THOMPSON The grand jury last Friday returned an indictment charging George Herbert Thompson, 23 years old, with first degree murder for the killing of Elsie R. Bowen, 19 years old, on October 31 last. The two had been sweethearts and quarrelled over another man. Miss Bowen dismissed Thompson, telling him that she never wanted to see him again. When several attempts at reconciliation failed, Thompson traded a blue suit of clothes and an overcoat for a .38 caliber pistol. He warned Miss Bowen twice of his intention to kill her. She told him each time that the privilege was his. While the two were alone in the house of her sister at 1010 Kenyon street, northwest, he shot her in the right breast and fled, leaving her dying on a davenport. He surrendered to the police on November 1. The grand jury ignored a charge of robbery against Alberta Kelly. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains.

OLD FLIM-FLAMS $30 FROM WOMAN A man between 50 and 65 years of age paid visits on Monday, and Tuesday of this week to 423 I street, southwest, and, having accomplished his purpose, made off with $30 which Miss Elsie Harrison of that address gave him to bury her uncle. On Monday evening the man, a description of whom has been furnished police, called at the I street house. He asked for Miss Harrison.

He told her that he needed $30 to buy the deceased a suit of clothes and to purchase railroad tickets to Winston-Salem, N.C., to which place, he declared her uncle had expressed a desire to have his body taken. Miss Harrison did not have the money at that time, but told the man to come back. He did. Early Tuesday morning the swindler returned to Miss Harrison's house.

Madden of Chicago. Ill., declared that he will be a candidate for re-election this year when interviewed by The Tribune Thursday and asked for a statement with reference to the candidacy of Chandler B. Owen. Mr. Madden would make no further comment. CHICAGO, Ill.—Chandler Owen, editor The Chicago Bee, a weekly newspaper, and former editor of The Messenger Magazine, has announced his candidacy for election to Congress. Mr. Owen seeks the seat now held by Martin B. Madden of the First Congressional District of Illinois. A committee of 1000 for "Chandler Owen for Congress" has been formed. In this district the preponderance of Negroes makes the election of a Negro highly probable if the Negroes would concentrate on a candidate. The announcement of Mr. Owen's candidacy has aroused political interest in this section. It is generally conceded that whenever Negroes in Chicago get ready to send a Negro to Congress they can do so. Mr. Owen has attracted to him a number of prominent Negroes. A determined light similar to the one waged this year by Fred R. Moore, alderman elect, of the New York Age will be waged. The first time a Negro decided to oppose Mr. Madden was in February, 1924, when Hon. N. S. Taylor announced himself as a candidate in the primaries. In June of the same year, the Democrats made an attempt to get Attorney Earl B. Dickerson to accept the Democratic nomination and oppose Mr. Madden but Attorney Dickerson declined. Mr. Madden has been elected continuously since the 59th Congress. He is chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee of the House. He has been in ill health for the past few years. RABBIT BARELY MISSES SHOOTING HUNTER Raymond H. Murray, member of the Murray Brothers Printing Co. and manager of the Dumbar Theatre, barely missed making his head a target during a hunting trip yesterday. Poking around in a clump of bushes, Mr. Murray evidently forgot that he did not have the safety lock on his gun. Burrel up, the hunter thrust his gun first in one place and then another in an effort to uncover the hiding place of a certain rabbit—which rabbit, like "Mohy Dick," has been eluding Mr. Murray for the past two seasons. One of the branches on the bush (or the tail of the rabbit) hung in the trigger of the gun and the cartridge exploded, the charge passing through his hat. Mr. Murray is recovering from shock. FIVE ARE SAVED FROM DEATH BY D. C. FIREMEN Trapped in a two-alarm blaze at their home 1311 Corcoran street, Monday night, four women and a man were rescued by firemen who swung from windows of an adjacent house and helped them to safety. The fire started on the first floor and aided by the wind, had gained much headway before eighteen pieces of fire apparatus could get it under control. Damage was estimated at several hundred dollars. Nalda Richee, 19, Valencia Mirante, 19, Adelaide Reynolds, 18, Alberta Turner, 21 and Charles Johnson were the persons caught on the third floor of the house. Newspapers to Act as Hosts to Unfortunate Children Friday The boys who are assigned to the Industrial Home School at Blue Plains, D.C., and all children under the care of the Welfare Board of the District of Columbia, will be tendered a theatre party at the Republic Theater, Friday, December 30. The party is being arranged for these children by the three Negro papers of the city in co-operation with Mrs. Emmett J. Scott and other women who are interested in doing charitable work. A similar party was given these boys and girls last year at the Republic Theatre. Each child will be given a bag of candy which will be donated by the merchants of the city. Bus transportation will be furnished the children from Blue Plains. Approximately 500 children are to be entertained. BILL FOR RELIEF OF UNIDENTIFIED WAR VET INTRODUCED IN HOUSE BILL FOR RELIEF OF UNIDENTIFIED WAR VET INTRODUCED IN HOUSE A bill for the relief of Albert Armstrong, a patient at the Tulare collisions Hospital, was introduced in the House on last Saturday by Representative Thomas S. Butler, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Naval Affairs committee. This bill seeks to make Armstrong eligible for compensation under the world war adjusted compensation act. Armstrong is a walf of the world war. He is suffering from shell shock and tuberculosis. According to a number of affidavits, Armstrong enlisted in Pennsylvania. He was sent overseas with the Three Hundred and Sixty-Seventh Infantry of the Ninety-second division. His company was commanded by Capt. Hamilton S. Fish, who is now a member of Congress from New York. He was found in a shell hounded and shell shocked. He was returned to the United States as a casualty. After he had sufficiently recovered, he was honcrably discharged. Two Armstrongs? The records of the War Department show that this Albert Armstrong was discharged, another Albert Armstrong was drafted and sent to a southern training camp. He deserted, was apprehended, courtmartialed, found guilty of desertion, and sentenced to serve one In an address at a monthly meeting in the library of the Dunbar High School, Monday afternoon, Prof. Charles M. Thomas, for 33 years a teacher, scored the teachers of Negro youth for their failure to teach American and world history so as to create civic consciousness in colored youth. Insisting that it is a mistake to begin history with the past, but that it should begin with the present, and run back to the causes, Prof. Thomas recited in brief the early history of the establishment of schools for colored children in the District of Columbia and asked the teachers to accept their heritage at its face value. Dr. Otelia Cromwell, head of the department, Messrs. Brewer, Neval H. Thomas and Saunders also teachers of the social sciences, found much in the address to commend. MRS. FLORENCE W. WISE BURIED Funeral services for Mrs. Florence W. Wise were held last Tuesday afternoon from the residence of her brother, Charles P. Harris, 424 Q street, northwest. Mrs Wise died on Friday, December 16. Her parents, William S. and Mrs. Virginia Ann Harris; her husband, Randolph T. Wise, and four brothers, Verling, William, Raymond and Charles Harris survive her. year in the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kun, and to be dishonorably discharged from the service at the completion of his sentence. Because of his broken health, this Armstrong was sent to the Walter Reed Hospital for treatment. After remaining there for awhile, the commandant of the Walter Reed Hospital recommended to the Secretary of War that the prison sentence of this Albert Armstrong be commuted to time served because of his physical condition. The Secretary of War approved this recommendation, and this Armstrong was discharged. Under the terms of the adjusted compensation act, dishonorably discharged soldiers are not entitled to compensation because of physical disabilities. This case has puzzled the officials of the War Department and of the Veterans Bureau. They do not know whether there were two Albert Armstrongs in the service or whether Armstrong, the honorably discharged soldier, and Armstrong the deserter, are one and the same person. The War Department unofficially admits that there is a mass of incomplete records and that it was possible for a soldier to be returned from overseas and honorably discharged with his mind deranged by shell shock and to be drafted into the service. STAGE MANAGER AT LINCOLN IS INJURED Jesse (Jackie) Hobson, 22, 1337 Wallach place, popluar young stage manager of the Lincoln Theatre, is off duty as result of injuries received during an inspection of curtains at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon. While investigating to discover the cause of a hang which hindered the raising of the curtain, Hobson's hand was caught between the pulley cable and head block. Jerking his hand out of the swiftly turning block, Hobson saved himself of a most dangerous and painful injury. He sustained a dislocated left shoulder and a badly crushed fifth finger. The accident occurred during an inspection by the fire marshal and a inspector from the Bureau of Standards. It is believed that the authorities may pass favorable the present curtain at the Lincoln Theatre and thus give A. E. Lichtman, proprietor, permission to stage road shows there. This will make the purchase of a steel or double asbestos curtain, for which the patrons have been waiting, unnecessary. Hobson will return to work Monday. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. The Board of Education has dropped the question of whether it should continue to employ married women as teachers in the public schools. The board at its meeting Wednesday afternoon received and filed a report of the referendum which it conducted on this question. No further action will be taken until this question is raised anew. This problem had been before the board since March 2. The question was originally raised by citizens' associations. The board therefore decided to ask citizens' associations, parent-teacher associations, civic clubs and similar organizations for their views on this question. Returns were received from seventy sources. Fifty-seven organizations favored married women as public school teachers and as normal school students. Seven were opposed. Six expressed no definite opinion. A further analysis of returns shows that twenty-three organizations held that efficiency or merit and not the marital status of a teacher should be the guide. Thirteen favored married women without giving their reasons. Seven favored equal rights, or no sex discrimination, or no "blanket ban." Two advocated the employment of married women with a preference to be given the single woman. Two held that the problem is one for the board to decide. Of the seven opposing views, four came from organizations directly concerned with divisions 10 to 13, the colored schools. Opportunity for Readers to Spread Xmas Happiness It is not too late to bring joy to some unfortunate kiddie who has dreams of a giftless Christmas. For the last two weeks the Tribune published letters from kiddies whose parents were in such circumstances as to prevent them from epecting a visit from Santa. from people who read these letters, have been received by the Tribune from people who read these letters. These people informed us that they had taken advantage of the opportunity to play Santa Claus to the little ones, whose appeals were so pathetic. One letter that we published was from Paul Lawrence Graves, a motherless boy who has five sisters and a brother. He wrote, "anything will do, as I am in need." His address is R.F.D. No. 314, Ballston, Va. A mother of eleven children lives at 801 46th street, northeast. A letter signed by four of the kiddies was also published. Another kiddie is William Pitts, 711 K street, northwest, who is hoping that Santa will visit him. He is twelve years old. One letter from 132 Sherman avenue, Seaside Heights, N.J., says "We are ten children. Our mother and father are too poor to buy anything." It would be better to have these kiddies have a late Christmas than no Christmas at all. The letter was signed by Phyllis, Jerome, Roger, and Gather Worrell. From Margaret Busy, 2322 H street comes a letter: "Dear Santa: I would like to have some clothes and a pair of shoes. My mother would like to have a nice dinner for Christmas. Will you help her please, because she is sick." Another letter comes from Howard Monroe, eight years old who has a seven-year-old brother. His mother is sick and his father has just recovered from an illness. His address is 1235 New Jersey avenue southeast. You, of our readers who have been so considerate as to help the kiddies who have appealed to you through this paper, we feel sure that Christmas for you will be a peaceful as well as a merry one.

MITCHELL SUED FOR AN ACCOUNTING Arthur W. Mitchell, president of the Mutual Housing Company, 1232 U street, northwest, is charged with fraud in a suit filed through Attorneys Houston and Houston in the District Supreme Court on Monday. The plaintiffs in the suit are: George W. Beasley, a Navy Department clerk, 926 T street, northwest, and Thomas Frazier, an undertaker, 723 T street, northwest. Besides Mr. Mitchell, the Rev. William H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, and Captain Harry O. Atwood, military science instructor in the colored high schools, are named as defendants. The basis of the suit is an alleged secret service stock agreement which Mr. Mitchell and other promoters of the company are said to have entered into. Incorporated in 1920 The company was incorporated September 17, 1920, under the laws of the state of Delaware. Mr. Mitchell paid all the fees incident to incorporation and made payment of $1,000, the amount of capital stock required before the company could do business, out of the funds of the company, it is said. He has appropriated to his own use the benefit of this stock payment, it is alleged, and has never completely accounted for promotion expenses. The plaintiffs say that they had no knowledge upon which to base a suit until November 12 last when Frazier disclosed a secret service stock agreement, repented of his part and consented to be a plaintiff. An accounting, cancellation of stock, a receivership, an injunction, discovery and general relief are asked for by the plaintiffs. UNDER GRADUATE OF LAW SCHOOL PASSES VA.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS Board ENDERSON IS D BY ORDER OL BOARD By a vote of 5 to 2, the Board of Education at its meeting last Wednesday afternoon lifted the suspension of Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the colored high schools. Mr. Henderson is under indictment, charged with conspiracy to use the mails to defraud in connection with the so-called "diploma mills." The indictment charges that Mr. Henderson, Dr. Gilbert Patton Brown, white, and Miss Ethel G. Wood, white, offered through the mails to secure charities for schools and colleges, hospitals and sanitariums, to teach law, theology, commerce, business, elocation, drama, therapeutics and other subjects and to confer any and all degrees. Mr. Henderson was suspended by President Charles F. Carusi five minutes before the meeting of the board on December 7. His suspension was recommended by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou and First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. The Board of Education at that meeting approved the suspension. Injustice Charged At the meeting Wednesday, Henry E. Gilligan moved to lift the suspension. Mr. Gilligan declared that the board had done Mr. Henderson an injustice in suspending him. Mr. Carusi took issue with Mr. Gilligan. He declared that he did not think the Board of Education should sit as a court of appeals over the grand jury for the District of Columbia. He took the view that it is the duty of the board to suspend any employee of the school system who is indicted for a felony. "An indictment by the grand jury is not a conviction by any means." Mr. Gilligan said in reply. He declared that he did not believe in the policy of suspending any officer or employee because he has been indicted but that each case should be handled on its own merits. An effort to refer the case to the committee on complaints and appeals was opposed by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, chairman of that committee. The overt act charged in the indictment against Mr. Henderson, Dr. Johnson declared, would not have occurred if the athletic director had not been carrying out the instructions of the board to sever his connections with the so-called "diploma mills." The motion to lift the suspension was seconded by the Rev. F. I. A. A. Bennett. The board was polled. The vote was as follows: Yeas—Henry E. Gilligan, Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins, Mrs. William C. MeNeill, and Dr. H. Hayden Johnson. Nays—Dr. H. B. Learned and Charles F. Carusi. TIBBS DIVORCE CASE CONTINUED The divorce suit of Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, against her husband, Rey W. Tibbs, has again been postponed. The case was to have come up for trial Wednesday, December 21. Because of the time required to finish a case then before Justice Hitz in equity court, the Tibbs' case went over until January. The period granted the two prominent musicians for a reconciliation expired Wednesday. Neither party would agree to settle out of court. This means that the case will now come to trial and thereby give all of the sordid details that are bound to come up. TWO. SATURDAY IS THE LAST SHOPPING DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Dr. Goldsberry claims that there are at least ten cities in Michigan with a colored population of from 4000-10,000 practically without any colored professional men. He claims that many professional failures are due to faulty location. He claims that Howard men do not come out that way and urges medical students in the upper classes to consider that location as a probability.

Policemen W. C. Curtis and F. L. Gravely of the fourth precinct apprehended Robinson at Third street and Maine avenue, on a charge of transporting and illegal possession. Some of the evidence was destroyed when he broke a jar in the street. After his arrest he was identified by Herman Waters (white) of 311 D street, southwest, as the man who had attempted to hold him up at the point of a pistol, but was unsuccessful when the policemen approached. He rushed to his car which was standing nearby, but he could not get away. The auto had liquor in it. According to police, Robinson made a break for liberty and Patrolman Curtis struck him with his fist. The man, Gravely declares, then reached for his hip pocket and the officer was compelled to use his black jack. Curtis was treated at the police clinic by Dr. Allen for abrasion of the right hand. Robinson, taken to Emergency Hospital in number 4 p.trol, was attended by Dr. Atkins for scalp contusion. Robinson is 24 years old and lives at 355 I street, southwest. The pistol was found at Third and Maine avenue, on a vacant lot, by Herman Waters.

YOUTH MOVEMENT TO AID PULLMAN PORTERS YOUTH MOVEMENT TO AID PULLMAN PORTERS NEW YORK CITY—A youth movement comprised of young graduate and under-graduate fraters and sorors, social workers, doctors and lawyers and the junior society leaders, was formed in the office of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Friday evening, December 16th. The purpose of the movement is to vigorously back the Fullman Porters' fight for living wage and better working conditions. According to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, this movement marks probably the most promising turn in the economic life of the race. He indicated that he plans the organization of similar youth movements in Washington, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and other points. UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG NE GROES GROWING, SAYS URBAN LEAGUE "Not in recent years," says the National Urban League, through its most recent bulletin, of which T. Arnold Hill is director, "has there been exerted so much effort to find jobs for Negroes with so little success." According to the bulletin, efforts to meet this situation have been made in New York where a committee of white and colored citizens held a meeting at the Park Ave. Community Church. Appeas were made to the United Cigar Stores, the United-Electric Light and Power Co., the New York Edison Co., and the New York Telephone Co., with the hope of securing employment for colored people in capacities in which these companies do not employ them. Similar ventures were made in Milwaukee and Springfield, Ill. In spite of these happenings, unemployment exists and increases. Two steel plants in Milwaukee have closed temporarily, thereby forcing into unemployment 125 colored men. In Pittsburgh, where mines are operated on a half-time basis, some 4,000 colored miners have been affected. In several cities, there have been replacements of colored by white help. The other side of this picture is reflected in St. Louis, where many colored building tradesmen have found employment in the tornado zone. In Chicago, the opening of the Savoy Ball Room was the occasion for the employment of nearly 100 men and women. In Baltimore, a cleaning and dyeing concern recently hired colored workers for the first time. From many parts of the South, reports indicate that there is practically no change from the quiet conditions that existed at the beginning of the fall. held in bondage in an African protectorate controlled by the State of Sierra Leone will be freed from their shackles. It is claimed that the holders of these slaves are Negro chiefains. It is also claimed that educated Negroes have been among those who have opposed this wholesale liberation of the slaves.

School By Charles P. Harris CHRISTMAS LESSON Scripture Basis: Luke 2:8-20. Golden Text: “Thou shalt eall His name Jesus; for he shall save His people from their sins.” Matt. 1:210 ARC SROUGAL OF EMC Leeson The coming of Jesus in the flesh is the central fact in the plan: of redemption. So important was it that it had been prophetically foretold in minutest detail centn- tics before it came to pass. The name by which Jesus was td be called ,the identity and_ virginity of his mother: and the city of his birth were among these minute de- tails prophetically foretold. Today’s lesson concerns itself with the fulfillment of these pro- phecies relating to the coming of our Lord. Oriental shephérds who were minding theiz flock in the uplands near Bethlehem were the first re- cipients of the good news of this glorious fulfillment. While they tended their flock by night they were suddenly amazed and awed by an intense brightness which re- vealed the glory of the Lord. An angel appeared in the midst of the brightness and the shepherds “were sore afraid.” The angel told the afrighted shepherds to “fear not” and assured them that it was “good tidings of great joy” which was about to be delivered unto them. Then followed the glorious announcement: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” An angelic chorus then ap- peared and set the plains athrill with Heavenly music as they sang, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will toward men.” « Today we study the facts sur- rounding the birth of the Prince of Peace, Could any study be more appropriate to the times? We are living in an age of a peace- hungry world, From every walk of life comes the ery for peace. “Industry is calling for industrial peace; commeree is asking for com- mercial peace; politics is calling for political peace; families are crying for domestic peace; churches are praying for interdenomination- al peace; races are begging for interracial peace, and nations are demanding international peace.” In the midst of this universal ery for peace could anything ‘be more ap- propriate than to pause to study and celebrate the birth of the ‘Prince af Peace? MERGER PLANS FAIL Plans looking toward the merg- ing of three Baptist bodies in the District came to a halt last Tues- day when representatives from two of the bodies failed to put in an appearance at the meeting. sched- uled to be held at the Zion Baptist Church of southwest, at 11 am. of that day. The Mt. Bethel Baptist Convention, the District General Baptist Convention, and the Union Baptist Convention were the bodies concerned in, the proposed merger, but representatives from the first two named bodies failed to put in their appearanec at the meeting. Rev. Tyler is the Mt. Bethel presi- dent, Dr. W. H. Jernagin the Gen- oral’ Baptist . president, and Dr. Aquila Sayles is president of the Union Convention. TO SING FOR PRESIDENT Members from several local col- ored church choirs and school glee clubs have been invited to sing in the ceremony accompanying the Christmas tree lighting by Bresi- dent Coolidge which is to take place on Saturday, December 24, at 6:30 p.m. The exercises will be held on the park back of the Treas: ury building.

CHURCH HISTORY MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, FREDERICKSBURG, VA. Mt. Zion Baptist Chureh,. of Fredericksburg, Va., was organized in 1902 by the late Rev. Will. Robinson, who was-for a long tim the moving genius in the religion life of his community, having o: ganized two churches in the san city, the Mt. Zion Baptist and Sh: Joh ‘Baptist New Site and was f° a number of years the pastor of t:. Mother Church on the river, Si Joh Baptist Old Site. But the fou: ‘dation which he so firmly laid 1. now containing a super structure. What was said of that movin, pavilion in the wilderness can be fittingly said of the Zion Church, “Not one stake thereof she!! &s re- moved, neitner shall any of the cords ‘thereof be broken.” A frame structure was erected on March 2, 1902, at a cost of less than $4000. Quite a small. build- ing yet it was what the organiza- tion thought was needed in those days, In this. building treasured by the saints who wended their way to it Sunday after Sunday, were held many services. After about twenty-five years of uninterrupted worship in this building, on Monday, December 28, 1925, one of the most destructive fires ever occurring in this city completely destroyed it. On December, 1925, a meet- ing was held at the home of Wil- liam Lewis and a building commit- tee elected to re-build the church. Not more than five months after the destruction of the old building, the ground was broken for the erection of a new building at the cost of approximately $30,000. Within one year of the time of the razing of the old building by fire the building was roofed and base- ment completed for worship. The new edifice is modern in every par- ticular. It contains a light, cheer- ful Sunday school room, kitchen, and elass room. The basement auditorium is larger than the auditorium of the old church which had no basement. In addition to this it contains on this basement floor lavatories, boiler room, kitchen and robing room. An up-to-date steam heating plant has just been installed and it is said that the entire building ‘will be ready for dedication early in the spring. The Rev. William H. Cary is the pastor of the church, CITY MINISTERS TO HOLD CHRISTMAS SERVICE AT METROPOLITAN CHURCH ‘Under the auspices of the Wash- ington Bible School Association, arrangements have been affected for a special Christmas service to be held at the Metropolitan Bap- tist Church on R street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, on Monday, December 26, at 10 a.m. Rey.

D.D. “For unto us a child is born, un- to us a son is given.” Isaiah 9:6. T believe the best thinker will agree with me when I say the birth of Jesus Christ is the greatest event upon record. It is the grandest link in. the world’s history, which connects the Old and New Testament. “Jesus was surely a child of promise. The greatest history the World has, which is the Bible, ts full of pledges and visions of a coming Saviour. Heaven's richest Benediction upon the head of the ancient Saint, Abraham, contained @ positive promise of a coming Sav- iour, Jesus was both the promised prince of Israel and the pledged re- deemer of the world. Jesus the Son of God was a child of prophecy. All the prophets throughout. the old Bible spoke of a coming Saviour, in fact the prophetic age was bur- dened with the predictions of a deliverer who would come and free all_men. 2 Ancient sages had been singing for centuries of a brighter and bet- ter day that would dawn in the full- ness of time upon their wretched race. Jesus, God's son, was born a help- CHRISTMAS AT SHILOH Christmas -will be a happy and crowded season at Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church (\‘Strangers’ Home”), corner 9th and P Streets, N.W._ ‘The Sunday School Christ: was ‘Tree and Entertainment, will take place at 8:00 o'clock, Friday night. i At 5:00 o'clock, Sunday morning, December 25, Christmas service will be held under the direction of pastor and the choir.’ Dr. Waldron will deliver a short and interesting sermon on “The Birth of Christ,” and the choir will sing.

The Sunday School chil- ‘dren will take the leading roles. The first week of January. is scheduled as a week of prayer with the following speakers: Dr C. A, Thompson, Dr. W. W. Me- Cary, Rev. E. W. Williams, Dr. F. J. Grimke, and Dr. L BE. John- ee Jess babe. The night of the birth came silently on, in all its oriental loveliness. The maker of the natural and supernatural, the visible and-invis- ble brought divinity in touch with humanity, lowered heaven to earth, joined Theos to Anthropos, disobey- ed and reobeyed the Logos, and caused. a new star to appear over Bethlehem. Here the Holy Virgin gave birth to the world’s great re- deemer, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger. Here prophecy was truly fulfilled “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” Our Saviour and Redeemer, found his first bed among the beasts, and his-first cradle among the poor, However, despite the humble manner in which the extraordinary child made his advent into the world, the glory of his coming was not kept concealed. The holy angels soon made known to some honest shepherds, who ‘vere on the plains-of Bethlehem, he appearance of the long expected Messiah. After hearing the angel’s song, the delighted shepherds took counsel together and started for Bethlehem. On their return, they spread the story of this marvelous night. All human beings should com- memorate the Birth of Christ with joy and, thanks. Our Lord’ and Christ belongs to all races and is loved and understood by one as well as another. He made of one blood all people. He does not belong to any age. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Because he is universal and belongs to no age, He is the ideal for the human race. Therefore, the’ day of his birth should be honored with gifts of love, and songs of joy, by old and young in all lands and in all ages. Joy to the poor, because he came to make them rich, joy to the rich, for he came to make them richer, joy to the simple, because he came te make them wise unto salvation, joy to the wise for he came to give them true wisdom, joy to the mourning and sorrowing ones be- cause he came to comfort and bind up their broken hearts, joy to the guilty, condemned and despairing ones, for he came to bear the sins of many and give himself a ransom for all men, and make all human beings free, Thank God, the flood of joy which flowed from the lowly man- get of Bethlehem is wide enough to encompass the earth with its glory, rich enough to bless every human soul with its mercy, deep enough to roll on through all time and over boundless eternity, and truth enough to save every believ- ing soul in Heaven.

CHURCH NEWS (Continued on page 10) THE SPORT REVIEW City Football Championship at Stake Christmas Day Carlisle Makes Debut Against Atlantic City Vandals Sam's Scripts The author of this column is in receipt of several letters from readers of the page asking for more of the "Scripts" and "Reflector" articles. Beginning with the first issue of the New Year, the Tribune will each week carry both "Sam's Scripts" and "The Reflector." Much commendation is due the kids who form the Federal basketball team. Instead of crying "We can't gonna play," during the game with the Elks last Friday night they went through with scarcely a squawk. The referee didn't give 'em a thing to appreciate. Hats off to Tommy Jackson! he deserves no little praise for the splendid sportsmanship he displayed Friday. A little fellow of the Federal quint weighing a scant 130 pounds slipped his foot between the legs of the Elk guard on two occasions causing that worthy to hit the floor with a slam twice within a very few minutes of each other. Both times, however, Tommy—who by the way is naturally rough and when he wants to is fully capable giving as much, if not more than he takes—got up without a whimper. The affair was closed. Tommy did not try to retaliate. Well whaddaya know about that? The North Carolina College for Negroes where the American Collegiate Athletic Association held its conference last year has joined the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Many critics have been of the opinion for some time that the A. C. A. A. is purely an organization on paper, and now that the North Carolina College has taken such action, the writer is forced to the belief that the organization Howard University officials are sponsoring "jes ain't in it." Of the three local teams the Associated Basketball Clubs attempted to enlist, the Carlisle Field Club was the one to accept. It should be a good thing for basketball here, that such teams as are in the league will be seen in action here. Ted Yates is surely some fast worker. He blew in town last Sunday and in the course of less than a day had negotiated to play Howard. Community, the Elks and the Carlisles according to a story he wanted published in the Tribune. A survey revealed that the officials of none of these quints knew anything about any such agreement. Jimie Lee is showing quite some ability as a coach. His team the Federals played rings around the five men in the Elk uniforms last Friday night. I said the five—in uniform. The Four Horsemen—Eddie Davis, "Red" Fowler, "Nappy" Henderson and "Skeeter" Underdown four local athletes matriculating at Virginia Seminary—are in town for the holidays. DUNBAR NIGHTERS HAVE BUSY WEEK DUNBAR NIGHTERS HAVE BUSY WEEK By Horace Landers The Dunbar Night School basketball team has just finished a busy week on the court and they appear none the worst for having done so. On Monday they met the more experienced Shiloh team and entertained them for one hour finishing with a tie score. Tuesday they outclassed "Ike" Kendrick's Federals who were resting for the Elk game 16-12 in another practice game. The Le Rovers were the Dunbar five's victims on Thursday night, the latter taking the starter out and sending in the reserves after the score reached 12-4, the final score was 19-15. However, on Friday night the day school tossers forced the nighters to accept defeat 25-22. In all of the games played so far Captain George Dimes, Howard Armstrong and Herbert Staples have been the mainstays, Howard Armstrong being the high scorer on the team. TEDDY BEARS AND EBENEZER CLASH CONWAY'S CHECKS LAUNCH SEASON IN TITULAR BATTLE AT UNION PARK IN EASTERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE A classic, which to local sport lovers should reach the athletic proportions of a Howard-Lincoln game, finds its way into the hearts of those enthusiasts looking for some place to go Christmas Day. Union League Park, on Sunday will be the scene of the traditional battle between the rival Teddy Bear and Ebenezer clans. The amateur championship of the District of Columbia will be at stake. Though the Ebenezans boast of a previous victory over the Bears, the fact that the Blue and White aggregation handed Willie Mac Murray's crack Roamer machine their only defeat of the season, places them in a position to challenge the church boys, in view of the feat that the Roamers defeated the church boys by a forfeit. Hank Jones' southeast bunch are chesty in the face of their season's record which includes 6-0 and 13-0 wins over the Teddy Bears and Stonewalls, respectively. With such an air of confidence they promise to be tough opponents for Johnnie Bear Mac Tatum's cubs. Teddy Bear officials are predicting a turnout of huge proportions. This game will mark the official curtain on the 1927 grid season—a season which has been decided successful in every respect among amateur teams. A promenade of Christmas styles and fashions worthy of sharing in the performance of the miniature "Tournament of Roses" is anticipated by officials in charge of the affair. All in all the afternoon should be an interesting one. The game starts at 2 p.m. The "Grizzly Bears" including such members of the old Teddy Bear team as Tom Payne, Ben Fells, Johnny Burrell, "Duck" Fells and "Script" Lee will be on hand with a host of fair ones—ardent rooters of the self-styled "Teddy Bear College." WHITW'RTH & CUMMINGS SIGN WITH DAISIES Activity continues to be the key note about the office of the Hilldale Club, with the result that two more Daisies have been added to the Darby bunch. Richard Whitworth, big right-handed hurler and Napoleon Cummings, first baseman have both signed on the dotted line and will report to Bill Francis in April. Charlie Freeman handed over the quill in person to "Chance" Cummings when the Atlantic City athlete visited the Hildale office prior to his departure for Palm Beach where he is engaged in the haberdashery business during the Winter season at the popular Florida resort. To land Whitworth, Freeman was forced to send the parchment on a long journey into the tall timber of the upper Michigan peninsula, as Whit now resides in a little town named Runising on Lake Superior's bleak shore. Singularly enough, both of these players, veterans of the game were members of the 1921 Hilldale team that was captained by Bill Francis. So the get-together conference in the Spring will have all of the ear marks of a re-union in the Hilldale camp. "Chance" Cummings who first made his bow in the baseball circles of the East with the Bacharach Giants n 1916 has been a member of the Atlantic City team over the entire period with the exception of two years. Aside from being with Hilldale in 1921, he was inactive on the diamond the past season after being released by the seashore team. While never regarded as a star Cummings is a capable performer of the consistent type and a student of the game. Dick Whitworth has blazed a swath on the diamond both in the West and East. In 1915 he was the peany hurler of Rube Foster's American Giants and later developed into the star of the staff. In 1920 he joined the Hilldale Club and for two years he mowed them down in the East for Ed Bolden's squad. In 1922 he rejoined the American Giants and early in the season was a victim of a motor mishap, his second in as many years. The following year he left Chicago for the small town of Munsing. Even in the sticks his diamond lore was not to be denied and he pitched the hick town to three straight championships. COMMUNITY TO PLAY PHILADELPHIA The Community A. A. Yellow-jackets will meet the Peerless A. C. at the W. Y. C. A. Philadelphia, Pa., on Tuesday night, December 27. The Peerless team is managed by Jee Wooton, former Armstrong star all round athlete. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor JIMMIE LEE STILL A YELLOWJACKET Contrary to rumor going the rounds last week "Jimmie" Lee is still a member of the Community A. A. basketball team. Much talk marked the star Yellowjacket guard as having quit the Orange and Black team and wilted under the "tempting offers" of William "Slim" Carter, manager of the local Elk Big 5. Lee turned down the Elk contract with a desire to maintain his place on the Community quint. He declares that he will remain with the Yellowjackets. Lee is chief mentor of the fast coming Federal court five and has been offered the job of coaching the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity quint. FEDERAL FALLS BEFORE ELKS Though defeated 28-19 by the Washington Elks in their first basketball game before a paid audience, the Federal Clothing Store quint won a moral victory last Friday night at the Colonnade by completely outplaying their larger and older opponents. Outweighed 10 pounds to the man, the youthful aggregation under the tutorship of Jimmie Lee, star guard of the Community Yellowjackets, showed their heels to the chesty Smithites throughout most of the game. Only in the final stages did the big Purple and White show anything that resembled a decided superiority over the Federal lads. Joe Suter showed most for the Elk team while "Red" Haywood and Beckwith materially aided the cause of the youngsters. Suter contains the horny clan. Elks g f tp Federals g f tp Berry ... 3 1 7 N.

DECEMBER 23. 1921 The Eastern League of Associated Basketball Clubs will be officially opened in Washington at the Lincoln Colonnade next Wednesday when the local Carlisles, Washington's entry, meet the league leading Atlantic City Vandals. The Atlantic City lads, not having suffered a defeat thus far, should make things hot for the Indians when the two quints face in the new formed organization's bow to District fandom. The league of Associated Basketball Clubs was formed for the purpose of doing away with the players who insist on jumping from one team to another for the purpose of "making money." So called "wild-cat tactics" where stars are employed for the purpose of "padding" for certain games will be done away with. The league is composed of clubs representing six cities. The Carlisles represent Washington. Conway's Checks, as they are often called, have undergone much changing since their defeat last month at the hands of the Baltimore Athenians and the Blue and White bosses assert their quint is "ready." Like last season the Carlisles got under way to a poor start, but it will be remembered that in 1827 they closed their court campaign with a victory over the Washington Yankees. The league is to be divided into two halves. The winner of the first half will play the winner of the second half for the Eastern championship. The Eastern champions will then meet the winners of DeHart Hubbard's Western Circuit. The Washington Tribune will publish each week as nearly as possible, activities among the associated clubs. ST. C. DOWNS VANDALS TAKE LEAGUE LEAD NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 22—The St. Christopher's, fresh from their basketball game victory over Asbury Park, and anxious to convince the Doubting Thomases that theirs is a team better by far than the team of ten years ago, swept the Vandals off their feet in the second half of a bitterly, but cleanly fought game. Throughout the first half and for five minutes of the second half, it looked as though the St. Christopher boys could not hit their stride. Billy Baskerville and Knox started the fireworks for the home boys as soon as the opening whistle blew and for quite a while it looked as though the New Yorkers would be hopelessly outclassed. Their famous huddle and hidden ball tactics were useless and Corbin and Company had to resort to a defensive game. The fine defense that Coach Bradford has drilled into his charges was the only reason the Vandals did not clinch the game in the first half. The sudden attack St. Christopher launched in the second period had all the propensities of a landslide. It was devastating and swept the Vandals entirely off their feet. Dick Seay started it; a beauty from the 15-foot line. White sank two in rapid succession; Corbin ducked under the basket and hooked one and the avalanche was on. The game ended 32-24.

Hardly able to catch the ball twice in succession without dropping it, the Peerless A.

The visiting players made 3 field goals and an equal number of fouls to amass their total of 9 points. The local Elkils, however, spent their 40 minutes of game time garnering 25 double-deckers and 4 loopers from the 15-foot mark. Elks g f tp Peerless g f tp Suter,f .9 2 20 C.

DUNBAR BASKETERS IN PRE-SEASON WORKOUTS DUNBAR BASKETERS IN PRE-SEASON WORKOUTS Sixteen candidates for the Dunbar High School basketball squad are working out daily in the act of preparing for the approaching court season. Coach Perkins is sending his men through strenuous practice sessions in the hope of rounding out an aggregation which will be capable of avenging defeats of the 1927 season. With Captain William Berry and four veterans from the last year squad: "Nute" Jackson, Ben Amos, "Mickey" Syphax and Joe Sewell, as a nucleus, the Red and Black mentor hopes to build a winning combination. An unusually stiff schedule is in the making, and with the Poets meeting some of the city's strongest quints, the 1928 court year should be a banner one for the Dunbar cohorts. "Jimmie" Williams of the 1925 Dunbar squad and Arthur Carter a newcomer are to date showing more ability than the rest of the aspirants. The former is a guard of no mean ability and the latter a very capable forward. The schedule for the Dunbar quint follows: January 9, Alpha Pledgees at Dunbar; 12, Comets at Dunbar; 16, Phelps at Dunbar; 18, Community at Dunbar; 20, Wilmington High at Wilmington; 30, H. U Frosh at Dunbar; February 3, Baltimore High at Baltimore; 8, Huntington High at Dunbar; 16, Armstrong at Armstrong; 18, Arrows at Dunbar; 20, Baltimore High at Dunbar; 24, Huntington High at Huntington; 25, Union High at Hampton; 29, Armstrong at Dunbar; March 7, Wilmington High at Dunbar. CARLISE MAKES LEAGUE DEBUT IN NEW YORK NEW YORK CITY. On Friday night, December 23, the Carlisle Club, Washington's entry in the Eastern League, will meet the hitherto undefeated New York entry, St. Christopher's Red and Black machine at the Parish House on 193rd street. This game will incidentally mark the opening of the New Yorkers on their home floor. On paper, the St. Christopher Club looms as the strongest club in the legae by virtue of the 55-19 victory over Ashbury Park. The showing of the Carlisle quint will be watched with interest by the sporting public. Howard Man to Attend Meet of Football Rules Committee Howard Man to Attend Meet of Football Rules Committee The National Collegiate Athletic Association has extended an invitation to the chairman of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control to name a man to represent Howard at the next meeting of the Rules Committee. While it is known through E. P. Davis that the matter was taken up at the last meeting of the Board of Athletic Control, and that several names were forwarded for consideration, the chairman of the board remains uncommunicative regarding the identity of the men. The 1927 Rules Committee consisted of thirteen men representing colleges from every section of the United Stats. The body usually meets the latter part of December or the first week in January. COACH LOUIS WATSON TENDERED CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER YEAR It is believed that at a recent meeting of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control—the date of which has not been learned—several interesting matters were taken up and discussed. While no official report of the progress of the conference has reached this office, faculty members of the council have made statements which verify the writer's belief. A contract tendered Louis L. Watson assures his retention as head coach of football for another year. The old contract, which was for a term of three years, expired at the close of the 1927 football season. Owing to the poor showing of the football team at Howard the past season, much speculation on Coach Watson's retention, was evident among interested partisans. Among other matters—all of which were taken up in the atmosphere of mysterious secrecy which characterizes all meetings of the Board of Athletic Control—it is believed the difference between Wilberforce and Howard was discussed. On Saturday, November 5, the Wilberforce University football team walked off the field and refused to finish the football game being played at the Howard Stadium. Acting on the direction of the control board, Emmett J. Scott, INTER-FRATGAME MONDAY INTER-FRATGAME MONDAY GAME IN HONOR OF THE DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY On Monday, December 26, 1927, the local fraternities of Washington plan a gala reception for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority which convokes here during the Christmas holidays. The reception will begin at 10 a.m. There will be dancing until 2 p.m. It will be remembered from last year that the Kappa Alpha Psi basketball team defeated the Omegas during their annual holiday classic. On Monday, December 26, the Omegas will have their galloping courtmen ready to get back at the "Horserens" who saw them trap in defeat a year ago. The Kappa team is composed of Simpson, Whyte, Cambell, Hill and Hinton. The Omega players are Coates, Berry, Johnson, Thorne, "Line" Johnson and Sallie. ALL COLLEGE FRATERNI TIES AND SORORITIES TO CONVENE XMAS (Continued from page 1) Beginning early Monday with a dawn dance at the Grand Central Hotel, the Phi Beta Sigma calendar carries through an interesting week. Addresses by Dr. M. W. Dogan, president, Wiley College, Prof. Albon L. Holsey, secretary, National Business League and Attorney Arthur W. Mitchell will feature the program. Alpha Phi Alpha Cleveland is ready for the large number of visitors expected to be in the city to attend the twentieth annual conclave of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. The meeting is to be held from December 27 to 31. Convention headquarters have been established at the Mt. Zion Temple. Delegates and friends are expected to arrive Tuesday morning. The executive council of which President W. Cannon is chairman will meet from 10 a.m. to noon. Like in New York and St. Louis, the program includes a number of social events. The public session at Mt. Zion Temple, Wednesday night will be addressed by John W. Hope, president of Morehouse College. Included on the program with Dr. Hope's address is one of welcome to be delivered by Mayor J. D. Marshall. Deckle McClean' and Baxter Goodall, delegates from Beta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will leave Washington accompanied by several Friends Sunday. Alpha Kappa Alpha Cleveland will also be the focus of the tenth annual boutle of the secretary-treasurer refused to pay the visitors $1500 guarantee money. To date that money has not been forwarded the Ohio University. At the last meeting of the Board of Athletic Control, it was definitely decided, according to statements from E. P. Davis, chairman, and Louis L. Watson that Wilberforce would not be on the Blue and White schedule for 1928. Whether the relationship will be resumed or not after next year, remains a question of much doubt. While the 1928 Howard football schedule has not been announced, it is believed that it has been completed and awaits the approval of the Board of Athletic Control. The privacy which surrounds all activity of the Board of Athletic Control at the "Capstone of Negro Education" (as Howard is often referred to) is, it seems to the writer, entirely unnecessary and in some respects foolish. The "Tell it not in Gath" manner in which all members of the board are informed—behind closed doors—that "it must go no farther" seems to be intentional at Howard. Every action of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control seems to be taken with furtive glances at each member lest the news reaches—even the student body. Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. The convention will be held from December 26-31. The St. James Church has been chosen as headquarters for the meeting and delegates are expected to register there upon arrival. Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, president of the International Council of Women, the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs and a generally well-known woman both in the United States and Europe because of her activities in the promotion of peace and work on the diplomatic commissions, will be the principal speaker at the Public Mass Meeting at St. James Church, Tuesday evening. After the public session of the sorority, the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity is giving a reception to which the members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha boule are invited. Among those with intentions of attending the boule are Misses Lillian Johnson, Robbie Turner, Bobbie Scott, R. E. Weatherless and Sadie Daniels as delegates and Miss Caroline E. Welch and Francis Douglass as visitors. They will leave Sunday night. The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity will hold its seventeenth annual conclave from December 25-30 in Detroit, Michigan.

The first play is to be "Meek Mose," described as a play dealing with a phase of Negro life in the oil fields of Texas. As yet, no Broadway Theatre has been obtained, but Mr. Walton contemplates brining his company on a try-out tour to Washington about the middle of next month.
