Moton, the colored advisory commission of the Mississippi Valley flood disaster held its initial session at Red Cross headquarters here Thursday and made plans to immediately invade the stricken flooded territories on a tour of inspection. The commission which included representative colored men and women from various sections was appointed by Secretary Hoover for the purpose of giving President Coolidge's Mississippi Flood Committee and the American National Red Cross, the benefit of their advise on "Questions affecting the care of the colored population in our refugee camps and flooded territories." The commission is to receive suggestions and complaints and make the necessary investigations, so as to give complete assurance of the proper handling of every phase of relief eff ting colored people. The efforts at rehabilitation of the refugees and of assisting those who have had all their earthly possessions swept away, are to be carefully considered by the commission and out of its finding it is hoped that a way to relieve some of the intense suffering and privation being undergone by the victims of the terrible devastation may be found. Members of the commission appointed thus far include Dr. Robert R. Moton, chairman; Bishop Robert E. Jones of the M. E. Church, president; Joseph S.

Morse, is contesting the validity of his will. Her guardian pending the litigation, David F. Smith, an attorney, has filed a cawcat attacking it. Dr. Morse died March 2. Two hours before his death he married Miss Aline M. Chandler while on his death bed in Fredemen's Hospital. Doctors had told him that death was only a matter of a few hours. In his will he bequeathed one-half of his real property at 1100 Nineteenth street, northwest, valued at $50,000, to his daughter and one-third of his entire estate valued at $70,000 to Mrs. Aline Chandler Morse. The will was dated February 26, 1927. His daughter, through her guardian, alleges that the will was executed under the undue influence of Mrs. Aline Chandler Morse and while Dr. Morse was incapable of making a valid will.

In appreciation of Miss Howland's services at Freedmen's Hospital, the student body presented her with a magnificent basket of American Beauty roses, together with a letter, expressing their devotion. The roses were presented to Miss Howland by Dr. Willard M. Lane, a member of the surgical staff. Many other gifts have been received by Miss Howland from her friends. Probably the most touching of her gifts was one of a considerable sum of money from the surgical staff of Freedmen's, presented to her by Doctors Hartford Burwell and J. E. H. Taylor.

Lautier The inaugural address of President Mordecai Wyatt Johnson was the feature of the fifty-eighth annual commencement exercises of Howard University. In the presence of two members of the cabinet of President Coolidge and a notable assemblage of educators he was formally inducted into office as the eleventh president of Howard University. The presentation of the symbols of university authority—the charter, seal and keys of the university—was made by Dr. Jesse E. Moorland representing the board of trustees. The speech of acceptance of the symbols was short and simple. "I accept these symbols of office," he said, "and with them I accept all responsibility that goes with the presidency of Howard University. "I promise to devote my utmost powers to the preservation and further development of this institution handed down to us by our noble predecessors, and since I know that no man under such heavy responsibilities is capable within himself alone, I do now invoke the cooperation of all men of good-will everywhere, and I further invoke the blessings of Almighty God." A trumpet fanfare welcomed the new president. Welcome addresses were delivered by Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior; Dean Edward A. Balloch of the school of religion, on behalf of the faculties of the university, and by Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, on behalf of sister institutions of learning. Address is Masterpiece The inaugural address of Dr. Johnson was a masterpiece. It came as the climax to the most brilliant and colorful commencement exercises perhaps that have ever been held at Howard University. (Continued on page 9) ADDRESS OF AI JOHNSON MASTERPIECE NO GROUND FOR PEONAGE CHARGE WRITER FINDS A report which was recently carried by a large number of papers that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had discovered a case of peonage in Washington was unfounded according to an investigation into the facts by a Tribune reporter. The case of an 18-year-old colored boy who for the past eight years has been in the custody of A. J. Buck, white, of 832 Rittenhouse street, northwest, was reported to the Mother's Civic Protective Union. The ladies took the case, and believing it to be one of peonage asked the aid of Mr. Neval Thomas in prosecuting the man. Mr. Thomas demanded the release of the boy under threat of putting the police power of the city on the case, he then reported it to the newspapers. The Tribune investigated and found that there were no grounds for a peonage charge, hence the story did not appear in this paper. In an interview with the boy the reporter was told that the Buck family had housed, clothed and fed him since his departure, in 1919, from his home in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Action Justified According to Archie, he has been well fed, well dressed, nicely treated, and comfortably lodged during his eight years of life in the white man's home. It is true that Mrs. Buck has taken his VALIDITY OF MRS. PARKER'S WILL ATTACTED The validity of the will of Mary Parker, May 14, is attacked in a caveat filed by Margaret Ellen Byrd, her cousin, and Ella Parker, a niece, on behalf of themselves and Alice Parker Banks, Margaret P. Brooks and Bessie Walton Simpson, nieces, and Thomas Parker, nephew. The petitioners alleged that at the time of the making of the will Mrs. Parker was incapable of making a valid will. They also charge the exercise of undue influence by someone in the making of the will. Attorney Charles E. Robinson represents the petitioners.

FACES PROBLEM MATERNITY RUN LATION; 3 RESIG BOARD FACES PROBLEM OF MATERNITY RULE VIOLATION; 3 RESIGN Another problem confronts the board of education of the District of Columbia. It is whether a violation of the maternity leave rule may be construed as pedagogical inefficiency, for which teachers may be dismissed without trial by the board upon the recommendation of the superintendent of schools. A resolution declaring that it is the sense of the board that a violation of any rule of the board governing the conduct of teachers "in relation to their classroom efficiency comes under the category of pedagogical inefficiency" was offered at the meeting of the board at Franklin school last Wednesday afternoon. Action on it was deferred until after the members of the board have had an opportunity to study the question. This question arose in connection with the cases of Mrs. Edith M. Claytor, Mrs. F. S. McLendon and Mrs. G. T. Watson. They are charged with violating the maternity leave rule. Their applications for reinstatement were denied by the school officials. Authority Challenged Mrs. Claytor retained the law firm of Houston and Houston, who submitted an elaborate brief challenging the authority of Superintendent Frank W Ballou and First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson to deny her reinstalment. Attorneys Houston and Houston contend that their client is entitled to reinstalment as a matter of course, that refusal to reinstate her is equivalent to dismissal, and before she can be dismissed she must be given a trial in accordance with the rules of the board of education. They also deny that Mrs. Claytor violated the maternity leave rule and submit an affidavit supporting their deniel from Dr. S. L. Carson. The personnel committee of the board of education reported that Mrs. Claytor, Mrs. McLendon and (Continued on page 6) --- --- ELA —Photo by Scurlock rer; and Attorney James C. naugural address. S PROBLEM NITY RULE 3 RESIGN ANNIE M. MALONE MAKES ADDRESS IN WASHINGTON Mrs. Annie M. Malone, who recently emerged victorious from the legal entanglements which her divorced husband, Aaron E., attempted to enmesh around her, was in Washington Friday and Saturday. With her was a girls' orchestra, made up of employees of Poro College. Mrs. Malone is making a good-will tour of the East, and while in Washington she was presented to the public by the Poro Club of Washington, at the John Wesley Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, northwest. At the meeting, pictures illustrating the works, plant, employees and personnel of Poro College were given their premier showing. The program included an organ prelude, invocation, a solo by Frank Johnson, selection by the orchestra, introductory by Mrs. L. Langhorn, address by Mrs. Malone, solo by Miss Ruth Miner of St. Louis, reading by Mrs. Banks, and a selection by the orchestra. On Saturday, Mrs. Malone took the girls, who make up the orchestra on a sight-seeing tour of the city. They also attended the commencement exercises of Howard University. Just prior to coming here, Mrs. Malone had sent a check for $5000 to the Medical Endowment fund, completing her pledge of $10,000. The group went from here to Boston, from where they went to Philadelphia, and then returned to headquarters in St. Louis. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1667. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS FINLEY WILSON CHANGES FROM NEW YORK CITY FINLEY WILSON CHANGES FROM NEW YORK CITY The twenty-eighth annual grand lodge session of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, August 23 to 27. The decision to change the place of meeting from New York City was made Thursday in a conference of prominent Elks with J. Finliney Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler. Immediately after the conference Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson declared that he had "no apologies to make in changing the place of meeting and returning to Cleveland. I place the good of the order and the interests of the loyal antered herd above the selfish interests of myself and my friends, and I would rather relinquish the office of Grand Exalted Ruler than to subject the order and its membership to the infringement of the laws of New York state and the mandates of its courts." The official proclamation of the Grand Exalted Ruler changing the meeting place was issued Friday. This will be the second consecutive meeting of the grand lodge in Cleveland. It met there last year. New York City was selected as the next meeting place by the Elks convention in Cleveland, Ohio, August 27, 1926, receiving 270 votes. Detroit, the runner-up for the next place of meeting received 231 votes. Under the law the Grand Exalted Ruler "with the consent of a majority of the Board of Trustees, may, in case of an emergency or NEVAL THOMAS TO MAKE SPEECHES IN BOSTON NEVAL THOMAS TO MAKE SPEECHES IN BOSTON Professor Neval H. Thomas, president of the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and member of its board of directors left Wednesday evening on the Federal Express bound for Boston, Massachusetts. He is scheduled to make two speeches in that vicinity. On Thursday evening Professor Thomas will be the principal speaker at Faneuil Hall, Boston, where under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League he will deliver an oration in an effort to show "Segregation is war against democracy." Friday Professor Thomas will be the orator of the day at Bunker Hill. His subject will be "what Bunker Hill and Peter Salem should mean to America." The occasion Friday will be in commemoration of the one hundred and fifty-second anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill and the heroism of the Negro patriot Peter Salem. In addition there will be a large parade and the placing of a wreath upon the grave of Crispus Attucks. FIRE DAMAGES HOLLAND'S REAL ESTATE OFFICE A fire of unknown origin practically destroyed the old files of J. F. Holland, prominent real estate dealer, at 1901 Seventh street, northwest, about 1 o'clock Thursday day morning. Only a small par of the outer office was damaged. Just how the fire started is a mystery. The door, leading to the corridor, was locked, and the glass had to be broken in order to reach the blaze. No one was inside at the time. The alarm was sent in by tenants of the building who were on the third floor at the time. Mr. Holland was notified at his home. Fearing the fire was in his inner office, he rushed to the building, but found that none of his present files were in danger. The offices of Dr. M. O. Dumas and Dr. W. S. Savoy are in the same suite, but neither of these two offices were damaged. Though the financial loss was not great, Mr. Holland claims that the loss of his old reference files may be keenly felt. Liberal Progressive Independent Peonage, or the system of in voluntary servitude, by which persons are restrained of their liberty, and forced to labor for the payment of debt, is still practiced in the United States. The victims of the system, are for the most part Negroes. Now and then a case is discovered where an ignorant foreigner, or native white persons is subjected to the system. Recently there was a trial in the United States district court for the Northern District of Georgia, at Athens, the seat of the University of Georgia, for the practice of peonage by one King in Oglethorpe County of that state. Although more than forty witnesses gave testimony against King, and although on the witness stand he admitted under cross-examination that he had whipped Negro laborers on his plantation, the jury, composed it is said of business men, acquitted him. This looks like another miscarriage of justice and an indictment of the jury system. People whose confidence in the uprightness and integrity of the judiciary is unshaken, are losing faith in the jury system. Nowadays juries do little more than reflect the prejudices of the vicinage. A prejudice is usually stronger than an oath and the law. Oglethorpe County, Georgia, the place where the recent charge of peonage was laid, has for years had the worst sort of reputation for the practice of peonage and the general oppression of Negroes. The richest man in the county, who died some time ago, was reputed to have persistently kept his Negro laborers in stockades at night under guard of white men armed with shot guns, while he maintained a hare stocked with commonly Negro girls in an abundance which might have provoked the envy of the Sultan of Turkey before the days of Kemal Pasha. In the lapse of the years Oglethorpe County has made no progress in humanity, justice and civilization. In any civilized, Christian country in the world, except the United States, the fact that persons not convicted of crime, could be held in servitude and whipped would cause a scream of protest to echo from border to border. Our daily papers carry columns of news and comment on the execution of traitors and spies by Soviet Russia, while they contain the meagerest and most perfunctory accounts of the peonage practices and lynchings in the United States. Great and powerful and economically wealthy as this government is, it should set its hand to the task of protecting life and property and liberty within its own borders before it enters upon the task of doing these things in Haiti, Mexico and Nicaragua. HOWARD UNIVERSITY The inaugural address of Mordecai W. Johnson as president of Howard University has been received in all quarters with the greatest expressions of satisfaction. Taken in connection with his alumni address, it constitutes a statement of guiding principles which are absolutely and unqualifiedly sound. Dr. Johnson in his first year at Howard has established himself in the confidence and trust of all our people. He has the good will and best wishes for a long and fruitful administration, of all honest-minded men of sound understanding. He is beyond all doubt an able, clear-thinking and sincere man. It is entirely proper at this time to take a look ahead. Howard University has an alumni constituency that is probably as great, if not greater than the sum total of alumni constituencies of all other institutions for the advanced education of the Negro. It is said that there are some seven thousand Howard alumni in the country. This should mean a great financial asset. It is entirely within the range of reasonable achievement for the alumni of Howard University to add one million dollars to the permanent endowment of their alma mater within the next five years by contributions from their own personal resources. The great need of Howard University is a permanent endowment of not less than five million dollars. The president of Howard University should not be annoyed by "place hunters," and persons having "axes to grind," in the form of Washington Tribune Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. $20 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1657 Entered as second-West market July 6, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 3, 1879 Subscription Rate: One Year, $2.50; Six Months, $1.25.

All the trouble at the university in the sixty years of its existence has originated in matters of this kind. If Dr. Johnson is to have serious trouble in the near or distant future, it will spring up among those having the spoils- man's cast and frame of mind. If there is to be trouble about the congressional appropriation, this same sort of people will be at the bottom of it. It is well, therefore, in the very beginning to take these things into account. There is a duty incum- ment not only on the administration of the university to carry the work of education forward and upward, but a like duty is incumbent on the alumni and friends of the university to create an atmosphere favorable to this end. The great essentials to be struggled for are adequate plant, ample endowment, efficient administration and learned, creative and able scholarship. It will be necessary to eliminate non-essentials and keep these principal aims constantly in view.

He was one of the most distinguished colored composers and one of the best known modern composers. He was a son of a doctor of medicine, a native of Sierra Leone, Africa, and an English mother. At the age of six (in 1881) he began the study of the violin. At sixteen he entered the Royal College of Music and became a pupil of Villera Stanford. His many opus numbers included a symphony, a sonnet and various other works of chamber music, a cantata with Hiawatha for its epic hero, an oratorio, the musical settings of Stephen Phillips' "Herod," "Ulysses" and "Nero." Coleridge-Taylor's compositions are marked by variety and vigorous originality, by tenderness of feeling and by poetic imagination. They have something of the plaintive, wistful quality of plantation song. His best and his most popular scores are those written for the chorus, and it is by the Hiawatha trilogy that he is best known and will be longest remembered. It was through this production that he gained distinction and popularity on both sides of the Atlantic. Critical opinion agrees in regarding it as his masterpiece. His last choral work, "A Tale of Old Japan," was an unprecedented success. It is esteemed almost as much as the Hiawatha triology. For biography see W. C.

Attention to Every Detail AN ODD TRIANGLE "It is you, Mathilde, it is you and only you that I love. I beg you, make Tracy my daughter in truth—by by becoming my wife." FAUSTINA TOMASI FIFTH INSTALLMENT Such, then, had been the developments of the past eleven years. During vacation time the young school teacher had visited her mother in Washington, but rather hurriedly and briefly, because hitherto she had attended summer school during each July and August. Never had the two women come to any understanding of each other. Mathilde was tender, Tracy more or less respectful. The girl said queer, cryptic things to her poor mother, for example: "Mom, don't you know when I'm in this funny little old LeDetroit Park house with you, I always feel I've reverted to the Mauve Decade!" They talked of things that didn't matter at all. The things that did matter immensely they quite ignored. As Mathilde observed this strange fruit of her loins she thought of Milton's words—"So buxom, blithe, and debonair" but realized that Tracy wasn't buxom in the sense of plump, for she had an entirely boyish figure! The mother avoided everything that the young lady might deem inquisitorial, although the mother heart was disturbed; but, then young people nowadays are —. And Tr. y was highly uncommunicative. These superficial contacts during vacation time were sterile of any good result. They left Mathilde bewildered. But Tracy was magnificently nonchalant. Now at last, however the girl had spoken—or rather, written to her mother out of the depths of her heart. She longed to have Mathilde with her in New York. At last she felt that she needed her mother. Perhaps, there was some real emergency. And Mathilde rushed to the train without coming home when her labors at the Patent Office were ended on the last day before her vacation. Not a moment would she waste. She was afflush with the enthusiasm of her own youth as she hurried to the arms of her daughter. At the vast Pennsylvania Station pink-cheeked Tracy was at the gate, nattily attired, when her mother came through in her simple black dress. And the girl flung herself into the outstretched arms, covering her mother's checks with the eager kisses Mathilde hadn't known for years. "I love you, little mother, and I'm sorry that I've been a naughty, nasty girl. You've been ever so good to me—ever so god." Mathilde did not—could not speak but the tears streamed down her face as they entered the taxicab. Her treasure, her glory, her life had come back to her at last in this most wonderful way. The snappy apartment Mathilde found charming, with its queer green tables and chairs, its etchings—Mekee's gifts, its flowers, its Persian rugs, its boks and magazines scattered everywhere. She drank the ice cold Orange Blossom tea her daughter had prepared for her and ate the brioches with joy. And the delectable Mary she promptly adored. "But, Tracy, why on earth did you bob your hair?" "Well, you see, Mom, long hair belongs to the Early Colonial Period and we're in the second quarter of the Twentieth Century now. With all these pretty women here in New York, I'd never land a husband if I hauled about a wagon load of hair. A girl's just got to look chic. Mom. Look at this dress from Avendon's. I bet Aunt Alice would have an apoplectic fit!" "But, baby-dear, what do you want with a husband? And, darling, remember one lands a salmon—not a husband!" "I'll tell you, Mom, I want one just the same as everybody else. You had yours and I want mine. If truth be told, I'm horribly in love this very minute. It's the first time in my whole life. That's why I need you so." Tracy wants to sit at her mother's feet. "He's a most elegant man. Seems as if he's inherited a fortune from his grandfather, Henry McKeen, one of the pillars of Philadelphia. He's travelled everywhere and knows 'most everything. And honestly, Mom, he's as handsome as a man can possibly be. He's as great and courtly as the Prince of Wales—only lots safer! He doesn't go to see anybody but me. He doesn't dance with anybody else. He just doesn't care for any other girl. And he's not fresh like those spectacled young bucks that Mary likes. He doesn't try to kiss you or anything. And he doesn't talk much. I just have to make the first move myself—for his sake. He's in Chicago now but he'll soon be back. And you'll just love him to death. Mom; now see if you don't." It was a sultry day in August. The afternoon shower had helped but not much. Mary had gone up the Hudson with a party of friends, "not the bunch, though," she explained to Mathilde. Indisposed by the weather, the bewildered visitor remained abed. Tracy was dressing with elaborate care, because a telegram told her that Mr. McKeen would reach New York this morning and call sometime in the afternoon. It was now four o'clock. Buzz, buzz, buzz went the importunate apartment house buzzer. Tracy pressed the button hastily. "O, he's come, Mom, he's come! I just have to give him a good hug. So, you sort of close the door." The farillar footstep and the knock. Tracy opened wide the door. "Hello, Tracy," exclaimed McKeen. "it's might good to see you again. How splendid you look! How're tricks since I've away?' And he held out his great hands to clasp her little ones. She looked into his clear eyes, hesitated a moment, and impetuously threw herself into his arms. He faltered and, then, kissed her forehead with a certain delicacy and tenderness. She turned her red lips to his ardently; a moment and he barely touched them with his lips, released her gently, and sought refuge on the couch, toying with a billowy purple pillow. Tracy sat close beside him, her hand on his arm. "Now, tell me," she said with an air of vivacious proprietorship, an immemorial radiance in her face and eyes, "tell me all about the stockyards of Chicago. Why didn't you let me know where to write? You men are so unimaginative. Why didn't you write me? or call me up on long distance? Did you take my picture with you? What did you do there? Whom did you see? Did you fall in love with a cowgirl? Tell me every single thing and don't prevaricate." "Ha, ha," he laughed heartily. "Well, I transacted my business as quickly as I could, submitted my teeth to the tender ministrations of Dr. Benly. looked over some properties that my grandfather left me, consulted President Binga, met one or two other friends." —attended a dreary hearing in court, and came back soberly to New York. So far as seeing girls and falling in love and that sort of caper, I'm too old now, you know. There were," he added in graver tone, "two or three unhappy marriages in my own family, and I've seen others at rather close range. No marriage for your Uncle Henry! I'm too set in my ways and, perhans, I prize my freedom too much." "O. Henry!' Tracy cried in a sudden frenzy. "but, you know I love you madly. you know I love you. How can you—talk like that?" "What I say is most true," he answered with severity. "But, don't you love me? Aren't you going to marry me?—O. Henry, this will kill me—kill me. You have deceived me, deluded me!" With profound embarrassment he arose, but dared not leave as he saw the girl crumple up on the couch with a shriek. Malilde flung open the bedroom door and came into the living room distraught—her hair, flecked with silver, scattered over her shoulder, and her fine strong face deeply imprinted with the lines that sorrow and loneliness had chiselled there. She went to Tracy, taking her head upon her lap. And then, she looked straight as a tireless at the man standing there. He did not move. "What! she exclaimed, "is it you? George Rawinson?—you? How dare you masquerade here under an assumed name? Have you not brought me sorrow enough?" "Mathilde," he answered with a gentleness in which there was no bitterness and no flurry. "I am as fond of Tracy as if she were my own child. Not one syllable of nonsense have ever spoken to her. My new name was willing to me THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JUNE 17, 1927 "RACE PROGRESS ALDED BY MUSIC" "The jewsharp, the harmonies the accordion, the banjo, the guitar, the flute and the fiddle are the instruments upon which has been built the wonderful musical structure of the American Negro. This week is being observed as Music Week. It has peculiar significance to the millions of colored people who are frequently referred to as the soul of American music. "The race has done exceptionally well with instruments but at no time has the purely instrumental side of the race's development taken rank with its ability in vocal efforts. It is as singers that colored folks have made and held an enviable position in the realm of music. "Reference is made to the primitive musical instruments upon which our advance structure in that art is built because we are fast getting away from the inspiration of spirituals—the bedrock of our status in music which was derived largely from evensong musings accompanied by their music. "Few of the present generation know what a jewsharp is. Certainly few know what wonderfully sweet music may be made when that tiny metal instrument is in the mouth of one who loves his harp. The same may be said of the other old-time instruments now largely discarded except by minstrels. The older ones of us who are familiar with the habits and scenes of plantation life, will never have erased from our memories the social events that were carried to the highest esthetic plane through the talent of musicians born to the manner of jewsharps, harmonicas accordions, banjos and the like. "When Dunbar wrote 'When Malindi Sings' he must have been together with a fortune by an eccentric grandfather. My only fault is that I never made enquiry of you or let your daughter dream of any friendship between us. But, that was because I feared she would hate me and because you had routed and dismissed and humiliated me—utterly. "But," he added with extraordinary fervor, advancing toward her, "it is you, Mathilde, it is you and only you that i love. I beg you, make Tracy by daughter in truth—by—by becoming my wife."

MUSIC FORUM By Wellington Adams THE END A under the inspiration of some of the original backwoods singers who had never heard of a conservatory of music or a means of voice culture. There was no affectation, no vanity, no commercialism and no thought of rivalry in Malindy's singing. It was pure, unadulterated soul spontaneity spurred on by infinite love and the tenderness of innocence and poverty. "We turn away from such highflung art as that of Chopin, Leybach, Beethoven and others of that far away significance to black folk for the more appealing, more relative, more inspiring and better understood works of Harry Burleigh, Nathaniel Dett, J Rosamond Johnson—a Jacksonville product, and others who have been able to interpret accurately the musical life of a race whose strongest appeal to the world has been through its song and its perfect use of the primitive instruments. "In all our soaring in realms musical, better not imitate or follow a foreign role. It is the highest wisdom to fully develop and capitalize that with which nature has graciously blessed us and for which alone the world gives us credit—our own folksong."—John Henry Adams, editor colored people's column in the Jacksonville, (Fla.) Journal of May 6, 1927. THE CHOIR—AN ETERNAL CHURCH PROBLEM A church communicant a few days since beseeched our interest on behalf of securing a competent note-reader as choir director, and, since this eternal choir problem is ever and anon bobbing up like a corkstopper on the waves we will attack it both assidiously and energetically without gloves, as it were. Meantime our direct interest solely rests in the uplift of church choirs as a whole. Now for some plain talk about the choir and director, the organist if you please including church officials as our personal experience verifies. The choir possibly is one of the most sensitive subordinate groups, yet it is one of the most necessary adjuncts of the church, particularly in the service of worship. We have found it in some cases a pleasant association and again a very undesirable association at times. In this city we have had various experiences in trying to upbuild choirs when at the same time there were underlying corrupt forces at work to disrupt every good effort that had a tendency to lead to success. These forces were covered up under either official or "big" member disguises having certain influence with some particular offi- MADAME HARRISON-ASTOR cial, officials or leading church members. This fact was evident during our directorship administration at two Baptist churches. The consequence was like trying to build the tower of Babel with its confusing languages as in Biblical scripture, culminating in part a failure or totally so. We discovered in both cases that unless the director held a rabbit-foot over the head of certain official: as the other side did, there was little chance of every making any kind of success. Consequently we have reached the conclusion after years of such service that ability counts far less with most church folks than does the link of supposed "friendship." Friendship vs. Ability Friendship vs. Ability In other words friendship gets one a job, keeps it for him and also kicks him out of the job. Efficiency in most places counts for naught so long as one is able to maintain friendly relations among his sponsors. While we admit that friendly influences always has some effect still we question if it is always logical to place friendship above that of ability or efficiency. Suppose Christ had placed friendship over and above that of service to mankind the day he drove those traders out of the temple? Not so, however, as the whip flew in all directions in his wrath to cleanse the place on that day. When our churches learn to place a premium upon ability to give service in high places as well as low, instead of attaching so much significance upon so many props of personal friendship, on that day will dawn a new freedom from conventionalities and traditions which is a almost disrupting the churches of today and driving the ungodly away from their threshold. When an incompetent director, organist or member is desired to be demoted or removed every force of friendship is aroused to keep such a one secured instead of inquiring into their capability to perform a given service. But there is where merit dies an ignoble death and false pride is enthroned later, however, to sink into oblivion. The Choir Director The position carries with it complete authority as head who prepares for and conducts the performances thereof; should be a Christian and respect the opinions of others; show an interest in the public service in all its parts; endeavor to cultivate friendly relations with his clergy. The skillful director knows his subject and how to present it. He should know the literature of the art of singing, and as well, the laestest works on applied psychology. He cannot know too much of music generally, and of church music in particular. Harmony, counterpoint, musical form, composition, and the history of music claim his attention as well as being competent as a note-reader; possess a knowledge of the pitches, and the time, with attention to variation of power; he should understand the human voice and how to develop and cultivate its powers. Very few directors understand rhythmic beating or correct use of the baton. If there is doubt on this point notice your choir director next time. Some beat their time with a figity motion at every sound of tone almost with no regard to the oulses and their subdivisions. His actions in time-beating should be graceful and as unobtrusive as possible. Stamping the foot, or rapping upon the music stand, and other noises should be avoided. The point of chief importance in time beating is that the baton shall clearly and decisively indicate the primary accent. If a director does not measure up to the standard of the church he's serving, either pay sufficient salary to enable him to gain further study or secure a more competent leader and be done with the matter. The Choir Interpretation of words and music is important. The choir should be given that to do which they can do with ease and satisfaction, and occasionally a little of that which calls for special effort. Purity of intonation is indispensable to good singing. Singing flat often results from trying to sing too "big," and singing sharp gen- July 4th Are You in Trouble?

Main 6328 erally is a result of either forcing tones, nervousness or bad instruction. Special stress should be laid upon pronunciation, enunciation and articulation. Far too few soloists and choirs are competent in these requisites. Happy is the choir whose singers are all music readers but alas, here again is a snag in the average church choir and many of them won't spend a penny to improve their singing qualifications. What are we going to do about it? Keep them with their inefficiency, urge study as a weapon of dismissal, or drop them outright? We are afraid to do any but the first mentioned. A large proportion of most choirs are inefficient in music reading, voice formation and tonal color, and we presume that they will go on forever in the same old rut. All choirs possess some recalcitrant members, some who will offend against even simple reasonable rules. With some it is to rule or ruin, but such irreconcilables are best if gotten rid of if they cannot cultivate a spirit of altruism. Regularity and punctuality are of prime importance to a really good choir, and those who frequently remain away unless for very reasonable causes should not be allowed regular membership until they can properly attend. Another thing that we have never understood is why do so few attend their regular evening service and almost crowd out the morning service? Do they join to sing only in certain services or all of them? If theaters, motor cars, socializing and visiting are greater attractions than the church in the evening while Sunday morning frivolities are limited, would it not be better altogether to stay out of the choirloft and give place to those who possess possibly more spiritual inheritance than the part-time saint? Think over it and be guided accordingly. If your answer is "the church is too dull" then go and make it sharr. Possibly this position deserves less comment for the reason that most organists are faithful and dutiful while just a few may be what we might call a little touchy or uncontrollable. Their services are indispensable and are generally worthy of their hire. PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION RE-ORGANIZED AT CLEVELAND SCHOOL By Clarence W. Toliver By Clarence On last Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. M. T. Latimore, principal of Cleveland School, announced to a group of parents and teachers assembled at her request for the purpose of reorganizing the Parent-Teacher Association, that no school is any stronger than its Parent-Teacher Association, she was simply saying that the teaching staff of her school very vitally needed the support and interest of parents in the education of their children and in things pertaining thereto. The many disadvantages under which the teachers are working were disclosed during the meeting. Many of them are of such nature that by the co-operation of teach- Annual Musicale by the pupils of Mrs. Eunice Thompson Fantroy, assisted by Mr. Thomas A. Heathman, elocutionist, at John Wesley A.

It is surprising to learn that teachers, in order to procure the best for the children, spend money from their own pockets to purchase material. One teacher reported she had spent as much as forty-nine dollars.

"Why not just something new—untiled—different—not a patent medicine. Write today The Service we offer I should like to ask the question: Is the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. still on the map as an activity in the community? I have made several visits there, and have sat in the reading room (?). I always took my own paper, for there are no daily papers there. There is a long table near the office on which are perhaps a dozen checker boards, which are always in use by a loud, boisterous, noisy crowd, such as might have been seen in pre-saloon days. I took occasion to ask several what wore the activities there. They all said, "only playing checkers, I guess. I never see anything else. In warm weather, we have swimming in the pool." After all the money that has been spent to get that fine building, what does the community get out of it? There used to be a fine bowling alley in the basement. That has gone to decay. From the viewpoint of one who has been about the country a good deal, and noticed the work of other Y. M. C. A.'s, Washington makes a poor showing. No showing at all, in fact. There was a time when various clubs and organizations always held their meetings there. One large meeting room has been cut up into sleeping rooms. This, with the restaurant on the first floor gives the place the appearance of being simply a boarding house. I wonder what the donor of the $25,000, Mr. Rosenwald, would think if he walked in there some morning and saw and heard that rough bunch of checker players, some of them bald-headed men, and the pool tables in the front where there should be nice, easy chairs used as a quiet meeting place for conversation. What a wasted opportunity for good service. AN OBSERVER To the Editor: I am a layman, but I feel called upon to say that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's New York to Paris flight not only depicts the super mind of science in the field of aviation, but it has taught the world that there is nothing impossible with man. I am proud the feat was purely American. Anyhow, it took a big hearted and broad minded man to teach this lesson. But the mere flight does not show the superlative degree of Col. Lindbergh's greatness. There are 58 facets on a perfectly cut diamond. These facets are essential not only to the brilliancy and commercial value of the diamond, but to its intrinsic as well as appreciative value. Col. Charles Lindbergh's rejection of the proposal of certain friends to create a trust fund for him and his mother, and of the 150,000 francs a French lady offered him, that he might buy a cup for himself, are but facets of his diamond of magnanimity. I trust that Col. Lindbergh's self denying liberality in deference to the families of Nungesser and Coll, will be an incentive to our young manhood of today. M. K. KING 1842 Corcoran N.W. I noticed in last week's issue of your paper, that the graduating exercises of the School of Nursing of Freedmen's Hospital was held during the week. Music for this occasion was furnished by an orchestra of the Marine Band. The Marine Band is composed of musicians of the other race. All the graduates are members of the colored race. Why was the Marine Than Not To Have A We must as well admit it—in summer we are the slaves of our slips. For the daintiest orgyd frocks, the most delectable chiffon, Georgette or voile are without charm unless the slip beneath them is exactly right. But though the importance of slips is out of all proportion to their size, yet so is their smart effect great in comparison to their simplicity. Nothing could be easier to make—nor a greater comfort to possess—than this silk slip with its deep shadow-proof hem and its two flat-lying plaits at the side backs. The lace edging may be omitted. (Copyright 2007, by Bustick) To the Editor: Permit me, an humble colored man, a constant and interested reader of your paper, to set forth my views on the married teacher problem, so much discussed by patrons and teachers at this time. I fear there are those who are desirous of aiding a daughter or a friend, who are behind this movement, that in their zeal for advancement, have thrown the essential qualities of greatness to the winds. The writer knows nothing of the percentage of married women teachers in the white schools, nor do I attempt to speak for them—but, if the colored race is to continue to advance, down with this talk of a "ban" on married women in any position where her services are so essentially needed as the moulding of the virtues of true womanhood. The courtly manners of gallant manhood in our young men; the conduct of young Lindberg, while being showered with praise for his intrepid nerve and tenacity, his courtly bearing in all this has won for him the admiration of the greatest minds of the world. To whom should he give credit? We do not wish to detract from the credit so manifestly due to Ambassador Herrick, for tutoring Lindberg, in the ways of royalty and social customs in vogue in Europe, but note the self effacement from ostentation at his first utterance when landing in Paris. If the minds of real thoughtful citizens do not reflect, that all this came to him through that mother, a school teacher, if you please, is to try and render "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out. Where in all America, can there be found, one who can put into the young minds more forebly, the essentials of decency, good civil moral conduct, than a woman who is herself married, and trying to raise a family? No one is more capable of teaching moral restraint than she, and it should not be lost sight of, that education is not all a race needs to be true lofty citizens, when it is considered that, seven-tenths of our race must work daily for a livelihood, and largely for others. The parent leaves home early, leaves little ones to get ready for school, no one to train them in the essentials of character or citizenship but the teacher—then pray tell me who is more capable than a woman who herself has children, without casting any reflection upon those unmarried. The operations of our schools by them should be to encourage all our teachers to get married. Shall our young women who are teachers become prostitutes in order to hold their places in our schools? When we advise a system to bar all married women, then we will set in a system of espionage, more devilish and tyrannical than is practised by the Sultan of Turkey. No teacher will be immune from the vicious darts of the pen of those less informed, or who envy those who may succeed in getting a place in our school system. Again, it would seem, the married teacher would, out of pride, ask to be relieved four THE STORY OF W "AN OD By Roscoe Conk THE STORY OF WASHINGTON YOU'LL ENJOY READING "AN ODD TRIANGLE" The Graceful Way FRANCES has just selected two books, but she is seriously considering putting them back on the shelf—for why should one stay indoors reading when one wears such a pretty new frock? It is of smart navy blue crepe de Chine with the bands that edge the collar and cuffs made in a bright green shade of the same material to match those nine little buttons, a favorite color combination among French dressmakers. Other materials, such as light weight wools, silk or cotton broadcloth or linen in lighter shades are of course more suitable for daily school or sport wear.

Band's Orchestra employed in preference to The Washington Civic Concert Orchestra; or the Community Civic Centers Band, two organizations composed of men of color? Did the presence of these white musicians add to the value of the graduates' diplomas? Will these graduates be allowed to nurse in the white hospitals side by side with the whites because the "Marine Band's Orchestra" played when they graduated? Are we satisfied to progress along one line and retrograde along another? Only a short while ago Howard University the greatest center of learning for persons of color in this country was without a president due to the resignation of Dr. Durkee, white. The alumni, civic organizations, the student body and in men in walks of life, joined hands in demanding a man of Negro blood as president of an institution for the training of Negro youth. This demand was granted. This was a step forward. . . . Have we any efficient musical organizations? What about the Washington Civic Concert Orchestra under the leadership of Professor Wesley Howard and the Community Civic Centers Band, under the leadership of Professor James E. Miller? Professor Howard needs no introduction. His work as a musician is known from coast to coast and even across the seas. The Washington Civic Concert Orchestra showed its musical skill in accompanying the S. Coleridge-Taylor Society in its rendition of "Hiawatha." The Community Civic Centers Band under the leadership of Professor James E. Miller has rendered valuable service in this community. This band has played concerts in the public parks for seven years. They have accompanied the American Legion to Arlington on Memorial Day for five years; they have played at a fair held at the Sacred Heart Church and concerts at Walter Reed and the Tuberculosis Hospitals and the Distict jail. This band gave a concert for the student body of Howard University a few years ago, played for graduation of Dunbar High School last year and are engaged to render services at the Dunbar and Miner Normal Schools graduating exercises this year. Can we as musicians compete favorably with the whites? Did the Marine Band Orchestra furnish its services free? Was Professor Howard or Professor Miller asked to donate the services of their respective organizations? No! We are repeatedly criticized for not having a concert orchestra or band, but how can we keep and maintain one without the hearty co-operation of the learned people of our race? Why give our children a musical education if the very schools which train them employ white musicians in preference to the ones trained, by them? Sincerely yours, JAMES E. MILLER, Director, Community Centers Band. of Growing $U_{p}$ . THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1927 The Square Neck Varies Its Course THE woman with a preference for simple, straight-line frocks need not invariably be led into the paths of the severely tailored. Above is one of the frocks so much in vogue just now, which combines simplicity with femininity, straight line with soft line. This is also an excellent frock for afternoon bridge, as the novel upper part looks very smart when one is seated behind the table. A narrow band of self material edges the neck in an interesting line, and continues through bound slashes in the frock to a looped-up finish that is repeated on the cuffs. Four plaits at the left hip and four inverted tucks at each shoulder give all the necessary fulness to this frock of slim outline. (Copyright, 1927; by Butterick) G.C. WILKINSON ATTENDS OBERLIN·GRADUATION G.C. WILKINSON ATTENDS OBERLIN·GRADUATION Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, left the city Thursday for Oberlin, Ohio, to attend the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the class of 1902 of Oberlin College, of which he was a member. Mr. Wilkinson stated before leaving that he was also impelled to attend the commencement exercises of his alma mater because Dr. Henry Churchill King, president of Oberlin College, is retiring after 50 years' service. For 25 years he has served as college president. Mr. Wilkinson paid him a fine compliment, saying that he is "one of the finest spirits Oberlin College has ever had. He has been most friendly to the race and the colored students who have attended Oberlin College. He has kept the spirit of the founders alive and has repeatedly gone out of his way to see justice accorded to colored students." Mr. Wilkinson was one of four students to graduate in 1902. Two of them are dead The other is Amphias H. Glenn of 941 S street, northwest. EUROPE CRITICISES NEGRO RHYTHMS AND JAZZ The Associated Press of June 11 conveys this report from Frankfurt-Am-Main, Germany: "Three of Europe's outstanding statesmen—Foreign Minister Stresemann of Germany, Minister of Education Herriot of France, and Foreign Minister Vandervevel of Belgium—met here today on a common cultural ground to inaugurate the international exposition of 'music in the life of nations.' "Dr. Streseman, who opened the exposition at which the musical art of 17 centuries was represented, criticized adversely jazz and the Negro rhythms He decried the present day 'dead leveling of music' and regretted the modern saxophonic cacophony and 'pleaded for a reawakening of spirituality in music. The exposition will last until August 28." months before maternity, to ward off criticism of those who see nothing useful in the lives of others. Again not all single women like children. Can a woman who herself dislikes children be kind and considerate of the feelings of the little tot who by its own environment and contact is backward? By all means let proficiency and conduct be the standard, and not pull. Not until then will our school system be what it should. We have lost much and stand to continue to lose by the sycophant who effaces himself to hold his job. Give us manhood and womanhood in our schools, those who are proud of the race and its advance. W.

But many a summer girl rushes to business six mornings a week, or at least runs to town for a day's shopping, or goes off travelling. Then she looks about for something suitably simple yet comfortably cool, some frock smart for occasional summer wear and also for steady use all fall and winter. Such is this attractive one-piece frock of silk or light weight wool, with collar, cuffs and modish bows to contrast or harmonize. Inverted tucks or shirring at the shoulders give easy fulness, while three inserted plaits across the front give the skirt width. The frock blouses smartly above the snug belt.

Graduates from all parts of the country attended. It was decided by the alumni to place a bust of the late George E. Cannon, who was for many years the president of the Alumni Association in the rotunda of the new science hall. Dr. William H. Johnson, newly elected president of Lincoln was present and introduced Dean McClannahan, of Princeton, who is a member of the trustee board of Lincoln. Dean McClanahan outlined the plans formulated by the board of trustees for the drive for $250,000, which is to be raised in order to meet a gift for the same amount from the Rockefeller Foundation. The Alumni Association has pledged itself to raise $50,000, as its share of the quota. R. P. McRary of Baltimore was made chairman of the drive for the alumni with Dr. W. G. A. Alexander of Orange, as first assistant. Some of those who subscribed to the endowment fund were as follows: Doctors Thomas E Miller, and M. N. Pannell, $400 each; Doctors E. B. Terry, H. F.

FINLEY WILSON CHANGES BOARD FACES PROBLEM ELKS' MEETING PLACE OF MATERNITY RULE (Continued from page 1) extreme necessity, change the time and place of holding the regular annual session.' The laws of the order were amended in Cleveland last August to give him this authority. The grand trustees, Colonel John R. Marshall, Chicago, Illinois; R. E. Pharrow, Atlanta, Ga.; Wayman Wilkerson, Memphis, Tenn.; Edward F. Berry, Chicago, Ill.; and David T. Cardwell, Gary, Ind, met in Chicago, May 13. They instructed Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson to inform Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, chairman of the committee of arrangements for the grand lodge in New York City, that unless the injunction against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World was dissolved by June 15, he would select another city where the session could be legally held. The tructees based their action upon the finding of a committee of lawyers who were appointed to investigate the right of the grand lodge to hold its annual session in New York City. This committee consisted of Judge William H. Harrison, Chicago, Ill.; Charles H. Callaway, Kansas City, Mo.; John Starkks, Philadelphia, Pa., and Thomas Higgins, New York City. This committee found as a conclusion of law that it would be a violation of the laws of New York state and a contempt of court for the grand lodge to hold its annual session in New York city. Injunction Since 1904 The injunction against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World was obtained by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in 1904. 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 black. On appeal to the Court of Appeals of New York state, the injunction was modified by striking out the provision forbidding the use of the title of officers and the colors, but was affirmed so far as it restrained the use of the name. The Grattan Law The injunction was obtained under the so-called Grattan law. This law makes it a misdemeanor for any person to wear or attach to any motor vehicle the badge, insignia, rosette or the button of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States or Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States, or the badge or button of the United Spanish War Veterans, the veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, the American Legion, the Military Order of the World War, or the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, or the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America, or the insignia or emblem of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York, or any society, order or organization of 10 years standing in New York state unless he is entitled to use or wear it under the constitution and by-laws, rules and regulations of such order, society or organization. It is also a misdemeanor to use the name of any such society, order, or organization, the titles of its officers, the forms and designs of its insignia and emblems, or its ritual or ceremonies unless entitled by its constitution and by-laws to do so. It is also a misdemeanor for any person, firm, association, society, order or organization, or any of its officers, agents, representatives or employees to use fraudulently the name of title of any secret fraternal society, association, order or organization which has a grand lodge in New York state for 10 years. The use of any imitation of such name or title so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive is also a misdemeanor. For violation of any of these laws punishment is fixed at imprisonment for not more than 3 years, or a fine of not more than $1,000 for each offense. New York City was chosen as the meeting place of the twenty-eighth annual session of the grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World after invitations had been received by the mayor and other city officials of New York City and permission had been given by the Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks for the convention to be held in that city. Notwithstanding the Grattan law and the induction against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks there are 36 lodges in New York state. SUES FOR DIVORCE SUES FOR DIVORCE Mrs. Alice E. Jackson, 1207 S street, northwest, is suing her husband, Charles E. Jackson, 104 I street, for maintenance for their two children. In her bill of complaint filed last Monday Mrs. Jackson charges that her husband has failed and neglected to provide for his family. She says that several times she has been forced to take their children and leave him because of his failure to provide for them. The couple was married April 21, 1919. Their two children are living with relatives at present, while Mrs. Jackson is working out. (Continued from page 1) Mrs. Watson had failed to comply with the maternity leave rule and are ineligible for reinstatement.

The twelve dollars per week, Archie now earns, has been his earning for the past six weeks, but prior to that time his salary was a8 low as six dollars weekly. In an interview with Mr. Buck the story of the colored lad was corroborated by the white man. He also stated that he had taken out an endowment policy in Archie's name, and that he had done much in an effort to comfort the boy during his stay at the Rittenhouse street address. Has Attended School Archie said that he had been sent to school shortly after his arrival in Wasington, that he had remained in school nearly three years. He was in a fight, he said, and after having been sent home with a note from his teacher he was never sent back. Except for this failure on the part of the white man, the Tribune reporter could observe no reason for serious action against him. It was the writer's view, that a charge of peonage was groundless. ner in a reginaol contest, has been awarded a collegiate scholarship of $250 for each of the four years at the college of his choice. The young lady intends attending Howard for two years after which she will transfer to the Wellesley College for Girls, Wellesley, Mass.

C. L. Pinderhughes, teacher of swimming at the Dunbar High School was quite an athlete during his college days. Mr. Pinder- hughes attended and graduated from” Howard. ‘The Red and Black swimming in- structor appeared on the campus as a candidate for the football team in the fall of 1913 his first year on the hill He made the Squad. From 1914 to 1917 Mr. Pin- derhughes was a varsity backfield man: His final year he was made oe of the team. In 1914-15. and 16, Mr. Pinder- hughes was selected as a back on nearly every Colored All-American eleven worth mentioning. He was rated as a leading halfback in 1914 and 1916 while critics and authori- ties placed him in the fullback po- sition in 1915, He was an outfielder on the Howard varsity squads of 1915 and 1916. During these same years he ‘was quite a cinder path performer. In 1915 Mr. Pinder- hughes was a Blue and White rep- Yesentative in the sprints, hurdles and vaults. He did not ‘yault in 1916. Now let's move up to Lincoln University and back to 1911, Du- vall B. Evans, now director of phy- sical training at Dunbar, began 2 career which carried him through five years as varsity center. He al- so played on his Sophomore and Freshman class elevens, ‘Mr. Evans organized the first basketball and track teams at the Pennsylvania institution. He cap- tained and managed both of these teams. Finishing Lincoln in 1917, Mr. Evans entered Springfield College. Here he became a varsity track man as a two-miler. He played center on the Springfield football team of 1918, as well as on his class team. Mr. Evans was also a member of the Springfield College fencing and wrestling teams, Haley: G. Douglass finished Har- yard in the class of 1905. Mr. Douglass was an oarsman of mer- it He was a member of the Sopho- more Class crew, and the Inter- mediate Weld Crew in 1905. This same year he played class foot- ball and ran on the class track team. He was assigned to the varsity eleven for the fall of 1906 but did not return to Harvard. ARMSTRONG MAKES GOOD ON DIAMOND A team composed principally of green and untried material which reported to Coach Adams at the beginning of the training season proved the surprise of the year. Johnson and Andrews around the keystone sack, Scott at the hot corner, and Bogan at first make up one of the strongest infields in city high school circies. The large number of double plays started from all corners of the inner works bears this out. All are reliable with the stick, Scott with an aver- age of 202 is the only infielder who did not hit well over the .300 mark. Dabney in left, J. Davis in right, and Perry and Graham alternating in center can travel in any direc- tion to make hard chances look easy. Only Graham failed to hit far above the .300 class. Capt. Hutchinson and Robinson assisted by Twyman and DeBose have done the backstopping. De- Bose with a bating average of over 800 and Hutch with .300 have con- tributed in no small measure to the offensive punch of the team: Lynn, Campbell, and Levi have pitched the team to ten victories out of the thirteen games played. Lynn has six wins and no set-backs Both Campbell and Levi have ree- ords of 667 each. — In all probability Andrews, J. Davis and Levi are the only ones who will be missing when candi- dates report next spring. ‘Armstrong plays .769 ball during thirteen games. i ‘Season's Scores Miner No. 14, Tech 8 Tech 5, Shaw 4 Tech 10, Sandlotters 6 Tech 15, Manassas 10 ee A.

E. Mor- rison of this city would no. doubt be selected as Head Coach and Director of Athletics at the. Chester ‘County institution to succeed the late U. S. Young. Jt was also pointed out that, the Lions are to play through their enire football schedule next fall without a single home game, This action, coming on the heels of the launching of a $250,000 drive by the Chester County au- thorities, is believed to be, in a measure, one of economy, Having reentered the C.LA.A. and having been allowed a pro- vision for games with teams out- side the association the Orange & Blue squad faces one of the tough- est and most interesting schedules in tke history of the school. From her opening game with North Car- olina Agricultural and Technical Institute to her annual Turkey Day battle with Howard the Penn- sylvania institution’s grid warriors are in for tough sailing. Following is the news release, as it was received by this paper: ‘The Release LINCOLN UNIV. Pa.—At a meeting of the Athletic Council of Lincoln University held here- on last Tuesday the action of the spe- cial committee appointed to select a coach and athletic director for the university was confirmed, and Dr. W. E. Morrison, formerly coach and assistant athletic director at Howard University was formally chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the death of U. S. Young, Jr. Dr. Morrison will move to Lin- coln sometime in August and will be ready to assume complete con- trol of all athletics and_ physical education activities when the school opens ins September. . ‘The council approved the action of the committee appointed to ne- gotiate with officials of the C.l. A.A. By this action Lincoln again becomes a member of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion, and will resume athletic re- lations with all of the teams in that group. The football schedule as adopted calls for games with the following schools: A and T College, North Carolina; Union, Richmond, Va.; Shaw, Raleigh, N.C.: Virginia Sem- inary, Lynchbure.

With Tripp, gen- erally accepted as one of the city’s best southpaws, the colored team is in for a tough go. Fee Collier, ex-Gonzaga star will no doubt be on the receiving end, while the hard hitting Buddy Nolan also a former Gonzagan and now a Georgetown star will eavort im the outer gar- den.

A constant barrage was kept up off his offerings ‘The second game presented a battle between the freak delivery artists—Cockrell for the Daisies and Strong for the Taylorites.

THE REFLECTOR ‘The organization of a Sports Writers Association is perhaps at pres- ent the most vital need of colored newspapers. Such sn association could provide for the improved covering of athletic events. gain greater prestige for race papers throughout the East, make for bettet sports pages, and secure closer co-operation between promoters and news- Papers. Heretofore, any number of important athletic events have been unsatisfactorily reported. Sports writers, despite the fact that they were desirous of having certain incidents covered creditably, have been handicapped in the past because they were unable themselves to be present or be represented. An eastern sports yrriterg association would go far toward remedying this situation and would make for greatly improved sports pages. With such an association organized and functioning, some one or more writers could witness the im- portant sporting events in the Eastern territory, and make a story of it, mimeograph a number of copies and mail one to cach member paper. Releases written by participants in the events or the promoters them- selves should be done away with. At present every sports editor in the country is appreciative of any effort a school or college might make to acquaint him with the various “big games” in which they participate, but in most cases these releases are colared—even though not intentionally—to favor the source from which they come. There have been cases where a release coming from some of our leading colleges has been so written as almost to give the impression that the school’s team was the only one playing. An organization such as a’ sports writers association would serve to have these events covered from a neutral angle. : Closer contact with activities in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the American Collegiate Athletic Association could be afforded with the organization of an eastern sports writers associa “PaULLEN oe syou}WU YoNS vay saoNSNful won 298) “8 payeauadues sof sayrunzioddo (g) pu ‘s\UoAe SNOLaTA oy) 38 TION -vpouutoooe ssaid Jayjeq puuwep 0} Azrunjzoddo oy (Z) ‘eymepuodser 7ioa Pie suoape syrods useaseq soxjuoe Suamosq esuy (t) 2Rse ago Pino uoHwz{UEZI0 UL Yons ay) ‘s]yeueq zayj0 snoraunt 243 Buowy “sel[fep ey} JO Juepuadapur szuNoIIe eywansIe Pu [UMTBr0 gNo puas pus puby uo oq pnod ‘paulpjno eauy | su Se me yons Jo earuquasaider oy} ‘aiqissod sv sjoyvanoo" sv pte Ajajajdwoo se ByUeAD PeXIUE asaq]} Jo SJUNOIIe ayy azLIM 07 a[GE oq 07 sv os Sxodud ano} Jo aeayy ul Sysodax ayy sptar auo quasaad yw swaxoy A, ‘M1035 KIM JO} sistq T YSiIqu}s9 0 syUF Joy siodudsmou A[rep oyTyA yy WO POF paodog aq tajz0daa @ Pinos daZuo] ON “AovANDOW PUL esa 197BIIT INI pajpuvy oq Pinos ‘azedjoyjsed svcaZeNy oreym syuoAe Suysods pexty\ ramoDseA0 AjaBaw] oq pynom sud “pu osax pu yeryndt aq pinow syyoteg aun woratinfuod Up MUO.

GIRLS INTERCLASS BASE- BALL AT DUNBAR i The Junior Class Girls Baseball Team won the interclass series which was staged by the Depart- ment of Physical Education at Dunbar High School this week. Plenty of fun, more than any- thing else, was gotten out of the series. The scores indicate that either very little or very much baseball was played by the partici- pants. In_the preliminaries the Junior and Freshman teams met each oth- er while the Seniors and Sopho- mores battled. The third year team defeated the Freshies and the un- dergrads went down before the Second year co-eds.

BIG MID-NIGHT RAMBLE, FRIDAY 12:15 SHARP "THE TAXI DANCER" PICTURE SENSATION OF THE YEAR AT THE REPUBLIC Hailed as the picture sensation of the year, "The Taxi Dancer" will be shown at the Republic on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 19, 20, 21 and 22. Joan Crawford, Owen Moore and Marc MacDermott head the cast in this marvelous picture. Do you know what a "Taxi Dancer" is? She is a girl of the dance halls who will hire herself to anyone to dance with as so much per dance. Here is the story of a girl who comes from a sleepy little town to conquer Broadway. She thinks she is the world's greatest dancer. But it's a long cry from the stage of a big theatre to the dance halls of the East Side, where she hires herself out to dance. You'll see real jazz-madness, flaming passions and a beauty's strange adventures in love. Let "The Taxi Dancer" whirl you through the maze of the most sensational picture ever filmed. Did you read the story? Now see the picture! Joan Grawford reached the heights of stardom in "The Taxi Dancer." You'll never regret seeing it. "Upstream," a Wm Fox picture with Earle Foxe, Nancy Nash and Raymond Hitchcock, will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, June 23 and 24. Throbbing with the magic of the theatre, here's a film that will linger pleasantly in your memory for months to come. For it contains the kind of drama that provides perfect entertainment. "Upstream" is a real romance of the roaring river called Life. "Rookies," a training camp story will be the picture attraction for Saturday, June 25. Talent on the stage at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30 "THE YANKEE CLIPPER" AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK On Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, June 19, 20, 21 and 22 the Lincoln Theatre management presents a thrilling page from the most glorious era in American history, in "The Yankee Clipper," in the era of the famous clipper ships when Amer a was engaged in a bitter struggle with the powers of the world for commercial supremacy on the high seas. JUNIOR COGHLAN This was the age when there was romance on the seas, when great ships, looking like white clouds carried the American Flag a. a. American products into every port in the world. There was beauty, romance and glamour in life on the seas in those days. Also there was hard work, hard men and hard living and into this gathering was found a boy, stowaway, on this clipper ship. Then came the greatest of races that of two clipper ships from Boston to China and for the largest stake in history, that on the tea trade of the world to the winner, and around all of this American history Cecil B. DeMille has interwoven one of the sweetest love stories the screen has seen. The principals are William Boyd and Elinor Fair, the star of last season's outstanding success, "The Volga Boatman." In this production will also be seen Junior Coghlan as the boy stowaway. This picture is one which every person old or young should see. The management in order that all the school children might see this spectacle and before seeing it will know just what it is, is giving away at the theatre the story of the play and all those who avail themselves of one of these books will be able to see this production on TAXI Tuesday and Wednesday for 10 cents with the coupon contained in the book. On Thursday and Friday June 23 and 24 will be shown "The Mysterious Rider" with Jack Holt. This is the latest story written by the famous western author Zane Grey and depicts the early struggle of the ranchers in the barren wastes of a California desert. The story also has a tragic element in the hero who is a born leader of men, but who is practically forced into outlawry by the very men he is doing his utmost to help. He wins back their confidence, also the girl he loves, but only after a series of spectacular episodes, during several of which he closely approaches death. In this production there is plenty of suspense a gorgeous natural background of the open West. For Saturday only, June 25, the feature attraction will be "Pals in Paradise" with Marguerite De La Motte and John Bowers in the principal roles. There have been many stories written of gold rushes in the early ages but we have never seen gold rushes made in modern transports by fliver and motor bus. In this production one will see such a modern gold rush and the story is fresh from the pen of the famous author, Peter B. Kyne. Anyone who sees this production will enjoy it as it has comedy, thrills, pathos and dramatic love. In addition to the showing of "Pals in Paradise," there will also be shown the new Universal Chapter play "Whispering Smith Rides" starring Wallace McDonald and J. P. McGowan. On the stage for Saturday there will be seen three big talent shows at 5:00, 7:15 and 9:15. "RUNNIN' WILD" AT THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK Beginning Monday, June 20 the Howard Theatre Management takes great pleasure in presenting "Runnin' Wild." This is the biggest production that has thus far been produced by the popular Irvin C. Miller and is the same show that played the Howard Theatre last summer to capacity houses, this time however, the show brings to the Howard patrons a better cast than before, headed by Galli DeGaston who was such a popular favorite of the "Red Hot Mama" company and is supported by Derby Wilson and Ivin Beamon. These two have created a sensation wherever they have played with their marvelous dancing, there will be seen the following in the sun- EATER MIDDLE COUNTY Sundays and Holidays my, 25c THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1927 porting cast Albert Jackson, Hazel Randolph, Archie Cross, Percy Colston, Alonzo Penderson and a chorus of famous Miller beauties. In addition to the show "Runnin' Wild" for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the management presents Johnny Hines in 'All Aboard'. Last week Mr. Hines as seen as a cub reporter in the hills of Kentucky which was a very pleasing show, but to see him as a desert sheik is something different. All the scenes in "All Aboard" were actually photographed in the Sahara Desert and presents in an amusing manner the tale of a forgetful shoe salesman who takes the job as a tourist guide and lands in Egypt, gets lost in a sandstorm, marries an Egyptian girl and after many interesting battles with the native sheiks beats them at their own game of sword play and finally marries the girl he really loves. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen "The Wrong Mr. Wright" with Jean Hersholt and supported by Enid Bennett, Dorothy Devore and Walter Hiers. This photoplay is taken from the famous stage play by the same name. The plot deals with an old-madish vice-president of a corset manufacturing company who inadvertently falls in love with a modern girl and forgets his years of saving and has the time of his life, much to the disgust of his domineering brother who is the president of the company. When you see the life that the "Wrong Mr. Wright" saw you will probably get a broken rib or something else from over laughing. On Friday night the regular midnight ramble will start at 12:15 sharp with two and one half hours of good entertainment. Tickets are on sale at the box office beginning Saturday of the week before the show. "THE GREAT GATSBY" AT THE BROADWAY For Sunday and Monday the Broadway Theatre will present one of the most thrilling and novel photoplayss of the season in "The Great Gatsby," the outstanding feature being the work of the star Warner Baxter, claimed by critics the best of his motion picture career. You will love him in this one. He is ably supported by Lois Wilson, Neil Hamilton and Georgia Hale. It is a dramatic story of a man whose love, a torturing flame, struggling beyond his depth for the sake of a woman who didn't have the courage to even meet him half way. AT THE REPUBLIC Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, June 19, 20, 21, 22 A RUPERT JULIAN PRODUCTION SUPERVISED BY C.GARDNER SULLIVAN WILLIAM BOYD ELINOR FAIR THE YANKEE CLIPPER JUNIOR COGHLAN On Tuesday, one day only, the greatest sextette of stars ever in one picture in "The Reckless Lady" with Belle Bennett, Ben Lyon, Lyon Moran, James Kirkwood, Lowell Sherman and Charlie Murray. You know what to expect. Wednesday and Thursday, our own favorites, Irene Rich and Conway Tearle in "My Official Wife." On Friday and Saturday, Marceline Day and Mae Bush appear in "Fools of Fashion"—in other words you can't wear silk on a cotton income. The Black and White Syncopators will furnish the melodies. T. O.

EIGHT Footlights By "Ma. "Stopping the Traffic," playing the Howard Theatre this week is what one might call an exceptionally good singing show There is a range of music portrayed by the stars of the revue which seems a hard combination to beat. Especially is the singing of Lomax worth hearing. His two songs, "Roses of Picardy," and "O Sole Mio," sung in Italian, transported one to the realms of opera And although the latter song was the same as Greek to me, I did appreciate his singing. The show seems to have undergone many changes since it was here before, but is none the worse for them. Indeed, it seems to me to be a better show. The stars include besides Lomax, Cecil Rivers, Flo Brown, Slim Thompson, Billy McLaren, McAllister, Bertha Roe, and Blondina Stern. The chorus is a fast-stepping, good-looking bunch, and they seem to know what they're on the stage for. At the Lincoln, Elizabeth Smith, the Ukelele Girl, is cavorting this week. Elizabeth is one of the stars who contributed their services at the midnight show held in the Howard Theatre, June 7, for the benefit of the sufferers in the Mississippi flood area. She has been going over big at the Lincoln with her singing and playing act. She's cute, too! The talent shows at the Republic, which occur every Saturday night, seem to be pleasing the audience, somewhat, but not so much as did Morton and Robinson. Of course, there is bound to be a difference between the two. Nevertheless, these Saturday night shows are good. DETT HEADS NEW MUSIC DEPT. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—A new course in music education to be offered in September for the first time and to be under the direction of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett has recently been announced by the administration of Hampton Institute. The course will begin as a three-year course, but if demand justifies, it is probable that it will grow into a four-year course leading to a degree. The course as of- ACURROCK Photo R. NATHANIEL DETT ferred includes ear training, appreciation of music, pamio, harmony, and the history of music. Admission to the course directed by Dr Dett is open to graduates of high schools with natural aptitude for this particular subject. New Dean for College In the past the Collegiate Division of the institute has been conducted under six subdivisions or schools. There was a School of Agriculture, a School of Business, a School of Education, a School of Home Economics, a Library School, and the Trade School which has offered a course in building construction. Beginning with the fall term these six schools will be combined under the direction of the Dean of College William E. Stark, Ph.D., has been chosen for this position. Dr. Stark graduated from Harvard College with the highest honors in 1896. He has had teaching experience in Harvard and in Radcliffe. New Admission Requirements The growth of the Collegiate Division of Hampton Institute has been rapid. From eight students in 1920-21 the numbers have increased until the year just closed there were 382. FILIPINOS' KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICS When Jascha Heifetz came out to the Orient to play his violin, the Filipinos flocked to hear him, so an Associated Press dispatch says. There were, of course, more Spanish than Americans—perhaps even more Japanese. But the house as a whole was Filipino. They of all classes were there, the high and the low; old revolutionary veterans, young teachers and professors, planters surrounded with their families from the provinces. And their knowledge of the classic selections made programs unnecessary. Lofty in their appreciation of good music, the Filipinos themselves predominate the clientele at musical events in Manila. Can we match them here in America proper in their knowledge of the classies? --- INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF DR. MORDECAI JOHNSON DECLARED MASTERPIECE INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF DR. MORDECAI JOHNSON DECLARED MASTERPIECE (Contirued from page 1) Dr. Johnson reviewed the history of Howard University from its founding. He told of its growth and development. He pictured its ideals. He recited its accomplishments. He expressed his hopes for its future. He offered it as an experimental laboratory in racial good-will and cooperation. He declared for entire public equality. Howard University, Dr. Johnson pointed out, has grown from one department to nine, from four students to 4,204 coming from 37 states and 11 foreign countries, from 1 teacher to 160, from a rented frame building to 25 buildings and grounds valued at $3,000,000, its annual income from nothing to an average of $500.00, and it has 7,016 graduates. "It is, he said, 'the first mature university organization to come to pass among Negroes in the civilized world.'" Howard university exists, Dr. Johnson declared, in order to supply competent minds to meet the fundamental needs of the people. He quoted statistics showing that there is only 1 Negro physician to every 3,300 Negroes in the United States, while there is 1 white physician to every 450 white persons; only 1 Negro dentist to every 20,000 "needy Negro mouths." There is great need for competent Negro lawyers, of teachers and college trained ministers, he stated, "Howard University," he said, "is dedicated to supply these needs.' Launching into the possibilities of the contributions of Howard University to the 'development of cooperative race relations, Dr. Johnson premised his remarks with a statement that the Negro problem is no longer actional. They will never have a definite geographical unity again, he said, "Wherever they go they have certain common problems. They find it painful to maintain their self-respect in the presence of their fellow citizens. "They are struggling today is never before to arrive at some unified understanding respecting what shall be their self expression, what shall be their relation to other members of the American population and how can they maintain their creative self respect in the midst of the country where they live." The great question now confronting the world, Dr. Johnson said, is what is going to be the relationship of this country to the weaker peoples of the earth. "It is not necessary for the world to wait to see what we are going to do in our foreign relations to find out what the trend is going to be, because the United States has a thermometer in its midst. "What is done as regards the Negro in this country will resound in the halls of the world. What is done to the Negro is an accurate and unfailing indication of the temper of the American spirit and of the character and intent of the American mind." He called attention to the special preparedness of Howard University to undertake a study of the Negro problem 'that will benefit not only every Negro in the nation but will add to the sum total of human knowledge." Negroes' Natural Gifts The Negro must not forget to cultivate his natural gifts, said Dr. Johnson. He must continue to sing. He must continue to develop his histrionic talents, his love to tell a good story and to act out a good part. "He must still keep alive that naive, simple and powerful faith whereby he has been able to get along smilingly under great difficulties and bear the cross with a gentle and kind heart." "Sixty-five years ago the Negro came from bondage. In that 60 years he has had advantage of education, he has come to this place. What is his destiny? I do not know. I hope, and do not conceal my hope, that his destiny will be entire public equality and entire good-will, cooperative relationship with every element of the American population, and that he shall be understood and especially understood by those men who have been his former masters and who have been accustomed to make him enslaved. "I hope that he will be delivered entirely from every form of public servitude and that he will be re-delivered spontaneously by his own consent to the common good." "That day is far off yet. But the existence of this institution tells something about the intent of the American mind. When I see that in 60 years it has been possible for such an institution as this to come to pass, I am encouraged for my country, and my hopes are stimulated by a great inspiration. "Fellow students, Howard University is here to prepare the Negro men who shall cooperate with all white men who look forward to the coming of that day when this Negro will have absolute public equality without having paid the price of any single degree of diminution of blackness, or any single degree of diminution of his self respect, and that he may be able to do so without giving up the expression of any of those individual things which he has been able to bring down with him through history. Unashamed and Unafraid "I hope that it will be a moral accomplishment, not an expedient of any kind even though that expedient be tomorrow morning. "I want my country to conquer all of the inhibitions connected with blackness or the fears connected with blackness, but I want it to leave blackness there, and I want blackness to be unashamed and unafraid. "Fellow students, you are among those who, are prepared to take part in this enterprise. You are going out to work among a people greatly undermanned. You are going to find it hard most of you to earn a living. You are going to be tempted to desert the public good and to seek merely your own self aggrandizement. "But I call upon you to keep in remembrance your university. Keep especially in remembrance those noble white men who founded it here. They that it a thing not to be grasped after to be on equality with Anglo-Saxons and to enjoy all rights and privileges of Anglo-Saxons. They humbled themselves. They made themselves obedient to the needs of slaves. They lived with us, ate with us, suffered ostracism and humiliation with us in order that by personal contact with us they might teach us the truth and the truth might set us free. "They did these things because they loved a country, a country which has never yet existed on land or sea, a country in which all men are free, all men are intelligent and all men are self-directed contributors to the common good. Share Responsibility "That country has not yet been attained. It is still the goal of the American people. You are to participate in the bringing of that country to pass. You have here enjoyed the fruits of the labors of the founders. You cannot be self respecting men and women unless you also participate in the spirit of the founders. Their country must be your country. You must salute it from afar and even while you fight with every ounce of energy for those public equalities, without which you cannot live self respecting lives, you must also as they have done take upon yourselves the cross, your proper share of the responsibility to bring that public equality to pass. "You will have to keep in remembrance, and this will be hard for you to do, that many men of other races who seek to do you injustice, are men who have had the advantage you have had. They do so because in their blindness regarding the purposes of government they think that their own welfare consist in the subordination of your own to theirs. But if they be blind in the mind, you cannot afford to strike a blind man. You must be patient to be just to them while they get wisdom and courage to be just to you. And you must remember that your disposition may be the decisive factor in the change of their minds. Shame not Howard "Keep in mind your university and in all of your labors cast no shame upon her. So live out in the real world that travellers from your city may come to this place because you have been trained here. Your institution is laurel but it is still very largely unknown. She is like some humble mother who washes clothes in some country place while you go out to share in the glory of the world. The world will never know very much of your mother or respect her either except what you make it do by the character of the life you live. "So live that when you are done living men may ask where were you born, who were your teachers, where were you trained. And in prayers when you strip yourselves of all dress parade of every kind make mention of your university before the God and Father of us all, and make special mention of your servant who now stands before you, the deans and members of the faculty, the board of trustees and all those men of good will in whose hands her destiny lies. "And now may the power of the Lord our God be upon you; may He establish the work of your hands; yea, the work of your hands may. He establish it." Degrees were conferred upon 242 from 9 colleges and schools of the university. The honorary degree of doctor of law was conferred upon Justice Stanton Jukins Peelle. Commissions as second lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps were awarded 17. Presentation of the commissions was made by Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War. MRS. FURBUSH SEEKS LIMITED DIVORCE MRS. FURBUSH SEEKS LIMITED DIVORCE Mrs. Amelia Furbush, 1815 Eighteenth street, northwest, filed suit against Aubrey Furbush, an employee of the fashionable Wardman Park Hotel, for a limited divorce last Monday. She charges cruelty and non-support. In her bill of complaint Mrs. Furbush alleges that her husband spent most of his time and money for intoxicating liquors and gambling. She says he often came home drunk and without provocation would assault her. She still bears scars, she states. When she returned from her work May 28, she declares, her husband had removed his belongings and deserted her, leaving the rent unpaid. The couple was married at Palmyra Courthouse, Fluvanna county, Va., January 28, 1913. They lived together one year, separating because of his conduct. Mrs. Furbush claims. After living apart for four years, she states, they resumed marital relations upon his promise to do better. They have one child, Mary Furbush, 13 years old, whose custody the mother seeks. Mrs. Furbush is represented by Attorney Joseph P. Neal. Tribune Ads Result THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1927 THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE ANDOLPH Gov. EDWIN P.

Morrow made a visit to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porter's office recently on a mission to institute the hearing on the case of the Pullman porters.

Mr. Dett, in his talk, made known the reason for his refusal to come to Washington last summer to assume control of musical activities in the local colored public schools. His organization work at Hampton Institute, where he was attempting to open a musical department would have been left unfinished. This work, he said he felt, was of such a benefit to Hampton that it deserved his attention. Every Th REPU W E. L. Sanford, Mgr.
