CREDIT FOR SELECTION OF NEGRO PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY GOES TO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. 6, No. 4. HARMONYON "THE HILL" SEEN IF BISHOP GREGG ACCEPTS HARMONYON "THE HILL" SEEN IF BISHOP GREGG ACCEPTS Bishop John A. Gregg, a Negro, has been tendered the presidency of Howard University. Two years ago, there were fewer than a dozen Negroes who believed this was possible. While Bishop Gregg has not as yet accepted, there are those who cannot yet throw off the yoke of inferiority and believe the man capable of a successful administration. However, this group is not as large today as it was a year or more ago. Just why it is more difficult for a Negro to be a successful president at Howard University than at any other school, is hard for the man of the street to see. Booker T. Washington was certainly a success at Tuskegee where he gained world-wide fame. President John Hope is certainly a success at Morehouse College a school so far as academic scholarship is concerned, is on par with Howard. Wilberforce University has never had any other than a Negro for its head during its long history, and it is older than Howard. There are many other successful schools in this country with capable Negroes as the head. The fact that the average Negro knows so little about his own history and tradition and has so little confidence even in himself, gives rise to a school of thought of this pessimistic kind. However, the writer believes that if Bishop Gregg or any other capable Negro accepts the headship of Howard, the usefulness or the scope of the school's work will not be impaired in the slightest degree. (Continued on page 4) Association of Internes Close 7th Annual Session The Association of Former Internes of Freedmen's Hospital concluded their seventh and most successful annual session of the organization on June 10, the final day of a three-day meeting in which professional and social activities occupied the time of sixty-odd surgeons from nearly a dozen states.

Coolidge Louis Borno, president of Haiti, and his party arrived here Monday afternoon. He was officially welcomed by the Secretary of State, Frank B. Kellogg, and other Government officials, and, unofficially, by more than 100 "Red Caps." The eastern end of the concourse at the Union Station was roped off from the train gate to the President's waiting room. Along this stretch several hundred persons gathered to catch a glimpse of the Haitian president. He was viewed in silence, in marked contrast to the noise and the jeering which greeted him upon his arrival in New York City. A few minutes after his arrival, President Coolidge received him officially at the White House. Mme. Borno was received in the executive mansion by Mrs. Coolidge. The President and Mrs. Coolidge returned the call at the Haitian legation at 6:30 o'clock. Whatever was lacking in enthusiasm in the unofficial welcome to President Borno was made up in official ceremonies. As he stepped from his train, he raised his hat in salute and bowed slightly. Assistant Secretary of State J. Butler Wright, who accompanied the Haitian presidential party here, presented the other United States officials who were waiting to greet him. When he reached the outside of the station, he was greeted with a verse of the national anthem of Haiti and another of the Star Spangled Banner, played by the Army band. The party posed for photographs. They then entered automobiles which took them to the Mayflower. An escort of cavalry accompanied them to the hotel, one of the capital's most palatial. President Borno, who has been the storm center in Haiti ever since his first election in 1922, has come to the United States to discuss several matters incident to American occupation of the black republic. There is no mistaking the racial identity of President Borno. He is of a bright copper color, suave in bearing and dignified and is of slim build. His hair is gray and the height of his round, sloping forehead has been increased by partial baldness. He wears gold-rimmed eye glasses which pinch his nose and to which a narrow black ribbon is attached. His mustache is cropped. He wore a formal black coat, stripped trousers and patent leather shoes. Mme. Borno, is short and stout, about to his shoulder in height. She was dressed in a black and white, small-checked coat trimmed with black cuffs and wide black edges, with a wide black tail of the same material. Beneath the coat she wore a long blouse, which fell below the waist, of the same material as the body of the coat and trimmed with a narrow black edging down the front with a black belt. Her skirt was black. She wore a close fitting black straw hat trimmed in black velvet and light-colored silk stockings and shoes to match. She carried a small bouquet on the left lapel of her coat. A medium-length string of pearls were about her neck. President Borno's party included Mme. Borno, Leon Dejean, minister of foreign affairs of Haiti; Dr. W. W. Cumberland, American financial adviser to the Haitian government; Capt. Roche B. LaRoche, Lieut. Osmar Cham and J. J. Morgan. Minister and Mme Hannibal Price, who met them in New York, accompanied them here. President and Mme. Borno were luncheon guests of President and Mrs. Coolidge Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Tuesday morning the visitors were received by Secretary Jardine at the Agricultural Department, where the Haitian president made an inspection of the department machinery. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon he made a visit to Ft. Myer. He also visited Arlington cemetery and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He and his party were escorted by high army officers and a squadron of cavalry from the fort. The guests at the White House luncheon to President Borno and Mme. Borno were Secretary Kellogg, the Minister of Haiti and Mme. Price, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the Secretary of Commerce; the Undersecretary of State and Mrs. Grew; J. Butler Wright, Assistant Secretary of State; Everett Sanders, secretary to the President, and Mrs. Sanders; Gen. and Mrs. John W. Russell; Mr. and Mme. Lesc. DeJoan, and Dr. L. S. Rowe, director of the Pan-American Union; Dr. William W. Cumberland, Capt. Roche B. LaRoche and Lieut. Phillippe Cham, Col. S. A. Cheney, Capt. Wilson Brown, Jr., U.S.N. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1926 THE ALUMNI WILL RALLY BEHIND BISHOP GREGG'S ADMINISTRATION THE ALUMNI WILL RALLY BEHIND BISHOP GREGG'S ADMINISTRATION If Bishop John Andrew Gregg of the African Methodist Episcopal Church should accept the presidency of Howard University, to which he was elected by the board of trustees last week, his administration will have the support of the alumni. In an address at the annual meeting of the General Alumni Association, the Rev. George Frazier Miller, its president, admitting that the alumni had hoped for the election of a Howard University graduate, urged the alumni to support Bishop Gregg. "We have escaped some things we have very seriously desired to avoid," he declared. "Consequently, I am trusting that this gentleman will accept his election, for, if he does not, we will have to go further and I am in dread of faring worse. I think we should give our heartiest support to the new administration of the university as represented by the incoming president and should do all that lies in our power to make that administration a success." Following these remarks by the Rev. Frazier Miller, the alumni adopted unanimously a resolution endorsing the selection of Bishop Gregg as president of Howard University. Prof. Kelly Miller, who was the first choice of most of the alumni for president of Howard, spoke in support of the resolution. "Howard University is now in a transition stage." he said, "and in a very critical condition. The trustees are all-powerful and, therefore, all wise and all good, and we must graciously submit to their power, wisdom and goodness. They have selected a president of Howard University. They have changed the color of the executive, and, although we may not have been consulted in the selection, yet we can all easily see the great calamity that would befall Howard University, if, under any circumstances, his administration should fail. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all of those who wish the university well, all of those who are loyal to its aims and ideals to do all within their power to see to it that the new administration shall be a success." Others who spoke pledging allegiance to the newly elected president included Prof. George W. Cook and Prof. Wm. V. Tunnell: active local alumnus, and one of the national directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, comments as follows: Neval H. Thomas, perhaps the most active local alumnus comments as follows: "The election of Bishop Gregg to the presidency of Howard University was a great surprise to me. I am sure, though, that he will have a successful administration and allay the unfortunate friction that was provoked by the outgoing president and those who misled him. I, for one, shall be glad to support him. "My first choice for that high office was Dean Kelly Miller, Howard's greatest alumnus, a profound scholar, a veteran educator, a national leader in our conflict against race prejudice, and the man who has done more to make our great university known throughout the world than any other man or agency. To my mind, the presidency should have been offered to him 'on a silver platter' with prayers for his acceptance. "My next choice was Dr. Charles Wesley who possesses so many of the qualities of the great dean, fine scholarship, loyal purpose, a culture that carries faith in the possibilities of Negro education, and a large following among our alumni and the colored people. Although both failed of election, I shall support Dr. Gregg." "We must all get behind him, and help him to secure his appropriations in Congress, as we have in all other administrations regardless of what we thought of presidential policies, for this is regarded as an experiment, the placement of a Negro at the head of Howard, in spite of the fact that for generations Negroes have proved their capacity for educational leadership. "I know that Bishop Gregg will seek to restore the soul to the university, and ignore the councils of the patronage hunters who brought the last administration to defeat. Witness the disingusting spectacle of Jesse Moreland, chief advisor of Dr. Durkee, sitting in a trustee meeting leading a drive for his own elevation, using a great public trust for patronage. I know the new president will favor the restoration of the great dean to his (Continued on page 4) President Coolidge Receives Kappa Alpha Psi Committee Left to right—Earl B.

It will be presented on June 29 in Chicago by the Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes at the seventeenth annual conference of the association. The basis of the award of the Spingarn Medal for 1925 to Dr. Woodson is as follows: "For ten years' service in collecting and publishing records of the Negro in America, culminating in the publication of 'Negro Orators and Their Orations' and 'Free Negro Heads of Families in the United States in 1830.' Dr. Woodson is also the author of other books concerning the Negro and the founder of the Journal of Negro History which he has conducted for ten years.

PRESIDENT RECEIVES HEAD OF FRATERNITY PRESIDENT RECEIVES HEAD OF FRATERNITY Earl B. Dickerson, grand polemarch of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, W. Ellis Stewart, secretary of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and Mortimer M. Harris, a real estate dealer, called on President Coolidge at the executive offices Wednesday and extended him an invitation to speak at the sixteenth annual grand chapter convention of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, which will be held in Washington, December 26-30, 1926. The engagement to see the President was made by representative Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Illinois, from whose district Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Stewart comes. Mr. Dickerson, who is also an assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, Ill., and general counsel for the Liberty Life Insurance Company, was here primarily for the argument of an income tax case before the Treasury Department.

OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. receives Kappa Alpha committee on, President Coolidge, Mortimer WASHINGTON R. R. PORTER HURT IN TRAIN WRECK A rear-end collision at Gray Station about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh on the Pennsylvania R.R., that caused the death of five members of two train crews and of ten or more passengers, caused the injury of about three or four Pullman porters including Ezekial L. Stoed of 3826 McKinley Street, Northwest, of this city. Others known to have sustained injuries in the wreck were Porters C. H. Robinson and S. A. Reed of Pittsburgh, Penna. All three of the injured porters are in a hospital at Latrobe, Penna., a few miles from the scene of the wreck. The train, headed for Washington, carried six Pullman cars and as many porters. It is the famed Metropolitan Limited. Mr. Steed has been in the employment of the Pullman Company less than a year, having come to Washington from Anderson, S.C. He is married and resides at the above address with his wife, Mrs. Hallie Steed. The extent of his injuries are not yet known. The company is striving to ascertain this as this is written, in order either to have him brought home, or to send the wife to his bedside. Eighteen passengers were injured. Court Dismisses Suit Against Ideal Ins. Co. Justice A. A. Hoehling in circuit court No. 1, June 4th, dismissed the petition of St. John Lodge No. 43, S. M. Stockton, J. W. Stockton, Minnie Griggs, Frank Griggs, Augusta Stockton, A. S. Rogers and Grace Stockton for a writ of mandamus commanding the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society, A. W. Holmes. Supreme Master; Charles H. Neal, district deputy, and Walter Baddy, assistant deputy, to restore them to their rights in the order. Through Attorney John H. Wilson, the plaintiffs brought action in the District Supreme Court. They charged that the defendants, without giving them an opportunity to be heard, undertook to suspend and revoke the charter of St. John Lodge No. 43. The controversy started with a letter, dated March 30, 1925, and signed by Mr. Neal and Mr. Baddy. It was addressed to the board of directors of the Supreme Lodge and called attention to alleged disloyalty on the part of the lodge. April 30, 1925, the lodge was directed to show cause why it should not be suspended, and in May, 1925, it was suspended. December 8, 1925, the lodge and the individual members resorted to the courts, filing their petition for a writ of mandamus. Attorney Armond W. Scott was retained to defend the Supreme Lodge. He contended that the suspension of the local lodge was valid and that the lodge was estopped from complaining because it had failed to exhaust its remedies within the order. In the memorandum dismissing the suit, Justice Hoehling declared that the court was of the opinion that the plaintiffs "had notice of the charges made against the lodge, and that reasonable opportunity was afforded the plaintiffs within which to be heard and to present defense; as well, also to appeal, in the event of adverse decision by the Board of Directors and the Supreme Lodge; but, apparently, plaintiffs have failed to avail them- --- RANDOLPH ST.

She arrived in New York City aboard the Aquitania last Friday and came immediately here. During the past season, Madame Evanti appeared in grand opera in France, in Nice, Monte Carlo and Toulon. She had roles in Lakme, La Traviata and Manon. Commenting upon her apeparance along the Cote d'Azur in Monte Carlo, Sebastien Jaspard, a musical critic, says in Le Courrier Musical, that she compelled the members of the orchestra to say that it has been a long time since they have listened to a coloratura soprano of the charm and finesse of Madame Evanti. Returning, she sang aboard the Aquitania at a concert in the lounge, at which His Eminence, Cardinal Giovanni Bonzano, Papal Logate to the International Eucharistei Conference in Chicago, made an appeal for seamen's charities. She sang "Were You There?" by Burleigh and the "Grand Aria" from La Traviata. Madame Evanti will return to France in November for grand opera engagements in the larger cities, includingParis, Lyon, Bordeaux, Monpellier and Toulouse. She will also appear in Belgium and in concert work in Switzerland. But before leaving to fill these engagements, however, she will be presented in concert in several of the larger cities in this country under the direction of Mortimer M. Harris.

NEWTON MAKES PUR- CHASE IN BLOCK COVERED BY RESTRICTIONS SEEK TO PREVENT NEGRO RENTING IN RANDOLPH STREET the plain. PRICE 5 CENTS The first legal action to enforce a covenant prohibiting the sale or rental of property to colored persons since the refusal of the Supreme Court of the United State to review the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia holding such agreements valid, was filed in the District Supreme Court last week. It was brought by Frank S. Wallace, 75 Randolph Place, Northwest; Francis J. P. and Ann Frances Cleary, 45 Randolph Place; Charles J. and Martha S. Orem, 47 Randolph Place; Agnes Ramsay, 66 Randolph Place; Mary E. Ragan, 55 Randolph Place, and Henry Hoiby, 63 Randolph Place. They seek to enjoin Edward J. Russell, 1446 Harvard Street, Northwest, from leasing the premises at No. 77 Randolph Place, Northwest, to a colored person, whose identity, they say, is unknown to them. The persons bringing this suit claim that on February 6, 1926, the property owners in the Bloomingdale section in Randolph Street, between North Capitol and First Streets, Northwest, including the plaintiffs and the defendant, entered into a covenant that no part of the land then owned by the persons signing it shall ever be used, occupied by, or sold, leased or rented to colored persons. This covenant runs with the land and binds their heirs and assigns for a period of 21 years. The plaintiffs declare that Russell has entered into an agreement to lease the premises at No. 77 Randolph Place, Northwest, to a colored person, and that this colored person is about to enter into possession of this property. He has been seen inspecting the premises, they say, and a few pieces of furniture and household articles have been moved into the house. They ask the District Supreme Court to enjoin Russell from conveying his property, or renting, leasing, or transferring possession of it in any manner to any colored person. They are represented by Attorney F. O-Donoghue and Harry A. Grant. The purchasers of the property are Rev. Edgar Newton a minister of Rosslyn, Va., who during the week is a supervising janitor for the H. L. Russ Company in charge of a number of apartment houses; his wife, a teacher in the public school system; and his father-in-law, Robert H. Peterson, employed in the Government Printing Office. The purchase price is given as $8750 by Mrs. Lucy R. Pollard, a real estate agent of 549 Florida Avenue, who negotiated the sale. Mrs. Pollard declares that the title was clear of any covenant on May 25, and that the Newtons had moved into the property on June 4th, hence were already located when the covenant was filed.

The position he now holds carries more prestige and power and yields a higher emolument than the presidency of Howard. Should he resign the bishopric (for which there is no precedent) it is doubtful if he could secure a re-election should he be relieved of his work at Howard at any time in the future. This within itself must necessarily have great weight with him in making his decision. The Board of Bishops of the A.M.E. Church have been called to meet in Detroit, Mich., June 24th. At this meeting Bishop Gregg will possibly counsel with his fellow bishops as to whether he can accept and how. It has been stated in some quarters that a leave of absence may be granted him. This too will have to be decided at Detroit. Some hold that the Board of Bishops have not the power to grant such a leave; this, they say, must come from the General Conference, which does not meet until 1928. The decision Bishop Gregg and the Board of Bishops will have to make will be a momentous one and will be awaited with great interest by the world at large. Credit for the appointment of a Negro as president must go to the Howard alumni. The leaders of this militant group have won a notable victory. For over four years dissension had been growing against Dr. Durkee's administration. This reached its climax in the spring of 1925 when the students went on strike. This strike nearly disrupted the whole scholastic year. Right on the heels of this trouble came the acceptance of the report of Dr. Leonard of Columbia University as to the re-organization of the academic school. This report recommended the dismissal of several professors, two of whom were old landmarks of Howard and the idols of many alumni. They were Dean Kelly Miller and Dean George W. Cook. Incensed because of injustices, as they viewed it, to the professors affected by the Leonard report, the alumni association started its fight for President Durkee's scalp. Since last commencement, this fight has been waged relentlessly. So hot did the fire that was kindled under Dr. Durkee become, that, at the mid-winter board meeting last February, Dr. Durkee handed in his resignation. With this victory won, the alumni association then set out to get a president for Howard who met with their approval. To vindicate their claim of injustice to their idol, Dean Kelly Miller, they made him their first choice. In making the fight for him they naturally aroused a dormant sentiment for a Negro head of Howard. Soon the cry re-echeated from coast to coast and the public joined the chorus. Although the alumni failed to put over any candidate recommended by them, the sentiment for a Negro president, that their agitation had created, became too strong, for the Board of Trustees to ignore, with the happy result of the selection of Bishop Gregg. Not being narrow, the alumni association at its annual meeting on "the Hill" last Thursday, passed a resolution unanimously approving the selection of Bishop Gregg and assuring him of their undivided support and co-operation. Thus, it can be seen, that if Bishop Gregg accepts, the old Howard spirit will soon be revived. AUTO STARTERS REPAIRED TUNGAR BATTERY STATION POTOMAC 3562 707 R St. N.W. M.

The dedication program will begin with the 11 o'clock services, with a sermon by the pastor, Rev Jas E. Willis: The program will be continuous from Sunday through Monday, July 5th. The building will be opened each evening for inspection by the public from 7 p.m. till 8 p.m. The successful completion of the remodeling adds another laurel to Washington workmen. The general contractors were Charles Green and C. W. S. Graves. Mr. Green also did the brick work. Mr. Graves did the carpentry work. Both of these men REV. JAS. E. WILLIS rank among the leaders in the building trades in Washington. The painting and interior decorating was done by Mr. Allen Jackson, one of Washington's oldest and best established painters. To judge the quality of the high-grade work done by Mr. Jackson, one must see the interior of the church. Solar Electrical Engineering Company, Inc., installed the wiring, fixtures, and motors. Mr. T. J. Hopkins, Jr., manager of the company had complete charge of the work. Mr. Hopkins is a graduate of the Engineering Department of Howard University, class of 1924. J. C. Sutton, registered plumber, installed all the plumbing work and fixtures. The fixtures placed in this church are the most modern of any church in Washington. The public comfort stations are equipped with the largest number of accommodations in any church in the city. Heating installations were done by Mr. Harry R. Adams. Mr. Adams completely renovated the heating equipment and enlarged it so the church will always have sufficient heat to keep it comfortable. The work of the above named persons and firms reflect great credit on the race.

For the same reason the baseball game was not played. The parade, while not as long as others that have been seen here, was unusually attractive. There were uniformed drill companies from Morning Star Lodge of Washington and Arlington Lodge, besides a large drill company of Alexandria, with a uniformed Daughters of Elks contingent, and the large Elks' Band. There was also a mounted company of U. S. Regular Cavalry from Fort Humphrey.

A band of Krigwa players, similar to the dramatic unit promoted by Dr. Dubois and his associates in New York, is the instrument through which the group will endeavor to associate lovers and producers of race literature and with those talented in dramatics in an effort to advance plays of Negro life by Negroes. In an interview with the Tribune, Mrs. Clifford, declared; "We are not seeking to make money in this enterprise; but to present to the American public a truer picture of Negro life than the present day stage affords; and to develop in our people such an appreciation of dramatic art as will create for our talented professionals a market worthy of their ideals. It is a broad project and participants will be factors in a worthy race culture movement." Definite formal organization work is going on and the public will be informed as to progress.

COACH CHARLEY WEST DROPPED AS ASST. COACH Charley West, former Washington and Jefferson star football player, has been dropped as assistant coach of the Howard University football team. Friction between him and Louis L Watson, head football coach and athletic director, is assigned as the cause. Raymond Doakes, tackle, and Edgar Long, captain of last year's varsity and an end, will assist Coach Watson next season. The passing of West as an assistant coach is regretted by students and followers of the Blue and White machine. The former Washington and Jefferson star was a clean athlete and well liked He and Watson differed as to methods, and his being dropped was not unexpected. The fraternity alignment of the new coaches is practically the same as that of old. Watson is a Phi Beta Sigma member. Doakes is a Kappa Alpha Psi, and Long is an Alpha Phi Alpha man.

BLACK HAWKS DOWN MT. PLEASANT The Black Hawk Indians, of Arlington, Va., rode rough shod over the Mt. Pleasant' Athletics, on Sunday, June 13, on the Hawks' new diamondd. The ace of the Hawks' pitching staff, a port sider, Ward, had the Athletics eating out of his hand all the way. He allowed but six hits, two of the scratchy kind, receiving good support. Several good catches and difficult stops featured the game. Ward struck out 10 batsmen and allowed but one base on balls. His team mates drove the starting pitcher, Webster, to cover and then hit the second moundman, Dorey, hard to win. Scott, the Hawks hard-hitting first sacker, collected a homer and a double while his mates banged out eight other hits including two doubles and six singles. Hart, Holmes and Vollin played like veterans. HOWARD ATHLETIC LEADERS CHOSEN At a meeting of the letter men Douglass Monroe was reeled captain of the baseball team while Earl Bridges was the choice for manager. Both men should be able to make good leaders. Ruben Spears, a sophomore at the university and high scorer, was elected to pilot the basketball team for the season 1926-1927 and Theodore Wright was reeled manager. As the basketball team will have all of its regulars back it looks as if Howard will be able to have another banner year. VARSITY DEFEATS OLD GRADS One of the features of the Howard University Commencement was the annual diamond clash between the Old grads who tried in vain to repeat their feat of the past two years of defeating the varsity baseball team that has lost but one game this season. The varsity won by a score 18-5. It out-hit and out-played the old timers in every inning, Simpson, Monroe, Payne, and Slade played well for the varsity nine while Wiley, Westmoreland, and Allen shone for the "has beens." Coach Burr deserves credit for the showing his team made this season itself. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ALTERATION REDUCTION SALE Now is your chance to save money.

James A. Farley, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, commonly referred to as the Boxing Commission, made the following speech at the meeting in the Commission's offices in the Flatiron Building yesterday: "The issue before us is not one of pugilism but one of patriotism. I have planked myself firmly on the broad platform of fair play—equal opportunity for all. "New York is a great arena. The people of the whole state are at the ringside. They expect me to give every man the equal protection of the Walker law. The people have always insisted on an even chance for every comer. In commerce, industry, finance, politics, and all professions our broad Americanism has kept the door of opportunity open at all times. Merit has been the sole test. It is our country's proud boast that the chance to show one's worth shall be denied to no man. "How dare I abandon that tradition now? If I did, I would forfeit not only my self-respect, but also my right to hold office. "The great American. Theodore Roosevelt, with characteristic patriotism, received Booker T. Washington at the White House. Merit regardless of race or color, was a passport to the nation's capitol. I am confident it will earn no less recognition in the nation's greatest State, New York. We shall turn from petty politics in pugilism to the proud practice of pure patriotism and justify our American standards by truly American conduct." UNION LEAGUE STANDING W. L. Pet.

Ave., Balto., Md. Maude L. Burke had the unique distinction of being both author and leading lady in the play presented by the Jonquil Club at Dunbar High School on June 3. The piece, "The Evolution of Nanette" was presented under the joint auspices of the National Training School for Wome and Girls, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president, and the Jonquil Club of the Mme. C. J. Walker Union. Barrington Gay directed the production of the piece which was cleverly written so as to combine a moral lesson with a well presented entertainment value. The cast was an unusually well selected group of amateurs. Mrs. B. S. Woodland, and Mrs. Cleo Keys, were especially capable in their respective roles. TRE "MAN IN BLUE" AT THE BROADWAY THEATER Starting Sunday, till Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present one of the greatest action photoplayss of the season, "The Man in Blue" with Herbert Rawlinson and Madge Bellamy in the featured roles. You will find it one of the most bruising free for all fights you have ever seen between a fighting Irish cop and all of the Little-Italy combined for the love of a little flower girl. Two great stars in their most thrilling picture with a whale of a supporting cast. On Tuesday, one day only, Doris Kenyon, Lloyd Hughes, Frank Mayo and Anna Q. Nilsson, in a drama that reveals a real love battle between high and low society, "If I Marry Again." Wednesday and Thursday, Bebe Daniels with Neil Hamilton in "The Splendid Crime." She tried to reform because she decided that house breaking was not the right kind of a work for a decent lady. While the week will end with Monte Blue and Dorothy Devore in a thrilling murder mystery, "The Man up Stairs."

Hugh Turner with his musical saw and saxophone and the denure and droll comedy chatter he handles so capably was the added attraction at the Lincoln theatre last Friday and Saturday. Several outbursts of laughter and a steady stream of giggles bore testimony that he was pleasing his folks. Percy Jackson, a young comedian and dancer was the added attraction at the Republic theatre last Saturday. He is a promising boy if one may determine from the encores earned. Sam Tolson of the Troopers' Club, New York who has taken over another organization of the kind, writes to inform us that he has a trip to Washington in prospect. The gang, here would enjoy seeing the "Old gentleman" who declares that he can dance as effectively today as he did forty years ago when he was less than fifty years of age. Jules McGarr, former president of the Union and an active director this year, is playing the Regent in Baltimore this week. He will be in Washington soon. Charles Turpin of the Booker T. Washington theatre, St. Louis, with Morris M. Burke, a white real estate man, are launching the Colored Motion Picture Company in St. Louis where a studio is being erected and J. T. Ray, a former Hollywood director has been engaged to produce Negro films. Local talent will be used in so far as is practicable. Sidney Rink has been the guest of the Deacons in Columbus, Ohio, where he is putting a show together for John Vogel, the old minstrel monarch. Ruth and Dorothy have gone to New York where mail will reach the team at 142 West 131st Street. "Deacon" Slim Austin is with the Alabama minstrels, playing through Kansas at this writing.

Dudley, the well known showman made a flying trip to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. We learned that Mr. Dudley's mission in Baltimore and Philadelphia was in the interest of the T.O.B.A. While his visit to Atlantic City was, for recreation and to attend the grand opening of the Belmont Cabaret which is owned and managed by one of Mr. Dudley's closest friends and stunch admirers Herndon Danials. The latter being a very progressive and prosperous business man. We also learned that Uncle Dud is lining up an entertainment to tour the T.O.B.A., in conjunction with his personal appearance and his six reel photoplay "Easy Money" in which Mr. Dudley is the Star. Uncle Dud gave the managers in the West wonderful business when he last appeared playing to capacity and turned away business at most of the theatres. We learned through good authorities that the old master is anticipating a southern tour of not over ten weeks beginning some time in September. Rest of Month to be Busy Dudley will be busy for the balance of the month. On June 14th he is called to the directors' meeting of the Federal Life Insurance Company of which organization he is a director and assistant treasurer. Tuesday the 15th, he is called to a directors' meeting of Dr. Blue's Chemical Company being a director there also. And Sunday, June 20th, he meets the Colored Actor's Union being the manager and treasurer of this organization. On the 22nd he is scheduled to appear at Akron, Ohio, to look his racing stable over which is campaigning through Ohio state and on the 26th he will go to Canada to look the string over which is racing in Canada. Besides this Uncle Dud has to lookout for the eastern end of the T.O.B.A., his own theatre and other business holdings in the city of Washington, that's why we say Dudley is a busy man. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1926 News of Theatres, Parks, Fairs, The Deacons Club and Allied Amusements MR. REEVIN ILL T.O.B.A. General Manager Likes Union Election Results The following letter from Mr. Sam Reevin, general manager of the Theatre Owners Booking, Association provides the first information of the illness with which he has been suffering. He writes to approve the officers elected by the Union and to assure cooperation with them in their relations with the circuit. The letter follows: Cattanooga, Tenn., I am dictating this letter from my home—sick, where I have been confined in bed for the last four weeks and although I am getting better, it will be at least three more weeks before I am able to return to the office, but as I read about the election of the C.A.U. I am sending this to congratulate you, and to express my satisfaction on this selection, and without flattery, I can say, that a better choice could not have been made. You know how I stand and my views about the C.A.U. and you can convey to the members of this organization that I am ready and willing to cooperate with you at all times. I only wish that the colored actors would wake up and see the necessity of this organization, and make it as strong as it really should be, and I trust that under present guidance it will grow and will do good constructive work. With best wishes for you and the C.A.U.'s success, I remain. CHILDREN SEE "ROBIN HOOD" The story of "Robin Hood" has long been one of compelling interest to children. It has been much read by juveniles for many generations. Nine hundred Washington school children had the pleasure of seeing the film version of the story as guests of George Martin at the Rosalia and Foraker Theaters. Another group of three hundred had the management of the Rosalia Theater for their host at a similar showing last week. L N THEATRE U Street, N.W. SUN. and HOLIDAYS 3 P.M. What the Press Agents Say POLA. NEGRI: AT THE LINCOLN POLA NEIGER AT THE LINCOLN Last week the Lincoln program consisted of comedies, but for the coming week two of the pictures will be of the serious type and the other one on Friday and Saturday will be a dramatic comedy. Beginning Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, that very emotional screen star, Pola Negri, will be seen in a new Paramount picture written especially for her by Ernest Vajda, called "The Crown of Lies." It offers Pola an opportunity to display those qualities which have so endeared her to the movie audiences throughout the land. Wednesday and Thursday, Jacquelin Logan and Cullen Landis appear in a problem play which confronts every modern girl and every man and woman. It is called "Peacecoe Feathers." For Friday and Saturday, Dorothy Revier and Ford Sterling are the stars in a dramatic comedy, "Steppin' Out." It is a lightning-fast story of wild adventure in the dazzling white lights. In addition on Saturday, only—"The Bar-C Mystery." WHITMAN SISTERS HELD OVER BY POPULAR So great has been the demand by the patrons of Howard Theater to see the popular favorites of Washington, the Whitman Sisters, that the management has held them over for another week in an entirely new show; everything changed but the personnel. The name of their next creation is "Goin' Some." It is heralded by critics as the fastest production of the season. The management looks forward to bigger crowds all next week, as many who saw the show this week will be in line as well as hundreds who missed the first week. "Pops" and Billy and Princess Wee Wee are three great finds and by far the greatest entertainers ever seen here. "Pops," who is only 7, flings a wicked foot; but Billy, age 11, and Princess Wee Wee, 29, the smallest perfectly formed woman in the world, divide honors with him. Allee and Burt Whitman whom many thought were dead, are there holding the lime-light and are still the favorites as of yore. To make the second weeks' pictures greater than the first, the management is playing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, George Arliss in his greatest triumph, "The Man Who Played God." Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Hope Hampton and James Kirkwood in "Lovers' Island," a gripping story of the Sea Coast. There will be a monster midnite show on Friday and a grand farewell appearance Sunday, June 27th. Opening Monday, June 28th, is that popular Lafayette star, Clarence Muse, with his "Charleston Dandies." REPU W. E. L. SANFORD, Mgr.—Show SUN. & MON. JUNE 20, 21 'SHE' BY JOHN L.

REPUBLIC THEATER Sunday and Monday, June 20, 21, Sir Rider Haggard's "She" with Betty Blythe, supported by Carylle Blackwell and Mary Odette. This motion picture version of the world-famous book by Sir Rider Haggard is unique in many respects, and particularly in one, as it tells the picture story of the most wonderfully formed woman this earth has ever known. Weaving a great romance, it tells the story of the queen, "She" who with everlasting life lives in a subterranean kingdom in the heart of Africa. All the sparkling splendor, the gorgeousness of the original tale are magnified one hundred fold by the eye of the camera and brings to the screen a love drama of smashing climaxes. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 22, 23, "The Johnstown Flood" with George O'Brien. A thrilling epic drama of the most stupendous happening of the last century.

Cobb for the amunicipal court judgeship, was given by the Senate last Thursday. That this confirmation was held up so long is regrettable for it shows how im- potent tlie Negro is in American poli- ties. For the smallest kind of political Job, the Negro is forced to bring to bear every ounce of‘pressure possible in order to pull through. The friends ‘of Attorney Cobb, had to ‘appeal to ‘every source of power that they could reach before they could get favorable action, even after President Coolidge had appointed him. Even then, they were not successful until after the appointment had been used as bait for the Negro vote in two political primary campaigns—Ilinois and Pennsylvania, Judge Cobb succeeds to the vacancy caused by the regrettable death of the late Judge Terrell. Although he hhad to wait nearly six months after his appointment for final confirmation, the Negro race rejoices nevertheless in his final victory. ‘The experiences and contacts made in getting the Cobb confirmation should be kept alive. There are many other worthy positions in the District government that Negroes should hold. ‘The only way to get these positions is to fight for them. Every group has been given consideration in posi- tions with the District government except the Negro. Judge Cobb, At- torney Thos. L. Jones, both local men, and Hon. A, G. Froe, of West Virginia, have the only three worthy. positions now held by Negroes with the local government. The other jobs are only minor civil service or lesser places, The size of the Negro population ere and the amount of the taxes they pay, entitles them to far more consideration than they are getting. Judge Cobb's position naturally ele- vates him to a position of leader: ship locally where he can rally the Jocal forces with a view of breaking Gown the almost impenetrable bar- riers that are making’ it harder for Negroes to get positions. Eternal vigilance is the price’ of freedom. Let the Negroes of Wash- ington rally and fight if they would wine o LONGER SCHOOL HOURS ‘The decision of the Board of Edu- fation to submit to @ referendum the question of longer school _ hours, brings to light a situation which most of the citizens are not aware of. The reason for this proposal by the board is the fact that there has Been some serious criticism of the work now being done in our public schools, a The ‘Tribune believes that what the public schools need is not longer schools hours but the complete elim- SSS ff There's no need to v ete iS ints ab reas ination of the, teo many “days,” “weeks” and other time killing movye- ments and fads that have eased into the school calendar during the past few years, Eye week, health week, clean up week, fire prevention week, ete., ex- cessive number of holidays and too much time given to minor subjects like compulsory drill, athletics and other recreations, are the evils that ‘are preventing ‘the children from con- centrating on their major subjects. For four years in high school, the male student devotes one-fourth of his time to military drill, While there are some arguments for military drill yet there are many for abolish- ing the drill altogether. There cer- tainly can be no arguments the School Board can advance that could jus- tify taking this much time from the student. If the Bozrd of Education wishes to improve scholarship in our schools, they should put more attractions in the main show and reduce the size of the side show events, Adding long- er hours—without some change in procedure will only increase the pres- ent evil. What the parents of Washington want is more time spent on teaching the students reading, writing and arithmetic along with other subjects ‘that can be of value to them in earn- ‘ing a living when they get out of school, or in pursuing higher educa- tion courses, and not how to “squads right,” put out a forest fire or use some special company’s tooth paste. The asking, for a referendum on a longer day is an admission on the part of the Board of Education that they have not kept up with the schools they are supposéd to supervise. What the Board needs to do is to find. out how. the ,time now used in ‘schools is actually employed. Gee Whiz. Now it's Towa. How the Republican stalwarts who repre: sent the administration are getting it in the primaries. Our “cool” pres: ident will soon be entirely bereft of friends in. Congress. -Of course, he will still have the apologizing Negra press and its “hustlerati” with him Looks like the Grand Old Party is going to be hard enough up by fal to need their ministrations, “Be advised, Mr. President, that the deliveries these boys can make-now- adays do not assay so high: in votes as did the same sort of ore in eartier days, The digging gets harder a: time goes on, Negro voters, like their white brethren, are doing a bit of thinking, a aa) TUNGAR BATTERY STATION Tee ee COME Tne ST oA THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, MUSIC FORUM |;~ ee KIDDIES Miss James Thanks Supporters c.

With love to all, VIOLA THOMAS(10) CAN YOU DRAW PICTURES? Would you like to see your pen pic- tures in the paper? If so here is a chance to have them appear in the Kiddies’ Corner.

Draw on white, smooth, firm paper which will hold ink. ‘The pictures must be either 4x4 inch- es or 6x6 inches. Odd sizes are not accepted. Measure carefully. Use either simple pen outline, with- out shading, or draw your pictures with a standard brand of artist’s ink. Do not use writing ink, because we cannot print from it. Do not use colored inks or crayons. All drawings must be original. No copies or traced drawings will be con- sidered. | ere Se | A SELECTED POEM By Claire Converse - An engine stood huffing and snorting and puffing And he said “I am really a wonder, For I pull heavy loads over miles of railroads, And all records for speed I can , sunder.”” “You seem to forget,” cried the cars in a pet, “So allow us, we pray, to remind you ‘That quite useless you d be without us, for you see That we carry the load here behind | you.” Here the long shining rails set up loud angry wails Saying “Neither have aught you can boast on. You soon would have found you can’t go o'er the ground If you didn’t have us here to coast one : But the kind. engineer who had hap- pened to hear This quarrelling, spoke to them sadly: “Oh, let as not bother, who helps most the other But each one his own part do gladly.” So each went to his work, did not grumble or shirk, Bach giving and. getting assistance. Now the train seemed to say “Why, it + seems just like play.” And it hummed as ’twas lost.in the distance, i EDITOR'S NOTE:—This little poem was sent in by a Tribunite whose let- ter and signature could not be read by the editor. LITTLE THINGS T-gave a child a tiny sprout, A bit of plant I had thrown out, And though it was without a flower It grew into a garden bower. The child gave,me a fleeting smile, That made me happy for.a while— For just a while, I thought, and yet Tt was a smile I won't forget. “GRACE HYATT TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. 1 will never use the word “nigger.” 2.

I was’once a treey but somemen cut me down and took me:to a place and made me into a raler; ‘When I came-to, I found myself-in a school room. I was being used bya little boy named Harry.
