APPROPRIATION
CARRIES LA
FOR COLO
The District appropriation bill,
carrying a total of over three-
quarters of a million dollars for
buildings and grounds for the colo-
red schools of the District of Col-
umbia, is under consideration in
the House.
The bill was reported from the appropriations committee by Representative Robert G. Simmons, Republican, of Nebraska, last Friday. The House immediately began its consideration.
The bill as reported carries the following items for buildings and grounds for the colored scholars:
**Addition for Frances**
For the construction of a 10-room addition, including gymnasium and lunch room at the Francis Junior High School, and the necessary remodeling of the present building, $250,000.
Morgan and Wilson to be Changed
For construction of an 8-room addition to the Morgan School including a combination gymnasium and assembly hall, and the necessary remodeling of the present building, $157,000.
The Morgan School on V street, between Champlain and Eighteenth streets northwest, is to be transferred from the white to the colored divisions. The Wilson School on Seventeenth street between Euclid and Kalorama road, northwest, is to be transferred from the colored to the white divisions. The pupils of the two schools are to be transferred accordingly.
$180,000 for Burrwill
For construction of an 8-room addition to the Burrill School, including a combination gymnasium and assembly hall and the necessary remodeling of the present building, $180,000.
For construction of an 8-room extensible building, including a ambination gymnasium and assembly hall, to commence the replacement of the old Bell School and the Cardozo School, $175,000. The total amount carried in the bill for buildings and grounds for school purposes is $2,367,000. The items for the colored schools total $762,000.
To Purchase Land for Health School
Provision is also made in the bill for the purchase of land for a new health school for colored pupils. The site for this project is to be selected by the Board of Education and the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Provision is also made for the purchase (Continued on page 2)
POLICEMAN HELD NOT GUILTY IN MAN'S DEATH
Detective Oscar W. Mansfield (white) attached to the tent precinct was exhonored Monday at an inquest into the death Sunday of Arthur Fleming, 28 of 1341 V street, northwest. Fleming died at Garfield Hospital one week after being shot by the detective.
According to the policeman's testimony at the inquest, he went to the apartment house at 1422 Harvard street shortly after midnight of Sunday, February 12. Arriving there, he stated, he encountered Fleming in the hallway. The latter was in the act of forcing a door, he declared.
Detective Mansfield testified that the man, on being accosted, thrust his hand into his pocket. At this movement the policeman alleges he fired his service revolver in what he considered self-defense.
Fleming was rushed to Garfield Hospital in the tent precinct patrol wagon and treated for an abdominal gunshot wound. He was found to be in possession of a jimmy-wrench, screw driver and other burglar tools.
A coroner's jury decided that Mansfield fired in the line of duty. Funeral services were held Wednesday from Walker Memorial Baptist Church. Interment was at Woodlawn Cemetery, W. Ernest Jarvis in charge.

H.W.SMITH MADE
HEADQUARTERS
DETECTIVE SERG.
It was officially announced, last week that H. W. Smith, plain-clothes man attached to the eighth police precinct, had been chosen as the man to succeed J. T. (Tom) Jackson as Detective Sergeant at the central bureau. The announcement came from Commissioner Needham C. Turnage following
H. W. SMITH, police detective who has been promoted as detective sergeant at central bureau.
recommendation from the major and Superintendent of Police.
Mr. Smith, who will assume the duties as a headquarters man beginning March 1, will be the seventh Negro to hold this position. An article in last week's Tribune named Henry Lacy, Harry Beckley, Paul W. Jones, J. W. Jones, and J. T. Jackson, but omitted Robert J. Carroll. Mr. Carroll was appointed a Detective Sergeant at the same time Mr. Beckley received his promotion. This brings the total to six rather than five colored Detective Sergeants as was stated last week.
Mr. Smith was taken on the Metropolitan force as a patrol driver in 1903. During that year he served as extra wagon man at several precincts. In 1904, Mr. Smith was stationed at number eight precinct where he has seen service ever since.
Policeman 17 Years
From wagon duty Mr. Smith was promoted in 1906 to the position of uniformed policeman, and during the 17 years from 1906 to 1923 he patrolled one beat. Covering the territory from Sixteenth to Twenty-second and Q to T Streets, Mr. Smith's beat comprised the most popular residential section in the city.
Graduating in 1923 from uniformed ranks, Mr. Smith was made plain-clothes man, detailed to enforce the National Prohibition Act. Later he was made Internal Revenue Agent. In 1926 Mr. Smith was promoted to precinct detective, in which capacity he completes his service in the eighth precinct.
Mr. Smith, during his term as a precinct man, has aided in the apprehension and conviction of many criminals.
Mr. Smith lives at 902 French street, northwest, with his wife and one daughter, a student at Howard University.
JUDGE FINNEY SPEAKS AT
HOWARD
Judge Edward C. Finney, first assistant secretary and budget officer of the United States Department of the Interior, delivered an address in the Howard University chapel last Friday. Before Judge Finney's address, the Men's Glee Club, under the direction of Roy W. Tibbs, sang two selections and at the conclusion of his address, the whole student body sang the Alma Mater and followed it with lusty cheers.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY AND FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL ITEMS AWAIT HOUSE OK
The Senate favorably acted on the conference report on the appropriation for Freedmen's Hospital and Howard University. The report has not as yet been presented to the House for action. It will, however, be presented Monday.
As the bill now stands, Howard will get the full amount asked for, $390,000. Freedmen's will get $474,500 of which amount the District will have to pay half.
While the House has not as yet taken action, it is believed that the two items will pass without trouble. The Howard University item was stricken from the bill on a point of order in the House.
OFFICER GARRY RAMPAGES THRU N. E.
Less than a year after the episode in which he brutally beat a Negro woman and child in the northeast section, Policeman C. E. Garry (white) of the eleventh precinct, again comes to the fore in the role of "lion-in-lamb's clothing." His latest rampage involves the violation of every law of respect and courtesy due an American citizen.
About dusk, Sunday, G. E. Sanderson, of 1851 Third street, northwest, was returning with his wife and a friend from a visit to the home of his brother, Walter B. Sanderson, 4639 Meade street, northeast, a policeman attached to number 4 precinct. Proceeding south on Minnesota avenue, Mr. Sanderson found himself forced to drive to the left side of the avenue in order to pass a motorcycle parked in the road's middle. The motorcycle belonged to Policeman Garry, who was holding up a car, presumably for a traffic violation.
On the wrong side of the road, Mr. Sanderson was confronted with an oncoming northbound car, the driver of which took to a ditch at the side of the highway to avoid a collision. In the excitement Mr. Sanderson called to Garry and asked why he had thus obstructed southbound traffic. The officer made no reply.

FEDERATION OF P-T.ASSN'S HEAR HYGIENE LECT'RE
The placing of the health classes was the subject of discussion at the quarterly meeting of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations, held at the Dunbar High School, last Friday evening. After a discussion and a statement by G. C. Wilkinson, the association voted to approve the temporary site selected for the health school by the board of education. George A. Parker, president of the federation, appointed a committee to recommend a permanent site for the health school. Mrs. L. M. Fitzugh, of the Mott School Association, gave an interesting lecture on sex hygiene. It was recommended that a class be formed and placed in charge of Dr. Dorothy Boulding to study sex hygiene. The association directed the secretary to suggest to the board of education that the auditorium in the Miner Normal School be named the George F. Cook Auditorium. The secretary was also directed to ask that permission be given to the association to place a tablet in the hall in memory of the former superintendent.
The association went on record as approving a recommendation to print an account of the activities of the federation and different Parent-Teacher Associations, J. C. Payne, Rev. H. T. Gaskins, and Clarence Tolliver were appointed a (Continued on page 2)

SEPARATE SCHOOLS PUT SEGREGATION IDEAS IN HEAD OF JUDGE
Mrs. Frances Freeman, mother of Henry Hill, local basketball manager and promoter, died suddenly at her place of employment, 1852 Third street, northwest, last Saturday morning.
Mrs. Freeman, born in Plains, Va., had a resident of this city for over 30 years, during which time she had established herself as a devout church and fraternal worker.
Death overtook Mrs. Freeman at 11 o'clock while she was going about her duties. Mrs. Freeman's long stay in the bathroom caused her employer, Mrs. Mamie Russell to look for her. Entering the bath room, she found Mrs. Freeman on the floor dead.
Mrs. Freeman was a member of the George W. Price Relief Association. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 o'clock from the Mr. Airy Baptist Church, Rev. A. J. Tyler, pastor, officiating.
Mrs. Freeman lived with two sons, her only survivors, Clay and Henry Hill at their residence, 2414 Georgia avenue.
SWEETHEART SLAYER SENTENCED TO "LIFE"
Earl Williams, who killed his sweetheart, Mrs. Catherine Martin Ward, because he "loved her," on October 31 last at Second and I streets, southeast, was sentenced to serve the remainder of his life in prison last Saturday by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in Criminal Court No. 1.
Williams shot Mrs. Ward as she ran from him after he had threatened her. He fired five times at her, two bullets taking effect, one passing through her right lung and liver.
In his confession to the police, he stated that he killed her because "I loved her."
He was indicted for first degree murder. When he was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty but later was allowed to withdraw this plea and plead guilty to second-degree murder. Chief Justice McCoy gave him the maximum penalty.
Williams is 27 years old. His victim was 21 years old.
GETS DIVORCE
Mrs. Helen H. Hawkins, apartment 22, 52 Quincy Street, northwest, was awarded last Thursday a final decree of absolute divorce from Francis J. Hawkins, 57 O street, northwest, by Justice William Hitz. The interlocutory decree was granted October 20, 1927. Mrs. Hawkins charged that her husband misconducted himself with Madeline Walker in apartment No. 21 at 1724 T street, northwest, March 21, 1926, and since that date that the two have lived together. While the suit was pending, Hawkins and the correspondent married and are now living at the O street address. Mrs. Hawkins did not ask for any permanent alimony. The first Mrs. Hawkins and Francis J. Hawkins were married in Towson, Md., October 14, 1922. The petition for an absolute divorce was filed in the District Supreme Court on March 26, 1926. Attorney Augustus W. Gray represented Mrs. Helen H. Hawkins.
MORGAN BEATS HOWARD IN
ANNUAL CLASSIC
ORANGE, N. J.—The second annual holiday game between the Morgan College and Howard University basketball teams went to Coach Charlie Drew's Bears, here, February 22, by a 37-19 score. The game decided the championship of a three-game series. Each team had one victory to its credit.
Judge Isaac R. Hitt of the police court of the District of Columbia does not know that segregation of colored and white prisoners awaiting trial is an affront to the colored people.
He told a committee from the Washington Bar Association that he intended no insult when he suggested in a signed article appearing in a Sunday paper that segregation of colored and white prisoners awaiting trial ought to be instituted in the District of Columbia.
He got his idea of segregating prisoners from the segregated school system in the District of Columbia, he said.
The committee that waited on Judge Hitt was appointed, at a meeting of the Washington Bar Association last Thursday night. It consisted of Charles E. Robinson, Carl Alexander and Charles H. Houston.
The bar association adopted a resolution declaring that if the signed article expressed the views of Judge Hitt, it regarded him as unfit to be a police court judge.
The members of the bar association took the view that a police court judge, who believes in segregating prisoners, might also believe in segregated justice—one kind for white offenders and another kind for colored offenders. In fact, many lawyers, who try cases before Judge Hit, declare that it is impossible to get a fair and impartial trial where the testimony of white and colored persons is in conflict. Invariably, they say, he will take the word of the white person, especially if he should be a policeman.
WM. MURRAY OF MURRAY BROTHERS ILL
William McKinley 'Murray, youngest member of the firm of Murray Brothers Printing Co., is at Freedmen's Hospital suffering an attack of pericarditis. Mr. Murray was ordered to the hospital last Saturday following a medical diagnosis of the ailment which for several months has given him cause for complaint. While an operation was at first considered, later reports from the hospital indicate that such a step will not be necessary. Mr. Murray works in the capacity of chief linotype operator during his hours at the Murray Brothers printing establishment. He is also a columnist for the Tribune. Mr. Murray recently was admitted to the Virginia bar, having graduated from the John M. Langston School of Law last June, and having passed the state bar examination a few weeks later.
ZETA PHI BETA OBSERVES
FINER WOMANHOOD WEEK
"Finer Womanhood Week," the annual movement of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority, will be celebrated all over the country wherever chapters of the sorority are established during the last week of February.

Alpha and Beta-Zeta chapters, local chapters, will be "at home" Sunday, February 26, from 5 to 8 p.m., at the Zeta Phi Beta sorority house, 601 Howard place, northwest. A public meeting will be held Monday, February 27, at 8 p.m., in Rankin Memorial Chapel. The Beta-Zeta chapter will conduct a round-table discussion at the sorority house Wednesday, February 29, at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Myrtle Redmond-Phillips, instructor in Education at Howard University, will lead the discussion at that time.
The public is cordially invited to each of these affairs.

Y.W. NON-STOP FLIGHT STARTS FOR $20,500
The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. campaign executive committee has completed its organization for the forthcoming expansion campaign, February 27 to March 10, for $20,500. This amount includes $15,000 for a much needed dormitory annex; $1,600 for three acres near Arundel, Md., for a camp site, and $3,900 for the 1928 maintenance of general activities. An important mass meeting of all campaign workers will be held on Sunday afternoon, February 26, at 4 o'clock sharp, in the Phyllis Wheatley gymnasium. At this meeting, Mrs. Frances Boyce will preside. The invocation will be said by Rev. W. H. Thomas of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The benediction will be pronounced by Rev. D. E. Wiseman, of the Church of Our Redeemer. The Amphion Glee Club will lead in the singing, Mrs. Helen Farquahar Sanford, from the National Board Y. W. C. A., who is directing the campaign at the request of the Phyllis Wheatley Board, will give final instructions to the solicitors, who will then select the names of those they will call on from the list of prospects.
"The campaign," says Mrs. Sanford, "is not to be a house-to-house canvass. It might rather be termed, 'an acquaintance campaign,' since solicitors select names of people they know. No solicitor will call on anyone for whom a blue card is not first obtained at campaign headquarters, 901 Rhode Island avenue, northwest. Workers will all be provided with a credential card.' Active solicitation will begin on Monday morning, February 27. On Monday from 5 o'clock to 6 o'clock, a report meeting will be held in the gymnasium. A dinner, complimentary to all workers will be held on Monday at this time and on each following evening during the campaign at the same hour. A slogan contest to stimulate interest among the young folk in the campaign has been carried on at Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools during the past week.

Police are searching for George Chandler, 28, in connection with the shooting of his wife, Mrs. Ella Chandler, 27, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Lottie Wiggins, 1711 U street, northwest, last Tuesday afternoon. The shooting was the culmination of a series of alleged threats among which was the promise of the husband to give the "Hickman treatment" to his wife. Chandler, whose address was given as 1326 U street, had been estranged from his wife and after failing in his attempt to have Mrs. Chandler return to him a second time, went to his wife's home and shot her. Police were told that on a previous occasion, after a separation of nearly a year, the Chandlers had become reconciled and the wife had returned to her husband.
Married 7 Years
The couple have been married seven years. After their first estrangement, according to the story told police, Mrs. Chandler had heeded the pleadings of her husband and they lived together again for about two weeks.
During the two weeks, however, it is alleged that Mrs. Chandler found her husband to be guilty of the same practices to which she had objected before, and told her husband she would leave him

PRICE FIVE CENTS
$25,000 CASH LEFT TO ONE OF TWO SONS
The will of the late John Tapplet was filed for probate this week by Attorney Augustus W. Gray. The will disposes of an estate valued at $50,000. Of this amount $25,821 was in cash in local banks. Over $21,000 was in real estate. The balance was in personal property.
With the exception of two pieces of property, the entire estate goes to Arthur Tapplet, a son, living at 1318 G street, northeast, and employed at the Bureau of Engraving.
John Tapplet died February 5 at the age of 81 years. Born a slave near Fredericksburg, Va., in 1847, he lived there until 1860 when he came to Washington. Leaving here he went to Philadelphia where he remained for several years. Later he returned to Washington and began working for the Thomas W. Smith Lumber Company. About 1892, he opened up a lumber business of his own at 1600 B street, northeast, which business he ran until his death.
Although he never went to school, he applied himself to the problems of life and through his thrift and business ability, he amassed a small fortune.
While a devout Christian, he had little belief in fraternal affairs, so he was not a member of any such organization.
Son is Executor
His will was dated January 14, 1928, and named his son Arthur as executor without bond. It was filed for probate before Justice Stafford.
After providing for all funeral expense and just debts to be paid, the will provides that all the moneys on deposit and seven lots and all personal effects, go to Arthur Tapplet.
A half-brother, Beverly Williams, was bequeathed the premises known as 1322 B street, northeast. Another son, Francis D., was left the premises known as 15 Seventeenth street, northeast. The will states that because of the inbreedry and waywardness of this son he must be contented with one piece of property.
The will further provides that if any one named therein attempts to break the instrument, that he will forfeit that which he has been given and will receive only one dollar.
The lumber business will be carried on by the two brothers, Francis and Arthur.
N. M. LANGHORNE CHURCH WORKER DIES SUDDENLY
The death of Nelson M. L. Langhorne, well known local church and fraternal man early last Sunday morning was as surprising as it was sudden.
Mr. Langhorne, father of Carroll N. and J. Leon Langhorne, died at 5:15 a.m. Sunday after spending all Saturday in his usual work routine. For 25 years he had been in the employ of the P. J. Knee, Furniture Company.
Returning home late Saturday evening, Mr. Langhorne did some work at the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, to which he belonged, in preparation for the Sunday services. Throughout the day he was apparently well and hearty.
His death, it is believed, was the result of a brief attack of the periodic illness from which he has suffered during the past four years.
Mr. Langhorne, was born in Lynchburg, Va., in 1883. He had been a resident of this city since 1898. He was a member of the E. K. Manuel Lodge, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and was chairman of the board of trustees at the Walker Memorial Baptist Church.
Funeral services were from the church, Tuesday at 1 o'clock. Rev. E. B. Gordon, of Chester, Pa., former pastor of the church, officiated.
Surviving Mr. Langhorne are his wife, Persidia and two sons, both members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.

SEORGE WASHINGTON AND
THE NEGRO
Failure to contemplate an ap-

and development, because of natur-
al resentment against his posses.

tation at Mount Vernon, is a grave
mistake, As American citizens we
are heirs to all of our country’s
glory, and mutually responsible for
its shortcomings. Failure to un-
derstand and to apply such a meas-
ure to our citizenship, weakens it.
The fact that our own poet, Miss
Wheatley, conjured her muse to
sound the praise’ of the nation’s
first chief executive, makes him a
Part of our racial heritage.
George Washington was an un-
usual man.among white men of all
ages. His childhood and youth
gave him opportunity ‘to think,
judge and act largely -upon intui-
tion, as has acted young Lindbergh,
His ownership of siaves gave him
practice in command. and. in the
Imowledge of the imperfection of
human service in carrying out or-
ders. There. is reason to believe
that Washington’s attitude would
have been very different had he
been called from a post of execu-
tive control of a modern corpora-
tion to assume the position he
held under the Continental Con-
gress.
Had the distinguished and cut-
standing leader of the early days
of our country, left us nothing but
his letters to the different churches,
we should be his debtor. Wash-
ington forcibly stated his injune-
tions against intolerance, injustice
and proscription as enemies to the
success of ' democratie-republican
institutions. His specifie standard
given to the Presbyterians of his
day, but applicable to every de-
nomination in our times, must give
us reason to regard him. “For no
man,” wrote he, “who is profligate
in his morals, or a bad member of
the civil community, can ‘possibly
be a true Christian, or a credit to
his own religious society.”
Should the whole nation unitedly
devote a few minutes once a year
to a consideration of the legacy
of its most outstanding founder, it
might proceed along a course more
in harmony with its ideals.
THE STREET CAR MERGER
Few contemplated movements
affect our group as may the pro-
posed merger of the strect car and
bus lines of this District. Under
the proposed plan upon which
hearings are to be held in the board
room of the District Building, be-
ginning February 29, the public
must pay such prices for trancpor-
tation as will guarantee a dividend
of 7 per cent upon the 59 million
capitalization of the new company.
Not satisfied with such a guar-
antee, the new company is to be
relieved of the cost of paving be-
tween the tracks of the car lines,
and relieved from paying the sal-
aries of the crossing policemen. It
sounds like a case of “Heads 1
‘win and tails you lose,” because the
merger loads upon the people of the
District—especialiy the poorer peo-
ple who do not own and operate
automobiles—all the costs, and at
the same time, the company pro-
tects itself from all possibilities of
failure to get a full return on its
inflated valuation.
Tt should not be overlooked that
it has been the growth and the
hustle of the people of the Dis-
trict which has made the trans-
portaticn lines possible; and xf any
party to the contract is to be re.
warded, it zhould be those wih. havc
made and who will continue tc
make its value possible, rather ther
those who are coming in at the iat
er date to introduce savings in ov.
erhead, and possibly in wages paic
in toto. It is understood that the
merger does not propose to recox
nize the employees as an organize:
group. That in itself suggests ar
effort to impose new wages an¢
employment terms.
Our group stands in pesition tc
be seriously affected by any in.
creased fare for transportation,
this, because of low income, distant
residence, and the placing of ou:
schools in congested areas. Shoulé
we begin to move back into the old.
er sections of the city, our grou
would not save, because we would
meet increased rents and poorer
living conditions.
This is one matter which de-
| everybody with half fare for schoo!
children, the paving of the streets
and sprinkling of highways during
the summer months.
Benefits and risks should run to-
gether,
WHERE IS THAT PROSPERITY?
‘The fact that certain corpora-
tions are paying satisfactory divi-
dends while small business is suf-
fering a severe stringency and mil-
ions of unemployed find no jobs
open, must give us pause. From
time to time, we have been urged
‘to hearken to the sounds of money
tinkling into the coffers of our
business men and to enjoy the
pleasure of cur American working
people who were receiving ample
wages and living on the highest
plane in the world. Though we did
not experience the permanent
pleasure of receiving the benefits,
we heard the story repeated so
often and by such authorities, that
we felt that it should be true, but
we have come to hear the opposite.
Today the ery goes up from those
who are experiencing the hurt, It
is corroborated by our own ex-
perience and excites us to inquiry.
We have been told that over-
production and under-consumption
are causes of the slump; that the
inability of Europe to buy our sur-
plus is another cause; that uncer-
tainty as to the outcome of the ap-
proaching presidential campaign
makes new business ventures un-
wise, and that the high tariff and
high taxes contribute their weight,
Be those things as they may, the
fact is America is floundering in an
economic slough of despond not
justified by the conditions, barring
interferences somewhere along the
line.
Cautious Kellogg, thrifty Mellon
and silent Cal have been giving
America the kind of advice that a
rich creditor gives a poor debtor:
“Live on less, or earn more, but
pay what is demanded,”
When the Saturday Evening Post,
spokesman for the Babbitts, prints
a story of cotton planters. in the
Southwest who want the cheapest
lnbor possible, there is little reason
to doubt that capitalists are tak-
ing the larger share of all pro-|
duction, and leaving the workers
with smal] power to buy what has
been produced, ‘Too many billions
have been and are being “tied up
in conerete which is not productive.
Railroads have created immense
cities in which the people must pile
up in eyer increasing tiers and
move about and depend upon public
utilities that take too high a toll
of the individual income.
The land has passed by mortgage
into the hands of a relatively few
owners, and the rents in cities are
cut of proportion to the productiv-
ity of land elsewhere. Marketing
agencies buy at their own price
the farmer’s surplus and store it
against a period of demand at a
price which more than pays the in-
vestors, Legislators are more
amenable to the lobbying of inter-
ests than they are to the interest
of their constituents; and courts
find it easy to support veSted priv-
ilege by means of established pre-
codents.
Conditions have become as Alex-
ander Hamilton warned the people
they might, when he wrote in The
Federalist, prior to the adoption of
the Constitution: “It is not execu-
tive encroachment we should fear,
but the dominance of commerce
which has even now begun to spent:
ike a master.”
The prosperity is here in the nat-
ural resources, the machine equip-
ment, the demands of the people
and the energy they are willing to
expend to supply these demands.
The time has come when those same
people should direct their thinking
to the solution of the problem of
the diverted distribution which has
short-circuited the prosperity for
which they yoted in 1924.
MAN AND THE HOUR
One phase of our expansion be-
yond the confines of our immediate
territory, and our expansion
through machine production, bas

There appears to be an epidemic
of strikes among our schools, now-
adays. Kittrell is the latest ad-
dition to the list of schools hav-

that our students can THINK in-
dependently of their superiors; and
thinking, can ACT.
The police of Lafayette, Louis-

are found to be out of work, and
then “renting them out” to white

Yes, this WOULD be “involuntary

‘The passage of the last quarter

what volume of business we handle,

The congestion of business in all
large cities, in harmony with the
drift of .peoples in that direction,
has been accompanied with diversi-
fication of trade among us. Just
what is the value of our purchas-

be guided and controlled by our Na-

by our newspapers, are also mat-

“Let's stop ‘knocking’ and begin
‘to support our men who are doing
‘big, things,” says an anonymous
writer to the Tribune in last week's
paper. The letter was in reference
to an editorial in this paper of
‘February 10, entitled, “Dr. Morde-
cai Johnson and the Negro Press.”
__ How often do we hear this ery
‘from the “Babbitts” when construc-
tive criticisms are hurled at those
who occupy places or positions, if
you choose, of emine=ce,
Dr. Johnson, nor any other hu-
man for that matter, can always
‘be right. Many of his policies at
‘Eoward as well as his rulings and
other acts will turn out to be
“wrong, or ill advised. This would
‘be true even were the good doctor
far wiser than he appears to be.
The thing for Dr. Johnson or any
‘other man in public life to do is
‘to, invite a close serutiny ‘of his
every act, and constructive criti-
‘cisms of his policies, It is only
‘through this method | that we
evolve the right “rom the wrong;
‘that we approach perfection.
If the Negro press is to remain
silent. while men in_high~ places
commit grave errors, then it is not
worthy of its existence. The press
is as much a searchlight into. the
rice’s innermost self as it is a
hcrn in the mouth of a “booster” on
the house top. It is as necessary
to know where we are going as it
is to know where we have come
from.
Dr, Johnson occupies his present
position because several years ago
a few Negroes, backed by the more
independent part of the Negro press,
dared to criticise the policy of the
trustee board of the university in
keeping unfit white men in the
president’s chair. At that time.
hundreds of people of the type of
the writer of the anonymous let-
ter mentioned above came forward
with the cry, “Stop knocking and
support the good white men who
ccndeseend to help our race by
heading, our largest institutions.”
Today, these people are saving the
same thing about Dr. Johnson:
“Now that we have a good presi-
dent—one of our own race, ‘boost’
him.”
Point out the dangers that are
before him? No! Suggest better
ways for getting results? No!
just “boost” him right or wrong,
because he’s “of our own race.”
It is on these shoals that most
Negro institutions—business, reli-
gious and educational—have been
lost, and Negro leaders have
wrecked. their careers.
‘A little constructive criticism at
the right time might have saved
the Standard Life Insurance Com-
pany: it might have prevented the
wrecking of the Brown and Stevens
bank; and might have altered the
careers of many mortal beings.
Dr. Mordecai Johnson, too, may
yet find it helpful to him.

TTY DOCTOR WAS AVAIL-
‘ABLE
February 20, 1928.
Editor Washington Tribune,
Dear Sir:
Someone kindly sent me a mark-
ed copy of February 17th edition of
your paper.
Under “Needle Points,” by Willie
Mack, I find Willie’s criticism for
my being treated at George Wash-
ington Hospital for nitrict acid
burns on my foot instead of Freed-
men’s Hospital, etc.
In reply to Willie's criticism,
which T hope you will publish, will
state that at the time of accident,
which occurred in the store room of
the Medical School, my trouser leg
was burned off nearly to the knee,
the acid running down into my shoe,
which I peeled off as quickly as
possible. I then drove my own au-
tomobile, barefooted, in a pouring
rain to FREEDMEN'S HOSPIT-
‘AL, accompanied by Dr. H. E. Bak-
er, laboratory assistant. The in-
terne there put on a dressing and
sent me home.
‘The next day, realizing for the
first time the seriousness of the
burn, I called up Dean Edward A
Balloch and asked him to send me
a physician. Dr. Balloch called me
up later in the day and stated that
he had called up at !east six mem.
bers of Howard medical faculty and
was unable to reach any of them
and advired me to cail in my own
family physician.
Further, Miss Jane Bosfctd, clerk,
and Prof. Daniel H. Smith also
called up several physicians with-
out success.
‘When the physician I called in
arrived and saw the nature of the
burn, he ordered me to George
Washington Hospital immediately
for treatment which could not be
carried out st my home.
So your little Willie can readily
see that’ I made every effort to
show the “Good old Howard spirit.”
Because the accident occurred at
‘Howard I thought it proper to have
it treated there, but I could not run
further risk of infection and kidney
involvement by waiting for How-
ard.

Dean of Pharmacy.

By Kelly Miller
* From the present appearance of
things, Secretary Hoover has the
best chance of securing the niomi-
nation on the Republican eandi-
date has by far the better chance
cf election.
It is of tradition that he served
as laundry agent and waited on
tables to earn his way through
school. This basic experience
ought to give him a broad sym-
pathy with those who are strug-
gling to better their positions in
the world,
‘And yet we cannot always he
too sure. If we scan the list of our
chief executives, we find them
fairly well distributed between the
aristocrats and the common peo-
ple, Woodrow Wilson perhaps
showed understanding | sympathy
for the under dog beyond ary pres-
ident except Lincoin, although the
school master president was of
noble cultural descent.
Hoover a Quaker
Mr. Hoover is of Quaker stock
and traditions. Both himself and
wife belong to the Quaker house-
hold of faith. If religious belief
and persuasion any longer influence
the attitude of public men towards
the practical issues of life we can
most assuredly look to Mr. Hoover
for the fullest sympathy and sup-
port of the cause of the common
people against arrogance and
power.
The Negro most especially may
expect a most generous attitude to-
wards right and justice in the ad-
ministration of public affairs. | It
is well known to students of his-
tory that the Quakers throughout

There's’ room at the top, ambitious

‘That leads to wealth and fame;
If you will keep astriving,
You'll labor not in vain.
Scale the ladder round by round,
Hard though the climbing be:
Keep your eye on that bright star
‘That leads to eternity.
Those whe have reached the co-
veted mark,
‘Were once as low as you,
From the goal they ‘hoped to

Though it was quite in view.
Like Wright, who gave us: wings

Fulten who dreamed of steam,
Franklin who caught the electric
spark,
Ford with the auto dream,
‘These men all had visions great,
A working in their minds:
Astriving ever to reach the top,
Though varied were their lines.
Lindbergh caught Wright's great
view,
‘And crossed the mighty, sea;
Others took up Fulton's’ dream,
And a Lusitania be.
Franklin's heirs gave phones, and
lights,
With Ford: still at the wheel—
There's room at the top, ambitious
lad,
If you have push and zeal,
Awake! \and__climb, yor chosen

And de ‘a work worth while;
Nor stop because obstacies ¢reat,
In your pathway higher pile.
Breathe again! renew your

And keep right straight ahead,
Till the victory you seek i yours;
And your enemies are dead.

ROOM AT THE TOP
By E. F. Posey
Phenomena divine,
A primordial slime,
A spark, and a light,
‘A day, and then night.
A RILEY POEM
our ag lear £ have: taken the ‘cading
role in the emancipation of the
Negro and in upholding his guar-
anteed rights. ‘The dominant mot-
to of the, Quaker is, “Let. your
conscience be your guide.” “The
Negro has suffered by reason of
the fact that recent statesmanship
jseems disposed te follow the haze
of expediency rather than the
light of conscience. We at least,
at the present stage, have the right
to hope that Secretary Hoover, if
chosen’ president, will prove true
to the traditicn of the faith which
he espouses.
Predicted Winner
Our Negro statesman have al-
ready picked Mr. Hoover as the
winner. At this stage of the game
the Northern Negro does not func-
tion, He can only stand aloof and
wait until the master voice is ut-
tered. But the Southern leader,
with the almost unerring African
instinct, ean seein advance and
seize the advantage of the keen
foresight.
/ Let us hope that our colored
statesmen, will not repeat the po-
litical folly by which they have un-
wittingly misled the race for the
past thirty years. By roseate
prophesy they have assured us
that if their candidate were elect-
ed the Ness would haye every
wrong righted and every grievance
remedied. We heard this in the
ease of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft,
Harding and Coolidge.’ Shortly af-
ter election extravagant prophecy
gave way to the deep disappoint-
ment and loud denunciation. All
of these went out of office leaving
the Negro in deep disappointment
and chagrin. This ought not to be
the case inthe instance of Presi-
dent Coolidge. The others did
make campaign promises which af-
ter election they did not chose tc
fulfill! - But not so with Mr. Cool-
idge. “He promised nothing. If
therefore, his accomplishments for
the ‘race fell short of expection
he cannot be accused of unfulfilled
promises by way of recognition.
I trust that Mr. Hoover's. Quaker
honesty. will not permit him to
make a single promise which he
will’ not fulfill, and at the same
time it is to be hoped that our cam-
paign spokesmen will not. deceive
us with the expectations of more
than we are likely to secure.
I would like to sce Mr. Hoover
the first Republican President,
since Grant, to go out of the White
House-with’ the same good opinion
‘on the part of the Negro.

“THE BEST YOU CAN”
Dear Editor: Here is an edito
vial that appeared in a recent is-
sue of “The Light,” a Negro pub
lication published in Chicago. It
is called, “The Best You Can.” Per:
haps other Tribunites will appre
ciate it. I think that it is fine.
“There are many boys who would
enjoy being great like Lindbergh.
‘And there are girls who would be
Jane Addamses when they grow
up. The chances are that neither
the boys or the girls will ever suc-
ceed in reaching their ideal, one of
the reasons being that carecrs are
as different as hands and faces
No two are exactly alike, and «
small incident in youth can have
the effect of entirely reshaping the
course of one’s future life.
“The ideal of every boy and girl,
man and woman, should be to do
the best they can. That is an idea!
that can be always present and
can be sought in the smallest as
well as the biggest tasks.
“Many people like to put off the
day for reaching their ideals, as ar
excuse for their slothfulness. But
the ideal of doing the best you
can may be attained in the sweep-
ing of a room, washing dishes, ir
the running ‘of an errand, in
thoughtfulness towards others, i
ail the small things of life.
“The man or woman who does
the best he or she can will be liv
ing a useful life, They may no’
be a Lindbergh or a Jane Addams
but they will be just as important
in their spheres, and just as hap

SEGREGATION
Assistant Secretaries of the
Treasury Carl T. Schuneman and
Seymour Lowman will be asked to
withdraw their approval of segre-
gated toilet facilities in the post
office at Selma, Ala., and to order
the removal of signs designating
the portion to be used by colored
employees and the portion to be
used by white employees, John 'T.
Risher, representative of the Na-
tional Alliance of Postal Employees
here announced Monday.
At the same time, Mr. Risher
mad. public, letters written by Mr.
Schuneman’ and Mr. Lowman, in
which they expressed approval of
the arrangement for the use of one-
half of the facilities by white em-
ployees only and the other half by
colored employees only.
Mr. Lowman in his letter under
date of September 2, 1927, stated:
“This appears to be purely a
matter of local building adminis-
tration. It is not seen how any
discrimination can be charged when
the toilet facilities at the building
are equally divitied among the
‘white and colored employees, espe-
cially so when the larger number
of postal employees are white.
“No Cause for Complaint”
“As there seems to be no just
cause for complaint the Depart-
ment (Treasury) does not feel war-
ranted in taking any action at this
e."”
Under date of October 13, 1927,
Assistant Secretary Schuneman
wrote to Roy O. Wilhoit, president
of the National Alliance of Postal
Employees, as follows: é
“This matter was taken up with
the Post Office Department, and
that Department states that it be-
lieves that the morale of the postal
forces at Selma is not involved in
the matter under discussion, ‘The
custodian o} ‘post of
ar Sele, to pions Ue cto
also referred, states that he has re-
ceived no complaints whatever from
the employees concerning the toil-
et facilities.
“In view of the above, therefore,
the Department (Treasury) does
not feel warranted in taking any
action at this time regarding the
matter in question.”
Passes the Blame
‘When the attention of the Post
Office Department was directed to
this segregation by Mr. Wilhoit,
John H. Bartlett, first assistant
postmaster general, passed the re-
sponsibility to the Treasury De-
partment. He advised Mr. Withoit
under date of September 21, 1927,
as follows:
“This is a matter in which the
Department cannot possibly take
action, as Government-owned build-
ings come under the jurisdiction of
the supervising architect, ‘Treas-
ury Department, and that official
being the custodian of “all such
buildings, it is incumbent upon him
to issue appropriate instructions
concerning the use of facilites
within the building. We have ac-
‘cordingly forwarded your letter to
the Treasury Department for ap-
‘propriate attention.”
Segregated a Year
| This segregation in. the Selma
post office was instituted on Feb-
ruary 25, 1927. The present post-
master, Robert Patterson, a Repub-
ican, was confirmed by the United
‘States Senate on February 15, 1926.
Under D. M. Seott, a Democrat,
who served three terms as post-
master at Selma, an effort was
made at segregation. | Major Seott
learned the identity of a clerk, who
put up @ segregation sign, called
him into his office and advised him
that whenever it became necessary
to issue orders of restriction in. the
use of the post office Saciiton, he
himself would do so over his, sig-
nature as postmatser and custodian
of the building. This ended at-
tempts at segregation in the Selma
post office under Democratic rule.

GARNET C, WILK-
INSON. PRAISED
FOR EFFICIENCY
Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of
Deeds of the District of Columbia,
Fras oe ae Government offi-
cials charged with inefficiency by
Representative William P, Holaday,
Republican, of Ilinois, last Friday,
when consideration of the District
appropriation bill for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1929, was be-
gun in the House. ‘The other two
officials were A. L, Harris, munici-
pal architect, and Frank W. Ballou,
superintendent of public schools.
Mr. Holaday excepted Garnet C.
Wilkinson, first assistant superin-
tendent in charge of colored schools,
trom his criticism of the District
public school system,
He said that Mr. Wilkinson im-
pressed him “as a man who was
absolutely fair and open with the
committees ;that he did not have
anything to conceal; that he was
making his recommendations fair-
ly and openly and willing to stand
by his judgment, but willing, if
overruled, to adapt himself to the
circumstances,
After criticising the office of the
municipal acrhitect, Mr, Holaday
stated:
Recorder of Deeds
“There is another office in the
Distriet with which I am not satis-
fied, and I-am not satisfied with
the manner in which it is being op-
erated. That is the office of the
recorder of deeds.
“There the committee has made
certain. changes. and we have had
certain understandings with the
present recorder which I hope will
bring about more efficient and satis-
factory service. If in another year
it is found that conditions have not
been changed or remedied, then it
will be necessary to. consider fur-
ther “steps with reference to the
conduct of that office.”
The criticism of Mr-Froe result-
ed from his failure to adopt recom-
mendations of the Bureau of Effi-
ciency after it had made an ex-
haustive study of the work of the
recorder of deeds.
When Mr. Froe appeared before
the District peteuniie of the
House appropriations committee, of
which Mr. Holaday is a member, he
was, vary shonaly gquestioned 're-
garding ‘lure to put into ef-
fect ‘tho recommendations of, the
Bureau of Efficiency, particularly
the use of cash register receipts in.
place of the old fashioned hand
written receipt for fees collected.
FORMER TEXAS MANAGER
OF NAT'L BENEFIT JAILED
S. W. Rutherford, secretary and
general manager of the National
Benefit Life Insurance Company,
announces receipt of information
of the disposition of the criminal
proceedings pending since June,
1927, against N. P. Williams, for-
mer’ manager of the company’s
Fort Worth, Texas, office, where-
in Mr. Williams was convicted
pepon nine counts of an indictment
rging him with forging’ the
names of various doctors and pol-
i boat to disability benefit cer-
tes. Williams was also
charged and pleaded guilty to the
charge of “larceny by trick,” in
that he collected $250 on the death
claim of George Smith, by succeed-
ing in having a Fort Worth phy-
sician certify that Smith was
dead, and after securing this cer-
tificate a permit issued, authoriz-
ing the undertaker's interment of
Smith’s body. During all this
time Smith was employed by the
City Gas Company of El Paso,
Texas—some three hundred miles
away—and knew nothing about his
alleged demise and interment.
Judge Hosey, before whom Wil-
Tiams was arraigned on February
18th, imposed a sentence of two
years on each count of the charges
‘against Williams.
In an interview, Secretary Ruth-
erford stated that this case was
one in which the National Bene-
fit had gone to considerable ex-
Dn ata
ploying associate counsel, for the
reason that his company had
simply ‘decided that it would no
longer submit to the criminal
abuses to which it and other com-
panies have been subjected- by
many of their employees in the
past.

an, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, wi-
dow of Judge Robert H. Terrell,

Paper
Through a remarkable new
scientific discovery, it is now possi-
ble 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 sixty-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 (Ssbum), 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.
FREE TRIAL

OTHER MIGHTY WORKS OF
JESUS
GOLDEN TEXT: "Thy faith hath
made thee whole." Mark 5:34.
Read Mark 5:22-43
In last Sunday's lesson we found Jesus on the Sea of Galilee and in Gadara. On the sea he had displayed his power over nature by calming a raging storm; in Gadara he had dispossessed a demoniac of an unclean spirit.
Shortly after the performance of the latter of the above named miracles Jesus obeyed an official request to leave Gadara and made his way across the sea toward Capernaum. Hardly had he set foot upon the ground in the neighborhood of this town when Jarius, a synagogue official, came and bowed before Him, begging Him to come and heal his daughter who was living at the point of death.
Such an act on the part of one in the position of Jarius must have been committed at a very great sacrifice of personal dignity as well as at the risk of place and prestige. Jarius, perhaps the president of the synagogue, was surrounded by those who had denounced Jesus as an impostor. For Jarius to go to Jesus was therefore a surrender of the dignity of the office as well
ARLINGTON REVIVAL A

as an imperilment of the office itself. However, it was a question of the probable loss of his office and prestige or the sure loss of his daughter. Jarius wisely decided to run the risk of losing his office. While Jarius entreated Jesus in behalf of his daughter the conversation was interrupted by a woman who was slowly dying of an uncheckable blood disease. This poor woman, like many unfortunate of our own day, had spent about all she had for medical aid, but without result. By a faith-touch of the hem of Christ's garment she was cured and, trembling, fell at the feet of Jesus and told her story of sorrow to Him.
Jarius stood impatiently by while the conversation between Jesus and the woman proceeded. While they still conversed a servant of Jarius came up with the sad and disheartening news that the sick daughter had already passed into eternity. In the face of this discouraging news Jesus exhorted Jarius to fear not but only believe. Jarius, true to this exhortation, led Jesus to his house where the dead girl lay. Here Jesus entered the death chamber and turned mourning into joy by restoring the dead girl to life.
It is plain that the general teaching unit of this lesson is Jesus power over sickness and death, and His willingness to exercise that power in our behalf if we will exercise faith in Him.

"FRET NOT THYSELF"
By Rev. Hampton Gaskins
Text. Psalm 37:1.
At the time of the writing of this psalm, David (its author) victim of many trials at the hands of the wicked, dejected in spirit, and disheartened in mind, complained because of the unrighteous who seemed to bask in the sunlight of prosperity regardless of the fact that they were evil doers. While thus musing Almighty God came to his rescue with the comforting admonition inspiring him to write, for his, and for the benefit of posterity the words of our text, "Fret Not Thyself."
Fretting is the vexatious element which mothers despondency which in turn mires in the slough of despondency enumerable men and women whose spiritual, moral and physical usefulness, God and the world are deprived of. Many are the men and women who are going about through the world fretting for various reasons. Unhappy homes, lack of work, overworked, lack of funds to meet obligations, disappointments, ill health, victims of evil doers and countless other reasons, but relief for none of these can be obtained by fretting.
Fret not thyself. If the home is unhappy go back to the old landmark re-establish the family altar. Call on the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, he will hear your prayer, he will bring light out of darkness and peace out of confusion.
Burdened with responsibilities and flanked on every side by financial obligation is a precarious predicament in itself; but to be out of work in connection with it and all sources of revenue cut off, brings before a man or woman a cloud of such intense darkness that he or she wonders why a Christian

should thus be deprived and suffer, while those who are not Christians seem to prosper.
But listen, ere you raise your hand to criticize this seeming inconsistency, and fret until you are seized by the hand of despondency, and precipated into the depths of the slough of despond, remember that God's word says, "Fret Not Thyself" because of evil doors for they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb.
Again he says, "Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land and verily thou shalt be fed."
Remember that, as the poet says, "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. He plants His footstep in the sea and rides upon the storm." So to any who would pause to fret because of circumstances or conditions, we again say to you in the words of the poet.
"Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds you so much dread,
Are big with mercy and shall break
With blessings, on your head."
So fret not thyself but pierce the clouds of darkness with the eye of faith and realize that behind a frowning providence God hides a smiling face. Have faith to know that, "His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour, the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower."
Fret not when faced with disappointments if you have tried to accomplish something and failed. Try again. If you have prayed many times for a certain thing and have not received an answer to your prayer, fret not, but continue to pray, because God has said, "Though I tarry, I will surely come." So fret not; the battle never give o'er; renew it boldly every day and help divine implore. Wait for God without presumptuous interference or impatient clamor; wait for Him—allow Him to act instead of attempting to act for him. Bear and forbear a little longer. He will espouse thy cause and make it triumph in the sight of men.
Ill health has for its victims numberless tibbands. Wherever we go we meet those who are fretting because of some imaginary physical ailments. Whoever you are or wherever you are, or what ever your complaint may be—fretting can only make matters worse. A rundown system can never be reconstructed by fretting. Fret not if you are sick regardless of what the diagnosis of your case may be. Put your trust in God, smile, see your physician, pray that God may direct him to properly diagnose your case, do as he tells you and go on your way rejoicing. If it is to bed, go there smiling, if it is to the hospital, go there smiling and fret not.

Sam's Scripts
Methods in the Women's Physical Education Department at Howard University comes in for a neat piece of lemon-douched criticism from the pen of Miss Gladys Jamieson in her "From a Dormer Window" column of the current issue of the "Hilltop."
This article serves to show that even the co-eds are dissatisfied with the hegemonical attitude the authorities use in running athletics (male and female) to suit themselves.
Miss Jamieson's complaint climaxes a long period of wonderment the writer has gone through, since the present basketball season began. It has always been a puzzle to the writer of "Scripts" why Howard University officials place a ban on games between their girls and the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. team. If contact with the Young Women's Christian Association girls exerts a degrading influence on their "flappers," as it is alleged the teachers contend is their reason for the ban, then the next move should be to convert the building at Ninth and Rhode Island avenue into a sorority house.
"But never mind, Gladys, don't you cry;
We'll get even by-and-by."
If the rumor that Ev Davis has signed with the Washington Elks is true, then we know it won't be long are the Carlisles will be singing, "Oh, where is Our Wonderful Boy Tonight?"
When Washington reaches the place where it can turn 3,000 persons out to witness a basketball game, elephants will roost in trees and canary birds will warble bass.
Just that many saw the Howard-Morgan mixup in Baltimore Monday.
Speaking of your Tex Rickards, Madison Square Garden has nothing on the Lincoln Colonnade. The management of our U street basketball market has the locks on the independent and professional court games. With no competition—in that there is no other available playing space where a respectable gathering can attend and be comfortable—the bosses of the Colonnade could be "big time dictators" any time they wanted to—if they wanted to.
"No ce estonte," (don't be no foolish) Senor Paulino, and poke your head out too far in front of Godfrey next Tuesday night. If you do there's likely to be a jaw he'll both run it and ruin it. We refer to the Watson affair.
This latest development in the football situation at Howard makes it appear as if President Johnson is either going to run it or ruin it. But if my opinion means anything, if the prexy has his way, he'll both run it and ruin it.

THE SPORT REVIEW
VIRGINIA SEMINARY QUINT TAKES COUNT OF STRONG MORGAN BEARS
By H. Scott
By H. Scott
(Former Sport writer for the Washington Tribune)
LYNCHBURG, Va., Feb. 17.—Over 1000 basketball fans scattered from the gym of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College here tonight with "but a single thought," where was "Lanky" Jones, the renowned pivot man of the Morgan College Bears. The Bears had just tasted its second collegiate defeat of the season, this time at the expense of Coach Johnnie Hurt's Virginia Seminary Dragons by the decisive score of 20 to 12, and Captain Jones had scored but one point.
The Dragons' victory was no fluke. Morgan was outplayed throughout the game and was able to gather but a single point during the first half while Seminary scored four field goals to lead, 8 to 1.
Extremely close guarding characterized the game. There was roughness and holding due to incompetent handling of the game but both teams were guilty.
For fully twelve minutes neither team was able to score from the floor. The Ione point of Captain Jones stood out until Smith, a veritable flash and product of a Philadelphia club team, caged the most spectacular basket of the evening to put his team in the lead which it never relinquished.
To name one star player for the game is difficult. But three guards, Wheatley of Morgan and Fowler and Bell of Seminary, covered themselves with glory. Captain Eddie Davis and Slim Henderson led the scoring with six points each. Sheffey followed with five. They were the offensive stars. The much touted "Pinkey" Clarke and "Lanky" Jones were of little trouble.
The Virginia team has already scored over 300 points against college opponents. Coach Hurt, an All-American football product at Howard under Dr. Morrison, but never a star basketball performer, has possible the greatest college five in the country.

Captain Neale, Russ and Dickerson, of the invaders, scored enough points between the three of them to turn back the locals. These men accounted for 31 of the New Jerseyan's total. Hamilton, Neale's running mate at forward added the other 2 points via the free throw route.

OPENING GAME OF INTER
FRAT SERIES CARDED
FOR SATURDAY,
MARCH 3
The 1928 curtain will rise on the annual Inter-Fraternal Basketball League inter, on Saturday, March 3, when the Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma quintes clash in the opening battle.
The league, though not in operation as such last season, put over some nifty exhibitions of competition. The teams working individually arranged their own series with one another and in that manner carried an interesting Sunday afternoon program weekly.
For some reason or another the Alpha Phi Alpha basketball management has failed thus far to list its quintes among the circuit teams. It will, however, according to authoritative statements present an interesting schedule.
SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor
THE REFLECTOR
Let's take a page from the book of Armstrong High School athletics.
Twenty-two Tech basketball players participated in the interscholastic championship game at Armstrong last Thursday afternoon. Not so good. Members of the alumni and former athletes are displeased.
In the good old days high school athletics were placed on a plane second only to that of collegiate circles. Good athletes were developed at that time and a contest between the two schools was looked forward to with much enthusiasm.
In days gone by Ed Taylor, Stanley Skinker, Clarence (Rough) Green, Clifton Roberts, Doug Henry, Ralph Scott, Charlie Drew, Nat Slaughter, and a host of others looked with pride on the "D" they received as reward for their representation of Dunbar High School in the field of athletics.
Sandy Levi, Archie Berry, Soup Turner, Oscar ("Skeets") Blue, Scrappy Brown, Kay Trigg, Van Harris Neagie Ellis, and all their predecessors and successors in the sports activities at Armstrong are, to this day, proud of the "A" awarded them in those well remembered "Letter Day" assemblies.
In those days the school letter was a coveted prize, representative of real achievement. Men—and good men—had a fight on their hands in order to win a varsity award. Those were the days when a high school letter attracted attention and respect when seen on the street. Now, however, an orange Armstrong "A" on the front of a blue sweater or jersey is looked upon as "just another piece of felt."
What if Ed Gray, the marvel athlete of the old guard, could have seen the frightful mess which was made of the last Dunbar-Armstrong basketball game.
I'm wondering how Maurice Clifford, Charlie Fisher, Charlie Hughes, or numerous other shining lights of by-gone days would have felt had they stood in the packed Armstrong gym and looked on the continuous stream of substitutes sent in by Armstrong.
Dunbar at least has a different policy. While they used only six men in the game they could have used many more, but it would not have meant that all those men would have been awarded "D's." The school letter is awarded on a unit system and those students who win them must receive a certain number of points.
Twenty-two recipients of letters in a sport in which five men make up a team! Among the twenty-two are students of every classification from the first to the senior year. Athletics in the high schools are no what they used to be.
Godfrey Gets Big Chance In Paulino Mixup Tuesday
LeapYearCarnivalFeatures Y.W.C.A. and Communitys
What might be termed "the long awaited chance" will be given George Godfrey, the Shadow of Leiperville, next Tuesday night when the Negro aspirant for the heavyweight crown meets Paulino Uzcdun, the Spaniard, in Los Angeles, Cal.
Godfrey, with victories over such pugilistic timber as Mahoney, Munn, Gates, and all other white fighters who have been induced to meet him in the past two years, has a good chance to put the foreigner to sleep.
Paulino and his Island followers on the other hand, are well satisfied with himself. He boasts of the showing he has made against other Negro pugs. Paulino points with pride at the victory over Harry Wills, the Brown Panther.
A crowd in excess of 30,000 people promises to be on hand when the two big fellows grasp mitts in the squared circle on the twenty-eighth. Advance indications point to the probability of there being over 12,000 Islanders in the audience.

The first inter-racial basketball game of the season will be a feature of the Community Athletic Associations Leap Year Carnival, which is to be sponsored by the Community Girls Club, Wednesday, February 29, at Lnicolin Colonade.
The speedy Warwick Collegians, the city's leading white senior quint, a traditional, and one of the most feared rivals of the championship Anacostia Eagle machine, will meet the Community Yellowjackets in one of the two basketball games which will be served as part of the quadrennial entertainment. The white boys have established quite an enviable record so far this season. They boast of a victory over the Eagles at the close of last season, only to be twice defeated later by scant margins.

Big Five featuring Misses Anita Gant, Nettie Nelson, Billie Vaughn, Olga Milton, Libbie Frazier and Arline Johnson of the Community Girls, and a host of other pretty performers, will meet a sturdy opponent.
The Yellowjackets and Collegians were booked for an engagement last year, but due to discontinuance of Sunday basketball at the Colonnade the game was cancelled. A large number of fans were turned away from the door when Colonnade officials advised that the Sabbath attractions would have to be abolished.
The preliminary game is carded to get under way at 8 o'clock sharp.
MOREHOUSE DEFEATS HAMPTON BY CLOSE SCORE
By James B. Clarke
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.,
Feb. 18.—In a game that was nip
and tuck from start to finish, More-
house College defeated the Blue
and White five of Hampton Ini-
tute by a score of 12-11 in the
Hampton Institute gymnasium.
BOTH SEEKING REVENGE ELKS AND COMMUNITY CLASH TONIGHT
Ladees and gent'men, we have with us tonight—one battle-royal. The scene will be laid at the Lincoln Colonnade. The combatants will be the strong and well known Washington Elks and the young and fast Community Yellowjackets. The time is set at 9:45. Before going any farther, folks, suppose we take a glimpse at what appears to be the most probable line-up. Here goes:
Elks Community
Suter.lf ..... L.F. ..... Givens
Berry ..... R.F. ..... Lacy
Thomas ..... Center. ..... Turner
Hope ..... L.G. ..... Gray
Jackson ..... R.G. ..... Johnson
Now, let's see what it's all about. The Elk team, representative of the Columbia Lodge, I.B.P. O.E.W. and the Yellowjackets from the Community Athletic Association have an old score to settle.
The antlered clan is still smart-
ting from the sting of defeat it
experienced in its meetings last
season with the young upstarts—
and folks, believe me what hurt
the older fellows most was that it
was twice in the same place.
Last year you know the Purple
and White players were represent-
ing the Alco A. C. At the close
of the campaign they signed to
play the speedy kids who styled
themselves amateur champions.
These kids were glad to have been
recognized, and in their zealous de-
sire to gain a reputation walked
off with two straight decisive victories.
Judge Smith and his bunch of
warriors were surprised and sore,
and until tonight's clash brings
them back face to face with the
foe, the Purple and White bosses
have been harboring a thirst for
revenge.
With such an array of talent as is presented by a combination of Archie Berry, Slim Thomas, Willie Hope, Tommy Jackson, Joe Suter, Andy Washington, Dick Graves, El.Gibson and Van Harris, it looks very much like the hopes of the Elks is to be realized. The Orange and Black quint, on the other hand, also has a wound to heal. The Elks grabbed Slim Thomas from the 1923 Yellowjacket machine, and by so doing took one of the youngsters' most valuable men. This has not been forgotten and when the two teams take the floor tonight the rivalry will be at its keenest pitch.
HOWARD SUBDUED BY MORGAN ATTACK
BALTIMORE, Md.-A crowd of nearly 3,000 persons journeyed to Richmond Market Armory here last Monday night and witnessed a neat 40-27 lacing handed Coach Johnnie Burr's Howard Bisons by the Morgan College Bears. Passing with uncanny accuracy and shooting from every conceivable position and angle the Orange and Blue team emerged the victor in this "vengeance battle" with little effort. Carpenter showed best for the visiting clan while all of the local line-up gave an exceptional account of themselves.

RIES SLATED FOR WEDNES
DAY ON DUNBAR COURT
The second game of the Dunbar Armstrong championship series will take place in the Dunbar gym next Wednesday afternoon.
In the opening clash the Miller coached Armstrong machine walked off with an easy 22-8 verdict. The game was decided in the second half when the Tech first team went far into the van and then withdrew in favor of the second, third and fourth teams and subs.
Over in the Dunbar gym, Wednesday, however, the Poets promise to give the Techites something to think about. Coach Perkins is confident that his lads will account for themselves creditably.
Harold Mayers, brilliant guard of the Renaissance basketball team of New York, has the unique record of holding forwards on three white professional teams of New York scoreless. Nat Holman of the Celtics was one of the victims.
NOTED BISON MENTOR MAY NOT BE AT HOWARD NEXT SEASON
By Samuel H. Lacy (Waubington Tribune)
(Washington Tribune)
Unless definite steps are taken very soon to acquaint Louis L. Watson, with the intention of Howard University authorities in regard to his retention as head coach of football, it begins to look very much like Mr. Watson will not be a member of the faculty when the next fall quarter begins. The university has failed, thus far, to tender Mr. Watson a contract for his retention as football coach, and indications are that no contract will be passed until late spring or early summer, if at all. Meanwhile, Mr. Watson has made it known that he is reluctant about waiting.
A contract calling for the employment of Coach Watson for a term of three years at a small increase in salary was approved some time ago by the Board of Athletic Control. For some reason or other, however, the contract has not yet been handed Coach Watson for his signature.
Contract Awaits Trustee Approval
Asked for a reason for this slow action on the part of the university, Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, told a Washington Tribune reporter that the contract could not be turned over to Mr. Watson without the approval of the board of trustees. This board, Dr. Davis said, does not meet until the close of the present school year, which is the latter part of May or early June.
While this, it is said, is the regular routine for business of this nature, it is presumed that the approval of the board of trustees is merely a matter of form. Once a recommendation of the Board of Athletic Control is approved by the executive committee, composed of three faculty members, three alumni, three students, the Secretary-Treasurer, and the Director of Physical Education, it seldom, if ever, meets with refusal from the trustee board. This executive committee meets several times monthly and, prior to the present administration, it had been the custom to consider recommendations soon after they reached the committee. After such consideration the coach was advised whether the recommendation had met with their approval or not.
Prexy Not in Favor
It appears that Dr. Johnson frowns on a stipulation of a three-year contract to Mr. Watson, and because of this disfavor on the part of the president, it is believed the presentation of the pact to the Executive Committee for its consideration has been withheld by him.
The delay of waiting for the meeting of the Trustee Board is not exactly relished by Coach Watson. He feels that in the event the trustees, influenced or otherwise, find some excuse to turn down the contract, he will be forced to accept whatever is offered him at Howard, or leave his field of physical education for other employment.
Watson, Pessimistic
Coach Watson, when interviewed, was rather reticent about talking. When asked if he had accepted the football contract, his answer was, "No. None has been offered me." When advised that it was understood that the Board of Athletic Control had offered him a three-year contract, Mr. Watson admitted that while the board did take such a vote, such action is only a recommendation to the Trustee Board through the administration.
When asked if the administration had ever over-ruled the Athletic Board in matters of this kind, Coach Watson said, "No. In 1924 the Board of Athletic Control selected a coach and voted him a one-year contract at a stipulated salary. The recommendation was approved. The Athletic Board decided to employ another coach at the end of salary stipulated. This recommencement for a three-year contract with salary stipulated. This recommendation was also approved."
The reporter then inquired what the attitude of the president was, and Mr. Watson said that, in a consultation with the president, he learned that the executive did not look with favor on the contract as offered, by the Board of Athletic Control. "He told me," Mr. Watson said, "that it was his plan to recommend me for reappointment next year, but at the time he was not in favor of a three-year contract.
Will Not Accept for 1 Year
Asked if such an agreement as the president favors would be satisfactory to him, Coach Watson replied with an emphatic "No."
"Then" the reporter asked, "you will not be at Howard next year?" Coach Watson's only answer was, "It looks that way."
When asked if he had decided what he would do next year in case he was not retained at Howard, Coach Watson declared he would naturally accept the best offer he got.
Mr. Watson has been head coach of football four years of the five he has been employed at Howard. He was appointed Director of Physical Education in January of 1923. He coached that fall, but the following year he turned the coaching duties over to Dr. W. E. Morrison, former Howard mentor, now athletic director at Lincoln University.
Watson Term Ended Last Fall Dissatisfied with the methods employed by "Doc". Morrison, the university authorities released the dentist and tendered Mr. Watson a three-year contract. This contract
ST, C. BEATS VANDALS IN COURT LEAGUE
NEW YORK—The fast St. Christopher basketball team defeated the Atlantic City Vandals in the Valentine Day battle here by the score of 36-34. The game was an Eastern League affair and was decided in an extra 5-minute period.
Seay and White stood out for the locals while the exceptional floor work of Baskerville and the uncanny shooting of Knox were the high lights in the Atlantic City team's play.
Though an all day rain kept some of the crowd away, there was a goodly crowd of rabid fans who turned out regardless.
In the preliminary game the Gibraltar Girls ran rough-shod over the Tattler Lassies to the tune of 33 to 16.

CHANNEL SWIMMER ASPI
RANT MAKES APPEAL
FOR FUNDS
Pauline Jackson, of 580 St. Nicholas avenue, Apartment 3-E, New York, N.Y., has appealed to the Negro press for suggestions for the holding of benefits to aid her in getting funds to swim the English Channel. Her good showing in the Wrigley's Marathon Race at Toronto, Canada, has gained her national recognition. Her appeal follows:
"I would like to try the English Channel in August. This of course takes money.
"I have had a great deal of publicity since swimming in the Wrigley's Marathon Race at Toronto, Canada. I did not win, but did eleven miles in six and one half hours, which gave me recognition.
"Mille Cade Carson, only mother to swim the channel and Ethel Hertle, who won championship for women's endurance, have started an association, (International Professional Swimmers' Association Inc.) and they have made me a member, I, being the only colored member so far.
"I have worked hard to gain recognition, in fact to make a mark for our future boys and girls. They have treated me royally.
"Since no Negro has ever attempted the channel, I would like to do so in August, which means that I will have to have funds. I have a number of letters from white trainers, but I prefer a colored man whose name is Professor D. E. Washington. He has trained quite a number of white athletes. His fee will be around one thousand dollars, not counting the general expenses, going to Europe, boats, equipments, etc.
"I am writing to ask you if you will co-operate with me in trying to raise funds. What is the best way in your town to give benefits?" expired at the end of the 1927 season. While Mr. Watson's position as head of the Department of Physical Education is not jeopardized by the action of the authorities, failure to retain him as football coach will mean a 'cut' in salary. This, it is believed, would be very distasteful to Coach Watson.
Lookin' Thru Our Files
These excerpts taken from the sport pages of the Tribune of past years:
5 Years Ago
In last week's Pittsburgh Courier William C. Matthews, former Harvard star athlete, picked an All-American football team of former colored stars of Northern colleges. Coaches Morrison and Trigg of Howard are named. Gray and Marshall, two other selections, are also well known in local circles.
Armstrong High added two more victories to its already long string. Baltimore High and Fairmont, W. Va. High were the latest victims.
Much credit to Coach Westmoreland. No local basketball lover should let the basketball season close without seeing the Orange and Blue boys in action.
A strong Alpha Phi Alpha lightning five basketball team including such luminaries as Dash of the famous Fish and Dash combination, Marc Wheatland, ex-Lincoln center, Cliff Clarkson and Ed Lowery, All-City guard and forward, and Wright, went down to an unexpected defeat at the hands of the scrappy Armstrong Tech quint on Lincoln's birthday. The score was 47-37.
The twelfth annual meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held March 10 at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. Howard was represented.
Duvall Evans, graduate of Lincoln University and the Springfield College Y. M. C. A. will assume the duties of instructor in Physical Education at Dunbar High School, beginning March 1. Mr. Evans comes from the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute where he has been assigned as athletic director. He is fomerly and all-round athlete.
4 Years. Ago
The Community A. C. team, a young aggregation composed of Paul Lee, Ambrose Frazier, Tom Neal, George Marshall, William Gray, Lemuel Johnson, Joseph Walker, Herman Givens, and Walter Johnson, under the leadership of Sam Lacy, Armstrong senior are performing creditably in the Y. M. C. A. league and younger circles.
Dan Brown, Jack Coles and Ed Ross are among 18 football players who were honored at the Virginia Normal and Industrial School annual "Letter Day Banquet," held in the school chapel last Tuesday. They were given monogramed blankets, symbolic of two years of vursity play, and Ross was elected captain for the ensuing year.
3 Years Ago
The Alco and Omega teams will clash Saturday afternoon at Murray's Casino. This game should be a hummer.
Much credit for the Alco performances this year must go to Coach "Judge" Smith.
Physical Director Tulley E. Simmons has two basketball leagues going big at the Y. M. C. A.
A group of former Howard players will clash with the varsity next month. Huddy Oliver will appear with the old-timers.
The Omega Psi Phi quintet won the Howard fraternity championship with a clean slate of 4 victories and no defeats. Phi Bet Sigma fell before Omega in the final clash, 27-26. It was the best game of the series.
Commissioner Landis saw War
field, star second sacker of the
Hildales, clout a homer in Cuba
recently. It was not quoted whet-
her the Judge made any comparisons between Warfield and Hornsby, or not.
West Virginia Collegiate Institute's Yellowjackets rallied and defeated Howard, 40-33, at Institute last Saturday.

In the second game, Titan B of Orange out-shot Forty Club Atlantic City to win 29-21. Younger players from the seas city could not stop Fields at foward for Titans, who scored five times from the floor. Forty Club started off at a swift pace and es tablished an early lead of five points which they maintained until the end of the first half when Titan increased their pace to take the advantage. These two vicotries bring Titan and Trenton "Y" together in the semi-final round next Saturday.
TALLADEGA-TUSKEE SPLIT
Talladega's Crimson Tornados and Tuskegee's Tigers split even in two of the most exciting cage games of the season. The Tornados taking the first game by the close score of 29-27, the Tigers coming back in the game Saturday with a victory of 29-23.

SWER TO “BEAU GESTE”
AT THE REPUBLIC
“Beau Sabreur,” the flaming an-
wer to “Beau Geste” will be the
feature attraction at the Republic
Theatre from Sunday to Friday,
inclusive, February 26, 27, 28, and
29 and March, 1, and 2, Follow-
ing the same daring adventures of
the French Foreign Legion through
another lavish glamyrous romance,
“Beau Sabreur” is the thrill of the
year. Gary Cooper, Evelyn Brent,
Noah Beery and William Powell
portray the principal roles in this
great drama. With a cast of such
sterling quality, unusual direction
and more unusual photography,
“Beau Sabreur” is a companion
pisture of even greater magnitude
than “Beau Geste.” Intrigue, love
and adventures on the vast Sa-
hara desert offer something spee-
tacularly and refreshingly attrac-
tive in the line of motion picture
entertainment. The battle scenes
in which a horde of Touaregs, the
desert wolves, sweep down on a
little oasis and meet up with sev-
eral dynamite mines planted in
the sands, present some of the
most amazing sequences ever put
on a screen. “Beau Sabreur” is a
pieture you'll like. It has every-
production. It has a marvelous
thing that goes to make a great
‘east, thrills galore, heart interest
and a romance that is hard to
equal. “Beau Sabreur” is a Super
Special picture.

PRIZE RING AND WAR IN
POPULAR STAR'S NEW
FILM
An elevated train rumbling over
head. Smoke issuing from five
thousand cigarettes. A_ blatant
mob howling within the East Side
Boxing Arena, Pre-Volsteadian
saloons. Here is a word picture of
thy opening scenes of “The Patent
Leather Kid,” the big First Nation-
al special starring Richard Barthel-
mess, coming to the Lincoln The-
tre.
/_; Then follow scenes of a French
village.
Although the “Patent Leather
Kid” is, strictly speaking, not a
War story, the war sequences have
been done in an epic manner and
are to the tanks corps what “The
Big Parade” was to the doughboys
and “What Price Glory” was. to
the Marines. The story revolves
around the Patent Leather Kid, a
prize fighter, who was the biggest
drawing card of*his day because
he was the most unpopular.
‘The Kid’s extraordinary charac-
ter, his refusal to don the uniform
of his country and his amazing
adventiire overseas; these consti-
tute the framework of the story.
Molly O'Day, sensational screen
find, plays the feminine lead op-
posite Richard Barthelmess.
JOHN GILBERT IN “MAN, WOM-
AND SIN” AT THE LIN-
COLN THEATRE NEXT
WEEK
For the first four days of the
coming week beginning with Sun-
day, February 26, and continuing
through until Wednesday night,
February 29, the screen attraction
ai the Lincoln Theatre will be
“Man, Woman and Sin,” starring
John Gilbert. The background for
this ultra-modern romance wa:
laid in Washington, and is a pic-
ture that astounds and grips with
its fascinating disclosures. It’s the
greatest story of the fourth estate
that has yet come to the screen.
The scenes are laid in the na-
tion’s capital against a backgroun¢
of intrigue and politics, Figures
of national and international im-
port take part in it. Its feature
is the Embassy Ball, the most im-
portant event that takes place on
United States soil.
Jeanne Eagles, famous star_o!
the phenominal’ success, Rain,”
appears as a fascinating’ lady of
mystery and charm, society editor
of u great daily, mistress of its
powerful owner and beloved of
young reporter. Gilbert as the
Teporter who goes through a soul-
searing experience, has one of the
most tensely appealing roles of
his career. Monta Bell himself a
newspaperman, wrote and directed
the filfn, laying its scenes in_ the
local room in which he familiarized
himself with the newspaper world
Included in the cast are Gladys
Brockwell, Marc McDermott, Cosmo
Kyrle_ Bellew, Hayden Stevenson
and Charles K. French.
‘Owing to the thousand of re-
quests that have been received by
the management since the initial
showing of “Sorrell and Son” over
‘a month ago, the management feels
as though it would be justified in
bringing back this great story of
the love of a father and his son,

to see it might be able to witnes*

Billy Kersands, was the world’s
greatest and most widely known
colored minstrel man. His neat
soft shoe dancing and his big
mouth,. in which he could hold s
saucer entirely ‘énclosed, made him
famous. * * .
Williams and Walker—Bert and
George. Bert: Williams was the
greatest cata Fal thoes, ant
his memory will live forever. As
there were many talking machine
‘records made by him, you might
ye: hear his wit and humor. George
Walker was the fashion plate and
matinee idol and shrewd business
man. It was he who made the
name of Willisms and Walker fa-
mous. i
‘Ernest Hogan gained fame over
night by writing, “Alb Coons Look
Alike to Me.” This song was a
national hit. I remember when |
was traveling with the original
“Nashville Students,” way back in
1899, when we were playing all one
night eine? ‘time I would
pass a little white child, it would
start singing, “All Coons Look
Alike to Me,” apd those who could
not sing would whistle it. Hogar

when he jheaddined in vaudeville
he sang “Emancipation Day,” an¢
when he finished the song, instea¢
of dancing the chorus, he panto-
mined it so real that. you could just
imagine you were looking at ar
emancipation parade.
Cole and Johnson, the original
Bob and Billy, of the old “Trip tc
Coontown’ fame, were among the
first to produce a colored musica
comedy. They were good song
writers also. Billy Johnson died
Bob Cole was smart in joining
hands’ with J. Rosmond Johnson,
and still retained the name anc

proved a wonderful foil for Bob
las he was a finished musician and
wrote many songs, some of which
will live forever. These two, Ros-
mond and Cole, starred in '“Sho
Fly Regiment” and “Red Moon.’
Both shows were hits.
Smart and Williams — Walter
and Soe were stars in the
original “Isham Octoroons,” and
were song writers also . The most
popular songs they wrote were “No
Coon can Come too Black for Me,"
and “I guess that will Hold You
for Awhile.” Both of these songs
were hits. Walter Smart was the
neatest and best straight man we
have ever had.. George Williams
was witty and funny and was the
first comedian playing the leading
role without. using cork,
All of the above named artists
were stars, and each had his own
peculiarity. Above all things
else, each was original, each
in his own line. You did not

actors. If time and space would

years have conquered a repertory
that disclosed a rich, beautiful
voice, much of that instinctive feel-
ing for music that belongs to the
artists of song, and a purity of
intonation and ease of voice that
bespeaks excellent guidance.
This singer together with a
charming personality, beauty of
face, lithe form and vivacious at-
mosphere, possesses marked in-
terpretative powers, giving vent to
the mood of each number with
graceful expression but withal her
winsome smile was a telling fac-
tor. We rather like her in every
way because she does that expected
of the artist-singer, satisfies the
musical taste in both the aesthetic
and intellectual senses, with a per-
sonality that is both pleasing and
attractive.

Late yesterday hospital physicians stated that Mrs. Chandler was not in danger of death.

Meanwhile local police until late last night had failed in their efforts to apprehend Chandler.

Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins represented the grand lodge while Attorney A. L. Sinclair (white) represented Henry Scott, et al.
The suit involved real estate owned by the lodge. When the real estate was purchased the lodge borrowed $7,000 for which it gave promissory notes payable in three years. When the lodge attempted to refinance the property, the present litigation developed.
The court in dismissing the case said "the bill fails to show any indebtedness due to plaintiffs from the lodge such as would entitle them to present relief."
OFFICER GARRY ON RAMPAGE THRU N. E.
(Continued from page 1)
ued on his westward journey through Bennings road, Garry drove up alongside him and ordered him to stop. Mr. Sandeford did so. Garry then, according to the story, approached the car, unbuckled his gun holster, ripped out an oath and asked who the Negro thought he was talking to.
Mr. Sanderson objected to the way the officer had addressed him, and reminded Garry of his wife's presence. An argument ensued and in it, Mr. Sanderson declares he came in for much abuse and verbal threats. The ultimate result was the arrest of Mr. Sanderson. Instead of the usual procedure, following the arrest of a motorist, of allowing the driver to operate his car to the station house, Garry ordered Mr. Sanderson to wait at the police booth at the cast end of the Bennings Acqueduct until the eleventh precinct patrol arrived from Anacostia. He was taken in the wagon to the station, which compelled Mrs. Sanderson and her friend to sit in the cold and darkness, until her brother-in-law arrived in a taxicab and drove the car into town.
Arraigned in police court Monday, Mr. Sanderson was released on his personal bond. He was charged with exceeding the speed limit, for lack of any other charge. Garry is the same policeman who it is declared on March 22, 1927, entered Linden court, northeast, in civilian clothes and in a drunken frenzy brutally beat Mrs. Josephine White, 1309 Linden court and her 15-months' old baby. He was, for that charge, forced to face a police court hearing from which he was acquitted. Later he faced a trial before the Police Trial Board, and escaped with a $75 fine for being drunk. The alleged assault charge was ignored.
Since his transfer and promotion Garry has gradually worked up such deep-rooted antipathy among Negroes with whom he comes in contact as to make his presence in the region extremely obnoxious.

UTAH COURT UPHELD
The United States Supreme Court on Monday affirmed the decision of the Supreme Court of Utah in the case of the Bountiful Brick Company and the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company against Elizabeth W. Giles, in which Charles H. Houston was of counsel for the defendant in error.
The case arose out of an award of $8.65 a week for 312 weeks to the widow and two children of Nephil Giles by the Industrial Commission of Utah. Giles was killed by a train while crossing a track to enter the brick plant at which he was employed.
This award was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Utah. The brick company and the Fidelity and Guaranty Company appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
On Appeal, Samuel B. Horovitz of the Boston Legal Aid Society was retained as attorney for the defendants in error. Mr. Horovitz and Mr. Houston were classmates in the law school at Harvard University. Mr. Horovitz got Mr. Houston to assist him in the preparation of the case for defense in the Supreme Court.
The Harry T. Burleigh Singers, Inc., visited the White House, Saturday, February 18, headed by Miss Virginia Williams, director, and accompanied by Mrs. Coralie F.

These same singers greeted Lindbergh on his return from his non-stop flight across the Atlantic. Photos of the group were taken by Scurlock.
The singers have arranged for an engagement at the Playhouse for a date in March, and they will also sing at the dedication exercises of the Francis Junior High School, March 20.
