ENRAGED MAN RUNS AMUCK; KILLS WIFE AND INJURES TWO FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VI, No. 29 COLORED CAT A TWO-DAY FATHER DUCK The second annual convention of the Federated Colored Catholics of America opened last Sunday, December 5, at St. Augustine's Church on 15th Street with a large crowd present, despite the snow and slush. A large number of delegates were present from the surrounding states. Father Norman A. Duckett, colored priest, preached the opening sermon. Other speakers were: Senator David I. Walsh, Prof. Daniels of Cardinal Gibbons Institute, and Prof. J. W. Turner of Hampton Institute. The convention lasted only two days. It closed with a dance and reception at the Lincoln Colonnade on Monday night. Father Duckett in his sermon said in part: "For in one spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free." . . "The Law of change works its haveo within all organizations through dimensions of one sort or another, indeed, the dissensions which are proverbially prevalent in N. o organizations may be ascribed to the cardinal sins of Negro societies. "Individualism, is the dominant note of the American character. My dear brethren, it is too intensely exaggerated in the character of the American black man. "It is this intense individualism that makes impossible the unity of the Negro peoples: for, despite all the external coercion, the bitter persecution and the racial antagonism to his group, the Negro has not as yet sensed the importance and power of unity. And this the world well realizes, and takes no small advantage of it. "The world will ever continue to assign to our group the inferior place just as long as such divergent elements of individualism (or lack of unity), the color que- ENRAGED MA AMUCK; K AND II A coroner's jury Monday ordered Douglas Griffin, 24, 1133 Sixteenth Street, Northeast, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of his wife, Rosa Lee Griffin. Douglas Griffin fatally shot his wife Sunday afternoon with a .38 caliber pistol, wounding her in the heart and left lung. She was rushed to the Casuily Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. He also shot Mrs. Parthenia Green, 23, and Jim Peyton, 42, who were taken to the Casuily Hospital in a passing automobile and treated for gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred at 1133 Sixteenth Street, Northeast, where the two wounded persons also lived. The dead woman was the sister of Jim Peyton. At the No. 9 precinct police station, Griffin made a statement in which he confessed the shooting. He said that about noon Sunday after he had been drinking at the home of Berry Todd, 1511 Levis Street, Northeast, his wife came and tried to get him to go home. He asked her for his gun, which she denied having, he said, but he put his arm around her and felt it in her bosom. She refused to give it to him. He told his wife to go home and he would be there later. When he got home, Griffin told the police, he saw a man by the name of Herman McDown hugging his wife. He went to a trunk to get his pistol. Failing to find it, he said, he took three cartridges from the trunk and asked his wife to give him his pistol and clothes, telling her that he was going to leave her. His wife said, Griffin stated, that she would give him his pistols but not his clothes until the next morning. Griffin was given his pistol. He took the three cartridges he had taken from the trunk and loaded it. By that time his wife and brother-in-law were at his sides. He fell to the floor and began shooting, fatally wounding his wife and hitting his brother-in-law and Mrs. Parthenia Green. While he was still on the floor, Mrs. Mary Todd, 1153 Sixteenth Street, Northeast, came into the house and took the .38 caliber gun from his hands. Griffin fled info the woods nearby. He was followed by Francis W. Becker, a former Department of Justice agent, and arrested. Washington Tribune THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S.

COOLIDGE TOUCHES VAGUELY ON PROBLEMS AFFECTING NEGRO RACE By Louis R. Lautier In his annual message to the Congress delivered Tuesday President Coolidge unequivocably declared for an amelioration of race prejudice, the extension of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws to all elements, and the eradication of lynching. "The social well-being of our country," the President stated, "requires our constant effort for the amelioration of race prejudice and the extension to all elements of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws which are guaranteed by the Constitution. The Federal Government especially is charged with this obligation in behalf of the colored people of the Nation. "Not only their remarkable progress, their devotion and their loyalty, but our duty to ourselves under our claim that we are an enlightened people requires us to use all our power to protect them from the crime of lynching. "Although violence of this kind has very much decreased, while any of it remains we can not justify neglecting to make every effort to eradicate it by law. "The education of the colored race under Government encouragement is proceeding and ought to have continuing support. An increasing need exists for properly educated and trained medical skill to be devoted to the service of this race." Peace and Prosperity The state of the Union, the President reported to the Congress, is one of general peace and prosperity. He pointed out that the United States is engaged in no armed conflicts and that no acute chronic depression exists anywhere. There are three causes for the present state of prosperity, President Coolidge said. The first is economy, resulting in reduction and reform in national taxation. The other two are the elimination (Continued on page 2). NEGRO ACADEMY TO HOLD 36TH ANNIVERSARY The thirtieth annual meeting of The American Negro Academy will be hold here Wednesday, December 20.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1926 APEX CLUB TO GIVE ANNUAL XMAS FEAST Following its usual custom, the Apex Club will give an annual dinner to the poor of Washington this Christmas. Requests already are being received from poor people that they be included among those who will be the dinner guests of the club this Christmas. One of these requests comes from a woman who has four dependent children. She thanked the club for its dinner given last year and said that it was the best she ever had. HUSBAND HAD ANOTHER WIFE; ASKS FREEDOM Through Attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Ernest Davis, Mrs. Florence Wright, 4501 Clay Street, Northeast, is asking the District Supreme Court to annul her marriage to George A. Wright. In her bill of complaint Mrs. Wright charges that her husband had a wife from whom he had not been legally divorced at the time he married her. Her husband told her nothing of his prior marriage, Mrs. Wright says, until two years after she had become his wife when a mutual friend advised her of it. Upon questioning him, she states, he admitted that he had been married previously but that it had been annulled. She made an investigation, Mrs. Wright declares, and found that her husband married Kathryn Robinson Taylor in Richmond, Va., September 18, 1920. Six months after this marriage, Mrs. Wright says, Kathryn Robinson Wright, nee Taylor, left her husband returning to her home in Richmond Shortly afterwards Mrs. Wright induced wife No. 1 to return and live with him and they went to Philadelphia, Pa., to live, but in about 5 days Mr. Wright had returned to Washington and wife No. 1 to Richmond, wife No. 2 alleges. April 11, 1924, Mr. Wright secured a divorce from wife No. 1 in the circuit court for King and Queen county, Virginia, but wife No. 2 charges that this divorce was improperly obtained because Mr. Wright was not a resident of Virginia and no notice was given to wife No. 1. The divorce decree provided that neither party should marry again within 6 months from the date of the decree. September 14, 1924. 5 months and 3 days after the decree had been issued, Mr. Wright was married to wife No. 2 in the District of Columbia by the Rev. James L. Pinn. None of the facts concerning his alleged marital ventures were told her until two years after their marriage, Mrs. Florence Wright claims, and immediately upon learning of them she removed from the house they were occupying and purchasing as joint tenants at No. 4417 Hayes Street, northeast. She asks the court to declare her marriage void, and to determine her property right in the Hayes Street property. Two youthful handits, both white, attempted to hold up Dr. Milton Francis, 2109 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, in his office Tuesday night, December 9, about 8 o'clock, his closing time. They were foiled in their attempt, however by the physician. According to the report made, Dr. Francis was in the back of his office when two rough-looking characters came in. The doctor walked half way up the hall, asking as he went what the men wanted. "Treatment," was the answer. Dr. Francis told the one who wanted treatment to come to the back office, and he directed the other to step into the waiting room, which is up front. The door to the examination room in the back was then closed, and while in there, Dr. Francis asked the man to partially undress. He compiled. Just as Dr. Francis had finished his examination and had prescribed treatment for the man, the waiting accomplice stepped into the door of the examination room. pistol in hand, and ordered Dr. Francis to "put 'em up." Twice the command was given, neither time was it obeyed. Instead, Dr. Francis jumped behind a sheet screen near the door and gave it a push. The intruding handit was emeshed in its folds. The one who had just been examined, grabbed for his hat and coat, and fled partially dressed, the other following as soon as he disentangled himself from the screen. The men left no clues as to their identities. DR. TERRY IS ELECTED HEAD OF P.-T. ASSN. DR. TERRY IS ELECTED HEAD OF P.-T. ASSN. Upon the request of Principal M.

White on Wednesday filed suit against C. T. Taylor, 2001 Eleventh Street, Northwest, for recission and cancellation of a note. Mrs. Hill is the wife of Charles S. Hill, a lawyer, who is serving a 3-year sentence at Lorton, Va., for embezzlement of $7,522 from Morning Star Lodge No. 40, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Mr. and Mrs. White are the brother-in-law and sister of Hill. In their petition filed through Attorneys Charles E. Robinson and J. Louis Taylor, they allege that on October 29, last, Mrs. Hill made a promissory note for $1,500, payable to the order of Mary E. White and James C. White. This note was made payable at the rate of $75 quarterly and bore interest at the rate of 7 per cent. This note, the plaintiffs claim, was made, endorsed and delivered by them to Charles S. Hill for the purpose of raising $1,000 to be used on account of partial restitution to the Morning Star Lodge of the funds embezzled by Hill. The plaintiffs assert that Hill delivered this note to C. T. Taylor, who promised to raise the sum of $1,000 on the note that it might be applied to a restitution of the embezzled funds. Taylor could not or did not raise the money as he promised, the plaintiffs say, but he retained the note notwithstanding demands made upon him for its return to the makers. Mr. Taylor has been cited by the court to show cause why this note should not be returned to the makers. In a statement after the filing of this suit, Mr. Taylor claimed that he is holding the note sued upon as security for a former note made by Charles S. Hill and endorsed by himself and Jesse Foster. This note was for the sum of $1,730 and was discounted at the Second National Bank. Mr. Taylor says. Upon the conviction of Hill, the Second National Bank sued the endorsers of this note.

This club is doing very effective work along literary lines and is trying to create and inspire a love for this kind of work among those so gifted in our group. In addition to the instructive talk by Miss Bennett, original poems were read by some of our very young writers who were Miss Pinkett, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Pinkett and Miss Jean Westmoreland, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Westmoreland, and Miss Lane. The selections read showed wonderful aptitude along this line for these young writers and need only be encouraged and nurtured for effective results.

Louis Taylor, Mrs. Mary W. Lomax, 1012 Sixth Street, Northwest, is suing her husband, Saywood L. Lomax, 1342 Corcoran Street, Northwest, for a limited divorce. She alleges cruelty and non-support. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Lomax charges that the fonnness of her husband for other women is responsible for his attitude toward her. On August 31, last, she declares, he left her without making any provision for her room rent and board. He has contributed but $20 since then toward her support, she claims. Mrs. Lomax says that on account of his refusal to provide for her, she was forced to seek employment and on January 4, 1926, she secured work at the office of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company at a salary of $36 a month. Out of this sum, she states, her husband forced her to turn over to him $13 a month, and when her salary was increased to $40 a month he forced her to increase her donation to him to $15 a month. They were married in Montgomery, Ala., July 23, 1925, but left there on their wedding day for Washington and have lived here ever since. They have no children. Mr. Lomax is employed as a messenger in the office of the Secretary of the Navy at a salary of $85 a month, his wife says.

Allen, M.D. 1525 5th Street, Northwest In my last article, I called attention to the improper attitude that we have towards our bodies. This wrong attitude, is held universally by rich and poor, the ignorant and the educated, the business man and the laborer. We expect our human machine to run perfectly for a good many years under the poorest hygienic conditions without any expert attention, when we do not expect the same from an automobile. Well, to be frank, we are fooling ourselves. Each organ in the body functions normally under certain conditions. If we give it these conditions, it prosper; if we do not, it suffers. It is a daily occurrence for a patient, or an applicant for a fraternal organization, to tell me that he was perfectly well, that he had not consulted a physician for years. In other words he had been running his machine without expert supervision. Many of the persons I have found on examination to have well developed cases of kidney, heart, and other serious diseases. After their vain boasting it seemed a pity to inform them of their true condition, to awaken them from their dream, but that's a physician's duty. In all stages of human life, a watchful attitude must be observed. Each stage is beset with certain dangers, certain snakes. It is unfortunate, but it is true. During pregnancy, things go wrong sometimes. The kidneys, for example, function imperfectly, resulting in convulsions and death. Many lives are lost by our women expecting everything to turn out all right. A doctor is called when something happens—then too late. Common sense suggests the remedy. A pregnant woman should be under the care of a physician as early as possible. The doctor by his training and experience knows the dangers, and he is on the watch by frequent examinations of urine, blood pressure reading, etc., for any signs of trouble. It is a wonderful thing to be the parent of a healthy baby. Some credit must be given to the father and mother for being healthy themselves, but the greatest credit belongs to the parents who through love, hard work, and intelligence rear their children, lucky if healthy at the start, to healthy manhood and womanhood. Our death rate during infancy and childhood is very high, three to four times higher than the other race in some communities. The chief reason is that mothers are ignorant of the care of the little machines entrusted to their care. They were not taught such in school, and are guided by tradition and instinct, with disastrous results. The physician is the necessary adjunct to the mother. She supplies the love and the unceasing toil, while he supplies the expert or necessary intelligence in laying a strong foundation. The doctor knows the normal child. He knows the advances that have been made in scientific, child study, the methods used to prevent disease; that is, dintheria, scarlet fever, heart trouble, etc. His knowledge is at the disposal of the mother, but how few think it necessary to get it. During the days of childhood and early adult life many of the diseases that later cause death have their beginning. Rhythmatic infected tonsils, the so-called diseases of childhood leave crippled organs in their wake. Overwork, overeating, lack of exercise, of sleep, and other habits that we are familiar with, have their injurious effect. When symptoms cause enough inconvenience so that the unfortunate individual clammerms for immediate relief, then there is plenty of work for A Greeting made to order-- A Gift that your friends cannot buy-- Something that does not suggest a price nor carry an obligation-- 11th and U Sts., N.W.

CONFAB SIX At a very fitting ceremony Wednesday, 19 Howard football men were presented with the varsity "H." The assembly, held in the Chapel was attended by nearly 500 students, and presided over by President Mordecal Johnson. Following a short talk by the President, Professor E. P. Davis, chairman, Howard University Athletic Board of Control, introduced the principal speaker, Professor Walter L. Smith, principal, Dumbar High School, and formerly a captain of the Howard varsity football team. Mr. Smith eloquently dealt with the subject, "Loyalty as an Inspiration," which was interesting and enlightening. In citing the inspirational qualities of a person who is striving to accomplish an end, Mr. Smith used as an example the present-day football professionalism. He called attention to the fact that a player who was an outstanding star in college football never equals those achievements in professional football. The reason, he implied, is because there is not that amount of soul or enthusiasm in his work as there was when that player was striving to give victory to his beloved Alma Mater. Turning to the team, nineteen husky, energetic athletes, the oldtime Howard griddier said, "Let the same spirit of loyalty to a good cause, that has placed your school at the top of the gridiron realm, carry you on in after life, though your ears may ring with jeers instead of the thousands of plaudits you once received." Letters were awarded by Prof. E. P. Davis to the following men: John Elwin Cardwell, Mgr. Vernon Bulgen Smith, Captain Milfred Henry Martin Hilry Charles Thomas Carroll Willis Sallie Costromer Ewell Andrew James Smith Dennis Simpson Moses Grayson Rainey Hughlon M. Kelly Louis Foley Campbell John Lorenzo Young Cecil Clarence Hinton Robert E. Miller James I. Tyson Edgar Kenny Ross John Henry Coles Daniel Webster Brown Clarence Edelbert Smith. Sweaters were presented to the following men receiving letters for the first time: John Elihu Cardwell Costromer Ewell Dennis Simpson Andrew James Smith Moses Grayson Rainey John Lorenzo Young Cecil Clarence Hinton. Receiving the varsity "H" for the second time the following men were also presented with 14 karat engraved gold football watch charms: Hilry Charles Thomas Robert E. Miller James I. Tyson Edgar Kenny Ross John Henry Coles Daniel Webster Brown Clarence Edelbert Smith. Following the awards, Manager Elihu Cardwell presented Coach Louis L. Watson with a gold football from the members of the varsity team. His tribute to the Bison mentor can be found elsewhere on this page. 'ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES AT THE Y.M.C.A. Through the courtesy of the Community Center the Y.M.C.A. has secured the use of the Dunbar high school swimming pool for regular class work. Classes are being held every Thursday night. Special attention is being given to beginners and those who are interested in the more advanced work of fancy diving and life saving. The pool is open from six until pine every Thursday night. Three life guards and instructors are in attendance. Over thirty men and boys attended the opening last Thursday night. The second carnival of the season was held last Friday night. The pie race and the three-legged race among the boys furnished a great amount of amusement. Five boxing bouts were staged. Each bout was a whirlwind of action with some of the contenders showing real ability. The basketball season will open Friday night, December 10 at 8 o'clock with a game between the Community A.C. and the Manchesters of the senior league. These teams have for the next three years been contenders for the top honors in amateur basketball in this city. IN NEXT ISSUE SEE NEXT EDITION OF THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FOR TRIBUNE ALL-COLLEGIATE SELECTIONS. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor Friday and Saturday, Dec. 10th and 11th, will witness the first annual meeting of the newly formed American Collegiate Athletic Association at the North Carolina college for Negroes at Durham. This association, of which Dr. Louis Watson head coach of Howard's squad, is president, was organized on May 7, 1926, at Howard. Its purpose is "to stimulate, encourage, and supervise the growth and development of athletics in educational institutions for the colored youth, and to preserve records of colored athletes as well as to provide for a central authority for consideration and advice upon all problems peculiar to our group." Coach Watson has six suggestions he will present for the Convention to discuss and act upon. He will ask that they devise plans for, and consider the following: 1. To interest non-member institutions in the A.C.A.A. 2. The gradation of Athletic Playing Conferences (a) Collegiate (b) Normal School (c) Combination (including institutions that play both college and preparatory school men on their varsity teams.) (d) Academic (e) High School 3. Intersectional and inter-conference championship matches. 4. Organizing and supervising officials of various sports. 5. The establishment of an advisory board of instructors, coaches and officials, the function of which will be to keep institutions and individual instructors, coaches and officials advised as to conditions obtaining in different sections. 6. The promotion of more extensive physical educational programs and varsity competitive programs to include such games as soccer, volley ball, boxing, wrestling, swimming, hockey, etc. THE GAME OF FOOTBALL by Dr. E.

Several coaches have used these questions and answers to add more football sense to their squads. I hope my replies to individuals who solicited personal correspondence have been satisfactory. I am ending this column with a few observations on the game of today. Are the rules of today satisfactory? They are about as satisfactory as they ever will be. There are two points that bring dissatisfaction yet, the shift and the point after touchdown. Many prominent coaches think the shift will always be a doubtful play and will depend too much on who the officials are and how they see it. The rule demands a motionless instance before the ball is snapped,—not alone the feet to be flat on the ground. Many consider the point after touchdown as unnecessary and of too high a valuation as scores go. The penalty for two incomplete passes in the same scrimmage made some teams slow up in indiscriminate hurling of the ball, and caused coaches to develop a higher art of passing and receiving. Of course the last word in the evolution of new methods of attack of defense has not been said and if the newer wrinkles make for intolerable situations rules will be changed. Is modern football a harder game than the game of ten years ago? It is a harder game on the nervous system but less arduous than the older type of game. A premium is placed on brains. A team of well drilled thinking players, by surprise attacks, strong in fundamental elements of defense and offense will win much more often than the big huskies of yesterday in the game of today. Is not the game being over-emphasized? This is a stock question of the teachers of the old school who still believe the objectives of education in schools of today are the same as the aims of medieval times. Schools now aim largely to turn out better citizens. When a man spends fifteen to twenty years in school and college he should be prepared to walk out into life and live his part without further schooling in practical citizenship. Football and other athletics help do this thing not by any means for the football players alone, but for every citizen of the place called school. No, football is not being over-emphasized, but our educators and coaches need to appreciate a little more the wonderful character building possibilities of athletics for player and looker-on as well. (To be continued) SEVENTY CANDIDATES REPORT TO COACH BURR SEVENTY CANDIDATES REPORT TO COACH BURR . Seventy candidates have reported to Coach John A. Burr at Howard University with aspirations of becoming varsity men on the Bison basketball squad of 1927. With Captain Spears, Simpson, Coates, Bundrant, and Washington of last year's combination back, the Howard coach has a formidable nucleus around which he may build a much to be feared aggregation. While Coach Burr, in an interview with the Tribune Sports Editor recently, would make no championship predictions, he seemed highly pleased with the team's prospects. Especially impressed is he with the promise shown by "Kay" Trigge (old Alco and Alba mainstay); Carmerton, of the 1925 Blue and White Machine; Cobbs, Delta B5" forward, and Woods, with the Kappa Plechs last season. First year men demanding recognition are Campbell, Robinson, former Armstrong tosser, Hinton of this year's football team and Hunton a prospect from Detroit, Mich. Through careful booking the Blue and White coach has devised a tentative schedule that will not (b) Normal School JOHN CRUTCHFIELD VS JOE STEWART AT "Y" A record crowd at the Y.M.C.A. sport carnival, Friday evening, December 3, witnessed one of the best cards yet to be staged by the new physical director, Johnny Donehy a former Howard University football star, and his assistant Henry "Fats" Walker. The boys' events consisted of relay races, three-legged races, sack races and a pie race. Eugene L. C. Davidson, former amateur wrestling champion of Harvard University and Johnny Fiske of the U.S. Navy gave an exhibition of some of the famous locks and holds used by the best wrestlers in the game. The curtain raiser was a go between little Joe and Al Whitney; a special event between Johnny Fiske, U.S. Navy, and Ad Stone, U.S. Navy; a special event between Kid Archie and Young Brechenridge, and the semi-final between Fats Walker and Bing Miller were jam-up with action. The feature of the evening was the bout between Johnny Crutchfield, lightweight champion of the U.S.S. Allen, and Joe Stewart, lightweight champion of the city. The fight was remarkably fast and furious from start to finish, and though Stewart was stung many times by Crutchfield's punches, he was not as active as he has been in previous battles. They certainly did make it a contest. Crutchfield was never in any danger of being stopped by any of Stewart's punches, but was rather in danger of being outscored by his opponent. Nevertheless he kept to the plan he had made for battling a fighter like Stewart, which is to crowd him and keep on crowding him. At the end of the bout, no decision was given. But it certainly was some fight. F FOOTBALL hard from so many sources that this pulple to those interested in the game used these questions and answers squads.

MOST POPULAR BASKETEER? WHO IS THE CITY'S MOST POPULAR BASKETBALL PLAYER?—WATCH THIS PAGE. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1926 By Fred R. Byrd ONE LOCAL BOY ON ALL-CONFERENCE ELEVEN The All-Conference Football Eleven, picked by the coaches at the Third Annual Meeting of the Interstate High School Athletic Conference, includes only one local high school griddler. Louis Dabney, captain-elect of the Armstrong Football Varsity 1927, is the player to receive that singular honor. Though there are two Armstrongers to appear in the second team selection; the Tech backlash was the only member of the 1926 combination believed to be All-Conference first team material. Dunbar was not considered owing to her unexplained withdrawal from the Conference at the beginning of the season. Nor was the Red and Black School represented at the confab, held at the Elks' Home, Newport News, Virginia, Saturday, November 27. COMMUNITY MEETS HOWARD FRESHMEN The Community A.A. Yellow-jackets, amateur champions of the District are to meet the Howard University Freshmen team, Saturday, December 18 in the Howard gymnasium, in a basketball game. Athletic Director Burr has a number of men under his wing and is promising Community a real battle. Last year the uncoached Bison Freshmen forced the Orange and Black Machine when the Yellow-jackets won 30-20. This time, however, the collegians say they cannot lose. Besides Community the Howard-ites have booked with Armstrong, Dunbar, Storer College, and the Philadelphia Scholastics. COLORED PLAYERS WIN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 7 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Three colored gridders were high lights in the winning of the California State Championship, by the Pasadena Junior College, here today when San Matee College was downed 13-7. "Slick" Stocks, halfback with the help of Hawkins and Brownlee, ends, turned defeat into victory in the closing two minutes. With the score 7-6 against his team and the game end only a couple minutes away, Stocks made a 40-yard punt return, and then by virtue of two well directed forward passes with Hawkins on the receiving end, he became directly responsible for the resulting touchdown and 13-7 victory. TRIBUTE TO Dr. L. L. WATSON Mr. John Eliku Cardwell in presenting Dr. Louis L. Watson, Howard University coach with a gold football at the College Hour Exercises last Wednesday, paid him the accompanying tribute: "For having given this wonderful institution the greatest Colored Team in the country, the members of the Howard Football Varsity wish to present you with this gold football, emblematic of our sincere appreciation of your most successful work. We are grateful as no multiplicity of words can express, and not Notre Dame has its Rockne, though Michigan has its Yost, we are contents, because Howard has its Watson." BISON QUARTER-BACK ALWAYS NAMED Selections of all-American football teams are in the fore. Here we present to our redders a mythical eleven selected by one of the country's leading colored sport writers, H. Scott, former sports editor of The Washington Tribune, with the aid of J. Chiles, co-editor of The Colored Collegiate Football Record, who offers the following All-American: Redden, Wilberforce . . . End Lamar, Atlanta . . . Tackle Grasty, Lincoln . . . Guard Kirkpat'ck, Talladega, Center Lee, Hampton . . . Guard V. Smith, Howard . . . Tackle Gaithers, W. Va. Inst. . . End Coles, Howard . Quarterback C. Smith, Howard . Halfback Stevenson, Tuskegee, Halfback Coleman, A. & T. . . Fullback From "Seck" Simms, out at Wilberforce, comes the belief that besides the selection of Howard as the country's greatest colored team of the season, four of the Bisons should be All-American candidates. Following is the team he has to offer: Williams, Langston ..... End Lamar, Atlanta ..... Tackle Bickett, Wilberforce ..... Guard Buchanan, Wilberf'ce, Center Miller, Howard ..... Guard Lee, Hampton ..... Tackle Campbell, Howard ..... End Coles, Howard .. Quarterback Russ, Sam Houston, Halfback C. Smith, Howard .. Halfback Cavil, Wiley ..... Fullback "TIGER" FLOWERS LOSES ON DECISION "TIGER" FLOWERS LOSES ON DECISION Walker Awarded Verdict Amid Boos. Return Battle Guaranteed. CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 3—Alas! another of our champions of pugilism has been stopped, the third in a period of two months. Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Deacon, follows the way of Wills and Suggs. Harry Wills, the Black Panther of the heavyweight division was "TIGER" FLOWERS first. He lost on a foul in the 13th round after Jack Sharkey had all but stepped on him. Later little Chick Suggs, our bantom hope, was decisively whipped by Honey Boy Finnegan. Tonight, our brightest star was darkened by a reference's decision over Flowers, middleweight champion, to Mickey Walker. Though the verdict was a questionable one, it was a verdict just same—and that's that. On two occasions, in the first round, for the count of four, then in the ninth for no count, the Fighting Deacon was floored, but following each knockdown he came back to severely punish his adversary. The general consensus of the reporters' stories are that some of the ring-side spectators thought that Flowers won five rounds, that four went to Walker and that the other one was even. Others thought that Flowers took an even greater number of rounds. Surprise was written all over the blood-spattered countenance of Walker as Referee Yonger, himself an old-time boxer, raised Walker's hand as a symbol of victory. That the 11,000 spectators were more than doubtful may be evidenced by the fact that for a brief time there was utmost silence, then followed, first a series of boos, and finally an outburst of cheering. Immediately the dehonored "Tiger" walked over and grasped the crimson-smeared glove of the new champion. "Walk," Miller, Flower's mana- NEGRO BEATH RATE MOUNTING Recent tabulation of comparative November death rates of whites and Negroes in 65 cities with a total population of 29,000,000 has revealed that, in Washington, having a Negro population of approximately 28 per cent, 44 per cent of deaths for the week of November 13, were of Negroes. The proportion of Negro deaths compared with the rate of the same week of last year is higher. A similar condition was found in Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Richmond. These returns for the week also indicate, however, that in Atlanta, Georgia, where the colored population constitutes only 31 per cent of the total population, nearly 52 per cent of all deaths during the week were among the colored residents. In Richmond, Va., the colored population is 32 per cent of the total, but the deaths of colored persons during the week was nearly 38 per cent of all deaths. Down in Houston, Tex., nearly 30 per cent of the deaths were among colored citizens who constitute 25 per cent of the total population. In Fort Worth, although only 14 per cent of the population is colored, more than 23 per cent of all deaths during the week were among our group. More than 44 per cent of the deaths in Washington, D.C., 31 per cent in Baltimore, Md., and Birmingham, Ala., 19 per cent in Dallas, Tex., and 13 per cent in Indianapolis, Ind., were registered as colored. As compared with the corresponding week of last year, and with the deaths of white for the same period, the proportion of colored was greater in Baltimore Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Richmond, Va., and Washington. COMMUNITY OPENS "Y" BASKETBALL LEAGUE The Community aggregation of baskets will open the 12th Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Basketball League tonight against the Manchester A.C. Beginning with this game on each Monday and Friday throughout the winter, there will be a league game getting under way at 8:15 p.m. on the "Y" Court. This year two new entries, Miles A. C. and the Washington Scholastics will battle with the older "Y" League teams, Community, Manchester, Shiloh, and Le Rovers. Two of the three years of its existence the Yellowjackets have garnered the title. In 1925 after a poor start the Orange and Black team climbed to a tie for second place. Each week The Washington Tribune will carry a full account of the games held the preceding Friday and Monday. MINER NORMAL WINS BASKETRALL OPENER The Miner Normal quint won its opening game very handily last Friday when the Alumni combination was trounced 47-31. The graduates with Smith and Simms, Carlisles, in the line-up proved no match for the Normal lads' passing and scoring machine. The six-footer, Jimmy Jones in center fitted in nicely with Brown and Baltimore as the three alone were responsible for 40 of the 47 points, scored by the Blue and White five. Line-up and summary: Normal Alumni Alumni Baltimore ..... R.F. ..... Dougherty Grown ..... L.F. ..... Lancaster Jones ..... Center ..... Stevenson Tinnen(c) ..... R.G. ..... Smith(c) Sellman .....

Because of these fears Miller had demanded a forfeit of $65,000 from Jack Kearns, Walker's manager, guarageeing to give Flowers a return match within 90 days. Kearns had further agreed that Flowers would be the first challenger. "We had a good referee in there," Miller said. "He decided Walker won, so it must be so. However, Flowers was hit low two tines and these punches took the steam out of him. Walker has got to fight Flowers again within three months. Kearns has $65,000 up to guarantee it." 1 Dr. EMMETT J.

The plaque bears the Howard seal and is embellished with various athletic figures. Presentation was made by Coach Louis L. Watson. SOCIETY TAKES COMMAND OF NIGHT CLUB BOHEMIA Noted celebrities from every section of the country met in the beautiful rendezvous, the Night Club Bohemia, during the Thanksgiving season. Fraternities and exclusive social clubs kept continuous reservations throughout the week. The night life spirit was expected to wane for awhile after such a strenuous period but from all appearances, the holiday spirit still holds sway nightly, at the club. It simply proves that Washington is willing to be on the map with other cities in supporting places of amusement but they must be of smart social environment.

This picture comes to the Howard direct from the Rialto, downtown, after a tremendous business. The Howard has become the home of first-run Universal pictures, which will be shown directly after their first showing downtown. "The Midnight Sun" is a startling, thrilling, lavish, gorgeous ballet of jewels—a love story of a grand duke and a dancing toy. A picture you will not soon forget. In conjunction with this magnificent photoplay there will be presented a revue of twenty artists, such as Cleo Mitchell, Isaac Williams, King Nappie, the buck and wing dancer deluxe, Willie Oglesby, and Henry Coleman, and a line of girls good to look at. Friday night, as usual the midnight ramble, and on Saturday night "the Barrel of Fun" is worth the price of admission alone. Be sure to look at the beautiful things on display in the Howard lobby, which will be given to the lucky persons on Saturday night. LINCOLN TO SHOW LEADING PICTURES AT REDUCED.

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISTRICT BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISTRICT The tremendous building development in the national capital has brought about a number of improvements for bettering living conditions here, and affording an opportunity for every citizen of Washington to become the owner of his own home. During the past year $100,000,-000 have been spent in building new housing accommodations for 100,000 persons in the District. One of the biggest developments is the rise in popularity of the co-operative apartment home. Approximately 25 per cent of the money spent this year in housing has been to supply the increasing demand for co-operative apartment homes. Copying the example started in France, America builders improved the plan of this type of home and introduced it in America. The result has been nothing short of astounding. Thousands have bought them throughout the country, and hundreds have purchased them in Washington. Some of the most beautiful homes on this plan have been erected by the Home Savings Company. The co-operative apartment plan is a new factor in the building industry of the nation and because of the great saving in the cost to purchasers of these homes, it is rapidly becoming of vast importance in business life. A small dwon payment and a monthly payment often less than rent, buys the purchaser his home at much less cost than a house. Payment of taxes, water rent, etc., is eliminated. Economists and building experts here and throughout the country have been astounded at the rapid rise of this modern type of home. In the neighborhood of Howard University, the Home Saving's Co., has planned a development that will cost thousands of dollars. Former Chief Justice Hughes, has purchased a home on this who was once Secretary of State, plan. The co-operative apartment home idea is one of the big factors now being considered in the development of low priced homes that will be a credit and adornment in the development of the nation's capital as the most beautiful city in the world. Next year, experts predict, will be the biggest year in the building history of Washington. It will reach, with the Federal Government's work, about $80,000,000; and much of this tremendous growth will be represented in the erection of the co-operative apartment home which is the modern answer to the problem of the high cost of owning a good home in a good location.

Though not pecifically so stated, it is pre- uumed that these one hundred lergymen are all of the white! os | The° subtlety and inquisitional character of the questionnaire, as ell as its strictly theological col- , lend weight to that conclusion, thile in its present stage the in- juiry on the surface discloses noth- ing dangerous or objectionable, it san not be forgotten that the Span- sh Inquisition with all of its hor- *s and atrocities had its origin in quiries into people's beliefs con- ‘ning matters purely theological. The inquiry instituted by these me hundred clergymen consist of felve questions, each of which is| be answered by “Yes” or “No.” ive of the questions deal with itters entirely within the realm if theology. The remaining seven juestions are vaguely and remote- ly sociological and psychological in aracter. ‘The qu¢stions follow: 1. Do you believe in God? 2. Do you believe in- immortali- ty? 8. Do you believe in prayer as a ans of personal «relationship th God? 4. Do you believe that Jesus was livine as no other man was divine? 5. Do you regard the Bible as in- pired in a sense.that no other lit- jure could be said to be in- G. Are you an active member of i, church? 7. Do you regularly attend any ious services? 8. Would you be willing to have wt family grow up in a commu- ity in which there is no church? 9. Do you regularly have “fami- ly worship” in your home? 10. Were you brought up in a re- ligious home? _ 11. Do you send your children to any school of religious instruc- ‘ion? 42. Do you think that religion in some form is a necessary ele: it of life for the individual and for the community ? In place of questions 6 to 12, we Iwould like to, have answers from the fifty millions of church mem: hers in the United States to the following: 6. Do you think that belief in God, immortality, prayer, the di- nity of Jesus and the inspiration of the Bible is consistent with dis- Htinctions among members of the human family based upon race, leolor or economic status? 7. As a matter of personal ex- rience, do you find that, belief in , immortality, prayer, the di- ‘nity of Jesus and the inspiration lof the Bible clarifies your under- Istanding as to the injustice—social, political, civil and economic—which [Negroes suffer in this country? 8. Do you think that the estab- Hishment of caste and the erection lof middle walls of partition be- tween fellow Christians are con. sistent with helief in the fine speci ications? 9. Do you think that belief as tc Hthese fiye matters is promotive o: Naw and order, and results in great ler security of life and liberty? 10. Do you think that such be. lief is conducive to a recognition lof the brotherhood of man, not a: ja mere abstraction, but as a fact concrete, material, physical an¢ biological? 41. Do you find among peop! who believe in these things a larg er sense of justice and a more ar dent love of fellowman, than a mong people who do not believe ii them? 12. In general do you find tha belief in these things has a ten dency to bind men together an to multiply points of contact an intercourse? Questionnaires, which is anothe mame for inquisitions, are becom ing all too common, and as a rul no good results proceed from them They are usually undertaken fo partisan purposes, or for propagan ida, and are to be viewed with sus Picion, and to be closely scruti nized. JOHN R. HAWKINS’S UNIQUE The establishment of the John R. Hawkins, Jr. Memorial News- boys’ Savings Fund by John R. Hawkins, president of the Pruden- tial Savings Bank, as explained in our issue of November 26, is a matter deserving of more than passing comment. Here we have not only the advice to young pepole to be thrifty, which is always good advice, but also a simple, workable, safe and easily understood plan by which the habit of thrift may be practical: and realized. But Mr. Hawkins is not satis- fied with adviee and a diagram showing how the plan may be worked. He fakes another and unusual step, that is he makes a substantial contribution out of his own pocket to the success of the fund, giving a hundred dollars each year for five years thereto, at the end of which time, the fund is to be dis- tributed to the depositors, Mr. Hawkins’s contribution going to swell the amount to be distributed to them. In this case Mr. Haw- kins is setting an example that our colored men of means and accu- mulated surplus should follow. The poor and less favored cle- ments of our people need not only sound aflvice, but they need actual, concrete, efficient guidance and co- operation from those who have and who know. This Mr. Hawkins is giving. FISK UNIVERSITY AND OTHERS Negro education is undoubtedly entering upon a new phase. ‘The sources of charity are dried up, or are drying up. Education of the secondary and higher grades in passing into State control or un- der the in‘ uence and control of the great foundations like the Gen- eral Education Board, the Phelps- Stokes Foundation! and the Car- negie Foundation, ‘The Methodist Episcopal Chureh, the Northern Baptist Church, the Presbyterian Chureh and the Prot- ‘estant Episcopal Chureh through their missionary societies are car- rying on the work of education in the higher reaches with as much efficiency as denominational schools are ordinarily conducted. The Congregational Church in proportion to its membership has done more for Negro education and has established and maintained a higher standard of excellence in its institutions than the other denomi- nations. Howard, Fisk and Atlanta Uni- yersities arg of Congregational origin, though now under the con- trol and management of boards of trustees of independent constitu- tion, Howard University receives an annual appropriation from the National Government, though with- out legal status as a federaleagen- ey, the appropriation each year be- ing in the nature of a gratuity. It has no adequate and sustaining en- dowment. : Fisk University at Nashville, Tennessee, is facing a crisis. It has no adequate endowment. ‘There is no church missionary society to provide it with funds. It enjoys no government subvention, It now has an outstanding debt of $125,000; it needs at least $100,000 for running expenses for the cur- rent year; it needs another $100,000 for repair of buildings. Here is a total of $325,000. If this sum ean he raised by June 1, 1927, there is in sight an endowment of $1,000,000. In the case of Fisk University, there is an especial duty confront- ing the alumni and former stu- dents. Next to Howard the alumni of Fisk is the largest group of any of our race colleges and universi- ties. Rumor has it that there is not that harmony and concert of action among this group which is necessary to meet the crisis now before the institution. Under normal and ordinary con- ditions the Fiskites should contrib- ute and pay into the coffers of the University $100.000 by June 1, 1927. ‘They are numerous enough and they are financially able to do it. What they need is the will. The problem is to get them to will to contribute and pay. The alumni and former students of Atlanta University have entered upon the task ‘of raising an en- dowment of $100,000. They already have pledges among themselves of more than $60,000, and have paid in actual cash more than $16,000. The alum- ni body of Atlanta University is relatively small as compared with Howard and Fisk.

AN EXAMPLE OF BUSINESS ARILITY At is not often that anything in the way of advertisement of a business, whatever form it may take, is a fit subject for editorial mention and comment, An exeep- tion, it seems, may be made in the case of an album recently issued by Poro College, of St. Louis, Mis- souri, founded, owned and directed by Mrs. Annie M. Turnbo-Malone, under the title of “Poro in Pic- ture.” ‘The album, for such it deserves to be called, is a thing of beauty. In addition to containing a picture of Mrs, Malone and, pictures of ‘the college, hoth exterior and in- terior, all in photogravure, it con- tains an account of the commence- ment and development of the busi- ness, Mrs, Malone entered upon this business in the most modest. way, and practically without capital. The enterprise has "grown to immense proportions. Along with business enterprise, Mrs. Malone has con- tinually held in her mind and car- ried out in reality, the highest ideals of beauty and social better- ment. ‘The business is large and is or- ganized in departments according to approved business principles. No one oan see this album and read therein the story of the growth of Poro without feeling that here is a conerete example of what the Ne- gro-can do in business who is quali- fied therefor, and who has industry» faith and unconquerable will. ‘There are other lines of busi- ness in which Negroes having these qualities may suceed, It is of- ‘ten said that what the Negro needs ‘is incentive, and example in his own group. -Poro College is refer- red to in this place solely because it is a conspicuous example of the business capacity of the Negro. | It is worth repetition that along with business success Mrs, Malone | has kept her ideals of truth, beau- ty and helpfulness, ‘HE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10 the War Labor Board, and Morris | ;yeuspssaeenenrsernercetenasaarpestisanis Ernest, of the prominent New York law firm of Greenbaum, Wolff ad KIDDIES’ Ernest, will assist him. “This, first ease to, be. decided 3 Aettots an encouraging pregeent hs iciandindaniatinisieeatsioct for the case of the porters,” said A.

GODFREY GRIFFIN DEAN PICKENS GIVES INSPIRING TALK TO STUDENTS “Years of culture in us are worth more than years of culture hebind ux” was: the keynote of the in- spirational talk given by William Pickens, Yale graduate, former dean of Talladega College, and present field secretary of the Na- tional Association for the Advance. ment of Colored People at the gen- eral assembly on October 13” at Armstrong High School. Mr. Pickens impressed upon the pupils the fact that we can rise to whatever heights we will through dogged persistence.
