According to the story given the police department, Mrs. Brooks left her husband down stairs, went to his study and called Mrs. Anna Smith of 1418 8th St. over the phone and told her that she was going to shoot herself. Realizing the danger of a moment's loss, Mrs. Smith frantically MRS. ANNA C. BROOKS appealed to Mrs. Brooks not to do such a rash thing, assuring her that she would come right over to her home to comfort her. However, without anging the receiver up, Mrs. Brooks fired the fatal shot. Hearing the pistol's fire echo through the house, Rev. Brooks rushed next door to the home of J. T. Bundy, and returning together they went up stairs only to find his wife in a pool of blood with the revolver near. Dr. Simeon I. Carson was immediately summoned and he pronounced her dead. The police department was notified and Coroner J. Ramsey Nevitt, after an investigation, issued a certificate of death by suicide. Mrs. Brooks left no note or word that would indicate the cause of her act.

Shortly after midnight, November 25, "Big Sharkey" was shot in the head by "Dike" Moses. "Big Sharkey" was removed to Freedmen's Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival by Dr. H. D. Harper. The shooting occurred in an apartment on the second floor of 516 Florida Avenue, Northwest, where several men were playing dice. When the police arrived at the scene, they found "Big Sharkey" lying with his face downward and a 38 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver clutched in his left hand. "Dike" Moses told the officers that he had shot "Big Sharkey" in self defense. According to the story told by the eye-witnesses, "Big Sharkey" called a four-dollar bet in a dice game, lost and refused to pay it. "Dike" Moses who was running the game, nailed the bet and ordered "Big Sharkey" out of the apartment. "Big Sharkey" got as far out as the hallway, charmed his mind, drew his gun and started to return. ("Continued on page 2.) (Continued on page 2) FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VI.

Upon receipt of a letter from her husband, from whom she had not been divorced at the time of her second marriage, States Attorney Edget, who was handling the prosecution, went into court and not proclaimed the case. He told Judge Eugene O'Dunne that he had learned that the indictment of Miss Wells on the bigamy charge had not been brought in good faith, but that the prosecution had been instituted at the instance of her brothers to prevent her appointment as administrator in a will case in the District of Columbia. Elmer Snowden wrote the States Attorney's office declaring that the brothers had influenced him to make the charge, although he had no interest in her marriage. Gertie Wells is alleged to have married James S. Perry in this city without obtaining a divorce from Snowden. Her second marriage is said to have taken place October 26, 1925. Shortly afterwards, she was awarded a final decree in the courts of Arlington County, Va. In a statement, Mr. Edget declared that he was convinced that the charge was a frame-up against Miss Wells and that he refused to be a party to any such trickery. For this reason he asked Judge O'Dunne to not prosecue the case. a dice may it. giving the ordered apart- ear out mind, return. Miss Wells married Snowden while he was a banjo player in an orchestra of which she was the leader. After the birth of a child the two artists separated, and divorce proceedings were later instituted by Miss Wells. She married Perry before she had been given a final decree, and the bigamy charge was brought. --- Washington Tribune REV. J.

Madden, Photo b day afternoon when it was interred. A coroner's jury Saturday named William Wesley Everhart, 17, janitor's quarters, 407 Third Street, Northwest, as the "hit and run" driver who killed Joanne Terry, 8-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Cerry, 3217 Eleventh Street, Northwest, and Charles D. Fowler, white, 1205 Kenyon Street, Northwest, as the owner of the death car. They were both ordered held for the action of the grand jury. The coroner's jury put responsibility for the death of Joanne Terry on Everhart. Fowler was ordered as an accessory after the fact. Headquarters Detective Sergeant Paul Jones arrested Everhart. Acting upon information furnished him by Thomas Mitchell, 2005 Eleventh Street, Northwest, he went to Fowler and sought information about the driver of his truck. Fowler told the detective several conflicting stories and finally promised to produce Everhart for questioning later in the day. Detective Sergeant Jones continued his search and located Everhart in Louisiana Avenue. At the time, Fowler was talking with the boy. Mitchell, who was with Detective Sergeant Jones positively identified Everhart as the driver of the truck. Everhart entered a stout denail, but told several conflicting stories about his whereabouts at the time the truck struck the child. After the tragedy had occurred, Louis Valencia, 15, 3212 Sherman Avenue, Northwest; Wilbur Dishman, 14, 3216 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, and Thomas Mitchell began a search for the death car. About 11 o'clock Thanksgiving night, they located it in Kenyon Street, near Eleventh, Northwest. It is a rebuilt Yellow Cab truck.

He got a description of the driver. There was another person in the car at the time, whose identity is still unknown, Mitchell testified at the inquest. Louis Valencia was the last person, to whom little Joanne spoke before she started across the street. She told him that Howard had won the football game, from which she and her parents had just returned. The tragedy occurred about 5:35 p. m. Thanksgiving day. Joanne had been across the street from her home to call her little brother, Elmer, 7 years old, and the two children were returning home for dinner. As she started across Kenyon Street, she was struck and run ever. The driver did not stop. Joanne was put in the passing automobile of John Battley, 1231 Irving Street, Northwest, and rushed to the Children's Hospital.

Francis, a dentist, 1230 U Street, Northwest, is entitled to receive the reward of $1,000 offered, for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Dr. Robert W. Brown, Justice Bailey decided in equity court No. 2 last Tuesday. Justice Bailey reached this decision on a bill of interleader filed by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of which Dr. Brown was the president, and his two daughters, Mrs N. Pearl Curtis and Mrs. Robbie Brown Lofton. Dr. Brown was murdered at his residence on November 27, 1920. The two daughters of Dr. Brown and the National Benefit Life Insurance Company on December 1, 1920, offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. In August, 1921, James A. Frye was arrested and charged with the crime. In July, 1922, he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Both Dr. Francis and W. H. Robinson claimed the reward. r.

Taylor, as the "youngest, yet the oldest insurance company in Washing- ton," entertained its agency force and office employees and a number of honor guests at a banquet in the dining hall of the Whitelaw Hotel Tuesday evening, November 30. The banquet, which was sponsored and entirely financed by the Board of Directors—no money of the company being used—is to be an annual affair. Before the dinner was served the master of ceremonies, Mr. Taylor, introduced several speakers, among whom were: Rev. W. B.

BROOKS COMMITS SUICIDE that her throat had been bothering her, this was such a minor ailment that it did not prevent her from taking part in the Thanksgiving activities. On Thanksgiving eve she sang at the wedding of Miss Gladys A. Wilkinson. On the day of her death she appeared about as usual. The body was prepared for burial by Thos. Frazier Co., 623 T Street. Hundreds of people viewed the remains in their parlors. Funeral services were held from Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, Eleventh and R Streets, Friday, Dec. 3 at 1 p. m. The eulogy was delivered by Rev. J Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational: Church, which is the church that President and Mrs. Coolidge attends. Immediately after the services the body was shipped in company with the family to Detroit, Mich., for burial Saturday. Anna C. Brooks, daughter of Rev. Arthur R. and Lottie Cook Chandler, was born in Hartford, Conn. Her father is a Baptist minister. The family later moved to Detroit, Mich., where she graduated from the high school and city college. Possessing a fine voice, her parents gave her the best musical education Detroit afforded. She early won fame as a singer. She married R. W. Brooks, December 22, 1921, who was then pastoring in Detroit. Mrs. Brooks accompanied her husband to Washington when he accepted the call to Lincoln Temple in December, 1924, succeeding Rev. Emory D. Smith. Besides her husband, she is survived by her father and mother, and two brothers, all of Detroit. Rev. R. W. Brooks will not appear in his pulpit according to officers of the church for at least a month. The shock of the tradgedy is weighing very heavily on him and his members are desirous of giving him as much time as possible to recoup his nerves and vitality. Rev. J. Noble Pierce will assist in filling the pulpit during his absence. "DIKE" MOSE RELEASED ON BOND (Continued from page 1) Mrs. Edna Maxwell, who lives in an apartment across the hall, told the coroner's jury that she heard the dead man cursing vilely and threatening to kill "Dike" Moses. As "Big Sharkey" turned to reenter the apartment, somebody yelled to "Dike" Moses not to turn his back on that man, "He's got a gun." At that moment, "Dike" Moses wheel1 and fired. "Big Sharkey" fell across the doorway without pulling the trigger of his revolver. The eye-witnesses to the shooting are Charles Butler, 2222 Eleventh Street Northwest; Joseph Coleman, 1712 Seaton Street, Northwest; Theodore Whitley, 617 Q Street, Northwest, and William Frazier, 430 Oakdale Street, Northwest. They had been playing "craps." Attorney Bertrand Emerson represented "Dike" Moses at the coroner's inquest. "Dike" Moses Crawford is well known in local sporting circles. BOARD REFUSES TO RE- INSTATE MRS. HOWARD BOARD REFUSES TO RE- INSTATE MRS. HOWARD last, and the other by the resignation of Mrs. Clarissa Scott Delany. There have been three appointments made of teachers of English since her eligibility for reinstatement, Mrs. Howard contends. They are the permanent appointments of Joseph Hill in the Dunbar High School and of Mrs. G. L. Wilkins in the Miner Normal School. The probationary appointment of Miss M. Elizabeth West in the Shaw Junior High School has also been made since she became eligible for reinstatement, Mrs. Howard says. Mrs. Howard sets out in her statement that teachers are being employed in the senior high schools to teach subjects other than the ones for which they hold teachers' certificates. At the Armstrong Technical High School, Mrs. Howard says, Miss Charlotte West, a teacher of history, is teaching one class in English: James B. Hunter, a teacher of history, is teaching two classes in English, and Miss Otelia Cromwell, the head of the English Department, is teaching one class in English. At the Dunbar High School Miss Ruth Weatherless, a teacher of menship, is teaching two classes in English. In his report to the Board of Education, Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson denied that Mrs. Howard was entitled to be appointed to the vacancy in the Shaw Junior High School to which Miss West was appointed. He says that since the passage of the teachers' salary act of June 4, 1924, eligibility for appointment and restatement to junior high school positions has been distinct from eligibility for appointment and restatement to senior high school positions. He cites the case of Miss Mabel M. Jackson, who obtained a writ of mandamus in the District Supreme Court compelling the Board of Education to declare a position vacant in the Armstrong Technical High School and appoint her in the place of a teacher who lacked the necessary qualifications under this act to teach domestic art in the senior high schools. The vacancy caused by the retirement of Miss Grinke, says Mr. Wilkinson, was filled by an appointment effective practically nine months before Mrs. Howard became eligible for reinstatement. Miss Grimke at the time of her retirement was on leave of absence. There was no vacancy to which Mrs. Howard might have been appointed upon the resignation of Mrs. Clarissa Scott-Delany September 30, because the Board of Education abolished this position upon the resignation of Mrs. Scott-Delany, Mr. Wilkinson says. Mrs. Scott-Delany taught English in the Dunbar High School. The appointments of Joseph Hill in the Dunbar High School and of Mrs. G. L. Wilkinson in the Miner Normal School were made practically a year before Mrs. Howard became eligible for reinstatement, Mr. Wilkinson declares. With regard to teachers teaching other subjects than the ones they qualified to teach, Mr. Wilkinson says that it has been the practice in the senior high schools to require a teacher to carry at least 50 per cent of her assignments in the subjects for which she holds a teacher's certificate, but that it has been necessary to assign one or more teachers work in more than one subject in order to meet as nearly as possible the pupil hour requirements. Acting upon the report of Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, the Board of Education went on record as favoring the policy of leaving the internal organization of the school system for the management of the administrative officers. The Board of Education approved the recommendation of Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson of Robert N. Mattingly to be principal of the new Francis Junior High School, which will be opened February 1, next. Mr. Mattingly is a graduate of Amherst College with the degree of bachelor of arts. He is doing work at Columbia University for the degree of master of arts in education from the Teachers College. Mr. Mattingly has been head of the department of mathematics in division 10 to 13 since 1906 and has uniformly been given the highest rating by his supervisory officers. He served as principal of the Dunbar summer school from 1922 to 1924. He has made special preparation for a junior high school principalship by pursuing courses on junior high school organization and teaching at Teachers' College, Columbia University, and at Chicago University.

Don't Jet another minute go by before you give attention to this condition. Go at once to the dru; store and get a Johnson's Red Cross Plaster and put it on the chest. It warms, protects, and drives away the aches, pains and soreness almost immediately. And more important the remedial pro- perties which the plaster holds a- gainst the chest so that its medica- ion cannot escape in the air is penetrating into the affected parts, soothing and helping in breaking up congestion through stimula circulation. Don’t experiment or take chances with untried treatments when you have these chest pains; ask the druggist to give you the old reli- able big Johnson’s Red Cross Kid- ney Plaster with the red flannel heck.’ At drug étores everywhere.

While the Howard-Lincoln foot- beil game was the magnet that irew thousands of friends and alumni of the two schools here, the Howard alunmi took advan- tage of the: opportunity to meet the new president ‘and to assure him of their solid support. “Thanksgiving evening, a special meeting of the alumpi’ was held in Rankin Memorial Chapel which was largely attended and was en- thusiastic in its spirit. Dr. Mor- decai W. Johnson, president of the University, addressed the gather- ing. § - Atty. A. S. Pinkett of the ‘local chapter of the alumni, was selected to make the address for the alumni, His remarks were taken to cm- body the new policy of the alum- ni toward the University. In outlining the views of th: alumni Mr. Pinkett said: “For more tkan twenty years alumni have been beating back 2 persistent sentiment to lower. the educational standards of Howard University. ‘The ebb and flow of the tide. of battle finds us at the close of a bloodless revolution. It is my pleasant duty tonight to rect a young man who has been caught up in this revolution and stiddenly called to the most stra- tegic, and at the same time, one of the most difficult positions of trust now open to men of our ra- cial group. ‘ His call ‘to: this" position, ushers in, we hope. a: new day, not .only for Howard University, but for the whole gvoup of which’ we form a part, His success will be influenced in a large measure hy the relation of the alumni.of Howard University to his plans. And that relation will, in turn, be influenced by his appraisal of the place of alumni iv the, life and activities of alma mater. ‘This young man comes to his new and difficult tasks _ exceptionally well fitted to grapple with them, and already’ has evinced a genius for leadership which inspires con- fidence. Grave doubts’are entertained by some lest we, on,the yerythres- hold of victors, be°robbed of her rewards. Can’ any” nian, — these doubters ask, take the helm at Howard University, steer the old ship true to her traditional course and survive? Every alumnus. an- swers, by that’ course only can he survive. i “The vision of ‘this new leader ‘surveys the heights and sounds the depths, and fixes no limitation for aspiring youth short of his fullest capacity. He has suggested that Howard University could he maintained, if ‘the test came, on dollars con- tributed by the mothers and fathers of our own group. An. ambitious Suggestion, to say the least. ‘The trail-blazers in the strug- gles of Howard University share this faith, and would never com- Promise on a program to: lower her standards. To make available the plice the ‘new leader now commands has re- quired courage and faith. and the ‘sacrifice of blood, money and tears. ‘Some ‘who had ‘this faith, made ‘these sacrifices and paid this price, share with us tonight_these festivities. Some like the ‘great Hebrew leader, -Moses, were per- mitted to-view, but not to enter the Land of Promise. Fellow alumni, preservers of the traditions of this institution, as you greet our leader, will you’ not understand that you are sentinels on guard for him and alma mater? |, Remember this, the hand which forced upon the willing lips of Soc- ates the hemlock, was not the hand of the seeker after trath. “Socrates. must die, not because of lack of vision or failure to ,.re- sent the truth,-but because he ‘had vision and dared present the truth. ‘Though cyeles of years have Passed since Socrates, men are yet stiffling the truth and selling their birthright for a mess of potage. See to it: my college brothers and sisters, that neither this man nor our alma mater is betrayed in- to the hands of the enemy; see to it that there is no departure from the ideals of the founders. With your help. he can’ stand, without it, he may. John Ri Mott his dafined a. loader as ‘One’ who” knows" the’ way, keeps ahead, and. persuades! others. to follow" si The gentleman whom we have now at the head of Howard meets these specifications in every. par- ticular, He knows the way, keeps ahewl, and persuades athers’ fo fol- ow?

C. last Sunday before a crowd of some 1200, after having outplayed the Black and White machine throughout the game. With 2 minutes left to play the church boys through "Nappy" Henderson practically gave victory away on a silver platter, and Stonewall won 6-0. Neither team had scored. The timers announced that there were 2(?) more minutes to play. After 9 of those minutes had been consumed, Henderson, Ebenezer center, moved back in kicker's position with instruction to hurl a long forward pass. The Stonewall cohort came charging in and when the Ebenezan momentarily fumbled, J. Brown, Southeast center, picked up the oval and ran 49 yards for the deciding touchdown. In the resulting stampede the writer was smallwood up, and his discretion told him that safety from injury could only be found outside of the celebrating melee. Reports reached him, however, to the extent that the touchdown was sufficient for the Stonewall team and no attempt for the extra point was made. Line-up: Stonewall(6) Ebenezer(0) Hawkins . . . L.E.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 25.—The Crimson hurricane racing with its fury met the Morris Brown whirlwind in a mighty clash today at Spiller's Field before eight thousand wild and enthusiastic fans and after sixty minutes of fierce fighting neither had gained an advantage, so the great conflict ended in a 6-0 tie. Both mentors rushed in fresh recruits but neither would give way. The Southeastern Classic left the names of several emblazoned upon the pages of history. Fathers will tell their sons how Ray, Stanley, Sheppard smashed into the whirlwind line only to be brought down by Smith or Clark. Sheppard also made great efforts to run back punts but could never make any long gains. McPherson kicked beautifully but this great running back was watched too closely and was smothered. For Chief Aiken, the tie was a defeat. So sure was he of a crushing victory that he started his second team against the Whirlwind aggregation. For Whirlwind Johnson the tie was sweet victory. Everybody expected him to lose. After the game Coach Johnson said "My luck still holds. I haven't lost or played in a losing game in all my football career on Thanksgiving Day. The referee, Rivers of Talladega, and umpire, Kendall of Talladega, had to appeal to police for protection after the game. They had an off day to A.U.'s advantage, acc ording to some of the spectators. Morris Brown; Atlanta University Nicks, (c) .L.E. .A.

The educated toe of Howard Archer turned the trick. The lone Morehouse tally came in the second quarter when Archer chunked 63 yards to Dezon who raced the remaining 22 yards across the goal line for a touchdown. It was here that Archer's toe defeated Fisk. The pass, one of the longest ever completed in the conference traveled 46 yards from the line of scrimmage, the tosser standing 17 yards behind when it was uncoiled. Fisk was not to be discouraged, however, and Brewer recovered a fumble by Robinson, Morehouse fullback on the 40 yard line of the latter. A 20 yard pass, Wood to Matthews was completed, Ghee then received a 11-yard pass from Woods and pedalled off the remaining 9 yards for a touchdown. Ghee missed the extra point from placement. Fisk threatened seriously in the first quarter when she gained possession of the ball on the fifty yard line, and carried it to the Morehouse 8-inch line. Here Ghee on the fourth down attempted to hurdle the strong Morehouse wall, but was met in midair by backhack Robinson, and Fisk's hopes for a touchdown were blighted. Morehouse also threatened in this quarter, when Quarterback Moseley, marched his pony backfield, composed of Blackburn, Robinson, and Saunders, 65 yards through the Fisk line, only to lose when Robinson fumbled a pass from center, and again in the third quarter, when Archer made a beautiful drop-kick from the 42-yard line which missed the uprights only a few inches. For Fisk, the ground gaining of Yost, and Woods was a feature, while the splendid running and accurate passing of Ghee drew repeated cheers from the stands. Archer and Dezon, ends playing their last game under the Maroon and White were clearly the highlights on the Morehouse team. Archer's toe, and his dexterious passing were death-dealing to Fisk, while the pass grabbing of Dezon, and his repeated breaks through the Fisk interference kept him in the limelight as one of the best ends that ever donned cleats.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1926 CARLISLE SEASON OPENS DECEMBER 20 The Carlisle Field Club will open its 1926-27 basketball season against the Omega Psi Phi Delta Big "5" at the Lincoln Connadeon on December 20. The Blue and White Squad, with the acquisition of Simms from Miner Normal and Henderson of the 1925 Armstrong team, has been considerably strengthened. With Mike Jones in good shape and the converting of Ed, Davis into a guard, the defensive game promises to be better than that of 1925-26. Captain Bradick is also back in the fold. A schedule is being devised by Matt Taylor whereby a number of well-known teams will be brought here. The Indians' management has arranged for games with the Athenians of Baltimore, the Chicagoans, the Buccaneers and Vandals of Atlantic City, and the Philadelphia Scholastics, here. Besides these home affairs the 1024-25 champs will go on a tour this month through Atlantic City, Orange, N. J., Philadelphia and Germantown. In February a western trip consists of games in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Dayton. All home games will be played at the Lincoln Colonnade, where the seating capacity has been enlarged and a better lighting system is to be installed. In quoting Mr. Taylor than, "So far as the Carlislets are concerned, Washington is in for a big basketball year," we may see that he is very much pleased with his team and its prospects. TUSKEGEE DEFEATS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY TUSKEEGEE, Ala. Nov. 25.—The Tuskegee Tigers made their final bow to the home fans for this season in the Athletic Bowl, Thanksgiving Day by defeating the Southern University, Louisiana, team 23 to 0. The second team started for the Institute and Tuskegee scored its first touchdown after an exchange of pnts, and a series of line punches by Steward. The second quarter opened with cheers from the grandstand as the first team threw off their blankets, and gave up the benches to their juniors. The unevenness which was expected from the visitors because of the change did not materialize, and they played with the same skill evidenced in the first quarter. Tuskegee passes were intercepted and blocked, line plunges were held for no gains, and end runs were cut off by the plucky visitors. A spectacular field goal, against the wind, from the 40-ward line by Stevens brought the score to nine points, and the crowd to its feet. The second half opened with Stevenson's 35-yard kick-off which was returned by Captain Edmond for 49 yards. Most of this period the ball was held by Tuskegee in the visitor's territory, but without any significant gains; Shanklin, however crossed for the second touchdown. Stevenson added the extra point by kick from placement. Beginning with the last quarter, the first team was gradually replaced by second and third string men who opened holes for Shanklin's line plunges resulting in a touchdown by Nash. Harris added the final point by a place kick. The outstanding players for Southern University were: Washington, center; A. Harrison, guard; and J. Harrison, end. While the work of Steward, Smith, Stevenson, Shanklin, Kitchen and Tadlock for Tuskegee was noteworthy. The lineup: PETERSBURG DEFEATS ST. PAUL PETERSBURG, Va., Nov. 25—Dodging, finting, sprinting, the nifty little quarterback Epps, fought his way to victory over St. Paul aided by the full efforts of all of his teammates notably, Coley, Shelton, Payne and Tynes. The game was one of those gala events with nearly 5000 attending to wilt-Institute, and if not the greatest, little quarterback in the history of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, and if not the greatest as great as any in the C. I. A. A. On an attempted punt, Cotman, the big Peters left tackle, broke through and blocked it. Lacey, Petersburg end recovering. After two tries Epps went over for a touchdown. The try for goal failed. The play was wholly in St. Paul's territory for the rest of the game and the last Petersburg touchdown came in the last quarter. Epps shot a pass from the 50- yard line to Payne who caught it on the St. Paul 14-yard line where he was downed. Another pass. Epps to Royal netted 10 yards and after two tries, Epps carried the ball over for a touchdown. The line-up: Va. Normal St. Paul Lacey L.E. Goods Cotman L.T. Pierce(c) Coley L.G.

"SLIM" HENDERSON MAKES STATEMENT Henderson Says He Is Not to Blame for Ebenezer Defeat (Much controversy has arisen over the action of "Slim" Henderson, star Armstrong center of 1924-25, playing for Ebenezer in the city championship last Sunday against the Stonewall A.C. Members of his team, as well as a number of fans have taken different sides as to whether or not Henderson was directly responsible for the Stonewall touchdown.) Questioning Henderson the Tribune Sports Editor got the following statement: "I am no alibi artist, but I have been charged with the loss of Ebenezer's football games with the Stonewalls for each of the last two seasons. Concerning the game last Sunday in which I was apparently responsible for the Stonewall victory, I wish to state that throughout the game when I was called on to kick, the pass from center was bad. Each time I was forced to move out of position to catch it and then hurry my punt. On this final play I had no chance to recover the ball, and charges to the contrary are unjust." —Photo by Scurlock ALL-HIGH FOOT-BALL SELECTIONS ALL-HIGH FOOT-BALL SELECTIONS # By Sam Lacy Fowler (D) .....left end Simon (D) .....left tackle Lonesome (A) .....left guard Hawkins (D) .....center Coates (D) .....right guard Ford (A) .....right tackle Mavritte (A) .....right end Beason (A) .....quarterback Hill (D) .....halfback Dabney (A) .....halfback Sewell (D) .....fullback Selections and Reasons The above selection of the All-High football team for Washington has been made through the writers' belief that these fellows deserve mention on this mythical eleven. Ends: Fowler should be recognized without the slightest doubt as the outstanding high school end of the season. Not only is he the leading wingman of the two local high school teams, but he is way above those of any of the Conference eleven. Mavritte, at right end is somewhat weaker than his running mate due to his lack of experience, but is next in line in the rating of local scholastic ends Tackles: Simon is the Red and Black representative in the tackle position though were this selection including the entire conference, it is hardly likely that he would receive mention. Ford, on the other hand, 13 like Fowler, in that he is without a superior in his position. Captaining a team considered the under-dog in the Scholastic Championship his presence in the line-up on the 22nd of November was continually felt. No All-Conference eleven could be complete without Ford in a tackle. Guards: Lonesome, without his attitude of self satisfaction, could be a much better guard. However, his work against Dunbark makes him a candidate. Coates is good. His offensive as well as his defensive ability gives him recognition as the other guard. Centers: The high schools were weak at this position. Not either of the two, Dunbar nor Armstrong were strong here, however, due to his superior defensive play, Hawkins gets the call, as I look at it. Quarterback: Here I expect all sort of criticism, as I have placed a halfback at the helm of my team. Beason is undoubtedly the speediest back in either school, and his broken-field running against Dunbar leads me to choose him. I am confident that he has no peer in running back punts. Some may say he is weak at tackling, but he made some fairly good ones on the 22nd. Halfbacks: Dabney played a stellar game through the season, and besides being a speedy ball carrier, he is also an exceptional passer. Hill, though naturally weak offensively, is a good passer and a sure tackle. With him and Dabney, likewise a defensive man of no mean ability, backing up the flanks any team would be a tower of strength. Fullback: Sewell, is best though he will be far better with more experience. Honorable Mention: Beckwith, with the exception of his bone against Armstrong would have undoubtedly been chosen. Janifer, had he played longer against Dunbar had a good chance, as did Johnson. FOOTBALL PICTURES AT HOWARD The Howard Theater had as an added attraction all this week the moving pictures of the Howard-Hincoln football game. This was the second theater to show the pictures, they being shown in Baltimore a day after the game. The scenes of the game were, in most instances, very good as well as were those of the crowds. While many important persons were left out, especially Dr. Johnson, president of Howard University, the picture as a whole, was by far better than any previous efforts. The filming of the picture was under the direction of Dr. Charles S. Johnson formerly of this city. C, I, A, A, MOGULS HOLD 16TH ANNUAL MEETING PETERSBURG, Va.—The C.I.A.A., will hold the sixteenth annual meeting this year at A. and T. College, Greensborough, N.C., on December 1 and 11. The members of the association are Hampton, Union, Virginia N., and I. Institute, Virginia Seminary and College of Lynchburg, St. Paul, Shaw University, A. and T College and Johnson C. Smith University. The practice of arranging the football schedule and appointing the officials for all games, which was so satisfactory this year, will be continued and also introduced in other sports, such as basketball and baseball. A report will be made by a special committee appointed to select the all-star team and also to select the man considered the most valuable to his team for 1926. The committee is composed of J. Wiley Johnson, sporting editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, Garland Mackey, L. U. Gibson, Dr. F. S. Coppage and R. E. Clement. The special trophy to be awarded to the player considered to be most valuable to his team is given by Dr. James P. Darden of Petersburg, Virginia. This trophy is to become the personal property of the player receiving it and is given with the hope of developing better team play among college and university teams. There will also be interesting reports and addresses by the various representatives. President T. L. Puryear will preside at the meeting and will also give a review of athletes in Negro colleges for 1926. WILBERFORCE AFTER EIGHT YEARS CONQUERS W. VA. YELLOW JACKETS Ritehie Kicks Field Goal as on Last Thanksgiving, But This Year His Dependable Foot Brings Winning Points, West Virginia Given By P. Bernard Young, Jr. NEIL PARK, Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 25.—Through the murky haze of a November afternoon and upon a field on which torential rains beat a gloomy tatto for three and a half periods of play, Wilberforce after eight years of ties and defeats, pounced upon the Yellow-jackets of the mountains of West Virginia for a 3 to 2 victory. Wilberforce's margin of triumph came suddenly, and it was as dramatic as it was sudden, because for the first scant minutes of the struggle West Virginia held the whip hand, but only for a few brief moments. The Ohio phalanx had the oval: a few thrusts at the line and then Wilberforce executed its only forward pass of the game so precisely and so beautifully that on the next play it was lining up under what, on a clean day, would have been the shadow of the West Virginians' goal posts. Ritchie had gathered in Turner's punt on Force's 20-yard mark and streaked back to the 50-yard line, from where he plunged on the first play for four yards. Following a one yard gain which Campbell harvested, putting the ball on West Virginia's 45-yard line, Ritchie shot a pass to halfback Moore, who had just substituted for Reid. Moore gathered the cowhide in over his shoulder, then crouched slightly and sped for the open. Two Yellowjackets waited to sting him into sub mission before he could reach the goal. Ten yards Moore raced; and then ten more than these. From somewhere a green-jerseyed teammate shot in front of Moore—it was Mendenhall, a fine halfback, who once played at Otterbein College, converted, into a fine end. One of the Yellowjackets sprawled and had its sting taken out of it as this Bulldog hurled himself forward as interference, but the other halted the brilliant run of Moore, but not until he had galloped to the 13-yard line. In the collegiate vernacular, it was some pass and some run. Today, Wilberforce, under the fine tutelage of Coach Graves, was perched on the peak of its season's form; co-ordination was evident and where earlier in the fall interference had been lacking, it was now functioning with the effectiveness of a championship organization. On the first play Campbell ripped into the line for four precious yards. Here Referee Bergman of Notre Dame detected the backfield in motion and spotted the Ohlans 5 yards as a penalty. On a long end run Harding got three yards back, but West Virginia, under Coach Hamblin, was taught to fight hardest when the going was the roughest. Captain and tackle Hodges nailed Ritchie on the following play for a 6-yard loss, the bell now on the 21-yard line. Ritchie signaled for the ball and drop-kicked it over from the thirty-yard line. It was directly over the center of the crossbar and had plenty of height. The first quarter of today's game was not over and yet Wilberforce was leading by three points, but the West Virginians could not be convinced that Johnson, who soon entered the fray, would not again be the minute man to bring victory. However, Wilberforce never threw another pass in this game. How Safety Was Made Turner punted 47 yards to Wilberforce's twenty but the ball bounded over Ritchie's head and rolled to the twelve-yard line. As the third quarter ended, West Virginia, in the strength of despair. in getting the date that you want for your Fall or Winter Dance at the BOOK YOUR DATE NOW WHILE THE BEST DATES ARE OPEN TO PICK FROM.

Here the third period ended. As the fourth quarter began, Williams dropped back (he had substituted earlier for Harding) as if to try a kick from behind his goal. There were two possibilities: a kick or give the other team a safety and try to maintain the one point lead. In the situation that existed the odds were in favor of an unsuccessful punt. Should Wilberforce intentionally give West Virginia a safety, it would be Wilberforce's ball on its 3-yard line and with four downs to gain, ten yards or get off a successful punt. Brainy football would take the safe route of intentional safety. This being the case, Coach Graves rushed Harding in for Williams with instruction to do anything but kick or pass, which meant in other words to make the intentional safety. Harding received the ball, advanced a few yards and allowed himself to be downed and thus West Virginia made its two points. And more than likely this play kept the Yellowjackets from scoring. Coach Hamblin, standing near us on the sideline, said that as far as his team was concerned an attempted punt would be the best thing in the world. With the ball now on the thirty- yard line, Harding punted to the 50, and some mud covered Yellow- jacket returned it 15 yards. In quick succession came several chances for West Virginia to score, but they could not or would not, so they did not. The line-up: Wilberforce 3 West Virginia 2 Redden L.E. Turner Calloway L.T.

HAMPTON DEFEATS UNION HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va Nov, 25. The Big Blue and White Machine of Hampton Institute marched victoriously over the Union University Pawing Panthers before a throng of 5000 on Armstrong Field for a score of 10-0, which makes them champions of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athlet ic Association, possessors of the Frank Young Trophy and possessors of the Slaughter Trophy. The game was full of thrills and excitement from start to finish. Both teams showed wonderful spirit and fitness. Hampton, however, had a little edge on the Red and Steel Eleven by virtue of the fact that the backfield jabbed Union for 13 first downs. The game was played by Hampton without a single substitution while Union made 21 changes. The Red and Steel backheld was swift as lightning, but Hampton's forward wall seemed to sift through and break up plays at will. There were two dangerous fumbles made by Byrd of Hampton in receiving Breaux's punts that put Hampton in a dangerous position. Each time Breaux failed to kick for a field goal. The first score of the battle came in the second quarter when Hampton was held for downs on the 2-yard line and Union was forced to kick after receiving the ball. Breaux was to kick the ball out from behind the goal posts, but in kicking he stopped outside the end zone, thus counting a safety for Hampton. Union's punt was short enough to allow Baker to drop-kick from the 40-yard line. The Union Pawing Panthers, however, were not without stars, for Breaux and Shields in the back-field were constant menaces. Breaux's punting was good, and Shields was always a good ground gainer. Capt. Tobin and Ruffin on the line were bulwarks of strength. ROAMERS STILL WINNING, PLAY EBENEZER SUNDAY ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 29.—The Roamer A.C., of this city defeated the Fort Myer eleven on last Sunday, 32-0. The soldiers were no match for the Alexandrians. The fast Ebenezer football team will journey to Alexandria Sunday, December 5 to play the undefeated Roamer A. C. of that town. The Ebenezev team is reputed by the best sport critics to be the best independent team in the District of Columbia, being composed for the most part of ex-high school stars. The Stonewall A. C. of this city was scheduled to meet; the Roamers Sunday, but the game was called off by the Stonewall club, assigning as their reason the fact that a number of their men were injured in the Stonewall-Ebenezer game of last Sunday. Be this as it may, it seems t) the Alexandrians that the Stonewall club is deliberately dodging them.

Davis, charging him with first degree murder in connection with the death of Mrs. Desdemona Barnett Dudley, September 21, last. Attorney Bertrand Emerson, Jr., representing Davis, had attacked the old indictment, returned October 29, on the ground that the grand jury which brought it was illegally constituted. The trial of Davis was slated to begin Wednesday before Justice William Hitz, but Attorney Emerson withdrew Davis' plea of not guilty and entered a plea in abatement. Attorney Emerson told the court that Davis should not be compelled to stand trial on the first indictment because one of the grand jurors, John Hantzmon, had pleaded guilty August 4, 1921, to a charge of illegal possession of intoxicating liquors in violation of the prohibition law. Attorney Emerson contends that Davis should not be compelled to stand trial on the indictment for the reason that the grand jury which returned it was illegally constituted. He alleges that one of the grand jurors, John Hantzmon, pleaded guilty August 4, 1921, to a charge of illegal possession of intoxicating liquors in violation of the National Prohibition Act and was sentenced to pay a fine of $50. Attorney Emerson argued that the commission of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral This re-indictment of Davis raises the way for an early trial. Davis shot Mrs. Dudley five times and then attempted to end his life by shooting himself through the right temple, completely destroying his right eye.

Liberal Progressive Independent It is really lamentable the way the question of race finds its way into every conceivable situation and relation of life. The superstition of blood has succeeded the superstition of witchcraft. In colonial times they hanged witches in Massachusetts, and burned them at other times and in other places. In these days people suspected of no crime, charged with no crime, are isolated, segregated and put in reservations and ghettoes merely because of their race—their blood. In the Hall-Mills' murder trial in New Jersey, the "pig-woman" testified that one of the persons whom she saw at the scene of the murder was a colored man and on identification she pointed out Willie Stevens, a brother of Mrs. Hall as the person so described. Now the Stevenses were born at Aiker, South Carolina, and it is a fact testified to by the laws and the decisions of the courts of South Carolina that there was much mixing of the white and black races in that state, so much in fact that it was found necessary statutorily to define the term Negro, and the term white. During the constitutional convention held to disfranchise the Negro, it was proposed to deal with the perplexing question as to what is a white, and what a Negro, in a section of the Constitution, but Benjamin Tillman, fire eater and hater of Negroes that he was, demurred on the ground that hundreds of families in the state would be blasted, and the matter was dropped. It is a blot on our boasted Christian civilization that men and women should be estimated by blood standards rather than by intellectual or moral standards. There is no question but that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the United States passing for white people who are blood kin of the African race. But what of it? Why inquire into it? Why become fanatical and intolerant about it? A man, or a woman should be judged by his, or her conduct and achievement, and not by any accident of blood. It makes no difference at all whether the Stevenses have, or have not African blood in their veins. They should be judged by the other and more enduring standards. The human race, after all, is a long way down hill, and has a long grade to make before it reaches the top. REVIEWING REVIEWERS The discussion that commenced three months ago on the cabaret phase of Negro life in Harlem, entitled "Nigger Heaven" is apparently entering upon its final phase. The book has attracted a degree of attention far in excess of its importance whether viewed as a purely literary production. as a study of a slice of life which does not constitute a topic of conversation in cultivated circles, or as a sociological study. Now that the reviewers have had their filing at the book, an Huber Harrison of New York City, has taken it upon himself to review the reviewers of whom he himself f. HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va. Noy. 26.-Discussing economic conditions in Africa, Miss Mabel Carney of Teachers College, Columbia University, and a well-known authority in the field of rural education, stated to the faculty and students of Hampton Institute in her address here Wednesday evening, that it is not only the territory of Africa that the European governments want, but that they want Africa's trade. For this reason she believes Europe is jealous of the American hold on Africa. Although America owns no land in Africa, commercially she is supreme. This same situation of European jealousy over Africa was one of the chief causes of the world war she claims. "The war was not fought so much to make the world safe for democracy, as to make Africa sale for European powers," stated Miss Carney. "Germany now wants back what she had to give up, and Italy is looking for something that she can call her own." "The native thinking people of Africa are awakening to the realization that the country is out of their control; they feel their racial inheritance has been slipping away Washington A Tribune Washington A Tribune one. In last week's Amsterdam News, Mr. Harrison expands himself to the extent of several columns to make it plain that he thinks well neither of Mr. Van Vechten's book, nor of the reviewers thereof, except his own. If the state of mind disclosed by the reception of the book in certain quarters were not a matter of such serious import, it would be the most laughable thing imaginable. If Mr. Van Vechten is endowed with a sene e of humor, he must be in a state of constant merriment. In The Pittsburgh Courier of last week, Mr. William H. Ferris has an article dealing in a most comprehensive and understanding way with the subject of criticism in general. "Mr. Ferris has much to say that is vitally important, and no one who has not equipped himself by a thorough study of philosophy, psychology, and literature, should not fail to read it, especially if he essays the roll of literary critic. As frivolous and frothy as "Nigger Heaven" is, it will not have been issued in vain, if it results, as it should, in turning the thoughts of those who have noticed it, to more serious and worth while books. This matter has been referred to herebefore in these columns, and reference is again made to it with a view to enforcing the principle that a sense of proportion should be present in all our efforts. In other words, as much effort is not required to be expanded upon a matters affecting "vanity fair," as upon matters affecting the economic social, and political well being of a people. The club of Hercules should not be used to kill a gnat. AN AMERICAN MUSSOLINI? No group of people in the United States has a greater interest in the pre evasion of liberty of speech and freedom to thought than the Negro group. No group of teachers has a greater concern than the Negro group, in the question that has been brought to the public attention by General Fries in his protest to the Board of Education against Professor Flury's definition of racism when appended in the "Forum" for October. Professor Flury is an instructor in the Eastern High School Very promptly and very decisively the Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ballou, and the Board of Education upheld Prof. Flury in his exercise of the right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. In any circumstance, it would be offensive for any officer of the Federal Government to attempt to interfere with a citizen's exercise of his fundamental rights of freedom of speech and of thought. For a military officer to take such action is not only offensive, but extremely omnious, and indicates that all citizens should awake to the necessity of repressing militarism. General Fries is a diminutive edition of Mussolini and will bear watching. Dr. Bailou and the Board of Education are entitled to the sincere commendation of the community for the manner in which they have handled this question. from them and they are unhappy over it." Speaking of the feeling towards America, Miss Carney said that the Africans look to America as a good and which will give them everything they need. They are eager for more missionaries; they want educationally, but most of all they look to America to help them solve the race problem. "Because we have Christianity and education here in America they feel that we should lead them in the matter of race adjustment. That is our obligation to Africa." Miss Carney travelled 25,000 miles on her trip which took her along both the West and East coasts of Africa and some distance into the interior. She was particularly struck with the cleanliness of the natives, their generous spirit and their unfailing interest in America. CHARLES V.

ROLAND HAYES BLAZES TRAIL FOR NEGRO ARTISTS (By Wellington Adams, Editor Music Forum) The Negro's musical voice? Ah, listen to Queen Marie of Roumania who while touring the States visited Kentucky: "I went to the 'old Kentucky Home' and I understood its poetry, while I listened to the Negroes' songs—deep voices singing in pathetic strains Southern melodies full of nostalgia, which take hold of one's heart strings and make them quiver." The Negro's musical voice? Ah, listen then again to the whole-some flairy of local white music critics on Roland Hayes' singing: "He proved himself a consummate master of the vocal art. Imprisoned in his voices is the very soul of melody itself and all the pathos and sentiment of his race. A master of phrasing, . . . his dietion was a thing of beauty, . . . He touched the heart of his audience as well as its musical and artistic senses, and no singer can ask for a greater success."—The Post. "Roland Hayes' voice and excellence in tonal control and diction are already accclaimed by authorities all over the world. However, the vividness of his personality and his sense of treating each tone as a beautiful gem which he lays before his audience for enjoyment cannot be left without mention. He is an increasingly fine artist, and his accompanist, William Lawrence, is also an artist."—The Evening Star. "If there is any better native American tenor than Roland Hayes, I have never seen him and don't know who he is. This remarkable colored vocalist has made remarkable progress in the last few years, and his recital was one of the musical events of the season. In addition to his wonderful voice, Hayes has a perfect enunciation and an unaffected manner that is most appealing."—The Times. Now we reach across the blue seas and listen to Baruzi of Paris: "I heard anew this voice so clear and shadowy, which has the purity of a swift mountain stream, the accent of origins unaltered and unsounded, a supreme, imploring gentleness, and suddenly, at times, after this gentleness, a sort of impersonal bitterness, of a harshness held in abeyance, an unconscious half-sob, of deliverance from trouble." We come back to America to hear what "Vanity Fair" has to say: "We nominate for the Hall o. Fame: Roland Hayes. Because—he brings to his recitals not merely a lyrical voice and a gracious and compelling interpretation; because he puts to shame the average vocal artist by a positive mastery of the five languages in which he sings." Ah, the Negro's glorious voice is coming into its own after years of denial by America's aristocracy. And why not? Every door of hope was closed almost in his face because of race and previous condition but the day King George V of England, bring himself a white monarch, summoned Heyes to sing at Buckingham Palace, that assured his fame with white Americans. Certainly France and Germany embraced him in his art and took him as a model for their own singers. No wonder Queen Marie of Roumania was charmed by the golden voice of Negroes singing down among the winding plains of old Kentucky. This conclusion seems irresistible just now; music seems to be the meeting-ground to break down the barriers of American prejudice between the races. Religion isn't doing it because the white clergy preaches one doctrine to his pewholders and practices another doctrine in every day life. Education isn't doing it completely nor is wealth exactly, nor is science. But music seems to merge the temperamental elements to a larger degree and dissolves the imaginary line of races more or less for art's sake. Roland Hayes' singing takes all the crimp out of the word "Negro" and makes apologizers within the race want to apologize again for trying to be other than "colored." The Negro race is one of the greatest musically gifted races in the world. Time shall vindicate us, and Hayes is our daring crusader in the realm of music. Merit and good fortune are close ly united. A fly must have a dizzy feeling As he crawls along the ceiling.

RAILWAY BOARD TO HEAR PLEA OF PORTERS' UNION NEW YORK, Nov. 26—Arrangements for the hearing of the Pulman porters' case before the United States Mediation Board are being perfected, according to a letter received by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car porters from the secretary of the board, it was announced from the Brotherhood headquarters this week. Edwin P. Morrow, member of the board, has been appointed to make the necessary preliminary investigation for that body, preparatory to a formal hearing, according to the letter. The Brotherhood of the Sleeping Car Porters requestel the Mediation Board to attempt adjustment of wages and working conditions of Pullman porters on October 15, after all attempts to secure a conference with the Pullman Company officials had failed. With a membership of over 5000 porters, or more than half all those in the United States, the Brotherhood appealed its case to its governmental agency, in order to force recognition from the Pullman Company of the right of the porters to organize themselves and engage in collective bargaining, and to obtain improved working conditions and better wages. In making use of the Railway Mediation Board, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is therefore following the course by which other railway unions have obtained important convictions. With the appointment of Morrow to give attention to the Brotherhood's case, prompt action is expected. Evelyn Boller Wvatt 119 V. St. N.W. Hair and Scalp Specialist: Facial and Marveling System.
