Four Injured in Deanwood Street Car Collision Dr. Curtis Says Miss Fitzhugh Hit First PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ASKS CONGRESS TO PASS FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 19 ACCIDENTOCCURS DURING MORNING SCHOOL RUSH HR. Three men and one woman were injured and a score of persons, mostly students of the various local schools, were severely shaken up when two cars of the Washington Railway and Electric Co. were in a rear-end collision about 8:40 o'clock Tuesday morning. The accident occurred at Forty-fourth street and Deane avenue, northeast, between cars operating between the Treasury and the District line. The cars, always crowded at that hour in the morning, rammed when number 7 trolley, one of the old bench seat types, was unable to make a complete stop before overtaking car number 17 which had slowed down to permit a third car to change tracks at the Forty-fourth street switch. The Injured Thomas Young, 66, an employee of the Bureau of Standards, residing at 1088 Forty-fourth street, received a wrenched back. William A. Brewer, 25, 4222 Foote street was treated for multiple contusions and abrasions. John Walker, 23, of 5918 Dix street, received multiple contusions, and Miss Ruth Kimbell, 24, living at 4410 Gault street received contusions of the skull and left side. Brewer works at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, while Miss Kimbell is an employee of the Congress Laundry. They were all treated at Casualty Hospital. About eighty per cent of the people using the line, which is the means of transportation between Deanwood, Fairmont Heights, and the District line and the city proper are colored. About fifty per cent of the number are children, young men and women who attend the District schools. More than two score of students were in the two cars when the mishap occurred. While a check-up revealed that a majority were suffering from shock no casualties were discovered. majority were suffering from shock no casualties were discovered. Three girls, Miss Rosa Clark, Miss Hester Woodward and Miss Fannie Turner were excused from their studies at the Armstrong Technical High School by Mrs. O. W. Snivey, assistant principal upon their requests. Mrs. Mary Selden, emergency matron, recommended the girls' excuse. While none of the girls were hurt. Mrs. Selden deemed it best to allow their nerves a rest. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, a teacher at Armstrong, who was a passenger on the car which was unable to stop at the time of the collision asserts that the motorman made every effort to stop the vehicle, but the slippery tracks rendered the necessary sudden stop impossible. Mr. Thomas was thrown forward a distance of about 10 feet by the force of the impact. MAN STABBED MONTH AGO, DIES SUNDAY MAN STABBED MONTH AGO, DIES SUNDAY Inquest into the death of Thomas Brown, 39, who died Sunday as a result of a stab wound received in an altercation Friday, November 4, was held Monday. Brown came to his death exactly one month after being stabbed by Charles S. Cook, 52, of 1743 S street, northwest, during what appears to have been a drunken brawl. According to witnesses the two men had had several words when Brown took objections to something Cook said and an argument ensued. Licks were passed and in the mix-up Cook whipped out a knife and stabbed Brown in the left side. The wounded man was rushed to Emergency Hospital by his nephew John Haley, but refused treatment. Until the time of his death, Brown lived at the home of his sister, Elizabeth Haley, 2412 Seventeenth street, northwest. He refused medical attention, believing that the wound was not serious. Called upon to testify at the inquest, William A. Jones, at whose residence, 1768 Willard street, the aftercance was reported to have taken place, asserted that he had made the two men leave his premises the moment they became engaged in the argument. Precinct detective H. W. Smith, of number 8, arrested Cook at 10 o'clock Sunday night. Cook was ordered held for the action of the grand jury. THE CONGRESSIONAL FIRST ST., S. E.

OF FERS TO ENTERTAIN NEGRO PAN-HEL- Negro fraternity and sorority circles all over the country received an invitation from the Mine C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, of Indianapolis, Indiana, to be its guests at a national Pan-Hellenic in 1928. Much interest is being manifested in this invitation because there has been much talk of a united session of all organizations among Negro college men and women, and this effort of an outside agency to encourage and foster the movement has met with a hearty response in many quarters. The conventions of the various organizations will be held in Detroit, Cleveland, New York and St. Louis and the invitation from the Walker Company is urging the appointment of special Pan-Hellenic committees to work out the details of a united national meeting in Indianapolis in 1928, as well as that the individual meetings be held there. E. B. HENDERSON POSTS BOND IN CONSPIR'CY CASE Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the colored schools and an eastern football official, last Saturday posted a bond of $1,000 for his appearance on a charge of conspiracy to use the mails to defraud. With Mr. Henderson were indicted Gilbert Pattern Brown, president of the Central Chiropractic College, 1914 Seventh street, northwest, and Ethel G. Wood, member of the faculty of the school, both white. Brown has not yet surrendered. A bench warrant for his arrest will probably be issued by the district attorney's office. The indictment charges that Dr. Brown, Miss Wood and Mr. Henderson, from December 12, 1924, to December 2 last, conspired to use the mails to defraud. In letters, circulars and pamphlets, the indictment charges, they made false representations for the purpose of obtaining money. Brown was represented as a practicing attorney and president of the United States Incorporating Company, which could legally charter hospitals, sanitariums and institutions of learning with degree-giving powers to operate anywhere in this or foreign countries. The overt acts cited by the Government in the indictment includes a large batch of letters, most of which were written by Dr. Brown. In them he solicited Prof. C. Braganza, of Bostor, Mass., to incorporate a school under the name of "the National Occult School." Henderson Writes Letter The only overt act alleged to have been committed by Mr. Henderson is the writing and mailing of a letter on May 23, 1927, in which he told Prof Braganza "to leave off Prof. and degrees" in signing his name. The question of Mr. Henderson's connections with the Central Chiropractic College and the United States Incorporating Company came before the Board of Education last spring. Mr. Henderson appeared before the board and made a full statement regarding his connections. At that time, it was decided that the matter would be dropped if Mr. Henderson severed relations with these institutions. He immediately resigned and notified the school board of his actions. George E. C. Hayes, attorney for Mr. Henderson, stated that any act charged against his client would be explained at the proper time. DEAN DWIGHT HOLMES AT "Y" SUNDAY The Father and Son mass meeting held at the Twelfth Street Y. M. C. A. was largely attended last Sunday.

In his answer filed Monday through Attorney Charles H. Houston, Dr. Curtis denies her charges that he and his wife assaulted her. He makes the counter-charge that on the two occasions on which she alleges she was assaulted, she attacked him and his wife. He defended himself, Dr. Curtis says, using only sufficient force to restrain Miss Fitzhugh. Doctor Denies Attack Dr. Curtis denies that he struck, beat, kicked or otherwise ill-treated Miss Fitzhugh. He declares that she has sustained no damage entitling her to a right of action against him. He charges that on each of the occasions and at the time and place mentioned in her suit, she assaulted him. He says that Miss Fitzhugh struck, beat him and scratched him about the head and body. As a result, he claims, he sustained injuries and was put in fear of imminent danger to life and limbs. On each occasion, he says, he seted solely in self defense, putting his hands upon her for the single purpose of making her desist from assaulting him. He further charges that she abused, maltreated and destroyed his personal property including certain office equipment and medical instruments. Injures Mrs. Curtis She also assaulted his wife, he charges, striking, beating and scratching Mrs. Curtis and inflicting great injuries upon her. In defense of his wife, Dr. Curtis says, he used only sufficient force to protect her. The two alleged assaults are supposed to have occurred in the offices of Dr. Curtis at 1717 U street, northwest, on May 8 and July 7. On July 8, Miss Fitzhugh was arrested and charged with making threats. On July 15, Judge Robert E. Mattingly in police court required her to post a bond of $500 not to breach the peace. Dr. Arthur L. Curtis was the complainant in this case. On November 10, Miss Fitzhugh filed separate suits against Dr. Curtis and his wife for $10,000 damages each, charging that they had assaulted her. CONGRESS GETS MANY BILLS OF NEGRO INTEREST CONGRESS GETS MANY BILLS OF NEGRO INTEREST Into the legislative grist mill of the seventieth Congress, which convened at noon Monday, were poured 5,400 bills and resolutions, ranging from private to national in interest. Included in this number was the Dyer anti-lynching bill. Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, reintroduced in the House of Representatives the measure which bears his name. He has been doing this at every session of the Congress ever since passage of his bill was blocked by a Democratic filibuster in the Senate in the closing days of the sixty-seventh Congress. A resolution directing the Committee on the Census to submit a report in connection with legislation providing for a reapportionment of Representatives in Congress was introduced by Representatives George Holden Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts. The purpose of this resolution is the reduction of representation in the Congress of southern states in which Negroes are disfranchised. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules. Two Bills for Howard Two bills to amend the orignal act of incorporation of Howard University were introduced. Their (Continued on page 2) G. B.

Beginning a few years ago with a music store, Mr. Reid had gradually added departments until now he has a well stocked music store, a haberdashery carrying bags and shoes, a notion department and now a well stocked stationery department. During his expansion Mr. Reid purchased the building where he is, and now occupies all of the floor space. In a statement to a Tribune reporter, Mr. Reid said, "All of this has been made possible with the help of our race patrons." MAN'S DEATH IS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY Mystery surrounds the death of Marshall Armstead, 50-year-old laborer at the Columbia Sand and Gravel Co. Thirtieth and Jefferson streets, southwest. While it is believed the man died of an injury, the source of the injury is unknown. Armstead who was taken to his home at 2406 F street in an unconscious state about 5 o'clock last Monday evening, died an hour later without regaining consciousness. His wife, Mrs. M. C. Armstead was at home when Robert Harris, a friend and three fellow workmen of Armstead's brought him to the house in Harris' car. None of the men could offer any kind of explanation of the man's condition. Armstead is a workman on a pile driver operated at the Columbia Sand and Gravel Co., by the Cranford Dredging Co. The job foreman when approached by a Tribune reporter declared that Armstead reported to work at 7:30 o'clock Monday morning with an injury above his left eye. He was then in a dazed condition and walking with an unsteady gait, according to the foreman. Thinking he had had a drink and that he would soon gain his composure the head man let Armstead go about his duties. As late as 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, however, when it was seen that Armstead's condition had not improved he was told to leave work. "Go home and come back tomorrow sober," his foreman declares he told Armstead. At 4:45 p.m. Armstead was discovered lying behind a tool box in a corner of the yard by Harris, one of his fellow workmen. Harris and three others placed Armstead in the former's car and carried him to his home. When questioned, men (both white and colored) who worked with Armstead, declared that he had not been hurt while at work. All of them seemed to have been of the opinion that he was intoxicated, and had been injured in some manner before reporting for work. Mrs. Armstead, on the other hand, avers that she saw her husband on his job at 8 a.m., a half hour after he had arrived at work and that he was at that time well at rest. Up until that hour he had not been drilling, according to his wife. WIFE OF BISHOP E. D. W. JONES IS SERIOUSLY HURT Mrs. Maggie Jones, the wife of Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is lying in Freedmen's Hospital suffering from painful injuries received when she was knocked down by an automobile Monday night. The car, a cab belonging to the Crosstown Taxi Service, Twenty-first and L streets, ran up on Mrs. Jones at the intersection of Twenty-second streets about 6:40 o'clock while she and a friend Mrs. H. T. Medford were crossing New Hampshire avenue en route to visit a friend. Driver's Statement According to the story of George Newman, 36, 407 Twenty-fourth street, northwest, the driver of the car, the two ladies had left the east curb of New Hampshire avenue and had almost reached the middle of the street when an automobile traveling south on Twenty-second street sounded its horn and passed behind them. The ladies, Newman avers, evidently became excited. They both jumped. Mrs. Jones landing directly in the path of the taxi which knocked her to the ground. Newman rushed Mrs. Jones to Freedmen's Hospital where Dr. E. M. Swift attended her. It was discovered she is suffering from a leg broken in two places, fractured skull, lacerations of the left side and face and undetermined internal injuries. Latest reports from the hospital state that Mrs. Jones is resting easily. Heard No Horn Mrs. Medford who is the wife of Dr. Hampton T. Medford, pastor of the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, with whom Mrs. Jones was walking when the accident occurred, declared in an interview Wednesday, that she heard no horn and saw no second car, which the cab driver describes. Mrs. Jones is 56 years of age and resides at 1739 S street, northwest. Bishop E. D. W. Jones, husband of Mrs. Jones, was in Rock Hill, S. C. He was notified of the accident and rushed immediately for Washington. FORD D'MOLISHED IN ACCIDENT, NO SERIOUS INJ'RIES Fortune smiled on Alfred Moore, 25, Alonzo Dancey, 18 and Homer Costley, 33, early last. Tuesday morning when a Diamond Cab, of the Independent Taxicab Owners' Association collided with the Ford two-door sedan in which they were riding, and completely demolished it. Moore, the owner of the Ford, who resides at 1339 T street, northwest, was driving north on Seventh street when the taxicab, bound west on Rhode Island avenue, struck it in its midsection and turned it side up on the northwest corner curb of the intersection. The three men were released from the mass of wreckage by an unknown bystander and the driver of the cab. They were taken to Freedmen's Hospital in the second precinct patrol and treated by Dr. Robinson. None of the men were seriously hurt. Moore was treated for lacerations of the right hand, while Costley received treatment for bruises about the left hip and side of the body. Dancey did not require medical attention. Dancey lives at 910 Forty-fifth street, northeast, and Costley at 4220 Eads street, northeast. Both cars were badly damaged and escape from the Ford without serious injury seemed utterly impossible. WILLIAM T. FRANCIS' NAME SENT TO THE SENATE President Coolidge on Tuesday sent to the Senate the nomination of William T. Francis, of St. Paul, Minn., to be counsel general and minister resident to Liberia. Mr. Franeis was a given a recess appointment and is already in Monrovia, the OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. reet C t First BAR ASSOCIATION TO IN- VESTIGATE PHILADEL- PHIA JUDGE ST. PAUL, Minn.—According to an announcement made here by Attorney Olander J. Smith, the National Bar Association will make an investigation in the statement made by a Philadelphia judge recently which stigmatized the whole Negro race. The judge went outside of his duty in charging a grand jury in declaring that crime was a matter of race. According to his view, he would like to see communities given the power to say whether Negroes should live in their midst at all or not. Mr. Smith is a regional director of the National Bar Association. Attorney C. H. Calloway, of Kansas City, Mo., is president. The incident was brought to the attention of the association through an editorial appearing in the Washington Tribune. NEARLY 1000 BID GARVEY GOODBYE AT NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 8 (PNS)—Nearly one thousand stood in a drenching rain here last Friday and lustily shouted "God save our president," as Marcus Garvey boarded the Steamer Saramacca bound for Cristobal, Canal Zone. There he will be transferred to another ship bound for Kingston. Garvey, whose sentence recently was commuted after he had served more than two years in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary on a technical charge of using the mails to defraud, was taken to Jamaica from Colon. He had been ordered deported by the Federal government. Standing on a cannon on the promenade deck of the steamer Garvey delivered an eloquent valedictory to those who gathered about the steamer to pay their respects to their departing leader. He declared that he would carry on his work for Negro freedom all over the world. He then told his adherents how he had been "framed" in this country. Pointing out convincingly that the persecutions he had suffered and the sacrifices he was compelled to make should make the fearless men and women of the darker races consider more seriously the necessity of breaking the bonds of slavery so they could become upstanding, producing, developing, respecting people among the nations of the world. A committee, officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, came here from New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh to see him off. One of the leaders announced that members of the association had given Garvey $10,000 to defray expenses of the trip to Jamaica and for settling there after he arrives. He is expected to open offices in Jamaica. "I stand for the Negro proletariat," was Marcus' last message to the little group that went with him to his stateroom. "The Negro intelligentsia double-crossed and framed me. They signed my name with a rubber stamp to documents on which I was convicted." WASHINGTON WOMEN WIN CRISIS PRIZES New York, N.

Car Co PRESIDENT CO CONGRESS ANTI-LY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ASKS CONGRESS TO PASS ANTI-LYNCH LAW ELEVEN INJURED IN ACCIDENTS ON SLIPPERY ROADS Seven Negroes were among the number of persons injured in the numerous traffic accidents caused by the slimy streets of last Friday night. None of those hurt, however, are in a serious condition. Howard Dodson, 21, of 1511 Eighth street, northwest, is perhaps the most severely injured. He suffered a broken leg when an automobile owned and operated by George C. Cochran, 927 Fifteenth street struck him while he was crossing New Hampshire avenue, between U and V streets. Dodson is at Garfield Hospital where doctors say he is doing nicely. Thomas S. Briscoe, 20, residing at 3 Lament street, northeast, and a friend Samuel Weaver, of 15 Rock Creek Church road received lacerations about the face, arms and body when Briscoe's automobile collided with a street car at Seventh and G streets, southeast.

Call Potomac 1667. w. Col ENT CO GRESS NTI-LYN ```markdown ``` IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS llision COOLIDGE ASKS TO PASS NCH LAW By Louis R. Lautier President Coolidge praised the accomplishments of the Negro, gave figures to show the extent of his government employment, approved of his management of the United States veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., and recommended enactment of anti-lynching legislation, in his message to the Congress delivered Tuesday. No other race has accomplished as much in the same length of time, he told the Congress, Negroes, he said, have come up from slavery to be prominent in education, the professions, art, science, agriculture, banking, and commerce. Fifty thousand Negroes are on the payroll of the Federal government, he declared. Their pay amounts to $50,000,000 a year. They have also received presidential appointments. They are in charge of the entire management and control of the Veterans hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., and their conduct of this institution has taken high rank. Touches Lynching Notwithstanding their accomplishments, the President said, they are still the victims of mob violence. They are especially the target of the "foul crime of lynching." He recommended to the Congress that it enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to wipe out lynching. Only two races were singled out by the President for special treatment in his message. One was the Negro. The other was the American Indian. That portion of his message dealing with the Negro is as follows: "History does not anywhere record so much progress in the same length of time as that which has been accomplished by the Negro race in the United States since the Emancipation Proclamation. They have come up from slavery to be prominent in education, the professions, art, science, agriculture, banking, and commerce. It is estimated that 50,000 of them are on the Government pay rolls, drawing about $50,000,000 each year. They have been the recipients of presidential appointments and their professional ability has arisen to a sufficiently high plane so that they have been intrusted with the entire management and control of the great veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, where their conduct has taken high rank. They have shown that they have been worthy of all the encouragement which they have received. "Violence Disminishing Nevertheless, they are too often subjected to thoughtless and in- considerate treatment, unworthy alike of the white or colored races. They have especially been made the target of the foul crime of lynching. For several years the acts of unlawful violence had been diminishing. In the last year they have shown an increase. Every principle of order and law and liberty is opposed to this crime. The Congress should enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for its elimination." KANSAS CITY TO GET NEXT G.O.P CONVENTION The next Republican nation convention will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, June 12. Kansas City was selected as the meeting place on the twentieth ballot by the Republican national committee, Wednesday. Perry W. Howard. Benjam' Jefferson Davis and Mrs. George S. Williams voted with chairmen William M. Butler from the first the twentieth ballot for the Missouri City. Mrs. Mary C. Booz voted with Vice-chairman Charles D. Hilles for San Francisco thru the final ballot. A half dozen cities, including Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia, were in the contest. Kansas City, Missouri, is a Negro prejudice-ridden town. Negroes are not allowed to visit in white hotels. Pullman accommodations cannot be secured out of the city. Segregation prevails in all public places. TWO NEGRO SCHOOLS REPORTED ON BY SECRET'RY WORK The Department of the Interior is making another survey of Negro colleges and normal schools, according to the annual report of Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, which was made public Monday. "The fourteen states which maintain separate schools for colored children," the Secretary reports, "had in 1925, 2,537,638, such children between 5 and 17 years of age inclusive and enrolled 1,758,485 or 69.3 per cent of them in elementary and secondary schools for terms ranging from 111 to 184 days." The report points out that "the Department's relation to these schools is exactly that which it has Neuralgia Sufferers Read This Unnecessary to Endure Those Awful Pains Any Longer For quickest, most lasting relief from Neuralgia pains, put on a Johnson's Red Cross Plaster.

Readings $1.00 in general to other public schools in the United States, that of an advisory, informing and consulting organization. From 1913 to 1916 the Bureau of Education of the department made a comprehensive study of Negro education in the United States, with a view of learning the exact conditions and outlining methods for betterment. "At present, the Department is making another survey of the Negro colleges and normal schools in order to determine their present status. At their own request, 78 Negro institutions are included in this study which will undoubtedly prove of much service to these institutions as well as, to the institutions to which their graduate desire to go for further study." Annual Conferences The report recites that in 1920 the Interior Department "inaugurated a series of annual conferences to be attended by the officials of and those interested in the 17 Negro land-grant colleges over which the department has a certain measure of administrative control through the allotment of Federal funds. "Although some of these colleges were established as early as 1871, prior to 1910 few of them had made much progress. Since then their growth has been comparatively rapid. Secretary Work reports that "Howard University last year completed a new $500,000 laboratory building for the preclinical branch of medicine, and raised $500,000 of endowments for instruction in the school of medicine. It has undertaken a comprehensive survey of medical instruction under the direction of Fred C. Zapffee, secretary of the Association of American Medical Colleges, looking toward fundamental improvement of preclinical laboratory work and the most effective use of the rich clinical materials available at Freedmen's Hospital. Admissions to the nine colleges and schools of the university are henceforth all to be centralized in the office of the university registrar." Freedmen's Hospital According to the report, "patients receiving care and treatment at Freedmen's Hospital numbered 24,653 for the year, exceeding all previous records. Surgical operations in 2,579 cases were performed, representing an increase of 21 per cent over the preceding year. The hospital accommodated 1,087-pay patients, an increase of 117 over the previous year. "A fully equipped dental department was established during the year, with a registered dentist in charge. Beside instruction and training in surgical procedure given to 115 students of the Howard University medical school, 25 young medical graduates were trained as interns, and 70 pupil nurses were receiving a full course of instruction."

There was an undercurrent of opposition to Mr. Davis. His opponents wished to have his name reported separately. Roscoe C. Simmons, of Chicago, Ill., asked to be heard, if this were done. It was finally agreed that the name of Mr. Davis would be reported with the names of other persons chosen to fill vacancies. When it was reported it was unanimously ratified by the National Committee. William M. Butler, chairman of the National Committee, appointed Perry W. Howard, member for Mississippi, to serve on the committee on memorials to deceased members. He also appointed Mrs. Mary C. Booze, national committeewoman for Mississippi, to serve on the committee to draft the call for the next Republican national convention. Creager Reprimanded The executive committee of the national committee had National Committeeman R. B. Creager, of Texas, to understand that he professed Republicanism. Mr. Creager had a speech in New Orleans, La., advocating the elimination of the Negro from party councils. Mr. Simmons in a letter to members of the national committee demanded to know of them if Mr. Creager spoke for the committee. Their replies were a repudiation of the Texas committeeman. "Lily white" proponents desired to strike another blow at the Negro. They wanted a resolution offered to the effect that no Federal office holder should be a delegate to the national convention or be permitted to hold an office in the party organization, state or national. Senator George Wharton Pepper advised them that such a resolution would be out of order. Mrs. George S. Williams, national committeewoman for Georgia, attended the meeting of the committee. Others who were present at the meeting included: **Negro Delegates Present** Robert R. Church, Memphis, Tenn.; Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans, La.; Roscoe C. Simmons, Chicago, Ill.; Melvin Chisum, Chicago, Ill.; Charles E. Mitchell, Institute, W. Va.; W. H. C. Brown, Newport News, Va.; Judge Edward W. Henry, Samuel B. Hart, John A. Spark and Robert W. Montgomery, Philadelphia, Pa.; Sidney B. Thompson, Cleveland, O.; Dr. S. H. George, Paducah, Ky.; C. Tiffany Tolliver, Roanoke, Ga.; Joseph H. Watson, Albany, Ga.; Eugene P. Booze, Mound Bayou, Miss.; E. L. Patton, Mound Bayou, Miss.; W. L. Mhoon, Jackson, Miss., and Clarence R. Vena, Teno. O, MISS MAE IRVIN HEAD NURSE OF N.Y. HOSPITAL Miss Emma Mae Irwin, former superintendent of nurses at Freedman's Hospital, has been appointed head nurse at the Lincoln Hospital, New York City, it was stated in a report reaching here yesterday. Miss Irwin was requested to resign her position at Freedmen's early last July when it was discovered she was unable to get along with her associates at the Hospital and internal turbulence handicapped the service. The Lincoln Hospital, it is said, contains 600 beds and 175 nurses. The staff doctors and internes are white, the nurses colored. Miss Irwin's appointment took place the last week of November. INVENTOR GETS PATENT Clarence Lee Mahoney, 1823 Sixth street, northwest, has invented and patented a sanitary chamber-seat covering which is portable and can be carried about with the owner. He is conducting negotiations with a firm for the manufacture of the product, and with another firm for the distribution. Mr. Mahoney also has several ideas which he intends at perfect and patent. INDICTED ON MURDER COMMITTED 11 YEARS AGO MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 8 (PNS) —Following the action of the county grand jury here last week, Saul Boyd must be convinced that the mills of the gods grind exceedingly slow, but grind also exceedingly fine. Boyd was indicted for a murder said to have been committed eleven years ago. He was accused of slaying Clinton Smith. Prident Coolidge nominated Addison E. Southard, white, to be counsel general and minister to Abyssinia. Mr. Southard is also a recess appointee. He was born in Louisville, Ky., and has been in the diplomatic service for twelve years. He served in the consular service in Abyssinia and wrote a book on the country in 1918. "It is but fair and just to give the Negro worker an equal wage for his labor, and the permanent hope for promotion and advancement commensurate with the training, efficiency and skill which he puts into his labor," says Secretary James L. Davis in the fifteenth annual report of the Secretary of Labor to Congress, emphasizing at the same time his conviction that "the industrial and economic interests of the Negro are indisolubly a part of those of all the American people." Secretary Davis said in part, "Upon assuming the duties of directing the Federal Department of Labor in its work in behalf of the nation's wage-earners, I said, "There is no such thing as segregating the economies of the Negro from those of any other group in America." Nation of Justice "At this time, I am firmly convinced that the industrial and economic interests of the Negro are indissolubly a part of those of all the American people. Our Constitution so decrees it; and our convictions as a nation which is foremost among the powers of justice of the world forbid that any group within our keeping should be denied the full freedom of democratic government and opportunity, because of race, creed, or previous condition of servitude. "The Negro in America has made his way as a citizen, a soldier, and a worker. During the past half century, particularly in industry and agriculture, and among the nation's gainfully employed people, he has gone forward in satisfaction to himself and to the productive enrichment of America. His continued progress will be an industrial asset of value to all the people.

This means that it will be but fair and just to give the Negro worker an equal wage for his labor, and the permanent hope for promotion and advancement commensurate with the training, efficiency and skill which he puts into his labor. He will thus become capable of contributing a real share toward increasing our prosperity and wealth as a nation. (Continued from page 1) object is to authorize Federal appropriations to Howard University. At present there is no authority in law for the annual appropriations that are made to the school. Points of order against the appropriations are always made and sustained in the House of Representatives. The Senate restores the items that are stricken out in the House on the points of order. The passage of one of these bills would stop the making of points of order against appropriations to the university. One of the bills was introduced by Representative Daniel A. Reed, of New York, and the other by Representative Louis C. Crampton, of Michigan, both Republicans. "Upon these principles, I believe a substantial measure of our future industrial success is dependent." CONSIDER BARRING NEGRO DELEGATES AT A.F. of L. MEET Two bills were also introduced to repeal the act prohibiting the importation and interstate transportation of prize fight films. They were referred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The law prohibiting the interstate transportation of prize fight films was passed in the championship days of Jack Johnson. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 8 (PNS)—The New Orleans labor officials are considering barring Negro delegates and visitors to the 1928 American Federation of Labor convention, it was recently revealed in a letter received by the Central Labor Council, which inquired whether they were allowed at the Los Angeles convention. Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat, of New York, reintroduced his bill to create a Negro industrial commission. GOVERNOR OFFERS AID TO PREVENT MOB VIOLENCE A bill to extend the provisions of the Federal farm loan act to the Virgin Islands was introduced by Representative Louis T. McFadden, Republican of Pennsylvania. NASHVILLE, Tennessee — The State of Tennessee wants no more outbreaks of lynching and mob violence and stands ready to do all in its power to prevent them, according to an open letter to sheriffs and attorney generals issued by Governor Henry H. Horton Except for the two resolutions by Senator George W. Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, seeking to withhold seats from Senators Frank L. Smith and William S.

AUTHORITIES TAKING NO CHANCES ON THE "CAT" BEING A "BLACK CAT" Authorities, in their search for the "Cat," the mysterious Washington burglar, are taking no chances on its color. It may even be a "black cat." This opinion of headquarters detectives came to light last Friday night when Cicero N. Osborne, a freshman at Howard University, and an employee of the Washington Tribune, was stopped and questioned when returning from a visit to a "lady friend" in Cleveland Park, the operating grounds of the "Cat." Osborne, who yet does not know exactly where he was, having reached his destination in the Park through the "country" directions of the lady, was a little confused in his directions when starting home. He began watching the numbers on the houses to ascertain in which direction he was walking. These actions, to the two headquarters detectives who were patrolling the neighborhood, looked suspicious. They followed him to the carline. As he was about to board the car, they "nabbed" him. He was saved from a trip to the station house by having a solicitor's card from the Washington Tribune to prove his place of employment, and his permit to register at Howard University, to prove he was a student. After much questioning as to why he was in the neighborhood, which, in the excitement of the experience, Osborne admits he did not answer so well, he was turned loose. CITY Mrs. Geraldine Dismond, managing editor of "The Tattler," Floyd J. Calvin, special feature writer of "The Courier," and George S. Schuyler, managing editor "The Messenger," 'all of New York City, were visitors in the city Sunday and Monday. They were en route to Durham, N.C. GETS FIVE YEARS Chief Justice Walter I.

Arrangements have already been completed for the car and entertainment of the host of delegates and members who will be present. The sorority was organized in 1920 at Howard University.

During the midyear, the general board meeting was held in Washington, the home of Alpha and Beta Zeta chapters. Three new chapters have been added, namely: Xi Chapter at Wilberforce University; Omicron Chapter in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Pi Chapter in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

NOTES FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF PASTOR OF FIRST BAP- TIST CHURCH ZACKERY-WHITE RECITAL RELEASE THURSDAY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1927 Dean Dwight O.W.Holmes Howard University "Educating For Manhood' ISAIAH, COUNSELS RULERS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11 (Scripture basis, Isr. 37:5-11, 14-20) Golden Text: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in three." Isa. 26:3. The Thought of the Lesson By Charles P. Harris The tgeneral teaching unit of this lesson is the relation of the Ministry to Politics and Statecraft, Isaiah, often called "The Judean Statesman and Prophet," was the demonstrator of this relationship. This lesson presents a dramatic and exciting crisis in the life of Jerusalem. This crisis was most critical not only from the viewpoint of the city, but also from that of the Jehovish Faith. It came at a time when Hezekiah, the king, had just effected a national repentence for the sins of wicked Ahaz his father, and a general return to God. But the aftermath of this repentence and return seemed to be inevitable destruction at the hands of the Assyrian army which at this time surrounded Jerusalem and demanded its surrender. Intimidations, threats and blasphemies were hurled from the lips of the Assyrian general into the ears of Jerusalem's king. In this crisis Hezekiah, the king, sent a plea to Isaiah and a prayer to God for aid. In answer to this plea to Isaiah came diplomatic advices and prophetic assurance; in answer to the prayer to God came Tirhakah, a Negro king, with a mighty army to help Jerusalem bear her cross, just as black Slimon later helped Jesus bear his. In this national crisis Isaiah was the key to Jerusalem's salvation and God's spokesman of the hour. Hezehiah recognized this, and upon Isaiah's assurance and advice stood steadfast. Isaiah's assurances and advised proved sound, for the Assyrian army was scattered and Jerusalem saved. SPECIAL SONG SERVICE AT RANKIN CHAPEL A special song service will be given by the choir of Howard University on Sunday morning, December 11, at eleven o'clock in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University.

We remember the story of the early life of Jesus. The Christmas season always brings it to us anew. We love ot re-tell the story of his birth. After that we see him when he has arrived at the age of twelve, and he is in the company with the scholars of his time. He was perfectly at home with them. It is at the time when Jesus reached the age of twelve that we find our text: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. As growth is recorded in the life of Jesus, so God intends that we should grow physically, mentally, and spiritually, and thereby attain the supreme goal in life, fit into God's program, and supply the need of the world today. Let us then consider some of the means of acquiring these most desirable attributes. Physical growth — growth in body is essential to be able to work, and to successfully withstand the storms of life. A healthy body is needed to withstand sickness and to ward off disease. And how is it obtained? By proper food, daily exercises; plenty of fresh air, sufficient refreshing sleep each night to repair and build up the day's waste. In fact it is obtained by abiding by the laws of health and physical training. And how pitiful is the sight of a full grown, athletic looking man, whose mental powers have been neglected; who has the brain of a child, a moron, if you please. The mind must be developed along with the body. Go to school. Learn your lessons every day. Stick to the job. Yet, with these developments alone, the supreme goal in life will be missed; for it cannot be attained without spiritual growth. Spiritual growth should begin in infancy. Jesus grew in favor with God. The training of the lad in the early tender of his life was chiefly in the hards of his mother. Have parents today a personal knowledge of God? Are they teaching their children the beauty and the truth of God and of righteousness as revealed in His word and in His son? Are they not unfaithful to their sacred trust as parents, when they leglect to have a family altar; when they are not concerned about their Sunday school study and attendance? Spiritual development is received from communion and fellowship with God. It is received from Bible study. It is received from meditation and prayer. It The junior choir of Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, northwest, will give a recital Friday evening, December 9, under the auspices of the Women's Club of the church. The choir is under the leadership of Mrs. Edna Gordon Dockings, a music teacher in this city, and is accompanied by Miss Lucille Allen. These young people are gaining recognition in musical circles and receive much praise when they appear in the services.

Booker (Assistant Pastor, 19th Street Baptist Church) is received from doing deeds of kindness and deeds of love every day. Let us look for a moment at a few great men who wrought well for God, who attained the supreme goal in life, and were thus able to fill in the gap; able to come forth at a time when God needed a man with a backbone to lead the people into the light and knowledge of liberty and justice. I have in mind Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Peter, Paul, Martin Luther, and John Wesley. Can we not see striking examples of the truths which we are considering? Men and women developed to the highest degree physically. Boys and girls who are holders of medals, and loving cups which bear testimony of their supremacy in the athletic world. We can easily find them fully developed mentally, and holders of degrees from our best colleges. We can readily place our hands on a man who has grown physically and mentally, but who has no conception of the love of God or the saving power of Jesus Christ. In every community we can find men only partly developed. We may take a trip through the histories of the world, and we will find that the men who attained the supreme goal in life were spiritually developed: men fully equipped and prepared to go on the firing line for Jesus; men for whom there is a crying need in the world today; men who are able to fill in the gap for God; men who have grown in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man; developed physically, mentally, and spiritually.

CLEVELAND GIANTS WITH- DRAW FROM PACIFIC COAST WINTER LEAGUE Claimed Dissatisfied with Sehed- uled Dates at Los Angeles Park LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 9. (PONB).—N._'S. Cobb's classy ag- gregation of National,League ball players assembled on the coast under the name of the Cleveland Giants and who have been parti- cipating in the Pacific Coast Win- ter League games between the two white and two colored teams of the league, is said upon good authority to have withdrawn from the ‘winter league. A. verification of the report was not obtainable as we go to press. If the report is true it is pre- suméd that the rift came about through the objection of the Giants to the number of dates scheduled for them at the White Sox Park in Los Angeles. It is claimed ‘they wanted more dates at this park than the schedule provided and that it was impossible to make the switch. When two teams are playing the Los Angeles Park, the othe: two teams have been ‘playing ir the Orange County Park about 5 miles from Los Angeles and in a community that does not offer within 75 per cent of the attend- ‘ance enjoyed in Los Angeles. On December 1 and 2 the Phil adelphia Giants. played the All. ‘Stars (white) a three games se- a at the, White Sox Park play- on a 15-25 percentage agree- ‘ment, with a double-header Sun- day. The Hilldale Giants won ‘two out of three games last week. : ARROWS IN PRACTICE DRILLS The Arrows’ basketball team, last year junior champions are steadily rounding into shape by oe. their ability with the strong Community A.

Seemingly they don't care to work any place other than Washington. I guess it's pretty soft for them around here, still I see them pan-handling those who are working. I suppose it is easier for them in Washington during the winter than it is in New York. Business is picking up at all playhouses in and around Washington. I do believe if we are able to give the public what they want they will support us—but who knows what they want? Thet cause of the increase in business in and around Washington is due to the fact that we are getting a little better and different class of shows. One would think that this would encourage the actors to get something new, but the only thing they get new is the "over night John Bally." It is too bad they have no more ambition. I hope to be shooting on a new picture soon. We are now getting ready to make a colored picture that I feel sure will excel anything that the race has produced. This is not saying so much because we have never had a real great picture, we have had only fair ones. I am sure the Colored Players' Film Corporation will give the public a thrill in this next picture. Therefore, I wish to invite all pretty brownskin girls to send in their photographs, as we want the most beautiful brownskins available for this picture.

The theatre has been completely renovated; featuring a gilded ceiling, and flowered side-walls. The refinishing work has been so complete that the theatre has all appearance of a brand new house, both inside and out. The management has hoped to create a homelike atmosphere for the Broadway Theatre; and these recent improvements start them in the right direction. James F. Lee is the theatre's manager.

VIRGINIAN INCLUDE POEMS BY NEGROES·IN HIS BOOK "Black and White," a book published by J. C. Byars, an editor of the Washington Times newspaper was placed on the market Tuesday. The book is a compilation of verses written by Washingtonians and includes works of four locally known Negroes representing four different walks of life. Lewis Alexander, a student, Miss Angelina Grimke, retired Dunbar High School teacher, Walter E. Hawkins, railway mail clerk and Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, widow of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, a clerk at the Department of Labor are the Negroes whose works have been selected. Mr. Byars, in an interview Wednesday, told the Tribune reporter that he was surprised at the class of work turned out by members of our group and that he has tried to show his appreciation -in the book. "I am a Virginian by birth," declared Mr. Byars, "and it was somewhat of a discovery for me to learn that such a degree of refinement characterized present day Negro writing." The author was born in Bristol, Va., near the border of Tennessee. His parents were slaveholders. U Street near 14th CONGRESS IS PETITIONED TO ABOLISH ALL SEGREGATION Bearing petitions declared to carry the signature of thousands of persons throughout the country, two delegations of the Equal Right's League and National Race Congress or America went to the Capitol Tuesday to present to Congress a plea for equal rights legislation. This action was decided upon Monday at a conference of leaders at a session held at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, of which Rev. W. H. Jernagin is pastor. Thomas H. R. Clarke of Washington, chairman of the League's federal petition commission, headed the delegation to the House of Representatives, which consisted of Rev. George Frazier Miller, of New York; W. P. Dabney, of Ohio; William Monroe Trotter, Rev. H. B. Taylor, James L. Neil and Rev. S. B. Robinson. Mr. Trotter presented the delegation to Representative F. Dallinger of Massachusetts who presented to present the petition in the House. Rev. William H. Jermagain, vicepresident-at-large, headed the delegation which called upon Senator Frederick Gillatt of Massachusetts, and requested presentation of the petition to the Senate. Other members of this delegation were Rev. Thomas S. Harten of New York, Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. H. T. Medford, Rev. W. A. Taylor, and Maurice W. Spencer, all of Washington. The petition said in part: "We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, seeking the abolition of the civil and political disabilities under which millions of American citizens live because of African extraction and descent, do petition your honorable body to abolish by appropriate legislation, color segregation in interstate travel, federal employment, in federal territory and elsewhere; to provide adequate educational facilities for colored youth in the South, and give Federal aid to southern education; to end the military occupation of Haiti as a violation of the Declaration of Independence, of International law, of the right of the Haitian people to maintain their independent national existence, to carry out your sworn obligation to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution, and to afford protection of life by passage of a federal law against lynching and mob violence."

Anyone could find fault with most anything, but why pick out the bad parts of a thing which is on the whole very good. It's the final impression which counts, and I doubt if anyone left the Howard Theatre this week without saying that it's a good show that's playing there. The hit of the show, to my mind, is the guitar plucking of Teddy Blackman. He plays whatever numbers the audience calls for, and when I viewed the show Monday night, he rendered in most commendable fashion, "Muddy Waters," "Blue Heaven," and "Just Another Day." With "Muddy Waters," he almost brought the bal- DUNBAY THEATRE R. H. MURRAY, Mgr.

Someone in the upper story got happy and shouted, "Oh, do it, hot papa," and little Teddy proceeded to "do it" mor'n'mor'. Adelaide Hall, hailed by some critics as the possible successor to the late Florence Mills, has, without a doubt, a beautiful voice. She is handcapped in this show, however, by the selection of songs which do not lend themselves so well to yodeling. Her voice is of the type which is peculiarly adaptable to that unique form of singing. However, "Sing Me Baby Song," is not the kind of a song to yodel. She gets away, however, with the songs she does sing. Billy Higgins and Sandy Burns, the black-face comedians, as ever, are good. No one would dispute the fact that they are funny. And, as a relief to the Howard patrons, Billy and Sandy have brought some new stuff this time.

Then, there’s the beautiful chorus. Florenz Ziegfeld must have helped Clarence Robinson, the producer, to select the girls. Form and beauty, galore, is upheld in each one of the chorines. And dance! oh, my, yes. Especially did I like the fencing scene, when the pretty little “devils,” or “mantics” as they are billed, appeared in their scanty pirate costumes and displayed the art of the sword. Speaking of costumes, they were present in abundance, variety, and beauty. The scenery, too, except for the bare walls displayed in the bedroom scene, were good. In fact, to go back to my introduction, one's impression of the whole show is that it's a mighty good one.

The valet seeks revenge by making Menjou appear as a cheat when he is playing cards and the subsequent results from one of the most entertaining pictures that has been shown in a long while. Dorothy Gish in "Madame Pompadour" supported by Antonio Moreno will be the main attraction on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 13 and 14. "Madame Pompadour" is a story of France in the eighteenth century. Filmed amid the luxury and intrigue of the most reckless court in history, "Madam Pompadour" the favorite of Louis XV of France ruled millions. Kings listened to her every word. Armies took their orders from her. Nations trembled at her frown. And yet, all she wanted was the love of a poor poet who—but see this richly mounted tale of love and romance in eighteenth century France. "Running Wild" a picture dedicated the brow-beaten benedicts of the world will be shown at the Republic on Thursday and Friday, December 15 and 16. Mary Brain and W. C.

Then see this picture of a man who was down but not out and how he found himself and became the dominating factor in his family. On Saturday, December 17—for that day only—"The Life of an Actress" with Barbar Bedford will be the feature attraction. On the stage, there will be talent at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30 o'clock. "JUDGEMENT OF THE HILLS" AT THE LINCOLN THEA- ATRE NEXT WEEK The screen attraction for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, December 11, 12, and 13, at the Lincoln Theatre will be "Judgement of the Hills," featuring Virginia Valli and Frank Darro. This is a tempestous melodrama of the Kentucky hill country. It shows the primitive passions of these hillmen. It is a picture that deals with these people from an unusual standpoint—that being of the hardships and feuds that exist among these people, whose only thoughts are of the little world among the hills in which they live, hence when the World War broke out and the whole world was in misery they thought that it was not their feud and wander on in their ways. "Judgement of the Hills" is an epic of emotion, throbbing with the heart beats of a boy's love and tense with a woman's devotion. On Wednesday and Thursday, December 14 and 15, the screen attraction will be "Breakfast at Sunrise" featuring that ever-captivating young star, Constance Talmadge.

Supporting Miss Talmadge is Don Alvastrio, Bryant Washburn, Alice White and Marie Dressler. On Friday and Saturday, December 16 and 17, the screen attraction will be "Lone Eagle" starring Barbara Bedford and Ramond Keen. This is a daring, thrilling epic of the air, and is dedicated to those men of bravery such as Byrd and Lindbergh. While it is a picture of the United States air forces over seas, at the same time there is a pleasing love story through its many thrilling and daring scenes. On Saturday only as an added attraction will be seen the Universal circus chapter play, "The Trail of the Tiger," featuring Jack Dougherty and Jack Moore. IRVIN C. MILLER'S ALL NEW REVUE AT THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK For the week beginning Monday matinee, December 12th, the stage attraction will be "Blue Baby" which is an all new and fascinating revue by that famous producer, Irvin C. Miller. In this production, Mr. Miller struck a new note in musical comedy production. The old favorites are headed by Elizabeth Smith, whose work with her ukelele will long be remembered. There is also that famous trio composed of the lovable Billie Young, Nona Marshal, and Teddy Ferguson. In addition to these already mentioned will also be seen Edgar Matin, Percy Tolson, Albert Jackson, and a snappy, peppy, chorus of ten petite and handsome blue babies. On the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen as an added attraction Leon Errol, Broadway's most famous funmaker and Dorothy Mackall in the "Lunatic at Large." This is one of the funniest films of all times and mingles with the hilarious comedy, plenty of thrills, a mad leap from a dirigible, an explosion that blows Errol, through a wall. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the screen attraction will be "Stolen pleasure" featuring Helene Chadwick and Dorothy Revier. This is a production that has to do with cheating sweethearts, husbands or wives. There is plenty of action amid the dramatic and thrilling series of marital mixups. It is a story of foolish husbands and wives in the clutch of the green-eyed monster, jealousy. On Friday, the usual midnight ramble will be held at which time the management assures the patrons of two and one half hours of real entertainment. Reserved seat tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre n Saturday of the week before the show. Broadway Theatre OPENING WEDNESDAY EVENING DECEMBER 14, 5 P.
