CORONER'S JURY FINDS HOMICIDE UNINTENTIONAL
A verdict of unintentional homicide was returned by a coroner's jury at the inquest Monday into the shooting to death of William E. Bower, 40, at the hands of James E. Adams of 233 Elm street northwest. According to the testimony of several witnesses including Mrs. Addie Thompson, and her daughter, Mrs. Jesse Johnson, the two women were asleep in their respective rooms when Mrs. Thompson was awakened by the sound of walking on a pile of roofing tin which lays in the back yard. Her first impression was that it might be a cat, and Mrs. Thompson, according to her story, did not become alarmed.
Heard Door Being Pushed
Later, however, when she heard the knob of the kitchen door being gently turned Mrs. Thompson avers she became alert. A cracking of the door gave her the impression that a person's weight was being placed against it. Mrs. Thompson became excited. She rushed to the window of her room, which is directly above the door leading from the kitchen into the yard.
Looking down on the stoop below, Mrs. Thompson declares she saw the form of a man. In response to her challenge asking the man's identification, she was told to "open the door." Screaming, the woman ran from the room to the front room where her daughter, Mrs. Johnson, was asleep. Awakening Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Thompson told her to call the police while she aroused Adams, the only man in the house.
Adams, who, according to his testimony, had just returned from church, had started down the steps upon hearing Mrs. Thompson's screams. When told of the presence of the back yard intruder, Adams said he'd get his revolver. Having done this he went into Mrs. Thompson's room and called to the man in the yard. When no answer other than a continuous banging on the door was forthcoming Adams called a warning, "Unless you leave, I shall shoot," he said.
Turning to Mrs. Thompson, the roofer said, "I'll shoot out of the window and frighten him." Resting his hand on the window ledge he fired the revolver, just as Mrs. Johnson opened the front door and admitted several officers from the eighth precinct.
Policeman J. J. McCauliffe was the first to reach the yard. With the use of his flashlight he found a man about 40 years of age, weighing about 150 pounds lying near the gate. The man, who was later identified as William Bower of 1326 Harrison avenue, southeast, had on no shoes and socks. He was without hat, coat and shirt. A pair of dark summer-weight trousers and underwear was all that adorned his body. He died as he was being taken to Freedmen's Hospital in the number 8 patrol wagon.
Gate Locked
Officer McCauliffe testified that the gate admitting entrance to the yard was latched, which indicated that the man had climbed the tenfoot fence. A bit of humor found its way into the inquest proceedings when, Adams on the witness stand in his own defense stated, in reply to a question, by Attorney A. W. Scott who represented him, when asked if he knew he was shooting in the direction of the man, "No, if I had taken time to aim, I guess I'd never have hit him," was his reply.
Neighbors Saw a Man
A man who wore no hat and answered somewhat to the general description of Bower was seen peering into the window of Mrs. Viola Kent's home at 2022 Second street, northwest. She called Howard Early, a roomer, who frightened the intruder away. This, it seems occurred just prior to the shooting at 233 Elm street which is in the immediate vicinity of the. Second street address.

NEW MASONIC HALL CORP. IS ORDERED DISSOLVED: RECEIVERS APPOINTED
Attorneys Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston were appointed receivers of the New Masonic Hall Corporation by Justice William Hitz last Thursday. The corporation was ordered dissolved. Bond for the receivers was fixed at $75,000.
The appointment of receivers and the order for the dissolution of the corporation were based upon a report of the auditor for the District Supreme Court filed on July 5. He reported that the corporation is solvent but has failed in its purpose and no necessity or reason exists for its continuance.
The New Masonic Hall Corporation, through its attorney, William L. Houston, petitcined the court for the appointment of receivers and the dissolution of the corporation. The petition was referred to the auditor.
Charles P. Ford, Grand Master of the Masons of the District of Columbia, broke with. Attorney Alxander Wolf, who had represented Charles, Datcher Lodge, Dr. Elias G. Evans and Allan A. C. Griffith in the suit against the New Masonic Hall Corporation for an accounting and receivership. Grand Master Ford intervened on behalf of the Masonic grand lodge, asking for representation in the appointment of receivers. Mr. Ford in open court suggested himself as one of the receivers to be appointed.
Assets to be Distributed
The New Masonic Hall Corporation was organized to construct a Masonic temple at Tenth and U streets, northwest. Dissension arose in the Masonic order and work on the building was suspended in December 1923, and litigation begun. The unfinished structure was sold at public auction in April, 1926, to the Masonic grand lodge. Word has not yet been resumed.
The New Masonic Hall Corporation, according to the report of the court auditor has assets amounting to more than $80,000, consisting of the sum of $63,239 cash in the hands of the trustees, Attorneys Wolf and Houston, who were appointed by the court to sell the unfinished structure, and property at Fifth and Virginia avenue, southeast, estimated to be worth about $15,000. The receivers also have claims against lodges and chapters of the Masonic grand lodge for rent of lodge rooms amounting to about $3,500. These assets will be distributed to the stockholders of the corporation.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1927
BLEVINS MUST RETURN TO ALA. TO STAND TRIAL
James Blevins must return to Alabama and stand trial on a charge of assault with intent to murder, the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia held Monday.
Chief Justice McCoy of the District Supreme Court ordered Blevins arrested upon requisition of the governor of Alabama. A hearing was had before Chief Justice McCoy, and Blevins was ordered to be surrendered to the Alabama officers who came for him. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out. It was denied. An appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals. Five errors were assigned.
The Court of Appeals held that it was not necessary for the indictment to state when the offense was committed, but that it is sufficient to show that the fugitive has been charged with crime in the state from which he fled.
The question of whether an offense is extraditable, the court held, is not open to inquiry in habeas corpus proceedings. Counsel for Blevins had contended that he was not guilty of an extraditable offense.
Contention Dismissed
The court dismissed the contention that the indictment was a part of a conspiracy to collect a debt. It held that the question of whether the proceedings were instituted by improper motives will not be considered in habeas corpus proceedings.
The claim that the indictment is i valid because the grand jury that returned it was composed of white men only must be addressed to the court of the jurisdiction in which the indictment was found, the Court of Appeals held.
The court declared that there is nothing in the record to indicate that Blevins will not be accorded his constitutional rights when brought to trial. Counsel for Blevins contended that Chief Justice McCoy should have held that prejudice against colored people in Alabama is so great that Blevins would not be accorded a fair trial if returned to the state.
ANN'AL WOMEN'S DINNER HELD AT HOWARD UNIV.
Over 350 women students, faculty and alumnae gathered in the dining hall of the university on Friday night, November, for the sixth annual women's dinner. An elaborate musical program of class songs, schools songs and solos had been worked out by Miss Nickerson of the Conserv tory of Music assisted by Miss Reeves of the Physical Education Department. Special features of the program were the singing of Avis Andrews, the senior song, and "taps," sung at the close of the dinner by the whole assemblage. Short addresses were made by Bobbie Turner, President of the Women's League; Anita Turpeau-Anderson of the class of 1925 and by Dean Lucy D. Slowe. Dean Slowe read a number of telegrams and letters from alumnae who regretted that they were too far away to attend. The silver cup, presented by the Howard Women's Club of Washington to the class having the highest percentage of attendance at the dinner, was won for a second consecutive time by the Senior Class.

DROPS SUIT IN RESIDENTIAL WAR
NEW YORK, Nov. 10—Samuel Browne, letter carrier and centre of a race controversy in the Castleton Hill residential district of Staten Island discontinued Wednesday a suit he had instituted two years ago asking $100,000 damages from Musco M. Robertson, wealthy real estate operator and next-door neighbor, and eight other white neighbors on the ground that they sought to deprive him of his home.
Robertson and five other residents were indicted on a charge of conspiracy to oust Browne from the community in 1926, but the case against Robertson was dropped a year ago on grounds of insufficient evidence.
Mrs. Browne, a public school teacher on Staten Island, has charged that a gang of six or seven men invaded the property early morning and destroyed shrubbery and broke windows. Since that time a policeman has constantly been on guard.
Discontinuance of the suit, Browne said yesterday, does not mean surrender. He said he is determined to keep his home.

NEGROES TURN ELECTION IN ARLINGTON, VA.
NEGROES TURN ELECTION IN ARLINGTON, VA.
CLARENDON Va., Nov. 10—Eight hundred Negro voters, the balance of power in Arlington County politics, swung Tuesday's election into the Democratic column.
The Negro voters under the leadership of Dr. S. G. Holmes, Thomas M. Watson, Joseph M. Wormley, Noble N. Thomas, Mrs. Mary Harris, William Parker, Benjamin Scott, Mrs. Margaret Morton and Moses Dade, supported the Democratic ticket.
The Republicans and independents bitterly opposed Commonwealth's Attorney William C. Gloth and Sheriff Howard B. Fields. The Negro voters supported them, and they were reelected over their opponents.
State Senator Frank L. Ball, Democrat, supported by the Negro voters, defeated Melvin J. Ely by a vote of 4,865 to 1,016. Hugh Reid, Democrat, was elected to the house of delegates in a three-cornered race. County Commissioner of Revenue defeated his Republican opponent, C. Eugene Doyle, 4 to 1. E. Wade Ball, county treasurer, was returned to the office which he has held for the past 20 years.
The Negro voters resented the intermeddling in Arlington county politics by Crandall Mackey, Washington attorney, and his raising of the Ku Klux Klan issue as a bugaboo to scare Negroes into supporting his candidates. The Republicans ignored the Negroes in the selection of their party candidates, and the Negro voters ignored them at the polls.
HARLEM ELECTS TWO NEGROES TO BD. OF ALDERMEN
NEW YORK, Nov. 10—Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, and John Clifford Hawkins, both Republicans, defeated Democratic incumbents for the Board of Alderman in the election held Tuesday.
Mr. Moore received a plurality of more than 1,200 votes for the aldermanic seat, defeating George Masterson, white, Democrat, in the nineteenth aldermanic district.
Mr. Moore was born in Washington, D.C. He is 70 years of age but very vigorous. He is a prominent figure in Harlem and is highly respected.
Mr. Hawkins was elected alderman to represent the twenty-first aldermanic district. He defeated Henri W. Shields, present colored Democratic incumbent, who is a former State Assemblyman. His plurality was more than 200.
Mr. Hawkins was born in Henderson, N.C., in 1879. He is a graduate of Lincoln University. He studied law at New York University. For the past five years he has served as assistant counsel in the New York offices of the United States Shipping Board.

MISS FITZHUGH DECLARES BOTH ASSAULTED HER
Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, prominent physician, 1717 U street, northwest, and his wife, Mrs. Helen Gordon Curtis, society leader, 1834 Vernon street, northwest, were named as the defendants in separate suits filed against them Thursday by Miss Eva Fitzhugh, 1816 S street, northwest, for $10,000 damages each for alleged assaults.
In her declarations, Miss Fitzhugh avers that Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtis assaulted her on May 8. Each of them, she states, beat, kicked and ill-treated her. As a result, she declares, she sustained injuries in and about the head, face, neck and body. Her face and neck, she says, were lacerated and bruised. Her nervous system was shocked, she asserts; that she has become permanently nervous. She also suffered great humiliation and embarrassment.
Besides the alloged assault on May 8, she also charges Dr. Arthur Curtis with having assaulted her again on July 7.
Miss Fitzhugh is represented by attorneys Wilton J. Lambert, R. H. Yeatman, Austin F. Canfield and George D. Horning, Jr.
Miss Fitzhugh is under a bond or $500 not to breach the peace. On July 15 Judge Robert E. Mattingly in police court on complaint of Dr. Curtis ordered her to post the bond to keep the peace. Dr. Curtis charged her with having threatened to do him bodily harm.
Miss Fitzhugh operates a tea room for white people at 1101 Vermont avenue, northwest.
MRS. NORMAN SUES ON NOTES DUE HUSBAND
Mrs. Ethel M. Norman, executrix of the estate of her husband, Rev. Moses W. D. Norman, through Attorney Zeph Neph Moore, filled two suits in the Municipal Court last week on notes which are a part of her late husband's estate.
One suit is against R. P. Chandler, a deacon of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, which the Rev. Norman pastored until his death. She is suing him on a note of $300 which was payable to the Rev. Norman ninety days after date. It was dated July 30, 1925.
The other suit is against John W. Lewis, 63 Fifty-third street, southeast. It is on a note for $277.40, which she declares is past due and unpaid.
CARDINAL GIBBONS CLUB
CONDEMNS STATEMENT
OF REV. FATHER DAGEY
Reverend Father Cornelius J. Dacey, pastor of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Fifteenth and V streets, northwest, was condemned by members of the Cardinal Gibbons Charity Club at a meeting last Tuesday evening for his declaration in the pulpit of his church on October 16 that members of St. Augustine and Holy Redeemer parishes should attend their churches and not visit St. Paul's. Some members of the charity club took the position that the statement of Father Dacey was an indication of his desire to make St. Paul's Church strictly white. Such race discrimination, they declared is contrary to Catholic practices Their resentment of his decaloration, which they regard as insulting, will be conveyed to Father Dacey.
The meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Carrie Brown 1231 Ninth street, northwest.
Father Dacey later in explaining his pulpit statement said that he had no reference to any particular race or color, but that he though Catholics should attend and support the particular church to which they belong.

Footlights
By McAlpin
The Howard Theatre this week is presenting "Black Pepper," a red-hot show with plenty of seasoning. The show, coming the week following the week played by the Whitman Sisters is a little handicapped. The Whitman Sisters show is an exceptionally good one, whereas "Black Pepper" is not so exceptional. Consequently, it may suffer from the direct and close comparison. Nevertheless, the show is good, and is entertaining, which counts most with the theatre-going public.
The cast is headed by Cecil Rivers and Flo Brown. The chorus, a bevy of ten red-hot peppers, is good. The girls can dance, and they even sing—which is a little different. You can actually hear their voices and tell what words they are saying—I mean singing. On the whole, the show is worth seeing.
"Sunshine" Sammy, the inimitable little star of the stage and screen, who won his fame as a member of the "Our Gang" comedies, is playing the Lincoln Theatre this week. It is really a treat to see "Sunshine" cut his capers and dance. He is a marvel. His growing older and larger is causing him to lose nore of his popularity and marvel-inducing qualities. In fact, he is increasing in both. He is just brimming over with ability and personality. Someday, in the near future, without a

WHITE ARTISTS LOCKE PREDICTS TO SING NEGRO PARTICIPATION IN COMPOSITIONS AFRICAN AFFAIRS
Intelligent participation in African affairs will eventually be the world duty of the colored American, Alain LeRoy Locke, former Rhodes scholar and now head of the department of philosophy at Howard University, said in an interview Monday.
Dr. Locke has just recently returned from Europe. He spent most of the summer as an unofficial observer of the work of the League of Nations at Geneva. He is particularly interested in the mandate system of colonial administration.
He made the following statement:
"My report, which will take some considerable time for preparation, will be submitted first to the Foreign Association of New York, under whose auspices I was sent to Geneva. However, I am free to say some things of general interest right off and without reservations.
"In the first place I am so impressed with the opportunities for study and contact at Geneva that I am planning to return next summer, and I hope some of our enterprising young men and women will join the enthusiastic forward looking students of other peoples and nationalities who crowd Geneva every summer. They will see a new world in the making, and will be made welcome, because Geneva is the mecca of the liberal and progressive elements of all nations.
Return to Geneva
"This is equally true of the Americans at Geneva; they are the type that is the hope of America. They are trying their utmost unofficially to discharge America's moral obligations in the program of world reconstruction which the world war has made necessary and

"I returned more convinced than ever that the liberal and enlightened forces of our own country are with us in our struggle for self-determination and just recognition. But if we expect to be the beneficiaries of this new democracy, we must ourselves participate in its birth struggles and help it into being. Our selfish isolation in our own group problems is inconsistent with what we expect from America and the world at large. To have a place in the sun we must come out of the shadow of the race problem and toil for the common good.
League of Nations
"Among the progressive movements of today none is more important than the work of the League of Nations. Its basic principles of the equality of nations, of the self-determination of peoples, and the moral responsibility of governments before the court of world opinion, are the only basis upon which we can hope for a world free of the oppressions and exploitation of the old order of things—the only program that may successfully avoid race war on a scale bigger even than the war we called 'the world war.' Though we have no political interests involved, the whole moral issue of race question is at stake in such a program, and we are morally bound as Negroes particularly to helpfully participate.
"It was, moreover, a great satisfaction to see at Geneva Abyssinia, Liberia and Hayti actively working in the family of nations; to hear for example that the former Haytian representative, M. Bellegarde, had left behind him the reputation of being one of the real statesmen and benefactors of the League." "On the subject to which I was assigned, it was a new vision of Africa that the program of the

One could answer him almost serenely from a vantage point where one can really see how far in the opposite direction the world has already moved, and how all the significant trends point to a slow but peaceful abdication of that overlordship.
"You ask me what I think of our recent debate in the Forum? That is not for me to say. The public is the referee. I have a short rebuttal reply in the next issue.
"I would have been keenly disappointed if Mr. Stoddard had argued any differently. His very confusion of the questions of intermarrriage and amalgamation with the real question at issue—cultural opportunities and recognition—is an admission of the dilemma in which the creed of White Supremacy has involved itself. To shield itself from its own self contradiction, it has to pretend to be the aggrieved party, menaced by a black peril
"All that is a nightmare of moral indigestion. Fortunately there is growing up, even in the South, a generation with no such bad conscience and no such hysterical fears. They may be expected to appreciate the fact that social relations are matters of individual choice and personal prerogative, and that what the Negro asks and needs is civic equality and full cultural opportunities. And they may be expected to see that in granting this, democracy has more to gain than the Negro."

Already the colonial governments are being forced to make reforms in their colonies proper to escape the moral indictment of the enlightened programs in the mandated areas.
A Suggestion
"Intelligent participation in African affairs, constructive help in African reconstruction, will eventually be the Negro-American's world duty. Our schools and colleges should already be paying special attention to these problems and questions, preparing the younger generation for intelligent, skilled participation along these lines.
"The next few years must see a program formulated and undertaken which will reemerge the limitations and fanaticism of Garveyism and which will make a small scale development like the Pan-African Congress seem but a fore-runner of a great crusade."
"It is significant that this very summer, the Pan-African Congress, which owes its being to one of our outstanding liberals, should have come at last to America. It seems to me that, nothing is more reprehensible in our race life today than the comparative lack of knowledge and interest about Africa.

WHAT CAN A MAN BELIEVE?
Let us come out in the open and face frankly the doubts that constantly assail us. Let us determine whether our religion is a reasonable thing and whether we can be just as certain and satisfied about it as we are about the material facts of our business relationships. One way to do this would be to cease our present occupations and give ourselves over to years of study of the origin of religion, of comparisons between the principal religions of the world, of the beginnings of Christianity, and the interpretation of religious concepts. The other way is to join in the prayerful discussion of vital religious problems with a man who has already done these things.
THE TWELFTH STREET BRANCH Y. M. C. A. is offering to the men of Washington—business men, professional men, school men, government men, church men, laboring men, all men—the opportunity to determine for themselves WHAT A MAN CAN BELIEVE.
WILLIAM STUART NELSON, assistant professor of philosophy and religious education at Howard University, is heading a discussion series on the problems of religion at the Y.M.C.A. each Wednesday at 8 p.m. Prof. Nelson has international experience as a student of religion and will present an appeal to men of strong convictions as well as to men who are in a period of questioning as to their beliefs. The discussion will cover a period of 12 weeks and be undenominational in character. There is no fee connected with this course. The first discussion period was held WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 at 8 p.m. in the Y.M.C.A. building. Discussions will continue each Wednesday evening through January 25.

WEEKLY SUNDAY
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13
Topic: "Hosea Preaches God's Love" or "The Loving Kindness of God."
Scripture Basis: Hosea, chapters 6, 11 and 14.
Golden Text: "I desire goodness, ard not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6.
The Thought of the Lesson
The personality and the prophetic tenor of Hosea are the reverse of those of Amos, whom we studied last Sunday. Amos was stern in personality and severe in his prohetic proclamations. Hosea, on the other hand, was of a pleading personality, and his prophetic warnings were tempered with notes of love and mercy. He declared God's displeasure with sin as definitely as did Amos, but his declarations were contained in words of love rather than those of anger. He is the prophet of salvation bearing a message of personal appeal to the backslipped to return to a waiting and leaving God, "Hosea, among the Old Testament prophets, like John among the New Testament apostles, makes the love of God the center of his teachings." Our present Sunday school lesson is a verification and an example of this fact.

WASHINGTON CHURCHES
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Warrenton, Va. By L. C. Green What is now known as the First Baptist Church, of Warrenton, Va., was among the first churches to be established in the northern part of the state. Its founding dates back to 1866 or 1867. Land on which to build the church was given by the Freedmen's Board of Fauquier County. An old barrack, located at Gordonsville, Va., was also given by the Board for the erection of a church building. The church thus obtained and erected was known as Old Zion Baptist Church, and the building served as school house and lodge room as well as church.
Rev. Leiland served as first pastor of this church. Under his pastorate the property of the Episcopal Church (white) on the Alexandria Pike was purchased, and the name of the church changed from Old Zion to First Baptist Church. Shortly after this purchase and change of name Rev. Warren resigned the pastorate and was succeeded by a Rev. Dennis, who also resigned in a short while, being succeeded by Rev. George W. Horner.
During Rev. Horner's pastorate the Northern Virginia Baptist Association was organized in the First Church (1878). After a short pastorate Rev. Horner withdrew under unfortunate circumstances and organized the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. He was succeeded at First Church by Rev. James T. Hines in 1883. After two years Rev. Hines resigned and was succeeded by Rev. R. L. Ruffin (whose son is now a deacon of the church).
The church reached the peak of success under Rev. Ruffin. Its membership grew from 160 to 660; 260 converts were counted in a single revival, 99 of whom were baptized at one time (1887). Also the fine brick building now housing the church was built under Rev. Ruffin's pastorate (1889-1890). Shortly after the completion of this building Rev. Ruffin resigned and was succeeded by Rev. J. I. Loving, who also resigned after one year.
Rev. Loving was succeeded by Rev. D. W. Jones, who served for three years. Upon Rev. Jones' resignation, Rev. N. A. Marshall was called to the pastorate of the church. Rev. Marshall also resigned after a pastorate of three years. He was succeeded by Rev. J. D. Ward, a singer and musician as well as a splendid preacher. His resignation after a brief pastorate caused much regret on the part of the church and of the community. Rev. Ward was succeeded by Rev. I. M. Champ, who served for four years and under whose pastorate the church was cleared of all debts. Upon Rev. Champ's resignation Rev. Anthony Deans was called to the pastorate of the church. Rev. Deans served the church for fourteen years and was succeeded by Rev. J. R. C. Pinn, another musician and preacher.
Rev. Pinn served the church for about two years and resigned in May of the present year. On July 21, last, the present pastor, Rev. Charles P. Harris, was unanimously called to the pastorate of the church. He accepted the call and was formally installed with impressive services on the third Sunday in October, last.
Thus the First Baptist Church of Warrenton, Va., has stood as a spiritual light-house in northern Virginia for more than sixty years. Twelve pastors have proclaimed the gospel from her historic pulpit, and the thirteenth is now dedicated to that task.

Rev. GEORGE O. BULLOCK, pastor of Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q streets, northwest.
By Rev. George O. Bullock
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the enunchs that he might not defile himself."—Dan. 1:8.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the King's meat nor with the wine which he drank. Daniel, was one of the young men who was carried captive down in Babylon by King Nebuchadnezwar. This young man, though a captive was given the privilege of attending school in Babylon, not only did he have the opportunity of attending school, but was given the advantage of being fed from the king's table.
Daniel had purposed not to defile himself with the King's meat nor with the wine which he drank. This was a noble purpose. You will note that Daniel at this time was a young man. Youth is the time in a life to have a noble purpose. You may think it all right to live a corrupt life while young, then consecrate your life to Christ in old age, but remember, the best of your life is wasted if you wait to get old before you propose to live a clean life.
The only way to make life count is to have a purpose. A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder drifting on the wide sea.
Decide early to make your life count, wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way by taking heed thereto according to the word. Let your purpose in life be high, then press toward the goal of your ambition. It is a great thing when a young man will purpose to do the right when it means to stand alone. So many people will say it is all any harm to take a drink of wine, and play a game of cards. One game or one drink may lead to a life of debauchery and sin. Daniel was determined to present to God a clean body and a strong mind. God can use such a life in a wonderful way. The blessings of the Lord rested on Daniel, on the day of his examination he stood far ahead of any of his fellows. "Every good and perfect gift cometh down from the

father of light in whom there is no variability neither shadow of turning." It is fortunate to be blessed with a superior mind, such was the blessing of Daniel and his three friends. The Lord is always willing to use a man with a purpose. Daniel stands out in the old Testament as a great prophet, a great teacher, all because he gave his life to the Lord while a young man, with a purpose true. I would to God that more of our young men and women would decide early in life to present to the Lord a clean life, a pure soul, which means a fixed purpose.
This is what God wants, that he may work through you. It is God that worketh in you both to will and to do. Co-operate with the Lord, take him as your partner. You can do a big business for right and righteousness that will attract the world.
The great need of the world today is men and women with a fixed purpose that will not be moved though the earth tremble or the heavens fall.
The thing that makes one man succeed far above another is his purpose. Let your aims be high in right and righteousness and drive to the goal of your ambition. God will bless your efforts, you have only to put your trust in Him and press forward. Paul, the great apostle, said this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are before. I press forward to the mark of the high calling of God, which is in Christ, Jesus, our Lord. If you propose to do a work for the Lord, you will find enough for your time and talent. I am determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. It was the undaunted purpose of Lindberg that urged him on in a non-stop flight across the Atlantic to brave the winds, and rain, and landed him in Paris. He had a noble purpose. We admire the noble purpose of Christopher Columbus that caused him to sail on across the Atlantic in 1492 when some of his faint hearted crew were so eager to turn back that they threatened his life. But Columbus sailed on; thus we have America today—the land of the free and the home of the brave. The lofty purpose of Abraham Lincoln to save the Union and emancipate the slaves, this purpose was honored and blest by Jehovah. God is always back of a noble purpose, and will see it to that he who promotes it shall not fail. Let us propose in our hearts to fear and serve the Lord. Stand for right, for we know that righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The record shows that individuals, or nations, who have purposed to follow sin and have rejected God have failed. Herrod, failed, Pilate failed, Judas went to destruction and death because of sin. Thousands of others have gone to destruction and death because they purposed to sin. The Kingdom of Israel failed because of sin, the Kingdom of Judah went to destruction for the same reason. Greece was destroyed because of sin; Rome totered and fell for the self-same reason. Many other kingdoms and nations have come to naught because they failed to

John T. Rhines & Co.
When the grim spectre of death stalks the air; when comes the hushed tread of solemn feet, and the intermittent sobbing of the bereawed; 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
PETER H.
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 Capitr City may be mentioned the name of Mr. John T. Rhines, of John Rhines & Company, whose establishment is located at 901 Thistle, 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 new
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 at 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 furished 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.

Bronze Casket
Miss Mills laid under glass in
x heavy casket of hand-hammored
bronze—a $10,000 duplicate of the
oné in which Rudolph Valentino
\was buried. She wore a short
‘dress of silver metal cloth, silver-
mesh “stockings “and high-heeled
silver shoes. Around her neck
was a string of matched pearls
and her hands clasped an ivory
rosary.
More than $100,000 worth of
flowers were sent. As they were
moved from the funeral chapel
they made twelve automobiles in-
to great mounds of color.
There was a great “Bleeding
Heart” from the husband of Miss
Mills, U. S. Thompson, who had
given his blood in a transfusion
to Save her life after an opera-
tion ‘for appendicitis on October
25.- An immense piece in. the
form of “Gates Ajar,” was the
tribute of Harry Wills.
There were flowers from Lady
Cook, her London benefactress;
from John Payne, an English ac-
tor; from Charles B. Cochran, the
English producer, who -made her
the talk of London; from mana.
gers and producers, from Broad-
way ahd vaudeville stars, and from
more obscure personal friends.
There was a tower of red roses
four feet broad and eight fect tall
labeled merely “From a Friend.

and black pumps. They were girl
who had worked with Miss Mill
in “Shuffle Along,” or in “Dixie t

Rey. Brown read’ a short histors

The Carolina Choir from’ the
Roxy Theatre, standing in the left
aisle,/sang, “Deep River.” Rev.
Brown turned to eulogy. “The
race has sustained a great loss,
the theatrical profession has lost
its brightest star,” he said. He
spoke of the sunshine Florence
Mills had brought to thousands, of
her dignity and poise, and helpful
ness in the days of her success.
He suggested a memorial to her
“to perpetuate her life and work”
in the promotion of better race re-
lations.
Jesse Shippe, head of the Col-
ored Benevolent Association, read
a few of the hundreds of cable-
grams and telegrams received by
her mother. “Since Booker T.
Washington there has been no loss
so great,” cabled Noble Sissle from
England. “The world has lost 2
great artist,” wired Edgar Selwyn.

DEATH OF THE MOTHER
‘Timothy developed very rapidly
im the new atmosphere. Mingling
with young people older and more
advanced in the rudiments of edu-
cation than he, rubbing elbows
with legislators, and spending
‘much of his spare time in the of-
fir of the Sentinel (whose owner,
Mr. Walton, a Northern man, was
the State Printer and had taken
a fancy to. Timothy), “sticking
typs,”. attending Sunday school,
thus finding plenty of social life
among the young people. Many
of the girls were very pretty and
quite superior in many ways. Tim-
‘othy expanded rapidly and began
to use his eyes and understanding
for what they were given him, to
weigh men and measures at their
proper value. On the whole, the
Afro-American members of the
legislature were a capable lot,
‘averaging in intelligence their na-
tive white and carpet big associ-
ates.
Little Pons, of Escambla county,
was the freak member of the Sun-
day school, being little larger than
‘Tom Thumb; Harry S. Harmon, of
Alachua county, was the dandy,
the lady’s man, very intelligent
and alert and a very ready speak-
er; General Josiah T. Walls, a
former Union soldier, was Adju-
tant-Géneral of militia and every
inch ‘a soldier, and carried his
sword as a soldier to buttress the
dignity of his position, which was
greatly enlarged when he became

The session was drawing toa
close. Timothy took a week-end
off to see his mother at Jackson-
ville, as she was sick’ unto death

brief years of freedo:a appeared
to multiply for her, who was born
to years of slavery and insult and
enforced labor, which eat up frail,
sensitive creatures as the canker
and the worm devour the things
they hitch themselves upon. And
she was high strung and sensitive,
small of stature and beautiful of
figure and features, unfitted in
every way for the hard life which
became her portions as the mother
of five children at the age of
thirty-six years. The wherefore

The personal element is equally important in the
conduct of a funeral, as proficiency in technical re-
quirements. Tact and sympathetic understanding
must go hand in hand with professional skill.
You will find our service admirably combining these
desirable features. We strive to give the kind of ser-
vice that precludes any possibility of confusion or em-
barassing delays.

I Prices Within the Reach of All
By Louis R. Lautier
Through Attorneys James E.
White and S. A. T. Watkins, eol-
ored Shriners last Saturday filed. in
the Supreme Court of the United
States a supplemental brief in
support of their appeal to set aside
the decision of the Texas courts
enjoining them from. using the
name, emblems and insignis of the
Order of Mystic Shrine.
In it ‘they asserted that the whi-e
Shriners. were guilty of laches.
‘The. colored. Shrine. organization
has existed for 23 years and, it is
a.gued, the white organization
through its long delay in asserting
any adverse right has lost any
right it might have had to object,
The statute of limitations of
Te~as, which provides that evory
action other than for the recovery
of real estate must be brought
within, four years, is a complete
ba to the action of che white
Shriners and the rights of the
eclored Shriners are vested and
protected by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Federal Consti-
tution, it is claimed in the ‘brief.
‘The argument is also made that
it is a settled rule of law. that long
delay anid acquiescence —estab-
lished rights which the courts
Wold protect,; In 1804, it. i
stated, the white Shriners received
offirial notice of the existence and
activities of the colored Shriners.
‘The decision of the Texas courts,
it is contended, is contrary to a
long line’ of decisions of the’ Su-
preme Court of the United States.
State courts are bound by the Con-
stitution, it is declared, to give full
faith and credit to the decisions
0” the Supreme Court.
Case Cited
In th> case of Creswill against
the Grand Lodge of'the Knights of
Pythias, it is pointed out, the Su-
preme Court held that the white
Knights of Pythias were guilty of
such ong delay and acquiescence
as defeated their action when it
was shown that the colored order
was permitted to exist for a num-
be of years without objection on
the part of white Knights of Py-
thias.
It is also claimed that the de-
cin of the Texas courts denied
to, colored Shriners a substantial
right granted by an act of Con
gres.. of April 9, 1866, which pro-
vided that all citizens of the United
States shall have the same right
in every state as is enjoyed by
white citizens:
The Texas decision, it is also
claimed, confiscated property of
colored ‘Shriners without due pro-
cess of law.
Both white and colored Shriners
trace their origin from the same
‘source.
Instituted A.D. 656
‘The Order of Mystic Shrine was
instituted by the Mohammedan
Kalif flee, son-in-law of . the
| Brophet Mohammed, at Mecea,
Arabia, A.D. 653.
|” William J. Florenco, who was
initiated into the osder in some
foreign country, brought it _to
‘America. He introudeed it to Dr.
Walte> M. Flemming, who, in tur,
. introduced it among the white Ma-
[fons of this country, about 1872.
‘They formed a grand body in 1876.
‘The ritual now in use is-a trans-
lation from the original Arabic
found preserved in the archives of
‘the order at Aleppo, Syria. ‘The
emblems are the crescent, | pyra-
‘mid,-sphink head, panther-bodied
female sphink, urn, sun, moon and
‘stars, and have been in use for
‘centuries by the Oriental peoples
and Egyptians. The red. Turkish
fez is the head covering and is
worn by the Turks and many other
Oriental people.
Thirteen colored Masons, who
were Knights Templar and thirty-
second degree Scottish Rite Ma-
sons, were initiated into the Order
of Mystic Shrine in Chicago, Ill,
June 1, 1893, by Rofeld Pasha o!
‘Arabia, S. Hussein of Syria, Ame
Kader of Palestine and A, B. Belot
‘of the North Coast of Afirca.
First Organized in Chicago
These men organized Palestine
Temple at Chicago on June 2
1898, Its name was later changed
to Arabic Temple. On June 10,
1893, they organized a Grand Im.
perial Council. It was. incorpo:
rated under the laws of the State
of Illinois on July 5, 1893, and the
constitution and. laws for the gov-
ernment.of the order were entered
in the Congressicnal Library by

Shriners were organized in the cit
ies of St. Louis, Kansas City
Louisville, Cleveland, New York
City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Alex-
andria and Richmond, Va. Los

‘The Prerequisites
The prerequisites, for ‘member-
ship in both the white and colored
Shriners. are that the applicant
must be a Mason and a Knight
Templar or thirty-second, degree
Scottish Rite Mason, Both ordays
draw their memberships from the
respective grand lodges of Masons.
There is no affiliation between the
white and colored” Masons, al-
‘though both eame from the ‘same
source.
The first Masonic grand lodge
was organized in England in 1717.
It instituted lodges in America.
Prince Hall and his fourteen as-
sociates at Boston, Mass., on
March 6, 1775, were the first col-
ored persons initiated in the Order
of Free Masonry in America.
They formed a ledge which. was
chartered by the Masonic Grand
Lodge of England on September
29, 1784 under the nam of African
Lodge No. 459.
Later, lodge of colored Mason:
was instituted at. Philadelphia and
another lodge at Providence, Rhode
Island. These three colored lodges
int 1808 organized the Prince Hall
Grand Lodge of Massachusetts.
From this beginning grand lodges
of colored Masons were organized
in nearly every state of the United
States and Canada. ‘The grand
lodge of colored Masons was or-
ganized in Texas in 1885.
The Order of Knights ‘Templar
was started among the colored
Masons in 1820, and that of Scot-
tish Rite in 1850. They are being
practiced by colored Masons. in
nearly every state of the United
States and Canada. They have
been practiced longer by white Ma-
sons.
11,000 Shriners
There are more’ than 300,000 col-
ore Masons in the United, State
and about, 60,000 Knights Templar
and Scottish Rite Masons. Of
these there , are 11,000 colored
Shriners.
Both white and colored Masonic
orders have charity and relief for
their object ,and so do-both Shrine
organizations. Funds are. derived
from initiation fees, dues and as-
sessments.
‘The colored Shriners have ac:
cumulated for their purposes over

‘The modern trend of education
points to a far greater disversifi-
cation of occupations for members
of our groups than was possible
under the old scheme of affairs.
This new trend of education has
ferred with the wihte officers on
affairs of the orders.
The suit for an injunction was
filed on December 14, 1918, by. the
officers of Arabia Temple, white,
‘against the officers of Doric Tem-
le, colored, at El Paso, Texas
Tater both the colored and. the
white national organizations inter-

| On February 22, 1924, an in.
junction against the colored Shrin-
ers was granted. Its prohibition
ran against all subordinate temple
and the entire membership of the
colored Shrine throughout North
America.
‘An appeal was taken to the
Court of Civil Appeals of ‘Texas.
That court affirmed the judgment
and decree of the trial court. An
appeal was then made to the Su-
preme Court of Texas. That court
affirmed the decree of both the
trial court and the Court of Civil
Appeals. The colored Shriners
then appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States for s
writ of certiorari, The white
Shriners have not yet filed their
brief in opposition to the petition
‘ef the colored Shridars,
not been entirely accepted as final;
but to the minds of owe most
Progressive educators, it is eon-
sidered the best education for the
youth of today. <
But, you may ask, what is new
about education of today. To this
guestion is two answers. One is
that modern education prepares
the youth in general, to. face a
new and intricate civilization. The
other is that it creates new con-
cepts and ideals in the minds of
the young Negro, that will tend
to make him a producer as. well
as a consumer. Putting this last
statement in a different way, we
would say that modern education
tends toward economic stabjlity for
the race.
What Do We Supply?
And how does modern education
do all this? Before answering
this question, it might be well to
regard our economic status _of
the present day. Have we any
great industry which we monopo-
lize? Is there anything that we
can supply the world, to make it
move along? 5
The Greeks monopolize the fruit
trade, the Japanese and. Swedes
the match industry, Chinese. the
tea; all these peoples are peculiar-
ly adapted for the production of
some great staple product. In
many cases people can boast of
two or more great industries; ot
even a great diversification of in-
dustries, as is the ease in our own
country.
But where does the race man
‘fall in this industrial scheme? He
falls out, We produce only a par
of the ‘hair preparations, which
are used nearly exclusively by our
own people,
Our efforts along other lines in
the field of industry are negligible
There are isolated cases of textile
mills, enamel plants, and the like;
[but on the whole, our efforts in
the industrial world are weak an¢
‘poorly directed.

RUSHES ON FI
CHARLES F. POINTS DIRECTS
TEAM TO LEAVE FIELD
WITH SIX MINUTES
TO PLAY
By Sam Lacy
Dissatisfied because of the ruling of Referee A. Kiger Savoy declaring legal, a touchdown made by "Tick" Smith in the closing minutes of the Howard-Wilberforce game last Saturday, the Big Green squad left the field and forfeited the game to the Bisons, 1-0. Charles F. Points, chairman of the Wilberforce Athletic Council led a parade of visiting partisans through the crowd of jeering spectators to the team's dressing quarters, after the two elevens had battled thru three quarters of scoreless football. Graves coach of the Ohio team, argued that the referee had blown his whistle when Smith fell and that the ball should have been declared dead. Points suggested forfeiture.
Legality of Run Disputed
The questionable play occurred with 6 minutes to play in the final quarter. "Tick" Smith, following a line plunge by Dan Brown which netted 2 yards and placed the ball on the Wilberforce 49-yard line, took the pass from center and made a thrust just inside the visitors' right flank. Reaching the line of scrimmage, Smith, by some means fell, but in a breath had rolled over and regained his feet. He then wormed his way aided by a perfectly formed interference 48 yards through the Wilberforce team to the goal line.
The players' had lined up for the kick for extra point when the chairman of the invaders' Athletic Council ran into the field of play and entered a vigorous protest on the ground that the player's forward progress had been stopped. He declared that the touchdown was illegal, Coach Graves was of the same opinion and the boys were directed to retire.
Spectators Jeer Visitors
Surging on to the field the mob of scoffing spectators surrounded the visiting players. Several blaws between defenders of the two sides were barely averted, and only with difficulty were the members of the team able to reach the gymnasium where their quarters were. Prior to the forfeiture, the game was one of the best exhibitions of football in which Howard has participated since the players were threatened with the university's refusal to feed them. Jack Young was easily the offensive works of the locals and the outstanding ground gainer of the contest. His slashing off tackle thrusts gave many a thrill to the vast assemblage. Even the staunchest rooter of the visiting horde applauded the remarkable efforts of the Bison halfback.
Hawkins a Star
"Little Crow" Hawkins, so named by his teammates was the most aggressive of the Blue and White linemen. The undersized guard in his first year on the Hilltop outplayed the veterans. He was "in" on every Wilberforce play, and on several occasions tackled a visiting back before that worthy could reach the scrimmage line. On punts, Hawkins was down field with the ends.
Captain Harding and Green were the visitors' mainstays. The former proved himself to be a triple threat man of ability and the latter, though kept well in hand by the Bison lineman exhibited a nifty knack of shifty ball carrying. Wu Fang Ward was, literally "no trouble." He was perhaps the least troublesome of the Ohioans' backfield.
Payne kicked off. Harding received and ran the ball to the Wilberforce 27-yard line. Ward gained 4 yards at right tackle. With only 6 yards to go and second down, Harding punted to Payne who was downed after taking 2 strides. Young made 5 yards at right tackle. Brown failed to gain. Young then made it a first down through the opposing left tackle. Wilberforce called time out. Hinton got 2 yards at center and was hurt. Ewell replaced him. The pass from center went wild and Brown after recovering the ball gained 7 yards through the line. Young carried the ball and Howard had another first down. Ewell in 2 tries got 5 yards. Brown made 1 yard but the
THE SPORT REVIEW
Bisons were penalized 15 yards for illegal shifting.

Ward peeled off 4 yards at left tackle. An off-side penalty set Wilberforce 5 yards closer to their goal. Ward hurtled through the right side of his line for a first down. Harding made 3 yards at center. His pass to Green, on the next play was incomplete. Harding kicked outside on Howard's 22-yard strip. Payne and Young failed to gain on 2 tries at the line. Tyson punted exactly 52 yards where Green was down on his 28-yard line. Ward got 5 yards which were lost when on an attempted criss-cross from kick formation Mendenhall was tackled behind his line. Harding kicked to Payne who ran 4 yards and was stopped. Nixon broke through the Howard defense and mailed Young for a 1-yard loss. Howard called time out, during which Coles was substituted for Ewell. Coles annexed 4 yards at center. Young fumbled the next pass, but recovered, Tyson, back to kick was the victim of a bad pass from center and fumbled momentarily. Regaining it he circled end for a 2-yard gain. Wilberforce ball.

Young made a first down. Ewell added 6 yards at left and Brown got 1 at center. Young gained 4 yards then lost 3 when the Bison line allowed the invaders to sift through. On the next play, Coles was nailed for a 5-yard loss when Slater broke through.
Young's pass was caught by Cole for a 10-yard gain. Tyson's punt bounced out of Ward' hands and Hawkins grabbed the ball. It was an error on the part of Ward and the Bisons had the oval on the Wilberforce 26-yard line. Young gained 4 yards and Brown added another. After Young had failed to gain, Coles attempted a drop-kick which was blocked by Slater. Wilberforce was given the ball on Howard's 45-yard line. Harding lost 4 yards at right end, but gained on a 7-yard pass to Hudson. Ward was stopped for no gain. Harding's place kick attempt from the 45-yard line was blocked by Rainey. Ewell recovered. Young annexed 5 yards at left guard, Cole got 2 more at the opposite guard. Harding was again penalized 15 yards for illegal shifting. Tyson punched and though Green dodged Ewell he was nailed by Hawkins Payne reported for Cole. Two passes Harding to Mendenhall and Ward, respectively, were unsuccessful. The quarter ended with the ball in Wilberforce's possession in mid-field.

SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor
"Tis sad indeed that our universities must have such offices as Boards of Athletic Control and Athletic Councils and Committees in Charge of Athletics and all that sort of bunglesome bunk when in reality they do more harm than good.
No better example of their futility needs be offered than that of the Wilberforce University football team in its game with Howard last Saturday when, under the direction of the school's Chairman of the Athletic Council, the players left the field in an attitude of "Oh, get a-way; that isn't fair, we are certainly not going to play."
Since that time many of us have upbraided the 'Force boys. Some of us have even gone so far as to call the team "yellow." Now, let's be fair. The blame is being mislaid. The boys are not responsible, Mr. Points is at fault.
The students at our Universities are taught and compelled to respect the authority of their elders and certainly their professors. Mr. Points is not only a professor; he is also chairman of the Wilberforce Athletic Council, which in itself is supposed to be a big thing. He ordered the boys off the field in the face of their willingness to finish the game. They retired, of course.
Now then, it seems to the writer that when one holding the position Mr. Points does, compels such an action on the part of his students, the body he represents is indorsing backward steps rather than taking strides of a progressive nature. True sportsmanship can never exist if college officials continue this sort of pettiness.
If no such board or council existed it would not be possible for one man to run out onto the field of play during an athletic contest and stop the game because things were not going to suit him. If there was no such committee as the one on which Mr. Points serves, college athletes, who in most cases have a fair degree of sportsmanship, could maintain a spirit of good will and yet have no reason to show disregard for their instructors.
INSTITUTE SQUAD DOWNS HAMPTON HANDS SHAW LINCOLN LIONS SEVERE PASTEING
CHARLESTON, W. Va. — A fighting Lion team stung by four successive defeats battled the West Virginia Collegiate Institute eleven gamely in an effort to win last Friday but the brilliant open field running of Nash and the relentless line smashing of Edwards were too much for them. Although defeated 20 to 6, Lincoln put up a game fight which showed that gradually Morrison is welding a real team out of his green material and that Howard is in for a battle Thanksgiving. With a crowd numbering nearly 3,000 looking on, Nash, after Kyle had recovered a loose ball on Lincoln's 40-yard line, sidestepped his way 38 yards to the 2-yard mark. On the next play McConnell hurtled through the defending line for the first score.
Nash's 50-yard run back of one of
of LaMar's long spiral punts was
the feature of the game. He alone
was the individual star of the con-
test.

Red Haywood, Freck Franklin, Lou Meredith, Jelly Jackson, the French brothers and Josh Barnes are among the team's performers.
fumbled and Howard recovered. This was another error for Ward, and he was immediately yanked. Snell replaced him, and Nixon downed the ball on the 49-yard ribbon. A cross-buck which ended in a pass from Mendendahl to Green netted the visitors 5 yards. Wilberforce was penalized 5 yards for overline in the huddle. Vernon Smith substituted for Hawkins. Another criss-cross play lost 3 yards for the Ohioans. A pass from Harding to Hudson was incomplete. Harding punted and Nixon downed the bal lon the 49-yard line. Brown made 2 yards at center. Smith started a run off-tackle, lost his feet, fell free, and was up again behind perfectly formed interference which enabled him to siz-gap 46 yards to the last white line.
The teams had lined up for extra point when Charles F. Points ran on to the field and called the visitors off.
NEW QUINT FORMING
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Nov. 7.—Hampton's Blue and White team defeated the already many times defeated Shaw University team in the Raleigh League Park on November 5, with the overwhelming score of 45-0. From the kick-off it was plain that Hampton had things pretty much their own way. Shaw kicked to Hampton and Byrd received the ball to run through the entire Shaw team for a seventy-yard run. He was not tackled until reaching the ten-yard line. Throughout the game Bulldog Williams, Wildman Lee, Byrd, and Wop Hunter played havoc with the Shaw squad. Bulldog Williams contributed three touchdowns, Byrd, two, Wildman Lee, one and Beau Guest, one.
Shaw, however, was not without its stars. There was Chambers in the backfield who had to be watched constantly. He placed Shaw twice within scoring distance in the second half, when the Bears seemed to be a real threat. Hampton's forward wall was equal to the test and drove the Bears out of the danger zone. On the line was Captain Hughes in tackle and Black on end, who were shining lights.

BUCKING BEARS BEAT
BUFFALOES
A greatly surprised Teddy Bear team barely escaped with a 7-0 victory over the lightly held Buffalo A. C. eleven before a crowd of some 3,000 fans which lined the boundaries of the field at the Monument lot last Sunday afternoon. Bell's costly fumble on his team's 33-yard ribbon, paved the way for the Buffalo defeat late in the first quarter. Having fallen on a loose ball just prior to the touchdown, the Orange and Black fullback on a series of line plunges carried the oval to the 30-yard line. On the next play he hit the line for 3 yards, but when tackled lost his hold on the pigskin. Proctor recovered it.
A steady march carried the ball to within 5 yards of the final strip from where "Keystone" Davis ran it over.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1927
BEARS TO PLAY RIVAL ROAMERS
What promises to be the fastest and most hotly contested grill of the present grid season is the contest between Willie Mac Murray's Alexandria Roamers, the prides of Virginia, and Johnnie Mac Tatum's Teddy Bears carded for the Monument lot Sunday. Boasting of the strongest combinations in the history of their clubs, these two traditional rivals will perhaps attract one of the largest crowds of football enthusiasts ever to witness a football fray in this city. Having come out ahead in the 1926 series the boys from across the river are looking forward to repeating. Their victories over two other District teams, the Pirates and the Buffaloes have given the Murraymen added confidence.
The west end aggregation, on the other hand is, like a restless two-year-old, straining at the barrier. The time, it appears, cannot fly quickly enough for the Bears so eager are they for the chance to avenge the stinging defeat they suffered last year. They, too, boast of a win over the Buffaloes. Dorsey, Blue, Grisby, Conrad and Hamilton stand out as the shining lights of the Blue and White aggregation while the Orange and Blue machine boasts of a set of capable performers in the persons of Scott, Brooks, Shanklin, Hawkins and Clark.
“Pick” Strange, a newcomer to the Alexandria horde, will bear plenty of watching, if his performance against the Ebenezer team last Sunday is to be taken as an example. He is an end.
ATLANTA U. ELEVEN DEFEATS MOREHOUSE 26-0
ATLANTA, Ga.—Atlanta University invaded the den of the Morehouse Tigers last Saturday and took their measure at 26 to 0. Atlanta went in to repeat last year's performance of a touchdown from the first kick-off. They could not repeat the trick but they did score the first touchdown in exactly one minute. The Tigers growled menacingly but Atlanta meant business too and after a run of ten yards by Edwards and a pass for ten yards more, Atlanta pushed over the second touchdown in ten minutes after the first whistle. Red Jones broke loose for a run of nineteen yards and then a pass completed the third touchdown and the end of the first quarter, making the score 19 to 0. The second quarter was lit up by a brilliant plunge from McPherson for twelve yards right through center. Successive drives led to the fourth touchdown and closed the first half with a score of 26 to 0. There was no more scoring.
During the entire game Atlanta made nineteen first downs to two by Morehouse. Atlanta tried sixteen passes with six to the good and Morehouse tried nine with one successful. Atlanta gained 182 yards by rushing and Morehouse gained 40.

BISONS IN FOR MUCH TROUBLE SATURDAY
The Bisons of Howard University will be put to a real test on Saturday, November 12, when they clash with the stalwart eleven from Atlanta University. Smarting under their 7-0 deafest last year at the hands of the locals, Coach Aiken has been bending his energies toward winning their game and evening the score.
The Atlanta team suffered quite a set-back in the loss of Lamar, one of its last season's stars, but this has been more than offset by the acquisition of Whedbee, former star quarterback on the Virginia Seminary eleven, whose generalship and all around playing won for him a place in the foremost rank of eclored gridiron players. He is playing an even stronger game for Atlanta, while Mc.Pherson, the star half back of last season, is living up to his previous reputation.
The Atlanta boys have won most of the games played this season, and held the strong Fisk team to a 0-0 score, which team played the Bisons to a 13-13 score. While reports have reached Howard that the Georgia boys are confident of capturing the game, Coach Watson feels that nothing can now stop his rejuevated Bisons. A hard and stubborn battle is expected.
FISK EASILY DOWNED BY TUSKEGEE
ALUMNI BOWL, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 5—After playing the Tuskegee Tigers to a standstill in the first quarter the Fisk Bulldogs broke under the strain of the steady drive and punch of Coach Abbott's men and lost by a score of 32 to 0. A brilliant array of rooters were present and heard the crack Tuskegee band of sixty pieces play during the halves.
The Tigers scored in the first half by virtue of Stevenson's 20-yard run which placed the ball on the 7-yard line from which point Wooten toted it over.
In the second half the Tigers drove through the weakening Fisk line with plunges and sweeping end runs by Stevenson, Shanklin and Steward. Two fumbles in this half were costly for Fisk. A safety was scored when McErlay, playing fullback for Pope, was tackled behind the Fisk goal line. After this the Tuskegee team showed to a decided advantage with long, spectacular runs by Stevenson, Wooten and Steward featuring the game.

DUNBAR AND BOOKER T.
IN SCORELESS DRAW
With the score 7-6 in favor of the Ebenezer church eleven, and the Alexandria Roamers pushing hard to what in all probability would have been a second touchdown for the Virginians, the Ebenezer team quit the field and thereby forfeited an otherwise well-contested game to the Virginians. The church lads claimed that the refree had not placed the ball in the proper position when it was replaced for the last quarter.
Dunbar's grid squad journeyed to Norfolk, Virginia, Friday, November 3, met Booker T. Washington and played them to a 0-0 deadlock. The contest was rough in spots and was stopped several times due to injuries received by Dunbar men. Thrice Booker T. walked to Dunbar's 10-yard line but each time the line tightened and held, forcing Booker T. to relinquish the ball. Once Dunbar threatened, but with the ball on Booker T.'s one-yard line due to a 10-yard pass from Larry to Beck-
Bad sportsmanship was shown throughout the entire game on the part of the Ebenezer team and their followers.

Eg cireum-
stances surrounding the abrupt
close and resultant forfeiture of
the Wilberforce-Howard football
game last Saturday the principals
made the following statements:
Clatence (Tick) Smith, Avho
made the run which was protested
said, “When I reached the line of
scrimmage, I merely lost my foot-
ing. I was up in a second though,
and was never really tackled. No
one was more surprised at the
Wilberforce contention than 1.”
A. Ke Savoy, referee: “Smith
did ‘not hit the ground while in
the grasp of an opponent. He
fell free of anyone, squirmed, got
up and ran. He would have been
down and the ball declared dend
had his forward progress been
completely stopped, or had he
been in the grasp of an opponent.
Neither, in my opinion, occurred,
therefore I did not sound my whis-
tle.”
L. U. Gibson, ‘an Eastern Board
Official, who witnessed the game:
“The player has never been downed
according to the roles.” Among
others to share this opinion are
W. E. Morrison, Lincon University
Athletic Director, William Wright,
Eastern Board Official, and E. P.
Westmoreland, Coach’ of Arm-
strong High eleven and an Eastern
Board Oficial.
Wilberforce Statements
Captain Harding, Wilberforce
ficld leader, and star halfback:
“The whistle blew and play should
have been stopped.”
Coach Graves, Wilberforce men-
tor: “The referee blew his whistle,
but did not stop the, play. ‘The
touchdown was illegal.”
Charles F. Points, Chairman of
Wilberforce Athletic Counsil, who
stopped the game: “The man was
tackled, the whistle sounded and
the ball was dead. The decision
was unfair.” A special letter re-
ceived Tuesday from Mr. Points
says,
To whom it may concern: I ad-
mit that it was not good sports-
manship to have the Wilberforce
football team leave the field in pro-
test of an official’s decision at
Howard University, Saturday, No-
vember 5, yet, as chairman of the
Athletic Council, Wilberforce Uni-
versity, I assume full responsibil-
ity for their actions, as there are
times and circumstances when
even good sportsmanship ceases to
be a virtue.”
. Watson is Sorry
L. L. Watson, Howard Univer:
sity Coach: “I have nothing to say,
except that I am sorry.”
Haley Dougiass, umpire of the
game: “The man was not in the

E. B. Henderson, field judge:
“The rules state that a player
must be in the grasp of an oppo-
nent when any portion of his per.
Son except his hands of fee
touches the ground in order to be
declared down. Smith was not.”
Benjamin Washington, — head.
Tinesman: “The referee’s decision
was right!” ‘
‘A telegram from Dr. Gilbert H
Jones, president of Wilberforce
University, stated, “I know noth-
ing official about the Howard
game and forfeit. I Have nothing
to say. I regret the incident very
much.” y
Dr. E, P. Dayis, chairman, Board
of Athletic Control, Howard Uni-
versity: “I have nothing to say at
present. I am very. sorry.”

Team B argues that the off-side

touchdown should not be allowed.
Answer—Touchdown. is allowed.
Team A declines the penalty, This
matter of declining penalties calls
for good and quick Judgment. In
the Navy-Notre Dame. game, the
favy elected to accept a five-yard
penalty for off-side on a kick, after
theskick had travelled long into
Notre Dame territory. ‘The penalty
still left the Navy with fourth down
and six yards to go. The next play
was a kick which was blocked and
converted into a touchdown by
Notre Dame, Oh the other hand
in the Lincoln-Tuskegee game, Tus-
kegee accepted in lieu of a five-yard
penalty the advantage of a» kick,
when the five-yard penalty would
have given them a first down with
ten yards to go. When the captain
of a team makes his choice known
he is not allowed to change his de-
cision.
