TENNESSEE LILY WHITES SEEK TO DISCREDIT BOB CHURCH
Mrs. Mary Booze Not Invited to G.O.P. Luncheon
In an interview last Wednesday, he said that the Democrats were responsible for this charge. But he could give no explanation for
After Mrs. Bracy moved, things went along nicely for a couple of days, until last Wednesday. She was passing Miss Green's house, the court was told, when the latter came out of the house and handed her some neckties which belonged to Mr. Bracy and which had been left when the Bracys moved. A description of what followed was told Judge Hitt by the two women. Both stories agreed with but one exception. One said the other struck first, and the other contended that she struck only after being struck. At any rate Judge Hitt admitted he didn't know who struck first and the case was dismissed.
Eating fish on Sunday caused Willie Braxton, 2007 Ninth street, northwest, to seek hospital treatment when a bone of his breakfast lodged in his throat. Braxton had Dr. C. S. Syphax remove the prickly matter and walked home. Except for the inconvenience he suffered in not being able to finish his breakfast, Braxton was not hurt.

Lily Whites in Tennessee Invite Mrs. Willebrandt to State
HOOVER PEOPLE HESI-TANT
Slemp of "Dear Ben" Fame Given Post of Honor by Work
The success of "lily white" Republicans in having Perry W. Howard, Republican national committee, and seven of his associates indicted by a special Federal grand jury in Mississippi for the alleged sale of public offices has encouraged "lily whites" in Tennessee to renew their fight on Robert R. Church, political leader, of Memphis.
Mrs. Mabel Walke. Willebrandt, assistant Attorney General, who went to Mississippi and personally saw to the indictment of Howard and his associates, has been invited by "lily-white" Republicans to come to Tennessee and bring about the indictment of Mr. Church on similar charges.
The "ily-whites" promise to carry Tennessee for Hoover if Mr. Church is discredited and thrown into the discard with other colored leaders.
Until "After" Election
The Hoover campaign management, it is believed, has enough of patronage investigations until after the presidential election at least. The indictment of Mr. Howard and his associates has given them too much concern, the protest of Negro voters in northeastern states where the campaign is to be waged this fall having alarmed the party bosses.
Chairman Hubert Work of the Republican national committee, would have colored voters believe that there is no connection between the indictment of Mr. Howard and his associates in Mississippi and the efforts of the Republican party to break into the "Solid South."

"JUST KIDDING" CASE IS DISMISSED

"He was just playing with me, Judge, I didn't have him locked up" said the girl. "Yes, sir, Judge, I was just kidding, 'cause to tell you the truth, Judge, I don't want to hurt her," declared Belcher. The case was dismissed.
DR. WILLISTON IS BURIED FROM RANKIN CHAPEL
A host of relatives, friends and admirers crowded the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel of Howard University, Tuesday, to pay homage to Dr. Edward Davis Williston, who died after a lingering illness, at his home, 1512 S street, northwest, at 9:50 o'clock, last Sunday morning.
Rev. William V. Tunnell officiated. He was assisted by Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor of the Bureau Baptist Church.
The funeral services were simple. There was no sermon. Rev. Tunnell paid the obituary. Rev. Rivers paid tribute to Dr. Williston as a friend. He spoke of the doctor as a philanthropist and humanitarian.
Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, of which faculty Dr. Williston was a member, spoke. Dr. John W. Mitchell read an interesting paper concerning Dr. Williston's connection with the medical school from 1894 to his death. Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, who was a classmate of Dr. Williston, told of his work at the hospital and of their acquaintance and personal friendship which began in 1891, when they entered the medical school.
Dr. Williston was born in Fayetteville, N.C., December 24, 1865. He came to this city after graduating from the Fayetteville Normal School in 1881, and has been a resident since. In 1888, Dr. Williston (Continued on page 2)

J. R. HAWKINS SLATED TO HEAD G. O. P. ACTIVITIES AMONG NEGRO VOTERS
THE URBAN LEAGUE FINDS NEGROES ARE ORGANIZING TO GET EMPLOYMENT
A definite announcement of the scheme of organization for the handling of the Hoover campaign among colored voters is expected this week from Chairman Hubert Work, of the Republican national committee.
As late as Thursday nothing definite had been done toward perfecting an organization of workers to stem the revolt of colored voters against the Republican party, it was stated at the headquarters in the Barr building. Selection of personnel and agreement on campaign plans were under consideration, it was said, but had not been approved by Chairman Work.
It was learned that a tentative draft of plans and personnel is in the hands of Walter F. Brown, assistant Secretary of Commerce, who was one of the Hoover chieftains in the preconvention fight. Mr. Brown is to have general supervision of the work among colored voters, it is said. Horace Mann, who is functioning in the Munsey building as the director of campaign activities in certain southern states, has been relieved of the duty of supervising the colored work.
THE URBAN L NEGROES ARE TO GET EM
MILLION-DOLLAR BLDG. PLANNED FOR U STREET
The Smith Transfer and Storage Company, whose large trucks are a daily adornment of the north side of U street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, northwest, raised the only objection against the application of the National Arcade Company, white, to have the height restriction of certain buildings near the storage plant raised from 60 to 110 feet for the purpose of erecting a large amusement house and office building for Negroes.
Representatives of the Arcade Company appeared before the Zoning Commission, Wednesday, and exhibited plans for the building of a million-dollar structure on the site now occupied by houses numbered from 1333 to 1341 U street. They pointed out, however, that it would be very necessary, in order to make the return on the investment adequate, to raise the height restriction.
To Seat 4000 Persons
The plans for the structure call for a recreational center containing a dance hall, pool rooms, bowling alleys and an auditorium with a seating capacity of 4,000.
There was no objection other than the one voiced by the storage company. They contended that the erection of a 110 foot building would create business congestion on such a narrow street.
The National Arcade Company is a syndicate, said to be worth millions of dollars, which is erecting recreational centers and hotels for Negroes in every large city of the country. It is the same corporation which erected the building which houses the palatial Regal Theatre and beautiful Savoy Ball Room at Forty-seventh street and Parkway, Chicago, Ill. It also operates the Savoy Ball Room, in New York City.
As a coincidence, with the selection of Mr. Brown to supervise the colored work, Clarence R. Vena, of Toledo, Ohio, his colored political ally, arrived here. Mr. Vena first came upon the political scene here when Mr. Brown was appointed an assistant secretary of Commerce to help direct the Hoover fight for the nomination. According to the latest unofficial report from reliable sources, John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and president of the Prudential Bank, is to direct the Hoover presidential campaign among colored voters. Mr. Hawkins was one of those who seconded the nomination of Mr. Hoover at the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo. The question of personnel to handle the colored end of the campaign, it is said, was settled Wednesday morning in a conference in the office of Assistant Secretary of Commerce Walter F. Brown. Mr. Hawkins, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Albon L. Holsey, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and Claude A. Barnett. (Continued on page 2)
EAGUE FINDS ORGANIZING IPLOYMENT
NEW YORK CITY—The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League of which T. Arnold Hill is director, has issued the following bulletin on employment conditions:
June proved an ordinary month in employment activities. It gave rise to considerable speculation as to whether or not unemployment was increasing or declining. May was a most favorable month and showed signs of continued prosperity in industry, but the picture changed in June, although the month closed with the prediction that steel and automobile production would rank high.
A few instances reflect the activities among Negroes. The chief sign of progress was the apparent awakening of individuals in several cities to the need of organizing colored men and women to make effective appeals to employers for jobs. The Colored Negro Voters' Advisory Association of Denver, taking advantage of political activities throughout the country and particularly in Colorado, has asked employers to give men and women jobs in positions that have been closed to them. The Economic and Industrial Association of Cambridge is making similar appeals. Citizens of Dayton, protesting against the failure of the shops there to employ colored men, have become aroused over the situation, and a survey is being made to determine the extent of the problem.
Tobacco Factories
Two thousand additional Negroes went to work in Winston-Salem, N.C., in a new tobacco factory built by the R. J. Reynolds' Company which closed up factories in Jersey City and Richmond, Va., when the new buildings were constructed in Winston-Salem. In Portland, Oregon, there is hope for the employment of a colored policewoman now that a volunteer has been appointed as a forerun- (Continued on page 4)

TOBIAS SPEAKS ON HOUSING PROBLEM
NEW YORK CITY—Assailing the increasingly crowded living conditions of the Negro populations of New York, Boston and other cities of the North as a dangerous menace to the health and morals of the country as a whole. the Rev. Channing H. Tobias of New York city, senior secretary of the colored work department of the National Council of the Y.M. C.A., made a plea for reasonable housing districts for Negroes in a recent meeting at East Northfield, Mass. His speeches in the afternoon and evening were outstanding features on the program devoted to study of the problems of Negroes by delegates to the Northfield Foreign Missionary Conference.

Reports disclosed progress along all lines, the industrial life department showing the largest proportionate increase, followed closed by ordinary and casualty gains.
Attention was called to the recently completed modern branch office building erected and owned by the company at Cincinnati, and to the complete unencumbrance not only of this valuable realty but also of the company's beautiful home office.
A considerable number of mortgage loans were negotiated during the past fiscal year, all of it being in properties owned in full or in part by Negroes and in a number of cases ownership was saved by mortgage loans.

G.O.P. Women Perturbed When Nat'l Committeewoman Walks in
Mrs. Mary C. Booze, Republican national committeewoman for Mississippi, denied Thursday, that there was any discrimination involved in her failure to attend the luncheon given by Mrs. Alvin T. Hert following the business meeting of the women here Tuesday. Mrs. Booze attended the business session, but left before the luncheon.
Mrs. Herl explained the Mrs. Booze was not included among her luncheon guests because there was no room for her. It was not expected that Mrs. Booze would attend. The meeting was of eastern and New England and Republican national women, but Mrs. Hert had not any committeewoman v. happened to be in Washington would be welcomed.
Mrs. Booze had heard that the Hoover campaign management planned to remove every tinge of color from the leadership of the party in southern states. Her colleague, Perry W. Howard, is under indictment for alleged patronage abuses. Benjamin Jefferson Davis, the former national committeeman for Georgia, is without a successor, his opponent, Joseph H. Watson, being a colored man.
The Mississippi committeewoman with these facts in mind came to get first hand information relative to the action of her party in ridding itself of Negro leadership in southern states.
Her presence seemingly perturbed some of the members of the committee attending the meeting. It was first noticeable when photographers appeared. It became more apparent as the luncheon hour approached. Before the luncheon hour, however, after several min- (Continued on page 2)

Mrs. Gertrude Neal, wife of James F. Neal, of 1406 Sixth street, northwest, was painfully injured as a result of an automobile accident, Wednesday night, at the intersection of First and Douglas streets. She was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was treated for shock and for a severe cut on the arms.
The accident occurred when the steering wheel of a Ford coupe driven by Mrs. Neal's husband, locked as he was turning into First street. The Ford ran into a Ford sedan driven by Alfred Washington. The coupe turned over and Mrs. Neal's arm was caught between the door and the pavement.
No one in the sedan was injured. Miss Ethel Herron, of 424 Ridge st., and Miss Missie Bass Armstead, of 117 P street, were in Mr. Washington's car, but were not injured.
COLLEGE ENROLLMENT SHOWS INCREASE
GREENSBORO, N.C., July 26. Advanced registration at Bennett College for Women indicates that the enrollment the ensuing year will be considerably in excess of the registration during the past year.
During the past year the enrollment of the college department leaped from ten, which was the enrollment the year before, to fifty-one in the first two years of college. Next year the third year of college will be added, and from present indications it seems reasonable to predict that at least a hundred young women will be registered for the first three years.

WHEN MRS. CLEM SHAVER AND MRS. WILLEBRANDT finish reorganizing the Democratic and Republican parties, and cabinet posts are held by a few additional "ancient mariners" like Sargent and Kellogg, Saint Peter and his hosts will move right down to earth to enjoy the millennium "For white people only." Women over 40 and men over 60 can raise more h—, with no danger to themselves, than any group alive.
THE MILITANT, AMBITIOUS ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, "freeing the white South from Negro political control," has simply shown the unreconstructed rebels how speedily federal law can act, when it is invoked as it ought to be; few colored men and women will be denied the right to vote, now, if they will register. Perry Howard and his colleagues may, in the end, be martyrs to a good cause.
CRIME IS DUE TO INBORN CUSSEDNESS AND, OR, TO BAD SOCIAL CONDITIONS. Not long ago we heard of a group of local men and women who were going to find out what and which, as affecting our disgraceful record here in Washington, but "there is silence;" the brothers and sisters we have been talking about will please come forth and report.
THE LATE MARK HANNA, WHO MADE McKINLEY PRESIDENT, ruthlessly slaughtered the late Norris Wright Cuney, the undaunted and incomparable colored Republican National Committeeman from Texas for ten years prior to 1896, when he refused to be disloyal to his friends, Senator Allison and big-hearted Thomas Bracket Reed; the state of Texas proclaimed Cuney a man of honor, integrity and dignity, according to the biography by Maude Cuney Hare, standing unrefuted by press pulpit or forum in that commonwealth along the Rio Grande, founded by physical and moral courage.
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TEACHERS IN COL- ORED SCHOOLS No more significant gathering occurs annually than that of the associated teachers of our children in southern schools, in their annual convention. It occurs this week, in Charleston, West Virginia. It will not create the furor of a meeting of some more spectacular fraternal organization. It will not receive the publicity that would be given to a meeting of an equal number of delegates to a political pow wow. It, for some reason, does not interest the teachers of this city, neither in their many groups and cliques nor in their weakly associated capacity.
It was W. E. B. DuBois, who wrote many years ago: "The Negro is the only group that laughs at itself and wishes to God it were something else." He might, today, write that certain teachers of colored children are members of the only group that does not think enough of itself to combine into an organization that would study and attack its own problems.
Our local school officials pride themselves upon their membership in the white National Education Association; in fact some of them go so far as to almost draft their teachers into paying for a membership in order to "give our building a reputation above the others," but not one of them, so far as we know, ever raises his voice or makes a motion for affiliation with the one association which is working under similar conditions, facing similar problems with similar difficulties and limitations as their own.
That the teachers who compose the National Negro Education Association, do good work, we know, because we have witnessed the success of their pupils when entered in our own schools. That they labor under difficulties of lower pay and poorer equipment, coupled with social disadvantages due to discrimination, we also know. That these teachers have made

substantial progress both in raising their scholastic standards and in enlisting support for their work, is manifest. That they carry the major responsibility for the social uplift program of their several sections, working against indifference without and shiftlessness within the group, is one of the finest evidences of the high standard of the profession and of its imitation of that Great Teacher who showed them the way amidst the militant, solidly wealthy, intolerant, prejudiced "grandeur that was Rome."
We feel that those teachers realize the futility of those minor aims so often set before them as measurable goals for their labors. Scholarship and research must have shown them that, "The swelling majesties of old have all faded away like the clouds that lightly blew above Persepolis and the Forum. The adamantine crown is CHARACTER." We felicitate the teachers in convention in the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools and predict for them a future of ever increasing usefulness and power measured by their consecrated devotion to the future welfare of our people.
A STAR IN THE BACK
With its usual subtlety, a local newspaper enjoying the patronage and confidence of the unthinking and men-pleasing people of our racial group, stabs us in the back; a paper that never loses an opportunity to become frightfully indignant in its attitude toward some poor, defenseless and unsupported individual, but studiously avoids offending numbers, money and prestige; a paper that never finds it possible to display the pictures of the achievement of colored people in groups, but occasionally gives space and a picture to some "safe and sane Negro who knows his place," and thanks the good white people of Washington for allowing him to live in some section which that paper will advertise in its real estate columns; a paper chasing the will-o-the-wisp of some hope of Republican gains in the Democratic South, shows its true racial attitude in these lines:
Some of the dry Democratic women are asking Governor Smith to give his views on equality for colored and whites. They are charging that he favors racial equality and are spreading the word through the South. The women are no mean antagonists. They are more earnest than the men, as a rule. . . If they become thoroughly aroused, as they may, they may make of the next election a real political slaughter.
The real issue before the Democratic women who have become active and outspoken in southern politics, is not the opinion of Governor Smith as to racial equality. Southern white women have come to see only in protest or antagonism, any possible future for themselves in the elderly man-ridden regime of that section, where people may not, do not, and can not easily change their opinions and attitudes. Southern men opposed women suffrage. Southern women, themselves, did not at first take kindly to it. The practical and profitable eight years under Woodrow Wilson gave them a new point of view. Postponed marriage and the enjoyment of federal and commercial jobs have taught them to find a larger future for themselves by opposing the old political line-up of their male fellow citizens who fear the Negro woman and conceive with the Negro men, to keep themselves in power. The white women of the South are in rebellion against the empty oratory of the Heflins, Swansons, Bleases and Georges, who stormed and raged and swore against the very man who now heads the party ticket and defies them and their threats.
The only race issue in politics in the South is, according to the New York Times (a more sincere and accurate barometer of southern sentiment, and a less hypocritical exponent of American ideals of fairness and justice to the citizens of its region and of the nation, than is our local contemporary), "How may the increased registration and voting of Negroes who have be-
come literate, since the enactment of qualifications designed to keep them out, when they were illiterate, affect white political supremacy in the South?" Baker-Crothers, director of a course in American Citizenship at Dartmouth College, says, "It behooves the citizen to read his paper with a critical eye, to accept questionable statements with hesitation, and to protest flagrant distortion. He may learn to discount both the conscious and the unconscious efforts of his paper to make him think and act along certain lines. He must make allowances for known prejudices."
This local paper has not told you that the Ku Klux Klan had removed its headquarters to Washington and the neighborhood of the paper itself. It has not become indignant, nor has it used its subtle, velvety paragraphs to stir alarm against the "invisible empire" founded upon prejudice, murder, robbery, misrepresentation and bigotry, but it uses its power and influence to revive the old palsied bogey of fear of race equality.
It gives us a stab in the back, in the dark and confusion of political re-alignment, worthy of the Klan itself.
Such conduct should not pass unreubaked, unprotested, let us say, in the patronage given by our group to those who advertise in its columns. Our women may effect that, if they become thoroughly aroused, as they may.

Service
P. W. Shippen, of 1940 New Hampshire avenue, northwest, better known to his friends and associates as Phil, retired the other day after serving 42 years as a mail clerk at the city post office. He is 72 years of age, but by subtracting his 42 years of faithful service to the government from his age, we have 30, just the age that Phil appears to be today.
His long record of service was highly appreciated by his fellow-workers. He was honored at Suburban Gardens last Friday, July 20, with a picnic by the members of the Postal Alliance Association, at which time he was presented with a beautiful Hamilton watch and a box of cigars. Phil hopes that Al Smith will be our next president. He gives as a formular to his longevity and merry way, that he rises early and drinks three gills a day.

A man was arrested the other day with an overcoat on, while the thermometer was at 90, and steadily rising. This reminds me of the story of the sun and wind—only this time he defied the sun to get the wind. He got it, he was put in the cooler.
My People
The only difference between the Federal Patronage Indictments in Mississippi and the Scopes' Evelution Indictments in Tennessee several years ago, is that Scopes was indicted for teaching monkey in the state, and the Mississippi outfit was indicted for monkeying with the United States.
Snogging
On the speedway the other night a fellow was sitting in a parked car with his girl friend, and naturally they were embracing, and an officer came along and arrested them, and the next morning in courth the judge asked what was the charge, and the cop yelled out, "Parking abreast."
Precaution
Before Mr. Hoover arrived at Brule, Wis., the summer home of the President, the other day, the president ordered every board in the boat-house mopped dry. The newspaper men rushed down to see why the executive order had been issued. They were informed that the President did not choose to have his guest walk a wet plank.
High Grass
High Grass
It is reported that the National Capitol Country Club spent a large sum of money for grass for their golf course. Well, if the price of the grass wa sa high then as the grass is now—lost balls.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1928
THE LETTER BOX
SCORES MRS. WILLEBRANDT
To the Editor of The Tribune:
I am sending you herewith a
copy of a letter sent to Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt. If you can
give publication to same, I will
appreciate it.
NEVAL H. THOMAS
July 21, 1928
Miss Mabel Walker Willbrandt,
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Miss,
Perhaps you think you have
deceived the colored people by your
tactics at Kansas City, and your
entry into the heathen commonwealth of Mississippi as some Joan of Arc to save it for white supremacy. This whole scheme against
your colleague, the Honorable Perry W. Howard, was concocted in Washington by the servants of
Mr. Hoover to take from the colored people the last vestige of influence and prestige in a degenerate political party that has lived on the Negro for years, and still lives on him while it doublecrosses him and abandons him to his enemies.
I would have you know that your antics cannot fool a child. You are not trying to clean up politics. If you were, you would do a few things in the Department of Justice, in every department of our government here, in the affairs of the Republican Party in every state of the union, and in the patronage grabbing of other National Committeemen, and in your national convention which was filled with office holders away from their work on government pay, and delivering their votes and their souls for office and other emoluments.
No, my dear lady, you are deceiving no one but yourself. Your industrious (and, as you think, shrewd), activities are not even against Mr. Howard. They are against the colored race. Mr. Hoover and his machine have turned the Negro over to the Rebel South in the foolish notion that he can break it, and at the same time hold the Negro in line in a dozen Northern states where he can determine the Presidency. We issue the challenge, and we will meet you in November at the polls.
On your Holy Crusade you passed through half dozen states in which the Constitution of the United States that you are pledged to defend is most flagrantly violated, and admittedly so, even in so high a place as the United States Senate. The 14th and 15th Amendments are outraged every day, and even the 13th, for through the infamy of peonage, there is slavery as complete and brutal as that destroyed by the blood and carnage of the Civil War. You landed in Mississippi where every conceivable crime is committed against our Constitution, yet "you openeth not your mouth."
We shall meet the faithless party at the polls. Every Negro newspaper in the country is railing against the outrage, informing our millions of this last assault upon their liberties. If Mr. Howard were guilty of everything you disclose, he would only be following the ancient and well-understood policy of all politicians, namely, manipulating the appointments. No, you are not after Mr. Howard; you are after the great Negro race.
Very respectfully yours,
Neval H. Thomas
SAYS HE WILL NOT SUPPORT
HOOVER
Editor of Tribune:
I have supported the Republican party all of my life, and stumped the country for its candidates ever since I was eighteen years of age, but I am now in favor of the election of Governor Smith of New York instead of Herbert Hoover for the following reasons:
First: I firmly believe that the indictment of the Hon. Perry W. Howard is at the instigation of Herbert Hoover who is attempting in this mannerr to aid the lily-whitehs of the South to get control of the southern Republican machinery.
Second: He is counseling with Robert Moton, of Tuskegee, instead of the manly leaders of our race. Robert Moton is a man who has not the respect of the rank and file of our race, because he does not insist upon the according of all the rights and privileges to our race that we are entitled to. In other words he is not a manly race man
Third: Because the Republican party during the past eight years has allowed segregation to increase in the departments although the President and others in authority have kept promising that it should cease. Hoover abolished it in his department just before the nomination, but I consider that another trick of his to get the colored vote. I truly hope that the colored citizens all over the country will vote for Smith instead of Hoover, not that they are Democrats, but to make an example of such Republicans as Coolidge and Hoover. Everybody knows that the Hona Perry W. Howard is as clean a man as ever entered politics, and this is an attempt by Hoover and his followers to put an end to the colored Republican leaders of the South.

Her Daily Tasks
Dear Editor: These hot days make me feel glad that I am not in school. I have certain tasks to do and I hurry along and do them. My mother has roomers and I make the beds and mop the floors every morning. Those are my regular tasks. It is a pleasure to help my mother. Perhaps it is a selfish idea that prompts me to do it. I know so many boys and girls who do not help to do things at home. I hope some day that when I become a mother that my children will be willing to help me. I think that every child should remember that many hands make light work, and I am sure that every child should want to help to make mother's task a bit lighter during these very hot days.
Let us make our vacation time a bit of vacation time for mother
Hail the "Children's Page"
We its name will praise;
In its contents we can see
How Negroes gained their liberty;
How the songs they used to sing
Made the earth and Heavens ring;
How the things they used to do
Helped their masters to pull thru;
How they tried t. use a pen.
How they endured to the end,
Hail the "Children's Page"
We its glorious name will praise.
—Don't Say Nigger—
NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
I will never use the word "nigger."
SARAH
TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE
1. I will never use the word "nigger."
2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race.
3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander.
4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race.
A Writer of Poems
For the Kiddies
Comes to my desk a copy of the Saturday Evening Quill, a magazine of prose and poetry published once a year by the Saturday Evening Quill Club of Boston, Mass.
That that interests us most is a group of seven short poems for children written by Miss Gertrude Parentia McBrown. They are fine lines cleverly arranged to catch the fancy of the young child, and they will be read by the 'teen-age boy and girl with enjoyment. Too, I imagine that there are many older folks, such as I, who will enjoy the reading of them. The captions are Sing, Little Birdie; The Paint Pot Fairy; Busy Fairies; The Frightened Witch; The Wise Owl; Murmuring Tulips; and Bubbles. Her "Busy Fairies" follows: That which interests us most is a Have you ever watched the fairies
Have you ever watched the fairies
As they skip and run
Around in the sun?
Have you ever watched the fairies
Weaving pretty sunbeams
Into beautiful dreams?
Have you ever watched the fairies
Working in the sun?
I have—'tis fun!
Miss McBrown was born in
Charleston, S.C. She is a teacher
in Boston, and she has written a
number of poems for children.
—Don't Say Nigger—
You Love the Rose
I believe you're fallen in love with the rose,
For you sit and watch it for hours:
If I give you the shrub or bright goldenrod
You'll have nothing to do with these flowers.
If I bring you a rose, regardless of hue,
You will take it, kiss it, caress it;
You seem to be praying a prayer unto God—
Do you ask Him to hallow and bless it?
What do you know of the rose, baby mine,
Why do you revere and adore it?
What charm o'er you has this fav'rite flower—
If any—how come you to know it?
Has God given the rose some virtue divine
And some day will you teach me to learn
To worship the rose in the way that you do
With all your power of caring?—
Nothing would please me so much as to know
That your rose and your love I am sharing.
—C.L.F.
—Don't Say Nigger—
THE BOY IN THE MOON
The boy in the moon is a jolly old sport —
His smile I love to see —
I wonder does he ever frown
Like Jenny, Tom or Me.
I wonder does he ever get sick
And haveto take castor oil:
I wonder has he had the mumps,
The measles or a boil.
The boy in the Moon is a lucky chap
I'd bet five cents on that;
He's out every night to throw down
his light
To the serenade of the old tom
cat.

DR. WILLISTON BURIED FROM HOWARD
DR. WILLISTON BURIED FROM HOWARD
(Continued from page 1)
entered Howard University, from which institution he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 1890.
In 1894, Dr. Williston received his doctor of medicine degree and shortly afterward began an internship at Freedmen's Hospital. Besides being the first interne at Freedmen's Hospital, Dr. Williston was the first Negro physician to pass the medical board of the District of Columbia.
The night of his graduation from the Howard Medical School, Dr. Williston was chosen as a member of the faculty and had been identified with his Alma Mater ever since.
For thirty-two years Dr. Williston was visiting obstetrician to Freedmen's Hospital and for the past fifteen years was professor of obstetrics in the Howard University Medical School. At one time Dr. Williston was also professor of medical jurisprudence.
Stricken Two Years Ago
The stroke of paralysis which he suffered two years ago had slowly undermined Dr. Williston's health. He became unable to make his regular routine of sick calls, but nevertheless was at all times willing to give treatment at his office. Dr. Williston was a charter member of several benevolent and fraternal organizations and was active in civic affairs. In 1912, he was a delegate to the Republican national convention in Chicago.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Emma Williston; a son, Sydney Williston; two daughters, Mrs. Grace Parrott, of Baltimore, and Edna Williston; four sisters, Mrs. Ann E. Evans and Mrs. Nettie Drake, of Fayetteville, N.C.; Mrs. Kate Royal of Clinton, N.C., and Mrs. Lillian Penn, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; three brothers, Prof. D. A. Williston, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Dr. J. T. Williston, of Fayetteville, N.C., and Dr. F. O. Williston, of this city; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Bell Ingram, and three grandchildren.
A.M.E. ZION CHURCH SHOWS BIG GROWTH
(Continued from page 1)
$4,091,023 for current expenses and improvements, $662,993 for benevolences, missions, etc., and $5,505 not classified. The total expenditures reported by 2,461 churches in 1916 were $1,700,737. The value of church edifices (including furniture and equipment), as reported by 2,370 churches for 1926, was $18,515,723 which may be compared with $7,591,393 reported by 2,475 churches in 1916.
Urban Areas
Of the 2,466 churches reporting in 1926, 650 located in urban territory (incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more) and 1,816 were in rural areas. Of the total membership, 193,926 were in the urban churches and 262,887 in the rural churches; and of the total expenditures 649 urban churches reported 2,576,570 and 1,815 rural churches, $2,180,496. The value of church property reported by 615 urban churches was $13,451,618 and that reported by 1,755 rural churches was $5,064,105.
Sunday schools were reported by 2,429 churches of this denomination in 1926, with 45,078 officers and teachers and 267,141 scholars. The number of officers and teachers in the Sunday schools as reported for 1916 was 18,982 and the number of scholars, 135,102.
Washington Property
The Zion denomination owns church property in the city of Washington with a valuation of $704,000. Although there are only seven churches in Washington, the valuation of church property here is greater than any of the states except North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and Alabama. The membership of the church in Washington is only 6,448. This gives Washington the highest per capita wealth in the entire denomination.

No information regarding the selection of a personnel to handle the campaign among colored voters was given out Wednesday afternoon. At Mr. Brown's office reporters were directed to go to the publicity department of the Republican national committee in the Barr building. There they were told that there was no information yet.
Dr. Scott is credited with victory in the selection of Mr. Hawkins to direct the campaign. Monday, it appeared that the Moton forces would control. Wednesday, things were reversed, the Scott forces being in the ascendancy.
Surveyed States
Mr. Holsey and Mr. Barnett, it is said, have been on a pay status for several months. They recently completed a survey of the states i. which Negroes vote, returned here and submitted a memorandum to the Hoover campaign management containing a plan and a personnel for conducting the campaign among colored voters. Their memorandum, they claimed, was based upon sentiment prevailing in the states visited by them. Their program was materially changed through the influence of Dr. Scott.

No reservation was made for Mrs. Booze, Mrs. Hert said, because it was not known that she would attend.
"It is untrue that the Republican women drew the color line at our luncheon," Mrs. Hert added. "At the Kansas City convention I entertained all the colored national committeewomen at tea. It is the usual custom for a special table to be provided for colored members of our committee.
"No arrangements were made for Mrs. Booze, for we did not expect her at the meeting, and I was surprised when she arrived. It was impossible to change our arrangements so she could be included at luncheon.

ner of a salaried officer.
In Baltimore where costs of buildings planned or in process of construction run into many millions, unemployment is said to have been relieved 75 per cent. A large number of Negroes are included among those working in building construction. Camp Meade barracks not far removed from Baltimore are under construction and common labor, mostly Negro, is being rapidly absorbed.
Philadelphia Conditions
Philadelphia reports a lessening of its unemployment because the street railways and street repairing are using quantities of Negro labor. Newark and Fort Wayne make similar notations. In Pine Bluff, Ark., night shifts have been installed in the Nash body plant and more favorable conditions have been put in operation for Negro skilled workers.

THIS WEEK'S SERMON
THE IDEALS OF JESUS AS A PATTERN OF GOOD WORK
By Rev. L. L. C. Scott
(Pastor, Enon Baptist Church)
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." St. John 9:4.
It was Sunday morning when Jesus left the little village of Bethany and passed west toward Jerusalem. When he reached the summit of Olivet, the great city burst upon his view. With the splendor beneath his feet, he beheld it and broke into an impassioned lamentation, "O Jerusalem, thou that killeth and stoneth the prophets, how often would I have saved thee but thou woulddest not."
As he moved on toward the temple, the whole city was moved to one great inquiry from excited lips saying, "Who is this??" And the multitude said, "It is Jesus."
His journey on this great purpose of salvation, should not be passed up without considering the land and the things which followed.
Perhaps no other country of this

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1928
size presents such a variety of scenery. Here was found the perpetual snow which crowns Mount Hermon. Here a traveler could sweep the whole land with one grand vision.
Jerusalem at this time was a lively scene of human activity. It was a commercial bee-hive and the star of industry. Its narrow streets were crowded with workmen, traders, soldiers and rabbi. The Roman tax collector was found in every town.
Jesus saw that the religion of the people was intense enough, but it failed to work for the purity and honor to God. Their external habits had multiplied and the true spirit and principle of Christ had disappeared.
In the midst of such adverse circumstances Jesus began to work and teach against all doctrines and impurity of religion, and said, "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work." In that day the people inclined to Hebrew life. As now, a diversity of views, and a despairing struggle for something better ran high; as today the inward stress of man's heart for worldly pleasure and the spread of materialism was predominant over religious purity. The people had to be awakened to the work of human salvation.
Josephus confesses that the decline of the people was in the last stage and the general cry was, "O that someone would come to guide us into truth." Humanity had reached its extremity. Hebrew religion, Greek wisdom, and Roman politics had failed; prophetic visions had also failed to satisfy the people, but their failure prepared a way for Jesus, the divine founder of Christian religion. This shows that man's extremity is God's opportunity.
As a lady was standing in front of a great cathedral she heard someone behind her say, "Did not we do a fine piece of work?" She turned to see who was speaking. She saw a man dressed in a workingman's clothes. She said to him, "Pray tell me what part did you take in this building." He said, "I mixed the mortar for this building, and I have right to claim a part in it."
No Christian has a right to claim a part in God's kingdom who is above mixing mortar. Mortar mixers are the doers and the church depends largely upon the doers—those who work.
Work is the mother of hope. Doubt and despair are regular borders of the mind.
Work is the mother of truth, not by studying but by doing. The real truth never gets in without action.
Work is the mother of joy. Rest is never good when you rest all of the time—but it is very good after a day spent in mixing mortar.
Work is the law by which men must live. The hills do not give up their treasures unless you labor for them.
"I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work." The day of providence, of opportunity, of reason, of the gospel, and of privilege in the spiritual world is ours now, but the night of death when no man can work is drawing near.

Trinity Baptist Church, Thirteenth and Corcoran streets, has called Chaplain J. W. Bundrant, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church Beckley, W. Va., to the pastorage of that church. Rev.

Local Clergyman Discusses Religious Beliefs of Famous Men
By Rev. Walter H. Brooks
These articles are written in response to the article by Edgar M. Grey, entitled, "Black White List and White Black List," appearing in the April 14 issue of the New York News; and to the reproduction of the same point of view by W. E. B. Dubois in his June issue of the Crisis. These views held that William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, John Brown and Wendell Phillips were men to be classed with Clarence Darrow as free-thinkers.
WENDELL PHILLIPS
Like Benjamin Lundy and William Lloyd Garrison, so too, Wendell Phillips was a Christian—a Christian of no mean order. How any one, who knew the man, could say he was not, or call him a freethinker, "one who discards revelation," is surprisingly strange.
I have before me Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography, volume IV, page 700, where it speaks of Wendell Phillips as follows: "His parents were of the Evangelical faith, and in one of the revivals of religion that followed the settlement of Dr. Lyman Beecher in Boston, he became a convert, and did not at any subsequent time depart from the faith of his fathers." It is well known, that Wendell Phillips, learned and great man that he was, man of truly Christ-like spirit, dedicated his whole being to the cause of justice and humanity.
No man in America excelled him in his love and devotion, and in effective service to the African slave in our professedly Christian country, boasting itself as "The land of the free, and the home of the brave." In this devotion, and in this service, Phillips found himself at war with every pro-slavery church, and with every slave-holding state, and with every man and woman, on free-soil, who sympathized with, and abetted the cause of human enslavement and oppression. Nor did he hesitate to expose and denounce the iniquities of his time. Elijah-like, he was the very power of God, in witnessing against the curse and awful crime of American slavery. It is just here, that we need to keep clear in our minds, that, "while he denounced the churches for their complicity with slavery, he made no war upon their creeds."
As a college man, Wendell Phillips was devoutly religious, as his collegemates perceived in the manner and spirit in which he attended morning and evening prayers, and, in his church relationships, during his entire life, he was regarded as a man of piety and soundness in the faith. His war was against the conduct of professed Christians, who loved the institution of human slavery more than they loved the principles of brotherly kindness, justice and mercy, principles which constitute the very life of the Christian religion. Let us never forget that, as the ancient Hebrews, when they de-

parted from God, were rebuked by prophets of their own people, whom the Lord raised up for this specific purpose, so God raised up, in America, men like the Rev. Elijah Parish Lovejoy, who was brutally murdered because of his devotion to the slave; John Brown, who was hanged at Charlestown, W. Va., and Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated just as the new day of freedom dawned on our country.
And the same God who raised up these to fight the battles of the helpless slave, also raised up Lucretia Mott, that remarkable preacher of the Society of Friends, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, that godly woman, whose pen, in writing, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," touched the sympathies of the human family, and stirred the powers of slavedom to make their last fatal struggle to continue in this country the institution of human slavery.
These, and many more whose names are on our lips, God raised up from the ranks of believers, who were consciencious students of the Holy Scriptures, that the institution of human bondage might perish, and be no more in America while the world stands.
If in addition to these, God saw fit, in order to accomplish his wise and beneficent purpose, to call from the ranks of infidelity and atheism, a few men and women, he did for us only what he did for ancient Israel, in using certain heathen kings, and foreign prophets, after the order of Balaam. With these facts in mind, it is easy to see how men like Wendell Phillips could be terrors to slaveholding churches, and at the same time live in blessed fellowship with God, and that when associated, in matters of civic reform and common justice, with men of different religious creeds, and men of no creeds, and even with avowed infidels, they could still be Christians.
At any rate, I accept the testimony of Phillips' biographer, that Wendell Phillips was a converted man, and, in all his life, as a Christian, he was true to the faith of his fathers.

Ted Thompson Expected to Repeat As Star Racqueters Throughout the Country Prep for A.T.A. Event
BORDENTOWN, N.J., July 19—Gerald F. Norman, executive secretary of the American Tennis Association, the national body which controls tennis among Negro players, has just released the annual bulletin of the association which contains the program of the national championships to be held August 20-25, at Bordentown, N.J.
This event is by no means a new affair in New Jersey, for in 1925 Bordentown was once before the scene of this tournament when Ted Thompson of Washington, present holder of the men's national title, defeated Edgar Brown of Indiana-anapolis in what was then a startling upset. In the same tournament, "Lou" Ballard of Philadelphia, then a seventeen-year-old high school girl, overcame Isadore Channels of Chicago to win the title which she also holds at present. Other national champions who will defend their titles include Ted Thompson and Tally Holmes, perennial men's doubles champs, Louis Jones and Blanche Winston, mixed doubles monarchs, and Miss Ballard and Ora Washington, women's doubles champions.
Champions are Favorites
All of these champions are favored to retain their titles, but they must wade through stern opposition to accomplish such a feat. In the path of Thompson looms the threatening figure of Eyre Saitch, dashing Adonis of the courts, once national champion and three times runner-up, whose game this year shows a power and act the New York youth. New Jercuracy never before attained by sey presents two strong contenders in the Worde brothers of Elizabeth, Kenneth and Solomon, while Downing of Virginia and Hudlin of St. Louis are likewise to be considered.
The Women Champs
In the case of the women, it is hard to see how any player can hope to pass the triumvirate of Miss Ballard, Miss Washington, and Miss Channels, any one of which might come through to the title. Miss Washington is the winner of the recent New England Open held at New Haven, where Miss Ballard was defeated in the quarterfinals by Mrs. Gittens of New York.
The junior title is again conceded to Douglass Turner, hard-hitting youth of Chicago, whose strongest opponent will doubtless be Reggie Weir of New York City. Negro tennis fans find in these two lads their greatest reasons for hope that tennis among colored players will in the near future approach that of the world's outstanding players. Their form is correct, they are enjoying the advantages of expert coaching, and through their play on school and college teams they are meeting players of ranking in U.S.L.T.A. circles.
Ideal Background
The Bordentown Manual Training School on whose courts the matches will be played, will also extend the use of its dormitories and dining halls to the players. The beautiful grounds of the State school will furnish an ideal background for what has become the most attractive sports event promoted by colored people anywhere in the country. Reservations are daily pouring in from all over the country, and players have announced their intention of coming from cities as far distant as Georgia and California. Extension Worker L. B. Granger of the Bordentown School staff, is in charge of local arrangements, which include an attractive social program for the benefit of visitors and players who are eliminated in the early rounds.

THE SPORT REVIEW
BEES WITH LUNDY TO BATTLE LOCAL BLACK SOX
The Washington Black Sox are facing a busy week of it with the Myrtle A.C., this Sunday, and the Bacharach Giants, champions of the Eastern Colored Baseball League, following next Thursday. The Myrtle team, at present leaders of the local Union League, will be engaged in a twin bill beginning at 2:30 p.m., at Union League Baseball Park. In a previous encounter the Simonites emerged with a double verdict. Dick Lundy, America's premier Negro shortfielder, will lead the champion Atlantic City aggregation into American League Park for a twilight battle at 4:45 p.m. Thursday. Ring Gardner, a product of the District sandlots getting preliminary schooling with the old Teddy Bears, now a member of the Bees, will perhaps draw the mound assignment for Lundy's Seasiders.
BRUCE FLOW'RS BEATEN BY LOPE TENARIO
NEW YORK.—Bruce Flowers, sensational New Rochelle lightweight, suffered a decisive trimming at the hands of Lope Tenario, white, at Queensboro Stadium, here last Tuesday night. The verdict was awarded Tenorio by a decision of the judges.
Flowers held his own through the first eight rounds of the bout, but as the end drew near, the white boxer gained the edge. As the bell rang to finish the contest, the Negro was groggy.
From start to finish, Flowers succeeded in pounding his opponent during the early part of each round, but always he lacked the stamina necessary to hold the foreigner off as the stanza closed.
The white fighter opened a gash in the corner of Flowers' mouth in the second frame, and for the remainder of the bout, pecked away at it at will.
The decision met with the approval of the crowd. Tenoric weighed in at 137 1/2 pounds. Flowers had 136 pounds.
ANACOSTIANS STOP BLACK BARON A.C.
6th and K—Proc Taylor's fast traveling Anacostia Athletics put the stop sign on the Black Baron baseball team in the class A Tribune League chase, here, last Sunday, by the score of 12-10.
Reed and Stewart faced "Fast Ball" Dixon on the firing hill, and with an array of curves held the Barons to ten scattered safeties. Tate, Anacostia out-fielder, led the swatters with three hits in four trips plateward. His teammate, Hollins, connected for the circuit.

PIEDMONTS DOWN LIONS IN SEVENTH STRAIGHT
COLESVILLE, MD.—The league leading Piedmont A. C. chalked up their seventh straight victory in the Washington Tribune Baseball League, here last Sunday, by defeating the Colesville Lions, 5-1. Braxton's outfit, on several occasions, threatened to be a serious menace to the Piedmont streak, but in each instance the flashy young city boys were able to stem the tide.
Toots Brown, veteran outfielder of the league leaders, led the batters with a brace of doubles and a single. **
COLESVILLE NINE CLAIMS TRIBUNE LEAGUE TITLE
Tigers Say Lions Have No Right to be Called Champs
A controversy has arisen between the Colesville Tigers and the Colesville Lions, the latter being the Colesville representative in the Tribune League. The Tiger team has forwarded the following letter to this paper:
"To the Readers of the Washington Tribune
Tribune:
"You are well aware of the fact that last year, the Colesville Tigers won the championship of the Tribune League, and not the Colesville Lions as erroneously reported.
"Certain errors have been made in reporting that the Colesville Lions were the champions, which is not so, as the Colesville Lions' team is a new organization, formed this year by the former manager of the Tigers. The Colesville Tigers had been for many years the only colored baseball team located at Colesville, Md., and should not be confused with the new organization just formed and known as the Colesville Lions.
Tigers are Good
"The Colesville Tigers would appreciate the assistane of the sport department in correcting these reported errors and confusion in names by publishing this open letter to the baseball public.
"Great progress and wonderful playing on the part of the team of the Colesville Tigers, under the successful management of its new leader, Ben Adams, have aroused quite a bit of interest and it is reputed that the team is showing better form than last year.
"Trusting that the above matter will be presented to the many readers of the Washington Tribune, and thanking you for your co-operation in correcting the error by calling attention of the readers of the Washington Tribune to the fact that the Colesville Tigers were the champions last year, we remain,
Further Facts
Here is an unfortunate condition and it appears that the Colesville Tigers have "as much" right to be referred to as "the champions" as has the Colesville Lion team. However, since there are no less than seven players who were recognized as first-string players on the Tiger team last year now connected with the Lion outfit, it seems that the former has "no more right" than the latter to the claim of the title.
Manager Willie Braxton, who in 1927, was boss of the outfit which won the championship of the Tribune League, now heads the Colesville representative in the newspaper league. With him is Clarence Webster, George Hyson, William Hyson, Preston Hyson, William Lancaster, Eugene Lomax, John Campbell, Charles Campbell, Lawrence Kelly and Edgar Thomas of the 1927 Colesville Tiger baseball club. These men were of the "Tribune League team last year, and are of the Tribune League this year.
Our Opinion
In consideration of this, more than anything else, the sports editor has, on several occasions, connected the present Colesville representative in the league, with the 1927 championship. There has been no intention whatever to ignore the baseball prowess nor injure the reputation of the Colesville Tigers. A question of this sort always revolves itself around an opinion. This is our opinion, which we honestly believe to be logical and fair.

MYRTLES DIVIDE TWIN BILL WITH ORIENTALS
The Oriental Tigers split their doubleheader bill with the Myrtle A.C., winning the first game, 4 to 3, and losing the second, 10 to 2, in a Union League double header, Sunday. Scriver on the mound for the champions in the matinee frolic, was hit hard, but pitched a steady game and emerged victorious. Posey, the Myrtle's young pitching ace, opposed Scriver, and pitched a fine game until the fifth inning, when he lost his cunning and was relieved by Vanell. The second game was a slugging match with the Myrtle's finally emerging winners. Powell, of the Orientalts pitched fine ball until relieved by Adams in the sixth. Barner weathered the storm and gained the split. The Myrtles garnered 16 hits off Powell and Adams.
On Sunday, July 29, the Orientals will engage the Woodridge A.C., team, a strong white club, in a doubleheader, on their diamond on the point, the first game starting at 1:30 p.m. This team is composed of players with major and minor league experience, and it is expected that they will make the champions hustle. The Orientals desire to book week-day games. For games address William P. Scott, 1403A So. Capitol street, or call Atlantic 867 after 5:30 p.m.
BLACK SOX SCORE TWIN
WIN OVER WHITE NINE
Simon Sheffield's Washington Black Sox took both ends of their double-header with the white Woodridge A.C. team at Union League Park last Sunday by scores of 3-1 and 7-3.
Cook Nickens. Sheffield's fast ballmanipulator handled the slab duties in the curtain-raiser and did so in fine style. The lanky Soxman, though given a scant two run margin, kept the eight Woodridge bingles so well scattered that the white boys were unable to use them to advantage.
Shoofly Craig, ex-Oriental Tiger hot corner guardian, made his debut in a Black Sox uniform and conducted himself in a noteworthy fashion. His triple aided materially in the Sox cause.
Gil Bland, cross-fire artist of the Simonite mound corps, exhibited a nifty assortment of curves to hold the aliens at bay in the

Though the scrappy little Cub bunch was handicapped with a 5-run lead from the outset, they put up a fight which was not considered lost until the last Columbian had batted out. **

The Hillsdale clan, by virtue of its victory, pushed into second place on the heels of the fast traveling Anacostia Athletics. Bartie Black was also a figure in the Hillsdale outfit.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE OUTLOOK
By Wm. C. Traynham
By jumping into a five-run lead in the first inning, Agriculture was never headed and won over Navy Yard, 8-5. Navy fought stubbornly but the early lead obtained off the slants of Shorts, Navy's south-paw, was too much to overcome. Navy kept pecking at Gilliard but could do little with Bear Bailey. Pleasant also starred in the relief role. Skipper Frazier clouted a homer. Grant connected for a triple.
Veterans Bureau handed G.P.O. a game on a silver platter, 10-9. This contest (at no time a ball game) was marked by numerous errors on both sides. Vincson deserved a better fate, as Hughes was hit hard. Bland put a stop to the rally, acting in the relief role. Brown added another homer to his long list.
Bailey Wins Game
By allowing three scattered hits and serving up an assortment of twisters that completely baffled the G.P.O. sluggers, Bailey led Agriculture to victory, 10-0. Only once was he in danger when the bases were loaded with none out, but he came out retiring the next three batters in order. J. Moore hit two homers, Lewis a triple and double, and led their team at bat. Williams and Moten did some sparking fielding to cut off alien hits, six G.P.O. batters were victimized on strikeouts by Bailey. This game puts Agriculture on even terms in standing with G.P.O. Williams, of Agriculture, and M. Jefferson, of Treasury, lead the batters with marks of 500 each. Dandridge, G.P.O. .462; Pleasant and Frazier, Navy Yard. 421 each are next in order, while Morris leads his team, Veteran's Bureau, with 334.
In run: scored Toots Brown, G.P. leads with 13, his team mates Dandridge and Bland, 11 each; P.Brown, Navy Yard, 10; J. Moore, Aggies, 9; M. Jefferson, Treasury, 6; Briscoe, Veterans' Bureau, 3. P.Brown, of Navy Yard, and Fauntroy, of G.P.O., are leaders respectively in base stealing, the former with 10, the latter, 5; Grant, Aggies, 4, while the Veterans' Bureau and Treasury's best are Lee and Williams. Brown continues to hold the lead with homers having 6, followed by J. Moore, Aggies, 4; Pleasant, Navy Yard, 3; M. Jefferson, Treasury, 2.
Tid-Bits
Tolson, of Veterans' Bureau went Baylor one better in comic ways of wearing a uniform, as his was in a regular game, while Baylor's was only in practice.
E. Ross had a hard time convincing the fans his uniform had not been called in; 'twas an ancient one he was wearing.
Greenfield wanted to know what position Butler played on the G. P.O. team, as he never saw a uniform so clean.

BLUE SOX DOWNED BY PIRATE CREW
BROOKLAND, D.C.—Three two-ply killings helped "Scoops" Johnson's Washington Pirates to emerge on the long end of an 8-2 battle with the Washington Blue Sox, in a Tribune League contest, here last Sunday.
Dede, on the slab for the Pirate crew, pitched creditable ball which proved even more effective with the faultless support accorded him by his teammates. Trice hurled winning ball for the Sox, but against the Pirates in their form of Sunday was compelled to be content with the outcome. **

_ REPUBLIC THEATRE
Beginning Sunday, July 29 to
‘Thursday, August 2, inclusive, the
Republic, Theatre will present Clara
Bow in her first dramatic role in
“Gadies of the Mob,” a story of
the woman's side of the under-
world |-A great many dramas of
tho underworld have been flashed
pas the screen but it has taken
ra Bow, queen of the flappers,
to give'the motion picture public
the: most stirring of all. The dy-
namic; Clara, plays the part of a
girl of the underworld, a follower
of the “mob”—the gangster’s girl
friend. ’
A murderer is electrocuted. The
mother of his little daughter swears
vengeance on society. Under this
bitter influence, Yvonne, the daugh-
ter—played by Clara Bow—grows
ap. A daring bank robbery and a
machine gun battle in the streets
of a big city furnish a few of the
series of thrills in “Ladies of the
Mob.”
Spiritualistic” seances, ghosts,
sliding panels, and secret passage.
ways feature “A Thief in the Dark,
to be shown at the Republic on
Friday and Saturday, August 3 and
4. It tells of strange and fantastic
adventures in a house of mystery
i. which a gang of fake mediums
materialize the spirit of their dead
victim in an effort to steal a for-
tune. “A Thief in the Dark” is
one of the most sensational films
ever made. Romance and pathos,
mystery and suspense, they're all
in this thriller.
Vitaphone acts to be presented
during the week include Joe Wong,
the Chinese jazz boy, who brings
the jazz songs of the day to the
audience in a picturesque Oriental
way. Joe is among the few Chinese
who have ever turned successfully
to jazz music and presented it in
the way it should be. But it is al-
ways evident that Joe Wong is a
Chinaman, and he makes no effort
to mask his identity behind the
cloak of Western dress. Wong has
long been a headliner in big-time
vaudeville,
One of the most unusual numbers
ever made by Vitaphone has just
been completed. This number is
the delightful production, “Hjlan’s
Birds,” an unusual novelty act.
These birds exhibit abilities that
we expect only of human beings.
An entertaining Vitaphone comedy
sketch entitled “Stranded,” featur-
ing Richard Carle, the celebrated
comedian, completes this diversified
Vitaphone program.
LINCOLN THEATRE
When “Ramona” is flashed on
the Lincoln screen, Sunday, Mon-
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week, those who
have followed the rise of this Mex-
ican star, will admit too, that her
portrayal of the little Indian maid-
en, whose life is constantly clouded
with bitter grief and who rises to
the heights in emotional acting, in
the character of “Ramona,” has
given the best efforts in her career.
“Ramona” is a simple story, sim-
ply told, and Edwin Carewe car-
ried out the thoughts and man-
nerisms of Helen Hunt Jackson,
its author, when he produced the
story for ‘the screen. No devia-
tions have been made. Like the
Tolstoy story, “Resurrection,”
Carewe has abided by the original
story and has remained within the
bounds prescribed by the author
whose heart and very soul were
wrapped up in her mission of bring-
ing the trials and tribulations of
the Mission Indians before open
notice.
Never has the inside workings
of a metropolitan police force been
so vividly portrayed as in “The
Shield of Honor,” the Universal
production, which will be shown
Friday and Saturday.
Dan McDowell, veteran officer,
and his son, Jack, who is to be the
first flying officer in the force, are
being honored at a celebration of
the addition of the aviation divis-
ion to the department. Gwen O'Day
daughter of a wealthy jeweler,
christens the new plane and Jack
immediately becomes interested in
er.
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday,
only, will be shown the famous Fox
Movie-Tone News.
‘The Vitaphone presentations for
the week are Charles Hackett
leading tenor of the Chicago Civic
Opera Company. He will offer the
“Song of, the Nile,” and the “Song
of India,” Charles Rogers, present-
ing his outstanding stage success.
“The Iceman,” Gus Arnheim and
his Cocoanut Grove Orchestra in a
selection of popular jazz numbers

HOWARD THEATRE
For the week beginning Monday
matinee, July 30, Irvin C. Miller
will present the second production
of his summer policy, which is
something entirely new and differ-
ent. It is a musical play entitled
“The Showman” and is a serious
study of the show life of actors and
actresses behind the scenes.
‘There is an abundance of good
comedy, music and good dancing.
“The Showman” has an all-star
cast of clever actors and actresses
as well as a huge chorus of sixteen
Prancing) girls, whose outstanding
number will be the famous “Tiller
Dance.”
In addition to the musical com-
edy, there will be shown on the
screen, Monday, Tuesday, and Wed-
nesday, “The Skyscraper,” — Wil-
liam Boyd's current DeMille star-
ying vehicle for Pathe. It is as
unique in plot and characterization
as it is in technical treatment and
has startingly different photo-
graphy from any picture ever to
Teach the screen.
On Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, “The Blue Danube”
will be shown, Motion pictures are

Kelly Miller, Howard University
professor and a publicist, had a
birthday, Monday. He was 65
years old. He spent the day quiet-
ly with his family. In the morn-
ing he taught summer school. In
the afternoon he worked in his
garden.
Dean Miller came to Howard
University in 1880. Ten years lat-
er he became a member of its fac
ulty.
Tn the 38 years that have passed
he has seen many important chang-
es at Howard University. The
most important, he says, is the
change in the color scheme of the
administration.
In an interview on his birthday,
he recalled some of the changes.
“I have seen Howard University
change,” he said, “from a small
college with 20 pupils to ‘a large
college with 1,700 pupils.
Broader Views
“I have seen it change from
puritanical basis of belief and dis.
eipline to the broader ‘and mor
liberal modern point of view, lead-
ing I know not, whither,
“I have seen it change from the
classical and humanistic curriculum
into the more modern scheme of
the physical and social sciences.
“T have seen it change in edu.
cational ideals from the develop:
ment of the human spirit in it
pure essence to the modern voca
tional point of view. In the earlier
days it was the education of mar
for himself. Now it is the train
ing of the mind for a job. Bu
with it all the university is funct-
ioning in a widening way in the
life and uplift of the Negro race.”
REFUSES TO AID POLICEMEN,
IS ARRESTED ON DANGER-
OU SWEAPON CHARGE
Because she refused to permit
officers of the Ninth Police Precinct
to enter her house for the purpose
of arresting Robert Wince, a
roomer, Mrs. Bessie Portier, 1012
Ninth street, northeast, was hauled
into ete and sentenced to sixty
days straight on a count of assault
with a dangerous weapon, Tuesday.
‘The policemen, J. E. Cross, F. M.
James and G. E. Stanton, ali white,
declared that they were menaced
ms 45 calibre six-shooter of the
5 in the hands of Mrs. Por-
tier when they made a second cal
at the house after haying once
been rejected.
The policemen testified that they
went to the Ninth street address,
on Saturday, and asked for Mr.
Wince. Mrs, Portier, they said,
told them they could not enter her
house. They returned, Sunday,
and this time were threatened with
the revolver.
Mrs. Portier, on the witness
stand, testified that the officers had
refused to show her a warrant for
the arrest of Mr. Wince, and that
when they returned with a warrant
for her arrest, that they did not
wait until she could get to the door
to open it, but instead broke it
open. She declared that the police-
men forced their way into her home
and that one of them, Cross, went
to her bed-room and took the pistol
from her telephone stand where it
had lain for fifteen years.
Mrs. Portier, when sentenced,
asked if she could pay a fine as an
alternative of the sixty days. The
court answered in the negative.

the activities of Mrs. Willebrandt.
He admitted that she is one of the
Hoover campaign chieftains, but
denied responsibility for her going
‘to Mississippi and having the in-
dictments returned against the Re-
publican leaders in that state.
Davis, Watson, Cohen?
_When asked concerning the Geor-
‘gia situation, Dr. Work stated that
there would probably be no nation-
al committeeman selected for that
state until the next Republican na-
tional convention. He offered no
explanation of the failure of the
executive committee of the Repub-
lican national committee to_seat
either Benjamin Jefferson Davis,
who served until the Kansas City
convention, or Joseph H, Watson,
who opposed him, both being col-
-ored men.
In the.case of Walter L. Cohen,
comptroller of customs at New Or-
leans, who was dethroned as a par-
ty leader. in Louisiana, Dr. Work
was content to say that when col-
ored men go wrong, “we can’t pro-
‘tect them,” meaning that Mr. Coher
had committed an unpardonable
crime in supporting Senator
Charles Curtis for the presidential
nomination.
To Win the South
Developments subsequent to the
indictment of Howard and his as-
sociates, however, show a determi-
nation ie ‘the part of the Hoover
cam| management to wage a
sates fight in the South, oar.
ticularly in the states of Virginia
and North Carolina.
C. Bascom Slemp, national com-
mitteeman for Virginia, has been
given an advisory place at the Re-
publican campaign headquarters in
the Barr building here. Mr. Slemp
is famous as the author of the
“Dear Ben” letters, soliciting con-
tributions from Federal officehold-
ers while a member of Congress.
Mr. Slemp was not prosecuted but
was made secretary to President
Harding.
Lily-White Slemp
Mr. Slemp came into prominence
in national polities as the leader of
the “lily-white” forces. The Re-
ublican party in Virginia under
Ris leadership barred Negroes from
its state conventions and became
strictly a “white man’s” party.
‘When he was appointed secretary
to President Harding, there was s0
much opposition to him by colored
Republicans that Mr. Slemp sent
for the most prominent colored Re-
blicans and told them that he
tea seen the error of his ways and
from then on he would favor a par-
‘ty in which every man would be
on equal terms regardless of col-
or.
Mr. Slemp kept his promise while
hhe was in the White House. He
was most gracious to colored vot-
ers. But when he left the White
House, he returned a the folds a
th> “lily whites.” It’is Feporte
that he is one of those who planned
to get rid of the colored members
of the Republican national commit-
tee following the Kansas City con-
vention.
Notification Ceremonies
The report is also current here
that efforts are being made to have
George S. Goodman, of Holly
Springs, Miss. and Edward S.
Richardson, of Marshallville, Ga.,
to give their proxies as members
of the committee to notify Mr.
Hoover of his nomination to white
men. It is said that the presence
‘of colored men is not desired at the
notification ceremonies at Stanford
University, August 11.
Robert R. Church, of Memphis,
Tenn., is a member of this com-
mittee, but so far as could be
learned no efforts.are being made
to have him stay away from the
notification ceremonies. According
ear ip ares advices, he will at-
tend.
