U. S. GRANT REFUSES TO APPOINT NEGRO HEAD OF FRANCIS POOL ..... FIRST in Advertising and Circulation U. S. GRANT APPOINT N OF FRAN Capt. Parsons, of Welfare Ass'n, Intimates Job is Too Big for Negro HOWERTON REJECTED Civic Organizations May Boycott and Picket New Project Lieutent-Colonel Jlysses S. Grant, director of public buildings and public parks, has turned a deaf ear to the protests of local Negroes against the appointment of S. T. Kimball, white, as superintendent of the new Municipal Bathing Pool, Twenty-fifth and N streets, northwest, and their plea for the appointment of a colored man. The director told a delegation consisting of representatives from twenty-five leading Negro organizations in a conference at his office, Tuesday, that the appointment of Kimball would be authorized and that the white manager would be in charge when the project is formally opened, July 14. Professor Neville H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Attorney George A. Parker, president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations, and Rev. W. H. Jernagin, of the National Ministerial Alliance, along with a number of other prominent civic workers, expressed grievance against the office of the director, which after having forced a segregated pool on the colored people, has "added insult to injury" by manning the project with Negro subordinates to a white head. Parson's Choice Lieutent-Colonel Grant's ex-(Continued on page 2) WHITE COP BEATEN FOR ROUGH HANDLING MAN Arraigned before Police Court Judge Isaac Hitt, Monday, Frank Parker, 385 O street, southwest, walved preliminary hearing and demanded a jury trial for his part in the alleged attack on Patrolman John Aufenberg, white, of the Fourth Precinct, Sunday. Aufenberg, according to eyewitnesses, rushed into Clark's Court, southwest, during a dice game in which Parker is alleged to have been a participant, grabbed the colored man and began abusing him. Those of the participants who escaped when they saw the officer approach, and other onlookers resented the manner in which Aufenberg is said to have handled Parker and several of them are alleged to have thrown bric-a-brac at the policeman. Parker was struck over the head by Aufenberg and immediately the protesting Negro residents set up a cry and surrounded him. A white passerby, William P. Embrey, 1227 Sixth street, southwest, sent in a call for the reserves and shortly afterward the precinct patrol with half dozen officers arrived. The trouble was soon quieted, and Parker was taken in the patrol to Emergency Hospital, where he received first aid treatment for lacerations of the head. In the scuffle between Aufenberg and the Negroes the policeman lost his revolver and banton. DISTRICT BOY WINS SCHOOL HONORS Joseph H. Jenkins, Jr., of Washington, D.C., son of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph H.

NT REFUSES TO NEGRO HEAD ANCIS POOL CHURCH ROBBER IS CAUGHT; HE CONFESSES Second-hand Dealers Held for Receiving Stolen Goods Robert Clarence Johnson, 43 years old, an ex-convict, was arrested at Four-and-a-half street and Pennsylvania avenue, Tuesday, by Headquarters Detective Thomas J. Nally, and on charges of housebreaking in connection with the numerous church robberies of the past few weeks. The arrest of Johnson and his subsequent confession to the crimes led also to the arrest of John Vergivos, 29, of 604 Seventh street and Rumsey Siede, 38, of 115 Fourth street, both white on charges of receiving stolen goods. A large amount of the goods was found in the second-hand stores of these men. An entire room at police headquarters was required for storage space as, furniture, rugs, silverware, clocks and dishes from various local churches was recovered by police from the stores. Detectives Get Him Johnson was accosted by Detective Nally when he was seen in possession of an electric fan in the second-hand neighborhood. The man tallied with the description given by several persons who saw him entering some of the churches. At police headquarters, Johnson admitted to the robberies of many local churches. He told how he arrived here, little over a month ago from New Orleans and immediately began looting houses of worship. He said in some cases he gained entrance in the guise of a worshiper and secreted himself until the place had been vacated. In others he admitted to having forced entrance.

Illinois Girl is Crowned "Queen of Beauty" at Alhambra Theatre NELSON BEAUTY CONT'ST AWARDS ARE MADE IN N.Y. Illinois Girl is Crowned "Queen of Beauty" at Alhambra Theatre NEW YORK CITY.—One of the most interesting of the gala occasions in Harlem was the presentation ceremony at the Alhambra Theatre, June 23, when Miss Marine Ferguson, of Centralia, Illinois, was crowned Queen of Beauty, following her selection as the Nelson Girl for 1928, while Miss Celestine Holt, of Rochester, N.Y., winner of the second prize, was crowned Princess of Beauty. An enthusiastic ovation was accorded the two beautiful girls who smiled their thanks and accepted their honors with perfect poise. The two winners in the Nelson's beauty Contest, were selected from hundreds of beautiful girls from all parts of the country who sent their photographs to the Nelson Manufacturing Company of Richmond, Va., manufacturers of Nelson's Hair Dressing. Prizes Awarded Alderman George Harris, editor and publisher of the New York Negro News, was introduced by Milton Gosdorfer, manager of the Alhambra Theatre, and Alderman Harris presented the first prize of $250 in cash, and a two-weeks' contract to appear on the stage of the Alhambra Theatre, to Miss Ferguson, while Celestine Holt was presented with a cash award of $100. Because of social engagements in the West Miss Ferguson, first prize winner, relinquished her right to the theatrical engagement and this honor was conferred upon the second prize winner, Miss Holt. The Third Prize A cash prize of $50 has been sent to Lucille J. Philps, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, winner of the third prize. More than a hundred prize medals have been distributed to prize winners in various cities. The Nelson Beauty Contest has been one of the most successful efforts of its kind, and has created a great deal of comment in all parts of the country. While it has its value as a commercial enterprise, its greatest value to the race is the tremendous interest it has aroused in the art of better appearance, and the part that well-groomed hair has in the development of personal charm. PULLMAN PORTERS TO HAVE AID ASSOCIATION NEW YORK, June 29—In the national headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in New York was begun and definitely organized a sick and death aid department, according to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer. Plans for this fraternal feature of the Brotherhood have been in the making for quite some time. "Already the members," says Randolph, "are manifesting a gratifying interest in this new development of the Union. It will be made national." According to the porters' leader, there is wide-spread dissatisfaction among the porters and maids with the Pullman Porters Benefit Association which was company organized and is now company controlled, and which is being used to discourage the porters from joining the Brotherhood. With the expected rapid growth of the Brotherhood Sick and Death Aid Department, th. Pullman Porters Benefit Association is destined to pass out of existence. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, July 6, 1928 CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES OF NEGROES TO BE DIRECTED FROM HEADOUARTERS HERE LIBERIAN GOV'T. DEDICATES NEW HOSPITAL The Republic of Liberia dedicated a government hospital at Monrovia on Sunday afternoon, May 13, according to a report to the State Department by William T. Francis, United States minister resident and consul general. The State Department made this report public Monday. The buildings used for the hospital unit, Minister Francis reported, are three houses built by the German government some years ago for its cable station, residence for the officers in charge and club house for its employees. The club house is used as the hospital. It contains a large reception room, thirty beds, an operating room, a general and a dietary kitchen. In the operating room is a modern German operating table. There is, however, no X-ray machine or other electrical apparatus or equipment. Three Buildings The cable building is used as the administration building and quarters for the physicians in charge. The residence furnishes quarters for the nurses. As there is no water system in Monrovia, the report states, the hospital has no running water facilities. The site is a commanding one, Mr. Francis reports, high and overlooking Monrovia Bay and the ocean. The grounds are well laid out, and the whole offers a beautiful and picturesque view from across the bay as well as from the deck of a stream approaching the town. The staff is composed of Dr. J. A. Dingwall, superintendent; Dr. J. Abayomi Cole, assistant superintendent; Dr. W. O. Wehrle, surgeon; Miss Magdalene L. Cooper, chief nurse, and Miss Jeanneette L. Howard and Miss Lucille Todd, nurses. The chief nurse is a sister-in-law of President King. She and her two assistants received their training at Lincoln Hospital, New York City. The entire staff is Liberian except Dr. Wehrle, who is a German physician engaged in general practice. Miss Todd is a colored American, who has lived in Monrovia nearly all her life. She is the daughter of American missionaries whose lives were sacrificed in Liberia. President King Interested President King has exhibited great interest in the establishment of this hospital, Mr. Francis reports, and placed orders for much of its equipment while he was in Europe recently. There is a fairly good but small hospital operated by the Lutherans, known as Phebe Hospital, at Harrisburg, thirty-five miles from Monrovia. There is also one at Holy Cross Mission near the French border, operated by the American Episcopal Church. The National Baptist of America have in the course of construction a small hospital at Monrovia. It is not yet completed and apparently will not be for sometime. The Baptists have had a female physician, a dentist and a nurse in Monrovia for two or three months. W. C. MATTHEWS' WIDOW GETS APPOINTMENT M. C. Latta, executive clerk of the White House, has just notified Dr. Emmett J. Scott that the request filed with President Coolidge several weeks ago that Mrs. W. Clarence Matthews, widow of the late W. Clarence Matthews, special assistant to the Attorney General, be appointed to a clerical position in the classified service without regard to civil service rules, has been approved, and an executive order to that effect issued by President Coolidge. The order was issued by the President after concurrence by Postmaster General Harry S. New and his statement that he would interpose no objection to Mrs. Matthews' appointment in the Post Office department. She has been assigned to duty in New York City at a salary approximating $1,800. If proposed plans are approved by Dr. Hubert Work, the chairman of the Republican national committee, the Republican presidential campaign among colored voters this year will differ materially from campaigns of former years, it was learned Tuesday. Before leaving for Brule, Wis., where he submitted his resignation as Secretary of the Interior to President Coolidge, Dr. Work gave Horace Mann, his assistant, authority to act for him in all matters pertaining to the campaign work among colored voters. Mr. Mann will select the personnel to handle the campaign work among colored voters. He will also decide upon the course to be followed in corralling the colored vote. His actions will be subject to the approval of Dr. Work. Proposed plans call for a centering of all activities relating to colored voters in the main headquarters in Washington. There will be no colored organization, according to these plans, in either the eastern headquarters in New York or the western headquarters in Chicago. The work of organizing colored voters, publicity and the patch of campaign speakers will be carried on from the Washington headquarters. New Campaign Idea This departure from the way in which former campaigns have been conducted among colored voters is in keeping with other changes in the general plan for the campaign this year. This will be the first time that the general headquarters have been in Washington in many years. This will also be the first campaign that the full National Committee has directed in many years. No decision regarding a director of the work among colored voters has yet been reached. It is probable that Robert R. Church, (Continued on page 5) SEEK TO INCREASE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE RALEIGH, N.C.—Speaking before 4,600 teachers of North Carolina in attendance at the sixteen accredited summer schools, Lawrence A. Oxley, director, Division of Negro Work, North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, stressed the fact that during 1926-7, over 200,000 children did not attend school regularly, and that as a result, full value was not received from over $3,500,000 out of the total sum spent for elementary schools; and that through the new division of school attendance, the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare is working to see that every one of the 200,000 attend school regularly. He asserted, "The State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, which board is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the Compulsory School Attendance Law, believes that this law has too long been a passive and a negative statute, and it is working to make it a vital, dynamic force by which every child in North Carolina, regardless of color, will be guaranteed the birth-right of a minimum education." 8.020 Illiterates Mr. Oxley further stated that "according to the last Federal census, there were 8,020 Negro children in the state of North Carolina between the ages of ten and fourteen who we e illiterate. So long as a community has even one case of non-attendance, it has no right to compacility. Earnest desire and ingenuity can secure for every child a good education." Mr. Oxley reported encouraging progress in raising the $5,000 from private sources to match a gift of $5,000 from Julius Rosenwald, the total of the $10,000 to be used to finance an intensive state-wide study of Negro child life in the state. Mr. Oxley is to close his tour of summer schools for Negro teachers in North Carolina on July 9; and Friday morning, July 27, he is to be the principal speaker at the University of North Carolina.

MAN AS NEW PASTOR Select Rev. E. C. Smith Over Three Other Candidates Rev. Ernest Clarence Smith, of South Richmond, Va., was elected to the pastorate of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, northwest, last Friday night, to succeed the late Rev. M. W. D. Norman. Rev. Smith was selected over three other candidates, Rev. E. L. Harrison, Houston, Texas; Rev. D. F. Thompson, Augusta, Ga., and Rev. J. A. Bacats, Fredericksburg, Va. There were two ballots. Rev. Smith and Rev. Harrison were far ahead of the other prospects on the first ballot, and a second vote was taken. On this ballot, Rev. Smith received 251 votes and Rev. Harrison obtained 177 votes. A motion was then passed whereby Rev. Smith was made the unanimous choice. Rev. Smith was born January 16, 1897, in Cumberland County, Va., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Booker Smith. He attended the public school of that county, and was converted in August, 1911. He became a member of Tear Wallett Baptist Church in the same county at the age of 16. He acknowledged his call to the work of the gospel ministry and in October, 1913, he entered the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Va. After having been given license to preach April 25, 1915, he was ordained May 26, 1918, and at Lynchburg he completed the high school and college course with honors, graduating in 1923 with degree of bachelor of arts, and at the same time completed the major work in theology covering the Greek and Hebrew languages. Upon completion of the high school course he was called to the pastorate of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Lynchburg, Va. Though being a college student, and the church had less than forty active members when he took charge, he was able to build a membership of 350 in less than four years, and to purchase a church home valued at $10,000. In 1922, while yet a student, he was united in marriage to Miss M. Odile Davis, a graduate of the same school, a popular Virginia school teacher, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Curl Curtis, of Big Island, Va. The election of Rev. Smith brings to a close the great amount of turbulence caused by the inability of the congregation and deacon board to agree on a pastor. Rev. Norman died December 26, 1926.

WILMINGTON, N.C., July 5.—Domestic difficulties ended in the killing of Mrs. Foster Burnett by her husband, Dr. Burnett, in their home here last Monday. Dr. Burnett shot his beautiful wife four times. Dr. Burnett ascribes his act to temporary insanity. "I just went crazy for the moment," he told police, "and shot." Dr. FOSTER BURNETT His wife nagged him, he declared, and threatened to kill him. He went to his room to get his gun to lock it up, he said, and as he passed the stairs she stood at the head of the steps with a gun levled at him. The Burnetts were preparing for another trip abroad. They were to go to New York shortly. Dr. and Mrs. Burnett were married in Washington, D.C., in 1917. They had two children. Well-known Here In Washington Both Dr. Foster Burnett and his wife were well known here. Dr. Burnett graduated from the medical school of Howard university in June, 1917. He and his wife were married shortly afterwards. Before her marriage, Mrs. Burnett was Miss Gladys Gordon. She attended the Armstrong Technical High School and was considered to be one of the prettiest girls in Armstrong at that time. She quit school to marry Dr. Burnett. Her mother is Mrs. Cornelia Gordon. She lives at 1204 A M street, southwest. She left immediately for Wilmington, N.C., upon learning of the death of her daughter. Friends of the couple here say that Dr. Burnett had unsuccessfully sought a divorce. Funeral services for Mrs. Burnett were held from 1204 Carrollburg place, southwest, this (Friday) afternoon. Besides her mother and her two children, Mrs. Burnett is survived by six brothers, William, Blain, Vincent, Robert, Fred and George Gordon, and one sister, Blanche Hill. FEDERATION OF WOMEN HOSTESS TO NAT'L BODY The National Association of Colored Women, Inc., will hold its sixteenth biennial convention here from July 27 to August 3, as the guest of the Washington and Vicinity Federation of Women. The association was organized in 1896, at Washington, having as its motto, "Lifting as we climb." It was affiliated first with the National Council of Women in 1900; and later with the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association in 1916. As its motto indicates, the organization is engaged in uplift work. During the thirty-two years of its existence, it has made extraordinary strides towards success. This has been due primarily to the seven-plank platform upon which its work has been based: citizen- (Continued on page 2) IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE ROLLMENT IN AT SUMMER OPENING Announcement Made by Supervising Principal L.

LOCAL CHURCH IS GRANTED INJUNCTION A motion to dismiss the suit of injunction filed against Rev. Grover L. Davis, deposed pastor of the Second Trinity Baptist Church, Thirteenth street, between Q and R streets, northwest, was denied by Chief Justice William Hitz, Monday. Rev. Davis was named as co-defendant with Arthur T. Lewis, Laura Langhorne, and Ethel Cooper, three of the former's alleged supporters, when the trustees and deacons of the church filed the suit to prevent Rev. Davis' threatened return to the pastorate after his requested resignation several months previous. Through their attorney, Rev. Davis and his backers, filed a motion requesting the dismissal of the injunction suit. The case was aired before Judge Hitz, Saturday, and denied. Attorneys Thomas L. Jones and Royal A.

There is nothing low or degrad- ng about money that represents goods and services produced by Jabor, ideas, or capital from sav- ‘ings; commerce has been the great civilizer. Man’s struggle has been ‘to control more and more of what the produced, and the “United States” worked out a fairer meth. od of control and distribution, hence “Independence.” Picco THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY MEANS KEEPING ON THE JOB, yet our folks spend more time talking” and socializing than’ they do working; six road men, with gasoline en- gine running, stand conversing, and ten laborers talk more than thirty brick and cement workers observed in a trip about the town: The employer discounts our wages because of known habits of wast- Set these. THE OBJECTIONABLE “n——” is creeping back into use ‘again. Liberty magazine and the Red Book have recently allowed caricatures of our group to ap- Pear, and films so representing us are shown in the South. It is up to us to retaliate in kind or to Protest by voice and lack of pa- tronage. Respect yourself and you will force the other fellow to act up to the standard. * t ———___ ; THAT JIM CROW BATHING ‘ BEACH Now is the time for the colored people of this city to make it known that their wishes must be and shall be respected in matters which af- fect their group. Despite our pro- tests and the obvious racial dis- crimination put into law here in the capital of the nation—which ras just celebarted its one hundred and fifty-second anniversary of in- dependence, based upon its stand for the equality of all men—a sep- arate bathing beach has been in- stalled and is to be opened. Congress authorized the estab- lishment of the beaches, but failed to make an appropriation to put them in action, hence the law should wait upon the action of an- other Congress. So anxious are those who wish ‘to enact segregation into law, to open the beach, that they have or- ganized and secured private funds to carry out their aim. Such pro- cedure will operate to saddle ex- pense upon the people of the Dis- trict. The expense is not author- ized by law. It might be made a large amount. Similar action might operate to bankrupt the Dis- trict in some later project for which this beach vould be cited as precedent. In opposing the beach, or in re- fusing to use it when opened, we | are not only preventing the segre- | gation forced upon us, but we shall be preventing the subtle method of ‘inaugurating a movement . and | ceating expense for the taxpayers of the District, not authorized by Jaw. It is painful to see the grandson ‘of General U. S. Grant, who opened every opportunity under the federal | government to Negroes of merit prior to 1876, lending the power of his office at this day to creating a caste and class distinction based upon color, and that in Washing- ton, the capital of the Union which his distinguished grandfather did 80 much to preserve with the aid of Negro troops. 1) PROPAGANDA IN THE SCHOOLS ‘The president of the National Education Association, Mrs. C. S. Adair of Richmond, Va., sounded the keynote for the convention now in session in Minneapolis, when she urged against introducing propaganda into the schools where 20,000,000 future American citi- zens are being trained for their work of tomorrow. Of course she and the other speakers are talking about the fact that the manufacturers of electrical power | have paid for the services of people who have presented arguments in favor of private ownership of pub- lie utilities, and have directly in- fluenced the policies of certain newspapers and some text books. The American people love to become indignantly excited over some question which seems to prove somebody else is actuated by low motives. The keynote of this meeting of the education association has “Citi- zenship” as its basic idea, and reams of platitudes will be re- corded about “good Citizenship” without once referring to the basic idea of poor and inadequate facili- ties for Negro education as com- pared with w'ite, in sections where the most vicious and un-American citizenship of separate schools, ob- tains. Nobody at the convention will dare to attack the unfair and dis- criminating text books which eith- er neglect the Negro as a citizen, or which like Muzzey'’s history, used in. so many schools, includ- ing our own, presents as a reason for the “black laws of the recon- ‘struction era,” that they were en- acted in anticipation of the crimes which Negroes might commit, In 1874, Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan, speaking in the House of Representatives, on the Civil Rights Laws, pointed out that sep- arate schools for the children of American citizens was intended to implant hatred and detestation in the minds of future citizens who would express it in opposition and blood in less than two generations. He spoke in the name of justice, but the propagandists outvoted him, and we have pages of our real national history smeared with the disgraceful outcome which he prophesied. A writer in “Good Housekeep- ing,” for June, speaking of edu- cation, says: “Snobbery is blown away by the equality of rivalry. The twenty-five millions in our common schools, the four and a half millions in our high schools, and the nine hundred thousand in our colleges are infinitely more significant than our natural re- sources,” The National Education Asso- ciation with its 185,000 members grows red in the face over reported expenditure of moneys in support of private ownership of public utilities, but it is silent and color- less in respect to the far more significant phases of propaganda in favor of those “identical chances and differentiated results” which the writer sees as the main busi- ness of the schools of this nation, and which would give the Negro children of America, as their herit- age: “the right of every person to try to go upward.” CHARLES F. CARUSTI After many trials, the judges of the superior court of the District of Columbia, found a man who has made an ideal head of the trustees of the interests of the children, the people and the teachers of the public schools. In Charles F. Ca- tusi, re-elected head of the board of education, we have had a man who was courageous enough to separate the desirable from the undesirable among the many prop- ositions put before his body, and who thought and expressed him- ‘self so clearly that his opinions were accepted without color or re- crimination. Under the administration of ‘Mr. Carusi, the community has had ‘unity in the board without sugges |tion of suppression of opinion or ‘cajolery, it has seen the system |zrow and become more modern without fads or aggregation of ee into the administrative ma- chinery, and it has found that higher and higher types of citi zens have been willing to serve |the community in what has all too frequently been a thankless. and [responsible position. | The board of education is to be [congratulated in again selecting Mr_ Carusi to head its delibera. tions, and the people are proud of the cure given to its most saereé trust, the improvements and growth made in its physical equpiment and the increasing devotion mani- fest by a corps of teachers which itself constantly grows to better ‘perform its tasks. : _ “The schools,” says a recent writer, “are America’s biggest and most important business,” and those who are the trustees for any section of that business, especially at the nation’s capital, hold a post of no mean or narrow influence.

Thomas <i a = aie “No class has ever had improved conditions handed to it on a silver platter.” ~ Not until every single mother's son and daughter of this race re- acts to that truth as sure!y as they do to their names, shall we be ir position to measure our actual pro: gress here in America, the land of opportunity—to get what one wants. We have tried the way of loyalty, and we have found that those to whom we have given the great de- votion of our lives and services, die physically and politically, and their heirs feel no claim incumbent upon them. From its earliest beginnings this Jand has received the benefit of our laboring and our fighting arms, yet the nation which we have laid down our lives to save and to defend, allows us to te set apart like lepers in segregited schools, fed- eral bureaus, classifications and ap- propriations, and condones our cur- tailed rights under the Constitu- tion. We have tried the way of thrift through sweated labor at lower wages than those paid to any simi- lar body of workers, yet we are rebbed and exploited by higher rents for the same and inferior shelter, and the same rates for un- equal transportation in those sec- tions. where we have enabled the people to material advance over our bended backs and palsied man- hood. As ultimate consumers, we have burhe the burdens of taxation and high prices which maintain Ameri- can standards of living, yet we have been denied equal chances at education under state auspices, and where it has been given grudging- ly and in abbreviated forms—in Places where we are most nu- merous as natives of the soil— we have been given a special train- ing devised not to release the spirit of American manhood, but to make us better hewers of wood and bear- ers of toilsome burdens, under po- litieal serfdom. ‘We have heard justice heralded and seen its trusteeship held by those who made proud boast of the probity of their words and sacred- ness of their bond, yet we have been done to death by cowardly mobs and held in virtual slavery under peonage, without rediess. Following the trend of the American people into their church- es, we have inoreathed the morality and hope of the Christian religion, while we poured forth the edifica- tion of our spirits in soul-stirring songs and restrained our reactions with the patience of the Lamb of Calvary, yet we have seen the church divided over our state of bondage and found our religious inclinations used as a snare for our civic and material undoing. Adopting the responsibilities and | ties of the home as the unit of the whole at which the national patriot- ism aims, we have had our families invaded by lust, and our lives and fortunes dependent upon our re- sistance or complacency; generally among those whose spoken pride is in reverance for womanhood. Thinking our way out, we are denied consideration except when we confine our conclusions to our own peculiar problems; and, giving expressions to our ideals through the arts, we are criticised with reservations, or with pity, at our poor imitations of the works of white men and women. Rising from obscurity by unpre- cedented labors, in two genérations, and overcoming almost insuperable obstacles in the climb, proving by so much that we have imbibed and inherited the American idea of pro- gress, we have been met with mre determined opposition at every stage in our advance, and by snuts, sneers and neighberhood proscrip- tion at every evidence of a desire ant i. a THE WASHINGTON.

Grey, entitled, “Black White List and White Black List,” ap- pearing in the April 14 issue of the New York News; and to the reproduction of same point of wew by W. E. B. Dubois in his June issue of the Crisis. These views held that William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and John Brown were men to be classed with Clarence Darrow as free- thinkers. WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON William Lloyd Garrison was a Christian, nevertheless, he had pro- slavey enemies, in the churches and out of the churches, who branded him as an infidel. This may have ‘been due, in. partat least, to the fact, that, when he had been fined and’ imprisoned, at Baltimore, be- ‘cause of his denunciation of the in- stitution of slavery, and no’ other lecture platform was offered to him, he accepted that offered to him by a group of infidels at Boston, ‘Mass., and made the world listen to his powerful utterances against the institution of slavery. But, in do- ing so, he never failed to let his infidel friends know that he was a Christian, (See American Cyclo- pedia, Vol. 7, page 629.) Prior to the time of his’ Boston lecture, Garrison wa associated with one of the: most saintly of ‘men, Benjamin Lundy, in the con- duct of “The Genius of Universal Freedom.” Of Lundy an able writ- er speaks a8 follows: “The nineteenth century can scarcely point to another instance in which the command of Christy to leave all things and follow him, was so literally construed and fol- lowed. Lundy gave up his flour- ishing business, took Jeave of his wife and of his two dearly beloved children, and began a restless, wandering life, to arouse conscien- ee. everywhere to a deoper under. standing of the sin and curse of slavery. In the autumn of 1829, he obtained, as associate publisher of his sheet, William Lloyd Garri- son, a young literateur, born in Newhberyport, Massachusetts.” (See “History for’Ready Reference,” by J.N. Larned, Vol. 4, page 2928.) It was the work’ of these two Quakers, Lundy and Garrison, that moved the Southland to wrath and threatenings, thirty years before John Brown went to his death from love and service to the American slave. However, neither of them believed in doing violence to free the slave. I cite the story of Benjamin Lundy here, to show that in his wrk for the abolition of slavery, Garrison joined hands with infidels and Christians, but ever with a true heart to his blessed Lord and Savior. Perhaps few men know Garrison more intimately ‘than Frederick Douglass. Like the apostles of old, who were with Jesus of Nazareth three years before they were sent forth to disciple the nations, Doug- lass read The Liberator, and heard the soul-stirring lectures of Garri- son for three years before he, as a fugitive slave, became the wit- ness-bearer to the world of what he knew, from living experience, of the iniquities and horors of the institution of slavery, in the United States of America. In Douglass’ autobiography, “My Bondage and Freedom,” printed at New York and Auburn, in 1855, Douglass speaks of Garrison as follows: “Seventeen years ago, few men possessed a more heavenly countenance than William Lloyd Garrison, and few men evinced a more genuine or a more exalted piety. The Bible was his text book —hele sacred; as the world of the Eternal Father—sinless perfection —complete submission to insults and injuries—literal obedience to the injunction, if smitten on one side to turn the other also, Not only was Sunday a Sabbath, but all days were Sabbaths, and to be kept holy.” (Page 354.) T need add only this one word, If Garrison was not a Christian— a-Christian of the most Christ-like kind—there has never lived a Christian in all the world, durine FLOYD CALVIN VISITS CITy Floyd Calvin, newspaper corres- pondent and columnist on the Pittsburgh Courier, was a visitor ha We cle this wok. | KIDDIES’ CORNER x f. = a <2 e/a. is y My uncle can argue all the time, ‘From morning until night; He argues when he knows he’s wrong And more si when he’s right.

GRANT REFUSES TO APPOINT NEGRO (Continued from page 1) planation of the selection of Kimball declared that Captain M. H Parsons, chief of the Welfare and Recreational Association, into whose hands the power to appoint a head for the pool had been placed, chose the white man because he believed him to be the best fitted for the job. The pool, which Captain Parsons reported to Lieutenant-Colonel Grant would require approximately $700 monthly for its upkeep, was turned over to a concessionaire, the Welfare and Recreational Association, a private organization, which association has charge of the golf course, government cafeteria and other concessions for the maintenance of which Congress makes no appropriation. Operated as a concession, admission charges will be placed on swimmers. This income must be handled by the pool manager, and inasmuch as the management of the receipts is expected to be a "big job" by Captain Parsons, according to his statement to a Tribune reporter, last Wednesday, the white applicant for the position was selected over H. K. Howerton, Negro candidate. Protest Meeting Held Immediately it was known that Kimball had been picked for the position, meetings were called at the local office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 1017 U street, northwest, and a formal protest, citing general disbelief in the principle of segregation, resentment at reflection on the capability for management among colored people by appointment of a white manager for the pool, enforcement of segregation by the office of public profits from this segregation was parks and the attempt to extract profits fro mthis segregation was drawn up. Lieutenant-Colonel Grant, Tuesday, told the delegation of Negroes that no racial discrimination had entered the action, and that the selection of Kimball was not influenced by prejudice. Attorney Parker then told the director that regardless of whether or not discrimination had played a part in the action of his office, the appointment of a white man to supervise a place exclusively; patronized by colored people was decidedly objectionable to the Negro population. A Vague Promise The conference was concluded with a promise on the part of the director to supplant Kimball by another in the event that the white man proves incapable of managing the project. Such a promise showed that the director has little or no respect for the weight of sentiment presented by the Negro group, and that he stands behind Captain Parsons in the latter's determination to have a white superintendent over the pool built by Congress for Negro bathers. The promise, at its 'ace value, is a mere gesture to offset the apparent determined fight of the Negro protestants, which so far has made a fight in vain. In many quarters, the opinion reigns that a complete boycott together with picketing operations should be the next move.

HIGH SCHOOL ENROLL- TUSKEGEE, Ala—The June- July issue of the Bulletin of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools will carry the third annual study of four-year State Accredited High Schools for Negroes in the South to be made by W. A. Robinson, associate edi- tor of the Bulletin. The gitst of these reports appeared in the June, 1926, issue of the Bulletin and showed that there were in 1924- 25 in the 16 southern states only 63 four-year state accredited high schools for Negro children, The number for 1925-26 was 204 as shown in the second report in the June-July issue of the Bulletin for 1927. The report now on the press indicates that for 1926-27 the num- ber rose to 251. It is encouraging to note that the present number for 1926-27 shows a gain of 47 or 23 per cent over 1925-26, and in the two-year period since 1924-25 a gain of 88 or 54 per cent. The largest number is in North Carolina but the most adequate provision for high school facilities for Negroes seems to be in West Virginia. Two years ago at least one state did not accredit Negro high schools at all. Now all of the states have arranged for accredit- ment though there are still. two, Alabama and South Carolina, that have not yet had a Negro school to meet the state requirements for a four-year high school. There are indications that the 1927-28 report may tell a different story from Ala- bama. Probably the most encour- aging statement in Mr, Robinson's report is the fact that 10 Negro high oe have been accredited bggthree nal Associations an that'the matter of at least rating and encouraging Negro high schools has been given favorable consideration by the Commission or Secondary Schools of the South- ern Association, The most. dis- ouraging statement in the report is tha: for a white population a- hout three times as Inrge there are in-only-14-of the 16 states, 4,760 such schools or about 19 times as many in numbers and with slight comparison in size and equipment. ‘This disparity in provision for the two races in the south in school fa- cilities is resting more and more heavily upon the public conscience both in the South and in the Na- ion. pean eae HOUSE, 2420 Eye st., nw., 4 Tooms, good yard, newly papered and painted. $25.00 monthly, Ap- ply W.

THIS WEEK'S SERMON WHAT THE GRACE OF GOD DOES FOR US "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain."—1 Cor. 15:10. The perfect home has yet to be built and it will most likely never be built. For houses will settle, will show cracks, and the wear and tear of the years will leave their marks. And aside from repairs, where is the home owner who hasn't certain improvements in mind for increasing the comfort, beauty or convenience of his home? No investment in all the world could be sounder nor more certain of Exterior and Interior Painting. Painting at regular intervals should not be considered as an item of expense, but as a most wise investment. It preserves your property and may save you many times its cost in repairs and replacements. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, July 6, 1928 rest the Christians whom he might find worshipping Jesus. But, as he entered into the discussion setting forth the truth of the resurrection, he digressed to give glory and honor to the grace of God for what it had done for him. He thus speaks in the language of the text, "But by the grace of God I am what I am." Every biblical student will agree with Paul, after a retrospective view of his life before he was converted to the Christian faith, that the grace of God had changed him. For we know that every inch of his being was that of a strict Pharisee, and that he was determined and ready to die for the traditions of his fathers. The persecution of the Christians was an evidence of the zeal that he had for his Pharisaic faith The grace of God transforms an individual, and even a world. Saul is first mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles in connection with the stoning to death of Stephen. It was there, while he looked upon this servant of God die, as he was stoned to death, that he was filled with zeal to persecute the Christians. Here we see Saul, an enemy and persecutor of the church; midway between Jerusalem and Damascus we see him a penitent sinner begging for mercy; at Damascus we see him a new man transformed by the grace of God. He is no longer Saul the Pharisee, but he is now Paul, the new man. He wrote in 2 Cor. 5:17.18. "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ." Thus we see that it is no power of our own that transforms us, but it is the divine power. Society in all nations throughout the world has been transformed by the power of the grace of God. Laws have been enacted which prevent plural marriages, and the establishing of red light districts in our cities; the eighteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States prohibits the sale or manufacturing of any intoxicating beverages; secular and Christian schools have been established for the training of the youth; hospitals and asylums have been built to care for the sick and unfortunate; charitable organiza- Easy Terms (1) INSTALL ALL MODERN PLUMBING Modern Plumbing is Something the Whole Family Will Enjoy. Possibly you have a small sleeping room which you would like converted into a nice large bathroom with tile floors and side walls and upto-date plumbing fixtures. tions have been formed to care for the suffering and needy. for farming and leisure. Environments and conditions have been made better everywhere for the laboring class of people. Housing facilities have been mightily improved in the last decade. It was the grace of God that lighted the torch that started the flame of the abolition of slavery burning in the hearts of those immortal Bostonians that soon swept the country, resulting in a civil war, which ended in the liberation of four and a half millions Negroes from slavery. The World's War gave liberty to more smaller nations throughout the world than ever before. The grace of God preserves our lives and saves our souls. "For by grace are ye saved through faith." An individual soul may be saved and yet the life of the same individual can be lost. The thief who was dying on the cross, said unto Jesus, "remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom." Jesus said, "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise." The thief's soul was saved, but his life was lost. Any life is lost that continues under the controlling influence of sin. The grace of God does not save an individual unless faith is exercised in God. God does not save people against their will. The grace of God acts upon the lives of individuals who will to be saved, and make their lives useful to humanity. Grace is a disinfectant, it purifies and cleanses the mind from selfishness, hatred, malice, prejudice, covetousness, and the desire to commit murder. The soul that has been preserved by the grace of God has the blessed assurance, that it shall not taste death. Jesus Christ made death give up its sting, and after laying in the grave three days rose victorious over the grave.

MINISTERS PRAISE HAMPTON CONFERENCE Several ministers of the various denominations have returned from the annual ministers' conference which was held at Hampton Institute, June 25 to 29. This is reported to have been perhaps the most helpful of these annual gatherings yet held. The contact with the more than a thousand teacher-students of the summer school now in session at Hampton was one of the very helpful aspects of the conference, while the lectures and courses were most inspiring and instructive. More than four hundred ministers were in attendance. RALLY FOR WARRENTON SCHOOL The First Baptist Church of Warrenton, Va., raised its entire quota in the interest of the building and expansion program of the Warrenton Training School on last Sunday. The church's quota was $100. The Willing Workers Club, of the church conducted the drive and turned in $101 last Sunday night, thus making the first church in the county to raise its entire quota. Regular services next Sunday with communion in the evening, will be held at this church. VISITING MINISTERS AT SALEM On last Sunday morning, the pulpit of the Salem Baptist Church was filled by the pastor, Rev. R. D. Grymes. In the afternoon, Rev.

One will be in charge of organizing colored voters, another on the needs of the Howard University School of Religion. On last Monday, Rev. W. A. Gray, president, addressed the conference on "The Economic and Industrial Status of the Negro." At this meeting the conference appointed a committee to co-operate with other religious and civic organizations in protesting the white management of the municipal bathing pool for colored bathers. MINISTERS TO VISIT Rev. D. D. Davis, a Presbyterian minister of Hopewell, Va., is confined at Freedmen's Hospital under the care of Dr. Michel O. Dumas. He would appreciate calls from the clergy of the city. EBENEZER CHURCH MAGIC BRING POW ```markdown ``` DO YOU NEED NEW GUTTERS? will have charge of the speakers' bureau, and the third will conduct the publicity. These assistants will be given assistants to aid them. The director will also be given an advisory committee. In the selection of the members of this advisory committee, an effort will be made to placate all warring factions by giving them representation. As the National Committee will conduct the campaign, Perry W. Howard, national committeeman for Mississippi, is expected to have a prominent part in the work among colored votes. He may also be made a member of the advisory committee. Dr. Moton is expected to be put on the advisory committee, as will also be Mr. Hawkins and Dr. Scott. Other members of the advisory committee will be appointed upon the suggestion of the national committeemen. No one will be appointed without the approval of the national committeeman of his state. Campaign Starts in August The selection of a personnel to handle the campaign work among colored voters will probably be concluded by July 20. The campaign will get under way August 1. One of the three assistants, who will handle the organization work, speakers' bureau and publicity, will probably be named by Dr. Moton. Dr. Scott may be given the selection of one of the assistants, and Mr. Howard may be allowed to name one. Each state organization will largely run the campaign in its state. It is planned that the only direction of campaign work that the national committee will exercise will be for the purpose of coordinating national and state activities. The national committee will meet here the latter part of July or the first of August to approve the actions of the executive committee at its recent meeting here. Dr. Meton was here last Friday and conferred with Mr. Hoover. Murray H. Threadgill, accompanied by his family, has just returned from his home, Marshville N.C., where he was called at the death of his mother. 8 DON'T TOLERATE A LEAKY ROOF A Leaky Roof is the First Symptom of Trouble.

ORIENTALS MEET SOX On Sunday, July 8, the champion Oriental Tigers will meet Simon Sheffield’s fast stepping Washing- ton Black Sox in a doubleheader at Union League Park, first game statting at 2:30 p.m. As will be remembered, this is the second meeting of these old rivals this season. ‘The first meet- ing, which was May 30, saw the ehesty Sox take both ends of a doubleheader. ‘The Orientals start- ‘ed the season with much of their 1927 form, but after winning eight straight games, the whole team with the exception of three or four, fell into a batting slump. Last Sunday, however, the Orien- tals gave reason to believe they have emerged from this eng by shelling three LeDroit Tiger moundsmen to swamp that team, 14 to0. Manager Mac Adams will have Biackfoot Seriver, Scrip Lee, Red Powell, and himself ready for mound duty, and from recent, per- formances each one of these fling- ers will be ready to give @ good account. of himself. ee PIEDMONTS TROUNCE ALEXANDRIA NATS AVY Cilk.—Tfhe local boys did their stuff nicely. ‘On Sunday, July 1;~+the fast travelling Piedmonts ' vanquished the Nationals of Alexandria by the ‘score of 11-3.

Here is a gigantic Negro, young: enough, big enough and strong enough to be able to whip any man in the world, Be he teen Mood ight game long mastered every Snsle of it, and yet aside from a few mediocre per- formances he bas a bean a huge dis- appointment in the ring. Bor sevegel years, now, Godfrey has been Reld as @ “menace” to the heavyweight champion. True enough, he never has. been the threat, that his predecessors have been, but nevertheless he has been & threat. But in the case of God- frey he has not been a threat be- cause he was so good, but because he happens to be the only Negro heavyweight about right now. Godfrey doesn't measure § ony: where near the standard set by the it Hs, fighters who preceed fim. In fact, the Negro in boxing right now is pretty far below pre- vious standards so far as fighting ability is concerned. Bruce Flow- ors can’t be mentioned in the same breath with the great Joe Gans. Al Brown couldn't hold a candle to the marvelous little George Dixon, and yet these two are about the best of their race now a:tive in the ring. Great Ones of Other Years What would a Peter Jackson do among the present crop of heavy- weights? What would « Sam Lang. ford or a Jack Johnson do? And when I think of fighters like Joo Gans, nee Dixon, Joe Walcott, Jack Blackburn, I can’t help but wonder what has happened to make such a change in the class of Negro Up till thé present time there always has been at least one Negro fighter who stood out as actually eee times he was in the ightweight class, other times the welterweight, and in other years the flyweight, or featherweight, or middleweight’ or the heavyweight class, But today there ix not a Negro who can be serloutly con. ‘sidered as @ real contender for the title in his class. Godfrey gained a big reputation as a fighter paesty much in the same manner that Harry Wills did —simply because most of the white heavyweights, or their managers, refused to take a chance with him.

LINCOLN THEATRE Occasionally a picture comes along that, through some new twist or some novel method of treatment, causes the jaded movie fans to sit up and take notice. Such a picture is "The Road to Ruin," which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre the entire week, beginning Sunday, July 8. In addition to being wonderful entertainment, and a story of compelling interest. "The Road to Ruin" deals with a subject that is close to the heart of every normal American—the welfare of girls—and as such, it has been endorsed by juvenile authorities and police all over the country. From their trip down the primrose path that leads to the "Road to Ruin" until the final fadeout, there is not one uninteresting moment and the audiences sit spellbound. Rarely in the history of the screen has a picture been so beautifully cast and perhaps never has a subject dealing with such a delicate topic as sex delinquency been so cleverly handled. The thrill-seeker will get his full quota of emotion, the sensation-seeker will not be disappointed, yet the thoughtful will leave the theatre feeling that they have been seen a masterly presentation of the most serious problem facing the American people today. "The Road to Ruin" is the reckless story of a delinquent girl with jazz and gin, sex and sensuality, cars parked on shady lanes, sporty roadhouses, wild strip poker parties as its headlights, which graphically illustrates the terrible results of parental neglect and ignorance in the handling of modern youth. "The Road to Ruin" is up to the minute, and as Sally Canfield, exotic Helen Foster, a new screen luminary, gives as astonishingly realistic portrayal of the errant flapper. Others of especial note in the cast are vivacious Virginia Roye, Grant Withers, Tommy Carr, Florence Turner and Charles Miller. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday only, in addition to the showing of "The Road to Ruin," there will also be shown the amazing novelty, Fox Movietone News. You can hear as well as see the latest news events of the day. The Vitaphone presentations for the entire week will be Ned Weyburn and his Vitaphone girls in a novel Chinese dance creation; Bailey and Barnum, sensational banjo artists, in one of the latest musical treats; and Hyams and McIntyre in a short Vitaphone satire, "All for fun." REPUBLIC THEATRE "The Escape," one of the most gripping underworld melodramas of the season, will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July18; 9, 10 and 11. Gang warfare, bootleg rings, underworld dives and rings of crime from which there is seldom an escape for the unfortunate victim, is the theme of this daring expose of New York night life. You'll see two sisters fighting a lone hand against sinister forces who seek to destroy them. Virginia Valli has the leading feminine role appearing as the hostess of the Blue Moon, a gilded night club owned and operated by the underworld leader, Jerry Magee, potrayed by William Russell. One of the most exciting moments in "The Escape" is the fight between rival mobs of gunmen in the night club. Zane Grey's great story of the west, "Open Range," will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 12, 13 and 14. Fred Kohler, "the wolf of the screen," who has appeared in numerous pictures with George Bancroft, has the leading role in "Open Range." It is a story of the cattle country, done in Zane Grey's own style. Cowbys, rustlers, Indians—all are in "Open Range" with the most thrilling climax this type of picture has ever had. A great array of Vitaphone acts will be shown for the entire week. Headlining is Blossom Seely, the Queen of Syncopation, assisted by Bennie Fields. Miss Seely has been a headliner in vaudeville for years and has a way of putting over songs that is all her own. Her rendition of "Call of the South" is alone worth going a long way to hear. Two pianists accompany Miss Seely and Fields. The second Vitaphone act to be shown is Hobart Bosworth in the dramatic sketch entitled "A Man of Peace." Hobart Bosworth has long been seen upon the screen, but this is the first opportunity had to hear him speak. Closing this great program will be the novelty act of the Arnault Brothers billed as the Famous Loving Birds. They offer singing and whistling specialties in an original way. HOWARD THEATRE The mid-summer attraction at the Howard Theatre for the week beginning Monday, July 9, will be Drake & Walker's all new musical creation. The patrons of Washington have always looked upon this clever team as bringing them a good show and this time they will not be disappointed, as they are bringing something entirely new for the enjoyment of their patrons and friends. It seldom that such an attraction as this is brought to town during the summer months but the show is so good that the management hates to make the public wait until the fall season. Hence, it will be shown for one week only, beginning Monday, July 9. On the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen the most entertaining mystery drama, "13 Washington Square," a Universal picture, co-starring Jean Hersholt and Alice Joyce. This production was directed by Melville Brown. The notable supporting cast includes Zasu Pitts, Helen Jerome Eddy, Jack McDonald, and Jerry Gamble. From the moment Glenna Marsh raps on the door of the isolated hunting cabin in the woods to seek shelter from the storm until she is released from the scaffold in the prison yard there is not a dull moment in "The Sirens," which will be shown on the screen, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Dorothy Revier has the title role and presents a charming siren of the type which fascinates the men and draws forth catty remarks from members of her own sex. "The Siren" is a picture which may be recommended to those who enjoy tense action and want to forget their own troubles. BROADWAY THEATRE In keeping with the spirit of the times it seems as though every theatre must be the home of something, so the Broadway Theatre might with strict propriety call itself the "Home of colored pictures." For the entire week beginning Sunday, July 8, the Broadway will show for the first time in Washington, "The Midnight Ace," with an all-star colored cast headed by A. B. Decomathiere and supported by Mabel Kelly, Susie Sutton, William Edmondson, Walter Cormick, Charles Martin, Clarence Penalver, Edward Day, Anthony Gaytzra, and Pete Smith. The story deals with the love of a young girl for a master crook. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. July 6. 1928 HOWARD THEATRE His rival is a young detective and the manner in which the young detective attempts to show the crooks detective attempts to show the crook's sensational escape from the court room and his death when his car goes over the cliff, go to make this the most sensational colored picture ever produced. GARDENS HAS BIG HOLIDAY CROWD Over 10,000 people visited Suburban Gardens, Wednesday — they came, they saw, they were pleased. The aerial act is out of the ordinary. To see two men whirl around in two large hoops high above the heads of the spectators is a thrill that doesn't come often. Although the park has a large free parking space inside the grounds, there were hundreds of automobiles parked outside of the grounds. Their headlights, the Large flood lights, and the thousands of small display electric lamps, shedding their lights on the varied colors of the women's clothes made the park a sight beautiful to see. Tonight and Saturday are the only two times that the aerial act can be seen. On Sunday evening a new act is presented. ANNUAL MUSIC RECITAL A SUCCESS At the annual recital by the pupils of Eya Virginia Johnson, from classes in piano and voice, Thursday and Friday evenings, June 28 and 29, in John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, a very artistic program was presented. The pupils showed excellent training. Special mention should be made of the splendid technique, brilliant rendition, and remarkable memorizing of the work of both programs. Attorney Archibald S. Pinkett, secretary of the District Branch of the N.A.A.C.P., made the address and presented the certificates to pupils in piano, from the intermediate class. Mrs. Nona Rachel Walker received a certificate. She took a full course in piano. Pupils receiving certificates from the intermediate class in piano were Ruth Brannum, Kate Cavanaugh, Frances Edmonds, Marion Gatewood, Moncerie Jackson, Louise Pinkett, and Vivian Twitty. Rev. O. L. Rand, pastor of Trinity A. M.E. Zion Church of this city, offered the invocation and pronounced the benediction. STANDARD OIL CO. EMPLOYS NEGROES NEW YORK CITY.—The Standard Oil Company of Indiana has recently instituted the policy of employing Negroes in its gas filling stations. This company operates in a section of the middle west in which Negroes live in large numbers. Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are so situated, and in each one of these cities, with the probable exception of Detroit, colored men are employed. In Chicago they are in exclusive charge of two filling stations; in St. Louis one; and in Minneapolis one; and employed as attendants in Springfield, Illinois and Kansas City, Missouri. They also operating four greasing stations in Chicago. These jobs are the result of an appeal to Colonel Robert W. Stewart, president of the company by the National Urban League through its industrial relations department some months ago. The League used one company's successful operation of its only station then manned by Negroes to prove that the use of Negroes would not cause a decrease in business; but on the contrary would stimulate business from Negroes. In the case of this station the general physical appearance so improved under Negro attendants and the business so increased that it is one of the best in St. Louis. Prizes have been awarded to it for external appearance and volume of business. BEN DAVIS SUMMONED BEFORE SUB-COMMITTEE The subcommittee of the Senate committee on post offices and post roads will begin its hearings in the Senate investigation of the alleged sale of Federal patronage on July 9. The first hearings will be held in Atlanta, Ga. The subcommittee has had summoned to appear, Monday, Benjamin Jefferson Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent and former Republican national committeeman for Georgia; Roscoe C. Pickett, state chairman, and John W. Martin, treasurer of the Republican state central committee. They were ordered to bring their books with them. Senator Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, will act as chairman of the subcommittee. He will be assisted by Senator Locher, Democrat, of Ohio. The Georgia Senators, Harris and George, Democrats, introduced the resolution which passed the Senate calling for an investigation into the alleged sale of Federal patronage. They charged that the Republican state organization in Georgia had exacted contributions from Federal officeholders.

EDMONSON, EDWARD DAY CLARENCE PENALVER, WALTER CORNICK, ROBERTA BROWN AN EXTRAORDINARY MELODRAMA HAS BROKEN RECORDS EVERYWHERE --- Attorney Armond W. Scott. Joseph was taken into custody by police of the Thirteenth Precinct, last Saturday night, on complaint of Alice King, maid at 3411 Thirty-fourth street, northwest, who phoned precinct officers that she was being harassed by a man who was standing in front of the house threatening her with bodily harm. When policemen arrived they found Josephs standing in front of the place armed with a meat knife. He was taken to the station house and the charges were lodged against him. Attorney Scott cited a case in which two men had been heard making plans for the robbery of a bank, and that when searched one of them was found to be in possession of a revolver. The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in that case that the gun was not to be admitted as evidence. On these grounds, Mr. Scott declared, the court had no right to accept the knife as evidence in the "threat" charge against Josephs. Mr. Scott then proved that the alleged "threats" were merely a part of a telephone conversation DARK SKINS Brightened! You can now have the exact shade of lovely light complexion you want.

Abbott's summer coaching school has interest just as kex as it was on the first day that the school opened, June 4. The course of instruction is varied enough to eliminate monotony. Much must be gained by the students during the five weeks the coaching school is in session so every minute of the time is devoted to serious discussions and demonstrations involving every phase of athletics. Attention this week was directed to "Knotty Problems in Baseball," "The Daily Seasonal Program for the Football Team," "Training for Track," "Games for All," (emphasizing in particular, exercises for men and women, before and after work hours), as well as other recreational activities. The growth of athletics in the colored schools in the South has created a demand for competent men and women to teach physical training so Tuskegee undertook the matter of meeting this need by es- tablishing a summer school for coaches. In addition to taking the work in physical education and athletics several of the coaches are enrolled in the Scoutmasters' course thereby thoroughly equipped for recreation by becoming thoroughly equipped for recreational service. FRANCIS POOL TO OPEN JULY 14 The new swimming pool adjoining the grounds of the Francis Junior High School is scheduled to open Saturday morning, July 14, at 10 o'clock. The swimming facilities include two pools. A large pool, 150 feet by 60 feet, which is $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet deep at each end tapering to 11 feet deep in the middle, and a smaller pool for children, 75 feet, 14 inches deep at one end and tapering to $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet at the other. Mixed swimming will be allowed at all times, and there is a capacity for between 300 to 400 people. The pool will be open all day and if flood lights are installed there will be night swimming. The water is kept sanitary by an excellent triplet unit filterer with chlorinator and acid neutralizer. It is continuous circulation and probably replaces its entire volume once a day. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, July 6, 1928 A low maintenance charge must be paid, but this will be reduced as soon as the patronage of the pool is large enough to warrant it. PIEDMONT TEAM HAS SMART ROSTER By "Nute" Jackson Nite Jackson The Piedmont A.C. which is well up in second place in Class B in the Washington Tribune Baseball League boasts of a group of fighting and spirited youngsters. This year the Piedmonts, which formerly travelled under the name of the Myrtle Prep A.C., has been a thorn in the side of sandlot teams in and around Washington, but has never been able to reach its full strength. Now, however, with the change of name the team seems to have changed its luck for although they got off to a bad start tey first gathered headway and now boast of an average of .833, having won 5 games and lost but 1. With the hard hitting Adams on first, Barham guarding the keystone sack, Plater cavorting in short, and Carter taking care of the hot corner, the Piedmont have a well balanced infield. Stand-back and Blake are hurling unbeatable ball at present and should they continue their streak through the summer the Piedmont will cop the Class B bunting when Mr. Fall brings the season to a close. The roster follows: The roster follows: C. Powell, B. Coleman, B. Ashfort, J. Wood, H. Armstrong, L. Mose, P. Bridgetford, C. Johnson, and F. Sabbs, outfielders; L. Barham, J. Plater, A. Carter, G. Adams, and C. Givens, infielders; J. Twyman and L. Shepherd, catchers; C. Braggs, C. Blake, R. Anderson, G. Robinson, and J. Thomas, pitchers. BARRY FARM NEWS At a joint meeting of the deacons and trustees of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, held at the church Monday night, the proposal of Trustee Leslie Talieroff, urging the building of a church parsonage to house the family of the pastor, Rev. J. C. Banks, was unanimously approved. The parsonage will be erected on the site owned by the church on Shannon place. The cost is estimated to be about $10,000. Grant Greenfield, former owner of the Barry Farm Municipal Playground site, died Friday, June 29. Funeral services were held, Monday, July 2, from St. Cyprian Catholic Church, with requiem mass. For many years Mr. Greenfield was employed as a clerk in the City Post Office, and operated the old Eureka Picnic Park. ciation will hold a reception Tuesday, July 10, at 8:30 o'clock.

Gourdin, who was the first man to leap 25 feet and formerly national broad jump champion, is said to be of the opinion that with conscientious training he can not only better his old mark, but can also make a strong bid to surpass the record of DeHart Hubbard, former Michigan star trackster, and present holder of the distance leap.

Richard F. Ware, Prop. Phone Annapolis 1855-F5 With the injury to Hubbard's ankle, Gourdin's return will be welcomed with open arms, because although the present champion in his first attempt after his recovery did 23 feet, there is no certainty of his being able to stand up under the constant strain. Prior to Gourdin's record breaking leap in 1923, the broad jump record had stood for twenty years. At that time the Crimson flash was hailed by sports writers the country over as a phenom. His mark, they expected, would stand for many years, but Hubbard came through to better it twice.
