PLEA FOR 90- DENIED; WI TO JAMAI
By Louis R. Lautier
NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 1—
The redemption of the Negro race by Marcus Garvey, self constituted "leader of the colored race of the world," must be accomplished from Kingston, Jamaica, if the plans of the immigration authorities do not miscarry.
Garvey, released from the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., is here awaiting deportation. Attorney General John G. Sargent in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday, approved a parole for Garvey on the condition that he be deported. The United States Commissioner of Immigration ordered his agents to proceed immediately with his deportation. He was brought from Atlanta here to be put aboard the first ship that sailed for the British West Indies. Legal efforts to prevent the deportation of Garvey will be instituted by his attorneys.
Garvey, a British subject, came into the United States, located in New York City, and conceived a scheme to promote solidarity among Negroes through several organizations the chief of which was the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
He aroused the enthusiasm of thousands of Negroes. He appealed to their hopes and aspirations. Money poured into the coffers of his organization the persons contributing were intent on the ultimate uplifting and salvation that Garvey promised to the Negro race of America.
He starred thirty-day conventions in New York City. He bedecked himself in gay uniforms with all the trappings of royalty in foreign countries. He called himself the "provisional president of Africa." He bestowed titles of lord, knight and duke upon several prominent col.1 Americans who went through all the ceremony that is a part of the bestowing of a title by a king upon his subjects.
Garvey fancied himself a Moses, a Messiah with a message to deliver, and believed that he needed ships for the deliverance of colored people. He organizd the Black Star Line and incorporated it under the laws of Delaware. It had for its purpose the acquisition and management of steamships. These ships were ultimately intended to transport to Africa colored men and women and much material, there to build up a greater country for the Negro race.
Garvey and some of his followers were indicted for using the mails to defraud in persuading Negroes to buy shares of stock in the Black Star Line at $5 a share. The Government charged that notwithstanding florid representations to the contrary, Black Star Line stock could never be worth $5 a share or any other sum of money.
Garvey was convicted. On June 21, 1923, he was sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary. He was committed February 8, 1925. He became eligible for parole on October 7, 1926, but because there were other charges pending against him the Department of Justice refused to release him.
Garvey himself asked that his sentence be commuted so that he might be deported, but requested permission to remain in the United States for 90 days after his release to transact "important business." He was denied freedom for any period.
Authority for his deportation was found in his conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude within five years after his arrival in this country.
THREE SCHOOLS SHARE
$36,000 GIFT
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 26. Fisk University, under a final settlement of the estate of Miss Emeline Cushing, of Boston, received a third part of $36,000. Miss Cushing, who died in 1895, was always a friend of Negroes and a promoter of Negro education. When she died she left $18,000 and expressed a desire to aid Negro education, but without specifying what schools should receive the money. After allowing the $18,000 to increase by drawing interest until it reached $36,000, three institutions, Fisk, Atlanta University, and Calhoun Colored School of Calhoun, Alabama, were approved by Attorney General Arthur K. Reading as the most worthy institutions to receive the gift.

FISK JUBILEE SINGERS
SAIL FOR EUROPE
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 26. On December 3, the Fisk Jubilee Singers are to sail from New York on the Penland for France where they will begin a six months concert tour of Europe. This is the fourth annual tour of Europe since 1924. The singers who are traditionally the successors to the original Jubilee Singers who went abroad three times between 1871 and 1888, will travel in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany and England before returning to America for a national tour in the fall of 1928. Their first concert will be in Salle Gavan, Paris, on December 14.
Recently the troupe sang before John D. Rockefeller and his family and each member was cordially received by him and given the usual Rockefeller gift—a newly minted dime.
On their program the singers not only include the Jubilee songs and Negro spirituals, but their program carries, as well, many difficult classical selections.
In the troupe are Mrs. James A. Myers, contralto, who has been with the singers 28 years; Ludie D. Collins, bass; H. W O'Bannon, baritone; Edward H Matthews, baritone; Carl J. Barbour, first tenor; J. W. Whittaker, second tenor.
MAN, KILLED BY HOLD-UP MEN, IS BURIED
MAN, KILLED BY HOLD-UP MEN, IS BURIED
Funeral services for Frederick F. Thomas, 24, were held yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock from his residence, 1517 Corcoran street, northwest, the Reverend Davis, assistant pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church officiating.
Thomas was shot by one of two hold-up men last Saturday evening in an alley near North Capitol and N streets. He died at Fredmen's Hospital Sunday morning.
Thomas left home Saturday shortly after 5 o'clock p.m. refusing to eat any dinner as his father and sister were endeavoring to persuade him to do. He went to 1229 North Capitol street where he and a friend, E. C. Berry, owned partnerships in a bootluck establishment.
A few minutes before 6 o'clock Thomas is said to have become hungry and left the place with the intention of going to get something to eat. Returning from a nearby Greek restaurant the man took a short cut through the alley. Two men standing in the darkness of the alley ordered him to put up his hands, as he was about to pass them. Instead of complying with the demand, Thomas ran. He was shot. At Freedmen's Hospital, physicians said there was nothing that could be done, the bullet having pierced his left lung.
It is believed the men saw Thomas change a $5 bill at the restaurant where he spent thirty cents and placed themseleves in his line of travel. Conscious throughout, Thomas told police the taller of the two men was the one who fired the shot. He described him as best he could, but could give no information regarding the other bandit. No arrests have been made.
Thomas is survived by his father, James E. Thomas; his mother, Mrs. Carrie M. Thomas, and a sister, Bessie M. Thomas.
TO HOLD EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION
The Emancipation Association of the District of Columbia, of which P. H. Bethia is president, is fostering an Emancipation celebration Monday, January 2, at the Asbury M. E. Church, Eleventh and K streets, northwest. Colonel West A. Hamilton, U.S.A.R., will deliver the principal address. Several organizations will be present.
FIRST WIFE OF DR. S. S. THOMPSON SUES FOR DOWER
Claiming that she was the lawful wife of Dr. Silas S. Thompson at the time of his death and is now his lawful widow, Mrs. Elizabeth D. Thompson, 45 years old, 952 R street, northwest, filed suit Tuesday in the District Supreme Court for dower rights in the real estate which he owned.
The defendants in the suit are William H. Thompson of Philadelphia, Pa., and Miss Mayne Thompson of New York City, brother and sister of Dr. Thompson, and Mrs. Violet Ardley Thompson, 927 R street, northwest, whom Dr. Thompson married after he had obtained a divorce from his first wife in Reno, Nevada. J. Louis Taylor, executor of the estate of Dr. Thompson, is also named as one of the defendants.
The first Mrs. Thompson in her petition for dower rights outlines the climb of Dr. Thompson from poverty and obscurity with her aid and assistance to wealth and prominence, his mistreatment of her, and finally his efforts to get rid of her.
She and Dr. Thompson were married in the District of Columbia on October 7, 1901. In the early days of their married life, she states, she materially assisted Dr. Thompson, contributing from her earnings to the cost and expense of his education and support. After their marriage he became a licensed physician, practicing in the District of Columbia. By (Continued on page 2).
MAN LEAPS OUT WINDOW FROM FREEDMEN'S
MAN LEAPS OUT WINDOW FROM FREEDMEN'S
Lawrence Gant, 42, a patient at Freedmen's Hospital, sustained a broken leg when early last Tuesday morning he jumped from a window of Ward Four to the ground below, in what staff physicians believe to have been a fit of insanity. Brought to the hospital ten days ago from Charlotte Hall, Md., where he had suffered an injury to his back when a tree which he was cutting fell on him, Gant was said to have been convalescing encouragingly until Monday. On Monday he showed signs of insanity which gradually increased until he became violent. He was restrained and strapped to his bed Monday night. These bonds, however, were broken and Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock he leaped from a window of his ward. Upon being asked if the first injury could have had any influence on Gant's mental derangement, staff officials stated that the blow was only in the back and could have no effect on the mind. Nerve specialists have been assigned and an attempt is being made to diagnose Gant's ailment.
BENEFIT SALE FOR SCHOOLS
The Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial Club will hold a sale of fancy and useful handmade articles, Friday, December 2, beginning at 5 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Elsie Bethel, 1438 Q street, northwest.

CLINTON T. FLANNAGAN IS SENTENCED TO 4 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON
CLINTON T. FLANNAGAN IS SENTENCED TO 4 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON
Clinton T. Flannagan, an impostor, who posed as a real estate operator and gained entree into the smarter set, must spend four years in prison for obtaining loans on real estate which did not belong to him.
Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in criminal court No. 1, last Friday, sentenced Flannagan to serve two years in the Federal penitentiary on each of two charges of forgery and uttering. The sentences are to run consecutively.
In sentencing Flannagan, Chief Justice McCoy took into consideration his plea of guilty to the two charges. When he was arraigned, Flannagan entered a plea of not guilty. On November 12, Flannagan withdrew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to the two indictments against him.
Flannagan was regarded as the "brains" of a plot which had for its purpose the obtaining of loans on real estate without the knowledge or consent of the owners.
With Albert Thomas Edwards and Lucy A. Taylor, Flannagan engineered a deal and obtained a loan on property belonging to Violet M. B. Warfield, the wife of Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, at No. 1901 Eleventh street, northwest.
The name of Mrs. Warfield was forged to a deed of trust, five promissory notes and a check. The promissory notes were for $1,000 each. They were secured by the forged deed of trust on Mrs. Warfield's property. The transaction was put through a local real estate office and Flannagan received a check in settlement for $1,114.92 payable to the order of Mrs. Warfield. The Taylor woman was used as a dupe. She impersonated Mrs. Warfield. Edwards with the Taylor woman presented the check at a bank for payment on March 24
CHARLESTON, S. C., Nov. 30. Seven new school buildings, providing seats for a thousand colored children, are now in process of erection in Charleston County, according to H. H. McCarley, the county superintendent of education. Lincoln School, McClellanville, the largest of the seven, has been completed and will soon be occupied. This is a four-room modern structure, costing $4400, of which $3000 was supplied by the colored people of the district. The latter gave also the land on which the building was erected. The other buildings will be erected through the same sort of cooperation between the county, the community, and the Rosenwald Fund.
last. The forgery was discovered and Edwards and the woman were arrested. Flannagan learning of their arrest fled from the city. He was later arrested in New York City and returned here.
The Wunder Case
The other case, for which he drew a two-year sentence, was similar to the first. Flannagan with the Taylor woman and Arthur White forged the endorsement of Mrs. Wilhelmina Wunder on a check from the title company drawn in her favor for the sum of $1,547.82 in settlement of a loan of $6,000 which he had obtained upon her property at No. 1322 U street, northwest, without her knowledge.
Thet name of Mrs. Wunder was also forged to a deed of trust and six promissory notes of $1,000 each. The forged deed of trust secured payment of the forged promissory notes. Flannagan put this transaction through a local real estate office on January 13 and had a settlement with the title company. It was when he sought to repeat that the forgeries were detected.
Flannagan had his real estate office and an apartment at No. 143 D street, northeast. His business was more or less of a mystery. Among the smarter set he was known as a real estate operator. Among bootleggers, he was known as a purchaser of liquor in wholesale quantities. He also had the reputation of being a "hi-jacker." He would order a large quantity of whiskey and after its delivery he would refuse payment. In society he gained notoriety for his cruelty to his lady friends. Just before he had to make his getaway, he dragged a well known matron out of a party by her hair. He will likely be sent to the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., or Leavenworth, Kans., with the next batch of District prisoners.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Nov. 26.—Dr. William H. Sheppard, who exposed the cruelties in the Belgian Congo, and who was tried and acquitted before the Belgian court at Leopoldsville, Belgian Congo a number of years ago, died November 25, in Louisville, Ky. Dr. Sheppard was born in Waynesboro, Va., in 1865, the son of William Sheppard. As a Hampton student in the early eighties he decided to take up missionary work under General S. C. Armstrong, and many school generations of Hampton students delighted to hear Dr. Sheppard tell in his dramatic style of his African experiences. He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society of England.

BACK PAY SUIT
The District of Columbia last Friday consented to a judgment against it for $1,843.93 in favor of Mrs. Mary C. Cottrell, a teacher in the District public schools, who filed suit for salary from the date that she became eligible to reinstature and promotion to the date that she was actually reinstated and promoted.
Mrs. Cottrell was granted maternity leave by the Board of Education on August 1, 1924. She became eligible for appointment as a teacher of domestic art in the senior high schools on February 24, 1924. She became eligible for reinstature from maternity leave on September 11, 1925.
There were two positions in the Armstrong Technical High School, which were being filled at the time by persons who were not qualified. The Board of Education refused to declare the positions vacant and appoint her to one of them. She went into court and obtained an order commanding the Board of Education to remove the two teachers and appoint her to one of the vacancies. She was reinstated and promoted September 15, 1926.
The judgment is for salary from September 11, 1925, to June 30, 1926.

RED CROSS AIDS T'RNADO VICTIMS WHITE & BLACK
The local chapter of the Red Cross Society is doing valiant work in giving relief to the numerous victims of the tornado which recently visited Washington. An inquiry into the method being used by the relief workers for the administration of aid disclosed that the society is making no discrimination whatever in the giving of succor to needy families. A person whose home has been destroyed applies to the Red Cross for aid and if he is found to be in need of such help it is readily given.
Among the many families left homeless by the tornado damage, is a number of Negroes who resided in the group of houses on Bennings road, northeast, which group was so completely demolished as to render further habitation impossible. A direct investigation by a Tribune reporter revealed that financial assistance has been dealt in every case.
financial assistance has been given in every case where asked. Through a committee composed of Mrs. Margaret Key Kelson, Miss Cora B. Mason, Mrs. Carrie Hackley, Mrs. Martha Robinson, Mrs. Emma Martin, Mrs. Jennie Brown Lee, Mrs. Francis Nelson, Mrs. Epps, Mrs. Bertha B. King, and others, over $150 was raised for the Red Cross. This money was raised from clergymen, churches and theatres. It was stated that due acknowledgement will be made for all funds received. The drive, however, is continuing as considerable money is still needed according to local headquarters to relieve the unfortunate ones.
RAND'LLTEACHER SUES FOR $2288
RAND'LLTEACHER SUES FOR $2288
Through her Attorney J. Franklin Wilson, Mrs. Sue V. Stewart, a teacher in the Randall Junior High School, residing at 215 S street, northwest, filed suit for the sum of $2,288.55 against the Merchant's Transfer and Storage Co., Inc., last Wednesday.
A trunk containing many valuables, which Mrs. Stewart claims was to be delivered to her home from the Union Station on January 2, 1927, was never delivered. According to the declarations, Mrs. Stewart returned to the city from an extensive tour on the morning of January 2, and turned her baggage check over to the Transfer Company for the delivery of her trunk. She paid for this delivery, she avers, but she has never received the trunk.
A long list of articles numbering well over a half hundred items is presented in the suit as the things Mrs. Stewart has lost. Among them is a silver cloth evening dress valued at $125, a fur jacquet valued at $100, a black chiffon dress valued at $80, a gray mixture coat valued at $75 and more than a dozen dresses ranging in value from $20 to $50. The list also included a number of baby things valued at $100 in all.
Mrs. Stewart asserts that the loss of the property is to the extent of $1,288.55. She is suing to recover this amount, and also $1,000 damages for the inconvenience and humiliation the loss of the trunk has caused her to suffer.

By Louis R. Lautfer
The Seventieth Congress, which will convene next Monday promises almost endless debate concerning the Negro but little or no results in legislative matters of peculiar interest to him. Politics will dominate the session. Republicans and Democrats, and rival factions within the two major parties, will jockey for position on every measure that comes before the Congress. Every question, from the moment the Congress convenes until its adjournment a few days in advance of the meeting of the Republican national convention in June, will be considered from the aspect of its effect upon the presidential election. Tax reduction will probably be the first problem to come before the Congress. On this question there is a vast difference of opinion in both parties on the amount and method of tax reduction. Flood relief legislation is almost a certainty. The political destinies of nearly every presidential candidate will revolve around farm relief legislation.
The fight over the seating of Senators-elect Frank L. Smith of Illinois and William S. Vare of Pennsylvania, both Republicans, will produce plenty of argument on disfranchisement. The Smith-Vare fight will be launched when these two Senators-elect are called to the dais by Vice President Charles G. Dawes to take the oath of office. Objection will be raised to their being given the oath of office.

WIFE OF BISHOP HIGGS IS FOUND DEAD BY SON
WIFE OF BISHOP HIGGS IS FOUND DEAD BY SON
Mrs. Mamie L. Higgs, wife of Bishop J. J. Higgs, 1642 Sixth street, northwest, was found dead in her bedroom by her son, Walter, 17-year-old student of Dunhair High School, last Saturday evening.
According to the boy's story he had been in the house for over an hour before, entering his mother's room on the second floor, where he found her dead.
He found his mother sitting on the side of her bed with her head bent over to the knees and her arms hanging limply at her sides.
Of the opinion that she had fallen asleep, the lad took his mother by the shoulders and raised her body. Walter then discovered that she was dead. Upon his arrival, the family physician declared, Mrs. Higgs had died of heart trouble about an hour before.
Born in Georgia
Mrs. Higgs was born in La Grande, Ga., November 24, 1890. She was educated in the public schools of Atlanta, and was a graduate of Morehouse College. She has been a resident of Washington for the past 12 years and was a faithful and devout member of the Christian church, now located on Twelfth street between S and T streets, northwest.
She is survived by her husband, Bishop J. J. Higga; one son, Walter Higgs; and three sisters, Mrs. Maggie L. Freeman, of Atlanta, Ga., Mrs. Susie Thomas, of Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. Daisy McFaullen, of Atlanta, Ga.
Funeral services were held yesterday at 1 o'clock from the Christian Church. Rev. H. D. Griffins and Bishop I. P. Brooks delivered the eulogies.

THE LITERARY BAROMETER
The matter of writing is occupying much of the attention of a considerable element of our people, sciously; better that it be not connection, some form of literary composition.
It is just and natural that literary composition be given much attention. One need not be ambitious to write for public consumption in order to be interested in this question. The writer of an occasional letter to friend, acquaintance, husband, wife, or other relations and loved ones, employs a form of expression, and is engaged in the serious task of composition. May be not consciously, for the conscious, the stilted and the artificial have no permanent place in literature.
We are particularly interested at this time in what Negro writers are doing. That there is in New York a group of Negroes which is producing written compositions of various forms, some of which find place in some of the leading magazines, has served to stimulate a certain sort of interest in what some people are pleased to call "Negro literature."
A matter of far greater importance, so far as popular education and popular taste are concerned, is the quality of the written compositions which fill the columns of our race journals. A few hundred of his ethnic group will read the Negro author's book, or magazine article, but, in all probability, each week, one and one-half millions of Negroes get some literary provender from newspapers owned and controlled by members of their own race.
It is from this point of view that the literary quality, to say nothing of the subject matter, of the written compositions that appear each week in the papers of the race, becomes a matter of vital import.
In the November issue of "The Scroll," a student paper published during the school year by the students of Atlanta University, there is an editorial entitled "Poor Journalism Among Negro Students." The sentence which gives the spirit of the editorial is this: "If there is any great amount of literary talent in our colleges, it is surely hidden and insignificant."
Our people have acquired so generally the habit of speaking of their respectable attainments in the superlative degree, that they instinctively become offended at any judgment on these achievements which is not loaded with praise. Under the guise of what goes by the name of "encouragement," many false standards are being erected, and many falsehoods are gaining a foothold in the mental texture of the race.
The safe position in these as in other matters is probably in the middle. To paraphrase the language of Shakespeare, in matters of this kind, good advice would be:
Neither an optimist nor a pessimist be.
PROSPERITY
Whatever may be the issues of the presidential election of next year, the battle cry is sure to be "Prosperity." All indications point

ir that direction. The term appeals to the adolescent understanding. It also appeals to the carnal, animal instincts of the human species. It is much easier to appeal to human instincts, than to human understanding for the all-sufficient reason that people generally are better provided with instincts than with understanding. As a matter of fact all people have instincts, while very few have understanding.
The instincts act without any specially willful or intellectual effort, while understanding requires the co-operation of will and intellect.
President Coolidge, in his Union League speech in Philadelphia, placed great stress upon the prosperity of the country, and asserted that prosperity was here to stay, and that it was no accident, but the result of careful planning and efficient administration. He did not give any definition of prosperity, but everybody understood that he meant generous returns for investments, little unemployment for labor, little hunger and distress among the masses, and a general feeling of contentment and confidence everywhere.
That idea of prosperity will go far and meet with general acceptance, and, in all probability, win the next presidential election for the party in power.
Party leaders profess to appeal to the intelligence of the electorate, while as a matter of fact, they know that they are appealing to its stomach. Give man a "full dinner pail" (and it little matters what the pail is full of, so that it appeases hunger) and all will be well.
After the President has spoken, along comes Professor Irving Fisher, professor of Economics at Yale University, and says that "while there is cause for national thanksgiving, the best available statistics show that the American people are not yet prosperous in any absolute sense." Further he says: "In fact four-fifths of them, or more than 90,000,000, seem to be making only a little over their expenses. They can lay up little, if anything, for a 'rainy day.'"
Here are two notions of prosperity. A man has a job; he earns enough by frugal living and careful planning to keep soul and body on speaking terms; he does not have to beg and he is averse to stealing; he pays as he goes, but he does not go far. That is one notion. Professor Fisher's notion provides a slightly more generous domestic budget; provision is also mode for vacation and amusements, and the saving for a reality day. We confess a preference for Professor Fisher's notion of prosperity. In saying this, no account is taken of the spendthrift and those who have no thought for the future. For such persons there is no economic salvation.
INJUSTICE IN ALABAMA
One of the numerous cases of whippings in Crenshaw County, Alabama, has had an airing in a court house before a tribunal legally designated a court, and having imposed upon it the legal functions of a court. The newspaper accounts of the
airing (trial does not accurately describe what occurred) were lacking in fulness and detail; but enough reached that part of the public not present at the so-called trial to justify the conclusion that race prejudice was the controlling factor.
The whipper on trial was acquitted. The person who was the victim of the whipping was a colored woman. The identification of the whipper was complete. In addition, there was the confession of the whipper, which, however, he sought to repudiate, upon the contention that he was coerced into making it.
After the acquittal of the whipper, the attorney general of Alabama announced that the next case to be tried would be one in which the victim was a white woman, and it was believed that a different result would be recahed.
This statement of the attorney general is valuable, in that it gives official stamp to what has generally been believed to be the state of justice in Alabama; that is, there is no justice for a colored person where the issue is between a colored and a white person.
And yet, Alabama boasts that it is both Christian and civilized. Christianity and civilization are at a low ebb when conditions such as these exist. Alabama is a part of the United States, and the standards existing there are examples of American civilization.
AFTER WARTIMES
By T. Thomas Fortune
TIMOTHY COMES TO WASH-INGTON
It is always a difficult and disagreeable business to have to start all over again in a strange place after you have succeeded in the old place among those you have always known. It is best to put up with a lot of hardship in the old place and among those you have always known than to move away and have to build a new foundation in acquaintances and friendships and the opportunities that make for the necessary "crust of bread and a place of sleep."
Emanuel Fortune found it to be so in moving from West to East Florida. He had but little money and the opposition of the ruling Republican machine and the Democratic people to contend with. Jacksonville had no municipal government at that time and old General Edward Hopkins and other Democratic veterans and dependable citizens soon came to like the new man from the West country. They gave him encouragement and all the credit he needed to make ends meet, and he managed in his way to keep in close touch with his obligations, with the assistance of Timothy, who was adding a dollar to the family capital all of the time. Indeed, Timothy was for some time the main break-winner of the family and took great pride in so being. He made good money all of the time and handed over most of it to the head of the house.
A charter had been secured and a city election was to be held. Emanuel Fortune, who had great respect and admiration for General Hopkins, prevailed upon the grand old Confederate to be the independent candidate for mayor. Mr. Fortune had an independent convention held and the General was nominated for mayor, and Mr. Forture for city marshall, with a common council body. The Afro-Americans voted solidly for the independent candidates, while many of the white voted for the ticket because they had confidence in General Hopkins, a gentleman of the old school, long and gaunt and strong in the characteristics that make for leadership.
The city government was organized along liberal and tolerant lines, with a development in the police and fire and other departments in which the Afro-Americans were equally represented with the whites. It made a very strong city government, which lasted two years, and was not overthrown for several years, and then only by taking away the city charter and substituting the commission

government system, with appointments to be made by the Governor of the administrative officers. This was done to get rid of the Negro in control of the affairs of the city.
But the Negro himself helped to destroy the independent party of his co-equal share in the conduct of municipal affairs by drawing the Republican party line and working hand in glove with such carpet-baggers as objected to the leadership of Mr. Fortune, aided and abetted by Rev. John R. Scott, Rev. Joseph E. Lee, Rev W. W. Sampson and others, who created a condition of confusion and rowdiness in election campaigns which disgusted good citizens with the Republican party and its riotous ways.
Rev. Joseph E. Lee did the Negro of Jacksonville and Florida more injury than any other man. He was a graduate of the Institute for Colored Youth at Philadelphia and of the law department of Howard University. He was the most selfish and greedy Negro I ever knew. At one time he was a lawyer in practice, a justice of the peace, secretary of the Republican State convention, chairman of the county committee, Presiding Elder of the Jacksonville district, and pastor of Great Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. He went into the Internal Revenue office as a clerk the first week he was in Jacksonville, and he ruled Florida Republican party politics for his own advantage until the time of his mysterious death in his office a few years ago.
Mr. Lee's method was to control the Negro and to so work with the white Republican leaders as to secure for himself the best Federal position in the State, regardless of the interests of others, so that when he died the Negro in Florida had been frozen out of the public service, with the exception of himself.
He destroyed all of the good and honorable opportunities for public service which Mr. Forks had made possible for the Negro in the State. He was the first Negro, as I remember it, who ever drew the color line, arraying blacks against the other race colors, to carry this point in a Negro convention. So if he got what he wanted others of the race could go hang, as the saving is
He was so thrifty that it was said he had soaked away the first dollar he made in Florida, and was so stingy that he bought a home a few yards outside the city limits in order to escape paying city taxes. He was a carousel man and thrifty, but it would have been well for the Negro of Florida to Joseph E. Lee had remained in his Philadelphia home instead of carpeting-hanging it in Florida.
One day, Timothy got a message from Congressman Purman requesting him to resign from the position of mail route agent and to report to him at Washington as he had a better job for him. The spoils system was the rule in those days. Everything went by favor of the Senator and member of Congress. Major Purman wanted to reward an old friend and party worker, and Timothy was asked to step up higher. "The new man was too old and too illiterate to do the work, and did not remain long in the service, but he had his reward." Timothy liked the mail service and regretted to leave it, but he had high hopes of getting a college education, and it was with that thought uppermost that he prepared to leave for the capital of the nation.
He left Jacksonville with very little money amid what came reardeveloping into a dangerous visit.Conductor Livingstone refused toallow him to enter the first closecoach, and the hundred of Negrodraymen at the station threatenedto do the conductor up.

KIDDIES' CORNER
At this season of the year when the leaves are disappearing so rapidly, wet should call to mind the fact that the leaf is the most important of all living things. All the food that we eat depends primarily upon green leaves. Do we not eat leaves, such as celery and lettuce, raw in salads as well as cooked? Apples, pears, peaches and bananas are all modifications of leaves in some form or other. Most of our butter and milk come from animals that feed on leaves. The animals that we use for food thrive on leaves either directly or indirectly. In fact, most of the foods begin with a leaf and end with a fruit or vegetable.
The leaf products eaten by man produce a certain amount of heat as nourishment. Burned in the fire they produce heat and light. This makes us realize that our wood, coal, gas and electricity, which heat and light our buildings depend eventually upon green leaves. All the wood and coal in the world was formerly inside of green leaves; and the heat and light in our homes is the sunlight of previous ages captured by green leaves and stored in our coal mines. These facts tend to establish the leaf's importance as fuel. When Adam and Eve made for themselves clothing of fig leaves, they began the career of leaves as clothing.
Perhaps one will say, "People don't wear clothes made of leaves now." Are not ladies' silk dresses made from a worm which feeds on leaves? Even our frame dwellings are a product of leaves. The trees from which we produce our timber are nothing but developed leaves, because all tree trunks start with leafy buds. Therefore we may say that leaves provide much of the necessities of life food, shelter and clothing. A study of the leaf proves very beneficial.
THERE'S FOOM AT THE TOP
And hard work it may be to climb,
But the way grows smooth towards the top,
And its only one step at a time.
Be sure you are honestly shod, Tribunites,
Take the staff of self-help in your hand,
Watch out for the rough, rocky tread, Tribunites,
And trust not to gravel, or sand.
Look not far up into the clouds, Tribunites,
Nor yet on the valley below,
But stand factly, patiently, climb, Tribunites,
Each step of the way learn to know.
Respect well the right of the road, Tribunites.
Let others more swift pass you by.
And fail not to hold out a hand.

To all those who stumble and sigh.
There's plenty of room at the top,
Tribunites.
Though crowded the pathway,
and long.
And no one need fall in the end.

tired of his mate and began to
treat her cruelly. On July~26,
1916, the™first ‘Mrs. Thompson
filed ‘suit against him’ in the Dis-
trict Supreme Court for separate
maintenance. The case was tried
in May, 1920. Shes was granted
the sum of $65.2 month, which
Dr. Thompson paid until Novem-
ber, 1920.
Dr. Thompson made overtures
to her for a reconciliation, the
first Mrs, Thompson declares,
promising that he would give her
no further cause :for complaint,
that he would not repeat his cruel
treatment of her but would pro-
vide a suitable home for her to
live with him, |
Promised to do Better
She believed he was sincere in
his protestations of affection and
his ‘promises to treat her kindly,
the first Mrs. ‘Thompson, says.
Desiring to resume marital, rela-
tions, she avers, she entered into
an agreement with him to waive
the ‘alimony allowed -her by the
court. As an evidence of good
faith he conveyed to her property
at No. 1806 Eleventh street,
northwest,
This agreement provided that
in the event he should fail to sup-
port and maintain her properly, or
should she be forced to leave him
by reason of his misconduct, or if
he should abandon her, she would
have the right to apply to ap
courts for maintenance and. su
port.
Mrs. Elizabeth ‘Thompson al-
leges that Dr. Thompson was not
sincere in his representations. His
‘sole purpose, she states was to’
trick her-and try to escape the ef-
fect of the decree of the court
passed in her favor,
' Abuses Her
After the dismissal of her suit,
she says, she went to his house to
yesume marital relations. He up-
braided her for the charges she
had made in her bill ‘of complaint,
ste declares; abd aed violent and
abusive languhge to her. | Ho re-
fused to allow her to share his

from there to the Catskill. moun-
tains to avoid service. He re-
turned to New York City later,
she, says, and went from there to
Reno, Nevada, arriving in Reno
on June 14, 1921.

Dr. Rosanna Beatrice Rylander Humble,
Sleep the sleep that knows no wake!
While we toil. and seek deserved honor
For your loved ones, motherlessly forsaken.
Dear wife, mother, and sister, scarcely has one day, since your passing.
Made its advent, and departure, without our cheeks
Becoming wet with tears, briny, and glittering—
The thoughts of you, not returning, your husband, and children, to cheer.
As long as earth and heaven shall stand,
Your children, to you so sweet and dear.
Shall have the care, and affection,
you deemed to be fair,
And, you, vividly, in our hearts,
and souls, shall forever endure.
Lovingly dedicated by O. L.

ELECTRO-THERAPY
Physiotherapy utilizes the forces of nature in the alleviation and cure of diseases.
Heat, cold, electricity, massage and sun light are examples of its agents.
It is recognized by the American Medical Association, and is practiced in all the leading hospitals in the United States and abroad.
Most cases get well quicker with its aid, and some chronic cases that failed to improve under the usual medical treatment responded when Physiotherapy was added.
In administrating Electrotherapy I use the therapeutic light, the infra-red ray, the ultra-violet ray, the high frequency current and the sinusoidal currents.
These have their own particular and definite effects on the tissues, and should be used only by those fully acquainted with their indications and contraindications.
I am equipped to render these forms of Electrotherapy scientifically.
CONSULT ME IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC CASES.
NO interference with medical or surgical treatments.

Constipation Often Causes Sickness
"About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine."

NEGRO TO BE BIG QUESTION WHEN CONGR'SS MEETS
(Continued from page 1) Smith and Vare will charge those opposing them with inconsistency. Disfranchisement of the Negro in the South by the Democrats will be offered as evidence to show that those who would keep Smith and Vare from taking their seats in the Senate are just as guilty of corruption and fraud in elections as those who expend large sums of money to win seats in the Senate.
There will be a heated discussion over the question of whether the primary is a part of the general election. If it is, those Senators who favor seating Smith and Vare will contend that the Congress has a right to regulate it according to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. If it is not a part of the general election, these same Senators will concede, the Democrats may bar Negroes from their party primaries and the Congress has no right to reject Senators-elect Smith and Vare.
An antilynching bill will likely be reintroduced but will fail to get a favorable report from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Howard University
Senator James Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, may reintroduce his bill to authorize annual appropriations for Howard University. For some forty-seven years Congress has been appropriating money for the maintenance of the school. These appropriations are not authorized by law. Almost yearly the appropriations for Howard University in the Interior Department appropriations bill have been stricken out in the House on points of order. The Senate generally restores these items. The bill of Senator Couzens would amend the act incorporating Howard University so that a point of order may not be made against its appropria-
THE MT. AIRY BAPTIST
CHURCH
There were over one hundred scholars present at Mt. Alry Sunday school last Sunday. Rev. Jordan of the Foreign Mission Board, and Rev. Wright, a young African native, were visitors. Rev. Wright is here to receive religious education after which he will return to his native country to train his own people.
Rev. A. J. Tyler, the pastor, preached the sermon at 11 o'clock, and many conversions were made at this service.
The Young People's Union was largely attended, and is growing rapidly under Mrs. Fair's leadership. Mrs. Davis has willingly given her services to help build up the union while here in this city.
At the night service the pastor preached the twentieth anniversary sermon of Brilliant Star Court, No. 10. The church was crowded. The male chorus of the church sang several selections. The collection for the day amounted to $434.44.
The first Sunday is communion Sunday. On Sunday night, the male chorus will render a musical program.
The top has been placed on the new church building.
MINISTERS' ALLIANCE ELECTS OFFICERS
The Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Washington and Vicinity, at its meeting last Monday, was addressed by Rev. D. E. Wiseman. He spoke of his recent trip to the Virgin Islands.
At the election of officers, held after the address, the following officers of the Alliance were named: Rev J. C. Olden, president; Rev H. B. T. Hary, vice-president; Rev R. A. Fairley, re-elected secretary; Rev C. B. C. Williams, assistant secretary; and Rev D. E. Wiseman was re-elected treasurer.
The speakers for the ensuing meetings are, in order, Rev J. M. Waldron, Dr. C. H. Wesley and Dr. E. E. Just.
WOMAN PREACHER TO SPEAK
Rev. Mrs. Helen A. Davis, formerly of Davis Mission, Myrtle street, northeast, will speak at 1307 D street, northwest, next Wednesday evening, November 20, and next Thursday evening, December 1, at 1214 L street, northwest, at 8 o'clock.
LEAGUE SPEAKER AT NINE
TEENTH STREET CHURCH
At the eight o'clock service Sunday evening, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, the Rev. J. F. Hartman, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Wisconsin, will be the principal speaker at a platform meeting. Rev. Hartman is in Washington in attendance at the meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of America in the Mayflower Hotel. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the church, has been identified with the temperance and Anti-Saloon forces since their beginning in this city. He is a member of the executive council.
At the eleven o'clock service, Dr. Brooks' subject will be "The Wages of Sin." The Lord's supper will be observed immediately following the morning service.
Sunday school, at 9:30 a.m. will take the form of a consecration meeting. The Christian Endeavor Society will meet Tuesday at eight o'clock. The church will conduct prayer service Thursday at eight o'clock.

Haiti Issue
Immediately after the close of the last session of Congress, Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, visited Santo Domingo. He intended to visit Haiti but was notified by President Borno that he could not enter the Haitian Republic. A delegation of Haitians visited him in Santo Domingo. At the first opportunity Senator King will likely demand in the Senate an investigation of American rule in Haiti and a withdrawal of the American marines stationed there. He will probably charge the State Department with responsibility for his exclusion from Haiti. He regards President Borno as merely a puppet and believes that the order to keep him out of Haiti came from the American government. An act to provide a permanent government for the Virgin Islands will also be reintroduced. This measure will get a favorable report from both the Senate and House Committees on Insular Affairs. The Virgin Islands were purchased in 1917 from Denmark for $25,000,000. Congress at that time continued the old Danish laws in force. These give the Virgin Islands very little control of their local affairs.
Shortly after the passage of the act for temporary government of insular possessions, Congress has passed an act providing for the permanent government. It was done in the case of Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Philippines, but in the case of the Virgin Islands it has not been done.
President Coolidge in his annual message will outline to the Congress the legislative program which he desires it to consider. In it he will probably include a plea for the extension of equal opportunity and equal protection under the law to all elements, especially the colored people, and will urge the eradication of lynching. He will also likely favor the education of the colored race under Government encouragement and remind the Nation of the existing need for properly educated and trained medical skill to be devoted to the service of the race.

Positively Relieves Pain
Sufferers from the sharp, knifelike pains, the dull, throbbing, continuous aches which accompany kidney troubles and liver affections, can find relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It will bring almost immediate relief from the terrible suffering, and will not interfere with, but will positively assist any other treatment which your physician has prescribed.
Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster is not to be considered as a remedy in any sense for these organic derangements—your physician must be consulted and his treatment taken for remedying the underlying causes.
The plaster warms and soothes, and its medication at once begins to be absorbed through the skin directly to the affected parts. Its beneficial results continue as long as the plaster remains on the body. Be sure to ask for the Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All druggists.

The Talk of Town Su
WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4
Subject: "Isaiah teaches right living."
Scripture Basis: Isa. 5:1-12.
Golden Text: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this. To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27.
The Thought of the Lesson
Our lesson is a continued study of the moral, political, social and religious conditions of Judah. In its doleful prediction is food for national thought and prayerful consideration. If Judah, God's elect people, became the object of such doleful predictions as are contained in our lesson, then no nation or people of any age may expect to escape when found guilty of the same unrighteousness of life as that of which Judah was guilty.
In this lesson Judah is pictured as Jehovah's unprofitable vineyard, Judah, like a vine, had been plucked out of Egypt and transplanted on a highly favored hill by the Lord. The heathen, like obstructing stone, had been thrown out of the vineyard. Omnipoint strength and prophetic eyes had protected and watched over this transplanted vine. It had been well cultivated, fertilized and favored. Yet this high valued vine had brought forth only wild grapes. Thus Judah stood condemned for not justifying the tender care of her divine husband.
Judah's malefic fruit-bearing brought forth Isaiah's predictions of divine withdrawal. The hedge of divine protection is to be broken down and divine favor in general wi brrawn. Through these doleful predictions Isaiah teaches the necessity of living an exemplary life of helpfulness, brotherly love and righteousness through the strength of grace. To fail thus to live is to bring forth evil fruit or no fruit at all. To be guilty of either is to lay one's self open to divine withdrawal—and this means disaster to any nation, race, group or individual.

WASHINGTON CHURCHES
HISTORICAL, SKETCH OF THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
The Second Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., was founded on November 10, 1848. After being temporarily located in several places in the city, it finally found a permanent home on Third Street between H and I streets, northwest, some time during the period of 1856-1861.
There have been erected on this site three houses of worship. First a frame building; then a "little red brick." The corner-stone of the present building was laid in 1894. The entire building was ready for occupancy ten years later.
The following is a list of pastors of the church from its beginning until the present time:
Rev. Jermieiah Asher, 1849-1851; Rev. H. H. Builer, 1851; Rev. Gussaviu; Brown, 1852-1855; Rev. Sandy Alexander, 1856-1861; Caleb Woodyard, 1861-1864; the church had three pastors, the Revs. Chauney Leonard, John Maze and John Gains in 1864-1871; Rev. Madison Gaskins was pastor 1871-1883; Rev. William Bishop Johnson, D.D., LL.D., 1883-1916, and Rev. J. L. S. Holoman who has been pastor since 1917.
Many churches have grown out of Second Baptist; Church, among them are Mount Olive, Rehoboth, Mount Carmel and St. Paul Baptist Church, Bladenburg, Md. It recently fostered the organization and development of the First Baptist Church, Takoma Park, Md.
Through the years this church has been closely identified with all phases of Kingdom building—at home and abroad. It has given freely to carry forward the standard of Christian service.
Since 1917 this church has cleared its bonded debt of more than $26,000. It raised and paid for improvements to the amount of more than $17,000. In the future the church will seek to build a modest endowment fund to the end that it may render a larger service to humanity.

THANKSGIVING AND THANKSLIVING
By Rev. W. H. Jernagin
Text: In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.—1 Thess. 5:18.
Thanksgiving Day again has come and gone in its allotted round; and we brought our offering of thankful praise and prayer to the Giver of all good. We link our thoughts on this occasion with the great program and procession of kindly nature, bringing her flowers and fruitage in their season, and link them with our adoration to Him who crownest the year with His goodness.
Even today, clouds and darkness, disorder and misery are widespread in the world. But amid the darkness is the gleam of hope. With eternal promise passing through the ages and typified in the r_iimb of hope, God is bringing the world to truth and service.
The great things are in the hands of God; and His hands they will remain until man grows to the stature of God. We have to accept the fact that there is evil in the world just as there is sin in men. Yet we can see that it is through this very evil that God trains us. If food came without labour, man would be idle; if he did not work, he would never prosper. Man has become what he is by fighting the evil in the world. Our civilization, as it were, is born in pain. Without labor and sorrow we should not, we could not rise. Our constant struggle to live has made us what we are. It has brought us from sayagery—it has led to increase of knowledge.
Thanksgiving calls the people of the United States in an especial manner to the recognition of the goodness of God. It puts a spiritual note into the life of a people, and if it is observed in a real, instead of a formal manner, its influence can scarcely be measured. Let us note some of the qualities of a true Thanksgiving.
It is the acknowledgement of the presence and goodness of God in the pursuits and possessions of life. It gladly owns that the will of God is the ultimate secret of true government and His goodness is the spring of all genuine happiness. It makes the difference between faith and atheism in the heart of a people, and inspires unselfish righteousness instead of pagan self indulgence.
It calls us to the confession of our sins, and leads to the unspeakable peace of God's fathomless forgiveness.
It tends to deliver the possession of the worldly goods from gross selfishness and to beautify the soul with the fine sentiment of stewardship.
It teaches us that our daily bread is a miracle and that fire, food, shelter, bank and market are sacred because they are red and

white with the mercy of divine favor.
It makes love and friendship sacramental, home and church the gate of heaven, and school and country the impregnable backgrounds of power and service.
It softens hard hearts and puts the beauty of human kindness into the thoughts of people about one another.
But the secret of true Thanksgiving is discovered in thanksliving. The thankful heart alone can enter into the secret of thankfulness. And human hearts cannot obtain that faculty through spasmodic gratitude.
Edwin Markham suggests the great values of life, and the sources of our thankfulness in his poem of Thanksgiving, wherein he writes of birds and clouds and beauty, for the strengthening hills, the treetops writing their messages of peace against the sky, for the light of morning, the message of immortality in the falling leaves.
Thanksliving will find its satisfaction as it recognizes God with gratitude constantly. Jesus healed the ten lepers, but one only returned with praise. Grateful hearts are the secret of thanksliving, embodied in the reality of our faith.
Thanksliving will find its promise in hope. Through the avenues of expectancy God not only reveals Himself, but leads us on to still higher goals.
Thanksliving cannot enter into the heart where love is not. The sublimity of a thankful spirit is only found in the heart where love reigns. For a thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. But after all, the message of Thanksgiving is found when into the home of our loved ones we may gather, so beautifully told by Phoebe Cary as she speaks to humanity.

THE SPORT REVIEW
Community Yellowjackets Inaugurate Basketball Here Bluefield Noses Out Seminary----Atlanta Plays Tuskegee
Sam's Scripts
Curtain—the 1927 Fashion Revue is over. The annual "Big Parade" of styles has joined the long list of historical events surrounding the yearly football classic, the Howard-Lincoln game. The spectacle—I have saved this word for just such use—lives only as a memory among the happenings of 1927.
We—like Lindy, I refer to my plane, I mean train and I—arrived in Philly Wednesday night. We knew on our arrival we were just in time, the show had started. The very first young lady we saw was carefully and neatly cloaked in a squirrel wrapping decorated by a large yellow carnation. The first time the writer saw her she wore an Orange and Blue football of Lincoln, but later when the writer ran across the same pretty miss—I recognized her by the flower—she was decorated with the Blue and White of the Bisons. Incidentally this second meeting took place after the game was over.
Leaving the station, I rushed down to the Douglass where I meant to obtain a room, which achievement was made possible only by my influential friend, Dr.W. Rollo Wilson, of the Pittsburgh Courier, who is also vice-president of the Eastern Sports Writers' Association. He recommended me at the desk and after having assured me that I should be taken care of took me by the paw and led me over to a large sette which was fully and capably occupied by one Mr. George Godfrey, fist slinger extraordinaire.
Following a formal introduction to the great gullist, I gave some sort of excuse—I can't remember just what it was—and went to my room for the purpose of getting dressed—the execution of which consisted merely of washing my face and donning a clean collar. I had no time for prize fighters. I had to get down to the more serious business of "looking-em-over."
I moved out of Lombard street into Broad and walked face to face into a broad—one whom I know slightly. Both from Washington, and in Philadelphia, on the same street, going in the same direction we thought we'd join the forces.
Between Lombard and Christian streets, a distance of about five blocks we encountered fur coats of all descriptions. Every hair bearing animal heard of had its outer covering advertised in the gay "promenade of Philadelphia's Seventh avenue. My friend, whose company I enjoyed mostly because she could identify each, pointed out fur wrappings of cat, mule, squirrel, racon, bear, cow, rabbit cat, dog, horse, jackal, jack-I mean donkey, wolf, bat, skunk-I had to stop her. Like Heinz there were 57 varieties. Of the 0, 20,000 people who witnessed the game about 7500 were female. Early Thursday morning when rain began to fall, 15,000 lips offered 7500 different kinds of prayers, all of them, however, carrying the same request. "Aw rain, rain go away, you'll get our coats wet if you stay."
There must have been some virtuous ones in the bunch. The rain went. A beautiful sun shone down on Shibe Park and the garments and all turned out in full sway. The annual parade, which takes place every Thanksgiving Day between the second and third quarters while the football warriors are resting, was a complete success. Everybody saw everybody else.
At the dance which was held at the Academy of Music, the place with the movable crystal floor—it had been moved or something because in its place was a cracked wooden floor which rose in several places to a half inch above its surface—I had another glimpse of furs. In spite of the warmth made by the presence of some 3500 persons, there were quite a few of the ladies who kept their wraps on—on display.
Early Friday morning, "we" returned home. Getting off the train, I heard a masculine voice call out, "Say, kid, how'd you enjoy your trip?" "Oh, I just had a most wonderful time," someone directly behind me replied. Turning I saw it was my friend of the yellow carnation. "Who won the game?" the owner of the first voice asked. "Who played"—her face wore a question look.
DUNBAR NITERS READY
The Dunbairn night school basketball squad, under Coach J. D. Williams, has been going through a strenuous preliminary program since November 1 and is ready for opposition.
This year's team expects to prove a thorn in the side of its copenants as all the regulars with the exception of Bill Lonesome have returned. The 1928 squad has been strengthened by the addition of several experienced play ers.
BLUEFIELD TEAM BARELY TOPPLES VA. SEMINARY
By H. Scott
ROANOKE, Va., Nov. 26 The undefeated Bluefield aggregation nosed out the Virginia Seminary eleven here today before 3,000 spectators in the last four seconds of play, 14-13.
Seminary scored in the first five minutes of play on a march of 56 yards by circling Bluefield ends on lateral passes and plunging the left side of its line. After an exchange of punts Bluefield started a drive headed by Wiggins and Graves that soon knotted the count.
Bluefield received the kick-off at the half and unable to gain was forced to kick. Punts were exchanged with Eddie Davis getting more yardage than Drew. A 25-yard penalty for clipping set Bluefield back and although Drew got off a good punt from under his goal, a long pass from Davis to Fowler and a clever bit of broken field running by the latter, again put Seminary in the van, 13-7, Davis' extra point try was low. The West Virginians had not lost their fight and opened another drive just as the third quarter ended that was stopped on the 7-yard line when a lateral pass was fumbled. Davis booted the oval for 45 yards and with less than 3 minutes to play Wiggins was given the ball three times and each effort netted over 10 yards, which placed the oval on Seminary's 14-yard line with 4 seconds to play.
A penalty for heeling was called on Jeffries of Seminary by Umpire Hamilton at this point and the ball was placed on Seminary's 1-yard line.
The final whistle was sounded as Wiggins hit off left tackle for a touchdown. He added the extra point by the same route.
Captain Gallion, Graves and Wiggins stood out gallantly for Bluefield while Davis, Watson, Moore, Fowler, Captain Walker and Tucker were best for Seminary. The game was poorly officiated with only one seasoned man, Dr. Coppage, and three apprentices.
Bluefield attempted only two passes both incomplete, but exhibited an off tackle play very similar to that of Howard's. Four former Washington High School products performed for Seminary—Davis, Fowler, Henderson, Undown.

TEAM WINS, ROOTERS LOSE
ROAMER GRIDDERS DEFEAT
NAPAPOLIS ELEVEN
SPECTATORS STAGE RIOT
ANNAPOLIS, MD.—The Roamer football team of Alexandra, Virginia, journeyed to this city last Sunday, November -27, and downed the heavy Capital City Club's eleven of that city, 7-6.
Harrington, speedy back for the losers and Scott, the eighteen-year-old-wonder guard of the Virginians, were possibly the outstanding players. Boyd Williams, Alexandria's flank man, and Clark, half-back, also played a brilliant game for the winners. Clark made a brilliant run of 30-yards, after receiving a pass from Scott, for the Roamer's touchdown. Scott added the extra point via the drop-kick. It was during the last quarter, with only two minutes to play, and the Virginians leading with 7-0, when, like the proverbial streak of lightning out of a clear sky, a free-for-all fight between the nearly five hundred Maryland fans, and a handful of Roamer followers began. Apparently no players (with the exception of two Capital City gridders) were in theracus. Sticks, bottles, canes and chains were used by the attacking Marylanders in their fierce attack
SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor
THREE ARMSTRONG STARS---ALL CAPTAINS
Left to right they are: "Windy" Wallace, stellar center and captain-elect; Wallace Thorne, backfield ace and captain-elect, and "Red" Dabney, star fullback and ex-captain.
The entire trio served the Orange and Blue in a star role the past season. They, no doubt, will be selected as members of the mythical eleven representing the Inter-State High School Conference.
BALTIMORE ELKS, WITH "SOUP" TURNER AND "SLIM" THOMAS, MAKE DEBUT HERE DEC. 12
BALTIMORE ELKS, WITH "SOUP" TURNER AND "SLIM" THOMAS, MAKE DEBUT HERE DEC. 12
On Monday night, December 12, Washington will witness the initial bow of "big time" basketball for the 1928 season. The Community Athletic Association will be the promoters of the game in which their Yellowjackets meet the Monumental Elk Big Five of Baltimore, Md. The Elk team presents the greatest collection of stars the writer has seen in many a year. Players from the Athenians, the Community Yellowjackets, the Alcoes, Howard University and Morgan College have been gathered together and placed in the purple and white uniforms of the Monumental Elks.
Backing up "Scrappy" Brown erstwhile captain and formerly of Ike Wright's Athenians is Herb Keller, the team's manager and also an ex-Athenian, and "Soup" Turner, perhaps the greatest floor player ever developed in Washington, who first gained fame as captain of the Armstrong Technical High School "Wonder Team of 1924. Turner has been extremely popular in this city throughout his lengthy court career. He has captained the Alcoes the past two years.
In the combination is "Slim" Thomas, the stellar Community Yellowjacket pivot man of 1925 and 1926, who is regarded as a most capable pocket edition of such centers as Seasums, Slocum and the late Gilmore, "Cutie" Brown, whose excellent work as running mate to "Rap' Wheatley helped make last season's Morgan College Bears the championship machine it was, and Tiny Brown, a youngster with a deceptive game that would do credit to "Chippy" Taylor of the old Greek combination.
The Yellowjackets have the same men, with the exception of Thomas, which defeated such combinations as the Arrows and Epiphany Roses (both white) last year, then closed the year by successfully trimming the Champion Alcoes in straight games of a series.
The Community Club declares it is going to introduce a new policy in local basketball this season. All games, in which their team participates, will begin promptly. Ladies, Community officials assert will be assured seats.

on the Virginians. Two Alexandrians were taken to the hospital. When practically all of the Roamer supporters had been dispersed, enough of the Virginian teammen were left to continue the game. Needless to say, the Capital lads then made a touchdown. The Roamer manager places none of the blame on the officials of the Capital City Club. They, as well as the game officials, were reported by the Alexandra mentor as being very fair. The Virginians won the football game, all right, 7-6, but lost the massacre 500 to 10.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1927
C. I. A. A. TO HOLD ITS 17TH ANNUAL CONFAB
The C. I. A. A. will hold its seventeenth annual meeting on December 9 and 10 at Union University, Richmond, Va. The association is composed of the following institutions: Union University, Shaw University, Lincoln University, Virginia State College, St. Paul, Virginia Seminary, A. and T. College of North Carolina, and Hampton Institute. Thomas F. Puryear, formerly from Virginia State College, but now with the Newark Branch of the Urban League is president of the association. The practice of making out schedules and selecting officials for the football season has proven so satisfactory in every way that it will be continued for football and adopted for other branches of competition. Some of the important questions to come before the association will be those of membership—increasing the number of schools in the association—and the question of students of high school grade participating on C. I. A. A. teams and the selection of officials for the season of 1928-1929. The association has just issued its fifteenth annual bulletin which contains pictures of association teams, articles on the different athletic subjects, complete records of the letter men and scores of all sports, along with the minutes of the sixteenth annual meeting.
EBENEZER "11" DEFEATS BEARS
Hapk Jones and his Ebenezer eleven put a bomb under the hopes of the Teddy Bear football team, when they handed the west end aggregation a 6-0 surprise victory on the gridiron, at Four-and-a-half street and Maine avenue last Sunday afternoon. A crowd of 800 enthusiasts saw the two teams battle through the first half to a 0-0 deadlock. In spite of the fact that the score was a draw the church lads were superior in every department and the second half found their toils rewarded by a touchdown. The Ebenezans completely smothered every attempt on the part of the Bears to advance the oval. Dorsey and Dodson, the Blue and White backfield aces were unable to stave off the season's first defeat.
PIRATES LOSE TO STONEWALLS
Coach Happy Deans' Washington Pirate aggregation was unable to cope with the strong Strawwall A. C. eleven in their game) at Sixth and K streets, south east last Sunday afternoon. The score was 12-0. The southeast clan displayed a beautiful running attack which netted them a pair of touchdowns and threw up a defense capable of holding a combination of Pirates which consisted of outstanding players from both high schools.
A. U. TO DEPEND ON "MEL" WHEDBEE,EX SEMINARIAN
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 2.—Wheedbee is the Atlanta University backfield star, who will shine in the football firmament when the Crimson hurricane tackles the Tuskegee Tigers in the premier gridiron contest of the season to be staged at Spillers Park today.
Wheedbee is a star who plays with his head as well as with his body and knows how to conduct himself in the open field so as to evade tacklers and at the same time giving all the assistance possible to his interference. In addition to the brilliant Wheedbee, Chief Aiken's scoring threat, Atlanta will have in the line-up Robinson, McPherson, Pierce, Jones, Ward and Simon, who are determined to turn back the Tigers from the Booker T. Washington school, located in Tuskegee, a little town situated in the Black Belt of Alabama.
Atlanta is functioning at its best and at this time appears to be invincible. The co-ordination with which the team works appears as a movement of one man and the fondest hopes of this machine is to displace Abbott's "Wonder Team" which has held the nation's spotlight since September, 1923.
To conquer the Tigers it is a known fact that Bailey, the plunging halfback; Smith, the smart quarterback; Stevenson, the keystone of the Tuskegee backfield, and recognized in colored football as the "bronze wizard of the gridiron"; and Steward and Wooten, must be reckoned with. The Crimson front wall, built by John Brown, is an element that stands in the way of the Hurricane's hopes.
J. C. SMITH DEFEATED BY LIVINGSTONE
SALISBURY, N. C., Nov. 24.—Before a holiday throng of approximately 2,500 people, the Livingstone Bears routed Smith University to the tune of 27 to 26 here today. Early in the game, the Bears piled up such a score that the Smith aggregation was not able to overcome it. The Biddle boys threatened in the final period when their line-bucking and forward passing attack registered 20 points and 12 first downs. It was indeed a desperate fight until the final whistle when the Bears were in possession of the ball on Smith's 6-yard line after sensational gains from the 50-yard line by Randall.
The Turkey Day facas marked the end of three brilliant grid careers at Livingstone as J. Daniels, Captain T. D. McDonald, and H. Moreland will graduate in the Spring. Never flashy but always consistent, Daniels played an important part in every game. Captain McDonald furnished a fitting end for his career by his wonderful offensive playing throughout the game. H. Moreland who has been on the sick list for the most of the season staged a wonderful comeback on Turkey Day. Berry and Butler were the other main outstanding players for Livingstone while Williams and Jordan shone for Smith.

FISK AND TENNESSEE STATE
TIE
NASHVILLE, Nov. 24. — In a blinding rain that fell throughout the afternoon the Fisk Bulldogs fought the Tennessee State College gridders to a scoreless tie in their annual battle here today before a record crowd. Through the first quarter neither team was able to gain much ground, only two first downs being made by each team. In the second quarter the running of Gaston, Saunders and Bell, and the driving power of Tennessee's line twice brought the ball to Fisk's five-yard line, but on each occasion the Fisk line tightened and staved off what seemed to be a sure touchdown. The playing of Kilgore at right guard was largely responsible for this.
In the second half, the game resolved itself into a punting duel with Yost of Fisk having the better of the affair. On several occasions he punted 40 and 45 yards in a steady downpour of rain. Neither team attempted many passes.
WILBERFORCE TIED BY WEST VA. INSTITUTE
WILBERFORCE TIED BY WEST VA. INSTITUTE
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov, 24—Wilberforce and West Virginia Institute split football honors in their annual Thanksgiving tilt, and settling the dispute of their age-old rivalry with a 12-12 score at Neil park this afternoon. It was the seventh time the big Western elevens had mixed up and the heat of euthusiasic but friendly competition was keenly felt throughout the contest. Both teams drove hard, gained and lost with a spirit and determination that chafed to the point of redness the 4,000 witnesses of their performance.
McConnell, of Institute, and Mendenhall, of Wilberforce, easily distinguished themselves from their respectvie herds. McConnell's low-running drives repeatedly bored through the Wilberforce defense for substantial gains. Mendenhall's versatile shifting accounted for a great deal of the Wilberforce yardage. Both stars were ably seconded by their teammates.
After McConnell, the brunt of Institute's gaining job was carried out by Branch and Hundley. Free in the line drove the Wilberforce backs to desperation on several occasions and Woolridge broke up and intercepted several passes. The famous "Wu Fang" Ward of All-American fame, Campbell and Harden were not easy game to the Institute tacklers. Throughout the first three periods the Yellowjackets matched each touchdown scored by the Ohioans. The fourth quarter was thrilling but not too much so. Both teams threatened but the timer's gun ended the dispute with the ball in midfield.
Institute outrushed and outgained its opponents, registering sixteen first downs to eight. Notwithstanding this, the teams, considering every department of the game, were almost evenly matched.

HAMPTON WINS VERDICT OVER UNION
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 24.—Hampton's big Blue and White Seasiders and Union University's Pawing Panthers fought doggedly back and forth, up and down, now making a touchdown, now making a well-executed lateral pass, now thrilling the rooters, until the Big Blue and White eleven emerged head and shoulders above their adversaries by a score of 12-7 in the annual Thanksgiving game. One of the largest holiday crowds that has ever gathered for the event that brings Hampton and Union together attended the game on Hovey Field. Hampton's victory was well won, as the game from start to finish was close, exciting, thrilling and clean.
Union's Panther foursome in the backfield, composed of Quarterback Dreaux, halfbacks Washington and Robinson, and fullback Moton, ran riot through Hampton's defense, especially on the well-executed lateral passes during the third quarter. The Panther eleven came back to the field in the beginning of the second half with six points against them but their determination helped Moton, their sturdy fullback, to drive through Hampton's line for the tying touchdown and again for the extra point. The Panthers' energy was well spent and she could then offer only resistance to the powerful drives of Pug Jones, Bulldog Williams, Du Baker, and Wildman Lee.
The game as a whole was fast, clean, and exciting. Breaux, Union's All-C. I. A. quarterback, again and again brought the crowd to its feet with his fast end sweeps. His fellow backs were also feet-footed. Washington was a hard hitter and unusually hard to stop once he got going. On the line Arthur Ruffin, Coach Ruffin's brother, and Red. Anderson were the shining lights that made Union look as if she might be the winner of the hard-fought struggle.

GREATEST NEGRO BACK STARTED ON FOOTBALL CAREER BECAUSE HE HAD EXCELLENT CALVES
An interesting story lies behind the manner in which Benjamin F. Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple-threat man and stellar backfield ace, drifted into football. When Cleve L. Abbott, the Crimson coach, was vice-principal, commandant, contact officer and director of athletes at an institution out West, it was his duty to make a daily inspection of the quarters of the cadets.
On one of these inspection tours he came across a small chap busily engaged in the study of arithmetic. Abbott's discerning eyes noticed the boy's excellent calves and general all-around physique and directed him to report to the field the next day for a tryout for the football team. The boy was reluctant at first, but finally decided to report to the coach. The youngster proved to be an apt pupil and grasped the rudiments of the game

without difficulty. Stevenson continued to show promise and Abbott nurtured him until today he is one of the greatest football players in the uniform.
On: Philadelphia sport writer saw him in action in the game with Lincoln and called him "Alabama's fine halfback" and another referred to him as the "bronze wizard of the gridiron." Be it said to the credit of Stevenson, through it all, he remains unspoiled.
STONEWALLS AND EBENE-
ZANS MEET
What is expected to be one of the most exciting gridiron contests of the 1927 sandlot season will bring together two heretofore undefeated teams—the Stonewall A. C. and the Ehbenzer A. C. Four-and-a half street and Maine avenue, southwest will be the scene of the battle Sunday, December 4 at 2 p.m.
The clash will mark the resume of an age-old sectional feud—Southwest Washington mees Southeast Washington. The Stonewalls, the crack Southwest clansmen, are expected to fight stubbornly to defend the honor they enjoyed when they handed the church boys from the Southwest section a 6-0 defeat at the close of last season.
Ebenozer, on the other hand fresh from their 6-0 victory over the chesty Teddy Bears last Sunday, may be counted on to unleash an attack which will take advantage of every available opportunity to score. Having so successfully smothered the efforts of Dorsay and Dodson, two of the city's leading sandlot ball carriers, the church lads are sporting a very confident air. Puds Brown and company should be in for trouble if fight and confidence means anything.

you do if your husband were to disappear from the face of the earth, ostensibly having died a zero's death—and then years later, suddenly reappear, a broken old man—honor gone, reputation buried, pride forgotten? What would you do?
And what cast. Emil Jannings of whom the London Daily Telegraph says: "In The Way of All Flesh, jannings wins the right to be called the world's greatest actor." You've seen Jannings in many European made picture, but now see him in its first American-made picture—and his finest. Supporting Jannings are Belle Bennett, Phyllis Javer and Donald Keith.
Life has but two paths—the light and the wrong. One leads to happiness; the other points "The Way of All Flesh." See the drama of a man who turned to the left and left his life behind him. "The Way of all Flesh" will be shown at the Republic Theatre for five days from Sunday, December 4, to Thursday, December 8. It is a super-special picture. Lon Chaney in "Shadows" will be the feature attraction at the Republic on Friday and Saturday, December 10 and 11. Chaney plays the part of Yen Sin, a heathen Chinaman. "Shadows" is an attraction of Wilbur Daniel Steele's famous prize story "Ching, Ching, Chinaman."
On Saturday only there will be alent at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30.

JAMES F. LEE TO MANAGE
BROADWAY THEATRE
Wearing Apparel Given Away at Opening
James F. Lee, well known Washingtonian is now manager of the Broadway Theatre which is being thoroughly remodeled and redecorated at a cost of approximately $8,000; thus adding another theatre to Washington's string of first class theatres.
An up-to-date organ, which is being built to order, will be installed in the spring.
During opening week an overcoat and enough blue serge cloth to make a lady's dress will be given away. On the opening day souvenirs will be given away.
"DANCE MANIA" AT THE
HOWARD NEXT WEEK
"Dance Mania" will be at the Howard Theatre for the week beginning Monday matinee, December 5. Dance Mania features Billy Higgins, the well-known comedian who for years enjoyed a wide reputation with the Columbia Burlesque circuit and Adelaide Hall whom critics have selected to take the place of the late Florence Mills. Miss Hall has a marvelous voice and this together with her charm and personality is certain to make her popular. Virgal and Robinson, the boys who were hits in the original Club Alabam Company, Lena Wilson, Crawford Jackson, Wells and Mordical, and a big chorus of beautiful dancing maniacs are in the cast.
On the screen will be shown for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "Babe Comes Home," starring the King of Swat, Babe Ruth. Supporting the Bambino will be seen Anna Q. Nilsson, Louise Fazenda, Ethel Channon and Arthur Stone. In this production it has been endeavored to bring before the public the glory of baseball, and to this end the producers have spared no expense in bringing to the screen one of the highest priced men in the national game, Babe Ruth.
On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen the screen's adored and beloved Lewis Stone supported by Anna Q. Nilsson in "Lonesome Ladies." In this new starring vehicle Mr. Stone points out the dangers of wives' lonesomeness, the thing that has wrecked many romances and happy homes. In this picture it is conclusively shown that wives' dangerous age of lonesomeness is a-
round 35. The great domestic problem of why wiver are lonesome is thoroughly explained in the production by Miss Nilsson as being due to the fact that wives after they are married oftimes become careless and indifferent and soon lose tehir personality and become unattractive to their husbands who then leave them alone in search of more attractive ladies. On Friday night, beginning at 12:15 sharp, the regular midnight ramble will be held. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show.
THE GREAT DEATH DEFYING SPECTACLE OF LOVE AND ROMANCE, "BEN HUR" AT THE LINCOLN
For one week only, beginning Sunday, December 4, the first opportunity to view in motion and color the magnificent Lew Wallace classic "Ben Hur" comes to the Lincoln Theatre where Metro Goldwyn Mayer's $4,000,000 pictureization of the novel sub-titled "A Tale of Christ" will be shown.
It was America's greatest stage spectacle of twenty-two years, and now, in the art of the motion picture is offered this, the greatest of all motion picture masterpieces. It is a picture of magnificent magnitude and sumptuous beauty. It shows the sea fights, and the great chariot races and the lovely romance of Juda, the Prince of Hur, and Esther. It also shows the replicas of the old world masterpieces in color.
In this production one sees the beauty of the birth of Christ, the visit of the three wise men, the procession of palms, the last supper, the miracle of Christ healing the sick, the mob at the palace of Pontius Pilate, and that horrible trip of Christ to Calvary, which climaxes the terrific cataclysm of nature that topples towers and palaces at the death of the Saviour. The final scene with Roman soldiers casting lots for the garments of Christ, and the women kneeling at the foot of the cross is said to be the most beautiful and reverent ever staged.
"Ben Hur" is presented with a magnificent cast that includes such stars as Ramon Novarro, May Mac Avoy, Francis X. Bushman, and Carmel Myers, who are supported by 150,000 others.
"Ben Hur" being the greatest spectacle of stage or screen has been presented to the public having cost $4,000,000 to produce. It is not necessary to add the great cost that the management of the Lincoln Theatre has gone through in order to be able to be present to the people of Washington this production as it should be. It is confidently felt that the public will appreciate this, but in order to present this the management must make a slight increase in their admission prices.

It is expected that many ministers and Sunday school teachers will attend with their classes to see the picture. At the early morning performance on Saturday the new Universal chapter play "The Trail of the Tiger" will also be shown.

Of course, business is good in spots, but a very few spots. Still wherever a colored picture is booked the houses still play to capacity, and for this reason I say, we need a firm to produce good clear, high class colored pictures.
The Colored Players' Film Corporation at 1337 Vine street, Philadelphia, is not only a profitable investment, but it means work for thousands of our people, and it will surely be a life saver to colored theatres for they have to have something new as the actors have offered but little.

DUD'S DOPE
THE SHOW BUSINESS
By S. H. Dudley, Sr.
It is true that the Columbia has taken off all colored shows from their wheel. But Ziegfield has opened a way for us in his new show, "The Show Boat," the show that opened at the National in Washington Tuesday, November 15. Mr. Ziegfield has engaged forty or more colored singers and dancers besides a colored actor (I don't know his name) who has a principal role playing opposite Aunt Jamina (a white woman) all through the show. This really means something.
I must admit that the word nigger is used quite often through the show but the scenes are laid in the South and we must look for that; however, if we would only stop to think that the show was written to entertain and not to ridicule we could overlook the use of the word. One thing sure, we have a chance to display our ability in the best theatres and that means much. I am informed by my old pal, William Vodrey, who is responsible for the colored end of the show, that the salaries range from $50 per week up to $500 per week.
Autos vs. Movies
Show business in the colored theatres is way below par and the managers are trying to figure out the cause of it. I think I have one solution—too many automobiles sold on credit, and cur people are over taxed with worn out cars on credit. Every man that makes $20 per week is buying a car, and such cars as he can buy takes $25 per week to keep them running, therefore he has nothing left to spend for amusements.
And there is the fellow who can afford a car, he wants to be out riding in it so this takes him away from the theatres. Now just what the outcome of the colored theatres will be, is hard to tell. Some-
