School Teacher is Awarded $6,329.89 Back Pay FIRST in Advertising and Circulation SALARY STARTS FROM TIME OF ELIGIBILITY SALARY STARTS FROM TIME OF ELIGIBILITY Justice Wendell P. Stafford in circuit court No. 1, last Monday morning awarded Mrs. Mabel Jackson Matthews, a teacher in the Armstrong Technical High School, a judgment for $6,329.89 with interest and cost. Mrs. Matthews sued the District of Columbia for pay from the date she became eligible for appointment. She first obtained a writ of mandamus directing the Board of Education to appoint her. The position to which she was appointed had been filled by a teacher who lacked the necessary qualifications. The school board refused to remove this teacher and appoint Mrs. Matthews until ordered to do so by the court. ANNUAL HEALTH WEEK TO BE OBSERVED ANNUAL HEALTH WEEK TO BE OBSERVED TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala. -Widespread interest in the fourteenth annual National Negro Health Week to be observed April 1-8 is indicated by the response to the call for the observance. Health and social service agencies in many cities, small towns and rural districts are preparing to observe the week. In Maryland and in North Carolina the state departments of health have issued official proclamations urging health workers of the state to co-operate in the annual observance of Health Week. National Negro Health Week is observed each year under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute with the United States Public Health Service and a number of other agencies interested in promoting better health. The observance aims to arouse the Negro race to the dangers which threaten the health of the race and sap its vitality. Annually the National Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign Bureau of New York offers prizes to the cities and communities which best observe the week. These prizes are awarded to representatives of the winning cities or communities at the annual meetings of the National Negro Business League. Agencies promoting the observance are urged to keep careful account of the week's observance and submit the same to Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

'NUMBERS' GAME WITHIN THE LAW RUNNERS CLAIM The office of the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia is perplexed over the "numbers" game. The police have made several raids on persons who are backing the "numbers" but there has been no convictions. The last raid was made last Saturday morning by police of the eighth precinct. Those arrested in this raid were John Wallie Carter, 30, 632 T street, northwest; Charles Harvey Smith, 19, 1103 S street, northwest; James Jake Norfleet, 29, 622 Q street, northwest; Henry Dixon, 40, 1708 Fifth street, northwest, and Fred McLoud, 36, 415 U street, northwest. Carter and Smith were charged with violation of section 863 of the District code. This section makes it an offense for any person in the District to operate any policy lottery or to sell any ticket entitling anyone to a drawing in a policy lottery. The penalty for violating this section is a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more than three years. "Within the Law" The others who were taken in the raid were held as government witnesses. All were released in bonds of $1,000 each to await a preliminary hearing in police court. Attorney James A. O'Shea is representing the defendants. The men who are running the "numbers" here claim, upon advice of their lawyers, that the game is not covered by the District code. They say that it is "within the law." There is no drawing. No gaming table is set up in connection with the "numbers." Persons simply wager that the "number" on a certain day will be such and such a number. This number is taken from a combination of the balances in the New York Clearing House daily statement. From one cent to a dollar may be put on a number. The odds are 600 to 1. A number may be played in six different combinations. The persons who operate the game have "runners." These runners call on their players daily (Continued on page 2) SUPREME LIFE TO DEDICATE NEW BLDG.

Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, upon his return here from Jackson, Miss., last Monday. Mr. Howard believes that a coalition of renegade Democrats and "lily-white" Republicans are making a concerted effort to eliminate the colored Republican from party councils. This movement, as he views it, is not confined to the states of Georgia and Mississippi but comprises the whole South. It is being aided and abetted, he thinks, by a class of northern Republicans who believe that the Negro should remain a follower in the ranks of the Republican party. The question of supporting candidates for the Republican nomination is inconsequential at this time, Mr. Howard has decided. He believes that stubborn resistance should be made to the efforts of the "lily-white" to eliminate the Negro from the councils of the Republican party. "The present, concerted 'lily-white' movement," Mr. Howard said, "is the most stupendous and inimicable movement of its kind ever attempted by those who feel that the Negro should not be permitted to exercise his political rights untrammeled and to participate in the councils of the Republican party. The Whole South "It is not confined to any two or three southern states, but embraces the whole South and seems to have the approval of a few northerners high in the councils of the Republican party. In fact, it is a coalition between renegade Dem- (Continued on page 7) M.E.CONFERENCE AUTHORIZES A HOME FOR AGED M.E.CONFERENCE AUTHORIZES A HOME FOR AGED Outstanding among the happenings at the sixty-fifth session of the Washington Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held in Baltimore, Md., March 21 to 26 inclusive, was the approval of plans for the purchase of a home for the aged, authorization of the securing by trustees of a loan of $60,000, and the return of Rev.

(Continued on page 2) MAN HAS PRISON PSYCHOSIS, NOT INSANE; GUILTY The development of a prison psychosis while in jail failed to save Louis Arthur Bouie from conviction on a murder charge in connection with the killing of William Simms, at 1244 Howison street, southwest, August 13, 1925. A jury in criminal court No. 1 last Monday returned a verdict of second degree murder against him. He was remanded to await sentence. He faces a penalty of imprisonment from 20 years to life. Bouie, represented by Attorney John H. Wilson, pleaded insanity, self-defense and accidental slaying. He had just been returned from St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the insane to the District jail on February 2. When the case was first called for trial in October, 1925, he was committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital on the ground that he was insane on the date of the trial. Developed in Jail At this trial, Dr. Percy D. Hickling, District alienist, testified that Bouie's only mental trouble was a prison psychosis, a condition which he developed in the jail. Dr. John E. Lind, a staff physician of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, testified that Bouie had a predisposition to insanity, but that he knew the difference between right and wrong. Attorney Wilson put on the stand two lay witnesses to prove that his client was insane. Bouie himself did not testify. Government witnesses testified that Bouie and Simms had been gambling at another house on the day of the killing. Simms won Bouie's money and went home, Somebody informed Bouie that Simms had used "crooked dice" in the game. Bouie went to Simms' home and demanded his money back. Simms refused to return it to him. Bouie shot and killed him. The Witnesses The Government witnesses included Mrs. Irene Simms, 1234 First street, northwest, widow of the dead man; Arthur Johnson and his wife, Mrs. Estelle Johnson, 1211 Howison street, southwest, and Edward Jones, 363 M street, southwest. Chief Justice McCoy submitted the case to the jury on the three questions, telling them that if they believed that Bouie was insane, or that he killed in self defense, or that the killing was an accident, they should return a verdict of not guilty. Bouie was indicted for first degree murder. The second degree verdict was a compromise, it was learned. Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins prosecuted the case.

FINALLY WINS COLORED OFFICER PEATEN TRYING TO STOP WHITE MEN IN STREET BRAWL An heroic battle, waged by the family of Alida C. Taylor, popular young local school teacher, was last Friday morning when long, long cheated, claimed her at 10:15 e'clock at her residence, 1712 Fifteenth street, northwest. For nearly three years the inevitable had been fought off, conquering at last in an uneven struggle, uneven because the energetic efforts of Miss Taylor, her family and friends had made it so. Born in Washington, November 20, 1898, Miss Taylor was educated in the local public schools. She graduated from the M Street High School in 1916, and two years later finished the Miner Normal School. In June, 1920, Miss Taylor was appointed as teacher in the second grade at the Lovejoy School, where for five years she established quite a record as a teacher. While thus engaged, Miss Taylor made many friends which, added to the large number of her earlier friendships, gave her a wealth of acquaintances during her illness. The presence at the funeral of eighteen teachers of the Lovejoy School besides Principal D. I. Renfro, in spite of her having been away from the school three years, indicates the high esteem in which Miss Taylor was held by her colleagues. Goes to Canada Miss Taylor became sick during the early months of 1925. She entered the Muskoka Cottage Sanitarium, Gravenhurst, Ontario, in July of the same year. A great amount of money was spent during Miss Taylor's stay at the sanitarium. Miss Taylor was a member of the choir of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, where since early childhood she had been attendant. Surviving Miss Taylor are her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Taylor; three brothers, Robert, Benjamin and Albert, and two sisters, Mrs. Irene Leak and Mrs. Jennie Wilder, both local school teachers. Funeral services were held Monday at 2:30 p.m. from the residence. Rev. H. B. Taylor, pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, officiated. Rockefeller to Speak at Fisk's Commencement NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The remarkable strides which Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, has made in the last year under the administration of Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones has been repeatedly proved by the interest which many prominent philanthropists have shown in the institution. Such leaders as President Angell, of Yale; Harry Emerson Fosdick, of New York, Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, and Chancellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, have written congratulatory letters to Dr. Jones on his administration. The most recent expression of interest has been the acceptance of Dr. Jones' invitation by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to be commencement day speaker. In reply to Dr. Jones' invitation, Mr. Rockefeller wrote: "Dear Mr. Jones: "I have been a long time in replying to your letter of January 25, asking me to give the commencement address at Fisk University on June 6 of this year. "In view of the pressure of duties and responsibilities which are always upon me, I have felt I ought not to accept this invitation. On the other hand, my interest in the colored race and in the problems which it involves is urging me to say yes. Because of the splendid work which you are doing at Fisk University, and because under your leadership this institution gives promise of being an instrumentality of widespread service to the whole colored race, I am yielding to my impulses and disregarding my judgment and am going to accept with pleasure your invitation. "It will be a pleasure to see you in the midst of your work and have the opportunity of meeting your students. "Thank you for the invitation." Dr. Jones and his staff are steadily engaged in the two-fold problem of securing adequate financial support and an unparalleled faculty. ```markdown ``` 6,329.89 COLORED OFFICER TRYING TO STOP MEN IN STREET RISHER SPONSORS FISH'S NOMINATION John T.

Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a nation-wide strike vote began this week. Strike ballots will be issued to over 7,000 porters who are members of the union, and also to porters who are non-members. Randolph said, "Efforts will be made to complete the taking of the strike vote in the shortest possible time." The purpose of the strike vote is to create an emergency in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act. It is a natural and logical result of the refusal of the Pullman Company to meet the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and arbitrate the disputes when it was argued to do so by Hon. Edwin P. Morrow, one of the mediators of the United States Mediation Board. Instead of complying with the recommendation of the Mediation Board, the Pullman Company replied that there was nothing to arbitrate and that it had a contract with its company union. The Brotherhood then presented its case to the Interstate Commerce Commission, seeking to secure a ban on tips as a reward for labor, thereby depriving the company of the ability to hide behind and get the benefit of the $7,000,000 contributed by the public in tips to the porters yearly. From Coast to Coast "The strike vote maneuver will extend from Florida to the Pacific Coast,' says Randolph, "including such big centers as Jacksonville, Altanta, Savannah, Birmingham, New Orleans, Fort Worth, Dallas, and San Antonio, Texas, Washington, Richmond, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul Minneapolis, Denver, Omaha, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, etc." The Brotherhood has been in existence two and a half years, having been organized in New York in August, 1925. Its case was first presented to the United States Mediation Board in May, 1926, and again in July, 1927, in Chicago. The demands were for $150 minimum wages. The present wage is $72.50 a month. The union demanded the 240-hour work-month. At present operators operate on a mileage basis of 11,000 which amounts to nearly 400 hours of work a month. Heavy Expenses While porters receive tips which average $58 a month, according to a survey of the Labor Bureau of New York, they are also required to pay out $33 a month as an occupational expense for shoe polish to shine the passengers' shoes; to pay for their own food in tranist and at the terminals; to pay for their lodging when quarters are not provided or are undesirable, and to pay for two uniforms a year. Since the organization began, the company has placed Filipinos on some of the club cars as intimidation to the porters, but this has not daunted the porters, says the organizer. Meetings are being held all over the country in the districts daily to execute the signing of the strike ballots. Old porters, thirty and forty years in the service are signing the ballots, and saying that the time has come to make a stand. EET, N.W. 9 Back CER PEATEN STOP WHITE STREET BRAWL Police are searching for several young white men, who early last Tuesday morning, administered a severe beating to John B. Loftus, patrolman attached to the Eighth Precinct, when he attempted to arrest them for fighting. According to the story, Mr. Loftus was walking his beat in T street between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, northwest, when he saw five or six men emerge from the Obsecon Apartments, 1706 T street. They began fighting upon reaching the sidewalk. When the policeman interceded the men turned upon him. One, Mr. Loftus declares, succeeded in wrestling his black-jack from him. Then while he was held by others, the man with the black-jack struck him several times on the head. Though badly battered and shaken up, Mr. Loftus succeeded in thwarting an attempt on the part of the men to force him into a black body sedan in which they escaped. The policeman fired two shots at the car as it sped away. Policemen Arrive As a result of the shooting, several residents in the vicinity made calls to various police stations. Reserves from the second, third, and eighth precincts and a squad of headquarters' detectives arrived at the scene in a few minutes. Mr. Loftus was taken, by fellow officers to Freedmen's Hospital where he was treated by Dr. H. D. Giles. His condition, at first undetermined, is now regarded as "not serious." He was taken to his home, yesterday morning. Policeman Loftus has been attached to the eighth precinct since his transfer from the third precinct, August 16, 1924. He is 58 years old, and lives at 1514 Kingman street. Eighth precinct officers said yesterday, that a white man whom they felt sure knew the assailants of Mr. Loftus were known. This man, whose name was not divulged is said to have gone to the rescue of two white girls whom the several men were attempting to lure in their car. He is said to have told police that the men were fighting with hirn when Policeman Loftus intervened. NOTED CHURCH PRELATE HERE PASSION WEEK Bishop George C.

Policemen Arrive --- IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS CHURCH DENIES TRYING TO SELL POSTMAST'RSHIP MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Mar. 29.—The political pot boils turbulently. Robert R. Church branded as false and malicious charges that he had sought to sell the post mastership here as contained in affidavits made by G. Tom Taylor and G. H. Poole. These affidavits have been turned over to the Department of Justice in Washington for investigation. They were submitted to Postmaster General New. He took the view that inasmuch as both of the accusers of Mr. Church were not in the postal service, it was a matter for the Department of Justice. G. Tom Taylor, who was acting postmaster here until March 8, charges that Mr. Church demanded $1,000 out of his salary at the price of a permanent appointment. Taylor was nominated by the President for the office. Senator Kenneth McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, served notice that Taylor was personally objectionable to him. President Coolidge withdrew the nomination, and Taylor was continued as acting postmaster. Sheely Appointed On March 9, Edward V. Sheely was appointed. He declared that Bob Church was responsible for his appointment. Taylor had no knowledge that Sheely would be appointed until he received instructions from the Postmaster General to turn the office over to Mr. Sheely at the close of business on that day. George E. Poole, who was an applicant for the postmastership, claims that Mr. Church not only demanded a salary split of $2,800 but sought an agreement for the appointment of colored mail carriers and special delivery boys. Poole failed to get on the civil service eligible list from which the appointment was made. Friends of Mr. Church claim that these charges are only another effort to shear him of the power that he is welding in Republican politics in Tennessee, and nationally. DETECTIVE SERGT.

His generosity to his parents is now theatrical lore. He has lav- ished many gifts upon them but they had steadily refused the offer of a new home. They wanted to remain in the old homestead, 713 Four-and-a-half street, southwest. Last Christmas, however, Al com- pleted a real estate deal whereby they became the owners of a beau- tiful 12-room house on Lanier place, northwest. “CHARLEY’S AUNT” “Good enough for Broadway,” declares Alston W. Burleigh, of the play, “Charley’s Aunt”, which is now being prepared under his direction, by players of the Omega Psi Phi ‘fraternity for its initial showing, Easter Monday night in the Armstrong Auditorium. Despite the fact that Mr. Bur- leigh is to have a part in the play “Abraham's Bosom,” appear- ing in New York soon, he has worked diligently on the charac- ters of “Charley's Aunt.” With the use of wigs and va- rious cosmetics the male actors are impersonating female charac- ters with exceptional skill. ‘The scene is laid in Oxford, England, and depicts, in part, life in the English collegiate atmos- phere. Dr, Alain Locke, Howard University, himself a graduate of Oxford College, has offered nu- merous suggestions which have aided in securing an English touch. AL JOLSON ON THE VITA.

TWELVE Liberal Progressive Independent PERRY HOWARD AND POLITICS Each age has its outstanding men; each phase of life and each community has persons who gather the rays of the Klieg light and our admiration or censure, if it be for but a brief spell. History is replete with the characters who held such posts and upon whom we, today, shower praise or blame or honor or monuments. Every movement and each change in social relations forces to the front a new player; sometimes the main character plays the solo and then again the understudy gets the chance of a career. America as a land of opportunity has given and does give us so many instances of the apparently rapid rise to prominence of men who have been preparing since childhood; Perry W. Howard is such a man. The political exigencies in the South, where the brother in sable is the principal voter for national Republican candidates, but where the elder brother of lighter hue now aims to get upon the plutocratic band wagon, has found in the National Committeeman of Mississippi, Perry Howard, a man who is so distinctly a brother in sable, so unafraid, so inured to chicery and so loyal to what he feels to be the best interests of his group, that he is bound to think straight on every question which confronts him as representative of the people for whom he acts. Should Perry Howard win his fight to select the delegates to the Republican convention at Kansas City, from among the men and women who have been the backbone of the Republican party in Mississippi since the Civil War, he will be the national political leader of our group. He is fighting "lily-whiteism" and the political extinction of the colored voter which it connotes. Should Perry Howard lose his fight against our most dangerous foe since the days of Henry Grady, he will still be the greatest of our political leaders because he will be in position to shock the apathy of the colored voters into a knowledge of their increasing danger in a government which rests fundamentally upon the consent of the governed. This is not the first time in the political history of this country that the choice of a presidential nominee has depended upon the support of the votes of the brother in sable, but it is the first time when so many voters were aware of the means and the power used to defeat and possibly destroy the single weapon of citizens in a democratic republic. The time was when political leaders bought or frightened those who were mere pawns in their game, but the time is here when they have adopted new tactics hoping to root out our political leaders one and all. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. A study of the procedure followed by the brother of paler hue shows it to have been "to divide and conquer." Now that we are refusing to be divided, we shall force him to make with us the same kind of terms he makes with others whom he needs; in so doing, we shall become American citizens in political reality. Keep your eye on Perry W. Howard, and give him your moral support. The announcement that Julius Rosenwald has offered to match donations amounting to $26,000 for Fisk University calls our attention to the neglect of charity among us. With every increase in racial prosperity, there should follow an even display of racial good-will and aid to those not so well endowed or favorably situated. The fact is, such a sequence does not obtain. Among the travelers who use the Union Station, probably one-third are of our people, and yet we have not been able to support a single traveler's aid to co-operate in caring for the women who need assistance from time to time. Local charities are not supported by our group which clamors so loudly about its quota of the population, and which supplies so large a part of the demands upon charity in every one of its branches. Judged by the clothes worn, the cars operated, and the houses in which we live and entertain, to say nothing of the expenditures for the entertainments themselves, we Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST, FILMISHING COMPANY, INC. should make it a matter of pride among us that no member of our group is in want; and further, that no worthy cause lacks support. Either we are spoofing ourselves and our observers in strutting higher than our energies warrant; or we are negligent in fundamental social relations; and by such social relations is racial progress measured, not by houses and paraphernalia. If the organization of a "community chest" be necessary to enlist the support of the better-income group, which has a self-imposed duty to support charities, then let us have the "community chest." But by all means, start a campaign in every lodge, club, organization and home, looking to the regular and heartily supported appropriation of a definite proportion of the income for charity. CHURCHMEN AND OPPOR TUNITY The meeting of the National Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of America, here this week, should eventuate in much that shall be valuable to the present weakened influence of the church. A large program has been announced; a wide range of serious topics is set for consideration. If the men who are listed to discuss the problems which confront the moral and religious world are sincere and give them careful thought, much good may follow. Dr. Karl Reiland says: "When religious conviction closes the door on our thinking and settles down in satisfaction and solitude it enters into a decline and begins to lead an unhealthy existence." By its program the alliance indicates that its mind is not closed and it has not settled down. Out of its conference should come a freshness that would enlist the attention and response of our younger people; they are the present problem of the church. Living in an age of change and readjustment, subject to the powerful influences of speed, mad music, cheap finery, fine cars, big houses, and loosening social bonds, our young people are floating and floundering in a moral quagmire from which only a virile and intelligent church leadership may rescue them. The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance has the opportunity; that it shall grasp it depends upon the extent to which it can forget self and think things through without doctrine or creed. THE PLIGHT OF NEGRO LABOR That quite two million former wage-earners are out of work and that such conditions have been gradually developing since April of last year, comes simply to confirm what we have long known and what we have argued in these columns as due to faulty distribution of the income from American industry. In sharp contrast with the facts as to unemployment at the bottom of the labor scale comes the buying and selling of securities on the stock exchange to amounts about equal to a day's loss in wages to the unemployed. America is passing into what is known as concentration of wealth; a nucleus of some four million people lives upon the income from vested interests protected by law. The only remedy for the self-interest of the managers of these vested interests—who introduce economies by laying off employees or by refusing to advance their wages to meet the increased cost of living lies in action by the government, federal, state, and municipal. Because the only protection now available to the common laborer is by the expenditure of public funds for public work, he it is who must come to repeat and understand what Lincoln meant when he said: "The government of, for and by the people, shall not perish from the earth." It was in Rome, as in every other dead civilization, that public moneys and public works became the dole by which the masses lived, when concentration of wealth reached its limits. Teke the single instance of the Pullman, Incorporated, and all subsidiary companies, including the original Pullman Company, as an illustration of the operation of concentrated wealth and its disregard both for the public which it charges too much and its employees to whom it refuses to pay decent wages, thereby compelling them to seek favors at the hands of the public in voluntarily bestowed sums known as tips. That gigantic corporation, worth more than three hundred million dollars, earned from the carrier business operating 8,689 cars, a total of more than fifteen million dollars, with a net surplus of more than five million dollars after paying dividends of more than six million Each one of the cars of the Pullman Company is credited with earning a net revenue of $9,466.64, while the porter whose service, intelligence and peculiar loyalty and fitness made possible the most valuable though intangible element of that service, received a bare one-tenth of that amount for his twelve months of labor. Each passenger of the grand total of more than thirty-five million gave to the company twenty-nine cents net. If the Pullman Company were to simply share that twenty-nine cents with the porters, it would still have earned more than two and a half million dollars surplus after paying its dividends, and it would have placed its porters in such a position that they could and would improve the service and increase the economies to result in lower costs of operation and maintenance. It has been done by other corporations compelled to deal more directly with the public in selling both goods and services. The Pullman Company should note that every increase in the wealth of the people in America means an increase in the business of what has come to be "first class" traffic for passengers over our railroads, and that it would be good business for the company to share with all of its employee, some of the income which must find its way into the stream of distribution of wealth in this country to continue the unequaled prosperity. Concentration of wealth is inevitable without mass opposition in destructive tactics, or mass voting to secure legislative control. We do not believe the Pullman Company to be unmindful of a former unpleasant experience in refusing to heed the plan of its employees. ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS William H.

ROBERTS CHAPEL COMMUNITY BUILDING ADVERTISED FOR SALE ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Mar. 30.—The Roberts Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church Community Building, located on the northeast corner of Washington and Gibbon streets, this city, is being advertised for sale at public auction at the Royal street entrance of the Market house building, at 12 o'clock noon, Friday, April 6. In 1920, this building, which had formerly been a shoe factory, was purchased by the trustee board of Roberts Chapel for $25,000. It was understood that a part of the amount would be paid from the Methodist Episcopal Centenary Fund, a building fund held by the home office of the M.E. denomination. The property is to be sold to secure payment of a deed of trust held against the property, for balance due on purchase price. The trustees at the time of purchasing the property were William A. Carter, James E. Colbert, Benjamin F. Watson, Moses Simms, Howard A. Barrett, William A. McDowell, Orlando F. Burton, and Jacob Buckner, the latter two are deceased. The property comprises a lot 70 by 112 feet; on which is a brick building about 40 by 80 ft., having three stories and a basement. About a year ago, the property was advertised to be sold under the trust but the church trustees made some adjustment before the sale took place. The building was then rented to a shirt making company who still occupy it. No major improvements have been made on the property since it has been controlled by the church. At different times the church has held entertainments and moving picture shows in it; and, for short periods of time, has rented it as a meeting place for fraternal, civic, religious, and political meetings. Barry Farms News The Moot Court, held at the Campbell A.M.E. Church last Wednesday night, was a success. Attorney John H. Wilson was the presiding judge, and students from the law school of Howard University were the participants. The proceeds were given to the church. Preparations for the Birnay School vegetable garden are now being made. The old school lot on Sheridan road, containing half an acre, is being plowed. Under the auspices of the Men's Club of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, the concluding meeting of a series of three such get-to-gethers was held Sunday when Eugene A. Clark delivered an address on "Character Training in the Elementary Schools." The two previous speakers were Dr. Frank W. Ballou and Garnett C. Wilkinson.

On the pages of mem'ry I see The little white house that graced the high billon And so beautifully bloomed in the spring. The snowball, syringa, and althea bush. And the flights that I took in the swing. My barefoot search in the branch for a tad-pole, The quest through the woods for the myrtle; How I watched, 'neath the tree, the wise ant at his work. The toadfrogs' weird songs in the creek by the road, The bees' hum, the bob-o-links' call. The ranting white geese, and the ducklings' faint cry, Now fondly I list to them all. Our reckless retreat from a snake in the bush, The chase of the flitting fire-fly, The jaunts that I took with my sister, so sweet, To the Fort (long forsaken) nearby. Weary with play in the hot, dusty road, The water we drew from the well— That draft, so refreshing, exquisitely cool. The frost-carressed pumpkin, the swift bounding hare, The oak tree in autumn's array, The golden rod, queen of the fast dying field, And the schoolhouse, that stood far away. How I wrote on the pane in my cold little room, Where often intruded a swallow. The crystalline splendor of ice-jewelled boughs My eyes with its radiance filled; While the frolicking brook, 'neath its blanket of ice, Lay asleep, 'tween the snow, covered hills. The comic snow-man, and the bon- fire we built. While the sleigh-bells rang out their delight; No fear of dread germs ever troubled our world As we coasted the hillside at night. Far below, cross the bridge gleam ed the bright city lights. That seemed full of mystery and charm. THE REPORTER'S COLUMN By W. H. S. AT A GREAT SAVING TO YOU, ON LIBERAL CREDIT TERMS. .

HOWARD CAB COMP'Y TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY The Howard Cab Co., a co-operative concern, is celebrating its first anniversary during the week of April 1 to April 8. The company, which started with five cabs on April 8, 1927, has now thirty cabs on the streets. They have more cabs in operation than other Negro companies in Washington. The company's office is at 521 Q street, northwest, where they employ three switchboard operators. They do their own repair work and painting; and for this work, they employ two mechanics and two painters. The garage is located at 1603 Sixth street, northwest. This company has fifteen members, who give employment to forty-five additional drivers. Garrett H. LaMont, president of the Howard Cab Co., says that his company has made as much progress in one year as any cab company in the city. Other officers of the company are: Theodore R. Meekins, vice-president and treasurer; Proctor E. Butler, secretary, and George H. Booker, general manager. BOOKS OF A. M. E. EXTENSION BD.

POLICE INFORMER IS CHARGEDWITHPERJURY Police of the ninth precinct, Tuesday, arrested John, Walker, 25, of 1250 Linden street, northeast, on a charge of perjury, after the man had sworn to an affidavit in which he asserted that he had purchased whiskey from Rose Carroll, of 644 Brewers court, northeast. Walker is said to have been a police informer. He is alleged to have furnished the police with information which led to several arrests on liquor charges in the northeast section. Monday, he visited the Carroll house, on the suggestion of police. At the house, it is asserted, he was told there was no whiskey to be had. Nothwithstanding, Walker is said to have appeared before the United States Commissoirer Turnage and swore to information, charging that he had bought whiskey at the house. PHYLLLIS WHEATLEY Y.W.C.A. DRIVE NETS $13,639,91 TO DATE "A Friendly Door on a City Street" through which the young women of Washington, as well as from other cities and countries may pass and receive comfort both bodily and mentally is located at 901 Rhode Island avenue, northwest. Many young women find a pleasant home there, and no better recommendation could they receive than from Phyllis Wheatley, when seeking employment. Young women need friends who will take an interest in them—in the company they keep, and in their general spiritual and moral welfare. Many girls have married from here just as happily as they might have from their mothers' homes. Strangers are often stranded in the city, they find their way to the Phyllis Wheatley and are taken care of until they can be started again on their journey. The building however large, is now too limited—more room is needed. The campaign for $20,500 is about $7,000 short. Will you not help secure this amount to keep the door open for women and girls?

Shadd, treasurer, to whom all checks should be made.

Diamond, and daughter, Alma L. Diamond. A host of relatives and friends. CARD OF THANKS CARD OF THANKS TAYLOR—We wish through the columns of The Tribute to extend our thanks to the many friends of our dear daughter, Alda C. Taylor, who departed this life March 23. The expressions of friendship towards her formed almost a continued chain from the time she arrived back home from Canada to the hour of her death. It is so gratifying to us to know that she had made so many friends, and such devoted ones, young folks as well as those of more advanced years. Her room was never, during the seven months, without some token of this devoted friendship. Then after her death the friends were ready and anxious to do whatever they could to help case the burdens of the funeral. The responsive feeling of friendship made us feel that after all life was worth living; it helped us to bear our bereavement more resignedly, and has given a renewed determination to live closer to the Lord and be ready to meet her when the call for us comes. IN MEMORIAM HEARN—In loving but sad remembrance of our loving and devoted husband and father, William Henry Hearn, who departed this life eleven years ago today, March 30, 1917. Our hearts are still sore, As time goes on We miss you more. We mourn for you, dear Henry. Though not with outward show, For hearts that mourn sincerely Mourn solemnly and long.

Hearn and Inez Dr. Delano's COCO-TAR Hair Grower Prince Hall Officers Entertained The officers of Prince Hall Chapter No. 5, O.E.S., were entertained by Mrs. Olive E. Brooks and Mrs. Abbie F.

GOLDEN TEXT: "If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."—Mark 8:34. This lesson marks the beginning of the second half of a six months' study in the book of Mark. The events which it records took place near the close of Christ's earthly life. Up to this time His disciples, who had been with Him nearly two years, had shown by neither word nor action any very definite conviction that He was the Messiah. With the cross looming ever plainer and plainer before Him, Jesus deemed it proper to get some definite understanding as to the disciples' conviction regarding His identity. While on the way to Caesarea Philippi, where our lesson finds Him, Jesus found an opportune time to question the disciples along this line. His question elicited from Peter, the spokesman of the twelve. SPECIAL ELK SERVICES A program was rendered at the special service for Elks last Sunday night at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church.

The Lesson Pre-View NDAY HOOL LESSON FIVE the great confession, "Thou art the Christ." The general teaching unit of this lesson is the Place of Suffering in the plan of salvation. The prophets give us two distinct pictures of the Messiah, one presenting Him as a victorious king, and the other as a suffering Savior. His mighty works and great popularity, as presented in the lessons of the past quarter, show how perfectly Jesus conformed to the prophetic picture of Messiahic triumph; in the present lesson Jesus fits Himself into the prophetic picture of Messiahic suffering. He had before told His disciples what was to happen to Him, but had not laid particular stress upon His imminent suffering and death. In this lesson He emphasizes His pending suffering and death as the central fact in His atoning life. Having ascertained the disciples' conviction with reference to His identity, He wished to impress upon them the fact that He was not only the conquering Messiah, but the suffering Messiah also, such as the prophets had pictured. The Messiah whom "The chastisement of our peace was upon," and by whose "Stripes we are healed." the Life of Our Saviour Before His Resurrection." The half-hour song service that precedes each sermon will be in charge of Lawrence Stanford and Mrs. Eva Pitts Preston. On Good Friday night, Rev. Waldron will baptize a number of candidates after the sermon. There are many persons, both in and out of the churches, who claim that the Hamites and the Negroes—their direct descendants—are cursed. Rev. Waldron will preach on this subject, by request, on next Sunday night. April 1, and all persons are invited to hear this sermon. At 11 o'clock, the pastor's subject will be, "Lessons from Palm Sunday."

JACKSON HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mrs. Rose A. Jackson, widow of the late John I. Jackson, and well known local Catholic, is at her home, 1507 Fifteenth street, northwest, in a serious condition as result of injuries she received in an automobile collision, last Sunday night. Mrs. Jackson, in company with her sister, Mrs. Annie E. Smith and Miss Emily Gant, a friend, was an route to Freedman's Hospital in the Jacksons' car. Her oldest son, Jerome, was the driver. The party was proceeding east on Trumball street, when at the intersection of Sixth street, the car in which they were riding was in collision with an automobile driven by Samuel W. Settlers, going south on Sixth street. Mrs. Jackson sustained a slight fracture of the skull and severe lacerations of the left shoulder. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, and later carried home. Mrs. Smith received minor injuries, while Mr. Jackson and Miss Gant escaped unhurt. Inquiries, into the condition of Mrs. Jackson made yesterday, revealed that she is much improved. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1928 PERRY HOWARD TO FIGHT TO FINISH PERRY HOWARD TO FIGHT TO FINISH (Continued from page 1) ocrats and 'lily-white' Republicans, who pretend that they want two militant political parties in the South as a camouflage to gain control of Federal patronage. "Efforts have been made to brow-beat, intimidate and even buy me to lay down as the party leader in my state. I have stood steadfast and shall carry the fight of the regular Republican organization in my state to the Supreme Court of my state where I am confident we will win." In Jackson, Miss., last Saturday the Republican state committee met and issued a call for a state convention to be held there on April 18 for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., June 12. Second State Call This is the second call issued for a state convention. The first call was for a convention to have been held on March 14. George W. Sheldon, former governor of Nebraska, and ten other "illy-whites" obtained an injunction from Chancellor T. Price Dale at Hattiesburg, Miss., on the ground that the call did not conform strictly with the Mississippi primary laws. The Howard organization took an appeal to the State Supreme Court. Last Saturday the question of advancing the appeal for an immediate hearing was argued in the Supreme Court. Monday the court decided to hear arguments in the case on April 23. Incidentally, the leading counsel for the Howard organization is J. Morgan Stevens, former member of the Supreme Court and now law partner of W. Calvin Wells, chairman of the Democratic State Committee. Judge Stevens contends that Chancellor Dale erred in granting the injunction. He declares that the court had no jurisdiction under the law, the things complained of being party affairs. Dangerous Precedent "If eleven white men can enjoin the Republican party," says Judge Stevens, "then eleven Negroes can enjoin the whole Democratic party, under the law." The injunction, he states, sets up a very dangerous precedent for the South. The Howard organization is recognized by Chairman William M. Butler of the Republican national committee as the only regular Republican party in Mississippi. Mr. Howard has a letter from Chairman Butler to that effect. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who is a leading candidate for the Republican nomination, seems to be playing politics with both the Howard organization and the "illy-white" group. The "illy-whitees" are said to be spending money in Mississippi freely. L. O. Crosby, a lumberman of Picayune, Miss., is said to be putting up this money for the "illy-whitees". Crosby is a Democrat and an ardent supporter of Secretary Hoover. He met Hoover when the Secretary was in Mississippi on flood relief. Crosby Makes Offer In his zeal to contribute to the nomination of Secretary Hoover, Mr. Crosby is said to have intimated that he would even patch up the differences between Mr. Howard and the "lily-whitees." Mr. Howard was advised of the olive branch offer extended by Mr. Crosby. A conference took place in New Orleans, La., between the two Crosby, it developed, wanted Howard to give him his place on the Republican national committee. That is the version that Mr. Howard's associates are telling in Mississippi, and the feud between Howard and Crosby is more pronounced than ever. The effect is that the regular Republicans are declaring that if the "lily-whitees" are for Hoover, they will be for Lowden or some other candidate. 1920s HERE is one of the loveliest dinner—and dance—brocks of the New Year. Slim simplicity above, and an ornate flare effect below, quite in the trend of the mode mark this design. For the drapes fall slightly below the hem of this slip over dress, thus forming the fashionable uneven line. And their graceful floating movement is repeated in a separate scarf worn about the neck. A soft girdle of the dress material completes this smart frock. It should be lovely in plains or printed georgette, silk veil, chiffon or marquette.

No better proof can be offered than the case last Friday when the Morgan and Lincoln rabies engaged in a general free-for-all directly across the street from the eighth precinct of "Baltimore's finest." That boy Sydnor in his first year of basketball looks like the real goods. He showed up very well against the Bears, Friday. Lil Pinkey Clarke, than whom there is no better forward to be found in collegiate basketball circles, "whooped 'em up" against Lincoln last Friday. Pinkey caged the oversized pill from far and near with one or both hands with exceptional consistency. Down on the links, Sunday, folks and wouldya believe that in spite of the fact that all dampness hasn't left the soil yet—the place was crowded with us duffers. When the golf bug bites, you usually stay bitten. PLAYERS FROM SEMINARY CONQUER COMMUNITY PLAYERS FROM SEMINARY CONQUER COMMUNITY An All Star aggregation made up mostly of players from Virginia Seminary and College outplayed a combination of Community and Elk players representing the Community Athletic Association at the Colonnade, last Thursday night. The score was 42-33. Through Ike Kendrick, former sport editor of the "Washington Sentinel," and manager of the Federal Clothing Store quint, it was arranged that the Washington athletes now attending Virginia Seminary should meet the Community Yellowjackets. The idea was to match the two young sensational centers, Slim Henderson and Slim Thomas. The former is the lanky Seminary pivotman and Thomas was placed at center for the local team for the purpose of bringing to a point the speculation as to which was the better. A variance of opinions has b on going the rounds the past two years. The thought proved a drawing card, and resulted in one of the largest crowds of the season. The consensus of opinion of those who saw the battle has it that the "Preeacher boy" outplayed his lanky rival of the local Elks. Thomas, some believe was handicapped because of the absence of the teammates with whom he has worked through this season. Ed Davis and Sonny Hawkins, formerly of the Carlisles, now of the Elks played with the Virginia team and aided materially in the outplaying completely of the locals. Ed Davis was the pastime's outstanding performer. HOWARD WINS TANK MEET FROM BALTIMORE Howard University, as part of the Saturday Athletic Program, held a most interesting and novel swimming meet under the direction of Mr. Clarence Pendleton, swimming instructor at the university. Howard easily outclassed her competitors, the boys from Baltimore, who were successful in taking only one first place, two seconds, and two thirds. Tarter, Harris, Guntt and Jones were the stars of the Howard ducks while the Smallwood brothers were the two members of the Baltimore team who showed to advantage. Summary Plunges for distance—Won by Harris (H) 37 feet; Swift (H) 2nd, 35 feet; Smith (H) and Smallwood (B) tied for third. 50 yd. Free Style—Won by Jones (H); Webb (H), 2nd; Shorte i (B), 3rd.

Davis, 409 Elm street HINTON STAR AS KAPPA DEFEATS ALPHA Captain Dennis Simpson and his tossers of Kappa Alpha Psi proved too much for the Alpha Phi Alpha "Lightning Five" in the fourth inter-fraternal battle of the Fraternity Basketball League at the Connellade, last Saturday. The score was 30-27. It was the hand of the lightly held and little feared Cecil Hinton which proved the turning point of the contest. The lad, from Nashville, Tenn., came through with an unexpected field goal right in the heat of the closing minutes which broke a deadlock score of 27-all and gave the Red and White quint the lead which it never relinquished. Andy Washington, captain of the Alpha lads, was the outstanding performer of the contest, while "Freak" Woods and Simpson were best for the winners.

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT INSTITUTE, W. Va.—Seventeen basketball teams represent high schools throughout the state of West Virginia, battled through three days of gruelling competition in the fourth annual basketball tournament staged by the West Virginia Collegiate Institute here last week. The Garnet High School quint, of Charleston, won the trophy. The tourney was run on a basis of lose two and drop out. Each team had to be defeated twice before it was out. In this manner the teams dwindled to two, Garnet and Douglass, the latter, a Huntington, W. Va., high school. The play-off was fast and exciting. The tournaments are held under the auspices of the West Virginia Colored High School Athletic Association, Harry R. Jefferson, president. The officials at the tourney were: Cum Posey, part owner of the Pittsburgh Loendi, and sport scribe; H. A. Keane, ex-Howard University star athlete, and E. P. Westmoreland, Armstrong High School football coach and well known local athletic authority. ARMSTRONG RIFLE MATCH A recent rifle match held under the joint auspices of the physical and military departments of the Armstrong High School between the male and female rifle teams resulted in a tie score. The match, staged for the purpose of stimulating interest in rifle and target activities, showed promise of being an incentive for more of its kind. Three participants, two, Florence Budd and Melba Savoy of the girls' team and Dallas Dickens, of the boys made 48 tallies each out of 50 chances. Each team had a total score of 428.

Fists Fly at M Lincoln Q BALTIMORE, Md.—The annual game between the basketball teams of Morgan College and Lincoln University, here last Friday night, went to the former by the close score of 24-20. The packed New Albert Auditorium became the scene of a near riot when the male portion of the cheering section of the local school clashed with the visiting rabble during the 15-minute intermission between halves. Lincoln led at the half, 12-11. The Morgan rabble disappeared and reentered the court in funeral procession. Headed by their cheerleader, the local rooters carried a mock coffin and signs predicting the death, that night of Lincoln hopes at the hands of the Bears. As soon as the procession hove in sight, a host of Lion rooters clambered from their seats at the top of the stands and formed a ring around the procession which was at that time engaged in a mock sermon over the "coffin" containing "Lincoln hopes." Linking hands so as to form a chain, the Chester lads began a dance; meantime chanting, "Bark, dogs, bark." One of the Morganites, apparently becoming indignant, left the funeral gathering and ran into the ring of Lincoln rooters in who appeared to be an effort to break the chain. Failing, he was knocked to the floor by the wildly dancing Pennsylvanians. Immediately the comrades of the Morgan boy rushed the Lincolnites, and for several minutes a general free-for-all ensued. The remainder of the rest period was spent in separating the forces and clearing the floor. One young lady, sitting on the first row, had a front tooth knocked out when she was struck during the first-flying. In the second half the battle was nip-and-tuck all the way. Though Lynk Jones was held scoreless from scrimmage his share in the point columns was well taken care of by Pinky Clarke. The Lion quint, fighting for all it was worth, played the Morganites to a standstill and had it not been for the uncanny performance of Clarke, the Chester lads might have emerged the victors.

NEGRO TRACK STAR REPRESENT PITT AT PENN GAMES PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Annel Charlie Westl That is the city among local track lovers as they amber out to seek in on the University of Pitt Bowl where these chilled days the school's cinder pounders are out getting into shape for the Penn games next month. Charlie West, now in professional school at Howard University, is that stellar amber; thatched athlete who proved himself the nemesis of aspirants for the national decathlon title while matriculating at Washington and Jefferson College a few short years back. The minds of local fans go back to those days spent by West in Washington, Pa., as their eyes, moving over the large field of scantily clad white boys, fall on the lithe, bronzed figure of "Speed" Utterback. Uttemberg is formerly a Lincoln University track star. He holds the respect of the coach and trackmen of Pitt, and looms as one of the Panthers' dependables. The records of Uttemberg in the various pentathlon events are impressive. They follow: 100 Metres (110 yards) 11 1-5 seconds. 400 Metres (440 yards) 50 1-5 seconds. 1500 Metres (a mile) 4 minutes, 45 seconds. High Jump, 6 feet, 2 inches. Broad Jump, 23 feet, 10 inches. Pole Vault, 11 feet, 6 inches. Javelin Throw, 145 feet. Hurdles (110 Metre) 16 4-5 seconds. HAMPTON'S BASEBALL TEAM By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, March 24—The Y.M.C.A. of Newport News, Va., was the first team of the season to feel the sting of defeat as given by the Hampton Blue and White baseball nine. Hampton possessed at all times a comfortable lead until the eight inning, when Finch, Hampton's pitcher, weakened and allowed the Y.M.C.A. to tie the score. Byrd, Hampton's captain, drove out a home run to bring in the winning score. The game ended 10-9 in favor of the big Blue and White aggregation. MORGAN GIRLS-Y.W.C.A. BALTIMORE.

The girls, who scored over the locals in decisive fashion in Washington just one week before, were disposed of when it became evident that the large crowd of Baltimore rooters completely be-wildered them.

AN OPEN LETTER TO REPRESENTATIVE MALCOLM C. TARVER (Editor's Note: Edward M. Syphax, of 159 Randolph place, northwest, writes an open letter to Representative Malcolm C. Tarver, relative to his recent speech on racial intermarriage.) Mr. Malcolm C. Tarver, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: I have just read a series of remarks, quoted from a recent speech delivered by yourself in the House of Representatives, in which you assailed the president of Howard University for his alleged advocacy of what you term the "rotten indecent doctrine of marriage between the white and African races." I have not read President Johnson's alleged remarks to which you take exception, so do not know whether or not he is guilty of the terrible charge you bring against him. I do know however, that if you are correctly quoted, you are reflecting most seriously upon the integrity of both your constituency and yourself, when you term as "rotten, indecent and damnable" any proposition that the children of a union of a so-called "white" person and a person of African descent, should be born in wedlock instead of being with illegitimacy. The history of Georgia is known nationally and internationally to be one long record of disregard of all laws against indecent living, cruelty, civic injustice and general corruption; a gaunt of openly condoned proposition, concubinage, and the very race amalgamation of which you complain. Can you conceive of anything more "rotten, indecent and damnable" than the social system under which a "southern gentleman," the vaunted exponent of chivalrous respect for womanhood, may be the known father of a family whose other parent is of African descent, and yet be free to solicit in marriage the hand of a "southern lady?" When you refer to "African," I do not know whether you have in mind the people of Morocco, Algeria, Tunis, Tripoli, Egypt, Abyssinia the Zulus or the Kaffirs, etc., but, my dear sir, do you know that to any of the above named people who have had the training and enjoyed the cultural advantages supposed to be possessed by The East India Hair Grower Will promote a Full Growth of Hair.

LYONS 316 N. Central Dept. 8 Oklahoma City, Okla. an American congressman, you yourself would be an object of contempt? What percentage of the natives of Georgia, do you suppose are of unmixed Caucasian descent? It must be borne in mind that countless millions of Europeans are of African descent. You surely are aware that a stream of African blood has poured up from the heart that continent, across the Mediterranean, across Western Europe especially, thence, across the North Atlantic to this country, in an unceasing tide for hundreds of years. Another stream has poured across the South Atlantic into South America, thence up through Central America, Mexico and through your own "Sunny South." Do you remember the congressman, who, in language more forceful than cultured, turned the light of "pitiless publicity" upon the fact that " fifteen cents will buy enough beans to make soup for every white man in New Orleans?" I have spent a life time collecting evidence that the amalgamation of the white and negroid elements of the United States citizenry is an actual matter of fact, rather than a matter to be prevented. It is time to explode the old theory, dear to the southern heart, that Negro slavery marked the advent of African blood into this country, that Negroes only were held in slavery, and that Negroes passively endured slavery. On the contrary, at the time the Dutch slaver landed around 1620, large numbers of persons of African blood were living in this country, doing well financially, and commanding respect of their fellow citizens. Since those days, the system of wholesale prostitution of the most sacred of family relations, characteristic of your section, has enormously quickened the flow of African blood and given a tremendous imptus to that amalgamation of which you now complain, and of which your own state is possibly the most shining example. That white men and Indians were enslaved, that Negro slavery was marked by an unbroken series of revolts of slaves against their oppressors, are now becoming more generally known facts. With the raising of educational standards among the masses of southern "whites", the misstatements and false race propaganda that have long been the southern politicians' stock-in-trade are losing their power, and the real facts will have to be faced. Do you not know, my dear sir, that in every stratum of American life, legislative, judicial, executive, business and academic, there is a constantly increasing number of people of African decent and admixture of blood? You are meeting them daily in your business and social life, and in your home. Your children are marrying with them and rearing countless millions of Negro children, and this has been going on for hundreds of years. You surely do not believe that the unbridled license, adultery and bastardy so characteristic of your section could escape retributive justice at the hands of an outraged Providence. Merely shutting your eyes to the facts in the case may be good politics, but is a pretty serious violation of the principles of common sense. There are far more "rotten and damnable" situations in the country than that whose advocacy, alleged, by the brilliant young president of Howard University has so offended you. If the words of the late great exponent of the "rights of small nations," and "open covenants, openly arrived at," mean anything at all, then the system by which so many members of the Federal and state legislatures are illegally placed in office, constitute a far greater national disgrace. When you speak of the African are you aware that a modern classification of races places the black Abyssinian in the list of "white" races, while another claims that only the fair haired blue-eyed members of the human race are white while the rest are negreid? If it were practicable for the "solid South" to send to the Federal Congress men of the attainments and culture of President Johnson of Howard, the backwar section of this country would gain immensely in material progress and national and international prestige. In no other section could such a ridiculous legislative and judicial vaudeville program as the Scopes' affair have been staged, though truth compels the admission that much good has grown out of it, in that the eye of "pitiless publicity" not only national but international, has been turned upon the educational needs of your section. Finally, Mr. Congressman, do you represent a Christian commonwealth, a God-fearing people, or the opposite? If the latter, then you and those whose minds "go along" with yours are simply cluttering up the paths of truth and morality and will be swept aside. If the former, then in justice to yourself and your constituents, cease trying to oppose your little self and will to the manifest operation of natural law, sometimes called destiny, sometimes, fate, but however called, is ever recognized as the Power that created the universe and established the laws governing it, which shall operate in spite of the petty fuming of bigoted, prejudiced and narrow-minded men. Permit me to say that in none of the above do I mean to be discourseous. I have aimed to avoid such language as "rotten" and "damnable" except where quoted. I merely wish to suggest that you read the "writing on the wall" and govern your speeches and actions accordingly. Very respectfully, Edward M. Syphax SPORTS KANSAS MONARCHS TO PLAY WILEY COLLEGE MARSHALL, Tex. Mar. 17.—The Wiley Athletic Association through its manager H. J.

SHAW OPENS SEASON WITH VICTORY RALEIGH, N.C., March 24—Shaw University defeated Kittrell College here today 9-8 in a game which required ten innings to decide the winner. It was the first collegiate game of the season for the Bears, and they displayed a great fight to overcome a four-run lead which resulted from a walk and two errors in succession. The Bears with Black and Baldwin leading, and Gwyn letting the Kittrellites down with six hits proved too much for the visitors. N. C. COLLEGE "EAGLES" LOSE THREE IN A ROW DURHAM, N.C.—After a disastrous trip, in which the "Eagles" last week lost to A. & T. College, 9-6; to Livingstone College, 7-6 and to Johnson C. Smith, 6-7, the local team will clash with A. & T. in a return engagement on their home grounds Monday, opening their season of inter-collegiate games at home and incidentally making an effort to avenge their defeat at the hands of the former. ORIENTAL'S PRACTICE The champion Oriental Tigers baseball team began training for the coming season Sunday, March 26, under the direction of Manager McAdams, and Captain Marty Lewis. The squad of last season with several new members displayed the same spirit in their initial workout that carried them to the local heap last season. Evidence of a powerful offense was shown by the way the veterans slammed the horsehide to the open spaces comprising the outfield. With several large attractions pending in the near future the boys are hustling to be on edge to give their prospective opponents a tough argument. Several dates on the schedule are open, and any clubs desiring games may communicate with William P. Scott, 1413A South Capitol St., S.W., or phone, Lincoln 2014-W or Atlantic 867.

YOKELEY BEGINS NINTH IN- NING RALLY THAT BEATS DURHAM 7-6 SALISBURY, N.C.—The Livingstone Bears snatched victory from the very jaws of defeat in a ninth inning rally in the game last Saturday with North Carolina College of Durham. The final score was 7-6. This is the first time that the Bears have won from Durham in the history of the two schools. The boys from Durham by taking advantage of three hits and an error, chalked up two scores in the third inning; another tally was put across by Durham in the sixth and three more markers were added, as a result of 3 errors and two hits, in the seventh inning. Livingstone's lone score up until the ninth inning came in the seventh. Yokeyle doubled to left field and Berry brought him in with a double. In the ninth inning, the fireworks started. With one man on base, Yokeley, the youthful Baltimore Black Sox twirler, met a low fast one and drove it out of the park for a home run; from then on, hits rained off of the Bears' bats. When the smoke of the final frame had cleared, Pearson, the Durham pitcher, had been nicked for six hits that counted for six ecores.

Howard ARMSTRONG BASEBALL Coach Cato W. Adams, of the Armstrong High baseball team, has announced that his squad for the 1028 campaign will be a composite aggregation with several of the players alternating at different positions. Red Dabney, an outfielder, will be found at third as often as in left. Lynn, a pitcher, will alternate at second with Queen, a catcher. King and Campbell, pitchers, are dividing their time in the box and chasing flies with Henderson, who sometimes goes behind the bat. Fiqua, pitcher; R. Jones, first baseman; Capt. Johnson, shortstop, and Perry, outfielder, are the only candidates who will be confined to one position during the first part of the season. While Snowden, Greenfield, Lee, Nash, Fountain, and several others of the new candidates are not out of the race, they have been slower rounding into form. Games with Shaw Junior High and Phelps Vocational school are scheduled for next week. HAMPTON 1928 BASEBALL SCHEDULE HEAVY With what is believed to be one of the best possibilities for a championship team, Charlea H Williams, physical director, has outlined a heavy schedule with C. L. A. A. teams. The services of Vernal Brown, former star third sacker, has been secured as coach for the nine. Last year he produced a team that had from all appearances championship making. This year a number of the men are back, among them captain Williams, McGowan, Captain Byrd, Murray, Quinn, and Finch. These men are hard hitters as well as fielders. The other three positions are filled by such good men, that the coaches are confident they will help bring the baseball championship to Hampton.
