COMMITTEE TO SELECT THE PRESIDENT OF HOWARD U. TO MEET MONDAY NEXT TENDENCY SHOWN TO FAVOR COLORED MAN FOR POSITION ONE LIFE, 25 HOMES, LOST IN VA. FIRE FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION COMMITTEE TO S PRESIDENT OF TO MEET M TENDENCY SHOWN TO FAVOR COLORED MAN FOR POSITION The committee appointed March 25 to select a president to succeed Dr. J. Stanley Durkee who has resigned the presidency of Howard University will meet at the office of the chairman in New York City, at 3 p.m., Monday, May 3. The committee is composed of the following: Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of New York City, chairman; Dr. Charles R. Brown, of Yale University, New Haven, Conn.; Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.; Dr. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, pastor of All Soul's Unitarian Church, Washington, D.C.; Dr. M. O. Dumas, Washington, D.C.; Dr. Sara W. Brown, Washington, D.C.; Mr. John R. Hawkins, Washington, D.C.; and General John H. Sherburne, Boston, Mass. Recent conferences have disclosed a willingness on the part of the white members of the committee to select a Negro for the post, if the Colored members so desire, if and if a Colored man is named, the responsibility of a judicious selection will likewise be placed to their credit or blame, as the case may be. Piecing together rumors and confidences, it would seem that in the order named, Kelly Miller, John Hope and J. E. Moreland are the outstanding candidates. Prof. Miller, a member of the faculty, perhaps more than any other typifies the traditions of Howard. John Hope has been the successful executive of Morehouse College at Atlanta; while Mr. Moreland as national executive of Y.M.C.A. work among Negroes and a trustee of Howard University, may be regarded as having a good impression upon other members of the board. THREE INJURED BY AUTOS IN ONE DAY Tuesday of this week was a bad one for pedestrians. Mrs. Lucy Ferguson, age 53 of 34 Pierce Street, while hurrying to catch a street car at Maryland Avenue and D Streets, Northeast, was injured by a car which was being driven by John R. Boughton of Lyon Village, Va. She was slightly injured and was cared for at the Casualty Hospital. Samuel Johnson, also aged 53, was knocked down by a car driven by William C. Williamson of 903 Street, at Pennsylvania Avenue and 22nd Street. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital with bruises on his face and arms. Lloyd Hughes, 16, of 936 T Street, was run over by a motor truck after falling from the vehicle at-Wheaton, Md. He was injured on both arms and sustained fractures of the hips. After first aid at Walter Reed Hospital, he was removed to the Emergency Hospital where he is in a serious condition. SCOTT DIVORCE TO BE RE-OPENED Mrs. Emma A. Scott has filed a motion for a re-hearing of her suit for a limited divorce from Cornelius R. Scott, proprietor of the Waffle Shop, 807 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Mrs. Scott is seeking a limited divorce, alimony, counsel fees and court costs and the return of a diamond ring which she claims Mr. Scott took from her. In her bill of complaint she charges cruelty. Mr. Scott's defense is that at the time of their marriage he had a living wife from whom he had not been then divorced. He says that on October 15, 1921, the Corporation court of Alexandria, Va., granted him a divorce from Mrs. Hattie Pickett Scott, which provided that neither party should remarry within six months. With full knowledge of this provision of the decree, he says, Mrs. Emma A. Scott, with whom he had been intimate for sometime prior to the signing of the Alexandria decree, went through the forms of a marriage ceremony in Rockville, Md., for the purpose of circumventing the Virginia law. Mrs. Scott is represented by Attorneys L. A. Bailey and Madison L. Hill. Mr. Scott is represented by Attorneys William E. Leahy and Leonard A. Block. The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY SELECT THE F HOWARD U. MONDAY NEXT ONE LIFE, 25 HOMES, LOST IN VA. FIRE There is an investigation pending as to why the fire department and other community officials who should have been actively interested were absent from a fire in South Washington, Arlington County, Va., that was manifestly of incendiary origin and that lasted for nine hours. A toll of one life and nearly 25 homes occupied by Negroes was the cost exacted by the conflagration. Early Tuesday morning, at 1 o'clock according to fire department records, Washington firemen together with Alexandria fire companies, attended a fire in "Hell's Bottom" near the junction of the Alexandria turnpike and Columbia pike. Twelve houses were consumed before this blaze was brought under control. With the exception of a company from Potomac, no Arlington County company attended this fire. Another fire broke out in the same neighborhood at 10 a.m., and again one at 1:30 p.m., on the same day. To these fire companies from most of the county towns responded. During the latter blaze, Mrs. Ethel Collins was burned to death in the house of Henry Harris. Captain John Myers and Sergeant Charles Weitzer of engine Company No. 10 of Washington, carried her through a wall of flame to no avail. Twenty-five houses in all were burned with a loss of about $10,000, and Fire Chief A. B. Eaton is busy trying to find answers to the charge that he whitfully failed to respond to a fire that occurred in his jurisdiction while companies from Washington were able to go there and fight the flames. The fact that the three blazes were apparently of, incendiary origin, and are claimed by some to have been the outgrowth of a bootlegger's feud, gives a peculiar tinge to the matter. That all who sustained the loss of their homes were Negroes, gives further food for thought. Organizations Protest to President Organizations Protest to President The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have registered protests to the President against the amendment to the Bathing Beach bill passed this week and waiting the President's signature to become a law that injects racial legislation into a law. The letter from the Civic Centers states in part that: "This organization, 'The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia,' anticipating that an endeavor would be made to interject racial legislation in the Nation's Capitol in connection with the Zihlman Bathing Beach Bill, sent the following letter to several members of Congress: "To the House Committee of the District of Columbia: 'Honorable Gentlemen: "The Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia view with alarm the persistent attempt to segregate Colored citizens in the Nation's Capitol. "Therefore, we urgently request that the words 'white' and 'colored, or any word or words suggesting or permitting segregation, be stricken from the bill now under consideration which provides for the erection of bathing beaches in the District of Columbia." The letter from the N.A.A.C.P. is couched in similar terms. What consideration will be accorded these prayers to the executive to safeguard the citizenship rights of the Negro has not yet been learned. PHARMACY STUDENTS PASS DISTRICT BOARD The Washington College of Pharmacy announces to the public that the following members of its senior class, Archibald T. Robinson, 1010 S Street, Northwest; Phillip E. Jones, 719 Harvard, Street, Northwest, and Blanchard K. Ellis, 912 Westminster Street, Northwest, have passed the District Pharmacy Board this month. All were born in this city and are products of its public school system. W. H. Jackson, is secretary-treasurer of the school, and A. T. Pride, Phar. D. is the Dean. WASHINGTON, D. C.

BEACH BILL PASSED WITH COLOR LINE The bill providing for the establishment of separate bathing beaches or pools for white, and colored persons in the District of Columbia, which was introduced by Representative Frederick N. Zhliman, Republic of Maryland, was passed by the Senate last Thursday. At the instance of Senator Lee S. Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina, Senator Royal S. Copeland offered an amendment which will restrict the use of one of these beaches or pools to white persons and the other to colored persons. The amendment was agreed to and the bill was passed. The bill as it passed the House provided for the establishment of two artificial bathing beaches or pools at a total cost not to exceed $345,000. There was no language in the bill requiring that the pools would be used by white persons and the other by colored persons. It was planned to let the commissioners of the District of Columbia provide for the separation of the races in the use of the pools. Senator Overman objected to this arrangement, and in order to have the bill passed Senator Copeland offered the amendment which was agreed to. The bill goes back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendment. After the House approves the Senate amendment, it will then go to the President for his signature. After the bill becomes law, the money necessary for the construction of the separate bathing beaches must be appropriated. The bill simply authorizes the appropriation of the sum of $345,000 for the construction of the two bathing beaches or pools, one for the white people with a capacity of 1,000 bathers. The capital sweltered last summer without any public bathing facilities. The bathing beach on the east side of the Tidal Basin, which was used exclusively by white people, was dismantled when an item appropriating the sum of $12,300 for the purification of the waters of the Tidal Basin and the care, maintenance and operation of the bathhouse and bathing beach was stricken from the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Congress did this following protests against the establishment of a bathhouse and beach for colored persons on the west side of the Tidal Basin opposite the white bathing beach. The unexpanded balance of the sum of $50,000 and an appropriation of $25,000 for the construction and maintenance of a bathing beach and bathhouse on the west side of the Tidal Basin was converted into the Treasury. This action of the House has the effect of sending the bill to the President for his signature. The motion to concur was made by Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, Mr. Zihlman stated that he could see no objection to concurring in the Senate amendment, as it had been adopted upon motion of a Senator from the South. KELLY MILLER AND NANNIE PURPUGHS TO SPEAK Dean Kelly Miller and Miss Nannie H Burroughs, will be speakers at a mass meeting of the N.A.A.C.P. in the Lincoln Congregational Church on Sunday afternoon. May 2nd at 3:30. Mrs. Jennie R. McGuire will preside. Two Women Make Remarkable Business Showing Sunday supplements and magazines have on numerous occasions made much of the entering of a society woman into business. War experiences taught many wealthy women the pleasure of active occupation, and the vogue of business enterprises became almost epidemic. Not a tew of them succeeded. Some have become substantial enterprises. An outstanding example of this thing by our own people is the Bingham Shop, opened a year ago by two women of our race, Mrs. Helen Curtis and Mrs. Hazel-Hughes. That these women were serious was doubted by some, even though they presented Washington with the most ornamentally decorated dress and novelty shop ever opened in the northwest section of the city. April 30, is the first birthday of the institution that deserves to stand out as one of the finest shops of its kind in the country without regard to the race of its owners. The fact of the matter is that the white public regards it in that light. This is indicated by the disclosure that 75 per cent of the business of the concern is with white patrons. Another large volume of business comes in the form of mail orders sent by visitors to Washington who first visited the shop as sightseers. Orders followed their return to their native homes. The anniversary is being celebrated with a new summer stock for which she ramsacked the New York market and which has been supplemented with some pillows, statuary and other novelties that Dr. A. L. Curtis, her husband selected for the shop while on his recent trip to Paris. Mrs. Mabel Chisholm and Mrs. Halle Edwards are the local salesladies. The shop has conducted two fashion shows, and for the second time will this year design and make the class day and graduation costumes for Dunbar High School graduation exercises. So successful has the shop become, and so widely known that a duplicate shop has been opened in Detroit where Mrs. Hughes has gone to take charge Mrs. Curtis does the buying in New York market of styles, and so capable has she proven that jobbers and trade capitalists are urging her to complete a chain that will extend to California. She, however, hesitates, at expansion beyond the personal observation of the partners. She has assured herself that in the gown trade, a thoroughly new stock of correct fashion is but one feature of the business of distributing style products; and that personality, careful analysis of a customer's wants, tastes and needs play an important part, hence her declination to permit too wide an expansion until a trained personnel can be acquired. Timgad Shop, especially during this anniversary week, is worthy of a visit, for it represents art, style, utility and business acumen, all directed by women who have demonstrated the genius of their race and sex. WORLD'S CHAMPION LOVER Elmira, N. Y., April 28—(By the Associated Negro Press) Fred Hannah is believed to be the fastest lover in the world. He applied for a marriage license here Monday afternoon. The clerk in examining the records discovered that the young lady Hannah had with him had a husband in prison. He told the prospective bridegroom that the prospective bride would have to get a divorce. Hannah and his girl friend left. Two hours later, he returned. The clerk inquired if the girl had received a divorce so soon. Hannah replied by explaining that he had got another girl. RESOLUTION OFFERED TO INVESTIGATE PULLMAN CO. Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat, of New York, introduced a resolution in the House, Monday, proposing an investigation by the House Committee on labor of wages, hours and conditions of employment of Pullman porters and maids. His resolution also proposes an investigation of the financial history and conditions of the Pullman Company as they affect wages and conditions of employment with a view to preventing exploitation of Pullman porters and maids and their receiving wages commensurate with their services. The Celler resolution would empower the House Committee on labor to swear witnesses and take testimony in the District of Columbia and other parts of the country. The preamble of the resolution declares that the Pullman Company engages primarily in the sale of service, especially that of its porters and maids from which it derives its profits. It sets forth that it is claimed by those engaged in the attempt to unionize Pullman porters that wages are at a miserable level and conditions and hours of employment are such as to menace health and efficiency. The earnings and profits of the Pullman Company are cited. The preamble to the resolution declares that the Pullman Company began business in 1867 with a capitalization of $32,306,000, to which no capital cashization has been added, and the company now claims a capitalization of $135,000,000. The sum total of dividends since its incorporation, the resolution states, amounts to over $269,500,000 and stock dividends of $64,000,000. The gross revenue of the Pullman Company in the last 10 years, the resolution recites, was $90,318,319, of which $83,927,749 was from sleeping car and kindred services, and its net profits were $15,771,976 of which $12,631,103 was from sleeping car and kindred services alone. In a statement, Mr. Celler declared that "Pullman porters have received scand consideration not only from the Pullman Company but from the general public." He said that the Pullman porter "is given little sleep on his long trips and must spend from five to seven hours of preparatory work making and cleaning berths for which he receives no compensation whatsoever. "The average wage," he said, "is $870 without tips. The tips average $20 a month." The Pullman porter, Mr. Celler stated, is given a pension of $18.50 a month when he becomes 70 yeras old, figured on his salary not including tips. "Every attempt made by porters to organize," Mt. Celler declared, "has met with an avalanche of Pullman funds to thwart their efforts. Negro publications have been subsidized; Negro pulpits have been bought; heads of schools in the South have been bribed to propagandize against the underdog Pullman porters and maids. "The American Federation of Labor and the Railway Brotherhood sympathize with the attempts of the Pullman porters to organize. It is well, therefore, that the people and the committee on labor in the House of Representatives know the exact conditions of this wretched industrial race exploitation." PATIENT REMOVED FROM FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL BY BROTHERS AT NIGHT OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. PATIENT REMOVED FREEDMEN'S BY BROTH SOUTHERN AID TELLS SECRET OF SUCCESS The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., reveals in the celebration of Policyholders' Appreciation Week, as noted in its 'ad' on another page in this issue, another one of the reasons why it enjoys high public favor, and is so very successful in its line of endeavor. The reader will note that the officers, board and field staff are planning to celebrate next week, the payment to its policy holders during the winter and early spring, the sum of $200,000. This is by far the largest sum ever paid out for Sickness, Accident and Death Claims by the Society during any similar period. It seems that many of its policyholders and friends, knowing of its great service to its membership during sickness, accident and death, and its great economic uplift to the race in giving employment to hundreds of young women and men, and its fine support of colored banks and other enterprises, and to our professional groups, urged the officers to give the policyholders and public chance to show, in a tangible way, their appreciation of this fine group and organization. During the week beginning Monday, May 3rd, 1926, the offices and agencies will keep open house to the general public; while the agency staff will strive to see which group can make the best score in placing one new policy in each home, and to secure 100 per cent collection on old memberships. A souvenir will be presented each caller to the district offices and agencies during Policyholders' Appreciation Week. The Society's statement, as of December, 1925, carried these evidences of insurance stability and conservation: Gross Income $1,113,781.28; Policy Reserve $275,000.00; Sparplus $464.655.92; Capital paid in $88,080.00, and Total paid policyholders in claims to December 31, 1925, $4,015,655.42. STANDARD LIFE MAKES GREAT PROGRESS The Standard Life Insurance Company, which is an old line legal reserve insurance company, now entering its fifteenth year, has paid to widows and other beneficiaries of policy holders the sum of $1,246,237.28 in death claims since its organization. During the year 1925 the Standard Life paid death claims to beneficiaries of policy holders amounting to $177,799.39. The gross assets of this company are over three million dollars. The home office of the Standard Life Insurance Company occupies two floors of its building in Atlanta, Ga. The other floors are rented to professional and business people. The local office of the company is at 1021 U Street, Northwest, and is in charge of W. T. Bradshaw of St. Louis, Mo., recently appointed manager of District of Columbia and Virginia districts for the Standard Life Insurance Company. He is assisted by Mr. W. J. Wartman, now agency manager for the State of Georgia, who will remain here indefinitely to assist in building an agency force and to render prompt service to policy holders. The Standard Life Insurance Company operates in thirteen states. PUBLIC SCHOOLS EXAMINATION ANNOUNCED has old, including letters to has fullman Negro adized; heads been the un- ridges.

MCKINNEY AT MOTHER'S HOME Medical circles are strongly silent, almost to the point of being regarded as involved in the conspiracy of silence, while social circles are angry with a woman of gossip, much of which is without any substantial foundation, by the latest developments in the case of Dr. Arthur B. McKinnon, prominent and popular physician, whose sudden illness early this month was a shock to his friends and the community in which he has been reared. At or about midnight of April 27, he was removed from Freedmen's Hospital in a manner that may at least be regarded as quite abrupt. Four brothers, with Carl Murray, a private investigator and three men, called at the private room in the hospital that Dr. McKinney had occupied since his admission to the institution, and removed him from the place. The brothers who participated in the removal of the patient were Bradner, Ralph, Walter and James. According to Mrs. Ethel McKinney, the wife, the patient had been quietly sleeping with his wife and brother Walter sitting in the adjoining room, on the night of the 27th, when the others entered, placed the patient upon a stretcher and whisked him away in a hired ambulance. The wife declares she protested to Dr. I. Edward Jones, night physician in charge of the hospital; but that he declared himself to be without authority to interfere. For a time, there was doubt as to where the patient had been taken, but it developed that the brothers had getting upon what Walter declared to have been the recorder of Dr. McKinney, the patient, and his mother, Mrs. Della McKinney, taken him to the residence of his father, Sam McKinney, where his mother could tender him the mother's love she thought his case demanded. This home is but two doors removed from the private residence of Dr. McKinney and his wife at 1519 First Street, Northwest. The home of his parents is 1515 on the same street. The whole case seems to have been invested with secrecy. Inquiry at Freedmen's Hospital, where resident physician, Dr. Lew Brown was interviewed by the Tribune, failed to develop more than that Doctor McKinney was admitted on April 10th, and was discharged at his request on April 27th, at 10:45 p.m. This hour conflicts with that named by Mrs. Ethel McKinney, who was present at the time, though not concurring, and was totally unaware of the intended removal. Further information upon the case was denied. The doctor was taken ill on April 6th, six days after he had bade his wife good bye, in apparently good spirits at Union Station, when she and Mrs. M. M. Harris left the city for a ten-day visit on the island of Bermuda. He felt a bit ill on Tuesday, but with his brother Walter driving his car for him, made his professional calls. That evening he succumbed to what was at first diagnosed as a fractured skull, and on Saturday upon the advice of a group of professional Aquitted of Rape Charge Aquitted of Rape Charge A jury in criminal court No. 2, Justice Wendell P. Stafford presiding, returned a verdict of not guilty last Monday in the case of John Hill, Lawrence Wyche, John H. Bell and Thomas Jackson, who were charged with assault with intent to rape. The two indicted as principals were represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott, while the two indicted as accessories, alding and abetting, were represented by Attorney S. M. McLaurin. Three girl students at the night school at Lovejoy school claimed that they were returning home from school along a railroad track when the four defendants and a fifth youth, who was tried in the juvenile court, were laying in waiting for them. These girls claimed that Lawrence Wyche and John Hill assaulted Mary Andrews an her sister, Alma, while the three other boys aided and abetted in the alleged offense. Under cross examination, the girls admitted that they were acquainted with three of the boys. On the night of the arrest one of the boys told the police that they intended only to frighten the girls. Attorney Scott contended in his argument that the girls not recognizing any of the boys, persecuted, but when they confronted them in the station house they planned to absolve the three boys whom they knew and make scapegoats of the two boys whom they did not know. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. ```markdown ``` PAGE TEN THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, ‘FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1926 HOWARD'S APPROPRIATION ASSURED The House last week agreed to the Smnate amendment to the Interior De- partment appropriations bill appropr- jating $218,000 for Howard Universi- ty. When the Interior Department. ap- propriation, bill was under considera- tion by the House, the Howard: Uni- versity items ‘were stricRen out on points of order by Representative But- Jer-B. Hare, Democtat, of South Car- olina. They were restored in the Sen- ate, and agreed to by House conferees. Representatives Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan; and Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat, of Texas; spoke in behalf of the motion to concur in the Senate amendment. Representa- tives B. G. Lowery, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, and Butler B. Hare spoke in opposition to the motion, which was adopted by a vote of 68 to 22. In the discussion considerable strets was put upon the charges made by the Howard Welfare League, of which Arthur W. Mitchell, of 1232'U Street, Northwest, is president, in the fight to oust_Dr. J. Stanley Durkee as, pres- ident of Howard University. Representative Lowery contended that there is neither need nor extpse for Federal appropriations to Howard University. He quoted a statement from the Howard Welfere’ League, which charged that Howard Univer- sity is in the-hand of a seli-perpetua- ting board of trustees, not respons- ible to. the Government or anybody else, Representative, Hare took the po- sition that if the Congress is going to appropriate money far Howard Un- versity, it ought to know what be- comes of it. He claimed that he had “evidence to show that the trustees a few years ago suspected irregularities. in the expen- diture of these funds for duplication of work and as a result_of their in- vestigation 4 personal classes as pro- fessors, were discharged at a saving of $8,000 per annum.” He had refer- ence to the survey of Dr. J. L. Leon- ard of Columbia University and the dismissals of Professors Alain LeRoy Locke, Alonzo H. Brown, Metz T. P. Lochard and Orlando C. Thornton, who were later voted a year’s pay by the trustee board. = With reference to Emory B. Smith, alumni and field secretary, Mr. Hare said that he understood “that the president of the university appointed a secretary two years ago at a salary ‘of $10,000, whose sole duty apparent- ly was to prepare and publish propa- ganda to promote the selffish and am- Pitious aims of the president.” Mr. Hare claimed further that he had evidence to show “that there is now pending in one of the courts of the District of Columbia ‘a case which the secretary-treasurer of Howard Un- iversity and two of its trustees are charged with illegal methods in the conduct of the business of another corporation in which they were offi- cers.” This is the Allied Finance Cor- poration. He also claimef that he had evi- dence that “men have been carried on the rolls of this institution for a per- jod of 12 months) or longer and have not done one iota of school work, in the meantime. I could show you from further evidence that two deans of this university were compelled to take a forced leave of a year and then three others substituted in their places, and all of them drawing a salary of $3,000 or $3,500 annually and at the same time. “I could go further and tell you that the president fo this institution, while employed, and paid $7,000 a year from the funds that were ap- propriated, has been given in addi- tion to that amount $3,000 in the way of his home, emoluments, and so forth, and at the same time he has been president of another institution draw- ing a salary, being at the same time itor of American Negro Biography, what you might call a Negroes’ Who's who, and he charges from $100 to $300 to every Negro who wants to place a photograph plate of his ‘mug’ in this publication.” Representative Crampton supported the appropriation. He said that “there is not a university or a college anywhere but what has a few alumni ‘who feel they could run it better than the established, authorities.” SUBURBAN GARDENS: FOUR BIG NEW a page 5 SATURDAY.

ASK MR. BYARS IF THE ACT IS A DRAW For bookings, address—231 West 129 Street, NEW YORK C For bookings, address—231 West 129 Street, NEW YORK CITY patronage, and operates with a colored band and show. The show is praised and so is the band; but in its closing paragraphs the paper shows up bias. "The management apparently does not realize nor care that the white patron is openly insulted; that white women are not safe, and that show people in particular seemed to be picked out for insult. Show people originally 'made' this cafe and were spanders; but this is a thing of the past now, as they have been impressed with the knowledge they they are not said. "Although the Plimitation cafe takes a green play for white trade and the performers, the performer is laying himself open to unpleasant publicity and trouble by being in attendance." Just what is regarded as an insult is not made clear and it is reasonable to suppose that in the absence of any specific charges such as Variety does not hesitate to present when it has the facts, it is fair to presume that the paragraph is simply designed to discourage patronage to a place where white superiority(?) is not recognized by providing ringside tables, obliging Negro, patrons to make room for them, and similar practices that prevail in some places in New York City. ANNIVERSARY WEEK AT BROADWAY THEATER A BIG SUCCESS Rufus Byars, manager of the Broadway Theater, presented his patrons with an anniversary week, and as an added attraction presented in appreciation for the sustained patronage with which the public has met his efforts, Lucille Hegamin, "The Cameo Girl," an exclusive recording artist. She was accompanied by Eyril Fullerton the pianist who accompanied her in all of her recording work. The team drew packed houses to every performance. Of course Mr. Byars exploited the expensive artist as a good showman would. The house was beautifully decorated with palms and potted plants, the staff all of whom are colored was featured in a special pamphlet that was liberally distributed. The pictures of James Lee, chief operator; William Monroe and Ralph Robinson, assistant relief operators; Josephine Wyckes, cashier; Gregetta Isbell, concessioner; Jewel Phillips, musical director; Regina Cooper, pianist; S. Manning, publicity director; Bradley Smith, doorman, and John T. Carpenter, assistant manager, appeared on the billing as did that of smiling Rufus himself. Miss Hegamin proved herself to be one of the best possible presentation acts, viewed from either artistic point or as a mere box box office attraction. MOB PUNISHMENT BILL INTRODUCED Representative Victor L. Berger, Socialist, introduced April 16, in the House a bill to punish state and municipal officers who fail to take proper precautions to protect individuals from mob attacks, and also to punish those who participate in such mob attacks. The bill was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The bill introduced by Representative Berger is in some respects similar to the bills introduced by Senator William B. McKinley, of Illinois, in the Senate, and Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, in the House. The Berger bill makes it a felony to participate in any mob or assemblage composed of three or more persons acting in concert, without authority of law, for the purpose of depriving any person of his life, or doing him physical injury, resulting in death of injury to such person. Conviction would carry with it punishment by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years, or by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by both fine and imprisonment. It would also be a felony for any State or municipal officer, charged with the duty or who has the authority and power to protect the life of any individual who may be injured or killed by a mob, having such person in his charge as a prisoner, who fails to neglect to protect an individual from a mob attack, or consures THEGAMIN "MEO GIRL" With BULLERTON Accompanying Pianist O OF THANKS TO G.

Punishment upon conviction would be imprisonment for not less than 2 years nor more than 10 years or by fine of not exceeding $100,000, or both fine and imprisonment. The United States district court, in which a person is injured or killed by a mob, would have jurisdiction to try and punish all persons participating in mob violence, if it appeared to the court that public sentiment was such that the persons accused would not be given a fair trial because of the refusal or neglect of local officials or citizens, to punish such acts.

C., April 29—(By the Associated Negro Press) That Negroes throughout the mid-south west are making rapid and steady progress, was disclosed by C. C. Spaulding and George W. Cox of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, who recently visited the principal cities in that section on an observation tour. Mr. Spaulding, who is president of the North Carolina Mutual Company, chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business A. E. C. O. C. SPAULDING Chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, and president of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company. League, was elected and enthusiastic over the indications of progress observed on this tour and his sentiment was shared by Mr. Cox, who is director of agents of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, and president of the Durham Business League. Conspicuous among the evidence of progress were: The Peoples Finance Corporation, Poro College, and the Y. M. C. A. in St. Louis, the well equipped schools, the beautiful homes, and business enterprises in Oklahoma City, Okla.; the "economic come-back staged by Negroes in Tulsa; the mercantile business conducted by Mr. Elliott, the art studio owned by Mr. Green and the variety of businesses operated by Negroes in Muskogee, and the home office and affiliated enterprises of the Woodmen of Union, under the direction of John L. Webb, in Hot Springs, Arkansas. In each city the visitors were accorded the hospitality of white and colored citizens and so enthusiastic was Mr. Spalding that he has promised to outline the progress of each city at a later date. Programs were staged by various civic groups in the cities visited and Mr. Spaulding urged the business men to "do business on the square and put the Golden Rule into your affairs," and set forth the doctrine upon which the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company is founded—"an institution with a soul and a service." EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS OF PRESBYTERIAN LIFE IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA THE SPLENDID RECORD OF THE FIFTEENTH STREET PREBYTERIAN CHURCH—REV. JOHN F. COOK ITS FIRST PASTOR By John Edgar Smith On November, 21, 1841, in a little frame school house located near the corner of Fourteenth and H Streets, Northwest, the present Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church was organized. The year Frederick Douglass made his first speech and started on his great career, Presbyterianism, among men of color in this city had its beginning. The church was formerly received into Presbytery, May 3, 1842. This organization of a church in a school house is indicative of the close relationship existing between the two, even in those early days. Special literary training, coupled with Christian piety, is the first essential required of the Presbyterian minister today. Of the 19 charter members, 18 were Presbyterians when they enrolled in this new organization. Thus it may be seen that then, as now, the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church made no attempt to weaken other churches by drawing upon their membership. Rev. John F. Cook was the first pastor of the church; David Carroll, elder; and Charles Bruce, Alfred Cook, David Caroll, Clement Talbert, and William Prator, trustees. Rev. Mr. Cook too, served the church, until his death, 13 years later. During his ministry the membership increased to 120, among them being many of Washington's most influential citizens of color. Membership Increases In 1857 Rev. William T. Catts, of Philadelphia, accepted the call. During his pastorate nearly a hundred persons joined the church. After his resignation, Rev. Hiram Revels, of Baltimore, afterwards United States Senator from Mississippi, was elected pastor, but declined. An invitation was then extended to Rev, Benjamin T. Tanner, of Pittsburgh, to supply the pulpit, and so satisfactorily did he do so that on February 28, 1861, he was, by an almost unanimous vote, elected pastor. Rev Mr. Tanner was subsequently elected a bishop in the A. M. E. Church. Rev William B. Evans served as stated supply from November, 1863, until March 1864, when Rev Henry Highland Garnet, of New York City, was unanimously elected pastor. During his pastorate here, upon invitation, he delivered a sermon in the House of Representatives. Following Rev. Mr. Garnet, Rev B. Reeve, of Philadelphia, was unanimously elected pastor, on April 13, 1867, he declined. Rev J. H. Muse was then employed as stated supply for six months, following which, on February 26, 1868, Rev Henry Highland Garnet was again elected. He declined, and Rev J. Sella Martin, was THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1926 chosen in his place. Chaplain of Senate Next came Dr. Sepimus Questin, once chaplain of the United States Senate; Rev. J. B. Reeve, dean of the Theological Department of Howard University; Rev. George Van Deurs, and Rev. John Brown, a Scotchman. The connection of Rev. F. J. Grimke, D.D., with the church began in 1877, while he was yet a student of Princeton Theological Seminary. In 1878, before his graduation, a call was extended him which was accepted, and save for three years—1885-1888, spent in Florida in search of health, he has continued as pastor until the present time. By an amicable arrangement, the burden of the work now rests upon Rev. H. B. Taylor, D.D., his assistant, a classical and theological graduate of Johnson C. Smith University (formerly Biddle) of Charlotte, N.C., who is rendering very acceptable service. Dr. Taylor began this active pasorate of the church in June, 1925. The church building at the corner of Fifteenth and R Streets, Northwest, is valued at approximately $75,000 and is free of debt. In addition, the church owns its own manse which it bought for cash last year.

FROE TO STAY AS RECORDER The President has no intention of removingig Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and appointing in his stead one of the several men whose names have been presented to him, it was learned at the White House on Saturday. Those who have been urged for the position being filled by Mr. Froe included Warner T. McGuinn, of Baltimore; who was supported by Representative John Philip Hill, Republican, of Maryland; R. A. Williams, of Chicago, supported by Senator William B. McKinley; Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind., supported by Senator James E. Watson, Republican, of Indiana; and Charles Colburn, of Wilmington, supported by Senator T. Coleman duPont, Republican of Delaware. Mr. Froe, it was said, has made a very fine recorder and has won the respect of all those who have had Under the new law, which has been instrumental in securing the passage through this session of Congress of a bill to build an iron-proof building for the recorder of deeds' office, which is now housed in cramped quarters in a non-fire-proof rented building. This is but one of his accomplishments since his appointment February 2, 1922. The term of office of Mr. Froe is indefinite. He serves at the pleasure of the President, and as yet there has been on logical reason given President Coolidge why Mr. Froe should not be continued. Under the new law, whic has been signed by the President, Mr. Froe will r reorganize the office of the recorder of deeds and will allocate the employees of his office on a salary basis instead of a fee basis, upon PAGE THREE which the office is now being operated. Mr. Froe is a leading Republican of West Virginia and brought out the full colored vote to the polls in 1924 when that state gave President Coilidge over 31,000 majority over John W. Davis, who formerly lived in West Virginia. The White House said that there is no complaint against him.

Advertising B THE BATHING POOL BILL { “Both Senate and House have passed athe bill to provide bathing beaches or rather artificial pools for bathing, Mor the District of Columbia. The Yhill as finally passed carries an a- amendment specifically segregating the ‘races, and actually stating the fact dy naming the two races. This is the Afirst time sinee tho organization of the our colored reviments in the U. S. Army that American citizens have been segregated by national law. While it is a shame that a dozen millions of citizens should thus be set aside by federal law, it is the natural qesult of the activitives of s6-called Negro leaders, These gentry have slways counscliei separate political sommittees, commissions and _pro- grams, in order that thoy might be able to find places of brief authority and temporary importance having also an eye to the emoluments, ‘They have obligated themselves and Pheir race to accept- consideration in such terms, so long, that it is now easy for those in power to boldly ‘affront the ¢roup with full knowledge ‘that the Negro leaders who have voice ‘at court have been silenced ere this. ‘The caste system is growing fast. ‘We have been complacently accepting separation where petty political jobs qwere provided for a few, and avidly ‘grying for mote such jobs, until we Mave reached the stage where these separations are bemg riveted upon aus by national law, rather than by amore or less fleeting regulation and scustom. However, so far as the bathing poo is concerned, no matter where the one “for colored” is located, there will b mo excuse for anyorie using it, A ‘wompany of capitalists is construct ‘ing one which will be easily accessibl ‘%o all who wish to enjoy aquatics cwhich will be open to all. who apply “There will be a minor charge © seourse, but it will probably be little i emmy more than the charges at th ‘the government owned “jim crow’ pool.

So go to the stores that, with slight variation in detail, come to a newspa- per office. Each complainant wants the Tribune to promptly get busy und tear the hide off of the offending merchant, or at least to raise a howl. And in each instance, it is impracti- euble for this or any other paper to rectify the evil that these people call upon their own heads. “The very people who kick, gener- ally proudly boast that they have ‘accounts of long standing at the stores of which they complain. They re- Yext the suggestion that they should decline tq patronize stores that indi- cate with a paucity of serviee thal their patronage is not esteemed. They also resent the “suggestion Bhat they confine their spending, in PATIENT REMOVED FROM FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL es ae ake tee einen ‘Hospital where better service woul ‘available. Dr. Lane was the attending surgeon, ‘Though Dr. Ferdinand R. Whitby was walled into the case as a nerve special- st. The public interest became aroused swith this announcement, due largely 4o the fact that the doctors interested declined to make publie any diagnosis wf the case or to name the malady swith which the popular physician was suffering. “After consulfgtions with several em- Gnent surgeons, including Drs. Wim..A. Jack, A. M. Curtis, Simeon Carson, and Acker, it was determined that a iblood clot on the brain was responsible dor a paralyzed condition of the body mind a nervous condition that at in-| Yervals brought on temporary mental derangement. ‘These facts however were kept from public knowiedge, and gossip, feeding ms it always docs upon a lack of de- White information, created mafly ra- Seers, some quite false and others ap- Preximatin undisclosed truth. _ Mrs. McKinney, during these first “ays of her husband's illness, was in- termed of his condition by several ca- Mies to Bermuda, and though she is wredited with having made great ef- so far as is possible, to merchants who broadly declare the Negro pa- tronage is wanted by advertising in the publications of the race. Merchants respond to the withhold- ing of MONEY, and to nothing else. So long as they ean enjoy the prof- its from Negro patronage without according colored patrons adequate service, just that long will they con- tinue to get the money of these Ne- groes with the least possible effort to serve them decently, When, oh, when, will coloréd people get the handkerchiefs off of their heads and eyes, at least enough to see the power that a dollar well spent represents. TOMS Some good seems to have - grown out of the agitation through the news- papers against the plan of segregat- ing Negro delegates from all others at the sessions of the International Sunday School Convention held last week in Birmingham, Alabama. Only six Negroes were in attendance at the annual convention at which ap- proximately four ‘hundred Negroes have usually been present. ‘The six who were present were: D. F. Oden, Detroit, Mich.; W. E. Tinker, Pittsburgh, Pa., formerly of Birming- ham; Eli Williams, student at Ed- wards, Miss; P. H. Moss, secretary religious work, Kansas City, Kan.; Rey. M. C. Glover, pastor McCombs Chapel, Pratt City, Ala. and James ‘Toles, Edwards, Miss, | ‘Their names are given that those who read may know just who it was he lacked the self ‘respect that should be expected of any man. ‘The whole program was visibly af. fected by the absenice of the Negrc delegates, and almost every. speaker enteaseictethewn to the race ques tion. Dr. Wm. C. Poole of London England, reprimanded the body fo its attitude toward the Negro in ar address on “Brotherhood.” He i quoted as saying: “We hear a lot about the superior ity of this raee and that race. F of ten say to myself, and I mean it ‘If there are to be only Anglo-Sax ons in heaven, I do not want to be there.’ If we once accept the father: hood of God, we must’ have member: lof every nation, race and kindred a our brothers, Unless Christians ar glad to be brother to everyone’ of th nearly two billion people on this planet, they are crucifying Chris anew and putting Him to an oper shame.” 2 The race is to be congratulatec upon the fact that our religious work ers in this instance, set sueK a fin example of moral courage and back bone; ; This week a Navajo Indian was lynched. in. New Mexico. Now ‘isn't that a shame?

Since then she had te- mained almost constantly at his bed- side until his abrupt removal on Tues- day night, Since then, saved for “Wednesday evening when she visited her husband at the home of his mother, she has been confined to her bed under the care of Dr. J. W. Mitchell, her uncle. ‘Thursday, she called to ask concerning her husband by phone from her bed. Mrs. McKinney, the mother, declares that despite the appearences of a fam- ily rupture, that “the wife has free access at all times to her husband, and that he was brought home so that mother’s love and attention might sup- plement the abilities of the surgeons.” In an interview with the wife, Mrs. Ethel McKinney, the latter stated that she had considered suggestions that the doctor be brought home, but .the physicians had advised otherwise, and she had agreed with them. ‘That there was any discord between her and the doctor was “pooh paghed” as nonsensical, though she admitted that-she and his family were not in accord a# to the progress of the care, a fact that is borne out by the retire- ment of the former physicians from the case, and the restoration of Dr. Jack, a white surgeon of 2250 Cathe- iral Avenue, to the handling and the ‘etirement of Dr. Whitby and his col- eagnes from any connection whatever vithsDr. McKinney's case.

That occurred “some days ago. He is reported to have Seat ee eat i Oa charge, with whom Dr. Jacl to have disagreed. ‘The brothers admit that the removal bordered upon the verge of kidnap- ping, and are quite willing to accept oy responsibility for their: actions, feeling satisfied that they have acted for the best interest of the patient. ‘The wife feels equally ‘certain that it would have been best without any such disturbing occurrence, The phy- sicians who first had the case are re- ticent. In fact Dr, Whitby is quite emphatic in his refusal to make any statements whatsoever. Those now in charge could not be reached by Tri- bune reporters before the paper went to press.

I go there every Friday and read and aiso make selections of books to take home. The stories that I have réad and which I like best were: The Arabian Nights; The Last of the Mohicans; A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett; Hans Brinker; The Sand- man’s Forest; Heidi; At the Back of the North Wind; Robin Hood; The Three Musketeers; Just So Stories; Gulliver's Travels; Alice in Wonder- land; Tales from Shakespeare; Boys and Girls of Bookland; Snythergen; and The Starlight Wonder Book. “I know that these are my favorite books because I did not begin: read- ing books until you told me about books and the library in our page, so when I began reading I also kept a list of the books I have read and 1 drew a line under the books that 1 really enjoy reading. I would appreciate the names of more books, also I would like to sec etters from other Tribunites telling about what books they like best.

ABBIE MITCHELL MARRIED IN NEW YORK Abbie Mitchell, prima dona, who sang in Washington two weeks ago, and who has been a leading figure on stage and platform for 27 years, many of which were spent as the wife of Will Marion Cook from whom she is divorced, was married at the City Hall in New York to Leslie Tompkins, a nineteen-year old student at Columbia University. Miss Mitchell who is the mother of a son and daughter, and the grandmother of a lusty five-year-old child, gave her age as 42 years on the license application.

NORMAN HILL, the well known BARBER who has been out of the city for a year is back and is at the old stand at 1320 U Street, N.W. --- Things are looking up for the Deacons in New England, according to a letter from vice-president George Pickett who is in charge of that territory. A new Corner is being set up in Waterbury; and the Past Potentate Pinn of Boston is busily engaged in assembling a group of a dozen Masonic dignitaries to receive the Deacons degree when a new corner, already designated as number 40 has been initiated. Transportation director Sandy Trice is issuing certificates of travel to whomever shall request them through proper channels. Deacons not at home, will apply through their nearest Knight Templar of Shine Temple secretary. Any group will be glad to have you join them in travelling to Boston. Performers who expect to attend the Boston convention will please inform the national secretary care of the Tribune office, as there will be work for them to do there. Washington, D. C. Corner held a session in the office of the National Trustee J. Finley. Wilson. Watch Washington Deacons from now on.

Sam Gray is the singing feature of the concert, and Kike and Marion Gresham are featured character people. Alonzo Moore, good old novelty artist is doing his magic stuff to the delight of the patrons. A new choreist, Guscelia Washington joined the troupe at Albany, Ga. WYCKS MADE GENERAL MANAGER OF S. H.

He left the city Tuesday of this week for a five-day rest at Atlantic City, and prior to leaving informed the Tribune that Lloyd D. Wyckes who for several years past has been assistant general manager of the Dudley enterprises has been named as general manager. In fact he has been filling the post for some weeks that has now been made permanent. Duval Johnson, who has been Mr. Dudley's personal attendant and travelling companion for some years; and who though quiet, has demonstrated a remarkable efficiency together with an excellent knowledge of show conditions, is now the manager of the Mid-City Theatre.

MORRIS Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1926", starring Florence Mills, and now in its fourth-weeks' at Keith's Alhambra Theater in Harlem, has been booked for an eight-weeks' run at the Ambas- sador Theatre, Paris, opening there May 28. The contract, which calls for an option for an additional two months' time, was closed through the William Morris Agency. Leslie will receive a flat guarantee and a percentage of the gross. The colored aggregation will go intact from the Alhambra, sailing on the French liner France on May 15 Included in the personnel will be Miss Mills, her husband, U. S. Thompson; Jones and Jones, Three Eddies, Winni- fred and Kills, Edith Wilson, Leon- ard Harper, Lloyd Mitchell, Alma Smith, Bessie Allison, Johnny Nit, "Shrimp" Jones and the orchestra, as well as Johnny Dunn, the cornet specialist. The show will be under the direction of Walter Hertzburn during the trip abroad and following the Paris run the company will journey to London, where C. B. Cochran proposes to present the show at either Oxford or Palace Theater. Lew Leslie and his wife will make the trip for the opening, his brother Saul remaining behind to look after the Plantation. Ten chorus girls will also be taken as well as the scenic investiture of the show, the latter being suitable for the Paris run, but new equipment will probably be purchased in England. The foreign arrangement eliminates the proposed road tour of the Mills show. It was decided earlier in the engagement to follow the Harlem run with a tour of the road towns to the West Coast. Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore wanted to see the colored star, but the inducements offered at the French capital overshadowed the American ante and the star favored the European trip for the vacation of the voyage. THEATRE PESTS If the performers of the theatre are really anxious to do something worth while, something that will bring them the blessings of thousands—yes, millions—of the theatregoers, they should organize a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Playgoers and place a stamp of disapproval of the following theatre pests: Talkers, coughers, gum chewers, foot tappers, seat kickers, peanut huskers, late comers, program and candy-box rustlers. Those who ask "What did he say?" those who hum the orchestra numbers under their breath; those who read the moving picture titles out loud; those who have "read the book" and point out all the variations; those who repeat the last line of a joke as a prologue to their hearty guffaws. Those who "saw the original company in New York" and insist on making comparisons. Those who have a friend who is a friend of somebody in the cast and persist in talking about it. Those who applaud the entrance of every principal player and the exit of every player in the cast. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. APRIL 30. 1926 News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements SUBURBAN GARDENS ADD FOUR BIG RIDES In addition to new macadam roads, painting, and other improvements being made at Suburban Gardens, it is learned that four new big rides will be added this season. These rides will include a tumble bug, a circular ride with dips and speed; the frolic, the ride that made such a hit last season at Glen Echo; a ferris wheel, and King Tutt's chariots, the two passenger automobile cars on a platform.

Several big open-air acts have been booked for the season, together with many out-of-town musical attractions.

R. Salter, one of the most favorably known high-salaried press representatives in the country, who is known as "Johnnie Jones' hired boy," and the added pressure of Mr. Johnnie Jones himself, the Tribune editors, one of whom has known both gentlemen for many years, visited the Johnnie Jones Exposition at 15th and H Streets, Northeast, and there found an assembly of entertaining enterprises that may be commended to people of any station in life, or of any age. The visit to a score of shows' was a pleasure, for everywhere we met and observed uniform courtesy and absolutely impartial treatment with total freedom from any of the rude characteristics of the casual carnival. Rides there are galore, thrilling ones of every known description, and cute little noses that cannot help but appeal to the children's sense of joy, and the parents' sense of security for their charges. Elephants, monkeys, goats, dogs and ponies, all thoroughly trained are featured in one show. Sir Edw. St. Ra-Died directs this. A real cowboy rodeo with all of the movie thrills by genuine cowboys and girls that feature "Shine" a Negro rider. "Bull-dogger" son of the famed Dave Pickett, is another big show. Their midget show is a wonder; but why talk of them in detail? It's a real show that will give joy for an evening or an afternoon. The big thing is that there is no sort of discrimination on Johnnie Jones' lot.
