Whether or not there is to be football at Howard University during the month of October depends upon the action of the football players following a decision of the Board of Athletic Control in a special conference, yesterday. The statement is a call for players, which if not answered by 5 o'clock p.m., October 8, will result in the calling off of the remaining games on the Howard schedule during October. If a sufficient number of students have not answered the call by 5 o'clock, p.m., Tuesday, October 11, then a complete cancellation of Howard games for 1927 will ensue. The Livingstone game has already been cancelled. The statement, as issued by the Board of Athletic Control Thursday, October 6, follows: The Statement "The Howard University football squad after receiving training from September 15 to September 30, 1927, passed in its equipment on Monday, October 3, and disbanded. This made the cancellation of the Livingstone game necessary. It seems that no team will be available to complete the season's schedule. The Board of Athletic Control is reluctant to draw this conclusion and is, therefore, issuing this statement: "The coaches will be present on the field each afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. If sufficient bona fide candidates who are willing to meet present university regulations* do not appear for training by 5 p.m., Sat., Oct. 8, the Board of Athletic Control will be compelled to cancel the games remaining in the schedule for October. "If sufficient men do not appear for training by 5 p.m., Tuesday, October 11, the November games will be canceled." "These regulations are published in the Constitution of the Board of Athletic Control and are in line with advancing educational standards. Professionalism including the grant to athletics of special inducements, such as free board, free lodging, or other perquisites, has constituted the gravest menace to intercollegiate athletics." Captain's Statement When shown the above statement, Milford (Biff) Martin, captain of the team said, "The boys have turned in their uniforms, and quit because they could not meet the 'requirements' of the university." This is taken as an indication. The trouble lies in the question that the football team will not report by Tuesday. tion as to whether or not the usual custom of providing a free training table and free training quarters is to be resumed. The university authorities voted at the close of the last school year to cut out the free training table and free quarters for the Howard football squad. The squad, however, it is alleged was not notified of the new rule until they returned to school this fall. The move, the authorities declare, was a measure of economy. A deficit amounting to $20,000 on account of athletics, they say, caused the university board of trustees to order the pursuance of a more economical program. As the first step, it was decided by faculty to discontinue the free board and lodging for football players during football season. When the players reported for preliminary training, they were informed that they would be expected to eat and sleep at the university quarters and that they must pay for such board and lodging just as other students of the university, not athletes do. Student Council Aids Members of the Student Council in an effort to meet the emergency, had some tags printed and these were sold at $1 each, hoping to raise the amount necessary to defray the living expense of the squad. Just how many of these tags were sold between the time of their appearance, September 26, and the deliverance of the ultimatum last Friday is not known. However, the proceeds were not large enough to meet the required budget. Heretofore it has been the custom at Howard for football men to receive their meals and rooms at the expense of the school during football season.

EXONERATE MAN IN DEATH OF WOMAN A coroner's jury last Thursday exonerated William Franklin Claggett, 33, 213 V street, northwest, from responsibility for the death of Mrs. Ida Bell Stewart, 25, 1610 First street, northwest. The woman jumped from a delivery truck which he was driving on September 26. She was treated at Freedmen's hospital and later removed to her home. Dr. Joseph E. Trigg, who treated her at her home, found her dead on the morning of September 28 when he called to see her. She had been dead only a few minutes. Her sister, Mrs. Emma Jane Newton, thought she had fallen asleep. Mrs. Stewart fractured the base of her skull when she jumped from the truck on Fourteenth street, orthoste between Buchanan and Allison streets. The coroner's jury held that "death was due to an accident the result of her own carelessness." At the inquest Claggett took the witness stand and testified that he had said or done nothing to cause the woman to jump from the truck. They did not know each other, he stated. She asked him for a ride back to town, he said. After they had gone a few blocks, she jumped out, fracturing the base of her skull, he testified. The only conversation that had taken place between them, he said, was relating to whether they were married. He asked her if she was married, he stated, and she told him she had been. She asked him the same question, he said, and he told her he was married and had three chn'dren. Then she suddenly jumped out, he said. Mrs. Lottie Stewart, 2500 Massachusetts avenue, northwest, a sister-in-law, and Mrs. Newton testified that Mrs. Stewart told them that "the man didn't act right." NAT'L EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE MEETS HERE NAT'L EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE MEETS HERE BOSTON, Mass.—Announcement has been made by the national headquarters of the National Equal League will be held in the John Rights League, at 9 Cornhill, that the 20th annual meeting of the Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, northwest, Washington, D. C. from October 25-28, and is to be a national race mass convention or congress under the League's auspices, for a racial preparation for the pre-election congress and for the political battle of 1928 as concerns the race's rights. The convention which is called for a racial get-together whereby a racial consensus of opinion may be secured, a united opinion voiced, united demand made and general program and principles adopted, will have three paramount objectives—abolition of color segregation, determination of the equal rights issues and principles of action for the forthcoming federal voting, and the formulation of a national signed race petition to be presented as Congress assembles in December.

GARD'NS SUED FOR LIBEL, FILES ANSWER Through Attorneys Houston and Houston, John H. Paynter, 701 Fifty-first street, northeast, and the Universal Development and Loan Company which operates the Suburban Gardens, an amusement park, say in their answer to the suit of Policeman Matthew Chnylko that the alleged libel is true, privileged and fair comment on a public official and his official duties. Policeman Chnylko is suing the Suburban Gardens for $15,000 damages because of the publication of an item in a daily paper concerning his shooting James Watson, 1012 Whittingham place, northwest, on June 27, 1926. "Assaulted Without Cause" In their answer the defendants deny that Daniel Watkins was disorderly on the dance pavilion. They declare that he was conducting himself in an orderly manner when Policeman Chnylko assaulted him without cause, beating him up until Policeman Sydney H. Miles restrained him. Policeman Miles arrested Watkins, the defenders state. While they were on their way to the patrol box, they say, Policeman Chmylko was slashed by some unknown person. They allege that Policeman Chmylko "shot the man, and after the man had fallen to the ground helpless and was pleading for mercy, proceeded to shoot him until his ammunition was exhausted, and then cursing wildly, proceeded to beat him over the head with his club or other weapon." Mrs. Payster is the president of the Universal Development and Loan Company. He wrote the article which is the basis of this libel suit. REV. TAYLOR IS SEC'Y-TREAS. OF PRESBY'AN ASS'N REV.

A number of important research projects in the realm of race relations were decided upon at the recent meeting here of the Social Science Research Council, a national body made up of outstanding social scientists of America, representing seven great national organizations interested chiefly in social research. Among the advisory committees of the Council is one on interracial relations composed of Dr. Will W. Alexander of Atlanta, director of the Commission on interracial Cooperation, Dr. Howard W. Odum of the University of North Carolina Dr. Joseph Peterson of George Peabody College, Dr. T. Wingate Todd of Western Reserve University, Carter G. Woodson, editor of the "Opportunity", Prof. Monroe N. Work, head of the research department of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Editor of the Journal of Negro History. This committee, meeting along with the annual sessions of the Council, spent a week or more formulating recommendations for a number of large-scale research projects having to do with Negro life and conditions. These recommendations were accepted by the Council and work upon the projects will be undertaken at an early date. NEXT C'NVENTION WILL DEADLOCK, SAYS HOWARD By Louis R. Lautier In spite of the renunciation of another term by President Coolidge, he may be drafted by his party, thinks Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, who has just returned from a visit to New York and Boston where he conferred with his party chieftains. Mr. Howard believes that the next Republican National Convention will become deadlocked over the selection of a candidate. When that happens, he says, the party will turn to President Coolidge and he will heed the call. Mr. Howard says: "I am of the opinion that there will be much-hair pulling and political manipulation among favorite sons, resulting in a deadlock in the next Republican National Convention on the first several ballots. Unable to agree upon any one of the candidates, the party leaders will look for a man who can save the party from a split and subsequent defeat. Coolidge May Heed Call "It will be decided that the President is the only one who can save the day. He will be drafted by renomination, and I do not believe that he will fail to heed the party's call. He will accept the renomination, and I believe that he will be re-elected by a larger majority than he received in 1924. (Continued on page 7) CAPT. NEWMAN RETAINS POSITION AS MILITARY COMMANDER IN SCHOOLS DR. ED. F. HARRIS PRUDENTIALBANK ENDS TWO YEARS IS IN MIDST WITH S. DAIRIES OF CAMPAIGN Narrowly construing the law to mean that the sole function of the Miner Normal school is the training of persons to teach in the public schools of the District of Columbia only, the Board of Education at its meeting in Franklin school building Wednesday afternoon refused to permit Miss Modena Gowens to become a student and establish a school. Miss Gowens is 47 years old. She was dismissed from the Miner Normal school because of her age. She desires to complete her normal school education to go to Liberia and establish ha school. The rules of the school board provide that no person over 40 years of age shall be appointed to teach in the elementary schools of the District. There is no age-limit governing admission to the normal schools. Graduates of the normal schools are eligible to appointment as teachers according to their rating. Miss Gowens, however, wanted to gain admission to the normal school with the distinct understanding that he would not be a candidate for appointment. Pleads in Yain H. B. Learned made a plea that she be given the opportunity to improve her condition, but it fell on deaf ears. The board voted to approve the recommendation of Superintendent Frank W. Ballou and First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson denying her admission to the Miner Normal school. The plan to displace Capt. Arthur C. Newman as instructor in charge of military science in the colored senior high schools was abandoned. The committee on playgrounds and military affairs through its chairman, the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, reported that the facts do not call for any personnel changes. The committee decided that the problem can be worked out by a proper understanding between the high school principals and the military instructors. Capt. Newman was charged with failure to maintain discipline. He was slated to be transferred to teach science in one of the junior Dr. Edward F. Harris, salesman for the Southern Dairies Co., has completed two years of successful salesmanship with that corporation. He became a salesman with the Southern Dairies on October 1, 1925, probationary at first, and was made regular within ten days. Dr. Harris is a native Washingtonian, a graduate of the old M street high school, and of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. He is the organizer of the Colored Druggists Association of Washington, and served as its secretary for four years. He is a member of the executive and editorial boards of the National Medical Association, and at one time was professor of practical pharmacy at Frelinghuysen University. He is a member of Widow's Son Lodge No. 7, F. A. A. M. Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, I. B. P. O. E. of W., a member of the Men's Club of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, and vice president of the Federation of Men's Church Clubs. Among the large dealers on his territory are Suburban Gardens, Steamer E. Madison Hall, Armstrong High School and practically every colored church and fraternal organization in the District of Columbia. RECORD ENROLLMENT AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 6—The sixtieth year of the work of Hampton Institute began Thursday, September 22 when the largest enrollment in the history of the school took up their work in classroom and shop. Students, to the number of 1050 including 398 girls taxed the dormitory space. ITS FOOTBALL AN RETAINS US MILITARY R IN SCHOOLS high schools without any loss in salary. Capt. Harry O.

After physical extrance examination the health officer had reported her physically unfit. Shortly before graduation she was again examined and her health reported as being fair. She repudiated her signed statement. Superintendent Ballou and First Assistant Superintendent Gaynet C. Wilkinson recommended that the school officials be authorized to place her name on the eligible list in the position to which her rating entitles her. She would be No. 10. The board granted permission to Miss G. A. Coleman, a domestic science teacher, and O. F. N. Madden, a sheet metal teacher at the Francis Junior High School, to engage in chiropractic, and to Dr. J. B. Washington, drawing teacher at the Dunbar High school, to practice dentistry. Permission to take auto mechanics at the Armstrong Technical High School was denied three girls. The board decided to provide such instruction when a group of twenty or more regularly enrolled pupils make application for Another Miner Normal School June graduate was appointed. She is Miss Catherine L. Grey, 1945 Vermont avenue, northwest. She will teach at the Cleveland School; She is the fourth graduate of the June班 to be appointed. Mrs. L. H. Pinchback was granted a leave of absence. The probationary appointment of A. F. Nixon, teacher, class 3A, was made permanent. PRUDENTIALBANK IS IN MIDST OF CAMPAIGN In an effort to increase the deposits in the Prudential Bank to $1,000,000, President John R. Hawkins spoke before the Columbia Lodge of Elks on Monday night, and on Tuesday night before the Morning Star Lodge. He presented the two lodges a plan for an Elks Convention Savings Club, put on a weekly pay basis. The idea was looked upon very favorably by the members of both lodges, and it is expected that they will adopt the plan. No definite action, however, has as yet been taken. On Friday night, of last week, President Hawkins spoke to the assembled employees of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company about a plan of saving. The campaign is bringing increased deposits to the Prudential every day, and although the goal has not been reached, it is expected that beneficial results will be obtained. ATLANTA U.

SUPREME COURT HAS TWO CASES AFFECTING RACE Two cases awaiting consideration by the Supreme Court of the United States are of especial interest to colored people. One of them involves the right of Negro Shriners in Texas to use the names, emblems and insignia of the order. The other case involves the legality of the death sentence imposed in Kentucky on Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming on a rape charge. The Supreme Court is asked to review this case. Justices Louis D. Brandeis and Oliver Wendell Holmes granted the condemned men stays of execution during the summer recess in order to give the Supreme Court an opportunity to decide whether it would review this case. The Supreme Court began its fall term last Monday. NEGRO HISTORY ASS'N STARTS HOME COURSES NEGRO HISTORY ASS'N STARTS HOME COURSES The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History began extension courses in Negro life and history and correlated subjects under its home study department on October 1. The courses are designed for those interested in general education and to meet special needs. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the director of the association, sees a lack of teachers prepared to give instruction in subjects concerning the Negro race and its achievements because only a few universities have provided for instruction in Negro life and history. One of the purposes of the courses is to provide instruction for teachers of such subjects. The courses are also planned to give instruction to social workers, ministers, business men and women, and persons seeking to broaden their education. Correspondence Course Instruction will be by mail. Each course opens with an introductory statement outlining the course and advising how it should be studied. Each lesson has a definite assignment of work. When the work is completed the recitation paper is returned to the instructor for correction. The work offered will include courses in African Art and Culture, African Literature, the Negro in Recent Literature, the Negro in History, Negro Economic History, General and African Anthropology, History, Church History, the Problem of the Races, Social Psychology, and English Composition. The teaching staff will be composed of Carter G. Woodson, instructor in history and anthropology; Charles H. Wesley, instructor in economics and history; Alain Leroy Locke, instructor in art and literature; E. Franklin Frazier, instructor in sociology; David A. Lane, instructor in English and literature; Luther P. Jackson, instructor in the history of education; James Hugo Johnston, instructor in social history, and Charles S. Johnson, instructor in sociology. The Requirements The only requirements for admission to the courses is the ability to profit by the work. The courses, however, are based on a general knowledge of sociology, history and economics, and only those who have had the equivalent of a high school education and some instruction in social science are urged to apply. The courses are also offered to home study clubs that are studying Negro life and history and to committees and commissions that are interested in interracial matters. The association has some clubs officially connected with it, and local branches are being organized in the larger cities. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History established the extension division because of the increasing demand for public lectures and information by correspondence. Organized in 1915 The association was organized by Dr. Woodson in Chicago, Ill., September 9, 1915, to collect sociological and historical data bearing on the Negro, to publish books on Negro life and history, to promote the study of the Negro through clubs and schools and to bring about harmony between the races by interpreting the one to the Let our classified column rent that vacant room.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE WOMAN IS HELD ON FIRST DEGREE MURDER CHARGE An indictment charging first degree murder was returned against Susie Brown, 23 years old, by the grand jury last Monday. She is charged with the murder of her husband, William Brown, in their apartment at 441 O street, northwest, on September 13. Mrs. Brown and her husband quarreled when she accused him of having been in Neal place, gambling. They began to fight. Mrs. Brown, according to her confession to the police, ran into another room and got her husband's pistol. He took it away from her and emptied four of its five chambers. She grabbed the gun from his hand before he got the fifth bullet out of it. He shoved her out of the apartment. She fired one shot blindly through the door. The bullet struck her husband in the heart. She heard him fall groaning. She beat upon the apartment floor. She went to him, raised his head, held it in her lap and kissed him. He was dead when the Freedmen's Hospital ambulance responded Mrs. Brown walked around to the second precinct police station and told the police that she had just killed her husband. She signed a statement giving the details of the killing. WIFE SUES HUSBAND FOR MAINTENANCE Through Attorney Dora Palkin, Mrs. Marian E. Morgan, 67½ R street, northwest, filed auit against her husband, Charles H. Morgan, 405 N street, northwest, for maintenance. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Morgan says that her husband would have cut her throat with a razor on January 1, 1926, but for the interference of two women who were present. Three days later he deserted her, she charges. He had previously deserted her in 1923 for a period of eight or nine months. Mrs. Morgan states. She alleges that her husband has failed to support her and their minor child. Since the latter part of June, she says, he has contributed only $5 toward her support. He earns $25 a week as a taxi driver, she states. The couple was married April 18, 1921, by the Rev. S. B. Wallace. They have one child, Elaine Lee Morgan, 5 years old.

In 1922, through a grant from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, the Department of Research was established. In 1926 the association began the celebration of Negro History Week. The officers of the association are John R. Hawkins, president; S. W. Rutherford, Secretary -reasurer, and Carter G. Woodson, director of research and editor. TEN Liberal Progressive Independent BROADNESS VS. NAROWNESS Everything in the world is related in some way to every other thing in the world. There is a sense, and a very real sense, too, in which the whole earth constitutes a single neighborhood. Modes of communication, transportation and education have within a hundred years changed the face of civilization. Men are approximating not only a single standard of producing commodities, of distributing them, of visiting one another and of communicating with one another, but they are approaching a single standard of philosophy, of explaining the system of the universe and the relation of things. Democratic institutions and democratic principles of liberty, which a hundred years ago were looked upon in governing and controlling circles with something of the same distate and disapproval with which so-called bolshevistic principles are now regarded, have found lodgement in some form in every government in the earth. There is now where today an un tempered despotism. There are dictatorships in some eight or nine countries in Europe, but all of them fall short of the dictatorships of former centuries, in rigor of rule. Even Mussolini is probably a milder dictator than any of his predecessors. As "all roads lead to Rome," as the saying was when Rome was the mistress of the world, so in the community of colored folk, all discussions of all questions lead to the "Negro question." In a certain sense this is unfortunate for large understanding and solid judgment. That which goes by the name of "Negro question" is a part of the greater question of all humanity. Nobody is qualified to express an opinion embracing general conceptions of human development as related to difficulties and handicaps which confront the Negro, unless he has the broader and deeper knowledge, which constitutes the basis of a philosophy. And yet there are any number of persons who presume to discuss the "Negro question" whose only qualification therefor consists in the fact either that they are themselves Negroes, or are white people who "know Negroes." This habit and practice is a form of intellectual segregation, and is resulting in the creation of what some people call "Negro psychology." Physical segregation is bad, unjust and anti-social, and, by creating a different environment, may impart, temporarily at least, a different cast of mind. But where a people are instructed only in matters which on the surface appear to have an immediate and pressing relation to their own difficulties, and are not encouraged to become acquainted with national and international questions, they are on the main road leading to intellectual impoverishment and mental bankruptcy. That is why Negroes should in a large way, in their efforts to create business enterprises, seek to develop a group of men well versed in the subjects of economics, taxation, tariffs, banking, domestic afairs, foreign relations, and agricultural and flood relief. A Negro leader and publicist who can speak with full information and with a degree of authority and understanding concerning the domestic and foreign policies of the Coolidge administration will be rendering a service of greater value politically, morally, and intellectually, than one who confines himself to the aspects of the appointment of Walter L. Cohen as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, and the participation of Negroes in party management, or who presumes to tell Negro physicians what sort of automobiles they should use to meet their professional engagements, and Negro ministers what their attitude should be in regard to scriptural interpretation. A LAUGHABLE INFERENCE Our amusing friend Roscoe Simmons has a theory to account for the asinine conduct of Mayor "Jimmie" Walker of New York, in objecting to the presence of black people in a restaurant in Rome, where the mayor was performing one of the stunts which, if publicity accounts are to be credited, characterized his European tour and vacation. Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHING COMMENTS, Jrs. 929 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 Entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 3, 1879 Subscription Rates: One Year, $2.56; Six Months, $1.25. Delivered by carrier during each week, collected monthly. At all newsstands, cents per copy. Advertising rates furnished on request. Simmons says in effect that Jimnie's conduct on this occasion is to be accounted for by the fact that the said Jimnie is a supporter of "Al" Smith for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, and by objecting to the presence of black people as guests at the inn where he was being served, he would demonstrate to Southern Democrats that Al was not in favor of Negro "equality," and thus off-set in the Southern mind any prejudice that might exist because Al is a Catholic and a wet. Of course the present mayor of New York made a spectacle, of himself at every place that he stopped in Europe during the vacation, if newspaper accounts are reliable. If New York wants the kind of man for mayor that Jimmie appears to be, she is entitled to have just that kind. His reported conduct in Rome was silly and contemptible, and can be ascribed to nothing else than the exhibition of the littleness of an abnormal mentality. The trouble with the Simmons' theory is, that it is either ridiculous (which is probably the correct description), or it is a double-edged sword which cuts more than one way. If Southern Democrats can be attracted to Smith by Walker's impertinence, intemperance and lack of humanity, may not another class of voters be driven away from Smith by the same conduct? If Smith is to be judged by the conduct of Walker, why may not other candidates of other parties be judged in like manner by the conduct of their partisans? Those who employ this sort of logic—or fallacy—had better beware. There may be some one abroad taking notes, and at the opportune moment may use this premise to the extreme embarrassment, of some of the candidates of Simmons himself. For, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. It would seem to be only fair to judge men by their own conduct rather than by the conduct of some one or more of their supporters. The kind of Southern Democrat who would come to the Smith standard, because Walker made a fool of himself in Rome is either a member of the Ku Klux Klan, or else too stupid to draw the inference that Simmons draws. As for Walker, the people of the city of New York can be trusted to reward him according to his works. A BUSINESS MEN'S ORGANIZATION Washington life is vibrant and active along many lines. There are, however, many gaps and spaces in it which need plugging and filling. The ministers have their unions and alliances. The doctors have their associations, the lawyers their organization, the teachers their clubs, and the chaufers their assemblies. But the business men seem to be lacking in organizing capacity. This is one gap in our race life in this community which should be filled without delay. There is a large and respectable group of business men of our race here.

HARRY REYNOLDS, DUNBAR HIGH GRADUATE MARRIES Miss Grace Lucille Piper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Piper, was married Wednesday to Harry Bishop Reynolds, well known graduate of Dunbar High School and captain of Cadet Company B which won the high school competitive drill in 1921. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church at his parsonage. Members of the two families were present in company with a few friends. Immediately following the marriage, the newlyweds left for New York City where they will spend a short honeymoon lasting over a week or ten days. On their return to Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds will reside at 36-A O street, northwest. ABYSSINIA SEEKS RELATIONS WITH UNITED STATES By Louis R. Lautier There may be another position added to the diminishing list of traditional jobs for deserving colored Republicans. It is minister-resident to Abyssinia. The State Department has recommended establishing a legation there, but thus far Congress has failed to act. Abyssinia is a mountainous volcanic country in northeast Africa It is designated in the old geographies as the Kingdom of Abyssinia. It has an area of 350,000 square miles and an estimated population of 10,000,000. Its inhabitants are a mixed Hamito-Semitic people, according to German scientists. The Royal family claims descent from Menelik, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. An appeal for the establishment of diplomatic relations with Ethiopia was made to President Coolidge at the White Houss last Saturday by Dr. Charles Martin, representing His Imperial Highness, Tafari Makonnen, crown prince and regent of this ancient nation. Couldn't Accept Gift Dr. Martin presented a letter to the President from His Imperial Highness. With it he also presented an elaborate golden shield, encased in a bright red covering, symbolizing the friendship of Abyssinia for this infant government and the desire for diplomatic relations. The President was unable to accept the gift. The law prohibits the President or other Government officers from accepting gifts from foreign countries. In pleading for recognition by the United States, Dr. Martin said: "Ethiopia, after thousands of years of independence, and a thousand years of undisturbed slumber, wakes to find herself in a world full of energy, engaged in great activities in all spheres of human endeavor. "Our people desire to take the place on this modern world which their history and traditions entitle them to held, but the achievement of this desire entails the solution of many difficult and complicated problems. America a Pattern "In formulating our plans our thoughts turned to your great country as a pattern. It is but natural that we should also turn to your countrymen for help and assistance. "We need your trained teachers your physicians and engineers, your technical experts and skilled artisans. It is our sincere hope that these and other Americans will come to Abyssinia and cooperate with us in the achievement of our aims." Dr. Martin is a black man of Semitic features with an Oxford accent. He has had a colorful career. Sixty years ago the life of the infant Prince of Ethiopia was in danger. He was carried to Great Britain for safety. A little Ethiopian boy was taken with him as a companion. Later the prince died. The boy companion was adopted by a British major and raised as a Briton. He graduated with honors from an English university and from a famous Edinburgh medical college. Returns to Ethiopia He went to India as a member of the British Medical Service. After many years a summons came from his native country. He was wanted by his own people. He returned to Addis Ababa, the capital of Abyssinia. Since then he has been what might be called the Ethiopian minister of civilization without portfolio, bringing education, sanitation and culture to his ancient race. Such is the history of the man who made the appeal to President Coolidge for the establishment of diplomatic relations with a country founded by an offspring of Solomon. THE BUILDING TRADES SCHOOL OPENS Third Term Started Monday The Building Trades School, located at 710 O street, northwest, opened Monday, October 3, for its third time. Classes in bricklaying, plastering and tile setting have been started. The job analysis plan of instruction, which is scientific in its application to trade training will be employed by the instructors in the training of students. This method of instruction enables a student to cover the chosen course in three to four months, depending upon the amount of time the student gives to his practice work. The success of this institution is attributed to the fact that a student may arrange his school hours to suit his working hours; the school being open from nine in the morning until ten in the evening, every day in the week. Blue print reading and estimating is taught along with the various trades. A knowledge of blue print reading and estimating will enable the progressive student to either qualify as a foreman of construction, or give him the necessary education to go into the contracting business for himself. Up to this time the school has enrolled one hundred and eighteen men, both white and colored. The fact that white students enroll in the school, study and work along with colored students, with the additional knowledge that the institution is owned and directed by one of the Negro race, is evidence of the fitness of the school to train them in a highly efficient manner. The usual custom of allowing the first ten students to enroll at a reduction of twenty-five dollars from the regular entrance fee was carried out this year. KIDDIES' C.

THE GOOD CLOWN By Gertrude Mason Once upon a time there was a Royal Prince and he lived in a 'normous turreted castle with a moat and a drawbridge. And while there were lots of Lords and Ladies, and plenty of Lackeys, there were no children in the castle and the little Prince was very lonely. One afternoon the Queen and King were called away by affairs of State and the little Prince was left in the royal nursery with his tutor. Now it chanced that there was a circus in the village far below the valley, and the tutor, risking the King's wrath, took the little Prince. They got away quite quietly and were not recognized. It was a beautiful circus with animals and acrobats and the little Prince was quite dizzy from excitement. Most of all there was a clown, a marvelous clown such as you must have seen, and the little Prince liked him best of all. After the show was over the clown came and bowed low before the little Prince, whom he had recognized, and said, "I'm always at your service, Highness," which excited the Prince very much. Imagine it—a real live clown! Well, the tutor and the Prince got back to the castle safely, and, finding the King and Queen had not arrived, agreed it would save much unpleasance if they kept their visit a secret. For a while all went well, and then, what do you think? The little Prince got scarlet fever, and all the household grew dreadfully alarmed, and the High Court Physician couldn't imagine where he'd picked up the germ. But, of course we know it was from the circus. The poor little Prince was very sick. He ran a very high temperature indeed, and nothing pleased him. "He has something on his mind," said the High Court Physician. And everyone dashed about madly to remove the cause of worry. But no one could guess. Only the tutor. And he was afraid. But finally his fondness for the little Prince overcame his fear and he rode far into the night, returning at dawn with a companion. And what do you think? The little Prince, who has been staring into space for some time, suddenly opened his eyes in wonder. For there, on the foot of his bed, perched the circus clown, all dressed up in his high funny hat. And immediately the Prince's temperature began to go down. And the tutor got a reward for saving his life. And the King made the clown the High Court Jester. So they all lived happily ever after. THE WOLF AND THE LAMB Dear Editor: Here is my favorite fable. It is Aesop's table of the wolf and the lamb. He wrote this and wants us to bear in mind that the world is full of unfair people. LUCILLE MOORE (15) As a Wolf was lapping at the head of a running brook he spied a stray Lamb paddling at some distance down the stream. Having made up his mind to seize her, he bethought himself how he might justify his violence. "Villain!" he said, running up to her, "how dare you muddy the water I am drinking?" "Indeed," said the Lamb humbly, "I do not see how I can disturb the water, since it runs from you to me, not from me to you." "Be that as it may," replied the Wolf, "it was but a year ago that you called me many ill names." "Oh, 'r!'" said the Lamb, trembling, "a year ago I was not born," "Well," replied the Wolf, "if it was not you it was your father, The National Barber and Beauty Culture School has opened at 1916½ 14th street, northwest, with a complete course of tonsorial art; also a coaching course for barbers.

Nearly everybody has used the old expression, "Before you can say Jack Robinson." It means instantly, at once, in a twinkling. There is much uncertainty respecting the origin of the expression. Many have discussed the question without throwing much, if any, additional light on it. The earliest known use of the expression in its modern form appears in "Evelina," a famous novel written by Fanny Burney. That work was first published in 1778. It would seem, however, that "Before you can say Jack Robinson" was proverbial already at that time. In 1885 Francis Grose, the British antiquarian, published his "Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue." Under "Jack Robinson" Grose says: "Before one could say Jack Robinson, a saying to express a very short time, originating from a volatile gentleman of that appellation who would call on his neighbors, and be gone, before his name could be announced." Grose may have given the correct origin, but the story sounds improbable. It smacks too much of the kind of etymology which derives "apothecary" from "a pot he carries." In 1846 James Orchard Hallwell published his "Dictionary of Archaic and Proverbial Words." He repeats what Grose says about Jack Robinson, but adds: "The following lines 'from an old play' are elsewhere given as the original phrase: A warks it ys easy to be done As tys to say, Jack! robys on." This only tends to confound the confusion. In the first place nobody has ever been able to identify this "old play." Then, what does the second line of the old verse mean? Dr. frank Vizetely suggests that it means "As it is to say, Jack robes on." At any rate, many authorities accept Halliwell's theory that "Jack Robinson" in the current expression is merely a corruption of this old line. ter finishing. Enroll now. Great Demand for Barbers.

Lautier If the "I do not choose" statement of President Coolidge means positively that he will not accept another nomination, four colored men will play a more important part in the next Republican National convention than has been played by Negroes since the 1912 convention when the late Henry Lincoln Johnson remained loyal to Taft, made his renomination possible, and caused a split in the Republican party. Those four men are Benjamin Jefferson of Atlanta, Ga., Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., Perry W. Howard, Special assistant to the Attorney General, Washington, D. C., and Robert A. Church of Memphis, Tepp. Two of them, Mr. Davis and Mr. Howard, are members of the Republican National Committee and by virtue of their positions are bound to be important factors in the next Republican National Convention. Mr. Cohen and Mr. Church are the de facto members of the Republican National Committee from their respective states. Emile Kuntz is the legal national committeeman for Louisiana, and Representative J. Will Taylor is the legal national committeeman for Tennessee. But these national committeemen in their actions simply reflect the views of the political bosses of their respective states. Control 70 Votes These four colored men will control a total of 70 votes in the next Republican National Convention, unless there is a change made in the apportionment of delegates at the meeting of the Republican National Committee in December. Georgia will have 18 votes in the convention, Louisiana, 13, Mississippi, 12, and Tennessee, 12. There is a total of 1,109 votes in the convention. Five hundred and fifty five votes are necessary for a choice. The 70 votes controlled by these four men will constitute about one-eighth of the votes necessary for a choice. With an unlimited field of candidates, the bidding for a blooc of 70 votes will be tense. The four men acting in unison can demand and receive more consideration than would be given to single delegations from southern states. With Howard and Cohen hold- ```markdown ``` National Benefit Life Insurance Co. went "OVER THE TOP" 1209 U St., N.W. 2nd Floor C. E. JACKSON ing Federal offices and with Church and Davis not desiring appointments for themselves, there is the possibility that whatever trading may be done for the 70 votes that will be controlled by them, will be upon the basis of fairer treatment to colored people generally by the executive branch of the Government. There are already indications that the four men will play politics together. A conference is said to have been held already for the purpose of pooling their strength in the next Republican National Convention.

ELKS ESTABLISH CIVIL LIBERTIES DEPARTMENT At the recent Grand Lodge convention of the Elks, a resolution was introduced providing for the appointment of a commission of five to be known as the Department of Civil Liberties, said commission to consist of the Grand Exalted Ruler, the Grand Legal Advisor, together with three others to be appointed by the Grand Exalted Ruler. Thus far the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, has named Robert J. Nelson, of Wilmington, Del., and has designated him as the executive director. The other two members are to be appointed later.

Howard Bisons, Disgruntled, Lose Opening Game ```markdown ``` Sam's Scripts "Be fair—and the fairness that lies in the hearts of other men, sleeping but never dead, must some day rise in majesty to meet thine own." The Black Sox are apparently shot. Whether staleness is the cause of the Sox slump or something else, is a question in the minds of most fans. Strange it is indeed that not one of the team's players is performing as capably as he can. Turner, Lacy and Grant are perhaps the worst of the lot. Brown, Gillespie, Davis and Fauntroy are all off form. Crump is unable to play due to an injury received in the Shamrock game. Bland is on at times and at other times way off, and Lyman has lately been denied an opportunity to prove his present worth. W. Smith, Nickens and Euell, the latest acquisitions, have shown up well, but except for G. Smith and Ford, the older men are all playing listlessly. An ex-captain of the Howard football team made the remark to the writer recently that "—— papers always have more to say than any others" in criticism of a news release article having to do with players who had failed to return to the squad this season which appeared in this paper. September 23. I might remind him of the fact that the rating of some football players is dependent, not on ability, but solely on what "—— papers" say of them. It is certainly strange how local athletes are able to receive such little attention when casting their lots with the Howard University football team, yet as soon as they go elsewhere they are considered good enough for a chance. We might take for example, the case of William (Dick) Temple, who last year reported for the Bison training drills early in the fall, who was positively ignored, and who went later to Lincoln, made good and became a fixture on the Lion eleven. This year we find William (Red) Nixon, a class and teammate of Temple's, cavorting on the first eleven at Wilberforce. He is rated better than Kyle whose play in 1926 earned for him an enviable reputation and whose vacancy Nixon is filling. Some persons might present the argument that the Howard squad was much superior to that of either Lincoln or Wilberforce. That is true, hence anyone who thinks that a player is good enough to make either of the latter two teams should be good enough for Howard is foolish. This is not the writer's opinion. It is merely my contention that if these men were capable of this much, it seems they deserved a better fate than being entirely ignored as was Temple, and cast anywhere between the job of holding the line and warning the bench as was Nixon. NOTES FROM INSTITUTE, WEST VIRGINIA INSTITUTE, W. Va. — Institute's line was weakened considerably as a result of the loss of Glover who dropped out of school last week because of finance. Coach Hamblin said that Glover was one of the most promising tackles he had on the squad for many years. Harry Saunders, veteran guard, is back in school and is out with the squad in the capacity of assistant line coach. He is working hard on some rookies trying to develop a man to replace Glover. McConnell, regular fullback of last year, returned to school this week. He has been practicing with the Douglass High squad of Huntington and is in good condition. Coach Goode contends that a backfield man should be able to kick, block, pass, receive passes, form interference, tackle, and run the ends. The backfield men have some real work before them if they satisfy the requirements of Coach Goode. Captain Branch is an ideal leader, full of fight and pead. He encourages his men to work hard by doing so himself. Coaches Hamblin and Goode refuse to comment on the possibilities of the team, but in the opinion of the writer West Virginia will be a hard team to beat. PIGEON OWNED BY WASHINGTON WOMAN. WINS RACE "Silver Fly," a pigeon owned by Mrs. Fred Young, 2269 Ninth street, northwest, won the 200-mile event of a series of races recently staged by the Hill Crest Club. The pigeon was the first of a large number to reach Washington from Danville, Va. THE SPORT REVIEW BARELY KNOWN BLUEFIELD TEAM HUMBLES BLUE & WHITE ELEVEN A Watson-coached Bison eleven, undefeated for three years and peer of college elevens in 1926 went down to ignominious defeat last Saturday by the unbelievable score of 18-7. Their conqueror was a little heralded, lightly held machine from the Bluefield College Institute, a school deposited snugly in the mountain of West Virginia. A mid-summer sun beat its relentless rays down on the Howard stadium as the local gridiron season for the year of 1927 made its debut. Of the several hundred people who were on hand to witness the game, only a very few were able to abstract the slightest thrill, so lifeless was the procedure from a Howard point of view. A listless hulk performed in the place of the "irresistable force" the Blue and White eleven of a year ago characterized. The players evidenced an air of dissension. None of them, from the most tried veteran to the rarest recruit, displayed the brand of pigskin prowess of which they are capable. A disagreement between the Howard Board of Athletic Control and the team, in regard to training table expenses seems to have been the cause of the existence of such dissension as there appeared to be. Disspiritc1 Hilltoppers From the opening kick-off the outweighed Mountaineers unleashed a fighting spirit which literally swept the disspirited and dissipated Hiltoppers off their feet. With no opening ceremonies whatever, the whistle blew and Captain Martin's kick off dropped into the hands of little "Herb" Cain who raced it back to the visitors' 27-yard line. The very first play netted the Mountaineers 13 yards and a first down, as Graves, fullback, slid off his own right tackle. For a moment, however, the local lads held and Bluefield was forced to kick. Payne received the loft on his team's 20-yard mark and was downed in his tracks. A 15-yard penalty, called on the Howard line when they failed to observe the new 1-second pause rule, forced them to kick out. Campbell's punt was blocked by Jeffries, invading end, whose defensive play along with that of Gallion, Bluefield captain, was a thern in the side of the Howardites throughout the contest. First Touchdown Jeffries then reached down, gathered in the free oval and trotted across the final ribbon for the first touchdown of the season in Washington, and made on Howard, exactly 4 minutes and 41 seconds after the initial kick-off. Campbell blocked the placement try for a point. The second break came a few minutes later when Buford intercepted an intended Ross to Campbell pass and ran 39 yards behind perfectly interference for SEMINARY WINS OVER SHAW IN C, I, A, A, OPENER Municipal Stadium, Lynchburg Va.-The Virginia Theological Seminary and College Football team won its opening game of the season by the decisive score of 38.0. Shaw College was the first to have her team succumb to the 1927 edition of "The Dragons." Despite the fact that the Shaw Bears unleashed a varied attack the plans of Coaches Hurt and Williams were so well laid that the visitors were never really dangerous.

Any team in or around the city desiring a scrimmage is requested to call "Steve" Williams at Main 6400. Branch 68, any week day before 4:30 p.m. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor the second touchdown. Cain's dropkick went between the uprights, but the extra point was disallowed when Buford was caught holding. A series of cross bucks and a 26-yard forward pass in which Ross and Tyson figured late in the half placed the ball on the Bluefield 9-yard mark from where Brown carries it over in two line plunges. Payne's try for point was successful. A steady march, in which the entire Bluefield backfield had a part, carried the oval over for the third alien touchdown shortly after resumption of play following the rest period. Cain again missed the try-for-point. Near Riot The final quarter opened with the score 18-7 just as it was when the game ended. A 15-yard clip penalty called by Timekeeper Washington near the close of the game on Harry Payne threatened to start a serious disturbance when Dan Brown and Vernon Smith protested so vigorously as to create quite a degree of dissatisfaction in the Blue and White cheering section. Some little time was consumed in a vain effort to clear the sidelines of the indignant rabblers. Brown left the game. The penalty, which came at a time that a Bluefield kick had carried deep into Bison territory, placed the ball on Howard's 1-yard line. Hinton and Young collaborated in taking the ball out of danger, but all to no avail as Cain took a pass from his center and with a burst of speed circled his right end for 32 yards before he was stopped. The gun went off before another play could be called, and thus, no doubt, saved the 1926 champions from an even more inglorious defeat. Bluefield Positions Howard Jeffries L.E. Tyson Cunningham L.T.

TUSKEGEE SMOTHERS STRAIGHT COLLEGE TUSKEGEE SMOTHERS STRAIGHT COLLEGE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. Oct. 1.—Although the local football fans did not get any tha they did have the double saction action of seeing, from the new eel grandstand, the Tuskegee Tigers pile up a score of 47 to 0 against Straight College, of New Orleans, Louisiana, the Gulf Coast Cham pions of 1926, in the first game of the season here this afternoon. The playing on both sides was ragged and showed the need of considerable more practice. Straight has a plucky team and the players won the admiration and sympathy of the grandstand for their consistent playing throughout the game with almost no relief by substitution. Even taking into consideration the sweltering weather, the Tuskegee machine shows great need of tightening and oiling to 'bring it up to its old time speed and accuracy. No doubt cool weather and hard practice will assist Coach Abbott and his assistants in rounding the team in condition for the games ahead. Line-up and summary: Tuskegee Positions Straight I.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1927 WILBERFORCE DEFEATS MO. LINCOLN 38 - 0 WILBERFORCE, Ohio, Oct. 1. —Living up to the promises made by Coaches Graves and Corruthers, Wilberforce crushed Lincoln University, of Jefferson City, Mo., and caused Lincoln to respect the overwhelming superiority of Wilberforce in being sent back to the "show me" state with a 38 to 6 defeat. William Nikon, former Armstrong (Washington, D. C.) star griddier distinguished himself at guard for "Forcee." Coach Graves pulled a Knute Rockne on Lincoln by sending in the second string men first, much to his sorrow, for in about five minutes of play Lincoln had scored a touchdown. Things began to look bad. The second string men were yanked and the old reliables were sent in with Gomez calling signals. Wilberforce then began to pile up scores.

Westmoreland and 40 aspirants for places on the Armstrong football team are holding daily practice sessions at the Walker Memorial Stadium in preparation for a strenuous campaign of contests. The Tech mentor, desirous of carrying out a schedule he considers half-way decent, has decided to make out as best he can without a purchase of new equipment so that the program of games he has planned may be carried out. The Orange and Blue squad journeys to Bowie, Md., today where they will meet a much improved aggregation than the one which opened the Armstrong season in 1926. While the Armstrong tutor is still undecided in regard to his starting line-up, he will no doubt stand pat on his 1926 choices for quarterback and fullback positions. Thorne and Captain Dabney, the latter an All-Conference choice last year, are expected to do most of the Tech ball carrying in the opening game. Ernest Johnson, end who was lost during the latter part of the 1926 season, is expected to be eligible for play this year. The Armstrong home games are as follows: Oct. 21—Noreum High School, Newport News, Va. Oct. 28—Booker T. Washington, Norfolk, Va. Nov. 11—Douglass High, Balto. Md. Nov. 22—Douglass High School STORER COLLEGE TEAM SLOWLY ROUNDING INTO SHAPE FOR Storer gridders are slowly returning, and conditioning is going slowly. Many places in the Varsity lineup must be filled with second string and new men. Ed. Mitchell, a Baltimore boy is breaking into Storer athletics and the hope is that he will take the unfilled place of Bernard Brown. Hill and Atwell from Philadelphia are showing well in the drills. The schedule for October calls for games with club teams pointing to the game with Morgan College November 5 at Harpers Ferry. MYRTLE PREPS BEAT BROOKLAND GIANTS BROOKLAND, D.

Of the full quota, Coach Pinder-hughes told a Tribune sports reporter, there are about half dozen veterans. The rest are new men with very little football experienee. Sewell, Stokes, Lyons and Johnson stand at the head of a vanguard of aspiring Red and Black gridders working out daily at the Walker Memorial Stadium. Ever mindful of the inexperience which let the coveted championship slip through their fingers on last November 22, the Dunbar coaching staff is doing everything in its power to prevent a recurrence of such an unfortunate break. "Skull drills" are in evidence before each day's practice. In these the players are carefully versed in the disadvantage of quick thinking. It will be remembered that Beckwith, Dunbar halfback who was doing the punting on the occasion of last year's titular clash, allowed a bad pass from center, which went behind the goal rest while an Armstronger fell on it for the tying touchdown.

ORIENTAL TIGERS TAKE MEASURE OF ALL STARS ORIENTAL TIGERS TAKE MEASURE OF ALL STARS "Mac" Adams' Oriental Tigers had a field day during their battle last Sunday with Mertz Lewis' Professional All-Stars at Union League Baseball Park. The colored champions finished on the long end of a 13-8 score. "Red Roy" Powell, who proved himself the peer of local Negro hurlers during the 1927 season was on the slab for the Orients and experienced little difficulty holding the All-Star batters at bay. Were it not for the unsteady support accorded him the white team would have been held to a lone tally, that one scored early in the game. The Southwest clan played the same snappy brand of baseball that has characterized its play during the entire season. Every man was in the game every minute, and, it was just such fighting as carried them to victory over the highly touted Black Sox that gave them the advantage in last Sunday's affair. "Hall" Chase who opposed Powell on the mound, was battered from the opening of the contest to its close. KNOW THE GAME OF FOOTBALL KNOW THE GAME OF FOOTBALL By Dr. Edwin B. Henderson Question—Since the goals are now ten yards behind the goal line on the end lines, is a kicked ball dead when it hits the goal posts? Answer—No. Not all kicked balls. Any kicked ball that crosses the goal line, and strikes the ground or a player or any obstruction is dead; but a free kick or a kick-off must be played before being dead in the end zone. Some players have already made the mistake this year of thinking a free kick that strikes the goal posts is a dead ball. Q—When is it illegal for a player to enreach upon the neutral zone? A—After the referee has ordered, "play ball" by whistle or word, no player of either side may go into the space between the two teams lined up for play without violating the rule. This calls for a five-word penalty. Q.—If a kicked ball is touched by an opponent just as it passes the line of scrimmage, may a member of the kicker's side recover the ball? A.—Under the old rules, one of the kicker's side could recover such a ball after it had been touched by an opponent, and the player who recovered it could advance it. Many times no one but the officials and one player saw the ball touched and the team to whom the ball was kicked would suppose the kicker's side all offside, when some such a player would recover the ball legally. Then, too, the back-field punt receivers were coached not to receive a difficult punt, because a fumble or muff would put the other team onside and a recovery was often fatal. Now on a muffed ball, although anyone may recover it, the ball may not be advanced by a member of the kicking side. Q.—What is the difference between a fumble and a muff? A.—This year, it some situations, everything depends upon whether the official decides that a ball is fumbled or muffed. A muffed ball once was one completely missed, and a fumbled ball was any ball handled or touched by the player and then lost. Now a muffed ball is interpreted to mean a ball lost that has not been in possession and control of a player. It is left to the official's judgment. If the ball is just touched or jugged, it is not in possession and control, and if lost constitutes a muff. Q.—Has the referee been given additional power and how has the duty of officials been modified? A. The referee is now distinctly given the power to mete out justice accordingly as he may decide when players or persons other than those actually on the field become guilty of acts that affect materially the game. Nearly all officials are paid the same money now, and the rule makers have indicated by placing responsibility jointly in many cases that they intend that the officials work as a team and become responsible for nearly all of the plays in equal degree. HORSE OWNED BY .NEGRO WOMAN WINS BIG RACE HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., Oct.—Twenty thousand racing fans saw the Booker colors carried to victory in the sixth race of the final day of the meet here last Saturday when Shadowdale, 7-year old son of Ormondale and Shadow, came past the judges' stand in front of a field of eight starters. The horse is owned by Mrs. Booker, trained by her husband and was ridden by their son, F. Booker. They are colored. Shadowdale rewarded his backers by paying $15.80 for a $2 mutuel to win, $6.90 to place and $4.40 to show. Shadowdale was on the outside down the back stretch. He came around with a rush to take command entering the home stretch and was ridden out at the end to hold off King Solomon's Seal. Jockey Ellis rated King Solomon's Seal off the early pace to the turn out of the backstretch. He was beaten in his final drive when he moved with a rush to finish second. Beneficent made a game effort but was not quite good enough finishing third. TITLES BELONG TO FLOWERS SAYS WALK MILLER, DEACON'S MANAG'R TOGANS EXPRESS SYMPATHY IN REGARD TO INJURY OF COLES-VILLE PLAYER The Togans A. C., of the Washington Tribune Baseball League wish to take this opportunity to express their deepest sympathy for James Matthews, star first baseman of the Colesville Tigers, who sustained a fractured skull as the result of a collision with a Togan player, while the former was making a play at first base during the game at Ivy City last Sunday. As manager of the Togans, I can assure everyone that the incident was purely an accident and that no one regrets the occasion more than my club and JEFF THOMAS, LOCAL HEAVY WEIGHT, MATCHED FOR BALTIMORE. Md.-Julius Norman, Pittsburgh heavyweight, will meet Jeff Thomas of Washington, in the main bout of eight rounds at the New Albert Friday night, October 7. Norman won the amateur championship of the United States in Madison Square Garden last year. Since turning professional he has met and defeated some of the best boys in his division. Thomas holds the championship of the South and when these two meet, a battle of the century is predicted. Willie K. O. Smith is training hard for his fight with Wilbur Cohen, of New York, which will take place October 21. The Northwestern A. A. is presenting an all-star show on that night.

ROOMS $1.00 and Up Dinner Dancing a Specialty Private Dining Room New Jersey Avenue and D Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. By Walk Miller (Manager "Tiger" Flowers) NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 1.—When Tiger Flowers signed to meet Mickey Walker in Chicago, it was stipulated in the contract, that, in the event Flowers lost, he would get a return match within ninety days, also that Walker would not meet anyone in defense of his title until he had fulfilled this agreement. Both agreements as the entire sporting world knows have been broken. Consequently I am bringing suit against Kearns and Walker for $500,000 damages, both in New York and California for breach of contract and before I am through. Jack will know about process servers from a different angle. Nothing more can be said of the decision Benny Yanger rendered in Chicago, that has not already been printed. The fact that the boxing commission of Illinois held three meetings endeavoring to find a clause in the boxing law whereby they could reverse the decision, and failing, ruled that the judges would assist the referee in rendering decisions in the future, speaks for itself. Flowers claims, and will defend, the middle and light-heavyweight titles. He has already defeated most of the prominent ones in the larger class, including Pet McCarty, Maxie Rosenbloom, Harry Dillon, Frank Moody, Lee Anderson, Bing Conley, George Robinson, Benny Ross, Tommy Robson, Allentown Joe Gans, Pete Latzo, Bob Fitzsimmons, Bob Sage, Mike McTigue, Lou Bogash four times, Chuck Wiggans four times, and Eddie Huffman three times. He is ready to fight McTigue, Slattery, Loughren, although all three have refused to meet him.

Whitney and Tutt Alice Gorgas Ida Brown Charlie White Mabel Ridley THIS WEEK UNTIL SUNDAY—"GINGER SNAPS OF 1928" BIG MID-NIGHT RAMBLE, FRIDAY NIGHT—12:15 "THE COUNTRY DOCTOR," A RURAL CLASSIC, AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, October 9, 10 and 11, the screen presentation at the Lincoln Theatre will be the "Country Doctor" starring Rudolph Schildkrabbly supported by Virginia Belford, Junior Coghlan, and Glenn Brockwell. This is a wonderful pictures of the rural life of New England. It is an epic story of an unsung hero, of daring, sacrifice, love, devotion and laughter-the country doctor. On Wednesday and Thursday, October 12, 13, there will be another double feature bill for which the Lincoln Theatre is so well noted. The first of these photoplays will be "The Stolen Bride" starring the screen's bird of Paradise, Billie Dove, supported by the handsome young screen lover, Lloyd Hughes. This is a dazzling, throbbing production of the old world romance where the age-old European customs meet with the modern ideas of freedom and independence and when this happens something is certain to take place quite generally to the disadvantage of the customers. This is a theory in a highly entertaining and original manner in "The Stolen Bride." The second photoplay of the double feature bill will be "Irish Hearts" starring May MacAvoy and Jason Robbins. This is a story of an Irish colleen who comes to America to be a grand lady and lands in a Broadway beanery. She works her way out to romance and riches after many thrilling and adventurous escapades. On Friday and Saturday, October 14 and 15, the screen attraction will be "White Gold" featuring Jetta Goudal supported by Kenneth Thomson and George Bancroft. This is a story of the South American sheep country and depicts the story of a dancer that married an owner of a sheep ranch. She loves her husband but is sadly neglected by him so she becomes infatuated with a sheep herder who she kills to save her honor. On Saturday only, in addition to the showing of "White Gold" there will be shown on the screen as an added attraction the Universal master mystery serial, "Blake of Scotland Yard" starring Hayden Stevenson. On the stage for the entire week of October 9, there will be presented the two celebrated dance artists, Brown and Marguerite. They are recognized as being star artists in stage, ballroom and tango dancing. "DESIRES OF 1928" AT THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK Beginning Monday matinee, October 10, the Howard Theatre presents another one of Irvin C. Miller's productions, "Desires of 1928." It is a happy thought to remember that "Desires of 1928" is produced by Mr. Miller, the man who produced that great success, Brown Skin, Models," "Runnin' Wild," "Bad Habits of 1928" and many other well known successes, for this production Mr. Miller has secured the services of Whitney and Tutt, who created such a marked success with the Smarter Set company. In addition to these wonderful comedians there will be seen in the cast, such notables as Stewart Hampton, Ida Brown, Al Curtis, Alice Gorgas, Charlie White, Clarence Nance, Mabel Ridley and many others too numerous to mention in these columns. In addition to this remarkable cast there will also be seen a chorus of unmistakable Miller beauties, and it is expected that the Washington theatre-goers will be as loud in their praise of this production as they have been in the former Miller shows. In addition to the showing of "Desires of 1928" on the stage, there will be seen on the screen, as an added attraction for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "The Romantic Age" starring the perfect lover of the screen, Eugene O'Brien and the ever vivacious Alberta Vaughn. "The Romantic Age" is a thrilling drama and an exhilarating romance of a happy, jazzy flapper who never knows when to be serious, and knows nothing of sorrow or sadness. After many wild parties and heights of high life at the country clubs she still finds herself trying to make up her mind whether she loves her fiancee or his brother, and finally has a sudden awakening, when her fiancee announces her engagement to his brother. She does not marry the brother, but follows the man she loves, even into the burning factory into which he has gone to save her fortune. All through the theme there are many sensational and thrilling moments. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the screen attraction will be "Paying the Price," with Mary Carr, Priscilla Bonner and George Hackathorn. The plot revolves around two neighboring towns, the peaceful little city where Thomas Gordon, his wife and their two daughters live, and the nearby resort city, with its long street of cafes and evil haunts. It is in this notoriously evil town that the great trag- O THEATRE A. E. Lichtman Matinee, All Seats, 25c Except Su ra 50c; Balcony 30c Only, Beg. Mon RVIN C. MILLER prese HIS ALL NEW EDITION OF res of with edy makes its entrance into the loves of the Gordons. An unusual bit in the de element of the plot is the fact that it is the father himself who, at the girls' persistent pleading, takes them to the city for "just one visit," and thus he is made an uknowing agent against their happiness and honor. On Friday the regular midnight ramble will be held. Tickets for the midnight ramble go on sale at the box office Saturday of the week before the show. "METROPOLIS" THE MARVEL MOVIE OF THE AGE, AT THE REPUBLIC Picture a city a thousand years from now. The rich people live on top of the earth while the workers' homes are deep down in the bowels. The German-made motion picture again scores with "Metropolis," a marvel movie with colossal sets, fantastic theme and exquisite photography. This new UFA production, a Suer-Special picture, will be shown for four days at the Republic Theatre, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 9, 10, 11 and 12. Even superlatives seem inadequate to describe the originality of the story, which deals with the problems of a visioned "Metropolis," the city where once man made machinery and how machinery makes man. "Metropolis" is the climax of cineema magic. It is bold, baffling bewildering. It must be seen. As "Metropolis" will be shown for four days only, you are requested to attend the matinee shows—if possible—for your own comfort. Norma Shearer in "After Midnight" will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, October 13 and 14. "After Midnight" is a dramatic story that takes you behind the scenes of Broadway—gay and sometimes tragic—when the clock strikes midnight. Lawrence Gray and Gwen Lee support Miss Shearer in this picture. On Saturday, October 15, the feature attraction will be "Rich But Honest" a story of youth and love. On the stage there will be three big talent shows, at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30. ORGANIZATION TO PRODUCE NEGRO PICTURES The Famous Artists Corporation of America, a newly organized concern for producing all-star Negro pictures exclusively, has been formed recently. The company will produce features and comedies, using all Negro talent, and will produce Negro news weeklies. The organization is backed by Albert A. Millman, president, who has been in the motion picture business since 1911; I. H. Sault, treasurer; Murray F. Beier, vice-president, associated for many years with a number of the leading motion picture companies; Philip S. Greenberg, secretary. 7th and T Sts., N.W.

It is an all-American romance and one of the most stirring pages of American history ever brought to the screen. Every student of history should see this picture. On Tuesday, one day only, an other favorite, Milton Sills, with Mary Astor in "The Sea Tiger." If you liked Sills in the "Sea Hawk," "Silent Lover" and "Men of Steel," you will like him much better in "The Sea Tiger." On Wednesday and Thursday, Ramon Navarro and Alice Terry appear in "Lovers." The world loves a lover. The week will close on Friday and Saturday with a riot of fun with Harold Lloyd in "The Kid Brother," which we assure: you the best yet of the Lloyd specials.

You see, for the past two or three weeks I was concentrating solely on the Howard Theatre. And what do you think? The whole time I was writing only comments on the shows at the Howard Theatre, none of my notes appeared in the paper. So, I've decided that concentration does me more harm than good. Consequently, once more, I'm going to write about both the Howard and Lincoln programs. A bit of diversity may improve my style. The Lincoln Theatre, this week has a real dancer entertaining on the stage. What he can't do with his feet is hardly worth trying. And the ease with which he hits his rat-tat-tats from one end of the stage to the other is amazing. And what a costume Jack Wiggins dances in! Spangled shirt, spangled sash, spangled hatband, and spangled shoes. I hardly know which sparkles most, his dancing or his costume. The audience certainly appreciated the act, too. He received round after round of applause, and when I was there Sunday evening, he was forced to respond with an encore. He bills himself as Jack "Ginger" Wiggins, champion six-minute tap dancer of the world. We don't know where he got his title, but he's some good. "Ginger Snaps of 1928," a show full of Washington talent is playing the Howard Theatre this week. It is not, however, the same "Ginger Snaps" which has played all the previous engagements of this season in other cities. It lacks the services of its orchestra, Claude Hopkins and his band of tooting musicians. This is actually the first engagement the show has played without its own musicians, yet, it seems to overcome the handicap in good fashion. Claude's presence is felt, however, for he wrote eight of the musical numbers played in the show, principally, "Mirandy," "Bandana land," and "Ginger Snap Stomp." The show, in spite of the problem of becoming accustomed to the music of a strange orchestra, shows up well. The stars include Vivian Brown, the leading lady, who entrances the audiences with her sweet voice, Shakey Beasley, George Williams, comedian, Robert Wade, Charlie and Lawrence, S. H. Dudley, Jr., and Helen Wiggins.

(Continued from page 1) turned to the campus this fall under the impression that this custom would be continued. They were unable, they told the authorities, to pay the required amount, so it has been learned. It is the contention of the team that students who play football are unable to work. The daily practice sessions, they ever, prohibits their taking evening jobs, and if they accept night work, their training hours would necessarily be violated, the players assert. Several of the Howard players are residents of this city. They live with their parents. When these men were told that they would have to live and eat at the university, they became indignant. They could see no reason why they should be expected to assume an expense which they would not have if they were not playing football. After the training table had been in operation for about ten days, an ultimatum was delivered Friday morning, September 30, demanding that the players pay for their training table and quarters before one o'clock that afternoon or "get out." Unable to pay they "got out." Friday night, September 30, the first night they were required to provide their own lodging, the members of the Howard football team, or rather those of them who had secured no place to stay were forced to walk the street or sleep where they could. As a result, players who ordinarily would have been asleep, found themselves succumbing to the lure of "big times" and cabarets. It is alleged a night of carousel was in vogue. It was decided among the players that none of them were to play in the opening game with Bluefield College, Saturday, October 1. Word had travelled throughout the campus grounds that there was to be no game. Coach Louis L. Watson gathered the men early Saturday morning and appealed to them to play. They agreed. They played and due more to a dampened spirit than anything else, lost. dances on the right end as you sit in the audience watching the performance. The most beautiful act in the show, not discounting any of the rest of it, is the classical dance number. Of all the colored dances teams, this one seems to have more art and more any other I have seen. Their act-surably captivated the audience, too. The publicity for the show is handled by a Washington man, also, Charley Johnson. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY We Will Call Day or Night. Ask Us for Free Estimate.

Beginning at one o'clock Monday, twenty-two recruits and Fourteen veterans, who had been selected as members of the team to represent the university during the 1927 season, began filing into the supply office of the Director of Physical Education with their uniforms and equipment. Coach Watson greeted them one at a time and checked the articles as they were returned, in good condition. "We are not striking, we are quilting," asserted Captain Milford (Biff) Martin, who was among the first to arrive at the director's office. "The boys realize they cannot meet the demands of the university, and are only doing what they must do—return what does not belong to them. We demand nothing," he said. Discouraging Professionalism The university administration claims that in addition to making the move in a spirit of economy, the action is to discourage the practice of professionalism which exists as long as there is a provision for free board and lodging for athletes. The University Constitution. President Johnson contends, should be adhered to strictly to the letter, with no regard as to whether or not Howard will ever be represented in football. The section of the Constitution to which attention is directed, in effect says, that no student shall receive any financial aid to cover expenses from any person except those upon whom he is naturally dependent. No money is to be allowed to provide for expenses because of his ability as an athlete. Dr. Johnson feels that athletes are students and must therefore meet any financial requirement that other students meet. Not only it is claimed, did the president strenuously object to the sale of tags by members of the Student Council when they were making an effort to raise the necessary money to pay for the training table and quarters, but it is said, he also declared that any help from the alumni would be disfateful as far as the administration is concerned. Other Statements Asked to voice what he believes to be the opinion of, the students, Robert Mance, who was, in charge of the committee telling the task said, "We believe the idea morally right, but practically and ethically wrong." Charles Donohy, ex-captain and All-American Fallback of the Howard team, gave the writer his impression of the move, "The principal is good, but the method is poor," said Donohy. Several of the various Alumni Associations are believed to be endeavoring to raise the funds necessary for the continuation of the V. H. Washington of the North training table and quarters. Dr. Jersey Alumnae Association ar- (Continued from page 1) "I readily agree with those who say that President Cogadde has not done all for us that we expected of him, but I fear no successful contradiction when I say that he is one of the finest 'partymen' the country has ever known. "To those who say he has not been fair to our group, I think we should take into consideration the value and measure of the things he has done. For instance, in the appointment of Walter L. Cohen as comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., one of the most outhe has done. For instance, in the heart of the South, which a colored man has never held before, he showed himself courageous even to the point of daring in brooking the well known solidified, anti-Negro sentiment in that section of the country. Negroes' Political Power "Today Negroes hold more political power in the very machinery of the party than ever before. It is all right to talk about dividing votes in Vetting states, but what the Negro in politics needs is a part of the machinery of the native organization. "We want anti-lynching legislation. But if we would have a bill passed by the Senate, colored voters must get busy and help to elect to the Senate men who will fight and vote for an anti-lynching bill. It is useless to attempt to send Democrats to the Senate with the hope that they will support such a measure. Not one of the Democratic Senators, whom our group supported, has been favorable to an anti-lynching bill. "What we need is unity and concert of action among colored party leaders and a cessation of differences and dissipation of energy, which always results in insatiation and defeat." TWO MEMPHIS BANKS MERGE MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. The first merger of two Negro banks occurred here Saturday when the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company and the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company combined. The merger was effective October 8. The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company was established in 1906. It has a capital stock of $100,000. T. H. Hayes was its president in the city Wednesday morning. October 5. He talked to the older men on the squad. They are pledged to secrecy concerning what move his colleagues anticipated making. It is believed, though that he was authorized to pledge money to help re-establish the training table. ident. The Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company was established two years later. Its capital stock was $50,000. Its president was A. F. Ward. The merger of these two banks will give the community a stronger financial institution and will result in a savings of 50 per cent in overhead expenses. Mr. Ward will be the president of the new institution, which will be housed in the present home of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company at Beale avenue and New South Third street. The merger of these two banks, it is understood, was made possible and brought about by R. R. Church and Wayman Wilkerson, who had been working on the project for more than a year. RICHMOND CAMPAIGNS FOR NEGRO HOSPITAL RICHMOND, Va., Out. 6.—In the greatest community campaign ever waged in Richmond, colored people have pledged $100,000 toward the New Richmond Hospital for colored people, paying a large portion of it in cash and having reached their quota are beginning an effort among the white people of the city to secure the additional $100,000 needed to complete what is expected to be one of the best colored hospitals in the South.

SEVENTH and M STREETS, N.W. Phone Main 1292 EIGHT By Francis Spriggs The annual pilgrimage to the Cardinal Gibbons Institute at Ridge, Md., last Sunday was a success. About fifteen hundred people from Washington, Baltimore and the surrounding counties of Maryland made up this wonderful crowd of Catholics in the interest of education. Due to the illness of Colonel Daniel Springgs, the grand president of the Baltimore Grand Commandery of the Knights of St. John, Lieutenant William Wilson, vice-president was the acting chairman. A military parade headed by the captain, R. N. Carter in command was very tricky. Two drill teams in the absence of Co'onel Holton of the Ladies' Auxiliary from Baltimore and the old reliable 64th from Washington were on hand. The speaker of the day was Hon. George Peabody, of New York, who is widely known on the trustee board of Hampton Insti ute. Father LaFarge, of New York, was the other speaker, G. B. Mahoney was master of ceremonies. After a six-weeks' vacation divided between Atlantic City, Upper Marlboro and Washington, Mrs. Veronica Quander of Greenwich, Connecticut, has returned home. While in this city she stopped with Mrs. Charles Cobert, of 46 Defreses street, northwest. She was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Quander at their residence 216 N street, northwest. The stork has visited Colonel and Mrs. L. DeReef Holton of 1F street, northwest and a fine baby boy who will be named L. DeReef, Jr. Baby and mother are doing fine.

OMEGA PSI PHI OFFERS CASH PRIZES Announcement has been made by Attorney Walter H. Mazky in charge of the administrative offices of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, that in connection with its observance of Negro achievement from November 14 to 20, inclusive, several cash prizes will be offered to the successful entrants in a national examination or test of knowledge of Negro history. The examination will be conducted on similar lines as last year when students of the University of Cincinnati won all of the prizes. It is believed that this was due largely to the fact that the University of Cincinnati offers a course in the study of Negro life and history and the results of the last examination serves to emphasize the need for such courses, in other institutions of learning. Any person desiring to compete in this campaign should write to H. H. Thomas, 154 Ashby street, southwest, Atlanta, Georgia. MISS EVA D. BOWLES TO ATTEND Y.W.C.A. CONFERENCE Miss Eva D.

It has been said of Miss Bowles that "It was her vision, which prepared the way" for what has been done in this work for colored women.
