Vol. VIII, No. 2 t FIRST in Advertising and Circulation DAVIS & HOWARD QUIZZED Senate Committee Probes Expenditures of Hoover Campaign Fund Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, and Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican national committeeman for Georgia, appeared before the Senate committee investir; the expenditure of campaign funds last Tuesday and told of their activities in behalf of the candidacy of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover. Mr. Howard stated that he first became interested in Mr. Hoover's candidacy in January, 1928. "I thought it good politics to support Hoover," he asserted. Walter M. Brown, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Howard said, told him that Rush L. Jolland, a former Assistant Attorney General, had been placed in charge of the Hoover campaign in southern states and that he would provide funds for operations in Mississippi. Mr. Howard said that Mr. Holland first gave him $1,000 to "carry on" as he thought best in Mississippi. Subsequently he received another $1,000. Mr. Holland also contributed $2,000 at the rate of $200 a week, which was distributed from headquarters in Washington. It was used principally in Mississippi. Mr. Howard stated. Another $1,000 Mr. Holland has promised to supply him with an additional $1,000. Mr. Howard said, but he was feel- (Continued on page 2) SENATE NAMES COM. TO PROBE OFFICE OF SALES Senators Smith W. Brookhart, of Iowa, and Tasker L. Oddie, of Nevada, Republicans, and Cyrus Locher, Democrat, of Ohio, have been named by Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, chairman of the Senate committee on post offices and post roads, as a subcommittee to conduct the Senate inquiry into charges of the sale of Federal patronage in southern states. This investigation will be made as the result of a resolution adopted by the Senate. The resolution was offered by Senators Walter F. George and William J. Harris, Democrats, of Georgia, after a Georgia postmaster had shot and killed his clerk and then committed suicide. The Georgia Senators blamed forced financial contributions to the Republican party in Georgia for his actions. Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican national committeeman for Georgia, replied that the postmaster murdered his clerk and killed himself because of embezzlement of Government funds.

PUBL MARCUS GARVEY IN LONDON TO SPEAK LONDON, England—Marcus Garvey, self styled President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and an exponent of the back-to-Africa movement, will make his debut here on January 6. Mr. Garvey will deliver the first of a series of speeches, next Wednesday, when he will speak in the Royal Albert Hall. He will be escorted to the hall by the African Legion. E. B. Knox, Mr. Garvey's personal representative in America, has been summoned to London for a conference. Mr. Garvey says, "Agitation is the breath of liberty; without agitation against them, great wrongs grow upon what they feed, and after a while, if not rooted out, throttle justice and strangle truth. It is the eternal voice of protest against wrong which has given mankind so much of justice and fair play as they now enjoy." The campaigning of educating England and Europe will be vigorously carried on by Mr. Garvey.

Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin, in a speech in the House last Saturday explaining certain bills he had introduced, urged Republicans to enact a Federal anti-lynching bill. Mr. Berger said: "Four years have passed since the Republican party pledged itself, in its national platform, to the enactment 'at the earliest possible date of a Federal anti-lynching law so that the full influence of the Federal government may be wielded to exterminate this crime. "During those four years 79 persons were killed by lawless mobs, while the Republican party, which had made this platform pledge, and which had a majority in both Houses of Congress to carry out its other policies beneficial to special interest groups, failed to keep its promise to outlaw lynchings. "This betrayal of those whose votes the Republican leaders obtained by making this platform pledge is an encouragement to lawless communities to continue the barbarous practice. "In 1927, 16 people, entitled to the protection of our laws, were lynched, seven of them in the State of Mississippi alone, which State holds the record for the year. "The first duty of a government is to maintain the authority of its laws over the territory it governs. That duty our Government has failed to perform. "I hope that the Seventieth Congress will not conclude its work until the majority party—the Republicans—enact a Federal anti-lynching law. I make this appeal to the Republicans, be (Continued on page 2) 15,000 WATCH CHILDREN AT FIELD DAY 15,000 WATCH CHILDREN AT FIELD DAY Fifteen thousand admiring parents and friends sat in the stands at American League Park and watched 6,000 school children, pupils of divisions 10 to 13, District Public Schools, perform in one of the most beautiful field day programs this city has ever witnessed. The exercises, which were staged under the direction of the Physical Training Department, Miss Anita J Turner, director, included games, folk dances, mimetic exercises, stunts and Maypole winding. From beginning to end, the affair was carried on with commendable unison. First grade pupils opened the program dancing "Yanke Doodle" and "Chimes of Dunkirk." An Indian Lesson, illustrated by the Second Grades followed the First Grade presentation, and included the mimicry of a series of Indian practices. The Fourth Grades played games, among which were Dodge Ball, Shuttle Relay and Straddle Ball. "Wooden Shoes," a dance, was enacted by Fifth Grade pupils while the Sixth Grades presented mimetic exercises. A Swedish Weaving Dance was danced by the Seventh and Eighth Grades, and "Jota Aaragonessa," a Spanish dance, was staged by young ladies of the Miner Normal School. The program was concluded by the Maypole winding by pupils of the Third Grades. Sixty Negro patrolmen, detailed from the various precincts, formed the escort for police protection. The detail was personally supervised by Captain Robert E. Doyle, of the Eighth Precinct. Music was furnished by the Community Center Band, Professor James E. Miller, conducting. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of public schools; Eugene A. Clark, principal, Miner Normal School; Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, members of the Board of Education, were among other distin guished guests who occupied reserved boxes. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1928 TWO RECOMMENDED FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL At a special meeting of the general faculty of the medical college of Howard University, last Thursday night, Dr. Walter A. Bloedorn, lieutenant commander, United States Navy, and Dr. William C. McNeill, 1423 T street, northwest; were nominated to succeed Dean Edward Arthur Balloch. The board of trustees will select one of them or may select an outsider. A committee was appointed from the medical faculty some time ago to make a recommendation but at the meeting this committee said the responsibility was too great. The general medical faculty decided to present the names of Dr. Bloedorn and Dr. McNeill. The special meeting following a dinner tendered the faculties of the medical, dental and pharmaceutical faculties. These nominations now go to the teachers council of the university faculty and from there to the president, who will submit a recommendation to the trustees on Tuesday. Dean Balloch is being retired after a service of 49 years. TO HOLD DRILL ON JUNE 7th Annual Competitive Event to be Held at American League Park Nine companies of High School Cadets will vie for honors in the thirty-sixth annual competitive drill between units of the Twenty-fourth Regiment to be held at American League Park, next Thursday. Beginning at 9:30 a.m., companies representing and bearing the hopes of the Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools will go through a program of close and extended military orders competing for the coveted flag awarded annually to the victorious command. A crowd of some 25,000 persons, students, relatives and friends of the cadets along with teachers and other interested partisans, is expected to be on hand to witness the season's outstanding social event. Since its inception into high school life in the early nineties the annual competitive drill has increased in popularity until closely rivals the largest exhibition of social standing among Negroes in America—the Howard-Lincoln football game.

Denies She Was Living With Another as His Wife Found rooming in the apartment of another man by her husband, Arthur Diggs, 716 Morton street, Susie Diggs, a maid at 3620 Sixteenth street northwest, was arrested last Sunday night on a statutory charge. Samuel Hawkins, in whose apartment Mrs. Diggs was discovered, was made co-defendant. According to the testimony of the landlady of a residence apartment house at 1514 P street, northwest, Mr. Hawkins applied to her for an apartment about two months ago. The man, she declared, told her he wished to rent for himself and wife. The proprietress of the house showed him an apartment, and a few days later, she said, Mr. Hawkins returned with a woman whom he introduced to her as Mrs. Hawkins. The landlady testified that the man had stayed there since the time of their renting the apartment. While she admitted that she could not be positive that the woman she believed to be Mrs. Hawkins had spent every night in the apartment, the proprietress said she knew for a fact that many nights since April 1, last, had found Mrs. Diggs in Hawkins' apartment. Husband's Warrant Detective J. A. Davis, acting or, a warrant sworn to by Mr. Diggs, entered the apartment last Saturday night and arrested both Mrs. Diggs and Mr. Hawkins. He testified that he found Mrs. Diggs and Mr. Hawkins in separate (Continued on page 2) MAN HELD IN DEATH BY CORONERS JURY A coroner's jury ordered Robert L. Dorsett, of No. 13A Naylor Court, northwest, held for the action of the Grand Jury at an inquest, Tuesday, into the death of John H. Steen, 35, No. 6 Naylor Court. Steen died at Casualty Hospital late Monday night after an altercation with Dorsett earlier in the day. Autopsy performed by Dr. Milton D. Rudge, deputy coroner, showed that death of Steen was due to compound fracture of the skull. Dorsett, who surrendered himself to police of the Second Precinct as soon as he learned of Steen's death, told police that he and Steen had become engaged in a fight over a mater of trivial nature. He declared he struck Steen with his hat and knocked him down in self defense.

Williams, high powered salesman, in a statement Monday. His wife, Mrs. Capitola Williams, pretty Freedmen's Hospital stenographer, is seeking an annulment of their marriage. Johnny denies the charge that he was not free to marry when he and his wife went through a marriage ceremony at Rockville, Md., January 14, 1923. Mrs. Capitola Williams charges that he was still the lawful husband of his first wife, Mrs. Frances E. Williams. The decree he obtained in Wyandotte County, Kansas, granting him a divorce from Mrs. Frances L. Williams, Johnny admits, was set aside because he was not o legal resident of that state, but he claims he obtained another decree i Wayne County, Michigan, at about the same time the Kansas decree was set aside. Mrs. Capitol Williams, Johnny says, had full knowledge of his divorce proceedings. In fact, he states, she urged him to get a divorce from his former wife and marry her. (Continued on page 2) MAN AND WOMAN ARE SENTENCED ON CHARGE William Johnson and Hattie Ward, arrested early Sunday morning by police of the Ninth Precinct, were sentenced to serve ten days in jail on a statutory charge, when arraigned in Police Court, Tuesday. The man and woman, according to Lula Ruff, applied to her two weeks ago as a married couple, and rented a room. For ten days they lived in the tranquil atmosphere of a newly married pair, but late Saturday night something went wrong. An argument began, and a fight ensued. Miss Ruff called the cops, and when they arrived Miss Ruff herself was taken along with Johnson and Miss Ward. On the witness stand Johnson declared that Miss Ruff and a man roomer had attacked him, but Judge Schultze interrupted the testimony and told Johnson if he ever got out of jail the first thing he should do should be to get out a warrant for the arrest of his assailants. Ten days is a long time. SIMPSON LIBEL TRIAL IS POSTPONED The criminal libel suit brought through the office of Assistant U.S. Attorney Ralph Given against William Simpson, 2008 Eighth street, northwest, was continued from Tuesday to today (Friday). The complainant, William A. Baltimore, 206 Eln street, northwest, a teacher of printing at the Shaw Junior High School, declared in a warrant sworn for Mr. Simpson's arrest that the latter had written a libelous letter to Frank W.

He was electrocuted for a criminal assault upon Mrs. Daisy Welling, white, in the Capitol Grounds on the night of February 18, 1927. Six shocks were sent through his body. Jackson was strapped in the chair three minutes after 10. Fifteen minutes later he was pronounced dead. The Rev. William D. Battle, pastor of the Galbraith A.M.E. Zion Church, led the death march. Following him came Jackson between two guards with a third guard behind him. As Jackson was placed in the chair, Rev. Battle had him to repeat after him the 23rd Psalm. Then Jackson said the Lord's prayer in muffled tones while two guards prepared the death machinery. The two attendants stepped back as Jackson said "Amen" to the prayer and the current was turned on." His body was removed to the undertaking establishment of John T. Rhines, 901 Third street, southwest. A morbid crowd viewed it Wednesday after it had been prepared for burial. Jackson was the first man to be electrocuted in the District of Columbia. Attorney John H. Wilson made a valiant fight to save Jackson from execution. HEFLIN CONT'UES TIRADE AGAINST GOVERNOR SMITH Continuing his almost daily political and religious tirades in the Senate, Senator Thomas J. Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama, last Saturday, demanded to know of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York whether he favors social equality and race amalgamation. Heflin pointed out that Negroes and whites worship together in Catholic churches. He wanted to know if Governor Smith as a Roman Catholic indorses it. "If you do," he declared, "you are for social equality; you are attacking the great principle of white supremacy. You are doing that Continued on page 2 ACHIEVEMENT CLUB SET UP AT HOWARD There has recently been formed at Howard University a club known as the Achievement Club. The pre-requisites for membership to this club consist of winning distinction in extra-curricular activities. A standard chart taken from the "Correlation of Success in Extra-Curricular Activities and Success in Scholarship" in the Howard Review of June 1924 is used to ascertain fitness for membership in this club. To follow have met the right requirements for membership Robert Dandridge, Jr., debator A. Franklin Fisher, orator; Baxte Don Goodall, editor; "The Hill Top"; Berry, president, Engineering Society; Theodus Connor, manager football, 1928; "Steve" Stanford, president of Junior Class; David Tucker, debator; Simon Douglass, president Student Council; Gleenwood Jones, president elect; Student Council; Gary Browne, basileus, Alphz Chapter Omega; John Wesley Poe, pole march, Xi Chapter, Kappa; James F.

A rigid application of eligibility rules for membership keeps the membership down to a low number. Liberal Progressive Independent BLEASE IS SOWING THE WIND in his foul and sinister references to our people, and but for the fact that he shows the action of one who is in reality frightened, we should do our part to fan the wind into a whirlwind. He, Hefin, and Glass are singing swan songs prior to drowning in the stream of the progression of democracy which is engulfing them. "HE WAS NO GOOD," said Bar-telmess, in the moving picture drama, "The Noose," as the only justification for defending his mother against his father's viciousness. Sad indeed is the plight of the boy who can say that of his father, or of the mother who can truthfully say it of the father of her child. "Marriage is destiny," you marry up or you marry down. "Be ye not unequally yoked." A RACE THAT HAS LIVED more than 30,000 years in the African wilds certainly has stamina enough to meet the conditions of so favorable a land as America. The fine appearance of a group of West Coast youth displayed in athletic dress in the Christian Science Monitor indicates that there are others to take our places. We have no fears as to race survival. PROFFESSOR, HOW COULD YOU? The ugly rumor concerning un due familiarities of certain university professors with their female pupils has spread far and wide, and though there is nothing unusual about the situation, we regret both the fact of the occurrence and the delay on the part of the university administration in reaction of it; we are assured, however, of careful investigation. Such things hurt the prestige of the school. A professor is the bearer of more weight than he sometimes realizes. If unable to stand the strain, he should resign His usefulness is at an end. He discredits education as an enlightener and injures youth in its idealism. Unless education acts to create conduct opposed to the natural and in line with social demands, it is not education, and we look to the instructors and teachers of our youth to show by example as well as by precept that they have cultured their feelings. No matter how hard-boiled youth may appear, nor how sophisticated, it is in reality only putting up a front to cover its ignorance and lack of experience. Youth is fundamentally idealistic, and though it may tempt and try its elders, it hopes within itself that they will be strong enough to resist and thus make their ideals real. University professors and high school teachers show by undue familiarity with pupils of the opposite sex, both that they have not been truly educated, and that they do not know that the older and younger generations never meet in complete reactions. Youth must be served and only youth itself is acceptable. Few young people are without mates, and the more attractive they are to the professors and teachers, the more apt that is to be true. When an older person of opposite sex cuts into such a union, be it ever so slight, it is bound to become the property of the other either in jealousy or in prestige. The familiar warning, "Be your age," might well be hung before every occupant of the teacher's chair. Failure to follow it injures society by spreading suspicion where there is no blame, and by spoiling the illusions of youth prior to the experiences of life which come all too soon. Fundamentally, any older man or woman who deludes himself or herself into thinking that he or she is acceptable to a younger party in romantic relations is just a plain fool, and should be so treated. There are already too many teachers of the word who are not doers also; we shall not regret the passing of a few who want to "sip where the bee sips." Clean the rascals out.

REQUEST ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE Charleston, South Carolina, in 1866, gives us an opportunity to note that we are helping in many ways to make America as a nation. The worn old woman at the wash tub, the college student living from hand to mouth in the effort to compass the outlined course necessary to the coveted degree and its offset to the sense of inferiority, the broad-shouldered owner of a truck which hauls away the refuse of industrial consumption, the school teacher seeing in the restless youth before him a potential citizen reflecting the ideals of equality of all men, the doctor coming fatigued but proud from the humble home where a new life has cemented the bonds of love unaffected by scant means, the business man shrewdly battling against the thoughtless expenditures of those of his race who might make him and themselves prosperous, and the pastor thrilling with the power of the spiritual life and its revelations which he vainly tries to portray, all play their part in making America. Contrary to the narrow wisdom and vicious propaganda that "this is a white man's country" and without "white supremacy" the country would be a shambles, Ernest Barker, principal of King's College, London, England, has written a most thoughtful study of National Character and set forth that "Racial purity, accordingly, is not of much importance." What we need to believe is that we are America as much as America makes us possible; that we make America as much as America provides us with natural resources, soil, climate and communication, and that our occupations and our spiritual life combine with "law, government, religion, language and education to make this a great nation." In fact because of the ready absorption of affecting conditions and because of a lack of restraint in our own expression, we have more profoundly made America than it has made us. Hold your head high, refuse to be discouraged, keep on the job, and like Paul, let your constant assertion be, "I am an American citizen." THE CONFERENCE OF METHODISTS About forty-seven millions of people, or about two-fifths of the population of this country are members of religious bodies, according to figures issued by the Federal Council of Churches. Approximately two millions of that number are found as our people in the various branches of the Methodist church, and it was at Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Louis, that the delegates of that body made history and established their church connections as going concerns. Outstanding among the achievements of the sessions, was the report of Professor John R. Hawkins, secretary-treasurer of the A.M.E. branch, in which he outlined the work and plans of the business end of the body in a masterly fashion, and found for his work most wonderful and intelligent appreciation. Next in influence upon the vitality and progress of the work of modern religion, was the spirit of the self-assertion of the laymen who sought and achieved representation in matters which have hitherto been the exclusive prerogative the executive branch of high Finally, these sessions so fraught with meaning in the continued growth and prosperity of so important an institution in the life of any people, added new blood and vigor by selecting strong and forward looking men to high places and by shifting the fields in which the older men must work. "Religion binds men to the whole universe in sympathy," and to ke and increase the hold of the church it is necessary to present new vitality and new aims to meet the demands of social growth and the progress of civilization. The action and results of the Methodist conferences attended so marked an intelligent group of laymen, assures the continuance of an institution that is so signally and usefully connected with the life of a great race in a country where "self-realization through social action is the highest ideal, today." THE LETTER BOX FREEDMEN'S. HOSPITAL'S As a tax payer and a law abiding citizen of Washington, D.C., I regret very much to enter a complaint against our one and only Negro hospital of any size in the city. But, deeming it necessary, I consider it my specific duty to relate to you the following incident. I was walking down U street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, northwest, Monday night about 11:30 o'clock when a lady in front of me fainted. Quickly I called an automobile and had her rushed to Freedmen's Hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital the emergency apartment was without an attending physician at the moment. After fifteen minutes (which seemed an hour at this particular time) the emergency physician finally approached us walking. Dear Editor, do you consider a lady's life worth at least a trot? Edward B. Cramer. 921 U St., N.W. THE WORD "NEGRO" Editor of the Washington Tribune: Dear Sir: Recently I wrote to the Director of Information Bureau, Washington Star, and asked this question: "Should not the word 'Negro' be spelled with a capital? The following is his answer which I received; "There are no arbitrary rules which govern the use of the capital or small initial letter in writing the word 'Negro'. We quote below a statement made by the editor of the Century magazine a few years ago: "Century Magazine usage, governed by the Century Dictionary, has always been to capitalize racia. names but Negro has been classed as a color designation, which we would no more capitalize than we would capitalize white man. Now, Mr. Editor. What do you think about this answer? Do not agree with the Century Magazine. I saw in one of the later books this definition, "The natives living on the banks of the river, 'Niger' were called "Negroes", that seemed a very feasible definition. I think this should be taken into consideration and make some comment. If we don't look out for our race and to try to get all that is due us, we will not get so very far when the white man. has to define us or our origin. As a reader of your paper I shall look for some response. Yours for consideration, (Mrs.) Mollie M. Smith 1024 Lamont St., N.W. TO HEFLIN AND BLEASE Hon. Thomas J. Heflin, U. S. Senator. Sir. Did it ever occur to you and Coleman L. Blease that, on account of your repeated unwarranted attacks in the United States Senate upon colored Americans, you were both the laughing-sock of the American people and all right thinking people the world over? You certainly disgrace the positions you hold whether properly elected or not. A United States Senator ought to be a man of dignity and refinement and c pable of showing some sign of statesmanship. It seems to me that both of you would do the proper thing if you resigned at once. Yours truly, E. M. HEWLETT. 317 4 1-2 St., N. W. THANKS FOR THIS LETTER Dear Editor. I have just finished reading your editorial, "Save the Girls." To my mind, it is one of the best pieces of work you have ever turned out. No, I am not old and gray haired, but young, romantic, and in short, the modern girl. Not a bit old-fashioned looking either. If I may modestly add, some think me sort of attractive. Also, I am considered quite a curiosity by certain "sets" because I neither drink nor pet. I am no model; do not claim to embody all the virtues; am wholly conscious of my many faults; but, I do above all respect myself and sincerely strive to be the best possible type of woman. Dear Editor, I am writing this to let you know that there are colored girls who realize the worthlessness of "fast" living, and who appreciate the finer things in life. Of course I go to parties; plenty of them, have a sufficient number of fellows, but strive to "do things" in moderation. When will girls realize that they can be popular without being "wild" or "loud"? Please start a column in your paper for girls. Make them realize that the kind of fellow who likes to pet and who will not take a girl out unless she submits to anything, is not worth a "bill of beans". Make the girls realize that men are not the only means through which girls can enjoy themselves. How do I enjoy myself — reading, swimming, hockey, tennis, theatre, hikes, lectures, and last but not least by teaching Sunday school. Again I beg you to start a column for girls, and I am willing to say that your office will be flooded with letters. A Reader. P.S.—I am nineteen. Oh! yes, I use rouge and lipstick, too, and maybe look like one of those "clothes horses" you referred to. I don't think any girl should be censored for making herself as attractive as possible. Men have the idea that women paint, etc. to attract them. But that isn't so. I do it because it makes me look better. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PISARA'S FORTUNE The festival was just over, and the Caliph was looking for someone to clean the festival hall. While looking for someone he saw a little boy crying. "What are you crying for, my little boy?" asked the Caliph. "Pisara was the boy's reply. Pisara, I will give you a little job." Pisara wiped his eyes and he and the Caliph went to the hall. Papers, boxes and everything were on the hall floor and Pisara had to clean it all. Soon he had half of the place cleaned. Suddenly a fair maiden danced in. She was dressed in large yellow baggy pants with a red jacket filled with jewelry. Without saying a word she began helping Pisara clean the hall. When the place was cleaned the maiden bowed before Pisara and before Pisara could thank her she dashed from the hall. Soon the Caliph returned. Seeing the place so clean the Caliph marvelled and hired Pisara to be his page. Many days passed and Pisara often wondered about the maiden who had helped him. One day the Caliph's wonderful ring was lost and Pisara was promised a higher position if he found the ring. It was said that the ring was lost in the field next to the Caliph's home. Pisara looked and looked for the ring, but he could not find it. Suddenly the same maiden he saw before appeared and handed him the ring. Again before he could thank her she vanished. For finding the ring Pisara was made the Caliph's book opener. Many days passed happily. One day the Caliph's big diamond was lost. "My," said Pisara, "the Caliph is always losing something." Again Pisara was offered a higher position. It was said that the diamond was lost in the Caliph's private park. Pisara went out looking for it but could not find the diamond. Soon the same maiden came forth but this time she was dressed in a white silk dress filled with pearls. She also wore a wonderful ostrich feather headdress. In her hand she held the diamond. Determined to find out who the maiden was Pisara seized her and asked her who she was. The maiden said, "I am the Caliph's banished daughter and I live outside of the city wall." "Why were you vanished?" asked Pisara. "I was more beautiful than my older sister therefore I was hated and vanished by my father," answered the maiden. "Come," said Pisara, "I will get you back into your father's favor." Soon Pisara, the diamond and the maiden were in front of the Caliph. "My daughter, get out of my sight!" said the Caliph. Pisara handed the Caliph the diamond, Pisara then explained to the Caliph how his daughter had helped him each time he had something to do. Then the Caliph exclaimed, "I love both of you. Come, sit beside me, one on one side and one on the other, and as for the older sister, I shall cast her aside." A great feast was prepared and Pisara, the maiden, and the Caliph lived happily ever afterwards. 629 Fairmont St., N.W. JACKSON SAID "NO" By Albert Brooks Philip Jackson was electrocuted Tuesday, May 29, after being found guilty on a charge of criminally assaulting a white woman in the Capitol Grounds, February 18, 1927. "Answer me this," Roberts interrupted, "These gentlemen want to know this, answer me, 'yes or no,' did you put your hand on that woman that night?" Jackson said, "No," in a strong voice. Facing certain death, his soul consigned unto eternity, Jackson maintained his innocence to the end. Jackson had to die. It mattered not that he was demented, that he was a poor shell-shocked ex-soldier. The press had decreed that he must die, had fought to have him beb the first to christen the new electric chair in the jail—had molded public opinion to this end. The execution of white murderers, whose guilt was beyond the shadow of doubt, was carefully p-stoned. Jackson must be first. Jackson was first. Now what? If Jackson was innocent, there is blood—much blood, on somebody's hands—tainted blood, the kind that causes many miserable hours in after-life. If Jackson was guilty, if an insane man can truly be termed guilty, he has passed from a greater misery; for death alone, could be preferrable to the recent tortures of his crazed mind. Hence, it is not so much for Jackson that sympathy should be extended, as for the system of justice that denies sanity hearings for men like Jackson, and grants them to perfectly sane men like Thaw and Remus, for the system of justice that makes men like Ben Eess spend half of their days in prison because of the lying accusation of an highly imaginative woman. 'Tis true that a jury found Jackson guilty, a jury whose minds were warped by a prejudicial press; 'tis true that Jackson confessed the crime, a confession born of third-degree torture; 'tis true that Jackson was identified by the woman, and so also was Ben Eess identified by the woman. Still—it is also true that Jackson FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1923 KIDDIES' KIDDIES' CORNER DOUBLE LETTER SENTE Dear Editor: Here is my sentence of a each word containing double letters, written Name ...

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. EARN TICKETS WHILE YOU ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN Do not Use More than Two Proper Names in Your Sentence This feature will entail a little literary gymnastics. You are to make a complete sentence of not less than ten words; each word must contain at least one set of double letters. The main things to bear in mind are: each sentence must contain not less than ten words; each word must contain double letters; if more than ten words are used, every word must contain double letters; do not use more than TWO proper names. Do not make two words of one word, such as "foot ball" (two words) for "football" (one word). Hyphenated words are permissible. The editor of the Kiddies' Corner will give a theatre ticket to Dunbarn Theatre for each sentence published. All letters must be addressed to the Editor, "Kiddies' Corner." They must be in the Tribute office, U street, Northwest, not later than 8 p.m., Tuesday, June 5. Winners will be announced, Friday, June 8. You may send in as many sentences as you wish, providing that one coupon (as below) cut out of the Tribute, accompanies them. Cut out the blank here and show it to your friends. Suggest to them that if they write a good double letter sentence, that they may win tickets. Do not think that your sentence will be worse than others that are submitted. Try to convince yourself that your sentence will be better, or, at least just as good as any others sent in. Remember, Tribunites, that the sentences that are understood easiest are given preference in the awarding of prizes. Some sentences are very good, but they have to be read two or three times before the meaning of clear. Parents are not fair who make sentences for their children. To make sentences and give them to the kiddies to send in is teaching them to cheat. Let the kiddy earn what he or she gets. Three Good Sentences Two sentences are very good. They are: "Jimmy's three little kittens tossed three balls across Polly's feet."—Mabola Lewis, (14), 329 Rhode Island avenue, northwest. "Cheerful little Hattie will dress all pretty dolls tomorrow noon."—Madeline Holmes, (13), 3305 Sherman avenue. Come to the Tribune office for your tickets. Ask for Mr. Frazier.

Hopkins The term "shortening" indicates the purpose of fat in cake and bread-making. The fat is used to make the food shorter or more tender. There is a secondary purpose of shortening in cake making, and this is the introduction of air into the sugar and fat mixture to help make the cake light. It is important, therefore, that the sugar and fat should be mixed to a light airy mass. To this mixture may be added the eggs, usually the yolks slightly beaten, leaving the whites to be stirred in at the last moment. If the cake is to be white, the liquid is added in place of the yolks. Whenever milk or water is added to a creamed sugar and fat mix- was crazy, even though his insanity was termed a special prison psychosis; it is also true that Jackson was convicted on very slim evidence, and that he was denied a sanity trial; and it is also true, that Jackson, facing the chair, said "No." Parents.

Poems will not be returned if not accompanied by addressed, stamped envelope.) In this old world there are no ills That depress the Negro; No self-destructive motive fills The mind of the Negro; 'Tis here that life is sweet and dear, And nowhere is the clime so fair. As on this mundane's sunny sphere, To the hated Negro. No heinous thought or selfish greed, Inflames the "vicious" Negro; Not vengeful hate has sown its seed In the "misguided" Negro; Revenge is farthest from his breast; Yet those who claim to know him best. Nowhere is known a heart so light As that of the Negro; He lives and hopes and tries to please Yet everything is done to tease The unoffending Negro.

The Old Indian Herb Store 1728 SEVENTH ST.,EET, N.W. In the Middle of the Block Between R and S Streets DAVIS AND HOWARD QUIZZED (Continued from page 1) ing "a little threadbare" about this last $1,000. Mr. Howard presented a statement showing that the Mississippi State committee shows a deficit of $5,300 incurred by the committee. In estimating the total expenditures in Mississippi, he placed the amount at about $11,000, of which $5,000 was supplied by Mr. Hoover's supporters in the state. The twelve Mississippi delegates to the Republican national convention have been selected, he said, and face a contest at the convention brought by delegates elected by a rival organization headed by L. O. Crosby, white. In response to an inquiry by Senator Steiner, Mr. Howard said that the rival organizations, which he called "lily white," had spent money "very liberally." This "lily white' organization is said to be for Hoover, he said. In detailing the sums of money raised for Hoover's candidacy, Mr. Davis said that he had received $2,200 from Mr. Holland here. Of that amount $1,200 was given him in January and $1,000 on a later trip in March. Other Contributors Two of the four since elected delegates-at-large to the Republican national committee contributed to the Hoover fund, he said, Joseph H. Watson, colored, of Albany, Ga, giving $750 and G. F. Flanders, white, giving $200. Mr. Davis stated that he also collected in minor amounts from different persons over the State approximately $800. These sums were expended in behalf of Mr. Hoover, he said, but he kept no records of how the money was spent. Sixteen delegates have been elected for Georgia, Mr. Davis said, and while they were elected as Hoover delegates there have been some reports of dissatisfactions. Mr. Watson since his contribution to the Hoover fund is reported to have changed his mind and now is opposed to the nomination of Mr. Hoover. He is also opposing Mr. Davis for the national committee-manship. In responding to an inquiry by Senator Steiwer, Mr. Davis stated that to his knowledge no other candidate than Mr. Hoover endeavored to secure delegates in Georgia. No arrangements were made with Mr. Holland when he gave him the $2,200 for an accounting, Mr. Davis said, the only restriction made being that he use it "for legitimate purposes." Mr. Davis denied charges which he said were being made that he had received money in behalf of a campaign for Hamilton Fish, Jr., for vice-president.

"My bill is stronger than any other anti-lynching bill that has been proposed. There are teeth in it. It is not any stronger, however, than the exigencies of the situation require—or the menace with which it is intended to deal would justify." Mr. Berger introduced his anti-lynching bill in the House on April 12. Under its provisions the Federal Government would prosecute civilians and officials who have any part in lynchings. A citizen who joins a lynching party would be liable to five years' imprisonment and a. $5,000 fine. Police officials whose duty it is to protect individuals in accordance with the laws and who fail to take the necessary precautions to protect them against mob attacks, would be liable to twice that penalty. Communities in which lynchings occur would forfeit $10,000 for each lynching taking place in those communities. Congress adjourned without this bill having been reported from the House judiciary committee to which it was referred. TO HOLD DRILL ON JUNE 7th (Continued from page11) An exhibition "silent drill" to be staged by non-commissioned officers will be a special feature of this year's drill. The "silent drill" will be a program of military maneuvers gone through by the "non-coms" without command. The boys will execute the movements from memory and concentration. Another added feature will be in the presence of a unit of District National Guards who will comprise the enemy of each company during its extended order attack. The soldiers will be equipped with blank cartridges. The Teacher's Diamond Medal, which is worn by the winning captain for a period of time and is afterward engraved with his name will be awarded following the Regimental Review and decision of the judges (as yet unknown), which is scheduled for 4:45 p.m. Carl Beck-with, captain of Dunbar Company B was the winner in 1927. The Armstrong units have sworn to avenge the ignominious defeat they suffered last year, when all three of the prize places went to Red and Black companies. 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. WOMAN IS TAKEN IN RAID (Continued from page 1) rooms and a third room of the apartment occupied by a married couple. He declared he was forced to threaten the breaking in of the door before Mrs. Diggs would permit him to enter. The couple in the third room, Detective Davis declared he was told, was a Mr. and Mrs. Russell, sister and brother-in-law of Mr. Hawkins, from New York City, who were visiting the latter. This same information, the landlady of the apartment told the court, was the one she had gotten from Mr. Hawkins. Mrs. Diggs, upon taking the stand, testified that she had known Mr. Hawkins for four years, having become acquainted with him through contact with him at her place of employment. The man, she said, was a chauffeur for the family for whom she worked as maid. She denied that she had lived with the man as his wife, and denied any relations with Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Diggs and declared that he had never introduced her as his wife. She stayed at the apartment in a spare room, he declared, only when she came there at nights to clean his room. He said that he went to the Union Station to meet a party who did not show up, and while there met Mrs. Diggs who was returning on an excursion to New York. Mrs. Diggs, he said, was hungry and the two of them went to his apartment for tea. After tea, he said, she retired. Couple Divorced A divorce decree was obtained by M.; Diggs in a Virginia Court on March 17, 1910. On April 21, 1921, Mrs. Diggs succeeded in having the decree set aside and obtained a limited divorce with maintenance. Mr. Diggs was ordered to pay her $12 monthly permanent alimony, which he has been doing since that time. Attorney Fountain Peyton, representing the defendants, argued that the evidence was purely circumstantial and lacking in weight. He pointed out that proof was not conclusive enough to convict the defendants of the charge due largely to the fact that they wea found in rooms separate and distinct and not adjoining or communicating. A kitchen, he declared, separated the rooms. The court ordered a $50 fine suspended over both. HEFLIN CONTINUES TIRADE AGAINST GOVERNOR SMITH (Continued from page 1) which is dangerous to both races. It will not work." He also wanted to know what Governor Smith did when the Dyer anilynching bill was under consideration in the House in 1922. "That was a bill leveled at the South" he said. "There is where the great race question is. It was a bill that sought to appeal to the Negro vote in the North; a bill that pt.: a premium on the crime of rape; that encouraged attacks and assaults on white women. "It contained a provision that if a Negro who attacked a white woman was killed, the white people of the country had to pay to his family $10,000, which was the insurance policy that was being provided in the event he succeeded in committing that crime. "Governor Smith, when that bill was up in the House, when the Southern Democrats were begging for aid, they asked your Tammany Democrats to help them. What did they do? They turned their backs on them. They did not give them a single vote. "Do you endorse that, Governor Smith? That is the record of the Tammany Democrats of New York; and you and Olvaney, Cardinal Hayes, and Priest Duffy control Tammany Hall absolutely. You could have had them vote with the Southern Democrats, but you refused to do it." Governor Smith's conduct, Heflin said, brands him "as a champion, an advocate of social equality and race amalgamation." HUSBAND DENIES CHARGE (Continued from page 1) She now seeks to get rid of him, Johnny charges, in order to marry Dr. I. Buford Horn, who com- pleted his internship at Freedmen's Hospital a year age. While he was serving a sentence of a year's imprisonment, Johnny says, Mrs. Williams began to seek grounds for divorce. Finding none, he charges, she instituted her suit for annulment of their marriage on the ground that he was still lawfully married when they went through a marriage ceremony. He does not intend, says Johnny, to fight her suit. "I am more anxious than she," he states, "to have us take roads apart. I view the situation quite happily." Referring to their four year old boy, John R. Williams, Jr., Johnny said: "She spoke of my having made repeated efforts to see my child. Surely there can be nothing dishonorable about that. During my absence from the city I had forwarded money regularly for the child's maintenance despite Mrs. Williams' statement to the juvenile court officer that I had not done so. My statement was corroborated by a certificate from the guardian of the child." Johnny believes that his wife is seeking to punish "him farther down a hill" although his only fault has been that he "stumbled while striving for her." He claims that he has done a husband's part by his wife. "I know within my heart and soul," he says, "that I have never been less than a husband to Mrs. Williams. If she wishes to rid herself of me, I would not have it otherwise." VICTORY LIFE HAS TWO NEW AGENTS J.

P THE SPORT REVIEW GAY CROWD SEES LINCOLN WIN HOWARD MEET Spriggs Golf Tourney Victor—Black Sox Win Pair Well Coached Lion Runners Romp to Easy Victory Well Coached Lion Runners Romp to Easy Victory Frank Mitchel, Orange and Blue Crack Miler, Thrills Throng with Spectacular Win Over Gus Moore, Pittsburgh Star A holiday crowd which, in its huge assortment of captivating colors, looked brilliant in spite of the grimmness of an overcast day, looked on at the annual Howard University Open and Scholastic Track and Field Championships, held at the Howard Stadium, Wednesday. For the second time in three weeks, the Orange and Blue borne by runners of Lincoln University, coached by Joe Rainey, one of the founders of the Eastern Sports Writers Association, and formerly an outstanding figure of the cinder path, walked off with the honors in a big meet. On May 12, the Lions romped away to victory at the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, at Hampton Institute. Second to Lincoln with 54% points, came Howard, the hosts, who garnered 42 points against Holy Cross A. C., Pittsburgh's 34 points. Dunbar annexed the high school division laulets by outpointing both Armstrong and the Bowie Normal schools. PHIL EDWARDS CAPTAINS N.Y.U. TRACKMEN Phil Edwards, stellar New York University middle distance runner, has been elected captain of the 1928 Purple cindermen. An outstanding feature of the meet was the defeat of Gus Moore, stellar miler of the University of Pittsburgh, running for the Holy Cross A.C., by Frank Mitchell, of Lincoln. The Lion paced Moore throughout the four laps of the mile and outdistanced him in the stretch. The race was a thriller from start to finish and was a damper thrown over the Holy Cross hopes. Moore won the two-mile trot with little effort, avenging his defeat by Mitchell by leading the field by 50 yards. Three contestants wearing the handle of L. Williams gave officials no little trouble distinguishing which was which. Lige and Lois Williams, of Howard, along with Louis Williams, of Holy Cross, kept the officials busy telling who won their races and who didn't. Not until late in the meet did one bright badge-bearer discover that numbers on their backs could be used better than names for identity. Ed Gardner and Tobie Joseph, of C. C. Pyles' Cross Country Trotters were invited guests. Gardner ran an exhibition three miles while spectators watched the high jumping in a corner of the field. Phil Edwards and Bil Butler ran exhibition 880-yard and 440-yard dashes under handicap. Each won easily. The mile relay, perhaps the prettiest exhibitions on a track and field program, were won.

TRACKMEN Phil Edwards, stellar New York University middle distance runner, has been elected captain of the 1928 Purple cindermen. Edwards, who hails from British Guinea, is the first Negro ever to lead a white Metropolitan college team. His election was met with favor by all his teammates and professors, according to statements given the Tribune reporter, Wednesday. Because of his nationality, United States Olympic authorities have announced that Edwards must run for some other country. He cannot represent the Stars and Stripes in the coming Olympic Games. Edwards said his talent will be offered to Canada. PIRATES WIN FIRST OF LEAGUE SHUTOUTS ANACOSTIA, D.C.—The Anacostia Hillsdales succumbed once more to a Tribune League team when the fast Washington Pirate outfit handed them the league season's first shutout, here, last Sunday. The score was 4-0. Frazier, on the mound for the Buccaneers let the Hillsdale batters down with two lone singles, and fanned eight. Davis and Coleman led the assault on the Anacostia pitcher. Three runs added by the Pirates in their half of the eighth frame went for naught when rain came down and stopped the fracas. PIEDMONTS TROUNCE TEN- LEYTOWN NINE TENLEYTOWN, D. C.—Batting out 20 hits for almost all runs, the young and fast Piedmont A. C. crashed their way to a 19-11 victory over the Tenleytown A. C., here in a Tribune League game, last Sunday. The contest was witnessed by several hundred enthusiastic fans who remained enthusiastic despite the clammy weather and the severe pasting administered their home boys. George Adams, sensational stick wielder of the visiting clan, banged out 5 safe swats in half dozen trips plateward. His record was closely approached by Ben Wright, keystone guardian of the "Tena" who connected for a home run, double and 2 singles in 6 times at bat. Having been overhauled by the home town nine once, the Piedmont management, after establishing a substantial lead again in the sixth frame, called on "Bumper" Braggs, his ace, who held the "Tens" safe.

Harris Defeated by Virginia Lad, 7 and 6 The first Open Golf Tournament of the 1928 season was brought to an end as finalists went through the paces of the closing day's play in the chill and dampness of the Lincoln Memorial Public Links, last Sunday. Nathan Spriggs, hailing from Halls Hill, Va., and the medalist in the qualifying round of the tourney, finished on top, winning the First Flight championship by defeating Dr. Harris by the decisive score of 7 up and 6. Harry Jackson and Lorenzo Martin, joint promoters of the affair, expressed their complete satisfaction with the tourney's success. The final matches were for 36 holes. The second flight championship was won by B. Robinson, who after 41 holes of gruelling play finally underscored his rival, W. Green. With the score all-even at the thirty-sixth green, Robinson and Green continued on through 5 extra holes before the decision was reached. Third flight honors went to Charles Honesty, last year's winner. Honesty fell down in his qualifying day's play, but after match play got under way, the 1927 champ showed that he was out of place in the third eight. He defeated Dr. G. Adams, 2 up and 1 in the final round. W. Paige won the fourth flight prize by trouncing J. Branom 6 up and 4. Prizes, furnished by the two promoters, were assortments of wooden and iron clubs. The winners were presented with them at the close of the day's card. UNION LEAGUE Standing Team W. L. Pct. Myrtles .3 1 .750 LeDroits .2 1 .667 Orientals .2 2 .500 Wash.

The third placer in the Pyle Marathon declares "him biggum injun." When asked by the Tribune sports reporter if Granville was really colored, the question being prompted by the lack of evidence in that respect, "Baby" Joseph, the 15-year-old lad who visited the Tribune offices Wednesday with Eddie Gardner, said "He says he is not." The youngster who proved rather reticent about talking, said Granville, though bearing every characteristic of the race, maintains he is an Indian. Ed Davis Wins C.I.A.A. Singles Tennis Title PETERSBURG, Va. (Special). The annual Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tennis Singles Championship was won by Eddie Davis, of Washington, D. C., by defeating Howell, stellar rauceter of Shaw University, last Saturday. Davis represented Viginary Seminary and College. The score of the match was 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 and 6-1. Davis, a product of the Howard Playground, Washington, and one of the most outstanding all-round athletes in the C. I. A. A., won through his fine net play and superior stamina. Cotten, Hampton, winner in 1927, was defeated by Howell in the first round. The finals in the men's singles was an excellent exhibition throughout. Davis felt it safe to learn the style of his opponent's play before cutting loose himself. After dropping the first set, however, the District lad opened a barrage of strokes which completely bewildered his Shaw rival. Davis' spectacular placements kept him out of danger throughout. The doubles, title was won by the team representing Shaw, while Miss Carrie Marshall took the ladies' singles championship with her to Virginia State Normal and Industrial Institute. Eastern League Survives Despite Enemies PHILADELPHIA (E.S.W.A.)—Two, possibly three, new clubs will be admitted to the Eastern League when the organization meets in Atlantic City late this week. If Alejandro Pompez, of the Cuban, felt that he was dealing a death blow to the association, when he sent in his resignation to that body when it met here on Friday, he is destined to be disappointed. Although Jim Keenan, owner of the Lineola Giants (New York) quickly followed in the footsteps of Strong, Bolden, and Pompez, the league is still extant. Applications for three new charters were ordered investigated, and the possibilities are that two of them will be reported favorably. Aroused at last by the continued snipings, the league will make immediate reprisals. Since its constitution says that the players of all clubs surrendering franchises are the property of the league, the various magnates will endeavor to sign any men they want. Another and more drastic step will be taken. Not even the Cuban Stars athletes are safe from the coming attack. It is no secret that the Havana Red Sox, one of the clubs seeking admission, is a Cuban team. The Sox have been a thorn in the side of Senor Pompez for some time and it is reported that several of his stars are ready to follow in the footsteps of Martin Dihigo and jump the reservation. With most of the high grade island talent corralled by the Western Cubans and the Havana Reds, Pompez will be in a bad hole. The Bacharach Giants, with a fine new ball yard all ready for the opening games with the Black Sox on Friday, are in need of material and several luminaries sporting independent uniforms will shortly shift to the habiliments of the Bees. Sport lovers demand league baseball where something more than the result of the game is at stake. They want thrills which come with batting and fielding, leadership and the inevitable comparisons which such duels bring forth. This has been proved by the large crowds of fans which every day stay away from the independent ball parks. Curiously, too, while colored ball teams are the best drawing cards in white ball parks, white teams are the poorest "cards" in colored parks. A white team seldom or never draws its guarantee at the sundown gate. The Myrtle A. C. handed the Oriental Tigers a double setback on the "point" diamond, last Sun- The GOOD E Co.

C. Traynam Inclement weather caused a post-ponement of a majority of the games last week, only two Departmental League games marked the activities of the league. The Government Printing office swamped the Aggies for a 7 to 4 count, driving Tennille to cover with an avalanche of extra base clouts in three innings. Grant pitched good ball the remainder of the game, but in vain as the early lead piled up was too great to overcome. Neal, the G. P. O. starting pitcher, wavered and Beverly was called in to stop them. The Navy Yard behind the brilliant twirling of Pleasant, opened up a broad side battery on the Veterans' Bureau and made Braggs walk the plank in the sixth inning. He deserved a better fate but his mates deserted the ship, Morris tried hard to stem the tide but his three hits were not enough to insure victory. Craig of G. P. O., lost the batting leadership when he failed to hit in his last two appearances at the plate. W. Briscoe of Veterans' Bureau now heads the league with .615 and still leads with homers 4, close behind is "Spike" Bland, G. P. O. with .526 with one homer less, Wooden, Navy Yard, .525, Lee, Treasury .500, Grant and Baylor, Agriculture .487 each. In runs scored Bland, G.P.O. 9, Briscoe, Veterans' Bureau 8, P. Brown, Navy Yard 7, Lee, Treasury 5, Baylor and Moten Agriculture, 5 each. P. Brown of Navy Yard continues to wear the base stealing crown with 7, Dandridge and Fauntroy, G. P. O. 4 each, Briscoe, Veterans' Bureau 3, Lee, Treasury 3, Moten, Aggies 3. Frazier, the skipper of the Navy Yard, was hit apparently on the foot in a recent game, but in rendering first aid Brown was rubbing both knees, and after reaching first base the skipper began rubbing his head—what manner of ball was Captain Braggs firing? Wonder if you could secure a basketball to give "Soup" Turner some batting practice, as with the regulation ball he is always waving his bat at 'em or at yours truly, hard to tell which.

C., with Erma Ewell, an infielder, twirling, took the measure of the Alexandra Nationals here last Sunday by the score of 12-5. The game, one of the contests arranged as part of the Washington Tribune Baseball League, was exciting from start to finish in spite of the inclement weather conditions which existed. Ewell, in his initial mound feat, whiffed 15 aspiring Nat batters while his teammates were garnering 13 bingles for an even dozen runs. Scott, Monarch catcher, with 3 doubles and 2 one-base blows led the batters while Cyp Lucas, shortstop, with a two-bagger and a pair of singles followed his teammate. H.

(Special to the Tribune)—From the north, from the south, from the east and from the west they came—Negroes, aspiring and determined, to enter the Coast-to-Coast Marathon staged by C. C. Pyle (white) and which ended at Madison Square Garden, here, last Saturday. After eighty-four days of constant, monotonous jogging, fifty-five survivors of the field of one hundred and eighty-eight runners which were in at the start in Los Angeles, Cal., trekked into the Metropolis with colored men in third and eighth places. Phillip Grar.ville, representing the part of the continent toward the Arctic region, corralled $5,000 of the prize money by finishing in third place, while Ed Gardner, the southerner ran in eighth to carry away the $1,000 offered as the prize for that position. Although Gardner was recorded throughout the race as the "Seattle, Washington Negro, he is originally from the south. Gardner was born in Birmingham, Ala. He is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute. He is now employed by the Seattle Lighting Company to which city he went from Denver, Colo., where he moved from Alabama. "Smiling Sammy" Robinson, hailing from Atlantic City, N.J. represented eastern United States, while Tobie Joseph Cotten, 15-year old Los Angeles youngster, running under the name of T. Joseph, bore the hopes of the west. William Frierson and Harry Johnson entered the chase for the purpose of protecting the interests of the central states. Frierson is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio and Johnson, who was forced out of the Marathon at Hobbrook, N.M. because of insufficient funds, comes from Detroit, Mich. All with the exception of Granville and Gardner were chased from the Gardens track after the first ten runners had finished, and it was found to be impossible for them to improve their standing. The large massive frame of Granville hauled into the finish in 613:42:30. He trailed Andy Payne (white), of Claremore, Oklahoma by 40 hours, 37 minutes and 96 seconds. Gardner was 86 hours, 52 minutes and 13 seconds behind the winner, and 48 hours, 14 minutes and 17 seconds in the rear of Granville. Manager of Monarchs is Confident of Winning Jimmy Thompson is loud in his praise of his youthful and fast Monarch A.C. basebal team, third place winners in the 1927 Tribute League. The boss of the southwest lads anticipates a wildfire 1928 season, and in his prediction promises to run ruin among the rival hordes. Situated as they are, in Class B, Thompson admits that he has no right to "count his chickens before the eggs are cracked," but in spite of the warning his conscience keeps before him, Jimmy just can't help feeling that the flag is "in." The head King is already desirous of learning what dates have been set for the titular series so that he will be able to start pointing his men toward that set of contests. In W. Kelly the southwest lads have an exceptional hurler who can bat. Kelly's feats on the mound last year were, on several occasions, the talk of the circuit. Besides this stellar flinger the Monarch Club boasts of Erma Euell, D. Neal and S. Perry, three stickmen who are to be respected. As an outfit the southwest clan looms as a serious threat to ambitious Class B Tribune League teams. J. Thompson, manager; P. Davidson, assistant manager; R.

It was only after tremendous expense and financial outlay that the Howard Management was able to secure these very remarkable entertain- ers. “The Four Pepper Shakers” are the outstanding attraction in the show “All Aboard.” The comedy situation in the above show is ably handled by one whom we all know well as the out-stand- ing attraction in the original “Club Alabam.” He is none other than Johnny ‘Vigal.

Last but ‘not least a big chorus of Broadway Beauties. ‘As an added attraction for the entire week of June 4 the public of Washington will have the op- portunity of hearing Lucille Heg- amin, the Cameo Record Star, who has not been seen in Washington in the past three years.

In addition to Carolyn Snowden will also be seen John Muray the one hundred year old colored actor, who makes his screen debut as Uncle John in this pro- duction. Others that will be seen in the cast include James Murray, Helen Costello and Wesley Barry.

HOWARD GLEE CLUB PRAISED IN PRESS By Wellington Adams Gardner Mack in the Washing- ton Times, May 25th, commented on the Howard Glee club, station WMAL last week, as ‘follows: Washington, through the Howard University Glee Club and WMAL, contributed what was perhaps the finest. musical movement of the evening under the direction of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs. The singers of the famous Negro Howard pro- vided listeners with a concert they will not soon forget and will rare- ly hear duplicated. The genius of Director Tibbs could easily be traced in the arrangement of chor- als of Handel, Speaks, and others, and in the direction of about as perfect singing of them as could be heard. ‘The Howard University singers are in a class all by themselves. Description of their work leads one to superlatives that defeat their own purpose. The club must be heard for one to thoroughly under- stand just how far it stands ahead of most choruses. The club had the assistance of a group of solo- ists whose performance were quite equal to the distinguished company they served.

The Second District Commandery Annual Memorization Mass was held at the Church of the Incarnation at Deanwood, D.C., May 30, at 8 o'clock. NEW OPEN AIR ACT AT GARDENS Unquestionably one of the most hair-raising novelty acts playing the parks today is that which is presented by Axel Mirano and Company recently imported from Europe where they created a positive furore. They will appear at Suburban Gardens Park next week beginning with afternoon performance on Sunday, June 3rd. The apparatus used by Axel Mirano is extremely odd, being a replica of the famous Eiffel tower in Paris, atop of which a cross arm extends, a miniature aeroplane is attached to one end and a trapeze bar to the other. It is from the bar that Mirano performs all his perilous gymnastics while the arms gyrate madly up and down and round and round at a fearsome speed. One extraordinary daring feat accomplished by the dare devil is when he hangs suspended by his toes from the bar, suddenly a gasp goes up from the spectators, he has taken one foot from the trapeze and it seems as though he must inevitably be hurled from his precarious perch, but he retains his equilibrium and a sigh of relief goes up as he clambers back to a safe position.
