A.M.E. CHURCH DONATES $10,000 FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS Prominent Physician Slighted at Freedmen's THE CONFERENCE FIRST in Advertising and Circulation MONEY IS SENT FOR RELIEF IN STRICKEN AREA MONEY IS SENT FOR RELIEF IN STRICKEN AREA Professor John R. Hawkins, secretary of the financial department of the A. M. E. Church, and Rev. S. J. Johnson, secretary of the church extension department of the A. M. E. Church, have been ordered by their respective boards to proceed immediately to the flood area is Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas to give succor to the flood victims. Each board has authorized an appropriation of $5000 to get the work started. According to reports reaching here this week, thousands of Negroes are suffering, and hundreds have lost their lives in the worst flood in the history of the country. Over fifty per cent of the inhabitants in this delta section are Negroes. Through the efforts of Professor Hawkins, a Red Cross representative was stationed in the Prudential Bank to solicit funds for the relief of the sufferers. All Washington people are called upon to give either money or clothing. The sending of two officials of the A. M. E. Church to distribute food and clothing and assist in supervising the relief work was done in response to many appeals for help from people in the flooded area. SHERIFF GIVEN MEDAL FOR SAVING MAN FROM MOB SHERIFF GIVEN MEDAL FOR SAVING MAN FROM MOB FRANKPORT, Ky., April 19.—Sheriff P. R. Brown of Graves County, who in 1926 saved a Negro from mob violence at Mayfield Ky., has been awarded a medal by the Southern Inter-racial Commission, Governor Fields announced today. The award was the first of its kind to be made in Kentucky, and Governor Fields, in sending the medal to Brown in behalf of the commission, congratulated him upon "splendid service" he had rendered his state and nation. The bronze medal bears a heroic figure with drawn sword standing in front of a temple of justice, surrounded by the legend "In Defense of Law and Civilization." The award was passed upon by a commission composed of Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, former Governor of Georgia, Governor John W. Martin, of Florida, the late Governor Henry L. Whitfield of Mississippi, Mrs. J. H. McCoy of Alabama, George B. Dealey, editor of the Dallas News, and Marshall Ballard, editor of the New Orleans Item. When on June 21, of 1926, a mob gathered about the Mayfield jail to get Willie Busy, Negro, charged with attacking a white girl, Brown gathered up his denies and drove seventy-five miles at night through two rivers to carry the Negro to safety. MRS. YATES DEAD Mrs. Mary Robinson Yates, the mother of Mrs. Bluette Pannell and the wife of Mr. Bernard Yates passed away Tuesday at her residence in Charlotte Hall, Md., and was funeralized Thursday. Mrs. Yates was a member of one of the oldest leading families of Charleston, S. C., but had spent many of the latter years of her life in Washington, where she had made a large number of friends.

CH Pr STREET IN H NI By S --- CHURCH Promin Poor Old L STREET CAR AND IN HEAD-ON C NO SERIOUS By Samuel Lacy THE MOTORCYCLE STREET CAR AND FORD IN HEAD-ON COLLISION; NO SERIOUS INJURIES What might be considered a perfect illustration of the menace, to public safety, that the stop-sign violators afford, occurred Wednesday afternoon at New Jersey Avenue and Q streets, northwest. Three occupants of a Ford touring car, Walter Grisby, 20, 2434 Ontario road, northwest; Marshall Spriggs, 19, 1832 W street, northwest, and Frank Sayles, 18, 2504 Sheridan road, southeast, miraculously escaped serious injury and possible death when their car met a street car of the Capital Traction Company in a head-on collision. A one-ton Ford delivery car, owned by the Globe-Wernick Company and driven by Francis Magruder, 32 of 29 L street, northwest, struck the touring car which Grisby was driving, knocking it to the west side of the street and directly head to head into a standing street car. The driver, of the delivery car obeyed the sign which reads "stop"—but that was all it did. Having stopped, Magruder immediately drove out in an attempt to cross in front of the touring car, and as a result struck it. The left front wheel of the truck was knocked off. The touring car skidded into the street car, which fortunately, was at a stand-still. The front of the automobile was completely demolished. No one save Sprigge, was hurst. His injurv was slight. That stopping is all that the stop-signs require, seems to be the general opinion of most drivers, and, for that matter seems also to be the idea of a great many po- 10 President Washington Tribune President Coolidge Receives Visiting Ministers PUBLISHED WEEKLY TRIAL BOARD FINES GARRY $75 FOR INTOXICATION Officer Frederick Garry of the Ninth Precinct Police Station, was found seventy-five dollars on the charge of drunkenness brought against him before the Police Trial Board, April 11. The charge of assault upon Mrs. White, 1209 Linden court, northeast, was dismissed according to Attorney Whaly, who prosecuted the case. Attorney Whaley stated that Garry was found guilty of intoxication, but that the assault charge was dismissed because of the conflicting evidence introduced by the government witnesses, and because so much remained hazy about just what happened in the alley leading to Linden court. Officer Garry has been restored to his position on the force since the decision of the board. licemen. Many drivers have the belief that after a driver of an automobile has stopped he is within the law if he chooses to push out into boulevard traffic. That vehicles on the boulevard have the right-of-way does not seem to be realized by a number of motor vehicle operators in Washington. The drivers of both automobiles were summoned to court Thursday. The case was decided in favor of Grigsby, when H. C. Carter, street car motorman testified that Magruder was at fault. Settlement will be made out of court. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 29. 1927 INTERNEREFUSESTO ADMIT FORMER PRESIDENT OF NAT'L MEDICAL ASS'N Dr. H. M. Green, of Knoxville, Tenn., prominent physician and surgeon, and former president of the National Medical Association, accompanied by his wife, arrived in Washington last Friday morning with the expectation that he would have to be operated on for appenditis. The operation was to have been performed by Dr. Simeon L. Carson. Later it was found that an operation was not necessary. On applying at Freedman's Hospital for the private room, which had already been reserved for him, Dr. Green was refused admittance by an interne. Napier A. Henderson, a senior medical student at Howard University, and a brother-in-law of Dr. Green, reported the incident to the hospital officials; but before any action could be taken, Dr. Green had called a taxi and gone to the home of Dr. R. T. Nelson, 1881 Third street, northwest, where he remained until Monday, when he returned to Knoxville. Efforts were thereafter made to get him to accept his room at the hospital, but he refused to return. He received treatment at the Third street residence from Dr. Carson and Dr. A. M. Curtis. Dr. Green is a physician specialist. He is a graduate of Knoxville College; University of Michigan; Roger-Williams University; Knoxville Medical College; P. G., University of Illinois; University of Berlin. He specializes in nervous diseases and surgery. Aside from being ex-president of the National Medical Association, he is now president of the National Hospital Association, of which Freedmen's is a member. JUDGE GEORGE SPEAKS JUDGE GEORGE SPEAKS By S. J. Bennett Judge Albert B. George of the Municipal Court of Chicago, spoke at the noon chapel exercises at Howard University on Thursday, April 28. He said that a better knowledge of simple facts on the part of both races would make for better race relationship; and that it was the tack of the Negro to so conduct himself in his daily life that these facts would become more widely and more intelligently distributed among white people. On the other hand he said that the Negro should not feel himself a segregated or separate part of the nation and of the world. He cannot afford to be disinterested in the activities of the white people, neither can he afford to be indifferent to the larger world developments. Judge George emphasized the importance of citizenship as it relates to the Negro in the United States. VIRGINIA FARMER FREED OF GIRL'S ASSAULT CHARGE HERNDON, Va.—W. M. McNair (white), a farmer in the vicinity of Herndon, was acquitted of an attempted criminal assault charge, before the magistrate last week, and the case has aroused considerable comment from both races. The situation is set forth in a letter written by Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, secretary of the Falls Church Branch of the N. A. C. P., to Attorney Wilson M. Farr, commonwealth's attorney of Fairfax County, Va., in which he says: "There has spread around the county and to some extent in Washington the news of a matter of reported criminal happening in Fla. near Herndon." "The facts given me are as follows: "On April 14, a 14-year-old colored girl was sent by her mother to get water from a pump on the home site of a man named Mc (Continued on page 6) SEGREGATION SUIT FILED AGAINST ANOTHER FAMILY A suit to prevent the ownership and occupancy of No. 124 Adams street, northwest, to Wallace E. and Lethia M. Costner was filed in the District Supreme Court last Saturday. The plaintiffs are Edward P. Stanley, Emily Broadbent, Edward C. Mooney, Grace E. Mooney, Grace, Frank B. Rodgers and Lillian U. Rogers. John H. Offenstein, Pauline M. Offenstein, Isadore Young, Sylvia G. Mercer, Cephas Burchell and Wallace E. and Lethia M. Costner are named as defendants. The plaintiffs seek an injunction to compel the defendants to comply with the covenant running with the property which provides "that said lot 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." It is charged in the bill of complaint that in order to defeat the covenant, Isadore Young, a real estate operator, had the property conveyed to Sylvia G. Mercer, an employee in his office. She conveyed it to Cephas Burchell and Burchell conveyed it to Wallace E. and Lethia M. Costner. On March 3 the Costners moved into the premises. There are three other houses in the block occupied by colored persons, against all of whom suits are pending. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. OR FLO hted a A. M. E. ZION CHURCH TO ASSIST FLOOD SUF- FERERS Bishop E. D. W. Jones of this city, chairman of the Board of Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, has just returned from St. Louis, and announces the appointment by the board of the Rev. A. C. Yearwood, of New Orleans, Louisiana; Rev. H. H. Jackson, of St. Louis, Missouri, and Rev. D. J. Adams of Ponsatula, Louisiana, commissioners to investigate and report the condition of our race group in the flooded areas of the south and southwest sections of the country, in order that the denomination may materially assist in the alleviation of the sufferers. ALPHASTWELFTH EDUCATION WEEK BEGINS ON MAY 8 Although the week of May 1 to May 7 inclusive has been designated by the president, Raymond Cannon, as Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College Week, the local graduate and undergraduate chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will observe the week following, May 8 to May 14, inclusive. This move, according to Attorney Eugene Davidson, chairman of the graduate committee, has been taken at the suggestion of Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, who is co-operating in the movement. The activities of the chapters this year will be confined to the schools of the district, and to poster and street car cards. Although the usual program followed by the fraternity is to have public meetings at various churches and assembly halls, it is felt by the local group that greater and more results will be obtained by appealing to the school children direct. Eight speakers will be selected to speak before audiences at each of the high schools and junior high schools, and before combined groups of eighth grade pupils. Mr. Wilkinson is arranging to have three general groups of eighth grade students called together to hear the message of higher education which will be offered. Aside from these activities bookmarks will be distributed among the school children with appropriate educational messages, and letters will be sent to all the ministers of the city, asking them to make their sermons on May 8 one on education. The campaign will be conducted throughout the country by the seventy chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha in a general crusade against "Ignorance." The aim of the movement is to enlarge educational opportunities and to promote better understanding among the people of the entire country. Working with Attorney Davidson in the campaign are Dr. Merrill Curtis, district campaign manager for Washington and vicinity, and Mr. Goodall, a student of Howard University, and campaign manager of the undergraduate chapter. —Photo by Searlock --- OOD SURF t Freed JACKSON, GU GIVEN DEAT MAKES POO JACKSON, GUILTY OF RAPE, GIVEN DEATH PENALTY; MAKES POOR WITNESS DEDICATE ANNEX TO ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL The Armstrong Technical High School annex was formerly opened with dedicatory exercises last Tuesday night. The annex, erected at an approximate cost of $750,000, gives Washington one of the finest and most modern equipped academic and technical high schools in America. The Armstrong school is named in honor of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, founder of Hampton Institute. The school is designated to reveal the practicability of technical high schools which enables those who do not wish to continue formal educational beyond the high school period to embark upon life equipped with the knowledge of a trade. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy, of the District Supreme Court, presided. A brief talk on "a great school system as an integral port of our national life" preceded his introduction of the various speakers. The first speaker, Commissioner Charles S. Dougherty, made a formal presentation of the annex, dedicating it "to the children of the District of Columbia." "The great democratic ideals of America are founded upon a public school system," said the commissioner in his talk. Addresses of acceptance by Charles F. Carusi, president, board of education; Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of schools, followed the speech of Mr. Dougherty. Mr. Carusi emphasized the imperative necessity of furthering the school system. Dr. Ballou commended the commissioners and the board of education for their noble responses to the demand for a representative technical institution. Mr. Wilkinson, described the difference between the technical and academic schools. He explained that "the academic course confined one to a restricted branch of classes while the technical school afforded the student the opportunity of mastering a trade as well as offering the same classics as the academic." The exercises were concluded by a brief talk by Dean Dwight Holmes, of the college of education, Howard University. Miss Estelle Pinkney, the Armstrong Orchestra, and student body rendered musical selections. The final exercises in continuation of the dedication are to be held tomorrow (Saturday) evening, beginning at 8 o'clock in the school auditorium. TO PLANT TREE IN HONOR OF HOWARD PRESIDENT TO PLANT TREE IN HONOR BARRINGTON GUY OF HOWARD PRESIDENT SCORES IN "ELIJAH" At a recent meeting of the Howard University Women's Club, a committee was appointed consisting of Dr. Sara W. Brown, Miss E. Fisher, and Mrs. Bertha Howard Collins, to make plans for the planting of a tree during commencement day in honor of Howard's new president, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson. The tree will be planted with appropriate exercises on commencement day under the general auspices of graduates of the university who are members of the club. The affair is being sponsored by Mrs. Amanda Gray-Hilley, president of the club, and Dr. Sara W. Brown, alumni trustees, who is at present the only woman member of the board of trustees. It is the purpose of the Women's Club that an elm tree shall be planted to be known hereafter as The President's Tree.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS FFERERS dmen's ILTY OF RAPE, TH PENALTY; OR WITNESS Philip Jackson, charged with criminally assaulting Mrs. Daisy Welling, white, in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18, was found guilty by a jury in criminal court No. 1 late Wednesday afternoon. The jury added to its verdict the words "with the death penalty." It reached its verdict after deliberating 1 hour and 10 minutes. Jackson will be electrocuted. Before the case was given to the jury, Justice A. A. Hoehling, presiding, instructed them that there were but two questions for them to consider. They were whether Mrs. Welling was raped and was Jackson the person who committed the crime. He advised the jury to disregard the confession of Jackson to the police if they believed it was not voluntarily given, but to consider it with the other evidence in the case if they believed it was made voluntarily, without Jackson being subjected to any violence or threats Attorney John H. Wilson made an eloquent plea in behalf of Jackson, whom he defended by assignment of the count. He argued that Jackson was not the man. He flayed the methods of the police in obtaining a confession from Jackson. He also attacked the identification of Jackson by Mrs. Welling. He scored Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins, who prosecuted the case, for not producing evidence to disprove the alibi of Jackson that he was at home asleep at the time the crime was committed. He argued the jury to be guarded lest it send an innocent man to his grave. He also argued the futility of capital punishment. Death Penalty Asked The Government demanded the death penalty.

He will be heard next Wednesday night, May 4, at Howard University in the "Song of Hiawatha." FUNERAL SERVICES OF ANTONIO RAMOS Funeral services were held for Mr. Antonio Ramos at his late residence, 1226 S street, northwest. Mr. Ramos was a skilled engineer, having held positions both satisfactorily and creditably at leading hotels in this city. At the time of his death he was chief engineer of the Francis Junior High School Liberal Progressive Independent FLOODS AND INJUSTICE The flood conditions in the lower Mississippi valley are always destructive and distressing. They are almost of periodic occurrence. Engineering skill has, up to now been unable to cope with these flood visitations. "The father of waters" when on a rampage has no respect for levees and other engineering devices. The disaster consequent upon these floods is very great, both as to loss of property and of life. There usually follow in the train of these floods, suffering, hardship and sickness. In the present flood crisis, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana are the principal sufferers. Along the track of the flood, the Negro population is large, and it follows from the well known social conditions existing in those districts that the suffering among the Negroes must be greater than that among the whites. The Negroes as a rule live on the lower lands, and are the first to feel the edge of the flood. In the next place, by local custom and practice, they are conscripted to labor on the levees at points where breaks threaten, and consequently are subject to loss of life, limb or health due to the known hazards and unhealthy conditions under which such work must be done. Nor is this all. The whole nation is called on to make contributions to relieve the suffering in the flooded area. The relief thus afforded is distributed by local committees, composed of the employer whites. Again, according to custom and social fiat, the Negro is served after the white man has been relieved. In the past floods, numerous instances have come to light where the local committeeman being also a landlord has charged to the account of his Negro tenants, the food and clothing which the charity of the nation intended should be a gift, and the poor tenant, in many cases ignorant of his rights and of the bounty of his fellow countrymen, has had to work for his landlord for years, or until the next flood to pay for what has been fraudulently charged to him. One hears little of what is, at this time, taking place in the flooded areas. The Associated Press accounts are furnished by its local newspaper members. They do not concern themselves with this phase of the situation. The Negro himself either is insensible of the wrong done him, or, from prudence gained from experience, keeps silent. It is unfortunate that there are no means available by which all the conditions brought about by the flood can be chronicled from day to day. An emergency of this kind suggests anew the need of a real functioning Negro associated press; not something existing merely on paper, and drawing sustenance from party organizations and workers, but an organization having a legal existence and a paid membership and funds adequate to sending its own competent investigators to selected points. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE AND RACE PREJUDICE The Negro who aspires to intellectual, moral or political leadership of the race, or who now is acting in that capacity, will do himself a great wrong, if he fails to give the most careful and critical study to the open letters which have passed between Mr. Marshall a New York lawyer, and Governor Smith of that state, dealing broadly with the question as to whether Governor Smith, a devout Catholic would find any conflict between his devotion to the Catholic church, and his loyalty to the constitution of the United States and American institutions, in the event that he should be elected president of the United States. Governor Smith has answered the questions which were asked him by Mr. Marshall in the clearest and most straight-forward manner. There is no attempt at evasion, or equivocation, or straddling. It will seem to most clear-thinking persons rather astonishing that in the United States and the twentieth century such a question should be the subject of open discussion.

Advertising rates furnished on the mental level of the average white man is yet very low; that the claim of the American white man to a high degree of culture and civilization is largely mythical; that the American white man, taken as a whole, has not advanced far beyond the condition of superstition and savagery which was the state of his ancestors at the time of the fall of the Western Roman Empire at the end of the fifth century of the Christian era. The study of the question of religious intolerance as presented in these letters is useful in that it throws light upon the question of race prejudice, intolerance and proscription. Race prejudice is fundamentally of the same type as religious prejudice. It is based upon ignorance, superstition and misconception. It is just as unreasonable and unjust to segregate and proscribe and limit the activities of Negroes as it is to deny Governor Smith the presidency of the United Staats because he is a Catholic. The two cases stand on the same level. No Negro should be denied any right, privilege, honor, or opportunity which other men may have, solely on the ground that he is a Negro, just as no Catholic, or Jew should be similarly deprived, solely because of his race or religion. It is natural for an intelligent Negro to sympathize with Governor Smith, and to honor him for his manly, clear and definite answers to the questions that have been proposed to him. On the other hand the intelligent Negro would be greatly pained and surprised, if Governor Smith were not like-minded toward him. From a national point of view, a man's record—of allegiance to his government and of personal equipment and achievement—should alone determine his eligibility for any honor or office.

"JIM CROW" MIGRATES NORTHWARD By Ella Albert Brown, A.B. (Preston News Service) "Wrong rules the land, And waiting Justice sleeps." Is the Negro ceasing to be an American citizen in the North, as he has long since ceased to be in the South? Such seems to be the case, judging from the objections raised in New York, against a young Negro, who applied to join the Citizens' Military Training Camp. He was refused solely on account of color. Being a Negro, means not being a citizen, so Negroes are barred from participating in those privileges that only American citizens may enjoy. The name Citizens' Training Camp should be changed to White Citizens' Military Training Camp. That the War Department officials deplore the fact that the race question has been raised in connection with the Citizens' Military Training Camp, is putting it too mildly. The War Department should take immediate action to protect the rights of American citizens and tax-payers, at home just the same as it is now doing abroad in the East. Were Marsden V. Burnell, Negro high school student of New York, not stamped with the stigma of color, he too could enjoy all the privileges of his classmates, but being a child of color, he has to leave his home and go to a training camp in the South—for Nerroes. Could more flagrant injustice be possibly found in the smallest and meanest town, in a far off corner of the southland? This affair s. ows conclusively, as do other recent happenings in the North, that southern prejudice and injustice are taking deep root in this section.

Adams The colored race may not be able to boast of a line of musical artists. such as, Chaliapin, McCormack, Monte, Rachmaninov, Ponselle, Chemet, Clement, Cartot, Kreisler, Kindler, Jeritza Homer, Elman, Gorgorza, Braslau, Smirnov, Ruffo, Tetrazinli Thibaud, Werrenrath, Paderewski Gluck, and others but at least we may well feel proud of the fact that ours is a native gift in one of the cherished traditions of the Southland, and of America—the "spirituals," and unmatched harmony in the song of the Negro. All of our great folk songs sprang from the cotton hills and plains of the South. Now the best musicians of the race are to be found in the cities and centers of population. But many of these who have become urban citizens have acquired cultural attainments which have detracted from the old-time songs. Tuskegee Institute is making serious efforts to preserve the spirit of song originated by our folk. Its glee club has been instrumental in presenting an interpretation of race songs of other days which was described as being as nearly perfect as reproduction could be made. Fisk and Hampton likewise, have given much thought along similar lines of endeavor. Those who have never heard the real harmony of colored singers down South can scarcely appreciate the apprehension of certain music lovers that this art is about to pass. Do you know that a group of colored folks once upon a time back in some out-of-the-way rural section were capable of producing an impromptu program of song, chant, whistling and chatter than can be found nowhere else on the globe, in the opinion of music critics who have traveled far to hear the music in its original setting? The song perhaps is one which was never written, usually not so. The leader "strikes" his key and the group is off. The same song may be sung for an hour, or a much longer time. It never becomes monotonous because of its variations. The present-day jazz artist boasts of his "barber shop." He knows nothing of "incidentals" and "chords." The Negro singer can "ring in" more notes than have ever been written in the staff. He sings in minor, major and unknown "keys." There's no precedent for what he does. Today he sings a new song and sings it differently from that of yesterday. Tomorrow he will have a new song and more harmony. No matter what he sings and how he sings it, there is the indescribable rhythm, swing and motion which is as harmonious as the flow of a meadow brook. He knows nothing of crescendos, fortissimos, pianissimos. He does know harmony. I have heard of a woman who attended all revival gatherings, and people would go from far and near to hear her sing. Not a tooth did she have in her head, so it is said, but oh, how she could make the old church rock with her "shout- HOWARD U CHORAL In COLERIDO "HIAW WEDNESDAY At 8 o'cl HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHORAL SOCIETY In COLERIDGE-TAYLOR'S "HIAWATHA" WEDNESDAY, MAY 4 At 8 o'clock P.M.

Her voice was very keen and so powerful that her singing could plainly be heard over the distant hills on the other side of a nearby river. Her notes always overtopped the congregational singing. the congregational singing. In our own city we know of a deceased member of Third Baptist Church, Deacon Smith, and another female member of said church now in another city, also a deacon Porter of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church all of whom are known far and wide locally for their characteristic spiritual singing. The above mentioned facts are but scattered evidence gleaned here and there of the racial gift of song so inherent in our group. Again it is evident in the larger musical vision of the so-called New Negro, of which Roland Hayes possibly is the pioneer. This gift of song is truly manifested in his artistry acknowledged not only here in America but as well abroad. This is what a foreign writer said about Hayes' art in Berlin: "Hayes made his debut here ... when Berlin music lovers went to hear him more out of curiosity than because they expected a musical treat. However, on that occasion they separated pronouncing him a genuine artist. They were surprised to find that Hayes was mastering not only the German language, but also the spirit of German music. So well has the Negro tenor interpreted German lieder that critics have said that only his color prevented them from insisting that he must be of German blood." Marian Anderson is another fine type of native song gift as also is Paul Robeson, possessor of one of the most magnificent voices of any living singer today, and possibly the greatest interpreter of Negro spirituals on the concert stage, rivalling even the great Hayes, Florence Cole-Talbert, Mme. Kachery, Charlotte Wallace Murray, Lillian Evanti', Antionette Garnes, are among others achieving distinction as race singers of marked native ability.

A. Two theatre tickets will be given each GIRL who sends in the best short story of the subject of this picture. Give her name, what she is, and a short sketch of what you think of her. Your story should not exceed a hundred words. Next week, a picture of a well-known child for both girls and boys to write about will appear in the Kidides' Corner. The awarding of the tickets depends on whether your story is published. PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR The picture last week was of Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet. The two best stories were submitted by Charles Brown, 920 V street, northwest, and by Robert Alexander, 2449 P street, northwest. They are to come to the office and ask for Mr. Frazier. Their stories follow: The picture represents Paul Laurence Dunbar. He was born in Dayton, Ohio, in the year of 1872. He was one of our greatest colored poets. Dunbar's mother was an ex-slave. I think that Dunbar was a very smart boy. After his father died Paul worked and helped to take care of his mother. He carried clothes and did other small jobs about hotels and other places and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Although he had a good education he had to accept a job as an elevator boy in the Callahan building at Dayton, Ohio. Dunbar rode in President McKinley's inaugural procession. I am writing to you about Paul Laurence Dunbar whose picture was in last week's Tribune in the Kiddies' Corner. Paul Laurence Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio, 1872. He was a Negro poet. He was very thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true. His poems are never forgotten. Whenever one is recited it creates laughter. JAMES B. LOWE TO STAR IN SERIES OF COMIC PIC The distinction of being the first colored actor starred in motion pictures by a large producing organization falls to James B. Lowe, who has been chosen to be featured in Universal's pictureurization of amusing Negro stories, written by Octavus Roy Cohen, dealing with the trials, tribulations and successes of motion picture production, now appearing in the Saturday Evening Post. The decision to feature Lowe came as a result of his extraordinary work in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." His portrayal of "Uncle Tom" is said to be one of the finest screen characterizations seen in years. Lowe played in "Blue Blazes" and was chosen to be the screen Uncle Tom when Charles Gilpin, the colored stage star, requested his release so that he might return to the footlights. Lowe hails from Los Angeles. He played in the West Coast version of "Emperor Jones" on the stage. While this series of pictures will portray that phase of life of which we are not proud, it will be a stepping stone in filmmd, for the advancement of the acting ability of the Negro. Gilpin, the Negroes in the cast of "Lulu Bell," and those Negro comedians who appear on white stages are foundations on which the boys and girls must build BETTER things on tomorrow.

AUDITORIUM The Washington Auditorium, the only modern and spacious concert and convention hall in the District of Columbia, is not for the use of colored folk. This fact was again stressed when representatives of William C. Hueston, commissioner of education of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, were refused the use of the auditorium for the holding of a national oratorical contest in June. Strenuous efforts were made by Mortimer M. Harris, representing Mr. Hueston, and Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser of the Elks to secure the auditorium. They made their plea for its use directly to Robert N. Harper, president of the Washington Auditorium Corporation. They cited the significance of the contest. They told him of the numerical and financial strength of the Elks. They impressed him with the patriotic and educational values of the contest. Their representations were underwritten by men high in business and in politics. After considerable negotiations Mr. Harper finally told that it had been decided to make a change in the management of the auditorium and that pending this change it would not be let for any purpose. The Third Refusal This is the third time that the use of the auditorium to colored folk has been refused. James A. Fletcher sought to stage his Thanksgiving Day dance following the Howard-Lincoln football game here. He was refused, although he was willing to pay an exorbitant rental. There was no subterfuge about this refusal. He was told that the stockholders feared that the use of the auditorium by colored people would depreciate the value of their investment. A committee of local citizens tried to obtain the auditorium for the holding of the African Methodist Zion General Conference in May, 1928. They had the assurance of the conference committee OPPORTUNITY AN ELECTRIC MAC ELEC OFF 10,000 Preferred Consisting of Twenty At Description the Company reserves the payable March 1, June 1, September of the Company, in whole or her share, plus, in either case, a Normal Federal Income Tax and Transfer Agent, AMERICAN Registrar, U the Public Utilities Commission, organized capitalization of the Poten- 100,000 common stock.

OMAC ELI AC ELECTRIC that if a suitable place could be had, Washington would be chosen for the next general conference. This committee of citizens brought every possible pressure to bear, but Colonel Harper remained adamant in his refusal. They appealed to the chamber of commerce and the board of trade. They pointed out that the general conference would last for 20 days and would bring four or five thousand delegates and visitors here. They translated these figures into terms of dollars that would be spent here. But they could not obtain the auditorium. Colonel Harper in his conferences let it be known that he has neither forgotten nor forgiven the colored people for walking out of the auditorium on the night of May 6, 1925, because of segregation. On that occasion about 200 colored persons who were taking part in the American Music Festival, one of the feature events of the meeting of the Quinquennial Convention of the International Council of Women held in Washington, walked out of the auditorium as a protest against segregation in the audience.

He is Roland Hayes, internationally famed tenor, because he appears there under the direction of Mrs. Wilson-Greene, white, who experienced trouble with one of his concerts because of efforts to impose segregation.

(Preston, News Service).—Sarah Duncan, 65-year-old servant, was awarded $24,000 by a jury in Circuit Court here Wednesday afternoon from the H. Clay Duncan estate of Osborn, Mo. The jury deliberated five hours, returning with a 10-derivative. When the verdict was read in court many of those who had attended the trial gathered about the elderly woman and congratulated her. The woman originally had sued for $80,000, the amount which she claimed was due her for lifetime wages in the Duncan household. Under the statutes of 1865 interest could not be compounded on money due through a verbal contract, and the pepition of the plaintiff was amended, cutting the sum asked from $80,000 to $24,000, the amount claimed to be due her plus simple interest for forty-seven years.

CORRECTION A CORRECTION In an article last week in The Tribune, it was erroneously stated in a letter from R. T. Murray of Boston that the studio he was offering for sale was bought at the original cost of $45,000. The price should have been quoted as $450-000. The paragraph should read: "I have a studio, thoroughly equipped, on ten acres of land; with a lake, an administration building, a laboratory, with building of 45,000 square feet of flooring, thirty-one dressing rooms; all scenery; a carpentry shop; a printing shop, in fact everything that goes to make a first class studio. The original cost amounted to about $450,000, equipment and all, and my price is $105,000."

He declared that the testimony of Jackson stamped him as the man who committed the crime, which he described as one of the most brutal ever perpetrated in the District of Columbia. Jackson made a poor witness. He claimed that he was asleep at the time the crime was committed and that the police beat him, pointed guns at him and threatened him. Under cross examination he was evasive and hestitating. In rebuttal the Government recalled a number of headquarters detectives who denied that they had drawn revolvers on the defendant or had hit him. They also testified that Mrs. Courtney at whose home Jackson lived, had denied to them a few days after the crime was committed that she knew where Jackson was on the night of February 18. Jackson's Witnesses Jackson took the witness stand in his own behalf Wednesday. in his own behalf Wednesday. Before court adjourned at 4:20 Tuesday afternoon, Attorney Wilson began the presentation of the defense. He sought to establish an alibi for Jackson. Four witnesses testified as to the whereabouts of Jackson on the night the crime was committed by him. Mrs. Estelle Courtney, No. 221 Third street, northwest, at whose home Jackson roomed, stated on the witness stand that the accused came to her house thru her kitchen door from the alley about 9 o'clock on the night of the assault. Her husband was in the dining room, she said. She was in the kitchen washing, and did not finish until about minnight. Jackson spoke to her husband and went upstairs. He did not come down the stairs again that night, she testified. The son of Mrs. Bailey and the brother of Mrs. Courtney, Michael J. Bailey, swore that he was a bed-mate of Jackson. He stated that Jackson entered their bedroom shortly after 9 o'clock on the night of February 18 and cleaning his teeth and removing some ingrowing hairs from his face, went to bed. Jackson did not leave the room until about 7 o'clock the next morning, he testified. The Government closed its case late Tuesday afternoon.

The rule which provides that "time out" is to be taken on all fouls is the most helpful of the 1928 changes adopted by the Joint Basketball Rules Committee. Lew Tendler, noted white prizefighter, expresses an opinion that Negroes are true sports. "In my fourteen years in the ring," said the Philadelphia prize-fighter, "I must say that I have never met a finer and more sportsmanlike people than the colored race. I never expected to get the support that was accorded me after I had defeated that great boy Young Harry Wills. But they proved that they are real sports and after my hands was raised I received a record-breaking ovation." A member of the city's leading basketball managerial partnership wishes to dispose of his interest in the enterprise. Baseball seems to be growing in popularity at the high schools. Spectators at the first three games this year have far outnumbered those for the entire schedule for either of the past three seasons. --- A game of baseball played on the Walker Memorial Stadium can not avoid being a farce. Rocks, gullies, hills, and pebbles present hazards to the boys, greater than those the golf duffer faces when he finds his ball embedded deep in the sand of a bunker. Consensus of opinion seems to favor the basketball rule changes recently made, but there is a tendency to object to the dribble restriction. One, that "time out" is to be taken on all fouls will add on the average from three to five minutes to each game. In the past only on technical fouls, on the first free throw of a multiple foul, and on a double foul has time been taken out. This will have a tendency to encourage good will among the contestants for two reasons. Players on the team behind near the close of a close game where every second seems to count, will be satisfied that they are not being robbed of valuable time when one of their players is unfortunate enough to be guilty of fouling. Knowing then, that they are receiving full benefit, of the stop-watch, players will not be tempted to rough their opponents out of the lead. Then again, this new rule will serve to prevent "stalling," as referees found it difficult to ascertain whether or not more than 10 seconds were consumed for a free throw. The adoption which forbids the referees heretofore unrestricted use of his whistle is also a timely one. The constant sounding of the referee's whistle in a hot game always adds to the bodlam. Then again spectators pay to see the players play—not the referee referee. Let's take a minute to mention off-handed a few Washington boys who are playing on Eastern League teams this year. The loop which opens Sunday will find either one of two or both Nimp Winters and Ping Gardner on the slab for Hilldale and Harrisburg respectively. Nimp is still the peer of Eastern league southpaws, and there are few right-handers better than Oscar Charleston's ace. Then there is Babe Wilson the Black Sox slugger, as well as Script Lee Hilldalle hurler, and Scrappy Brown, Black Sox shortstop who though not a native Washingtonian was educated and developed here. This is merely off-hand dope. They are not so numerous, but, as his position, each is among the leaders. The Community Athletic Association heretofore active only in basketball, has entered a team in the Open Championship Track and Yield Meet at Howard University Stadium, May 4. A representative is expected to be found in Bill Fauntroy, Neagie Ellis, the Marshall twins—Bill and George, Robbie Harris, Jimmie Lee, and Joe Walker. The two local leagues get under way next week. Sunday, May 1 the Union League opens, and on Monday the Monument Lot will be the scene of the Departmental League inaugural. The LeDroits and the Government Printing Office, winners in their respective loops last season, are again entered. Soup Turner and Lefty Smith have signed with the Washington Black Sox. They will appear in the Sox line-up Sunday at Union League Park. THE SPORT REVIEW SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor THREE GAMES IN UNION LOOP SUN. All are in readiness for' the inauguration of Washington's semi-pro baseball season. The Union League will begin its campaign Sunday with double-headers on three different grounds. The 'Le Droit Tigers, 1925 and 26 champions meet the Myrtle A.C. in a twin attraction at 24th and Benning Road, northeast; the Washington Giant - Oriental Tiger bargain engagement will be played at South Capitol and P streets, southwest, and the newly organized Piedmont will be guests in Alexandria to the Lafayette of that city. All affairs begin at 1:30 p.m. Many new faces will appear in the lineup of the various clubs. OPENING MONDAY IN DEPARTMENT'L The Departmental League opening will take place on Monday, May 2 at Diamond Number 8 of the Monument Lot. The 1927 season will be launched by a game between the Government Printing Office and Post Office. This season the loop allows the use of four outsiders by each team. Heretofore unless a player was an employee of one of the Government departments he was ineligible for participation in the league games. This rule has been amended, and now each nine may use four players, regardless of employment. For that reason the G.P.O. team, last season's winners will be pushed pretty hard to repeat. Treasury and Post Office have been greatly strengthened by acquisition of several Union League and Washington Black Sox players. The games next week are as follows: Monday, May 2—G.P.O. vs Post Office Tuesday, May 3—Treasury vs Vet- crai's, Bureau eran's Bureau Wednesday, May 4—G.P.O. vs State Department Thursday, May 5—Veteran's Bureau vs Post Office Friday, May 6—Treasury vs State Department All contests will get under way at 5 o'clock. MORRIS BROWN NINE ON NORTHERN INVASION MORRIS BROWN NINE ON NORTHERN INVASION Coach Johnson departed last night, April 28 to lead his team, the Morris Brown Whirlwinds on a trip which terminates in the Capital City against Howard. The Whirlwinds play S. C. State, Newport News Y, Knoxville and Fisk on the trip. The Whirlwinds have a good pitching staff, composed of Bradley, Spruill and Austin, but a loose fielding team. So far, Coach Johnson has not been able to build up a good defense, but the offense is almost perfect. Murderers' Row The Whirlwinds have four players grouped together known as the "murderers' row" and they are correctly named: Clarke is batting .391. Johnson's average is .654 Sanders' average is .500. Williams'Clemons were batting .833 but was hurt and may not make the trip. This combination has been able to earn enough to win thirteen of the fourteen games played. We are wondering how hey will stock up against eastern opposition. SHAW JUNIOR HIGH WINS FROM RENO GIANTS 11-5 SHAW JUNIOR HIGH WINS FROM RENO GIANTS 11-5 By E. Stedman Davis Monday afternoon was the opening of the baseball season at the J. L. Reno School, Tennally Town, D. C., and the Shaw Junior High School boys, who appeared on that occasion took the honors by defeating the home team, the Giants, by a score of 11 to 5. The game was stubbornly fought and while the visitors were in fine shape, the Giants met the situation in a sportsmanlike manner. At times, they held a few scattered hits. The Shaw boys bunched their runs mostly in the first round which put them far in the lead, while the Giants did not make any real showing until the last two innings. Joe Jackson of Shaw, and Eugene Batton of the Giants, did special feature work. More than a hundred spectators were present and had only the highest praise for the way in which both clubs handled themselves. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1927 "COMPETITION KEEN, BUT CUBANS'LL WIN"-POMPEZ By Alexander Pompez Manager Cuban Stars With the opening of the fourth season of the Eastern Colored Baseball League, fans are studying the dope and trying to guess just which team has the best chance of winning the pennant. After going over the record of the players during the three years previous, it is the opinion of most of the fans in the Metropolitan district that the Cuban Stars, which will represent Newark this season, has the best chance. The first two seasons of the league, Hilldale was by far the best team in the league. Its only real rival was the Cubans. Last year the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City beat the Cubans out for the pennant, after the boys from Havana had led the league throughout the season until the last three weeks. This year the dope shows the Cubans are just a little better than they have been since the league organized, while the Bacharach Giants are not quite as strong as they were last season. The Cubans are better because the team has been strengthened by the addition of several new and young players and the pitching staff is in tip-top condition. Chacon Good General Diligo, the star lanky first baseman is at the peak of his form and Captain Chacon with 15 years' experience behind him is the best field general in the league. Indeed it has been sadi that Chacon and several of the other members of thi steam would have been in the big league but for their color. Manager Dick Lundy of the Bacharach Giants reports that his line-up will continue about the same. Although Lundy is an exceptional and graceful shortstop and seems to be at the peak of his form, several of the other members of his team appear to be slipping. Cummings the veteran first baseman has started on the tobogan and Roy Roberts and Rats Henderson of his pitching staff are also slipping. For these reasons it is unlikely that this team will repeat their victory of the past season. When Bizz Mackey signed a contract to join a team playing ball in Japan, the Eastern Colored League lost its best catcher and Hildale, with whom he played for the past five years, was put out of the pennant race. The Lincoln Giants The Lincoln Giants of New York, under the management of John Henry Lloyd, veteran second baseman, are rated high this year by the experts. They have improved their team through the acquisition of Rector, right-hand pitcher and Eddie Douglass, first baseman from the Royal Giants. Then too, the Lincolnes have a young pitcher by the name of Chambers who played in Porto Rico last winter and did exceptionally well. He is expected to experience his best season this summer. The Baltimore Black Sox, with Ben Taylor as manager, have a pitcher with the most peculiar delivery. He is a big right-hander by the name of Yokely, who pitches an under-hand ball by winding up with one hand behind his back. This team is also strong with Mack Eggleston, Heavy Wilson, McClure and other stars of colored baseball in their lineup. Johnny Beckwith's Harrisburg Giants are the other entry that is expected to give the Cubans trouble. This team has in Charleston, the champion home-run hitter in the league, and in Fats Jenkins, a New York boy well known in basketball circles, the best base runners. Altogether competition is expected to be exceptionally keen this season and the team that wins the pennant will be one that will rank well in comparison with the teams in the major white leagues. ARM STRONG NINE AHEAD IN MANASSAS FRAY ARM STRONG NINE AHEAD IN MANASSAS FRAY Armstrong gained her second victory of the 1927 season last Monday afternoon, when she defeated the Manassas Industrial School nine 15-11, on the Walker Memorial Stadium grounds. Loose fielding, due largely to the many gullies all over the infield, and the young stone quarry spread throughout the outer works, marred the game. The local hads skipped into the lead after the first 2 innings and stayed. Manassas obtained 1 run in the opening frame, but until the last 2 innings never threatened. Lynn, the Tech twirler, seemed to become confident of himself near the last and the Manassas took advantage of his consequent let up. Splendid sportsmanship was displayed throughout the contest. BLACK SOX MEET HARTFORD STARS The Washington Black Sox open their 1927 baseball campaign Sunday, May 1, in a double-header with the local Hartford All-Stars (white). The twin attraction to get under way at 2:30 p.m., at Union League Park will be one of the initial games of the District semi-pro season. The Black Sox have greatly strengthened their club with the acquisition of Soup Turner and Lefty George Smith, former LeDroit Tiger shortstop and outfielder-pitcher respectively. Turner is one of the youngest and most capable shortfielders in semi-pro ranks, and his career with the Tigers was creditable. Smith is no doubt the city's leading southpaw hurler. He is also a valuable outer gardner possessing a strong wing and keep batting eye. The All-Stars have a strong club. Last year the Sox were able to defeat them by a 3-0 score in their 1926 meeting, due largely to the fact that Eddie Barner was hurling in great form. HOWARD LOSES TWO OUT OF THREE ON ROAD TRIP The Blue and White nine returned from a most disastrous southern trip last week. Of her three road games, Howard lost two. The first game at Salisbury, North Carolina, went to the Bisons 9-4. Yokely, Baltimore Black Sox hurler toed the slab for the Carolinians, but the boys from the Capital pounded his slants at will. Prudhomme started for the Bison nine, but was relieved by Roy. At Sumpter, South Carolina, Howard was defeated by the Morris College nine 7-4. Prudhomme and Hull were unable to stem the Morris tide. A superior North Carolina State College took the final game of the trip in Durham when the local team was entirely outclassed, and trounced by a 12-5 score. On this occasion Hull started for the Blue and White and was relieved in the fifth inning by Roy who in return was relieved in the same inning by Prudhomme. The Bisons are out of town this weekend playing Thursday and Friday at Lincoln and Saturday at Morgan College. May 4 Livingstone will be guest on the Hill and Morris Brown is to meet the Bison nine in a double header May 5. Morris Brown is undoubtedly the South's leading nine, and picked by many as the greatest college baseball team in the country. LARGE HOWARD SQUAD PREPARES·FOR RELAYS LARGE HOWARD SQUAD PREPARES·FOR RELAYS An unusually large squad of promising athletes are working out daily under the direction of Coach Charles West in preparation for the Penn Relays and the National Open Championships which will be held on the Howard Campus May 14. Just now the leading candidates for the mile relay team are Bridges, Langston, Greenidge, Thorne, Lloyd and Captain Kenneth Hill, all of whom are capable of turning in 440 in 51 seconds. There is little to choose between the lot, but from point of experience, Bridges, Langston and Hill are pretty sure to get the call. Bob Miller is taking care of the 16-pound hammer with fairly consistent throws and the 16-pound shot with a record of 44 feet, while Earl Gauntt is a sure point man in the javelin. In the 100 and 220, the Blue and White will stake her fortunes on Elijah Williams and Joe Carter, the best sprinters the university has had in the last decade. In the distances, Parker and Cobbs have it all their way. H.U. Bright has refused to yield to the ravages of time and is still turning in half-mile races around two flat Stephens, who holds the C.I.A.A. record of 11 feet for the pole vault, expects to better this mark in the open championships, while Andy champion of the 120-yard high champion of the 1220-yard high hurdles, is counted upon to bring in a first in this event, with Howard Warring, James and Jacobs running one, two, three in the 320 low hurdles. The Howard University quarter mile track. 150-yard straightaway and new jumping pits offer most favourable opportunities for new records in both track and field events. The track which has been recently surfaced with two inches of sifted sand and cinders, is now the fastest in the East. SORE LEGS HEALED. Open Lees, Ulcern.

Liene, Pharmacr. 1885 Green Bay Ave., MIL --- EASTERN LEAGUE CLUBS PRIMED FOR OPENING EASTERN LEAGUE CLUBS PRIMED FOR OPENING By Lloyd P. Thompson Today's encounters among the Eastern Colored League clubs will send the circuit into action for its fifth season and while the vacant berth for the eighth club remains unfilled, the commissioners have arranged the schedule in a manner that will be satisfactory with the seven members. Five of the field leaders who were at the helm of clubs last season are back at their former posts, they include Ben Taylor of the Black Sox, Frank Warfield of Hildale, John Henry Lloyd of the Lincoln Giants, Dick Lundy of the Bacharach Giants and Pelayo Chacon of the Cubans are the old pilots retained. The Harrisburg Giants with Johnny Beckwith as leader and the Brooklyn Royal Giants with Cannon-ball Redding elevated to the top are the new field generals in the loop. Practically all of the clubs will present some big changes in their lineups: The Royals have signed Paul Arnold, a youthful fly chaser of great promise, from Newark, N.J. Newt Robinson from Hildale, Connie Rector and Eddie Douglass from the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Andy, former leader of the Newark Stars, will be seen in the lineup of Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants. For the champion Bacharach Giants, Dick Lundy has secured Louis Meursa a rookie catcher, from Atlanta, Jim Shields, a new pitcher, from Richmond, and Jesse Hubbard, a former Royal Giant outfielder. Hildale will present Bill Yancey, a Philadelphia sand lotter, who is after an infield job, and Joe Lewis the catcher will play a return engagement. At Baltimore, Ben Taylor has rebuilt the Black Sox by adding Scrappy Brown, Pete Washington and Dick Jackson and shifting a number of the old guard. Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Giants also present some new faces, in Heavy Johnson, the former Baltimore outfielder, and pitchers Mongin and Gurtley. Not to be outdone, Senor Pompez of the Cuban Stars has been combing the island and will bring up third baseman Alphonso, catcher Isquirdo and pitchers Cifo and Valdez. The Saturday games will get off to day when Harrisburg Giants tackle Hildale at Hildale Park, and the Cubans and Lincoln clash at Mt. Holy, N. J. Colonel Strother's revamped crew will rule as the favorite over the home team when they help pry off the lid at the Darby ball park. While the locals have lost the services of Bizz Mackey the Giants have added strength in Heavy Johnson and additional pitchers. The probable lineups will be: Harrisburg Jenkins,lf Day,2b Charleston,cf Beckwith,3b Cannady,ss O. Johnson,rf Perez,1b Gamiz,c Gardner,p Cooper,p Hilldale Briggs,rf Warfield,2b Carr,1b Thomas,cf J. Johnson,3b Washington,lf Lewis,c Yancey,ss Cockrell,p Winters,p At Mt. Holly, the Jersey fans are on edge for the invasion of the league teams that will perform weekly on the Rovle and Pilkington Athletic fields. The first assignment has brought together the Cuban Stars and Lincoln Giants. This game should prove to be a hummer because both clubs finished well up in the race and have strengthened their respective outfits for the present grind. TALLADEGA BREAKS MORRIS BROWN'S WINNING STREAK BY 3-2 VICTORY TALLADEGA, Ala., Apr. 28—Behind the great pitching of Seay the Talladega nine took their second game with Morris Brown 3-2, here last week. Talladega scored two runs in the first inning. Hamilton got to first on Stearn's infield error. Poole doubled to center and Hamilton stopped at third base. James, Talladega's shortstop, doubled to right scoring Hamilton and Poole. In the sixth inning Talladega scored by the hitting of Poole, James, and Calhoun; thus ending the scoring for Talladega. Morris Brown's big inning was the fourth. Johnson, catcher, tripled and Williams the next batter hit to second base but Brown, Talladega's infielder, misjudged the ball and Johnson scored, Williams going to second. Williams scored on a second hit to Brown which passed through his glove. Hamilton, Cooper, and James were the stars of the fielding, while Poole, T. C.'s catcher, played havoc with the Morris Brown would-be base stealers. Throughout the game Poole was continually nipping Morris Brown rallies in the bud by his perfect pegging. Johnson and Stearn were again Morris Brown's outstanding players. Johnson was the M. B. team's heaviest hitter, hitting a triple, thus starting a rally which netted two runs.

ORLEANS By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. April 28-Hampton's Armstrong Field will be the mecca for trackmen from colleges and high schools throughout Eastern United States on May 14. The big quarter-mile track and 220-yard straightaway with eight lanes affords the last word in track equipment. At present it is one of the best in the country. Negro youths of America are awakening to their possibilities in the track and field department of athletics by the successes of men like Charlie Drew, Earl Thompson, Brice Taylor, De Hart Hubbard, John Carrol, Gus Moore, and a host of others worthy of mention. A place, it will be clearly seen, must be provided where these eager aspirants may show their wares. Hampton has tried to develop such a place through the annual championship meets, which resemble the Penn Relays of the Northern colleges of the country, This year the relay races, involving many beautiful trophies given through the generosity of such interested people as Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, Frank A. Young, sport editor of the Chicago Defender, and the Mme. C. J. Walker firm, will be the bones of contention. Lincoln has already expressed her intention of entering a large number of contestants. From such information we gather that competition will be hard and fast, as Lincoln possesses one of the best relay teams among colored colleges. Union University will also be a threat worthy of note, because of such men as Cook, who holds a number of dash records, and Slim Booker of sprinting fame. In the past years the quarter-mile has been an interesting affair. The winner gets a gold medal and the handsome cup given by Mr. Frank A. Young. The contestants are usually the fastest in the meet. The records of former meets are high, so that anyone who breaks one must turn in a performance par excellent. From all indications the meet will far surpass all previous ones. CAMPBELL IN FORM: HILL- DALE BLANKS GIANTS PHILADELPHIA, April 23—With Bullet Campbell serving them up, the Darby Daisies administered a neat coat of white-wash to Danny McCllan's Philadelphia Giants, the final figures reading Daisies 7, Giants 0. The home crew went out and sewed up the game in the opening frame when they nicked Pierce's delivery for a quartet of runs. This inning and two batters in the second, who walked and singled respectively, finished Pierce's stay on the rubber. Shorty Rankin, who was tossed into the breach was a decided improvement over Pierce and barring the fifth frame when Bolden's clan bunched three hits and a walk for two runs, the relief hurler pitched fifty ball. Bullet Campbell, held the invaders well in check and only in the eighth inning did they seriously threaten the rubber. In this round White singled to center and Milt Lewis doubled down the left field. Rankin popped to Yancey and Jackman hit a sharp bounder to Judy Johnson. Judy whipped the ball to the pan, but Joe Lewis dropped the throw as White collided with him. White, however failed to touch the plate and was tagged out by Campbell. Billy Yancey performed in great style against his former teammates, the South Philadelphia boy converted an even dozen chances in the proper manner without a slip. Judy Johnson and Bus Davis socked the apple for two doubles each.

NEW YORK, April 27, (Preston News Service)—The National A.A.U. track and field championships were taken from New Orleans last week because of fear that racial troubles might enter the event. The southern contingent decided that the event could not be held in New Orleans, unless Negroes were forbidden to participate in competition against white athletes. The A.A.U. in its firm stand that no man shall be barred on account of race, color or creed, plan to arrange for the event to be held in some other city in July. It is expected that there will be some delay in the holding of the meet this year. F. W. Rubien, secretary of the A.A.U. declared that a national and patriotic body had no right to bar any American because of race or creed. He pointed out the "obvious unfairness" of calling upon Negroes to represent America and win high honors in Olympic games and later deny them the right to compete in their own national championships. Among the Negro athletes almost certain to win places among American representatives are: Cecil Cooke, brilliant quarter-miler of Syracuse University and national champion; Charles Major, St. Bonaventure College, high jumper and indoor title holder; as well as DeHart Hubbard, broad-jump star; and also many other distant men. Secretary Rubien pointed out that only once during A.A.U. championship games in the South has any athlete protested against competing with a Negro. On that occasion a hurdler from the University of Virginia, said "I can not go home and admit that I raced a colored man." HAMPTON TRIMS ST. PAUL HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., April 28—The Hampton Seasiders defeated the St. Paul nine for the second time this season on Armstrong Field by the decisive score 13-5. While the game was marred by a number of errors for both teams, it was hard fought throughout. The St. Paul aggregation gave only one real threat throughout the game—in the seventh frame—but Finch's good pitching and worthy support stemmed the tide. The game was a nip-and-tack affair until the fifth inning, when Byrd of Hampton started the belated rally with a three bagger which spelled the doom of St. Paul. Before the rally could be checked Byrd had received two timely three-base hits and three pitchers were driven to the showers. Quinn of St. Paul was called up to stop the nine-run rally. After the fifth inning the game progressed very rapidly but the frequent errors in the seventive the Tiger clan a real chance to score, of which they did not take advantage. With the bases loaded, the superb pitching of Finch brought him through with flying colors. The mainstays of his support were Capt. Williams in short, Harris on first, and Byrd in center field. The eighth inning brought Jimmie Adams to the mound for Hampton to relieve Finch, the submarine twirler. The visitors had stars in Hudson as catcher, Islay as shortstop, and Bannister as third baseman. The principals that took part in the slugging feat were Williams in short, Caster infield, Murray on Third, Harris on first, and Byrd in field. ST.

In the top, two bears are trying out a few holds before working out with Footlights Wonder will the "Kentucky Club Revue" come to the Howard attire and with its modified actions by the chorus girls, or will it bring us the "straight dope." The girls had to cover up some of their charms in order to complete the show's run at the Lafayette Theatre in New York last week, after police had swooped down upon them and carried the whole bunch to jail. Maybe the police aren't as active here, or maybe they will enjoy a "good show" as well as the audience. Anyhow, I bet we get the show "as was," maybe. The show is staged by Leonard SHOW 3 Days A A drama of youth's p ending whirl of pleasure WHERE ARE THE DRIFTING?

WHOSE FAULT IS IT WHEN TRAGEDY STALKS INTO THE HOME? By "Mac" Johnny Meyers, champion middleweight wrestler, shown in the bottom picture. Wrestling bears are one of the unusual numbers of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, which comes here for four exhibitions, afternoon and night, on Monday and Tuesday, May 2, 3. Circusland's newest and most original spectacle, the "Geisha," will open the performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Harper, and was a floor show at one of the recently padlocked New York night clubs. The raid on the show in New York was made under the new law which provides against the chorus girls appearing indecently clad and against their singing and dancing in suggestive ways. According to the law the actors must confine themselves to the stage and stay out of aisles. Suggestive muscle dances are tabooed. Gestures, monologues, dialogues, and songs must be decent, moral and free from double meaning that is objectionable and lascivious. Impersonation of dope fiends is barred. The girls of the show who were placed under bond by the New York Court were Mary Duvall, Mabel Savoy, Azalyn Lynch, Frances Hubbard, Bertha Young, May Saunders, Peggy Burnett, Fanny Cottman and, Mabel Nichols. And say, they'll all be with the show when it gets here.

These two stellar stars need no introduction to the Washington public, since their past performances have left a memory that can not be easily forgotten. They played to capacity houses during their last appearance here in "Salome." They start at the Lincoln on May 2 for a limited engagement. But say, the regular Lincoln prologue will be gone. Yes, it leaves after this week. So the audience will miss a lot of fun—watching the directress swing her little baton every time the spot light falls on her. But really, speaking seriously, Kirkpatrick and Bowman are a lot better, let's hope. They need not be any funnier. KRIGWAS TO PRESENT THREE PLAYS The Krigwa Players, an aggregation of local talent who made their initial appearance in three one-act plays in March, are offering to literature lovers of Washington another rare treat. On May 7 at 8:15 p.m., at the Armstrong High School Auditorium, they will present "Mortgaged" by Willis Richardson. This play was first produced by the Howard Players some few years ago very effectively. Those taking active parts are Misses Ophalia Davidson and Henrietta Williams, Messrs. Edward Saunders, Samuel Popel, Bernard Pryor, and Alfred Smith. "Foreign Mail," written by Miss Eulalie Spence of the New York Krigwa Players will be presented by Messrs. Costuma Green, Leander Hill, Samuel Popel, and Mrs. Ruth Steward and Miss Lillian Clark. "The Flight of the Natives" by Willis Richardson will be seen for the first time. Those to be seen in this beautiful story depicting the real, true, faithful characteristics of the Negro slave are Messrs. Bernard Pryor, Leander Hill, Samuel Sutton, David Strange, Lee B. Aash, Samuel Popel, Mrs. Kathleen Bingham and Miss Lillian Clark.

Key, R. B. Jackson, Johnnie Johnson, S. Chambers, Mrs Booker and myself, besides a few others who I cannot think of at this writing. Each of these owners own from one to ten horses. Mrs. Booker owns several good horses. Her husband trains them and her son rides them, and he is considered one of the best jockeys on the track. Young Booker holds his own with the best riders. His father saddles as many winners for a season as any trainer in the business—in comparison with the number of races he enters his horses. Now, if you would stop to figure just how much horse flesh these colored men own it would be near the half million dollar mark. find you that beautiful Club emia w open NIGHT ALL NIGHT can be rented for private the Club orchestra and Y, 3 P.M. 3 Days LOVE u that ful ub ia n NIGHT ted for private orchestra and HA W CIR ORIG SUP ORIE MUS SPEC "GE BIG MEN 2 S DOOR TICK The He Same P EAT 3 Days Wed Do OVE M Wednesday days Double LOVE MAKE 'EM WILD flap- ghts? 2 Big Shows f Y, May 7—ONE DAY ONLY— On the Screen—VIOLA DANA in UGHTY NANNE A Story of Hollywood On the Stage A story of flappers and gay lights? 2 E SATURDAY, May 7—ON On the Screen 'NAUGHTY A Story On t 2 Big S RDAY, May 7—ONE DAY On the Screen—VIO AUGHTY N A Story of Hol On the Stage 2 Big Shows for the Price of One SATURDAY, May 7—ONE DAY ONLY— On the Screen—VIOLA DANA in 3 TALENT SHOWS Appearing at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30 --- --- So you can see by these figures that the Negro is holding his own in the racing game. There are lots of other colored owners in different parts of the country—the ones that I have mentioned here are now racing in Maryland. There are too many trainers to start mentioning. It is evident that we are getting our share in this business. The Movies As I have often said before there is only one business or profession that I know of that we are not getting what we deserve out of, and that is the moving picture business. The opportunity is here for us if we will only take advantage of it. I have the spot with a studio in view, all we need is capital and a little brain behind it. I believe this would be the best investment a person could make, and it would not take much money to launch it if we all would go into the proposition with faith and sufficient funds, and patience to wait until things got going properly. Don't overlook it. As I said in a previous article, I am too busy at present to organize it, but surely some of you can see this wonderful opportunity—so why not get busy?
