WOMAN DYING, IS REFUSED ADMITTANCE TO HOSPITAL SUCCUMBS WHILE DOCTOR CALLS Garnet School Bldg. to be Torn Down COMMITS SUICIDE BY HANGING SELF FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 23 SUCCUMBSWHILE DOCTOR CALLS FREEDMEN'S A woman dying from a gunshot wound was refused treatment at the Sibley Memorial Hospital last Saturday night, it was revealed at an inquest in the death of Alberta Williams, 40 years old, at the District morgue on Thursday. The woman was colored. The woman was taken to the Sibley Memorial Hospital by the police in a patrol wagon. Dr. Wilfis B. Morse examined her. He telephoned Freedmen's Hospital, calling for the ambulance to remove the woman. She died within five minutes. At the inquest Dr. Morse stated that the Sibley Memorial Hospital does not take in colored patients. The police are looking for Henry Williams, the husband of the dead woman. A coroner's jury held him responsible for her death. The shooting occurred about 11:45 on Saturday night at 11 M street, northwest. There were no eye witnesses. A son, Grant Williams, and a foster daughter, Mary Dillard, were in the house at the time. Children Left Room According to the testimony, the parents and the son and daughter had just returned from visiting at 64 L street, northwest. The son and daughter left their mother sitting on the bed. Their father was sitting on the davenport. They were undressing. Immediately after they left the room they heard a pistol shot. They fished back into the room. Their mother was lying across the bed bleeding. Grant testified that his father told him his mother had shot herself. He called the police. His father fled. Headquarters Detective Edward J. Kelley stated that he was satisfied from his investigation that the woman's husband had done the killing. She was shot with a .32 caliber pistol. The bullets struck her in the left breast and the left jaw. CHEAP ORIENTAL LABOR IS TRIED BY PULLMAN CHEAP ORIENTAL LABOR IS TRIED BY PULLMAN NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 6. According to a news release sent out by the Associated Press of December 28, 1927, twelve young Chinese were introduced as club car porters on crack trains of the Northwestern Union Pacific Lines. If this is true, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, according to General Organizer A. Phillip Randolph, regards it as not only a challenge to faithful Pullman porters, but to organized labor as well. According to Randolph, the introduction of unorganized oriental laborers into American industries is a threat to American standards of health and decency, since it will tend to press down the American standard of living of organized wage earners to the low level of unorganized oriental laborers. "It is another threat," says Randolph, "for the purpose of intimidating porters who are flocking to the porters' union." The Negro Pullman porter is so psychologically equipped as the result of long association with the American traveling public that he is superior to practically any other group of workers in handling the traveling public in the Pullman service. "This gesture of the company in placing a few Chinese on club cars will no more stop the porters from joining the union than did the placing of a few Filipinos on the club cars when the union began, when the company made an attempt to prevent porters from joining the union," says Randolph. Organizer Randolph also contends that the Orientals are physically unqualified for the porters' jobs and there are not sufficient numbers of Orientals available for them; and besides that the organized American labor movement will stand resolutely against the introduction of unorganized Orientals into American industries.

CONVENTION CANNOT RUN NAT'L TRAINING SCHOOL FIRE CHASES FIVE FROM HOME,FOUR CLAD IN NIGHTIES One woman was injured and several other persons were chased from their home scantily clad during a two-alarm blaze at No. 5 Florida avenue, northeast, early Friday morning. Anna Johnson, 45, who is at Freedmen's Hospital, is suffering from a broken ankle sustained when she was forced to jump from a second story front window to the ground below. Others, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Webster, roomers at the house and James C. Johnson, 16 adopted son of Mrs. Johnson, escaped by climbing onto the roof of a shed which stands beneath their windows. Louis Johnson, the injured woman's husband escaped without injury. The fire, it is believed, started from the explosion of an oil lamp, which was standing in the first floor hallway. The entire household, with the exception of Mr. Johnson are still abed. The man was up at 5 o'clock for the purpose of making fires. According to the story, James Johnson was awakened by the smell of smoke. Getting up, the lad went to his door and opened it to find the hall and stairway enveloped in flames. He slammed his door shut and yelled. The other occupants, aroused, ran to their doors and saw the fire. Mrs. Johnson, in the front room was shut off from the means of escape the others used. While Mr. and Mrs. Webster, occupants of the back room and the boy, James, in the middle room, were able to escape by the way already explained, Mrs. Johnson was forced to take the leap from her window. All left the house in their bed clothes. Mrs. M. L. Bailey, of 3 Florida avenue, a neighbor, took the injured woman into her home and cared for her. Mrs. Johnson was at first attended by Dr. James Stewart, her family physician. At 7 o'clock that evening, she was carried to Freedmen's Hospital where she has been ever since, latest reports being that she is resting easily. The second floor of the Johnson home is completely gutted. A damage approaching $800 was suffered. Mr. and Mrs. Webster are now staying at the residence of Mr. H. T. Renfro, 1718 Sixth street. WASHINTONIAN HURT IN OHIO AUTO ACCIDENT WASHINTONIAN HURT IN OHIO AUTO ACCIDENT Warren R. Brooks, the oldest son of Rev. Walter H. Brooks of this city, met with a serious auto accident on Saturday, December 31, in Akron, Ohio. Mr. Brooks was returning home from work, when the car in which he was riding collided with another car, throwing him through the windshield. He sustained severe cuts on the head over his right eye. His wife, who was awaiting his return home, was notified by phone that he had been taken to the city hospital, where he had been put under ether, his wounds sewed, and x-rays taken. His condition could not be definitely ascertained until the x-ray pictures had disclosed whether or not he had suffered a concussion. Warren Brooks is the father of Thelma Amos and Evelyn Woodson both of this city, and five minor children. He has been living in Akron for the past several years.

Over a hundred delegates and visitors attended the session. All sessions were held at Howard University in Library Hall. Many social affairs were given for the visiting delegates. Beta Sigma, the graduate chapter here acted as host to the convention. The Alpha under-graduate chapter here was guest of the graduate chapter during the convention. The convention decided not to meet next year but will meet in Indianapolis in 1929. Officers elected for the next two years are Ethel L. Climese, president; Anna J.

PASTOR THOUGHT HIDDEN MONEY WAS STOLEN While officers and members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. Division and Gay streets, northeast, were rejoicing over the entrance of a new year and three new members to the congregation last Saturday midnight, the home of the pastor was being robbed. Joy and good will turned to sorrow and ill feeling when on leaving the church the church members discovered that the home of Rev. James A. L. Wasington, 608 Division avenue, two squares away, had been ransacked, and money collected for missionary purposes was among the pastor's personal family belongings missing. The missionary money was later found. The thief or thieves, the pastor says, entered through the window of the front room after having broken open a wooden shutter and the window glass. The room is the bedroom of Miss Ella Evans, the adopted daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Washington. Miss Evans is an employee of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. The intruders proceeded to ransack the entire house which is a bungalow with seven rooms on one floor. Miss Evans reported the loss of a bank containing nearly $12, clothing and several valuable Christmas presents. Mrs. Washington suffered the loss of jewelry. She at first reported the money amounting to $5 collected for the Women's Missionary Circle, the care of which she had been given. Later, however, she remembered she had hid the money, and on Sunday morning it was recovered from its safe hiding place. Mrs. Washington is secretary of the society and was keeping the money during the absence of Miss Sarah Bush, of Burville, the treasurer, who is sick. The pastor lost a suit of clothes. Headquarters detectives are working on the case. They have recovered a silver dollar dated 1885 which was peculiar owing to its seeming brand newness, which was among the money Miss Evans lost. Rev. Washington is founder of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. He has held the pastorate there nearly 18 years. He is an alumnus of Howard University, and also Historian of the Baptist Ministerial Conference. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1928 By Miss Nannie H. Burroughs (Principal National Training School, Lincoln Heights, D.C.) The National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, is demanding that the trustees of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Incorporated, surrender their charter and turn the school over to the convention to own, manage and control—a request to change a successful policy for an unsuccessful experiment. Convention management of an institution of learning is too loose, uncertain and changeable to insure the permanency of its existence and security of investments in it. There are a number of Baptist schools in the states, managed by state conventions, and all such schools that have not had to close up, or that have not been sold by the men of the convention, or the few schools that depend on white friends for help, are in a precarious condition. Two states that had convention-managed schools and have fought in the National Baptist Convention for a change of the training school charter to convention management, have failed outright, this year. One school was sold by the president of the State Convention and the other one has shut down. Only a few days a white woman who is interested in another school managed by a state convention, visited us. In speaking of the condition of that school she said, "The school is in bad shape; it hurts my heart to see how things are going to pieces." If convention control is the (Continued on page 5) MAN IS INJURED HE NOR POLICE KNOW HOW MAN IS INJURED HE NOR POLICE KNOW HOW Just how John King, 45, of 54 L street, northwest, received the injuries which necessitated treatment for lacerations of the face and head at Freedman's Hospital Monday is a puzzle to police as well as to himself. King is a laborer working at University, Md. He was en route to his home at 5:30 p.m., and was in the act of transferring from the Berwyn car on New York avenue to one bound south on North Capitol street when the accident occurred. He was not seriously injured. He, King asserts, was the last of four or five persons who were running to catch the North Capitol street car. He remembers crossing the track for northbound cars, incidents happening later than that, he has no memory of. From the time he crossed the track until he recovered on the emergency table at Freedman's Hospital, King was unconscious. He cannot say how he was struck nor what struck him. When found by police of the second precinct who responded to a phone call from someone in the neighborhood (whose identity was not disclosed) King was lying on the sidewalk near the curb. He had been moved there by a passerby whom the police were unable to find on their arrival. King is in possession of the transfer ticket with which he houses to identity the motorman of the Berwyn car. He, King feels, may be able to reveal what occurred at the time he was injured. THOMAS TO SPEAK IN ATLANTIC CITY Neval H. Thomas, president of the Washington branch of the N.A.A.C.P., and member of the board of directors of that association, will speak at a mass meeting in Atlantic City on Friday evening. EMANCIPATION DAY OBSERVED HERE The sixty-fifth emancipation celebration was held last Monday, January 2 at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, under the auspices of The National Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of America. Rev. C. L. Russell, national president, acted as master of ceremonies. The principal address of the day was delivered by Representative Hamilton Fish of New York. In his speech, Representative Fish recounted the progress of the race since emancipation. He closed with the statement that "the destiny of the colored people is largely in their own hands and depends on their own efforts . . ." Others who participated on the program were Rev. H. B. Taylor, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Rev. J. C. Olden, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. W. H. Thomas and the choir of John Wesley Church. MRS.

She was well and in good spirits Tuesday when she helped with the house work. Tuesday night she went to the Providence Hospital. Wednesday morning Mrs. Wilson underwent an operation from which she died late Thursday. Mrs. Wilson was born February 1, 1888, in Woodville, Md.

No. 476, to which Mrs. Wilson belonged, held Elks' services over their deceased member at Wilson's Hotel Sunday, January 1, at 3 o'clock. The services were attended by a large number of delegates from Love Temple, Harmony Temple 349, Forest Temple 9 and Columbia Temple 422. Morning Star 40, Columbia 85, and Sidney E. Mudd 748 lodges were also represented. Funeral services were held Monday, January 3, 1928, from St. Mary's Catholic Church. Rev. Father Loughran, pastor of the church, officiated. TWO MEN KILLED BY AUTOMOBILES Two deaths resulting from persons being struck by automobiles were accidental, a coroner's jury held Tuesday. Thomas Towles, 97, was struck last Saturday night by an automobile driven by Freeman Ealie on Rhode Island avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets, northwest. He died at Freedmen's Hospital on January 1. Ealie was exonerated. James Massey, 61, died at Freedmen's Hospital on December 31. He was struck by an automobile driven by Col. M. W. Green on New Jersey avenue north of Q streets, northwest. A coroner's jury exonerated Colonel Green. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. T TANCE e Torn TONER SCHOOL IS TO BE USED BY PUPILS A sharp controversy over residential segregation broke out at the meeting of the Board of Education last Wednesday afternoon when Superintendent Frank W. Ballou recommended the transfer of the Toner School at Twenty-fourth and F streets, northwest, from the white to the colored school divisions. Superintendent Ballou made his recommendation so that provision could be made to take care of the classes that are now being taught in the Garnet School. Under the terms of an existing contract, the Garnet School building must be turned over to the contractor who is building the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School building at Tenth and U streets, northwest, by March 1. The Garnet School building is to be razed. The school officials want the Garnet School building turned over to the contractor by February 1 in order that there may be no interruption of school work after the beginning of the mid-year term on that date. The superintendent recommended the transfer of the Toner School building from the white to the colored schools' divisions. Under his plan the pupils attending the Harrison Health School at Thirteenth and W streets would be transferred to the Toner School. Children who attend the health school are transported in buses and their (Continued on page 8). Norman Murray Critically Ill at his Home Norman D.-Murray, a member of the firm of Murray Brothers Printers, and an official of The Washington Tribune Publishing Copany, is confined to his home, 1726 S street, northwest, on account of serious illness. His condition up to Friday morning, January 6, was such as to cause his immediate family and friends much apprehension as to his early recovery. He has been confined to his home since Christmas day. MRS. DOUGLASS, FOUNDER OF HIGHLAND BEACH, DIES Death Thursday claimed Mrs. Laura A. Douglass, widow of the late Charles R. Douglass, 318 A street, northeast. The end came at 10:30 o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Douglass, who for 48 years was a resident of Washington, was the founder of Highland Beach, Md., the exclusive summer resort for Negroes on the Chesapeake. She discovered the location in 1890 and two years later built the first home there. Born in Canandaigua, N. Y., 75 years ago, Mrs. Douglass lived there until her marriage in 1880 to Mr. Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass, when she moved to this city. Since that time Mrs. Douglass has been a resident here. She was, for the 40 years prior to her death, a devoted member of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. At one time Mrs. Douglass was very active in the Women's Relief Corps, of the Grand Army of the Republic. Her work in this auxiliary, however, declined in the later years of her life. Mrs. Douglass is survived by a son, Haley G. Douglass, a stepson Joseph II. Douglass, three sisters Mrs. Lillie Clagitt, of Geneva N. Y., Mrs. Helen Grigor, of New York City, Mrs. Alice L. Colbert of this city and one brother, Chas. A. Haley of Bath, N. Y. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock from Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. Rev. H. B. Taylor, the active pastor, will deliver the eulogy. He will be assisted by Rev. F. J. Grimke, pastor emeritus. O U STREET, N.W. TO HO Down OVER 400 CHILDREN ENTERTAINED BY LOCAL PAPERS Through the effort of the three Negro weekly newspapers of the city, over 400 children were entertained at the Republic Theatre last Friday, December 30. These children were from the Industrial Home School for Boys at Blue Plains, the Susan B. Cook's School, Anacostia, and all the children under home care. After the picture show, each child was given a bag of candy. Assisting in this work was Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, Mrs. J. Hayden Johnson, Mrs. Theresa Connelly, and Mrs. Mae Dickinson and others. Mrs. Scott, who is a member of the Board of Public Welfare, has expressed on behalf of the children, their great appreciation for the party. Contributing to the success of the affair were the local railway bus companies, Joseph Makeover of the Republic Theatre and officials of several local chain stores. DELTA SORORITY FORMAL IS 'TALK OF THE TOWN' DELTA SORORITY FORMAL IS 'TALK OF THE TOWN' The exclusive publication in The Tribune last week about the Delta Sorority banning guests who failed to adhere to the letter of their invitations, has caused considerable comment in all circles. Old dusty volumes on etiquette were gotten down and read. Social propriety was discussed. The matter was the topic of discussion at every dance and wherever sorority, fraternity or society folks gathered. The officials of the Delta Sorority were adamant when asked for a statement by The Tribune. Mrs Gordon Dingle of New York City said the sorority had no statement to make—that the incident was closed so far as they were concerned. She said the dance was a private affair of the sorority and they had the right and privilege to reject those who were not invited. She confirmed the fact that this was done. Approximately 125 persons were turned back from the formal dance which was held in the dining hall at Howard University Thursday, December 29. Detectives Assisted Headquarters Detectives Paul Jones and T. J. Jackson were detailed to assist Mrs. Dorothy Pelham Beckley and Mrs. Gordon Dingle in turning back those whom were not wanted. The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity was given a blanket invitation. MRS. GEORGE SCURLOCK IS DEAD Mrs. Nannie Scurlock, of 1705 Second street, wife of Attorney George C.

Gross, 29, of 415 K street, northwest. Gross was found hanging by the neck in cell number 8 at the second precinct early Saturday morning. A belt tied around his throat and hanging from an uppermost bar was the means of his killing himself. The morning shift of policeman was about to begin work when Private C. H. Tucker in passing the cell, saw Gross' body dangling in the air. Private Tucker immediately cut the dead man down, Gross had no doubt been dead several hours. The man had been arrested Thursday by second precinct police for investigation. Gross was being held for headquarters pending several charges of robbery, according to second precinct officers. Dr. W. L. Corey of Casualty Hospital was summoned, immediately Gross was found. The physician on his arrival pronounced the man dead. Alphas Elect Burt A. Rose Alphas Elect Burt A.

GEORGIA DOUGLASS JOHNSON SPEAKS AT ARMSTRONG Mrs. Georgia Douglass Johnson, writer of verse, was the speaker at the girls' assembly on Thursday morning at Armstrong High School. TEN Liberal Progressive Independent Crime, scandal in high places, lawlessness, and looseness in the personal lives of the people well nigh shock us into a belief in the lowered estate of civilization. Contemplating the rapid fire of murders of every kind committed by members of the dominant group here in America, and the faltering in the performance of legal obligations, as have the officers in the enforcement of the law, we are inclined to see the ravages of the whirlwind returning upon the blowing of the wind of indifference to the legal rights of black men and women, under the Constitution. Few men and women live today who witnessed the coming of the whirlwind of Civil War following the inhumanity to the Negro slave and his children and even to the freeman, if not white. Under the slogan of "Business as usual," this nation has gone cheerfully along since the destruction of the Civil Rights Law in 1883 by decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, exactly as it did after the decision of Chief Justice Taney in the Dred Scott case. Unmindful of the persistent hatred of the minority of whites men for any and every manly advance of the black, and salving their consciences for the lack of interest in his full equality under the law by conceding to him a kind of backyard existence in every state, community and activity, white men everywhere, North and South, have come to disregard the law themselves, to lose their sense of justice and their reverence for the very Constitution which alone guarantees them against the changing, fitful human nature of all men. In the Hickman case, which is so revolting and inhuman, we have every indication of the possible impression made upon a pregnant white mother who witnessed a lynching in which the body of a black man, woman or child was mutilated. The sins of the parent have been visited upon the child, and his generation. The time was when to tolerate slavery, was to hold the nation in the tentacles of that vicious system; the time is when to tolerate violation of the plain mandates, guarantees and intents of the Constitution respecting black men, is to destroy all law as it effects white men also. Having sown the wind, this nation is reaping the wkirlwind. MAKE THEM GIVE BOND Day by day, reports of the loss of funds of one kind or another prove the necessity for adopting the fixed policy of demanding a bond from those who handle trust funds. Treasurers of societies and organizations of all kinds, civic and business; lawyers who handle estates; agents who handle purchases and commissions; delivery men who collect for goods, and bank employees should all be bonded. It is no reflection on a man's honesty to be asked to give a bond for the faithful performance of specific tasks requiring the handling of funds. On the contrary, the man who knows the responsibility involved and the possibilities of loss under circumstances beyond his control, is willing to provide the surety of a bond, and thus to protect his own reputation and his trust. Not until we come to demand such practical fidelity shall our dealings with one another be placed upon so large and assured a scale as we desire. In the modern business world, such bonds are written for sums running from ten dollars to millions, every day. The cost is nominal. The facilities for investigating the character and past performance of the agent are almost limitless; and surely we do not want as an agent to handle our property, in these days of increasing property transfer, one who is unwilling or unable to have his character and past performance so investigated. It is easy to lose confidence and to fall back upon some recent record of loss or dishonesty as an excuse for not patronizing race enterprises, but it is encouraging and in line with best procedure to demand that all financial agents be Mushinyon Trilune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., THE WASHINGTON BUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C. under the Act of March 8, 1979 Subscription District One New, $3.50; Six Months, $1.25.

JANUARY WOMEN In these days when so many splendid women find so little to do, except to ornament themselves as scantily as possible, to seek pleasures of doubtful value and companions of questionable tastes, to call attention of the use one woman made of her talents when all women were under a severe handicap of legal, political, economic and even religious proscription, may not be amiss. Last Wednesday, January third, the National Woman's Party commemorated the 135th anniversary of the birth of Lucretia Mott, in Philadelphia. "She was a woman of faultless head, thoughtful countenance, beaming eyes, full voice, hesitant in speech at beginning and then growing easily eloquent," says Dr. Carter Woodson, in the story of the Abolitionists, in his book, "The Negro in Our History." She was married. Her husband aided and abetted her in all her work for women and for humanity. She was a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers), who, from 1688, did so much, and still are doing so much, for our group. She was one of Pennsylvania's most active workers in the ranks of the anti-slavery forces and an agent in the Underground Railroad which lifted so many of the more courageous of the persecuted lowly over into the land of freedom. Finding herself and other women sympathizers and workers barred on account of her sex from the councils of the World Anti-slavery Convention, in London in 1840, she decided that women must have equal rights with men in order to do their work successfully in the world. Thus she laid the basis for the National Woman's Party, worked unceasingly for the abolition of slavery, and for temperance, and left as a legacy the idea that full educational, legal, political and economic freedom must be the platform for women everywhere. Such is the aim of outstanding women today. According to the stars, other women born under the planet, Uranus, in the constellation, Aquarius, at this season of the year, may achieve immortality by employing their active, independent, diplomatic, persistent and tireless gifts in behalf of humanity. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A WORN OUT MINISTER THROWN AWAY Editor Tribune: I hope you will pardon me for encroaching on your space with a matter that may not concern the public in the least, but I will feel much better if I can only let the public know of a matter that lies close to my heart. What would you think of a farmer who would work an old horse that was crippled and blind, and turn the poor old brute out on a barren field to starve? You would condemn such a character with all your soul. I know you would. Well, that is exactly what the A. M. E. Zion Church has done to my father, Rev. E. M. Argyle, who for over thirty years has stood to his post, gone through rain and sleet, sunshine and shadows, to his duty. He has been a good father, though poor and often unable to do for us children as we thought he ought to have done. We know now he did the best he could. My dear old fater has never been a bad man—if he had been I would not feel hurt at the way the church has treated him in is old age. I have many cares of my own, but I will work my finger mails to the bone, rather than have my dear old daddy go to the alma house. But I cannot understand the church—an institution that makes such a howl over the fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man. I know that God is not to blame, but it does seem to me that the wrong crowd has gotten in the lead of His church in some quarters. God save His church from sordidness and selfishness, and help us to run fast to keep out of the way of our deceitful friends. (Mrs.) ELSI M. SPIVEY 301 Oakdale S. N.W. Needle Points Needle Points Last week's issue of this paper carried an article concerning a sorority dance held in this city in which the writer of the article scores the sorority for having "insulted, embarrassed, chagrined, rebuked" etc, many invited guests. There appears to be bitter feeling between many of the local fraternities and sororities. These, the leaders of tomorrow, students at "The Capstone of Negro Education," are fighting, worrying, crying, yea—and even writing about the "art" of "properly entertaining," and so-called "social courtesies." Let's have a little racket from this same source about the art of "properly entertaining" some genuine thoughts pertaining to educational training. At the Sixty-fifth Emancipation Celebration the Hon. Hamilton Fish, Jr., delivered an address on "The progress of the colored people since emancipation and their rights under the Constitution." Mr. Fish surely must have done some extensive research if he found anything new to say about our progress and our rights under the Constitution. * * * "Negro colleges should exchange professors," says Alain Leroy Locke.

Kyle, K.K.K., of Tennessee writes in the New York World, in an article in which he asks the Klan to support Al Smith for president, that "all Constitution breakers should hang together." Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Kyle, but dogs are generally asphyxiated. An indictment was returned last week against Mr. Henderson and certain other Washingtonians, charging them, among other things, with selling three degrees for $120. To escape prosecution the defendants should have charged the standard price and awarded football letters. The unforgivable wrong which they committed, however, is that they are attempting to maintain colleges without athletic stadiums. ☆ ☆ ☆ A 17-year-old Armstrong High School student related to me rather disgustingly this experience he had last summer. "During vacation I wanted a job, so I applied to a shoe shine parlor on Pennsylvania avenue. The proprietor (white) asked me if I could dance, explaining that the boy who isn't shining shoes must play the victoria and 'buck'-dance for the amusement of the patrons. I told him that I was applying for a job as a bootleak, not as a monkey, and snapped my finger at him and walked away." If this is typical of the "Spirit of the New Negro," we'll make it, gentlemen, we'll make it! ```markdown ``` We now have a "Negro News Reel" (similar to the Pathe Weekly and the International News Reel) which pictures the national happenings of Negroes. Some may not agree that this is a jim-crow news reel, but surely they'll admit that confining, as it does, all great "accomplishments" and "achievements" of Negroes to purely Negro audiences, will deprive us of the advertisement our race was getting when these events were included in the National and International news reels and screened before ALL movie-goers. If it "pays to advertise," our wares are just a trifle less in demand. ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Alexandria Correspondent Miss Catherine Bentley 720 North Patrick St. Phone. Alexa. 1668-W CHRISTMAS WITH THE PARKER-GRAY SCHOOL On December 23, several classes of the Parker-Gray School had Christmas programs. They went into the community and found eight little ones who were unable to have the many good things of Christmas time, and brought them to school where full stockings of Christmas joy awaited them, and where these poor little ones had a chance to see what school life is like. The programs in the morning and afternoon consisted of Christmas songs. A decorated cedar tree centered the stage, in front of which the Christmas musical and literary selections were rendered. A number of parents shared in the services. On Christmas morning, during the noon-day church services, a group of carol singers from the high school department, under the leadership of the principal, made unannounced and brief visits to the city hospital, the colored churches holding services, and to one sick home. Three friends of the city donated the use of their automobiles and the party of theirs thus expressed the true spirit of the birth of Jesus through Christmas carols, all of which, save one were of Negro origin. New Year's day marked the last of the Parker-Gray festivals. Sunday at 3 p.m. a large audience of citizens representing the different churches, literary, and fraternal organizations, and many other walks of life, gathered at the Alfred Street Baptist Church to celebrate the sixty-fifth Emancipation Day anniversary. A program was rendered, bringing before the assembly some of Alexandria's best literary and musical talent. A number of the teachers and students of the Parker-Gray School took leading parts. The principal, Wesley D. Elam, was in charge. All of the numbers referred to the progress of the Negro race. Campbell C. Johnson, ex-citizen of Alexandria, but now living in Washington, D. C., was speaker of the day. Mr. Johnson traced with accuracy and thoroughness the rapid progress of the Negro race.

For the glory of God shown around him and angels their carols did sing. Rejoicing that God had sent his son to earth to be our king. Shepherds watching their flocks on hills afar. Were startled by the twinkling of a brilliant star, Frightened, on their knees they knelt to pray. kneel to pray. Then arose and hurried to Bethlehem where Jesus lay. They gazed on the new born king happily rejoicing in his birth. While angels sang beautiful hymns of great joy and wonderful mirth; The virgin mother in all her glory, lovingly smiled on her child. As she gazed at him in his cradle manger lying so meek and mild. Then three great wise men in all their splendor came. Bringing precious gifts of beauty and of wonderful fame. They bowed in lowly reverence to Jesus as he lay there. And the glory of God shone around them and angel carols filled the air. And now many centuries have slipped rapidly by.

Francis, a prominent lawyer of San Juan, Porto Rico, and youngest son of Dr. John R. Francis, Sr., after whom the Francis Junior High School is named, may be present at the dedication exercises of the Francis Junior High School, the exercises have been postponed until the latter part of January. The exact date of the exercises will be made known just as soon as word is received that Mr. Francis has sailed from Porto Rico. The exercises, to which the general public is invited, promises several unusual features. The members of Miss Marshall's dancing class are preparing a special number and a mixed chorus under the direction of Miss Williams is rehearsing songs for the occasion.

ARMSTRONG HIGH PAYS TRI- BUTE TO LUCRETIA MOTT Taking as a theme, "What History Means to Us." Professor Charles M. Thomas addressed the student body in assembly at Armstrong Technical High School, Wednesday morning, commemorating the 135th anniversary of the birth of Lucretia Mott. How failure to secure a place in the anti-slavery convention, led Mrs. Mott to organize the National Woman's Party which 75 years later secured Constitutional recognition for women, and inspired them to continue working for political, economic and legal equality, was used by the speaker to show the value of training and persistence in making history.

E. ROBERT H. HARRISON, Past Master, Hiram Lodge, No. 4, Elected Chairman. PETER H. L. M. LEAKE, Past Master: John F. Cook Lodge, No. 10, Re-Elected Secretary. Thursday evening, December 29, 1927, will be long remembered by those members of the Board of Directors of the Masonic Relief Department, who made the interest of the Craft paramount to theirs and attended the final board meeting of the year. Acting Chairman, Past Master, Robert H. Harrison, of Hiram Lodge No. 4, convincingly demonstrated his generosity by his unique and surprising way of entertaining the Board. His nine months of leadership, in the absence of the first Chairman, Past Master, Walter D. Dixon, of Corinthian Lodge No. 18, so captivated the members present, that upon the announcement for the election of officers, he was unanimously drafted and elected Chairman for the ensuing year, regardless of his well chosen words, "I Do Not Choose to Run." Other officers elected were, Past Master, Charles C. Carter, Felix Lodge No. 3, vicechairman; and Past Master, L. M. Leake, John F. Cook Lodge No. 10, recording secretary. The Masonic Relief Department of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge, F.A.A.M., is managed by a Board of Directors, consisting of a representative from each of the Subordinate Lodges, which board elects annually, as its officers, a chairman, vice-chairman and a recording secretary. This department was organized at the home of the Grand Master, Charles P. Ford, 1910 Third street, northwest, by representatives from the Subordinate Lodges of the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge, F.A.A.M., February 3, 1927. Its object is to render Charitable Relief, in the sum of $50, to the bereaved family of every Master Mason who is a member of the Department at the time of his denise in addition to the amount dispensed by his subordinate lodge. During the past year it has rendered aid to seven (7) bereaved families, a total sum of $350.00, thus proving to the Craft that it is not a myth but a going department. Every Master Mason should see the Worshipful Master of his lodge and become a member of this department and thereby grasp the opportunity to help his family after his death. There is no insurance that will give such returns for the dollar thus invested. —adv. HOW IS "CHRYSLER," THE NAME OF AN AUTO, PRONOUNCED?

Mrs. Lewis was a devoted church woman. She was an active member of her father's church here. For many years she served as a teacher in the Zion Baptist Sunday School. On her removal to Harrisburg, Mrs. Lewis began attendance at the Second Baptist Church where she again became a teacher in Sunday School.

Some Pertinent Questions Why should the board of direc- tors, who have not toiled night and day to build up tho denomination- al work, be given more voice and power than the secretaries and chairmen of boards who work like alley slaves the year round? Why can’t the secretaries and ghairmen of the boards be legal members of the board of directors of the National Baptist Conven- tion? ‘Who drew up that charter that reduced the secretaries of all the boards of the National Baptist Convention to mere hirelings?

Readings $1.00 nor legal status under the charter of the National Baptist Conven- tion and cannot protect itself nor any property turned over to it. _ The National Baptist Convention, for some reason, does not publish its charter in the minutes—why? The charter gives the convention (board of directors, in fact) ex- ‘clasive management over the Wo- man’s Convention Auxiliary and reduces it in the charter to the “Woman's Auxiliary Board,” and says the National Baptist Conven- tion shall nominate and appoint the officers. Isn’t that some char- ter in this twentieth century of woman suffrage? In case of foreclosure or pres- sure by the holders of the mort- gage, all property owned by tho convention will be liable for the debt and can be used as security, under separate or blanket mort- gage. The promise not to make the training school liable for the debts of the convention does not make the training school property half as secure as it is now under its own separate charter, We want the training school absolute- ly secure. Getting the Woman's Con- vention “Put” In amplification of this eight- centh century position given Bap- tist women in the twentieth cen- tury, a plank was put into the con- vention platform at St. Louis, which reads, “I believe that the Woman's Convention should sus- tain the same relationship to the National Baptist Convention that & missionary society sustains to a church,” It is true the missionary soci- ety is a church auxiliary but how and for what it functions depends entirely upon the mind and meas- ure of the man in the pulpit, Not many of our churches concern themselves about the work and de- vel8pment of the missionary soci- ety. It is not a fixture in many of our churches and its true rela- tionship is not definitely defined nor genuinely appreciated. Its life depends upon a few faithful women and the expenditure of its funds upon the pastor’s interpre- tation of the purpose of a mission- ary society. If a man of clear vision and unselfish interests is in charge of the church, the society works for the advancement of the Heavenly Kingdom, if a selfish man of limited vision is in charge, the missionary society works for the adyancement of the “earthly. king.” ‘The charter says that “The Aux- iliary Board” must be ‘subject to” and’ “under control of.” — ‘Those who were fortunate enough to at- tend the New York meeting got a perfect idea of what "subject to” means because when our president was called upon to represent the Woman’s Convention, she. went forward and after a whispered consultation, went “way back and sat down.” She nover said a “mumblin’ word—not .a word.” The National Baptist Convention Women, Weak, Tired Rundown and Nervous or who suffer ovarian pains, pains in the lower part of the stomach, bearing down pains, female. weaknesses, headaches, back: che, melancholle, despondency, nervous de. fangements,. flushes of heat, fleeting. and indefinite pains, whites, painful or irremu- lar petiodn, should write to.

A Welfare Corporation Furthermore, the training school is a welfare corporation, Its prop. erty should not be tied up with the commercial enterprises of the convention. The publishing house is loaded down with debt and stag- ering under overhead expenses. Reither ‘elear-headed, business men, nor philanthropists will be money into any school if it comes entangled with a million dollar, mortgaged, commercial yen- ture, ‘The financial inability of the Na- tional Baptist Convention is shown in the fact that it is not financing its part of the work of the Amer- ican Baptist Theological Semin- ary at Nashville, which Southern Baptists gave the convention, on ow oe the hearer give de mr i eep an ober eas dake Beer ‘The National Baptist Convention in not keeping that contract. South- ern Baptists have their money in the bank, waiting foF,us to raise ours. Just think of it. The money is right there for us and we can- not “manage” to get it. Here follows more evidence of how we “manage” schools, Dr. E. W, D. Isaac, in a strong ap- peal for help for the Seminary at the New York Board meeting, said, “We haven't been able to fur- nish the dining room; it will cost three hundred dollars to fit it up. Our students must walk a mile, three times a day, to get something to eat, because we fave no fur- nishings.” Cannot Raise $900 Think of it! The school has been in operation more than three years and the National Baptist Conven- tion has not been able to raise the money to get chairs for the stu- dents to sit in; nor dishes for them to eat out of. Dr. Isaac says that they could not raise fifty dol- lars a month for a teacher of music and that he is donating his ser- vices to help out with the music. It seems to us that if the conven- tion cannot raise six hundred dol- Jars to pay a teacher of music and three hundred dollars to furnish a dining room, and will allow the stu- dents to walk three miles a day, to get something to eat, that it is hardly in position to assume the management of another insti- tution. Before it was loaded down with a million dollar publishing hous: and was given a school to “man. ee the convention, as a conven: ion, never gave a dollar to the National Training School for Wo: men and Girls, It has never “passed the hat” for an after- collection for the school, Question and Answer Why should the board of diree- tors of a convention that has had a school given to it and has no! provided chairs and dishes for less than one hundred students anc which allows those students to walk three miles a day to get something to eat, demand another school to “manage” in the same way? The fact is, the National Bap- tist Convention has its hands ful and its back laden, The board of directors must raise or borrow fif- ty thousand dollars by January 8, 1928, to satisfy, for a few minutes ‘those who hold the mortgage or the publishing plant, Sottehody is going to call these statements an attack on the Na- tional Baptist Convention, It is not, It is a statement of facts, Personal Intentions Permit me to disgress here and make clear my personal intentions There are two things I want. t make clear: despite the fact that we are a million miles behind or a Christian program of unity and co-operation, Nannie Burroughs is not gaing to leave the Nationa Baptist Convention, and she is no going to be kicked around like s hound dog. No disagreement over policy will drive her to do anything except to say in the language of thal noble Roman Christian, “None of these things move me,” and te mean what he meant; by the Grace of God, “None of these things wil keep me from moving.” Nannie Burroughs has given her entire life to the building ‘up, from the ground, the Woman's Gonvan- tion, and she has, by her services, tried to add to the achievements of the entire denomination. She be- lieves in the tremendous dynamic possibilitis of the three million ae: when they are quickened and actuated by high spiritual ideals, She is going to stay in the field and labor for unity and work on a constructive program until God calls her to a higher ser- vice in another world. Nannie Burroughs might be put out of office but she can and will work just as hard in the ranks as 2 "Ty €, BREN A SAY “BAYER ASPIRIN” and INSIST!

Should Work Unhampered Knowing the financial condition of the convention and also knowing the uncertain and spasmodic way Negroes as a whole, support insti- tutions, the trustees of the Na- tional Training School would be unworthy of the trust if they did not insist upon having a charter that enables them, not only te work unhampered, but at the same time, to get funds from all Bap- tists and from all friends of Chris- tiam education, regardless of race. ‘The trustees are sworn to preserve and promote the work of the school That is what the trust is for an¢ not to be passed around, to be used as an experiment. Furthermore, the people who have been giving to build up the school to its present status, gave under the charter secured in 1907, before the split of the National Baptist Convention. The. trustees haye no right to turn over the Property entrusted to them. wher the Baptist family was one, tc either side, It is their duty to stay as they were (a self-perpetuating board) before the split, and hold the property in trust. If they find that they cannot operate un- der the trust of 1907, it is thei duty to carry out the legal provi: sion clearly ‘stated in the charter drawn in 1907, which provisior reads: A Provision “In case circumstances ever shall arise which, in the judgment of the board, render it expedient tc discontinue the institution and te dispose of the propery the boaré of trustees shall have the power to sell the property, provided the sale has been ratified by two-third: vote of the Woman's Auxiliary anc the National Baptist Convention ‘in joint session at annual meetings of the convention, three mortths notice having heen published in at east. ton iifferent state denomina tional papers, for ten consecutive weeks, preceding the annual meet- ing. ‘The proceeds of such. sale to be used as ordered by the two conventions, in the same joint ses- sion in which the consent of sale is given, Any endowment funds in fre hands of the trustees, may be transferred to the executive board of the Woman's Conventions in trust, to be used only for the urpose of education, as intended by the donors, and all such en- dowment funds are to be received by the board of trustees with the reserved ee of contingent trans. fer aforesaid.” ‘That provision is strong enough to secure the Woman's Convention and to satisfy any reasonable group. . “Three Different Attitudes It is interesting to note that in the past seventeen years, the Na tional Baptist Convention has as- gumed three different and distinc attitudes towards the training ‘school, * First—The convention 0 a the establishment of PT school and after it was establish ed, the convention ignored it— looked on with a kind of amuse. contempt. Secondly—It assumed an atti tude of watchful waiting for th school to fail as prophesied. These two attitudes covered o period of ten years. Thirdly—It demanded that all property be pooled under a con- vention charter. It is strange that up to 1917, not a word of criticism or pro- test was uttered against the char- ter. The charter had been pub- lished and scattered broadcast, for ten consecutive years. Was it that ‘the school was too poor, insigni- fieant and unpromising ‘for the convention leaders, to even read the charter? One thing we do know—that while the by-laws pro- vide that the officers of the Na- tional Baptist Convention and of the Woman's Auxillary shall be ex-officio members of the board of trustees of the training school, no’ three of those officers have ever attended a meeting of the board of trustees, at any one time, dur- ing the seventeen years, except when they ran over here from the Baltimore meeting in 1923, ‘The Red-Clay Hill ‘The officers of both conventions, as ex-officio members, have a yoice {no vote) in all board mectings. ‘The officers did not attend the ded- featory exercises in 1907. The convention met in Washington that eens but tnt an ofcer of the Nae ional Baptist Convention came to the red-clay hill, They were ine vited. A secretary of one of the boards, who is a trustee, came out. But, the school was on paper then and: owned property worth less than $7,000, It now owns over $200,000’ worth of real property, and ‘its value is increasing every day.. It. negds controlling now. It did not need any attention then, Tho growth of the school was not effected by the Chicago Con- vention split because the trustees did not throw the school on either side of the fight. The trustees Kept the school where it belonged —out of the fight, and none could molest it because it has a self- perenne, board of trustees. ra who knows anything about the Chicago split knows full ‘well that had we been under a charter which allowed convention control or dictatorsip, all kinds of changes would have’ taken place and the training school would (Continued on page 8) L.E.MURRAY & SON FUNERAL DIRECTORS 2105 12th St, N.W.

The Talk of Town Su WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS AND THE SICK By Charles P. Harris (Mark 1:21-34) Golden Text: "He hath done all things well: he makeh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak." Mark 7:37. The Thought of the Lesson Jesus came in the flesh to help man to think upward, seek right-ousness and move towards perfection. In his endeavor thus to help man Christ had to enter man's life through the most open door of his nature. Human frailty proved to be this most open door to the lives of men. The sick bodies of men furnished occasion for Jesus to help them and to attract them to himself. Through this open door of human infirmity Jesus, by works of love, mercy and power, entered the hearts and lives of all men. The predominating characteristic of His miracles was His helpfulness to the sick and infirm. By virtue of this face He has come justly to be called the "Great Physician." The general teaching unit of this lesson is Religious Therapy, or Spiritual Healing. The lesson brings before us the treatment and cure of many and varied diseases at the hands of Jesus. Many of these treatments and cures were of diseases which had baffled the medical science of that time. These mysterious ailments which had stubbornly resisted all efforts looking toward their removal on the part of the skilled medicine men of the East took cognizance of Jesus, trembled at his presence and fled at his voice and touch. A single miraculous cure brought immediate and region-wide fame to Jesus, while a second such manifestation of His power brought a whole city (Capernaum), including "all that were diseased and them that were possessed with devils," to him. He healed the sick and drove out the deamons, thus proving himself truly to be the "Great Physician." PASTOR'S MOTHER VISITS CITY Mrs. Caswell P. Harris of Franklinton, N. C., mother of Rev. Chas. P.

"Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that we have heard, lest at any time we drift away from them." Heb. 2:1. We have come to the New Year and as an old custom we have made new resolutions. Last year we made them but drifted from some and the debris of broken promises, disheartened us and we became failures. The cause was due to negligence of the most important thing, consequently, selfishness came into our lives. Everything in nature tends to equilibrium and the universal compensation of expenditure. The musical stream takes the donation of the mountain spring and passes it on to the brook into the river and the river bears the burdens of its donations to the sea and heave comes down and coaxes from the sea, and ascends in cloud-winged argosies to the source from whence they came and paints glory and joy in eternity's color scheme—the colors of the rain-bow over the spot. This is nature's way of doing things. Man is the only one who hoards. He accumulates and for selfish ends holds many forces for good and refuses: to let them go out to help humanity. Many men are swimming in the tides of popular sentiment—"get rich quickly" or "a good time" and are saying to others on the banks "come in, the water is fine," when suddenly they are drawn under by a wild ground swirl and if help is not available, they are lost. The author of the text above speaks plainly that we should give attention to the things concerning God and right lest at any time we drift away from them. There is a tendency today to slight religion and this makes us drift. The only preventative of drifting is by taking heed to the commandments of God. These words were addressed to the followers of Christ, who had recently given up Judaism to embrace Christianity. Their enemies made it hard for them and they were nearly swept off their feet. This was a warning to brace them and it is also a warning to every one, the cultured, the poor and the rich—all. It is an awful tragedy to become a drifter. This warning is a necessity for there are no hiding caverns or shelters. Temptations lash about you and you cannot escape them. The spirit of the world tends to rob us of the unseen and puts Christ far away from us. There is absolutely no half way ground, either you are getting closer to Jesus or getting farther away from him. You are getting either good or bad, you are either proceeding toward the kingdom or you are drifting. Drifting is Dangerous Since drifting is so easy one MME. C. J. WALKER MEMORIAL SERVICES Memorial sermon, in honor of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, founder and former head of the Mme. C. J. Walker Beauty Preparations Company, will be preached at the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Eleventh and R streets, northwest, Sunday, January 8, by Rev. R. W. Brooks.

TO LECTURE ON MUSIC Mrs. Shirley Graham McCann, former director of Mount Olive Church choir of Portland, Oregon, will speak on "The Spiritual Message in Negro Music," at Asbury M. E. Church, Sunday evening, January 8. Mrs. McCann believes that in the understanding, development and appreciation of the national, musical and artistic gifts of our own people lies the solution to many of our so-called "problems." She has most successfully given this musical discourse in larger churches of Chicago and Baltimore. She has been recently appointed musical librarian at Howard University. SILVER ANNIVERSARY FOR REV.

Church, 4th and D Sts., S. E., presents this week's Tribune sermon. should take heed and not be scorched in the torch-light of immoral pleasures and deceptive measures. No matter how attractive, stop drifting for it will end in sorrow and death. Drifting is dangerous. The man or woman who drifts always goes hellward; there is no limbus or else. If you are morally adrift you are moving away from God, drifting from purity of heart, drifting from the church of Jesus, drifting from light into darkness, drifting from the noble to the base. Drifting is dangerous because it is often an unconscious process. We drift and are not aware of it until we are torn away from our anrage. Drifting is a thief. My friend, once you were as pure as the dew-drop. Mother and father took you by the hand and led you to the church. You used to read the Bible but you put it off, once and again and again, and now today where are you? Young man, young woman, old man, what is the matter? What kind of life are you living? Answer! My friend, continue to drift and you will end with disaster. The Remedy There is a power that will keep you from becoming adrift. It is faith in keeping God's commands. If you will take Christ as your friend you will not drift. Mr. Business Man, lawyer, physician, teacher, all keep clear of frivolities, deceptions and sin, for they blacken beyond all cleansing, the character that has been builted in the struggles and toils of life. Remember there is no wealth under the sun so precious as a good name w.rthily won and there is no calamity so great as such a name shamefully lost therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that we have heard lest at any time we drift away from them. WELLINGTON ADAMS' COMPOSITION SUNG AT THE ASBURY CHURCH One of the outstanding features of the Christmas music at this Asbury M. E. Church, on Sunday last was the rendition by a quartet composed of Mrs. Josephine Brook-Johnson, Mrs. Catherine Hawkins, Ferrol Gibbs and Chas. H. Neal, of a new composition by Wellington Adams, entitled, "The New Born King." This composition is one of great melodic beauty, and was most favorably received by the congregation and choir. It was said by many to be one of the most beautiful compositions recently heard. The pastor, Rev. Jenkins, commented upon it in the most flattering terms, and introduced Mr. Adams to the congregation. Y.W.C.A.

Not tfiat the big black fellow is a lo- cal proposition, but only that he becomes such 'when billed here through the knowledge and per- mission of local authorities. “His great bulk is the first thing to conjure with. No matter whom he meets, even though it some day might be a Tunney, God- frey will have almost 50 pounds weight advantage. He is the big- gest man in the ring today. Be- ing handled craftily, he is follow- ing over, the same route. Dempsey took on his way to the title, bowl- ing over set-ups here and there getting ready, if the chance ever comes, to step in among the lead- ers. Already he is being ignored among the title contenders, Rick- ard and others, fearing the buga- boo of # black champion, which is a night mare more than a fact. “A great howl is being made aver the opponents, being picked for the big Negro yet, to prove the ‘consistency of it and that it is a route always covered by a poten- Hal champion, one needs but look at the pre-titie records of Demp- sey and Tunney.

The Eastern League of Associated Clubs. provides, that all players in order to be eligible for par- ticipation in league games must possess cards denoting member- ship to the team they repre sent.

Miss Harris 8 & product of the loca schools, and Howard and Columbia Universities: CAPITAL OUTFIT TAKES FIRST FROM CARLISLES ASBURY PARK, N. —One of the biggest upsets in the Eastern Basketball League pennant race came last Monday night when the Capital Club of Asbury Park tock the Carlisles of Washington into camp and handed them a neat lit- tle drubbing to the tune of 29-25. In a game so close and exciting that the referee had to wave the spectators from the floor and warn them that they would bring tech- nical fouls against their team, the boys from the Nation’s Capital pulled up from a 11-8 handicap in the first half to force the fighting in th: last half. With three min- utes to play they led the Capital Club by’ one point only to have Timpson shoot the foul that tied the game in the last five seconds. Davis Stars Davis was the outstanding star of the night making no less than 5 out cf 6 foul positions on the floor. Timpson and Jones were the leading scorers for the Capi- tal Club, Jones takiag the lead in high point scorers of the league. Both teams were full of fight as soon as the opening whistle blew, and the home boys were the firs! to draw blood a la Lawton, as us- ual. Bill eaged two pretty ones in succession and the Jerseyites went mad. From then on it was evi- dent that the Capital Club meant to win the game or know the rea- son why. Fer the first time in a league game Jor Newman sent his own first team in and despite the ballyhoo from the side-lines, sent in substitutions to svit himself ace played the part of the master- mind and did it nobly. ‘The playing was so. fast and furious that as fast as a‘man got the ball an- other man slapped it out of his hand. Play wes too fast for the spec: tators and the resulting bediam of excitement threw everything in an uproar. First Cepital Club forges into the lead, then Carlisle unti the closing minutes found Car- lisle with a one-point lead. Timp: son drew a personal foul fron Jefferies and saved the game fo: his team by making it good, jus: as the closing whistle sounded with the ball in the sir. ‘All Asbury Park went wild wit! the shot and it was 3 minutes be fore the crowd could be hustle back of the Playing floor.

Billy Baskerville was the only player ‘who evinced even tho ‘slightest bit of pep, the rest were listless, ‘There lies’ the story, Af- ter the first ten minutes, it be- came a matter of how big the score would be. Ed Davis and his side- kick, Slim Henderson, were th luminaries in a firmament of duil satelites. The eligibility of those two stars was questioned by True- heart and the game was held up until Conway produced —leagu» membership cards for both piay- ers, A. F.

Cornish, secretary. on orn SY Delta Sorority Formal (Contipaad om: page 1) Only the officers of the other fra- ternities, the Omega Psi Phi, the Kappa Alpha Psi and the Phi Beta Sigma, were given invitations. This apearent favoritism is charged to political alliances recently made when the “members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority lined up with the members of the Alpha Phi A!- pha fraternity in electing Baxter Don Goodall editor of “The Hill- top,” Howard university student publication. The Omegas, the Kap- pas and members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority opposed him. ‘The Kappas especially became piqued because they were slighted in the passing out of invitations for the Deltas’ dance. They had staged a basketball game and dance on the day before Christmas for the entertainment of the visiting Deltas and felt that they should be shown the same consideration that the Alphas were shown. No Notice Given ‘The motive gf those in charge of the dance in the distribution of in- vitations was the securing of a sut- ficient number of men to entertain the visiting Delta sisters. It was not intended that the sph boys should bring young ladies with them to a formal dance. No notice, however, was givén to the Alpha boys that their invitations did not include their lady friends. Nonehalantly the Alphas came to the dance, especially favored by the mitted the wopertanable eens of mitted the un je error bringing young ladies with them. They were told positively that they could enter, but their young lady friends could not. This was but a part of the em- barrassment. Husbands, who had been extended invitations and had the temerity to bring their wives with them, if theit wives had not been especially invited, were also told that they could enter but not their wives. e The “Blue Book” Mrs. Beckley and Mrs. Dingle had a book nee. list of all the invited guests, hen a card of admission was presented, the name was looked up in the book. if the name on the card did not eor- respond to the name in the book, that person could not enter, If the card had been transferred, the person having it.could not enter. Whenever anybody became ob- streperous and insisted upon en- toring after being told that no pro- visions had been made for him, he was turned over to Detective Jones.

Trustees Are Loyal The trustees have stood by the training school in a devoted and courageous manner that is seldom exhibited by Negroes in a crisis and over a period of years. In the face of the demands to pool the training school property under one convention charter, you ask what are the trustees of the training school going to do? The majority of the trustees are active members of both conventions. Our answer is that they are going to operate under their present charter; have the officers of both conventions work with them, if they will, as ex-officio members. Furthermore, the trustees are going to give a full account of their stewardship to the Woman's Convention and to all donors; let the state conventions, (as the by-laws provide) nominate trustees; allow the auditor of the National Baptist Convention to audit the books as he has always done, and the school pay for it. And, they are going to work night and day, to bring to the training school, funds for its upbuilding and unselfish, safe plans for its preservation and perpetuity. In other words, they are going to let the training school own itself as a body corporate, and give the convention credit for raising $60,010.16 for education, as it did last year, which $60,010.16 the convention did not raise although it got (in its own report) full credit for work well done and they got it without putting anything worthwhile into it. For the N. B. C. Those who take time to think for themselves and have given the trustees credit for their loyalty to their trust, realize that the school is in, of and for the Woman's Convention and the National Baptist Convention, and is as much in it now, as it was in 1907, or ever shall be. The school is close enough to the conventoins not to be hurt; and it is also close enough to be helpful if it is not close enough to be helped. Let me tell you in a nut shell how close it is: 1. The trustees are nominated by State Conventions. 2. The majority of the trustees are, as from the beginning, active members of both conventions. 3. The officers of both conventions are ex-officio members of the board of trustees. 4. The books are audited by the convention auditor. The school pays the bill. Mischievous Propaganda 5. Reports are made to the Woman's Convention. They get full credit for the work when they he never given more than a thousand dollars a year; and for eight years, its ranking officer has spent her time spreading mischievous propaganda against the ox that treads out the corn. 6. In case of sale, the law provides that the proceeds shall be turned over to the conventions. The endowment fund may be turned over to the Woman's Convention, in trust. (The qualifying "may" is a splendid safeguard for the endowment fund. If that isn't enough, we have no more to offer.)

Learned moved that the school board approve the recommendations of the superintendent, Henry Gilligan wanted to know the attitude of the white folks in the vicinity of the Toner School. He asked if the property owners in that neighborhood objected to the use of this school building by colored children. Mr. Gilligan has been the leader in the fight to prevent colored persons from owning and occupying houses in what is called the Bloomingdale section, which is almost contiguous to Howard University. "I think that the community should be heard from," Mr. Gilligan said. He offered a substitute motion that the matter go over until the next meeting of the board on January 18 to give the people living near the Toner School an opportunity to appear and protest against the transfer. Charles F. Carusi, president of the board, insisted upon immediate action. He explained that the people in that section would always offer objections. A year ago it was proposed to transfer the Toner School to the colored divisions. Property owners protested. support the training school alone. It gave only $665 this year and less the year before. It has never given more than $1000 any year, and it has not reached the $500 mark at any session since the split, until 1927. The National Training School is a national educational ideal—an ideal around which the entire race should rally. It is the only edu- cational institution operated by the race for its women and girls. All the other schools for our girls are operated by white people for the race. Keep Out Church Politics All Negroes should get behind this one school and make it the pride of the race, for its girls. This is an ideal, of too great value, to be prostituted for the glory of petty church politics. A great national institution for our girls is going to be built in Washington. If we Negro Baptists are too shortsighted and divided to do it, some day some Negro Christian group will build and endow here, at the Nation's Capital, a great Christian university for women—a university that will be as sacred to the Negro race as Holyoke or Vassar or Wellesley is to the Anglo-Saxon race. That honor I covet for my own beloved convention, through a self-perpetuating board of trustees, nominated by state conventions and elected by the trustees, as is required by law. It is with that hope and in that faith that I have sacrificed all my life to lay the foundation on which the woman who succeeds me may begin the superstructure. May God give us grace enough to stop fighting long enough to continue the laying of that foundation. They assured the board that this neighborhood was fast becoming exclusively white. Recommendation Approved Nobody seconded the motion of Mr. Gilligan, Mr. Carusi declared it lost. The board then approved the recommendations of Superintendent Ballon. The board approved the promotion of H. B. Jones from principal, class 5, Military Road School, to principal, class 6, Smothers School. The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett asked to be recorded as not voting on this promotion. He said he sympathizes with the poor teachers of the Smothers School. Miss R. E. Tolliver was transferred from principal, class 5, Smothers School, to principal, class 6, Military Road School. Other personnel matters approved were as follows: Permanent appointments — Miss E. P. Shaed, teacher, class 1A, Crummell School, and Mrs. J. B. Ways, teacher, class 1A, grade 1, Burryville School. Change of names—Miss A. M. Montier, teacher, class 1A, Logan School, to Mrs. A. M. Tyson; Mrs. E. S. Bragg, teacher, Banneker School, to Mrs. E. S. Hansberry; Miss K. E. Johnson, teacher, Lovejoy School, to Mrs. K. J. Lane; Miss H. A. Talbert, teacher, Giddings-Lincoln School, to Mrs. H. T. Latimer; Miss Elsie Yerby, teacher, Cardozo-Bell School, to Mrs. E. Y. Bouldin. Reinstalment—Mrs. E. G.

In furthering this policy the coming week will not be any exception as the stage attraction for the week beginning Monday matinee, January 9 will be "Aces High." The name undoubtedly means little or nothing to this show as the stars which the show carries are each and everyone good and by their good work together make this a very remarkable show. The cast includes such well known stars as Joe Byrd, Ernest Whitman (these two were formerly with Lucky Sambo), Henry Crackshot, Susaye Brown, Lena Curry, Jennie Danny, Emanuel Weston, Alice Gorgas and Rice and Howard. One of the outstanding features of "Aces High" is an act that has not been seen in this city for some years. This is a wild animal act of Delmar and his fighting lions. The lions while looking ferocious are not only well protected in their iron cages but are very tame. To see Joe Byrd and Henry Crackshot in the cage with these animals is alone worth the price of admission. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, in addition to "Aces High" there will also be seen on the screen the great comedy team, George Sidney and Charlie Murray in a picture that will smash all past records: "The Life of Reilly." It gives these two great funsters entirely different settings from what we are used to seeing them in. George Sidney plays the role as chief of police while Charlie Murray is chief of the fire department. Supporting these two funmakers in the juvenile roles is June Marlowe and Steven Carr. "Sinews of Steel" which will be shown on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday has many unusual points of interest for the film fan. The entire treatment of the subject of steel making has been handled in a novel manner, emphasizing the business end of the industry rather than the physical side of the manufacturing. The hero of the story is a jazzy college youth who decides he knows how to run a big steel mill and he gets away with it. He also marries the president, said president being a very charming girl who happens to be the strongest business competitor of the boy's father. Alberta Vaughn, Gaston Glass and Anders Randolf head a strong cast in what is acclaimed as distinct film novelty. On Friday night beginning at 12:15 sharp, the regular midnight ramble will be held at which time the management assures its patrons of two and one-half hours of real entertainment. Tickets for the midnight ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show. MARION DAVIES IN "THE FAIR CO-ED" AT THE REPUBLIC "The Fair Co-ed," the latest of the Marion Davies' pictures, will be shown at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, January 8, 9 and 10. A cast of MARION DAVIES and JOHNNY MACK BROWN in 'THE FAIR, CO-ED' 1,000 girls, all of them young and most of them pretty, appear in this picture. "The Fair Co-Ed," is the greatest college picture ever filmed, actually screened on the campus of Pomona College in California, with all the thrills and tribulations of life around a crowded campus. Marion Davies is the fair co-ed down to the last rolled stocking—and it will open your eyes to see her play basketball in the most thrilling game ever screened. Richard Dix in "The Gay Defender" his latest Paramount picture, will be the feature attraction at the Republic on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 11, 12 and 13. Dix has the role of a romantic Mexican don in "The Gay Defender." The worm has turned. A Mexican hero and an American villian fight each other in this picture. For many years, the Mexican has always been the villian. Dix plays a Mexican youth who turns to bandily to fight the wrongs done his people by American desperados drawn to California in search of gold. On Saturday, January 14, the feature picture will be "Driven from Home," with a cast featuring Virginia Lee Corbin, Anna May Wong, Sheldon Lewis and K. Sojin. A great drama of husband against wife—father against daughter—and human vanity against human nature. On the stage, there will be three talent shows at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30. "LES MISERABLES" AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE NEXT WEEK The Universal Film deFrance production has been secured by the Lincoln Theatre for local showing beginning Sunday, January 8 and continuing through to Tuesday, January 10. This picture, produced by the Societe des Ginermans of Paris is of epic proportions. It is said to have taken more than two years to produce at a cost running into millions of francs. Many of the scenes of this French super picture were taken on the exact locations indicated by Victor Hugo in his novel. This entailed the necessity of reconstructing the main streets of the towns and villages in which the action takes place, to appear as they did a century ago. So intense was the interest of the French nation in the success of the gigantic motion picture enterprises that permission was readily granted by two authorities so that the reconstructors might do their work unhampered, even to the extent in one case of taking up a section of pavement and laving cobble stones. The streets of Paris could not of course, be reconstructed, but massive sets were built that are said to be remarkable for their fidelity to the period represented. Leading actors from the French stage were engaged to portray the characters created by Hugo, Gabriel Gabrio appearing as Jean Valjean. The other principal roles are enacted by players of equal note and the extra players, all in period dress, number thousands. This great French classic is indeed a highly dramatic masterpiece immortalizing the greatest character in French history, Jean Valjean, and according to reviewers in the several cities in which the picture has been shown it is claimed to be a soul-gripping story that unfolds in astonishing succession. In bringing this immortal masterpiece to the public the Lincoln Theatre again strikes a key note in its policy of giving only the best for the lowest admission price, therefore, this great French super special will be shown at no advance in the regular admission prices. To further the deversified bill, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1928 the Lincoln Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, January 11 and 12 will present a photoplay with a theme as powerful as the universe and as old, it will be "The 13th Juror," with Anna Q. Nilsson that piquant blond star who has won such tremendous popularity, and Francis X. Bushman the late star of "Ben Hur." It is a brilliant story of a lasting friendship of two men, even though the pleasure of one causes heartaches to the other. It is a perfect screen version of that sensationally famed stage play "Counsel for the Defense." The plot of the story surrounds the unalloyed friendship of a prominent and wealthy attorney who loves the wife of his best pal, who has not been so successful in the business world. Footlights By McAlpin After a little vacation over the holidays—no, no, the shows weren't closed, it was my little vacation from the "Footlights," I'm back again, and find "Setting the Pace" at the Howard this week. Just what the show is setting the pace for isn't revealed, but whatever it is for, it will take fast work to keep up. The show is a good one, with, of course, its rough spots. Flo Brown, Cecil Rivers, Howell and Hall do some very good singing, and the dancing of the chorus is good. BOY W. SUICIDE IS LA In a sp Scott, 17, Dr. W. H northwest, which he suicid in the note of destruction three ho blocks dis Dr. Jac makes his On Friday and Saturday will be seen Rin-Tin-Tin in the exciting story of the World War based on his own life "A Dog of the Regiment." The story begins in Germany, in peace times, during which a close friendship develops among Riny, his German mistress and a young American. War makes the friend an enemy, and Riny loyal to the old friendship, braves names and death in rescuing the American. This is the most exciting of all of Rin-Tin-Tin's pictures, and shows him as the flying hero. Tom Gallery, Dorothy Gulliver and John Peters are prominently cast. On Saturday only will be shown the Universal chapter play "The Trail of the Tiger," featuring Jack Dougherty and Jack Mulhall. Saturday night at 9:15 will be Opportunity Night when three prizes will be awarded to the lucky contestants as selected by the audience. PROMINENT MEN ARE TO ADDRESS LABOR CONFERENCE A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, stated this week that everything was in readiness for the second Negro Labor Congress, to be held at the 12th Street Y, January 9 and 10. A mass meeting to begin the session at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church will be held on the opening night. The purpose of these gatherings is to arouse American public sentiment to an interest in the Negro worker in industries and in his relation to organized labor. Among the speakers already listed are: Dr. Charles Wesley, professor of history, Howard University; Dr. John A. Ryan, National Catholic Welfare Council; William Green, president, or a representative from the A. F. L.; Rev. Hampton T. Medford, pastor of John Wesley Church; F. Morris Murray, president of the Washington Tribune Publishing Company. The keynote will be sounded by A. Phillip Randolph. REPUBLIC SUNDAY - MONDAY and TUESDAY January 8,9,10 WEDNESDAY DAY and FI January 11, Footlights By McAlpin After a little vacation over the holidays—no, no, the shows weren't closed, it was my little vacation from the "Footlights," I'm back again, and find "Setting the Pace" at the Howard this week. Just what the show is setting the pace for isn't revealed, but whatever it is for, it will take fast work to keep up. The show is a good one, with, of course, its rough spots. Flo Brown, Cecil Irons, Howell and Hall do some very good singing, and the dancing of the chorus is good. Howell, who strums the ukulele in creditable fashion and plays jazz on a violin in a manner seldom seen or heard, is a real treat. He has been here before, but on other appearances he did not treat the patrons with his ability as a violin player. His singing, too, is easy to listen to. The comedy end of the show is held up by Boots Hope and Sidney Easton. They are funny. Boots Hope, of course, had to pull his erstwhile masterpiece, "Brownskin Gal," which though old, was appreciated. He added a little poem at the end of it entitled "You Never Can Tell When a Yellow Gal Will Change Her Mind." The best work of the chorus was done on the song "Baltimore," sung by Flo Brown. Now don't mistake me and think that I liked this scene best because of the scantiness of costumes but, if the truth is known, the girls did look mighty good in those two scanty pieces, didn't they? The show, by the way, is one of the cleanest that has been to the Howard in some time. The comedians succeeded in being funny without cracking a lot of "hogus" jokes, and everything went along fine. The only rough spots in the show which could stand quite a deal of improvement are the dramatized scene where the convict "gets even," and the specialty bit by Howell and Easton. In the first, though the theme was good, the acting was by no means up to scratch, it was too flat. In the latter, too much comedy stuff was introduced with the otherwise very good music. Other than those the show is a whang. At the Lincoln Theatre this week, Hugh Turner, the musical tramp is cavorting. He is doing some mighty good work with his voice, his saxophone, and his saw and bow. The patrons seem to like his work if we may judge by the applause and attentiveness accorded him. THE QUEEN STUDIO Dancing of all kinds taught children and adults. Dramatic classes open. Entertainment furnished. Fashion shows, plays and pageants directed. 1330 V St., N.W. (Rear) BOY WRITES FAKE SUICIDE NOTE, HE IS LATER FOUND BOY WRITES FAKE SUICIDE NOTE, HE IS LATER FOUND In a spirit of adventure Robert Scott, 17, left a note addressed to Dr. W. H. Jackson, 301 H street, northwest, last Sunday morning, in which he made known supposed suicidal intentions. The lad, whom the note declared was bent on self destruction, was found less than three hours later within two blocks distance from his home. Dr. Jackson with whom Robert makes his home is the proprietor of Jackson's Pharmacy at Third and H streets. He has served as Robert's guardian since last July when the lad came to Wasington alone and friendless from somewhere in Maryland. He went to the store seeking a job and Dr. Jackson, becoming sympathetic, took him into his home and fostered him. The druggist has done much toward making Robert comfortable, He has treated him with the care of a son. Dr. Jackson declares that at Christmas he spent in excess of $18 on presents for the youngster. Saturday evening Dr. Jackson and Robert went together to a home in Montello Avenue, northeast, to deliver a prescription. Having completed the errand, the pharmacist decided that the two of them should take in a movie show. This they did, going to the Favorite Theatre. Returning home for a short while, Dr. Jackson and his ward prepared for the midnight New Year services. Upon their return to their home they retired. Sunday morning, after having made ready for Sunday school, Robert handed C. H. Green, an employee in the drug store a note for Dr. Jackson. He then left the store. When the druggist opened the note about half an hour later he was surprised to learn that it was one expressing a determination to commit suicide. The note, written in Robert's hand, said that his body would be found in the waters under the Highway Bridge. Dr. Jackson immediately notified police and a "lookout" was dispatched. Harbor police made ready to drag the waters. Dr. Jackson himself spent a shivering hour on the bridge. At about 1:15 o'clock Sunday afternoon Dr. Jackson having returned to the store for a short while decided to resume the search. He proceeded to scour the neighborhood and disco ired Robert walking on Fourth street, northwest, near the corner of I street. The boy gladly joined his guardian and returned to the home he had deserted only a few hours previous for no accountable reason. Electro-Physical Therapy has become an important factor in the treatment and cure of disease in all first-class hospitals. Recognizing its value, both from observation and wide reading, I have equipped my office to render special service in this branch of the healing art. I have a treatment room containing many private booths where the therapeutic light, infra-red, diathermy, anticoondensation, galvanism and the sinusoid currents may be applied. The surgical application of diathermy, as in the removal of tonsils, is given in the main office. Many diseases are benefited by electro-therapy. Mention of a few will suffice. Rickets, under-nourishment, tuberculosis, skin diseases, etc., are improved by ultraviolet. Sprains, painful back, rheumatism, inflammations, bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, etc., by infrared and diathermy. Male and female disease by diathermy and galvanism. In many hospitals these treatments have decreased the number of cases requiring operation. I shall be glad to consult with any sufferer of acute or chronic disease who may desire to take treatments.
