Heroic Rescue Made in $10,000 U St. Fire FACULTY CENSORSHIP OF HILLTOP ORDERED BY PRES. JOHNSON FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. XII, No. 44 Hero FACULTY CER HILLTOP O PRES. J By Samuel Lacy A committee of four students, named by the Howard University Student Council, last week, went before the Faculty Discipline Committee in defense of Walker H. Jordon, a student, who was summoned to appear before the teachers, and give reason for his authority of an article which appeared in The Hillop, a student publication, of April 11. Jordon's article, under the caption, "Just Rumor?" was in the form of a suggestion that the circulation of a bit of scandal involving several professors was not merely rumor, but as the adage goes perhaps "more truth than poetry." Teachers Aroused The charges of the youth and his convictions served to arouse theire of the faculty, and although no particular professor was named, an investigation was begun. On April 14, Jordan was taken before the disciplinarians, and a demand was made of Jordan, that he produce the names of the teachers he alluded to and the nature of the charges against them. This he did with the understanding that what information he gave the committee was not to be divulged. The Committee Last Monday, Jordon was again requested to appear before the committee of teachers, which includes Porfe_sor Frank Coleman, chairman; V. C. Williams, J. H. Jones, F. C. Wilkinson, W. E. West and Dean of Women Lucy D. Slowe. Meanwhile the Student Council had been busy, and when Jordon reported at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon for the "airing," he was accompanied by four representatives of the Council, Gladys Jamison, James F. Goodwin, Robert J. Mance, and William H. Hopkins. The developments of that meeting: have remained "on the shelf" No, one but those involved actually know what happened. It is presumed, however, that the teachers were advised that the Council is whole heartedly in support of the Jordon article, and that the student body itself is soured on any professor who promises an "A" scholastic rating to young women of the school in return for their acceptance of his attentions. The Hilltop Muzzling An attempt to muzzle The Hilltop was made soon after the article appeared. President Mordecai W. Johnson appointed three faculty members as a committee of censors to pass on all news before (Continued on page 2) STATEMENT OF NATION'L BENEFIT SETS RECORD The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city is the largest business owned and operated by Negroes in the world, according to the annual statement made public this week by the company. The statement marks the close of the twenty-ninth year of the company's existence. It shows total assets of $5,839,198.62 with insurance in force aggregating $73,897,069; cash in bank is given at $513,863.85; real estate owned by the company is listed at $1,138,272.53; the legal reserve on policies put aside by the company is $4,526,132. During the year of 1927 the company collected as premium income, $3,418,419.25. During this same period, $39,183,998 in new business was put in force. The figures presented in the report represent an epoch-making achievement for Negro business. According to a statement made by R. H. Rutherford, president, and S. W. Rutherford, secretary-manager, "no such reservoir of financial resources has ever been before at the disposal of any Negro corporation or of the race. "It is a dramatic story," says Mr. Rutherford, "of the realization of the ideals of the founder and of his associate officers." Contuing he said, "Negro dollars flowing through Negro business channels will solve for us in the future, as it has solved for all other races, the question of economic advancement." The National Benefit is licensed to do business in twenty-six states. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. PUBLISHED WEEKLY Oic Res ENSORSHIP OF ORDERED BY JOHNSON NSORSHIP OF RDERED BY OHNSON DARROW PRAISES NEGRO,RIDICULES THE CHURCH By Louis R. Lautier Painting a dark picture of the lot of the Negro in America, Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer and champion of civil liberties, in an open-air speech in the pavilion at Suburban Gardens last Sunday declared that the Negro himself must carry on the fight for equality. He predicted success in the end. The doors of Washington churches had been barred to Mr. Darrow because of his atheism. He struck back in his speech by criticising preachers for their selfishness. He ridiculed the idea of the existence of a god. If there is a god, he said, he must be white because he witnessed all the sorrow and suffering of black people and did nothing about it. Bishop John A. Hurst of the A. M. E. Church, who was present, left before Mr. Darrow had concluded. In a statement issued by Neval H. Thomas, he stated that Bishop Hurst told him before the meeting began that he could not remain through the entire meeting because of other engagements. For this reason he sat in the audience so he could leave without molesting the speaker. The daily papers carried stories giving the impression that the bishop left because of what Mr. Darrow said. Mr. Thomas denied this. Praises N. A. A. C. P. He urged the colored people to support their institutions. He commended to them the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He praised the late Booker T. Washington and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. He also praised Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, James Weldon Johnson, Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes. Mr. Darrow was introduced by Nevel H. Thomas, president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There were no devotional exercises at the beginning nor bending at the close. The audience sang "America." Mr. Darrow re-raised seated. Miss Mary P. Burrill read "Abou Ben Adhem." The introduction of Mr. Darrow followed. A misty rain during the day kept the crowd away. Only 500 persons heard Mr. Darrow speak. They sat on wooden benches without backs which had been provided for this occasion. EXCERPTS FROM DARROW'S ADDRESS "Of course, I am aware that the preachers, who not only try to keep the people in midnight but try to take them there, have raised some objections. That is all right. I do not blame them. They are getting a living. They do not want any money to get away from the church, and if the people are willing to follow them and let them put it over, it is none of my business." God "If there is a god, he saw the first slave ship come across the water and every other one. He knew all about it. You cannot give him any information. There is nothing I can tell him or nothing that the preachers can tell him that will give him any information. He has witnessed all the sufferings of blacks as well as other people. He has seen you dyin' between the decks on the ocean while you were coming to a land of slavery, not to a land of freedom. He has seen the race suffering for 300 years as slaves in America. He has seen them hanged on scaffolds and on trees and burned at the stake, and he did not have anything 'to say about it. He did not seem to care.

MAN PLEADS OWN ASSAULT CASE AND WINS Pleading his own case before Judge Robert E. Mattingly, in United States Branch Police Court. Wednesday, Samuel Jennings, 411 O street, northwest, completely shattered alleged evidence that he had assaulted Amy Wright, 1023 Fourth street, northwest, Tuesday night. Mrs. Wright took the stand against Jennings, an employee of Kann's Department Store, and charged that the man was one whom she believed had attempted on several occasions to make a "date" with her. These attempts which were made by phone calls, became so numerous and bother some, Mrs. Wright declared, that she notified police headquarters. Tuesday night, when one of the calls came, two detectives of the second precinct were at the woman's house. They advised her to make the engagement and go through with it. She did. Leaving her home on Fourth street, Mrs. Wright alleged that Jennings followed her to First and M streets, where the meeting was to take place. When she stopped at the corner, Mrs. Wright declared, Jennings called out something about her being a "police pimp", and threw a brick at her. The missile, according to the woman, struck her on the arm, and then a bottle thrown by Jennings hit her. Dver Testifies Officer Dyer, plain-colthes man, called as a witness, testified that he actually saw Jennings, from his position in a nearby doorway, approach Mrs. Wright and begin pummeling her with an object which he held in his hand. Jennings brought out that he was a working man of good standing at his place of employment, and that he had five children of whom he was sole support. He asked why he should deliberately attack a woman whom he had never seen nor spoken to before in his life. Jennings also called attention to the fact that the testimony was conflicting. The policeman declared that Jennings had approached Mrs. Wright by crossing the street from the direction of the triangle at First and M, and that he began pummelling the woman with a brick held in his hand. The complainant said that Jennings had followed her down Fourth street, and had thrown the brick. Judge Mattingly took his personal bond. TEACHERS HEAR CHICAGO EDUCATOR Last Thursday evening, the teachers and officers of the local colored public schools listened to W. W. Charters of the school of education of the University of Chicago, lecture on "Ideals in curriculum building." Another idea of modern curricula is that students must be given work in accordance with their ability; that the bright pupils must be caused to do more, the average pupils to carry the minimum load and the less gifted pupils be allowed to follow such a course as will enable them to succeed. Leading cities are publishing curricula in loose leaf form so that they may be changed to meet changing conditions. For the past fifteen years Washington colored schools have been doing all the things suggested by Professor Charters, except publishing loose leaf courses of study. The teachers and officers were, however, pleased to have their own findings confirmed by such an au thority as the lecturer. PERRY W. HOWARD SCORES VICTORY OVER LILY WHITES IN MISSISSIPPI "If the Zion denomination in other cities had made the progress it has made in Washington during the past four years, it would be one of the richest bodies in America," said S. M. Dudley, church extension secretary of the Zion connection. "The growth in other cities, however," continued Mr. Dudley, S. M. DUDLEY, who has been instrumental in the purchase of church property. church property. "has been phenomenal." Mr. Dudley is closing his report for the year, preparatory to presenting it to the general conference which meets in St. Louis, Mo., next week. S. M. Dudley is closing his first term in office as church extension secretary, to which he was elected at the last general conference. Upon being elected he immediately gave up his lucrative law practice here and devoted his entire time to rehabilitating the church property. Through his efforts the local Zion church has secured one of the finest pieces of property owned by any church in this city. About three years ago he arranged and put through a deal whereby his connection purchased the Windsor Apartment house at 1425 T street, northwest. This is a seven-story modern apartment building. It now houses two of the church departments, the office of the missionary secretary and the office of the church extension secretary. Among the notable achievements of Mr. Dudley during his four years of service are the saving of the following churches: Walters A.M.E. Zion Church, Chicago, Ill.; St. Matthews Church, Chicago, Ill.; and churches at Jacksonville, Fla. Pine Bluff Ark., Oklahoma City, and at other places. In Washington through the efforts of Mr. Dudley, practically every Zion church has increased its property holdings during the past four years. Metropolitan John Wesley, Union Wesley and Trinity have now property valued more than $600,000. The valuation of property owned by the entire church in this city is estimated at nearly a million dollars. At the request of the Board of Bishops, Mr. Dudley was delegated to collect the statistics of every church in the denomination for the United States Census Bureau. This work included the membership—children and adults; the value of each church; the debt on each church; the value of each church parsonage; the debt on each parsonage; the amount raised and expended by each church, and the number of officers, teachers and scholars in each Sunday school. Mr. Dudley is a candidate for re-election at the general conference. He is making his fight on his record. Mr. Dudley was born in Alabama and has been a member of the Zion church all of his life. He is a trustee of John Wesley church of this city; a member of the board of management of the Y.M.C.A.; national treasurer of the U.M.C.A.; national Order of Helpers; a member of the District Bar, and a member of the Mu-So-Lit Club. JACKSON, Miss., April 27.—Having found a loop-hole in the injunction restraining them from meeting, the Republican organization, headed by Perry W. Howard, national committeeman for Mississippi, held its state convention here on April 18, and elected a "black and tan" delegation to the Republican national convention, which meets in Kansas City, Mo., June 12. Six of the twelve delegates elected are colored. The delegation will go to the national convention uninstructed. Contrary to expectations, the convention failed to instruct its delegates to vote for Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover for the Republican nomination for President. The failure to instruct the delegation for Hoover is believed to be an indication that the Secretary of Commerce may lose Mississippi's twelve votes which have been credited to him in advance of the convention. Whether these delegates will vote for Hoover will depend upon his attitude in the "lily white" fight which has been more intense in this state than in any other. Hoover, who is said to be on friendly terms with the "lily whites" in this state, must reject the "lily white" support and declare his approval of the "black and tan" Republicans. Otherwise Mississippi's twelve delegates may support former Governor Frank O. Lowen. Perry W. Howard The convention instructed its delegates to vote for the re-election of Perry W. Howard as national committeeman and Mrs. Mary C. Booze, of Mound Bayou, as national committeewoman. Resolutions were adopted praising the administration of President Coolidge and the handling of party affairs by the national committeeman and national committeewoman. Mr. Howard addressed the convention at length. He attacked the "illy whites" for attempting to set up in Mississippi a white Republican party. He predicted the re- FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR GRAVES, CAFEMAN FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR GRAVES, CAFEMAN Funeral services for Joseph S. Graves, prominent local cafe owner, were held Sunday from the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor. JOSEPH S. GRAVES, local cafe owner, who died last week. in delivering the eulogy characterized Mr. Graves as a leader in his field, and as a gentleman. He spoke of the many friendships Mr. Graves had gained while operating Grave's Cafe, at 20 G street, northwest. Born in Caswell County, N.C., Mr. Graves came to Washington in the late nineties and received an appointment in the Government Printing Office. After fifteen years of government service, Mr. Graves resigned and opened the business, which in the span of its fourteen years of existence has proven one of the most progressive enterprises in the city. Mr. Graves was a member of the Banneker and Crispus Attucks Relief Associations. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minnie L. Graves; one son, John A.; one brother, Wesley H. Jones, and two grandchildren, Sterling and Berenice Robinson. A ```markdown ``` TWO BURNED AS GARDENSTO OPEN CAR BLAZES AT WITH NEW DRESS GAS STATION AND MANAGEMT'T A report from Freedman's Hospital physicians, Wednesday, indicate that Jesse and Jennie Thompson, husband and wife who were severely burned when their automobile caught fire in front of a gasoline filling station at 306 Rhode Island avenue, last Saturday night, at 8:30 o'clock, stand fair chances of recovering. While Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, who live at 303 R street, northwest, were sitting in their car waiting for the gasoline tank to be filled, it burst into flame. So quickly did the fire spread that it had ignited the whole car before the man and his wife could get out of it. Mrs. Thompson was burned about the face, arms and body, while her husband suffered burning of his feet and hands. The flames spread to a nearby automobile, but with the arrival of firemen the blaze was extinguished before it reached the station gas tanks. The origin of the fire, police say, came from a lighted cigarette, but to date, the person who held the cigarette or who was responsible for its presence has not been revealed. Physicians told a Tribune reporter, Tuesday, that it was inadvisable to talk to the Tohmpsons, because of their conditions. Mrs. Ora Robinson, 629 T street, northwest, who was operating a passing auto at the time of the accident, carried Mr. and Mrs. Thompson to Freedman's. JOHN BUTLER MAY BE FREED George Rhoulac, who confessed to committing the crime for which another man, John Butler, was convicted and sentenced to 10 years, was himself sentenced to 10 years, by Justice Siddons in Criminal Court, last Saturday. Rhoulac confessed to the robbery of Philip Tepper, 4601 Hunt place, northwest, as the latter was leaving his garage on the night of April 7, 1927. The admission followed his arrest by police who were furnished with the information by his brother, Martin Luther Rhoulac, who is serving a life term for the murder of Thomas W. Gill, January 16, last. Steps have been taken by the District Attorney's office to have Butler released from prison. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1667. ET, N.W. U Street Fire Photo by Lacy, Tribune Staff Photographer GARDENS TO OPEN WITH NEW DRESS AND MANAGEM'T St. Staff Photographer TO OPEN W DRESS MAGEM'T Suburban Gardens, in a new dress of white and red colors, together with many improvements on the grounds, will open for the season on Saturday evening, May 12, at 7 o'clock. Many new and novel features will be introduced with this season's policy. The midway has been cleared of all trees, enlarging the promenade and free-act space. Hundreds of comfortable benches have been added and the picnic grove, as well as the parking space, have been more than doubled in size. Grounds to be Illuminated Large 2000-watt flood lights have been installed in the midway, giving sufficient light for one to bring an evening paper and sit in the cool to read. The children's playgrounds will be well lighted too, so that parents may bring them along in the evenings as well as during the day. Among the other new features this year will be free open-air attractions, changing every week throughout the season, and music on the grounds during the entire evening, and free parking space. New and more inviting games will be introduced. Every stand will give away different, as well as useful, premiums to all who play. For every play, a coupon will be given, which will be redeemable at the park premium store on the way out, for valuable articles. Admission on Pavilion Reduced The admission on the pavilion has been reduced to 35 cents. The orchestras playing on the pavilion will be changed from time to time. All drinks and food stuffs will be sold at the popular city prices. It is hoped to have railway busses at the gate of the park at closing time to take passengers to the city, thus relieving the congestion at the railway station. The busses, if used, will cover certain routes, returning patrons through the city. New Ball Park A spacious enclosed baseball park is being planned on the company's ground just east of the park.

So quickly did the smoke and fire envelop the building, that nearly all of the tenants who were on the second and third floors had to be rescued by the fire department. Simeon Cunningham of 1527 12th street, Assistant Secretary-Manager of the Federal Life Insurance Company, did heroic work in getting the employees of his company out of the building. All of them were on the third floor. Their means of escape was cut off by the smoke and fire which had enveloped the halls and stairway. Excited and screaming, the women were prevented from going into the halls where they were sure to be killed, by Mr. Cunningham who kept them at the windows and prevented them from leaping out, despite the stifling smoke, until a fire ladder was put up to the window and firemen rescued them, Mr. Cunningham, at the risk of his own life, then made a further inspection of the third floor to determine if any one was still there, before leaving the building himself. When he was brought out he was rushed to the hospital where after treatment he was dismissed. Those in the Federal Life office were: Miss Victoris Johnson, 3311 Sherman avenue, northwest; Miss Marlena Hawkins, Morris road, southeast; Miss Gladys Duncan, 3214 Sherman avenue, northwest; and Miss E. J. Miller, 2545 Ontario road, northwest. Others in Building Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo J. Collins, and Dr. V. S. Green, also on the third floor were rescued by the firemen while hanging from the window ledge. Dr. H. H. Early on the second floor was rescued from a window. A patient in his office was likewise rescued. Joel Blackwell on the second floor also had a narrow escape from the building. The fire started in the basement of the Lewis Building which was occupied by the Night Club Boheme. How long it had been burning before being discovered could not be determined. However, when it was discovered, it had gained such a headway that when it broke through the door of the basement, within a few minutes the entire building was enveloped with smoke. The stairway leading both downstairs and upstairs caught and made escape through that means impossible. Three alarms were turned in. It was necessary for firemen to don gas masks ni order (Continued on page 2) ZION DELEGATES START SAT. FOR ST.

ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE Liberal Progressive Independent THAT OUR TWO BANKS, INDUSTRIAL AND PRUDENTIAL, show only steady growth under conservative management is due to the fact that Washington is not industrial and that our wage earners and salaried classes draw comparatively low pay. Banks buy and sell credits, but the people must have surplus to deposit and must want to use loans for productive enterprises, in order to supply the banks with customers. We need to form the "bank habit." JOE GRAVES, THE RESTAURANT AND HOTEL PROPRIETOR, literally died in his chair, one eye open, one closed in sleep, watching business. That kind of devotion is a form of inefficiency; business must be managed to run itself under delegated authority. The problem of our business men, however, is to find people capable of being selected to act as delegates. DID THE HAMPTON SINGERS REACH THE HEART OF PRESIDENT COOLIDGE and make him feel that people like that were American citizens in every fibre of their being? We wonder! Secretary Hoover applauded the soloists until he got an encore, thus indicating by a little thing that he thinks and acts from within outward. DESTINY IN THE PRESIDENCY Taking our history in large sweeps, it appears that we have had the kind of man we needed when we needed him. It may be that democracy is capable of selecting the type of men called for by the circumstances. Disregarding the real powers at work in the making of presidents, the facts are that those powers are able to work because they are themselves developed by the conditions which obtain in the nation. The landowners selected and maintained Washington. Jackson was called to be executive by the independent commoners whom he represented, when the rival political leaders could not compromise. At that time, the individual states had become so powerful through migration and industry, that they were able to defy the slowly developing federal government. Jackson happened to be the only man in America, who by his service in the army, visualized the Union and defied and challenged those who would have flouted it. Lincoln as a lawyer at a time when the rules of law were being fixed in the lives of the people, and with a keen sense of the limits and significance of property rights, saw most clearly the sophistry in the reasoning of Justice Taney in the Dred Scott decision, and the threat to national sovereignty in the attack on Fort Sumter. The honesty of Grover Cleveland made it impossible for him to compromise on any form of money less than the best, and upon any federal procedure other than legally right. Roosevelt, with a sensitive social conscience, left and expressed the unspoken wishes of the people grown to purpose and national destiny, while Woodrow Wilson acted as head of the nation of his dreams as he wrote and taught American history. Today, the complexity of the relations of this country, the dependence of all the world upon it, the magnitude of its resources, the rapidity of its exchanges and the ease with which the economic maze may outgear the entire national enterprise, demand an engineer Herbert Hoover may not be chosen to be president, but the destiny of the presidency hints that it is both wise and necessary to have a man of his training and experience, at least until the executive control of the nation is modified to meet its unprecedented development. That Mr. Darrow is an able lawyer, a humanitarian and a courageous thinker, brooks no denial, but when he attempts, even with the best possible motive, to advise the Negro to pay less attention to prayer and the church, he is wrong. In the first place, Mr. Darrow loses sight of the fact that the church has been the Negro's sole hope, light and civilizer for a long period. That the church has not filled that whole bill in every par- Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHING COMPANY. 929 U Street, N.W. Phone, Potomac 1667 Entered as second-class matter July 7, 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, D.C., under the Act of March 8, 1873 W. B. ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta. KS, IN-NTIAL under con- ce to the not in- earners compara- uay and the must and must productive apply the need to ticular is due to the fact that it is a humanly administered institution, and it has been compelled to use what material it could get—some of it pretty poor. But the church has given the Negro the ideas by which he could guide himself amidst the complexities of a situation for which he had no guide; it gave him his music; it gave him his social bonds; it gave him his language, and it gave him the means by which he could educate himself and his children in some slight degree, before he had schools supported by public taxation. When it comes to denying the efficacy of prayer, Mr. Darrow is entirely out of his ken, and yet, as a lawyer, he must have frequently drawn very carefully his "prayers" to the court in behalf of his client. There is something about the personal relation between a Negro and his spiritual hope, that few white men understand. Even in Africa, men who have spent long years among the natives have been unable to clearly understand the spiritual life of the Negro, though they were aware of its existence and potency. It is no far stretch of the imagination to find in the radio some material basis for the possibility of the efficacy of prayer. Surely, if man by a few wires can gather from the air the sounds of human voices and musical instruments thousands of miles away, hearing clearly what they say together with attendant noises, other men are justified in believing that their thoughts and voices sent out on the air may reach to the very center and heart of the universe and be gathered in the Infinite. In fact we may go further and say that it is not too much to believe that voices and even thoughts sent out into the world may achieve their own results in the movements which they create and which must register somewhere. Careful study of the Lord's Prayer will reveal that it is designed to produce confidence, and then to lead the suppliant to labor to realize in his own life and labors what he prays for, or to find that it has eventuated in a result better even than that he hoped to realize. Mr. Darrow may be right in criticising our waste of money in the church as an institution, but the fact is, as yet, we do not realize what an agency exists in the church for that co-operative life—economic, political, civic and social—which we should live by reason of our relation to the church as a practical, tangible expression of our belief in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. THE 14th, 15th AND 18th AMENDMENTS The second article in the series of three from Liberty magazine on the South's nullification of the 14th and 15th amendments, and the desire in the North to do the same thing with the 18th, is, if anything more explicit than the first. By an analysis of selected cases brought by Negroes who had been denied the right to vote in elections in the South, the author finds both specious reasoning by the superior courts of the Southern states and by majority decisions handed down by the United States Supreme Court, and outspoken determination on the part of the South, through spokesmen like Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, to defy the North to enforce the amendments. Repeatedly, Negro defendants have shown that they were denied the right to vote or even to pay their poll tax prior to voting, solely because of their race; yet the U. S. Supreme Court has found suc heconduct, by administers of the laws of the state, was not a denial by the state, and that hence there was nothing for that tribunal to decide. Senator Glass ridicules the idea of the intent of Congress to grant the franchise to the Negro. It was never intended, says he, that "brut-Supreme Court has found such corrupt blacks not one per cent of whom could pretend to read, should dominate and control white supremacy through the ballot box." Senator Glass further put himself and the South on record as defying Congress to enact the penalty for placing restrictions upon the ballot by changing the number of Congressmen to agree with the changes in qualified voters. It would reduce the representation of THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1928 What Segregation By Prof. Chas. M. Thomas Social Sciences, Armstrong Technical High School, Washington, D. C. That people who wish to live and desire to live as well as possible, do not organize for a determined and continuous fight against segregation in all phases of public service, is difficult to understand. One reason why it is impossible to get unanimous support for a fight against the vicious practice which discriminates against a person because of the color of his skin, is that a few businesses and professions have prospered because of it. But the time has come when the effects of segregation must be thought through and the consequences recognized. It should be noted at the outset that the segregation which prospers the business and professional people, in no way injures the economic success of the white man who practices it. The businesses which we patronize all get their supplies of every kind from the white manufacturer and distributor. From the buildings and the materials of their structure, on down to the paper in which the goods are enclosed; from the paint for the signs; to the books from which the business men learn and in which they keep their records; from the ink and paper of their letterheads, to the fixtures for their offices and banks, all are designed, manufactured and sold by white men. Negro business, so called, is but a middle agency, often obliged to add an additional cost to enable it to realize any profit upon the transaction. The Negro business man carries all the risk of failure and all the cost of doing business, but he enjoys none of that profit which flows to the entrepreneur, or originator and manager of the enterprise from the production of the raw materials to the sale of goods to the customer. Not by reducing costs by mass production or by intelligent management, does the Negro make profit, as profits are usually made, but solely by acting as middle man for manufacturers and distributors who themselves operate by mass production or efficient management. John Jones may seem to profit because he is in business supplying goods and services to Negroes, but the race itself pays more for its goods when Jones buys as a single enterprise, and the buying power of the racial group is not recognized economically; that is, the goods and services are supplied primarily by white men who get the major share of the profits Jones simply comes into direct Northern states, said he, and will never be done. Congress alone has the power to remedy these conditions, and Congress can not be punished for failing to exercise that power. We would remind Senator Glass that the failure of the South to provide adequate schools and facilities for Negroes, is responsible for many of the shortcomings which he notes in the Negroes he describes; slavery is responsible for others, and the denial of opportunities to learn civil practices by engaging in them will account for the balance. All the blame is to be placed at the doors of Senator Glass and his forbears and fellow citizens. Goaded into a frenzy by the reminder that the absence of police power in the federal, government to enforce the 14th and 15th amendments had been diametrically opposed in giving the police power to the federal government to enforce the 18th amendment, Senator Glass displayed his unvarnished tyranny and that despotic unfitness for any place in the deliberations of our government, by declaring: "The people of the original thirteen Southern states curse and degrade and spit upon the Fifteenth Amendment—and have no intention of letting the Negro vote." "White supremacy too precious thing to surrender for the sake of a theoretical justice that would let a brutish African deem himself the equal of white men and women in Dixie." To a situation like this one, there is but one reaction, the Negro must form his own political party, elect his own state and federal officers; and contest the election of every opponent especially such an one as Senator Glass, who, we are informed, never presumed to meet the requirements of the election laws of Virginia in the campaign in which John Mitchell, Jr., a Negro, ran for senator against Glass and Colonel Anderson, a lily-white Republican. No government can survive, half just and half unjust; the mere letter of the law makes for lawlessness, but the spirit of justice prospers a people and blesses them with peace. The supremacy of the white man over the entire globe is threatened when tyrants announce that color is a bar sinister to equal rights, and that white justice is a shameful lie. contact with the consuming public. We must manufacture and produce, advertise and sell, even raw materials, in order to realize profit from business genius. Negro Business Obliges White Men One reason why undertakers, druggists, barbers and lunch room proprietors have made the greatest strides in numbers among us, is that the kinds of services rendered in such businesses demand intimate contact with Negroes in large numbers. The white man has been known to go so far as to finance such businesses in order to have the Negro save him from direct contact with the masses. He does not object to doing business with a single Negro, but he finds the reactions of many of them annoying, their language idioms peculiar, and his tendency to resent their curt orders and answers a possible excitement to hostile feelings which may lose trade. One reason why the foreigner has been successful in business among Negroes, is that he seldom resents the equality which the Negro feels or assumes when spending his money. The foreigner, himself, has no social yardstick by which he and his family are measured. He leses no easte by doing business with Negroes, as the native white man may. His children will not be taunted with "your father keeps a N——store," or some such epithet. The foreigner is aiming to make money and to that end he subordinates all else. It may be noticed that foreigners who have families which attend segregated public schools tend to sell their businesses when their children reach their teens, and to move into "white" neighborhoods. Other foreigners take their places, usually more recent emigrants, or those with younger children. Race Pride Shou'd Demand Negro Clerks Any careful consideration of segregation in its effect upon the economic life of the Negro would lead the people to demand that some of their girls and boys be employed in stores which enjoy Negro patronage. Knowing, as we do, that the white man gets most of the return from all Negro business, and that he dislikes doing business with Negroes, the wise reaction would be to demand that he employ Negro men and women in those establishments where the proprietor himself does not have the contact, such as department stores, but his employees are powerless to protest. Any observant buyer among Negroes must have noticed that there is always a certain white clerk in the departments which he patronizes who makes a specialty of Negro customers. It may be that the Negro is fooled or flattered by the fact that that particular clerk is intimate or seeks him out when he enters the department, but the fact is, he is there for that purpose, and to save the other clerks from the annoyance. Any visit to a woman's store where shoes, suits and children's wear are sold, or to a man's store where haberdashery, shoes, or suits are sold, will serve to prove this contention. Even where clerks are working on commission, there are white clerks who will avoid seeing a colored customer, or serving one, if possible. People who wish to remove segregation should employ some one to check up on the colored buyers at the various department stores in their cities, and on the strength of the numbers and the computed buying power, urge upon the management at the employment of colored clerks. Of course they should follow that up with an urge to the colored buyers to ask for and to patronize that clerk, thus they would get calls for other clerks from rival business houses. Failure to think segregation through leads some people to cry "Jim crow," when they see or even think of a colored clerk in a white establishment, but the time has come when it should be driven home that every penny paid to a white clerk where it might be paid to a colored clerk, is finding its effects in starvation all along the line among colored people. It hurts the colored hair dresser, the colored newspaper, the colored church, the colored bank, the colored baby as yet unborn and the self-respect of the colored individual and of the race. The kind of segregation we must learn to fight is enforced segregation. It is the segregation which puts us into a group and then gives us inferior services, goods, pay, opportunities and consideration because we are in that place. Directly opposite to the back group. Directly opposite to segregation is race pride, and that we want to foster. Every time we get the same or superior service from a colored clerk, we should feel proud for our race and by it. Every time we make our dollar buy respect for some member of the race, we ought to feel proud that the economic buying power of the Negro is being recognized. Not until we come to feel more pride in the fact that our dollars cause other Negroes to prosper, than we now feel in the fact that we are wearing the latest style of hat, coat, or shoe purchased at some store whose name stands for quality and price, shall we even be secure that we ourselves shall not soon starve from gradual contraction of opportunity for the race to earn a decent living. Every department of public life should not only show its quota of Negroes in keeping with the population quota of that place, but the salary schedule should be watched and every promotion contested when it affects a Negro unfavorably.

FOR THE CHEWERS OF (One of the most useless, and disagreeable habits, is that of chewing gum. It is very annoying to those who have to listen to you who chew. This little story which appears in the current issue of "The Armstrong Torch" is very timely.—Ed.) A GUMMY ESSAY By Marguerite Taylor last day last week, after I had finished my lunch, I put one of my indispensable sticks of chewing- gum in my mouth and began to chew. The fifth hour bell rang, and, as I was going down the hall I stopped a moment to say something to a teacher. But I didn't get very far, for the teacher inter- rupted me: "What's that you have in your mouth—chewing-gum? How can you stand that big wad in your mouth?" she asked. "You ought to see yourself." As I journeyed on, still chewing, I wondered why some people, especially teachers, did not like chewing-gum. Sitting at a desk writing part of my homework, and unconsciously chewing my gum, I was startled to hear someone say: "What are you doing? Chewing gum?" "Do you mean to tell me you are sitting up in my room chewing gum? Have you ever stopped to think how ugly you look chewing gum? Don't you know that your whole face looks very ugly when you are chewing? Moreover, school of all places is not the place for gum chewing. You should wait at least until you are in the privacy of your own room." I fidgeted in my chair and inwardly wondered when the lee was going to end. It made me feel ashamed and little, so that I was only too glad to deposit it in the waste basket. And I wondered if chewing-gum was really worth my pennies. I thought about it so much that when I went to sleep, the first thing that grabbed me, was a ferocious stick of chewing-gum. Then chewing-gum men began to descend upon me from all directions, wielding gummy clubs and spears. Screaming, I pulled myself free and run toward a dense forest in- ment of public service has in it competent, efficient Negroes, who are not being paid proportionate salaries. We make no protest; possibly from envy and a feeling that he ought to be satisfied, but the time has come when we should feel a pride in the fact that some Negro has been promoted. It reflects itself in your own salary and value; Negroes are seen to be worth more, hence you are worth more to your employer. It should mean more money all along the line of the racial life. Segregation carried to its end, means starvation in the event of an attack, with our buying power unorganized. Let Negroes who now feel it necessary to wear and to have anything they want and can get, come to feel that they are obligated to get rid of segregation. Let them decide not to buy anything until segregation is destroyed, and watch segregation disappear. The time has come when we call for a show down! Have the American Negroes character strong enough to refuse to enjoy personally what every other Negro may not have? Have American Negroes sense enough to see that they are keeping themselves at low wages by not throwing all their buying power into the hands of Negro employees of white concerns? Will Negro churches buy and build only through Negro architects and contractors? Will Negro households buy only from the dealers who employ Negro clerks? Will Negroes patronize only those laundries where they have Negroes in charge of work which they are competent to do? Will Negroes demand that their youth be employed in public service for work other than as janitors and messengers? The buying power of the Negroes in any city and above all in the South where they are in so great numbers may be made the lever to destroy segregation. Race pride can offset segregation. No form of consideration which is at the end where your money is taken, can be considered as race equality; only when you receive the consideration that your buying power deserves in your pay envelope, your profits and your salaries, have you the kind of equality which alone counts for American rights. The right to life, liberty and happiness proceed from and are based upon the right to property produced by your labor or purchased by your pay. Study the economic phases of segregation and discover that you are being slowly starved to death. tending to lose myself therein. But as my feet touched the ground, to my horror, I found it to be a great mass of sticky black gum. The chewing-gum men drew closer, and, screaming for help, I grabbed at a tree limb . . . and it too was gummy. Then the chewing-gum men fell upon me, and I sank down, down, down, and was about to be swallowed up in the black gum when I opened my eyes and found myself in . . . bed. Shuddering, I resolved, no more chewing gum for me. But my punishment was not complete, for, as I sat in class next day, trying to concentrate upon my lesson, I heard chew, gulp, smack, smack, gulp, and all kinds of guttural sounds pouring in my ear. I turned around with much disgust to find one of my classmates chewing gum at a rate of speed that would, put to shame the speed of a high powered motor. Her expression as she opened and closed her lips and exposed her teeth and gums with machine-like regularity, appeared suddenly to me to be menacing and almost hideous, so that I instinctively drew back. I longed to clap my hands over my ears and plaster my girl friend's mouth up with a piece of that gum, but I managed to live through that period with hope that I would neither see nor hear any more chewing that daw. Then, on my way to my next class, I accidently ran into a fellow-student and upon looking up to excuse myself, I saw a mouthful of gum. Quickening my steps I entered my class room. Another student, turned around to say something, and I felt myself fainting away, for he was chewing gum. "What is the matter? You look kind o' faint," he said. With an effort I pulled myself together and answered, "Oh, nothing." But I resolved then and there "never no" chewing-gum for me again. I had learned my lesson; I realized how through my careless gum-chewing habit I had been making myself disgusting and annoying to those around me. Dear Editor; Just a line to say hello to you. Just a line to say that I am true Just a line to say to you I know You wonder why I do not write no more. Well, Editor, I must to you confess That I feel just like a little pest, Because I failed to write to you, But even then I still am true. Dear Editor; Some time ago you asked us to send in letters telling you about our pets. At that time I did not have one. Now I have a fine police dog. His name is Roy Roy, an odd name you say. At first we called Lim Royal, but my baby sister calls him Roy Roy, and so all of us now. He does not know any tricks. He can open the kitchen door to get in or out. He knows when it is time to go out at night. Just before mother and father get ready to close up the house at night, Roy Roy is at the door to wag his good-night. He is very kind and full of fun. He is strong enough to push me down. I wish that other children would write and tell of their pets. I wouldn't take anything in the world for Roy Roy. Joseph McK. White (10) VACATION TIME Dear Editor: Excuse the slang—but it can't be long now. Just several more long weeks and then vacation time. Vacation time will mean more to me this year than ever before, because my parents are going to Blue Ridge Summit, Pa., this summer, and they are going to take me with them. I have never been out of Washington, but, oh, boy, it can't be long now. Louis Carter (12) THE VITAPHONE Dear Editor: I saw and heard Al Jolson on the Viphone last week, and I heard Sissle and Blake, two colored men, over the Viphons this week. I was so proud when I saw and heard them. Their first selection was a war song. Mr. Sissle recited part of the song—and it was fine. They did not have their faces blacked. They didn't say anything about nigger, craps, chickens, watermelons, or ghosts. They really were good. And I am sure that when white people see and hear them, that the race will be greatly helped by what they do. I am so tired of our actors who seem so ridiculous on the stage. If Sissle and Blake had only not said "show" for "sure" and "am" for "is" they would have been just as funny, and they would not have poked fun at their own race. But they were good. I hope that you saw and heard them—but I know that you did. Teresa C. Turner (15) JOHN WANTS TO ARGUE JOHN WANTS TO ARGUE Dear Editor: What about a contest with the boys against the girls? You always spring something good on us, why not have a contest of an essay where the boys and girls compete against each other? Even when a boy wins the main prize he could give it to the girl who had the best essay for the girls. Girls are never no troubles. Dear Editor: I know that my brother, John Summers, is going to write you a letter. He seems to think that girls can't do anything as good as boys can. Although my marks at school are better than his, he says that the teachers favor me. He is a big tase—but I wish that you would do as he suggests. SALE!

While this action was taken as soon as the investigation started, Baxter Don Goodall, editor-in-chief of the paper, did not receive official notice of the executive's action until last Friday. This advisory committee is of long standing, but had stopped functioning until recent developments. The notice came in the form of a letter from Prof. E. C. Williams, who was appointed chairman of the Censorship Committee. It advised Goodall of the action taken, and told the editor that all copy must be submitted to the committee before its release in the paper. Goodall's Answer Goodall's answer to the committee was sent in the following letter, addressed to Prof. Williams: "Dear Sir: Your letter of April 15 received, and contents carefully noted. My reply has been late because of several reasons, said reasons being stated blow. May I state, it is not in a spirit of wilful disobedience that I must answer unfavorably to the request of President Johnson, asking the submittal to the committee appointed by him of proof sheets of The Hilltop for its final decision before going to press, with a spirit I feel and believe justifiable to the two thousand students which The Hilltop represents, and I as their servant, am responsible to. "The Hilltop as a student publication under faculty censorship would cease to be a student publication. This, gentlemen, would mean the muzzling of freedom of thought and of speech as well as opinion among the student body. Since The Hilltop is supported by funds from the student body collected as extra curricula fees, the above step would be unwise as well as unfair. "Out of twenty-five students of whom the question, "Do you think The Hilltop should have a faculty committee of censorship?" was asked, twenty-four replied negatively. Thus you can see that a large ratio of the student body is against faculty interference with the students' publication. "Finally, I placed the matter of a faculty committee censorship before the student Council, the official representative body of the students of the university, for its decision, and after a thorough discussion of the President's request, the Council voted that The Hilltop be free from faculty supervision and interference. "Ir closing, Lr: Williams, may Iask that you kindly convey to the Committee on Student Publication and through them to President Johnson the contents of this letter. Wishing for the continued growth of Howard University in those fundamental principles which all broad-minded men and women who are leading the fight against ignorance and superstition are inculcating into the lives of the present day youth of the world—love of truth, freedom of thought, and building of character."

On the first floor, the office occupied by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, numbered 1020 U street, was damaged by smoke and water. Charles Fearing, local manager estimated his damage at about $300. The Fearing Electric Company on the first floor, at 1023 U street, was completely ruined. All stock, and fixtures were destroyed or damaged by fire and water. Robert W. Fearing, owner, stated that his loss would exceed $3000. George W. Taylor who operates a jewelry store on the first floor, at 1025 U street, suffered losses estimated at $2000. The drug store located on the first floor at the corner of U street and 11th, suffered practically no damage. William H. Davis, the proprietor, stated that the smoke was prevented from pouring into his place largely because of the tile floor. The offices on the second and third floors were damaged slightly by smoke. As some of the offices were locked, it was necessary for the firemen to break the doors open. The building is owned by the Lincoln Mortgage and Investment Company. Clifford T. Taylor, secretary-manager of the Federal Life Insurance Company, is the rental agent. Mr. Taylor stated that he estimated the damage to the building at $10,000, all of which is covered by insurance.

The conference will open with the procession, headed by all of the bishops, followed by the general officers and workers on the foreign field. Senior Bishop J. S. Caldwell will preside. After devotions, the quadrennial sermon will be preached by Bishop Cliff Edwards: 1254-D—I'm Cryin' Cause I Know I's Losing You After My Laughter Came Tears 1295-D—Mary Ann Together CREAM OLD INNINGS OPEN FOR PICNIC BOOKINGS Apply, F. MORRIS MURRAY, Mgr., 920 U St., N. W. L. W. Kyles. The conference will then be organized and all committees appointed. Bishop G. C. Clements will deliver the quadrennial address. This address is to be the keynote of the conference. Governor to Speak On Wednesday night, the official welcoming exercises will be held. The governor of the state, and the mayor of St. Louis will speak. Special trains from all parts of the country will bring to the city nearly five thousand delegates and visitors who are to attend the conference. The conference is expected to make history in the passing of reform legislation. It is practically conceded that the lay dele- gates' fight for equal representation has been won. Many other reforms are practically assured, especially laws governing the financial departments of the church. A strenuous fight will be made for the election of new bishops. There is a strong undercurrent against electing any new bishops at this conference. It is now generally conceded, however, that one new bishop will be elected. The fight for this bishopship lies between Dr. W. W. Matthews of Washington, D.C., and Dr. F. M. Jacobs, of Brooklyn, N.Y., with Dr. Matthews conceded the advantage.

It is pretty plain, or ought to be by this time, that if there is any god, he is white, isn't it? If he had been black, he would have done something about it. "It is pretty plain if there is any god, he has used such strength as he had against you instead of for you. Everybody who thinks, knows it." · The Church "What I say is this: With the limited means the colored people have, they ought not to give all their money to the churches that will take it if you give it to them. You never knew any of them to refuse. You never saw the time when they did not beg, some of them so the preacher can get on the payroll, and they had better be doing something else, and sometimes by the very force of an institution they want not the ordinary places where God can find them if interested, but they want them as fine as the white people's. "They are entitled to a part of it because there are many colored people who get some consolation out of it, and there is not too much consolation for colored persons anyhow. But colored persons should see that the amount they give is distributed where it will do the most good. They ought not forget great institutions like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They ought not forget their schools and colleges because if you forget them nobody else will think of them." "You have been urged always, no matter how much you need your money, to give it to the churches. "There have been many white people who have fought your battles in the past, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Ingersoll, Parker, Pillsbury, but they never got a church to speak in. The churches were all on the other side." "Of course in the old days of slavery your people were never allowed to get together anywhere but in church. That was the only place it was safe to have colored people together for fear that they would conspire for freedom. Chuck them full of religion and they would care nothing about liberty. And so the churches did such good service in the days of slavery that they are willing to indulge you in them today. Anything else is dangerous." "Whites and blacks have had their religious views, and to these I have no objections. But let me tell you this. You have got to make the fight for equality yourselves. You have got to win by your own efforts. You haven't got much money. You need every cent of it for important movements. I do not object to churches having some of it. But it is a shame and an outrage to give them all of it." Heaven "Of course, you never had a chance here on earth. I wonder if you are going to have any chance in heaven. You suppose you are going to a white heaven? Oh, no, it will be a jim crow heaven. White Christians will not associate with you on earth. You suppose they intend to in heaven? Oh, no. They buy you a jim crow Y.M.C.A. and tell you to behave yourselves." The Negro's Place "The white people do not want to get rid of the colored people. Somebody has got to work. Some people want to talk about sending you back to Africa. If they did that, they would go back and get you again." "They do not object to your being here. What they want is for you to keep your place, and your place is to take what is left after they get what they want, and there is not generally very much left. "It is to do the drudgery and hard work of the world for little pay. Of course, they give various reasons for it." "They do not want a colored person to ride in a Pullman sleeper. He is offensive to them. I have been all over the United States and have seen colored people riding in Pullman sleepers, but they were porters. They are not too dirty to make beds for white people to sleep in or to cook food for them to eat. "I have seen colored people in dining cars everywhere, but they were waiting on tables and cooking food. I have seen colored women riding in Pullman cars as passengers, but they were holding white babies in their laps. That fixes it all right. Nobody objects to the presence of a colored man if he keeps his place, and his place is behind, to obey, to take orders, to do the drudgery of the world and get nothing for it." "It is easy to convert people to a state of mind, and they are being converted. They are willing to give tips, but a people cannot gain independence by living on tips. The trouble is, you know better but: cannot help it. They are willing to pay you in that way, but to take tips even is a badge of inferiority. And yet they want you to live on tips. They want to be the bosses and have you take orders. "You have had to do it more or less. You will have to do it more or less in the future, but although one may go about it as if he enjoys it, he ought to have always the spirit of resentment and the This Side of New York Enclose Your Lot with a Pipe Rail Fence OUT OF THE DOUBTFUL CLASS-- BARKER SERVICE!

What the Negro Must Do "I know that the colored people have never had any chance. They are getting a better chance today, however, than they have ever had before. The rest of it you have got to do." "After the proclamation of emancipation, you were not free. You are not free today. The work has only begun. The work for civil liberties, for independence, for the right to go and come as you please, for the right to get decent wages for decent services, for the right to better your condition, that has only begun." "Whatever you get, you have got to get yourselves. I think you can do it. You have got a good start." "The battle from now on will probably have to be fought by the colored people. You will always have some friends among the whites, but not many." "The improvement in education and in property has placed the colored people where they are to a degree fit to fight their own battles, and I am satisfied you will do it. I do not know that I care either, because the people who cannot make the ght for freedom are not hardly fit for freedom if they ever get it. "You are not going to get much help from the whites. You have got to do it right here and for yourselves. It has got to be done on earth. It will not come from the clouds. You haven't got a chance to get it from the clouds." "The thing that helps your people the most is the people of outstanding ability and genius that you turn out into the world, and you cannot do this without education. How are you going to get it? "In that old you have had little opportunity. No colored school supported by the state is as good as the white school. Whatever you get is given grudgingly. There are universities that colored people have been allowed to attend, but you know they are weeding them out pretty fast. They do not want many of you. "Where are you to get a law education? The big universities do not want you and will take a very few of you. They will have to be able to play good football too. Where can you learn to be surgeons? Do our great universities want you in the medical colleges? Oh, no. Only a few. It will only be a few years until in the great medical colleges in the United States the only place you will find a colored man is on the dissecting table. I do not see why they use you there because they think a colored man is different from a white man, but they do." Advice "I know and believe you are in a winning fight. It is long and slow. You have gone a long way, longer than any other race has traveled in equal time. The road in front is long as well and it needs every bit of your courage and independence and judgment to corquer, and if you are devoted intelligently to the business of getting equality in this world, it will come about and in no other way."

TAYLOR'S SERMON INSERTED IN RECORD The funeral sermon delivered by Rev. H. B. Taylor, pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, over the body of Aaron Russell, aged employee of the House of Representatives, was published in the Congressional Record. The sermon was put in by Hon. Clarence MacGregor, Representative from New York. WEEKLY SERMON "BECAUSE I LIVE, YE SHALL LIVE ALSO." By Rev. Leon Wormley Our text is taken from John 14:19. Christianity is not a theory, but a reality. Yes, truth made practical by faith, love and service. Jesus' advent, suffering and death was to give life more abundantly. Throughout His earthly career, we find Him giving aid, comfort, healing, restoring sight to the blind, casting out evil spirits, and even raising the dead—never losing an opportunity to do service. "Because I live, Ye shall live also," what a promise? In it we have a guide for righteousness; a reward for faithful service. Let us analyze it. What is to live? Is it to have breadth, health, and comforts for oneself? No. It is more than that. It is unselfish service in the interest of the poor and needy; it is to remember that we are our brother's keeper. We are to exhibit a sympathetic and helpful spirit for our neighbor. Because I have bread, ye shall have bread also. Because I have comforts of life, ye shall have comforts also. This exemplifies the spirit of Christ. It is the interpretation of our Saviour's final words to the children of men. "Because I live, ye shall live also." Every act of Jesus shows the depth, genuineness and unselfishness of His love for those whom He came to pay the price for their redemption. Christianity is founded upon the established fact of Christ's resurrection. No fact in proclaiming among men the reliable proofs. He has committed unto His followers the duty of proclaiming among men the reality of His incarnation, His atonement for our sins, and the assurance of immortality, due to His resurrection. Christ in his final message to His disciples impressed upon them their obligation to establish the kigdom among men. He told them to wait for power from on high and then to be witnesses of His gospel of the resurrection and life, which established beyond question His Messiahship, and demonstrated His power to save In asking for permission to print the sermon, Mr. MacGregor praised the 58 years of service rendered by Mr. Russell. BALTIMORE MINISTERS EN- TERTAINED HERE The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Baltimore was the guest of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of this city on last Monday.

Gates, 777 Fairmount street, northwest. PETER H. Rev. LEON WORMLEY, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood, D. C., who writes this week's sermon. all who would repent and believe in Him. The first duty of every Christian is to go preach the certainty of His salvation and the power of His resurrection. To follow Christ we are to do as the early Christians who went everywhere preaching the word—the Lord working with them. We are to follow the practice of the first disciples. We may think we are weak, and not fit to preach His gospel, but we have a message of power that will stir men to seek salvation today, as it did in the first days of Christianity. If we will go forth in His name, praying, trusting and believing. Our gospel is the only faith that is based upon and testifies to the reality of a future life. Christianity has a message calling for men to seek those things that are above, and to live daily a life free from sin, that would testify to all everywhere the saving power of the gospel of our risen Lord, who has assured us that "Because I live, ye shall live also."

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Six members of the board of finance of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church met here Wednesday, April 18, at the office of the board, and received the report of the financial secretary. The statement issued by the committee stated: "We found that the rumors circulated in the Negro press charging that Bishop L. W. Kyles and Dr. W. H. Goler, the chairman and secretary of the board of finance, had paid themselves a bonus on certain amounts secured by them for the church, was entirely without foundation and that neither the chairman nor the secretary had at any time received any bonus on any of their financial transactions during the quadrennium." The report was signed by Benjamin W. Swain, Boston, Mass.; H. R. Hawkins, Newbern, N.C.; J. M. Branch, New Haven, Conn.; R.L. Briscoe, Knoxville, Tenn.; S. W. Weller, Middletown, Conn.; J. H. Thomas, Lynch, Ky., and J. B. Holmes, Montgomery, Ala. The report further stated that the books having been audited by expert accountants and all the facts ascribed and classified that they had very little difficulty in making the examination. The committee reported that $693,135 was raised during the past four years. They further stated that they were perfectly well pleased with their findings and gave their unanimous approval of the report which is to be presented to the general conference. Bishop Jones' Statement Immediately on the receipt of this release, a reporter of the Tribune waited on Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of 1739 S street, northwest, to find out the exact status of this meeting, Bishop Jones said, "There is nothing much for me to say. The secret meeting of an immunity committee in Philadelphia amounts to virtually nothing. The high officers of our church are laughing at this bunglesome attempt at white-washing." "The finance of Zion Church is now in the hands of the board of bishops. This board has ordered an official audit. Only the board of audit can report to the general conference its findings." The Bishop further stated, "The name of Rev. S. W. Weller as one of the signers of that comic, invalidates all of its action at once, for he is not a member of the finance committee. The further fact that not a bishop's name appears, is significant in our church because no legal board meetings can be held without a bishop, or one designated by him to preside over its deliberations." He added, "It is a high carnival day for dishonesty when a pamphlet must be published and circulated to establish the integrity of a church official whose handling of the people's money had been publicly challenged." ALEXANDRIA, Va. — During the month of February, a large number of citizens of this city met in the Parker-Gray School and organized the Alexandria Citizens' Association.

At the present time the association through the churches of the city, is urging the colored citizens to pay their poll taxes on or before May 7. This is a civic duty. "We may talk about our rights as much as we please, but unless we do our civic duty first, we can never demand very much," assert the president of the association.

UNION LEAGUE TO DRAW CURTAIN MAY 6 UNION LEAGUE TO DRAW CURTAIN MAY 6 The Union Baseball League will launch its sixth campaign, Sunday, May 6, according to announcements made by President Hayes Jones, Tuesday. The circuit is made up of six clubs. Besides the Oriental Tigers, Washington Giants, Myrtles, and LeDroit Tigers, the Union League has two new entries. The Hannibal A. C. (Police and Firemen) and the Southern Stars have obtained franchise. The champion Oriental Tigers will enter the season with pretty much the same line-up as the one which won the title last year. If anything the "Prides of the Point" may find added strength in several new acquisitions. Soup Turner, infielder, Sam Lacy, pitcher and Willie Hope, general utility man, have been signed by the Tigers. All of these youngsters are former LeDroit players. Turner and Lacy spent last season with the Washington Black Sox. The LeDroit Tigers The LeDroit Tigers will take the field with a fairly representative nine. Burrell Kenner will be back on the job at his shortfield position together with several of his veterans. Sherman Baylor, the stellar guardian of the hot corner, the Jefferson brothers, slugging outfielders, and a host of promising newcomers are in the fold of the LeDroiters. Andrew Allen is optimistic and declares that in spite of the losses suffered through jumping players he expects to have a winner. The Washington Giants who boasted of their hard hitting team last year enabling them to take 4 games from the Champion Oriental out of six games played have lost one of their hardest hitters, Jimmie Williams, who goes to the Black Sox in company with Leroy Barker. However, the manager says that he has signed up some of the huskies players in the city and expects this year to relieve the Orientals of the burden of carrying around the name of champions. The southwest section is presenting to Union League fans a second team; namely, the Southern Stars. This group, though young, is scrapy, and much trouble from them is expected to be coming to the older clubs. Police and Firemen The Police and Firemen Team, playing under the name of the Hannibal A. A., should create much interest in the Union League games as most of their men are ex-players of some school or good team. It is said that McGuinn has played under the management of Pop Watkins. Scott was once a member of the well known Teddy Bears. Mills, Johnson, Saunderson, Crawford, King, Carter, Briscoe, Green and Manager Bush are all ex-players of good teams. Fox, former St. Cyprian left wing ace, Ed Brown, an ex-professional, formerly of the Cuban Giants, Richardson and the Bush brothers make up a team which should be troublesome. The Myrtle A. C., minus Leroy Barker is going to be a source of question. While the northeast team is by no means a "one-manner" Barker has always served as the main cog around which the machine was built. Whether his loss will be a serious handcap to the Myrtles or not has yet to be Giants vs. Stars—One o'clock, southwest grounds. Oriental vs. Tigers—3 o'clock. Myrtles vs. Hannibals—2 games beginning. 1 o'clock, northeast With good weather prevailing, the Washington Tribune Baseball League will swing into its 1928 campaign, on Sunday, May 6. Sixteen teams will come together in 8 games on 8 diamonds to inaugurate the opening of the second season of Washington's largest circuit. The loop boasts of the reentrance of 18 of the 24 teams which operated last season. Still another new club is applying for a place in the league, to make it a three-cornered affair. The 1927 season was a most successful one, with teams from every in town and out-of-town community. Represented in the Tribune League is Anacostia, Arlington, Va.; Alexandria, Va.; Brookland, Colesville, Md.; Forestville, Md.; Huntsville, Md.; and Lakeland, Md. The league will be divided into two sections; Class A, and Class B. The first named division was headed by the Elite Panthers, from the neighborhood of Fourth and N streets, northwest, and the latter class title went to the Colesville Tigers. In the play-off, for the trophy Marylanders took the verdict. The Monarchs, Myrtle Preps, Southern Stars, Togans, Washington All Stars, Hillsdales, Army War College and Brightwood withdrew from the 1927 loop. Of those teams the Togans, Hillsdales and Monarchs have applied for reentrance, but unless a quota of 8 teams can be raised so as to permit organization of a third section to be known as Class C, nothing can be done. The Tenleytown A. C. has also filed application for a berth. WASHINGTON BLACK SOX PLAY CUBAN GIANTS George Ford and the Washington Black Sox baseballers will swing into action for their 1928 diamond season when they meet the Brooklyn Cuban Giants at Union League Park. Sunday. In all probability "Spike" Bland or Lefty Smith will toe the slab for the locals, with Ed Davis on the receiving end. Ford's crew with several additions to the roster, promises to give the many big league teams it intends to bring here this season.

VIRGINIA SEMINARY DEFEATS LINCOLN IN DEBATE LYNCHBURG, Va.-The debating team of Virginia Theological Seminary and College defeated Lincoln University of Pennsylvania in a debate here last Thursday. The subject was the same as that used in the dehate a few weeks ago when Lincoln defeated the University of Pennsylvania, "Resolved, That the United States Should Protect the Capital of its Citizens Invested in Foreign Countries." The decision was unanimous. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1928 SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor TRIBUNE LEAGUE TO HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING There will be an important meeting of all managers of Tribune League teams, at 920 U Street, N.W., at 6:30 o'clock p.m. sharp, Monday. Matters of importance are to be discussed, and those who have the interest of their teams at heart cannot afford to let any thing interfere with their commig. Several suggestions were made at the initial meeting, Monday in regard to handling the umpire situation which gave so much trouble last year. These will be put before the general meeting, next Monday, and a vote will be taken. Besides this there are other matters which will involve various phases of Tribune League baseball, to be discussed. HOWARD RUNNERS PLACE THIRD AT OHIO RELAY CARNIVAL The "Flying Four" of the Howard University track team, left Friday morning for the University of Pennsylvania Games, to be held at Franklin Field, April 27 and 28. The team is composed of Thorne, Jones, Langston and Walker. The Bison relay team ran third ir the Collegiate Mile Relay at the Ohio Relays, held in Colunbous, last Saturday. In spite of the muddy track and the continuous rain, the race was fast. Wooster and Ohio Wesleyan took first and second places respectively. Wooster's time was 3.33; Howard's time was 3.34. The world's record time for the mile relay is 3:16.4. The following track schedule was sanctioned by the Board of Athletic Control, last Thursday. April 21, Ohio Relays and Baltimore Marathon. April 28, Penn Realys. May 5, Intra-Mural Meet. May 10, Lincoln-Howard Meet. May 19, Lincoln Open Meet. May 30, Open Meet. "Y" VOLLEY BALL SERIES TO BEGIN The Baltimore "Y" will play the Washington "Y" a seven-game series in volley ball beginning at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., Saturday, April 28, at 8 p.m. The teams are about equally matched and the interest is running high. Volley ball has become a very popular sport among the business and professional men throughout the country. The local "Y" team is rapidly rounding into shape as a serious contender for Eastern Association honors. The probable line-up for the game is: L. Brickhouse, Dr. Walker, Captain Ferrell, Mark Hill, F. Green, and E. W. Blair. GIRLS SWIM MEET The Physical Education Department of Dunbar High School announces a Girls' Swimming Meet to be held, Thursday, May 3, in the school tank. PHIL EDWARDS TO SHOW AT HOWARD MEET PHIL EDWARDS TO SHOW AT HOWARD MEET 一 Phil Edwards, the most outstanding middle distance runner in the United States during the past indoor season, has consented to run a special 880-yard race in the Howard National Open Track and Field Meet at Howard University Stadium on May 30. Local followers of the cinder path have not been treated to an 880-yard race by the country's best since Sandy Evans ran a phenomenal race here in 1924. Edwards, by his record, is a much more capable performer than Evans was and is virtually assured of making the Olympic team. The Howard meet management is making special efforts to secure other Olympic team candidates to appear in this meet. All athletes of amateur standing are invited to participate in the regular open events, and bona fide high school students are invited to participate in the scholastic events. For information, address Louis L. Watson, Physical Director, Howard University, Washington, D.C. CUBS TO PLAY COLESVILLE The Columbia Cube will play the Coleysville Lions, Sunday, on the latters' diamond. All players are urged to report at the club house by 11 o'clock. The organization of a Bowling Club would do much toward broadening the field of local athletic activity. We're for it, hook, line, and sinker. Let's do some bowling, folks. Believe me, it's fun. Eastern League Magnates Agree to Disband Eastern League Magnates Agree to Disband PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—At a meeting of the remaining clubs in the Eastern Baseball League in the offices of Alex Pompey, Cuban Star boss, last Thursday night, it was decided that the loop should disband. Those in attendance at the gathering were Edward Bolden and George Mayo, for Hildale; Alex Pompey for Cuban Stars; James Keenan for the Lincoln Giants; George Rossiter for Baltimore Black Sox, and I. A. Washington for the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City. The Brooklyn Royal Giants, controlled by Nat Strong, were not on hand and the Harrisburg Giants quit the league several months ago. Several weeks later Hilldale exploded a bombshell when Ed Bolden, who organized the league, announced his club's withdrawal. The withdrawal of these three teams left President Ike Nutter's circuit with only four clubs, the Baltimore Black Sox, Cuban Stars, Lincoln Giants and Bacharach Giants. It was at first thought that the league would function even under its handicap, but last Thursday's developments coming like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, threw a bolt in the works. Bolden Likes League Bolden still favors organized baseball, but not the way the league has been conducted for the last few years. "I am always in favor of a league," said the Darby pilot. "I sponsored it and still believe it is the right idea. When one man quits this week and then comes back a few weeks later and when one team plays forty home games and another four, then it is time for a halt. "Hilldale made plenty of money in the days of independent baseball and that is the reason we have gone back to our old methods, for last year the club dropped $18,000. I still am ready to join a real league which I hope will be in existence some day." SOMETHING SAID ABOUT PETER JACKSON Writing in the New York World, Jimmy DeForest, veteran trainer of fighters, a recognized authority the world over, and perhaps one of the "squarest shooting guys" in the ring game today, declared that the greatest of the great fights of Peter Jackson, sensational Negro heavyweight of the nineteenth century, was the 61-round draw with Jim Corbett. DeForest writes: "Who was Peter Jackson? When did he reign? These questions, asked by P. Whelan, who ran across the grave of the famous Negro pugilist, brings to mind one of the greatest boxing matches ever held between heavyweights. Mr. Whelan, a New Yorker, traveling abroad, copied the following lines from a tombstone in the West London and Westminster Cemetery: Had "Lion's Heart" "In truth, Peter Jackson had a 'alion's heart, a giant's strength,' and 'symmetry adorned his frame.' He was born near Porter Rico, West Indies, on July 3, 1861, and he began his fighting career in Sydney, Australia, in 1882. After fighting a draw with Jack Hayes, he knocked out this opponent in a return match in seven rounds. He then knocked out Sam Britton in 20 minutes for a purse of $50, and after he had put away Mick Dooley in three rounds, Jack Burke, a local star, refused to fight him. "Soon after this he met his first reverse in the ring when he was knocked out by Bill Farnan in Melbourne, in three rounds. They fought for $500 a side, and Farnan's experience was too much for Jackson. However, Peter and his backers were satisfied that Farnan's victory was a fluke, and they were immediately rematched. The return meeting took place in Melbourne, and they were going at it hammer and tongs with honors pretty even when the police intervened in the sixth round, the contest ending in a draw. That was in 1884. Two years later Jackson fought Tom Les for $200 a side and the championship of Australia, and won in thirty rounds. "In 1888 Jackson came to America, arriving in San Francisco in April of that year and boxing Con Riordan in the old Cremorne Theatre there. Poor old Con; he's been dead these thirty-odd years now! "On August 24 of the year of his arrival here, Jackson met and defeated George Godfrey before the California A. C. in nineteen rounds. The purse was $1,500, and Jackson's victory so impressed the officials of the commission that they matched him to fight Joe McAuliffe. This time the purse was $3,000 and the fight came off on December 27. McAuliffe weigh- BRUCE FLOWERS TO FIGHT TERRIS NEW YORK. — Promoter Humbert J. Fugazy announced last Monday night that he had signed Bruce Flowers, the New Rolchelle lightweight sensation to meet Sid Terris, white, for a 10-round bout at Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, for June 6. Terris, for a long time has been one of the leading aspirants for the lightweight crown, and long has been considered a dangerous rival for Sammy Mandell, the titleholder. The fight with Flowers will be the first match engaged in by Terris since the latter's knockout defeat suffered at the hands of Jimmy McLarnin, Pacific coast boxer. Flowers, on the other hand, is to use the bout with Terris as his comeback fight after breaking his hand in a match with Billie Petrolle, March 16. RED AND BLACK NINE IS STRONGER THAN IN '27 Coach Duvalle Evans of the Dumbar High School baseball team, doesn't seem to be much worried over the outcome of the approaching diamond season, in so far as his Poet nine is concerned. In fact, Mr. Evans has joined the fold of "contented coaches." With eight of his 1927 varsity squad back in uniform and no less than six promising recruits, there can be no reason why the Red and Black mentor should not be optimistic. Tate, Glover, Brown, Harlan, the Gilmores, John and Melvin, Grafton Daniels and Newt Jackson are the players which form a strong nucleus around which Mr. Evans might work. The infield will be somewhat bolstered in the addition of Helme, stellar first sacker of the 1927 Shaw Junior High nine. Newt Jackson has been shifted from third base to the shortfield, last season's outstanding weakness. A newcomer, Jack Steele, is at present showing promise at the third corner. The Dunbar booking so far, includes Shaw, Randall and Phelps Junior High schools, Manassas Industrial Institute, Howard Freshmen, and the Bowie Normal School. The Armstrong-Dunbar titular series will take place on May 10 and 17, with a third date, in case of a tie, to be decided later. ed 212 pounds, but Jackson, whose weight hovered between 192 and 200 pounds, scaled an even 200 for the contest. It was a slashing battle, but Jackson got the upper hand finally and knocked out Joe in the twenty-fourth round. "Jackson followed this with a victory over Patsy Cardiff in April of the following year, and again the California A. C. offered a purse of $3,000. Jackson won in ten rounds. After a few more minor fights Jackson set sail for England, and on November 11 he defeated Jem Smith, winning $4,000, the victor's end of a $5,000 purse. Returning to the United States the next year, 1890, Jackson fought other bouts and then sailed for Jackson battled Joe Goddard for a Australia, where, on October 21, $2000 purse, split 75 and 25 per cent. "The battle lasted eight rounds and at the finish the judges disagreed. Professor Miller, the referee, declared the contest a draw, though in truth Jackson was beaten by his opponent: Jackson's Greatest Fight "And then came Jackson's greatest fight, the one with James J. Corbett. This took place in the California A. C. on May 21, 1891, with Hiram Cook, the regular club referee, in there as third man. As everyone knows, this fight lasted sixty-one rounds, when the referee stopped the fight and declared it 'no contest'—all bets off. "This came as a terrible blow to Corbett and his friends, for they had bet heavily that Jim would last anywhere from ten to twenty-five rounds. Jackson was a favorite at 5 to 1 to whip the young boxing instructor of the Olympic A. C. Peter had a big advantage in the weight over Corbett, bigger than the announced ringside weights, which were: Jackson, 198 pounds; Corbett, 182. Corbett might have scaled the poundage, but if he did, it must have been in full ring regalia, for he certainly looked much lighted. "The fight itself was a classic Jackson was the heavier hitter but young Corbett was a streak of greased lightning, and the men showed not only boxing skill of the highest order but they showed ring generalship and quick, caggy thinking such as never before had been shown in a prize ring. Local Boy Shows Way to Two Cross-Country Fields BALTIMORE, MD.—Thundering into the finish ahead of 76 entrants, here last Saturday, Edgar Lee, 16 years old, of the Armstrong Technical High School, Washington, was declared winner of the Fourth Annual Health Marathon. Lee's time was 20 minutes, 24 4-5 seconds. Due to the slippery pavement caused by a drizzling rain the course was slow, and the Tech lad labored under a serious handicap. Three prizes go to Lee. They are: the Afro-American gold medal, one leg on the Royal Theatre cup, and a bronze medal offered by the Marathon Committee to the first high school boy to finish. Robinson, of Virginia Union, was second, and John Carroll, winner for three years, finished d in third place. Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., won the meet. It was closely pushed by the two Washington entries, Howard University and Armstrong High School. Order of Finish 1. Edgar Lee, Armstrong High. 2. J. L. Robinson, Virginia Union 3.

Smith is alleged to have furnished police with false information in regard to the purchase of liquor. He is said to have been sent by police to a certain address in the northeast section for the purpose of buying whiskey. Although he failed to obtain any liquor from the house, Smith is alleged to have sworn to a warrant for the arrest of the occupant. Another Negro, John Walker, 1250 Linden street, northeast, is awaiting sentence on an identical charge. Walker was arrested by police of the Ninth precinct two weeks ago, when he swore to false information that he had purchased liquor at a house in Brewer's Court. U. S. SPANISH WAR VETERANS NOTES Sergeant George Berry, Camp No. 10, U.S. Spanish War Veterans, Department of the Potomac, is holding its meetings on the first Monday of each month at Scottish Rite Hall, 1631 Eleventh street, northwest, Camp Commander William E. Smith presiding. The camp will be honored at the May 7th meeting by a visit of Department Commander Albert Michaud, who will address the Camp on pending legislation affecting Spanish War Veterans. All veterans are cordially invited to attend, and bring a recruit. "In telling about the fight in later years, Corbett said he was bothered most by Jackson's fierce uppercut, a blow that had never been successfully used before, and it took the young ex-bank clerk several rounds to fathom and foil the punch. "It was in the thirty-fifth round that Corbett complained to Billy Delaney, his second, that his "arms were getting tired." Imagine any of our boxers today battling thirty-five fierce pounds before their 'arms got tired.' Corbett Coming Fast "Corbett was coming fast with a last dying effort when the fight was stopped in that sixty-first round. Going to his dressing room, Corbett says, he saw Jackson, who had preceded him, fall on his face in the runway going to his dressing room. It was then that Corbett decided he had been 'jobbed.' Nevertheless, Corbett says also that Jackson was the 'most magnificent specimen of physical manhood I ever saw.' At that, Jackson was beautifully built. He was one of the greatest exponents of the 'one-two punch' that I ever saw and he was one of the first fighters I ever saw use the combination punch. "He fought a couple more fights after this one with Corbett, then sailed for England, where he knocked out Frank Slavin for a $10,000 purse and then championship of England and Australia. Following this fight he came to America and made his debut in "Uclee Tom's Cabin" at Santa Rosa, Cal. He toured in this play and the following year, negotiations for a return match with Corbett falling through, he went to the West Indies and on to England. "In his memoirs, Corbett, speaking of Peter Jackson, says: "The night I fought Jackson I thought him a great fighter. Six months later, still tired from that fight, I thought him a great fighter. And now, thirty-five years after, I still maintain he was the greatest fighter I have ever seen." Phone Franklin 3992 JOSEPH S. CAFE Open All Night 16 & 18 G St., N.W.—Opp. Gov't Printing Office.

The boy, who was a bystander, was the only person to receive a serious injury. The accident occurred at noon last Saturday. The child was on his way from his home, 1732 Fifteenth street, north, to a nearby store when upon reaching the intersection of Fifteenth and S streets, he stopped to await an opportunity to cross. Joseph turned in response to a hail by one of his neighborhood playmates, and in the instant a motorcycle, owned by the Packard Motor Co., and operated by Joseph Rodano, white, of 417 Randolph street, came onto the sidewalk and knocked him down. Skull Fractured An automobile, it later developed owned and operated by William Wood Wells, 1915 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Sixteenth street, northwest, traveling south on Fifteenth street, had collided with the motorcycle which was proceeding west on S street. The impact caused the smaller vehicle to go over the curbline and strike the child. Rushed to Garfield Hospital in the Wells' car, little Douglas was given first aid. Two hours later, his parents, notified, removed him in their car to Curtis' Sanatorium. The operation, in which several pieces of bone were removed from the child's skull was performed, Sunday afternoon. Joseph is a student at Shaw Junior High School.

"Dressed to Kill" has just recently completed a two-week run at the Roxy Theatre in New York and is one of the outstanding pictures of the season.

For Friday and Saturday, the feature picture will be "Ranger," the marvel dog in "The Swift Shadow," a story of an outlaw dog and his vicious owner, both of whom have a price on their heads. The dog, through an accident, falls into the hands of a man who has sworn vengeance on the outlaw. But when the dog sees his old master, he does not know whether to follow the old or the new. Out of this situation is evolved a thrilling climax. Thursday is talent day with three cash prizes for the best talent.

FRIDAY. APRIL 27. 1928 By Wellington Adams Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House," was presented before a full house by the Howard University Players, directed by M. Franklin Peters, James Vernon Herring and Herbert Rogers, Thursday evening, April 12, in Rankin Chapel. The cast included: Towald Helmer, Samuel H. Popel; Nora Helmer, his wife, Ella V. Haith; Dr. Rank, Cecil Marquez; Nils Krogstad, Curtis Todd; Mrs. Linden, Louise M. Black; Anna, a nurse, Jessie M. Graham; Ellen, a maid, Gladys A. Fitzgerald; the Helmer children, Ivar, John Tyler Phillips, Jr., Emmy, Caroline Peterson and "Bobbie," Patricia Stewart. Scene: sitting-room in Helmer's house (a flat) in Christiania. Time: the present day, Christmastide. The action takes place on three consecutive days. As an amateur production it went over big. The plot was comical and dramatic in places where emotional acting was a factor in the drawing out process. Samuel Popel as the "husband" won admiration in the fluent characterization of his lines and at all times made the role a living one. Ella V. Haita as "his wife—Nora" was a serious study in emotionalism when drama was demanded, carrying the role with star acting although her exit from the scene at the close of that intense letter-fued with her "husband" might have been more dramatic in character. She was the spotlight of the play, however, and carried the part through in a fitting manner, winning high approval. Louise Black as "Mrs. Linden" was a little too reserve we think but did well altogether. Cecil Marquez as "Dr. Rank," and Curtia Todd as "Nils Krogstad," fitted their roles nicely, especially the latter named, he being realistic. The scenery and scenic effect were both excellent and tasty and the Howard Players deserve commendation as well as do the directors of the play. W. C.

Marking the close of the twenty-ninth year of this Company's existence, and its entry into its third decade of service, with an unprecedented reservoir of resources, it is presented with some justifiable pride. But the fact that each dollar of the more than five millions of dollars of assets set out below, and every dollar of the more than seventy millions of dollars of insurance in force there represented, are working in the interest of Negro advancement, in the double capacity of creative energy and protective force, building up and fostering op- tin, of Chicago, her house guests.

FORDS HAVE A "SMASHING GOOD TIME" IN WRECK Twas a merry time that the Ford family had at a "slippery picnic" held at New Jersey avenue and K street, northwest, last Monday morning, beginning at 9:45 and ending a few smash-ups later. According to police of the second precinct, Grace E. Collins, 28 years, who was 27 years and 1 month old when she began driving, living at 1229 Duncan street, northeast, was proceeding southward on New Jersey avenue, when upon reaching the intersection she noticed the front of a Ford roadster protruding out of K street directly in her path. Jamming on her brakes, the Ford sedan which had its birthday in 1927, began a "charleston." One of the kicks to the right landed on the left front shin of the Ford roadster.

Still "hitting on all fours," the 1927 graduate of the "Detroit Foundry," proceeded to kiss the rear end of a Ford truck. The new Ford then began a buck-and-wing which came to a sudden cessation when the car was unable to penetrate the side wall of the grocery store of Nathan Blendman, 1001 New Jersey avenue.
