Ten-Day-Old Baby Abandoned in Lonely Alley To Ten-D Several important problems will come before the Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church at the special meeting to be held here next Thursday. Among them will be the working out of details for the organic union of the Methodist churches, and the forming of plans and policies for the joint meeting of bishops of all denominations in Pittsburgh, June 15. President King's Idea He advocated complete severance from all foreign ecclesiastical control. Mrs. Ethel Fitzhugh Norman, wife of the former pastor was made chief beneficiary in the will. She is also sole executrix, saving without bond. The sum of $3.0 was bequeathed to the nurse of Reverend Norman, Miss Lenora Ruffin. Reverend Norman's estate, according to the will, includes his house at 1933 Thirteenth street, northwest, household effect, lots in New York, and money in bank, side life insurance. The value of these properties was not stated. FIRST in Advertising and Circulation HEADS OF ZION CHURCH WILL MEET THURSDAY The exclusion of all missionaries from Liberia, which has been ordered by President King, will also come up for discussion. The Zion church maintains a mission school at Mt. Coffee, Liberia, and have several workers in that republic. This action is necessary because of the statement in President King's message to his countrymen to the effect that foreign support and control of religious organizations in Liberia must stop. Continuing President King said: "Every nation like every individual, must know God for itself and not for another. As a people we Liberians are most appreciative of the religious guidance and assistance we have received in the past from our foreign spiritual directors and teachers, and recognize the immeasurable benefits which have accrued to us therefrom, but nevertheless, we hear the deep, loud and reverberating sounds of the great bell of time announcing th; fact that the hour has arrived for Liberia's spiritual freedom and religious independence." Another African problem will face the bishops and that is, the raising of the standards of missionary schools in the British Gold Coast. The British government has recently raised the standards of all government schools and have asked that all missionary schools be raised to the same standards. Election of Delegates The bishops will take up the task of setting in motion, the machinery for the election of delegates to the next general conference which meets in St. Louis in May, 1928. According to the rules of the church, all of these delegates must be elected by January 1, 1928. Another problem the bishops will pass on is whether Bishop George C. C. Clement, who has been representing his church on the Committee of One Thousand for Law Enforcement, and who refused to attend any of the sessions of that body because of racial discrimination, will be asked to withdraw his membership from the Committee of One Thousand. This incident of the bishop being jim-crowded occurred here at the Willard Hotel three weeks ago. Because of the many important problems to come up at the Thursday meeting, a full attendance of bishops is expected. Many of the leading officers, clergymen and laymen will also attend. REV. NORMAN'S WILL IS FILED; WIFE EXECUTRIX The last will and testament of Rev. M. W. D. Norman, late pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church who died December 26, was filed at the office of the District Register of Wills through Attorney Zeph Moore. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains.

Davis, while serving a term for robbery in the Santiago De Cuba prison, was assistant executioner until his recent release. It fell his duty to inflict the tortuous death still practiced in the executions in Cuba. Now that the authorities have denied his claim of British citizenship, and since he is not a naturalized American, though he has served in the American Army, he is virtually a "man without a country," whose probable thoughts at this moment are: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead. Who nee'r to himself hath said— This is my own, my native land." HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER STRIKES MAN; FLEES HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER STRIKES MAN; FLEES On Tuesday, Henry Cravens, 54, 1920 9th street, northwest, was knocked down by a Buick roadster while walking west on T street, crossing Vermont avenue. The ar, which was occupied by three colored men, failed to stop, but continued south on Vermont avenue. Cravens was taken to Freedmen's Hospital by a passing autoiset and was treated for lacerations under the left eye, and an injury to his left shoulder. He was not seriously injured, however. The accident was witnessed by John Thurston, 1704 Vermont avenue, northwest, Claud Burns, 1518 Ninth street, Harry Ellis, 1911 Ninth street, and R. Middleton, 1429 T street, northwest. AIKEN GRAND JURY IS TOLD "TIME FOR WORDS IS PAST"-JUDGE JOHNSON REPORTED THAT MRS. SAVOY IS NEGRO IS PORO GIVEN A DIVORCE CO-RECEIVER AT FAIRFAX, VA. AIKEN, S.C.—Judge J. Henry Johnson, presiding at the Aiken grand jury before which will be laid the Lowman lynching case for the fourth time, demanded action of the jurors, Monday, January 4. "The time for words is past," he declared. "It is time for action; say you propose to bring the lynchers to justice, or say that you don't propose to do anything. And God help Aiken county and South Carolina if you fail to do something." The judge denounced the Lowman lynching as "deliberate, wilful, cowardly murder." A further lecture was given the jury when court was opened at 10 o'clock and five jurors were absent. Addresses Jury "Gentlemen," said Judge Johnson, "this is the first time in my four years on the bench that I have opened court and found as many St. LOUIS, Mo.-Citizens of St. Louis have sent a number of requests to Judge Hartmann, in whose court the hearing will be held on the petition of Aaron E. Malone to have Poro. College placed in the hands of receivers, and the co-partnership which he claims exists between him and his wife, Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnibo-Malone dissolved and the assets divided equally between them, asking the court to appoint a Negro as co-receiver of the million-dollar institution. According to the St. Louis Argus, Judge Hartmann has decided to appoint S. E. Garner of the local colored bar, attorney for receiver in the case. No verification of this fact has as yet been received. Mistrust Whites The request for a colored co-receiver, it is claimed, was urged by the fears of the citizens that a white receiver would not have the best interests of the business at heart, that such a receiver may be interested more in grasping as much money for himself as possible. Many of the colored citizens of St. Louis also have the idea that if a permanent receivership is found necessary by the court that a Negro should be given the position. It is pointed out that no Negro member of the bar is ever appointed receiver of white concerns, and since this opportunity comes so seldom for Negroes, they should receive the full benefit of it. Divorce Suit Pending The receivership proceeding, filed by Mr. Malone at the time of his divorce suit, was laid over for February 2, with order that the temporary receiver remain in charge. The divorce suit is also pending. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Malone was in court to face each other as the second chapter of their domestic disturbance came before the court last Friday. Many spectators were on hand, and every move of the attorneys in the case gave evidence of a royal legal battle, because of the large fortune which is at stake. Opinions among the spectators seemed to be divided as the aftermath of the filing of the suit for divorce by Mr. Malone. Friends of Mr. Malone regard him as the injured party in the matter. They cite that while Mrs. Malone states that she "made him," they are inclined to take a different view of the case. Married in 1914 It is a known fact that when the couple was married in 1914, Mrs Malone did not own any real estate, and it was generally believed that whatever success she had up to (Continued on page 7) as five grand jurors not present. I do not understand it, unless you are mighty lax up here. I'll state now, that when court is in session, there are only two places for jurors and witnesses, in the court house or in jail." Judge Johnson spoke for nearly an hour, but his direct reference to the lynchings of Bertha, Demon, and Clarence Lowman consumed only a short period. His predecessors, he said, had already covered the ground fully. Consent by Silence He asked the Aiken citizens if they ever condemned the lynchings by mass meetings or otherwise, or if they had given their tacit consent by silence. "The eyes of South Carolina, indeed of America are on Aiken county today," he declared, "because its good name has been besmirched by a little band of wil- (Continued on page 7) MRS. SAVOY IS GIVEN A DIVORCE AT FAIRFAX, VA. The Fairfax County, Court, Fairfax, Virginia, indicated last Saturday after a hearing that an absolute decree of divorce would be granted Miss Valerie Turner who was formerly Mrs. Valerie Turner favoy. Miss Turner filed suit against her husband, Walter Stanford Savoy on the grounds of non-support, cruelty, and habitual drunkness, and presented three witnesses of which only one, Mrs. Mary Maloney testified. Following the testimony of her first witness the court stated that the absolute divorce would be granted. Married in 1922 Miss Turner, who was married March 29, 1922, in Elkton, Maryland, claims she built their home at 1328 Montello avenue, northeast, but because her husband gave nothing whatever toward financing the undertaking his name was omitted in the deed. Despite his contentions, the young wife states, she absolutely refused to mention his name in making out the deed. Failing to induce her to insert his name, Miss Turner alleges that the husband became infuriated and burn her parlor suite, and some of her clothes. She also told the court that Mr. Savoy had cut marks into and otherwise marred a large portion of the remaining furniture. The husband, it is alleged by the dicorce "just carried on." According to Miss Turner, Mr. Savoy commenced to indulge in intoxicants to the extent that he was habitually drunk. This, she says became unbearable and she resorted to the divorce proceedings. Miss Turner in an interview with a Tribune reporter denied she had any intention or desire to marry again. GIRL IS HIT WITH HAMMER During an altercation at Third and C streets, southwest, about 11:30 a.m. last Wednesday, Lillian Butler, 29, of 235 Four-and-a-half street, southwest, was struck on the hull with a hammer by Florence Canson, 24, of 245 Third street, southwest. Miss Butler was carried to the Emergency Hospital where she was treated for scalp lacerations. Her condition was described as not serious. Florence was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and assault. Lillian was charged with disorderly conduct. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. Haitian Attac Captain and Mrs. Napoleon.

In the tub, was a ten-lay-old baby, her little feet describing 'windmills in the air, and her hands outstretched as if pleading for help. She was alone, evidently unwanted, crying pitifully to the unknown world. The child was wrapped carefully by Officer Burton and sent to the Children's Hospital by George Hawkins, 435 Hoolidge court, and Henry Randolph, 909 2nd street. She was treated at the hospital by Dr. H. S. Bradey, who advanced the opinion but she will live.

Dr. James Thompson Wormley, who graduated from the school of pharmacy in 1870, and was the only member of his class, was reported as having died September 10, 1915, according to the alumni directory compiled in 1919, but recent re-compilations of the records disclose Dr. Wormley to be very much alive and residing at 547 Florida avenue, northwest. The mistake in the records was made because of the similarity in names. It was James A. Wormley who died in 1915. It was through the insistence of President Mordecal W. Johnson that every effort be exerted to re- Dr. J. T. WORMLEY discover lost alumni and to compile the most complete possible record of former students, living and dead, that the new investigation which disclosed the presence of the first graduate in Washington was made. Born in Washington Dr. James Thompson Wormley was born in this city, February 14, 1844, on E street, between 14th and 15th streets, northwest. The house in which he was born still stands and is opposite the White House and the Ellipse. He received his elementary education in the Phillips school of Boston. While still in school, he found employment in a drug store after school hours. Upon his return to Washington, he was em- (Continued on page 2) IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS Alley CAB ACCIDENT VICTIMS LONG SOUGHT BANDITS Collision with Red Cab Results in Capture of White Criminals The two bandits who were injured Thursday, January 20, when the car in which they were trying to escape the police was in collision with a Red Cab, have been identified as the same who have terrorized Washington storekeepers for the past month or more. The taxicab driven by Benjamin Parrott, 2277 Eighth street, northwest, was traveling north on Eleventh street approaching Columbia Road, when another car traveling at breakneck speed darted out of Columbia Road and turned south into Eleventh street. In the head-on collision which followed Parrot suffered minor injuries while two of the four white fugitives had to be drawn from the mass of wreckage. The remaining two escaped but were later captured. Bandits Confess Miltrose Ashle and Joseph Henderson, the two bandits who were caught after the wreck, were taken to Gallinger Hospital where they have made a clean breast of affairs. Besides implicating other persons who are alleged to have participated in criminal activities, the two criminals confessed to a large number of hold-ups. Among the "jobs" they admitted to have done was the attempted hold-up last Wednesday week, on the Sanitary Grocery at 1901 Twelfth street which was spilt by Charles H. Watkins, the colored man, who entered the Sanitary store on the suggestion of Marjorie Collins, 1905 Twelfth street. He succeeded in chasing the would-be hold-up men out of the neighborhood. In the story of the attempted hold-up of the Sanitary which appeared in this paper last week, Mr. Charles H. Watkins was named proprietor of the Olympia Cleaning Shop. Mrs. M. B. White is the owner. Other Activities Other people and places which they are said to have admitted they hold up are Bernard Kinney, manager of the A. & P. store at 2145 I street, northwest; William Weigman, proprietor of a store at 400 New York avenue, northwest; Dick Azadian, 1401 Eleventh street, northwest; Morris Shapiro, 1901 Fifteenth street, northwest; Herman Goldstein, Nineteenth and M streets, northwest; and Daniel Oates, Ninth and M streets, northwest. WM. H. TUCKER REALTOR BURIED WEDNESDAY William H. Tucker, one of the city's leading colored relators, died at his home 1529 S street, northwest at 8:45 last Saturday night. Mr. Tucker, a Virginian by birth, was appointed as messenger in the State, War, and Navy Building, in 1882 and after thirty-nine years of faithful service was retired on pension. Entering the real estate business in 1891, Mr. Tucker has been vve yactive ever since. A letter from J. M. Wainwright, assistant secretary of war written on the event of Mr. Tucker's retirement from the government service, July 30, 1921, commended him on his faithful service. An extract described the message as "a means cf expressing the gratitude of a government for a lifetime service devoted to it by one of its citizens." Mr. Tucker was one of the first colored men to own an automobile in the city of Washington. He survived by Mrs. Jocunie Z. Tucker his wife. Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WESTERN WESTERN TWO O Howard's First Graduate Found (Continued from page 1) ployed in a drug store owned by R. O. Bacon, at F and 4½ streets southwest, where he was not permitted to serve white patrons. Later he was sent to another of Bacon's drug stores in Anacostia, where he remained for a year. Feeling the need for more learning, he studied under Dr. A. T. Augusta, one of the members of the Howard medical faculty of 1869, and during his term of study, he was assigned to work in the dispensary of Freedmen's Hospital. Dr. Augusta was a medical officer in the Union army, and upon orders to move into Maryland, where a new regiment had been formed, young Wormley, was taken as his aide. He served during this time as a dentist, extracting teeth, and performing minor surgical operations because of the lack of sufficient medical officers. Studies Medicine Following the war, he continued to study with Dr. Augusta, and later he decided to take a full course in medicine in Howard; later he altered his decision and concentrated on pharmacy. Because of his previous experience, he entered Howard in a class by himself, and graduated in 1870 with the degree of doctor of pharmacy, as the only graduate of that year, and as the first graduate from any department of Howard. While a student at Howard, Dr. Wormley lived in Clark Hall, and was one of the pioneer students who with pick and shovel, at the rate of fifteen cents an hour, graded the old hill, transferring the farm into the Howard campus. Marries Musician Immediately upon graduation, Dr. Wormley was married to Miss Mary A. Ringold, who at that time was music teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia, the first colored person to serve in that capacity in Washington. By his marriage, he was forced to forego an offer of his father to bear his expenses of studying abroad. His idea was to enter business. He was determined to open the first Negro drug store in the District. His opportunity came one day when he approached the man for whom he was working, and who was inflicted with the "wine, woman and song" complex. On a morning after one of his dissipations, he asked his employer: "Why don't you rent this store to me?" To his amazement, the proprietor replied, "I won't rent it, but I'll sell it to you." Sells Piano Dr. Wormley did not have a dime, so he stated to the owner. But terms were arranged whereby he would pay $35 a month in a series of notes. His next problem was to find a more suitable location, for which he was still handicapped by the lack of funds. This he overcame by proposing the sale of his wife's piano, to which she consented on the agreement that he would replace it in six months. The piano brought $190, and with this sum he procured a lease for one year from a man named McMahon for the premises on the southwest corner of Connecticut avenue and L street, northwest. On the first day, he did an eight-dollar business. He claims that during his two years at that location he never did a day's business less than that. Enters Hotel Business Ill health, caused by overwork, hastened his retirement from the drug business, and he entered into business with his father, who was proprietor of the Wormley Hotel, 14th and H streets, northwest, now the site of the Union Trust Company. His father died in 1886, and his mother, sister, and three brothers conducted the business for a year, after which they all sold out to him. This business he continued for two years, when he disposed One of the Who's Who We depend upon you. —adv. of his interests and retired. His last activity had been in real estate, which he abandoned several years ago. His Family Dr. Wormley is the father of five children, four of whom have served as teachers and directors in the public schools of the District of Columbia. One of his daughters is the wife of Hon. Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio State Legislature, and another has met with large success as a real estate broker in Portland, Oregon. He is an uncle of Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, an alumni trustee of Howard Dr. Wormley is now living in retirement, and he is enjoying remarkably good health for his age. He has consented to be the honor guest at the Fourth Annual Senior Charter Day Dinner on March 2, at which time an attempt will be made to make the reception as much in honor of the first graduate of Howard University as that of the seniors of the present year. Bishop Jones, Only Bishop's Son to Attain Bishopric (Continued from page 1) duties for the first time here next Thursday. Among the bishops of these two denominations there is possibly not one who is more popular than Bish. op Jones. He is affable, a scholar and an orator. During his pastorage here he took part in many civic and racial uplift activities. He is the only resident bishop of his connection living here. Assisted by other general officers of the Zion church here and the local churches, he will act as official host for the visiting prelates. Attorney S. M. Dudley, church extension secretary and Dr. W. W. Matthews, secretary of the department of foreign missions and editor of the Missionary Seer, both with offices here will assist the bishop as host. Purchase Apartment Attorney Dudley is one of the leading laymen of his denomination. He was instrumental in having his group purchase the Windsor Apartment building where the two general officers maintain their local headquarters. This building is now practically the national headquarters of the Zion church. Dr. W. W. Matthews is a leading aspirant for the bishopric at the next general conference. He made a valiant, but unsuccessful attempt to bring the conference here, but no local auditorium of sufficient size could be obtained to house the convention.

RETIRED BALTIMORE SCHOOL TEACHER DIED SUDDENLY RETIRED BALTIMORE SCHOOL TEACHER DIED SUDDENLY George W.

Mr. Anderson was thought to have been very much improved from a recent illness, and while not a well man, was not thought to be in any immediate danger of dieing. While quietly conversing with a couple of young men who were calling on him, he suddenly collapsed into a state of unconsciousness from which he failed to rally, and died within a short time thereafter. Funeral services will be held in Madison St. Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, Md., at 2 o'clock Saturday. The surviving relatives of the deceased are, a wife, three daughters, Mrs. Bertha Hudgons, Misses Viola and Louise Anderson, a brother, Granville Anderson, of Pennsylvania and four grandchildren.

Bilton Wakiron, Pastor of Shitt Baptis tutional Church, de- livered his now famous sermon on “Bobbed Hair and Short Skirts.’ He was greeted by one of the larg. est crowds in the history of the eburch. His discourse brought smiles as Well as amens from his audience. Hundreds of women with short skirts and bobbed hair were in the audience. Because of the fact that his ser- mon has created so much interest, and so many people were unable to attend, The Tribune is herewith Teproducing the high lights of his ¥ marks. BOBBED HAIR AND SHORT SKIRTS. or WHAT SHALL WE WEAR? Sermon by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, -D.D. The Word of God on the Ap+ parel of Women ETO. 6.0 ant T Det h-2 Dake Seven Version) ““T desire therefore . , . that ‘women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness (hu- mility)” and sobriety; not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly raiment. “Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair and of wearing. jewels of Bold or of putting on of apparel.’ “The object of this sermon is not to get in an unkind fling at the women. of ‘the day, nor is it in- tended to make fun’ of the prevail- ing fashions of our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. “This discourse is the result of the conviction on the part of the speaker, that there is a moral and religious side to the dress of the women of today that has escaped the attention of most. people; for ‘We cannot believe that the thous- ands of Christian women in Amer- ica, who usually lead in sobricty, piety and purity of thought and conduct, would knowingly disre- gard the plain teaching of the ford of God relative to their man- ner of dress and the display of their person in public. God's Word on Women's Dress “We are taught in the Holy Seriptures to avoid the very ap- Pearance of evil, and in our con- duct as well as by our words, we are to provoke one another to good works, and to glorify God in our bodies and in our spirits which are His. ‘The great apostle Paul warns his readers against placing a stumbling block in the way of their fellow-men; the child of God was not to let his good deeds be evily spoken of, nor to do anything that would tempt his brother to sin. “The Old Testament, as well as the New, frequently reminds the children of God—both devout Jews and faithful Christians—that they ‘were to be careful of the garments they wore, as well as their color, ‘their shape and: their length, for ‘in these garments, they either ‘worship-the true and living God or idols. “The Jew and the ‘Christian, alike, are taught in the Holy Serip- ture, that the way they wore their hair’ and the style in which it was dressed, and the jewelry that adorned their heads or the other jparts of the body were signs of | their loyalty to idols or of their re- gard for Jehovah, their maker. Numerous Passages in Bible on Women’s Dress “There are more than 300 pass- ages of scripture in the Bible that jrefer to the dress of women and lthe way they wore their hair. "These ipessizes not only point out the style of garments to be worn by. the virgin, the bride, the mother, the princess, the mourn- er and the harlot, but they also Hindicate the color of these gar- {ments, their length and the ma- |terial of which they are to be vw wdep ee ca at See _ Many of these passages indi- cate the style and length of the hair to be worn by a Jewish wom- an or by a Christian. Nowhere in the Holy Bible do the writers find it necessary to rebuke any but the harlot for scanty attire in public; and the writers of God’s word seemingly, are never called upon to condemn the Jewish and Christian women for ‘bobbing’ their hair, but the prophets and holy ‘writers frequently condemn the women of their day for ‘bobbing’ or cutting their hair, or ‘braiding’ it, as these styles of dressing the hair were the prevailing fashion of those who worshipped idol gods, “Tn the face of the teaching of the scriptures referred to above, bobbed hair and short skirts for women, present a phase of the subject that Christian women, at least, cannot ignore and remain in- nocent before God. “We present here a few strong paragraphs from one of the most prominent publications in the West and commend them to the women of America: Modest Women Must Protest Against the. Prevailing Fashions “‘The Christian woman of to- day owes it to society, to “the church, and to God to throw her long sleeves across the pathway of the present immoral siump in dress. She ought not to appear in public, nor allow her daugthers to appear in public, in the fashion- able styles of dress now prevalent even among church women, “While the general |public “does not consider that sleeveless gowns are immodest, to wear them ix a compromise with fashion. Nothing can surpass for modesty the plain long sleeve, and dress to the neck at top and to ankles at the bottom. The mere, stigma of thoughtless People that it is not style ought not to deter an earnest Christian woman for thus becomingly dress- ing herself, Present Styles Immoral “‘The immoral effect of the present styles in dress-can “hardly be estimated. ‘Modosk spresx-sats tracts attention to the face ef a woman, and there is nothing more uplifting than the face of a noble woman. But modern dress at- tracts attention away from the face to the arms and legs of ‘woman, and this display day by day on the city streets and ever on Sundays in church is a terrible force for evil. “Good women must wake up to the fact that they cannot pattern these harlot styles and be innocent ‘of a share in the crime wave prev- alent in the country. | 4 Women Satan's Favorite Tool “Women have been Satan's fa- vorite tools in corrupting the race. He used Eve to corrupt Adam, and plant sin in the race.’ He ‘used Jezebel to plant Baal worship in Israel. He used Mrs. Eddy to start Christian Science. A woman started Spiritualism, and also Seventh-day Adventistism. “While we cannot prevent evil- minded women from practicing their lustful wiles on men, Chris. tian women are doing a great evil by countenancing and virtually ‘ap- proving their methods by dress. ing themselves and their daugh- ters in immodest clothes or. ever going half way with them. “Can a Bobbed-Hair Woman Go to Heaven?” “Yes, a bobbed-hair woman may go to heaven. But this question of bobbed hair es caused more dis- sension, more family strife, more heart aches, more tears than near- ly-any one thing-for the last year or two. It has ‘led to the separa- tion of husbands an dwives; it has furnished work for the divorce courts. If these things are true, tt certainly is worthy of discussion from the pulpit.” ‘The Objection to Bobbed Hair? “Our objections to bobbed hair are many, EE | “First—It causes most women tq Jose their feminine identity. and to tell the truth, we believe that the majority of those who’ engage in this abominable custom, do so that they may appear as much like men as possible. “Second—We abominate bobbed hair, because it destroys the dis- tinetive personality and. the natur- al beauty of the face of a: woman: “If God had intended women to be, in their countenance and face, diminutive and half-formed men, He would have made them such at the beginning. According to Oriental customs practiced’ in Bible times, and if we have been correctly informed, according to the customs that prevailed in the brothels and diye of France, wom- en who traffic in their own bodies, wear short hair. “The worshippers of idols in and around the Holy land of 4,000 years ‘ago, bobbed their hair and trained it into fantastic shapes around their temples and about their faces, as marks of! respect and worship to’idol gods and especially to those goddesses who mothered sexual infidelity. Short Skirts “Unfortunately for most, women of the day who wear the short skirt and ‘sleeveless gown, they cannot make the argument’ that these fashions are less troublesome and more «healthy than the: dress that goes down ‘to'the top of the shoes and the sleeve that eomes to the wrist. — , 4 “The wearer of the short skirt is neverat rest when seated; she either has to sit to one side and cross ‘her legs ‘antl’ pash ‘her’ feet and legs under the seat, or she is constantly pulling down the skirt that will not cover’ her kriees; and many of the physicians who attend the fashionable ladies of the day, testify that: much ofthe rheuma- tism, neuritis “and other ills in the chest, the legs and arms of these ultra’ fashionbale ‘women, are due to these short skirts and sleeveless gowns: and séantily clad legs; and a close observer of the fashionably dressed women of’ today, is im- pressed with the awkard and ugly carriage of the wearers of short skirts and sleeveless dresses.” “The late: Charles H. Spurgeon, admittedly the greatest preacher of his day, said in discussing female fashions. of Landon: ‘London. gets her fashions from Paris and Paris gets her fashions.from hell.’ “In. closing, we might remind ‘the ladies, that the’ great apostle ‘Paul, said to their sisters of 2,000 Years ago: ‘I desire therefore ... , that women: adorn themselves in prodest paparel, with humility, and jobriety: not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly rai. ment.’ And that the pure-minded and noble women of the world have nowhere outgrown the usefulness © fthis injunction. “And we are confident, that if the Christian women of America, not to mention others, would go to the word of God for their fashions in apparel, their conduct in public, their. in: serution and their duties and quali- tions as wives and mothers, the race would soon be much nobler than it is at present and divorces would decrease and - home-life would be purer and happier.” Mrs. Annie Scott Dead Impressive funeral services were held over the remains of Mrs. An- nie Scott, of Anacostia, D.C., who survived her husband, the’ late Charles Scott, one month and two days. Mrs. Scott was the sister of the late Mrs. Elizabeth A. Martin and Mrs. Agnes Hicks and Mrs. Re- becca’ West, who survive | her. Other: surviving relatives are a teacher in the schools and thre: sons, Vernon, of San Francisco Calif., Norris’ and. Charles. Classic’ St. Monica’s Chapel was filled with friends “and neighbors who listened with tears to the beautiful eulogy delivered by the Rev. Tunnel, a life long friend of the family. “The,large number of beautiful and costly floral designs bore mute testimony to the love and esteem in which the deceased and her family were held.

HENDERSON --- To the Editor: It has seemed strange to me that so little evaluation of the sterling worth and views of President Mordecal Johnson, of Howard University has been printed. It is highly significant that the first colored president of the greatest institution of its kind should have been so representative of the so-called, "New Negro." President Johnson is bigger than president of Howard University. He is fittingly the leader for this generation of our colored people in America. He is as far removed from the passing type of "big" Negro leader of today in his comprehensive analysis of conditions, needs and trends of the world today as Fred Douglass and a group of his courageous followers were above the individually self-satisfied free Negro of yesterday. That a man of President Johnson's courage and convictions should have been appointed to his eminent position is astounding to me. How did it happen? His expressions denoting the unstable conditions in the religious, political, educational and economic fields have been voiced hitherto only by the "unattached," "job-free," and "radical." Here, now we have a man in a job, a big pre-eminent position, who tells in unmistakable terms the need for unfettering enslaved minds of traditionally educated black men, whose views on the world, the race and themselves as individuals are rut-bound because of their fifteen, twenty or more years of training in prescribed restricting curricula of schools that idealize success as a practical material thing to be obtained by becoming physicians, lawyers, teachers, and business men. "Radicals" have been teaching that our racial group, while amassing power in the use of the tools of this white man's civilization in America in his language, literature, science, and government, should study the fast approaching changes in this country and be ready to take active parts on any stage. The organization of Pullman porters and other unions of workers are examples of activity in a new and important field. Now Dr. Johnson comes along and decries any attempt on the part of colored teachers and leaders to throttle the thought or expression of the souls of black folk that happen not to co-incide with the well traced roads to success travelled by white folk whose money or position of preferment make them acclaimed as famous. When we think of the old reactionary type of colored man whose success has been achieved by using his brains to have colored people do and live as his employers would JOHN WESLEY A.M.E.

If the little satraps whose biggest vision and best service is found in the minutiae of class room teaching, and those who agitate for the petty good of "Old Howard," will be still and let President Johnson sound his message after the fashion he has already begun, more good will result to the graduates going out in the big field of labor and to the race generally, than accrued from the efforts of a previous half dozen educators as presidents of Howard University. of action by mass brought about the hours, better work less risk to life a chance to pursue a midst of toil.

If the "Howard uber alles" spirit of some alumni could tune in with the vibrating soul of Professor Johnson, the university would doubly justify the material and professional equipment now known as Howard University! The world is waiting for more men to fill in this breach between the setting souls and the rising sons. Now we don't mean to subscribe to all of Doctor Johnson's diagnoses, remedies, or prognostications. We must allow for some influence of a life of trying to be honest, yet forced to take some of the theology as it was taught and must be preached, and therefore he might propagandize the philosophy of Ghandi of India. With a big stick rattling over Nicaragua, and Mexico and China, and everywhere the power of the steeled hand in the glove of plush being felt in the interests of capitalism, there are those philosophers who believe resistance in terms of force justified as labor has, by dint of strikes and union The Sea for Mid-Wi Dances The month of February son for Mid-Winter D perience for a numbe dances during this sea ly successful.

But Reverend Johnson must be respected and honored and supported for his thought stimulating endeavors, his example of fearlessness in pointing out the fallacies and hypocrisies of the time. It has been considered by some as bordering on hetery, communism, or treason for one to suggest that the church, the economic system or government may be resting on unstable or unsatisfactory intellectual bases; or that, with a world around us seething in change, a big modification of existing conditions in America is to be expected. It is well to have such prophets, even though we heed them not while engaged in the pursuit of pleasure, or material wealth. The hand-writing on the wall was not intelligible to the Medes and Persians. The philosophers of Rome and Athens who in their day pictured the tottering of government the trembling of the empires, were scorned and crucified just as for free speech and non-conformity to the plans of patriotic, fat, sleek scoundrels of Germany of the past and many countries of today, many pay the price for their temerity. Our leaders of today who have been urging Negroes to become carbon-copies of Nordics and Klansmen in their intolerant views of race patroitism or religion, need take a page from President Johnson's book.

It kept me from being popular; it kept me from being happy—nothing seemed to do any good—then I tried Hi-Ja. My hair started to grow like magic—almost two inches a month for a while. Soon it was so long, soft and silky that it reached my shoulders and was easy to comb. Men began to pay attention to me and to seek my company. Popularity and good times were mine at last.

Morgan College played against the Alcoes, and as a consequence the Alcoes lost 40-22. Though it was a pretty good game, needless to say the city champions proved no match for the visiting clan. That Jones-Clarke-Hill-Wheatley-Brown combination "is just too bad." The opening ten minutes of the fray was really red hot, but only for those first few moments were the strictly home town fans able to hope. This was the second appearance of the Bears in Washington this season and take it from those present the Baltimore team was far from off form. Just to show how they enjoyed fast basketball the invaders piled up a 28-7 lead by the time the half way post was reached. The second half punctured by exhibitions of Lanky's phemeal ball-handling was no more than a parade—headed by the referee—of the two teams from one free line to the other. Roughness was in the fore and played a large part in slowing up the proceeding but after all there was enough action of the spectacular variety to let everyone enjoy themselves.

Whitted, 20 years old, a graduate of the Union Township High School, Culver, Indiana, is one of the Purple and White's most dependable performers. Scrappy is an exponent of the double jump-throw which is one of the most difficult shots to guard. His knack in feinting while in the air makes the Alco forward expe- tionally elusive. Minus his un- controllable temper Whitted would be a star of the first water in every sense. WILBERFORCE DEFEATS FINDLAY COLLEGE FIVE By "Seck Simms" WILBERFORCE, Ohio, Jan. 21. The second basketball game of the year was played on the home court and Wilberforce University quintette had an easy time in easing away from Findlay College, Ohio Conference Team, thus sending them home laced to a 48-20 score. The game was alittle one-sided from the beginning to end, and in order that the men of the basketball squad might get some of the bacon Coach Graves allowed regulars and reserves a chance to SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor DISTRICT CHAMPS WILL RECOGNIZE YELLOWJACKETS COMMUNITY HAS HAD A SEASON THAT WARRANTS CHAMPS' RESPECT For three long years the Community A. A. basketball team D. C. Amateur Champions, have been harboring hopes that some day they might be accepted as logical contender for the city championship. Last Saturday, Manager Hill of the Alco, city champions, agreed to give the Yellowjackets a chance to prove themselves worthy of the long sought recognition. Carlisles Maintain Stand Despite the fact that the Carlisle management can not see the young club team as a worthy fee, the Purple and White authorities have agreed to take Community's challenges seriously. Taylor and Conway, Indian bosses, approached on numerous occasions have not yet been convinced that the younger team could make a contest out of a game with heir team. The Black and White Checks, 1925 champions of Washington, have for a number of years been the only logical contenders for the title, and they maintain that even now no other team has a right to dispute the fact that they are alone on the ladder. The recent victories the Carlisle five have enjoyed over the Baltimore Athenians and Philadelphia Scholastics have gained for them a great deal of local prestige, but a small degree of public sentiment has it that the 1925 champs should remove the Orange and Black obstacle. Developed Together It is a chesty lot representing the Community A. A. which for six years or more has been in the stage of development. While the association itself is only four years old the nucleus of the team representing it was playing together for sometime prior to the Community Club's organization. Thomas, the team's newest member, has played only one year, but through his cooperation and willingness to learn he has established himself as one of the most important cogs in the club machine. Jimmie Lee, guard, is back in the Community fold after having played with Armstrong and Shilloh. Lee was a guard on the Junior Y. M. C. A. quint out of which the Community basketball team grew. During the seasons of 1922-23 Lee played alongside of Johson his present running mate so that the challenger's back court pair is strong. Neagie Ellis the only other addition is in reality not a new comer, having served in the capacity of Community Coach in 1925 Much propaganda has been spread concerning a meeting between these two teams. Each foe has a large array of supporters. The Amateur champions have as mix following as the popular Purple and White machine. Old folks as well as young believe the club boys can give a good account of themselves, and a large portion of Washington fans have expressed a desire to see the youngsters clash with Judge Smith's charges February 13 Decided On February 13th has been decided on as the date of the first game. In 1925 Sunday basketball was a feature at the Murray Palace Casino, and only with the remodeling of that floor was the enterprise given up. Sunday, February 13th will witness a revival of Sunday afternoon basketball in Washington, and it is expected to be met with favor. The thirteenth day will be a humdinger for the fans and a hoodoo for—which team? mix it up with the Findlay basketeers. Redden and Carter are showing up well on the floor.

There is a possibility even, that t reprimand the school authorities and handling of the spectators the high s tinued. Over three thousand fans, mostly students, were in a riot at the Arcadia Auditorium last Tuesday evening. The Central and Western High School basketball teams had just finished a pretty hard fought game from which the Mount Pleasant School five emerged victorious. As the gun went off for the end of the game, the Western captain struck—accidentally (?)—one of the Blue and White guards in the back. The Centralite retaliated by a blow with the basketball on the Georgetown leader's head. When the two players began fighting, the crowd of some 3500 decided to make it unanimous and soon the court was a scene of a free-for-all battle royal. An attack, led by men above the high school age, was instigated against the entire Western squad, and only through the strenuous efforts of faculty members and Arcadia employees was the bedlam quieted before the arrival of the police. The trouble started as a result of the high tension which had been evident all evening. The closeness of the battle, school spirit, keen rivalry, and general excitement was said to have accounted for the "slight" misbehavior. The crowd keyed up to the pitch of the battle was at the point where the slightest degree of heat would cause an explosion. Any number of excuses were offered for the affair. It is all right—they are white. Suppose, gentle reader, you and I picture a Dunbar-Armstrong championship game at the Colonnade. There are always a few very minor disturbances when these two teams meet in their annual titular clashes, but let us go so far as to visualize one of greater proportions—one similar to the fist-slinging melee at the Arcadia on Tuesday. If such an occurrence was to take place at one of our basketball gatherings it would be painted by the press, it would be the Sunday text, and it would cause the Colonnade management no end of embarrassment. There is a possibility even, that the city officials would severely reprimand the school authorities and charge that due to incapable handling of the spectators the high school series should be discontinued.

Overexuberance and numerous other high-falutin' words were used as alibis for the affair at the Arcadia, while one of similar proportions at the Colonnade would be described as "merely typical of the low morals of the race." One is white—the other colored. Like the story in which three colored men figured: Jones was asked by Brown, "Did the hen precede the egg or the egg the hen?" "Why," said Jones, "I was told the egg beat the hen here." Brown then wanted to know, who had thus informed Jones. "My father told me," replied the latter. "Oh," retaliated Brown, "your father is crazy, he doesn't know." "Say, Smith," he called to an approaching friend, "decide this for us." After being informed of the discussion, the newcomer answered, "A white man told me that the egg was first." "Now," said Brown, "that's different." CARLISLES TROUNCE PHILADELPHIANS CARLISLES TROUNCE PHILADELPHIANS The Philadelphia Scholastics were smothered in a Carlisle on slaught last Friday night when the local aggregation brought in a 44-29 decision. The visitors who defeated the Carlisles 21-18 last month in Pennsylvania were completely outclassed last week at the Colonnade. Conway's Black and White Checks experienced little difficulty in chalking up their second decisive win in as many starts. This victory following the one over the Athenians on January 13 proves that the local quint is much improved over the one which lost to the Buccaneers the first of the month. It seems impossible to keep the name of Benny Hill, Carlisles diminutive forward out of the headlines. Little Benny whom I dare say has scored almost as many points as any other individual in Washington was again the biggest scoring power for the home team. With six baskets from scrimmage and a free throw last Friday, Hill increased his total for the past four games to twenty-two fields goals and four fouls. Whenever the Black and White forward stopped to aim the scorers were made to understand that they should add another double decker to the Carlisle side of the ledger. Defense Stronger Conway's and Taylor's defense showed up to much better advantage than it has in the past and with Henderson under the opponents' basket taking the ball off the backboard and feeding passes to Hill or Davis the local offense was also improved. Then again there were times when the Carlisle center would elect to carry the ball down himself. When he did this it usually resulted in a score. Henderson's help netted the Carlisle cause twelve points via five floor shots and two from the fifteen foot ribbon. Carlisles. g f p Scholastics. g f p Carlisles,df. .3 0 6 P.

Wait let me wipe the perspiration which still clings to my brow as a result of the close shave the Community A. A. team had in the Y. M. C. A. gym last Friday night when by the above score they were able to `just barely nose out the fast Senegal A. C. five. One of the hottest games played on local courts, and absolutely the fastest seen on the "Y" floor this year was the Community - Senegal tilt of Friday the 21. Senegals Hold Lead Establishing 5-1; 8-2; and 17-9 leads at various stages of the first half the Senegals in their first "Y" League appearance went out for the intermission on the long end of a 20-13 count. The Yellowjackets' rooting section could find nothing to yell for during the entire 20 minutes which marked the opening period, while others—neutral and otherwise—were howling for a victory over the amateur champs. **Second Half Different** But the next half was different. Jimmie Lee with blood in his eyes took the initial tap-off and dribbled into a fast shot, arousing the fighting spirit of the team which is soon to take on the District Champions. "Red" Fowler of last year's Carlisle team with his long shooting had been a thorne in the side to the Orange and Black machine, but with the Yellowjackets continually pushing his shots the Senegal star was kept out of the danger zone. Though the Yellowjacket quint was on the tail end of the scoring throughout the first three periods, the champion's old time fight brought on a rally that was not to be denied.

Invincibles here February 6 Sunday, February 6 will witness the first of a series of Sunday basketball games to be held in Washington during next month. The Community A. A. Yellowpackets, holders of the District amateur championship and contenders for city honors will meet the fast Dagmar Athletics of Philadelphia. The visitors will present a strong lineup under the leadership of Henry Loatman former player manager of the Wilmington Senatics. The Dagmars have held the amateur championship of Pennsylvania and New Jersey for the past three years and are coming to Washington in the effort of annexing the District's amateur crown to their laurels. Playing as the Philadelphia Invincibles the team now representing the Dagmar Club defeated the Armstrong "Wonder Five" of 1923-24. This game has been accepted by the local Orange and Black management for the purpose of allowing Washington fans to witness the Community quint under pressure. To date there have been very few contests in which the Yellow-jackets figured that they were not odds or favorites. With the District championship battle following one week behind the Dagmar clash the local boys are in for a week of strenuous basketball. A very nominal fee will be charged due to the fact that Community's desire is not to make money since they pay their players no salary. "If expenses are covered we are satisfied," say the club lads. The starting of Community games are on time, so be on your guard, fans. UNION'S PANTHER FIVE LOSES TO HAMPTON'S BASKETEERS 37-29 By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., January 26—Hampton's basketball quintet played the Union University five for a win with a score of 37 to 29 on the Hampton Institute gymnasium basketball court. The Panthers snatched the lead from the Blue and White dribblers in thier part of the first half and things looked pretty much as if their lead could not be overtaken. Something happened to the Blue and White five during the intermission, however, for they came back in the second half and ran the score up for a comfortable lead. Cotton, Hampton's promising forward, just could not be stopped. The game was exciting, as well as remarkably played, the frequent exhibitions of skill in passing and shooting bringing the onlookers to their feet time after time. The Hampton quintet will play the Panthers a return game in Richmond on January 29. Lincoln and Hampton will meet on February 5 for the first time in two years, on Hampton's court. Basketball fans of the lower peninsula are looking forward to seeing the two teams in action as the Lions are said to have a wonderful combination this season.

FROSH Two undefeated teams, Howard University Freshmen and Community, met last Monday night and the latter remained undefeated by virtue of the 26-22 lacing they dealt the college boys. Both of these teams are known to have a good opinion of themselves and a battle between the two has been anxiously awaited. Superior team play was the margin of victory, the university boys having to depend on one man, Cooper. to keep them in the running. Of the 22 Frosh points, Cooper scored half, and was the only Blue and White player to obtain more than one field basket. Three of the eight Howard men were entirely out of the scoring column while only one, Frazier who did not play long, Community man was responsible for less than 2 points. Saturday night, the Yellowjackets meet the Armstrong Tech quint at the "Y" and on Monday night the amateur champs will take on the Manchester before the Fitton-Carlisle classic at the Colonnade.

W. WRIGLEY OPENS CONTEST TO ALL COLORED SWIMMERS HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER -SECOND WRIGLEY MARATHON New Contest for Women Swimmers Open to all Regardless of Color LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 26. (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Notwithstanding the failure of the two colored natators to appear for the Catalina Channel swimming race, although their names appear on the official entry list, and their presence was very much sought by spectators and officials alike; those who aspire for aquatic honors and everlasting fame, will have another opportunity when William Wrigley's second marathon planned for women only, is held in August. Two Colored Women Were Entered Miss Pauline Jackson and Miss Ellen Ray of New York who won first and second places, respectively in the Pelham Bay, New York swim were the two mermails who appeared on the official entry list and whose names were broadcasted over the radio as participants. However when the 102 contestants lined up for the start, it was noticed that the only colored persons present for the epic event were the press representatives, Henry Jones and Claude Neal of The Pacific Coast News Bureau, Harry Lovette of the California Eagle and the writer. The press men were there at the invitation of J. H. Patrick, president of the Catalina Company, and were accorded the same courteous treatment as given star reporters of the world's leading news gathering organizations, newpapers, magazine writers and motion picture news reel operators. The "Avalon" palatial Wrigley steamship followed the contestants all through the day and night and was reserved exclusively for "the press" officials, and swimmers who were taken from the water. It is reported that lack of funds kept the colored girls out of the race. UNION LEAGUE ORGANIZED UNION LEAGUE ORGANIZED The Union Baseball League of semi-pro clubs in Washington was organized for 1927 at the residence of Hayes Jones, the acting president, last Sunday afternoon. Franchises were applied for by managers of the Myrtle A. C., Washington Giants, Stonewalls, and Leoroit Tigers. The Washington Black Sox, runners up in the 1926 fight will play like they started last year—out of the circuit. The Black Sox management announced that his team would not enter the loop, but would remain independent. Sunday, January 30 will witness the election of officers for the coming season. Beginning June 18 the Leoroitts will use Howard University Stadium as their home grounds. ARMSTRONG DOWNS HUNTINGTON ARMSTRONG DOWNS HUNTINGTON By Pee Wee The Huntington Hi basketball team from Newport News, was downed by the Armstrong quint on the latter's floor last Thursday, 30-19. The local high school uncovered an attack which with Merriweather and Graham in a shooting mood completely snowed the visitors under. Exhibiting a good passing game and a strong defense the Orange and Blue lads had no trouble in baffling the Virginians. The invaders' scoring was confined to Fisher and Jefferson, who counted 11 and 8 points respectively.

Scoring 23 points between them this pair counted more than the entire Bluefield team. By virtue of 5 field goals and 3 shots from the freedom line, the Howard Captain led the point getters. Berry with 4 baskets from scrimmage and 2 one pointers was 3 notches behind the leader. The visiting aggregation proved no match for Coach Bur's machine and on few occasions was the crowd of nearly 800 given a thrill. The Bison mentor used his second string men for fully half of the game. This was done either for the purpose of evening matters or to prevent scouting on the part of the entire Morgan College team which was present with Drew. The Blue and White quint is to meet Morgan again soon, and they have an old score to even with the Baltimore College.

COLORED LAD WINS VARSITY "O" COLORED LAD WINS VARSITY "O" Talmadge Long, a colored boy from Cleveland, has won the Ohio State varsity letter in his sophomore year at that university. Long, a 440-dash man of no mean ability, was presented with the track emblem after his victory January 17, against the cream of Western conference runners. The university daily spoke of his victory as follows: "The quarter mile race proved to be the thriller of the day. Kriss, who had gone out in front at the crack of the gun led the 440 runners until the last 50 yards of the race. At this point, Long, a flashy Negro lad, with powerful stride, pulled alongside the former Shaw High runner, then swept on to an impressive win in exceptionally good time. These two lads should stage some thrilling races during the coming indoor season, for they are both the spinner type, who dash practically the entire distance." Besides being an athlete Long is a well-thought of student in fine arts, several of his drawings having been on exhibition here. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. RENAISSANCE TO PLAY CELTICS AGAIN NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Harlem's pride, the strong Renaissance five, Colored World's Champs will meet the original Celtic machine for their second engagement of 1927 on Lincoln's birthday at the 369th Regiment Armory. This affair following the close victory of the white team over the colored champions on New Year's Day is expected to draw a record crowd. That it will be a red hot affair can be judged by the fact that on their previous meeting the Harlem team lost by the close proximity of two points. Before 4500 spectators the white champions by virtue of more success in their foul tries came out on top of a 23-21 score. All Harlem is anxiously awaiting the return clash, and the Slocan-Fial-Ricks-Mayers-Jenkins combine is expecting revenge.

HANNAH WASHINGTON IN "US BUNCH" COMEDIES Hannah Washington, 2-year-old motion picture actress, has been signed by the Sunset Studios as a permanent member of "Us Bunch" comedies. "The Big Pie Raid" will be the first "Us Bunch" picture. Hannah is the colored juvenile in the cast and is considered an exceptional Dud's Dope (By S. H. Dudley) It is seldom that I write anything in these columns expect show news, since I don't know how to write anything else—a very good reason and a clean honest confession. I am sure it will be of interest to our people to know that the business and professional men of Washington and Baltimore are planning to charter a sleeper and dining car to leave Washington to seek health. Mr. J. H. Maxwell, who is considered one of Washington's most wide-awake business men and financiers, is responsible for this thought. Mr. Maxwell, for years connected with the Pennsylvania Rail Road, is negotiating for a pullman and dining car to leave Washington on February 15, for Hot Springs, Ark., to take the course of baths, etc. Mr. Maxwell will arrange the entire trip, including meals on the train to and fro. Hotel meals and baths at Hot Springs and all other details to make this a pleasant and enjoyable trip for all that joint this "Health Seeking Party." I think this a wonderful idea, as our people are always too busy to think about their health. I am sure that after reading this article there will be other health seeking parties organized, especially from New York and Chicago. It will afford me great pleasure to send you a list of the names of "The Pleasure Seekers," at a later date. Health comes first, the sooner we learn this, the better off we'll be. There is no health resort in America to compare with Hot Springs. So we are Hot Springs bound in February if nothing goes wrong. T.O.B.A. WESTERN CIRCUIT NEWS (By W. R.

HUBBARD STILL AMATEUR Dehart Hubbard, broad jump titleholder, maintains that he is an amateur. Hubbard informed the Amateur Athletic Union heads that contradictory to reports he had not turned professional. The basketball team with which he is connected, Hubbard avers, is an amateur club and that a proposed tour advertising his name as the team's attraction gave rise to the false rumor. Beside defending his broad jump title Hubbard anticipates winning the 100-meter championship in the 1928 Olympics. A. A. U. officials, while apparently satisfied with Hubbard's explanation said that the facts would be put in the hands of the Ohio district association with a request that Hubbard be given full opportunity to make his status clear. ROYAL GIANTS TAKE TWO MORE GAMES ROYAL GIANTS TAKE TWO MORE GAMES LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 26. (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—The debut of Willie Foster, Sunday, in a Royal Giant uniform, is possibly the highlight of local baseball news. When the Giants finally lose a game it will be news. They have now won eight games and tied one out of a total of nine games played in the second half of the Winter League Season. Saturday the Giants won 4-3, and Sunday it was a 4-0 shutout over the Pirrone All-Stars. Saturday the Giants put on their third consecutive successful ninth inning rally, when Rogan, pinch hitting for Joseph, singled a runner across with the winning tally. The score at the time was tied three all. Sunday Willie Foster with his left hand slants was all the show. He allowed the All-Stars just eight scattered blows and fanned every man on the team but "Ping" Bodie. The strike outs totaled The Intimate Playhouse HOWARD THEATRE—T St. at 7th Samuel M.

The Month of December was a "pain" Tiger Flowers "lost" to Mickey Walker; Baby Joe Gans was beaten by Harry Kid Brown, and then this same white boy won on a foul from Young Harry Wills, the West Coast flash. CELTICS FORGED TO LIMIT TO DEFEAT RENAISSANCE NEW YORK, Jan. 26—Before some 4500 spectators the world’s champion Celtics quint defeated the Renaissance 23-21 on New Year’s day at the Manhattan Casino. The game was fast and roughly played, hence numerous fouls being called. Celtics made good 11 out of the 19 tries while the Renaissance made but 9 out of 29 tries. Herein lies the secret of their defeat. The Renaissance presented their usual lineup but after seven minutes of play with the score 9-3 against them, they sent in “Long Boy” Saunders in place of Slocum who moved up to replace Ricks who had a bad night. In this half the Renaissance kept Beckman and Holman well covered, but allowed Pete Barry to get away and make easy shots. The half ended with Celtics leading, 17-10. In the second half Holman scored a basket from a difficult angle and then a foul. Right then Renaissance woke up to the fact that they were playing an uphill fight and started off by a long shot by Mayers. Saunders Scores two minutes later he sent another one on a close follow up. The crowd exercised their lungs and began rooting harder than ever for a Renaissance victory. Dehueot then broke through the line and was fouled by Sloeum. He brought the score up to 21-14. Saunders then scored a foul with but three minutes to go. Barry then dropped back and set for a long shot which he made. Along came Saunders with two fast baskets, making the score 23-20. Jenkins then dropped in a foul, 23-21, with forty seconds to go. Maters tried a long one that went in but came out and then the crowd moaned. Lophick recovered from the backboard and passed to Holman who "froze" the ball the remaining 20 seconds to play. A great game, a great crowd and the fans are anxiously awaiting the meeting of the two teams in the future. Renaissance scoring machine Ricks, Fial and Jenkins, were closely watched and their men won the game. For Celtics, Barry was the power of the offense and Holman's floor work dazzled both fans and players. Time after time this great player would start his famous shift and break through each time. Saunders for Renaissance is the star. A young man, tall, with unusually long arms, this man will bear watching in the future. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE HARRY WILLS TO TRY A COMEBACK: RUMOR HARRY WILLS TO TRY A COMEBACK: RUMOR Sparrow McCann writing in a New York paper says: Way out of sight there is a big brown man working hard and dreaming of a day when he will resume his ring career and make a lot of white boys wish they had never been born. He is Harry Wills. Harry well knows what the world thinks of him as a result of his humiliating bout with Jack Sharkey, but he has by no means lost faith in himself. He knows that he took Sharkey lightly and that he did not hurt himself by the amount of intensive training he did for that set to. One thing has to be handed to him, he has kept his mouth shut has never made so much as a peep in the way of an alibi. When the time comes, he will let his two fists attend to the alibi stuff. Dempsey turned in a bad fight and as a result he stands forth with greater popularity than when he was a champion. Wills pulled a bum bout and at once everybody jumped in to bestow a kick. Why? The only answer seems to be that Wills' fearsome reputation stood him in bad stead after Sharkey showed he could stand up with him and give better than he received. The public dearly loves a busted terror; that is, the public loves to jump upon him when he's down and tear him apart and laugh over its prestine fears of him. But watch out, Harry thinks there is a fight or two left in that old black body, and he might be right. BABY GANS RUNS DOWN FERACCI AND WINS DECISION EASILY LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 26. (Pacific Coast News Bureau) After Baby Joe Jans soaked Charlie Ferracci on the chin in the second round of their bout at the Olympic, Tuesday night, it turned out to be a foot race with Ferracci very much ahead and seldom tagged by the onrushing Gans. However Gans did land at times when Ferracci was cornered and the referee gave Gans the decision. Charlie Long refused to accept a victory on a foul when he floored Billy Harms, in the third round of the semi-windup. But Long in his anxiety hit Harms after Harms was down and thus lost on a foul.

The remainder of his talk to the jurors was devoted to his conception of the reason for lawlessness in the country today. He declared that petit jurors have not been doing their duty, that judges have contributed by failing to impose adequate sentences, and that delays of the law have been responsible. He mentioned also what he termed the "virtual breakdown of parental authority in the home." The Aiken case did not come up for immediate consideration because of the absence of several of the principals. Attorney-General John M. Daniel, in charge of the lynching case for the state, was not in the court room, nor was W. W. Rogers, state detective who has been working up the evidence. Solicitor Berte D. Carter who will assist the attorney-general was engaged in preparing other cases on the docket. Sheriff Robinson, who denied to Governor McLeod participation in the lynching as charged in affidavits made by occupants of the jail, was performing his customary duties, while J. Percy Hart, former state constable LINCOLN THEATRE U Street, N.W. MAT.NEES DAILY—2 P.M. Sundays—3 P.M. ADMISSION, MAT.

If the grand jury in this present inquiry should fail to act, one other course is open to the state. Warrants could be sworn out on the basis of the evidence in hand against suspects. Governor Makes Statement Governor John G. Richards, the newly inaugurated governor of South Carolina, indicates he will cooperate in cleaning the name of the state. He has issued a statement declaring: "The evidence that has been secured in what is known as the Aiken lynchship will be presented to the grand jury of Aiken County, during the present term of court. I regard this as one of the most important matters inherited by my administration. "I have requested Attorney-General Daniel, who, in co-operation with Solicitor Carter, who is in charge of this case, to lay aside all other matters, and give all necessary time to the task of clearing the name of our state, to the end that those guilty may be tried in our courts and a true verdict rendered according to the evidence." Pardons Martin Governor Richards went further in his steps of co-operation when he granted a pardon to Heyward Martin of Aiken, restoring his citizenship rights in order that he may testify before the Aiken grand jury concerning the Lowman lynching. Martin was convicted in Aiken county court last October of receiv- ing stolen goods, and was sentenced by Judge Martin McMann to serve 60 days. No part of this sentence was remitted in the governor's order, as Martin has completed service of the sentence. The pardon restored citizenship rights in view of the fact that the state may need his services as a witness. Reported that Negro is Poro Co-Receiver Reported that Negro is Poro Co-Receiver (Continued from page 1) that time was about the end of her vision. But Mr. Malone, it is claimed, put new life and new vision into the enterprise. Shortly after their marriage she voluntarily turned over the management to her husband, underwriting his name with the words "power of attorney." This was followed with the incorporation of Poro College Co., with 500 shares. She allotted him 497 of the 500 shares of the capital stock, taking one share for herself and distributing the other two between her nephew and her secretary. The corporation was dissolved in 1918. These are some of the facts that the friends of Mr. Malone cite when speaking of the contribution which he made toward the business. Malone Claims Success In his petition for receivership, Mr. Malone, himself, states that it was through his wide experience among colored people while selling books, at which he claims to have made a good-sized profit and which necessitated his traveling extensively, that he was able to put the products of Poro on a commercial selling basis and secure for Mrs. Malone the recognition she could not otherwise have obtained. In the meantime, the temporary receivership goes on. Conrad Paeban, appointed as receiver by the court, has made a demand for the production of securities worth $84,000, shown on the books of Poro College, but not actually in his hands. Everett Paul Griffin, attorney for Mrs. Malone, said the books showed many items of property belonging to Mrs. Malone personally. He argued, that, as Mrs. Malone contends, the business belongs to her, and not in any part to Mr. Malone. Judge Hartmann ruled that, as the items appear on the books of the company, the receiver was entitled to an accounting for them. He held, however, that this would require an increase of the receiver's bond, and ordered an increase from $50,000 to that of $150,000.

The commission is to make a complete survey of every city of 5,000, and more, where Negroes form 10 per cent of the population. It is the intention of the commission to get the birth and death rate and make comparison and then summarize the conditions found in each community. The entire country is to be divided into sections; after the sectional statistics are obtained they are to be analyzed and given to the country without coloring. It is the intention of the commission to recommend corrective measures so that necessary steps may be taken to reduce to a minimum the infant mortality of the race. DeLUXE TRAIN Mr. Joseph H.
