ELECTIONS BY ACCLAMATION CHARACTERIZE MASONIC CONVENTIONS FIRST IN ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION NEXT CONVENTIONS TO BE IN NEWARK AND CHICAGO Boston, Mass., Aug. 28—Nine distinct organizations of the Masonic fraternity, each an entity of the world's oldest fraternal organization, have concluded their sessions in Boston, Mass. Not for another, three years will these bodies again meet in one city. Chicago, Ill., has been selected for the next joint meeting in 1929. Meanwhile those lodges having state organizations will meet within the borders of their respective states, while the A.E.A. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and its appendant body, the Daughters of Isis, will meet in Newark, N.J., during the fourth week of August next year. Very few changes have taken place in the elected offices of any of the organizations. The entire Imperial Divan of the Shriners was re-elected by one unanimous vote east by Eugene Phillips of New York, the only living active Past Imperial Potentate of the Order. Caesar R. Blake, Jr., heads the order for the seventh term. Twenty-nine of the thirty-six state Grandmasters of Prince Hall Masonry in this country attended the conference of Grandmasters. Many were accompanied by their Grand Secretaries and Grand Lecturers. It was the largest assembly of the titular heads of symbolic Masonry that has ever occurred in this country without regard to color considerations. The reverent respect tendered to the august body as its members moved through the streets of Boston en route to conduct a memorial service, at the grave of Prince Hall, founder of Masonry among Negroes, constituted a remarkable tribute to the craft. Memorial Services The ceremonies at Copps Hill-Gen- tery where the monument erected by Masons stands over the final resting place of the soldier craftsman of Revo- lutionary days were impressive. After this visit, the body resumed its (Continued on page 5) FORMER SLAVE SUES TO REGAIN TITLE TO HOME FORMER SLAVE SUES TO REGAIN TITLE TO HOME Charging that his wife had taken advantage of his illiteracy and ignorance, Robert E. Lee, a former slave and a civil war veteran, filed suit last Monday in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to regain title to his home at No. 2017 Vermont Avenue, Northwest. In his bill of particulars, Lee states that he cannot read nor write. He bought this property on June 1, 1886, he says, from his savings from his barber shop business and his pension as a civil war veteran without the financial aid of his wife. He left the details of procuring the deed to this property to his wife, he claims, with the understanding that he and she would take title as joint owners. His wife died on May 6, 1926, he states, and it was then that he discovered that only her name appeared in the deed. His wife was younger and well educated, he says. Lee asks the count to set aside the rights of Maria B. Taylor of Boston, Mass., and Martha Monroe of Richmond, Va., who are sisters and heirs of his wife, and reform the deed so that as survivor of his wife he will inherit the property.

M. Spaulding, assistant adjutant general, a communication enclosing the report of Captain George C. Parker, Staff Inspector U.S.A., who inspected the battalion while at camp at Saunders Range, Md., on July 25. A summary of the contents of the report makes satisfactory reading. While the report is a complicated and detailed document, the high lights are most emphatically set forth. The report of company A, 372nd Regiment, the District unit, reads in part as follows: "Rating, satisfactory. "Deficiencies, NONE. "Discipline and organization—The discipline of this organization is far superior to that of the average national guard organization. "Morale and esprit—The morale and esprit of this organization is unusually high, due to the fact that officers and men take their work seriously. "Both officers and enlisted men showed a willingness to co-operate and work above the average national guard troop." The marksmanship record conforms to the general report. Thirty of the fifty-three soldiers in the unit qualified. Altogether, the city may be proud of its unit and welcome the day when expansion to a full battalion is announced.

Lautier Staff Correspondent Cleveland, O., Sept. 1—The twenty-seventh annual convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, one of the most turbulent sessions in the history of the order, adjourned late last Saturday night. The storm broke in full force on the second day of the Grand Lodge session, Wednesday, August 25, when George E. Bates, Grand Secretary, at the conclusion of his annual report, made a most scathing attack upon Harry H. Pace, who was a candidate for the office. He bitterly denounced Pace and charged him with every crime in the decalogue. It was agreed that Mr. Pace should be given an opportunity to reply. On Thursday he availed himself of it and replied in a calm and dispassionate manner, reiterating his charges of misconduct on the part of Bates in office and adding that the Grand Lodge minutes had failed to show any record of the sum of $778 collected for Grand Lodge dues in Pittsburgh, Pa. in 1924. This last charge made by Mr. Pace was the cause of a riotous scene on Friday morning when some of the delegate demanded to know what had become of this money. Grand Secretary Bates claimed that it had been properly entered on his cash book. With Pace sympathizers and Bates supporters on their feet yelling, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson disposed of this controversy by declaring that the matter should have been brought to the attention of the Grand Lodge in Richmond. Va., in 1925. Bates Wins Out The election of a Grand Secretary was reached Thursday evening. It was largely an oratorical contest with Lieut. George W. Lee of Memphis, Tenn., and Armond W. Scott of Washington, D.C., carrying off the honors. J. Dalmus Steele of New York City nominated George E. Bates. Lieut. Lee nominated Harry H. Pace. Mr. Scott seconded the nomination of Mr. Bates. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson came out openly for Pace and made a speech seconding his nomination. In the early balloting, Bates led by 5 to 1. When Mr. Pace saw that he was being beaten, he withdrew his name and moved to make the election of Bates as Grand Secretary unanimous. Carter Re-elected Treasurer The election of the Grand Treasurer followed. There were three candidates opposing Grand Treasurer Jas. T. Carter for reelection. They were James C. Martin of Chicago, Ill.; C. Tiffany Tolliver of Roanoke, Va., and John White of Richmond, Va. Carter led the field by 2 to 1, but before the balloting was finished each of the opposing candidates had his name withdrawn and the election of the Grand Treasurer was made unanimous. Other officers who were elected are Dr. S. H. George, Paducah, Ky., Grand Esteemed Leading Knight; Dr. Roland R. Johnson, Brooklyn, N.Y., Grand Esteemed Lecturing Knight; Leonard Foreman, Akron, O., Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight; A. Clayton Cannal, Jr., Augusta, Ga., Grand Auditor; French Gallison, Hartford, Conn., Grand Tyler; Charles E. A. Starr, Denver, Co., Grand Inner Guard, and William Turner, Wheeling, W. Va., Grand Esquire. At the session on Saturday, Colonel John Marshall of Chicago and Wayman Wilkerson of Memphis were elected Grand Trustee.

OF VIRGINIA INVESTIGATING LYNCHING Richmond, Va., Sept. 2—Yesterday, Governor Byrd of Virginia directed Attorney General Saunders to conduct an investigation of the lynching of Raymond Byrd, a Negro who was taken from the jail in Wytheville, Va. The Attorney General has designated Leon M. Brazille, an assistant, to proceed to Wytheville and handle the matter. The Governor has named a former United States District Attorney, Joseph H. Chitwood, as special prosecutor to pursue the cases that will grow out of the grand jury investigation. Much criticism has been directed at the local authorities for the dilatory manner in which they have handled the matter. The local judge and state's attorney have both been called to Richmond from Wythe county to make explanations to the Governor concerning the failure of county officials to protect the prisoner who was taken from them and lynched two weeks ago. ST. LOUIS FINANCIER VISITING MOTHER HERE Dr. Charles E. Herriot and wife of St. Louis, Mo., arrived in the city Tuesday for a visit with the mother of the doctor at her home, 124 Randolph Place.

The new structure is one of the finest banking buildings owned by Negroes in America. The dedication of the structure prompted widespread publicity. Prominent people from all over the country were guests of the concern for the occasion. MEMORIAL TO HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON MEMORIAL TO HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON The Henry Lincoln Johnson Memorial.

Father V. D. Warren, a white Catholic priest in charge of St. Joseph's parish mission and school (colored) in Norfolk, who has been presenting a brass band of school pupils in concerts in the towns adjacent to Norfolk, was kidnapped by masked and hooded men while a concert was in progress last Wednesday evening at Princess Anne, a little town in Princess Anne County, Virginia, about 35 miles south of Norfolk. The priest was removed from an auto in which he sat to observe the boys playing and was taken thirty miles away by about thirty hooded and robed figures, alleged to be Klu Klusmens. He was warned against fulfilling a rumored report that he proposed establishing a school for Negroes in the county. While he was released uninjured, many of the group threatened the priest and denounced him as a "Nigger lover." The band was hastened back to Norfolk, and Negro residents in the community barricaded their homes expecting trouble. Citizens of the county, headed by their ministers of every denomination, have demanded an investigation of the outrage by the governor. FINAL RALLY TO HELP REVEREND JERNAGIN WIN The friends of Rev. W. A. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, who is Washington's only entrant in the Mme. C. J. Walker "Trip Around the World Contest" have started a last chance rush to assure him of winning one of the prizes. The big contest will close September 15th. At present, Rev. Jernagin is sixth or seventh in the race. In order to win, he must move up to one of the first four positions. An appeal has been sent out to all of Washington to rally behind Rev. Jernagin. Last year Rev. M. J. Key, of this city, won first prize. If the nation's capital is to again be represented with a winner, Rev. Jernagin must be given all the help possible between now and the 15th of September. A movement was initiated at Mt. Carmel Church last week to get a hundred friends of Rev. Jernagin to purchase Mme. Walker products amounting to ten dollars, and turn the votes over to him. Such a move would practically assure him of a winning position. Already a large number have responded to this appeal. Only two more weeks however, remain so an urgent call has been issued. Rev. Jernagin will leave the city Saturday for Fort Worth, Texas, to attend the National Baptist Convention. During his absence from the city, his family and Mr. George A. Mack will have charge of his campaign. HOUSTONS RETURN TO CITY Prof. G.

Today, thyroidectomy, especially in those not suffering with Grave's syndrome, is a comparatively riskless procedure. Moreover, the resulting scar is almost invisible, and eloquent evidence of perfected surgery. Basal metabolic studies, formerly regarded as difficult and mysterious, are now the routine, and almost as commonly employed as the clinical thermometer. Thus, not only is diagnosis of thyroid toxicity made with precision, but the results of treatment are evaluated, and even prognosis can be discussed with intelligence by the aid of this laboratory device. In the field of prevention, the use of iodine seems likewise to be a boon to humanity, and whereas formerly a large percentage of school children seemed doomed to acquire goitre, the systematic administration of minute doses of iodine appears to succeed in reducing this percentage. The optimist has much to be thankful for in advances made in the control of thyroid conditions, a progress which is only comparable to that in treating diabetes mellitus. These truths, however, cannot be stated unqualifiedly. As a result of prolonged study of this problem, with clinical observations of over nine thousand goitre cases, I am forced to the conclusion that despite the perfection of thyroidectomy and the lowering of is mortality rate, thfs measure is often abused. Despite the use of iodine in the therapy of goitre, this measure, too, is largely abused, a fact to which I have called attention for some years, and to which others are now likewise calling attention. The perfection of goitre therapy can only be reached when thyroidectomy and iodine cease to be abused. Because of these truths and my experience concerning goitres I know that this ailment can easily be avoided. You will always find me willing to give you free advice on this or any other ailment you might have, at my office—Whitelaw Hotel, 13th and T Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C.

A proposition giving authority for the establishment of two lodges in cities having 50,000 or more colored people was adopted. A similar proposition providing that in cities where there are two or more lodges it shall be lawful to institute one temple of Daughter Elks for each lodge, was also enacted. Salaries Increased Salaries of Grand Lodge officers were increased. The Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Secretary were increased to $4,000 a year each. Other salaries increased were those of the Grand Treasurer, the Grand Legal Adviser, the Grand Chaplain, the trustees and the commissioner of education. Schools Given Money Several educational institutions were given money. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was given $1,000 for his work in Africa. Bishop W. J, Walls of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was given $1,000 for Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.C. Other institutions to receive donations were the National Training School for Girls, Washington, D.C.; the Cardinal Gibbons Institute at Ridge, Md., and a school in Mississippi. The Grand Lodge officers made their reports last Wednesday and Thursday. A committee headed by Perry W. Howard, Grand Legal Adviser, communicated with Governor A. V. Donahaye and saw Common Pleas Judge Samuel H. Gilbert and succeeded in getting a reprieve for Emmanuel Ross, 18-year-old boy, who was to have been electrocuted last Friday night. Governor Donahaye granted a stay of execution of two weeks. Ross was convicted of the murder of Isadore Steeck here on November 5, last, and the people are seeking to save his life because of his youth. The establishment of a foreign bureau to be headed by C. C. Vall, Grand Organizer, was authorized. This bureau will have charge of the translation of the Elks' works into the foreign languages. : Porters Union Indorsed. A resolution favoring the organization of a Fullman porters' union was also adopted. The Grand ball was held last Wednesday evening at the public auditorium. Music was furnished by the M-Tee Monarch orchestra of New York City. The grand march at 12:30 was led by the Grand Exalted Ruler and Mrs. Wilson. Fully twelve thousand and persons were in attendance. Cleveland Pleased with Elks Cleveland Pleased with Elks Both the city of Cleveland and the Elks are well pleased with the convention. Cleveland entertained the Grand Lodge wonderfully. The city cooperated with the general committee on arrangements and everything possible was done for the entertainment and comfort of the delegates and visitors. The Elks on the other hand, local inhabitants say, made a fine impression upon Cleveland. A noticeable thing was the good order prevailing at all times. The city was so well pleased with having the convention here that the Elks were invited by the city manager to remember Cleveland the next time when selecting a meeting place. The Grand Lodge voted to award Thomas W. Fleming and J. W. Turk On Thursday, August 26, Miss Sarah E.

AUTO BATTERIES RECHARGED TUNGAYO BATTERY STATION POTOMAG7 1562 707 R SL NW DINING CAR COOKS GET INCREASE IN WAGES Boston, mass., Sept. 1—Effective today, dining car cooks of the Boston and Albany Railroad get substantial wage increases by virtue of a superceding contract just consummated by the railroad company and the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees. Waiters are not included in the increased rates of pay, but, with the cooks, will be benefited from greatly improved working conditions. The new contract results from fourteen months of persistent and tactful work by the Brotherhood representatives. The Railroad Labor Board was abolished about the time conditions were most favorable for complete organization victory. The useless Watson-Parker Law was invoked by the railway company but the organization demurred and insisted upon further negotiations, as the Watson-Parker Law absolutely is of no service for others than the "big four" transportation brotherhoods. The results reflect the wisdom of the course followed; for the management had denied every employee request, and through it one hundred per cent improvement in conditions of employment compensation of cooks and waiters accrues. J. H. Marcy, superintendent of dining service, represented the railway and Rienzi B. Lemus, grand president of the Brotherhood, signed for the cooks-waiters, members of local No. 2 of this city. Fine credit for the unusual achievement is due the local adjustment committee, of which T. O. Gee is chairman. CHICAGO PROMOTER VISITING IN THE EAST CHICAGO PROMOTER VISITING IN THE EAST Chicago, Ill., Aug. 26—Mr. and Mrs. Cary B.

Scott and at Freedmen's Hospital, visiting Mae Mae Irvin. At Philadelphia they will be the guests of Mrs. Annie M. Malone, who is the founder and directing genius of Poro College, St. Louis, Mo. They will be accompanied by Cary B., Jr. The trip east is primarily in the interest of the now famous Metropolitan Theatre, this city. "TIGER" FLOWERS TO BE FEATURED IN FILM By W. R. Arnold, Publicity Director, T.O.B.A. The winning of the world's middle weight championship from Harry Greb in Madison Square Garden, New York, has placed "Tiger" Flowers on the pinnacle of fistleucca. The chance to see the famed fighter in action is denied to many who reside in com- munities where boxing is not given public approval, or where it would be injudicious for the "Tiger" to make an appearance. Then, too, it would be impossible for one man to make so many visits as would be required to have all of us see him. Milton B. Starr, president of the T.O.B.A. circuit, and the owner of the Bijou Theatre, Nashville, has arranged to meet this need. He has contracted with the Georgia Deacon to feature a motion picture film now in process of production. The film which will be fittingly named "The Fighting Deacon," will be a five reeler with a substantial story of vivid interest running through it. There will be plenty of action without any vicious propaganda of any sort. Bookings will be made through the T.O.B.A. offices. Release dates for the different sections of the country will be announced soon. Mme.

Lincoln 9002 PULLMAN PORTERS BROTHERHOOD INDORSED New York, August 27—The first anniversary of the organization of the Pullman Porters Union was celebrated with much gaiety and splendor at a monster rally held at St. Luke's Auditorium in Negro Harlem last night. The spacious hall, seating approximately 2000 people, was packed to capacity with porters and maids. Many were unable to gain admittance. Telegrams and letters of felicitation were received from labor organizations and prominent individuals all over the country and from Pullman porters en route to almost every point in the nation. On the platform were officers of the union and the following persons who made short addresses of congratulations: Prof. LeRoy Bowman, of Columbia University; Dr. Norman Thomas, director; League for Industrial Democracy; Mr. William Kelly, editor, Amstrom News; Congressman F. H. LaGuardia; Mr. Benjamin Stolberg, labor journalist; McAllister Coleman, labor journalist; Mr. Fred R. Moore, editor, New York Age; Mrs. Elise McDougald, assistant principal, Public School No. 89. Fraternities Give Support During the session wired information was received from the national convention of the Shriners in Boston to the effect that a resolution had been adopted by that body approving the porters union, and offering practical assistance. The resolution offered had been unanimously adopted, except for the solitary vote of Frank Brown of Cincinnati, an Employees-Representation-Plan worker in the Pullman service who is also a Shriner. The national convention of the Elks also passed resolutions of approval and support at their Cleveland convention. Randolph Given Present Toward the close of the program, Frank R. Crosswaith presented A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the union, with a beautifully monogramed and expensive traveling bag as "a token of high appreciation, esteem, and deep gratitude for his efforts in behalf of their husbands and their race in general." The bag was a gift from the Ladies Auxiliary which is made up of the wives of Pullman porters. After the program the vast audience was treated to ice cream, punch and cake which were served by the ladies of the Auxiliary and was followed by dancing.

The document had been brought under guard of the Boston police department from a vault in the Boston Safety Deposit Company for the occasion. The officers elected by this organization for the next three years were P. G. M. Crittenden E. Clark of St. Louis, president; Egbert W. Brown of vice-president; John L. Hubert of Willard W. Allen of Baltimore, Md., 2nd vice-president; John L. Hubert of Wilmington, Del., secretary, and S. C. Johnson of Alken, S.C., treasurer. The Deacons The entire group of Grandmasters present, were made members of the Deacons' Club of Prince Hall Masons, the body adjourning one of its sessions for a short period for that purpose. The national secretary of the Deacons, J. A. Jackson, ranking member present, was given an associate membership in the Grandmasters' conference, a most unusual distinction for one not of Grand Lodge rank. Grandmaster Joseph Sullivan of New York supervised the opening of the Deacons' session. The Deacons conducted ritualistic ceremonies for nineteen candidates, and authorized the executive committee to re-arrange the ritual, manual and reorganize the official staff. Albert R. Lee became Grandmaster of the Grand Encampment of the Knights Templars, the constitution being amended to substitute that title for the former one of president; and the name of the body being changed from conference to encampment. Few changes occurred in the official roster as a result of the election. Womens' Auxiliary The Order of Cyrene, the women's organization associated with the Knights Templars elected Mrs. Mary A. Parker of Washington, D.C., as Interstate Royal Grand Commandress. This body too, will meet next in Chicago in 1929. The Daughters of Isis re-lected their officers. They will meet in Newark next year. The convention attracted more than ten thousand Masons to the city. The Governor of the state and the mayor of Boston reviewed the parades of the two major organizations. Newspapers were most generous in the volume of space and praise tendered to the conventions.

RETURNED HOME BALTIMORE BLACK SOX SPLIT WITH CUBANS Chicago, Ill., Sept. 1—Andrew "Rube" Foster, famous baseball magnate and star pitcher of other days, had a violent outbreak at his home, 4131 Michigan Avenue, early last Wednesday, August 25. An appeal to quiet him was made to the Wabash Avenue-police station, and the boss of the American Giants was taken to a psychopathic hospital for observation and treatment. He has been returned home, according to reliable reports. "Rube" Foster was one of the greatest stars that baseball has ever produced. He originally came from Texas, a "two-gun" man and gained fame by pitching the Leland Giants to victory over the Chicago White Sox. During his career, he pitched for the Philadelphia Giants, the Cuban ex-Giants and the Leland Giants. A split, occurred in the last Club and he became the manager of the American Giants. He and the late C. I. KID WDODY KNOCKS, OUT TWO IN THREE ROUNDS By Fred R. Byrd "Kid" Woody, the pride of the Government Printing Office, added two more knockout victories to his credit last Thursday night, when he stopped "Kid" Moca of Baltimore in round one of their scheduled four-round fight at the opening show of the Beaver Dam Country Club at Landover, Md. The crowd of Woody's followers from the Government Printing Office, who had made the long trip from Washington to see their favorite in action, were loud in their acclaim of the "Kids" victory and asked Mr. Miller for a more suitable opponent for their favorite. Mr. Miller, very obligingly, threw in Eddie Jester, a fast and clever 175-pounder with an emphasis on the pound. Jester was scheduled to fight Young Jack Johnson from Fort Myer next Tuesday at Keniworth for the chance to meet "Kid" Woody; but his defeat last night by "Kid" Woody has changed the schedule since Woody gave him the gas with a right-hand upper cut in round two. It is now probable that Woody will meet that hard-slugging soldier from Fort Myer next Tuesday in place of Jester. If he is successful in whipping him, the lovers of the boxing game who patronize such contests, and even those who do not attend such bouts but who read of the sport in the several newspapers should certainly send letters to the different promoters undr whom Woody fights asking that they give him a better chance than four rounders, because of his knock-out record: 27 fights, 24 K.O.'s, 2 lost and 1 decision. Woody is not only a very scientific boxer, but he is also a gentleman, churchman, clean living and a credit to his race and profession. His friends in the world's greatest printing plant believe Heinie Miller will give him his chance, providing there is sufficient demand for his services. So kindly send in your card or letters to the newspapers in Woody's behalf. UNION LEAGUE STANDING W. L. Pet. LeDroit Tigers .15 2 .884 Black Sox .19 3 .864 Myrtle A.

As a manager he ran his ball club, instructing his players both on the offense and defense. At crucial stages in games, his pitchers got their orders from him. Until 1915 the American Giants were the greatest baseball club of its kind in the United States. Under his management they have played in all parts of the United States and Cuba. For years they played in Palm Beach, Fla., in the winter, and represented the Royal Poinciana Hotel in the inter-hotel winter series. He produced such stars as Petway, Whitworth, Grant, Pete Hill, Francis, Bobby Williams, Malarcher, Lloyd, Wickware, Tom Williams, Duncan, Torrienti and others too numerous to mention. BLAGK SOX DIVIDE DOUBLE-HEADER The Washington Black Sox divided a double-header last Sunday with the Myrtle A. C., winning the first game 3 to 2 and losing the nightcap, 4 to 1. The first game was a pitcher's battle between Lyman of the Black Sox and C. Barbour of the Myrtle A. C. Barbour held the league leaders to six hits, two of which were doubles by Grant, Black Sox left-fielder. The Myrtle A. C. got but seven hits off Lyman, but lost the game when a ninth inning rally fell one run short. One big fifth-inning was enough for the Myrtle A. C. to tuck away the nightcap. They scored their four runs in this frame. Six Black Sox errors contributed to their victory.

The Tiger Mentor will have as his assistants, T. C. Myers, former star Lincoln quarterback, fresh from a year at Columbia University where he has just taken a degree. Mr. Myers will resume his former position as assistant head coach and will have charge of the backfield. John H.

It would seem that the coach will have sufficient material on hand to build a team of the highest calibre. In the squad will be found such regulars as Captain-elect Kitchen, former captains Duncan and Tadlock, I. Robinson, Paul Smith, Ivory Smith, Ellis, Jefferson, Steward, Joyner, Stevenson, Robert and Thomas Camp, Harris, Wooten, Bailey, Townes, Wiley, Champion, Adams and C. Robinson. There will be a wealth of reserve material on hand who will be strong contenders for berths on Abbott's 1926 gridiron model.

That was shown last Sunday afternoon when the game between the LeDroit Tigers and the Oriental Tigers ended in a row. The umbrella is said to have been the cause when he engaged a player in a fight. The game is under protest and President Hayes Jones of the Union League is expected to forfeit it to one or the other of the two clubs. There is a probabilty that he will order it thrown out and played over. THE LITTLE BOOK BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO THE BOOK THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1926 SEVEN It is quite a coincidence that the Masonic fraternity of the country through representatives of the half million Negro Masons should be in Boston.paying tribute to Crispus Attucks last week as they celebrated the memory of Prince Hall, originator of their craft; and that a thousand Negro singers should be singing a song commemorating his services to the nation at the Philadelphia Sesquientennial at the same time. The song number in the Sesqui musical program entitled "Crispus Attucks," was composed by a trio of Negroes. F. Grant Gilmore, a Philadelphia author of several books, wrote the lyrics. Ted Wilson wrote the music, and W. Franklin Hoxter, conductor of the big Negro chorus at the Sesquientennial, arranged the orchestration. More than fifty Washington people participated in the first presentation of the number. Shew folks, and concert artists will do well to get a line on this new number. LOEW GETTING INTO NEGRO THEATRES The Marcus Loew interests have loomed upon the horizon of Negro theatricals in a wav that promises a great change in the booking and routing of colored shows. It is reported that Loew interests have assumed the bookings of the Central and the Globe Theatres in Cleveland, and that in a few weeks announcements will be made of other theatres now booked through other circuits going into Loew offices for their attractions. FOUR SHOWS UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT G. F. Barton and "Doc" Gardner, owners of the "Shufflin' Sam from Alabam" show, are making progress in the Negro show world. Their "Alabam" show with Nay Brothers, plays the Howard Theatre, Washington, next week, and Mr. Barton fs in ahead of his show making this city his headquarters for eastern advance work. While calling at the Tribune office, he let it be known that he is handling four shows this year. There are two of the "Alabam" shows, a "Bamboula Land" company on the Pacific coast, and the Georgia Minstrels of which "Slim" Austin is a member. The latter opens in Janesville, Wis., this week. If all of the shows are like the Nay Brothers' attraction, which broke records here last winter, the future of this management is assured. The same show plays here next week. On September 27, the show goes into white theatres for the winter. BOOKINGS THEATRE OWNERS BOOKING ASSOCIATION WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 6 Midcity Theatre, Washington, D.C.—Darktown Bazaar Co.

Dudley's Office Route as follows:— HERE AND THERE Frank Kirk, the musical novelty artist with the unique inventions, is with the John Vogel minstrel show on the Columbia Circuit. He is the only colored performer in the east. He conducted rehearsals and staged the show. Homes Tutt of the "Smarter Set" team of brothers whose show is rehearsing in New York, is in Harlem hospital in that city. Dr. Louis B. Wright operated upon him for gall stones. The patient is expected out in a few weeks. Alexander White, senior Deacon of Pittsburgh who went to Boston as Ement Commander of the Knights Templars of the "smoky city" was taken home from the convention suffering with ptomaine poisoning. Doctors feared for his life as he left Boston; but the mother who had accompanied him on the trip insisted that he be taken home before an operation was undertaken. Sidney Rink, animal trainer whose mule act was a big hit with "Shufflin" Sam from Alham" is now playing fair dates in the northwestern states. Hampton and Hampton have joined the Blue Moon show. Mr. Hampton with McClain, of Loveless and McClain, will carry the comedy of the attraction. Miss Barr was born in Louisville, Ky. She is a graduate of the high school of that city and spent two years as information secretary of the Y.W.C.A. in Harlem. Admiration for her talent disclosed in "Y" concerts prompted Donald Heywood, the composer, to prevail upon her to take up a professional career. She began her stage career as a member of the "Three Harmony Maids" in Whitney's and Tutt's "Smarter Set." Last season she was the soubrette of Irvin Miller's "Brown Skin Models" and in this, her third season, she becomes a full-fledged star in "Blue Moon," a musical comedy written and produced for Mr. Miller by her discoverer Donald Heywood. The show opens at the Howard Theatre on Monday, September 6. The cast includes Princess and Prince Mysteria; McLane and Loveless; Hampton and Hampton; Cecil Rivers and Flo Brown. The chorus is made up of Washington boys and girls and the dress rehearsal indicates that the show will have a cute little group of talented youngsters. BIG ORCHESTRA IN CHICAGO PICTURE HOUSE Chicago, Ill., Aug. 26—Sammy Stewart and his merry singing syncopating orchestra has been given a year's contract at the now famous Metropolitan Theatre, 47th and Grand Boulevard. Three new men will be added making sixteen members of the Metropolitan Syncopators known from coast to coast. The fall opening will be September 18 and the "boys" will present a "Syncopation Week" and will play "The Evolution of Dixie," originally introduced by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Prominent citizens throughout the country have heard these "merry makers" and were loud in their praise of the high-class selections played. Among them have been Mrs. Jennie C. Lee, charge of the music, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. They play nightly selections from various orchestras, popular ballads, song hits and jazz numbers. Every man is a finished musician and four are good singers and render programs. The orchestra is such a drawing card that crowds stand out on the streets waiting to be admitted. They produce a welcome atmosphere here that other theatres seem to lack. All the attaches are polite and courteous. Cary B. Lewis, a former newspaper man, was made the assistant manager in February.

It was, some meeting, one that will long be remembered. The high lights c² the occasion are herewith reported. A detailed report will appear later in all of the professional and race papers. A Donation Joe Simms laid off his vaudeville engagement for the week and pulled a midnight ramble for the benefit of the Boston convention committee that yielded a net of over a hundred dollars, every dollar of which was donated with no deductions. Brown and DeMonte, Brown and Grice, Simms and Walter Crumbly, with Alexis, a white Keith-time artist, made up the bill. Rain prevented the Deacons' Parade; and fearing that the show might not go over, the tender of a whole unit headed by Butterbeans and Susie from the Columbia Circuit show of Jimmie Cooper, and a complete bill from Boston Keith office with Harris and Holly as features, were both declined to avoid the unnecessary inconvenience to those people. It would have been too much show; but we acknowledge that it was a fine spirit. Joe Simms and his bunch put on a hot show with an afterpiece that was a riot, though faked from beginning to end without rehearsal. Grandmasters Join Get this. Every grandmaster and every grand secretary of Prince Hall Masonry present—twenty-six grandmasters—went away with a certificate of membership in the Deacons. A session of the grandmasters' conference was suspended to permit the necessary cremonies of the Deacons for them. This action was supplemented by calling the national secretary of the Deacons into a later session and bestowing upon him the privilege of associate membership in the grandmasters' conference, a hitherto unknown courtesy to one not a grand officer. The Deacons have therefore become a completely absorbed part of the Masonic structure of the country. Be governed accordingly, 'if you don't want the reprisals of Crittenden W. Clark of St. Louis who has been elected president of the grandmasters for the next three years. Dues have been raised to a dollar per year; and new cards will issue between October first and the New Year. A revised manual will be issued with the cards. THERE'S SHOWMANSHIP AT THE HOWARD THIS WEEK THERE'S SHOWMANSHIP AT THE HOWARD THIS WEEK "Shufflin' Sam from Alabam," the show that Gardner and Barton have piloted through a most remarkably successful season, and the show that established a new high house record last autumn at the Howard, is the attraction at the local comedy house this week. The show is in tabloid form as demanded by most of the theatres playing shows and pictures on a continuous performance plan. The show is purest hocum serene, meaning that it is just entertainment with all of the old tricks for making people forget their troubles. After all, entertainment is what one goes to a theatre to get. Few are how it is accomplished. Nay brothers and their talented associates know the trick; and they are showmen. A break at the electric light power house or somewhere else put the Howard theatre and much of the neighborhood in darkness for a half hour. But that did not effect these showmen. The house was packed and a line stretched from the ticket window well down the street awaiting the chance to get in for the second show. The possibility of a stampeade of excited natrons with disastrous results was imminent. Hurl Nay met the crisis. Sammy Graham, the new manager of the house, himself a former trouper, went onto the stage and made a brief reassuring speech to the patrons. Nay followed him with some comedy lines and introduced the show quartette. Meanwhile candles were lighted along the footlights and through the house. The show proceeded for about a half hour in semi darkness, but the laughs were as genuine. The situation was taken advantage of by the performers and actually turned to their favor. After a half hour, matters became normal, the lights reappeared and Johnnie Woods, ventriloquist topped off a fine program and led into a finale. There is but little doubt that the show will equal its former record here, summer weather notwithstanding.

It hax been necessary that an underground conduit be laid for that distance, and an excavation made undér the sidewalk for the in- stallation of a transformer for the conversion of a high tension, thres Lhase current into commercial use.

As a matter of fact, tho new ma- chinery has been in operation for two weeks, but with becoming modesty the Tribune staff has refrained from heralding the news until every »djust- ment had been-made, every feature of the installation completed, and the whole structure synchronized with the established plant organization. In this connection an apology is due our readers for the past two is: sues; but we were coufident that our readers would pardon the few minor blemishes in appearance that were bound to be made while our organiza- tion mastered the intricacies of the new equipment. ‘That has now been completed. The experimental stages have been passed. The shop grew under'the direction af Mr. Norman Murray is today doing what many publishers in our group hiaye declared that no Nezrocs could be found capable of doing. ‘The Trib- une is one of the three papers of our group operating a rotary perfeet- ing press—which calls for circular stereotype plates—for which the lino- typing and proofreading, ad setting and make-up, stereotyping and press work, is being done entirely by colored nen. We are proud of that declaration, and we invite our readers to come in and see for themselves how well these men accomplish their tasks, with what a sense of pride they approach each and every one of the mechanical steps toward the material production of a newspaper. > ‘ ‘The now press with the associated equipment enables the Tribune to print and deliver to the distributors 18,000 papers per hour from the time the malie-up is completed. Hencoforth a paper of eight, ten, twelve, sixteen or twenty pages may be. determined upon at any tinic from the conzepticn of each issue right up to the time of going onto,the press—all printed and folded at one operation, without any “staffing” or assembling of the vari- ous sections, Running at ‘a’ minimum speed en’ producing the normal eight-page Tri bune, 144 finished and folded news papers may’ be printed each minute o operation. Size and speed may bot! be increased as occasion demands. Five years ago, the Tribune came into the newspaper field bringing with it the avowed intention to provide the city of Washington particularly, and the vicinity in general, a newspaper with a code of ethics that would in. spite confidence and respect, and with a determination to grow into an earls maturity of ripe journalism. The ‘Tribune tas’ been making steady advances toward that ideal Personnel, spirit and editorial quali. ties have from time to time beer added to the sound business policy with which the paper started.

They are but the foun datjon materials upon which is yet t be erected the Tribune of its found ers’ ideals. Because a newspaper an its public must work together to creat at 920 U Street will convince the most skeptical. that while there, he is in the most complete commercial: print- ing “institution owned by Negroes in the country, and the largest one com- pletely operated by members of the rave in: its every department that is gperated on a strictly commercial ba- sis, Realising this, the Tribune may be pardoned for fecling a bit chesty. THE ELKS TAKE PROGRESSIVE STEP. : Judging from a basis of construe. | tive help to the Negro raze in general the recent convention of Elks held in Cleveland, with its. educational pro- gram, wins first place. Apparently tiring of the stereotyped. wind-jam- ming and poirits of order, tho Elks with J. Finley Wilson as Grand: Ex- alted Ruler, initiated a policy of as- sisting in the education of the youth of the race. ¢ & Last year was the first yeah of the mew program, and the order raised ‘$17,000 for education. At the grand lodge convention this year, the order ‘agredd to start a campaign to raise $60,000 during the coming year. The grand lodge also voted to donate $1000 to Livingstone CoRege at Salis- bury, N.C, $1000 to the school of Bishop Sampson A. Brooks at Monro- via, Liberia, $500 to the National Training School for Girls of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is presi- dent, Washington, D.C., and a like a- mount to two other schools: This is the largest evidence of the new awakening spirit of the Negro to support his own education, } By tak- ing the lead, the Elks deserve the unanimous praise and congratulations of the race. The order has alse pointed the way for other organiza- tions. Indeed: this was a magnani- mous act and the officers of the order, as well as its entire membership are entitled to all the credit due them. Let other great conventions fall in fine. THE MASONS IN ROSTON | The following editorial. from the Boston (daily) Telegram of August 25th was prompted by the Masonic gatherings held in that city, last week. OUR CONVENTION GUESTS Boston has as her guests the dele- gates to the conventions of colored Masons. Among the men who have gathered here are many who are lead- crs of their people, tireless workers for their race, Boston should be cordial to these conventions for, in genera- tions now dead, Borton was a beacon ‘which illuminated the road to freedom for the opprossed fathers of so many of these delegates, | And the city’s guests are among friends, for the very atmosphere oi Boston is fragrant with the memories ‘of the heroic leaders of another day ‘who led the crusade which triumphed ‘when the Emancipation Proclamation was written. | Surely none who is just\or fair or intelligent can disnute the intelligence the ability and the courage. of thé American colored race. Consider the eonvention being-held here. There ‘you find men who have risen in their professions, men who have attained marked success in commerce and trade and industry. Yet, turn back the [pages of history 60 years and you find &n age when men boldly declared tha emancipation was foolhardy becaust a then sabject race could not appre ciate freedom, : Often in the North, political blath erers attempt to snatch the credit for the acco.aplishment. of the Negro. I any race ever lifted itself by its ow effort, it is the race of the America Negro. He was given citizenship, i ix true, but social ostracism and thinly ‘veiled scorn was attached to it Ostracism does not bother, him now for he has built his own society, an who can boast even a thinly veile scorn toward a people who in 60 year have proved themselves masters o the culture other races spent unnum bered_ centuries developing ? It is to the credit of the colore Masons now in conventoin that Bosto | proudly concedes ‘that there never ha ibeen a gathering more appreciativ of the little courtesies shown by th [hnost;" none betraying a better an Ifiner_ knowledge of the responsibili ties which fall upon guesty. While much could be said, litt! needs to be said, concerning’ the above Nevertheless, no person of our grou can read these noble and generous es pressions without a feeling of grate ful appreciation. | it is gratifying, too, that this larg [body of persons of our group have s |conducted themselves as not to ad |to the difficulties of our situation i |the Northern cities, ‘These difficultie have, in many instances, been accent uated by reason of the recent. influ |of large numbers of hitherto sur | Pressed people who are nattzally. in clined to unduly exploit their nos | freedom. ea nee ; i) Parent Saeed a eyo ” THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1926. —___THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1¢ Se TON, TRIBUNE: PRINT BEC USMBED 20028: SCRE MEIEESISERRRSESERERSSSRESETIESEISER EDIE SEITE eS LETS EEE MUSIC FORUM 3 ™CO By Wellington A: Adams % KIDDIES RI SEs re * s C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor RIZET DIED A “FAILURE” ei en ae ahi hi nn ee ee ae ne eae Bizet, the composer. of “Carmen, Probably tne most successful of all classic operas so-far as the seope o it popularity is concerned, died at 37 ‘and it is said he was broken-hearted over the apparent failure of the opets on its first presentation. . . Reading between the lines, one-may surmise a lack of strength of charac. ter; that he was faint-hearted as well as broken-hearted, The lack of cop. fidence possibly. overwhelmed _ this composer in his sreatest hour of tri- umph, though veiled. with skepticism and fierce criticism in his day. It was his hour of triumph, we repeat,” be- cause “Carmen” was destined to. live on dows. through the ages and that's ‘sufficient’ evidence of "its intrinsic value from any given viewpoint. In this. we of the present day, may “finda lesson well worth learning. It is found in just this one word, Conf dence. How many young: composers, musicians and- students have failed because of the lack of confidence. Con- fidence, first above all, in Self, then in doing the task at ‘hand, ‘matters not how difficult or trivial. % -_ Students may learn sonéthing from this, of inealeulable value in the pur- suit of a musical education at this, the beginning ‘of another music study year under private teachers or in miu- sic schools, If one loves music, don't hesitate to commertte the study... But whatever one dogs, keep diligently at it with confidence until suetess is at- tained. So many commence the study lacking confidence, and so very few attain the heights, that it isn’t ‘at: al] surprising why failure stares them in the face, Certainly one will have some migh- ty obstacles to. surmount. All have them at one time or another, but that shouldn't deter one. Every master composer had his critic but they’ built far better than they knew, over and above all. Can't we gain some inspiration from euch giants of music as, Bach,-who rescued the art of notation and musi- cal form from the choas of the dark ages, deyeloped it, and made it a uni- versal medium of expressing human feelings; Beethoven, who rose above the rigid fundamentalism of the form- er? Chopin, Schubert and Lisat started kicking over the traces of or- thodoxy, and finally came the great radical, Wagner. He, was the snsroh- ist of tonal form. ‘He. sounded the first notes of a battle between intel- lectuality and arrogant. ignorance. Grieg, the singer of simple folk tales, whose “Peer Gynt” suite repre- sents possibly, the truest expression of certain forms of human émotion. Come Tschaikowsky, telling the tales of Russia and the grandeur of its Tartar civilization. Charpentier, in his modern “Impressions of Italy,” the Omega of the revolutionary alphabet, of which Wagner wrote the Alpha. These end other musical souls should inspire confidence, from the tone pic- inres they have painted on the wall of time. CHOIR RULES During this month, September, the choirs generally resume their work. We hope they have enjoyed their va- cations and also hope for better and more spiritual music during the’ com- ing season of song. At this time, however, most directors experience ‘poor attendance on the part of mem: bers, therefore, we thought it would be a good thing to republish these ‘choir rules of a California church, which may serve a good purpose, as follows “Bach attendance at each service Sunday scores ce . “Rehearsals not scored unless fo tardiness deduction. “Tardiness at rehearsals or services deducts one-half point from total score of each member. - “Absence from rehearsals bars jem bers from services the following Sum day. “Absences for two complete Sun- days without meritorious excuses, wil be considered as resignation. “Resignation will be accepted as of date tendered. “Rehearsals to begin promptly at 7:45’and continue till 9:15.” Now, if one wants to start a littl trouble in.a choir, just try onee t enforee strictly, rules similar to thos above and it'll come. However, choit rules should be enforced regardless 0 consequences, if a really efficient choi is desired. Drones and poor Voice: should be left in the rear and let alon for a good purpose, that, of presery ling punetuality and quality respec tively. ‘The succeés of all choirs. de pends fundamentally upon ‘these tw: requisites, believe it or not: GRAND.
