KY. ADMITS MOB VIOLENCE BEFORE SUPREME COURT
The Kentucky record breaking case, involving the lives of Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming, who were given one of the quickest and shortest trials on records, is ready for argument in the Supreme Court of the United States. Both sides have filed their briefs. The two men are seeking a review of their conviction on a charge of criminal assault. Their execution was stayed last summer by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who took the view that the Supreme Court should have an opportunity to decide whether the case should be reviewed. The brief filed by Frank Daugherty, attorney general of Kentucky, opposes a review of the conviction. The State declares that the presence of troops was of itself a complete guarantee against mob proceedings by which the man were given a trial by due process of law and that the habeas corpus proceedings by which the man sought to have their conviction in the state court set aside by the United States district court for the western district of Kentucky could not be used to obtain a review in the Supreme Court.

HEALTH WEEK PROGRAM AND PLANS OUTLIN'D
HEALTH WEEK PROGRAM AND PLANS OUTLIN'D
Plans for the fourteenth annual Negro Health Week were formulated here Tuesday in a conference in the office of Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming of the United States Public Health Service. Dr. C. C. Pierce, assistant Surgeon General, presided.
The Negro Health Week movement, which was inaugurated by the late Booker T. Washington, has been conducted as a feature of the program of the National Negro Business League, and each year trophy cups are awarded to the cities which do the most effective clean up work and are presented during the annual session of the league. The cups for 1927 went to Cincinnati, Louisville and Atlanta.
Dr. Robert R. Moton sounded the keynote of the conference by reviewing the progress in Negro health work and outlining an extension of the health work for next year.
Problems of birth registration and public health teaching were freely and helpfully discussed. The week of April 1 to 8 inclusive was selected for the 1928 clean up campaign.

DIVORCE GRANTED ON CHARGE OF INFIDELITY
DIVORCE GRANTED ON CHARGE OF INFIDELITY
An interlocutory decree was granted Helen H. Hawkins, of 1143 Fifth street, northwest, by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in Equity Court last Tuesday.
Mrs. Hawkins fitted suit for divorce against her husband, Francis J. Hawkins, formerly of 1724 T street, northwest, now alleged to be out of town, on the grounds of desertion, non-support and gross indiscretions with one Madeline Walker, who was named as co-respondent. Mrs. Hawkins asked absolute divorce and maintenance.
Married October 14, 1922, at Towson, Md., the bill states, the couple lived together for about two years and a half. On August 15, 1925, the plaintiff avers, her husband wilfully deserted her. Having just recovered from an operation she was left without funds, Mrs. Hawkins declares.
He then, according to Mrs. Hawkins' allegations, began heaping attentions upon Madeline Walker, and on March 21, 1926, is said to have been found in the co-respondent's apartment, at 1724 T street, northwest.
Attorney Joseph P. Neal, who was hired by the defendants to appear for them has been unable, ever since his legal aid was sought, to reach them. Though he has made numerous appointments with them, he has never had the opportunity of getting their version that he might file an answer.
Hawkins, who was working at 1127 Fourteenth street, northwest, at the time of the filing of the suit, is no longer employed there, having quit the job soon after he became acquainted with his wife's action. Efforts to communicate with him, made by the Tribune reporter, have all been in vain.
SAYS ST. PAUL'S PRIEST VOICED PERSONAL VIEW
By Francis Spriggs
The writer wishes to say to the critics that the affair of St. Paul Church where the priest told Negro worshippers to attend their own churches is only the opinion of the pastor of that particular church and not the ruling of the Catholic church.
No priest can deny the admission of anyone to services in a Catholic church, regardless of race, creed or color. The clored people will continue to go to St. Paul's Church or any other Catholic church in the city of Washington, whenever it suits their convenience.
CAMPBELL JOHNSON TO SPEAK AT "Y" SUNDAY
Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.M.C.A. will be the principal speaker at the Men's Meeting of the Y.M.C.A., Sunday at 4 p.m. Captain Johnson, who is an observing delegate to the National Commission on Crime which is now in session in the District, has chosen as his subject, "The Y.M.C.A. and Crime."
EDUCATIONAL COURSES AT "Y" OPEN
Courses in practical accountancy and in human behavior opened this week at the Y.M.C.A. The course in practical accountancy is being taught by John Cromwell, C.P.A., and the course in human behavior is to be taught by Robert Robin-
NEGRO VOTERS MAY BOLT REPUBLICAN TICKET IN ARLINGTON COUNTY, VA.
The colored voters of Arlington County, Virginia, are in open revolt against the Republican organization of the county. This disruption in the Republican ranks will possibly cause the defeat of the entire ticket next Tuesday. At a meeting of the Citizens Vigilance Committee Wednesday at Dade's Roadhouse, plans were made to corral the Negro vote, which is estimated to be nearly 800 and is the balance of power, for the entire Democratic slate. The trouble came about because the county Republican organization ignored the Negroes in making up the ticket. After the ticket had been agreed on, an effort was then made to get the blanket endorsement of the Negro voters for it. Another reason the Negro voters are "fighting mad" is the boast of Attorney Crandall H. Mackey that he carried the Negroes' vote in his pocket. Attorney Mackey, it was brought out at the committee meeting, is trying to make political capital out of the attempted presentation by the Ku Klux Klan of a United States flag and a Bible to a colored school at Halls Hill. Va. the colored citizens of the county appear to be very bitter against Mr. Mackey.
Outside Politicians
The committee also brought out the fact that Mr. Mackey has threatened to import from Washington, alleged Negro leaders, who would storm the county for the Mackey indorsed candidates. The voters are aroused and a record vote is expected. The Democratic candidates are making an open bid for the Negroes' votes. The following letter was received this week from the committee of citizens of Arlington County:
"To the Editor of the Washington Tribune:
In your issue of the 14th., ultimo., considerable space was devoted to the matter of the offer of the K. K. K. of Arlington County, Virginia, to present to the John M. Langston Public School, colored, the Holy Bible and our nation's flag; and of the rejection of this offer by the Parents Teachers League of that school.
This incident was seized upon by a designing white politician of Arlington County, Virginia, as a means of influencing the colored vote in the election to be held the 8th inst. Having this object in view this individual has caused to be circulated the propaganda (Continued on page 8)

Y.M.C.A. CAMPAIGN IN FULL SWING
Under the leadership of Colonel West A. Hamilton the financial campaign of the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.M.C.A. got under way Monday night and reports from the various teams and workers have been encouraging. Nearly two hundred workers are in the field this week seeking to secure for th "Y" $3500 necessary to complete its budget.
Large Contributions Made
Large Contributions Made
So far it has been noticeable, according to Colonel Hamilton and Captain Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary to the branch that individual contributions this year are larger than of last year. This is due, Captain Johnson thinks, to the work which the "Y" did last year for the men and boys of the city. It is pointed out that the branch is now 84 per cent self-porting.
SPORTS-WRITERS ASS'N IS FORMED AT PHILADELPHIA
At a dinner in honor of sports-writers of the weekly newspapers held at the New Roadside Hotel last Saturday night, a sports-writer association was organized. Growing out of an attempt sometime ago on the part of the Tribune sports-writer, the Eastern Sports Writers Association was formed. The association, it is believed will do much toward plating Negro newspapers in a much higher regard.
The Tribune sports-editor in his first article advocating such a move pointed out that an organization of this kind can provide for the improved covering of athletic events, make for better sports pages, secure closer co-operation between promoters and newspapers and do away with colorful releases.
Mixed sporting events where Negroes participate can be handled with greater case and accuracy. Opportunities for demanding better press accommodations and for concentrated attack on injustices are among the numerous other benefits to be derived.
The original Eastern Sports Writers Association is composed of Romeo L. Dougherty, Amsterdam News, president; W. Rollo Wilson, Pittsburgh Courier, vice-president; Samuel H. Lacy, Washington Tribune, secretary-treasurer; John M Howe, Philadelphia Tribune; William E. Clark, New York Age; Kandy Dixon, Philadelphia Tribune, and Joseph Rainey, Philadelphia Public Journal.
An executive committee composed of three members includes William E. Clark, Joe Rainey, and John M. Howe.

GARY SCHOOL CASE
SUPREME COURT TO GET
GARY SCHOOL CASE
The case of the demonstration of white school children alleged to have been inspired by their parents in Gary, Ind., in Emerson High School of that city, and the school board's ready and eager acceptance of the scholars "demands" will go before the United States Supreme Court as a test case, along with several other particularly flagrant cases of jim crow legislation.
The legal point at issue is the constitutional right of states to discriminate against a part of their citizens in spite of the various amendments to the federal constitution that followed the Emancipation Proclamation.
Negro citizens of Gary, as well as several white citizens declare that the case will be carried through. Officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are taking an active part in the case.
N. A. A. C. P. MEMBERS TO GET SEGREGATION REPORT
Segregation and discrimination in the federal departments will be featured at the meeting of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Wednesday, November 9, at the Y. W. C. A. The secretary of the branch says some interesting developments in the land office of the Interior Department will be brought to the attention of the association at this meeting.

JUDGE REFUSES DIVORCE; LACKS JURISDICTION
JUDGE REFUSES DIVORCE; LACKS JURISDICTION
Divorce on the grounds of desertion was refused Raphael Lopez of this city at Nauck, Va., and the case dismissed by Judge Brent at Arlington Court House, Virginia, last Saturday when the plaintiff upon his own testimony revealed that he had been a resident of Virginia for less than a year. Mrs. Edith Lopez was the defendant. The two, the story goes, entered into a separation agreement on September 25, 1925, in which agreement he agreed to give his wife $35 a month for the support of their two children. On September 26, 1925, Mr. Lopez left Washington and registered as a resident of Nauck, Va.
On April 29, 1926, less than one year after his registering as a voter, Mr. Lopez filed his suit for divorce on the grounds of desertion. The date for the hearing was set for October 29.
An order signed by Judge Brent, immediately after the dismissal of the case, provides that all divorce cases filed in the future will be presented to a commissioner for investigation before being referred to the court. By this means the rule governing the necessity for one year's residential presence in Virginia before the filing of a bill will be strictly adhered to.
Mr. Lopez was represented by former Judge Gloth, now Commonwealth Attorney for Arlington County. Attorneys Thomas M. Watson and Joseph P. Neal appeared for the defendant.

ington girl, dies in Harlem.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3.—The body of Florence Mills, in a hammered bronze coffin, a replica of the one in which Rudolph Valentino was buried, lies in state in the undertaking parlor of H. Adolph Howell, 2332 Seventh avenue. The cost of the coffin is said to be $10,000.
At 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, Harlem began viewing the body of Miss Mills. All through the afternoon a never-interrupted line of men, women and children—rich Harlem social leaders, successful business men and others representing nearly every station in life—filed past the coffin and looked down at the still little figure which in life had been so dynamic, energetic and gray. They paid their wordless tribute and went their way.
Internationally Famous
Miss Mills, whose personality and genius gained her international fame as a comedienne, died Tuesday at the Hospital for Joint Diseases following an appendicitis operation performed on October 27 by Dr. Philip M. Grausman of 130 West Thirty-eighth street. The death of Miss Mills came after a second operation and after her husband, U. S. Thompson, also an actor, had given blood in a transfusion. Her death cut short a stage career at its peak. With her struts and blues she had captivated the theatre-goers of two continents.
Born in Washington
Miss Mills was born in Washington, D. C., January 15, 1895. She began her stage career at the age of 6. She came to Harlem in 1903. Although Broadway came to know her only five years ago, Harlem had acclaimed her as a blues singer long before her name went into electric lights.
Miss Mills made her professional debut in 1910 as a small-time (Continued on page 8)

HUSBAND CITED TO SHOW CAUSE FOR REFUSAL
The legal battle of Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, international coloratura soprano, and Roy Wilfred Tibbs, professor of piano and organ at Howard University, has turned from a fight for maintenance to a fight for possession of personal property.
Mrs. Tibbs claims that her husband has certain personal property of hers which he has refused to turn over to her. They include wedding presents, gifts made by him to her and articles purchased jointly by them.
The wedding presents in the list of articles are a "mangorgany table," a China dish, a silver vase and one-half dozen silver spoons.
The gifts are a vocation, a day bed, four interior tapes which were a Christmas present from him to her in 1022, two oil paintings and a nymph picture, a oil frieze in three pieces, one bed-room suite of eight pieces, and one hand-carved chair.
The articles purchased together are a console table and mirror and an urn which Mrs. Tibbs says is at Howard University.
An Urn at Howard
Other articles in the list include two down pillows, three hand embroidered linen scarfs, a bed spread, a bed comfort, a gold flower basket, a fancy trash basket, two candle sticks and a glass vase. Upon a petition from Mrs. Tibbs, Justice Hitz has cited Prof. Tibbs to show cause why he should not be required to turn over these articles to his wife.
Mrs. Tibbs is now receiving $100 a month for her maintenance from her husband.
Mrs. Tibbs is living with her mother and son at No. 1910 Vermont avenue, northwest. Prof. Tibbs is living at 401 T street, northwest. Mrs. Tibbs charges her husband with desertion.
Attorney Henry F. Woodard is representing Mrs. Tibbs. Attorney George E. C. Hayes is representing Prof. Tibbs.
Mrs. Tibbs is internationally known as Mme. Evanti.
MRS. LYLES FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE
MRS. LYLES FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Through Attorney Sylvester McLaurin, Mrs. Mattie Lyles filed suit in the District Supreme Court last Thursday for an absolute divorce from Thomas Lyles. She names Mabel Carter as the correspondent. In her bill of complaint, she says that after two weeks of married life her husband deserted her for a period of three weeks. He resumed marital relations but deserted her again in two or three weeks, she states. These periodic desertions, she alleges, were caused by Sadie Turner and continue through the first year of their married life.
Her husband deserted her permanently on March 1, 1920, she declares, and lived with Mabel Carter until the year 1926. As a result of this illicit relationship, she charged two children were born.
The couple were married by the Rev. J. Milton Waldron on April 1, 1919. They have no children.

WEEKLY SUNDAY
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1927
LESSON STUDY arranged by
John R. Parker, Assistant Super-
intendent of Third Baptist Sun-
day School.
Subject: Amos pleals for justice.
Study: Amos, Chapters 5, 7.
GOLDEN TEXT: "Let justice
roll down as water, and righteous-
ness as a mighty stream." Amos
5:24.
When this great prophet (Amos)
was called to do the work of the
Master, he stated he was not a
prophet, nor was he a prophet's
son, but he was just an ordinary
herdsman. Nevertheless he obeyed
and accepted the call like a good
soldier, like Peter, James and John
did when they were called by Jesus
Christ to give up their fishing nets
and follow Him so that he would
make them fishers of men.
Although in his heart he thought that he was not prepared to do this great work, nevertheless he did as he was commanded and by so doing he became one of the greatest prophets that we have ever had.
In the present day men not only do unjustly in order to take advantage of other men, but when the multitudes are clamoring against preachers and others who strive to live upright, and are constantly ridiculing them, we should do all in our power to encourage these good people to continue their work. Every day we come in contact with heroic Christian men and women who evidently have heard the call of God to hate evil and seek good and righteousness. These people deserve all of the support and prayers that we can give them. These are no doubt the people that God is sparing' this wicked world for.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF ZION
BAPTIST CHURCH
Deanwood, D.C.
The program of the Zion Baptist
Church, Deanwood, D.C., has been
a large and intensive-one for the
last three years. This church has
become one of the most popular
places of worship in the far east
section of the National Capital and
is continuously growing spiritually
as well as numerically.
Under the leadership of its present minister, Rev. Leon S. Wormley, a graduate of the Howard University School of Religion, in the class of 1924 it has forged its way to the front ranks of Baptist churches. Dr. Wormley was called to the pastorate of this church on January 6, 1925, six months after leaving the Seminary, and in less than three years has been able to help this church to purchase and pay for a new church site costing in the neighborhood of $1500. This property was sought from one of the officers of the church, Deacon Holcomb, and is located not far from the present church on Sheriff Road. Aside from renovating the interior of the church with fresh paint, new electric fixtures, and 're carpeting the main auditorium, the church has a "Building Fund" account in the Prudential Bank to the amount of $250. A new steam-heating plant was installed in the church last fall at a cost of $600, $500 has been paid on the plant during the year. The interior work cost the church approximately $170.
Many of the outstanding pulpit minds, clergymen from various denominations, including some of our foremost public speakers, of both races have visited this church during the last three years and rendered an inestimable service to the church and to the community. The church is located at 43rd and Sheriff road, northeast.
ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH
The Rev. J. A. Dames, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, 8th street, between D. and E streets, southwest, is preaching the third sermon of a series on the Book of Job on Sunday morning. The Holy Communion will follow.
FIRST BAPSTIST CHURCH,
WARRENTON, VA.
Rev. Joseph Curnenham, of Washington, filled the pulp of the First Baptist Church, Warrenton, Va., last Sunday, in the absence of the pastor; Rev. Charles P. Harris, who preached to the Ministers' and Deacons' Union which met at Cross Roads. Next Sunday is rally day at First Baptist Church. The pastor will preach in the morning and Rev. Luke G. Reynolds, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Baltimore, will preach the rally sermon in the evening. "Over the top" is the rally slogan.
THE MT. AIRY BAPTIST
CHURCH
The pastor preached Sunday morning from the subject, "Move the Weeds." His discourse was timely and contained three points, namely: move the weeds of selfishness, the weeds of temper, and the weeds of good times, from the Christian's life and the churches and people would be so much better off than they are now.
At the close of the sermon, many persons came forward and united themselves with the church. Tres male chorus rendered music.
The B. Y. P. U. was well attended at six p.m. and a good program was presented. Mrs. Fair is working wonders with a Union which was once so dead.
At the night service the pastor spoke from the subject, "The good things of life." The entire collection for the day was four hundred and six dollars and ninety-one cents.
In the contest Monday night, the Pure beat the White by one hundred one dollars and a few cents. The total collection for the month of October was $3670.93.

THE SECRET OF CHRISTIANITY By Rev. W. A. Taylor "Christ Liveth in Me."—Gal. 2:20 Religion, in my mnd, is the greatest factor in human life It is that which links man to a higher being. It is difficult, in fact, almost impossible to properly define religion—that is, to give a definition to which exceptions cannot be taken. There have been many definitions of religion, all of which have met serious objections from some quarter. Dr. Strong, in his "Outlines of Systematic Theology," says, "Religion, in its essential idea, is a life in God, a life lived in recognition of God, in communion with God, and under control of the indwelling Spirit of God."
Religion embraces the entire personality. There is no part of one's being which his religion does not touch; no part which is not to some degree, and in some way, affected by it. Religion is not confined to any one phase of human life. The sphere of human life is its territory. It touches every interest of man. It is the outreach of the combined powers of the soul, the intellect, the feelings, and the will. It is the whole personality expressing itself in our realm of life.
Life is not lived in water-tight compartments. Life is a unity. There is a oneness to all beings. Paul, perhaps, had this in mind when he indicated the interdependence of life in those remarkable words, "No man liveth to himself alone." No life can be lived independently of all other life. Every life has its origin in some other life. Life on earth had its origin in life in God. All life had its origin in Him, who is the source of life. All life is sustained by Him, for in Him, we live and move and have our being. Religion is the whole mental and spiritual life expressed in the highest of all spheres.
Now there are many religions in the world. Man's religious nature is expressed in many forms. But the highest type of religion is Christianity. We should not be so narrow and selfish as not to admit that there may be found some good in all religions. But we do hold that Christianity, the religion of the blessed Christ is the best expression of the higher life man has yet discovered; or that has been revealed to man. Real Christianity is not merely a matter of creed, or ritual, of symbolism. It is the expression of noble living as exemplified by its founder while He walked upon earth and lived among men.
Christianity should express itself in living, lighting, and loving the world as Christ set the example when He was in the world. This is implied in those immortal expressions made to His disciples and passed on to us: "Ye are the light of the world; ye are the salt of the earth." As representing Christ it is the challenge to Christianity to be this dark world's light, and as salt to save and preserve human society from decay. The light of Christianity was much needed in the ancient world. For ages, the people sat in darkness, waiting for the coming of this light of which the prophet, Isaiah, had spoken. With prophetic assurance, said he, "The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light." The hymn writer breaks into song:
"The race that long in darkness rinsed . . .
Has seen a glorious light." Christianity is still needed in the vice of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, northwest, Sunday. At 7:45 p.m. Rev. J. O. Knot, a minister of the M. E. Church of Washington will present a motion picture sermon on the subject, "The Modern Day Eve." The recent rally contributions total $1670.81 to date.
Rev. A. F. Elmes of the People's Congregational Church, M street between Sixth and Seventh streets, will speak on the second part of the series—"The Men who Follow Jesus," at the morning service, Sunday. November 6.
At the church Friday evening, November 11, at 8 o'clock, Rev. L. B. Sheafe will speak on "Man and His Capital," in connection with the wonderful electrical flower pageant which will be given by Team Number 8, of which Mrs. M. Harris is president.
ARMISTICE SERVICES AT LINCOLN CONGREATIONAL TEMPLE
At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning there will be held Armistice services. Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "Our National Army." There will be special music by the choir. The Senior Christian Endeavor Socley will present a special program at 6:45 p.m. The subject for discussion will be, "What Should be the Christian's Attitude toward War?" There will be special musical numbers.

Rev. W. A. TAYLOR, pastor of Florida Avenue Baptist Church.
life of the world. There are still many dark corners which its glorious light has not reached. There are still heathen tribes groping in darkness waiting for light. Shall we not send to them teachers and preachers and Bibles to read? Shall we not make it possible for them to hear the story of the cross?
Say what you may. Criticize as you will. With all its human prejudices and short comings, it must be admitted by its most radical critics, that Christianity has wrought wonders in the world, and in the life of mankind. And yet, we must also admit that there is still much more to be done; that there s still a tremendous amount of darkness, selfishness, and sin in the world.
The most optimistic but conservative and thoughtful minds will agree that we need at present a great spiritual awakening to save our marvellously developed and materially progressive world from becoming a Godless world. A careful investigation into the religious thought of the day reveals the alarming fact that even the Christian world is shifting rapidly toward atheism. Large numbers of professed Christians believe very little in God. Atheism is creeping into our schools, into our homes, into our churches, and even into some of our pulps.
Some of our most learned preachers are beginning to doubt much of what they preach. There is an alarming indifference toward the church today. Many people who used to flock to the church are flocking elsewhere. Many are even questioning the necessity of the church. Many are asking whether or not the church is a worthwhile proposition, whether it is really essential to the life of the community. This growing spirit of materialism, atheism, and scionicism is the primary cause of indifference and the decline in church going.
There was never a time in the history of the church when the appeal of Isaiah to Israel was more appropriate than now. "Awake! Awake! Put on thy strength, O Jerusalem. Shake thyself from the dust. Loose thyself from the bams of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."
This appeal of Isaiah comes to the church today with added force. The challenge comes to the leaders of the church to awake from their slumbers and open their eyes upon the real dangers that undermine the church of today.
COMMUNITY DAY AT TABOR
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Community Day will be observed at Tabor Presbyterian Church, 2nd and R street's, northwest. Rev. R. A. Fairley will be speak at the 11 o'clock service on "What is a Successful Church?"

ENTERTAINMENTS
The Young Ladies' Institute affair at the parish of St. Cyprian's and the Sodality reception at the Holy Redeemer were well attended. The senior choir of the Good Shephard Church will close the special entertainment in the various parishes until Thanksgiving, when the Holy Name affair at the St. Vincent de Paul Parish will be held in the parish hall on I street, northwest.

When the grim spectre of death stalks the air; when comes the hushed tread of solemn feet, and the intermittent sobbing of the berecaved; when the pleasures and beauties of nature are dulled and the whole world in general takes on a dreary and hopeless aspect, it is then that the soft hand
of sympathy is laid upon the shoulder of the sorrowing widow, the orphaned child and the prostrate parents. This is the province of the undertaker. It is his stern duty to prepare the mortal remains of the departed for the lone one-way journey to that "bourne from which no traveler returneth." and to comfort the relatives and friends of the deceased. Among "the most efficient and noted undertakers in the Capital City may be mentioned the name of Mr. John T. Rhines, of John T. Rhines & Company, whose establishment is located at 901 Third street, southwest, who has been engaged as a funeral director for years and has during that time acquired a well-earned reputation for quality. of service and at a reasonable cost that is second to none.
He is an expert embalmer and a master of those little details, the neglect of which causes such untold suffering to the bereaved ones, and is a courteous, dignified appearing man whose presence as a funeral director lends dignity and solemnity to the most pathetic of occasions. He caters to all classes of people, arranging his price to suit the needs of his patron's pocketbooks. Indeed, it is proverbial in his neighborhood that many a person too poor to pay the charges involved has been furnished a Christian funeral by Mr. Rhines.
Mr. Rhines is well known in civic, social and fraternal life of the city and has many friends and acquaintances in all parts of the city.

Scripts
Just look over all the papers in the country and see how much time, labor, money and space has been spent in writing the story of the Lincoln-Tuskegee football game. How much easier it would have been had all the papers said, "Tuskegee played Lincoln, Saturday in Philadelphia. The score was 29-0."
This matter of winning football games is no longer an achievement for Tuskegee—it's a habit.
Perusing the lines of the great dailies, my humble optics fell on an item concerning a statement by the greatest of America's football mentors, an authority on the grid sport talked of in every nook and corner of every hamlet in the 48 states—and some.
Knute Rockne, in reply to a question put to him asking his opinion of Yale's crusade to do away with the salaried coach, said, "I am for it. The minute they stop charging admissions to college football games, I'll give my coaching services free."
Well now, folks, maybe Captain Biff Martin, Jack Coles, Tick Smith, Bobo Miller and the rest of the gang at Howard have been teaking to Knute. It looks much like they have their opinions too.
Say, looka here, that boy George Godfrey must be a scraping pieces of humanity. Dawggone last Monday night he whipped Sayers so baddly that the Commissioners ordered the latter's purse held up for not fighting—which reminds me. Billy Higgins once said in describing his hasty departure from a scene of fright "Why man I was running so fast, that I passed a jack rabbit running in the same direction. I was, but I caught up with and passed him so quickly that he looked like he was standing still."
I'm willing to wager my balloon tires, that there's nobody in the world whom George Godfrey would rather have in a squared circle than Tex Rickard. The big time "heavyweight elimination tournament", which Mr. Texas is staging for the purpose of bringing forth the most logical man to meet Gene Tunney next year, will be battled out among a bunch of big yokels like Paulo Uczudun, Phil Scott, Knute Hanson, Tom Heeny and, don't pinch to see if you're dreaming, Monte Munn. Paulo, the only one to have done a little something, beat up a somewhat matured gentleman feeble and with hands fit to bang nothing but typewriter keys. Harry Wills, the tamed Brown Panther was his victim. As for the others Phil Scott is less than nothing Monte Munn—ch for goodness sakes, let's have a party.
WILBUR COHEN ARRIVES IN BALTIMORE
BALITMORE, Md.-Wilbur Cohen, the New York featherweight, arrived in Baltimore Thursday for his eight-round encounter with Willie K. O. Smith at the New Albert Auditorium, Pennsylvania avenue, on Friday night. Cohen and Smith met at the State Athletic Commission in the Kernan Hotel. Cohen weighed 127 pounds and Smith tipped the scales at 139. A matter of two pounds is not worrying the New York boy. He is at his best around 126 and 127. The boys shook hands and wished each other well. There are three preliminaries on tap and a semi-final between Lefty Cooper and "Iron Man" Dillard. The main bout ought to start about 10 o'clock. Charlie Short will be the referee.
Colored fight fans are betting even money that Smith will win although there is plenty of Cohen money in sight. Both battlers are in the best of condition and there will be action aplenty when they square off.
STATE WINS FROM HAINES,
45 TO 0
ORANGEBURG, S. C.-The S. Carolina State College "Bulldogs" ran wild with Hainse here at the fair Friday by pulling up an elaborate score of 45-0.
Fumbles and penalties frequented the game. Many times the fumbles of one team were covered by the other, but on a whole the Carolina boys were more on the alert.
A long pass from Powell to Dawkins, a 65-yard run back of a punt received by Credell, a heavy line plunge by Cunningham aided greatly in piling up the score.
THE SPORT REVIEW
Tennessee Team, on several occasions reaches Howard's 5-yard mark, but loses ball on fumbles
By John Davis
The Fisk Bulldogs and Howard Bisons battled each other to a 13-13 tie on Saturday, October 29, in the Nashville (Tenn.) Baseball Park. The game was long drawn out due to much heckling with the officials on the part of the Howard team. Fisk had the better of the contest during the first half and Howard was the aggressor in the last half.
In the first quarter, Howard kicked off to Fisk and Robinson brought the ball to his 20-yard line. A forward pass failed and a fumble on the next play forced Fisk to kick. Yost kicked 60 yards. Payne of Howard was not far enough back and the ball slipped through his hands to be recovered by a Fisk player. Yost carried the ball across the Howard goal line and kicked goal only to have the referee declare that the touchdown did not count because of a technicality three
Given the ball on Howard's 8-yard line, Fisk tried two passes, but both failed and Howard had the ball on its 20-yard line. Payne rushed the ball off right end for 5 yards and Young gained 5 yards and a first down with a true buck. On the next play Kilgore tackled Young for a loss. Howard fumbled and Fisk recovered. Then a forward pass failed. Gee gained 5 yards on an end run and Pope carried the ball 4 yards through center. Yost kicked deep into Howard's territory.

Fisk barely missed completing a forward pass. Gee gained 8 yards. On the next play Gee failed to gain. Thornhill carried the ball 6 yards for a first down. Fisk was penalized for being off-side. A pass from Yost to Thornhill netted 12 yards. A pass from Thornhill to Yost netted another 12 yards and a first down. V. Smith intercepted Yost's pass in the next play and it was Howard's ball.
Young carried the ball 2 yards. Payne failed to gain. Young gained 7 yards through the line and V. Smith carried the ball for a first down. Payne gained a yard. Howard failed to gain on the next play through center and captain Biff Martin went in for Ellison. Howard received an off-side penalty. V. Smith ran the ball back 6 yards and Howard kicked.

BISON COACH EMPLOYS
NEW OFFENSIVE
Three tackles on one side of an unbalanced line! This is the newest offensive formation for football around these parts. Coach Louis L. Watson, of the Howard University Bisons is playing 3 tackles in his scrimmage line while his team is in possession of the ball. The third tackle carries the title of fullback, but seldom carries the ball. His duty for the most part, is acting as interferer. Last Saturday Vernon Smith filled that role. The Blue and White mentor is desirous of strengthening his running attack.
DUNBAR SCORES OVER
DOUGLASS DUCKS
BALTIMORE, Md. — At the Black Sox Park last Friday, Dunbar defeated Douglass High to the tune of 14-6.
In the first quarter Dunbar scored a touchdown and a safety while Douglass was held scoreless. In the second quarter Rhodes made a touchdown for Douglass, but failed to annex the point after the touchdown. Dunbar failed to score. The third quarter was scoreless. The second touchdown for Dunbar was made by Larry in the fourth quarter, raising Dunbar's score to 14.
Luz was the outstanding player, making the first touchdown and several pretty runs.
ROAMERS SCARED, BUT STAGE COMEBACK
Coach Deans' Washington Pirate football team has the distinction of being the only team in the past two seasons to cross the Roamer Athletic Club's goal line for a touchdown. The score came when the Alexandrians fumbled, while trying a trick play on their 20-yard line, and the Pirates' right end, recovered the ball and ran for the counter. The Washingtononians made the extra point.
The Roamers had already drawn first blood, but having missed the try-for-point, were one point behind the Pirates. The first half ended, 7-6, with the plucky Pirates leading.
The second half was all the Roamers. Four touchdowns were made and as many try-for points missed. The final score was 30 to 7 for the Alexandrians.

BEARS-STONEWALLS BATTLE TO NO DECISION BEFORE HUGE CROWD
STRONG 'FORCE MACHINE THREATENS HOWARD, NIXON PLAYING
Intensive training throughout the past week has been the order at Howard University since their return from Nashville, Tenn., and their battle with Fisk. The Bisons are to meet one of the best grid machines that has represented the Green and Gold of Wilberforce, at the Stadium Saturday. With the Wilberforce squad, and a star of the line is William (Red) Nixon, who was the tackling and defensive demon of the 1923 Arm-
FORMER Armstrong High star gridder, now playing first string guard for the invading Wilberforce machine.
strong High School Wonder eleven. Nixon, in his first year at the Ohio institution has become an idol of "Force" followers. He is, without doubt, one of the greatest football players ever developed in local high schools. Coach Graves has built the Wilberforce offense and defense around his old time star Wood Fang Ward, who offers a threat to any team against whom Wilberforce may be playing. The Howard fans may, therefore, expect a real battle when these two carefully coached eleven clash. Howard is rounding into forth and should give a good account of itself on its own grounds. Last year the score of the Howard-Wilberforce game, played at Wilberforce, was 7-0 in favor of Howard.
Ritchie, an outstanding Wilberforce player, is reported as being on the sick list, but will undoubtedly be in the Howard-Wilberforce clash.
To date, Wilberforce has played Lincoln University of Missouri, Bluefield, at Bluefield, and Simmons and Kentucky State, and has won all but the Bluefield game, which was a tie.
Wilberforce is employing the huddle system, and so two, more or less, evenly matched teams, employing the Bill Roper form of signals, will be seen in action.
The officials of the game will be A. K. Savoy, referee; Haley Douglas, umpine; Benjamin R. Washington, head linesman; and E. B. Henderson, field judge.

Undoubtedly one of the best games of sandlot football ever played on a local field was the battle between the Stonewalls and Teddy Bears at the Monument lt last Sunday afternoon. A crowd of approximately 5,000 persons, white and colored, large and small, male and female, saw the lighter combination from southeast hold the strong west end aggregation to a scoreless deadlock. Exhibiting a brand of football seddon seen in independent circles, the two clubs, probably the city's most logical contenders for the grid championship, thrilled their audience with frequent long runs bordering on the spectacular, but brought to sudden halts by flying tackles.
The two diminutive backfield aces, little Ralph Dorsey of the Bears and little Puds Brown of the Stonewalls were without doubt the best of the game's performers. Both excelled their running mates in carrying the ball. The next meeting between these clubs should attract many in addition to those who witnessed Sunday's battle. That many, the writer feels confident, will be there, so good was the game.
HAMPTON ELEVEN EASY
WINNERS OVER ST. PAUL
By James B. Clarke
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Oct.
21.—The St. Paul eleven, after holding up remarkably for nearly two full quarters, cracked under the strain of heavy line hitting when the Blue and White Seasiders rolled up four touchdowns for twenty-seven points on Armstrong Field. The Tigers realized what a job they had to defeat the Seasiders, so they played hard to keep the Blue and White team from scoring.
In their desire for a stiff defense the offense suffered miserably. Only once did the Tigers have a chance to score and that chance came when on the 30-yard line in Hampton's territory. There was a lack of punch in the line hitting and as a result, time after time, the Tiger runners were tackled back to the line of scrimmage.
Starting in the line-up, was a newcomer in the Seaside camp by the name of Edgar Guest, a native of Oklahoma. He was a great ground gainer and a perfect man on the defense. It was no unusual sight to see him rolling through the line for ten or fifteen yards; or, on the defense, tacking a man behind the line of serimimage.
The St. Paul team had a fair defense and a weak offense. However, there was Williamson, the Norfolk lad in the tackle; Connor, high guard; and Captain Williams, in tackle, that proved to be worthy men on the team.
For the Blue and White eleven there was Wildman Lee; Edgar Guest, the flashy halfback; Captain Bulldog Williams; DuBaker, the Minnesota back, that played the leading roles.

EBENEZER PLAYS ROAMERS
SUNDAY
Four-and-a-half and Missouri avenue, southwest, will be the scene of the Ebenezer-Roamer game, Sunday, November 6, at 1 p.m. This is the first time that these two teams have met. The church boys are credited with having the best drilled sandlot football team in this vicinity. But the Alexandrians opine, "Yes, maybe; but they're no trouble."
TUSKEGEE BEATS LINCOLN LIONS
29 - 0
SHIBE PARK, Phila., Pa.—Like any other ordinary football contest, a game was played here today. In-spite of how much might be said about its importance, or about the quality of the competitors, or about its class, or about the social end—it was just another football game between eleven, made up of men representing two educational institutions. The Tuskegee Tigers met the Lincoln Lions and—of course—Tuskegee won. The score was 29-0.
For the first 5 minutes it was a football game, but from then on the Alabamans had things pretty much their own way. Lincoln plays were smeared for losses. time and again. Hibbler was stopped, Motley was smothered, Jackson was eclipsed and Preston was held. Only LaMar was able to do any kind of ground gaining.
On the other hand the entire Tuskegee backfield peeled off yard after yard with the oval. They ran, passed and bucked the line with equal effect. None of the quartette could be pointed out as an outstanding star. Smith was fully capable of the task as helmman while Wooten and Bailey alternated in giving exhibitions of exceptional ball carrying. The fourth member of the backfield, Stevenson, perhaps the greatest back to be developed in colored colleges for all time, displayed his usual type of grid play. A triple threat man of no mean proportions, the Crimson and Gold performer passed, kicked and ran at will.
By the way, speaking from the kicking angle, the game was a "wow." Stevenson's toe was without a doubt, bettered by LaMar's, whose spiral punts carried 48 and 50 yards consistently. The southern lad, however, did thrill the spectators with a couple of beautiful place kick attempts. In the second period, he thrilled the audience when he stopped back to his own 35-yard line and by place kick booted the pigskin end over end between the uprights. Again in the fourth quarter he caused the large number of spectators to gasp when he missed a second attempt from a poor position on his 42-yard line by only a few scant yards.
V. N. I. I. WINS OVER SHAW
PETERSBURG, Va.—The strong Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute eleven easily outclassed the Shaw Bears here last Saturday. The score was 37-0.
The feature of the game was the scoring of the first touchdown by Sales. Entering the game as a substitute, Sales, on the first play following his insertion, carried the ball through the entire Shaw team 63 yards for a touchdown. From then on the Virginians could not be stopped.
BUFFALOES AND BEARS TO CLASH
The Buffalo A. C. will meet the Teddy Bears, Sunday, November 6, at the Monument Lot at 3 p.m. Buffalo players are asked to report at 10:30 a.m. for practice. The B. A. C.'s will meet the Roamers, November 20th at Ivy City.
PIRATES MEET STONEWALLS
Bitter because of its crushing defeat at the hands of the 1926 champion Roamer eleven last Sunday, the youthful Washington Pirate aggregation is working diligently in preparation for its meeting the Stonewall A. C. at Sixth and K streets, southeast, Sunday, November 6.
Coach Happy Deans is confident that his charges can by no means be held lightly. The Pirate mentor is the first tutor in 2 years to be able to boast of having his squad score on the Alexandrians.
"NOT FIRED" SAYS BRADEN
Contrary t an article which appeared in the issue of the Washington Tribune of October 21 Lester Braden informes the sports editor that he has not been discharged from his position as manager of the Howard University football team. "My services were never officially dispensed with," Braden declared. While it is true Coach Watson and I do not agree at all times, I was never notified by the Board of Athletic Control, of my dismissal."
A. & T. FURNISHES OPPOSITION IN HAMPTON'S HOME COMING GAME
Hampton will play its homecoming game on November 12 on Armstrong Field with the heavy fast-moving aggregation from A. and T. College, Greensboro, North Carolina. The Aggies have been going good this season and it has been pointed out by experts that the team is of championship caliber.
Everyone that saw the game last year in Greensboro will bear witness to the fact that the Aggies have a good team and it is more than likely that the game will be a thriller. Both teams are good and both are out for the championship of the C. I. A. A. Elaborate preparations have been made to entertain the alumni, ex-students, friends, and rooters of both institutions in their celebration of the home coming game.

romance and history—all dominated by the character and personality of Theodore Roosevelt. It is around great historical facts that this spectacular photoplay, the "Rough Riders" is vividly portrayed, all through which runs a gigantic love story.
On Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12, the screen attraction will be William Haines in "Spring Fever," supported by Joan Crawford and George K. Arthur. Haines plays the part of a young shipping clerk whose prowess attracts the attention of his boss who happens to be a golfer. He's taken to the country club as a millionaire, whereupon his trials and tribulations begin with comical intensity and it is then that he has more complications than Lindbergh has medals and every complication is a gale of laughter.
On Saturday only there will be shown as an added attraction the Universal serial "Blake of Scotland Yard," with Hayden Stevenson. There will also be three big talent shows at 5, 7:15 and 9:15. The stage attraction for the entire week will be Sunshine Sammy and his kid brother. These are two of Hal Roach's Our Gang comedy kids, who will make a personal appearance at the Lincoln Theatre for one week only.

The ever popular Whitman Sisters are playing the Howard Theatre this week, and with them is mighty good show. The sisters, I suppose everyone knows, are Alice, Essie, and "Bert." Each one is an artist, without a doubt, and they have surrounded themselves with people who know the stage rame.
The rest of the cast include Princess Wee-Wee, the little mite of a singer; Mento Cato, a prima-donna of exceptional ability, who has just recently returned from Australia; "Pops" Whitman, whose imitation of the tap steps of Bojangles Robinson is made all the more remarkable by the kid's age, which is about nine; Jazzlips, Jr., a mere baby, you might say, but who gives the audience as much entertainment with his dancing and capers as any grown-up; Annie Mae Fritz, Willie Too Sweet, the comedian; Dick Webb, Sterling, and Johnson. A real cast!
The chorus of the show is a revelation. Beautiful girls, beautiful forms, and grace and beauty in action.
This is the first time in a year that the Whitman sisters have appeared at the Howard, and it is certainly a refreshing treat. Here's hoping they come again soon.
At the Lincoln this week is a song and dance skit, sprinkled with comedy, being portrayed by McLaurin and Young. Though much better acts have been seen at the Lincoln, this team gets its act over in a nice manner, at least offering diversion from straight pictures. They are, we might say, entertaining.
"ROUGH RIDERS" AND SUN

"WHAT PRICE GLORY"
WORLD'S GREATEST MOTION
PICTURE AT THE
Every decade there appears on the theatrical horizon a screen presentation so powerful in its appeal, that it at once radiates its theme to the remotest corners of the nation. Such is "What Price Glory". As a stage play it was a sensation. Now comes along that most powerful and searching of all agencies that reflect and recreate, the motion picture, and the sensation takes on all the widespread and interest arousing energy of a furore. This is what has happened to Wm. Fox's screen presentation of "Whmat Price Glory" a de luxe attraction which comes to the Republic Theatre for a week's engagement commencing Sunday, November 6.
"What Price Glory" is pro-

claimed by all those in authority
as the greatest motion picture of
the year. War is its background.
Victor Mclaglen as Captain
Flagg, Edmund Lowe as Strgeart
Quirt, and Dolores Del Rio as the
fiery Charmaine are all that could
be desired in their roles of the
leading players. Life—its drama
and pathos, this is "What Price
Glory."
An innovation is introduced in
"What Price Glory." By a very
clever use of the camera to catch
the movement of the lips, the
strong language which was such
an important feature of the stage
play has been kept in its entirety
without resort to the printed
word. The result gives the audience
a new enjoyment—the satisfaction
of being able to make out
what the actors are saying at
the time they are saying it.

KENTUCKY ADMITS MOB
VIOLENCE BEFORE COURT
(Continued from page 1)
If the Supreme Court should re-
view the case and set aside the
conviction, mob violence will re-
| sult, the State of Kentucky. says
in its brief. “To the delays and
uncertainties in courts will be add-
ed another instance tending to en-
courage lawlessness and criminal
acts, and these, in turn, will pro-
voke the slumbering tendency to
mob violence,” it says in asking
the Supreme Court to weigh its
impotency against the lives of
these men.
Counsel for the two mien de-
clare that the question in the ease
is “whether these humble petition-
ers, being citizens of the United
States, are or are not entitled to
the equal protection of the four-
teenth amendment of the Consti-
tution of the United States.”
They insist that Bard and Flem-
ing “did not waive their ¢onstitu-
tional rights to an orderly trial
and equal protection of the laws,
and they have not had these rights,
and we respectfully assert that un-
der the evidence in this record,
should they be executed, they
would be executed in violation of
these rights guaranteed them by
our, Constitution.”
They argue that the men were
convicted under the forms of law
and not under a due process of
law, and not with equal .protec-
tion of the laws and their rights.

NEGRO VOTERS MAY
BOLT REPUBLICAN PARTY
(Continued from page 1) charging that certain candidates are members of the K. K. K. through the medium of a circular to which he refrained from signing his name, preferring instead to veil his identity under a false name.
Negro a Factor
The fact that the Negro is a factor in the political equation of Arlington County, accounts for the fact that he is much sought after around election time; and he has been heretofore and is now being sedulously courted by the individual in question. He has succeeded in the past in exploiting the Negro vote by propaganda sprung at the psychological moment, and boasts of the fact that they will vote as he directs. This not an idle boast, as the following will demonstrate: With the aid of the Negro vote he succeeded eight years ago in defeating the present incumbent of the office of sheriff; four years ago he ousted the then incumbent of the office of sheriff and succeeded in electing the present incumbent. He would now defeat the present incumbent and elect in his stead the man whom he defeated four years ago. Thus he has wrought his will, using the Negro as his pawn and his dupe.
Is there any wonder, therefore, that this individual has succeeded in putting the fear of God in the hearts of all candidates seeking office in Arlington County. His name is mentioned with awe, indeed a name to be conjured with. We ask, how long are we to be thus deceived and made by trick and artifice the puppets of this paragon of political sagacity? We respectfully suggest, Mr. Editor, that there is but one answer to this query and that is, that the colored voters of this county go to polls and cast their votes for the present officers of this county who have served us long and well. There has always been the most cordial and friendly relations existing between the races in this county and it will be a decided mistake if our people permit themselves to be used as the tools of this man who has again and again deceived and misled us.
We are very truly yours, The Negro Vigilance Committee
of Arlington County:

FLORENCE MILLS' SUDDEN DEATH CAUSES INTERNATIONAL MOURNING
(Continued from page 1)
vaudeville member of a "sister act." It was with the "Tennessee Ten," who played with Nora Bayes, that she found herself.
She made her first big success in New York five years ago in "Shuffle Along," the all-Negro musical comedy which enjoyed a two-year Broadway run. She was literally thrust into stardom by the sudden retirement of Gertrude Saunders. For a short while she was starred as an entertainer at the Plantation Club.
Then came Al Wood's presentation of "From Dixie to Broadway," and it became quite the thing to go to see and hear this comedienne, who emitted funny little throat sounds in her singing.
Quaint Singing
"I'm a little black bird, looking for a blue bird, toooooo-boo-hoo-hooo; I'm a little jazzbaw, looking for a rainbow, toooooooo"—she sang with a strange and pathetic quality and received encores until her physical endurance would permit her to respond no more. Upon the important stages of America and England she sang this piece. In the fall of 1925 Lew Leslie took the company to Paris and later she and her "Blackbirds" appeared in London, under the management of Charles C. Cochran. The Prince of Wales is reported to have attended her English performance no less than thirteen times.
Miss Mills and her company returned to this country on October 12. She was ill, but she refused to let it be known. Her mother, Mrs. Nellie Winfrey, who lived in an apartment under her at No. 220 West 133rd street was ill herself. When Miss Mills was taken to the hospital, she did not tell her mother where she was going. When someone called Wednesday to break the news of her death to Mrs. Winfrey, the mother said: "Don't tell me; I know. Florence is dead." Hundreds of cablegrams, telegraphs and telephone calls came in Wednesday. A. H. Woods, Fred and Adole Aatreat, Gov. Smith, Mayor Walker, Arthur Hopkins, Lee and J. J. Sübert, E. F. Albee, Carl Van Vechten, "Mother" Cook, her London benefactor, Sisle and Browning, James Weldon Johnson, and many others sent their condolences to Miss Mills' husband.
Funeral Sunday
Funeral services for Miss Mills will be held Sunday afternoon at the Mother Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church. There will be a chair of 400 voices and an orchestra of 200 pieces. The pall-bearers will be Leonard Harper, Miller and Lyles, Bill Vodery, "Hamtree" Harrington, James Marshall, George Rickson and Dewey Wineglass, all close friends of her theatrical life. Serving as

honorary pallbearers will be eight of her closest, women friends—Ethel Waters, Cora Green, Edith Wilson, Gertrude Saunders, Maud Russell, Ada Ward, Lena Wilson and Evelyn Preer. She will be buried in Wooddawn Cemetery. Miss Mills is survived by her
The convention will bring to Chicago more than fifty educators including presidents and teachers of Land Grant Colleges for Negroes and a program for the general advancement of these institutions will be formulated.
Miss Mills is survived by her husband, her mother and sisters.
News Shocks London
LONDON, Nov. 3—News of the sudden death of Florence Mills came as a shock in the theatrical world here, where she was held in great esteem and affection. One paper says if she had been a white woman she would probably have been acknowledged as one of the greatest artists; of her time. Another says she was the greatest Negro entertainer who ever appeared in England.
DR. WOODSON ADDRESSES "HUNGRY CLUB"
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 4 (PNS).—While here last week as the directing spirit of the meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, was asked by leading white scholars to return to Pittsburgh on Monday, October 31, and deliver the principal address before the Hungry Club at the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce.
"She was the most lovable woman I ever knew," said Mrs. C. B. Cochran, whose husband brought Miss Mills to London. He regarded her as the greatest discovery of his career.
This is an organization composed of the leading scholars and business men of Pittsburgh and on each Monday a distinguished speaker appears. Among other Negroes who have spoken, they are Dr. Lainey LeRoy Locke, Dr. Charles S. Johnson, E. K. Jones, William Pickens, Booker T. Washington, James Weldon Johnson, Major R. R. Morton, and John T. Clark.
