WOMAN SLAPS MAN'S FACE IN D. C. COURT ROOM COURT FAILS; GIRL METES PUNISHMENT LINCOLN THEATRE SOLD FIRST in Advertising and Circulation WOMA COURT FAILS; GIRL METES PUNISHMENT Rita E. Jenkins, the complainant in an assault case against Genaro Trujello, a young Argentinean, took the law into her own hands in Justice Hoehling's court last Monday afternoon. After a jury had acquitted the foreigner of the girl's charges the young colored maid who was formerly employed at 1322 L street, north-west, gave vent to her feelings and deliberately struck the man a staggering blow. Trujello on December 10 last, it is alleged, went to the L street rooming house where Miss Jenkins was at that time employed for the purpose of looking at a room. The maid opened the door and took him upstairs for the supposed inspection, but instead of interesting himself in the quarters, the Argentinean according to the girl's story, turned upon her and attempted to criminally assault her. Rita's screams, though muffled by rags Trujello forced into her mouth, were heard by George C. Clarke, a resident of the place. Failing to accomplish his purpose the assailant left before any intervention. Following a verdict of "not guilty" the court room was sent into a furore as the girl leaped from her seat shouting, "If the government won't protect me, I will protect myself." Brushing aside spectators, she rushed to the side of Trujello and dealt him a blow in the face that sent him staggering. As soon as she had given vent to her feelings the young maid collapsed. While the spectators and attendants were recovering their composure, Rita was carried from the room and revived after which she was sent to her home by her employer. What would ordinarily have been a decided contempt of court, carrying a jail sentence, was overlooked by Justice Hoehling, who displayed a commendable attitude of fairness by calmly overlooking the unusual occurrence. Attorney Samuel F. Beach appeared for the accused, while Assistant District Attorney E. Russell Kelly conducted the prosecution. JOSEPH BRYANT SEEKS TO ANNUL HIS MARRIAGE Joseph L. Bryant, 1320 U Street, Northwest, is seeking to have annulled his marriage to Mrs. Willie A. Bryant, 2131 Park Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Through attorney J. Franklin Wilson, he filed suit last Wednesday in the District Supreme Court, asking that it be declared null and void. Mr. Bryant alleges that at the time he went through a marriage ceremony with Mrs. Bryant, she had a living husband, Will H. Cunningham, from whom she had not been divorced. The couple was married in Eufaula, Alabama, April 5, 1917, Mr. Bryant states, and he and his wife lived together until November 10, 1923. A child was born as a result of this marriage at Freedmen's Hospital September 17, 1917. This child died shortly afterwards. Mr. Bryant sought a limited divorce in the District Supreme Court after he and his wife separated, but his suit was dismissed. A marriage certificate attached to the petition for annulment shows that Mrs. Bryant, whose maiden name was Willie Adelle Reese, was married to Will H. Cunningham in Eufaula, Alabama, November 21, 1912. Cunningham died February 10, 1920. RACE RELATIONS' SUNDAY TO BE FEBRUARY 13 RACE RELATIONS' SUNDAY TO BE FEBRUARY 13 Following an annual custom which began in 1923, February 13 will be widely observed this year as Race Relations Sunday. On that date sermons, addresses, and programs on race relations will be given in thousands of churches throughout the country. Originated as a means of enlisting the religious forces of the nation in behalf of a Christian solution of the race problem, Race Relations Sunday has become an established custom, and is more widely observed with each passing year by churches, missionary organizations, young people's societies, Christian associations, and other religious groups.

Haitian Policy Denounced FRANCIS JUNIOR HIGH NOT READY, DECLARES BUILDING COMMITTEE The Francis Junior High School, which the District Commissioners turned over to the Board of Education as having been completed, is not in a suitable condition for occupancy, the committee on buildings and grounds reported at the meeting of the board in the Franklin School building Wednesday afternoon. The committee report detailed a large number of things which need to be done in order to complete the building. Before school work shall be begun in this school, the Board decided that the grounds must be cleared of old structures, the contractor must properly clean out the building, the walks must be fixed and certain doors changed. Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson expressed the belief that this work could be accomplished in a week. The new Randall Junior High School is also in an incomplete condition. Less work needs to be done there, however, than at the Francis Junior High School. Rev. Bennett Protests The Rev. F. I. A.

The thieves were routed by shots fired by Mrs. Gray as one of them was dragging her down the stairs. Although one of the two men had a bundle of clothes, making for the door, he dropped them when the shots were fired, and the only article carried off by them was a large cameo ring, which Mrs. Gray valued at $250. Mrs. Gray has been sick-a-bed for five weeks. She was alone in the house at the time of the thieves' entrance, except for the presence of little George Fowler, 15, who was asleep in another room. The men entered her room and ordered her to "stick 'em up." After whistling upstairs to determine if anyone else was in the house, they proceeded to bind and gag her. While one of them gathered up all the articles of value that he could find, including clothes, the other caught Mrs. Gray, the shoulder and dragged her from the bed, in preparation of taking her to another room in order to have a clear road for their search. Secures Revolver behes Being alone in the house, she had a revolver under her pillow. This she eased out with her as she was dragged from the bed. As she was being pulled down the stairs, she fired the revolver twice. The man dropped her and ran, as did his accomplice. She was unconscious at the end of her tumble. On hearing the shots, little George ran into the street in his night clothes and screamed.

FORCES SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN The United States should withdraw its marines from Haiti and leave to the Haitian people the control of their government, Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, declared last Tuesday in offering an amendment to the Navy Department appropriation bill providing that no part of the naval appropriations shall be used to keep or maintain any marines in the Republic of Haiti after December 31, 1927. This amendment was rejected. Senator Frederick Hale, Republican, of Maine, opposing the amendment, asserted that this country is under treaty obligations with Haiti by which it is obliged to keep marines there until 1936. Senator Irvine L. Leenroot, Republican, of Wisconsin, said that the adoption of the King amendment would have been equivalent to saying that the duty of this Government to protect the lives and property of its nationals in foreign countries does not apply in Haiti.

To substantiate this opinion, Rev.

Walker, Charles Spear, Porter Arthur Smith, and Charles Burrel failed to appear and forfeited their $5 collateral. The case against James Coates, who was charged with permitting gaming, was continued. Those taken in the raid were represented by Attorneys Benjamin L. Gasking and Robert J. Bowler. The House has under consideration the District of Columbia supply bill, carrying appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928. The bill was reported from the committee on appropriations last Saturday. This bill carries a total of $125,000 for the office of the recorder of deeds. Under a recent act of Congress this office was transferred from a fee to an appropriation basis, effective July 1, 1927. The appropriation for this office contemplates the employment of typewriters to do the recording on printed forms. At the present time book typewriters are used for recording in bound books. This change will make it possible to reduce the office force by 28 employees. Of this appropriation the sum of $96,000 is for salaries including that of the recorder of deeds $5,200, a deputy recorder, $3,300. (Continued on page 2) MESSENGERS TO RESENT CLOCK PUNCH ORDER MESSENGERS TO RESENT CLOCK PUNCH ORDER An order requiring all messengers to sign in and sign out has been recently issued for the observance of all Treasury department messengers. This order signed by A. W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury states that messengers in the auditor's Building, Liberty Loan Annex, Registers' Annex, Butler Building, Darby and Graham Buildings will be required to report for duty at 8 a.m. and must register at the main entrances on report slips in the possession of the guard force. These registration slips transmitted each day to the several activities will enable them to maintain a record of arrival and departure of the messenger force, says the bulletin. Claims Plan Unfair In an interview with several employees who refused to give their names the writer was told that the move is considered an injustice. There are a number of messengers assigned to offices of Presidential appointees or Officials appointed by the President like the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Treasury who do a great amount of overtime work. The men who work in these offices are seldom able to leave their respective buildings before 6 o'clock and sometimes as late as 7 o'clock in the evenings. These men feel that it is unjust that they should be required to report at 8 a.m. the same as the messengers who do not have to make the extra time and who get off at 4:30 promptly. Tardy Messenger The new ruling affects less than thirty whites and over one hundred Negro employees. Hence the iire of the messenger force has been aroused. The idea for the new order was gotten when a white messenger in the office of the Supervising Architect had been constantly tardy until one morning the Chief Clerk of the Treasury on entering the Supervisor's office at night nine was surprised to find the KOWARD MANAGEMENT TAKES CONTROL AFTER WEEKS OF NEGOTIATION AIKEN GRAND JURY FAILS TO INDICT LYNCHERS; GOVERNOR ASKS ACTION Let our classified column rent that vacant room.

COURT ES HOWARD MAN TAKES CONT WEEKS OF The Stanley-Crandall theatrical organization passed out of the colored amusement field, Monday night, January 31, when the Lincoln Theatre on U street was sold to A. E. Lichttman and his associates. The new owners, who are also the operators of the Howard Theater, have taken over all of the real estate and equipment of the theater and the Colonnade. The deal was closed Monday after several weeks of negotiating. At the time that the new owners took the house over, an announcement in the change of personnel was announced. Walter A. Pinchback who for over a year has been house manager was succeeded by Charles H. Dean's. Clarence Gordan, an assistant to Mr. Pinchback and Louis Brown, organist, along with one or two employees of the Lincoln staff were retained. The others were dismissed. Built in 1922 The Lincoln Theater was built by Harry Crandall and was opened in February in 1922. It is the largest theater catering to colored people in this section, and is one of the most beautiful. The house was first opened by Rufus G. Byars, who was succeeded by the following managers in order: Andrew Thomas, J. William Clifford, Charles E. Lane, and Walter Pinchback. Mr. Lichtman, speaking for the new owners, in an interview Tuesday, stated: New Policy "The new policy at the Lincoln will be permanent with something new and different all of the time. The admission prices will be fixed so as to be convenient for everyone's pocket and also afford the management the opportunity to give entertainment of a higher standard.

She cut Price on the head, and wl. Charles Gregg, 32, and Louis Nelson, 23, attempted to intercede, Miss Martha made it an "all-round scalping party." Gregg was slashed across the head and down his left cheek, while Nelson had his left cheek cut and other hair-raising wounds inflicted upon him.

JURY FAILS LYNCHERS; ASKS ACTION AIKEN, S.C.—The Aiken grand jury failed, to return an indictment in the Lowman lynchings. Declaring that insufficient evidence had been produced to warrant an indictment, the grand jury dismissed the Lowman lynching case when it came up for the fourth time since the "murders" occurred October 8, despite the strong language used by Judge Henry Johnson on the day the jury met. Governor Richards, in deploring the failure of the grand jury to act said: "I promised in my inaugural address that I would stand for the majesty of the law. I meant what I said. I promise the people of South Carolina that if it lies within my power, the Aiken lynchers shall be brought to justice. "I am familiar with the evidence gathered by Governor McLeod and his officers and that secured by myself, and I am convinced in my own mind that it makes out a prima facie case. The failure of the grand jury to present those charges before it must rest squarely upon their shoulders.

It is reported that the witnesses are afraid to testify against the Iyeh- ers for fear of their lives. One man aetuaily stated that should he tell the grand jury what he knew Bis ifs would be in peril It is known that the majority of the men in the mob were officers of the law. These officers who have been accused, know that they fave een accused; but they do not demand trial so ‘that they may have an opportunity to clear their names from the horrible accusa- toin of having participated in the cold-blooded butchery of a woman and two manacled men.

So that, Iam surprised that our press group has just now noticed the matter, Sentiment Not Popular “Notwithstandinge the fact that the President has often called the attention of the Legislature to this matter, no action, whatsoever has been taken by the Legislature, So that, from this one fact alone, one might conclude that the people of Liberia are not in sentiment with this portion of the President's message. “I believe that the people of Li- beria in general are not. ungrate- ful for the educational advantages | and spiritual comfort that has | been afforded them by our reli- jgious bodies here in America through their respective Missior Boards.

This will bring almost immediate relief from the terrible suffering, and will not interfere with, but wil peur, assist any other treat- ment which your physician has Prescribed. Johnzon’s Red Cross Kidney Plaster is not to be considered as a remedy in any sense for these organic derangements—your phy- sician must be consulted and his ‘treatment taken for remedying the underlying causes. dohnson’s Red Cross Kidney Plaster warms and soothes, and its’ medication at once begins to be absorbed through the skin di- rectly to the affected parts. It Beneficial résults are continued as Jong as the plaster remains on the body. Positively relieves pain. Be sure to ask the druggist for the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back.

Beattle, agricultural agent for the District. of Columbia, Department of Agriculture. Mr. Beattle had inquired of Colonel Grant what land in sections C and D could be used for gardens during this year. And That's That In reply Colonel Grant wrote him that “as already stated, only a small amount of improvement work will be possible with the eur- rent appropriations, but it is de- sired to restrict the use of this area to whatever extent may be neces- Bary to prevent interference with such development and with its rea- sonable use by colored people for general park purposes.” On Friday, January 2, J.

Dear Editor: The following is an answer to the statement of the certain “Reverend Gentleman” or maybe I should say a .“Sainted Reverend Gentleman,” ium‘nous halo and all. In his so-called sermon on “Bob- bed Hair” and “Short Skirts,” I wish to say he made very mis. leading and unfair statements when he attempted to group all ‘women in one class. It is true that there are some women whe practice sex appeal through dress and other means. We know them ito be of the lower type and canno' be considered as examples. Be- cause her hair is bobbed and her skirt is short, it is no reascn why modern persons should conside: her immodest. 1,12 speaking of women as the “tools of Satan” I cannot reall; Pelieve that the gentleman believe that statement himself, Wor thé Same as you and I, he has or hac a mother, a wife, a sister or prob ably a daughter, all of whom wer ‘women; therefore, they are includ. igf_in the scope of his statement such a statement were true, it ‘would be a hard blow at the found ations of the structure that keep: the world from becoming so de- praved that God would abandor it entirely. _ ‘That foundation is the “Mother’ ‘who first bears the child and ha: th» sacrifices, the worry and_ the heartaches of rearing a child t manhood or womanhood.

Turner, 76, of 2304 Sixth street, northwest, died Mon- day as the result of injuries re- ceived in an accident Friday morn- ing, January 28, when he was struck by a street car on Ninth street near F street. Mr, Turner was born in Raleigh, N. C., in 1850. He was one of the oldest living graduates of Howard University, having finished from that institution in 1872. He at- itended private schools in the Dis- trict of Columbia and then entered the porn, Be studied also in ‘ingfield, Mass. and later in Lincoln ‘University. Missionary Teacher In 1896, he was sent South es a missionary teacher, commissioned ‘by the Freedmen’s ‘Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church of Pitts- burgh. Later he served as principal of the Kitrell Academy, Kittrell, N. C. He then returned to this city and took a position in the Pension Bureau in 1890. During the Spanish-American | War, Mr. Turner served es confi- |dential mailing clerk to the vost- |master general and assisvant at- jtorney general for the post office department. Up to the time of his desth, he was the only colored watchman on the day force in the post office department. | Fraternity Man He was prominently identified with many local orzanizations, ‘among which were: the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Crispus Attucks Association. John Marshall Holland Relief, ¥. ¥. Wright, G. U. of O. F.C. A.B. Associations, Men’s Cliff Rock As- pociation, Home Benefit, Old Vet- erans, and the Oldest Inhabitants He was founder and president oi the Federation of Men’s Church Clubs. His Hobby His hobby was collecting and saving all of the letters and docu. ments that came into. his posses sion. His collection includes let ters written by John Sumner, A. Braham Lincoln, and many othe prominent people. "Mr, Turner is survived by hi drs. E,W. Turner, an eight children, who are: Mrs. Id: . Payne, Mrs. Ester W. Oxley ‘Mrs. Vacg A.

Everything has a cause, and if you look behird the scenes of life of one of those depraved women, you will find thai a man’ was the original cause of her being what she is. In that case do you think she is the “Tool of Satan” or the man who is the cause? There are men who are the cause, from the “Pulpit” down to the “Door.” I will not be as narrow as a’ certain “Gentleman” we both know of— has been, and include cll.

Christ said, “Judge not that ye may be judged; for by what judg, ment ye judge, ye chail be judged.” And of course, anyone who makes a positive a statement as he has, could have lived no other but a ‘spotless life. So I will only say he was not very conversant with ite subject he spoke of. ‘ ‘A person making statements in pablie easting aspersions on the character of so many people should make sure first, that he is in a Position to be familiar with the subject. he speaks of. If he does otherwise, it only shows his whole performance was just a gesture to the gallery. In that case, he ean- not believe himself, the statements made.

IS PROTECTED; 5 St. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 2— The hearing on the petition for per- manent receivership of Poro Col- lege, filed by Aaron E. Malone in conjunction with his suit for divorce against his wife, Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turnbo Malone, was continued to March 21 when called up in the court of Judge Hartman today. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 2—(By The Associated Negro Press) An attempt by Conrad Paeben, the white receiver in charge of 'Poro College, to obtain the secret form- ula by which Mrs. Malone makes the famous hair preparation, was frustrated last Monday only by court action, Paeben, who is de- scribed as a bumptious lawyer of a rather mediocre type, and who has won the soubriquet' of “crim- son neck” here, was appointed by the court when Aaron E. Malone filed a petition seeking to obtain a fifty per cent interest in the million dollar institution. He is eharged during the few days he has been in control with using rather high-handed methods in yunning affairs at Poro, bad- gering employees and- proclaiming loudly that “I am the boss now.” He orders Mrs, Malone’s car to bring him to and from his office for the couple of hours which ‘he spends with the accountants who are checking up the assets of the concern, in questioning employees about the metheds which have made the business such a success and in ordering changes: Mrs Malone hes remained in her apart- ment since the receivership and has taken no part in running her office. Wanted Formula The receiver capped his inter- ference in the routine affairs o! ‘the institution Tuesday, however [by asking. for. the fortaula, Em ployees advised him that’ mo one Knew the secret. of compounding | except Mrs. Malone and that nc one entered the laboratory excep! | with her. « | “There will be enother fellov |in there tomorrow, for Pm going in,” he declared.

Homer .G. Phillips, well-known colored attorney "and national figure, has been retained by Mrs. Matone se ‘Seroviated with Nagel and Kirby and ‘Congress- man Newton, her white lawyers. ‘Mr. Newton has handled her legal business for years, éven before she married, presenting” her suit. some Years ago against. “Dr.” Majors, ‘a former business associate, and preparing and dissolving the cor- poration, Poro College Company of which Mr. Malone was president and on.which he rests most of his claim .to ownership.. ; S. E. Garner, another capable colored attorney, has been. prom- ised appointment as. co-receiver by Judge Moses Hartman‘in. case the receivership is made permanent. This choice ended a race between a number of colored lawyers ‘who desired to share the plum and who made representations to. the ‘court that it, would pac’*y the colored people who think there is a com- bination to pluck Mrs. Malone of her holdings. 2 Permanent Receiver While many people viewed with apprehension the sudden appoint- ment of a temporary receiver for a business known to be substantial and prosperous and felt certain that a permanent receiver would be named with consequent great cost and injury to the institution, the pendulum is now swinging the other way; and the public is con- ceding Mrs, Malone a more even chance to protect herself from ‘her husband’s claims, and the: debacle which his suit threatens.

VICTORY LIFE'S LOANS ON RACE PROPERTY HIGH The third annual meeting of the stockholders and directors of Victory Life Insurance Company was held in the offices of the company on Wednesday, January 26, at 3 p.m. The reports of the offices for the year 1926, disclosed a record of progress.

Declares U.S. Forces Be Withdrawn Declares U.S. Forces Be Withdrawn (Continued from page 1) ator King condemned the American occupation of Haiti. He put the responsibility for the keeping of the marines in Haiti upon the Republican party, which he declared, is committed to an imperialistic policy in that republic. The occupation was begun under the Wilson administration. "We have in Haiti," Senator King stated, "a large force of marines, and the Haitian people are ruled by the United States. Our war vessels are at this moment in Haitian ports and our marines, with the accoutrements of war, are upon Haitian soil. General Russell, a military officer of the United States, is in supreme power in Haiti, and the bayonets and rifles of the marines execute his will." With respect to the statement of Senator Hale that a treaty obligation obliges this country to keep marines, in Haiti until 1936, Senator King insisted that this was erroneous. He reviewed the circumstances of the American occupation. "The United States in 1915, without any justification, landed military forces upon Haitian soil. It sent war vessels into Haitian ports. It carried on war against the Haitian people, and more than 2,500 of the inhabitants were killed by American guns fired by our marines. We took posses- MY FOOT SANITARIUM CONVINCE ALL T SUFFERERS be CURED or RELIEVED MISSION, 627 T St., N.W. North 5292 College of Osteopathy Washington, D.C. Class on February 15, 1927.

Our military forces occupied every strategic point, and the subjugation of the country, was completed." A Puppet Government Senator King declared that "after our military forces were in possession of Haiti and the Haitian Government had been overthrown we set up a puppet, government. We abrogated their constitution and forced upon them one which was framed in the Navy Department of the United States. We required the officials, whom we placed in position, to sign a treaty which attacked the sovereignty of Haiti and subjected the Haitian people to American rule." That treaty expired in 1925, Senator King contended, and there has been no renewal. "First let it be remembered," he said, "that by every standard of morality and justice there was no treaty. Our forces were in possession of the country. We had destroyed the legislative branch of the government and taken possession of all governmental agencies of the country. We set up a shadow government. It was not a Haitian government." "A few Haitians were put into position, but they were named by naval officers of the United States and they did the will of those who named them. One of them we called a President, and he was required to sign a treaty prepared by the United States. "The Haitian people were threatened by the Secretary of the Navy of the United States that if the treaty was not signed we would proceed to what was called the 'pacification' of the island, which meant, as everybody knew, a war with all of the horrors attending war, prosecuted by this mighty nation against a weak and feeble people. Shadow President "Under these circumstances this shadow President signed the treaty. Shortly thereafter a demand was made by the United States that the treaty, which, as I have said, expired by limitation at the end of 10 years, should be extended for a further period of 10 years. This demand was acceded to buy the puppet officials named by the United States, but this so-called treaty, which purported to extend the life of the former treaty for 10 years or until 1995 was never reported to the Senate of the United States and was never ratified by it. "We were much concerned," said Senator King, "a few days ago when it was learned that a limited number of marines were landed in Nicaragua, and there was much agitation in the United States for fear that troops might be sent to Her Beautiful Her the Envy of "There is one thing that is sure" says a popular New York girl, "when your hair is long and straight you're popular—when it's short and stubborn you're neglected." "I know because I used to have awfully short hair and the men didn't pay any attention to me at all. Then I started using Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing and the difference amazed me. My hair grew about two inches a month until it was long enough to dress becoming. It also straightened out like magic. I became one of the most sought after girls in town, with a dance or a 'date' every night. Now all the other girls envy me and are jealous of my hair and my popularity. I owe it all to Hi-Ja and I can't praise this remarkable product enough."

We seem to have forgotten that several thousand marines under arms and under the protection of the guns of our fleet landed upon Haitian soil in 1915 and from that day until the present have been in control of that country. There was no reason for invading Haiti or attacking a friendly people. No American rights were threatened, no American citizens were in danger of any harm, none had been killed and no property belonging to American citizens or any foreign residents or citizens was jeopardized."

Now let's have more responses. Everybody is asked to vote. If you do not care to go to the trouble of mailing in your votes, put them in an envelope addressed to The Sports Editor and leave them at The Washington Tribune office sometime when you pass. This is a contest to determine the most popular baseball player in Washington. Any active player you have in mind is eligible. Ability and sportsmanship should be considered, however. The players' picture does not have to appear here. In the event that you have a favorite, do not wait to see whether or not his or her picture is published, just fill out one of the contest blanks, found on this page and mail it at once to the Sports Editor, Basketball Popularity Contest, Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.

(Mail this bl FLOWERS BEATEN VERDICTS Kismet—the invisible hand whirls the wheel of fate and no man knows where it will stop. To some it brings all the joys and success they crave, to others it stops at disappointment and failure. It is doubtful if any boxer has ever been on the wrong end of as many queer decisions as "Tiger" Flowers, the ex-middleweight champion of the world. Surely no champion has ever had his title taken from him in this country by that route. On one of these occasions when the referees have an attack of color blindness and raise any hand that is in reach from their own to the head usher, the "Deacon" stands out. They have never been able to distinguish him in the dark. Flowers Gets Cheated Take the Flowers-Walker bout in Chicago, a while back when Benny Yanger started more trouble than the local machine when the local machine gun crews by awarding the decision and crown to Micky Walker, after the Tiger had cuffed him all over the place. Little it mattered what the fans and press thought or said when it was over, the damage was done and Flowers joined the ranks of the ex's. Now comes another of those hair line things out in the golden West. Once more Flowers is holding a blank. Flowers Clean Sport Here we have one of the cleanest athletes in the ring or in any other sport. One who has won a multitude of friends among his own people and the white race. Not only by his activity in the ring, but his actions on the outside. He has correctly been designated by his manager, Walk Miller, as "The Whitest Black Man in the game." Always more interested in giving the fans entertainment they pay kind mention, we feel it would be unfair to allow entrance of the name of any person connected with the Tribune.

Regardless of how dangerous his opponent may be or what a terrific blow the Tiger gives, he has always lived up to his name—aggressive to the point of recklessness, game as a pit bull, and he doesn't know the meaning of back peddling, covering up or waiting for the other fellow to lead. A real champion in every sense of the word. Willing at all times to fight, give away from 10 to 50 pounds and when he loses he is first to shake the hand of the victor whether justly or not, and flash his golden smile. It is true that Flowers has been knocked out on various occasions and in most cases he has done that which in other boxes the scribes have lauded to the skies as a fact of rare ability, coming back despite the handicap of a K.O., and reversing the decision many times by a K.O. A Game Fighter We recall the praise given Gans for knocking out Erne after being himself stopped by the same boxer. How Nelson came back and stopped Gans after Gans was awarded the decision at the end of 42 rounds on a foul. How Ketchell put Papke to sleep after Billy had previously performed the same service for him, these are incidents that are often recalled in the sport columns. Flowers is open to meet any man in the ring today in the middleweight class and light heavyweight. He still is willing to gamble that there are referees who can pick a winner despite his recent unfortunate experiences.

Thomas is only 18 years old and experiencing his second successful year as regular center on the Amateur Champion Community Yellowjackets.

FRED BYRD DEAD Fred R. Byrd, prominent boxing and wrestling promoter, of the Y.M.C.A., died Sunday morning at the Walter Reed Hospital. Byrd, well known locally as a boxing manager, wrestling instructor, and promoter of stunts nights at the Twelfth street branch "Y," had a host of friends, and was the leader in making local champions. Fred was responsible for All Jones' fame. Jones as we all know is the greatest colored middle-weight wrestler of the age. Byrd was also directly responsible for the acclaim given both Johnny Crutchfield and Kid Woody, boxers. LE ROVERS BOW TO DUNBAR NIGHT SCHOOL The Dunbar night school turned back the LeRovers Thursday night 18-10. Both teams have been se- verely trampled by their opponents this season and the result was questioned until the game started. Off to a slow start the game didn't warm up until the Dunbar center sank a field goal from mid-court, but from then on it was just too bad. Clever floor work was exhibited by Cross and Brown of Dunbar and Cunningham, captain of the LeRovers.

DOWNING STARS IN GIRLS' GAME DOWNING STARS IN GIRLS' GAME The victory of the National Benefit Girls over the Shiloh girls last Tuesday night at the Y.W.C.A. can be very easily attributed to the stellar playing of Virginia Downing, Benefit forward. Virginia or "Jeanie" as she is called proceeded to romp all over, around, and under the Blue and White guards to score 11 of Benefit's 13 points. With the score 4 all at the end of the first 20 minutes the little Green and White forward came back after intermission and caged long shots, short shots, angle shots and straight shots for 4 baskets and a foul. "Jeanie" Downing, that's the SUNDAY BASKET- CARLISLES BALL:HOWWOULD DOWNED BY YOU LIKE IT? WHIRLWINDS Beginning Sunday, Washington basketball fandom will be presented with weekly attractions by the city's fastest amateur aggregatoin. The Community Athletic Association will inaugurate 1927 Sunday basketball. On February 6 the Dagmars who have remained unchallenged at the top of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey amateur class for the past three years will be here as guests to the Orange and Black organization. This team, formerly the Philadelphia Invincibles who defeated the Armstrong "Wonder Five" in 1923 has a 27-19 victory over Mosby Big "5" or Philadelphia Flashes as they have, for sometime, been known. Championship Clash Sunday, February 13 will witness the Alco-Community tilt. The city champs admittedly do not consider the amateurs lightly. Every precaution is being taken by Judge Smith, and he is working overtime to whip his men into shape. A second Community-Alco contest will no doubt be staged on February 20 while the 27th is being saved in case of the necessity of a third game. If this third game is unnecessary, the 27th will in all probability see a strong out-of-town quint in action. Every Sunday Starting February 6 then, and on each succeeding Sabbath Washington will have colored basketball at the Colonnade. These games have been arranged for 4:30 p.m. sharp. Preliminary contests before each game will positively get under way at 3:15. Under no conditions will the Community engagements be late starting. CARLISLES WIN ONE, LOSE TWO Following the 36-24 verdict Conway's Black and White Checks enjoyed over the Capitals at Asbury Park, last week the local quint lost to both the Wissahickon Speed Marvels and Atlantic City Buccaneers in overtime contests. At Germantown the score was tied at 19, when the final whistle blew, while the gun in Atlantic City went off on a 16 all count. During the extra periods the visitors were unable to score.

This game marked the third victory of the season over Washington teams, and the second win the Baltimore boys have gained over local high schools. Two weeks previous to the Armstrong game the five from the Monumental City romped to a 28-7 count on Dunbar. Exhibiting a fast passing attack the "Ducks" rallied after trailing 7-6 at the half and gathered 16 points while the local quint was making 6 points. Five of the eight Baltimoreans used figured in the team's scoring, while Armstrong's 6 field baskets were gotten between Graham and Wiggins. Gray was responsible for a foul goal for the local quint's 13th point. The Douglass team is one to be admired. Her passing game is speedy and her shooting accurate. The long lanky Hackett with his peculiar style is perhaps the most dangerous of the Gibson tossers.

CARLISLES DOWNED BY WHIRLWINDS Last Monday night the Fitton K. of C. basketball team completely outclassed the local Carlisle quint before a huge crowd at the Colonnade, and won very handily by a 36-25 margin. The local five resembled nothing like the machine which defeated the Baltimore Athenians and Philadelphia Scholastics in successive games two weeks ago. In fact the machine was not a machine at all, on Monday night. Poor Start Conway's checks displayed a very ragged game to start with, and for some reason or other the matter of getting-together seemed foreign to them. The game so far as the Carlisle fans were concerned, got off to a very bad start. Throughout the first twenty minutes the 1925 champions were unable to score more than 3 points. These were gathered through the efforts of Slim Henderson who turned out to be high-point getter of the performance. Henderson in Form Henderson, the six-foot center, was apparently the only home-town player who knew what it was all about. A field goal and a free toss garnered by him was the limit of the Washington scoring in the first half which ended 21-3. In the second stanza Slim became an offensive terror. He proceeded to cage baskets long and short, hard and easy, but even so he could not be expected to cope with the situation single-handed. Carlisle Shooting Bad The Washington team's shooting was way off color. In the first period the Black and White five showed signs of staleness with their listless play and poor eyes. Enough baskets were missed in the opening 20 minutes to have at least kept the locals within scoring range so that when the second half rally was staged the handicap would not have been so great. The Whirlwinds, on the other hand were taking advantage of each free throw award and making their own openings for scoring opportunities. The contest was far from interesting from the spectator's position. Too big a job for one man to handle, it was poorly officiated and consequently decidedly rough.

LOSES TO FAST CELORIATOS 19 - 17 Last Saturday night before a packed house the Y.W.C.A. Big Five lost a hard battle to the Celoratos Girls' team from Baltimore. The game was close from start to finish and those who witnessed it claim it was the fastest and most beautiful girls' game that has been in Washington in the last five years. The Baltimore team showed a fine brand of passing and long shooting together with clean, true sportsmanship, while the losers' defensive game and dribbling was outstanding. The half ended with the D.C. girls in the van 12-10, and for five minutes in the second half neither team managed to connect with the basket until Wharton managed to drop one in from the free throw line. The end coming as a surprise, found both teams fighting desperately to finish victoriously. All members of the winning team deserve credit, while Misses Gant, Stewart, and Minor played well for the "Y" five. A second game will be played in Baltimore on February 11. The preliminary game was won by the Shiloh Girls team over the Howard University Girls, 19-15, Turner and Anderson officiated, and handled the games with satisfaction. CARLISLE - ALCO GAME THURSDAY The first game of the Carlisle Alco series is to be played Thursday night, February 10, at the Colonnade. On that night Conway's and Taylor's Black and White Checks will open their initial attack on the Purple and White cohorts of Judge Smith's guidance. Basketkall fans of the National Capital, have for a number of years accepted this series to be opened Thursday night as the classic ii the realm of loc- By virtue of "Soup" Turner's uncanny floor game, "Scrappy" Whitted's accurate shooting and Burrell Kenner's "monkey glands" the Alco District Champs journeyed to Baltimore last Friday night and chalked up a win over Ike Wright's Chesty Athenians. The Purple and White quint won 36-30 by the same margin of 6 point that the Carlisles earned in Washington 3 weeks ago when they defeated the Greeks 31-25. Judge Smith's charges were in very good form overtaking a 9 point lead the Baltimoreans established in the first 5 minutes, and going into the van never to be again headed. The Capital City clan seemed to have found the smoothness which has been lacking in their past games, and with this fault corrected the Orioles "never touched 'em."

They came, they saw, but lo, they did not conquer, although they gave the locals the hardest fight of the season, and led the entire route, falling only before a great last minute rally which forced the fracas into extra period time, and turned the tide in favor of the Marvels, 22-19. One of Germantown's dyed in the wool basketball audiences saw Coach Calloway's young team keep the home slate clean, while reactivating the features of the Alco game three weeks ago. "Speeds" are Fast The "Speeds," who are justly termed by sport critics the fastest aggregation in basketball, came to life in the dying stages of the game. Weaving and jazzing around the great Braddick and Davis, the Wasingtonians sent the pumpkin whizzing with accuracy through the ozone from one to another, but opportunities for scoring were few and far between. Brown and Shields who proceeded to hook the rimmets from all angles bore the brunt of the Marvel work. Carlisle although defeated showed championship calibre, and only great playing on the part of the locals kept them from taking the bacon back to Washington.

DISTRICT BASEBALL LOSES HARRIS Thomas (Mantyne) Harris prominent Washington Black Sox hurler was claimed by death Friday, January 28. Mantyne, who has been an active sandlot baseball player for the past ten years, was one of the city's leading pitchers. During his career, Harris played with nearly all of Washington's foremost semi-pro teams and on each of them he was at one time or another their pitching ace. Harris, star of the Washington Black Sox 1925, and 1926 pitching staffs, previously played with the Washington Giants, Washington Athletics, Teddy Bears, and Le Droit Tigers. On several occasions Mantyne, as he is generally known, performed commendably against some of the country's leading colored nines. His appearance against the New York Lincoln Giants in 1921 with the Le Droit Tigers was particularly creditable. Death was Sudden The death of Harris was a surprise to his relatives and friends as well as to local sport followers. Friday night about 7:15 he went to the office of Dr. Pierce on Maryland avenue, southwest, evidently for treatment of a sudden sick feeling. The physician was busy and Harris, while awaiting his turn in the outer office was taken ill. A patient offered to carry him to the hospital in his automobile, but when they reached Casualty Hospital, Harris was dead. Funeral services were held Tuesday, February 1, at 2 p.m., from the Friendship Baptist Church. TUSKEEGE DOWNS COLUMBUS "Y" COLUMBUS, Ga. 25—The Tuskegee Institute basketball team won from the Coulmbus (Georgia) Y.M.C.A. 40 to 21, here tonight, handing the "Y" quintette its first defeat of the season. In the middle of the first half the locals, led by their hard fighting forward, Thomas Williams, were ahead 14 to 4, but when the Cadets began to locate the hoops they forged ahead and finally won out very handily. Anderson, Kitchen and Robinson were the stars for Tuskegee. They proved a sterling trio and their shooting and passing, although often buried, was accurate and went far towards winning the game. T.

HOWARD FROSH BEATS ARMSTRONG For the second time of the season the Armstrong High School quint fell before the Howard University Freshmen, when Monday afternoon the Blue and White five annexed a 31-21 capture. The high school boys were exceptionally impressive in their first half play, but the college boys proved to good in the long run. Coach Burr's players were pushed to stay on the long end of a 16-13 score at the end of the first twenty minutes. However, after intermission, the game was poorly contested until near the close when the Orange and Blue tossers showed an inclination to rally, but this inclination came too near the close.

The kiddies will roar with glee at his antics. Don't let them miss this treat. Mother, father and sister will enjoy it equally as much. On Tuesday, a real roar of merriment from start to finish with Johnny Hines in "The Live Wire," Wednesday and Thursday, a good example of the old saying, "There is no fool like an old fool," so see Florence Vidor, Clive Brook, and Lowell Sherman in "You Never Know Women."

White Brothers' Famous Band will furnish the melodies. ```markdown ``` RANGER, THE WONDER DOG, AT DUNBAR Dunbar's bill for the week is varied as usual. For Sunday there is Ruth Mix in "Tex."

On the screen, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Shirley Mason in "Sweet Rosie O'Grady," the romance of a Cinderella of the sidewalks of New York, based on that melody, written twenty years ago by Maud Nugent.

This policy of having three talent shows will begin this Saturday, February 5th and continue thereafter. While inspecting the dynamo of his car , a Pullman Porter on the Canadian National Railways was left on the ground when his train started. Frantic at being left in the winter wastes he seized the hand rail of the Pullman door and chung to that rail for twelve miles. When the train stopped he was still clinging but his hands were frozen. There are said to be 3.424 spoken languages or dialects in the world. distributed as follows: America, 1.624; Asia, 937; Europe, 587; Africa, 276. Dud's Dope (By S. H. Dudley) Just a few flashes of the shows and show folks. Last week, "Red Hot Mama" was red hot, playing to big business at the Howard. Miss Gertrude Saunders and Gallie DeGaston hit each time they appeared, they shared honors, their batting average is 1000. Jesse Shipp, the grand old master of the stage managers, and one time producer of the famous Williams and Walker vehicles, was in to see me when Joe Byrd butted in without knocking on the door, breaking by the manager in the main office and forcing his way back to my private office. So I sent for Billy Higgins to come and get Joe, which he did not, but I am sure you can guess what they both got before I got through with them (white), no, no— Billy Higgins and Joe Byrd also Jesse Shipp were both here with "Lucky Sambo," we really spent a few pleasant moments talking over the future prospects of our group on the Columbia wheel, but of course, we were only "discussing" things, Mr. Hurtig and Seaman will do the "deciding." Old man Young Al. Watts is also with the show. It really looked like old times to see so many old-timers together at once, and at that everybody went away—sober. Mr. Shipp is stage manager for "Lucky Sambo." He took on a few new girls here, among them were Miss Ruth Carter. I did not see the show but judging from comments I heard from those who attended the performance, it sure did please. Now comes some history. Glenn and Jenkins dropped in to see me. These two boys (old men) are making a hit and history in Washington. They compose the first colored act to play the Earl Theatre in this city, which is playing Keith Acts. The boys tell me that they are to play Richmond and Norfolk also, and that's going some. This convinces me that all you need is the goods and you will have no trouble in selling them anywhere. I am in hopes that some of our T.O.B.A. acts will wake up to this fact and bring us something worth while. Don't say that you cannot get the money. You can get all that you are worth. Ask Irvin C. Miller. You are worth what you give, is about the way to judge the actual value of your act. Get the goods, and if the T.O.B.A. doesn't buy them, others will. PACIFIC COAST BOXERS BUSY LOS ANGELES, Calif.—February 2 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Manager Simpson, white of, the Oakland Auditorium, has signed Young Harry Wills and Jimmy Duffy to box for the wetterweight championship of the Pacific Coast, the night of Wednesday, February 2.

MASONS SUE TO RECOVER MONEY DUE Through Attorneys Benjamin L. Gaskins and Robert J. Bowler, the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons filed suit Monday against Charles W. Stetson and Harry M. Packard to recover the sum of $4,072.06, the balance which Mingo Saunders, grand master, alleges is in the hands of the defendants from the sale of the Nineteenth street Masonic hall. Mr. Stetson is the vice-president and title officer of the District, the Washington and the Lawyers Title Insurance Company, 1413 I street, northwest. Mr. Packard is the secretary-treasurer of those same companies. Note for $7,000 In an affidavit attached to the declaration, Grand Master Sanders states that on June 12, 1919, the Masons gave a deed of trust on the Nineteenth street Masonic hall to the defendants as trustees, securing a promissory note for the sum of $7,000. The Masons defaulted in the payments on the loan. On December 3, 1926, the property was sold at public auc- RAILWAY PORTERS CONTINUE FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION NEW YORK, Feb. 2—After concluding successfully preliminary hearings with the United States Mediation Board, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters now confidently awaits the convening of that body when further hearings will be held. The original hearings were held in Chicago, and lasted from December 8th to 17th The mediators assigned by the board were Hon. Edwin P. Morrow, former governor of Kentucky, and Mr. Bickers, his special assistant and an expert in mediation matters, who listened to the evidence as presented by A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood; M. P. Webster and George A. Price, organizer and secretary-treasurer respectively of the Chicago District, representing the union. The mediators also listened to the evidence of the Pullman Company as presented by its general manager, L. S. Hungerford. Holiday Delay The hearings were interrupted first to give the mediators assigned an opportunity to report their findings to the full board, and on account of the Christmas holidays. A. Philip Randolph, expects to be recalled before the board any day after January 10th. Donald R. Richbich, noted labor attorney and legal advisor to the standard railroad unions and also co-author of the Watson-Parker Bill, under which the porters hope to win their right to an independent union and better conditions, is handling the union's case before the board. A number of other prominent lawyers are also behind the Brothtion for the sum of $12,800. Out of this money the defendants paid off all obligations secured by the deed of trust and on January 3, last, rendered the Masons a statement showing a balance on hand of $4,072.66. The defendants, Mr. Sanders alleges, have refused to turn over this balance to the Masonic Grand Lodge. STUDENTS SAY GIVE ALL RACES EQUAL CHANCE Great National Gathering Sets New Record for Liberal Thought MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 2—Gathered here in a great national conference December 28 to January 1, twenty-five hundred boys and girls, representing every state in the Union and hundreds of institutions, gave earnest consideration to the question of race relations, and on the final day by almost unanimous vote adopted the following: "I am willing to give to the members of every race the same opportunities that I have." The opposite view was then submitted, "Regarding some races as inherently inferior to my own, I favor keeping them in their places," this received only eleven votes. On a previous day Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard university, had delivered an address and conducted an open forum on race relations, which was followed by group discussions in which the whole conference participated. Dr. Johnson made a very favorable impression, as did also Rev. Howard Thurman, of Oberlin, Ohio, who spoke on another subject. Liberal Conclusions Reached At no previous conference of like character had the delegates gone so far in their thinking about race, or reached conclusions so liberal and so nearly unanimous. Among the students present were representatives of thirty-odd racial and national groups, including many Negro students. The hotels of the city were open to all delegates alike and the relationships between the various groups were uniformly considerate and cordial. Other subjects featured on the program were war and industry, but on these the conclusions reached by the students were not nearly so unanimous. The proposition, "I will not support any war," got 327 votes; "I am ready to support some wars but not others," received 740; "I will support any war that is declared by the authority of my country," got erhood, including Samuel Untermyer, Morris Ernst, Clarence Darrow, Arthur Garfield Hays, Walter Frank, Morris Hailquit, C. Francis Stratford, and others. The membership of the Brotherhood is said to have jumped forward with amazing speed since the beginning of the hearings. REPUBLIC W. E. L.

DR. R. R. MOTON WRITES OF HIS WORLD TOUR DR. R. R. MOTON WRITES OF HIS WORLD TOUR In a letter written to Tuskegee Institute, Dr. R. R. Moton, who, with his party, has been on a world tour since November 11, stated that by special request he delivered an address to the people on the boat bound from Honolulu to Japan. "We have never met a finer group of people than the guests on the boat, and we were extended every possible courtesy and consideration by the officials and crew. Some of the passengers were with us on our whirlwind tour of Honolulu—for we were there only one day—and heard the address which I delivered at the Kamehameha school. When the steamer had left Honolulu and resumed its voyage towards Yokohama, some of the passengers went to Mr. Izaki, the purser, and suggested that I be invited to speak to the people on the boat." he stated in the letter. Further in the letter, Dr. Moton writes, "On the last day of the voyage to Yokohama, there were a number of deck, sports tournament finals on the ship. Dr. Dibble won second prize in the ping pong tournament, and Mrs. Dibble won first prize in the quoits tournament. Concert on Board "On the evening of December 10, a number of the passengers on board the ship appeared in concert, Mrs. Moton recited Paul Lawrence Dunbar's "The Poet and His Song." Among the passengers were a number of professional singers who were en route to Shanghai for an engagement. Catherine, (Dr. Moton's daughter), accompanied one of the singers at the piano and rendered a piano solo. Mrs. Dibble also accompanied one of the singers and gave two piano numbers." Week in Tokyo The letter states further that on arrival at Yokohama, the party was met by at least a dozen newspaper correspondents who asked many questions about America and particularly America's attitude towards the Negro.

THE SALE OF FEDERAL OFFICES The Senate Judiciary Committee has decided to recommend a broad, country-wide, comprehensive investigation of the question of the sale of Federal offices. Senator Harris, of Georgia, introduced a resolution confining the investigation to alleged sale of patronage in Georgia by officials of the Republican organization. Later it was suggested that the investigation be extended to embrace the Republican organizations of the South. Then Senator Ernst of Kentucky proposed to include the matter of the suppression of the Negro vote in the South. Old stagers never took Ernst's proposition seriously, locking at it merely as an attempt to draw a red herring across the trail. The Judiciary Committee has recommended a general investigation of the subject, suggesting findings as to what laws have been violated, and proposals for further legislation, if deemed to be necessary. The proposed investigation will not extend to southern suffrage conditions. This will be a great disappointment to a certain set of political workers, who are very much in need of such material for campaign speeches. They will probably find other material enabling them to show their usefulness as organized workers. It is fortunate that the Judiciary Committee has determined to drop the racial, Negrophobic aspects of the question. The resolution in its original form would have had the effect of carring on propaganda against the Negro, and of seeking to create sentiment hostile to the participation of Negroes in public affairs. That this effort has been headed off is a matter for sincere satisfaction. It indicates a wholesome disposition in the country at large not to be stamped by the cry of "Negro domination." When the Mississippi patronage matter was before the House of Representatives at the last session of Congress, two Representatives from that state indulged in most shameless and inexcusable tirades against Negroes in general. Now that the whole matter of patronage traffic, if such traffic exists, is to be looked into, the Negro will be given a much needed rest. If he is found to be at fault at all, it will be such fault as is common among "practical" politicians and party backers of all races and all parties. No word having a technical use occupies such a prominent place in the daily speech of all the people as the word "psychology." It is in almost every one's mouth, and its meaning is fairly plain and its use accurate and correct. In popular usage it signifies a state of mind, an attitude of mind, a bent or inclination of mind, the way one is in the habit of approaching a subject, a fixed and rigid manner of thinking, a limitation in one's capacity for thinking. In which of these senses the word is employed is at once apparent when it is seen in a paragraph, or is heard in the course of a conversation. There recently appeared in "Time" a weekly magazine, an article in which it was necessary to use the names of several colored men and women. The writer of the article being a person of education and good breeding referred to the colored men as "Mr. So-and-so" and to the colored women as "Mrs. So-and-so." One would hardly think that such correct manner of designating men and women would provoke hostility in any mind of even medicine caliber in a civilized country. Nevertheless the matter of giving these titles to colored men and women aroused the apparently benumbed faculties of the mind of one, W. C. Poynter, of DeWitt LETTERS TO THE EDITOR "LAW ENFORCEMENT AND Permit me space in the columns of your very valuable paper to express my appreciation of your very splendid article on "Law Enforcement and Color Prejudice," reprinted in our official organ "The Star of Zion," on January 20. Negro bishops are on a par with the bishops of white episcopal bodies. The bishops rejected at the Liberal Progressive Independent Washington Tribune Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY Subscription Rates 1.5.25 Delivered collected monthly career copy request. Arkanasas, who took his pen or pencil, or his dirk or bowie knife in hand (since he lives in Arkansas, it was most likely one of the latter), and wrote as follows: Sirs: Do not care to help any magazine whose managers or editors put themselves down on an equality with Negroes and call them "Mr." and "Mrs." Do not send mine any longer than it is paid for. W. C. POYNTER. De Witt. Ark. Of course, the editors of "Time," being persons of culture and of civilized disposition and conduct, contented themselves by publishing Poynter's letter, as a piece of Arkansas humor. However, in a succeeding number of the magazine there appeared the following communication in reply to Poynter's eruption: If the Negro is so detestable as to be undeserving of the common title Mr., Mrs. or Miss, the courtesy accorded all other races, I wonder if W. C. Poyter and other Southern gentlemen of his ilk can without a blush of shame, stand in the presence of their wives and daughters and explain to the world just why, in so far as physical appearance is concerned, the color line is so rapidly vanishing. Surely even Poyter himself must know that if the stranger in certain sections of the South relies solely on color he is decidedly unable in many instances to distinguish a white man from a Negro, notwithstanding the well-known fact that intermarriage between the races is strictly forbidden by Southern laws! May we ask Poyter who is to blame? Certainly not the despised "nigger men" and even more most certainly not the cowered and much outraged white women. ... Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that if in spite of Ku Kluxes and Jim Crow laws, "niggers" are good enough to be made the sons, daughters, aunties, uncles, cousins, sons-in-laws, daughters-in-law and concubines of the high-and-mighty Southern gentlemen of Poynter's ilk there should be little room for complaint from them when a few humble but learned magazine editors and managers persist on "putting themselves down on equality with Negroes." This letter is written by a plain common white man who does not feel like establishing a shrine in his own honor because he is white but who does really thank God that he is a College Product and not an ignorantus. H. KIRBY Houston, Tex. It is said that for every poison there is an antidote. Here we have what may be very appropriately called a verification of the saying. The antidote for the Arkansas poison is in nearby Texas. For this Poynter, at least, there is a Kirby. Let us trust that there is a Kirby for every Poynter. But as we started out with the word "psychology," we wish some one who is learned in this science would undertake the psychoanalysis of Poynter, and tell us in all seriousness and soberness what kind of a mind has he; what is its quality, and why it is what it is. Poynter is a type. He is representative of a psychology as to the Negro that calls for examination. It is hard to determine whether Poynter should be laughed at, or wept over. Now, psychologists get busy. THE DEATH OF THE SAN- HEDRIN ANNOUNCED Prof. Kelly Miller, in answer to inquiries about his "Sanhedrin," states in effect that it is dead; that he launched the idea without having thought it through; that there were certain conditions which made the "Sanhedrin" impossible at the time, which he failed to take into account; that the idea, however, will live and be of future service, and that there is in the hands of John R. Hawkins, an unexpended balance contributed by those who financed the meeting of the "Sanhedrin." While the Professor does not expressly so state, there can be little doubt, that this unexpended balance will be distributed to the guarantors, as a part of the decedent "Sanhedrin's" estate. Happy guarantors! banquet of the "Citizens Committee of One Thousand for Law Enforcement and Observance," by their lying spokesman, Carlton M.

RAPID PROGRESS ON THE NEW MEDICAL BUILDING Practically all of the steel construction work of the new medical building has been completed and the masonry work on the first floor is well under way.

BARRY FARMS BARRY FARMS St. John C. M. E. Church was the scene of three church services last Sunday. The pastor of the Miles C. M. E. Church preached at the 3 p.m. meeting, Rev. W. Wilcos, St. John's new pastor preached at the night service. J. Boyd, one of our enterprising business men, is building a new structure to house his growing wood, coal and feed business, on the main street, Nichols avenue. Giving everybody a square deal has made Mr. Boyd solid with all who deal with him. The fifth regular monthly meeting of the Barry Farm Citizens Association will be held next Tuesday night in St. John Church at 6 o'clock. world. For such men as these to be discriminated against simply because of their race, irrespective of the fact that they are Christian leaders and loyal American citizens is simply outrageous. The Negro is an American citizen first, last and always. He owes allegiance to no other flag but the Stars and Stripes; he has no other country but America. He is the very personification of the real true "Christian American," and yet these so-called "Christian" organizations, and organizations for "law enforcement" continue to segregate, jim-crow, and disfrancise and discriminate against him. The intelligent, progressive, independent Negro will stand for no more of this kind of thing. We are going to be men—on equal terms with other men of other races. We are American citizens, and as such we are going to contend for our full citizenship rights anywhere and everywhere. Carlton M. Sherwood is a Negro hater. He believes in jim crowing our people. He is a "segregationist." He is the same Carlton M. Sherwood, who last year, attempted to segregate the colored delegates from the whites at a certain hotel in Omaha, Neb. during the meeting of the Christian Endeavor Society of America. He is its president. Isn't it a shame. Mr. Editor, that such a man as this - unchristian, unbrotherly, a believer in injustice and discrimination, and a proven prevaricator, or, should I say, in good old-fashioned English, a liar, I repeat - isn't a shame that such a man should be placed at the head of a Christian organization to lead the Christian youth of the land? Shame! Shame! Shame! Thanking you in anticipation, I am respectfully, Rev. A. A.BROTT. Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. Cherry, South Carolina THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1927 RICHMOND VA.

Robert and the Conductor One day, Robert's father gave him twenty-five cents and said, "Bobbie, I am going to let you go to Alexandria, Va., on the trolley car. I will meet you at the station there, and we will go to Mt. Vernon in Uncle Jim's automobile." Before Robert would board the trolley he asked the conductor what the fare was. The conductor said, "It is twenty cents for children under twelve, and forty cents for persons over twelve years old." Robert was thirteen years old, but he was small for his age. What did Robert do? How would you end the story? Harriet Pearson, of 306 T street, northwest, was given a very unique Mother Goose party on the occasion of her fourth birthday last week.

Church If I had a young son I would have him merry And full of laughter And bright as a berry. I'd like it if he'd Believe in dragons And go out to kill them In small red wagons. It would be nicest If he'd not doubt Brownies drank milk That he sat out. And I'd think it best. To have him play Out in the woods Alone all day. For trees are secret And birds are shy And never talk With warm eyes by Then when he gets bigger Perhaps he'll be Eager for knowing The land and sea. I never will keep him By my side, But give him a strong horse And let him ride As far as he wants to As far as he can And all 'round the world when He is a man! —Children (Magazine) Join the Tribune Postal Card Club The Tribune Postal Card Club can be joined by any child who is interested in Race advancement.
