ZION CONFERENCE AT GALBRAITH CHURCH; BISHOP CALDWELL PRESIDES ROWDIES AT BALL GAME INJURE TEACHER ROWDIES AT BALL GAME INJURE TEACHER Cato W. Adams, teacher of history and baseball coach at Armstrong Technical High School, suffered concussion of the brain when struck on the head with a baseball bat by an unidentified assailant Monday afternoon on the Dunbar athletic field. He was rushed to Freedmen's hospital, where he regained consciousness after several hours. The assault occurred at the beginning of the third inning between Dunbar High and Randall Junior High teams. The athletic field, bare ground behind the Dunbar school, where building are being torn down for a new stadium site, was surrounded by a large crowd of men and boys, who interfered with the play. They were ordered from the field by Duvall B. Evans, Dunbar coach. Evans was attacked and chased by a mob armed with knives and clubs. He retreated to the Dunbar building and summoned police aid. Adams, about to leave the field, was rushed and assaulted. Baseball equipment of both teams was confiscated by the mob. The situation that developed the injury to Mr. Adams is one that has long been feared by the school authorities; and only last Saturday, the police of Number 2 Station were asked by officials to give surveillance to the play grounds around Armsmtrong school. Rodwies who infest the neighborhood have often appropriated the school grounds and abused pupils, according to Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson. His report of the situation being based upon the observations of Robert Beverly, assistant superintendent of janitors who has made numerous reports of the unsatisfactory condition. For sometime, Armstrong was without playground facilities, and the move to obtain adequate property was only made active after a boy pupil had been killed a few years since while playing in the street. Since then much property surrounding the school has been acquired and while it seems illogical to fence the premises until the entire plot has been acquired, it seems that the only way to safeguard the school and its pupils is to fence such property as has already been taken over for playground purposes. Professor Adams is reported to be resting easily with no prospect of permanent injury, it was learned at the time of this paper going to press. The police have arrested Augustus Brown and James Sprangler, two 17-year-old boys in connection with the matter. The boy alleged to be the principal is still at large.

SENATOR ASSAILS OCCUPANCY OF HAITI Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, last Thursday on the floor of the Senate, attacked the military policy of the United States in Haiti. He introduced a resolution directing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to investigate charges of the Haitian people and to report to the Senate a measure which would permit the establishment of a self-government for the people of the country. "I know it is a waste of time to plead for a weak people," Senator King said. "The American people are interested in making money and in exploiting other people. I condemn the policy we are now following in that country and protest against it with all my soul. "The humblest people in the world are entitled to work-out their own salvation. So long as I am in this Senate I am going to fight for these Haitian people." In his address, Senator King declared the people of Haiti originally made no objection to the intervention of military rule there but they now regret it. "It is a sad commentary," he said, "on American Government. I had rather be a slave than live under a military dictatorship, for slavery is usually a result of such dictatorship." Referring to the recent debate in the Senate over the Italian debt settlement, the Senator from Utah said, "the men in this Senate who have so eloquently denounced the dictatorship in Italy should give a little of their eloquence to the dictatorship we have established in a neighboring island. "When we talk about revolutions in Haiti we must remember that our A- The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1926 Named Moderator of of Congregational Ass'n in B'k'lyn N. Y. Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church in Brooklyn, was last week elected head of the New Association of Congregational Churches, which is made up of the sixty-five churches of that faith in New York City and has a membership of 31,000, only 5,000 of whom are Negroes. Only five churches are Ne- REV. HENRY HUGH PROCTOR. Moderator of the Congregational Church Association of New York. grc. This action took place in St. Mark's Congregational Church in Brooklyn. Dr. Proctor is the first Negro to be so honored by the Congregational Church. When the name of the Rev. Dr. Proctor was splaced before the 400 delegates they unanimously chose him. As the delegates, most of them white men and women, rose to their feet cheering, the doctor was overcome with emotion. His voice trembling, he said: "My race has wiped out nine-tenths of its illiteracy, but it has not yet learned how to hate and in their name I bring you the love thought of a race. This is the greatest honor that has come to me and I have never felt more humble than today. I wish here and now to dedicate myself afresh to the highest and best things for the uplift and for the promotion of that interracial co-operation for which I have ever stood. The interests of the two races are identical, and the very best lesson we can learn is how better to love each other." For twenty-five years Dr. Proctor served as minister in the First Congregational Church of Atlanta, and during the war was commissioned by General Pershing to serve in France as pastor for the Negro troops with the American Expeditionary Forces. The grand jury Monday returned an indictment charging Petronius Don Henderson with murder in the second degree in connection with the death of Matilda Beatrice Jackson, whom he fatally stabbed on the night of March 25. One count in the indictment charges that he used a knife. The other count charges that he used a sharp instrument, a more particularl description of it being unknown to the grand jurors. At the time of his arrest, Henderson told police officers that he stabbed the girl with a finger nail file. At the inquest, however, he admitted he had used a knife which the officers found at the scene of the crime with blood on it. According to the testimony, he and the Jackson girl lived together as man and wife. One the night of the fatal stabbing, the girl went to a party, leaving Henderson home in bed. He got up and dressed. Before her return, he went into the streets and returned three times. As he started out again, he met her at the door and they quarrelled about where she had been. When she refused to take him to the place where the party was, he stabbed her. The stabbing occurred at 929 French Street, Northwest, where the couple roomed. ENTERTAIN VETERANS The service men who are patients in St. Elizabeth's hospital were entertained last Monday night by a group assembled in the Red Cross building through the efforts of Dr. W. H. Jones of Howard University and Lelia L. Thomas, a welfare worker in the war department. The Washington Country Club of which Emmett J. Scott is president, and Victor R. Daly, secretary, has purchased a 23-acre tract at Muirkirk, Md., fifteen miles from Washington on the boulevard leading to Baltimore. The property includes a nineteen-room house, fruit trees, and a tennis court. A nine-hole golf course will be constructed. James A. Cobb is chairman of the board of directors that includes a number of Baltimore and Washington men of prominence. M. M. Harris is chairman of the house committee and assisted in making the purchase. On Memorial Day, May 31, a barbecue will be served to a number of guests so as to afford prospective members an opportunity to inspect the premises. BATHING POOL A WHO WILL BE MUCH DISCUSSED PRESIDENT OF MATTER HOWARD? On May 27, the National Commission of Fine Arts will meet and among other matters, the body will pass upon the recommendations for locations for the two bathing pools recently authorized by Congress. The location for the pool for white people seems to be pretty well assured, while that intended for the use of Negroes remains in doubt. The Barry Farms district of Anacostia has advanced the project that the site in Section C, Anacostia, be utilized. This proposed location is meeting opposition from several sources. White residents of the Anacostia district, especially those in Section D, are opposing it vigorously. Dr. George C. Havenner, a member of the semi-official Citizens Advisory Committee, seems to be heading this opposition, and in his efforts he is being supported by Council 16 of the Junior Order of American Mechanics and the white citizens of the section in general. According to Elzie Hoffman, president of the Barry Farms Citizens Association, the action of Havenner is somewhat of a surprise, as he has long protested great friendship for the colored citizenship of the territory affected. He does not practice his profession of medicine but is credited with realty interests that he is trying to enhance. He is a graduate of Howard University of the period when many white students were enrolled in the professional schools of the university. A number of Negro organizations protest against the location because of the difficulty that most Negro residents would encounter in reaching the place, which is in Ward Eleven and which in spite of its seven mile length has but 11,762 Negro residents. Many protests were based upon the single street car line that serves the territory. This objection has been met with a statement from Engineer G. R. Klotz of the Traction Company to the effect that ample cars would be provided. The National Association for the Advancement fo Colored People couples a threat of punishment at the polls for the parties responsible for the segregated pool, with a strong protest against the Anacostia location. Local officials of the organization are insisting that the pool be placed in a more accessible spot. To this the Anacostia proponents retort that the pool may become the center of a complete park that would be virtually dominated by colored patronage. This they have insisted for several years would provide parks much needed for organization picnics. They aver that street car transportation is of minor consequence since almost everybody rides in his own auto. George Richardson, president of a Northeast organization has protested to Major Grant in the name of that organization against the location. Local Negro citizens of the class who have influence with appreciable groups of people are almost unanimous against the segregated pool no matter what the location. Miss Nannie Burroughs, head of the National Wage Earners Association and prominent as civic worker, states: "When I heard the bill was signed, I purchased a bath tub for my room so as to have no temptation to ever consider the thing." Reinzi Lemus, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, a group with whom cleanliness is a fetish, and whose membership enjoys whole days of leisure between their tiring runs, says: "My membership and their president will go to Coltons when we want an outdoor bath rather than use the pool, wherever placed." Professor Carter G. Woodson of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History tersely responded to an inquiry for his opinion as to a location with "I would rather bathe in H—." Garnet Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools simply told the Tribune that, "I am not interested," and nothing more could be obtained from him on the matter Speculation as to who will be the next president of Howard University is ripe. More than fifty names have been submitted to the committee of trustees charged with making the recommendation to the full board, a charge that is almost tantamount to selection. No less than 32 names have been given serious consideration by this committee at a recent New York meeting. After that session, though no information was given out to the public, it became pretty definitely known that most of the candidates had been eliminated. Less than a dozen were given serious consideration. Last week, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was in Washington, and his presence here gave rise to a number of rumors. In interested circles the statement is made with more or less assurance that Emmett J. Scott, present secretary-treasurer and business manager of Howard University is very likely to be the successor to President Durkee when that gentleman steps down at the close of the school year to assume the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church in Brooklyn, New York. In an interview with Mr. Scott, he told the Tribune, "The matter is too serious to be treated factiously. Colonel Roosevelt's visit to Washington was with reference to legislative matters and he did not see me while here. He did, however, see two others who were admitted candidates. Members of the board of trustees know definitely my personal attitude in the matter and are not giving any consideration to my name." It is known that many of the trustees feel that Dr. Scott is admirably qualified for the duties of president of Howard though it has been claimed that Dr. Scott is said to have a preference for retaining his present position. There is a mass of detail work connected with the office of secretary-treasury and business manager that very naturally has served to make Dr. Scott quite familiar with the affairs of the school. It is generally conceded that if appointed president Dr. Scott would in all probabilities have less difficulties with the alumni than has prevailed. He has a wide acquaintanceship with persons prominent in education circles, especially with those connected with the General Educational Board; and it is known that no objections have been voiced against him from sources that have made the going difficult for other candidates who have been mentioned. Charles Wesley is being advocated for the presidency by a group of alumni and faculty who desire a minister and a younger man than has heretofore occupied the executive chair. In some circles, it is intimated that Dr. Scott would not be averse to this candidacy, and that the alumni heartily indorses this candidacy. Dr. Wesley received his Ph.D. from Harvard last year. He is of the A. M. E. Church persuasion. Community Centre Band in Iowa Circle To-night James E.

DENIES CHARGES IN ANSWER AND APPLIES FOR DIVORCE CHARGING CRUELTY OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. Divorce DENIES CHARGE AND APPLIES CHARGING CHISUM AGAIN DINNER HOST Melvin Chisum, field secretary of the Negro Press Association, and press representative extraordinary who for the past few weeks seems to have preferred Baltimore as a headquarters to the former Washington center, came to Washington Wednesday and staged another of his famous dinners. This time, Major Robert Russa Moton, head of Tuskegee, was the guest of honor. While no news as to the purpose of the gathering has been made public, the affair took on a rather distinctly Tuskegee aspect. The party was served at the Liberty Hotel. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, a former Tuskegee executive; Albion L. Holsey, successor to Mr. Scott as secretary; Nathaniel Hunt, secretary to Mr. Moton; P. B. Young, publisher of the Norfolk Journal and Guide; Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds; Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, and James A. Cobb, whose appointment as Municipal Judge awaits confirmation, were the guests. Except for the Washington group, the guests motored from Baltimore and returned to the Oriole city after the dinner. AN INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE ORGANIZED AN INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE ORGANIZED Fight Started on Butler in Senatorial Campaign The National Independent Political League with headquarters at 1232 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., has recently been organized by some of the outstanding colored men of the city of Washington. The purpose of the league is to aid worthy men seeking office regardless of their political affiliations and associations. The officers elected are: Arthur W. Mitchell, president; George A. Parker, vice president; Thomas H. R. Clarke, corresponding secretary; Charles H. Hemans, recording secretary; Harry O. Atwood, treasurer. The league, after having arranged to send speakers into Massachusetts to oppose Senator Butler, administration leader in the Senate, passed the following resolution: "In as much as the high type of statesmanship of former Senator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts has been well proved by his official statements and acts, both as governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Senator of the U. S. A., and since his record treating all American Citizens as Americans, without regard to race or creed, the National Independent Political League unqualifiedly endorses his candidacy for U. S. Senator from Massachusetts as against that of Wm. M. Butler, present incumbent and leader of the administration forces in the U. S. Senate, who has shown no semblance of statesmanship, but is content to play politics." CARTER WOODSON MAKES SERIES OF SPEECHES Carter G. Woodson, active proponent of the Negro history movement has been quite busy making speeches in an effort to arouse the interest of educators in the movement; and, he has been meeting with great success. Last Saturday, he spoke before the State Association of Colored School teachers of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia. On Monday he addressed the teachers and students at Cheney Training School near Philadelphia. On Monday, he appeared before the Ministers' Alliance of the District of Columbia; and on Tuesday he went to Baltimore to address the colored teachers of that city at the Douglass High School. 8 PAGES ONE SECTION e Bill ES IN ANSWER FOR DIVORCE CRUELTY Declares Dudley to be Worth Quarter Million Dollars Former Wife Asks Divorce from Husband in Chicago Courts Mrs. Dudley has filed her answer and cross-bill to the suit instituted against her by her husband, the theatrical magnate, through attorneys Raymond Neudecker and Bertrand Emerson, Jr., who will handle the case for her and police officer George Davis who was named as correspondant in the bill of particulars filed by Mr. Dudley. In her answer, Mrs. Desdemona Dudley denies the charges of adultery contained in the husband's bill; and files a cross bill in which she asks for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty, drunkenness and desertion. She asks reasonable alimony, suit money and counsel fees. She categorically denies the charges of threats to do damage to Mr. S. H. Dudley's person and properly made against her; and she denies taking his automobile and sequestering it, stating that she had taken it for a day's ride in spite of his instructions to his chauffeur to deny her the use of the car. In the cross-bill, Mr. Dudley is charged with an ungovernable temper, the use of profane and unprintable language, and frequent use of personal violence against his wife. Charges that he menaced her with a revolver on several occasions; that he threw her down a set of stone steps; that he denied her any revenue from a house owned by her, and that he appropriated to his use her Christ-mas savings fund of $500, are made in the unusually voluminous document. Several vicious assaults are alleged. It is recited that a charge against him is pending in the police branch of the District court for an assault that occurred on the night of March 18th. She alleges that Mr. Dudley is a wealthy man, owning according to the figures submitted in her cross bill, stocks, real estate and other property, to the value of very much more than $200,000 from which he enjoys an income together with his different drawing accounts and salaries of nearly $2500 per month. The family lived in comfort and opulence with a marketing budget of $50 per week, and with other household expenses of approximately $150 per week; and it is upon this basis that the cross-complainant seeks alimony, though no specific sum is asked for. "Reasonable amount," is what the cross-complainant asks over the signature of Mrs. Dudley, who declares herself to be penniless, and "ill and distressed" by virtue of the frequent assaults and inhuman treatment accorded her by Mr. Dudley during their married life, the first assault having occurred, according to her allegations, on December 5, 1924, just three days after their marriage. She charges that Dudley spends a hundred dollars per week for whiskey for personal consumption and the entertainment of friends. In his petition, filed May 5, Mr. Dudley charges his wife with ten different acts of adultery. The case promises to be a battle of legal wits. Benjamin L. Gaskins and Robert J. Bowler are attorneys for Mr. Dudley. Mrs. Dudley's attorneys of record are also widely known counsellors. Mr. Neudecker being Assistant United States District Attorney and Captain Emerson being recently resigned therefrom. It is quite a coincidence that Mrs. Alberta Ormes Moberly, former wife of S. H. Dudley who resides in Chicago, is reported to have filed an application before the courts of Cook County, Ill., for a divorce from her third husband. She is the mother, of S. H. Dudley, Jr., now starring in "Ebony Follies," a show the owner-ship of which is largely in his father's name. Essie Whitman of the Whitman sisters, is named as co-respondent in this action. The hearing on the motion for temporary alimony had been set for Friday, the 28th, but it was learned, by a Tribune reporter that attorneys had agreed, on a continuance for one week.

SUBURBAN GARDENS BEGINS SEASON Suburban Gardens, scheduled to open on Saturday, May 15, was opened for the season on Sunday, May 16, rain having been responsible for the delayed opening. All of the familiar features of the big open air amusement spot are being operated as during the last season, and the more than three thousand people who ventured out after Sunday's rain learned of the four new rides that have been erected. There is a ferris wheel, King Tut's chariton, a fricole, and the most unique of all rides, the tumble bug. Bookings already made by churches, schools, societies, and fraternal organizations indicate that Washington has definitely taken hold of the place as a picnic establishment, and the park management has accordingly made a number of those smaller improvements that give the park an especial appeal to those having charges of such groups. Saturday dance matinees will be a feature.

Vare of Philadelphia has been nominated by the Republicans of Pennsylvania to sueceed to the seat of Senator Pep- per, who is a staunch~ admin- istration supporter. The defeat ‘et Pepper. in the party stronghold state; coming upon the heels of the defeat Gf Senator McKinley in Iin- ois, is of tremendous significance, Pepper, like McKinley, represented a state in which the Negro vote is an important factor. Like McKinley, the administration organization has neglected and disregarded the Negro with a most consistent regularity. On the contrary, Vare, who for many years has controlled Philadel- phia city politigs, has always” cared for his Negro-constituents. Locally, Negroes were represented upon the city payrolls to the tune of a million dollars in annual salaries. Some high- gtade appointments and some ex- cellent elective offices have been ac- oprded them by the Vare organiza- tion. On the contrary, Senator Pepper saw no merit'in cultivating the Ne- gro until his plight became serious, whereupon he hastened to procure the appointment of a Negro to the post of Assistant U. S. District Attorney in Philadelphia, That this selection was madesfor campaign purposes is ihdicated by the fact that the ap- pointe had been admitted to the bar but a few brief weeks before, and had as yet had no actual_professional ex- perience such as one would expect to find in the incumbent of such an «fice. He did, however, and does manage a newspaper that is credited with having considerable influence in eastern Pennsylvania. This effort at belated recognition of his Negro constituency’s right to national office proved unavailing. So Jikewise did his similarly beléted in- terest in the confirmation of James @obb to a judgeship in the District of Columbia fail him as a bit of bait to ‘Negro voters in Pennsylvania. The, upshot of the whole matter was, Vare Jed him in the primaries by nearly a hundred thousand votes. The state has. many more Negro votes than that. v 7 One of the, main issues wes, “Wet wor Dry?¥; and another, which con- eerned the Negro mgst, was, whether ‘or not the administration should be supported. Andrew Mellon, Secretary ofthe Treasury, a close friend of the “President and one of “the world’s wealthiest men, hastened to Pitts- cbpreh to bring the influence and pressure of his office and power to ear upon the candidacy of: Pepper, lll to no avail. : Perhaps the administration will be- win to realize that the time when Ne- grees and their votes might be held with a mere grandstand play to them just before a primary or an election, is. gone. ‘Negroes are thinking as well as voting—at least, many of. them are; nd their memory has been getting better with the years. Broken cam: paign promises are not being for- gotten so easily as of old. Nor doe: Axbelated petty appointment or twi serve to ease their now-a-day troubled minds. ANOTHER LESSON ‘The decision of the Interstate Com- merce Cemmission in the case of Dr Grosby, ought to demonstrate once more the futility of bringing wy the way they are brought up—the cases abeging damaging discrimina. tion in the matter of jim-crow prac- tives, based on allegations of “un- equal” accommodations. The very wording of the commis- sion’s, finding serves to indicate the essential needs, The commission says: “While the evidence in this case is not sufficient to warrant US in making definite findings of UNDUE prejudice,” etc. (The capitals are, of course, ours.) Ld Wractly. It is admitted that there ig.yprejudice; that there are unequal 2 dations; that there are un- wines conditions, but-these are “anduly” so—st any rate, ot ec- to “our” judgment, That is, Jong as Negroes—either explicitly tacitly fail te question—and to contest—“the right of car- to segregate the colored -race.” anywhere, in any -way, s0"l07 “we expect it to be impossible to pve “undue” prejudice.

In short, the primary thing to do is to see to it that the men on the commission—which means the man (President) who appoints them—are of the sort who may be “touched with our infirmities” or who fear our pow- er. No amount of “evidence,” for ex- ample, would have convinced Jeffer- son Davis, of the wrong of slavery; nor can we imagine him taking ad- vantage of an opportunity to abblish the institution. It tock a man of Lin- coln’s mind for that, The important words in the -decision—and implied in all such decisions—are “US,” and “UNDUE.” eee WHAT'S HE AFTER? | President Coolidge in a speech in ‘Williamsburg, Va., last week declared his approval of “State Rights.” His speech was so worded as to make a pleasant appeal to the states that have since the civil war continued to insist upon precisely that right, just as they did previons to the war. The president. said: “J want to see the policy adopted bythe States of discharging thelr public functions so faithfully that in- stead of an extension on the part of the Federal Government, there can be a retraction.” He neglected to state, however, whe showld be the judge as to when the states were functioning faithfully, and with justice. . That has “always geen the prerogative of the national government; and thé tone of the President’s remarks seems to indi- cate/a willingness to surrender com- pletgy this responsibility to the states. The ‘speech has increasedhis' pop- ularity below the Mason and Dixon line considerably, although as to the main issues which occupy the minds of the white Southerners—that \is, their “handling” of the Negroes—cool Cal has: not ‘heretofore caused them any worry. i The U. S. Senate on WedneSday afternoon received and passed a res- olution to’ investigate the expenditure of funds in connection with the sen- atofial elections in exaetly seven and one-half minutes. Contrasted with the many months involved in the compar- atively. minor matter of confirming the appointment of a Negro to a judgeship, the record is remarkable Further doubt as to the sincerity o! the body in its dealings with thle Neé- gro quite naturally follows. ” An important incident in connection with the seven and one-half minut performanee is the boast that twenty. one senators were pursusded change their minds. In the Cobb case it seems that but one mind need be changed; and we are told that sena. torial courtesy:prevents ‘that. Comparisons may sometimes. b coe they are also sometime enlighteting. ere THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 21,1926 o¥"™ ee Bowie of Brown Memorial Church, Washington, D.C.; Rev.

TEXT OF DECISION In a decision rendered last Friday, the Interstate Commerce Commission dismissed the complaint of Dr. E. Crosby, a physician, of Detroit, Michigan, charging railroads operating in the South was "undue prejudice against, and of unreasonable regulations affecting, persons of the colored race in favor of persons of the white race," on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to warrant it in making definite findings of race discrimination. The commission also found in its report that it has no jurisdiction to award punitive damages. The commission directed attention to toilet conditions existing in certain towns in Alabama and also declared that the evidence in the case "strongly points to unsatisfactory conditions in several instances." In his complaint filed January 5, 1925, Dr. Crosby, who was then a traveling salesman, charged that between April 10, 1922, and November 7, 1924, certain railroads in the South had failed to furnish him, and colored passengers in general, the same train and station accommodations and facilities as were furnished to white passengers. He also charged that on different occasions Pullman accommodations were refused him, and that in other ways he was subjected to unreasonable regulations and to unjust discrimination and undue prejudice in violation of certain sections of the Inter-state Commerce Act. He asked for an order requiring these railroads in the South to furnish the same facilities and service for colored persons are as accorded white persons. He also sought an award of damages in the total amount of $120,000. The railroads and the Pullman Company filed motions to dismiss his complaint on the ground that the charges, even if true, did not constitute violations of the act, and on the further ground that the commission is not clothed with authority to award damages of the nature sought. These motions were sustained in part. The full text of the conclusions reached by the commission, preceded by a discussion of the evidence, is as follows: "Defendants denied generally that any discrimination is practiced against the colored race. On the contrary, they contended that the facilities provided are usually amply adequate and equally well appointed. "The superintendent of the Nashville terminal testified that the approach to the colored coach as described by complainant was exceptional, if true, and that it is not the way the colored traffic is normally handled. It was specifically stated that a small restaurant with a lunch counter is provided at the Montgomery station, although it was admitted that no tables are furnished while the restaurant for the whites includes such accommodations. "It is not understood that complainant questions the right of carriers to segregate the colored race both at stations and on trains, provided the facilities furnished are relatively equal to those accorded white patrons, and therefore this phase of the matter will not be discussed. "In Edwards v. N. C. & St. L. Ry. Co., 12 I. C. C. 247, was said at page 249: "While, therefore, the reasonableness of such regulation as to interstate passenger traffic is established, it by no means follows that carriers many discriminate between white and colored passengers in the accommodations which they furnish to each. If a railroad provides certain facilities and accommodations for first-class passengers of the white race, it is commanded by the law that like accommodations shall be provided for colored passengers of the same class. "The principle that must govern is that carriers must serve equally well all passengers, whether white or colored, paying the same fare. Failure to do this is discrimination and subjects the passenger to undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage." "While the evidence in this case is not sufficient to warrant us in making definite findings of undue prejudice to complainant in particular, and to the colored race in general, nevertheless, it strongly points to unsatisfactory conditions in several instances. The coach accommodations do not seem to be in all cases equal in appointment to those furnished the white patrons, and the indications are that some of the station facilities may not be all that should be provided in order to avoid the charge of undue prejudice. "Particular attention is called to the toilet conditions which apparently exist at Huntsville, Florence, and Tuscumbia, and if it is found that complainant's statements in this respect are well founded, those conditions should be promptly corrected. "Complainant offered no proof in support of his claims for damages. While our findings herein do not require a discussion of complainant's prayers in this connection, nevertheless it should be said that before any party can recover damages under the inter-state commerce act he must allege and show not merely the wrong of the carrier but that the wrong has in fact operated to his injury. "As said in Penna, R. R. Co. v. International Coal Co., 230 U. S. 184, 206: "This conclusion, that the right to recover is limited to the pecuniary loss suffered and proved, is demanded by the language of the statute, the construction put upon it years ago in the Parsons Case, and is the view taken in the only other case we find in which this question, under the Act, to Regulate Commerce, has been construed. In Knudsen v. Michigan Central R. R., 148 Fed. Rep. 968, 974, it was said by the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit that to "support a recovery under this section there must be a showing of some specific pecuniary injury." "It seems clear that our jurisdiction is limited to an award of damages capable of definite ascertainment, and not to damages of the nature com- "An appurtenant order will be en- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1926 SHIFTING POPULATION CENTRES REQUIRING TRANSFER OF SCHOOLS BOWEN TO HOUSE WHITE PUP ILS NEXT YEAR BUNKER HILL MAY ALSO CHANGE The Board of Education has authorized the transfer of the Anthony Bowen School from the supervision of the Assistant Superintendent in charge of colored schools; and at the close of the current term of school, the building will be turned over to the use of white pupils. Bowen is one of the older schools. It is an eight room structure designed to house 320 pupils. It is located at E Street, and East 41 1-2 Streets, Southwest. The shifting of the population in the territory served by the school has moved the center to the block in which the Bell School is located. But seven rooms of the Bowen School are in service and only 253 students are enrolled. This is a clear waste of 21 per cent of seating capacity, a thing than can be ill afforded at this period of insufficient seating capacity of the system as a whole The pupils of Bowen will be cared for in the new annex of Bell School. This annex is of the same capacity as the turned over structure, and is more convenient to the majority of the pupils involved. The same shift of population tendency may effect Ambush School at L Street between Sixth and Seventhth, the this building is not being considered with any view of change in personnel during the current year. However, the school executives are mindful of the transition going on in the territory. Bunker High School The Board of Education will be asked to give consideration to Bunker Hill School at an early meeting. This school is located on Bunker Hill Road in the extreme northeast section of the city. It is a two room structure intended to accommodate eighty pupils. At present it is occupied by two teachers and 39 pupils, some whom are from Maryland.

LAUTIER, Sports Editor Hampton Lowers Records at Track Meet Hubbard Runs "100' and Broad Jumps By Thomas W. Young Hampton, Va., May 17—Hampton Institute's track squad won the fifth intercollegiate track and field meet on Armstrong Field last Saturday, piling up 87 points against 25 for her most rival, Union University, in a remarkable event where nine records were broken. Manassas Institute took 25 points to win the scholastic point trophy ahead of Union Street High School with 16. It was ideal track weather, but before the meet was over rain interrupted its program. John Carrol, Baltimore distance runner was leading the field in a special scholastic 2-mile run and DeHart Hubbard, holder of the world's broad jump record, had just completed his first sensational jump when everybody was driven to shelter. The meet was resumed shortly, however, and Hubbard leaped three times more, each time thrilling the large number of spectators. His best jump made against a brisk wind was 24 ft., 10 % inches. Hubbard also proved his ability as a spinner in the 100-yard dash when he led in a fast field of 9.9 seconds. He finished second to William King of Hampton in the 220-yard low hurdles. In this race King clipped off a second from his 1923 time, completing it in 25.6 seconds. Records Shattered Nine record-breaking events followed each other in rapid succession. Pierce of St. Paul began by beating his last year's shot-put record with a heave of 38 feet, $9\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Wm D. Williams of Hampton knocked off a tenth afoe second from his 1924 time by making the 120-yard high hurdles in 16.7 seconds, throwing 160 feet, 9 inches. Manassas's quartet lowered Union Street's Virginia Relay time of 3 minutes 46.4 second by winning the event in 3 minutes 40.6 seconds. Robert A. Coles, for two years captain of Hampton's track squad, and W. Cook of Union, each shattered two records. Coles began his race with the determination to break a record and after leading practically the entire distance and almost lapping the trailer, he broke the tape in 4 minutes 39.7 seconds. Nichols of Howard had the best time—held since 1923—until Saturday. Not satisfied, Coles began the 2-mile run with the same record-breaking air, and after leading the entire route he crossed the line in 10 minutes, 26.4 seconds, lowering his own time of 1924 by ten seconds. In both of these races George Merritt of Hampton roused a cheer from the stands by forging ahead from the rear and sprinting past his competitors on the home stretch to finish second. Cook, Union's flash for five years, in company with DeHart Hubbard, pulled down by 2-10 second the record he established in 1922, the same being equaled by Byrd of Lincoln in 1923, and accomplished the century in 10 seconds flat. Cook also added to his laurel in the 440-yard dash by clipping from Langston's record made in 1924, 51.4 seconds and won the Chicago Defender trophy in 50.4 seconds. Joseph Baldwin of Hampton after getting off on a bad start pulled ahead of Banks of St. Paul, and made a daring, though unsuccessful, attempt to overtake Cook's big lead. Hampton Takes Relay With one leg on the Madame Walker Trophy which goes to the school winning it three times, Hampton's mile relay team paced away from all competitors for a second share on the beautiful cup. Union was given the advantage in the first lap. Cook, the master of the quarter, bested George Gray, Hampton's lead-off man by a few yards, but King changed Gray's second into a long lead for first place in the next lap. Hampton's third runner, Clarke, maintained this lead and added a few yards to it. So when Joseph Baldwin, final runner for the Blue and White, began his quarter, he had only to protect his lead. This he did admirably against the dangerous threats of several other survivors who also sought a claim to the coveted trophy. Hampton's time was 3 minutes, 33.1 seconds.

The schedule calls for several weekend tournaments between the members of the club, a match with Howard University team, a match with Dunbart High School, a trip to Hampton, inter-city matches with Baltimore, match with the crack Bordentown players. The membership, already large, continues to increase. This is true of the ladies, especially. At one time it was thought that the club was for men only but with the present membership it is apparent that both men and women enjoy the game. With the talented exhibited, the club expects to annex the national championship titles in all of the events. The following members have been seen practicing on the courts: Talley R. Holmes, Oscar Murray, Allen Woolridge, Oliver Perry, Raymond Williams, Edward Davis, John West, Roscoe Lewis, M. H.

Lowest Meter Rates Dependable Service HERE AND THERE PICKENS HELPS Judges in the court of special sessions, New York have announced, a determination to break up "Black and Tan" cabarets and dance halls, according to a story in Variety. It seems that it is regarded as quite criminal for the races to mix in a friendly way, if a colored man owns the place of business. "Lucky Sambo" has been booked into the Palace Theater, New York, to begin the summer run. Two weeks, with renewal if business warrants, is the arrangement. "Shufflin' Sam from Alabama" is playing the third return engagement at the Globe Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio, this week. Meanwhile the show has been in burlesque houses for several weeks with more such engagements to follow. Edgar Conners and his Sambo girls after the Washington engagement went to the Nixon Theatre, Philadelphia. This week the act is in New York City. "Miss Magnolia" is the name of a colored show now in rehearsal in New York. It is intended for a summer run in a Broadway theatre. Miller and Lyles opened on May 17 as a featured team in the new Schubert production "The Great Temptation" at the Winter Garden, New York. Ocey Wilson, husband and manager of Mamie Smith's Revue is confined to his home in New York seriously ill. "Dago" White is handling the show in Washington. GUS SMITH RECOVERING GENEE JONES BAND BOOKED FOR PARKS Gus Smith who was obliged to close his show, "Hello Dixie" because of illness, and who has been for the past eight weeks under the care of physicians in Buffalo, advises that he is much improved now and is ready to again hit the trail. Pending the opening of the new season, he has booked Genee Jones, his wife; and her band for a series of park engagements in New York state. Eight boys with Miss Jones at the piano constitutes the band. "DUSTY" MURRAY EXPLAINS HIS SHOW "Dusty" Murray with Mr. Robinson, his manager, were callers at the Tribune office last week, and in the course of an interview, he explained the reasons for the showing his company made at the Howard Theatre during the present engagement. Mr. Murray was chagrined at the criticisms directed at the production, but he was showman enough to admit the truth of the reviews, and that he appreciated the newspaper that would be so honest in its reviews, despite the long time friendship that had existed between him and the writer. The show moved from here to Chester, Pa., for a three-day engagement after which it will close for further fixing up before being tendered to bookers. "Dusty" had been the victim of a series of misfortunes that he assures his public will not happen again.

State Street, Chicago, IL PICKENS HELPS IN SELECTING FILM MATERIAL The following infromation concerning the proposed film productions of Cecil De Mille is of public interest inasmuch as it comes directly from the pen of Dean William Pickens, N. A. A. C. P. organizer, traveler, humorist, and college honor man from Harvard. He is an author with several books to his credit. The aspect of the proposed film productions of Negro life takes on a very much more favorable aspect when the advisory supervision of one of Pickens' abilities and views is promised. Doe. Pickens states: "After a round of visits to the producers' studies in Hollywood, I came to the great studio of DeMille in Culver City and found some somewhat chagrined because their proposition concerning a moving picture of Negro life had been misinterpreted by the newspapers. It is not their intention to give the history of the Negro race nor any solution of the race problem, nor to deal with Negro-white relations in any particular. What they aim at is a sort of Negro 'Humoresque,' a sympathetic presentation of Negro life with no white characters in it, or at least with no race problems in it. "This is a great idea and the man responsible for it is B. Millhauser, who is supervisor of productions of DeMille's studio. Millhauser is a New Yorker who has seen all the best Negro plays and players, and has a remarkable grasp on Negro art and life. "As a basis for a production from Negro life he has already bought the rights to 'Porgy' and has secured a lease on the services of Charles Gilpin, Paul Robeson, and other colored actors. Millhauser seemed to be somewhat discouraged by the wrong slant which many of the newspapers have given to his proposition, but after discussing the whole matter with the group who were with me on the tour, he seemed to be re-encouraged for the undertaking. "We have promised to send him all of the suggestive material which may come to our hands. He would aim to make a play that would be acceptable to reasonable people in any part of the country and that is at the same time thoroughly sympathetic of and correctly interpretative of Negro life. "This he feels that he can do if the public is not first misled and prejudiced by well-intentioned misinterpretations of the colored press and by hostile attitudes on the part of the anti-Negro press." Cecil DeMille, film producer, who has announced a series of films of Negro life is reported to have obtained his impulse in this direction from the personal of Alaine Locke's book, "The New Negro"; and is said to be using the publication as a guide in his preparation of the scenarios of several films. THIS WEEK AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday that beautiful screen star, Corinne Griffith, will be in a picture version of Victor Herbert's famous operetta "Mile. Modiste." Wednesday and Thursday, Clara Bow, Warmer Baxter George Bancroft and William Powell appear in a William De Mille production, called "The Runaway," a romantic drama of the wild hills of Kentucky. Friday and Saturday, Harry Langdon, at whom you have many times laughed in two-reel comedies, will make his first appearance in a feature production filled with a riot of fun. "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," is the vehicle in which Langdon excels himself. For Saturday only, in addition to the feature, the first episode of "The Bar C Mystery," with Doretty Phillips and Wallace MacDonald. Guess the number of horseshoes turned in as tickets for the serial and win a prize. See house program for particulars. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE JOHN W.

Vogel of "Darkest America" fame will again have a colored show on tour. He is sending out a minstrel, and has engaged Frank Kirk to stage the production.

Thursday and Friday, May 27, 28. "The Fighting Edge" with Patsy Ruth Miller and Kenneth Harlan. A melodrama, replete with thrills, of the United States Secret Service on the Mexican Border.

This trump comes with a wonderful record as a great box office attraction, carrying the Novelty Four Quartet, Billy Gunn and Harold Brown, two first rate fun makers. Eunice Washington, jazz singer of note, Coleman Titus and Richard Hutt, two dancing demons and a chorus of pretty snappy girls, in gorgeous costumes. On the screen will be shown the world's most sensational comedy-drama "The Bat." first time shown in any colored house in Washington. Every Saturday a flock of chickens will be given away free to holders of lucky numbers. Special Warning to Those Living in and about Washington Watch out for "The Bat!" The most diabolical criminal of all times is at large in Washington now. You will find him at the Howard Theatre the entire week of May 24th. He's the title character in the greatest of all mystery plays. This melodrama has a hundred gasps, laughs and surprises for every scene. Complications have been added to baffle even the thousands who saw the spoken drama. A powerful love theme runs through the story of murder, robbery, haunted houses, and a terror reign launched by a seemingly super-human law breaker. The action when the Bat's "real" identity is disclosed takes audiences completely by surprise and stumps the "I told you so's." of Dick Hall's Night Hawk Serenaders, assisted by talent. Coming June 1, 2, 3, 4. "Brown of Harvard." The greatest drama of football and college life ever brought to the screen. LINCOLN MATINEES DAILY—2 P.M.

MAMIE SMITH, A GENEROUS SOUL WITH A GOOD COMPANY Mamie Smith, in private life, Mrs Ocey Wilson, who with her company is playing a local theatre is alone this week for the first time since she has been touring. The husband, usually with the show is confined to his bed ill in New York. Miss Smith herself is feeling the rigors of a season's work, and the show closes for the season on Saturday night. That she merits sympathy for her illness in addition to the praise that the original Negro record artist always receives is best known by the disclosure of an incident that occurred in Kansas City some few years ago just after the Tulsa, Oklahoma riots. Miss Smith happened to be playing in the Missouri town while local charity organizations were raising funds for the distressed refugees from Tulsa. Miss Smith, anxious to donate sought out the collectors and gave a hundred dollars and sought no publicity. The story leaked out through Bill McClain, who was in Kansas City then but is now a resident of Washington. It is little wonder that she is so materially prosperous. People in public life seldom do such things without having an eye to the publicity value of the act. Billy Henderson, Lucille Basey, Sadie Montgomery, Lillian Stokes, Rhobe Helms, Gladys Gregory, Eugene Taylor, Herbert Taylor, Daniel Winstard, Mose Gaston, Dusty Fletcher Gene H. Smith and Mrs. Ethel Williams Dotson were in the company that delivered an unusually clever performance; and drew a packed house for the opening night.

We are quite sure that our patrons remember just what a wonderful production they saw in "The Ten Commandments," and you know just what to expect when you see "The Wanderer." It is a wonderful story of the first black sheep. If you remember this verse from a certain parable in the Bible you have the real story in advance," "A certain man had two sons, and the younger of them said to his father, 'Father give me the portion of goods that fallleth to me'" and this alone will give you the story upon which is built the world's greatest motion picture. On Sunday and Monday, Gloria Swanson will appear in "Stuge Struck." Glorious Gloria happens to be everybody's favorite so we need not say more. Tuesday, one day only, Blanche Sweet and Roland Colman in "His Supreme Moment."
