HUSBAND WINS IN OSBORNE CASE DECISION OF COURT GIVEN AGAINST WIFE; HUSBAND GETS CHILD FIRST in Advertising and Circulation HUSI DECISION OF GIVEN AGA HUSBAN A decision in the sensational Osborne divorce case was rendered by Justice James F. Smith last Wednesday. He held that Jerome B. Osborne, 766 Fairmont street, northwest, is entitled to an absolute divorce from his wife, Mrs. Ruth Wellborne Osborne, 1902 Tenth street, northwest, Benjamin B. Pinn, a real estate salesman, 712 Kenyon streets, northwest, was named as co-respondent. Tentative custody of Gloria Osborne, 5-year-old daughter of the Osbornes, was given to Mr. Osborne and Mrs. Maggie I. Wilkinson, sister of Mrs. Ruth Osborne. Gloria is to spend alternate weeks with her father and her aunt. Mrs. Osborne and Gloria are living with Mrs. Wilkinson and her husband, Fred D. Wilkinson. In an exhaustive review of the testimony at the trial Justice Smith concluded in a written memorandum that there was a chain of evidence showing misconduct on the part of Mrs. Ruth Osborne and Mr. Pinn. Chain of Evidence The links in this chain were the leaving of messages by Pinn at Jerome's home in his absence, the returning of Pinn to Jerome's home after the latter had been taken to see prospective purchasers and tenants of real estate, the taking of rides in Pinn's automobile by Mrs. Osborne unaccompanied by her husband, the compromising letter written by Pinn which was found by Mrs. Sarah Osborne, Jerome's mother, the admission by Pinn that he had wronged Jerome and that he had ruined him when charged with having written to Ruth the letter, the fact that the letter was written by Pinn, the circumstantial evidence that Ruth had received the letter and sought to destroy it, the testimony of Joseph Templeton, the houseboy, at 128 F street, northwest, and the circumstance that Ruth did not attempt to return home until nearly a month after she had left the hospital. Mr. Osborne was represented by Attorney Austin F. Canfield of the firm of Lambert and Yeatman. COMMITTEE ON CRIME TO GET MINISTERS' AID The Committee on the Prevention of Delinquency and Crime has begun a drive in a new phase of their work, according to Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. They have influenced the Baptist ministers of Washington to call a general council to consider the question of placing a social worker in the juvenile court. Efforts are also being made to interest churches of other denominations, Parent-Teachers Associations, the teachers in the various schools, and the benevolent and fraternal orders in providing a worker to function under the Juvenile Protective Association. Plans are being made for a Crime Prevention Sunday in the various churches of the city, and Dean Lucy D. Slowe, chairman of the committee on charitable and correctional institutions, hopes soon to begin a study of these institutions of the city for the purpose of determining how the public can co-operate in making their work as effective as possible. MORSE PHARMACY REOPENED The Morse Pharmacy at Nineteenth and L streets, northwest, has been reopened by Mrs. Aline Chandler Morse, the widow of the late John W. Morse former proprietor of that establishment. Mrs. Morse is operating the store on the same basis that her deceased husband used with no change in the personnel of her staff.

BA F COURT AINST ND GETS BAND COURT INST WIFE; D GETS CHILD FOUR YOUTHS ARRESTED IN AUTO THEFTS Three youths aged 15 and 16 were released on probation under custody of their parents by Judge Sellers in Juvenile Court, Tuesday morning and one not of the juvenile age was held to await action of the Grand Jury on charges of grand larceny and violation of 825 Section B code, when the four of them were called upon to face charges accusing them of six auto thefts. The boys, (whose names are not published here out of consideration of their youth), were arraigned Tuesday plead guilty to participating in a number of thefts of automobiles and clothing. One admitted stealing the Hudson car belonging to John R. Clark, 411 Battery Park, Md., from in front of Children's Hospital, Friday night, and after riding around in it for a short while, abandoned it at Tenth and S streets when the gas ran out. The Chevrolet car owned by Raffey S. Davis, 218 Alfred street, Alexandria, Va., was, according to two boys, taken from Sixteenth street near P on Thursday of last week. This auto was left in the neighborhood of Tenth and W streets after having been freely used by the two boys. One boy plead guilty to having been with another when the two of them steal the Nash sedan property of J. William Tomlinson, 4108 Military road. When recovered by police, the car is alleged to have contained groceries gotten by the two boys on the grocery bills their parents carry with various local storekeepers. Another Nash car, belonging to William R. Rogers, 3717 Kansas avenue, northwest, was chased down Georgia, avenue from the District line past Walter Reed Hospital by two motorcycle police who spotted the car. One of the vouchers told a Tribune reporter that the officers were greatly outdistanced and after passing the hospital, the driver of the stolen car barely missed hitting a lady and child only by running the car to the pavement and into a tree. They escaped injury, however, having previously jumped out of the car. No great amount of damage was done the Nash. Four overcoats, several tires, a kodak, golf clubs, a seat cushion and a small amount of money are among the articles the boys confessed to having taken. WOMAN STRUCK ON HEAD WITH REVOLVER WOMAN STRUCK ON HEAD WITH REVOLVER Louise Mitchell, 21, was struck on the back of her head with the butt end of a revolver last Sunday about 1:30 a.m., at 498 L street, southwest, by Thomas Lee, 26, of that address.

During the past year the American treaty officials have been directing their efforts toward increasing the productive wealth of Haiti to the ultimate end of strengthening and improving the general economic condition, Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, American High Commissioner to Haiti, declared in his fifth annual report to the Secretary of State, which was made public by the State Department Monday. In addition, he reported, the Haitian Government and the treaty officials have continued the general governing program for the stabilization of Haitian finances, the maintenance of law and order, the construction of public works, and the improvement of the public health service.

Tracy, 438 P street, northwest, became more than she could bear, Mrs. Martha A. Tracy, 908 First street, northeast, filed suit for a limited divorce in the District Supreme Court Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Tracy were married in the District of Columbia September 28, 1900. There were 15 children born of this marriage. Nine of them are living, ranging in age from 2 to 22 years. They are Olive, D; Dorothy, G; Anna, 7; Wendell, V; Wirgil, 11; Marie, 14; Evelyn E., 17; Ewdin W., 21; and John A. Tracy, 22. The paternity of the youngest child is questioned by Mr. Tracy. Since her birth he has denied that he is the father of Olive, Mrs. Tracy charges in her bill of complaint filed through Attorneys D. L. Grantham and Edaun Carrington. Mrs. Tracy recites numerous complaints in her petition. She alleges that her husband has an ungovernable temper and frequently became enraged and cursed and abused her unmercifully in the presence of their children. He called her by the most vile epithets, she says She Charges Abuses Upon her return home from her employment, Mrs. Tracy claims, her husband would become enraged and accuse her. When she has asked him for money to buy food and clothing for herself and their children, she states, he has told her to go elsewhere for support. The couple lived together until November 17, 1926, when she alleges, she was forced to secure another home for herself and six minor children. Mrs. Tracy says that she and her husband own jointly the property at No. 438 P street, northwest, which they occupied as a home. They also bought and paid for jointly property at No. 1004 Forty-eighth street and No. 1000 Fiftieth street, northeast, but only recently, she says, she learned that her husband had taken title to these two pieces of property in his sole name and that he has charge and control of collecting of the rents. Mrs. Tracy asks the court to grant her a limited divorce, temporary and permanent alimony and counsel fees, and to make a just and equitable division of the property. Mr. Tracy is employed by the Evening Star. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1927 PROF. WILLIS MENARD IS REINSTATED AT DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL MALONE CASE POSTPONED TO APRIL 11 ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The hearing on the receivership and divorce case of Aaron H. Malone against his wife Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone was postponed until April 11, when it came up before Judge Hartman in Circuit Court, March 21. Counsel for both sides agreed to the continuance. Charles Nagel, of Mrs. Malone's counsel, told the court that trial at this time might embarrass everybody concerned as "there was some likelihood that the matter might be adjusted." Edward Foristel, representing Mr. Malone, declared he was ready for trial but had agreed to the continuance. The principal reason ascribed for the continuance was that Mrs. Malone had engaged former Congressman Cleveland A. Newton as one of her counsel, and he is ill. He is to conduct the trial of the case, Attorney Nagel said. MURDERER HELD FOR ACTION OF GRAND JURY MURDERER HELD FOR ACTION OF GRAND JURY The coroner's jury ordered Abraham Somerville, 55, of 791 Irving street, northwest, held for action of the grand jury, at the inquest over the body of Herbert William Taylor, 31, of the same address, who was shot through the heart Friday night about 7:30 o'clock. The two men had engaged in an argument which so enraged Somerville that he pulled out his pistol to end the controversy. Only one shot was fired, which went through the heart of Taylor. Dr. Clarence Pair, of the hospital staff of Freedmen's, was summoned and pronounced Taylor dead. The body was removed to the morgue. Somerville was arrested by Sergeant L. Norris of the tenth precinct. The shooting was witnessed by several people who were in the house when it occurred, including relatives of both men involved; Herbert Taylor, who lives at 791 Irving, and Wallace Somerville of 1219 Harrison street. The aftermath of the crime was witnessed by a number of people who happened to be passing in the neighborhood at the time, who live in nearby houses. MISS ASKEW GETS PLACE AT SHAW Miss Emma L. Askew, who was a most successful teacher of domestic science at the Garrison School, where she was the only teacher allowed to remain after that school was made a demonstration school, has been promoted to Shaw Junior High School. Miss Askew took examinations recently for teachership in the Household Arts Department of the Senior and Junior High Schools with 2C salary. She passed both of them with the ratings of 82.6 per cent and 84.5 per cent, respectively. Miss Askew is a graduate of Howard University Normal department, Miner Normal School and Howard University with a degree of Bachelor of Science. Willis M. Menard, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, who lives at 2003 Thirteenth street, northwest, was re-instated Saturday and resumed his duties Monday morning, Garnet H. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, announced Monday. Mr. Menard was suspended February 21 and papers in connection with charges preferred against him were sent to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia by order of the Board of Education. This action was taken upon the recommendation of the committee on complaints and grievances, of which Dr. J. Hayden Johnson is chairman. This committee sought to investigate the charges. It held two meetings, but the complaining witnesses, Miss Josephine Holeman, her guardian, Mrs. L. P. Townes, and Elmer Toyer refused to appear and testify against Mr. Menard. The committee decided that the charges were of such a nature that they could not be ignored and turned the case over to the United States Attorney. After an investigation the United States Attorney advised the Board of Education that criminal prosecution could not be successfully maintained and "action along that line would not be justified." After a poll of the members of the Board of Education last Friday afternoon, Mr. Menard was reinstated. The question of pay for the time he was under suspension will probably be referred to the corporation counsel by the Board of Education. The United States Attorney based his decision upon the fact sirous of prosecuting the matter that Miss Coleman was not demand would be an unwilling witness together with the fact that the statement purporting to have been signed by Mr. Menard was obtained under such circumstances as to make it an involuntary statement and therefore not admissible in evidence. He also took into consideration the fact that a period of two years had elapsed between the alleged occurrence and the filing of the complaint. Mr. Menard was represented by Attorney Charles S. Cuney and Lieu Thomas H. R. Clarke. APPEALS FOR HALF-FARE FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN APPEALS FOR HALF-FARE FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN J. C. Wright, an instructor in business administration at Dunbar High School, has mailed a letter to the Public Utilities Commissioners and to the People's Council, requesting that they establish half-fare for school children of the District of Columbia. In his letter, Mr. Wright points out that more than seventy-five cities located in twenty-seven states have special car fare for school children. He cites congressional records which he claims shows a prevailing sentiment in Congress favoring half-fare for school children. In his letter, he says: "Children attend school in order to become good and useful citizens, and to that end, every opportunity should be amply provided to enable every boy and girl to fully avail himself of every school advantage without unnecessary interruption or embarrassment due to a pitiless demand on the scant income of the humbleest home. Indeed, one-half fare; will stimulate academic achievement among school children; happily provide financial relief to many helpless parents herociously struggling against relentless odds to keep their children in school; and contribute effectively in making the public school system of Washington a creditable model and inspiration for the nation." OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. ACID THROWN IN WOMAN'S FACE; MAY LOSE SIGHT ACID THROWN IN WOMAN'S FACE; MAY LOSE SIGHT Mrs. Carrie Rogers, 22, of 1613 S street, northwest, barely escaped total blindness last Saturday night when carbolic acid was thrown in her face. Miss Maggie Stevenson, 25, of 1345 Q street, northwest, was arrested and charged with throwing the acid. In December, 1926, Mrs. Rogers was married to Irvin Rogers who it is alleged at intervals had previously courted Miss Stevenson. Jealousy of the latter is said to have been aroused as a result of the marriage, and it is believed the episode Saturday night was enacted in a desire for vengeance. According to the story told a Tribune reporter, it seems that at 7:30 Saturday night an order was received over the telephone at Tipton and Myrs Pharmacy. Fourteenth street and Rhode Island avenue, northwest, for a pint of carbolic acid and stated that it was to be used for disinfecting. The package was delivered to apartment 702 at 1424 Sixteenth street, northwest. When Everett Bland, 18, 1441 S street, northwest, who is employed at the drug store, arrived with the acid he found the woman waiting in the corridor with a friend, Miss Sallie Jones. Later it was developed by police that Miss Stevenson is employed at apartment 701 and that Miss Jones works in apartment 702. After receiving the acid Miss Stevenson is alleged to have told her friend of her intentions. The acid was emptied into a pint jelly glass and in this manner was take to Seventeenth and S streets where Miss Stevenson waited for the arrival of Mrs. Rogers who usually passed that corner daily on her way home from work. Mrs. Rogers who is scarcely acquainted with her assailant, when confronted by the strange woman in front of 1630 S street, made no effort to avoid her. Hence when the acid was thrown, it caught her full in the face, severely burning both eyes, neck, chest, and both hands. Miss Stevenson then left the scene and went to the home of Miss Jones where she stayed all night. Mrs. Rogers was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital. Hospital physicians are hopeful that she will regain her sight at least in one eye. Police immediately began a search for Miss Stevenson, who, when apprehended: at 3:50 a.m. Sunday morning by precinct detective H. W. Smith and R. L. Jones of No. 8, at first denied the crime, but later acknowledged her guilt. A preliminary hearing Monday morning was continued to March 29 due to the inability of Mrs. Carrie Rogers to appear. W. VA. INSTITUTE ATTAINS RATING OF CLASS "A" INSTITUTE, W. Va. March 21. At its annual meeting held in Chicago from March 15 to 18, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, by unanimous vote of the Commission on Higher Education, admitted the West Virginia Collegiate Institute to full membership in that association. This group of colleges is one of the five regional bodies, membership in which gives a college or university an "accredited" or "Class A" rating, and the fact that the West Virginia Collegiate Institute is now a member (in both the college and high school division) means that graduates of the college or of the institution will be admitted without question to the graduate and professional schools of the country's outstanding universities. --- NE C tandare DEAL CONSUM OUTRIGHT S AT ATLANT DEAL CONSUMMATED IN OUTRIGHT SALE, MADE AT ATLANTA THIS WEEK R. H. RUTHERFORD, President-Treasurer S. W. RUTHERFORD, Secretary-Manager EIGHTY STITCHES TAKEN TO CLOSE GASH FROM KNIFE Saturday evening, about six o'clock, Nevada Jones, 22, and Fannie Lambert, 20, both of 1839 Fifth street, northwest, engaged in an argument. The argument grew to such proportions that physical combat ensued. Fannie's weapon was a knife. She cut Nevada in the back and on the arm so deeply that when removed to Freedmen's Hospital, sixty stitches were taken in the back and twenty-one in the arm to close up the wounds. In spite of the cuts, Nevada wielded a poker accurately* at the head of Fannie and made three stitches necessary to close that gash. Neither, however, were seriously hurt. Fannie, nevertheless, was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. HIT WITH HATCHET During an altercation on K street, southwest, last Saturday night, Tazco Holmes, 27, of 914 Florida avenue, northwest, was struck on the head with a hatchet by a young man who gave his name as Frank Green.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS CASE d Life MMATED IN SALE, MADE TA THIS WEEK The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city announced this week the purchase of all the assets and business of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Arkansas; formerly the Standard Life of Georgia, on March 16. The deal sets a new record for Negro business transactions, being easily the largest deal ever put over by a Negro company. Since the announcement published exclusively by The Tribune some weeks ago of the pending deal, hundreds of Standard Life policy holders as well as the general public, have anxiously awaited word of the final consumption of the deal which would again bring the Standard back to Negro ownership. While not authoratively stated, it is believed that the purchase price was approximately $250,000. While the terms and provisions of the sale were not made public, R. H. Rutherford, president of the National Benefit, in an interview here Monday, stated that the sale to his company was made outright and that there were no strings attached to the deal. He said that no change will be made with reference to moving the home office of the Standard for at least one year. Mr. Rutherford said, "The name Standard Life will not be used. While the National Benefit purchased all of the assets and business of the Standard Life, the Arkansas Corporation is still intact." However, he was of the opinion that a meeting of the stockholders of the Standard Life will be held at an early date to ratify the dissolution of the company. The transfer according to Mr. Rutherford involves no interest in the National Benefit by the former white owners at all. Acquires Valuable Real Estate In purchasing the assets of the Standard, the National Benefit comes into possession of the former Odd Fellows' building, including all the property on one side of Auburn avenue between Bell and Butler streets, in the heart of Atlanta's Negro business section and over 300 acres of fine residential property in the suburbs of the Georgia capital. This sub-division was started by Heman E. Perry and was one of the links in the long chain of enterprises organized by Mr. Perry and his Service Company. During the past decade there has been numerous business enterprises among Negroes, and especially has the number increased in the field of insurance. There has been a great deal of talk about the advantages of combinations and consolidations, with their attendant economies of operation, but it remained for the National Benefit to put these theories into practice in a big way. The National Benefit and the Standard Life are the first two companies of unusual magnitude in their resources, operating among Negroes, to carry forward this modern business idea to a successful conclusion. The joining of these two companies gives to the race an institution with $75,000,000 worth of business in force, and makes the National Benefit the largest financial institution of the race. Standard Organized 1913 The early history of Standard Life as a corporation organized in the state of Georgia, in 1913, is well known to those who have followed the course of Negro business. Starting from the very bottom it grew to the point where in January, 1925, there was approximately twenty-six million dollars of insurance in force. It represented the largest life insurance company (Continued on page 5) TWO BOSS OF HAITI REPORTS EVERYTHING IS O. K. (Continued from page 1) of President Borno contributed to the stability and the prosperity of Haiti in 1926, General Russell stated. Business Confidence "Confidence among business men which, on account of the usual sensational rumors which precede a presidential election in Haiti, had been trembling in the balance, was restored immediately upon the promulgation of the results of the election," General Russell reports. "This fact contributed largely in making the past year the greatest in the history of the Republic from a financial and business point of view." As a result of the visit of President Borno to the United States in last June he returned to Haiti imbued with a stronger desire to further the progress and development of his country and to make it a republic in being as well as in name, General Russell states. The Haitian judiciary system is in need of complete renovation. "The courts are, if such could be possible, less effective than ever and their inefficiency and incompetency more notorious," General Russell reports. "Trials by jury are farcial." There has been no reduction in the United States forces in Haiti. They consist of a skeleton brigade of United States marines and a mine sweeper of 950 tons displacement. Martial law has only been exercised upon the rarest occasions, says General Russell. The customs receipts for the past year were unprecedented. The total receipts amounted to $9,072,929,62. Of this amount the sum of $8,118,996,35 was from custom revenues. The Public Debt The actual debt reducing amortization was $1,384,836.90. The required reduction was only $717.218.36. The total public debt amounts to $18,849,000. As a result of the favorable year just closed the Haitian people have been benefited materially, says General Russell. They are better fed, better clothed, and better housed than ever before. The commerce of Haiti during the past year has been most satisfactory, it is reported. There has been a healthy growth of shipping entering the harbors of the Republic and a gradual increase in traffic across the Dominican border. Educational Ideas The Haitian Government believes that its educational system should be designed to furnish agricultural education to the rural and industrial education to the urban population, the American high commissioner states. He says that "the Haitian Government considers it not only essential but vital that the Haitian people be taught to use their hands." General Russell also states in his report: "The efforts that have been made and are being made to foster the further increase of production in Haiti will soon show results and with the passing of an appropriate revenue law and the renovation of the Haitian judiciary, the advance toward the stabilization of government will be most marked. "As in past years President Borno has co-operated in every way for the carrying out of the provisions of the treaty of 1915, and has made the marked improvement of last year possible. "The treaty officials have consistently, tactfully and energetically carried out their duties and the efficient management of the respective departments under their control has largely contributed to the remarkable progress which is being made in the bringing of happiness and prosperity to the Haitian people." Statements Contradictory Statements in the report of General Russell are contradictory to those made upon the floor of the Senate by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, who was recently barred by President Borno from visiting Haiti because of derogatory remarks made by the Senator concerning the Haitian president in demanding that the American forces be withdrawn from the island republic. In a speech in the Senate on February 1 last, Senator King declared: "First, let it be remembered 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 positions, 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." Senator King described the reelection of President Borno as a farce. This "shadow president," he said, was chosen by members of an assembly which he had appointed. "The Haitian people," he declared, "are in a condition of political servitude." ```markdown ``` MRS. BECKLEY'S CASE WILL BE HEARD TODAY A hearing will be held Friday before Justice F. L. Siddons in circuit court No. 2 on a demurrier filed by Corporation Counsel F. H. Stephens in the case of Mrs. Dorothy Pelham Beckley, a junior high school teacher, against the Board of Education. The corporation counsel seeks to have the court dismiss her petition for a writ of mandamus. He states in the demurrer that her reply to the answer of the board of education fails to disclose that the board abused its discretion. He also declares that the matters set out in her reply are trivial and irrelevant and that no facts are alleged that would justify the granting a writ of mandamus. In her reply to the answer of the board of education Mrs. Beckley denies that she requested the transfer which she claims is a demotion. Her First Knowledge In her letter to Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, under date of December 16, Mrs. Beckley says that she meant to apply for a transfer to ninth grade English teaching in another junior high school or a transfer to a senior high school. Her first knowledge that she would be transferred was a rumor reaching her attention on January 25, Mrs. Beckley claims: The next day she conferred with Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, she states, and was advised that the transfer would be ordered because arrangements had been made for an exchange of teachers. On the following day she withdrew her request for a transfer by a letter to Mr. Wilkinson. The board of education in its answer to her suit declares that her transfer from the Shaw to the Randall Junior High School was for the good of the service and at her request . Her letter to Mr. Wilkinson under date of December 16 is cited. In it she wrote that "Whenever the establishment of new schools or the reorganization of those already established makes it possible, I respectfully request that I be transferred from the Shaw Junior High School to any position for which I am eligible." The board denies that her transfer was a demotin or involved any change in rank and asserts that Mrs. Beckley is now receiving the same salary as before. Under the law, the board declares, any junior high school teacher may be assigned to any grade regardless of junior high school salary classification so long as it does not involve a salary reduction. Under the transfer Mrs. Beckley is assigned to teach eighth grade English and Ancient History in the Randall Junior High School. She had been teaching ninth grade English in the Shaw Junior High School. Recently Transferred The eligibility of Mrs. Beckley to teach in the senior high schools expired June 9, 1922, the board claims. She became eligible for appointment June 9, 1920. She was appointed to teach in the Shaw Junior High School September 1, 1920. On February 1 last she was transferred from the Shaw to the Randall Junior High School. She filed suit for a writ of mandamus to compel the board of education to rescind its order transferring her and to reinstate her to her old position, or assign her to ninth grade English in a junior high school, or to an English class in the senior high schools. She alleges that her transfer is a demotion. Gonzell White Praises Exelento Gonzell White of Big Jamboree Co.

Pence, Broadway, Va. "I always use Thedford's Black-Draught when I feel a spell of this kind coming on, for it saves me a bad headache. My color gets sallow at times. I get real yellow. "I have found Black-Draught to be the finest kind of a remedy for this. I take Black-Draught and make a tea out of it, and take it, along in small doses for several days. I have never found anything that served me so well. "Since I have known about Black-Draught, I have not suffered nearly so much with headache, caused from indigestion. If I find my tongue is coated, and I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth, I know I have been eating indiscreetly, and I immediately resort to Black-Draught to straighten me out."

Instead of being ashamed of it, it became my joy. Besides its beauty, it also brought me popularity. Now I could have a 'date' every night in the week if I wanted it.

Announcement to the General Public of Arkansas, formerly the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga. by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company The purchase of the STANDARD LIFE, returns to Negro ownership and management the first Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company of the race. The combining of these two companies gives to the race an institution with $75,000,000 worth of business in force, and makes THE NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY the largest financial institution of our race. FOUR The speech delivered by Clarence Darrow here last week, and published in the Tribune exclusively, has caused much comment on the various views expounded. No one event has caused so much thought and discussion as this speech. Bishop E. D. W. Jones of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who was on the platform at John Wesley when Mr. Darrow spoke to the overflow meeting there, in a statement to the press, discusses Darrow's views and the Negro's God. Bishop Jones' statement follows: "Jesus said, 'He who is not aganist us is for us.' Predicated upon this hypothesis, Mr. Darrow is with Jesus, whether he confesses Him or not. God stands for love of man, for justice, for selflessness, for morals, for truth, for the oppressed, for intellect, for humanity, for right, for fellowship and brotherhood. So does Mr. Darrow, and in these excellent virtues they are one. "When we find this conception freeing, ennobling and empowering life we know that we have the creating and developing forces of worthiest characater. Edison who denies God, but talks of Supreme Energy, means God. The man who talks of moral principles, aesthetic values, and nature, mean God, for "the conception of principle, values and nature are merely conceptions of the unseen." "We must identify God with all good. Right-acting individuals are nobler than creeds." mb.qsstasvag kemfw cmfw ycm "Must a man know, believe and confess God before he receives, revelations and directions from God? The Holy Record says; 'In Him was life and the life was the light of men . . . which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.' "Darrow is controlled by that light. I might wish that Darrow had a different theism, for positive faith in God is mightiest and more productive of good, but I rejoice that he is not a hypocrite. He rings true on the great causes of God and stands unflinching before prejudiced Christian America and defies its white citizenry to treat the Negro as Jesus would treat him. "Our race has suffered more from misrepresentation of Jesus than from any attempt to deny His Newsboys to sell the 920 U Street Announce We wish to an STAN of Arkansas, Nation The purchase of the STAN ship and management the first Company of the race.

Hours 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. existence. In this connection we have never known an Atheist, a Socialist nor an Agnostic who was not square and fair and just on the race question. White Christians preach a partial God, but such a God is not the God of the Negro nor the oppressed. "The greatest and most monumental sin of all the ages is to so interpret Jesus in exordums and sermons in the House of God, before the open Bible, as to incite and excite a nation to prejudice as if it were just—a section to the righteousness of lynching and segregation, and a mob to the belief that it is doing God's will in brutality and slaughter. "What about a Christian ministry (from which we have received some of our hardest blows), of which Sinclair Lewis says, in "Elmer Gantry" the book of the month of March—and remember he is all through satirizing the white ministry); 'Many of the most worthy Methodist and Bastist clergymen supported the Ku Klux Klan and were supported by it.' "Mr. Darrow will not support the principles of the Klan, and still he is neither Protestant nor Catholic. He is a Christ actor. "Darrow is not the only man who cannot believe in the Christ of a Christianity that denies an honest man a chance; a Christianity that Jim-crows a fellow because of his color; a Christianity that sneers at him and denies him a seat in consecrated pews, in dedicated colossal edifices which are monuments to separation and discrimination, where professed Christians are chanting hymns of love from hearts of hate; a Christianity that discriminates against men in their unequal struggle to educate and provide for dependents; a Christianity which brazenly seeks to impress upon fellow men inferiority and submissiveness as if God ordained. We will not have such a Christianity. It is rocking the spiritual pillars of thought and righteous action in the universe. "Give us only the Jesus of the Good Samaritan parable; the Jesus of the Syro-Phoenician woman; the Jesus at the well of Sychar; the Jesus of Calvary. Give us this or convert the world to Darrowism."

FRIDAYS: April 8 April 15 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1927 SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH NATIONAL BENEFIT CO. BUYS THE STANDARD LIFE (Continued from page 1) or the race doing an exclusive ordinary life business. In January, 1925, the business was taken over by the Southern Insurance Company, a white institution of Nashville, Tenn. To see the company pass out of the control of Negroes was a blow to the A. M. F. SMITH. Assistant Secretary Negroes' racial pride and the only hope of future control and ownership lay in the idea that at some time in the future the Negroes might be able to exercise the option granted them in the contract, to buy back the business during a ten-year period. After a year of operation by the Southern Insurance Company the M. business was sold to a group of white capitalists of Arkansas, who organized the Standard Life of Arkansas exclusively for the purpose of taking over this business. It is from the hands of this group that the entire organization passed into the hands of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. During the two years of operation under white management, the main office of the company has always remained in Atlanta, and the home office personnel, field force and branch office organization has been held practically intact. Back to Negroes Uppermost in the minds of those who have remained with the Standard Life under the leadership of T. J. Ferguson, general manager, was the one thought of holding together and conserving the business until some plan could be worked out whereby ownership of the company could be brought back to the race. Associated with Mr. Ferguson in this program were: Dr. C. Cater, medical director; Aaron Day, Jr., director of agencies; Joseph H. B. Evans, supervisor of branch offices; C. E. Arnold, assistant secretary; J. C. Arnold, conservation; A. M. Carter, statistician, and J. B. Blayton, auditor, the agency managers, field force and home office employees. The field and clerical forces kept the business going through sheer ability. That their efforts have borne fruit is attested to by the fact that over five millions of insurance was put on the books during the past two years, and approximately twenty-three million of the original business was retained, to be added to the already large volume now carried by the National Benefit. Consolidation The plans of the National Benefit call for the retention of the entire personnel of the Standard Life and the consolidation of all the district offices. It is one thing to see the benefits of such a combination as this, but it is quite another matter to work out a complete plan for its tests of good insurance procedure. At this point Mr. Rutherford called in one of the foremost firms of insurance actuaries in the country, Miles M. Dawson & Son and secured the services of Alfred B. Dawson himself to give his person.

Counsel for the National Benefit in closing this transaction was the firm of Candler, Thomson and Hirsch, represented by W. D. Thomson. Quoting from a statement made by Mr. Rutherford, when he was congratulated on the successful outcome of the plan, "Service to the public was the main motive which prompted the National Benefit to consider this deal." In the handling of details attendant upon the closing of the deal Mr. Rutherford was ably assisted by Mortimer F. Smith, assistant secretary of the National Benefit and John R. Pinkett, agency director of their ordinary department. Martin is Counsel In the initial stages of getting the deal into shape, the company was assisted by Attorney Seipio A. Jones, well-known lawyer of Little Rock, Arkansas, and C. B. King, of Memphis, Tennessee, agency director of the southern division of the company. Prominent among the Negro leaders who gave counsel and as- sistance is' Attorney A. H. Martin of Cleveland, Ohio, who initiated and carried to a successful conclusion the long pending suit to clarify and permanently settle the Standard Life affairs.' This resulted in a decree of the court approving the acquisition of Standard Life by the National Benefit as the best method of completely clearing up the situation that existed in the past. Largest Negro Insurance A study of the following figures will show that the National Benefit is now the largest Negro insurance company or Negro business in the world. The National Benefit now carries $75,000,000 worth of insurance in force on the lives of more than 300,000 policyholders. The total assets of the company are more than $4,000,000. They have the largest employed force of any institution in the race, consisting of more than 300 officials and employees at the home office and in its branch offices; 750 supervisors, agency managers and handling a field force of more than 1,500 and 600 medical examiners.

BETTY EELL CO., 336 Interstate Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. by Mr. Rutherford, T. J. Ferguson who has been general manager of the Standard, has been made assistant secretary of the National Benefit and placed in charge of the Standard Life division of the National Benefit with offices in Atlanta, Ga. The new position that the Na GRAY H ROSE FIVE national Benefit now finds itself in is a result of the business sagacity and foresight of S. W. Rutherford, who in 1898 founded the company and to which he has given twenty- eight years of uninterrupted service, as its secretary and manager. 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 NEW SCIENTIFIC WAY RESULTS—OR NO COST No matter how gray, faded or streaked your hair is, this new double treatment easily used in your home will give you lustrous black, silky hair—no muss or stains.

Davis Placed at Forward By Samuel H. Lacy FIRST TEAM Clarke, Morgan . . . Forward Davis, Seminary . . . Forward Jones, Morgan . . . Center Bundrant, Howard . . . Guard Wheatley, Morgan . . . Guard Like everything else in life, my All-Collegiate selections will differ from the other fellow's. My opinion is not the opinion of someone else, but I can assure myself that the opinion I publish in these col- umns of mythical selections are honest ones made without either partiality or prejudice. Pinky Clarke can shoot, pass, dribble, guard and in fact every- thing that is required of a star basketball player. The little Morgan forward has spunk, ability and brains—what more can be asked? Eddie Davis is a whirlwind. Besides holding the individual scoring record for one game, the former Carlisle playing at Virginia Seminary was perhaps the most consistent scorer in the C. I. A. A. Now the center assignment if made in Nicargua would no doubt agree with my choice. Like Pat Sweeney in far off Ireland I had heard of Lanky Jones the Morgan College center long before I witnessed him in action. I was sure at that time that the reports I had heard concerning Jones were greatly exaggerated, but when I saw him play, all doubt, as to his ability to live up to the rating given him by the public, were removed. In my opinion Lanky Jones is the greatest of all. Bundrant and Rap Wheatley are an ideal pair of guards. Brown fitted in very nicely with the big Wheatley, but just because Bundrant has a shade on the Bear guard I pick him with Coach Drew's stellar performer. Wheatley I might add it is probably without an equal in collegiate ranks. A second team with Ritchie and Ward of Wilberforce in forward and center respectfully; Hill and Brown, Morganites at forward and guard, respectively, and Trigg of Howard filling the remaining guard position would present a strong combination. ARROW FIVE DEFEATS SCHOLASTIC WONDERS ARROW FIVE DEFEATS SCHOLASTIC WONDERS "Revenge is sweet" chanted Pee Wee Covington's Armstrongnog Arrows as they gradually, but decisively outplayed the interscholastic championship Armstrong Varsity now called the Wonder Five, to gain a 37-33 decision last Thursday night in the Y.M.C.A. gym. Recovering from two Arrow leads, one 23-13 at the half, and the other 31-19 a few minutes after resumption of play, the Wonders converted what appeared to be an easy victory into a first-class extra period battle. Staging a rally that could not be denied the former Tech quint forged their way into a tie score exactly 50 seconds ahead of the whistle which ordinarily would have ended the game. Two technical fouls called on Covington resulted in the insertion of Thorne for the Arrow captain. The substitute forward put the game on ice when following Booker's free toss he caged a new looper which sent his team 3 points ahead. Wiggins, responsible for the foul on Booker, also fouled Covington on his re-entrance and the Arrow leader made good his free throw. This counter marked the termination of scoring, and the contest was called a minute later. Mr. Miller was referee.

COMMUNITY AND PHELPS WIN "Y" LEAGUE TITLES the amateur basketball championship of the city again went to the Community Athletic Association's Yellowjackets when with their victory over the LeRovers on Monday night of last week they clinched the second half honors of the Y.M.C.A. Senior League. Community won the first half in second session of the loop without straight games and by taking the a loss they made a championship play-off series unnecessary. In four years of the "Y." League's existence the Orange and Black Club has put out a team which has proved capable of taking the title three times. In 1924 the Yellowjackets finished in a tie for second place. Thirty-two wins and three losses for the 1926-27 season climax a Community record of 102 victories and 20 setbacks over a period of 4 years. The worse season experienced by the Yellowjacket five was 1924 when due to lack of co-operation, and a consequent amount of dissension, the schedule was opened with 8 straight defeats. The annual league banquet tendered the winning team will be announced by Physical Director Charles Doneghy at an early date. Mr. Doneghy was in joinl and Senior League activities. The junior loop title was garnered by Phelps vocational quint with a record similar to Community's. This young five is fast and showed improvement with each game. 1A FRESHMEN AHEAD IN INTER-CLASS TOURNEY 1A FRESHMEN AHEAD IN INTER-CLASS TOURNEY The "Penies" showed their heels to four other class teams and took the inter-class championship recently staged at the Armstrong High School. After having defeated the 1-B Freshmen, the Sophomore, and the Senior teams, the youngsters made a clean sweep by taking an uphill battle from the Juniors last Thursday afternoon. Trailing at the half, 10-5, the first year lads came back after a breathing spell and proceeded to take the title. Two baskets by Toots Saunders followed quickly by Brown's scrimmage looper blotted out the third year lead, never to appear again. Thorne started like a house afire, but in that second half Saunders and Brown were the firemen who Thorne through the first twenty minutes was all that his name implied in the side to the champions, but after the rest period "he was no trouble a tall." Considering all, it was a good game, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Much benefit may be derived from such a series. Who knows, but that next year Armstrong's varsity may not be entirely new?

As the final whistle blew, Stanley threw a long basket which made the score 24-24. One extra five-minute period was consumed with neither team scoring. During the next period two minutes passed before Forbes for the Kappas, made the deciding basket. Then, in like manner, Clark and Johnson scored. The time went out for the Alphas with the Kappas on the long end of a 30-24 score. Squat Johnson led the Kappas with fourteen points, while Hamilton for the Alphas scored a like number. Clark, who played the greatest game of his life, scored eight points for the Kappas. Traylor, Forbes and Queen played the brand of ball which stamps upon them the words, "team work." Taylor and Dezon kept the Kappas busily watchng them. This makes the third straight victory for the Kappa team, having won from the Omegas 22-16 last Saturday and coming back in the mid-week game with a crushing 30-19 victory from the Sigmas. The Kappa Alpha Psi队 received the silver loving cup for having won the Southeastern Interfraternity Championship. W. L.

LACY, Sports Editor FOUR HORSEMEN DOWN DELTA FIVE FOUR HORSEMEN DOWN DELTA FIVE Captain Dennis Simpson and his Kappa Alpha Psi basketeteers romped to victory over the Omega Psi Phi Delta Big 5 last Saturday afternoon 28-14 before an enthusiastic crowd. This game marked the second defeat of the season handed the Omega boys by the Four Horsemen. Simpson and Whitted were the entire Kappa works contributing 20 points to their team's total. Simpson slipped through Coach Westmoreland's defense to cage 4 baskets while Whitted eluded his would be guards often enough to drop in 6 baskets. Nine Omega men were used in an effort to stem the Orange and Red tide, but this was not to be. Captain Louis Campbell urged his cohorts on in a fight which was uphill throughout, and which proved too great a task with Simpson and Whitted playing the game they were. The guarding of Hill and Hinton was superb, and only Slim Goff was able to score with any kind of consistency. This Saturday the first game of the traditional Alpha-Omega series will be played. In the preliminary an aggregation consisting of Joe Suter, Slim Thomas, Runt White, Charlie French, and Freck Franklin defeated the Strollers in very handy fashion. The Scholastics as they called themselves displayed a fast passing game which completely bewildered the university lads. The final score of the warm-up was 28-8. MORRIS BROWN DOWNS MOREHOUSE TIGERS ATLANTIC, Ga., Mar. 19.— Morris Brown's baseball team came from behind here today to overcome a seven run lead and down the Morehouse Tigers, 10-9. The heavy hitting of Johnson and Credell's homers with two on featured the game. Idleit's fielding was also outstanding. Morehouse drew first blood when Stearnes errored Hawkins' bounder. The Tiger scored later on a triple by Idleit. Idleit scored on a fielder's choice. The Tigers counted five runs in the second inning of four hits plus three errors. A walk to Wadley and a stolen base gave Morris Brown her first run when Stearnes doubled. Williams hit a home run in the fifth to give the Tigers their seven run lead again. The Whirlwinds scored two runs in the fifth on a free pass to Clarke, a double by Johnson, and a single by Sanders. The sixth, the Tigers scored one run on two hits, and an error. Three more runs were scored by Morris Brown in the sixth when they connected with five safe hits, plus an error. The lucky seventh saw Morris Brown come from behind to win when Bradley, relief pitcher for Spruill, singled. Clarke got safe on an error. Then Credell, the baby wonder, decided to make up for his error and slammed the first pitched ball over the left field wall for a homer and the game. No more scoring by either was done. The Whirlwinds fought hard all the way and gradually cut the lead down to win. Morris Brown ab. r. h. Morehouse ab. r. h.

Lanky Jones and Harold Mayers were outstanding performers for the collegians and professionals, respectively. THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR By Sam Lacy This column is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Andrew Allen, manager of the LeDroit Tiger baseball team, in which he attacks the policy of the Washington Black Sox management in securing a game for that team in Atlantic City on May 1. Mr. Sheffield, asserts Allen, offered to carry a team to play for the Elks when that body has its excursion to Atlantic City Sunday, May 1, at his own expense. The Black Sox magnate, according to Allen also agreed to stage the game at no expense to the Elk management. Previous to this, Mr. Allen declares, the LeDroit management had arranged to make the trip on the same terms they made in 1924 when the team was given a percentage of the gate after transportation for twelve men had been guaranteed. The writer of this column can do no more than say that if such is the case Mr. Sheffield did a foolish thing. There is nothing wrong with the Black Sox offer. Neither is the Elk management guilty of a wrong doing. A man has as much right to make such an offer as another has to accept. There is, however, the grave danger that Mr. Sheffield has established a bad precedent. The next time there is to be an Elk excursion the manager of a club may be asked to bring his team to Atlantic City, but instead of having his team's expenses accounted for by those responsible he may be expected to shoulder that burden himself. How strange it seems that different circumstances are able to give different appearances to identical occurrences. For example, I bring before you readers an incident which was noticed at the Lincoln Colonnade last Saturday afternoon. At the end of the first half with Kappa ahead, their rooters formed a rabble, danced around the Colonnade floor, stomped and yelled to their hearts' content. This was looked upon as merely the wonderful spirit and ardor of college life. Were the same thing done at the Y.M.C.A. or at an Alco-Carlisle game the participants would be guilty of most boisterous and disgraceful actions. No harm was done, but I just noticed it—that's all. It is really too bad, for Howard's sake—that there are fraternities. SELECT YOUR OWN ALLSTAR TEAMS WHO IS WASHINGTON'S BEST? Last week, my good friend Wallie Reeves, attached to the Afro-American sports department, presented an idea where Baltimore basketball fans are urged to make selections for an all-star, all-city team. Now, Mr. Reeves, just watch my readers. All together, folks, give me your ideas of the four best players in the forward positions; the two best centers in town and the four outstanding guards. You have seen them in action, now tell 'em what you think of them. A few suggestions I might give will probably help each of you in your selections.

MINER NORMAL LOSES TO HOWARD FRESHMEN The Howard University Freshmen basketball five took a fast, hard fought game from the Miner Normal boys by a score. 28-24. Much rivalry has been shown all season between both teams and each thought they had the advantage on the other and not until the final whistle sounded did the large crowd that witnessed the game know the superior team for the score was so close throughout the game. Fast passing, pivoting and checking on the defense marked the battle as one of the best played in th Howard gymnasium. Miner Normal scored first on a beautiful field goal made by Jones which was followed by his free throw. Here the Howard boys started scoring and kept on the heels of the boys across the street so that at half time the score stood, 15-14 in Miner Normal's favor. Gibson and Young assisted by Hansboro and Trotman scored seven floor baskets in the second half that gave the Freshmen a lead that was never overcome. The final score was 28-24.

NASHVILLE SIGMAS WIN TITLE FROM OMEGAS NASHVILLE, Tenn.—It was a moonlit night in Dixie, and Nashville's basketball enthusiasts crowded the Amusement Hall to capacity to witness a championship game between the Omega Psi Phi and the Phi Beta Sigma teams which had tied for fraternity championship honors. It was a moonlit night in Dixie when the Sigma team realized the accomplishment of their ambitions and came out astride the title after-three years of vain efforts. A tap play gave Sorrell the ball under the basket and he caged it for the first score of the game. This was duplicated a while later when "Mule" Knox looped a neat overhead shot from the sideline. Responding to the ardent pleading of their rooters who were yelling "Fight 'em Sigma, figh 'em" the players displayed a confusing brand of passing, dribbling, and shooting that completely bewildered the Omegas. The half ended, 16-9. A few minutes after the beginning of the second half the score had been carried to 19-11, but slowly and surely the Omega team got together and began closing the gap. Before long the trailers had approached to within 3 points of the Sigmas and with the score 21-18. A foul try netted an additional point to the Omega cause, but the time was getting shorter and shorter. The timer's whistle sounded just before Hardwick, playing his last game for Omega, slid down the sideline and caged what a few seconds before would have tied the score. Though the ball went through the hoop it was a trifle too late, and the Sigma rooters were on the floor singing to their championship cup, "You may have belonged to somebody else, but tonight you belong to us." --- ```markdown ``` ALPHA NO MATCH ANNUAL TRACK FOR ATHENIANS MEET AT HOWARD BALTIMORE, Md., March 18.—Alpha Phi Alpha's Lightning Five was no match for the overhauled Athenian machine here tonight and consequently the Orioles were able to carry off a 35-27 win with little effort. Frank Trigg and Bundrant were the Greek Letter mainstays while honors for the club team should be shared between Keller, Simpson and Scrappy Brown. It was the latter two however, who easily outshone all of the rest. Simpson was here and there and Brown was everywhere. The only feature lacking in the play of these two was the fact that a player cannot pass a ball and catch it himself or shoot for the basket and always recover it. This was well taken care of between these two. Simpson's passes were almost always taken by Brown and vice versa. Then the recipient of the pass either returned the sphere or caged it. Scrappy started the Washington team down the toboggan when before a minute of playing time had elapsed he caged one from midcourt. Carpenter, Alpha center, slid under the basket a little later and contributed a pair of points to the visiting team's causes. A field goal resulted from a pass Simpson to Brown to Simpson and the Athenians again, led. Simpson took Keller's tap, feinted a dribble then shot over F. Trigg's head. Dock McLean broke into the scoring column directly after Simpson's feat by duplicating it, but Red Keller recovered the 2-basket lead with a hook shot going away. Carpenter and F. Trigg looped successive doubledeckers to bring the Lightning Five into a tie, but here the Brown-Simpson-Keller combination gained momentum and it was just too bad. Things began to happen so fast that a glimpse into the reporter's book will have to describe them. Here is the way they appear in the note book: Simpson to Brown—shot; Simpson, shot; Brown, shot; so did Keller. Bundrant got one; Washington dribbled down a sideline passed to Bundrat—shot. Simpson made good on foul shot. Brown—Keller—Brown three shots in rapid order, and then the whistle. The second half was a battle between Simpson, Keller and Brown against F. Trigg, but the 3-1 odds were too great for the Frat boy. Athenians g. f. p. p. Alpha . . . g. f. p. Butler. f . 1 0 2 F.

With the approach of good weather, Coach Burr plans to have his lads out daily. The cold weather Wednesday prohibited the playing of the season's first practice game, but this is not a source of worry to the Bison mentor owing to the fact his men are fortunately pretty well advanced in their training. The candidates are to be divided into four groups next week and in two days are to play practice games among themselves. This is expected to give Coach Burr a line on his men that he could not expect to get otherwise. The loss of Simpson, now in Baltimore, will severely weaken the inner defense as well as the batting attack.. The Chicago boy is undoubtedly one of the best initial sack guardians in college ranks. He batted in fourth position of the Blue and White line-up the past two seasons. CITY BASEBALL CHAMPS IN PRE- SEASON WORK CITY BASEBALL CHAMPS IN PRE- SEASON WORK The LeDroit Tigers, for the past two years semi-pro baseball champions of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District, are now busily engaged in conditioning for the approaching season. Captain Burrell Kenner, for sometime one of the city's leading sandlot infielders, has his squad out every Sunday morning at the Howard Playground. With all of his veterans back in the fold, with the lone exception of Simpson, who is to be tried by Ben Taylor for his Baltimore Black Sox this spring, the Tiger boss is looking forward to another good year. With Lefty Smith, southpaw ace in line, Lewis and Davis receivers extraordinary, Turner, Baylor, and Wiggins infielders, and the Jefferson brothers outfielders o. hand the Tiger line-up gives promise of being equally as strong if not stronger than before. Sunday morning the Tigers hold their weekly practice beginning at 10:30 sharp. All members of the squad, new and old are urged to be on hand on time. Every Friday Evening, 7:30 to 9 p.m.; gill all announcements. 8:30 th, 9:30 N.W. Louis L. Watson, director of the department of physical education, Howard University, and manager of the National Open Championships and Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, has announced the renewal of this event for Saturday, May 14, beginning at 1 p.m. in the Howard Stadium. The management is particularly enthusiastic about the prospects of this meet since, for the first time, adequate seating facilities will be available to the public. The sporting public has come to regard this meet as the spring classic and has turned out in large numbers to celebrate this occasion. Hitherto it has been a serious handicap to both spectators and contestants to have large numbers of people surging to and fro over the course, and interfering with the contestants. It is expected that the stadium will be filled to capacity to witness the performance of the best Negro athletes in the country. The American Collegiate Athletic Association is sponsoring this meet which is destined to become the official meet of this association. Particular interest will be centered in this annual event. Institutions of learning are coming more and more to realize the importance of track athletics and have inaugurated programs looking toward the development of Negro athletes in this field. A large number of athletic clubs is also stressing track athletics which means that a greater number of star performers will be available this year than at any previous meet. The management will announce at an early date the array of stars engaged to compete as special attractions. All first, second and third placers will be awarded gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively, except in the relay races, for which a first place medal only will be given. Each of the four members of the winning relay team will receive a gold medal. A silver cup will be awarded the team winning the greatest number of points in both open and scholastic events. There will be a special silver cup awarded for the special events. A silver cup will be awarded the winning open and scholastic relay teams.

IRENE RICH AT THE BROADWAY On Sunday and Monday, the Broadway Theatre will present "Silken Shackles" with Irene Rich and Huntly Gordon in the leading roles. There is only one Irene Rich, and she has been playing the role of the unhappy wife in so many pictures that when you see her gorgeously gowned and becoming bobbed as a beautiful and sweet flirt, who thought her husband was only a husband, and that a poor Hungarian violinist was romance, you will marvel at her versatility. On Tuesday, one day only, Blanche Sweet, Jack Mulhall, Myrtle Steadman and Hobart Bowsworth will appear in "The Far Cry." On Wednesday and Thursday, once again Irene Rich appears this time with Willard Louis, in the story of poor people and sudden wealth. "The Honey Moon Express" is an object lesson for the entire family. The week will end on Friday and Saturday with John Harron, Dorothy Devore, and Sheldon Lewis in "The Gilded Highway," a story of hearts and dollars. White Brothers' Famous Band will furnish the melodies.

Vilma Banky plays the role of a beautiful duchess, victim of the fearful right of the first night. The story is of a wronged gypsy prince whose bride is taken from him, and of the poetic revenge of that gypsy prince who turned bandit. When Vilma Banky, as the princess, is forced into marriage, it is Ronald Colman, as the gypsy who abducts her on another and different first night; but into his heart, even in his hour of revenge, comse love for the duke's bride. On Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2, Leutrice Joy appears in "Nobody's Widow." Whose sweet-heart was this charming widow? Weeded and "widowed" before the honeymoon began, she was the liveliest widow her "widowed" husband ever saw. Some husbands live, others die, but this husband continued to die and live in the eyes of his widow. On Saturday only, Cullen Landis serial, "On Guard" will be shown. Extra talent on Saturday night, with stage diversities daily, is still the policy at the Lincoln. RETURN OF "ALABAM REVUE" AT HOWARD THEATRE For the week beginning Monday, March 28, the Howard will have the new and enlarged "Alabama Revue." Besides the cast last seen here, there are several artists added, including the Berry Brothers, clever boys who have a briot in Nw York. A. E. Lichtman, after several vistis to New York, was able to get the parents of these boys to come to Washington with their sons. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY; MARCH 25, 1927 Jean Starr, Lottie Gee, Johnny Vigal, Clarence Robinson, Teddy Peters, Jimmie Mordecal, Dewey Brown, Mercia Marquise, Paulis and Adele, the apache dancers, Clifford and Elinore, dancers, Bill Mitchell and his pet dog, and Jimmie Johnson are still with the show. The admission will be the same. On the screen, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Reed Howes will appear in the screen play, "The Dangerous Dude," with Dorothy Dwan and Bruce Gordon. The story deals with a young newspaper man who solves a mystery which not only strengthens the paper, but dissolves the power of an opposition sheet which is run by crooks. Then, to cap his glory, he wins the girl of his choice. torney will insist upon power to re-institute erring players in the Eastern Circuit when he thinks that they have been sufficiently punished or their case warrants clemency. This ruling was put over by the concerted opinion of resentful owners who felt they had made maximum concessions to ball tossers, and in turn disregarded contracts and gentlemen's agreements and turned into whichever avenues their whims desired, mulching from the coffers of the various clubs cash tills as they jumped from club to club. However, the inception of organized ball, alone, did much to eradicate this so termed evil from the owners' standpoint. But president Nutter has brought out the On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, "Money to Burn" featuring Dorothy Devore and Malcolm McGregor will be shown. He had money to burn, matches to light it with, but he did not like the smell of smoke. On Friday night, the regular mid-night show starts at 12:15. EASTERN LEAGUE MOGULS TO MEET ON MARCH 15 President Nutter Opposed to Five Year Ban. Buck Ewing, Sought by Hilldale, is Already Storm Center of Other Clubs. By Lloyd P. Thompson The Commissioners of the Eastern League will hearten to President Nutter's call Friday, March 25, in Philadelphia. With the season rapidly approaching, there is much for the solons of baseball to accomplish in a short time. Declaring that the ruling enacted by both leagues, banishing a player for a five year period for jumping a contract, as too drastic, Ike Nutter, the new leader of the Eastern loop has already intimated that he will come out in a flat footed manner for modifying this rule. In fact, the Atlantic City at torney will insist upon power to re-instate erring players in the Eastern Circuit when he thinks that they have been sufficiently punished or their case warrants clemency. This ruling was put over by the concerted opinion of resentful owners who felt they had made maximum concessions to ball tossers, who in turn disregarded contracts and gentlemen's agreements and turned into whichever avenues their whims desired, mulching from the coffers of the various clubs cash tills as they jumped from club to club. However, the inception of organized ball, alone, did much to eradicate this so termed evil from the owners' standpoint. But president Nutter has brought out the point that the owners as well as players were responsible for the previous conditions and it is unjust to bar a repenting player from his profession as well as deprive the league of capable and efficient players. Hildales Want Ewing Whatever hope that Ed. Bolden may have had relative to adding Buck Ewing to the string of Hilldale ball tossers has gone glimmering with the ultimatum handed to the Hilldale boss from two points. The case of Buck Ewing is as peculiar as it is lengthy and may be the first important controversy that Ike Nutter will pass upon. The funny angle of the Ewing case is that the player in question has never worn the uniform of any club in the Eastern League.

Jim Keenan secured the signature of Ewing to a Lincoln Giant contract back over a period of two years, but the catcher refused to report. He, however, was recognized as property of the New York team. Then during the past winter when the Lincoln Giants hopped out of the league for a brief period, Colonel Strothers, who holds forth in Harrisburg, signed up the same Ewing and did so with a feeling that Ewing was a free agent from a couple of angles. On top of these happenings Ewing has been offered the job of managing the team that he played with at Schnectady, N. Y., and in turn has accepted same. So when Bolden felt that another catcher must be added to replace Mackey, he cast longing eyes at Ewing, and feeling that the player had turned a deaf ear to the two fellow league clubs and the fact that he wasn't blacklisted because he had never reported, Bolden then sent a missive to both Keenan and Strothers inquiring the possibility and asking permission to seek the services of Ewing. The colonel from Harrisburg promptly answered that at present he had no other catcher but Ewing in sight and he was needed at the Capital City. This ended the quest from that source. Then Jim Keenan, the orator from the Bronx came through in no uncertain tone informing Bolden and the pop-eyed world that Buck Ewing was the property of the Lincoln Giants and under no consideration would he listen to the Philadelphia club making Disappointed you want for your Fall Place Casino WOW WHILE THE BEST PICK FROM.

Liberal Progressive Independent CLARENCE DARROW Whatever one may think of Clarence Darrow's agnostic allusions at the meeting of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. on the 14th inst., (and everyone in this free country is entitled to his view of the matter) all agree, with singular unanimity, that Mr. Darrow's address was inspiring, informing and discriminating, and in addition to these things, was a strong plea for tolerance, justice and equality of right in all things relating to the Negro. His exposition of the theory that there is no such thing as race, no such thing as pure blood, that "pure blood" is "pure nonsense," was really worth listening to and thinking about, even if he had said and explained nothing else. The masses of our people need to listen to more lectures and to read more magazine articles and books dealing with biology, and other subjects relating to the life and structure of animate beings, including man. It is the easiest thing in the world for people to divide into opposing camps over theological questions. A secular newspaper, such as is The Tribune, has no mission to discuss matters of pure theology. Those matters may safely be left to such consecrated and competent ministers and churchmen as the Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, whose views we published last week. While Dr. Brooks makes it perfectly clear that he utterly repudiates Mr. Darrow's views on religion, at the same time he recognizes his services to the cause of justice and humanity. In this connection we would like to put this question to competent and consecrated ministers of Dr. Brooks's type: Admitting that there is to be a day of general judgment when men shall be called to account for the way they have spent their lives, who do you think will be more likely to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Darrow, who would have all men delivered from discrimination and proscription, but does not profess belief in prayer, or that Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who professes belief in prayer and even prays himself, but advised a brother minister who was going to preach to Negroes, not to eat with them? We will give our answer in the words of the poet who sadi: "He prayeth best who loveth best A' things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all." SEEING DARKLY The college professors emerge from the groves of Académus and LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Darrow's Speech The Washington Tribune Editor: I hope the thousands of Negroes who heard Mr. Darrow remind them of conditions of which every Negro is very familiar, enjoyed a very pleasant evening. I waited for the Tribune, the medium through which I know I would be able to get all of the high points of his talk. After reading the same carefully I am unable to find any constructive advice in his whole discourse, but plenty of things that we would rather forget. Some of our people can still be led by a handful of red beads. Very truly, OTTO H. ERANIC Kelly Miller's Article What a fortune for Howard University and a large group of colored Americans that Prof. Kelly Miller was not elected president of Howard. His latest pessimistic eruption in "Current History" indicates that he is becoming positively dangerous as a Negro publicist and propagandist. The Klan will probably utilize his artice among its moronic following as they used the utterances of Marcus Garvey. The article, to many, will seem but a recitation of facts, but its many Millerized interpretations and wrong statements are harmful. For instance—to consider the killed white man in the Sweet case as being an innocent by-stander is like calling members of any lynching mob, innocent. The answer to the sentiment given in the article is well given by Mr. Seligman, a white man, in the same magazine, entitled, "A Protest Against Ghetto Conditions." How unfortunate that a man who has suffered most because of Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON UNIQUE PUBLISHING COMPANY. the quiet seats of learning to enjoy the spotlight for a season. The latest of these wise ones to seek the white light of public attention is Professor Frank H. Hankins of the department of sociology of Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts. In an address before members of the Conference on Immigration Policy, he expressed the belief that in time the Negro populotoin of the country bids fair to disappear. "The Negro population in the Northern industrial centres and cities does not reproduce itself," Professor Hankins said. "As he comes in contact with hardier stocks and in the more strenuous life of the city and industrial community as compared to the smaller communities in the South there is a high death rate and an apparent loss of fecundity among the Negroes. "Relatively, the Negro has been on the decrease in population for twenty years. Between the years 1910 and 1920 the Negro population increased only 650,000, while the rest of the population, leaving out immigration, increased at the rate of a million and a half a year. "By 1925, according to present indication, I believe the Negro population of the United States will be decreasing absolutely, and I think that this will go on until as a separate population the Negro will have ceased to be a factor of importance." The views of Professor Hankins are based upon imperfect and partial consideration of all the facts that relate to increase of population. In the first place, he says nothing of the fact that there is always a high death-rate among people who move from a locality where they have lived for a number of generations into a distant locality and take up a new line of work. He can not be ignorant of the high death-rate among those who first came over and landed at Plymouth Rock. Among all the early colonists the death-rate was admittedly high. In the next place, it must be considered that any oppressed and proscribed group has a low birth-rate. This has been noticed among the Irish in Ireland, and among the Jews in Roumania and in Russia during the czarist regime. Then further, the death-rate is always high among segregated group; for instance, the East-side in New York, and the Negro in all the large cities. And finally, women are not disposed to bear children to be mobbed and burned and ruthlessly exploited. High as the death-rate among Negroes admittedly is, the birth-rate is yet higher. The high death-rate among them is not due to any inherent physical cause, but is due entirely to the social and economic injustice and oppression to which they have been and are now subjected. segregation, (except that he has made a good living by capitalizing it), should defend it, while a white man should write opposing it for the best interests of the colored people. Much weekly release from the facile pen of Professor Miller is entertaining reading for those who like ideas sugar coated with thick verbage, but it is mostly read by us. Writing for a fee for capitalistic journalism to subtly justify policies that keep the masses hating each other is another thing. Race hatred and denominational Christianity are two powerful wedges used. Segregation, and preachments that rewards should be looked for in heaven are parts of this scheme. Perhaps Professor Miller is becoming sourced, or failing to get fame in fence straddling on all issues decides now to fall over on the side of reactionary interests. Living by Howard University, surrounded by his colored friends, represents a soul-satisfying situation for the Howard professor. But how about the frontier colored man on the border line with the enemy who is making it possible that the Negro Ghetto district be extended to the avenues, into the electric lighted, and the good paved streets, better schools, light, air, and some of the good things yet possible? Professor Miller says that "many of us profit by virtue of segregation," and that, "we don't make a supreme sacrifice and leave our jobs of administering to the sick, teaching our own children in separate schools, preaching to them and drawing our money buu service." No, and neither did millions of Americans leave the country when we entered the various wars, although millions thought as did Bryan and Wilson that we had no place in the struggle, and should be too proud to fight, just before we all were entered in the last war. Against segregation we should RICHMOND VA. NEWS Sunday was a gala day at the churches of Richmond, each having a distinctive program. Mrs. Bessie Griffin, 505 W. Marshall street, was hostess to a number of friends Tuesday evening. The occasion was a reception tendered Mrs. Verdi Slough, formerly of Richmond, but now of Chicago. Whist and dancing were indulged in, and a supper was served. Mrs. R. C. Scott, spent the weekend at her former home, Petersburgh, Va. On returning, she was accompanied by her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Wilson. Rev. Junius Taylor, of the St. Philips P. E. Church, preached as is usually his custom on the third Sunday to the children. He outlined to them their duties to their parents, teachers, neighbors, and to themselves. About fifteen children were bantized. The junior choir sang. Dr. W. H. Hughes gave an electric lighted cross to be placed on top of the church. It can be seen for many blocks away. The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity afforded an evening of real pleasure to its guest with a scholarship "Prom," last Friday evening at Johnson's Academy, on East Leigh street. The decorations were artistically arranged in colors of green and pink. Johnson's Happy Pal's Orchestra furnished music for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Hayes entertained a number of guests at their residence Monday evening at five hundred. The color scheme was pink and green. A supper was served. Mrs. B. A. Aphason was HOWARD MEDICAL NEWS By Kelly Miller, Jr. Dr. Dumas Lectures Dr. M. O. Dumas, trustee of Howard University, gave a travelogue, "A Trip Through Europe Asia and Africa" in the Rankin Memorial Chapel on Tuesday evening. There were a large number of persons present. The program was under the auspices of the Kappa Pi Medical Scholarship Society of the College of Medicine. Meeting of the Medical Alumni Thursday the medical alumni of the District of Columbia met in the Medical School building to meet Dr. Johnson. Dr. McNeill, president of the alumni association in a previous meeting planned to call the alumni together for the purpose of discussing the medical endowment plans. President Johnson spoke on the status of the fund and presented methods to the alumni by which the money could be raised. The president then asked that the members of the alumni who have paid up their pledges go see other alumni who have not fully paid up their pledges, and talk with them about the necessity of, and need of paying up the same by July 1. The other speakers were Dean E. A. Balloch, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Dean Kelly Miller, Dr. Dismukes of Kimball, West Virginia; Dr. Wilder, Dr. Lewis for the dental alumni; Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. Plummer for the pharmaceutical alumni; Rev. D. E. Wiseman, former chaplain of the freedmen's Hospital; Dr. Fisher, Dr. Lane and Dr. Claytor. About $1000 additional was pledged at the meeting, and Dr. Fisher gave a check of $100. Medics' Endowment Dance Last Friday night in the dining hall the medics gave their first endowment dance of the year. There was a very large crowd present. The second endowment dance will take place at Lincoln Colonnade, which has been donated for that purpose, on April 1. Later in the year there will be a boat ride and other forms of entertainment. The arrangement of the affairs is under the direction of Hastings H. Huggins, a member of the senior medical class. maintain an antagonistic attitude. We need not be loyal to every tyant or every cause but we can be loyal to ourselves and the best interests of generations of people to come as many of our for-parents living as slaves kept a non-servile and rebellious attitude, even though they may have lived worse off had they been free men. E. B. HENDERSON. "Mr. Darrow No Friend to the Negro" A man who tries to undermine the foundation of your home would not be considered a friend. This is what Mr. Darrow is trying to do, undermine the spiritual foundation, which is most essential to any people. He omits the first and great commandment, and pretends to keep the second commandment by saying that he loves the Negro. It is impossible to keep the second without keeping the first. If our cause is to be championed by men of this type, we had best not have any champions, for it means only destruction in the end. I read his lecture, which contained a thread of atheism all through, interwoven with nice words for the Negro. There is an atheistic society in New York City, and I think he stands a good show of becoming its next president. Further, I am surprised at the ministers who allowed him to disgrace their pulpits. Their congregations no doubt come in contact with enough of this trash on the outside without bringing it into the churches. ARCHIE R.

SHE WRITES PLAYS Dear Editor; Here is a story about what a former Washington girl is doing: "If you would be wealthy, then think of saving, as well as of getting" was the theme of the "Thrift Play" given by the 5-A class of Fourteenth Street School, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The play is a beautiful one filled with inspiration. It was written by Miss Clarabelle Gambrell, a teacher, connected with the English department of the school. She has written several plays thus far, all of which have received favorable comment. Miss Clarabelle, formerly a student of the Washington schools, is a teacher in Winston-Samel, North Carolina, where she has been teaching for two years. I send this letter in in observing paragraph four of the Tribune's Pledge. ARTHUR GAMBRELL (10) THE BOY SCOUTS' SUCCESS By W. H. Smallwood, (age 12) Bob immediately trained his blonoculars on the vanishing men and faintly recognized Lubuar and Adolph. Turning to the boys he said grimly, "If I'm not mistaken that's our goal down there in that gap. The name "Big Star Gap" fits this place exactly." The boys all rolled over on their backs and stared at Bob. Bob continued, "Now there are four ridges facing that place and Jim will stay and watch this one, while Bill watches over on the opposite ridge and Ned you watch one, and Alex watch the one opposite to Ned's." As the boys went to their assigned places of duty Bob strode down the slope toward the shack to within twenty feet of the building. Bob turned and surveyed the only road which ran out through the bottle-neck-like gap. He dropped suddenly down in the tall grass. As he did so, two horsemen came thundering up to the shack. Bob instantly recognized his two enemies, Lubuar and Adolph. Dismounting, they went in the cabin. Bob crawled around to the back. He saw where a door had once been. It was now nailed up, and the upper part had been converted into a window. Crawling up to this, Bob "naid low." He heard Lubuar and Adolph talking. Listening, he hoped to hear Professor Warren's voice. He heard nothing that would indicate that the person of his search was in the shack. But at last he was rewarded. He heard Adolph say, "Now, Warren, if you don't hard over those plans we will leave you here to die alone!" Bob breathed sharply. Adolph continued, "Furthermore, if you don't make up your mind right here and now, I'll make you suffer a little bit." At this remark Bob turned toward the direction of Jim and waved a white hander-chief over his head. Repeating this to all three of the sentries, he stooped down and crept around to the front door. Standing upright Bob pushed open the door! Striding in with both hands in his coat pockets, each pocket pointing menacingly at Lubuar and Adolph, he shouted, "Stick 'em up!" and up went the hands of the surprised men. Lubuar dropped a revolver and before he could recover it, Bob had pounced upon it and had the two men covered. At this point the other scouts rushed in and overpowered Bob's prisoners. Facing Lubar, Bob demanded, "Where is Professor Warren?" A voice from a dark corner said, "Here I am." The troop returned to their home town with two prisoners, and a gracious old gray haired man. The boys were given a great ovation as the policemen took over the kid-nappers. Two weeks later at a special meeting of the scouts, each boy received a medal for honorable service. Thus we leave our heroes in the midst of their glory. THE END EDITOR'S NOTE—If you have been pleased with this story, forward a letter to this column, for the author, W. H. Smallwood, and tell him how much you enjoyed his story. THE END THE TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all I can about the history and traditions of my race. 3.

A GIRL SPEAKS Dear Editor: The boys seem to be doing everything for the Kiddies' Corner. I want to ask the girls why they permit such a thing to be. 'For the last three or four weeks there have been stories by boys. Last week if it had not been for Louise Johns and Ruth M. St.Clair, the corner would have been a camp for the boy scouts.

NELSON (13) A FEW SUGGESTIONS Dear Editor: Here are a few good rules for the readers to observe: EARL CONTEE, Jr. (2) By Wellington A. Adams Mr. Wellington A. Adams has compiled some data concerning the great masters in music. To try to get our readers interested in the best there is in music, we will print for several weeks—short sketches of the masters and their works. Mr. Adams is editor of the Music Forum of this paper. Bach and Handel are the subjects of Mr. Adams' sketches for this week. Johann Sebastian Bach, the founder of modern music, was born March 21, 1685, near the famous castle where Martin Luther translated the Bible. What Luther did for the Bible, Bach did for music—made it speak a language that goes straight to the hearts of all people. His name and works are very much alive today and bid fair to outlive the music of tomorrow. Know Bach if you would know music in its highest state of perfection. His best known compositions are "Air for G String" and "Sing Ye to the Lord." Bach died in 1750. While Bach was always close to the church, the footlights of the stage held a fascination for Handel. A legal career had been planned for him but the call of music was too great. He realized his ambition in writing operas but later in life he turned to the oratorio, a form of composition in which he immortalized himself, "The Messiah" having become an institution of musical Christendom. Georg Friedrich Handel was born at Halle, Lower Saxony, February 23, 1685. Some of his compositions are "The Messiah," "Sampson," "Judas Maccaboeus," "Joshua," which are oratories. His most popular compositions are best known by his "Death March from Saul," "Handel's Largo," "The Messiah," and "While Shepherds Watched." Handel died in London in 1759. (Continued next week.) THE NEGRO AS A CROSS BEARER There was an event in the gathering of Bishops of the Angelican communion in London recently worthy of record. It was the reception and treatment of J. T. Haley, bishop of Haiti, a full blooded African, who was most cordially received by the English people. He won golden honors from all by his Christian bearing. He was invited by Dean Stanley to preach in Westminster Abbey on St. James Day. The bishop's sermon was a noble effort, according to all reports.
