G. O. P. CONVENTION DELEGATES TO BE SEGREGATED Wilson School Bldg. Used For Anti-Negro Meeting FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 37 G. O. Wilson ILLEGAL USE OF BLDG. PASSES UNPROTESTED Although Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, members of the Board of Education, were advised of the improper use of the Wilson Normal School for the holding of meetings to arouse race hatred through the advocacy of restrictive covenants, neither of them made any protest at the board meeting, Wednesday. The Columbia Heights Citizens' Association, of which Alton B. Carty, 1234 Harvard street, north, is the president, met at the Wilson Normal School, Tuesday night. At this meeting there was a lengthy discussion of ways and means of preventing colored persons from buying and living in homes in Columbia Heights. Nigger, Nigger, Nigger During the meeting the word "nigger" was frequently used. Speakers insisted that "niggers" might be morally and intellectually superior to whites of the neighborhood but nevertheless they were objectionable because they are a lower species of humanity and can never equal the whites. The question of publishing the names of those in the locality who had refused to sign restrictive covenants was argued. The radical element of the organization declared that such persons should be tarred and feathered. The more sober element insisted that publication of names would be bad strategy. They counseled a "Christian" approach to those property owners who had not signed restrictive covenants. The covenant which formed the basis of the Curtis case was cited as the best form to be used to exclude colored persons from owning or occupying property in Columbia Heights. Work Organized Each block in the Columbia Heights neighborhood has a captain and a corps of workers making efforts to secure the signature of the five per cent of property owners who have refused to sign restrictive covenants. In twenty-five blocks all property owners have signed these agreements except seventy. An agreement covering a block is not binding until every property owner in that block has signed the covenant. The Columbia Heights Citizens' Association meets on the second Wednesday night. in the auditorium of the Wilson Normal School. Both Dr. Johnson and the Rev. Bennett were told of the Tuesday night meeting before it was held. Neither of them took any action to stop it. At the board meeting Wednesday afternoon they were silent on this meeting. MAN FREED OF KILLING HIS WIFE A plea of self defense resulted in the acquittal of Curtis Johnson, who was charged with manslaughter for killing his common-law wife, Isamay Johnson, on October 9, 1927. A jury in criminal court No. 2 last Friday returned a verdict of not guilty. Justice Frederick L. Siddons presided over the trial. Johnson shot the woman four times with an army service pistol. The shooting occurred at No. 1425 Twenty-fourth street, northwest, where Johnson lived with the woman while he was on leave from Ft. Myer, Va., where he is stationed. He is enlisted in the United States Army. At the trial, two army officers, Colonel Guy V. Henry and Captain Houghton, from Ft. Myer, were character witnesses for Johnson. Attorney John H. Wilson, who defended Johnson, also proved by Policeman Pitman that Isamay Johnson had the reputation of being a dangerous woman. The defense claimed that Johnson shot when his common law wife advanced on him with a knife. Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1928 PROF.

Lovett, S2 Quincy street, northwest, for an absolute divorce. She names Sattie Harris, 1030 Euclid street, northwest, as correspondent. In her bill of complaint filed through Attorneys R. R. Horner, Mrs. Lovett charges that her husband began visiting the correspondent on January 26, 1926, at No. 948 R street, northwest. She also alleges that he visited the correspondent frequently at No. 815 T street, northwest, and at her present address, often remaining in her company all night. On the nights of December 10 and 17, last, Mrs. Lovett charges, her husband accompanied the correspondent to the Howard Theater and after the show went home with her and remained in her apartment all night. Love Nest Raided The police raided the love nest of Lovett and the correspondenent on January 1 last, Mrs. Lovett alleges, and found the two occupying a room together. They were charged with a statutory offense. They posted $25 each as collateral. This charge is still pending against them.

Davis, 43, of Lakewood, Md. was successful in his apparent attempt at suicide, Tuesday afternoon. Davis, employed as c. skilled laborer, working on one of the Government Printing Office cranes, is said to have been acting peculiarly for about a week. According to the story told police, he had been seen on numerous occasions, doing it past few days, loitering on the seventh floor. Printing Office officials declare that he had no business away from his department. Though fellow workmen believed him to have been slightly deranged, it is said, as Davis had not done anything violent or rash they had paid very little attention to him. It is rumored that marital strife had something to do with the act. At one time, during a quarrel between him and his wife, it is said, the latter threw an acidous substance on him. Choosing the busiest part of the afternoon while school crowds were traversing the streets and employees of the Printing Office were finishing up their day's work, Davis threw himself from one of the building's highest windows. Plunging downward, the man landed on the sidewalk directly in front of the south entrance to the building on G street. Dr. David P. Bush, Medical and Sanitary Officer, of the G. P. O. pronounced him dead a few minutes later. Coroner J. Ramsey Nevitt, notified at once, had Davis removed to the District Morgue. He indicated that Davis' death was a plain case of suicide and that no inquest would be held. MISS. INJ'NCTION BEING ARGUED JACKSON, Miss.—A motion to dissolve a temporary injunction restraining the republican state executive committee from holding conventions on grounds of irregularities is scheduled for hearing before Chancellor T. Price Dale in Hattiesburg on March 8. This temporary injunction was granted February 25 upon the motion of a group of "lily whites" headed by former Governor George L. Sheldon, of Nebraska, who is now a resident of this state. The defendants were given no notice of the court action. Chancellor Dale refused to modify the injunction to allow the holding of beat and county conventions on March 1 and 3 when Judge J. Morgan Stevens, and District Attorney J. H. Howie, of Jackson, and United States Attorney John H. Cook, of Clarksdale, representing the defendants, appeared before him. Bond of the complainant was raised from $1,000 t o $10,000 by agreement. The defendants filed their answer to the bill last Friday, denying the charges of the "lily whites." In their answer the defendants made the counter charge "that the real conspirators in this case are the complainants themselves, who pretend at present to be in sympathy with the tenets and doctrines of the Republican party and who have conspired together to obtain, if possible, control of the party machinery and to dominate and control state and county committees, of the republican party and (Continued on page 2) DUNBAR AND ARMSTRONG ARE TO REMAIN OUT OF ORATORICAL CONTEST REPRESENTATIVE FLAILS JOHNSON IN HOUSE The attention of the House of Representatives was directed by Representatives Makoln C. Tarver, Democrat, of Georgia, Wednesday, to a speech by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, advocating social equality and amalgamation of the white and colored races through intermarriage. After reading excerpts of Dr. Johnson's speech from the (Baltimore) Afro-American, Mr. Tarver said: "This damnable doctrine which I have read is that promulgated by the man'at the head of Howard University, to which a few days ago you appropriated the sum of $390,000. He is going around about the country spreading among the members of the Negro race, and, of course, among the students of Howard University, this rotten, indecent doctrine on marriage between the white and African races." Refer to Reed Bill The attention of the House was directed to the speech of Dr. Johnson, Mr. Tarver stated, because representatives will be called upon shortly to vote upon the Reed bill to authorize annual appropriations to Howard University. "I call attention to this fact," he said, "in order that every fair-minded man may study the situation and determine for himself whether or not he wants to vote i favor of a law legalizing appropriations to a university whose head is engaged in teaching among the members of the Negro race the damnable doctrine of social equality and intermarriage with the white people." Representative Tarver was one of three members of the House who signed a minority report on the Reed bill. The other two were Representatives B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, and Rene L. De Rouen, of Louisiana, both Democrats. JOHN H. WILSON TO SPEAK ON "CRIME AMONG NEGROES" JOHN H. WILSON TO SPEAK ON "CRIME AMONG NEGROES" Attorney John H.

G.) Walter L. Smith, principal of the Dunbar High School, and G. David Houston, principal of the Armstrong Technical High School, declined to enter their schools in the contest. An agreement was reached that the contest should be conducted under the plan of former years, but no relief was offered for the handicap of Dunbar and Armstrong in not receiving literature regarding the contest when other high schools did. The faculties of the Dunbar High and Armstrong Technical High Schools voted last week not to enter the contest when it was learned that their principals were not invited to attend a conference between Mr. Leigh and the principals of the five white high schools. INEFFICIENCY OF OFFICE DENIED BY FROE A statement issued Wednesday in behalf of Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, says: "The charge of the Bureau of Efficiency that Arthur G. Froe, the recorder of deeds, of the District of Columbia is inefficient is connected with an attempt to take this office away from Negroes. "About a year ago, the bureau made a detailed study of Mr. Froe's office, and recommended 22 changes. The recorder adopted and is now using all but four of these changes. Some changes he did not adopt because of their tremendous cost and lack of practical use; others he could not adopt without legislation by congress. One such recommendation calling for the installation of a card index system, would have doubled his force and entailed a cost of from $100,000 to $200,000. Other Recommendations Other Recommendations "The Bureau of Efficiency recommended that the recorder's office be placed under the district government, and that the employees be put under civil service, thus, making the recorder a subordinate of the district commissioners. Mr. Froe and other race leaders throughout the country opposed this move, because they knew from experience, it would mean that in time, the door of employment would be closed to Negroes. Few Negroes are holding clerical positions under the District Government, and nearly all members of the race who have had to run the gauntlet of the civil service, know that as a rule, the cards are stacked against colored persons who take examinations and qualify for civil service positions. Resents Froe's Action Rebuts Froe's Action "Resenting Mr. Froe's temerity in refusing to take orders from them, the Bureau of Efficiency requested Congressman Zihlman to reintroduce a similar bill in the present congress. Mr. Zihlman comes from a district in Maryland where the colored voters hold the balance of power, and he owes his election to them. The same strong opposition however, has arisen against the present attempt to take the recorder's office away from our group, and with a presidential election in the offing, it is quite likely that the Zihlman Bill will die in the committee. "Since his appointment by the late President Harding, Mr. Froe has kept on the job. Increasing of the employees' pay; providing them with better working conditions and hours; installing labor saving devices to more efficiently do the work; doubling of the office space and the number of employees (Continued on page 2) (Continued on page 2) ET, N.W. E SEGR egro M FIRST TIME OF PARTY TH QUARTERS A LATEST "MOVIE" DEVICE IS TO BE PUT IN REPUBLIC OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. TO BE Anti-Negr FIRST TIME IN HISTORY OF PARTY THAT SEPARATE QUARTERS ARE OFFERED The Republic Theatre will soon begin the installation of one of the latest accessories, to moving pictures programs, the vitaphone, according to an announcement made this week by Mr. Mackover, owner of the theatre. The vitaphone is the newest creation for picture houses and the Republic Theatre is the first house in the country catering to colored patrons to install it. In all there are not more than seventy picture houses in the country with such equipment. The vitaphone is an instrument through which science has succeeded in synchronizing motion pictures with reproduced sound with a degree of perfection never before attained. It comes to the public as a result of years of research by the Western Electric Company and the Bell Telephone Laboratories and the Vitaphone Corporation and Warner Brothers. Through the use of the instrument, the Republic Theatre will in the future be able to offer the public, both to see and to hear, the famous stars on the operatic, vaudeville, dramatic and musical comedy stage. Among those already scheduled for early appearance at the Republic are: Sissle and Blake, Mischa Elman, Al Johnson, Waring's Pennsylvanians, Mme. Schumann-Heink, Van and Schenck, Marion Talley, Ellise Janis, "Whispering" Jack Smith, Vincent Lopez and his orchestra and others. The first picture to use the new vitaphone at the Republic will be Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer." The audience will be able to see as well as hear this noted singer of the "blues." The opening date for this production will be announced soon. While Mr. Mackover did not give the exact amount the new equipment will cost, it was requoted that the cost will be well over $15,000. The Republic is one of the largest movie houses in the city. Activities preparatory to resumine work on the unfinished Masonic building at Tenth and U streets, northwest, were begun this week. Material to be used in the building is being hauled and a few workmen are on the job. Completion of the building is in charge of the G. G. Loehler Construction Company. The contract for the completion of the building has not yet been filed in the office of the recorder of deeds. Money with which to resume the work is believed to have been obtained from two trusts totaling $370,000, deeds for which were filed in the office of the recorder of deeds February 27. It is over four years since any work has been done on this building. Work on it was stopped in December, 1923, when the New Masonic Hall Corporation which undertook the erection of the building became involved in court proceedings brought by Dr. Elias G. Evans, Allan A. C. Griffith and Charles Datcher Lodge. J. C. BRUCE MADE N. A. A. C, P CHAIRMAN The executive committee of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. elected John C. Bruce chairman and vice-president at a meeting held March 3 at the office. Mr. Bruce succeeded L. M. Hershaw in both of these offices. Mr. Bruce is supervising our public school system. The March meeting of the branch will be held Wednesday evening. March 14 when definite announcement will be made of a meeting to be held in April and addressed by Clarence Darrow, the noted criminal lawyer. --- SOUTHERN WHITE STUDENTS HONOR CLOURED GIRL GREENSBORO, N. C.—At the Student Volunteer Convention held at Duke University, Durham, N. C., last week, a Negro girl was selected to the organization. This is the first time in the history of the Student Volunteer of North Carolina that a Negro woman has been thus honored. Miss Maggie Simpson was elected secretary of the colored group of the conference and later elected to the executive committee. Miss Simpson is a sophomore at Bennett College for Women and is a member of the Southern Student Council of the Y. W. C. A. The other representatives at the conference from Bennett College were Miss Nina Roberts, who is a graduate from Ohio University who represented the faculty, Miss Alma Farpley, Miss Nellie Artis, and Miss Barbara Johnson. ALEXANDRIA MAN WINS $10,000 DAMAGE SUIT A verdict of $10,000 damages was awarded William Ball, 1009 Wolfe street, Alexandria, Va., in the suit brought by him against the Western Marine and Salvage Company in Circuit Court, Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy presiding, Wednesday. The verdict was awarded Ball for personal injuries he sustained while in the employ of the company. According to the evidence introduced by the counsel of Ball, the latter received a broken arm and internal injuries on December 23, 1923, when he was struck by a piece of flying metal. He was working with the company at Virginia Shipyard, which is located in Alexandria, at the time obsolete government freight ships were being demolished. A missile struck Ball when an electro-magnetic crane released the heavy weight, used for the purpose of breaking scrap metal for shipment, while the man was in the vicinity of the machine. Ball, who at the time was rushed to the Alexandria Hospital, was given $1,954.69 as compensation, by the New Amsterdam Casualty Company which acted under the direction of the Industrial Commission of Virginia, an organization existing for the purpose of compensating working men under the "Virginia Workmen's Compensation Act." The company also paid a bill of $429 for medical attention tendered Ball, and $11 per month for 17 months. Ball was represented by Attorneys Simon, Koenigsberger, Young and Brez. JACKSON DIES IN MAY IF APPEAL FAILS The appeal of Philip Jackson, who is under sentence to die for a criminal assault on Mrs. Daisy Welling, white, in the Capitol grounds February 18, 1927, was argued in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia last Wednesday morning by Attorney John H. Wilson. Justice Adolph A. Hoehling erred in refusing to grant Jackson a lunacy hearing after evidence had been submitted showing that he was the offspring of a brother and sister and is of low mentality, Attorney Wilson contended. Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins argued that the appointment of a lunacy jury to inquire into the mental condition of Jackson was within the discretion of the court. Jackson will be electrocuted in May, if his appeal should fail. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1657. WORKERS START MASONIC BLDG. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS REGATED meeting IN HISTORY AT SEPARATE ARE OFFERED Acquiescing to local custom, the Republican party is making plans for the segregation of delegates at the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo. June 12. In a letter signed by Lafayette B. Gleason, of New York, secretary of the committee on arrangements for the national convention, members of the Republican national committee are being notified of hotel assignments for their state delegations. After telling the committeeman that rooms have been reserved for their state delegations, at certain hotels and that the management of the hotel will forward them contracts, Mr. Gleason adds that the local committee in Kansas City has charge of the assignment of rooms for Negro delegates. There are two first class hotels and a Young Men's Christian Association available for colored delegates, he advises. This is the first time in the history of the Republican party that colored delegates could not stop at the same hotel in which the white delegates from their state stop. Besides the "black and tan" delegations from southern states, there are always colored delegates from northern and western states. Whether or not colored persons will be permitted to visit in the white hotels has not yet been learned. PICK BI-RACIAL DELEGATION TO REP. CONVENTION PICK BI-RACIAL DELEGATION TO REP. CONVENTION ATLANTA, Ga., March 9—In a meeting significant for its harmony, the Republican state convention last Saturday selected a biracial delegation to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., June 12. The delegates from the state at large are Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican national committeeman of Georgia; Joseph H. Watson, of Albany; T. N. Hendricks, white, of Edison, and Fred H. Flanders, white, of Swainsboro. Mr. Hendricks is one of the wealthiest men in the state, being a banker, manufacturer and planter. Mr. Flanders has served several terms as sheriff of Emanuel County, having been elected on an independent ticket. The alternate delegates from the state at large are C. W. Piteck, white, of Moultrie, president of the Georgia Northern Railway; Sidney Anderson, white, an attorney, of Macon; Dr. Percival Harris a prominent drugstrict, of Athens, and Mrs. Sarah Watson King, daughter of Joseph H. Watson, of Albany, Ga. State Re-elects Davis The state convention also reelected Mr. Davis as the Georgia member of the Republican national committee for the next four years. Mrs. King was selected to succeed Mrs. George S. Williams, of Savannah. The following officers were elected to serve for the next two years: Roscoe Pickett, white, Jasper, chairman; Josiah T. Rose, white, Atlanta vice-chairman; B. J. Davis, secretary; John W. Martin, white, Atlanta, treasurer. Resolutions were adopted praising the achievements of the Coolidge administration. The delegates to the national convention were instructed to vote for the renomination of President Coolidge at any time his name is presented in the convention. In the event the name of the President should not come before the convention, the Georgia delegation was instructed to support Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce. Fully six hundred persons were in attendance, representing the best elements of both races. There were school teachers, large planters, bankers, and professional and business men. Harmony prevailed throughout (Continued on page 10) Liberal Progressive Independent THE RECORDER'S OFFICE One by one our political and economic posts are being invaded, attacked and taken. In the far south where it was a disgrace for a white man to drive a truck or to work on the highway or railroad, today, he may be seen quietly laboring at better wages than our men ever drew for the same tasks, working longer hours and under tyrannical bosses. Waiting, public and private; barbering, domestic service, laboring work, have been occupied first by foreign born whites and later by native born whites who have largely displaced the Negro. All that is necessary is that a given occupation be able to pay wages and then made to pay better wages by better management, or, that a given service may attract a profit on the investment, and, first it will be taken over by the whites; and later the Negro will be excluded, or employed solely for the irksome and 'poorly' paid phases of the work. Not satisfied with economic competition, the field of prestige has been invaded, for prestige may be made to mean immunities from certain payments, and it acts to inspire the people of lower groups to struggle to rise. One by one such posts, once held by Negroes under the principle that the racial group was entitled to representation in proportion to its numbers, have been taken from us under some pretext. The office of the Recorder of Deeds is the last executive, administrative position held by a member of our group, under the federal government. The office has grown to such proportions that it needs larger and more modern quarters. Under cover of improvement, it is proposed to change its administration; and to effect that, a basis of inefficiency was established on the part of the recorder who has seen fit not to use certain machines which were introduced to make cash register receipts. Two conditions arise from the propositions: the recorder of deeds is right in not changing an established and fixed custom of giving hand written receipts for payments for recording; the suggestion to change the control of the office of the recorder of deeds is from a federal to a District office is unwarranted at a time when the federal government is acquiring increasingly larger parcels of land in this restricted capital area. As we see it, machines have done enough to the land and to modern life, without completing the dominance of machine power in a situation where land records are concerned. Again it must be patent that the urge to change the control of the office of the recorder of deeds from federal to local, is so tardy in relation to the size of the interests to be protected, as either to arouse suspicion or to suggest that it is but a subterfuge to get one of our men out of the last federal post of any merit and prestige coming to us as American citizens. Either way we view it, the office of the recorder of deeds is liable to induce an unpleasant fight for those who disturb it, so close to a campaign for a federal election. POISE; POSTURE; PURPOSE Emerson wrote an essay on Compensation, which assures us of justice in the universe. "For everything you gain, you lose something," he said, and it becomes our duty to determine just what we shall aim to gain. In economic life, lilth threatens wealth; waste threatens production; loss threatens profit, and risk accompanies benefits. For the expenditure of time and effort in acquiring an education, our youth may receive results in poise, posture and purpose. The playful and easily interested child, the boisterous and boy, ought to become the upstanding, self-assured and targeted youth of our upper-classmen in high school, our forward-moving product of the higher institutions. When we find a graduate of four years of college experience so listless and self satisfied that he willingly takes a job which could be occupied better by an unutured man, we realize that he, the race and society have suffered a loss. It was our unpleasant experience, not long since, to meet the son of a minister, and a college graduate, serv- Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C. by THE WASHINGTON POST UNPUBLISHING COMPANY 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1657 entured as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of One Year, 1979.

ING as a chauffeur for a man engaged in the theatrical promotion—a man who was unable to understand the lack of poise, posture and purpose in an other man so favored by circumstance and training. In counting our gains and in measuring our racial progress, we do well to evaluate our losses registered in such careers as the one mentioned. Their name is legion. WHERE SEGREGATION LEADS That American citizens of color are not and can not be aroused to debate, consider, protest and fight segregation, suggests that they have not thought through the proposition. Certain outstanding consequences of the policy of presenting a solid white front of opposition to other races in certain civic, political and economic relations, may be listed. Here in America, the Indians were first shoved out or bought out or tricked out, and later killed out when they protested and organized for resistance. That Andrew Jackson overcame the Seminoles by violating a flag of truce is history. In Africa, the natives have been driven from desirable land, forced to work for prescribed wages, legislated off the streets and even forbidden to enter the post office buildings except through the back door. In China, the English have secured the most desirable sites for their own colonies in the land and then kept the natives out of these "concessions" by force of arms. If white men can and do force men of other skin colors to give up any territory or privileges which white men desire, there is nothing to prevent such white men from finally making it impossible for men of other colors to live on the earth. That seems far fetched, but it is being approached, and segregation is the method planned to accomplish it. More than twenty-five years ago, a southern sociological conference outlined the whole policy of segregation—civic, social, political and economic. The policy has been relentlessly carried out. Here in Washington, we have been forced out, or left out, of executive positions once held in the federal government, and kept out of positions of better pay and increased responsibility and control. For us there has been no gain to compensate for these losses—no positions have been recovered. In most cases it is silent but persistent war, but upon necessity it takes every form of oppression, with victory as the goal always. Last Tuesday night, a citizens' association meeting in the Wilson School at Eleventh and Harvard streets, considered, for more than an hour, plans by which colored families may be kept out of the Columbia Heights section. While admitting the intellectual and moral attainments of our race, the speakers were yet determined to refuse to live near us, and determined to have their children taught that colored people are never equal to white people. Once the segregationists succeed in making our own children believe that, their policy of segregation will work of itself, and the destiny of the race will be fixed in a peasant status. Even if we have become weary of the fight, we owe it to our children to keep open every door of opportunity and to strive to open those closed by our own complacency and feeling of inferiority. There must be no stopping in our fight—employing mind, money and the law—against the vicious and un-American policy of treating men according to the mere accident of skin color. The fact that court decisions have gone against us in fighting residence segregation, should show us that the judges interpret the law of citizenship to mean that public opinion makes the laws. But we can and must make public opinion. AUCTION SALE OF THE LANTERN PROTESTED An alleged misunderstanding on the part of Wayland L.

Douglass, local school teacher, to be upheld. Mr. Douglass took the bid from four rivals with an offer of $790. Mr. Rudd, through his attorney, J. Franklin Wilson, who was also one of the receivers, requested a resale of the property contending that he did not know that the purchase meant that the buyer was free from unsecured debts of $888 which the business had incurred. Attorney W. L. Houston, representing Mr. Douglass, maintained that inasmuch as the auctioner, representing the Thomas J. Owen Co., had made the terms clear, Mr. Rudd had no grounds for his complaint. Attorney Wilson declared that he would not accept the check of Mr. Douglass until he had sought the advice of Justice William Hitz, today. The auction sale was the manner in which the dissolution of a partnership between Mrs. Evelyn D. Douglass, wife of Mr. Douglass, and Wayland L. Rudd, former lessees of the L. Rudd, was effected. Mrs. Douglass and Mr. Rudd formed a partnership September 30, 1927. They began business October 21, 1927. Mrs. Douglass served notice of her withdrawal from the partnership on February 3, 1928, and filed suit through Attorneys Houston and Houston for dissolution, asking for the appointment of receivers to take charge of the business and wind up its affairs. Chief Justice Hitz, on February 13, 1928, appointed Attorneys W. L. Houston and J. Franklin Wilson receivers. A chattel mortgage of $575, held by Walter S. Carter, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, is to be paid by Mr. Douglass. TWO $200 AND 18 $100 DONATIONS REC'D BY Y.W. The campaign leaders of The Phyllis Wheatley W. W. C. A.

Henry THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1923 THE NEW PUBLIC FORUM OPENED The inauguration of a public forum at the Lincoln Colonnade, at four o'clock, Sunday afternoons, should serve to build a forceful and infroned public opinion in this community. The habit of assembling under orderly procedure and for the discussion of current issues, is at the basis of democracy. As a group shut out of legislative and deliberative bodies which directly enact the rules of the American game, we can do nothing less than establish a forum of our own into which we may invite those who may enlighten us and even differ from our personal and group positions. The public forum should take the place of cigar shop and barber shop discussions, thus releasing those agencies to the business for which they are established. If by chance, the habits of cigar and barber shops discussions are too deeply ingrained to be eradicated, the public forum will tend to focus the discussions of other places upon the topics of the forum. With the splendid band music, the new public forum emphasizes the idea that we can individually use our abilities under leadership and with occasional solos, exactly as the band produces its harmony. Inter-racial questions may be threshed out by men and women of both groups moved by a common desire to advance the best interests of the community, and the nation. The new public forum provides every serious minded, intelligent citizen with a place to go on Sunday afternoon. It is actuated by the effort to apply the principle of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, in a partnership. JOHN H, WILSON TO SPEAK ON CRIME JOHN H, WILSON TO SPEAK ON CRIME (Continued from page 1, col. 4) sational cases before the courts here. He will be remembered as the attorney who was appointed by the court to defend Jackson accused of criminal attack on a woman on the Capitol grounds last year. The case is still pending. Attorney Wilson has chosen as his subject, "Crime Among Negroes" and he promises to bring to the audience the wealth of his personal experiences in this field. Special music has been arranged for the meeting. PICK BI-RACIAL DELEGA TION TO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION (Continued from page 1) the meeting. There were only twelve contesting county delegations. These contests were quickly settled. Lily-Whites. Silenced Previous to the meeting Clark Grier, white, representing a small group of "illy-whitees," sought to obtain an injunction to prevent the holding of the meeting. He failed. He was advised by lawyers that neither the Federal nor state courts had jurisdiction to prevent the meeting. For the first time since there has been a Republican party in Georgia, there will be only one contest from this state to be settled at the national convention. That contest comes from the first congressional district. Two delegations were elected in that district. One faction elected Dr. B. W. S. Daniels as delegate and J. McGrath, white, as alternate. The other faction elected Professor William James as delegate and Mrs. Mamie M. Prings as alternate. It is possible that this contest will be settled before it is heard by the Republican national committee. At previous national conventions there have been contests from each of the twelve congressional districts and from the state at large. The putting down of factional differences in the state is regarded as a political achievement of Mr. Davis, who succeeded the late Henry Lincoln Johnson as national committeeman.

She had brown eyes, long black, curly hair and was ten years old. Her mother died when she was five years old. She lived with her father in a hut near the sea. One day as she was walking along the shore, she found a beautiful pebble that had been washed by the waves of the ocean. She picked it up and took it home. Her father was not at home so she put the pebble in a box and started setting the table for supper. Her father came in and said, After supper was over she said, "Here is something I found on the shore." "Let me see it," said her father. After looking at it he said, "It is a real pearl." "May I keep it?" asked Pearl. "Why surely. You found it. It's yours to do anything that you want to with it," answered her father. She loved this pearl and carried it around with her every place that she went. She carried it in a little bag around her neck. Every day she would go and sit on the beach and take out this pearl and gaze admiringly at it. She longed to go to school, but her father had not enough money to put her through school. She was so anxious to learn that she studied any books that she could get. One day while she was admiring her pearl a shadow fell over her lap. She looked up and held her pearl tight in her hand. She saw a rich merchant's daughter who said to her, "Let me see that pearl." "Oh, how pretty it is," she said as Pearl held it out for her to see. "Will you sell it to me?" She named a sum that made Pearl's eyes glisten. Pearl said, "I must ask father first." When her father came home from fishing she told him the story and asked, "May I sell it?" "Why surely you may," her fathe, replied, "It's yours." The next day the merchant's daughter visited Pearl and for a large sum of money, she bought the precious stone from Pearl. Pearl put her money away. Ten years have passed, and Pearl has graduated from college and found work. She secured a position in a rich lady's house as secretary. Pearl's greatest ambition was to help her father, so she saved her money to buy a home for him. She later secured a position in a bank, and after several years she had saved a sufficient amount to start paying on a small home. Her determination to study, to work, and to save, brought happiness to her father and to herself. (Learn a Verse) "Macbeth," Act V., scene V., by William Shakespeare.

Aim high and reach the goal—what goal? Any goal—every goal that means a golden tinted future for you. Our subject this week is Walter Jackson, who is successfully rehearsing a selected role in a forthcoming drama at the Dunbar High School. Jackson's role is that of the future child (to my judgment the future man). May he meet success in this attempt, and from what the writer knows of Walter's ability I can place him in the gallery with other Tribunites who are proving to be worth while. There are other Tribunites who I shall write of. Let them all be true to our motto: "Climb on, Tribunites, climb on!" Bear in mind that the true spirit of Tribunism means to pass things of interest that you know, on to other Tribunites that they too may learn them. CHRISPUS ATTUCKS Dear Editor: In keeping with the Tribunites' Pledge I am sending in a story of Chrispus Attucks, in order that the kiddies might become more familiar with this hero of our race. Since historians do not attempt to tell what part the Negro has played in American history I think it is up to us, as a race, to find out for ourselves,—don't you? When this country was in a revolution, fighting hard for a constitution: Chrispus Attucks laid down his life that we might live in peace—not strife. Guns were fired and men did fall, but Chrispus Attucks was the first of all; he shed the first blood in the American revolution so that all men might enjoy America—Freedom's institution. When the war was raging and, "to arms," was the call, Chrispus Attucks went on the field—not afraid to fall; he did not stop in the rear of the line, but he went to the front to serve mankind. Today in Boston, in a graveyard old, lies the body of this man of whom I've told; thanks to God, our Father on high, Chrispus Attucks, a Negro, was not afraid to die. Carry me to college, sir, To get a high degree; A very learned doctor In college I would be. They sent me home from college LEARN A VERSE Read the verses below, and fill in the blanks. The names of the poems from which the verses were taken, and the names of the authors are given elsewhere in this corner. It would be a good thing to learn the verses. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. And then is heard no more; it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound Signifying nothing— Poem ... Author ... The wages of Sin is death: if the wages of Virtue be dust, Would she have heart to endure for the life of the worm and the fly? She desires no isles of the blest, of the just Give her the wages of going on, and not to die— Poem ... Author ... A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pier- ian springs; There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain. And drinking largely sobers us again.

C. McNeill and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, two members of the board of education were present.

Smith, 450 Sixth street, northeast, was buried Thursday, March 1, in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Mrs. Smith, who was 36 years of age, died from appendicitis on Tuesday, February 28. Funeral services, the first to be conducted at the new perpetual care cemetery, were in charge of Undertaker Maggie Winslow. MANASSAS CHURCH SEGRE-MANASSAS, Va. — The Baptist Church of this city, a short distance from Washington, was the scene of a self-segregated concert on Monday, March 5. The occasion was a musical program, comprising largely Washington talent, among whom were the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church quartette and Mrs. Georgia Penn Reeves, well-known soprano. The church was crowded by the congregation and the large number of "white friends," who were in attendance; but it was this last circumstance that left a bad taste in the mouths of some of the Negroes present. It was not definitely disclosed, just who was responsible for the presence of so large a number of "white friends," or the novel seating arrangements, by which the Negroes were jim-crowed in their own church; but it is certain that the ushers saw to it that the front seats of the center aisles were filled with "white people only."

Observer Contest The Dunbar Observer has been offering a prize to the section salesman selling the most papers in his or her section. The prize is one dollar. Last week, Julia Dobson, of E4, won the prize. All other sections, especially those of the girls, have vowed their intention of "copping" the prize. Rifle Team The boys' rifle team is getting along fine. They have such expert riflement as Lieutenant Blanchard Lloyd, Lieutenant "Silent" Watson, Captain Coates, and Captain Henley. Some of the boys claim that Captain Weir, who by the way is spectacled, shoots four times in order to hit the four bull's eyes he claims to see. Even Lieutenant "Jack" Quunader can shoot a gun. Major Daniels shoots very good when his gnr does shoot. Celtics Club The Celtics is an athletic club of Dunbar boys, having the distinction of being the longest organized club in the school.

"I have found that Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it. "I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that.

The girls' team started a little late and it looks as if by the time they will be ready to have their competitive games the season will be over. Student Council News The student council, under the direction of its president, Lincoln Hawkins, and sponsor, J. W. Cowan, is still carrying out its campaign to "keep the luncheon clean." The first meeting of this school semester was held Monday, March 5, in the Dumbar High School Library. The president had a member of the council speak to the noon assemblies and tell them what is expected of Dunbarites. VIRGINIA EDUCATORS DISC-CUSS SCHOOL SITUATION ALEXANDRIA, Va.-On February 21-23 a Statewide Conference on Negro Education was held at the State Normal School, Petersburg, Va. This conference was called by the State Supervisor of Negro Education, W. D. Gresham The Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mr. Hart, the secretary of the State Board of Education, Mr. Lancaster, and other representatives of the Department of Education spoke or led discussions on topics of vital importance concerning Negro education in this state. Principals of all Negro schools doing any high school work, both public and private, were present. The object of the conference was to pool all of the forces of education in Virginia. Among the outstanding needs emphasized by state officials and the Negro educators, were first of all ninemonth schools for all Negro children, and well prepared teachers in each school. The second need is that of a high school education for all Negr children. The educational survey made last fall shows two things, according to the statements of the officials of the Board of Education; that the Negr citizens of this state have very poor school facilities, and secondly, that the Negro citizens are not using what they have.

Branham, white, 4425 Fourteenth street, on January 29. The accident occurred at Thirteenth and Riggs streets. The man was struck while crossing from the east to the west side of Thirteenth street at Riggs when the car, emerging from Riggs street turned into Thirteenth and struck Mr. Hannoe. As a result, he is said by hospital officials, to have sustained a fracture of the knee and suffered severe shock. Branham told police that he immediately got out of his car, made himself known to bystanders and offered assistance. After he had aided in placing the man on the sidewalk, Branham declared he became nervous with the realization that he was the only white man among a large crowd of Negroes. He left. "Did Not Help" Mrs. Josephine Pryor, 1755 Thirteenth street, the only eyewitness to the accident testified that Branham made no effort to help her get the injured man to the hospital. E. R. Galloway, 1031 Lamont street who arrived on the scene within a few short minutes after the mishap also told police that Branham refused to aid Mr. Hannoe. He also declared that he was the only colored man at the scene when they lifted Mr. Hannoe from the street. Taking the number of Branham's car as the latter drove off, Mr. Galloway reported the affair to second precinct police station, who arrested the driver of the car at his home shortly after. Dr. A. Rutkoski of the Emergency Hospital staff testified that Mr. Mannoe had no injuries other than a fracture of the left leg above the knee. He declared that Mr. Mannoe was fully recovered from shock when removed from Emergency. Mr. Mannoe was transferred to his own request from Emergency to Freedmen's Hospital, February 18, where he died last Monday. An autopsy performed over Mr. Mannoe developed that he had died from an infection of the gallbladder and not from results of the accident. There were no Freedmen's Hospital physicians present at the inquest. A Message to You—Success and How Attained. A great stimulus in helping men and women to get the things they want. It is Free.

THE THOUGH OF THE LESSON Last Sunday we studied the call, commission and the sending forth of the twelve apostles by Jesus. We pointed out that the apostles were no doubt sent forth upon this preliminary and local missionary journey for the double purpose of gaining actual experience in missionary activity and at the same time ministering to the various needs which were constantly being brought to the Savior's attention. In today's lesson the apostles have returned fatigued with their labors and laden with rich experiences. The success and popularity which they had gained were evidenced by the multitudes that surrounded them upon their return. They were so pressed by the eager crowds that they had not even time to eat nor rest. Jesus appreciated their natural desire for privacy, rest and conference with Him—there He directed that they take ship and depart for an unfrequented spot on the northeast side of the Sea of Galilee. The multitudes were not thus to this church page, was associated with him as director of theology during the school-year 1924-'25. MISSIONARY VISITS CONFERENCE Miss Sarah C. Williamson, a returned missionary from Africa, was a visitor and a speaker at the Baptist Ministers' Conference on Monday, March 5. The conference lifted a collection amounting to $25 to aid Miss Williamson in completing the school and hospital which have already been begun in Africa. Miss Williamson will return to this city in April and will be the main speaker at the conference on Monday, April 5. She works under the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. CONVERTED AT AGE OF 100 Rev. George Arnett, of Los Angeles, Cal., who was 106 years old on Tuesday, Ma. ch 6, has been a Christian just six years, according to his own statement made in the Ministers' Conference on last Monday. He was converted at the tender age of one hundred years and was licensed to preach a few months later. In spite of never having attended school Rev. Arnett speaks several languages and dialects—he claims to speak twenty-seven. He gave the conference examples of his versatility of several languages, including Chinese and Japanese. No one in the conference detected any errors. CONDUCTS BALTIMORE REVIVAL Rev. R. D. Grymes, pastor of the city left for Baltimore on last Monday where he is conducting a ten-day revival at the Morning Star Baptist Church of that city. Rev. Grymes will be in his pulpit here the coming Sunday, returning to Baltimore on Monday. CROWD HEAR REV. HARRISON What was conceded to be the Salem Baptist Church of this greatest mid-day, mid-week crowd in recent years to turn out to an ordinary preaching service was out to hear Rev. E. L. Harrison, of Houston, Texas, in his final sermon at the M. Carmel Baptist Church on Thursday, March 1, at one p.m. Long before the hour for Rev. Harrison's appearance every seat in the church auditorium had been taken, the aisles packed, and every inch of standing room around the walls occupied, with more than fifty ministers occupying and surrounding the pulpit. Although this was Dr. Harrison's final message the revival, which was highly successful, did not close until Sunday night, March 4. DIVINITY STUDENTS GIVE PROGRAM The Maynard Literary Society, composed of students of the School of Religion of Howard University, rendered a program before the Baptist Ministers' Conference on Monday, March 5.

Elmes, will park on "Gasps, the Men of Selfishness," Sunday March 11, 6:00 of Mott School will render a be outdone. Noting the sudden departure of Jesus and the twelve and the direction in which their ship was being steered they took to their heels and reached the accurately calculated landing-place of Jesus in advance of Him and His party. When Jesus saw the eager crowd He at once gave up His original purpose of rest, privacy and conference and began to teach them. When the day had been "far spent" in this teaching the apostles advised Jesus to send the crowd away in order that they might buy food—for the apostles had scarcely enough for themselves and were decidedly unwilling if not actually unable to supply the large sum of money which would be necessary to buy food for such a crowd. Jesus, after ascertaining the actual amount of food in the possession of the apostles—five loaves of bread and two fishes—commanded that the multitudes be seated in orderly groups upon the grass, making it possible for them to be easily served and accurately counted. With this done Jesus took the scant supply of food and blessed it and gave it to the apostles who in turn served the multitudes until all "were filled." After thus serving the crowd the apostles found that each of them still had a basket full for himself. In this lesson, we have a demonstration of Christ's interest in both the spiritual and the physical welfare of man. He showed this interest by teaching and feeding the eager and hungry multitudes. special program under the leadership of D. C. Henry. Tuesday evening, March 13, at 7:30, at the church, the Men's Club will meet.

SOLOMON AND CHRIST By Rev. William D. Jarvis "The queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it; for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here."—Matt. 12:42. Solomon was the son of David; he succeeded his father as King of Israel and reigned forty years. He was noted for wisdom and knowledge; and he was the chief author of the Book of Proverbs. One of the great events in his life was the building of the Temple at Jerusalem. He was also noted for riches and possessed a good character in early life, but in his latter days he was led into idolatry and other sins by his three hundred foreign wives, and his seven hundred concubines. Solomon's Wealth Solomon's wealth was derived from the contribution of merchants and traders toward his revenue; presents from kings and governors in Arabia and elsewhere; cargoes brought by his fleets from Ophar, yearly, which were 666 talents of gold, not counting the silver which was as numerous as the stones. Solomon sat upon a throne made of ivory and overlaid with pure gold. His throne had six steps, and there was upon it a foot-stool, which was of pure gold. On the side of each step was a lion gilted with gold; there were in all fourteen gilted lions. No wonder the historian said, "There was nothing like it in any kingdom." Solomon's Wisdom Solomon obeyed the command of the Lord who says: "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask it of God who giveth to all men liberally and unbraideth not." In Solomon's case, God especially blessed him with wisdom and understand- ing. Solomon reigned in Israel and was the monarch over all he surveyed. LINCOLN ALUMNI TO HOLD MASS MEETING The Washington branch of the Lincoln University Alumni Association, Charles H. Booker, president, will present a mass meeting, next Wednesday night, at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Walter H.

The meeting is being held for the purpose of aiding in the raising of $50,000 by the national Alumni Association. This money when collected will be added to by a donation, already promised the school by the General Educational Association, New York City, of which John D. Rockefeller is purported to be the founder. The entire amount will be used in extensive reorganization and expansion of Lincoln University. Dr. W. H. Johnson, the president of Lincoln, will be the principal speaker. Other speakers will be Prof. W. L. Wright, vice president of Lincoln, Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University, ex-Congressman Thomas E. Miller, South Carolina and Dr. R. B. McRary, alumni director of the Lincoln Endowment Fund. Musical numbers will be rendered by the Lincoln University quartette. SPECIAL CHOIR SERVICE The choir of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church will render Matthews' "The Conversion" on Sunday, March 18 at 6:15 p.m. Music lovers are invited to this service. PETER H. The Greatness Of Christ But Christ's greatness is greater than that of Solomon in his drawing power. Christ said, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me." "Many shall come from the East and West, North and South and shall sit down in the kingdom with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." Christ is omniscient and is the embodiment of wisdom. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and His dominion shall have no end "Til moon shall wax and wane n more." Christ is omnipresent and immutable. The cattle upon a thousand hills belong to Christ, and we are told in his word that if He was hungry, He would not tell us. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. Ye Shall Live Solomon died and slept with his fathers but Christ shall ever live; and He says to those who put their trust in Him, "because I live, ye shall live." Let us love Him more and serve Him better. The promise is to those who obey Him: "Be thou faithful until death and I will give thee a crown of life." Let infidels, skeptics, deists, atheists and modernists strive to discredit Him, but we will trust in the name of the Lord. The things which we do not understand that are written in his word, we shall believe and expect the reward, "Be thou faithful until death and I will give thee a crown of life," he has told his own. I read of a little dog that went out one night and saw the moon shining brightly, and began to bark at it, but the moon shone on. He wearied himself and pined away and died; they threw his remains out one night and saw the moon flesh thereof; the sun, wind and storms bleached the bones white, but the moon shone on. LINCOLN DEBATING TEAM TO MEET HARVARD The Lincoln University Debating Team is scheduled to meet the Debating Club of Harvard College, next Thursday night at Tremont Temple in Boston, Mass.

Hill spent his high school freshman year at Dunbar High School of this city. He also has a brother teaching at Dunbar, Gov. Fuller, Mass., will preside.

I DEPEND ON COLORED NEWSPAPERS FOR RESULTS For the past three years I have used thousands of lines of advertising space in our race papers. For each dollar so invested, I have received ample returns. I am firmly convinced of the power and influence wielded by these race journals. The growth of Negro business has paralleled that of the Negro press. No business group can progress unless they have a strong virile press to carry their messages to their prospective customers. My relation with, and results from, the Negro press convinces me that here in Washington we are extremely fortunate in this respect. I am proud of the opportunity to advertise in and support our own papers. I advertise real bargains. The kind that the public cannot afford to ignore. To become a stronger race financially, we must acquire part of this earth. My task is to assist you in this respect. Your success is my success. I want to help you to succeed in owning a home. Because the Negro press is doing its part, I am glad to take this opportunity to give this bit of testimony of its worth. mo by any FOR RENT I have plenty of houses and apartments for rent in all sections of the city.

I paused in the middle of my mashie stroke, to inhale the sweet -rose fragrance which permeated the very Mayhair atmosphere. The little white pellet I meant to knock the dots off of was saved the humiliation of being sliced into the opposite fair way—the alarm clock went off—and darn it—I had to get up—b-r-r. That reminds me—seeing Spike Spencer and Andrew Allen in the same day brings to mind the fact that baseball time is creeping up on us. Saw Spike in front of a "hash joint" on Georgia avenue in his characteristic pose (hands behind him and pockets stuffed—muffins I'll bet). Allen, the well known LeDroit Tiger magnate was at his usual business of lookin' 'em over in front of the Lincoln. One of the city's best basketball guards, both defensively and offensively is Willie Hope, of the Washington Elks. They tell me Ev Davis, that spectacular little receiver of the Washington Black Sox is forming a team of youngsters. He intends to have the cream of youthful loca' talent under his wing, this summer. Well and good for those young ball players who have sense enough to take advantage of such an opportunity to line up with a smart veteran. Much talk was going the rounds, following the upset Monday night, when the Carlisles defeated the Elks. Some seemed to think strangely of the position of the series. Community beat the Carlisles, the Elks beat Community and the Carlisles beat the Elks. Word comes from Manager Webb Lee of the Ivy City Togans that he has three holdouts. Well, Webb, that's an indication that you're becoming a big magnate. Slim Henderson, famous Virginia Seminary center and formerly an Armstrong and Carlisle A. C. court player, blew into the office while I was scribbling the show. Folks, I kinda' sorta' think old Slim is being favorably treated by breezes of old Virginia, 'cause he appears to be in the best physical shape of his life. He hinted at entering Howard next fall. Aw, shucks!-- I shouldn't have drawn that line. I meant to remind you that Slim plays in Baltimore tonight against the crack Morgan College horde. He and Red Fowler and Ed. Davis and Skeeter Underdown. Just to call the attention of my worthy friends. Bruce Flowers, whom I named as the real "Black Menace" in the pug game just handed another white lad a licking Wednesday. And he just about beat him with one hand. Peck Banks, the local "One-Eyed Connelly," seem to be particularly fond of the "Thru Our Files" Column we ran for several weeks back. Stick around, old man, we'll find one of your "Casey at the bat" stunts yet. Ambered up on "Toots" Brown, stellar first baseman, pitcher and outfielder of the old Teddy Bears, the Le Droit tTigers and several other first water local clubs, at the Walker Memorial Stadium, Wednesday afternoon. The lanky fast ball artist (when on the mound) had a short trousered youngster playing "catch" with him—For those who do not know the term "catch" I'll add that the game is played with two gloves, a baseball, four hands and two arms. Oh! that game, Wednesday. --- THE SPORT REVIEW COMMUNITY TO MEET SEMINARY DRAGONS It was announced this morning that the Community Yellowjackets, Washington's sensational young quint, with Slim Thomas, the city's leading center, have been booked to meet the crack Virginia Seminary basketball team, at the Colonade, next Thursday night. A meeting between these two stellar teams and the fact that Thomas and Slim Henderson, great Dragon pivotman, are to vie promises to be one of the season's most outstanding basketball attractions. CARLISLE OUINT AS DARK HORSES BEAT ELKS CARLISLE OUINT AS DARK HORSES BEAT ELKS A surprised herd of Elks were chased into submission when Conway's Carlisles sneaked a 33-32 victory under their belts in the closing minutes of an overtime contest at the Colonnade, Monday night. The game was the first of a Carlisle-Elk series to be decided in the best two of three wins. It was witnessed by a scant crowd, barely more than 150 people, including gate crashers, passholders as well as cash customers, present. Willie Hope, stellar Elk guard, broke the ice before the fray was more than a breath old. The first tap was taken by the Purple and White horde, passed to Hope who streaked down from his guard position and caged a run-up looner. This basket was duplicated by a wearer of the Conway silks, and for several minutes the battle was at a standstill in-so-far as scoring was concerned. The Elks, however, near the end of the period, forged into a comfortable lead. When the whistle blew they were sitting on top of a 7-point advantage. Returning from the rest period, the Carlisles, put on a determined spurt which carried them from the depths of defeat to the heights of victory. At first playing a catch-up game, the Checks closed into even terms and for the final 10 minutes it was anbody's game. The lead see-sawed. A difference of 1 point jockeyed between the two age-old rivals until the Carlisles added a free throw to one of their advantages. Thomas, the ever dangerous Elk pivotman, came through with a double-decker to tie the score. The Elks then held the ball for extension of time. The whistle blew during the "freeze-out." The extra period was decided by th caging by Tinnen, Carlisle center, of a 15-foot throw awarded on Gibson's foul of him. The game was over a few minutes later. The second game of the series goes on tonight. In view of the outcome of the opener the battle tonight should be a hummer.

BRUCE FLOWERS WINS AGAIN BY DECISION DETROIT, Mich.—A flashing left jab which reached his opponent at will, gave Bruce Flowers, Negro lightweight champion, an easy decision over Spug Myers (white) in their 10-round bout, here Wednesday night. The New Rochelle boy took 9 of the 10 stanzas from his pale face rival from Pocatello, Idaho, and strengthened his claim on the "most logical contender's rung" on the lightweight pugilistic ladder. Convinced in the early going that he had the best of the argument, Flowers contented himself with simply pointing a vicious left jab through the white boy's guard all the way. He apparently did not attempt a knockout. This victory added to the long list of victories of which Bruce already boasts, should place him in a position, not to be denied, to be accepted as the next opponent of Sammy Mandell, lightweight title holder. TOGANS DRILL All members of the Togans A. C. baseball team are urged to report for workouts, Thursday nights at Lovejoy School. A. Green, C. Green, M. Gross and S. Summerville are asked to get in touch with Manager Webb Lee. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR Washington people, who wish to learn the Armstrong version of the case in which members of the alumni and former athletes criticized the policy of their Alma Mater in allowing 22 boys to participate in the opening game of the High School series, February 16, are referred, not to their own local paper but to an out-of-town periodical for Principal G. David Houston's answer. It seems that the gentleman in question—since he found himself duty-bound to do that which I, in my humble opinion believe should have been the task of I. Newton Miller, the man criticized—would have filed his answer in the pages of the home-town paper. Inasmuch as Principal Houston is drawing his pay from the pockets of District of Columbia taxpayers, he should not, in my humble opinion, lodge his interest in Baltimore until after he has landed the job he is after in a Monumental City College—if he ever does. At any rate, if Mr. Houston can find the time in his capacity as principal of the Race's greatest technical high school, to dissertate on the present day idealistic method of carrying on athletics as compared to the old style, I'm sure that, as a writer, I can work over-time to ponder on a response—even though it does not nearly approach the pedagogue's magniloquence. I do not, however, believe that I can summon enough thought, or variety of expressions, to find use for one thousand three hundred thirty words as did Mr. Houston. So much for Mr. Houston's Baltimore interests and his time for newspaper work while administering in a leading educational institution. In his article, Principal Houston claims that Armstrong now awards letters on a system of merit. The program consists of "ideals"—(rather than quote him because of the amount of space required, I'll use my own words). It involves the boys' status as scholars as well as players. Besides maintaining their eligibility for the teams by virtue of passing marks, the boys' must be honest and well behaved. In-so-far as Principal Houston acquaints the public with the "severe eligibility rules" alleged to be practiced at Armstrong, the writer, in his humble opinion, can see nothing new. In days of the past, the same requirements had to be met by the members of varsity teams. Non-passing scholastic ratings automatically, according to the understanding given students, dropped a boy from a varsity squad. Teachers at that time, too, were authorized to withdraw a player in their own discretion. In some cases teachers were disliked because of action under this authority. "An Armstrong team on the field is always an eligible team," asserts Mr. Houston. This, in my humble opinion, is nothing new. In the time of E. P. Westmoreland as coach, within which period I first became acquainted with basketball as played at Armstrong, only eligible teams were seen in action, and since Mr. Miller has had charge, the same practice has prevailed. But if the able principal has made a discovery then he is to be complimented. However it is not charged that this was meant by Mr. Houston to cast a reflection on his opponents and predecessors. Back now to the new policy. I am wondering why, in the face of the present requirements and practices, letters of various types are not used. Quite an amount of paper could be saved with the abolition of students' report cards and the substitution of blue "A's" in their stead. Letters at Principal Houston's school are now awarded to players, mediocre or otherwise, who live up to the ideals of honesty, scholarship, cleanliness, conduct and language. Armstrong's basketball "A" nowadays, does not mean that the wearer is LEADS DRAGONS AGAINST BEARS 207010 Ed.

The games are being played every Saturday afternoon. At a meeting of the Alpha fraternity, Tuesday night, it was decided to register their team. Until this action was taken the chapter had stuck to the decision not to participate in the series because of certain differences, which difference were not disclosed. KAPPA AHEAD IN THRILLING GO WITH OMEGA The opening game of the Interfraternity Basketball League series went to the "Four Horsemen" of Kappa Alpha Psi, at the Colonnade, last Saturday. The Omega Psi Phi quint was defea' d, before 600 fans, by the score of 31-28. Coach Westmoreland, who did not assume charge of the Omega team until the afternoon of the contest pulled his men together in a masterly manner, and the Kappa tossers faced quite a task subduing them. As is usually the case in these frat meetings the rivalry was so intense as to keep the combating factions on the verge of a break. However, in spite of the fact that clashes seemed to be ever imminent the game went on with a commendable degree of clean play. Simpson and Woods of Kappa crowned themselves with glory while Whyte, their running mate was also a figure who remained in the limelight. The playing of Berry and Coate was best for Omega.

Watson, head coach of football, takes on a new aspect as the recently adopted athletic eligibility rules are disclosed. The difference lies in the administration's determination to recommend Coach Watson's retention for more than one year and an equally detrined refusal on the part of Mr. Watson to sign for less than three. Under the new regulations, the head football mentor at Howard, whether he be Mr. Watson or someone else, will face a serious handicap in his effort to develop a representative Blue and White eleven. Age Limit Two new regulations were adopted at a general faculty meeting held last month. The first applies to students aspiring for participation in the athletic competitions between Howard and Lincoln Universities. It bars any man from the varsity team who is over 20 years of age. This bar, however, does not affect students who have not played on the varsity team during their enrollment in the preparatory or industrial department of another college. For example, a varsity football player or varsity track man in the preparatory school at Johnson C. Smith University is ineligible for varsity competition at Howard or Lincoln. The amendment follows: "All students over 20 years of age at the time of College matriculation, who have participated as members of varsity teams while enrolled in the high school or industrial department of an institution of collegiate grade shall be ineligible for memebership on the varsity teams of Howard and Lincoln Universities. This legislation shall not affect students already matriculated in either Howard or Lincoln. A man is 20 years of age on his twentieth birthday. Therafter he is 21." While this rule has no set bearing on the teams in their respective contests with other schools, it will be strictly adhered to in Howard-Lincoln competition. Thus the annual Thanksgiving Day Football Classic will be affected. Unit Requirement The second amendment has to do with the negotiation of units on the part of players between their membership on the varsity team one season and their eligibility for that varsity team the following season. This rule is considered in a better light than the first, however, in that it will have a tendency to abolish the practice of students cropping out of school at the close of an athletic season the succeeding year. There have been several such cases in the past 5 years. The rules state that in order for a man to become eligible for a varsity team after having played on that team one year, he must be a student for the two quarters prior to that varsity season. Hence a man cannot play football in 1927 who drops out of school and returns for the 1928 football season as has been previously allowed. The language of the amendment: "No student who has participated in any inter-collegiate extra curricula activity of any kind in any one collegiate year shall be eligible to participate in the same activity in any succeeding collegiate year until he shall have earned six additional academic units and also six additional grade points, including those units and grade points earned during the period of such participation." Explanation "For the purpose of this rule a collegiate year shall extend from the beginning of the student's participation in the activity in question to the corresponding time of the next calendar year. Road Rocky These two amendments together with the old one barring professional school students makes the road of the future coach at Howard rocky. At present then: no student who has received a bachelor's degree from Howard or any other college or who has completed the college course at Howard; no student who has reached his twentieth birthday at the time of his entrance at Howard and who has proven himself varsity timber at any other college; and no student who does not earn six units between successive football, baseball, etc., seasons, can be used by a coach who undertakes to develop a Howard varsity team. Facing these difficulties, besides his inability to start Spring football training because he does not know whether he is to be retained or not, it is no wonder that Coach Watson is pessimistic about waiting for the June meeting of the Board of Trustees for official consideration of his retention as head coach at Howard. WALKER INSTITUTE BASEBALL SQUAD OUT AUGUSTA, Ga. — Conch Clark made his first call for baseball at Walker Baptist Institute, Wednesday, with more than forty boys ready.

NAME ADDRESS The Purple and White of the Columbia Elk Lodge basketball team again floated over their critical two of three games series against the Community A.A. Yellowjackets, Wednesday night. The score was 39-34 in extra time. Swinging into perfect action with their newly styled "Man-to-man-and-chase-'em" defense, the youngsters forged into an early lead and set a pace too fast for the antered crew. The half ended on a 13-8 score. With resumption of play, following the rest period, however, the older team set to work: They overcame the Orange and Black lead and went into the van, only to be overheated themselves. After trying the score at 16 the Yellowjackets let loose an offensive pace which carried them far into the lead. Again, however, the Community defense cracked long enough to allow the Elks to bring themselves on even terms. The score stood at 24-all and 10 minutes of game time remained to be played. From this point on things happened so fast that the spectators found it difficult to keep their seats. Washington, Elk forward caged a looper which was matched in short order, by Turner, Community forward. With the score tied at 26, Washington sank a pair of free throws and this 2-point lead was added to by Hope's foul shot. Lacey's foul goal and Johnson's double-decker again brought the count to even. BALTO, Md.,—Sam Lacy, sport editor of the Washington Tribune, has been selected by authorities of Morgan College and Virginia Seminary athletic departments to officiate the battle between the Morgan Bears and Seminary Dragons carded for the New Albert Auditorium, tonight. For sometime Coach Drew and his players have rated Lacy high among basketball officials of this section. The game tonight will mark the first appearance this year, of a Washington arbiter on a Baltimore court. The battle, because of the rec- GEORGE IN SPECTACULAR FEATS PASADENA, C. al.-Nathaniel George, a member of the 1926 graduating class of Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., broke the two college records in the inter-class track meet staged at the Whittier College, here last week. George ran the 220 yard dash in the fast time of 22.5 seconds and followed by stepping the quarter-mile in 51.3 seconds. To top his record-breaking feats off, George won the broad jump and ran on the class relay team. With 16% points the Washington Negro took the individual cup, a trophy given, each year to the highest point winner in the inter-class meet. George's name will be engraved on it. GODFREY'S PREDICTAMENT Listen, folks, take my word for it George Godfrey doesn't have a ghost of a show at whipping anybody "worth while." Every time he fights he digs himself a deeper grave. Before he meets an opponent, if the opponent wins he will be Tunney's most logical contend, according to advance dope of the wise ones. After he meets—and incidentally beats—an opponent, the opponent has never been more than a setup. For that reason those he whips will never be "worth while." Then again, folks, the manager of the "Leiperville Shadow" has said some bad things about Tunney and the other heavies. SEVEN Suter, slipping away from Gray, stellar Community guard, caged an easy runup shot and with the game apparently won the Elkins started a freeze. The ball, however, was stolen from Suter by Gray and the Orange and Black southpaw sank, a spectacular looper to again tie the count. Less than a minute later the whistle blew for the end of playing time. The game, then forced into overtime, was resumed immediately, and after Jackson, Purple and White guard, dropped a near follow-up, Turner made both two free throws. The count stoo at 32-all. Near the close of the battle of Elkmen took a lead which we continually threatened until will a very few seconds to play. He stood under the basket, entire free of his guard, Lacy, and add the last two of 39 points. I. N. Miller and T. A. Johnson referee and umpire respectively, were very good and are worthy of mention in their handling of the clash, doubtless the fastest, closest and most difficult game to handle of any seen, thus far on local courts in 1928.

Fabien grows rich by gambling and one day, meeting her wi' her protector and believing her to be a courtesan, he hurls his winnings at her. She is able to explain, however, and is forgiven. They again live together, now in possession of fabulous wealth, Louis XV plays at cards for Manon, and wins her. Fabien in trying to protect her is sentenced to the bastile and is condemned to be deported to America. Fabien kills her tormentor, boards the ship, stirs the crew to mutiny and takes Manon to safety. This is but the skeleton of a story pulsing with life, burning with strange inexingtuable beauty. Barrymore has the chance to do all the things he did in "Beau Brummel." "The Sea Beast" and "Dou Juan," and Delores is even more frail exquisitely and appealing than before. "When a Man Loves" is a picture no one can afford to miss. For Thursday, Friday and Saturday the screen attraction will be "Quality Street" featuring the ever beautiful Marion Davies who is ably supported in the production by Conrad B. Nagel and Kate Price. "Quality Street" is a period play which deals with provincial England at the time of the Napoleonic wars. It is based on Sir James Barrie's famous stage play of the same name. Conrad Nagel plays the hero. The production is lavish as well as exquisite and will long be remembered by picture lovers. On Saturday only will be shown the universal chapter play "The Vanishing Rider," featuring William Desmond. At 9 p.m. will be held the opportunity contest at which time three cash prizes will be given to the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1928 Special Announcement By special agreement with the producers, the management has secured special permission to hold a special performance of "I the Patent Leather Kid" for children only, Saturday morning, March 10, at 10:30 o'clock. During the morning show the Universal serial "The Vanishing Rider" will also be shown. S. H. DUDLEY VISITS LOCAL THEATRES BEFORE GOING TO FLORIDA I am leaving for sunny Florida to take a much needed rest and I will spend some time in Jacksonville, Palm Beach and Miami. It has been years since I visited this section but I suppose it is just like the shows we are getting—no change. At this writing I can say that business is much better than it has been for some time in and around Washington. I covered the following theatres recently, the Lincoln, found capacity there; Howard, capacity; Broadway, capacity; Republic, good house; Jewel, capacity; Rosalia, capacity; Dunbar, capacity. It seems to me that the Leitchman combination knows what the public wants or they could not do capacity business. The show at the Howard last week was Max Mitchel's "Dixie." This show had a good cast of actors headed by Roscoe Montello, Ernest Whitman and a number of female stars that fairly shine. This is not a new vehicle, but it is put over in a way that you are compelled to say it is a good show. For this simple reason this show is doing more business than anything that has played the Howard since Irvin C. Miller's "Brownskin Models"-which is a standard attraction in colored theatres. We have four standard attractions that play the colored houses that never fail to do business; namely, Drake and Walker, Whitman Sisters, Brownskin Models and Mamle Smith. Of course there are other good attractions that draw just as well in spots but the above mentioned do business everywhere they appear. Why? Because of good management and progressive showmanship, and it is that alone that causes progress. I must admit that if we had bigger and better theatres, better managed and accurate jumps, we would have more good shows. At present there are attractions that play New York, Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington that never go any further on account of conditions. This will be remedied soon. All that is needed now is cooperation between the managers of theatres, and producers of shows. On my return I expect to call a meeting of both the producers and managers to thrash it out for the benefit of all concerned. MRS. EDNA LEWIS THOMAS HONORED Mrs. Ione Lane, 1318 U street, northwest, entertained a few friends at her home on last Tuesday evening in honor of Mrs. Edna Lewis Thomas, of New York City, who is in the city playing in "Lulu Belle" at the National Theatre this week.
