Vol. VII, No. 51 TwoG IN NERVOUS FLIC LOSES PISTOL A OF CLIFF ROCK'S IN NERVOUS FLIGHT, MAN LOSES PISTOL AND MOST OF CLIFF ROCK'S MONEY FIRST COLORED WOMAN SITS ON DISTRICT JURY The distinction of being the first Negro woman juror in this city has fallen to the lot of Phoebe PHOEBE MILES, first colored woman to sit on a District jury. Miles, 405 Fourteenth street, northeast. Miss Miles is one of the jury, now sitting in Criminal Court No. 1 of the District Supreme Court, Chief Justice Frederick L. Siddons, presiding. Miss Miles, who is 25 years old and a life long resident of this city, was notified of her selection as a juror, and began a one-month term on Tuesday. May 1. The presence of women on local juries is rare, due largely to the act which provides that while women are eligible for jury duty, it is optional with them whether they serve or not. Men, when called, are compelled to serve, but the service of women is not compulsory. Miss Miles is a graduate of the Myrtilla Miner Normal School in the class of '24. She received her preliminary education at the Lovejoy graded school, and the Armstrong High School. Besside serving as a subtute teacher in the public school system, Miss Miles is a practical nurse. ENTER PROTEST ON SITE OF NEW JR. HIGH SCHOOL As the direct outcome of a meeting Monday night, the Education Committee of the Northeast Public Interest Association, has filed at Franklin School, a vigorous protest against the proposed erection of a junior high school on the site now occupied by the Lovejoy School. The meeting was held at the Calvary Baptist Church Parish Hall. According to the plans for the proposed new schools, the site to the north of Lovejoy on Twelfth street was to be used for the purpose of enlarging the building. The association, however, contends in its protest, that the plot of ground, which is less than 50 feet in width and not more than one-half block long, is by no means lge enough to afford the erection of a building capable of meeting the demands of that section. A site further east, where more ground would be available, and where the junior high school would be better situated for the caring for students of the Smothers, Burrville and Deanwood schools, was requested by the committee. The Lovejoy school, under Principal D. L. Renfro, has a present enrollment of 900 pupils. With the inception of a junior high school in its place, it would be necessary for the building to accommodate at least 600 additional children. --- Tranquillity was converted into pandemonium when a masked bandit, flourishing a pair of revolvers stepped in a window of the Scottish Rite Temple, 1633 Eleventh street, northwest, Tuesday night, and robbed the Ladies' Cliff Rock Society of $86. The regular monthly meeting, which had just closed peaceably and without incident, was broken-up as the robber, ordering the women to sit still and maintain complete silence, gave the signal for a panic. The society members, nearly 100 in all, arose as one, and with a mighty shout for help that could be heard throughout the neighborhood, started for the door. In less time than it took him to step through the window, the bandit found the room vacated and himself in complete charge. Missed $700 The rush and cries of the women, however, did more than break up the meeting. It served to disconcert the hold-up man. So surprised was he that in his haste to leave the scene, he all but made a muddle of his undertaking. On the secretary's table was about $700 in dues and taxes, which the members had paid. He snatched one of the baskets, which contained approximately $550. On the way out, the bandit stumbled over a chair which had been knocked down in the exit of the ladies, and spilled a large amount of the cash. His anxiety to be gone hindered his stopping to recover the money. A check-up by the women Wednesday revealed that $86 was lost. So far he has eluded the police. INSTRUCTIONS IN AUTO MECHANICS DENIED TO GIRLS By Suzanna Blackwell On September 20, 1927, three Negro girls sought admission to the automobile mechanics day school, which is now conducted at Armstrong High School. They were turned away by the principal of the school on the ground that girls were not instructed in automobile mechanics at Armstrong. The matter was taken up with the First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Garnet C. Wilkinson, but no relief was given. An appeal was then made to Superintendent Ballou. Some of the questions which Mr. Ballou asked were: "Why do Negro girls desire knowledge of automobile mechanics? What could they do with such knowledge after receiving it?" He was informed that Negro girls desired knowledge of automobile mechanics for the same reason that the white girls desired such knowledge. Ballou Indignant. With this answer, Superintendent Ballou became very indignant and replied, "Well, you have not given any reason yet. You will have to make out a case and show a cause why Negro girls should acquire knowledge of automobile mechanics." On October 5, 1927, a petition asking that colored girls be given instruction in automobile mechanics was presented to the board of education at its regular meeting. The principal of Armstrong, David G. Houston and the First Assistant Superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson, were asked to express their views as to whether or not Negro girls should be instructed in automobile mechanics at Armstrong. Mr. Houston and Mr. Wilkinson testified that the course in automobile instruction at Armstrong as conducted is not suited to female students. That being the case, the petitioners should not be enrolled in such a class, even though they were regular students of the school. Mr. Ballou recommended that the board adopt the policy of providing instruction in automobile mechanics for girls in the Armstrong High School whenever a group of twenty or more girls, who are enrolled in the day school, make up.

UNION CAUSES CANCELLATION OF BENEFIT SHOW UNION CAUSES CANCELLATION OF BENEFIT SHOW Organized labor stopped the midnight show for the benefit of the Florence Mills memorial fund at the Howard theatre last Tuesday night. Bill (Bojangles) Robinson telegraphed from New York City, Tuesday night, that he would be unable to come here for the performance. He had promised positively to appear. Rather than have the theatregoing public disappointed by the failure of advertised stars to appear, the Howard theatre management called the show off. Over $1,200 was refunded to ticket holders. Fred Pelham, business agent of the U street local of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Pictures Machine Operators, and Joseph R. Branson, of the American Federation of Musicians, are believed to have caused "Bojangles" to decide not to come to Washington. They notified all acts, which were advertised to appear, that there is a road call against the Howard theatre and that any member of any affiliated body who worked in this house would be subject to action by his organization. Affiliated with A. F. L. Every act on the program belong to one of the affiliated organizations, the National Vaudeville Artists, Association or the Actors' Equity, which are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Besides "Bojangles," stars advertised to appear included Jack Pepper and Joe Bombrest from the Earle theatre, Laneta Lane and a group of players from the National Theatre players, a stage revue from Loew's Palace theatre, all big time houses. S. H. Dudley was to have been the master of ceremonies.

Hill, who is an employee of the Apollo Hat Cleaning and Shoe Shine establishment, 1940 Fourteenth street, northwest, was bending over the cleansing machine when excessive heat caused the ignition of gasoline in a container nearby. A fire broke out, but with the quick response of the apparatus from Number 9 engine house it was extinguished before much damage was done. Dr. J. A.

PHI AGAINST HOOVER GOVERNMENT JOB BETA KAPPA KEY JOS. TINNER, OF EXHIBITION DRILL FALLS CHURCH TO BE STAGED BY N.A.A.C.P., DIES NON-COMS. J'NE7 Two southern demagogues, Senators Thomas J. Hefflin, of Alabama, and Coleman L. Blease, of South Carolina, Democrats, last Thursday on the floor of the Senate attacked Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and Governor Alfred E. Smith, leading Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, for their attitude toward colored people. The abolishing of segregation in the Commerce Department was the basis of the attack on Secretary Hoover. Senator Blease attributed the defeat of Senator Simeon D. Fess, Republican, of Ohio, for delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention, to the order of Secretary Hoover putting together white and colored employees in the census bureau. He has been told, Senator Blease stated, that friends of both Secretary Hoover and Governor Smith have been making promises that a Negro will be put in the Cabinet if either of these two candidates should be elected. Black Chocolates Senator Blease expressed the hope that Illinois and New York will send Negroes to Congress. "I want to walk over," he said, and "see one of Hoover's black chocolates sitting around with some of the white people over there who seem to love him so well." He warned against race riots. "I warn you people," he said, that when you turn the Negro man loose in a riot with whatever arms he may be able to accumulate, and turn the Negro woman, the virago, loose with a torch, God save you people who are acting as you are toward them today! While he is out fighting you with whatever weapons he may get, she is with a torch under the house where your wife and children are sleeping, for when aroused these women are more dangerous than their men." Senator Heflin wants to know (Continued on page 2) When Joseph B. Tinner, president of the Falls Church Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, died last Friday, Falls Church, Virginia lost perhaps the most useful citizen the town has had. Mr. Tinner, a stone mason and contractor by trade, was a most intelligent public spirited and race devoted inhabitant. On numerous occasions he rose to champion the rights of his race. Through his diligent efforts in behalf of his people Mr. Tinner became a leader in the N.A.A.C.P. which organization highly respected him. A Church Man Born in Virginia, one of an original family of twelve children, Mr. Tinner was reared in the shadow of the Galloway M.E. Church, of when congregation he was a member for more than 30 years. He was also a member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The funeral services held Sunday at the Galloway M.E. Church were attended by many of the leading white and colored citizens of Falls Church. Among those who spoke over him was Dr. M. E. Church, white, one of Virginia's outstand-realtors. Surviving Mr. Tinner is his widow, Charity Virginia; two sons, Everett and Rudolph, and a stepson, Ecquard Carey. A daughter, Julia Craig; four sisters, Carrie Carpenter, Harriet Edwards, Emma Orten and Frances Coates, and four brothers, Charles, Harrison, Melvin and Winston, also survive him.

The "silent drill" will be a program of military maneuvers executed by the "non-coms" without command. While Regimental Adjutant Captain Lincoln Hawkins will be in charge of the unit, he will not issue the usual commands. The program will be gone through by memory and concentration. With the announcement of the order of the appearance of the companies, it will be found that the so-called "choice places" have been drawn by two Dunbar and one Armstrong companies. Since a majority of company commanders prefer to carry their units on the field in either third, fourth, or fifth place, the drawings each year are watched with interest to see which captain will be the "lucky man." Companies F and A of Dunbar will appear in third and fourth places while fifth position goes to Armstrong's Company C. The consensus of opinion is that Company A of the Red and Black School, commanded by Captain Burke Syphax, and holding fourth position will bear the watching of the other aspirants for the coveted honor. The order of the appearance of companies follows: Company E, Dunbar; Company I, Armstrong; Company F, Dunbar; Company A, Dunbar; Company C, Armstrong; Company K, Dunbar; Company D, Armstrong; Company B, Dunbar, and Company G, Armstrong.

Miss CAROL CARSON, winner of Phi Beta Kappa key, and member of Phi Kappa Phi. were notified this week of her selection as a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honorary scholarship society. Membership in this society is accorded only to those students who have already been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, which is also an honorary scholarship society. Miss Carson was elected to both societies at the same time. She is the first colored girl to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Michigan, and the first Negro to be elected to Phi Kappa Phi. The highest average obtainable under the rating at the University of Michigan is 3. Miss Carson received an average rating of 2 and seven-tenths. These ratings are based on the four-year average. Effort and Hard Work In a letter to her mother, Miss Carson stated that her achievements were not the result of brilliance, but were the results of constant effort and hard work. She will graduate from the four-year college course at Michigan on June 18. Her father, Dr. Simeon L. Carson, graduated from the same institution on the same date, 25 years ago. He graduated from the School of Medicine with honors at the age of twenty years, the youngest medical student ever to Moss University. Miss Carson is also graduating at the age of twenty years. Dr. Carson's class is having its 25th anniversary this year, so he will attend his daughter's graduation and class reunion at the same time. Miss Carson attended the local graded schools, finishing from Mott. Her college preparatory work was done at Cushing Academy, Ashburnham, Mass. She is very popular among the younger set here. 25 OF PAST 28 YEARS IN JAIL; GETS 5 MORE Not satisfied with having spent 25 of the past 28 years in penitentiary, John P.

Headquarters narcotic men took him into custody shortly after his arrival here, and upon searching him found 8 bottles of cocaine. Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins, prosecuting him in his first hearing in January succeeded in having him held for the action of the Grand Jury. Last Friday, Chief Justice Frederick L. Siddons, sitting in Criminal Division 2 sentenced Brown to four years and six months. From the time of his commitment to the time of his release will be a full 5-year sentence which will make Brown 30 years in the jail in the past 33 years. en's L A. M. E.

General Conference opened here Monday with a record attendance. Through the failure of the microphone to work, thousands of people were unable to hear any of the speakers. However, this was later remedied and when Mayor William H. Thompson welcomed the conference, his voice was heard in every nook and corner. The opening address was delivered by Bishop W. Decker Johnson. Fearing the rising tide of sentiment among the laymen and a large number of ministers in favor of equal lay representation, and the rotation of bishops, he made a strong plea for the delegates to stand by the church. Bishop Joshua A. Jones, of Wilberforce, Ohio, in his Episcopal address asked for the election of four bishops and a special hour for the consideration of organic union. A special report on organic union will be submitted. WISE TO DELIVER COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT H.U. WISE TO DELIVER COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT H.U. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, announces that Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York City, will deliver the commencement address at Howard University, Friday, June 8. Dr. Wise was pastor of the congregation of Madison Avenue Synagogue, New York, from 1893 to 1900 and of Beth Israel, Portland, Oregon, from 1900 to 1906. He founded in 1907 the Free Synagogue of New York. He was the founder and first vice-president of the Oregon State Confederation of Charities and Correction; was the founder of the First Section of the Federation of American Zionists; vice-president of Free Religious Organization of America; chairman in succession to Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the Provisional Executive Committee for General Zionist Affairs; member American Jewish Relief Commission and Joint Distribution Committee vice-chairman Jewish Emergency Refuge Relief Commission; member of Commission on Labor of Council National Defense; representative of American League to Enforce Peace; chairman of Commission of Zionist Organization of America and member of delegation of American Jewish Congress; vice-president Open Forum National Council, American Association of Labor Legislation; founder Eastern Council of Liberal Rabbits; trustee Near East Relief. The baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of Howard University will be preached on Sunday, June 3, by Dr. Johnson, president, in the auditorium of the Howard gymnasium, university campus. COHEN TO CONTINUE AS CUSTOMS COMPTROLLER President Coolidge will continue Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., in office without a reappointment, it was learned Tuesday. Mr. Cohen's original appointment expired April 15th. The action of the President in permitting Mr. Cohen to hold over will prevent a recurrence of the bitter fight that he faced in the Senate when his name was presented for confirmation four years ago. The Louisiana Senators, Joseph E. Ransdell and Edwin S. Broussard, Democrats, opposed him because he is a Negro. The outcome of the factional fight between Mr. Cohen and Emile Kuntz, national committeeman for Louisiana, will not affect the decision of the President to permit Mr. Cohen to retain his office. Both factions have elected delegations to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., June 12. This fight may be arbitrated when the National Committee meets in Kansas City a week before the convention to hear contests. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1667. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE Lodge CES PROBLEM RESENTATION; SHOP FIGHT A.M.E. ZION CONFERENCE ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Special)—The twenty-eighth quadrennial session of the A.M.E. Zion Church opened in this city last week. One of the largest crowds in the history of the church is in attendance. Because of the many important questions coming up before the conference, interest is at a high pitch. Bishop J. C. Clements, of Louisville, Ky., in his Episcopal address which was the keynote speech, called for a budget system which would assure ample finance to carry on the church work. He recommended a Church union between the African Methodist Episcopal church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. The one important subject, the number of bishops to be elected, was ignored. The conference is divided into two camps on this subject. The firts evidence of feeling was shown during the day while Bishop P. A. Wallace presided. Dr. F. C. Cook, delegate from New Jersey, was termed a "smart aleck" by the Bishop. Dr. Cook resented the insult and was supported by a majority of the conference who heckled the Bishop until he made an apology. Moton Speaks Last Friday, Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, was the principal speaker at the educational day rally. President W. T. Trent, of Livingstone College, also spoke. The octet from Livingstone College rendered musical selections. That hundreds of dollars of the church's money was spent without the necessary vouchers to account for it was reported by the auditors who were employed by Bishop L. (Continued on page 10) HOWARD MUST DIE FOR MURDER OF SWEETHEART Malcomb Howard must die in the electric chair for the murder of Jessie Nelson, his sweetheart. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, Monday upheld his conviction on a first degree murder charge carrying with it the death penalty. His execution is set for May 21. Unless he is granted a stay, he will be the second man to die in the District's new electric chair. The first will probably be Philip Jackson on May 15. Three white boys, Nicholas Lee Eagles, Samuel Moreno and John Proctor will follow Howard on May 25 for the murder of Policeman Busch. Howard shot his sweetheart to death on the night of February 4, 1927. Within two weeks of the killing he had made two threats to take her life. On the night of the murder, Jessie Nelson was staying at the home of her sister, Mrs. "Margie" Stewart at 2851 Sherman avenue, northwest. Howard went there and entered into a general conversation with everybody present. Finally everybody left the room but Jessie Nelson and him. Later she was heard to exclaim, "Ah, no no, Malcomb!" He asked, "Do you mean it?" She then screamed. Shots followed. Her sister, "Margie," who was upstairs, ran down. Howard ordered her to "Go back!" Jessie Nelson was lying on the floor apparently dead. Howard pointed his gun directly at her head and chest and fired three more shots. He then stepped over her body and ran from the house. Goes in Hiding He remained in hiding for several days. While detectives scoured the city for him, he visited the District morgue, held her head in his arms and kissed her cold lips. He later surrendered to the police. At the trial Howard testified that the shooting was accidental. At the time of his arrest he told police that he and Jessie had quarrelled and he had decided to end it all. He admitted that he had been convicted of grand larceny (Continued on page 2) Subscription Rates: One Year, $2.50; Six Months, $1.25. Delivered by carrier, 5 cents per week, collected for.

THAT THE SINCLAIR JURY DECISION is the result of the lack of suffrage here in Washington, is the argument made by Captain Julius Peyser, in an interview published in the Sunday World. Probably that accounts also for the strange freaks of weather here in Washington, and if we can so convince Congress suffrage may be ours. SENATOR COLE BLEASE WARNS the South that either Hoover or Al Smith may have a Negro in the cabinet, if elected president. It reminds us of old King Canute who told the waves to stand back, only to discover the puerility of his voice in opposition to natural laws. Poor Please does not know that he is allowed to talk to prevent legislation during a pre-convention session of Congress. REAL FLOOD CONTROL So conflicting have been the views of those whose duty it is to provide the nation against the recurrence of such a catastrophe as the Mississippi flood, that we are driven to speak. The white man knows, and every American citizen must realize that we have accustomed ourselves to a style of eating and a volume and variety of food not equaled anywhere on this earth. Business men know that we could not maintain that standard but for the productivity of the land in the Mississippi valley and the cheap labor of the Negro. Manufacturers understand that the nearness to the manufacturing centers of the Mississippi and its tributaries, together with the cheap and convenient transportation to all the world supplied by that great water highway, makes the great interior of America and thus all of it unusually prosperous. Anything that interferes with the conditions along the Mississippi and anything that may be done to improve those conditions, affect the economic stream and its complexity in all America. Real flood control would not only seek to control the waters along the river, making them available for the soil and river bed, subject to man's plans, but it would supply agricultural and cultural leadership among the Negroes who live in that section without whom the mere control of the waters will not preserve or increase the prosperity of the region. Real flood control would establish an agricultural and technical West Point for Negroes who would enter for training by way of the state agricultural colleges. "The greatest political economy is the care and culture of men," and no amount of rip rap and concrete will make the waters of the Mississippi produce the goods which result in American wealth. The most disastrous flood is the flow of Negro labor out of the Mississippi Valley region. KAPPA ALPHA PSI That men who have enjoyed the advantages of contact with life and the culture of the ages, should pause to consider those who are on the threshold, is worthy of the highest commendation. All too often, those who have been more fortunate than the mass of men, regard themselves as "different," and develop into a mutual admiration society rather than plan to lift as they rise. There is intelligent selfishness in the "Guide Right Movement." It inspires and directs succeeding generations to seek the esteem of their fellows, than which there is no higher earthly pleasure and it assures a continuation of the labors and efforts of the pioneers. Youth is peculiarly susceptible to high ideals. Uninfluenced by ambitions placed graphically before them, they are left to their vague dreams and upsurging emotions. They are imitative and it pays quick and big dividends to place before them older men who have won place and distinction by service.

One of the distressing results of illiteracy and of all academic education which reviews the past while neglecting the present, is the failure to appreciate the operation of the "Rules of the American Game." This nation, evolved first out of thirteen original, independent, sovereign states, changed into the first government in the world to be established by the sovereignty of the people under a written Constitution. The Union thus brought into existence, fought its way into favor against the opposition of the former independent states, and restricted by the first ten amendments to the Constitution which specifically reserved the fundamental rights of the people. Under this and all other governments, the general welfare is in the keeping of that majority which is active in electing officials and making laws, and the legal fiction of "police power" may be raised to support any protection against things which threaten that general welfare. Fire, crime, disorder, conspiracy, contagious disease, uneconomic business practices, nuisances, may be shown to threaten the general welfare, and thus give rise to the right of the state machinery to suppress them by law and its administration. Jim Crow laws, segregated conditions of all sorts, have been maintained by means of that legal fiction, the police power; they can be altered only by creating a larger majority to control the making of the laws by choosing officials and judges who will properly and fairly execute the laws when made, and by being chosen as those officials. Not until a people recognizes distinctly just what threatens the general welfare—economic, political, civic and social—and intelligently moves to create public opinion to support their contention, shall they play the game according to the rules governing American institutions. THE GENTLEMAN FROM ILLINOIS In the mutation of events, Illinois, one of the five states carved out of the old Northwest Territory, and organized under the Northwest Ordinance in 1787, by men who put into law the idealism of the Declaration of Independence, has developed the metropolis of the great American center, Chicago, with the most forward surging group of people of color. Growing, spreading, expanding, disregarding precedent, rioting, giving with profile charity, manufacturing, shipping, selling, touching the whole world yet keeping its identity, falling victim to its haste and youth, yet purging itself through its democracy and civic pride, Chicago is to decree a Negro to be one of its representatives in Congress. That all men are created equal, under the principles of the American government, has not only been demonstrated in Chicago, but it is to be declared in no uncertain terms in the American Congress and to the world. Under the operation of the political machine which he has helped to build and to maintain, Oscar DePriest has been put forward to carry the honor. If, as seems likely, he is selected in November it will be a fitting reward for thirty years of service in one of the most difficult fields of American life. Men who have grown to manhood during the period of DePriest's labors, challenge his fitness for the post. They recite his mistakes and his deficiencies. They would have an orator of splendid diction and pleasing presence, or a lawyer flush with academic polish, or a younger man who would express their own ambitions to enjoy rewards not won by sacrificial and proven services with all the attendant adjustments. We do not presume to advise Chicago as to its choice of a representative, but we must call attention to the fact that American politics is a game demanding seasoned players who have served an apprenticeship in the minor phases of party activities, and that in the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

"The gentleman from Illinois" will in reality be a congressman at large from the whole national Afro-American constituency, and to accomplish anything worth while for such a group needing so much at the hands of the federal government, that man must be in reality a gentleman from Illinois and must work in perfect harmony with the machine of the party in power.

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 slander 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. OUR BEST FRIEND Who is it who gladly nurses us when we are sick? Who laughs with us when we are well and happy? Who patiently sacrifices for our welfare? Who willingly shares everything with us? Who advises us wisely when we are in doubt? Who offers shelter when everything seems against us? It is our best friend—Mother. In order that we can show to Mother in some way our appreciation of her many kind deeds, one Sunday in every year is set aside for that purpose. That day happens to fall on May thirteenth of this year, just at the time when all nature is in bloom. Fortunate are those who can gather flowers to present to Mother—for what is more beautiful than fresh flowers? One might even liken a Mother's love to a delicate rose so pure and beautiful is it. Where it is impossible to either buy or gather flowers for Mother, one can present a box of candy to her. If candy cannot be purchased, a card with a bit of verse on it will suffice. Even a word or deed is enough to show our esteem to Mother. Do not, however, forget May thirteenth entirely. Though one day in every year is set aside for the benefit of Mother, that could never make up to her for what she does for us. Why not let us make every day Mother's Day! Some little deed, a word, a thought will make this possible. No doubt you have all read the words of Lincoln, that noble man, "All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my Mother." His is a splendid example of cherishing and valuing a Mother's love. Perhaps we, too, as we rise higher in life will be able to repeat those same words. Personally, I owe my progress this far to my own dear Mother. As Mother's Day draws near, let us again realize that not only one day but every day is Mother's Day. Don't Say Nigger THE TWELVE GREATEST NEGROES? Dear Editor: I want to see whether any other Tribunites think as I do. I think that Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Crispus Attucks, Ira Aldridge, Bishop Richard Allen, Benjamin Banneker, Paul Cuffee, Alexander Dumas, Roland Hayes, Toussaint L'Overture and Alexander Pushkin are the twelve greatest Negroes of all times. If there are any Tribunites who differ with me, I would like for them to send in a list to the Corner. Dear Editor: That was a fine idea that you had last week concerning the Mother's Day sayings. I also favor the idea of Tribunites writing and telling us of their pets. I would like to see some pictures in the Corner, and also a few good funny jokes. I have been a reader of the Kiddies' Corner for a long while, but this is my first time to write. I am seventeen years old, so that is why I can't take part in the activities of the Corner. I am sorry that I failed to write when I was younger, but this one letter is better than none at all--don't you think? I hope to continue to read the Kiddies' Corner for a long while to come. Dear Editor: Now that giving suggestions seem to be in order, how about having some old Tribuites write to the Kiddies' Corner and tell us what they are doing. I guess some are in college while others are in business. A line or two from them would be interesting, and perhaps would prove bits of encouragement to us. If any ex-Tribuites should read this, please write letters to our editor and let us know what you are doing. I thank you. AUDREY'S BIRTHDAY Audrey Newson celebrated her seventh birthday, Sunday, May 6, from 4 to 6 p.m., at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Sara Newsome Fraction, 1414 Twelfth street, northwest. Cake, candy and ice cream were served. Each little guest was given a green or yellow balloon as a favor. A number of Audrey's relatives, with their little friends, came over from Baltimore to the party. Audrey was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts. "Mother of mine, I think of you, and the first red flowers will be for you on Mother's Day"—Alma Lenwood (?), 4617 Sheriff road, northeast. "Mother of mine, we love you dearly every day because—well just because you are Mother."—George and Ronde--- Savoy, £2 Quincy place, northwest. CAVALRY CAPTURES FLEET Dear Editor: Doesn't it seem strange to say that a cavalry captured a fleet? Well it has been done, according to "The Path-finder." "To me the sweetest piece of humanity God has ever made—is Mother."—Mildred Phillips (15), 2223 Flagler place, northwest. The cavalry captured a fleet during the French revolutionary war in the Netherlands. In 1794 General Charles Pichegru took command of the northern French army operating against the English and Austrians. He invaded the low countries in the winter when traveling was easy because of the thick ice which had formed over the rivers and bays. The Dutch fleet was then frozen in the ice near the Helder, opposite the island of Texel. Pichegru's Hussars—a cavalry unit—rode out of the ice and captured the entire fleet. The Honor Roll In addition to the ten children above, the following are placed on the Honor Roll: Melvin Niles, Mary A. B. Logan, Beatrice C. Smallwood, Roscoe M. Teenan, Joseph Dixon, Beatrice S. Coombs, Laurabelle A. Jackson, James E. Webster, Amanda Webster, Bessie L. M. Coombs, Lella O. Butler, Mayne Davis, Fannette G. Davis, Julius N. Davis, Lorenza Cheatman, Ellis M. Franklin, Berman Curtis, Robert L. Holland, Aurelia G. Brown, Charles M. Thomas, Edna M. Dabney, Carol Walker, Clarence M. Frazier, William O. Creditt. Clarice M. Harris (13) Don't Say Nigger MOTHER OF MINE We are publishing here the first ten appreciations sent in by Tribunites to their mothers.

C Hopkins Measure lard by filling cup partially with water, then adding butter. "There's no one else like you, Mother. God bless you, for there's no one else in all the world like you"—Gloria (Age 6), 766 Fairmont St., N.W. Use pastry floor if possible. Sift flour before measuring. Measure sugar, flour, salt and baking powder level in spoons and cuns. "There is one thing you all should do Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. That is love your mother who first loved you: Stir sugar into butter a little at a time, mixing or creaming until very light. You can't repay her—that's all very, true. Add egg yolks whole or beaten. Stir in alternately the liquid and the sifted flour mixtures. But show your appreciation to her for what she did, for you." Add flavoring. Naomi Gray (13), 1025 21st St., N.W. Fold the beaten egg whites in gently until thoroughly incorporated. "Mother of mine, Sunday is the day for all children to pay tribute to their mothers. I hope, mother, that you will enjoy the day."—Eleanora Blackwell (12), 62 Bruce avenue, Garfield, D.C. Pour into greased pans and bake immediately. Layer cake should be baked in a moderately hot oven, 375 degrees F. Cake is surely done when it starts to shrink from the sides of the pan. "Mother of mine, I am sending best wishes of cheer to bring joy and delight to the heart of hearts—you, on this dearest of days in the year." -Gladys Magruder (16), 515 21st street, northwest. Whole Egg Cake One-third cup butter, three-fourth cup sugar, 2 eggs, one-half cup milk, 1 and one-half cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla. "Mother is my best friend, and there aren't any more like her."—Preston Moore (16), 523 3rd street northwest. Blend butter thoroughly with sugar. Stir in yolks of eggs. Add milk alternately with sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Add vanilla. Fold in egg whites, beaten stiff but not dry. Pour into two well-greased layer pans. Bake in a moderately hot oven, (375 degrees F.) Ice with any desired icing, or serve with raspberry jam between layers, and powdered sugar or whipped cream on top. "Mother of mine, as in the days of old, You are blessed ten thousand fold." Laurence Fells (13) 631 Morton St., N.W. "Mother of mine, I must remember that though youth may fade, sorrows darken, and friendships fall; a Mother's love outlives them all."—Alma Reynolds (13), 1001 6th street, northeast. This will make a two-layer cake (8 inches). Put Your Winter Things Away in Peoples Cedarized Garment Bags PEOPLES FEDERAL MILITARY MUSEUM Dust proof . . .

The Anti-Lynching Bill ‘When a demand was made by Negro political elubs of New York, Boston and Chicago for passage of an anti-lynehing bill, he said, Governor Smith and "Tammany Democrats were appealed to in vain. Not a Tammany Democrat, he declared, voted with. southern Democrats against the anti-lynch- ing bill. He quoted from an article ir the Manufacturers Record in hich a newspaper man said that he recently visited three public dance halls in New ‘York City and saw “Negro men dancing — with white women and white men danc- ing with Negro women, and that they were conversing and carry- ing on in the most intimate and hilarious fashion.” “Ig Tammany permits - such scenes in a city and.State which it controls, will similar scenes be- come national if the Presidency is turned over to ‘Tammany and one of its proteges and products?” he asked.

At the same hour that the Ne- gro girls were refused admission to the automobile mechanics day school at Armstrong, one of the members of the group telephoned to Central High School (with oth- ers of the group listening in) mere- ly for tho purpose of procuring evidence that the white girls were being instructed in automobile me- chanics. ‘The following information was given: Females are given instruc- tion in automobile mechanics at fhe Central High School the frst two periods on Tuesday, Wednes- day and Friday.

SEEKS VIEWS OF PRES; Presidential candidates of both the Republican and Democratic parties were asked to state their attitude toward enforcement of the feurteenth and fifteenth amend- mens to the Federal Constitution in a letter addressed to them, Mon- day, by Representative George Holden Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts. “Do you favor the enforcement of the mandatory provision con- tained in the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution that there shall be a reduction of representa- tion in the House of Representa- tives and in the electoral college in proportion to the disfranchisement which exists in certain states of the Union?” he asked. Representative Tinkham directed ‘their attention to the fact that the fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments are nullified in many states and that Congress has not taken action to enforce them.

Unconstitutional “Unconstitutional tenure of of- fice and go elections,” he said, “strike at the very heart of the moral sanction behind laws and ex- ecutive acts.” ‘The nullification of these amend- ments, Mr. Tinkham pointed out, “gives unequal political power to the disfranchising states, whieh count all citizens for purposes ——e and then disfran- ise many of them. This impairs the political rights of every other state and of every voter in every other state. “This issue, in all its nakedness,” he stated, “is whether there shall be constitutional government in the ‘United States and enforcement of ‘constitutional provisions, —_ and Whether the government. as it now ‘exists shall be a legitimate and honest one.” Representative Tinkham _ad- dressed his question to Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, for- mer Governor Frank 0.

The text of his cable is as follows: "Customs revenues continue satisfactory, while the surplus of government receipts over expenditures in March amounted to some $497,800. Government cash reserves rose to approximately $3,196,200, the largest in the history of Haiti, while the public debt has declined to about $15,883,000, the lowest price since the establishment of the office of the Financial Adviser and Receiver General. According to the report of the Receiver General the good revenues and strong position of the Treasury should permit further expenditures for construction and productive purposes."

FRIDAY. MAY 11. 1928 WEEKLY SERMON "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." Matt. 5:5. When Christ began his ministry, it was a well established tradition that both, the earth and the kingdom of heaven, belonged to the rich, powerful and the no- JOHN B. BROWN Rev. CLARENCE LEROI MITCH-ell, student School of Religion of Howard University, presents this week's sermon. bles. They ruled the earth, it is true, and the logical conclusion would be that they should inherit the kingdom of heaven. The meek were, therefore, left without anything to possess. The meek would become servants of the rich, or perish, as it were, at the hands of the powerful. Christ began at once to break down this tradition by saying that the meek shall inherit the earth. I think there is nothing more profoundly true than this; that physical force is only temporary, but that dynamic force that comes from God, which is characteristic of meekness, is permanent. It is by the application of the latter that the meek shall come in possession of the earth. Even before the great Julius Caesar extended his rule to the utmost parts of the civilized world, we have examples of peoples who oppressed the meek. These suf- weeks, reaching important groups and organizations, as follows: On Sunday, March 4, he addressed the Y. Forum at Youngtown, Ohio, under the auspices of the Interracial Committee of that city. On Sunday, March 11, he spoke at Ford Hall Forum, Boston, and on Monday, March 12, he was the guest of the Congregational Club of New York City. On March 18, he spoke at the First Congregational Club of New York City. On March 18, he spoke at the First Congregational Church, Washington, D. C., in connection with Harmon Awards to Dr. J. H. Dillard and Julius Rosenwald. On March 22, he addressed the Educational Mass Meeting at Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., sponsored by the Fraternal Organization of Colored Elks. On April 5, he represented Howard University at Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N. C., in connection with testimonial given Bishop Thirkield, former president of Howard University. On April 19, he spoke on the occasion of the Annual Men's Dinner of the Y. M. C. A., Rochester, N. Y. On April 25, he delivered the annual commencement address at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. and on May 1, he was the guest of North Jersey Alumni Association of Howard University at Elizabeth, New Jersey. DRIVER OF DEATH TRUCK RELEASED A verdict of "unavoidable accident" was returned by a coroner's jury at an inquest into the death of Thomas Harling, 14 years old, who was killed when run over, Monday evening, by a truck on Bladensburg Road. The verdict removed all blame from Boyd Hallslip, white, 1314 Fourteenth street, northwest, the driver of the truck. Chris Harris and Samuel Butler, colored laborers, who were riding on the truck with Hallslip, testified that they did not see young Harling, who was riding a bicycle in the same direction as that which the truck was traveling, except when they passed him quite some distance from where the accident occurred. Richard Green, a third laborer who was also riding with Haililip, declared that the boy was "hitching on" the rear of the truck and was knocked down when the car made a right turn into Mt. Olivet road. The testimony of William J. Henry, who was walking north on Bladensburg road and who said he was not more than 15 feet from the scene at the time of the accident, conflicted with that of Green, who preceded him on the witness stand. Harling, he declared, was not hanging on the rear of the truck. He further declared that neither the boy nor the truck was traveling at an excessive rate of speed. The right rear wheel of the truck, which is a five-ton vehicle, owned by the Georgetown Gas Light Co.,spassed over the boy's body. He was rushed to Casualty Hospital in a passing auto and treated by Dr. C. P. Murphy. He died at 5 a. m., Tuesday. The lad is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Harling, and sevral brothers and sisters.

Even today, we find similar conditions existing in all parts of the world. There seems to be a universal feeling that the earth with all of its inexhaustable resources belongs to those who are able to purchase it with silver and gold, and with military force. Theoretically, the world, through its democracy and more essential ideals of Christianity, has eradicated those un-Christ-like practices. But in reality, it is fundamentally retracing the tracks of the world in the crudest age of civilization. It is true that history repeats itself. Alexander the Great conquered the world, but in a comparatively short time it was all a dream. Caesar died at the hands of his enemies, and his kingdom went to pieces. Napoleon, one of the greatest of all conquerors, died in shame and disgrace. Even in our own day, Germany, with all of her military power, sank down in morseful shame. It does seem to me that the day is approaching when the meek and humble in spirit shall have possession of, and rule the world. Riches and power must cease to dominate in a land where Christianity is taking its stand. Indeed, it must have been with elated hearts that the common people of Palestine received this message of promise coming from our Lord and Master. We, too, the meek and lowly, must gradually, but positively, rise up in the power of Christ if Christianity is to be permanently established in the hearts of the people. We must fight, but not with sword and ammunition. We must fight with that dynamic force of Jesus Christ until we shall have subdued our enemies. Herbert Spencer once said, "In a supremacy of self-control consists one of the perfections of the ideal man." I think it is, indeed, that ideal man who fights not with guns who conquers most assuredly, but with prayer and endurance he fights to win. Finally, if we would inherit the earth, we must remember that physical force is only temporary, and that our strength must come from God. Let us with patience and fortitude strive for righteousness and brotherhood, fighting and persuading until the victory is won. Then shall the meek inherit the earth; for the meek shall own the earth. MILLS ASKED TO REPLY ON TREAS. SEGREGATION A definite statement by Ogden L. Mills, Under-Secretary of the Treasury, on the segregation of colored employees in the Treasury Department is requested in a letter sent under the leadership of Neval H. Thomas and Archibald Pinkett, president and secretary respectively for the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Robert J. Nelson for the Elks, and Thomas A. Johnson for the National Equal Rights League. The letter to Mr. Mills in full is as follows: "We have the honor of asking you for the results of your investigations in your vast department, and your future policy dealing with your colored employees. It has been three months since we first called on you at the Treasury Department. Since then we have MILK COUNTY EXCAVATIONS ON THE NEW HOME of Thurston's Cafeteria at 1933 Ninth street, northwest, have been completed. Watch for the opening of Washington's most beautiful place to dine. John H. Thurston, proprietor.—Adv. had two lengthy interviews with you, and paid five additional visits to see you without success. In the meantime, we have had no word from you as to your disposition of our case. We, therefore, take this means of contact. Undemocratic Practice "You will remember that we complained about segregation first, and informed you of the immense injury the undemocratic practice is doing our people, the government service, and the Constitution itself. We pointed out the Jim Crow section of the office of The Register of the Treasury where pernicious discrimination keeps superior Negro clerks in lower salary grades, in inferior work, and under constant humiliation of being huddled together on the basis of color. "Then, we told you of the office of the Treasurer of the United States where there are Mr. John T. Howe, ex-member of the Legislature of North Carolina, and five other competent Negro clerks of superior intelligence and long service, set off from their white coworkers, and retained in low salary grade and on the simple mechanical work of "stating accounts". White men whom they have taught have passed over them to higher placement, and even to the position of chiefs of departments. The Merit System "You spoke to us of the immensity of your department with its sixty-seven thousand employees. We held that the merit system cannot prevail there when, out of so vast an army being paid from all of the people, there is not one Negro in directive position. We know all too well of the superiority of the Negro clerk and that of all of the other colored employees, for white men of their calibre and attainment secure far more lucrative activities in the economic, civil and political life of the Nation. Hence, if the merit system prevailed in the Treasury department, or in any other of the many other bureaus of the nation and the municipality here at the Capital there would be thousands more Negro employees, and many of them holding important executive positions. "In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Government Printing Office, and in others of the thirty-odd huge establishments that come under your jurisdiction the same complaints can be justly made. We, therefore, respectfully ask that you make us reply—belated, if you please—to our complaints." FIVE URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS UNEMPLOYMENT LESS URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS UNEMPLOYMENT LESS The National Urban League, through its Department of Industrial Relations, of which T. Arnold Hill is director, reports as follows on industrial changes during the month of March: Though unemployment is still abnormal the month of March witnessed the beginning of a gradual change for the better in the general unemployment situation which had been said to be the worst since 1921. As a consequence the employment situation among Negroes which in the main follows the general trend for the country, is showing signs of improvement. Negroes are not returning to the jobs that have been taken over by whites but the shift from colored to white labor began to slow up during the latter part of March. Conditions in Winston-Salem apparently grew worse and from there it was reported: "there are more Negroes unemployed in the city of Winston-Salm during the month of March than has been in ten years." Cleveland and Detroit show considerable gain among Negroes. Harrisburg and Springfield, Ill., which have consistently reported unemployment unchanged, showed a marked improvement in March. Remarkable Advancement The most outstanding achievement came from Chicago where the South Center Department Store has provided employment for 35 colored men and women out of a total force of 100. Negroes are occupying positions as saleswomen, clerks in the office, receiving clerks, switch board operator, assistant to the manager and assistant window trimmer. The store is located in a district accessible to both white and Negro patrons. Chicago also reports two oil stations in charge of colored men. This is the first time that the company owning them has made use of colored help in this capacity in Chicago. A large nationally known drug store corporation has almost a complete Negro force including pharmacist, clerks, and cashier. This revives a practice which the same company abandoned some years ago.

Oklahoma City, Okla. a nearby meat market at about 11:30 a.m. His suspicions, however, were not aroused. He told police that he had not been in the store long before a strange man, believed by police to be one of the two, appeared at his back door. Mr. Brown said the man at the rear of the house asked to be allowed to clean the yard for the small sum of a dollar, but the proprietor of the store refused. Rifles Cash Register The man departed, Mr. Brown said, and he returned to the front of the establishment. A short time later a customer entered and made a purchase, and when Mr. Brown went to his cash register to make change, he found that the drawer had been emptied. The men whom he had seen in front of the building as well as the man who appeared at the rear door had disappeared. Police are of two opinions either that the man at the rear door simply served as a decoy while his companion in the front pulled the "hold-uless" robbery, or that one of the two men who on two occasions while Mr. Brown was at the market had been found standing in the store by Mrs. Brown, the proprietor's wife, who during her husband's absence was busy in the rear. Each time, she said, the man asked for something they do not handle. The cash register in the Brown's store can be opened without the usual ringing sound, according to Mr. Brown, making it decidedly easy to open without being detected. HEFLIN RAVES IN SENATE AGAINST GOV. AL SMITH HEFLIN RAVES IN SENATE AGAINST GOV. AL SMITH Continuing his attacks on the Catholic Church and Governor Alfred E. Smith in the Senate last Tuesday, Senator Thomas J. Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama, repeated his criticisms of the New York governor because of racial equality in New York city and the support of the Dyer anti-lynching bill by Tammany Democrats in Congress. Heflin charged that the "social equality ideas" of Governor Smith are hurtful in the South. Dance halls in New York City where Negro men dance with white women, Heflin said, "present a mean and contemptible form of social equality." The effort of Governor Smith to have the anti-lynching bill passed when Democrats from Tammany would not vote with southern Democrats in the House against the measure, Heflin asserted, "was putting a premium on the crime of rape, and sowing dragon's teeth in the paths of white women in the South and in other sections of the country." Replying to the diatribe of Heflin, Senator William C. Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, declared that he was beginning to believe that the abusive allegations of the Alabaman were the fictions of an almost "deranged intellect." BLEASE OBJECTS TO HOWARD UNI. BILL Senator Coleman T. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, last Tuesday, objected to the consideration by unanimous consent of the bill to authorize annual appropriations for Howard University. An appeal to Blease by Senator Royal S. Copeland, Democrat, of New York, to withdraw his objection had no effect. "I wish the Senator might find it in his heart to consent to the passage of this bill," said Senator Copeland. Blease replied that if Congress will give to the Negro colleges in South Carolina the same amount of money it gives to Howard University, he would agree to it. Blease named particularly Clafin College at Orangeburg, Allen University and Benedict College at Columbia, and the South Carolina State Normal, Industrial and Agricultural college also at Orangeburg. Bleased declared that he would never consent to the people of his state paying a 3-mill constitutional tax to educate colored people and then vote to give away "the money of my people to other states that do not do anything to try to help their colored people. We are educating ours," he said. "We are taking care of them, and we are keeping them in their places by that education." THE BLIND GIVES PROGRAM An association for the blind of which Charles Churchwill is one of the leaders, had charge of the program during the Eworth League hour at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, last Sunday. With three exceptions, all participants on the program were blind. Mr Churchwill was master of ceremonies. A blind man read the scripture lesson; a blind orchestra played and a blind quartette sang. A large crowd was present and many marveled at the ability displayed by those who could not see. Among the blind who took part on the program were: Miss Florence Forrest, Miss Annie Mundy, James E. Matthews, G. C. Glover, John Banks, William Brown, Chas Churchwill, Charles Johnson and E. Groom. SAMUEL TAYLOP DIES; FRATERNAL WORKER Funeral services for Samuel W.

Medford, pastor, officiating. Mr. Taylor died at Garfield Hospital at 2:30 o'clock last Thursday morning following an illness of less than a week. He was 47 years of age. Mr. Taylor was well known as a fraternal man, holding memberships in the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, the Free Ancient and Accepted Masons, the Jonathan Davis Consistory and the Order of the Eastern Star. He is survived by his widow Pearl Taylor, his mother, Sophia Taylor, a daughter, Sophronia, and a brother, Leon Taylor. ISSUES CALL FOR CITIZENS MILITARY CAMP Lieutenant Frederick L. Slade, of 125 Sixteenth street, northeast, is making an effort to get a large enrollment for the Citizens' Military Training Camp for this summer. Already, according to Mr. Slade, over 100 men have signified their intention of going to camp. He has issued an appeal to all men who desire to take advantage of the Government's liberal offer to get in touch with him. Since the inauguration of these camps, thousands of men all over the country have taken advantage of them. Mr. Slade stated that these camps not only afford an opportunity to get military training, but gives the man a wonderful vacation out in the open air. Each year these camps are opened for American citizens, there being camps for white citizens and other camps for Negroes. BUSINESS IS GOOD!

DENY WOMAN WAS SHOT BECAUSE OF OTHER MAN DENY WOMAN WAS SHOT BECAUSE OF OTHER MAN The family of Mrs. Callie Jones, who was shot and seriously wounded by her husband, Randolph last Thursday morning, told a Tribune reporter, Tuesday that the statement Jones made to police following the shooting was misleading. Jones told Policeman G. D. Austin of the Second precinct that he suspected his wife of relationship with other men, and that he had told Mrs. Jones of his suspicions. She, however, he declared, paid no heed to his request that she stop. Mrs. Jones, the reporter was told, was caring for a 15-year-old sister and an 11-year-old brother, to which 1er husband raised strenuous protests. He, it was declared, demanded that the children be sent away from their house. The wife refused saying that such was not humanely possible.

EARLE RELEASED; WOMAN FAILS TO REMEMBER ASSAULT When Anna Pierce, 23-year-old white woman, told Assistant United States Attorney Ralph Given, last Friday that she "did not remember" what happened on the night of Sunday, April 29, when she had had Isaiah Earle, janitor at 908 Fourteenth street, northwest, arrested on a charge of assault, the case was dropped and Earle was released from the District jail. The woman, whose disappearance shortly after the arrest of Earle had caused postponement of the preliminary hearing, was not located by police until late last week. Questioned by Mr. Given, she found it difficult to "remember" a story strong enough to convict the Negro. The arrest of Earle was brought about by a charge that he had lured the woman into the basement of the building and assaulted her. This story of Mrs. Pierce was corrobed by Eddie Tipton, proprietor of a cigar store in the building. Maintained Innocence Earle, meanwhile in the confines of his cell at the jail, maintained that the charge was a frame-up. He said he felt that someone at the building was not fond of his presence, and that he was framed in an effort by them to get rid of him. The act resulted in the nearest approach to mob violence since the race riot of 9 years ago. A crowd of nearly 200 persons threatened Earle with bodily harm when he was brought to the front of the building following his arrest. Earle was released last Saturday. He did not apply for reinstatement as janitor with the Wardman Company, for whom he worked as janitor at the time of the woman's charge.

Md.-Falling short in their ninth inning rally, the Columbia Cubs lost their opening game in the Washington Tribune Baseball League to the Forestville A. C., here last Sunday. The score was 8-7. Helmons on the hill for the Marylanders breezed along in fine style until the 3-run bid for victory the visitors launched in the final stanza. The Forestville hurler fanned 17 Cub batters.

C.—The opening game of the Tribune League played here last Sunday went to the Washington Pirates when they defeated the Brookland Giants by the score of 5-3. The contest was one of the best played on opening day, developing from the start into a pitcher's battle between Grinnell and Henry. The former held the Brooklanders to 7 well scattered hits while the latter was decidedly stingy with the 9 he allowed. A 3-run rally in the ninth frame brought the Pirates from behind and placed them among other winners of the circuits' first day.

TRIBUNE LEAGUE TO SETTLE QUESTION OF FRANCHISE There will be a very important meeting of the Washington Tribune Baseball League, at 920 U street, northwest, on next Monday night at sharp 6:30 p.m. Every manager is urged to be present and prompt. This meeting involves the controversy of two teams relative to their franchise in the Tribune League. WASHINGTON BLACK SOX TROUNCE CUBAN GIANTS Simeon Sheffield's Washington Black Sox experienced very little opposition in their 15-6 defeat of the Brooklyn Cuban Giants, in their formal debut for the 1928 season, at Union League Park, last Sunday afternoon. Spike Bland, Lefty George Smith and Jimmie Williams, alternating on the mound for the locals found the alien batters easy to contend with. The Black Sox hitters, on the other hand, worked over time pounding the pill to every corner of the lot.

DABNEY LEADS TECHITES WITH THE WILLOW DABNEY LEADS TECHITES WITH THE WILLOW Red Dabney, veteran sun sfelder of the Armstrong High School baseball team, leads the squad in batting for the first five games of the season according to averages released by Cato W. Adams, Tech coach this week. Clouting the horse-hide for a swatting percentage of .471 at the venerable Red shows the way to all his teammates. Charlie Henderson, younger brother of Slim Henderson, all-round athlete at Virginia Seminary and former Armstrong baseball player, follows Dabney.

Nearly 3000 persons were on hand under a hazy sky when the strong and widely known Le Droit Tigers first conquered and were then conquered in the 1928 season's first twin bill in Washington Giants, the Le Droits returned for their clash with the Oriental Tigers fully confident and with much vigor. Their confidence was found, however, to be misplaced as the "Prides of the Point" and 1927 District semi-professional champions won a 4-0 shutout.

Va.—The seventh annual Intercollegiate Track and Field Meet sanctioned by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, who are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, will tip off at 12:30 o'clock, Saturday, May 12, on Armstrong Field. There is little doubt that the meet will far surpass those of previous years. More athletes are expected to be present, more trophies are being offered, and more events have been added. The crowning events of the afternoon will more than likely be the relays. Lincoln and Union are sending fast relay teams to offer competition to the foursome representing Hampton. Howard P. Drew, one of the joint holders of the world's record for the 100-yard dash, will probably be the starter for the day. Lincoln's entries arrived early in the week. The list is long. Lincoln is going to try hard to win the meet, but in winning she realizes that Hampton's quartet of Records Fall Institute T TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. May 10 (Special).—With ideal weather conditions and a track that seemed to contain steel springs, relay records fell here last Saturday. Tuskegee won the first leg on the massive Liberty Life Insurance Company Trophy. This beautiful challenge trophy must be won three times in order to secure permanent possession. Hampton's great quartet of sprinters won the Sprint Medley relay for the A. G. Dobins' Trophy and won the first leg on the John H. Webb Trophy in the one-mile relay. The Sprint Medley was run in two sections, comparative time deciding the winners. Tuskegee was a close second with Claflin third. In the mile relay, Tuskegee forced Hampton to break the relays record. It was mainly through the great anchor quarter turned in by Captain Baldwin of the Hampton team that pushed the Blue and White out in front. Baldwin was clocked unofficially in 50 flat. Tuskegee carried off the half-mile College Relay Championship of America with Atlanta University second and Fort Valley Normal third. This was run in two heats, the Tigers taking the first in 1:37.4 sec. and Atlanta University taking the second in 1:38.4 sec. Quarter Mile Tuskegee won the quarter-mile college relay with Atlanta University second and Claflin third. This was also run in heats. Tuskegee won the first heat in 45.3 sec. Clark University finished first in the second heat but was disqualified for passing the Baton on foul territory. The four-mile College Relay Championship for the Willis I. Peek Trophy went to Tuskegee. The team composed of C. Wylie, P. Wylie, Herron and Hanna fin- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1928 FLOWERS ADDS ANOTHER TO LONG LIST OF VICTIMS NEW YORK.-Sid Barbarian, white, Detroit battler, was added to the long list of Bruce Flowers' victims, here last Monday night. The hardy Armenian, though he stuck to the task in spite of Flowers' relentless punching, came out of the fight very much battered. The New Rochelle lad stood back and pounded his adversary with ripping rights and see-saw lefth which completely bewildered the Barbarian. The latter, in spite of his great experience gained in ten years of fighting, looked to be very much outclassed in his match with the Negro lightweight. INTERCLASS MEET AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY On Saturday, May 12, at 10 o'clock, an Inter-Class Meet will be held in the Howard University Stadium. There will be many feature races on the program. "Dark Horse" Mack and "Bill" Walker will hook up in an exhibition 175-yard dash. There will also be a two-mile steeple chase. Something new will be introduced in track events; the decathlon, featuring Earl Gaunt, "Buck" Smith, "Bob" Hainsworth, "Pete" Tyson, "Bobo' Miller, "Jimmy" Manigaulte and Frank Thorne. 440 men will have to be contended with. The meet will be minus many of the old stars, but their enviable records cannot be ignored. The records of the once famous distance runner, Robert A. Coles, will be hard to beat. Also the three records of W. Cook of Union University, held in the 100, 220, and 400 dashes, will not have a defender. The half-mile run will also have many new competing athletes for the gentleman who holds that record has given one of the finest trophies of the meet. In the scholastic division, Richardson of Dunbar has given some records that have stood the test of time. His performance in the 100-yard dash was done in 9 9-10, and the 220-yard dash was done in 22 seconds. Bulldog Williams, record holder in the high hurdles, and William McK. King, record holder in the low hurdles, will be present to defend their titles. in Tuskegee Track Meet ished a lap and a half ahead of the field. James Boss brought a great half mile team to the relays from Howard Academy, Ocola, Florida and stepped away with the High school half-mile relay after a great struggle all the way with Paine High School. It was mainly through the running of Washington, anchor man, that Ocola won. Veorhees took the lead in the Medley High School relay and was never headed, winning the event handily. Voorhees also made a runaway out of the two-mile high school relay. Jenkins went into the lead and Bailey, Gondlock and Robinson continued to pull away from the field. Collins Wins Again Collins of Fort Valley Normal, last year's winner of the 100-yd. dash again won this event from a classy field. In winning he set a new record of 9.8 sec. Lewis of State Normal was second and Robinson of Wilberforce was third. Robinson and Moore of Wilberforce were delayed and did not reach Tuskegee until noon the day of the relays. They were not in the best of condition being travel weary. Roberts of Clark won the broad jump with a leap of 21 ft. 7 and 1-4 in., a new record. Tadlock of Tuskegee won the discus throw with a heave of 114 ft. 5 and 1-2 in., a new record. Hall of State Normal heaved the javelin 143 ft. 10 in. to win first place. Randolph of Tuskegee leaped the high hurdles in the good time of 17 and 1-2 sec. with E. Baker of Clark second and Simmons of Talladega third. Baker Wins Pole Vault E.

Though put out of the running early in the 1927 season, the Columbia Cub baseball team, of the Washington Tribune Baseball League Class A, promises to be troublesome to their opponents during the coming season. The Cubs are stronger in every particular, and their roster of twenty-one members shows comparative strength in all positions.

STAR TO RUN, AT HOWARD MEET William Butler, stellar track athlete at Geneva College, Beaver, Pa, who has made a number of records in the sprints and 440-yd. race, will be an attraction at the Howard National Open Championships, Howard University Stadium, Wednesday, May 30. Butler's coach, "Bo" McMillan, is now grooming this star for the Olympic try-outs to be held in Boston in June. Butler has done the 440 in 48 seconds flat, which means that, if he can duplicate this performance, or turn in a quarter in less than 49, he will make the Olympic team. The Howard management has now secured two outstanding colored runners for the National Open Championships, Phil Edwards of New York University, who has been rated by the Associated Press as the outstanding half-miler of the country, and Butler of Geneva College, who is easily the best quarter-miler in the state of Pennsylvania. It has not been determined whether Butler and Edwards will hook up in a 660, or whether they will run two distant races. If there are two distinct feature races, both of these stars will be pitted against lesser lights, who will be given liberal handicaps in order to extend them and give them a satisfactory test of their training and condition for the Olympic try-outs. The Howard squad is working hard to condition itself for this final test. An intramural meet, the Lincoln Dual Meet and the Lincoln Open Meet should furnish some excellent preliminary tests for the Howard meet.

THEATRICAL SUNDAY, May 13—Buzz Barton in "THE PINTO KID" Two Comedies EIGHT "THE ROSELAND REVUE" AT THE HOWARD THEATRE NEXT WEEK For the week beginning Monday matinee, May 14, at the Howard Theatre, the stage attraction will be "Roseland Revue" featuring the Pan-American Four, the quartette that has kept the patronage of Connie's Inn spellbound by their singing for the past three years. Dusty Fletcher and Andrew Tribble, who need no introduction to the Washington theatre-goers will be in the cast. There will also be seen the acrobats, the Gaines brothers. In the supporting cast there will appear Teresa Brooks, Alveta Brown, Frances Smith and Hampton and Nance. In addition to the cast mentioned above, thirteen other clever entertainers are there, most of whom are girls. The screen attraction for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be Laura La Plante. The story of "Finders Keepsers" is laid in a training camp during the time of the World War and concerns the love affair of the daughter of the Camp Commandant, who is in love with a private. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be seen Anna Q. Nillson in "The Masked Woman." This is a story that deals with Paris and Monte Carlo, which to the average American, are perhaps the most intriguing spots in Europe. Aside from the setting and costumes of the picture, there is vivid story interest in "The Masked Woman." It is the tale of an honrable woman who risks her husband's love and her reputation for the sake of an orphan asylum she is financing. Anna Q. Nillson plays the part of the wife. Einar Hanson is the husband, Holbrook Blinn the duke, Charlie Murray, Ruth Roland, and Gertrude Short round out the cast. On Friday night, the regular midnight ramble will be held. BERT LYTELL IN "ALIAS LONE WOLF" AT LINCOLN THEATRE NEXT WEEK Vividly intriguing and adequately mysterious, the "Lone Wolf," Louis Joseph Vance's debonair silk hat adventurer, again flashes his delightful ways across the silver sheet, in Columbia Pictures' mystery drama, "Alias the Lone Wolf," which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 13, 14, and 15. Bert Lytell, famous for the excellence of his previous portrayals of the "Lone Wolf" role is the star. "Alias the Lone Wolf" has been well cast. Lytell gives a notable performance in his newest role of the "Lone Wolf" that even surpasses his success in "The Lone Wolf Returns" of last season. Lois Wilson is charming in her part of the heroine, and makes an excellent foil for the debonair Lytell. Ned Sparks and Paulette Duval are convincing in their parts as heads of the crook gang. Brother love—a theme of universal appeal—provides the background for "The Forbidden Woman," Jetta Goudal's new Pathe-DeMille special star picture, which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre, Wednesday, and Thursday, May 16 and 17. Joseph Schildkraut plays opposite Miss Goudal. From actual prize ring history comes the opening incident of Warner Brothers' production of "One Round Hogan," starring Monte Blue and directed by Howard Bretherton, which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre, Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19. Monte is seen in the title role as an inspiring young heavyweight who was acquired the habit of knocking his opponents out in the first round. The opening scene shows him as a beginner knocked out by his ex-champ father who is teaching him all the tricks that brought him fame and fortune. James L. Jeffries appears in this role and vouchers for the fact that the same thing happened in the case of Bob Fitzsimmons and his son, Bob, Jr., now prominent in Eastern boxing circles. Leila Hyams, James L. Jeffries, Tom Gallery, Frank Hagney, Texas Kid and Abdul, the Turk, are in the cast. On Saturday, there will also be seen on the screen the Universal chapter play, "The Haunted Island," featuring Jack Daugherty. Opportunity contest at 9 p.m. "OLD IRONSIDES" ALL NEXT WEEK AT THE REPUBLIC Utica Jobilie Singers on the Vitaphone Direct from its 16-month engagement on Broadway at $2 top, "Old Ironsides," the historical and romantical spectacle comes to the Republic Theatre for a week's run starting Sunday, May 13, at regular prices. Two years were spent in making the picture and it has more than 2,000 in its cast. Six months were spent in selecting the cast for the picture before the first scene was filmed. And what a cast, George Bancroft, the star of "Underworld," Charles Furrell, the star of "7th Heaven," Wallace Beery, Esther Ralston and George Godfrey, colored heavyweight champion of the world, "Old Ironsides" is the stirring story of a great love, born amid the roar of cannon and the crash of warring ships. A great thrill. On the Vitaphone will be seen and heard the Utica Jubilee Singers, offering a program of Negro spirituals. The story of this group of singers, one of the most popular groups of colored singers in the world today, reads like a fairy tale. These young men, earnest, sincere, willing to do anything for their beloved school, have given up their time and energy for the advancement of their friends and comrades in that struggling Mississippi school, the Utica Institute. They all gave up trades or professions learned in their school to travel and sing in their mission for HOWARD THEATRE THIS WEEK UNTIL SUNDAY—BABE BROWN IN "MANDY GREEN FROM NEW ORLEANS" Big Midnight Ramble Friday Night, 12:15 Sharp funds for the Utica Institute. The Utica Jubilee Singers is composed of William Culver, bass; Ben Skinner, first tenor; Marshall Cole, second tenor; and George Wittington, baritone. Also, on the Vitaphone will be seen and heard Eddie Conrad, assisted by Marion Eddy, Broadway's favorite comedians, and "Realization," a one-act drama discussing the modern day divorce question. "CHICAGO" AT THE BROADWAY Sunday and Monday, the screen attraction will be "Chicago," with Phyllis Haver. The story deals with a vixen wife, who to satisfy her wild desires deceives her husband. When her "angel daddy" seeks to rid himself of the shackles with which she has enslaved him, she deliberately murders him. Roxie Hart plays the "Beautiful jazz slayer." For Tuesday only, the feature picture will be "Getting Gertie's Garter," with Marie Prevost. This is a hilarious comedy, the story of which can be summed up thus—a pretty maid, a jewelled garter, a broken engagement, and a jealous fiance. On Wednesday and Thursday, the screen attraction will be "Beyond London's Lights," with an all-star cast. The story deals with a young English country lass and her love for a gentleman far above her station. Thursday is talent night. Three cash prizes will be given away. Friday and Saturday, the feature picture will be "Her Secret Hour," with Pola Negri. The love psychology itself is comparatively simple, but is handled in a humanly understanding way by Pola Negri, the star. She is supported by Jean Hersholt and Kenneth Thompson. In certain respects, the treatment is a little daring, yet the story is one of tremendous heart interest that comes home to every girl who longs for romance, and to every man who dreams of having a wonderful wife. Country store will be held Saturday. Coming, May 27, 28, 29 and 30. "Thirty Years Later," with an allstar colored cast.

Perry Davidson as the Lord Chancellor, was especially pleasing in song and in action. Edward Medley was excellent in the role of peer and repeatedly drew forth applause by his mimicry of the Lord Chancellor. Alonzo Parks and John Blango gave good support as earls. Vincent Fagin as a grenadier guardman rendered favorably, "When All Night Long." Myrtle Davis as Phyllis, the Arcadian shepherd and Edward Martin as Strephan, an Arcadian shepherd, took well especially in the duet, "None Shall Part Us." Myrtle Davis possesses a voice of wide range and strength. Fairyland was made vivid by the graceful dancing and music of the faries and sprites. Important among the peers was Iolanthe, Strephan's mother, played by Sylvia Gordon. Irmajean Johnson as Queen of the Fairies, had all the appearance, bearing and manners of a royal fairy. Her voice was rich in tone and her enunciation was good. The principal, Miss Mineaal Kirkland, and the faculty of the Shaw Junior High School, particularly Mrs. F. H. Douglass and Mrs. L. H. Pack of the music department, Miss N. E. Sewell, who had charge of the scenery, and Joseph G. Logan, chairman of the committee of publicity and sales, made a success in producing Iolanthe. William Payne, a student of the Miner Normal School managed the lighting effects. Among the invited guests were Mrs. McNeill, member of the board of education; Dean and Mrs. George William Cook, Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, and party; G. Smith Wormley, principal of the Randall Junior High School; Mr. Baker, principal of the Langley Junior High School, and party; George Kirkland of California, brother of the principal of Shaw; Rev. Gaskins, president of the Shaw Parent-Teacher Association, and Mrs. Gaskins; Mrs. Clarke, vice-president of the Shaw Parent-Teacher Association and party. "DIOGENES LOOKS FOR A SEC RETARY" AT DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL The Business Department of Dunbar High School presented recently "Diogenes Looks for a Secretary." The cast was as follows: Spirit of Diogenes, Julia Young; The Boss, Rayfield Carey; Miss Devine, a stenographer, Marie Curtis; Miss Corliss, a stenographer, Edith Minor; The Office Boy, David Brown; Stacey Smith, a file clerk, Robert Crawford; First applicant, Marjorie McKinney; second applicant, Anna Watson; third applicant, Sophie Toliver; office girl, Marjorie Jones. The play showed, in a humorous way, the deficiencies of the "flapper" type of stenographer and presented some qualities desirable in an efficient secretary. Joseph Barnes was stage manager, and Miss J. E. Mustapha, the coach. Instrumental and vocal solos between the acts, by Thelma Grimes, Naomi Martin, and James Lee, completed the performance.

The trouble arose over the Sonny Clay Band, in Melbourne. The policemen in the theatrical section of the city stated that they had received complaints about white girls calling at the apartment occupied by the colored musicians. After observation, the police raided the apartment on a Sunday night. Upon entering they found white girls, nude, dancing or sitting with the colored men. The women were arrested as vagrants and released under bail. The Negroes were arrested. The daily press carried big scare headlines and aroused much sentiment against the musicians with the result that the government issued an order that no more labor permits will hereafter be granted to colored show people from abroad. Negro acts have been big drawing cards in Australia. It is believed that race prejudice is the real cause of the trouble, and the circumstances leading up to the raid was a prearranged frame-up.

WILSON TO APPLY FOR EX- ECUTIVE CLEMENCY President Coolidge will be asked to save Philip Jackson from the electric chair, Attorney John H. Wilson declared Tuesday. Jackson is due to die on May 15. The death warrant for his execution was sent to the District jail last Saturday. Mr. Wilson stated that he is preparing a petition for executive clemency. As soon as it is ready, he will take it to the District jail for Jackson's signature. It will then be forwarded to the Department of Justice for approval or disapproval by the Attorney General. Under the rules of the Department of Justice, the Attorney General will forward the position to acting United States Attorney Leo A. Rover for a recommendation. Mr. Rover is expected to recommend disapproval of the petition. No matter whether the Attorney General approves or disapproves the petition, it will be forwarded to the President. Final action in all capital cases is with the President. To Ask for Stay Immediately after the filing of the petition for executive clemency in the Department of Justice, Attorney Wilson plans to go into the District Supreme Court and ask for a further stay of execution for Jackson in order to give the President time to decide whether to commute Jackson's sentence to life imprisonment. The petition for executive clemency will be based upon the possible insanity of Jackson. Justice A. A. Hoehling refused to submit the question of Jackson's sanity to a jury. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia upheld his refusal, saying that he had acted within his discretion. Jackson is the offspring of an incestuous relation between a brother and a sister, according to affidavits filed at the time Justice Hoehling was asked to submit the question of Jackson's insanity to HAVE PURCHASED SEVEN AUTOMOBILES IN THE PAST PACKARD WASHINGTON Tungar Battery & Electric Station 701 R Street, N.W.
