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.

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.

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. Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY ner Sl ION BILL LARGE ITEMS ORED SCHOOLS ON BILL LARGE ITEMS RED SCHOOLS 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. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. 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.

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) THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1928 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. The movement stresses the fact that more than ever before the woman must be "fine" in whatever capacity she is working. 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. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.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.

S WIFE AFTER NG TO GIVE TREATMENT" 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 EXECUTIVE COMM.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE 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.

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 been the enlargement of our com- merce under the direction of a de- partment of the cabinet, assigned to that duty. In connection with THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. ~>™mAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1928 Needle Points sible, to get ONE bill through the House for the relief of the Negro. Strange, how the lawmakers on “the hill” treat us, especially when the Negro will WORK and the Indian will NOT. A number of Arkansas educa- tors visited Tuskegee Institute last month and studied conditions there. So pleased were they with Tuske- gee, that they expressed their in- tention of building this same type ef school at Pine Bluff. But money, resources and determina- tion added, without a Booker T. Washington will not build an insti- tution LIKE Tuskegee. “The Chicago Whip” critises ‘Harry T. Burleigh for broadcast- ing NEGRO spirituals over the ra- dio. ‘The “Whip” writer says that Burleigh should sing “sterner stuff.” What does he mean by “sterner stuff?” Hope he does not mean merely “white” stuff. 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- ing “impudent” students. Right or wrong, it is slightly encouraging that our students can THINK in- dependently of their superiors; and thinking, can ACT. The police of Lafayette, Louis- iana, are arresting Negroes who are found to be out of work, and then “renting them out” to white farmers at thirty cents a day. Yes, this WOULD be “involuntary servitude” IF it were not that the servitude is in “punishment for crime.” The crime in this case, seemingly, is that of being a Ne- gro in Louisiana. Dr, L. K.

Just how far we have gone and just what volume of business we handle, have not been fully determined. 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- ing power and how much of it can be guided and controlled by our Na- tional Negro Business League and by our newspapers, are also mat- ters upon which there are no ac- curate data. J, A, Jackson, while traveling over the United States, has not on- ly made himself a national figure, but he has made the resourees and distribution of the race a matter of study and now finds himself the one man among us who is ready to enter the new field created by the expansion of the Department of Commerce and our own place in do- mestic trade. ‘That new foreign offices of the Department of Commerce are to be opened at points in Central and South America and West Africa, suggests the striking of another hour calling for the man or men qualified to enter the doors of op- portunity being constantly opened in this progressive age and nation, We make the same surzestive ctitieism here that was made in these columns some Weeks ago anent the absence of the men in our col- lawns and Gabwureition who are pre- THE RIE Can the King do no Wrong? | “It is criticism that makes us cosmopolitan. . . .

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. Letter to the Editor SAYS NO HOWARD UNIVERS- 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.

The N2gro and the Next President 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 POETS’ CORNER (Writers of verse, serious cr light, may send to this column their “brain children.” If you commune with the poetical muse, send. in Dour ‘otetmal -vekeky By J.

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.

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 Py.” | Louis’ B.

So, while the crowd keeps grow- ing larger and cur race still in- ploringly beckons to us—must we still stand back and grow weaker in strength of will?

T don’t care for poets who praise themselves and tell of the virtues in which they excel, a man like this I call not a poet, but simply writer who to himself is devoted.

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. * Personal Service The personal element is equally important in the conduct of a funeral, as proficiency in technical re- quirements, Tact and sympathetic understanding must go hand in hand:with professional skill.

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.

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 I am willing to be convinced without obligation on my part. Please send me a trial size of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower absolutely FREE and tell me how to use it. Name .....

Dr. Graham was recently ousted by court order from the pastorate of court order from the pastorate of tored the church for twenty-seven years. he Talk Su f Town The Editor WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SCHOOL LESSON By Rev. Chas. B. Harris, B.D. 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 SUCCESS The union revival which has been going jointly among the Baptist and Methodist churches of Arlington County, Va., came to a successfull close on last Friday night. The revival began on January first and rotated among the churches of the county. More than one hundred and fifty persons were converted or reclaimed. NOTED WOMAN PREACHER AT ZION Mrs. Cornelius Maxey, a noted evangelist of this city, is conducting a very successful revival at the Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood, D.C. The revival began on Sunday, February 12 and will run through Friday, February 24, with preaching by Mrs. Maxey each evening at eight o'clock. Special services were held at the church last Sunday afternoon with Rev. H. J. Booker preaching and his eleven year old son furnishing the music. Rev. L. S. Wormley is pastor of the church. DIVINITY STUDENTS RENDER PROGRAM Students of the School of Religion of Howard University gave a very impressive sacred program at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. on Wednesday evening, February 15. These students have rendered such programs as well as conducted regular church services at several churches of the city. They are open to such engagements, which may be made through communicating with Dean Pratt of the School of Religion. REV. CUNNINGHAM PREACHES AT WARRENTON, VA. In the absence of the pastor Rev. Charles P. Harris, of the First Baptist Church, Warrenton, Va., Rev. John Cunningham of Washington preached at both services on last Sunday. The pastor will return to his pulpit the coming Sunday. The vested choir will render special music. JOHN WESLEY CHURCH TO HEAR NOTED VOCALIST SUNDAY Mrs. Ida Morton, Mrs. Mary Stanback, Mrs. Louise Johnson, Miss Dorothy Washington, Miss Josie B. Smith and John Royster were received for membership at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, northwest, last Sunday. A special feature of the evening service Sunday will be the presence of Mrs. Shirley Graham McCanns, a noted vocalist and chorus director of Portland, Oregon, who will give "The Spiritual Message in Negro Music" at that hour. Among other engagements in this city Mrs. McCanns has appeared at Vermont Avenue Christian Church, January 15 and upon her renditions the local press gave complimentary comments the following day. the pastor, Dr. H. T. Medford, will preach at the morning service. Church school meets at 9:30 a.m. C. E. Society at 6:30 p.m. SINGING EAVNGELIST AT FLORIDA AVENUE CHURCH Miss Nannie Quarels, a gifted gospel singer of the Bethany Baptist church of Newark, N.J., has been leading in a series of special song services at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church during the present week. Miss Quarels sang before the Baptist Ministers' Conference on Monday. She is open for engagements and may be reached through Rev. W. A. Taylor. 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. NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COM MITTEE HOLDS MEETING The executive committee of the National Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance of America, held a meeting here Wednesday, and completed its work preparatory to the convening of the annual session, which will be held March 27-30, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, this city.

Grant, D.D., of Jacksonville, Florida, second vice-president of the alliance, to fill the place made vacant by the death the Bishop I. N. Ross.

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 FIELD MISSIONARY OF MT. BETHEL BAPTIST ASSOCIATION Rev. J. N. Beaman, B.Th., was elected as a field missionary for the District of Columbia, at the regular session of the executive board meeting of the Mt. Bethel Baptist Association on February 15, with Rev. Dr. Flex. Wilbanks, moderator, and Rev. J. E. Ennis, secretary. Rev. Beaman is a graduate of the School of Theology at Howard University, and he formerly pastored the Union Baptist Church, Vienna, Va. CONVENTION OFFICERS INSTALLED The officers of the Union Baptist Convention were installed with impressive ceremonies held at the Povidence Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, February 22. The Installation Sermon was preached by Dr. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist church. Dr. Aquila Sayles is the new president of the convention. FIVE 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. there smiling and If you break your log thank God that you did not break your neck. Gratitude is a virtue, ingratitude is a sin. Circumstances and conditions can always be worse. ions can always be "Oh! what peace we often for- feit, Oh! what needless pains we bear All because we do not carry, Everything to God in prayers The churches of Frederickskurst Va., are getting in shape for a big union revival which will begin here in the Shiloh Baptist Church (new site) Monday, March 5, and continue for three weeks. The weekly night services will be held at the Shiloh Baptist Church (new site) and all special meetings including the meeting for men, women, young people and children will be held in the afternoon on Sunday, time and dates to be given later, at the Shiloh Baptist Church (old site). Mid-day prayer service will be held each day of the week except Saturday, at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. This service will begin at 12 o'clock sharp and last for one hour. A week of union prayer services will precede this religious campaign with union prayer services two nights in each of the three local churches. The Rev. S. L.

Official President 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. FAMOUS LAST WORDS "Here comes Zig Johnson dribbling down the floor—watch me get in front of him."

DUNBAR-ARMSTRONG NIGHT SERIES Among the various titular series now attracting attention is the one involving the Night High School Championship. This series, the second of its kind will get under way Monday night at 9 o'clock in the Armstrong gym. The championship went to Armstrong last year when E. P. Westmoreland's night Techites took two of the three clashes from Coach T. O. Williams' Red and Black tossers. 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. BORDENTOWN BASKETERS BEFEAT COMMUNITY BORDENTOWN BASKETERS BEFEAT COMMUNITY In a close and hard fought game, the crack Bordentown Military Institute basketball team handed the Community A. C. quint its second setback of the season, 33-28 on the Y. M. C. A. court last Friday night. 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. LeapYearCar Y.W.C.A. and 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. BROOKLAND GIANTS ORGANIZE The Brookland Giants baseball team its initial meeting of the 1928 season, Tuesday night. Manager John Washington announces that weekly meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 815 Michigan avenue, and asks that aspiring candidates attend. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

The Y. W. C. A. 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. Totals ...19212 Referee — Gibson. Umpire — Shields. COND TILT OF TITULAR SE 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.

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.

Balasco and Dick Hall, organists at the Republic. The atmospheric prologue will again precede every showing of “7th Heaven.” This also features the ‘song, “Diane” sung by Miss Rena ‘Mitchell. Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor are the principals. LILLIAN WESTMORELAND AND ROSCOE MONTELLO IN “DIXIE” AT THE HOWARD THEATRE NEXT WEEK At the Howard Theatre for the week beginning Monday, February 27, will be seen an entire new musi- “cal revue, “Dixie,” and as the name implies, the entire production is “woyen around the melodies from ‘the sunny South. »_ “Dixie” was produced by Max "Michaels, of. Columbia Burlesque fame, and has a large cast headed by the comedian, Rosece Montello, and Lillian Westmoreland. Among ,the other members of the cast will be seen Ernest Whitman, Julia Moody and the Lillian Yeun trio, consisting of Lilly, Perry and Brownie. The company carries with it a “wealth of scenery, costumes and “above all a big chorus of unusual “Dixie Beauties.” (On the screen for Monday, Tues- /day, Wednesday will be seen the handsome Ben Lyon in “For the ‘Love of Mike,” supported | by George Sidney, Ford Sterling, -Claudett Colbert and Hugh Cam- -eron. Actual pictures of the Yale- ‘Harvard regetta at New London Jast spring forms one of the many high lights of the story. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen “The Clown,” featuring Johnny Walker, Dorothy Revier and William V. Mong. This is 2 vivid tale of life in the circus tent wherein a clown's _mask hides the deep anguish of a broken he: rt, and his many gay an- ties cover a’ bit of tragedy of his past life, On Friday night the regular mid. night ramble will be held beginning at 12:15 sharp, “BEAU SABREUR” THE AN- 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. “The Broken Mask” with Bar- bara Bedford and Cullen Landis ‘will be shown on Saturday, March 3 only. There will be three talent shows at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30. erin response to thousands of re- quests, a return engagement of “Seventh Heaven” will. start _on ‘Sunday, March 12, matinee prices will end at 6 p.m. instead of 6:30 his 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, so tat all those who were unable this heart gripping, soul inspiring, to see it might be able to witnes* this special on Thursday and Fri- day, March 1 and 2, during which time our regular prices will pre- tT THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1928 eee" LINCOM 1 Ne -2 Ee eet at 2 Sun., Mon., Tues. & Wed., Feb. 26-29 4-DAYS ONLY - 4 GUuen‘\, oT . on 0 ’ ee ee NESS: SN /~ Sees e a> Fan KZ SSS . 5 4 Be ag Ie | pi ‘.

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 was a great actor. I remember 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 fame already. made. Rosmon¢ 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 find» the sameness in these men that you find in the present-day actors. If time and space would allow me, I could go on saying good things about these men until T would fill this entire paper, say- ing what they have done to make it possible for the present-day ac- tor to accomplish something. 1 made it short, but wanted you to know what they stood for and why they stood out as nationally famous actors, not merely good col- ored actors.

Scott, et al, versus the SCURLOCK PHOTO MINGO SAUNDERS, Grand Master of the Masons, who guided the lodge through its recent fight, which resulted in a victory in the Court of Appeals. Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons. The bill was dismissed on the ground that it failed to show a cause of action against the defendant either at law or in equity. 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.
