SAYS HUSBAND THREATENED TO KILL REV. JAMES E. WILLIS Peonage Farm Victims Guarded in Refugee Camps To Prevent Their Escape School Board to Re-open the Menard Case "BAD NEWS, MA'M! A big man, later identified positively as John Hull of Prince Hall Lodge and the State Department, was found at 2:30 A.M. on North Capitol Street near the Union Station, stiff as a poker, Ma'm, and smelling of gin. Synthetic gin it was, Ma'm. Officer Sullivan found him there in the gutter and called an ambulance. Attendant thought the man dead, all right, but, to make sure, rushed him to Freedmen's Hospital just the same. Dead as a stone, Ma'm----dead as a stone. It's bad stuff, Ma'm, synthetic gin. But, what's a fellow going to do these days? I'm a member of Prince Hall myself." FIRST in Advertising and Circulation WIFE CHRAGES ASSAULT IN DIVORCE SUIT Her husband, Barkley Hawkins an elevator operator in the Inner Department, threatened to kill Rev James E. Willis, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, if he ever caught him in their home again, Mrs. Fannie E. Hawkins, 1826 Sixth street, northwest, declares in her bill of complaint for a limited divorce filed through Attorney Armond W. Scott on Tuesday. After their marriage, she says, they lived happily until her husband suddenly began to curse and abuse her. When she inquired of him the reason for the change in his attitude toward her, he demanded that she cut off her dresses to the knees and attend moving picture shows with him, she claims. She explained to her husband, she states, that she was a Christain REV. JAMES E. WILLIS and of the Baptist faith and would not dress modernly or attend moving picture shows. Before their marriage she asserts, her husband promised to attend church with her every Sunday. On one occasion, Mrs. Hawkins declares, when she and her husband were sitting in their dining room, she received a telephone call from Rev. James E. Willis. He asked her to come to his house to attend a meeting of his church members for the purpose of discussing the raising of money towards the church debt. She accepted the invitation, she says, in the presence of her husband. Upon her return home, she states, her husband asked her what her pastor wanted. She told him that Rev. Willis wanted her to lend the church the sum of $200 for 90 days, she says. The next evening he cursed and abused her, Mrs. Hawkins charges, and told her that if he ever caught Rev. Willis in her house again, he would kill him. Mrs. Hawkins further charges that her husband remained away from home on one occasion for a period of five days, borrowed money from her which she had got from benefit societies on account of illness and never nailed it back, assaulted her and threatened to send her to an insane asylum. He deserted her in April, she says. The couple was married in the District of Columbia by Rev. Willis on May 19th, 1926. They lived at her home, 1826 Sixth street, north-west. Mrs. Hawkins asks the court to grant her temporary and permanent alimony, counsel fees and a limited divorce. MRS. FANNIE DAVIS BURIED IN.

HUSKY Pe Sc IUSBAND Peona School FLOOD WATERS EMANCIPATE PEON-SLAVES While the flood waters of the Mississippi River in their ruthless rampage over levees and dykes, inundating thousands of acres of delta land, are carrying death and destruction to many, it is acting as an emancipator also for thousands of Negroes who are and have been for years, held in peonage on the many farms now under water. This information has been confirmed by reports now leaking out of the flood The sections of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi now covered area, with the angry waters, is known as the worst peonage section in America. Thousands of Negroes are held as virtual slaves on the various plantations which employ from one thousand to ten thousand Negroes each. By the plantation laws which govern this section, these Negroes are held on these farms either as virtual slaves or prisoners. When they try to escape, they are captured, beaten and in many instances, killed. Now that these people have been forced to flee with the rest to save their lives, the problem of the peonage farm owners is to keep all their farm hands together and prevent any of them from escaping. According to reports coming from Memphis, Tenn., where thousands of refugees are concentrated, these Negro farm hands are huddled together in stockades with armed guards to prevent their escape. Government Intervention "Threatened" In several instances, with the angry waters rushing and raging around them, heartless peonage masters have refused to permit their Negro farm hands to be carried to safety points. On a farm near Inverness, Miss., so stubborn have the owners resisted the res- (Continued on page 6) PRES, MORDECAI JOHNSON RETURNS FROM MIDWEST President Mordecai W.

Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY By W.O.W. COMMITS SUICIDE Leaving a note stating that "I am worried," Isabelle Morton, aged 45, of 2803 Sherman avenue, northwest, committed suicide by inhalation of gas sometime during the day, last Monday. Her husband, Julius Morton, on his return from the District Police Court where he is employed, found his wife lying face up across the bed in their bedroom. Mr. Morton is in absolute ignorance concerning the cause or extent of "the worry" his wife mentioned in her parting message. Neighbors say that the couple were very devoted to each other, and that any kind of misunderstanding was seldom noticeable during their life in that vicinity, which has been the past eight or more years. Mrs. Morton was discovered with a tube in her mouth, in a position which appeared as if she had collapsed from a sitting position on her bed. Funeral services were held Thursday at 2 p.m. from Simpson Memorial M. E. Church. DUDLEY DIVORCE IS TAKEN FROM COURT RECORDS The final chapter of the story of the marital strife between Sherman H. Dudley, nationally known theatrical magnate, business man and sportsman, and his late wife, Mrs. Desdamona Barnett Dudley, was written in the District Supreme Court last Thursday when Justice Jennings Bailey dismissed the divorce proceedings which were begun in May, 1926. Attorney Raymond Neudecker, who represented Mrs. Dudley, filed a suggestion of death of his client on September 21, last, but made no reference in his pleading to the fact that she had been killed by George Sheridan Davis, a former policeman, who was named as the co-respondent in the case. Davis is in the District jail awaiting trial on a charge of first degree murder. He shot Mrs. Dudley to death in apartment No. 6 of the Dudley apartments. At the time she and Mr. Dudley were about to effect a reconciliation, having just returned from Atlantic City, N.J., where they had decided to forget the past and begin married life anew. The trial of Davis is scheduled to take place before the summer recess begins. FLOOD REFUGEES GET MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 4—As the result of a conference there between Secretary of Commerce Herb Hoover and Cook of the States Attorney Cook of the northern district of Mississippi and Eugene B. Booze of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, a temporary hospital for the relief of 2,500 colored flood refugees has been established at Cleveland, Mississippi, 10 miles south of the town of Mound Bayou. It is in charge of colored doctors and nurses. Mr. Booze states that Secretary Hoover advised him to use his best judgment as to the needs of the people in the territory near Mound Bayou and report directly to him. Mound Bayou is a colored town.

B. P. O. E. IN NEW YORK ACCORDING T MINISTERS RAISE $4000 FOR TRAINING SCHOOL The meeting held at Florida Avenue Baptist Church under the auspices of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of the District for the benefit of the National Training School for Girls at Lincoln Heights, was very successful. It was announced that, so far, over $4000 for this school had been raised by the various churches of the city. Rev. Robert L. Bradby, pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Detroit, Mich., was the principal speaker. The meeting was for the purpose of getting in all reports on the drive for $10,000 which the Baptist Ministers' Conference has pledged to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the school's president. All Churches Assisting While the conference has pledged this amount, the various churches of the city regardless of denomination are assisting in the drive. Of the churches reporting, Nineteenth Street Baptist has raised the largest amount, $18. This is the last meeting the conference will hold until fall. However, each church will continue raising money until its quota is reached. At the meeting in the fall, it is expected that the full amount will be realized. The local drive in behalf of the National Training School is part of a national one to raise money to rebuild the buildings destroyed last year by fire. Miss Burroughs is hoping that a sufficient amount can be raised within the next month to warrant that contracts can be let and work started so that the much needed buildings can be ready for school opening next fall. The enrollment this year had to be cut because of the lack of facilities. This is the only located in the South. exclusive colored girls' school not Miss Burroughs left the city Wednesday night to spend several days in Pittsburgh in the interest of the drive. an, later identified posse John Hull of Prince in North Capitol Street Synthetic gin it was an ambulance.

REV. J ms Guar To n the TEN THOUSAND NEGROES IN REFUGEE CAMPS VICKSBURG, Miss. (Special Dispatch.)—Professor John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, arrived here Wednesday on an inspection tour of the flood section. Over fifteen thousand refugees are in camps here, of which over ten thousand are Negroes. Prof. Hawkins stated that all possible help is needed to help relieve the suffering. On Thursday, May 5. Prof. Hawkins will visit the camps at Yazoo City. MRS. SAVOY IS PLACED ON $300 BOND FOR THREAT Another angle to the marital difficulties of Dr. Walter Stanford Savoy, a physician and member of the Freedman's Hospital staff, and his wife, Mrs. Valerie Turner Savoy, an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 1328. Montello avenue, northeast, will be aired out in police court Saturday morning. Mrs. Savoy is charged with threatening her husband. The warrant for her arrest was sworn out by Dr. Savoy. She was released in bonds of $300 and the case set for hearing Saturday morning. This case is an aftermath of a divorce decree obtained by Mrs. Savoy in Arlington County, Va., in January. There is also pending in the circuit court of the District of Columbia a suit brought by Dr. Savoy against Mrs. Valerie Turner Savoy for $10,000 damages. He alleges that she defamed him by causing to be published in a weekly newspaper here a statement that he had become a habitual drunkard. Mrs. Turner-Savoy in her answer to the libel suit declares that she is not liable because at the time of the publication of the alleged libelous statement, January 28, she was his wife. The divorce decree, she says, was not signed until several days later. Dr. Walter Standford Savoy and Miss Valerie Turner, one of the Turner twins, were married in Elkton, Md., March 19, 1922.

JAMES E. dded in Refu Prevent Th Menar MOB BURNS MAN WHILE FLOOD WATERS RAGE By Albert Brooks "MOB BURNS MAN'S BODY IN LITTLE ROCK STREET." This is a front page headline in a Washington daily paper. The man was a Negro. The mob was a group of blood-thirsty savages, typical of that lawless and uncivilized section of the country. And all this at a time when the raising Mississippi has devastated that very section with the roaring torrents of its flood; when disease and pestilence have spread abroad; when appeals have gone forth over the land, to the humane hearts, irrespective of race or creed, for aid for these sufferers; and when the chief hope of the section which are still fighting to save their crops and their lives, is Negro labor. It is at this time that a band of cowards—men, women and children—afraid to await the course of their own law, even though this law be so molded that the trial of a Negro is mere formality, hunted down a Negro as if hunting down a hare in the field. And then—without trial, this man was burned, his body riddled with bullets, dragged through the main streets of the city, with the city police directing the traffic. Then, as a fitting climax, this savage mob burned their human sacrifice to their "God of Hate," at one of the principal business corners in the Negro section of Little Rock. It should be noted, too, that the charge was assault with a dangerous weapon—not murder, not rape. Were the news from any section of the world except the American southland, it would be unbelievable. Regardless of the fact that Negroes pay taxes, which help to pay those police who wink at mobs, other Negroes are threatened and insulted. They have no legal protection. They must either fight against superior numbers—in many cases special trains are run to town for a lynching—or live by the sufferance of a mob of proven to be barbarians. This situation of affairs brings us to this question: "What about the Negro in the Flood Relief Program?" Money has been raised among Negroes for the relief of flood sufferers. How will that money benefit the Negroes of that section? We hear of labor being drafted to work long hours to stem the flood. These laborers are invariably, unpaid Negroes. And moreover this labor is attended with great risk and often fatal consequences. Farm-houses will be rebuilt from flood-relief funds. Will the poor Negro tenants be benefited thus? And if these Negroes own little Negro places of their own, will it be worth the sacrifice of the folk in other sections, for flood-relief funds to be expended in such a way in that section of the country? The truth is, this is a time of opportunity. Many Negroes have never had the opportunity to escape from that section of the country. Relief-funds to aid those Negroes, should be spent in railroad tickets, with refugee.centers where these people may be cared for and aided to employment in cities of the more civilized sections of the country.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS WILLIS ugee Camps their Escape d Case TRIAL TO BE GIVEN DUNBAR PROFESSOR The board of education at its meeting at Franklin School last Wednesday decided to re-open the case of Willis M. Menard, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, who is accused of criminally assaulting Miss Josephine Coleman, a graduate in the mid-winter class, while she was a student. He will be given a trial by the board on the charges. Pending the trial he will not be again suspended. Mr. Menard was suspended February 21 on this charge. The complaining witnesses failed to appear against him before the committee on complaints and grievances to which the board referred the charges. The papers in the case were then referred to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. The United States Attorney reported to the board that there was no evidence upon which could be based a successful criminal prosecution of Mr. Menard because of the lapse of a period of two years between the time of the alleged occurrence and the filing of the charge, the inadmissibility as evidence of an alleged forced confession signed by Mr. Menard, and the unwillingness of Miss Coleman to appear against him. After polling the members of the board, the administration officers re-instated Mr. Menard on March 19, and he resumed his duties at the school on March 21. His reinstatement was approved (Continued on page 6) AFRICAN PRINCE SPEAKS AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY By S. J. Bennett Prince J. E. Blayechattal of Abyssinia, East Africa, spoke at the noon chapel exercises at Howard University, Thursday, May 5. He is a descendant of the ancestral line of the Queen of Sheba and a very eloquent speaker. He said that the Negroes who live in the Southern States (of the U. S.), live in heaven compared to those who live in some parts of Africa. The white people of Europe who dominate certain sections of Africa provide the Natives with just enough education to make them good slaves. The whites are very jealous and suspicious of educated Negroes who come either from England or from the United States. These educated Negroes are not allowed to associate freely with the Natives. The whites fear that such an association would enlighten the Natives to a point where they would be hard to control. What the Americans want, he said, is not a wholesale emigration back to Africa by American Negroes; but they should want a sufficient number of trained American Negroes to go to Africa to help the Natives dig their gold, extract their rubber, establish drug stores and other industries. In other words, the Native Africans Negroes to help them find them-want enough American trained selves.

News and Observer of Tuesday, April 26, 1927; that Senators Overman and Simmons and former Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, either have never heard of that decision, or, having heard of it, have delib- erately and willfully determined to disobey it, It is charged that “illiterate Ne- groes” are being permitted to reg- ister at Raleigh to vote in an ap- proaching municipal election in violation of the constitution and Jaws of North Carolina; that this --registration is being procured and permitted by white men, and that “illiterate Negroes have no right under the law to register or vote.” Senator Overman in a sinister and subtle sentence says: “Experience should teach’ us how exceedingly dangerous it is to play with fire.” Daniels makes reference to “re- forms obtained with a great price in 1898 and 1900.” The Grandfather Clause of the North Carolina Constitution is as follows: Sec. 4. Qualifications for regis- tration. Every person presenting himself for registration shall be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English Janguage. But no male person who was, on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under the laws of any State in the ‘United States wherein he then re- sided, and no lineal descendant of any such person, shall be denied the ight to, register and vote at any election in this State by reason of his failure to possess the educa- tional qualifications herein _pre- scribed: Provided, he shall have registered in accordance with the terms of this section prior to De- cember 1, 1908. The General As- sembly shall provide for the reg- istration of ali persons entitled to yote without the educational quali- fications herein prescribed, and shall, on or before November 1, 1908, provide for the making of a permanent record of such regis- tration, and all persons so regis- tered shall forever thereafter have the right to vote in all elections by the people in this State, unless dis- qualified under section two of this article. It would seem from a reading of this section that all illiterates, whether white or black are now barred from registration or that all illiterates are disfranchised, unless they are of the class of Persons who were qualified to reg- ister and did register prior to De- cember, 1908, But the fact that such persons now constitute “a| permanent record” and have “for- ever” “the right to vote in all elec- tions” is clearly in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment as inter- preted by the Supreme Court of the United States in the ease above re- ferred to. The Oklahoma constitution of 1910, which in some respects fol- lowed the grandfather features of the North Carolina constitution, is in part as follows: No person shall be registered as an elector of this Satte, or be al- Towed to vote in any election here- in, unless he be able to read and write any section of the constitu- tion of the State of Oklahoma; but no person who was, on January 1, "1866, or a any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, .. . and no lineal de- seendant of such person, shall be denied the right to register and ‘Yote because of his inability to read and write sections of such consti- tution. The Supreme Court in passing ‘upon this section of the Oklahoma constitution held that “A provision in state constitutions recurring to ‘conditions existing before the adop- tion of the Fifteenth Amendment and the continuace of which con- ditions that amendment prohibited, and making those conditions the test of the right of the suffrage is in conflict with and void under the oe allladacodtesupe Readies bons man, a Democrat, an ex-Confeder- ate soldier, and a former United States senator from Louisiana. It should, therefore, carry more than the weight that a decision of the Supreme Court upholding the rights of Negroes usually carries in the South. ‘A great deal is being said now about law enforcement. Most that is being said relates to the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. Senators Overman and Simmons, and former Secretary of the Navy Daniels and everybody eise are under thé same obligation to obey the Fifteenth Amendment as the Eighteenth Amendmect. Their oath and allegiance is as strong and binding in the one case as in the other. If illiterate white men are voting in North Carolina, as manifestly they are, and illiterate Negroes are not to be permitted to register and vote, then the Fif- teenth Amendment, is being vio- lated, and those who violate it should be dealt with as the law in such cases provides. It is tobe sincerely hoped that there is enough patriotism, cour- age and the sense of justice and fairplay in North Carolina to see that nothing of detriment happens to the constitution of the United States. THE NEGRO IN SERIOUS DRAMA. One of the Pulitzer prizes in let- ters ($1,000) for 1926 was awarded to Paul Green, assistant professor of philosophy in the University of North Carolina for the “original play, performed in New York City, which shall best repre- sent the educational value and power of the stage in raising ‘the standard of good morals, good taste and good manners.” The play is entitled “In Abraham’s Bosom.” Ii is a full length play and deals with Negro life and psychology in a serious and dignified manner, Professor Green is a young white man, born in North Carolina in 1894, and has worked in the cot- ton fields of that state with Ne- gtoes. “In Abraham's Bosom” was played in New York from Decem- ber 30, 1926, to March 5, 1927. It is a matter of no little signifi- cance that the Negro character is finding its way into all branches of literature. The Negro himself will not be alive to a real human situa- tion, if he does not put on record his own reactions to the life -he is living. He has done something in the field of history, essays, fiction and poetry. We can recall no full length play written by a Negro that has received public recogni- tion, A most creditable beginning has been made in the writing of one-act. plays. Let us hope that the near future will give us a full length play by a Negro playwright.

He was a teacher in Trinity College, London; conductor of the Handel Society’ and the Rochester Choral Society. His compositions include: “Bal- lade in A minor”; “Hiawatha,”.Op. 30, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, including Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast, the Death of Minnehaha, The Song of Hiawatha (overture), and Hiawa- ‘tha’s Departure; “The Atonement” Op. 53; “Quintet for Clarinet and Strings,” Op. 6; “Sorrow Songs,” Op. 57, which is a setting of ‘six of Christina Rossetti’s exquisite poems; “Nonet for Piano, Strings and Wind,” Op. 3; “Symphony in A minor,” Op. 7. “Solemn Prelude for Orchestra,” Op. 40; “African Romances,” Op. 17; “African Suite,” Op. 35, for the piano: Five Choral Ballads, for voice and orchestra, Op. 54; “A Tale of Old Japan”; and the tran- scription of “Twenty-Four Negro Melodies.” ‘The lamented Booker T.

The appli- ing the engagement at their following statement. thereon: “The College is not Prepared to accept Colored Students.” ‘One may sense that fact by the location of the school. Since St. Louis is in a southern state it was not even necessary to have append- ed that obnoxious statement, especi- ally when it is known already that race students have the privilege of attending much better musical in- stitutions in the North or East and abroad even in the very city from ‘whence Gaiston hails. If the Progressive Series Teach- ers College would at least take the pains to blue-pencil their mailing list and reserve only the names of exclusively desired white patrons before mailing, certainly they could save a few hundred dollars of use- less postage and save that much ink and space on their literature. ee nlored students hardly could be expected to be so interested in a ‘secondary school of that type a- ‘mong whites anyway. It shoul be reserved for those of that type ‘exclusively. Remember that Gott- fried Galston is a German citizen and the Progressive Series Teachers College is a southern institution.

MISS LUCY D. SLOWE - The picture last week was of Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, at Howard University. * It seems as though the girls who sent in letters relative to the pic- ture, conspired to keep their ad- dresses and ages to themselves. Not one had an address, and only four had the ages given. ‘The prize winning stories fol- low: The picture is that of Dean Lucy D._Slowe. ‘Mias Slowe is dean of women’ at Howard University. Before becom- ing dean at Howard, she was a teacher in the public schools here in Washington.

According to “Who's Who in Colored America” (1927) she is listed as being the president of the National Federation of Colored College Women. NATHALINE WALDEN The picture is of Dean Lucy D. Slowe. I knew her picture because I have seen her often, I see. her on the street. Of course she doesn’t know me. I like her because she wrote the following: “Going to school is much like a football game.

THE PRINCESSES AND PRINCESES By Norma Murray (9) ( Once upon a time there were two princesses living in a diamond cas- tle. Next door to them was a ruby castle in which lived two princes. These four royal children were very fond of playing with each other. Carl, the older of the two boys, was six years old. He was born on what was considered in those days as being an unlucky date. It had been predicted that he would “meet with a severe injury during his thirteenth year. His brother | Daniel was two years younger than eas Ethel and Florence were the “names of the two little princesses, | One day the mother of the prin: “cesses told them not to go far from ‘the castle. She emphasized that they were not to go farther than the castle gate. ‘The children in their noisy hap- piness did not hear the instructions that their mother was giving them, so when one suggested that they into the forest and gather some Howers for. their ethers, tie queens, the four went ahead with no thoughts of danger in their minds. After the children had been in the forest only a short time they saw a light which excited their curosity. In the light appeared @ beautiful little fairy who beck- oned them to follow her. At first they hesitated, but when she smiled at them they started to fol- low her. Suddenly they heard a voice saying, “Children! Children! Come back.” The children hesi- tated, but only for an instant, then they continued to follow the fairy, Although the fairy beckoned them to follow her, the children felt that it, too, was this fairy who warned them not to follow her. After following the fairy for a long while she suddenly changed into a witch. Of course, they be- came frightened and tried to turn back, but they could not. They re- alized that an enchanted spell liad been placed on them. Another witeh appeared, and one witeh took the princes in one direc tion and the other witch took the Princesses in another direction. Each witch kept her captives to fatten them to make witch oil of. ‘The witch who had the boys said to them one. day. “I want the youngest boy to look into that big bot of water and see what you shall see.” The pot of water was over a big fire. Daniel hesitated, Carl said, “I'll look in the pot.” He started’ toward the pot then stopped and pretended to be fright- ened and cried. He said, “I—I— I'm afraid. Please show me what todo, The pot is too high for me.” The witch stood up on some stones and looked into the pot. As she turned to say something, Carl pushed her into the pot. No Sooner had he done this than he grabbed his brother by the hand and ran away. They ran and ran and ran until ‘they finally came to ‘the place where the girls were kept. | "The girls were sitting in front jof a little hut. The boys went up to them and begarf telling them what they had done, While they were talking the other witch came up and before the children could say or do anything, she changed into a fairy. ‘She said to the chil- dren, “I heard what the princes said. I am glad the witch is no more. She was more powerful than Tam, so IT had to do her bidding. She forced me to cap- ture you. Tam sorry so I will give you each a gift. What do you want?” All of the children said, “Please give us a promise, and ‘let that promise be that you will protect Carl when he becomes thirteen years of age.” ‘The grateful fairy granted their wish. When Carl became _ thirteen years old. the children had so much faith in the vromise that the fairy made that they naid no attention to the days as they passed. When the children became of age, Carl married Ethel, and Flor- ‘ence married Daniel, ‘and they fos happy ever afterwards. MOTHER, DEAR! Mother dear, we love you, And you love us, too. You are working hard for us. Please let us work for you. NATHAN FRIEDMAN _ 'PRIBUNITES’ YELLS Girls: Ba—ha—ha. Ha—ha—ha. ‘Tribune! Tribune! Rah! Rah! Rah! Boys: Ya—a—a—a—a—a_!

Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, to the editor of the Herald-Tribune, Mr. Randolph denies that the Brotherhood plans to strike for one hour on June 15, in protest against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts. The letter reads: "The following news article appeared in the Boston Post of April 18, of which the Herald-Tribune is its origin: 'The New York Herald-Tribune says that Pullman Porters joined the ranks of workers who plan to strike for one hour on June 15 in protest against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts, as a result of a meeting of officials of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in Harlem.'" Porters Did Not Meet "This is absolutely and unqualifiedly untrue. Pullman porters have not joined the ranks of any workers who plan to strike for one hour on June 15 in protest against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts. "No meeting of the officials of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was held in Harlem the 17th day of April or on any other day or anywhere else to consider in any way the question of striking against the execution of Sacco Vanzetti, nor do the officials propose holding any such meeting to consider any such question. "Therefore, permit me herewith to request that you publish in a prominent place in your paper, this statement in correction of this serious and unwarranted misrepresentation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. "I am perfectly amazed at the publication of such a news article by your paper. I cannot imagine where or how you came into possession of such alleged news which has no existence in fact. Evidently your paper has been played upon by some one." DEAN MILLER TAKES TRIP IN BEHALF OF ENDOWMENT FUND Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, has just left on a five-day trip in behalf of the medical endowment fund. His itinerary includes the Tide Water section of Virginia, and the neighboring cities. Vesper services, Sunday, May 1, were conducted by a group from Lincoln Temple. Mrs. Thompson was the leader. The National Association of College Women held their sessions in the Rose Rooms of the Phyllis Wheatley. Y.W.C.A., April 21-23, inclusive. The sessions were closed with a banquet on the concluding evening. The Y.W.C.A. celebrated its twenty-second birthday on May 5. There were features presented for every member of the family. A Spring Festival was given Saturday night by the industrial department, at which time votes were taken for the most popular club. The National Benefit Club was declared winner of the popularity contest which closed last Saturday. The club polled 295 votes, to 169 for the Sunshine Club which came in second. Third place was won by the Hostess Club with 162 votes. The winning of the contest entitles the National Benefit Club to select one of its members to attend the summer Y-W.C.A. conference at West Virginia Institute. The second prize is a club pennant. Plans have been made for the girls to spend Sunday, May 29 at the Y.W.C.A. camp at Highland Beach. Girls may register for this day with the Industrial secretary before May 21. At the tree planting exercises last week, three trees were planted and dedicated to Mrs. Bettie G. Francis, past president; Mrs. Frances Boyce, president; and Madarn Bannerjee, a missionary from India. A group of Hampton students and teachers stopped at the Y.W. C.A. last week while in the city doing special work at the Congressional Library. The Junior N.A.A.C.P. gave a successful and enjoyable entertainment in the gym Friday night. The Industrial girls will leave the "Y" at 6:30 a.m. Sunday June 5. to go on a hike. Last Sunday the girls took a three-mile hike along the Georgetown Canal road.

Zion Church, Rev F. R. Killingsworth, D.D., pastor. This is probably the first A. M. E. Zion Church of its proportions and beauty that has been built from the ground up in this vicinity in a number of years. The pator and half a dozen members paid in $500 each in a lump sum and other members paid an approximate sum in installments. The programme announced that the Rev. F. Killingsworth, D.D., the pastor's father, would preach. He is eighty-six years old, and now pastors the White Oak A. M. E. Zion Church, with 750 members, Van Wyck, S.C. He has been in the Zion ministry 50 years, sixteen years of which he served as presiding elder, and now at eighty-six, he is able to journey from his home, Chester, South Carolina, to Washington, D.C., and not only witness, but actively participate in a dedicatory service. Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, who had been director of the academic department of the Jennie Dean School, Manassas, Va., came to Arlintogn, to pastor the Lomax A. M. E. Zion Church eight years ago. The Program Dr. F. Killingsworth, the father of the pastor, preached Sunday morning. Bishop J. S. Caldwell preached th' dedicatory sermon in the afternoon. Presiding Elder J. H. Tucker, Dr. C. C.

Killingsworth, the pastor's father, assisted in the services, the pastor acting as master of ceremonies. Bishop E. D. W. Jones was scheduled to preach at the night service but was unable to be present, owing to the death of his morer-in-law. Dr. G. T. Long, presiding elder of the Washington District of the C. M. E. Church preached in his stead. Nearly $600 was raised in the day's offering. TRINITY A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Special services will be held at Trinity A. M. E. Zion Church, on Morton street, between Georgia and Sherman avenues, northwest, Sunday, May 8. At the 11 o'clock morning service the pastor, Rev. O. L. Rand, will preach.

I knew it was because of my short, ugly hair. Then a neighbor told me about Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing." "In a few months everything was different. My hair grew long, straight, soft and silky. Instead of being ashamed of it, it became my joy. Besides its beauty, it also brought me popularity. Now I could have a 'date' every night in the week if I wanted it. I'm engaged to a wonderful boy who thinks my hair is beautiful and is always praising it. I can't thank Hi-Ja enough. It has made me the happiest girl in Chicago."

E & POTOMAC TELE JAMES E. WALKER POST MEETS The James E. Walker, Post, No. 26, American Legion held a meeting Thursday night, April 28, at the Twelfth Street Y. Reports of various committees were received and plans for Decoration Day were discussed. Chief among the reports was the post club house plan, outlined by Comrade P. Y. Hamilton and the announcement of the third annual joint memorial services of the Joint Memorial Association of Military Societies, which will be held this year at Ebenezer M. E. Church, Fourth and D streets, southeast, on Sunday, May 29, at 8 p.m. The post plans the sale of a large number of the Flanders Field popies beginning with the week of the 22nd. The proceeds are to be used for the welfare fund of the post.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHOR AL SOCIETY TRIUMPHS IN HIAWATHA Under the magnificent leadership of Luhu Vere Childers, director of the conservatory of music, the choral society of Howard University gave a faultless rendition of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha" on Wednesday evening, May 4. The work of the chorus in diction, in attack, and in shading was perfect, indeed the enunciation of the chorus was so clear that one scarcely needed the libertate. The freshness and beauty of their voices deserves especial mention. The soloists were especially fine. Miss Avis Andrews, the young soprano, has a voice of sweetness, volume and range which she uses with good judgement at all times. Alexander Gatewood, the tenor, has a lovely voice which was especially fitted for the solos in Hiawatha. His pronunciation and enunciation were a joy, and one will not soon forget his singing of "Onaway, Awake Beloved." Barrington Guy sang the baritone solos with dramatic power, his voice being well suited to the work he had to do. The audience was enthusiastic in its applause.

E. WILSON, Proprietors FLOOD WATERS EMANCIATE PEON SLAVES FLOOD WATERS EMANCIATE PEON SLAVES cuers, that Government intervention was threatened. Over 1000 Negroes alone in this section were in imminent danger of death because of the refusal to permit them to be moved to higher ground. On account of the climatic conditions in this section as well as the peculiar problems of Delta land farming, it is difficult to go into the open market and hire farm workers. The whole section is infested with malaria. The ratio of Negroes to white in the Delta counties ranges from four to one to as high as seven to one. Because of the refusal of these peonage farm owners to move their workers to points of safety, many workers have been drowned. However, the loss of property by Negroes in these sections has not been great, because most of them do not own any property, either personal or real. It is the policy of these peonage farms to never permit their Negro workers to have any salable property or any money for fear that they will flee the plantations. Of course, they are paid no wages; they merely get "substantial"—such as it is. Kept Herded Together Now, however, that the waters have forced thousands of them into refuge camps at Memphis, Natchez, Vicksburg and New Orleans, the peonage farmers' problem is to prevent them for associating with the so-called city Negroes and also to keep them herded together so that when the flood waters have receded, they can again be carried back into their bondage and there begin the work of repairing the damage done by the flood. Negro welfare agents entering the flood area are questioned very closely as to their plans. Because of fear that money contributed by Negroes may be disbursed among the refugees and may be used for railroad tickets to points north, the officials of the Red Cross and other white agencies handling relief, are insisting that this money be turned over to them. Thousands of dollars raised in the South have already been turned over to these white agencies. Notwithstanding this, a new exodus to the North, East and West has been started from the flood section. Because of the poverty of most of the victims, however, many of them who would gladly go cannot leave unless given help. Negroes Killed The distribution of food, clothing, money, etc., is going to the whites. The state militia for various vague or unstated reasons have killed several Negroes, according to reports. Well informed observers state that if the flood does nothing more than give thousands of Negroes an opportunity to escape from the slave life on the peonage farms, this alone will more than compensate for the less suffered by the race because of the flood waters. Delegates to the National Association of College Women Who Held Their Annual Convention Here at the Y. W. C. A. TRIAL TO BE GIVEN DUN-BAR PROFESSON TRIAL TO BE GIVEN DUN-BAR PROFESSON (Continued from page 1) by the board April 6, Charles F. Carusi, president of the board, and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett voting against approval. Under date of April 2, Mr. Menard demanded pay for the period of his suspension. The board referred his demand to a special committee consisting of Henry Gilligan and Isaac Gans to determine whether it had authority to certify him for pay for this time. This special committee made its report to the board last Wednesday. It was unanimously approved. It is as follows: The Report "Mr. Menard makes a plea for a salary deducted during the period of his suspension. The committee finds that appropriations made by Congress are only for service rendered, and it has been held by the District authorities that a teacher under suspension has no redress, under any circumstances, except through the courts. We therefore report that the board has no authority to certify Mr. Menard for payment of his salary during suspension. "The memorandum of Mr. Menard raises the very serious question that a grieve injustice has been done him in the board's treatment of the charges brought against him, and he states that these charges were investigated and found to have no merit. "Your committee calls the attention of the board to the fact that all papers in this case were referred to the United States District Attorney. The report of the District Attorney does not, as claimed by Mr. Menard, disclose that there was no case against him. "In the light of the rules of the board and the adoption of the statement submitted at the April 6th meeting by President Carusi and because of the nature of the communication from Mr. Menard hereinbefore referred to, your committee is of the opinion that Mr. Menard should be given a trial by the Board of Education in accordance with its rules interpreting section 10 of the Act of June 20, 1906, under the changes which have hereforebeen preferred against him, to the end that he may, if found innocent, be freed fully and completely from the charge of an offense against morality; and, if found guilty by the board, that he be dismissed from the service." A communication from Miss Ardella G. Parks suspended teacher of the Mott School, was considered by the board in executive session. Miss Parks is to be tried by the board on a charge of having thrown acid in the face of Arthur James. No date has yet been set for her trial. Petition Denied The board denied the petition of Teachers' Union, No. 27. The union requested the board to recall or redraft its policy outlined in a circular sent out by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou. This policy puts the burden upon teachers to prove their innocence of any rumors conboard. The union attacked it as cerning them that may reach the un-American, and in violation of the organic act. An answer drafted by President Carusi and approved by the board declared that the union had misconstrued the statement of policy and that there is no intention on the part of the board to dispense with a full and fair trial of accused teachers. Other Business A petition of the Georgetown Civic Association opposing the matriculation of married women in, and their graduation from, the Miner Normal School and senior high schools was referred to Superintendent Ballon, who is making an investigation of this question. This petition favored limiting entrance to the normal schools to one year from date of graduation from high school. A request of the Barry Farm Citizens' Associations for provision in the school estimates for an eight-room school at Morris road, southeast, was referred to the finance committee. --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY.

Dean Lucy D. Slowe who was re-elected president, made a plea for unity among all college women throughout the United States. She urged college women to form one organization in every city and town for the purpose of concentrating their influence. She pointed out that colored college women need to present a united front in attacking community problems, whether they be educational, political or social. She aroused much enthusiasm by her declaration that, "in our effort to get civic justice and the privilege of citizens, it may be necessary for us to follow in the footsteps of the militant suffragists and go to jail, if need be, in defense of what is ours by right of our citizenship." She called attention to the prominent part being played by Chinese women in defense of their country, and in defense of their rights as women, and urged colored college women to profit by their example. The members of the association pledged over $700 for the work of the coming year. Cincinnati and Cleveland have been mentioned as possible places of meeting for the next convention.

MAY MEET IN NEW YORK UNMOLESTED (Continued from page 1) any of its officers, agents, representatives or employees to use fraudulently the name or title of any secret fraternal society, association, order or organization which has had a grand lodge in that state for 10 years. The use of any limitation of such name or title so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive is also a misdemeanor. For the violation of these laws punishment is fixed at imprisonment for not more than 3 years or by a fine of not more than $1,000 for each offense. The statement of Deputy Attorney General Brown regarding the right of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks to hold its next grand lodge session in New York is not an opinion. He made it clear that the department of law of New York state, of which Attorney General Albert Ottinger is the head, does not furnish opinions or advice to others than the departments and officers of the state government. After citing the so-called Gratton law, he said: "Some time prior to May, 1912, a suit was instituted by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World and others, which resulted in a judgment restraining the defendants from using a corporate name so closely resembling that of the plaintiff as to be calculated to mislead and deceive the public and persons having transactions with either corporation, and forbidding the defendants from using the same titles for their officers as those borne by the officers of the plaintiff and prohibiting the defendants from using the colors of the plaintiff, purple and white. "On appeal to the Court of Appeals of this State, the injunction was modified by striking out the provision forbidding the use of the titles of officers and the colors, but was affirmed in so far as it restrained the use of the name. I understand that this injunction is still in full force and effect. "It is also my understanding that, notwithstanding this injunction, the subordinate lodges of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World have been permitted to continue as an organization under its original name without molestation by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and that they are now holding their meetings and transacting their business under their original corporate names. "I also understand that the resolution of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World to hold its 1927 meeting in New York city was adopted after invitation had been received from the Mayor and other city officials of the city of New York and that the Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks had given permission for the convention to be held in that city." HOWARD MEDICAL NEWS Dr. A. M. Curtis, professor of surgery in the Howard University College of Medicine, lectured to the staff of Freedmen's Hospital on "Pancreatic Cyst." At their regular monthly meeting Monday, Dr. Curtis presented a most unusual and interesting case report. The case was diagnosed by Dr. Norman Harris; and the history and laboratory reports - were done by Samuel Stuard, a senior medical student. Dr. Hurst presented a series of X-ray pictures which were made showing the progress of the case. A general discussion followed. Dr. Curtis gave a description of the operation - he performed, when he removed the cyst from the pancreas. The cyst was about the size of a man's head. The patient is recovering. FRESHMEN MEDICS COLLECT $500 The freshmen medics under the direction of Dr. Goens, assisted by Mr. Patterson, have collected $500 of their desired $1000 for the medical endowment fund. Each student was to send a letter to 25 of his close and intimate friends and ask them for a dollar. This method was originated by Dr. Goens. The plan has only been in operation two weeks and this $500 has been the cause for great expectations. JUNIOR COLLEGE CLASS TO RAISE $1000 The junior class of the College of Liberal Arts under the direction of its president, Mr. Douglass, has voted to raise $1000 at least for the medical endowment fund. A plan similar to that of the freshmen class was laid before them at their last regular class meeting by the writer of this column, and they were very enthusi- ?

The dollar money report of the conference was $10,763.26. Appointments were made at the conference to the various churches in its jurisdiction. Only two changes were made in the appointments to churches in the Potomac district, which includes Washington. Rev. P. A. Scott, of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, was sent to Cambridge, Md. and Rev. J. A.

THE SPORT REVIEW All of Big Three Colleges Place at Penn Relay Carnival ```markdown ``` Soup Turner and Lefty Smith former LeDroit Tigers cavorted in fine style for the Washington Black Sox last Sunday at Union Park. Turner turned in two sensational stops, though unable to make the throws. Smith hurled in midseason form to turn in a 6-1 victory in the second game. Neagle Ellis former Tech baseball captain and all round athlete has been signed by the LeDroit Tigers. Ellis was selected by Captain Burrell Kenner to fill the gap lift by the departure of Soup Turner. He showed up well in the double-header, Sunday against the Myrtles. It remains a mystery to us how colored boys in white colleges under white coaches are able to make such good records and yet so few are developed in colored colleges where the quantity of material is much greater. De Hart Hubbard, probably one of 45 or 50 colored boys at Michigan has gained world recognition. Of no more than 15 race lads at Harvard, Ned Gourdin won fame. Now we find Cecil Cooke literally "walking away" from all sorts of competition on the cinders. Cooke it from Syracuse. Charlie Drew went to Amherst where he became one of the country's fastest Collegeiate hurdlers. Just why is it that few lads from our own Colleges where aspirants are numerous are able to accomplish achievements that might parallel those of Hubbard, Drew, Cooke, etc. That's funny, what's wrong? All interested in the organization of a baseball league for boys under 16 years of age get in touch with the Sports-editor as soon as possible. How many over 16 and under 20 have teams they would like a place in a league? Let's hear from you. Hiemle Curtis, one time catcher extraordinaire of the Y.M.C.A. nine, was on the receiving end of the Post Office battery for the opening game. The Manassas Institute Relay team won her class race at the Penn Relays last week. Coach Teddy Chamberls' boys showed their heels in faster time than any of the High School teams entered. Why is it that colored baseball games are so intolerably slow? The double-header at Union League Park last Sunday started nicely, but after the first few innings of the opening game the players began dragging in from their positions with little or no life. When managers learn that faster games mean larger crowds baseball in Washington will doubtless gain in popularity. Fans who pay to witness a ball game hate to see the players walking with no hurry whatever to and from their fielding positions each one talking with another. Wake up, players! Stop chatting—start trotting. Competition in the Departmental League should be much fastre and keener this season. Each team is League should be much faster and in most cases these outsiders are drafted from semi-pro teams. will be represented at the Howard will be represented at the Howard meet. Whether this means the entire team or no cannot be ascertained, but we can rely on their having some of their runners "in the holes" at the local stadium May 14.

Golf is fast becoming a major sport among our lovers of athletics. We caught Soup Turner and Van Harris coming up from the Potomac links last Monday afternoon. Slim Carter says "It won't be long," before more will "come on over." SPEARS' LEG AMPUTATED Reuben Spears, former Wendell Phillips High School star basketball player, and later captain of the Howard University court team, underwent an operation last week at an Atlantic City Hospital. The Chicago boy's leg was amputated. Spears has been confined to bed in the hospital for quite some time as a result of a broken leg suffered in an automobile accident when his team, the Baltimore Athenians, was returning from a game with the Buccaneers of New Jersey. The automobile in which Spears, and several of his teammates were traveling was in collision with a large truck. Spears was the only member of the squad who was hunt. The injured lad had been in the hospital two weeks when he became a victim of scarlet fever. BLACK SOX SPLIT IN TWIN BILL After hurling scoreless ball for 4 innings, Spike Bland, on the mound for the Washington Black Sox in their opening game-last Sunday, weakened and allowed the Hartford All-Stars (white), to overcome a 3 run lead and win by a 6-4 margin. Chase's homer in the fifth, scoring Behrle ahead of him put the Stars ahead. Fee Collier, former Gonzaga star, opened with a single for the white boys' first hit of the game. Jackson, Sox first, baseman, fielded Behrle's neat bunt, and threw wild to Brown covering the sack. Collier attempted to make third base on the play, but was snagged on O. Brown's perfect peg to Ford. With a count of 3 and 1 on him, Chase hit the next pitch over the left field fence for a homer. Grant overran Panella's drive to right, and the latter on Miles' Texas leaguer, to center which fell between Turner, Fauntroy and Brown. S. Collier lofted to Grant. The Sox tied the count in their half of the frame. Brown drew a pass. Turner doubled to left center. Brown stopping at third. Fauntroy's infield out-scored Brown and advanced Turner. Ford then singled off Chase' glove and the Black Sox shortstop crossed the counting block. Two runs counted in the Hartford half of the sixth when Fee Collier scratched a hit through short, Behrle and Panella singled. With the sacks thus crowded Miles crashed a hit past Ford. After this the white lads were never headed. The nightcap was a battle of southpaws, Lefty Smith finishing on the long end of a 6-1 verdict against Lefty Tripp, Washington's leading white portside twirler. The Hartfords were able to connect for only 3 scattered hits one of which paired with an error netted their lone run. Tripp was touched for 6 hits and 6 runs.

IN TENNIS LAWRENCEVILLE, Va., April 30.—In their second annual dual tennis tournament held here today St. Paul Normal and Industrial School won five out of six matches from Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. A colorful and enthusiastic crowd of tennis spectators witnessed the brilliant tennis games on the old celebrated clay court. The playing of the youngsters of the respective schools was of the first order, and the snappy and alert performance of the individual players and their excellent sportsmanship featured. Singles—Booker (St. Paul) defeated Morris (V.N. & I.I.), 6-2, 6-0. Poole (St. Paul), defeated Wood (V.N. & I.I.), 6-2, 6-2. Lee (V.N. & I.I.), defeated Turner (St. Paul), 1-6, 6-2, 6-2.

B. Henderson, head of the department of physical education in the high schools in this city. While Mr. Henderson did not direct the letter to this Column, our opinion is that the splendid ideal it carires, warrants its use here. The letter follows: "It would be a lesson worth while if the leaders in the various segregated fields of endeavor would get out from among colored people solely, sometimes, and attend these big athletic gatherings where Jew and gentile—white, black, yellow and red young men compete. "In the big rain-soaked Franklin Field stadium of the University of Pennsylvania, Saturday, all races mingled in the dressing rooms, in the stands, and shoulder to shoulder on the cinder path. No friction was encountered other than in the struggle to excel. Cheers were lustily given for the black boy from Syracuse or for the white boy from Georgia or Alabama when skill or gameness warranted it. "Cecil Cooke was the bug gun of the day. Having won the Intercollegiate 440 last year he is a marked man during his athletic career. In the premier race of the day, the American college mile championship relay, Cooke running anchor for Syracuse, landed the title amidst the plaudits of the crowd." "Hampton Institute running in the relays for the first time, landed the American championship for normal schools. Howard and Lincoln universities did well, but they were able only to place. Neither team will be able to do its best until this C.I.A.A. deadlock ends. "The striking thing of the day was the splendid exhibition of the Manassas team which won its high school class relay in the fastest time fun by any high school of the hundreds entered representing the big schools of the East. Since Teddy Chambers has been coaching and teaching the Northern Virginia School, his athletes have brought undying fame to the institution. Colored boys were running on many of high school and college teams and invariably they did well. "Considered in connection with the above comments, it might be interesting to recall the matter of the withdrawal of the Amateur Athletic Union track and field meet from New Orleans to New York for the reason that the mayor and chamber of commerce of New Orleans could not see colored athletes compating with white athletes in their fair city. "Even in the face of the possible destruction of the city and all their material resources by flood, the venom of race prejudice implanted in the minds of these people have done its work too thoroughly and too well. When the meet was bid for by the Louisiana folks they did not know what type of a man Secretary Rubiens of the A.A.U. was. . . . "Rubiens sent word that, 'If New Orleans wants the meet the city must permit Negroes to compete. The A.A.U. can not disfranchise anyone on account of race or creed.' Mr. Rubiens is reported to have said, 'Since Negroes competing for the United States abroad have won honors, it would be a strange thing to refuse them the right to compete in the national games of their own country.'" E. B. HENDERSON." Strange as it may seem to the New Orleans' chamber of commerce—who would place a ban on the participation of colored athletes in the A.A.U. championships, if such championships were held in that city, "that their town might be kept clean"—Franklin Field is none the dirtier, except for peanut shells and candy wrappers, following the presence of colored boys on the track there last Friday and Saturday. Such athletes as Howard Drew, Ned Gourdin, Sol Butler and DeHart Hubbard are kept out of competition in parts of their own country where honors won mean personal gain, not because of their lack of ability or sportsmanship, but because of the color of their skin. White boys will leave their homes in Texas, journey north to Syracuse or Harvard universities and play side by side with Negroes on baseball or football teams. They will dress with them, dine with them and, in some instances, associate with them generally. That goes on as long as they are North. Let these same lads be called South, however, and the moment they go lower than the imaginary Mason-Dixon line the entire affair takes on a different aspect. Such is the case—the same white boys who ran against Cecil Cooke and other lads of color at Franklin Field will find reason on their arrival at New Orleans, to object to the entry of Negroes in the same races with them. How often do we find the University of Virginia track or baseball team in competition with Hampton Institute at Richmond or Norfolk or anywhere below the Mason-Dixon for that matter? Who recalls a meeting between Howard and Geofgetown? Lincoln ran second to Villa Nova in her race at the Penn Relays How many times would that be possible at Newport News? Tiger Flowers Begins Training For Bout With Mickey Walker NEW YORK, May 6, (Thomas Feature Service).—The storm that has been rumbling and threatening from the South finally broke, and if we can take Walk Miller's word for it, the fury will surpass the Miama disaster. His royal Bengal pet, Tiger Flowers, started his warming up campaign for the Mickey Walker match. He warmed up muchly against Chuck Wiggins over in Buffalo. The reports state that he gave the tough party from the Hoosier state a murderous mauling for ten rounds. Chuck tipped the scales at 181 pounds and only recently whaled the rough spots off Johnny Risko, after stopping him on a previous occasion and also pasting Solly Montgomery in a most artistic fashion. The second bout of the series of warming up exercises will take place at New Haven, Conn., with Leo Gates as his battery mate. The Tiger is up to his old antics again, Jack Dillon, Harry Grb and Flowers have probably battled out of their class against the big boys more than any boxers in the past decade. Bob Fitzsimmons, Ray Neuman, Eddie Huffman, Clem Johnson, Tut Jackson, Battling Gehee, Pat McCarthy, Benny Ross and Dan O'Dowd are only a few Flowers' up, mpg, arms forced 37 bovens accept Shade, leading refuses of a rn see his champion By Fairdeal THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927 New Orleans' chamber of commerce—participation of colored athletes in the championships were held in that city, olean"—Franklin Field is none the land and candy wrappers, following the back there last Friday and Saturday.

Site Sought for Summer Camp Walk Miller recently told the writer that he was out scouting for a desirable site to establish a training camp for Flowers somewhere up state, in the mountains near a lake. This summer camp will have all the necessary implements for conditioning a boxer, also where the Tiger can do a little rowing and fishing in his idle moments. Miller declares that his health farm down in Georgia has convinced him that it is far more profitable to raise fighters than cattle and hogs—the upkeep is no more and it brings a better price per head on the hoof. In the future this establishment will be used to develop the younger generation who show promise. Flowers, according to his manager's plans, will start to tuning up, meeting all comers of all colors and weights, even if he is forced to beat his own record of 37 bouts in a year. He will then accept the best offer to meet Dave Shade and George Courtney, the leading contenders. If Walker still refuses to make good his promise of a return match, it is difficult to see how the public can regard Flowers as anything else than the champion. E. B. HENDERSON. ```markdown ``` HOWARD FOUR IN FASTER COMPANY HOWARD FOUR IN FASTER COMPANY The Big Three of Colored College life had relay teams to place in the Thirty-third Annual Relay Carnival held on Franklin Field, April 29 and 30 when quartets from Howard, Lincoln and Hampton were among the first three teams to finish in their respective divisions. The Bison team ran third in its event, the 1 mile College Relay, Bates and Rutgers were first and second in the affair in which Howard was represented. Lincoln's four was second to Villa Nova in another of the 1 Mile-College Relays. The winner's time in this event was slower than that of the victor in the race in which the Bisons participated. Hampton's relay team won the one-mile championship of the normal schools of America. This was Hampton's first appearance in the Penn Relays. The team was composed of Louis Snowden, Ernest J. Clark, George Gray, and Joseph Baldwin. The race was won over thirteen State normal schools in rain and mud, in time 3.39-2.5. The members of the winning team received gold wrist watches and the institute the Franklin Medal, on which is the figure of Benjamin Franklin and four athletes, each representing a different type. On the ground above are the words, "Relay Carnival, founded in 1895" and beneath the figures, the words "University of Pennsylvania." TWIN BILLS ARE SPLIT IN UNION TWIN BILLS ARE SPLIT IN UNION The Union Baseball League, showing a host of new faces, got off to a flying start last Sunday afternoon on three different diamonds. The Piedmont-Lafayette engagement at Alexandria drew the largest gallery. Virginians turned out in large numbers to take advantage of the wonderful weather and view the proceedings. The newly organized Piedmonts showed capable material taking the opener but dropping the nightcap. At 24th Street and Benning Road, northeast the championship Le Droit Tiger aggregation divided two games with the Myrtle A.C. The first game went to the Le-Droits in handy fashion when the Myrtles found it difficult to connect with the southpaw slant of Lefty Wiggins. "Cat" Taylor, however was in form in the closing fray, and the champions met defeat. A large crowd was on hand, and every one went away satisfied with the brand of all they saw. Next Sunday the Le Drois meet the Orientalts at South Capitol and P streets, while the Piedmonts and Myrtles hook up on the northeast diamond. The Washington Giants will be guests in Alexandria to the Lafayettes. SCHEDULE OF THE EASTERN COLORED LEAGUE Each week there will appear here the schedule of the Eastern Colored League for a week.

SHAW WINSTWO SHAW WINSTWO The Shaw Junior High Basketball team won a pair of games in the past week, which shows better than anything else the improvement the boys have made since they were barely nosed out by the Armstrong nine several weeks ago. On Wednesday, April 27, the Phelps Vocational team was dealt a neat 17-8 lacing by the wearers of the Green and White while Coach Evans' Dunbar nine went down before the rejuvenated Junior High team 10-6 Monday at the High School stadium. Jasper, winning pitcher in the Phelps tilt, displayed a nice assortment of curves. Beverly, on the mound in the game against the Red and Black boys pitched good ball, keeping the Dunbar hits fairly well scattered. On Thursday, May 11 the M Streeters will tackle the nine wearing the Orange and Blue colors. Both Coaches, Adams and Rucker, are looking forward to stiff competition. RAIN BLOTS OUT EASTERN LEAGUE OPENING GAMES RAIN BLOTS OUT EASTERN LEAGUE OPENING GAMES President Nutter Upholds Keenan's Contention in Montalvo Case By Lloyd P. Thompson With everything set to pry off the lid in the Eastern Colored League last Saturday, Jupiter Pluvius, the moist merchant butted in on the affairs and washed out the Hilldale-Harrisburg tilt that was scheduled for Hilldale Park and at the same time erased the Cuban-Lincoln fray that was to have been played at Mount Holly, N. J., one of the neutral parks that has been taken over by the league in an effort to play an increased schedule. Just what the rain prevented is purely a matter for conjecture but with the "dopesters" always busy the matter can be viewed from a plausible angle. Without a doubt the present combination carrying the banner of Colonel Ströthers' Harrisburg Giants, is one of the toughest combinations in the the circuit and the great array of hitting strength collected places the outfit in a class by its self on the offense, Oscar Charleston, Johnnie Beckwith, "Heavy" Johnson and Walter Cannady players who hit the ball hard and consistently and the remainder of the club; "Fats" Jenkins, Connie Day, Perez and Gamiz, the Cubans round out a tough assignment for any hurler. Strothers Needs Pitchers On the defense the Senators also rate very high with a well balanced team that is fast afield and on the base paths. However, the vulnerable spot of the crew from Harrisburg, or where it appears that the opponents will find a weakness is in the hurling staff. At least a couple of first string pitchers are badly needed on Strothers' pitching staff and just where he is to pick up these talented flingers is a matter that is giving grave concern to the Beckwith Charleston combination. The Hilldale outfit with very near the same club, but minus "Bizz" Mackey has a problem on its hands in the catching department. At the present time Joe Lewis; the Baltimore boy, is carrying the burden and making a creditable showing. In the two former years that Lewis was a member of the Darby Daisies, he was given but a limited opportunity to show his ability behind the pan. This, of course, was occasioned because of Santop and Mackey being on the same staff. But with the present conditions Lewis will have all of the catching he can handle and it may be the bringing out of latent ability. John Henry Lloyd may give the rest of the clubs in the circuit considerable more trouble than is expected from the Bronx aggregation. Lloyd Good Leader The acquisition of Connie Rector means a whole lot to the club. This capable right hander will give Lloyd another experienced boxman that was greatly needed. Then, too, Lloyd has the natural ability as a leader and the knack of getting the most out of his men and inspiring mediocre players to heights of stardom. "The Cuban Stars are bigger and better," thus sayeth Alex Pompez, the suave mentor of the island outfit. That the Stars went over big last season is attested by the fact that they stayed out in front of the race for the major portion of the season, but in the stretch the Cubans "let down" and finished in fourth place. Reserve strength was the thing lacking when the islanders faltered and reserve strength has Pompez added in landing Alfonso, a new third sacker. Irquios a catcher, and Cifo and Valdez, a pair of flingers. With these men added to the regulars, Pompez says "watch our smbe." The Montalvo Case Montalvo, the Cuban outfielder, who is now in New York has caused a mild furor in the baseball circle and may yet result in a breach between the leagues. Keenan's contention for the player is sustained by President Nutter of the Eastern League. But while Montalvo wore the Giants' uniform and was on the field, he was withheld from the line-up when Hildale and the Lincoln Giants played at New York Sunday. Meanwhile the litigation goes on marrily. LINCOLN HERE ON MAY 14 St. Bonaventure College of New York City to Compete In a letter of recent date to the management of the national open championships and interscholastic track and field meet to be held at Howard University, May 14. Robert McCarthy, manager of track athletics at St. Bonaventure College, New York, advises that certain members of his varsity team will compete for the point trophy at the Howard meet, May 14. The Ottley Brothers, who have been cleaning up in the sprints and hurdles are entered, along with Charles Major, the high jumper, and Gus Moore, the distance man. These make up the stars of the team. Ottleys to Appear Vincent Ottley is entered in the 100-and 200-yard dashes and the broad jump, while Jerome Ottley is entered in the 220-yard low hurdles and 100-yard dash.

SPEED MERCHANTS Here we have three of the Blue and White track mainstays. Left to right they are: Joe Carter, captain; Keneth Hill, and Lige Williams. Carter and Williams are the two upon whom Coach West pins his hopes in the sprints, while Captain Hill, who is anchor man on the relay team, can be relied on to turn in some fast time in the 440-yard dash. jump, which makes them dangerous in their events. Charles Major has already demonstrated that he is one of the best high jumpers in the country, having tied with Osborne in a recent meet. He is now in exceptional form, having jumped 6 feet, 4 inches, in New York City. Gus Moore, the stellar distance runner, needs no introduction. Lincoln on Program Leon S. Roye, manager of track athletics at Lincoln University, advises that Lincoln will be represented in the Howard meet. This official announcement clears up certain misapprehensions respecting Lincoln-Howard relationships. With the entry of the Lincoln squad and St. Bonaventure squad, the meet gives promise of developing into one of the fastest inter-collegiate meets of recent years. The large Howard squad will not have things its own way this year. Fast steppers from Northern institutions are sure to split the points. Local athletes who have been counted on as sure firsts are working up a deal of anxiety as a result of the above announcement. SEVEN of Physical Education. The High School Cadet Band, led by Professor Miller furnished music for the occasion. Baseball, schlag ball, dodge ball and volley ball games were in evidence. Both sexes participated, and home runs were as numerous in the girls' baseball tilts as in the boys.

BLUE BIRD CAFE FOR WHOLESOME APPETIZING SURROUNDINGS After the Theatre For Select Parties Refinement and Service at all times with BEST FOOD DAINTY DISHES REASONABLE PRICES The New Management Assures You Every Courtesy THE BLUE BIRD CAFE Fla. Ave. AT 6th St., N.W. Footlights By "Mac" The Republic Theatre is running some pretty good acts now on Saturday nights. Last Saturday the bill included Pink and Pink, comedy and song artists, Donveor and Donveor, and Johnny Jordan. Pink and Pink were about the best bet on the bill. I'd rate them about 80 on their entertaining value. This Saturday, the Republic will present Wilson and McGarr, and Eldridge and Spencer. They're said to be good, especially the latter two. "The Kentucky Club Revue" has came and is about to went. But, oh, boy! while here, it surely has been packing them in. And why not? It's about as good as any that has been to the Howard for quite some time. From the front of the stage the show looks mighty good. And from backstage, oh boy; that Egyptian scene was "stew bad." I was talking to Slater, director of the show, and he gave me the low-down on the New York raid at the Lafayette Theatre. Contrary to publications in several papers, it wasn't a wholesale swooping down on the show by the entire New York police force. As explained to me, this is what happened: The show had been going along smoothly, until the manager of the Lafayette asked Slater to put a little ginger into the acts. The most appropriate place to insert the "ginger" of course, seemed to be in the Egyptian scene. And the "ginger" added the straw that broke the camel's back. But there was no rush to pull the entire show into custody. The police simply notified the girls who appeared in the scene to get dressed after the show and accompany them. The only other person taken beside these girls was the manager of the house. The affair could not have been of serious nature, however, since the girls were allowed to leave the city and continue the same act with the show. They are to appear in court in New York on May 24. What I'm trying to figure out, though, is how any more ginger could be put into that Egyptian act. Slater says that the best part of it is still in New York. The snake dancer, who is sald to be a real "whang," could not accompany the show outside of New York because her husband desired her presence near him. I guess he's right. Mr. Byars of the Broadway Theatre, seems to know his stuff. He knows that the White Brothers' Orchestra is a feast for the ears—hence his audience seeks his house for a star feature of local talent. I hear that Maceo Pinkett, the writer of "Sweet Georgia Brown," has put out a new song called "Sugar." It ought to be sweet. Have you heard of the little accident Lawrence Chenault, the popular stage and screen star, had in New York? The ceiling in his home fell and caught him under it, and of course, he was hurt. It wasn't so very serious though. The Lincoln brought us something good, and new, this week, and by popular demand, Kirkpatrick and Bowman have been held over for another week. Their little act surely went over big. In other words, they know their stuff." Next week they will close with an operatic presentation, which really ought to be good. Both of them seem fitted to enact such parts. The Howard management has announced that among the big shows coming there in the near future are "4-11-44," "Lucky Sambo," and "Southland Club." This column will publish in the future the names of actors and actresses appearing in the shows at the Howard who have been so fortunate as to have been born in Washington, or who at some time made their home here. A rather poor week was picked to begin this policy, however, for there is only one Washington girl in the "Kentucky Club Revue." She is Miss Bertha Young, one of the members of the Egyptian chorus. It just seems that I can't get away from that Egyptian scene. Everything I write about causes me to mention it. I suppose I'd better stop before I tell you how many times I've been backstage. POLA NEGRI AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK. Starting Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 8, 9 and 10, the Lincoln Theatre presents Pola Negri in "Hotel Imperial." This drama is acclaimed by critics to be the best production in which Miss Negri has ever appeared. It is adapted from the sensational novel by Lajos Biro. The story is laid in a hotel on the Austro-Russian frontier and depicts vividly the Russian invasion during 1915. Pola Negri in 'Hotel Imperial' A Paramount Picture The plot unfolds itself with Pola Negri in the role of chambermaid and for whose love a fugitive Hungarian officer, and a Russian general are rivals for her hand and heart. It is around this trio, two who are representatives of the active military armies, that the author has woven this tremendously dramatic plot, and vividly reveals the re-actions of war on human beings, and their influence over their conduct. On Wednesday and Thursday, May 11 and 12, will be seen the screen's favorite comedine, Constance Talmadge, in "Venus of Venice," having as her co-star Antonio Moreno. The story in itself is very colorful, being laid in and around Venice with its beautiful canals, gondolas and gorgeous old buildings. In this production Constance portrays the role of "Carlotta" a wild, wicked and winsome water waif and snatcher of purses and hearts. One of the most thrilling scenes of this rolicking story is the climax of a theft at a wedding. To see how she eludes the police, and the fun that follows, is what has made this picture a popular screen play. On Friday and Saturday, May 13 and 14, will be seen Jack Holt in his latest Paramount production, "Man of the Forest," adapted from Zane Grey's novel of the same name. This is a story of the West and the great out-of-doors, and is woven around a girl who comes to the West to claim a ranch left her by her uncle. In the events that followed she shoots and arrests the man she loves, and then falls into the hands of the real villains who are plotting to steal the ranch from her. This is but a start of the events of this production. Saturday only there will be shown the Pathe serial with Cullen Landis in "On Guard." On Saturday morning only at 10:30 there will be a special performance for children with an especially arranged picture. By demand the two stellar stars Kirkpatrick and Bowman will be held over for a second week. This time they will present a novelty singing act. These two stars have played to capacity houses all the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927 manageye have as thrill- solid year the amazing story of a weak- hearted, soft muscled young man of piratical ancestry who found himself through the inspiration of love—a picture de luxe.

It will the actors out of work—an On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the management has brought back because of popular demand "The Winning of Barbara Worth" with Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky. Onward—forward marched the endless stream of humanity that would make the desert bloom as the rose. To hope and dream and plan with this adorable girl of the West; to-share her faith in men and miracles; to cry with her when the heart of the desert reveals her secret—and then—to thrill with her as the dream of the mighty West is realized, is what the man who loved her did. You will tingle all over at this soul-gripping spectacle of man's fight for love and power. You will gasp at this tremendous production, thrilling with sweep and action, engrossing with its vivid and colorful romance. On Friday night, the regular mid-night ramble will start at 12:15 sharp, with two and one-half hours of good entertainment. Tickets are on sale at the box office beginning Saturday of the week before the show. Now as to the show business I regret to say that this was a bad year for promoters and theatre owners as well. I don't believe that one per cent of the theatres made a dime. I know several promoters who lost lots of money. Two of the three big colored shows "7-11" "Lucky Sambo," and "4-11-44," have cut their shows down and are now playing colored time. Just what the coming season will bring forth is not known, but unless there are several changes in show business in general it looks bad. It is up to the producer to offer something new and attractive and at the right price. Can this be done? If I had to answer I would say, "Yes." But salaries must be cut, the number of railroad tickets must be less. How can it be done? We are getting fewer principals, let us pay them more salary; the same applies to chorus girls. When such a movement is made then you will see better attractions.

Sanford, Mgr. 4 DAYS 4 Sunday, Monday, URBAN LEAGUE GIVES REPORTON INDUSTRYMARCH Bulletain No. 13, of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions as follows: General Conditions Employment improved somewhat during March, the advance coming late in the month. The iron and steel plants, in which a large proportion of Negroes are employed, showed improvement in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Prolonged unemployment periods in the West were eased and the month closed with brighter prospects for April. Reports from our associates in scattered parts of the United States tell of unemployment and curtailment in working hours almost without exception. This caused a general restlessness with the result that workers moved back and forth among cities within easy reach of each other. Baltimore and Columbus, usually fruitful cities for Negro workers and among the last to feel the depression, reported large numbers out of work. Specific reasons were given for the shortage of work among Negroes in certain cities. For instance, in Springfield, Illinois, mine lockouts or strikes have forced some 5,000 men out of work, of whom 225 were Negroes; and in Florida work ordinarily done by Negroes is being taken from them and given to whites, and wages have been cut. In Milwaukee the retirement of colored waiters has been forced by patrons of a large hotel. Organized Labor Here and there were incidents showing relationship with organized labor. In Baltimore, the Young Workers Labor Party has been especially active—two colored speakers appearing at its open forum. One half of the brick-masons of Lexington, Kentucky, who received a raise from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour were Negroes. In Philadelphia, through the Armstrong Association there, the co-operation of colored employees was sought and secured in a recent labor dispute between the Manufacturers' Association and the labor forces of that city.
