INSANE; TR
AT ST. EL
A jury in the circuit court last Friday found Amplias H. Glenn, retired head of the department of languages of the colored high schools, mentally unbalanced. He was committed to the St. Elizabeth's hospital for the insane for treatment. Chief Justice McCoy presided.
There was no testimony that his mind was affected. Dr. Percy D. Hickling, District alienist, testified that Mr. Glenn was suffering from chorea, a physical ailment commonly called St. Vitus dance. He said that Mr. Glenn was unable to care for himself and is in need of treatment.
Mrs. Glenn told the jury that her husband was without means. She said that he had no property. He has not disposed of any property since his commitment to St. Elizabeth's for 'mental observation, she said, for the reason that he had none. She also stated that she thought he needed treatment.
Glenn Testifies
Mr. Glenn himself testified. He said that since he had been taken to St. Elizabeth's, everybody there had been kind to him and he felt he had been benefitted. He stated that he thought the treatment would do him good and that he would like to be treated. His desire, he said, is to get well and return to his home. He was not represented by counsel.
Neither Dr. A. M. Curtis nor Dr. Algernon B. Jackson was present. They together with Mrs. Glenn and Mrs. Inez Bruce signed the certificate having Mr. Glenn committed to the asylum for observation. Chief Justice McCoy ruled that it was not necessary for either of the physicians to testify. Mr. Glenn was committed to St. Elizabeth's hospital for mental observation July 16. He was retired from the public schools February 2. last. He is a graduate of Oberlin College. He was appointed a teacher of languages in the old M Street High School in 1904. In 1906 he was promoted to the head of the department of languages of he colored high schools. His retirement was on account of physical disability.

COMMISSIONERS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGHLAND BEACH DISCRIMINATION
HIGHLAND BEACH, Md., Aug. 25.—Responsibility for the illegal stopping of persons entering this summer resort and the questioning of them about their destination rests with the town commissioners who are carrying out the will of the residents, Mayor Edwin B. Henderson said in an interview yesterday.
He declared, however, that he is opposed to discrimination in public places, based on color. He said that he had no knowledge of gambling here. He admitted that use of the beach is restricted to residents and their house guests and suggested that persons wishing to bathe in Chesapeake Bay at this point register in one of the two hotels.
Highland Beach is a summer colony of the fashionable set from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Altoona. Pa. It is an incorporated town. It has a commission form of government. Its commissioners are Mayor Edwin B. Henderson, Haley G. Douglass, Dr. Milton A. Francis, Norman D. Murray and Mrs. James E. Walker. It has its cottages, modest and palatial. It has two hotels, Ware's Hotel and the McKinley Manor.
Charge Discrimination Recently there has been an attempt to prevent ordinary folks from entering the corporate limits. They were told that only residents or their guests had the right to use the streets. These persons charge that they were discriminated against because of a lack of ancestry, color, or social standing.
This is not the first controversy that has waged about this town. There have been others. One concerned the right of the city commissioners to have trees in the streets cut down. Another was similar to the present controversy. It was over the rights of the property owners to the use of the beach. In that dispute the commissioners took the view that the sale of lots with reference to a plat, on which appeared streets and the beach, has the effect of devoting the beach to the public use as an avenue. This was in accordance with a decision of the Maryland Supreme Court. The commissioners now are inclined to the view that the beach is privately owned by Haley G. Douglass, Dr. Milton A. Francis and O. T. Taylor.
The Mayor's Statement
In his interview Mayor Henderson said:
"Restrictions exist in all municipalities and developments of one kind or another. The commissioners at Highland Beach at the request of the citizens voted several years ago that there should be no bathing from automobiles and no picnicking on the beach. This was done because the beaches are privately owned and implied contracts for their use exist between the seller of the lots and the purchasers.
"There are no public comfort stations. Hence, picnickers and auto bathers, many of whom come to stay all day, become public charges and often nuisances. There is no provision for the public care of trash, bottles and other debris left by picnickers. Years ago there were bath houses on the beach and a charge for the suit and use provided for this care. There is only a small fund allotted for policing the town, and the few county deputy sheriffs we have had appointed are gratuitous workers. Therefore, the question of maintaining order in the case of big excursions and picnic parties is a cause for limited use of the beach.
"There are two hotels here operated under the laws of the State of Maryland and the house guests of either hotel may use the beach. Therefore any person who visits Highland Beach for the purpose of bathing in the bay should register at a hotel or be a guest of some (Certified on page 4).
COLORED AIRMEN ARE DISQUALIFIED IN RACE TO HAWAII IN ISLANDS
BROTHERHOOD TO CARRY FIGHT TO EMERG'NCY BO'RD
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, returns here to plunge into the work of planning to push the Brotherhood's case to the Emergency Board. According to Randolph, there are three remedies under the Railway Labor Act for the settlement of the dispute; 1. mediation board; 2. arbitration board; 3. emergency board. Since mediation failed and the Pullman Company refused to arbitrate the case, which is a violation of the Railway Labor Act, and is contrary to the policy adopted by any of the other railroad carriers, the next step is to establish an emergency condition so as to require action by the Emergency Board, which is appointed by the President.
During mediation under the supervision of Hon. Edwin P. Morrow, the Pullman Company claimed that the Brotherhood did not represent the Pullman porters but that the Company Union did inasmuch as the Company Union, known as the Employee Representation Plan, was voted for by eighty-five per cent of the men. This contention was met by the Brotherhood when Randolph presented 1000 affidavits to the mediator showing that the men voted for the Company Union under coercion and intimidation, which was a violation of the Railway Labor Act.
Employees Contrat
"When the Emergency Board is invoked," says Randolph, "Hon. Edwin P. Morrow will be required to appear and testify before the board to the effect that he used his offices, which was his duty under the Act, to induce both parties to the dispute, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company, respectively, to submit said dispute to arbitration; that the Brotherhood advised him that they were ready and willing and desired to submit the dispute to arbitration, and the Pullman Company advised him that there was nothing, to arbitrate, that they had a contract with their employees.
Defied Law
"This will materially strengthen the case of the Brotherhood against the Pullman Company since it will show that the union, in harmony with the spirit and principle of the Act, was ready to arbitrate the dispute, whereas the Pullman Company, which, being a member of the Association of Railway Executives, which together with the Standard railroad Unions initiated and agreed upon the legislation, was morally bound to stand by it and submit to arbitration as other railroad carriers have done, flatly defied the law."
Randolph and Totten are planning to proceed forthwith on a nation-wide campaign tour to present the present situation of the case of the Pullman porters in particular and the public in general. Their trip will take them from coast to coast and into every Pullman district.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 26 (PNS)—The House of Representatives of Alabama, by a record vote of 32 to 1 passed the Tompkins anti-flogging bill Tuesday. The bill passed after a bitter fight between Representative Tompkins and advocates of the Goodwyn measure (a substitute) which would also make wearing a mask in public illegal.

BAY ISLAND FARM, Oakland, Calif. Aug. 25 (PCNB)—The national aspirations of 12,000,000 black Americans to have one of their number among the participants in the famous Hawaiian air flight, was blasted through the failure of the two colored prospective entrants to pass on Rule A of the qualification tests, which made it imperative that "every entry who contemplates the flight alone must be a licensed navigator as well as a pilot," and Rule B which states that "every entry who is not a navigator must secure one."
Secures Certificates
Of the, two colored aviators named as possible entries, William E. Swaggery of San Francisco, was the only one listed among the long list of entries officially recorded by Frank A. Flynn, secretary of the Citizens Trans-Pacific Flight Committee of which James J. Rolph, Mayor of San Francisco is honorary chairman.
Plane Named "Parco Flyer"
The plane selected for Swaggery's use was a Breese monoplane with a wing area of 260 feet, gasoline capacity 380 gallons and equipped with a Wright whirlwind motor.
Swaggerty while affiliated with aeronautics since 1910 and said to be the only colored mechanic over connected with Lincoln Beachy, the stunt flyer who was killed at the World's Fair at San Francisco in 1915, was not a licensed navigator, and being unable to secure one on such a short notice was forced to withdraw from the flight.
Major Irving Selected
Major Livingston Irving, well-known aviator, was selected to pilot the plane which was named "Parco Flyer" in honor of his friends and employees of the Parrafine Co. of San Francisco, who raised the money that purchased the ship.
At 12:11 p.m. on the day of the start of the Hawaiian flight, Major Irving was given the flag. Gaining momentum speedily, the only Negro pilot in the race, taxied for a take off, but his weight was against him. The ship bumped up and down six times in all and finally came down to stay.
Undaunted the Major began re-'Continued on page 4, column

ELKS PARADE IN DRIZZLING RAIN;
10,000 IN LINE
By Louis R. Lautier
NEW YORK, Aug. 24—In a drizzling rain, 10,000 Elks paraded through the streets of Harlem Tuesday afternoon.
It was one of the largest, most colorful and spectacular parades ever staged by the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. There were 27 brass bands, 5 of which were women's bands leading the drill teams of the temples.
The unifrons were gorgeous. The men mostly wore tuxedoes. Some were white with purple factions, some wore regular tuxedo coats with white trousers having purple braids on the sides, still others wore white uniforms with capes lined with purple. The women's costumes were of the same colors.
Along the line of march the greatest crowd ever to witness an Elks' parade stood for two hours as the procession passed. People thronged the sidewalks, they also filled the windows of large apartment houses. They even stood on the roofs to catch a glimpse of the marchers.
"Blondy" is Grand Marshal
The plaque was headed by Joseph (Blondy) Brown, the grand marshal. In an automobile behind him came the grand exalted ruler, J. Finley Wilson; grand legal adviser, Perry W. Howard, and Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. They were followed by a squad of New York police on foot.
Manhattan Lodge with its band and marching club followed. Monarch and Imperial lodges and their temples, bands and marching clubs, were next in line. Other New York lodges completed the first division.
The second division was composed of lodges and temples with their marching clubs and drill teams from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Ohio. In the third division were the lodges and temples from Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oregon and Panama.
The fourth division included lodges from Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and the rest of the country. Floats and decorated automobiles constituted the fifth division.
First Meeting Tuesday
The grand lodge was called to Order by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson Tuesday morning. The grand temple was called to order by Grand Daughter Ruler Ella G. Berry. Nothing but routine business was transacted. Committees were appointed.
In the grand lodge the ordentials committee made a partial report, showing possibly 900 delegates in attendance. A number of addresses were made.
The grand lodge sessions were resumed Wednesday morning. Reports of grand lodge officers were made.
The election of officers will probably be held Thursday. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson is favored for re-election for a sixth term. J. Dalmus Steele is the leading candidate against him. Others who will probably be nominated include Judge Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia, George McMechen of Baltimore and George Wibecan of Brooklyn. Mr. McMechen and Mr. Wibecan are former grand exalted rulers.
"Do not Choose, etc."
Paraphrasing the language of a President Coolidge, Judge Henry declared Tuesday morning that "I do not choose to run for grand exalted ruler." This does not mean

J. F. HOLLAND TELLS OF N. CARO. IMPROVEMENTS
J. F. Holland of 1919 Eleventh street, northwest, and family have just returned from an extended tour throughout the State of North Carolina. Mr. Holland said, "The changes in the state as a whole, are the most unusual I have ever witnessed. Rural sections heretofore known because of their run down conditions, worn out soil, neglected machinery, and unkempt inhabitants, have suddenly taken on an air of prosperity as the result of modern farming methods. The roads throughout the state have been improved to such an extent that they compare favorably with those of any other section in America. "Even more remarkable than the civic improvements are the additions in educational facilities, especially for Negroes. I found more than 300 teachers in attendance at Teachers' College, Winston-Salem. "Another institution that is rapidly increasing its attendance, is Professor Griffin's School at High Point. The Agricultural and Technical College at Greensbroto, continues to make improvements in its already excellent plant. As far as Rockingham and Charlotte the whole Negro population seems to be in the throes of an awakening in all deucational and civic affairs."
Mr. Holland further stated that his tour was encouraging not alone because of the improvements noted, but because these improvements prove conclusively what may be done for a state and its people, if the sovereign state considers the needs of all its inhabitants and not the needs of any selected group.
that he is out of the race. It depends upon developments. The opposition to -Mr. Wilson, plan to run as many candidates as will draw votes away from the present grand exalted ruler.
Robert J. Nelson of Wilmington, Del., is being groomed to run against Grand Secretary George E. Eates. T. Tiffany Tolliver is a candidate against Grand Treasurer James T. Carter. Both incumbents are favored for re-election. C. M. Hanson of Imperial Lodge is a candidate against Judge William C. Hueston for commissioner of education.

IS RACE PREJUDICE IN-
SANITY?
We had occasion recently to make reference in these columns to Edward Franklin Frazier's article in the Forum for June, entitled, "The Pathology of Race Prejudice," wherein he analyzes the race prejudice of Southern white people and concludes that it is due to insanity. Mr. Frazier is a Negro and is specially equipped as an investigator of social conditions.
The article referred to has called forth a reply from Sam W. Small, Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, and also "protests" from Julia S. Lucky, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Thomas N. Meriwether, Fountain Head, Tenn.; and Rufus Hardy, Corsicana, Texas. Small's reply and these protests appear in the Forum for September.
One of the protestants, Julia S. Lucky, says that Mr. Frazier's article "contained such a gratuitous insult to Southern people" that she has been "tempted to cancel" her subscription to the Forum.
Another of the protestants, Thomas N. Meriwether, asks space "to express just indignation aroused by a libelous article," and advises Mr. Frazier to "come South and visit" among our representative citizens, get acquainted," etc. The Texas protestant, Rufus Hardy, states that "the White people of the South do not believe in the intermarriage of the Whites and the Blacks." He further says that he is willing "for any white man to entertain and preach intermingling of the races and intermarriage of Whites and Blacks in his own country, but not in ours." If there is not something in these protests indicative of mental aberration and incoherence we are greatly mistaken.
The reply of Sam W. Small is devoid of excitement and hysteria. He admits that there is race prejudice against the Negro among Southern people. He says it needs no apology. He thinks that Negroes are not lynched because of their race; that lynching is nowhere an act of insanity and that Negroes are lynched because of their crimes, "and not because of their color." Mr. Small sums up the whole matter as follows:
"The conclusion must be that, in the South at least, as long as white is white, and black is not white, the race prejudice that preserves our system of civilization from social equality of the races will be adamantine."
There you have it. A "civilization" must be preserved and "social equality" must be prevented. Mr. Small does not undertake to define either civilization or social equality. Probably he can define neither. Nobody has ever yet done so satisfactorily. Guizot, a great French historian and publi-
MUSIC FORUM
LOCAL TALENT TO APPEAR IN A SERIES OF MUSICALES
A group of local music talent sponsored by one of our music schools in the northwest section will begin a series of musical programs in September continuing through the season in the various churches and filling, possibly, one or two out-of-town engagements. It is interesting from the standpoint of local pride the interest already manifested in the talent that will attempt to show their wares in voice and instrumental music.
The enterprising group includes, vocal: Misses Laura A. Petaway, Catherine Harrison, Madames Marie Snowden, Hazel Luck, Lena L Young; pianoforte, Miss Alice Peters and Mrs. Edith B. Dade; violin, Edgar Redmond. This group should certainly put on a good musical program, and our citizens could do no better thing than to show their appreciation and interest in them and their effort to entertain.
They are products of some of our best homes and there is no good reason why music lovers should hesitate to go and hear them since they are "home talent." Civic pride has always been questioned and it is generally conceded that it is found wanting in this city. To a great extent the indictment is probably true as you may know. Oftimes we will crowd out a house when some popular out-of-town talent comes to us. That is proper as a matter of interest and local pride, but when the time comes to give our own local talent a hearing we fall them many times too often.

IN- cist, has written a volume in which he attempts to define civilization in Europe, but he admits the difficulty of the task. Doubtless, Mr. Small would be equally frank.
If the white people of the United States may be designated as civilized, so may the Negroes. Our contention is, and always will be, that there should be no discrimination based upon race, among civilized people. We believe this principle to be entirely sound in law and in morals. The whole world is moving toward the acceptance of this principle, and we feel sure that the South cannot resist a world movement, and there are indications that even Southern white people are not altogether impervious to the inevitable.
JUSTICE IN THE COURTS
The confession of Sadie Mendil, a white woman, that she committed a murder, for which Maurice Mays, a Negro, was electrocuted at Knoxville, Tennessee, a few years ago, serves to call attention, along with the Sacco-Vanzetti case, to the administration of justice by the courts in the United States.
It is a fact that hardly any sane man will dispute, that a Negro is found guilty upon evidence upon which a white person charged with the same crime would be acquitted. That has been true for many years and is true now. It is especially true in cases where white women are involved.
We recall the circumstances of the case wherein Maurice Mays was tried, convicted, sentenced and executed. A white woman had been killed. It was said that circumstances pointed to Mays as the perpetrator of the crime. That was enough, at least in a country where race prejudice is written into Constitutions, statute books and court decisions. There are twenty-nine states in the United States whose statute books contain laws making distinctions on account of race. Our federal statutes contain distinctions of the same kind.
Any fair minded person must concede that justice between man and man, and man and state, can not exist where distinctions of race have been written into law.
In the Sacco-Vanzetti case, the evidence of prejudice was hardly as strong as in the case of Negroes in some of the states, and yet some of the best and most intelligent members of the human race believe that these two Italians did not get a fair trial—that they were convicted largely because of their race and opinions. Their case and the case of Mays should appeal to all upright, fair-minded men as occasions for looking into the moral constitution of our country.
Much good talent lose their identity locally merely because opportunities are denied them from time to time. We find the theaters opening their doors to them, then why cannot other avenues be opened to them in their quest for larger development and service? Are we to give them bread and deny water? Are we to give them a musical education and deny them a place in the sun? Are we to give them adverse criticism and deny a just opportunity which is theirs by right?
Not only is music a refining process, a cultural adjunct and an educational asset in life, but as well it is a means of entertainment, a spiritual essence and mental generator that puts a thrill in one's being. Kreisler, noted violinist said that "unless one feels a thrill upon hearing music it does not reach him"—and that much is very true. One does not study music for self alone even though the study is a medium of gradual enlargement of character and refinement. Music primarily is a means to an end, that of developing the esthetic sense of the material and the spiritual emotion of the immortal part.
Consequently, the effort of this particular group to entertain our local citizenry is both pleasing and encouraging in that they seek to enlarge their own musical repertoire, their own musical vision and their own desire to render service well. Their opening engagement will be at Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood, Rev. Leon Wormly, pastor, followed by Greater Calvary Baptist Church, Thirty-first street, near M street, northwest, and Salem Baptist Church, N street between Ninth and Tenth streets, northwest.
Several engagements are pending which will be announced later and churches desiring a recital will please communicate with the editor of this column.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I have followed with much interest during the past two weeks, the articles appearing in our colored newspapers with regard to the activities of a certain class of people at Highland Beach to exclude from that locality those they term as being undesirables, and which in this case, as in many others, mean those of the Negro race with dark skins. From the description given of this class who seeks to exclude, my conscience tells me without a doubt that they are what we may call "the fays" or the Negroes with light skins, who seek superiority over the others.
In the outset, were it not for this class of people (the fays), I am reasonably certain that there would be no segregation between the white and colored races. Do the N. A. A. C. P. orators speak of these conditions when they make great speeches on "Segregation between the white and colored races"?
Here is one of the reasons why the white man can laugh in our faces when he has viewed the conditions existing in our own race, and we complain of being segregated by him.
Charity begins at home and when conditions in our own race are remedied, then we may go with clean hands to the white race and demand better treatment.
We will first notice segregation in our race in the schools. This is unquestionably true in the leading high schools of this city. The fays seem to remain aloft from those with dark skins and this is especially true at the dances, entertainments and other social functions. There is a feeling that a person having a dark skin is inferior and consequently, there is very little associating of the two factions. Dances were established sometime ago which sought to include only those of the "fay" class; everywhere, the "fay" class of Negroes seem to think themselves superior.
In the Recorder of Deeds' office, there is a chosen "fay" class; in many of the college fraternities, there is a chosen "fay" class, but they are all Negroes to the white man. On U street we see the so-called "fay" walking arm in arm, sneering and passing insinuating remarks upon those having dark skins. The sooner the Negro race is cleaned of this class of people, the better. There are just as many, if not more, decent, respectable dark skinned persons of the Negro face who can take the place (and upon God's earth.
hold it) of any "fay" anywhere
There is no doubt but that the
so-called system of "pull" got a
lot of these "fay" teachers in the
public school system and the
sooner some of those with dark
skins who came out ahead in their
classes are put there, the better
it will be for our children who
are there to learn and not to see
more fashion than lessons.

Therefore, those who seek to exclude the members of the Negro race with dark skins, may you remember the words of the you remember. He among you without sin let him cast the first stone. I doubt seriously whether any of those of the "fay" class could cast the first stone. The day is coming when the door will be opened and what we shall find among the discriminators will be just too bad. They who seek to exclude may find themselves the undesirables.

CHAPTER VI
W. R. TILLMAN
EDITOR'S NOTE — "Fay" and
"ofay" are slang words used by
Negroes when referring to white
people. The words are never used
in reference to Negroes. The current
slang for white-colored Negroes are "high yallers" and
"pumkin seed."
It's a Durn Shame
The whole town is with you in fighting *segregation among Negroes. It is a durn shame! Their business around town and their professional calls should be boycotted. Let us be found to be truly undesirables by our race, before we are condemned.
CONVENTION OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED COOKS AND WAITERS HARRISBURG, Pa.—Among the speakers in the four-days' annual convention of the National Association of Colored Cooks and Waiters held here August 23, 24, 25, and 26, were George W. Blount, field secretary for the Cheyney State Normal School at Cheyney, Pa., who in the course of his address said in part:
"You cooks, waiters and porters deserve great praise for the high grade of educated and trained service you are constantly rendering throughout this colony. The daily service you are rendering is forming a wonderful and most valuable connecting link between white and colored people. You are earnestly serving the cause of Negro education as well as constantly building better race relations, inter-racial good-will and cooperation for all of us.
"In all of your service, getting, profiting, and prospering, don't forget to keep your children in schools, high schools, normal schools, colleges and universities until they are educated and trained to take their rightful positions of useful service, intelligent and helpful citizenship. Don't forget to get and save some of this world's goods that will in turn serve you and your dependents on a "rainy day."
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF—
Have you ever thought how much more appropriate it would be to publish your cards of thanks, notices, and memoirs in papers that "your" friends and acquaintances read?
KIDDIES' CORNER
Checkers Finds His Parents
The following morning, the sun found its way through the drawn curtains of the room in which our hero lay with a sprained arm. Checkers propped himself upon his pillows and sighed. Oh, for a loving mother to come in and hug him and breathe, "My son,—son!" Our hero tried to think of something else—something to drive the loneliness out of his heart. The door opened and Mr. Fairfax entered. "Why, good morning, Sir Adventurer—how do you feel this morning?" Checkers smiled back, "I'm feeling more like Checkers this time." Mr. Fairfax threw his head back, displaying a set of perfect teeth. He sat on the edge of the bed and surveyed Checkers' bandaged arm. He said, "Bud, d'ye think you feel well enough to continue our journey to New York by rail?"
Without writing down Checkers' reply, you can guess what it was. Mr. Fairfax danced a jig, while Checkers laughed heartily.
At twelve noon, a large Packard automobile pulled up to a stop in front of the long red station of Tulle. A lithe figure of a man stepped out followed by that of a brown-skinned lad with a bandaged arm. The two walked into the deserted station, followed by a chauffer who was loaded with handbags. They were Mr. Fairfax and Checkers. The two sat down on a bench. The man said to the lad, "Checkers, I have a surprise in store for you, when the train pulls in, you will close your eyes and allow me to guide you." Ten minutes of suspense went slowly by for our hero, when he heard the shriek of the famous coast-to-coast limited as it approached around the curve. Checkers closed his eyes, as Mr. Fairfax snickered. The train came to a stop in front of the station. Our hero was led down the platform to the end of the train. He was told to open his eyes, and when he did so, there stood in front of him, a car on which was painted in gilted letters his name! Checkers gasped. Thus he was when the porter helped him up the steps.
Entering the coach, Checkers rubbed his eyes and stared in a bewildered fashion for there stood Mr. Vincent's! He came forward and patted Checkers on the head. "My boy—I know you'd get all right!" Checkers cried, "Mr. Tom—well! well! well! how on earth did you get on this train?" Admist handshakes and laughter, Mr. Vincent's managed to tell Checkers, "Well, when you crashed in the plane the other day, the California papers were full of it and how you managed to capture those two birds, so Jack," nodding to Mr. Fairax, "wired me last night to charter this special car and have it attached to the limited and I boarded it at midnight last night and—here I am!
The three, hand in hand, danced around the table to the tune of "Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here." Then Mr. Vincent's said to our beaming hero, "The car is at your disposal, you may do what you wish."
Checkers sat down in one of the easy chairs. With tears of joy in his eyes he watched the station of Tulle grow smaller and smaller in the distance. He sighed, "Phew, I'm glad that much is over." This was said loud enough to be heard, much to the amusement of the two men, who had settled down to a game of bill-ards.
Between Tulle and Cleveland, Checkers had valked the full length of the train, two or three times. When Cleveland was lost in the dusk of the evening, the train doubled its speed. In Checkers' coach, seated at the table were Mr. Vincent, Mr. Fairfax and Checkers who toyed with their refreshments. Checkers spoke up." "Believe me, this is life!"
Mr. Fairfax said, "I think aeroplane riding beats this," with a wink at Mr. Vincent's.
Checkers made a wry face at the tickled pair, who exploded with laughter.
Reaching their destination the three stepped down off the steps of the car. Out of the crowd there came a couple who hastened after the vanishing three. The man called out, "Jack—Jack! just one moment!" Checkers wheeled around at the call of the name he had almost forgotten. The couple ran up. "Didn't you hear me calling when you stepped off the car?" asked the man.
The lady wheeled around to Checkers, who doffed his hat. "You don't mean to tell me you are Checkers, that so much has been published about?" she asked, smiling.
Checkers responded, "Why yes, I am called Checkers."
I am called Checkers—
Checkers' two companions had
by this time turned their attention
to Checkers.
The man who accompanied the
lady stepped forward and stood
heartily kissing Checkers.
With tears in her eyes she unclasped
Checkers, she looked at him and
said slowly, "Oh—my boy—don't
you understand? I'm your mother."
Checkers gasped. "My mother!
—you?" he cried out joyously.
He gathered her in his arms,
smothering her with kisses. When
he released her, she turned to the
sobbing man next to her, "And
this is your own good old dad!"
With his arms around our hero's
shoulders he said, "My boy—my
own son!"
The scene that followed was one

The Christmas holidays had always been among the most gala for the young and old folks of the country districts of the county, as it was the time of year when the sunset was warm and the animals were laughed for the year. "Cane grinding time" appealed to the youngsters as a holiday full of sweets, and the older ones also took part and rejoiced in the hunting of the opossum and other wild game, mostly at night, and fishing. Many of the youngsters of the village had been allowed to go up-country and spend the Christmas holidays with relatives on the plantations but Timothy had never been allowed to do so, as he was too young.
The second Christmas week after freedom he was allowed to do so. He had grown to be a wide-a-wake youngster, very much alive to country life and its many pastimes, which he had watched with his developing years and yearned to share to the full.
He went to the Russ plantation, where he had a lot of kinfolks and where he was very much at home. He stopped with Uncle John, and there were plenty of children with whom he could make merry. The country eating was the best possible, with plenty of fish and wild game, and he never got his fill of chewing cane and drinking hot syrup in the process of becoming sugar (raw brown sugar, the only sort in common use in those days), and what youngster ever did get his fill of such! Fishing in the many ponds and small streams was great sport, but the thing Timothy yearned most for was to go 'possum hunting. He had always heard that that was the greatest of things that go along with Christmas holidays.
Possum hunts usually get under way about at the midnight hour. Uncle John made up his party of six, including Timothy, the night after Timothy reached the plantation, and Timothy's first experience in hunting 'possum was begun. He was all excitement and enthusiasm and felt as frolics as the dogs, who do know what the sport is and take a human interest in it. Dogs have lots of sense, with no instinct about it, just as some folks have, and I have often thought that dogs may be folks but can't tell us they are, except by their actions, which are often very human.
They had not gone far from the plantation before the dogs gave the signal that they had struck a trail. It led straight to the plantation graveyard. The 'possum took to a small ack. When routed from this he took to a larger one, and then, routed again, he made for a large tree in the graveyard. Uncle John decided to cut the tree down. Meanwhile the men and the dogs showed that they felt funny about the whole business from the beginning, a graveyard 'possum being regarded as a spirit and hard to capture. The dogs stood off in the direction the tree should fall, and when it fell they rushed for the prey, howling and whining in a most piteous way, but the 'possum eluded them for the third time, and Uncle John decided it was enough. His superstition took charge of him, and he was over-ruled by the others.
"You can't have no luck when you start off wid a graveyard 'possum foolin' you," he said, with a shake of the head.
They got up into the persimmon district of the plantation where there were plenty of opossums. The dogs jumped one of the finest which made for a -clump of trees and rock, and he was grabbed just as he was going into his hole. Then they had no luck for a long time. When the extreme

limits of the farm were reached everybody was thinking of giving up the hunt. A big one was captured at this point, and, with his tail in a split white oak limb, he was turned over to Timothy hug. We had to cross a small stream on logs at this point. Timothy followed him, and kept up a constant snapping at the 'possum. Timothy struck at the dogs behind him to make them desist and the 'possum drove his teeth through the third finger and second joint of the right hand, making him turn loose the limb and 'possum. They all fell into the creek, some on one side and some on the other of the log bridge. All were thoroughly drenched, and it had turned freezing cold.
When they got on the other side of the creek they cut a big dead pine log, resin fat, into sections and built a rousing fire and after awhile all were dried and thawed out. Timothy's finger was very painful, and he has yet a deformity of that finger because of the bite of the opossum.
"We ain't goin' to hunt no more tonight," said Uncle John. "That graveyard 'possum done hoodoo the whole business."
He had. Although Uncle John and the others were born and reared in that, part of the county, they lost their way and did not reach their plantation until broad daylight.
Have you ever thought how much more appropriate it would be to publish your cards of thanks, notices, and memoriams in papers that "your" friends and acquaintances read?

I Am Grateful, Friends
WISH to thank the Pulpit, the Press, and the Public for your unselfish support given me in the recent crisis through which PORO COLLEGE has passed.
No less do I wish to express my appreciation for the many messages of interest and sympathy which have come to me; for the tender spoken word; and for the prayers of the faithful that an Institution dedicated to my race might stand untouched.
And I am grateful for the unprecedented demonstration of racial solidarity presented.
Your friendly interest, loyalty, and prayers during the recent upheaval have lightened, more than any other agency could have lightened, the way to bigger endeavor.
In recognition whereof, I rededicate to my people, PORO COLLEGE, and reconsecrate it to the loving service of Negro Womanhood.
An Institution Owned, Controlled and Operated by Our Group.

“Things are Well”
“I certainly do think that
things are going along well. A
few weeks ago after an absence
of a week T heard from some pec:
ple of the unfeeming conduct of
some visitors and of some law vio-
lations. To find out for myself, I
stopped all automobiles entering
the town to ascertain their destin-
ation. Six cars of bathers. in
bathing suits, who were guests of
a hotel away from Highland
Beach, were told of the law. A
few others visitors were informed
of the private ownership of the
beach and the conditions under
which it is used. Nothing indi-
cated objectionable characters.
“It is true that for years I have
opposed and fought in the courts
against discrimination in public
places based on color and not on
conduct. Yet as an officer of the
people in this small but growing
community I with the other com-
missioners are attempting to car-
ry. out the will of the people. Our
effort is to keep the town as well
managed as the finances permit
and the temper of the majority
of the people desire according tc
the laws of Maryland.
“As for any friends of mine who
wish to visit me at my summer
home, they are welcome to do so
and “use “the bathing "privileges
that are mine to offer them, but
in the language of the song i ad-
vise them to bring along their
dinner or dine at one of the ho-
tels and leave before sleeping

‘came to a climax when on May 6
she was informed that her husband
had purchased a diamond ring,
which, she alleges she learned
later, was not for her, but for some
other woman. The identity of this
“other woman” is unknown to her,
Mrs Blackwell declares.
In her statement, Mrs. Blackwell
avers that she has been forced to
work as an elevator operator at a
salary of $40 per month in a local
apartment house ever since her
marriage to Paul on March 8, 1925.
She has one child, a girl LaVerne
Christine Blackwell about two
years of age, whom she claims has
been inhumanly neglected by the
father, despite the fact that he
draws’ creditable salary.
Husband is Musician
Mr, Blackwell is an employee of
the Eckington Branch of the Post
Office Department. He receives,
according to his wife, not less than
$1080 a year, and in addition $5 a
night as a pianist, playing for va-
rious house parties, etc.
An illness to his wife from May
to October, 1926, had no effect
whatever on his treatment of her,
she declares.
Following a serious operation on
her by Dr. Simeon L. Carson, to
pay for which she was loaned $400
by relatives, Mrs. Blackwell avers
she was forced to many laborious
tasks which a woman in her phy-
sical condition should not have
done. According to the wife she
contracted pneumonia from this
slavery and exposure, and had an
additional expense on her. Mr.
Backwell, the bill states, refused
to pay any of her doctor's bills.
Tells Her to Get Out
On May 30, Mrs. Blackwell de-
clares, her husband told her he
would support ber no, longer. He
told her, she says, to “get out” be-
fore he returned that night. They
were then residing with the hus-
band’s sister at 1402 Fifth street,
northwest. He struck her twice
while she held the baby in her
arms, the girl avers, and when she
attempted to protect herself and
baby he beat her. Mrs. Blackwell
then moved to the home of her
sister at 200 Morgan street where
she still lives.
‘The child for whose maintenance
she pays $5 a week is in the cus-
tody of Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, 2706
K ‘street, northwest. She re-
‘quests the court to order her per-
Manent care and custody of the
chid as well as separation and rea-
‘sonable alimony.

Ted Thompson Regains Championship
Ted Th
Sam's Scripts
"A man is as good as he thinks he is—provided he does not let his opinion of himself become his master."
Hot-diggety-dawg! Your humble sports editor has become philosopher. If I'm not very careful, before long I'll be spitting out something like the little piece of Samuel Armstrong tongue craft "Mere optimism is stupid; sanctified common sense is the force that wins—"
By now my worthy constituents are no doubt wondering what all of this ballyhooing is about, well here goes. A much different Ted Thompson faced and defeated a "to-be-respected" Eyre Saitch in the finals of the National Men's singles down at Hampton last Saturday, and just that incident brings to us the two examples of our philosophy. Ted was as good as he thought he was, but he did not think he was too good to lose nor that he did not have a struggle before him if he was to win. Saitch was confident—perhaps too much so. Apparently, he let his belief in himself become too dominant a factor in his desire to win. Saitch, doubtless, accepted victory as a forgone conclusion while Ted's common sense showed him he was not immune from defeat.
I understand that the new champion owes a great deal in his achievement to a couple of his friends, "Charlie" Drew, and "Bill" Hastie. Drew, Morgan College Director of Athletics and Hastie, Bordenton Track Coach roomed with Thompson during the week of the tournament. They made him condition. When either of them said Ted should go to bed, he usually went. When he refused—Drew put him to sleep.
An element of splendid sportsmanship prevailed throughout the first game of the Brookland Giants-Potomac Giants double-header at the Monument Lot last Sunday. There was scarcely a flaw in the quality of the contest. For fast, exciting clean play the game was one of the best seen on sandlots in many a moon.
A meeting of a proposed Washington Tribune football league will be held at this office on Monday September 12, at sharp 6:30 p.m. Managers and coaches of the various elevens in and around Washington are urged to become affiliated.

COLESVILLE ON LOSING END WITH S. SPRINGS
Sandy Springs with a total of 20 hits all well placed, succeeded in downing "Bill" Braxton's Colesville Tigers here today by the overwhelming score of 15-6.
Adams, on the mound for the Sandy Springs outfit, twirled high class ball. Fanning 9 and scattering the hard hitting Colesville aggregation's few bingles is quite an achievement for any pitcher and deserves victory. Five errors played a big part in the Tigers' loss.
The Jungle cats took two games from the Army War College nine last Sunday. The first game ended, 10-1, and the second was forfeited to the visitors, 9-0.
The Tigers meet the fast Silver Spring team tomorrow, Saturday. The game will be begun at 3:30 p.m. at Wheaton, Md.

1927 KING OF THE COURTS
TENNIS
TED THOMPSON, local tennis luminary who regained the National Singles Crown, Saturday.
WASHINGTON ACE DEFEATS SAITCH IN LARGEST TOURNEY IN HISTORY
By SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Hampton, Va., Aug. 25—For the fourth time in as many years the challenger dethroned the champion in the finals of the National Tennis Championship Tournament, which was held here. Eyre Saitch, 1926 titleholder, whose self-confidence, brilliant tennis and nobly executed strategy proved unequal to the task of retaining the championship, fell last Saturday before the 20-year-old Capital City court phenomenon—Ted Thompson. The victory was accomplished after five sets of beautiful tennis. The scores were 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 4-6, 6-2.
The play of Washingtonians was especially marked in this year's tourney. Besides Thompson's victory in the men's singles, the men's doubles was featured by an All-Washington finals. Davis and Brown, District products, who defeated Smith and Wilkinson, also Washingtonians, in the semifinals, faced Holmes and Thompson for the championship. Blanch Winston, a Capital cityan, paired with a New Yorker, L. Jones won the mixed doubles crown.
Except in flashes, Saitch was helpless before Ted. The New Yorker won the first set before his challenger had become 'warmed-up,' but was completely outclassed by the Washington idol's superb racket wielding. An injury to Saitch, caused Thompson, a clean-cut sportsman, to ease up in the fourth set. This, the ex-champion won by inserting brilliant tennis in the places where it counted. With the sets at 2-all, Thompson went about his business and walked away in the final set with a 6-2 count.
Miss Lula Ballard, who like Ted was the 1925 champion and 1926 runner-up, also regained her lost title by defeating her conqueror of a year ago in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.
A Surprise
The real surprise came when Allison Davis and Sterling Brown upset the Eastern Championship team of "Syl" Smith and "Johnny" Wilkinson in easy sets, 6-1, 6-4. Holmes and Thompson, champs, took the doubles crown. Through the process of elimination 136 entries in the men's singles have acknowledged Theodore Hubbard Thompson, best; 64 women entries recognize Miss Lula Ballard as queen, and 21 youngsters acclaim Douglass Turner, Junior Champion. The chart below follows the contenders, in each class through their preliminary rounds up to the finals: 1st round -Saitch -bye. Thompson defeated T. W. Hayes.
2nd round -Saitch defeated J. J. Smith, 7-5, 2-6, 6-1. Thompson won by default.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. AUGUST 26. 1927
BROOKLAND GIANTS MOVE UP IN TRIBUNE LEAGUE
Menument, Diamond 8. — The Brookland Giants, who recently have been creating quite a furor in Class A of the Washington Tribune League moved into second place and on to the heels of the Elite Panthers by virtue of their double win over the strong Potomac Giants down here last Sunday. The scores were 5-4 and 11-5. Kenney and Smith, on the mound for the Brooklanders and Potomac, respectively, engaged in a red hot pitchers' battle for the first encounter. The affair lasted 10 innings and was decided when Dick Temple slid across the plate with the winning tally as Johnson was being tossed out at first. Kenney, Temple and Kenarde were the stars of the afternoon. Kenney's pitching accounted for the winning of both games. He relieved Thomas with his team trailing in the nightcap.
Temple's all-round playing was a feature, as was Kenara's batting for the losers. The latter is really a diamond in the rough, being a consistent batter, a dependable fielder and an unassuming individual who does not think too much of himself.

WASHINGTON PIRATES NO MATCH FOR TOGANS
IVY CITY. — The Washington Pirates were trimmed twice last Sunday. The lads who dub themselves the Togans A. C., and call Ivy City their hang out were their conquerors by scores of 9-8 and 10-5.
Hawkins, on the mound for Webb Lee's bunch, in the first game, sported an array of twisters which completely baffled the visiting Pirate crew, and sent 11 back to the bench via the whiff route. Stevenson's timely hit with 2 on in the ninth decided the first issue. The second game was never in doubt. Herb Betters returned to the Togan line-up.

WASHINGTON BLACK SOX STILL WINNING GAMES, PLAY ORIENTALS SUN.
By "Flash" Robeson
The Black Sox after the nightmare at the American League Park last Thursday returned to their home grounds Sunday and captured a twin bill from Brooke Grubb's Silver Spring semi-pro by the scores of 3-2 and 10-0. The first game was the best game played on the home grounds this season. Eeach team received some good breaks as well as some bad ones.
The misplays of each team caused runs to be scored, none of which were earned except Wilson's freak homer in the fifth. "Spike" Bland and Oscar Claude, formerly of the Baltimore Internationals, staged a hot pitcher's battle for ten innings in the opener. Bad baseball caused Claude to lose the game.
"Soup" Turner at short and Brown on second aided "Spike" on several occasions; Grant, Smith and Gillispie were the batting leaders in the first game. Claude's pitching was the only bright light for the Marylanders. The lads from Silver Springs faced a determined club in the night cap, fired by the closeness of the first game. The colored champs hopped on the offerings of Heims in the first and scored three runs enough to win the game, not satisfied, however, the Champs continued to score at will throughout the rest of he contest. Turner and Brown again starred afield. This with the wonderful receiving' of Davis and masterful pitching of Hughes coupled with the heavy stick work of the Sox were the features of the night cap.
Sunday, August 27, the Oriental Tigers will be the guests at the Union League Park in a twin bill. If the last meetings of these teams are taken in consideration a keen contest is anticipated. A banner crowd is expected.
BALTIMORE SOX TROUNCE LOCALS
BALTIMORE SOX TROUNCE LOCALS
By "Flash" Robeson
The Washington Black Sox proved no match for Ben Taylor's fast Baltimore Black Sox last Thursday at American League Park, losing by the score of 13-2. Errors in the first inning caused the morale of the District Champs to crack and at no time did the game look favorable to the District lads.
"Smiler" Yokely had the heavy hitting Sox at his mercy striking out George Ford on three occasions when a hit would have meant a run.
"Scrappy" Brown 'at short stop was the star afield, while Washington, former Potomac star, was a demon at the bat garriching two triples and a double.
Three local hurlers, Smith, Lacy and Bland were unable to stem the consistent attack of the invaders.
HILLSDALES VICTORIOUS OVER ALL STARS
HILLSDALES VICTORIOUS OVER ALL STARS
BRIGHTWOOD--For the second time this season the Hillsales took the measure of the Washington All Stars. The contest played on the diamond here ended in a 9-3 count.
Though the Stars played errorless ball behind Hillery's good hurling, the timeliness of the Hillsale punches were too much for them. Spencer and Haywood contributed to the winners' cause with two bingles apiece.

"HILLSDALES ROTTEN, ALL STARS WORSE"
"HILLSDALES ROTTEN, ALL STARS WORSE"
"Ike" Kendrick's Version
Captain "Johnny Reds" Haywood's shopworm Hillesdares took the slow thinking Washington All-Stars into camp by the score of 9-3 at "Pe" Nickens hand made park in Brightwood last Sunday. The All-Stars were evidently worrying over the fate of Sacco and Vanzetti as they played like a bunch of heart-broken picketers. They were as careless throwing the ball as the Reds are with their bombs.
In Hillery, their pitcher, and Craig, their centerfielder, the All-Stars presented a pair of good baseball players. Craig should join the aviation corps because anyone who can come down a hill without a parachute as fast as he did to rob the Redsmen of hits is too valuable for baseball.
"Locomotive" Slater worked on the mound for the Hillsdales and puffed his way to victory. "Flannel-foot" Hillery worked on the Hillsdales. The mixture of youngsters and tired veterans who form the Hillsdale team outbatted, outplayed, out-talked and out-did the starless All-Stars.

ORIENTALS LOSE TO WASH. GIANTS
For the fourth time this season Hayes Jones' Washington Giants defeated the highly touted Oriental Tigers in a Union League contest. The score was 9-6. Following their victory over the Tigers the Giants took on and trounced Freddy Woods' newly organized Piedmonts, 6-3.
The first game, which was carried into an extra frame, was played before nearly 3000 ardent southwest rooters. Scriver furnished the Oriental's hurling while the slab duties of the Giants was taken care of by Briscoe and Ewell.
Hope, Baylor and Jefferson ex-LeDroit Tigers appeared in the Piedmont line-up.

"PRINCE OF TEMPTERS" AT
THE LABORATORY NEXT
WEEK
On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, August 28, 29 and 30, will be seen Ben Lyon and Lya De-Putti in the "Prince of Tempers" which is taken from the novel, "The Ex-Duke," by E. Phillips Oppenheim. All of those who have read this novel will remember that, the Prince of Tempers was not launched upon his career as flirt until after leaving the monastery that had sheltered him the first twenty years of his life.
Sey Loch D
Anthracite Tampback
He fell victim in a series of adventures which his secluded life had left, him unequipped to cope with, thus, curiosity turned to disillusionment, and disillusionment finds its way to love. This is the story of a modest boy coming into the land of love and romance knowing nothing of the world, and how short a time was necessary for him to become a master of women's hearts.
On Wednesday and Thursday, August 31 and September 1, will be double feature day. The first of these two pictures will be Bebe Daniels in "Senorita." This is a romantic comedy drama of a girl who wishes she had been born a boy and dons masculine grab. Here is a joyous story of love, and adventure in South America.
The second of the double features will be Pafay Ruth Miller, in "What Every Girl Should Know." It has proved to be a Reisner triumph everywhere it has been shown. It promises thrills, heart throbs, fun and tenderness.
The story deals with Mamie Sullivan, the little mother of two orphaned brothers. The big brother, Dave, driving a truck, accidentally sticks and kills a woman. Through circumstantial evidence, he is convicted of manslaughter and sent to jail. Mamie and her kid brother are sent to an orphans' home. They escape and devote themselves to Dave's vindication.
On Friday and Saturday, September 2, and 3, will be seen the "Brute" starring Monte Blue and featuring Clyde Cook and Leila Hymans. The story is based on the novel of W. Douglas Newton and was pictured by Harvey Gates.

FINAL WEEK OF "SUCCESS PICTURES" AT REPUBLIC STARTS SUNDAY
The final week of "Success Pictures" starts Sunday at the Republic Theatre. A great array of pictures have been selected for the week: Sunday, August 28. "The Wanderer" with Ernest Torrence, Greta Nissen and Wallace Roery; Monday, August 29. Elinor Glyn's "Love Blindness" with Antonio Moreno and Pauline Starke; Tuesday, August 30. "The Fire Prigade" with pictures of Engine Company No. 4; Wednesday, August 31. Lon Chaney in "Tell it to the Marines" supported by William Haines and Eleanor Boardman; Thursday and Friday, September 1, 2. John Barrymore in "Don Juan"; Saturday, September 3. Jackie Coogan in "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut."
Manager Sanford announces that the new season of the Republic will open on Sunday, September 4, with Lon-Chaney in "The Unknown." This, is Chaney's newest picture and has not been shown before. On Labor Day (Monday, September 5), the first show will start at 12 o'clock noon.
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 25—(PCNB). With Universal's $1,500,000 "Uncle Tom" epic slated for a fall opening in New York, and the Duncan Sisters showing of their "Uncle Tom" burlesque comedy "Topsy and Eva" at the Rioli, Paramount, who controls the bookings at the Cohan Theatre, on August 12, opened a big "Uncle Tom" road show, composed of a cast of players unheard of on Broadway.
From all indications this epidemic of "Tom" shows will have a possibility of lessening the interest in the big film special and will force Universal to delay still longer the premier of the most ambitious picture in its history.
New Yorkers will have an opportunity to size up James B. Lowe, the colored star of Universal's "Uncle Tom" when he passes through the city the first of September en route to France with the American Expeditionary Forces.
"VALLEY OF HELL" AT THE BROADWAY
For Sunday and Monday the Broadway Theatre will present one of the high class western super-features of the season, "The Valley of Hell" with Francis McDonald and Edna Murphy supported by a cast of one hundred and fifty players including the famous Big Horn Ranch riders. It is a rapid fire nerve tingling romance of the Golden West with thrill after thrill. In fact there is never a dull moment from start to finish.
On Tuesday (one day only) a picture that is a worthy successor to the "Sheik." Milton Sills and Viola Dana in "The Silent Lover." Milton Sills is at his best here.
Wednesday and Thursday, "That Model from Paris" with Marceline Day and Bert Lytell is the story of how a plain Jane was transformed into the most beautiful woman in France. The week will close on Friday and Saturday with everybody's favorite John Gilbert in "The Show." He is supported by beautiful Renee Adoree and Lionel Barrymore. It is a thrilling tale of underworld life with the test of honor among thieves.
AFRICANA MOVES TO SHUBERTS
National Theatre at 41st Street and Seventh Avenue
NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 25 (By The Geraldyn Dismond Bureau of Specialized Publicity)—The New York Herald Tribune announced Friday that due to a disagreement between Earl Dancer, the producer, and John Cort, owner of Daly's Sixty-third Street Theatre, "Africana" unexpectedly has been withdrawn from that playhouse. Inasmuch as the booking contract provided that Dancer could not take his show, from Cort's theatre directly to one of any other management in New York Dancer is now contemplating a road tour of two or three weeks which will permit him to present his show again in another New York theatre later in the fall.
But the same day directory advertisements appeared billing "Africana" for the National Theatre at 41st Street and Seventh Avenue. The National is one of the best Shubert houses in the heart of the theatre district. Its securing "Africana" speaks well for the continued success of the revue. As to what arrangements had been made between Cort and the Shuberts could not be ascertained, but it is rumored that Ethel Waters, star of "Africana," around whom the revue is built, has signed a five-year contract with the Shuberts.
The show opened Saturday night and played to a capacity house. So in spite of much talk to the contrary, "Africana" still holds its own. Louis Douglas, however, was missing. It is believed that he has returned to Paris to pacify Miss Baker and stop any possible trouble from that source.

WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1927
Footlights
According to a release sent the Tribune, when "Ginger Snaps of 1928," a brand new musical tablecloth swings into Washington next month, it will bring several of our own Washingtonians who have gained superior prestige throughout the country in the professional ranks of amusement.
The musical revue is being presented by Julius Suarez, one of the most popular of race sportsmen and amusement promoters in Jersey. Charles S. Johnson, formerly connected with the Howard and Lincoln Theatres is taking care in a general way of the managerial reins. The musical embellishments will be taken care of by our own Claude Hopkins, who in addition to carrying his gingerlike eight-piece orchestra will present an entire score which will be his own compositions. The producing end is being cared for by S. H. Dudley, Jr.
Others well known in theatrical circles here will be Ozie McPherson, Paramount blues artist, Shakey Beasley, the golden voiced tenor, and Mabel Hopkins.
The company is composed of twenty-five talented musicians and performers, all of whom have enjoyed successful night club engagements all along the Jersey Coast this season.
Claude's band, which has been proclaimed for three seasons by both press and public as the best musical unit on the coast, will be the special feature of the show.
His compositions "Mirandy" and "Ginger Snap Stomp" are bound to be sure fire hits. The definite date of the show will be announced later.
Jack Goldberg, the producer of many good shows and the manager of many big attractions, finds himself accused of being connected with the Alhambra Theatre, which he sternly denies. He writes the following to this column:
"Various people have come to me asking for a position at the Alhambra Theatre and it is circulated about that I am interested in the said theatre. I will deem it a great favor if you in your column will advise that I am not connected in any way, shape manner, or form in the theatre or the company that is to play there.
"I wish it a hundred per cent success but if it should turn out otherwise, I would not want people looking for me..."
Jack Goldberg is the producer of the show playing this week at the Howard, "Watermelons," and the one which played last week, Clara Smith's "Blackbottom Revue."
"Watermelons," the musical comedy revue without even a picture of a watermelon, is playing the Howard Theatre this week. It is another of Jack Goldenberg's productions, as was last week's "Blackbottom Revue," featuring Clara Smith. The two shows are about on a par as far as their entertaining value is concerned. Compared to the regular run of shows, this one may be called good. Last year, "Watermelons" played the Columbia Circuit.

Dud's Dope
By S. H. Dudley, Sr.
"Ten Nights in a Barroom" with Charles Gilpin, played to capacity business at the Broadway Theatre this city recently.
I am more convinced than ever that colored pictures is what it takes to put colored theatres over. I know now that the patrons of colored theatres want to see their own people on the stage and screen.
Now, "Ten Nights in a Barroom" is primarily a white play and as old as "Uncle Tom's Cabin," but just because it was enacted by a colored cast, it did, and is doing big business everywhere it plays. I don't believe in resurrecting old white stories. In the future we should see our own people in our own scenarios portraying us just as we are, and you can rest assured of getting better pictures from every viewpoint.
I have just been elected president of the Colored Players Film Corporation, but I am not in a position to say at this writing, what our future plans are, but we are perfecting a policy and our temporary studio is well equipped and we are ready to start making bigger and better pictures.
At present we have our temporary studio in Philadelphia, but it is our intention to build our own little colony. In fact we will have in a miniature way, a little Hollywood of our own. The stock will be placed on the market soon, be prepared. Are you ready? We have been talking long enough, we must act, so you can look for the ball to start rolling as soon as a few details are thrashed out.
My reason for affiliating with the Colored Players' Film Corporation instead of organizing a new firm is, they made the best colored pictures; they have a well equipped studio ready for service; Mr. Starkman is a keen business man and knows the film business. This-last fact should save the enterprise thousands of dollars, due to the fact that with Mr. Starkman's knowledge we will not have to experiment.
In offering the public stock to raise the money, we want them to know that we are not selling them an idea of what we intend doing, but they will be buying an interest in a business that is already established and is in operation. Before you invest we want you to investigate, as we are prepared to show facts relative to what colored pictures can do. We cite data from past business. Our books are open at all times.
Not only should you invest for the profits there is in the investment, but race pride should prompt you to at least look into this proposition.
From an educational standpoint, it is a wonderful opportunity for us. Our school is already open and we have several pupils already enrolled and we want more. There is money and fame awaiting you in colored pictures.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT?
Have you ever thought how much more appropriate it would be to publish your cards of thanks, notices, and memoriam in papers that "your" friends and acquaintances read?

MONTE BLUE in "The BRUTE"
Tribble, the comic woman impersonator. Tribble is good, but quite a deal of his stuff is old. Nevertheless, he is a most entertaining character, and he kept the audience laughing during his entire appearance.
Teddy Peters, whose drunken impersonation the theatre crowds of Washington always receive well, yet with which they evidently tire somewhat, is also a headliner in "Watermelons."
Others appearing in the cast are Jines and Jacqueline, Bob Grambb, Alvetta Brown, Teddy Blackman, and a chorus of ten girls.
The chorus received as big a hand as the principals on two occasions. Once when the individuals of the group were called for special numbers, and again when they performed in a chorus step.
At the Lincoln Theatre, Edith Waddlel, the same young lady who chirped her songs to the audiences last week, is back again. This week she sings "Cherie," and the "Wanderer's Song." She is quite entertaining.
FAIRFAX COUNTY COLORED
FAIR TO LAST THREE DAYS
The Farafax County, Va., colored Fair Association is making preparations for the coming fair to be held on their grounds, September 28, 29, 30, one mile west of Falls Church.
Owing to the large exhibit and the many attractions that will be offered it will require three days to see the fair in its entirety.
The first, or children's day, will be devoted to a parade, games and drills between the schools of the county. Adjacent counties have been invited to take part in this day's festivities which is primarily for children of school age.
The second day is fraternal day. The grounds are expected to be filled with the gaily colored marching clubs and drill teams of the various lodges that will be present.
The third day will be known as horse show day, when Fairfax County will turn over her stock for the inspection of the public. Many exhibits of fine stock will be shown. On the midway all kinds of legitimate attactions will hold forth. Michael Brothers' Exposition Shows has been engaged which are dear to the heart of the average fair goer. Music has been engaged for the occasion and in the big covered pavilion dancing will be permitted for two or more sessions, each day. All kinds of good food and refreshments are available on the grounds, and the association's committee is tireless in its efforts to make this the banner holiday of its existence.

PORO OPENS NEW BRANCH
OFFICE
A new and beauifully appointed
branch office has been opened by
Poro College, of which Mrs. An-
nie Turnbo-Malone is the founder
and sole owner, at 1201 U street
northwest. The business was for-
merly conducted at 1939 Ninth
strete, northwest.
The new branch is the last, word
in appointment. Laid out in a col-
or scheme of orange and buff, it
contains a large reception space,
and five booths. i
Heretofore, Mrs. Malone's. busi-
ness has heen centered mostly. in
the midwest. Since the suit filed
‘by Aaron Malone, from whom
Mrs. Malone was. divorced, at.
tracted such nation-wide atten:
tion, and which was followed by
her trip through the East, the
business of Poro has received
quite an impetus in this section,
and the establishment of larger
and more attractive branch of-
fices has been a natural subse-
quent. New branches have been
steed in Philadelphia and Boston,
also.
The branch here is managed by
Mrs. Annie E.-DeValle. She was
transferred from the old’ branch
at Ninth street, to the present lo-
cation. —
The seting-up of the new branch
was handled by Alexander B.
Stone, of. St..Louis, Mo.

liver the address on behalf of the

ernor Alfred E. Smith. He pre-
dicted. that he-would be the next

bespoke for Mayor Walker’s pro-
motion to the governorship. He
declared that Mr. McKee is being
groomed to be the next mayor of
New York city.
Mr. McKee himself avoided poli-
tics. “He said, “I come to you to-
day not as a Democrat, not as a
Republican, -but for the time being
as the chief executive of New
York city to bid you welcome with-
in the confines of our city and to
tell. you in plain, -homely speech
how glad we are to have you here.”

“POOR PADDY’
He told of the glories of New
York city, “the-greatest. metropolis
in all the world” He, praised its
citizens referring to them as “a
home-loving people,-a people who
observe the law, a God-fearing
people, a people who are anxicus
at all times to do the right thing
by their nation. and their state.
American Liberties Lauded
“There is written in the heart of
every New Yorker,” he said, “the
fundamental principles and” key-
stone of American liberties and of
the American republic. Here we
have but, one measure of a man's
‘worth. He may be.a-Jew of. Gen-
tile, Catholic oF Protestant. - We do
‘ot! measure hin by that. measure.
We do not care what» his politics
may be. We do not care what his
wealth may be. We'do not. care
what his accomplishments: may be.
“We haye the habit here of look:
ing into the hearts of our fellow-
men and where we find worth and
character, to that man irrespective
of his race, irresptctive of his col-
or, irrespective of his religion, ir-
respective of his wealth, we take
‘him and lift him up and’ pour into
his lap all those things of a mater-
ial nature that he deserves.”
Praises Negros
He commended the three hun-
dred thousand Negroes of. New
‘York’ city for 'theix accomplish-
ments in all walks of life. Stil!
greater things are to be done by
them, he said.
“We have no doors and for that
reason I cannot give you the keys
to our city.” he stated. . The laws
munst be obeyed, he reminded the
Elks and told. them’ that. it was
not necessary to ask-for the free-
dom of the city because they al-
ready had it,”
Wilson Responds
The grarid exalted ruler, J. Fin-
ley Wilson, responded. He was elo-
quent. He declared that he had
‘Come from the canital of the Na-
tion to hold “the biggest, the best
and the grandest. convention that
the world has.known.” He added
that he had come to give “the
people a square deal in the grand
lodge, with no enemies’ to punish
and no friends to reward.”
Referring to the injunction
which existed against colored Elks
in this state. until July 22 when it
was vacated, Grand Exalted Ruler
‘Wilson declared that “I have had
more. sleepless nights this year
than in any of the other five years
I have been grand exalted ruler
because I wanted to come to the
metropolis of the world as an up-
standing citizen without proscrip-
tion.”
He pleaded that Governor Smith
use his influence toward having
repealed the so-called Gratton’
