NEWSPAPER MAN WRITES OF FLOOD FROM ARKANSAS EUDORA, Ark—Little by little the real story of the tragedy in the greatest flood in the history of the United States is coming to light. While many Negro investigators have come into the flood area to investigate conditions among Negroes, they have been so well guarded and guided, that their trips have been little more than pleasure jaunts. Occasionally a story by a white newspaper writer gets through the censorship, as did one by A. H. Cashion of the Arkansas Democrat. In describing the conditions around Greenville, Miss., he said: "Condition here are pitiful. This beautiful little city of 10,000 people is a sea of water to the depth of two to ten feet. White people numbering several thousand are quartered in hotels, churches and second-story buildings. The Negro refugees line the levee, Tents, three deep for several miles along the side of the levee, furnish protection for a portion of them. Others are quartered in ware-houses and over 200 in the court house here. Many hundred cluster around fires built on the levee and are sleeping on sacks. "Sanitary conditions are very bad. The refugees being without city water. Rumors of all kinds are heard, but it is known that a Negro lodge hall here collapsed Sunday with 500 people in it, while a number of people were killed and injured. CHICAGO, Ill., May 19.—Unless the injunction in New York State against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World is dissolved by June 15, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson will change the place of meeting of the next grand lodge, which is scheduled to convene in New York City next August. In the event that the injunction shall not be vacated, he was instructed and empowered to select another city in another state of his choice where the grand lodge can legally and lawfully hold its 1927 session by the grand trustees, who met here last Friday to consider the report of a committee of lawyers who made an investigation of the right of the order to hold its annual session in New York City. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was instructed to inform Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, chairman of the committee of arrangements for the grand lodge in New York City that if the injunction is dissolved, the grand lodge will hold its next session in conformity with the action of the grand lodge in Cleveland last August. In a spirited contest between Detroit and New York it selected the latter city. Dissolution of the injunction must be obtained and certified to the Grand Exalted Ruler before June 15. If not, he is directed to call the grand lodge session to meet where there are no legal barriers. The resources of the grand lodge are to be put behind the FIRST in Advertising and Circulation The real stories of the tragedies, the sufferings and the inhuman treatment on the part of the Negro refugees who number over three-fourths of the total, will, in most cases never be known. "The loss of life, both human and animal, is impossible to estimate and it will be weeks before a final check-up is made. The Sprague left Sunday night for Vicksburg with over 200 white people aboard, but because many of the large planters wish to keep their labor here, more than 2000 Negroes were left, though Standard Oil officials, backed by National Guard officers, pleaded with these men to let them go. "The Barrett will stay until noon Monday on the chance that the Negroes will be released. "Other boats have carried approximately 2000 refugees out of here to Vicksburg where a refugee camp has been established. A Negro baby was born last night on the second floor of a warehouse here and another Negro woman gave birth to a child on the levee. Thousands of refugees are being fed at least one meal a day."

HUN VISITS SHRINE FREEDOM WA MRS. JAS. HUNT, "PINKEY", VISITS SHRINE WHERE HER FREEDOM WAS BOUGHT By F. H. M. Murray The celebration on last Sunday of the eighteenth anniversary of the founding of Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, was an occasion of far greater national importance than such celebrations usually are. This church might well be regarded as a shrine by the Negroes of America; for its first and greatest pastor, Henry Ward Beecher, was one of the very few pastors of his time who openly and militantly espoused the cause of the slave. On last Sunday, at the invitation of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, former president of Howard University, and now pastor of Plymouth, the church had as its special guest, Mrs. James Hunt, of this city, who as a little slave girl called "Pinkey" was the central figure of a dramatic occurrence in the church sixty-seven years ago. In this church several slaves were "sold" or the money raised by Mr. Beecher to buy their freedom. The most interesting of these incidents was the raising of $2000 at the morning services of Sunday, February 5, 1860, to secure the freedom of little "Pinkey" who was then living with her grandmother in this city "Pinkey" Virtually an Orphan The New York Tribune of February 6, 1860, in an account of this occurrence of the day previous, said that "Pinkey" was one of six children whose mother was a slave and whose father was a white physician—of course a man of high standing"—in the City of Washington. These children with the exception of this one, the youngest, were at various times sold; and the mother, too, was sold "down South." This one was put under care of her grandmother, who had bought her own freedom. During the Christmas week of 1859-1860, the grandmother received word that the child would be sold—that an offer of $800 had been made for her. Having heard, no doubt, of what Mr. Beecher had done on previous occasions—notably five years before when he had raised the money to buy one "Sarah"—the grandmother sought a Mr. John Falkner Blake who was living in Alexandria, Va., and whose brother was a member of Mr. Beecher's church. Mr. Blake visited the owner of "Pinkey"—whose real name was Sally Maria Diggs—and offered the then owner, John C. Cook, a slave trader, $900 for the child, provided that a few days' delay could be had. Under a bond to secure him in case the child was not returned, the trader allowed Mr. Blake to carry her to Brooklyn, in the hope and expectation that Mr. Beecher would obtain the money. ```markdown ``` THE CONPRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. Washington Tribune Correct Story of the Event famous painting, showing "Pink-chased (for her freedom) by money Plymouth Church, on Sunday, Febing was presented to Plymouth King on behalf of its owner, the the 50th anniversary of the "sale" The child was first introduced to the Sunday School of Plymouth Church, and the school, according to the New York Tribune report, raised $200 toward the amount needed. At the morning service in the Church, Mr. Beecher brought the matter to the attention of the congregation. The child was not actually "sold." as some of the papers have said, but a collection was taken up. The Correct Story The story of the occurrence as related in a sketch of Rose Terry Cooke, a noted authores, in a book entitled "Our Famous Women," published in 1884, is as follows: "She [Miss Rose Terry, her name was then] happened to attend Plymouth Church one morning when the pastor brought upon the platform a little colored child who was to be returned to slavery unless a certain sum of money could be paid for her at once, Mr. Beecher undertaking to raise that money in his church and set the child free. "As he told the story of her little life and wrongs, in his imitable manner, every heart was harrowed, none more so than that of Rose, who was half wild with excitement, wrought to a fever of pity and horror; and every purse flew open, and Rose had no purse about her. But on her hand . . . was a ring she valued, a ring with a single fine oval in its setting, if it had been the Orloff diamond it would have made no difference, it was all she had when the box came round, and she took it off and dropped it in. "It chanced that the ring exactly fitted one of the fingers of the little brown hand, and Mr. Beecher gave it to the child in token of her freedom and her friends, as the money raised was arply sufficient to purchase her safety; and presently advertising for information concerning the giver of the ring, he christened the child into the new life with the name of Rose. "If the reader should ever see a painting by Eastman Johnson, called 'The Freedom Ring,' where a child sits on a tiger-skin and looks curiously and gladly at a jewel on her hand, it is this incident which it commemorates." This account of the event is in all probability the true account, for there is little doubt but Mrs. Cooke saw and approved this sketch of her by one of her intimate friends, Harriet Prescott Spoord. (In the book the sketch of Mrs. Spoord is written by Mrs. Cooke.) When placing the ring on "Pinkey's" finger, Mr. Beecher said: "With this ring I do wed thee to freedom." The money raised on the occa (Continued on page 6) WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1927 Ardella Parks to be Reinstated GEO.

MUTUAL ENLARGES STAFF Under the direction of Charles H. Fearing, who was recently made district manager of the Washington office of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, several new additions to the staff of workers have been made during the past two weeks. The offices of the company have been moved from the second floor of the Lewis Building to the first floor on the U street side. Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of this city, a member of the medical staff of the company, has arranged an exhibit in the company's offices showing the value of health exercises and the necessity of health rules. An exhibit of the company's at the Sesquientenium at Phila- CHAS. H. FEARING dehlphia, last year, arranged by Dr. Brown won a gold medal a- ward. Until Mr. Fearing took charge of the work here, Attorney Zeph Moore, was in charge. W. Anson Long has been added to the local force. The ordinary department is in charge of T. M. Hunt who has been with the company for a number of years. Several Howard University m.n. have been added to the staff, including T. T. Boulwain, Lonnie H. Brown, E. E. Perry, S. H. Sims and T. C. R. Bragg. The older members of the staff include Mrs. A. P. Ross, Mrs. Lottie Ball, Mrs. J. M. Lewis and R. M. Pinckney. In order to carry out the enlarged program of this territory, J F. Harris of Charlotte, N.C. has been transferred here and made special assistant to the manager, Mrs. M. L. Reed, for several years clerk in the local office, is now serving as cashier-clerk. WOODY, CHARGED WITH MURDER, IS FREED BY JURY Charles Woody, alias Charles Hawkins, was acquitted of a charge of first degree murder by a jury in criminal court No. 1, Tuesday. He was charged with the murder of Henry Smith at No. 2613 Virginia avenue, northwest, February 22. Attorney John H. Wilson defended him. Woody is almost a physical wreck. The District jail physician testified that when he was brought to the jail he had ulcers on each leg. His condition has since improved, but he can barely walk and all the while he was on trial he sat rubbing his thighs.

The Potomac River claimed its first victim from schoolboy "hookie- players" of 1927, Wednesday morning, when Nathan Henry Miller, 15, of 1309 W street, northwest, was drowned in the Western branch of the Potomac at the Nathan foot of Thirteenth street. The body was found Thursday night. Nathan, a student at Francis Junior High School, his 12-year-old brother Lawrence, a pupil in the 5-A grade at Wilson, and James White, 17, were togather on a scow in the middle of the Georgetown Canal when the older Miller boy undressed and dived into the water for the purpose of "saving his hat" which had been tossed overboard by the brother. It seems that White, the oldest of the three, who does not attend school, led the two Miller boys off a 10 o'clock Wednesday morning on a supposed fishing trip. The boys went to the foot of Thirteenth street where they fished for awhile on a scow found there. When this diversion had become wearisome, Nathan suggested taking a swim. Unable to induce the other boys to join him, the boy snatched the cap from Lawrence's head and threatened to throw it overboard. The smaller lad followed suit, in turn taking Nathan's hat. Each threw the other's head-piece into the water and the older boy elected to go after them. Undressing, he jumped into the canal and had succeeded in gaining possession of both caps before becoming exhausted. He swam back to within a few feet of where his comrades were awaiting him, but was unable to complete the distance. With a final "I'm giving out," Nathan sank below the surface and never reappeared. Two colored men standing near the other boys made no effort to save the drowning youngster. The boys' mother is in Ohio, having left Washington less than three weeks ago. They are in the custody of their aunt, Mrs. Lillian Wright. COUNTRY CLUB HAS BRILLIANT OPENING The National Capital Country Club had a gala opening last Saturday night. The board of governors entertained members and their guests at a dance. The club was packed, many visitors here for the annual Howard University track and field meeting attending. The board of governors have decided to have these dances each Saturday night. Several fraternities are to entertain at the club on Friday evenings. The first is the Boule that is meeting there this Friday evening. Renovations at the club are about complete, the painting being about finished. The golf course is also nearing completion and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, president, announced Tuesday that tennis courts would be laid out this week. He also stated that croquet wickets and stakes would be set up for those who find golf and tennis too sternuous.

Stevenson, of Duke University, Durham, N. C., and Bruce O. Power, of Southern Methodist University, Dallas, have been adjudged the winners in the Southwide theme contest among college students, conducted by the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, with headquarters here. Checks for the prizes, which were seventy-five dollars, fifty dollars, and twenty-five dollars, have been forwarded to the presidents of the three institutions represented, for presentation to the winners. The winning papers were on the subject of "Justice in Race Relations," and dealt with education, health, housing, sanitation, protection of life and property, and other phases of Negro welfare. Thirty-three colleges in fifteen states were represented in the competition, which is conducted annually as part of the commission's educational program. There were more than fifty contestants, a number of them being colored students. The judges were R. B. Eleazer and Mrs. Maud Henderson, of the Inter-racial Comission, and Dr. Willis J. King, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta. HISTORY OF WASHINGTON ODD JOE CONKLING WILL BEGIN IN 一 --- June e Rein KS PUBLIC'S MARRIED PROBLEM The Board of Education at its meeting in Franklin School Wednesday afternoon decided to secure an expression of public opinion on the question of the employment of married women in the public schools. For this purpose the board decided to hold a public meeting with representatives of citizens' associations, parent-teacher associations and civic organizations in Franklin School at 8 p.m., Monday evening. The president and chairman of the educational committee are invited to attend. An effort will be made to organize and conduct the meeting so as to acquaint the persons attending with the problems involved that they may have an intelligent understanding of the matter. The representatives, who attend the meeting, will be requested to bring the question before their respective associations for consideration, discussion and definite action in favor or against the employment of married women as teachers. This program was recommended by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou, to whom the question was referred by the board on March 2. Superintendent Ballou reported to the board that he is of the opinion that the question should be thoroughly discussed by the public before any final conclusion is reached regarding what should be done, since the question originated with the public and is a social problem affecting home life as well as an administrative and educational problem. COMPETETIVE DRILL TO BE HELD NEXT WEEK The thirty-fifth annual competitive drill between cadet companies of the regiment of colored high school cadets will take place on next Friday at the American League Park. This affair has developed into proportions which make it one of the greatest social events among colored people of this city. The attendance at these exhibitions have grown so as to excel even that of the Howard-Lincoln football game. School spirit reaches its zenith, persons old and young become enthusiastic and the rivalry between the two schools reaches its climax with the approach, each year, of the competitive drill. The battalion competition held on Thursday, May 12, at the Howard University Stadium resulted in a victory for the Second Battalion commanded by Major Clifton Davis of Armstrong High School. Companies C, D and G, all of Armstrong, made up the roster of the victorious battalion. On next Friday the companies will compete for the Teachers' Diamond Medal and for a number of other prizes. There are nine companies involved in the competition, all under the supervision of Captain Arthur C. Newman, military instructor of high school cadets. As has always been the case the names of the judges have been kept from publication by the superintendent of colored schools. The program of company competition follows: 1. Co.

Menard, Dunbar High School teacher, by Harry O. Hine, secretary of the Board of Education, last Thursday. It is alleged that Mr. Menard assaulted Miss Josephine Coleman while she was a student at the Dunbar High School. She graduated in the mid-winter class in February. The school board at its meeting in Franklin School last Wednesday afternoon approved the charges, which were prepared by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou and First Assistant Superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson, and scheduled the trial for 2:30 p.m. June 8. Miss Ardella G. Parks, suspended teacher of the Mott School, will be re-instated July 1. Her case has been patched up and she will not be tried. She has accepted suspension and the board members are of the opinion that continuation of her suspension to July 1 is sufficient punishment. She was suspended March 16 on a charge of having thrown acid in the face of Arthur James. She demanded re-instatement or a trial. The board decided to give her a trial. Instead the case was fixed up behind closed doors, and there has been no action taken in open board meeting or official announcement of the decision of the board concerning the case. The board decided to take no action against Dr. Edwin B.

AN EXTRA SESSION FOR FLOOD RELIEF The fiood continues its work of destruction and misery in the states bordering on the lower Mis- sissippi River and its tributaries, It is estimated that more than ten thousand square miles of territory and two hundred and fifty thou- sand people have been affected by the flood. The loss of property is in excess of $500,000,000. These figures fail to. convey to the mind the full extent of the havoc and ruin wrought by this visitation. It seems that the mind of the President and his advisers does not grasp the full measure of the calamity. The President has determined not to call Con- gress in extra session to provide funds for relief and to deal with the question of flood control. He believes that private resources will be adequate to the situation. ‘That bas not been so in the past; and the ruin wrought by this flood is greater than that of previous floods. An appropriation of na- tional funds is a crying present need. In the past, Congress has made appropriations to meet situations of this kind not only in the United States but im other countries, Five years ago, Congress appro- priated: $20,000,000 for the relief of famine sufferers in Russia, It supplemented this by an addition- al appropriation of $4,000,000 for the relief of earthquake sufferers in Japan, It also appropriated money for the relief of cyclone sufferers in Georgia, and sufferers from fire at Newbern, Nortl Carolina, It has been stated that Congress has appropriated $39, 000,000, from first to last, for re- lief, in the history of the country In the past, private benevolenc has not been equal to the emer- gency, and there appears no goot teason to believe that it will mee the needs of this, the greatest dis. aster of the kind in the history o _the country.

Adams HOWARD GLEE CLUB IN ANNUAL CONCERT _ The Howard Glee Club gave its annual concert in Rankin Memor- ial Chapel, Howard University, ‘Thursday, May 12, at 8 p.m. and since we made comment on their radio program in our last week's issue this review will deal with the personnel of the club largely and the program briefly. The program as rendered fully jpstied the hearty applause given it as a whole. The Howard Glee ‘Club again demonstrated its ver- satality and ability as a thorough- ly trained ensemble of outstand- ing rank in this country. Its best numbers were: “Give a Rouse” (Bantock), “Ave Maria” (Vittor- ia), “Lo, How a Rose E’er Bloom- ing” (Practorius), “Castilla” (Protherce), “Ma Little Banjo” (Dichmont), “Just You” — (Bur- leigh), and “Invictus” (Protheroe). In these numbers there was the finely executed crescendo flowing fluently to a climax and receding gently into a melting pianissimo that awaken thoughts of dream- land bathed in a silver screen of moonlight; bold, dashing fortissi- mos thundering’ across the scene with a unison of finest texture; inner voices playing hide-and- Seek as it were around a haunting melody; humorous ditties that tie- Kled ‘and pleased; and caressing melodies in beautiful but blending tones that dazzled the imagina- tion. Roy W. Tibbs, director, proves himself a capable leader and trainer. In fact he is one of the finest musicians in this country with a mental poise and intellec- tual musical bearing that easily makes him a high ranking figure in the world of musical art. Few may question his authority and none may challenge his art. Harry G. Smith, pianist, is a marvelous technician and perhaps ‘we may claim without contradic- tion, 2 young wizard of the piano. His rendition of “The Beautiful Blue Danube” by Schultz-Evler was one of the most fascinating interpretations we have yet heard b other young player. We dmit that there are still some of the finer points in playing he pos- ibly lacks but development ‘will “come with more maturity and Barrington Guy, baritone, in PArioso—Vesti La Giubba” by ‘Leoneavallo equinped himself ad- “Mmirably and in him there is the “spark of an artist in the making, His rendition was evidence af jeound vocal qualification and the atest tion given showed excel- w in bis art. His upper reg- jas it shows a: growing, distrust of popular and parliamentary insti- tutions. Congress, when it meets, might provide for a situation of this kind by making a contingent appropriation to be placed at the disposition of the President when disasters of this kind afflict the nation, The situations calls for an extra session of Congress. THE GROWTH OF INTOL- FRANCE Things are becoming more mixed every month as regards the eligi- bility of American citizens to hold office. No Negro can be elected to Congress from any one of the 345 Congressional districts in the country, or mayor of any large city, or any city of 25,000 in- habitants; or be appointed or elected judge of any of the super- ‘ior courts, state or national. Re- ‘cent municipal elections seem to indicate that there is a disposition to disregard party lines, and deny Catholics election to mayoralties, ‘or aldermanships. There also ap- pears a disposition to oppose ap- pointment to federal judgeships of persons of “wet” proclivities. In some localities no person of foreign birth is acceptable as an office- holder. And so it goes. If this policy of proscription and exclusion is to go on, it will not require much foresight and un- derstanding of affairs to see the time when there will be no such thing as national unity and solid- ity in the United States. ‘The Negro has not as yet beer able to make any pronounced im- pression on the public mind as to the injustice of intolerance towaré him as an officeholder. As th spirit of intolerance extends te other groups, it may be that ir self-defense all proscribed _ele- ments may find it to their advan. tage to make common cause i tkese unaltruistie circumstances In that event all the disinheritec will certainly out-number the nar row minded and the intolerant, anc America may become, indeed, 1 country where men will be judged by their character and talents, and not by ethnological, religious, or iteanslarit dtandavia: ister evidently was more resonant in timbre while his chest register emissions were not as colorful an¢ round. Despite the fact that his pitch was not always true he made a splendid impression and with continued study may make a name for himself in after years, Lester Dorsey, baritone, in spir- ituals impressed us with his abili- ty in this class of Song.

The well known Iyric of this was one of the many poetic contributions by the la- mented Paul Laurence Dunbar whose fame cavers the globe. “Who Knows” with its pathetic melody and touching lyrical quality soft- ens the burden of a day while sha- dows of dismay hide behind clouds. In it we find that comfort that defies the materialistic powers of time, a faith in the unsearchable God.’ “Who Knows"—play it, sing it again today. In its bosom of gentle flowing harmonies and sub- lime poetic essence you'll discover a burning question of the ages but the answer is found in the stars, the bowels of the earth, the crimson rosebud, the glistening dew-drop, the sunshine and the rain, the musical laughter of the child and the reverent smile pon ‘the face of a dear old mother.

Simplicity is the greatest factor of mankind for making a better world.” Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, pres- ident of the National Association of Colored Women and founder of the Bethune-Cookman College at Day- tona, Fla., nationally prominent, brought greetings from colored women, Taft Not Present Dr. Francis G. Peabody, first vice- president of the board of trustees, Hampton Institute, befor: present- ing the graduating class to the board of trustees read a telegram from Chief Justice William H. Taft, regretting that he could not be present. The special “Hampton Party” of over-one hundred well-known men and women came from New York and ten Northern cities under the direction of Alexander B. Trow- bridge, a Hampton trustee, and President of the National Hampton Association, to attend the anniver- sary exercises. Dr. Peabody presented the trus- tees with the graduating class of 190 candidates for degrees and di- plomas. The candidates for the Hampton degree follow: School of Agriculture, 5; School of Business, 2; School of Education, 7; School of Home Econonmics, 2. The class of 1927 also includes’ the following candidates for diplomas: School of Education, — two-year collegiate course, 15; School of Business, two- year collegiate course, 6; School of Home Economics, two-year collegi- ate course. 13; candidates for di- plomas, Library School, 7.

Dr. James E. Gregg, and Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee In- stitute, addressed the gathering. Announcement of the resignation of Miss Carolina J. Porter, dean of women since 1935, was ‘made. Miss Porter will return to her former work among foreign stud~ ents in New York. “Miss Porter's work at Hampton,” said Dr. Gregg, |*has been characterized by un- sparnig devotion, consientious care- fulnesss. The Institute is fortun- ate in securing as her successor in this peculiarly important office Miss Harriet Sumner Curtis of Boston, for years a diligent and devoted |friend of Hampton, Miss Curtis was educated in private schools and has been active in various or- ganizations in Boston. Her long experience in social work and her perscnal gifts qualify her unusual ly for her service at Hampton.” Miss Dorthea Allen, a graduate of Radcliffe in 1924, now finishing her third year as teacher in the Acade- |my has been appointed assistant |dean of women. .

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON stories were submitted by Maurice Hill (12), 319% Oakdale place, northwest, and Mazie Parker (10), 1238 Linden street, northeast. , The picture represents Booker T. Washington, It is of a monu- ment erected at Tuskegee to his memory. Booker T. Washington was truly a man of character, who was an- xious and ambitious to become suc- cessful. Although he was born a slave, he wanted an education and wanted to help others to become educated. i He had to get most of his early training, however, by _ learning from others and studying from any books that he could get hold of. Booker T. proved himself to. be hoth brave and charitable, early in life. By sticking closely to his ambition through sufferings, he showed his valor and his interest in organizations for poor helpless people. He had a very charitable disposition. I repeat that he was truly a man of character. MAURICE HILL (12) The picture last week was of Booker T. Washington. Everyone knows how he struggled for an education at Hampton, was selected by General Armstrong to take charge of the work at Tuskegee and with determination leaped to the front, making himself the most prominent figure among. colored men, His school is the greatest educational influence in the South at the present time.

Steal away from that Southern stockade of yours and sojourn in of the free." A How the mother's heart yearned for the physical presence of her daughter, again hers after all these dreary years! Mathilde longed to enfold this only child of hers once again in her arms, to fonder against her breast that lovely head—so like her own everybody used to say—with its profusion of lustrous black hair, to kiss again the sun-burned cheeks of this baby of her youth. And, if Tracy needed her— But, how all the hideous past rose again in pitiless detail! It had haunted Mathilde during all these years of loneliness. The silver strands in the mother's hair bore witness to the travail of her spirit. Even now what had been affrighted her. II. It was in this very room in the dainty brick house on Fourth street, just above Florida avenue, where now she nervously crumpled her daughter's scented letter, that Mathilde had sat eleven years ago—and in the selfsame black walnut chair—patiently and tremulously awaiting the return of her husband that fateful night in tearful April. It was all most vivid to her now. The patter, patter, patter—the maddening patter of the rain—she could hear it now again! With what a bitter, and implacable melody did the grandfather's clock, now atick in the hall, strike the hour—three o'clock in the morning! Would he come home beastly drunk again? He knew his faithful wife would, as always, await him downstairs with caresses and no single word of scolding. But, what did he care? Once he strove mightly to win her and then her merest whim was the law; now her power was gone forever, for she was his. Is not every man at heart a philander? Of course, he had other more exigent interests. What a handsome fellow he was—devilishly handsome, with his tall and still athletic figure, his samuraicast of countenance, his rich voice and gentle manner! At last, Mathilde flung herself upon the satin-covered couch disconsolate. She tried to sleep but her brain was too confused to permit sleep. A fearsome barking in the little backyard. Jake, her Belgian dog, attacking somebody. Could it be her husband stumbling in from the alley? Mathilde rushed into the shining white kitchen, threw open wide the door, and in the light that streamed into the yard, saw the big, sinewy dog, leaping upon the fence again and again in a desperate attempt to extirpate a frightened, snarling, green-eyed cat. Peremptorily, she brought the militant Jake into the living room, finding comfort in having him there, all conscience-streken, to reprove. Soon he curled himself up apologetically, but most costly, upon the rich Bokhara at her feet, blinking at his mistress with doleful eyes and snuffing her golden slipper. A few minutes later without any tangible provocation, Jake sprang up bristling and barking, and rushed to the front door. The bell—insistent. Mathilde at the door, her heart beating fast and hard. The curtain drawn aside. Not her husband but a strange man in uniform. Her hand in the dog's collar, she opened the door. "Is this Mrs. Hull?" the Negro policeman asked kindly in his rough voice. "Bad news, Ma'm. A big man later identified positively as John Hull of Prince Hall Lodge and the State Department, was found at 2:20 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." This sordid episode had marked the turning point in the young woman's life. Had she given heed to her father's caustic advice, she would never have married John. It was just before her engagement. She was throbbing with love and faith and hope. In the oak paneled library of the spacious home on S street, near 18th, old Matthew Johnson, acting for himself and his dead wife, had been moved to break his protracted silence on the subject of Mathilde's possible marriage. Under bristling eyebrows—white as snow against his fine dark face—his piercing brown eyes had regarded her steadily and not without understanding as, tense vertical lines "YOUR ENEMY CAN NOT HARM YOU" (But Watch Your Close Friend) of concentration in his spacious forehead, he set aside his black cigar and said in his deep, level tones: “This John Hull, of your fancy, comes of Old Virginia stock; he ought to be sound and straight.” Mr. Johnson took up his cigar again, leaning back in his chair and puffing gently for a moment or two. “John was graduated from a good college, but I’m told,” and the old man looked straight into his daughter’s eyes—“I’m told on excellent authority he studied only just enough to—to stay on the football team.” The old man paused, raising his cigar to his lips again. “Still,” he continued with a shrug of the shoulders. “John played the game as no Lincoln quarterback has played it since.” Mathilde realized that her father meant to be perfectly fair to her "YOUR NOT I (But Wato VOCALION RECORD no.1082 Electrically Recorded Ask your dealer to play these records for you today.

All rights reserved) over but she feared the impending blow. "Doctor Hull wanted him to study medicine," continued her father with accuracy. "Today at twenty-six, John has no professional training whatever." Mr. Johnson paused and puffed slowly to let the significance of the fact sink in Mathilde's consciousness. And then he proceeded—"To be a Negro is disadvantage enough, don't you think, in the cold-blooded competitions of this new era in the affairs of our race and nation? Why add the disadvantage of not having any specific knowledge or skill that the world wants—and will pay for?" This was Tuskegee philosophy, Mathilde thought, and she tried to recall some of the diatribes of Professor Neval H. Thomas whose incomparable courage, utter disinterestedness, and moving eloquence her father, like everybody else, respected vastly, but whose philosophy—pragmatic from one point of view, idealistic from another—she was tempted to subvert to her own immediate person al need of effective rejoinder. But, not one of those lightning-flash phrases which had made "the weak sisters" among the intelligentsia quake in their boots before the pitiless professor while the great wholesome masses applauded to the echo and adored, was for the nonce hers to command. "I picked up my own education as best I could," he continued hoarsely, "enjoying only three years of schooling; but, I did manage to succeed in two things—" there was a flash in his eye, "mastering my mother tongue for the purpose of my own career and mastering a prosaic, but necessary business.

How I wish John were a real man instead of a lounge-lizard!" This was quite unfair, Mathilde felt; and she was about to protest but her father went relentlessly on. "When John's father, the Doctor, died, what did he leave him? An annuity—just enough to keep a fashion-plate animated, but not one more cent. Thanks to the secretary, whose friendship for the Hulls is so staunch, John has a white collar job at the State Department. His salary is less than that of Dimples Stewart, the kindergarten assistant! Dainty dandies, like this John of yours, appeal to you women, young and old. So attentive! So gentle! So fluent! So damnably indifferent to the realities of life!" Mathilde's olive face had become ashen; cold shivers ran through her; she was sneechless. "What solid qualities," continued the relentless old man, "does this young blade possess? Is he willing to work? No! Has he ever really worked? No; his hardest work has been play! Will he ever? No; emphatically, no! I say Mathilde," and the old man rose to his feet and stood glowering over her. "John Hull is not the man for a woman like you to tie to. At nineteen you are too young to marry anyhow; why not go to college? I'll send you to any first class women's college in the country—if you'll go. Let John Hull run off with that Shuffle Along show girl, if he must possess lipstick beauty. . . . It is not vices—though John never refused a stiff drink of brandy in his life—but lack of any definite efficiency that makes him a damned poor catch." 1303 7th St.N.W.

SEEKS DIVORCE ON MISCONDUCT CHARGE Charging that his wife has misconducted herself with different persons on the same days, George R. L. Washington, 2142 Newport place, northwest, filed suit last Friday against Mrs. Amanda V. Washington, 1450 Florida avenue, northwest, for an absolute divorce. He names C. W. Battle, 1618 Florida avenue, northwest, as one of the correspondents. The name and address of the other correspondent are unknown to him, says Mr. Washington. Mrs. Washington was granted a limited divorce some time ago and she and her husband have not been living together. She was awarded $45 a month alimony. They have one child, Marie W. Washington. In his bill of complaint for an absolute divorce, Mr. Washington denies the paternity of this child. Mr. Washington alleges that his wife misconducted herself with C. W.

"WHAT GOOD ARE WE" GIVE DANCE One of the most brilliant affairs of the season was the annual costume dance given by the "What Good Are We" club at the Lincoln Colonnade last riday evening. Society turned out in full, the costumes were gorgeous and daring. The piratical type of costume in bright colors dominated but was by no means the smartest style sported. The place was beautifully decorated and softly lighted. It furnished a wonderful background for the dazzling costumes worn. The dance lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning. After it ended the crowd went to the Cabaret DeLuxe and danced until 5 a.m. music at both places was furnished by the White Brothers orchestra.

The grand legal adviser, Perry W. Howard, Washington, D. C., and the entire legal machinery of the order are also to aid in efforts to vacate the injunction. The resolution giving the grand exalted ruler the power to change the place of meeting if the injunction is not dissolved was signed by four members of the board of trustees, Colonel John R. Marshall, R. E. Pharrow, Atlanta, Ga., Wayman Wilkerson, Memphis, Tenn., and Edward F. Berry. One member did not sign. He is David T. Cardwell, of Gary, Ind. The trustees based their action upon the findings of the committee of lawyers, who found as a conclusion of law that it would be in violation of the laws of New York State for the grand lodge to hold its annual session in New York City. They also found that it would be unsafe to meet in New York state until the Gratton law is repealed and the injunction against the order is dissolved.

Harrison, Chicago, Ill., Charles H. Calloway, Kansas City, Mo, John Starks, Philadelphia, Pa, and Thomas Higgins, New York City. They were appointed by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson by direction of the trustees. They submitted their report to the trustees last Friday. The injunction against the Improved Benevolent nad Protective Order of Elks of the World was obtained by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (white) in May, 1912. It restrained the colored Elks from using a name so closely resembling that of the white Elks as to be calculated to mislead and deceive the public and persons having transactions with either organization. It also prohibited the colored Elks from using the same titles for their officers as those borne by the officers of the white Elks and from using Elk colors, purple and white. On appeal to the Curtt of Appeals of New York 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.

The subordinate lodges of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, however, have been permitted to continue as an organization under its original name without-molestation by the Benevolent and Protective Order of New York State and they are now holding their meetings and transacting their business under their original corporate names. New York City was selected for the next session of the grand lodge at Cleveland, O., last August, after invitations had been received from the mayor and other city officials of the city of New York and the grand lodge of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (white) had given permission for the convention to be held in that city. In the event that the injunction should not be dissolved, Detroit Mich., which sought the convention at the last grand lodge session, also Chicago and Cleveland, want the next session. SCHOOL BOARD TO LIFT SUSPENSION (Continued from page 1) reveal any fraud on his part. The athletic director had received no pay as a teacher or lecturer at any of these schools and he has severed all connections with them, the committee report declared: Mrs. Brewer Resigns The resignation of Mrs. Mary Gibson Brewer from the board of examiners of divisions 10 to 13, effective June 30, was accepted by the board. Mrs. Brewer stated as her reason for resigning that she desired to resume her full duties as a teacher of languages in the Dunbar High School. The board was advised of the gift of two tapestries by Goldenberg's, a vase by Dulin and Martin, and a picture by Hampton Institute to the Francis Junior High School. Rev. F. I. A. Bennett sought to have the board condemn the action of the teacher, who had requested these gifts, but at the suggestion of Henry E. Gilligan it was decided to forget the matter.

JRS. HUNT, "PINKEY" VISITS SHRINE MRS. JRS. HUNT, "PINKEY" VISITS SHRINE (Continued from page 1) sion over the amount needed was used to assist in the education of little Rose Ward—the second name, "Ward," being added by friends in honor of Mr. Beecher. Rose Ward who was then 9 years old, was brought back to this city, where she attended school. Later while teaching school in Annapolis, Md., she met James E. Hunt, who was also a teacher. They were married, and settled down to live in this city, Mr. Hunt having secured a position in the government service here. He is now retired. Mrs. Hunt, who is now 76 years of age, was accompanied to Brooklyn by her daughter, Miss Eta Hunt, who is employed as a clerk in the Patent Office, and who lives with her parents at 411 Florida Avenue, Northwest. Mrs. Hunt says that she gave the ring to her own daughter, Rose Terry (deceased), who lost it while a little child. Few of Mrs. Hunt's neighbors knew of this notable event in her early life, for being naturally of a retiring disposition, she seldom spoke of it. How Dr. Durkee learned of it is not known. It was a thoughtful and fitting thing, however, to bring it to the attention of this generation in the striking way that he did. For, occurring as it did just two months after the execution of John Brown and his companions, it caused a great stir and undoubtedly assisted powerfully in arousing sentiment against slavery, thus assisting in the Lincoln campaign of that year. Mr. Beecher's First "Slave Auction" As stated above, this was not the only occasion on which Mr. Beecher had raised money in dramatic and spectacular fashion in Plymouth Church. The first occurrence of the sort, however, did not take place in Plymouth Church, but was carried out in connection with some other persons including ministers in the Broadway Tabernacle in New York City in 1848. On this occasion Mr. Beecher improvised a slave auction and raised a large sum of money to buy the two Edmondson sisters, who were also residents of this city. The full story of this occurrence may be found in Dr. Carter Woodson's Journal of Negro History, Volume one, in an article fron. the pen of John H. Paynter, of this city, entitled "The Fugitives of the Pearl." Abolitionists Did Not Approve It may be of interest to note that these purchases of slaves through the dramatic means employed by Mr. Beecher—or indeed the putting forth of any special effort to free individual slaves by any means—did not meet the approval of William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and other radical "abolitionists." They criticised Beecher for "wasting his energies in the emancipation of a few individuals while the great slave empire was left undisturbed." of visiting delegates Friday night at 8 o'clock.

W. Scott, won two third places in the C. I. A. A. championship track meet at Hampton last Saturday. The lad is now attending Lincoln University, and is a member of the Lions' track squad. He is also a graduate of Dunbar High School. Scott ran third in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. The first event was run in the fast time of 10.2 seconds. Mack Eggleston, formerly a star receiver of the Washington Potomacs, crashed out three home runs in one afternoon last Sunday. Playing against the Cuban Stars in an Eastern League double bill the Baltimore Black Sox catcher connected once in the first game and twice on successive trips to the pan in the nightcap. Quite something to shoot at! The Oriental Tigers scored 40 runs in 14 innings against the Piedmont A. C. last Sunday in a Union League double-header. The second game was called in the fifth inning after the Southwest team had scored its twenty-sixth run of the game. The scores were 14-1 and 26-2. My, how things can change!! "Eggie" Greenfield was a hero at the close of the first game of the Washington Black Sox double bill last Sunday and the goat at the finish of the finale. His hit and winning run gained him all sorts of favor from the fans, but when Lacy became wild and unable to find the plate in the second tilt everyone placed the blame on the catcher. In the course of an hour the Sox captain was loudly cheered—then just as loudly jeered. Well, the drill's just one week off. Where are all the arm bands, ribbons and pennants we once saw floating around town? Howard has surely got to bring his something better than what we saw last Saturday if we are told we're going to see a track meet. Had it not been for the fact that everybody experienced a pair of pleasant surprises from the showings, Cheney and St. Bonaventure College, both heretofore unknown in the track world, made, the afternoon would have been a dismal failure. While attempting to discover something new in the Lincoln University coaching problem the writer was "wised up" on a few things concerning the activities of a Washington boy at the Pennsylvania Institution. William "Dick" Temple seems to be "jes kickin' up." Dick, a graduate and all round athlete of Armstrong Tech was manager and coach of the Freshman Basketball team which ended second in the intramurals, is manager and coach of the Freshman Baseball team now leading the intra-murals, was elected secretary-treasurer for the 1928 Letter Club, and is a member of the varsity football and baseball teams, all in his Freshman year. With a batting average of .528, Temple also leads the Lion sluggers. Lynn, Armstrong pitcher in the opening game of the Dunbar-Armstrong Championship series, obtained 15 strikeouts. Not so bad. Gus Moore seems to be pulling some of Paavo Nurmi's stuff these days. Last Saturday the star distance lad from New York had Charlie Drew calling out his time each time he passed the quarter mark in his 2 mile jog. Running against the watch instead of against competitors was the flying Finn's time. Doing this, Moore finished 80 yards ahead of his nearest competitor and 38 and two-fifths seconds behind his best time—on a slow track. Teddy Chambers told the writer that he decided to go to Hampton because his team already held a leg on the Virginia Relay Trophy, and that to come to Howard would mean to lose the chance at that prize. Manassas now holds 2 legs on the trophy. Can you blame Teddy? I heard someone, on the Hill last Saturday say, "They ought to have a band up here." Reports from Hampton say there were 2 bands at the Seaside Championships. The very first delivery offered by Lynn, Tech pitcher against Dunbar, Monday, resulted in the score which robbed him of a shutout. The pitch struck Coates, Dunbar lead-off man in the back. The Red and Black lad went the rest of the way on errors. NEV NINE WANTS GAMES C.

THE SPORT REVIEW BLUE AND WHITE WINS OWN MEET A few hundred little enthused spectators saw the Howard University track team collect 91 points against little or no opposition last Saturday afternoon. The occasion was the National Open Track and Field Championships, and the scene was Howard University's new stadium. The most exciting number on the program was an event which was framed on the spur of the moment—the 440-yard relay race, an attraction added at the last minute. The fleet-footed Ottley brothers, Majors and Cecil Cooke formed a quartette which ran against and was nosed out by Joe Dodson, Langston, Thorne, and Carter representing Howard. Dunbar and Cheney with 33 points each tied for first place in the scholastic meet. The scholastic battle was plainly between these two schools. Both teams received first place awards. St. Bonaventure College, of Olean, New York, sent a team down which all but ran away with each event in which it had an entry. This team and the one representing Storer College were the only college teams, beside the hosts, to participate. Cecil Cooke, never pushed, ran an exhibition quarter mile. Gus Moore experienced little trouble with the 1-mile and 2-mile runners. Charles Majors, after a great deal of unnecessary acting jumped 6 feet, 2 inches. His performance would have been enjoyed had he gone on in business-like style, and cut the pretty picture stuff. All in all—that's all.

John Lloyd's Lincoln Gians gained a stronger hold on first place in the Eastern League race by defeating the Brooklyn Royal Gians in a double header at the New York Catholic Protectory Oval yesterday by scores of 7-2 and 6-2. The Lincoln scored enough runs in the opening inning to have won the game, but 3 more tallies in the fifth gave them a total of 7. The visitors were unable to score until the final frame. The second game was a battle until the last stanza when the home town nine put 4 runs across the platter. Montalvo appeared in the Lloyd line-up.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1927 WASHINGTON BLACK SOX TRIM N.E. MOTORS TWICE Willie Briscoe was the outstanding star of the dual win of the Washington Black Sox over the white Northeast Motors Company team last Sunday afternoon at Union League Park. When Bland faltered in the eighth inning of the opener, Briscoe was called in the fray. The new hurler responded nobly and halted the alien rally after 1 run had crossed the pan. When his teammates came through with 2 counters in their half, the score was tied. In the ninth Briscoe held the Motors Company batters at bay, and the Sox put the winning tally across in their half. With the colored boys trailing 2-0 up to the eighth inning, and Calkins going 'great guns' Black Sox rooters were experiencing difficulty getting a kick out of the duel. But in their half of the same frame, Sheffield's team came to life. Fauntroy singled to left and scored on Barron's crash to right center which was good for 3 bases. Grant connected and shot a hot one between short and third. Barron crossed with the tying marker. In the ninth with one down, Greenfield batted for Brown and singled. A hit-and-run play in which Gillespie figured at the plate went off perfectly and Greenfield was midway between second and third before the alien left fielder got his hands on the ball, and when that worthy momentarily juggled the sphere, Greenfield kept on home. Things were going nicely for the Sox until the fifth inning of the nightcap. The white team had been held hitless and scoreless until a sudden siege of wildness by Lacy and a pair of errors allowed 2 scores to be chalked up. Continuing the "blowing up" act in the next inning Lacy allowed a third tally to cross the pan, then when this same wildness threatened the loss of the game Briscoe was called on. Again the relief man responded and this time he saved a teammate from losing his own game.

UNION LEAGUE DOUBLE 0 Union League teams had a good Sunday, May 15—or a bad one—it all depends on how they choose to look at it. For instance the LeDroit Tigers spent a pleasant afternoon taking both their engagements from the Alexandria Lafayettes, hence, on the other hand the Virginia lads saw a pretty miserable Sabbath. In the first game of their double attraction, the City Champions blanked their opponents 7-0, and finished by annexing a 15-1 verdict in the latter tilt. It took the Washington Giants 11 innings to gain a 7-6 decision in their matinee frolic against the Myrtles. Green's homer in the nightcap decided a 6-5 battle in favor of the Northeast nine. Down on the southwest lot, Freddie Wood's new Piedmont machine was virtually smothered under a pair of overwhelming Oriental Tiger victories.

DUNBAR NO MATCH FOR ARMSTRONG IN FIRST DUNBAR NO MATCH FOR ARMSTRONG IN FIRST ARMSTRON—DUNBAR— The first game of the Scholastic Baseball championship between the two high schools, held Monday, May 16, was won 16-1 by the Armstrong Tech nine. Despite the wildness of Lynn, Orange and Blue hurler, the Dunbar team was unable to insert timely base hits, hence their only score resulted from a hit batsman and a pair of errors. Had Pettie, who relieved Coates for Dunbar in the fourth inning, started the game, there is not the slightest doubt that the game would have been closer. The little Red and Black lad was called into the box from the shortstop position in the middle of the fourth frame and finished the contest in masterful style. A fast double play Johnson to Andrews to Bogan stopped a Dunbar rally in the fifth.

Henderson was especially tight in the pinches and left seven Hilldale runners stranded on the base paths and the reverse marked Hilldale's fifth straight defeat in league contests. Opposed to Henderson, Red Ryan of the home team was unsteady in the opening innings of play and the Giants amassed enough runs to clinch the argument. Eggie Dallard, the converted first sacker of the Bee's, pried open the game by bocking one of Ryan's benders over the right field fence for the circuit. Frank Warfield was in a hitting mood and nicked Henderson's delivery for three of the home team's hits, two of them were doubles. Clint Thomas returned to the Hilldale line-up for the first time since being injured in New York but was forced to withdraw after three innings of play. In Saturday's contest with Nip Winters serving them up it was a different story. Hilldale's star southpaw silenced the visitors' bats a 4 to 2 triumph by pounding out a home run in the sixth inning. Dick Lundy selected Red Grier to do the pitching chores for the visitors, but after the former A. & T. schoolboy pitched to two men, he was yanked in favor of Roy Roberts. Three safe blows, all of the one base variety were all that the Bee's could do against Winters' hurling and but for his balk that staked the Bee's to a run in the first inning and Stevens' miscue in the second that aided the second visitors' run, the Atlantic City team would have drawn blanks. The Hildale players ran wild on the base paths and pilfered seven sacks, working three successful double steals, one that resulted in a score when Warfield and Briggs executed a delayed steal, Warfield scoring.

HILLDALES DOWN DOHERTY SILK SOX CLIFTON, N. J., May 15—An off day in the Eastern League schedule allowed Ed Bolden's Hilldale Club to win from the Doherty Silk Sox, 10-4, here today.

DUNBAR POSTPONEMENT Contrary to the statement which appeared on this page last week, the Dunbar-Armstrong game scheduled for May 11 was postponed because of a rule technicality. The rules of the High School Games Committee state that "Eligibility lists shall be handed into the committee at least four days prior to the playing of a championship contest." Since advisory marks were handed in May 9, living up to the rules became impossible, and for that reason, rather than scholastic difficulties, the game was postponed.

RICHMOND, Va. — Alexandra Pompez's Cuban Stars got going at the expense of the Hildale Club when the Islanders proceeded to treat the Daisies rough in the first series of league games staged on Dixie territory. The Stars by superior stick work bagged all three of the contests that were hotly fought. Martin Dihigo the versatile player of Pompez's squad, established a record by slamming out three home runs and a single out of four trips to the plate in the first contest that the Cubans won 12 to 7. Two of Dihigo's homers came with the bases loaded, making him responsible for nine (' the Stars' runs. The other two games went to the Cubans by 8 to 5 and 6 to 5 scores. Promoter Babe Morris tendered an elaborate program preceding the opening game. A monster parade headed by the Elks' Band, with fraternal and social organizations in line paraded the town. Robert Scott, one of Richmond's leading citizens tossed out the first ball and the band rendered a concert between the innings.

YOKELY BEATS CUBANS PAIR YOKELY BEATS CUBANS PAIR BALTIMORE, Md., May 15.—This evening after the local Black Sox have won two games from the Cuban Stars we discover that the names of a pair of Ben Taylor's players should be placed in the Hall of Fame. Layman Yokely gets credit for two victories in one afternoon, the second a nohit, no-run engagement, and the name of Mack Egglestor is jotted down as having obtained 3 home runs in the same day. The Livingstone College boy was called on in the fifth inning of the matinee game after Strong, the first Black Sox hurler, had wilted under an avalanche of Cuban base hits which netted them 6 runs and a resulting tie score. Yokely pitched the rest of the afternoon. Eggleston connected for the circuit once in the opening game, and twice on successive turns at bat in the nightcap. Another of those thrilling ninth-ning rallies pulled the first fray out of the fire for Manager Ben. With the Cubans leading 8-7 the Sox came to bat for their last turn. Johnson walked but was forced by Holloway. Holloway stole second, and scored the tying run on Jackson's triple to the fence. Wilson and Taylor were purposely passed filling the bases. Washington showed indignation at such an abuse of his ability by doubling to left—that was all to it. The second contest was all Yokeky lly and Eggleston, versus the Cubans. The pitcher twirled a perfect game while the catcher was busy hanging out homers.

This is a powerful, gripping murder-mystery melodrama. It is based on the story of Dolores Coste the same name written by Charles Klein, and as a stage success played every city in the United States with enormous success. Dolores Costello plays the role of a trapezist, the daughter of a dare-devil knife thrower. She marries a millionaire's son. This marriage meets with the disapproval of the rich father, causing the NITES, 5 P.M.

Her mother who has married the millionaire fears to acknowledge the girl whom she had deserted in her infancy. These are but the starting events in this gripping melodrama of the screen. It leaves the mother to choose between wealth and social power or her own child. This is a picture you cannot afford to miss. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, May 25, 26 and 27, will Grotz be seen "An affair of the Follies" with Lewis Stone, Billie Dove and Lloyd Hughes. Suppose you met a chorus girl and fell in love with her and she loved you and you got married but you were not making enough to support her, so she went back to the lure of the footlights, "just to help the family income," would you trust her? This very MATINEE D Linco U Street at 12th I vital question is properly answered in the above production. For one day only, Saturday, May 28 will be seen George Jessell, the great stage comedian in his never-to-be-forgotten role of "Private Ilya Murphy," supported by Patsy Ruth Miller, Vera Gordon and Nat Carr. It is more than a great laugh show—much more. You will laugh until you cry and you will cry until you laugh. There is plenty of romance, drama, love and war. Every emotion is in this picture.

Few pictures have carried so powerfully a message to humanity. An epic of mother love, true to life and seething with sensational situations, it is the dramatic treat of the season. "The Fourth Commandment" is a story that might happen to you. Its great power lies in its personal application. It asks the eternal question, "Which should a man choose—his mother or his wife?" A great cast of players give the characters of this story a remarkably sincere and praiseworthy portrayal. Belle Bennett eclipses her former accomplishments in "Stella Dallas." Mary Aenew, June Marlow and Kathleen Myers also are in the east. Extra added attraction, Chapter 3 of "The DAILY—15c TO ALL Except S oln The Direction, A. E. Lichtman C. H. Deans, Mgr.

May 14.—In a downpour of rain that failed to dampen the spirits of the contestants and spectators, Hampton's Blue and White trackmen and Bordentown's sprinters from New Jersey won on points in the sixth annual C. I. A. A. Championship Track Meet. All of the thirty-four events were hotly contested, although at times the rain was blinding to the runners. The time, distance, and height for a number of the events were slow to a great extent due to the downpour. Union University of Richmond was second to Hampton's 79 points with 29, for the collegiate division, and Manassas High School of Manassas, Virginia, was second to Borentown's 34 1.2 points with 21 1-2. Hampton Wins Walker Trophy Three teams took their marks (Hampton, Lincoln and St. Paul) for the major event of the meet, the mile collegiate relay. Stratton of Lincoln, snatched the lead from Snowden of Hampton and gained about twenty yards. Derery, of Lincoln, running second, lost about five yards to Clark of Hampton, while Fletcher of Lincoln, conceded the balance of the fifteen yards distance to Gray of Hampton. Baldwin of Hampton, and Strickland of Lincoln, ran an even race for about 220 yards and then Baldwin pulled out to bring the "Madam C. J. Walker Collegiate Mile Relay Cup" as permanent property of the Hampton track team after three consecutive years of winning. The thrill came in the third lap when George Gray picked up the 15-yard lead that Lincoln had, and when Baldwin beat Lincoln's star anchor man to the tape by about your yards. Breadau of Union, Wins First Breadau of Union, took the century, the 220 and the broad jump. Baker of Hampton, also brought in three first places, which makes a tie between two men for high point man of the meet. Bob Coles of Hampton, running for his last time in a C. I. A. A. a meet, clipped 10 2-5 seconds of his two-mile record of 10 26 4-10. His lead over the pack was fully three-fourths of a lap, and when he came in he was just about as cool, apparently, as when he started. Cole's old record was set in 1924. Frank Young Present The Robert S. Abbott Quarter-Mile Loving Cup was taken by Joe Baldwin of Hampton, in one of the two spectacular races of the day. Baldwin was boxed in on the start and had a fight for the lead taken by Strickland of BLOW FOR YOUR FAVORITE AT THE DRILL Lincoln, but he remembered his experience gained last year when boxed in on the turn. His time was good for a wet, muddy, track and a downpour of driving rain. The Frank Young National High School One-Mile Relay Cup was won by Manassas High School, Manassas, Virginia in 3 41 3-10. Bordentown was second and Harrison High of Roanoke, third. The competition was not as tight as it was years back. Frank A. Young, donor of the beautiful loving cup, was present at the meet. Manassas Takes Cup The Virginia High School Quarter-Mile Reiay Cup was also taken by Manassas. Two records fell before the foot of the track men. The first record fell by an inch and one-half in the shot put. The second record fell to Coles in the two-mile run when he clipped 12-5 seconds off his old record. On a whole the meet came up to all expectations and was successful in every way. The rain in many instances interfered, but the spectators donned their raincoats and put up their umbrellas and stayed to the finished.

Jimmie is good, too, as was evidenced by the way he was received at the premier performance Monday. The audience be applauding him before he could open his mouth. His team-work with Bill Mitchell, who is producing the show, is commendable too. But, say, you should see the work of the Berry Brothers. I'll say they're good. Their imitation of Williams and Walker is all that one can ask of two boys so young. And now to get to the ladies in the show. What do you think of the leading lady's nick-name, "The Bronze Venus?" Mighty appropriate, heh? And pretty, oh, boy! When she takes off the stage makeup; she gains in beauty. But beauty is not all her claim to praise. She is a very good actress, too, and her part in the show is very well received. Then there's Cora LaRedd, the tap dancer. She really knows what to do with her feet. It would be a hard job to get a man to dance better than she in her specialty. And the toe dancer, Miss Ethel Williams—she's good too. And the chorus girls are just too tight!

The Lincoln Theatre was robbed of a very good bill this week, when they received a telegram from the team of Brown and Marguerite saying because of the illness of Brown's mother, the two would be unable to fulfill the engagement at the theatre. However, the young ukelele player and singer, who was referred to as the "sheik" in this column last week, competently entertained the audience last Sunday between acts at the Howard. "THE DESERT'S TOLL" AT THE BROADWAY The Sunday and Monday bill at the Broadway Theatre will present one of the most thrilling high class Western features ever screened in "The Desert's Toll" with Francis McDonald and Kathleen Key. There is plenty of action without a dull moment. It's a love story worth while. After the flight on the cliff you will find yourself standing in your seats to cheer Francis McDonald. On Tuesday, for one day only, Eleanor Boardman, Conrad Nagel and William Haines appear in a most wonderful and beautiful picture, "Memory Lane." On Wednesday and Thursday, the real screen comedians, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton in "We're in the Navy Now" will be shown. The week will close on Friday and Saturday with thrills and action galore with a real underworld crook story with Louise Fazenda and John T. Murray in "Finger Prints." White Brothers' Famous Band will furnish the melodies as usual. "ORCHIDS AND ERMINE" TO BE SHOWN LATER AT THE LINCOLN The Lincoln Theatre management wishes to express their regret in not being able to obtain Colleen Moore in "Orchids and Erine" as promised for next week and in its place "The Third Degree" has been substituted: On Tuesday, May 24, the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority of Howard University was to have their benefit performance. Persons purchased Alpha tickets with the expectation of seeing Colleen Moore will be allowed the privilege of using the tickets at any performance whether afternoon or evening from Tuesday, May 24 up to and including June 17 when Colleen Moore's picture will be shown.

THE NEW YORK TIMES JIMMIE JOHNSON, Washington boy, who has the role of leading man with the "Southland Revue" playing at the Howard Theatre this week. "The Southland Revue." Freddie Johnson, the smaller of the two, is the guy who wrote "Lucky Sambo," a play which has been raising a riot everywhere it has been played. They are starting their own show season, calling it "Bronze Buddies." It will open about the latter part of August. Tim Moore's wife, Gertie Moore, is also with this show, playing the part of the mother. Well, again this week, the column must be bare of the names of Washington girls, 'cause there's none to be found. Jimmie Johnson is the only person with the show who calls Washington home. But, he makes up for a lot, so that's that. The Republic had a good bill Saturday for their talent show. They featured two double acts and one single act. The last act was about the best of the three. Some 7th and T Sts. Northwest Phone, North 5224 1930 Mrs. MARY ALICE PARKER Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star.
