Dr. Warfield Denies He Has Resigned Married Teacher Problem Debated at Board Meeting FIRST in Advertising and Circulation BOARD REFEREES IN SKIRMISH OVER FUTURE STATUS By Louis R. Lautier The protagonists of continued employment of married women as teachers in the public schools of the District of Columbia won the opening round of the verbal battle royal staged by the Board of Education in Franklin school last Monday night. The wordy fight, however, was not one-sided. Those who are opposed to the employment of married women as teachers got in some stiff blows before the round was ended when someone asked for the gong to be rung as J. C. Vaughn Todd attempted to begin a lengthy attack on married women teachers. Those who favor the continued employment of married women as teachers forced the fight to resolve around the question of what is best for the education of the child. They took the position that the employment of teachers should be a question of efficiency and not of whether one is married or unmarried. They combatted any proposition that tended to discriminate against married women. One speaker declared that he could see no reason why teachers should be compelled to take an oath of celibacy. It was especially emphasized that the placing of any restrictions upon married women would be putting a penalty upon marriage. The attack upon married women teachers was focused upon the strenuousness of women bearing children, caring for the home and teaching school, and the demoralizing effects of a wife earning her living upon her husband. Board is Referee The school board acted in the capacity of a referee. At the beginning it gave its instructions, but no heed was paid to them. It was explained that it was not the purpose that this first meeting should be a debate. The object of the meeting was to place the question before the representatives of civic organizations and parent-teacher associations for the consideration of their organizations and an expression of opinion on the subject. Nine questions were submitted for consideration. They are: 1. Should married women be admitted to the normal schools as students. If not, what are the reasons against their admission? 2. If a girl student enrolled in the normal school marries during her course, should she be permitted to complete her course and graduate from the school? If not, what are the reasons against it? 3. If a graduate of the normal school marries following graduation, but preceding her appointment to a position in the public schools, should her marriage make her ineligible for such appointment? What are the reasons against such appointment? 4. Should a married woman be declared ineligible to enter the open competitive examinations conducted for qualifying teachers for appointment in the elementary schools, junior high schools, senior high schools, normal schools and all their public schools of Washington? If so, what are the reasons? 5. If a woman teacher marries subsequent to her appointment, should she be required to resign from service? If so, what are the reasons? 6. If a woman teacher who has resigned from public school service has married and requests reinstation, should the Board of Education refuse to reinstate her on the grounds of her marriage? If so, why? 7. If a woman teacher on leave of absence should marry while on leave, should the Board of Education refuse to reinstate her? If so, why? 8. Should a married woman on maternity leave be reinstated as provided for under the present rules of the Board of Education? If not, for what reasons? 9. If regulations are adopted by the Board of Education hereafter disqualifying married women for appointment in the public schools of Washington, should married women be allowed to continue in service, or be required to resign?

PUBLISHED WEEKLY Warfie ed Teach ALEXANDRIA YOUTH IS FREED OF RAPE CHARGE Lester Brown of Alexandria, Virginia, was placed on trial for his life in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County last Thursday morning, with Judge Samuel G. Brent presiding. Brown was charged with rape on Edith Proctor, a 12-year old girl. The jury after deliberating forty-five minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty. The defendant was represented by Attorney A. H. Collins of Alexandria. The jury's verdict won for Lawyer Collins great praise both from the white and colored citizens who were present and witnessed the hard fight made for Brown. WIFE DENIES CHARGES OF MISCONDUCT Denying the charges of infidelity brought by her husband, George R. L. Washington, 2142 Newport place, northwest, in her answer filed last Friday through Attorney's Hawken and Havel, Mrs. Amanda V. Washington, 1450 Florida avenue, northwest, declares that his actions are prompted by a malicious desire to injure her inthemcement TH fJSHR Tjure her in the community and her place of employment. Mr. Washington is suing his wife for an absolute divorce. He denies the paternity of her child, Marie W. Washington, and accuses her of having committed adultery with C. W. Battle on January 12, 14, 22 and 27 and February 8, 9, and 10, and later on the same days with another correspondent whose name and address are unknown to him. Mrs. Washington admits that she was acquainted with C. W. Battle. She says he was the landlord of the apartment in which she and her two sisters live. He is now dead, she states. She does not know to whom her husband refers, Mrs. Washington declares, as "another man whose name and address are unknown to the plaintiff." She denies that she was in the company of these men almost daily. Battle: Former Slave Battle, Former Slave C. W. Battle was an old, decrepit man, who before the civil war was a slave belonging to people in North Carolina and at the time of his death this year he was about 80 years old, Mrs. Washington states in her answer. When her husband deserted her in 1924, she was compelled to seek employment in order to care for their child, Mrs. Washington states, and to institute a suit for a limited divorce. Her husband filed a cross-bill charging her with adultery. When the case was heard, his cross-bill was dismissed and she was granted a limited divorce and $45 a month alimony. He later filed an amended cross-bill renewing his charge of adultery, but it was dismissed for want of prosecution April 13. When these cross-bills came on for hearing, Mrs. Washington says, he failed to appear to prosecute his charges. The couple were married by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, January 4, 1911. DEAN SLOWE SPEAKS AT BENNETT Dean Lucy Slowe, of Howard University, spoke on behalf of the Negro College Women of America, at the inauguration of David D. Jones, the recently appointed president of Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N. C. The new president was introduced into office by Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, D.D., L.L.D., president of the Board of Trustees of the college. The new president delivered an inaugural address. Representatives from twenty-two different colleges and universities throughout the country were present at the ceremonies. MRS. HOWARD, WELL KNOWN CITIZEN, DIES Mrs. Alverda Stewart Howard, wife of the late Reverend William J Howard and one of the city's most well known citizens, died at her residence 100 Massachusetts avenue, northwest, early yesterday morning after a very brief illness. Born November 19, 1854 at Barboursville, Orange County, Virginia. Mrs. Howard was educated in Richmond. For the three years prior to her marriage October 19, 1876 she taught in the public schools of the Virginia capital. Immediately following her marriage richmond to Reverend William J. Howard, whose death, December 30, 1925, ended 39 years of excellent service as pastor of Zion Baptist Church, she came to this city and had been a much loved church, benevolent and fraternal worker up to the time of her death. An Active Week Mrs. Howard was a Deaconess of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church where she had been recognized, since her arrival in Washington, as a devout church worker. Even her death Thursday followed an active week in the interest of her church, and family. On Sunday, she was present at the Nineteenth Street Church serving on a committee which arranged for the Women's Night Program held at that church Sunday night. Monday, Mrs. Howard attended the Zion Baptist Church May Festival in which a grandson participated and Tuesday she was present at a musical recital by her daughter, Mrs. Louise H. Pack, at Howard University. Wednesday morning Mrs. Howard, feeling indisposed, would not get up, and Thursday morning about 6:10 a.m. she died. Previous to her coming to Washington she had been a member of the First Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia, where the late Reverend James Holmes, father-in-law of Reverend Walter H. Brooks, was pastor. She was Past Officer in the Queen of Sheba, Household of Ruth Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, a Missionary and an active member of the Mite Society. The Survivors She is survived by one son, Dr. William J. Howard, Jr., seven daughters, Miss Annie Bestrice Howard, Mrs. Bertha H. Collins, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Lewis, Mrs. Louise H. Pack, Mrs. Juanna P. Howard, Mrs. Irma H. Allen, of New York City and Miss Ruth Winifred Howard of Cleveland, Ohio. Three grandchildren, William Howard Collins, Stephen Johnson Lewis, and Carolyn Alverda Howard also mourn their loss. Funeral services to be held Sunday will be from Nineteenth Street Baptist Church at one o'clock. Interment will take place at Harmony Cemetery. ALUMNI SEEK REINSTATEMENT OF PROFESSORS ALUMNI SEEK REINSTATEMENT OF PROFESSORS An effort is now being made to have the four professors who were dismissed from Howard University on June 17, 1925, reinstated. The matter is being pushed by the General Alumni Association of the university. The trustees have appointed a committee composed of Prof. John R. Hawkins, Dr. Summer Wormley and Dr. Sarah Brown, to review the matter. The association has appointed a committee to present their side. The four professors concerned are Alonzo H. Brown, A.B., A.M., formerly professor of mathematics; Alaine LeRoy Locke, A.B., Litt.B., Ph.D., formerly professor of philosophy; Metz Tullus Lochard, B. es L., B. es D., formerly assistant professor of French; and Orlando C.

Has ed at B CORONER'S JURY HOLDS MAN IN FATAL SHOOTING A coroner's jury Monday ordered Ernest Scott, 47, 221 Third street, southwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death Sunday of Clarence Briggs, 27, 221² Third street, southwest. The two men engaged in a pistol battle about 9:50 o'clock Sunday morning. Briggs was shot through the hip with a 38 caliber Spanish make of revolver. He died en route to the Emergency Hospital. "Scotty" received a slight flesh wound of the right arm above the elbow. The killing of Briggs was the climax to a feud of several months' standing between the occupants of the upstairs and the downstairs flats. "Scotty" and his housekeeper, Martha Diggs, lived upstairs. Briggs and his "lady friend," Minnie Henson, lived downstairs. Saturday night Detective Howard Ogle and three other officers from the fourth precinct station house visited "Scotty's" where a party was going on. The officers said they had come on complaint of the occupants downstairs. After the officers had gone Briggs and Mimie Henson accused "Scotty" and Martha Diggs of talking to the police about them. A bitter quarrel followed. Sunday morning "Scotty" sent William Pannell for a gun for protection. He also sent his housekeeper to the fourth precinct to ask that police be sent to the Third street address. While she was at the station house, Scotty testified, he started out of his back door and spied Briggs approaching with a gun. He rushed back into his kitchen and grabbed his revolver. Briggs fired and he returned the shot. Eight shots were exchanged, Briggs being mortally wounded. Edward Brooks, 223 Third street, southwest, told the coroner's jury that two hours before the gun battle occurred, he heard Minnie Henson say that she was waiting for Martha Diggs to come downstairs so that she could heat her up and if "Scotty" interfered she was going to make Clarence "knock him off." The occupants of the upstairs and downstairs flats had been quarrelling for several months, Headquarters Detective George E. Darnell testified at the injuest.

BANK HEAD FLAYS BURNING OF MAN ALIVE In a letter to the Tribune this week, Wade H. Cooper, president of the United States Savings Bank, Fourteenth and U streets, northwest, protests against the burning to death of James Monroe, and other outrages perpetated on Negroes by individuals and mobs. Mr. Cooper declared that "this may be the land of the free, but certainly cannot properly be called the home of the brave, as long as any part of the country permits such conduct by any band of contemptible cowards." Mr. Cooper wrote as follows: "I want to add my most emphatic condemnation of the fiends incarnate who would burn, or attempt to burn, human beings alive. I refer to the attempted burning of James Monroe, on the Bladensburg Road, and the recent burning of a colored man in Arkansas. Severe Punishment "People who condescend to such barbarous acts can only be regarded as barbarians in human form or a band of contemptible cowards. Brave and courageous men do not act in any such manner. There is no punishment too severe for men of such tpye. Such conduct is a disgrace to the state which permits it. "I think I should tell you that I personally called on Gov. McLeod of South Carolina, in his office in the city of Columbia, and urged him to do his duty and bring deserved punishment to the contemptible cowards who lynched the Lowman people, in South Carolina last winter. "This may be the land of the free, but certainly cannot properly be called the home of the brave, as long as any part of the country permits such conducts by any band of contemptible cowards. "The best people of the South and of the entire country deplore these lawless acts by these lawless men." TO DISCUSS NEGRO BUSINESS The Negro's duty to Negro business as a theme of public discussion before the June meeting of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. is eliciting keen interest. In addition to the presence of Dr. Carter G. Woodson to open the discussion, invitations have been extended to a number of leading business men and women whose presence and participation should make the meeting profitable. Among those invited are John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank, and S. W. Rutherford, secretary of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS gned eeting RUMOR IS RIFE FREEDMEN'S TO GET NEW HEAD The rumor became rife here last Friday that Dr. Wm. A. Warfield, who for over twenty years has been head of Freedman's Hospital, was to resign on July first. However, when interviewed by a Tribune reporter, Dr. Warfield denied the rumor. Likewise, Edward C. Finney, assistant secretary of the Interior Department, who is handling complaints against the present administration of the hospital, denied that Dr. Warfield had tendered his resignation. Despite these denials however, the rumor has persisted. It is known that much dissatisfaction has been registered with the Interior Department over the administration of Dr. Warfield. A near strike was narrowly averted this winter when dissatisfaction arose among the nurses at the hospital. At this time the Department of Interior ordered an investigation. Many other incidents of mistreatment and other complaints have been made from time to time. The rumor of Dr. Warfield's resignation came shortly after the report of the investigators had been filed. The unconfirmed report was to the effect that Dr. Warfield would resign his position as surgeon-in-chief and devote all of his time to the position he holds with the National Benefit Insurance Company as chief medical examiner. DUNBAR TEACHER SUED; ALLEGED BROKEN COMPACT Through Attorneys Houston and Houston, Mrs. Keziah Reed filed suit last Saturday against Miss Georgiana R. Simpson, a teacher in the Dunbar High school, for specific performance of an alleged agreement whereby Mrs. Reed conveyed to Miss Simpson her property in consideration of a promise that if she ever became in destitute circumstances Miss Simpson would take care of her and at her death give her a Christian burial. Mrs. Reed is the maternal aunt of Miss Simpson. In her bill of complaint Mrs. Reed sets out that she is over 70 years of age, uneducated and an invalid. Miss Simpson is a graduate of the Miner Normal school. She has studied at Clark University, Worcester, Mass, and at Harvard University. She has also studied in Europe, having attended the Young Women's Seminary at Rostock, Germany, and the Alliance Française at the Guilde Internationale in Paris and Tours, France. Her degrees include a bachelor of arts, a master of arts and a doctor of philosophy from the University of Chicago. Makes Proposition In her bill of complaint Mrs. Reed says that in January, 1923, she was confined in the hospital, unable to work and with very little money. Miss Simpson came to her, she states, representing herself to be actuated solely by reason of her natural love and affection for her, and proposed, solicited and entreated her to convey to her the remainder in fee of her property at No. 1614 Eleventh street, northwest, dependent upon a life estate to be reserved to her.

In further illus- tration of our contention, we of- fer the following news item which appeared in the daily papers last Tuesday: «, Little Rock, Ark., May 16 (By ‘A. P.).—Recent attacks on white women which caused a mob to lynch a Negro here were followed today by an attack on a white ‘woman in her kitchen in a suburb. A large force of officers set out to seek a Negro believed to. be re- sponsible. The victim was taken to a hospital in a highly nervous condition. It will be recalled that Little Rock during the past few weeks has exhibited on two occasions its barbarous and semi-savage in- stincts. Now that it is sobering after a bloody debauch and law- less foray, it is seeking to rein- state itself in the good graces of that remnant of the people of the United States: who believe that there can be no justification for lynching for any crime, where a stable government is functioning, unless it be the crime of a Negro who “attacks” a white woman. It is fair to say white public opinion is not as much horrified at the crime of rape as rape, as it is at the “attack” of a Negro on a white woman. If a Negro or a white man “attacks” a Negro woman, it arrests no attention and calls for no comment. The same is true if a white man “attacks” a white woman. Indignation and vengeance reach the boiling point only where a Negro “attacks” a white wom- an. Knowing this state of the pub- lic mind, the Associated Press broadcasts a news article that in a single sentence apologizes for lynching for a single offense com- mitted, or alleged to have been committed against one species of woman, and not against woman- kind, and, by mentioning the race of the supposed, or may be even fictitious offender, brands a whole race as peculiarly addicted to this offense. The time has come when decent, self-respecting Negroes cannot fail to denounce this spe- cies of news propaganda. LINDBERGH AND HUMANITY ‘The trans-Atlantic non-stop air- plane flight of Captain Lindbergh from New York to Paris has ex- cited the ‘admiration of the civil- ized world. It is particularly a source of pride on the part of the people of the United States. ‘There are two things about this event which call for special com- ment. One is the heroism, cour- age and grit of the flyer, and the other is the construction and en- during quality of the machine in which the successful flight was made. As to the moral and physical courage and heroism of the flyer, the whole human race may justly take pride in, and gather inspira- tion from that. After all, the fundamental fact about Lind- hergh is that he is a member of the human family, a specimen of the human species, td use a strict- ly scientific expression, he belongs to the “genus homo.” Therefore, in the final analysis, his achieve- ment is an illustration of what the members, in general, of the hu- man race, with like faculties and organs and opportunities, may achieve. The success of Lindbergh is in no sense a strictly individual triumph. Many forces contrib- uted to it, which may, in a large way, be classified as social, econo- mie, industrial, commercial, in- tellectual and moral. Then there is the machine. Machinery is peculiarly a phenom- ‘enon of western civilaztion. The east has not, as yet, shown any particular aptitude in the inven- tion amd manufacture of machin- ery, nor interest in the study and application of the physical sciences. This, doubtless, is the next immediate step to be taken by the more than thousand mil- lion people who live in Asia and Africa. Let us all as human beings, as “Americans, as equal citizens of the THE RIP SAW ee ce ee) eee | ‘The flop of the drive to raise money to build in Washington a memorial to those who were killed in the World War is not surpris- ing. The “democracy” these dead heroes fell for was just as absent in the drive for the money for the memorial as it was in the recon- struction period after the armis- tice. Although the Negro soldiers fur- nished most of the glory the city received from the battle fields dur- ing the war, those sponsoring this memorial did not see fit to name any, Negroes even as. workers in the campaign. When the matter was brought to the attention of the chairman of the committees by some of the soldiers, they were told that “if they wanted to,” they could organize themselves into a team and solicit whatever they could. This meant that they would not be permitted to attend the team meetings and the various luncheons for the workers. Another bit of narrowness on the part of those sponsoring the mem- orial is the effort to permit the Washington Evening Star to hog the whole affair. Mr. Newbold of the Star happens to be the chair- man, so the other papers were left out. The Negro press of the city was given no consideration at all. No wonder the whole thing has ‘flopped and the sponsors have been forced to resort to Dollar Bargain Donations in order to try to go through with the scheme. If erected, how can this mem- orial ever symbolize the spirit of the city’s noble dead? How can the spirits of those dead Negro soldiers ever dwell beneath the canopy of the proposed marble ‘band stand? Was the blood of these Negroes shed for the freedom of their race? Are the surviving buddies of those dead being given the freedom they are entitled to? No, is the an- swer from every quarter. Just as the Negro soldiers and citizens are being ignored in this memorial, so have they been ignored in their fight for those rights supposed to have been guaranteed them under the Constitution of the United States, Democracy! How few know what it means and how fewer still ‘enjoy it in America. How few can honestly give the “password of democracy” as formulated by Walt Whitman—“By God I'll accept nothing for myself that all other men may not have on the same terms!” How many one-hundred percenters in America believe in this kind of democracy? Alas, the Negro veteran is begin- ning to realize that he fought in vain! ae Situation at Vicksburg One would naturally suppose that in the Negro papers coming from the flood section there would be found some indications of the way that our race is faring in the relief camps and otherwise. Sc far nothing has appeared unless the following item from the Vicksburg “Advance-Dispatch” of May 6th is an indication. The item reads as follows (ver- batim et literatim): VICKSBURG) UNDERTAKING COMPANY KEEP BUSY ASSISTING HIGH WATER REFUGEES ey ee chanced to drop in at the Vicks~ burg Undertaking Company's place on Jackson St., and was amazed at the business that was going on, ‘under the direction of the proprie- tor, Mr. Newton, (who is the dead man’s friend, and his able assist- ant, Earl Newton, who is a valu- able asset to the business. ‘This enterprise is rendering val- uable service to the refugees using five men on the job, but had to call in three extra men to push the business over.

IRENE'S COURAGE Irene was a poor girl who lived in the slums. She had no mother but her father tried to be both father and mother to her. He ‘worked from 8 o’clock in the morn. ‘ing to 9 in the evening. Irene stay- ed at a friend's house and helped all she could. ‘One day she went home before her father came from work. She was going to make a custard which her father liked. While working and thinking what a sur- prise it would be, the door flew open and an excited man breath. lessly asked: “Where can I hide? Quick!” Without asking questions, Irene showed him an empty closet. No sooner was the closet door shut, when three ruffians ran into the room and harshly demanded the hiding place of the stranger. Irene turned and answered: “You shall not, know, because J will not tell you.” ‘At this, the leader, with a snarl jumped at Irene. ‘At that moment three police. men ran into the room and at onc« took the three men with them. They proved to be very bad men, and as there was a reward for the leader, Irene received it.

More Frederick Douglass stories will be published next week. No time limit was given for the stories, 80 those stories that were received before noon today (Friday), will be given consideration. ‘The picture which appeared in last week's Tribune was that of Frederick Douglass, who did more than any man of his race to arouse the national conscience on the slavery question. He was born a slave in February 1817. He es- caped from slavery by’ running away from his master. He was persuaded by his friends to go to England and from August, 1845 to April 1847, he lectured in Ireland, Scotland,’ and England, and did much to enlist the sym- pathy of the British public for the abolitionists in America, Be- fore his return a sum of 150 pounds was raised by subscription to buy his freedom. From 1847 to 1860 he conducted an anti-slavery weekly journal Known as the “North Star,” and Inter as “Frederick Douglass’ Pa- per," at Rochester, New York. He died in Anacostia Heights, D. C,, on February 20, 1895. THELMA E. CREW (14) The picture of last week was of our most famous Negro orator, Frederick Douglass, He was a slave. He was born at Tuchakoe near Easton, Mary- Jand in 1817. In 1888 he escaped from a Baltimore shipyard and went to the northern states and changed his name from Lloyd or Bailey to Douglass. In 1847 he started a paper, a weekly abolition newspaper, "at Rochester, New York. He died in his home near Wash- ington in 1895.

Mother and daughter have been estranged since Tracy's graduation from college; so, this request brings joy to Mathilde's heart. But, memories of the past rise up before the mother, for it was in this same room that Mathilde had awaited her husband's return home early in the morning eleven years ago, a policeman finally bringing word that Mr. John Hull had been found dead of synthetic gin in a gutter near the Union Station.

And poor, sweet Willy's gone down, down, down—relatively to the cost of living, I mean—don't you see? Why did I do it, Mat, why did I do it?" ATTY, JONES PRAN ELDER SHEAFE By Wm. H. Ferris, A. (Author of "The African A) On Thursday night, Ma the anniversary to Dr. L. Sheafe, in the Seventh Day Church of this city, Assist If she had listened to her father's caustic advice, Mathilde would never have married John. Old Matthew objected to him because he had no profession at twenty-six years of age and no aptitude for business, would not work, was a lounge lizard, etc. Indeed, Matthew had urged his daughter to give up all notion of marriage until she had gone to college and acquired a liberal education. By her silence in an ever memorable scene with her father in the oak panelled library of his home, she had refused this opportunity.

Mother and daughter Tracy's graduation from college; she's heart. But, memories of the past rise in this same room that Mathilde had early in the morning eleven years' word that Mr. John Hull had been gutter near the Union Station.

Old M had no profession at twenty-six years, would not work, was a lounged urged his daughter to give up all gone to college and acquired a library memorable scene with her father's home, she had refused this opp Now go on with the story. second installment How prophetic—how prophetic were her father's words! But, she was very young and very much in love. And he was no psychologist, but only a brash man of business. Mathilde's resolution hardened. If youth listened to prosaic age, it would not be youth at all. John Hull left Mathilde at his glorious death an interesting and extensive collection of debts. These she paid gradually out of her own savings. Upon the marriage, Mathew Johnson, not foreseeing the young man's premature death, had changed his will so as to leave his daughter a very modest income, payable by an impersonal trust company. The house on Fourth street and the furniture were Mr. Johnson's wedding gift, but conditioned by the shrewd proviso that they become "the property of the said Mathilde Johnson Hull's issue, upon her demise." The residuary estate he left in equal shares to his brother in Ohio and his own son, a college professor in Georgia. It seemed best to the widow in her sore distress to send her daughter away to New England to prepare for college. Howard University was at hand but it was coeducational and Mathilde dreaded the possibility of premature romance in Tracy's life. John's Aunt Alice, more puritanical than the Puritans, lived alone in a Massachusetts college town which had but six households of color. It was Miss Hull's earnest wish to have Tracy become a member of her family which consisted of herself, a couple of robins, a canary bird, and a St. Bernard dog. The preparatory school of the town existed for the sole purpose of giving the girls the best possible preparation for the local college. The only other colored student in either institution in Tracy's day was Mary McAllister, daughter of a wealthy insurance man in Atlanta, Georgia. Mary and Tracy spoke when they met but were seldom together. Thus it was for a period of eight years that Tracy lived with her Aunt Alice. The arrangement was at once the most economical possible for Mathilde and, perhaps, from her point of view, the most satisfactory for her daughter's education. The mother's heart was set upon giving Tracy the educational opportunities which she herself in her unwisdom had repudiated. The widow might have let her house or one or two rooms in it, but it was small and she preferred the single luxury of occupying it alone, safeguarded by the faithful Jake. So, she was forced not only to dispense with fine raiment and all forms of social enjoyment hitherto so dear to her, but also to go seriously to work for the sake of Tracy and her costly education. And Mathilde never denied her daughter anything she really needed or earnestly wanted, except that she was not able to pay the cost of her transportation from Massachusetts to the District of Columbia and back in vacation time. She wished the girl never to know how completely she had sacrificed her own life for the sake of her development and her future, never once mentioning the circumstances that she worked from morning till night each day as an ill drudgge at the u. S. Patent Office, kent house with no maid, and practiced myriad petty economies. Certainly, Tracy was happier in ignorance. "What's the use of toiling and moiling" remonstrated Vera Simkins, a fellow drudge, "to get a marry some boob the first minute after? If she weren't pretty, she might need an education to make up for the neglect of the Creator! But, not a daughter of yours. In fact, too much education will spoil her complexion; she's what the boys call a tantalizing brown. School wisdom isn't always wise anyhow—soldom in a woman and more seldom in a colored woman—unless she's going to be a teacher—which she isn't. You're an awfully intriguing woman yourself, Mathilde, did you but know it. If I were a man, I sure would fall for you. The best thing you can do for that Tracy of yours is to get yourself a rich husband, believe it or not. What's the matter with that dumbbell, Luther Dupree? He's inherited a barrel of oil wells in Oklahoma, you know, on the strength of having been suckled by an Indian woman or something: Could you stand him?" No. Mathilde couldn't. Never once did she waver. During all these laborious years of self-sacrifice, she withdrew herself effectually from the large circle of young married people, interesting and gay, with whom she and her husband had been so delightfully associated. The society folk had plenty of money and she none—except for her beloved daughter. She was too proud, of course, to accumulate social obligations which she could not repay. And soon she was forgotten by that brilliant world. The annual dance of the Boule, the Bachelor's Assemblies, the Monacan Balls knew her inimitable charm and almost regal beauty no more. Vera was now her most frequent visitor. She was wont to confide in Mathilde her own kaleidoscopic love affairs. Now it was a dapper clerk in the Fourth Auditor's Office who prided himself upon quoting on the slightest provocation some daring witticism of Oscar Wilde's or, when Wilde failed him, upon attempting some clumsy vulgarity of his own. Now a dashing politician from the wilds of Mississippi, who released his overwrought soul in interminable blank verse. And now some impecunious but passionate dentist who never could get his fill of kisses. Fatally at least once each week, Sally Queen, a lanky high school teacher, called with all her nasality dressed in the miscellaneous colors of the rainbow. She regaled Mathilde with school politics—that meanest of human concerns. Eternal were her lamentations over her grievous error of the head twenty years ago in rejecting the somewhat elephantine but very assiduous suit of an honest-to-God butter- and-egg man, who now resides grandly on R street, near Fourteenth. "Ye gods, Mat," she cried each time she rehearsed the affecting tale, "tell me, O tell me, why did I do it?—why did I do it? And Willy Pone wasn't a thing then but a Florida avenue drug clerk and he's nothing but that this minute—only he's at a South Washington store. And Jimmy, who never had Willy's line of talk and never wore swell clothes or anything—Jimmy's gone straight up to the top in the Second and Third Mortgage business; and there he sits today with his silk hat and his mammoth bank roll and his Pierce Arrow, puffing the fattest Havana yet made. And poor, sweet Willy's gone down, down, down—relatively to the cost of living, I mean—don't you see? Why did I do it, Mat, why did I do it?" Gwendolyn Jackson, whose father lost all his money, like a fool, in egg farming according to Department of Agriculture Bulletins, soon after her return from her studio in Paris, brought Mathilde vivacious stories of well-known society women who sat to her for portraits—semi-occasionally for miniatures au naturel—for their husbands, of course! The only regular visitor of the masculine persuasion that Mathilde had in all these dreary years, was John Hull's college chum, George Rawlinson, with keen wit and merry laughter. He was a newcomer to Washington. Sometimes he took her to the theater—she adored motion pictures of the best order—and now and again to a lecture at the National Geographic Society. His talk was of art—his knowledge of the history of painting being very unusual—of literature, politics, sports. The race problem he eschewed but, if compelled, could discuss it with detachment and clarity. It was the June of Tracy's graduation from college. Mathilde was very happy; her baby would be home again very soon. She talked of little else. One Sunday evening it happened that Sally and Gwendolyn and Vera were all gathered in conclave in her house when in came Rawlinson from a long walk through Rock Creek Park, his face all aglow. He bowed low to the ladies and, not particularly fancying Mathilde's friends except Gwendolyn, who stirred his curiosity, relapsed into the silence of the oyster. "So you are the congenital bachelor elor that Mrs. Hull has spoken to us about?" piped Vera much to the discomfiture of both Rawlinson and Mathilde. "All I ever said to Vera," Mathilde hastened to assure the gentleman, "was that the only man who ventures within these portals is that variety of bachelor." "Here and now, I rise to say," proceeded Sally as if she were addressing a public meeting, "that the sorrist blunder man or woman can make it not to give heed when Fate knocks on the door. Lend an ear or two, I say. For, that was my one blunder and now, behold, my whole life is a holy mess!" "Ah!" said Gwendolyn softly. And, turning to Rawlinson, "Most of the men, I know, who are married—and, of course, the handsomer a man is, the greater the probability of his being caught in the net early—secretly wish at times they were bachelors again—for the sheer devilty of the thing. And most of those who aren't, ascribe their incompleteness either to the hard-heartedness of the woman. How is it with you, Mr. Rawlinson?" (Continued next week).

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1927 ATTY, JONES PRAISES ELDER SHEAFE ATTY, JONES PRAISES ELDER SHEAFE By Wm. H. Ferris, A.M. (Author of "The African Abroad") On Thursday night, May 5, at the anniversary to Dr. Lewis C. Sheafe, in the Seventh Day Baptist Church of this city, Assistant District Attorney Thomas L. Jones made a protest against the decadent tendencies of the hour and the pernicious drift of modern civilization in a manner that held the audience spellbound. For five nights, journalists, lawyers, ministers and college professors, lauded Elder Sheafe. For five nights, the audience had been regaled with classic music, both vocal and instrumental. It had been entertained and more than entertained. But it had experienced no thrill. But the thrill came when the Honorable Thomas L. Jones, who had been a law partner of Honorable John Mercer Langston, when he was elected to Congress from Virginia, and who was appointed Assistant District Attorney two years ago, by President Coolidge, stepped to the rostum and with ringing voice uttered his protest against the irreligion of the present day and the indifference of the church. Mr. Jones said in his impassioned peroration, "Away with this narrowness in the pulpit and among our brothers of the church, if there ever was a time when the Christian church should wake up it is today. "Do you not know that between the time Malachi prophesied and closed the book, for 500 years there was silence—not a word from Heaven during that dark period? Men and women began to say that what Isaiah said was false, what Daniel said was ffalse, what Ezekiel said was false, what Job, the great mathematician and geometrician, said was false. They said all the prophets' prophecies were in vain—there was no God, there was no Christ coming to be born in Bethlehem of Judea. During that dark period do you not know that the nations experienced the same thing through which the world is going today? Every sign that showed itself in that dark period of 500 years of stillness and darkness is still beating on the skies. God is writing them on the skies. The nations had better beware!

Subcommittee to Report This subcommittee is expected to make its report and recommendations to the trustees at their next semi-annual meeting commencement week. Another matter now being fought out between the General Alumni Association and the trustees is the position now held by Emory B. Smith as alumni secretary. Mr. Smith has never been accepted by the association and since his appointment three years ago, a bitter fight has been waged against him. It is believed however, that with the new spirit that Dr. Johnson has brought to the university and the desire for harmony on all sides, that before commencement of this year, a satisfactory adjustment of all these problems will be worked out.

One of the most complete bath houses in the country, fully equipped in every respect, including showers, is now rapidly being completed at Cedar Haven", he said. "A large stretch of beach is being thoroughly dragged. Where we find mud we are completely chocking it out with a mixture of sand and gravel. Very shortly we will have a beautiful bathing beach in every respect", he concluded.

Harris PHILADELPHIA, May 26—The Philadelphia; Baltimore and Washington A.M.E. Zion Conference with Bishop J. W. Caldwell presiding over 150 ministers closed the one hundredth annual session Sunday, May 22, with crowds which the New Wesley Zion Church and The Vickrick Chapel were unable to hold. All of the regular Sunday School sessions were held in the Sunday school room of the new Wesley Zion Church, which Rev. H. D. Tillman had erected and whose main auditorium will be available for services in a month or so. The appointments were read in the Varkick Chapel on Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning over 60 automobiles were parked along Lombard street and south Fifteenth street, as 1200 people were jammed in the Sunday school room and hundreds were turned away at this service. Dr. H. T. Medford occupied the pulpit. Bishop Caldwell ordained the elders and deacons before a crowded house in Varkick Chapel Sunday afternoon. Dr. R. W. Matthews, the missionary secretary made a fervent appeal for the Mississippi flood sufferers. Dr. J. W. McCoy preached the closing sermon on Sunday night. Financial Report ...On making his financial report Sunday afternoon Bishop J. W. Caldwell stated that the total amount raised, $16,148.42, was the largest amount in the aggregate for general Conference claims. The amount was itemized as follows: general conference claims $9,700; Livingstone College Drive $1,500; local conference fees $3,500; general conference and delegates expenses $1,029; Douglass Hospital $67; Blood Sufferers $242.42.

It is expected that the plan will bring in great results in view of a similar one having netted $6000 in New York last Sunday. LAW SCHOOL PROF. URGES "LIFE GOAL" AT BANOUET At a banquet given Saturday evening, May 21, at 1719 First street, northwest, by the graduating class of the law department of Freinghuyssen University to the president and the law faculty of that school, Dean L. Melendez King told the graduates his reason for pursuing the study of law. He related the story of how his helpless mother and family (during the absence of his father) were unlawfully ejected from their little farm in Virginia. Although a lad of about twelve years, he realized this injustice and swore vengeance on the aggressor. To carry out his plans, he prepared himself for the study of law. After being admitted to practice, he returned to his Virginia home, brought action against the guilty person and restored his mother to her home and property, "The moral of this," Dean King explained "is to have a definite aim in life and work diligently toward that goal." The object of the banquet, as told by the class president, William McK. Murray was to express to the members of the faculty and the president of the university, the high regards in which they were held by the graduating law class. Henrietta L. Trusty, one of the class, was then appointed as mistress of ceremonies. Words of encouragement and guidance were given by the university's president and all of the faculty present who were: Attorneys Augustus W. Gray, L. R. Mehlinger, L. Melendez King, Zeph P. Moore, John F. Collins, Sylvester L. McLaurin, Edmund Hill, and President Jesse Lawson. The class includes Henrietta L. Trusty, Elizabeth P. Armstead, Samuel A. Early, Lewis E. Atkinson, Russell Brown, Elisha E. Almond, Ralph L. Burrell, and William McK. Murray.

The Radio Operator at the Power Plant taps out the message to the isolated truck and, as quickly, it is received.

Oriental and Myrtles Tied for Lead in the Union League ```markdown ``` Sam's Scripts Fols, would you believe Lefty George Smith is back again in the fold of the Washington Black Sox Smith is perhaps one of the leading individual combinations of outfielders and pitcher to be found around Washington, but my, my my how fickle. This Sunday will find him with the Le Droits, next bath day he'll sign with the Sox, then in another week the portisers will have returned to his first love Heard two fellows giving opinions one day last week as to who was the better catcher betw en Gillespie of the Washington Black Sox and Davis of the Le Droit Tiger receiving staff. It is the writer's opinion that "Keystone" Davis is the city's best colored semipro catcher. While Gillespie is, without a doubt, a wonderful receiver possessing an arm of iron, the writer picks the Tiger due to his superior experience and steadiness. Davis is an equally capable receiver, smart, and with a deadly accurate whip. Placing the Black Sox man second to Davis is by no means a reflection on Gillespie's ability. Both are great catchers, and among the best to be found in semi-professional baseball. Only one thing can be said in favor of the Baltimore Giants, the team the Black Sox played at Union League Park last Sunday. "They certainly can stand punishment." All hail "The Hilltop"!! THEY WANT INTERCOLLEGIAE COMPETITION. "Really," says the publication of May 20, "we should be ashamed! With our magnificent stadium, our galaxy of excellent athletes, and our well earned reputation for interesting and successful programs," that such an exhibition as that of May 14 should be the best they have to offer. My, my, I don't know what is to become of these modern students. Tom Payne, once the best catcher in the city and remarkable all-round baseball player, is making quite a reputation as an umpire, "Rabbit" as he is known to all the "dyed-in-the-wool" baseball fans works in conjunction with Danny Despert at Union League Park every Sunday. Nip Winters, versatile pitcher and first baseman for Ed Bolden's Hilldales has clouted 10 home runs thus far this season. Winters is a product of the Washington sand-lots. The Darby magnate drew Nip from the staff of the Le Droit Tigers eight years ago. a neat bit of strategy, eh what? With the score tied in the seventh inning of the Le Droit Tiger-Myrtle A.C. game last Sunday, Manager Jackson outsmarted Captain Kenner of the Tigers. Jefferson was on third base and Davis at bat with one out. Expecting an attempt to squeeze the run in, with Davis an ideal bunter on the squeezing end, the Myrtle boss sent "Cat" Taylor, a fast fielding pitcher in to relieve the slow moving Green. Taylor nipped the runner at the plate and Davis was trapped attempting to reach second. "Sugar" Hammond, formerly a slab artist of the Armstrong High school baseball team opposed his former teammates on the mound for the Howard Freshmen Monday. The Howardite was hit rather freely by the undergrads. HILLDALES LOSE TWICE TO BUSHWICK NINE BROOKLYN, N. Y., May 22.—Script Lee, Washington boy, who is usually poison against white teams, failed here today against the Bushwicks. Lee gave 8 free passes during a siege of wildness which was directly responsible for his team's loss. Bunching hits off Cockrell in their sixth and seventh frames, the Bushwicks also took the night-cap from Ed. Bolden's crew.

CHARLESTON AND DALLARD FINED FOR ROW AT HARRISBURG Determined not to tolerate any rowdy tactics in the Eastern Colored League, President Nutter has fined Oscar Charleston, centerfielder of the Harrisburg Giants and Morris Dallard, first baseman of the Bacharach Giants $25 each for participating in a fight during a game at Harrisburg. The new leader is out to eliminate all rowdyism from the games in the Eastern League and intimates that succeeding offenses will be dealt with more severely. THE SPORT REVIEW UNION LEAGUE DOUBLE 0 UNION LEAGUE DOUBLE 0 TheUnion. Baseball league has taken on the proportions of a real flag race. The Myrtles, taking two games from last year's champions, the Le Droit Tigers, moved into a first place tie with Elgie Richards Orientalis, while the Washington Giants by annexing a pair of wins over the Piedmonts obtained a toehold on second place, close to the deadlocked leaders. The doubleheader Sunday which will bring together the two leading clubs should be a battle from start to finish. Then there is another meeting which should prove interesting and hotly contested. The rejuvenated Washington Giants, now heading the Le Droit Tigers by one and a half games are booked to hook up with Burrell Kenner's charges on the southwest lot. Sunday's games will bring together the two leaders, the second and the last two teams. Unable, for some reason unknown to the writer, to play Sunday as scheduled, the Washington Giants vied with the Piedmonts Monday and Tuesday evenings. Again Freddy Woods' boys went down to a double defeat. The damage done in the Monday game was to the extent of an 8-1 score, while the Tuesday melee finished 10-4. The 1925 and 26 champions were unable to match runs with the Myrtle club in their meeting at 24 and Benning, hence the twilight fell on two stinging defeats for the team from Le Droit Park. The scores were 13-10 and 6-5. Down in southwest a fairly good turn over witnessed the split between the Orientalts and the team from Alexandria which calls itself the Lafayettes. Loose field enabled the visitors to win the opener 6-5 while the home team romped to an easy 11-1 victory in the night-on HAMPTON WINS LINCOLN TRACK MEET The Blue and White track team of Hampton Institute took a squad of fourteen men to the second annual open track meet of Lincoln University and amassed 49 points for first place in the meet, capturing the mile relay. The relay was a duplication of the race staged at the Hampton meet between Hampton and Lincoln, with the exception hat Lincoln maintained a lead of about sixteen yards ahead of Baldwin. Hampton's star anchor man. Baldwin overtook Stratton to capture the relay trophy. Hampton captured seven first places; Coles carried off the honors in the mile and two-mile runs in his usual form. Other first places included the broad jump, the 880-run, the 440-vard dash, and the polo valut. BLACK SOX TO PLAY SUNDAY AND MONDAY BLACK SOX TO PLAY SUNDAY AND MONDAY Sunday and Monday, May 29 and 30, the Washington Black Sox will entertain the Northeast Motor Company nine in double-headers. Both games are scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. Colored baseball enthusiast will have the opportunity to see the two teams which battled to 3-2 and 4-3 decisions on Sunday, May 15. Due to the hazy sky and threatening weather which prevailed on that day a number of the fans stayed indoors and missed a rare treat. The Motors Company team with Tots Long, Blackie Ellwood, Earl Moser, Tommy Hooke, Calkins, and Finch, present a formidable array of ball tossers, and having lost to the colored team in their previous engagement the white boys are expected to do a great deal of preparing for the next meeting with the Sox. These two teams will play a double-header Sunday, and another on Monday, Decoration Day. Games are scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. The Mohawk Club, white, semi-professional champions of the District, have signed for games with the Black Sox. The first of these meetings will take place Sunday, June 5. WHITE SOX WIN PAIR The Maryland White Sox took two games last Sunday. Playing on their home diamond in the morning they defeated the Piedmont Tigers of Baltimore in a 5-1 engagement, then journeying over to Bladensburg the Sox gained a 13-3 verdict over the Giants of that place. Weldon and Walls the hurlers on the occasions of these two games displayed a varied array of shoots. Sunday, May 29, the White Sox meet the fast Hillsdale of Washington on the Lakeland diamond. For games write J. Robinson, 407-Ivy street, Brentwood, Md. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor BLACK SOX WIN EASY TWIN BILL The Baltimore Giants were no match for the Washington Black Sox in their double header last Sunday afternoon at Union League Park. The scores were 14-1 and 12-0. The team had nothing whatever. Briscoe, starting his first game of the season for the local team, pitched brilliant ball allowing but three hits, and deserving a shut-out. The Sox won a technical knockout in the second game. Umpire Tom Payne stopped the slaughter at the end of the fifth frame to save the visitors from further punishment.

Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., May 26—The youthful Kansas City lad, Cotton, of Blue and White fame, was forced to exert his last ounce of energy to defeat the C.I.A.A. champion of 1926, Norman Reid of Germantown, Pa., and Davis of Washington, defeated Peters and Booker of St. Paul for the doubles title. Hampton gained a leg on the individual silver loving cup that Seminary held last year through the victory of Norman Reid. Virginia Seminary gained a leg on the trophy for the doubles that was held by the Shaw University. Davis of Washington is well-known as a net star in the circles in which the renowned Tally Holmes fits. His huge size is in no way a hindrance in getting about the court. The schools represented in the tournament were Shaw University, St. Paul, Hampton, Union University, Lincoln University, and Virginia Seminary and College, Virginia State College and A. & T. were unable to send teams this year. The doubles teams were composed as follows: Shaw, Howell and Armstrong; Virginia eminary, Reid and Davis, with Smith as substitute; Lincoln, Jones and Wyatt; Hampton, Brown and Moore; St. Paul, Peters and Booker; and Union, Williams and Coleman. The singles team were as follows: Shaw, Howell; Virginia Seminary; Reid; Lincoln, Whittington; Hampton, Cotton; St. Paul, Peters; Union, Ballard. Preliminaries of doubles: Shaw drew a bye. Seminary defeated Lincoln 6-0, 6-0. Union drew a bye. St. Paul defeated Hampton 6-1, 4-6, 6-4. Semi-finals of doubles: Seminary defeated Shaw 6-1, 6-3. St. Paul defeated Union 6-2, 6-2. Finals of doubles: Seminary defeated St. Paul 6-3, 6-2. Preliminaries of the singles: Seminary drew a bye. Union defeated Lincoln 6-0, 9-7. St. Paul drew a bye. Hampton defeated Shaw 6-4, 8-6. Semi-finals of the singles: Seminary defeated Union 6-3, 6-3. Hampton defeated St. Paul 6-2, 9-7. Finals of the singles: Hampton defeated Seminary 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1927 THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR By Sam Lacy coach of the attacked in the unattacked in the by a white p the writer rece the Tribune afternoon at the ment which alw anguely remember dr. Evans claim said in response and that in a no ne would never doubt there is howard is on the ational Open Ch held at the How at be blamed for vented, but even could have" part Howard University which calls the that a weather at the Hilltop" and the belief that the on the calibre all but ruined H the collapse of the with Howard and they are in the Mr. DuValle Evans, coach of the Dunbar High School baseball team, who was recently attacked in this column by the editor, for his attitude on the occasion for an unwarranted ill treatment administered a Dunbar student by a white policeman some few weeks ago, was in conference with the writer recently. Mr. Evans convinced the Tribune Sports Editor that his indifference on that Thursday afternoon at the high school stadium was due to the amount of excitement which always prevails just before a baseball game. While he vaguely remembers being told something in regard to the incident, Mr. Evans claims that he was unconscious of anything he might have said in response. The Dunbar coach emphatically declares that he is not of the "Yes sah, boss" type, and that in a normal state of mind, free from a pitch of excitement, he would never give reason to be represented as such. Without reasonable doubt there is nothing left but for all of us to be convinced that Howard is on the wrong track. This fact was proven at the recent National Open Championships and Interscholastic Track and Field meet held at the Howard Stadium, May 14. True Howard cannot be blamed for the conflict in dates which Saturday, May 14, presented, but even so it is doubtful whether any other college teams "would have" participated had there been no interference. "The Hilltop," a Howard University publication, dated May 20, carries an editorial which calls the hand of the university authorities and advises them that a weather alibi is practically useless. This column agrees with "The Hilltop" and suggests that those responsible be not fooled into the belief that the inclement conditions had any effect, worth mentioning, on the calibre of the meet. Fraternities have all but ruined Howard in her athletic endeavors. And now a complete collapse of the athletic enthusiasm is threatened merely because both Howard and the C.I.A.A. are too foolishly egotistic to admit that they are in the leastways wrong in their "baby like" controversy. MORGAN COLLEGE BOWS TO H. U. MORGAN COLLEGE BOWS TO H. U. BALTO, Md., May 21.—With Captain "Meji" Monroe leading the team at bat and Roy pitching a bang-up game, the Howard Bisons annexed their second victory of the season here today over Coach Charlie Drew's Morgan Bears. Roy allowed six hits which he kept well scattered, no twin coming in the same inning. Howard's entire team, on the other hand, shared in punishing the Baltimore pitcher, McCleed. Only three Morganites, Chase, Clarke and Lawless took part in the Morgan batting. This trio garnered 3, 2 and 1 safeties, respectively.

HILLDALE PUTS CRIMP IN LINGOLN GIANTS' STREAK HILADELPHIA, May 21-John Henry Lloyd and his gang of first place Lincoln Giants ran into a bunch of trouble when they paid their first visit of the season to Hildale Park. The final figures showing the home team out in front by the score of 9 to 2. Warfield shook up the order of the Darby Daisies and with telling effect. George Carr was boosted to the leadoff post and third in the order and Otto lived up to the task by socking out a triple, double, and a single, sending three runs across the plate and scoring two more. For seven innings it was a hotly contested pitcher's battle with Recor having a shade on Nip Winters, but in the eighth frame the home team unlashed a barrage of base hits that coupled with errors by the New Yorkers netted Bolden's crew five runs. The victory tightened the league race and enabled the Bacharach Giants to edge up on the leading Lincoln team. Lincolns ..... 011 000 000 2 Hildale ..... 100 210 05x 9 Two-base hits: Yancey, Briggs.

JUNIOR HIGH MEET The Junior High School track and field meet was one of the best of the series of annual meets for the junior schools. Randall very easily out-pointed the Shaw and Phelps' boys. The scores for the schools were as follows: Ranall, 54 points; Phelps, 29 points, and Shaw 25 points. This marks the third successive win for Randall which school scored exactly as many points as Shaw and Phelps combined. The excellence of the Randall team was largely due to the well trained athletes in the small boy class. Her 95-pound class boys scored eight out of twelve places for this weight. The winners of the 95-pound class were: 60-yard dash—won by Thomas (R); second, Richardson (R); third, Jackson (R). Broad jump—won by Jackson (R); second, Thomas (R); third, Sharps (S). High jump—won by Minor (R); second, Caldwell (R); third, Carter (P). Relay—won by Randall (Jackson, Richardson, Smith, Thomas); second, Shaw. The 115-pound class winners were: 70-yard dash—won by McKenzie (P); second, Cooper (S); third, Davis (R). Broad jump—won by Davis (R); second, Jones (R); third, Cooper (S). Shot put—won by Robinson (R); second, Courtney (A); third, Young (R). Relay—won by Randall (Jones, Courtney, Robinson, Davis); second, Pheips. Unlimited Weight Class 100-yard dash—won by Gerald (S); second, Harvey (P); third, Coates (P). Shot put—won by Gerald (S); second, Lloyd (S); third, Sims (P). High jump—won by Coates (P); second, Barnes (P); third, Bruce (P). Relay—won by Phelps (Harvey, Bruce, Barnes, Coates); second, Shaw. Elementary Meet The elementary school, 12-13 Division Athletic League meet was held yesterday afternoon to determine entrants for the city championship field and track meet. Only two schools sent entrants, Bell and Lovejoy, and because of the superior training of the Lovejoy boys in every event, that school took all honors although numbers of Bell School boys qualified for the city championships. The Summaries 50-yard dash: won by Neal, Curtis and Young all of Lovejoy. 60-yard dash: won by Fennell; second, J. Mason; third, L. Mason of Lovejoy. 70-yard dash: won by Bryan; second, Cash; third, Kemey, of Lovejoy. 100-yard dash: won by Auberry; second, Dowell of Lovejoy. The relays were all won by Lovejoy: 80-pound class: won by (Young, Curtis, Wesley, Neal). 95-pound class: won by (Fernell, Hawkins, L. Mason, J. Mason). 115-pound class: won by (Cash, Kenney, Jones, Bryant). Unlimited weight class: won by (Dowell, Carter, Skipper, Albury). The meet was conducted by Messrs. Henderson, Contee, Wesley, Sewall and Wilkinson. The winners in the dashes and the entrants in the jumps will contest with the entrants from the 10-11th Division Monday, June 6, at the Dunbar stadium. Mackell were off their games, and the match was poorly played. In the second flight Robinson forced Hardy to 19 holes before the latter was able to win. Cook annexed third flight honors over Taylor, 3 and 2. **Semi-final Rounds** 1st Flight: Mackell defeated Spriggs 2 and 1; Honesty defeated Smith 3 and 2. 2nd Flight: Hardy defeated Jones by default; Robinson defeated Fields 5 and 4. 3rd Flight: Cook defeated Edwards 2 and 1; Taylor defeated Waters by default. **SORE LEGS HEALED.** Open Legs, Ulcers, Enlarged Veins, Goiter, Eczema healed while you work.

The Howard University Freshmen—and otherwise — joined the growing list of Armstrong's victims. They were defeated 10-6. With good support Lynn, serving them up for the Techites, kept the Hilltop hits few and far between. Three fast double plays, inserted at timely moments by the smoothly functioning Armstrong infield, spoiled several attempted Howard rallies. Jones, the Bison catcher, was easily the outstanding individual star of the pastime. His uncanny handling of fouls, and his deadly accuracy in throwing to the bases was always a boon to his opponents. The Armstrong team has three games remaining on its schedule, one of which is the second clash with Dunbar in the Scholastic Championship series.

The tourney was planned and run off under the management of John Shippeng, Sr., the club professional, and a committee composed of W. Carter, T. F. Fields, T. Edwards, and Percell Pride.

Tn the supporting cast will be seen stars as Carol Dempster, Ricardo Cortez and Lyade Putti. ‘It is seldom that such a picture as “Sorrows of Satan” would open its run during the middle of the week but in view of the fact that the management has such a large number of spectacular productions ‘to offer that they are not able to get in all of these for Sunday op- ening and to insure the theatre- goers real amusement it has been found necessary to put in one or more of the larger productions every week in order to show the public ‘the best that is in film: before they become too old. On Saturday, June 4, will be shown Marie Prevost. ‘in “The Night Bride.” This is a good |story of a bride-to-be who is on her way to the marriage altar, sh discovers her finance in the arms of her own sister.

HARRISBURG BEATS LIN COUNS TWICE NEW YORK CITY, May 22.—The Harrisburg Giants dealt the Lincolns' quite a jolt when they registered a pair of setbacks in the Lincoln games here today by scores of 9-4 and 13-5. Ping Gardner, a product of the sandlots of Washington, finished the matinee game when Carter seemed to falter in the seventh, then pitched his team to a decisive 13-5 victory to call it a day.

Again, Harris was on the mound for the Gladiators and in the course of the nine innings sent 8 alien batsmen away from the plate in an uncomfortable mood. The Gladiators are anxious to hear from the Hildaels and other fast teams concerning games. Their manager can be reached at Lincoln 7450-j. LINCOLN GIANTS TO RETURN MONTALVO TO THE WEST Keenan Relinquishes Claim on Cuban for the Good of the Game By Lloyd P. Thompson ATLANTIC CITY, May 20. Whether or not the much mooted question of where Montalvo, the Cuban outfielder shall play, has been settled, will be definitely known within a fortnight or so. In the meantime the presiding officers of the two leagues will confer. Jim Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants, has agreed to the wishes of his fellow commissioners in the East and will leave Montalvo out of the Lincoln Giants lineup. Such was the outcome of the meeting of the commissioners of the Eastern Colored League held in Atlantic City. Article 3 Cited Claiming that he has done nothing to strain the relations between the two leagues and that he acted within his own rights in signing the Cuban player, Keenan cites a paragraph of Article 3 in the joint agreement adopted by the two leagues in Chicago 1924. Article 3 reads "No player who has played with a club in either league for a season, or part of a season, shall be employed or permitted to play with a club in the same or other league during the season immediately following without a proper release from the club last employing him." No Baseball Ike Courted by East President Ike, Nutter of the Eastern League maintains that his ruling on the case was proper according to the agreement erected between the two leagues, but he also rails that harmonious relations between the leagues is absolutely essential to further the development of the game among race cups. In justice to the player, Montalvo, who has been kept out of baseball the entire season of 1926, president Nutter's concession is that the West must give him employment or declare him a free agent. MORRIS BROWN CLOSES SUCCESSFUL BASEBALL SEASON The Morris Brown baseball team stepped into the limelight by winning 21 out of 28 games for the 1927 season. Sixteen of these games were played on foreign soil, with the Whirlinwids winning 12. The team travelled as far north as Washington, the first southern baseball team to go that distance. Those over Howard and Union were the prize victories of the season. Coach Johnson was especially anxious to defeat these northern teams and sacrificed the possibility of a southern championship to do so, playing five conference games in the last week, losing three out of five. Three of the conference games lost were by one run. The success of the team was due to good pitching and heavy hitting. Morris Brown scored a total of 238 runs to their opponents' 118, an average of over eight runs per game. Teams and scores are as follows, the first column of figures being Morris Brown scores: Morris Brown— 8; Washington High School, 3. 7; U. S. P.

Footlights By "Mac" "Oh, my, my, my!" Eddie Hunter, with this expression and his very, very good show, "4-11-44," surely kept the audience at the Howard Theatre in a continual state of hilarity this week. Eddie, by the way, is rated about the best comedian on the stage today, and to my way of thinking, he deserves the rating. "4-11-44" is a good show, with a bevy of beauties who seem to know what it's all about. This fact is attested when you know that the show has played only three colored houses, including the Howard, this season. The other two were in Newark and Philadelphia. All the other performances have been on the Columbia Burlesque Circuit; and during the entire season, packed houses have greeted the company almost at every performance. The show surely packs a "mean" line-up of stars in it. train. There's LeRoy Broomfield and his partner, Aurora Greeley, whose dancing approaches so near the artistic that one loses sight of the fact that one is watching a burlesque show. LeRoy was quite a hit when entertaining in Chicago, and since then he seems to have acquired additional ability and an exceptionally capable partner. Then there's Crawford Jackson, also a Chicago boy, who is among the best tap-Charleston dancers of the day. And he can really step. Peculiarly, practically all of the outstanding stars in this show are men. Yet though having no celestial role, the female end of the company is kept in the limelight by the chorus girls, and in spite of the ample costumes, the girls show rare form. Oh, my, my, my!" The talent night performances at the Republic Theatre remind me very much of a theatre in Chicago, called the Monogram, where old songs and old jokes are put over in a modern manner. Yet, the bills are entertaining, and usually draw a round of applause and laughter. Last Saturday, the Republic's bill included Dooley and Robinson, Chick, and Ralph and Texas. The latter team was the best on the program. The singing of Texas was good, and her dancing was even better. The jokes told by Dooley and Robinson, though old, were well put across, and caught the approval of the audience. Jimmie Johnson, who was here last week with the "Southland Revenue" at the Howard, is giving his home town, fans (he's a Washington "boy" you know) a further treat this week. He is singing at the Lincoln between movie performances, and as usual, is going over big. In spite of a bad cold and the faulty acoustic qualities of the theatre, Jimmie succeeds in captivating his audience. It seems that fate will force me to change one of the purposes of this column. Remember I said I would name the Washington girls in the various shows that come to Washington? Well, it seems that I'll have to change, and say I'll name the Washington men who are with the shows. Last week, you'll remember, Jimmie Johnson was the only Washingtonian in the "Southland Revue." This week, though the cast is not quite like that, yet, there is a Washington boy to be named. He is Teddy Blackman, who spent all of his school days in Washington, and ended them in a blaze of glory as the star quarterback of the Howard University football team in the year of '23, '24, and '25. For this reason, Teddy is very well known about Washington. He is, too, a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Teddy's role before the audience in this show is small, though what he does, he does exceedingly well. Most of his work, however, is supervising the dancing and the stage. Fate was kind enough, however, to place two Washington girls in "4-11-44", or was it Eddie Hunter's kindness? Oh, my, my, my! They are Mrs. Nettie Brynn, who is the wardrope mistress, and Margaret Jones, one of the chorus girls. Teddy Blackman and Jimmie are planning to team together for the coming season on tour. They ought to make a swell outfit, with Jimmie's singing and Teddy's dancing. Oh, my, my, my! As an extra added attraction the Lincoln Theatre management has just secured the services of two artists who need no introduction to the Washington public. They are Salem Tutt Whitney, late of the famous Smarter Set Company, and Mabel Ridley, formerly one of the Three Harmony Maids. These two celebrated and popular artists come to the Lincoln for a limited engagement of one week beginning Sunday, May 29, in their newest singing act. From all the advance advertising that have ben given, their latest efforts have been in presenting an act par excellence. 2; Talladega College, 3. 6; Atlanta University, 0.

Miss Simpson is a single DUNBAR TEACHER SUED (Continued from page 1) all taxes, water rents, insurance and necessary repair bills on this property, Mrs. Reed says, and provide her with the necessities of life, if she should be without means, and also provide her with a suitable Christian burial at death. On January 9, 1923, the property was conveyed, Mrs. Reed declares, and Miss Simpson accepted the conveyance and ever since has paid the water rent and taxes, but she has neglected to make necessary repairs and refused to provide her with the necessities of life according to her agreement. The property is in need of repairs, Mrs. Reed claims, and although she has made demands upon her niece to have these repairs made, Miss Simpson has refused to do so and the property is depreciating. More than 18 months ago, says Mrs. Reed, she fell into necessitous circumstances and ever since she has been without means and unable to supply herself with the necessaries of life. She is an invalid, unable to do any work whatever or even take care of the quarters in which she lives, Mrs. Reed states. She is dependent, she declares, upon the charity and kindness of neighbors to clean and cook for her and upon the Visiting Nurse Society to bathe her. She has been under the constant care of physicians, her present physician being Dr. William G, Lofton, 1737 Eleventh street, northwest. She is indebted to Dr. Lofton, she says, in the sum of more than $200 and has no money with which to pay him. On April 1, Mrs. Reed states, she forwarded to Miss Simpson Dr. Lofton's bill for $180, but Miss Simpson has not paid it. Her total resources, Mrs. Reed says, are $22.50 a month, $25 of which comes from the rent of the first floor of her home and $7.50 from the Government as disability payments. Her expenses would be $167 a month approximately if she were given the care and attention recommended by her physician. She needs an invalid chair and crutches. "Niece is Neglectful" Although her condition is well known to Miss Simpson, and repeated demands have been made on her to supply her with necessaries, Mrs. Reed states, Miss Simpson has neglected and refused to do so. Miss Simpson, she says, has made some small contributions to her but they have been inadequate to sustain her life and health. At the present time Miss Simpson is making contributions to her, Mrs. Reed states. The attitude of Miss Simpson toward her is hostile and oppressive whenever she is called upon DUNBAR THEATRE R. H.

JOHN J. BRICE, who was recently appointed Bandmaster of the Howard University R.O. T.C. Band. Sergeant John J. Brice was appointed to the post of band master at Howard University on May 4 to succeed Warrant Officer Dorey Rhodes, who received a promotion and commission recently. Sergeant Brice entered military service in August, 1917. He served with the 350th Field Artillery Band overseas. He was honorably discharged March 19, 1919, but reentered the service with the United States 24th Infantry Band on March 25, 1919. With this outfit, he served until May 12, 1926. He attended the Army Music School, Washington Barracks, D.C. during the years of '23, '24, '25 and '26. He was an honor graduate of that institution. His present position makes him director of the Howard University R.O.T.C. Band. MUSICIANS ENTERTAINED The Musicians' Protective Association local No. 710 entertained delegates attending the annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians held in Baltimore, last week, at a smoker in the Palm Room of the Club De Luxe, Seventh and S streets, northwest, last Tuesday night. Rufus G. Byars, manager of the Broadway Theatre, served as the master of ceremonies. Music was furnished by the White Brothers and the Black and White orchestras. Miss Edith Coleman did a dance number. Remarks were made by Karl Phillips, commissioner of conciliation, Labor Department, and Sergeant John J. Brice, Howard University bandmaster.
