BOTH CLAIM EXPERIENCE AS AIR PILOTS
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 14 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—A move to write the names of Black Americans up near the top of the new aviation history which America is now making, is under way through the announcement of the Citizens Trans-Pacific Flight Committee of San Francisco with Frank A. Flynn, secretary of the National Aeronautical Association, as chairman, that two black American youths are listed among the probable entrants to the non-stop $35,000 Hawaii-America flight Negro Air-Mail Pilot Backed by a local millionaire, Clarence E. Martin, 3771 Latimer Place, Oakland, a colored youth who received his first lesson in aviation from the late Lincoln Beachey who lost his life during a flight at the world's Exposition in 1915, will pilot-a California built monoplane recently built and given a trial test June 25 at Bay Farm Island. Martin, a former air-mail pilot has been flying planes of various types around Oakland for years. Starting in 1914 by carrying gasoline for Beachey at the Emerville race track, the colored youth began the study of aviation in 1922 following his graduation from the University High School.
During the war he studied aviation at the Berkeley Airway School and he says he has a rating with the War Department as America's youngest and best Negro authority on aeronautical engineering. A few years ago he was associated with Emmett Tanner, daredevil stunt flier. Martin expects to hop-off some time in August and plans to make the flight alone.
Chauffeur Entry
Among the long list of entrants made public by the committee is the name of Walter E. Swagerty, colored chauffeur of a wealthy San Francisco family. Swagerty, according to his statement to the committee, received his first air schooling in San Diego in 1914. Since then he states he served as a volunteer mechanic for Beachey and has made various flights at country fairs throughout the Southwest. He plans to purchase a Breese-Wild monoplane here.
Showing a sense of humor equal to his daring, Swagerty told the committee that he is going to name his ship "The Ace of Spades." "There's a lot of other aces coming out here, but it would be a short deck without an ace of spades, and it won't be 'Bye, bye blackbird' either," stated Swagerty. "Once I get started, I'm going to keep right on going. I've got a wife and a little family and I've got to get there, that's all."
$35,000 Prize
$25,000 for the first flyer to reach Honolulu from the mainland and $10,000 for the second flyer, are the prizes offered by Jim Done, Hawaiian pineapple magnate for a non-stop flight from any point on the Pacific Coast to Honolulu at any time after August 12. Airplanes may start at any point on the North American continent and must finish either at the John Rogers airport, four miles from Honolulu, or, in the case of sea planes at Pearl Harbor, eight miles west of Honolulu. Entries must be registered with the nearest chapter of the National Aeronautical Association ten days prior to the take off.

PHILIP JACKSON DENIEDINSANITY PLEA BY COURT
Justice A. A. Hoehling in criminal court No. 1 late Tuesday afternoon denied the petition of Philip Jackson for the impaneing of a jury to inquire into his sanity.
John H. Wilson, attorney for Jackson, noted an appeal immediately after Justice Hoehling had finished the reading of a lengthy memorandum denying the petition. Attorney Wilson stated in open court that he would carry the case to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia.
Justice Hoehlling then changed the date set for the execution from July 29 to November 11. He informed Mr. Wilson that if the case should not be reached by the court of appeals by that time, he would grant a further stay of execution.
Atorney Wilson submitted a number of affidavits in attempting to make a prima facie case of insanity. One of these affidavits was made by Maude Fleet. She declared that she is the mother of Philin Jackson and that her brother, William Jackson, is his father. She stated that she and her brother were raised by their aunt, Mary Ann Jackson, in the country near Indian Head, Md., and that when she was a girl of about 17 or 18 years of age her brother took advantage of her innocence and that this incestuous relationship continued over a period of several months resulting in the birth of Philin Jackson.
Disease Traced
In another affidavit Dr. W. S. Savoy declared that a blood test indicated the presence of a social disease in its most virulent form and that inasmuch as there is no outward signs of the revages of this disease, it is probably affecting the brains and other internal organs of Jackson. Several other affidavits concerned the mental condition of Jackson. In one of them Charles (Continued on page 6)
L. G. HYMAN TO
GO TO TUSKEGEE
Leonard G. Hyman, well known local photographer, has accepted the position as head of the photographic division at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama. The position covers the operation of a studio for the institute and the teaching of a class in photography.
The vacancy was created by the death of C. M. Battle, whom Mr. Hyman succeeds. A trip south to look over the situation, recently, proved favorable to the new photographer and the school authorities.
Mr. Hyman, grandson of the late ex-Congressman, John A. Hyman of North Carolina, finished the Brunel College of Photography, New York and received his teacher's training at the Miner Normal School here.
He leaves soon for New York, where he will attend the convention of the Photographers' Association of America, the last week in July. He expects to reach Tuskegee about August 1 to prepare for the opening of the winter session.
DR. J. MILTON HOPKINS DEAD
ALEXANDRIA, VA., July 15—Dr. J. Milton Hopkins, of 416 N. Columbus street, this city, died Friday morning, July 15, at 5 a.m. at his residence. Dr. Hopkins has practiced medicine here for the past 29 years.
His illness has covered a period of one year, being first taken sick while visiting in Cleveland, Ohio, last August.
He is survived by a wife, Margy M., and two brothers, Byron and Albert.
The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
Judge Robert E. Mattingly, sitting in Police Court Friday, July 15, held Miss Eva Fitzhugh under $500 bond not to breach the peace. In holding Miss Fitzhugh under this bond, Judge Mattingly said that the cause of conduct was not involved in the case at all. The case grew out of troubles caused by Miss Fitzhugh's visit to Dr. Arthur Curtis's office, 1717 U street, last Thursday. It is claimed that it was her fourth or fifth visit. Miss Eva, Fitzhugh, 1816 S street, northwest, was arrested last Thursday upon a warrant sworn out by Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, a physician, 1717 U street, northwest. She was charged with making threats and was held in bond of $300 for trial in police court. Miss Fitzhugh visited the office of Dr. Curtis on July 6, threatening him. The next day he had the warrant sworn out but before it was served she returned to his office and created a scene in the street. She fainted and was taken to the eighth precinct police station.
She is the proprietress of a tea room for white people only. The case first came up for a hearing in Police Court last Saturday, July 9th, but was continued until Thursday, July 14th. Because of the inability of District Attorney Ralph Glivins to be present when the case was reached Thursday, it was continued until Friday, July 15th. Miss Fitzhugh is a sister of Mrs. M. W. D. Norman, wife of the late Rev. M. W. D. Norman of Metropolitan Baptist Church.

In a letter from President King of Liberia to Rev. W. W. Matthews, missionary secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and editor of the Missionary Seer, the president said, "The will and desire of any group of Liberian Christians to establish a church free from foreign control will be encouraged; the establishment of such an organization should not be accepted as indicating the wish for the withdrawal of foreign missionary interests."
This letter came in response to an inquiry from Rev. Matthews in January shortly after President King had made public his address to the Liberian Congress calling for the establishment of a Church of Liberia. At the time, his utterances greatly disturbed the foreign religious bodies for fear that they would be excluded from the Negro republic, where for years, they have done missionary work.
President King, in explaining his position, said, "From the colonial days of the country until now, the government of Liberia has always taken the keenest interest in, and has afforded every protection and encouragement to foreign religious societies operating within the borders of the Republic and it has cooperated by making large grants of public domain to these societies good will of the government will in the future remain unaltered provided the missionary agents will observe and comply with the laws of the Republic.
"It is hoped that all institutions interested in the unlimited welfare of Liberia, will look upon any movement for the establishment of a Liberian Church with religious pride."
The letter was transmitted to Rev. Matthews by the President's secretary.
Rev. Matthews, expressed himself as being well satisfied with President King's letter. He knows the Liberian field intimately. He has spent several years there in the interest of his church. Rev. Matthews is a leading candidate for the bishopric at the next general conference and it is his hope, that if successful, he will be sent to take charge of the work in Liberia.

MISS IRWIN IS
OUT FOR GOOD
OF SERVICE
Miss Emma Mae Irwin was separated from the Government service as superintendent of nurses at Freedmen's Hospital last Saturday for the good of the service.
Judge E. C. Finney, assistant secretary of the Interior, who has been handling Freedmen's Hospital matters, stated that the reason for her separation was that she was unable to get along with her associates, nurses and students, resulting in internal troubles. There had been many complaints concerning her in the past months, he said.
He said that she is a very skilled nurse, but it was thought that a change for the good of the service would be desirable.
The two assistant chief nurses, Miss Charlotte K. May and Mrs. Louise Nelson, are performing the work of Miss Irwin. A successor to Miss Irwin has not been chosen. Judge Finney said that the appointment of another superintendent of nurses at Freedmen's Hospital would be given careful consideration with a to getting a very capable.
Miss Irwin is temporarily living at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Milton Francis on Pennsylvania avenue. Miss Irwin when called by The Tribune, declined to make a statement. Therefore it is unknown as to what her future plans are.

SESSIONS AND PARADE TO BE HELD IN JERSEY
NEWARK, N. J., July 14. The controversy regarding the meeting annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World was settled Tuesday when counsel representing the grand lodge and Elk lodges of New York City entered into an agreement. This agreement provides that the business sessions of the Grand Lodge and the Elks' parade shall be in Jersey City, N. J., and all entertainments for Grand Lodge delegates and visitors shall be held in New York City. It further provided that if the injunction against the order in New York is dissolved prior to the meeting of the Grand Lodge, both the business sessions and the social affairs will be held in New York City.
Agreement by Phone
The agreement between counsel was confirmed over long distance telephone by J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, in talking with Perry W. Howard, Grand Legal Adviser. Mr. Wilson was in Raleigh, West Virginia, attending the Elks' state convention. The suit for an injunction to restrain the Grand Exalted Ruler from changing the meeting place from New York City brought by New York lodges was dismissed by consent of the parties. Cleveland, Ohio, was withdrawn as a contender for the convention by Alexander H. Martin, an attorney, representing Cleveland Elks. Judge E. D. Clark of the United States Court for New Jersey, in which the suit had been filed, congratulated both sides upon learning of the agreement. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson and Grand Legal Adviser Howard are to be guests of Harlem Elks in New York City Friday night at a get-together affair. At that time plans for the convention will be discuss
ONE SISTER DIES ONE DAY AFTER THE OTHER
ONE SISTER DIES ONE DAY AFTER THE OTHER
Two sisters were buried together last Sunday from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. One was Mrs. Lucy Jane Pinn Plummer and the other was Miss Nannie P. Lucas, both being lifetime residents of this city. Mrs. Plummer, the elder who was, about seventy years old died Thursday, July 7 at her home, 1634 S street, northwest, where she lived with her two sons, Rev. James Luther Pinn and Paul Calvin Pinn.
The younger, Miss Lucas who was sixty-four years old died on Friday morning in Randolph, New Hampshire, where for twenty years or more she had been accustomed to spend her summers. She had been ill for several weeks and was thought to have been almost entirely recovered. Her body was brought to Washington in time to be placed by the side of her deceased sister at the S street on Saturday and both were interred side by side in the Harmony Cemetery.
The funeral services were held jointly on Sunday at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church where there were many friends on the outside who could not gain admission to the church. Rev. Walter Brooks, pastor of the church, and Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, officiated.
Surviving these sisters are a sister, Mrs. Mary V. Ross Fickling; three brothers, M. Grant Lucas, Rev. G. W. M. Lucas and James O. Lucas; the two sons of Mrs. Plummer, and her husband, Rev. Elias Q. Plummer.
The records of the United States Patent Office show that the deceased Miss Lucas, some years ago, conceived and invented a useful household article, it being a device for grinding food for which the department granted her a patent under the name of the "Lucas Food Grinder."

LIGHT FROM SOUTH AFRICA
After a period of darkness almost thick enough to be felt, a ray of light comes from South Africa. The latest news from the Union of South Africa is to the effect that the Labor members of the South African parliament have brought such pressure upon the Hertzog government of the Union of South Africa that the so-called sedition clauses in the National Administration bill have been withdrawn.
For a long time the news from South Africa as to the relations between the natives and the whites, or Europeans, as they are called according to the English nomenclature, has been most disturbing. The whites, or Europeans have assumed a most intolerant and reactionary attitude toward the natives.
The Native Administration bill is a very comprehensive measure, defining practically every possible relation between native and white; limiting the occupations which the natives may follow in such manner as to prevent all competition between them and the whites, and specifying in most instances the occupations which the natives may follow. The bill goes so far as to forbid labor organizations of natives and prescribes severe penalties for the violations of the law. It is presumed that the provision against native labor organizations is what is meant by the withdrawal of the sedition clauses of the Native Administration bill, the features as to occupations in which the natives may engage, and the prevention of competition between native and white remaining in the measure.
It is stated in the news article that this action by the South African Labor party is hailed as a victory for the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union, the labor organization of native labor, which numbers 75,000 members, and which is trying to establish fraternal relations with the unions of white workers in South Africa. Arthur Barlow, Labor member, defended the native union and warned the government that the South African Labor party had definitely resolved to stand by the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union.
Messages of fraternity have been exchanged between the South African Trade Union Congress and the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union. In their fight against the sedition clauses, the South African white labor leaders pointed out that many of these clauses could be applied to white as well as colored unionists.
Clements Kadalie, national secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union, represented his organization as an unofficial delegate to the recent conference of the International Labor Organization of the League of Nations in Geneva. Kadalie is said to be an able organizer and a powerful speaker, as well as a capable and consistent contender for native rights.
HENRY FORD'S APOLOGY
The retraction by Henry Ford of calumnies which for the past seven years have appeared in his paper, the Dearborn Independent, against the Jews, and his petition for forgiveness is probably the greatest moral event of the twentieth century. The propaganda conducted by the Dearborn Independent against the Jews is significant as an exhibition of race prejudice. In this case the prejudice is due to the fact that the Jew has shown himself in the competitions of life to be a better man than his competitors of other races. Prejudice in this case is a violation the commandments against bearing false witness and against covetousness.
That a man of Henry Ford's wealth, and the power consequent thereupon, should publicly acknowledge that he has wronged a whole race and ask forgiveness for it, is a moral fact of the greatest significance and should have a far-reaching influence in abating and mollifying all racial prejudices. The world today is torn asunder by racial prejudices, distinctions

H and segregations. They are the causes of more wrongs and injustices and oppressions than economic inequalities, and they are contributing more to breed distrusts and hatreds.
The Jews in making moral protest against these practices, have placed all the proscribed peoples under a lasting sense of obligation. They have suffered, and, in parts of the earth, still suffer from great and inhuman wrongs. They, however, have never lost their sense of decency and self-respect, and the will to enter moral protest against unjust treatment.
It is a common expression among our people that we should do as the Jews do. This ordinarily means that we should get money. The incident of Henry Ford's retraction shows that the Jew has money, because he has knowledge, wisdom, understanding and unconquerable and unbending will. For more than thirty centuries he has endured hardship and injustice as few, if any races have, and yet as Longfellow puts it he is "unshaken as the continent."
This incident affords the occasion to recommend to our young people a careful and painstaking study of the history of the Jews, as well as a study of the methods by which they meet the wrongs and proscriptions that are aimed at them. No people who have not a strong intellectual grasp, and an unchanging will to overcome apparently insurmountable obstacles, may hope to materially change the untoward conditions which hamper them.
THE RIP SAW
If the Negro Race Had Pride
Of the virtues needed by the Negro in his fight for a place in the sun, one of the most important at the present stage of his progress is a militant pride. The race has been taught that white is the embodiment of everything good, precious and great for so long a time, that he has almost ceased teaching his children to be proud of their race.
Here and there a feeble attempt is being made to bolster up this waning spirit but its greatest obstacle is the lack of pride so evident in the so-called leaders of the race. The one man who apparently was on the road to instilling a sense of pride into his followers, was betrayed by a group of other so-called leaders, and finally landed in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta. Whatever else that may be said about his followers, it must be admitted that they possessed a pride in things Negroid to a far greater degree than the followers of any other Moses.
go to most any of our theaters where the legitimate shows play, and there you will find that the greatest burlesque is on the color of our race, the texture of the hair, or the ignorance of our lowest class. Regardless as to how the audience is constituted, these always seem to produce a laugh. As a race, we laugh at our own shortcomings or mis-givings more than any other group. Octavous Roy Cohen, Irvin Cobb or Thomas Dixon have been mild in their characterization of the Negro in comparison to most of the take-off seen in shows produced to play our own theaters and for our own entertainment.
It is true that there are Jewish and Irish characterizations, but in every instance, a redeeming virtue is possessed by the character. But not so with the Negro. He never rises above his lowest level.
In our' schools, our standards and idols are white. How many Negro children swell with pride when they are taught about the battle of Bunker Hill where Peter Salem immortalized his blood, or the fight on Boston Commons where a star marks the place on which the first blood of the Revolutionary War was shed my Chrispus attuces. These incidents are passed over so swiftly, or ignored all together, that the little innocent children hear only of Paul Revere or Nathan Hale.
Mention the name of Thomas Edison, and see the bosom of the white man as it swells with pride as he says "there is a typical American." He holds his life up before his children that they too may catch the inspiration of his achievements. On the other hand, mention the name of Benjamin Banneker to a Negro father, and ninety-nine out of a hundred will simply stand up and look dumb. Banneker's pioneering in the field of science and invention means nothing to such a parent's children—less to him.
In the field of business the Negro does not pride himself on what he can purchase from another of his race, but proudly displays the label of a store where the trade of the Negro is not wanted. He feels proud when he can "slip in"
and purchase something and strut it before those who are inclined to be envious of this sort of snobbery. Admire a garment and see how boastfully its possessor, in most cases, will tell you, "I purchased this at so and so's on F street." When the exception comes along with something purchased from one of his own merchants, notice how the crowd immediately proceeds to literally pick it to pieces with criticisms.
A Negro paper or mazagine may devote columns to covering a note-worthy event pertaining to the race, while the white press will devote only a few lines and this in a remote part of the paper, and you will never hear the end of the talk about, "Did you see what the white paper said about us?" Nary a word, however, about what the Negro paper said. Look in the scrap book of the popular athletes and you will find clipping after clipping from the white press and not one from their own papers.
The instances of this lack of pride are so numerous that it is useless to mention more. How can the Negro achieve in the face of such discouraging circumstances? A Negro messenger with a $20-a-week job as a lackey in the office of some third-rate politician, will wear you out with talk about his boss, and this same person if given a job with a Negro business firm at a higher salary, after the first day, will refuse to call his superiors by anything other than their first names, and will feel slighted if he is not invited to his employers' homes for dinner.
To develop anything, one must have pride. It is far better we are forced to believe, to have false pride than no pride at all. Our school teachers must take pride in teaching our children of Negro heres in the nation's history. The comedian must be forced to get comedy out of other incidents in our lives besides our hair, color, and the ignorance of lower classes. Negro fathers must tell their children of the exploits of Negroes in the fields of science, inventions, explorations and statesmanship.
No achievement is possible without pride. The craftsman takes pride in his work and produces an article that he can exhibit without apology. The pride of being the first to fly from New York forced Lindbergh to undergo hardships and make a hazardous trip over the ocean.
So must the Negro, if he is to keep pace, undergo hardships in order that his pride may not be sullied. When our pride becomes militant and we are willing to do anything to maintain and increase it, then, and not until then, are we on the road to progress and to a place in the sun.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1927
KIDDIES' CORNER
C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor
Do you know this young man?
He is a regular fellow and a friend of yours and mine. And say, boys,
he's a real Westerner! Straight
Scurlock
Father
Wm. H. SMALLWOOD
from the wild and wooly West—
Omaha, Nebraska.
He is our editor this week. He
has written some mighty fine art
articles for this page. Glance over
our Corner and see how you like
his work. Think you know him
now? Sure you do—he is William
S. Smallwood.
Recently he wrote a Boy Scout
story in serial form. He has also
written other articles for the Kid-
dies' Corner, and he has proved
himself to be a real Tribunite.
He lives at 783 Lamont street,
northwest. He is 13 years old.
HERE ARE THE LUCKY ONES
Last week, a story was printed in bad English for the Tribunites to make correct. Here is the story as it should be:
Once upon a time there was a knight. He was a champion fighter. While one day he was riding on his horse he heard a cry from a princess.
He asked, "What is the matter?" And she said, "There is a dragon in my city." She said, "and I'm looking for a brave knight to get my mother and father in the castle weeping."
"I will fight him," he said. And the dragon was about to enter the place when the knight came and killed the dragon.
The winners are Gladys Cole.

THE TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE
1. I will never use the word "nigger."
2. I will learn all I can about the history and traditions of my race.
3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my race, and I will champion my race wherever and whenever I may hear such slander.
4. I will be proud I am a Negro because God made me so, and, being a Negro, I will do all I can.

The Editor asked me to tell you my motto. Here it is:
"Such help as we can give each other in this world is a debt we owe each other."—Ruskin.
SOME THINGS TO THINK OF
By Wm. Smallwood (13)
Langston Hughes, our foremost writer, has written a fine collection of stories and poems which chiefly concern the young Negro. White critics have criticised "our" Langston as having written trash, too complicated for the public, but the Negro reader knows that this is intended to be a hindrance to our other colored writers who are fast becoming popular. We hope that it will not make our young writers depressed, and to stand back and to leave their work incompleted. In other words the white brother is jealous, but we have no real reason to growl because nothing can hold real ability back.
No doubt you recently read in a New York paper of a young colored boy attending the graded schools who won high honors in an oratorical contest. He should be our inspiration, a most noble one. Why shouldn't we strive to succeed as the whites have done? They have done it, why can't we? The time is nearing for the Negro to show what HE can do. Are you prepared?
The Negro has woven a brilliant career as a soldier and author as he has in scores of other things. His white brother has scored in murdering, unfair criticism, and in scores of other bad traits. Shall we let him hold us back after our long and endless battle for recognition? But stop a moment, our white brother is not possessed all by evil. He has a few good traits. In several incidents has he not recognized his brother when all nations were conflicted? Although his recognition was faint, he showed emotion. Just one half of our white brothers are possessed with unfairness—but the other half is possessed with—what?
Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, and Dr. Carter G. Woodson have both shown real whole-heartedness in helping the Negro. How are you and I to return that support? Rev. Wiseman, another prominent benefactor of our race, has brought his splendid ideas to light. Aren't there more? Yes, there are, and you and I should be. There are big difficulties to be encountered, but we all must decide to help our race. I intend to—don't you?
AN CONTEST

THE TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE
1. I will never use the word "nigger."
2. I will learn all I can about the history and traditions of my race.
3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my race, and I will champion my race wherever and whenever I may hear such slander.
4. I will be proud I am a Negro because God made me so, and, being a Negro, I will do all I can to add honor to my people.
ANOTHER CHAPTER STORY
Thrills! Pathos! Adventure admist daring aplenty! That's "Checkers," the dashing hero of William H. Smallwood's new story in eight chapters crammed full of the adventures of a nineteen-year-old boy. This story will begin on Friday, July 22.

ATTENTION. BUDDIES
Our editor would like to hear from you all—every single one. Now, no backing out, because I know everyone of you can write, so get down to business! Why, it's just simply disgraceful, not one of you writing to him. I thought you said you loved him, but you don't.
His desk is beginning to groan and creak under the heavy load of "My Buddy" names. You'll forgive your dear old editor for not publishing your names, but you understand when every letter and article is yelling at him, "Print me! Print me!" You'll forgive him, yes?
I saw his mail this week, and it was a rather big pile for a man to work over during these hot days. It is a wonder that he ever gets any of the addresses correct, because some of you are so careless with figures. Your sevens may be nines or ones, and your threes may be eights. Be considerate and make your figures a bit plainer.

CEDAR HAVEN CEWS
On last Sunday, Cedar Haven
formally opened to the public its
new bathhouse; and the large
number of bathers, participating
in the festivities, enjoyed the cool-
ing saltwater splash. The crowd
vas by no means diminished by
the intermittent rains of the ear-
ly day. Many enjoyed the baseball
game, which was a good, snappy
affair.
To the extent that the rains did
not hurt the sandy baseball dia-
mond, they did at least help the
fishers, several of whom brought
in first class strings.
The coming events at Cedar
Haven hold. forth many pleasant
days to resort pleasure seekers.
On July 20, the Northeastern Bap-
tist Church and Sunday School is
giving an_ old-fashioned basket
pienic at Cedar Haven. Some of
the feature of the season will
be a baseball game between the
church team and the Northwestern
Progressive Clubs, peanut races
for the kiddies, bathing, fishing
and pee.
‘Cedar Haven will have shortly a
“Harrison’s,” for Mr. Harrison,
well known restaurant owner of
Washington, will soon open an
establishment there.
Two ladies, both of whom are
principals in the local schools haye
purchased a thousand dollar villa
site. These two ladies are starting
and sponsoring a summer colony
for school teachers at Cedar Hav-
en. To this end, special arrange-
ments have been made in favor
of school teachers purchasing sites
at Cedar Haven.
School teachers make payments
only during the months of the
school term; for them, a morator-
jum exists during the months of
July and August. *

Mortimer M. Harris, local real
éstate dealer and broker, who an-
nounced through this paper last
week that he had $500,000 to loan
to Negro property owners at six
per cent, set a new record for
loans made in one week, During
the past week, his office made
loans aggregating over $100,000,
‘This is considered a unique rec-
ord and Mr. Harris has received
the compliments of many of his
friends for his achievement.
Mr. Harris, in a statement to
the press, stated, “I am proud of
tae fact that I was fortunate in
securing cheap money for my peo-
ple. During the past few years,
when the demand for money was
great, naturally its cost went up.
Most ‘of the people who ‘purchased
homes were forced to pay seven
per cent interest. By being able
now to refinance their property

PHILLIP JACKSON DENIED INSANITY PLEA
(Continued from page 1)
F. Swann, a police officer, stated that he has known Jackson for nearly eight years, having worked with him at Indian Head, Md., and that during that time his observation of him was that he was "not of sound mind, nor fully responsible for all that he would say or do."
John H. Jenkins of Ponkeyon, Md., declared in another avidavit that he has known Jackson for twenty-one years and that "every one that knew him has considered him of unsound mind because of his peculiar ways and actions. Mr. Jenkins stated that he was Jackson's foreman and cautioned him to be careful while unloading sulphur "and he quit in a rage showing great resentment." He added that "I was warned to handle him carefully because he was a child of a brother and sister and considered to be an idiot."
Stares at Floor
The affidavit of Milton Lee, a deputy United States marshal, is to the effect that he has observed Jackson in his trips to and from the jail and to the court house. He stated that he stares at the floor, his eyes bulge, his appearance somewhat resembles that of a dope fiend and that a few days before the date set for his execution he continually smiled and laughed.
There were three other affidavits of lay witnesses declaring that Jackson was of unsound mind.
These affidavits, Attorney Wilson contended, made out a prima facie case of insanity.
Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins, who represented the Government, argued that the failure to have the report of an alienist supporting the contention of insanity was fatal. He told Justice Hoelbling that as a result of a conference between United States Attorney Peyton Gordon, himself and Mr. Wilson, it was agreed that Dr. Arthur P. Noyes, first assistant physician at St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the insane, should examine Jackson.
Jackson Examined
On July 8 Dr. Noyes made an examination of Jackson. He reported that in his opinion "Philip Jackson is not insane and suffers from no mental disorder except that of somewhat subnormal intellectual development."
Mr. Collins submitted an affidavit signed by himself. Attorney Wilson objected to his filing it. He replied to Mr. Collins saying that he did not file the report of Dr. Noyes because he did not like the circumstances surrounding the examination. He said that he sought permission of Major Gordon to have Dr. Benjamin Karpman, a physician at St. Elizabeth's hospital and an instructor at psychiatry, to make an examination of Jackson. He had been informed by the superintendent of St. Elizabeth's hospital that it was necessary to have the permission of the United States attorney for a physician of that institution to make an examination of a criminal because the Government itself might decide to use him.
Major Gordon refused to permit Dr. Karpman to make the examination, but granted permission for Dr. Noyes to do so. He consented and gave Dr. Savoy an order to be present at the examination. At the time of the examination, Mr. Wilson stated, he received a telephone message from the jail saying that Dr. Savoy was locked out of the room in which the examination was being made, but that it was being conducted in the presence of Dr. D. Percy Hickling. District alienist, who had been studying Jackson for the Government.
Parentage No Factor
Justice Hoehling consulted both legal and medical authorities in preparing his opinion. On the question of the parentage of Jackson Justice Hoehling said that "as shocking to the moral sense as is the situation mentioned, it nevertheless, affords no basis for the premise that the off-spring of brother and sister is thereby, necessarily, a person mentally impaired."
He declared that "it surely cannot be that mental unsoundness, by the presence of a social disease.
Justice Hoehling said that the affidavits of lay witnesses were singularly lacking in the statement of facts upon which a conclusion that Jackson is of unsound mind could reasonably and intelligently be caused. He called attention to the fact that Jackson had testified at his trial on his own behalf and had answered intelligently and responsively more than 800 questions propounded to him by his and Government counsel.
He also said that during the trial there was nothing in Jackson's conduct, manner of replies to suggest in the slightest degree that he was not fully and entirely responsible from a mental standpoint.
Errors Assigned
Attorney Wilson assigns two errors on the ground that he made out a prima facie case of insanity sufficient to warrant Justice Hoehling to submit to a jury the question of the sanity of Jackson. He says that Justice Hoehling erred in overrueling the petition of Jackson for an inquisition by a jury into his sanity and in refusing to impanel a jury to inquire into his sanity. Jackson was convicted April 27 of raping Mrs. Daisy Welling in the Capitol Grounds on the night of February 23. He was sentenced to be electrocuted on July 1. One day before the date set for his execution, Justice Hoehling postponed the date of the execution to July 29 and gave Mr. Wilson until July 12 to make out a prima facie case of insanity.
PROMPT ACTION OF JEWS CAUSES FORD TO RETRACT
Pamphlets objectionable to the Jewish race have been called in, and the Dearborn Independent will henceforth respect the Hebrew. And what is this to us?
The recent conflict between Henry Ford and the Jewish people of this country, should be to us an object lesson, "Tis true, the Jew, 2000 years or more out of slavery in Egypt, has the benefit of those years of experience in business and politics, which freedom lends; whereas, we sixty years out of slavery, have not been able as yet to acquire the unity and accumulative knowledge, necessary to economic stability.
This should not preclude, however, our study of the methods used by another, so to speak, subject people. A comparison of such methods with our own, is at least interesting.
When the utterances of Henry Ford's paper gained wide publicity, Jews all over the country began "turning-in" Ford cars. New purchases of Ford cars by Jews were considered triconasonable. In a word, Wall Street and General Motors had not hurt Henry Ford half so much as did the Jew. They had apparently quietly boycotted the Ford car.
Interesting as is this conflict, the Jew handles even more effectively the black-listing of traitors within their own group. A few years back, when the Klan convention met in Washington, a Jewish merchant advertised, "Welcome K.K.K." The next morning, this merchant was out of every Jewish organization in the country; out of his church, and out of the circle of his friends. He was black-listed religiously, socially, and otherwise. It is useless for us to consider in so short a space, how we might treat defection in our midsts. The task, even among our so-called leaders alone, would be herculean. There are too many leaders who sell our principles for a few thousand dollars, and in many cases for less. Still, it might pay us to copy the Jewish methods in the Ford case. When we consider that the 126,000 colored people of Washington spend over $25,480,000 a year in this city, we should realize that we ought to demand respect of those firms that enjoy a part of this business. Places that do not respect nor cater to our people should be ignored, and a failure to support any firm would be felt.
In this connection, it may be interesting to note that a teacher of Dunbar High was told to use a separate rest room in Woodward and Lothrop. This is the second such case reported to the Tribune office.
If we were Jews, we would all be closing our accounts with such stores. We are therefore put to the test with our object lesson from the Jew before us. How many of us will show the world that we have self respect?
THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD HAS 25 TOES AND 18 FINGERS CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 15
(Preston News Service)—Twenty-five toes and eighteen fingers were in possession of the three-year-old girl who has registered at the orthopedic clinic at the city health department last Tuesday.
The child, Bertie Burton, daughter of B. M. Burton of Cernelius, was brought to the clinic by her mother, who was informed by the attending surgeon that the superabundance of fingers and toes could easily be removed and the child made normal. The legs were small and weak and the mother said that the child could not walk alone.
PREJUDICE BASED ON UN-SCIENTIFIC FACTS SAYS Y.W.C.A. EXECUTIVE
Y.W.C.A. EXECUTIVE
ASILOMAR, Calif., July 14—(Pacifica Coast News Bureau) During the Race Relations Hour at the annual Pacific Coast Conference of the Girl Reserve group of the Y. W. C. A. held here recently. Miss Emma Knauss, National Girl Reserve Executive of New York City, said:
"If we are unprejudiced, we are bigger than anything that can happen to us."
Miss Knauss brought out the fact in her talk that "prejudice was just an attitude based upon unscientific facts" and told the youthful listeners something of the inferior history of the whites. "Race" according to Miss Knauss, "is something that cannot be defined."
Over 400 white girls and 12 colored girls attended the conference, together with representatives from China, Japan and Hawaii.

ACTION BEGINS FOR MEDIATION
NEW YORK, July 14—On July 10, A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters received a telegram from Edwin P. Morrow, member of the Board of Mediation, to leave for Chicago immediately to join a conference for the adjustment of the dispute between the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company. This action followed Randolph's trip to Washington where he had a conference with the secretary of the Board of Mediation on the status of the case of the brotherhood and also relative to the source of the newspaper misrepresentation that the brotherhood's case had been turned down. He was informe by Secretary John Marrhin of the board that Morrow had just left for Chicago to proceed with the work of adjusting the Pullman porters' case with the Pullman Company. This comes as a strong and sharp refutation to the propaganda which had been spread all around to the effect that the Pullman Porters' organization had lost its case.
In reply to the rumor about the board denying the wage petition of the brotherhood, Donald R. Richberg, attorney for the union, and also for the twenty standard railroad unions said, "The Board has no right or power to turn down the case of the porters. Its duty is to use its best efforts by mediation to bring about an agreement between the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company." In the event that it fails to bring about such an agreement it is then its duty to recommend arbitration. The brotherhood proposes to institute legal action against those papers and news agencies which circulated damaging and libellous misrepresentations about its case and of Randolph. As a consequence of the slanderous attack on the organization and its leaders by certain forces, and the effort to mislead and confuse the Pullman porters throughout the country with respect to the brotherhood, hundreds of men are writing in, pledging their renewed, constant and unflagging allegiance, devotion and loyalty to the organization. Individual porters are agreeing and suggesting that the brotherhood levy any kind of tax however high on the men in order to put the brotherhood over the top, if necessary.
WEST VIRGINIA PHYSICIANS
MEET
BECKLEY, W. Va.—The West Virginia Medical Society met in its twenty-first annual session here, the last week in June. The opening was marked by the annual address of the president Dr. A. H. Brown of Charleston. Dr. Adolphus Walton, of Washington, D. C., served as dental clinician. One session of the convention was held at the New Providence Hospital in Bluefield. Here Dr. H. F. Burwell of Washington, D. C, exhibited unusual technique in his demonstrations. He was assisted by Dr. Jackson, anesthesist of Freedmen's Hospital, also of Washington. Officers elected were: president,
Indigestion Relieved
"I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsden, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of

BLACK-DRAUGH

for a long time. The dru-gist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made in- to tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the price."
Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose.

OREGON REPEALS UNCONSTITUTIONAL NEGRO EXCLUSION LAW
PORTLAND, Ore., July 14 (PCNB)—Regardless of the fact that paragraph 35 of Article 1 in the Oregon State Constitution which provides that "no free Negro or mulatto, not residing in this state at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall come, reside or be within this state or hold any real estate, or make any contracts or maintain any suit therein." is an unconstitutional abridgment of rights of citizens of the United States, a relic of slavery days and in direct conflict with the federal constitution, nevertheless 37,186 white Oregon citizens voted at the recent election to retain this discriminatory racial measure in its state constitution; 19,275 of these citizens were voters of Multnomah County of which Portland is the County Seat.

PAULINO ELIMINA
PANTHE
EBBETTS FIELD, BROOKLYN, N.Y., July 13—Harry Wills, erstwhile colored heavyweight champion, was removed, forever, from the pugilistic ladder here tonight when Paulino Uzcundun, Spanish woodchopper, kayoed him in the fourth round of their scheduled 15-round bout.
The defeat just about marks a definite ending to the 17-year ring career of Wills, whose decline began last October in the same ring when Jack Sharkey, the Boston sailor beat him on a foul.
For the past decade Wills had menaced the heavy champions. Willard was challenged, Tunney was challenged, and Dempsey was coaxed, chased and challenged by the Panther and his bosses, but all to no avail. Then Sharkey was matched and that ended it.
The three rounds of fighting here tonight were full of slugging, with Paulino getting the best of the going throughout. Suddenly, as a thunderbolt from a clear sky, the Spaniard unleashed a terrific right which landed flush on Wills' jaw and toppled him. The man who at one time carried the monicker "Brown Panther" resembled more or less the domesticated feline as he staggered to his feet at the count of nine Wills went down for the second and last time under a barrage of rights to the jaw and head.
It was the first time the colored champion had taken the full count since he was stopped 12 years ago by Sam Lankford.
The battle tonight was one in which Wills had nothing to gain and nothing to lose, while a victory for Paulino meant much to the boxer from Spain.

ANACOSTIA WINS ONE
LOSES ONE WITH A.W.C.
WASHINGTON BARRACKS—The Anacostia Athletics and Army War College nine split in their twin bill in the Tribute Baseball League down here last Sunday.
The first game was a slugfest in which the two teams got a total of 33 bingles. Starting early the Anacostias amassed 13 runs with their 17 hits while the War College team's 16 hits only netted them 5 markers Stanley Smith led the winners at bat while C A. Smith and Matthews shared the glory for the losers.
Though Stewart slabbing for the Athletics secured 15 strikeouts, the second battle went to the Soldiers at a 6-5 score. The 9 hits the War College team were able to get were better placed and 2 errors had to do with the win.
Good baseball and excellent
sportsmanship was displayed
throughout. Next Sunday the
Soldiers go to Ivy City for their
meeting with the Togans, and the
Anacostia lads will play hosts to
the Colesville Stars.

TOGANS GET EVEN BREAK AT HUNTSVILLE, MD.
Manager Webb and his Togan athletes journeyed out to Huntsville last Sunday and split in their double bill with the Huntsville Giants. The home team took the opening game, a slug-fest, by the score of 11-7.
Frank Bush, in form in the second engagement, stopped the hard-hitting Burgess and Hamilton. The latter was the only alien able to connect in the 5 innings of play. The contest was called at the close of the fifth, because of darkness.

WASHINGTON ALL STARS

MRYTLE PREPS WIN AND LOSE WITH A'S
ARLINGTON, VA. —In their first games as members of the Washington Tribune Baseball League, the Arlington Athletics met and split with the Myrtle Preps of Washington. The first game was a real battle which ended 10-7. The Athletics were leading 4-0 until the close of the fourth when the visiting team bunched enough hits in that and the following frame to go into the van 7-4. They were never headed. Adams, Myrtle's first sacker starred at bat in the opener with a homer and a double as in many times. The brief nightcap was decided in favor of the loca' team, Vollin, on the pitched, pitched steadily.

HURLER'S TIMELY BINGLE DECIDES
HURLER'S TIMELY BINGLE DECIDES
A crowd of some 2000 spectators saw Elzie Richards' fast stepping Orientalts down the Washington Giants in the only game played in the Union League on Sunday. Red Powell's hit with 2 on in the final frame put the league leaders on the long end of a 4-8 count. The victory, one of the most exciting of the season, should go solely to Red Powell, the Oriental ace, who, after pitching masterful ball the full route, in the last inning produced the hit which sent across the winning tally for his team.
Fisher muffed Smith's long fly to left to open the inning. Lewis singled. Urell was sent in to relieve Colbert, and the Giants' speed-king fanned the next two batters. With 2 strikes on him, Powell lofted a texas leaguer to short left which sent Smith and Lewis across with the deciding markers.
For 7 innings the score remained 1-0 in favor of the Tigers. The game was momentarily halted at the of the fourth out of respect to the deceased Giants centerfolders, Jessie Johnson.

The Washington Pirates regained the two games they lost to Huntsville opening day, by defeating the Columbia Cubs twice on the Anacostia field last Sunday.
The matinee air was a bang-up 3-2 meeting in which Brown and Miel hurling for the Pirates gained the verdict over Marion Levi. Covington was pounded in the nightcap and was forced to give way to John Levi, who checked the foe.

BROOKLAND, D.C.-Manager
Green's Brightwood Highlanders
succumbed to the Brookland
Giants in their opening games as
members of the Tribune League
last Sunday. The first game was
a pitcher's battle which ended 6-4.
Primrose of the Giants hooked
up with Shamwell. Both were in
splendid form allowing only 3 hits
and 5 hits respectively. Only
through his well-placed strikeouts
was the Brookland pitcher able to
best his opponent. Johnson,
Brooklander, was the only player
to enjoy more than 1 hit. He got
3 in 4 trips to the platter.

DULIN & MARTINS DIVIDE
WITH D.C. SPECIALS
Ivy City Diamond—A pair of well played games marked the meeting between the Dulin and Martin and D. C. Special teams out here last Sunday. The twibill was split, D. C. Specials taking the matinee 6-2, and the store nine gaining the verdict in the nightcap. Smith, the Specials' hurler, in the opener, was in exceptional form, securing in the course of the pastime 14 strikeouts. While the Dulin and Martin hits were numerous and his support not of the best, Smith was able to keep them well scattered. Though outhit by their rivals in the second encounter the ability of the store lads to hit when needed, and their bang defense gained them the verdict.

BLACK BARONS SCORE
OVER MONARCH OUTFIT
Sixth and K Sts., S.E.-Stemming an attempted ninth-inning rally, the Washington Black Barons eked out a sensatinoal 5-4 victory over the Monarchs in a Tribune League game last Sunday.
With Wood hurling effectively the Monarchs were unable to garder enough bingles in a row to do damage. Green and Euel pitched good enough to win, but because the Baron flinger was stingy in the pinches, they were forced to accept the smaller end of the count.

NATIONALS & SOUTHERN STARS DIVIDE TWIN BILL
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — With Young pitching masterful ball for the Alexandria Nationals, the Southern Stars of the Capital dropped the opening game of the Tribune League double header, here last Sunday 5-4. The visitors won the second contest 15-12. With Jackson and Carter pounding the pill unmercifully the Southern Stars were able to garner a total of 15 hits for 15 runs and thus annex the second contest. Thompson led the Virginians.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE ACTIVITIES
DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE ACTIVITIES
By Wm. C. Traynham
TREASURY LEADS
The first week of the play in the Colored Departmental League finds the Treasury team out in front followed closely by Post Office and Government Printing Office. These three clubs are doped to fight it out for the second series. The recent acquisition of Lacey and Payne by the P.O. has make a very formidable team while the Treasury has made numerous changes, apparently that will tend to make better harmony.
G.P.O. stands pat on her line-up and with Davis and "Letty" Smith, make up an excellent battery. State Department and Veterans Bureau have strong line-ups when all their players report, but this seems to be Managers Coles' and Anderson's greatest trouble—the mustering of a sufficient number to play their games.
The second week of play in the Departmental League again finds the G.P.O. team followed in order by Treasury, Post Office, State Department and Veterans Bureau; the latter two unless a sudden spurt is made, are apparently out of the running and is with difficulty that a sufficient number of players can be mustered for the games.
Due to the G.P.O. again mowing down, all opposition interest has lagged in the second series, their only defeat being administered by the Post Office which is always dangerous since the acquisition of Payne and Lacey and should the Treasury make a favorable showing it is hoped all teams will make an interesting battle for second honors.
COLORED BOXERS MOVE INTO DEMPSEY'S FORMER TRAINING QUARTERS IN CALIF.
Soaper's Ranch, Calif. July 14—(Pacific Coast, News Bureau)—Fugilists still constitute the majority of the population of this ranch, although Dempsey and his retinue have departed. When Dempsey moved out, Cherokee "Tom" Cox, and a string of boxers moved in. Those in the party are George Godfrey, Baby Joe Gans, Jimmie Harrison, a promising welterweight, Sam Baker, Godfrey's sparring partner, Bobbie Allen and a crew of rubbers and trainers.

GEORGE GODFREY BEATS
NEIL CLISBY KNOCKING
HIM OUT IN 7th; AFTER
LOSING FIRST
LOS ANGELES, CALIF., July 14 (Pacific Coast News Bureau)—The ponderous George Godfrey had just another one of "those workouts," Tuesday night at the Olympic Auditorium, when after allowing Neil Clisby to make a good showing for six rounds, he got busy and knocked him out. While, he was in there, Clisby made quite a showing, in fact he was far ahead on points up to the seventh round due to his landing a stiff right repeatedly on George's jaw. Evidently the punching was not bothering Godfrey but his hammering was taking its toll of Clisby's vitality and the San Berna-
SEVEN averages of First Seriesental League
dino lad wilted fast when the Shadow of Leiperville unloaded a succession of blows in the seventh. Clisby weighed in at 189 pounds while Godfrey tipped the scales at 225.

A Boy's Life in Reconstruction Days
By T. Thomas Fortune
Mariana, Jackson County, Florida, or the Chipola River, can hardly be located on the map of the United States, it is that insignificant, and its little river flows unchartered in to Appalachicola Bay. There are thousands of Southern villages in the country like Marianna, and they are of the first importance, in the estimation of those born in them, ranking all other villages beyond their horizon. Marianna sits upon its own seven hills and has its own turbulent river, with associations which are green in memory after the lapse of more than a half century. To our son, Timothy, it will always be the most beautiful and romantic of villages, simply because he was born there, although he left. it when yet, a child never to see it again but once for a few days.
Our son, Timothy, was born October 3, 1856, in the morning. A tropical storm threatened to destroy the log cabin in which his mother lived, and she was removed to a safer place a few hours before he came into the world—a slave child who must follow the slave condition of his mother. Her name was Sarah Jane. Her mother was named Rachel, and she was sold South by the Bush-Allens of Richmond. Her father must have been a Jew. She was very small in stature, very beautiful and very high strung. Her mother, the only African in Timothy's family, must have been a handsome woman. It takes likely people to beget likely children and Timothy was a very likely child.
In the year Timothy was born, the Nation was in great confusion and unproar about human slavery. The conflicting forces were fronting each other in a death struggle, with John Brown stirring up the fighting spirit and Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, in the Dred Scott Opinion of the Supreme Court, shocking the moral sense of the Nation. The civil war was only four years away. The elemental storm upon the birth of Timothy seems to have harmonized in some sort with the storm of human passion aroused over the slavery controversy. It may have been also premonitory of the stormy life Timothy was to live and in which he was to play a childish part, often weird in its lights and shadows. The childhood of the man is reflected always in the manhood of the child. The birth and childhood of Frederick Douglass, like those of Abraham Lincoln, were enveloped in mystery and tragedy, and these were strongly reflected in their temperaments and work as among the greatest and most useful men the Nation has produced.
Timothy was my spiritual son. He and I have been one from the beginning. What I say of him, therefore, I say of myself. Emanuel, who begat us, was never a father but always a friend and companion. He was an extraordinary man and played a very conspicuous part in the Reconstruction politics of Florida. He served as a member of the Constitutional Convention and the first four sessions of the legislature authorized by that convention. He was born of an Indian mother and an Irish father. His mother was, so tradition has it, the wife of Osceola, who was stolen from Micanoy and taken to West Florida, by Thomas Fortune, an Irish adven-
SIGMA CHI GIVES SMOKER
SIGMA CHI GIVES SMOKER
Sigma Chi, the summer chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, gave a smoker in honor of the graduate members at the fraternity house; 600 T street, northwest, Tuesday evening, July 11. Informal games of cards preceded the formal program. John P. Davis, international debater from Bates and Harvard, was master of ceremonies.
Henry Corruthers, Basileus of Sigma Chi, welcomed the guests, visitors and fraternity members present. The Omega song by Merger Cook was rendered by a special chorus led by Charles Drew. Kemneht Diamond played the piano accompaniment.
Dr. Charles Marshall spoke on the need of friendship. Nelson Nichols, Jr., read several poems from Langston Hughes' book, the Weary Blues. Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton made a sketch of the life and achievements of Colonel Young. Dr. Josey, Attorney Walter Mazyk and Dr. Ulysses Houston made remarks. Captain Arthur C. Newman made a brief address, as did Dr. Grant Lucas, William Hastle, 1925 president of Phi Beta Kappa at Amherst, closed the formal part of the program.
After the smoker, the gathering went to Harrison's Cafe for a prolonged celebration of comradship. The guests included men from the University of Paris, Harvard, Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams, Howard, Shaw, Union, Lincoln and other schools. The committee on arrangements was composed of John Davis, chairman, Henry Lincoln Johnson, and William Hastle.
turer, who thus caused the long and bloody Seminole war, which was brought to a close by General Andrew Jackson who conquered, Osceola, near Marianna. Osceola lost his life while seeking to recover his wife, who had been stolen and kidnapped. She had three children, two daughters and a son, for Fortune. After his mysterious death she was taken to wife by John Pope, who was also of mixed Seminole blood. He was one of the best and cleanest men I ever knew. His wife, Docia, gave him three sons and a daughter, but they resembled in nothing the two daughters and son she gave Thomas Fortune. He raised them all with such care as he could under the circumstances, and they all lived and reverenced him.
Two of John Pope's sons, Madison and Hammond, ran away and joined the Union army and fought for the freedom of their race all through the civil war. Madison settled in Boston after the war and came back to visit the old folks and childhood scenes once. He remained but a short time and then went back to Boston and we never heard of him again. Hammond faded from the family picture after he joined the army.
The family picture I have drawn is a familiar one among the millions produced out of the loose morality of the system of slavery. In my family there was the African, the Indian and the Jewish women and the Irish and half-breed Indian men, with the Jewish grandfather guilty of selling his daughter by the black woman into slavery in the same villages where he was a judge. I know, and so does Timothy, that when these race crosses meet in the flesh and fight for control of the one body common to them, he has to be a superman, indeed, who spiritually con-

VACATION JOYS OF CHILDREN AND MOTHERS AT CAMP PLEASANT
By Cecie R. Jenkins
(Editor of "Camp Pleasant
eekly")
Last Tuesday, July 12, just about noon, several cars and buses rolled into the shady hillside grounds at Camp Pleasant loaded with a happy throng of 125 children and mothers comprising the second party of the season as guests of the Summer Outings Committee. About 40 of the previous party being permitted to remain for the next period of two weeks, the total camp population at present is 160, the extreme limit of what can be properly accommodated with present equipment. The rest of the previous party had been taken home on Monday after a glorious two-weeks' stay in the great outdoors.
With this extra large party to provide for, the staff of camp workers had a very busy afternoon assigning campers to various tents, distributing fresh bedding, cots, etc. But at last all was adjusted and the whole camp population gathered in the new dining hall for supper and then early to bed to be ready for the first full day in camp. This is the regular routine for each day at Camp Pleasant; after rising bell at 6 o'clock, the period to 6:45 is free for dressing and preparing one's toilet. Prayers at 6:45 in the pavilion precede breakfast at 7 after which each camper returns at once to his or her tent with an hour and a half to get the living place in perfect order, at least to the satisfaction of the
quers and is able to assert his mastery of "the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
The people responsible for the cross of the black, white and red races in this country, are in very interesting and questionable business when they draw the race and color line on the sisters and brothers whom their fathers and grand-fathers mulattoized. If they hope to do so and get away with it they ignore the spiritual responsibility they voluntarily assumed when they accented Abraham for Father and the Bible for spiritual law.
The manchild, Timothy, came to life in a fierce storm of rain, thunder and lightning, and when the Nation was agitated in every state

workers who inspect the tents.
Then comes the morning health inspection so as to see that all are in good condition for the day's fun and frolic. The intervals to dinner at noon is given to games in the field or playground, swimming in the pool or hikes across fields and woods to the river, varied with music for some. Invigorated by these out-door activities, all come to the mid-day meal with keen zest for the substantial and well-cooked food, which is enjoyed as one big family along with the workers.
After dinner an hour and a half is set aside for quiet rest, which may vary as between sleeping, just resting, handcraft occupation or reading. Games are next in order, also swimming and hiking or music until time to wash up for supper. After supper there is another period for free play until the bell calls to prayers and singing in the open pavilion to 7:30, when all the children go to bed. The mothers stay on for their own pleasure at the pavilion until 9:30, when they too retire.
Every day is full of interest and variety on this general schedule and much of the joy and success of the camp is due to the efficient organization and work of the staff, as follows: Mr. Laura B. Glenn superintendent; J. H. Burr, assistant superintendent; Mrs. Emma Thornton, matron; Clarence Pendleton, head worker with the boys; Annabelle Thornton, head worker with the girls; Frances Cardoza, assistant worker with girls; Harold Lewis, bus driver; the volunteer workers are Catherine Cardoza, Pauline Hawkins, Vivian Jenkins, Ernestine Johnson, Glandora Moore, Grace Ridley, and the writer of this article.
to the fighting point on the question of slavery and the aggressions of the Slave Power on the privileges and immunities, the reserved rights, of the Free States. It was not a small thing I have found, to have been born in such a confusion of the elements and of human passions, and we shall get something of a bird's eye view of the development of the Afro-American of today out of slavery and Reconstruction days and horrors, as we go along with Timothy from 1865 to 1874, when his years as a manchild came to an end in the Magic City of Washington, and his life as a human began.

Kelly Miller in Addressing Western Audience Warns Against Any Assumption of Superiority on the Part of Others
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 14 (PCNB)—That the whole racial problem centers itself on the ability of the Negro to get away from his inferiority complex, was the message Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, Washington, D.C., delivered to a large audience here recently at the Trinity A. M. E. Church.
With his plea that his compatriots forget that they had once been trod upon, Prof. Miller warned against any assumption of superiority by others. The ideal to be striven for was one in which the racial virtues of the Negro could come to their highest level, he asserted.
Be Superior
Superiority and not equality should be the ideal for any race, he declared. "No race has all the superior claims: the Jewish, the Roman, the Greeks and the Nordic people all have had their well-founded claims in the betterment of civilization. None of them have possessed all the better qualities. The ideal for any race is not one of equality with other races, but to create something for itself and to give to civilization a certain culture that stamps the race as superior in that culture."
"If the new Negro does as well with his better advantages as the old Negro did with his limited ones, there will be a black race that is not only equal to the white one, but in some respects superior," stated Prof. Miller, whose articles on questions pertaining to the Negro have attracted attention in the leading periodicals.
W. E. L. Sanford, Mgr.
Show Starts:
Negro could establish race superiority, Prof. Miller said that the Negro had better opportunities in the country than in the city.
"In the city, the Negro is employed by others; on the farm he may produce something that the world wants. The tendency during the past twenty years has been for Negroes to swarm to the city. It would be better in many cases if they would go West and take up waste lands and make them of some use"
Prof. Miller is making a trip throughout the United States, talking to various racial groups and at the same time gathering material for further writings on the race problem. He will speak to Pacific Coast interracial audiences next week.
$20,000 IN PRIZES FOR BEST COMPLETION OF SCHUBERT'S UNFINISHED SYMPHONY
NEW YORK CITY—Attention has been called to the fact that the year 1928 marks the hundredth anniversary of the death of Franz Schubert, "the word's most beloved composer," through the recent announcement by the Columbia Phonograph Co. of the most astonishing contest in the history musical competitions. A total of $20,000 in prizes has been offered by the Columbia Co. for the best efforts of musicians throughout the world to finish Schubert's famous "Unfinished Symphony." The contest provisions are very liberal. An invitation to compete is extended to composers, teachers and students in twenty-six countries. The countries are divided into ten zones: United States; Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary, Jugo-Slavia and Rou

mania; Denmark, Sweden and Norway; France, Belgium and Switzerland; Germany and Holland; Great Britain; Italy; Poland, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland; Spain and Portugal; Russia and Ukrania.
In every zone there will be three awards made; first, $750; second $250; third, honorable mention.
To the best composition of the thirty winning zone awards, a grand prize of $10,000 will be given. Each zone will have a jury of award, and an international jury will meet in Vienna, composed of one man from each zone and an eleventh chosen in Vienna, and decide on the grand award. The contest opens in September 1927 and closes in July 1928.
The winning works will be played at concerts and over the radio, recorded on Columbia Masterworks Records, and thus the public will be given every opportunity to hear them.
The same committee which acted as an advisory body for Beethoven Week will act in the same capacity for the Schubert commeration, and as before, George Eastman will act as chairman.
MOVIE NEWS FROM THE COAST
PORTLAND, Ore.—(PCNB)—King Dodo, the Los Angeles pygmy, nineteen inches tall and fifty-six years old, who has for years been one of the chief attractions at the various Pacific Coast side show exhibits, recently died at Kalamath Falls, Ore. His real name was John Taylor. When the end came, Dodo was clasped in the arms of the sword, swallower, friends for years in the side show of which both were feature attractions.
HOLLYWOOD, Cal.—(PCNB) Regardeless of the fact that the best comedian on or off the screen is the American Negro, Warner Brothers, who are filming the first feature length comedy production calling for an entire Negro cast to be produced by any of the leading producers, have decided that the
time is not yet ripe for Negroes to be featured as stars, even in a Negro comedy situation with an exclusive Negro locale background. As a result, they have decided to star two white comedians, Tom Wilson and Heinie Conklin in black face roles, in "Ham and Eggs at the Front." For the military background, sets reproducing the French villages and front during the World War, have been built and over two hundred colored extras as Negro troops are used.
The action starts off in a Georgia town, the sets of which are now being built by studio manager William Koenig. Roy Del Ruth is the director, while the screen story is the work of Robert Dillon and Jimmy Starr.
HOLLYWOOD, Cal.—(PCNB)
A contract that will take "thru" the entire picture has been awarded Miss Daisy Bufford, now appearing as a bathing beauty in a Mack Sennett comedy directed by Eddie Cline.
It was the Mack Sennett comedies that made the bathing beauty famous and developed Gloria Swanson and several other stars.
Miss Bufford is a brown-skin beauty, and after but a year in pictures, is rapidly nearing the ton. The picture is as yet untitled.

SPEND YOUR MONEY IN THE RIGHT PLACE
Have you ever taken a survey of how many places you spend your money with and how many Negroes are employed where you spend it? There are thousands of places for you to spend your money—but how many of these places provide for you to make money for you to spend with them?
We, as race love, should look into this, for we will find that very few colored, people are working where we spend most of our money.
If Negroes are employees they are porters, truck drivers, janitors, or such. How about positions as bookkeepers, stenographers, shipping clerks, or other jobs for those who are qualified f r such in our race? What good is an education? We don't need it to become janitors and truck drivers. It is up to us to solve this problem, and we must get busy—not later on, but right now!
So in the city where you live, just inquire of those with whom you spend, "How many colored people do you employ?" Ask this when you are spending your money. And also find out what position they hold if they are employed.
Do you know why we have no more wealth among our people? It is simply because we do not support one another, but spend our money in such places that our money gets out of the race. We only handle and hold money but do not accumulate any as a whole. We should keep our money circulating in our own circles and businesses. Now don't misunderstand me. I am not boycotting the white places of business, simply asking for positions where the business is supported by colored people. Any place of business where the business is over 75 per cent colored trade should at least employ 25 per cent colored. That is why I say that the moving picture industry is the only big thing for us. We would not only give employment to thousands of our own people, but the screen would show the Negro as he is and not as he was. It is up to us to boost and demand colored pictures in colored theatres—that is a short but sound way for us to gain recognition. And just to think—you can become part owner of $ r million dollar organization and can get a job there. You would be working for yourself with a chance to ad-
vance. You never will advance from a porter or janitor working as such for a white man. So I again say that a million dollar picture corporation will not only make history for our people—it will also make money for all concerned. Boost colored pictures, but such pictures must be bigger and better—something we are not ashamed of. We can do it, we must do it.
I have almost got things where we can start a picture in which we are going to play fifteen hundred people in this first big super-production. I am working for you, and it is as little as you can do to help me. Will you do that by demanding colored theatres to play colored pictures?

"CAPTAIN SALVATION" AT THE REPUBLIC
The romance of the old days when men braved the sea in square-rigged ships—when hardships and hardtack were the sailor's lot; when a glorious romance gilded the terrific struggle of man against the elements these are the things that are echoed in "Captain Salvation" the man who found God, which will play at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 17, 18, 19 and 20. "Captain Salvation" is a sage of adventure; a story of strong, sometimes brutal men, in a strong, sometimes brutal calling; a play so gripping that it leaves the audience fairly grasping in its intensity, and dominated by the character, "Captain Salvation" a lawless adventurer who feared neither God, man nor devil.
For the second time in his career, Lars Hanson, the noted Sweedish actor, is playing the roles of a minister in "Captain Salvation." It was as a minister that Hanson made his American screen debut with Lillian Gish in "The Scarlet Letter." Hanson does an intensely interesting piece of work in "Captain Salvation" a divinity student forsaking the pulpit for the sea, and Pauline Starke is a vivid creature as Bess Morgan, the charmer, who lured but finally saved him. Marceline Day makes a charming sweetheart. One of the most outstanding figures is Ernest Torrence, as the brutal sea captain, laughing while men went to torture, gloating as they screamed their agonies on his hell-ship.
"Captain Salvation" is a super-special picture.
special picture.
Bearing the unmistakable Gene Stratton-Porter touch that the greatest woman writer always imbued into her work, a gripping screen version of her last novel, "The Magic Garden" will be shown at the Republic on Thursday and Friday, July 21 and 22. In many respects, this is by far Mrs. Porter's greatest story; it is an irresistible drama of a mighty love, glittering with all the supreme wonder of this wonder woman's enchanted pen, love born amid the witchery of an old-fashioned garden—flowering in the romantic palaces of historic Venice—attaining its full splendor when the girl and the boy meet again—and forever—in "The Magic Garden." If you like all that is fine and beautiful, see Gene Stratton-Porter's "The Magic Garden." Two newcomers to the screen. Margaret Morris and Ravmond Keane enact his leading roles.
"Her Father Said No" is the title of the feature picture for Saturday, July 23. Mary Brian, Al Cooke, Kit Guard and little Frankie Darro are in the cast. Big talent bill at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30.

Mr. Fields is seen in the role of Pa who is a hard working stenographer who suddenly decides to get out of the rut and plunges all of his money in oil stocks.

Footlights
By "Mae"
The second edition of "The Kentucky Club Revue," playing the Howard Theatre this week does not approach the standard of the first edition which played here some time ago. However, you can't lose by seeing the show, because it's worth the price of admission to hear "the human mocking bird" sing "It All Depends on You," alone. And she does really sing it. Why, hearing her almost made me believe something did depend on even me. (But, oh how wrong I discovered I was after I was freed from the rapture of her voice!) And who is this singer? Really, don't you know? It's Blanche Thompson, who has entranced the audiences at Howard several times before, and who, too, has been one of the members of the Smart Set company.
The rest of the show is fair. Perhaps it could even be called good if it were not compared with the first edition of the same revue. But such comparison puts this one in an unfavorable light.
Another feature of the show, however, which remains as good as before with an addition which even enhances it somewhat, is the team of Radcliffe, Radcliffe and Clifton. Clifton, a super dancer, and a fairly good singer, was not with the team when it played here before.
Clifton's dancing is really good, and Mabel Nickels makes an acceptable partner for him in the number where they dance, together.

Radcliffe is what might be termed, in football lingo, a triple threat man. He can dance, he sings very well, and he is actually funny. His unique rendition of "Cherie" in two voices, one a falsetto, was very pleasing to the audience.
The other Radcliffe, in fact Mrs. Radcliffe, is a tap-dancer of ability. Other stars of the show are Fritz and Jazzlips, Jr., Frazier and Banks, Mary Prevall, and E. E. Pugh.
The show is produced by Leonard Harper, who has gathered together a sure-nuff good-looking chorus. Yes sir, the girls are "jam-up."
At the Lincoln Theatre, Percy Colston and Archie Cross are attempting to thrill the audiences. Their success in doing so is more or less problematical. Though both have good voices, either they lack stage personality or they lack the knowledge of just how to put their songs over.
I had a new experience last week at the Republic Theatre, with the manager-in-name-only. I was going into the theatre with a view of seeing if anything different was coming off so that I could give menton in this column. But when I started pass the ticket collector, who brazenly informed me he was the "manager of this house." I was told that my press pass and the fact that I wrote the theatrical news for the paper meant nothing in his managerial life of collecting tickets; and that I'd have to pay if I wanted to get inside.
In the absence of the gentlemen who manage the show (to they have bested the title elsewhere), I paid the price. But I surely intend seeing the active managers, I want to find out if such action has been ordered because I haven't been able to fill this column with news of that theatre. It certainly hasn't been because I haven't wanted to; or as I've already said, I was on my way into the theatre then to see what was happening that would make good reading, and at the same time, perhaps, induce another person or two to go to that show.
But I certainly do not like the idea of being humiliated in my attempts to get the "dope."
Our Ethel Waters blazed a new trail on Broadway, at Daly's 63rd Street Theatre, in "Africana," Monday night.
According to the New York critics, the show has excellent possibilities. Ethel Waters, alone, they say, is worth the price of admission. It is a "real, hot, fast-moving revue," says Robert Coleman in the Mirror review.
Ethel is given credit, along with Florence Mills, as being the finest colored artist on the stage today. She sang "My Special Friend," "Dinah," and "Take Your Black Bottom Dance Outside."

The Howard Theatre management takes great pleasure in presenting this new revue for the approval of its patrons, in turn, the patrons should not hesitate in seeing this production as in it are some of the best known colored vaudeville stars now on the stage.

and Wednesday, the photoplay,
"Remember," featuring Dorothy
Phillips. This photoplay is unusual in
plot, rare with strange and dramatic
situations. It is a story of
fickle and true love with one man
being the object of two women's
affections. Manlike he surrenders
heart in hand, blindly to the frivolous one until, fate steps in and with war in its bitter struggles
come blindness and other after effects. In his darkness comes the realization that he has been blinded to true love and devotion. The situations that go to make up this production of tangled romance, war and love will make it a drama that you too will long remember.
On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will be seen "Rich Men's Sons," with Shirley Mason and Ralph Graves, this is society's colorful drama with millionaires' sons who prefer the life of ease to that of hard work and labor, and as usual in such dramas the millionaire disinherits his son and forces him to shift for himself in hopes that it will make a better man of him. To see how this boy struggles hard in the steel mills and regains the once cherished position in his father's home. One position in his father's home is a rare treat.
On Friday night beginning at 12:15 sharp, the regular midnight ramble will be held and we assure the patrons of two and one-half hours of real entertainment. Seats for the midnight ramble will be on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday the week before the show.
