ATTORNEY CHARLES S. HILL CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT FROM ELKS LODGE THE CONGRESSION IRST ST., S. E. FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION ATTORNEY CHARLI CHARGED WITH MENT FROM HillStates That Others May Be Implicated in $7,000 Scandal Charles Sumner Hill, an attorney, having offices at 611 F Street, and living at 732 Fairmont Street, Northwest, surrendered himself last Saturday morning to Detective Edward J. Kelly, who had a warrant for his arrest charging embezzlement of $7,572 from Morning Star Lodge No. 40, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Accompanied by his attorneys, Royal Hinges, Charles E. Robinson and Joseph P. Neal, he as taken to the police court where he was arraigned and the case was continued until May 28. Bail was fixed at $10,000, in default of which he was sent to jail. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by J. Alexander Upsher, of 2221 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, a trustee of Morning Star Lodge. The alleged embezzlement grew out of a transaction involving the purchase of property at No. 1044 Q Street, Northwest, adjoining property on Fifth Street belonging to Morning Star Lodge, on which it was planned to erect a $300,000 building. A check for $13,000, with which this property was to have been purchased, was drawn payable to Mr. Upsher, who was to deposit it with the title company, it is said. Mr. Upsher endorsed it and gave it to Mr. Hill as attorney for the committee that was to make the purchase. Mr. Hill deposited the check, March 17, last, to the credit of "Charles S. Hill, trustee." He then checked against it. Lodge Notifled Attorney George C. German, acting for the owner of the property, advised the lodge that a settlement had not yet been made with his client. A committee was appointed to investigate the matter. On this committee were Attorney Armond W. Scott, Alexander Upsher, Edward Jenifer, Floyd Payne and George B. Clark. This committee was to confer with Mr. Hill and obtain the money from him. This committee accompanied Mr. Hill to the bank and was given a check for $5,178. He promised to make good the shortage, but failed. Friday the warrant was issued for his arrest. Efforts to secure his release from jail on bond have thus far failed. No professional bondsman would sign his bond. It was sought to have four bondsmen to sign his bond, but no more than three could be obtained. His friends charge that their efforts to secure his release on bond were blocked by his enemies. His attorneys say they have the fee of $600 with which to pay the bondsmen, and Mr. Hill denies that he has any intention of running away. Others Implicated Others are implicated in the alleged embezzlement, Mr. Hill infiltrated in an interview Tuesday. He would not divulge any names, nor did he tell what was done with the money he is charged with embezzling. He said that he would talk fully at the proper time after consultation with his attorneys. Charles Sumner Hill is well known in legal and fraternal circles. He is a former grand auditor of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows as well as a former District Grand Master of the District of Columbia. He is a former president and attorney of the Parent-Teacher League, and played a leading part in the fight to oust Roscoe C. Bruce as assistant superintendent of the public schools. He was also at one time prominent in church affairs, having been a trustee of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. RANDOLPH ON PROGRAM AT SESQUI OPENING New York City, May 24—A.

The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY RLES S. HILL TH EMBEZZLE- M ELKS LODGE Benefactor Dies Dr. CREED W. CHILDS PROMINENT CITIZEN BURIED THIS WEEK. Dr. Creed W. Childs, a prominent physician, and an active participant in the development of his people in the District of Columbia, died at his residence, 1911 L Street, Northwest, at 4 p.m., on Sunday, May 23 after an illness of more than a year together with a long period of blindness. His family were all able to reach home from their respective communities before the father passed away. He will be buried from Zion Baptist Church. Rev. W. J. Washington will preach the funeral sermon. The deceased held important position in many organization. The body will be accompanied to its final resting place by members of the Medical Association. Robert McGuire, has charge of the funeral arrangements. Dr. Childs was born in Utah, Ala., May 8, 1864, and came to Washington early in life. He has held several important posts in the government service including that of clerk in the Pension Office and in the Geodetic Survey Service. He graduated from the Medical School of Howard University with the class of 1893 and was one of the organizers of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia. He has been physician to the poor of the District, sanitary inspector, food inspector in the health department, medical inspector of contagious diseases for the District, and a member of the board of education. He was also a vice-president of the Anti-Saloon League of the city. The doctor was married twice. His first wife as Miss Bettie A. Beck. By this union there were five children all of whom survive the deceased. Mrs. Rosa Childs Baughman, wife of the weighmaster of the Indianapolis post office came home some days ago and her husband arrived prior to the funeral. Other children are Franklyn W. Childs; Beatrice O. Childs, a teacher in the Atlantic City schools; Mansfield E. Childs of this city and Creed Childs, Jr., a teacher in the Washington public schools. Rosa Belle Childs, nine-year-old daughter of Creed, Jr., is a grand-daughter of the deceased. His second wife who survives him, Mrs. Henrietta Baceus Childs, was a teacher in the Richmond public schools at the time of their marriage. She has recently been his constant guide and companion; and is prostated at the loss of her husband for whom she has constantly cared during the long illness that preceded his passing. Few men have died in this city, of whom so many fine expressions of sentiment have been made. He is credited with having been responsible for the securing of many of the appointments in the government service that have come to members of the race. Henry A. Brown, reality dealer and a life long friend of BP. Childs, epitomized this sentiment in discussing the death with members of Jonathan Davis Consistory of which he is Illustrious Commander, when he said: "Washington has lost a genuinely useful citizen."

FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1926 THE MUSEUM On 23-acre tract between Washington and Baltimore Nat. Training School Has Fire PIONEER HALL BURNED OUT AND INSTITUTION THREATENED HAS $20,000 LOSS Pioneer Hall, the main building of the National Training School for Women and Girls at Fiftieth and Grant Streets, Northeast, in the section of the city known as Lincoln Heights, was damaged to the extent of more than $10,000 in a daytime fire that occurred Wednesday during school hours. The fire which apparently originated from sparks from the kitchen chimney was discovered while the pupils were in a demonstration class by Grace Spaulding, a visitor from Danielson, Conn., a delegate to the Baptist convention in session here. The second floor dormitory was slightly damaged, and the third floor was almost completely destroyed. At one time it was thought that the flames that mounted more than twenty feet into the sky and were swerved by the wind would envelop adjoining structures and wipe out the institution. Firemen however, succeeded in keeping the fire confined to Pioneer building. The office, chapel, reception room, dining room and kitchen, all of which are on the first floor and basement of the building sustained considerable damage from smoke and water. The location of the school on the top of a steep hill handicapped the fire department to some extent. Miss Burroughs, the president, in an interview with a Tribune reporter, stated that all of the furniture in the building was damaged, and that records of more than ten years were destroyed. The National Training School was promoted by Miss Nannie Burroughs, its president; and it is fostered by the Women's convention an auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention. The school was founded in 1909. The institution group comprises three main buildings and six minor structures. Two literary and twelve industrial courses are provided in the curriculum. There is a student body of 120 pupils registered. June 9 is graduation day, but plans for this will not be effected by the fire. When asked about the plans for replacement of the lost property, Miss Burroughs stated that "in all probability nearly $20,000 will be required since but $4,000 insurance was carried upon the building with none upon the fixtures and equipment which are measurably more costly that the building that houses them. We are at loss yet to determine how to arrange for the reconstruction. We have not recovered from the stunning blow the fire administered to us, nor have we completed our inventory of the losses."

Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and Grandmaster of the North Carolina Jurisdiction of the Order of Mosaic, was a visitor in Washington last Monday. He stopped enroute from Charlotte, N.C., to a conference of Mosaic Grandmasters that was held in Cleveland, Ohio, this week. While in Washington, he was the house guest of Charles D. Freeman, Imperial Treasurer of the Shriners. COUNTRY CLUB MEMORIAL DAY OUTING The Board of Governors of the National Capital Country Club are giving an outing and dance as an inaugural celebration of the opening of the recently acquired club property at Edgehill, Md. A Maryland fried chicken dinner will be served. This dinner is to be established as a fixture for Sunday and for the Saturday night supper dance parties. The program for Memorial Day includes a lunch from twelve noon to one o'clock; a "five hundred" tournament from two until four in the afternoon; dinner from 5:30 until 7:30; and dancing from 8 till midnight with entertainers' offerings interspersed. The club is located on a twenty-three acre tract of land at Contee, a local station of the B. & O Railway midway between Mukirkh and Laurel, Md. The club house contains nineteen rooms with ten bed rooms and four baths. It is equipped with electricity, hot water heat and has spacious verandas. The dining room has a capacity of 65 guests. One wing of the house has been converted into a dance room that will comfortably accommodate fifty couples. A golf course is in process of construction. Tennis courts will be laid out, and a billiard room will be provided with tables for both carom and pocket billiards. The club which is to be maintained upon a strictly membership basis with absolute parity between men and women is headed by the following officers: Dr. Emmett Scott, president; Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. H. S. McCard, vice-presidents; Victor R. Daly, secretary; Dr. M. O. Dumas, treasurer; James M. Cobb, chairman of the membership committee. The men who organized the club have never doubted the ability of the real estate committee to obtain the kind of property that they wanted. This committee consisted of Victor R. Daly, Charles H. Flagg, Thomas H. R. Clarke and Mortimer H. Harris. The first three named put in considerable time and effort on the matter. If any credit is due to any one man more than to any other in the matter, according to Mr. Clarke, that credit must go to Mr. Victor Daly, who bore the brunt of labor in connection with the purchase. NEW STORES ON FLORIDA AVENUE Florida Avenue between 7th Street and North Capitol is rapidly becoming a business thoroughfare. One of the latest contracts for remodeling residences into business property was let to the L. E. Diggs and Company. This contract calls for new stores at 207 and 209 Florida Avenue. These places are owned by A. L. Parks, and F. C. A. Lyles. GRAVES CAFE BUYS SMITH- FIELD HAMS One of the largest shipments of the famous Smithfield hams sent to this city was a consignment received at Graves' Cafe during the past week. Mr. Graves the genial proprietor of this famous cafe, stated to a Tribune reporter that he will feature this well known delicacy on his regular menu. Mr. Graves is one of the oldest and best known cafe men in the city. He has the largest dining room in the city and operates three shifts of cooks, the cafe remaining open all night every night. A. M. E. Zion Conference Over PEW CHANGES IN ASSIGNMENT OF MINISTERS MARKS CLOSING SESSION OF THE A. M. E. ZION CONFERENCE Reports Indicate Most Satisfactory Condition of Conference and Its Churches Last Sunday marked the closing of the greatest session ever held in the history of the Philadelphia and Baltimore annual conference. Long before the time of service to begin Galbraith church was packed to the doors with large crowds also on the outside who could not get in for lack of space. This conference broke all previous records in attendance, entertainment, finance and dispatch of business. Fifteen thousand dollars was raised and ten thousand dollars subscribed for Livingstone College at Salisbury, North Carolina, in its two hundred and fifty thousand dollar drive-for educational purposes. There were very few changes made in appointments. Dr. J. H. Tucker was Washington district. Dr. I. S. Lee was changed from Trinity A. M. E. Zion Church to Gibson Grove. Rev. O. L. Rand comes from Brentwood to Trinity, Washington, D.C., and N. J. Stepsenson goes to Brentwood, Md. There were only two changes made on the Philadelphia district of which Dr. M. L. Ballock is the Presiding Elder. B. F. Parker goes from St. Paul, Philadelphia, to Frankford, Pa., and W. H. Cohen from Fairfield, Md., to Allentown, Pa. Dr. G. M. Edwards was reappointed Presiding Elder of the Salisbury district. Dr. J. W. McCoy goes back to Big Zion, Baltimore for the year. Presiding Elder T. J. Wynn of the York district was transferred to Montgomery, Ala., Rev. V. H. Manuel takes his place as presiding elder of the York district and Rev. P. S. Watts from Wilmington, Del., succeeds Rev. V. H. Manuel at Chambersburg, Pa. The one hundredth anniversary of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference will be held in the session which will convene next May at Big Wesley, Philadelphia, Dr. H. D. Tillman pastor. Bishop J. S. Caldwell is the presiding bishop of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference and was associated with Bishop P. A. Wallace, E D. W. Jones, and L. W. Kyles. Several general officers and prominent Zion ministers were visitors at this conference. GETS PAINTING CONTRACT FOR SESQUI-CENTENNIAL GETS PAINTING CONTRACT FOR SESQUI-CENTENNIAL E. S. Conway, Jr., a product of the Washington public schools who operates a sign painting studio at 1340 U Street, Northwest, has been awarded a contract for the art work for the United States Post Office exhibit to be displayed at the Sequicentennial in Philadelphia. The exhibit is in the form of a massive book of sixteen leaves, each seven by five feet, and the work will in all probability be viewed by millions of people. The young race artist was awarded the contract over ten competitors for the very substantial contract. CURTIS CASE DISMISSED BY U. S. SUPREME COURT; DIRECT ISSUE EVADED CURTIS CASE BY U. S. SUP DIRECT Club Secretary A. E. H. H. U. PRESIDENCY MAY BE FILLED AT N. Y. MEETING The committee of trustees of Howard University named to select a president to succeed Dr. Durkee has called a meeting in the office of its chairman, Colopal Theodore Roosevelt for Friday afternoon, May 28. While a number of names of candidates have been considered and many eliminated, the selection has not yet been made, insofar as the public can learn. Dr. Gregg, Bishop of the diocese of Africa of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, a former president of Wilberforce College, was consulted with last week in Washington by members of the committee, but it is believed that he is not inclined to abandon the bishopric with its lifelong tenure for the turbulence that the Howard incumbency may invite. Dr. Charles Wesley's name continues to be regarded seriously, and it is known that he has a friend at court in one of the members of the committee. Dwight Holmes, another of the university faculty seems to be regarded in quite a favorable light by those purporting to have inside information. He is the favorite of the Alumni Association, and they are boosting him hard in certain quartets. Either of the latter would however be acceptable to the graduate body, according to an informant. Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. Emmet J. Scott has been reported to have repeated his declination to have his name placed before the committee. It is assumed that he is more interested in having a president named with whom he could co-operate with harmony. Dr. KellyMiller, whose name typifies the traditions of the school continues to be regarded seriously. POPULAR AGENT OF SOUTHERN AID INS COMPANY DIES On Saturday, May 22, Gus I. Richardson, age 42, son of Rev. R. C. and Emma Richardson, and the husband of Annie Brown Richardson of Twelfth and S Streets, died at Gallinger Hospital where he had been taken that day for observation. He was buried on Tuesday, May 25, from Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. M. W. Norman officiated. The body lay in state at the Murray Funeral parlers prior to the ceremonies. Mr. Richardson was born in Dalton, Ga., leaving there early in life with his father's family. He went to the public schools of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the industrial school at Huntsville, Ala., and to the Lynchburg, Va. Baptist Seminary, graduating in 1902. For a time he conducted a grocery business in Washington, later joining his father in touring the country delivering religious lectures and showing films of a character suitable to church presentation. About four years ago the deceased joined the staff of the Southern Insurance Company of Richmond, Va. and soon became its most productive 8 PAGES ONE SECTION DISMISSED PREME COURT; ISSUE EVADED Court Holds Constitutional Question is Not Involved The United States Supreme Court last Monday dismissed the Curtiss case, which involved the legality of an agreement among a number of property holders not to sell, lease or rent their property to colored persons. The court held that there was no constitutional question involved, and therefore, that it lacked jurisdiction. The effect of this decision is to leave in force an injunction, issued by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, restraining Mrs. Irene Hand Corrigan from selling and Mrs. Helen Curtis from buying the premises at No. 1727 S Street, Northwest. Suit for an injunction was brought by John J. Buckley. He claimed that Mrs. Corrigan was one of thirty persons who had entered into a covariant 1月, 1921, running with the land, providing that no part of their property should ever be used or occupied by, or sold, leased or given to any person of the Negro race or blood for a period of 21 years. On September 26, 1922, Mrs. Corrigan entered into a contract to sell her property to Mrs. Curtis. Mr. Buckley applied to the District Supreme Court for an injunction. Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curtis filed motions to dismiss his bill on the grounds that the covariant was unconstitutional and contrary to public policy. Their motions to dismiss were overruled. The defendants elected to stand on their motions, and a final decree was entered enjoining the sale. The decision of the District Supreme Court was affirmed on appeal by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbian. Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curtis then appealed to the United States Supreme Court on the ground that a review was authorized in that the case involved the construction or application of the Constitution and certain statutes of the United States. This appeal was allowed in June, 1924. The case was argued in the Supreme Court on January 8, 1926. The opinion of the court, rendered by Justice Sanford, is as follows: "The mere assertion that the case is one involving the construction or application of the Constitution, and in which the construction of Federal laws is drawn in question, does not, however, authorize this Court to entertain an appeal; and it is our duty to decline jurisdiction if the record does not present such a constitutional or statutory question substantial in character and properly raised below. Sugarman v. U.S., 249 U.S. 182, 184; Zuchht v. King, 260 U.S. 174, 178. And under well settled rules, jurisdiction is wanting if such questions are so unsubstantial as to be plainly without color. of merit and frivolous. Wilson v. North Carolina, 169 U.S. 586, 595; Delmar Jockey Club v. Missouri, 210 U.S. 324, 335; Bindercup v. Pathe Exchange, 263 U.S. 291, 365; Moore v. New York Cotton Exchange, No. 200, decided April 12, 1926. "Under the pleadings in the present case the only constitutional question involved was that arising under the assertions in the motions to dismiss that the indenture or covenant, which in the basis 'of the bill,' is 'void' in that it is contrary to and forbidden by the Fifth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. This contention is entirely lacking in substance or color of merit. The fifth Amendment 'is a limitation only upon the powers of the General Government,' Talton v. Mayes, 162 U.S. 308, 382, and is not directed against the action of individuals. The Thirteenth Amendment denouncing slavery and involuntary servitude, that is, a condition of enforced compulsory service of one to another, does not in other matters protect the individual rights of persons of the Negro race. Hodges v. U.S., 203 U.S. 1, 16, 18. And the prohibitions of the Fourteenth Amendment 'have reference to state action exclusively, and not to any action of private individuals.' Virginia v. Rives, 100 U.S. 313, 318; U.S. v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629, 639. 'It is state action of particular kind that is prohibited. Individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject-matter of the Amendment.' Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3, 11. It is obvious that none of the amendments prohibited private individuals from entering into contracts respecting the control and disposition of their own property; and there is no color for the contention that they rendered the indenture void. And, plainly, the claim urged in this Court that they were to be looked to, in connection with the provisions of the Revised Statutes and the decisions of the courts, in determining the contention, earnestly pressed, that the indenture is void as being 'against public policy', does not involve a constitutional question with LOCALS AND SOCIETY FOR OCCUPANCY JUNE 1st IN AN EXCLUSIVE, SELECT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD Terrace Apts. 2201-2203-2205-2207 CHAMPLAIN ST., N.W.

"The claim that the defendants drew in question the 'construction' of Sections 1977, 1978 and 1979 of the Revised Statutes, is equally unstantial. The only question raised as to these statutes under the pleadings was the assertion in the motion interposed by the defendant Curtis, that the indenture is void in that it is forbidden by the laws enacted in aid and under the sanction of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. Assuming that this contention drew in question the 'construction' of these statutes, as distinguished from their application, it is obvious, upon their face, that while they provided, inter alia, that all persons and citizens shall have equal right with white citizens to make contracts and acquire property, they, like the constitutional amendment under whose sanction they were enacted, do not in any manner prohibit or invalidate contracts enforced into by private individuals in respect to the control and disposition of their own property. There is no color for the contention that they rendered the indenture void; nor was it claimed in this Court that they had, in and of themselves, any such effect. "We therefore conclude that neither the constitutional nor statutory question relied on as grounds for the appeal to the court have any substantial quality or color of merit, or afford any jurisdictional basis for the appeal. "And while it was further urged in this court that the decrees of the courts below in themselves deprived the defendants of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, this contention likewise cannot serve as a jurisdictional basis for the appeal. Assuming that such a contention, if of a substantial character, might have constituted ground for an appeal under paragraph 3 of the code provision, it was not raised by the petition for the appeal or by any assignment of error, either in the Court of Appeals or in this Court; and it likewise is lacking in substance. The defendants were given a full hearing in both courts; they were not denied any constitutional or statutory rights; and there is no sebemance of ground for any contention that the decrees were so plainly arbitrary and contrary to law as to be acts of mere spoliation.

"It results that, in the absence of any substantial constitutional or statutory question giving us jurisdiction of this appeal under the provisions of section 250 of the Jadecial Code, we cannot determine upon the merits of the contentions earnestly pressed by the defendants in this Court that the indenture is not only void because contrary to public policy, but is also of such a discriminatory character that a court of equity will not lend its aid by enforcing the specific performance of the covenant. These are questions involving a consideration of rules not expressed in any constitutional or statutory provision, but claimed to be a part of the common or general law in force in the District of Columbia; and, plainly, they may not be reviewed under this appeal unless jurisdiction of the case is otherwise acquired. "Hence, without a consideration of these questions, the appeal must be and is, dismissed for want of jurisdiction."

It serves also to emphasize the fact that, contrary to what many people seem to think, the ‘operation of the law is not comparable to the invariable, automatic, imper- sonal functioning of.a correctly de- signed machine. Nor are the results of its operation definitely predictable as are the operations of the “laws” ‘of Nature, sé far as we know them. Into the construction and into the application of the law, the human ele- ment enters. Not even the Supreme Court judges—not to mention judges of the lesser courts—are or can be wholly free from personal bias, or prejudice if you please. That fact myst be taken info consideration when preparing to take a case into court and we must allow for it when expecting a decision. ‘Applying these ideas to the case in’ «question, what do we observe in the: Curtis case? From the layman's point of view it seems to boil down to'this, The court held that it was " ndt evident on its face, or that it dia ‘not seem evident to them on its face, ‘that ‘such an agreement as the one in question was against public policy or that it was in contravention of the ‘Constitution or any amendment: to it. ‘The first matter, the court held, was . a question of fact that must be proved ‘by convincing evidence, or reasoning. Mé@rever, they held thaf it was not ‘the higher court that must pass upon ‘that question of fact, but\the lower ‘one; and, further, that even though the lower court may have erred in Weeiding the question of fact, the ‘Nigher court was not competent to re- Werse that decision nor to reopen the ‘question unless there was plainly and ‘palpably some denial of a constitu: ‘tional eh in the conduct of the trial ‘Below; or that the law governing the ‘ease, or some construction of the law, ‘was plainly and palpably opposed to ‘constitutional inhibitions. ~ As for other Constitutional phases, ‘the decision merely reiterated. what ‘has been repeatedly decided before, ‘that the various amendments which ‘Wwete invoked as protection against ‘sudh discriminations as the covenant ‘im’ question, are not applicable tc dealings between or among individual ipefsons, but these amendments are ‘Hiliibitions upon actions by the States vortby Congress. ‘What then is our remedy?» Plain- oe remedy is civic and political thust create enough favorable ‘wetitiment, or form such a al ‘ices or alignments, thht.we can ‘bythe help of this sentiment or these alliances, put on the bench—the low. settbenches, particularly—persons wh« sam be convinced by the evidence an ‘tl reasoning that we may be able t ‘Scent, that these oppressive arid hu ‘miliating practices are inherently un imft and therefore “against publi {p@licy.” ‘Grant if you will that the court de cited against us on a technicality. 1 ‘would probably have been just a ‘ity, had they been so dispose ‘or had public opinion so dispose ‘thm, to have found reasons oF tech tnféalities on which to have founded ‘fevorable decision. And this asser ‘tion is no reflection on their honest ‘or‘integrity. It is merely a recogni ‘tin of their humanness. pie ATAXIA LEGIS The executive arm of our govern. ment becomes strangely paralyzed ‘Wiftnever the Negra or his interests are concerned; and, the same execu- tive forees become galvanized into vigorous activity for almost any other ‘etitise that may engage their attention. ‘Witness, if you will, the ease with ‘Wilich the presidential pen drafts or- er whereby the beloved(?) Eigh- ‘tettith Amendment to the Constitu- ‘tion is to be sustained by making stiite officers function as Federal of- ‘fiditils when occasion requires. ‘Phat is quite legal; but those same fliers may with impunity violate ‘ttie*spirit and the letter of the post ‘GWil-War amendments to that same det cid Constitution, andthe execu- tivé’hdhds of our government condone the wWiolations or evasions by. finding wo "tieans whereby ‘the Federal author- fties*may intrude.themselves into mat rs which it is said—the States PHOULD handle. ‘Fine sophistry, his.

HARVARD” Answers - the Question HELD FOR MURDER SENATE COMMIT IN DEATH OVER TEE PIGEON HOLES GAME ANTI-LYNCHING A coroner's jury on Monday ordered Arthur C. ("Red") Tennant, white, 39 years old, of 2141 K Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death last Saturday night of Louis Randolph, 24 years old, a roofer at 3505 Volta Place, Northwest. "Red" Tennant, a former policeman, stabbed Randolph in the thigh during an altercation over a crap game in the store of Mack Sacks at 3233 M Street, Northwest, known as the New York Market. He used a long-bladed butcher knife. Randolph was removed to the Georgetown University hospital in the No. 7 precinct where he died at 11:30 p.m., Saturday night, an hour and fifteen minutes after the stabbing occurred. Death was due to a hemorrhage and shock resulting from the stab wound. In a death statement to police officers, Randolph named "Red" Tennant as his assailant. Lying on the operating table in the emergency room of the Georgetown University hospital, he said that he and Tennant had been playing "craps" in the back of Mack Sack's store. Tennant had won $30 from him, he told the officers, and wanted to quit. He did not want Tennant to quit, he stated, and an argument resulted, and Tennant picked up the knife and stabbed him. From the testimony given at the inquest by Mack Sacks, it appeared that he had gone into the cellar where the two men were shooting dice and found them engaged in an argument. He testified that he found Randolph sitting on Tennant. He said that he Tennant in the eye. Police officers, however, denied that there was any marks about Tennant's eye showing that he had been struck. The two men came into the store. Sacks testified, and all of a sudden both men grabbed for knives lying on the meat block. Sacks said he grabbed Tennant, while his clerk caught Randolph. The stabbing occurred so quickly that neither Sacks nor Robert H. Gross, his clerk, saw it, declared. Gross testified that afterwards he saw the bloody knife in the hands of Tennant. The office of United States Attorney Gordon agreed to the release of Tennant in bonds of $5,000. Attorney James A. O'Shea is representing Tennant.

In an executive session Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 8 to 4 refused to report favorably the McKinley antilynching bill. The motion for a favorable report was made by Senator Richard P. Ernest, Republican, of Kentucky. It was supported by Senators Albert B. Cummins, Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the committee; Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, and Henry F. Ashurst, Democrat of Arizona. Senators who are reported to have voted against a favorable report are William E. Borah, of Idaho; Rice W. Means, of Colorado, and John W. Harreld, of Oklahoma, Republicans; Lee S. Overman, of North Carolina; James A. Reed, of Missouri; Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana; T. H. Caraway, of Arkansas, and William H. Knig, of Utah, Democrats. The bill, which was introduced by Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, December 8, 1925, remains before the committee, and its proponents say they will make another effort to have it reported. Its opponents predicted, however, that they would be able to send the measure to the Senate with an unfavorable report. Hearings were held on the McKinley antilynching bill on February 16. On February 22, a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee favorably reported the measure to the full committee. Senator Deneen immediately moved a favorable report by the full committee. Action was deferred. At the next meeting of the committee a Senator moved that action be postponed on the bill until after the House had acted on a similar measure introduced by Represenative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri. Upon motion of Senator Deneen no action was taken. On May 3, action on the bill was again postponed by the committee on motion of one of the opponents. On May 17, the bill was brought up again and a favorable report was defeated by a vote of -8 to 4. Under the terms of the bill, it would be a felony for any State or municipal officer, charged with the duty or possessing the authority to protect the life or person of any individual who may be injured or put to death by a mob, who fails to perform his duty. Conviction would carry with it punishment by imprisonment not exceeding five years or by a fine not exceeding $500, or both fine and imprisonment. The bill would also confe rupon the United States district court of the Judicial district in which a person is injured or put to death by a 'mob', jurisdiction to try and punish those who participate in accordance with state laws whenever it appears that the State officers will not perform their duties. A county in which a lynching took place would be required to forfeit $10,000 to the state of the victim. Peoples Sell Peoples Sell It For Less! A Bather's Needs!

MECCA TEMPLE TO ENTER- TAIN WITHOUT COST TO NOBLES MECCA TEMPLE TO ENTER- TAIN WITHOUT COST TO NOBLES Following the traditions of Shrine-dom, founded upon Mohammedan customs of Arabia and Egypt, Mecca Temple No. 10 will give a smoker to its membership on Friday, June 4, at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of Pythian Temple. The affair is exclusively for the nobles of the temples and such members of other temples as may happen to be in the city. Any Nobles from any Temple of the jurisdiction is urged to partake of these strangely blender social and ceremonial functions that are intended to stimulate interest in the temple and enthusiasm in the nobility. The treasury of the temple sustains the cost so that no member or guest has any charge against him. The smoker among Shriners is something akin to a revival among church folks in its results, and it precedes the annual pilgrimage to "Mecca" typified in the Imperial Council meeting, this year in Boston in August. Noble Stephen D. Bluitt assisted by Nobles Charles E. Stewart, Imperial Publicist, J. A. Jackson, John R. Ashton, J. H. Hankerson, Wm. Pannell, Robert Dogans and J. A.

The final game was replete with thrills The Semester 8 team ended their hall of the eighth inning with a score of 24 and the Semester 4's came to bat with a score of 14. They staged a batting rally and passed the Senior scores by making 14 runs, enough to win by four points. The score was Semester 4, 28. Semester 8, 24. The umpire for the final game was Sydney Stokes. The girls were coached by members of the physical training staff and showed remarkable proficiency in a sport that has long been a heritage of boys. The girls were good on fly balls and batting, but were slow in getting the ball from a play to first or a base. Over a dozen girls in each semester went through the season sticking to the team. Many other girls learned to play the game which promises more interesting contests in the future. Players on the losing team were: Malinda Miller, Ida Pannell, Mary Miller, Fredonia Johnson, Beatrice Goins, Klotha Springgs, D. Lewis, Bernice Swann, and Lillian Johnson. Winners in the finals were: Grace Sauders, Eda Burke, Alma Perkins, Miriam Lee, Henrietta Grant, Edina Ridgeley, B.

LeDROIT TIGERS SWAMP WASH- INGTON GIANTS By Chas. ("Flash") Robeson The LeDroit Tigers swamped the Washington Giants in their first league game of the season by the score of 20-8. Several new faces appeared in the champ's line-up, greatly improving the playing of the champs. Cook, a product of the St. Louis Giants, appeared on the far corner; Hope, a substitute of several years' standing took care of the middle sack in great style while W. Adams, the nephew of our good "old" Babe Adams pitched a very good game, while in need of more experience, he showed signs of a good twirler. His batting was the feature of the game; getting two homers and two singles out of five times at bat. The second game between the Orientals and LeDroit Tigers ended in a dispute over a decision of Umpire Barber with the Orientals in the lead. The game was thrown out by the league officials on Monday night and will be played over Sunday, May 30 at J o'clock on the grounds at South Capitol and P Streets. On the diamond at Deanwood, the Deanwood team lost both contests; the first game went to the Saint Cyprians by the score of 9 to 4 and the second to the newly organized Myrtle A. C. by the score 14 to 11. The playing of the three teams was far below the standard, although the first game at times flashed forth some good baseball. Box scores: First Game LeDroit Tigers .....140 165 03—20 Wash. Giants .....101 012 1—8 R Batteries: W. Adams and Lewis; L. Williams, Briscoe; J. Williams and Fisher. Second Game MARYLAND WHITE SOX-WIN ELEVENTH STRAIGHT ELEVENTH STRAIGHT The Maryland White Sox won their eleventh straight game of this season when they defeated the Baltimore Black Sox in a twin bill, winning the first game by a score of 10 to 2, and the nightcap, 5 to 1. Weldon and Johnson pitched great ball for the White Sox. Saturday, the White Sox are playing the Afro-Americans and Sunday they meet the Stonewall A. C. and Piedmont Tigers of Baltimore in twin bill. Monday, the Sox play a double-header with the Silver Moon Athletic Club. AUTO STARTERS REPAIRED TUNGAR BATTERY STATION POTOMAC 2552 707 B ST. N.W.

BURGESS, D.P.A. 1510 H. Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. HAS LONG BEEN SUPPOSED MARKIED Mamie Smith, the vaudeville, cabaret and club singer who achieved international fame as the first Negro woman to have her voice recorded on phonograph records, and who since, has acquired a considerable fortune travelling at the head of her own show under the management of Ocey Wilson, a reputed "husband," has startled her public by marrying Creed Johnson, a stage hand at the Howard Theatre in this city on Monday, May 24. The ceremony was performed by Rev. L. E. Keiser of Walker Memorial Baptist Church in his home at 2014 Eleventh Street, Northwest. The application for a marriage license gave the age of Miss Smith as being 35, and that of Mr. Johnson as 28 years. Miss Smith came to Washington last week with her company in charge of Frank White and it was announced that Mr. Wilson was sick in bed at the family home in New York City. The show closed its tour here with Sunday night's performance and many of the members of the cast left the city before Miss Smith and Creed Johnson had commended their surprising marriage. For about eight years, Miss Smith and Ocey Wilson have travelled about the country together and they were received everywhere as legally married people. No news of a disruption had preceded the recent marriage, nor had any of the professional writers, nor any of the large public, many of whom had entertained both of them, ever suspected that they were other than legitimately married people. The family home at 244 West 130 Street, New York is where Wilson is supposed to be waiting for Miss Smith to close her tour. It is not known which of them hold title to the property though it is generally mentioned as Miss Smith's property. Her mother conducts a roaming-house at the premises. The new husband is a well known character about Seventh and T Streets. BURLESOUE FRANCHISES "Seven Eleven" has been dropped from the Columbia Burlesque circuit for next season according to the franchise holders list released last week in New York. Jack Goldberg, manager of the show however has been granted a franchise, and it is reported that he will have a new show ready for the time on August first. Jimmy Cooper, former manager of the Howard Theater, has been granted a franchise for a mixed show. "Lucky Sambo" and "Rarin to Go" will both be seen on the circuit again next year. John L. Robinson who has been handling the business end of matters for "Dusty" Murray and his company advises that he will rename in Philadelphia for longer time. He will get mail at 1023 Cradwick Street until further notice. PROFESSIONAL CARDS Cards with one-line bold-faced type, 75 cents for one insertion; four insertions for two dollars.

Jackson, Elected President; Manager and Secretary, Re-elected The Board of Directors of the Colored Actors Union held a session last Sunday, that had been postponed for a month due to the absence of a quorum at the regular session scheduled for the third Sunday in April. The principal business before the board was the election of executive officers. J. A. Jackson, of the Washington Tribune staff, long known in the show business as "Billboard" Jackson, a name applied to him during his six years service on the staff of the theatrical publication, The Billboard, who conducted the negotiations between the union and the directors of the Theater Owners Booking Association at its annual meeting in Chattanooga, was elected president of the union. Telfair Washington who has been secretary of the C.A.U., since the inception of the organization was unamously re-elected to that office. S. H. Dudley, treasurer and, business manager was likewise re-elected with a unanimous vote. Eugene Hooten, J. Henri Bowman and Sam Robinson were elected vice-presidents. The directors voted a salary of $50 per year for the secretary; and passed a resolution providing that the retiring president, Jules McGarr, together with the incumbent and the re-elected manager and secretary should be made life members exempt from dues. Seven of the board of directors elected for this year were in attendance at the meeting. Bart Kennett, Chief Deputy as well as director called the meeting to order, Henri Bowman invoked the blessing, and the session was called to order in the union offices in the Midcity Building. Other directors answering to the roll call were Sammy Graham, Telfair Washington, S. H. Dudley, Garnet Warbington and J. A. Jackson. The absentees were Jules McGarr, Al Wells, and Wesley Wilson whose shows are on tour and playing distant points; and Eugene Hooten whose home is in Baltimore. The meeting adjourned to call in executive session on Wednesday afternoon for consideration of plans for the annual ramble, the appointment of deputies and of standing committees together with such other business as may properly come before the directors. The broad gauge views of the problems of the profession, and the seriousness with which the union officers are surveying the difficulties that beset their calling was reflected in the complete harmony with which the session was characterized. CALLED STARS OF WHITE SHOW BY N.Y. DAILIES Miller and Lyles have been heralded by New York Sunday papers and the dailies as the "Principal temptations to laugh" in the new Shubert production "Temptations of today" the latest Broadway musical comedy. The two colored comedians, only Race members in the cast, were honored with a fifty inch picture in the N.Y. World last Sunday. The cut was four columns wide. Other Sunday papers carried pictures nearly as large. This sort of publicity cannot be bought for anyone. J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE 1930 ALBERT W. JACKSON One of the principal comedians of the "Runnin' Wild" show, playing the - Howard Theater next week. He is a son of J. A. Jackson, editor of this page. REPUBLIC THEATER Sunday and Monday, May 30, 31, Rin Tin Tin, the wonder dog, in "The Clash of the Wolves." This is Rin Tin Tin's most appealing picture. The mighty story of a pack of wolves who are driven from the forests by a tremendous fire, sweeping down upon the cattle country, ravaging, pillaging, spreading terror; a story of a man and a maid who befriended Lobo (Rin Tin Tin) the wounded leader of the pack; a tale of fine heroism and swift action. Extra added attraction, chapter four of "Fighting Hearts." From Tuesday to Friday inclusive is presented "Brown of Harvard" the greatest drama of football and college life ever brought to the screen. In the cast are Francis X. Bushman, Jr., Mary Brian, Mary Alden, Jack Pickford and William Haines (as Tom Brown) The story is of Tom Brown of Harvard who disgraces himself by causing the university to lose a crew race with Yale, and loses his sweetheart to his rival. He regains her favor and popular esteem by spectacular playing on the football team. The picture itself has caught the spirit of modern youth. Brown, the part that William Haines portrays, is typical of the modern college youth. On the surface he is flippant, a "wisecracker," conscious of his good looks, and his way with women, but withual mentally clean and with a keen sense of honor. "Brown of Harvard" is clean entertainment for everyone in the family. Saturday, June 5, one day only, a first-run picture, "The Speed Limit" with a star cast. On the stage, special talent at 7:30 and 9:30. A great bill! AUTO BATTERIES RECHARGED TUNGAR BATTERY STATION POTOMAC 3562 707 R St. N.W. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE JACKSON News of Theatres, Parks KSON'S TI Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The D "RUNNIN' WILD" AT HOWARD On next Monday, Irving Miller will present at the Howard Theater, Miller and Lyles big hit, "Runnin' Wild." Mr. Miller was the producer of Liza Broadway Rastus and many others. "Runnin' Wild" will be presented with the original production headed by Gaston and A. W. Jackson. Many great numbers, including the Charleston Ensemble, the Ghost Ensemble, the Belles of Jimtown and the "Runnin' Wild" Four. There are ten scenes and each one a novelty. Others in the cast include May Barnes, Georgette Harvey, John Anderson, Mose Williams and a company of forty. The chorus is large and efficient and quite pleasing in appearance. The young women can dance and certainly with their soft mellow voices, they impart much of the harmony to the songs, making the entertainment one that must leave only pleasing memories. This colossal production, which will play only a brief engagement here, should be seen. A midnight show every Friday. Continuous performance from 2:30 to 11 p.m., no advance in admission price. Next week, Drake and Walker present their Cyclonic Jazz Band. Brown and Brown are now playing dates in Chicago. All Acts, Companies a Communica T. O. (THEATRE OWNERS CHATTANO SAM. E.

MORE DOUBLE LETTERS FREE TICKETS TO THE DUNBAR AND BROADWAY THEATRES GIVEN FOR TEN-WORD Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of at least ten words, each word containing double letters, written with pencil. FREE TICKETS TO DUNBAR AND BROADWAY THEATRES NO SENTENCES TAKEN OVER THE TELEPHONE This feature will entail a little literary gymnastics. You are to make a complete sentence of not less than ten words; each word must contain one set of double letters. Here is a sample line: "All's well! good laddies!" suddenly yelled Commodore Dolittle, assuming com- mand, speedily attacking three muti- neers. The main things to bear in mind are: Each sentence must contain not less than ten words. Each word must contain double letters; if more than ten words are used, they, too, must contain double letters. Do not make two words of one word such as "foot ball" (two words) for "football" (one word). Hyphenated words are.permissable. The Washington Tribune will give one ticket each for the best sentences made according to the requirements made here. The tickets will be good for admission to the Dunbar Theatre or the Broadway Theatre for the week of SORORITY AWARDS CASH PRIZES IN LITERARY CONTEST your s least, j in.

Dear Editor: I am so glad to see the double letter words contest back on our page again. I did not send in a sentence this week but I am going to try next week, so please be sure to print it again. The contest is a good one. It makes me put on my thinking cap, even my parents have tried to make sentences. Mother and I try it and sometimes she makes the best sentences, but she does not let me use any of her sentences. I hope that I will win a ticket to the theatre. I am anxious to win tickets when I can see Douglas Fairbanks. Love to all of the Tribunites.
