Rev.M.W.Norman Married in Bedside Ceremony FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Vol. VI, No. 9 AUTO CHASED BY OFFICERS KILLS WOMAN AUTO CHASED BY OFFICERS KILLS WOMAN A coroner's jury Tuesday ordered John Robert Hammond, 23, rear of 1516 K Street, Northwest, and James Morris Brown, 30, 464 Ridge Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death last Sunday night of Mary Ann Doye, of 3212 O Street, Northwest, as the result of an automobile collision at Seventh and L Streets, Northwest. Mrs. Doye was killed when the Ford automobile in which she was riding was thrown ten feet and overturned. It was struck by a Marmon limousine which was being chased by revenue officers. The coroner's jury in fixing responsibility for the death went on record as being opposed to the reckless manner in which prohibition officers chase bootleggers through crowded streets. In its verdict the jury said that they "deplore the fact that excessive speed is used by police and revenue officers in pursuit of violators of the Volsead Act." The inquest was enlivened by a tilt between Alfred Goldstein an attorney in the law offices of James A. O'Shea, and Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt. Attorney Goldstein was representing Brown. He declined to permit his client to make any statement regarding the tragedy. At the time of the collision, the Marmon car was being driven by Hammond, west on L Street. Brown was riding with him in the front seat. Alberta Makell, 30, 456 King's Court, Northwest, was riding in the rear seat. Police say that the Marmon was making 60 miles an hour. They were being purchased by Revenue Agents Guy Rone and Eugene Jackson. The Ford car was going north on Seventh Street. Just as it had about crossed the intersection, the Marmon crashed into it and knocked it over on the curb, turning it over. Mrs. Doye was picked up about 10 feet from the car, put in the side car of a motorcycle and rushed to Freedmen's Hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival by Dr. William Welch. The Ford car was owned and operated by William Allen, of Falls Church, Va. He is in a serious condition at Freedmen's Hospital. Julyia Payne, of the O Street, address, who was also riding in the Ford at the time, is in the Emergency Hospital in a critical condition. She was pinned underneath the car. The wing bolt of the windshield was driven into her skull. Police found it necessary to saw the bolt from the frame to release her. Julia Payne, of the O Street address, and William Waters, Twenty-eighth and N Streets, Northwest, were also injured in the collision. Eugene Jackson, the colored Federal Prohibition Agent, testified at the inquest that he and Revenue Agent Guy Rone spotted the Marmon in Neal Place, Northwest. It was about to be stopped at the curb, he said, when somebody yelled and it sped away. At fifth Street and Neal Place, he stated, somebody threw something out of the Marmon but he and Officer Rone did not stop to see what it was. The Marmon turned south into Fifth Street and west into L Street. At Seventh and L Streets the collision occurred. The two men jumped from the Marmon and ran leaving the woman in the car. Revenue Agent Jackson captured Brown in an alley and brought him back to the scene. Some hours later Hammond was arrested in the garage in the rear of 1516 K Street, Northwest. Jackson also testified that Hammond after his arrest admitted that he had stolen the car for a joy-ride and that they had stopped while Brown bought liquor. The revenue officers claim that a half gallon of whiskey was found in the Marmon. The Makell woman was ordered held as a material witness. The Government was represented at the inquest by Assistant United States Attorney Walter M. Shea.

WASHINGTONTRIES TO SECURE 1928 CONFERENCE WASHINGTONTRIES TO SECURE 1928 CONFERENCE Washington will make a determined fight to land the 1928 General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church. This was the verdict of a group of prominent churchmen and business men who assembled at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church last Monday afternoon. A general committee and a committee of citizens were named, who, jointly, will present the idea to the business men of Washington and lead the campaign for the selection of Washington before the conference committee which will meet at John Wesley A. L.E. Zion Church, August 3. This committee will have full charge of selecting the next convention city, Besides Washington, New York, St. Louis, and Birmingham are active bidders for the convention. Washington has one representative on this committee; the Rt. Rev. Bishop E. D. W. Jones. The fight in the committee for selection of Washington will therefore fall on his shoulders. However, another member of the committee was, until the last general conference, a pastor here, the Rev. W. O. Carrington. The presiding bishop of this Episcopal District, Bishop Caldwell, is also a member. The general conference of the A. M.E. Zion Church last met here in 1900. Many, prominent in the high affairs of the church, believe that it is a good time for it to again come to Washington. Besides being the capital of the nation, Washington offers more for the entertainment of the general conference, as well as the many visitors than any other city that could be selected. There are nearly 25 Zion Churches here with an approximate membership of 10,000. The denomination owns the Windsor Apartment building at 1435 T Street, Northwest while two of the general departments of the church have their headquarters here. Attorney S. M. Dudley is church extension secretary, and Dr. W. W. Matthews is foreign missionary secretary. Both departments are located in the Windsor building. The committee in charge of selecting the next city for the general conference, which will meet in May, 1928 is composed of: Bishop L. W. Kyles, Winston-Salem, N.C.; Bishop George C. Clement, Louisville, Ky.; Bishop P. A. Wallace, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Bishop E. D. W. Jones, Washington, D.C.; Bishop J. S. Caldwell, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. W. O. Carrington, New Rochelle, N.Y.; Dr. S. D. Davis, Mobile, Ala.; Dr. W. D. Speight, Indianapolis, Ind.; Dr. J. W Brown, New York City; Dr. H. H. Jackson, St Louis, Mo.; Editor Oscar W. Adams, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. W. O. Taylor, Boston, Mass.; Dr. E. L. Watkins, Knoxville, Tennessee; Mr. J. S. Standback, Chester, S.C., and Mr. D. P. Lynn, Norfolk Va. The two committees seeking to bring the conference to Washington are: general committee: Bishop J. S. Caldwell, chairman ex-officio. (Bishop Caldwell has charge of this Episcopal District and is also a member of the General Conference Committee.) Bishop E. D. W. Jones, associate; Rev. H. T. Medford, chairman; Rev. C. C. Williams, secretary; Rev. W. D. Battle, Rev. E. B. Watson, Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, Rev. O. L. Rand, and Rev. W. R. Jones. Citizens' executive committee: C. W. Banton, chairman; M. M. Harris, secretary; J. F. Holland, I. J. D. Lipscam, John R. R. Hawkins, William A. Bowie, S. M. Dudley and Dr. W. W. Matthews. --- PUBLISHED WEEKLY 一 WASHINGTON man M Washington Ba J.

LOUIS NEWSPAPER FOLKS VISITS Mr. William Mitchell, business manager of the St. Louis Argus publishing company accompanied by his wife, and Mrs. J. E. Mitchell, wife of the editor of the Argus, were visitors in Washington last week. They had attended the Sesquicentennial in Philadelphia and made a stop over here. While in the city the party visited the plant of the Tribune and the Murray Brothers' Printing Company. DRUGGIST ASS'N HOLDS PICNIC AT HYATTSVILLE The Colored Druggists' Association of Washington with about two hundred members of their families and other friends motored to Hyattsville Md., on July 22 where the annual outing of the organization was held on the estate of Dr. R. F. Plummer a retired druggist. More than forty motor cars were assembled on the premises when a Tribune representative visited the party. From noon until midnight revelry prevailed. Dr. Merritt and W. S. Wilkins won a horse shoe pitching contest. There were card games, foot racing of several sorts with a special one for the kiddies. At six o'clock, the entire party was served dinner on the lawn. The bill of fare with a chicken "Piece De Resistance" was an ample one that reflects credit upon the committee in charge. Refreshments were constantly available. Ice cream and soft drinks were found in profusion. After dinner the Bluebird orchestra directed by Lewis Thomas Muggs, whose services were donated at the expense of three wholesale drug concerns of the city played on the doctor's front porch, and the guests, many of whom were from distant cities, danced on an especially constructed dance floor. There were guests from every profession, and they came from Harrisburg, Baltimore and Philadelphia for the drugists were generous in the range of their hospitality. They even provided road markers so that motorists seeking the place could not go wrong. The officers of the organization are Dr. Frank V. Bacchus president; Dr F. A. Miles, vice-president; Dr W. H. Jackson, secretary-treasurer. The committee charged with the details of the outing were Dr. A. C. Burwell, Dr R. F. Plummer, Dr Jackson, Dr B. F. Hailstork and E. F. Harris, the latter being committee secretary. Other members of the organization are: Charles B. Beckwith, W. L. Board, J. L. Davidson, W. C. Goines, C. L. Harris, E. E. Howley, B. H. Hunton, F. A. Miles, J. W. Morse, G. W. Murray, W. P. Napper, W. W. Phillips, A. T. Pride, Charles F. Rice, W. C. Simmons, C. A. Twine, V. B. Walker, W. W. Whips A number of manufacturers and distributors of merchandise carried by the druggists in their stores, contributed to the success of the affair. Among those donating supplies, decorations or otherwise were the Mme. C. J. Walker Company, Southern Dairies and the Carry Ice Cream Company. TO SPEND YEAR IN EUROPE Mrs. Bertha Williams, 1916 9th Street, Northwest, left Washington Wednesday morning for New York City where she will board the S. S. Caronia Friday at noon for London. She will remain abroad one year, visiting Paris, Switzerland, Rome and other places of importance. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1926 BARRISTERS HAVE OUTING AT COUNTRY CLUB BARRISTERS HAVE OUTING AT COUNTRY CLUB Unprogrammed Event was Feature of the day The members of the Washington Bar Association, at least a great number of them, laid aside litigation and musty tomes to spend a day at the Capital City Country Club on July 17. A committee had been for some time planning an outing that would enable the legal minds to get together with no client's interests to interfere with their contacts, or to requisition their services for aught but fun for a day. The committee did well; but it remained for the Maryland State Police Bureau, through one of its conscientious and zealous members to give punch to the occasion. Between that officer and the outing scheduled, Justice Everhard B. Hatch was obliged to be host to more Negro legal lights than had ever adorned the Laurel Court before in its entire history. Thereby hangs a tale. As befits the station of those practicing before he bar of the District, the members of the association and their guests motored to the club. As is usual to our folks, Saturday is a pay day that even berrister cannot afford to disregard, hence, many of the attorneys were later than the scheduled 1 p. m., set for starting. As is natural, they were of joy, and perchance some among them speeded a bit. At least it was so alleged by a motor policeman who motioned to Robert J. Bowler to pull up to the curb at a point just cast of Muirkirk, Md. Later, the august counsellor was requested to "follow me"; said following leading directly to the court of a Justice of Peace in Laurel. He was a nice policeman and proved it by permitting Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia; Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, J. C. Waters, secretary of Howard Law School, and J. A. Jackson, Tribune representative to get out of GRICE WILL IS A BRIEF DOCUMENT The National Savings Trust Company is named as trustee of the estate of the late George W. Grice in his will filed for probate last week. Mr. Grice died June 26, last. The National Savings Trust Company is authorized and empowered to continue his undertaking business at Twelfth and R Streets, Northwest, with his wife, Mrs. Mary L. Grice, in charge, so long as it deems it wise to do so. The net income is given to Mrs. Grice. Upon her death, according to the conditions of the will, the trust shall cease and the entire estate shall go to his issue. The National Savings Trust Company is directed to permit Eugene R. Russell to occupy premises at No. 1809 Eighth Street, Northwest, as long as he desires, without the payment of taxes or any expenses. After his death, his wife shall have the same privilege, the will directs. Any part or all of the estate may be sold by the trust company. Any sale of the real estate while Mrs. Grice is living, however, must have her consent in writing. The will is dated June 22, 1926 four days before Mr. Grice died. I was witnessed by Thomas Walker Edmund Hill, Jr., and Robert B. Tyler MUSICIANS' UNION CLOSES HOWARD THEATRE Ethel Waters and her revue were obliged to close at the Howard Theater on Thursday by an action of the American Federation of Musicians at the instance of the local organization of which Sylvester Thomas is president. The house has been listed with the national organization for some time as "unfair." At the close of the show Wednesday night, Mr. Thomas notified the show orchestra, all of whom are members of Local 802, the largest in the country located in New York City, that they could not continue to work in the house; and that the American Federation of Musicians assumed the cost of their salaries from that moment. The show carried five union musicians, and they had been working with two members of the house orchestra who are non-union musicians. Earl Dancer owner of the show and Mr. Litchman, house owner made appeals to Frank Weber, national president who arranged for an interview with legislative agent A. C. Hayden located in Washington. These men with the president of the Colored Actors. Union conferred with Mr. Hayden on Wednesday afternoon, but to no avail. Miss Waters was denied the right to permit her musicians to work and was informed that her show would be liable to a listing as unfair, if she continued work in the house. Miss Waters' position as a record star, and the character of special music she employs in her work obliges her to work with a steady group of musicians and she could not afford to jeopardize her future by antagonizing the union. She declined to perform Wednesday afternoon. The house management for economic reasons could not see its way clear to contract for a union crew and orchestra. No written score is provided for her music. The result was that the show was obliged to withdraw from the house on Thursday night. This withdrawal brought on a conflict between the managementes of the show and the theater as to adjustment of the percentage with a guarantee contract that the show had with the house. Adjustment of this will perhaps reach the courts. Efforts are being made to reopen the house tonight, and further arrangements must be made to protect the incoming show, the Drake and Walker company whose musicians are very likely union people since the show has worked over the Columbia Circuit which consists of a unionized group of theaters. MARRIED TWENTY - EIGHT YEARS. ASKS DIVORCE MARRIED TWENTY - EIGHT YEARS. ASKS DIVORCE After a marriage of 28 years, Mrs. Amelia Green, of 1703 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, is asking the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to grant her an absolute divorce from her husband, Jeremiah Green, 131 Reeves Court, Northwest. She charges him with infidelity and names Elizabeth Dyer of North Brentwood, Md., as the correspondent. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Green alleges that her husband and the correspondent misconducted themselves at No. 619 L Street, Northwest, at various times between January, 1920, and July, 1925, while the correspondent was living at that address. She further charges that he lived with the correspondent at 707 P Street, Northwest, from August, 1925, until he moved to North Brentwood. may she moved to North Bremen. Any.

Newman as senior officer, will close their summer maneuvers at Saunders Range, Md., and entrain for home over the W.B. and A on Sunday morning, July 25, arriving in Washington about 11:30 o'clock. It had not been determined when the Tribune representatives were at the camp on Tuesday, whether the company would parade to the armory at Twelfth and U Streets, Northwest, or whether cars would be provided to meet them at the station. On Sunday the camp had a number of visitors from Baltimore and Washington. The visitors were entertained with a guard mount ceremony. On Monday, Governor Ritchie of Maryland, with Adjutant General Record of Maryland National Guard, inspected the camp and at the conclusion of a battalion drill, the Governor expressed his pleasure at the soldierly-like manner in which the maneuvers had been executed. Later Governor Ritchie and the General posed for a photograph with Captain Newman. The final days of the encampment were devoted to rifle practice on the range, and Captain Newman expects about half of his men in both companies to qualify as marksmen in one of the three classifications. The boys in fatigue uniforms were at work on the range in the several designated postures when the Tribune visitors arrived in camp, at noon. After mess they returned with considerable enthusiasm to the arduous task of winning medals that are the reward of hard work and efficiency. The boys of the outfit seemed happy and there appeared to be little for Medical Officer Captain Ridgely to do Camp sanitation was perfect, and the cook house was functioning to suit officers, men and visitors. The personnel of the company includes the following, many of whom showed "hash marks," and medals that tell of much previous experience in the arts of war that was not acquired in a summer camp.

Moses W. D. Norman, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church at Twelfth and R Streets, Northwest, who resides at 1933 Thirteenth St., Northwest, was taken suddenly ill on Monday morning and has since then been in a very serious condition. He is under the care of Dr. M. O. Dumas. On Wednesday, July 21, he was married in a bedside ceremony to Ethel M. Fitzhugh, a hairdresser of 1613 Thirteenth Street, Northwest. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Francis E. Pree an unattached minister whose home is at 2035 Fifth Street, Northwest. A woman roomer in the home and the trained nurse are the witnesses of record. The bride is a comely lady whose marriage license mentions her age as being 34 years. Rev. Norman is 58 years of age. No information was forthcoming in response to inquiries at Rev. Norman's residence on the subject of the marriage, which at first, was take place August 7. The Tribune interviewed the bride, but she declined to mention her maiden name. She is said to have come to Washington from Virginia about twelve years ago. At one time she made her home at the house of Rev. and Mrs. Norman. Since the death of his first wife, Rev. Norman has been keeping house with a niece domiciled in the home. Early in May, Dr. Ellis Ward Norman, a brother of Rev. Norman died and was buried in Plymouth, N.C. Since then the niece, Mrs. Ruffin, who is Rev. Norman's only living relative changed her place of abode, leaving the city some few weeks ago. Dr. Norman, according to his physician is very sick. On Thursday, visitors were not allowed to see him. A trained nurse is in constant attendance. Not even visiting cards could be sent to him. The outcome of his illness is in grave doubt. He suffers with a serious throat trouble. No definite information is given out by the household. Dr. Dumas expresses hopefulness for him, but his condition is admittedly grave. He has been in failing health for the past two years. Dr. Norman came to Washington after having occupied the post of president of Virginia Theological Seminary at Lynchburg, Va.

Were it now possible for me to sum up the labor expended upon each of them, it would just about equal the benefits each of the other children is to receive under this will." The bulk of the estate is given to his wife, Mrs. Henrietta F. Childs; his son, Creed W. Childs, Jr., and two daughters, Mrs. Rosa Childs Baughman, and Miss Beatrice O. Childs.

They lived happily together, she states, until July, 1923, when he deserted her and remained away until April 4, 1924. While in the country, she says, he began to neglect her by staying away two and three nights a week and refusing to give her any money for any other necessities than food.

THOMPSON III A benefit dance for the girls' dormitory at the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, Ridge, Md., will be held at the hall of the Good Shepherd Church on Tuesday, August 3rd, and at Green Willow Park. August 11th, for the Holy Name Guild. Dr. S. S. Thompson, widely known physician, and prominent Masonic official living at 937 R Street, suffered a physical collapse last Friday that necessitated his being moved to Freedmen's Hospital where he is under the care of Dr. E. C. Terry. He has been ill at intervals for a couple of years, but he did not regard his condition as being serious. Side Lights on the Eucharistic Concerns Wm. A. Prater and John L. Thorne, while attending the Eucharistic Congress were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene J. Marshall, Mr. Marshall is a prominent Catholic attorney of Chicago. The visitors met Jesse Binga, banker, and Dr. Wilberforce Williams. When Col. Marshall, formerly of Alexandria, Va., found out that the visitors were well acquainted with some of his boyhood friends, the interview was delightful. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Paris Mr. and Mrs. Nellie Alexander, St. Elizabeth's Church with Fathers Duckette, Theobald and C. Da. Silva from Apmer, India, and Mr. and Mrs. Van Marshall. Dr. Thompson is Grand Commander of the Knights Templars of the District of Columbia, and is chairman of the board of trustees of the Accacia Grand Lodge. In the latter capacity much of the work involved in the refinancing of the Masonic building and the repurchase of of the incomplete structure by the board of trustees when the sale of the structure was ordered by the court, fell upon his shoulders. This added burden seems to have proved too much. The strenuous campaigning and visiting upon the lodges and Eastern Star Chapters no doubt contributed much toward sapping his energies. They motored fifty miles in Canada and they stayed with Mrs. Marshall's aunt and uncle. At Freedmen's Hospital he was reported to be resting very well on Thursday afternoon, and every hope for his complete recovery was indicated. His wife remains almost constantly at his bedside spending as much time with him as the doctors will permit. He is reported to be suffering with a cardio-renal ailment affecting the heart and kidneys. On Monday, Mr. Marshall took the visitors through one of the Ford motor plants that employs 55,000 men of whom 10,000 are colored. Mr. Marshall has a trusted position in the office being the only man of the race so honored. He is the mediator of all the colored employees. Ninth Annual Outing, Picnic & Ball GIVEN BY JAMES F.

HIGHLAND BEACH ELECTION AROUSES INTEREST The election of commissioners for the incorporated town of Highland Beach, Ann Arundel County, Md., largely populated by Washington people and their families is attracting much more interest than is normally expected from an election in a community of that size. The town has become divided into two camps, more or less adverse to one another on matters pertaining to town management, Meanwhile, the interest that is being manifested in the coming election set for July 31 is being reflected in conferences and interviews in several sections of the capital. Public meetings and semi-public conferences are daily occurrences in Highland Beach itself. The policy of the community with reference to several general improvements will be indicated by the retention or rejection of the present commissioners who are standing for reelection on the records of their administrations and upon the avowed policy they have been adhering to in the matter of town developments. The Citizen's Association of Highland Beach met there Saturday afternoon at which time the reports of the various committees were received. Upon vote of the citizens, Treasurer Norman Murray was appointed a committee of one to collect donations for the Eastport Fire Company and reported nearly $70. Mrs. Audie Lewis reported $200 raised towards a pavilion fund. As yet no location in Highland Beach has been decided upon. The people would like to have the pavilion on the beach. Some provision will be made by another season. The election will have a bearing upon this matter. The important matter before the people was the statement of the mayor, who in view of disquiting rumors that had been circulated in which suit had been threatened by one of the owners of the property against the commission for removing trees from the middle of the most travelled street of the town, gave a history of the acts of the commission of the year. Hon, Perry Howard acting as counsel for the commission presented briefs of law which showed that the mayor and commissioners were within their rights in acting for the town's people and removing obstructions from the streets. The mayor indicated that the people in this new attempt at local self government should not be neglectful of their citizenship rights and should cast aside sentiment and social relationships in the interest of the town's present and future. He urged that the people support their elected officers who are striving to bring the town out of the woods, make attractive and serviceable roadways and safeguard the beach privileges for the present and future generations.

I WILL HELP YOU TO REGAIN HEALTH Dear Friend: Have you or any of your friends lost their health? My many years of experience have taught me that out of every 12 families, we usually find 6 out of those 12, affected with chronic ailments, and usually from not observing their health and allowing themselves to reach the chronic stage. Every good-thinking person should be examined twice a year to avoid chronic ailments. Many people delay their complaints and say that they only have indigestion. Over one-half of the cases are chronic gastritis with neuritic conditions. Usually neuritis accompanies chronic indigestion and gastritis together comes to be a complication of diseases. My many years of experience have taught me that the first symptoms of chronic indigestion. We now have more than one kind of indigestion. I am always pleased to have you come to my office and to explain chronic diseases to you. It brings such a peculiar feeling. Chronic diseases are not one single symptom, but are more than seven symptoms. It comes to be complicated that it takes possession of the entire system and affects the general organs to such an extent that the blood becomes impure. In every instance a woman or girl is one of the most peculiar sex to make a study of. Their symptoms are so peculiar in so many instances, where gastric organs come to be affected by gastric and neuritic condition. Many times it affects the entire abdomen, with kidney and liver troubles accompanying it. Usually when a woman begins to suffer with neuritic and gastritic troubles, for about three or four years, the symptoms will always be so affective upon the ovaries and womb that in many instances they resemble appendicitis. I am always willing to furnish information free. I hope that this letter will be a help to you and your family, as I am always pleased to do something for the help of humanity.

MASONIC PILGRIMAGE TO BOSTON PROMISES TO BE BIGGEST IN HISTORY Washington Party to Have Special Train The assembly of Knights Templars, A.E.O. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and the seven appendant orders based upon Prince Hall Masonry during the week of August 23 to 27 in Boston, promises to be the greatest in the history of the Fraternity that was founded, insofar as our group is concerned, by Prince Hall in that city more than a century ago. Syria Temple of Shrines, the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts and Rhode Island Templars, and the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts will be joint hosts to the visiting bodies. Charles D. Freeman, Imperial Treasurer of the Shriners is chairman of the committee in charge of the arrangements to transport the local organizations. Joseph Miner and Charles Hale are his associates. This committee has arranged for a special train of six pullman cars and the usual auxiliary equipment that will leave Washington over the Pennsylvania Railroad at 7:30 p.m., August 21, running through to Boston without change of cars. The train is due to arrive early Sunday morning, August 22. The Washington party will include the patrol and delegates from Mecca Temple No. 10, the drill teams, official staff and many members of both Henderson and Simon Commanderies, the officials of Assembly Commandery, a big delegation from Oasis Court No. 2, of the Daughters of Isis, and the District representatives to the International Council Royal Arch Masons and the Conference of Grandmasters. The train from Washington will perhaps be the most important of the many special trains that will arrive at Boston for the occasion due to the fact that many of the higher officials of the different organizations from Washington and points South, together with a number of large delegations will travel with the Washington people on their train. Several special cars originating elsewhere will be attached to the train. Among the important officials who will enter Boston with the Washington party will be Caesar R. Blake, Jr., Imperial Potentate of the Shriners, who with an escort from Ramas Temple of Charlotte, N.C., and accompanied by C. B. Bailey, chairman of the Imperial Auditing Committee and Past Potentate Zach. Alexander of Charlotte, will arrive in Washington August 21, and take up re- R.O.T.C.SUMMER CAMP CLOSES R.O.T.C.SUMMER CAMP CLOSES HOWARD UNIT MAKES GOOD The Howard University Unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps U.S.A., designated as Company D, of the regiment of instruction that has been at Camp Meade, Md., for the past six weeks, broke camp on Thursday. There were twenty-four Howard University boys in the company with six students from Wilberforce and one, William L. Payne from City College of New York. The boys proceeded to camp on June 10 under command of Warrant Officer P. C. Clayton and Sergeant Dorsey Rhodes, assistant instructors of military tactics at Howard University. Both are men with long and commandable records in the regular army, a fact that contributed much to the special commendation for administration and discipline that was published on the closing day of the camp. Company D was complimented by the commanding officer as having the best kept quarters and company streets in the camp. Captain Francis A. Burne, U.S. Infantry, D.O.L., and Captain Frank A. Linnell, acting as his assistant, had charge of the company while in camp. Warrant Officer Clayton and Sergeant Rhodes were assistant instructors at camp. The members of the Howard unit were; Earl Darnel Bridges, Emerson Waldo Browne, Walter Lewis Carter, John Raymond Curtis, Castine A. Davis, Charles W. Dawson, John Freeman Edwards, William Henry Hopkins, Melvin Francis Janifer, Alfred Martin, George B. Miller, Douglas L. Monroe, Chauncey Parker, William Henry Payne, Herman Henley Powers, Andrew Leo Radcliffe, William Henry Smith, James Henry Taylor, James C. D. Walker, James Edward Walker, Theodore T. Watkins, Togo D. West, Oliver W. Wilson, Kenneth E. Young F. Young. The Wilberforce University detachment included Richard C. Abel, Albert P. Byrd, Harry T. Leubers, Alexander Stout, William A. Tisdale and James S. Jackson. and James of the unit, qualified as marksmen. James E. Walker was winner of the Sam Brown belt for the best score on the range. He made 194 out of a possible 250. Charles W. Dawson and William Hopkins were next with scores of 190. were here. George W. Miller of Howard and Albert P. Byrd of Wilberforce were commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S.A. Officers reserve. While the boys did not average as high as in other years in their records, there were mitigating circumstances. One handicap was the lack of enough men taking the course to provide a full company for maneuvers. Another is economic. The boys, most of whom are obliged to do part time work during the winter school terms do not have the chance at target practice, nor are some other facilities available that are afforded at some universities. The result is that they go into camp with less preliminary servations already made on the special train. Imperial Auditor Wesley Dobbs, of the Order at Large will also join the party here. Dr. A. W. Brazier, Imperial High Priest and Prophet of the Shriners and Grand Commander of the Knights Templars of Louisiana, will head a Pullman car party from New Orleans that will spend a day in Washington going out with the special train. J. S. Steinback, Grand High Priest of South Carolina Royal Arch Masons, will leave Chester, S.C., with the delegation from that state and will likewise spend a day in Washington in order to be on the big train. He is the president of the International Conference of the R.A.M.; J. W. Singleton, of Aiken, S.C., Grand Commander of the Knights of the state with his staff will be in the South Carolina delegation. S. S. Richardson, of Daytona, Fla., Imperial Oriental Guide will be among those from the South. He will accompany a special car unde rthe direction of Grand Masters D. D. Powell.

Shrine Temples from the cities mentioned will join the party as they pass through. preparation which obliges even more intensive work than fails to the lot of some others. There is not the volume of complaint as to discrimination this year as followed previous camps. Every facility for study, work and military development was provided; but the social phases of camp life were somewhat restricted. No hours were allotted to Company D on the bathing pool schedule, nor were they permitted to participate in either the general program of baseball games, although a full equipment for playing among themselves was provided. The company was not invited to take part in the track events in which all other units participated; but were paraded with the battalion when the winners were presented prizes. The usual Friday dances were denied them. Post officers rendered every possible assistance in the giving of two affairs of their own, one being on the Fourth of July night. The only open friction that threatened the peace of the camp was the effort on the part of a military police usher who declared that the colored boys should be seated in the rear of the picture theater on the camp grounds. Protest however, brought a denial of his having any such instructions from headquarters and the incident was closed. The boys' health was uniformly good during the whole six weeks and every one of them showed the benefit of their period of rigorous discipline. All seemed happy when the Tribune visitors saw them in camp. Other units in the regiment came from Augusta Military Academy, Fort Delance, Va.; Drexel Institute, Philadelphia, Pa.; Fishburn Military School, Waynesboro, Va.; Fork Union Military Academy, Fork Union, Va.; Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.; Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, Pa.; John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md.; Lafayette College, Easton, Pa.; Lehigh University, Bethelle, Pa.; Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pa.; Staunton Military Academy, Staunton, Va.; University of Maryland, College Park, Md.; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.; Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, Va.; and Western Maryland College, Westminster, Md. These units, many of them from avowed military schools, set a high standard of work. In battalion drills, regimental formations and special military ceremonies, there were no discriminations, and the Negro boys were obliged to measure up on their merits. ALICE RHINELANDER DENIES SHE IS HUNTING KIP Protesting a love as strong as that of other days, Alice Jones Rhinelander, wife of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, sailed for Europe on the White Star Liner Majestic Saturday, July 17. She doubts the accuracy of reports concerning her husband being in Paris, and says she is not going across to find him. The only purpose of the voyage, she said, is to visit relatives of her mother who live in England. Her mother, Mrs. George Jones is with her.

REV. WILLIS RETURNS FROM REVIVAL IN CONNECTICUTT Reverend James E. Willis of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, who has been in Bridgeport, Conn., conducting a series of revival meetings, will be home Saturday and it is announced that he will resume his place in the pulpit of the reconstructed church this Sunday. At one p.m., he is to preach the funeral sermon of Rev. James Sewall, a member of his hurch who died on July 19 at Freedmen's Hospital. The deceased was a student for the ministry who at the completion of his course failed in health. There were intimations that the absence of the Reverend Willis from Washington was connected with some dissatisfaction in the management of the church, however, this seems to be unfounded. He went away in response to an invitation that was announced from his pulpit more than two months ago. Officers of the church admitted that there were some slight disagreements that were of minor character, which have been ironed out. At the home of Reverend Willis, his wife declined to comment on the rumors further than to confirm the information that her husband would be home on Sunday. Mrs. Willis who is a very ardent worker in the church and whose activities has been responsible for the raising of several funds that have helped to finance the reconstruction of the church building, was in conference with several ladies of one of the church subsidiaries. From these ladies it was definitely learned that Rev. Willis' trip had long been contemplated. A statement that had been affloat that the pastor had not attended a banquet given before his departure from the city was denied with the information that he had attended the affair, which was a dollar dinner given to raise funds for the church, and which was a financial success. The difference between the minister and some of the church members is reported to have been upon the request of the board of deacons to their minister to forego the usual anniversary celebration and collection due to the fact that the collections necessary to financing the church alterations were in their minds of more immediate importance. The minister is reported to have differed with them as to this course, and insisted upon the customary practice, and he sent out envelopes as usual. Two hundred dollars is estimated total of the returns from these as against about a thousand dollars on previous years. The minister, it is alleged by some, then insisted upon sharing in the profits of the dinner that was served. Here, too, the deacons differed. All of this occurring just prior to Paul Willis' Get Down Your Dictionary and Win the Money!

Rudolph chairman of the Board of District Commissioners, last Saturday by Fire Marshal L. V. Selb. The report was sent to the Department of the Interior because appropriations for the university are made through that department. The report referred in detail to the fact that not only the seating section, but all the supports underpinning it, are of wooden construction, and on one side there are frame buildings under the stands. The supports of the stands should be fireproof. Mr. Selb pointed out. "A certain degree of fire hazard will be created under these stands and seats by the dropping of inflammable material, such as newspapers, programs, peanut shells, wrappers from confections, etc., which may be ignited from cigarette stubs or matches dropped from the stands by smokers," said the report. "Especially will this be true in that portion where buildings are located below. The wooden roofs over these are covered with tin, but come directly under supports and seats, forming a catchall for the inflammable material described." BOXING BOARD VETOES DEMPSEY-TUNEY FIGHT BOXING BOARD VETOES DEMPSEY-TUNEY FIGHT New York, July 21.—The last chance to bring Dempsey and Tunney here, was piked at the regular meeting of the Boxing Commission yesterday when a motion to reconsider opposition to it made by William Muldoon, was voted down, 2 to 1. Muldoon moved that the case, so to speak, be re-opened. Messrs. Brower and Farley voted to table the motion and so ended a last minute hope that New York and not Chicago would get the big fistic treat. There does not seem to be a possible chance of the bout coming here after that. There were those who pretended to know the case would be re-opened as it was yesterday and that Brower was going to join Muldoon in voting to lift the ban and enable Tex Richard to promote the bout at the Yankee Stadium. Farley repeated his oft-spoken objection to Dempsey meeting anybody until he has gone through a bout with Harry Wills. Much pressure was brought to bear, it was said, in an effort to have the commission reconsider.

Mackey, sports editor of the Afro-American, resigned last week to become city editor of the newly organized Herald-Commonwealth, another Baltimore paper. Mr. Mackey has been connected with journalism for a period of 15 years and is considered an authority on sports. He was on the staff of the Afro-American for three years. While with the Afro he conducted two pages of sport news that was considered by many to equal some of the sport pages of the dailies. He is at present at his home in Virginia where he will rest for a few days returning to Baltimore July 22 to start work on the Herald-Commonwealth. Associated with Mr. Mackey is S. Snowden, former circulation manager of the Afro. Several thousand dollars added capital have been invested in the Herald-Commonwealth and the newly organized paper is expected to be the equal of the best weekly papers published.

LEDROIT TIGERS DROP DOUBLE-HEADER By "Flash" Robeson Facing a different class ball team than they generally meet, the LeDroit Tigers, District of Columbia semipro champions, proved no match for the Bethlehem Steel nine last Sunday afternoon at Sparrows Point, Md. and dropped both ends of a doubleheader to the steelmen, 7 to 0 and 4 to 1. The Bethlehem Steel company nine had on it both former big and minor league players. Baldwin, a former New York Giants' pitcher, played right field. Artigiani and Goetzel, formerly of the Baltimore Orioles; Vaeth and Costello, formerly of the Newark International League team, and Atkinson, formerly of the York, TriState League team, were in the line-up. In the first game, the Washington boys were completely outclassed. The Tigers failed to play heads up baseball. After the steelmen scored three runs in the first inning, the Tigers began to ride each other. The steelmen hit both Adams and Nickens hard, while Costello and Atkinson allowed the LeDroit batters but four hits each. Bethlehem Steel Le Droit Tigers Ab.R.H. Ab.R.H.

COLORED BOXERS FEATURE AT KENILWORTH Colored boxers will again occupy prominent spots on the Kenilworth Arena ring program on Tuesday when in the main event, Young Montreal uncrowned king of the bantams and conqueror of Joe Lynch, Pete Herman, Pancho Villa, Abe Goldstein and Kid Williams, faces Harry Brandon, New York's most recent fistic sensation. In a six round semi-final Jack Kinney, Howard University star boxer and all around athlete, takes on Clarence Thomas, 220 pound colored heavy who recently boxed a twenty-five round draw in Paris, France, opposite Omaha Jack Taylor. This is a return match, Kinney having won the last setto in a Baltimore bout which is still recalled as the greatest heavyweight mill in the Oriole City ever witnessed. In a four round special event Kid Woody, the hard-hitting colored welter from the Government Printing Office, takes on Tiger Rose Carroll, of Center Market. Both can punch like all sin. Matchmaker Heinie Miller is trying to weed out the local colored boxers until some of them stand out as of sufficient class to warrant matching them with better known ringmen from other cities. The winner of the Kinney-Thomas match is to be offered a "big shot" at some leading heavy before the snow flies over Kenilworth. UNION LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

Carter in the first and second eights of medal play. Jackson made the best qualifying score, a 62 for 18 holes, par for the 9-hole course being 28. L. W. Waters, caddie at the Washington Country Club, was runner-up to Jackson, being beaten 4 up and 2 to play. Carter beat G. W. Jackson, runner-up, 3 up and 2 to go. The final blind handicap "tombstone" tournament was won handily by William E. Reed. Reed qualified Saturday for 13 holes with an 82, and was allowed an 80 for the tournament, with which he went 21 holes, taking all records for the course. Cups were awarded the winners, presentation being made by Dr. M. L. T. Grant and J. A. Lankford. The tournament was managed by John M. Shippen, who with Harry Jackson will play in the Maple Dale, Mass., tournament on Labor Day. The tournament gets its "Jim Crow" character from the fact that colored persons are restricted to the use of one link on which it is played. There are eighteen public golf courses in Washington.

Sir Rider Haggard's sensational story "She" returned by popular demand. Betty Blythe is the star, "She" is a story of a queen who lived to be 2,000 years old. "She" is unique in many respects, and particularly in one, as it tells a picture story of the most wonderfully formed woman this earth has ever known. Sparkling splendor and gorgeousness are in this picture with a love drama of smashing climaxes yet replete with delicate situations.

State Street, Chicago, II "My Magnolia" with the following visit: Hilda Rogers, Paul Bass, Percy Colston, Lionel Monagas, Dick Stewart, Barrington Carter, George Ranol, Claude Lawson, Alberta Perkins, Eddie Hunter, Estelle Floyd, Lena Stanford Roberts, Mabel Gant, Catheline Parker, did not open so auspiciously in New York according to the reviewers in the daily papers of the big town. The New York News says: "As a sort of colored supplement to a hot and fleeting season, 'My Magnolia,' a musical comedy glorifying the great god high-brown, blossomed at the Mansfield Theatre last night, and, like the sweltering audiences' collars, faded and wilted away. "There isn't much we can say either for or about 'My Magnolia.' It seems to follow the current Ziegfeld formula—it isn't naked and it isn't funny. In the words of the good folk living north of 135th Street, 'It's just too bad.'" The New York American succinctly states: "Last night's production was short on humor and short on definite songs, but long on dance. Not a one of the dusky maidens but shook her dainty feet in fascinating, inborn rhythm. And eight dapper youths in red cell-boy costumes stopped the show with their tap Charlestons, buck and vings, slides and acrobatics. "The singing is negligible, but never do the voices vary from true pitch; they are better singing than speaking, these actors, for the delivery of their lines is stilted." The Herald of Sunday pictures Albert Perkins as the one big surprise it of the show. Other papers credit the dancing boys with taking the honors. The show lasted just one week. It closed Saturday. NEW YORK YANKS SEE "LUCKY SAMRO." A party of forty members of the bankee Baseball Club and their wives occupied boxes last week at the Columbia Theatre as the guests of William aren, the manager, at a performance "Lucky Sambo."

SNYDER, Manager BROWN & MARGUERITE Whirlwind Dancers featuring An Apache Number, in Vaudeville Permanent: Care Washington Tribune 920 U Street, N.W. The Colored Actors Union held a most interesting special meeting at the Mid-City Theatre at 1 p.m. last Sunday. The fact that more than forty members responded to a two-day call was in itself an indication of unusual interest on the part of the performers in their organization. Some of the suggestors for financing their activities that were advanced during the session further indicated the seriousness with which many of them regard their need of progressive steps to improve conditions. Every proposal advanced by any speaker was one that connated personal sacrifice should the project advanced be adopted. There was no particular subject cataloged for the called session which had been made because there was an unusual number of performers in town. In addition to the normal number to meet the entertainment demands of local bookers, the Benbow Company of twenty-five people, the Henri Bowman company, Sid Easton and his trio, some representatives of the Georgia Minstrels laying over at Manassas, Va., and a few "at liberty" vaudeville acts augmented Washington's actors for the week. Among the speakers who gave expression to some sound views were Past President Jules McGarr, who has retired from the road and is now operating the Summit Hotel; J. Henri Bowman, vice-president; Boots Hope former secretary; Roscoe Montella and several others. President J. A. Jackson and Secretary Telfair Washington were at their respective posts. Among those present were: Deputies Sidney Easton, "Jolly Saunders," and "Happy" Kimball. Others were Doris Hanson, Henrietta Leggett Beulah Benbow, Beatrice Johnson Leola Watson, Mae Wilson, Elsic Byrd, Laura Bailey and Martha Capeeland. This was a splendid group of women who evidenced a sincere interest in the proceedings. Male members included Chance Oakley, Beulah Melacon, Buckwheat Stringer, C. J. Dane, Pee Wee Jordon, Billy Ewing, Frank Keith, Grant Kay, "Fat" Holden, Billekin Grimes, Melvin Hunter, James Rutherford, Robert Perregus, Lew Winston, Floyd Blakemore, Jesse Gines, H. Henry Criner, James C. Lewis, Al Reid, Speedy Wilson, John Jenkins, Leroy White, Garnett Warbington, Jules Weaver, and George Allen. The meeting voted unanimous approval of the plan presented by the executive officers to adopt the triplicate contract for the use of company managers and owners for the contracting of people. One of these will be given to the manager, one to the performer and the third copy of each contract drawn will be denosited with the secretary of the Union for recording, and to be used as the basis for adjustments that may follow contract jumping, non-payment of salaries, discharges without adequate notice, enticement or other breaches, all of which will hereafter be given cognizance by the Union office for the purpose of protecting manager and performer alike. Word comes from "Bridget" (Mrs. Ada L. Booker) of the "Silas Green" show to the effect that John Wilson who once played the part of "Uncle Ben Green" on that show is wanted by his sister who lives at Pulaski, Va. She has important business to communicate with him, that will be to his advantage. AUTO BATTERIES RECHARGED TUNGAR BATTERY STATION POTOMAC 2562 707 R St., N.W. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY.JULY 23.1926 J.A.JACKSON'S THEATRICAL PAGE ETHEL PACKS HOWARD; BILLY KING OUT OF SHOW Ethel Waters and her revue opened at the Howard Theatre on Monday to packed houses for three performances, doing precisely what was predicted. That girl surely has drawing power. The city was disappointed in that Billy King was not with the show. Billy had been on tour with Miss Watters for nineteen weeks, and the local Masons had arranged to do honor to the dean of theatrical Masonic peers, the National President of the Deacon club. Twenty-eight orchestra seats and two boxes had been reserved by the local Deacons corner who had proposed to greet Billy on the opening night. The boxes were for their guests, the Grand Lodge staff. After the show, Jules McGarr, Summit Hotel manager, himself a candidate for Supreme Council honors was to have banquetted the party. Billy and the management of the show had parted company late last week in Baltimore; and the social arrangements were called off. He is reported to have been in town long enough however to have had an attachment served on the show in his claim for salary that must, of course, be adjusted by the courts, since, according to report his engagement was on a verbal contract. Bond was made to cover this by Earl Dancer, manager of Miss Waters. Hotten and Hooten were added to the cast; and Hooten's old minister characterization "wowed" the house. His tall wife and her ante-bellum costume gave material aid to the fun-making in the act that we are advised is to be elaborated. A pair of dancing boys did all of Eddie Rector arrangement of pedal the Dewey Weinglass routine and stuff; and they can dance. One, however could be more certain of this the ultra fashionable wide trousers were replaced with something less buggy so that patrons might observe for themselves whether they are dancing or just shaking around in a clothes bag. Theresa Brooks is the soubrette. She leads a "Hula" number that is something new for her, and she does not register in it as she has in some other of her dainty society bits. She is clever, though. Marshall Rogers, for six years the partner of Billy King has the comedy burden and delivers the goods. Ten fifty choristers and a jazz band with the show makes the combination a real little attraction. DUSTY MURRAY COMPANY THE DUSTY MURRAY COMPANY The Dusty Murray company with a band is playing on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City to white audiences and reports indicate that the show is doing well. They are working under the title of the "Chocolate Town Revue." Dusty Murray and J. P. Jackson are managing the outfit with "Little Rastus." Belle Murray, Mabel Gringer, Pearl Swan, Helen Mills and Anna May Cole in the cast. Mrs. Blachman's five Keystone syncopators furnish the music. DUNBAR THEATRE R. H. MURRAY, Mgr.

BLEDSOE TO BE PRESENTED IN A PLAY TO BE CALLED "DEEP RIVER" Julius Bledsoe, the Negro baritone, whose debut at Aeolian Hall three years ago was a cheering surprise at the dreary end of a fagged-out music season, is rehearsing a role in "Deep River," by Laurence Stallings and W, Frank Harling, which represents Arthur Hopkin's first venture into the operatic field. Mr. Bledsoe is playing the part of a Voodoo King. We have never heard Mr. Bledsoe in this capacity, but if he can put into his voodoo cadences half of the eerie undertones he brings to "Water Boy," his engagement is one of the most promising features of this more than promising production. 7th and T Sts., N.W.

BOSTON DEACONS ORGANIZE AS CORNER 40 Boston is ready for the Deacons, New England Vice-President G. A. Pickett of New Haven, Conn., went into the Hub city last Sunday and set up Corner 40 that has long been in process of organization. He supervised the initiation of ten members and left the further work of attending to forty more to the newly installed local officers. The officers of Corner forty are: L. A. Henry of 10 Dodge Street, Cambridge; Senior Deacon Fred W. C mer; Junior Deacon Robert Johnson, 10 Dilworth Street, Boston, secretary, and James R. Davis, treasurer. Howard Pinn has been made honorary member for life and designated as the circuit rider for the state. Grand Secretary Ernest D. Cook upon whom the burden of entertaining the Masonic conventions falls was also made a lifetime honorary member. Arrangements have been made to set aside a room in the Masonic Temple for the Deacons' ceremonial and business sessions during the week of August 23-27. Musicians for the "perfect parade" have been arranged for. All that remains is for the Deacons at large to inform Corner 40 through its officers or the national secretary of their purpose to be in Boston to make the session a "perfect performance." Let's hear from the battered hats.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT It is not always the big demonstrations of prejudice, nor the bigger manifestations of the spirit of unfairness toward the Negro that accomplish the most damage. Little obstructions born of petty minded contempt are responsible for most of the handicaps to our advancement as part of whatever civilization may be claimed for our day and country. properly capitalized race names. The tendency to avoid any mention of the Negro in connection with a particular vogue, viz., the Charleston or the jazz and blues type of music when presenting stories of these things is another manifestation of the ungenerous policy of the general press. The policy seems to be to minimize any good the race may do and to place the maximum of stress upon its crime and misfortune. The general press of the country is only too often the instrument of unkindness. How often one may find in almost any newspaper a race reference that has been purposely worded so as to convey a slight, to minimize the consequence of some Negro activity, or to maintain in the mind of the reader a constant impression that the Negro is a thing different and apart from all other peoples. Typical of this editorial attitude is a pictured reference to the discovery of the North Pole appearing in a Washington paper as part of an educational series. Matt Henson who accompanied Peary, was designated as "Peary's follower," and with a reference to Commander Peary as the first "white" man to reach the pole. Lieut. Byrd's companion was not so slighted, but was accorded the credit of being mentioned by rank. Yet his trip represented no hardship such as the overland trip of Peary and Henson entailed. Another newspaper in a long summing up of the school benefactions of the past year treated the donations of some of our wealthy philanthropists to Negro schools as being unworthy of inclusion in the story. Newspapers that carried the story of the recent wreck on the Pennsylvania R.R., near Pittsburg, somehow were apparently uninformed of the heroism of the Negro porters whose prompt and courageous plunging into the wrecked cars saved many lives. What is perhaps the most widely distributed weekly journal of the country has consistently made it a policy to spell the word Negro with a little "n" even in paragraphs where other groups are mentioned with Local Minister Ma Record in Rew. James A. L. Washington, founder and pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church of Burrville, D. C., conducted the first meeting looking to the establishment of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in a tent at 50th and Grant Streets, Northeast, then known as Beverly, D.C., on Sunday afternoon May 29th, 1910. The church was formally organized and recognized on Sunday, September 3, 1911. From that time on, the work has steadily grown through the untiring efforts of its pastor, encouraged and sustained by the invisible power and a faithful few collaborors, so that today the Tabernacle stands out as one of the few churches in the Northeast whose pastor gives his full time to the work of the gospel ministry. He was sent as a delegate to the REV. JAS. A. L. WASHINGTON National Baptist Convention at St. Louis, Mo., in 1922; Los Angeles, Cal., in 1923; Nashville, Tenn., in 1924, and Baltimore, Md., in 1925.

The tendency to avoid any mention of the Negro in connection with a particular vogue, viz., the Charleston or the jazz and blues type of music when presenting stories of these things is another manifestation of the ungenerous policy of the general press. The policy seems to be to minimize any good the race may do and to place the maximum of stress upon its crime and misfortunes. One is prompted to ask where is the much vaunted sporting instinct of the Anglo-Saxon? Perhaps our own National Negro Press Association might perform a service to its people by arranging to confer with the larger organizations of like type that represent the newspapers of the country. It is just possible that such a meeting might accomplish some good. Direct contact often helps. Given a fair chance, Negro enterprise will eliminate many of the unfavorable characteristics that are harped upon by those who dislike us. Negro business, often held up in the press as the subject of comedy, might not seem so funny if the white business organizations of the land met the Negroes who have created a modicum of success against heavy odds. These odds are many. Denial of business locations is one. Denial of association with compeers in trade organizations where problems are solved for one and all; being kept out of community bodies such as the Board of Trade, Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, are some of the odds. Credit restrictions is another vital handleup. Why not be fair, at least, in the little things? What is the high school and college boy doing this summer? Is he working or is he lounging his way through a maze of so-called social activities? If he latter engages his attention to the exclusion of some real activity, it don't take a prophet to outline his future. "Making it easy for the boy" has ruined many promising careers. kes Enviable n Northeast Section Mission Board of the General Baptist Convention. The pastor is broad in the conception of his duty to the 'community', and is frequently called on to minister to the bereaved, other than those of his immediate flock. He is especially interested in the aged, and at no time has the church refused to respond to an apeal from the representative of the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home in the way of an after offering. Most interesting of all is the fact that after the close of sixteen years of service, the church is out of debt, and has a surplus of more than $350 including $250 due from the Capital View Realty Company, a very progressive development corporation giving employment to an appreciable number of the members of our race. The improvements made in the past year have included the painting of the church on the outside; installation of pews; the putting in of cathedral stained glass windows; the general repair of the plumbing fixtures, the renovation of the interior of the church, and the putting in of more brilliant lights. Several new members have been added to the church recently including five who have been received for baptism during the past sixty days, two of whom have already been immersed. These accessions were made without the customary revival effort. Rev. Washington has published an address delivered before the Baptist Ministers' Conference on October 5, 1925 on the subject: "How to Hold and Control Our Young People." This address has been pronounced a master piece having been unanimously approved by the conference and many others including Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, former president of Howard University; Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, director general of the S.S. and B.Y.P.U. Congress of the National Baptist Convention, and Dr. W. H. Jernagin the newly elected president of that congress.

URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS ON INDUSTRY FOR JUNE CITY OF ATLANTA DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN WHITE AND BLACK EMPLOYEES New York, July 17—The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: Industry on a whole was static during June and the situation among Negroes coincided with this general condition. Here and there fluctuations were recorded and a few outstanding events were reported. The incidents cited below are the principle reported deviations during the month of June. KIDDIES' CO C. LESLIE FRAZIER, DOUBLE LETTER SENT Dear Editor: Here is my sentence on each word containing double letters, w "Atlanta—This city provides the most glaring injustice reported, because of the signing of a bill by Mayor Sims granting a minimum wage of $100 per month for all "white" skilled and semi-skilled city employees. Forty colored male employees of the city have petitioned the Committee on Church Cooperation of Atlanta to intercede in their behalf for a higher wage. The men, fearing the loss of their jobs or other forms of intimidation, have used fictitious names and addresses. St. Louis—A leather goods factory employed 125 colored girls in a new department. They were provided by the Urban League of that city. Then comes also this amusing statement: "With the coming of hot weather whites doing street work are being rapidly replaced by Negroes." St. Paul—The American Radiator Company has promised to employ forty colored men in a new foundry to be opened in August. Detroit—The steady inflow of Mexican common labor is disturbing the already unsettled conditions of Detroit. Prophecies as to its effect upon Negro labor are frequently made. The Negro population is 81,000. In 1920 it was 41,000. CHOIR FEDERATION ELECTS ANNUAL OFFICERS The Washington Federation of Choirs in session at Union Wesley A. M. E. Z.

Henry Lewis testimonial in connection with the Amphison's thirty-fifth anniversary committee held an important conference last Thursday evening in the auditorium of the Cleveland community center, Miss Etta Johnson, secretary. Definite plans were discussed and decided upon by the committee including place, date, musical program, and character of the affair. Ferdinand D. Lee, W. Stephen Fuller, Mr. Chapman, Mr. Ellis, Dr. Washington, Mr. Champ and others paid high tribute to the work of J. Henry Lewis as musical director and citizen and urged upon all to bestir themselves and make the testimonial befitting the character of the man and organization.

CEDAR HAVEN WORD CONTEST Finding it almost impossible to tell of the wonderful advantages of the new, larger and finer colony on the Patuxent River, thirty miles from Washington, the management has invited the general public to get out its dictionary and make a list of words that may be spelled from the letters in the name, Cedar Haven. It is fascinating and may be profitable to make a list of words such as dear, cede, have, hard, earn, rave, no one of which contains a letter not in the name Cedar Haven, nor does any word contain a letter more often that it appears in the two words by which the property is known so widely. Awards to the amount of $25 are to be made for the best lists of correct words; a first prize of $10; a second prize of $5, both in gold, for the next best list, and ten honorable mention prizes of a dollar each for the succeeding best lists. Contestants are given until August 15th, to complete their search for the many words, and ladies, and children are specially invited to get pencil and paper and begin at once. Cedar Haven is mateness, and must be seen to be appreciated. Words are inadequate to describe it, hence the management is asking the general public to make for them, lists of words from the letters of the name and is offering prizes to the contestants. The conditions of the contest and awards may be found elsewhere in the columns of this paper. KIDDIES' CORNER Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of at least ten words, each word containing double letters, written with pencil. THE PORO AGENT RENDERS A DISTINCTIVE SERVICE It Pays to Patronize Her PORO HAIR AND TOILET PRODUCTS stand out from the crowd of competition with character strikingly their own. PORO Products are amazingly effective. That PORO satisfies is evidenced by the fact that over THREE MILLION PORO patrons were served with PORO Treatments and PORO Products by more than SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PORO AGENTS during the year just passed. Wherever you live you may use PORO and enjoy matchless satisfaction. There's a PORO AGENT nearby who will cheerfully serve you. If you don't know her name, write PORO COLLEGE 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. FREE TICKETS TO DUNBAR AND BROADWAY THEATRES NO SENTENCES TAKEN OVER THE TELEPHONE These prize tickets cannot be used by persons over 16 years old. This feature will entail a little literary gymnastics. You are to make a complete sentence of not less than ten words; each must contain at least one set of double letters. Here is a sample line: ("All's well! good laddies!" suddenly yelled Commodore Dolittle, assuming command, speedily attacking three multi-eers. The main things to bear in mind are: each sentence must contain not less than ten words; each word must contain double letters; if more than ten words are used, every word must contain double letters; do not use more than four proper names. Do not make two words of one word such as "foot ball" (two words) for "football" (one word). Hyphenated words are permissable. The Editor of the Kiddies' Corner will give one ticket cach for the best sentences made according to the requirements made here. Address "Kiddies' Corner" The tickets will be good for admission to the Dunbar Theater or the Broadway Theater. All letters must be addressed to the Editor, "Kiddies' Corner" and must be in the Tribune office, 920 U Street, Northwest, not later than 8 p.m., Wednesday. The winners of this week's contest will be published in the issue of this paper on next Friday. Winners are to come to the office for their prizes. Try Again Cut out the blank above and show it to your friends. Suggest to them that if they write a sentence as here suggested, that they may win a ticket Do not think that your sentence will be worse than others that are submitted. Try to convince yourself that your sentence will be better, or, at least, just as good as any others sent in. If you do not succeed this week try again next week. You may send in as many sentences as you wish, providing that one coupon (as above) cut out of the Tribune, accompanies them. All of your friends, relatives, and neighbors can enter this entertaining game if they are under the age of 16 years. This Week's Winners Here are the best sentences for last week: Alice May James, age 13, of 512 58th Street, Northwest: Hurrah, fellows! Additional swimmers will soon support Jollyland swimming pool. Sarah Tatum, age 10, of 316 1-2 Twenty-second Street, Northwest: "Lloyd, sell Miss Woodson's three lesson books," called Merrel Cummings. Margaret Murphy, age 15, 2318 H Street, Northwest: Tomorrow afternoon little Etta will see Bessie's pretty green dress. Honorable Mention Other good sentences were submitted by Julius Johnson. Doris Ivey Dudley, Joseph Winkfield and Imogene Reed. The sentences submitted by these four Tribunites were so good that the Editor suggests that they try again. Remember, Tribunites, that the sentences that are understood easiest are given preference in the awarding of prizes. Some sentences are very good, but they have to be read or three times before the meaning is clear. A Letter Some of the Tribunites send letters with their sentences. While it is not necessary to write a letter the Editor likes to hear from the Tribunites. This Tribune thanks the Editor for the ticket he won several weeks ago. Here is the letter: 1615 New Jersey Ave., N.W. Dear Editor: I am sending in another sentence. This is my second attempt and I hope that I will win again. I thank you for the ticket I won some time ago. JULIUS C. JOHNSON ON THE BOOK SHELF Reading For Little Fools Long Legs, Big Mouth, Burning Eyes—by Olga Kovalsky and Brenda Putnam, illustrated by Rhoda Chase and Albert Cugat, beautifully boxed, $200. Long Legs, Big Mouth and Burning Eyes, "three musketeers" of Russian fairyland come forth to meet the boys and girls of America in a book of beautiful making and many colors. In old Russia days, the children of the Czar listened with delight to the adventures of this unique trio, and one little girl, by the name of Olga Kovalsky, was so impressed by them and other dream-world characters that when she grew up she brought these charming fairy people with her to America and had Brenda Putnam, the famous sculptress, translate their stories into English, to bring pleasure to the boys and girls of her adopted land. In this book, Mme. Kovalsky tells many of these delightful tales each of which Rhoda Chase has pictured in the true style and brilliancy of Russian art. Albert Cugat furnishes the beautiful cover onlays and attractive end-papers. BAPTISTS PICNIC The Metropolitan Baptist Sunday School held its annual picnic Saturday, July 17, at the Zoological Park. Many children enjoyed the treat. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3.
