SAYSASSAULTCHARGEAFRAME-UP OSCAR DE PRIEST NAMED TO SUCCEED MADDEN IN CONGRESS FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VII, No. 45 SAYS OSCAR DE PR TO SUCCEED IN CON CHICAGO, Ill.—Oscar DePriest, veteran political leader of the second ward, was named by Congressional Committee of the First District, as candidate to succeed the late Martin B. Madden. Since Madden's death, there has been much conjecture as to what Negro aspirant would be selected. It being a foregone conclusion that a Negro would be named. The naming of DePriest however, by no means ends the aspirations of other racial candidates. William L. Dawson, the defeated candidate who opposed Madden in the recent primary, is endeavoring to have the election board issue him a certificate of nomination. His contention is based on the ground that as the nominee died before the certificate of election could be issued, he is legally entitled to it under the law. He states that the board must issue a certificate to some one, and although Madden received the largest vote, the board cannot issue a certificate to a dead man. Brown Issues Statement Brown Issues Statement Edgar B. Brown, who styles himself as president of the National Negro for Congress Movement, issued a statement in which he stated that he is endeavoring to get Governor Small to issue a call for a special election for the selection of a successor to serve the unexpired term of Mr. Madden. He is asking that that election be held on June 4, the date for the election of judges. He then asks the Congressional Committee to name the winner of this contest, the candidate at the November election. DePriest's Career Oscar DePriest, real estate dealer, is 57 years of age. He was born in Florence, Ala., March 9, 1871. He was educated in the public schools of Salina, Kansas. He began as a journeyman painted in 1887 and became a painting contractro in Chicago. In 1912, he organized the real estate firm of DePriest and DePriest. He was a member of the Board of Cook County Commissioners, two terms, 1906-10; he was the first Negro member of the Chicago City Council, where he served two terms. He married Miss Jessie Williams, of Rockford, Ill. They have two children. Mr. DePriest has been a staunch supporter of Mayor William Hale Thompson, who was one of the four committeemen who named him for the congressional nomination. He is considered a fearless politician. His home was bombed several times during the past few years. As he is very popular among southside voters, his election is practically assured. PRESID'NTIAL CANDIDATES SIDESTEP VIEWS ON 14TH AND 15TH AMENDMENTS No reply to his letter to Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates asking for a declaration of their attitude regarding enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution, has been received, Representative Geo. Holden Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts, announced Tuesday. There has been only one acknowledgement. It came from the secretary of one of the candidates. In his letter Representative Tinkham asked each candidate whether he favors enforcement of the mandatory provision in the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution, which provides that there shall be a reduction of representation in the House of Representatives and in the Electoral College in proportion to the disfranchisement which exists in certain states. This letter was sent to Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, former Governor Frank O. Lowden, Senator Charles Curtis, Senator James E. Watson, Senator Guy D. Goff and Senator George W. Norris, Republicans, and Governor Alfred E. Smith, Senator James A. Reed, Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Senator Thomas J. Walsh and Senator Walter F. George, Democrats. It was sent to them on April 23.

C TO A Prof DESTITUTE, THE HUBBY MAKES $125 A WEEK Isaiah Baptist, a housewrecker, 5012 Sheriff road, northeast, is being sued in the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce. His wife, Mrs. Ellen Baptist, filed her bill of complaint through Attorney Peter J. Richardson, last Tuesday. Mrs. Baptist charges that her husband has frequently assaulted her, has threatened to kill her and has called her vile names. Because of his cruel treatment of her, she alleges, she was forced to leave him April 21, last. Although her husband earns $125 a week and owns property valued at $15,000, she says, she is in destitute circumstances. The couple was married in Halifax, N.C., January 5, 1921. They have three children: Mary Elizabeth, 6 years old; Rachel, 4 years old, and Inez Baptist, 2 years old. Mr. Baptist took these children on April 28, and now has them in his custody, his wife claims.

INSUR'NCE HEADS MEET,ASS'N IS GROWING COLUMBUS, Ohio. — Bringing their meeting to a close, after a three-day session here, the National Negro Insurance Association, composed of twenty-eight Negro insurance companies, chose Little Rock, Ark., as the place of the next meeting. The sessions began Wednesday morning, April 25, in the Masonic Temple. Papers were read by B. A. Sanders, auditor of the Supreme Life & Casualty Co., of Columbus, Ohio; W. C. Buford, manager of agencies of the Mammoth Life and Accident Company, and by ouis C. Bullock, treasurer of Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J. The evening session was a public meeting. Welcome addresses were made by representative Columbus citizens, with President T. K. Gibson, of the Supreme Life & Casualty Company of this city presiding. Greetings were also brought from the National Negro Bankers Association by its president, R. R. Wright, of the Citizens & Southern Bank, of Philadelphia. The principal address of the evening was made by Hon. Edward C. Turner, attorney general of the state of Ohio, and response was made on behalf of the Association to all the welcome addresses by Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J. Chestnut's Paper Read A paper prepared shortly before his death by James LeCount Chestnut, president of the Domestic Credit Bureau, New York, N.Y., on the subject of "Inspection of Negro Risks," was read by the secretary, W. Ellis Stewart, of Chicago. This was followed by an address by J. A. Jackson, a special agent of the Bureau of Commerce, Washington , D.C., on the work of that bureau as it may be applied to the advancement of the insurance business. J. G. Ish, Jr., secretary of the Century Life Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark., and E. H. Carry, of Chicago, read papers. Dr. M. O.

HAWKINS, who was elected delegate to G.O.P. Convention. elected alternate to Prof. Hawkins and Edgar C. Snyder, United States Marshall was elected alternate to Mr. Townsend. R. R. Horner, local attorney, who was nominated for delegate, withdrew his name. Miss Nannie H. REV. DR. W. H. JERNAGIN, who elected alternate delegate. Burroughs placed the name of Prof. Hawkins in nomination, while Dr. Emmett J. Scott placed Dr. Jernagin's name in nomination. Prof. Hawkins in a short speech after his election, thanked his friends for the honor they bestowed upon him. He declared that he was not the tail end of the ticket, but was an equal co-worker with the other delegate in putting the program over. Thus the disfranchised Republicans of the District—they vote in no election—have gone through their quadrennial farce of selecting two delegates and two alternates to the Republican National Convention in Kansas City, June 12th. This so-called election began two weeks ago when forty-four districts and sub-districts selected their district delegates. These forty-four district delegates, officially called delegates-elect, met in the offices of the Republican state central committee of the District and named forty-four delegates-at-large. These delegates-elect and delegates-at-large made up the convention which selected two delegates and two alternates to the Republican national convention. These delegates-elect and at-large, also make up the Republican state central committee of the District of Columbia. The Tuesday meeting is typical of the whole election processes. It was only a ratification of what had previously been agreed upon. A list of delegates-at-large was prepared Monday night and presented to the nominating committee after the executive committee had okeyed it. Merrill Curtis Is Sued For $5,000 Damages in the sum of $5,000 is asked of Dr. Merrill Curtis, a dentist with offices at 1939 Thirteenth street, northwest, in a suit filed by Miss Maud Coleman, 1843 S street, northwest, in the District Supreme Court last Monday. An alleged assault on December 15, last, when Dr. Curtis attempted to remove some bridge work which he had just put into her mouth, is the basis of the suit. In her declaration Miss Coleman says she called at Dr. Curtis' office on December 15 for final treatment and to have him place in her mouth a bridge consisting of several teeth which he had made for her. He had been treating her for some time, she states, and she had paid him $65 on account and was prepared to pay him the balance due on the work. After he had placed the bridge in her mouth, she declares, without any reason as far as she knows, Dr. Curtis refused to permit her to get the money with which to pay him the balance due him on the work. Her money, she says, was in her pocketbook in the custody of her sister in the reception room of Dr. Curtis' offices. "Assaulted and Injured" When she attempted to go from his office into the reception room to get the money, she says, Dr. Curtis took hold of her and tried to pull the bridge out of her mouth in "such forceful, brutal and abusive manner as to strike, assault and injure" her severely. While she was making an effort to get loose from him, she alleges, he locked the doors, to his office to prevent her leaving. In his excitement and anger, she declares, he "negligently, wontently, wilfully and brutally" threw her against another door while attempting to imprison her and prevent her from getting assistance and protection. She alleges that she was severely injured about the head, face and body. She sustained severe bruises and painful lacerations, she declares. She is still suffering from the effects, she states. She has had to pay for medical attention and treatment, she says. She asks the court to award her damages in the sum of $5,000. Miss Coleman is represented by Attorney Martin J. McMamara. First Case Dismissed First Case Demissed A charge of assault made against Dr. Curtis by Miss Coleman was heard in police court by Judge Robert E. Mattingly on December 19. Judge Mattingly dismissed the case. He took the view that Dr. Curtis acted within his rights. Judge Mattingly pointed out that h. was out of his gold and his work and time. He said that she had no right to have the work put in her mouth without the money with which to pay for it. On the day that the case was heard in police court she still had the bridge in her mouth. Dr. Merrill Curtis is a graduate of the dental school of Northwestern University. He is a dental demonstrator in the dental school of Howard University. He is prominent in Washington society and a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. He is a son of Dr. A. M. Curtis, a surgeon and professor of surgery at Howard University.

Lemus President, Brotherhood of Dining-Car Employees A few weeks ago, Robert L. Vann, editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, startled the country with the publication of an article in his newspaper in which it was inferred that if A. Phillip Randolph resigned as leader of the movement, the Pullman Company would recognize the porters' union—the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Mr. Randolph was quoted in the article as having told Editor Vann over long-distance telephone, and in telegraphic response to the editor's question, that he would resign if it carried assurance that the best interests of the porters would be served through his resignation. The press carried releases from Mr. Randolph the following week in which the movement's leader wrote that he would drop dead in his tracks before he would resign; that his replies to Mr. Vann's queries were given, as he understood the matter, confidentially; that the Pullman Company would naturally desire to get him, Randolph, out of the movement in order to "put over" something on the porters and maids. In his Pittsburgh Courier, of the same week Editor Vann began a three-column reply to Randolph on the front page in which friend Vann pointed out that for-as-much as friend Randolph is, and always has been, a Socialist, and American capital never deals with Socialists, and the Pullman Company is American capital, Randolph should step aside and thereby and therefore facilitate Pullman recognition of the Porter's Union. I am quite sure that a little thought based on certain incidents and coincidences, will shed light on the reason for his sudden anti-Randolph activities on account of the Pullman porters. First, when Mr. Vann stresses what everybody knows, namely, that Mr. Randolph is a Socialist, I think he gives the key to the situation: for Mr. Randolph not only is a Socialist—he is not a Republican. And, in the courier of April 21, Mr. Vann, writing under the caption, "The Camera," discusses the political situation. He concedes the democratic presidential nomination to Governor Smith of New York. Mr. Vann concludes that the only person who can beat Al Smith is either Vice-President Dawes, or Dwight W. Morrow, United States Ambassador to Mexico. It will be noted that in giving (Continued on page 9) 30 YEARS OF MARRIED LIFE ENDING IN COURTS A marriage of thirty years is ending in the divorce courts. Mrs. Cecie V. Holland, 206 N street, northwest, filed suit last Thursday in the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce from Benjamin F. Holland, Gum Springs, Va. She charges desertion. The couple were married June 22, 1898. They lived together until October 2, 1924. A child was born to them February 13, 1916. He is named for his father. While they lived together, Mrs. Holland claims, they purchased the property at 206 N street jointly, but the deeds are in her husband's name. The indebtedness on this property had been reduced to $1,400 on February 14, but on February 17, her husband, without her knowledge or consent, obtained a loan of $350 on this property, she states. Aided by Relatives Since his desertion, she says, he has made no payments on this property and at times she has been compelled to seek the aid of relatives to keep the property from being sold. When he first left he., he sent her $5 every two or three months, Mrs. Holland declares, but he has contributed nothing to the support of her and their 12-year-old boy since January, 1927. She suffers from asthma and heart trouble, she says, and is not able to earn a livelihood. Her husband conceals his whereabouts from her, she states, and she does not know what his present occupation is. He formerly operated a stand in the O Street Market, Mrs. Holland says, and is capable of earning $200 a month. She asks the court to grant her a limited divorce, alimony and counsel fees. She is represented by Attorney J. Franklin Wilson. OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. RAMI WHITE WOMAN AFTER MAN'S THREATEN WHITE WOMAN DISAPPEARS AFTER MAN'S ARREST; MOB THREATENS HIS LIFE DIES FROM STAB IN FIGHT OVER SWEETHEART Cheathum A. Weaver, janitor at 1030 Euclid street, was ordered, by a coroner's jury, for the action of the Grand Jury at an inquest held last Friday into the death of Clarence H. Blakey, 33 years old, a musician living at 1003 First street, southwest. Blakey was fatally stabbed early last Thursday morning during a fight over Bernice Alexander, 2422 Seventeenth street, northwest, in whose apartment the killing took place. After the stabbing Weaver is said to have thrown the shoes and coat of his victim into the face of Miss Alexander. "If your man ever lives, he can wear these." Weaver remarked as he tossed the dead man's clothing into her face, Miss Alexander told the coroner's jury. The fight at first was three-cornered. William Thomas Foster, a chauffeur, of 1606 Fifteenth street, northwest, helped Blakey at the start. When Weaver inflicted his first stab-wound, Foster fled for the police. When he returned, Blakey lay dead in the hallway of the apartment. Weaver Arrested Weaver was arrested within two hours after the murder. He was found hiding in his quarters at 1030 Euclid street, by Policeman Milton W. Warren, of the Eighth precinct. It has been alleged that when Blakey and Foster were returning home from a band rehearsal, Wednesday night when they encountered Miss Alexander and two others, Miss Fannie King and Miss Grace Alexander. The party of five walked to Miss Bernice Alexander's home. No sooner had they gotten into the apartment and a light was made than there came a knock at the door. Upon learning the identity of the man at the door, Miss Alexander refused him admittance. Weaver, however, broke the door open. Weaver Slaps Girl After slapping Miss Bernice Alexander in the face, Weaver turned on Blakey, and accusing the latter of taking his girl, struck him. The two men fought. Foster kept Weaver from hitting Blakey with a chair, but when Weaver whipped out a paring knife Foster gave up his part in the battle and ran for police. A little later Blakey fell to the floor. When Freedmen's Hospital ambulance responded, he was pronounced dead by Dr. Algenorn A. Phillips. At the station house Weaver signed a statement admitting that he had killed Blakey. He said that he found Blakey's shoes in her room and began cutting them up. When Blakey objected, he stabbed him. Weaver stated. Funeral services for Blakey were held Tuesday afternoon from the Friendship Baptist Church. The Rev. D. H. Whiting, pastor, officiated. A wife, Mrs. Lillian Blakey, and three children. Ellostine Hall, Clarence and William Blakey, survive him. An aunt, Mrs. Phoebe Minor, of Charlottesville, Va., and an uncle, Benjamin Blakey, of Boston, also survive him. WIFE NOT DIVORCED WANTS ANNULMENT Alleging that at the time of their marriage his wife had a living husband from whom she had not been divorced, Ellis Johnson, 600 Q street, last Monday asked the District Supreme Court to annul his marriage to Mrs. Inez H. Johnson, 145 Thomas street, northwest. Mr. Johnson declares that they went through the forms of a marriage ceremony at Rockville, Md., April 23, 1926, as a result of her representations to him that she was a divorced woman. They lived together, he says, until September 1, 1927. Attorney Ernest C. Dickson represents Mr. Johnson. Shoots Wife He Believed to Be Unfaithful Domestic trouble existing over a period of many months was brought to a climax by Randolph Jones, 24 years old, of 511 L street, southeast, when he shot and perhaps mortally wounded his youthful wife, Callia, in front of 806 O Street, northwest. Thursday morning. The couple, Jones told police of the Second precinct, had been in several arguments during the past month. These, he said, has developed following a suspicion that his wife was unfaithful. He declared, in his statement to the police, that he had charged her on several occasions with relationship with other men, but always he said his request that she cease had been rejected. Mrs. Jones left town two weeks ago to attend the funeral of a sister in Detroit. She did not tell her husband, according to his story, when she would return. Waited at Station Antiepating her return to Washington, Jones said he hung around Union Station every day since last Sunday, in an effort to meet her when she arrived. Failing in this Jones told police he started a search for her. Thursday morning, Jones hired a taxicab and rode about in the vicinity he said he knew his wife frequented. At about 11 o'clock he came across her at the House of Prayer at Sixth and M streets, northwest. He said he followed her through M street in the cab, but at Eighth and M streets the cab was forced to detour for street repairs in M street. He finally overtook his wife at Ninth and O streets. Jones dismissed the cab at Ninth and O and got out. After following Mrs. Jones for a short distance down O street, the husband declares he called her and asked that she come with him. The girl, he said, continued down O street. Becomes Enraged In a frenzy of rage, Jones declares he began firing. With the first shot, Mrs. Jones slumped to the ground with a cry of "Oh my God." The man then pulled the trigger five more times, and four SHOOTS AT COPS AFTER FAILING TO SEARCH HOUSE Sylvester Davis, 30 years old, of 456 N street, northwest, was sentenced to one year and fined $500 by Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court, Monday. Davis was charged with having threatened the lives of persons living at 1715 Fourth street, northwest, and of assault with a dangerous weapon. The assault charge grew out of an exchange of shots between Davis and Second precinct policemen which resulted in the shooting of a bystander. Responding to a knock at the door of her apartment at 1715 Fourth street, at 9 o'clock Sunday stopped the girl while she was night, Mrs. Irene Hatcher found herself, according to her statement, confronted by a man whom she had never seen before. The man, who later turned out to be Davis, pushed by Mrs. Hatcher, the story goes, and went through the house flourishing a revolver and threatening any of those present who interfered with his mission. While the purpose of his visit or his mission was not explained, it is believed by police and occupants of the house that he was looking for a woman. Davis Returns Davis left the house and a few minutes later returned. This time he found the door locked securely and no way of re-entering. He stood on the sidewalk, it is said, and at the top of his voice, demanded that the door be opened. While he was thus engaged policemen from the Second precinct arrived. Seeing them, the man ran. The policemen gave chase. Shots were exchanged, and one of the bullets struck William Washington, 22, of 420 Canal street, southeast. Washington was taken to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing auto and treated by Dr. C. N. Gordon for a minor fracture of the ankle. Davis was captured after a short chase and placed under arrest.

Weaver Slaps Girl ```markdown ``` IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE N DISAPPEARS ARREST; MOB IS HIS LIFE Mob violence almost found its way in the Nation's Capital, last Saturday night, when Isaiah Earle, 27-year-old janitor of the Bradford building, 908 Fourteenth st., northwest, was accused of assault on a white woman, Anna Pierce, 23, in the basement of the building. The woman lives at 1211 Goodhope road, southeast. A crowd of over 100 persons milled about the patrol wagon as it stood in front of the Bradford building with Earle. The efforts of First Precinct policemen and headquarters detectives succeeded in keeping the crowd back. Start Search for Earle According to the woman, and Eddie Tipton, proprietor of a cigar store adjoining the building, Earle is alleged to have lured her into the basement and attacked her. Finally, so their story goes, the woman broke away from Earle and ran to the street where she "met" Tipton. When the latter with W. D. Warnke, 920 Fourteenth street went to the basement in search of Earle, he has disappeared. Warnke, Park Policeman Jerome B. Lawler and Officer Sam Davis started out in search for Earle, and at Fifteenth and K streets saw him. After Warnke struck Earle, the policeman placed the latter under arrest. Earle's Story Interviewed by a Tribune reporter, Tuesday, Earl declared that the whole thing is a "frame up". He says that about 8 o'clock Saturday night the woman came up to him as he was standing in the hallway of the building and asked him if he could get her some whisky. He said he told her that he could not. Leaves Building He then left the place and went to the Galt building, 1413 H street for the purpose of attending to the furnace there. Earle's duties as janitor call for the caring for the fire at the Galt building as well as at the Bradford, both of which are owned by the Harry Wardman Co. Having finished the work at the H street house, Earle said he started to visit a friend who is janitor of a building in Fifteenth street. En route, Earle declared, he was accosted by a white civilian, and two policemen. The civilian struck him in the face. When he asked what they wanted him for, Earle declares the policemen only laughed and answered, "You know what we want." Mrs. Pierce failed to appear for a preliminary hearing set for last Monday morning, and the case was continued until May 9. Earle is without counsel. Woman Disappears Search was made Wednesday for Mrs. Pierce, but all efforts to locate her were futile. Tuesday afternoon she left home and asked a neighbor to notify her husband that she had gone to a hospital, it was said. Police canvassed hospitals Wednesday night but did not find her. PORTERS SEEK CONNECTION WITH A. F. OF L. NEW YORK, April 30. On April 25, in the American Federation of Labor headquarters at Washington, D. C., A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, appeared before the executive council to present the case in behalf of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters receiving an International Charter. His argument was received with great interest, attention and concern. The outlook is that the Brotherhood will receive an international charter from the American Federation of Labor. In the event that it receives such a charter, it will be epochal and historical and veritably mark a revolution in the relationship of Negro labor to organized white labor in the country and also invest Negro workers with a new weapon of offense and defense in the industrial struggle. It will be the first international union headed and controlled by Negroes in the history of the American labor movement. 220 U Street, N.W.

Liberal Progressive Independent GRASSLESS LAWNS in neighborhoods occupied by our homes argue occupants who are negligent, careless or poverty stricken. Just because grass requires cultivation and care, it becomes an evidence of diligence, self-respect, and regard for the appearance of one's home and civic pride. Now is the time to make your home grounds speak to the passing world. --- STANDING TOGETHER obliges us to punish those who refuse to live and act up to the rules of the game, as much as it demands that we stand with those who are denied the privileges under those rules. A criminal is against society and, regardless of his color, we must desire to see that he gets the limit of the law following a fair and impartial trial. EVERY JANITOR who fails to keep the trust imposed by the nature of his job, lowers the wages and position of every other janitor. It is time for the people who wish to hold such places to form an association with a code of rules and a standard of performance. There is danger that irresponsible men may close an avenue of employment to men worth while. While fighting for new opportunities for employment, we must be alert to keep what we have and to increase the income. AN ESTABLISHED RIGHT TO CONFIDENCE Under the above caption, the twenty-ninth annual report of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company makes an appeal for opportunity to serve the Negro in a manner in which all intelligent people need service—in protecting them against the risks and uncertainties of the future. That men have learned to pool their risks and to set aside small portions of their income against the happening of such risks, are two of the greatest gains of modern civilization. But that those combined earnings should have reached the sum of more than five millions of assets under the control of a single concern of our race, is proof that we have caught, and do operate under, the spirit of modern American life. In the contracts which amount to more than seventy-three millions for insurance, there is determination to win against the heavy odds of life. There is confidence based upon performance and capacity to supervise and direct so vast an enterprise, as is indicated by the entrance into the third decade of management of the company. It is well named, "National Benefit," for the wisdom shown by the people in making this preparation for the future and the character registered by those who have so managed the business as to gain and keep public support for so huge a venture, is a national benefit. And this applies no less to other life and "benefit" companies, some long established, others rapidly mounting up in business and in confidence. It should not be forgotten that the aggregation of the small weekly, monthly and term payments into the hands of those who are responsible for the progress of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and others of our insurance and "benefit" and "aid" companies make it possible to redirect the combined sums into channels of productivity that not only increase the wealth and economic opportunity of the race, but assures their safe and secure investment. One has but to recall that the services connected with these vast enterprises call for an army of employees who are already trained through education and years of service, or are in process of being trained through experience both to earn a living and to carry on the work through the ensuing decades, to see how directly productive and beneficial are these enterprises. In their success we have registered an indisputable proof of, and an educational project in the principle of, co-operation. The needs of every individual and his family call for the individual and collective services of a thousand individuals directed by honest, competent and progressive executives, and their combined needs create a force and a power capable of serving other needs of the body, mind and spirit. Washington Tribune Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by IHE WASHINGTON BURENUE PUBLISHING COMPANY the National Benefit Life Insurance Company as well as other like institutions have "an established right to confidence." MARTIN B. MADDEN It is given to few men in public life to command the respectful attention of the entire governmental personnel, as was evidenced in the obsequies of the late Martin B. Madden, who died in harness as Congressman from the first district of Illinois. Vice-President Dawes truly said, "Work is not an incident of a career, but a career is an incident of real work." Mr. Madden made himself one of the most important men on Capitol Hill by work. As chairman of the appropriations committee of the House of Representatives, it was his duty not only to guard the Treasury against attempts to direct its resources to every conceivable end, but it was his stupendous task to keep his finger upon the pulse of the immense and complex business of the government of the United States, the biggest business in the world. Behind every bill and upholding every law that is to function, there had to be an appropriation, and it was Mr. Madden's power and prerogative to kill many a vicious bill by denying to it that essential element in its life. As American citizens first, as citizens of the District of Columbia next, and finally as people who seldom figure in an appropriation bill except it be for purposes of segregation, and always jockeyed out on the well known plea, "Keep money out of the hands and pockets of the Negro," we sincerely and respectfully feel the loss of Mr. Madden who was a friend on many occasions on both sides of the opposition to accepted procedure. It was fitting that we should be represented, as we were by distinguished leaders of our own blood and tradition, at his funeral here in Washington. Mr. Madden's passing typifies the closing of an era. The criticism of the "See-and-Say Method of Teaching Reading," made by Dr. Bernard Sachs of New York City, at the recent meeting of the American Neurological Society, in this city, calls to mind another instance where the colored schools were forced to abandon methods in education which are now found to be right and the best. For more than twenty years, Dr. Lucy E. Moten sent out additions to the corps of teachers in our beginning schools, who were instructed and drilled in the phonetic system of teaching reading. Teachers and children reached a high degree of excellence in that basic art in educational practices. With the consolidation of schools she was obliged to use text books, charts and methods which presented the subject by the association method. She protested and cited the excellent results achieved by numerous teachers and the progress and record of the children to support her contention, but all to no avail. Change was taken to be synonymous with progress, and change she had to by orders. Our city suffers from a certain blind following of the practices in other schools which does not make for the best results in education. There is a persistent worship of the new, or of that which comes from without, that argues against any practice which we have ourselves worked out. There is a certain awe-stricken attitude with which some of our people regard anything done by some one other than one of our own number, that destroys confidence in those who are in positions of leadership. Perhaps that is natural in a situation where, by wealth and prestige, we take second place in every activity. Race pride, and the willingness to abide by the results which count, may release us from this blind worship of "what the other fellow does." Educators must in a sense be prophets, must see the conditions to be met by their charges, and adopt the means necessary to fit them to cope successfully with their difficulties. We are of the opinion that no one is so well qualified to do that as our own educators and the teachers whom they instruct, train and inspire.

Paynter The feeling is strong to will and to do And fills and thrills one through and through Like roses bathed in morning dew. On Lincoln Heights. Tho' steep the hill, the way is plain And easy, too, when once you gain The pathway leading from the train To Lincoln Heights. "What do they do up there?" you say. Work and study and sometimes play; Yet each and all find time to pray At Lincoln Heights. A happy thought, this Burroughs plan Full strong it helps to lift the ban That presses down the under man This Lincoln Heights. But oh, those lights up Lincoln way Jewelled pictures sketched after day Beacons of promise to all who may Reach Lincoln Heights. Who is the one who loves you the best? Who is the one who toils with care? Who is the one who treasures you above the rest? Who is the one who thinks you are fair? Quickly the name rings in your ear. It is your own; Mother Dear. Who gladly performs any task, For anyone's benefit you ask Who secolds when you disobey. These are hard to forget. Though in her heart for you she prays? Who will miss you when you have gone Who will pray 'tis Heaven you reach? Though your friends have been true all along, There's no one, nowhere, within earth's reach. Who would sacrifice her life for you when death draws near. As your faithful Mother Dear. MASONIC NOTES MASONIC NOTES Meetings next week Monday—Felix Lodge, No. 3; Prince Hall Chapter, No. 5, O.E.S.

Five of them promised that they are going to write to you. We will wait and see. Please give us just as many letters as you can. I would rather see letters in our Corner than anything else. When the Tribunens write letters it then seems to be more of a kiddies' corner than it does otherwise. Excuse long letter—but I just had to say my say. I have been intending to write for a long while, but I have kept putting it off. Here's three cheers for the Kiddies' Corner. Janice N. Murray (15) Dear Editor; Last week I wrote a letter Telling you that I was true, This week I’m trying to do better Although I feel sort o’ blue. Blue ‘cause the sun’s not shining. Blue ‘cause there’s so much rain, Blue—but I’ll stop complaining ‘Cause the sun’s bound to shine once again. Dear Editor: Last week a boy by the name of John Summers implied that girls are dull. It is not true. I know some girls who are just as smart as any boy that I know. She is good at her lessons, she can cook, play the piano, sing, make paper flowers, sew, and she can beat any boy I know playing marbles and skating. She does anything that we boys can do. She plays ball with us, too. She is a jolly good fellow and I'm willing to bet that she can beat Mr. John Summers doing anything at all. Girls are all right. Clarence Milton (12) Dear Editor: Now that it nears time for the closing of schools, it may be a good idea to turn our minds to the kitchen—to helping mother cook. Here is a simple recipe for making croutons: Cut stale bread in one-third inch slices, and remove crusts. Spread thinly with butter. Cut slices in one-third inch cubes, put in pan and bake until delicately brown, or fry in deep fat. This is a good thing to make when your mother is going to serve soup. Croutons go good with --- TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect sander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. JANICE LIKES LETTERS Dear Editor: I was glad to see so many letters in the Corner last week. It looked like old times once more. Tell the other Tribuites to keep up the good work. I bone that they will. Don't Say Nigger BLUE LETTER Your pal. Girls are all right. TO MAKE CROUTONS soup. I would appreciate simple recipes from other Tribunites. Let us have some. us have some Lalette M. Scott (12) JULIA MAKES A. STATEMENT Dear Editor: A few weeks ago you had several short articles that told us that during the summer months we should spend our time reading magazines, and taking part in the contests that they have. I have been reading children's magazines for quite awhile, and I get lots of pleasure out of doing so. I have a chance, as you stated, to compete with children (most of them white) from all over the country. I have received honorable mention in some of the white newspapers in which some of my letters and stories have been published. I really get a lot of enjoyment out of all of the children's pages that I read. I enjoy our Kiddies' Corner, because that seems to be our very own. I was glad to see so many nice interesting letters last week. I wish that more will be sent in and published. Keep up the good work and just flood OUR corner with letters. Make them snappy. Julia A. McKenney (13) WELCOME Dear Editor: I have been reading the Kiddies' Corner for a long time, and now I would like to become a buddy. I live at 329 Rhode Island avenue, northwest. Mahala Lewis (14) MILTON WRITES Dear Editor: We have what we think a dandy pal and playmate. His name is Bobbie. Bobbie is a white dog with a big brown spot on his back and two brown ears. He is about five years old and we have had him since he was a tiny puppy. He loves to play hide and seek with us and seems to understand the game too. He loves to find the hidden stick and to play ball. He is our best playmate and he never gets mad with us. Bobbie has not been home for a week, and we miss him. We hope he has not been killed by an automobile, and that he will come back home to us. Milton A. Hopkins (11) Don't Say Sex THE FRANCIS MAGNET The Francis Magnet, edited and printed by the students of the John R. Francis Junior High School, has found its way to the editor's desk. The editors are: Dorothy Clark, Gladys Jefferies, Rose Stevens, Carlyn Childs, Ellen Knight, and Alma Rich. The business manager is Winston Hennings; advertising manager, Vernon Ricks; circulation manager, Carl Rouser; faculty advisor, Mr. M. W. Tignor. We agree with the Edison Record, published by the pupils of the Edison Junior High School of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which says, in its exchange column: "The Francis Magnet from our capital great. "Is short and snappy and quite sedate." The following list consists of the names of those student-printers of sections 9A-4, 9A-2, and 9B-2, who set type for, and printed the April 1'; issue of The Magnet, under the direction of Mr. J. F. Green, instructor of printing. They are: Thomas Killgo, Edward Chives, Nathaniel Taylor, Louis Clark, James Hogue, Franklin Waters, John Spriggs, William Jackson, Joseph Frazier, and Vernon Ricks. quality and a scholarly musicianship that revealed an artist of rare attainments. As an accompanist she was entirely sympathetic, but as soloist she stood out above board in interpretative powers and breadth of vision as an artist. Miss Guy-Martin taught at Howard in the school year, 1923 and 1924. Mme. Cole-Talbert then sweetly sang group four: "Cry of the Woman" (Mana-Zucca, "The Fragrance of the Rose" (Clough-Leighter), "Starry Woods" (Montague Phillips), and "Love Went Ariding" by Frank Bridge. The second and fourth numbers were her best efforts in this group, especially the second where her head tones were lovely indeed. Thus was ended the English group. A group of spirituals followed: "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" (Burleigh), "Balm in Gilead" (Burleigh), "Wake Up, Jacob" (C. C. White), and "Hope I'll Jine De Band" by (F. C. Talbert). She put her soul in these Negro songs, Burleigh's "Balm in Gilead," perhaps being the most effective. The singer herself turns composer-arranger in "Hope I'll Jine De Band," closing an evening of delightful entertainment in song. The audience was quite confused in a sudden change of program which was regrettable as no announcement was forthcoming. One encore number during the program, "Mighty Lak A Rose," was skillfully sung. Y.W.C.A. NOTES Y.W.C.A. NOTES On Tuesday, May 1, Child Health Day was observed in the Girl Reserve clubs.

FLORENCE COLE-TAL BERT'S RECITAL AT DUNBAR By Wellington Adams The first assistant superintendent of schools, Garnet C. Wilkinson, headed a brilliant audience of Washington's leading citizens and musicians that almost filled the Dunbar high auditorium to capacity on Thursday evening, April 19, to hear Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, dramatic soprano, presented by the College Alumnae Club. Mme. Talbert's voice was pure and mellow, her lower tones richly vibrant. She exhibited wonderful control of her tones, and had range, volume, breath control, and style. The delicate qualities of her tones add much color to her already richly interpretive art. She possessed the utmost in poise, presence and polish and her dramatic ability overshadowed all. Her language diction seemed well nigh perfect. In the opening group she sang, "The Violet" (Mozart), "Star Vicino" (Salvator Rosa), "Verborgenheit" (Wolf), and "Widmung" by Schumann. The lovely phases of Wolf's "Verborgenheit" were poured forth with perfect artistry and equally faultless was the singing of Schumann's "Widmung." She possibly was not at her best in the first group of songs, but as the program progressed her voice took on added lustre and glory. It was in her second offering, Verdi's aria, "Ritorna Vincitor," from Aida, that she showed the entire range of her abilities and requirements demanded by Verdi's operatic score. The florid coloratura passages with a sweeping cadenza of limpid beauty won an ovation from her audience, scoring heavily again in an encore number of almost equal artistry and warmth of tone. Her third group included: "Clair De Lune" (Szule), "Serenata Francoise" (Leoncavallo), "Nevicata" (Respighi) and "A Vuchella," Neapolitan, by Tosti concluding the two language groups of her program Particularly effective were "Nevicata," by Respighi, and the Neapolitan air by Tosti. An encore number of a sweet Mexican folk song followed. A beautiful bouquet of roses were presented to the singer by Miss Muriel Milton, the singer smilingly acknowledging the tribute with gracious bows. Goldie Guy-Martin of Chicago, accompanist, next played "Rigoletto: Paraphrase" (Verdi-Liszt), winning a musical triumph all alone. Her encore was Coleridge-Taylor's "Tgrantelle." Her technique was as clear as a crystal, rebounding up and down the scale passages with a dexterity that was really astounding, fortissimo chords brilliantly done, pianissimo of superb TWO TWO DIE IN FIRE WHICH DESTROYS THEIR HOME Two persons are dead and two others are in a serious condition at Emergency Hospital from severe burns received when trapped by flames which destroyed a large portion of their home at 1309 D street, northwest, last Saturday night. The efforts of firemen who entered the burning building and rescued them have in two cases proven futile. Mrs. Mary Barnes, 62 years old, and her six-year-old grandson, Bernard Matthews, succumbed to their burns. Mrs. Barnes' son, the child's father, Richard Matthews, and a younger child, Alonzo Matthews, aged 4, are the two who are battling for their lives at the hospital. The family was in bed when the fire, believed to have started in some trash under a shed adjacent to the rear of the house, was discovered by an unknown passerby who sent in the fire alarm. When firemen arrived they found the three-story dwelling enveloped in flames. In response to cries, heard coming from the building, two of the firemen rushed into the house where they discovered the family huddled frantically in a room on the top floor. Flames were shooting from the windows as the rescuers fought their way through a front room and handed their human burdens to other firemen perched on ladders outside. The injured were rushed to the hospital in the first precinct patrol. The home in which the family lived is less than one-half block from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A large number of colored employees of the department helped make up the crowd of nearly 300 who watched the rescue work. FLIM FLAM GAME BY "WONDER WORKER" Declaring that she had been sent by the spirits to deliver a message, a self-styled "Indian Wonder Worker" gained entrance to the home of Mrs. Delilah Wright, last Friday, and after hypnotizing Mrs. Wright made off with money and jewelry valued at more than $500. Mrs. Wright, who lives at 2312 Seventeenth street, northwest, told policemen that she opened her door in response to the bell, at about 11 o'clock, Friday morning, and was confronted by a woman of about 25 years old. The woman, Mrs. Wright declared, said her name was Juanita, that she was an Indian and that she had come to deliver a very important message which she brought from the "spirits." This message, however, she declared, "must be given to her (Mrs. Wright) alone." Mrs. Wright said she and "Juanita" went to the former's bedroom. After some preliminary talk, much of which had little meaning, the woman asked Mrs. Wright for a glass of water and a man's handkerchief. The requests complied with, the woman covered the glass with the handkerchief, placed it in a corner of the room, and left, promising to return that afternoon. Asks for Jewelry At 2 o'clock "Juanita" returned. The two women went back to the bedroom of Mrs. Wright, and the Indian took the glass of water and placed it upon a table in front of them. She then told Mrs. Wright that the latter was in possession of about $150 and that some one intended to steal it. Mrs. Wright told her she did not have quite $150. The wonder worker then suggested that Mrs. Wright place all her money and rings in the handkerchief so that she could see "Juanita" work wonders. Mrs. Wright did. Following the direction of the wonder worker, Mrs. Wright placed her hand with the handkerchief in it over the glass, and closed her eyes. Several minutes later, Mrs. Wright was aroused from what she described as a trance by a roomer, who when asked what had become of the Indian visitor, said that he had let her out the front door about ten minutes previous. It was later discovered that he had let a dinner ring valued at $225, a diamond worth $125, and a $45 ring, besides $125 in cash out with her. "Juanita" charged twenty-five cents for the reading. SOMEBODY'LL HAVE TO DO SOME UNTANGLING An extremely odd predicament the Tribune reporter who went to investigate the accident and subsequent injury of little Joseph Douglass at Fifteenth and S streets, northwest, Saturday, found himself in. The accident occurred at the intersection of the two streets which bound three police precincts. The west side of Fifteenth street and the south side of S street are in the third precinct; the north side of S street is in the eighth precinct, while the east side of Fifteenth and the south side of S streets are patrolled by officers of the second precinct. Little Douglass was hurt on the southwest corner, which is in third precinct territory, so the reporter paraded over K street way where policemen of Number 3 hang out. No record of the accident was found there. Following a hunch, the reporter then proceeded to the second rendezvous, but his search there was also fruitless. Meanwhile, getting wind of another story the pencil-wielder hastened to the Doyle domaine where in peering through the books for a write-up of the new story, alack and alas, he stumbled over the record of an accident—the Douglass accident. STUDENT HAS HEART ON RIGHT SIDE Elsey James, Bowie, Md., a Freshmna in the Howard University Dental School, presents science with a unique subject for discussion. In spite of the fact that James has all of his internal organs reversed, he declares he is just as healthy, and has no more occasion for complaint than most of his colleagues. James boasts of having his heart, stomach and spleen on the right side of his body, and his liver and appendix on the left. It might be added here, however, that it is not known whether his A. ELSEY JAMES, freshman H.U. whose heart is on his right side right and left arms were meant to be attached to their respective shoulders or not. James called at Freedmen's Hospital Clinic early last week, complaining of a headache. Samuel O'Brien Payne, of the Howard Medical School, who treated James discovered the unusual condition. When interviewed James said that Dr. E. C. Terry, of this city, was the first to learn of the rarity. While Contract Surgeon for the Government, Dr. Terry discovered the reversal of James' organs. James was at that time enlisted in the army. James was born in Princess Anne, Md., September 30, 1898. He was educated there, entering Morgan College, after completion of the course at Princess Anne Academy. James graduated with an A. B. degree from Morgan in the class of 1926. The man's body has been thoroughly x-rayed and cardiographed fo the purpose of proof and study. SEEKS TO GET MARRAGE ANNULLED Charging fraud, duress and coercion, Mrs. Gertrude Taylor filed suit in the District Supreme Court last Saturday to annul the marriage of her daughter, Mrs. Ernestine Taylor Williams, a minor, to Leonard Williams. Mrs. Taylor alleges that Williams induced her daughter to marry him in order that he might avoid criminal prosecution for certain of his alleged acts with Ernestine. She charges that Williams married her daughter with the deliberate intention of deserting her. They were married by the Rev. Aquilla Sayles, September 2, 1926. Williams deserted his girl-wife immediately after the ceremony. He is now temporarily in Leesport, Pa. Attorney J. Franklin Wilson is representing Mrs. Taylor and her daughter.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 KAPPAS LAUNCH GUIDE RIGHT MOVEMENT By Matthew Mitchell The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded at the University of Indiana January 5, 1911. It had its birth in a unique conception. It was the accomplished aim of the founders to organize a Greek letter fraternity wherein all the ideas of true brotherhood, scholarship, culture, patriotism, and honor may be realized and prevail. The fraternity has been a national organization from its founding and there are now scattered in the leading universities over fifty active chapters. It has been the policy of the national organization to place chapters only where the standing of the school permits and where there is sanction and cooperation of the university authorities. Such a wise policy has limited expansion especially throughout the south where the above named favourable conditions do not prevail, but on the other hand has elevated the standards to full college and university levels thus guaranteeing quality of membership. Kappa men prominent in the social, business and professional life of America are two numerous to mention. Suffice it to name a few of the local members who are intensely interested in the fraternity. They are: Attorney George E. C. Hayes, Mortimer M. Harris, James E. Scott, Percy Hamilton, J. T. Settles, Maurice Chifford, Louis Perkinson, Prof. Roy Tibbs, Dean Woodard, Dean West (Howard), Registrar Wilkinson, Drs. George W. Adams, W. H. Greene, John Mitchell and R. H. Hardman. The National Movement The fraternity has adopted as a national movement the Guide Right Movement. The purpose is to help the young high school students choose the right form of training which will point them to successful preparation for their life's work. It seeks to confer with every young boy possible as to his ambitions and advise him as to his Gladys May of Shufflin' Sam Co.

Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm $2 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine." Costs only 1 cent a dose.

All boys are not advised to seek higher education for all are not fitted for college; but they are advised and assisted to admit themselves to whatever occupation seems best fitted. The movement has met with varying degrees of success. The local chapter is observing the week of April 22, at which time the various high schools will be visited and addressed. Friday, April 27, the Howard student body will be addressed by Armand Scott at the chapel hour. On the following Sunday appropriate exercises will be held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church at the morning services. the national fraternity publishes each month a journal, The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal. It is the only Negro college fraternity organ published monthly in the world and compares favorably with similar publications sponsored by other organizations. The general spirit that permeates the fraternity is one of friendship for all similar groups and non-fraternity men.

MANY NEW GAMES WITH NOVEL PRIZES She was supposed to have had no relatives. It is not definitely known just how Mrs. Evans met her death. She was supposed to have been returning from Alexandria, where she had gone for the purpose of putting money in the bank. She had $70. in her possession at the time of her death. Burke Station is half way between Alexandria and Manassas; and she should have been on the train at that point. It was said that she was walking back from Alexandria. Mrs. Evans was at least 70 years old; she was slightly demented; and she had been known to have confused cash-fare receipts, given b train conductors, with railway tickets. She had been known to have returned home on the train by giving the cash-fare receipt that she received on a north-bound train. Whether or not she had been put down by a zealous conductor, in this instance, is not definitely known. She was given a Christian funeral and placed in the burial grounds of the Negroes of Manassas.

JOHNSON GIVEN REPORT ON PROFESSORS By Sam Lacy It has been learned authoritatively that a report on the findings of the Howard University Faculty Discipline Committee, in its investigation of scandalous rumors involving several professors, was submitted to President Mordecial W. Johnson, on his return from Atlanta, Ga., last week. The investigation was the direct outgrowth of an article written by Walker H. Jordan, a student, in "The Hilltop" student publication of April 11, under the head, "Just Rumor?" The article suggested that the conduct of certain male professors in their relations with young girl students was worthy of more than ordinary campus discussion. The Discipline Committee has no jurisdiction whatever over members of the faculty. Its existence is solely for the purpose of discipling students who violate the laws of the university. When the committee, therefore on April 17, summoned Jordan before it, it was for the purpose of questioning him in regard to the grounds for such an article. Make Investigation The evidence produced by Jordan and other students before the Discipline Committee was of such serious proportions that the committee was empowered to conduct an investigation into the charges and make an official report to the president. When Dr. Johnson returned to the city from a lecture tour, the report involving the teachers was placed in his hands by teh committee. In an interview, Thursday, Dr. Johnson, while deploring the incident, had the following to say: "When I read the report of the committee I was more than pleased at learning that only four members of a faculty numbering 160 were involved. "While the charges are of a most serious nature and are distasteful, I cannot but feel encouraged that so few of such a large number are named. I am now carrying on my own personal investigation, and that investigation, it may be assured, will be rigid and thorough." HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH GIVES TEA AND ENTERTAIN- TAINMENT Many guests were entertained at the musical and literary tea given by Aurora Household of Ruth, G. U. O. of O. F., last Sunday evening at the residence of Mrs. F. Maury Lee, 1142 Twenty-first street, northwest.

PEABODY SPEAKS AT HOWARD George Foster Peabody, banker and phialanthropist, of New York City, addressed the students of Howard University in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Monday morning, April 30. Dr. Peabody spoke of the faith possessed by the students in attendance at Howard University, for said he, "No young man or young woman comes to a university such as this without some measure of faith in themselves." He urged that they would use the facilities to be found at Howard University to add to their faith, knowledge—knowledge of what to do and how to do.

ALPHAS TO BEGIN GO-TO-COLLEGE CAMPAIGN MAY 6 Although the week of April 29 to May 6, inclusive, has been designated by Raymond Cannon, director of education of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity as Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College Week, the local graduate and undergraduate chapters of the fraternity will observe it during the week of May 6 to May 13, inclusive. The campaign will be conducted throughout the country by the seventy chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha in a general crusade against "ignorance." The aim of the movement is to enlarge educational opportunities and to promote better understanding among the people of the entire country regardless of race, creed, or religion. The activities of the Washington chapters this year will be confined to the schools of the District of Columbia. The local committee feels that greater and more results will be obtained by appealing to the school children direct. Speakers will be selected to speak before audiences of the high schools and junior high schools, and before combined groups of eighth grade students. One night during the week of May 6, there will be a radio address from a local broadcasting station. Thursday morning, May 10, a program will be presented in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel of Howard University from 10 to 10:30 o'clock. Aside from these activities bookmarks will be distributed among the school children with appropriate educational messages, and letters will be sent to each of the ministers of the city, asking him to make his sermon on May 13, one on education. James N. Saunders, teacher in the Dunbar High School, has been appointed director of educational activities for and in the District, and Baxter Don Goodall, of Howard University, campaign manager of the undergraduate chapter. Working with Mr. Saunders and Mr. Goodall are A. Franklin Fisher, Robert Mance, Kenneth Eldridge and Rowan A. Murray.

BAD HEALTH OF NEGROES ATTRIBUTED TO POOR DIET NEW YORK, N.Y., May 4.—"What most impresses the newcomer to Harlem (or any other urban Negro community) is the amazing frequency of funerals." With this sentence Heba Jannath begins a series of trite articles in the April number of the Messenger, entitled, "Death and Diet." Quoting the statistics on sickness and death among Negroes in comparison to the whites, Miss Jannath points out the singular fact that while "The Negro is constitutionally the superior of the white man, having better eyes, a more resistant skin, more stable nerves and better metabolism" nevertheless Negroes are dying proportionately faster than white folks and are cursed with more sickness. This, the writer points out is not so much due to congestion or bad sanitation as it is to faulty diet. If the Negro ate properly he could very shortly reduce his death and sickness rates below that of the white citizens, but instead he insists on a diet consisting largely of pork, black-eyed peas, corn bread, coffee, fried dishes, hot biscuits, rolls and all sorts of greasy preparations. In the course of her illuminating discussion of the subject the author takes occasion to rap the germ theory of disease, to deny that anything is known about tuberculosis and to charge that there has been no real advance in medical science. This very iconoclastic paper has aroused considerable discussion everywhere. MRS. ALICE C. POLLARD BURIED Funeral services for Mrs. Alice C.

The purpose of this committee, according to Randolph, is to formulate and work out the strategy for conducting the strike when the time comes. FUNERAL DIRECTORS TO MEET IN BIRMINGHAM CHICAGO, Ill.—The Independent National Funeral Directors' Association, composed of eighteen state and district associations, has set the dates of its third annual meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, for May 21, 22, and 23. An attractive feature of the meeting this year, will be a trip to Tuskegee, May 24, to witness the commencement of that institution, and to visit the government hospital where many Negro wounded soldiers are being treated. The association is to spend the afternoon and night of May 24 as special guests of the institute. On the morning of May 25 before leaving, a special address will be delivered to the group by Dr. Mor 3000 Undertakers There are nearly 3000 Negro funeral directors in the country.

A CLASSIFIED AD IN THIS PAPER IS A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 MAN IN SERIOUS CONDITION FROM SHOOTINGSCRAPE George Johnson, 24 years old, of 2116 Champlaine street, lies in Freedmen's Hospital at the point of death as the result of an altercation Sunday in which he received three gunshot wounds, all in vital places. Augustus W. Burress, 30 years, living at 1762 Kalorama road, is being held at number eight precinct in connection with the shooting. Burress is nursing a wounded hand. According to the story told by eyewitnesses, the men had left another Kalorama road address where they had spent most of the afternoon talking. Johnson and Burress, it is said, had both had something to drink. They were in a party of six; the other four being, Ransom Harris, a room at 1762 Kalorama road, the same house in which Burress rooms; Homer Lee, 1806 T street, northwest; Walter Neblett, 1522 U street, northwest, and Thornton Simmons, 2298 Champlain street, northwest. On arriving in front of the house in which Burress lives, they elected to go in and get him to go along with them. Johnson, according to the version told by one of the men, decided that he would go in and apologize for the chiding he had given Burress, which had caused the latter to leave the gang and go home. Buriss' Nasty Mood A woman, said to have been Mrs. Izetta Brooks, proprietress of the house, upon answering the door, advised that Johnson had best not come in. Burress, she told them, was in a nasty mood. The men went in. Burress came down the stairs with a revolver in his hand. Johnson, according to the story, made a lunge as if in an effort to disarm the man. Burress fired. He fired several times. When policemen of the eighth precinct arrived they found Burress still at the house. The revolver was found with all five cartridges empty. One of them, they believe, entered Burress' mand. The man was taken to Garfield Hospital, where he was treated and sent to the station house under arrest, to await the outcome of Johnson's injuries. Physicians state that two of the bullets entered Johnson's head, causing a possible fracture of the skull, and a third bullet they declare lodged under a shoulder blade. LOCAL NEGROES FIRST TO OPERATE VITAPHONE Two Negroes, Robert Hammond and James Roberts, projectionists, play a big part in the overwhelming success enjoyed by the management of the Republic Theatre in its experiment with the Vitaphone installation. The Vitaphone is an invention synchronizing sound with the picture action. In the opinion of the writer it is an achievement far beyond anticipation of the most vivid imagination. Hammond and Roberts are the first Negroes in America to learn how to operate the newest apparatus to find its way into the motion picture industry, according to advice received from officials of the Electrical Research Products Incorporation, a branch of the Western Electric Co., which installed the Vitaphone and supervised the instruction of the operators. The Republic Theatre is the second house to present the Vitaphone to the movie-going public of Washington. The Metropolitan Theatre, white, also has one. The reaction of the colored cinema lovers has been great. Two consecutive weeks of the "Jazz Singer" picture saw approximately 40,000 persons pass the ticket booth, according to reports of the manager, William E. L. Sanford. This is an attendance record for a single picture at the Republic. The previous mark was 29,000 during the eleven days showing of "Way Down East." A combination of acts, which comprise this week's program, drew a capacity house at each of the night performances last Sunday. AGENTS WANTED Write for our money making plan and circulars TODAY.

SEND $1.00 TODAY SENATOR KING TO SEEK HAITIAN INVESTIGATION ELECTROLA FEATURES HAR RISON'S 8th ANNIVERSARY Harrison's Cafe, which for many years has been the picturesque rendezvous of exclusive parties celebrated its eight anniversary recently. Featuring this occasion is the introduction of the new electrola the last word in a musical reproducing machine. Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, declared last Wednesday that he would ask the Senate committee on foreign relations to conduct an investigation of the activities of the American Government in Haiti and to make recommendations for action to permit the Haitians to re-establish a government of their own choice, free from outside control. Mr. Harrison has created artistic environs in his establishment, and this latest addition makes his place not only unique, but also complete. "Harrison's" has been remembered for the fine tone-quality of its Ampico-electrical reproducing piano, for its hand-painted walls designed by Harold Curtis Brown. "Harrison's" has also meant tasty dishes, prepared in an ultra-modern plant which included ideal features like electric refrigeration. The Senator made this statement after an executive session of the foreign relations committee at which, he said, he and Senator Henrix Shipstead, Farmer-Labor of Minnesota, tried to persuade the committee to take some action to ward these ends. Senator King also said that he plans to ask that his resolution be referred to the foreign relations committee and to demand that public hearings be held on it. The resolution, which reviews the events leading up to American intervention in Haiti and calls for an investigation was introduced on February 23. And now, "Harrison's" offers to music-lovers the phonograph that plays twelve records without change, emitting the clean, round tones through the electrically powered speaker. This machine, the Electrola, which is the most recent development of the Victor Company, plays either records or finest radio music. Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, chairman of the foreign relations committee, stated that his committee discussed conditions in Haiti at the executive meeting on April 18, but took no action. "Harrison's" merits its eighth anniversary congratulations. It represents the logical growth of a legitimate business. As such, it gives employment to nine young men and women. "Harrison's" is an asset. Copyright 1927 the United St in whole or p Mme. PSYC Licensed MAKES A Copyright 1922 by Madame Harrison-Astor for the United States and Canada.

Rolle Wilson. V.-Pres., Eastern Sports Writers' Association PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 8. —Out of the mud and rain which enveloped the Penn Relays on Franklin Field last Friday and Saturday arose many stars to shine in the athletic world and brightest of these was Phil Edwards, "iron man" of New York University. Mightily did he strive and well, and due to his skillful running the Violet carried off two titles on Friday—the Middle Atlantic States one-mile relay and the sprint college relay of America. Both titles were won within a period of forty-five minutes. In the Middle Atlantic event, Edwards was given a few yards advantage by his teammates and he increased the distance to fifteen yards as anchor men from Rutgers and Union failed to overtake him or maintain the pace. Much to the surprise of the 15,000 rain-soaked fans in the stands the New Yorkers returned to the track when the sprint medley was announced. This was run 440, 280, 220 and 880 with Phillip, the Canuck, again anchor and traveling his favorite distance. When the baton was passed to him there were three runners already on the way and he fell into stride behind them and he was decidedly not the odd-on choice for victor. Edwards Leads Edwards held his position till the middle of the second and last lap and then he took things into his own hands—or feet. Spectators in the North stand gasped in surprise as his form shot up to and ahead of the leaders before they had rounded into the back-stretch. His sprint carried consternation with it to his opponents evidently for they tried wild bursts of speed to gain their former places. Tried, but in vain for the sable bearer of the baton was not to be denied and he breezed through the pelting rain, an easy winner by ten yards. This was the most spectacular performance of the day. Charlie Major, St. Bonaventure, shared the spot with three others when he tied for first place at six feet, one inch, in the running high jump. His surviving sharers of the honors were T. L. Maynard, of Dartmouth, defending champion; John Aberthy, of St. Xavier, and Jack McIntosh, of Mammouth. Wilbecan, of Pitt, running the first heat of the "century," was second to Simpson, the Ohio State dyer, and thus shut out from the finals. Woodruff Liscombe, of the College of the City of New York, was third in the second heat. Joe Rainey's Lincoln runners were a bad fifth in their race which was-won by Brooklyn Law. Fletcher, Sydnor, Deery and Dyer ran for the Lion. Howard, too, was lost in the shuffle, and finished sixth in her class. Rutgers won this event. PRINTER NINE LEADS IN DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE PRINTER NINE LEADS IN DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE Government Printing Office, Departmental League baseball champions for 1927, pushed into the lead early this week by virtue of two wins in their first starts. Slated to open the season, Monday in a battle with the Treasury nine, the G.P.O. tossers gained headway by a forfeiture when the Treasury team failed to put in an appearance. The season actually started when on Tuesday, Agriculture, a new team handed the Veterans Bureau a 5-8 defeat. The Printing Office team took the count of the Navy Yard nine 18-1, Wednesday.

Coach Scales used his strongest line-up against the Lions and it was just too bad from the start. Pitchford, Smith's curve artist, had his famous fade- away working in grand style, and allowed the Georgia boys only six scattered hits. H. Bowman, the Lions' flashy catcher, showed excellent form.

Bruce Flowers, colored lightweight whirlwind, who is considered as a likely contender for the title now held by Sammy Mandell, scored a sensational two-round knockout over Stanislaus Loayza here last night in the wildest night Detroit has ever seen. The New Yorker, after being floored for the count of eight, came back with such a savage two-fisted attack in the next round that Loayza twice hit the canvas, his seconds finally tossing a towel into the ring to halt the affair. Loayza started the first round with a mad rush and battered Bruce around the ring, connecting with Flowers' chin with a right swing. Flowers went down for an eight count and was badly dazed when he clamored back to his feet. He managed to hold on until the bell. Then in the second he started such a furious assault that the Chilean was soon helpless, the two knockdowns coming just before the towel ended the struggle. FLOWERS STAYS IN TRIM BY ACTUAL FIGHTING Bruce Flowers, New Rochelle Negro lightweight, is one boxer who spends little time in the gymnasium. He keeps in form by real battles in the ring. He has been averaging three a month for the past year. Instead of wasting his energies in enervating workouts he keeps in the pink of condition by his frequent bouts for a decision. Flowers always is booked three contests in advance and his present series will begin Monday night with Sid Barbarian, Detroit southpaw, at the St. Nicholas Arena. The following week he meets Honeyboy Finnegan, another southpaw, in Boston, and then he boxes Sid Terris, June 7, at Ebbets Field. BASEBALL IN FULL SWING Games—Union League May 6 Myrtle A.

LACY, Sports Editor HAMPTON TRACK-MEN PREP FOR BIG MEETS HAMPTON TRACK-MEN PREP FOR BIG MEETS By George W. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va., April 28.--This year, the Hamptonians are making bids for honors in every meet of importance. Realizing that to do such a feat Hampton must have a superior team in every respect, Coaches Williams and Smith, with the assistance of Captain Joe Baldwin, are making every possible candidate a real menace in each competition. So far this season they have not had very much old talent to rely upon, for this year the squad is minus the services of Coles, the C. I. A. A. mile and twomile champion, the Baker brothers, both of whom were sure point winners in the high jump and the pole vault, and Snowden and Clark of the relay team. In spite of these losses Coach Smith and Captain Baldwin have found some real threats to all of the present C. I. A. A. record holders. The appearance of James Early, of Altoona, Pa., and Portfield Harris, of Wilmington, Del., on the relay team has given added hope for the repetition of last year's performances. Captain Baldwin at anchor with George Gray as lead-off man seems to give the Hampton sprinters an advantage for arleady they have bettered last year's performances at the Penn Relays, Lincoln Carnival, and the Hampton Meet. Roper in the two-mile and Cecil Cole in the mile run are showing up very well. In the half-mile, Calloway has just about taken the edge from Watson, who is very promising. Of course, great dependence is being placed upon Ruff and W. D. Williams to perform in the broad jump; George Williams is expecting to heave the javelin about 175 feet, and "Duck" Moore is still maintaining good form with the discus and shot-put. These and many more promising athletes will represent Hampton in the coming big meet on May 12th. Already Morris Brown has expressed a desire to enter along with Cheny, Bordentown, Lincoln, Union, Virginia State, Shaw, N.C. State, and A.A.T. Every school hopes to break Hampton's hold on the meet and carry away some of the honors. GRANVILLE AND GARDNER STILL AMONG BUNION DERBY LEADERS The two Negro runners, Phillip Granville and Ed Gardner, in the coast-to-coast marathon race being staged by C. C. Pyle, and which includes only 71 survivors of an original field of nearly 200, are holding their own well up among the leaders. Flashing through with a victorious lap every so often, and always close behind the winner of each control, Granville and Gardner maintain fourth and sixth places respectively. By finding themselves not more than 45 hours behind Peter Gavuzzi, the leader, the two Negroes stand a good chance of being on top at the final check-in. As the trail reaches the middle states, the ten leaders and their total elapsed time for the 2,265.2 miles is: Peter Gavuzzi, England, 371:49:49; Andrew Payne, Claremore, 376:41:33; John Salo, Passaic, N.J., 376:08:16; Philip Granville, Hamilton, Ontario, 412:21 flat; Mike Joyce, Cleveland, Ohio, 422:36:52; Edgar Gardner, Seattle, 424:12:47; William Kerr, Minneapolis, 424:12:47; Giusto Umek, Italy, 428:52:06; John Cronick, Saskatoon, 432:41:17; Perle Perrella, Albany, N.Y., 432:50:13. A TLANTA AGAIN DEFEATS MOREHOUSE, 6 TO 5 ATLANTA, Ga.—Last Saturday was a cold windy day that made the spectators chilly but on the Morehouse baseball field it was red hot. Morehouse came out to avenge the drubbing that Atlanta University gave her in the score of 13 to 3 a few weeks ago, and Atlanta came out feeling confident that she could repeat the victory, but knowing that she had to fight for it. Morehouse sent Forbes to the mound and Atlanta sent her colt pitcher, Smalls from Charleston.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 Tribune League Teams Set For Opening Games Umpires for the games carded for opening day will be those of the two teams participating. The teams themselves will furnish the umpires for Sunday's games. The opening games of the Washington Tribune Baseball League will be staged, Sunday, on diamonds throughout Washington and vicinity. The inaugural battles this Sabath will usher in the second season of the Tribune circuit. 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 Lekeland, 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 Coleville Tigers. In the play-off, for the trophy the Marylanders took the verdict. The league was organized and is sponsored solely by the Washington Tribune newspaper. In the first year of its existence the loop boasted of the registry of 29 teams, 24 of which remained with the league until the fall blasts of football season crowded the diamond pastime out of the picture. Of the 24 teams which closed the season with the Tribune circuit, 20 have signed for schedules under the league's supervision for 1928. At the second meeting of the season held last Monday night, the Togans, Hillsdales, Monarchs and Teneytown A. C. were admitted. The re-entrance of these teams will cause the schedule released last month to be changed to some extent. Anacostia vs. Black Barons at Anacostia. Huntsville vs. Northern Stars, at Huntsville.

LIVINGSTONE WINS PAIR TO CLOSE STATE TOUR SALISBURY, N.C., Apr. 27.—The Livingstone Bears wound up a triumphant march through Carolina and Virginia by returning home and taking St. Paul and St. Augustine in two days and beating them both. Yokley pitched against St. Paul and allowed only four scattered hits while the Bears made twelve hits and a few errors count for fifteen runs. The next day, Lewis faced St. Augustine and wiped them out, 17-8. E. Jones was the batting star of the day, securing a homer, a triple and two singles out of six trips to the plate. The St. Augustine game was the Bear's sixth consecutive win.

SHAW TAKES MEASURE OF ARMSTRONG NINE The Shaw Junior High Baseball Team, after its loss to Dunbar, last Wednesday, redeemed itself by a decisive 9-7 win over Armstrong, Thursday, on the Walker Memorial Stadium grounds. The Junior High boys played a smart brand of ball, and had very little trouble disposing of the Orange and Blue lads, whose poor judgment at critical times, aided materially in the defeat. The playing of "Dick" Hood, Green and White, shortfielder, was features of the contest from start to finish. Jasper and Beverly did the hurling for Shaw and showed up well. The slab duty of the Techites was placed in the hands of Fuqua. ORIENTAL TIGERS ANNEX DOUBLE VICTORY The Oriental Tigers, baseball champions of the District for 1927, took both ends of a double-header on their grounds at South Capitol and P streets, southwest, Sunday. After defeating the Huntsville Giants, 15-3, "Prides of the Point" added a 17-0 win over the Washington Barracks nine in a 5-inning nightcap. "Blackfoot" Scriver faced the Marylanders in the opening tilt, and with the aid of relentless slugging on the part of his mates handed the Huntsville clan a nasty trimming. Davis and Burgess with 4 hits each led the Oriental onslaught. Scriver fanned an even dozen visitors. The Barracks team found itself facing the speed ball hurling of Red Powell in the finale. They were powerless. While every man in the southwest line-up was enjoying a batting spree, Powell held the aliens to one lone bingle, that by Mathews, third baseman.

Drye begins to play "Semper Fideles," the first number of a thirty-minute concert, starting the Second Annual Relays, records will be in danger, if weather conditions are at all favorable. Coaches of universities and colleges, high and preparatory schools have been pointing their athletes for these games since early fall. Among the university teams that are expected to win is the Wilberforce quarter mile quartet of Jackson, Nixon, Robinson and Southern. Coach Harry Graves has some splendid sprinters this year and he is sending his fastest four to the Tuskegee relays. Coach W. H. Kindle has groomed his one-mile team for the relays. The Tornado quartet will be composed of Rhone, Williams, Garrison and Poole. The team has made 3:32 for the distance. New Orleans Strong New Orleans University has a very strong team in the half-mile relay, which is composed of Griffith, Denton, Hamilton, and Harrison. This team has made fast time in several brushes against the clock. New Orleans will also be among the contestants in the one-mile relay. Clark University will also have strong teams in the quarter-mile, half-mile, one-mile, two-mile and the sprint medley relay. The Sprint Medley relay team composed of Carver, Chambers, Wadleg and Moore has been turning in good time. Atlanta University is concentrating on the sprint relays of the quarter- and half-mile. King, the baseball pitcher, is very fast in the 110 yards and Coach Gunn has groomed Jones, Moon and Wiggins to make up the quarter-mile team. Atlanta University has also entered teams in the half-mile, one-mile and sprint medley relay. Colling is Good Fort Valley Normal and Industrial School should have a fast half-mile team. Collins, who won the 100-yard dash last year is very fast, and in addition, Coach Bywaters has Brown, Bostic and Dillard for the other places. Fort Valley has also entered a team in the Sprint Medley relay. Morehouse College has entered men in the quarter-mile, half-mile, one-mile, two-mile, and four-mile relays. The Morehouse crack half-mile relay team that won the event last year along with the Chicago-Tuskegee Club Cup is expected to meet its greatest opposition in that event from Wilberforce University and Alabama State School. The Alabama State has entered Lewis Poole, Frazier and Webb in the half-mile relay. Paine Sends Most Paine College of Augusta, Georgia, has entered the largest number of men in the relays. Paine has men in the nine special events as well as the six relays. Their four-mile team of Dix, Davis, An- THE D Don't forget the Intro- ductory pages of the Directory.

Talladega College: McClenney and Poor. derson and Brown have turned in the fast time of 18:26. Tuskegee is going after all rejays and special events with a vengeance. In the shot put, Tadlock, who won the event last year, is again available. Steward, who won second place in the javelin last year, throwing the spear over 100 feet will again be a contestant. The Second Game Talladega cinched the second game by pounding Brown for four consecutive hits, in the first inning. At this point Brown was relieved by Collins, State Normal's Ace, but he was also pounded hard. Gillard, pitching for Talladega, held the visitors to four hits and had it not been for Talladega's first baseman's confusion on a possible third out letting a man go from second to home. Gillard would have shut the champions out. In the high jump Charles Maurasse, the Paris, France, youth, who clears the bar for more than five feet, will be in the pink of condition. Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple threat gridiron star; Whitlow, the Crimson flash; T. Thomas; Alba; Bramlett; W. Harris, and a host of others will be in the running. The Tuskegee team is directing its attention towards winning the Liberty Life Insurance, Chicago, Illinois, trophy.

Friday and Saturday, Talladega College played its last home series against Alabama State. The first game was a pitchers' duel between Hardy for State Normal and McClenney for Talladega.

Only a THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 (Continued from page 1) his opinion to the best "available" Republican to beat Smith, Mr. Vann leaves Dwight W. Morrow at the end of the sentence. And if Mr. Morrow, whom President Coolidge drafted from the international banking house of Morgan for the Mexican portfolio, has any mass appeal as a vote-getter, the fact is carefully concealed among and by his proponents, including Mr. Vann. There are thousands of independent Negro voters who favor Gov. Smith for President, and who hope that he will be nominated. There are doubtful Negro voters, whose votes will be sought. Hoover already has well prepared his ground of appeal to Negro voters first, by backing up the Negro members of the Mississippi flood-relief committee, with abolishing segregation in the Census Department, and, additionally, through wiping out segregation in the Interior Department by Secretary Work, who at first categorically declined to. And Work is chief of the Hoover-for-president boosters. This leaves but two probable Negro approaches on Morrow's account—discontinuance of segregation in Secretary Mellon's Treasury department, and recognition of the Porters' Union by the management of the Pullman Company. And the Pullman Company is, naturally, quite close to the house of Morgan, and "big business." Because of Vann's unfallering, publicity support of the Pullman porter movement and his sponsoring of Randolph's public appearances in Pittsburgh, it would be the most natural thing in the world, particularly in view of his political connections in national Republican campaigns, and closeness to Secretary of Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, for Vann to be selected as the medium of approach for getting together Pullman Company and Pullman Porters' Union—not for the porters' sake, but on account of Republican party exigency with particular reference to that group of it which would sponsor the presidential-nomination of Ambassador Morrow. Hence, Mr. Vann's reason for asking Randolph, who is not a Republican, to step aside, and his advocacy of Ambassador Morrow's candidacy almost in the same breath are palpably obvious. Therefore, it is unfair to accuse Mr. Vann of ulterior motive in the premises. While recognition of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters will not mean increase in wages and reasonable working rules for porters and maids, it is what the organization has sought and fought for over two years; and because organizations, not their leaders, are recognized by management, Mr. Vann was afforded an opportunity to render valuable service to the porters, and it is to be regretted that he too soon sought publicity as his agent, as it would be entirely practicable and reasonable for Randolph to still be leader of the union without being its representative in wages and rules conference—just as was true when the union's case was argued here before the Interstate Commerce Commission, on which occasion the union's able attorney, Henry T. Hunt, was its representative. Moreover, it is to be sincerely regretted that Mr. Vann failed to serve his "big connections" in this instance, as reputable Negroes of such connections are badly needed. And there is no doubt that he was approached. He did not himself take the initiative. BARRY FARM NEWS Instead of being returned to his former charge at Campbell A.M.E. Church by the recent A.M.E. Conference held in Washington, Rev. Charles H. Wesley was made a presiding elder. The new pastor sent in his place Rev. J. E. Dames.
