School Board is to Investigate All Charges Involving the Moral Turpitude of Teachers THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E. PAN - AMERICANS HONOR CUBAN NEGRO HERO By F. H. M. Murray In the morning papers of February 1, there appeared an Associated Press dispatch from Havana—saying among other things the following: Havana, Jan. 31 (A.P.)—All activities in the sixth Pan-American Congress were suspended today when delegates of 21 nations participated in a holiday trip to Mariel arranged by the state department of Cuba. One passenger steamer and the Cuba, flagship of the Cuban fleet, conveyed approximately 170 Cuban officials and Pan-American Congress delegates to Mariel, a picturesque port west of Havana and noted in Cuban history as the turning point in Cuba's fight for freedom. It was there that Gen. Maceo, negro hero, lost his life after he had drawn Spanish forces to that point to allow Cuban soldiers free entry into Havana. In one respect the Mariel party provided historical interest, for a 3-mile drive to the memorial statue of Gen Maceo was the first act on the program. In an isolated spot on the beach, where Maceo had landed his 25,000 soldiers and where he fought the Spanish and lost his own life, a massive monument has been erected. Here delegates of the Latin Americas gathered to hear the early chapters of Cuban independence and its fight for freedom from Secretary of State Ortiz, who gave the early history of Maceo. Details of personal experiences, followed from Gen Froyre de Andrado, who honored the memory of the martyred soldier. Discrepancies Noted While the foregoing generous references to the service of General Antonio Maceo are in the main true, yet there are certain discrepancies, as shown by the histories and contemporary newspaper accounts.

Board Involvi UNFAVORABLE REPORT ON BLEASES BILLS The Senate District committee last Friday afternoon voted to make an unfavorable report on the bill introduced by Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, requiring separate accommodations for white and colored passengers on street cars in the District of Columbia. Senator Blease indicated that he would endeavor to have the measure considered in the Senate, notwithstanding an adverse committee report. The Blease bill would require all street railway and interurban companies operating in the District of Columbia to provide separate but equal accommodations for white and colored passengers. Any officer or employee of a street railway or interurban company permitting white and colored passengers to occupy the same car would be subject to a fine of not less than $50 or not more than $100 for each offense. VETERAN DROPS DEAD ON CAR TRACKS Overtaking him while he was walking the tracks of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway, death claimed Caleb Burns, ex-sergeant of the Spanish American War, Tuesday evening. Sergeant Burns, living at Lincoln, Md., was returning to his home from the store of his brother-in-law, W. A. Davis at Buena Vista, Md., when he fell dead on the tracks, a victim of heart trouble. He was accompanied by Mrs. Daniel Bell, also of Lincoln. His body was removed from the tracks by Eugene Snowden, another Lincoln resident. Born at Concord, N. C., in 1874 he spent his early life there. Enlisting April 27, 1898, in the North Carolina Volunteers when the country was making preparations for the war with Spain, he was commissioned corporal shortly after. Later he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. Sergeant Burns was a member of the Sergeant George Berry Camp No. 10, Department of Potomac U. S. War Veterans, the Cliff Rock Club and an officer of Seaton Memorial Church of of Lincoln, Md. Sergeant Burns is survived by his wife, Mrs. Amelia Burns. The body is resting at the undertaking establishment of Francis Gash, Hyattsville, Md. DENIES KILLING MAN ABOUT ANOTHER DENIES KILLING MAN ABOUT ANOTHER Mrs. Burma E. Jackson pleaded not guilty before Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in criminal court last Saturday when arraigned on a charge of second degree murder in connection with the killing of James M. H. Young. In an interview Mrs. Jackson denied that the shooting of Young had followed a quarrel over another man, as was testified before the grand jury by the dead man's sister, Mattie Bolden, 1624 Sixth street, northwest. Mrs. Jackson did not say what she and Young had quarrelled over. She stated that she ordered him from her apartment at 505 Q street, northwest, and he refused to leave. She decided to go out, went into the clothes closet, found the gun and came out with it in her hand. Young grabbed her and she fired four times. He died four days later, December 10, 1927. She had known Young for four years and had been on intimate terms with him, but they had a disagreement about a year ago before the shooting. Young continued to come to her apartment. Washington Tribune H. U. ITEMS ARE OMITTED FROM INTERIOR BILL The Interior Department appropriation bill was reported to the Senate last Tuesday by the Senate appropriations committee without the Howard University items which were stricken out is the House. It is probable that a committee amendment covering the Howard University items will be offered from the floor when the bill is under consideration. The Budget Bureau estimates included an appropriation of $290,000 for Howard University. HOWARD ITEMS STRUCK FROM BILL IN HOUSE After a bitter wrangle, the House committee on education, of which Representative Daniel A. Reed, Republican, of New York, is chairman, ordered a favorable report on last Friday on the Reed bill which authorizes annual appropriations for Howard University. For 48 years Congress has been appropriating money for the maintenance of Howard University, the first appropriation being the sum of $10,000 in 1879. Since that time there have been continuous and increased appropriations. The Government has also appropriated money for the erection of new buildings. There is no authority in law for these appropriations for the maintenance and development of Howard University. Consequently it has frequently happened that appropriations proposed in a bill were stricken out in the House on points of order. The Senate has invariably restored the appropriations. The conference committee has agreed to the restoration, and the House has accepted the conference report. The Reed Bill The Reed bill would amend the organic act incorporating Howard University so that points of order may not be made against appropriations for the school. The Reed bill is identical with the Crampton bill introduced in the last session of Congress by Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan. It would authorize appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement, and maintenance of the university. It provides that no part of these appropriations shall be used for religious instruction. An inspection of the university by the Bureau of Education would be made at least once each year. The bill would also require an annual report making a full exhibit of the affairs of the university to be presented to Congress each year in the reoprt of the Bureau of Education. The committee on education adopted the hearings held in 1926, but permitted Representatives Malcolm C. Tarver, of Georgia, and B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, Democratic members of the committee to insert statements in op- (Continued on page 7) LOCAL GIRL PASSES STATE BOARD OF NURSES Miss Sarah J.

Parker was set aside by a jury in circuit court No. 1 Tuesday afternoon. The jury returned a verdict declaring that Mrs. Parker was mentally incapable of making a valid will at the time the instrument was executed. Under the verdict of the jury, Mrs. Bessie Walton Simpson, a niece, and Margaret Ellen Byrd, a first cousin, are entitled to share in the estate of Mrs. Simpson, Alice Parker Banks, Margaret Parker Brooks, and Ella Parker, nieces, and Thomas Parker, a nephew, are not entitled to share in the estate, the jury decided. The jury returned its verdict after deliberating 25 minutes. The will which the jury declared void, was dated May 1, 1927. Its execution was witnessed by J. Louis Taylor, an attorney, and Dr. S. L. Carson, a surgeon. Mrs. Parker died on May 14, 1927. W. A. Baltimore, Executor W. A. Baltimore of 206 Elm street, northwest, was named as the executor of the will. His son, Harley, was bequeathed $2,500. Other gifts under the will were: Alberta Campbell, $100; B. E. de Tocano of New York City, $100; Stafford Parker, $100; Fannie Powell, her choice of cut glass ware; Elmira Henderson, cut glass punch bowl; Robert Campbell, silver loving cup; Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, silver water set; Louise Frye, one piece of cut glass ware, and Margaret P. Brooks, a diamond ring. The remainder of the estate was bequeathed to Prudence Penn, of Philadelphia, Pa. This will authorized and directed Mr. Baltimore to sell her real estate, including her home at No. 212 E street, southwest, to carry out its terms. Mrs. Parker was removed from Carson's Private Hospital, 1822 Fourth street; northwest, to the home of Mr. Baltimore on April 34, 1927. Mr. Baltimore testified that she was moved at her request as soon as she was able to leave the hospital. She died there three weeks later. Funeral Expenses $1,500 The value of the estate, over which the legal battle was fought in the courts, is undetermined. The property at No. 212 E street southwest, has an estimated value of $4,500. The personal property left by Mrs. Parker is valued at $1,100, household effects at $500, and insurance at $500, making a total of $6,500. Persons who claimed to be informed concerning her affairs, however, declare that the value of her estate is at least $15,000. Her funeral expenses amounted to $1,500. This is a debt against the estate. The trial of the case lasted three days. It began Thursday of last week, but was continued until Monday. Mrs. Simpson was represented by Attorney Austin F. Cammeld of the law firm of Lambert and Yeatman. Mrs. Byrd was represented by Attorney Charles E. Robinson. At the time of her death Mrs. Parker was the District Most Noble Governor of the Household of Ruth of the District of Columbia. She was also the Past Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star of the District of Columbia. TWO HOWARD MEN PASS DISTRICT BAR EXAMS Two graduates of the Howard University law school were among the 131 candidates for admission to the District bar who passed the examination given in December, it was announced Tuesday. They were Chauncey D. Artis, of Gonzales, Texas, and John Curtis Cedille, of Phoenix, Arizona. They were members of the June, 1927, graduating class. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. OFFICER PLEADS "NOT GUILTY" TO ASSAULT CHARGE Karl O. Speiss, policeman attached to number six precinct, entered a plea of "not guilty" when arraigned in police court Tuesday on a charge of assault on Cornelius Ray, of 414 1st street, northwest. The assault is alleged to have occurred Monday afternoon in the front yard of Ray's home when the man was about to enter the house. Ray, it is said, was the victim of a false arrest, but having to be charged, was booked on "investigation." According to Ray's story he injured his right hand while repairing a truck belonging to the Union Storage Co., for whom he works, Monday morning. He was taken to a nearby hospital where the injured hand was dressed. He then returned to work. The hand, however, continued to bleed and pain him, Ray told a reporter of the Tribune and at lunch time he asked for the remainder of the day off. This granted him, the man went home. While he was in the awkard act of taking his keys from the right hip pocket with his left hand, the policeman, Speiss entered the yard and challenged him, asking what he was doing and how he had hurt his hand. Ray says that he answered both questions, and then the officer asked where he worked. Ray says he again replied. The officer, according to the man's story, then called him a liar and struck him in the mouth with his fist, and then took him to the patrol box. When he was taken to the precinct the officers attached to the patrol wagon reported Ray's ar-Spee. His story was investigated Ray was quested and he made the same replies that he had given Spee. His story was investigated and found to be true in every particular, and an order was given to have Spee report to the precinct when he "rang in" 10 minutes later. Following further questioning and check-ups Ray was sent to Sibley Hospital where the hand which had been bleeding profusely all this time was sewed and redressed. After this treatment he was released. He then swore out a warrant and Speiss was arrested. When he appeared before Assistant U. S. Attorney Ralph Givens, Speiss denied that he struck Ray and also declared that Ray had refused to answer his questions. He demanded a jury trial. WALKERSTADIUM WORK FURTHER DELAYED WALKERSTADIUM WORK FURTHER DELAYED Further work on the Walker Memorial Stadium is awaiting action of the Condemnation Board which board has been requested to take under consideration for condemnation certain buildings situated in the area desired for completion of the stadium according to announcement coming from the office of the Superintendent of colored schools, Tuesday. Mr. Wilkinson told a Tribune reporter that the buildings now standing on the grounds required for the erection of a desirable athletic field were being inspected. If permission to condemn the buildings is forthcoming from the decision of the board, the buildings will be razed. The Walker Memorial Stadium is situated on O street directly opposite the Armstrong High School and behind the Dunbar High School. It was named for the late Lieutenant Colonel James E. Walker. The stadium was designed for the purpose of meeting the athletic needs of the two high schools as well as a number of elementary schools in the vicinity. It is meant that the stadium shall embrace a football and baseball field as well as a cinder track. The amount of space required for such activities, however, can not be had in the present size of the unfinished field. harges of Tea PERRY W. HOWARD LEAVES FOR MISSISSIPPI Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, left the city last Thursday night for Jackson, Mississippi. He attended the meeting of the Republican State Committee of Mississippi in Jackson on February 1. He is a candidate for re-election to the Republican National Committee. He will very probably support Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination. BOY BURGLAR IS HELD FOR GRAND JURY Seventeen-year-old Theodore Crutchfield, living at 55 Myrtle street, northeast, is being held by headquarters men in connection with a series of burglaries which have occurred in Washington over the period of the past six months. Four others, also under arrest are alleged to have handled some of the stolen property. One of them it is said served as a "fence." Detectives Hubert E. Brodie and Hugh Kobey who claim to have obtained Crutchfield's confession assert that many heretofore unsolved robberies have been cleared up. Even a few of the crimes laid to the prowling of the "Cat" are said to have been definitely connected with the work of Crutchfield. The youth, according to police confessed to having looted 21 Washington homes of jewelry and clothing valued at $5,000. The arrest of the youth is believed to have been accomplished through identification by an informer. When taken into custody Crutchfield was without money. Peter Suite, 33, of 1347 T street, northwest, said by Detective Brodie to have taken the part of the "disposer," through whom the goods were transferred from Crutchfield to "receivers" is being held with the youth. Three others, Joseph Fletcher 25 years old, of 40 Defreses street, Francis Holly, 28, 46 Pierce street and Emmeline Butler, 21, 533 New Jersey avenue, are also under arrest charged with having handled the loot. According to Messrs. Brodie and Robey much of the jewelry, Crutchfield is charged with having stolen, has been recovered. Crutchfield, arraigned before Police Judge Robert E. Mattingly, Tuesday waived a preliminary hearing and entered a plea of "not guilty." He is being held under $20,000 bond for action of the grand jury. MAN ORDERED HELD BY JURY FOR SHOOTING Martin Luther Rhoulac, 21 years old, of 1123 Forty-eighth place, northeast, was arrested Sunday in connection with the slaying of Thomas W. Gill, 24, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury by a coroner's jury, Tuesday. Gill was shot Sunday following an argument over the ownership of 75 cents during a gambling party at 4501 Sheriff Road, Gill's residence. According to testimony which developed at the inquest, the two men had become enraged at each other Saturday night when Gill held a gun and took money which he claimed to have won from Rhoulac, but which the latter had refused to give up. Rhoulac left the house claiming that he had been cheated. A shovel, it is said, was thrown at him as he was leaving the place. According to witnesses, he threatened to kill Gill the next morning. On Sunday morning, while Gill was in a neat; tailor shop, (Continued on page 2) Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1657. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS FORFEITURE MAY NOT SATISFY BD. AS TO INNOCENCE The case of Talley R. Holmes, a teacher in the Armstrong Technical High School, who was arrested on January 27 and charged with taking a newspaper from an "honor system" rack at Fourth and P streets, northwest, without paying for it, was discussed in an executive meeting of the personnel committee shortly before the Board of Education met last Wednesday afternoon. In the open school board meeting the personnel committee was asked to act on the question of a general policy to be followed by the board in cases where teachers are charged with offenses involving moral turpitude. This question was referred to the personnel committee on December 21, 1927, when the board voted to reinstate Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the colored high schools, who had been suspended. Mr. Henderson is under indictment on a charge of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of fake degrees. The Carusi Plan Charles F. Carusi, president, told the school board that the positions of teachers who are charged with crimes, should be made to depend upon their clearing themselves. They should not be allowed to forfeit collateral in order to avoid conviction and retain their jobs, he declared. It was intimated that Mr. Holmes has been told that the outcome of his case in the police courts will be reported to the school board. Mr. Holmes was on his way to school when he was arrested. A crowd of school boys and girls saw him put into a patrol wagon. At the second precinct station house he deposited $10 collateral. He demanded a jury trial after Assistant United States Attorney Ralph Givens refused to nol pros the charge. He claims that he deposited two cents in the box for the newspaper. Two newspaper route agents who were watching the rack say that it was empty when they opened it immediately after he had taken a paper. Talley Holmes is a former national tennis champion. He is also a lawyer and a bank director. NEGRO HISTORY WEEK WILL BE OBSERVED HERE NEGRO HISTORY WEEK WILL BE OBSERVED HERE An elaborate program has been arranged for the observance of Negro History Week, February 5 to 12, in the District of Columbia. The celebration has the sanction of the Board of Education. At Howard University there will be a talk daily at the students' assembly at 10 a.m. On Monday Kelly Miller will speak on some phase of Negro history. On Tuesday the speaker will be Dr. Charles H. Wesley. On Wednesday the program will consist of Negro music. On Thursday, E. C. Williams, librarian will speak on Negro literature. On Friday, W. L. Husberry will speak on Africa.

On Friday afternoon at the Dunbar High School there will be a general assembly of the officers and teachers of divisions 10 to 13, which comprise the colored schools. This assembly will be addressed by Neval H. Thomas, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, and Gough D. McDaniels, a teacher in the colored high school, Baltimore. Md. The local branch of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will be addressed by Mr. McDaniels at the Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Young Women's Christian Association on (Continued on page 2) (Continued or page 2) Liberal Progressive Independent The recent conference of the district managers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, held in this city, calls attention to the needs, growth and value of big business among us. That our progress in life insurance should have been so rapid and steady, is a sign of our grasp of the practical Christianity which that business stands for. "Bear ye one another's burdens," is a specific duty laid upon believers, and insurance shows the method by which it may be most efficiently applied. Following the success of the late Madame Walker and her imitators, who met the demand for materials by which to make practical the dictum, "beauty is a duty," insurance has offered to our captains of industry the next widest avenue. The thing that concerns us most is, "What aid may these necessary and worthy ventures get from our educational institutions?" In every college, high school and university among us, young men, maidens, and enthusiastic youth are spending valuable time in preparation for life, under the guidance of instructors whose degrees say to the students, "We know the way." But do the instructors of our future men and women, know for what they are preparing our youth? Have they sensed the current of the age? Do they find their knowledge by intimate and vitalized contact with present-day problems, or are they steeped in ancient lore? We are asking if our courses in biology lead to the better operation of the fish business by the son of the fish man who is sending his son through college? Do our courses in chemistry make our girls capable of operating on modern lines the laundries by which their grand mothers kept the family home together? Is there in any of our business colleges or departments of our universities teachers who can say an authoritative word on insurance as it affects the lives and interests of the colored people? When we examine the projected work of leading white universities over the land, we find members of the faculty who are consulted not only by big going businesses but also by business which is breaking into new fields; but we are unable to find such provisions for our own youth. It may be that big Negro business shall be forced to endow a few chairs for research by men and women who are looking forward rather than backward; and should business prove itself so forehanded, it would of course seek the beneficiaries rather than have them thrust upon it. Really big business always trains its future leaders to march forward, and our educational institutions must be awakened to the possibility of this new ally. COME OUT OF THE PIT For a group that lags outside the pale of complete equality under and within the law which describes and delimits our scheme of government, we are unduly backward in lively interest in our own welfare. Who is to blame? Are the schools failing to inspire our youth to consider their immediate future? Does segregation beget a sense of uselessness of political interest? Is the economic situation to blame for the unwillingness to remedy it as it alone may be remedied by political action through law? Certainly a foreigner coming to America would be surprised at the apathy among us. He would find an immense body of people boasting of their education and striving for higher honors through study of formal and abstract themes, belles-lettres, and the fine arts, yet neglecting the very basis of their national life—the paramount problems of the United States.

Either we become a part and factor in American thought and action, or we become fixed in a sub-peasant stratum—the most alien of aliens in this nation. HEFLIN—BLEASE—SWANSON Not since the days of Julius Caesar has the world before seen a triumvirate operating as an arrogant minority in a great national Senate. For the mere boredom of waiting for the passage of the "morning hour" in the Senate of the United States, any person may hear and witness the fulminations of our modern triumvirate of the Hard Boiled South (Station KKK); Heflin, Blease and Swanson, broadcasting. By loud voiced bombast—a marvel of bad logic and worse taste—one time gun-toting Tom Heflin forays against the entire Catholic organization. He blatantly advertises himself (at a cost to the people of about $2,000 an hour for the Congressional Record) as a willing recipient of the forced split ticket for the Democratic presidential nomination at the hands of the Klan. His Catholic arraignment naturally includes the foreign-born peoples from Catholic countries. Daily, hourly, ridiculously, perfervidly and clownishly he performs. The Senate has never before seen his like. That Hefin's election to that branch of our national government should remain unchallenged is the unexplained connivance at a violation of the spirit and practices of American democracy. He got into the position where he muddles along regardless of the great national issues—insulting the average intelligence and religious freedom of our citizenship—by a total vote cast of 113,513 out of a voting population of 1,184,525, of whom 441,129 are Negroes. But one person in ten voted of those of voting age who are allowed to vote in Alabama. That Heflin can not be expected to do better than he has done may be due to the fact that he is surrounded by 15 per cent illiteracy, white and black, in a state that has provided school facilities for but 59 per cent of the children of school age (Census of 1920). The second member of the triumvirate which represents the expressed determination of an organized and unreconstructed minority to defy the rest of the nation, is Senator Cole Blease. He operates against the colored people in the old home of the original Ku Klux outrages of post Civil War days, and against the colored man wherever he may be in America. He holds his seat and wields his great power by a vote of but 14,560, or one per cent of the total population of voting age. The colored population of South Carolina is 51.4 per cent of the total of the state, a majority. There are 378,931 Negroes of voting age in the state—almost 25 times the number of votes by which Blease POETS' CORNER POETS' CORNER TO VIRGINIA By Carrie Moss Dancing, prancing, fairy feet, Rose bud lips, with kisses sweet, Sparkling eyes, like stars so bright Mother's heart, her life's delight.

It may be, as the psychologist would say, "Mr. Blease is conscious of misrepresenting the majority of the people of his state and thus hates them, for we come to hate those whom we have wronged." While Blease labors to unsettle affairs in the Senate, his constituents suffer from an 18 per cent total illiteracy; the lowest educational state in the nation, all other things being equal. Thus the world may witness the anomaly of a national senator directing his political power, made possible by the people, against those whom he has denied the right to learn about the government under which they live and which they support by their taxes. As a member of the Southern landed aristocracy, with financial ramifications of great magnitude and complexity, begetting arrogance, the third member of the group, Senator Swanson, hurls his magniloquent defiance at all critics of the political jugglery of the South. He boldly asserts, as did secessionists, that he will tolerate. no interference with his minority dominance under the Constitution as he interprets it. In sharp contrast to the forward-looking statesmanship of Governor Harry F. Byrd of the same commonwealth, the great Swanson is proud to come to the Senate upon a total vote cast of 211,600 out of a grand total of 1,558,305 citizens of voting age in the state; about 13 out of every possible 100 voters. Swanson too neglects the internal general welfare of the state of Virginia of which he has been governor, for it had in 1920 an illiteracy of 11 per cent, and failed its colored citizens to the extent of 23.5 per cent unlettered. With all of Senator Swanson's wealth and his boldly stated intolerance of criticism, the Old Dominion has but 53.9 per cent of all of its children of school age in school; and but 54 per cent of the children of its colored citizens who are about one in every three of the total population. Tainted with fraud, injustice, intimidation and misrepresentation, the attacks of the trio become a waste of costly and precious time—time due to pressing national issues. The attacks lack novelty, or invention, and seem to be directed by fear of the strength of the objectives more than by any real power to effectuate the ends they proclaim with such boisterous unanimity. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1928 THE RIP SAW THE RIP SAW "The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of social equality is the extremest folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than artificial forcing. No race that has anything to contribute to the market of the world is long in any degree ostracised." —Booker T. Washington If Booker T. Washington left no other philosophy of life than the above quotation, he left a heritage greater than he knew. However, how few today really understand what he meant. "Artificial forcing" is the one element that is now destroying the best brain the race is producing. One need but take a glance at the names included in, and the conditions surrounding, the recent awards of the Harmon Foundation of New York City. These sixteen awards are given for "achievement of national significance" by Negroes, in literature, fine arts, business, education, music and religious service. How deceived most of the recipients must be when they reflect (which it may be doubted they ever do) how little of the genuine thing needs to be produced to get an award and national publicity—what little incentive there is in these awards for them to determine to dig and produce something really outstanding. There can be little doubt that awards of this kind, given for such mediocre accomplishments, do more harm than good. When compared with the achievements of other races right among us, in similar lines, we can realize how cheap and inferior the most of our product is. If the standard of Negroes' work is to be continually kept down to the level of their present mental attainments, what hope is there for the future? Surely the results must tend towards racial inferiority. Certainly the Harmon Foundation cannot be lending itself to the propagation of the damnable Southern doctrine that the Negro is an inferior person, and is to be dealt with and rewarded accordingly. Awards of this kind have their value only in the incentive created for the attainment of perfection. An individual who has only exhibited a certain amount of natural talent surely does not deserve an award which is supposed to be given for superior attainment. What incentive are these bestowals for the recipient or any one else of our race to go through the painful and discouraging crucibles of hardship and struggle to reach the real goal—the goal where their ability will be recognized regardless of color, which is the only goal worthy of effort. Laura Wheeler Waring, the winner of the first prize in art, may be properly classed as a good Negro artist. But how does she measure up in that world of art that knows no color, class or race? The same question may be asked as to R. Nathaniel Dett who got the first award in music. Handy's "Memphis Blues" was a distinctive contribution to the world of music and has enjoyed, and perhaps always will enjoy, a wider sale than any of Mr. Dett's compositions. The "blues" are just as much the Negroes' contribution to the world as "spirituals." As a composer of this kind of music, Handy ranks at the top regardless of race or color. How does Dett rank in his field? The awarding of the first prize in education to John W. Davis of West Virginia Collegiate Institute is another example. As fine as his school may be, in comparison with similar institutions regardless of color, how does it rank? Surely there are a number of other Negro schools just as good, if not better, than have been lown out of harder wood than Mr. Davis had to chop. The award in religion is just as questionable. However, the award which goes to Anthony Overton, for achievement in business, is well deserved, but is belated. The literature award which went to James Weldon Johnson is perhaps the most timely of all of them. In the selection of the second place winners and those of honorable mention, the ineptitude of the whole thing reveals itself in its naked state. Bishop A. L. Gaines of the A. M. E. Church, who is now under fire and is being threatened with unfrocking at the coming general conference in Chicago, be- Needle Points By Willie Mack "Uncle-Tomfooiery" is a word contributed to the American language by George D. Schuyler in the "Messenger." This new word deserves a place in Mencken's "American" dictionary along with the word coined by Rienzi B. Lemus—"hustlerati," which word Mr. Mencken duly acknowledged and adopted. Mencken (being a white man) may not find Schuyler's word so useful, but surely it can well find wide currency with us. Tom Jones, a poor Negro plasterer, has been notified that he is heir to certain properties on which there are oil wells, and that at present, he is worth over one million dollars. His only expression was, "I hope I get it!" White capitalists say that a "poor" millionaire is a dangerous person to have running at large. This is not generally true with wealthy Negroes. They invest in white enterprises and to some extent, associate with white people. Somehow, they seem to lose their racial identity—as long as their money lasts. A friend and I had a light lunch the other day at a drug store. We were served hot chocolate, sandwiches and cakes. These facts reminded me of what a wise old man said about a year ago: "The public is much better off now, that drug stores dispense more food and less poison." When we read how the late Mr. E. C. Brown, banker, real estate dealer, financier, theatre owner, etc. rose from a comedian in a traveling medicine show to one who handled thousands of dollars, and finally died with practically nothing, we should be alarmed at the conditions, whatever they are, that cause so many of our "big" business men to get "drunk in sight of power." An attempt to run a dozen or so big business enterprises is suicide with us—as yet! Four or more white churches in Baltimore have started a "campaign" to keep the Negroes out of certain "white" sections of the city. The pastors of these churches led the meetings and said that it could be done without "overpublicity"; and—they seem to think—with THEIR GOD's help. Three Negro men were charged with murder in this city last week. Two were represented by a Negro lawyer (Attorney Wilson), and one by a white lawyer. The two represented by the Negro were freed. The other was convicted of manslaughter. This fact doesn't' PROVE much, maybe, but it does DISPRVCVE a great deal that has been said about us. "Twas just by a technicality," cried one of our Uncle Tomers. Yes, brother, but they're just as free! In Chicago, Illinois, there is an association of white persons, all of the members bearing the name of "George." These members object to the promiscuous bestowal of THEIR fair name on Negro porters. Do porters feel flattered when called "George"? They certainly should not, when our parents nowadays give us high-falutin' names. For instance, a glimpse at the list of of our high school graduates reveals such names as the following: Joel Dunsun —, Vassar Dubois —, Reginald Garfield Vanderbilt —, Cyril Augustine —, Israel Phoenix —, Alexander Walthall —, Lynell D Ponce —, etc. The time has passed when its name is the first thing a child can spell and pronounce. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, is asking a Congressional Committee for an assembly building, a men's dormitory, an administrative building and a chemistry building. Dr. Johnson insists that of the four, the chemistry building is the most urgent need. The committee disagrees. It seems to all of us that Dr. Johnson is right, in that chemistry in a university (even one for Negroes) should come before assemblies, better housing, etc. So strange that the committee can't see that! Or do they? The National Memorial Association is using its efforts to get approved a bill for the erection of a memorial building in tribute to the Negro's achievement in America. Separate memorial buildings, like separate street cars, are discriminatory, no matter how beautiful. cause of serious charges filed against him which cover his entire four years of service, gets "Honorable Mention." Professor Benjamin G. Brawley of Shaw showed wisdom in more ways than one when he refused the second place award proffered him in education. Booker T. Washington was a great educator. Not a great "Negro" educator; his vision was broader than race. The world is better because of his achievements not alone concerning the Negro. Jack Johnson was world champion, not Negro champion. Henry Ossian Tanner is a noted artist, not a noted Negro artist; his works are measured by the same standard that measures Howard Chandler Christy and others, regardless of race or color. Gradually the Negro is accepting a lowered standard that is forcing him into intellectual serfdom Who will call a halt? KIDDIES' CORNER TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

But few of us have ever heard of a fish, and the same fish, at that, living both in the water and on the land. However, the Nature magazine tells us in good faith that there really is such fish. He is called the climbing perch. He is a foreigner, for he lives in India, and many are the fish tales that have been whispered about him. Long ago travelers returned from the East with strange stories of this remarkable fish. Some even went so far as to claim that he was able to climb trees, and this doubtful accomplishment won for him the name, "climbing perch." Time, however, has proved that his gymnastic abilities were more or less wonderful for he possesses other traits almost as strange. When the home pond becomes crowded or when the water dries up, the climbing perch depart in crowds in every direction. They wriggle themselves quite rapidly over the land with a skill any con- tionist would envy. When the dry season descends upon the country, our versatile friend digs himself about a foot and a half into the mud. There he remains. The mud above him may be so dry that it becomes dust, and the mud around him may even be baked hard, yet the climbing perch will live through it all. And when the dry season is over and the ponds again are filled with himself and go back to his water water, this odd fish will unearth resort. BESSIE ANDERSON (15) NEGRO RACE N is for Negroes who've been long oppressed, but are now striving on to happiness. E is for education for which we all strive in order that this race of ours may long survive. G is for goal toward which we aim, and when we do reach it, it will be by a fair game. R is for road over which we travel although it is rough we'll make the best of the battle. O is for the oak that is firm and so strong, we must grow up like it as we travel along. R is for a rugged way over which we trod, but we'll soon reach the end by faith in God. A is for Almighty, the great power on high, in whom we all trust and pray to keep nigh. C is for calamities that have much been in our way, but we are still fighting on and we'll surely win the day. E is for enlightened in which day we live therefore our best to the world we'll give.

This is a rule that was listed with a long string of other health hints. But this is not Lerrigo's "Training Table," so you need not pay special attention to the health part of this rule now. What you should note here is the effect that standing up straight has on the way you think, feel, and act. Watch the fellow who stands on one leg and carries the other as if he had no use for it. He slouches not only in body but in mind. He does not think straight. Some people in a university have found out that we do our best thinking when the muscles of the body are tense, not when they are relaxed. Stand up straight and look people squarely in the eye. To do so helps a fellow to act straight. If you keep your spinal column on the perpendicular, you will feel more like saying and doing what you know to be right. CLARICE C.

When you walk along the street do you carry yourself like a soldier? Do you go along with head up, chin in, abdomen in, and back straight? Do you take long, deep breaths, so as to take a lot of oxygen into your system? Or do you belong to that group who slink along, with their heads forward and chins down on their chests, who look at the earth instead of at the sky? They have hollow chests, protruding abdomen, and curved backs. Little wonder that they become subject to all sorts of ills. Walk right and you'll grow straight and strong. GEORGE R. BEAN (13) DO NOT LOSE YOUR RUBBERS Perhaps you find that when you go to school that you have difficulty in keeping trace of your over-shoes. If so, tie two spring clothes pins on each end of a string a few inches in length. Snap your over-shoes with the pins and hang them over a nail.

Rhoulac, meanwhile through his own friends was informed of the whereabouts of Gill. Meet on Sunday The two men met in the street outside of the tailor shop and in front of 4421 Sheriff road. An argument ensued and, according to Mrs. Rachel Holcomb, an eye-witness who was seated at a front window of her home, 4420 Sheriff road, Rhoulac fired into the stomach of Gill. She said the former then stood over the prostrate form of the wounded man and shot four bullets into his body. Mrs. Holcomb testified that she has known Rhoulac since childhood. Rhoulac, whose confession to this point agrees with the story of witnesses, told headquarters detectives Sweeney and Kelly, who were dispatched to Baltimore, Md., to extradite him following his arrest Sunday as he stepped from a Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis train, that he had sold the gun, a .45 calibre automatic to a man for $6 with which he hoped to make good his escape. The revolver was recovered as well as one which Gill is said to have had in his possession when the shooting occurred. Miss Estelle Rich, who lives at the house where Gill made his home, testified that she picked up a pistol which lay in the snow by Gill's body. This pistol she placed in the attic of her house, but soon after turned it over to police. Miss Rich declared that she had never known Gill to own a gun.

AUTO PLUNGES INTO FENCE Evidently Albert Johnson, 32, of Ebnor, Md., wanted to "break the ice" in the reservoir of McMillan Park last Sunday evening. Only the 8 foot heavy iron fence which surrounds it kept him from taking a plunge with his automobile. Going west on Reservoir Drive at about 6:30 o'clock shortly after the lights were turned on, Johnson's car met in collision with one driven by Maude B. Burch (white) of 730 Webster street, which was travelling westward about to make the turn. The cars met on the turn directly across the water east of Harvard street. Johnson's car slid off the left fender of the Burch car and went lumbering down the 60 degree incline toward the icy water. The fence which stopped him was knocked down, but his car hung on the brink while he held his breath. Johnson escaped without bodily injury, but he was hurt mentally when Tenth precinct police ordered him to court on a charge of reckless driving.

CARDUI A Beneficial Topic THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1928 VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY GETS $200,000 IN CASH RICHMOND, Va.—A new $100,- 000 dormitory and $100,000 for addi- tional endowment is assured for the Virginia Union University, a Negro liberal arts college in Richmond, it was announced by President W. J. Clark. In the campaign just concluded the Negroes raised $90,000. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, added $10,- 000 to that, making it $100,000. An equal amount then was avail- able from the general education board. The first hundred thousand will be used to build a dormitory for 100 girls. The second will go into the endowment. Dr. Clark declared that the Negroes of Virginia gave $65,000 of the $50,000. The remaining $25,000 was given by Negroes elsewhere in this country. A great part of the contributions came from alumni of the university and their churches. This university, Dr. Clark said, was established in 1865. It has devoted particular attention to training Negroes for the ministry. It is Baptist in denomination. Graduates are qualified to enter Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, the University of Chicago and other schools. There are now 450 students at the university, 250 of whom are boys. Dr. Clark paid high praise to the Negroes who so loyally, he said, supported their university. He was very hopeful of its future in the life of the city, state and nation. LETTERS TO THE EDITORS DEFENDS THEATER SEG GREGATION Editor, Washington Tribune: Being an ardent reader of your paper, please allow me a small space therein and bear with me while I challenge a cause of no little importance. This humble writer, a young man and student of a city high school, has been prompted to take up his pen, for the purpose of ridiculing a monstrous dictum—a statement that came from the lips of a fellow student. With no small degree of seriousness, the student said to me: "I don't see any difference between the gallery of the Gayetty Theatre from that of the gallery of the Howard Theatre. This statement in itself is true, perhaps. The galleries of the two theatres may be practically the same materially. But to sit in the Howard gallery means that you have not the price of a better seat or that you prefer it, but to sit in the Gayetty gallery means that you have accepted inferiority. He also contended that he saw no harm in patronizing a jim crow house. Of course, I could not see why he could not see the moral evil in segregation. As little capable as this humble writer is to argue I was able to bring unto him much embarrassment. He had only a meagre defense. "Better shows," was his contention for submitting to this American disgrace. This young man is not the only one whom I must call attention to. There are other young men, who are goers to the Gayety, a jim crow theatre. Many of these boys are of class, good social standing and popular. And some of this same number are or are preparing to be champions of worthy causes of the race. Is it lack of discretion that these boys so thoughtlessly accept such bias insulting offerings? These boys denounce segregation in one place and accept it in another. We can not progress this way against this or any other evil. It is not enough to say that to humble one's self to segregation is harmful, we must realize that it is dangerous. If we accept it in one place we'll be more than apt to be forced to accept it in another. Let us not defeat our own cause by failing to uphold sound democratic principals. The evil of segregation is more than twofold. It is like unto a contagious disease. It grows with what it feeds upon. Like an infection it spreads, and it contaminates all that it touches. Already it is a menace to our civilized nation. Every individual, with at least one spark of decency, should yell against it unrelentlessly and should not be caught yielding to some, unless absolutely necessary. In the case of the Gayety house, it is not necessary—hence there is no excuse. May one and all join in arms in defense of ethical standards so that our beloved race, as well as our nation, may ever live and prosper. Alfred D. Brockenborough 1308 22nd St. N.W.

McCoy in criminal court. He had been indicted on a charge of first degree murder. Williams shot Mrs. Ward on October 31, 1927, at Second and I streets, southeast. As she was running away from him after he had threatened to kill her, he fired five shots at her. Two bullets took effect, one striking her in the stomach. After his arrest Williams told the police that he killed Mrs. Ward because he loved her. He was remanded for sentence. The maximum penalty for second degree murder is life imprison- The National Memorial Association, of which Ferdinand D.

CA, TRUTH ae ae eo | “But trathing it in love, ma grow up in all things into hin who is the head, even Christ.” Ephesians 4:15. We are living in a difficult, dan gerous, disappointing time. Th reactions of the Great War are not what some fondly hoped they ‘would be. Yet the Christian i an optimist. He believes that “al things work together for good tc them that love.” His program involves social welfare and ethical ‘idealism, as well as personal sal: vation. The Apostle suggests in the text a method of living which will help-us to keep our optimism and to realize our Christian pro- gram. I haye translated the text liter- ally. Paul used the present active participle of the Greek verb “to truth.” We have no such yerb in English, but the words hope and love are used by us as both noun and verb. ‘The Greek uses the word truth in a similar way. “Truthing,” like hoping or loving, expresses the actite idea of the word from which it is derived. This is the thought which the Apostle wished to So “Speak- ing truth” or “dealing truly” as the familiar rendering is, does not convey his rea! meaning, though suggesting it, According to the Bible, truth is something to be known. “Ye shall know the truth,” said Jesus, Truth is also something to be done. “He that doeth truth shall come to the light.” The Christian is one who knows and does the truth or one who truths it in every re- lation in life. To illustrate, We must truth it in dealing with physical nature, for God has made the world to conform to law and order, You cannot fool nature. A house, if it, is to stand, must be built ac- cording to truth, We must truth it when we tinker with a gas en- gine or it will not run. We must truth it in matters of health or pay the penalty, ‘Truth is one and of God and is to be sought and followed in every sphere. ‘The scientist needs to truth it in reli- ‘gion and the theologian needs to truth it in science. If we all were honest, intellectually, what a bless- ing it would be, Many useless disputes would cease, secessionisas, that he will tolerate In sharp contrast the forward- When we turn our attention to our human relationships, we can see the need for heeding the Apos- tle’s injunction, If those in the homes of America wouldd truth it in love, we would not face the sad fact that nearly one marriage in every six ends in a divorce. If the eye of any one who is dissatisfied with his home relations chances to read this I earnestly recommend homes of America would truth it in love in his attitude and dealing oy those in his home. Be sincere nd helpful, Take your home se- viously and give your best to its welfare. What is the matter with the business world?

If both capitalists ‘and laborers would truth it, deal fairly and honesty, each seeking the wofare of the other party, how, much better it would be for all. We can truth it in the various relations in which we stand to each, other only as love motivates us, but when and where love is the dynamic power, all these problems, which I have referred to, will be solved. Christian love is not mete sentiment, but a consuming passion to do all possible for the one loved. As God loved us we ought to love each other. Love will express ite solt In “eruthing 18.” with final re, sult that we “shall grow up in all things into him who is the head, even Christ.” The very best way to become Christlike is to practice this greas principle of truthing it in love, for Christianity is not ereed nor ceree mony. It is knowing and doing truth. We learn to do by dole, We need,to develop “motor right- cousness.” Many suffer fatty degeneration of the eptrisual ‘heart or from atrophy of the con- science or from paralysis of the moral will. ‘The cure for these diseases is to exercise the spiritual ‘nature, A Le Poses: igs years ago in his let, Self-Mastery Through Conscious’ Au tion ,taught us to say, “Day by day, ‘in every way, I am getting better ‘and better.” Paul gives us a better rule of life, “Truth it in love.” ‘Say it over and over.

This ‘is especially so at the First street aehool where Red and Black court games are being witnessed by au- diences which jam the sidelines and Back the gallery. » Up on the “hill” the Bisons work- ut before large turnouts of en- fhused fans, Last Saturday, a game between the first and second Varsity teams was observed by ‘several hundred.

Stott, who was then sports editor, to an expected settlement in regard to a Dempsey-Wills match. This was during the time that the Brown Panther was pull- ing a grobe trotter stunt in an ef- fort to get a chance at Jack's crown, I do believe that year did see a settlement. If I know a little a- bout sports, I believe it was DEFINITELY settled long before 1923 that Wills and Dempsey should never be allowed to get in the same ring with one another. It was not, however, until both of them were knocked for a row of gilberries that the public real- esdodk tes eculin't be. LOOKIN’ 1HRU OUR FILES Peering through the Tribune files the other day we were struck to learn of some of the happenings of by-gone days.

When Coach. Hamblin’s men uncorked their fast, short passing offense, the local’ boys were completely overshadowed. ‘The 5-point advantage the visi- tors enjoyed at termination time was gained early in the game. At the half they were ahead 13-8. A colorful crowd which turned out despite the very bad weather, left the school court satisfied that it had witnesesd one of the fast- est exhibitions of modern basket- ball presented to Distriet fandom this season. ‘The Yellowjackets were so well versed in their art that the. blue and white style of play was com- pletely. snowed under. Coach Burr started his second string material, but the aggressive invaders soon forced the Howard mentor to bring on his more re- liable henchmen. ‘ Woods made the most of his playing opportunity by inserting 4 field baskets and 3 free tosses to the locals’ cause. In the warm-up affair the much improved Manchester machine forced the Howard Frosh quint every minute of game time before a 21-19 verdict. ‘The Freshmen came from behind in the closing minutes to win the uphill struggle.

Music by Pendleton’s Kampus Knights ADMISSION ......+++0¥e++++++++-50 CENTS Carlisles Play Community Feb. 14 James Marcus E. Vance, erst- while local basketball promoter and manager of the Omega Psi Phi quint, has succeeded in matching the teams which have had so much trouble coming to terms for a clash Conway's Carlisles meet the Com- munity Yellowjakets at the Col- onnade Valentine night. The black and white checks, having suffered much humiliation in the face of the amount of criti- cism they have been subjected to from their own well-wishers as well as those on the Community side, are geared up for the battle. Conway and his tossers have grad- ually arisen to a point of indigna- tion at the reflections cast on them because it was alleged that they were none too anxious to play the chesty Yellowjackets. ‘The Carlisles have been, at all times, according to members of the squad, willing to take on the Com- munity team, but owing to the in- ability of the managers,of the two teams to come to terms, the match has never materialized. From the Comunity camp comes indication of a do or die spirit. The orange and black quint, having chased the older checks for the most part of the 1927 season are rejoicing that they have at last been able to secure a date on the Carlisle schedule. ‘The Community five, which last year boasted of the city’s amateur championship and which bursted a surprise bomb in the quarters of the Alco, District championship club, has’ seen a poor season to date. ‘Though their basketball has by no means approached the brand of court play they exhibited last sea- son, the young sensations of 1927 have lost none of their followers. Since January 25, when they took an uphill battle from the ‘strong Philadelphia Peerless, the ‘Yellowjackets have been holding secret practice sessions in an effort to subdue their high-geared ri- vals. ‘ From the public stand point, ap- pearances are that no game in the past has ever been so énthusiasti- cally welcomed. When announce- ment of the coming lash was first made, court fans expressed much satisfaction. ‘The game will take place Tues- day, February 14. 1 FAST N.C. GIRLS’ TEAM By “Lou” Jefferson On Saturday, January 21, two basketball teams composed of Howard University girls, clashed for supremacy in the Y. W. C. A. gym, when North Carolina defeat: ed Virginia, 34-10. For the first few minutes of play, the teams seemed equally matched, but later the speedy for- ward for North Carolina, Miss Louise Martin, came through the Virginia defenge and made a couple of floor shots. This aroused the ire of the Virginia basketeers and through the North Carolina lines sped Billy Vaughan to make a shot and double back, scoring 4 points. The Virginia team was held to- gether bythe pep of Eva Hilton, who near the end of the first half made a spectacular shot. Other luminaries for the Virginia team were Ella Haith, “Little Bits,” and Thelma Fletcher, while the stars for North Carolina were Rutk ‘Doby, the wonder guard, and Ma tin. | Referee: Mise 2.

From this point on both teams strived to gain the lead. Long shots and ones from difficult angles kept the score close.

CARLISLE BASKETBALL TEAM QUITS LEAGUE Official announcement was made Wednesday that the Carlisle Field Club, Washington's representative in the Eastern League of Asso- ciated Basketball Clubs had with- drawn from the circuit. While it had been rumored’ on numerous and various - occasions before this week, that the Carlisles had quit the league, Ewell Con- way, manager of the local checks did not reach a definite decision until, Wednesday. He told the Tribune reporter that in view of the letter he had ‘received from league officials asking him “not to quit,” he had kept the matter un- der consideration until this time. His action in withdrawing from the circuit is attributed, he said, to th» forfeiture of the games his team had won. The league officials ordered a cancellation of all Car- lisle wins hecause of their use of alleged ineligible players. Ed Davis and Slim Henderson, the men in. question, according to the local boss, were not ineligible since their membership with the Carlisle quint has been lengthy. Conway did admit, however, that he was late sending in a players’ list which the officials required of all clubs. Concerning the tardiness of send- ing in the list of club players Mr, Conway points out in Clause II of Resoluiton 13, that the penalty for such an offense “is a fine” and not the “forfeiture of all games.” Putting on steam in the final seconds the Armstrong High School tossers finished ahead of the fast progressing Federal Clothing Store basketball team in the Armstrong gym, Wednesday. The score was 20-18. ‘The game, though rough in spots, was the fastest and most interest- ing one played this year on the Tech court. Coach “Jimmy” Lee's team was nosed out just as the final whistle was about to sound. With the score 18-16 in their fa- vor the Federals were puttnig on a masterly freeze when Graham, the ‘Armstrong captain, intercepted a dribble and caged a goal to even the count. When the ball was tossed in center following this basket, Graham gave a perfect tap to Cawthorne who shot the win- ning basket off balance. -- TOGANS GIVE DANCE The Togan A.

Official Issues Statement On Position of Eastern League Bruce Flowers In Draw Go With Foreign Boxer By J. S. Caldwell (General Mgr. Eastern League) When the Eastern League of Associated Basketball Clubs was organized, it was done so with a particular aim in view. The con- ditions that existed among the leading amateur teams were de- plorable. Basketball had fallen from a once lofty position to the bottom of the athletic ladder. I weed not elaborate on that. There were some teams in the East that were good in spite of the havoc that wild-catism had wrought. There were some teams that were in the sport purely for the love of the sport and some teams that were in the game pure- ly for the love of the money. That we might have a successful or- ganization, we had tc choose with the utmost care. There were some teams invited to join the circuit and some that wére not invited. There were some invited who were unable to realize the potential possibilities of an organized circuit and who consequently did not come in. Those not invited have accused the managers of the league of slighting them. No Slighting If we have slighted a team it has not been intentional. It has been because we were not informed as to the intent of the team, its home and its name. We had to have a neucleous about which to establish an organization. The neucleous. was St_ Christopher, Vandals, Capitol Club (Asbury Park), Vanguard Postal, Carlisle and the Tuxedo Tigers (East Or- ange). It was absolutely necessary that we build about teams whose pas' performance records spoke for NEW YORK CITY.—Outfought in the early going, Bruce Flowers came back strong to obtain a draw verdict in his ten-round bout with Lope Tenorio at Madison Square Garden, last Friday night. Though the Filipino was the aggressor throughout the first six rounds, Flowers’ comeback in the closing stanzas put him on an even footing. The Negro fighter rallied when he caught Tenorio tiring and took advantage of every opportun- ity to poke his adversary. In the first round Flowers. did little more than size his man up. ‘Twice in the second frame Flow- "orn’ daw. was: reached and the Ne- themselves, In other words we had to band those who were capable of producing the goods—the best teams in the East. Teams backed by organizations and men who were in sport purely for the love of the sport and not the money in- volved. Some Teams Skeptical ‘There have been the usual well- wishers, but skeptics, who were content to watch the progress of the league and wish that if it is successful, they be considered as applicants for the next season. I may state here and now, that while we would like to have every team in the Bast in the league as a mem- ber of the major circuit it will be impossible. There is possibly room for three more members of the major circuit. The others will have to become associated with the local circuits, which will be subsidiaries of the major circuit. Open Invitation ‘To those who were not invited to join the league, I extend a most cordial invitation to acquaint us with your desire, and I assure you that the Eastern League officials will not slight you in any manner. Carlisles Quit ‘There has been only one team out of the original seven teams that made up the neucleus, that has shown its desire to terminate mnections with the association, and that is the Carlisle Club of Washington, D.C. Although the main reasons are not definitely known, those close to the situation reveal that its financial difficulties together with the fact that the Carlisles lost three geames in a row because its manager did riot send his players’ list in at the time stipulated in the by-laws, were the (Continued .on paxe 7)’ gro’s knees sagged. The third round was a nightmare for Teno- rio. A terrific right hand hitter, the Oriental cracked down twice on Flowers’ chin but Bruce only smiled. A smile which was paint- ed with confidence. ‘The battle waned from round 3 to round 7 when once again the foreigner landed a telling blow. Reaching the pit of Flowers’ stom- ach, Tenorio sent the Negro down, but’ Bruce was up without a count. From that point on Flowers gave the fatiguing Filipino a severe lac- ing. He chased Tenorio back and forth across the ring ripping him with lefts and rights which con- stantly rained from chin to jaw. SPORTS BLUEFIELD-HOWARD GAME FEBRUARY 11 Coach Harry R. Jefferson and his up-todate Bluefield basketball team will appear here the night of Saturday, February 11, when they meet the blood-tnirsty Howard quint on the "hill" court. Seeking vengeance on their next opponent regardless of whom it may be, the Bisons will meet the Mountaineers with blood in their eyes. Not only do the wearers of the Blue and White feel that they must avenge a nasty wound inflicted through an 18-6 football setback at the hands of the Bluefielders, but they are doubly sore since the Yellowjackets from Institute humbled them on their own court Monday night. Coach Burr declares that his men are facing a tough week of strenuous preparation in making ready for the invading host from the coal regions. COMMUNITY YELLOWJACKETS BEST DUNBAR NIGHT SCHOOL TOSSERS After the reversal of the Community Big "5" Wednesday afternoon the Community Yellowjacket reserves led by the Dunbar night school coach decided to even the score with a victory over the nighters. Accepting the challenge offered him by his understudies, he with some of his Community teammates turned in a 20-9 victory before a large audience. The first half was full of thrills with the nighters fighting desperately. The session, however, ended 8-7 against them. In the second half both teams displayed fine team play, but the scoring of the Yellowjackets was not to be denied. Joe Walker and Coach Williams with six points apiece were the high scorers for the winners, while Barksdale and Armstrong, with four and three points, respectively, were the Dunbar mainstays. Captain George Dines's guarding was also worthy of notice. The Celtics, pride of Baltimore, will be the opponents for the next big game. For the second time this season the Dunbar nighters defeated the Shaw Junior high in a practice game, the score being 30-11, Armstrong, Barksdale, Taylor and Dines were the high scorers for the winners, while Johnson and Bland were Shaw's best.

Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Jan. 27—An exhibition indoor tennis match will be held in the Hampton Institute gymnasium on the night of February 3 in an effort to stimulate interest in indoor tennis, as well as tennis generally. The team of Dr. Ellwood Downing and Dr. J. L. McGriff was famous as national champions of the former years. Dr. Downing, in American Tennis Association in the National Tennis Tournament held at Hampton Institute last summer, extended the present champion in the singles, Ted Thompson, to the limit. Although the team of Richard (Dick) Huddlin and W. Allison Davis has not been together for long it is expected the former champions will have their hands full when they meet February 3. W. Allison Davis is the new flash that entered the National Tennis Tournament for the first time and with his partner, Sterling-Brown of Washington, D. C., climbed to the top of the ladder in doubles, only to be beaten back by the invincible combination of Ted Thompson and Tally Holmes of the same city. NO BASKETBALL AT DOUGLASS HIGH BALTIMORE, Md. — Assistant Superintendent of School Coleman handed down a decision in the case of local school teams and their out of town games Tuesday. The ruling threatens to put a ban on athletics at the various schools. The question arose over the practice of granting privileges to teams representing schools to take long trips'. The white high schools until this year had been in a habit of sending their atletics on tours which took in anywhere from one to three or four days, time which was taken from the young men's studies. Douglas Hit The Douglass High School, coloned, is hit hard by the ruling. With only a few club teams and no other high school of their class in the city, Coach L. U. Gibson and his boys will probably be forced to spend most of their season watching the Elks, Athletians and Morgan College perform. While they had made no preparations whatever for the basketball season, the "Ducks" have had a schedule made out since last year. Their annual games with Dumbar and Armstrong of Washington may have to be cancelled. SHAW PRESENTED CUP RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 22—At a meeting of the North Carolina Athletic Union at Brickts, the Shaw University basketball team was awarded a silver loving cup as symbol of its superiority over other Carolina teams, on the hardwood floor during the 1927 season.

BRAMLETTE NAW IAN ROYING of the cup to the university and briefly recalled the achievements of the team under the coaching of H. D. Martin. The team won every game played in state circles and lost only one in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, hence they were champions of both the North Carolina conference and the C.I.A.A. The regular five was composed of Armstrong and Baldwin forwards, Diamond center, and Captain Black and Hayes guards. These "horsemen" were ably assisted by Browning, Peace and Manager Wells. The team was a power both on the offense and the defense. The scoring power was developed from the fact that the team was a unit as is shown by the fact that they registered 410 points to their opponents' 258. Captain Armstrong was high point man for the team and the state with 102 points. He vied with Davis of Virginia Seminary for C. I. A. A. honors in the scoring column. The entire five was a clever assortment of basketteers. Coach Cook has built a great "5" for 1928 around Black and Armstrong and material from the Freshman class. Of these newcomers Bass and Long have made great showings and Baker and Walker are fighting it out for positions on the big five. The team has every chance to repeat their last year's performance and it seems that they are headed in that direction. Their next game will be with Lincoln February 8 at Raleigh. Syphax and Peters were leading scorers for Dunbar with ten and seven points respectively while Butler with fourteen points stood out for the locals. ASSOCIATED BASKETBALL LEAGUE Standing of Teams G.

It has been stated that the reason for the disgruntled attitude on the part of the Carlisles was due to alleged ineligibility of Henderson and Ed Davis, but nothing could be further from the truth. The league has never raised any objection to an amateur player, regardless of ability. But the fact that these names as well as all the other members of the team were not filed to the association was taken as a gross infraction of the rules and a definite step had to be taken to insure a square deal. Although it is to be regretted that the Carlisles went out of the league; it must be remembered that no one team can make or break an organization that thrives on co-operation. The rest of us are sticking for the "good of the sport." The average golfer walks about 5 miles in playing 18 holes. Dr. BOUSFIELD VISITS CITY Dr. M. O.

Lowery Opposes Again Representative Lowery is the maker of the points of order against the Howard University appropriations this year. He also made similar points of order last year. Items totaling $890,000 for Howard University were stricken from the Interior Department appropriation bill upon his points of order. The Senate will most likely restore them. Following the committee meeting Chairman Reed stated that he expects to get early action in the House upon this measure. Dr. Mordealal W. Johnson, president, and Dr. Emmett J.

Fear Loss of Teachers Dr. Scott says: "The increase in the salary scale of other Negro colleges threatens to draw off our most competent men. Two State colleges are already prepared to offer our professors more than they receive at Howard, while one college has threatened to break the backbone of our faculty by offering four of our most competent professors nearly twice the salary they now receive. "Under the double pressure of a constant struggle to maintain a standard of living equal to that of the public school teachers who are their pupils and daily associates, and the growing power of other institutions to draw off our more competent men by better salaries, Howard University must increase salaries or suffer grevious loss in personnel, in the caliber of its work, and in the educational leadership which the discriminating aid of the Federal Government in former years has enabled her to establish." The Salary Budget According to estimates, the salary budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929, will amount to $265,541. Of this amount the Government is asked to contribute $160,000. A chemistry building was described by Dr. Scott as the most urgent of four buildings now needed by Howard University. Authorization for the construction and equipment of a chemistry building at a total cost of $390,000 is asked. Of this sum the Congress is urged to appropriate $150,000 in the Interior Department appropriation bill for 1929. The three other buildings needed, Dr. Scott stated, are a boys' dormitory, an administration building, and a central building to be used as an assembly hall which would be used for commencement. Y.

It had earlier in the revolution been used as a base for landing men and supplies for the Cuban army, but at the time of General Maceo's death was the headquarters of the Spanish army trying to bottle up or destroy his army in the west end of the island. All the summer and fall of 1896, the Spaniards had suffered defeat after defeat, Maceo strategically drawing them in detachments here and there, while the other Cuban armies (one of them under command of Maceo's brother, Jose) were menacing Havana from the east. On December 7, 1896, while making a reconnaissance inside of the Spanish lines, with his staff and a few men, General Macco and his party were surrounded and cut to pieces. One member of the staff "escaped," and later gave himself up to the Spaniards who granted him amnesty. It was believed by the Cubans that this man betrayed Macco into an ambush. Organizes Another Revolution General Macco had taken part in the revolution which began in 1838 and lasted until 1880 when a peace was signed by all the generals except himself. He came to the United States and assisted in organizing another revolution which was launched in 1895. Murat Healstead, famous as editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, in his book, "America's New Possessions" (1899), referring to this rebellion, says, (page 132): "The young white men of Cuba who took the field failed fast MADAM H World's Greatest Palmist MADAME H tells Past, Present and Future.

MILLER'S ALL GIRLS REVUE AT THE HOWARD THEATRE NEXT WEEK For the week beginning Monday matinee, February 6, the stage attraction at the Howard will be something entirely new and novel by that well known producer Irvin C. Miller. It is entirely new in as much as the entire cast as well as the chorus is composed wholly of girls. There are forty people in the show of nothing but girls. The title of the production is "All-Girls Revue," featuring Dink Thomas, Mercius Marguiz, Ada Banks, Sara Colman, Ismay Andrews, Josephine Byrd, Marion Bradford, Caloway Sisters, Gonzella. There will be a wonderful musical treat for the lovers of music in something that is different—that is Nona Welch and her six piano players. Imagine six pianos on the stage all playing at one time. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the screen attraction will be "Rolled Stockings," featuring James Hall, Louis Brooks. "Rolled Stockings" is Paramount's latest picture. It concerns two brothers who go to college and fall in love with the same girl. The serious youth becomes a philandering while his jazzy brother naturally discovers that his life has been a series of errors and decides to change his way. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen "Dress Parade," featuring William Boyd, the star of "The Volga Boatman" and "The Yankee Clipper," ably supported by Miss Bessie Love. This is a thrilling drama of cadet life at West Point. All of the scenes in this production were actually made at the historical old military academy and during many of the scenes hundreds of the cadets of the academy were used. All through the entire production a sweet and delicate love theme is woven. On Friday night the regular midnight ramble will be held beginning at 12:15 sharp. Tickets for the ramble go on sale at the box office of the theatre on Saturday of the week before the show. GILBERT AND GARBO IN "LOVE" AT LINCOLN NEXT WEEK John Gilbert and Greta Garbo, who as a team, scored one of the sensational successes of the year in "Flesh and the Devil" and whose real life romance immediately following, furnished gossip for film fans the world over, appear again before the camera, for the first time since, in "Love" Metro Goldwyn Mayer's spectacular filmization of Anna Karenina Tolstoy's classic of Russia which come to the Lincoln Theatre for five days beginning Sunday, February 5 until Thursday, February 9. The picture, a most gorgeous and spectacular film presents both in roles that perhaps fit them better than any others that could be imagined. Gilbert splendidly uniformed is seen as the debonair, a romantic Count Vronsky, a role that recalls his great hit in "The Merry Widow," with Miss Garbo in the role of the tragic Anna who sacrifices all for love, only to be JOHN GILBERT and GRETA GARBO in "LOVE" dogged by a strange and sinister doom. The cast includes, as the Grand Duke, George Fawcett, who played the king in "The Merry Widow," Brandon Hurst as the husband, Count Karenin, Philippe DeLacy, Emily Fitzroy and others of note. Among the players are several interesting characters, Prince Youca Troubletzko, playing a staff officer. On the screen for Friday and Saturday, February 10 and 11 will be seen Tim McCoy in "Foreign Devils." Students of history and lovers of romantic adventure will find "Foreign Devils" one of the best productions of that type ever filmed. The picture is produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and stars Tim McCoy. It is based on the boxer uprising in China and the immortal defense of the foreign compounds by the white men and women, whom the Chinese were attempting to massacre. On Saturday, only, will be shown the Universal Chapter play "The THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1928 Trail of the Tiger," starring Jack Mower and Jack Dougherty. At 9 p.m. sharp will be opportunity night at which time three cash prizes will be given the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience HOWARD R.O.T.C. BAND AT MINER NORMAL LINCOLN OU The Li week is s TOURGEE DEBOSE PIANO RECITAL FASCINATING Dean Lucy Slowe, chairman of the committee on public recitals for the Howard University series of 1928 choosed Tourgee Debose noted pianist, as the initial artis and wisely indeed was the selection made. Tourgee Debose, the little wonder man of the keyboard, gave such an artistic pianistic program that the audience left gasping at the finale. The recital was held in Rankin Memorial Chapel. Some had heard him before, others had not but altogether it was a gathering that proved deeply appreciative of his ability. It is futile to attempt to embroider with adjectives the fact of this man's genius. Sufficient to admit that he is really a genius and a well balanced one. Bach's "Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue" was a piece of technical grandeur given with a fine singing legato with which he developed the fugue in classic style. Brahm's "Capriccio" and Schubert's "Impromptu" closed the first group. We next listened to the poet of music, Chopin, that master of pianoforte literature in "Two Polonaises, Op. 28" "Valse in G Flat," "Scherzo in C Sharp Minor," "Impromptu," "Valse in E Minor," and "Ballade in A Flat." These Chopin numbers were given with fine technique combined with rare feeling Modern DeBussy stepped upon the scene with his "Sarabande," "La Fille Aux Cheveau De Lin" and "Reflets Dans Leau." Colorful? -Yes, and a decided contrast to the delicate Brahm's "Capriccio" or the poetic Chopin or the classical from Bach. But Debussy was delightfully refreshing. The closing two Lizzt numbers, "Concert Etude in F Minor" and "Rhapsody No. 3" showed brilliant forte work and was given a clearness of interpretation and a depth of understanding that was wonderful in its excellence. An encore number of a fascinating character was given at the close so insistent was the demand. The second recital in 1928 series will present Elizabeth Sinkford, Jovic soprano, Friday, February 17. HOWARD R.O.T.C. BAND AT MINER NORMAL Sergeant John J. Brice, U.S.A., led his Howard University R.O.T.C. Band to Miner Normal School, Tuesday morning January 24, and gave a fine account of his stewardship since appointed to Howard. During the first quarter of autumn we had the pleasure of hearing the band soon after its organization. We sat intensively and observed the practice routine and rehearsal at the noon hour and concluded then and there that Sergeant Brice would bring the band around in due time as he proved to be an assidious and indefatigable leader, the boys meantime responding with alacrity to his baton. The improvement noted in the various choirs of the band and the combined effort of the whole at that time lead us to discern the results as far-reaching in the ultimate attainment of efficiency as a school band. Henry Fillmore's march "The Man of the Hour" opened with dash and vivacity, "Spirit of the Age," overture by Al. Hayes, showed the versatility of the band as its blending tone colors revealed depth of thought and the phrasing was very good. Beethoven's "Minuet in G" and Haye's "Southern Melodies" followed with excellent results. "Charmaine" popular waltz by Erno Rapee and Lew Pollack proved a gem in its bewitching, dreamy atmosphere and was encored. "The Western World," overture by Ed. Chennette and the march "Minstrel Man" by W. M. Talbott, closed a most delightful and pleasing program by the band. Mr. Long, the principal of the school spoke commendably of the program, and to our mind the "kiddies" received the greatest joy from the musicians. They shook their little heads and beat their hands together with utmost glee and satisfaction. Sergeant Brice proved himself a splendid director of fine rhythmic and interpretative powers and with a delightfully graceful motion he wielded the baton with cunning dexterity. In him we discover an able successor to Warrant Officer Dorsey Rhodes, former H.U. band leader now stationed at a western army post. You will hear more from that band later on.

It was the second theatre to be added to the Lichtman chain, which now includes in addition, the Howard, the Jewel, the Rosalia, and the Royal of Baltimore. The program, aside from the picture of the theatre on the cover page, carries pictures of all the colored employees of the organization, and of Mr. Lichtman. There are eighteen colored persons employed by the firm, Rufus G. Byars being the supervisor of the theatre. ESSIE LOVE QUEEN TRIUMPHS IN DRAMATIC RECITAL By Wellington Adams The Rev. Dr. J. C. Olden, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, presented Mme. Essie Love Queen, elocutionist, in a program of dramatic expression that dazzled her hearers, to say the least. While the audience was small due to weather conditions, those present took home an impression of artistic character portrayals that will not soon be erased from their memory. During the program incidental music was played by Mrs. S. W. Olden and one of the pleasing features presented was the rendition of an original composition by little Miss Slyvia Olden, ten years old, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Olden. The five years of musical instruction given her by her mother, Mrs. Olden who is a graduate of Fisk University Music Department, has proved the value of her systematic effort as her composition as played was above the average ability of one so young.
