liceman, attached to Number 4 precinct, took suddenly ill and had to be rushed to Emergency Hospital.
Private Crawford, who lives at 1602 D street, northeast, was wounded 4 years age at the same time that his partner, Officer John W. Purcell was skilled in the alley in the rear of Bell School in southwest, for which their four assailants are now serving life imprisonment.
It will be remembered that for sometime after the shooting Officer Crawford lay in Emergency Hospital seriously ill as the result of a severe stomach wound. He barely escaped death, due largely to a blood transfusion for which Policeman Robert Carroll, now desk sergeant at the fourth precinct, voluntarily gave a pint of blood.
The illness Monday is believed to be a recurrence of that injury.

HAMPTON INST. IS RE-OPENED AFTER STRIKE
HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 27. — Hampton Institute reopened last Tuesday after having been temporarily closed on account of a student strike since October 13. According to information from the office of the principal, 875 students are in attendance and more are returning to the school daily. Prior to the strike the enrollment of Hampton Institute was approximately 1100 students. The demands of the students will be carefully considered, it was stated. As a result of the strike, five men students have been dismissed, 29 students including eight women students have been suspended and 30 students are on a temporary ineligible list. Dismissed students cannot return to Hampton Institute. There has been no expulsions, which would prevent students from entering other schools. Press reports that Dr. Thomas W. Turner and Dr. R. Nathaniel Dell has resigned from the institution because they were sympathetic with the striking students, were denied. A statement from the school declared that both teachers had remained loyal to the administration and will continue in their respective positions.
Liberalism the issue
The issue involved in the strike was principally liberalism. The students rebelled against archaic HAMPTON—rules and incompetent teaching, Turning on of lights in a moving picture show in Ogden Hall on October 8 only precipitated the strike.
The students demanded a more progressive educational system at Hampton, teachers in all subjects having at least a high school education, recognition of the student's council, adoption of a competitive method of selecting commissioned officers in the cadet corps, permission to wear civilian clothes from Saturday noon to Sunday mornings, better food and laundering, extension of the Christmas holidays from six to ten days, and the privilege to dance at a number of social functions each year.
The executive committee of the Hampton alumni association on October 21 voted to support the administration in the student strike.

Negro Helps Nab 2 White Officers Accepting Bribe
Stepping out from their hiding place at Second street and Virginia avenue, southeast. Tuesday afternoon, Headquarters Detective Ogle and Weber placed two white policemen, Ralph G. Blasey and Robert L. Smith under arrest. They were taken to number five precinct station house and charged with accepting a bribe. Claude Newson, of 209 Virginia avenue, southeast, was instrumental in the capture.
The two officers, it is alleged, captured a liquor laden car on Monday, October 17. The occupants are said to have escaped. The car and whiskey were taken to the fifth precinct while an investigation was started to learn the identity of the escaped occupants of the machine. Newson, it seems, the police believed, was interested in the recovery of the car. According to reports, he was approached by Blasey and Smith and told that the car would be turned over to him for a cash consideration.
Newson Reports Offer
Calling on Inspector H. G. Pratt, chief of the police bureau, Newson to him.
A trap was then laid. Newson was given $50 in marked bills and instructed to meet the policemen. He met them at Second street and and Virginia avenue, about 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. After the money is alleged to have been passed, Newson wiped his forehead with his handkerchief as a signal and the arrest of the patrolmen followed. The marked money was recovered when the two men were taken to number five precinct station house. They were relieved of duty, suspended and placed under arrest. They were charged with blackmail, and bond was placed at $2,500.
Blasey is 25 years old and married. He lives at 643 Ninth street, northeast. He has been on the Metropolitan force for three years. Smith, who has seen five years of police duty, is 27 years old. He too is married. Smith lives at 320 B street, northeast. Newson, nicknamed "Red," is a familiar sight at various athletic games in which colored teams participate in the southeast section. He is an ardent follower of baseball and football.
INNOCENT NEGRO IS FREED OF MURDER
INNOCENT NEGRO IS FREED OF MURDER
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 28. (PNS)—The story of an alleged frame-up which had started an innocent and uneducated Negro on his way to the electric chair for murder and actually kept him in prison nearly three months, was revealed here Wednesday in General Sessions when Judge Koenig freed Leroy Leeks, 25, and ordered the indictment against him dismissed. Leeks was to have gone on trial for shooting Joseph Poricker, grocery clerk, who was killed on March 28.
Judge Koenig's action was taken on recommendation of Assistant District Attorney Brothers and was due to investigations by him and George William Clune, the lawyer appointed by the court to defend the penniless man. Two detectives, Samuel J. Battle and William Boyden, were accused of a "frame-up" which "railroaded" Leeks into a suspected murderer's cell in a confession by Richard Daly, an ex-convict and State's sole witness, that he had lied in his original "identification" of Leeks as the murderer.
"It is a shock to know that such a thing like this can happen in a civilized community. It could happen to you or to me as easily as it did to Leeks," declared District Attorney Banton.
At the time of Leeks' arrest he was handcuffed and his three-room janitor's apartment was ransacked for weapons, which were not found. He was taken to the scene of the murder, but denied ever having been there before.
Mr. Clune's investigation disclosed that Leeks was in bed with the grip under a doctor's care on the night of the killing, that he enjoys a fine reputation and never had been arrested before. Leeks is now without money and has lost his job. He has a wife, Mrs. Irena Leeks, who stuck by him, and a two-year old boy.

INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE
REORGANIZED
DR. MORDECAI JOHNSON ENTHUSIASM NOTICEABLE TO SPEAK IN N. CARO. IN PRE-CAMPAIGN WORD
Recent rumblings of dissatisfaction among the Pullman porters are escaping to the ears of the outside world. The Pullman Company's determined effort to stamp out the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Employees has resulted in the discharge of veteran porters who have spent the best days of their lives in faithful service to this company.
One of the recent victims of this new system of harrying "union" men out of the service is Edward Ridgeley, 1862 Third street, northwest. Mr. Ridgeley was given a "ten-day leave of absence" on September 27. Since that time, he h's not been recalled to work.
Mr. Ridgeley lost his leg in an accident at the yards in October, 1925. He was run over by an engine. At this time, he had been for twenty-two years in the company's employ; and had always been considered an efficient and faithful employee.
Recovering his health, Mr. Ridgeley had been given employment in the Washington storeroom of the company, by the Chicago office. Aording to available information, however, it seems that about this time the local superintendent had become aware of the fact that Ridgeley belonged to the Brotherhood.
Given His Dismissal
Recently Mr. Ridgeley has had

EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE NEARS CLOSE OF MEET
The twentieth annual convention of the National Equal Rights League and "Race Get-together Congress," which ends tonight (Friday) with observation of Ladies Night, has been in session all week at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, northwest. Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson and other prominent women were some of the speakers.
The program during the week started with an "Anti-Segregation" sermon on Sunday, October 23. Tuesday, at 8 p.m., the opening mass meeting was held. Prof. Neval H. Thomas, Robert J. Nelson, Dr. George Frazier Millee, president of the National Equal Rights League, were the speakers. On Wednesday, the convention moved to the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, where a ministers mass meeting was held. This included platform service and open forum. The speakers were Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Dr. W. A. Taylor, and Dr. H. B. Taylor.
Fraternity night was observed on Thursday evening, when the convention returned to its headquarters at John Wesley Church. The principal address was delivered by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks. Other addresses were made by officials of other benevolent and fraternal organizations.
GOLDSBORO, N. C.—Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, will be one of the speakers at the meeting of the North Carolina Teachers' Association, November 23-25. Some of the other speakers include Dr. James T. Dillard, Charlottesville, Va., president of the John F. Slater Fund; Jackson Davis, Richmond, Va., field agent of the General Education Board; and Dr. John J. Tigert, United States commissioner of education.
The membership of the association is 2,500. In all probability, it is claimed, the membership will be 3000 members before the end of the year. Two thousand teachers are expected to be in attendance at the Goldsboro meeting, thus making it perhaps the largest gathering of colored teachers in the country.
The railroads have granted reduced rates to the meeting.
Norman Murray Is New Mayor of Highland Beach
By Louis R. Lautier
Meet his honor the new Mayor of Highland Beach! He is Norman D. Murray, of 1726 S street, northwest, summering at the Chesapeake Bay resort for the past eight years. He was treasurer of Highland Beach for six years and has been a member of the Board of
NORMAN D. MURRAY, who has been elected mayor of Highland Beach, a fashionable summer resort in Anne Arundel County, Md.
Commissioners for the past three years.
Mr. Murray was elected at a meeting of the Board of Commissioners at the city residence of Mrs. Beatrice J. Walker, 504 Trest, northwest, last Tuesday night.
Under the ordinances of this municipality, voters of Highland Beach elect five commissioners each year, and the commissioners in turn elect a president of the board, who is the mayor of the resort. The commissioners are Norman D. Murray, Edwin H. Henderson, Dr. J. Milton Francis, Haley G. Douglass and Mrs. Beatrice J. Walker.
Mr. Murray succeeds Mayor Henderson, who was not a candidate for re-election. He supported Mr. Murray for the office. Under Mayor Henderson, Highland Beach attained notoriety, the city council having adopted an ordinance to prohibit the use of the town streets for picnics and the use of the beach by visitors who are not guests of some resident. It was also under his mayoralty that extensive building operations were carried on, each person erecting a cottage seeking to outdo the other. When interviewed Mr. Murray declared that he had no reforms to put into effect. He said that he would seek to carry out the ordinances of the municipality. He would not outline his program for running the summer resort where the society folk of Washington and Baltimore play.
Other officers elected at the meeting of the commissioners were Roscoe C. Evans, secretary, and Mrs. Beatrice Walker, treasurer.

DISCRIMINATION SEEN IN DEALING WITH VIOLATORS OF THE MATERNITY RULE
APPROVE PLANS FOR SQUARE AT VERMONT AND V
At a meeting of the National Park and Planning Commission held Tuesday, plans were approved for the developing of a square at the northern end of Vermont avenue at V street, northwest. With the erection of the new junior high school on the site now occupied by the Garnet-Patterson School, the council plans to take steps toward beautifying the environment. The first move toward that end is the proposed transforming of the plot now occupied by a group of houses. Vermont avenue, it seems, is to be cut through to Soldiers' Home. The new park, then will be placed north of V street between Vermont avenue and Ninth street, and south of W street. The program also calls for a new approach to Griffith Stadium. This will be accomplished by the intended connection of W' street with Trumbull street. Complete plans will be presented to Congress in December.
FORFEITS $15 FOR DISOBEYING NEGRO OFFICER
FORFEITS $15 FOR DISOBEYING NEGRO OFFICER
Fifteen berries were sapped from the weekly allowance of George Cooney, white, last Saturday afternoon when he became offended because a police officer cautioned him about approaching too close to the rear of a street car which had stopped for passengers. Leonard S. Thomas, patrolman attached to number eight precinct police station made the arrest. Cooney, who gave his address as Georgetown University, evidenced by his actions a belief that because he had recently become 21 years old, and a man, and a white man, that no mere policeman and certainly no colored policeman had a right to warn him when he chose to violate the traffic regulations. He may have been right at that, because what are traffic laws for if there are to be no violators?
Well anyway, George and five companions were in the former's Cadillac car leaving the ball park after the Georgetown-West Virginia game. Probably that had something to do with it, too. The youth, no doubt, felt that all Washington, even the M.P.'s, should be doing homage to the Hilltoppers cause they had won the "big game." Officer Thomas thought differently. Well anyway, when the Cadillac reached Ninth and U streets, northwest, the policeman left the curb to board a street car which was in front of the 'party of white boys. Cooney, driving, ran the automobile right up to the step of the car. Officer Thomas in his jovial way called, "Be careful, buddy, that's a little close." "Aw go dry up" or something worse, it seems the auto occupants chorused.
Stepping back off the street car, the policeman ordered them over to the curb. Instead of obeying, Cooney moved off. Thomas jumped or the running board and rode as far as Vermont avenue and U street before he succeeded in stopping the car himself.
Very indignant, Cooney was carried to number eight precinct where he was charged with "failure to stop eight or more feet behind a street car, and failure to obey an officer's signal." The $15 collateral was gotten up among his friends.
In police court Monday morning, the six white boys were present in company with another, a member of the law firm of Lambert and Yeatman. The lawyer spoke to Thomas, but as the officer declared that he would press the charges, Cooney's collateral was forfeited.

Discrimination in the administration of the rules of the Board of Education was exposed at a secret meeting of the school board on October 18, it was learned Tuesday. The meeting was not a meeting of the Board of Education. It is against the law for the board to have secret meetings. The meeting on the night of October 18 was a meeting of the personnel committee with the full board in attendance. The question of violation of the maternity leave rule was under consideration. A number of teachers in divisions 10 to 13 which comprise the colored schools, have been denied reinstatement. They went out on maternity leave. Upon making application for reinstatement; when they became eligible, they were informed that they had violated the maternity leave rule by remaining in the class room beyond the period required by the rules of the board.
Asks for Records
Asks for Records
In the discussion, Henry Gilligan asked the question, why were all the cases in the colored schools. The board members suddenly grew dumb. Then Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, a physician, spoke up. He had Robert L. Haycock, a first assistant superintendent in charge of white elementary schools, to produce his record in maternity leave cases. Mr. Haycock replied that his records were not ready. Dr. Johnson told him to produce such of his records as were ready.
According to information, the partial records of Mr. Haycock showed eighteen cases of violations down after call-down. And now—he has his walking papers.

FORMER TEACHER SUES DISTRICT FOR S1808.05
FORMER TEACHER SUES DISTRICT FOR S1808.05
Mrs. Marion Shadd Butcher, a former District of Coulumbia public school teacher now living in New York City, filed suit against the District of Columbia in the District Supreme Court last Thursday for the sum of 1,808.05 with interest.
Mrs. Shadd taught in the District public schools from September 26, 1906, to February 7, 1924, when she was retired by the Board of Education because of physical disability.
During the 17½ years she taught, deductions were made from her salary for an annuity, she claims. Upon her retirement, she says, she was entitled to receive $35 a month to June 30, 1926, when her monthly annuity payments should have been increased to $52.86 by an act of Congress.
The District of Columbia, she declares has failed and refused to pay her anything and owes her a total of $1,808.05.
She is represented by Attorneys Lambert and Yeatman and May T. Bigelow.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1927
(World's Temperature Sunday)
Subject: Amos Denounces Sin.
Study: Amos 2:4; 3:15.
Golden Text: "Seek good, and
not evil, that ye may live; and so
the Lord, the God of hosts, shall
be with you, as ye have spoken."
Amos 5:14.
LESSON STUDY prepared by
Miss MARY F. BUTLER,
Superintendent of the First Baptist
Sunday School, Warrenton, Va.
Sunday, October 30, has been set
apart as World's Temperature Sun-
day. The Sunday school lesson for
that day is taken from the second
chapter and the fourth verse
through the fifteenth verse of
the third chapter of the book of Amos,
which verses our readers are
requested to study carefully.
It will be noted that temperance in drink is not the only or the main point of this lesson, but that its general teaching unit is the relation of religion to right ways of living. In the verses of the lesson, Amos, the fiery prophet, is denouncing the habitual sins of Israel and of the surrounding nations in a most drastic and fearless fashion.
Israel had come to be not only an occasional, but a habitual transgressor of the laws of God. Disregard for law, then as now, means disrespect for the authority behind the law. In the case of had been broken, and, therefore, God had been aggrieved. Amos enumerates Israel's sins and fearlessly warns her of the impending vengeance of her aggrieved God.
Israel's oppression of the poor, her idolatrous practices, her disregard for Jehovah's commandments and her general wickedness were sins which had become offensive to Heaven. The Prophet justifies Israel's threatened doom by citing these terrible sins which had been committed in spite of the mercies, favors and honors which God had bestowed upon his chosen but backslidden people. The prophetic warning of Amos to Israel and its sister-nations is, and the ultimate fulfillment of those prophecies should also be a warning to present-day religious indifference and its consequent wickedness. False religious ideas were no more detrimental to all that is good and noble in Amos' day than they are in our own. Religion is still so related to right ways of living that fallacy in the one leads inevitably to dire consequences in the other.
If there are moral degeneracy and spiritual laxity in our present world they are no doubt tracable to the same cause to which Amos traced those of his people and day, viz., false religious ideas and their resultant disregard for Jehovah's laws. Israel was faithfully warned by God's prophet, Amos. She failed to heed the warnings, and the results of her failure thus to act makes some of history's saddest pages. As we look about us at our present world do we find our religious outlook entirely dissimilar to that of Israel in Amos' day? If not, God has his warning prophets today as he had Amos then, warning against sin and proclaiming the true faith.
Sinful indulgence characterizes false religion, but temperance and self-control characterize the true faith. Every true follower of Christ should do all he can to promote law and order and lives of temperance in all things. Let us not make the mistake that Israel made and thus lay ourselves open to suffer the same fate which she suffered.

WASHINGTON CHURCHES
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF
MT. ZION METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
(29th St. bet. O St. & Dumbarton
Avenue, N.W.)
By H. H. Beason
In 1816 the colored people who
had worshipped with the white
people thought it best to have a
church of their own and purchased
a lot of a Mr. Foxall and built a
brick church on Mill street near
U street.
The church was organized October
16, 1816, with such persons as
William Crusor, William Trunwell,
Shadrack Nugent, Thomas Mason,
Polly Hill, Tamar Green and Lucy
Neal.
The church was called Meeting
House until 1844, when Rev. Rosel,
the pastor changed the name to
Mt. Zion.
In 1849 the question of having colored ministers to pastorate colored churches arose and caused considerable dissension with the result that the founders of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, John Wesley A. M. E. Zion and Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion withdrew and organized those churches.
Rev. John H. Price, the first colored pastor was appointed to Mount Zion, November 1, 1884. Rev. N. M. Carroll organize da number of auxiliaries and the trustee board
the trustee board.
The church's present site, Twenty-ninth street, between Dumbarton avenue and O street, northwest, was purchased during the pastorate of Rev. Benjamin Brown.
The church was destroyed by fire July 12, 1880, and the congregation worshipped in Samaritan Hall. Word had been begun on the new church on Twenty-ninth street.
Work had been begun on the new church was held in the lecture room October 31, 1880. The auditorium was completed and dedicated July, 1884, during the pastorate of Rev. Alexander Dennis, and the choir organized.
The pipe organ was installed in the church and a recital held April 1888.
A lot on which to build a parsonage was purchased while Rev. H. A. Carroll was pastor; also the 31st session of the Washington Annual Conference was held in the Church.
The 80th Anniversary was celebrated with an elaborate program in 1896 during the pastorate of Rev. E. W. S. Peck. In this year a parsonage was built.
A jubilee was held November 18, 1903.
The church was remodeled and a re-opening services held Sunday, December 17, 1905. The 90th Anniversary of the Church was observed while Rev. B. T. Perkins was the pastor.
The 100th Anniversary was celebrated with an elaborate program covering the month of October, 1916.
Men, women, boys and girls days were instituted and became great days in the church history. The debt on the church was paid and the mortgage burned November, 1918. Rev. D. D. Turpeau was pastor.
Through the great centenary movement of the Methodist Church, a community house was established and the opening exercises held while Rev. A. J. Mitchell was pastor.
Rev. C. Y. Trigg established a vacation Bible school which was a great benefit to the youth of the church.

"The Youth Movement"
WEEKLY SERMON
Y.M.C.A.
By Rev. J. MILTON WALDRON
"The Second Coming of our Lord." What is it? I want to use as a text, the First Chapter of the Acts, ninth and tenth verses: "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly."—Did you ever fix your eyes on an object and could not seem to take them off
"And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel."
We speak of the first and second advents of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The word "advent" means to appear, and then there is another Greek word for "appear" which means to shine forth, which means to hasten in order to appear and to appear gloriously. The second advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, is not something that we are to see with our minds, but a thing we are to see with our eyes as well. Now in the word of God, there are two advents spoken of, in connection with the return of Jesus.
The first advent took place when Jesus was born a babe in Bethlehem. Jesus was born of a woman and took upon Himself our human nature, and that without sin.
Not only was Christ's first coming predicted, but His second coming was also foretold.
By "the second coming," we mean that Jesus Christ is coming back to this earth in a body. The Angels said to the Apostles, "Why stand ye gazing up into heaven?" They saw Jesus going up in His body. After His resurrection, Jesus said, "Handle me." "Spirits do not have material bodies." "Handle me," and to doubting Thomas he said, "Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing." It was not a make-believe body but one that was completely adapted to His abode in heaven. We are going to have a body that will be a complete servant of the soul.
There are a great many people who say, "Jesus Christ is constantly coming." Yes, He is constantly coming but not in His body. He comes into your heart and mine, into a sinner's heart when he accepts Christ, but that is not His second coming, Jesus Christ is coming back in His body. In the second place, the second coming is to be visible. "They shall look upon Him whom they have pierced." Not only is Jesus' second coming going to be in a body so that every one will see Him, but His second coming will be glorious and universal. He is going to appear in light and glory. He was crucified and there was none to do Him honor. My Lord is still rejected by the many, but Jesus Christ is coming back with the holy angels and redeemed saints. Jesus is coming back in honor, glory and power and there are hundreds of passages of scripture I could present to prove this, but I have not the space to give them to you. Now whether you care to believe it or not, if God teaches it, and you are a child of God, it is your business to believe it. But you say, "I don't understand it."
Say, see here. As I ride along on a train, I see horses, sheep and geese eating the same grass in the same pasture; on the back of the horses is hair, on the back of the sheep, wool, and on the back of the geese, feather; can you tell me how it is that the same grass produced hair on the horses' back, wool on the sheep's back, and feathers on the back of the geese. Can you explain that? Now, when you can explain that phenomenon, I shall be able to explain everything in this Book.
I have four things I want to impress upon you.
1st. Jesus Christ is coming back to this world, and God's Word says this in many places.
2nd. That second coming of Christ will be universal and shall be like lightning that flashes out of the East and shineth even unto the West. His second coming shall so fill all places that all men everywhere, shall see Jesus Christ when He comes, again.
The trustees of Lincoln Congregational Temple have announced that a bazaar will be given in the lecture room of the church the week of October 31 to November 4, inclusive. Several booths will be set up, including supper booths, fishing pond, vegetables, candy, men's furnishings, stationery, ice cream and cake, and women's and men's clothing.
Prizes will be awarded to the most comically costumed person and to the best fancy costumed person attending the bazaar on the opening night, Halloween. Admission is free. Rev. R. W. Brooks is pastor of the church.
PEW RALLY AT SECOND
BAPTIST CHURCH
Next Sunday, at Second Baptist Church, Third street between
1930
Rev. J. MILTON WALDRON is pastor of Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church, 9th and N Streets, N.W. He is also actively interested in local charity.
3rd. This coming of our Lord is to be in a body—a human body—a body that can never die, that can never get sick, that can never get tired; in a body that shall be a complete servant of the soul.
4th. This second coming is to be glorious. Christ has had His day of humility. He is coming back with joy and gladness, with the saints and with the angels, and we who are alive shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and we shall be caught up and carried away with Him.
Now, you ask, "What has this got to do with our lives?" Just this—Brother Carrington read to you the parables of the ten virgins, and he said, "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." Then you remember the parable of the pounds and how Christ said, "We have been faithful and now I am going to reward you." We are taught to watch, to be faithful and we must obey. Now, do you know why the church of the living God is so worldly-minded, today? They have said, "The Lord delayeth His coming. Jesus has gone away and it is a long, long time before He shall come back and we need not be in a big hurry."
Suppose you had a dear mother and she said, "Children, I am go-back and found you away and the return on Friday. I don't know at what hour." Suppose she, came saw him, the door flew open, and house locked up? How could she feel? She would be sorrowful and would say, "I don't think my children want me back." Do you want Jesus to come and find the church locked against Him? I want to be watching for the return of Jesus. But suppose nobody teaches you concerning His second coming. We need to know that Jesus is coming back and to be ready for His return.
There lived in days gone by a famous king, who had a faithful servant—a poor servant afflicted by disease. But he was cheerful and faithful in all he did and the king decided he would honor that servant and bring him to live with himself in his palace. And, in order that the people around might love this servant and honor him, the king, himself, went in his own chariot and stopped at the cabin, and got out, and knocked at the door. Indeed, he did not have to knock, for his servant was waiting for his king, and as soon as he sait him, the door flew open, and the servant waited to do his master's bidding. "I have come to take you to live with me," said the king. And as he took him into the chariot, the king said, "He has been a faithful servant." And all the people did him homage.
Our houses, no matter how fine they may be, are mere cabins compared with Heaven. We may have the wealth of Vanderbilt but that is nothing compared to Heaven. And Jesus is coming back for us, and those of us who are still living will be changed in the twinkling of an eye and the whole world will see how He lifted them and redeemed them. Jesus Christ is coming back for you and me. I want to be at the cabin door waiting for Him when He comes!

ees, only about 30 are colored,
makes whatever happens there of
great interest to the race and the
world in. gentral

trate the haze and get the real

two papers which were out and out
supporters of the Hampton admin-
istration; while all the other edi-
tors either were neutral or were
rejoiced at the manifestations of
real liberalism on the part of the
students, ‘These editors are more
or less inclined ‘to the views of
Bertram Russell who says: “If you
cannot liberalize the student there
is no hope for America.”
‘The Atlanta Independent _ob-
serves that “College strikes in Ne-
gro schools are becoming a threat-
ening menace to the life and ef-
ficiency of college and university
education | sinong our colored
youths.” While the Chicago Whip
asks the question: “What is the
cause of all this unrest?” and con-
tinues by asking: “Is it because
the present-day student is becom-
ing insolent, unruly, vandalistic
and not amenable to discipline or is
it because some of the intolerance
of the Puritan educators still
hangs over in our present educa-
tional system?”
‘The Norfolk Journal and Guide
declares that: “Disciplinary meas-
ures invoked by modern colleges
are not harsh, but some modern
students are hard on discipline.”
“The trouble,” the Guide says, “is
that the colleges are overloaded
with a lot of saps that ought never
have gone to college.” ‘The Atlan-
ta Independent says: “Some scien-
tific test ought to be applied to find
‘out who should go to collexe and
tho should go to shop or elsewhere
for the education that will best fit
them for practical every-day li
Be ‘While not giving any oo
felfic causes, the New York Amster-
dam News believes that “behind
such a wholesale strike there must
be deeper reasons than those giv-
ene
‘The Washington Eagle says:
“We cannot subscribe to insubor-
@ination by the youth but it seems
to us that the present-day youth
cannot be treated in the same man-
mer they were treated twenty-five
years ago.” In this view The
Eagle is supported by the Amster-
dam News who says: “It may be
that the way the Negro student
was handled thirty years ago jis
not the way to handle him now.”
‘The Boston Chronicle is of the
opinion that: “It, however, does
not require exhaustive research to
discover that each strike was
isymptomatic of, ‘infection’ purely
focal.” Continuing, the Cronicle’s
editor says: “We believe this phase
‘of the situation is attributable to
Pampton's insistence upon treat-
college undergrads like insti-
tute pupils in the process of
change from an industrial and ag-
Ticultural school into a real col-
lege.”
The Atlanta Independent takes
the view that: “The faculty is al-
ways the better judge of what the
student body needs than a few up-
starts and hot-head leaders who
are being educated largely by pub-
lie charity.” ‘The. Washington
Eagle takes the position that:
“What is needed at Hampton is a
thorough investigation so that the
¥eal reasons may be ascertained
for the strike of the students.” The
Andianapolis Recorder says: “We
think the school offteials should an-
swer the grave charges of the stu-
dents as quickly and as fully as
certain other informatoin has been
given to the public concerning the
strike.”
‘The Chicago Whip asserts: “It is
high time that our educators
awakened to the fact that self-
determination among students to
some extentand the abolition of
unnecessary rigidity will bring out
a better understanding.” While
the Baltimore: Afro-American says:
“Those students may be wrong 01
ill advised; but the big fact is that
they organized and struck.” After
making a further observation the
‘Afro says: “The force back of this
mass student action is far deeper
than even they understand.” Thi
paper then adds: “Flaming, yor
can speak out and act. That i
why the world has progressed.”

Sam's Scripts
"I told you so"—didn't I say that Pete Tyson would never make an end? Just look what happened last Saturday in Charleston, W.Va. The "ole boy" jes' played his head off in his position as wingman on the Howard team, and what was the result? Instead of accepting him as just an end, they wanted to make a coach out of him. No fooling he was offered the job as tutor of one of the high schools spuads.
Seriously now, Tyson was outstanding in the game against Institute. The Charleston Gazette in its story of the battle says: The contest uncovered one of the most brilliant players that has ever been seen on the local field in Tyson Howard wingman, who played a great game offensively and figured more prominently in the defensive play of the team. Tyson possessed rather an uncanny ability in analyzing Institute's formations and was "in" on practically every play."
Where are our local "paid player" teams that they allowed two basketball performers of the calibre of Soup Turner and Slim Thomas slip through their fingers. These men are signed with the Baltimore Elks.
I see by the papers—Joe Holman, prominent in sports writing circles throughout the East, threw quite a tribute at a Negro in one of his write-ups in Sunday's Times-Herald. Holman's story of the Fordham-George Washington game which was played at Central Stadium Saturday, included the following paragraph: "The superb condition of the locals was clearly in evidence. Only one substitution was made during the course of the game, the entire line-up pulling through in a fashion similar to Brown University's once invincible 'iron men.'
The man who is solely responsible for the physical condition of the George Washington players (referred to as the locals) is colored. He is none other than the brother of Eddie and Ev Davis, popular local athletes. Bert Green, as he is known to the majority of those who admire him is trainer of the Hatchetites.

THE SPORT REVIEW
CHARLESTON, W. V., Oct. 22.—Before a crowd of nearly 7,000 persons, the eleventh annual battle between football teams representing the Howard University and the West Virginia Collegiate Institute went to the Mountaineers here today by the score of 6-0. Frequent fumbles and poor judgment aided materially in the victory the Yellowjackets enjoyed over their traditional Capital City rivals. The touchdown, scored early in the opening period was the result of a blocked Howard punt.
Johnson, Institute center, broke through and backed Coles' attempt to kick and the locals recovered on Howard's 28-yard line. This, the first break of the game turned out to be the deciding one. The thrusts at the visitors' line availed naught, but a forward pass from the fingers of Branch fell into the waiting arms of Nash who dived across the goal line. The try-for-point failed. In the second quarter the Bisons uncorked an aerial attack which gained them 40 yards in the first three plays. Two digs at the West Virginia forward wall and a forward and a lateral pass and the pigskin changed hands. Nash punted out of danger.
Five consecutive first downs, during which the invaders marched from their 26-yard ribbon 54 yards down field to the Institute 20-yard chalk mark, were useless when Jack Coles elected to call a forward pass and it was intercepted by Halfback Hundley. Nash again kicked the ball from its menacing position. The last quarter was practically free of thrills. Both teams did very little ground gaining. The oval see-sawed back and forth around midfield. Branch and Nash were the outstanding local players, while Tyson and Coles performed creditably for the Blue and White Institute.

GUS MOORE AT U, OF PITT
BREAKS ANOTHER RECORD
By William Forsythe, Jr.
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 22. Gus Moore, the sensational New York distance star, formerly of St. Bonaventure College but now wearing the colors of the University of Pittsburgh, made an auspicious debut here today when he smashed the course record in the cross-country run against Garneg
A
A TRACK STAR, who is making good. Gus Moore breaks cross-country record. ie Tech freshmen. Gus bettered the old mark by nearly 43 seconds; fashing off the distance of two and three-quarter miles in 14:37½ seconds. Gus started off like a whirlwind, and when he passed the first mile he held an easy advantage of at least 200 yards over the trailing pack. The Schenley Park Course was unusually easy for the sturdy Gus who trotted over the hills with remarkable grace and ease, never being pressed for the lead at any time during the grind.
Two other colored lads were in the running, Frank Gaines and Uttterback, who finished third and fourth, respectively. Both of these lads put up a game fight but the brainy Gus had it head and shoulders over them all, and his prowess was not to be denied victory and he broke the freshmen record of 15:20, made in 1926. The Pitt Freshmen meet the Kiski Prep School team in their next race.
COMMUNITY STARTS PRE-SEASON WORK AT Y
The Community Athletic Association, whose team created quite a furore in basketball circles last season, had her squad in its initial workout at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday night.
In addition to Zig Johnson, Slat Frazier, Jimmie Lee, Herman Glivens, Sam Lacy, Joe Walker and Tommie Neale of the 1926-27 squad, Speck Lee and Brother Gray of the 1925 Yellowjackets' aggregation reported a program of calisthenics was the order of the first practice session.
The Community quint opens its season on Friday, December 2, when the strong Monumental Elks will be met in Baltimore. The coming basketball season will make its initial bow to local fandom when the Yellowjackets, well known for their defeat of the champion Alcoes at the close of ast season, serve as hosts to the Monumental Elks, Monday night, December 12 at the Lincoln Colonnade.
The Elks, Baltimore's newest combination, consists of a collection of the best basketeers in this vicinity. Slim Thomas, generally accepted as the Capital's pivotman in 1927 as well as Soup Turner, probably the greatest floor player ever developed in this city are in the Elks' line-up. Dennis Simpson, Scrappy Brown, Tiny Brown, Cute Brown and Herb Keller are also with the Monumentals.

HAMPTON STOPS STRONG V.N.I.I. ELEVEN
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Oct. 27—King of the Blue and White eleven ran seventy yards from kick formation to make the winning touchdown against the sturdy Virginia State College squad of Petersburg, Virginia, on Armstrong Field. The game from start to finish was a clean-cut "battle of toes" between King of Hampton, and Williams of Virginia State. Both punters were used extensively in the battle to gain a scoring position. King, however, had the edge on Williams as his punts had a little more distance to them. Baker alternated with King on several of the punts.
After punting back and forth for a whole quarter and part of another, Hampton hit upon a brilliant idea—and that idea won the game. King, Hampton's kicker, was in position to kick but instead of kicking the whole backfield and line swung to the right and took out perfectly so that King could run through an almost clear field, with the exception of a few would-be tacklers, for a touchdown. Hunter failed to make the place kick for the extra point. The run was a pretty one, as it came from a man playing his first full game.

The Elite Panthers, winners of Class A title, fell 6-4 before the slants of Bus Frazier and the rally of the Maylanders. The ex-Georgetown Prep star pitcher fanned 16 of Tiny Hansborough's batsmen. Young Adams, nephew to the once famous LeDroit Tiger southpaw, serving in the pinch hitting role, swatted a homer to tie the score in the Marylanders' final frame. Toots Brown gave an exhibition of first base play seldom equalled on local sandlots.

LIONS AGAIN DEFEATED, SEMINARY VICTORIOUS
LYNCHBURG, Va., Oct. 21.—Sweeping with the force of a cyclone, Captain Walker and his warriors under the supervision of Coach Hurt hung up a score of 13-0 over the Lincoln Lions, here today and caused them to respect the overwhelming superiority of Virginia Seminary. Coach Morrison of Lincoln, was once the coach of Coach Hurt which caused him to take the defeat seriously. The crashing and long line plunges, the wide ground gaining, the slashing tackle attacks and the general superiority of the Dragons put them in the limelight as one of the best teams to ever represent Seminary.
The first quarter of the game ended scoreless. In the second quarter the Dragons received the punt on her 30-yard line. Constant ground gaining, line plunges together with sweeping end runs placed the pigskin on Lincoln's 10-yard line. Two passes were completed and after a private conference, Davis shot a perfect arrow pass to Lightning Fowler, who raced behind the goal, snatched the sphere from the air and made the first score of the day. The kick for the extra point was made good by Davis.
The second score came as a result of a clever running attack. Hibbler, Lincoln quarterback, picked up a fumbled ball behind the goal and ran 102 yards in vain. Lincoln presented a strong team and unloosed plays that only a well trained team could understand.

TEDDY BEAR-STONEWALL
GO CARDED FOR SUNDAY
TEDDY BEAR-STONEWALL
GO CARDED FOR SUNDAY
The Stonewall A. C., starring Puds Brown and Musco West will tackle a greatly strengthened Teddy Bear machine, Sunday at 2:30 at the Monument Lot. The Stonewall team will have its hands full as a combination of the Georgetown Preps and Teddy Bears trot out on the field in the blue and white colors of the latter. The two clubs have consolidated. Brown and West, the backfield mainstays of the southeast clan, should experience no little difficulty in their attempts at ground gaining against the array of talent the lads from "out west" present.
Generally accepted as "just a bunch of stars," the Bears may provide a few surprises in their type of team play. Coach Johnny Mack Tatum, himself a star griddler of "brute man" days, has been laboring diligently, for the past two weeks moulding the bunch into a machine.
With little Ralph Dorsey and Joe Dodson added to the Teddy Bear backfield, and Walter Gigaby and Hoff Hamilton playing the wings, the northwest lads have acquired much strength. As far as the remainder of the lines goes, it could hardly be considered weak with Blue, Mills and Proctor filling three of the five positions.
On Sunday, November 6, the blue and and white team intends to furnish local football enthusiasts with a feature never seen before in this city—a double-header in the fall sport. They will meet the Willowtree Playgrounds at 1 o'clock and the Buffaloes immediately after.
ROAMERS TO MEET PIRATES
Coach Willie Mack Murray's champion Alexandra Roamer eleven will serve as hosts to the fast and youthful Washington Pirate aggregation Sunday on their new field in Alexandria, Va., located between Henry Princess, Oronoco and Fayette streets. Though the Pirates suffered a setback in a practice scrimmage with the Buffaloes whom the Virginians defeated 13-0 Sunday, October 16, they have promised the chesty title holders a merry battle.
Coach Happy Deans advances an opinion that his new defense will prove a thorn in the side to the Roamers, Shanklin, Brooks and Polindexer, of the Alexandrians' backfield, should meet quite a stubborn set of Pirate defenders if predictions from the playground can be accepted seriously.
Enthusiastic and strenuous workouts accompany each practice session of the Washington team, and appearances are that the Pirates are laboring collectively toward one end—"beat the Roamers."
PIRATES IN DAILY PRACTICE

The Washington Pirates, prominent through the summer months in baseball circles, are working out daily, under the wing of Coach Happy Deans. Practices are being held at 4:30 p.m. at Sixth and Trumbull streets, northwest.

It is to be regretted that Negroes, in so many instances, cannot put their business relations upon an amicable basis. Business, as it is today, is basically a matter of faith and trust, a fact which has been recently pointed out on numerous occasions by the leading writers in the field of business. Checks written in Washington on a bank in Chicago are cashed because the Washington bank has faith in the other, though nearly a thousand miles lie between them.
But, this foundation, upon which the business of today is built is shattered when the principals reach the point of distrust and jealousy. Progress may be made, success may result, in spite of distrust and jealousy. But progress and success cannot develop in the proportions that they would if distrust and the "green-eyed monster," jealousy, were discarded for amicability and faith.
On my last visit back-stage at the Howard Theatre, I found the "green-eyed monster" stalking about among the characters in the show, which we class here as a business proposition. And though he had not as yet ruined the show, he had greatly impaired what might have been an overwhelming success. In my usual way, I went back-stage and inquired for the stage manager of the production. I was referred to a gentleman act-

ing in that capacity during the brief absence of Mr. Slater, the producer of "Flashes of 1928." The first thing, of course, that I asked for was the names of the principals. A list of five names was given me. Immediately I was accosted by several players who wanted to know what list I had been given. About five names were found missing. Therein started a wrangle. And when I finally cased outside without any physical injuries, I left a group still arguing about the incident. It was a petty thing, of course, but the "monster" had swelled it to the greatest proportions. And, no doubt, it is affecting the quality of the show.
This column, however, is not devoted to editor comment, so let's mention the show.
"Flashes of 1928," though late in appearing at the Howard Theatre this week, due to the delay in the arrival of scenery and costumes, opened before a crowded house for the first appearance at 9:45 Monday night. The show, though a bit raw and bordering on "burlesque" in many spots, was peppy and entertaining.
Heading the cast is Izzy Ring-gold, late of "Connie's Inn Revue," Izzy was seen recently at the Lincoln Theatre, at which time she captivated her audience with dance and song. Her appearance at the Howard, the well received, is not of the same quality as was on her previous showing. This is explained, however, by the fact that Izzy is laboring under the handicap of a heavy cold.
T'. other characters in "Flashes of 1928" include Andrew Tribble, Galli DeGaston, Alice Dixon (the

little French-looking girl who sings "Cherie" with the foreign accent), Billy Andrews, Marcus Slater (the producer), Robert Rice (Kid Snow), Inez Dennis, George Wiltshire, Montrose Brooks, Mary Straine, and Chadney and Taylor. The chorus, a snappy, beautiful bunch, who are real dancers, boasts of two Washington girls, Jewel Thomas, a favorite with the "gang," and Montreie Stewart. Mrs. Poindexter, known by all the girls in the show as "Mother," is the wardrobe mistress. She, too, is a Washingtonian.
An added attraction in the show is "The Great Evans," who imitating the feats of Houdini, escapes from straight-jackets, hand-cuffs, chains, and ropes, right before the eyes of the audience in record time. He is indeed entertaining, and one marvels at his dexterity in freeing himself. Wednesday evening, he permitted a 250-pound stone to be broken with a twenty-pound sledge hammer, while the stone was lying on his chest. O-o-o-h!
The Lincoln Theatre is presenting no stage attraction this week because of the length of the picture showing there, "The Big Parade." The musical scores and stage settings, however, give a lot of attraction to the picture.
DOLORES COSTELLO IN THE "HEART OF MARYLAND" AT THE LINCOLN WEEK
The screen attraction at the Lincoln Theatre for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, October 30, 31 and November 1 will be "The Heart of Maryland" starring the beautiful Dolores Costello as the girl who loved the gray but risked her life for the blue.
This is a story of the exciting and glamorous Civil War days. Supporting Dolores Costello will be seen her sister Helene, also Myrna Loy, Jason Robards, Carol Nye, Charlise E. B.ulla as Abe Lincoln, James Welch, as Robert E. Lee and Walter Rogers as U. S. Grant.
On Wednesday and Thursday, November 2 and 3, the Lincoln Theatre management will give to the Washington public another of its celebrated double feature programs the first of these being "Broadway Lights,' featuring Sam Hardy and Lois Wilson. This is a production which portrays the gayest and saddest side of life on the great white way. The other of the double feature bill will be "Whiteflannels" featuring Louise Dresser, Jason Robards and Virginia Browne Faire. This is one of the most poignant stories of mother love ever stold. It is a drama of coal miner's wife who wanted her son to be a college boy.
On Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5 will be seen the ever adorable Lewis. Stone in the "Prince of Headwaters" supported

by an all-star cast. It is one of the really exceptional pictures of season with Mr. Stone in his most dramatic role as Pierre, the head waiter at the Ritz in New York. On Saturday only, there will also be seen on the screen as an added attraction the Universal mystery serial, "Blake of Scotland Yard," featuring Hayden Stevenson. On the stage there will be three big talent shows at 5, 7:15 and 9:15. Friday and Saturday, October 28 and 29, will positively be the last two days on which the "Big Parade" will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre. In order that every one might see this picture, the management has made special arrangements for a special children's performance on Saturday morning, October 29 at 10 a.m., with the special admission price for children only of fifteen cents. During this Saturday morning performance and all other performances on Saturday the Universal serial, "Blake of Scotland Yard" will be shown.
POLA NEGRI IN "BARBED WIRE" AT THE REPUBLIC
The empress of emotion—Pola Negri—wins her right to that title by her performance in "Barbed Wire," her latest and greatest super-special picture to be shown at the Republic Theater on Sunday.

and 2. "Barbed Wire" is undoubtedly one of the most unusual motion pictures to come out of the war, since it deals with an angle of the great conflict hitherto untouched by motion picture producers, life behind the battle lines.
Miss Negri in the role of Mona, a French girl who is irresistably attracted to and forced in spite of all instinctive hatreds to love a wartime German prisoner, reaches the sublime heights of her dramatic art. It is the story of a French girl caught with her coun-

Clive Brook, seen last week at the Republic in "Underworld" plays opposite Miss Negri and has another wonderful role, as the German prisoner Miss Negri falls in love with. Einar Hanson, the young Swedish actor, also has an important part in the cast. By all means, see "Barbed Wire" and see dramatic acting at its pinnacle.
John Gilbert, the famous star of "The Big Parade" will be shown in "Cameo Kirby" on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 3, 4, and 5. "Cameo Kirby" is a powerful drama of a Mississippi River gambler who staked his soul on a beautiful woman. It is a super-special picture.
Gilbert has one of the best roles in his career in this great picture of Mississippi River days. On Saturday only, there will be three big talent shows at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30.
Beginning Sunday, Noyember 6, for the first time at popular prices the Republic Theatre will present, "What Price Glory," the William Fox Motion Picture epic that thrilled the world.

was recently damaged by smoke from a fire in the building, will be closed for two weeks beginning Monday October 31. The regular shows will be held Saturday and Sunday, however. On Saturday, will be shown John Gilbert, Ernest Torrence, and Jean Crawford in "Twelve Miles Out" originally booked for two days, will be shown for only the one, "Tracked by the Police," featuring Rin Tin Tin, the Wonder Dog of the Age. The supporting cast includes Jason Robards, Virginia Frown Faire, Tom Santschi, and Miss Nanette. During the period that the theatre is closed, the house will be newly decorated in and out. When completed, a big display advertisement will announce the grand reopening. At that time, souvenirs and favors will be given away to the patrons.
The management contemplates installing a new organ in the theatre; and an effort will be made to have this for the re-opening; though not promised.
WHITMAN SISTERS IN THEIR ALL NEW SHOW AT THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK
The Whitman Sisters, Alice Bert and Essie, and all the rest of the gang, will be back to the Howard Theatre again for the first time in a year for one week only
Syd Chaplin as "Old Bill" in "The Better 'Ole"
beginning Monday matinee, October 31. This time the Whitman Sisters who seem to improve rather by experience than by age, will bring to Washington their all-new show, "Dancin' Fools." From reports from other cities in which they have played, they have been attracting large and capacity audiences. The show is a typical Whitman show. There is plenty of speed, high class dancing and a snappy chorus. During the Whitman Sisters' last visit to Washington the management was forced to keep them over a second week. And even though with the two weeks many people were unable to see them. The management therefore expresses the hope that the theatre-goers of Washington will come early so that every one might be able to see this wonderful show within one week. Due to subsequent bookings it will be impossible to hold them over this year.
In addition to the Whitman Sisters' show there will be shown on the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "Dance Magic" featuring the handsome juvenile lover, Ben Lyon, supported by Pauline Starke. This is a story of Manhattan in the jazz age, and of a girl who gave up the narrow way of her reality for the Broadway of her dreams—hut, Broadway failed her. It answers the age old question as to whether or not a woman can attain fame and at the same time assume the responsibility of married life and make as great a success as if she were single.
On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday the screen attraction will be Syd Chaplin in the "Bette Ole." The big comedy hit taken from the play by Bruce Bairnsford and Arthur Eliot.
It is probably well remembered that Bruce Bairnsfather was the cartoonist who characterized "Old Bill" in the leading papers throughout the country during the World War. The story is that of "Old Bill" and his pals amid the billets and bullets of the World War. The picture, however, is not one filled with the usual weirdness of war, but on the other hand, depicts the fun-side of the soldiers during those trying times of war. On Friday night the regular m.night ramble will be held. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box-office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show.
DR. MONTGOMERY ILL
Dr. Winfield S. Montgomery, retired supervisor of colored public schools, is ill at his residence, 1912 Eleventh street, northwest.
Dr. Montgomery, taken suddenly ill while at his home last Saturday, is believed to be suffering from high blood pressure. He is under the care of a physician and trained nurse.
BLACK & WHITE CIRCLE CLUB IS POPULAR
The barn dance given by the Black and White Circle Club at the Murray Palace Casino last Thursday evening was the biggest affair of its kind this season. The hall was beautifully and approments. Nearly everybody in the effect and special lighting arrangement decorated with a rustic large crowd present wore a costume. There were illustrated songs by Charles Lee and the entertainer from the Oriental Gardens nite club did a special number. After the dance the club entertained at the Nite Club Bohemia.
The members of the Black and White Circle Club are E. Leak, president; O. Ward, vice-president; E. Watson, secretary; Charles Jones, assistant secretary; George Baskerville, sergeant-at-arms; Fred Myers, assistant sergeant-at-arms; Charles Lee, business manager and treasurer; R. Ward, Robert Newman, R. Dent, E. Towles and J. Smith.
Music was by Branson's Society orchestra. The next big affair will be a masquerade dance at the Murray Palace Casion on Thursday evening, November 10.
CLAUDE B. AMOS AT NATIONAL BENEFIT HOME OFFICE
President R. H. Rutherford, of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, announces the transfer of Claude B. Amos, former manager of the Philadelphia district, to the management of the mixed department of the Washington, D. C. District. During the last five years he has been continuously employed by National Benefit, being assigned first to the South Jersey District, operating out of Camden. After three years in the Camden office he was transferred to the Philadelphia District. His general reputation for organizational work, and for creating a spirit of good will among the workers led to his transfer to the District of Columbia.
Mr. Amos attended Williston Academy, Massachusetts, and was one of the pioneer members of the Mu-So-Lit Club of this city. He is a member of the A. M. E. Church.

William Stone, 1401-A South Capitol street, twenty-six years in the service, was found asleep and fired—and after twenty-six years of service. It is contended that Stone slept only during his legal rest period. B. F. Foster, 1117 Twenty-second street, northwest, was also found asleep. He had been with the company for twenty-four years; as was Herbert Lancaster, 1506 First street, northwest, who had been thirteen years in the service. Mr. Lancaster was discharged suddenly. He is the father of several minor children, the youngest of which is a baby under one year old.
Lockley Discharged
J. F. Lockley, 1625 Fourth street, northwest, was "found" to be intoxicated for the first time, in his seventeen years of service. For this reason, he was quickly dispatched. While, for the good of the service, Mr. Anthony, 752 L street, northeast, was handed his pay. This was Mr. Anthony's present, when he returned from his run October 13, last. His discharge had been signed October 11. These wholesale discharges of veteran employees of the Pullman Company is a part of the company's program of breaking the Brotherhood's membership among the porters. Life for the "union" man has been made miserable in the Pullman service.
It is alleged that porters are being watched by spies. Many men have been accused of talking to too many "New York" porters. Others have been threatened and intimidated to the extent that they dare not acknowledge their membership in the Brotherhood. Known "union" men cannot possibly "get by" an inspector, it is claimed. There is one case on record where an employee of twenty years in the service had twenty-five things wrong in his car, at the time of an inspection.
Circular Letter
In the midst of this undercurrent of ill-feeling, a circular letter signed, R. L. Mays, Labor Organizer, Chicago, has appeared at the local yard. This letter, which denounces the Brotherhood movement and A. Philip Randolph, its organizer, is being distributed by certain "pet" employees of the Pullman Company.
The appearance of this letter brings into the open the Pullman Company's policy of not tolerating

the organization of its porters. It is apparent, the part that R. L. Mays, Labor Organizer, is playing. The past paragraph of R. L. May's letter to the porters is published herewith:
"A Service of Truth"
A Service of Truth
"I know that I am rendering the Pullman Porters my best service when I say to them, stop all this foolishness. If any man disagree with me, I ask him to look back to the job he had before he entered the service, then look forward to the jobs the fellows have who recently have left the service, and THINK. Also, think of the available jobs of equal value open to black men. Think, should "The Man" say tomorrow to just three hundred porters or about one-third of ten per cent of the total force, "For the good of the service you are no longer employed," then go home and face your wives who have at least a slight idea of what you make, all told, and I will wager a penny that you will preach the doctrine of "Co-operation and Service" for your own advantage and not conflict to keep some bird in a political job as a "Race" leader, emancipator, lecturer, or newspaper owner.
Mays is Hired
R. L. Mays had organized a union of porters in 1918. When he failed to represent fifty-one per cent of the porters, he lost his case before the U. S. Labor Board. Shortly thereafter, Mays dropped from the picture, to re-appear in 1925, at which time he offered his services to Mr. Randolph, who refused gratefully. Now, Mr. Mays is coming out wide-openly in the service of the Fullman Company. He is doing work similar to that of men here in Washington. Savage and D. O. Smith, Pullman porters, took the names of their brethren in toil, who attended the Brotherhood meetings at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, September 7, 8, and 9.
On September 9, these men went inside the meeting, where they were openly accused of being spies, and where they were given a chance to come forward and deny the fact. On thus being publicly accused, Savage ran from the church. Smith stole out quietly at a convenient time.

These two "intelligence men" together with John Hammond, 35 Quincy place, northwest, one of the "sign out" men at the local yards, were prime figures at a banquet held at Harrison's Cafe on the night of October 17. At this banquet, a set of resolutions were forced down the throats of the unsuspecting guests, who signed because they wanted to work some more. This resolution pledged the support of the porters to the Pullman Company and denounced the Brotherhood.

charged with violating the Harrison narcotic law, was issued October 4. Accompanied by Mr. Houston, Dr. West appeared at the office of Commissioner Turnage. Bond of $3,000 was arranged for him. Attorney William L. Houston of the law firm of Houston and Houston, made the following statement last Wednesday.
Report a Mistake
"With reference to the charge which appeared in the papers to the effect that Dr. Charles I. West had violated the provisions of the Harrison narcotic act, we immediately made an investigation and found that it was a mistake and that the doctor at no time had ever transgressed the law in that particular.
"It was an unfortunate occurrence that Dr. West, who for a period of 33 years has been a duly licensed practicing physician in the District of Columbia with an enviable and unblemished reputation should be thus charged with such an offense because during the whole period of his residence in this city, dating from his birth to the present, and the time in which he has been an active practitioner, no charge of any nature, kind or description has ever been made against him for violating any of the laws of the District of Columbia or the United States
Doctor Surprised
"It was a shocking surprise to the doctor, his patients and host of friends, and was known to be untrue by the doctor and was not credited by either his patients or those who have given him their confidence and friendship during all these years.
"His connection with the Howard University medical school for more than a third of a century, during which time he has been a guide and an inspiration to the countless men who have pursued their studies in that institution and have gone out into the world to establish themselves in the practice of medicine where they have succeeded in a large measure because of the training and guidance received from Dr. West, emphatically belies the charge and the publication.
"It was with a view to learning the truth of the matter that we conducted an exhaustive investigation with the gratifying result that we found Dr. West was innocent of the charge made against him for violating the narcotic act." "This statement is made at this
Thus, the Pullman Company is gradually welding a band of steel around the Pullman porters. The pathetic part of it is that this is being done through Negro spies and pseudo leaders.

ALPHA CONVENES IN CLEVELAND CHRISTMAS
ALPHA CONVENES IN CLEVELAND CHRISTMAS
CLEVELAND, Ohio —What will probably be the most largely attended convention in the history of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will take place December 27-31 in this city when the 20th annual convention convenes, according to Geo. Hinton, vice-chairman of the local general convention committee. It is pointed out that the Alpha Phi Alpha is the oldest Negro Greek letter college fraternity, having been organized at Cornell University in 1906. It has a membership of nearly 4000, and 70 odd chapters in the leading institutions throughout the country.
The motto of this convention is "Closing Closer in Cleveland."
"Uleaving Closer in the Under the leadership of Robert Brooks, local junior delegate to the convention, an "All-Ohio Committee" has been formed consisting of representatives of all the Ohio chapters and Dr. B. A. Rose, of Dayton, national vice-president. That committee is working to bring delegations from Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Wilberforce, Athens, and Akron, where chapters of this fraternity exist.
Headquarters will be established Mt. Zion Congregational Temple, E. 55th Street and Central Avenue and registration and housing of delegates and visitors will be in charge of Harvey B. Atkins. The public session which will be held at Mt. Zion Temple will be addressed by the mayor of the city, the national president, Raymond W. Cannon of Minneapolis, and some of the most outstanding members of the fraternity in the country. The program is under the supervision of Elmer J. Cheeks, former national vice-president and senior delegate for the local chapter.
Reports from the office of the general secretary, Joseph H. B. Evans, of Atlanta, Georgia, and the general treasurer, Attorney P. R. Piper of Detroit, Michigan, indicate that the fraternity is enjoying a very prosperous year. The Go-To-High-School, Go-To-College program has been even more successful than in previous years.

By Dr. Edwin B. Henderson
Question—Safety man on team B signals for fair catch. As he makes catch, end on team A tackles him, but does not cause him to drop the ball or fall to the ground. Should the referee award the penalty of 15 yards?—John Kennedy, Arlington, Va.
Answer—No. If maker of the fair catch was thrown to the ground or interfered with it so that he dropped the ball or was injured, then fair catch should be allowed after a distance penalty of 15 yards. In the case described, fair catch was not interfered with, nor was the man thrown to the ground. It is a dangerous practice, however, for the man on the kicking team to touch the maker of a fair catch.
Q.If a player wears illegal equipment and does not correct the fault within two minutes, and is suspended, how long does the suspension last?
Decorative Silk Pillows ALL COLORS
A.-For the entire game.
Q.-Is it tripping to block an opponent of the blocker's arms below the opponent's knees?
A.-Yes. See rule VI, section 10.
Q.-How do you interpret rule VII, section 1, which indicates that the loser of the toss has two options?
A.-The rule makers slipped up in the use of the English language as they have in several other places. If the winner of the toss elects the kick-off, it is obvious that the loser has only one choice, that of electing either goal. Receiving the kick-off is no choice. If the winner of the toss elects to defend either goal, the loser may kick or receive.
Q.-If a player gets off-side in a neutral zone but gets back on-side before the ball is snapped, may he be penalized for encroachment in the neutral zone before the ball is snapped?
A.—The rules here are confusing. It was formerly indicated that a player could not encroach upon the neutral zone after the teams had lined up, yet a player who jumped across the zone but got back on side before the ball was snapped was not penalized by most officials. There is conflict. The writer formerly penalized only for deliberate encroachment that delayed the game or for

WILLS DEFEATS CAMPBELL
IN NEW ALBERT
BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 27. Over 1500 fans jammed the New Albert Auditorium Friday night and saw Young Harry Wills, 137 pounds, and Della Campbell, 141, put up the greatest scrap witnessed here in many years. Young Wills in the long run won the victory, but Campbell had the namesake of the Brown Panther on the verge of a knockout in the third round.
It was all the police could do to keep the fans out of the ring, so great was the excitement as the battlers at times stood toe to toe and hammered away for all they were worth.
In the semi-final Hayes Scott, brother of Young Wills, made Tony Mello take to his bicycle in the early sessions and pedal away for all he was worth for the entire fight.
In the other semi-windup Kid Dennis Moody defeated Calvin Lamson in four rounds. In the preliminaries Battling Chink won a technical kayo over Eddie Washington, Young Siki defeated Battling Wong, the Chinese boy, and Gerald Reeder defeated Kid Eat 'Em Up.

TALLADEGA, 20-0
TALLADEGA, Miss.—In one of the fiercest battles witnessed by the Talladegans this season, the Crimson Tornado fought to a noble and well earned victory over the strong aggregation from Knoxville College by a score of 20-0, here last Saturday. During the first half both teams fought valiantly in see-saw fashion, Talladega finally getting the edge and putting the ball over for the first touchdown. The last half saw the Talladega team in their true form. They presented the spectators with thrills. They completely baffled their opponents with their varied running and air attack. The excellent punting of Cooper and Askew, and the wonderful generalship the former displayed were the outstanding features of the game. It will be interesting to note that Talladega's goal has not been crossed this year. The "Crimson Tornado" is sweeping on. Atlanta University next.
WILBERFORCE TOO MUCH
FOR FOR KENTUCKY
STATE COLLEGE
By "Seek" Simms
WILBERFORCE, O., Oct. 22.—
With Harding, Snell, Ward, Green
Tynes, Mendenhall and company
ripping the Kentucky defense at
will with long end runs, forward
passes, off tackle slices and jamming
through center for gains
that netted from seven up to 43
yards. Kentucky State College
of Frankfort, is now nursing an
overwhelming defeat of a 44 to 0
score.
That is what a patched up Wilberforce team did. Buchanon, regular center, was in Charleston watching the Howard-Institute game. Gomez, flashy quarterback, has been on the injured list from scrimmage following the week of the Lincoln game. He will be in good shape for the Howard game. Hudson, the meteor fullback, is nursing a lanced arm. Bull Moore, fullback, has a sprained ankle. Eaton, halfback is in the hospital, and Richey is in Chicago. The team was a make-up. Tackles playing in the backfield, halfbacks played at end. The first; quarter was tough. All Wilberforce could do was to garner 3 points when Green, quarterback, dropped back to the 25-yard line and made a dropkick. The third quarter saw the big green team right and ready. Twenty seven points were gained in this period.
In the fourth quarter Tynes was shifted from tackle to the backfield and he made well at his line plunging. He carried the ball on six occasions and made two first downs. On another occasion he slipped through center for eleven yards and made a touchdown. Points by dropick — Green. Touchdowns — Harding, 2; Ward, 2; Mendenhall, Tynes.

the Florida A. and M. College in
the Alumni Bowl here today. For
the first time this season a visiting
team crossed the Tigers' goal
before the cadets had scored a single point.
The visitors returned the ball on
the Tigers' 25-yard line early in
the game. Two short plunges and
a beautifully executed pass
resulted in the Florida score. A
touchdown in the latter part of
the same period, two in each of
the second and third quarters,
however, put the game on ice for
the Tuskegee eams.
When the final whistle blew, the Tigers turned their thoughts northward — to Philadelphia and to hear the Lincoln Lions roar.

FISK HOLDS ATLANTA TO A
0-0 SCORE
By J. C. Chunn
ATLANTA, Ga.—In a bitter battle, staged on the Atlanta University athletic field, before approximately 1500 fans, Fisk of Nashville, Tenn., held the strong Atlanta University eleven to a 0-0 score. The Fisk Bull Dogs tried everything in football to bring honor to their school, with the Crimson Hurricane, of Atlanta playing a defensive game of just enough football to keep the Bull Dogs from scoring. This was attributed to the weather, which was excessively hot for this time of the year.
During the hectic struggle, Fisk made eight first downs and completed three out of eight passes, one netting twenty yards. The Hurricane made seven first downs and completed four of the flood of passes thrown.
Fisk missed a good chance to score in the fourth quarter when they carried the ball to Atlanta University's 10-yard line, when on third down, Gee passed to Brooks, who let the ball slip through his hands when behind the goal line. Atlanta University took the ball continuously to Fisk's 20-yard line but each time missed their chance to score by a succession of bad passes.
In the second and third quarters, both teams staged a punting duel. Yost and Whedbee being about evenly matched.
Much credit should be given the Bull Dogs for coming from their lowly position, at the bottom of the line, for the past six years, and placing themselves in the list of encoference contenders.

HARRIS TAKES SOUTHERN AMATEUR GOLF TITLE
Dr. A. R. Harris, a new comer to the District from Pittsburgh, won the Southern Amateur Golf Championship over the National Capitol Country Club links, defeating Beltran Barker, last year's National Amateur Champion in the final round of the event 4 and 3, on last Sunday.
On the previous day, Harris met Wytt Green, a former star in the golfing world, defeating him 1 up on 18. This was the stiffest match of the tournament, as Green was shooting golf par excellence, Harris being compelled to shoot a 69 to beat him.
The result of the two flights are as follows: First flight-Harris defeated Green 1 up on 18 holes. Barker defeated Carter 4 and 3. Barker defeated Jack Shippen (National Amateur Champion) 3 and 2. Harris defeated Barker 4 and 3.
Second flight-Wilkes defeated Daly 2 and 1. Dr. Adams defeated Fortune 3 and 2. Wilkes defeated Adams 1 up on eighteen.
On Sunday evening, following the finals of the Southern Amateur Golf Tournament, Dr. Dumas presented a silver trophy to Dr. A. R. Harris, golf amateur champion of the South.
The dinner in honor of the day was attended by the National Golf Champion Jack Shippen and wife, Mrs. Mattie Stewart Shippen; last year's National Champion, Beltran Barker; the club professional, John Shippen; Mrs. Helen W. Harris, the wife of this year's Southern champion and other golf stars and enthusiasms, including Wyatt Green, Thomas Edwards and Dr. George Adams.
Much credit is due Dr. Harris who outscored the former National Champion who in turn defeated this year's National Champion. What may we not expect from him in the future?

It was then tentatively agreed, it is reported, to reinstate all persons charged with violating the maternity leave rule, and to change the rule to make it obligatory upon a teacher to take maternity leave after a period of four and one half months instead of three, as is now the rule.

Carl P. McConnell, M.D., D.O., Chicago, Ill., said: "The Science and Art of Osteopathy has been perfected in many of its details, based on actual experience and splendid clinical results."
Percy N. Woodall, M.D., D.O., Birmingham, Ala., said: "I am thoroughly convinced that Osteopathy is a complete and independent system of healing the human body by Scientific Manipulation. It successfully treats all curable acute and chronic diseases."
W. Kelman McDonald, M.D., D.O., Edinburg, Scotland, Great Britain, said; "Indeed, I firmly believe that Osteopathy is a great truth, a great discovery, and that it supplies the most satisfactory method of handling the sick, and that it is the most sane and Natural system of healing imaginable."

GIRL LOSES HER APPEAL IN OIL LAND CASE
The Supreme Court of the United States on Monday dismissed the case of Thomas H. Dent, administrator of the estate of Elmira Holland, against William S. Swilley, involving the ownership of valuable oil lands.
Attorneys Houston and Houston sought a review by the Supreme Court of a final decision of the Court of Civil Appeals of Texas holding that the land was a part of the estate of George Reuben, an ex-slave who died in 1892, and that the county court of Liberty county, Texas, had the right to order its sale for the payment of his debts.
Elmira McJennings Holland, a granddaughter of George Reuben by a slave marriage, claimed the land by a grant of the State of Texas to the heirs of George Reuben on January 22, 1894. The land was ordered sold March 7, 1894.
Sold to White Man
William S. Swilley (white) purchased the land at an administration sale from the estate of George Reuben, who had settled upon the land to establish a hometead in 1880. Reuben failed to comply with the conditions imposed by the law of the State of Texas.
After the death of Reuben the state granted the land to his heirs. The District Court of Liberty County ruled, however that the land was a part of the estate of George Reuben. This decision was upheld by the Court of Civil Appeals of Texas. The case was then brought to the Supreme Court on a writ of error. One hundred forty three acres of land, rich in oil, gas and minerals, are involved.

clared that the Court of Civil Appeals of Texas had departed from the uniform course of decisions of the State of Texas ever since there has been a State of Texas to discriminate against Elmira Holland solely because she is a Negro. Citing a long list of cases, he said: "In these cases where patents had issued to white persons as the heirs of white persons without any enforcible obligation on the State to the white ancestory, the grant of the patent had been held to be a direct donation to the heirs, free and clear of all claims of the ancestor's estate, and the sale under administration proceedings on the estate of the ancestor had been held to be void.
"In the case at bar where the patent issued to a black person as the heir of a black person without any enforceable obligation on the State to the black ancestor, the grant of the patent was held not to be a donation free and clear of all claims of the ancestor's estate, but to form part of the ancestor's estate, and the administration sale was held to be valid."
Mr. Houston contended that this decision of the Court of Civil Appeals of Texas deprived Elmira Holland of her property without due process of law and denied her the equal protection of the laws guaranteed her by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The Supreme Court took the view that no Federal question was raised by the action of the Court of Civil Appeals.

DECISION GIVEN IN DIVORCE CASE OF SYLV'STER SMITH
Justice A. A. Hoehling of the District Supreme Court decided Wednesday, that Mrs. Naomi Dale Smith, of 2607 Nichols avenue, southeast, is entitled to maintenance from Dr. Slyvester B. Smith, former national tennis champion, whom she sued for a limited divorce. The case was heard in the District Supreme Court last Thursday. Justice Hoehling reserved his decision. The marital difficulties of the Smiths as it was told on the witness stand by the two principals, revolved around the mother-in-law of Mrs. Smith, with whom the couple lived shortly after they were married.
Mrs. Smith charged her husband with cruel treatment and not properly supporting her. Dr. Smith denied her charges. He made the counter charges that his wife treated his mother, Mrs. Capitol Smith, disrespectfully and deserted him. According to Mrs. Naomi Smith, their marital troubles began shortly after their marriage when his mother came to live with them at No. 216 S street, northwest, which he was purchasing.
Mother was Ill
Dr. Smith testified that before their marriage his wife was informed that his mother was ill and was told it might be necessary for her to make her home with them, to which his wife had agreed. His mother purchased No. 2124 Flagler place northwest and her husband insisted upon selling their home and moving into the house with his mother, Mrs. Naomi Smith declared. There were frequent quarrels concerning this, she stated, and in an effort to maintain peace and happiness she was coerced into signing a deed to the S street property and moving into the home of her mother-in-law. There Dr. Smith took a separate room and she was completely ignored, Mrs. Naomi Smith testified. There were more quarrels and on July 5, 1925, she returned to the home of her parents.
When she informed her husband in December, 1925, that she was about to become a mother, he became very angry, Mrs. Smith said, and wanted her to take medicines and have an illegal operation performed. Upon her refusal, she declared, his anger increased. Dr. Smith denied this charge on the witness stand.
Conceals Disposition
Dr. Smith testified that he had known his wife five or six years prior to their marriage, but that during their courtship she had concealed her true disposition from him.
His wife treated his mother disrespectfully, he stated. She left all the house work to be done by his mother, he said. She tormented him until he gave up playing a violin with an orchestra at night to earn money for their support, he declared.
ported his wife in accord with the Dr. Smith said that he had sup-amount of money he was making. At the time he was just beginning the practice of dentistry and had his office expenses to meet and his office equipment to pay for. His wife deserted him at the time he needed her most, he said.
Moves to Pennsylvania
The publicity resulting from the filing of the suit by his wife caused him to lose his practice and he had to leave the District of Columbia. Dr. Smith testified. He is now practicing in Amber, Pennsylvania. The suit was filed August 20, 1925. On September 22, 1925, the court allowed Mrs. Smith $15 a week alimony. On September 7, 1926, she obtained a judgment in the District Supreme Court for

Dr. Sylvester B. Smith and Miss Naomi Dale were married at the home of her father, Marcus Dale, a mail carrier, on August 9, 1924, by Dr. Charles H. Wesley of Howard University. At the time, Sylvester Smith was a student in the Howard University dental school. "Syl" Smith won the national singles tennis championship in 1919.

"I had heard so much of Cardui, I sent for a bottle and took it regularly. I felt stronger and better, and wondered why I hadn't tried it before. I took 6 bottles at that time, and there was such a big change in my condition. I felt so much better, and did not have the weakness, and am now well."
