Board Member Denounced at Hearing MORTIMER M. HARRIS MAKES SCATHING ATTACK ON HENRY GILLIGAN MORTIMER M. HARRIS MAKES SCATHING ATTACK ON HENRY GILLIGAN A scathing attack upon Henry Gilligan, a member of the school board, was made by Mortimer M. Harris at the meeting of the board last Wednesday afternoon during the hearing on the removal of the pupils from the Harrison Health School to the Toner School. Mr. Gilligan is president of the Northeast Washington Citizens' Association which Mr. Harris denominated the "segregation league." Mr. Gilligan has been the attorney in every case brought in the District Supreme Court to enforce residential segregation covenants. His organization was the instigator of all the trouble in Bloomingdale when Negroes began to purchase property in that section. Mr. Harris' remarks added a touch of color to the hearings. Several times during his remarks, it was necessary for the chairman to caution the speaker or rap for order. Looking directly at Mr. Gilligan, Mr. Harris charged that he was unfit to sit as a member of the school board and pass upon the question of transferring the Toner School. He said that Mr. Gilligan could not "fairly and squarely discuss a question of this kind." At the beginning of his remarks, Mr. Harris attacked the "dual school system" in the District of Columbia, which he blamed for the agitation concerning the transfer of the Toner School. He also assailed L. W. Linkins, a realty broker. He referred to him as "one real estate broker who knows nothing about housing conditions in this town."

A hearing of nearly two hours preceded the action of the school board. Real estate operators opposed the transfer. They based their opposition upon the proposed development of Potomac Park by the Federal Government at a cost of millions of dollars, which will result in increased property values in that locality. Arguments of this kind were made by L. W. Linkins, Robert W. Savage and Frank Van Sant. A lone woman, Mrs. Mae J. Richardson, of 2310 F street, northwest, representing the Martha Briggs School parent-teacher association was the only colored person to oppose the use of the Toner School by reason of dampness and a lack of sunlight. Others who urged the school board to stand by its previous action included Neval H. Thomas, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; W. H. Lewis and Dr. George H. Richardson, of the Federation of Civic Associations; Colonel West A. Hamilton, George A. Parker, president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations of divisions 10 to 13, and Edmond W. Scott. Many Attend Meeting At the beginning of the meeting fully two hundred persons were present. Congestion in the board room was relieved, however, when representatives of five Northeast Washington citizens' associations filed out. They had come to protest against the proposed use of the old Lake homestead at Thirteenth street and Rhode Island avenue, northeast, as a health school for colored children. The Rhode Island avenue site was proposed by Edmund D. Rheem of the real estate firm of Swartzell, Rheem and Hensey to be used instead of the Toner School. School officials were unfavorable to this location. Representatives of the Northeast Washington citizens' associations were told that the board would not consider this site and they immediately withdrew from the room. There was standing room only left during the remainder of the hearing. At the close of the hearing, Dr. H. B. Learned declared that the only interest of the school board in this matter was the welfare of the 70,000 children entrusted to its care. "The question of color in my judgment," he said, "does not arise." Toner School Selected He stated his willingness to listen to bankers, real estate operators and other interests. He asserted, however, that he would not (Continued on page 10) THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. M. H.

TWO BURNED IN FIRE STARTED BY SCOURING FLOOR A fire, occurring during the process of floor cleaning caused the severe burning of Ernest C. Frazier, 37, and his wife, Mrs. Lucy Frazier, at their home last Monday afternoon. Mr. Frazier, who is employed on a night shift at the Government Printing Office, was scouring the floors of his home, 124 U street, northwest, when the fluid he was using ignited by means of friction. The man ran into the back yard and smothered the flames by rolling on the ground. The fire in the house gained headway so rapidly as to leave the first floor of the home a mass of charred wreckage. A damage of nearly $800 was suffered in the Frazier residence. A. D. Washington, District Supervisor of the American Woodmen, who lives at 122 U street, experienced a loss of about $150 when the flames spread and damaged his sun porch and upstairs rear room. Mrs. Frazier suffered slight burns about the feet and legs. She is at Freedmen's Hospital. Her husband is at the same hospital in a condition of undetermined seriousness. HENRY BUCKNER HURT IN AUTO COLLISION HENRY BUCKNER HURT IN AUTO COLLISION Henry Buckner, local tinner of 759 Greshman street, northwest, is at his home suffering injuries sustained in an accident at Vermont avenue and U streets, at 2 o'clock yesterday. Mr. Buckner, the father of Frederick Buckner, Howard Theatre chief electrician, was hurt when his one ton Ford truck was in collision with a Packard sedan owned by Solicitor General W. B. Mitchell, 84 Kalorama Circle. He was rushed to Freedmen's in a Red Cab taxi. Later he was taken home by his son. The Packard car, traveling west on U street and driven by Alfred J. Moses, 1638 Florida avenue, northwest, collided with the truck when, according to eye witnesses, Mr. Buckner failed to observe the stop sign in his path northward on Vermont avenue at the U street intersection. Mr. Buckner received lacerations on his left eye, as well as his hands and arms. Besides these contusions and shock, Mr. Buckner's condition is not serious. --- Washington Tribune MME EVANTI AND HUSBAND SETTLE OUT OF COURT The marital difficulties of Roy Wilfred Tibbs, professor of piano and organ in the Howard University school of music, and Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, international coloratura soprano, have been settled out of court. The case was set for trial in the District Supreme Court last Wednesday. Justice Hitz was informed, however, that the husband and wife had reached an agreement. The terms of this agreement were not made known. The suit brought by Mrs. Tibbs was for separate maintenance. Under a court order Prof. Tibbs has been paying her temporary alimony of $100 a month. It is believed that the agreement provides for the continuance of this monthly payment and that the husband and wife are to have alternate custody of their child. Thurlow Evans Tibbs, 6 years old. Mrs. Tibbs charged her husband with abandoning her after advising her to seek the cultivation of her voice. She spent three years abroad studying in Paris and appearing in grand opera in Nice. She returned here each summer. When she returned in the summer of 1925 her first trip, she found that her husband had moved from 1910 Vermont avenue, northwest, where they had been living with her mothers. He was living in private quarters. Upon her return last summer, Mr. Tibbs was living at 401 street, northwest. He requested her not to come to his home, she claimed. Mr. Tibbs filed a counter-charge of desertion against his wife. He declared that she sacrificed home and everything else for a musical career. Prof. Tibbs and Miss Lillian Evans were, married in Gary, Ind. September 10, 1515. Mrs. Tibbs is known in musical circles as Madam Evanti. 4-YR.OLD WOUND PUTS CRAWFORD IN WALTER REED 4-YR.OLD WOUND PUTS CRAWFORD IN WALTER REED Patrolman Horace D. Crawford, the policeman who with his partner, Officer John W. Purcell, was shot in the alley behind the Bell School, southwest, is at Walter Reed Hospital suffering stomach trouble. Private Crawford, who is still attached to the fourth precinct has been sick since October 24, when he was taken suddenly ill while visiting a friend Louis B. Giles, 1200 Linden street, northeast, and had to be rushed to Emergency Hospital. The illness is believed to be a recurrence of the effects of the bullet wound in his stomach which Policeman Crawford received in the gun battle more than four years ago. DR. G. W. HARRIS, OF GA. DIES AT FREEDMEN'S DR. G. W. HARRIS, OF GA. DIES AT FREEDMEN'S --- Rev. G. W. Harris, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Cairo, Ga., and father of Mrs. Annie B. Lytleton, 1755 S street, northwest, died at Freedmen's Hospital, Friday, January 13, where he had been brought by his daughter for treatment. He was born in Putnam County, Ga., April 18, 1859. In 1882, he was converted, and entered the ministry the same year. For thirty-six years, he was an itinerant minister and pastor in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, during which time he held some of the largest and most responsible charges in the conference of which he was a member. Rev. Harris is a graduate of the Turner Theological! Seminary of Atlanta, Ga., and was a trustee for some years of Mirros Brown University and Payne College. A. W. Mitchell Asks Court to Dismiss Case the motion of Arthur W. Mitchell to dismiss the suit brought by George W. Beasley and Thomas Frazier against the Mutual Housing Corporation and its officers was continued by Justice Hitz in the District Supreme Court last Friday to February 13. Mr. Beasley and Mr. Frazier are seeking an account of the funds handled by Mr. Mitchell as president of the corporation. They have also asked for a receivership. Besides Mr. Mitchell, the Rev. William H. Jernagin, Captain Harry C. Atwood and Benjamin H. Early are named as defendants. In his motion to dismiss the suit Mr. Mitchell declares that the plaintiffs are asking the court to interfere with the internal affairs of a foreign corporation. The Mutual Housing Company is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. He also says that the plaintiffs have not exhausted their remedies within the corporation. Mr. Mitchell states that the allegations of mismanagement are not sufficient to justify the relief the plaintiffs seek. He charges that the plaintiffs participated in the alleged wrongs and grievances. He also questions the jurisdiction of the District Supreme Court. He says that it has no power to dissolve and wind up the affairs of a foreign corporation. The plaintiffs charge Mr. Mitchell with gross mismangement and fraud in the conduct of the affairs of the Mutual Housing Company of which they were former officers. The plaintiffs are represented by Attorneys Houston and Houston. Mr. Mitchell is represented by Attorneys Benjamin L. Gaskins and George A. Parker. TERRELL DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED OUT OF COURT TERRELL DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED OUT OF COURT A settlement out of court ended the long drawn out damage suit for $20,000 filed December 10, 1923, by Mary Church Terrell, 1615 S street, northwest, widow of Municipal Judge Robert H. Terrell, against the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co., Baltimore, Wednesday. Attorneys Newmeyr and King, representing the plaintiff, charged that on July 28, 1923, while operating her Oldmobile coupe on the Annapolis Boulevard north of Jones Station, Md., Mrs. Terrell was badly injured when a truck belonging to the telephone company collided with, and completely demolished her car. The case had been formerly tried, June 1, 1925, but the jury disagreed necessitating a new trial. The dismissal was requested by the plaintiff through her lawyers. Mrs. Terrell would make no comment when an attempt was made by a Tribune reporter to interview her yesterday. She did intimate that the settlement was satisfactory. ROBERT NELSON, EAGLE EDITOR, HIT BY AUTO ROBERT NELSON, EAGLE EDITOR, HIT BY AUTO While en route to his home at 1813 Vernon street, last Saturday night, Robert J. Nelson, managing editor of the Washington Eagle was struck and knocked down by an automobile at the intersection of Eighteenth and U streets. Mr. Nelson was carried to the home of J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of Elks and editor of the Washington Eagle with whom he lives, by J. T. Kirkpatrick, driver of the car which struck him. Dr. Charles B. Fisher, 1500 T street, northwest, was sent for. An x-ray disclosed a fractured ankle. Mr. Nelson is also suffering from contusion of the head, arms and right shoulder. PASTOR NIPS FRAUDULENT SALE IN NICK OF TIME POLICE SEEKING SELLER The proverbially shrewd Jew lost some of his prestige: Wednesday when it was discovered that furniture belonging to the Israel Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, First. L and B streets, south-west, which was "bought" and paid for by Isadore Kasnett of the Capitol Furniture Company, and Solomon Malkin of the Central Furniture Co., was not for sale. A man who gave his name as Amane Johnson, his address as 1613 Church street and styled himself a deacon of the Church, "sold" $400 worth of furniture to the two dealers for $27.50. That the church did not suffer loss was due to the fact that Rev. J. E. Toomer, pastor of the church, was on a street car passing the church at noon when he noticed a gang of men loading a van with furniture from the building. He got off the car and notified police. One hundred chairs, three pulpit chairs, a gas range, three tables, a bookcase and a piano, furniture of a total value of $400, was recovered from the Capitol Furniture Co., 605 Louisiana avenue and the Central Furniture Co., 641 Louisiana avenue by officers of the fourth precinct. Attended to be Deacon The managers, Isadore Kasnett of the Capitol Co., and Solomon Malkin, of the Central Co., gave description of the man, whom they said a proached their places of business Monday and quoted prices on the furture. He told them that he was a deacon of the church and that the board had been given notice to move. The furniture he declared was to be disposed of by him. When Rev. Toomer entered the church for the purpose of investigating the moving of the furniture, he found that everything had been taken out of the building but the piano. It too, however, was about to be "toted" away by four men who were acting under the direction of Malkin, the "purchaser." While the action of Malkin and his men was being halted by police, Kasnett arrived on the scene to take a look at the same piano. He too, had been quoted a price on it. It was then that it was discovered that he, like Malkin, had already fallen for the ruse. Some of the furniture was at his store, it having been "bought" Tuesday. Precinct detectives at number 4 are working in an effort to capture the swindler. An arrest, they declare, will be made within a very few days. COMMITS SUICIDE LEAVES SHORT NOTE "I did this my own self, I cannot stand no more," was the only explanation left by Erlene Coleman, 48-year-old woman, of 342 B street, southwest, for her suicide last Thursday morning. Mrs. Coleman died as a result of a self inflicted razor blade wound across the left side of her throat. A safety razor blade was found near her right hand when she was discovered in 1:50 o'clock by Irene Matthews, a roomer at the B street house. 10-YEAR-OLD BITTEN BY DOG Charles W. Young, 10 years old, living at 17 Seventeenth street, southeast, was bitten by a dog while playing on the sidewalk in front of his home Tuesday afternoon. He was carried to Casualty Hospital by his parents and treated by Dr. C. E. Murphy for laceration of the left arm. Later he was carried home. The dog, belonging to Benjamin Clark, of 21 Seventeenth street, was turned over to the dog pound where it is being kept for an examination. The child's condition not being serious his parents will not prosecute the owners of the dog. OFFICE: 920 U.

POPULARITY OF NEGRO HISTORY WEEK GROWING POPULARITY OF NEGRO HISTORY WEEK GROWING School authorities, ministers, teachers, editors, professional people, and business men are all co-operating in making the second week of February hum with the achievements of the Negro. The state superintendent of Florida schools has shown interest; the superintendent of public instruction of Delaware is distributing literature among his teachers; the director of the department of Negro education in North Carolina is doing likewise; the supervisor of Negro schools in Louisiana is giving co-operation; the state of Virginia has set aside a special day of the week; the District of Columbia Board of Education has officially authorized the observance; the state of New York is directing the attention of its schools to it; the state superintendent of Maine commends the effort most highly; Baltimore reports increased activity; the superintendent of public schools of Waco, Texas, is calling upon his schools to co-operate, and the superintendent of public schools of Atlanta has given orders that this week he observed An attractive and informing Negro History Week Pamphlet has been distributed by the thousands in all parts of the country. Those who have not heretofore expressed interest are now active in working out programs for plays, dramas, speeches, and the like, inviting attention to the brilliant record of the Negro in the whole world. Some definite results have already been accomplished. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the director of the movement, is urging the people to set aside one day of the week as a book and picture fund day to raise money to buy books and pictures of Negroes for their schools. Many have already acted upon this suggestion. The Maryland teachers are endeavoring to raise money to place such a useful library in every Negro school of the State. One hundred Julius Rosenwald schools in the rural South have already been supplied with libraries of 200 books each. Bill Introduced for the Relief of Attorney Hart A bill for the relief of William H. H. Hart, former professor of criminal law in the Howard University law school, is pending in the Senate committee on claims. It was introduced by Senator Charles Curtis, Republican, of Kansas, on January 9. The bill would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to Professor Hart the sum of $22,575,389.14 with interest from December 31, 1925, to date of payment. This sum would be paid to him to cover costs incurred, losses sustained, damages suffered, and annual commercial profit on his undertaking in the care, maintenance and teaching of colored wards of the District of Columbia placed with him by the Board of Children's Guardians, from November 8, 1897, to June 30, 1906. Under a similar bill the claim of Professor Hart against the United States was referred to the Court of Claims. That court ascertained the facts and reported them to Congress. In 1897 there was no place available for the care and training of the older colored wards of the Board of Children's Guardians of the District of Columbia. Professor Hart owned a farm of 235 acres about twelve miles from Washington in Prince Georges County, Md. An adjoining tract 345 acres was owned by the late Senator William M. Evarts, of New York, in whose employ Professor Hart was at that time engaged. Professor Hart later acquired this adjoining tract. Professor Hart entered into nine contracts with the Board of Children's Guardians for the care and education of its older colored male wards. After four years serious differences began to arise between him and the board. In the appropriation act of July 1, 1902, Congress inserted a clause providing for the care and maintenance of sixty wards of the board at the Hart Farm School at the rate of $200 a year each. The board was displeased with the legislation. They offered Professor Hart a contract for the fecal year ending June 30, 1903. It imposed many additional duties and requirements. There was inserted also a strict penalty clause for failure to observe its terms. Professor Hart protested and withheld his signature until October 13, 1902. Meanwhile, on July 26, 1902, the board withdrew all of its wards from the school. Professor Hart was without any in- (Continued on page 10) MME. HIAWATHA, SPIRITUALIST, ARRESTED MME. HIAWATHA, SPIRITUALIST, ARRESTED Mme. Ella Curl Hiawatha, well known local spiritualistic medium operating at 1312 O street, northwest, forfeited $50 collateral Tuesday on a charge of practicing medicine without a license. Mme. Hiawatha was apprehended by Headquarters Detectives Robert A. Sanders and C. E. Mansfield on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Mattie Hughes, 826 Fourth street, northwest. Mrs. Hughes who is said to have been sick for a long time, charged that medicines prescribed for her by Mme. Hiawatha caused her condition to become worse. Mrs. Hughes entrusted the recovery of her health to the alleged self styled diagnostician when she was visited by Mme. Hiawatha near the middle of the month of November last. The medicines prescribed, Mrs. Hughes believes instead of putting her on the road to recovery sent her condition on the decline. An alleged payment of $25 made to Mme. Hiawatha by Mrs. Moore as the first installment on a bill of $50 which the spirit medium is said to have named, has not been recovered, declared Mrs. Moore when interviewed by a reporter yesterday.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS SHOOTS FRIEND DEAD, IS SHOT BY BROTHER An 18-year-old boy is dead man and a woman are at Cast Hospital, each in a serious occasion as the result of a shoot scrape at 1031 Thirteenth street southeast, last Tuesday night. Richard Mitchell, of the Tenth street address was shot death by James A. Reed, of 14 East Capitol street, who in it was shot in the jaw by the former's brother, James Mitchell, woman, Mrs. Mary Harper, 12 Twelfth street, southeast, an en witness was shot in the stomach. According to the story told police, Reed had been ordered from the house of the Mitchells by dead boy's mother. An argument ensued. Reed then shot your Mitchell, mortally wounding him. James Mitchell, 23, knocked revolver from the hands of his brother's assailant; picked it up and fired, the bullet entering Reed's face. More shooting followed and during it Mrs. Harper was struck. Richard Mitchell was taken to Casualty Hospital in the car of Worthington B. Mcknew, Dr. C. E. Murphy pronounced him dead upon his arrival. Reed was carried to Casualty Hospital and treated. Later, however, he was taken to Gallinger Hospital where he is being held on charge of murder. MISS C. K. MAY IS HEAD NURSE AT FREEDMEN'S MISS C. K. MAY IS HEAD NURSE AT FREEDMEN'S Announcement was made Friday that Miss Charlotte May, of Holton, Kansas, had been appointed to the position of Superintendent of Nurses at Freedmen's Hospital. The appointment is in the form of a promotion for Miss May and carries with it a substantial increase in salary. The announcement, which was enclosed in a letter from the Department of the Interior, brought to a close the speculation as to who should fill the position left vacant by reason of the resignation of Miss Emma Mae Irwin early last July. Miss Irwin was urged to resign the position following much internal turbulence which is alleged to have hampered the service at the hospital. There had been many complaints concerning Miss Irwin during the month prior to her resignation, and the request for her resignation had been made for the good of the service, Judge E. C. Finney, assistant secretary of the Interior, said at the time. Since the departure of the former Head Nurse, Miss May and Mrs. Louise Nelson, two assistant chief nurses had, until last week been performing the duties of Miss Irwin. The appointment of Miss May followed a recommendation to the Interior Department by W. A. Warfield, Freedmen's Hospital surgeon-in-chief. In his letter of recommendation, Dr. Warfield said, "Miss May has been acting superintendent of nurses for four months, during which time she has given satisfactory service by her method of handling the pur nurses, and has demonstrated unusual executive and co-operation ability in dealing with the hospital staff and public." Miss May graduated from four-year course at the Holton High School, Holton, Kansas, her native town. Following three years of training in the Freedmen's Hospital Nurses' Training School, Miss May served three years in the University of Kansas. She then followed with six years of study as Supervisor and Instructor of undergraduates at the City Hospital, St. Louis, Mo. The new chief of nurses also spent summer sections at the Kansas and Columbia universities. Liberal Progressive Independent VIRGINIAN STATESMANSHIE The recommendation made by Governor Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, in his annual address before the legislature of the Old Commonwealth, asking the enactment of an anti-lynching bill which shall make the crime an offense against the state, to be prosecuted by direction of the governor, which shall cost the county or city $2,500, to be distributed among the heirs of the victim or victims, and which shall authorize the governor to expend all necessary money to apprehend and punish the guilty parties, comes to us as another of those monumental deeds of statesmanship for which the Virginia statesmen were famed. As goes Virginia, so goes the South in matters affecting the general welfare of the section and the people below the Potomac river. That Virginia should pass such a law against lynching, would insure its repetition down to the Gulf of Mexico and over the broad land. It would be a significant step in reviving respect for law and the sanctity of human life. Coming so close upon our statement of causes and consequences as set forth in our editorial of January 6, "The wind and the whirlwind," it causes us to both acknowledge the wisdom and ability of Virginia's governor and to feel some degree of pride at our sense of the way all true American citizens feel about the unpunished crimes rampant among us. Those forces, organizations and individuals that supported the efforts to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, should address themselves to Governor Byrd in commendation of his singularly lofty character of statesmanship, thus helping him to show his legislature just how public opinion supports his suggestion for cleaning the escutcheon of that State which may be called, the mother of states, statesman and a race. PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOT PRIVATE RIGHT Nothing has happened recently to portray so vividly the necessity for "eternal vigilance as the price of liberty," as the proposed changes in allocation of school buildings to meet the demands of the children in school. Entrusted with the duty of providing for the children and endowed with authority so to do, the board of education had approved a change in the type of children who should use the Toner School. That change was made necessary by the demands of children in the old Garnet, School which is to be razed to make room for a building in course of erection. In opposition to such a change in Toner School, certain representatives of business interests entered protests and other groups of citizens echoed those protests when another site was suggested. In the midst of the controversy, the superintendent of public schools suspended his order for the use of the Toner School, and referred the matter to the board of education, for a new decision. With the passage of time, supporters of both sides of the controversy became aroused and organized and expressed most emphatically their respective demands, wishes and opinions to the board of education at its meeting last Wednesday evening. Despite the fact that white families have so signally expressed their disapproval of the neighborhood of the Toner School that the school population has decreased, representatives of the white interests urged the old and exploded argument that the presence of colored children lowered the land values in the neighborhood. The facts are that both rents and sale prices are much higher when the property is occupied by colored people. The board of education, after hearing the vigorous and logical arguments of representative colored people, decided that its duties were to the best interests of the whole community and its 70,000 children; that it had no concern with questions of color or land values, and that the original order to prepare the Toner School for occupancy as already decided should stand.

The fact that they arouse sharp differences of opinion is logical when we consider the selfish interests which obtain, but the added fact that they shall be decided by people who have a keen sense of their duty to the whole people to whom they are responsible, makes for social progress and general welfare. Public schools are not and must not be a private right. The continued existe. ce of virile, alert associations of citizens is again shown to be necessary to our civil life. LEJUNE GOES TO NICARAGUA Once more the American people are propaganda-stirred to give consent to the use of national paid troops in the suppression of foreign disturbances. So threatening has become the armed resistance of certain Nicaraguans that our marines, sent there to protect American interests, have been reinforced to punish the "rebels" for daring to show force to our arms. This action is but a repetition of the history of paid police in all the world. In pioneer days, men bravely defend their own interests but as the monied class arises, they discredit and discourage the profession of arms, and hire irresponsible adventures to protect their interests. The more society consolidates the more legislation and government are controlled by the wealthy, and as the returns from investments at home can not satisfy the demand for interest (since the wage earner never receives enough to buy back what he produces) the wealthy classes turn to foreign sources for that new wealth at low cost which alone meets their insatiable demands. The imaginative minds are bought away from their interest in human problems to serve this monied class, and they excite the people to support the use of their national paid soldiers to act as "police" for the protection of foreign investments. One by one foreign fields have been entered by this nation in response to demands similar to those stated: Cuba, the Philippines, Hayti, Santo Domingo, colonies in Africa, and, now, Nicaragua. The people are powerless, for they are seldom free to find the facts, or they are not educated enough to interpret them. They are busy trying to keep up with the increase in the prices of the necessities of life; for prices must be increased to provide the income from steadily decreasing sales due to decreased purchasing power of the wage earner's dollar, that dollar of course, being ever made smaller through taxes necessary to maintain the paid police and the horde of civil officials who carry out the will of the financial classes. In Nicaragua, the crisis is at hand. The marines have been repulsed, and if that were to continue, the people would become emotionally aroused and spoil the perfect operation of the plan. Lejeune, chief "devil dog," master of ruthlessness in dealing with subject and simple people, usually of darker color, has sailed; and after a period of "censored news," we shall read that the marines have effected the reign of quiet in Nicaragua, that the natives have begun to adopt American ways, and are crying for "American made goods." Some representative of American banking interests will take up residence there to aid the Nicaraguans to get themselves into the spider's web of concentrated credit based upon so small a base of gold as to be manipulated by a few men of usurious minds, and another chapter in the decay of civilization will be written. CHAS, PICKETT'S WIDOW VOTED SUM The Senate last Wednesday agreed to the resolution authorizing the secretary of the Senate to pay Mrs. Louise K. Pickett, widow of the late Charles J. Pickett, who was an assistant in the office of Senator Charles S. Deneen, Republican, of Illinois, a sum equal to six months' compensation at the rate he was receiving at the time of his death. This resolution was offered by Senator Deneen on December 12. It was referred to the Committee to Audit and Control the Contingent Expenses of the Senate. Needle Points Needle Points "From a Dormer Window" is the title of a column in "The Hilltop," a Howard University student publication, written by Miss Gladys M. Jamieson, a student of that institution. Her "take-offs" and ideas are so good that the readers of her column are inclined to believe that she is thinking. When she graduates let's hope that she doesn't go far off into some isolated place and teach school. H. Van Webber in the January issue of the "Messenger" magazine refers to a sailor's adventures on the BARBARY coast during the Russo-Japanese war, when "he was smuggling guns and ammunition out of California." Since the Barbary coast is in the northern part of Africa, and the Russo-Japanese war was fought in China, to have passed the Barbary coast en route to China from California would have required a journey of at least 25,000 miles more than necessary. Somebody neglected geography while in school. Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, Imperial Legal Counselor of the F.A.A.M. (lawyer for the Negro Shriners of Texas, whose case was up before the United States Supreme Court last week), just why did you have, or allow a mediocre white lawyer to "argue" the case before that court? Were you following the precedent set by other Negro attorneys who have had cases before that tribunal, or is it just a plain case of inferiority complex? If the latter guess is right you need not answer. Many of our colored newspapers continue to mislead their readers concerning the "white Democratic primary ease of Texas," by stating and re-stating that the Supreme Court has declared it unlawful to restrain Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries. Well, the Supreme Court did not "choose" to decide that much. In short, the decision is that no STATE may pass any law, etc.—but the court did not say that the Democratic PARTY may not regulate participation in its primaries. The National Baptist Convention wants to take charge of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc., a much needed school which has been made a "going concern" through the toil of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, its president. If the Convention succeeds in getting control, the school may run about a year—because, by careful calculation 'tis figured that it will take at least that length of time before its momentum will have been arrested. A colored woman dying from a gun-shot wound was refused admission into the Sibley Memorial Hospital by Dr. Willis B. Morse, a staff physician there. His reason (rather, excuse) being that Sibley Hospital does not receive colored patients. Few of us know just where the officials of this hospital came from, but all of us know (if our ministers of the gospel are correct) where they are going. The mysterious murder of a Black & White Taxi driver this week will give the police department a chance to clear their records of ALL unsolved murders occurring in the last ten years. Our part in the play is that a Negro is going to be the "house cleaner." According to the Amsterdam News a madam somebody who married a somebody else, was described as a member of the "Royal Family" of the "Republic" of Nicaragua. What kind of a Republic is that? PULLMAN PORTERS MAKE CRITICS CHANGE TUNE CHICAGO, IL, Jan. 19 (PNS) —Increasing strength in the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters as a labor organization and as a factor in the development of the race is revealed in the sudd-on change in attitude toward it by the Chicago, Defender. The Defender was recognized until early in November as one of the mouthpieces of the Pullman Company. It constantly upheld the Pullman Company in its attempt to prevent organization of the porters and continually ignored the work of the brotherhood. On November 19, after two years of this policy the Defender appeared with a leading editorial eulogizing the brotherhood, its aims and officers. Circulation Threatened It is said that this shift in policy followed a mass meeting of Negro workers and community leaders, called by the brotherhood when the Defender was openly denounced for its attitude toward the labor organization. Not only the prestige, but the circulation of the publication was threatened because of the great strides made by the porter organization. Its editorial on November 19 says: "After a careful survey and review of the determined and lawful struggle of the Pullman Porters, led by A. Philip Randolph, over a period of two years, the Defender herewith announces its determination to fight with the porters." Admitting that "there has been considerable criticism pro and con on the attitude of the Defender on the movement to organize the Pullman porters," and that "it is felt by some that the Defender is opposed to the porters' efforts at organization," the editorial says: "We wish to definitely register the fact that from now on we back and favor the right of the Pullman porters and maids to organize into a bona fide union of their own choosing, untrammelled by the Pullman Company." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1928 POET'S CORNER (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children." If you commune with the poetical muse, send in your verses.) LITTLE THINGS The little things in life you know, Are the ones that count the most; The things we would cast aside, And of which we would not boast. "I thank you" when a kindness is done, A kind word when one's sad: A kiss to a fretting child, Advice to the wayward lad. A tip when one's done extra fine, A seat in a car to the lame; Some fruit to one who's sick and lone Would ease the worry and pain. 'Tis little things in life, you know, That make one's life worth while; A Woolworth's—reaching to the city. The chips in a mosaic great, The rays from the beaming sun The little raindrops from the sky, The powder that loads the gun Are the ones for which to fight. 619 C St., S.E. OF MY EARLY SCHOOL DAYS (Thoughts suggested by a college examination.) By Joseph S. Brown High in the mist surrounded by his peers Magnus his ample front sublime uprises: As all around sit wrap in speechless gloom, His voice in thunder shakes the sounding dome: Denouncing dire reproach to luckless fools, Unskilled to plod in mathematic rules. Though little versed in any art beside. Scans attic metres with a critic's ken. What, though he knows not how his fathers bled. When Edward bade his conquering hands advance. Or Henry trampled on the crest of France. Though marvelling at the name of Macra, Charta. C.n tell what edicts sage Lycurgus made. While Blackstones on the shelf neglected, laid: Regretted Aunt, Of Grecian dramas vaunts the deathless fame, Of Avon's hard renouncing scarce the name. Such is the youth whose scientific fate Class honors, medals, fellowships await. NORMAN'S PHANTASY (A poem in memory of Norman D. Murray, deceased, respectfully dedicated to the bereaved family.) By Wellington Adams Thin shadows thru the window flitter by Like phantoms silent dancing on the lawn. Then shyly disappearing far beyond The borders of the hill like fleeting fawn. I sat the while they passed and wondered why— Then fell this stunning thought like thunder-sound— like thunder-sound— "That spirit throng is endless thru all time. And Death, he too, upon me soon may frown." I turned my back against the phantom scene. And started off without the merest fear Sauntering 'cross the room, still in my soul Those spirit voices rang so true and clear. Again I looked and lo, a scene beheld Of faces long since passed, but which I knew: And then they faded like the mists away As I stood there,-they beckoned me on too. I heard them call my name. 'Twas then I knew The time had come to join them 'cross the lea Of time, from whence no trav'ler 'ever returns To tell the story of Death's jubilee. My spirit joins That endless throng, And now I sing The heav'nly song.

On motion of Dr. Learned the board instructed the administrative officers of the school to proceed with the equipment of the Toner School as a health school for colored children. Mr. Gilligan alone voted against the motion. He protested against the way the school officials had handled the transfer. He said that it should have been taken up with board members first. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, had presented the proposed transfer to representatives of colored civic associations and patrons of the Garnet School before Superintendent Frank W. Ballou made his recommendation to the board on January 4. The use of the Toner school as a health school is only temporary. The pupils attending the Harrison Health School will be transferred to the Toner School on February 1. Pupils attending the Garnet school will be housed in the Harrison Health School'. The Garnet School will be turned over to the contractors for razing in order that they may continue the construction of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School at Tenth and U streets and Vermont avenue.

The board then gradually returned its wards. The next Congress on June 28, 1904, removed all doubt of its constitution by inserting a mandatory clause in the annual appropriation bill, directing the board to contract with the Lert Farm School for the care and maintenance of sixty wards at $200 a year each. Professor Hart was hard put to secure the necessary funds to maintain the school. He suffered a financial loss caused by the action of the board by its reduction o. his compensation from $200 to $175 a ward and its withdrawal of its wards from his school. His financial resources were so limited that he lost many of his horses and cattle by starvation. He gave away some and sold others at prices greatly below value in order to prevent their loss by starvation. Ignore4 Wards' Actions In the contract of July 1, 1908, there was inserted a provision that in case of any loss or destruction of property through acts by wards of the board, the board was to recommend to Congress an appropriation to pay him. On April 17, 1903, a ward set fire to one of his barns, filled with grain and farming implements. The loss was a total one, but the board took no notice of it. Another fire occurred in January, 1904, destroying a dwelling and storehouse. The board took no action respecting this loss. In March, 1906, Professor Hart went into bankruptcy. His farm, school and property in Maryland and improved city property in Washington went into the hands of a trustee in bankruptcy. The Court of Claims in its opinion, delivered by Justice Fenton W. Booth, who is also the dean of the Howard University Law School, stated that just what portion of the loss sustained by Professor Hart "is directly due to the wrongful and arbitrary action of the board, and what amount is chargeable to his own mismanagement, is a matter we have been unable to determine from the evidence." lis; Miss M.

KLAN OUSTER SUIT BEGUN IN INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, -- Attempts to oust the Ku Klux Klan from the State of Indiana through a suit asking for its eviction from the State were begun Wednesday, by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliam. It is said that Europeans in authority in the African sectors feel that sentimentalists in London and other metropolitan centers of Europe have gone too far with their "meddlesomeness" and plainly suggest and even declare that "there are enough things to occupy attention on the continent without striving to put silly notions into the heads of Africans." Gilliam declared the klan was organized in Indiana to gain control of State politics and government, Cancellation of the certificate of admission, issuance of an injunction to prevent further activities of the klan and appointment of a receiver were asked in the suit. NEW SWIMMING POOL NOW OPEN AT Y The klan has been dwindling in importance since D. C. Stephenson either quit or was ousted from the grand dragonship in 1924. It was at its height in 1923. Stephenson was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 1925. The swimming pool of the Y. M. C. A., after having been completely renovated, formally opened Tuesday night, January 10.

Lautier The Supreme Court of the United States has under consideration the Mystic Shrine case, in which colored Shriners are seeking a review of the decision of Texas courts enjoining them from using the name, emblems and insignia of the Order of Mystic Shrine. Argument in the case was concluded by Attorney General Claude Pollard of Texas last Friday. He represented the white Shriners. Argument for the colored Shriners was made last Thursday by Harold S. Davis, a white attorney. Samuel A. T. Watkins and James E. White, attorneys, of Chicago, Ill., sat at the counsel table with Mr. Davis but took no part in the argument. By their questioning of counsel, some members of the Supreme Court indicated that they doubted that the court had jurisdiction to review the recision of the Texas courts. Attorney General Pollard advised them, however, that the question of jurisdiction had been purposely waived by the white Shriners in order that a final controlling decision might be obtained from the highest court on the right of the white Shriners to the exclusive use of the name, emblem and insignia of the Mystic Shrine. Whatever right of action the Shrine, Mr. Davis contended, had against colored Shriners for the use of the name, emblems and insignia of the Order of Mystic Shrine, Mr. David contended, had been lost by failure of the whites to assert that right within a reasonable time. Davis Cites Case In supporting this contention he cited the case of Creswil against the Knights of Pythias. The Supreme Court held in that case that the white Knights of Pythias were guilty of such long delay and acquiescence as defended their right when it was shown that the colored order was permitted to exist for a number of years without objection from the white Knights of Pythias. The whole case in the Texas courts turned on the question of race, Mr. Davis told the Supreme Court. The injunction was granted he declared, because the defendants in the Texas trial court were colored and the plaintiffs were white. The whole record of the case, he said, was filled with inflammatory statements. Mr. Davis denied that the white Shriners had any exclusive right to the use of the name, emblems and insignia of the Myatic Shrine. He contended that the colored Shriners had been denied the equal protection of the law as guaranteed to all citizens under the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. At the beginning of his argument Attorney General Pollard denied that the record in the Texas courts was filled with inflammatory matter for the purpose of influencing an improper judgment. Negroes Organized 1902 White Shriners had no knowledge of the existence of colored Shriners in Texas until there was a parade of colored Shriners in Houston in June, 1918, he declared. Six months later a suit for an injunction was filed by the white Shriners. Colored Shriners claim that their first temple in Texas was instituted at El Paso on January 12, 1902. Attorney General Pollard emphasized the priority of the white Shriners. He contended that it gave them an exclusive right to the use of the name, emblems and insignia of the Mystic Shrine. He also stressed the prestige that the white Shriners had attained, and the charitable work they are doing, spending millions for the maintenance of crippled children. In Houtson where this controversy arose, he said that the local temple had recently spent $1,200 to restore a Negro child to health and strength. The white Shrine was organized in New York city in 1872 by a small group of Masons as a playground for Masonry. In 1876 the Imperial Council, the national governing body, was organized. Organized by Foreigners A colored Shrine was first organized in Chicago, Ill., in 1893, by a man calling himself Rofeld Pasha of Arabia, assisted by S. Hussein of Syria, Amel Kader of Palestine and A. B. Belot of the North Coast of Africa. Pasha claimed he was authorized by the Shrine in Arabia to institute the Shrine, among colored people in America. Pasha delegated his authority to John G. Jones. Thirteen colored Masons, who were Knights Templar and thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Masons, were initiated into the Shrine. Palestine Temple was organized on June 2, 1893. A Grand Imperial Council was organized on June 10, 1893. Jones sold to each colored Shriner a constitution and by-laws with emblems and regalia identical with that used by the white Shriners. In 1894 the colored Shrine was incorporated in Illinois. In 1900 Jones was expelled. The colored Shrine met in Philadelphia on December 12, 1900 and re-organized, adding to its original name the word "Egyptian." It was incorporated in the District of Columbia on November 18, 1901. Both white and colored Shriners trace their origin from the same source. National Bodies Take Part The injunction suit was originally a local controversy between Arabia Temple, white, and Doric Temple, colored, at El Paso, Texas. The national organization of colored Shriners voluntarily intervened as a party defendant and submitted itself to the jurisdiction of the Texas courts. Later, the national organization of white Shriners intervened as a party plaintiff. The controversy then became national in scope. The injunction granted by the trial court was broadened to extend through the United States. The suit for an injunction was filed on December 14, 1918. The injunction was granted against the colored Shriners on February 22, 1924. Three Texas appellate courts affirmed the decision of the trial court. The colored Shriners then petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States for a review of the decision of the Texas courts. S. CAFE Open All Night Don't Printing Office.

In reply to letters accompanying the brief filed by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters before the Interstate Commerce Commission, s.n.t to the United States Senators by A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, the most encouraging responses have been made by the senators. They appear shocked at the idea that the Pullman Company could pay the faithful and efficient Pullman porter the meager wage of $72.50 a month and require the public to supply the rest in the form of tips. Some of the replies were as follows: A letter from W. H. Master, South Dakota, says: "Mr. A. Philip Randolph, I wish to thank you very kindly for the brief. If the statement is true that Pullman porters only receive $72.50 per month, that condition of affairs is a disgrace, and a decent compensation and living wage should be accorded this class of employees." Jam 3: Frazier, North Dakota: "I am in heartiest sympathy with your organization and believe you are justified in asking for an increase in wages. It hardly seems fair for the Pullman Company to compel patrons of their Pullman cars to contribute to the wages of the porters, and that is what is necessary under the present conditions in order that porters may have anything like a living wage." Deserves Consideration "You have presented your case in a very able manner. I am glad to assure you that I am in favor of the changes suggested and I wish to express the hope that your difficulties with the Pullman Company may be adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties. It seems to me that the demands of your union deserve respectful consideration." Walter N. Edge of New Jersey: "This will acknowledge your letter, with inclosure dated December 30, relating to the petition we now have before the Inter-state Commerce Commission. I shall be glad to present your views to the chairman of the Commission for its consideration when the latter comes up on January 21st next. Thanking you for bringing this to my attention." C. C. Hill, Washington; "I am heartily in favor of this petition and am writing to Interstate Commerce Commission urging them to take action in behalf of your organization." Many other letters are steadily pouring in to the office of the Brotherhood. When it is remembered that these are some of the representatives who created the United States Mediation Board and the Interstate Commerce Commission, one can readily appreciate and understand the great significance of their favorable comments on the Brotherhood. According to Randolph, many of the senators and congressmen will be requested to sit in at the hearing before the Commission, and give their moral backing to counsel H. T. Hunt, former member of the U. S. Railway Labor Board; Donald R. Richberg, co-author of the Railway Labor Act, and Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the Industrial Relations Commission under Woodrow Wilson.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1928 No provision for an increase in the salary of the minister and consul general to Liberia is carried in the bill making appropriations for the State Department, which is now under consideration in the House. The present salary of the minister resident and consul general to Liberia is $5,000 a year. Two years ago President Coolidge recommended an increase in this salary to $10,000 a year and urged Congress to enact legislation authorizing it. The estimates of the Budget Bureau for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929, failed to provide for an increase. Wilbur J. Carr, assistant secretary of state, who appeared before the subcommittee of the House committee on appropriations, stated that the State Department estimated for an increase in salary of the minister to Liberia, but the Budget Bureau thought it was not proper to let it come in the appropriation bill. An effort will be made before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Carr said, to have the salary increased. William T. Francis, of St. Paul, Minn., is the present minister to Liberia. He succeeded the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, of New Jersey, who resigned two years ago. The minister resident and consul general to Liberia ought to be a full minister. Mr. Carr declared, "Ten thousand dollars will barely pay his expenses," he stated, "and $5,000 simply means that he must go into his own pocket or into debt. The last man we had there went into debt, and it was not a good thing for the Government." Lowest Paid Minister The minister to Liberia is required to perform both diplomatic and consular functions. His salary is $5,000 less than is paid to any other minister of the United States. It is also less than the salary received by any other foreign representatives in Monrovia, none of whom has a higher grade than charge d'affaires. The British consul general and the German consul at Monrovia each receive a salary of $7,500 a year and, in addition, entertainment and household allotments. The British vice consul is paid as much as is paid the American minister and consul general. In carrying into effect the provisions of the foreign service buildings act, the United States Government plans to acquire land and erect a building in Monrovia for use of the diplomatic and consular establishment there. The plans for the building, Representative Stephen G. Porter, chairman of the foreign service building commission, told the subcommittee of the House appropriations committee at the hearings on the State Department appropriations, will follow the general lines of the standardized tropical buildings. Conditions Better The obtaining of an extensive rubber concession in Liberia by the Firestone interest laid the foundation for a new era of Liberian prosperity and will result in mutually beneficial commercial relations between that country and the United States, Mr. Carr, declared at the subcommittee hearings. Regarding the financial condition of Liberia, he said: "We have had special interests in Piano Tuning REPAIRING REBUILDING C. W. GILLUM. 1831 L Street, N.W.

Liberia for many years. In 1909, President Taft sent a commission to examine the economic and financial condition of Liberia, as a result of which a loan was obtained by that country in 1912, secured by the customs revenues administered by an international receivership headed by an American appointee. "In 1924, the Firestone interests entered upon negotiations for an extensive rubber concession in Liberia culminating in an agreement of great interest to this country. At the same time Liberia engaged in negotiations with American bankers which resulted in a loan of $5,000,000 which has enabled her to retire the 1912 loan and discharge her war debt to the United States. "While the department took no part in the negotiations it was kept in constant touch with them and by its good offices was able to facilitate their satisfactory conclusion and help lay the foundation for what is expected to be a new era of Liberian prosperity and mutually beneficial commercial relations between the two countries." PORTERSDEMAND LOWDEN'S STAND ON THE NEGRO Demanding his stand on questions affecting the Negro, A. Phillip Randolph, organizer of the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters, has written an open letter to ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, who is being boomed as a candidate for president of the United States. Mr. Randolph says in part: "Permit me to say, that I am presently concerned about your attitude on race relations and the problems affecting race relations. Where do you stand on the question of the 'enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment'; 'segregation in the departments in Washington'; 'the appointment of qualified Negroes to responsible government positions'; 'the eligibility of qualified Negroes to attend the Annapolis Naval Academy and West Point'; 'the reduction of representation of the South in direct ratio to the denial of suffrage to black Americans'; and 'the military occupation of Hait? Sincerity Referred to "Every Negro, regardless of political opinions wants to know how you view the afore-mentioned questions. But the faith of Negroes in the sincerity of your pronouncements will naturally and logically be determined by your attitude affecting their interest in an institution over which you have great control. I refer to the Pullman porter." Mr. Randolph reminds Mr. Lowden that he is the son-in-law of the Pullman family, and that in such a position, he can no doubt wield influence. He asks is there any reason why he should not sponsor the cause of the Pullman porter, who is oppressed, the same as he is so valiantly doing for the oppressed farmers. EXAMS FOR FIRE CAPT ARE POSTPONED The Civil Service examination scheduled for last Wednesday, at which time a man to fill the position of captain at number 4 engine company was to be selected, was postponed to Wednesday, February 1. The two Negro lieutenants, T. G. B. Key and R. J. Holmes are eligible and will be in competitive examination for the vacancy left by the retirement of Captain C. E. Gibson, September 10, 1927. The examination was put off by order of the fire marshal because of the congested condition of business in the department following the night fire alarms on Monday nights.

"DIXIE BREVITIES" THEATRE Footlights By McAlpin "Dixie Brevities," in which I must say, the costumes of the chorus girls lives up to every letter of the second word of the title, stands out in the entertainment of the week because of the very good singing heard in the show. It is playing at the Howard Theatre. The real feature of the show is the team of Lottie Gee and Edith Spencer, whose warblings entrance the audience and leave them applauding for more. The team work of these two artists is unique, novel, and well-done. Running a close second in the plaudits received, is Doris Rheubottom, who sings so sweetly "Diane," "Charmaine," and "Southland." Doris, of course, gained her popularity with the audiences of the Howard in her previous appearances, and in this one, she does everything to increase that already merited praise. Inex, Dennis, who is a superb dancer, and who teams with Montrose Brooks, a nimble footed chap, helps bring the show up to a rating of "very good." She is seen again in the "Apache dance," with Slater. It's a good exhibition that they give, too. George Wiltshire, repeats as a waiter, what he enacted once before on the stage of the Howard as a policeman, "a 'fairy' act." He is really enjoyed in this role by the patrons. Wiltshire does well as a singer, too. The comedy end of the show is held by Gallie DeGaston, and Robert Rice. Wiltshire plays a straight man part with them, also. Now, for the chorus There is just enough cloth and beads and stones in the costumes for one to see that they are beautiful. The girls supply the remainder of the beauty with shapely, olive-brown forms. The "Shadow-land" scene, enacted by the girls is one of the most beautiful things seen on the Howard stage in quite some time. The girls, sylph-like in their movements and appearance, did credit to the beauty of the surroundings in the scene. The show is well-worth seeing, is chucked full of entertainment, and is far cleaner than a lot of HOWAY Seventh Street 3—SHOWS others that have been here recently. Two of the girls who perform so creditably in the chorus are Washington girls—Jewell Thomas, and Beatrice Brown. MORE TO COME— "7th HEAVEN" AT REPUBLIC ALL NEXT WEEK The Republic Theatre will present for the entire week beginning Sunday, January 2, the motion picture "7th 'Ieaven,' a de luxe attraction. The showing of "7th Heaven" has long been awaited for by the public of Washington and a picture is promised that you'll never forget. This marvelous love story, that for sheer simplicity can not be equalled, carries to the heights of stardom Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. Even in the most astonishing of the arts, the photodrama, where any miracle is possible, it is not oft_n that two stars flame into existence in the same picture. There has been rumors before the premiere of "7th Heaven" in THE LOVE OF A LOVE Los Angeles that there was a surprise in store for the first audience that would witness this production. Then as they saw it, the miracle came to pass. On the screen, before their eyes they saw the coming into being of two new stars. For, from the first scene revealing Charles Farrell in the role of Chico, plying his trade in a Paris sewer, and to the next showing the trembling Janet Gaynor in the part of Diane, lifting supplicating hands to her drink-mad sister, and until the glorious moment when the two are re-united after a long separation, in their heaven of a Paris garret, they mesmerized their audience with the portrayal of their roles. Nothing like it had ever been seen before. "7th Heaven" is the story of two of the lowest types of Parisians, a worker in the sewers of Paris and a waif of the Paris streets. But because of the glorious doctrine of courage which it preaches and the marvelous things it does to both of their characters, it is one of the greatest and one of the most beautiful love stories ever written. An atmospheric prologue will precede the showing of "7th Heaven" featuring "I'm Falling in Love with You, Diane," the musical theme of the picture. An exceptional music score has been arranged for the picture, and will be played by Austin J. Balasco and Dick Hall, organists at the Republic. EVELN PREER AT HOWARD NEXT WEEK The headline attraction at the Howard Theatre for the week beginning Monday, January 23, is the nationally known stage and screen star, Evelyn Preer, in "Carolina Nights," whose phenominal rise to stardom has included such well known shows as "Lula Belle" and "Rang Tang." The public of Washington has not had an opportunity of seeing Miss Preer on the stage in Washington during the last four years. Supporting her will be seen a large cast of clever entertainers including Broadway's famous trio, consisting of Arleena Brooks, Gladys. Thompson and Frankie Watts; also Do Do Green, Arthur Porter, and many others. Miss Preer's last appearance in Washington will long be remembered for the outstanding part which she took four years ago in "Salome." She will be assisted in her act by Edward Thompson. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the screen attraction will be "The Swell Head," with Ralph Graves, Eugenia Gilbert and Mary Carr. It is a story that is cramed full of pathos, thrills and adventure. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen the drama of life and love in the heart of the Ghetto of New York with the screen's great character actor, Rudolph Schildkraut and the child star, Junior Conghlan in a "A Harp in Hock." Mr. Schildkraut portrays the role of a jewish pawn broker who plies his trade in the heart of the lower East Side. On Friday night the regular midnight ramble beginning at 12:15 sharp, will be held, at which time the management assures its patrons of two and one-half hours of real entertainment. Concerning Passes The management announces that instead of passes being good on Monday and Tuesday as they have been in the past, that on and after January 23th, that the lithograph passes will only be honored on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 20. 1928 I EVELYN PREER—Coming to the Howard next week in "Carolina Nights." 4 Days Only Beginning SUN., Jan. 22 The Colossal Spectacles of the Ages A De LUXE ATTRACTION No Advance in Prices MOON OF ISRAEL A film of tremendous action! A terrific battle of the gods that brought havoc and destruction! Spectacular plagues that laid waste to the land! The mighty struggle of a mighty people! All in one super picture! DE LUXE BIBLICAL PHOTO- PLAY AT LINCOLN NEXT WEEK "Moon of Israel," based on Sir Rider Haggard's famous novel, comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday, January 22 for a four-day engagement. "Moon of Israel" is a gigantic spectacle of the enslavement of children of Israel and the miraculous deliverance by way of the Red Direction A. E. Lichtman Rufus G. Byars, Supervisor Phone, North 3000 Lincoln Theatre U Streett at 12th Sea. It shows the parting of the Red Sea, the march of Moses and his people into the Land of Promise, and the drowning of Pharoh's army and other important biblical events with the book of Exodus as its background. It has for its theme the love story of the Israelite maiden, Merapi, and an Egyptian prince. Marie Corda will be seen in the leading role together with Arlette Marchal and supported by a cast of 30,000. The film is colossal, finishing with a tremendous Biblical climax that has been pronounced as being greater than the "Ten Commandments," and is the most impressive story of Egypt and the Pharohs that has yet been given the screen. This de luxe attraction will be seen from MOON of ISRAEL* shown for four days beginning Sunday and continuing through until Wednesday night. For the last three days of the week, beginning Thursday, January 26, will be the photoplay adaptation of Raynor Selig's famous Cosmopolitan newspaper serial which has held millions of readers spell-bound during the last four months. The picture "Becky" with Sally O'Neil in the title role is one of the most interesting stories of the American stage that has ever found its way on the screen. Little Miss O'Neil plays the title role of a little Irish-Jewish shop girl who has an ambition to become an opera singer, but is discharged from the department store. She meets a young man of doubtful character, in fact a very crooked crook. Through his love for the girl he is regenerated and it is not until after the heroine has ventured on the stage and in society that she spurs the hand of a rich man for the now regenerated pick-pocket, which role is played by Owen Moore. On Saturday only, in addition to the screen attraction of "Becky" there will also be shown the Universal chapter play "The Trail of the Tiger," with Jack Mower and Jack Dougherty. Also at 9 p.m., the opportunity contest will be held at which time three cash prizes will be awarded the winner, as chosen by the audience. In addition to these de luxe attractions on the screen will be seen on the stage for the entire week the well known and lovable Doris Rheubottom. Lon Chaney's new photoplay, "London After Midnight," will be shown at an early date as also will be John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in "Love." All photoplays starring Lon Chaney, John Gilbert and Greta Gargo will have their first run at the Lincoln Theatre in the future. DUD'S DOPE It seems as though all wide awake theatre owners are adding links in their chains. A. E. Lichtman of this city, has welded two more links in his chain, giving him a total of five houses; namely, Howard, Lincoln, Rosalia, and Jewel, in Washington, and the Royal in Baltimore. I also hear that he is dinkering for three more theatres in Washington. This move simply shows that my prediction through these columns a few weeks ago must be right, and I do believe that all independent houses will go, and go soon. At that I haven't made any preparation to consolidate or add any links in my chain but I am seriously thinking of it, as the day of competition doesn't exist any longer, it is co-operation and monopoly that count and those who are wise are co-operating and monopolizing; those who are otherwise are simply marking time and they cannot mark time long. We all make mistakes in business ventures. I remember when the Murra brothers and myself started to co-operate and control the BAR ATRE 7th and T Sts.

Jan. 26, 27 & 28 theatre situation of this city but the time was not right nor did we get the support of the people at that time or we would have succeeded in our adventure. At one time we did control the Howard, the Dudley, the Dunbar, the Hiwatha, the Foraker and the Midcity, all of this city; but we were just a few years ahead of time and just to think that the time has just arrived and the present managers are doing what we tried to do seven years ago. This only goes to show that sometimes we work too fast and sometimes we are too slow. It pays to take advantage of present opportunities if possible. Now the only way to do this is to prepare ourselves for opportunities, but we cannot do this at all times and that is why the Dudley-Murray Theatre Corporation, is not in control of a chain of theatres in Washington today. But it is a pleasure for me to write and then just to think of how far ahead of the time we were. It takes a keen business man to make a success out of any kind of business of this day and time. You have to follow the pace. As the old joke goes: "If you go too fast you will run over something, and if you go too slow something will run over you," but I am sure that the opportunity is here for colored pictures. 949 QUARTS OF LIQUOR SEIZED When 949 quarts of liquor were seized during the Sunday and Monday crusades by Sergeant G.

Jones, Mrs. Fannie L. Johnson, of 2448 Ontario road, northwest, filed suit in Equity Court for $50,000 damages against the Merle Cain Company, local contractors, Wednesday. Mrs. Johnson's attempt to recover damages is based on a collision between an automobile in which she was riding and a truck, the property of the defendants, on Connecticut avenue, May 27, 1927. The car in which Mrs. Johnson was a passenger was in a rear-end collision when the truck, traveling north on Connecticut avenue between Grant and Albemarle streets came to a sudden stop allegedly without warning causing the passenger car behind to smash into it. Mrs. Johnson, the declaration states, was severely injured in the mishap. PARENT-TEACHERS HOLD MEET The Parent-Teachers Association met at the B. K. Bruce School on Monday, January 9.
