EX-WIFE HAS RANG TANG ORCHESTRA LEADER ARRESTED FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 33 DR. MORDECAI JOHNSON AND THE NEGRO PRESS When Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson was chosen president of Howard University, the entire Negro press hailed the event as the beginning of a new era at the university. During the whole two years of his administration, the Negro press has supported him to the fullest extent. But, unfortunately, it cannot be said that during this period Dr. Johnson has supported the Negro press. During his administration on many occasions, Dr. Johnson has actually denied the press and public news and information that, as president of Howard University, it was incumbent upon him to give out. His latest offense against the press was the denial of legitimate news releases on the semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees which met at the university on Tuesday, February 7. Despite the fact that the president as well as the secretary-treasurer made their reports, and much other important business was transacted, the only news that Dr. Johnson would permit, his office to give to the press was the tames of the trustees who attended the meeting and the fact that Dr. Walter G. Crump, who was elected a trustee last June, addressed the student body. What did the president's report show as to the enrollment of the school?; the size of the deficit, if any?; the financial condition of the university?; the plans for the future development? etc. It is not the right of the public to know these matters according to the attitude of President Johnson. His only excuse for not giving out a resume of these reports was that he wanted to carefully "think over" any statement before giving it cut. Dr. Johnson's process of thinking is either seriously impaired or he isn't capable of meeting the requirements of his office in its relation to the public. Time after time newspaper reporters have called at Dr. Johnson's office seeking information with reference to events that were happening at the university, only to be told that he could not be seen for two or three days; or, an audience being permitted, the reporter was told that such and such a professor possibly would have the information. Finding the professor, the reporter would be informed that "the committee (of which the president was a member) voted not to give out any information to the press." When the football strike was on last fall, Dr. Johnson refused information to the press, for no reason yet explained. He and his committee even went out of their way to keep the press from getting correct and authentic news. The same condition prevailed when Howard refused to pay Wilberforce its guarantee when the latter forfeited the football game. Now Dr. Johnson has extended his strange silence even to the meeting of the board of trustees. Surely there can be nothing about such a meeting that he would want to suppress. Dr. Johnson should know that, as president of Howard, he is a public servant and the public is entitled to know what he thinks about university matters and what is the meaning of his each and every move.

SCHOLARSHIP OF $1000 Presentation of the first national award of the foreign fellowship of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority to Miss Ethel Catherine Harris, head of the department of mathematics in the colored high schools of the District of Columbia, was made at the founders' day celebration of the Xi Omega chapter. The exercises had a reminiscent setting. They were held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University. It was at Howard University twenty years ago that the sorority was organized. It was there that Miss Harris received her education. The presentation of the award was made by Mrs. B. Beatrix Scott supreme basileus of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. It is for the purpose of graduate study abroad. Mrs. Scott explained the method by which Miss Harris was chosen. Every local chapter of the sorority contributed to the fellowship fund. Each chapter was allowed the privilege of presenting the name of a candidate with credentials, detailing her activities in sorority affairs. Xi Omega chapter presented the name of Miss Harris. She was chosen. $1000 Check Expressing the hope that Miss Harris will derive all possible benefit and pleasure from the scholarship, Mrs. Scott presented her with a check for $1,000. To Miss Harris it is the realization of her fondest dreams. For several years, she said in accepting the award, she had dreamed of studying in Germany. This award of her sorority makes it possible. She considers it, however, "not as a personal achievement, but as an expression of one aim of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority in the making of a definite contribution to the foreign study of its members." The Board of Education of the District of Columbia has indicated that it will grant Miss Harris a leave of absence for a year to study in Germany. Before the presentation was made, Dr. Dorothy Boulding delivered an address on the ideals of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.

S. Pinkett, branch secretary. The local branch attacked segregation principally in the Treasury and Interior departments, Mr. Pinkett reported. Efforts to abolish segregation in the Treasury department, particularly in the office of the Register of the Treasury and in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, were unsuccessful. In the Interior Department, the officers of the local branch succeeded in having Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, to order the abolition of segregation. The local branch also engaged in a fight against the abuse of their power by policemen, particularly their attacking citizens who had committed no offense. One of the largest meetings ever held by the local branch was the meeting which Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer and champion of the rights of downtrodden people, addressed at the Metropolitan African Methodist Church, March 14, 1927. This meeting resulted in 500 memberships in the local branch, Mr. Pinkett reported. COHEN GET CREDENTIALS FOR REP. CONVENTION COHEN GET CREDENTIALS FOR REP. CONVENTION The credentials of the first delegate elected to the Republican national convention, which will be held in Kansas City, Mo., June 12, were received at the offices of the Republican national committee here last Friday. They are for Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1928 TAKEN FROM ORCHESTRA IN MIDDLE OF SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT AT CASINO PERRYHOWARD IS SUBSTANTIATED AS MISS. LEADER JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 10.—"Lily-white" Republicans were outmaneuvered at the meeting of the Republican State Committee of Mississippi here on February 1. They came into the meeting with a set of demands regarding the procedure to be followed in the election of delegates to the county, district, state and national conventions. Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi and state chairman, who presided, without permitting the reading of these demands, referred them to a special committee. This committee reported that the demand: of the "lily-white" Republicans were preposterous. Tried to Gain Control The avowed purpose of the "lily-whites" is to gain control of the Republican organization in Mississippi and exclude Negroes from participation in the councils of the party. They have secured a charter from the state. They sought recognition in Washington, but were advised that the organization of which Mr. Howard is the head, is the regular Republican party in Mississippi. The activities of the "lily-white" Republicans have seemingly cemented factions of the regular Republican party in Mississippi. The latest coalition includes Dr. S. D. Redmond, Thomas I. Keys of Ocean Springs, Eugene P. Booze of Mound Bayou, W. L. Mhoon, E. L. Patton, George S. Goodman of Holly Springs, W. W. Phillips of Kosciusko, Dr. D. W. Sherrod of Meridian, T. G. Ewing of Vicksburg, Dr. R. L. Johnson, C. T. Butler of Meridian, the Rev. P. E Frisby of Cannonsburg, W. H. Holtzelwaz of Utica Institute, Dr. A. W. Dumas of Natchez and Diamond Cox. To Meet in March The Republican state convention was called to meet here on March 14. The eight district conventions will meet on March 13. Dr. Redmond, Mr. Holtclaw, Professor Goodman, Mr. Booze and C. A. Whittington, white, of Tutwiler, were elected to fill vacancies on the state committee. The state committee passed resolutions endorsing the candidacy of Herbert Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, in the event that President Coolidge cannot be "drafted." Mr. Howard will manage the Hoover campaign in Mississippi. CHURCH CHOSEN AS DELEGATE TO REP. CONVENTION MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 10.—Robert R. Church was named as a delegate to the next Republican national convention by the Republican tenth congressional district convention held at the courthouse here Saturday afternoon. Lester H. Brenner, white, United States commissioner, was chosen as his alternate. Mr. Church and Mr. Brenner were nominated by Herbert Harper, assistant United States Attorney. The nominations carried unanimously. Representative J. Will Taylor, Republican national committeeman for Tennessee, was lauded by Mr. Church, the chairman of the resolutions committee. The tenth congressional district delegate was instructed to vote for the re-election of Mr. Taylor as national committeeman. The congressional committee selected at the meeting includes G. Tom Taylor, L. B. Phillips, Dave Hamover, H. W. Wilkerson, L. H. The Gertie Wells-Elmer Snowden matrimonial controversy broke out anew Thursday night, February 9, when the popular musician was arrested on a warrant sworn out by his former wife. The warrant was served by a United States marshal while Mr. Snowden was directing his Rang Tang orchestra at the Murray Palace Casino. He had arrived in town from New York City only two hours earlier. He was charged with unlawfully deserting his wife and infant child. It was sworn to before Commissioner Needham C. Turnage. Mrs. Gertie Wells Perry, which is her present name, as she was married to James S. Perry, October 26, 1925, swore out the warrant in her first name as Gertrude Snowden. However, Mrs. Perry was awarded a divorce in Arlington, Va., in April of 1926 from Elmer Snowden. Mr. Snowden and his former wife have had many legal skirmishes since their marriage in 1921. Mrs. Perry was arrested on a charge of bigamy in Baltimore shortly after she married her second husband, but when Mr. Snowden refused to prosecute, the case was dropped. Mr. Snowden was mystified when arrested Thursday and said he could ascribe no reason at all for his former wife's action, as he was just in Washington two weeks ago and saw Mrs. Perry at the time. At this same time, he purchased for his child many items of clothing, etc. At the time, Mr. Snowden said, Mrs. Perry did not indicate in the least that she had any animus against him. As the warrant was sworn to before a United States Commissioner, no bail could be accepted at the Eighth Precinct where the marshal carried Mr. Snowden, until the commissioner had been located. Willie (Red) Wells, a brother of Mrs. Perry, who was in the Casino at the time of the arrest, immediately went to the aid of Mr. Snowden. He offered $300 in cash as bond and exerted every effort to effect the release of his former brother-in-law. Mrs. Gertrude Snowden Perry, accompanied by two United States marshals, and two friends, drove to the Casino just before the arrest was made. Their car was parked on the north side of U street and Mrs. Perry with her friends remained in the car so she could see her former husband being carried into the Eighth Precinct after his arrest. Commissioner Turnage was located at his home, and Mr. Snowden, with his bondsman, was rushed there where bond to the amount of $500 was posted for his appearance before the commissioner Friday morning. When Snowden returned to the Casino he was hailed by the hundreds of dancers and friends. "On with the music," was the cry and in a few minutes Snowden was again picking the enchanting notes from his magic banjo. BOY HONORED DURING SCOUT ANNIVERSARY Cyprian Haitman, a member of Tropp 500 of the Colored Sea Scout Troop was signally honored last night at Dunbar High School in the presentation to him of the Boy Scout Gold Medal of Honor. This medal is awarded for bravery and is given each year to only one of the hundred thousand Scouts in the country. The presentation was a feature of the celebration of the eighteenth anniversary of the organization of the Boy Scouts of America. Haitman was honored for the rescue of three colored children from a collapsing house in southeast Washington during the tornado, last November. According to the story of the rescue, he made two trips into the house to accomplish Brenner, Dr. L. A. West, C. H. King, J. R. Wright, George H. Poole and R. R. Church. C. H. King was chairman of the meeting and Dr. L. A. West acted as secretary. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W.

At first Mr. Givens refused to nol pros the charge. Mr. Holmes demanded a jury trial when the case was called in police court. Meanwhile Mr. Givens changed his mind and decided to dismiss the charge against Mr. Holmes. The charge was denied by Mr. Holmes. He claimed that he put two cents into the box when he took a paper. DR. JOHNSON'S ATTITUDE TOWARD REP. PARTY HIT AS HOWARD ITEMS PASS NINE REINSTATED IN OFFICE OF REGISTER Nine colored employees were returned from the Bureau of Engraving to the office of the Register of the Treasury last Monday. These nine employees were in a group of fifteen colored employees who were dismissed with 85 white employees by Harley V. Speelman, former register of the treasury, July 1, 1926. On protests the Treasury Department found positions for all of them in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On Monday the nine who still remained after several resignations from the original fifteen were transferred back to the "jim crow" section of the Register of the Treasury. MAKES TENS OF ONES. FAILS TO MAKE $2000BOND MAKES TENS OF ONES. FAILS TO MAKE $2000BOND Through the shrewdness of Detective Paul Jones, of the central bureau, Walter Phillips, 25, living at 1344 Riggs street, northwest, was arrested Tuesday and charged with altering $1 bills and making them appear to be $10 notes. Phillips is the inventor of a scheme whereby a ten-dollar note is split length-wise, its two halves pasted to two bills of one dollar denomination and used as currency for the larger amount. In this manner Phillips netted $8 on each alteration. The man is alleged to have passed the altered bills on John Kidd, a newsdealer living at 2213 N street, northwest, and Benjamin Jackson, a taxi driver, 1144 Nineteenth street, northwest, Kidd, who holds the half with the serial number will be able to recover his loss, but Jackson will not, according to Detective Jones. Secret service agents had been seeking Phillips for several weeks, but until Jones captured him he had been too elusive for other sleuths. Arraigned before Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Phillips was held under $2,000 bond for action of the grand jury. He is charged with violation of section 162 of the United States penal code. THREE D. C.

The Interior Department appropriation bill carrying a total of $390,000 for the maintenance and development of Howard University and $474,500 for Freedmen's Hospital was passed by the Senate last Saturday. The items for Howard University were carried in an amendment to the bill which was offered by Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, of Utah, late Friday afternoon. A vote on the amendment went over until Saturday at the request of Senator Lee S. Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina. Before the Senate agreed to the amendment, Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, directed the attention of Republican Senators to an impolitic remark made by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in a speech at an interracial convention here in November last. Quotes Howard Head In that speech, Dr. Johnson charged the Republican party with racial prejudice. "The colored race owes much to the Republican party." Dr. Johnson said, "but in its most prosperous regime and in its present dominant hour it is conforming to every phase of the regime of prejudice. Senator Blease had a newspaper report of this address read "so that the Republican party may see how much the president of Howard University loves them for this unconstitutional aid awarded each year for their faithfulness to the party." The first item for Howard University is an appropriation of the sum of $160,000 for the payment of salaries. This amount is $10,000 more than the Government gave the university last year for this purpose. The increase will be used to take care of a part of the minimum urgent needs of the school for new personnel in the academic colleges and for increases in the salaries of members of the academic faculties. The next item is for general expenses, $80,000. It is an increase of $12,000 over the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year for this purpose. This increase will be used to cover the actual cost of heating and lighting from the central plant which serves Howard University and Freedmen's Hospital. The third item is for the construction of a chemistry building; $150,000. This item authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a contract for the construction and equipment of a chemistry building at a cost not to exceed $390,000. The total cost of the building will be borne by the Government. Chemistry Building A chemistry building is the first of four buildings which Howard University hopes to have the Government erect. The others are a boys' dormitory building, an administration building, and a central building to be used for commencement and assembly meetings. Freedmen's Hospital The first item for Freedmen's Hospital is an appropriation of $142,000 for salaries. This represents an increase of $29,000 over the appropriation for the same purpose for this fiscal year. According to Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief, this increase will be used to employ a larger force to care for the patients who are applying for hospitalization in increasing numbers (Continued on page 4) Let our classified column rent that vacant room.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS BRIBING POLICE CAUGHT IN ACT INDICTED BRIBING POLICE CAUGHT IN ACT INDICTED Indictments on charges of blackmail and extortion were issued by the grand jury against Ralph G. Blasey and Robert L. Smith, a white policeman attached to the fifth precinct, Monday. The two officers were arrested by Headquarters Detectives Ogle and Weber on information furnished by Claude, Newson, 209 Virginia avenue, on October 25, 1927. They are alleged to have promised Newsome the return of a liquor car provided they were paid a cash consideration. Newson reported the "deal" to Inspector H. G. Pratt who gave him $50 in marked bills for the purpose of trapping the patrolmen. By wiping his head with handkerchief Newson signalled the detectives, who were in hiding nearby, that the money had been passed to the policemen. T. J. CALLOWAY FIGHTING FOR CLIENT'S LOTS T. J. CALLOWAY FIGHTING FOR CLIENT'S LOTS Because of the delay Thomas J. Calloway was having in getting her deeds to property she had purchased through his office, Mrs. Nettie W. Lewis, of 1442 Q street, northwest, had a warrant sworn out for his arrest Tuesday, February 7. As a real estate dealer, Mr. Calloway, who lives at Glendale, Md., purchased from Robinson White, a white lawyer, all of the lots in the Buena Vista, Md., subdivision on terms in which Robinson White agreed to release and deed lots to his purchasers as payments were made. Mr. Calloway sold Mrs. Lewis three lots for which it is claimed that she paid $900. Money in excess of this amount Mr. Calloway states, was paid to Mr. White, who, alleging a technicality, refused to sign the deeds. In order to protect the interests of his client as well as his own, Mr. Calloway, through Attorney S. Marvin Peach, entered suit against White for specific performance. Legal action in this case is now pending in Mariboro, Md., courts. Mrs. Lewis declined to make a statement of the affair except to say that she did not desire to do anything to hurt Mr. Calloway in any way. Mr. Calloway states that he has done and is doing all that is possible to secure deeds for Mrs. Lewis to which she is entitled. Attorney William L. Houston is representing Mr. Calloway. BLAINE ASSAILS COOLIDGE ON IMPERIALISM Attacking the imperialism of the United States and criticizing the address of President Coolidge before the Pan American Conference at Havana, Senator John J. Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, advocated a return to the doctrine of inherent fairness and justice to smaller and weaker nations. Senator Blaine declared that the President had failed to advise America and the world what is the American policy with respect to our southern neighbors, particularly Central and South America. He condemned the sending of marines to Nicaragua. He said that in the last 25 years, 14 out of 20 republicans to the south of us have been invaded. Modern "dollar diplomacy" was blamed by Senator Braine for the tendency to imperialism. "It is under the banner of bonds and bullets," he declared, "that all the forces of privilege march and demand that our Government guarantee their questionable and unsurious loans and unconscionable exploitation of weaker people." Senator Blaine began his speech in the Senate last Wednesday. He (Continued on page 4) TEN Liberal Progressive Independent P TRE $2 Enbure Po Subser $1.25 colle certs request BUILD IT UP OR TEAR IT DOWN Now that upwards of a million dollars in civic improvements are in course of construction in the neighborhood of Tenth and U streets, northwest, it becomes the duty of business men, civic organizations and interested parties to start a movement to complete the incomplete Masonic Temple at the southwest corner, or to tear it down. In practically every neighborhood in every town where our people live in any numbers, there is to be found either a partly demolished, or abandoned structure. Such conditions in building always suggest the lack of will to achieve by the people who are responsible for them. They indicate not only poverty of goods, but poverty of resources, which is worse. They are an index of character; indicating the lack of that persistence toward a goal which is an index of character in an age of achievement. That so large and ancient an organization as the one which has for so many years fumbled the erection of the eyesore at Tenth and U streets, should have failed in their undertaking, is regrettable. There must be some deep seated reason for its failure. That mere personal rivalry should have blocked the erection, is unthinkable. It has offered too marked a chance for outstanding leadership; some man of genius would have undertaken it as a monument to his dreams and ability. That the organization itself should have allowed it to stand unfinished after so many abortive attempts to build it, seems to indicate some weakness in that body. How could men inspired and instructed in the conception and erection of King Solomon's Temple, lag in the construction of a home for its perpetuation. Is fraternity a mere shibboleth? Does brotherhood imply no solidarity of effort? Is the oath no longer binding? Are the younger members lacking in the spirit of sacrifice? Does the order mean to them only personal advancement? Has the spirit of the craft become mere craftiness? Not only do the citizens of Washington, not only do our children, not only do statesmen charged with the development of this city of greater and greater beauty pass this corner and see this long standing monument of somebody's incompetence in the midst of a group of boasted superiority of culture, but people from all the world carry away from their visits to the capital city of the United States, this sharp contrast with the general trend and progress of the whole people, everywhere. Either build it up or tear it down, now. DESPICABLE PEOPLES INFORMERS Life reveals men and women of varying habits, tendencies and conduct. The late Dean Patton of the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania, has said that men may be classified into "tribute takers, tribute givers, and clingers." For general purposes that is a convenient grouping. Races and nations may be found in larger or smaller groups in the several classes. Families will show the diverging tendencies among their members. As the heart beats boundingly, normally, or faintly, people fall into their respective groups. As some appetites are supplied with nourishing food, others become grasping, giving, or adaptable. Theodore Roosevelt was a remarkable example of a boy to become a member of the "clingers," who changed to become a "tribute taker" through the system of education provided by a wise father. Few men or women have been so fortunate in the selection of their parents. Biographies offer fertile fields for the study of placement. The drama, especially the silver screen with its selected characters and directed acting, portrays the several types. History supplies us with many outstanding illustrations. The very glare which shone upon a throne revealed its occupant as a type. Even slavery of Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 920 U.

R IT fers its proof of the persistence of the divergence in human na- ture. The hatred and contempt shown toward spies and traitors, and the honor, admiration, and acclaim shown for heroes, indicates how children at an early age recognize the differences among men. As we become older and more fixed in our habits of comfort and convenience, we become tolerant of "clingers" and perhaps join the "tribute givers" in order to buy what we have failed to achieve as personal distinction. The minority which includes the "tribute takers" in any age, are compelled to use informers who are the most contemptible of men of the "clinger" type. They range all the way from those who peddle small gossip to make themselves welcome in a group for which they have no card of admission, to the stool pigeon who squeals to the police in payment for his own freedom from punishment. Washington is over-supplied with such informers. The absence of industrial employment seems to breed them, and the ignorance of the essential qualities of personal independence lays the foundation for the tendency. Races, nations, and peoples struggling upwards and against the oppression of the "tribute takers" have been forced to adopt drastic measures to purge themselves of informers. DEAN KELLY MILLER AND PROHIBITION The nationally known Dean Kelly Miller, called by Randolph of the Messenger, "the sage of the race, with 80 per cent of whose philosophy I do not agree," has set for himself the task of proving that prohibition has caused a decrease in lynching. It comes with somewhat of a shock from the dean who was one of the outstanding members of the famous "Black cabinet" of the Taft administration; a coterie of gentleman of color who comprised among their number those who were qualified as experts upon the beneficial effects of the flowing bowl. We should expect the logic of the dean to prove that prohibition had dulled the edge of the wit and wisdom of his associates; and that with the Volstead law put upon the statute books, life for many of them was not worth living. But no, with the aid of the coincidence of similar occurrences, Dean Miller reiterates his inference and refuses to accept any of the replies thus far offered, as answers to his argument. What are the facts? Illiteracy accompanies lynching with an even more marked ratio of coincidence than does so recent a factor as prohibition attend its apparent diminution. The arousal of interest in and knowledge of the mutual attitudes of both races through the conduct of inter-racial meeting is as new an agency as prohibition, and might be another powerful cause contributing to the decline in the barbarous practice of mob murder. The decided exodus of Negroes from the very sections where lynchings were most pronounced during and since the war, has operated to stir interest in the value of the racial element. It has offered abandoned cabins and neglected plantations as concrete evidence of loss to the commonwealth, and it has influenced legislatures to greater liberality in apportioning the public funds among all of the people. Here we have that powerful motive for reducing crime, the economic motive, exactly as we have had the same motive as one of the causes of the crime itself, when the perpetrators thought themselves unfavorably affected by the group from which they chose their victims. Knowing the lynchers as Dean Miller must know them in their historic background and their dominant present economic mores, it seems to us that he would be inclined to select the economic cause from among all the possible and probable causes. If, however, as appears from the arguments made by Senator Bruce of Maryland in the recent debate with Senators Swanson and Glass of Virginia, on the subject of the evasion of the 15th Amendment, Dean Miller is talking and writing THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1928 Needle Points Needle Points On numerous occasions, and from various "interracial committees," we read that lynching is declining. These statements are apparently based on the simple facts that in certain sections there were fewer lynchings in one given period as compared with another. But this comparison of figures means little or nothing. For instance, lynching is the white man's punishment for certain alleged offenses committed by Negroes. If the offenses diminish, the punishment, of necessity, decreases. Therefore, in order to formulate an accurate table as to the increase or decrease of lynching, as a practice, the table should include the cause, as well as the result. Below is a mythical table conforming to the above idea: Lynchable Number Pct. Offenses Lynched 1950 50 40 80 1951 10 10 100 Thus it may be seen that although the actual number of lynchings may be less in a given period than in another equal period, the percentage may be greater; hence, there is no decline in lynching. The lynching record, like a man's batting record, is not a matter of totals, but of percentages, based on times at bat. Two Howard University students were married and were duly and solemnly sentenced to suspension for a year. Another barrier to holy wedlock. Howard University apparently doesn't desire newlyweds. Perhaps the law-makers expect that before the expiration of their sentence, the couple will have been divorced, since seemingly, there is no collegiate ban on divorcees. Dr. Strong of the Harvard Medical School, after extensive travel in Liberia, makes public the statement that "slavery still exists in Liberia." That's news, since we are led to believe that Liberia, like the United States, is a REPUB-LIC. * * * "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Whenever we think of jim-crow cars in the District of Columbia, the above quotation should cause us to keep awake. * * * The "Harlem Life Insurance Company" has been formed in New York, giving us another Negro insurance company. Insurance is the "cream" of Negro business, but why distribute the "cream" to such an extent that none of the undernourished chillin' can get fat? --- "Race Relations Sunday" is the name of a day when a number of well-intending persons assemble and PRAY for better race relations and the stopping of lynching. Prayer, of itself, will hardly turn the trick, but being religious, it may spread rapidly, thereby moulding public sentiment in favor of the abolition of mob rule. Public sentiment, after all, is the thing to be controlled, anti-lynching bills of all descriptions to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Benjamin Brawley refused the second Harmon Award for the Negroes' achievement in education. To most of us his reason for so doing is obvious. However, this column tenders him three hurrahs for the "Negroes' achievements in" straight-thinking and MANHOOD. A white girl and a "mulatto" are in love, and since they are in the state of Connecticut, have been married. Arthur Brisbane, (America's know-all, "white supremacy" propagandist, "yellow fever specialist, airplane defense fanatic and whose column has been called "Brisbanalities" by an I. W. worker) in his "To-day" column says it is "AGAINST" the interest of both. Does the Mr. Brisbane know enough to know that the "interest" of LOVE is HAPPINESS? John Butler was convicted and sentenced to serve ten years for a hold-up to which George Rouhac LATER confessed and freed the former. All this happened in the District courts. The government, so far as the jury was concerned, PROVED its case. The crime charged could have been murder, with the DEATH sentence. Yet, some of us still believe in capital punishment. with the hope that we may gain support for our fight for political rights by taking sides with the advocates of the strict enforcement of the 18th Amendment, we are willing to aid him to keep the issue so prominently before the nation that all political parties shall be obliged to make of it a moral issue and come to grips upon the whole question of the Constitution in its entirety. As we view the matter, Senator Borah is wise to the eventuality, and has hastened to agree with the nullifiers of the Civil war amendments; he gives them a clean bill of health by saying that he has examined the laws of all Southern states and finds no violation of the Constitution among them. Like Pontius Pilate, he washes his hands. Our opinion of the prohibition amendment is that it is similar to the 14th Amendment; both were enacted under the pressure of emotion, by those wise to the necessity for national legislation NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—High death rates and impaired morals were found to be characteristic of the most densely populated Negro districts in both northern and southern cities, according to the findings of a survey made by the Institute of Social and Religious Research. The report of this study, which the institute is now publishing, is summarized by T. J. Woofter, Jr., director of the inquiry, in an article appearing in the Survey for February 15. It was found that the Negro city population, which has increased in this country by more than two millions in the last quarter century, is largely confined to segregated areas where the Negroes themselves have little control over either the excessive crowding or the inferior living conditions. To quote in advance from the Survey article: "Since emancipation, nothing more astounding than the recent shift of Negroes to both Northern and Southern cities has occurred to affect the contact between the races. From 1900 to 1920 Negro city population increased more than a half, while the Negro population of rural areas gained less than 72,000 or about 1 per cent. The white drift to the cities was also striking, especially in the South; but despite this drain the white rural population managed to increase slightly. "The greatest part of this migration occurred from 1910 to 1920. During that decade the Negro population in cities increased 875,000 and the rural population actually decreased 240,000. The 1925 estimates of the Census Bureau indicate a further increase of some 600,000 in the Negro urban population, making $n$ total increase of more than 2,100,000 for the twenty-five year period, a growth of more than 100 per cent. "Contrary to the general impression that the Negro migration has been chiefly northward, a study of the census figures shows that from 1900 to 1920 southern cities gained 886,173 Negroes, while northern and western cities gained 671,292. On a percentage basis, however, the increase in the North was 105 per cent, as against 65 per cent in the South. During the latter half of the twenty-year period the gain in the North was considerably more rapid than between 1900 to 1910. This only serves to emphasize the fact that both in South and North the trend of the Negro population is definitely cityward, and that both the North and the South are concerned with the problems of the city Negro. Such a wholesale displacement of population necessitates fundamental adjustments in the communities from which Negroes move, in the communities to which they come, and in the whole pattern of Negro life. "The plan called for intensive studies in sixteen cities—Philadelphia, New York, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Chicago, Gary, Dayton, Louisville, Lexington, Knoxville, New Orleans, Memphis, Charleston, Winston-Salem, Lynchburg and Richmond. These comprised four of the six cities with a Negro population of more than 100,000 and six of the sixteen with a Negro population of between 25,000 and 100,000. In addition, a few smaller places were taken merely for the sake of contrast and comparison. The study therefore was concerned primarily with the most intense form or urbanization—that of large cities. "It is remarkable that a million of two-thirds of the increase between 1900 and 1920 should have been concentrated in the metropolitan centers of the East and the Middle West. Abnormal concentration in large cities and neglect of the smaller cities is more characteristic of the North than of the to meet the growing demands of business. The civil rights laws remained on the statute books for eight years before they were declared unconstitutional. In the meantime, the development of corporate business, made possible by the Civil War, had become established and freed from possible interference by the several states, under the description of a corporation as a legal person. So, we believe the Volstead law will become a dead letter when the new and greatly widened federal control under the 18th Amendment has been found to foster bigger business than was ever before conceived and organized. Laws do not change human nature and fixed habits of action. South, because each city in the South is immediately surrounded by a rural Negro population which can be drawn in as trade and industry expand. The migration to northern cities, however, comes from long range. "One of the most encouraging signs of advancement revealed by this study is the tendency among the Negroes toward home ownership. The numbers of home owners had increased materially in every city visited except New Orleans, and the increase from 1920 to 1925 in northern cities was especially rapid. In most, cases the slum sections were relatively constant in population, with income and outgo about equal, while the population of the home-owners sections was increasing. THE MEANING OF NEGRO HISTORY WEEK By Prof. Charles M. Thomas No man, race or nation entirely lets go of the past. That the Negro has come to know some of the milestones of his long journey through the ages, is sign of his oneness with all 'human nature. If, however, influenced by the morphia of ancestral achievement, we do nothing more than bask in the warmth of past glory, we shall leave no record worthy of respect and shall soon be covered by the dust of progress. Today is marked by the happening of events. Here and now, things occur demanding our wisest re-action. Yesterday may have produced the causes, but tomorrow will bring the consequences both of yesterday's record and our own imprint at this present minute. There is little for guidance from the past, except what to avoid. The fact that it is dead warrants leaving it to the stone mason, the historian, the sexton and the grave-digger. If Negroes of heroic mold, in days gone by, hewed their cabins out of virgin wood, and gave their masters leisure, culture and prestige in return for food by means of the shovel and the hoe, it is our place to labor so efficiently as to provide and maintain homes with modern conveniences and high standards of living to inspire our children and to relieve our women from the drudgery which dams their institution and furrows their charm from channels of social betterment. If, under the bonds of chattel slavery, some of our ancestors found, bought, served and fought their way to freedom, it is our privilege and duty to catch from it that inspiration which shall vitalize out of us any remnant of the slave's mental squint and unmoral cowardice. If we glow with pride because Negroes have defended American civilization since the early colonial days as militamen in New England, it should but fire our enthusiasm to offer our own lives in defense and in realization of that New Freedom from lawlessness, crime, political chicanery and proscription, so that we may pass to unborn generations the greater fulfillment of equal opportunity, liberty and happiness. If the record shows such a high degree of fidelity among our oppressed forbears that men continue to marvel at the scarcity of uprisings and betrayals, it is our heritage to transfer that trust to the handling and use of the unmeasured accumulations of things and wealth now found in every man's keeping in this material age. Every dust covered nation of antiquity warms us against the folly of trying to live upon the glory of the past. Our ancestors wrought nobly, but what will future historians say of us? The function of history in the relay race against time, is to keep the record for comparison with our own, which began when life tanned us on the hand at birth. Go!!!

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor In ransacking some old papers one day last week, I came across an old poem that my mother often read to me. At that time (about 1897) mother had an old bound volume of "St. Nicholas" of 1881. The children in my neighborhood came to our house often to have my mother read stories from the "big-book" as we called it. At the end of the reading all of us would ask that she read, "The Balad of Babette." Because it brought so much entertainment to my little friends when I was about the age of seven I am publishing the poem here in full, hoping that you, too, may enjoy it as much as did we. The author's name was Thomas Dunn English. THE BALLAD OF BABETTE Babette, the peasant maiden, The guileless, graceful child, To gather nuts and berries, Went to the copsewood wild. And glancing in the fountain, Beneath the shadows brown, She saw her comely features And russet-linsey gown. "Fine birds come from fine feathers." The little maiden said— "Had I crown of rubies To wear upon my head; If this poor gown were silken, And I among the girls Had maidens four to serve me, And a necklace made of pearls; "And I had silver slippers Upon these little feet, A prince would come to woo me, And call me fair and sweet." Then suddenly before her A wounded dove was seen, With drops of blood down falling Upon the leaves of green. It trembled when she touched it, But had no power to fly; And in her face looked upward With scared and piteous eye. She washed the red drops gently, That started from the wound, And the weary bird lay quiet, As though content it found. Then when her hand was opened, It made a plaintive coo, And rising slowly upward, Far in the distance flew. Then on the maiden wandered Till, by a hazel there, Escaped from cruel hunters, She saw a panting hare. Her words of loving kindness It did not seem to hear, Till from her quivering eyelids Dropped on it many a tear. When lo! it rose and trembled, Its eyes grew full of light, And through the briers and hazels It bounded out of sight. And throbbed the maiden's bosom With pleasing, painful start, And happy thrills of gladness Made music in her heart. When lo! on purple pinions, A flock of doves there came; The first one bore a ruby, And each one had the same. And still came flying, flying, The doves on pinions fleet; And rubies there on rubies They laid before her feet. And they made her a crown of rubies, And next of hares, a hundred Came from the North and South, And each in coming carried A great pearl in his mouth. And still came running, running, More hares, with motion fleet, And pearls, in countless number, They laid before her feet. And they made her a lovely neck- lace Of pearls without a speck, They took this lovely necklace And placed it on her neck. Was it the poor dove's life-blood That now in rubies burned? And from Babette's kind weeping Had tears to pearls been turned? And then the doves flew over, And cooed with voices sweet, And a pair of silvern slippers She found upon her feet. And then the hares ran around her, And her skin grew white as milk, And her gown of russet-linsey Was changed 'to one of silk. And lo! there came four maidens, To wait on her, forsooth! Simplicity, and Pity, And Innocence, and Truth. And the dove became a fairy, And touched her with her wand; And the hare became Prince Charming, And he was young and fond. And a train of lords and ladies, The little maiden met; And the Prince, he walked beside her; The downcast-eyed Babette. And never in the copsewood Was the little maiden seen. For she dwells all time in Elf-land. As the good King Charming's queen. ALFRED SATTERTHAWITE TELLS HOW HE ENJOYED Alfred Satterthwaite, 11 years old, of New Haven, Connecticut, tells how much he enjoyed reading a story. He says: "The epic of Kings: Hero Tales of Ancient Persia, retold by Helen Zimmern is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have read a good many. In many ways it reminds me of the Odyssey and of the Old Testament of our own Bible. It might almost be the Persian's bible. It has the idea of good (Ormuzd) and evil. (Atviman) like God and Satan in the Bible. "It has all the color of the East. They have gold, precious jewels and beautiful carpets and richly embroidered silks. Whenever one of the kings went out the trumpets would 'bray' and the sound of harps and cymbals would fill the air. The stories are all of wonderful heroes who do great deeds. I think all boys and girls would like them, especially the stories of Zal and Rudabeth and of Rustem and Sohrab. "But perhaps better than any story in the book is the story of the life of the author, the Persian poet. Firdusi, given in the editor's note in the back of the book. It is very short, but one of the most exciting stories of a man's life I have ever read. Firdusi had been cheated out of money due him for his poems and just as he died the emperor who had cheated him repented and as the poet's funeral procession went out of one gate "Sooner or Later Victory is Su IMMORTAL WORDS of A in one of this nation's da his supreme confidence in the fidence which he lived to WHAT are you doing to w economic independence?

It is made up of full-page woodcuts of animals in action, with a short verse on the page opposite each giving misinformation about the animal in particular. The verses are not so good, although they may get across with some children—you never can tell. but the wooceuts are gorgeous —whimsical, cunningly designed, and beautifully executed.

VIRGINIA SOLON WOULD ABOLISH PRISON FLOG- GINGS RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 9 (PNS) —A bill to abolish flogging in Virginia prisons and camps was introduced Thursday in the house by Representative R. R. Parker, of Wise County, and referred to the committee on asylums and prisons. The bill provides "that, in no case, shall any whipping or flogging be resorted to. Any punishment prescribed hereunder shall not be cruel or inhuman." Accept only "Bayer" package which contains proven directions. Handy "Bayer" boxes of 12 tablets Also bottles of 24 and 100—Druggists. "Asleeple" and "awake" are relative terms. All persons do not sleep with equal soundness. Frequently one will dream most when he is merely dozing. He may then be partly conscious of what is taking place around him. A person wide awake does not dream in the strict sense of the word. In "day-dreaming" the term is used in another sense; namely, a reverie or idle exercise of the fancy. WHERE IS TEAPOT DOME? Teapot Dome is the name of an oil reservation in Wyoming. It received its name from a huge rock shaped somewhat like a teapot. Peapot Dome became notorious in American history about five years ago when Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin introduced a resolution in the senate asking that the leasing of this government oil reserve be investigated. 1 DEFTLY tailored, this coat truck has a ready answer for the deceitful weather of the next few months.

John Butler, now serving two years on a charge of robbery may soon be released. Rouhlac was taken into custody when his younger brother, held awaiting action of the grand jury in connection with the slaying of Thomas W. Gill, January 28, told policemen that his brother George was guilty of the offense for which Butler was serving a term. Rouhlac, it developed, was in the courtroom when Butler was tried. Butler was convicted of the hold-up of Philip Tippin and his wife in their store at 4601 Hunt place, northeast, last April. Rouhlac in his alleged confession admitted this among other robberies. Arraigned in police court, Tuesday, Roulhac waived a preliminary hearing, pleaded not guilty and was held on $20,000 bond. The release of Butler is expected to result from the presentation to President Coolidge of a petition for pardon. TO TEACH IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE On February 1, Miss Ruth E.

TO HOLD PUBLIC WELFARE INSTITUTE RALEIGH, N.C.—Announcement is made for the third annual Public Welfare Institute to be held under the direction of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, Division of Negro work, at the North Carolina College for Negroes, Durham. North Carolina, February 29, to March 2. WHAT IS "JERKED" MEAT? "Jerked" in the phrase "jerked beef or meat" is not the regular past participle from of the verb "jerk." It is a corruption of the Peruvian Indian word "charqui." Jerked meat is meat that has been cut into thin sheets and strips and hung upon a framework of poles to dry in the wind and sun. This was a favorite method of curing buffalo meat among the Indians of the Great Plains. When the meat was fully "jerked" it was folded up and put into rawhide bags and kept for use in the winter.

C., says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation." Thousands of others say the same.

The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, she stated, is fostering a vocational guidance movement and clean entertainment by the presentation of concert artists.

HOWARD ITEMS PASSED BY HOUSE (Continued from page 1) and to maintain standards in keeping with the advance made along medical, surgical, and nursing lines during recent years.

For an addition to, and remodeling of, the nurses' home, including necessary equipment, the sum of $150,000 is appropriated. For remodeling and enlarging the power plant, including necessary equipment, an appropriation of $52,000 is made. Other items for Freedmen's Hospital are $32,000 for remodeling and enlarging room and kitchen, $8,000 for enlarging employees' quarters, and $10,000 for the installation of new elevators.

MORDECAI JOHNSON AND THE NEGRO PRESS (Continued from page 1) cannot escape this responsibility, no matter what subterfuge he uses, and hope to remain in his post. For over a half century Howard University has been supported larger, through public funds and the tax-payers have an unquestioned right to know how affairs at the school are being administered. The press is entitled to any and all legitimate news; neither Dr. Johnson nor any other public servant has the right to deny access to such information. BLAINE ASSAILS COOLIDGE ON IMPERIALISM (Continued from page 1) yielded the floor late that afternoon. He resumed and concluded his remarks last Friday. With respect to Haiti and San Domingo, he said. Imperialism in Haiti "Imperialism: Turn to Haiti, where officers of the army and navy, backed by an American army, govern or allegedly protect the Haitians; where an American financial adviser dictates the finances and permits loans with United States Government quaranties and where the Haitian Government was set up by force of American arms, and the Haitian constitution written by the personnel of the warmaking power of America, and the adoption of that constitution ratified at an election which, if held in America under like circumstances would be declared null and void. "There was no free ballot. The polling places were in charge of American marines. That which is guaranteed to every community in the United States in the holding of free elections was denied to the Haitians. The constitution imposed upon the Haitian people denied them guarantees compatible with a free government and a free people, and its provisions were made satisfactory to American exploiters. King Barricaded "The presence of armed forces carried its tyranny to such excesses as to deny to an honorable and distinguished member of this body (Senator King) the right of freedom of passage through that territory—his way barricaded and before him the rattle of the sabre and the menacing muzzle of the gun. Such are the consequences that flow from tyranny. "Go to San Domingo, if you please, where an army was landed, the President of the Republic dismissed, and its Congress dissolved, and where for years the military power of an alien government administered its affairs by military decrees, enforced by a military government supported by som 2,500 marines. Of course, San Domingo may be given back her sovereignty, her independence. Under what circumstances? Providing she ratify the military misrule and allow America to collect her customs and control the finances of her country. Approves Withdrawal "I was asked by the distinguished Senator from Connecticut (Mr. Bingham) yesterday if I approved of the act of the present administration in withdrawing from San Domingo. I do approve of the withdrawal of the marines, but America is not yet out of San Domingo by any means. "The United States marines were withdrawn. But, sirs, America, is still in San Domingo with a power as great as the power of force, and that is a strangle hold upon the finances of San Domingo. Let any nation have a strangle hold upon the finances of another country and that country is subjugated to the will and, perchance, to the whim of the nation which holds such strangle hold through loans, sometimes, if you please, forced upon weaker peoples." HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE GET LARGE DONATIONS NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 9 (PNS) The Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute of Hampton, Va., received $750,000 and Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of Tuskegee, Ala., $500, 000 in the will of the late Mrs. Anna M. Harkness, the widow of Stephen V. Harkness, which was filed for appraisal in the office of the New York state transfer tax commission here Thursday. Mrs. Harkness died in this city March 27, 1926, at the age of 88. Her estate has a net value of $103, 232,048. There were numerous smaller bequests made to various Negro missions and schools throughout the country. Mr. Harkness was a philanthropist whose large bequests to Negro schools and institutions before his death enabled them to "carry on" through very trying periods. The benevolence of both Mr. and Mrs. Harkness have been of great help to educational and religious advancement of the American Negro. REAL ESTATE and CLASSIFIED 1925 9th Street, N.W.

INDIAN DOCTOR ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERS PRODUCT THAT KILLS GERMS THAT CAUSE DANDRUFF AND FALLING HAIR RECORDS PROVE IT WILL GROW HAIR TWO INCHES LONGER IN TWO MONTHS Free Samples To All Readers of this Paper Through a remarkable new scientific discovery, it is now possible to stop dandruff and falling hair, and to grow your hair two inches longer in two months. This discovery was purely accidental. Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano, (The old Indian Medicine Man) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering from a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured, but her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so, that the doctor questioned her as to what it was that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was, that she had only been using the medicine prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair. And after experimenting for twenty-seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure coconut oil and pine tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. And from that day until the present, the sale of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower has been of Phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he found that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower is superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send in the coupon below.

Talk Town Su Sun. $ ^{4} $ p.m. WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By Rev. Charles P. Harris, D.D. JESUS PICTURES THE KING- DOM OF GOD (Read Mark 4:26-34) GOLDEN TEXT: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." — Matt. 6:10. The Thought of the Lesson In last Sunday's lesson we studied about Jesus at Nazareth, the town of his boyhood. In all the activities of his eventful life there was no place where he received as little attention and did as little work as at Nazareth. His townspeople cared nothing for his teaching and he left them, never to return, going from them to labor wherever he was received. In today's lesson we find him among the multitudes about the farmlands beside the Sea of Galilee. As he looked about himself he could see the farmer sowing seed, and he used his familiar sight to illustrate the silent growth of the Kingdom of God. This illustration is numbered with the great para- SERMON SERIES IN FRED- ERICKSBURG FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—The pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church began a series of sermons on "The Gospel by ohn" Sunday past at 11:30 a. m. The pastor will use texts from this book each Sunday morning of the present month. One hundred copies of "The Gospel by John" were distributed free. Rev. L. O. Banks, pastor of the Oak Grove Baptist Church, Westmoreland Co., Va., will preach the night sermon, Sunday. Beginning Monday evening, February 13, Rev. L. C. Scott, pastor of Enon Baptist Church, Washington, D.C., will conduct the "Leap Year Rally", speaking and making the appeal each evening for the building fund. The rally will continue for five nights. Miss Corline Smith and Mr. Joseph Robinson were quietly married at the home of the groom last Sunday in Mayfield by the Rev. William H. Cary. TO BAPTIZE IN WARRENTON WARRENTON, Va.—There will be baptizing at the First Baptist Church of this city at the eleven o'clock service Sunday morning. The Lord's Supper will follow the baptizing. The pastor, Rev. C. P. Harris, will preach at the evening service, using as his subject, "The Sufficiency of Grace." YOUNG PEOPLE'S FORUM MEETS The Young People's Forum of the Metropolitan Church, held its regular meeting at the Cleveland School, February 1 at 8 o'clock. After the business was transacted, the meeting was turned into a discussion of the book, "Elmer Gantry" by Sinclair Lewis. The discussion was led by W. E. Webb, followed by Miss F. Graves and Miss L. Allen. Those who took part in the discussion were: J. M. Jackson, E. A. Crooms and J. J. Hamm. E. B. Gumbs presided. J. J. Hamm is president and Miss F. Graves is secretary. DR. L. K. WILLIAMS OF CHI CAGO TO SPEAK Dr. L. K. Williams, head of the National Baptist Convention, Int corporated, and pastor of the largest Baptist church among Negroes, will preach at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sunday morning. Dr. Williams is considered one of the greatest pulpit orators in America, LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE The Federated Council of Churches of America suggests that Sunday, February 14, be celebrated as Race-Relations' Day. In many cities white and colored ministers interchange pulpits. Washington is too "righteous" for that yet. At Lincoln Congregational Temple Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "A Religion of Brotherhood." The choir will render special music. The Senior Christian Endeavor Society will meet at 6:45 p.m. The subject to be discussed is, "Ideals for Choosing a Life-Partner." The annual meeting of the church will be held Tuesday evening, February 14. BISHOP JOHNSON TO PREACH AT METROPOLITAN After extensive repairing and renovating, the main auditorium of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, will again be open for services. Besides interior decorating, a new roof has been put on the building. The main auditorium of the church has been closed during the repairing, services being held in the Sunday school room. A special program covering the entire week has been made up by Rev. William H. Thomas, pastor. Bishop John Albert Johnson of this Episcopal District, and a former bles used by Jesus in his teachings. A parable is a story or illustratwith a moral or spiritual application. Jesus did much of his teaching in parables. Being both God and man, he was a peculiar being, and his Kingdom was a peculiar organization which was secessarily revolutionary in its nature. Because of these peculiar and revolutionary aspects of his Kingdom Jesus resorted to the parabolic method of teaching in order that he might not arouse too active opposition which might result in his destruction before he could plant the principle of this Kingdom in the hearts of men. In today's lesson Mark gives us Christ's general outline of the manner of the growth and development of his Kingdom. It was not to be ushered in by horsemen and charliots, pomp and splendor but by a germinating process like that of seed sown in the ground whose growth is mysterious and not dependent upon human power. Beginning in insignificance like a plant it was to grow until it should become greater than all other kingdoms of earth pastor of Metropolitan (1896-1901) will deliver the re-dedication sermon at the 11 o'clock service. Music will be furnished by the senior choir, composed of 45 voices, under the direction of Prof. Levington Smith; Prof. W. G. Braxton, organist. At six p. m., Founders' Day will be observed by Allen Christian Endeavor League. At eight p. m., fraternal and civic societies of the city will feature the service. Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A.M.E. Church, will preside. A sacred cantata "Ruth, the Moabitess," will be rendered by the senior choir. Tuesday night will be Lincoln-Douglass day and will be observed. On Wednesday night an old fashion class meeting will be held. Thursday night, the re-dedication banquet will be celebrated. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton will be in charge of this program. On Friday night a gypsy and peasant pageant will be given under the auspices of the Trustee Volunteer Club. Metropolitan A.M.E. Church is the largest church building owned by Negroes in this city. It was dedicated May 30, 1886, by Bishop Daniel A. Payne, presiding bishop. Several notable people, including Frederick Douglass, were buried from this church. The Bethel Literary Society, at one time the leading literary organization among Negroes in this country, flourished for a number of years at this church. Many noted characters of the A.M.E. Church have occupied the pulpit.

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them; and his face did shine the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." — Matt. 17:1-2. The Transfiguration of Jesus is one of the marvels of history. It took place on a high mountain where Jesus had gone to get away from the crowd and to get into close communion with his Father. He took with him his closest disciples, Peter, James and John, to witness the sight of the Son of God in the heights of his earthly glory. His face shining like the sun, showed forth his nearness to the Father, and his raiment was white as the light. In the midst of this splendor appeared Moses and Elias—Moses representing the Law, Elias representing the Prophecy, and Jesus representing the Gospel. While we do not know the conversation that took place among these three, yet we may with good reason guess that it concerned the plan of salvation. The presence was so attractive and impressive that impulsive Peter cried out, "Lord it is good to be here," and proposed to make a tabernaure for each of the holy three. While he yet spoke a cloud, representing the presence of God, overshadowed the place, and a great voice issued forth from the cloud saying, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him." When the disciples heard the voice and saw the sight they fell on their faces in fear. Jesus came near and lifted them up and bade them be not afraid. The experience was so wonderful that Peter desired to stay upon the mountain. He desired to do Jesus and his Heavenly guests special honors. He did not ask shelter for himself, but for Jesus and The Epworth League will meet at 6:30 p. m. The Men's Club will meet on Tuesday night. On Wednesday night a sacred drama will be given. Friday night Miss Ada Harris will give a concert. REVIVAL SERVICES AT SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH LARGELY ATTENDED Revival services continue at Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church corner Ninth and P streets, northwest. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, the P. Rev. S. L. JOHNSON, evangelist, who is conducting special services at Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church. pastor, baptized last Friday night and will baptize against this Friday night. Sixty inmates of Stoddard Baptist Home were brought to the church in automobiles, last Sunday and given dinner and remained to the Lord's Supper. At the close M St., bet. 15th and 16th Sts., N.W. FIVE he friends from Glory. In this Peter was like all true Christians — always ready to forget self and honor Jesus. Jesus did not grant Peter's request to remain upon the mountain, for he could not do so and at the same time save the suffering multitudes in the valley. When Jesus returned to the multitudes in the valley he was met by one who implored him to cure his son who was suffering from a grievous disease. Hac Jesus remained upon the mountain in the heights of his glory he could not have helped this poor valley sufferer. We may be on the mountain sometimes, but yet all we have our valley experiences. Joseph in the valley in Egypt; Martin Luther was in the valley when he said, "I cannot hinder birds from flying over my head, but I can keep them from building nests in my hair." Valley experiences come in every man's life, and it is often in the valley that we get close to God and he close to us. The Transfiguration prepared Jesus for the valley of the Garden and the Cross. There were glory and brightness on the mountain, but sadness and gloom in Getsemane and on Cavalry. The mountain was his scene of glory, the Garden his place of prayer, and the Cross his place of agony. Likewise there are bright places of mountain-top experiences in our lives wherein we are bright and shining with glory, but just ahead is a valley experience and we must go into the garden to pray for strength to bear the cross that looms just across the way. We must bear the cross if we would wear the crown that fadeth not away. The little brightness that we get here is but the mountain-top experience that enables us to go through the valley—even the valley of death. We may have let-ups in the warfare of life, but these are not victories but temporary armistices that give the soldiers of the Cross time for reinforcements and encouragements from Heaven. The poet well says, "The hardest work will not be done till thou obtain thy crown." Final victory comes through suffering, and to him that endureth to the end. ```markdown ``` of this service, they were taken in automobiles back to the home. Miss Sarah Whetts and her corps of workers in the Christian Endeavor Society led in this movement. Rev. S. L. Johnson, the evangelist, Rev. Over, wife and daughter, of Baltimore, Md., and Rev. and Mrs. Waldron joined the young people in welcoming the aged people. The noon-day prayer meetings, which have been in operation every week day for nearly four years, are doing splendid service in this revival. At 3:30 o'clock on Saturday, February 11, there will be held a meeting for children and young people. There will be special music and a short address to the young folks of the city. On Sunday, February 12, Rev. Johnson will hold a meeting for men only at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, in the main auditorium of the church; Prof. Ward and the male quartet will lead the singing. At the same hour in the lecture room of the church, a special meeting will be held for women and it is expected that Mrs. S. L. Johnson, wife of the evangelist, will address the meeting. There will be appropriate music for the occasion. ```markdown ``` At 6 o'clock on the same day, Rev. Johnson will hold a meeting for the young people of the city.

Emerging from a place of seclusion, barely a game in our athletic lives, the sport of mashie and iron has gradually risen to take its place as one of the most popular of present day pastimes. From late February to early November last year the links at the National Capitol Country Club and those just north of the Lincoln Memorial were swarmed with devotees of the "Ancient Scotch game." They say "the early bird catches the worm." Now when we whirl past the two courses in a closed and heated sedan wrapped in our overcoats—none too comfortably—and see 'guys' out chasing the little, white pellet around and yell at them that Barnum was right they simply holler back something that sounds like the "early bug catches the 'birdie.'" What next, this golf thing—I tell ya is just carrying on. Al Monroe, of the Chicago Whin is elegant in his attack on James Coffroth, Hearst writer, for the style used by the latter in his series of articles on boxers and fights of years ago. Mr. Monroe called attention to the fact that Joe Gans and Jack Johnson, two of the greatest fighters, black or white, to have ever appeared in American rings, were handled in manner most suitable to Coffroth—just a white man. Gans was treated as the type of Negro Nordics like—humble and admittedly inferior. Johnson was painted as a character of the most degrading influence. In neither case was anything said that might tend to give an impression that these two fighters did anything for which their race might be proud. Coffroth pictured Gans as a "good n—" and Johnson as a despicable crook, and Mr. Monroe described Sir James as a typical jealous cracker. Good work, Al. You can't keep good men down. Contestants for berths on the 1928 United States Olympic team hold three Negroes, Charles Majors, De Hart Hubbard and Phil Edwards as the most to be feared rivals. Strange as it may seem that despite the severe drubbing administered little Pinky Clarke at the hands of his guard, Willie Hope, last Thursday night, the diminutive Morgan forward was easily the star of the Morgan College-Washington Elk game. Though he spent much of his time getting up off the floor to which he had been thrown or knocked, Clarke gave a "long to be remembered" account of himself." That should be a bang-up game when the Yellowjackets hook up with the Bordentown quint at the Y.M.C.A. next Friday night. No one can easily forget the engagement last year when in the last 4 minutes Community overcame a 7-point lead to take the invaders by a 41-39 count. Lookin' Thru Our Files Five Years Ago "Stump" Lewis' gladiators strengthened by the presence of Bennie Hill and Everett Davis ran roughshod over the Delta Five last Wednesday, (February 7, 1923). The city championship to be played next week between the two high schools seem to favor Armstrong. Out of 11 contests, this year the Armstrong boys have copped 8 times, whereas Dunbar has won only once against 10 defeats. Following closely upon the report that Siki has been refused permission to land in England comes the announcement that the Senegalese has been matched to meet Michael McTigue, an Irishman, in Dublin Ireland, on Saint Patrick's Day. All Washington basketball lovers know Fannie Minor, Blanche Winston and Ruby Duffy of the Local Y. W. team, well there are quite a number of others you shall like to know just as well. With grim determination in their minds to retrieve for their SOUP TURNER ADDED TO COMMUNITY RANKS Harry "Soup" Turner, doubtless one of the greatest floor players ever developed in local basketball circles has become a member of the Community Athletic Association, according to official announcements coming from that club Sunday. Turner closed his career with the Monumental Elks, Monday. Rumors going the rounds last week were to the effect that Turner had already signed to play with the Yellowjackets basketball team, but this was denied by Community officials, since Turner was not a member of the club. The rules of the Community Athletic Association require that all men, candidates for the basketball team, must hold membership in the club. This membership requires an initiation fee and monthly dues. No player is paid for his services, and the services of no players are solicited. The first indication that Turner had any desire to join the Community ranks came early in January when he told the manager and coach of the Yellowjackets that he was tiring of playing away from home. He stated then that if he thought Community would have him he should like to sign with them. Last Sunday, Turner and Community officials met and discussed conditions. The star agreed to join the association and finish the season with them on an amateur basis. It was agreed that he should play in Philadelphia with his former team Monday, that the Monumental quint could be given due notice of his departure. BORDENTOWN BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT ATTRACTS STRONG ENTRY BORDENTOWN, N. J., Feb. 8. With all entries in and the leading amateur fives of the state entered, the first amateur basketball tournament of the Bordentown School is an assured success. Competition promises to be extremely close with such well-known fives as Titan A. C. of Orange, Student Council of Newark, Rinky Dinks of Atlantic City, and Tuxedo A. C. of East Orange, entering teams in the senior class. In the 135-pound class Student Council Juniors and Atlantic City Reserves are the outstanding fives. Other teams entered include, in the senior class, My Own A. C. of Burlington, Community Y of Trenton, and Forty Club of Atlantic City. Play will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 18, when Titan will meet Forty Club, Trenton Community Y will meet My Own of Burlington, and Rinky Dinks will engage with Tuxedo. loss in the first of their two games, the Wilmington High School basketball players, threaten to spring a surprise when they meet the Armstrong team in the Armstrong gym Thursday. An excellent orchestra has been secured to add to the festivities after the game. Four Years Ago The Morehouse quint having scaled everything in the South is out for the collegiate championship. The Carlisle team will have to go the limit to take their number at the Colonnade, Monday night. Morgan College gave Howard a setback by the tune of 38-34. Boozey Jones paved the way for the "Y" team to defeat Storer College on the later's court last Saturday night by sinking a basket in the extra period giving the locals the game, 15-13. Marc Wheatland, Ed Davis and Hill form a scoring combination that few visiting teams can equal. They may prove the downfall of the Alcoes. Earl Johnson, national 5-mile champion; De Hart Hubbard, broad jump and hop, step and jump champion, and Charley West, intercollegiate pentathlon title holder are the race track and field athletes, who received places on the All-American track team picked by Fred Rubens, secretary-treasurer of the American Athletic Union. Three Years Ago Wilberforce minus Wu Fan Ward is finding the going rather tough, Ward is now campaigning with the Loendi Club. Ted Thompson, a local product, is a regular on the 'Force team. The Senegals defeated the Elite Panthers in Sunday's preliminaries 29 to 14.

Upsala College, through its football coach, is the cause of our keeping in a Negro school and being able to claim as our own, Pinky Clarke, Clarke, one of the greatest all-round athletes in the history of colored collegiate athletic circles. The January issue of 1927 of the Bulletin of Upsala College was suppressed and confiscated by Dean Frans Ericsson, faculty publicity manager. This action was taken last December because the alumni members writing in it saw fit to expose the underhand tactics of the football coaching system. It developed, during an investigation into the charges that the East Orange institution was employing a director of athletics who was merely a "man-in-charge." He, it was learned, was not in control of the situation. He made no effort to assert his power as athletic director. He did not assume the responsibility of saying "who should do what" on his teams. Instead he was willing to do whatever he could to please certain of his charges. Pinky Clarke, whom we all know as an outstanding star on the champion Morgan College basketball team, was a candidate, during the early fall of 1926, for the Upsala football eleven. After having literally "played rings around" his rivals for the quarterback position. Clarke became a victim of the wishes of jealous competitors. Those white boys, realizing that unless Clarke was removed from their midst they would have to admit the "darky's" superiority, approached the "man-in-charge" and told him how uncomfortable they were in facing the danger of playing as substitutes to the Negro. The "man-in-charge"—I refer to him thus because I can find no better name for one, supposed to be a coach, who does not maintain complete jurisdiction over his student players—told the auburn thatched colored boy in a mild-mannered, soft-soaping way that Clarke's absence from the campus would be more appreciated than his presence. Pinky left Upsala and returned to Morgan College where we are not denied the privilege of seeing a lad of his all-round ability as a football, baseball and basketball player perform. Had he been playing with the white school team it would be improbable that people of his race would be able to witness him in action at least as often as we do now. Robbed of such an opportunity we, of course, could not appreciate him as we do. Upsala, a white school, barred a great Negro athlete and in doing so favored rather than harmed our own athletic world. Interest High as Carlisle- Community Game Nears When I. Newton Miller tosses the ball up in center next Tuesday night to begin Community-Carlie hostilities, a long awaited and equally long delayed battle between these two rival basketball teams will swing into play. So intense is the rivalry between the contending forces and so wide is the interest in the battle that when the opening whistle sounds, Tuesday, the game it starts should wage into one of the fastest and most hotly contested affairs in the history of local basketball. To date the Yellowjackets have shown little of their 1927 class. Weakened this year, by the departure of Slim Thomas and Neagie Ellis from their ranks, the Community team got under way to a poor start. The addition last Sunday of Soup Turner, however, has greatly strengthened the Orange and Black cause. Conway's Checks, on the other hand, have gained no little prestige with their decisive wins in the Eastern Basketball League. While it has not been learned yet whether or not the Carlisle boss plans on using Slim Henderson and Ed Davis, his two luminaries, now students at Virginia Seminary, it is believed that Conway expects to offer them as a surprise. Asked to make a statement for the press the manager of the Black and White team said, "I am not so sure of my boys in the face of their long period of inactivity, but the Carlisles can be expected to give a good account of themselves." Community officials preferring to remain silent only said, "The Yellowjackets will be in there trying when the final whistle shrieks. VA. SEMINARY TRIMS HAMPTON AGAIN --- The Hampton Institute basketeers went down in defeat before the Seminary cagers Saturday night in the Hampton Institute gymnasium in one of the fastest and cleanest court played battles of the season, to the count of 20-16. The Seminary lads seemed ever master of the situation, except for the occasional outbursts of speed shown by the Seasiders. The Virginia Seminary basketeers were well balanced, for their floor work was by far the best that any aggregation has brought to the Tidewater this season. The all-around play of Captain Eddie Davis featured the evening. His teammates constantly rallied to his teammates constantly rallied to him and at times his colleagues seemed to outshine him. The highly touted Slim Henderson was not in form and the spectators seemed a bit surprised when he fallet to live up to his established reputation. Coach Hurt seemed very well pleased with his team's showing for C. I. A. A. championship honors. HOMESICK BASKETBALL HARRY (SOUP) TURNER, stellar court performer now a member of the Community A.

The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE will make a formal presentation to the Tribune Baseball League champions at the Carlisle-Community game Tuesday. TRIBUNE BASEBALL TROPHY TO BE AWARDED The formal presentation of the Washington Tribune trophy will be made to the Colesville Baseball Team at the Lincoln Colonnade, Tuesday night. The prize will be awarded between the first and second halves of the Carlisle-Community basketball game. A gold plated baseball statue 11 inches in height engraved on a nickle-finished shield will be given William A. Braxton, manager of the Colesville team as a symbol of title holders of both classes in the twenty-four team circuit last summer, of the Tribune Baseball League. The presentation will be made by William O. Walker, editor of the Tribune. The trophy is now on display in the window of the Tribune Office, 920 U street, northwest. HIGH SCHOOL QUINTS READY FOR TITULAR TILT THURSDAY HIGH SCHOOL QUINTS READY FOR TITULAR TILT THURSDAY Probable Line-up ARMSTRONG DUNBAR White .....L.F.... Jackson Lancaster ..R.F.... Syphax Graham Center .....Tate Dabney .....L.G.... Amos Thorne .....R.G.... Short The opening game of the 1928 District Scholastic Championship will be staged next Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The clash will take place in the Armstrong High School gym. Teams Good With two of the strongest teams to have represented the schools for the past several years, the contest Thursday should prove a "humdinger." The Poets boast of the best record of recent basketball years while the Techites have also won the better portion of their matches. Coaches Unworried Coaches Miller and Perkins are optimistic in regard to the fast approaching series, and with the interest at both schools at its height it is expected that the faculty men will do their utmost to annex the tap-off clash. Although the Orange and Blue mentor has the advantage in having had his squad strengthened than weakened by the annual semester ratings, the fact that he has capable substitutes has served to console the Dunbar tutor. Teams Balanced in Attack The most part of the battle will fall on the shoulders of the forwards. Both quints have two good shooters and floor men in their forward linemen. Mickey Syphax and Newt Jackson stand out as the Poets to be watched while Armstrong's threats are Runt White and Lonny Graham. The third offensive man on each team Tate of Dunbar and Lancaster of Tech are good floormen but do not possess the deadly eyes of their running mates. In Thorne and Dabney the Tech squad holds the advantage in guarding. Short and Amos, though good, do not measure up to their O street rivals. HAMPTON STAGES FIRST INDOOR TENNIS MATCH By George W. Clark HAMPTON INSTITUE, Va. Feb. 5.—Under the direction of Charles H. Williams of Hamptor Institute, the first indoor tennis games were held in the Hampton Institute gymnasium on Friday evening. February 3. The opening match between Davis and Dr. McGriff was full of snap and vigor with veteran Dr. McGriff playing in old-time form. The fast indoor court seemed against both players and after a nip and tuck affray the youthful Davis broke through to win from McGriff, 8-6. The second match was not so exciting for Hudlin was master from the very start, and easily won, 6-4. The third match of doubles was rather fascinating for the fast court and novelty kept both teams away from their best. After a duel of eighteen games Dr. McGriff and Dr. Downing broke through their opponents' service to walk away with the victory of 11-9. CHANGES IN 1928 FOOT- BALL RULES "That a backward or lateral pass must be tossed at least two yards to be classed as such and that it may be recovered by the defensive side if grounded but not advanced, thus doing away with the protection afforded under the rules last year to hidden ball and other trick passes behind the scrimmage line." "That either a muff or fumble of a punt may be recovered by the kicking side, but not advanced beyond the point of recovery." "That no player on the side making a forward pass and who has crossed the line of scrimmage may interfere with an opponent until the ball has been touched, thereby doing away with what the committee believes has been unfair blocking and checking to screen the pass receiver by players who themselves are not eligible to receive the pass." Discussion next week. ST. SEE AHEAD IN GAME WITH TUXEDO TIGERS ORANGE, N. J., Feb. 3.—Charlie Bradford's league leading St. Christopher machine took the measure of the local Tuxedo Tigers in an Eastern League contest here tonight. The score was 43-28. Captain Jimmy Peacock of the Tigers strutted with all the pomp and grace his name implies, and with little or no opposition led the scorers.

WILEY COLLEGE ENTERTAINS 1927 CHAMPS WILEY COLLEGE, Feb. 9.—The social function given at Wiley College, Friday evening, January 27, honoring the Wildcats as 1927 football champions of the Southern Athletic Conference was a unique affair which did credit in the scope of its plan and style of execution to the worthy traditions both of Wiley and the Wildcats. The affair consisted of two parts—a program and banquet. The former was held in Daniel Adams Brainard Memorial Chapel, University avenue, South College Campus, Professor Wilson, presiding. Dean O. A. Fuller presented the championship shield, "The problem that most concerns a coach," was subject of the speeches by F. T. Long, chief mentor of the Wildcats. Sixteen men were awarded honors—Redd, Reed, Livingstone, Calhoun, Briggs, Kinmon, Young, Lorden, Miller, Evans, Scott, Reynolds, Cavil, Failine, Tarver. The mintet sang two numbers as an effective concluding feature. COMMUNITY A. A. MEMBERS NOTICE The regular meeting of the Community Athletic Association will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence of Chas. H. Hughes, 1934 Fifteenth street, northwest. All members are urged to be present. A new fad, Roller Skating has been introduced into the college life of students on the "hill." He—Very well, then. But I'll tell you one thing—money doesn't make a happy marriage. She—No, but it makes up for an unhappy one. —The Pathfinder MORGAN COLLEGE FROSH IMPRESSIVE IN WINS The Morgan College freshman basketball team outplayed the local Dunbar high quint, 28-12 in the afternoon at Dunbar last Thursday, then duplicated its win by outscoring the fast Federal Clothing Store Five in a 27-17 engagement at the Colonnade that same night. In the afternoon clash the Baltimore lads exhibited an exceptional defense and took the measure of the Poets through a steady offensive game. The score at the half was 11 all. With their guards leading a speedy attack, the Bear Cubs went ahead in the second half of the nightcap and stayed. ORIENTALS GET TOGETHER The Oriental Tigers 1927 baseball champions of Washington, will hold a meeting Sunday, February 12, at 2 o'clock, at the residence of Samuel Henson, president, 1413 South Capitol street, southwest. Manager McAdams, and the players in general, have high hopes of another successful season. They also expect a few new faces in their line-up. All members are requested to attend. NEW TEAM TO FORM The Long Life Society is desirous of forming a baseball team. All men in and around the District with wish to become affiliated with a team are requested to call at 1340 T street, northwest, any day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. See the presentation to winners of the Tribune Baseball League at the Colonnade Tuesday night. The trophy will be presented by the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE BALTO, ATHENIANS GUESTS OF LOCAL ELK BIG FIVE TONIGHT BALTO, ATHENIANS GUESTS OF LOCAL ELK BIG FIVE TONIGHT Henry Hill's Washington Elks Basketball team will play hosts to the strong Baltimore Athenians at the Colonnade, tonight. Defeated 34-21 in Baltimore last Friday night, the local clan is not only anxious, but determined to redeem itself. The Columbia quint has broken even in its contests with Baltimore teams in Washington so far this season and the game tonight promises to be a good one. In previous clashes with teams from the Monumental town, the Capital City squad trounced the Baltimore Elks, 37-32, but lost to Morgan College, 34-28. Ike Writh's Athenians are not the same Greeks which have held the devotion of Oriole court fans in former years. Instead of Googles Poles, Scrappy Brown, Herb Keller, and the rest of the gang, the Athenian combination consists of young blood. Having completed what might be called courses of training with the several junior quints and the Douglass High School team, the players now making up the Athenian team have been finished off with steady training from two of the old Greek machine. Built around Moe Veney and Joe Jackson, the Baltimore team boasts of a stellar combination of capable youngsters. Chink Wyatt, John Lewis, Lanky Hackett and Bill Bishop are some of the most outstanding. ADVERTISEMENT The Barry Farm Citizens Asso. Care of Mr. Elzie Hoffman, President, 3001 Stanton Rd., S.E. Gentlemen: The undersigned comprise a committee appointed by the Medi- co-Chirurgical Society to reply to your communication of November 6, wherein you state your desire to bring to the attention of the medical fraternity the allegation that white physicians in southeast Washington charge $2.00 per visit while colored charge $3.00. Other statements by a member of your association, appearing in the public press, on which account we shall publish this letter, allege cheapness of service in other than ordinary visits. Co-operative activity of men is man's effort to better his condition and his surroundings. The Barry Farm Citizens Association exists for no other purpose. By association men endeavor to set standardr which are intended to be helpful for all and harmful to none. There are some fourteen hundred physicians in the District of Columbia. The great majority of them are white. They comprise the Medical Society of the District of Columbia. The color line operates to exclude from its membership colored physicians precisely as colored citizens are excluded from membership in the usual citizens' association. In the daily press of October 29, 1924, appears the statement of this white society to the effect that the minimum charge for a physician's visit shall be $3.00 per patient. The Medico-Chirurgical Society comprises practically all the capable colored physicians in the city. It, like the Barry Farm Citizens Association, was created to advance the interests of colored persons denied a voice in existing OMEGA PSI PHI ENTERTAINED In keeping with the recently adopted policy, to hold a certain number of meetings at the frat house and the remainder at the houses of the various members, the Alpha Omega Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity held its February meeting at the residence of Attorney Walter H. Mazyck, 3031-Eleventh street, northwest. When the business session ended, among the added features were inspirational talks by S. W. Rutherford, and Fred Peyton, formerly of the School of Engineering, University of Michigan, and at present manager for the Whitman Sisters. The outstanding attraction was an interesting and instructive talk by Professor Clyde Glass who after one and a half years' leave of absence from the District of Columbia school system for study in Europe has resumed his duties as instructor in the department of music. A stag banquet with "trimmins" that stretched into the wee small hours concluded the program. Among those present were Drs. A. S. Russell, U. L. Houston, C. Herb Marshall, S. J. Lewis, L. H. Newman, Captain A. C. Newman, D. B. Taylor, W. T. Bradshaw, C. O. Lewis, Fred Peyton, and C. W. Adams. Mesdames, Mazyck, Mayo and Harris supervised the serving. Those who insist that the prohibition question is an issue in the coming presidential campaign will have to decide which party they will run as dry and which as wet—and not let them squirm out of it. —The Pathfinder associations. Whether we like to admit it or not, we live in a civilization controlled by white men. They it is who set the standards, whether of width of streets, character of buildings, kind of drinking water, doctors' fees and what not. We of the Medico-Chirurgical Society, or the Barry Farm Citizens' Association, in order to survive in their civilization must conform to their standards in so far as they operate to injure no man. The Medico-Chirurgical Society could ill afford to cheapen the colored doctor by affirming his services to be worth less than the white doctors' standard. White doctors charging less than $3.00 per visit, whether to white or colored patients, are incompetent, or ineligible, or hypocritical to the standards set by white men. Standard articles, radios, automobiles, shoes, or doctors' services cost standard sums. If persons desire incompetent, ineligible, or hypocritical doctors, they do not need to secure them white; there are colored doctors of that calibre. Cheap things and cheap doctors can always be had by persons satisfied with cheapness. Cheapness always means less service, less attention, less care and less certainty of the future of patient or thing, for usually one never gets the best unless he pays for the heat. It can be set down as a truth not to be refused that high grade white doctors usually neither enter the homes of Negroes, nor permit them to enter their offices. When ever they serve Negroes it is an irregular incident, at irregular hours or places, or through their assistants. Needless to say the charge is not then $3.00, but it is from three to twenty times as much as a high-grade colored doctor would charge. The type of white doctor who serves Negroes for $2.00 is the type who without them would starve. Parasites upon the pocket books of Negroes, as soon as Negroes give them money independence, never again are they admitted into these doctors' offices. The money power given them by Negroes is used "to keep Negroes in their place." But this whole matter of charges is economic. When coal sold for six dollars per ton and was stored for 25 cents, when automobile mechanics received 25 cents per hour, when plumbers, carpenters, and brickmasons received for a half day's work what they now receive for an hour's work, when domestics received from $8.00 to $12.00, laborers from $20.00 to $35.00, and school teachers a minimum of $60.00 per month, then doctors received a minimum of $1.00 per visit. Even then white doctors of a type visited colored patients for 50 cents per visit. Should the economic situation return to the low pay level which then prevailed, that pay level will obtain as respects doctors. But so long as their education, their coal shoes, automobiles and repairs, and their every professional and human need must be paid for on the present economic scale, so long must a competent doctor, white or colored, receive for a call at least as much as a plumber. If it were not so, all doctors had better be plumbers. Nothing here written is to be construed as implying that persons unable to pay shall receive no medical service. Nicety of arrangement operates whereby they may always receive high-grade service without cost. Members of the Medical Society and also of the Medico-Chirurgical Society render this service daily without pay in every public hospital in the District of Columbia. The $2.00 white doctors, busy collecting the $2.00 from thoughtless Negroes, render none because they are without the qualifications enabling them to be members of hospital staffs. We have the honor to be. Yours very truly, The Medico-Chirurgical Society of The District of Columbia, Committee: Wm. H. Wilson, Chairman Nelson M. Thomas Charles A.

BOY HONORED DURING SCOUT ANNIVERSARY WEEK (Continued from page 1) the feat, and then disappeared. It was only through the efforts of the Red Cross Society that the act of the boy was brought before the public and his identity made known. Haitman was also very highly commended by General George Barnett, chairman of the Red Cross District Chapter. Haitman is 16 years old and lives at 234 Thirteenth street, southeast. He is a student at St. Cyprian's Catholic Parochial School. Among other features of the anniversary program was the special service at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church Sunday. Robert Best, a member of Troop 507 was awarded the Eagle Scout Merit Badge. This is the highest rank in the Boy Scout organization and Best is the first colored boy in the District to be so honored. A swimming plaque was awarded Sea Scout Troop 500, H. K. Howerton, skipper, by J. W. Talley, assistant executive. Troops 500 and 507 are connected with the local Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.M.C.A. SECOND DEGREE MURDER INDICTMENT FOR REED SECOND DEGREE MURDER INDICTMENT FOR REED James A.

Mitchell lost his life during a shooting scrape at 1031 Thirteenth street, southeast, when Reed allegedly took offense at being ordered from the home of the former and began firing. Reed and a woman, Mrs. Mary Harper, were also wounded when James Mitchell, brother of the dead youth, knocked the revolver from the hands of Reed, and recovering it, opened fire on the slayer of Richard. Mrs. Harper was accidentally shot. DEFENDANT WINS SUIT PLAINTIFF PAYS DEFENDANT WINS SUIT PLAINTIFF PAYS The suit brought by one of the Diamond Cab owners against J. W.

Mrs. Smallwood alleges that her husband has refused to contribute anything toward her support since January 6, last, and she has been compelled to live on the charity of relatives and friends. Her husband left her in January, 1926. Mrs. Smallwood states in her bill of complaint, and remained away until October. During the time he was away from her, he contributed nothing toward her support, she charges, and she was forced to secure employment. They resumed marital relations in October, she says. Shortly afterwards she became ill and unable to work, she declares, and has been under the care of a physician ever since. While she was employed, she claims, she turned her earnings over to her husband and he deposited them in his bank account. He has refused to account to her for the money she gave him, she says. Mr. Smallwood is employed as a receiving clerk at the fashionable Mayflower Hotel and receives $75 a month and board, his wife states. Mrs. Smallwood asks the court to award her temporary and permanent alimony. She is represented by Attorney Simon Hirshman. BIRTHDAY OF JOSEPH C.

BRAMLETTE THEATRICAL "THE CITY GONE WILD" AN UNDERWORLD PICTURE AT THE REPUBLIC For two days only, Sunday and Monday, February 12 and 13, the Republic Theatre will present "The City Gone Wild," a thrilling successor to the picture "Underworld." You caw and marvelled at "Underworld," now see "The City Gone Wild," a story of gang warfare in a big city. Thomas Meighan, Louise Brooks and Fred Kohler have the leading roles. "The City Gone Wild" is a melodrama of the underworld, giving Meighan one of the most powerful characterizations he has ever had. He is a criminal lawyer, who, for the love of a girl, and because of the murder of his friend, the district attorney, turns on the gangsters he once defended and becomes prosecuting attorney himself. He proceeds to clean up the city, by finding the power behind the crime wave—the men higher up. Gang warfare, machine-guns and daring robberies make "The City Gone Wild," one of the most thrilling pictures of the season. Esther Ralston in the Paramount picture "Love and Learn" will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 14 and 15. Miss Ralston portrays the role of a daughter returning from boarding school, only to find her parents are about to separate. She decides to get into trouble thereby deferring such action by her parents in their desire to help her out. She succeeds, but only after creating situations she could not have possibly expected, prevents the divorce and gets a husband for herself. A story of Vienna "Night Life," with a star cast including Alice Day, Johnny Harron, Eddie Gibbon and Snitz Edwards will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, February 16 and 17.

GLORIA SWANSON IN "SADIE THOMPSON" AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE NEXT WEEK For four days, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the screen attraction at the Lincoln Theatre will be Gloria Swanson in "Sadie Thompson." "Sadie Thompson," director by Raoul Walsh, director of "What Price Glory," W. Somerset Maugham's classic story "Miss Hamilton" is the original source on which the film "Sadie Thompson" is based. Lionel Barrymore appears in the film as Oliver Hamilton, a self-appointed and officious reformer. Dr. and Mrs. McPhail are played respectively by Charles Lane and Florence Midgley. James Marcus, Will Stanton and Sophia Artega are also in the cast. "Sadie Thompson" is the narrative of an intolerant individual's insistent projection of his dominant personality into the pitifully weak and feminine existence of an outcast girl who is trying to live and let live. Maugham's classic is a drama of tolerance—a colorful, romantic, throbbing story of human souls in conflict. Greatest of all of Maugham's literary creations is "Sadie Thompson," the gaudily dressed lady who flaunts a parasold and tilts a high hat feather at a Marine as readily as she flares into stinging resentment at self-appointed intruders into the lives of others. Gloria Swanson has said that she likes "Sadie Thompson" better than any other one of her screen characterizations. Humor, wistful and sardonic; anger, sudden and bitter; soul struggles, exhausting and killing; love, sacred and profane; these are the essence of Gloria Swanson's film. or Lincoln U S TUES. & WED., Fe 4 DAYS ONLY LOR arrack had the hit I'll say VANS E THO Lincoln Theatre e in the tropic South Seas! picture of pictures! Gloria ment of emotion, in the finest die's" the lady you'll never its Picture advance in Prices U Street at 12th Thursday and Friday, February 16 and 17 will be seen "A Man's Past." A question that has stirred up the medical profession for centuries is brought up in this picture which stars Conrad Veidt. It shows the doctor as a man attempting to help humanity, struggling as a human and making human mistakes. The question of whether a doctor has a right to p.t. an incurable sufferer out of his misery is raised in this picture, for in the early part of the story Conrad Veidt, the star, does this and is instantly condemned. This motion picture is taken from the famous European play "Diploma" by Emerich Foeldes. The supporting cast includes Barbara Bedford, Ian Keith, Arthur Edmund Carew and Charles Puffy. On Saturday, will be seen the "Law and the Man." The plot centers about the political situation in a community which is ruled by one Dan Creedon, who is in love with Margaret Grayson, a woman attorney, though she in turn has only a warm friendship for Dan, and has announced her engagement to Erest Vanem, a young architect, member of an aristocratic but poverty stricken family and with personality which is rather warped in many respects. Both Vane and Dan are guilty, but before Dan is put into jail Margaret succeeds in getting a truthful account of the whole procedure and Dan is free to marry Margaret. Tom Sanischi handles the role of Creedon with exceptional ability. Gladys Brockwell, the star of "7th Heaven" plays Margaret with distinction. Robert Ellis, Florence Turner and Tom Rickettis also do splendid work. On Saturday only the first episode of "The Vanishing Rider" featuring William Desmond will be shown. At 9 p.m. the opportunity contest will be held at which time three cash prizes will be given the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience. IRVIN MILLER'S BROWNS SKI MODELS AT THE HOWARD THEATRE NEXT YEAR For the week beginning Monday matinee, February 13, will be seen on the stage Irvin C.

It is an up-to-the-minute comedy, played against the unique, colorful background of the "Arabian Nights" with the scenes being laid in an oriental city over a thousand years ago.

Marita Bonn On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen "The Wise Wife," featuring Phyllis Haver, Tom Moore and Jacqueline Logan. A desperate wife in the disguise of a flapper is many times more dangerous as a social factor than an ultra modern advocate of short skirts and rolled stockings. As the neglected wife, Phyllis changes her tactics drastically. Shortening her skirts and bobbing her hair, she goes the flapper two better every time. In this way she shows her husband, played by Tom Moore, just what a fool he is and their marital life becomes once more harmonious. Jacqueline Logan portrays the part of the flapper. 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. NEGRO ARTISTS ENTERTAIN GREAT FRENCH MUSICIAN NEW YORK CITY—A galaxy of Negro artists, including such stars as Hall Johnson, Elida Webb, Richard Huey, and Abby Mitchell, were the bright spots of an all-star program in New York City, Wednesday, January 25. The occasion was a supper-recital arranged in the honor of Maurice Ravel, great French musician and composer, by Mme. Corbina Wright, well-known hostess of New York's musical and social circles. Ravel had expressed a keen interest in Negro music, and his hostess had the good fortune of being able to command the representative Negro artists, that New York so MATINEE DAILY, 15c to All (Except Sundays and Holidays) EVENINGS After 5: Children Under 12-15c Adults-25c CARL LAEMMLE presents CONRAD VEIDT A George Mel- ford Production From the play by Emerich Foeldes.

Ravel had just been heartily acclaimed by a brilliant gathering at the Gallo Theater, where he had played his own compositions. He was therefore, in the best mood to enjoy the Negro music that his hostess furnished for his little surprise party, which many of New York's artistic elite attended. Hall Johnson, with his 17 jubilee singers, thrilled the audience by the soulful rendition of "Water Baby" and "Deep River." These numbers drew the personal compliments of such celebrities as Feoder Chalaipin, Walter Damrosch, and Ravel, himself, who were so enthused that they moved forward to congratulate Mr. Johnson during the program. Mr. Johnson was particularly pleased to meet Walter Damrosch, as it was his brother Frank Damrosch, who had given him his early musical training. The next feature of this classic program was provided by three dancers from "Show Boat," headed by Elida Webb. Miss Webb is noted for introducing the Charleston to New York, and training dancers for such revues as "Running Wild" and "Plantation." The singing of Negro spirituals was the contribution of Richard Huey, star of the famous stage production, "Porgy." Finally, Abbie Mitchell, well-known to Washington theater-goers, completely triumphed with her selection. Miss Mitchell has been studying under De Reszke Sliglai, famous European tutor, and has now seemed to have reached the zenith of her career. KRIGWA PLAYERS TO ENTER TAIN PUBLIC The Kriga Players, an aggregation of colored players, who gave such an excellent performance last year at the Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools under the head of the Community Center, and who received favorable comments from the press and well thinkers and critics of dramatic art, will make their first appearance of the season at the Cleveland School Community Center, Eighth and T streets northwest, on February 11 at 8:30 o'clock.
