BISHOP GRECC NAMED PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIV. ACCEPTANCE YET IN DOUBT Confirmation of Cobb Stands PHOTO BY SCORLOCK IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION BISHOP ACCEPTANCE YET IN DOUBT ```markdown ``` Vol 6. No. 3 TRUSTEES HEAR ANNUAL REPORTS For the first time in the history of Howard University, a colored man has been elected its president. He is Bishop John Andrew Gregg of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, whose diocese is South Africa. His election occurred Tuesday afternoon after the board of trustees of Howard University had reached a deadlock in the morning session when a boom for the Rev. Mordecan Johnson, a pastor, of Charleston W. Va., failed to sweep him into the presidency. Dr. J. E. Moorland was also a strong contender. Prof. Charles Wesley was eliminated from consideration by opposition of some members of the faculty. The name of Bishop Gregg was presented by the nominating committee that was appointed to recommend a successor to Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, whose resignation becomes effective June 30. This committee was composed of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dr. Albert Bushnell-Hart, John R. Hawkins, Dr. Sara W. Brown, General John H. Sherburne, Dr. M. O. Dumas and Dr. U. G. B. Pierce. His election was unanimous. Bishop Gregg is said to have previously declined the presidency of Howard University when the nominating committee informally tendered it to him. A committee was appointed to ascertain whether or not he will now accept. The members of this committee are Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, John R. Hawkins, and Dr Jesse E. Moorland. Bishop Gregg was born in Eureka, Kan., February 18, 1877. He graduated from the Eureka High School in 1896, Southern Kansas Academy in 1897, and Kansas State University with the degrees of bachelor of arts in 1902. He married Celia Anna Nelson, of Lawrence, Kan., August 21, 1900. He taught school of Oskaloosa, Kan., 1902-3. He was a missionary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to Cape Colony, South Africa, 1903-6. He taught in mission schools and was principal of the Chatsworth Mechanical and Normal Institute. He served as pastor of the A.M.E. Church in Leavenworth, Kan., 1906-8, and in St Joseph, Mo., 1908-13. He became president of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla. Oct. 1, 1913. In June, 1920, he was elected president of Wilberforce University. At the general conference of (Continued on page 4) The Washington Tribune NATIONAL LIBRARY. S. E. T NG ON The PUBLISHED WEEKLY GREGG Conf Dunbar Con HOWARD PRESI- DENGY MUCH DISCUSSED The selection of a bishop for the presidency of a university is virtually without precedent, and the general public expresses a variety of opinions concerning the naming of John A. Gregg, junior bishop of the A. M. E. Church as president of Howard University. Bishop Gregg, despite his scattered activities, is not so well known to the Washington public as one might suppose. Many of the Howard alumni admitted ignorance of the bishop's educational qualifications when approached by the Tribune in its effort to survey opinion upon the matter. However, in the main, opinion was much in the bishop's favor. Definite expression is difficult to obtain pending word of his acceptance or rejection of the tender. It is reported that a few weeks ago that he declined an offer of the place to members of the committee of trustees charged with making a selection. However, it was stated in the meeting of the full board that his acceptance need not be doubted. Bishop I. N. Ross, in charge of this district of the A. M. E. Church, said that the only precedent for the naming of a bishop to the presidency of a college was the record of Bishop Payne as head of Wilberforce College, a strictly church institution. In his interview with the Tribune, he said: "In the absence of knowledge as to Bishop Gregg's attitude as to acceptance or rejection of the tender, I am in no position to be quoted upon the matter without probable embarrassment to one or more of the several interests involved." The position of the alumni was perhaps expressed by the national president of the widely scattered Howard University graduate body, Reverend George Frazier Miller of Brooklyn, New York, who declared: "We, as a body, are resigned to the selection of the board of trustees. We had not thought of Bishop Gregg, inasmuch as we were contending for a Howard man. We were for Kelly Miller, with Dwight Holmes as an alternative and confined our activities to those names. However, we will give our wholehearted support to Dr. Gregg, who to the alumni, represents the achievement of our major ambition for a president of our own group at Howard. We hope he will accept, for his declination means that the trustees must seek farther, and, they may do worse." Counsellor at law R. R. Horner, a Howard alumnus, combats the view held by some that the bishop would in some measure desecrate his holy office to abandon the bishopric for a post at Howard. He says: "There are many bishops in the great A.M.E. Church who may carry on the religious work; but there are few Negroes capable of administering a great university. He is an honor to have been called to Howard; and, it is a credit to any man to have a call to direct the education of our youth." Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds, and a Howard graduate, dismisses the subject with the curt statement: "I have too many troubles now to intrude myself into the Howard presidency. I am of the opinion that such educational work is a big enough job for a specialist who has devoted his life to preparing for just that. Perhaps the trustees know better, though. It's their job, not mine." Solomon Porter Hood, minister to Liberia, is still on leave. That is the only reason the State Department would give for his protracted stay in this country. When Minister Hood first returned to the United States from Liberia, illness was assigned as the reason for his return. The report has since become current that he is involved in financial difficulties. The State Department has no knowledge of any financial difficulties in which he may be involved, officials declared, Monday. Such matters would be purely personal, it was said, and the State Department would not be interested in them. Meanwhile there is pending legislation to increase the salary of the minister to Liberia from $5,000 to $10,000 a year. The enactment of this legislation has been urged by President Coolidge. In the report of the then acting Secretary of State, Joseph C. Grew, it was stated that "with the cost of living at Monrovia for a foreigner being even higher than it is in the United States, it is impossible for the American minister, unless he be a man of large means, to meet the requirements of diplomatic life and his family necessities on the small salary now granted to the post." The State Department does not know when Mr. Hood intends to return to his post in Liberia. WHITE INSURANCE CO. REFUSES TO SELL INSURANCE TO NEGROES Chicago, June 8-The Travelers Insurance Company has issued an edict declining to insure or to re-insure Negro railway employees. The reason for this action was that the loss of money through bogus claims made the business unprofitable. MINISTERS OF CITY MEET The Interdenominational Ministers Alliance of Washington met last Tuesday, at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. C. L. Russell who surrendered a pulpit in this city to assume a national office with his church presided. The principal address of the meeting was delivered by Rev. W. A. Taylor of the Florida Baptist Church who presented a remarkable treatise upon the "Limitations of Science." J. A. Jackson, of the Tribune editorial staff discussed the relations between press and pulpit and a lively and very favorable discussion of the subject followed his talk. Rev. Waldron of Shiloh Baptist Church, Rev. Olden of Plymouth Congregational Church and Rev. Medford of John Wesley participating. These three were named as a committee to plan in detail with the newspapers plans to have the churches exercise a closer contact with the race press. The organization went on record as urging each church to avail themselves of the profitable possibilities of the press, and passed a resolution 'that effect. Mrs. McNeil Succeeds Mrs. Coralie Cook Despite his pernicious activities in promoting residential segregation in the Bloomingdale section, Henry Gilligan, a lawyer, was appointed last Tuesday a member of the board of education by the justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Mrs. Alice McNeill was appointed to succeed Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, who has served on the board of education for twelve years, or longer than any other member in its history. Mrs. Cook was the chairman of the personnel committee. Charles F. Carusi, dean of the National University Law School, was re-appointed. He was originally appointed to fill the unexpired term of James T.-Lloyd, former president, who resigned. Gilligan succeeds Ernest Greenwood, vice-president of the board, who several months ago advised the judges that he did not desire a re-appointment. Gilligan is the president of the North Capitol Citizens Association, which has been active in restricting the ownership and occupation of property in Photo by Scurloch Mrs. ALICE McNEILL the Bloomingdale section to white persons. As the result of a meeting of this association in November; 1923, a mob sought to intimidate three colored property owners in this section. This mob on November 6, 1923, visited the homes of William L. Clarkk, 143 U Street, Northwest, Prof. W. W. Wood, 127 W Street, Northwest, and Lawrence Prince, next to the Woodard home, and delivered an ultimatum ordering them to move. This trouble in this section was said to have been fostered by Gilligan. Mrs. McNeill is the wife of Dr. William C. McNeill, of 1423 T Street, Northwest, and has three children attending the public schools. Before her marriage she was a teacher in the Dunbar High School. She was educated in the public schools of Hart- (Continued on page A) Louis Borno, president of Haiti, is coming to Washington. He sailed from Port-au-Prince last Sunday and will arrive Friday at New York. He will come here immediately and remain probably about five days. A suite at the Mayflower, the capital's most palatial hotel has been engaged. He will be accompanied by Mme. Borno. President and Mme. Borno are coming to the United States to pay their respects to President and Mrs. Coolidge and to visit the sesquicentennial exposition at Philadelphia, according to State Department advises. They may also visit the Eucharistic Congress in Chicago. Advices from opposition parties in Haiti say that the motives of this trip of President Borno are being kept secret. There is great alarm all over the republic about this trip, it is said. Some of the Haitians believe that the purpose of this trip is to arrange with New York bankers the floating of another loan of $16,000,000. These unofficial reports say that Dr. Cumberland, the American financial adviser, is also accompanying President Borno. General Russell, the American High Commissioner, and Judge Strong have already arrived in the United States. Perivalel Thoby, former attache of the legation here, who is now in Haiti, advises that there has been so much waste of public funds that the Republic of Haiti is on the verge of bankruptcy. "Even with the increasing of the customs duties and the new taxes contemplated," he declares, "it will be difficult to meet Haiti's financial obligations. With a loan, they will try to hide the true situation and delay the inevitable date of the bankruptcy. Incompetency and bad faith are the main causes of the actual financial state of things." One other reason is assigned for this visit of President Borno. It is that he intends to lay before President Coolidge documents to prove that his father was a Haitian citizen and consequently he is eligible to the Haitian presidency. Haitians have contended that under the Haitian constitution he is ineligible to be president. In the 108 years previous to American intervention, Haiti had twenty-four presidents. Seventeen were deposed by revolutions, two were murdered and the other five died in office—one, it is said, by poison; one in an explosion in the National Palace, and one on the eve of his overthrow by revolutionists. The Haitian minister, M. Hannibal Price, and Mme. Price will entertain the Executive and Mme. Borno at dinner and the Pan-American Union will tender a reception, but the dates for these functions are still tentative and also that on which the President and Mrs. Coolidge will entertain the head of the black republic at dinner. The Haitian minister and Mme. Price will be the hosts of their president and his wife and will be their constant attendants. Mr. V. V. Oak, a Hindu philosopher of India, will speak at the B.Y.P.U. at Metropolitan Baptist Church, on R Street, between 12th and 13th Streets, Sunday, June 13 at 7 o'clock p.m. Come and hear him.

SENATE ACTS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION The U. S. Senate sitting in executive session Thursday afternoon declined to reconsider the confirmation of James A. Cobb for the place on the Municipal Court bench to which he was appointed by President Coolidge of February 15th. He was confirmed on March 17, after having been violently opposed by several interests to such an extent as to warrant an investigation by the Department of Justice and public hearings. However, the investigations and hearings resulted in it being said that Mr. Cobb's name had gone before the Senate with higher recommendations than had many names submitted for much higher places. Upon motion of Senator Pat Harrison on Thursday, March 20, to reconsider the vote, the confirmation was held up. Thursday's action removes, this obstruction and the confirmation stands. Just so soon as Mr. Cobb can take the oath of office, he may begin to function. Judge Cobb is a bachelor. He was born in Arcadia, La., January 28, 1876. He was educated at Straight University and Fisk. He took his bar examination in the District of Columbia in 1901 after a course in law at Howard University where he now occupies a chair as Professor of negotiable instruments and Constitutional law. He has served as special assistant U. S. Attorney in the office for the District of Columbia and was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in Chicago in 1920. The municipal court judgeship to which he was appointed pays a salary of $5200 per year. He has been practicing law with offices at 613 F Street, Northwest. VIRGINIA'S SEGREGATION LAWS ATTACKED BY WHITES Alexandria, Va., June 8—The United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia today is hearing two suits involving the Modern Woodmen of the World Society, a Negro fraternal organization with white officers, one for an accounting. Judge J. K. M. Norton (white) represents the present officers, the application for a charter naming him as great protector. In April an injunction was issued restraining the use of funds. The other suit is against the Commonwealth of Virginia and William P. Wools, Commonwealth attorney, filed by H. Noel Garner and J. Wm. May, (all white) as officers of the society, to have declared unconstitutional the recent statute passed by the State Legislature which prohibits orders admitting both white and colored people in Virginia. The statute was drafted by Robert Thomas, an attorney who formerly lived here, and Mr. Thomas this morning stated that the law was not to discriminate against Negroes but to protect them against wildcat insurance companies. Mr. Thomas and D. C. O'Flaherty, of Richmond, are representing the attorney general in the hearing today. --- LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO LOCAL Rev.

Street, N.W. NOTE THIS DANCE The Washington Tribune THE HOWARD PRESIDENCY The trustees of Howard University have selected Bishop John A. Gregg, of the A.M.E. Church for the presidency of the university to succeed Dr. Durkee, who has resigned. The selection is an excellent one. Dr. Gregg's acceptance is assumed, despite the knowledge that he once declined the tender within the past few weeks. He is well fitted for the requirements of the post. He is a highly educated man, experienced in both pedagogical and administrative phases of college work and his present lofty place in the realm of church work makes clear the fact that he is an outstanding disciple of religion, a very dominant factor in educational institutions. He is a temperate and progressive man. Dr. Gregg's appointment emphasizes the new epoch in Negro culture. That conservative Howard should respond to the cry of the new Negro marks a great day in race history. Dr. Stanley Durkee passes on to more congenial service in the quiet of the pastorate of a church. He was a good man who gave unstintingly according to his lights to the school he has headed for eight years. Dr. Durkee, like the last of the Mohicans, stood stoically by the traditions he represented. Negro education was born of a combination of New England love for the down-trodden, and the kindly master spirit such as that of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Shelby" in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This combination created an atmosphere of patronage toward those who benefited by the schooling made available to the Negro. The Negro's show of appreciation for these educational opportunities tended to give stimulus to the growth of a superior complex in those who conducted our schools. The past two decades has witnessed a new type of Negro, an educated, self-assured type fully capable of commanding his own institutions, and in recent days, loudly asserting his right to that responsibility. The kindly master type of white educator in Negro colleges can not attune himself to such new notions, hence is out of harmony with the times. It is inevitable that such types should go when their usefulness has been exhausted. Situated where these two epochs meet, would make Dr. Durkee's passing from Howard just a little tragic were it not for the reward that awaits him in Brooklyn. The selection of Dr. Gregg marks the accomplishment of the major contention of the alumni. That a Howard man was not named, is to the more radical among them somewhat of a disappointment; but so is all of life. They have a president of their own race group, if not one of their more limited graduate group. Not all university presidents matriculated in the schools over which they preside. The trustees have not violated their trust to see that the school is efficiently administered; and the student body has had granted to them the sympathetic understanding that can only come from one of their own blood. Whether Dr. Gregg will accept the position, is not yet known as this is written; but should he, the traditions of the church will have been shattered by an unprecedented action. No bishop has ever before resigned that high office or taken leave from it to respond to the call of a school. How the public will view such a move remains to be seen. Accepted or not, the Howard trustees have responded to the demands of its students and graduates. That's a step forward. POLITICAL CARNIVALS—NOT CONTESTS "Peace on earth, Good will to men," is a nice Christmas sentiment; and it makes a good guide to general conduct. But no one recalls that its application has ever held much virtue as a producer of political issues. Some of our elders recall the time when the populace took its politics seriously, and when campaigns were vigorous prosecutions of the issues that grew out of congressional actions or inaction. Opposing parties lambasted one another with verbal clubs. Quarter was neither sought nor granted. In those days of candid differences, the Ne- AGE FOUR gro was regarded for what he was worth as a voter. As a group, we profited by the political sincerity of the times. Men and parties were either for or against us, and, we knew it by the things they did for or against us. Not so, today. No longer is the bludgeon used. Senatorial courtesy, and kindred niceties have become the prevalent procedures. Party and party promises may go hang, if the polite amenities are to be outraged for a mere adherence to principles or redemption of promises. Wonder what the shades' of the big lawmakers of other days would think if they could but know of the confetti throwing battles between political parties of today. To those classes whose position is assured, and whose rights and immunities are not assailed, these carnivals of conviviality may be permissible even pleasing, but to those suffering from real social and civil maladies, these diversions offer no relief nor any prospect of MILITANT HYPOCRISY General Lee Bullard is the author of an article that appeared in the N.Y. Herald Tribune of May 23, on how to obtain world peace. The predominant argument in the article is to the effect that prejudice and emotion must not be permitted to interfere with adjustments and relations between persons, races or nations. For the reader's information, it may be recalled that this is the same General Bullard who made his bow as a writer in a series of articles, later put into book form, in which his Southern prejudices and race hating rancor were permitted to so control him as to prompt his blaspheming of history in order to calumniate the Negro soldiers of the late war. He spared neither those who made the supreme sacrifice nor those who returned to their homes decorated with the medals and insignia of heroes. Fine follow he is to prate about prejudice and war avoidance. MUSIC FORUM MUSIC FORUM NEW ORGAN AT SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH The new organ in Shiloh Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, pastor, has aroused unusual interest among church and music folks generally since the reopening on April 4th. It is the center of interest and attraction to both members and visitors alike. The new organ is the oustanding attraction with Edward M. Syphax, organist, as the original designer and immediate sponsor, and it shall stand as one of the greatest achievements in his life's career educationally and musically. The organ is a master specification, adroitly planned and executed. Professor Syphax was a former pulpit of Dr. Bishcoff, organist of First Congregational Church for forty years. Concerning the organ proper, we quote the designer directly as follows: as follows: "I wish to emphasize that in designing the Shiloh organ, the only thing in mind was equipping the church with the means of conducting the most impressive religious service possible, and not for the purpose of being able to say that Shiloh can boast the largest, most modern and only four-manual organ with an echo division in this country to be found in a church belonging to our race." This statement speaks for itself and incidentally marks the calibre of man necessitating no further comment. Description of Organ A brief description of the organ follows: The organ comprises four manuals, i.e. great or grand organ, swell organ, choir organ, and echo organ together with a pedal organ of 32 notes. There is a total number of pipes in the organ to the amount of 1783, and in addition to this there is a harp, 49 notes, and 25 chimes which are located with the echo organ placed above the ceiling at the rear of the church. Besides the 34 speaking stops, there are 28 coupler tablets, 24 adjustable combination pistons, 6 pedal movements, 3 tremolos, besides the various indicator lights. The console is so arranged that every tablet piston is within easy reach of the organist, is very artistic and entirely trimmed with South African mahogany. There is a full complement of diapason, flute, string, and reed-tones. The case work is very rich quarter-saw oak, the front display pipes being decorated in French gold bronze. Tellers-Kent Organ Co., of Erie, Pa., installed the organ. The purchase, sales and repair committee is composed of Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor, and chairman; Dea- con John S. Branom, vice-president; James A. Payne, secretary; Andrew J. Wythers, assistant secretary; Deacon J. W. Freeman, Samuel W. Frost and Harry L. Derricotte. lard of Charlottesville, Va.; George W.

He was kindly represented however by Messrs. John L. Cole, pupil of Leopold Godowsky, and R. D. Carlton Dorsey, violinist, as follows: Bernard S. Walton Senior Recital By John L. Cole Bernard S. Walton's program given in Rankin Memorial Chapel May 27th was opened with sonata, opus 26. Beethoven, in andante, con variazione, scherzo, rondo. Technic was clear, concise with florid melodies in tonal coloring showing depths of feeling as if inspired. His next offering was a Chopin group of three preludes. His best work was done in opus 28. No. 6, with his beautiful singing tone which held his audience spellbound, reaching great heights in his climaxes. The modern numbers were the Hurdy Gurdy Man, Goossens; Lento, Cyril Scott; Will O' the Wisp, Philipp; program ending with Liszt's Rhapsody, No. 17. He showed mastery of light and shade, tones were silvery, falling from his fingers as pearls dropping with dazzling sunshine and warmth upon nature's floor. Mr. Walton is endowed with youth and his ability as a young artist reflected great credit upon his teacher, Prof. Roy W. Tibbs. We predict a great future for him. Armstrong High School Program By R. B. Cockrum (Douglas) By R. D. Carlton Dorsey The program at Armstrong High School aroused great interest and enthusiasm and the chorus work was both refreshing and inspiring. The young ladies' voices, were appealingly sweet and resonant, ringing out clear and true. In the boy's chorus there were some good voices tgo. The orchestra was augmented from outside players yet, I cannot see with players in the school system why it wasn't an all-school affair. Nevertheless, their numbers were well executed under the direction of Ernest Amos and Henry L. Grant, and were enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, said in part: "The school board and superintendent are satisfied with the work in the music department. The school board is indebted to the music department for the splendid showing tonight. It is the intention to bring artists of renown here that the children may hear and take in the best in musical art." Miss Josephine Muse, soprano, sang a solo part in the closing numbers with the audience. Professor Wesley Howard's violin contribution "Praeludium and Allegro" (Pugnani-Kreisler), was well received. He refused an encore. Prof. Howard is a fine artist and greatly deserves the recognition accorded his fine violin playing. Miss Marie James, music director, deserves great credit for her fine program with the co-operation of her corps of music teachers, in instilling a greater love for music in the public schools. BISHOP GREGG NAMED PRESIDENT OF H. U. BISHOP GREGG NAMED PRESIDENT OF H. U. (Continued from page 1) the A.M.E. Church in Louisville, Ky., in May, 1924, he was elected to the bishopric and assigned to South Africa. He is at present in the United States. Bishop Gregg was reached by the committee Thursday morning. After being informed officially of his selection, he asked the committee to give him a few days in which to make his decision. This was readily agreed to by the committee. However, no hint was made as to whether the Bishop would accept or not. The annual reports of the administrative officers of the university, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, were presented. Dr. Durkee, reported that the attendance in all departments of the university during the year has aggregated 2155 students from 37 states and 13 foreign countries. Secretary-treasurer's Report The report of Dr. Scott, reviewed the financial condition of the university during the school year, 1925-26, and detailed at some length the general improvements which have taken place in connection with the educational plant of the university, and its expansion in other directions. The greatest improvements during the year has been the completion of the gymnasium-armory and athletic field project at a cost of nearly $300,000, $197,500 of which was appropriated by the Federal Government. He reported that the budget for the year 1925-26 has amounted to $686,745, not including the unexpended portion of the Government appropriation for the new medical building amounting to $363,842. The university budget for 1926-27 as recommended will amount to $558,000. In addition to the Government appropriation for $218,000 for current expenses and equipment, the budget for next year also includes the unexpended portion of the Government appropriation made last year for the new medical building amounting to $370,000.

The winning battalion was then presented to the judges. Major Wormley received a flag and a gold medal. The staff of the battalion received silver medals, and the other officers red, white and blue ribbons. Company A of Dunbar Wins Company Competition When Company A, was designated as the winner of the company competition, the Dunbar section of the grand-stand broke out in wild cheers. When the successful company was presented to the judges, it was presented with the prize flag. The diamond-studded teachers' medal was pinned on Captain Ernest C. Brown, the commanding officer. He will wear this medal until commencement when it will be returned and kept for next year's winner.

Company I—Captain Joseph Somerville; First Lieut. Louis Gaskins and Second Lieut.

It was one of the most orderly assemblages that has ever gathered in the big park. Captain Doyle of the Eight Precinct handled the masses inside and outside the gates with a special squad of picked colored officers assembled from several precincts; they were L. J. Thomas and L. C. Stevenson from No. 2; C. F. Swann and W. E. Scott from No. 3; W. H. Hall and W. Gordon from No. 4; C. E. Addison and W. E. Stewart from No. 11; D. D. Pittman from No. 7; Sheridan Jones from No. 9; and officers W. M. Scott and J. B. Loftus of his own No. 8 precinct. They were under the immediate direction of Sergeants Edward McGuinness and A. W. Guyer. Their handling of the traffic is to be commended. On the inside, the usher work was carried on by a company of the District National Guards under Sergent Dorsey; and Troop 505 of the Box Scouts under Scoutmaster W. C. Glover. This, too, was efficiently handled Soldier Patients as Guests Among the guests on the final day of the contest were a group of ten soldier patients from Walter Reed Hospital, one of whom had served under command of Captain Newman in the World War. In the party were: Addison White, Joe Preston, John Plummer, Luther Gaines, Robert Clark, James Butler, James S. Jones, James Washington and Robert Guinn. They occupied a large box specially reserved for them. A Box Party Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Garnet C. Wilkinson, was host to a box party that included Bishop and Mrs. Hurst, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Peck of Baltimore together with Miss Carrie Manns, Mrs. Grace Wilkinson, Mrs. William Middleton, Mr. and Mrs. S. L. McLauren, Scott Wood and the Rev. W. L. Washington and wife. The Souvenir Booklet "The Cadet," the souvenir program and historical booklet that was sold on the grounds was, a very much more ambitious publication than has been customary. It is indeed a reference volume of keepsake value to one interested in school and military matters. "The Cadet" staff included eleven students from the classes of Journalism "of Dunbar High School working under the supervision of Miss B. C McNeil instructor of Journalism. The layout, editorial qualities and general character of the publication reflects most favorably upon its producers. Murray Brothers printing plant did the mechanical work. COMMENCEMENT AT WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF PHARMACY The commencement exercises of the Washington College of Pharmacy were held Tuesday evening in the auditorium of Dunbar High School, and witnessed by several hundred friends and relatives of the graduates. After the invocation by Rev. J. Alfred Jackson and vocal solos by Miss Gwendolyn Hughes and Mr. Ferroll Gibbs and a violin solo by Mr. Elbert Waters, the dean of the college; Dr. A. C. Burrell, was introduced by Dr. W. H. Jackson, master of ceremonies, Dr. Burrell, gave sketches of the history of the college since its foundation. Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, pastor of Ebenezer M. E. Church, made the principal address of the evening. Following a solo by Mr. Vernon Porter, degrees in pharmacy were conferred on sixteen members of the senior class and honorary degrees on three former graduates in recognition of their activities and interests in behalf of their alma mater. Dr. W. H. Jackson, secretary-treasurer, then spoke briefly on the hopes and aims of the college and what its graduates had done. This was followed by a solo by Dr. C. Sumner Wormley. Its faculty represents the highest type of sacrifice for the betterment of the race—they are men who are successful in business—men who know the practical as well as the theoretical side of their profession—men whose services are sought by other schools at salaries far in excess of any they can ever hope to receive under present conditions for many years to come, yet who remain and give of their best that this school might live and reflect credit upon the race. This institution need not fear comparison with any similar college in the United States. Its former graduating classes have made wonderful records. Already three members of the present graduating class namely, Dr. B. K. Ellis, Dr. A. (Ted) Robinson and Dr. Philip Jones, have, as undergraduates of this school, successfully passed the District Board and have been admitted to practice in this city, before they had completed the full course. No other college in the District of Columbia, or elsewhere for that matter, has ever boasted of such a record. K. Ellis, president; W. L. Sudler, vice- the roster of the class follows; B. K. Ellis, president; W. Sudler, vice- president; T. A. Pusey, secretary; C. P. Love, treasurer; B. E. Thomas, sergeant-at-arms; A. F. Bell; G. W. Beasley, Jr.; P. E. Jones, W. L. McL- mendon, T. A. Rivera, A. T. Robinson, Fannie Foote Thomas, J. T. Walker, J. C. Thornton, D. L. Henderson and P. E. Ricks. Those receiving honor- ary degrees were: Dr. C. Leonard Johnson, Dr. Fred R. Randall, and Dr. William Waters. THE MARGARET MURRAY WASHINGTON VOCATIONAL SCHOOL TO HAVE PLAY AT GRADUATING EXERCISES. The Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School is busy, with plans for the completion of the year and the graduation of the senior class. Every girl in the schools plans to wear a simple inexpensive dress, the product of her own hands. These dresses will emphasize good taste, utility, and workmanship. The pupils in the graduating classes are designing and making their dresses for class night and for Commencement. The class will be arranged to represent the colors of the rainbow. on class night. Rows of soft colors will blend in artistic combination. The graduating dresses are of white silk pongee. They will be simply made, well tailored, and trim. The class officers are: president, Miss Ruth Crawford; secretary, Miss Louise Minor; treasurer, Miss Viola Scott. Class night exercises will be held in the auditorium of the Armstrong High School, Thursday evening, June 17 at eight o'clock. The following program will be given: the class presents a play, "Every School Girl". This play was written by Mrs. Vivian Turner, the instructor of Domestic Science. The school is very proud of portraying a play written by one of its faculty. The play deals with the life of "Every School Girl" who has all the qualities of a pure and beautiful character, namely, health, youth, natural beauty, loyalty, love, modesty, truth, and honesty. She is tempted by the flattery of the "Evil Spirit" and forsakes her former companions seeking "good times." Her conscience tries to keep her from this course but has no influence upon her. She is taken to a number of places ending at the "Palace of Pleasure." Here she is the guest of honor. She enjoys the music and dancing, but finally ties of these and realizes her mistake. She appeals to Conscience who brings her back to her former self. The public is most cordially invited to attend. SERVICES AT JOHN WESLEY "God with His People" was the subject of the pastor, Dr. H. T. Medford of John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets, Northwest, last Sunday at 10:45 a.m. At the evening worship his subject was "Vipers of Summer."

The American Interracial Forum was the name adopted for the assembly which was the fourth which the group has held. Its purposes as set forth in what the members have designated an "Unconstitutional Constitution" are "to organize interracial groups to the end that a spirit of broader understanding might be engendered through the discussion of matters of universal import." The unique constitution is far from being a conventional document in that it is of unusual brevity. The membership fee is "That one should attend meetings enough to feel that one belongs." Financial needs will be met by voluntary contributions. Only one office is filled permanently. Dutton Ferguson is the secretary who fills that place. Each meeting elects its own chairman. J. N.

The successful contestants will touch every known country in the civilized world. It will be be an education in itself and a part of the great Walker policy of racial advancement. There is no doubt but that the successful contestants in this great 25,000 or 30,000 miles trip around the world will return rich in thought and information that will in turn help and enrich those with whom they come in contact. Interest is waxing keen in the contest. Friends of the contestants are beginning to realize just what it means to have them make this trip. The Walker Company is co-operating in every way to help the contestants make contact and friends. It will be interesting to note the winners in this great contest and see them sail on this world jaundit, and to have them return to this country after a four months sojourn around the world.

All-Wool 3-pc. men's BAGE SIX Kid Woodie Knocksout Billey Harris By Fred R. Byrd Before one of the largest crowds of fight followers, gathered at the Kenilworth Arena this season, Kid Woodie, "The Dark Shadow" of the Government Printing Office smashed his way to a knockout victory over wise Billey Harris, the man mauler from Minerville, Pa. At the sound of the first gong Harris came out of his corner and lit into Woodie with both fists flying hammer-first with his right and then with his left in an effort to break down the defense of the "Dark Shadow," but Woodie smiled and kept close until Harris had spent his fury. Then he stepped in lightly and let fly his left with a uppercut which opened a masty gash over Harris' eye. Harris went down for the count of seven. As soon as Harris gained his feet Woodie stepped in again and planted another right hook to the chin. Harris went down and Buck Gallagher, the referee counted him out. This was one of the preliminaries to the Vincent-Dundee-Wee Willie Wiggans scrap staged at Heinie Miller's new Kenilworth Arena. Dundee won by a kayo in the fifth stanza after a clever exhibition of scientific ring work which made little Willie bring the fight to him and as he did so cut him to pieces with left hand uppercuts and right hooks until the fifth round when he let fly that deadly left again and again until Willie hit the deck the second time. When he arose Dundee planted a right hook to the chin which nearly lifted Wiggans off his feet and sent him down and out for the first time in the last fifteen starts. Jack Cafoni and young Denico were the sensation of the entire card and had the crowd in the arena on their feet from the starting bell until time was called with their clever and hard socking exhibition of the manly art, which went to a draw at the end of eight hectic rounds. Marty Gallagher and Walt McFreeley of the Georgetown Law School stepped five fast and furious rounds at the disparity of weights between them, Gallagher 182 lbs., Walt McFreeley 151 lbs. McFreeley although making a game fight for five rounds was saved from a possible knockout when his second threw in the towel. Joe Fila of the mighty Mohawk Club and Jacinto DAssiz two game Philippino boys were the curtain raisers and whetted the appetite of the fight fans for blood, Fila finally got the decision after four fast rounds.

BERTRAM GRASSBY & ETHEL WALLES CINEMA AND ACADEMIA BY GARRETT FOST A PAUL SLOANE PRODUCTION A romantic, thrilling picture of old and new Egypt. Also Chapter Five of "FIGHTING HEARTS" ON THE SCREEN—FIRST TIME SHOWN A great romance of the saw-dust ring. One of the best circus pictures ever brought to the screen. Making their initial appearance in the Union League, the Washington Black Sox took two games from the Oriental Tigers, and the St. Cyprians. In the first game with the Tigers, the score was 1-0 in favor of the Black Sox until the fourth inning when the Orientalals made one run, and the Sox scored five runs, coming back in the sixth and scoring three more. A sensational stop by Brown who fell and then assisted in a double play featured the game. Grant was the master of the Orinetsals all the way. In the second game, the St. Cyprians started out with two runs scored on an error by Jackson. This lead was evened up by the Sox in the second, with two runs. The scoring stopped until the sixth when the Sox uncorked a series of doubles and triples which sent five men across the plate. The Saints could do nothing with Bland, and were held scoreless after the first inning. Pat Brown's two running catches in center field featured this game.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY JUNE 11 1926 Baltimore, Md., June 7—The Black Sox began their climb back to first place by taking both ends of a doubleheader from the Newark Stars, Sunday afternoon, winning the first game, 8 to 6, and the second game, 6 to 5. The hitting of Beekwith, who got a homer in the right field bleachers in the sixth frame of the first game, featured, while the sensational fielding of Connie Day at second shone afield. Bowers and Yokeley, two college recruits, hurled brilliantly for the Sox. Strong went to Bowers' rescue, however, in the sixth when the youngster got into trouble. Wayne Carr, Gisentaner and Journ did the pitching for the Newark Stars. Sunday the Sox will play the Cuban Stars two gameson the local diamond.

Originally they were to go to the mat last Tuesday, but at the request of Tex it was set for a week later. New York boxing experts believe that Jim Farley, the chairman of the board, will be outvoted. Muldoon and Brower will vote for the Tunney-Dempsey match. Farley will cast a red-hot vote for Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey. Two to one will mean defeat, and Farley will have to retire, though not convinced that he has been on the wrong track. If Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills are prevented from fighting in New York state by "political or other interference," the Walker law "should be tossed into the Harlem river and boxing buried in this state forever," says James A. Farley, chairman of the New York State athletic commission. At the same time, Farley threatened Tex Rickard with disbarment if he continued negotiations to match Gene Tunney with Dempsey. "I have fostered the cause of Wills ever since I have been a member of the commission because I conscientiously believe the Negro is entitled to first consideration as an opponent for Demsey," Farley said.

Dempsey-Wills match, I have not, heard it." "If Tex Rickard attempts to evade the edict of this body by matching Gene Tunney with Dempsey and takes the fight to New Jersey, I will recommend to the license commission that Rickard's license be revoked and that he be barred from participation in the promotion of boxing in New York state as long as I am a member of the commission. "This affair has irritated me to such an extent that I will go the limit to see it through. Of course, any action against Rickard must be taken by the license committee of which Col. John J. Phelan is the chairman, but I think I know where Col. Phelan stands and I think D. Walker Wear, the other member, will concur with me. "Personally I don't believe Dempsey wants to fight. I don't think he will ever fight again. He has evaded every issue since 1923 when he last defended his title against Louis Angel Firpo. "I used to get a lot of fun out of guiding the destinies of boxing in New York. But now it is different. I get mad every time I think of Rickard's open defiance of our orders. He will not come in here and talk us into any Tunney match. The last time he was in here he was given to understand, that Wills was to be Dempsey's opponent and he said he would come back in 30 days and announce what progress he had made toward signing Wills for the match. "I don't think Dempsey deserves any consideration in this matter. He will come in here and take out three-quarters of a million dollars, no matter whom he fights and never consider the factors which made his fortune possible."

J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE ACTORS:UNION HAD MEETING SUNDAY ACTORS:UNION HAD MEETING SUNDAY There was an enthusiastic meeting of the members of the Colored Actors Union who were in Washington Sunday, June 5. The session was held at the Seventh Street headquarters, and so many turned out that it was necessary to move the session to Mr. Dudley's office. The recently elected officers functioned for the first time and the change in the official personnel seemed to have awakened new interest. President J. A. Jackson called the meeting to order, and at times, General Manager S. H. Dudley and Henri Bowman, vice-president, occupied the chair. The report of the Chattanooga meeting with the T.O.B.A. stockholder was again submitted for the information of the members who had not been in town at previous sessions. Sammy Graham, the new Chief Deputy announced that Gallie De Gaston, "Yodling" Charles Anderson and Sidney Easton would be appointed deputies. Other appointments will be made from time to time. The engagement of Gilchrist Stewart, attorney of 432 Lenox Avenue, New York, as legal counsel for the metropolitan district was announced. The president consummated this engagement with Mr. Stewart just the day before. Mr. Stewart came to Washington to confer with Union officials. A baseball team was authorized, and a benefit in Baltimore was also authorized to provide uniforms for the team. Eugene Hooten, Sammy Graham and the president were made a committee to arrange details. Plans to distribute the Union guide book, and authorization to compile a manual was made. Among those in attendance at the session were Garnett Warbington, "Happy" Simpson Albert W. Jackson, Allen Speer, Maybelle Jones, Bluch Melacon, Miss Quaker Fisher, Bert Howell, Sidney Easton, Leroy White, Bart Kenneth, Charles Anderson, Hugh Tunner, Sammy Graham, Telfair Washington, Miss Candy Gray, Slim Jones, "Happy" Kimball, Wm. Sledge, Henry Bowman, S. H. Dudley and J. A. Jackson. LINCOLN'S PICTURES NEXT WEEK On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Harold Lloyd in his latest Paramount success, "For Heaven's Sake" will be the feature attraction, with the usual short subjects. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, that finished actor and screen favorite Adolphe Menjou, will appear in another Paramount picture, "A Social Celebrity." For Saturday the feature will be, "That's My Baby," with Douglass McLean in the stellar role and also the Bar-C Mystery." "MADE FOR LOVE" AT REPUB- LIC THEATER Sunday and Monday, June 13, 14, Leatrice Joy appears in "Made for Love." A romance of old and new Egypt, with the curse of Isis exerting its sway through all the centuries. Leatrice Joy is perfect as the girl who was "Made for Love." Also chapter five of "Fighting Hearts." Tuesday and Wednesday, June 15, 16, Dolores Costello is seen in "Bride of the Storm." Miss Costello is the heroine of John Barrymore's great picture "The Sea Beast," "Bride of the Storm" is also a story of the sea. A girl, Dolores Costello, is held prisoner in a lighthouse off for an idiot boy: The drama is one of the most exciting pictures ever screened. Thursday and Friday, June 17, 18, "The Gilded Butterfly" with Alma Rubens, Bert Lytell and Huntly Gordon. Beautiful Alma Rubens is the star of this story of a subtle sermon to over-indulgent parents. "The Gilded Butterfly" is a production filled with nathos and romance. On Saturday, June 19, one day only, "Hearts and Spangles" a first run picture with Wanda Hawley. The most-true-to-life photoplay of circus life that has ever been presented on the screen. On the stage at 7:30 and 9:30, special talent will be presented. "THE AMERICAN VENUS" AT THE BROADWAY THEATER For Sunday and Mnoday the Broadway Theater will present the novel and magnificent beauty special "The American Venus" with Esther Ralston, Lawrence Gray, Ford Sterling, Fay Lamphire (Miss America), Ernest Torrence, Douglass Falkbars, Jr., and a real star supporting cast. In "The American Venus" you find everything that is pleasing to the regular movie fan, namely: comedy, romance, melodrama, thrills, beauty, novelty, and a series of artistic tableaux, spectaculari extravaganza with an elaborate fashion show and scenes in technicolor. The bathing beauty scenes were actually made in Atlantic City in September, 1925 with a chance to see the real contestants. A real love plot runs through the entire story thus making it one of the best photolays in years. On Tuesday, Matt Moore and Dorothy Devore in "How Baxter Butted in," and when we tell you it is a Warner Brothers' classic we need not say more. Wednesday and Thursday, Adolphe Menjou and Bessie Love in "The King on Main Street." The week will end on Friday and Saturday with Norma Shearer in her greatest picture "The Devil's Circus." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY JUNE 11,1926 WHITMAN SISTERS TO OPEN MONDAY AT HOWARD With a brand new combination of whirlwind entertainers, the Whitman Sisters will make a one-week stand at the Howard Theatre beginning Monday, June 14th, after an absence of three years. The name of the famous revue is "Rompin' Thru" which has stormed and flashed the S. R. O. sign on every house they have played this season. Alice Whitman as usual with her exceptional ability as a dancer is the star; but it is hard to distinguish which should be accorded this place as the company has many new faces and is made up of a string of stars each in himself an individual bright light. Little Princess Wee-Wee, the most perfect small woman, is as clever as ever; Bert Whitman, creating a sensation as male impersonator; A1 (Ragtime) Bastiste and Ernest Michaels, comedians of rare ability; Mattie Dorsey, the gingham girl; the two juvenile wonders, Billy Adams and Albert Whitman; the spicy, jazzy band and the peppy chorus of dancers and singers. On the screen will be shown, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, D. W. Griffith's "One Exeiting Night," Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, "Price of Success," with Alice Lake. A woman's struggle to hold her husband. Mid-nite show every Friday. Reserved seats. No raise in prices. No change of policy. "One Exciting Night" is claimed to be as exciting as "The Bat." Florence Mills and her "Blackbirds of 1926" opened on Memorial Day at the Ambassador Theatre, London, England, and English papers have raved over the attraction.

One of them, "Runnin' Wild" played this city last week; and "Brown Skin Models" occupies the boards of a local theatre this week. "Runnin' Wild" has a pair of comedians whose work pleased Washington patrons. They work wonderfully well together despite the known disparity between their histories. Gallie De Gaston is not only funny, but he is a master of stagecraft and is a well known company manager who has long since earned his right to star. Albert W. Jackson, his co-worker, is but a "kid" who is in his first season as a funnaker. He, too, is funny and his work has been commented upon by many managers in unmistakable terms. The youngster is a mild mannered, quiet fellow off stage to whom comedy is a serious profession. He can dance to beat the band and he has personality. There is no doubt about his future. in this show, piloted by Louis Azorsky, there was pep, punch, scienic equipment and costuming that drew good houses for the holiday week. dispatches on the opening. Johnnie Hudgins, Edith Wilson, Jones and Jones, Three Green Eddies, Clarence Robinson, Johnny Nit, and the Plantation orchestra with Johnny Dump under the direction of "Shrimp" Jones together with a dozen choristers make up the show. "Shufflin' Sam" will be presented in two editions this summer. After playing the Grand in Chicago this week, George Barton will take a tab-loid show over the T.O.B.A. circuit; and "Doc" Gardner will present the titles to fair ground audiences in the middle states.

All had a fine time and camped at the Fort that night returning Monday on the steamer "General Rucker." The officers and men of the garrison made things very pleasant for the troop. Scouts Honored First Class Scouts, Robert Best and Nathaniel Johnson of Troop 507, were before the Court of Honor Thursday night at the Elks Home, Third and Rhode Island Avenue. Each of them passed the court and are now entitled to wear two more devices. The boys are now working to become Eagle Scouts. MINER-NORMAL SCHOOL ACTIVITY The fifth aural oratorical contest was held at the Miner Normal School on Tuesday, May 25, for the purpose of selecting a class orator for the graduating class of 1926.

Astrea Butcher, Julia Dulaney, Carolyn Evans, Lenora Freeman, Blanche James, Pansy Major, Sarah Moore and Lucille Payne. A committee composed of members of the school faculty acted as judges.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JUNE 11. 1926 REGISTER OF TREASURY TO DROP 16 NEGRO EMPLOYEES, JUNE 30 REGISTER OF TREASURY TO DROP 16 NEGRO EMPLOYEES, JUNE 30 NINE NEGROES EVIDENTLY SACRIFICED TO SAVE WHITES Harley V. Spellman, Register of the Treasury of the United States, is again charged with discrimination against colored employees of his office. This charge is based upon notice to sixteen of them that their services would no longer be needed after June 30. All of these employees are women. The report is that orders from the Treasury Department called for a 20 per cent reduction of the force of the office of the Register of the Treasury. There are but thirty-seven colored employees in this office. Sixteen of them were notified of their probable dismissal. Among those listed for dismissal is Miss Georgia Jones, who was given a probationary appointment in the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue under the civil service rules. Miss Jones is very fair and at the time of her appointment Government officials did not know whether she was white or colored. While she was serving her probationary period, it was discovered that she was colored. She was immediately notified that the work which she had been selected to do was completed and her services would no longer be needed. Political influence was brought to bear, however, and she was transferred to the segregated section. Four of the employees who were notified of their dismissal will be transferred to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on per diem work. They are Miss Elizabeth Bamfield, Mrs. Josephine Gregg, Mrs. Carrie Leech and Mrs. Charlotte Hall. The employees, who will be dismissed outright, are Mrs. Francis Davis, Mrs. Lou Ethel D. Martin, Miss Leonie H. Byrd, Mrs. May Tyson Baker, Mrs. Marvelline Hoffman, Mrs. Nellie Vaughn, Miss Ida Porter, Miss Lillie E. Burke, Mrs. Linnie Lowe Miss Georgia Jones Mrs. Monen Gray and Mrs. Amanda Murray. $100,000 DRIVE FOR MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS TRAINING SCHOOL $100,000 DRIVE FOR MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS TRAINING SCHOOL Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the well-known Harvard graduate and historian, has taken the initiative in a drive to erect a $100,000 brick building to replace the main dormitory of Miss Nannie H. Burrough's Training School, which recently burned to the ground. The work of the National Training School for Women and Girls, under the guidance of Miss Burroughs, is history. This school fills a very unique and salient place in the field of preparing young girls for practical service and work. Dr. Woodson expresses the opinion that in view of the important work of the school, as the only institution of its kind for Negro girls north of Richmond, the public should generously support the movement to rebuild the main building. He believes this should be a brick structure to cost not less than $100,000. "The National Training School," says Dr. Woodson, "meets a need which neither the public schools nor a university can supply, and it is supplying a practical education for colored girls from all parts of the country." Contributions toward the $100,000 fund are being received at the School, Lincoln Heights, D.C., at the office of the Evening Star, and at the Washington Loan and Trust offices, Washington, D.C.

Philip Randolph, editor of the Messenger and General Organizer of the Pullman Porters Union, it is claimed that the Porter's and Maids' efforts to organize themselves into a union has succeeded in attracting the interest and support of some of the most notably outstanding men and women of America. Mr. Randolph states: "These liberal minded people, with the clearness of vision for which they are noted, fully observe the tremendous importance of so large a group of Negroes becoming inoculated with the industrial serum of trade unionism. They are able to see that as a result of the successful and helpful influence coming to bear upon the relations of the races here in the United States are making for a better understanding and a more tolerant attitude among black and white Americans. "These people, with their fingers on the social, economic, and political development, maintain that the present is an appropriate period for introducing trade unionism to the Negro. Organized Quickly "Another feature which has attracted these high spirited friends to the Porters' cause is the brilliant record made in organizing such a large percentage of their number in so short a time. This phase of the movement is generally agreed upon as the most remarkable record made by any group of workers in the history of organized labor. Experienced labor leaders, too, are astonished at this remarkable accomplishment." Some of those who have evidenced interest in and are actively, through speaking or writing, supporting the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters are Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation. Mr. Villard is the grandson of Garrison, the illustrious abolitionist, Gov. Alfred E. Smith; U. S. Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Hon Emanuel Celler, Hon. T. H. LaGuardia, Dr. Norman Thomas, Evans Clark, Freida Kirchway, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Mrs. Kenneth Walzer, Clarence Darrow, Arthur G. Hayes, Frank P. Walsh, Mary McDowell, Ben Stolberg, and others.
