Police Search for Missing Dunbar Student FIRST in Advertising and Circulation LEFT HOME TWO WEEKS AGO; FEAR FOR HIS SAFETY Montryo McClam, age 14, a student at Dunbar High School, is missing. He was last seen by his mother, Friday morning, March 23. She left him at their home, 1502 Caroline street, northwest, dressing for school on that day. The boy failed to attend school and has not been seen since. His mother could give no reason for his leaving except that he was possibly grieved over the fact that she had not been able to purchase him a cadet suit. His mother first thought after he failed to return home Friday night, that he had gone to New York City where his father and an aunt lives. She immediately got in touch with them but neither of them have seen or heard of the boy. The case has been turned over to the police department and all cities along the seaboard have been notified. Mrs. McClam stated that her son is not a strong boy physically and that she did not favor him becoming a member of the cadet corps. She stated that he is subject to fainting spells at times. She fears for his safety because of this fact. The boy is fourteen years old; about 4 feet in height; he has a light brown complexion with redish brown hair. He graduated from Shaw Junior High School in February and immediately entered Dunbar. Persons with any information about the missing boy are asked to communicate with his mother at 1502 Caroline street, northwest, or phone her at Wisconsin 3717, or notify the Tribune office, Potomac 1667. JACKSON TO DIE APRIL 17, COURT RULES IN DENIAL JACKSON TO DIE APRIL 17, COURT RULES IN DENIAL Philip Jackson must die for criminally assaulting Mrs. Daisy Welling, white, in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18, 1927, the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia decided Monday. His execution is set for April 17. If the sentence is carried out on that date, Jackson will be the first man to be electrocuted in the District of Columbia. Hanging as the mode of capital punishment was abolished by an act of Congress January 30, 1925. The appellate court in its decision affirmed an order of the District Supreme Court denying Jackson's petition for an inquisition into his sanity. The court held that Justice A. A. Hoehling acted within his discretion in refusing to submit to a jury the question of the sanity of Jackson. Justize Robb's Opinion After reviewing the procedure in the case, the opinion handed down by Justice Charles H. Robb, states that the question "is whether the refusal of the court below to submit to a jury the question of the mental responsibility of the defendant constitutes an abuse of the discretion with which the court was clothed. "In connection with the theoretical showing made in behalf of the defendant, it was the duty of the court to consider that prior to the commission of this offense it apparently had not occurred to anyone that the defendant should be restrained of his liberty because of insanity; that even when he was put on trial for a shockingly brutal crime it did not occur to either his counsel or to the court that he was mentally irresponsible; and, finally, that his demeanor under the ordeal of his trial, and particularly his examination and cross-examination, did not suggest, in the slightest degree, that defendant was not fully and entirely responsible from a mental standpoint. Court Correct "And when it is considered that the real question to be determined by the court was not whether the defendant had manifested idiosyncracies but whether on the showing made and the surrounding facts and circumstances a doubt existed to his ability to distinguish right from wrong, the correctness of the court's conclusion is apparent." The assault on Mrs. Welling occurred in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18, 1927. At the time she was on her way home from a hotel where she was employed as a telephone switchboard operator.

PUBLISHED W ce Sea POLITICAL PR IN HOOVE ON SEGR By Louis R. Lautier Segregation of colored employees in the census bureau of the Commerce Department has been abolished. Colored clerks last Thursday were scattered throughout the bureau. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, who is a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, is believed to be responsible for the order doing away with segregation in the census bureau. Current reports that staunch supporters of the candidacy of Secretary Hoover are aiding financially and otherwise the movement to establish a lily-white Republican party in the South are said to be affecting his candidacy in northern and border states in which colored Republicans will vote in the primaries. The charge that segregation of colored clerks existed in the Department of Commerce was also being made in these states. Political Move In order to placate colored Republicans in the states in which primaries will be held and to hold colored delegates to the Republican national convention from southern states, Secretary Hoover is believed to have ordered the abolition of segregation in the Census bureau. A statement issued at the Commerce Department last Saturday explaining the distribution of colored clerks in the census bureau says: "The Bureau of the Census in the course of its work developed a division daling with statistics, particularly affecting the colored people, and in a desire to extend employment to colored members of the staff if placed this division in their control, and naturally the whole division was concentrated in one room. "Some" Complaint "Recently some complaint has been made that it amounted to segregation, which was against the orders and the practice of the Department of Commerce. "Upon the return from Europe of the Director of the Census a few days ago, the matter was called to his attention, and he at once distributed the colored members through the staff. Some twelve or fourteen persons were involved." As yet there has been no denial by the management of the Hoover candidacy that Secretary Hoover and his friends are aiding the lily-white movement in the South. Prisoner Tries To Commit Suicide The Fire Rescue Squad, Freedmen's Hospital physicians, and officers of the Eighth Police Precinct combined to bring Robert Hughes, a prisoner to life following his attempt at suicide in the eighth precinct cell, last Friday evening. Hughes, who gave his address as 2244 Eleventh street northwest, was arrested at 11 o'clock, Friday morning. At 6:50 p. m., privates C. A. Dodson and R. A.Belfield discovered him in a sitting posture on the cell bench with his shirt tied tightly around his neck. The man had evidently tried to hang himself as one of the bars, the one to which the shirt had been tied had been broken. The policemen cut Hughes loose, and immediately notified Freedmen's and the rescue squad. When the firemen arrived and put their pulmotor into service the man was revived. It was several hours, however, before he was fully recovered. Following further treatment at the hospital Hughes was returned to his cell at the eighth precinct. In police court, Saturday, he was sentenced to thirty days. other postponement of his execution. The mandate from the Court of Appeals will not reach the District Supreme Court until the day set for his execution, and it is probable that Jackson will be given another stay. WOMAN, 106 YRS, OLD NEVER SICK, DIES After more than 106 years of life, during which she had never been confined to bed with sickness, Mrs. Betsy Smith, ex-slave, died at her residence, 1152 21st street, northwest, early last Sunday morning. According to her granddaughter Mrs. Pearl Smith, until last Saturday evening Mrs. Smith had never experienced any serious illness. She lived through more than a century, and the only noticeable Mrs. BETSY SMITH, who died at the age of 106 years. effects of her long life were that she was partially blind and almost deaf. Mrs. Smith was born in Charlottesville, Va. *She was a victim of slavery prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, and a "Mammy" of the children of several of Washington's most prominent white families. Horace Carter, 74, the son of Mrs. Smith by the first of her two marriages, who found his mother dead in bed about 2 a.m., declares that among the charges of Mrs. Smith were the children of Dr. Richard Wilner, nationally-prominent eye specialist; Admiral Richard Wainwright, U.S.N., and W. T. Darson, formerly of this city but now of Chicago, and several other families. During her eye trouble, she was treated by Dr. Wilner at the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. Besides the son, Mrs. Smith is survived by a daughter, Emma Carter, about 78 years old, and three grandchildren, who are Mrs. Pearl Smith, Mrs. Bessie Dickerson and Mrs. Effie Arthur. SEGREGATION IN ST. LOUIS P. O. CAFETERIA DEFEATED ST. LOUIS. Mo., Mar. 31—An effort at segregation in the cafeteria operated by the Service Relations Council of the St. Louis Post Office has been defeated through the activity of the National Alliance of Postal Employees. Roy O. Wulhoff, president, and chairman of the welfare committee directed the attention of First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett to the matter of segregation after failing to receive recognition from the local postmaster. Louis Brehm, Director of Service Relations, Washington, to whom the case was referred, made a visit to St. Louis and issued instructions that any segregation activity in the cafeteria, whether implied or actual, be abolished. The N.A.P.E. is accomplishing great work for the personnel of the postal service in all sections of the country. DEFENDER'S ATTORNEY VISITS CITY N. K. McGill, attorney for the Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill., was a business visitor here last Friday and Saturday. He was the guest of Joseph H. Maxwell, proprietor of Maxwell's Book Shop, 2018 Georgia avenue, northwest. Mrs. Lenora Ruffin Hines who lives at the Whitelaw Hotel, and Mrs. Ethel Fitzhugh Norman, 1933 Thirteenth street, northwest, are continuing their legal battle over the estate of the late Rev. Moses W. D. Norman, who pastored the Metropolitan Baptist Church until his death on December 26, 1926. Mrs. Ruffin, his niece, last Thursday asked the District Supreme Court to restrain Mrs. Norman, his widow, from conveying encumbering or transferring the property at No. 1933 Thirteenth street and to require the widow to account for the rents received by her from this property. Mrs. Ruffin claims that she is entitled to all the real estate which the Rev. Norman owned at the time of his death, subject to the dower rights of Mrs. Norman, in the absence of any valid disposition of this property. She is seeking to break the will made by Rev. Norman on August 9, 1926. She charges the widow with exerting undue influence upon Rev. Norman in having him to execute a deed conveying the Thirteenth street property to her. Rev. Norman became suddenly ill on July 19, 1926, and from then until his death, Mrs. Ruffin states, remained in a weakened and dehabilitated condition and was mentally incapable of transacting any business. Mrs. Ruffin is represented at Attorney Nita S. Hinnan. FLANAGAN TWICE INDICTED BY GRAND JURY Two new indictments were returned by the grand jury last Friday against Clinton T. Flanagan, a fugitive from justice. These indictments charge Flanagan with forgery. On October 3, 1926, he is alleged to have forged the name of Emelia Murray to a promissory note for $1,500 and on November 13, 1926, forged her name to another promissory note for $1,000. The second indictment charges that Flanagan forged the name of Mollie B. Hall on October 45, 1926, to a check, for $1,039.30 drawn in her favor by the Realty Appraisal and. Title Company. A second count in this indictment alleges that he forged the name of Mrs. Hall to a promissory note for $1,200. Flanagan pleaded guilty to two charges of forgery and uttering in the criminal division of the District Supreme Court on November 12, 1927. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy sent him on November 25 to serve four years in the penitentiary, two years on each charge. The sentences were to run consecutively. Flanagan was sent to the United States Industrial Reformatory at Lorton, Va., to serve his sentence. He was made a trusty. On the night of March 21, he escaped. Police believe, agents have taken up the search for him. Prior to his arrest, and sentence to prison, the elusive Mr. Flanagan moved on the borders of Washington's best society and the underworld. He posed as a real estate operator with offices and an apartment at 143 D street northeast. His business was boot legging. Flanagan is no ordinary crook. Police regarded him as the brains of a plot, which had for its just the placing of deeds of trust on unemcumbered property without the knowledge or consent of the owner. It was this scheme which drew Flanagan into the meshes of the law. He and two accomplices forged the name of Mrs Violet B. Warfield to a deed of trust, promissory notes and checks. When the checks were presented at the bank for payment, his accomplices were arrested. Flanagan fled to New York where he was later arrested and returned here. Bishop Matthews W. Clair, Sr., was in the city last Sunday and occupied the pulpit at the Asbury Church. His son, Rev. M. W. Clair, Jr., a pastor in Denver, Col., was also here and assisted in giving communion at the church. He also delivered the sermon at the night services. By William O. Walker "A politician thinks of the next election: a statesman, of the next generation." — James Freeman Clarke. Unfortunately few Negroes in Washington can be classed in the first category, and none at all in the last. The sleeping giant was never more strikingly illustrated than among the Negroes in this city—the capital of the nation when it comes to politics. At present, in every state where Negroes reside, they are planning for the election of delegates to the coming national convention of the Republican party, which, as all know, is yet the party of the bulk of the voters. In some places, delegates have already been selected and slates made up. However, in Washington, the Negro is sleeping, unmindful of the privilege and right that is his as well as other citizens' to elect two delegates and alternates from the District of Columbia to this coming convention. The Republican National Committee has already issued the call under which delegates are to be elected. This call specifically specifies how these various elections are to be held. As to the qualifications of those eligible to participate in the election of these delegates, the call states: "The voters of the several states and of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands, and the District of Columbia who are in accord with the principles of the Republican Party, believe in its declaration of policies, and are in sympathy with its aims and purposes, are invited to unite under this call in the selection of delegates to said convention." As to the delegates, the call states: "Delegates and alternates to the National Convention shall be duly qualified voters of their respective states and territories and in the case of the District of Columbia, residents therein." Under these rules, every Negro, male and female, over 21 years of age, and who professes himself or herself to be "in accord with the principles of the Republican Party" are eligible. There are over 20,000 Negroes in the city of Washington eligible to participate in the election of the delegates from the District. Since 1912, there has been a gradual but determined effort to ease the Negro out of the party councils in this city. In 1912, the delegates were elected by a city-wide referendum. Polling places were distributed all over the city and the citizens went to them during the hours of voting and cast their ballots for their respective candidates. In 1916, the so-called bosses at (Cont'ued on page 4) WOMEN ON JURY APPEAL SOUGHT FOR MURDERER WOMEN ON JURY APPEAL SOUGHT FOR MURDERER Attorney Abner Siegal (white), counsel for Malcolm Howard, sentenced to die for murder of a young woman, questioned the constitutionality of the presence of women on juries in the District of Columbia, in an appeal in the District Court of Appeals, Wednesday. Claiming that two women sat on the jury in February of 1927, when his client was found guilty of murder in the first degree, Attorney Siegal argued that reversal of the conviction and death sentence of Howard should be considered. Mrs. Lillian Green, one of the jurors, is the wife of a deputy United States marshal, and the point was made that her support came from the Government and disqualified her for jury service. Counsel also contended that the act making women eligible but not compelling them to serve is invalid as class legislation, since it makes all men who can qualify serve, but leaves it optional with the women. Assistant United States Attorney Fihellely appeared for the Government and defended the act, while Attorney Abner Siegal asked for the reversal of the conviction and death sentence of Howard. JAS. LECOUNT CHESTNUT, FORMER LOCAL TEACHER, DIES IN BROOKLYN, N. Y. DUBOIS-CULLEN WEDDING TO BE EASTER MONDAY NEW YORK CITY, April 6—The wedding of Miss Yolande DuBois, only daughter of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and Mrs. Du Bois, to Contee Cullen, noted poet, will be celebrated on Monday, April 9. There will be two ceremonies—the Methodist, conducted by the groom's father Rev. Dr. Cullen, and the Episcopal, performed by Rev. Dr. Frazier Miller of Brooklyn. The maid-of-honor will be Margaret Welmon, of Brooklyn, N.Y. The sixteen bridesmaids will be Etta Burwell, Audrey Berry, Constance Murphy, Mae Wright, Ruth De Mond, Hilda Anderson, Kathryn McCracken, Elizabeth McCard, Harriet Pickens, all of Baltimore, Helen Reynolds, of Philadelphia; Alice K. Mundy, of Chicago; Gladys Bryan, of Memphis; Thelma Garland, of Boston, and Ruth Mc.Ghee, Roberta Bosley and Anna Welman, of New York. The Maryland girls are members of the Moles Club of Baltimore. The wedding will carry out the effect of a rainbow in pastel shades, and promises to be one of the most beautiful of the season. The couple will sail, in June, for a year in Europe, where Mr. Cullen will write for the Guggenheim Foundation, from which he has just received a fellowship. CONDITIONS ARE MUCH IMPROVED IN HAITI - REPORT The rehabilitation of Haiti is progressing at an almost unbelievable pace and the prosperity and happiness of the Haitian people have already been materially increased, General John H. Russell, American High Commissioner at Port-au-Prince, declares in his annual report to Secretary of State Frank B. Kellog, which was made public last Monday. "From the point of view of customs revenues," General Russell reports, "the year has not been all that could be desired, but as a result of the sound financial policy in operation, and the accuracy with which financial estimates have been made, not only have the budgetary expenses been met, but the extensive and progressive program of development, including the rapid retirement of the public debt, has been continued without recourse to the substantial reserve fund wisely carried as insurance against crop failure or other calamity." The visit of the Secretary of War and other distinguished persons to Haiti during the year is noted, but no mention is made of the exclusion of Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, who charges that he was kept out of Haiti on orders of the State Department acting through its puppet, President Borno. Haitian Contract A contract has been offered to the Haitian government by American capitalists to place a diversion dam in the Arbonite river and irrigate the land that is now parched and unworkable. This project will place under irrigation within easy distance of a port thirty thousand acres of banana, cotton, or cane soil. No improvements in the work of the Haitian judiciary were noted in the past year. "Only a complete and drastic purification of that body," reports General Russell, "can materially improve its existing lamentable and disgraceful condition." President Borno since the submission of this report has appointed a new supreme court. Only three of the ten members of the old court were reappointed. The Haitian educational system while developing and expanding has maintained a high standard, says General Russell. Rural farm (Continued on page 2) Let our classified column rent that vacant room.

Death followed an operation for appendicitis. Mr. Chestnut was born in Washington, in 1885, the only child of Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Chestnut. Though he was exceedingly pugnacious at times, Mr. Chestnut gained a large number of acquaintances and admirers through his many qualities. He was an exceptional scholar and his knowledge of the English language was an asset to his life vocations. Wins Prizes Following his completion of the preparatory school course at Wooster Academy, Massachusetts, Mr. Chestnut entered Amherst College, where on two occasions he won the prize of $100 for the best commencement address by a student. Graduating from Amherst, cum laude in the class of 1907, he went to Claflin University, Orangeburg, S.C., where he taught for one year. Leaving Claflin, Mr. Chestnut returned to Washington, where he entered the Miner Normal School, graduating from there June, 1909. Mr. Chestnut received an appointment in the Slater graded school, in July, 1909. Following his transference from Slater, Mr. Chestnut served brief terms as teacher in the Deanwood, Jones, Douglass and Simmons schools. Enters Newspaper Work In 1915 Mr. Chestnut was promoted to the Armstrong High School as an instructor in English. He went from Armstrong to the Dunbar High School where he remained until May 31, 1921, when he resigned to enter the newspaper business. As eastern district manager for the Chicago Defender, Mr. Chestnut proved himself a most capable manager. Later he became a writer of wide reputation. At the time of his death he was operating a domestic credit bureau, here. As president of the Musolti Club, from 1920 to 1921, Mr. Chestnut purchased the present home of the club at 1327 R street, northwest. He is survived by his wife, Margaret E. Chestnut, a teacher in the New York schools; by two daughters, Annie Laurie Chestnut and Katherine Chestnut, and by his parents. Driver Exonerated In Man's Death Driver Exonerated In Man's Death "Accidental death," was the verdict returned by a coroner's jury, Tuesday at an inquest into the death Monday of Harry Skidmore, white, of 1805, Railroad avenue southeast. Skidmore was an employee of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. He lost his life when he was thrown from the rear of a truck, driven by William Minor, also an employee of the same office. The truck was making a turn at First street and Maryland avenue northeast. Minor lives at 414 Second street southeast. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS POINTS OF ORDER AGAINST HOWARD ITEMS MAY END By Louis R. Lautier The House bill to amend the incorporation act of Howard University by authorizing Federal appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of the university was favorably reported Monday by Senator James Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, chairman of the Senate committee on education and labor. The committee recommended that the bill be passed without amendment. A similar bill was reported favorably by this committee in the last session of Congress, but no action was taken on it. The perennial pastime of making points of order in the House against appropriations for Howard University is believed to be nearing an end. The House last Thursday adopted a bill amending the Howard University incorporation act to authorize annual appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of the university. Items for Howard University in the Interior Department appropriation bill have been stricken out each year in the House on the point of order that the appropriation is not authorized by existing law. The Senate would restore the items. Conferences on the part of the House would concur in the Senate action, and the House itself would agree to the conference report. The object of this bill is to do away with this procedure. Party and sectional lines were broken in the vote on the bill. The vote in favor of the measure was 226 to 94. Sixty Democrats voted for the bill. Several of them were from southern states. Southern (Continued on page 4) 1100 CHICKENS DIE IN POULTRY HOUSE FIRE A blaze in the brooder-house of William M. Johnson, Arlington, Va., poultry farmer, last Saturday night, destroyed 1100 chickens and two buildings for a loss of very nearly $4,000. Mr. Johnson is the father of Mrs. Dorothy Johnson Willis, a teacher in the Sumner School, here. The fire is believed to have been caused by an overheated pipe resulting from the use of a new type of stove. The brooder-house is where poultry farmers place baby chickens for the purpose of developing them. The building must be kept warm at all times. Mr. Johnson had recently purchased the stove, and had made a fire in it in preparation for the arrival Monday of 1500 baby chickens, which the owner had ordered. Several hours later the pipe became overheated and the fire, catching to the large amount of straw present, spread quickly. The absence of a fire hydrant and other facilities handicapped firemen in their attempt to fight the flames, and it was not until all of the brooder-house and practically the whole main chicken house had been demolished, that the blaze was extinguished. N. Y. WOMAN LAWYER TO TEST CIVIL RIGHTS NEW YORK—Ruth Whitehead Whale, the only active Negro woman lawyer in New York, fieled suit Tuesday, against the Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc., and the Old Domination Line, Inc., for alleged violation of the Civil Rights Law. Mrs. Whale stated in her declaration that in June, 1926, she had engaged by phone a de luxe suite for herself and her husband for passage from New York to Norfolk. When she went on board, however, she was told by the purser that there was no room on the salon deck. Because of that they were relegated to a segregated Negro section. The defendants claim that the State Civil Rights law has no juris- diction over interstate commerce. The suit is for $1,000. eae 55 Se ee ee ee a $$$ — f° ‘ ° b | Mashington.&Dribune Published Weekly at Washington. D.C. by ai Liberal. THe WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHIXG | ‘ 220 U Street, RoW.

BOB CHURCH AND BEN DAVIS Postmaster General New is ab- solutely right when he says, “I do not believe that Bob Church took a nickel from Tom Taylor or any- body else,” as he said in an inter- view with the Memphis press, this week. There is just as much of falsehood and of “frame up” in that story about Bob Church, as there is in the story about Ben Da- vis and the deceased postmaster at Dougias, Georgia.

Letter to the Editor ENOUGH OF CHARITY To the Editor: I quote from your editorial of March 30, 1928, under the caption, “Getting and Giving,” the follow- ing: “..... by_all’ means, start a campaign in every lodge, club, or- ganization and home, looking to the regular and heartily supported ap- Propriation of a definite proportion of the income for charity.” ‘The idea expressed in the fore- going quotation—charity, in the sense of alms—is one of the great- est deterrents confronting colored Americans. ‘It has done more to curb: independence—mass_and_in- dividual—than anything else. We, as individuals and as a race, are forever hoping and expecting some- one to give us something. It is the premier thought in our minds.

LIC SCHOOLS, DIVISIONS 10 TO 13 By Wellington Adams (Music editor of The Tribune) The Philosophy Underlying the Music Program While it has long been the claim of the leaders of thought that edu- cation, properly understood, has to do with the discovery and ‘the de- velopment of all the aptitudes and abilities of the child, it is only very recently that pedagogical practice has revealed convineing evidence te show that the child, and not the subject, has been the centet of in- terest. We might safely say that within the last decade or s0, the child has actually participated in the selection and validation of ob- jectives, aims and the even stand. ards in'education. And, as a nec essary outgrowth of such proce: dure, much attention is being paid to his physical, moral, and spirit- ual needs. The classroom .teacher is specially trained to reach every pupil, even if in varying degrees, through every subject in the pro- gram of studies. No teacher car make a sincere claim to having gen- uine interest in every child unless she thoroughly exploits every sub ject in her quest for agencies ‘through which to reach and liber- -at~ the child. Director Aids Teacher It is therefore the purpose o! the director of, music to aid th THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1928 ‘ween, Thankegiving, Christeas ‘ween, anksgiving, Christmas also ‘such occasions as Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, St Valentine, Easter, May day, anc Flag day. The director feels tha these aims ought to be set up. in terms that are expressive of the child’s background, interests, and point of view. __ The activities leading up to and including the occasions meiutioned above make a strong, direct. ap- peal to the children from the kin- cergarten through the. sixth grade. Children are ever eager +o express themselves. The teachers are equally eager to train the child so that he can translate the symbols of this and other very expressive languages. There are tools and skills. to be mastered; there are attitudes and ‘appreciations to be inculcated. No one desires to lose sight of these facts. But the, part of good teaching and supervision is to make the goals, both ultimate and immediate, so intimate with the child’s natural life as to result in his wanting to perform. satis- factorily in music because music brings to his life happy. experi- ences, and happy means of expres- sion which he both understands and desires. ‘The General Idea In view of the -facts men- tioned, the directors submit that the music work ought to be inte- grated. They are breaking away from all drill’ that is introduced formally for drill's sake. They re- ‘alize thas some sight reading work ought to be ‘accomplished in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. But they are going to strive in all grades to generate interest, through pupil-participation, pupil- responsibility, in, activities that are native to child-life and, with this interest. as a motivating force, strive further to make the child understand that he cannot enjoy music unless he understands, ac- cepts and measures up to stand- ards set for bis grade. ‘A program such as the one de- scribed above depends for its successful achievement, upon the resident teacher, who has stud- ‘ied her “children from every conceivable angle; who keeps her sensitive, - guardian eye trained |upon each child throughout the day; who. initiates projects which she is trying to use to help fit each child to meet life situations. | The music demonstration teacher | would have to reside in each build- | ing, or operate within small units, meet each grade daily, observing the working out of projects, study- ing individual children more inti- mately than she can during a one- half hour visit every ten days. ‘This would require five or six times as many demonstration teachers as they now have, a situation’ which would not be desirable. Revised Courses The Board of Education has re- vised the course of study at ‘the Normal School; is making quite an outlay of funds to prepare teachers ‘as they are prepared in other pro- gressive cities to teach successfully | the classroom subjects including | fine and industrial arts, nature | study, health habits, music, etc. | The ‘director does ‘not, ‘recom- mend the adoption of any .admin- istrative plan simply because it is of folk songs, etc. All of this work is based upon individual differences | in vogue elsewhere, but rather, be- | cause the vital needs growing out | of our ‘situations demands such | practices, ‘The subjects are placed | on the program of the teacher in | all grades from the kindergarten through the sixth because the di- rector feels that the children at these stages of development can- not profit most by a specialized || program, however skillfully and || psychologically carried on. ‘The Ideal Project The ideal project is one in whieh ‘all the subjects operate —simul- taneously. While one group is pre- paring, dividing and distributing | materials, another can be acquir- | ing skill in making a written ree- a] ord of the projects; another can be ' gaining experience in oral and ‘| written expression of nature; an- | other group constructing models "| that have a place in the projects; still another group at work effect: be harmonious arrangement and decoration of the various clements: | again; © group singing, while stil another expresses, throug eurhyth mics; — the : graceful, expressive representation, in motion, of th aesthetic and rhythmic possibilities and upon individual interests. We can conceive of such a project driv ing home to the child, in a telling way, the fact that there is a bonc of unity in the processes of edu: cation.

Gradually. but surely the light increased until at last the sun shone forth in all its splendor. Birds began chirping’ in the warm. sunlight; all the village of Dearplace seemed alive and breathing. It made a beautiful picture as it lay against that glo- Fious morning sky with its sway- ing corn stalks and rustling trees. ‘At the faintest gleam of gray Jack Borden leapt from: his bed and, after, a gentle glance at his nother who lay sleeping in the next room, left the house to take a plunge in a nearby stream. Ar- riving there, he disrobed and step- ped lightly into the icy water. Mu- sic' was in the heart of that coun- try lad with the black hair, tanned skin and supple body, for’he had accomplished that on which he had labored for many days. He had written his first short story! Some raonths prior to this time Jack had ‘seen an announcement of Short Story Contest in one of the magazines in the school library. ‘At once he made up his mind to enter a story in the contest. Af- ter untiring efforts he had com- pleted his story and was ready to send it off. Subsequent to his plunge, Jack hastily, but carefully did his usual morning tasks. .He milked Bess, the cow; fed Beauty, the pig; fed Bunny, his rabbit. “Before enter- ing the house from whence came savory odors of breakfast, Jack paused on the threshold to drink in the full beauties of the Spring morning. Standing facing the east, the boy appeared no less handsome than the god, Adonis. ‘And can you conceive anything be- ing more handsome than a brown Adonis? Abruptly a face which was al- most identical to that of the youth, was seen in the doorway. It was'a jolly face with its twink- ling eyes and jovial smile. Fur- ther view presented the robust, healthy body of the boy’s mother. Addressing her son she said, “Come, son, breakfast is ready.” ‘With @ hound the boy was in the kitchen vigorously washing his hands in preparation to devouring a healthy meal, With a chunk of corn pone in one hand Jack said, “Mother, I shall mail my story today. "Gee, I hope I win a prize because I've worked so, hard on it “{ shall. be proud of you ‘even if you don't, win a prize. I am sure that you will receive, special mention.” “But if I get the money, we can pay it down on that house in the city, mother,” ‘ “Son, you've really set yout heart on that house, haven't, you?” “Sure, I don’t like the idea of you being out here in the country without a telephone or anything.” “We can remain here until you graduate from high school.” at Teast. We know this place is ours.” “Well, we'll see. By the way, Mother, T guess I'll take my story to school and mail it on my way home.” $ “Ail right, son, but do be care- fol with it.” In half an hour Jack: was trudg- ing to the high school that he at- tended with his precious story ‘safely tucked away in his book sbag. As soon as he. arrived’ at | school, he deposited his story in { his locker. 3 | Jack was a studious ‘boy. in school and all his teachers thought much of him. All referred to \him as being an honest, denend- | able boy. On that day he did ‘so well in his classes, especially in | his English class, that his teacher said to him after class, | You seem to be happy today. What is: pleasing you so?” | “Nothing much,” blurted - Jack I mean not anything very much.” “Oh, yes. there is,” said the teacher smiling. “I can tell by your face whenever you are ex- ceptionally happy.” Not only was Jack a student, he was an athlete. So before going to the post office, Jack stopped in the gym awhile to practice basket- ball because he wanted to be ir good condition when the champion: ship game between his school and the rival school was played. Wher \he had practiced an half an hour |e leisurely, walked to hig locke | is s. On picking uj {ists boots, be did not see the story | Thinking ‘that it might have faller | behind some other books, he im | mediately began searching for it Search as_he might he could no! find it. Frantically he searche from top to bottom but to. n¢ 'avail—the story was gone! Wher« "| was it? Had he lost it on his waj || to school? No, he had put it ir ‘| his locker. Had someone taker .| it? No, no one knew that he hac | it except his mother. Jack's brair refused to function; he stood as i ‘turned to stone. For fully fiftee minutes he stood unseeing, un | believing. ;| At last he mustered strength t ‘go home. The boy who trudge “Mother, why is it that we have such a hard time?” “There, there, son, have faith and the ‘story will return to you. You lie down awhile then you will feel_ better.” “But my chores ——.” “Never mind about them. You do as I say.” eee Jack who had always been so jolly and. gay now became morose and silent. He said never a word to his friends; he lost in- terest. in his studies; he moped continually. All of his pals and teachers noticed his changed at- titude but did not know what to attribute itto. One day his Eng- lish teacher of whom he was very fond, summoned him to her desk. She ‘said, “John, a-great change has come over you recently. Won't you tell me what is.troubling you?” “Miss Fletcher; you wouldn't understand if I told you,” respond- ed. Jack. “Well, couldn’t you tell me and see whether I understand?” With that, Jack broke down and told Miss Fletcher all. He. told her how he had seen the notice of the contest in a magazine, how he had labored until midnight for many nights trying to complete his story, what he wanted to do with ‘the money, and how the story had disappeared. Miss Fletcher _lis- tened to. the narration with wide. interested eyes anc at the end of it she said, “What villains some mortals be! John, this is almost unbelievable But, ‘child, there is no need for you to pine your time away. Get busy and prepare another copy of the story.” “Suppose the other person has already submitted my. story.” “That is a small matter to get- tle. Write a.note stating that a are the true author, I will vouch for you.” “Oh, Miss Fletcher,” said. Jack his face lighting up. A few days later found Jack al- most his former self. He was shining in both his studies and athletics. As was his wont he was watching teams at other schools in order to see how they played. At one of these games he sat next to a boy who was rather friendly. Jack, and Fred (as this boy was named) conversed first about the game then about other things. Somehow the conversation drifted. round to the subject of writing, Fred ‘said, |. “The Easter’ Babe,’ a story writ- ten by a friend of mine is very in- teresting. The author lent it to me.” “The Easter Babe’?” gasped Jack, “Who wrote it?” “Fellow by the name of Bill King.” “Jack's heart) was palpitating fu- riously. “The Easter Babe” was the name of the story he had writ- ten, and Bill King was -the boy who used the locker next to his at school. Not wishing to be- tray. anything by his emotions, he casually said, “Tell me about. it.” The ‘story that the boy told was the identical. one that “Jack ‘had written. He, was at a loss as to what to say. so he remained. si- lent. Later he said, “I'd like to read that story, will you lend it to me?” “Sure, it's in ‘my locker now. ‘We can get it after the game.” } Jack did not enjoy the ‘est of the game, in fact, he did not ever look at it, After what.seemed ar eternity to him, Fred said, “The game's’ over. Let's get that story.” “In a few minutes the preciou: story was safe in Jack’s hands again. Hastily thanking Fred. he hurried. home. Again he was that radiant, happy boy. | Breathlessly he told’ his mother about the find: ing of the story. “I told you, son, that the stors would return’ to you, if you only had faith,” said Jack's mother. “Mother, you were right a: usual.” “Do not let it:be known at schoo | that William: King is a thief. 1 will be found out soon enough. Ac | 2s_ if nothing had happened.” “But what about the other boy?’ “Send him a covy of the stor} with your name on it as the author Let William King explain th Test.” “Hooray! Mother. it's not to late for me to send the story. I'l go to the office now.” In the wake of the hurried tris to the post office, two importan | events ‘occurred.’ Jack Borde won the prize of four hundre dollars in the Short Story Con | fest, after which he made ‘a pay || ment with the four hundred doll | on a new house in the city. , Se tee oe ers BRINGS IN NAMES OF TRIBUNE BUDDIES Marie Tignor, of 918 S street, northwest, brought in the names of Geraldine Walker, age 11, of 710 Q street, northwest, and Es. ther Morton, age 9, of 923 S street northwest.

PAGEANT OF DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL FORMER PUBLIC SCHOOL OFFICIAL DIES IN BOSTON One of Boston's most progressive social workers and one member of a family which has done much for the schools of Washington, Mrs. Mary "Tan" Evans Butler, sister of the late Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans, former and first principal of the Armstrong Technical High School, and Mrs. Anna Murray, as well as the aunt of Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs ("Madame Evanti,") the most noted of Washington's musical stars, died at her home, 18 Rutland square, Boston, Mass., Wednesday, after an illness extending over a long period of months. Mrs. Butler, wife of one of Boston's most noted attorneys, who is president of the National Association of Colored People of that city, was born in Oberlin, Ohio, July 2, 1865. She was educated in Ohio and Washington, D. C., and was a teacher until her marriage to Attorney Butler. Mrs. Butler was the first director of physical education, a subject which was dear to her, and of which she and all her family were living examples and splendid arguments. Mrs. Butler inherited her fighting and constructive qualities; her ancestors and relatives had made American and race history. She was proud of the fact that her father was imprisoned with the other professors of Oberlin, who participated in the famous Aberton-Wellington Fugitive Slave Rescue. Both an uncle and cousin were with John Brown in his raid upon Harper's Ferry, one being shot crossing the river and the other being hung with Brown, by the Federal authorities. Many social monuments remain standing in Boston to remind our youth of the character and high purpose of this woman whose culture and maternal tendencies would give no one an idea of the latent power she possessed. SORORITY JOURNAL STRESSES "KNOW YOUR SORORITY" By Thelma-Louise Taylor CLEVELAND, O., April 5-Edna Jefferson Gaines, of Philadelphia, the editor of the "Ivy Leaf," the official journal of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, is devoting the spring number to "Know Your Sorority" which promises to be of great interest to the public. Receiving her first stimulus for journalism when a cub reporter for the Pittsburgh Courier, Edna Jefferson Gaines has since continued her work and is the writer of several successful short stories. She was appointed assistant editor of the "Ivy Leaf" by the late Rosa Vassar Rodgers and succeeded to the editorship in the late summer. At the Boule in Cleveland she was unanimously re-elected to the editorship. --- C. P. A. TO AUDIT FINANCES OF A. M. E. ZION Preliminary work for an adult of the financial department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church by certified public accountants was carried on here last Wednesday when Dr. Frederick M. Jacobs, church secretary and auditor, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was here to audit the accounts of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. The audit of the financial department was ordered by the board of bishops. It is a result of the meeting of the board of bishops and of the financial department of the church in Philadelphia, Pa. March 6, when alleged irregularities involving Bishop L. W. Kyles and Dr. W. H. Goler were brought to the attention of the bishops. The board of bishops appointed a committee including Bishops J. S. Caldwell, E. W. D. Jones and J. W. Martin to make an investigation. This committee reported to the bishops that a proper investigation would involve an enormous amount of work. It was then decided to employ certified public accountants to make a complete audit of the affairs of the church for the past three years. This audit will be made immediately and a report of the findings of the auditors will be submitted to the general conference when it meets in May. Resents Statement Dr. Jacobs denounced as false and contemptible a statement made in New York by charging him with usury in the lending of money to the church. "Personally," he said, "I want to treat the statement with the contempt it deserves, judging from the source from which it comes." He stated that he had made large loans to the church and that there is still due him a considerable amount of money. "But the amount of interest I have received," he said, "has not been at all what I was due. In a large number of cases, I have charged no interest at all and received none." "The matter about interest is a falsehood, pure and simple—a malicious, wicked, unmanly, devilish intent to misrepresent one who has been willing to sacrifice almost his bread to help the church," he said. Candidate for Bishopric "Referring to the charge that he had deserted the ministry for the practice of medicine because preaching was not lucrative enough, he denied that he had ever been out of the ministry. He explained that a few years ago after having served as presiding elder, the bishop presiding over his diocese had left him without a pastorate. But there has been no time, he said when he was not a member of the New York annual conference and that he has continued to preach. Dr. Jacobs is a candidate for the bishopric. His practicing medicine while engaging in the ministry set no precedent in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Dr. Jacobs declared. He referred to the case of the late Bishop J. B. Thompson, of Newburg, N. Y., who practised medicine while a bishop.

Emigration Law An emigration law to restrict the annual exportation of Haitian labor to Cuba and the Dominican Republic for work in the cane fields will shortly be placed before the legislative body, General Russell reports. Notwithstanding that a poor coffee crop made last year financially a lean one, says General Russell, there has been a steady gain in prosperity and a decided impetus to agricultural development. The peasant is better clothed, fed and housed than five years ago, he says. Law and order has made it possible for him to till his fields undisturbed, he states. In the cities, new construction work, the commercial activities of the merchants, the increased number of shops, the improvement in dress of the lower class, and the phenomenal increase in automobile sales, "testify most convincingly to the increased prosperity of the urban population." Foreign Commerce There was a decline of 20 per cent in foreign commerce in the past year because of the poor coffee-crop, General Russell reports. Cargo space is always available, but difficulty is experienced at times in securing passenger accommodations from Haiti, he states. Three steamship lines from New York run to Haiti. A skeleton brigade of United States Marines and a mine sweeper of 950 tons displacement are still kept in Haiti. Martial law is still maintained there. The value of Haitian imports for the fiscal year amounted to $15,751,320 and the exports to $15,299,088.40, giving an excess of imports of $452,231.60, General Russell reports. The decline of imports was 16.44 and of exports 24.44 per cent over the previous year. It is noted that 78.56 per cent of imports came from the United States. The public debt has been reduced by $1,720,044.84. The public debt on September 30, 1927 was $19,941,371.02.

FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1928 PORTERS SIGN STRIKE BALLOTS RAPIDLY NEW YORK, April 5.—Dispatches from the various division headquarters throughout the country indicate that the Pullman porters and maids are rallying to the strike vote in large numbers with great rapidity. The spirit among the men, according to General Organizer A. Philip Randolph, from coast to coast, is that they must make a stand now or never, that the company's increase of wages for Pullman conductors from $150 a month as a minimum to $160 a month as the new minimum, which is almost three times as much as the Pullman porter receives, is a definite challenge to the porters and maids. Even porters who were indifferent or opposed to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters are now turning to the Union with a feeling that if the conductors can get an increase in wages through their union, the porters can get an increase through the Brotherhood, says the general organizer. Organizers M. P. Webster, of Chicago, E. J. Bradley, of St. Louis, Paul L. Caldwell, of St. Paul, A. L. Totten, of Kansas City, George E. Ivey, of Portland, Bennie Smith, of Pittsburgh, Frank R. Crosswash, and Silas M. Taylor, of Boston, W. H. DesVerney and Peter A. Anthony, of Washington, John Darby, of Jacksonville and many others report that the spirit of the Pullman porters to fight to a finish is stronger and higher now than ever before, according to Randolph. A large number of non-members are signing the ballots also, so the headquarters reports.

The Daughters of Union, the oldest society in Northern Virginia, reorganized recently and elected Mrs. I. G. McDowell, president, Mrs. Florence Lee, secretary.

Taylor. MASONIC TEMPLE WORK RAPIDLY PROGRESSING Contractor Says Building to be Completed by September Construction work on the new Masonic temple at the corner of Tenth and U. streets, northwest, is progressing at a rapid pace and the structure should be completed by September of this year, according to a statement issued by Paul F. Loedler, secretary of the G. G. Loehler Construction Company, which firm has contracted with the Masonic Grand Lodge to complete the building. Mr. Loehler stated that work on the structure was resumed on March 5, 1928, and that during the first few days activities were confined to testing and investigating material already in place. These investigations having disclosed that the weather had not materially injured the work in place, the inspectors set their stamp of approval on it and permitted the new work to proceed. The contractor first cleaned and painted the steel work, repaired the concrete where necessary, and installed a gasoline pump to raise the water out of the cellar. Work Started The Loehler firm has erected a double hoisting tower, containing an elevator for raising brick and tile, and a steel bucket for raising concrete, power being furnished by a double drum, 35-horsepower hoisting engine. A concrete mixer for preparing concrete for the floor slabs, and a gasoline-driven saw to cut lumber used in the form work, have also been installed, as well as a field office and storage houses for tools and materials. A force of from 40 to 65 men is employed on the job, stated Mr. Loehler, and the work is being pushed with extreme rapidity, the second, third and fourth floors having already been concreted, while the fifth floor concrete forms are now being put in place, the iron workers proceeding to complete the steel work, and the bricklayers proceeding with the work of completing the unfinished walls. Material Used According to Mr. Loehler, an almost unbelievable quantity of material has been used in the work, 100,000 feet of lumber, 18,000 pieces of tile, over 1,000 bags of cement, several hundred tons of sand and gravel, a half ton of nails, together with a great quantity of other materials, having gone into the building. In commenting upon the probable date of completion of the building, Mr. Loehler said that at the present time his firm is ahead of its construction schedule and that the first of May should see the structure under roof, and that, barring unforeseen delays, the building should be finished by September of this year. Esther Chapter to Stage Pageant Grand Lodge Charity Reception The joint committee, representing the Charity and Reception Committees of the Grand Lodge, is rapidly completing arrangements for a monster charity reception which will be held on Thursday, May 23. Proceeds from the reception will be used in meeting appeals made for charity to the Grand Lodge, Chairman Robert H. Harrison of the Joint Committee plans to extend invitations to all departments of the Masbue Fraternity, as well as to all other secret and fraternal organizations and the public at large. Scottish Bite Easter Service. The beautiful Scottish Rite ceremony of lightening the wills will take place at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church at seven o'clock Easter Sunday morning. The service is one of unusual interest and beauty, and the program will include a special sermon by Rev. Charles E. Stewart, of Baltimore. Following the ceremony breakfast will be served in the cathedral chamber of the Scottish Rite Temple. TREASURY LABORER DIES FROM FALL Clarence H. Jackson, 42-year-old laborer in the Treasury Department died at Providence Hospital late, Tuesday night as a result of injuries received when he is said to have fallen down a flight of stairs into the Treasury basement. He lived at 1313 Twenty-second street, northwest. While there was nobody on the scene at the time of the alleged fall, Dr. Richard Washington, of the Treasury, said that when he found Jackson he was lying unconscious in a pool of blood at the foot of the steps. Taken to the hospital in the Public Health Service Ambulance, Jackson was treated by Dr. G. C. Collins. The man was employed as a laborer, carrying ice to the water coolers. Jackson is the father of two young children, Fannie and Clara, now in the care of his mother, Mrs. Fannie Jackson Diggs. Funeral services are to be held Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock from his residence. Interment will be at Mr. Olivet Cemetery. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE Points of Order Against Howard Item May End (Continued from page 1) Republicans also supported the measure. A lone Farmer-Labor Congressman, Representative William L. Garss, of Minnesota, voted with the Democratic minority against the bill. Only one northern Democrat, Representative Edgar Howard, of Nebraska, voted against the bill. Two-hour Debate A two-hour debate preceded passage of the measure. The bill was sponsored by Representative Daniel A. Reed, Republican, of New York. A resolution making the measure the unfinished business of the House upon its adoption was presented by Representative Bertrand H. Snell, Republican, of New York. This resolution was adopted by a vote of 246 to 89, and the debate was begun immediately. In opening the debate, Representative Malcolm C. Tarver, Democrat, of Georgia, opposed the bill because, he stated, "it is an attempt to legalize the use of funds from the Federal treasury to meet alleged educational problems which are more or less local to the District of Columbia and territory in its vicinity, if they exist at all; because it is an attempt to divert Federal moneys to an educational institution not under public control; because it is a flagrant discrimination in the use of Federal funds for educational purposes against the people of the white race;" and because it is directly opposed to the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Crampton Replies Replying to Mr. Tarver, Representative Louis C. Crampman, Republican, of Michigan, declared concerning the charge of discrimination against the white race that "We have already established the precedent in the education of the Indians. We have many, many schools for the exclusive use of the Indians in order to fulfill our national obligations as to that race. We have a similar obligation to see that the Negro is not discriminated against in the opportunity to get an education and raise himself and his race up." Mr. Crampton pointed out the discrimination between the white and colored races in the distribution of Federal funds that go to state schools under different laws. Taking the year 1925-1926, he showed that a total of $4,901,338 was given to 17 southern states. The total population of these states is 27,000,000 white persons and 9,000,000 colored persons. The sum of $319,777 only went to colored institutions when they should have received $1,600,000. "It is that discrimination," he declared, "that creates this national need for a great colored university." BEN DAVIS HERE ON BUSINESS Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican national committeeman for Georgia, and Dr. W. H. Harris, of Athens, Ga., were here last week in connection with the appointment of a United States attorney for the middle district of Georgia. LIBERTY LIFE HAS TRIUMPHANT YEAR Increases Capital to $200,000 Assests Increase $168,499.05 Adds $75,000 to Surplus CHICAGO, March 27.—As a result of an announcement that Liberty Life Insurance Company made here today, interest in the various financial cliques and circles is running high. Many financial and business men expressed surprise at the strong showing Liberty Life is making in spite of the general cry of depression that prevailed in a large number of colored districts throughout the country. Liberty Life announced today, that it has increased its paid-in capital from $175,000 to $200,000 and has also added $75,000 to surplus. According to the company's annual statement as of December 31, 1927, the past year was another milestone for Liberty Life. The total production for the year was over $5,000,000 which brings the company's total amount of business in force up to $11,245,688. Company Gains in All States Liberty Life experienced satisfactory gains in every phase of its work. A new spirit of energy and enthusiasm is easily apparent, in each of the company's departments and divisions. The Seventh Annual Statement shows a total of $716,-032.05 of Admitted Assets which is an increase of $168,499.05 since the previous year. Testimonial and Shower for Bousfield In appreciation of the splendid work by M. O. Bousfield, during the three years of his presidency, the agency force and influential citizens of Chicago have planned a unique testimonial meeting and application shower. This meeting will be held Saturday evening, March 31st, in the Liberty Life Auditorium. All persons connected with the company will be there along with a host of prominent persons of Chicago. —Adv. FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1928 NEGROES ASLEEP ON POLITICS tempted to put into effect a system whereby their control and power would not be jeopardized. A convention was held in the old Ebbitt House on F Street, and admittance was by card only. Of course the bosses saw to it that only their henchmen were given cards. The result was, the whole affair was cut and dried. However, so repugnant was this procedure to a great number who believed in fair play, that a rump convention and a contesting set of delegates were sent to the convention which convened in St. Louis, Mo. When the contest came up before the credentials committee at the convention, both sides being irregular, all the delegates from the District of Columbia were thrown out. In 1920, the so-called convention was completely boss controlled. In 1924, the selection was also cut and dried long before the faithful few assembled in a room on New York Avenue for the arduous task. According to the call issued by the Republican National Committee, due notice of the primary election as well as of the general election is to be made in newspapers of general circulation, at least fifteen days before the voting. All meetings are also to be held in public places. n of the pri- general elec- made by Mr. who is Na- nion for the justice in the 1620 7th St., N.W. Jas. H. Harrod J. A. C. Washington Proprietors So far no mention of the primary elections or general elections have been made by Mr. Edward F. Colladay who is National Committeeman for the District. The practice in the past has been to hold unadvertised, private meetings in private homes or unannounced meetings in public halls or schools. To these meetings only a few of the faithful are invited. A determined effort is being made this year to have the election of delegates from the District made in strict accordance to the call. A petition was presented last December to the National Republican Committee signed by Aaron Bradshaw, J. Finley Wilson, Robert F. Miller and Benjamin L. Gaskus. This petition asked the National Committee to appoint a sub-committee of three to carry out the fair election of delegates in the District. The election of these National convention delegates is the only form of franchise exercised by the citizens of Washington. If the 20,000 Negroes eligible to participate in this election would turn out and cast their votes, the status of the Negro in this city would be greatly bettered. Under the present practice, all appointments in the District Government are made on recommendation of division chiefs. These chiefs get their orders from those who control the Republican Party in the District. No civil service examinations are required. Notwithstanding this, fewer than twenty-five Negro clerks hold positions in the District building. On the other hand hundreds of whites from Maryland and Virginia hold these positions and are paid out of the pockets of the tax payers of the District. While these whites occupy these lucrative positions, hum- Are You Sick? Are You Been Hurt? O SEE PROFESSOR GEORGE cure you, has cured many people who for a long time. If out of town write.

(Continued from page 1) ```markdown ``` dreds of graduates of Dunbar, Armstrong, Niner Normal and Howard University whose parents are tax payers here, are denied positions. The only remedy to this is for the Negroes of the District to take a more active part in the Republican politics of this city. If they cast their votes for the election of their own delegates to the general convention, they can then elect men who will give recognition in the dispensing of the patronage here. Despite the fact that about half of the membership of the Republican party here is made up of Negroes, they do not get sufficient recognition in patronage to call it anything at all. The only Negro holding a job of any prestige under the District Government, is Attorney Thos. L. Jones, who is an Assistant District Attorney with a salary less than $3,000 a year. The plan in the past has been to name one Negro a delegate and one an alternate to the National Convention. Other than this, no further recognition is given. A determined effort is being made to revive the interest of the 20-000 Negro voters here in politics and get them to go out and better their condition by the proper use of the ballot.

The Talk of Town WEEKLY SERMON [Image of a young man with dark hair and a small mark on his forehead]. Rev. R. W. BROOKS, pastor Lincoln Congregational Temple, presents this week's sermon. LIFE'S OPEN DOORS By Rev. R, W. Brooks “Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.” Rev. 3:8. Our thoughts here spring from a verse in the Book of Revelation. John was on Patmos when this book was conceived. Patmos is a conict island some ten miles long and five or six miles broad, off the coast of Asia Minor. There the hapless prisoners, marooned for many causes, from high misdemeanors to Christian discipleship openly confessed, like John’s, spent their days working in the mines or marble quarries and their nights in the convict huts. I am convinced that this text also represents John's reaction to his imprisonment. God says, "Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it." To be sure John uses these words about one of the churches of which he is writing, but they must have welled up first of all in response to his own experience. His imprisonment had shut doors all around his life. Doors of opportunity, happiness, and privilege had been closed, and there in his tent and shuttered experience he heard the voice divine and that cried, "Behold I have set before DELEGATES TO MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE ENTERTAINED Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand D. Lee entertained at dinner Friday, March 30, Rev. and Mrs. Milton R. Geary of Bangor, Maine, and Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Robinson, of Clarksville, West Virginia. Rev. Robinson holds an appointment by the governor of his state as director of the bureau of Negro welfare and statistics. Rev. Geary, who is also a practicing attorney, has the distinction of having a large majority of the membership of his church composed of white people. Mrs. Geary is a native of Canada. This was her first visit to Washington. Reverends Robinson and Geary are both connected with the National Memorial Association, having been appointed State Commissioners by the governors of their respective states. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, WAR RENTON, VA. At the First Baptist Church, Warrenton, Va., the pastor will use as his Easter theme the coming Sunday morning, "The Significance of the Resurrection." The communion will follow the morning worship. The Easter cantata, given jointly by the Sunday school and the choir, will be presented at the evening worship hour. Sunday, May 20, has been designated as "Rally day" at which time it is hoped that the remainder of the pipe organ debt will be entirely lifted. EASTER SPECIALS AT JOHN WESLEY CHURCH The Easter specials at John Westley A. M. E. Zion Church. Fourteenth and Corcoran streets northwest, will be. Easter sermon at 10:45 by the pastor, Dr. H. T. Medford; 3 p.m., an Easter Cantata, "In the Glory of the Morning," by the Sunday School; 6:30 p. m., the V. C. E. Society will have an "electrical cross service," featured also by the turning on of the newly installed lights in the Sunday School auditorium: 7:45 p. m., the senior vested choir will render its Easter music, "The Holy City," by Gaul. Financial Rally supplements will be received at each service. CORINTHIAN BAPTIST ANNIVERSARY The Corinthian Baptist Church, corner of Fourth and Q streets northwest, will celebrate its thee an open door, and no man can shut it." What do these words mean to us if not this: that all the doors which man and circumstances could get their hands upon had been closed, but there still were doors, inner doors, that no man could shut. No circumstances could reach them; no man could get his hands upon them. I am speaking to you about the inner kingdom of the soul and the doors there that God has opened and that no man can shut. What are these inner doors? We have only space to mention them with little or no comment. For one thing there is the door of spiritual growth. No matter what man or circumstance may do to you outwardly, you always can use it for the development of a finer character inwardly. That door of spiritual growth stands open. You can shut it, but nobody else can if you really want it open. There is another open door, the door of high thought. Well, that is the world we all live in—the world of the thoughts we think. Ahl! Keep that door open in your lives. Make frequent journeys through it into the world of great thoughts. Let books of the master spirits nourish your meditations. Learn what Sir Edward Dyer meant when he said, "My mind to me a kingdom is." Go deeper; learn what Jesus meant when He said, "The kingdom of God is within you." For all around your lives today are open doors that will not always be open. Then there is another open door—the door of goodwill. Last of all, there is the open door to faith in God and fellowship with him. That is the heart of religion — that inner door through which one steps to stand, it may be quietly, in the presence of the Unseen Friend. This Lenten season gives us a great opportunity to make this secret exit. I have stated very briefly some of the open doors of life that no man can shut. Is it not clear what the saints at their best have meant when they have defied the world? All of us are privileged to say, O world, take from me what you will; these things are mine and no man can touch them. And when at last death seems to close the final door, even more manifest is the Christian's triumph. Charles Kingsley often expressed his longing for that moment, saying, "God forgive me if I am wrong, but I look forward to it with an intense and reverent curiosity." Just so! For even then he heard the word that John heard long ago on Patmos: "Behold I have set before the an open door, and no man can shut it." eighth anniversary beginning April 9 and running to April 16. On April 15, at 3:30 p. m., the new pastor, Rev. Wesley C. Wheeler will be installed.

Porter is president of the "RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL conference. SON, AT MT. ZION CHURCH By Rev. Chas. P. Harris, B.D. THE RESURRECTION Mark 16:1-20 (Easter Lesson) GOLDEN TEXT: "Because I live, ye shall live also." John 14:19. The Thought of the Lesson Today's lesson brings us to the central fact in the plan of redemption—the Resurrection of our Lord. The tragedy of the cross has intervened between the lesson of last Sunday and that of today. In today's lesson Calvary's bloody cross is supplemented by the empty tomb, and the resurrection becomes at once a historical fact and a spiritual force. About it revolve the world's only hope of present redemption and future salvation. As Paul has said, "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain . . . ye are yet in your sina." The resurrection of Christ is the beginning of the new life after His death. Had He not risen from the dead the new life which He came to bring would have been a failure. But His resurrection is assurance of our own. A living Christ guarantees a living people. Says He, "Because I live, ye shall live also." Thus in His resurrection is furnished the fulfillment of a fond human hope which is as old and as natural as the heating of the human heart—the hope of life beyond the grave. This hope has YOUNG PEOPLE'S SERVICES AT SHILOH Young People's Fellowship Easter Services will be held at The Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P streets northwest, on April 8, from 5 to 7 a.m., under the auspices of the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union of the District of Columbia.

The following program will be rendered: Introduction, soprano solo, "Harken to Me," Mrs. Elizabeth Dickerson; First Word, "Father, forgive them," tenor, baritone and chorus, J. Obelton Holmes, Jr., Lawrence B. Curtis; Second Word, "I Say to thee," tenor and baritone, J. Obelton Holmes, Albert D.

At 4 p.m., communion will be observed, and reception given new members. At 8 p.m., there will be a pageant by the junior choir, "The Victorious Chirst." persisted in man from His crudest state of savagery to his highest state of civilization and enlightenment. The graves of the most ancient peoples which the spade of the archaeologist has been able to uncover have shown signs of active hope of future life on the part of those buried. All through the ages man has asked, "If a man die, shall he live again?" To this question he has always believed and hoped in the affirmative. In the resurrection of Jesus this belief and this hope are vindicated. Because Christ was able to lay down His life and take it up again He is able to bring us from death—"Because I live, ye shall live also." The outstanding theme of Easter is immortality and the general teaching unit of our Easter lesson is the fact of the resurrection of our Lord. That Jesus died upon the cross is a fact which has never been seriously questioned, historical data and the surrounding circumstances being considered sufficient evidences of this fact. Likewise the empty tomb and the soldiers stationed there, the women who went there to anoint Jesus, the apostles and the "above five hundred brethren" who "at once" saw the risen Lord—to say nothing of the present spiritual force such as could be exerted only by a living Savior—are all qualified witnesses and concrete evidences of the fact of the resurrection of our Lord. "If a man die, shall he live again?" Yes—Because I live, ye shall live also. "The Return of the Prodical Son," one of the most beautiful biblical dramas ever presented, was rendered by the Esther Players at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Twenty-ninth street and Dumbarton avenue, Friday night, March 30, at 8 o'clock. By special request, the drama will be repeated at the church Easter Sunday, at 8 p. m.

Rev. Father Shaefer will preach. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO SEND NEGRO MISSION- ARIES TO AFRICA PHIDADELPHIA, Pa. April 5-8 Modern science has opened the way for the Christian religion to evangelize that part of Africa which has been known as the explorers' graveyard; and the first step in this new crusade is the decision, just announced, of the Presbyterian Board of Missions to send Negro missionaries to reform the Dark Continent. The pioneers chosen are Rev. Kevin W. Underhill, of 1924 South College Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa., and his fiancee, Miss Susan Theress Reynolds, living at 2104, Catherine Street, Philadelphia, Mr. Underhill is a senior in Princeton Theological Seminary. Miss Reynolds is a teacher in the Philadelphia public schools. Mr. Underhill and Miss Reynolds will probably start this summer for Kribb, West Africa, immediately after their marriage. They will serve in the Cameroun, a district now under a mandate from the French Government. In this appointment of Rey, Mr. Underhill and Miss Reynolds as the first colored missionaries in many years to serve under its direction in Africa, the Presbyterian Board of Foreign missions is taking a step which it is expected will be studied by the entire civilized world. African missionaries have served on the West Coast before, away back before the Civil War, but it was found that they, as well as white men, were seriously affected by the tropical climate, and the "white man's grave" became the American Negro's grave as well. Recent progress in tropical medicine and sanitation, however, has lifted the danger, is the Board's judgment. RENO CITIZENS ASSOCIATION The Reno Citizens Association held a meeting in honor of A. S. Pinkett, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, and Messrs. James and Louis Neal, and Thomas A. Johnson, last week. Mrs. Mabel Mines presided. The program was rendered by Miss Mary E.

In an attempt to give all of these clubs an opportunity to become af- filiated with the circuit, the sport- editor, who is also the president and founder of the Tribune League, is willing to form a third section. This section, to be known as Class € of the loop, must however, con- sist of eight teams.

It seems that following the is of the Sere bias e_ Newspaper Trop y_ to the 1927 Colesville team, for its win- ning the Tribune League title, there arose in the club some dissension causing a split. ‘The manager of the 1927 team differed on certain of the club tran- sactions and these differences, it is said, led to a near corruption. Braxton, it seems, chose to oe rate himself from the club. iis he did with the result that others followed. Those who remained connected with what appears to be the origt- nal club decided té continue oper- ating as such. Braxton then formed @ team with several of his veterans and ‘a few additions. This team the manager decided would be termed the Lions—whether for a purpose of asserting @ superiority over their aEnae Cat brethren or not, we are unable to say. A question that remains unan- ‘swered is, “To whom does the prize for winning the 1927 championship belong?” ‘Such a query was put to the writ- ‘er by one of the members of the Colesville Tigers. “Should Braxton be allowed to keep the trophy or is not the team entitled to it?” (It seems that Braxton has kept the prize thus far.)

The Store of Extreme Courtesy EIGHT "THE RETURN OF BOSTON BLACKIE" AT THE BROADWAY For Sunday and Monday the screen attraction at the Broadway Theatre will be "The Return of Boston Blackie." This new "Boston Blackie" story differs widely in its theme from all of the earlier adventures of his popular society crook. On his return from two years in jail, he determines to stick to the well known straight and narrow. His safe cracking days are over, but his love of adventure has not left him. In fact, two years of nerve-wracking inactivity has set his blood tingling, and, as he and his faithful Strong-heart strut down the street on his first night of freedom, he craves action. For Tuesday only, the feature picture stars Dorothy Gish. Dorothy Gish is seen as the woman who played with nations and wrought havoc with hearts of men. Antonio Moreno plays a featured role as Pompadour's poet lover. The picture is "Madame Pompadour." For Wednesday and Thursday the screen attraction will be, "Legionaires in Paris," with Al Cook and Kit Guard. In this story, from the facile pen of Louis Sarecky, the inimitable Cooke and Guard are led through a series of amusing situations as delegates from a little American town to the Legion convention in the French capital. Pursued by fear of arrest for hitting agendarme while they were celebrating the Armistice, Cooke and Guard resort to every method in their bag of funny tricks to avoid apprehension by a giant French policeman who has been set on their trail by a French general who wishes to decorate them for valor during the war. Thursday (talent) night three prizes. For Friday and Saturday the feature picture will be "Adventure Mad." An all-star cast, a strange story, with a notable cast of continental stars. It illustrates the methods used by a gang of international crooks to wreck the home and life of a wealthy nobleman in order to obtain a collection, of priceless jewels. Country store will be held Saturday. Extra for Sunday only, 7 to 10 o'clock, Black and White Syncopators. THRILLING SERIAL STARTS AT DUNBAR THEATRE "The Mark of the Frog," a Paheserial picture, will begin at the Dunbar Theatre, Wednesday, April 11. It will also be shown Thursday. With the police hot on his trail, an international crook entrusts his enormous loot to a stranger who bears on his arm "The Mark of the Frog." Is it a coincidence that there is soon a powerful band of criminals each bearing "The Mark of the Frog?" But why is the head of a great bank involved in operations of "The Frogs?" Why is a girl's brother entrapped and—but you will want to see this most enthralling and astounding mystery ever pictured from the very first chapter, at Dunbar Theatre, the house of the best serials. TWO GREAT PICTURES, THE EASTER OFFERING AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE NEXT WEEK Greta Garbo, famous Swedish film actress, who gained an American film following of millions with the release of her first American-made film, has reversed the usual order of things. Greta Garbo has had the good fortune to get a better story each time she appears on the screen and through this add to her already sensational popularity. In her new Metro-Goldwyn Mayer production, "The Divine Woman," which opens at the Lincoln Theatre, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Miss Garbo is seen in the best picture of her entire film career. Her role as a French actress is even greater than it was in "Flesh and the Devil," "The Temptress," "Love" or "The Torrent" and she loses no opportunity to show just what she can do. Her new picture has a happy ending, which is logical, and much more to the liking of American audiences than tragic denouements. "The Divine Woman" was directed by Victor Seastrom and is based on the stage play, "Starlight." Lars Hanson has the principal male role. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be seen "Chicago," "Chicago" is a DeMille studio production for Pathe. Phyllis Haver, as the jazz craze wife and Victor Varconi as her forgiving husband portray the leading roles. Directed by Frank Urson, this screen version of Maurine Watkins, celebrated stage success, "Chicago" is decidedly one of the best productions in many years. The story deals with a vixen wife, who to gratify her wild desires, deceives her husband. When her "angel daddy" seeks to rid himself of the shackles with which she has enslaved him she deliberately murders him. Although her husband is aware of her infidelities, his love for her prompts him to do all in his power to save her from the chair, and when a rascally criminal lawyer, portrayed by Robert Edeson, demands an excessive fee he commits a burglary, Roxie Hart is heralded by the press as the "beautiful jazz slayer" and she revels in her notoriety which ultimately results in her acquittal. Then her husband casts her off and she finds herself outcast, alone and forgotten. There are many scenes of dramatic force and the swift moving action is relieved by flashes of genuine comedy. The supporting cast includes May Robson, Julia Faye, Virginia Bradford, and T. Roy Barnes. On Saturday the Universal serial will be shown, "The Vanishing Rider," featuring William Desmond. Opportunity contest will be held at 9 p.m., at which time three cash prizes will be given the lucky contestants as chosen by the audience, portray the leading roles. A LAVISH EASTER WEEK OFFERING AT THE HOWARD THEATRE ALL NEXT WEEK As a fitting tribute to the ending of the Lenten season and the beginning of the spring festivities Irvin C. Miller will present his outstanding show achievement, "Broadway Rastus," at the Howard Theatre all text week. The older folks who have kept in touch with shows will remember that "Broadway Rastus" was the outstanding attraction some years ago, the producer, Irvin C. Miller, has had a constant stream of requests from every city in the country that he reproduce this phenomenal hit. In so doing, Mr. Miller has decided not only to reproduce "Broadway Rastus" in its entirety, but will also play the part of "Broadway Rastus," which role he so successfully played some years ago. Others who will be seen in this attraction are Emmett Anthony, S. H. Dudley, Jr., Teddy Blackburn, and Brown and Pearl. On the screen for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be seen Johnny Hines in "White Pants Willie." This picture is a screen adaptation of the Liberty magazine serial story of the same name by the humorist, Elmer Davis. "White Pants Willie" is said to abound in humorous sequences, one of the most hilarious being a fast polo match played by crack players with the comedian being mis- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1928 thrust to win SECOND WANAMAKER CONTEST FOR NEGRO COMPOSERS NOW OPEN tion of a scholarship present by the association annually.

BELTRAM BARKER RUNS BIG TIRE SHOP HERE BELTRAM BARKER RUNS BIG TIRE SHOP HERE On the corner of Fifth and R streets, northwest, extending for half a block toward Rhode Island avenue, is the tire and automobile accessory business of Beltran Larker, a local man who has been seven years in the tire business. Mr. Barker has a most modern plant, which includes all equipment for washing, greasing and oiling motor cars. A mechanical hoist lifts the car to a position where a full-size man can work underneath with the high-pressure grease-gun, or other equipment. There is an electrical washing machine, which has been in operation for the last four years. This was the first machine of this type, in a Negro establishment in Washington. Mr. Barker has also two gasoline tanks; and handles the various grades of oil that are necessary in the business. As impressive as this lay-out may be, Mr. Barker's finest equipment is for tire business. He is a "tire specialist"; and his work has been recognized by the Goodrich Company to the extent that he does the repair work for its local branch. He learned his methods of repairing in the Goodrich Factory at Akron, Ohio. His equipment is factory equipment; and he can rebuild tires to wear like new tires. Mr. Barker says that the right kind of service and advice, will solve the tire difficulties of most people. "Such services" he continues, "as inspecting tires regularly for defects or injuries, is a service that the dealer should accompany by facilities to make the necessary repairs." "Service is a feature of the tire business which is being recognized as of growing importance each day. The word service itself for many years has meant merely a figure of speech in many branches of the automobile business, including the retail tire field. "Of the many kinds of service the tire man can give his customers none is as important as that of keeping his tires in repair.
