COLORED MEMBERS OF SCHOOL BOARD JOIN IN ATTACK ON SUPT. BALLOU FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 5, N. 49 S. H. COLORED MEMBER BOARD JOIN I ON SUPT. ASK HIGHER RATING FOR JUNIOR HIGH TEACHERS At the regular Wednesday meeting of the school board, the three colored members, led by Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, attacked Dr. Frank Ballou, charging him with "creating an unhealthy situation in the school system" and with "breaking down the morale of the personnel in the public schools." Mrs. Coralie Cook and Dr. Hayden Johnson both sustained their comebember of the board in a protest against the failure of the school examiners to certify to a higher rating seven junior high school teachers who have not been accorded ratings merited by them. The subject came up through the presentation of a petition from a group of colored teachers appealing for ratings in accordance with a recent decision of Comptroller General McCarl; but which ratings have been so far withheld. Superintendent Ballou declared that he did not want to be bound by the opinion of McCarl and wanted to be regarded as "acting fair." The matter was referred to the examiners who should have established the ratings involved in 1924. The teachers directly involved are A. R. A. Gillam, A. S. Rucker, J. T. Maloney, M. V. Ruby, G. S. Johnson, Norma E. Boyd and Muriel A. Milton, of the Shaw and Randall junior high schools. Mme. Lelia Walker Married to Doctor James Kennedy Indianapolis, Ind., May 1—A'Lelia, only daughter and heir of the late Madam C. J. Walker, president and owner of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, mistress of Villa Lewaro, today became the bride of Dr. J. A. Kennedy of Chicago, Illinois, at the home of Attorney F. B. Ransom, Rev. H. L. H., officiating. At high noon amid simple surroundings with Mrs. Sari Price Patton attending the bride and but a mere handful of friends present, plighted their troth and embarked upon the sea of matrimony. There was no show of splendor, no flash of ostentation. Dr. Kennedy is a native of Arkansas, was educated at Cotton Plant Academy, Branch Normal College, Walden University and Meharry Medical College. From the latter he received degrees in both pharmacy and medicine. He began the practice of medicine in Chicago in 1917 but soon thereafter began service in the World War where he served as first lieutenant, captain and transport surgeon, earning the Croix de Guerre, March 27, 1919. He is at present a staff member Cook County Medical Society, highly respected citizen and member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY DUD ERS OF SCHOOL IN ATTACK BALLOU BESSIE COLEMAN, AVIATRIX, KILLED IN FALL FROM PLANE Jacksonville, Fla.—Bessie Coleman, aviatrix, was killed while doing a practice flight the day before she was scheduled to make an exhibition flight at the Mid Winter colored fair at a height of about 2,000 feet, with the plane in charge of D. W. Wills who had brought it from Dallas, Texas. She had neglected a strap herself to a seat, and when the plane went into a nose dive at 500 feet, she fell out, and was dead when the body was picked up. Miss Coleman was a Texas girl who had gone to Chicago as a manicurist when she met a Spanish aviator through whose influence she obtained employment in a European aviation school. She came back from Europe with a license, and did indifferent flying at Garden City, New York on the Curtis field, after which she was exploited. She was contracted to make exhibition flights many of which failed to materialize, because she had many differences with various managements. She made more money from advances, promotional dances, lectures, etc. than from actual flyin. The Florida accident was her second. She is survived by a sister, mother and a husband. (Her married name was Glenn). All reside in Chicago where the body was taken for burial.

To the left—Mrs. DESDEMONA BARNETT-DUDLEY, central character in escapades named in bill of particulars. The committee charged with the selection of a president for Howard University met at the office of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt on Pine Street, in New York last Monday afternoon, and after a long session, postponed making a recommendation to the trustees until after another meeting is held at the call of the chairman. This will in all probability take place the latter part of the month. The members of the committee, who are 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. Hammins, Washington, D.C.; and General John H.

According to one of the two members who reside in this city, a gentlemen's agreement was entered into by the committee to the effect that no news would be given out as to the committee's deliberations, lest rumors of an erroneous character might grow from incomplete information. Perry Howard Target for Rep. Busby Perry Howard Target for Rep. Busby One resolution having been reported unfavorably, Representative Jeff Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi, last Thursday, introduced in the House two resolutions calling for a transmittal of reports of investigations in connection with the handling of patronage in his State. One resolution calls upon the Attorney General to transmit the report of two agents of the Department of Justice who made an investigation into charges relating to patronage abuses in Mississippi. The other calls upon the Postmaster General to transmit the report of two postal inspectors who made a similar investigation. This is Mr. Busby's second attempt to have these reports transmitted to the House. A privileged resolution introduced by him on March 9, last, was reported unfavorably by the House Judiciary Committee, to which it was referred. The adverse report declared that three investigations failed to reveal any evidence connecting Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committee for Mississippi "with the charge of abuses in connection with patronage." BISHOP TO SPEAK The Bishop of Edinburgh will address the members and friends of St. Luke's P.E. Church, Sunday evening, at eight o'clock. DIVORCE APPLICATION FILED IN SUPREME COURT, ASKS FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. APPLICATION FI SUPREME CO FOR ABSO Bill of Particulars Most Sensational Ever Filed in D. C. POLICEMAN NAMED AS CO-RESPONDENT Couple Married Less Than Year Complainant Nationally Known Theatrical Man of Wide Business Interests One of the most complete and surprising legal documents ever filed in the courts of the District of Columbia was filed on Wednesday, when Benjamin L. Gaskins and Robert J. Bowler, counsellors for S. H. Dudley, who is perhaps the widest known Negro theatrical man in the country, filed a divorce action for their client. In the bill of complaint, his wife, Desdemona Barnett Dudley, to whom he was married December 2, 1924, is charged with an astounding list of violations of the marriage code. Davis Named as Co-respondant It is alleged in the bill that no less than eight different adulterous actions took place; three in the joint home of the defendant and complainant, the beautiful house at 1219 Sixth Street, Northwest, that cost Mr. Dudley nearly $25,000; two in the Windros Apartments, from where the wife with the co-respondant named in the bill, George Davis, a city policeman, were removed by policemen one night last March; and on two other occasions at an address on Delaware Avenue, Davis is a member of the bicycle squad and is attached to the second precinct. He has figured in print in connection with a killing. The versatility of the errant wife and the alleged paramour is evidenced by the charge that they indulged in their emotional desires at a point near the Soldiers Home, apparently providing an open air performance. According to the allegations the prohibitions and penalties of the Mann White Slave law seem to have been regarded without fear; for a trip to Fredericksburg, Va., is chronicled among the allegations of the bill. Further picturesqueness is added to the complaint by the charge that Mrs. Dudley has, since their differences reached an acute stage, made attempts to demolish the home and its expensive furnishings. As mute evidence of this, the windows of the home are boarded up so as to cover the breakage of the beautifully moulded and especially rounded glass with which these windows were fitted. Vandalism Charged Other acts of vandalism are mentioned. These occurred, according to the charges, at the office of the complainant, where the wife in her pre-marriage days was a clerk, later working up to a general manager, the place she held when the couple were married. Yet other efforts to do damage to the person and character and to the personal possessions of the complainant are stated in the bill to have taken place at the Liberty Hotel, where Mr. Dudley resided for a time after their separation in March; and at his apartment house on U Street, where he took refuge after leaving the hotel. Yet another charge is made that she, with the assistance of the respondent, possessed themselves of a beautiful limousine that Mr. Dudley prizes so highly, and secreted it from him, obliging him to resort to a writ of replevin to recover it. The relations of the wife and the co-respondent, according to the bill, are filled with what might seem like beautiful romance, were the details not so sordid. On occasions, it is said, the policeman-lover was a visitor at the home of the woman, and while there was served food, enjoyed the comforts of the master's quarters even to using his handkerchiefs and --- 8 PAGES ONE SECTION PRICE 5 CENTS ORCE FILED IN COURT, ASKS OLUTE DIVORCE MISS BURROUGHS AND KELLY MILLER TALK FOR THE N. A. A. C. P. Dean Kelly Miller and Miss Namia H. Burroughs addressed a well attended mass meeting last Sunday afternoon in the Lincoln Congregational Church in behalf of the N.A.A.C.P. membership campaign. Miss Burroughs related a harrowing experience with the Jim Crow car laws on a recent trip South and appealed to her hearers to realize that each is a potential lynchee, even in the District of Columbia. Dean Miller, in discussing the growing disregard for law as manifested in the flaunting of the 18th Amendment, treated the subject lightly, saying that if the American people would remember their simple principles of arithmetic they would understand that the 18th Amendment would logically be flaunted. We must remember that 13, 14 and 15 come before 18. Gratifying response was made to the apepal for memberships. The secretary announced that the regular monthly meeting of the branch would be held in the Y.W.C.A. next Wednesday evening. other personal belongings. His very slightest desire is stated to have been law unto the woman who yielded to his whim. Strain of Insanity Relatives of Mrs. Dudley are responsible for the information that a strain of insanity runs in the family and that one of her parents was confined in an institution. What bearing this statement can have on the case is problematical. The actions of "Miss Desy" to use the name by which she was addressed by show people, have always been quite normal, save in the direction indicated; and few would regard her as having any leaning toward insanity. She was known to be able to drive an excellent bargain in booking acts and other attractions. It is rumored also that an apartment for the occupancy of the intruder into the domestic felicity of the Dudleys was furnished with funds and furniture that were Mr. Dudleys. The suit was filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia under Equity No. 45618. In addition to setting forth the right of the complainant to enter suit in the District, a legal formality, adultery, under both prosaic and colorful circumstances are recited: destruction of property, interference with the orderly process of the plaintiff's business by the destruction of records and threats of violence are charged. An absolute divorce is asked; and an order restraining the defendant from interfering with or molesting the plaintiff, his employees or business, is also asked. The Dudley have been married less than two years, the bride having been in the employ of her husband in various capacities for a number of years prior to the wedding. She became a ticket seller at one of his theatres just after leaving school, and step by step moved up to the position of booking and office manager of the Dudley enterprises. Shortly after the marriage, Mr. Dudley purchased the beautiful home at 1219 Sixth Street, Northwest, at a cost of $20,000, and made alterations that cost $7,004, necessitating the buying of the adjoining house so as to provide an assurance of congenial neighbors and at the same time permitting the addition of a breakfast porch that extended over parts of both lots. Dudley Nationally Known Mr. Dudley is a nationally known character in both business and professional circles. He is the last of the famous group of Negro stars that established colored musical comedies in popular favor with the America public. He has been retired from the (Continued on page 4) SOCIETY and Club PAGE TWO SOCI and TRUMPS CLUB HOSTESS TO DANCERS The Trumps Club acted as hostess to a large gathering of dancers, Friday, April 28, at Thomas' City Chel Club.

GUYANDOTTE CLUB COFFEE STRAW HATS Yes our prices are just as low as any other storein town. The Philharmonic Choral Society appeared in its first grand recital on the evening of Wednesday, April 28, at the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Second and D Streets, Southwest. The choral society, though only an infant organization, succeeded in winning the audience as fully as might have been expected of a veteran group of singers. In fact, even the most exacting critics joined with the remainder of the audience to give lavish applause and profuse words of commendation for the program rendered. That such a group of singers were so well trained as was evinced by their well-balanced voices, their excellent attack and release, and their mastery of the more or less difficult numbers, was indeed a worthy tribute to the ability of their musical director, Prof. J. Hillary Taylor. Interpersing the numbers of the choral society were the offerings of the following artists. Mr. Stanley Brooks, the peer of Washington tenors; Mr. Andrew Williams, one of Washington's best banitones; Mrs. Augusta Taylor, an elocutionist of rare ability, and the Philharmonic Quartette, composed of Mrs. Naomi Williams, soprano; Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, contralto; Mr. Isaac Johnson, tenor; and Mr. George O'Brien, bass. The program was as follows: Part one—Invoction by the pastor, Rev. E. B. Watson; a. "Sweet and Low"-J. Barnby, b. "The Lost Chord" —Sullivan-Thunder. The Philharmonic Choral Society, Tenor solo —"A Dream," Bartlett, encore—"By and By," Mr. J. Stanley Brookes; "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" —Old English, The Philharmonic Quartette; Reconfiguration, "Toussaint I Overture"—selected, Mrs. Augusta Taylor; encore "Mirandy's Sin," "Listen to the Lambs"—I. Nathan Dettel, The Philharmonic Choral Society; "From the Garden to the Cross Alone"—L. S. Phillips, Mr. Andrew Williams, baritone. Part two—Recitation “How He Saved St. Michael,” Mrs. Augusta Taylor; Tenor solo—I Hear You Calling Me.” encore—“My Way is Cloudy” Mr. J. Stanley Brooks“Silver Threads Among the Gold”—H. P. Danka, The Philharmonic Quartette“Deep River”—Nero Spiritual, W. A. Fisher—COLORidge Taylor, The Philharmonic Choral Society, “Going Home”—Dvorsak-Fisher, Mr. Andrew Williams, baritone; Lift Every Voice and Sing”—L. R.

The purpose of the day is to honor departed mothers; and to give an emphatic expression of appreciation to those mothers who are still among us. There are legions of both groups. Mother has been and always will be one's closest friend, either in spirit, or in fact. She it is who always remains steadfast when the world doubts. Mother believes in us and encourages us when we need it. Mother alone typifies the fullest application of that love that is based upon giving. She has given all for her child, or children, that could be given. Offtimes she has given her life. Each of us owes our life to a mother who would have given hers for us had she been called upon. Mother is the acme of human affection. Wearing a carnation for one day is no reward for her unselfish career. It but helps derelict memories to restore her with reverence to the place in the minds of all of us that she has earned, but from which many may have permitted her to be crowded out by the multitude of mental activities of our times. Neither carnations or special services will pay our debt to her. These outward things may however indicate our inner love, loyalty and appreciation of the memories of her to whom we were always just HER boy or girl. Fortunate is he, or she, whose mother still lives; for them, let every day be MOTHER'S DAY. GETTING DOWN TO BED ROCK Negro publishers have recently shown a tendency toward getting down to bed rock in the matter of circulation claims, if information from several interested sources is to be accepted. For sometime, in fact since newspaper publishing has become a business worthy of notice in our group, the business has often rested upon the none too firm foundation of loose character, unintelligent administration, modified blackmail and specious claims as to influence and importance. Of late however there has come into the business, as inevitably there had to come, a degree of candor that is dispelling much of the illusion and falsehood that has so long prevailed to the detriment of the Negro and this more worthy publications. Claims of nationwide influence are being replaced with efforts to prove a definite sphere of influence in the community, and wild and promiscuous claims as to circulation are fast giving way to certified statements of the actual number of readers a paper has, as shown by its books. Advertising rates are being quoted on the basis of bona fide service rendered, taking account of the number of people reached and the quality of the market that the readers represent. S. H. DUDLEY SEEKS DIVORCE (Continued from page 1) stage for seven years, though at intervals, in response to the demands of the public and agents, and, perhaps partly on account of his own affection for the stage, he has made little forays into the performing phase for brief periods. Of late years, he has addressed himself to the business end of the theatricals and to more general financial enterprises with great success. Mr. Dudley is a director and one of the three general booking managers of the Theatre Owners Booking Association, the circuit that controls Negro vaudeville in more than a hundred theatres scattered through about twenty states. He had the distinction in the last stockholders meeting of the organization of being the only director to receive the vote of every stockholder, despite the fact that a number of nationalities and types are represented in the body. He is president and general manager of the Dudley Theatrical enterprises that include eleven theatres in the Washington and Tidewater districts. He is the business manager and treasurer of the Colored Actors Union, an organization which he has fostered in the hope of making permanent the success of his race in the show business. He is prominent in insurance circles, being the assistant treasurer and a director of the Federal Life Insurance Company of Washington and is a member of the advisory board of the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago. ```markdown ``` PAGE FOUR Space is being sold on the merit of its market value, and the advertisers are beginning to acquire respect for the Negro newspaper in just such degree as its staff conforms to accepted ethics and better business practices. A CHANCE TO TEACH A LFSSON Washington Negroes provide about one third of the business of the community by volume; and about one fifth of the mercantile patronage, if measured in money value. The difference being due to the lessened average earning capacity of the Negro in Washington. From either phase, it is very evident that the patronage of the Negro citizens of this community is an asset to any mercantile establishment, and one that no merchant can afford to despise, if he would succeed. Yet we have the spectacle of a downtown store with a number of branch establishments declining Negro trade at its most recently opened branch. The new branch is very evidently the show place of the concern; the aristocracy, as it were of the business. In this branch, Negro patronage is not welcome. This is an arrogant and insulting attitude for a business management to take, after fifty years of anxious catering to the very trade that is now regarded as being unworthy of this particular store. Negroes however hold it in their power to break this man. Withhold the patronage that has been granted his establishments by the race, and the loss will make an inroad to his business that will bankrupt all of them, or at least make the maintenance of the aristocratic branch too big a burden for the feeder stores to sustain. We doubt, though, that any such thing will occur. Too many Negroes are proud to state that they have credit at this store; unmindful that personally their credit is nothing. It is their jobs with the government that disciplines "deadbeats" which gives entree to this and other merchant's books. Too many of our educators believe that any white merchant is better than a colored one; and, too many teachers are busy teaching that fallacious principle to our pupils in the schools. Too many like to buy where they think others may not go; and too many others accept the inferior place in community life with alacrity. But every dollar withheld from such a merchant, helps to educate him to fairness. If enough managers of branch stores report lessened business, and a paucity of Negro patronage, he'll wake up with apologies and excuses. A lot of others who like our money will be awakened along with him. Apartment Owner He is very active in real estate and investment circles, serving as treasurer of the United Investment Corporation. His personal reality holdings are large. In addition to the Sixth Street properties, he owns a large apartment house at 1316 U Street, Northwest, one of the early structures of that type to be Negro-owned in the city. He has a farm of about twenty acres at Oxen Hill, Md., opposite Alexandria, Va. where he maintains a home for his mother and where he goes on such occasions as he may require rest or sufficient quiet to enable the writing of a play or song, or the working out of a business project. Here too he often has as guests, fellow performers of other days whose health may require the stimulus of country life for a time. He holds yet other property in Annapolis, Md., and a house on Westminster Street, Northwest, in Washington. In the Midcity Building, which he owns at 1223 Seventh Street, Northwest, is a theatre, his general offices, a hair dressing business, the offices of the Actors Union; and adjoining in another of his buildings he operates a billiard hall, and rents the upper floors to the Actors Rest, a unique hotel for professionals that is operated under the auspices of the Union where credit is unlimited to the performers. There is a sporting side to his character that is amply evidenced by his partnership in the Dudley-Keys stables, owners of ten thoroughbreds that are shipped each season to five race tracks in Maryland, five tracks in Ohio and ten Canadian tracks. Mr. Dudley handles all of the correspondence in connection with the transportation of the horses to these different tracks. Owns Show Musical comedy being his foundation, it is but natural that he should THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1926 MUSIC FORUM BY WELLINGTON ADAMS CHOIRS ARE ASKED TO ORGANIZE Through the courtesy of Rev.

ANOTHER MUSIC SLOGAN FOR * THE SCHOOLS Miss Marie James, temporary music director of the public schools, supplies another music slogan in the interest of "Music Week" as announced have a property of this sort. "Ebony Follies" starring S. H. Dudley, Jr. his son by a former wife, (Alberta Ormes Dudley), is one of the theatrical successes of the year. Mr. Dudley wrote the book and the lyrics; designed the scenery and directed the staging of this production. The show is now on tour, playing this week in Louisville, Ky. It has never played Washington, though there is reason to expect an engagement at a local theatre before the close of the current season. In addition to these activities, theatrical trade papers, every now and then mention a new song number from Mr. Dudley's pen. Service of the summons and complaint was obtained the same evening that the papers were filed. For a time Mrs. Dudley could not be found Mr. Dudley, knowing how fond Mrs. Dudley is of her two pet dogs, took the dogs from the house to his office. When she searched for and finally found the dogs, U. S. marshals who were waiting for her, served the papers. Davis was served the same day.

DAVIS, Mgr. ```markdown ``` WILBUR SWEATMAN PRO: HERE AND THERE If Washington really likes good vaudeville, its treasure in amusement will be amply satisfied with the five acts that Wilbur Sweetman had brought to the Howard Theatre this week. It is a typical big time program of the well selected acts. Marion Drew, a woman juggler who does things with almost anything that lends itself to dexterous handling, opens the bill with some fast manipulations cleverly executed. McGinty and Freeman are next on These two ministers' daughters have a laugh provoking concept in an act in one wherein a southern uncle (an excellent interpretation by Miss McGinty) discovers her niece working in a theatre. Twelve minutes of pure undulterated humor follows "Auntie's run down the aisle to greet the niece. If you have country relative, you will enjoy these girls. Then comes Sweatman and his four boys with two pianos, an organ, bandio an almost inexhaustible stock of reed instruments and trap effects. All of this is set in a beautifully draped interior. Those boys sing dance, and play unusually well. Sweatman himself self doing the seemingly impossible by playing three clarinets at on time. George Cooper and Emmet Anthony is some black face comedy and harmony followed the band. Fire regulations prevented the use of their special drop, but it was not missed. Talent made the audience forget this minor detail. Eddie Conners (Little Sambo) just about the cutest little black boy on the stage today closed the show with a flash act of four dancing girls before a special setting. Milford Smallwood who does more charlestoning on her toes than most other girls do flatfooted, does a lot of artistic toe dancing. "Pal O' Mine" an interesting film completed a corking good vaudeville bill that has the added merit of having been presented by a group of artists who are well regarded ladies and gentlemen with good social and personal connections.

BURIES WIFE OF COLORED PERFORMER The Tribune is in receipt of a letter from James Towel of the team of World and Towel, describing the death and burial of Mrs. Towel at Jamaica, Long Island, while the team was playing the Bowdoin Square Theater, Boston, the week of April 10. Towel says that he was given a letter of introduction to Mr. Henry Chesterfield secretary of the National Vaudeville Artists Inc., and with it, he called at the N. V. A. where he stated his case; and the funeral was provided for without the asking of a single unnecessary question. Very naturally. Towel addressed a letter of thanks to the organization. The reply from Mr. Chesterfield is so informing as to the attitude of the N.V.A., toward the colored performer, and is so emphatic in its declarations that Mr. Towel has forwarded it to BILL MCGLAIN PLAYS CLUB DATE AS 25TH ANNIVERSARY AWAY FROM STAGE BILL MCGLAIN PLAYS CLUB DATE AS 25TH ANNIVERSARY AWAY FROM STAGE Billy McClain, erstwhile partner of Ernest Hogan and some years ago one of the internationally know theatrical stars who quit show business after experiences in England, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, and France to become an athletic director, celebrated his 25th anniversary away from boards last Sunday night by playing a club date at the Mayflower Hotel. Billy has for some years past been caring for the health of a number of prominent officials of a widely known fraternity, and a large number of Congressmen. It was to this group that he played. The presentation was as the aftermath of a dinner to twenty-eight per- the Tribune for reproduction. The letter on the letterhead of the N.V.A., with its clasped hand emblem as its top reads: Mr. James Towel. Dear Sir: I am very glad, indeed that this organization was in a position to give service to you at a time when it was most needed. We have tried to follow the principles of the Master, whose consideration was always for the afflicted. There is no distinction in this organization as to race, creed of color. The writer will be only too happy to put himself at the diosal of the colored race who are members of the theatrical profession, with a view or doing everything possible to help to reach a higher plane in their chosen profession. sons of which he was one. His wife was also a guest. Billy did a reproduction of Harry Lauder's work recalled from the time that he and the famed Scotchman had worked on the same bill in Edinburgh; an imitation of the late Max Lander, pantonine artist with whom Bill had appeared in France; his own "Old Deacon's Sermon" and the "Old-Black Joe goes to war." As a concluding feature he presented an Italian's description of the Jack Johnson-Jeffries fight and an analysis of the Willard-Dempsey fight from an athletic director's viewpoint.

The text of the play was written by Casper Garrett, at present doorman at the 49th Street Theater, and the music and lyrics were composed by Hall Johnson, colored violinist and composer, music teacher in Harlem, who played in the orchestra of "Shuffle Along." Additional lyrics have been written for the piece by Langston Hughes, whose poem, "Weary Blues," was awarded first prize last year in the "Opportunity" Magazine Contest. The leading role, that of the conjure woman, is being rehearsed by Abbie Mitchell, well-known on the musical comedy stage for the past twenty years. Mr. Johnson said the first performance would probably be given about May 31st. "This an attempt to bring before the public truer pictures of Negro rural life than has been seen in the jazz revues," declared Mr. Johnson, in announcing the production. "We shall try to represent the real dancing as it is done on the plantation, buck-and-wing, shake-downs, the ancestors of the Charleston which is now so much in vogue. The dancing will be a feature of the production, although like the music and text it will be subordinate to the picture we shall try to draw of Negro life. "I am making a big feature, too, of the choral singing, in which Negro spirituals and work songs have a prominent place." If the piece "goes over," there is every probability that an engagement in Washington will follow the close of the New York presentation. Republic You Street, n. Show Starts EVEN W. E. L.

PAGE EIGHT MOTHER Conditions MOTHER MOTHER MILITARY TRAINING TO BE A FEATURE AT THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS The military-physical education program arranged this year for the girls and boys of the ninth grade of the junior high schools, Shaw Junior High School, Miss Mineola Kirkland, principal, and the Randall Junior High School, Mr. G. Smith Wormely, principal, includes the foot movements of military training schedule, the military setting up exercises without rifles, the usual work of the physical training department and the military contests. The boys are organized in platoons; there are two platoons at the Shaw School and one at the Randall. The platoons are divided into sections and the sections into squads. Each platoon has a platoon leader, two section leaders, section guides and squad leaders. This year for the first time there will be a junior high school competitive exhibition to drill. The exhibition will be conducted on the Cardozo playground, First and I Streets, Southwest on the afternoon of Thursday, May 20, beginning at one oclock. The boys of the two junior high schools are enthusiastic over this new form of the military-physical training. School spirit is high, hence the competitive exhibition or drill promises to be very spirited and interesting. After the presentation of the platoons to the judges the program will consist of a series of six setting up exercises, ten numbers in the school of the soldier, squad and platoon without arms, and a gymnastic contest. The platoons will then be presented to the judges and marched from the field. A review of the junior high school organization will then be staged after which a pennant will be awarded the winning platoon. MOTHER On this Mother's Day and every other day my thoughts turn to you in affection. THE INDUSTRY OF A BIRD A little bird with fluffy breast Set on one day, to build her nest To make it sturdy, neat, and strong, To stand the winds that come along. She worked and toiled with all her might From dawn of day to dusk of night. She never from her labor shirked But ever strove and daily worked. And while she wove her bits of grass The scorching days did come and pass, And then one peaceful setting sun, The birdie found her task was done And when the sun goes down to rest You'll find yourself with fortune blest. LAWRENCE D. HOWARD (16) MOTHER My thoughts are with you today in love and gratitude for all that you have done for me. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

McDowell County Voters Restive Tiffany Tollive, realtor, theatrical and fraternal man of Roanoke, Va was a visitor in Washington last week and while here talked with the Tribune about conditions in Roanoke and in the West Virginia counties just a few miles west. He declares business conditions to be musually good with our group in the territory adjacent to Roanoke, a fact that he states is verified by the increase in real estate purchases during recent weeks. McDowell County, West Virginia, he declares, is a county that is 40 percent Negro in its voting strength; and this ratio prevails in the whole congressional district of which the county is a part. He says that Leon Miller, Arthur G. Free and attorney Cape-heart with Tom Whitigo, editor of the McDowell Times, have the voting strength of the district well organized; and the Negroes are in no mood to be trifled with. The failure of the President to reappoint Mr. Freo to the position of recorder of deeds is being wacthed with increasing dissatisfaction. Should not some action satisfactory, to this big intelligent vote be forthcoming Mr. Tolliver says that a lot of political scalping is going to be done that will have far reaching effect in national political circles. MT. ZION BAPSTIST CHURCH OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA. TO BE RESTORED Last December, the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Fredericksburg, Va. was destroyed by fire. Since then the congregation pastored by Rev.

A campaign to raise three thousand dollars with which to finance its erection has been started; and a number of Washingtonians, natives of the old town have signified their intention to help, as have several organizations. Several distant churches have tendered a helpful hand to the unfortunate congregation. The church has a membership of 300 with a Sunday School of 75 children. Already they have themselves raised $1800, and they are appealing to friends of religion, and especially to Baptists, to help them obtain the needed $3,000. The congregation promises to place the name of every contributor of a dollar or more on a memorial tablet, and to present organizations with a picture of the corner stone having. They must have the money by June 4th, and William H. Lewis, of 912 A Street, Fredericksburg, will be pleased to receive any contribution.
