Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin. It aims to punish state and municipal officers who fail to take proper precautions to protect individuals from mob attacks as well as to punish those who participate in mob violence. The bill would make it a felony for any three or more persons to act in concert, without authority of law, for the purpose of depriving any person of his life or doing him physical injury, and to consummate their purpose by death or injury to such person. Upon conviction they would be subject to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year nor more than five years, or by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by both fine and imprisonment. Any state or municipal officer, charged with the duty or possessing the authority or power to protect the life of any individual who may be injured or killed by a mob, fails or neglects to take proper precautions to protect an individual from the attacks of a mob, and death or injury results, would be punished upon conviction by imprisonment for a term of not less than two years nor more than ten years, or by a fine of not exceeding $10,000, or both. Charge of Felony Any state or municipal officer who has a prisoner in his charge and failed to take proper precautions to protect him from mob violence would be guilty of a felony and subject to a like punishment. Officers who conspire with other persons to injure or kill a prisoner, and that prisoner is injured or killed, would be guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not less than two years nor more than ten years, or by a fine of not exceeding $10,000, or by both fine and imprisonment. The bill provides that whenever it appears to a United States district court of the judicial district in which mob violence occurs that public sentiment in the district over which the state court has jurisdiction makes it improbable that a fair trial will be had of per- (Continued on page 2) Washington Tribune BISHOP J.

Norris, presiding elder; Hagerstown district, Rev. J. E. Collins, presiding elder; Centreville district, Rev. William Chew, presiding elder, and the Easton district, Rev. R. E. Ford, presiding elder. The larger part of the Wednesday morning session was taken up with the conference reports of pastors. Bishop Johnson insisted upon each pastor paying the assessment against his charge for traveling expenses of delegates from this conference to the General Conference which will be held in Chicago in May. Pastors who failed to report this a.sessment were told by Bishop Johnson to write the amount into their reports and see to it that it was paid before the reading of appointments on Sunday night. Emergency Fund Bishop Johnson also insisted upon the payment of the special emergency fund to wipe out an indebtedness of the conference. He had the two presiding elders to confer with the ministers in their respective districts during recess Wednesday, on the payment of this emergency fund. The session was begun with devotional exercise. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. Mack B. Simpson, of Frostburg, Md. 'Bishop Johnson omitted his annual address. The conference was organized with the election of Dr. Charles L. Wesley as secretary; the Rev. John Lammond of Chestertown, Md., as recording secretary; the Rev. J. W. Armstrong of Camp Parole, Md., as assistant secretary; the Rev. C. E. Walden, of Washington, as statistician; and the Rev. E. T. Addison, of Easton, Md., as secretary to the Bishop.

Bishop Brooks presided for a while. Committees made their reports. The total amount of dollar money reported was $10,808. W. M'KINLEY MURRAY MUCH IMPROVED William McKinley Murray, one of the firm of Murray Brothers' Printing Company, Incorporated, and a member of the Virginia bar, is much improved since his four weeks' stay at Freedmen's Hospital. He is now at his home in Alcxandria, Va. Mr. Murray was ordered to the hospital by his physician because of a heart condition from which he was suffering. He is not yet fully recovered, but is up and about, and has made several visits to Washington in recent weeks. TWELVE-YR.-OLD GIRL ASSAULTED, MAN IS HELD TWELVE-YR.-OLD GIRL ASSAULTED, MAN IS HELD Daniel Cee Carroll, 24 years old, said to be a chauffeur for a local taxicab agency, is being held by police of the Eighth Precinct for alleged assault on 12-year-old Anna Simms, a pupil at Wilson Graded School. The attack, according to the story told a Tribune reporter by the child's sister, occurred last Monday night, in the basement of the California Apartments, 1775 California street, northwest. Anna, it is said, was sitting in the living room of the janitor's apartment, when Carroll opened the door and walked in. The man, according to the child's story, clapped his hand over her mouth and carried her bodily to another part of the basement where rugs and carpets were stored. After the alleged assault had taken place, Anna said the man told her if she exposed him he would kill her. Carroll, it is said, until about a year ago, had worked as a carpenter at the California Apartments. While he had been friendly with the janitor and his wife, the child's guardians, Carroll had never before visited the apartment at night. The attack took place at about 9:45 p.m. He is believed to have been drunk. Preliminary hearing scheduled for yesterday (Thursday) was continued to Friday morning. GARVEY SEAMEN WILL GET WAGES AFTER LONG WAIT GARVEY SEAMEN WILL GET WAGES AFTER LONG WAIT The Senate committee on claims last Monday favorably reported the bill for the relief of certain seamen who are judgment creditors of the Black Star Line, incorporated, for wages. The committee recommended that the bill be amended to confer upon the Court of Claims jurisdiction to hear, adjudicate and render judgment in favor of any person or corporation entitled to receive any part of the sum of $21,624.66 belonging to the Black Star Line which has been paid in the United States treasury by the United States Shipping Board on account of a purchase by the Black Star Line of the steamship Orion. The judgment creditors, for whose relief this bill was introduced, were common seamen on a ship known as the Kanawah. They secured their judgments in the United States district court for the southern district of New York on December 16, 1921. The amount of the judgment was $12,303.35. PRUDENTIAL BANK PASSES HALF-MILLION MARK The Prudential Bank has passed the half million dollar mark in resources, according to the last statement of its financial condition.

ASK BOARD OF EDUCATION TO REVISE ELIGIBILITY LIST At a meeting of parents of graduates in division 10-14, which was held at John Wesley, A. M. E. Zion Church, Tuesday evening, April 3, a resolution was passed asking the Board of Education to make up its eligible register from the Normal School classes of 1924, '25, '26, '27 and '28. The resolution points out that there will be no class to graduate in June, 1929, because of the extension of the normal course to three years. The parents of the graduates of these classes are of the opinion that it would be but fair to make up the list of eligibles for elementary teachers from the classes of the last five years. The resolution was signed by Eugene F. Jackson, chairman; Mrs. Mildred E. Jones and Mrs. Anabell Gambrell. A. M. E. Z. BISHOP MUST REFUND $1,100.00 CHARLOTTE, N. C.—Bishop L. W. Kyles, chairman of the Finance Committee of the A. M. E. Zion Church, has been ordered to turn over $1,100 to the Western North Carolina Conference. The vote was taken at the mid-year conference which met at Statesville, N. C. April 11. The money was raised by the conference three years ago to be applied on a fund with which a teachers' cottage was to be built at Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.C. The funds were turned over to presiding Bishop, L. W. Kyles for the proper disposition. Certified public accountants are making an audit of the financial accounts of the church following certain disclosures made by Bishops at Philadelphia a few weeks ago. In an article in The Star of Zion, the official organ of the Zion Church, April 5, Bishop E. D. W. Jones of Washington, D. C., called attention to what he termed "gross irregularities". His threat to expose certain financial transactions at the coming general conference caused quite a stir in the church during the past week. At the Statesville Conference, Bishop Kyles stated that he was still holding the money raised for the teachers' cottage three years ago. Immediately a motion was carried directing that the Bishop surrender the money and that it be appropriated to Livingstone College. WIFE UNFAITHFUL; ASKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE Through Attorney John H. Wilson, John Washington, 770 Morton street, northwest, last Friday, filed suit in the District Supreme Court for an absolute divorce from his wife, Mrs. Ophelia Washington, 1227 Howison street, southwest. He named Jimmy Gross, 225 M street, southwest, as the co-respondent. In his bill of complaint, Mr. Washington alleges that his wife committed adultery in 1919 and 1920, but he forgave her upon her promise to cease associations with the co-respondent. She failed to keep her promise, and misconducted herself with the corespondent in Howison place, southwest, during the year 1924, he states. He and his wife lived together, however, at No. 45 C street, southwest, until August 28, 1927, when Mrs. Washington deserted him, he says. They were married in the District in June, 1910. WOMAN'S SUICIDE SAID TO HAVE BEEN RESULT OF ATTACK The suicide of Mrs. Hattie Dinger, white, 200 S. Capitol street, Monday, is said, by Dr. Joseph D. Rogers, to have been caused by mental derangement which was the result of an alleged attack, May 24, 1927. Louis Johnson, 22 years old, who gave an address in Morgan street, northeast, was arrested shortly after and charged with assault with a dangerous, weapon. He is alleged to have used a sashweight. MARYLAND GOVERNOR PROBES JAILING OF BOYS ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 19 (PNS)—Gov.

A. M. E. ZION CHURCH IN AFRICA MAY OUTGROW PARENT BODY HERE CRUEL HUSBAND BEATS WIFE AND CHILDREN; SUED Mrs. Kewee Taylor, 409 H street, northwest, last Friday asked the District. Supreme Court to grant her a limited divorce from David Taylor. She charges cruelty. The first five years of married life were "comparatively happy," says Mrs. Taylor. Her husband then began as systematic course of abuse and mistreatment of her, she claims. Shortly before the birth of her third child, Benjamin, he pulled her out of bed, pushed her into the hall and ordered her to get out of the house, she charges. In 1923 he ordered her to leave the house at No. 406 Massachusetts avenue, northwest, and after she obeyed because of fear, he drove her children into the streets, she declares. They went to No. 6 station house and were sent to the House of Detention where they remained for three days. In June, 1926, he threw a milk bottle at her son, Samuel, and struck him in the head, she states. When she remonstrated with him, she says, he attempted to throw her out of a window. He failed but did throw her against a sink bruising her, she asserts. Dr. Thomas C. Smith treated her injuries. She alleges that in September, 1927, he threw a chair and a bottle at one of their children and then choked and beat her. When he came home from work on March 27, last, their daughter Inez did not open the door quick enough for him, she says, and he threw the child against a stove. When she went into the room to see what the trouble was, he struck her and threatened to kill her. The couple were married in June, 1918. They have five children: Samuel, 10; Inez, 9; Benjamin, 6; Florence, 4, and Thomas-LeRoy Taylor, 3 months old.

W. W. Matthews, Missionary Secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, whose office is in this city. DR. W. W. MATTHEWS, Missionary Secretary, A. M. E. Zion Church.

Jackson was to have been electrocuted Tuesday. Attorney John H. Wilson last Thursday, however, asked the court for another stay. He said that he wanted more time to study the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia with a view to applying to the Supreme Court of the United States for a writ of certiorari. Justice Siddons postponed the date of execution to May 15. Attorney Wilson stated Tuesday that he had not yet decided whether he would seek a review of the case in the Supreme Court. He said that there were some court decisions he wished to read before determining whether he would ask the Supreme Court to pass upon the decision of the Court of Appeals affirring the judgment of Justice Hoehling who denied Jackson a lunacy haring before a jury. The question of Jackson's sanity was raised after his trial and conviction when it was learned that he was the offspring of an incestuous relation between a brother and a sister.

Zion M. E. Church. Jeffries was 54 years old. He had been employed at the hotel for thirteen years, and made it his home. Jeffries had private sleeping quarters on the first floor of the building.

BLEASE CLAIMS HOOVER IS AFTER COLORED VOTE The abolishing of segregation in Government departments has aroused the ire of Senator Coleman L. Please, Democrat, of South Carolina. In the Senate last Monday he charged Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, and his campaign managers, Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, and Ogden L. Mills, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, with seeking to gain the Negro vote in the doubtful states by ending the segregation of colored and white employees in Government departments. The Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Please said, is using his influence with his campaign managers and assistants in other departments to do away with the separation of white and colored employees. For eight years, he states, the conditions under which they were working were not disturbed. After Mr. Hoover became a candidate for President, he abolished segregation in the census bureau of the Commerce Department and used his influence. Senator Blease claimed, to have it abolished in other departments. Social Equality Scare The action of Secretary Hoover, Secretary Work and Assistant Secretary Mills was denounced by Senator Blease as "a systematic plan to humiliate white girls from whatever part of this nation they may happen to come by placing some of them in the same category with Negro employees not only in the offices but in closets in the various departmentfeas." He added that "the time will come, if it has not yet arrived when the white people of this country will wake up to the serious attack that is being made upon them as a race by this attempt at social equality on the part of certain politicians, who, regardless of their rest for the white race are willing in order to get a few delegates from certain sections of this country, to go to any extent to humiliate white girls who are forced to work in the departments for a living." Typical Please Outburst This latest outburst of Senator Please was occasioned by the order of Secretary Work abolishing segregation in the Land Office of the Interior Department last Saturday.

TO ENTERTAIN BALTIMORE CONFERENCE The Baptist Ministers's Conference of Baltimore will be the guest of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of this city, and vicinity on next Monday, the joint session being scheduled for the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The Baltimore Conference will furnish the program for the occasion. On last Monday the conference of this city was addressed by Miss Willis and Dr. Boone, both returned missionaries from Africa. Miss Willis is a member of the Provident Baptist Church of this city, and has worked in Africa for fourteen years. She plans to return this year. Y.W.C.A. NOTES During the recent Y. W. C. A. campaign for funds, the finest possible co-operation was given by the ministers, churches, fraternal organizations and schools. Although the goal was not reached, cash and pledges to the amount of $13,892.92, which is $6,607.08 less than the $20,500 goal sought, was received. This assures the budget difference for the regular expenses of 1928, but does not reach the amount needed. The sum received over the maintenance fund will be set aside and held for dormitory and camp sites. Efforts are being continued to secure the desired amount. Girl Reserve Department The Girl Reserves will hold a spring social, Friday evening, April 20, from 8:30 to 11:30 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to all girl reserves and their friends to attend. On Sunday, April 22, Industrial Week begins with a special vesper program. Tuesday, April 24, there will be a club supper in the Rose Rooms. Thursday, April 25, there will be a special membership social program. Saturday evening, April 28, the week will end with a bazaar and frolic, at which time the popularity contest will close. Proceeds from this will be used for the summer conference. Over fifty girls from Hampton Institute were guests in the residence during their recent stay in the city. e Talk Su Town Church and Sunday School THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Dr. George O.

Telephone: Oakland 4101 "LEADING—BUT WHERE" By a Washington Minister "And God said unto them . . . . . . have dominion." Gen. 1:28. The book of Genesis has a fascination that is as challenging as it is unique. The simple artless story of creation has always held men spell-bound. If you will read that Book with the mind of a Christian and the soul of a poet you will come away from it with an over-mastering and thrilling assurance. It is a tonic to faith. I pity rather than sympathize with those who say they have difficulty in accepting the Bible because of the Book of Genesis, or who find it impossible to join the church because it refuses to eliminate the opening chapters of the Bible. Such persons seem not to realize that the laws of science and the laws of religion are not irreconcilable, and that the God who is author of both does not contradict Himself. It is the business of science to tell us how the heavens go, while it is the business of religion to tell us how to go to Heaven. The Book of Genesis is essentially not the story of Creation, but the story of the Creator. The writer of the Book does not attempt to go into the details of time, methods, processes, etc., but he gives us the fundamental source and background of all that is when he pens those first and sublime words of Scripture, "In the beginning God." The Book of Genesis therefore affirms, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt, the fundamental truth that at the root and origin of this world there stands a living, personal, present God. However the Book of Genesis may be interpreted, two facts stand out in clear relief. These facts are, first, that the origin of all creation is in God, and second, that the object of all creation is man. The world was not brought into being through blind chance and for no definite purpose. Behind all things is God; the object of all things is man. The Almighty never ceased in His creative work until man appeared, and when man appeared in the world nothing further was created. The great purpose had been achieved and the object maintained. Man is, therefore, the crown of creation and without him the whole universe is meaningless, mechanical and dark. The physical world has no meaning except for a moral purpose. Everything exists, organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate, for one object, and that object is man. Under the feet of man all things are placed, and he is given full dominion over all creation—"And God said unto them," speaking to Adam and Eve "have dominion." If man is to have dominion over this world what is to be the character of that dominion? The assurance is given that man shall subdue the world, but how is he to subdue it? If man is to lead all creation, where is he to lead it and what is the nature of his conquest over it? If we will study history and interpret the forces by which man has conquered, he will find them to be three in number. First, everywhere in the world TO INSTALL PASTOR AND ORDAIN DEACONS On the coming Sunday at 3 p.m. Rev. L. O. Banks, of this city, will be formally installed as pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church of Calverton, Va. Also the whole board of deacons will be ordained at this service. The sermon of the dual occasion will be preached by Rev. J. D. Pair, and the charge to the pastor and deacons will be delivered by Rev. Charles P. Harris. Mrs. Thomas—"The landlord says if the rent isn't paid by saturday—out we g.") Thomas—"Fine! That gives us nothing to worry about for five days." there is evidence of a material dominion. With physical force man has subdued the physical universe. Earth's hidden treasures have yielded up their precious possessions to the physical labors and successes of man. Nature itself has been improved upon in the matter of plant and animal production. Barren fields have been made into fertile soil and valuable commercial lands. The earth, the sky, the ocean have all been made to bow to human dominion. Science has dominated every phase of material existence, and man dominates the physical realm. But the physical world does not exhaust the dominion of man. Indeed history holds the tragic truth that physical pessess and material excellence are often a menace and a danger. Such dominion is never sufficient; there is a higher dominion for man. This brings us to our second form of human dominion over the world—his intellectual dominion. There are two great gifts which God has given man which distinguish him from and exhalt him above all creation: the gifts of memory and imagination, the capacity of looking into both the past and into the future—both history and hope. Man has a glorious power of appreciation. He has a capacity to paint pictures and sing songs and write poems. He has the power to reason and to understand. By his intellectual gift he has been able to push back the hills of ignorance and cause the light of truth to play through the mists of doubt. He has conquered the physical universe because he understands the laws, principles and forces by which they function. Yet intellectual dominion is not the highest nor the final form of dominion for man. There are many things we can never understand or know. We cannot weigh the fragrance of a rose nor measure the affection of a mother. These, like innumerable other things, are beyond human comprehension. Life itself is held together by mystery. It is not the things we know, but the things we do not know that keep us struggling, toiling and praying. The supremacy of the mind is never final. There is a higher dominion. That ultimate and highest dominion is of necessity spiritual. Life never realizes its divine purpose and mission until it comes to a spiritual dominion over the world. It is not the mind but the heart that represents the ultimate and final conquest. They that know the truth are not equal to those who love it. The worst man in the world is apt to know what he ought to do better than the best man in the world is able to do it. The triumph of man over the world is not represented in material or intellectual supremacy but in moral triumph. That simple and wonderful woman scientist of France, Madam Curie, said again and again on the lecture platform in our country recently "The most important thing in the world is belief in the reality of spiritual forces." Indeed the whole present-day scientific enterprise is founded upon the reality of this unseen force. It is only unseen and spiritual values that hold the world together and give man dominion over it. WARRENTON, VA. There will be special services under the auspices of the Willing Workers' Club at the First Baptist Church the coming Sunday. Visiting ministers will speak both morning and night. These services are being held in the interest of the rally which has been scheduled for the third Sunday in May. On Friday evening, April 27, a program entitled, "A Trip Around the World" will be given. Scientists in South America have discovered a tunnel three miles long and several inches in diameter, made and used regularly by ants. WEEKLY SUNDAY By Rev. Chas. P. Harris, B.D. JESUS AND THE HOME (Read Mark 10:1-16) GOLDEN TEXT: "Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise." Ephesians 6:2. The Lesson Pre-View The lesson for the coming Sunday, bearing upon the home through the questions of marriage, divorce and children, is ultra-modern in its applicability. In it Jesus gives marriage an important place in His doctrine and guards the sanctity and sacredness of the home in His teaching regarding divorce. He also assigns to the child, the offspring and completion of the home, a place of great importance in His teaching and in His kingdom. It was the Pharisees who went to Jesus with the perplexing but practical question of divorce. After refreshing them on the subject as Moses treated it, Jesus gave them His own interpretation of Mosaic law and of the Divine Purpose with reference to marriage and divorce. His interpretation seems to be that in the beginning CRITICIZES USE OF ATHEISTIC REPRESENTATIVES In a letter addressed to him by James Weldon Johnson, of the N. A. A. C. P., requesting his resumption of his recently discontinued support of the association, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church of this city, replied in terms of bitterest criticism of the association's use of the theatrical speakers as its representatives. Referring to a representative of the association who a year ago denounced and ridiculed the idea of the existence of God and religion generally from pulpits Rev. Brooks commented, "This is something new in the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Clarence Darri Here Sunda Clarence Darrow to Speak Here Sunday, April 22 1 Hon. CLARENCE DARROW Hon Clarence Darrow, the great monarch, and friend of the oppressed, will speak here for the N. A. A. C. P. Sunday afternoon. April 22, at 3:30 in the immense pavilion at Suburban Gardens, 50th and Hayes Streets, N. E. His subject will be "The Past and Future of the Negro." Seats and amplifiers will be provided so that all can hear. Arrangements are being made with the street company to furnish adequate care service and the management of the Gardens is arranging to accommodate the cars of all motorists. Mr. Darrow has volunteered to give a limited series of lectures this spring, the net proceeds of which shall be divided between the John Brown Memorial Fund and the N. A. A. C. P. He is giving his services to these causes, but each city in which he speaks must guarantee, for the purposes named, a net of $1,000, no part of which will Mr. Darrow accept. Washington, where the new slavery is making such headway, is fortunate to have this librarian come here and speak. Every col- Y.M NDAY MOOL LESSON one man and one woman were created each for the other, and that a plurality of wives and of husbands was not in the Divine Mind and purpose. Marriage is God's idea and institution, while divorce is the idea and institution of man. Jesus teaches in the lesson that God's idea and institution should not be superseded by the idea and institution of man—"What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." Marriage is therefore, a divine joining together of the contracting parties, after which "they are no more twain, but one flesh." Through this divine institution man comes nearest to regaining the Eden of his original but lost paradise. The home is incomplete without the child. Christ's words and conduct as cited in the latter part of our lesson give His estimation of the importance of the child. When little children were brought to Him He fondled them in His arms, and likened the subjects of the Kingdom of God unto them. He assigned the child an important place in His kingdom. Says He, "Whoseover shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." People." Dr. Brooks read his letter before the Baptist Ministers' Conference on last Monday, and it was adopted by the conference as expressive of the sentiment of that body. The conference also adopted a resolution stating it as, "the sense of this body that all infidels, atheists etc., should be debarred from the pulpits of the members of this conference." . Companionate Marriage Condemned For having indorsed companionate marriage at the University of Spain Prof. Jimenez Asua was suspended from the faculty. The board of governors took the ground that the university was not the proper place for such propaganda. —The Pathfinder. row to Speak y, April 22 ored man and woman should hear Mr. Darrow. Admission will be by card, and the local branch N. A. A. C. P. will issue these cards free to all members of the Association whose dues for 1928 shall have been paid on or before the day of meeting and with this fund provide the guarantees required and pay the expenses of the meeting. For the reason all members and those waiting to hear Mr. Darrow are urged to register and get these card admission. No one will be admitted without a card. Thousands were unable to in and hear him when he spoke here last year. The city affords no place available to us large enough to hold such a meeting within doors and the management of Suburban Gardens has donated that spacious plant, with ample shelter in event of rain and unparalleled if the day is balmy. With the use of amplifiers the speech can be heard from any point in or near the pavilion.—Adv. .C.A. FIVE. SSON peak 22 A. FEDERAL RIGHTS WASHINGTON OF NEGROES IN MEDICS HONORED DANGER-SCOTT AT TUSKEGEE Dr. Emmett J. Scott, member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Committee, calls attention to the need of a bureau or organization of some character here in Washington to point out, when necessity arises, the character of proposed legislation affecting the interest of the Twelve Million colored people of the United States. Many an innocent-appearing bill, he says, is introduced from time to time, in the House of Representatives and in the Senate of the United States, having as a legal possibility the setting aside of some basic privilege or immunity designed for the benefit of a particular group or class of people. It is said that there are nearly 300 national organizations maintained at Washington for the purpose of detecting the introduction of such legislation affecting such groups. Recently a bill was introduced in Congress which would have removed practically every colored employee from the office of the Recorder of Deeds if Doctor Scott had not aroused the colored newspapers of the country and influential individuals and organizations, pointing out to them the result of such legislation, if passed. It was only because of the fact that prompt word was sent to the colored newspapers of the country and to the officers of the leading organizations of one kind and another that the effort was thwarted. Exils in Offing It now happens that there was introduced in the Senate of the United States on February 13, 1928, a bill, S 3151 (Report No. 626) "to limit the jurisdiction of District Courts of the United States." While the bill primarily appears to be designed to relieve the heavy dockets of Federal Courts, it is true, nevertheless, as has been pointed out, that this bill would seriously affect the rights of the colored people of the United States. If such rights should be in any way infringed and colored Americans should bring suit to enjoin action against City or State legislation or against individuals enforcing such legislation when such legislation violates the Federal Constitution as it affects colored people, jurisdiction will be limited under the terms of this bill and such cases will be referred to State courts for adjudication. Suggests Action Every step possible should be taken at once to prevent such legislation. Recent Supreme Court decisions such as the Louisville Segregation Case, the Oklahoma Grandfather Clause Case, the Texas Primary Litigation and the Alabama Peonage Decisions, would all have been decided by State courts if this bill had been in effect. As similar legislation arises in the future it would be limited by the Norris Bill to decision by State courts. Doctor Scott has suggested that these members of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate be communicated with at once and that letters be sent to Congressmen and influential friends of both parties calling attention to the result which would follow insofar as colored Americans are concerned, if this legislation should pass Congress. Influential leaders among the colored people everywhere should immediately get in touch with their friends in and out of Congress, that the result here indicated may not follow. The man who loves himself more than he loves other people is likely to find that he loves himself more than other people love him.

TUSKEGEE INST., Ala., Apr. 19.—A week of skilled clinical service to a large number of patients and of intensive study of medical and surgical problems was completed when the John A. Andrew Clinical Society closed its eleventh annual session here Saturday morning. The society organized "for the advancement of Negro physicians and surgeons in the science and art of medicine and surgery, and for the study and treatment of morbid conditions affecting thousands of needy sufferers in this section of the South" meets each year at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital of Tuskegee Institute. One thousand and fifty colored and white medical men from fifteen States attended the meeting of the society. They treated 450 patients, performed fifty major operations and a number of minor ones, heard a number of scientific papers on the practice of medicine and surgery. For the first time a motion picture was used as an instructional agency at the meeting. A film illustrating the diagnosis and treatment of infections of the hand was shown. Dr. Chrales H. Garvin of the Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, gave an informing illustrated lecture on genito-urinary diseases. This is the first meeting of the society he has attended.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1928 STORMY SESSION IS PREDICTED FOR A.M.E.CONF'NCE CHICAGO, April 20 (PNS)—There was an old saying which ran "All roads lead to Rome," but now, as it concerns the affairs of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, "All roads lead to Chicago," where the General Conference will be in session from May 7 to the end of the month. Stormy Session Predicted That this will be one of the stormiest sessions in the history of this church is seriously expected, and there is among the thousand delegates and others an uneasiness and a fear that something serious might happen. The something feared is "revolution" which has been declared imminent, even by some of the bishops. Bryant, Storm Petrel The "storm petrel" of the whole situation is Ira T. Bryant, head of the Sunday School department of the Connection, and the leader of the reform element. Mr. Bryant has repeatedly and publicly accused bishops of this church of graft and other acts constituting malfeasance and misfeasance in office. He has defied them and suggested that they vindicate themselves by prosecuting him for criminal libel; but these suggestions have been ignored all of which Bryant declares is to be evidence of guilt. If Mr. Bryant should present these charges to the General Conference and demand an investigation of them, as he is expected to do, then there will be a mighty stir. This man, a layman, has perhaps the largest following of any one member of the General Conference; he has the united support of the laymen and of many of the ministers who, for reasons obvious, are like Nicodemus, secret decipiles. "Watch Bryant," "Head off Bryant"; "Shut Bryant's mouth," will be some of the current slogans during the entire session. Bryden Seeks Committee Places In connection with Ira T. Bryant also will come the attempt to place laymen on the episcopal committee, a thing never before attempted in the A. M. E. Church. The argument will be, that it never was done before; that it will mean an encroachment on the rights of the ministry; that it will mean that the laymen will be active in investigating the conduct and pass- That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advisees - Women on Motherhood and Companionship A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught.

Readings $1.00 ment to this district will be more a liability than an asset. Those opposers affirm that Bishop Carey is purely selfish in wanting to serve this part of the work, while his supporters give him credit for the most altruistic motives. Carey's Political Job There will be thrashed out also the question of Bishop Carey's retaining his political position and his place as a bishop. Of course, nothing will come of that, because there is no law against such, and, moreover, other bishops have other interests outside of their episcopal work. Seek to Cut Off Salary But there will be a strong effort to force Bishop Carey to give the salary from the position of Civil Service Commissioner, that which is received as a bishop. That will fail also, for Bishop Carey challenges the other bishop to give up all of their income from investments and interests when they direct outside their duties bishops. This storm will power, but the matter of the district assignments will not be so car settled. HOWARD TO DEBATE NORTHWESTERN UNIV Despite the adverse criticism and subsequent cancellation of the proposed interracial debate between Northwestern University, of Evanston, Ill., and Shaw University, the blond mid-western lads presenting Northwestern are to debate with the Kappa Sigmas Debating Society of Howard University at the Armstrong auditorium, Friday evening, May 4. The subject for debate is "Resolved, that the principles of the Baumes act of New York be enacted in the several states." The Howard debaters will be Robert E. Dandridge and Robert Burrell. Miss Avis Andrews, Howard student and stellar soprano, will render several selections as will the Howard University Glee Club. HOWARD STUDENTS MARRY AFTER SHORT ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Albert A. Poole, of 214 N street, northwest, recently announced the marriage of their daughter, Ruth Louise Poole, a senior at Howard University, to Virgil M.

Private Ambulance Phone, Franklin 3108 ing on the character of bishops, and in the assignment of bishops to the various districts. It is Mr. Bryant's contention that the laymen are entitled to a place and a say in the affairs of this super-important committee since they supply the "sinews of war" for the church. He contends further, that with laymen on this committee it would not be so easy to "whitewash" where bishops are accused of wrong-doing. It is said that there are two, and perhaps three of the bishops favor the "conspiracy", but as a whole, the bishops are unalterably opposed. But the general attitude is, "We will wait and see". Carey-Gaines Controversy The "Carey-Gaines Affair" will divide the conference into two distinct groups, the one justifying an supporting Bishop A. J. Carey and the other condemning him and supporting Bishop A. L. Gaines. It is reported by some of the Gaines supporters that the loss of Sinai Temple property by the Bethel congregation was due to h tiltion on the part of Bishop Carey, who could have saved the church the humiliation and the inconvenience, but would not because he was willing to see Bishop Gaines discredited. The Carey defenders claim that Bethel folk suffered the humiliation and the loss rather than accept the assistance of Bishop Carey, the most influential Negro in Chicago. Those pro-Carey folk contend that the Bishop could have secured for the use of the General Conference the present place or one equally serviceable without cost, if the local committee, headed by Bishop Gaines had consulted Bishop Carey before they rushed into the contract to pay, $3,000 rental for the armory in which the conference will be held. And so the contention goes on at a merry clip. The Crux of the Situation The crux of the entire situation is the struggle between the two bishops for assignment to the Fourth Episcopal District by the coming General Conference, and the bitterness caused by this struggle will be evident in all the work of entertaining the conference. On one side it is argued that Bishop Carey is needed over this district because he has such tremendous influence and can do more to build up the church in Chicago than any other bishop. From the other camp comes the contention that because of political alliances with corruption, Bishop Carey has lost his influence and his assign- Open Evenings and Sundays.

VANQUISHED ‘Four Horsemen’ Surprised By Alpha Big 5 The crack “Four Horsemen” of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity went down to stinging defeat be- fore apne Rummins’ Alpha Phi Alpha Lighting Five in the final game of the Kappa-Alpha titular series at the Colonnade last Sat- urday. The score was 31-24. The victory carries with it the cbam- pionship of the Howard Univer- sity Interfraternity League. Lois Williams, from the “soil of the west.” heretofore unher- alded, lightly held and barely ever considered a serious threat, came through with flying colors as the hero of the victorious Gold and Black clan. The Kan- sas lad, kept out of all the eén- tesis prior to the final Kappa engagement, sank 5 double- deckers and 3 free throws to lead the afternoon's scorers. Alphas Hold Lead Rummins’ quint went into the van early in the first stanza, and although the Kappas managed to climb to within a few points of their opponents at various inter- vals, the Kappa clan was never able to cage the pointers which would tie the count. At the sound of the rest period whistle Alpha led 20-12. The absence of Kay arigg and Deck McLean from the Alpha line- up, at first thought by Alpha sup- porters to be a serious. handicap to their team, had little or no ef- fect on the working of the ma- chine.

On Sunday and Monday, April 22 and 23, Broadway shows in Paramount's latest production starring the international actor, Emil Jannings in "The Last Command". This picture is a worthy successor to Jannings' previous production, "The Way of All Flesh". In "The Last Command" Jannings does an unbelievable splendid characterization of a Russian general and is then torn from his riches and might by the revolutionists. "The Last Command" is a strictly poignant drama of love and mystery. Supporting Jannings are Evelyn Brent and William Powell. "The Last Command" is a super-special picture. For Tuesday only, the feature picture will be "Vanity" with Leatrist Joy, Charles Ray and Alan Hale. It is the story of a girl reared along social register lines. Carefully sheltered from the brutal forces of life, believing implicit in the rules of the game as dictated by her friends, she is quite incapable of understanding that there are other standards for other people. For Wednesday and Thursday, the screen attraction will be "Wallflowers", with Temple Bailey, "Wallflowers" is the tale of a young man whose father leaves him a large fortune on the condition that he does not marry until his fortieth birthday.

For Friday and Saturday the feature picture will be "Peaks of Destiny" with an all-star cast. The story unwound is one of thrilling incident, and the characters are portrayed with a deftness that colors the picture throughout. "Teaks of Destiny" works up to a truly great climax. Country store is held on Saturday. "THE LEGION OF THE CON- DEMNED" AT REPUBLIC.

The feature picture will be Paramount's aviation thriller, "The Legion of the Condemned," with Fay Wray and Gary Cooper, the screen's newest lovers. "The Legion of the Condemned" is the story of a valiant band of youths whose last illusion and first women were dim memories. They had tried everything in life but death . . . and death they eagerly courted. You'll see one of the greatest dramatic sensations of the year when you see "The Legion of the Condemned". On, the Vitaphone will be presented Sissle & Blake, the international stars of syncopation. You'll hear these foremost colored artists on the stage today. Vincent Lopez and his orchestra will play a program of popular num- Itory in the apas bers as only Lopez can play them.

In their original agreement the Companies proposed a 7% return on their value. The Public Utilities Commission decided that the rate of return should be left to future determination and the Companies have accepted this decision. The new Agreement is a compromise. It is a compromise which promises to turn over a new page in the transportation history of the Capital where the unsatisfactory conditions of past years will cease and the management of the new Company, with the public behind it and ready to give it a fair trial, will bend its energies towards the solving of the complex and difficult problems confronting the development of Greater Washington. It is a compromise which, the Companies believe, will work to the best interests of the public of Washington and ALL those having at heart the growth and beautification of The Nation's Capital.

WILLIAM F. HAM President The merger will enable the car rider to travel from one end of the city to another, in any direction, for just one fare. This has been one of the chief aims of Merger proponents for many years. Every car rider can picture to himself what that means. Unified operation will make possible better equipment, more direct routes, saving of time and improved service. It is easy for anyone to visualize quicker means of getting "there" over the network of lines already existing, when they are unified. Immediately after Merger the Public Utilities Commission undoubtedly will hold public hearings as to just what re-routing plans should be adopted, to the end that the New Company may serve Washington from border to border and out to the neighboring Maryland communities with directness, with dispatch, with dependability. The Companies established before the Public Utilities Commission that they offered for rate-making purposes, of properties to be merged-based on the principle laid down by the District Court of Appeals in the Capital Fraction valuation case, would be approximately $62,500,000. In order to bring about a Merger, however, they offered the compromise figure of $50,000,000. The Public Utilities Commission with all the evidence of its experts before it, has decided to approve this Valuation as a tentative rate base. Strong opposition developed before the Commission to fixing any permanent valuation because values might decrease in the future. The Commission therefore insisted on the condition that there could be a revaluation at the end of ten years. In the interest of Merger, the Companies have agreed to this condition. Therefore the Commission may begin a revaluation whenever it chooses and put it into effect at the end of ten years. Washington Rapid Transit Co. HARLEY, P. WILSON sight to the neighborhood. He was jovial and most cordial and by being so made many friends while in business. Prior to his opening the business in which he was engaged at the time of his death, Mr. Staley was building superintendent of the True Reformers Hall, now known as the Pythian Temple. Mr. Staley was a member of the Syracuse Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the True Reformers, Mt. Pelier Lodge. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 2 o'clock from the Buny Funeral Parlors. Rev. Booker Sydnor, of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, officiated. He was assisted by Rev. John Wright. Mr. Staley is survived by his wife, Mollie-Staley; a daughter, Blanche Brown; a brother, Reginald, and granddaughter, Bernice Brown.

The corporation, now in the hands of receivers, is alleged to have entered into a contract with the plaintiffs for the erection of the Masonic Hall at Tenth and U streets, northwest. The Summers and Todd Co., through its attorney, William Wendell, declares that the agreement called for the erection of the steel structure for the building by them. Having complied with their part of the contract, the plaintiffs allege that the New Masonic Hall Corporation paid them only $1,500 of the entire amount of over $30,000. Among the nine counts of the plaintiff's declaration is: rental on equipment which included a large crane, personal services, profits on contract work and cost of equipment. Jesse H.
