results. Sne was able to go to her home. BURGLARS VISIT MURRAY BUILDING STEAL LIQUOR Herriot Drug Store Loses Whiskey Tribune Safe Damaged Burglarls seem to have set the Murray Casino Building down for monthly calls. The initial burglary was committed on March 19, and on Tuesday, April 20, the second visit was made to 918-920 U Street, Northwest. At the opening of business Wednesday morning, Dr. Herriot discovered his drug store to have been pretty thoroughly ramsacked. His petty cash box was empty, the safe damaged and looted of about a case of bonded whiskey. In addition to the whiskey, fifteen dollars and a stock of cigars and cigarettes were taken. The burglars pried the combination dial from the door of the safe in the office of the Tribune and Murray Brothers' Printing Company, but the safe withstood the efforts to open it and the assets of these concerns were underdisturbed. In F. Morris Murray's private office, a filing cabinet was pried open. So was the cash box of the Suburban Gardens. Due to the fact that the Garden has been closed for some months this box was empty. Inasmuch as both offices and the store are open to an unhindered view from the street, and are kept brilliantly lighted through the night; and the safe can readily be observed from the street, it is difficult to comprehend how the jobs which evidently required considerable time could have proceeded unmolested. The building-which is the property of the Murray Brothers is located just across a twenty-foot alley from the eighth precinct police station house to where complaint was promptly made. FAMED HOWARD ALUMNUS DEAD IN PHILADELPHIA, PA. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. OIVOI FAMED HOWARD DEAD IN PHI REV. JERNAGIN MAY WIN WORLD TOUR CONTEST SPECIAL AGENT HERE TO ASSIST IN PUTTING WASHINGTON MINISTER OVER According to the last tabulation of votes in the Mme. C. J. Walker contest for the group of popular ministers who will be the guests of the company on a tour of the world, a Washingtonian, Rev. W. H. Jernagin is sixth on the list, making him one of the ten selected for the trip, if voting were terminated with that count. However, there are more than four hundred and fifty names entered in the [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. REV. W. H. JERNAGIN contest, and unless Rev. W. H. Jernagin is accorded some substantial support in the way of votes, he may be far out stripped before the contest closes. In keeping with the policy of cooperation that the company has maintained toward contestants who have disclosed a meritorious standing with their communities as reflected by the vote, they have sent a special representative, Mrs. Marjorie M. Joyner to this city to assist in crystallizing local sentiment into votes. The moral effect of a group of eminent Negroes travelling around the world is pregnant of great possibilities for the Race, and the Tribune can think of no better man to carry the true story of culture and ambitions to the world at large than Rev. Jernagin. He is well informed, diplomatic, aggressive and has a personality that commands respect from those with whom he comes in contact THIEVES STRIP CAR OF PERRY W. HOWARD On Tuesday evening, April 20, Perry W. Howard, special assistant U. S. Attorney General, 1829 S Street, Northwest, drove with his wife to the early performance at the Republic Theater in his Chervrolet sedan. They arrived at 7:30 p. m. and left the theater at about 10 p. m. to find the car had disappeared. M. M. Harris volunteered to take Mrs. Howard home while the Counsellor went to the Eight precinct police station to report his 10s. The car was found, stripped of its balloon tires, rims and tools in an alley at the rear of 515 Florida Avenue by Officer J. P. Sayler. The loss amounts to about one hundred dollars. The car is insured. BATHING BEACH BILL SPECIFIES SEGREGATION and the from the prehend required proceed- property located by from the house promptly At the instance of Senator Overman of North Carolina, the Zihlman bill authorizing artificial bathing beaches in the District, was amended to specify definitely that one beach is for colored and one for white people. This necessi- tated sending the bill back to the House for action on the amendment. After the bill is signed by the Presi- dent, an appropriation of $345,000 will be asked to carry out the construction work. 8 PAGES ONE SECTION ORCE WARD ALUMNUS PHILADELPHIA, PA. DR. SINCLAIR SICK SHORT TIME Dr. William A. Sinclair, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church of Philadelphia, and the most widely known of Howard University alumni, died at Mercy Hospital from double pneumonia on Tuesday night, April 13, about 9 o'clock. He had been ill but two days, and his passing leaves a void in the activities of the alumni that it will be hard to fill. Dr. Sinclair resided at 2403 Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia, and will be buried from Allen Chapel Church. Services will be conducted by Rev. C. W. Stewart, Sunday at 2 p.m. A large group of Howard officials and alumni will attend the funeral. Prof. Kelley Miller, Prof. George Cooke, Mrs. Cofala Cook of the Board of Education, and Dr. W. L. Smith will head the party. They will be joined by a similar group from New York and other points north of Philadelphia. A meeting of the Howard Alumni Association scheduled for Monday evening, April 26, in Washington has been postponed out of respect for the deceased. His last official act was the sending of a communication calling this meeting. His illness resulted from a cold contracted while on a journey west in the interests of a bill the alumni is sponsoring before congress. Dr. Sinclair's wife died twenty-eight years ago, and he had no children. Dr. Smith who has charge of funeral arrangements has been endeavoring to locate other relatives in South Carolina. The following sketch of Dr. Sinclair is reprinted from the Howard University record of March, 1920. It is wholly safe to say that no Alumnus of Howard University has rendered more distinguished service to his Alma Mater and to his race than Dr. William A. Sinclair. Dr. Sinclair was born at Georgetown, S. C., two years before General Beauregard fired upon Fort Sumpter. When about four years of age, in the early part of the Civil War, he was sold with his mother, from his home; but about a year after the war, after many trying experiences, they returned to his native place, where a partial reuniting of the family was effected. His father died shortly after this and the widowed mother became responsible for the boy's maintenance and education He attended the local schools of his native town and prepared himself to enter upon a higher course of study at Claflin University, Orangeburg, S.C. From this institution he went to the well-known South Carolina College at Columbia, that venerable institution of learning which in the days of (Continued on page 4) PHILADELPHIA DEPOSITS $10,000 IN RACE BANK Philadelphia, April 19.—By ordinance passed by the City Council and signed by Mayor Kendrick, the city of Philadelphia has designated the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co., of which Mayor R. R. Wright is president, as a regular depository for the city and county's funds. Charles R. Hall, president of the City Council oducted the resolution. As soon as the Mayor signed it the city treasury drew a check for $10,000 as the initial deposit. This is the first time in the history of Pennsylvania, or the East, that a Race bank has been approved as government depository. The stockholders were elected. One said "If the great City of Philadelphia can draw money out of a white bank and put it into a colored bank, what ought colored organizations, churches, and individuals do in order to build a solid financial foundation for our people?" The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co., has a paid in capital of $125,000 and surplus of $300,000 fully paid. Among its directors are R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder; E. W.

Registration The annual membership campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored —People opened last Wednesday night with an enthusiastic mass meeting at the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church. The meeting was addressed by Rienza B. Lemus and Isadore Martin. A second mass meeting was held on Sunday afternoon in the Zion Baptist Church and was addressed by Mrs. Lena Hart and Congressman John B. Sosnowski. Reports reaching headquarters, 1019 U Street, indicate that friends of the N. A. A. C. P. are enthusiastically pressing the campaign. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is literally alive with workers. For the past several seasons a special appeal has been made to the teaching corps of the public schools to assist in the membership campaigns, and the results have been gratifying and commendable. This season, in addition to appealing to the teaching corps of the public schools, an appeal has been made to the teaching corps of Howard University. A personal letter has been written the teachers asking their assistance. It is interesting to contemplate whether the spirit of cooperation in such a movement as the N. A. A. C.

A SAFE FOUNDATION FOR FRIENDSHIP A small boy defined a friend as "a feller who knows all about you and likes you just the same." It is a pity to have our friends think better of us than we deserve. If their confidence and affection are given us because they think we are something we are not, that friendship has a very unstable foundation. At any moment it may fall in ruins. Do not try to keep your friend by hiding your real self, but by living up to their ideal of you so far as you can. Sensible friends will not expect perfection, nor throw you over when they discover you in a fault, but on the other hand, love and trust must feed on worth, or die of starvation. Be sure that the love of your friend is not dependent on not finding you out. You have faults, of course, but see to it that they are of the sort your friends can recognize, and like you just the same. —Selected. WHAT OF YOUR PETS?

Rev. W. H. Jernagin, a life long friend of the deceased left Washington on Monday night to represent this city at the funeral. RADIO BATTERIES RECHARGED Called for and Delivered TUNGAR BATTERY STATION POTOMAC 3562 707 R St., N.W. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, has signified his intention of transferring his membership from Columbia Lodge No. 85 to W. Bruce Evans Lodge No. 380 of Fairmont Heights, Maryland. He has issued a special dispensation to Bruce Lodge to receive him as a member. The granting of this dispensation is taken as an indication that the Grand Exalted Ruler is preparing to go through with his threatened suspension of Columbia Lodge for ignoring the decision of District Deputy E. W. Bundy, in allowing an appeal by Joseph I. Bailey in the case of Herbert C. Akers, who was acquitted by the lodge on a charge of having made slanderous remarks concerning the Grand Exalted Ruler. Columbia Lodge was ordered to show cause why it should not be suspended. It advised the Grand Exalted Ruler that the lodge was of the opinion that District Deputy Bundy acted without authority. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson takes the position that the lodge should have followed the regular procedure and appealed to him and by its action in ignoring a decision of the District Deputy, the lodge rebelled against the laws and authority of the Grand Lodge. The whole matter is held in abeyance until the Grand Exalted Ruler returns from the West. He left Sunday night for Ft. Wayne, South Bend and Indianapolis, Ind. Columbia Lodge No 85 will not be suspended from the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World by Grand Exalted Ruler I. Finley Wilson. The possibility of suspension was removed Monday night when the lodge receded from its position ignoring a decision of District Deputy E. W. Bundy and voted to appeal to the Grand Exalted Ruler. A resolution to appeal to the Grand Exalted Ruler on the ground that District Deputy Bundy acted without authority in reversing a decision of the lodge acquitting Herbert Akers of a charge of having made certain statements reflecting upon the character of the Grand Exalted Ruler was offered by Perry W. Howard, Grand Legal Advisor and a member of Columbia Lodge. It was supported by John F. Wilson, Thomas F. Jones and John F. Ross, and was adopted by the lodge. Pending the appeal Herbert Akers will continue to serve as the recording secretary of the lodge. The only question involved in the appeal is whether or not District Deputy Bundy acted within his authority in allowing the appeal and reversing the decision of the lodge.

J. JOSEPH, B CY BOND, Supervisor Eastern 1238 U Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. Bishop W. D. Johnson of Plains, Ga., president of the Church Extension Board, and its members, have just concluded one of the most gratifying board meetings held in the history of the organization. The report of Dr. S. J. Johnson, secretary-treasurer, extracts from which are given below, indicated a most substantial advance along the line laid down in the policies of the Extension Board. The board in view of the fine surplus represented together with the interest, profits and the splendid success in collecting, that has crowned Dr. Johnson's management of the business administration, appointed a committee to lay plans for underwriting fire insurance upon the rural churches. Many rural churches are denied insurance by the commercial companies. This action was taken at the meeting held in the Fourteenth Street, offices of the board last Wednesday. Dr. Johnson reported the year's receipts to be $44,028.09 which with the balance carried forward made a total of $88,222.31. Disbursements during the year were $38,027.81 leaving a cash balance of $50,194.50. The net cash on hand in banks in $30,506.38 against which there are liabilities of only $19,688.12. The total assets of the organization invested almost entirely in church properties is $666,326.47 or in plain words the organization after deducting the liabilities for which it is responsible is worth $647,638.35 giving it a place among the largest business institutions of the Race. Its value to the A. M. E. Church is greatly augmented by the rapidity with which re-payments of mortages and note loans to different churches have enabled the board to re-issue its funds to others. A Visit To Harrisburg Mr. and Mrs. William McClain of 1726 Willard Street and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Jackson of 1707 Oregon Avenue motored to Harrisburg, where they visited over the week end with A. D.

Too long have we been susceptible to the emotional outbursts of the "revival" type. Just so long as our interest in the things that count, or that we think count, is expressed in outbursts of enthusiasm which quickly subside, just so long will our wants and needs be disregarded by the world at large. Politicians have long since learned that a storm of protest from Negroes is but a brief thing that soon passes away. The foregoing is prompted by the contrast presented between the registration meeting of the local body, of the N.A.A.C.P. and the Sweet-Defense Fund meeting of some weeks since. Both were held in the same edifice, both had the same general purpose, and both were under the same national auspices, yet, in the earlier meeting it was impossible for a late comer to obtain a seat, and Washington intelligencia was out in force. At the later meeting, speakers and executives faced a corporal's guard of the faithful and rows of empty seats. The difference is accounted for by the fact that the larger attendance was prompted by the immediate needs of the occasion and the emotional expansion of the race to the occasion; while the registration session typified steady, faithful year-round interest of the sort that counts. It meant the steady "grind" that sounds like WORK, which is the only thing that will get results in any effort. The "Flash in the pan" is very pictureque, but the heat does not endure for long. BY THEIR FRUITS The news pages of this issue of the Tribune contain several stories indicative of the substantial growth of several race financial institutions. It is a pleasure to record such progress, for upon it is based the salvation of our people. It is a deplorable fact that for too many years our so-called "better" people, those who proclaim loudest about race progress, have ignored the natural cycles of business movement. An increased volume of business for our banks, insurance companies and other enterprises means surplus funds that may be invested in Negro property holdings or are available to those who need commercial loans or credits for the establishment or maintenance of other businesses. These concerns afford employment for our boys and girls, and harness education to practical application, thus assuring a future to at least among us. Some day the officers of these suc FAMED HOWARD ALUMUS DEAD IN PHILADELPHIA (Continued from page 1) delivery had been patronized by the aristocracy of the state, including Hayes, Rhett, McDuffie, Barnwell and Calhoun, and which, under Republican administration of the state after the close of war, has been thrown open to colored as well as to white students. Colored students were debarred from this institution in 1877 and Mr. Sinclair entered Howard University where he was graduated from the college and theological departments and where he later received the degree of Master of Arts. The next step in his educational development was post graduate study at Andover Theological Seminary where he won a prize for a dissertation, and delivered an address at the commencement exercises. For six years he devoted himself to missionary work under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, at Nashville, Tenn. Here he took advantage of the opportunity to study Medicine at McHenry Medical College of Central Tennessee University (now Walden University or Nashville), and took his medical degree, being also the salutatorian of his class. During his college vacations, Mr. Sinclair taught school, and later filled with credit and success, the positions of Principal of the Graded School at Georgetown, South Carolina, and Professor of Natural Sciences in Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. Dr. Sinclair was for seventeen years the Financial Secretary of Howard and raised the amount necessary to build the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Throughout this period of his activity he showed unusual power of oratory, and in his labor for his Alma Mater he has been heard in the pulpit and on the platform throughout the Unite States and in the United Kingdom, as well FOUR Washington, D.C., by UBLISHING COMPANY, Incorporated Phone, Potomac 1667 July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at the Act of March 3, 1879 President Managing Editor Associate Editor Circulation Manager Six Months, $1,25.

Until we wake up to a realization of these facts, we shall continue in the unenviable role of the under-dog of our period. Our folks may preach uplift; but by their patronage we shall known them as they are. BETTER BUSINESS WEEK The young men of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity are to be commended for the "Better Business Week" program they are just concluding. Any move that serves to focus the Negro mind upon the need for a greater effort toward obtaining a more just proportion of the business of our nation, merits approval. If the efforts the fraternity have put forth start our people to thinking in terms of trade and commerce, into thinking how to retain within the race group some of the profits of our industry, and how to improve the general status of the race, the "week" will have justified the hopes of its sponsors. If Better Business Week arouses enough interest to make GOOD BUSINESS DAYS the normal thing for already established commercial establishments, it is entitled to praise. If it helps to create a more favorable opportunity for the young Negro with a commercial inclination, the boys will have done well. Unlike most educational campaigns, this one must begin at the top, for it is in the so-called upper brackets of Negroes that most disregard for our business enterprises exist. The fraternity has at least expressed an open recognition of the most vital gap in the road to racial advance. For this the race owes the Phi Beta Sigma a hearty vote of thanks. Now that the citizens of the District of Columbia are actively pushing Congress for full citizenship rights for residents of the District, with voting privileges and the right to representation in the very Congress that taxes us without representation in violation of the fundamental reason for the founding of the United States, we are waiting for the "handkerchief-headed brother" to come through with the usual approval of the things that are. Past-history gives every reason to believe that some big dumb-bell of our race will decry the idea of so many colored people voting. Some prominent colored brothers have funny ideas. Dr. Sinclair has been actively connected with every comprehensive movement looking toward the welfare of the race, and besides being the author of many pamphlets dealing with race relations, he has written a very noteworthy book, "The Aftermath of Slainery," which shows profound research and reflective study. A splendid view of his present activities may be seen from the following: He is a trustee of Howard University; Trustee of Berean Manual Training and Industrial School, Philadelphia; member of Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P.; member of Board of Directors and Financial Secretary of Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia; member of Laymen's Conference of the Interchurch World Movement; member of the Board of Publications of the A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia. Also, during the war, Dr. Sinclair served as Y. M. C. A. Executive Secretary at the following camps: Holabird, near Baltimore, Md.; Greene, Charlotte, N.C.; Wills, New York. He is at present a field worker in the Red Cross Movement. The editor of the Howard Alumni Sentinel added to the above the following Editor's Note:— "In addition to the work for the University above referred to, Dr. Sinclair also collected the money for the most of the scholarship endowments, and also for current scholarships and the Theological Endowment Fund." PORTEER BROTHERHOOD OF FICIAL IN WASHINGTON W. H. DesVerney, assistant general organizer for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Powers, arrived in Washington on Thursday morning, for a four-day stay in the interest of his organization. He reports that the Brotherhood now numbers nearly seven thousand members, and that Mr. A. Phillips Randolph, the general organizer and his staff have almost concluded the organization's campaign. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. APRIL 23. 1926 BY WELLINGTON ADAMS A 1889 Mrs. ESTELLE J. EVANS ESTELLE EVANS TO GIVE PROGRAM A public testimonial and benefit pianoforte recital for the Columbia Conservatory of Music will be given by Mrs. Estelle J. Evans Wednesday evening, April 28th, at 8:15 o'clock at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. NINTEENTH STREET BAPTIST CHOIR "Life Everlasting," a sacred cantata was rendered by the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church choir, Benjamin Washington chorister, Sunday evening, April 11th, at 8 o'clock. The auditorium was crowded with members and friends and the Asbury M. E. Choir turned out in full in response to an invitation by the director. While the entire program was creditably performed, the double quartet deserves special commendation for its fine textual interpretation and musicially reading of the score in hand. The trio was next in efficient rendition and the duet was given with feeling. The soloists, both the two sopranos and tenor, sang with utmost charm and grace and the basso made a good effort in his selection. The choruses were facinating, especially the closing number, revealing a wealth of melodious phrasing and harmonious voice blending that was significant in its unfolding crescendos and diminuendos. Benjamin Washington directed with fine sense of proportion and rhythmic impulse carrying his singers with him easily. The organist, Mrs. Ware, supported the program in a most effective manner with fine organ technic at her command throughout the evening, manifesting good musicianship. Continued from page (1) One-third elected by mail ballot of the alumni; one-third appointed by the Commissioners of Education, and the remaining third to be elected by these two groups at their first meeting.

ASBURY'S CHOIR AT SHILOH In our article appearing in last week's issue concerning the choirs at Shiloh Baptist Church recently, the comment on Asbury M.E. choir should have read as follows: "The Asbury M.E. choir, Robert W. Johnson, chorister, closed the program with the best balanced choir group of the assembly, with most graceful directing on the part of the leader. Their shading was especially pleasing. Please note the correction. The omission was inadvertent. NEGRO SUITE ON NEGRO SYNPHONIC PROGRAM SYMPHONIC PROGRAM New York music lovers who heard the fourth and last concert program by the Harlem Symphony Orchestra, E. Gilbert Anderson, conductor, at the Renaissance Casino were fortunate in hearing performed the third group Bandana Sketches: 1. Chant; 2. Lament; 3. Slave Song; 4. Negro Dance by Clarence C. White, well known American composer. Other selections included a baritone solo by Frank G. Harris, Overture by Weber and Rossini and Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Allie Ross, very creditably filled the place of Mr. Anderson, now convalescing from a serious illness. CITIZENS TO GIVE TESTIMONIAL TO LEWIS Plans are now in the making for a testimonial to be tendered Professor J. Henry Lewis, who for over thirty years has served the community faithfully and unselfishly as director of the Amphion Glee Club, the Asbury M. E. Church, and at the present time is the chair director of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. If ever there was a man deserving public commendation for long, wholehearted and efficient service to his own home-folk, that man is J. Henry Lewis, a Christian gentleman, a useful citizen and a successful musical director of popular standings. The testimonial will be in the nature of a monster musical program consisting of both local and out-of-town talent, followed by a public citizens' reception to be held in Metropolitan A.M.E. Church very soon. Among those endorsing the movement are: C. F. M. Brown, the British Embassy; Maj. Arthur Brooks, Emmett J. Scott, Garnet C. Wilkinson, William O.

LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE NOTES At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning, Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "Losing One's Self." Concentration has long been considered a virtue, but in this busy, wild, impulsive age it seems almost impossible to be dominated by a single thought or idea. Specialization, however, is becoming more and more the order of the day. If success is to be attained some definite objective must be our goal. In religion as well as in other phases of human endeavor we must lose ourselves if we would attain. How can this be done? You are privileged to share the discussion Sunday morning. There will be special music by the choir. The senior Christian Endevor society will meet at 6:45 p.m. Daughter Elks to have Song Service at Second Baptist Church Daughter Elks to have Song Service at Second Baptist Church Next Sunday at Second Baptist Church, Third Street between H and I Streets, Northwest, the Daughter Elks' Choir will render a song service at 3:30 p.m. for the benefit of the Fine Group of School Artists to Participate in Pageant Fine Group of School Artists to Participate in Pageant BURLEIGH NUMBER PROGRAMMED The Community Center Department of the public schools will present "War and Peace," an opera-pageant by Albion Fellows Bacon, directed by Marie More Forrest and Nathaniel L.

Among the musical numbers to be rendered will be Harry Burleigh's "Ode to Ethiopia." Barry Farms Notes A farmers' wedding play with seven brides served to attract a good-sized house at Campbell A. M. E. Church on Monday night from which $76 was realized. The money will be turned over to Rev. Charles A. Wesley, who is soon to leave for the A. M. E. Church Conference. A new athletic club composed of policemen and firemen was recently organized. Ernest Brooks of the 11th precinct is to be manager. Early drills of the baseball squad are being held. Sergent Frank Waters is likely to be president. Through the efforts of the Barry Farm Citizens-Association, a new pattern bulb drinking fountain was installed on the playground of the Jas. G.

All of the speakers to the citizens Association meeting congratulated the officers upon the splendid attendance. Major W. E. E. Covell, District Surveyor Melvin P. C. Hazen, Dr. William H. Lady, and Sir Wallace Hatch of the Monday Evening Club gave splendid addresses. Miss Edna Gordon, by her vocal rendition, captivated the house. Gradual improved condition was reported of the following citizens of the sick list Mr. Allen F. Jackson, Mr. Horace Queenan, Mrs. Etta Weaver Hawkins, Mr. Susie Dyson and Rev. George W. Lucas. Having learned that some unknown forces were trying to take from them, Section C, of the Anacostia Park, an executive committee meeting called by Mr. Daniel Webster, Tuesday night, met and issued a strong and vigorous protest. Anacostia Tree Nursey Opposed by Association The proposed tree nursery in Anacostia Park, was vigorously opposed by the executive committee of the Barry Farms Civic association, meeting at the home of Samuel Hawkins on Pomeroy road. The resolution, embodying the "strenuous opposition" of the association to the proposition, stated that the presence of such a nursery in section C of the park, where it is proposed to locate, would mean the exclusion from that section of those who would be benefited by its park advantages. spring really fund.

Houston, who were appointed trustees to sell this property by the District Supreme Court.. The first suit was brought by the Onondaga Litholite Company through Attorney Augustus W. Gray. The amount of the lien is $9,500 with interest and costs. This lien is for the granite used in the construction work. The other suit was brought by Charles H. Green, of 3323 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, through Attorneys Joseph F. Settle and M. M. Harris! The amount of this lien is $10,3000. It is for the brickwork, labor and material, used in the construction work. Both suits seek to enjoin the trustees from paying out any money received by them from the proceeds of the sale of the unfinished Masonic Temple until liens are paid.

She is well educated, has a perfect Giction and a splendid delivery. She has recorded for the Paramount, Re- gal and Banner companies before sign- ing an exclusive contract with the ‘Cameo company. She has recorded a number for each of the leading New York publishers, and most of her records find a marKet with the white public to whom they have a great appeal.

Thirty- two finished. The first check gave the race to Armstrong, but complaints were made, which resulted in ,the discovery that two Armstrong béys had not run the full distance. This caused each run- ner after the fifth to be moved up two places, and the revised score was Duntar 28, Armstrong 53, the low score winning. ~ The winning team received a cup as the school trophy, and “the first ten men qualifying received medals, The distance was three miles, The course started in front of Armstrong Tech, up New Jersey Avenue, to Rhode Island Avenue, the nto Fourth Street and the Reservoir Lake, past Howard University, out Michigan Avenue to First Street, which fur- nished a straightaway finish of about a mile to the end of the course in front of the Dunbar High. The runners got away prompt at 8:15 p.m, The leaders set a good pace at the start. The line was soon strung out for a block or two. At the end of about 16 minutes, the specta- tors caught glimpses of the runners as they swung down the hill on First Street. As the leaders drew closer, the rooters were urging their favor- ites to extend themselves and win. Wade Carter, finishing strong, crossed the line a winner in 19 minutes and 47 seconds. Eynest_ Salter, Arm- strong Tech, beat out Robert Cheeks, Dunbar High, for second place.

Mr. Lemus claims that the men of the Race have been responsible for our failures politically through their failure to develop any leadership other than a selfish one, and often a "followless" leadership usurped the authority of "the voice" for our voters. "Ofimes," he said, our leadership was thrust upon us through those appointed to federal office by the powers that disregarded the wants and needs of the people." W. L. Jones of. Oklahoma, E. L.
