FIRST in Advertising and Circulation TRUSTS PUT ON PROPERTY OF MRS. WARFIELD Police are looking for Clinton T. Flanagan, 143 D street, northeast, in connection with the fradulent obtaining of a loan on property at 1901 Eleventh street, northwest, belonging to Mrs. Violet B. Warfield, wife of Dr. William A. Warfield, the surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital. The search for Flanagan was begun immediately after Albert T. Edwards, of New York City, and Lucy A. Taylor, of 1223 Sixth street, northwest, were arrested last Friday on charges of forgery and uttering growing out of the bogus transaction. Edwards is said to have made statements to the police implicating Flanagan as the real brains of the plot. The woman is regarded merely as a dupe. Flanagan is believed to have learned of the arrest of Edwards before he could be taken into custody and to have fled from the city. One of his automobiles was found by police near the Union Station. He is thought to be traveling in the other. Edwards and the Taylor woman were arraigned in police court before Judge MacDonald last Monday. They pleaded guilty to forgery. He was held in bonds of $10,000, and the woman in bonds of $1,000 to await the action of the grand jury. Secures Loan Flanagan is said to have gone to the office of Arms and Drury, realtors, 1710 I street, northwest, and applied for a loan of $5,000 on the separate estate of Mrs. Warfield. The title to the property at 1901 Eleventh street was searched and the property was found to be clear of any encumbrances. The loan was granted. Edwards went to the home of Lucy A. Taylor, and offered her (Continued on page 9) WILLIS MADDEN, VETERAN GOV'T EMPLOYE. DIES Willis A.

MALONE JUMPS FROM WINDOW; IN BED WITH ANOTHER'S WIFE, RUMOR By Special Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Aaron E. Malone, principal in the divorce and receivership suits against Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone, founder of Poro College, jumped head foremost through a window Monday, April 4, at the house in which he is staying since his estrangement from his wife. It is rumored that he was in bed with another man's wife, and when he overslept himself, he was surprised, and went out thru the window in his pajamas, breaking the glass and taking the sash with him. The woman is said to be the wife of a prominent professor in the public schools of St. Louis. The opinion is prevalent in some quarters, however, that the story is a frame-up to claim in the trial that Mr. Malone is demented. Such a claim could be introduced in the defense to show why he should not receive fifty per cent of the assets of Poro College, which he claims in the receivership suit. Nervous from Worry He was taken to the police station with his head bandaged up, charged with destruction of property. A friend explained to the police that he was "just a bit nervous about Poro College." Robert C. Jackson, the friend with whom Mr. Malone is staying, and whose window was demolished by the leap, refused to press the charge. Mr. Jackson is credited with the statement that "the protracted legal wrangle is making Malone just a bit nervous." No serious injury resulted from the leap, according to the report of Dr. J. Graham, physician at City Hospital No. 2. Mr. Malone later went to St (Continued on page 9) --- Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY REALTY $45,000 REAL ESTATE DEAL 1804 New Hampshire Avenue DR.

IPS FROM BED WITH WIFE, RUMOR TWO BROTHERS WILL APPEAL WELLS CASE The case involving the will of Mrs. Victoria Wells, who died June 1, 1926, will be carried to the court of appeals by William (Long Shot Red) Wells and his brother Alphonso Wells, in an effort to have the decision handed down in Justice McCoy's court favoring their sister, Mrs. Gertrude Wells Perry, reversed. In a statement to the Tribune this week, William Wells said: "My brother and I tied up the property of our mother's at 35 P street, northeast, by taking the will case to the court of appeals. Right after the court decided in our sister's favor, she in company with three policemen, and a carpenter, went over to our mother's home where we both have continued to stay, and put padlocks on all of the doors, so that when we came home, we could not get inside of the house. We had to get quarters for the night with our friends until the next morning. I called at the law office of our attorneys, James A. O'Shea, Burnett and Goldstein, and explained the situation to them. They, in turn, went over to the court and saw that Miss Wells had taken the law in her owns hands, thinking that we had stopped fighting for our rights."

He received first-aid treatment by Dr. George Brown, an interne in the hospital. Dr. T. Edward Jones, assistant surgeon of the hospital, was summoned and the patient was placed upon the operating table at 9:15. The operation required 15 minutes to complete. Two ribs were resected and the heart was exposed and found to be bleeding profusely. Examination revealed a punctured wound into the pericardium, which is the covering membrane of the heart. The patient was placed under general anesthesia and the pericardium was sutured between the heart beats. The patient's condition after operation was reported as favorable and he is expected to recover. Dr. Jones was assisted in the operation by Dr. Simeon L.

It was performed by Dr. Sowers about ten years ago. TEACHER WILL BE TRIED FOR THROWING OF ACID: MENARD SEEKS BACK PAY Miss Ardella G. Parks, a teacher in the Mott School, who is under suspension, will be tried on charges or remand and commute, the Board of Education decided in its meeting in the Franklin School building last Wednesday afternoon. In a communication to the board Miss Parks requested her restatement to her former position or a trial in accordance with the rules of the board. Her plea for lifting of the suspension was denied, but it was voted that she should he given a trial. Miss Parks declared in her letter asking for revocation of the suspension order or a trial that she had never been presented with a copy of any charges preferred against her, that she had never been called before the board or any of its committees in connection with any charges against her, and that she had no knowledge or information of any charges having been preferred against her. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, stated that he had had a lengthy conference with Miss Parks prior to her suspension. Arthur James, in whose face Miss Parks is alleged to have thrown an acid, has contented himself up to the present time, Charles F. Carusi, president of the board, said in discussing the case, with writing somewhat cryptic letters to the effect that he had no charges to make and that he was not making any complaint. He has never come forward, declared Mr. Carusi, and stated that the alleged offense did not happen. A statement defining the position of the board in dealing with such cases was issued by Mr. Carusi. It had the approval of the board. It is as follows: "From a number of cases which have come to the attention of the Board of Education of alleged misconduct on the part of teachers and of public scandal in connection therewith, it is apparent that the impression prevails to some extent that the Board of Education cannot or will not act in suspending or permanently removing teachers unless the injured party is willing to come forward and prosecute a complaint. "Such is not the case. The first duty of the Board of Education is toward the children, whose morals will be seriously injured if they are forced to continue under a teacher who is publicly reported to have been guilty of misconduct, and the protection of the children cannot depend upon the willingness or unwillingness of the injured party to come forward. "Unbiased Discretion "The Board of Education does not act as a court, but is obliged to use its unbiased discretion upon the best evidence which it may be able to secure and in case of serious doubt to resolve that doubt in favor of the children.

Marked increase in mob murders during the last year was a great shock to the churches in their campaign for a lynchless land, according to a statement accompanying the honor roll of states free from lynchings in 1926, made public today. This is the fifth annual honor roll issued by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. A direct challenge to redoubled efforts to arouse public opinion against lynching, is the way church leaders sum up the situation. “五 states formerly on the honor roll had to be removed this year because of the re-appearance of mob murder within their borders,” says the report—accompanying the honor roll. “One of these states, New Mexico, has had a record of no lynching for a period of ten years preceding.” The four other states which were free of the evil in 1925, but which lost their places on the roll because of lynchings during 1926, are Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.” “Lynchless Land” “The year 1926 was a great shock in the campaign of the churches to make America a lynchless land,” according to a statement made by Rev.

After confirmation by the Senate, Mr. Carter, who has been in the consular service for 20 years, declined the post of United States minister resident and consul general to Liberia. The State Department continued him in the consular service and transferred him from Tamanarive, Madagascar, to Calais, the French seaport on the English Channel, facing Dover. Mr. Carter states that for reasons of health for himself and family it was thought best not to return immediately to the tropics and he therefore declined the Liberian post. He has lived in the tropics for the past 20 years.

Owens, of 1406 Girard street, northwest, Wednesday in a suit in circuit court, is asked to pay $10,000 damages for the alleged mistake of thinking that Marshall Fletcher, of Chevy Chase, Md., laughed at him on March 11 last while he was directing traffic at McKinley street and Connecticut avenue, northwest. Through Attorney Fred B. Rhodes the plaintiff says that Owens's mistake resulted in his arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct, together with a charge of assaulting Owens. Race prejudices in the courts was dealt a blow Friday, April 1, when Judge Schaldt exonerated Marshall Fletcher, 4 West Irving street, Chevy Chase, Md., on a charge of disorderly conduct. The youth, who is employed by Captain Frederick Koppen, had been found guilty by Judge Hitt and fined $25 on charges of assaulting a policeman and disorderly conduct. This decision of Judge Hitt was such a miscarriage of justice that Attorney Fred B. Rhodes made a motion for a new trial, charging race prejudice. Judge Hitt allowed the motion, dismissed the assault case and certified the disorderly conduct case for trial before Judge Schaldt. The testimony showed that Fletcher, a one-armed youth, was waiting for a bus at Connecticut avenue and McKinley street. Policeman F. B. Owens was directing traffic at this corner. Some other boys in a Ford automobile were passing and made a remark to Fletcher, who laughed. Policeman Owens went over to where Fletcher was standing and wanted to know at what he was laughing. The boy told him. The policeman cursed him and rushed him across the street to the box. Three experts in the research bureau of the Agricultural Department saw the incident and remonstrated with the officer because of his treatment of the boy. The policeman charged the boy with assault and disorderly conduct. At both trials these experts voluntarily came into court and testified in behalf of Fletcher. His employer, Captain Koppen, and his niece were also present. Attorney Rhodes represented Fletcher at both trials.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS CHARGE ATED WHO BRUTALLY N AND CHILD POLICE JUDGE Through the failure of Judge McDonald and Assistant United State Attorney Ralph Givens to do their duty, C. E. Garry, white policeman, who terrorized residents in Linden court, northeast, was acquitted of charges of drunkenness and assault in police court Wednesday afternoon. Notwithstanding that the evidence showed that Garry was drunk and that he assaulted Mr. Josephine White, 1309 Linden court, Judge MacDonald found him not guilty and dismissed the charges against him. Assistant United States Attorney Givens, who had promised personally to persecute the case, found it expedient to be otherwise engaged and assigned Assistant United States Attorney Joseph C. Bruce, one of the youngest and most inexperienced lawyers in the office of the United States Attorney, to the trial of the case. Bruce was not familiar with the case. The trial was a farce. Liquor Breath Several witnesses testified that the policeman on March 22, about 3:20 p.m., entered Linden Court, assulted Mrs. White and her 15 months old baby and terrorized the whole neighborhood. Sergeant Coleman R. Brown, who arrested Garry and relieved him of duty, testified that he smelled liquor on the breath of Garry at that time. Several policemen swore that Garry was not under the influence of liquor, and a number of lawyers testified as character witness in his behalf. Garry himself stated that he went into Linden court to aid white man whom, he declared, was being attacked by over twenty-five Negroes. When he reached the scene, Mrs. White, according to his testimony, assulted him. After a few brief remarks Judge McDonald closed the case by saying, "I wish to commend Mr. Bruce (the prosecuting attorney) on the mighty fair way with which he presented this case. Both charges are dismissed." URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING AT ST.LOUIS,MO. ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The Sixteenth Annual Conference of the National Urban League was held here from March 29 to April 2. Delegates from all over the country attended the conference. The meetings were held in the People's Finance Building, the Central Baptist Church, Sheldon Memorial Church, and Lane Tabernacle Church. The conference subject was "Readjustment of Social Programs in the Light of Social Research." Particular interest was devoted to discussion on "The Negro Family," from the point of view of health, case work and migration. Lloyd Garrison, treasurer of the National Urban League, and great grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, famous liberator, spoke as an interpreter of the younger generation of white persons who were interested in the problems of the Negro.

Washington, th founder of the league, which wa: founded on April 5. The Busines League, 2s it has come to be \4mown, is almost twenty-sever Years old. It was organized bs | Dr. Washington in Boston, Massa- | chusetis, in August, 1900. An extract from the address which Dr. Washington made at that time has as much significance and application for the present day | as it had for that day, He said thens yj ‘This organization does not over- Took the fact that mere material possessions are not, and should not made, the chief end of life, but should be made a means of aid- jing us in securing our rightful place as citizens, and of enlarging our eco for securing that education and development which enhance our usefulness and produce that tenderness and good- | ness of heart which will make us live for the benefit of our fellow- /men, and for the promotion ef our country’s highest welfare. No higher view of the nature and fonction of true business was ever voiced. Condensed into one short sentence, what Dr. Washing- ton was saying is this: “Business is @ social service, and he who enters upon a business career "should have the equipment, the out- look and the high aspiration of an3 other social worker.” , ‘This thought needs to be spread abroad, reiterated and emphasized throughout the borders of the race ‘The individual who goes into busi- ness is doing something for the community which the community stands in need of, and must have In whichever of the hundreds of forms which business assumes, in engaging to-furnish to the public some article or service, the busi- ness man is ministering to the pub- lic as certainly and surely as the tiergyman, the lawyer, the physi- cian or the teacher. Some are paid by salaries, and others by fees, The business man is paid in the form of legitimate profit, which is nothing more than a form of fee or salary, But all the same he is rendering a social service; and if his rewards are sometime: larger than'the rewards that come to those who receive salaries an¢ fees, it is because his serviees ar ‘mere constantly in demand, and the public truly” needs him not only “every hour,” but many times “every hour.” “The progress of the race in busi. ness during the past quarter of ‘a century has been striking and ‘satisfactory.

While the Busi- ness League has not been the only agency which has brought | about this happy situation, it has been an immediate, insistent and untiring agent, It has done a nec- essary Work and has done it well. Its task is not finished. Its mis- sion in the past has been inspira- tional; that feature of its work must be continued, Business men heed to realize more and more that they are public servants, and the Negro public needs to understand that it is not only a choice but a @aty to support this particular class of public servants, namely: the Negro business men, ‘The Negro probably knows less Jebout economics which is at the ase of all business relationships than any other group of equal size in the United States; that is why it is necessary to uphold and support the Negro in business at every turn in the road.

There was no rioting notwithstanding the mean and contemptible appeals made to race and sectarian intolerance. ‘Much of the spirit of race hatred ‘and sectarian narrowness that ex- ‘ists in this country is due to the amount of space that the daily press devotes to it in its news col- umns, The news articles are so composed as to indicate sympathy with these unworthy feelings, Much of our legislation and the decisions of courts are contami- nated with distinctions of race, Our immigration and naturalization Jaws are shot through and through with distinctions of race. When we get outside of statutory law we find custom and administrative Practice made the basis for all sotts of discriminations and pro- scriptions as to race. In more than half the States the so-called sacred institution of marriage is adulterated with racial antipathy. Naturally, distinctions based up- on race, and not upon “sense and worth” are odious, and produce a sense of irritation and resentment in self-respecting peoples against whom they are leveled. They tend to produce national discord and un- rest, It is unreasonable to presume that any normal human being, Possessing the merest elements of civilization would endure being dis- criminated against on account of his race alone, without, at least, moral and intellectual revolt. It is a matter of experience that even peoples called savages manifest displeasure at such distinctions and the injustices resulting from them.

The eases were tried be fore Judge McDonald in policc court, ‘The evidence in the case involv- ing the charge of drunkenness it is said, was not particularly strong, the witnesses testifying with evident reluctance. ‘The evi. dence in the assault case wa: strong and conclusive, there being five witnesses testifying to the facts constituting the assault or Mrs. White by Officer Garry. The officer testified in his own behalf but had no witnesses to support his story of the affair, Those who attended the trial state that the representative of the district attorney's office wh conducted the prosecution was not prepared, and that the prose- ution, such as it was, was a mere gesture, 2 colorable and perfune- tory going through the forms of proseeution, The judge chose tc accept the officer's statement, rath. er.than the testimony of the five witnesses, and discharged the of. ficer.

What a pity that no Southern musician of the early nineteenth century found it worth while to investigate them and write about them, while they were still young, when, doubtless, it would have been quite feasible to collect authentic testimony as to the origin of many of them, “In the absence of such testi- mony, two rival theories have both found staunch defenders. The one holds that words, rhythm and music are purely a Negro product; the other that the music, at least, is borrowed from white sources, though often altered or adapted. As to the rhythms, not only of the Negro songs but also of modern ragtime and jazz, there is no doubt that they can be traced directly to the drums of black Africa’— (Musical Courier.) This article appears as a part of a chapter in Mr. Osgood’s book, ‘So This is Jazz? which was published last October. It is copyrighted. “The late Henry Edward Kreh- Bie author of ‘Afro-American Folk Songs’ is commented on as follows: ‘He writes learnedly of modes, offers comparison of the Negro song with the folk songs of other races, and gives a table of ten or a dozen examples of genuine ‘themes and tunes from African Negro tribes.” ‘The question of jazz in the Negro spirituals is discussed at length but our article will deal in partiey- lar with that of the origin of the Negro spiritual. James Weldon Johnson (joint author with J. Rosamnod Johnson of the book “American Negro Spirituals ”)is quoted as follows: “What led to this advance by the American Negro beyond his primi- tive music? It was because at the precise and psychic moment there was blown through or fused into form of primitive African music.” the spirit of Christianity. .... through a necessarily modified form of primitive African music.’ ‘The article at length endeavors to show the close connection be- tween jazz and spirituals since their rhythm seems almost identi- eal in many ways. True, both are emotional in character, but one is that of material emotion and the other of spiritual, therefore we cannot associate the two in the same category. We do believe however that the rhythmic charac- ter of both jazz and spiritual is distinctly original in character, and that it is of Negro nativity— in- born and natural to his nature or make-up. H. L. Mencken, editor of “Amer- ican Mercury,” is quoted as say- ing, “The spirituals are commonly called folk song—well that’s just what they are—spirituals, literally forged of sorrow in the heat of religious fervor.” (The latter a quotation from Johnson’s book.) ‘The editor of “Musical Courier” has this to say: “The spirituals have great vogue to-day, one that is hardly justified by the aesthetic value of any except a very smail group of them. No doubt it is their novelty and effectiveness, when properly sung, that accounts for their popularity, rather than the material itself.” ‘The statement further reads that “deaconed songs” is a good proof of the African descent of the spir- ituals, for this simple form is found in the tribal tales and songs of such African folk as the Bornou and the Bantu, ‘The educational aspect of the above article is notably evident and we gladly present it for the in- farmatinn af the nohiic. eyes, The Ford slant appears in the references to Senator Reed, who is unduly magnified, to Mr. Gallagher, of Sapiro’s ‘counsel, who, if one relies on the Associ- ated Press accounts, is without distinguished qualities. So far as the news source of most newspa- per readers is concerned, Mr. Sa- piro is not getting an even break with Mr, Pied. _ THE" WASHINGTON’ TRIBUNE FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 192’ LETTERS TO THE rt IDDIES’ ew ee a ee ee It is indeed ver members of our group should hee any feelings but those of gratitude for Clarence Darrow, the note criminal lawyer, and champion of the oppressed. ‘But this seems t ‘be the case, from the many eri. ticisms we read concerning his re.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE MUSIC MASTERS 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 wil print for several weeks—short sketches of the masters and their works, Mr. Adam’s sketches have al- ready dealt with Bach, Handel, Haydn and Mozart. Schubert Schubert struck a new note in music, heralding the dawn of “ro- manticism.” He was the first of the great masters to grow with- out influence. His family was of common stock and his life passed in surroundings of plain and simple homeliness. What he wrote he composed spontaneously, with a leaning to the song of the people. He was the originator of the modern “Lied,” finding in the wonderful song literature of the great German poets a vital’ inspir- ation. Frang Schubert was composer of Ave Maria; Hark! Hark! The Lark; Moment Musical; Rosa- munde; Serenade; and Symphony in B minor. Schubert was born in 1797, died in 1828, Beethoven His music shows over forty years of growth of a marvelous genius from auspicious beginnings, thru lorious struggles, to tragic. gran- four. In his twenty-sixth zz there appeared first signs of deaf- ness, which became steadily worse. ‘The creations of this period are the results of deeper reflection, and of purer and more personal inspir- ation. Ludwig Von Beethoven -was born at Bonn, December 16,1770. Some of his most famous ‘compositions are Fifth Symphony; Gavotte in F Major; Minute im G, No. 2; and Sonota, Opus 31, No. 3. Under him the allied classic forms of the pianoforte, sonta, concerto, string- quartet and orchestral symphony Yeached the fullest glory of their development. He died in Vienna on March 26, 1827.

For generations there had been a fued between the two families over the boundary. of their land. This fued lasted :for many generations. Finally when the seventh generation was in .ac- tion Mr. Huntley put up «stone wall declaring he would put : the law on any one who tore it down. law on anyone who tore it down. In order not to, get his son. mixed up in the fued he sent his son away to school. While the son was a- way he went to a party. At the party he was introduced to Mr. Huniley’s daughter, Grace. He thought her name was Miss Hunt. So he asked her where she lived. She said. she lived in. the same.town he did. She said, “I am your next door neighbor.” So :he said, “I thought your name was Hunt.” Grace, Mr. Maynard's son, whose name was Charlie, became great friends. Finally, Grace went home. So after going home: her father took her away on a voyage. ‘When Charlie came. home he found Grace gone. He refused to enter into the fued with his father. His father turned him. out, and soon Grace came back. Her father died. She was left the land. Mr. Maynard died. Charlie got. the other estate. Ho and Grace were married and that is how the fued ended: THE BLUE BIRD By E. Meredith Murray (14) Os eee een comes around fs bayey, song, When all the: world is up side down— Spreadnig joy around.

King, Democrat, of Utah, who was recently barred from entering Haiti by orders of President Borno, declared in an interview Monday that he would continue his fight for the withdrawal of the American military forces from Haiti and the restoration of the control of the Haitian government to the people. When Congress meets in December, he said, he would offer a resolution for the withdrawal of the United States marines. It will provide for a free and fair election to be held by the Haitian people to select representatives to a constitutional convention, he stated, and when a constitution has been adopted by the people of Haiti and officers elected under it, the American military forces shall be withdrawn and control of the Haitian government surrendered to the chosen representatives of the pele. "I made the fight a number of years ago to get American troops out of Santo Domingo and to restore the country to the inhabitante," Senator King said, "and Santo Domingo is free from American control. "When I was there last week I was given a very great reception. The President, mayor, legislators and leading citizens greeted me. I was given great ovations. The people were grateful for what I had done in freeing Santo Domingo from American control. Cheered in Santo Domingo "For a number of years I have been fighting to get the troops out of Haiti and liberate the Haitian people from the control of the United States. I have not been successful, but am going to continue to fight. "I feel it is very unjust and certainly inconsistent with American ideals and democratic institutions for the United States to superimpose upon the Haitian people American rule. "The Haitian people won their liberty in 1804 under the brilliant leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture. They maintained a republic which discharged all of its international obligations until the United States in 1915 landed its military forces, overthrew the government and set up American military rule. Dreads Slavery "The first thing we did was to abolish their constitution, which contained a very wise provision preventing aliens from acquiring land in Haiti. The Haitian people knew that the area of arable land in Haiti was limited, that the population was large, that if great plantations by American capitalists were permitted, and foreign ownership of land was permitted, that the Haitians would soon become a nation of peons and they would have industrial slavery. "The United States when it took possession, abolished the constitution and forced another upon the Haitian people which eliminated the provision preventing aliens from acquiring land. American capitalists are now in Haiti and have acquired large holdings. Borno is not the people's choice. He has been forced upon them by the American military forces, and the Haitian people have no voice in the government under which they now live. King Laudé Haiti "I have been profoundly interested in the welfare of the Haitian people. My interest has been increased because it is a small state and a weak people. They started a republic under adverse conditions. Most of them were illiterate. Most of them were colored. The progress which they have made has been slow, but with the disadvantages under which they labored it was to be expected. "The Haitian people feel aggrieved at our conduct and desire that our military forces shall be withdrawn and that they be permitted to have back their old constitution and their former liberties. "I have shared their views and have earnestly sought for the past few years to liberate them from American military control. I have criticised Borno and said that he was a mere creature of our government. I have also criticised the State Department and General Russell and declared that they were the real government of Haiti. These criticisms have angered Borno and General Russell and when they learned I intended to visit Haiti, they determined to exclude me. Haitians Appreciative "The Haitian people have sent representatives repeatedly to see me here and thank me for what I have done in their behalf. I visited Haiti a number of years ago and, as stated, intended visiting them this month. They were arranging for a reception which would have been a demonstration, peaceable but against American rule and Borno's administration. "I was excluded by orders issued by Borno and Russell, and recozizing that a de facto government exists, when I saw there was no chance to have the orders revoked. I accepted the inevitable and did not attempt to cross the border from Santo Domingo into Haiti." SEEK A NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF L'OVERTURE JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Apr. 7.—An article was given to the press today from the national office of the Knights of Toussaint, 418 Davis Street, in which Supreme Ruler A. Fitzholan Wallace, calls on Negro schools, colleges, universities, churches and newspapers to join The Knights of Toussaint in commemorating the hundred and twenty-fourth anniversary of the death of Toussaint L'Ouverture, during the week of April 24. Speaking to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, Mr. Wallace said: 'The Knights of Toussaint have made it an annual practice to commemorate the death of Toussaint L'Ouverture, but this year marks the beginning of an annual national memorial in which Negroes generally are invited to take part'. Mr. Wallace said further: "I am of the opinion that the day will come when the nations of the world will give Toussaint L'Ouverture his proper place in history as one of the three immortals—Christ, Toussaint L'Ouverture, and Abraham Lincoln. It is fitting then, that all avenues that are open for the dissemination of knowledge among our group be pressed into service that Negroes might be first to accord this recognition of Toussaint," hence The Knights of Toussaint invite the schools, colleges, universities, churches and newspapers to join them this year in this very appropriate memorial. DELEGATES TO STUDY HAWAIIAN CONDITIONS HONOLULU, (Pacific Coast News Bureau)-Hawaii with its racial mixtures of almost every possible combination is to be the mecca of delegates from every country and territory in the Pacific area as well as hundreds of representatives of the principal universities and colleges in Europe and America who have accepted the invitation of the United States government sent out through the Department of the Interior by Secretary Work, to attend the Pan-Pacific Conference on education, reclamation and recreation which will meet in Hawaii April 11 to 16th. Study Racial Mixture While the conference will have as its chief purpose the discussion of the three main points, education, reclamation and recreation, a considerable part of the program will be observation trips after the sessions close to observe and study the racial problems. Hawaii, the largest island of the Hawaiian group, is composed of many races and is held to be a ideal laboratory for the study of race problems. The schools will be found interesting by the delegates. In these schools American born children of Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Portuguese, Filipino and South Sea Island negro parentage can be found working side by side. Racial mixtures of almost every possible combination will be found in the schools. The official delegates of the United States headed by the Secretary of the Interior sailed Wednesday, March 30, from San Francisco on a government vessel.

PARENTS FORCED MARRIAGE; SEEK ANNULMENT PARENTS FORCED MARRIAGE; SEEK ANNULMENT Alleging infancy, fraud, and duress, Mrs. Marie Crosby Taylor, a minor, of Cameron apartments, through her next friend, Paul L. Mingo, filed suit last Wednesday in the District Supreme Court for an annulment of her marriage to William Lewis Russell Taylor, Gaffney, South Carolina. The couple were married in Gaffney, S. C., April 5, 1922, by Judge W. D. Kirby. At the time of her marriage, she says, she was only 14 years old but was forced to swear that she was 18 years and 7 months old. On the day of her marriage, she alleges in the bill of complaint, her mother, Mrs. Carrie Crosby, came to the public school in Gaffney where she was a sixth grade student, and forced her to leave school and go to the court house where Taylor was waiting for her and her mother. Forced to Marry Mrs. Taylor claims that through fear and intimidation she was forced to consent to marry the defendant and to swear that she was THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1927 MAN SENTENCED BY JUDGE FOR FORGERY Arrested by Headquarters Detective Paul Jones in connection with forgery charges, Van Dora Harrison was convicted of vagrancy in police court last Wednesday.

He was sentenced in Detroit, Mich., in 1920 to serve from 3 to 14 years in the Michigan State penitentiary at Jackson. At the end of 2 years and 6 months he was paroled.

Atlanta :: Georgia ```markdown ``` DUNBAR THEATRE TO ADMIT PATROL OFFICER$ OF GRADED SCHOOLS The patrol officers are the boys of our graded schools who are so sably assisting in the safe-guarding of children at crossings near school buildings. Their duty places upon them a heavy responsibility and takes from them the privilege of romping around with their schoolmates. Yet these boys have shouldered this responsibility and given up their play with such spirit and efficiency as to be worthy of much commendation. "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."

Though Randolph Jef- ferson, Red and Black jogger, fin- ished first\and his tearhmate, Law- rence Wooden was secind, the First street school was unable to garner the cup due to the fact that Armstrong had 7 to finish in the first ten against 8 for Dunbar. ‘The method of scoting cross- country decisions is different from any other scale. ‘The places in which the first five Dunbarites fin- ished are summarized and the places in which the first five Tech Tanners finished are summarized. ‘The team with the lowest total number wins.

Coach Johnny Burr in an inter. view Tuesday announced that Fred Slade, southpaw ace, would draw the hurling assignment in the opener. Prudhomme, who had been selected for duty in the post Poned starter will probably” se toil tomorrow morning. ‘The Blue and White mentor alsc declared that Jefferson, last year Varsity catcher, would ‘be on the receiving end of the opening day battery, and that the first base position left vacant by the depar. ture of Dennis Simpson, now im Baltimore, would no doubt be giver over to the care of Lomax for the present. Les Braden is the choies of Coach Burr for the hot corner position. |, What the Storer Collegians will do is hard to tell, but they are ex- pected to offer sterling opposition, being urged on by the fact that they upset the dope lest spring administering to the Bison nine their only defest of last year. pr BLACK SOX OPEN SEASON . @ x AGAINST ALL-STARS "The Washington Black Sox will open their 1927 season Sunday, May 1 at Union League Park, in a double-header against the Hart- ford All Stars (white) of this city.

" Howard announced prior to March 25, that her annual meet would oe held May 14, and the following week the C. I. A. A. authorities at Hampton released an announcement stating that her Inter-collegiate Track and Field Day would take place on the same day—May 14, Nat- arally, with the two meets conflicting, both may be expectéd to suffer. ‘That suffering is little fented by the C. I. A. A. is evident so long as their affair draws the Lincoln entry, and thus displays for public oyes the fact that Lincoln intends 'to stick in the association. Howard to date, despite the fact that she mét Lincoln in basket- ball, has been unable 'to obtain consent of the authorities of Lincoln to meet her in baseball. This—it is the belief of the writer—is be- cause the C.L.A-A. is determined to place Lincoln where she must choose between. Howard ‘and. the association, and at present, appear- ances are that the former will pull the shorter straw. Investigations show that the Hampton meet has been held on’ the third ‘Saturday in! May each: year as far back as 1922. May 20, 1999; May 19, 1923; May 17, 1924; May 16, 1925, and May 15, 1926,—each the third Sktarday’in May is, the date that the C. I. A. A. has used in the past.’ On the other hand Howard, with one exception, 1925, has always preceded the Virginia institutjon’s date by one week. In 1925, because of a meet in which DeHart Hubbard was expeeted to rep- resent his school, Michigan University, the Howard authorities moved their date up one week, tg May 2. This action was taken so as to hin- der a conflict, and to allow Hubbard to perform in both, the affair in which his school’s interest must be kept’ at heart as well as the one at Howard. With this one exception, the Open Championship has always taken place on the setond Saturday in May. May 13, 12, 10, and 8 are the dates Howard used in 1922-'23-'04’and '26 respectively. ° ‘The C.J. A. A.—then—is the body:that has changed its.date, and as a result the present conflict is caysed—whether intentionally or not}. 7 Begiming in this issue the Washington Tribune will publish a page a week from the Sports Catalogue. This will itclude the picture of almost every colored athlete of note with whom Wash- ington sport lovers have come in contact. ‘The catalogue is arrang- ed alphabetically so that the first Siand for a number of years has been one of Washington’s leading semi-pro pitehers. "His connection With the old clubs, the, Washington Athletics, the Piedmonts, Washing- ton Giants, Buffaloes, ‘Treasury and other teams of lesser note is very well known. Few pitchers know more about the game of baseball than Bland and many know a whole lot less.

It was Archie Berry, former Armstrong, Aleo, and Howard star, who contributed the field goal which broke the deadlock, create: after a steady Omega climb to tic the count at 17 all. “Cute” Car. ter of Blue and White gridiron fame’ then stole a march on his teammate and caged the final dou. ble-deeker of the afternoon to pui the game on ice. Alphas in Lead The first half closed on a 9-7 Al- pha lead which was increased im- mediately on entering into the sec- ond period. With the count Alpha, 15; Omega, 7; the Gold and Pur- ple cohorts pulled themselves to- gether and went into the van. Coates looped one from past mid- court, Cobb was fouled and made good his attempt, Berry caged a follow-up and Cobb inserted an- other single counter, whereby Al- pha found her advantage reduced 2 points. A pair of Omega double- deckers caged in rapid fire order placed the Gold and Black behind for the first time of the engage- ment. Her best, from this point was a tie as “Mare” Wheatland dropped in both shots ef a multiple award. For some reason or other the Lightning Five started a freeze with the score a tie and 4% min- utes of game time to go. A pass from Brooks intended for Carpen- ter landed into the hostile hands of Berry and the speedy Omegan dribbled in unmolested and broke the deadlock. A moment later Carter slipped through the Alpha defense and duplicated Berry's twin counter.

Va. April. 8—Hampton Institute is making élaborate “plans and pre- parations for the eleventh Nation- al Championship of the American Tennis Association which will be held ‘st Hampton, August’ 15-20 1927, This ‘will be the first session of the association to be held in the south’and for that reason every effort will be made by the institute and the’ Virginia Tennis Associa- tion to make the eleventh Nation- al Championship a great success. Word has been received from the national president, Dr. Harry S. MeCard, that from the present in- dications the association will have the largest entry lists for both sin- gles and doubles in its history. One ‘of the first requirements for a ‘good tournament is good courts. Hampton is spending’ about $1200 re-surfacing its eight courts which Will’be in good ‘condition and avail- able for tournament play. Ade quate provision has been made for entertainment and pleasure of the followers of the net game. Et ig doubtfal: # there is~ any place better equipped to make the tournament a success and at the same time furnish the members of ‘the association more pleasure and wholesome recreation. This: local- ity is rich in historic associations. Places of interest within a few minutes’ ride of the institute are the National Soldiers’ Home, Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe, Langley Field, Hampton, Newport News, Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown. Bay Shore, a re- sort sicuated on Chesapeake Bay and known throughout the country as a resort for pleasure and rest, will be one of the centers of re- creation, where bathing and dane- ing may be enjoyed. | ‘A musical program in Ogden Hall, a watermelon feast and lawn party, a boat sail over Hampton Roads, made famous by the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac, will be part of the elaborate pro- gram now being prepared for en- tertainment of the hundreds of guests expected to attend the tournament. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, writes, “it is my sincere hope that now the people of these islands have been’ made citizens of the United States they will be given consider- ation and opportunities to help themselves, economically and com- mercially, by the people of the United States.” F -s See Ae 4 eT 1th & U Bts,, NW. ?

Will UPERIOR S AFE ERVICE POLICE SEEK REALTY OPERATORS FOR FRAUD (Continued from page 1) $50 to represent herself as Mrs. Violet B. Warfield and to sign the papers for the loan. She went before S. H. Blumenthal, 1814 Seventh street, a notary public and signed the papers in the offices of the Columbia Title Insurance Company. Arms and Drury made their check covering the loan to the title company. The title company in turn drew six checks payable to various persons to whom it was represented that Mrs. Warfield owed money and whom she desired to pay. She also endorsed some of the checks in the name of Mrs. Warfield. Fraud Discovered Of the six checks three were drawn as follows: $2100 to Edwards; $435 to Mrs. Helen Warfield and $1400 to a Mr. Baker. When Edwards returned to the bank to make a second withdrawal, the cashier became suspicious and began questioning him. He ran out of the bank and was arrested as he was fleeing by Traffic Police Holder at the corner of Ninth and G streets, northwest. At police headquarters a check for $1,400 was found in his possession. Edwards told detectives that he was brought here from New York City by Flanagan for the purpose of carrying out such schemes. Several of the checks were deposited in a local bank for collection, and checks amounting to $435 were drawn against the account. Mysterious Offers Made Efforts towards placing this fraudulent loan were begun a little over 2 months ago, when someone talking in a male voice, called Dr. Warfield over the phone and asked the physician if he would sell his lot on which the house at 1900 Eleventh street was situated. Dr. Warfield told the man that he had no desire to dispose of the property. The man, now believed to have been Flanagan told the owner of the property that he was representing an oil company and that the company was willing to meet his demand for a price. Dr. Warfield refused. A few weeks later the doctor was called a second time and the same request was made. This time, however, the owner was urged to name a price. Still, Dr. Warfield refused, stating that even if he were willing to sell, he would be forced to consult his wife since the property was his wife's separate estate. In this manner the plotter learned that Mrs. Warfield owned the property. The Third Offer On March 14, the man called for the third time, and after some dickering Dr. Warfield stated that he and Mrs. Warfield were willing to make a sale at $21,000. Following this statement the supposed agent declared that he would call at the Warfield residence, 1522 R street, on the following Thursday to complete the arrangements. Thursday came, but the man did not show up, and Dr. Warfield knew nothing more until last Monday when three representatives of the Security Savings and Commercial Bank at Ninth and G streets called on Mrs. Warfield for the purpose of verifying her signature in the endorsement of a check for $435. She stated that she had made no endorsements, and was entirely ignorant of any such check. It was then that the bank officials told her of the loan which had been obtained. Flanagan is notoriously known here. His means of support are said to have been questionable. While he maintained a well furnished office and held himself out as a real estate operator, those who know him say that he did no real estate business. He owned two automobiles and kept bachelor apartments. Recently at a fashionable party he is said to have beaten up his "lady friend" and to have threatened some gentlemen. Flanagan is colored. WELLS WILL CASE TO BE APPEALED (Continued from page 1) doors, and we both are still waiting for the court of appeals to decide how the property will go. If the case is lost against us, we interd to carry it to the United States Supreme Court, and after it has gone that far, there will be very little left for anyone. "Personally, I am very peeved at the way my sister has done. I fought her former husband, Elmer Snowden right in the court room for her, and also had to go to jail for doing so. I have had two or three fights for her with Lewis Brown, the musician. Today I am sorry that it occurred, as I have found them both to be gentlemen. "If it had not been for our older brother, Alphonzo Wells, getting Elmer Snowden, our sister's former husband to not to prosecute the case of bigamy against her, Gertie would have found her self in an embarrassing situation." The former husband, Snowden, in a letter to the Tribune, exonerated the brothers cleanly and said good words for them. William Wells further stated, "The property is worth twice the value that Miss Wells has fixed on it. The household effects are tied up and are waiting for a decision on this case. We were awarded most of the furniture by Judge Alken in Municipal court, but as yet it is all tied up in the storage for final disposition of the will case." MALONE JUMPS FROM WINDOW IN ST. LOUIS (Continued from page 1). Mary's Hospital in East St. Louis for a rest cure. Fear Foul Play Edward Foristel, attorney for Mr. Malone, stated that he believed Malone had been drugged in an attempt on his life. Foristel recalled several threatening letters received recently threatening Malone's life, and from his observation of Malone at the hospital, he felt certain that he had been drugged. In the meantime, the receivership suit is pending.. The next hearing is set for April 11 in Judge Hartmann's court. Efforts for a settlement of the case out of court, and thus to cut short the temporary receivership, have failed. It is claimed that Mrs. Malone has offered first $30,000, and then $100,000 to her husband, both of the offers he is said to have refused. Because of the illness of Congressman Newton, chief attorney for the defense, it is likely that the case will again be postponed when it is called into court Monday. SEGREGATION COVENANT UPHELD BY COURT SEGREGATION COVENANT UPHELD BY COURT (Continued from page 1) probably end in the United States Supreme Court. Restrictive Covenant The restrictive covenant which the court upheld is in the deeds to all property in the Bloomingdale section. It provides that this property "shall never be rented, leased, sold, transferred or conveyed to any Negro or colored person under penalty of $2,000 which shall be a lien against said property." Attorneys Hayes and Davis contend that this covenant is in its essential nature a contract in unlawful restraint of alienation and is opposed to the public policy of the United States as manifested in and by the Constitution. They argued that the appellate court had never passed upon the question of these covenants unlawfully restraining alienation. Justice Stafford's View Justice Stafford took the view that his only course was to follow the decision of the Court of Appeals in a covenant. He declared that to do otherwise would not be showing the proper respect for the higher tribunal. There are three other cases involving the purchase of property by colored persons in Adams street pending in the District Supreme Court. They will probably be controlled by the decisions in these two cases. February 8, 1926, Julia Branch purchased No. 120 Adams street, northwest. She was the first colored person to purchase a house in Adams street between First and Second streets, northwest. February 24, 1927, Charles S. Elder and Lillian H. Elder purchased No. 116 Adams street, northwest. March 3, 1927, Wallace E. and Lethia M. Costner purchased No. 124 Adams street, northwest. Unless the decision of Justice Stafford is reversed, these persons will be compelled to vacate their residences. The deeds conveying these properties to them will be set aside and a penalty of $2,000 provided in the covenant will be Easter Monday Night, a real Cabaret will be opened at Lincoln Colonnade.

(Continued from page 1) sile of Baltimore, chairman of the executive committee of the Federal Council's Commission on the Church and Race Relations, "Many church leaders," he said, "recognize the increase in the number of victims in 1926 as a direct challenge and are redoubling their efforts to arouse public opinion to stop murder in America. There was a total of 30 persons lynched in 1926, which was 13 more than in 1925 and 14 more than in 1924. "The total number of states free of lynching in 1926 was 38, which was the same total as in 1925 and in 1924, and one fewer than the total number without any lynchings in 1923. The number of states which lynchings still occurred in 1926 was 10; the same number as in 1925 and in 1924; the number having lynchings in 1923 was 9." Non-lynching States States which have no record of a lynching during the past five years: Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. States which have no record of a lynching in the past two years: assessed against the defendants, including the white owners from whom they purchased, for violation of these covenants.

APRIL 8. 1927 ARDELLA PARKS TO BE TRIED BY SCHOOL BOARD (Continued from page 1) to an accused teacher, but it should be understood that if teachers publicly accused of serious offenses wish to escape suspension or dismissal from the service, it is necessary that they should co-operate with the Board of Education in order to establish their continued fitness to serve in the public school system, and the attitude on their part of challenging the Board of Education to prove their guilt as the same would have to be established in a court of law will not avail them." The Board of Education, however, has not followed this procedure in cases of alleged misconduct on the part of teachers which have recently been disposed of by The Menard Case In the case of Willis M. Menard, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, who was charged with a criminal assault on Miss Josephine Coleman, a girl student, the Board reinstated Mr. Menard, when the United States attorney for the District of Columbia advised it that a criminal prosecution of Mr. Menard could not be sustained in the courts because of the length of time that had elapsed between the alleged assault and the filing of a complaint, the reluctance of Miss Coleman to testify against Mr. Menard and the inadmissibility of a signed confession by Mr. Menard which was obtained by threats. The fact that Mr. Menard was not vindicated by the United States Attorney was revealed when the board considered his claim for pay during the period of his suspension. It was decided that under the law the board could not certify Mr. Menard for pay during the time he was suspended, but that he might go into the Municipal Court and obtain a judgment for his lost salary. A special committee was authorized to study the question. Menard Re-instated The board also voted to approve the action of the administrative officers in revoking the suspension of Mr. Menard and re-instating him immediately following the report of the United States Attorney. Mr. Carusi and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett were recorded as voting against approval of the revocation of the suspension order Oklahoma and Illinois. Additional states which have no record of a lynching during 1926: Alabama, Lousiana, Missouri, Ohio, Utah. Thirty-eight states were free of lynching in 1926, ten states had lynchings in 1926. There were thirty lynchings in 1926.

Carusi's Statement After the board meeting Mr. Carusi stated that the action of the board in dropping further action against a teacher on a charge of shoplifting was entirely consistent with the procedure outlined by him to be followed in cases of misconduct. In that case, he said, while there had been an arrest and a forfeiture of collateral, the teacher subjected herself to a rigid cross examination and gave a reasonable explanation of her failure to defend herself against the charge in the police court. He would have voted for her acquittal after hearing the evidence, if there had been a trial, he said. Changes in the personal were as follows: Appointments—J. A.
