SAMU WELL-KNOWN AND FEDERA DIES; ILL WELL-KNOWN ATTORNEY AND FEDERAL EMPLOYEE DIES; ILL SHORT TIME Attorney Samuel B. Hill, 2017 Fifth Street, Northwest, clerk in the federal government service, died Thursday at 5:30 p.m. He was suddenly stricken with apoplexy Thursday morning, January 13, at 7:30, in his home. He was sitting at his desk, conversing with one of his law clients, when he fell over unconscious. He was kept at his home until 3 p.m., Thursday, at which time he was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where physicians pronounced his condition as critical. He was born in Washington 42 years ago, and has been in the government service for over 20 years. Beside practicing law, and working in the government service, Mr. Hill is also Grand Secretary of the Masons of the District of Columbia, and a member of Acacia Grand Lodge. He was educated in the schools of the District of Columbia, and graduated from the Howard University law school in 1916. Attorney Hill is survived by his widow; a daughter, Grechen 13; five brothers, Daniel J., Chrales, John H., Leo P., of New York, and Joseph C., Hill of this city; and his mother, Mrs. Harriet Fairax, of Marietta, Pa. The funeral services will be held from McGuire's Funeral Home, Niuth and Westminster Streets, Monday, January 17, at 2 p.m., with Masonic rites. Mrs. Mildred Lewis, mother of Mrs. Natalie Lewis-Hill, wife of the attorney, is seriously ill at the same address. Mrs. Lewis has been a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia for over 30 years. En route to Jacksonville, Florida, January 11, at breakfast in the dining car, Mrs. Clarence Darrow, wife of Clarence Darrow, the widely known lawyer and humanitarian asked to be served. She was informed that the diner was filled with colored men. She replied, "It makes no difference to me if they can stand it." After breakfast, upon invitation, Mr. Darrow entered the Pullman occupied by the bishops and general officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Bishop E. D. W. Jones, on behalf of the board of bishops presented Mr. Darrow with a bunch of carnations which he graciously received. Mr. Darrow then repaired to the drawing room with the bishops and general officers where he discussed for two hours science, history, religion and the race question. Race Negligible Among other things he said that the scientists of the world are on the Negro's side, particularly in their declaration that there is no such thing as "race"; that color is n thing; it stands for nothing; it determines nothing. The conqueror of W. J. Bryan answered good naturally a volley of questions on scientific and religious matters fired at him by the bishops. Among the questions asked Mr. Darrow were these: Bishop W. J. Wails asked him whether he regarded religion as essential in the matter of regulating and stabilizing character. He replied that he would not deprive or take away religion from the Colored man, as it is his consolation. Dr. Jacobs asked Mr. Darrow if he could find more of his own race of the same opinion on human rights, to which he replied, "yes." In explanation of his attitude toward the race, Mr. Darrow said: "I owe it to my father who was a friend to John Brown and Frederick Douglass, and the most prominent abolitionists, all of whom frequently visited our home in my childhood. I heard," said he, "the tolling of the church bells in the town of Ashtabula, Ohio, on the day of John Brown's execution."

UEL ATTORNEY L EMPLOYEE SHORT TIME SENATE DELAYS INVESTIGATION OF FRANGHISE SENATE DELAYS INVESTIGATION OF FRANGHISE By Louis R. Lautier The Senate judiciary committee at its meeting last Monday took no action on the proposals to investigate either the alleged sale of Federal offices or disfranchisement in the South. It postponed consideration of these questions until next Monday because of other business upon which it had to act. At the meeting next Monday the subcommittee consisting of Senators George W. Norris, Republican, of Nebraska; Richard P. Ernst, Republican, of Kentucky, and William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, will make a favorable report on both proposals. This subcommittee, however, at its meeting January 6, decided to submit the question of whether the two proposed investigations should be combined or made separately to the full judiciary committee. In the meantime, Senators are analyzing the qualifications for voters and the election returns of the southern states. They do not believe that they will find any discrimination in the laws of southern states affecting the right of colored persons to vote in general elections. They think, however, that various subterfuges are resorted to, to circumvent the statutes. Southern Qualifications The qualifications for voting in the southern states are alike for both races. They include property ownership, ability to read and write,payment of a poll tax, good moral character, ability to read or interpret the Constitution and registration. In the northern states the qualifications are more liberal. (Continued on page 2) COOPERATION OF RACES PRAISED IN NASHVILLE NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 6. Reports of increasing interracial good will and of the steady improvement of conditions featured the annual meeting of the State Inter-racial Committee held here yesterday. Representative men and women to the number of seventy-five were present from all parts of the state. Without a dissenting voice they expressed gratification with the progress made and planned unity for the future. Especially striking were the reports of improved school facilities for Negroes, including the building of many new Rosenwald schools, stimulated largely through the efforts of Robert E. Clay, of Briston, secretary of the colored division. Two Groups United m as regula- He drive the sola-Dar- his on lied, tude said: as a rede- omi- frey my "the the the on." There was much favorable comment also on the fine co-operative spirit manifested in Nashville during the recent flood which drove some eight thousand people from their homes, many of them colored. It was brought out that the two groups had worked together in the utmost harmony for relief of the flood sufferers, and that the relief measures, for which $50,000 was contributed by the community, were carried out with scrupulous fairness. Among the recommendations made by the group was one suggesting to the city administration that in rehabilitating the flooded areas steps be taken to improve radically many of the housing conditions which the poorer colored families have had to tolerate. ```markdown ``` Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY Joint Commission Front Row (left to right)—Prof. Bishop A.

Lee and Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Bishop J. S. Caldwell of Philadelphia; Dr. J. W. Brown, and Dr. F. C. Jacobs of New York City and many others at the Union Station here. A pullman car, with a special diner attached, was secured for the transportation of the delegation from this section. NEGRO SELLS INVENTION TO ATWATER-KENT NEGRO SELLS INVENTION TO ATWATER-KENT LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 12, (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—One of the most outstanding contributions to radio science in the past year in the line of improvements, appears to be the invention of Ernest King, a resident of Los Angeles. The devise, an automatic control for radios, has been sold by Mr. King to the Atwater-Kent Corporation on a royalty basis. The control either turns on or turns off a radio any desired time of the day and also automatically selects the station that may be wanted. Mr. King is an automobile mechanic and has only worked on the radio control invention five months. He got the idea for an automatic invention when his own radio on several occasions remained turned on all night. Started With Alarm Clock The basis of his invention is an ordinary alarm clock which at first merely was used to turn on and off the household radio. The development of the station selection dial came as a second thought. A radio with this attachment can be set so that it will automatically be turned off with the signing off of the last station of the night and a sleeper will then be awakened early in the moring by the cheerful "good morning" of the announcer of the setting-up exercises. Millionaire Angel He had some difficulty in interesting manufacturers when they discovered that he was a Negro, but a Los Angelse' millionaire helped him put the deal through. Other than being an automobile mechanic, King was at one time a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. He recently drove a racing automobile in the championship races for Negroes, and at present is a member of the cast of "The River" a First National picture. Mr. King is in his ea ly thirties, is married and has two children. Millionaire Angel WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1927 GALA BANQUET HELD BY PRUDENTIAL BANK; BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS ELECTED The presentation of several skits featured the first annual dinner of the stockholders of the Prudential Bank, held in the dining room of the Whitelaw Hotel last Tuesday night. While John R. Hawkins, president of the bank, was in the midst of a solemn statement, three newsboys interrupted with cries of "Extra." After a grilling by Dr. Hawkins, it was decided that the boys should be put on trial for disturbing the peace. With Judge James A. Cobb presiding, Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, made out the case for the prosecution and demanded that the full penalty of the law be inflicted not only upon the boys, but also upon F. Morris Murray, publisher, who was responsible for the conduct of the boys. A plea for mercy for the defendants was made by Rev W. L. Washington. Robert A. Pelliam interrupted to admonish the judge: "Judge not lest he be also judged." The sentence of the court was that the papers be confiscated and distributed among the guests and that the boys partake of the dinner to their entire capacity. Mock Trial The extra paper contained a report of the action of the stockholders earlier in the day and of the service of the Prudential Bank had rendered the community. According to the "extra" the directors elected for this year John R. Hawkins, chairman; George A. Robinson, Dr. Peter W. Price, Dr. W. L. Board, Dr. A. M. Cursis, William H. Thompson, A. N. Scurlock, W. G. Pearson, F. Morris Murray, C. W. Bantcn, Garnet C. Wilkinson, Mortimer M. Harris, Dr. William H. Wilson, Judge James A. Cobb, George W. Robinson, L. Mendez King, E. S. Heyward, Dr. J. C. Dowling, Charles E. Mitchell, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, Allen F. Jackson, Louie A. Schneck, Thomas Walker, S. W. Rutherford and M. S. Koonce. This newspaper story of the election was verified by a report of the election tellers, which was made by Mortimer M. Harris. The directors were then introduced individually to the guests. Dr. Johnson Speaks Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, spoke. He declared that he has observed a change taking place in regard to Negro business, particularly the combining of capital for the purpose of utilizing Negro artisans. He gave as an example the little town from which he came. Some of the leading garage men there are colored, he said, and are doing and controlling a very large volume of business and maintain it against a like kind of business conducted by men of capital and experience. It appears, Dr. Johnson declared, "that the Negro is reaching a second epoch in his business development. The first was a period of accomplishing individual suc- (Continued on page 2) OSBORNE CASE IS CONTINUED, JUDGE IS ILL Trial of the Osborne divorce case will probably begin early next week. It was on the court calendar for trial last Monday but was continued on account of the illness of Justice Wendell P. Stafford before whom it will be heard. The case promises to be one of the most sensational of its kind ever heard in the equity division of the District Supreme Court. Mrs. Ruth A. Osborne, of 1902 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, is suing her husband, Jerome B. Osborne, of 766 Fairmont Street, Northwest, for a limited divorce. She charges cruelty and desertion, aggravated by the presence of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Osborne, in the home of her and her husband while they were living together. Counter Charges In a cross-bill Mr. Osborne is asking for an absolute divorce. He charges his wife with misconduct. He names Benjamin B. Pinn, a real estate operator, of 712 Kenyon Street, Northwest, as the co-respondent. The couple was married in this city on June 25, 1920. They have one child, Gloria E. Osborne, aged 5 years. Mrs. Osborne was awarded temporary custody of Gloria by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy on November 27, 1925. Probable Witnesses Witnesses, who will probably testify include Dr. S. L. Carson, Dr. Hartford R. Burwell, Mrs. Helen E. Rogers, Oliver R. Rogers, Mrs. Cora Williams, William Williams and John E. Harris. Mrs. Osborne is represented by Attorneys Bertrand Emerson, Jr., and Raymond Neudecker. Mr. Osborne is represented by Attorneys Lambert, Yeatman and Canfield. Mr. Pinn is represented by Judge Daniel Thew Wright and Philip Erschler. Mrs. Osborne is a clerk in the Navy Department. Mr. Osborne is a clerk in the Veterans Bureau. CHIROPRACTORS TO RECEIVE LICENSE The Washington City Chiropractors' Association will hold its next regular monthly meeting, Wednesday, January 19, at 8 p.m., in the room of the Central Chiropractic College, 1914 Seventh Street, Northwest. Several important matters will be introduced for discussion and consideration. The question of licensing chiropractors in the District of Columbia will be fully explained to the association.

Carter, Louis Foulon, Logan Johnson, William H. Jackson, Charles H. Ivan, John H. Simms, and W. S. Jackson. MRS. M. A. BOOKER, PIONEER, BURIED LAST WEDNESDAY The funeral services of Mrs. Margaret Ann Booker, called by the family "Mother's Coronation Day"—were held, Wednesday, January 12, 1927, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. It will be remembered that the Booker family conducted a watch and jewelry shop on Seventh Street Northwest, for forty years. They were among the pioneers of Negro business enterprises, in northern Seventh Street. Shops were maintained at different times at 1710 7th Street, 1740 7th Street, 1832 7th Street, 2032 Georgia Avenue, and back again at 1832 7th Street. On May 10, 1921, premises at 1832 were sold, and because of high rentals, and her advancing age, Mrs. Booker gave up the shop, and spent the last years of her life in peace, far removed from the wor- (Continued on page 2) --- ASON, QUALIFICATION MAY BE IN BY BOARD O QUALIFICATIONS OF PERRY MAY BE INVESTIGATED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION NEGROES OWN ENAMEL PLANT IN NEW JERSEY NEGROES OWN ENAMEL PLANT IN NEW JERSEY (Department of Labor Release) "Palmyra, N. J., is justly proud of an enameling plant operated and owned by Negro experts and skilled and unskilled workers. The plant, which was put into operation about four years ago, by a corporation whose capital stock at that time amounted to $125,000, is progressing in quality and quantity of output. Conviently situated on its own unencumbered land, the dimensions of which are 150 feet by 200 feet, the enameling factory runs parallel to the Pennsylvania Railroad, whose side tracks and spurs carry the outgoing shipments of enamel signs, designed, alloyed manufactured, and shipped by a complete force of Negro workers. The factory itself contains about 10,000 square feet of floor space, upon which are located such essential departments as stamping, pickling, dipping, spraying, drying, burning, stenciling, and shipping. Large Laboratory Advanced processes in the manufacture of enamel products are worked out in a well-equipped laboratory, where chemical and other experiments determine the fitness of the proposed product for manufacture and use. At present the plant is manufacturing enamel signs, only; but preparations are being made for the installation of a new furnace, specially adapted to the manufacture of kitchen utensils and varying types of enamel ware. The principal present market gateways for enamel products of the Palmyra factory are Wilmington, Delaware, and Philadelphia, Pa. At Philadelphia a sales force of approximately 25 persons carry on wholesale and retail distribution of the enamel signs, many of which are disposed of to transportation lines. Orders have been filled from as far as Porto Rico. $15,000 Furnace A thirty-ton gas and oil fired enameling furnace, valued at $15,000, and capable of producing a temperature of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, is the principal implement of value at the plant. This furnace is said to produce an enamel sign that is virtually indestructable. Tweney-five Negro experts, employed at the plant, have been carefully selected and trained, each being an adept at his particular occupation. In its entirety this industry, strategically located, well manned, and efficiently progressive, is filling a peculiar need. In addition, it demonstrates industrial efficiency as well as the stability and adaptability of Negro workers engaged in one of the country's necessary industries. GEORGE S. DAVIS DISMISSED FROM POLICE FORCE George S. Davis, policeman, who is charged with the murder of Mrs. Desdemona Barnett Dudley, wife of S. H. Dudley, prominent theatre owner, last September, was dropped from the Metropolitan force Tuesday by the District Commissioners. Davis was dismissed "for the good of the service" on the recommendation of the police trial board. The board did not attempt to try Davia on the murder charge but confined its inquiry to investigation of his self-inflicted wound which followed the alleged shooting of Mrs. Dudley.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS DEAD NS OF PERRY INVESTIGATED OF EDUCATION The Board of Education will probably be asked to inquire into charges that L. L. Perry, supervising principal of the twelfth division of the public schools, is not qualified to do the work of his office. Notice that the board would be asked to delive into the fitness of Mr. Perry was given at a meeting of the board on January 5 when Zeph P. Moore, an attorney, asked the privilege of examining the record, recommendations and credentials of Mr. Perry relating to his appointment as supervising principal. Mr. Perry is one of those charged with responsibility for the transfer of Nathaniel L. Guy from teacher of oral expression and dramatics in the public schools to teacher of incorrigible boys in the Summer-Magruder school. Mr. Guy resigned when the superintendent, Frank W. Ballou, recommended this transfer. Mr. Guy asked Mr. Perry for a rating of "ominently successful" instead of "excellent," as his work was being graded. This higher rating was refused him. He appealed to First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, who held that he was entitled to the higher rating. Through Miss M. E. Gibbs, administrative principal of the Stevens School, Mr. Perry is said to have had charges preferred against Mr. Guy alleging that he failed to teach the first eleven days of the school term. Rev. F. I. A. Bennett got Superintendent Ballou to hear the charges. Mr. Ballou did not like the attitude of Mr. Guy and decided to recommend his transfer. Attorney Moore wrote to the board of education to the effect that a group of citizens interested in the welfare of the schools are in possession of information that Mr. Perry is not qualified to fill the position of supervising principal. Mr. Moore charged that Mr. Perry is temperamentally unfit, has not had sufficient experience in school management, is not in sympathy with the teachers under his supervision, is unable to preserve discipline without friction, is incapable of making constructive criticisms and is not acquainted with the subject matter of the various activities under him. The record of Mr. Perry shows that he is a graduate of the old M Street High School and of the Miner Normal School. He did not attend college. His only other academic training was received by attending business night school one session. His experience was gained as a substitute teacher in the elementary and high schools, a teacher in the primary grades, a teacher in the night schools, a teacher in the ungraded and atypical classes, a teacher in the O Street Vocational School and as superintendent of the Industrial Home School for Colored Children of the District of Columbia at Blue Plains. FEDERAL LIFE HAS ELECTION OF OFFICERS The annual stockholders' meeting of the Federal Life Insurance Company of this city was held Tuesday, January 11. After the various officers made their reports, the annual election of officers and directors was held. The following were elected: Dr. Carroll A. Brooks, president; Jesse H. Foster, and Mrs. Minnie B. Smoot, vice-presidents; I. Cunningham, treasurer, and C. T. Taylor, secretary-manager. The directors are S. H. Dudley, J. M. Barnes, George W. Robinson, Peter W. Price, T. Edward Jones, and David H. Bruce. TWO PRUDENTIAL BANK HOLDS ELECTION AND BANQUET cess; the second is a combining of the experience and capital of these successful business men to create large institutions. He stated that he is proud to know that Howard University has the second largest deposit in the Prudential Bank. When co-operative organizations shall be undertaken on a large scale, he declared, the one thing that must be stressed is that honor or that would have a man feel that he would rather die than to take one penny from a poor person, who had entrusted his or her earnings to this individual. "Mammy's" Son The seriousness of the occasion was interrupted by an old Kentucky "mammy," who said she was looking for her prodigal son. She had seen his coming down the street with a bag under his arm, from which currency was bulging. When she was told that her son had been working and was on his way to the Prudential Bank to make a deposit, she left highly pleased. Morrisse Konee, properly disguised, impersonated the woman. One skit was so real that the redoubtable John R. Hawkins, Perry W. Howard and Mortimer M. Harris failed to see the joke. A real policeman entered and threatened to arrest every automobile owner present for parking his car wrong. He said that a Pierce-Arrow was blocking traffic. His authority was challenged, but he remained adamant and insisted upon making arrests. Mr. Hawkins in all seriousness offered to pay him $2 for every person present, but this failed to satisfy him. He finally retreated. His wife was later introduced as the largest depositor in the Prudential Bank of any member of a family of a policeman. Plenty of Music A vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Marie Snowden, a duet by Mrs. Snowden and Mrs. Bessie Mercer and a bass solo by Professor E. C. Broadnax. Music was furnished by Gertie Wells' orchestra. Cabaret entertainment was offered by Miss Aloncitca Johnson, accompanied by Douglass Fickling. She sang a number of popular selections. A hodge-podge selection of stereopticon slides were shown by Robert A. Pelham. This is the fourth year of the operation of the Prudential Bank. Its capital stock has increased from $34,038.90, in 1923, to $60,040.32, in December, 1926. During the same period its deposits have increased from $69,894.44 to $346,189.29, and its resources from $159,680.39 to $421,670.01. Its officers plan in 1927 to increase its deposits to $500,000 and its capital stock to $100,000. SENATE POSTPONES INVESTIGATION (Continued from page 1) It is in the application of these election laws that Senators believe disfranchisement is practiced. They are advised that registration officers arbitrarily refuse to permit colored persons to qualify to vote under the laws. The election reutrns show that in 1924 a total of 194,378 votes were cast for United States Senator in Alabama, although that state has a total of 568,886 citizens 21 years of age and over. A total of 154,560 votes elected Senator Tom Heflin. In Arkansas in 1924, only 125,562 votes were cast in the senatorial election. Senators Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic leader in the Senate, received 100,408 votes, which were more than enough to elect. Arkansas has a total of 448,497 citizens 21 years of age and over. Other States In 1922 Senator Park Trammell was elected in Florida. He received a total vote in the general election of 45,707. The total vote cast for United States Senator was only 51,946. Florida has a total of 262,751 citizens 21 years of age and over. In Georgia in 1926 Senator Walter F. George was elected by a total of 47,366 votes. He was unopposed in the general election. Georgia has a total of 707,198 citizens 21 years of age and over. In Louisiana in 1926 Senator Edwin S. Broussard was elected by a total vote 54,180. He was unopposed.

Barred From Primaries In each of these southern states the colored voter is not permitted to participate in the primary. The Democratic state executive committee makes the rules governing the primaries in these states. One of these rules is that only white persons shall be permitted to vote. The general election is only a ratification of the results for the primary. These facts regarding the election laws and returns of the southern states are causing the Republican members of the judiciary committee to insist upon an investigation of disfranchisement in the South. A record vote on the question will be demanded in the judiciary committee meeting. Resolutions for the investigation of the alleged sale of Federal offices were introduced by Senators William J. Harris, Democrat, of Georgia, and William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. Senator Ernst has insisted that the scope of this proposed investigation be widened to include any inquiry into disfranchisement. ries of watches running too fast, broken jewels, bent pivots, broken mainsprings and balance staffs and the thousand other things that prevent your watch from functioning properly.

She was here surrounded by her children and grandchildren—the most beautiful setting for the end of a noble and scarcifical life. "Mother's Coronation Day" began with the singing of "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." Prayer was offered by Rev. I. N. Gooch, pastor of Morning Bright Church. A communication of condolence from the Queen Deborah Household of Ruth, No. 23, G. U. O. of O. F., was read by its worthy recorder, Mrs. Jennie V. Gaskins, in which it was stated that Mrs. Booker had been a member for 39 years. After singing "Trusting Jesus," the culogy was delivered by Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, in his usual scholarly and masterly way. He based his discourse on the words of the Apostle Paul to Timothy, as found in 2nd Timothy, 4:7, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Among other things he said that the Christian life was a struggle, a warfare; and that the reward for successfully finishing the course was a crown of righteousness. He spoke of mother's influence in the home; and that due to such training and influence the son of this mother was not only a Christian, but a minister of the gospel. The visiting pastors on the platform were Dr. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church; Dr. J. I. Loving, secretary of Baptist Ministers' Conference of D.C. and Vicinity; Rev. E. T. Lewis, pastor Trinity Baptist Church; Rev. I. N. Gooch, and Rev. B. N. Brown. Each one spoke briefly, giving expressions of sympathy to the family. The congregation sang "Saviour More Than Life to Me." The Queen Deborah Household of Ruth, No. 23, of the G. U. O. of O. F., performed its burial ceremony. The casket was opened, and the remains viewed. The ceremonies were concluded in the Harmony Cemetery, where "the earthly tabernacle" was deposited in the family lot. Rev. George A.

OSTEOPATHY IS OSTEOPATHY IS NOT CHIROPRACTIC Editor, The Washington Tribune: Dear Sir: Will you please permit me, through the medium of your columns, on behalf of the graduates and students of the District of Columbia College of Osteopathy, to correct a certain misleading statement which is being persistently circulated by certain individuals, to the effect that osteopathy is a branch of chiropractic. While it is not our place, nor is it our desire to criticise or enter into controversy with any other system or method of healing, we do deem it our rights to challenge the spread of any misleading impression of our chosen profession It has been continuously brought to my attention that practitioners of the chiropractic profession have been, and are giving to the public the statement that osteopathy is only an off-shoot, or branch of chiropractic. Some have also that that osteopathy and chiropractic are identical. Others have gone the length of confronting graduates of the District of Columbia College of Osteopathy that they are practicing chiropractic under another name. Mr. Editor, I submit that such is an unwarranted meddling with a profession that is concerned about its own business. The tragedy is that these geography have not studied osteopathy in order to know what the principles, technique and practice of osteopathy consist of. Furthermore, they do not seem to know the origin of their own profession. It is either that they have never been taught or that they have been lopelessly misinformed on the subject. The writer graduated from an osteopathic school 20 years ago and has been continuously practicing osteopathy since then. He practiced in two foreign countries and has been practicing in the District of Columbia for nearly eleven years. He practices osteopathy as taught by an osteopathic college, and has been immensely successful. He knows the origin and methods of chiropractic. He has never in all the 20 years of his practice employed a single chiropractic method. He is quite prepared to prove to any one that osteopathy and chiropractic are not identical. The course of study, the principles, technique and practice of osteopathy are radically different from those of chiropractic. As osteopathy being an off-shoot, or branch of chiropractic, the dates of discovery will suggest the probable off-shoot. Whereas, osteopathy was discovered by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, of Kirksville, Missouri, on June 22, 1874, chiropractic was discovered by Dr. D. D. Palmer, of Davenport, Iowa, in 1895, twenty-one years after osteopathy was discovered, and three years after the American School of Osteopathy, in Kirksville, received its charter to teach osteopathy, which was in 1892. Permit me to further say that osteopathic physicians never need to, and do not at any time use chiropractic methods. There are eight osteopathic colleges situated in different parts of the United States, and one in London, England. The District of THE Columbia College of Osteopathy is the youngest and smallest. Yet like all other osteopathic colleges, it gives a four year course of instruction of nine months in each year. Its entrance requirement is a four-year high school education. Its curriculum covers all the subjects taught in a regular medical college, except materia medica, pharmacology, medical zoology and the practice of medicine. For these are substituted the principles of osteopathy, osteopathic mechanics, osteopathic diagnosis, and practice of osteopathy. The graduate of an osteopathic college is a physician in the legal and general sense of the term.

LNG ```markdown ``` SOCIETY and Club KRIGWAS CLUB TO PRESENT THREE PLAYS By Vivian Turner Here we are again—a group of Washingtonians, a group of race lovers, a group of men and women interested in literature written by members of the race, trying to appeal to the populace of Washington, to become more acquainted with what our young writers are doing and to encourage and sponsor talent which is near and dear to us, with whom we are in daily contact. We are the Krigwa Players, a dramatic club, affiliated with the Krigwa Players of New York. Amateurs—yes, but we hope to bring to Washington's social set another avenue of enjoyment; something just a little different—the commercial element being entirely overlooked—the desire to portray Negro life as written by Negro writers, being the sole aim of the organization. The Krigwas will make their debut on February 3, at Dunbarn High School, with three one-act plays. The first play, "Compromise," by Willis Richardson, was published in Alan Locke's, "New Negro," and played by the New York Krigwa Players at their opening last season. The five players to take part in the play are, Narka Lee Rayford, Samuel M. H. Papel, Vivian Turner, Bernard W. Pryor and Elinor V. Robinson. The second play, "the Maker of Dreams," by Oliphant Downs, was last played here by the Howard Players of Howard University, with Jennings Newsome featured. The players are, Costuma Green E. Robinson and Jennings Newsome. The third play, "The House of Sham," by Willis Richardson, is a criticism of upper class Negro life in the city. This will be its premiere. The players are Edward B. Saunders, Lillian Clarke, Kathleen Bingham, Costume Green, Elinor V. Robinson, Jennings Newsome and Leander J. Hill.

Sciatica Pain and Misery Relieved Quickly ALMOST LIKE MAGIC You can banish almost instantly the sharp, shooting pains and dull aches of Sciatica, Neuralgia and other Rheumatic troubles with Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. The moment this famous, old reliable plaster is applied over the aching part it brings a feeling of blessed relief—it warms, soothes and quiets the throbbing nerves and drives away the pain and misery almost at once. You get not only amazingly quick results, from using Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster, but you get lasting relief also because the medication in a Red Cross Kidney Plaster is continually being absorbed through the skin into the affected parts as long as the plaster remains on the body. This is the simplest as well as the surest method to relieve pain. Be sure to ask for the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drug stores...adv. John F.

What for 64 years has been a mystery. tury, A shadow, filkering through a glass darkly; Now friends, she knows NOT in part, the knowledge With which, we who are here, must be content; But she knows all—the perfected. All, all, even as she is known. All quiet, stillness and peace pervaded. Like a newly christened queen of the sea from dock. the sea from dock, Into the larger life, the complete; The life that Jesus leads into, And in no uncertain terms declared: "I am the way, truth and life." "I am resurrection and life." "I am living water"—"true vine." "I am the good Shepherd"—"the Messiah." "I am Son of Man"—"Son of God," The eternal hope of the world. Father, we are all thy children, Weak, humble, submissive before Thee; Yet strong and powerful at times, And able to do great things in Thy Son, Jesus' name. The mystery that we face today Is assigned by Thee to all. We cannot fathom it, Our ignorance is perfect, but to Thee. O, God, it is child-like language. We know that thi sthing is done with Thy knowledge. We know that this thing is done with Thy permission. We know that it is in Thy divine plan, For "All things work together for good To them that love the Lord." We know mother made the trip With royal dignity and poise; For she's gone home to Jesus, Her Jesus, her Saviour, her Lord, her friend And this is the supreme Desire and wish and prayer Of every true-born, blood-washed Soldier of the cross—follower of the Lamb. Rejoice, therefore, friends; be glad; For the crown of righteousness is hers. The knowledge, the possession, the experience Of God in the life are culminated for her In one grand, glorious, eternal, Everlasting joy and peace. For today Is Mother's Coronation Day in glory land.

Howard's Second Team Enters Here Coach Burr sent in his second string team, but they could do no better. They allowed a visiting field goal and garnered none in return. Time was called out. In a prolonged argument at the scorer's table, Spears was put out of the game. Following Coates' basket from midfloor and Washington's two successful foul attempts concluded the Howard scoring. Pinky Clarke scored for the visitors just prior to the final whistle. The game was marred by lack of cordiality displayed by a number of University students. On several occasions Morgan players were held in the crowd while the game was in progress. Wheatley and Jones were actually held by their arms and prevented from participation while their teammates battled against the local odds. While neither visitor was kept out of the play any great length of time, nevertheless, it was a disgrace and since no doubt the offending individuals could be identified some action by the Blue and White authorities should be taken to prevent a repitition. Freshmen Win Prelim In the warming-up tilt the Washington Scholastics succumbed to the attack of the Howard Freshmen 23-27. Cooper's 5 field goals figured greatly in the Plebe victory.

Headed by Lanky Jones—who, by the way, can do as much with a basketball as Dr. Smith can do with indigestion—the 1926 collegiate champs showed that they have lost none of their old-time skill. Playing according to Drew's theories, the Morgan boys appeared to be as good, if not better, than last year. The entire 1926 combination is back with the exception of Ike Young now at Lincoln University. His place is very capably filled by Cutie Brown, formerly a star on Douglass High School, the Baltimore Scholastic, and the Hampton Institute quints. Though small in stature, Brown fits in very nicely with the stellar Wheatley. Morgan Scores First The contest was less than 50 seconds old when Jones broke away and caged a neat one-hand shot over Captain Spears' head. Brown's shot from long range a little later brought the Morgan total to 4 points. Spears' two field goals in quick succession were the first scores for the home team, and tied the affair. From that point the battle was fought on even terms, the Blue and White team standing off each invading basket by matching it. The first half ended, Howard 13, Morgan 13. Brown was disqualified on 4 personal fouls just after the beginning of the second period. Simpson, who was the victim of this violation, missed the attempt, the eighth failure in ten Howard tries from the 15-foot mark, to this point. Exhibiting a series of tap plays the Bears ran up a 5-point advantage, placing themselves on the Fans Unfair Freshmen Win Prelim THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JANUARY 14, 1927 SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor POPULAR BASKETEER A "DICK" GRAVES Richard (Dick) Graves, the Alco assistant coach-player is a guard of no mean ability. For some time Graves has been rated very high in the ranking of guards. There are a number of persons who think despite Graves' approaching stage of inactivity that the Purple and White "Red Grange" is in a class by himself. One of the best men for guarding two opponents who can be found, Dick can also be depended on in an offensive pinch. A steady player, a studious coach, and a hard worker at all times, the former Alco captain would be an asset to any team. YELLOWJACKETS SET SCORING RECORD The LeRover A.C. basketball team went down in defeat before the Community A.A. Yellowjackets, who amassed a record total of points in a game for the season in a Y.M.C.A. Senior League clash, last Monday night, 78-17. Using two distinct teams, one in each half, the amateur champions uncovered almost a field-goal-a-minute average. Scoring 39 baskets in 40 minutes the Yellowjackets ran one loop short of equalling an 80-point attack for 40 minutes. The first half with Ellis, Neale, Frazier, Walker, and Marshall in for-Community ended 25-10. The Orange and Black machine came back in the second period with Givens, Lacy, Thomas, Johnson, and Lee to count 26 field-goals in 20 minutes. During this half the league leaders scored 53 points to 7 for the LeRovers. In the last three games Community has played, she has scored 144 points.

Nine teams, with a total of about seventy-five players, participated in five of the most interesting series of games ever witnessed at Talladega College. The sophomores' defeat administered by the freshmen in the afternoon and the close score to which the high school team hold the varsity team in the evening presented the thrills of the day for the enthusiastic rooters who packed the men's gymnasium. These games "pulled off the lid" for basketball between the classes at Talladega College, and set in motion for inter-collegiate competition the three teams representing the varsity, for men and women, and the newly organized team for the high school. THE REFLECTOR By Sam Lacy I am The Public. Though I am made up of two parts—the basketball and the non-basketball—I refer to myself in this instance only as representing the former, or those who are interested in, and attend the basketball games held here during the winter. My body is not single. It is a compound body composed of various species; namely, the cash-customer, the gate crasher, the reporter, the advertising agent, and the "freeby" rooter. Within me are varying moods, but only one desire, to have things my way. I must be pleased. There is nothing hard about the task of pleasing me. Look at Job. Job had boils and he bore with them. Basketball has only a few hundred ideals to live up to, each one different from the other. If an effort to live up to them is made, Basketball will come out on top (of the junk pile). I demand that the referee help the home team win, but I also demand that the visitors be given fair play. I boo and jeer the Alco who is banished for poor sportsmanship, but I resent any request the official makes to hinder my hooting and howling at the visiting Buccaneer who is attempting a free toss at a crucial moment. I like nothing better than roughness, but I want to see a clean game. What reason can a father offer for not wanting his daughter to attend a game where my "good-fellow" with his hat on blows smoke in her face? Why would a mother object to her son's being in an audience where my women and children smoke to their heart's content? When the visiting team wins, I consider them robbed, and when the local team is victorious in my opinion the official is a "homer." There is no justice when I am asked not to hoot and jeer at a visiting player, but it is perfectly legitimate for the referee to disqualify a player on a display of bad sportsmanship. What care I for Rule 6, Section 7, of the Official Basketball Rules which state "Either the referee or umpire shall have the power to call fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of players or spectators"? Enforce it where the players are concerned, but ignore the rule when I choose to violate it. Despite the fact that Rule 14, Section 7, provides that, "A free throw shall be awarded for any attempt to disconcert the player who is shooting a foul," I shall do so if I wish and defy any official request that I cease. I am The Public. If my varying moods are not pleased, the evening is a failure; and if in any conceivable way I can be satisfied Basketball is doomed. EASTERN BASEBALL MAGNETS AT DETROIT Penalty of Five-Year Suspension to Stand for Players Jumping the Organized Ranks DETROIT, Mich. — The first surprise of the baseball conclave, which was held here occurred and was unfolded long ere the bosses gathered in this city. Along with Colonel Strothers, the Harrisburg owner; Hammond Daniel, the president of the Bacharach Giants, and Chairman Ed. Bolden, who is also president of the Hildale Club; Jim Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants, who a month prior had quit the league flat, was headed for the conclave. Summing up the situation relative to the appearance of the Lincoln Giants' mentor, the ultimate conclusion is that "orator James" has rescinded his decision to bolt the ranks and will bend his efforts toward shaping the Eastern loop, George Rossiter, the Baltimore owner boarded the train at Wye Junction, while Alenjandro Pompez and Nat. Strong cut across from New York and joined the mugls at Botheleh, Pa. Rousing Welcome Given Guests Before the party of Eastern baseball men had shook the sleep from their eyes Tuesday morning, the train rolled into this town 6:15. However, the silence sign in the Pullman corridor was strictly observed for at least an hour. The responsibility of being the host, had the Western officials stirring and on the job early. Quiney Gilmore, the rollicking one from Kansas City, and demon secretary of the Western works, and Doctor G. Bernard Keys, the St. Louis physician and vice-president of the National League headed a reception committee that piloted the visitors to hotels and later to the Y. M. C. A. building where the leagues will convene. New Leader For Eastern League Each league held its annual meeting separately on Tuesday, Heartkening to the constructive criticism that has been advocated by several of our leading papers and sensing that a revision of affairs is necessary, the commissioners have decided to fill the vacant post of president. While to some it may be news, the Eastern circuit has never had a president. This chief executive had been omitted for obvious reasons and while Ed. Bolden has been censored for many things, his post of chairman of the board has actually carried no more weight than any of his fellow commissioners. The owners realized it would be a mistake to name one of them as president, but knowing that experience meant everything, the owners elected to guide their destinies until such time as they felt that the organization had gained impetus enough to interest the right man. The names of several prominent men have been linked with this post: Dr. G. A. Robbins, of Baltimore: Lawyer Isaac Nutter, of Atlantic City; Magistrate E. Henry of Philadelphia, and Boxing Commissioner Charles Fred White By Lloyd P. Thompson With the incapacitation of former President Rube Foster, Dr. Keys, the vice-president, stepped into the breach and was in the gavel post at the joint session. The St. Louis Doctor, while having deep appreciation for the baseball genius of his former leader, has never coincided with the Foster regime and a new "order of the day" may be looked for. Five-Year Ban to Continue Whatever changes, thenapired the moguls, to a man, voted to continue the five-year suspension penalty for jumping players. With the Homestead Grays, the only independent club in sight able to pay salaries, the bolting players will do well to size up the situation. ALCOES LOSE TWO ON ROAD Wissahickon Speed Marvels Take Hard Game PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 6.—The Washington Alco quint lost to the Speed Marvels of the Wissahickon Club here tonight by a 21-18 count. The Capital City team displayed a strong defense game, but its attack was not up to its usual standard. The whole team seemed off color when it came to shooting. Vandals in Shooting Mood ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Jan. 7. —The local Vandals displayed uncanny shooting ability to down the Alcoe Purple and White machine here tonight, 39-20. Showing the effects of little sleep and much time on the road, the District champs proved no match for the New Jerseyites who were caging baskets from all angles and distances of the court. Officiating in this game, the Alco manager comments, "was the best the local team has had away from home," since he has been in charge.

CARLISLES NOSED OUT BY BUCS CARLISLES NOSED OUT BY BUCS Wow! Folks, that was some red-hot affair at the Colonnade last Thursday night, when the Atlantic City Buccaneers just barely came out on top to defeat the local quint 26-25. A foul goal scored by Green one minute before play ceased was the margin of the visiting victory. This game, the first of a series of weekly tilts to be offered Washington fans, was a nip and tuck battle from the start. The home boys leading at the half, but nosed out in the stretch, made a valiant effort to stand off the intruders. With the New Jersey team leading 11-8 little Benny Hill caged a shot from a difficult angle, and then figured in a pass, Braddick to Bill to Braddick whose basket sent the Capital City quint ahead 12-11 just as the, whistle blew for intermission. Braddick Repeats Coming back for the second half Braddick repeated his feat of 10 minutes ago, when he registered the first score after the rest period. A few minutes later Hill and Davis came through with loopers from the floor to place the Black and White Checks on the long end of an 18 to 11 count. Immediately following the Davis field goal time was called out by the visitors to get themselves together. And what getting together it was, so much so that when play was resumed four Bucaneer baskets were scored in such rapid fire order that even the most casual spectator found himself leaning forward in his seat. By this time calls were coming from every corner of the hall, asking for the score. Someone, somewhere said, "19-18 favor Bucs." Simms Scores Simms, substituting for Henderson in the Carlisle line-up, broke the monotony of invading field goals by scoring a double-decker, but this 1-point local lead was shortlived. Wayman, took the tap from center, dribbled around the floor with Mike Jones at his heels, stopped short, caught the Carlisle guard off balance and shot a field goal which sent his team ahead by the same margin of 1 point. Wayman then fouled Jones whose successful free toss tied the score. A technical foul called on Captain Braddick at this point once more netted the visiting horde the advantage of a 1-point lead. Visitors Forge Ahead Green's field basket and Wayman's toss from the 15-foot mark sent the Atlantic Cityans ahead 25-21. Following Hill's double-decker, Braddick looped the tying score from past mid-floor. One quick glance at the casual spectators in the Carlisle time-out finds them no longer seated, but now leaning away over the balcony railing velling for more action. These mad fans, what more could they want? Action! and I referred to one, as a casual spectator, "Jumping catfishes!!" With one minute remaining to be played, Captain Braddick fouled Green as he broke away toward his basket, with the speed of greased lightning. The first of his 2 tries was missed, but before attempting his second throw, the visitors appealed to the referee to quiet the hooting, jeering mob. Threatening to call a technical foul on the home team, the referee was able, after some delay, to gain silence. Green's second try was successful, and this one gained the one-point margin of difference between the two teams.

Don't forget the midnight show every Friday night, and the barrel of fun, every Saturday night at 9 o'clock. Many valuable gifts are distributed with the barrel of fun feature. "TIN HATS" A POST-WAR ROMANCE AT THE REPUBLIC "Tin Hats," the romance of the Army of Occupation on the Rhine, will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, January 16, 17, 18.

The most heroic rescue ever screened makes this a great picture for the kiddies, as well as the grown-ups.

MADAME SUL-TE-WAN SIGNED BY COLUMBIA PRODUCTION HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 12 (Pacific Coast News Bureau) Madame Sul-te-Wan, the oldest Negro motion picture actress in point of service in Hollywood has just signed a contract for one picture with Columbia Productions. Madame Sul-te-Wan recently completed a very important part in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." THIS ACTOR SHOULD HAVE PRIZE FOR UNADULTER- ATED NERVE Gives Chief of Police Bad Check UNIVERSAL CITY, Cal., Jan. 12 (Pacific Coast News Bureau) -- Undoubtedly Fredrick Bailey is the "nerviest" actor who ever entered the studio gates at Universal City, lion tamers and stunt men included. Recently while working at the studio Bailey found himself without funds, so he wrote a check for one dollar, which was obligingly cashed for him by the Chief of Police of Universal City. The check, however, came back tagged "No account at this bank." Through the effects of Charles Butler of the Cinema Auxiliary Casting Office, the Chief received another dollar in cash and Bailey missed going to jail. WIFE ILL; CLARENCE BROOKS DELAYS RETURN TO MOTION PICTURE ACTING LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 12 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—So far Harry Gant (white) has not been able to start his motion picture production that will feature Clarence A. Brooks, former Lincoln star. Bad weather the first part of December, then the holidays, and now the illness of Clarence Brooks' wife are the reasons for the all-colored cast feature not being started. Brooks of course will be featured and now Harry Gant is dickering for the services of George Reed for the part of a grizzled miner. Reed is now at liberty having just finished a part with Johnnie Hines in the First National Production "All Aboard." ARNOLD'S T.O.B.A. WESTERN CIRCIT NEWS By W. R.

REPUBLIC THEATRE TIN HATS Talent at 7:30 and 9:30 SPORTS COMMUNITY WINS TWO IN ONE DAY Amateur Champs, Under Strain Win Over Scholastics After Downing Armstrong. Displaying a fast passing game, the Community Yellowjackets, District Amateur Champions, downed Armstrong in a 29-19 engagement last Thursday afternoon, before a large portion of the student body in the school gymnasium. The high school quint, under Coach Miller's teaching, showed a good defensive combination, but due to the fact that only Graham could be depended on for scoring, the Tech offense was smothered. Community played with a characteristic steadiness. Scoring 15 points in the first 20 minutes, and 14 in the second half against 10 and 9 points in rpective periods for Armstrong, the Orange and Black machine evidenced as well fensive game. balanced defensive as well as of- Line-up and summary: back-up and summary: **Com'unity fg f p** **Arm'rong fg f p** Lacy,lf .4 1 9 Graham,lf 5 13 3 Ellis,rf .2 2 6 Gr'nfield,rf 0 1 1 Givens,rf .1 0 2 Gregg,rf 0 0 0 Thomas,c .3 0 6 Wiggins,c .1 1 3 Johnson,lg 1 1 3 Jones,c .0 0 0 Lee,lg .1 0 1 Christ,lan,g 0 1 1 Walker,rg 0 0 0 Gray,rg .0 1 1 Frazier,rg 1 0 2 **Totals** .12 5 29 **Totals** 6 7 19 Referee: Westmoreland; 10 minute quarters. **Tackle Scholastics** With 40 minutes of intensive play already endured the Community A.A.

A scant few hours prior to this clash the amateur champs were pressed to penetrate the always strong defense of an Armstrong High School team and win 29-19. That the boys were playing under a strain could be seen in the slow, listless attitude they entered the tilt, which was the preliminary to the Carlisle-Bucaneer clash. Slim Thomas held to 3 baskets in the afternoon, found his shooting eye and garnered 8 field goals before the night's activities were over.

HAMPTON BEATS MINER NORMAL The fast Miner Normal quint lost a close 25-20 encounter to the Hampton Institute basketball team at Hampton last Saturday night. The passing and frequent outbursts of speed of the Washington five kept the Hampton guards busy. The star for the visitors could easily be named in Baltimore, who came in with eight points. Sellman, Normal's guard, was also troublesome at times, especially when he left his guard position and wandered up around the basket. Scoring, for the most part, was done in an alternate fashion, although Hampton rather held the lead throughout the game. The preliminary contest was played between two of the class teams. The academy seniors defeated the college yearlings in a fast game, 12-7. Music by the school orchestra, "The Hamptonians," added much life and pep for the onlookers.

GUY There have been many high handed acts of injustice and official tyranny committed in connection with the administration of the public schools of the District of Columbia. Some of them have been rectified by the courts; most of them have been beyond the reach of juridical remedy; others yet have been committed against persons wanting either in the spirit, or the material resources, to seek a remedy in the courts. The resignation of Mr. Nathaniel Guy from the public school system and the reasons stated in his letter of resignation serve to call attention to another of those constantly recurring acts which savor of injustice and abuse of power. Mr. Guy has given twenty-six years of his life to the public school system of the District. He is specially equipped and qualified to teach oral expression, and has taught the subject acceptably, receiving uniformly high ratings as an instructor. Recently he had occasion to complain of a rating that had been given to his work by supervising authorities, and on appeal to the first assistant superintendent of schools, Garnet C. Wilkinson, the rating was raised by that officer. The subordinate officers who had given the rating complained of, took the case to the superintendent of public schools, Frank W. Ballou, as it is understood, without the formality of an appeal from the decision of Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson. When the case reached Ballou, Mr. Guy—as he had a perfect right to do—stated to the superintendent his side of the case. He stated the case from his point of view, and, not unnaturally, with vigor and emphasis, as also was his right. Superintendent Ballou, became offended at Mr. Guy's direct and perspicuous form of statement, not at the substance of it, and in a fit of resentment demoted Mr. Guy and assigned him to work among delinquent and incorrigible boys. This work while not regarded as of a low grade, is known to be particularly disagreeable and wearing. It is a work which while perhaps necessary to the rounding out of the work of the schools, yet, is of a character that, except in the unthinkable case of an expressed desire and aptitude, should be assigned to no one person for an extended period of time. Mr. Guy had already served some years ago in that capacity, during which period as well as before and since he had qualified himself for the position he has lately filled with such credit to himself and value to his charges. It seemed the refinement of cruelty and flagrant injustice to re-assign him to that work. In his letter of resignation he says: "I know from twelve years of experience in it, that no man or woman should be compelled to labor in that type of work for a longer period of time because of its pernicious effect upon the nervous system," a statement with which all informed and fair-minded persons will agree. There are two or three phases of this high-handed exercise of power, or abuse of power, which all public spirited citizens should examine with the most painstaking care, because they are matters of public concern and interest. It will be noted that, according to either rating—that from which he appealed, or that which Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson gave him—Mr. Guy, was entitled to remain in the position of teacher of oral expression. Not only was he entitled to remain in that position, but the pupils in the system and the system itself were entitled to the benefit of his training and experience. In removing him, Superintendent Ballou committed two wrongs—he wronged Mr. Guy, and he did incalculable harm to the system and the children receiving the kind of instruction which Mr. Guy is qualified to give. Lastly, there is the question of Superintendent Ballou's resentment at the manner in which Mr. Guy presented his case, and the cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on that account. In all civilized proceedings where wrongs are sought to be righted, the aggrieved party is given the largest latitude both as to matter and manner in the presentation of his case, and Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIUNGE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 Stered as second class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 3, 1879 Subscription Rate: One Year, $2.50; Six Months, $1.25.

Owing to the history of the colored man in the United States, the spirit of caste and segregation of which he is the victim, and the superiority complex with which the white man is afflicted, any colored man who asserts his claims to just and fair human treatment in a direct and strait-forward way to a white person is regarded as being insolent, impertinent and "sassy." The habit of regarding a colored man as an inferior has become so fixed in most white men's minds that either consciously of unconsciously they resent any representation by a colored man on his own behalf, unless accompanied by servile and apologetic reservations, and containing, by implication some acknowledgment of the white man's asserted superiority. It is not conceivable in the premises that Superintendent Ballou would have treated any white instructor as he has treated Mr. Guy. It would be hard to imagine a case involving greater injustice than that presented by the case of Mr. Guy, and, in this connection, as a contrast we cite the case of the Eastern High School teacher against whom General Fries filed charges of bolshevistic influence. UNION OF THE COLORED METHODIST CHURCHES The union of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is a consummation devoutly to be desired. The matter of such union has been pending for more than a quarter of a century in one form or another. On its face, it looks like an easy matter to merge these two organizations, or, indeed, to effect a merger of the three larger separate Methodist organizations composed of colored communicants. There is no question of race involved, since there is homogeneity of race. All the constituent elements of the three organizations are kindred in blood; at least sociologically, they fall within the same classification. In the next place there are no theological or ritualistic differences which divide them. In the third place, whatever differences in polity, organization and administration exist are of a minor and unimportant character. There are, of course, property interests of considerable value to be taken into account; but the matter of transfer of title in the event of merger presents no difficulties. qualified he has hit to ages. It cruelly assign letter of from in it, old be type of time effect state and see. phases use of which should The advantages to be reaped from the union of these organizations are unquestioned. It is not within the province of a secular or layman's journal' to especially stress the spiritual side of the question. This lies within the province of the spiritual teachers, and, if they are true teachers of religion pure and undefiled, the spiritual benefits will outweigh all other considerations. From the layman's point of view, the matter of waste involved in the upkeep of three separate organizations when one compact, efficiently manned organization could do the work better and at less expense, and with fewer officers, has great weight. The commissioners of the A.M.E. and the A.M.E.Z. churches which met last week in this city took orderly and necessary steps which should eventuate in a plan of union to be presented to the general conferences of both churches which meet in 1928. The membership of both churches should take an intelligent and lively interest in this matter of union. It is a matter of prime importance to the lay member, and his voice should be heard in no uncertain tones on the side of union. A determined and persistent manifestation of concern in favor of union by the layman can not fail to hasten that most desirable result. Here is an excellent opportunity to test the sincerity of those who constantly talk about racial solidarity. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COLOR PREJUDICE afflicted civilized are arrived attitude inner in, and The first information given to the papers in the matter of the absence of Bishops George C. Clement, W. J. Walls and E. D. W. Jones from the banquet of the "Citizens' Committee of One Thousand for Law Enforcement Do men and women of affairs love music? We believe so. If one may chance to stop by the Washington Tribune's plant and see how busy the whole force is that works there, one would possibly surmise that there was very little thought of music. However, had an outsider attended a banquet in honor of the paper's anniversary some months since, and had seen this same group applauding vigorously the incidental music numbers on that occasion, their observation would have substantially proven the fact that men of affairs do love music. This is true in nearly all cases. We find again that physicians have great love for music. One of the sweetest violin players we have ever heard is a physician now practicing in Kansas City. The late Dr. Silas S. Thompson was always a student of music so great was his love for it. I feel safe in saying that most physicians love music next to their profession. Many clergymen are great lovers of music. Shea Whee, pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist Church is a fine example of a musical clergyman as is also the Rev. L. E. Keiser, pastor of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church. The Rev. W. A. Taylor has proven himself an excellent singer as well as choir leader in his church. The Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, lover of music, and he is giving his children a musical education which certainly is a wise step. The Rev. G. O. Bullock, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, also sets a good exend Baptist Church, loves musical education. Music in Homes No home should deprive its children of a musical education under competent teachers. A girl or boy without some musical training is like a ship without a rudder in this advanced radio age. Here is an important angle to music training and education. Parents and many teachers fail to stress the necessity of attending good musical concerts at every opportunity. Most music students feel that their study is ended with and Observance" was that these bishops had been told by Carlton M. Sherwood, executive secretary of the organization, that it would not be possible to admit them to the banquet hall, because the management of the Willard Hotel objected to their presence at the banquet. The Evening Star, of January 7, contained a statement from Frank F. Hight, managing director of the Willard Hotel to the effect that he "knew nothing about the situation at all, and had not been approached relative to the matter by either Mr. Sherwood or members of the local committee." The Star adds that Mr. Sherwood confirmed Mr. Hight's statement and said: "I had no information as to whether the management of the hotel had refused admittance." He did not deny, however, that he had told the bishops that the management of the hotel would not admit them to the banquet. In the premises, it looks as though Sherwood is irresponsible and untrustworthy as relates to truthful and veracious speaking. In the light of the facts as here set forth, any statement of fact made by Sherwood should be subjected to the strongest sort of corroboration either by persons of unquestioned veracity, or by circumstances. There was an equivocal statement from W. T. Galliher, chairman of the local committee, a former member of the board of education and a member of the Republican committee of the District of Columbia, to the effect that his committee "had not withdrawn the invitation extended the colored churchmen." It is to be observed that he says nothing about his committee being a party to the campaign of lying and pressure used to keep the colored churchmen from attending the banquet. As Bishops E. D. W. Jones very pertinently remarks: "We have very little confidence in the sincerity of a law enforcement movement that permits color to interfere with its functions."

Adams Music in Homes ```markdown ``` the recital hour—even some teachers have this idea. It is indeed an erroneous idea and shows lack of forethought. One should not expect music students to make much progress merely by hearing their own playing and that of their teachers. Yet many think that that is all that they need to do to succeed. The best teacher in the world can not develop scholarly musicianship in a pupil unless that pupil develops the habit of hearing worth while musicians and artists at public concerts. Even an artist may learn something of advantage by hearing others of his or her ilk. KIDDIES' CORN C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor MEMBERS OF T.P.C.C.

At last Lincoln re tary emancipation. was worked out in The only class of music some of these pupils ever hear between lessons is that of jazz and blues. Are they the best themes to stimulate a taste for real music or to develop musicianship? We must make it possible for our would-be musicians to hear something else worth while, something different from the usual low type of jazz and blues heard in so many homes. We must promote worth while concerts such as the Trouveres Trio of Philadelphia which will be presented at Armstrong on January 18. At this recital all music students will be admitted for twenty-five cents, and the adults who accompany them will be admitted for a similar fee. Why not grasp this opportunity, parents? Teachers, why not encourage your pupils to attend this recital? Why not attend it yourselves? It is the educational phase we are stressing and not the martenary end. We can not go to hear great white artists, so why not go and hear great colored artists and musicians? It is a paying proposition all the way round in a civic sense, because it develops local music pride; it develops symmetry in one's life, and it harmonizes the spiritual emotions with that of the baser material elements. Choir folks should learn the lesson of friendly co-operation with public musical movements and music teachers should be prime movers in these affairs. But, alas, we find opposite conclusions for no other reason than selfishness or pure lethargy. May not we all awaken to a better sense of musical appreciation and duty in this greatest of all civic opportunities and carry on the "gospel of music?"

Newman As I went to school this morning I realized, as seldom before, that we, the American Negroes are indeed fortunate, that as American citizens we are granted the privilege of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But whence cometh this blessing? Some of us do not realize that just a few years ago our fathers were subjected to involuntary servitude, and beaten—or sometimes killed—at the pleasure of their masters because of the texture of their skin. Against such abuses these memorable words of Garrison were published in the first edition of the "Liberator." "On this subject, I will not moderate. . . I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. . . I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard." Thus began the long struggle between abolishionists and slave holders which culminated in a civil war between the men of the North and the sons of Dixie on the 12th day of April, 1861, testing whether a nation based on free ideals and institutions should or should not permit slavery within its borders. Thus the inevitable of two centuries was a reality. The war must cease! But both sides contended that the main issue was not the cause of the war, and both sides knew that the ex- tinction of that institution would lessen the war by many days, probably months. Many means of emancipation were tried but passed into oblivion with little or no effect. At last Lincoln resorted to military emancipation. The first draft was worked out in the winter of 1862. The cries and sufferings of over two hundred and forty-three years of an enslaved people were at last to be rewarded by that proclamation, that freed them from the bonds of slavery. After the first victory of the army in the East, Lincoln on the first day of January 1863, issued that famous Emancipation Proclamation. "What I do about slavery I do because I think it helps to preserve the union." From that quotation of Lincoln, we glean the somewhat startling fact that the emancipation of the slaves was incidental. But after sixty-three years of race progress we see that it was done for the better part. Someone has classed the Negro as the eighth wonder of the world. It is no light matter to be such. But when we review and compare the almost unbelievable progress the Negro has made under the circumstances in the short time of sixty-three years—we marvel. We are apt to say that history repeats itself, but, never before has an achievement paralleled that of the Negro who rose from semicivilization (some were even without clothes to hide their nakedness) to world recognition. Someone has asked, should we rely. Let us make a grand and glorce celebrate our emancipation. Sureious "squawk" for the bigger and better Negro. WHY SHOULD WE CELEBRATE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION? By Florence A. Jones One of the most wonderful sets of laws governing a nation is the Constitution of the United States of America. This document saved a nation in a perilous period. A race in bondage was not benefited by this constitution and thereby suffered for seventy-five years after the ratification by the several states. Abraham Lincoln thought that slavery was a great moral, social, and political evil, and never hesitated to say so. All during the civil war, which was caused by slavery, union was Lincoln's highest ideal. Lincoln's fitting words at the moment were, "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves, I would do it. And if I could save it by freeing some of them, and leaving others alone, I would do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race I do because I believe it helps to save the union; and what I forebear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the union." Lincoln published the warning announcement September 22, 1862 and on New Year's Day, 1863, issued the famous Emancipation Proclamation. This proclamation designated the states and parts of the states in which the rebellion against the authority and government of the United States then existed, and declaring by virtue of the powder vested in him as the Chief Executive, that "all persons held as slaves within said designated states and parts of states are, and henceforth shall be free." This immortal proclamation is one of the milestones of universal history. It declared the liberation of three and a half million slaves. It changed the standing of Negroes from that of persons who could be bought and sold to that of men and women endorsed with a constitutional right. From then Negroes had a privilege to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." They could work freely like other human beings, for those whom they chose under conditions to which they agreed. This proclamation written and issued by man was the work of God. For many dark years, slaves prayed and sighed for freedom. Their earnest prayers reached heaven; God received them and in due time answered. The Lord moyes in mysterious ways, great miracles to perform. The Emancipation Proclamation of which every Negro is proud, was issued by Abraham Lincoln, "a father of many." May we as the colored race, forever hold his name above all other white men's and keep his proclamation sacred through generations to come. *The third prize was divided between Florence A. Jones and Wm. F. Newman. BOY SCOUT EXECUTIVE MEETING BUILD On December 28, an executive meeting of the Boy Scouts was held with the president, W. L. Tanell, presiding.
