SEVEN DOCTORS REQUIRED TO TREAT ACCIDENT VICTIMS Perry W. Howard Denies Guilt----Welcomes Trial FIRST in Advertising and Circulation Vol. VIII, No. 9 SEVEN Perry SEVERAL HURT IN ACCIDENT Three Cars Figure in Unusual Accident Below T.B., Md. BABY ESCAPES UNHURT Seven Doctors Required to Administer to Those Who are Wounded The grinding of wheels on a sand road, the screeching of breaks—a crash—the clatter of broken glass—three automobiles, laden with happy people, fugitives from the capital's heat, had crashed. Out of the wreckage, strewn over the highway, came suddenly the wall of a baby, barely turned 6 months of age, from directly beneath the largest of the three cars. Frantic search resulted in the infant being lifted from a mud-hole into which it had fallen after being hurtled through the open window of the car. Jacqueline Griffin, had experienced her first automobile accident and escaped unscathed. The mishap occurred on Maryland State highway just below T-B, Md., up uidyard, Sunday, John Hudnell, 49, of 1604 Thirteenth street, northwest, was the driver of the car in which he, his wife, Rose B, 45; three daughters, Ruth H, Griffin, 24, Marion, 13, and Elaine 7; his son-in-law, John Griffin, 24, and his infant grandchild, Jacqueline Griffin were en route to their summer home at Eagle Harbor, Md. Car Sideswiped On the sand and gravel road just south of T-B, the Hudnell car was collided with by a large touring car bound for Washington, driven by Sufford Brinkley, white, 1214 O street, northwest. Brinkley, in an attempt to pass a third car also (Continued on page 2) POLICEMEN SUSPENDED AS RESULT OF COM-PLAINT While investigating a complaint ledged against Policeman R. J. Bryant (white), of the Second Precinct by Mrs. Bertha Barker Johnson, of 1526 New Jersey avenue, officers from the precinct found Bryant in company with Policeman W. C. Hendley in a house in the 1500 block of New Jersey avenue. At the time, the officers had their coats and caps off and a bottle of whiskey was on a nearby table. The two men were immediately suspended from the force. Mrs. Johnson filed her complaint against Bryant because of alleged statements made to her as she was passing through Franklin street. The complaint was made to the captain at the precinct station. Sergeant Holmes was dispatched to make an investigation and found the officer off his beat. SEEKS DIVORCE AND ALIMONY Mary Rhodes, 247 N street, northwest, filed suit for absolute divorce and maintenance against her husband, Alonza L. Rhodes, 826 Forty-eighth street, northwest, early this week. Mrs. Rhodes, in her bill, declares that following their marriage in Baltimore, Md., on November 7, 1920, her husband treated her with incessant cruelty climaxed by his having shot her during a petty quarrel on February 15, 1923. Mrs. Rhodes also alleges that she has good and substantial reasons for her suspicion that her husband was guilty of infidelity. The wife asserts that she purchased a plot of ground in Maryland during their marriage, and that Mr. Rhodes persuaded her to name him in the title to the property. Mr. Rhodes, it is said, is an employee eof the Pullman Company at a salary of $125 per month. Mrs. Rhodes is represented by Attorney Peter B. Richards. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. Was Washington Tribune DOCTORS W. How WIFE SAYS HUSBAND WAS CRUEL Arraigned in Police Court charged with having assaulted his Negro wife, Marguerite, George Soria, 31, a 'Filipino, was ordered by Judge Isaac Hitt to assure maintenance of the peace and respect for his wife under personal bond, Monday. The Filipino is alleged to have attacked his wife while the two were driving on Third street, northeast, Saturday night. Mrs. Soria declared that her husband, in a fit of jealousy, beat her after he saw him in company with her brother. Attorney Armond W. Scott, assigned by the court, to represent Soria, suggested that the man be placed under a peace bond. Mrs. Soria and the court granted the request of the defense. The Soriaes live at 629 Third street, northeast. They have been married a little less than two years. NEGROES IN OHIO START REVOLT Various Reasons Given for Deserting G.O.P. At This Time The first report of a revolt of colored voters from the Republican party reaches here from Ohio. If the defection should prove to be as general as it is reported, it may swing 24 electoral votes of that state into the Smith column in the presidential election. Ohio has not gone Democratic in a national election since Woodrow Wilson carried it in 1916. According to accounts reaching here, an investigation was made of the reported desertion of the Republican party by individual colored men and women. It developed that the movement was general and that the colored vote, almost solidly Republican, was planning to support the Democratic electoral ticket. Through the colored newspapers in Ohio, it is reported, propaganda with this result in view has been conducted from New York for a number of months. The "Solid South" Different reasons are given for this action. The chief one is believed to be resentment at the treatment accorded colored Republicans during the eight years the party has been in power. Colored Republicans also look distrustfully at the favor in which Herbert Hoover is held by the South and Republican efforts to capture electoral votes in the Solid South. The Solid South is made up of ten states that have never gone Republican. They are Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, and Virginia. These states have a total of 114 electoral votes. "Black and Tan" Republican leaders concede that block of votes to Governor Smith. They profess to have a fighting chance in North Carolina. In the other states of the Solid South they have been led to believe that the Republican vote can be materially increased if "black and tan" organizations in those states can be supplanted by a white man's party. (Continued on page 2) RETIRED FROM GOVT SERVICE Mrs. Ella Walker, of 1718 Oregon avenue, northwest, a government worker, and one of Washington's old residents, has been retired. Mrs. Walker entered the government service on September 12, 1893, and for twenty-nine years served in the Treasury Department. In 1922 she was transferred to the Veterans' Bureau. After thirty-five years of such service she has been placed on the retired roll of that bureau effective July 3, 1928. Mrs. Walker has seen the service grow from a personnel of 725 to its present 40,000 here in Washington. She is at home at her residence, 1718 Ore- WASHINGTON WEEKLY T RS REQU oward P.M.GEN'L GIVES FACTS P.M.GEN'L GIVES FACTS Ben Davis is Exonerated in Testimony Before Brookhart Comm. BLAMES WHITE DEMOCRATS Says Ga. Senators Passed On Large Percentage of Appointments At a hearing, July 12, before the special Senate subcommittee investigating the alleged bartering of postmasterships, Postmaster General Harry S. New exonerated Benjamin Jefferson Davis, former Republican National Committeeman, and the Republican state organization. He declared that reports of sale of postmasterships have been found generally to be baseless. The subcommittee, consisting of Senators Smith W. Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, and Cyrus Locher, Democrat, of Ohio, had just returned from an inquiry at Atlanta. Ga. It is acting under the terms of a resolution introduced in the Senate by Senators William J. Harris and Walter F. George, Democrats, of Georgia, who charged Mr. Davis with trafficking in post offices. Postmaster General New said that when he accepted his post, having heard statements made that there was evidence of sale of post offices in Georgia, he had made up his mind that rumors of such mat- DUNBAR OPERAT'R RELEASED FROM GALLINGER George Oliver, 655 T street, northwest, for six years projectionist at the Dunbar Theatre, Seventh and T streets, northwest, left with his father for Greensboro, N.C., Sunday, where he will receive medical attention following a week of peculiar actions on duty which culminated in his being carried to Gallinger Municipal Hospital for mental observation. Arriving at the theatre last Tuesday morning, Raymond H. Murray, manager, found his operator walking the aisles of the place entirely unclad. He asked the meaning of it, and learned from several of his employees that Oliver had been taken home drunk, the night before and put to bed. The man, however, would not stay at home, they declared. Instead he returned to the theatre. Finding that they were unable to make him go home, one of the men locked Oliver in the theatre so that he might be safe from trouble. When Mr. Murray found him next morning Oliver was raving about a "gang" which he imagined was after him and which he declared had threatened his life. Mr. Murray then took Oliver in his car to Gallinger Hospital. Oliver is said to have been an habitual drinker. It is believed that his fondness for intoxicants is largely responsible for the mental affliction which now threatens him. FINED FOR BREAKING FIVE WINDOWS "Fifteen dollars or fifteen days," said Judge Isaac Hitt in Police Court, Monday, as he sentenced William Allen for having broken five windows in the home of William H. Johnson, 413 Elm street, northwest, Sunday. Allen tried to explain that he did not break the windows intentionally, and that they were damaged when he tried to defend himself in a fight with Johnson. "Not guilty," said Allen. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1928 HUSBAND STABS WIFE Stabbed in the abdomen by her husband, Randolph Jones, Mattea Jones, 39, living at 154 Pierce street, northwest, was treated last Sunday evening at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. C. S. Syphax. Mrs. Jones' stomach was dressed, and she was sent home with instructions to return for further treatment. The woman indicated that no action would be taken to prosecute her husband. PERRY HOWARD IS INDICTED BY JURY Effort to Oust Negro from Republican Leadership Seen in Recent Move BILOXI, Miss., July 19.—Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and a special assistant to the Attorney General, Washington, D.C., was indicted by a special grand jury in federal court here last Saturday. The charge against him involves the alleged purchase and sale of public offices. Others who were named in the same indictment returned against him are S. D. Redmond, a physician and lawyer, and his brother, A. M. Redmond, a drugist, both of Jackson. They are colored and have been prominent in Republican politics in this state. S. D. Redmond is reputed to be one of the wealthiest colored men in Mississippi. The two Redmonds and Scott Hubbard, a deputy United States marshal, who was also indicted for the alleged purchase and sale of public offices, were taken into custody by a deputy United States marshal in Jackson, Monday. White Men Indicted An additional capias was also served on E. L. Patton, of Jackson, bringing the total number of charges against him to seven. Patton, a colored man, was one of the first to be indicted. An indictment was returned against him, J. C. Tannehill, a former deputy United States marshal, and W. E. Miller, postmaster at Wiggins, last Thursday. This indictment charged the sale of the post office at Wiggins. Tannehill and Miller are white. Patton and Tannehill were taken into custody in Jackson last Friday and brought here. They were re- DRINKS IODINE BUT REFUSES TO GIVE REASON FOR ACT Ederial Dancey, 20, of 910 Forty-fifth place, northeast, was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, last Friday morning, in the patrol of the Eighth Police Precinct, for treatment for burns and poisoning she received when she drank a quantity of iodine. She refused to give any information whatever as a reason for her act. Miss Dancey applied at a local drug store and purchased the iodine on the pretense of using it to sooth a tooth which she told the pharmacist was "giving her fits." She left the establishment and walked to Tenth and T streets, northwest, where in front of 1904 Tenth street, she drank some of the poison. The bottle, containing a large portion of the iodine fell to the sidewalk. Arthur Holland, of the Tenth street address, witnessed the girl's action. He rushed to her side before she could retrieve the fallen bottle and carried her to the station house where police placed her in the wagon and rushed her to Freedmen's. After treatment by Dr. Cherrie of the hospital staff, the girl was placed in a ward where her condition was reported, Wednesday, as favorable. SAYS HE WAS PEEVED "I was angry, Judge your Honor," was all John R. Jackson would say in his own defense before Judge Isaac Hitt sentenced him to 30 days for having blacked the eve of Beulah Evan, last Sun GETS SIX MONTHS Irene Beckwitt was sentenced to serve six months in jail by Judge Isaac Hitt in Police Court, Monday, for the theft of two flat irons and a supply of bed and table linen, the property of Lavinia Snowden. The defendant is alleged to have entered a garage where Mrs Snowden had her things stored, on July 9, and made away with the various articles which were found in her possession at the time of her arrest. HOOVER BLAMED FOR UPHEAVAL IN SOUTH Chm. Work Fails in Effort to Explain Part Played by Hoover Workers By William G. Walker The Hoover campaign for the presidency has been done irreparable injury by the trend of events during the past week. The indictment of Perry Howard and several of his co-workers in Mississippi, secured at the personal insistence of Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, and one of the Crown Princesses of the Hoover cabinet, may be the straw that will eventually break the camel's back. There is no mistaking the fact that during the past week, Negroes of every class have clearly indicated a desire to bolt the Republican ticket. There is now a story going the rounds here that, on Monday of this week, a very prominent Negro leader from out of town was offered the first appointment by the MISS M. E. BURKE WINS CONTEST Miss Edna Burke, of Buena Vista, Md., a graduate of the 1928 class, Dunbar High School, was named the representative of this city to the National Oratorical Miss M. EDNA BURKE Contest, sponsored annually by the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Miss Burke was acclaimed the victor over four other contestants, all of which with one exception were members of her graduating class. That exception was Evelyn Gardner, 1753 T street, northwest, a member of the junior class. Miss Gardner was second to Miss Burke. Third place was won by Marion Jackson, fourth by Major Conic, and fifth by William Tinney. There were exactly seventy-five persons, including the contestants and judges present during the ceremonies. They were held at the Armstrong Technical High School auditorium. The judges were Miss LaVerne Gregory, teacher at Dunbun High School; Mrs. Marie Madre-Marshall, school teacher and an Elk official, and Thomas J. Calloway, real estate dealer. Barrington Guy, local baritone, presented "Nichavo," by Mana Zucca, and "The Erling," by Schubert. "The Letter," a poem by Paul Laurence Dunbun, was recited by Edward B. Saunders, local daily OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. LOCAL WOMEN READY LOCAL WOMEN READY All Plans are Completed for Entertaining Big Convention LOCAL HEADQUARTERS READY Delegates are Arriving in the City Daily. Fine Program Arranged The vanguard of more than 800 delegates is arriving for the sixteenth biennial convention of the National Association of Colored Women which will meet here July 27-August 3. Mrs. Rebecca Stiles Taylor, of Daytona Beach, Fla., corresponding secretary of the national organization, is in residence at the new national headquarters, Twelfth and O streets, northwest. Mrs. Taylor expresses satisfaction with the completeness of the plans of the local group, the Washington and Vicinity Federation of Women's Clubs of which Mrs. Juja West Hamilton is president. Local Plans Completed Co-operating with Mrs. Hamilton, local president, are the reception committee, Mrs. Alma J. Scott, chairman; the activities committee, Dr. Clara Smythe Talaferro, chairman; the publicity committee, Attorney I. A. Letcher, chairman; and other committees. Housing and entertainment of the delegates, as well as facilities for the smooth transaction of business, have been amply provided for. (Continued on page 4) WOMAN HELD ON 4 CHARGES OF ASSAULT WOMAN HELD ON 4 CHARGES OF ASSAULT Arrested on four charges of assault with intent to kill, Florence Montgomery, 26, 1125 Fourth street, northwest, was ordered held under $6,000 bond for the action of the grand jury by Judge Isaac R. Hitt, in police court, Monday. Witnesses testified that the woman first became engaged in an argument with Annie Hamilton and her husband, William, both of 323 Missouri avenue, and that during the altercation which followed Miss Montgomery obtained a revolver from somewhere about her person and began firing. Shoots at Policeman Policeman J. F. McLarney, white, of the Sixth Precinct, upon hearing the shooting, rushed to the scene of the disturbance, only to meet a fusillade of shots sent in his direction by the enraged Montgomery woman. One of the bullets struck a small girl bystander, Jeanette Hawkins, 12 years old, of 300 Missouri avenue. Still another, Sidney G. Lucas, white, living at 337 Missouri avenue, came under attention of the woman's fire. He went to the aid of the policeman when it was feared that one of the bullets would doubtless strike McLarney. Lucas, however, was engaged by a crowd of bystanders who resented his aiding the officer. STRUCK ON HEAD; ASSAILANT UNKNOWN Robert Gordon, 33, of 2209 Liberty street, northwest, told police of the Eighth Precinct when he arrived for treatment at Freedmen's Hospital, Sunday, that for all he knew they'd have to arrest every person in Union court in an effort to get the person who struck him on the head early Sunday morning. Gordon admitted that he had not the slightest idea regarding who hit him. He was not seriously in- --- Shoots at Policeman Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomae 1667. 20 U STREET, N.W. DENT lcomes REDMOND CHARGES GRAND JURY WAS "HANDPICKED" BILOXI, Miss.—Judge Edwin R. Holmes, before whom the indictments against Perry W. Howard and others was secured, granted Wednesday a request of Attorney Sidney E. Redmond for a writ to require the opening in court of the jury boxes from Jackson, Meridian and Vicksburg, when the court fixes a date for hearing a motion made by Redmond to squash the jury venire. This move was made by Attorney Redmond to support his charge that the present jury was "handpicked." The motion is returnable in September when a hearing will be held on all motions filed in this case. Many believe that the jury was handpicked and that when a hearing is given the whole case will be squashed. PORTERS' STRIKE ORDER SENT TO ALL DIVISIONS Sure to Strike Unless the Union is Recognized, Says Randolph NEW YORK CITY, July 19.—The policy committee of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters concluded its conference Friday noon, July 13. The agenda considered covered a wide field relating to organization and propaganda policies. The conference was called into session Monday, July 9, by A. Philip Randolph, general organizer. According to General Organizer Randolph, a definite decision to strike has been made unless the union secures recognition from the Pullman Company. Secret orders and directions on the time of calling and execution of the strike are in sealed envelopes in the hands of regional supervisors who shall relay same to the division organizers. These sealed envelopes are not to be opened until the order is received from the strike committee which is composed of A. Philip Randolph, and M. P. Webster, Chicago division organizer. Federation Helping The order for the sealed strike envelopes to be opened will be given in consultation with William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, says Randolph. The 7,500 members of the Brotherhood in every district of the Pullman Company throughout the country, have made it definitely and unmistakably known that they are ready to walk out whenever the order is issued, says the general organizer.

Webster, member of the policy committee and Chicago division organizer, who presides over (Continued on page 2) THREE HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT Two women, Hattie Stevens, 28, and Alma Jones, 18, and one man, Luther Jones, 28, all of 1532 Swann street, northwest, were carried by police of the Eleventh Precinct to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment of injuries they sustained in an automobile accident at Bryantown, Md., Sunday. The three people were occupants of a car driven by Luther Jones, in which they were returning to this city after a short motoring party. The youngest of the party, Miss Jones, was perhaps the most severely injured. Results of an X-ray which Dr. Howard McNeill deemed both necessary and advisable, had not been reported Wednesday. Besides a possible fracture of the skull, Miss Jones sustained a sprained arm, a sprained ankle and deep lacerations of the body. Mrs. Stevens suffered a contusion of the knee while the driver sustained a fractured clavicle (or small shoulder bone). Reports, Wednesday, indicated that the injured people were show- IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS VICTIMS Trial "AM NOT GUILTY," HOWARD "AM NOT GUILTY," HOWARD Voluntarily Appears Before U.S. Commissioner; Bond is $2500 TRIAL SET FOR NOV. 5 Issues Statement in Which He Declares He is Being Persecuted Voluntarily appearing before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a complaint charging him with violation of the Federal statute to prevent the purchase and sale of public offices. The certified copy of the indictment which was returned against him and three others by a special Federal grand jury at Brooklyn, last Saturday, had not been received by United States Attorney Leo A. Rover. The complaint against Mr. Howard was drawn by Mr. Rover upon telegraphic advice from the United States Attorney at Jackson, Miss. It charged him and others with violation of, the Federal statute against bartering public offices by conspiracy in that they received the sum of $1,500 to manipulate the appointment of 'A. P. Ruggsall as United States marshal' for the southern district of Mississippi. Bond Fixed at $2,500 Commissioner Turnage fixed bond at $2,500. The bond was signed by John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and president of the Presidential Bank. Mr. Howard was instructed to appear for arraignment and trial at Jackson, Miss., November 5. Mr. Howard issued a statement Tuesday protesting his innocence. He said: "The only information I have SHAKE HANDS AND MAKE UP IN COURT "Can't you two fellows shake hands and make up," admonished Judge Isaac Hitt in Police Court, Tuesday, as Abraham Wheeler, 1616 Sixth street, northwest, finished testifying against William Archie, 1335 Fifth street, northwest, when the latter was hauled into court to answer charges of assault and battery. "Yes, sir, Judge your Honor," Archie fairly shouted from behind the back of his counsel. "What do you think about it?" the court then asked Wheeler, and the face of the complaining witness broke into a broad grin as he answered, "It's all right with me, Judge." "Then go ahead, and don't hurry back," advised the venerable guardian. The two joined hands, and, to the humorist it appeared, they fairly skipped from the courtroom. Archie had been arrested for an alleged attack on Wheeler in which he hit the latter across the head with a stick rendering him unconscious for two days. The defendant was represented by Attorney Thomas Beckett. IS CUT BECAUSE SHE INTERFERED Because she got after him for cursing their mother, her brother, William Hamilton, clashed her with a knife down her breast and stomach, said Josephine Hamilton in Police Court, Monday. Hamilton, himself, declared that he was not cursing his mother, but was "cussing" his father, when Josephine came after him with a knife. He then took it away from her and cut her. Twelve stitches were taken by hospital physicians who sewed the wound. Judge Hitt sentenced Hamilton NOTICE! Franklin 8401 is the new telephone number of JOHN T. RHINES & CO.

ICE! Fran FUNE Liberal Progressive Independent STORIES FROM THE POLICE COURT are interesting from time to time in these columns, because they show how fair and unbiased testimony prevails among the men who would be inclined from their positions to aim to prove every man guilty. We are especially pleased with Officer Zier whose clear and understanding statement of the conditions of an acciden' recently prevented what might have been a charge of manslaughter. HEADLINING MORAL LAPSES by ministers is poor journalism, and does more to make youth turn against religion than all the scoffing of atheists. Priests who know nothing of the pangs of conscience e. make poor leaders of ordinary mortals. Christianity depends little upon the purity of the priests, but more upon the righteousness of the believers. THE TIME TO MAKE DEMANDS upon those in power is when they are in an extremity. The need of votes inclines the administrators to listen to protests by the governed. Now is the time to howl against abuses. BY A STRANGE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, one of our group was able to borrow from an insurance company of his own people, to save his farm. Now comes young Rockefeller who buys a part of the farm because it belonged to the son of Pocahontas, and is needed to complete the restoration of old Williamsburg, Virginia. Insurance is practical brotherhood. "Bear ye one another's burdens," may yet save the race. BUILDING BIGGER U STREET News that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows intends to build its temple at Twelfth and U streets, northwest, is a promise of another step in the ultimate development of our "boulevard." We have suggested that the erection of the magnificent plant of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School at Vermont avenue and U street, and the artistic Masonic Temple at the corner of Tenth would revolutionize the district. Now come the Odd Fellows to fulfil our prophecy. We believe in Washington as we believe in the greater United States of which it is as yet the beautiful but young capital. The future of this city as we imagine it, would be considered a dream; but the movement on our part and because of our residence in it, to make our material progress keep step with the larger growth, is one of the ways in which we may prove to the civilized world that we are truly American citizens. The one remaining activity to be developed, now that the building is in course of progress and outlined, is to finance these ventures by modern methods. Beginning with Masonic Temple, the builders should have their plants underwritten and should issue bonds in denominations from 50 to 1,000 dollars, running from 10 to 30 years, and drawing around 4 or 5 per cent interest. Our people have money idle or drawing small interest in down-town banks. That money could be and would be invested in good bonds based upon trusts placed by reputable financial organizations. It should be so placed to be useful. The Washington Loan and Trust, the American Security and Trust, and the National Savings and Trust are three companies that could and should underwrite our building investments. They might require our own banks, Industrial Savings and Prudential, to market some or all of the bonds. It can be done. Once we get a taste of the cooperative power through safe and secure bonds based upon projects which we can see and use, we shall not only begin to save with a purpose, but we shall begin to show that we are in step with the modern America which has left its old days and ways far in the rear. We have talked about CO- OPERATION until it has become a household word. Now is the time to show that we know what it means. Valuable, revenue-produc- 1 Washington Tribune ing, necessary, insured and modern buildings, managed by men of wisdom and character, and financed by loans based upon bonds, will put our combined savings to work making money for us through catering to our own needs. That is modern CO-OPERATION, FRATERNALISM and COMMON SENSE. THE PERRY W. HOWARD INDICTMENT We hold no brief for Perry W. Howard. We believe that he is capable of protecting himself. We regret that he has become involved so seriously as to reflect upon his splendid record as an official of the government and a prominent member of the race. That much we should do for any man in similar difficulties and situation. Mr. New also testified that the postmaster in Georgia who tried to throw responsibility for his suicide upon the demands made upon him for contributions to the Republican state central committee, was not only short in his funds, but took additional moneys and then killed his money order clerk to prevent damaging testimony. The men who are Democrats and yet who would accept office under a Republican administration to the prejudice of Negroes who are entitled to the office by their political allegiance and their numbers, are strange animals and capable of almost any kind of conduct. Every indictment is not a conviction, and the basic presumption of American criminal law is: "A man is innocent until he is proven guilty." Perry W. Howard says, anent his indictment: "I will clear that up all right," and we. hope he may be able to. THE MOTE AND THE BEAM United States marines police, occupy and will supervise the elections of Nicaragua, at a cost to the American tax payers of more than $3,600,000 per year. This action in violation of sovereignty and international comity, is carried through without excuse or apology by a Republican administration. It was under a Republican administration that the troops of the United States were withdrawn from supervising the federal elections in the secession states of the South. It was at a time when the newly enfranchised colored voters, having given their votes to that party, in gratitude for its action in their behalf, and having kept the party in power, were coming to understand the relation between politics and economics, and were voting (not always wisely) for their immediate interest. Evidence a plenty has been offered showing the nullification of the constitutional rights of the colored voters, under Southern state constitutions, in states where those voters were easily the majority, but the Republican administrations have never found it possible nor expedient to send troops into those sections to supervise elections. In fact, the platform projector and protector in the recent Republican Convention, Senator Borah, studiously avoided any mention of the 14th and 15th Amendments, while insisting upon the enforcement clause covering the 18th There is an admonition to remove the beam from thine eye before trying to remove the mote from thy brother's eye, and this applies to the conduct of Republicans who offer the lives and health of white youth, in the marine corps, in Nicaragua, as a forfeit to the plans and interests of financial institutions which dominate the party policies. Wrong, injustice, bad faith and The Saturday Evening Quill Club Makes Initial Bow By Charles M. Thomas Had the Saturday Evening Quill Club, a group of 18 Bostonians from 22 to 60 years of age, with the urge to write, done nothing but publish Dorothy West's story of "An Unimportant Man," their work would have been worth while, especially were it circulated among the youth of our high schools, that they might read: "... the inevitable truth that Essie must face and brand upon her heart. The race was too young, its achievements too few, for whimsical indulgence. It must not matter whom you loved; it must not matter what you desired; it must not matter that it broke your heart, if sacrifice meant a forward step toward the freedom of our people." In its foreword, the well printed, attractively covered seventy-two pages of forty poems, seven children's verses, six stories, two plays and an essay, it is explained that the club has made a "sacrifice" to pay for the publication and distribution of its own work expressing that which must find an outlet as it wells up from the heart of those who feel and dream. Had we a reading public, those and other "crusaders of the quill" might find pleasure and profit in sending out a monthly magazine that would, perhaps, give us an Aframerican "Living Age"; as it is, their work indicates that they have started well on "the uphill grade"; and in the variety, condensation and drama, as well as in the versification, they indicate high and different levels. We regret that Florida Ridley did not write "Other Bostonians" as history; they deserve it and we need it; Boston needs it: Gertrude Schalk's "Black Madness" is as good as any O. Henry story, and with experiences, she ought to give us a Negro de Maupassant; the world needs that. Edythe Mae Gordon, who, with another contributor, Waring Cuney, is a Washington product, has a fine theme in her story, "Subversion"—which might be called "The Dark Hallway"—but she is too happy in her own fidelity no doubt to write feelingly and vividly about infidelity based upon woman's love of money's power, nor does she know enough about tuberculosis to realize that it acts to make men both suspicious of their healthy male friends and prone to display greater energy than they can afford. Waring Cuney's repetition becomes tiresome; all his poems being written in folk song style, fall within the scope of Roscoe Wright's criticism of Negro spirituals, on the next page of the publication. The odes by George Margetson are pitched in a lofty key, but show paucity of vocabulary to express high ideals. His tribute to Mary Evans Wilson is, however, a splendid, appreciative and inspiring epitaph in its final lines. In Joseph Mitchell's "Son Boy," we have a complete portrayal of the combination of that Negro mother's love, hope, labors, inspiration and suggestion which alone breeds and nourishes what courage we have and need as a group. The lines "Before I'd be a slave, I'd be buried in my grave. And go home to my Father and be saved." carry an apt illustration of the mental suggestion practiced intuitively by our grandmothers. One of the finest speeches to young people, we have ever heard, was made by an old lady, who said, in trembling voice: "Som of you's wanted for the presidency and som of you's wanted for the House of representatives." To-day, too much of our advice to young people is too literal; it offends, symbolism and suggestion are more potent. Eugene Gordon, president of the club and obviously inspirer of the publication, may find the refutation of his statement; "We may pass over the nonsense about people listening to the sound of rain on an apartment house roof and remembering jungle sounds," in Roscoe Wright's "When a Jazz Band Plays," for he is reminded of "tom toms beating." We have been uplifted in spirit as well as pleased by reading from time to time, the Saturday Evening Quill, and find in it reason, and hope that others may realize, "There is no adequate standard to apply to the Negro writer save the standard that is applied to other American writers." CADDIE STRUCK, NOSE HURT Wilton Clark, 1319 Milfred road, a caddie, reported with a contused nose for treatment at Freedmen's Hospital, last Sunday evening. Clark is only 15 years old, and a schoolboy. He told Dr. C. S. Syphax, who administered medical attention that he was struck by a golf ball at Brightwood. ir gratitude are so hateful as to invite disaster to those who even think them, but when they are increasingly practiced upon loyal citizens who happen to be bronzed by the infiltration of blood darkened by tropical suns, and, at the behest of selfish interests, thinking not of service but only of profits, retribution is sure and terrible.

A Lost Chord The Republican Party Piano Players seem to think their music will sound better without the use of the dark keys. Money Changes Eight thousand colored people in New York are passing for white because of certain positions that wouldn't be open to them otherwise. For the same reason the famous high salaried Moran and Mack and Al Jolson who have good white faces also make good, black faces. Chickens will come home to roost. Ungrateful Malcolm Howard, who was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to be electrocuted, and then had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, reminds me of a fellow who when working on top of a ten structure slipped and fell. As he started the fall that seemed to mean immediate death he said, "Oh Lord have mercy." Between the sixth and seventh floors he was caught by a scaffold, and, with few abrasions he was carried to a hospital. The first words he spoke were, "If it hadn't been for that scaffold, I would have been a dead man." Did he remember asking the Lord to have mercy? Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for He is good and His mercy endureth forever and where there is life there is hope.

Who calls tiny buds to awake in the Spring? And where do the birds go that pass on the wing? How many stars are there up in the sky? I never can count them though often I try. What makes the world dreary when falls the cold rain? How different it is when the sun shines again! My shadow, my echo, how strange are they all; How queer that the leaves change their dress in the Fall. The dancing white snow-flakes, the rain-bow's bright hues, The fragrant Spring blossoms, the glistening dew, They all, to my eyes, are so wondrously fair That beauty and joyousness reign everywhere. More beautiful than all of the wonders I see Is my love for my Mother, and her love for me. The flowers may fade, and the snows melt away, But our love shall grow fonder and fonder each day MY NOISY SISTER Dear Editor; I have one of the noisiest sisters that a boy could have. She slams things around, she is always singing loud, and she stomps all through the house. Mother never says anything to her, but, oh, my, she is a pest. She is three years younger than I am. At times we play and before long she is screaming as though she were being killed. She fails to see just how it sounds to the neighbors, and how annoying her noise is. Gee, if she were a boy instead of a girl—she would be some worry. If there is any boy who thinks he has a noisy sister, let him know now that I consider MY sister the champion noise box of Washin—no not Washington—but of the world. C. A.

We came to a branch in Rock Creek Park and while jumping from one rock to another we saw a beautiful bird which is called the Baltimore Oriole, or firebird. It is also called the Maryland bird. It is very common in North America from Canada to Mexico. The oriole comes from the South in May, and in trees and vines builds its hanging nest made of moss and fibres skilfully woven together. Threads, strings, and horse hairs are used in building the nest, which is a deep hanging pouch about six inches long. The oriole is about seven inches long, with a sharp tail. The plumage is beautiful, especially on the male, being a glossy black mixed with bright orange and yellow. These were the colors of Lord Baltimore's livery, hence the name. The oriole is valuable for its destruction of insects, especially the tent caterpillar and the canker worm. It's song is strong and pleasant, a ringing whistle easy to imitate. of JO ALMERS, 901 3 The Moss furful world, be it unfurled, does rolling away orange children play; obscs through the trees, soft summer breeze.

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. A wee little song-bird Sat on a limb; He watched us And we watched him. He fluttered his feathers, Sat his head on the side— You got frightened And then you cried. That was a year ago Early in Spring When the little wee birdie Came to sing A song of happiness For you and I But you got frightened And had to cry. Yes, that was a year ago Since the bird flew away And I haven't seen him Again to this day— But I think that's he Slowly flying nigh; So don't get frightened, And please don't cry. That's the little fellow Searching for a limb So he can watch us As we watch him. He's going to sing a song For you and I— He'll come to sing often If you don't cry. C.L.F. Don't Say Nigger OUR QUESTION BOX Q: Who was it who sang a song about the grave making all people equal? It is asserted a colored woman sang this song a hundred times in one night. Please tell me something about this affair.—C.H. A: A singer of note of our race known as Flora Batson, sang a hymn ninety successive nights at a temperance revival in New York. The name of the selection was "Six Feet of Earth Make Us All One Size." This singer became nationally famous in 1887. She visited several foreign countries. She died in Philadelphia, December 2, 1906. Q: Where was the first colored Y.L.C.A. organized?—E.F. A: The first Colored Young Men's Christian Association was organized here in Washington, in 1853. The first colored student association was organized in 1869 at Howard University. Q: Who was the first Negro priest in this country?—Z.N.H. A: The first Negro priest appointed in this country was Augustus Tolton. He was ordained in the Propaganda at Rome in 1888. At the time of his death he was pastor at St. Monica's Church, Chicago, Illinois. Little Alice Neversad Was always jolly, gay, and glad; She kept smiling all the time— She was never bad.

He said he felt that he should punish any one "either buying or selling." Bars Barterer In 1925, he said, he learned that there was one man, who had undertaken to secure the appointment of a great number of individuals as postmasters. He found, he said, that particularly in one case, the report had undoubtedly been proved. He said he then issued an order directing that under no circumstances thereafter should that individual's name be considered in the appointment of any postmaster. He said he would rather not mention that individual's name unless the committee directed it, but that he was a member of the State committee in Georgia. Mr. New said he told the two Georgia Senators that if they heard any rumors of sales of post offices, or if improper conduct of postmasters in that State, he hoped they would let him have all the facts and promised them a full investigation in every such case. Subcommittee Gets List He gave the subcommittee a list of every post office appointment in Georgia since March 4, 1921, with a record, he said, of who were consulted in the making of those appointments. He said that in 62 per cent of the cases either the Senators or Representatives in the House were consulted before the appointments were made. "So," he added, "they had prior information of every appointment made in the State." "There have been from time to time," Mr. New stated, "rumors of sales of post offices, every one of which has been investigated. I have run them all down and in every one of them but one, I have found it was always a case of something that happened not there, but in the next township. Attempted Sale “There was just one case of attempt at a sale. A colored man named E. W. Brinkens received $350 on the understanding that he would recommend a man named Batten for appointment as a rural free delivery carrier. Batten failed to pass the civil service examination and wanted the money back he had paid Brinkens. Brinkens said he had spent the money. Finally Everett C. Knox, who was superintendent of schools, got Brinkens to put a mortgage on his cow and mule for $285 to pay Batten back. This amount was paid to Knox, who endorsed the amount over to Batten.” Mr. New States that meantime Knox had been appointed postmaster at Nahunta, Ga. He said he ordered Knox's removal as postmaster. Immediately, he said, he was appealed to by the highest Democratic authority to save Knox. "I said to them," Mr. New added, "that I had done all that I could do, that I could not see any difference between Mr. Brinkens and Mr. Knox on whom was fitted the halo of respectability. I removed Knox." Refers to Letters "I have no doubt that postmasters in Georgia," Mr. New added, "have contributed to the Republican organization down there. I am not defending the practice. But I think that the committee will find that the same contributions were made by the postmasters to the Democratic organizations when the latter were in power. "I am filing here letters addressed to one of these same Georgia postmasters by a very high Democratic authority, a member of the Democratic national committee, W. D. Jamison, who was their director of finance. The letter in question was addressed to a postmaster asking for $75, as quickly as possible, and adding that the civil service law was respecting solicitation of contributions from Federal employees. The writer in this case took precautions to absolve himself from any violation of the law. These letters cover a period from 1917-1920, inclusive. New Files Report "I am also filing a report of an investigation made by W. R. Spillman, now superintendent of post office survey, who was assigned to look up these cases. These letters were broadcast to every postmaster in the country. Complaints began to come in from the Democratic national committee that it had reason to believe that its letters were being riffed of money. Investigation found that a clerk in that committee's employ had opened the letters. "This whole case started from a man who for 14 years was postmaster at Douglas, Ga. Mr. Peterson, first appointed under the Wilson administration and then reappointed under the Harding administration, at the request of Congressman Lankford, of Georgia, through Ben Davis. Peterson Short $224 Peterson Short $224 "Post office inspectors reported that Mr. Peterson was short in his accounts $224.23. When postmasters are short I dispose of them. A man who takes public money cannot remain as a postmaster. I ordered his removal. I was immediately appealed to to keep Peterson in office. Congressmen appealed to me at my office. Mr. New said a story was then told him that Peterson had given the Republican organization in Georgia $2,000. "I wanted to know the facts, because that introduced a new element into the situation," he said. "I became convinced that it was not true and let the removal stand. Later I heard that Peterson had said in a letter that it was true and I made a thorough investigation. I am satisfied it was not true and Mr. Lankford admitted to me it was not true. Peterson Murders Clerk "After the order for Peterson's removal was drawn, it was learned, he drew drafts on his postal savings fund and brought his total shortage to $6,388.58. Mr. Peterson killed his money order clerk; he then committed suicide. "Nobody regrets the extremes to which Peterson went any more than I do. He did not give the Republican organization the $2,000 as claimed, but did give it $115." NEGROES IN OHIO REVOLT (Continued from page 1) The checking of the Ohio revolt is of paramount interest. If it should spread to the border States of Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Oklahoma, Republican success will be endangered. This group of states have a total of 61 electoral votes. The addition of these votes to the Solid South would give Governor Smith 175 electoral votes, 91 short of the majority needed to win. If Smith can carry New York with 45 electoral votes, New Jersey with 14, Connecticut with 7, and Rhode Island with 5, he will still need 20. The Ohio revolt, if not checked, may give him 24, bringing about his election. It is estimated there are more than 100,000 colored voters in Ohio. Truck Strikes Girl A truck, driven by Sidney Davis, of 25 Reeves court, backed on Bernice Lumpkins, 20 years old, of 2247 Eighth street, northwest, and rendered severe lacerations to the woman's foot and leg. She was treated at Freedmen's Hospital. The accident occurred at Florida avenue and Q street, northwest, Saturday.

SEVERAL HURT IN AUTO SMASH-UP (Continued from page 1) headed toward Washington driven by Ella Sehivien, also white, of Townshend, Md., cut in front of it too soon, striking the left front fender and knocking it into a ditch. The Brinkley automobile then side-swiped into the car driven by Mr. Hudnell and knocked the latter vehicle into a five-foot bank on the south side of the road. Howard V. Jones, a sign painter, living at 1737 U street, northwest, placed the Hudnell family in his automobile and rushed them to Casualty Hospital, where the entire staff of physicians then on duty treated the injured. The pathetic appearance the blood-stained victims presented made the physicians doubtful as to the seriousness of their injuries, hence, Dr. Joseph D.

Mrs. Hudnell and her daughter, Ruth, are perhaps the most seriously injured. The former sustained severe lacerations of the forehead and legs and a wrenched back. The latter is suffering from severe lacerations of the arms and face, a severely wrenched back and a dislocated bin. Injuries Not Serious Griffin is not confined to bed nor is the daughter Marion, both of whom escaped with minor bruises. Elaine, the youngest Hudnell, had a knee-cap severely injured besides several minor cuts and bruises. Brinkley suffered a probable broken skull and numerous serious cuts of the head and face, besides possible internal injuries. His condition is serious. Earl Warden, 24 years old, of 1437 Clifton street, northwest, who was riding with Brinkley, was also seriously hurt, suffering internal injuries and a broken left arm. Mrs. Schivien was injured about the head and body. PORTERS' STRIKE ORDER SENT TO ALL DIVISIONS (Continued from page 1) the second largest division in the country, says that eighty-five per cent of the men in his division will step down when the order is given. He also claims that strike-breakers would be a total failure in Chicago on account of the militant spirit of the membership. A. L. Totten, assistant general organizer; Roq Lancaster, secretary-treasurer; W. H. Des Verney, assistant general organizer; Bennie Smith, field organizer; E. J. Bradley, St. Louis division organizer, attending the policy committee conference, alleged that the porters' union can win the strike in less than a week, if it is called. Pullman porters receive $72.50 a month as wages. They work on a mileage basis which is equivalent to nearly 400 hours of work a month. Their grievances are handled by the Pullman Company union of the Pullman Company WE ALSO OFFER YOU DECIDED ECONOMY THROUGH SUPERIOR INSTALLATION THE CAREFUL WORK OF EXPERT MECHANICS. HIGH GRADE INSTALLATION SAVES YOU CONTINUALLY AS IT ASSURES YOU MORE HEAT WTH LESS FUEL. which has been the source of widespread unrest and discontent among the men, inasmuch as the company union does not permit of adequate and fair representation among the porters or a full and untrammeled expression of their opinions. The demands of the union are for $150. a month in wages, the 240-hour work month, recognition of the union and the restoration to service with pay for lost time of all porters who have been discharged on account of their membership in the porters' union. REFUSES TO TELL HOW HE BECAME INJURED Refusing to divulge where or by whom he was hurt and saying only that he had been shot, a man who gave his name as Joe Winter, and his address as 1245 Fourth street, northwest applied at Freedmen's Hospital for treatment of a severely lacerated scalp, at 6 o'clock last Sunday evening. Dr. Howard McNeill, staff physician who attended Winter said that the man's condition gave no evidence of shooting, but that it did appear that he had been stabbed. DR. HOPE HONORED IN CANADA ATLANTA, Ga.—Dr. John Hogs, president of Morehouse College, this city, while in attendance at the recent Congress of the World Baptist Alliance in Tocato, Canada, received from McMaster University, in that city, the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. A like degree was conferred by the university upon John Thomas Forbes, principal of the Theological College of Scotland, while the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on nine eminent preachers and missionaries from six different countries. The imposing ceremonies were conducted at a special convocation held in Yorkminster Church, Toronto, attended by the officials and faculty of the university, and by a large number of delegates to the World Baptist Congress. Of the eleven men receiving degrees, Dr. Hope had the distinction of being one of the three from America, one of the three to speak in response, and of the two to receive the degree of LLD. Society.

Moreover, I knew that 1 ‘could pray for light. I consulted a ssa colored man, named Charles Johnson, and, in tones of holy af. fection, ‘he told me to pray, ani ‘what to pray for. I was, for weeks, ‘& poor, broken-hearted mourner, traveling through the darkness and mileery of doubts and fears. I fin- ally found that change of heart which comes: by casting all one’s care upon God, and as oe in Jesus Christ, as mer Friend, and Saviour of those wh ane seek him, “After this, I saw the world Ins new light. I seemed to live in s new world, surrounded by new ob- aes Sed hee nae ae \opes and déaires. I loved all man kind—slaveholders not excepted; though I abhorred slavery more than ever. My great concern was ‘now, to have the wotld converted The desire for knowledge increased ‘and especially did I want a thor. ough acquaintance with the con tents of the Bible. I have gath ‘ered scattered panne trom this hols book, from the filthy gutters of Baltimore, and washed and driec them, that in the moments of my leisure, I might get a word or twe of, wisdom from them. “While thus religiously ene knowledge, I became acquaint with a good old colored man, namec Lawson. A more devout man thar he I never saw. He drove a dra; for Mr. James Ramsey, the owne! of « rope-walk on Fell’s Point, Bal. timore. This man not only prayec three times a day, but he praye as he walke dthrough the streets at his work—on his dray—every where. His life was life of grey er, and his word (when he spoke to his friends) were abyut a» better world. “Unele Lawson lived near Master Hugh's house, and, becoming deep. ly attached to the old man, I wen often with him to prayer-meeting snd spent much of my lelsure tim with him on Sunday. The old mar could read a little, ani I was s reat help to him, in making ou fhe hard words, for T'was a bette reader than he. I could teach hin ‘the letter,’ but he could teach m ‘the spirit;’ and high, rerefreshing times we had together, in, singing praying and glorifying’ God.” As in his youth, so in his earl; manhood, Frederick Douglass wa: a devout Christian. When he found himself a free man in Massachu- setts what companions did he seek ? Hear him, as he speaks for him: self. “Among my first concerns on reaching New Bedford, was, t become united with the church, for I had never given up, in reality my religious faith. f ‘had becom: Tekewarm and in a backslidder state, but I was still convinced that ‘it was my duty to join the Meth. odist church... .. “Finally, I attached myself to a Wered with the ahection ana com dence of the members of this hum- ble communion, I was soon made & class leader and a local preacher among them.” Turn to Douglass’ autobiogra- phy, printed at ‘New York and Au- yurn, in 1855, at pages 166-167, 351 and 353, and’ read the above state- ments. | ‘Think of Douglass—a man who had been schooled in the house of bondage, to be a living witness of ‘its horrors; this man, who had been born of the Spirit of God, and set apart for a great and holy mission, was discovered by the Abolition- ists of New England, and called forth to stand up, as God’s mouth- Piece, in denouncing slavery and making known its cruelties and wicked abominations. But it may be insisted, that Douglass threw away his religion, and became its open enemy. Not $0. He was at all times the enemy to what is false in religion, #0 het, so were tha apoio, £0 Was i, BO were iy 80 ope Christ, and so is every true Swe of the Son of God. This en 1s not eee find injustise, ascuerading in it and in; ‘name, and claiming its sanctities. Let me illustrate. Here is a part of a specch, which Douglass deliv- ered on British soil: “But you will ask me, can these Sings be, possble, ia « land pro- ing Christianity? Yes, they ‘are so; and this is not the worst. No; a darker feature is yet to be presented than the mere existence Gf these facts. I have to inform you that the religion of the south- ern states, at this time, is the great supporter, the great sanctioner of the bloody atrosities to which 1 have referred. While America is printing tracts and Bibles, sending Lcorrmrgpend oe = convert - nathen, exper money various ‘ways tor the promotion of the gospel in foreign lands—th slave not only lies forgotten, un: cared for, but is trampled under foot by the very churches of the “What have we in America? Why, we have slavery made par of the religion of the land Yes ths pulpit Micra sanhe up as the great defender of this cursed ‘in stitution, as it is called. Minis ters. of religion come forward and torture the hallowed pages of in: spired wisdom to sancti¢n the bloody deed. They stand forth the foremost, the strongest de. fenders of this ‘institution.’ ” Wher Douglass thus spoke, was he ar infidel? A thousand times no. Lis ten to him, as he continues t speak, “T cannot be induced to leave of these exposures. I love the reli gion of our blessed Savior. I love that religion that comes fron above, in the wisdom of God, whiel is first pure, then peaceable, le and easy. #6 be entreated, fall 0 mercy and good fruits, without par tiality tod without ‘hypocrisy 6 that religion that sends. it to bind up the wounds o him that has fallen among thieves I love the religion that makes. the duty of its disciples to visit th fatherless and the widow of thei affliction. I love the religion tha is based upon the glorious princi ple of love to God and love to man which makes its followers do unt others as they themselves woul: be done by. “If you demand liberty for your self, it says, grant it to your neigh bors. If you claim a right to think for yourself, it says, allow you neighbors the same right. If you claim to act for yourself, it says allow your neighbors the sam right. ‘It is because I love this re ligion that I hate the slaveholding the woman-whipping, the mind darkening, the suldestroying re ligion that exists in the southert states of America, It is because regard the one as good, and pure and holy, that I cannot but regar¢ the other as bad, corrupt, an¢ Wicked. Loving the one 1 mus hate the other; holding to the one I must reject the other.” (Se Douglass’ "My Bondage and Bree dom,” 1855 edition, pp. 415-416.) 1s may be that there were times in the life of Douglass, when thi Master aid to him, “O cy Vitel faith,” but he was éver the faithfu a Fy 3 eee And, a 1¢ began his Christian life in ‘th ee ee ee or earth was ended, his noble forn wanted ts Wathbediem Citefe taenasi ISRAEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.

While the famous arbiter would leave no address, we have reason to believe that we will hear from him before long—either to the extent that he's returning or wants to return—but can't. Scrip Lee, ex-Hildale slab artist and at one time the only pitcher in the Eastern League using the submarine delivery, is "calling 'em" for the Washington Black Sox alongside of Danny Despert, the old reliable. Lee is working the vacancy left by Tom Payne. His first experience as an arbiter showed promise of success. Coach Louie Watson has been called on to serve an "indefinite" term under contract as head coach of football at Howard University. It is "indefinite" whether or not he'll accept. The golf bugs are slowly but surely being exterminated with the spreading of "Heatulstopem," the old product now being used with a new viciousness for the riddance of golfers and the preventative against enjoyment. Somehow or other though, we feel sure that with the arrival of a cool spell the "pill pushers" will be back in harness with iron and wood. Talking about surprises! I was sure I'd be scaled by some of the Country Club members before the week was out, but evidently my article criticizing the condition of the National Capitol Country Club was read by them with a "them's my sentiments exactly" attitude. I see by the papers—Gene Tunney has everything to lose and nothing to gain in his fight with Tom Heeney, the hick, next week. If Tunney wins, the experts say, it'll be no more than what was expected considering Heeney's class, but if Tunney happens to get a gnat in his eye, and accidently gets pounded on the beezer then everybody's cry about what a big "false alarm" he was. Well, we agree with them, but—we wonder where all those experts were before Godfrey met Risko—and in a ring which was crowded with the presence of one of Tex Rickard's lieutenants who-refereed? Some more of the older heads of local baseball has cast lots with the Washington Tribune Baseball League. Toots Brown, Willie Hope, Sherman Bayior, Ellsworth Beverly and Ed Ross join the present cast of old timers, which include Nuley Stewart, Pickles Fells, Peck Banks and Erma Euell. A new wire fence around the Howard Playground tennis courts shows that the grounds are working for the comfort of its players. Since the job as superintendent of the Francis Junior High Municipal Pool is "too big" for a Negro, it seems to us the pool itself should be "too small" to be an inducement for us to spend our quarters and dimes to use it.—And that goes. MONARCHS ARE HALTED BY BROOKLAND MONARCHS ARE HALTED BY BROOKLAND Brookland, D.C.-The winning ways of the crack Monarch A.C., were temporarily halted when, in the confines of the Brookland Giants they suffered a 6-5 setback, Sunday. Frank Coates, taking his stand at the rubber in the closing half of the ninth, crashed out a vicious smack for the circuit to break a 5-5 deadlock and call a halt to hostilities. Vincent and Kenny engaged in a pitcher's battle until the former was relieved by Euell in the closing stanzas. BLACK SOX WIN AND LOSE The Washington Black Sox split in their double bill with the All Stars (white) at Union League Park, last Sunday. The score of the first game, won by the Stars was 8-2 while the nightcap was decided by a 6-2 count. Gil Bland did mound work for the Sox in the opener while the hustling duties of the curtain dropper were handled by Lefty George Smith. THE SPORT REVIEW White Sports Writer Says Godfrey Was Easy Best White Sports Writer Says Godfrey Was Easy Best The Tribune sport editor has searched tirelessly for opinions of leading critics on the verdict in the recent Godfrey-Risko match in which the Negro was returned the loser. There have been many cases where losses in sports events have been alibied groundlessly, but because of the numerous requests of our sport fans for information on that fight we have reproduced several articles which might serve to show how absurd was that decision. "If George Godfrey had been a white man there might have been trouble following the decision against him in his bout with Johnny Risko at Ebbets Field Wednesday night. For eight of the ten rounds, the big Negro had fairly played with the comparatively little boy from Cleveland. Spectators around the ringside, or near where we sat were beginning to groan their disapproval of boxing rules that permitted of what looked so an unequal a match. It was like a man fighting a boy. Godfrey plainly was boxing under wraps, as if he feared the consequences of hurting Risko too much. He even refrained from hitting Risko on the head, and on the rare occasions, about twice, when he let go a right for Johnny's jaw, he knocked him nearly the entire width of the ring. "The Negro confined his attack to blows about Johnny's body, and several times when Risko perceptibly wilted from their effects and seemed about to collapse Godfrey appeared to hold him. "Johnny, of course, was manfully aggressive, but he never hurt the Negro. Once in a while, he landed an overhand right and, in close, beat Godfrey around the ribs as he would beat a bass drum. Those punches had as much effect on the big man as they might have had on the drum. In clinches, Risko was like a baby in Godfrey's arms. The latter just spread Johnny's arms apart and moved him wherever he wanted. "In the last two rounds, Godfrey, evidently thinking he had the fight won, went on the defensive and permitted Risko to charge into him with little attempt to hold him off. THIRTY HITS WIN FOR PIEDMONTS NOSE OUT HUNTSVILLE GIANTS TENLEYTOWN NINE THIRTY HITS WIN FOR PIEDMONTS NOSE OUT HUNTSVILLE GIANTS TENLEYTOWN NINE Agriculture and Government Printing Office locked horns in a crucial game, the latter winning, 16-13, due directly to errors of omission. Grant's misjudgment of a liner off the bat of "Toots" Brown with two on being a deciding factor, the blow went for a homer. Brown and Slade, starting twirlers, were bombarded from the hill, Powell and Bailey doing good work as relief hurlers, but G.P.O. went into an early lead and was never headed. J. Moore, with two homers, a double and single, led his team at bat. Brown hit two homers, Slade, Manley and Craig one each. After forfeiting a game to Navy Yard the previous day, Treasury lined up its reserves and accomplished what was apparently a herculean task by toppling G.P.O. from its lofty perch and administering their first defeat of the season in a well deserved victory. Williams and Veney played a big part in the victory, the former at bat, the latter a great game of field, having six different chances, which he handled in a manner befitting a star of the Majors. Moten pitched a great game, while Neal was banged all over the lot. Powell was touched up for five hits and three runs, but struck out five. As there has been only two games played, there is little or no change in batting standing. Due to being idle, the leaders have kept their averages. Dandridge, G.P.O., CELTIC A.C.

ARLINGTON MERCILESS IN 20-0 VICTORY ARLINGTON, Va.—With 11 of their 13 players pounding out a total of 26 hits, the fast Arlington Athletics took the measure of the Forestville A.C., by the overwhelming score of 20-0 here, before several hundred Tribune League fans, last Sunday, George Lee, local hot corner guardian, met the pill four times. His efforts netted him two homers, a triple and a double. His uncessant fail work was of material aid to his flinger, Madison, who was laboring diligently in holding the Forestvilleans to a scant brace of bingles. ** Errors—Addison, Holmes, Gillian, West.

BLACK BARONS KEEP UP WINNNG PACE IVY CITY—Webb Lee's Ivy City Togans suffered another setback, Sunday. They took their seventh defeat of the season from the climbing Black Barons by a score of 8-2. The game was a good clean contest from start to finish, and though the outcome was never in doubt, both Harvey and Hawkins, Togan pitchers, gave good accounts of themselves. ** Barons ab h r Togans ab h r Hoggie,rf ab h r Haggarn,lb ab h r Johnson,rf 1 0 0 H.Johnson, 4 1 0 Chase,as 1 0 0 H.Johnson, 4 1 0 Jason,as 1 0 0 Jason, 4 1 0 Bush,c 2 1 1 King, 4 1 0 Hawkins,lb 1 1 0 Stevenson, 4 1 0 Titt,2b 2 1 1 all,lf 4 1 0 Titt,2b 2 1 1 Plect.fl, 1 1 0 Newton,3b 2 1 1 Taylor,3b, 3 0 0 Dixon,lf 2 0 0 Harvey,p 2 0 0 Emic,lf 2 0 0 Harwkins,p 1 0 0 Dump,w 2 1 0 Totals, 33 6 2 Bundy, 2 1 0 Tqtals, 32 8 0 Braun, 1 1 0 0 40 0 2 0-8 Togans, 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0-2 Stolen bases- Hoggie, Buck, Jackson, Bell, Hargan, Two-hase hits- Jackson, Hargan, Two-hase hits- Hargan, Struck of by Matthews, by Bundy, 1 by Harvey, 3 by Hawkins, 2 ANACOSTIA ADDS STARS TO LIST OF VICTIMS ANACOSTIA ADDS STARS TO LIST OF VICTIMS ANACOSTIA, D.C.—The Anacostia Athletics counted the Washington All-Stars out by a score of 19-2, here last Sunday.

Evening World) 一 DEPARTRMENTA LLEAGUE OUTLOOK By Wm. C. Traynham THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1928 Managers of Sandlot Teams Managers of amateur and sandlot baseball teams are advised that the Tribune Sports Department deadline on box of games played, Sunday is Tuesday night. Owing to the great amount of time needed for the editing, setting on linotype and assembling of box scores, the earlier they are sent in the better the chance of their being run Tuesday night, however, is the absolute latest for Sunday games. Looked as if he wanted Risko to make a showing. When the last bell rang Godfrey went to his corner without drawing a long breath "When Joe Humphries grabbed Risko's arm and held it up as the winner, Johnny was probably the most surprised man in the field. The Negro grunted and left the ring with a what's the use expression. "As we picked our way outside the field in a big aurging crowd, all we could hear was that the decision was an outrage, if not an out-and-out robbery; that sports-manship called for fair play, at least. That was the general comment of those in the train home, too. "It wasn't in the cards for Godfrey to win, apparently. Even Referee Lou Magnolia was against him and showed that his sympathies were with Riske by his manner of breaking the men whenever they became locked. Early in the bout he warned Godfrey to keep his blows up when there was no need of such remarks; for Godfrey was fair all through and at times a bit kindly spirited and more merciful than most fighters are in the ring. It looked to us that he might have battered Johnny to a pulp any time he started with that idea in mind." That, from the pen of a white sports writer, is a far more eloquent story of the battle than anything we can think of and we submit it to you, in the face of what has been said by others. Don't blame Godfrey—he put up the best fight he has ever given in these parts against a new edition of a "Bartley Madden." PIEDMONTS·NOSE OUT TENLEYTOWN NINE SIXTH AND K STS.—Though outfit by their Tenleytown A.C., rivals, the Piedmont A.C., with Toots Brown, ex-LeDroit Tiger, in the line-up, took the measure of the northenders by a score of 6-5, here last Sunday. George Adams, with three hits, led the batters, while his newly acquired teammate, Brown, connected for a pair of safe swats.

NINE On last Sunday, the champion Orientals took both ends of a doubleheader from the Hess A. C., strong local white club, on their diamond on the "Point." The score in the first game, which went 12 innings was 2 to 1, and the second game was 11 to 2. The first game developed to be a real pitchers' battle between Powell of the Orientals and Hayes, of the Hess. Powell showed oldtime form in holding the opposition to three hits and one run, over the twelve innings. The Orientalis garnered seven hits off Hayes, but he kept them well scattered, which shows why the Orientalis were only able to score twice. R. Davis and Blas of the Orientalis, and Smith of Hess, brought the large crowd to their feet several times, with their sensational playing. Manager MacAdams of the Orientalis showed the fans that he could still take his turn on the mound, and used the old souphe to advantage, by holding the Hess to four hits and two runs, while his mates were gathering eleven hits for as many runs off Lovejoy and Wood. Sunday, the champions will meet the Myrle A.C., in a doubledheader on the "Point," the first game starting at 1:30 p.m. COLESVILLE TRIMS THE POTOMAC GIANTS MONUMENT 8—In spite of the relentless batting of "Steve" Williams, the local Potomac Giants went down to their second straight defeat of the season at the hands of the 1927 champion Coleville Lion nine, in a Tribune League game. Sunday. The score was 11-6. Williams enjoyed a creditable day at the plate with four hits, two of which were for the circuit. Campbell, Coleville second baseman, with four hits, including a double, triple and homer, vied with the Giant swatsmith for batting honors for the day. Beverly, former LeDroit Tiger pitcher, started the game for the Potomac, but was unable to last. * Coleville. ab h 5 j Potomac Tiger Webster,3b... 5 2 1 1 ab h Lancaster,3b... 4 5 0 1 Robinson,ef... 5 0 0 Kelly,cf... 5 2 3 Williams,2b... 5 4 3 W.hysong,e... 5 2 1 Venif,ey... 5 1 1 Canfield,1b... 4 2 Garde,jr... 5 1 1 Lomax,if... 4 2 2 Cohen,je... 5 1 1 Campbell,2b... 4 2 2 G.Harris,us... 1 0 0 Thomas,r... 5 0 0 Faftax,ef... 3 1 1 S.Prazier,r... 5 0 0 J.Harris,ep... 5 1 0 Bishop,1b... 5 1 1 Ross,3b... 5 1 0 Totals... 41 11 1 Proctor,2b... 2 0 0 Totals... 42 11 6 Two-base hits—Campbell, Webster, Lomax, base hits—Bishop, Campbell.

"I am a martyr to the cause I represent, Negro leadership. Persecution is the price of martyrdom. Prison walls to martyrms are like palaces of the nobility. I am perfectly willing to be offered up, paying the price of martyrdom. A cause is certainly far greater than the individual.

IN THE HONEST DEALER WHO SELLS THE BEST PRODUCT ON THE MARKET, SHOULD BE YOUR BEST SAFEGUARD IN BUYING GASOLINE AND MOTOR OIL EIGHT --- BROADWAY THEATRE The week's offering at the Broadway Theatre will begin with that sterling good he-man actor, Jack Holt, supported by Dorothy Revier, in a new type role for him, in which the lives and romances of the gypsies are vividly portrayed, including the "Dance of Death." The picture is "The Tigress" and will be shown Sunday and Monday. For Tuesday only, Betty Compson and Kenneth Harlan will be seen in a crook play, with an amazing and baffling plot, "Cheating Cheaters." Wednesday and Thursday, Ruth Taylor, Ford Sterling, Holmes Herbert and Chester Conkin appear in Paramount's great success, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." For Friday and Saturday, "Ranger," the dog that acts like a man and fights like a demon, will be seen in "The Law of Fear." This is a drama steeped in mystery and jammed with thrills. Thursday is talent night, and Saturday night is country store night. A week from this coming Sunday there will be shown the greatest screen lover that ever lived, Rudolph Valentino in "The Eagle." REPUBLIC THEATRE For the entire week beginning Sunday, July 22, at 3 p.m., the Republic Theatre will present the second: Vitaphone talking feature, "Glorious Betsy" featuring Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel. "Glorious Betsy" is the second of a series of talking pictures of which "Tenderloin" was the first. In these pictures Vitaphone is realistically used to bring out the human voice in dialogue. But there is still more in "Glorious Betsy." Besides the speaking parts that stirring air "The Marsellaise" is rendered by Pasquale Amato, Metropolitan Opera star, who has a prominent part in the picture. The story of "Glorious Betsy" deals with the exciting and glamorous love affair between Betsy Patterson, belle of Baltimore, known as "Glorious Betsy" and Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon. The love of the American girl and the young Frenchmen resulted in what was perhaps the first international marriage. Almost every instance in the play is an historical fact. It is impossible to portray the thrilling effect of the spoken words in the dramatic moments of the play, or the effect when words give place to the magnificent interpretative orchestra of 100 pieces. "Glorious Betsy" was directed by Alan Crossland, the man who made "The Jazz Singer." All the voices stand out with marvelous clarity. Don't fail to witness the latest marvel of the entertainment world. This will be an all-Vitaphone bill for in addition to the talking feature there will be three Vitaphone acts. Jimmy Clemons will be in a Vitaphone comedy entitled "Dream Cafe." It is a story of a bridegroom to be who has imbibed too freely the night before his wedding. It's cleverness is interwoven with songs and dances. In "A Blacksmith Shop," featuring a sexette of soloists, is another of the acts. A drama, "The Death Ship," featuring Mitchell Lewis, the heaviest villian in the movies, rounds out this great all-Vitaphone program. LINCOLN THEATRE Eulogizing a day when Gauchos rode the boundless Pampas and the law of might made right, Douglas Fairbanks comes forth in his thrilling new United Artists production, as "The Gaucho," which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. A more colorful romance than this South American story, with its majestic scenery, its tense rivalries and conquests, could scarcely be conceived. Again, Fairbanks, actor-producer, brings to his world audience a screen narrative destined to rank with the epics of all time. The star has the role of a bandit chief, the leader of a horde of Gaucho riders, who cross the mountains and occupy a stately shrine city whose wealth is the prey of the cruel usurper of the country. A mudcap mountain lass (Lupe Velez), thrilled by the notoriety of the Gaucho chief, joins him on route. News of the outlaw's presence reaches the usurper (Gustax von Seyffertitz), who puts a price on his head. The Vitaphone presentations for the entire week will be Ted Doner, Broadway's favorite dance man, and a chorus of his sun-kissed beauties; Willie and Eugene Howard in an entirely new Vitaphone comedy; and Johnny Marvin, who is a musical comedy star and Victor recording artist, in a selection of his latest numbers. This is the first time that these Vitaphone presentations have been shown to the Washington theatre-going public. To further round out the pro HOWARD THEATRE ENTIRE NEW SUMMER. POLICY AT THE HOWARD THEATRE On Sunday, July 22, the Howard Theatre passes from the management of the Lichtman theatre interests to that of the leading colored producer, Irvin C. Miller, who will operate the theatre for the remaining six weeks of the summer season, that is, until Labor Day, when it will again revert to the management of the Lichtman theatres. For the summer season, Mr. Miller plans to operate on an entirely new policy, with musical offerings as well as photo-plays. Mr. Miller also plans on maintaining the same schedule that has been so consistent in the past years, of three shows a day, but with new summer admission prices, namely, matinees until 5 p.m., 25c to all; evenings, after 5, and all day Sundays, balcony, 25c, orchestra, 40c. The usual big Miditeam Ramble will also be held on Friday nights, at 12:15. The first of the musical offerings that Mr. Miller will present will be "A Trip to Paris," with a large cast, including George Crawford, Arthur Allen, Helen Powell, John Henderson, Gladys Thompson, Cuney Connors, Saltus and Boatner, and last, but not least, a bevy of brown-skin Parisian beauties. As the photoplay offering for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, there will be seen screenroom's most famous comedy team, Karl Dane and George K. Arthur, the comedians responsible for "Rookies," and "Baby Mine," in "Circus Rookies," said to be the most hilarious of the season's comedies. "The Actress," will be shown Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. SUBURBAN GARDENS two inbred ideas have been discarded by those who saw the circus at Suburban Gardens this week. We have been taught that elephants are the most intelligent animals in the world, and we be believed that horses could only prince to the strains of music. We now believe that the horse is the most intelligent animal, and that horses can "dance" and keep time to jazz music. When Egilin's Orchestra jazzed it up at the Gardens, Mme. Bedin's horses really did their stuff. If horses can appreciate applause—they are happy. The circus has made such a hit with the public that two performances are given, one at nine o'clock and one at eleven. gram, on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday only, the Fox Movie-Tone News will be seen as well as heard. While, on Saturday, the Universal chapter play, "The Scarlet Arrow" will also be shown. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JULY 20. 1928 DUNBAR THEATRE "Casey Jones," considered the greatest of all railroad stories will be shown for the first time at the Dunbar Theatre, Seventh and T streets, northwest, on Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22. It is a Rayart picture featuring Ralph Lewis, Kate Price, Al St. John, Jason Robards, Anne Sheridan, and Brooks Benedict. PERRY HOWARD IS INDICTED (Continued from page 1) leased in bonds of $10,000 each. Patton has long been a familiar figure in Republican politics in this state. He has served on every state delegation to the Republican national convention from this state in the past 25 years. The special grand jury which is conducting an investigation into the alleged battering of Federal patronage was convened here last Wednesday by United States Judge E. R. Holmes. He acted under instructions from Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, an Assistant United States Attorney General, who came here from Washington with an assistant to push the probe. Hoover's Move? The investigation has many ramifications. One aspect is political. Another is racial. Its purpose, it is commonly reported here, is to wrest control of the Republican party organization in this state from the hands of Negroes. Before the special grand jury was convened, T. J. Wills, an attorney of Hattiesburg, who represented the "illy-white" faction in their court proceedings against the Perry Howard organization, in a statement appearing in the daily press July 10, said: "I learned before the Republican national convention got under way that if Mr. Hoover was nominated, action would be taken to remedy the situation in Mississippi and that the present corrupt leaders would not remain in power for any great length of time. I have every reason to believe that legal recourse will be had before long that will lead to a house cleaning in the Republican party in Mississippi and a new deal under the leadership of Lamont Rowlands of Picayune as national committeeman for this state." Racial Aspect Noted Mr. Wills concluded with a statement that he firmly believed that government agencies were at work in an effort to eliminate those in charge of Republican politics in Mississippi. The racial aspect was given significance upon the arrival of Mrs. Willebrandt from Washington. She boldly declared, it is reported here, that she had come to the relief of the white people of Mississippi from Negro domination in Republican politics, and she promised the dawn of a new day. The surprising element is that the Department of Justice is lending itself to a scheme of this kind. The site for the grand jury proceedings was carefully chosen with a view to hostility to Perry Howard and his associates. This section of Mississippi is the stronghold of the "illy whites" who sought to oust him at Kansas City. The sending of Mrs. Willebrandt into Mississippi provcure the indictment against Howard and his political associates is believed to have been the master stroke of those who are determined to return the Republican organization in Mississippi to white control. She is a white woman. With Hoover's Sanction There have been three previous investigations of alleged irregularities in patronage distribution in Mississippi. Post office inspectors conducted one, agents of the Department of Justice another, and a Federal grand jury in the northern district of Mississippi a third. None of these investigations, a congressional committee decided, disclosed any bartering of Federal patronage, and no effort to indict colored Republican leaders was made until the beginning of the Hoover presidential campaign. According to Senator Smith W. Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the subcommittee of the Senate post office committee, with whom Mrs. Willebrandt conferred in Atlanta, Ga., before coming here, the investigation has the approval of Herbert C. Hoover, the Republican presidential candidate. In a statement last Friday, Senator Brookhart declared that full credit is due Mr. Hoover for the work in cleaning up the patronage situation in the South. Four of those under indictment here were delegates to the Republican national convention. They are Perry W. Howard, A. M. and S. D. Redmond and E. L. Patton. They supported Mr. Hoover and voted for his nomination. If these men are corrupt now, it is pointed out, they were corrupt then, and there is a taint of corruption surrounding the nomination of Mr. Hoover. Another aspect to the special grand jury investigation is the fight for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator from this state. Representative T. Webber Wilson, of the sixth congressional district, is opposing Senator Hubert D. Stephens for renomination. Mr. Wilson is making his fight on white supremacy. In speech after speech he has charged Senator Stephens with aiding Perry Howard and his associates in controlling Republican politics in Mississippi by conniving at their handling of Federal patronage. Wilson was one of the principal witnesses before the special grand jury. When it was convened, he quit a campaign tour to come here and testify. The return of the indictments, it is believed, will aid him in his campaign. For Picnics For Dances Love Nest Park 61st Street and Eastern Ave., N.E.

Makel, 28, 1121 Browning street, northeast, and Northern Lille, 36, 121 Sixteenth street, northeast, both employees of the City Postoffice Mailing Division, held on charges of larceny from the United States mails, for the action of the grand jury, last Monday morning. The men, according to police, have for nearly a year, taken advantage of the liberties enjoyed by them as assorters in the mailing division. Makel, when arrested by Headquarters detectives George Darnell and Thomas Sweeney, was wearing a gold watch, a diamond stickpin, and two diamond rings. Lilley was, at the time of his arrest, in possession of a gold watch and several pawn tickets for articles which had been stolen. When questioned Makel declared he had found the watch and stickpin in the mailing room and had failed to turn them in. The rings, he told police, he bought from a man who is now dead. Lilley confessed to the robbery. SEEKS TO ENJOIN RIVAL FIRM Asserting that a sign which uses his address in advertising the business of a competitor is injurious to the operation of his business, Herbert Harris, 2112 Massachusetts avenue, northwest, filed a suit of injunction against Frank S. Little, 2127 P. street, northwest, early this week. The complainant is represented by Attorney Peter B. Richardson. Mr. Harris, who operates an automobile washing and storage business in the rear of his address, points out that his rival, whose business place is situated just across the alley, has no right to advertise as the "Massachusetts Avenue Carage, Rear 2112 Massachusetts avenue." Mr. Harris contends that the use of his address by Mr. Little brings to him no little annoyance from collectors, as well as a loss of business.

ORANGEBURG, S.C.—A study of Negro education in South Caro- lina by H. D. Gregg, reveals facts that have been praised and com- mended by educational authorities in and out of the state. This is said to be the first attempt to ap- proach scientifically the problem @f Negro education in South Caro- lina. ‘Tir. Gregg in his study point- @d out that the average public scheol teacher in South Carolina receives the scant salary of $289.05 & year; and that the average length ef the school term in the state is ve months and two weeks. The school rooms are congested te the doors as the average number of anil per. epeber is WOAor 60 ang thermore a teacher in: ath Carolina must teach at least three grades in the same room since the average number of . grades taught by teachers in the state are 3.27 grades. In some instances a teacher teaches six, seven or eight grades. The writer lamented the fact that such bare necessities a5 adequate blackboards, teachers’ desks, pupils’ desks, ‘drill pads, globes, wall maps and other equip- ments'are not found in fifty per cent of the schools. A hopeful sign is seen in the in- tense interest manifested by the tate agent for Negro schools and his assistant as well as the willing- nets of South Carolina teachers to “carry on” in spite of difficulties. Mr. Gregg closes his study of some seventy typewritten pages (soon to be published) including twenty tables and charts, by saying that far be it from his sphere to even infere what a great state should or should not do. Ms. Gregg is = Lincoln, Colum- bia and Yale es, He has been in South but a few years. WILKINSON AT PENN. Garnett C.
